[00:00] OttifantSir: I see.. thanks for your help.. was starting to upset me.. been working on this laptop for a few days now [00:00] sinbox, thanks [00:00] WIGGMPk: Rather, they didn't enable the option because NTFS is considered an inferior filesystem to ext3/4, Reiser, JFS and XFS [00:02] pnglb: Unless you could entice the admin to install a cvs-ish clone on his/her machine, I don't know how to keep the server in sync with your system (unless you just ftp back to it.) Perhaps someone else has a better clue. === Odin is now known as Guest40561 [00:03] SteveHill: I don't know rsync, but if it allows me to open an ftp connection, compare, then send new/updated files, that should be enough. === Guest40561 is now known as th0r [00:04] WIGGMPk: Probably, this is due to Gparted being a front-end for parted, while fdisk is just fdisk. Different features and command-sets and such [00:04] OttifantSir: so you think my disk's with fail down the raod? [00:05] what's the status of 9.04 with old ATI hardware? [00:05] have a Dell 610 with ATI X300 gpu [00:05] pnglb: rsync uses ssh/telnet to work its magic. It pulls a director for a distant system, compares it to yours, then effects the transfer of changed items. [00:05] como instalar programas de extensão bin no ubuntu?

[00:06] WIGGMPk: No, I don't think there's a risk of that.

Basically I want to map button 9 to use the function of button 2. How would I do that? [00:09] hi people, is there any easy way to remove all the packages on my system except the base system (ubuntu-desktop package)? I want to remove all the crap I installed...

Check dmesg and /var/log/messages for program errors, inspect ps aux, see memory usage and hardware stats (temperature). [00:24] hello [00:24] is anyone here familiar with Aptana?

[00:31] getting this when compiling amarok http://pastebin.com/d5165993 can't find in repo and ideas ? [00:31] hittt: see /etc/init.d - you can write your own initscripts from SKELETON [00:32] ok thx i will look [00:32] hvgotcodes: you should be safe to kill it. If it complains, then dpkg --configure -a should handle the rest. [00:33] hittt: the only way I know to do that is to create an init script that runs at bootup [00:33] thewanderer_, but what do i do after i kill synaptic? [00:33] init has root access? [00:33] it hasnt finished installing packages, or cleaned up [00:33] Is there an Ubuntu version that does not install any but the barebone system? [00:33] hittt: see ps aux [00:33] Hi I downloaded some nautilus scripts from g-scripts where is the nautilus script directory in 9.04 [00:33] hvgotcodes: synaptic uses apt-get under the good I believe [00:34] hvgotcodes: s/good/hood/ [00:34] hvgotcodes: was it installing, or configuring packages when it froze? [00:34] thewanderer_, so just kill synaptic and restart? [00:34] thewanderer_: thanks [00:35] GParted keeps automounting all my partitions when I start it, how do I stop that so I can actually edit the partitions? [00:35] i installed one thing in synaptic and at this point i forget what it even was and without even looking at what that one thing was going to do to other applications i confirmed. now i have a few important apps gone like 'acetoneiso, flash plugin, picasa, nspluginwrapper, wine' i cant even go into synaptic and reinstall them http://www.imagebam.com/image/8ca4e342560012 and http://www.imagebam.com/image/d444a242560014 [00:36] hvgotcodes: if it was configuring packages, do a "dpkg --configure -a" first then go back to Synaptic. If installing, a simple restart should be ok.

[00:40] ok, now i have an issue with MPD. i'm trying to get a webUI to connect to it, and i had one called "theory" that worked, but only partially - and it was fairly ugly, v0.1.8 and was old. anyways, i'm using relaXX now, which looks amazing, seems to have connected - it has all of my musc in the list - but it won't show what's playing now or control mpd at all like the "theory" webui was able to - any suggestions? [00:40] thewanderer_, there were error with flash again [00:41] danny_: you could remove flashplugin-nonfree temporarily, then try without it [00:42] danny_: either that, or "dpkg --configure -a" [00:43] thewanderer_, http://pastebin.com/m1b7395c8 [00:43] so does anyone know why an mpd-client would be able to see music but not see what's playing or be able to control mpd at all? i don't have a password for mpd, is that an issue? [00:44] danny_: try "sudo dpkg --configure flashplugin-installer" [00:45] thewanderer_, http://pastebin.com/m72a30 [00:46] Some user tell me please: Do you have /etc/hal/fdi/policy or /etc/hal/fdi/policies (note the plural)?

Have you checked vt7? Is gdm unable to allocate a screen? If so, check X.org logs and prepare for some bug digging... [00:48] Eiles, i'm logged in as the admin user.

Im Install Ubuntu REmix on HTC Shift (Ubuntu 9.04) but the Touch and de Wireless donsent work. [00:48] I mean, firefox just crashes [00:49] But it works on my Windows XP computers using firefox [00:49] thewanderer_, http://pastebin.com/m637bb31e [00:50] skibiliano: update Firefox and see if the problem persists. If yes, check what components are running (Flash? loads of JavaScript?), if it's not plugins then it might be a Firefox bug [00:50] BugsCrash: have you tried regular ubuntu? [00:50] How can you update firefox on ubuntu? [00:50] the button for checking for updates in firefox is grayed out [00:51] and I am not so familiar with the gnome-terminal commands [00:51] Eiles, besikdes, by default anonymous users should be able to see/control the currently playing music etc. [00:51] !ff3.5 | skibiliano [00:51] skibiliano: Firefox 3.5 Final is available for Jaunty by installing the package firefox-3.5 | FF3.5 is referred to as Shiretoko on your UI, see http://is.gd/1reB3 for an explanation | Hardy & Intrepid: http://is.gd/1jkNY [00:51] as I previously mentioned [00:51] I have Hardy 8.04 [00:51] sorry i missed that part :( [00:51] skibiliano: you update software in ubuntu via synaptic on the system menu. [00:52] Installed 9.04 on a friends machine. No sound. Anyone know a fix or a cheap sound card that is compatible? [00:52] how do you untar file that has been tar with -z option (compressed)? [00:52] danny_: you are running an alpha version of Ubuntu, which contains bugs. For now, run "sudo mkdir /var/cache/flashplugin-installer" and then go on with "dpkg --configure -a" [00:52] Checking for updates.... While it's doing that, I have an another problem with ubuntu's firefox [00:53] No updates visible according to this, anyway, the problem is that my flash can't be updated from 9.0.4 to 10 [00:53] I downloaded the .deb from official site so it could update to 10, it installed properly [00:53] skibiliano: why haven't you upgraded in general? [00:53] thewanderer_: X11 run on vt7, I can't kill it [00:54] Umm, what do you mean by upgrading in general? [00:54] /what is that program called that is summoned by command "vi"? [00:54] skibiliano: well, you are running 8.04, why don't upgrade to 9.04? [00:54] thewanderer_, is this all going well? http://pastebin.com/m56192451 [00:54] well, how easy is updating to 9.04? [00:54] danbhfive: you might not want to go there...if I knew what I know now I would have installed hardy instead of jaunty [00:54] Do i need to remove 8.04 and install 9.04? [00:54] or is it applied on it? [00:54] vim? [00:55] I don't have access to any blank CD's or DVD's at the current moment [00:55] !who [00:55] As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [00:55] skibiliano: if you have 8.04 working fairly well...why upgrade? it might cause more trouble than it is worth [00:55] #xubuntu [00:56] th0r: well, I always upgrade, but I also run multiple versions of ubuntu. One as my main install, one to test the next distro [00:56] so i've got my webcam working finally with flash, can anybody help me figure out why the picture is so dark? [00:56] I always wanted to use the latest, never was a fan of the "why upgrade" philosophy [00:56] danny_: it looks fine. now do "sudo apt-get install flashplayer-nonfree" and all should be well. [00:56] /what is that program called that is summoned by command "vi"? [00:56] It is working quite well th0r, but occasionally there are few bugs, like umm, sounds disappear after few hours of use completely until you reboot [00:56] .... its called vi [00:56] a text editor [00:56] ... one that most linux users love but I honestly cannot STAND [00:56] And when the sounds disappear, menus stop working, they don't respond, I have to press the shutdown button for it to reboot [00:56] th0r: I do it with multiple partitions... [00:56] [danbhfive]: Yes , but dont work to . [00:57] danbhfive: well...I have learned that if it is working not to mess with it. Jaunty got me ati drivers that don't work, fusesmb that doesn't work....we won't even start on pulse [00:57] How can i start a service on boot, im setting up a bnc on a server and want to have it start on boot. [00:57] thewanderer_, http://pastebin.com/m54daecd0 === Vercingetorix is now known as Linkadmin [00:57] Mainly because many people of that mentality refuse to update windows either [00:57] and seriously, thats just stupid, refusing to apply security updates in case it breaks something [00:57] Who are you talking to Cyber? [00:58] I'm reading guides on setting up wireless, and they keep referring to "System > Administration > Networking" (which I don't have) and "Enable roaming mode" (which I can't find in System > Admin > Network Tools, nor in Preferences > Network Connections), I'm using jaunty, has this been moved? [00:58] mattgyver: write an init script. start with /etc/init.d/skeleton [00:58] th0r and skibiliano [00:58] Cyber_Akuma: yeah, but windows is different than ubuntu. th0r does have some valid points [00:58] I kow [00:58] danny_: I meant flashplugin-nonfree . It is already late ;P [00:58] 8.10 to 9.04 is more like 2000 to xp [00:58] than a SP [00:58] How exactly do you update 8.04 to 9.04? [00:58] Cyber_Akuma: I never mentioned security updates...those are a separate issue from upgrading a release [00:58] thewanderer_ by doing so will that always cause it to run as root, or must you explicitly run it as sudo for that to happen? [00:58] Do you need a blank CD [00:58] BugsCrash: what was your question? I didnt follow [00:58] or something [00:59] just saying th0r, that many people I met who say that also refuse to update windows or anything XD [00:59] !upgrade | skibiliano [00:59] skibiliano: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [00:59] how do i get the manual for vi and not vim? [00:59] Cyber_Akuma: 8.04 to 9.04 is more like XP to Vista...and we know how well that worked out [00:59] funcky1: vi is an alias for vim in Ubuntu I believe. [00:59] I honestly prefer nano to vi, I feel its a lot more logical [00:59] !offtopic | Cyber_Akuma [00:59] Cyber_Akuma: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [00:59] actually you know what. someone just tell me how to save a file in vi please! [00:59] mattgyver: it will be forked from init, so it will run as root. You should either instruct the program to drop privileges or do that via sudo. [01:00] ummm, vi and nano are linux text editors [01:00] thats not off topic [01:00] funcky1: ":h" or something like that to view the help [01:00] funcky1: escape from insert mode (press Escalpe), then type :w [01:00] skibiliano: anyway...if you want to upgrade to 9.04 you might want to consider doing a fresh install, sometimes the upgrade doesn't go so well [01:00] thewanderer_, ok it worked [01:00] thewanderer_, thanks I will look into that [01:00] Cyber_Akuma: This isn't a discussion channel, but #ubuntu-offtopic is. [01:00] thewanderer_, thanks. u have any idea y the acetone install isnt working? [01:01] Well, nobody would answer my swap question >.< [01:01] where is "enable roaming mode" for wireless in jaunty? [01:01] danny_: that'd be difficult to guess. have you got any logs of the install attempt? [01:01] hi all [01:01] Cyber_Akuma: You might need to ask it again, I don't even see it in the past 20 of your lines. [01:02] when i try to close the terminal window it keeps telling me "closing this terminal window will kill it!" [01:02] if i have an ubuntu installation taking up the whole disk, can I resize it so that i can install windows? [01:02] funcky1: exit vim with :q [01:02] funcky1: you need to exit the running programs first [01:02] i forget if ext3 can be shrunk [01:02] egc: is the data or just the partition taking up the whole disk? [01:02] ive resized ext3 partitions before [01:02] is it worthwhile to add noatime to fstab? [01:02] I am going to go with the progressive updating, thanks for all the help, Ubuntu rules [01:02] Cyber_Akuma: just the partition [01:03] i dont have too much data [01:03] you should be able to then [01:03] thanks :o) [01:03] is there a way to make my wireless card stronger [01:03] Cyber_Akuma: great, thanks === uknow_ is now known as uknow [01:03] hvgotcodes: you can live happily with relatime, and on laptops it is pretty desirable [01:03] uknow_: not impossible but hard to do with software, especially unofficial, usually its done by modifying the antenna [01:03] ill use a bootable GPartEd [01:03] thewanderer_, hmm it is doing that for my / partition but not for my other partition [01:03] what would be the best tool to adjust video settings for a webcam like brightness and contrast... xawtv isn't working [01:04] relly thinking abought making a pxe oot of my old c610 [01:04] dead hdd [01:04] hvgotcodes: it is generally safe to use relatime for all Linux partitions [01:04] thewanderer_, http://pastebin.com/m7abecdc4 i searched for the 3 newly installed packages mentioned on the bottom and they were all uninstalled [01:04] hvgotcodes: but noatime adds little profit for the casual user [01:04] Hey guys, i am running ubuntu 8.10 on my Asus Eee Top 1602, and was wondering how if anyone could help me out on how to edit the xorg.conf file.. i am a noob so please bare with me [01:04] yeah i moded my other antenna [01:05] danny_: so what happens when you try to install acetoneiso? [01:05] and yeah my internet keep cutting in and out [01:05] thewanderer_, i cannot replace relatime with noatime for / [01:05] ?

[01:06] xubuntu* === redsoxking is now known as redsoxking|AFK [01:06] Cyber_Akuma: ubuntu is way to big to load into ram [01:06] Cyber_Akuma: I remember someone posting a link about that, but I never understood the point. If you have lot's of ram, linux will cache everything [01:06] xubuntu [01:06] Ricochet: n00b is a harsh phrase, meaning someone pretending to know "everything", then complains when his/her way doesn't work. A newb/newbie is one who doesn't have experience, but recognizes that, and asks for help. [01:06] hvgotcodes: you can do it, but it usually means no big performance improvement... you can safely try and see how it works for you. [01:07] That didn't take long [01:07] not ubuntu [01:07] I got an error [01:07] Cyber_Akuma: any dirretiv all to big [01:07] http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/edgy/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz nouto ei onnistunut 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.88.140 80] [01:07] thewanderer_, thanx [01:07] Oh BTW, my swap question [01:07] I am using finnish version but it means it couldn't retrieve that [01:07] Cyber_Akuma: your looking at 2gb into ram [01:07] I am trying to update from 8.04 Hardy LDS to 8.10 Intrepid [01:08] anyone know how to create playlists in mpd? the webui seems to be working now, not sure why. [01:08] I just switched my laptop to Ubuntu (9.04) and whenever I try to suspend it it kernel panics. There's nothing in the logs. This happens both on the original kernel and on 2.6.31. Any ideas? [01:08] uknow_: not really [01:08] I have two linux operating systems, and I created tow swap partitions for them, how can I set it so each distro only uses it's own partition? [01:08] and they don't touch each other's? [01:08] skibiliano: why are you trying to use the edgy archive...I thought you said you had 8.04 [01:08] OttifantSir: haha sorry, then I am a newbie.. trust me, i dont know much about this stuff at all.. so i pass as a newbie [01:08] I have ubuntu and opensuse installed [01:08] skibiliano: but the error you posted was for an edgy repo [01:08] The heck? [01:08] Cyber_Akuma: they should share the same swap point you dont need 2 [01:08] The system itself took those [01:08] how do you untar file that has been tar with -z option (compressed)? [01:08] gogeta: ubuntu suspends to the swap partition [01:08] Cyber_Akuma: see /etc/fstab, if it's not listed in there, then see /etc/init.d/ - look for swapon [01:08] gogeta: unless he is hibernating... [01:08] it would be a mess [01:08] true [01:09] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IntrepidUpgrades I used that site's instructions [01:09] and it found the 8.10 as intented [01:09] /etc/fstab is a file? [01:09] Maleko: the same way, just with tar xzf $FILENAME [01:09] how would I understand it? [01:09] but when I tried to update it, at the 3rd phase or something, it threw that error [01:09] Cyber_Akuma: man 5 fstab [01:09] Cyber_Akuma: i would just adjust the swap mount point to the other [01:09] skibiliano: whats the error? [01:09] ........ wait, so there isn't an APP called fstab? [01:10] it's finnish but [01:10] I have to say, this really clears up a lot of confusion then [01:10] W:Tiedoston http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/edgy/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz nouto ei onnistunut 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.88.140 80] [01:10] lots of people told me about it, I thought it was a commandline app, not a config file [01:10] Cyber_Akuma: it should be in fstab [01:10] File (The url) retrieval did not succeed [01:11] So can anyone help me edit xorg.conf? what is the terminal command? [01:11] eg change /dev/sa1 swap to /dev/sda2 swpa [01:11] swap [01:11] Cyber_Akuma: well, if its listed in fstab, its as simple as commenting out the line that is point to the swap you don't want to be enabled [01:11] Ricochet: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf === a1g is now known as x314 [01:11] I see [01:11] or howvere it looks on your system [01:11] Cyber_Akuma: fstab (as I understand it) means FileSystemTable. A kind of billboard on how the filesystems connect to eachother and the OS. It's a file, more like a script actually, not an application. [01:11] and I would do the same in the opensuse partoton's fstab file? [01:11] thewanderer: isnt it gedit or something like that? [01:11] No wait, It stopped at second phase [01:11] Cyber_Akuma: ya [01:11] \q [01:11] it returned the system to the phase before I tried to update [01:11] leave [01:11] \leave [01:11] And can I use fstab to automount other partitions? like my Vista partition? [01:11] And I am back to square one [01:11] thewanderer_, all is well. thank u very much [01:12] Cyber_Akuma: as long as it points to the other then you whont need to [01:12] Ricochet: you can do that from the command line, from the GUI or anything, it's your choice === x314 is now known as alexg [01:12] thewanderer_, this all started when i tried to fix choppy 5.1 on vlc player === alexg is now known as alexg_ [01:12] Cyber_Akuma: linux normaly uses the first it finds [01:12] thewanderer_: awesome thank you! [01:12] !fstab | Cyber_Akuma [01:12] Cyber_Akuma: 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 === alexg_ is now known as x314 [01:13] gogeta: I always preferred telling my systems to do or not do something instead of let them figure out whgat is best..... because they never do it correctly... === x314 is now known as alexg [01:13] which is why I specifically want to tell them "use this, DON'T use this" [01:13] danny_: I see... it's quite unwise to run an alpha version of software unless you know to hose the system. I would look into apt-pinning to stay with the stable version of Ubuntu. [01:13] thewanderer_: is there a way i can put it into a text file and edit it? [01:14] is there a gnome menubar applet that simply displays the result of an arbitrary terminal command? [01:14] Well? does anyone know what is causing the 404 error while trying to update from 8.04 to 8.10? === alexg is now known as x314 [01:14] ok first i have vista and ubuntu two HD's one with vista the other with ubuntu on ubuntu i can see the windows files and hard drive but on windows i cant see the harddrive with linux === Odin is now known as Guest61403 [01:15] I just switched my laptop to Ubuntu (9.04) and whenever I try to suspend it it kernel panics. There's nothing in the logs. This happens both on the original kernel and on 2.6.31. Any ideas? [01:15] Ricochet: you can basically open gedit as root. try "gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf" in the command line. [01:15] skibiliano: can you describe the error in more detaul? [01:15] thewanderer_: you are a life saver === Guest61403 is now known as th0r [01:15] uknow: You need ext3-drivers for Windows to see the contents of a linux-partition/-drive [01:15] BacTalan: have you tried a clean install? If so, you should certainly file a bug [01:15] ohh ok [01:15] danbhfive: I did a clean install yesterday, and it's had it since then. [01:16] uknow: if you used a linux format for the ubuntu drive windows won't be able to reaad it [01:16] colloguy: I don't know of such an applet, yet you can try and write your own. GTK is not that difficult. find some example applets on the 'net then edit then to fit your needs. [01:16] thewanderer_: now that I have edited it, is there a way to restart the xorg.conf file? to see if my resolution will work now? === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [01:16] nah i used windows to formate the drive i think ntsf i think the common one [01:17] uknow: last time I checked, I could not get vista to see ext drives [01:17] uknow: Another little "feature" from Windows to disencourage new Linux-users. A google should give you the drivers needed at the top of the search. [01:17] but i still cant see the hard drive from windows [01:17] Tell me how to explain it in more detail: here's a small recap, I try to update my ubuntu, from 8.04 to 8.10, using the desktop way of ubuntu downloading the update itself. (Page with the instructions: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IntrepidUpgrades ) It does everything according to that, but suddenly it shows an error that http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/edgy/main/binary-i386/Packages.g [01:17] z retrieval did not succeed, 404 Not Found (IP: 91.189.88.140 80) [01:17] how do i enable ssh login? [01:17] ohh ok [01:17] Then it cancels the updating procedure, and I am back to square one with 8.04 [01:17] Ricochet: the simplest way is just rebooting your computer. [01:17] danbhfive: I told him twice....look at the repo in the error message...he is trying to fetch an intrepid update from an edgy repo [01:18] I did not choose the sites it picks, the ubuntu said it downloaded a new set of packets to get them from [01:18] skibiliano: erm, you are trying to grab from an archive from a wrong repository [01:18] And how do I fix that? [01:18] th0r: ya [01:18] renic: you install openssh-server. that should be everything. [01:18] skibiliano: whats lsb_release -a say? [01:19] skibiliano: you may find many instances of that depending on what pkgs you have and what pkgs were dropped from 8.10; i had many, but just pushed on with the upgrade then, after fighting with nvidia driver issues, upgraded straight to 9.04 [01:19] okay hold on [01:19] No LSB modules are available. [01:19] Distributor ID: Ubuntu [01:19] Description: Ubuntu 8.04.3 LTS [01:19] Release: 8.04 [01:19] Codename: hardy [01:19] skibiliano: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:19] skibiliano: ok, thats enough [01:20] thewanderer_, meaning i can downgrade to a stable version? [01:20] danny_: I think you need to reinstall to do that [01:20] thewanderer: thanks - couldn't find anything in the gui tool. [01:20] danny_: if you still need the alpha repositories, you should consider using apt-pinning. [01:20] thewanderer_: Ahh now i cant see anything? is there a way to revert back? so i can at least see my screen? I need some serious help.. i just want to get this darn thing working [01:21] thewanderer_, ok [01:21] is there a gnome menu applet that simply displays the result of a terminal command? :P [01:21] Ricochet: switch to vt1 (Ctrl+Alt+F1), login and run "sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf", revert your changes then run "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart" [01:22] colloguy: I know there's a Screenlet that will do it, but I don't know of a menu applet that would. [01:22] is there any driver made for this webcam 17a1:0118 ? [01:22] so i'm wondering what's slowing down graphics, like screensavers. i've got plenty of ram, what gives? [01:23] z [01:23] ottifantSir: oh yes, the terminal screenlet in a 'while true, wait, run' loop [01:23] speed at which CPU can deliver data to id [01:23] hello [01:23] thewanderer_: i dont remember all of the changes, i am trying to follow some tutorial as to how to get my computer to run ubuntu properly and its just not working.. so i copied and pasted what they told me to [01:23] it* [01:23] thewanderer_: is there a way to revert back to a default? [01:24] Ricochet: reinstall [01:24] anyone ever saw a crashed irssi? [01:24] :( [01:24] nafta: i did [01:24] is there any driver made for this webcam 17a1:0118 ? [01:24] Windows must due london it the capital of great brittan [01:24] Ricochet: you can get a fresh xorg.conf file and start from that [01:24] jacekowski: so reinstall the whole operating system because of xorg.conf? seems like a bit of a pain [01:25] Ricochet: if you are running jaunty, you should be able to remove xorg.conf, ie, rename it with mv [01:25] Ricochet: i was thinking that you have bigger problem [01:25] Ricochet: X -configure [01:25] !xconfig | Ricochet [01:25] Ricochet: To reconfigure your X server, open a console and type « sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg » - To configure only the driver and resolution, type « sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh » - See also !FixRes [01:26] colloguy: I honestly don't know if you were being sarcastic there. I offered a suggestion, a *possible* solution to your problem. If that's not what you want, try going to www.gnome-look.org or www.gnome.org and look around [01:26] hey, I'm having issues with getting Banshee to work, can someone help me out? [01:26] !wontwork [01:26] Sorry, I don't know anything about wontwork [01:27] err [01:27] ubottu: do i want the frame buffer? [01:27] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [01:27] I think I am going away for some sleep, Is my problem something that cannot be resolved in few minutes? [01:27] Ricochet: I think you should answer "no". === k is now known as grrr [01:27] skibiliano: well, I don't understand why its trying edgy files, but I can take a look at your sources if you like. [01:28] it's just really strange that there is a lot less users with problems on ##windows channel than here [01:28] Yeah sure danbhfive [01:28] !lnw | jacekowski [01:28] jacekowski: Want to know the differences between Windows and Linux? This guide, called "Linux is Not Windows" is a pretty good read -- http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm [01:28] jacekowski: and typically windows users are not as resourceful [01:28] skibiliano: From what I have read on your problem, you need to clean up your repos/sources.list before attempting to do what you want. It seems you have repos for an older version of Ubuntu than you currently have installed, and that's your problem. [01:29] AWESOME! I CAN SEE IT AGAIN!! [01:29] Thanks guys! [01:29] And how is that possible? I think I tampered with the sources one time earlier [01:29] But it was another problem [01:29] because of outdated repositery it used [01:29] I had to add /archive/ to one part of it [01:29] Ricochet: just in case, always save a copy of xorg.conf before making changes [01:29] or something === MobileMyles6o7 is now known as TwoToneSpirit [01:30] thewanderer_: how do i do that? [01:30] kebomix; you might look here [01:30] When I launch banshee, the tray icon pops up but nothing else. No window in GNOME-Do and when I click the tray icon to launch the window, the window comes up but everything inside the window decoration is grey [01:30] platius: look where :D [01:30] kebomix; http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-uvc-devel@lists.berlios.de/msg03881.html here [01:30] kebomix; oops [01:30] Does anyone have an Asus Eee Top who got ubuntu working properly who would be willing to help this newbie out? I am having so much trouble with this darn thing. [01:31] Where does nautilus-connect server mount Shares? [01:31] GParted is showing one of my swap partitions as actually having a label, is there any way to change this? [01:31] is there an irc client with especially good notifications (I want to be able to pop up balloons based on incoming messages (regexp matching would be sweet))? [01:31] skibiliano: just pastebin your whole /etc/apt/sources.list file [01:31] May I ask you how? [01:31] Cyber_Akuma: filesystems have lavels, not partitions. You would need to recreate your swap fs. [01:31] I rarely use ubuntu other than on vacations [01:31] I had a samba share sharing a folder across my network. it stopped working after i networked my printer. now my printer works over the network, but no more folder share. any ideas? [01:32] skibiliano: If your sources.list is messed up, I don't know if I'd be doing you a disservice by giving you a copy of one, and then tell you where to put it. It might be more you need to do than just that. Try asking if that's okay. And give your version of Ubuntu so people can put in the correct file. === Odin is now known as Guest37068 [01:33] Ottifantsir, as I mentioned some pages back, acocording to lsb_release -a, my version is 8.04.3 [01:33] k es esto?? [01:33] It has the label of a PREVIOUs partition that I deleted [01:33] in another os === Guest37068 is now known as th0r [01:34] skibiliano: can you: sudo apt-get install pastebinit ? [01:34] platius: can we talk in private ? [01:34] skibiliano: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=783577 - any help? [01:34] http://paste.ubuntu.com/222308/ [01:35] there's my sources [01:35] Cyber_Akuma, then you _might_ want to delete the partition and set it up again. Swap partitions having labels are not something to be afraid of, though... [01:35] also, can I renumber the sda# labels? [01:35] When I launch banshee, the tray icon pops up but nothing else. No window in GNOME-Do and when I click the tray icon to launch the window, the window comes up but everything inside the window decoration is grey [01:35] Well, its identifying itself as a stiorage partition, its just weird [01:35] XD [01:35] Can someone help walk me through this process http://www.eeepc.it/guida-installare-ubuntu-su-asus-eee-top-1602/ ? [01:35] because that was the partition I delted, a storage partition [01:35] I've a weird problem with samba on 9.04-amd64 [01:35] skibiliano: comment out 51 and delete 50, then give it a try [01:35] http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=it&u=http://www.eeepc.it/guida-installare-ubuntu-su-asus-eee-top-1602/&ei=trtjSvKiCMK3lAeIppWECg&sa=X&oi=translate&resnum=1&ct=result&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dhttp://www.eeepc.it/guida-installare-ubuntu-su-asus-eee-top-1602/%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dsafari%26rls%3Den-us [01:36] thats the translated version [01:36] Ricochet: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:36] ill try deleting and recreating them [01:36] Cyber_Akuma: /dev/sda* are all partitions, not only storage partitions, so they always include swap. === redsoxking|AFK is now known as redsoxking [01:36] shares of my windows partitions don't seem to show up on OS X 10.5, but show up elsewhere [01:36] not sure if its Ubuntu or OS X [01:36] Danbhfive, How exactly do I save it then? [01:36] I had a samba share sharing a folder across my network. it stopped working after i networked my printer. now my printer works over the network, but no more folder share. any ideas? [01:36] skibiliano: It may seem like you might have a proper sources.list on your machine in: /usr/share/ubuntu-docs/ubuntu/sample/sources.list Where it should be put, I don't know. And check that it says hardy in it if you have it. [01:37] * VCoolio hears radio when volume turned all down :p [01:37] Danbhfive, It says I don't have the right permissions [01:37] skibiliano: how are you editing it? you could use: gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [01:37] Thank you so much [01:38] Cyber_Akuma: be careful when handling partitions though, as they are not so easily recoverable... and you'd better not work with currently used swap partitions. [01:38] I recreated them [01:38] but just to eb safe I can delete them and recreate them [01:38] I AM using gparted to modify a windows partition just now..... but I performed a backup so its ok if its corrupted [01:39] the hdd is being accessed by usb so it isn't even the system's hdd [01:39] hi all, I am about to buy an Aspire One, do I need to use a specially compiled ubuntu, or will stock x86 ubuntu install on it? [01:39] Okay, attempting to update [01:39] b0nn: stock ubuntu should work, but NBR is much better imo on it [01:40] Cyber_Akuma: in any case, swap partitions having labels are no danger at all. [01:40] So does anyone want to help me out? [01:40] kellyh: thanks, is the install done from a USB stick? [01:40] Ricochet: whats the problem you are having? I have a eee [01:40] does anyone know id the zd1211b is a RAlink-bsed chip? [01:40] if so, how big a stick do I need? [01:40] It's downloading new sources [01:41] b0nn: yes, min. 1Gb === _Apple_ is now known as _MrsApple_ [01:41] B0nn: about as big as a thigh;-) [01:41] thewanderer_: I know, its just weird thats all, why would it give it the label of a deleted partition? [01:41] danbhfive: perfect! I have the asus eee top and its giving me troubles.. I posted a link above and its a walk through as to how to get it to work, but i am new at this and apparently failing so I needed some help [01:41] I had a samba share sharing a folder across my network. it stopped working after i networked my printer. now my printer works over the network, but no more folder share. any help will be greatly appreciated. [01:41] How can it even BE labeled? [01:42] awesome, thanks [01:42] Cyber_Akuma: via mkswap -L flag (see man 8 mkswap) [01:42] marks256, is it possible that you changed the workgroup in /etc/samba/smb.conf? [01:42] hmmmm [01:42] Maybe it would be useful then [01:42] mattgyver, nope workgroup has stayed the same. [01:42] using mkswap to lavel them as the ubuntu and opensuse swap partition [01:42] label* === ubuntu is now known as Saik [01:43] does anyone know id the zd1211b is a RAlink-bsed chip? [01:43] btw, I know what man is, but whats with the numbers?

[01:43] man 5, man 8 [01:43] Cyber_Akuma: man man explains it. [01:43] I am gonna press cancel and do it tomorrow, but it seems to be working, Thanks danbhfive [01:43] skibiliano: great! take care [01:43] mattgyver, i set up the share by right clicking on the folder and doing sharing options though... where is the config file for that? [01:44] lol, this man stuff is getting out of hand [01:44] danbhfive: well the resolution is off, the touch screen doesnt work, the wifi doesnt, and i would love to get all of those things working.. and that page shows how [01:44] does anyone know id the zd1211b is a RAlink-bsed chip? [01:44] danbhfive: but apparently i am messing it up somewhere along the line [01:44] Ricochet: but you arent sure where I take it [01:44] (can't use the terminal atm because its doing something) do I need to manually enter the size and location of the partition I want to make with mkswap? [01:45] Ricochet: unfortunately, the translate isnt working for me [01:45] as in the strting and ending sectors or whatever? [01:45] danbhfive: can you copy and paste the top one into google and press "Translate Page" [01:45] Cyber_Akuma: options specified in [braces] are optional [01:46] danbhfive: I think if we can take it from the beginning, that would be splendid [01:46] marks256, im not sure, it looks like they are all handled by the package nautilus-share [01:46] Cyber_Akuma: in your case, mkswap -L "My_Label" /dev/my_partition should suffice. [01:46] thewanderer_: Cyber_Akuma: Yup, sometimes I wish there were man-pages for man:-D [01:46] mattgyver, ok i'll look into that and see if there are any config files that may have been altered [01:46] OttifantSir: umm, man man [01:47] does anyone know id the zd1211b is a RAlink-bsed chip? [01:47] * jrib returns to his bottle now [01:47] So, why should I use mkswap over GParted for making swap partitions? [01:47] jrib, I didn't know you had a bottle? [01:47] Ricochet: well, how does your xorg.conf look? [01:47] marks256, looks like they are added to samba @ /var/lib/samba/usershares [01:48] Or do yo mean just to label them [01:48] danbhfive: well I just edited it and reverted it back.. so right now its the standard [01:48] Saik: I granted OttifantSir's wish [01:48] Cyber_Akuma: mkswap is what GParted uses 'under the hood' [01:48] danbhfive: The default that is [01:48] jrib: Thanks! Never even thought of it. Should be prominently displayed somewhere. [01:48] jrib; ah.. lol [01:48] how do you get a message like jrib returns to his bottle now? [01:48] OttifantSir: you know about « man intro »? [01:48] I see [01:48] Ricochet: are you on 8.10? or 9.04? [01:48] richardcavell: /me foo [01:49] * richardcavell is testing [01:49] Cyber_Akuma: that's how it's usually done in Linux. GUI stuff might be fancy, but it allows for less control and does have bugs sometimes... === jon is now known as Guest58031 [01:49] So can I make the swap partition in gparted then label it with mkswap? [01:49] jrib: thanks [01:49] mattgyver, yep they are there. wonder why they don't show on the network... [01:49] Cyber_Akuma: mkswap *makes* the swap partition, so that would be pointless. [01:49] I understand thewanderer_, but a gui can really help make sense out of something complicated [01:49] marks256, dont know, can you access them from there? [01:49] jrib; I never grant wishes, I like to torment people P [01:49] case in point: when the hdd has 7 partitions [01:49] jrib: I hope you are a djinn of gentle nature then, and not a djinn from the stories of the old Arabian tales. And no, I didn't know about that. Nowhere in close to four years with Linux have I seen that info. [01:49] Saik: :o [01:49] mattgyver, what do you mean? [01:49] it was a LOT easier to tell what it was liek with a gui than with a bunch of numbers [01:49] danbhfive: 8.10 [01:50] marks256, can you view the contents from within those folders? [01:50] And this is coming from someone who frequently pulls up the command shell in windows [01:50] Hi, I am trying to get a Logitech Quickcam Pro 9000 working, and after some struggles have finally gotten cheese to see it. But now the frame rate is about 5. The cheese support says that I should change between xvimagesink and ximagesink - how in the world do I do that? [01:50] Cyber_Akuma: the GUI only operates on /dev/sd* or whatever the partitions are called [01:50] Ricochet: ok, set your xorg.conf, and install that .deb file [01:50] does anybody know how to get windows vista back.i did downlound ubuntu linux on my vista os system [01:50] mattgyver, yes. the weird thing is, print$ doesn't even show up on the network... it is like my system has vanished, yet i can still use the print share? [01:50] Cyber_Akuma: so figuring out where your partition devices are is the very first thing to do. [01:50] marks256, have you restarted since this all has started happening? [01:50] Yeah, I need to renumber them too, since they are really out of order now, its confusing [01:51] danbhfive: how do i install an xorg.conf and put it in? or should i edit the xorg.conf? [01:51] mattgyver, yes. it stopped working a few weeks ago when i networked my printer [01:51] Cyber_Akuma: you can reference partitions by Linux numbers, UUID or labels. [01:51] Guest58031, did you overwrite vista? [01:51] mattgyver, i've just been putting my videos on a jump drive, but i'm tired of that and want my share back :) [01:51] i think so [01:51] thewanderer_: But when mounted, they appear on your desktop as their labels, which is why I like to label them [01:51] Ricochet: well, save both the xorg.conf and the .deb file to your desktop [01:51] i am not sure [01:52] i did make ubuntu linux my new os [01:52] danbhfive: done [01:52] As for laveling my swap partitions, thats just so I can tell which one I assigned to ubuntu and to opensuse === _Apple_ is now known as _MrsApple_ [01:53] Do I need to label ym swap partition as I make it with mkswap, or can I make it with gparted then label ti with mkswap? [01:53] marks256, unfortunately im not too sure why thats happening to you [01:53] Cyber_Akuma: you need to label it at creation time, that is, it needs to be labeled with mkswap (unless GParted supports swap labels, I don't know of such a fact). === x314 is now known as a1g [01:54] Ricochet: on a terminal: cd ~/Desktop && sudo cp xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf && sudo dpkg -i libdrm2_2.4.4-1build1_i386.deb [01:54] ok [01:54] mattgyver, darn :( well thanks for the help anyway :) [01:54] But I can label ext4 partitions with gparted right? or no? [01:54] jrib: I';m a mean guy, you should know that by now :P [01:54] does anyone know id the zd1211b is a RAlink-bsed chip? [01:54] marks256, np, if i think of something else ill let you know [01:55] Cyber_Akuma: I rarely look into GParted, so I have no idea. I always create my partitions with mkfs, and mk* programs. [01:55] Saik: zd1211b is an Atheros chip. [01:55] mattgyver, ok thanks. if i find the solution i'll be sure to let you know [01:55] I tried them, didnt like them, how I had to manually count everyything to know where the partitions are and where to make them [01:55] Hello. I just put Ubuntu on my new HP Mini netbook. I was using the internet wirelessly today at my friends house. But it wont work here at my place [01:55] yeah im back and think i broke my computer [01:55] it says its connected, but i can't get any internet [01:55] :( [01:56] I like the commandline over a gui for many things, but hdd matinence is not one of them, I find having a graphical representation much more convinent [01:56] Hello; I'm on Kubuntu Jaunty, and am trying to fix some OpenGL versioning issues with a Radeon X1950 card [01:56] anyway [01:56] thewanderer_, do you know if there's a win 7 driver for it? [01:56] so can I use any of these commandline tools to just label a partition? [01:56] not create one? [01:56] !label | Cyber_Akuma [01:56] Cyber_Akuma: To rename the labels of your partitions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RenameUSBDrive. [01:56] #ubuntu-fr [01:57] Saik: better go ask in a win7-specific room [01:57] glxheads reports that the GL_VENDOR is DRI R300, though the card is R580! [01:57] "Nautilus currently does not support renaming partitions, but Gnome's Partition Editor (GParted) does." [01:57] very well [01:57] Can anyone please recommend an easy to use video editor with an easy way of adding subtitles? [01:57] thewanderer_, you know of one? [01:57] so mkswap to label ym sap partitions at creation and gparted to labvel my ext4 partitions [01:57] anybody know what would cause a machine to stop showing up in network? [01:57] hi i created a a partition for a user´s backup files during install /home/user/archive now i am adding the user and it wont let me do it because the directory /home/user exists . . . how can i fix? [01:57] Hello [01:57] Saik: not really. just look around. [01:57] I'm really desperately seeking help on this one. [01:58] user01: delete the directory or learn how to use useradd :) [01:58] danbhfive: im not sure if it did it or not.. but i think so... [01:58] user01: or rename the directory and move it back instead of delete [01:58] I need help, i just got the newest server edition, and i sudo apt-get install untuntu-desktop doesnt work [01:58] Nitrousoxide: pastebin the output you get [01:58] Ricochet: well, no errors I think means its all good [01:58] What [01:58] thx [01:58] !pastebin | Nitrousoxide [01:58] Nitrousoxide: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic [01:58] xcdfgkjhgcv: AviDemux is very easy to use and has the possibility of adding subtitles with a filter during encoding. [01:58] Yes i know what pastebin is [01:58] Ricochet: but, you know, 9.04 might work better by default [01:59] danbhfive: yeah, no error messages so I suppose we're in business [01:59] Ricochet: you may want to make an extra partition, and just try 9.04 [01:59] But its on a different computer, how am i meant to get it? [01:59] Type it out? [01:59] OttifantSir: Adding subtitles to avidemux is too complicated. [01:59] Nitrousoxide: does the other computer not have internet access? [01:59] OttifantSir: Ubuntu is Linux for human beings. [01:59] danbhfive: yeah the walkthrough was in 8.10 so i figured it would work better that way then i can just upgrade right? [01:59] Yes it does, but its on server, Just server, so how am i meant to upload it? [02:00] Nitrousoxide: you may use pastebinit [02:00] danbhfive: so whats our next move? [02:00] Is there any way to make keyboard macros for the gnome terminal so that it can just quickly paste a command in for me? [02:00] jumbers: are aliases not sufficient? [02:00] Ricochet: yes, thats true. You should follow that walkthrough only on 8.10. That was correct. BUT, you are just installing drivers. each release has newer drivers. So, 9.04 might work by default [02:00] xcdfgkjhgcv: What do you mean it's too difficult to do in AviDemux? To write subtitles for a video? AviDemux isn't for that. I know there are stand-alone programs for that, then you can use AviDemux to hardcode them to the video. [02:01] jrib: I just figured it would be handy to have keyboard shortcuts [02:01] how do I list all dev/*da* partions in terminal? [02:01] im trying to get it to work, i used sudo apt-get install unbuntu-desktop, But that froze on 0%, i tried sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop, but that just did nt do anything, ok ill paste bin it, if i can [02:01] OttifantSir: Surely it'd be easier for a video editor to include such a feature? I want a very simple video editor. [02:01] is there a way to perform year to year compression in gnucash? [02:01] jumbers: don't know. You could rig something up with xbindkeys I guess [02:02] !info xbindkeys [02:02] xbindkeys (source: xbindkeys): Associate a combination of keys or mouse buttons with a shell command. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.8.2-1 (jaunty), package size 34 kB, installed size 160 kB [02:02] Saik: cat /proc/partitions | egrep ".*da.*" [02:02] Saik: wouldn't fdisk -l | grep da do the trick? [02:02] !pastebinit | Nitrousoxide [02:02] Nitrousoxide: pastebinit is the command-line equivelent of !pastebin . Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output. Simple usage: command-name | pastebinit [02:02] jrib: That looks like it might be what I need actually [02:02] danbhfive: I tried to install it and when i tried this walk through some things didnt work.. but i suppose i havent had the best of luck on this already.. so thats why i was thinking to go with the walk through then upgrade.. but i could have been wrong [02:02] Ahk [02:03] Thanks [02:03] ok i installed a driver packege for my video card but when i restrted my monitor did not work it said format not supported or something like that [02:03] im useing ubuntu [02:03] I'm off to get some sleep. [02:03] in terminal, 'screen' mode, there are some numbers bottom right about cpu and memory; the first one gives me "9!"; what's that? [02:03] i just wanted to know can i roll back my video draiver [02:04] Perhaps could someone direct me to where I can find why my glxheads reports a supported OpenGL version of 1.3 on a card that has 2.0 capabilities? [02:04] xcdfgkjhgcv: Programs become more complex with time, but usually developers think of a program that does what they want, and the (maybe old) Linux philosophy is that you make a program to do ONE function and do that extremely well. [02:04] Is there any way to prevent Ubuntu from installing GRUB? [02:04] Hi, I need some help uninstalling ubuntu and restoring space to my windows xp install. Can anyone help me? [02:04] OttifantSir: Well that's a pants philosophy. Firefox for example does lots of things and is highly praised for it. [02:05] xcdfgkjhgcv, Have you tried kdenlive? [02:05] OttifantSir: Streaming video, downloading files, browsing the web, etc. [02:05] quadx: try ##windows [02:05] khelvan: No, because I don't want to download all the KDE libraries. [02:05] is there a way to roll back drivers on ubuntu [02:05] Odd. pastebinit doesnt work [02:05] danbhfive: so what do we do next? do i need a thumb drive for this next bit? [02:05] Nitrousoxide: what happens? [02:05] One sec [02:05] uknown: why do you want to do that? [02:05] Ricochet: have you tried 9.04 before? [02:06] danbhfive: yes [02:06] xcdfgkjhgcv, I think kdenlive will do what you are looking for. To me, downloading KDE libraries is a small price to pay for a program that does what you want. [02:06] khelvan: I will only use the bandwidth if I know for certain it will do what I want it to do. [02:06] jrib: He installed one that doesn't support his hardware. He wants to use the previous one. (That's all I know based on his questions earlier) [02:06] Ricochet: and it didnt work... well, I have to go I'm afraid [02:06] khelvan: Bandwidth and limited SSD space. :( [02:06] -bash !pastebinit event not found [02:06] ._. Being totally ignored sucks. [02:06] danbhfive: it was giving me the same problems that 8.10 so i went with 8.10 to work through the walk through [02:06] thx guys :) I am lacking in shell commands anymore lol [02:06] Nitrousoxide: sudo apt-get install pastebinit [02:06] lata guys [02:06] danbhfive: oh ok! well i will see what i can do now [02:06] khelvan: How easy is it to add/edit subtitles? [02:06] danbhfive: thanks [02:06] how can I allow multiple connections (wired (eth0) and wireless (wlan0)) using Networkmanager? any help pls [02:06] Ricochet: cool, gl! [02:06] xcdfgkjhgcv, kdenlive gives you multiple video tracks, one of which you can set up as a title track and have it do/say what you want. [02:07] xcdfgkjhgcv: This is getting offtopic, and it is also a highly volatile discussion, so if you wish it to coninue, PM me [02:07] creeed: It should do it for you automatically. Does it not? [02:07] xcdfgkjhgcv, unlimited number of tracks, that is. It is a little bit like Sony Vegas, without as many plugins. If you're familiar with Vegas... [02:07] edbian, it does but only one connection is available! [02:07] My computer shows up on the network, but there are no shares in it. why doesn't it show my shares? [02:07] khelvan: No. [02:08] im trying to get ebox to work...installed all packages just fine but when i try to start ebox it says "failed to contact configuration server.............Not Running within and active session) at /usr/share/perl5/EBox/GConfModule.pm line 50. [02:08] OttifantSir: No thanks. [02:08] creeed: Do you mean only 1 network card shows up? [02:08] have no idea where to go from that [02:08] Ok, i installed it but it didnt work [02:08] dame thing [02:08] is there a way to see the original path of items in my "Trash" [02:08] Is there a way to share a single workspace? In other words, let's say I have four workspaces. I'd like for the leftmost one to be shared with another computer's rightmost one. Can this be done? Or is VNC the closest thing? [02:08] same*, it just errors out saying that it cant find it [02:08] i can only see the filename [02:08] What now? [02:09] mattgyver, my system shows up on network now, but when i open it, there are no items in there. not even $print [02:09] edbian, no both od them are connected and I get throught nm-applet information about the 2 connections, but I only one works really! [02:09] Hey guys, I really really need some help here.. I have been trying to get this darn walk through to work and its just giving me all sorts of problems.. I am trying to get ubuntu working on my Asus Eee Top 1602 and i cant for the life of me get this resolution correct.. can anyone help me out? [02:09] I get a segmentation fault immediately after starting firefox-3.5. Is this a known issue? [02:09] khelvan: Okay. I'm downloading it now to give it a try. :) [02:09] xcdfgkjhgcv, well I believe it will do what you want it to do, but I won't guarantee it. I have set up a title track that has text on it, and I'm a newbie video editor. [02:09] marks256, are you on 9.04, i have a similiar issue i believe on my laptop [02:09] TwoToneSpirit: you could try synergy.. its not quite what you want but it will allow you to use one mouse and keyboard across multiple computers [02:09] creeed: What are you doing that proves that only 1 works? [02:09] khelvan: Me too. [02:09] should I make any alias of network device or something like that? [02:09] mattgyver, yes 9.04 [02:09] khelvan: I just need it for a basic school presentation. [02:09] xcdfgkjhgcv, there is a #kdenlive - you can ask them there [02:09] edbian, ping for example! [02:09] khelvan: Okay, thanks. [02:10] mattgyver, did it work at one time on your laptop? [02:10] creeed: One of the addresses doesn't respond? [02:10] xcdfgkjhgcv, sure, good luck [02:10] Paddy_NI: Yeah I like x2x for that. If x2x did exactly what it does + provided an actual view of the desktop, it'd be perfect. I guess what I want is basically just VNC running full screen on one of the laptops.

[02:45] Or even a guide for starters? [02:45] my Network-Manager shows two devices, the first one is my configured wired network connection and a second one Ifupdown(eth0) - can someone tell me what this second device is about? [02:45] <[R]> JoeKerr: you just need to set up samba [02:46] Samba? [02:46] is samba mandatory just to connect ubuntu to a network? [02:46] Oh [02:46] <[R]> JoeKerr: well what do you mean "connect to a windwos network" [02:46] umm... I had to restart my computer, and now it doesn't recognize that my monitor can do more than 680x420... how do I fix this? [02:46] normally i onoly had one device in the Network-Manager ...

[02:48] guys I am trying to add caching capabilities to my apache2 server. I issue a2enmod cache, a2enmod disk_cache but that does not work [02:48] my ubuntu can connect to the internet but it wont detect my wired network [02:48] Hey guys, I REALLY need some help.. i am trying to get my correct screen resolution, wireless working, and my touch screen working on my Asus Eee 1602. I am dying to get this thing online.. people have been able to do it but I can not!! Will someone please take the time to walk me through some of these tutorials? [02:48] When I right click and select empty trash it keeps trying to empty the same 9k files [02:48] jrib: this is wired, i put another PCI ethernet card in, and it didnt work [02:48] i compared the network-manager config file with one on another ubuntu system - they are identical [02:48] <[Dark-Star]> still need some help with getting my video card working properly i have tried the Builtin Hardware driver and now Envyng tried all 4 listed drivers and i still get the some error on startup as befor [02:48] JoeKerr: If you mean you want to be able to use the files on the other machines, you have to use SAMBA all right. Controlling the desktops can be done with a number of programs. I'm partial to Gnome-RDP myself. [02:48] Nitrousoxide: no internet connectivity you mean? [02:48] Hi, I am using jaunty with the latest gnome-do from this ppa: https://launchpad.net/~do-core/+archive/ppa , it works well but I can't make it start at startup. I stuck the "start at staup" option in "gnome do preferences", I tried to add it manually in the "application on statup" thing. But No way to make it working. [02:49] <[R]> JoeKerr: what do you mean "detect" [02:49] gbear142751: are you in a root nautilus window? [02:49] Any suggestion PLEASE? [02:49] jrib: Lisen ill explain more, see i took the HD out of the machine, and installed it on a different machne [02:49] r3l1c: no [02:49] jrib: would that effect it [02:49] my xp machines cannot even see the ubuntu machine in the network [02:49] jrib: and yes, Both cards, no connectivity [02:49] <[R]> JoeKerr: that's samba [02:49] and from what i have read about connecting ubuntu to a windows xp network...i cannot find where you enter the IP addresses [02:49] I dont even know where to find the network manager under dsl ... [02:49] r3l1c: moving and resizing several partitions [02:50] Cyber_Akuma: takes for ever [02:50] thiblahute : So you are having trouble starting gnome-do [02:50] its taking like over half an hour just to move a 20gig partion [02:50] I dont want to see it hit the 300gb one [02:50] <[R]> JoeKerr: once you propelry set up samba... it'll show up in the list [02:50] gbear142751: go into the home folder hit ctrl+h [02:50] Blizzerand Nop, I am having troubles to get it start at startup. [02:50] MrPiracy: that should do [02:50] anyone know of a retailer that sells popular netbooks without windows licenses? looking on newegg, amazon, etc. but it seems like everyone wants to make me drop the $ on an OS i'll be uninstalling immediately... [02:50] ok i'll try that [02:50] th0r: well, same message [02:50] thiblahute : wait..... [02:50] r3l1c: done [02:51] Blizzerand, at login if you prefere. [02:51] look for .Trash [02:51] outoftime: I have a Dell Mini 9.. you can get them refurbished for like $200 [02:51] gbear142751: look for .Trash [02:51] outoftime: and they come with ubuntu 8.0.4 [02:51] Ricochet: I think my friend has one of those too... where'd you pick it up? [02:51] r3l1c: strangely enough... its not there [02:51] don't really care what it comes installed with, as long as it's free : ) [02:51] gbear142751: yeah my fault .. 1 min [02:51] even though i am using my "high definition" built-in soundcard, only one program can have access to the soundcard at one time. is there a fix for this or do ihave to stick in a better card? [02:51] outoftime: Their refurbished items site.. they send it to you for free.. need a link? [02:52] jrib: its odd beacuse it doesnt recognise any of the cards, and FYI i installed unbuntu server onm another machine, i just took the drive out and put it isn this one [02:52] someone could help me with network-manager? i am wondering about the device Ifupdown that shows up there besides my configured wired connection [02:52] MrPiracy: give me a minute [02:52] th0r: ok [02:52] Ricochet: nah, I'll find it - thanks! [02:52] gbear142751: sorry its .local/share/Trash [02:52] thiblahute : From gnome do preferences did you select start at login option [02:52] MrPiracy, experienced with Damn Small ? [02:52] Blizzerand: Yes, I did. [02:52] outoftime: No problem, Xubuntu works like a dream on mine.. [02:52] chemixalx: nope [02:52] <[GLOBALJIHAD]> wtf kind of freenode channnel is tis? [02:52] Nitrousoxide: you'll have to troubleshoot the network setup. I don't see why it wouldn't work if everything was pretty standard [02:53] r3l1c: got it.. should i delete the files within the "files" directory? [02:53] Ricochet: cool, yeah I'll probably do a minimal ubuntu install and then just throw in the packages i need... i hear good things about crunchbang as well [02:53] Nitrousoxide: take a look at ifconfig [02:53] <[GLOBALJIHAD]> listening [02:53] jrib: i dont understand too, no matter what [02:53] gbear142751: lemme test it first 1 sec [02:53] hrib: Ipconfig? [02:53] [GLOBALJIHAD]: do you have an ubuntu-related support question? [02:53] after restarting (I swapped out monitors not too long ago) I have this error in Xorg.0.log: (WW) NVIDIA(GPU-0): Unable to read EDID for display device CRT-0 So it won't read the correct resolutions, how do I fix it? [02:53] jrib: Ipconfig* [02:54] Nitrousoxide: ifconfig in linux [02:54] <[GLOBALJIHAD]> nope [02:54] jrib: but its wired, i put a different card in, still not working, haha ok [02:54] jrib: do you have a second for me? i have a question concering network-manager. may i pm you? [02:54] jrib: did you take note of my previous statements, that i isntalled it on a dif machine [02:54] jrib: and i moved the drive [02:54] jrib: would that affect it [02:54] MrPiracy: it appears you aren't alone....http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1057441 [02:54] Noo, He was helping me [02:55] Blizzerand: And I have it in the ~/.conf directory. I also thgought it might be because it needs compiz to be startup first because I had this issue before but the effect it had before was only opening it normally (I mean the docky didn't work). But this time iit simply doesn't start. And since I added it after the compiz entry in "Startup Application" I shouldn't have problem about that [02:55] MrPiracy: but I am afraid there isn't much help there...there are a couple of workarounds mentioned [02:55] thiblahute : Bug ....( I am having a cool time with it though) [02:55] every icon on my desktop disappeared and the right click menu doesnt work on my desktop.. how can I fix without rebooting ? [02:55] Oh [02:55] th0r: wow [02:55] Jrib kicked him, Ah, i thought jrib was kicked [02:55] <[GLOBALJIHAD]> wow [02:55] (latest ubuntu) [02:55] Blizzerand with gnome-do or with bug corrections? [02:56] thiblahute : Normally you don't need compiz for Gnome-do to work andmay be a bug with Gnome-Do [02:56] jrib: would it matter on completley new machine hardware, i know for a face windows panics if you pull out hte drive and put it in a completley new machine [02:56] Does anyone have the time to help out a Newbie? I am trying to get everything working on my Asus Eee Top 1602 and its just not working for me.. I really could use some help guys.. I have been on here for 3 hours and I am almost going to start begging. I'll wash your car if you help me hahaha [02:56] Nitrousoxide: linux should be ok [02:56] " I'll wash your car if you help me hahaha", seriously? [02:56] MrPiracy: it appears to be related to the ATI drivers....at least according to this one...https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/277587 [02:57] th0r: it's not exactly the same error though ... i freeze at *Checking battery state... nothing comes after that [02:57] hahah i am that desperate [02:57] Blizzerand I am not sure it's more a bug from gnome-do than a bug from gnome. And Yes you need compiz for the gnome-do docky stuff. [02:57] thiblahute : Let me just google about the problem so I can give you some proper instruction [02:57] haha i was kidding though [02:57] Ricochet: Bring on your questions [02:57] th0r: my card is nvidia [02:57] hi [02:57] thiblahute : Did you enable compositing [02:57] !hi |jfaosdp [02:57] jfaosdp: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [02:57] Blizzerand: Yes, compiz is started. [02:58] Blizzerand; sure since I can lunch gnome do manually [02:58] Neroon: PERFECT! Ok i have an Asus Eee Top 1602 and running 8.10 (because the walk through that i am using, is using that.. so I was just going to get it working then upgrade) and I can not for the life of me get the correct screen resolution to work, its defaulting at 800x600. [02:58] jrib: ok let me test ifconfig [02:58] how can i change the sheen of my screen? :S but by terminal, please [02:58] question: i got a device called Ifupdown showing up in my network-manager - how can i get rid of that? i already compared the network-manager config file with the one on another system .... [02:59] MrPiracy: from the second url I sent....Note that I had to switch the driver from nvidia to nv in order to properly boot this box to post these logs. [02:59] Neroon: Here is the link I was using, you will have to put it into google and translate it http://www.eeepc.it/guida-installare-ubuntu-su-asus-eee-top-1602/ [02:59] Neroon: Got any more specific infos about your built in graphic card, or do i have to google it? [02:59] thiblahute : Try the forums , may be a bug or you may be missing something .. :P [02:59] the applet doesn't work, so i need to change the sheen in a console [02:59] Ricochet: Got any more specific infos about your built in graphic card, or do i have to google it? [02:59] th0r: let me look [02:59] Blizzerand: thx anyway!

I am running Jaunty Jackalope... Can anyone help me? [03:00] Nitrousoxide: I'm not all that knowledgeable about network setup. Try summarizing the issue and asking for help in the channel [03:00] how do I keep my wacom tablet from becoming a mouse and only within my gimp window? [03:00] Ricochet: No prob, I just never fiddled around with an Intel card. [03:01] NGL-Jabrroa: VLC will do streaming, both as server and as client. fluendo-streaming-server is a package in the repos I believe. And ask around some more. [03:01] MrPiracy: near the end of that url there is a post dated 02-26 where someone talks about that error. He also states that if someone has that problem in jaunty they should file a new bug report. He goes on to talk about switching to the vesa driver, and offers a link to do that [03:01] Neroon: The Asus Eee Top is basically the guts of a netbook but with a 14" touch screen.. [03:01] jrib: thanks [03:02] Ricochet: I know what an EEE is, but thanks :-) [03:02] Hey guys, I installed linuc on a differen machine then transfered it to another, now i cant get any network connectivity [03:02] Ive tried two network cards === teh_pwnerator_ is now known as teh_pwnerator [03:02] Ubuntu insted of linux, sorry [03:02] Blizzerand: i mean brightness :P [03:02] Ricochet: Trying to find some info about, it. Might take some time [03:02] Neroon: Thanks so much for your help === Blizzerand is now known as Twittery [03:03] Ricochet: Or you might ask around (more specific this time) regarding the EEE and Resolution in X [03:03] ANYONE HAS AN IDEA? [03:03] Sorry caps [03:03] Does anyone have an idea on my network-realted problem [03:04] Neroon: I have been asking on this IRC for about a month, so far no one has turned up anything.. its hard to get people to pay attention to you on this too sometimes [03:04] you got that right ricochet [03:05] Ricochet: what is your problem? [03:05] Ricochet: i may be able to help [03:05] Ricochet: You might have a look at this: http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Asus_EeeTop Expecially the Section "Screen" Part [03:05] th0r: i dont want to use vesa driver, i have other things that needs nvidia's [03:05] th0r: so is that a bug and can't be fixed? meaning nobody can restart X from jaunty? [03:06] MrPiracy: I understand, but for troubleshooting it might help determine where the problem lies. [03:06] I have an old Nvidia Ti4200 and after installing the correct drivers, X returns the error : (EE) NVIDIA(0):Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module! ... a little further down it says - Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration......

[03:06] Neroon: yes [03:06] Ricochet: I see [03:07] Neroon: for now ... hehehehehe [03:07] MrPiracy: from what I read the error is sort of generic and could indicate any of a number of issues.

Sorry [03:09] Nitrousoxide: There are videos on youtube of of people getting it to work and having tutorials on how ot do it, but i seem to fail at getting it to work [03:09] hi [03:09] Neroon: No the one you sent me [03:10] Neroon: hehe no prob, i got tons of other questions for ya [03:10] Ricochet: link me [03:10] anybody know ubuntu software working with samsung sgh-i600 ?? [03:10] What do you do when you can't kill this one(kill -9), 15678 - 02:03:34 VBoxSVC [03:10] MrPiracy: from what I read it appears the error is misleading. All the threads seem to move quickly away from power issues to suspecting the video, that is why I suggested trying the vesa [03:10] MrPiracy: Omg ... [03:10] does anybody know how to do remote desk top [03:10] Nitrousoxide: http://www.eeepc.it/guida-installare-ubuntu-su-asus-eee-top-1602/ you will have to put it into google and translate it though [03:10] Ricochet: The prob is, I dont run gnome here, so I try to figure out, what editor you'd use best [03:11] I have an old Nvidia Ti4200 and after installing the correct drivers, X returns the error : (EE) NVIDIA(0):Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module! ... a little further down it says - Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration......

[03:12] MrPiracy: well, I can only go on what I read, I have no personal experience with that error...never encountered it. ONly offered the noacpi as I assumed it was a power management issue [03:12] Neroon: maybe i should try setting root password ... what do u think huh? [03:12] hehe [03:12] Blizzerand: Ati radeon hd2400 i think so ... [03:12] Ricochet: nice machine [03:12] Nitrousoxide: I guess he just needs to edit his xorg.conf to fit his resolution [03:12] Nitrousoxide: So people have done it, its just me personally that is having trouble with it.. Whenever I edit the xorg.conf file and restart gdm, everything goes black and I can do nothing [03:12] hi all [03:13] Neroon: Thats what is says in multiple tutorials [03:13] th0r: ok, thx for trying [03:13] I have an old Nvidia Ti4200 and after installing the correct drivers, X returns the error : (EE) NVIDIA(0):Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module! ... a little further down it says - Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration......

[03:13] Ricochet: just keep trying different settings till its fine. [03:13] klk [03:13] Nitrousoxide: Thought so, but I can't tell him, which editor to use. You maybe? I'm on kde here [03:13] Neroon: hahahhahahhh [03:13] Neroon: i suggested trial and error [03:13] MrPiracy: no, sorry I don't [03:13] Nitrousoxide: How do I do that? [03:14] How do I kill zombies? [03:14] Neroon: well anything that can edit text [03:14] Is it clean-up day in the channel tonight? [03:14] LordMetroid: the zombies don't hurt anything and will eventually be cleaned up by the system, not worth worrying about [03:14] OttifantSir: yes [03:14] Nitrousoxide: Dont tell me, tell Rico. He never used one, I guess [03:14] Ricochet: Use a text editor to edit your .conf file [03:14] it takes up 100% of one of the cores I have [03:14] Ok [03:14] desacata [03:14] how do i make it so i can emulate 3rd mouse button on latest ubuntu?

[03:15] Ricochet: one moment please [03:15] aing teu ngarti [03:15] Nitrousoxide: I am sorry to be difficult.. im a newbie. [03:15] I have an old Nvidia Ti4200 and after installing the correct drivers, X returns the error : (EE) NVIDIA(0):Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module! ... a little further down it says - Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration...... I am running Jaunty Jackalope... Can anyone help me? [03:15] Neroon: rmllp [03:15] Ricochet: hey i ahve amy own problems too, My netowrk cards arnt being detected [03:16] Ricochet: you have to edit your xorg.conf file [03:16] Nitrousoxide: what are ur network cards? [03:16] Ricochet: with a text editor [03:16] MrPiract: one moment please [03:16] MrPiracy: Read my lllip? [03:16] hey, I'm using SCIM on ubuntu to type Hangul,anyone know how Can I make it work with anki? [03:16] Neroon: read my last line please [03:16] Nitrousoxide: so like gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? [03:16] or msn [03:17] MrPiracy RTL81D [03:17] MrPiracy: and you set it in the xorg.conf? [03:17] Ricochet: Yeah jsut a text editor [03:17] Nitrousoxide: So after I do that.. then what? Everytime I copy and paste the text from the tutorials.. everything goes black.. [03:17] ****amsn [03:17] Neroon: i used "preferred resolution" option in it ... didn't work [03:18] Nitrousoxide: is it onboard? asus mobo? [03:18] Ricochet: Ok well dont, What you do is, Trial and error i believe [03:18] MrPircay: No i tried 2 PCI cards [03:18] MrPiracy: Two cards neither work [03:18] I created a shortcut launcher to a simple script I wrote; however, the script requires root privileges to run. It contains "rmmod" and "modprobe" in it. How do I have the launcher require me to enter the superuser password when I run it? Of course, in the terminal I would manually type out "sudo blah". What about in this case? [03:18] MrPirate: one is RTL81D [03:18] Nitrousoxide: so how do i do that? just start punching random things in? I dont think I know enough about ubuntu to do that.. [03:18] MrPiracy: You might post your xorg.conf on http://paste.ubuntu.com/ and tell me the url then [03:19] MrPirate: the other is IBM i think, PCI not Onboard [03:19] Ricochet: ok let me see that [03:19] Nitrousoxide: i had problem with my asus onboard card in hardy ... i couldn't fix it, the solution was to use wireless instead [03:19] jfaosdp : cd /proc/acpi/video/VGA/LCDD/ - and run those commands which I gave you before < sorry > [03:19] Neroon: one sec [03:19] Ricochet: But backup before you edit the file, please [03:19] MrPiracy, well its ubuntu server 9, I Installed it on another machine then moved the drive over [03:19] MrPiracy: would that affect it? [03:19] Neroon: How do i do that? [03:20] Ricochet: Im sorry, i cant help you further, i think trian by error is the best way. [03:20] flanders: I would do a gksudo to get a graphical dialog asking for password. But it might not be the correct way to do it. You should look into dialog. [03:20] Neroon: http://pastebin.org/3123 [03:20] Ricochet: i can help you alter, not now. [03:20] Blizzerand: i haven't that directory, but i have /proc/acpi/video/GFX0/LCD/ . That's ok ? [03:20] Nitrousoxide: Just curious: Tried a different slot maybe? [03:20] Nitrousoxide: Ok! thank you! [03:21] Neroon: ive got two cards, both unresponsive [03:21] jfaosdp : Try that ( I am not sure though) [03:21] Nitrousoxide: u moved the HD to another machine? [03:21] Netoon: ill try swapping slots and all [03:21] hey all [03:21] MrPiracy Ok let me explain, i took the Hd out, Install ubuntu server on a dif machine, and then put it back in [03:21] OttifantSir, as in implement the dialog event in the script itself? [03:21] Nitrousoxide: I read that, but both at the same time? [03:22] Neroon: like, both, ill try [03:22] I have an old Nvidia Ti4200 and after installing the correct drivers, X returns the error : (EE) NVIDIA(0):Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module! ... a little further down it says - Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration. [03:22] Nitrousoxide: why did u do that? was that card in that other machine u installed ubuntu? [03:22] Th3raid0r: what version of Ubuntu? [03:22] OttifantSir, it's a very simple script, no GUI involved. All it does is remove/add certain modules. [03:22] MrPiracy: The machine doesnt have a DVDdrive, and i only have DVDs [03:22] MrPiracy: my point is [03:22] MrPiracy: i moved to COMPLETLEY different hardware [03:23] MrPiracy: so No. [03:23] Blizzerand: look, shark@shark-desktop:/proc/acpi/video/GFX0/LCD$ ./brightness bash: ./brightness: Permission denied [03:23] flanders: Yes. I don't know if it's truly possible to have a dialog enter your superuser password, but you will probably get the answer to your question in #bash if you can understand them. Looked at them the other night, and to me it was ancient Greek [03:23] Nitrousoxide: well, that mite be the problem then .... wouldn't it be easier to move the dvd drive into the final machine? [03:23] LOL [03:24] I hear you. [03:24] MrPriacy: let me shorten it, I ahve a working windwos 7 computer, i took the 7 drive out put a blank one, wrote to it, then into my other machine, it was installed on completley different hardware [03:24] jfaosdp : *sudo chmod +x brightness* and then run ./brightness [03:24] MrPiracy: i cant, i need that dvd drive in that machiner [03:24] I find it interesting how in the Linux world, they cater to both dummy, computer illeterate users and harcore computer geeks at the same time. [03:24] flanders: is pretty special [03:24] Blizzerand: anyway .. same answer [03:25] is is its [03:25] MrPiracy: Neroon told me to try to use both at once [03:25] Nitrousoxide: install from network? [03:25] Nitrousoxide: WOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOO I GOT IT WORKING!!!! [03:25] MrPiracy: But IDK, windwos freaks out when you install one one set of hardware then move to a completley new one, does linux do it too? [03:25] flanders: And that is one of a myriad of reasons why we love it. [03:25] Ricochet: i told oyu im awesome [03:26] MrPiracy: No i didnt, Nitrousoxide. I asked IF you did so [03:26] Nitrousoxide: You are. [03:26] flanders: if the script uses sudo you could just create a desktop launcher and check "run in terminal" that way the sudo prompt will appear... you could always use gksudo just for the nice password prompt though... [03:26] How can I enable Places>Recent documents? [03:26] What [03:26] Ahh im confused [03:26] Nitrousoxide: i think all OS'es will freak out because at install time all the hardware that you have will be detected. [03:26] MrPiracy: Try to add or edit yours to more like this maybe: http://paste.ubuntu.com/222352/ [03:26] MrPriacy: teach me how to do that later please [03:26] MrPiracy, so tell me Sir, how do i do newtork install [03:27] "Updating couldn't be easier. Just click on the tray icon (the tray icon is the little picture thingy in the bottom right corner of your screen) and it will ask you if you wish to proceed with the update. Click "Install" to begin! Tada!" "In order for your wireless card to work, you first need to add these URLs to your software repositories, then grab the firmware cutter. After doing so, open up a terminal and remove than add these module [03:27] s, manually, by typing out cryptic commands." [03:27] Blizzerand: although i changed the permissions, same reply :S [03:27] Nitrousoxide: are u dual booting this server machine with windows? [03:27] MrPiracy: Negative [03:27] MrPiracy: But dont forget to back the file up first ... [03:27] I'm thinking it might be time for a fresh install... can anyone suggest a good howto for migrating a /home to storage and then reinstalling it? [03:27] "MrPiracy: No i didnt, Nitrousoxide. I asked IF you did so" What? [03:27] !home | gbear142751 [03:27] gbear142751: 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 [03:28] arand, I never considered that. [03:28] So [03:28] jfaosdp: sudo chmod 777 brightness and give it a try [03:28] MrPirate: how do i netowrk install [03:28] "Run in terminal" will probably do the trick. [03:28] Brb All, showering [03:28] It doesn't need to be fancy, so it'll suffice. [03:28] Blizzerand: nothing... sorry [03:29] Nitrousoxide: usb drive, nothing else u can boot from? [03:29] flanders: Yea, I use a similar thing to "poke" my wireless, for some reason if I run an iwlist command it connects much faster often... [03:29] arand, OttifantSir, and all, thanks for the help. I'm going to try it out now, and take care! [03:30] arand, for me, once it works, I'm happy. As long as I can use my wireless adapter like normal. [03:30] anybody know ho well ati graphics are supported [03:30] Nitrousoxide: as for the network install thing, i was just guessing ... i have no idea how to do that from a machine with no OS at all [03:31] Nitrousoxide: the easiest thing for u to do in my opinion is to get a dvd drive for a few mins to get ubuntu installed [03:31] AceBlade159: I had a hard time setting it up for my father yesterday.. Ended up disabling the driver because I didn't have time to work on it. But from the default, ATI Catalys play bad with Display Manager [03:32] Nitrousoxide: and then u can take back the unit to the other machine [03:32] AceBlade159: I have one 2450 that doesn't work, and one 3450 that does. According to documentation, everything from 9700 and below are supported by open drivers, while all above, such as X*** and HD are proprietary driver. [03:32] jfaosdp : what is the error that you get [03:32] Neroon: gonna try what u said, brb [03:33] Nitrousoxide: i have to reboot, brb [03:33] i'm asking because my girlfriend just orderd a dell laptop and they don't offer nvidia anymore [03:33] Blizzerand: bash: ./brightness: Permission denied [03:33] except there ultra high end [03:33] AceBlade159: only intel? [03:33] AceBlade159: oh nvm [03:33] I got the latest version of lm_sensors so it'll read my i7 temps, sensors shows it working but when I try to turn them on in gkrellm it just shows me a ton of temp1 labels and I have NO idea what each is... anyway to fix that? [03:34] jfaosdp : Can you use gui [03:34] jfaosdp: chmod +x brightness [03:34] jfaosdp: make it executable [03:34] arand: it's hard to get an amd proc, or an nvidia graphics [03:34] mostly just stuck with intel ati [03:35] arand which sucks because her and i both prefer amd/nvidia [03:35] arand kind of ironic [03:35] AceBlade159: hmm, I though dell only did intel/nvid... [03:35] i gave it permissions, but doesn't work [03:36] arandthey have amd proc's on some comps [03:36] arand they have amd proc's on some comps [03:36] Neroon: same s**t, dude [03:36] Neroon: didn't work [03:36] arand but mostly ati graphics [03:36] jfaosdp ; If you can Go to System->Preferences->Startup Applications->Add and And add the chmod 777 and the ./brightness.( In different settings) Hope it works. [03:36] AceBlade159: But I think we are getting a bit offtopic now :) [03:37] MrPiracy: hm. What does Xorg.0.log say? [03:37] Neroon: let me check [03:37] Is MrPirate here? === TrueYomic is now known as Yomic [03:38] Nitrousoxide: Check yourself: Type Mrpi and press tab [03:38] Blizzerand: i don't understood that of add the chmod 777 and the ./brightness in startup applications [03:38] hello [03:39] who is online tonight??? [03:39] didn't understand * [03:40] quit [03:40] jfaosdp : i made some googling and found that The default level of brightness that Ubuntu uses whenever it boots up is stored in brightness_default. No matter what you change the brightness file entry to, the next time you start your computer, it's going to use the default brightness again. There fore you have to run them at startup to solve . [03:41] Mrpi [03:41] Neroon:in linux [03:41] ahh, ok thanks [03:41] Nitrousoxide: What? [03:41] Neroon: i extracted the important lines ... http://pastebin.org/3130 [03:41] Nitrousoxide: now i am [03:41] jfaosdp : So even if you can run ./brightness no use as every setting will be lost when you reboot .... [03:42] Neroon: "itrousoxide: Check yourself: Type Mrpi and press tab" [03:42] Blizzerand: my first problem was that my pc was too hot ... so i thought that it was for the brightness [03:42] MrPiracy: i have an old machine, its come down to network or USB boot [03:42] hello all i have an hp pavillion dv7 laptop that has a built in wireless card and when i try to connect to a wireless network with wpa protection it cycles the power of the wireless card, any one know of a fix for this? [03:43] Blizzerand: i thought so, because i have an iMac, and screen + cpu is all in one [03:43] How do i enable all scripts for current domain in noscript? not whitelisting a specific domain, i mean current domain for any page i'm browsing [03:43] MrPiracy: Then take out the nvidia-auto-select +0+0 from your xorg.conf [03:43] jfaosdp : lol Brightness cannot be a factor for that . [03:43] lol [03:43] so what :S [03:43] Neroon: hmmmm ok, brb [03:43] MrPiracy: And as you can see, you can forget the preferred mode line [03:44] Nitrousoxide: one more reason for u to add a dvd drive to it ... it will be the only possible way for u to install ubuntu correctly [03:44] Neroon: yes [03:44] jfaosdp : Try the ubuntu forums or some tech forums . Do yo have a windows partition [03:44] Neroon: i dont know why though, it works [03:44] Flynsarmy: If you have the item in the upper toolbar you can configure that to happen when clicking on it.. [03:45] hi folks, just installed minimal-cli + kde-core, and need to setup wireless, can anyone point me in the right direction? [03:45] is it possible to network 2 different computers running different os software, windows vista and ubuntu for4 example? [03:45] Blizzerand: a windows partition for what ? :S [03:45] How can i logout my servers gnome session to the terminal without restarting? [03:45] MrPiracy: It works now? [03:46] arand, there is 'enable all for this page' but that will only whitelist the current page, not the current domain regardless of what URL you hvae loaded won't it? [03:46] i have a wireless card that cycles power and doesnt connect when trying to connect any ideas on how to fix this? [03:47] mattgyver: go to terminal 1: ctr+al+f1 and type: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop i guess. If it doesnt work you might get to x with ctrl+alt+f7 or f8, not sure with gnome [03:47] Flynsarmy: The top toolbar applet has more options and from what I hear, the one you're after. [03:47] jfaosdp : Ah never mind , I am sure why your PC gets hot but it cannot be the brightness and I cannot be much of help . Try the forums [03:47] Neroon: was editing the file ... i have to REBOOT because i cant restart X, remember? ;) [03:48] MrPirace: ok let me get my screw driver [03:48] .... ok, this is weird, no matter what I do, GParted insists that my swap partition has the label of a partition I deleted [03:48] anyone feel like chatting??? [03:49] hay mcw [03:49] im having problems with ebox starting... [03:49] Flynsarmy: also, in ns options it seems you can add those options to the bottom-right applet. [03:49] !ot | mcw [03:49] mcw: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [03:49] Blizzerand: ok, thanks. Another question ... you remember me blizzard lol ... do you know when starcraft 2 will be launch ? hehehe === kiaas_ is now known as Bob_Dole [03:49] it keeps saying "not running within active session) at /usr/share/perl5/EBox/GConfModule.pm [03:49] arand, you talking about 'allow scripts globally' ? [03:49] Anyone familiar with Azalia HD audio front panels? I bought one that connects to my mainboard. It has only two audio plugs (mic, front/headphone). The sound works fine with my 2 chan analog headphones. I'm thinking the technology is designed so the same port could be used as digital though instead. Anyone know about this? [03:49] anybody know where i can find the details on this? [03:50] ok heres a question then [03:50] Flynsarmy: no [03:50] jfaosdp : Sorry never played starcraft or whatever [03:50] how do i run a c compiler in ubuntu? [03:50] Neroon: same thing, man [03:50] and is there one [03:50] Neroon: 1024x800 still [03:50] MrPiracy: Getting annyoing [03:50] mcw use gcc [03:50] I am trying to learn how to programme [03:50] Blizzerand: hahaha ok, i advise you [03:50] mcw: lol [03:50] MrPiracy: And still the same in xorg.log? [03:50] Neroon: it IS [03:51] gcc [03:51] Neroon: let me check ... [03:51] mcm: gcc from command line, maybe called indirectly from a makefile? eclipse would work well as a gui front end but could still use gcc in the background to compile. [03:51] what is gcc? [03:51] !gcc [03:51] lol [03:51] Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [03:51] gcc is the linux c compiler [03:51] Good night, all guys! [03:51] chao Blizzerand [03:51] can i add it from synaptic? [03:51] jfaosdp : Have fun Cheers [03:51] Flynsarmy: There are options to have menu entries for "full domains" and "full addresses" that's what youre after? [03:52] and will it show up in the menu [03:52] ? [03:52] r3l1c: the gnu c compiler mind you :) [03:52] apt-get build-essentials [03:52] arand: yes sorry [03:52] lol [03:52] * Dr_willis worries about someone wantin g to install 'gcc' and not knowing what it is..

[04:09] should c it in lsusb [04:10] uman: dmesg, lsusb, etc. if it didn't pop up on your desktop i guess you can format it fat32 or something if it acts like a flash drive [04:10] ya i guess if its UVC it should be a stream. but ya i dont know linux well [04:11] what is UVC, i've heard of it before [04:11] hi, how do I mark a package as already installed manually(make install)?

[04:14] is there a way to install extra apps in the "system settings" of kde? ive installed kde-core on a cli install of ubuntu and cant find anywhere to install/configure my wireless. [04:14] bucky: isnt that a matter of pluggin it in [04:14] rredd4: I'm not exactly sure what you would see, but that would give you it.

[04:15] i have g9 it has 9 buttons [04:15] 3.5gb ought to be enough anybody(on a 32bit x86 system not using PAE) [04:15] bucky: well if the pc sees it it should automount but at32 can be flaky [04:16] MrPiracy: what monitor you do you have [04:16] how many times are you going to say that Bob_Dole? [04:16] meglo its not mounted, how do i mount it via usb? === callan is now known as wizzo [04:16] and I assure you, 4 gigs is BARELY enough for me on a non-gaming system [04:16] meglo: i need 2058x1152 ;] and 1024x769 is clearly not enough [04:16] which is why my next build I plan to have 12 gigs [04:16] I am having problems with pidgin and now all my firefox bookmarks are gone and I can't login to google... I'm not sure what is wrong at all... but things seem to be getting progressively worse [04:16] MrPiracy: Err, what end? [04:16] rredd4: Did you see in gnome-logs' dmesg what /dev/ it was bound to? [04:16] izap: philips 190c6 ... 19 in [04:17] no [04:17] Cyber_Akuma, as many times as it takes! and, also, you can only use 3.5gb of that memory on a 32bit x86 system not using PAE. [04:17] Cyber_Akuma: lol netbook user [04:17] rredd4: lsusb [04:17] Neroon: no error messages, it sets 1280, but in the end of log file it says setting mode 1024 [04:17] hey guys, was wondering if anyone could point me to some useful resources on how to setup up a server with my own precompiled binaries of pacakges i want to install on multiple servers, so that each server doesnt have to compile the packages over and over... [04:17] nope [04:17] FloridaGuy: did anyone answer your question about xorg? [04:17] are bcm43xx cards supported out of the box in 9.04 ? [04:17] rredd4: nothing came up? it isn't being detected? please say my nick so I can see you responding to me. [04:18] Bob_Dole: im using 64bit operating systems [04:18] Neroon: i used a parameter that i found ... "UseEDIDDpi" FALSE [04:18] i made a truecrypt partition on my jump drive any reason it is read only? [04:18] ekimmargni, no [04:18] Cyber_Akuma, I specified 32bit each time I said it. [04:18] i just installed gdesklets thrrew synaptic but when i click on the icon i get this error----------Failed to execute child process "gdesklets" (No such file or directory) [04:18] I am using fail2ban, i have set the bantime to permanent (-1) however it continues to unban the user after about 10 minutes, could someone help? [04:18] this has got to be a common thing to setup an nfs mount or somethign with precompiled binaries.. but i cant find any thing from google [04:18] rredd4: also I'd google your webcam's model number + 'ubuntu' and see what comes up there. [04:18] not using PAE, yes I know [04:18] tongueroo: that's why you make your own deb packages [04:18] meglo ok [04:18] FloridaGuy: almost everything should be autodetected - the rest is configured in xorg.conf manaully. [04:18] You remind me of those guys on the radio that talk liek 200 words a minute about hte side effects of a drug right near the end [04:18] XD [04:18] FloridaGuy: was there something specific you're trying to do? [04:18] rredd4: But I'm not certain I can help you, never used a webcam before... and certainly not one with built-in storage :\ [04:19] Cyber_Akuma: lol [04:19] so i just moved my hard drive from my old computer to another one, should i do a re-install so all the software and hardware get to shake hands? [04:19] ekimmargni, yeah...get 1280x1040 [04:19] rredd4: I'm just assuming it operates like a USB thumbdrive - but I could be wrong about that. You need to check it out :\ [04:19] FloridaGuy: are you using exotic hardware? [04:19] Hey guys, I have a question.. I have 8.10 and I have edited the xorg.conf and added a few side programs and edited some stuff.. if i upgrade to 9.04 will it erase everything that I have done? [04:19] MrPiracy: ok, but what sets it back to 1024? [04:19] I assure you my 12gig build will be using a 64bit system :P [04:19] could anyone recommend which log files to take a look at to possibly diagnose some of these issues? I am in syslog right now but the only error which seems out of place is Jul 19 23:11:15 Mustache pidgin: *** glibc detected *** pidgin: double free or corruption (out): 0x0000000001feaf80 *** [04:19] Cyber_Akuma: im getting high, i dont get any side-effects from that lol unlike alcohol. [04:19] just a nvidia gforce6 [04:19] 12 gig is kinda overkill, but I wanted 8 gigs and can't [04:19] Hello im back [04:19] its either 3, 6, or 12 [04:20] so I guess ill go with 12 [04:20] How can Rebbot and boot off a cd in ubuntu server? [04:20] meglo lsusb shows bus 1 & 2 device 001 ID ld6b:0002 linux foundation 2.0 root hub which means nothing to me [04:20] Cyber_Akuma: some side effects of linux may couse stress, confusion, a hate of microsoft, lack of sleep and depression [04:20] ekimmargni, i get 1280x1040 in mandriva and fedora [04:20] lol [04:20] So far it just makes me hate linux [04:20] XD [04:20] FloridaGuy: pastebin your xorg.conf for me? [04:21] ekimmargni, in fedora useing systen-config-display [04:21] I sadly find the tools most people use and swear by to be utterly unusable [04:21] especially VI [04:21] Cyber_Akuma: sighn effects do vary [04:21] lol [04:21] For some reason my Sound in ubuntu is VERY low. almost inaudible [04:21] julian__: so turn it up [04:21] a 1000 sided rubics cube ie easier to figure out than that thing [04:21] XD [04:21] Hello, How can i reboot and? boot off a cd in ubuntu [04:21] should i do a full re-install of ubuntu if i put my original hard drive into another pc?

[04:22] julian__: click on it [04:22] how do i see the hard drives on ubuntu from vista [04:22] yes. [04:22] gogeta: No i didnt [04:22] bucky lsusb shows "bus 1 device 001 ID ld6b:0002 linux foundation 2.0 root hub" which means nothing to me [04:22] Nitrousoxide: reboot boot off cd [04:22] gogeta:w when my omputer boots [04:22] gogeta: Theres no boot from cd function [04:22] my watch can probaly run nano [04:22] Mac OS and linux made me enjoy computing again..mac more so than linux, but I needed faster hardware than a 2.33ghz Core 2 Duo, a MAX of 3 GB RAM(not 3.5) and a ATI Radeon X1600 video card.. for something in my budget. [04:22] Nitrousoxide: you booted off a cd when you installed it [04:22] Nitrousoxide: put cd in tray, hit power button select restart... should boot off cd by default, if not check bios [04:23] gogeta: No, long story [04:23] rredd4: look like your device is not detected [04:23] ekimmargni, xorg has to have the 1280x1040 for that to give [04:23] .... then again, most watches don't have a 66mhz cpu, 8 megs of ram, usb, or a touchscreen XD [04:23] Ok [04:23] ekimmargni, http://pastebin.com/m183e1fe7 [04:23] Gbear: start a chat with me [04:23] Nitrousoxide: bios very on changing boot some you press esc [04:23] rredd4: is your device a usb 2.0 device?

[04:23] gogeta: Lisen [04:23] bucky yes [04:23] bucky brand new camera [04:23] rredd4: when you plug in your webcam, you should see it at the end of your dmesg. What you posted to me just looks like chipset information or something [04:23] FloridaGuy: eww, where did you get all this cruft? [04:23] gogeta: im suing a net vista, very onld computer, you cant change the boot options [04:24] rredd4: you need to google it and find the driver for it and then modprobe [04:24] meglo that was lsusb results [04:24] Nitrousoxide: to old for cd boot you can make a boot floppy to enable it [04:24] ekimmargni, get all what [04:24] I have never heard of a computer where you cannot change boot options in the bios [04:24] how can i divide windows in vim? [04:24] bucky ok, ty [04:24] nafta: q!

[04:24] PCM volume [04:24] julian__, turn up your PCM [04:25] are there any other volume controls? [04:25] rredd4: sorry I couldn't help you, i'm not sharp on stuff really [04:25] FloridaGuy, have you tried running gksudo nvidia-settings ? === mike_ is now known as Guest92063 [04:25] hi someone is good with tv tuners ??? [04:25] rredd4: but it should show up in there.. it's like it's not plugged in *shrug* [04:25] FloridaGuy: all the crap in your xorg.conf. Did ubuntu generate that?

[04:25] bucky ok [04:25] gogeta: You didnt READ my question [04:25] ekimmargni, before 8.10 that is how any xorg.conf would look. [04:25] julian__: alsamiser [04:25] Cyber_Akuma: vi is only annoying if you have not come to terms with it, once you are confortable with it it's very usable. But it does require the step of learning it before it is properly useful.. [04:25] julian__: just run the program alsamixer in your favorite terminal emulator [04:26] hey noobs !!! [04:26] gogeta: How can i reboot into install cd from ubuntu server WHEN, the bios has no boot from disk function [04:26] bastidrazor, FloridaGuy: Well, with recent versions of xorg you should have to configure basically nothing in xorg.conf... but perhaps ask in #xorg for help?

[04:27] FloridaGuy, add another metamode for the resolution you want [04:27] bucky all i see at the end is: root hub [04:27] Does someone here want let me see their desktop remotely? I want to practise using remote desktop viewer [04:28] rredd4: how about giving me a psychic hint at to which cam you have [04:28] Bucky. that somewhat helped, it is slightly louder now.

I have edited my xorg.conf and added some applications and such.. If I upgrade to 9.04 (I am in 8.10 now) will I lose everything?! [04:40] ghindo - just let it buffer completely? Or completely watch it? I'm just confused over how this works...

[04:41] ghindo - I'm pretty sure it did buffer completely, becuase this is the 2nd time I'm watching it without having refreshed the web site... [04:41] Ricochet: xorg.conf defines your video settings and a few other things.. not applications [04:41] So why is my update failing? [04:42] Roasted, Well, what are you seeing in the /tmp directory? [04:42] pagoda: u dont have a cd..? are you in a VM and mounted an ISO? [04:42] Dr_willis: I edited my xorg.conf, and i added some applications such as evtouch and stuff like that.. they were different statements.. sorry for the confusion [04:42] hsperdata, keyring, orbit, pulse, pulse, seahorse, ssh, virtual-jason, clipboard cache, gnomesystemmonitor, vinagre [04:42] pagoda: or installed using PXE? [04:42] what can it be that cause dnsmasq to not resolve? when doing a NS lookup it return ** server can't find google.com: REFUSED [04:42] Ricochet: when in doubt backup your xorg.conf i alwyas keep a 'archive' of my old ones.. just in case.

If you dont wanna get banned 40 times over you might wanna say shoot instead :P [04:44] gmoss: i dont think utf8 is bad. [04:45] gmoss: bad font? [04:45] Steve_: no, that's the option that broke the HAL mout [04:45] do u know how to use kvm ? [04:46] Steve_: I think I'll just ditch using HAL and go back to fstab, because I know how to get that working. Thanks a bunch for your help :-) [04:46] Roasted, Try refreshing /tmp and checking again. I'm loading a YouTube video and it's loading into /tmp as well, so it _should_ be the same in your case [04:46] i'm using v-box now...

It's a em28xx chipset, connected via usb [04:46] anyone got a fav widget app [04:47] ghindo - I went to youtube and it loads a video in tmp, but this particular web site doesnt show anything in tmp [04:47] brian: thats just a tad.. vague....

[05:15] old kernel? [05:15] stacy: also you should probably try one of the newer CD s [05:15] linux == kernel ;P [05:15] none of those match... [05:15] ive got a fresh copy of the most recent release [05:15] ubuntu does not = linux :P [05:15] kholerabbi: vlc player [05:16] jamiewan: I just want to use libdvdcss like the help says. Can you help? [05:16] i'm installing mysql-gui-tools now.......... [05:16] dude Karmic screams [05:16] anyone have a solution to my firefox 3.5 subpixel smoothing issue? [05:16] libdvdcss is illegal in most places ain't it [05:16] ok on boot, when it finishes booting its like a very pixelated and scrambled ubuntu icon... almost looking like the boot splash screen [05:16] hi someone know how to install well frets on fire on ubuntu 8.04.2 LTS ??? [05:17] jareep, pastebin your xorg.conf ... apt-get install pastebinit then pastebinit /etc/X11/xorg.conf .. [05:17] kholerabbi: dunno but vlc player seems to have sorted most of my vid problems playing dvds [05:17] Here is my simple script in bash, again. I want it to toggle between removing/adding modules, depending on whether or not they are already loaded. However, I think my syntax is crappy: http://pastebin.com/d2c8a52d3 [05:17] question: i installed ubuntu through wubi, and it all went well, all works, but i went to disk analyzer and it said the capacity was ~40gb and i had 11gb available , in wubi i choose 5gb max space and i only have a 20gb hard drive [05:17] whats with that? [05:17] My harddrive keeps locking up :( [05:18] does any oone know alot about display problems [05:18] stacy: try http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors#alternate [05:18] how would i delete the contents of a folder without deleting the folder itself? [05:18] Cyber_Akuma: time to buy a new HDD [05:18] It gives me errors messages about grep: =: no such file or directory ? [05:18] jamiewan: thanks, but I'll try this first :D [05:18] My cpu was running at 100% and I couldn't find any processes using that much anywhere. Not in top or system monitor [05:18] I think its a glitch with linux accessing a hdd through usb [05:18] others seem th have the same problem [05:18] all of them usb [05:18] gbear14275: open folder select all and delete [05:18] rm -r would delete the folder as well wouldn't it [05:18] cli... [05:19] so try version that is not a live CD [05:19] ? [05:19] stacy: yes maby after installing it then it will work? [05:19] will this setup give me internet on my pc (all ethernet)? adsl2 modem------linksys spa3102 voip router-----pc [05:19] ok ill try thanks [05:19] r3l1c: try `sudo top` instead... [05:19] stacy: or you could try the latest build [05:19] thats what I am trying to install Steve [05:19] stacy: try a different linux distro liveCD/DVD [05:19] yeah sorry I did it. nothing [05:19] frets on fire error adress areleady use in songs and tutoriel place ... [05:19] Knoppix works [05:20] jareep, you could change the driver in xorg.conf to vesa to get a working GUI.. then reinstall the drivers [05:20] 有中国的兄弟吗。 [05:20] the voip router has a lan port to connect to the pc and a wan port to connect to the modem, not sure if that means it will send internet access to the pc or not [05:20] thought of that one... its just on the install CDs for ubuntu right after it tries to load Ubiquity [05:20] dragon_: here is one. I installed Karmic, just to test a little.. It over wrote grub 1.5 with 1.98 (i think) and my 9.04 boot options are not on the login. [05:21] not in the boot loader menu [05:21] actually if I go to ctrlalt F1 after the error happens... it still shows the load screen stuck at ubiquity with now "OK" status on it [05:21] kyle__: english please not asian stuf most ppl can't read [05:21] still having trouble enabling rendering [05:21] nevermind just remembered [05:21] or any status what so ever [05:21] bastid_razor: http://pastebinit.com/f58ea2255 [05:21] r3l1c: is there an option to chainload into grub 1.5? [05:21] stacy: perhaps the latest build http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/20090719/ [05:21] anyways ill try and load up on the alt [05:21] "sd 9:0:0:0: [sdb] Add.

[05:21] didn't see one I will reboot after this update is finished.. [05:21] thanks, [05:22] Steve_, just to let you know: mission accomplished, simply had to add karmic repos, and installed the package -- which did a dkms install of the driver so that it recompiles against the running kernel--i think ? [05:22] r3l1c: no problem. btw, folks in #ubuntu+1 will be able to answer karmic-related questions better.

[05:25] Steve_, well jsut came back to thank you for your help. I've been fighting to figure out why compiz freezes my Xserver ... been dragging on for weeks. So wanted to try a later kernel... too many hoops :-( [05:25] i install it [05:25] and run it [05:25] supergear: using bot in a PM would still be a better idea. [05:25] jareep, you could try changing the driver to vesa and see if that'll get your GUI back [05:25] anyone use consolas as their terminal font? [05:25] trelayne: what video card? [05:25] ILMAN8: 'it' being what exactly? Compiuz is included by default on ubuntu. [05:25] now i want to use the box mode , and other ... [05:25] hi. This is not a troll it's a serious question: can anyone tell me what advantages ubuntu has over debian, besides user-friendliness? [05:26] Steve_, nvida Quadro FX 770m [05:26] trying to settle on a distro, but Debian is user-friendly enough for me so that's a non-issue [05:26] uman: support [05:26] ILMAN8: normally one installs the 'ccsm' tool to allot for fancier configuration of compiz. thers also the #compiz channel. [05:26] ILMAN8: did you install compiz config settings manager? [05:26] I need to setup frets on fire on ubuntu 8.04.2 LTS x64 my guitar work perfectly with kcontrol but the game can't be played cause it said adress arealeady used [05:26] uman: polish and polish.. and this awsome channel. :) [05:26] in songs and tutorial mode [05:26] uman, it's alittle more cutting edge (newer versions of kernel, xorg, gnome etc.) [05:26] no [05:26] !cube | ILMAN8 [05:26] ILMAN8: Compiz-Fusion (and the older Compiz and Beryl) are window managers that employ the "composite" extension of X to draw windows using graphics cards' 3D hardware.

See also « /msg ubotu compiz » and « /msg ubotu effects » [05:27] I tried also on wine without luck cause of the resolution ... [05:27] Dr_willis: heh, I saw someone in another channel say "#ubuntu is useless.. ask in #debian and take the risk of getting flamed for using ubuntu" [05:27] ILMAN8: well do so :) [05:27] I guess some wars will never be settled [05:27] Steve_, I've even tried updating to the latest 185.18.14 but the problem comes back.. the freeze happens, It allows me to swicth to console (Ctrl-Alt-F1) after about 20 seconds then I can switch back and recover, but subsequent freezes results in corrupted windows when swithing back [05:27] durt: newer than debian testing, or newer than debian stable? [05:28] uman: the debian people would rather stay with their 'high' moral/ethics then make somthing thats 'useable' i guess... [05:28] In bash, is this the proper way to check the value of an if-then condition? if lsmod | grep uhci_mod = /dev/null; then echo "mod not loaded" [05:28] uman: this is linux. use what you like.. everyone wants to 'bash' the big popular disrtos.. so do what you want. try them all. [05:28] Guest40885: how did you install "frets on fire"? [05:28] flanders: check the 'advanced bash scripting guide' for examples of that sort of construct.

[05:29] by the ubuntu repositories and I tried the windows version on wine also [05:29] does ubuntu use a normally branded firefox? [05:29] uman: yes it does. [05:29] I hate "iceweasel" [05:29] trelayne: i would try and install the latest build [05:29] jareep, did you try to start X with the vesa driver? [05:29] Okay. [05:29] uman: good example of debians 'code of ethics' being in the way of 'using the product' [05:29] trelayne: like http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/20090719/ [05:30] Dragon_thats a bad game, big delay with me and virtually unusable, but very funny [05:30] bastid_razor: Trying now [05:30] Guest40885: Windows version is unlikely to run. Regarding the one you installed from the repos, what's the error message? [05:30] the only thing about ubuntu is it seems very closely tied to GNOME, which I never use [05:30] Steve_, anyway never mind about it, I'll see if the problem manifests tomorrow at work again. I've become dependant on compiz workspace switching, effects, etc . On the build, Hmmm.. tempting but I'm much too cautious to try it :-) But thanks for the link! [05:31] adress areleay in use [05:31] uman: gnome works very well for most people.. thers kde4 if you want.. or other window manager/desktops.. this is still Linux. Use what you want. [05:31] I'm using raw disk access in virtualbox, and for some reason it won't boot - it acts as though the MBR is missing. [05:31] uman: kubuntu isn't. What *do* you use? [05:31] trelayne: lol ya good luke [05:31] the windows version is on an unnapropriate resolution ... [05:31] Hello, my flash drive has a weird behavior: I cannot mount it like I used to, when I plug it it wont mount but if I leave it plugged and reboot the system it is mounted, then if I unplug it and replug it, it doesn't mount.Who knows what is it about ??? [05:31] losher: xmonad [05:31] Dr_willis: Yeah, I [05:31] !info xmonad [05:31] will use what I want :) [05:31] thanks for your help Steve_ , have a good evening/morning [05:31] xmonad (source: xmonad): A lightweight X11 window manager. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.8-1 (jaunty), package size 309 kB, installed size 1020 kB [05:31] question i installed ubuntu through wubi, and it all went well, all works, but i went to disk analyzer and it said the capacity was ~40gb and i had 11gb available , in wubi i choose 5gb max space and i only have a 20gb hard drive [05:31] I think xmonad is in the repos :) [05:31] Guest40885: do you see that error in a dialog box? can you try running the game from a terminal? [05:32] nice [05:32] uman: never heard of it. But I use fvwm with no other desktop nonsense. There's nothing compulsory about gnome.... [05:32] ubuntu probably has better repos than debian, correct me if Im wrong [05:32] How do I go about running scripts? [05:32] I doubt PlayOnLinux is packaged in debian repos [05:32] dustin_: what sort of script? [05:32] It's to configure guitar pro for wine [05:32] and on the howto it gives a script [05:33] dustin_: try "cd && ./" [05:33] in the terminal ???????????? [05:33] uman, it's accurate to think of ubuntu as debian with a 6 month release cycle. Universe (repo) comes straight from debian. [05:33] Guest40885: Yes. [05:33] but it's impossible to be sure if that's what you're looking for without you beng more specific [05:33] uman: it's just posted on this website [05:33] so. [05:33] dustin_: link?

I had to reinstall xorg completely. I'm back up using vesa. [05:35] dustin_: yes, just copy that into a file, name it wherever you like and put it in whatever directory [05:36] ok [05:36] dustin_: use chmod to ensure it is executable [05:36] then just cd to the directory you put it in and do ./name_of_script [05:36] jareep, the latest drivers aren't always the best route to go. you should be able to reinstall the restricted drivers now [05:36] Guest40885: Congratulations!

Thanks for the help. [05:37] no way I don't report bugs [05:37] dustin_: do you know how to use chmod? [05:37] jareep, vesa is the default driver.. in the future it is good to remember. you can always get a GUI back with vesa [05:37] Guest40885: so you prefer freeloading? [05:37] so FF3.5 cant be installed in ubuntu? Im totally confused. [05:37] jareep, good luck [05:37] My flash drive has a weird behavior: I cannot mount it like it used to, when I plug it it wont mount but if I leave it plugged and reboot the system it is mounted, then if I unplug it and replug it it doesn't mount [05:37] dravekx, Im running FF3.5 [05:37] my bugs never get fixed [05:38] even when i give a patch [05:38] I prefer a working game than reporting silly bugs [05:38] dravekx: why do you say that?

[05:41] so is that folder somewhere on the live cd? [05:41] lol [05:41] Guest40885: remember that virtually all free software is written almost completely by volunteers in their free time.

[05:42] Once i boot up Jaunty it takes 5-10 minutes for the Network Manager to start up automatically, i just run /etc/init.d/NetworkManager start and it starts without any problem. Any one know why this is happening ? [05:42] Or maybe just restarting Network Manager would work, I dunno... [05:42] I'm using 9.04. [05:42] ThatGuyOverThere: sudo reboot [05:42] NetLarIrvine, best bet would be to open synaptic search for what packages provided the icon sets you use and reinstall them [05:43] ThatGuyOverThere: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [05:43] ThatGuyOverThere: sudo /etc/init.d/NetworkManager restart [05:43] ThatGuyOverThere, /etc/init,d/NetworkManager restart [05:43] durt: it is just that whole folder [05:43] Thanks. I saw that for some older Ubuntu versions and wondered if the same applied to 9.04. [05:43] I just installed ff3.5, but it still says ff3.0.11 :( [05:44] NetLarIrvine, Install a new icon set. [05:44] do I hafta restart ubuntu? [05:44] Well It will not let me get online, I have to get the file off the disk [05:44] dravekx: reread what the BOT SAID [05:44] !ff35 | dravekx [05:44] dravekx: Firefox 3.5 Final is available for Jaunty by installing the package firefox-3.5 | FF3.5 is referred to as Shiretoko on your UI, see http://is.gd/1reB3 for an explanation | Hardy & Intrepid: http://is.gd/1jkNY [05:44] NetLarIrvine, but many packages put files into it. [05:44] dravekx, See if you have something called Shiretoko web browser [05:44] dravekx: it does not replace the 3.0.11 it has its own icon/name [05:44] dravekx its named Shiretoko [05:45] ohhhh [05:45] oh well I am screwed I guess [05:45] dravekx: and yes.. its supposed to not replace it.. :) [05:45] thanks guys! :) [05:45] Anyway, does anybody have any experience with Ubuntu on the PS3? 'Cause that's the machine I can't seem to get networking to work on. :/ [05:45] ThatGuyOverThere: i know theres specific web sites that cover it.. and thats ablut all i know on the topic. :() [05:46] I tried looking on the IRC channel list for a PS3 specific channel, but I guess there isn't one. :/ [05:46] hi [05:46] I guess I'll look on PSUbuntu's website. [05:46] need help disabling a device? [05:46] !ask | p8n [05:46] p8n: 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. :-) [05:46] NetLarIrvine: trouble is, every app that uses icons installs their own into /usr/share/icons, so there's no easy way to repopulate it, unless you want to reinstall everything you've ever installed over again. Nasty business.... [05:46] ThatGuyOverThere try wicd [05:47] well my laptop has a touchstick and touchpad, and the touchstick is messed up, and i was wondering if/how i could disable just the stick. [05:47] iosher: your right, just starting over [05:47] NetLarIrvine: try `sudo aptitude reinstall gnome-icon-theme` [05:47] So about wicd, does it support KDE? [05:48] I'm thinking of switching to Kubuntu. [05:48] So Gnome / Run Xclient script for my Ubuntu 8.04 isn't booting up properly. After logging in, that tan/brown background color comes up, then my mouse, then a white/gray box in the upper left corner of the screen. Nothing happens after that. I'm stuck using KDE/4 and I don't enjoy it at all. [05:48] dragon_:network connection does not work too [05:48] NetLarIrvine: because of that icon folder? i missed some of the messages.. [05:49] ThatBoogieman: wicd should work in kde also. [05:49] Yes, seems that when that folder is deleted, some things will not work [05:49] ThatBoogieman: come on KDE is not to bad.. once you remove all the widgets [05:49] ThatBoogieman, Did you try configure any thing related to display ? [05:49] does anyone have an idea? [05:49] how do I make shiretoko the default browser? [05:49] I learned lesson, know now I need to be more careful [05:50] testing [05:50] dravekx: i would suggest you just dont... its not as fully tested as 3.0.11 [05:50] hello every one [05:50] :) [05:50] 'Sup.

[05:52] Henry5: there is, it's called sftp, and it's in the package named openssh-client. [05:52] There have Openssh and Openssl [05:53] what is Openssl and what is OpenSsh? [05:53] Henry5: don't have to worry about those packages. They are installed by default. [05:54] really? [05:54] the server given [05:54] 1. [05:54] dragon_: openssh isn't installed by default, at least, not in 8.04.... [05:54] losher: openssh-client was installed by default. I'll confirm in a sec. [05:54] url to make sftp with server, 2. the username, 3. Password NO password required, 4 A public file [05:55] I tried using the winscp and filezilla [05:55] dragon_: actually I withdraw my remark. The *server* is not installed by default... [05:55] it works with the public key file which provided === [1]Sergeant_Pony is now known as Sergeant_Pony [05:56] when i want to uninstall a .run file can i just delete the directory [05:57] Xodiac13: totally depends on what the .run installer did. [05:57] want help with frets on fire !!! [05:57] ive installed woflenstien enemy territory [05:57] Do you guys feel comfortable using KDE v4 as compared to v3.5 ? [05:57] and i just want to uninstall it [05:57] Guest40885: no you dont its a bad game [05:57] Xodiac13, Method of install ? [05:57] ive looked at the forums and i just need help personally do i dont mess anything up [05:57] it was [05:57] R0ncoToke: ive toyed with kde4 - its gotten more and more useable every month.. but i still use gnome more for now. [05:58] Xodiac13, unintall et or delete the .run? [05:58] lol [05:58] uninstall et [05:58] it's a good one just shut up a little [05:58] Xodiac13, One line please! [05:58] it's a good one just shut up a little [05:58] chmod +x et-linux-2.60.x86.run [05:58] its something like that [05:58] Dr_willis you ever try xfce ? [05:58] Xodiac13: with stuff like that - its a good idea to run the installer/install the game to the users home directory. not the system (dont run the .run as root) i think it just copies everything to one single directory. and you could just delete that dir. [05:59] SnakDoc: yep. dident like some parts of it. if i want minimal i use jwm + rox filer [05:59] SnakDoc, How is xfce ? [05:59] how do i delete it [05:59] though i dont want it to mess anything up [05:59] ive checked the synaptics package manager [05:59] and nothin [05:59] Xodiac13: find out where it installed to.. delete directory it installed to.. it will NOT be in synaptics [05:59] Xodiac13: the .run stuff totally bypasses synaptic [05:59] and then im good its gone [06:00] Guest40885: i installed it from the add/remove no problems whats wrong with it? [06:00] how do i search it [06:00] R0ncoToke i never tried it thats why i was asking about it i use gnome at moment didn't like kde was slow to me [06:00] Xodiac13, it's only 200-300 meg base install do you really need that back? [06:00] yeah [06:00] lol [06:00] i dont paly it [06:00] i cant [06:00] Xodiac13: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:00] cause it ask permision [06:00] ... [06:00] SnakDoc, I was disappointed with KDE v4. [06:00] to play the game and doesnt save my profile [06:00] Xodiac13: a nifty little 'gpl steam type program' i found --> http://en.djl-linux.org/ makes installing some games (safely to the users home directory) nice and fun and easy.. [06:01] Why does Firefox not run in KDE/4 at all? It has my bookmarks and for some reason Konqueror has trouble with Facebook [06:01] is there anything like "shelf" or will let me zoom out the desktop and also work with the windows? [06:01] its called dgl right [06:01] R0ncoToke i never could get my wireless to connect and everything seems very slugish i like things to be instant :) [06:01] SnakDoc, :D [06:02] Dr_willis: so all i have to do is delete the directory right [06:02] Xodiac13: you could reinstall it (run the installer as the user) or see if djl has it. I was really impressed with djl [06:02] Xodiac13: i think so. you could rerun the .run and see if it has an uninstall option [06:02] R0ncoToke you ever try xfce ? [06:02] Dr_willis: and it will install it just fine with no permission doing the game and will save my profile [06:02] must not be anything yet. [06:03] SnakDoc, Not the new version. I just happen to know a friend who use xfce. [06:03] does ubuntu come with a mail server is thats just the server version? [06:03] what works best for running freebsd in a virtual machine? I've tried virtualbox, and it seems to having problems. [06:03] dayofswords: you could install one on the desktop system if you wanted [06:03] hi [06:03] i wasnt planning to just wondering [06:04] R0ncoToke they like it ? the speed difference noticable ? [06:04] * R0ncoToke is so in love with GNOME that he would start developing it. [06:04] SnakDoc, Ill have to ask. [06:05] R0ncoToke: actually add in features that people want! :) but are too 'complex' for them.. Like.. err... 'screen saver configuration!' [06:05] I was wondering if someone can point me to the right direction. [06:05] renic: all the bsds seem to run fine in vmware, fwiw.... [06:05] Dr_willis, :D [06:05] R0ncoToke: is there a way I can re-install/reset Gnome in case I or an application has made some display change that's caused it to not boot like this? [06:05] how do i install djl [06:05] pat_: ask your question and wait [06:06] it doesnt have a confige file or make [06:06] Xodiac13: read and follow directions at http://en.djl-linux.org/?q=node/19 [06:06] dayofswords: plenty of choices for a mail server: exim, postfix, sendmail, qmail. All about equally impossible to configure.... [06:06] ThatBoogieman, Which version of Ubuntu ? [06:06] 8.04 Hardy Heron [06:06] thank you [06:06] losher: thanks [06:07] ThatBoogieman, sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop [06:07] Xodiac13: extract it to some dir.. (like djl) cd to the dir.. run the app.. I think you need to install the python-qt4 package first however. [06:07] losher thanks for the examples though i'm not planning to install on [06:07] one just remeber reading that somewhere [06:07] when I compile the kernel the device modules compiles on my desktop kernel. But won't compile on a pre-comfigured kernel [06:07] YO [06:07] ThatBoogieman, I am not sure as it it will solve your problem. [06:08] Dr_willis: how do i do that [06:08] Dr_willis: and how do i run the djl.sh [06:08] Xodiac13: do what? install stuff? use the package maanger, search [06:08] i have installed windows on a spare parition on my ubuntu computer. so now it always boots into windows.. [06:08] Dr_willis: okay sorry [06:08] Xodiac13: run stuff cd to the dir ./whatever.sh you DID run a .run earlier.. same thing. [06:08] do i just run the ubuntu live cd.. moun the hard drive.. [06:08] then reinstall grub? [06:09] windows clears you boot leader evilly [06:09] i have got a php indent script for vim. How do i install it? [06:09] so there must be a way? or do i just reinstall all and then install ubuntu after? [06:09] that sucks. [06:09] YUM, Tar.bz, rpm, dev: Whats the difference? [06:09] deb* [06:09] stowaway, http://www.sorgonet.com/linux/grubrestore/ [06:10] Dr_willis: so now when i run it it will automattically install programs for me [06:10] dravekx: some are 'package' manager packages.. some are just archives [06:10] dayofswords, best to address whom your talking to as the channel is busy [06:10] Dr_willis: and uninstall [06:10] Xodiac13: if you tell it to.. it can. [06:10] pat_: ask question and wait, if anyone can help they will, ask again if no response after 5 mins or so [06:10] Xodiac13: run it and try it... [06:10] k [06:10] for some reson i cant use vlc to watch a dvd disc [06:10] okay cool . i was right. thanx [06:10] Xodiac13: it had issues over the week end with some servers being down.. but the forums says its working now. [06:11] thats good [06:11] hi , i have a bunch of ubuntu-hardys behind a router- all on the same subnet, i was wondering if there is an easy wayto communicate between them , without having to set up accouns (a la MSN, skype etc)? [06:12] klen, a little more specific, any TCP/IP client/server type of software will 'communicate' [06:12] Xodiac13: check out 'NumptyPhysics' :) [06:12] durt, i mean something more user friendly, like an IM [06:12] k1en, See if http://directory.fsf.org/project/ejabberd/ suits your need. [06:12] When I compile the kernel on my desktop the device module compiles. But on a pre-configured kernel for an arm arch. the device module won't compile [06:12] Dr_willis: nice thanks [06:12] vlc wont play a dvd and gives these errors http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/222401/ [06:12] how do I find out the sudo code to install a certain program? like if i want to install flashplayer? [06:12] bastid_razor: Still around? http://pastebin.com/fa659ef8 Is my current xorg.conf. I have 173 nvidia drivers installed, but glx isn't working. glxinfo gives "GLX missing". http://pastebin.com/f589d5429 is the Xorg.0.log file that mentions GLX failing. Ideas? [06:13] R0ncoToke, thanks [06:13] Do I need to include schema file other than the default 4 to include aliases to ldap server the default four in my case are core.schema ,cosine.schema ,nis.schema and inetorgperson.schema [06:13] klen, there's some irc type client/sever stuff in the repos.

[06:14] Dr_willis: thank you [06:15] hmm [06:15] I have just installed ubuntu nbr on my new aspire one [06:15] for some reason i cant open my cd/dvd play says "cannot mount" [06:15] b0nn: i use that also. :) [06:15] ok. I downloaded the tar.bz file of flash player and extracted it to my home directory. how do I install it? [06:15] heh, I'm thinking I might install kde :D [06:16] dravekx: there is the flash player pacakges in the packatge manager - you dont need to download the tar.gz [06:16] !flash [06:16] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [06:16] hmm [06:16] b0nn: issue i have ith the netbooks is the 'short' screens can make some things awkward [06:17] Do I need to include schema file other than the default 4 to include /etc/aliases to ldap server the default four in my case are core.schema ,cosine.schema ,nis.schema and inetorgperson.schema It is giving me an error saying invalid " ADD Entry Invalid attribute syntax" [06:17] I cannot tab between channels, I end up tabbing between consoles :( [06:17] oh b0nn, I noticed that today [06:17] that was annoying amirite [06:17] b0nn: i also disabled the netbook remix funny gui and use the normal gnome one [06:17] Interphase: and some :) [06:17] Dr_willis: sounds suspiciously like what I'm goiong to do :D [06:18] Dr_willis, how do I install it? or how do I find out what is available in the package manager? [06:18] it wont let me delete the directory [06:18] dayofswords: type group are you a member of the cdrom group? [06:18] enemy territory i have to be root [06:18] dravekx: apt, synaptic, or your favourite package manager [06:18] cdrom group? [06:18] dayofswords: type group in a term [06:18] dravekx: read that url the bot gave.. and i normally install the 'ubuntu-restricted-extras' package on a clean install - it grabs flash and java and some fonts.. and other bits [06:19] (new to linux) [06:19] R0ncoToke: didn't work. It reinstalled but I still have the weird white box in the upper left and nothing else booting. [06:19] haiiiiiiii [06:19] b0nn: check the forums for the netbook remix stuff also. thers a few bugs/fixs for it with some netbooks that help a lot. [06:19] awesome, thanks [06:19] I do love having ubuntu on this though [06:19] bucky, what do you mean? [06:20] dayofswords: type group in a terminal [06:20] Dr_willis: how do i delete a directory if i cant get into the file system [06:20] bash: group: command not found [06:20] R0ncoToke, this ejabbered thing requires a user name /account/password thing ? [06:20] when I boot up, the sound loops in the background. Is there a fix? [06:20] Do I need to include schema file other than the default 4 to include /etc/aliases to ldap server the default four in my case are core.schema ,cosine.schema ,nis.schema and inetorgperson.schema It is giving me an error saying invalid " ADD Entry Invalid attribute syntax" [06:21] Xodiac13: Huh? you find the directory.. and use the delete feture of the file manager.. or the terminal.. 'rm -rf /path/to/directory' (use sudo if its a system dir.. OR just dont worry about it.. its not a huge install anyway) [06:21] dayofswords: type groups with an s.. sorry, you need to be a member of the cdrom group to access the cdrom [06:21] bucky: cdrom is there [06:21] Dr_willis: i dont know what the patch is to it in the terminal i found it i just cant find it in the terminal [06:22] i cant go to the termianl [06:22] filesystem: [06:22] when I boot up, the sound loops in the background. Is there a fix? [06:22] Xodiac13: and whats the path? [06:22] /usr/local/games [06:22] Xodiac13: you would 'cd /usr/local/games' [06:22] Xodiac13: from a terminal [06:23] Xodiac13: and if this is all bash 'voodoo' then you might want to just leave it alone.. untill you learn some more linux.

I don't like Konqueror and it can't seem to even load Facebook. [06:24] ThatBoogieman, sudo apt-get install firefox 3.5 [06:24] Xodiac13: since that is a system directory.. you will need to use 'sudo rm -rf WHATEVERTHEDIRECTORYWAS' [06:24] Xodiac13: and dont make a typo. :) [06:24] dayofswords: mount /media/cdrom; ls /media/cdrom [06:24] ThatBoogieman, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=110353 [06:24] k thanks [06:25] how long should it take to make the kernel-image package? [06:25] bucky:mount: can't find /media/cdrom in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab [06:25] when I boot up, the sound loops in the background. Is there a fix? [06:25] Anyone have an idea why installing nvidia-glx-180 removes xorg? [06:25] sweet, found that [06:25] thank you Dr_willis: have a good one thank you very much [06:25] now, does anyone know if the webcam works? [06:26] I just unzipped a driver, how do I get it running in terminal? [06:26] bucky: i do have an odd cd/dvd drive, it removable and can be replaced with a floppy drive at the push of a button [06:26] b0nn: i use the 'cheese' progam to test webcams [06:27] dayofswords: hmm.. i don't know then === nabeel is now known as Guest68803 [06:28] b0nn, sudo apt-get install cheese [06:28] Dr_willis: it works!!!!!! [06:28] I like cheese. It's yummie. [06:28] why did ubuntu install cheeze on my system by default [06:28] Bilbo_Baggins, lol [06:28] Okay: thanks, it comes on the img I d/l [06:28] b0nn, ....really? which version is that?

[06:33] dravekx: opt is owned by root, you'll need sudo, however I suggest you don't download and extract lampp and just install the apache2/mysql-server/php5 packages from synaptic [06:33] dravekx: no Linux based OS will allow non-prvilged users to access root file systems such as /opt [06:33] ikonia, I have no idea what synaptic is. can you enlighten me?

[06:38] simon389, i don't think thats possible. it is what it is [06:38] simon389: the first one is that speedstep is enabled and you're not doing anything to make it run fast, the second is that the monitoring applet is not picking up the speed correctly, in which case it's a red herring [06:38] --- Log opened Sat Jul 18 17:46:06 2009 [06:38] 17:46 [msg(elky)] Oh, elky.....I'm sober now.

[06:45] simon389: what video card/ram have you got [06:45] you dont need lamp bro, with such a easy to go package manager that distro has, you could just easly install apache/mysql and php with just a few commands [06:45] nafta: lamp is php5/mysql-server/apache - he does want "lamp" [06:46] Radeon.

The light goes on/off when I hit the 'NumLock' key, however typing numbers on the keypad doesn't work?? [06:50] Pricey: that's most odd [06:50] Pricey: sorry - not you [06:50] is there a way to script a mouse click (on an icon in the notification tray) via a keyboard shortcut? I want a shortcut to restore a particular program that's minimized in the tray [06:50] porjo: that's most odd [06:51] Windows proved that it was a HUGE security risk to have administrator profiles open all the time. Linux sought to fix that by enabling admin to be open ONLY when you NEED it (via sudo), and I think it's reasonable. Quick access is slightly (but not totally) negated for more security. [06:51] sudo is garbage.. [06:52] It's far better than doing nothing. [06:52] nafta: don't use it then - Drumroll was just explaining as a response to his question [06:52] nafta, if sudo is garbage, what are you? [06:52] nothing will work without sudo [06:52] Okay: you can enable the root account, or change your file system permissions, both are not recommended by ubuntu === nathan is now known as Guest2015 [06:53] and Linux fixed that, by enabling admin to be open ONLY when you NEED (via root access) not via sudo, [06:53] Okay: I meant that they could have done it like Windows and open Linux to a host of security problems just as a result. *shrugs* [06:53] ikonia: im not talking to you. [06:53] dont care about your opinion either. [06:53] nafta, lol? [06:54] nafta: then keep to the channel topic [06:55] oh..didnt know i was off topic. [06:56] didnt know i was talking about my vacations..

[06:57] LLStarks: sudo apt-get remove --purge kubuntu-desktop [06:58] that's only the meta package [06:58] not the things it installs [06:59] LLStarks reinstall would be easiest. [06:59] nvm [06:59] this works [06:59] http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome [06:59] LLStarks: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[07:17] bucky: huh? I'm not sure emerald is even available any more [07:18] You can still get and use emerald, just no support for it [07:18] bucky: oh.. nevermind.. it's still in the repos [07:18] Slart: thanks for your help [07:18] I thik I was able to retreive compiz using package mngr...lemme check [07:18] How to get gnome-packagekit for 9.04 [07:18] any one know where I can find some good fluidsynth(qsynth) soundfonts at???

[07:21] andrew__: compiz is already installed, by default, in jaunty. You just have to activate it in system, preferences, appearance. [07:21] bucky: I'd rather not downgrade my driver [07:21] quizme: free [07:21] bucky: I'd rather they just fixed the one's that there [07:21] OttifantSir: thanks that seems to work for all *.avi now [07:21] I have a Compaq C700 running Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope and I can't make my webcam work, can anyone help. [07:21] richardcavell: sorry i couldn't be of more help [07:21] andrew__: it's called "Desktop Effects" [07:21] urthmover: Should do it for all files. [07:21] bucky: that's okay. It's a shame they don't fix it because the Intel GMA950 chipset is rather common [07:21] i know [07:22] OttifantSir: yes it does now...strange that the other places doesn't seem to work as you'd expect [07:22] bucky: Fedora 11 won't even boot on GMA950 [07:22] richardcavell: it's one of the most asked about problems in here [07:22] hey peeps i got a question.. i changed something and my output of digital audio has turned off on my mediacenter(ubuntu) any ideas on where it could be at [07:22] Quizme: systerm-admin-system monitor and use the resource tab is the easiest way to determine your current RAM usage. [07:22] i checked all the mixers [07:22] not there, and i tried the sound system tool not there either... [07:22] are you serious?? I had that the whole time! Been beating my head against a wall for two days with this...downloading the rest of compiz including emerald right now using synaptic [07:23] urthmover: It should work for all other files too, was what I meant, but.. AVI-files is a good start IMO. [07:23] iknow there was something special to it just dont memeber what now [07:23] OttifantSir: ah ok I see what you mean...I'll make sure I do it that way for any other filetypes that I'd like to change the default viewing application with [07:24] slart: thanks man.*blushing from newbie stupidity* I needed to hear that.

I use ATi too. [07:34] this is p4 dell gx 270 [07:34] Alex___: Biggest problem I've had with it has been with it cutting off the titlebar of Moovida. You seem to have had a bad experience is all. I run Compiz on Intel 945GM with 128MB shared RAM, and have no lagging whatsoever. I actually have LESS processor use with it than Metacity. [07:34] I noticed when trying to use GParted to shrink away all the unpartitioned space in an extended partition that it would leave 7-8 megs in there. Is this because of that "round to cylinders" option or is osmething else causing it? [07:34] Alex___: well, compiz is slow yes, but my comp refuses too play flash no matter WHAT i do, java works great, and i belive that screensavers are a waste of clock cycles [07:34] control + alt + delete doesnt seem to work on ubuntu jaunty... ideas? [07:34] not sure what video i have [07:34] gartral: I'm a sucker for the matrix screensaver =) [07:34] I get "E: context.c: waitpid(): No child processes" a lot. It seems to be related to sound.

[07:35] Alex__:Maybe because I've had NO problems with Compiz on my nVida comp. The problem is that ATI just doesn't want to play well with Linux. [07:35] Is there a reason why Wine leaves behind the folder structure it creates? [07:35] Mr_Jfrsn: #crunch|bang but there ussually dead [07:35] gartral: The only one I had preinstalled was the one that has the green symbols going down that then move closer to make the black spaces look like faces [07:35] Threetimes: why are you trying to build that when tilp and tilp2 are in the repos? [07:35] i do have other hdd with with ubuntu installed [07:35] Alex___: ahh, the opengl one [07:36] Drumroll: I agree =( I can't get dual monitor support or compiz running smoothly with ATI [07:36] arooni: What function of control+alt+delete are you trying to duplicate? Closing a program? Stopping a process? [07:36] i will not go back to winsdows [07:36] hmm thanks [07:36] i cant get used to openbox [07:36] its awkward [07:36] bucky: I installed tilp2 using APT, but when I run it I get the error [07:36] arooni: sudo gedit /etc/sysctl.config kernel.sysrq = 1 iirc [07:36] been away from windows xp almost 2 months [07:36] Anybody?

[07:38] how do i change directories within the terminal? [07:38] CAn't I make it put it like, between the extended and primary partition? [07:38] may caused it [07:38] oh nvm i got it. :) [07:39] arooniyou mean ctrl+alt+backspace,you need dontzapit i think [07:39] reactos will handle legacy windows appls [07:39] Cyber_Akuma: I have no idea. I just told you what partitioning does for me. === _MrsApple_ is now known as _Apple_ [07:39] heh [07:39] an that crap [07:40] Alex___: Compiz works fine on my ATI laptop, but a bit slower so I have to turn it off when certain applications are running. But on my nVida desktop, it flies with NO problems at all. A lot of it is that ATI as a company just doesn't seem to be as willing to play ball with Linux as nVida was. *shrugs* It's a shame and the Linux community has tried to get on their backs to write better and more useable drivers for Linux OSes. [07:40] windows 7 is gonna be a nightmare [07:40] why? [07:40] im loving it so far [07:40] for people [07:40] Windows 7 is gonna be windows, I'll stay out of its way... [07:40] Umm, its getting praised everywhere, even the creator of ubuntu said he liked it :P [07:41] alot of more controling of the pc [07:41] Its not going to be another Vista [07:41] That's scary [07:41] Threetimes: that's weird.. hey is your calculator arm based? [07:41] alot of more controling of the pc <--- huh? [07:41] I think what Microsofts plan was to release vista as a way to lower everyones expectations, then release 7 so everyone thinks it's amazing ;) [07:41] why everyone gripes about reactos i wonder [07:41] bucky: z80, it's the TI84+SE [07:41] lol Alex___ [07:41] erikk71: I've tried it in a VM, and it seems better than Vista, but that's not really saying much, so.... I'll keep it in there and look in on it from time to time to keep up my skills, but I'll never again have a Microsoft OS on my machines. [07:41] that makes no business sense [07:42] Honestly, I don't see what everybody's deal with Vista is [07:42] they make more progress than most third party oses [07:42] I think its just pure internet bad press [07:42] I get "E: context.c: waitpid(): No child processes" a lot. It seems to be related to sound. Any fixes? [07:42] Cyber_Akuma: I'm just messing because as far as I'm concerned, XP is still by far the best windows OS [07:42] haiku ois a joke [07:42] heh [07:42] Well, you should try the RC if you have a spare hdd or pc handy [07:42] I did... and now I preordered win7 [07:43] course... there was a very good preorder sale that ended too, $50 [07:43] Cyber_Akuma: I have tried it. And I think it's way better than vista [07:43] Cyber_Akuma: Infidel! ;-) [07:43] but prefer xp? [07:43] Threetimes: i think you might have to be a member of plugdev [07:43] it gets wose OttifantSir [07:43] Cyber_Akuma: Still prefer xp so far... maybe the full version [07:43] only other distro i tried was pc bsd [07:43] I also have a mac mini [07:43] XD [07:43] Threetimes: type groups and see if you are [07:43] pc bsd is ok [07:43] Though I got it because I love gadgets and tech [07:43] and it was on sale [07:43] XD [07:43] been using windows for a decade, learnign linux, I thought might as well learn osx too [07:43] how do i disable awn in kde only? [07:44] bucky: i am [07:44] i tried linux in 2000 [07:44] Does anyone know where the option is about VOB file splitting in dvd::rip? I can't seem to find it... I want the VOB all in one file, not split in 1 gig sections [07:44] it was ok [07:44] i think win98 < win2k < winxp < vista < windows 7 [07:44] Well, the problem with staying with xp is, it's 64bit support is almost nonexsistant [07:44] infidel2s: exactly [07:44] they have progressively got better, aside from that whole windows ME thing [07:44] thats how I feel too infidel2s [07:44] Cyber_Akuma: Yeah, that is one bad thing about XP [07:44] the distro was very friendly [07:44] Vista was more stable than XP was in terms of having fewer crashes. it just... Ran slower because it was much more bloated. Ugh. Windows 7 is SUPPOSED to have the XP speed with the Vista stability. Only time will tell though... So far, I love Ubuntu though. And with Compiz, I can get all of the fance Windows Aero features without slowing my computer to a crawl. [07:45] Cyber_Akuma: Mac is Mac. I love the dock (have AWN for it here), but I don't see myself buying $1000 worth of hardware for the nice price of $4000.... [07:45] heh [07:45] I got it for $300 [07:45] hi [07:45] a 2ghz dual core model moac mini [07:45] steve jobs did a lot of LSD [07:45] it was a sale [07:45] :) [07:45] Cyber_Akuma: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:45] Drumroll: I've used XP since the third month it was out... my computer has crashed exactly 1 time. [07:45] My friend (a Ubuntu/KDE user) has recently installed Windows 7. He says it's almost better than Linux. [07:45] hahaha [07:45] apple will never go up or down [07:45] just bob? [07:45] Drumroll: Only time I've reinstalled windows was when I did a hardware upgrade [07:46] it pc way to expensive [07:46] ... I guess that joke was a little too bscure, apple bobbing [07:46] Oh... [07:46] The only time this system (win2k) crashed on me was [07:46] I just didn't get who you were saying that to. lol [07:46] Threetimes: does this require a kernel module to be loaded ... like modprobe tilp2 or something apt-cache show tilp2 [07:46] 1. when I had a damaged ram module [07:46] how to work use anjutha editor? [07:46] 2. when I had a bad usb card [07:46] mac os x is nice interface [07:46] Windows really became stable with 2k and up [07:46] hello, i've just finished to install my compiled 2.6.30 kernel, but when i go to the grub there is not the 2.6.30, only 2.6.28! why? how can I put in there the newest too? ty [07:46] 98 was a crashy nightmare for me [07:46] Cyber_Akuma: No, I thought it reflected very well on the state of Apple, and I took away from it also a very bad Windows-experience: BOB. [07:47] bucky: there's a tiglusb module, i'll load it now [07:47] lol, I was wondering if people would think I was talking about that too [07:47] win2000 is security risk [07:47] better off running xp [07:47] I am thinking of upgrading to xp, but [07:47] its a hassle [07:47] I hace a TON of crap installed here [07:47] What pisses me off is I just got this Gigabyte GA-EP45T-UD3P and it won't boot from a usb key o.O [07:48] .... and a ton of broken stuff, so a upgrade is out of the question, id need a freash install [07:48] is there any way, in Ubuntu/GNOME, where if I create a menu within a menu to create organization, can I drag or move other items into the new sub-menu [07:48] erikk71: until XP goes EOL, then it will become a security risk too [07:48] (or would I have to manually re-do my whole menu) [07:48] EVERY single component of this pc is either at it's maximum capacity, or using a workaround to go BEYOND it's maximum capacity, or bottlenechked [07:48] :( I need a new pc [07:48] bucky: I do not have a tiglusb module [07:48] hello [07:48] Threetimes: http://lpg.ticalc.org/prj_usb/linux_install.html [07:48] Alex___: XP crashed a million and one times for me. And I've never once had a crash with Vista. However, XP was speedier. Microsoft is billing 7 as the best of XP and Vista rolled into one. People liked the snazzy features that Vista offered but disliked that it took so many resources just to run it. They liked XP's speed and how it was light on resources. 7 is an attempt to combine the two. [07:49] Cyber_Akuma: Yeah. you do. lol [07:49] how do i disable awn in kde only? [07:49] i need help [07:49] im surprised ubuntu has not created a distro that looks like mac osx [07:49] critical error [07:49] ! [07:49] Pentium 3 - 1.13ghz, 1 gig of PSC133 SDRAM, I need a PCI card to get USB 2.0.... and it still noyl goes at about 1/4th top USB 2.0 speeds, I need a pci card to read IDE drices above 132 gigs.... [07:49] PC133* [07:49] Uand: You need to tell us what's your problem. [07:49] i stuck with 640X320 resultion [07:49] and i cant change this! [07:49] hello again richardcavell [07:49] 640X480* [07:49] Drumroll: I've never had a crash with XP or Vista, but Vista runs slower. So I liked XP better. =P [07:49] erikk71: http://maketecheasier.com/turn-your-ubuntu-hardy-to-mac-osx-leopard/2008/07/23 === pizdets is now known as pizzledizzle [07:50] Alex___: don't quote me, but I heard crunchgear mention that win7 ran better than xp on some netbooks.... [07:50] Alex___: You never turned on your machine? [07:50] though MS IS aiming for netbooks with it so I wouldent be surprised [07:50] !ot [07:50] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [07:50] OttifantSir:huh? [07:50] roflparrot: hi [07:50] Especially since the install dvd is designed to be easy to put on a usb drive [07:50] i stuck with 640X480 resultion [07:50] and i cant change this! [07:51] Cyber_Akuma: I'm more of a desktop man ;) I love raw power =P [07:51] can I move items in the GNOME menu from one sub-menu to another? [07:51] ... [07:51] this IS a desktop [07:51] my laptop is the one im running windows/linux on.... and sadly more powerul [07:51] ?? [07:51] i stuck with 640X480 resultion [07:51] ?? [07:51] ok...how do i use the cube? [07:51] i stuck with 640X480 resultion [07:51] its a dual core 1.7ghz amd system with 4 gigs of ddr2 ram [07:51] Uand: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:51] I thought you were referring to one of those mini netbook thingamajigers? [07:51] did anyone waych british open [07:52] Oh === andrew_ is now known as Guest5394 [07:52] grawity: ? [07:52] Alex___: Maybe, but as I said, 7 is supposed to be the best of both in one. Only time will tell though. So far though, I'm digging Ubuntu because it'll do all the fancy stuff that 7 will with ease. The only POSSIBLE reason to switch back was if 7 was just SOOOO amazing that tons of people went back and Linux lost major support. But... I don't see that happening anytime soon. [07:52] Yeah, I though you were responding to my desktop specs [07:52] Does anyone know how to make dvd::rip make a VOB all in one file instead of splitting it into 1 gig segments? [07:52] think of it this way Drumroll [07:52] hello [07:52] epeople HAVE to upgrade soon from xp [07:52] need a little help using compriz [07:53] including major corporations [07:53] the chances of these going to linux or osx are low. ESPECIALLY corporations [07:53] Drumroll: Unfortunatly I can't get away from windows. I do all the Crysis and Witcher etc. All the newest games =P [07:53] especialyl with 64bit apps === FrozenFire is now known as Adun [07:53] they won't be goign to vista [07:53] don't know how to get the Cube effect to do its thing [07:53] i got anyyoed with virus problem [07:53] how can i detect my Screen ? [07:53] Right now my Xubuntu livecd is doing something very dangerous [07:53] andrew__: In the Cube settings should be a tab for keyboard shortcuts. [07:54] moving, resisizing left, and resizing right my vista partition at the same time XD [07:54] wat u mean dangerous [07:54] ok...cool...brb [07:54] bucky: Since I do not have a tiglusb module, how do I install it? [07:54] Alex___: You said you never had a crash with Windows. In my own experience, from Windows 3.0 to Windows 7, you can't have turned on your machine. [07:54] Cyber_Akuma: Now... don't quote ME on this... but according to one of my teachers... He thinks Linux will end up winning because it runs a high percentage of servers. And he thinks everything is moving to cloud computing which means it all goes to the linux servers. [07:54] u need to have spare hard drive [07:54] Threetimes: i'm not sure that's the missing element... [07:54] servers are mostly linux, yes [07:54] but, servers are a small percentage of computrrs [07:55] why don't you guys take it to ubuntu-offtopic or #windows if its avail. [07:55] OttifantSir: I've only used XP and Vista. and I have had one crash on XP... and I never turn my comp off lol [07:55] Cyber_Akuma: I have read on oldnewthing that some companies still have 16-bit apps written in Visual Basic, or even DOS-based apps, that they absolutely must need to work on the OS they use. [07:55] Alex___: WINE FTW! I've been playing a ton of the latest games on my Linux system VIA WINE and even better than on Windows to boot! :P [07:55] majority of home systems AND majority of workstations (which likely make up the biggest amoutn of pcs) are windows [07:55] servers i thought alot were freebsd [07:55] Cyber_Akuma: We're talking about when everything moves to cloud computing [07:55] hello / [07:55] ? [07:55] anyone can help me ? [07:56] Threetimes: look at this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=912717 [07:56] Drumroll: Hmm... I'll have to try it out more. [07:56] It will never be a 100% trasition [07:56] Uand: What's the problem? [07:56] Uand: Please ask your question again, with good grammar. [07:56] freebsd still handles yahoo an msn [07:56] I'm using an Amiga [07:56] OttifantSir: I can confirm that Windows XP was quite stable for me. (I care about what I install.) [07:56] nomad77: Yeah, you're right. Will shut up on this now. But a LITTLE ranting now and then is good. Back to helping people... :-D [07:56] Because my Ubuntu PC crapped itself [07:56] ubuntu cant detect my Screen [07:56] roflparrot: Dude, this is #ubuntu. Good grammar is over there in ##linux [07:56] Uand: try looking in system,restricted drivers maybe. whats your graphics card [07:56] cgi studios, dev studios, and serious gamers will still want their own system [07:56] GeForce 5200 fx [07:56] which will likely be more powerful than their share of the cloud [07:56] I agree [07:56] And the Windows partition was overrun by a virus [07:57] But the average consumer [07:57] it works some mintus ago [07:57] i use the ccms [07:57] Cammy: Like, a physical Amiga? [07:57] which is what? 80%? 90%? [07:57] by then I dont see the point of a computer [07:57] Yeah, a 17 year old A1200 [07:57] for the average consumer [07:57] they will just be using cloud cellphones [07:57] grawity: good point [07:57] Cammy: Hmm. Do you think I could make IRC work on WinUAE? [07:57] It's the only way I can chat while I wait for the two-hour long installation of Ubuntu [07:57] Yeah easy [07:57] the tegra chip costs $99 and can do 1080p video, had dual cpu and dual gpu, tegra phoens are coming out THIS YEAR [07:58] Download AmiKit and it has WookieChat preinstalled [07:58] Cyber_Akuma: That's on a PHONE?? [07:58] why u dont answer? [07:58] there are already digicams in japan with picorojectors that can almost project a 50 inch 720p image [07:58] does anyone know how i can set awn to be used only in gnome? [07:58] Alex___: WINE makes the programs think that they are running on a Windows OS eve though they're not so that you can load them onto your Linux system and play them from it. And since at this point most Linux OSes are far lighter in resource requirements than Windows 7, it'll allow you to play your games better than ever before. [07:58] I 100% assure you [07:58] IT's like a Workbench setup for UAE. Or there's AROS, the open-source AmigaOS [07:58] why u dont answer? [07:58] Uand: try this http://www.howtoforge.com/enabling-compiz-fusion-on-an-ubuntu-9.04-desktop-nvidia-geforce-fx-5200 [07:58] Cammy: And if I want to use the real Workbench? [07:58] Cyber_Akuma: I think that the money makers will always find ways to make the world dependent upon them [07:58] it has pics [07:58] n less than 5 years there will be, out on the consumer market, cellphones that cna project probably 42 inch screne 720p images [07:58] Drumroll: I know about wine, but the 3 programs I tried on it a while back didn't work, so I never touched it again. [07:59] theres yoru cloud computer :) [07:59] one sec Alex___ [07:59] Cyber_Akuma: And I thought the new enV3 was nice =P [07:59] have two iunteresting links to show you about that [07:59] Yeah, you can install it all yourself if you know your way around, just download the Workbench ADF images [07:59] no!! [07:59] my prblem is that my PC cant detect my Screen!! [07:59] Hmm, I seem to have Workbench 3.1 [07:59] amiga needs to go x86 or 64 [07:59] thats why it uses 640X480 resulution [08:00] My Ubuntu 9 CD has an error on ONE file, so it refuses to install, so I have to use my Ubuntu 8 CD :( [08:00] Yeah, 3.1 is sufficient [08:00] join ##php [08:00] Uand, have you tried googling the problem on the Ubuntu forum? [08:00] thats wat 90 percernt of desktop users are running [08:00] * grawity googles for LinuxUAE [08:00] bucky: that's definately not my problem. He doesn't get any error like mine: "tilp: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libticables2.so.1: undefined symbol: usb_debug" [08:00] most issues are covered in threads [08:01] Uand: so install the nvidia driver.the link shows how to enable it ignore the compiz stuff [08:01] brb [08:01] erikk71: 90% of desktop users are using 640x480 still? [08:01] Cyber_Akuma: That's on a PHONE?? <--- this tegra1 chip will be for phones AND netbooks, it uses max 1.25 watts of power, usually under 1 watt, it can power an mp3 player for DAYS on a single charge. And on top of this, its dual cpu, dual gpu, and several otehr processors. Tegra based phones will be out by late 2009...... and it gets better :) [08:01] tegra2 has been announced for 2010, twice as powerful [08:01] i cant goole [08:01] i cant use it [08:01] I guess it must include PCs in poor countries [08:01] i mean use intel x86 cpu [08:01] with this resulution [08:01] !! [08:01] Oh [08:01] not power pc [08:01] http://www.crunchgear.com/2009/06/19/we-ask-what-is-tegra-and-why-does-it-matter/ [08:01] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNu4CluFOcw [08:01] Cyber_Akuma: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:01] Alex___: Games have had more success on WINE than any other type of programs so far. I think they even have a version of WINE specifically target at games, but I forget what it's called at the moment. I ran Left4Dead on Ubuntu here, just a day ago. :P [08:01] two very interesting links about the tegra :) === Adun is now known as FrozenFire [08:02] I'm using a Motorola 68030 50Mhz [08:02] Uand, that is unfortunate and amusing.

[08:02] Threetimes: you should /join #ModernCalcs there's only 5 people in there right now but they'd prolly know the answer right off if they are awake [08:03] erikk71: By the time 2038 comes, most of us will be using completely-64-bit stuff. [08:03] do u mean [08:03] dravekx: If you opened it with gedit, open this way instead: gksu gedit /opt/blah/blah [08:03] unix will be no more [08:03] ahhh. kk.

(Or if you install 3.5 manually.) [08:07] slart...you still her? [08:07] here even [08:07] andrew__: sure [08:08] shiretoko [08:08] any advice for how to use the cube?

[08:11] Cyber_Akuma: I know, right? lol... 8.10 just worked for me... 9.04 has taken more work... lol [08:12] I have another system that is still 8.04 [08:12] because 8.10 is rpoted to not work on it..... [08:12] i have debian live cd with lxde desktop [08:12] Cyber_Akuma: I can't wait until Google comes out with Chrome for Linux [08:12] dunno about 9.04 [08:12] erikk71: Beta is due 1st October - Full release schedule is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KarmicReleaseSchedule [08:12] hello world [08:12] I still use 8.10. Laziness more than anything else. [08:12] Alex___: they ported it from linux [08:12] it's called konqueror ;) [08:12] I still say Google Chrome OS is a mistake [08:12] they should just make a pc version of android [08:13] nah. [08:13] I'll try it when it comes out... but IDK about it. [08:13] heh [08:13] Alex___, There is a chrome for linux. [08:13] I burned a livecd of an interesting project [08:13] nevyn: IMHO, Konqueror is like Internet Explorer of Linux. Fugly, and is integrated to the file manager. [08:13] Google Android LiveCD x86 ver 0.02 [08:13] XD [08:13] Alex___: There is a release of chromium-browser which is what the chrome browser is based on in a ppa [08:13] question : using jaunty (up-to-date), is there a way to drag a window to another desktop? (i.e. I click on window's title bar, drag it to the right, and when it reaches the edge, hop, it goes to the next desktop on the right) [08:13] Are you talking about the pre-alpha one R0ncoToke? [08:13] woudlent boot on my laptop but strangely booted fien on my mac mini [08:13] Cyber_Akuma, I second you. [08:13] I use a standard ubuntu with gnome. [08:13] Tengu: Doesn't it do that automatically? [08:13] grawity: nope :( [08:14] and I didn't find where to set it up [08:14] I cannot find where to assign keys to launch cube [08:14] Cyber_Akuma: So... how exactly does it work going from like 8.10 to 9.04 to 9.10 etc? [08:14] Tengu i can do that in 8.10 [08:14] grawity: not in kde4 ;) [08:14] I know xfce can do it, but we have to activate this behaviour. [08:14] gnome [08:14] roflparrot: with compiz maybe ? [08:14] Tengu: If you use Compiz, the compizconfig-settings-manager app can edit pretty much all settings. [08:14] 8.04 I didnt use much [08:14] Yeah with compiz [08:14] ... no wait [08:14] that was 7.10 [08:14] grawity: I prefere not to use it.... [08:14] 7.10 was a nightmare for me [08:14] compiz effects are so.... lame -.- [08:14] Alex___, I was talking about Chromium. [08:14] mandriva is joke [08:15] wifi, 3d card, sound, nothign worked [08:15] no matter what I tried [08:15] Tengu: You don't have to use any effects. [08:15] Cyber_Akuma: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:15] very slow installing [08:15] 8.04 added sound, and with 8.10, magically EVERYTHING worked, 3d rendering, wifi... it was awsome [08:15] grawity: mmm. will give it a try. which package do I have to install to set compiz behaviour ? [08:15] ......... then 9.04 broke 3d support again :( [08:15] <_Apple_> any ideas why the modelines I added aren't working? [08:15] Tengu: I just told you - compizconfig-settings-manager [08:15] grawity: thanks. [08:15] grawity is right, you can select any efects you like, such as dropping windows on new workspaces [08:16] hi. I've got some problems using gmailfs. Anyone knows it well ? [08:16] slart...again...sorry to bug you [08:16] Tengu: Btw, offtopic: If you want, you can use Xfce's xfwm on GNOME. [08:16] You don't need to select the glittering exit or whatever [08:16] andrew__: no worries [08:16] I cannot find where to enable keystrokes to make cube work [08:16] Cyber_Akuma: The only way I've ever had wi-fi without doing anything in Linux is if I plug an ethernet cable into a Linsys Wireless-G Game Adapter [08:17] * Cyber_Akuma wants a WinMo7 based tegra2 phone wth a picoprojector and wvga screen [08:17] my dreamphone :() [08:17] wifi worked out of the box with 8.10 [08:17] andrew__: Hmm. They might be in the Viewport Switcher plugin [08:17] Not on my card [08:17] brb [08:17] andrew__: Oh, and "Rotate Cube". [08:18] heh, im surprised how open Windows Mobile is on phones actually, I can overwrite and modify any file [08:18] I actually replaced the dialer on my old phone becuse I didnt like it [08:18] just replace phone.exe XD [08:18] im surprised minix is being developed [08:18] <_Apple_> any ideas why the modelines I added aren't working? [08:18] still [08:18] it crashes alot [08:18] btw, what do you think about ONlive? [08:19] I honestly think they ar elying, I dont see how thats physically possible [08:19] no wonder linux wrote linux kernel [08:19] how can I generate es_ES locales?

[08:19] wow [08:19] fslewl [08:19] haha [08:19] shit, so much crap is broken in ubuntu.. [08:20] im surprised mo has not forked minix [08:20] you think your ubuntu is bad [08:20] try my ubuntu 8.04 install on my ps3, now THATS broken [08:20] grawity: oh yeah. I didn't thought about it. [08:20] course, it dosen't help that im stuck at like 512x400 or whatever because I odnt have a hdtv [08:20] pygtk, gtk, locales, upstart with vmware tools, libnotify making icons look like crap [08:20] atheos was forked we have syllable os [08:20] should I continue? [08:20] each release is a total pain [08:20] is packages.ubuntu.com generally available via http? [08:21] mandrake was fork of redhat [08:21] sanmarcos: If you came here not for helping or for seeking help, please shut up and use (Debian|Mint|Slackware|Arch|whatever). [08:21] dub: Yes. [08:21] grawity, do you know if there is an outage? [08:21] moin [08:21] hello, just got kubuntu installed, shows my wlan card as unavailable, i put in the ssid, wep key, checked the auto-connect option, it's like i need it to search and connect now.... [08:21] hi :D does anybody know where i can download/install the package "libmozjs1d"? [08:21] I have to support ubuntu in my software, it is not helpful when you break all PyGTK applications by shipping a shit version of Python/PyGTK and... modify libnotify to break all the apps that depend on it [08:21] moin moin [08:21] thing will linux kernel u modify however u like as long as u release the changes [08:22] thats great thing about linux [08:22] you are only obliged to if you distribute the product [08:23] bsd license u do watever u want [08:23] your customers are entitled to the source [08:23] andrew__: ah.. sorry about that.. I don't get popups unless you put my nick somewhere in the message [08:23] is BSD on the wtfpl? [08:24] is anyone able to reach http://packages.ubuntu.com ? (im getting no response from more than one network) [08:24] Alex__: http://www.junauza.com/2008/12/yes-linux-can-run-crysis.html [08:24] wonders if atheos was strpped down version of linux kernel [08:24] andrew__: it's called keybindings.. somewhere in the cube plugin settings there should be a keybinding option [08:25] andrew__: the plugin is called "Rotate Cube".. it's in the Desktop section [08:25] andrew__: you'll probably need both Rotate Cube and Desktop Cube enabled [08:25] i realize now a days speed is big need [08:25] Hi there. [08:26] hi [08:26] has anyone had any virus problem [08:26] ok...both enabled...now to that keybinding [08:26] erikk71: virus problem with what? [08:26] on ubuntu [08:26] andrew__: in the "Rotate Cube" settings... go to the "Bindings" page/tab [08:26] hy [08:26] Whoa, what the heck? [08:26] i have a new keyboard === glitsj161 is now known as glitsj16 [08:27] i know there is virus scanner [08:27] and the £ is the sign at 3 instead of other [08:27] Um... I'm having a problem with NickServ. [08:27] what i cand do? [08:27] I can't seem to indentify with my username. [08:27] Guest45543: ask in #freenode [08:27] Thanks. Will do. [08:27] humpf... [08:27] How can I figure out what driver I'm using on my gfx card? [08:28] grawity: do you have a link on how to change gnome default WM ? [08:28] I guess I have to replace metacity [08:28] Tengu: Just enable "desktop effects" in the Appearance settings, it'll automatically enable Compiz. [08:28] erikk71: Avast! makes a virus scan program for Linux, but you're EXTREMELY unlikely to need such a scanner on a Linux-based OS for the time being. [08:28] grawity: don't want compiz in fact..... [08:28] Tengu: Why not? [08:28] Tengu in your terminal : sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [08:29] ! virus | erikk71 [08:29] erikk71: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [08:29] Guest11734: That will install the entire Xfce pack, not just Xfwm [08:29] using it makes me lose all my virtual desktops. [08:29] Guest11734: thanks. [08:29] Tengu: Compiz has virtual desktops too [08:29] grawity: yeah.... I know. but broken here, and all those effects, addons, plugins... even if I stop them all, it's heavier. [08:29] There are opened 6 Terminals in Guake. There is no GNOME Terminal open. Why does Ubuntu 9.04 13 processes 'bash'? 6 are 'stopped' and 7 'sleeping'. Does Guake need 2 processes 'bash' per TErminal? [08:30] Has anyone else here experienced rendering problems in Matlab on ubuntu? Any 3d figure ends up with a black background and some ghost versions of itself when I rotate it. Pretty much all text also gets garbled. I'm guessing it may be a driver issue, but I'm not sure. [08:30] grawity yes but he should be a beginner so ... [08:30] oncok [08:30] !bcm43 [08:30] Sorry, I don't know anything about bcm43 === Guest11734 is now known as Spikemcc [08:30] Alex___: What graphics card does your computer use? I take you saw the link and are looking into it now? lol [08:30] !bcm [08:30] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [08:30] p-f: mm.. matlab never really played nice with my linux box [08:30] Tengu: In gconf-editor, it's /desktop/gnome/session/required_components [08:30] plus linux has 3 percent of desktop users [08:30] j > sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter [08:30] p-f: when it comes to graphics, that is [08:31] Guest11734: not really beginner, in fact. but I don't use gnome every day, I prefere awesome.... but at work, I _have_ to use gnome -.- [08:31] Spikemcc: thank you, you know the name of the tools too? [08:31] Drumroll: ATI Radeon HD 4850... I just downloaded the newest driver... but I wanted to know how to find out what driver version it's using right now. [08:31] I use it too ... [08:31] linux is thought of as os for geeks [08:31] Slart, the strange thing is it doesn't work well regardless of the renderer I use... be it opengl hardware, software or Iforgotthename [08:31] in some people eyes [08:32] hi i wanna record my desktop [08:32] how can i do it ? [08:32] erikk71 as a first tough yes, but you will find that it's not really fully true [08:32] Slart, what video card do you have on that box? I recall not having any problems on the lab computers at university... [08:32] grawity: thanks. done.... let's give it a try. [08:32] Tengu: But if you change it to xfwm4, you will probably need to create a new file in /usr/share/applications/xfwm4.desktop -- mine is http://sprunge.us/UWZN [08:32] p-f: not at all? I sometimes had to just repeat the plotting... it would work 70% of the tries or something like that [08:32] p-f: nvidia 8800gtx [08:32] ILMAN7 recordmydesktop , istanbul or xvidcap choose your poison [08:32] hi [08:32] erikk71: I think some parts of windows are more complicated and some parts of linux are [08:32] i am sure with window 7 on the way [08:32] oh thank you [08:33] which one should i chose ? [08:33] linux will grow more [08:33] Slart, well, it sort of kind of works once in a while but I don't know why [08:33] Alex___ with an old Ati don't go after the LTS but a recent one it's ok ... [08:33] Spikemcc: sorry... what? lol [08:34] is their a "view" option for browsing folders of images, so i can have a panel that tells me when the photo was taken using the files exif data when i click on it? [08:34] i bet in 5 years freedos will hav freedos32 going [08:34] erikk71: and lose compatibility with MS-DOS? [08:34] p-f mostly nvidia cards but Ati begin to have good free drivers and you don't seem to need big 3d [08:34] no [08:35] freedos will be there [08:35] acarchne users [08:35] ok [08:35] who like surfing internet in plain dos [08:35] F1 is very very bad! [08:35] Alex___: I assume you mean in Ubuntu, correct? === andrew_ is now known as Guest65119 [08:35] andrew_: why? [08:35] Drumroll: 9.04 [08:36] Drumroll: 9.04 ubuntu [08:36] for the one that seek to change is WM try openbox in crunchbang linux or lxde Desktop manager that use openbox under ubuntu ... [08:36] Slart, I guess I'll try more recent drivers just in case (if there are any, that is) [08:36] hello [08:37] andrew_: Ctrl-Alt-F7 takes you back to X11. [08:37] i see aol is killing plug on compuserve === andrew_ is now known as Guest99976 [08:37] I tried that keystroke and everything went black and wouldn't come back...had to power down and reboot [08:37] p-f: it doesn't really feel like a driver problem.. more like a "mathworks doesn't care about linux"-problem =/ [08:37] aol ruined alot of wondowe [08:37] pc [08:37] Alex___: I'm not sure... You probably have to use the specific drivers built for Linux from ATI which is part of the problem ATI doesn't do well in Linux... [08:37] why do I keep failing to identify in time?? [08:37] hey guys, i am missing something here, i have made this work before, installed b43-fwcutter, still getting siocsifflags error...can't remeber what eles is needed. [08:37] Guest99976: Ctrl-Alt-(F1-F7) switch virtual consoles. The first six are command-line, the seventh is GUI. [08:38] Drumroll: I just want to know how I can find out what driver I currently have installed. [08:38] ok...well newbiw mistake === chaky_ is now known as chaky [08:38] Slart, :/ just curious, do your problems look anything like this? http://imagebin.org/index.php?mode=image&id=56480 [08:39] cube rules!! [08:39] I actually have a sphere [08:39] j do you have the firmware added ? [08:39] Hi, I'm a web developer and I was wondering if there was anyway that I create a launcher or something that when a file was dropped on it, it would upload the file in a multipart http form to a certain website? [08:39] p-f: nope.. I just got a blank white plot window [08:39] left-click...that's the move! [08:39] slart...you there? [08:39] ahorner: It might be possible with a Java applet (I've seen box.net do this), but with pure HTML - no. [08:39] Slart, oh, hrm [08:39] j b43-fwcutter only can be installed by the terminal correctly ... [08:40] Guest99976: yes? [08:40] Guest99976: In your Xchat, go to Network List, choose Freenode, click Edit, enter your password there. [08:40] Spikemcc: i don't think it is added correctly, if i remeber right, the b43-fwcutter is the firmware, lsmod | grep b43 shows running b43, mac, etc, but wlan0 not showing in ifconfig, but is in ifconfig -a [08:40] Slart: This is Andrew_...but for some reason I keep not identifying in time for my preferre username [08:40] grawity: I was actually thinking something along the lines of maybe python. An icon on a panel or the desktop that would just send the file as post-data to a serverside script such as something like Imageshack. [08:41] ahorner: Ah, a desktop application. That wouldn't be very hard [08:41] grawity: What language? [08:41] Guest99976: ah.. how's the cube coming along? [08:41] hey, how can i found out what is my ubuntu version? i tried the "system -> about ubuntu" menu but it doesn't show it... [08:41] Spikemcc: i am fairly comfortable with the terminal, i wouldn't know how to do this any other way. [08:41] mrpinky: lsb_release -a in a terminal [08:41] Slart, thanks [08:42] mrpinky: it's listed in the about text too.. but it's kind of sneaky [08:42] hello [08:42] Alex___: That's what you have installed. ATI's driver for Linux. They only make one as far as I know. The open source alternative does not support 3D. Check the drivers in sytem-admin-hardware drivers and see which one is enabled for your card. That might be why Compiz failed for you because you're using the open source driver that only supporst 2D? [08:42] salrt: it works, but is currently a sphere...can you tell me why i keep not identifying in time? or better yet how I DO identify in time? [08:42] how can i / do i upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10? [08:42] grawity: I was hoping maybe I would find something already created for Tinypic or some other image hosting site and just modify it. [08:42] mrpinky: just below the Ubuntu logo it says "Thank you for your interest in blablabla" [08:43] !upgrade | mrpinky [08:43] mrpinky: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [08:43] thanks [08:43] Guest99976: follow the advice grawity gave you [08:44] "3D-accelerated proprietary graphics driver for ATI cards.

Remember, in Linux, you can't install the drivers provided on the sites because that's for a Windows OS.

I am attempting to setup wireless masquerading, however, nothing passes through my iptables rules at all, from connected clients. [08:46] grawity: oh, thanks. [08:46] Spikemcc: got the firmware in, thanks. i rushed through and didn't let the extract finish properly, seconf run, worked. it is scanning for dhcp now, without the error. [08:46] slart: Grawity: am confused...haven't been using a password === andrew_ is now known as Guest38155 [08:46] Can anyone give me some pointers on my iptables rules for masquerading?

[08:47] Spikemcc touchpad :D [08:47] and other multimedia buttons :)) [08:47] I am trying to setup an tftp server for pxe booting. I'm using Ubuntu 9.04.I'm confused: What is the right file to configure for tftp to work "/etc/xinetd.d/conf/tftp" or "/etc/init.d/tftpd-hpa" [08:47] Alex___: That's probably what the Linux version is. The exact driver that already comes with Ubuntu. They have it so that other Linux distros that don't have as many pieces of software included (like Ubuntu or Mandriva) can still get it for their OS. [08:47] grawity: I guess not...it just autopopulated from my personal info settings [08:48] Does the accessible installer in 9.04 work? [08:48] grawity: so I used it [08:48] grawity: ah, yeah, that works fine. thank you! [08:48] Drumroll: All I'm trying to do is make sure I have the most recent driver installed... lol. [08:49] Guest38155: That's the problem with nick registration, all common names are taken by someone. [08:49] I have the iptables setup identically to the howtos however, i get no traffic through the firewall.

[08:49] grawity...so, how do I register a nick of my own? [08:49] hm.. [08:50] Alex___: As long as you're using the proprietary driver from ATI for Linux, it should be the right one. Any documentation I find regarding ATI drivers says to use that one. *shrugs* [08:50] Guest38155: Pick a nick, change to it (by saying "/nick mynewnick"), and then use /msg nickserv register [08:50] Spikemcc thanks, i'll check it out. By the way, if i want to write something of my own that interracts with the touchpad, say a program, what should i strat with? [08:51] grawity: using the gui version of xchat [08:51] Help!

[08:54] So.. I want to create a script of some kind (maybe set something as a launcher?) that will let me drag a file onto this launcher and send the file as post-data to my php script on my server. What language should I do this in, and has it already been done? [08:55] KB1JWQ: what means non-lsaded? [08:55] Alex___ try envyng on ubuntu 9.04 then [08:55] KB1JWQ: what means non-loaded? [08:55] I used wget, and it worked fine, but Gwget is better since It acts like sort of a download manager. [08:55] neda: He's being sarcastic. He's saying your question is loaded [08:55] dhaval_: just use wget. [08:55] And one more question, I can't run Nautilus as su [08:55] yeah I did. [08:55] I use it on the terminal on 8.04 to install mine ... envyng -t (to open it) [08:55] dhaval_: you need a download manager for wget? [08:55] is ubuntu going to overwrite my network settings from it's network manaager if i restart? [08:55] neda: Asking questions like that is akin to starting a flame war. See "loaded question: [08:55] Not really, [08:55] nevermind richard [08:56] you have to install envyng first ...

I reword my question: any suggestion about a good latex editor in ubuntu?

[08:56] dhaval_: gksudo nautilus... but be very careful with that window.. [08:57] ok, i'll try gksuDO [08:57] Thanks [08:57] dhaval_: I can't really think of a good reason to use it.. other than moving files around as root.. and that can be done from the terminal [08:57] spikemcc: That's the problem though. ATI needs to get its ass into gear. You shouldn't have to use an old version of an OS just to get your graphics card working. [08:57] Big fan of lxde here ... search about it, you maybe should like if you want easy and light ubuntu ... [08:57] dhaval_: there's a special package for using nautilus as su [08:57] Yeah, actually that's exactly what I want to use it for [08:58] meh, gksudo is fine [08:58] dhaval_: look for package nautilus - gksu [08:58] What's the difference between gksu and gksudo? [08:58] dhaval_: None. [08:58] Drumroll the real thing is you cannot do a good OS in 6 months ... [08:58] I tried GkSu, and i got the dialog box thing, and it didn't work [08:58] dhaval_: not a whole lot [08:59] dhaval_: su you need the root password sudo is your password [08:59] Alex___: But gksu just calls sudo [08:59] This is wierd, a while ago nautilus was giving me some crazy huge probelm [08:59] Can anyone here proficient with Python help me for a few minutes [08:59] now even sudo nautilus works. [08:59] grawity: Oh. Ok =D I just assumed ;) I didn't even know gksu worked =P [08:59] Alright, thanks. [08:59] gksudo is bad ... try Pcmanfm (file manager in change of nautilus) it does graphical gksudo ... [09:00] Ah here's the problem [09:00] nautilus is big and slow yikes ... [09:00] Can't run nautilus from terminal when I'm root [09:00] Spikemcc: why, exactly, is gksudo bad? [09:01] su -> [enter password] -> nautilus gives me a crazy error [09:01] and SUDO nautilus works! [09:01] gksudo is a command that noobs learns but can destroy their desktop in 1 move ... [09:01] what the fudge? [09:01] Spikemcc: So? [09:01] Spikemcc: what's your point? [09:02] Spikemcc: That would mean rm, fdisk, mkfs and gparted are bad too and should not be used either. [09:02] Spikemcc: is there a difference from sudo? [09:02] hey I am using rtorrent and it says this torrent has 2 seeds and 7 peers, but I am connected to only one person. What gives?

[09:04] sudo is CLI , gksudo is CLI>GUI, Pcmanfm stay in GUI as your file manager and help do hard stuff easily ... [09:04] spikemcc: True, but that does not explain the crappy ATI support for Linux these days. Because ATI has issues with almost ANY modern and properly updated distro of Linux, PLUS, nVida has had NO problems keeping up with Linux.

[09:09] Spikemcc: they all have problems, that's why #ubuntu and www.ubuntuforums.org exist [09:09] I think it installs a 64-bit version of java whereas I have a 32-bit system... well I guess :D [09:09] real34: thats not possible [09:09] real34: what is the output of uname -a [09:10] real34 do your sources.list on the website and do in your terminal sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras after ... [09:10] real34: that shouldnt e possible unless you compiled your own kernel, in which case,we cant help you [09:10] Linux ubuntu 2.6.28-13-generic #45-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jun 30 22:12:12 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linu [09:10] oh ... so I have a 64 platrform ? [09:10] real34: you have installed 64 bit ubuntu [09:10] Is Python client or server side? [09:10] in fact I thought I had a 32 bit one... [09:10] Gnea sad but tree [09:10] true [09:11] ahorner: depends where you run it ... bit of a strange question [09:11] Alex___: If you want the best support for Ubuntu with an ATI card, 8.04 is the best bet. I'm saying that you shouldn't have to downgrade just to use your graphics card to full potential, but... That is the reality. Read this: http://blogs.computerworld.com/the_ubuntu_and_ati_blues [09:11] this is the revelation of the day :D [09:11] libdvdcss2 no installation candidate... [09:11] ahorner: python is a programming language... that's like asking if C++ is for games or applications [09:11] 64 bits is a little harder but better so no pain no gain ... [09:11] does it means that my architecture is a 64 bit one and I didn't know about it until now? [09:11] Alex___: 8.04 being the version of Ubuntu, not anything related to the driver. [09:11] real34: what's the output of this command, please? uname -m [09:11] (I mean my hardware config) [09:11] Slart: Ah. Do you know anything about it that you could give me a push in the right direction? [09:11] thanks to understand Drumroll ... [09:12] ahorner: what are you trying to do? or what do you want to know? [09:12] is there any way to make tracker work like the search in Mac OSX and have it combine results from a dictionaray/encyclopedia with the files on the drives? [09:12] Gnea: x86_64 [09:12] slart, C++ can be used for gaming [09:12] real34: you have the 64-bit ubuntu installed. [09:12] j done your sources.list or added medibuntu repositories ? [09:12] just a hell of a lot harder [09:12] Drumroll: That's part of why I'm trying to find out if I have the 9.4 drivers or the 9.6 [09:12] Gnea: and if it could be installed, then I should have a 64 bit architecture isn't it? [09:13] * Slart hands padd1 a cookie.. You're Winner :) [09:13] Slart: I am trying to find a way to drag and drop a file onto a custom launcher on the gnome panels or an icon on the desktop so that it would send the file in a multipart form to a website. [09:13] thank U Slart [09:13] I've always thought my computer was a classic 32 bit one ! [09:13] haven't added medibuntu...is there a list of common sources for buntu's, i know with my old distro, there was a list of common ones i used. === kkszysiu is now known as asysrq [09:13] Slart: look at the DS homebrew library though, some are OK, all from C++ [09:13] gartral linux isn't mac os X you should check mac4lin project and ask to peoples that uses it to tell you what they uses ... [09:13] real34: most 64 bit procs can run 32 bit code just fine (if not slightly faster) [09:13] Alex___: use aticccle: applications>tools>ati blahblah [09:14] ahorner: it should be possible to do in python... but I don't think it will be a quick evening-job if you're not proficient in python [09:14] hi guys [09:14] Alex___ 9.4 in 9.04 just dream I have tested more than 5 times [09:14] Is there a bulk email solution for Ubuntu 9.04? One of the users's needs to send to 26k contacts. [09:14] !hi |bloupotlood [09:14] bloupotlood: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [09:14] Slart: I have time, but if not python, what other language would be an option [09:15] Spikemcc: That's why I wanted to try out compiz with the new 9.6 drivers. [09:15] Blizzerand: hey dude :) [09:15] bloupotlood : Howdy [09:15] bloupotlood: look at xmail, i bileive it is [09:15] compiz + 9.6 works, i'm using it now. [09:15] Spikemcc: But I can't find out anywhere if my driver got auto-updated or if I'm still on 9.4 [09:15] ahorner: it won't be a quick evening-job if you're not proficient in *any* language [09:15] gartral: will do, thanks [09:15] Is there a way to remove certain items from gnome-do that won't go away by themselves? [09:15] j add medibuntu for dvd reading stuff ... [09:15] I just upgraded from 9.4 to 9.6 for the dual monirot support in 9.5. [09:15] Slart: I'm very fluent in php [09:15] ProfOak : Like ... [09:16] Spikemcc: ok. [09:16] Threetimes: aticcle shows OpenGL version and CCC version, but not the driver version [09:16] gartral: hello [09:16] ahorner: I've never worked with php... so you know better than I if it's doable in php === asysrq is now known as kkszysiu [09:16] what is the "2d driver version" there? [09:16] gartral: shes trying Thunderbird at the moment, its freaking out :) [09:16] 8.60.40 [09:16] Alex___ try envyng it was a pain before but seem to work well now with ubuntu support [09:16] it should be 8.something [09:16] thx guys, you made me realized that my processor was a 64-bit one [09:16] Blizzerand: Sorry I meant gnome-do docket, and the home folder won't go away. [09:16] Slart: The whole upload script is in php, I just need something to get it from the client to the server. [09:16] Slart: what are you trying in php? [09:16] mine is 8.62.4 [09:16] Threetimes: 8.60.40 [09:17] :D I really suck! :) [09:17] Threetimes: Ok. then I'll try disabling the driver in hardware drivers and manually installing 9.6 [09:17] Anyone know anything about Mailreactor? [09:17] I've been looking for about an hour for a good, short, concise way to setup SSL on my apache server to no luck, does anyone happen to know of a good howto? [09:17] bloupotlood: you might want to stop that now, and set up a real mail server [09:17] ahorner, meet 'j'... j: meet 'ahorner' :) [09:17] Alex___: wait one moment... [09:17] hi indus, you caught me at bed time [09:17] Alex___ the highess isn't always the better choose what you need [09:18] I have the 9.6 debs here [09:18] j: Hello [09:18] gartral: heh its afternoon here [09:18] gartral: lol, we have a proper mail server here, i think having 26k contacts sent mail from a notebook is unrealistic no? :) [09:18] what are you doing with php, upload to server and then what? [09:18] indus: its 4:9 here [09:18] So.. I want to create a script of some kind (maybe set something as a launcher?) that will let me drag a file onto this launcher and send the file as post-data to my php script on my server. What language should I do this in, and has it already been done? [09:18] indus: its 4:19 here [09:18] Alex___: http://peter-server.homelinux.net/fxglrx/9.6/ [09:19] I liked amarok but songbird suit more my needs now ... but i miss amarok minimizing and keyboards shortcuts ... [09:19] Think.. drag a file from your desktop onto an icon/launcher and it uploads it to imageshack or what not [09:19] ahorner: sounds llike a job for all encompassing perl [09:19] Alex___: How old is your computer? [09:19] AlexisM: you don't need the 89MB file, only the rest [09:19] gartral: usa? [09:19] ProfOak : Let me get clear , you want to get rid of home folder from gnome-do dock right [09:19] gartral: how would I go about doing that? [09:19] Drumroll: 2 months. lol [09:19] indus: yes [09:19] ahorner: i think perl. [09:19] Alex___: you don't need the 89MB file, only the rest [09:19] Drumroll seem recent like less than a year ... too late but good guess [09:19] Blizzerand yes [09:19] ahorner: perl... ohh god, the horrors! [09:20] is there a lowlevel disk repair program for linux like spinrite? [09:20] Alex___ take care recent stuff on linux work badly sometimes ... [09:20] Spikemcc: I always understood, I just think it's stupid to have to downgrade to get your Gcard up and running. ATI should get its ass in gear as I already said. It's killing people's abilities to choose Linux as an OS if they can't even properly use their Gcards. [09:21] gartral: Isn't perl serverside though? [09:21] xim_ testdisk or photorec I think [09:21] Drumroll: Mayb that's why they're doing it! ;) [09:21] ahorner: ask in !python [09:21] !python [09:21] python is a popular Object Oriented scripting language included in Ubuntu. For more on Python please see http://www.python.org === _MrsApple_ is now known as _MrApple_ [09:21] ahorner: can be server side, client, or colaborated, all depending on how big of a headache you want the day after [09:22] In what package is gnome-cups-manager? [09:22] Drumroll that's more the problem with a 6 months release that don't show theirs bugs before the download to make the cd to install it ... [09:22] !find gnome-cups-manager [09:22] So should I do Perl or Python? [09:22] Python [09:22] Package/file gnome-cups-manager does not exist in jaunty [09:22] ahorner: read the file read( STDIN... then $req = HTTP::Request->new(POST => 'http://somesite.com'); [09:23] Slart: :S [09:23] thx Spikemcc [09:24] someone know how to handle tv tuners on linux by any chance ? mine work but I need the right software and setup for it ... mplayer tested as /dev/video1 [09:24] xim_ > www.lifehacker.com hive 5 of 2-3 months ago that's all [09:25] oh yeah, who's go video....i do! thx Spikemcc. [09:25] Alex___: then you should be working on 9.4, 9.5, or 9.6 I would imagine... The newer cards have decent support (still not up to nVida levels, but hey, whatcha gonna do?), and should work just fine for most uses... [09:25] you are making this transition to ubuntu easy. [09:25] Ok guys I think #python will help me a bunch. [09:26] help! alsamixer loads in terminal but after i load a gui (flux) i get snd_ctr_open failed??? [09:26] does ubuntu.com as a sources.list maker as www.ubuntu-fr.org ? [09:26] ATI has better open-source drivers, so the future is with ATI.. but Nvidia still has better support as a whole, from how I understand things. [09:26] Spikemcc: they used to have one.. I don't think it's available any more though [09:27] if not do one and fast, that is a must-have for beginners !!! [09:27] !sources.list [09:27] The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [09:27] Spikemcc: It's mostly older ATI cards suffering from issues. The newer ones work like a charm for MOST things... But nVida supports most of their older cards in 9.04 where ATI does not. So if you have an OLDER ATI, then you're crippled. [09:27] Spikemcc: tvtime? [09:28] My Radeon X1600 is a dropped card. It works fine with the open source drivers. My Radeon 9200 SE is a dropped card..it does not work fine. [09:28] losher got no signal on tvtime [09:28] Drumroll true, nvidia supports right back to the mx2 cards [09:28] Drumroll: what is "older"? [09:29] Spikemcc: xawtv? [09:29] Threetimes, I think the 2xxx series and earlier [09:29] Drumroll I'm on linux with an Ati for 5 years, I know all of that ... [09:29] But it might only be the X1xxx series and earlier. [09:29] Threetimes: http://blogs.computerworld.com/the_ubuntu_and_ati_blues Read that to get some sense of the problem. [09:29] xawtv on install ... [09:29] hmmm, I have a HD 2600XT and it works [09:30] So I'm on the edge? [09:30] Threetimes, Check if it is using the open or closed drivers [09:30] Threetimes: They say that any ATI card more than a year or so old will have issues with the 94 and above drivers made for ANY linux distro. [09:30] Bob_Dole use ubuntu 8.04 LTS for your cards [09:31] HD2000 and more work on 9.04 that's why [09:31] Spikemcc, It's too slow regardless, if I had a means of OC'ing it about 50mhz, it'd be worth it. [09:31] any idea why i have to restart X to get my trackpad to work in 9.04? [09:31] Bob_Dole an old Ati on 9.04 for 3d is suicide ... [09:31] Bob_Dole: I'm using the latest drivers from ATi's site [09:32] i need some tools to let me use my ati x1300 to play movies on my tv, ideally i want to control them via ssh or xrdp, is this going to be possible? [09:32] if you don't use 3d you're ok [09:32] o.O [09:32] I use 3D (compiz) [09:33] j: if you can control it via a command-line, it'll work trough ssh too [09:33] o.O [09:33] I can now run java with compiz on and flash works 10x better with compiz on o.O [09:33] hi all [09:34] Threetimes: Did you say that it actually works with dual monitors now? [09:34] I would like to know if on Linux there is a difference like French OS and US OS ? [09:34] yes, since I upgraded from 9.4 to 9.6 [09:34] or the difference is only in the GUI and the Keyboard Map ? [09:34] fromzy: there are languages, yes [09:34] ProfOak : Sorry had trouble with power supply . Did you get the problem solved [09:34] fromzy: the language and localization settings will be different [09:34] * Bob_Dole has lots of computers. most running ATI cards.. HD 3850, X1600, 9200SE, 9000. [09:35] Threetimes: The fact that my monitors weren't the same resolution made it impossible before [09:35] could anyone poing me in the right direction to start trouble shooting why i have to restart X to get my trackpad buttons to work? I don't see anything in /var/logs/messages /syslog that points to the trackpad. [09:35] Alex___: mine are also different resolutions, i can post my xorg.conf if you like [09:35] fromzy: not sure what you mean now.. you think the os is translated.. ie help in your language.. menu options and so on [09:35] Threetimes: I believe you =P [09:35] fromzy: *I think the os... [09:35] Alex___: http://pastebin.com/f4b8d6132 [09:35] Blizzeramd: No, but I just think I'm gonna go back to regular gnome-do anyways. I just wanted to try it out. === Mud is now known as Mud|afk [09:36] Slart : In fact some software on Windows must have an US OS to work properly. Do we have the same case on Linux ? [09:36] fromzy : There are labguage packages of Ubuntu but they are DVDs . I've heard they are not updated often or something of that sort [09:36] fromzy: oh.. no.. the OS is the same [09:36] *language [09:37] fromzy: a system doesnt operate in stupid english or french ;) [09:37] hello all [09:37] Blizzerand: nope, you can just install them with system>administration>kanguages and they're up-to-date [09:37] i'm dutch, so i know :D [09:37] has anyone running Cod4 on there ubuntu [09:37] =( Screensaver still screws up [09:37] Slart : This is what I think so. In fact if I look at /proc/... the metrics have the same name whatever language I use (French, german, US...) [09:38] fromzy: yes.. there are apps that rely on them being named the same.. [09:38] you can even set the language/localisation per-user, so it must be like that [09:38] Slart : Thank a lot Slart and have a nice day [09:38] fromzy: you too [09:38] none of my additional buttons seem to work on my thinkpad r51 with 9.04 my volume doenst agree with the panel applet.. my trackpad doesnt like it..etc. [09:39] irc://irc.freenode.net/ubuntu-fr [09:39] Call of Duty 4 1.7 Linux Server Files < does this work for single player too === mike is now known as Guest32010 [09:40] allan_: sounds like it's a multiplayer server === Guest32010 is now known as Spikemcc [09:40] ProfOak : Just drag the unwanted things to the desktop and there you go [09:40] Threetimes : No I amm talking about DVD Ubuntu [09:40] Threetimes : Here http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors#dvd [09:40] Blizzerand: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:40] I dont know [09:40] i am just trying to get cod4 working [09:40] Blizzerand: Oh wow, is my face red... Thanks for that [09:41] hello all [09:41] Blizzerand: if you have the CD, you can install them the way I mentioned. [09:41] welcome back, sorry xawtv test was a pain ... a tip for newbies of linux alt+ctrl+backspace do a hot reboot but 9.04 has to be patched for it ... before it it's ok ... [09:42] ubuntu dvd someone need a lot of unusefull stuf or what & [09:42] ? [09:42] FloodBot1 : lol You are too slow for a bot [09:42] i have an gnome desktop with theme, now i would like to set it system wide, so that when an new user is added it gets the theme by default: all tips are welcome... [09:42] !floodbot [09:42] Sorry, I don't know anything about floodbot [09:43] * Blizzerand huggles FloodBot1 [09:43] hi everyone! [09:43] ProfOak : So it worked right [09:44] is anybody know why nvidia proprietary drivers won't show in the gui [09:44] sorry ubuntu don't have root account ... you will have to do, one by one I think ... or copy somes files from home to another home (user home) [09:44] i need to have it in the gui instead of downloading manually [09:44] because they are not loaded? [09:44] well it should be proposed then [09:45] Joric: i think the nvidia drivers are a bit touch and go ... [09:45] I accidentally deleted the NetworkManager Applet from the panel. How to get it back? [09:45] Blizzerand: Yes, and I should have known... That's how every dock is... [09:45] but there's nothing [09:45] Joric have you tried envyng first ? [09:45] oh man, i tried vlc my_file.avi from putty, and it actually started playing the movie in putty via ascii art....i can't believe that is what anyone would want.... [09:45] how [09:45] Spikemcc what's enying [09:45] tuxwulf: rught click > add to panel [09:45] i want to play on the actual screen.... [09:45] linuxn00b: I tried that, NetworkManager Applet is not listed [09:46] j: Once saw a Star Wars-movie that way. Interesting concept in the very least. [09:46] tuxwulf do sudo apt-get install wicd in your terminal if you want a better one ... [09:46] tuxwulf: just a sec [09:46] Joric : open gnome terminal and type glxinfo | grep direct , to see if 3D is loaded [09:46] j: check the vlc wiki, there's a lot of info for command-line options there [09:46] OttifantSir: i have a bigscreen here, i want to play it on that. [09:46] then add it to your session on system > prefs [09:46] j: Didn't say it was useful or beautiful, just interesting. [09:47] tuxwulf: i see what you mean [09:47] yeah, definately caught me off guard... [09:47] or lsmod | grep nvidia [09:47] tuxwulf: sorry, im stuck too [09:47] Joric EnvyNG install graphic drivers easily but is on progress but work well for now [09:48] tuxwulf: try dpkg reconfigure or something, it might reset the settings [09:48] linuxn00b: Tthat's ok, I appreciate trying! Thanks! [09:48] Spikemcc, nvidia drivers can be installed with synaptic... [09:48] i just wonder is there a way to make ubuntu list available hardware drivers back in the gui [09:48] Spikemcc: ... so it may just come to that... [09:48] j: With VLC, you should be able to open the file directly through the GUI, not have to do a Putty commandline execution. [09:49] EnvyNG, i thought was not supported by ubuntu [09:49] OttifantSir: i don't want to have a mouse / keyboard directly hooked to the computer. [09:49] !EnvyNG [09:49] EnvyNG is a program to install newer version of nVidia or ATi drivers, it can be found in !Universe as "envyng-gtk" (for Gtk/Gnome) or "envyng-qt" (for Qt/KDE). It is NOT a supported method to install video drivers; please only use it if standard methods fail and at your own risk - See also !BinaryDriver [09:49] yellabs yes but old ones ... new ones with envyng ... [09:49] tuxwulf: if your really bothered, theres an X server reconfigure thing in recovery mode, that migth do it [09:49] i want to run it from my laptop / phone via ssh / rdp. [09:49] I said not supported but working ... [09:49] linuxn00b: Yes, but that does not reconfigure panels, AFAIK... [09:49] ahh [09:49] The newer nvidia drivers are also in ubuntu repository [09:50] its very easy with synaptic... [09:50] That's ok, if wicd can do it I will try that. It's fortunately just for convenience, nothign too serious... [09:50] i have an gnome desktop with theme, now i would like to set it system wide, so that when an new user is added it gets the theme by default: all tips are welcome... [09:51] Spikemcc: Thanks to you too! [09:51] envyng -t (command line) saved me twice on a crashed xorg.conf with a mesa driver at 800x600 on my 1280x800 laptop so it's not worthless that's why it's in the repositories, some peoples use it and want it ... [09:51] hi pls someone to help [09:51] gnome desktop theme , system wide , how would i set it? ( for every new user that is added ) [09:52] arty state problem [09:52] pls how can i use bzip2 to dir what I need to writte === dylan`` is now known as dylan` [09:52] bzip2 dir? [09:52] lxde in hardy repositories it's for when ? cause envy is in the LTS repositories ... I want my lxde without a ppa please !!! [09:52] j: The phone thing would be a real blast to have. RDP is quite easy, and I didn't even need to know more than to look around the menus and know the IP-adress of the computer I wanted to control to learn how to do it. But do tell if you get the phone idea to work. Would love it. Maybe anyremote is something you'd want to try? [09:53] bzip2 -help [09:53] i have the ssh from my phone working, i just need to re-direct the output to the vidoe card, instead of back to the phone. [09:54] j: do you use wifi or 3G on your phone? [09:54] yellabs: I have dir STAFF and I need staff.bzip2 but I dont know how if I wrte bzip2 staff ,it write mi its a directory [09:54] anybody have had any luck hiding the menu bar in opera? [09:54] Threetimes: wifi when i am home. [09:54] yellads it's a /home/user settings file stuff ... try to find what is the file used and copy/paste it or the settings you need in it ... [09:54] which is better for ubuntu in terms of drivers and overall performance with respect to windows: amd or nvidia? [09:54] j: ah, ok. Have you looked in the vlc wiki yet? [09:54] Hi, Is this the right channel for some hardware problems? [09:55] OttifantSir, try thightvnc maybe ? [09:55] !netsplit [09:55] arty_: You cannot bzip2 directories, only single files. What you probably want is tar cvjf staff.bzip2 staff/ [09:55] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [09:55] yeah, --vout is the switch i need, but more info is needed. [09:55] wow [09:55] arty : http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/compressing-directory-with-bzip2-336204/ [09:55] heh hat looked fun ^.^ [09:55] ubuntu, FloodBot1: lol!

[09:56] yes we see you [09:56] yeah [09:56] Threetimes: If you can see the other person, he can see you too. [09:56] ok [09:56] hehe [09:56] Have somebody some expertise in non working internal cardreaders on a acer aspire 9410? :D [09:56] lien: what's your problem...we can at least try to help. [09:56] are x11-utils and x11-server-utils installed by default on all Ubuntu remixes? [09:56] .. not if he got his eyes closed... [09:56] yellabs: thx u2 [09:56] is there a recovery tool to get back documents from a formated drive (windows ntfs drive) in ubuntu? [09:57] im getting couldnt find package ubuntu-desktop after installing the server on virtual box [09:57] what should i do? [09:57] cattelar try firefox it's open source, opera isn't so don't expect miracles... flock is decent for some peoples also ... opera is good but not my taste ... [09:57] lien: not me. but, good luck. i'm looking for hardware specific help too. [09:57] jilbert: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop ? [09:57] xbmc666: yup [09:57] that's what i did [09:57] Spikemcc: Opera is very good on Windows. (Not on GNOME, unfortunately.) [09:57] LLStarks nvidia [09:57] xmbc666 : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery [09:57] tried sudo apt-cache search ubuntu ? [09:58] thx yellabs, i'll check it out [09:58] lien > Does it work in Win...? [09:58] jilbert: pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list? [09:58] Ok, this is messed up. If the internet is disconnected, I can't reconnect until I do a COMPLETE restart! [09:58] tuxwulf: Yes it does [09:58] what do I do to fix this? [09:58] okay grawity [09:58] wait [09:58] lien > Then it is not your hardware that is having a problem....I'd say... [09:58] Opera loads pages faster than ANY version of FireFox, but if you like extensions then FireFox is what you want. FireFox has better integration with Ubuntu as it is. I use both though for various reasons. [09:59] which is better for ubuntu in terms of drivers and overall performance with respect to windows: amd or nvidia? [09:59] tuxwulf: yes, you're right, maybe some driverproblem? [09:59] lien > That's what I think, yes. Either linux does not know that piece of hardware or does not recognize it correctly... [09:59] anybody have had any luck hiding the menu bar in opera? [09:59] HellO/ [09:59] Drumroll for speed flock is good also ... [10:00] LLStarks nvidia !!! [10:01] j: vlc file.ext -f -Vreset [10:01] doesn't nvidia have nasty kernel compatibility issues? [10:01] Ati is good for open source drivers but don't expect 3d gaming to be easy, it's a pain in the ass ... [10:01] sorry, wrong window : [10:01] Does anyone know of a 'simple' way to access file sharing from one ubuntu desktop to another ? [10:01] how are the ati binary drivers? [10:01] Threetimes: i was thinking vlc fle.ext -f --vout default [10:01] Dude? [10:01] what's an easy way to backup an ubuntu installation to an ISO file? Ghost4Linux? sending laptop in for repair, need to fully backup my installation... [10:01] Why does this happen/ Why can't I reconnect? [10:01] LLStarks: ATI was better with older version of Ubuntu, but for recent versions of Ubuntu, nVida is the winner by FAR. [10:01] LLStarks don't have a nvidia but old Ati and nvidia haved problems with 9.04 ... [10:02] I am trying to setup an tftp server for pxe booting. I'm using Ubuntu 9.04.I'm confused: What is the right file to configure for tftp to work "/etc/xinetd.d/conf/tftp" or "/etc/init.d/tftpd-hpa" [10:02] j: default is the wrong one, that'll be the ascci one [10:02] it says i can't initialize the x11 session. [10:02] peppo, it's probably easier and faster to just tar up /etc, /var, /home and /root and make a list of installed packages [10:02] which is already initialized. [10:02] tuxwulf: any clue for me? I've tried already some other irc channels and a forum but no succes (even no response on the forum) [10:02] HEY! [10:02] I can't reconnect! [10:02] LLStars Ati for a old ones I stuck on 8.04 and the new ones can enjoy 9.04 ... [10:02] What is wrong!? [10:03] p-f, not if I have a bunch of custom setups for ffado, scripts etc... customization for the vaio and so on [10:03] Spike? [10:03] Threetimes: got the ascci one with your suggestion too. [10:03] j: my "suggestion" was a typo [10:04] dhaval yes ? [10:04] j: you might have to tell it to use a specific display, not the ssh window [10:04] reconnect by cable or wifi ? [10:04] lien > Well.. in WIn you can sometimes get more info about exactly what hardware it is, then you can search better for linux usage, too. [10:04] how do you run a command right after rebooting? [10:04] yeah, but i don't know how to specifiy it, ti is -vout but i don't know what goes in module, can't find an example [10:04] i mean, make it automatically run after rebooting [10:05] LLStarks: http://blogs.computerworld.com/the_ubuntu_and_ati_blues [10:05] j: i'm looking for it, but my vlc is broken... [10:05] LLStarks I cannot dislike Ati so much, it's because of them that I getted so good on linux ... [10:06] lien > And of course, perhaps Acer got a suggestion...? That's all... I have no experience with cardreaders ...and, I have to go... good luck! [10:06] but Nvidia will be my next choice ... [10:06] tuxwulf: the problem is that I've deleted windows :D ké bye [10:07] spikemcc: how do ati and nvidia compare in terms of price per performance on cheap laptops? [10:07] j: How about tryin X11 for vout-module? [10:07] lien > One last one: try to get wiser with dmesg ... [10:07] Really gone now. Bye! [10:07] tv tuner user in need here .... someone got an idea to use it on linux, it work on mplayer but I can't change channel and others nice options ... [10:07] open of `X11' failed: could not create access: no suitable access module [10:07] j: Or XVideo or OpenGL? [10:08] LLStarks a laptop to play ? can I cry for you ? [10:08] dream ok ? [10:08] j: try x11 or xvideo, but still we need to tell vlc not to start X on your phone, but use X on your big screen [10:08] LLStarks: ATI is usually slightly cheepar than nVida, but since nVida has more Linux support on ALL distros currently, if you want to go Linux seriously, you'll be glad you have an nVida. [10:08] i know there are laptops with decent carrds for under $800 [10:08] Threetimes, i tried both, i really need an example, google seems lacking. [10:09] I use my stream my game subscription on my netbook with my gaming pc, it cost less and work better ... [10:09] j: try opengl [10:09] vlc --alsadev hw:1,0 --vout x11 --x11-display :0.1 --fullscreen --no-wxwin-embed is one example, so i think x11 is right. [10:10] hw:1,0 is something from xorg.conf. [10:10] LLStarks gaming on a laptop laptop is a real short word ... take care [10:10] it might depen on your graopics config/driver, just try them all [10:10] Spikemcc: They have laptops built specifically for gamers... [10:11] in the best play old games well but don't expect games that have less than 3 years to be a sure bet ... [10:12] Drumroll I buyed a laptop at 4000$ for gaming and it even don't played the nhl game of that year ... [10:12] j: You should probably try to write a script containing the commandline to open films in the correct display, with a dialog asking for which file you want to open. I know it's possible, but I don't know how, and probably something you should ask in #bash if you can handle the cryptic talk over there. [10:12] hey, what's a good cheap laptop for Ubuntu [10:13] not a gamer, just performance [10:13] And Cheap as in like under 600-700 bucks [10:13] Hello, for 2 weeks now, Firefox 3.5 is available to download... I am using Ubuntu and I still don't find it in the repositories, when will it be added ?... My windows friends are already using it... how can I trigger an update to switch to FF 3.5 ? or how much should I wait for it ? [10:13] just about any padd1, that has somewhat standard components [10:13] Anquietas: install the package like so.. sudo apt-get install firefox-3.5 [10:14] Anquietas: the package is firefox-3.5 [10:14] Anquietas: which version of ubuntu? [10:14] hey [10:14] !info firefox-3.5 [10:14] 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope [10:14] Dextorion, I realise any work, but, what is a good speed one... etc. [10:14] firefox-3.5 (source: firefox-3.5): safe and easy web browser from Mozilla. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.5.1+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.9.04.1 (jaunty), package size 907 kB, installed size 3524 kB [10:14] LLStarks onboard graphic memory standard is about 64 Mb so your laptop should have a Nvidia with at minimum 256 Mb ... but don't dream of playing crysis, dx10 games and so on without a little luck ... [10:14] what is the command for having details about ram ? i mean hardware detail. [10:14] I installed something firefox-3.5 but when I open firefox, it's still the Old Firefox [10:14] Anquietas: its available as a separate package [10:14] must I manually search the binary and create shortcuts ? [10:14] Anquietas: thats because you didnt install from repos [10:14] only you could answer that question [10:14] padd1 [10:15] Anquietas: you should open Shiretoko, that's FF3.5's codename [10:15] k [10:15] oh [10:15] padd1 a netbook is good for linux ... [10:15] from the repos I've installed, in Synaptic [10:15] Anquietas: remove that, install firefox-3.5 [10:15] iamleneko: free [10:15] Anquietas: you have FF3.0 and 3.5, shiretoko is 3.5 [10:15] what's a cheap but fast netbook, Spikemcc [10:15] Anquietas: both packages co exist [10:15] under 300-400 even less sometimes ... [10:15] padd1, only thing i could recommend would be to have more than 512mb RAM if you will be using KDE or GNOME. [10:15] richardcavell, no [10:15] !shiretoko [10:15] richardcavell, :) [10:15] k, thanks [10:15] Hi [10:15] OttifantSir: i can handle bash, i write all my backup scripts and that sort of stuff, i need the vlc line and i will be fine. [10:15] hmm ubottu wake up [10:15] would an eeepc be good? [10:15] padd1, as im using a 512mb RAM laptop and find that to be a bit on the low side [10:15] iamleneko: Hm? What is it that you want to know [10:16] oh, OK [10:16] Dexterion, thanks [10:16] Sorry, I don't know anything about shiretoko [10:16] the hardware detail like, what type of material it is, ddr or ddr2 speed etc.... [10:16] padd1, your welcome [10:16] eeepc 901 was great, msi wind also, acer aspire one and dell mini 9 was almost epic ... [10:16] Dextorion, what are you using [10:16] weird! I'm playing an mp3, and if I do anything graphically intensive (move a window, scroll in firefox) the mp3 skips *forward* [10:16] what about eeepc T90 or something [10:16] aspire one good sorry [10:17] cool [10:17] padd1, 1,7Gz centrino, 512mb Ram. [10:17] I second the recommendation for more ram [10:17] ok, I've installed firefox-3.5 from the repos... but which is the binary ?... must I create all the shortcuts ?... or can I modify the previous shortcut of Firefox to point to the new 3.5 version ? [10:17] mzz try songbird or amarok for mp3 [10:17] Dexterion, very nice [10:17] ubottu, shiretoko is the name for FireFox 3.5 in Ubuntu 9.04 so that it won't conflict with FireFox 3.0.11 that comes installed on Ubuntu bt default. [10:18] Spikemcc: this isn't specific to a particular player, unless it's specific to gstreamer, which would be pretty weird (and it'd still also affect amarok, since iirc that uses gstreamer) [10:18] pabb1 From my experience, Acer has realy good compatibility with Ubuntu and Linux in general [10:18] padd1, works just fine for what im doing. Just a bit low on the RAM imo [10:18] I'm fairly new to Ubuntu, been running several heavy duty simulations over the weekend and just turned screen on and it looks like it's frozen, sims not updating (or very slowly), can't click anywhere and clock has frozen at time I turned on. Anything I can do to recover the data in my programs? [10:18] firefox 3.5 isn't ubuntu supported for now ... [10:18] okey i found it again [10:18] it is "lshw" [10:18] Dexterion, what model are U using (did U build it?) [10:19] padd1, its a hp nx8220. But that doesnt matter. [10:19] pabbl dell has done the linux switch and have a decent support now ... [10:19] hi I'm new, can anyone help me? [10:19] Anquietas: running firefox-3.5 (or shiretoko from the main menu) should work fine. I haven't bothered to update various links yet, but I'd expect system -> preferences -> preferred applications to mostly suffice [10:19] Oh, K, thanks Spikemcc [10:19] Spikemcc: Yes it is. It's on 9.04 (as Shiretoko) and will be default in 9.10. [10:20] and worldwide freeshipping at home if you take the website of your country [10:20] ok... but why did it changed the name from Firefox to Shiretoko ?... it's a complication, I must retain the new name..... it's wierd..... [10:20] User___: I'd ssh in (if you have that set up) to see if it's just X that has issues [10:20] sweet [10:20] !ff-3.5 [10:20] Sorry, I don't know anything about ff-3.5 [10:20] Should I goto -help, lost my panels, looks like maybe even window manager (ubuntu netbook) just need to know how to reset it, booted from LiveCD on SD card right now [10:20] !ff3.5 [10:20] Firefox 3.5 Final is available for Jaunty by installing the package firefox-3.5 | FF3.5 is referred to as Shiretoko on your UI, see http://is.gd/1reB3 for an explanation | Hardy & Intrepid: http://is.gd/1jkNY [10:21] Anquietas: They did that so that it wouldn't conflict with the already installed FireFox 3.0.11 and have it cause issues. [10:21] join #php [10:21] mzz: I'm running a dedicated linux box. I was wondering if it'd properly crashed or if it's just running reeeaally slowly [10:21] User___: I can't tell, I'm not ssh'd in :) [10:22] ok, thank you, hope the name will be returned as firefox in the next release [10:22] Anquietas: have you actually read the link ubottu just gave you? [10:22] yes [10:22] thank you [10:22] :) [10:22] User___: you can check to see what is eating your cpu time, using the cli command 'top' [10:22] mzz: ha fair enough [10:23] User___: what kdub said, but of course that assumes you have a working term or ssh connection to run top in [10:23] kdub: ok I'll try that, but nothing's been opening [10:23] User___: don't hit this yet, but if all else fails hitting alt+sysrq+k is an option (should kill X, but also everything inside it). See also !dontzap [10:24] ah, that doesn't work. [10:24] !dontzap [10:24] 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. [10:24] mzz: ok [10:24] User___: if its a remote box, ping and nmap are useful to see if its still up [10:24] firefox 3.0.11 multiples crashes on hardy is there a problem ??? [10:24] if its a local computer, its pretty easy to see what's going on [10:24] Have somebody some expertise in non working internal cardreaders on a acer aspire 9410? :D [10:24] User___: killing X is rather blunt, if you have other ways to access it I'd try those first. ctrl+alt+f1 might also still work, although I doubt it. [10:25] anyone have any experience with G4L? [10:25] hi. Any idea when packages.ubuntu.com will start working again? [10:25] Spikemcc: still does it with plugins (flash) off? [10:25] mzz/kdub: It's a local box, but it's either stopped or running really really slowly [10:25] nikolam: use the standard repos :P [10:25] 64 flash maybe [10:25] mzz: I have a couple of macros writing data, if I were to kill would it write the data first or just quit the cmd windows? [10:25] User___: I don't know what "a local box" means. My local systems often run sshds :) [10:26] lien try lspci in your terminal [10:26] kdub hmm :) I get used to making newer packages for my Hardy LTS :) [10:26] cardreader mostly work well without drivers [10:26] User___: if they're running in terms those'd die. I don't know how the stuff running in those terms would respond, but they'd probably die too. [10:26] Aniquietas, yes, the name should revert to FireFox again for the next release. But if 9.04 had two versions of FireFox installed there would be major issues. [10:26] Does anyone know how to make this panel completely transparent? http://i29.tinypic.com/2crsh0k.jpg [10:26] why is there a symbolic link called "ubuntu" in Ubuntu installation CD root? "File ubuntu" gives "ubuntu: symbolic link to `.'". Any ideas? [10:26] User___: x could have frozen, but the kernel is still alive underneath. if you can ping the computer, its not totally locked up.. [10:26] Spikemcc: 64 bit flash (the adobe one) is fairly crashy here (in 3.5 in jaunty) [10:27] is there a way to make a window borderless ... without the title bar and that? [10:27] kdub: that's not much use if he has long-running stuff running under X though [10:27] User___: I tend to run things like that inside screen, so it survives if X crashes [10:27] nikolam ubuntu hardy heron 8.04.2 LTS 64 bits Amd/Ati laptop up and running here !!! === angela is now known as Guest78297 [10:28] Samba on this laptop only finds ONE PC, while samba on a different laptop finds ALL pc's in the network.

[11:00] I just wanna distribute some images over my network in a pc pool [11:00] moncky [11:00] angel_: you should have a look at cobbler, with puppet [11:01] angel_: that way you can easily make changes on a system on the fly without having to rebuild an image [11:01] there is one that does like mac time machine based on rsync just search a little ... it should work well and ghostzilla do a image ... [11:01] Spikemcc: no backups? [11:01] that's brave [11:01] I've been using computers for long enough that I know you make backups [11:01] angel_: https://fedorahosted.org/cobbler/ http://reductivelabs.com/products/puppet/ [11:02] not Ubuntu-specific, but anyone know what I should do to switch the sound card that Wine uses?

People say it's slow [11:03] no backups for me, I just use another drive and copy my files ... [11:03] pekuja: ask in #winehq [11:03] moncky: what do you think of the recent google implementation ? [11:03] even over high bandwidth connection [11:03] sure [11:03] richardcavell, try NX [11:03] Spikemcc: well, that is a backup [11:03] but a for a pain free linux that backup well, Slitaz [11:04] deany: it requires installation on both client and server? [11:04] richardcavell: yeah works great [11:04] richardcavell, i find ubuntus (vnc) works well, but try FreeNX , yes client and server [11:04] jetienne: google implementations? got a link? [11:04] deany: what package am I looking at? [11:04] you can just copy Slitaz files to another pc without any worry, redo a live cd, dvd, usb ... no pain ... [11:04] richardcavell, there is a guide if you google [11:04] but it's a limited linux ... [11:05] hey... I just bought a new 1TB HDD.... I want to dual boot xp & ubuntu... what filesystem should I use? [11:05] deany: okay. It's not in the repos [11:05] moncky: can I get windows images via cobble? [11:05] richardcavell not a real backup, no structure, no real backups timed and all... [11:05] http://code.google.com/p/neatx/ <- moncky release a few weeks ago [11:05] I can lose all every night [11:05] ahughes^: ntfs for windows, and etx3 or ext4 for linux [11:06] when receiving mail from a ubuntu server the attachments are always inline as "This is a multi-part message in MIME format" - how can I adjust the server settings to prevent this? [11:06] moncky: if you test it, msg me, i am interested :) [11:06] Spikemcc: I've learned my lesson when it comes to losing important data [11:06] ext3 is better [11:06] hello [11:06] all [11:06] use a software to read your drives on windows if needed [11:06] moncky, I need to share the drive... dual boot. [11:07] angel_: they have been working on windows implementation though I have not checked for a while, ask in #cobbler [11:07] richardcavell the lesson I know but never learn ... I hate backups ... [11:07] Spikemcc, better for whom? I can only find a ext2 windows driver. [11:07] ahughes^, the software that spike reffered to is ext2fs [11:07] ahughes^: yeah you will need to partition the disk first, which is done as part of the installation process [11:07] it read ext3 [11:07] techie, yep... how does that relate to ext3? [11:07] richardcavell, thought about ssh and X forwarding? [11:08] ahughes^: for example when you install ubuntu partition 500MB for linux and leave 500MB untouched [11:08] Ahadiel, it contains drivers that allow mounting and read/write of ext2 and ext3 drives in windows [11:08] moncky, nah... the o/s's are on another drive (yet to be purchased to tell you the truth) [11:08] deany: I'd like to do something like that I think [11:08] techie thanks I was searching the name [11:08] richardcavell, remote use the app and not the whole desktop, [11:08] deany: If remote desktop is unusable then it might as well not exist [11:09] techie, I'm sure it does. [11:09] i think I may have missed somthing, you have a 1TB drive and want to install both ubuntu and windows on their? [11:09] ahughes^: sorry installed on there [11:09] richardcavell, Ive used it over slow links and it works fine for me... but either try NX server or ssh X forwarding. [11:09] okay [11:09] free nx [11:09] why would anyone want to dual boot to windows?! [11:09] guest37535: why not? [11:09] Ahadiel, sorry about hat that message was meant for ahughes^, should typed more character before tabbing [11:09] grawity: vmware..

[11:10] richardcavell: oh yeah, fair enough [11:10] guest37535, some of us like to do things that you cant do in linux, like play resource intensive games [11:10] if you're not affraid of french language try Framakey Ubuntu-fr remix usb key (mostly a software) ubuntu 9.04 32 bits in french with portables softwares for windows, linux and mac, shared datas ... worth a watch even for you ... a good an decent tool ... [11:11] grawity: dunno, I haven't booted windows in 2 years except at work & don't miss it [11:11] guest37535: as some people say, you need windows for games [11:11] it's a persistant data usb key ... not live only so you can put it back in english slowly ... [11:11] guest37535: but vboc 3.0 can use 3d hardware [11:11] Hi everyone [11:11] vbox [11:12] hello what is perl version in ubuntu-8.04.3 lts [11:12] iceroot: still not fantastic support though [11:12] Spikemcc / moncky, so you are saying to format the drive as ext2 with ext2fs... but how does that differ to ext3? Or should I just use ntfs and then ubuntu just has gloabal read/write on that mount? [11:12] richardcavell: yes :( left4dead was not working === ogra_ is now known as ogra [11:12] iceroot: I can't get Half-Life 1 to run [11:12] hardly taxing on modern hardware [11:12] who knows aboutr H 264 codecs [11:12] richardcavell: hl1 runs fine with wine [11:13] iceroot: not for me it doesn't [11:13] richardcavell, nx relies on ssh anyway... so you`ll need that setup to use mx [11:13] nx* [11:13] ext 2 or 3 should do ... ext2 isn't journalized so use ext3 ... [11:13] deany: my ssh server is working beautifully [11:13] I've spent all weekend getting it to work [11:13] k [11:14] I use ntfs and ext3 drive here ... and a little linux-swap that's all [11:14] ahughes^: it all depends, you said you want to dual boot, so you would have one ntfs partition for windows and then ext3 or ext4 partitions for linux [11:14] ahughes^: I dont see where the confusion here is or where you need the help [11:14] I would recommend ext3, as it can be accessed from Windows (there are at least two third-party drivers for that). [11:15] H 264 vcodecs who knows [11:15] help, no sound on my fresh ubuntu install [11:15] what is perl version in ubuntu-8.04.3-lts,pls [11:15] the sound is onboard, ubuntu 8.04 [11:15] Spikemcc, problem is there is no ext3 option from ext2fs is there? At the moment I must format this from windows... copy everything off my existing hard disk (windows xp) to the new drive.... then format the existing drive and split into two partitions... XP and ubuntu. But the new drive needs to work with both o/s's [11:16] richardcavell you seem mostly a security specialist, what do you recommand me for security ? backup software for advanced/pro home user and drive encryption ... [11:16] ext2fs work try after ... [11:16] Spikemcc: for security? That's a general question. Backup software... I'm using grsync right now to sync my internal drive with a detachable external drive. [11:17] Spikemcc, yeah... why don't I just try :D [11:17] if not there diskeeper linux reader or something like [11:17] Spikemcc: As to drive encryption, there are tutorials at ubuntuforums. You can encrypt your whole / (filesystem) [11:18] richardcavell: even /boot ? [11:18] richardcavell others ideas for rock-solid hackers proof laptop, I could even hand to a hacker for a year without worring or almost ... [11:18] moncky: No, not /boot. Silly creature. :) [11:19] is there a reason why python2.6 is not available in 8.04 LTS? [11:19] leaf-sheep: :P# [11:19] moncky: if it's possible with TrueCrypt, then it must be possible with Linux too [11:19] moncky: yes you can [11:19] hey guys, i have a question about routing, does anyone know a good irc channel? [11:19] davidh38: ##linux? ##networking? [11:19] I can get sound running on ubuntu :/ [11:19] !sound | binay [11:19] binay: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [11:19] moncky: it is possible with GRUB2. I've been told GRUB can do it but it's finicky [11:20] richardcavell: ah, is that new, I was allways under the impression that /boot had to be unencrypted [11:20] grawity, just have quesion about my netgear router, nothing concerning the OS [11:20] moncky: it is said to be possible. But remember GRUB has to be on an unencrypted partition [11:21] got to goto office depot an best buy [11:21] moncky: So you could just as well put /boot there as well [11:21] i need bigger hard drive [11:22] erickk71 I need a new drive every week, damn downloads omg !!! [11:23] for an Intel E8500 core 2 duo, should I download ubuntu server 64 or 32 bit? [11:23] 64 bits [11:23] wild_oscar: your choice. 64 bit will work fine [11:24] why you don't take the minimal cd ? [11:24] I have no idea what the difference is - I even thought the whole 32 vs 64 bit discussion had vanished with the arrival of dual and quad core [11:24] !minimal cd [11:24] Sorry, I don't know anything about minimal cd [11:25] wild_oscar: no, its just because of the ram-size [11:25] 32 bits less compilation, 64 bits a little more ... [11:25] iceroot: how so? [11:25] how do i know if my sound card is not supported by alsa? [11:25] wild_oscar: with 32bit you can only adress 4gb [11:25] the ram issues isn't all true cause you could use 4 Go of ram on a 32 bits os with a twaek [11:26] tweak [11:26] iceroot the limit was 3 Go or 3,5Go [11:26] binay, check. http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Main and http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/Alsa_Preferred_Soundcards [11:26] Spikemcc: no, limit is 4GB [11:26] this is a 4 gb machine where I'm going to try (for the first time) virtualization [11:26] Spikemcc: 4gb = ram + pci-adress-space [11:27] iceroot, you need a user/kernel split [11:27] wild_oscar 64 bits on linux is decent... [11:27] so it'll have a Linux OS with 2 virtual Linux machines inside [11:27] iceroot, so you can't get 4gb just for the userspace [11:27] not at all on windows ... stay on 32 bits on it ... [11:27] lesshaste: of course you can, use PAE [11:28] I have Intel Corporation 82801G , it supports 82801AA,82901AB,i810,i820,i830,i840,i845,MX440; SiS 7012; Ali 5455 [11:28] does that mean it doesn't support my sound card? [11:28] maybe windows 7 will be 64 bits friendly for real but I wait until that ... [11:28] Win 7 will have 32 and 64 bit versions on the same DVD [11:28] Spikemcc: lesshaste wild_oscar http://www.infopackets.com/news/hardware/2006/20060824_32_bit_vs_64_bit_systems_whats_the_difference.htm [11:29] thanks iceroot, reading it [11:29] is there a reason why python2.6 is not available in 8.04 LTS? [11:30] deever: ubuntu never upgrade a software, just security-fixes [11:30] deever: hmm i thought it was 2.6 [11:30] deever: np install 2.6 and run it [11:31] Couldn't find your OpenSSL library installation dir [11:31] Use --with-openssl option to fix this problem [11:31] richardcavell I admit that I liked windows 7 when I tried, a little vista oversized style but it's so easy my mother could use it ... [11:31] software-wise, is it the same? I sometimes read on blogs/forums that people have a hard time installing/using software and someone comes along with the "oh, you're running 64 bit" kill phrase [11:31] If I want root on raid 0, should I use the intel drivers or software raid.... ? [11:31] Spikemcc: I think they got Win 7 right [11:32] im hi [11:32] richardcavell: Sup with that modem? [11:32] richardcave you have crypted linux with witch software ? [11:32] leaf-sheep: hey man, I got it all working [11:32] leaf-sheep: you can ssh to me if you like [11:32] Spikemcc: I haven't encrypted it [11:32] richardcavell: What was the issue? The link I gave you worked? [11:33] im trying to compile rdesktop [11:33] leaf-sheep: almost. It was the modem that was blocking port 22 [11:33] Spikemcc: I'm using encrypted + lvm system. If you want to encrypt your system, you want alternative ISO. [11:33] richardcavell yes but it's oversized a little ... they could have done a little more tweaking ... [11:33] and evry thing is good but some error after ./configr [11:33] richardcavell: Ahh, nice. So you found it yourself and remove the setting? [11:33] im trying to compile rdesktop when i do ./configer at work but at the end give me this error Couldn't find your OpenSSL library installation dir [11:33] Use --with-openssl option to fix this problem [11:34] leaf-sheep: in order to port forward through the modem, you need to forward 0.0.0.0 to my local IP [11:34] I never would have guessed that [11:34] indus: sure, but from source...

[11:47] I trust Sun to work hard on the 3D support [11:47] and fix all the bugs [11:47] richardcavell: do you know of any repo for 3.x? [11:47] Please help, I'm stuck using the Windows XP boot for now.

I'm stuck on Windows until I can get network-manager on Ubuntu again!

[11:51] worst case I can always checkinstall [11:51] richardcavell_ the VM 3d is slowly working on VmWare and VirtualBox as I know [11:51] Spikemcc: it's still officially experimental on VBox === CorpX is now known as Corpx`Sleep [11:51] any ideas? [11:51] they're actually encouraging the use of WineD3D [11:51] I didn't know vmware was also OSE, though [11:52] Adlai > sudo apt-get install wicd (on your terminal) [11:52] change it for better [11:52] anyone know scripts? [11:52] Spikemcc: huh? that won't work because I have no networking on ubuntu atm! [11:52] budo: can you be more specific? [11:52] I installed wicd, it doesn't see the wireless networks, and now I want to get network-manager back. [11:53] Adlai connect to a network cable man ... [11:53] Don't have one... [11:53] Adlai: in terminal type nm-applet [11:53] Adlai: and you will have it back [11:53] sudo apt-get install network-manager then add the applet [11:54] Hallo, ich habe Probleme das Root verzeichnis via sudo ls > /root anzusehen. Wie kann ich das noch berwerkstelligen? [11:54] is there no way to get it off the installation CD? [11:54] wicd see wifi connection I'm on it now ...

[11:55] !german | Xerro [11:55] see i want root to allow other members to run a script...except, when its run it has commands in it that are outside of their path and permissions...so, what can i do?

[11:55] network-manager worked fine, shit only broke now that I tried to use wicd. [11:55] I'm having panel issues, every reboot the icons on the right mostly jumble up and scramble around that side of panel and yes they are locked sometimes the left icons jumble but rarely. [11:55] leaf-sheep: do you use Virtualbox exclusively through a shell? [11:55] thx [11:55] I will help you with my wicd ... but wep, wpa, wpa2 connection ??? [11:55] Adlai, did you go into wicd preferences, and make sure it has the right device [11:55] Xerro: or you can ask in english and we will try to help [11:56] wild_oscar: What do you mean? I install Virtualbox and start it from GUI, although I think that can be accomplished via shell too. [11:56] Adlai, go to wicd, press preferences and tell me the wifi device [11:56] iMatter: I'm in fucking WinXP b/c I have no internet on my Ubuntu boot. [11:56] !language | Adlai [11:56] Adlai: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [11:56] sorry. [11:56] How do I get a GUI for wicd? [11:57] Adlai there is one ... [11:57] Adlai: you sound like a Repbulican! [11:57] Adlai, well when you get to ubuntu go to wicd, press perferences and see what it says under Wi-Fi interface [11:57] indus: under which name is python2.6 in hardy-backports? [11:57] hello, could someone tell me ewhether it is possible to install ubuntu without bunring it to a cd? [11:57] leaf-sheep: relates to my previous desktop vs server edition question - installing desktop edition means installing all its crap (office, gimp, etc), when all I really want is server + an X desktop for virtualbox management [11:57] deever: i only suggested searching in that [11:57] deever: wait let me check [11:57] iMatter: how do I "go to wicd"? [11:57] Applications>Network>wicd on your gnome menu [11:57] but I recall it to be more difficult to install server edition and then an X environment [11:58] ok, I'll try that out. [11:58] Adlai, type wicd-client into terminal [11:58] lint: use a usb [11:58] Thank you Spikemcc iMatter and mOrO^ (for the humor) [11:58] lint: usb key [11:58] adlai WAIT... [11:58] wild_oscar: I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish. Why do you want X on your server? [11:58] it's not humor ... it's true [11:58] richardcavell_: iam guessing, i copy the iso to usb then boot from usb? [11:58] richardcavell_ i dont have a usb key [11:58] ah well he'll be back [11:58] !wicd [11:58] Sorry, I don't know anything about wicd [11:59] !wifi [11:59] Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [11:59] indus: don't copy the iso to the usb [11:59] leaf-sheep: it is where I'm putting Virtualbox [11:59] indus: you 'burn' it to the usb [11:59] richardcavell_: huh what? how? [11:59] wild_oscar: Servers don't use GUI at all. Also, people at #ubuntu-server can help you figure out what you want. There also are virtualization which could do the job too. [11:59] hello, how do u force a webpage to open in a new tab in epiphany? [11:59] richardcavell_, is there any other way? [11:59] !virtualization | wild_oscar [11:59] wild_oscar: There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !kvm is the preferred approach in Ubuntu. See also !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications [11:59] lint: well, external hard disk [11:59] dsdeiz: you mean as opposed to a new window? [12:00] jrib: yep [12:00] lint: how else do you want it to work? You have to have an image of Ubuntu and boot from it [12:00] richardcavell_, yes i have the iso, but i cant use my cd-rom drive and i do not have a usb key [12:00] my virtual OS's don't need X, of course; but that was my question regarding Virtualbox: you said you manage it on an X-enabled machine [12:01] lint: you have to boot to something that contains the ubuntu image [12:01] dsdeiz: that wasn't possible (feature) at one point. Not sure if that has changed. Check with #epiphany [12:01] dsdeiz: in irc.gnome.org... === z is now known as Guest49224 [12:01] wild_oscar: I use/run it on my laptop. Not the server. [12:01] why is it that i hear the start up sound but no other sounds? [12:01] lint: do you have the .iso downloaded onto your desktop in Windows or something like that? [12:01] jrib: oh cool, they have their own ircd [12:01] jrib: thanks ;) [12:02] richardcavell_, yes precisely [12:02] lint: okay. [12:02] lint: are you saying your CD burner is broken? [12:02] Is there any way to view/be able to open, files on a network, ie theyre samba shared in bookmarks, but that wont list in a open dialog. [12:02] richardcavell_, the burner works but i have no discs [12:02] richardcavell_: how do you burn it to usb? [12:02] !sound | Guest49224 [12:02] Guest49224: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [12:03] indus: it is possible. Easier to burn it to CD and then copy it to usb [12:03] leaf-sheep, i've tried those thank you, they didn't help [12:03] lint: your easiest option is to go buy some discs. They're like 10 cents each [12:03] i did something mentioned on the forum [12:03] richardcavell_: u mean just copying an iso to usb will not work? [12:03] indus: it will not work [12:03] Guest49224: Run "sudo alsactl init" in the terminal. See if that helps. === yacc_ is now known as yacc [12:04] indus: the .iso file is an image. That image has to be imprinted somehow onto the medium [12:04] alsactl: Unknown command 'init'... [12:05] grawity: Hello. Remember I had an issue with svn+ssh no-passphrase autthentication? It asks me the passphrase again, or the keyring password to unlock it. I clicked Deny, and here is my variable: $ echo $SSH_AUTH_SOCK [12:05] /tmp/keyring-TxVPZt/socket.ssh [12:05] And the problem is? [12:05] is it possible to have a given application window on the top of firefox fullscreen mode ? [12:05] grawity: So, it seems we didn't manage passwordless access. [12:05] maxagaz: Press Alt+Tab. [12:05] richardcavell_: hmm no,actually the usb stick needs a grub kinda thing loaded onto it [12:05] Guest49224: alsamixer -- Make sure all bars are high and if you see any blue/gray 'm' on bottom, press m to unmute. [12:05] amikrop: Because you clicked Deny? [12:05] richardcavell_: i guess thats why its a little diff [12:06] grawity: It asked me for a password, but I don't want it to ask anything. I want it to be unlocked automatically on login. [12:06] indus: some computers can boot from a usb stick. Most can. [12:06] Mine can't. [12:06] richardcavell_: best is to use usb-creator [12:06] yep [12:06] amikrop: Then open Seahorse, and change your keyring password to match your login password. [12:06] leaf-sheep, i can't make headphone high [12:07] a headphone is what i'm using [12:07] grawity, i mean permanently [12:07] grawity: they are the same [12:07] it is stuck at 00 [12:07] Guest49224: I see. Press up do nothing? Try sudo alsamixer. (I doubt it though). [12:08] richardcavell_: the usb disk can only be created from a running linux os,or use netbootin in windows [12:08] leaf-sheep, doesn't work [12:08] amikrop: You sure? It shouldn't ask for the keyring pass then... how about deleting and re-creating it? === ubuntu_ is now known as Techie [12:09] leaf-sheep, the weird thing is i hear the startup sound [12:10] Okay I'm installing wine now guys. Gonna try to play half-life. [12:10] grawity: actually, I have automatic login [12:10] Guest49224: alsamixer -D hw:0 [12:11] grawity: could that be affecting? [12:11] amikrop: And that is exactly why it cannot automatically unlock the keyring. [12:11] amikrop: With automatic login, it doesn't even know your password. [12:11] leaf-sheep, nope [12:11] grawity: any solution, then? [12:11] amikrop: You could try removing the password from keyring too. [12:11] richardcavell_: HL1 will work under wine with no issues [12:11] leaf-sheep, i hear the startup sound on my headphone [12:12] indus: ? [12:12] deever: 1 sec [12:12] Guest49224: You may want to try install gnome-alsamixer and gnome-volume-control too and check their settings. [12:13] grawity: it is in "My Personal Keys" or "Passwords" tab of Seahorse? [12:13] amikrop: "Passwords". [12:13] grawity: it has login and default [12:13] Guest49224: Starting with gnome-alsamixer. One package at a time. [12:13] I have installed Ubuntu netbook remix on my netbook. It worked flawlessly. I did the automatic upgrade which did something like 100 package upgrades (I didn't use a daily release as it said they weren't working properly atm). The upgrade itself works fine, no error messages. It then tells me to reboot the system, so I reboot. Now, when gnome starts, it gives me the background image, and the desktop with icons (i can right click on it and peform the [12:13] grawity: should I remove the password of default? [12:13] amikrop: Hrmm. How about you delete both, then create "login"? [12:13] deever: i guess you need to compile [12:13] ok [12:13] This has happened twice after reinstalling and updating. [12:13] amikrop: Two keyrings can make things confusing. [12:13] indus: ok [12:14] is there something easy to encrypt linux ? [12:14] grawity: I created the password login, with no passphrase [12:15] amikrop: Okay, the keyring should be unlocked automatically then. [12:15] amikrop: Next time you use ssh, it should ask for the key's passphrase and store it - so after that, it should be really passwordless. [12:15] Spikemcc: Alternative disc have the option of full system encryption + lvm (exempt /boot). You'll have to start from scratch. [12:15] grawity: but from the next login, right? because now I was asked and gave the password, after the fix [12:15] oh, ok [12:15] grawity: thank you very much :-) [12:16] Spikemcc: Another option -- TrueCrypt. Not sure how to encrypt in TrueCrypt. Check their sites for Wiki and such. I know it's available in Windows. Linux is a good question. [12:16] I got the linux version installed it seem like a maze [12:17] leaf-sheep, still no sound [12:17] Guest49224: Did you look at settings in gnome-alsamixer? [12:18] leaf-sheep, there isn't much at settings [12:18] Spikemcc: Are you using Windows too? I myself used encryption + lvm option in alt.disc and it worked great. This is something linux native. [12:18] Guest49224: You toggled on headphone and such? [12:19] leaf-sheep, yes but there is not volume control for headphones [12:19] Guest49224: Install gnome-volume-control then. [12:19] there is mic, mic boos both are high [12:19] hey guys [12:20] ok I use windows also, I wanted to learn high security on linux as I don't use windows anymore, just for some games ... [12:20] I have installed Ubuntu netbook remix (jaunty) on my netbook. It worked flawlessly. I did the automatic upgrade which did something like 100 package upgrades (I didn't use a daily release as it said they weren't working properly atm).

When I'm downloading at big speeds my internet connection stops and I have to disable and enable wlan0 interface to work again. Forcing the download to stay at low speed doesn't kill my internet connection. It's not my router's fault or my card's fault because in Windows I'm not facing these problems. What can I do? [13:06] Titan8990_: so i can't call a people who has a yahoo id with ekiga? so why should i use ekiga ? is ekiga similar to skype ?

[13:39] mazda01, yes sudo works fine on other things [13:40] <_ruben> innociv: the access denied is because output redirection is done by your own user, not the sudo user [13:40] what can I do about it?

[13:41] Hello folks. Anyone have any experience with Genesis emulators? === scfh_ is now known as scfh [13:41] honestly no idea. Some fix for an error openfire gives. It says to do it in openfire install guides to fix an error I'm getting. [13:41] q [13:42] is there a guide for manually installing 9.04 server in an encrypted lvm [13:42] here's the problem I have a Acer Aspire One with ubuntu 9.04 installed, I want to run Windows XP in a Vbox on that Ubuntu install but can't due to the fact I got rid of the recovery partition on that computer, I do have a full dd command backup of the old windows xp that use to be on it but can't use that one because it remembers the old partition it was on an refuses to run on any other... [13:42] ...partition, unless I put a registry hack into that windows install but I can't edit the registry of that windows, so my question that I want to know is can I fix the backup of windows to make it runnable in either or both a Vbox and just straght out booting it? [13:42] *straight [13:42] Ravahan check on wikipedia emulator [13:43] innociv, then I am not sure. [13:44] I all ready tried a lot of things to edit the registry and other stuff but nothing works [13:44] is there a way i can like log into root when i have root login disabled? -_- Lol. [13:44] a tv tuner specialist here ? [13:44] ShapeShifter499 can you try and make your partitions same as your old ones? [13:44] Spike: Well, I'm having a specific issue here... I've got ZNES working fine with my Logitech Rumblepad, but I've tried DGen and Gens/GS so far and I can't get either of them to recognize the gamepad exists [13:44] And I'm wondering if anyone knows why that might be? [13:44] innociv, like, sudo -s -H ? [13:44] I'm rather new to linux [13:45] is there a way to create further restrictive app armor policies as an unprivileged user? I'm just trying to figure out the best way to make a "safe" wine, where I could run totally untrusted executables and feel completely assured that at worst my WINEPREFIX will get borked... [13:45] I want to workable Ubuntu DVD Burner? [13:45] why do i get "E: Couldn't find package libapache2-mod-security" ? [13:45] Ravahan: because DGen is really primitive, you'll need to make a config file [13:45] Ravahan try kcontrol to detect and make a gamepad setup ... [13:45] ShapeShifter499: no you can not 'fix' windoze image. [13:45] ty [13:45] zsnes detect gamepads but not dgen [13:46] I just installed Gens/GS today, and I like having the GUI... How could I go about getting that to detect the gamepad? [13:46] What's the best, and workable dvd burner for ubuntu? === sale_ is now known as sale [13:46] farroos: how? the old partition setup was the MBR, The recovery partition, and the windows [13:46] Like I said, I'm pretty new to windows.

[13:47] still getting error [13:47] farroos: and the recovery partition is gone now [13:47] ShapeShifter499: you _may_try to use vmware migration tools to set windoze on vmdk image file and use that with vbox later. If VMW tools still are free. [13:47] innociv, what is your error now? [13:47] I have a patch: http://pastebin.com/f11595374 [13:47] ohir: hows that going to help? [13:47] well gettting that nohup error.. but openfire is running so i guess it's okay [13:48] error404notfound, try updating apt before running that command. sudo aptitude update [13:48] i hope hans burn in hell if he see btfrs in kernel [13:48] ShapeShifter499: one way or another it entails restoring your dd backup and fresh install (if OEM image on ASone allows it). [13:49] ShapeShifter499: the hardware inside virtual machine is NOT that of your AOne. Windows can not be freely moved between different hw configs. [13:49] Alvinware: Do you mean software for burning dvd's? I use Gnomebaker or K3b and they both work fine for me [13:49] I have a patch: http://pastebin.com/f11595374 which I'm trying to apply to goffice I have apt-get sourced it but I can't get syntax right for command "patch" would not "patch -p1 patch.diff" work if wd is ./goffice/ ??

[13:51] like mine? [13:51] hehe [13:51] rotfl [13:51] I see nothing funny in that. [13:52] Shape: Registry editing is kind of tricky, especially if not done through the registry editor-- I'm sorry, but I don't think I'm quite familiar enough to chance your system here === firewall is now known as limpc [13:52] I'll just backup the files just in case [13:52] However, the registry should be recoverable to a previous version... [13:52] ShapeShifter499: you already has been hinted how to do it: Restore, install, migrate to vmdk, move to vbox. EOT. [13:52] ShapeShifter499: You may be able to open an external registry hive file using Wine's regedit, but I'm not sure if that will actually work. [13:52] If you can access the recovery console [13:52] can't all ready tried wine [13:53] * moncky wonders if he stumbled into #windows [13:53] There's a article in the support.microsoft.com database on doing a hive recovery via the recovery console [13:53] and if you think that would help, I suggest ya look into it. [13:53] Pici: he tries to manually set up in "registry" to let windoze work on another hardware layer. [13:53] moncky: Well someone asked for help hacking a server in here and nothing came of it either, I'm guessing the ops are all on vacation :P [13:53] moncky: Try ##linux. It can become #food, #philosophy, #porn and #apple - at once. [13:53] ShapeShifter499: ##windows would be the best place to continue troubleshooting. We can't support Windows here. [13:53] Ravahan: run this command 'zcat /usr/share/doc/dgen/examples/sample.dgenrc.gz > ~/.dgen/dgenrc' (without the single quotes) in a terminal. It will put an example of the config file into use, you can then customize it, it has directions at the top [13:53] ok Pici [13:54] Ademan: I will be very happy to try that. Give me a moment [13:54] going to windows IRC [13:56] Ademan: Alright, I ran that but didn't see any visible effect. How can I access this config file, if it did go through (I assume it did as I didn't receive an error). [13:56] tv tuner specialist here ???? [13:57] Ravahan: it is in your home directory (signified by the ~) in the directory .dgen in linux all files that start with a . are hidden, so if you go to places->home folder and then in the new window go to view->show hidden files you should see a directory '.dgen' and in there is the file 'dgenrc' which you can double click and edit === revygttam is now known as mattgyver [13:58] Ademan: Alrighty, let me see what I can find out here-- Thanks!!

I believe there is a little command to do that 'pastebinit' or something to that effect, but meh [14:48] download [14:48] u gave a url and fire fox asked if u wana instal [14:48] !pastebinit [14:48] pastebinit is the command-line equivelent of !pastebin .

[15:00] i have a question, can we resize an ext3 "/" partition on a multiboot winxp/ubuntu after all has been installed like i would lke to put more on ubuntu and less on windows xp ? i guess we do that with gparted with the live cd write ? doesn't it moves boot sectors ? [15:00] <^cheeky> hi, i just installed samba on my server , and i was wondering how would i connect to the samba share i created on the server ? [15:00] mazda01- the network hardware has worked with a 9.04 desktop regular install [15:00] can't install synce plugin [15:00] nvm [15:00] Ravahan: hey sorry, i'm used to x-chat flashing at me whenever someone says my name... i'm looking at it now [15:00] munna: that must be very, uhm..., uncomfortable these days...

I appreciate your time [15:01] Nitrousoxide: it would be Xubuntu Jaunty [15:01] Keba: "nautilus /" ? [15:01] Roland: ext3 [15:01] I want to help you munna [15:01] anybody ?

[15:02] Nitrousoxide: it probably won't mater that much, but XFCE is different from GNOME. [15:03] nautilus computer:/// is the command for the computer starter [15:03] Nitrousoxide: *buntus are all fundamentally the same, the differencie is in the GUI and some apps [15:03] Ravahan: I don't know if this will work, but you could try commenting out the keypad1 stuff (lines 26-37) and see if it's somehow overriding the joystick config [15:03] mazda01- actually, in another interesting turn of fate, after logging in, i get avout a page of -bash: /dev/null: permission denied befre being greeted with a prompt [15:03] StrangeCharm_: did you use "ifconfig -a"? [15:03] gnome and xfce both use GTK, right? [15:04] three 98 percent [15:04] munna: ok, you have the next command ready? [15:04] now what [15:04] oskar-- no, ifconfig -a shows me eth0 and lo, but there's no ip for eth0 [15:04] sory [15:04] type that again [15:04] Roland: aah [15:04] munna: do you have in in a empty directory?

How do I stop that without disabling it? [15:06] oskar- yes, i have perviously and successfuly used dhcp, including during install [15:06] could be cool to have an answer to my quesiton [15:06] oh man [15:06] i have a question, can we resize an ext3 "/" partition on a multiboot winxp/ubuntu after all has been installed like i would lke to put more on ubuntu and less on windows xp ? i guess we do that with gparted with the live cd write ? doesn't it moves boot sectors ? [15:06] no such file directory [15:06] yes [15:06] frd [15:07] jacquesdupontd: yes you can [15:07] jacquesdupontd: yes you can resize [15:07] munna: are you in the right directory? [15:07] no [15:07] wait [15:07] jacquesdupontd: thats easy and your plan is correct [15:07] let me rename it [15:07] i named it what [15:08] munna: you can also type the first few letters, and press tab to complete it. [15:08] yes<< [15:08] !tab | munna [15:08] munna: You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.

[15:08] jacquesdupontd: hi how are you [15:08] i got into it [15:08] jacquesdupontd: ca va [15:09] munna: the next command is sh ati-driver-installer-9-6-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/9.04 [15:09] hi all i have problem with the memory usage pattern of ubuntu or linux i dont know : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7646128 is the related thread. Is there anyone who can help me? [15:09] indus, the disk is ~300Gb i was thinking about 4 partitions, root, home, swap and a partition for dual-boot purposes [15:09] oskar- ?

[15:10] munna: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[15:10] is someone know how to set a default backpath for joe ??? [15:10] indus, but maybe it'd would be better if i had a fifth one for "media" [15:10] !paste | munna [15:10] munna: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic [15:10] <^cheeky> hi i just installed samba, in 8.10 server and i cant find my samba users file under /etc/samba/ directory when i do a ls -la i only see smb.conf and gdbcommands .. [15:10] indus, im ok and you ? [15:10] StrangeCharm_: can you log into gnome and configure the network interface to dhcp? or is it set this way? [15:10] Roland: i dont what the partition about dual boot means, but keep say 15gb for root , rest for home [15:10] Roland: swap keep 1 gb [15:11] <^cheeky> coz iam just configureing samba so i can upload some files to test mediatomb [15:11] StrangeCharm_: you also mentioned a problem with /dev/null. is it still there? [15:11] Roland: because root keeps increasing with time as you install packages [15:11] munna: did you download the file to ~/what/ ? [15:11] Roland: but i dont think it will really go beyond 10 gb [15:11] no [15:11] !who | munna [15:11] munna: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [15:11] oskar- neither x nor gnome are installed, but i could set it to dhcp from the cli. though i thought it was automatically set to use dhcp. and yes, when i log in i get that message [15:12] munna: where did you download it to? [15:12] before i put it to desktop now im in what/ [15:12] what's a good book to learn python? [15:12] munna: Are you from India? [15:12] For some reason Synaptic thinks I have a proxy configured, but in fact I don't have any proxy configured anymore. (The Gnome system proxy is set to a direct internet connection, the one in the configuration of Synaptic is also set to direct connection and my http_proxy variable is unset). [15:12] StrangeCharm_: maybe these have to do with a problem in udev (?) [15:12] yes [15:12] !in | munna [15:12] munna: #ubuntu-in is the channel for Ubuntu in India [15:12] oskar- -bash: /dev/null: Permission denied [15:12] so [15:12] So, how can I convince Synaptic _not_ to use a proxy? [15:12] oskar-- udev, i am not familiar with udev [15:13] um i think whites r more helpful [15:13] munna: If you want on your desktop, run: cd ~/Desktop [15:13] munna: is what a directory on your desktop? [15:13] for get it [15:13] i drag droped it into what [15:13] munna: cd ~/Desktop/what [15:13] indus, you really think that a 250GB /home partition would be a good idea? [15:14] Roland: If you're going to switch to linux, I think separate home partition is good idea. [15:14] Roland: well, if iam gonna store movies etc then why not, what do you have in mind? [15:14] Ravahan: yeah, it's a good sign though... it's a shame dgen doesn't have a nice configuration utility... [15:14] oskar- okay, google is my friend, but i still don't have enough information to help me solve this problem [15:15] I posted a link for my problem here: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/ntp-server-repeatedly-stoppingstarting-741395/ [15:15] leaf-sheep: unless a user asks for help in a specific language, dont point them to the official country channel [15:15] Ademan: Now, I also have Gens/GS, but that won't detect it [15:15] ummmm im not trying to be rasistic [15:15] leaf-sheep: btw,iam from india too,but the language in that channel is also english [15:15] StrangeCharm_: sorry, i am also not familiar with udev... maybe https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/63031 give a solution for at least one of the problems [15:15] Ademan: As I mentioned earlier, I'd actually prefer that one because it has a nice GUI [15:15] oskar-- can a user access /dev/null by default? also, if udev is broken, why can i see my network hardware, and why isn't anything else broken? [15:15] yes [15:15] this is where everyone is, so that channel is mostly useless [15:15] oskar-- looking at that link [15:16] indus: Roger. [15:16] leaf-sheep: :) [15:16] indus: I agree, the ubuntu-nl channel is usually empty and dead and boring, so i'm here. [15:16] jacquesdupontd: iam good man, how have you been, tres bien? [15:16] Ademan: Is there a way to force Gens/GS to recognize the pad? [15:16] is there an "accepted" method to sidestep the intel driver performance issues in jaunty? I've seen plenty of posts about using packages from debian, but that feels incredibly dirty and dangerous, since having binary compatibility issues with your kernel or xorg driver are a pretty big deal... so is there a PPA or backports or something? [15:17] whats a tool that downloads streaming mp3 podcast (Icecast) and saves the songs to individual tracks? [15:17] StrangeCharm_: my idea is, that some startup scripts not run by root fail to connect their commands /dev/null and therefore for example "dhclient" fails [15:17] Ravahan: unfortunately, while i'm somewhat familiar with dgen (barely...) i've never touched Gens/GS [15:17] Ademan: lol this seems like such a silly thing to be so difficult. I just wanna play sega :'( [15:17] Threetimes: ya all these sub-channels are useless,unless someone is looking for language help, and that too i feel can be helped in pm by some user here [15:17] what's a good book to learn python? [15:17] Threetimes: like some guy from nether wants help, you can help him in pm anyways [15:17] ninja: join #python will have better help [15:17] ninja: a byte of python by SwaroopCH [15:18] ninja: try #python also "learning python" by oreilly. oreilly makes awesome books. note that if you go into #python they can direct you to some very good free resources [15:18] ubuntu-in channel is active ,but no where remotely as useful or informative as this [15:18] oskar- i see, i'll read this bug report in more detail to find out if i can get a solution [15:18] but munna, have you found the directory with the big file already? [15:18] thanks [15:18] Hi, I was having some trouble earlier... [15:18] ninja: also wesley chun's book [15:18] ya im instaling the packags [15:18] I'd just like to say that the help from the folks here worked, and I'm back on Ubuntu. [15:18] Ademan: Alright, well thanks for trying! Is there some kind of standardized command to write config files like you instructed me to do with DGen that I could mess around with? [15:18] thanks :) [15:19] munna: good. If you've done that, just reboot your pc and see if it works... [15:19] indus, i've been in a long travel in my mind during those last 4 days it was perfect to have a new start [15:19] Hello all [15:19] I have a question [15:19] I already found the issue myself; Synaptic is the suxors in short. [15:19] well indus i have to reboot to test something [15:19] see ya in a sec [15:19] Ravahan: not really, that's one of linux's weaknesses, there are billion different ways to do stuff (which is also nice) but as a result everything works differently :-/ [15:19] ok [15:19] i wan to rename all file *.png On *.gif [15:19] when i can ? [15:20] ok [15:20] Okay [15:20] sebyoga: rename can do that [15:20] done [15:20] munna: with a HD 2400 it should just work, but you might have xorg.conf problems. To be shure, there's two more commands. [15:20] sebyoga: you know that renaming them will not change the fact that they are png files right? you probably want to *convert* them to gifs [15:20] heh, I got another for you guys (Feelin' like I hit the gold mine finding #ubuntu here...) [15:20] thanks for your help [15:20] Does anyone here run Vuze? [15:20] no rename no convert :) [15:20] pb with IE6 [15:20] :o) [15:20] Threetimes: thanks for ur patiance [15:20] munna: cd /etc/X11/; sudo cp xorg.conf xorg.conf.backup [15:21] huh [15:21] munna: aticonfig --initial [15:21] sebyoga: mv and xargs should be what you are looking at [15:21] i need to run those right now [15:21] Oh, and when will Ubuntu audio stop sucking? [15:21] ok i have to go now folks [15:21] good luck [15:21] munna: just to be sure. xorg.conf is a very importans configuration file. aticonfig "resets" that file. [15:22] I doubt that the people developing Pulse audio actually use it. [15:22] munna: you can reboot your pc now, but if you get no grapics, run those commands, and reboot again. [15:22] I installed Vuze, a java-based torrent manager that I use in XP, through Synaptic, but when I start it I get the error "exec: 11: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/java: not found" [15:22] oohh [15:22] hi anyone knows how to register on IRC?

[16:31] Ok, I think I've thoroughlly munged the Samba install. I tried to apt-get remove --purge the samba package, to no avail, the configuation directories i.e. /etc/samba were still present.

[16:33] <_UsUrPeR_> ikonia: I am talking about broadcasting, not receiving. You are correct about that though. [16:33] |PaperTiger|, there should be no risk ;-) [16:33] world_ate_jimmy: you have only one big partition? [16:33] lyhana8, yes, as firefox-3.5 [16:33] right now, yes [16:33] Why would 9.04 fail to configure network interfaces? [16:33] i wanted to ditch that but i was short of time [16:33] <|PaperTiger|> Incarus, I still don't want to push my luck. DIdn't go to well last time I tried playing about with something like that.

This should be automatic. [16:39] lyhana8, but if you use a new graphic card, then opensuse is a good idea ;-) [16:39] Incarus, does the fact that jaunty is running in a vbox change things? [16:39] yes, it worked === Guest52871 is now known as Spikemcc [16:40] doc_brown, not really [16:40] Welcome back all !!! [16:40] lyhana8: So?

My Ubuntu 9.04 installation told me it needed to check my drive after 20 boots and did so, stopped after 16% and exited on me into a command prompt of root. fsck tells me my harddisk is defective, and i wonder, is there anyway to force it to reboot anyway? [18:17] meiki2000: the power button works really well at reboots [18:17] thanks j2daosh but the problem is that at restart ubuntu tells me that the last shutdown was unclean and it restarts the drive scan after which it stops after 16% [18:17] sorry for not being clear [18:18] i guess i must have primary partion and a swp partition right > [18:18] i dont think you can bypass that but I'm not sure [18:18] google might have your answer [18:18] if i have 3 GB ram ..how mush shd be the swp [18:18] Hey.

Port 5900 is open... [18:20] opengyan11: with this much RAM, it doesn't matter. Just accept ubuntu default [18:21] j2daosh: is that the only way?

[18:26] opengyan11: yes that should be fine, but i suggest to take a look at the forums(ubuntuforums.org), just in case. [18:26] trae: for an important server I would go with something that backups the entire server.. so you just restore a disk image or similar and start again [18:26] Jessicatz: it should just be as easy as '/etc/X11/x :0 -depth 16' [18:26] : 0 [18:26] but without the space [18:27] yea I can read it okay [18:27] snape: thx === hendrikb is now known as Guest24428 [18:27] What is the latest KDE build?

[18:37] Slart,good question -- sorry got a call. Perhaps there is a way to run clonezilla while the machine is in-use. Not sure.

[19:00] the thing is though that this is hard to maintain and does make a mess when you have to figure out what group does what (ive got a chart but it does get irritating).

You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. [19:10] how do we know when the next release is coming out? [19:11] mattgyver: Jessicatz: I routinely 'mv /usr/sbin/gdm /usr/sbin/gdm.bak'. This lets me login via to a terminal session. I then start gnome by typing 'startx'. On exit, it goes back to the terminal session. Does this help? [19:11] Donedeez, both are cli, but just monitor tcpdump -i (interface) [19:11] sd32: Releases come out every 6 months.

I placed an "authorized keys" file in the .ssh fldr of the new account, but the person cannot login.. do I have to enable something else somehwere? [19:14] darkblue_B: did you put the key in an authorized_key file? [19:15] yes - he sent me his public key and I put that into /home/guest/.ssh/authorized_keys [19:15] there was no .ssh dir there before so I made it [19:15] darkblue_B: and he comes as user "guest" ? === DreamThief is now known as knechtrootrecht [19:15] how can i restart a process with PS command? [19:16] darkblue_B: check directory and file permissions on /home/guest/.ssh and whats in .ssh... [19:16] Kyrottimus: ps is not used for restarting processes [19:16] Kyrottimus: you'll have to kill the process then start another process of the same program [19:16] lstarnes: i can do it on freebsd like: ps -HUP pidnum [19:16] dakarn, any idea? [19:16] Klavier: It's 'kill', not 'ps'. [19:16] Klavier: Even on BSD, it's 'kill'. [19:17] darkblue_B: have him do 'ssh -v' on his end and see what it says. Also, the permissions on the .ssh directory you made are important. I think it has to be rwx by owner only. [19:17] yes it s kill [19:17] sorry [19:17] Klavier: -HUP also doesn't restart anything -- it's just that daemons usually interpret it as "Please reload your configuration". [19:17] ok [19:17] checking [19:18] hey ubuntu [19:18] greets guys, on a clean install: when i go `crontab -l` , it returns "no crontab for dyson" [19:18] Hello all [19:18] DysonReturns: at first you have to create a crontab ;) [19:19] Hello [19:19] how (and where is a good place) to i setup a crontab file for my user [19:19] DysonReturns: you can do that using crontab -e [19:19] I'm running Jaunty right now, and hvae skype installed. Whenever I start up, skype runs automatically [19:19] crontab -e shows that i'm editing a file in /tmp/ [19:19] its not in my startup sessions at all [19:19] DysonReturns: when you save, that will be moved to your crontab [19:19] orly [19:19] DysonReturns: also, see 'man crontab' and 'man 5 crontab' [19:19] DysonReturns: yes [19:20] hi people! dont you guys know why while them panel-menu is dropped down, FN + printscreen doesnt work? [19:20] hi i'm getting this error when I try to apt-get update [19:20] The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 5EB2EDFE1FCB21DB [19:20] DysonReturns: it's first made in /tmp so that it doesn't overrwrite the original until you save === knechtrootrecht is now known as DreamThief [19:20] Evidently, the fglrx driver does not support 16bit color depth. thanks for the help [19:20] DysonReturns: that's normal: it's just the temporary edit copy. When you exit the editor, the final version will be copied to /var/spool/cron/crontabs... [19:20] is ist possible that a install cd burnt at 48 rpm will not run properly for install on an older, slower cd drive on a lapto? [19:21] frak_: one of the sources in your apt menu is not authorized [19:21] frak_: /etc/apt/sources.list [19:21] frak_: you will need to download that key and load it with apt-key [19:21] hi [19:22] hbsnam_: I've heard things like that, but can't prove it [19:22] losher ortsvorsteher I did have a mistake.. I dint change the perms of /home/guest/.ssh [19:22] hbsnam_: it's very possible. Faster burns are usually lower quality. Also, some cds are less compatible with some brands of reader. Try checking the md5sum of the burnt cd. And/or reburn at 4x. Finally, try a different brand of CD... [19:22] but I have corrected that, and the login has failed again [19:23] hbsnam_ : i dont think so, but it may dont write it good enough. so it may become useless, i use x8 [19:23] hbsnam_: a cd written at a high speed might be unreadable by older drives, try burning at 4X, it burns "deeper" and makes it easyer for very old drives to read [19:23] thanks [19:23] .ssh is drwx------ guest guest [19:23] darkblue_B: can you paste the output from 'ssh -v' from the client? [19:23] how to hide a folder [19:24] haanuj: hide it from whom?

[19:26] Hey all - I have a VPS with Ubuntu 8.04 server edition on it [19:26] haanuj: mosy file browsers don't list files or directories that start with a . [19:26] it doesn't appear to have the crontab binary [19:26] *most [19:26] it can't find crontab at least [19:26] hi [19:26] Is there a package I need to install to get crontab? [19:26] to hide folder, precede it's name with a dot (.) [19:26] others channels ubuntu in spanish? [19:26] haanuj: although there's usually a setting to allow showing of "hidden" folders/files [19:26] chechov: #ubuntu-es [19:26] Striking7, normally not [19:26] thks [19:26] hi [19:27] thanx [19:27] so anybody know why printscreen not working while menu is dropped down?

I just did an apt-get install cron and I have crontab now [19:27] Anyone with an idea when webcams will work properly in ubuntu? [19:28] .... why the cron package wasn't already selected I don't know [19:28] lstarnes: can I somehow figure out which ones? I managed to recursively change the ownership of it? [19:28] arand: http://pastebin.com/f7751a897 is what I have [19:28] lomb, you doesn't follow the install instructions [19:28] ProfOak, gnome? [19:28] its .deb, what install instruction? [19:28] ProfOak, right-clic on your panel [19:28] print screen should work with menu down, just Alt+Prtsc [19:28] Preferences [19:28] progre55: Yes gnome [19:29] ProfOak, compiz? [19:29] ashka: the rest is transparent, except the handles [19:29] progre55: yes compiz [19:29] ProfOak, it's not possible to switch the handles transparent [19:29] ProfOak, opacity, brightness, and saturation> in the opacity tab > add "name=gnome-panel" level "85"(any level you like) [19:30] <^cheeky> hi, if i am in my server via sftp, and iam in the directory where i want to drop some files from my main machine .. what command would i use .. i mean it would "put"but how do i give the path way of my desktop machine to my server [19:30] !upkg [19:30] Sorry, I don't know anything about upkg [19:30] ProfOak, oh that was all in the ccsm btw =) [19:30] darkblue_B: as you can see, none of the keys offered by the client were accepted by the server. Please check that client:.ssh/id_rsa.pub matches an entry in server:~/.ssh/authorized_keys === photon is now known as lol [19:30] lstarnes: okay, seems doable, phew..

[19:31] americasarmy.com [19:31] eager_geek, nope, not working.. I use a laptop, and I press fn+alt+printcreen [19:31] arand: I'm not sure if rebooting would automatically fix permissions [19:31] ^cheeky: You might want to try the integrated SFTP support in GNOME -- just click Places -> Connectg to server... [19:31] losher yes - he sent me the result of ssh-keygen, which I just copied entirely to guest/.ssh/authorized_keys [19:31] grawity: when I save in Gedit, Notepad lose formating [19:31] lstarnes: it asks me: "File to write to: /tmp/crontab.H6f4aC/crontab" [19:31] progre55: I don't think that works [19:31] DysonReturns_: Press Enter. [19:31] lstarnes: where is a good space to put this crontab file? [19:31] rsa_id.pub was the default name of his file [19:31] hello [19:31] DysonReturns_: just save it there [19:32] did u install kojoney on ubuntu? [19:32] DysonReturns_: it'll automatically move to the right place [19:32] DysonReturns_: When its done, it'll say: installing new crontab, or similar, and then it'll be good. [19:32] jonathan__: a properly installed mplayer plays pretty much anything I've ever thrown at it. Wanna try that next...? [19:32] progre55: opacity or opacify? [19:32] ProfOak, do you actually have compiz enabled? and did you enable "opacity, brightness, saturation" as well? [19:32] but doesnt my /tmp/ get killed? [19:32] every now and agian [19:32] progre55: oh my mistake, wrong menu [19:32] =) [19:32] DysonReturns_: it will not stay in /tmp [19:32] DysonReturns_: crontab command will automatically move the new crontab from /tmp once you save it. [19:32] <^cheeky> grawity, umm sorry stupid question, i take it then it would be ssh i choose then or ftp ? [19:33] ^cheeky: SSH. [19:33] DysonReturns_: it'll be moved to a permanent location afterwards [19:33] <^cheeky> grawity, i already am sshd into my server, via terminal === Vellas is now known as Vellas|wech [19:33] eager_geek: Windows systems use CR/LF line endings, and Notepad, being the simplest editor of all, doesn't recognize anyything else. And gedit, like most Unix programs, uses just the LF to mark end of line. There are commands "dos2unix" and "unix2dos" (in package tofrodos) that convert one to other. [19:33] lstarnes: always woth a try I guess... [19:33] darkblue_B: time for a bigger gun. On the server, kill sshd and restart it with "-d" to get debugs from the *server* this time. And paste.... [19:34] losher: ok i will try. do i have to compile it or should it work to simply install it? [19:34] eager_geek: But an easier way would be to use a Windows editor that _does_ support Unix-style line endings -- notepad2 from http://flos-freeware.ch/ is a nice one. [19:34] losher ok [19:34] Thank you. [19:34] eager_geek: The "SSH" option in GNOME actually opens a SFTP connection for file transfers.

[19:48] dundel: Does it work on 8.04? That's supported until 2011. But you should wait and see if it works on 9.10 once its released. [19:48] dundel: 8.04.3 is the long term support one though, that's got about another two years of support on the desktop. Also when 9.04 comes out loads of people should clean install really, for the default Ext4 file system :) only way to have the proper thing, since the conversion won't quite do it [19:48] Hi, iäm completly new to linux ubuntu and are now trying toconnect to internet with a modem but need help to fint the connect and dissconnect button :D [19:48] dundel: when 9.10 comes out above [19:48] I am connected becosue i checked "connect automaticly" [19:49] how can i access nautilus graphically?

[19:50] i only have the add, edit and remove button (swedish translated) [19:50] Hola! [19:50] !es | lorux [19:50] lorux: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés.

[20:17] i'm running a custom ubuntulive.iso i'm using withe preinstalled sw [20:17] NarbFarkus: well it seems like a native (not java) shared library (.so) is loaded and it fails becouse the lib is 32 bit [20:17] soreau true! same here! i just try it every release and kick it of the disc asap [20:17] NarbFarkus: AFAIK, you can run 32bit os on 64bit hw [20:18] erUSUL: yeah I agree, but there are 64-bit libraries and it works on other 64-bit systems [20:18] soreau: glad to hear I am not the only one who is giving 64bit a pass [20:18] like Hardy, etc [20:18] NarbFarkus: so maybe what you are trying to load is not pure java it uses jni or something [20:18] and this isn't one application, I've tried a few that use jni, same error on all of them [20:18] th0r soreau i really don't know anyone who uses 64bit on a every-day-machine [20:19] cyberfux: The ones with the really strange problems :) [20:19] Does anyone know how to fix this: error: "Operation not permitted" setting key "fs.file-max" ? === disco_stu_N800 is now known as disco_stu [20:19] DoA: What is giving you that message? [20:19] Cyberfux. soreau, th0r: The ones that use 64bit are the ones who are using more then 3gb ram all the tme. [20:19] soreau pardon? [20:20] cyberfux: Bad joke, sorry [20:20] hmm, maybe it has to do with tmpfs [20:20] arleslie well i have more then 3 gb (4) but the trouble wasn't worth the win [20:20] arleslie: You can't use >3GB without 64bit os? [20:20] Help. I cannot install Ubuntu. I get an "resizing has been aborted" error. [20:20] Any ideas? [20:21] soreau, in Windows you can't im not to sure about ubuntu as Im just a novice [20:21] arleslie soreau max 3 GB under 32bit also in Linux. Has to do with the architecture, that can't handle more [20:21] Would this be the correct place to ask for help with a Skype sound issue?

[20:22] bye bye [20:22] arleslie, soreau: Both Windows and Linux can handle a lot of RAM if the hardware supports PAE (Physical Address Extensions). [20:23] soreau: It's just that Windows has an artificial limit for compatibility reasons. (Read The Old New Thing's blog and you'll see what I mean.) [20:23] grawity, 2gb is for your programs to use, 1gb is for windows and any more is for the hardware [20:23] arleslie: Um, that is _virtual_ address space. Not physical. [20:23] soreau, sorry for the slow response. I'm trying to resize my Vista partition. [20:23] It's 230gb~ [20:23] I am getting one minute sound delays whenever i make a call in skype; using ubuntu 9.04 [20:23] is it actually possible to filter hidden files and folders with gFTP? everytime I'm transfering projects to our webserver, it also transfer all the .svn files along (which takes a lot of time) [20:24] DaemonLee, You gParted [20:24] NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now.

[20:24] DaemonLee, if you don't have it install you can use, sudo apt-get install gparted [20:24] DaemonLee: Yes, try gparted [20:24] arleslie: He's trying to install ubuntu [20:25] soreau: With more than ~3.4 GB, the CPU must support it. The feature is PAE (Physical Address Extension). [20:25] is now ubuntu installation default filesystem type ext4 when chpoosing install easy way? take whole disk? [20:25] I want to setup a service to start on boot. When using the /etc/init.d/skeleton file must i code the 'start, stop, and restart' commands or are these already functional?

[20:25] grawity: Ah yes, I see that when compiling my gentoo kernel sometimes [20:25] mattgyver: you should at least code the start and stop [20:26] burkmat, have you tried sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop === Jebe_ is now known as Je09be [20:26] arleslie, Only removes the metapackage and leaves everything it brought with it...

[20:27] how do you get azureus to behave sensibly? I have installed it with apt-get but then when it updates itself it still runs the old version [20:27] soreau, arleslie: Windows has artificial caps - XP is limited to 4 GB for compatibility, the server editions have limits of up to 64 GB (probably for marketing reasons) - but they still support PAE. [20:27] wow, actually don't need change the cd/dvd filesystem to udf, also works! half a night gone...! lol.

[20:27] ale__, what you tried so far ? [20:28] I just plugged it in [20:28] cyberfux, where can I find this whitelist ? [20:28] and noticed that the driver needed is...

I make it a practice to google about the product I;m interested in with keyword 'linux problem' or 'trouble' [20:28] burkmat, you can try sudo apt-get autoremove, but I don't know any other way other then to remove them manuly [20:28] maginot: yes, I'd like to use it in skype [20:28] I think my issue with java/jni/64-bit had to do with tweaks to my SSD [20:28] cyberfux, english is fine [20:28] ale__, what is the model of you webcam ? [20:28] /tmp wasn't executable [20:28] it actually possible to filter hidden files and folders with gFTP? everytime I'm transfering projects to our webserver, it also transfer all the .svn files along (which takes a lot of time) [20:29] it's an intuix, it should be supported [20:29] arleslie, but I fear I might remove something I need. will aptitude stop me if I try to remove something which is a dependency currently needed? [20:29] mattgyver: No, to run services as user, you should probably place them in your startup sessions [20:29] ale__, well, on 9.04, apt-get isntall libv4l-0 ? [20:30] mattgyver: As a general rule, anything in the /etc files will be run as root [20:30] soreau, i guess the only issue with that on my end is that this is a server not running botting directly into gnome [20:30] hi,using 8.10, a process called phy0 works, what is it? if i stop it, what will happen?do you use it? [20:30] mattgyver: I was just thinking about that.. try asking in ##linux for better answers perhaps [20:30] How do I change the default handlers for URL's etc (in aMSN i.e.) ?

Version 8.1.7-1 (jaunty), package size 222 kB, installed size 1008 kB [21:13] Thanks arleslie, I will send ubuntu to them === michameyer_ is now known as michameyer [21:13] Does anyone know of a good weather tracking program? [21:13] unop: I have encountered mostly FAT drives, but some NTFS and other file systems. It depends on how much computer experience the user has [21:13] spursncowboys, then I would just send them ubuntu, but check out edubuntu and see if you would like it for them, http://www.edubuntu.org/ [21:13] can anybody help me [21:13] FAT? [21:14] !ask | toni_ [21:14] toni_: 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. :-) [21:14] I went there and was still unsure if it was designed with the idea of being for kids, or for teachers. [21:14] then help me out [21:14] uccadmin, ok, have a look at pmount (policy mount) - you can use it to apply certain policies or use policy sets when mounting volumes (some trouble getting it configured and replacing gnome-mount,etc tho) [21:14] spursncowboys, its for both, so then just send ubuntu [21:14] spursncowboys: Both, really. [21:14] how can I remove the buddyicons from Pidgins buddy list and reduce the height of each buddys row? [21:15] toni_: you have to ask a question before someone can help [21:15] ok will do. [21:16] can somebody help me get the remote desktop to work.i have had some of the people in here to help me [21:16] but no luck [21:16] what is afs3-kaserver (port 7004/tcp) [21:16] ? [21:16] uccadmin, there's also some indication that the gnome-volume-manager can be configured - not sure exactly how. [21:16] i have done what thay tould me to do [21:16] run this .run that [21:17] toni_, what seems to the the problem, are you trying to remote desktop to a remote computer or are you trying to set up remote desktop on a ubuntu server? [21:17] toni_: you have to give us some details on what isn't working with remote desktop before we can help. Are you trying to view Ubuntu from Ubuntu, or Windows/Mac from Ubuntu, or Ubuntu from Windows/Mac? Do you get error messages? What are they? [21:17] erUSUL: Do you know of a shell script that does tha [21:17] yes i guess [21:18] ubuntu from ubuntu [21:18] wfiuewfew1: that does what ? === arthur_ is now known as TheArthur [21:18] erUSUL: A script that monitors cpu and memory utilization === murat is now known as Guest43693 [21:18] I JUST TOULD YALL WHAT I NEEED NOW HELP ME OUT [21:18] is it doable or not? === rrussell is now known as rhyno [21:19] unop: I'll look into that. Thanks for your help [21:19] toni_, your not giving us enough info to help and remember that this is community help. [21:19] toni_: You been to System->Preferences->External Desktop on the machine you want to view and allowed people to see and control its desktop? [21:19] yes i have doen all this shit \ [21:20] ok [21:20] toni_: please control your language [21:20] OK [21:20] dont ask me to do something that i have done [21:20] How were they supposed to know what you have done? [21:21] toni_: the people here are trying to help, work with them to help them to help you [21:21] yall have just askd y me and i have toul [21:22] the guy next to me has an ubuntu 7 box and would like to upgrade to ubuntu 9 (or whatever's latest) === ubuntu is now known as Bodsda [21:22] i have try'd to use my ip's and it is not working [21:22] <|F5|> XD [21:22] <|F5|> hello [21:22] dist-upgrade flags 64 packages for update, so that seems a little light for two versions [21:22] ericP: it's easier to do a clean install, more so with the older releases. [21:22] <|F5|> how are they? [21:22] toni_: Have you disabled "Confirm access to this machine"? And set up "Require users to type this password"? And "Configure the network to accept connections automatically"? [21:23] ericP: it upgrades through the versions, so you have to go 7.04->7.10->8.04->8.10->9.04 [21:23] I DONT KNOW HOW [21:23] ikonia, cool - that's consistent with the feedback of the upgrade manager [21:23] ikonia, i guess it's a question of whether to burn a cd or babysit a lot -- tx [21:23] ericP: so it will upgrade thorugh the versions, you'll have to do additional upgrades [21:23] plese i really need one on one help [21:23] toni_: If you remember, I asked if you had been to External Desktop? It's all in there. [21:24] yes i got it [21:24] ericP: burn a cd - clean install. Lots have changed from 7.04 to 9.04 [21:24] toni_: you have to ask a question (I have no idea what you need help with after reading your last 2 statements) [21:24] remote deskto p [21:24] !who | toni_ [21:24] toni_: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [21:24] wfiuewfew1: check the package i mentioned. the sar command is what you are looking for [21:25] i need help [21:25] heya i'm using exaile 0.2.14 and just wanted to ask, if the last.fm radio plugin (0.2.7) works for anyone right now? [21:25] yall know now what i need help on [21:25] hi all [21:25] so help me out [21:25] toni_: clam down please [21:25] toni_: you need patience. before then, no one can help you [21:25] toni_: work with people rather than just keep saying help me [21:26] I've seen that there are a lot of repository for Firefox 3.5 for Ubuntu Jaunty... could you suggest me the most stable? or at least one stable repository? [21:26] toni_: if you actually want help then 1) ask a question on a single line and 2) if someone is helping you address them directly by prefixing what you write with their name. Stop saying "help me" [21:26] Andy80: it's in the universe repo [21:26] Andy80: from ubuntu [21:26] HOW CAN I WORK WITCH PEOPLE WHO ASK ME THE SAME GOD DAME ??/ THAT I NEED HELP ON [21:26] toni_: drop the attitude and the caps lock please. People are trying to help [21:27] jrib: I am trying to help him, but he doesn't seem to want to be helped. When I ask questions about what he's done to make it work already, he gets exacerbated. [21:27] YALL R NOT HELPING [21:27] toni_: final warning [21:27] or what [21:27] toni_: stop please. OttifantSir seems to know your issue. Try working with him. Answer his questions so he can help you [21:27] toni_: drop the caps and the attitude, clam down and work with someone, listen to what they sayt to you [21:27] hey i just install ubuntu and i cant seem to raise my resolution i have the drivers installed its the nividia 96 driver, with a nvidia geforce 4 card can anyone help me out? [21:27] toni_: You are about a hair's breadth from being kicked. I'm not an op, so I have no control. Just a friendly warning. [21:27] any idea on this gosa error? [21:27] Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_gosa_version() in /usr/share/gosa/include/php_setup.inc on line 80 [21:28] !fixres > klenz1 [21:28] klenz1, please see my private message [21:28] hello all [21:28] konquerer is the web browser in kde, not ubuntu?? [21:28] toni_: Ask your question, wait for someone to reply, if no one replies then no one knows the answer, if you have someone helping you please wait for them to reply, if you have been helped before don't get mad if they don't know what you've done before. [21:28] i mean not firefox [21:29] are there any ubuntu developers in this room, or is it best to just submit a bug to launchpad? [21:29] baz_: sort of (you can run them the other way around, they'll feel a little out of place if you do) [21:29] mrmoney: yes to both, probably :) [21:29] possible to auto mount these hard drives without having to click on them everytime i boot? [21:29] mrmoney: if it's a bug, submit a bug [21:29] <|stevenv|> ciao a tutti [21:29] well, it's an issue with the 180 version of the nvidia driver for the dell xps 153- [21:29] 1530* [21:30] will you plese help me try to find out how to get remote desk top to work the right way plese .and thank you [21:30] SD391: I don't know a pretty gui way to do that. Editing fstab still works. [21:30] mrmoney: are you sure, I'm on that laptop [21:30] <|stevenv|> !list [21:30] This is not a file sharing channel (or network). If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [21:30] konquerer is the DEFAULT browser in KDE, switching your default browser to firefox is easy, though [21:30] the 173 version works perfectly, but the 180 version has severe issues [21:30] mrmoney: just state your issue [21:30] SD391, you can make a .sh script to have it run on start up [21:30] it basically doesn't refresh the page properly. if you know what i mean. [21:30] mzz, i mean new to kubuntu, installed it on my laptop, is konquerer a proper browser? does it have plugins or anything? [21:31] like, you'll be in openoffice, and the icons have disappeared, and when you mouse over them, they appear [21:31] Hello ? [21:31] patrick_: hi [21:31] baz_: I'm not familiar with konqueror, but afaik it's a pretty decent browser these days (and yes, takes standard nsapi plugins) [21:31] oh [21:31] this is wierd [21:31] im new here [21:31] I'd probably ignore conqueror [21:31] just trying it out [21:31] if i want to have 2 different ubuntu OS's can i use the same swap and boot?? [21:31] patrick_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:31] thanks guys [21:31] toni_: If you have access to the machine you're trying to control, go to it, open System->Preferences->External Desktop. In that program, do the following: Check "Allow other users to view your desktop" and "Allow other users to control your desktop" if it's not already. Then uncheck "Confirm access to this machine" and check "Require user to type this password" and give a password. [21:31] baz_: you can just run both browsers side by side and compare what things look like in them [21:31] does anybody know how to work the remote desktop for the ubuntu linux 9.04 [21:32] so... it's not a huge issue, because 173 works fine. the problem is that it recommends 180 under administration>hardware drivers, and clearly, this is not a driver to be recommended [21:32] toni_, readd up ^^ [21:32] toni_: I believe OttifantSir does [21:32] Out_Cold: swap: yes, although you have to be a little careful if you use suspend-to-disk. boot: yes, although you'll have to be a little careful that one doesn't destroy the other's grub or kernel settup. [21:32] setup, even. [21:32] so just to know how much of a chance i should give it... KUBUNTU USERS: do you normally install and use firefox or keep konquerer? === mark__ is now known as jemark [21:32] !polls | baz_ [21:32] baz_: there might be a #kubuntu to ask that. Not sure. [21:32] baz_: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [21:33] Hiya, when i'm accessing an NFS share on my network and there's some transfer my G7 logitech mouse stutters. Anyone ever come across this? [21:33] baz_: but yeah, what ubottu said. [21:33] mrmoney: I would chec... or just leave after asking your question. That works too. [21:33] mzz, i don't use the suspend often... but the boot was my biggest concern.. will the 9.04 adjust settings correctly with the install script? [21:33] oh ok sorry [21:33] Seems to be only when caching thumbs or something. [21:33] garoto: poor NFS performance can lag a machine sometimes, [21:33] baz_: if you really want people's opinions on that I guess #ubuntu-offtopic would be an okay place to discuss it [21:33] baz_, i use both [21:34] ikonia: Seems to only lag my mouse.. amnything I can do to stop it? [21:34] ok thanks jrib [21:34] baz_, sometimes the konqueror doesn't stand up to the job [21:34] garoto: off the top of my head, no. But with thought, I'm sure it could be worked out. [21:34] I've written UNR to my thumbdrive and in live mode it works great, but I can't save any settings or data. Can I make it so that it's like a full installation but on the USB drive, so I can take 'my Linux' with me? [21:34] Out_Cold, so because its nicely integrated u use it, but when it fails you use firefox? [21:34] garoto: really unusual problem [21:35] ikonia: k cheers, I'll look into it. [21:35] baz_, correct [21:35] ikonia: installed, but it cannot find updates for installed extension... what was that trick to avoid this checking at startup? [21:35] ikonia, no CD burner -- when asking the update manager to go from 7.04 to 7.1, it stops after saying that it can't find the release notes [21:35] i dont know what i am doing [21:35] guys, good eveing, i had a trouble to surf certain web at school, then i need i software which can bypass firewall, or change ip automatically, i newbie here.. [21:35] i need help [21:35] baz_, join offtopic and i'll tell you more [21:35] sjmulder, If you have a big enough USB drive you should be able to [21:35] Andy80: pardon, I don't know what your problem is [21:35] good afternoon === garoto is now known as garoto|afk [21:35] !ask | toni_ [21:35] toni_: 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. :-) [21:35] ikonia, sources.list is probably hosed -- upgrade can't find anything [21:35] ericP: how are you updating to 7.10 ? [21:36] ericP: you don't change your sources.list [21:36] !upgrade > ericP [21:36] ericP, please see my private message [21:36] arleslie: it's 16 GB, got it especially for this purpose. is there some guide, site to get me started? [21:36] mzz, do you know if the 9.04 installer will keep my last grub safe? [21:36] ericP: be aware 7.04 and 7.10 are now on the "old-release.ubuntu.com" server [21:36] help! at the "Applications Places System" menu I have under the System only "about gnome" and "about ubuntu", how can I remove the System menu? [21:36] sjmulder, just install ubuntu like you would normally but select the USB drive [21:36] slart: you here? [21:36] Out_Cold: I haven't tried the regular installer, but using the alt installer I managed to not overwrite my existing grub. [21:36] Out_Cold: I don't really remember how much hassle doing that was [21:37] ikonia, was trying upgrade via the update manager UI. will look at urls now. thanks [21:37] arleslie: I imagine running into some problems when installing from USB to the same USB drive, like having a double installation [21:37] mzz, ok well i mean if you don't break your system, you weren't trying hard enough right? lol [21:37] I HATE ALL YOU DUME ASS PEOLE [21:37] gj jrib [21:37] arleslie: should I just install it from CD on another computer? [21:37] what's a dume ass peole? [21:37] andrew__: lets move on please. [21:38] don't ask andrew__ [21:38] toni_: From what you told me in a PM, you don't have a link between the two computers. They are both connected to a modem without a private, in-house network/being routed. Therefore, you have to go out on the Net and back to the machine you wish to control. To do this, you need to set up VPN, and that you have to ask someone else about. Or get a router. [21:39] ok.. well going to try the live 9.04 install.... bbl [21:39] thanks mzz [21:40] help! at the "Applications Places System" menu I have under the System only "about gnome" and "about ubuntu", how can I remove the System menu? [21:41] this rules! I'm running several apps on different desktops and compriz fusion with the cube and many effects enabled and I'm only using about 330MB Ram...whoohoo [21:41] I'm using Jaunty, and trying to turn off the feature where tapping in the upper (or lower) right corner does a middle (or right) click...I hate it. Everything I can find with Google and in man pages says to change options in xorg.conf...but mine doesn't even have an Input section for synaptics. Is this done in a different place in Jaunty? [21:41] jrib: I wish I could type a bit faster. Then he probably could have seen the answer before he got kicked. And too sad that it was his own inexperience that didn't even allow him to see that he was in error. [21:42] linuxguy2009: hi, looks good [21:43] someone say something cool [21:43] something cool [21:43] andrew__: check the /topic of the channel [21:44] I knew that was coming [21:44] ikonia: where do I check for the topic? [21:44] andrew__: type "/topic" without " [21:44] hi [21:45] is any of you guys using gocr? [21:45] ikonia: thanks for your help! [21:45] elp! at the "Applications Places System" menu I have under the System only "about gnome" and "about ubuntu", how can I remove the System menu? [21:46] i get an error when burning a dvd [21:46] eino1: Why would you want to remove the system menu? Why not simply limit the user privs so they just cant use those tools. [21:46] http://paste.ubuntu.com/223017/ [21:46] eino1: Don't repeat too fast. If people don't know the answer, noone will answer you. Ask again later, and have patience. In the meantime, look at what's being discussed. It can be really educational. [21:46] I think he said he only has "about" menus...no usable tools [21:46] what happened to the "preferences" "administration" lock screen, logout and shutdown commands under the the system menu? [21:47] any of you guys using gocr? I can't seem to get a single correct character recognised [21:47] linuxguy2009: I moved the Control Center to Applications menu and I want to remove the System menu to save taskbar space :) [21:47] it just outputs garbage [21:47] I do the exact same thing in my vmware virtual machine with windows XP and it works like a charm === jabagawe` is now known as jabagawee [21:47] looks like my charset and so on are correct [21:47] no idea what's going on [21:47] hilfmir: I don't know what gocr is, but I was having a similar problem with vi, so I used pico instead [21:48] eino1: I dont belive that the gnome-menu-bar applet supports hiding menus. [21:48] gocr is a program [21:48] for [21:48] hi [21:48] optical character recognition === rudy is now known as Guest94269 [21:48] then i was of no help...sorry [21:48] sounds like it's the best one by far so I can't simply switch to a different app [21:48] where can I download the animation plugin for compiz [21:49] linuxguy2009 are you sure? [21:49] WTF!? [21:49] guest94269: use synaptic package manager...that's what I did. [21:49] eino1: Pretty sure. Im sure if there was a way someone would have yelled by now. hehe [21:49] I don't know where to download animation.tar.gz [21:49] Some linux partition appeared when running TestDisk and rebuilding my partition table [21:50] hey, if I am not root, why am I allowed to rm a file with 444 permissions [21:50] eino1: Maybe try the gnome-menu-button applet instead? its only 1 icon wide. [21:50] hello [21:50] eino1:gnome-main-menu I mean [21:50] kjkjava: you used "sudo"? [21:50] linuxguy2009 how can I try it? [21:50] andrew__: nope === jon is now known as Guest81021 [21:50] andrew__: I am the owner though... [21:51] eino1: right click your panel and add to panel to add and remove applets [21:51] kjkjava: permissions on the dir [21:51] quit: [21:51] kjkjava: perhaps at the beginning of your session you chose to enable your administrative priviledges for the entire session [21:51] linuxguy2009 wow that is compact! thanks :) [21:51] i have problem with wubi. it cant dowload iso so i dowloaded it myself and put into appropriate directory [21:51] je dois t'écrire ici?

I'll research it [21:52] does anybody know what to do [21:52] what key stroke do I have when my machine freezes to end processes, like ctrl/alt/delete in Windows? [21:52] Intertricity2: Should have hybernate and suspend in shutdown menu.

Maybe an update will fix it later on or maybe on 9.10, [21:55] Guest81021, that has a built-in firewall... you'll have to open your VNC port for the 'puter with the VNC server [21:55] Guest81021: You don't have a link between the two computers. They are both connected to a modem without a private, in-house network/being routed. Therefore, you have to go out on the Net and back to the machine you wish to control. To do this, you need to set up VPN, or get a router.

[21:59] linuxguy2009: yes [21:59] f1assistance: first try if ctrl+alt+f1 gets you into terminal to end processes [21:59] Hi, I want to create a script that allows me to drag and drop a file onto a launcher, posts the file as a multipard/form-data to a remote php script, then returns the output of the php script. === Tetracomm is now known as hairybeetle [22:00] klenz: If 9.04 gives you issues then maybe try the tried and true LTS release. 8.04.3 was released last week I believe. [22:00] linuxguy2009: do i need to use the special dell install cd? [22:00] I f1 last night and got a black screen I could not get out of...ended up powering down and rebooting [22:00] where do i find docs on the "encrypt..." feature in nautilus ? [22:00] Any tips on setting up stumpwm and Ubunut? [22:00] *Ubuntu [22:00] I'm running a vanilla install of Ubuntu Server and I was wondering what is the most lightweight X package I can use? [22:01] andrew__: alt-ctrl-delete prroberly would of rebooted also [22:01] qbrix: the most light is no window manager [22:01] gogeta: that rarely works though [22:01] dr_willis: thanks...had no Idea what I had done...still don't [22:01] ya, how would I get that? [22:01] qbrix: xfce? [22:01] what do I install [22:01] qbrix: lxde [22:01] err? [22:01] lxde most definitely contains a window manager [22:01] mzz: what using xinit works on anything [22:01] I forgot which *box it was [22:01] andrew__: went to the console.. no idea whyit was messed up. ya shou.d of seen a LOGIN: prompt [22:02] mzz: yea ut its light [22:02] lighter then xfce [22:02] gogeta: not exactly convenient unless whatever you're running opens its initial window at a convenient size and hardly uses any secondary windows [22:02] dr_willis...lemme try...brb [22:02] nothing lighter? [22:02] is there a support channel for ubuntu-one [22:02] gogeta: I think you have window managers and desktop environments mixed up [22:02] I don't need taskbars or any gadget [22:02] jwm is a light window manager [22:02] mzz: blackbox [22:02] qbrix: explore the package managers search feature [22:02] where do i find docs on the "encrypt..." feature in nautilus ? i want to encrypt one dir [22:02] thers alot ouut there [22:02] qbrix: some people like jwm. I'd use one of the lightweight tiling wms myself, like ratpoison, dwm or musca [22:03] !encfs [22:03] Sorry, I don't know anything about encfs [22:03] but what is the basic X framwork? [22:03] qbrix: what about it? [22:03] qbrix: xorg [22:03] how do I install just that [22:03] aha, ya xorg [22:03] qbrix: you did a server install? [22:04] qbrix: just apt-get install xorg [22:04] Dr_willis: yes [22:04] qbrix: why.... [22:04] hi all! [22:04] Peace [22:04] testing something out.... [22:04] i have a problem with video for linux [22:04] Does anyone know the purpose of the default configuration for Apache to specify rules for ? I'm unsure as to why it specifies that.... [22:04] i'm trying install v4l2 in a kubuntu jaunty [22:04] qbrix: then to start a base only xinit [22:04] qbrix: you need at least a window manager... install fluxbox or something like that [22:05] with a 2.6.28-13 kernel [22:05] can I not run a single program without a window manager? [22:05] how can i install v4l2 kernel module? [22:05] Still no ideas regarding migrating from GNOME to StumpWM on Ubunt 9.04? [22:05] qbrix: yes you can [22:05] qbrix: yes as i said [22:05] I have to ask... is editing the fstab file still the only way to permanently mount smb shared folders to a local folder??? [22:05] qbrix: make a .xinitrc that runs the app... and just the app.. then use 'startx' from console done [22:06] Dr_willis: or xinit [22:06] oh cool, thanks [22:06] why isn't this command working sh -c "echo -n 'mypassword' > /etc/ldapscripts/ldapscripts.passwd" [22:06] qbrix: enable the alt-ctrl-backspace to kill X feature also.. or ya can get stuck [22:06] !dontzap | qbrix [22:06] qbrix: 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. [22:06] Dr_willis: not relly ctrl alt f2 [22:07] Dr_willis: ir type exit from xinit [22:07] gogeta: if that works.. or may not.. [22:07] but I have ssh running, so I could kill it remotely [22:07] notmike: you need sudo in front of it ? [22:07] running with no window manager.. is a hassle [22:07] I'm in as root [22:07] what is the shell command to clear cache [22:07] and if you are sotight on ram you cant run JWM.. go get more ram [22:08] Dr_willis: naa its easy if you dont ned a fancy broswer you can use framebuffer links2 gui [22:08] Dr_willis: as well as mplayer [22:08] Dr_willis: and mc [22:08] awsom text setup [22:08] its saying bash: my password: event not found [22:09] done it befor gogeta .. its a hassle.. jwm is trivial amount of ram.. or use fluxbox, or some other little thing [22:09] anyone has experience with TestDisk? there's something weird with the partitions found with it [22:09] lots of hassle for no real gain. :) [22:09] notmike: Are you sure you're using '' and not ``? [22:09] yes, very sure [22:09] Dr_willis: to each his own i guess [22:09] [22:09] ERC> [22:09] oops, sorry. [22:10] what is the shell command to clear cache [22:10] Dr_willis: just adding vga and your res to grub isnt hard [22:10] shorterror: sudo apt-get clean [22:10] enables the framebuffer [22:10] gogeta: now you are talking about the framebuffer... thats a whole different set of hassles ive found [22:10] Dr_willis: never had a issue [22:11] shorterror: deleting the apt-cache [22:11] Dr_willis: alot of good apps suupporting framebufer but no good broswer [22:11] iceroot, thank you [22:11] Dr_willis: i even knoe a text based pidgin [22:11] gogeta: count yoruself lucy then. someone was just in here moments ago with framebuffer issues.. [22:12] Dr_willis: heh one of my works pc they whont let me install x so i use framebuffer [22:12] hi [22:12] Dr_willis: redhat entirprise edtion [22:13] hi here [22:14] hello [22:14] Hell0 === dammnit is now known as hittt [22:15] dr_willis: tried f1...totally black screen...hd to reboot...del worked for reboot [22:15] Dr_willis: my boss abought died when she saw it playing a movie lol [22:15] i think the biggest issue with ubuntu is a lack of support for many printers. [22:15] anyone around is a bit skilled with linux i got a big problem i reformated my /boot as ext4 and now i can t boot anymore, there might also be some mojo to do as the system partition is on raid 10 , to make things more amusing , obviousely the live cd doesn t have ext4 support [22:15] ... anyone has a solution ? [22:15] andrew__: you may want to try disabling the framebuffer if you plan on using the consoles - also alt-ctrlf7 should get you back to X. [22:16] orogor: the ubuntu 9.04 live cd does haave ext4 support [22:16] dr_willis: ok...thanks [22:16] !frambuffer | andrew__ [22:16] Sorry, I don't know anything about frambuffer [22:16] gogeta: humm do you think i can go away witjhotu downloading a full cd ? [22:16] !fbdev | andrew__ [22:16] Sorry, I don't know anything about fbdev [22:16] Hmm cleaned out the factoids it seems [22:17] like modprobe ext4 upport into current live cd [22:17] i was thinking to that ,just need to find a compatible .ko [22:17] Hi I have searched around on-line for quite awhile and I cant seem to find a definite answer to the problem i seem to keep having, I have ubuntu 9.04 installed and upon boot i keep reviving the notification "ACPI: expecting a [Reference] package element, found type 0" does anyone know anything about this? [22:17] andrew__: are you using the vesa oe vga option to init the famebuffer switching them might fix the issue [22:17] anyone has experience with TestDisk? there's something weird with the partitions found with it [22:17] Anybody know whether it's possible to use StumpWM with Ubuntu? [22:17] orogor: therss some small ubuntu live cd/variants out.. [22:17] !info stumpwm [22:17] what's your internal IP address? [22:17] which VNC server did you d/l? [22:17] idk [22:17] idk [22:17] did you install a VNC server or client? [22:17] i think the sever [22:17] Adlai: proberly is possible.. [22:18] dr_willis: gogeta: no idea what you guys mean...sorry...newbie here [22:18] is there a program thats in the ubuntu repository for stripping the sound out of an .avi file? [22:18] Dr_willis: I don't think it's impossible. I'm on stumpwm right now, on Ubuntu. [22:18] stumpwm (source: stumpwm): a Common Lisp window manager. In component universe, is optional. Version 1:20080721-2 (jaunty), package size 241 kB, installed size 872 kB [22:18] It's just a pain to get in here. [22:18] andrew__: to init the frame buffer you must aadd that to grub [22:18] ubuntu does not use it by defult [22:18] Adlai: i said it was possible. [22:18] \i need to remote ass to the laptop [22:18] hm, misread. [22:18] this is what i need help [22:19] Jerusalem420_: try avidemux [22:19] does anybody know how to do this [22:19] Jerusalem420_: FFmpeg and Mencoder are both able to do it. I believe there's even some options in WinFF, GUI for FFmpeg, that can do it. [22:19] is there not a viable non-OWA exchange connection for Ubuntu? I've tried evolution-mapi but it's dying on me on 9.04 [22:19] Adlai: not in the repos it seems.. so that makes it a litte harder for the guy [22:19] thanks losher and otti [22:19] does anybody really know how to work the remote desktop [22:19] what to add to grub...where to find grub....what to use to add to grub...see what I mean about newbie sta [22:20] Does anyone have any experience using dmraid with Promise Fastrak controller? [22:20] what's your internal IP address? [22:20] which VNC server did you d/l? [22:20] idk [22:20] idk [22:20] did you install a VNC server or client? [22:20] Dr_willis: I'm used to getting stuff that's not in the repos, the problem is setting up the various init files. [22:20] i think the sever [22:20] Dr_willis: lol he doesent even have the framebuffer on LOL [22:20] did you follow instructions somewhere? [22:20] Grub is very well documented at teh grub homepage. :) it pays to learn teh basics of grub. [22:20] cause they don't "just work" out of box [22:20] people are telling me what to do and i am doing it [22:20] I'd follow a step-by-step instruction manual [22:20] are you doing everything through the gnome or terminal? [22:20] i dont care how i do it .i need to do it [22:20] are you trying to get to server command line or xserver? [22:20] !fbdev [22:20] i have also ask what is the best way to do it .and so i do it [22:20] i also dont know [22:20] Sorry, I don't know anything about fbdev [22:20] i just need the best way to do it ok [22:20] I need to know what you're trying to accomplish with it [22:20] i dont care how [22:20] Guest81021: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:20] gogeta: ive seen some X video drivers also affect the console on some cards/setups. seems to be 'ati' that causes a lot of issues. [22:20] yea [22:21] Guest81021: toni, you have to open port 5900 in the modem you've connected the computers to. Usually, 192.168.0.1 in a web-browser gets you into the config of your router/modem. [22:21] !op? [22:21] Sorry, I don't know anything about op? [22:21] Are there any alternate ways of sharing internet connection [22:21] Guest81021 - perhaps clarify the problem.. and do it on ONE LINE.. not pasteing a past conversation [22:21] ops? [22:21] how best to go about writing a database app in ubuntu? Would I need to install a complete LAMP setup or is there a simpler way? [22:21] wtf? [22:22] we were flooded... [22:22] andrew__: http://www.savvyadmin.com/console-framebuffer-in-ubuntu/ [22:22] Are there any alternate ways of sharing internet connection [22:22] !inetsharing [22:22] or could someone assist me with setting up IP tables [22:23] andrew__: but you relly whont need it unless you plain on using mplayer or links with gui [22:23] !inetsharing what is it? [22:23] Dr_willis, MaskedDriver: Guest81021 is toni_ , and he's been here for a while trying to get remote desktop to work. However, he doesn't want to try what he is told, or he simply is too stubborn to acknowledge people's help when it's given. [22:23] If you want to share the internet connection of your ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php [22:23] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [22:23] I've activated my Promise Fastrak RAID system with dmraid, but dmraid seems to be reporting two RAIDsets instead on one with two disks [22:23] !inetsharing | taylor [22:23] taylor: please see above [22:23] gogeta: will be using mplayer as soon as I can get it to actually play dvds [22:24] I have a harddrive that is only 89% in use but it says no space left on device? [22:24] andrew__: then you need to add the medibuntu repo [22:24] dug: maybe it is too fragmented ? also 5% by default is reserved for superuser === segin|kvirc is now known as segin [22:24] andrew__: to enable dvd playback [22:25] how to I unfragment the drive? [22:25] gogeta: can I add with synaptic? [22:25] dug: what filesystem is the drive? [22:25] ext4 [22:25] dug: I just had that as well - turned out to be hidden files [22:25] dug: simple answer.. you dont.. 5% is reserved for 'root' normally however... [22:25] andrew__: wait if you have a gui why do you whant the console [22:26] im trying to mount my 750gb hdd and it says "Unable to mount volume 'Media' Error [22:26] Failed to read last sector 1465143992 [22:26] how can I mount it? :O [22:26] andrew__: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu [22:26] gogeta: Just learning as much as I can [22:26] Dr_willis: but then why is 11% unavailible ? [22:26] dug: no idea. hidden porn? [22:26] HEllo? [22:27] Dr_willis: ha.... its a server [22:27] when a drive gets to be 90% full .. its time to start celaning house.. or getting a extra hd. [22:27] Anybody wanna chat with me? [22:27] new install.. [22:27] andrew__: i beleve mplayer and totem use the same plugins [22:27] dug: a new install thats 90% full? you defainatly needed a bigger hd to begin with then it seems [22:27] * jjbluesam wants to chat [22:27] andrew__: so adding the plugins should enable it on totem as well [22:27] dug: or you totally misspartioned it. [22:28] jjbluesam: wrong room. This isn't a social channel. We do computer support... [22:28] Dr_willis: desktop install with auto partitioning [22:28] jjbluesam: try #ubuntu-offtopic [22:28] gogeta: cool thanks [22:28] andrew__: the sites tells youu what to install [22:28] gogeta: excellent [22:28] Hello all, what's the command line method of selecting all available software sources minus CD-ROM? [22:29] dug: try turning on hidden files in Nautilus, then use Disk Usage Analyser to detect where the space is being used. [22:29] Jimmio: if I understand what you're asking, it's done by editing /etc/apt/sources.list [22:29] dug: i would suggest ya pastbin the outputs of 'sudo fdisk -l' ' df -h ' and proberly some other commands for the channel to take a look at... You can use the tune2fs command to get 5% back to be used by users. [22:30] dug, do a lsof|grep deleted [22:30] losher: I mean enabling the community sources and such. Is there a simple command for it? If not, it's no big deal, but it would just be nice to setup Ubuntu boxes with a simple command or two then use a mouse at all o.o [22:31] Jimmio: you could always edit/make a soruces.list that has everything enabled you want on all the box's and then just copy it over to the other box's [22:32] Dr_willis: http://pastebin.com/m2eeb4fb2 [22:32] Jimmio: Are you talking about bulk installing lots of systems with minimal manual intervention?

[22:47] ShorTie: your using dpkg to manually install a package? Need some details. [22:47] ok guys - tone it down please [22:47] Is there a way to keep that ANNOYING system beep off for good? [22:47] linuxguy2009: ShorTie is trying to compile from source a new libxine1 [22:47] andrew__: perhaps. I seem a little cranky today. But review the previous interaction before you judge... [22:47] losher: I'm a newbie and A lot of this stuff is way over my head, but I'm no slow learner, and I bet neither is shorty...otherwise he'd still be using windows...right? [22:48] ShorTie: Sorry man no build experience. [22:48] trying to replace libxine1 with a xine that has vdpau in it [22:48] losher, its time to drop it man [22:48] sephy: sudo rmmod pcspkr [22:48] http://necrofamicon.com/Tendrils/ Here's the game, if anyone can get it to work send me a message (its worth it besides) [22:48] defrysk: amen... [22:48] ReedMace: Saw your message and I dont know how to help you sorry. [22:48] etw62731: That only turned it off until restart. [22:48] i am running ubuntu on fakeraid1, now i want to install win xp on another hdd (non raid) what to do after installing windows with grub? so that grub is writing to the faikraid and detecting ubuntu and win xp? [22:49] ShorTie, why do you want a newer libxine? [22:49] sephy: then add the pcspkr module to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [22:49] linuxguy2009: thanks for the acknowledgement! [22:49] i need xine-vdpau [22:49] iceroot: grub needs to write to a disk, not fake riad [22:49] ikonia: the disk is a fakeraid array [22:49] iceroot: fakeraid won't be detected until the kernel has started to boot [22:49] sephy:System menu, preferences, Sound. Sounds tab, disable alert sound. I think thats what your trying to do. Its the system beep. [22:49] ShorTie, you use the one from younty ? [22:49] jaunty [22:49] iceroot: you need to use the individual disks, not fake raid for grub [22:49] ikonia: and on which disk grub has to write? raid1 are two disks [22:49] After installing ubuntu-desktop and attempting to uninstall it by removing every package listed in it (already realized how bad that idea was, but it was my only hope), my system feels a bit like a swiss cheese. Is there any way to easily reinstall packages that were in the default installation, that might have accidentally gotten BBQ'd by my careless deletion? [22:50] linuxguy2009: ill give it a try [22:50] iceroot: which ever one your system boots from [22:50] ikonia: i had installed jaunty with alternate [22:50] iceroot: I just installed winxp into virtualbox yesterday without re-partitioning or using other disks [22:50] yes, standard install [22:50] iceroot...works great [22:50] andrew__: dont need vbox [22:50] linuxguy2009: thanks alot ;) [22:50] ikonia: su, grub-update will not work with a live-cd? [22:50] ShorTie, maybe karmic has what you want, you can compile it with apt-get build-dep [22:50] sephy: Ah very good. Glad i could help. :) [22:51] burkmat: check the ubuntu-* metapackages. ubuntu-desktop ubuntu-minimal etc... [22:51] iceroot: it will, but you still need to install it to a disk, not the fakeraid device [22:51] How do I install the kernel sources for Ubuntu? kernel-devel or kernel-sources-devel doesn't work [22:51] ikonia: ok, thx [22:51] and stuff [22:51] how can change a line from /proc/version [22:51] i've alreadt 'apt-get build-dep' [22:51] Anyone have a guide on how to manage network connections without networkmanager [22:52] erUSUL, Alright, thanks.

In component main, is optional. Version 2.6.28.13.17 (jaunty), package size 3 kB, installed size 32 kB [22:52] ShorTie, also if you want to install the one you made yourself you first have to uninstall the previous libxine [22:52] burkmat: After a frsh install you can use Part Image to make a fresh system backup. If you mess stuff up you can restore the system to fresh state in like 3min. Very good practice to make backups. [22:52] ShorTie, preferabily purge it [22:52] christiann: that /proc file cannot be written. however you could bind mount a normal (writable) file over it. [22:52] someone knows if avail avidemux 2.5 for 9.04 ? [22:53] christiann: but why do want to write /proc/version? [22:53] i want change [22:53] you uninstall the other, it breaks everything [22:53] "Ubuntu" for another wor [22:53] word* [22:53] just that [22:53] gotta install over to [22:53] top [22:53] christiann: but that doesn't change the kernel version [22:53] Anyone know of a user-friendly how-to on managing connections without network manager? [22:53] synfin: I think it's headers, not sources [22:53] linuxguy2009, Alright, will take a look at that. Sounds like it could really come in handy. :P [22:53] i can read it but when i try to save i can't [22:53] no problem [22:53] just info:) [22:54] synfin: Disregard my last. [22:54] CrocoJet: Check add/remove or Synaptic, otherwise youll need to look for packages to manually download and install, or find a backport of the version you need. [22:54] ShorTie, Type dpkg --force-help for a list of forcing options [22:54] can anyone help me with virtualbox or point me in the direction of where i can get help via IRC? im having trouble getting sound working in my virtual machine (virtualbox). i installed guest additions and my network/internet is working fine but the sound isnt. i went into the machine's settings and selected every different sound driver combination (also/soundblaster, pulseaudio/soundblaster etc.) and the sound still isnt working in win [22:54] dows [22:54] christiann: like i said, you bind bind mount a regular file over /proc/version [22:54] !info linux-source [22:54] linux-source (source: linux-meta): Linux kernel source with Ubuntu patches.

[22:55] christiann: i didn't say umount [22:55] ShorTie, it still might break your libxine tho , so be aware of that [22:56] lancerocke: Are you using the open source Vbox or the one from the website? [22:56] hey any one need help i will do my best [22:56] Anyone know of a user-friendly how-to on managing connections without network manager? [22:56] i dont understand much english, check when i edit the "version" file, i can readit and change but when i try to save says error input or output, so, iam think cuz is in usebut i try to umount, and says its busy so ? can help me? [22:56] linuxguy2009, the one from the website not opensource [22:56] taylor: use another connection manager like wicd or conman ? [22:56] lancerocke: Ok did you recheck ubuntu sound that it is currently functioning? [22:56] taylor, i sugesst wcid [22:56] taylor, I like wicd [22:56] erUSUL: do they allow multiple connections at the same time? [22:57] linuxguy2009, yes i played a movie [22:57] i dont understand much english, check when i edit the "version" file, i can readit and change but when i try to save says error input or output, so, iam think cuz is in usebut i try to umount, and says its busy so ? can help me? etw62731 [22:57] lancerocke: What does vbox list as audio controllers? And list your settings from the vbos sound tab for me. [22:57] christiann: cp /proc/version /tmp ; gedit /tmp/version ; sudo mount --bind /tmp/version /proc/version [22:58] linuxguy2009, wow i just rechecked by playing a movie and my sound isnt working on ubuntu [22:58] Kubuntu FTW! [22:58] lancerocke: Yeah I figured that was prob it. [22:58] linuxguy2009, what can i do? [22:58] christiann: /proc/version is read-only. I don't think you can change it by writing to it... [22:59] lancerocke: Check your speakers are turned on, sound control is not muted and volume is up. [22:59] losher: look at what i wrote [22:59] taylor: i dunno never used them [22:59] losher: you can't change the /proc file, but can bind-mount it over [22:59] linuxguy2009, actually i just used another app to open the movie and the sound is working [22:59] lancerocke: ok [22:59] defrysk: does wicd support multiple connections? [23:00] lancerocke: What operating system did you install that sound does not work with? Windows? [23:00] i wwill check it [23:00] CrocoJet: This is absolutely unsupported, and it's a true Personal Packaging Archive, but it's from one of the GetDeb uploaders, so I believe it to be reputable: https://launchpad.net/~c-korn/+archive/ppa [23:00] linuxguy2009, windows 7 [23:00] anyone need help? [23:01] etw62731 [23:01] Can someone here please tell me why switching workspaces with the scrollwheel seems to have stopped working?? I have to click on them now to change them. [23:01] etw62731: I see, though I don't see the point of it. The point of /proc/version is to report the kernel version.... [23:01] where are iptables rules stored? [23:01] lancerocke: Could possibly be that Windows 7 is not completed yet, and also may not be compatible with Vbox as of yet. Try installing Ubuntu in it and see if that works then you can verify if Vbox sound is working as it should be. My guess is that its not fully Windows 7 ready yet. [23:01] Hilikus: in memory [23:02] Dekko: is nautilus still drawing the desktop? do you have conky covering the desktop? do you have visual effects enabled? [23:02] losher: i also don't get what changing that file should be good for [23:02] lstarnes mmm i see. i created a LIMIT rule using ufw but i need to change the triggers. any idea how to do that [23:02] taylor, read all about wicd here: http://wicd.net/ [23:02] etw62731 its changed bro but when i tape uname -a its the same xD ! [23:02] Hilikus: I'm not sure, but I do think that ufw stores its rules somewhere [23:02] linuxguy2009, i will try but my friend who has the same motherboard did it and has the sound working. i would not have tried windows 7 on vbox if he didnt [23:03] christiann: that's because uname does not read /proc/version [23:03] OttifantSir, thanks information [23:03] etw62731 i want change when type uname -a dont appear #Ubuntu, appear my line [23:03] :O [23:03] Dekko: On a default install scrolling on the panel desktop workspace applet does not change workspaces. If you had compiz going and the cube, sphere, cylinder(sp?), then compiz settings may be changed or not loaded/working. [23:03] where ready etw62731 [23:03] Hilikus: in ram. they are not writte to disk [23:03] christiann: I think you need to change the kernel code for that to happen... [23:03] anyone knows where ufw stores its rules? [23:03] christiann: uname uses the uname() system call, you cannot change that [23:03] Dekko: With compiz you can scroll on the wallpaper to change em si that what you mean? [23:03] www.mysoft.isgreat.org for silkroad players [23:04] How do I get the old functionality of update-manager back? [23:04] Hilikus: look in /etc/ufw [23:04] lancerocke: Your friend may have a different W7 build than you. [23:04] linuxguy2009, http://www.imagebam.com/gallery/3103b84b4fb85b7ea8e8b1435d2ea780/ [23:04] linuxguy2009: yes but now that doesn't seem to work.... [23:04] anymore. [23:04] Hilikus: /etc/ufw/ ? [23:04] Open source linux design program (furniture schema), any ideas? [23:05] Dekko: Verify that desktop effects are enabled and then turn the cube back on along with rotate. [23:05] linuxguy looking [23:05] lstarnes erUSUL no [23:05] Dekko: Compiz is either not enabled or the plugins are off. [23:05] Dekko: I have also some instabilities with Compiz. It's usually okay again after a logout. Never had the scrollwheel disappear on me though. [23:05] sharperguy, i am not aware of any whays to do that [23:05] d [23:06] liam_, It's annoying [23:06] sharperguy: Be specific? [23:06] OttifantSir: Okay :) Hmmm [23:06] linuxguy2009, It comes up by itself instead of just telling you there's updates [23:06] Do you know what the compiz setting manager is called, I only have the simple one installed. [23:07] i have a 7GB partition that I would like to merge with /HOME partition. Is there an application that will allow me to do this? [23:07] dekko: compizconfig settings manager [23:07] Dekko: You want to know what the package is called in Synaptic? [23:07] chiques: if the disk layout is ok gparted can do that [23:07] sharperguy, what are you trying to get back? [23:07] sharperguy: You can turn off the update notifier in startup apps if thats what you choose to do, [23:07] I use 'apt-get install' [23:07] jest tu ktos? [23:07] Dekko: Thats some KDE-garbage from what ive seen, right ? [23:08] sharperguy: You can still check for updates manually it will simply stop bothering you. I do the same on mine. [23:08] chiques: both partitions have to be one ofter the other [23:08] Dekko: It's "compizconfig-settings-manager" then [23:08] erUSUL, I tried using gparted via a boot from a live cd but gparted still did not have any options [23:08] fjordlord: Change yer nick, im the ultimate fjordlord :P [23:08] found them. /usr/lib/ufw/user.rules [23:08] erUSUL, So I have to "move" it next to my /HOME partition? === |Zippo|_ is now known as |Zippo| [23:09] chiques: Simply cut and paste files to the home partition. Then resize the home partition. [23:09] chiques: Just a few extra steps are involved. [23:10] fjordlord: Affluvial dampers, check (y/n) ? :) [23:10] chiques: Will also need to edit the UUID of the home probably too, [23:10] linuxguy2009, hey [23:10] chiques: yep; [23:10] Yes liam? [23:10] chiques, if u have live cd load it live and open gparted and resize and copy. (just another option.) [23:11] Kangarooo, I tried the live cd. I didn't see options to merge it using the gparted GUI [23:11] I downloaded googleearth from the site and got the bin file but how do i open google earth [23:11] linuxguy2009, no help needed just saying hi [23:12] ... [23:12] liam: hehe my bad. Good to see you here. [23:12] !medibuntu | Shortguy109 this repositorie has GE packaged [23:12] Shortguy109 this repositorie has GE packaged: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [23:12] * Dekko thanks everyone that helped with Compiz. Logging out and in again worked. [23:12] linuxguy2009, anything i can do to help [23:12] Seems like its a bug.... [23:12] Raffi_: May i priv ? [23:13] so i was trying to install from 9.04 alt disk... when installing the base system i get an error in regards to "linux-generic" any ideas or help? [23:13] anybody have any experence getting ebox installed on intrepid? [23:13] erUSUL, okay thanks [23:13] liam_: Are you here to help folks too? [23:13] !ebox | eggenz7 [23:13] eggenz7: ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox [23:13] chiques, there is no option to merge :D no but if you want all files in 7gb to be in home then assuming theres not much place left in 7gb then also you can do this so solve. also gprated resize 7gb to smaller resize home to bigger then copy as much possible. when all 7gb are secured moved to home then delete 7gb and resize home to maximum possible ;) [23:13] BTW people .... do you know if there's a way to have Gnome pop up windows mainly in the middle of the screen. I think some windows gets put top left etc too much. or is there a "system" to how it arranges newly opened windows? [23:13] linuxguy2009, i will do my best [23:13] liam_: Cool thats what im here for too. Try to help as much as i can. [23:14] Dekko: gtk_win_pos("Center"); [23:14] #ubuntu-pt [23:14] <_alex__> Guys, I just tried to set up dual monitors in linux in ati's CCC... When I rebooted everything was black and nothing I tried would get me a screen back. So I booted into recovery mode... went into root and tried to run amdcccle... it said could not find x server, so as a final effort I clicked on the attempt to auto fix graphical problems thing it has... Now when I boot up it comes to just a screen of fuzz (Like on a tv channel that [23:14] <_alex__> isn't there)... any ideas? [23:14] Kangarooo, The 7GB is a partition that accidentally created during my Jaunty upgrade. There isn't any data on it, I simply want to add it to my available space in my /HOME partition. [23:14] is now update of mirrors happening? [23:14] could anyone tell me where to look to learn how to CLI install from anothre OS?? [23:15] linuxguy2009, been on and off linux for 2 years now i have [23:15] hi dear All. have a problem with vnc server. server is up. port is opened. I keep getting "vncviewer: ConnectToTcpAddr: connect: No route to host" message from vnc viewer. Any help? [23:15] erUSUL, ive read that already..and at the very top is says that ebox is broken on intrepid but i have red forum posts of folx getting it installed..just wondering if there is anybody on here that has been able to do it [23:15] Dekko: gtk_window_set_position (GTK_WINDOW (some_window), GTK_WIN_POS_CENTER); [23:15] erUSUL, is this what i download? http://packages.medibuntu.org/hardy/googleearth.html [23:15] chiques: post the output of « sudo fdisk -l » in pastebin [23:15] Dekko: If you have compiz going you can try the "grid" plugin. It lets you use ctrl+alt and the numpad to arrange windows very fast. I love it on my system. [23:15] anyone know what version of xorg I can use with mesa 7.3 [23:15] chiques: then delete it with gparted and resize the other [23:15] Shortguy109: it is better to just add the repo to your sources.list and then just use synaptic or something like that [23:15] chiques: use the live cd the knothing is in use [23:16] chiques, then just live cd (for security resons, if you gparted the same HDD witch is now operating system then something can theoretically happen bad) so live cd then gparted delete 7gb and resize all as much as you want ;) [23:16] Dekko, google " simple conpiz config [23:16] eggenz7: ahh ok; then i dunno. if you repeat the question later include that info (that you already read the page etc) [23:17] liam: thank you so much. [23:17] any1? [23:17] Kangarooo: Its operating as suid root. Theres no issues as long as the uer auth's as root [23:17] erUSUL, http://paste.ubuntu.com/223072/ [23:17] ntiy: How can i help you today? [23:17] * Dekko also wonders if there is a way to turn off spell checking? [23:17] power button will work [23:17] gogeta, Kangarooo http://paste.ubuntu.com/223072/ [23:17] ntiy: Ah vnc, im not much help to ya sorry. [23:17] dekko in what? app [23:18] SnakePlisken, so i can also create partitions on running system? [23:18] chiques: we told you what to do [23:18] SnakePlisken, in the same hdd the ubuntu is installed? [23:18] ntiy: Open up your firewall [23:18] OK [23:18] <_alex__> Also, does anyone know where Firefox stores the bookmarks.html file in linux? [23:18] Dekko: In openoffice? firefox? [23:18] ok...here's one...why is free bsd unix-like, but linux is linux? [23:18] chiques: so you want to add the space of /dev/sda8 to /dev/sda6 ? [23:19] _alex__, it's in /home/user/.firefox or something [23:19] _alex__, .firefox smth [23:19] _alex__: ~/.mozilla/firefox/blah.default/somewhere [23:19] Kangarooo, Once I delete the 7GB, how do I "reassign" it to a partition of my choice. [23:19] chiques: you can eyther lvm it or delete and resize [23:19] _alex__: If you go to the bookmarks menu and organize bookmarks you can export them as a file if thats what you need. [23:19] chiques: it will list them [23:19] Kangarooo: If root is required by any program its because it does many operations, and you wouldnt want to write the root password more then once (atleast not a few hundred times) [23:19] <_alex__> linuxguy2009_: I can't get onto my OS lol... trying to get my bookmarks off =P [23:19] dekko what app are you tryingv to turn spell checking off in [23:19] chiques: i will remove sda7 (is swap so it does not matter) and sda8 then resiza sda6 to the desired size then create sda7 swap again at the end of the disk [23:20] _alex__: Think its a .jos xml file I think. [23:20] chiques: you well see all /dev/sda partations [23:20] _alex__: oh [23:20] erUSUL, Yes, sda8 to sda6 [23:20] so does someone know how to install an OS from another system?? via CLI? [23:20] chiques: slect sda6 and resize [23:20] chiques: you will have to edit your /etc/fstab from the live to reflect the changes there becouse of course the uuid's will change [23:21] gogeta, I guess I have to reboot into a live cd to have the "resize" option. [23:21] chiques, you can move partitions to the left to the left and to the right also :) [23:21] Kangarooo: generally admin programs will need root to make stuff happen for you. [23:21] Dekko, what app are you tryingv to turn spell checking off in [23:21] OK, I'll try that. Thanks!! [23:21] chiques: its visable after you delete sda8 and yes reboot to live cd [23:21] chiques: are you familiar with editting the fstab and such thnigs ? [23:22] hello [23:22] anyone can help me?

[23:25] trakcyia, which version of ubuntu [23:25] but not show.. [23:26] owner, what language do you speak?? [23:26] <_alex__> Guys, I just tried to set up dual monitors in linux in ati's CCC... When I rebooted everything was black and nothing I tried would get me a screen back. So I booted into recovery mode... went into root and tried to run amdcccle... it said could not find x server, so as a final effort I clicked on the attempt to auto fix graphical problems thing it has... Now when I boot up it comes to just a screen of fuzz (Like on a tv channel that [23:26] 9.04 [23:26] <_alex__> isn't there)... any ideas? [23:26] 32 bit [23:26] even with a masqueraded mac, couldn't the IP still be traced? [23:26] aircrack [23:26] trakcyia, do you know what kernel you have? [23:26] andrew__ changing your mac won't make you completely anonymous [23:26] linuxguy2009: NoManIsAnIsland [23:26] andrew__, yes.. but say i have a usb wifi card... could be easily removed and hidden [23:27] ok my first question [23:27] how to use macchanger? [23:27] liam, I'll check [23:27] owner, if you are committing illegal acts this is the wrong spot to ask for help [23:27] macchanger not show ascii charactter [23:27] _alex__: You have google access? Im sure its on there somewhere. [23:27] Out_Cold: proxys my frends proxys [23:27] lol [23:27] how do i find which distro would work best on my desktop, i use ubuntu on my laptop cuz i found a site with laptops and distros to use on the specific model [23:27] gogeta, that too... but then the proxies should not be your own lol [23:28] proxys=spoofing? [23:28] <_alex__> linuxguy2009_: google access? [23:28] liam 2.6.28.11.15 [23:28] <_alex__> linuxguy2009_: Like internet access? [23:28] Out_Cold: that would be -10 in stupid to use your own [23:28] hmm.. [23:28] +10 [23:28] CopyWriter: There is no best distro. Its personal preference. Download live CDs and try em all. [23:28] CopyWriter, ubuntu is a user friendly distro that has lots of compatibility [23:28] Out_Cold: Its not illegal to change macs. If you buy a car/network-card you may put new wheels on it right ? [23:28] trakcyia, is it usb [23:29] liam_ it is internet PCIe half-mini [23:29] so i can tweak it by installing drivers and such? [23:29] internal^ [23:29] CopyWriter, http://www.linux.org/dist/ [23:29] SnakePlisken: thats not but why wwould you unless your trying to hide [23:29] Out_Cold: Even suggesting (or assuming) that he is enquiring about illegal acts is putting YOURSELF into a stupid position. Rather, just answer the question, tbh. [23:29] SnakePlisken, agreed... but the intentions of owner seem to be obscure [23:29] gogeta: It is not relevant. [23:29] CopyWriter: We are not allowed to discuss other distros here. Use #ubuntu-offtopic for that. hehe [23:29] His intentions are largely irrelevant. [23:29] gogeta: From a ddos ? [23:29] liam_ I'm not sure if the pcie slot uses a USB bus, it might? [23:29] thanks arleslie, linuxguy2009 and out_cold, i'll check it out [23:29] fiendishfish, i'm not going to assist in illegal activities [23:29] SnakePlisken: none is going to ddos a user [23:29] hey, can yall see this text, dont know if i am still connected or not [23:30] Out_Cold: that's your choice, don't complain; Simply assert. [23:30] Jason_WT, Yes, you are connected [23:30] CopyWriter: http://www.distrowatch.com [23:30] Besides, you have no evidence to suggest there is ANY illegal activities. [23:30] to my knowledge, pcie and usb are different buses [23:30] gogeta: Perhaps, rapid mac address changing could thwart some WPA attacks (my silly theory) [23:30] arleslie: thanks [23:30] lol [23:30] gogeta: Aha, thats also wrong. But then, as a distributor of OSS-software may i protect myself you think ? [23:30] hello all [23:30] !ot [23:30] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait.

[23:36] andrew__, No microsoft has not released a linux distro and never will, and this is ubuntu support [23:37] linuxguy2009: Indeed. [23:37] !ubuntustudio [23:37] UbuntuStudio is a collection of packages for the artist who wishes to use Ubuntu as their Digital Audio Workstation. It contains all the best Audio/Visual components from the Ubuntu repositories. For more info and install instructions, join #ubuntustudio or see http://ubuntustudio.org [23:37] trakcyia, i'm not sure how ot help with the issue you are having [23:37] fiendishfish: apt-get --help if there is a way to supress that function it should be listed. [23:37] ubottu: was just asking regarding someone elses previous post...sorry [23:37] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [23:37] liam_ someone on a forum suggested using proprietary drivers, do you know how I could go about doing this? [23:37] trakcyia, ah yes [23:37] trakcyia: Video drivers? [23:38] fiendishfish: you cn edit the menus and remove items you dont want. (but ive never bothered) [23:38] ∕erUSUL thanks [23:38] linuxguy2009, wireless [23:38] ah [23:38] yoritomo: no problem; good luck [23:38] linuxguy2009 no, drivers for AR928X Wireless Network Adapter [23:38] I see [23:39] Dr_willis: That's a bit of a crumby plan if you regularly install LOTS of programs, tbh. [23:39] linuxguy2009, hardware drivers under system? [23:39] Thanks for the suggestion though. [23:39] liam_: Pardon? [23:39] fiendishfish: ive never really noticed it being much of a problem under linux/gnome.. compared to windows.. the menus are a lot less clutered. [23:39] what sound system should i use for soundblaster x-fi alsa or oss [23:40] Dr_willis: When you are a minimalist (even attempting to use Gnome), it is a problem =] [23:40] fiendishfish: most apps have a '.desktop' file that defines their menu entry. if you want to alter them you can alter the .desktop file I guess. [23:40] murcherson: Your having issues with you X-Fi not working? [23:40] trakcyia, try in your menu system>administration hardware drivers? [23:40] fiendishfish: whats good for a 'single' user may not be good for a 'system with 1000+ users' [23:40] Dr_willis: Thus, there should be an OPTION. [23:40] liam_ only nvidia comes up as a potential proprietary driver [23:40] fiendishfish: so it all depends on your exact needs. [23:41] Greetings. Can someone tell me if "preload" is good for Ubuntu? [23:41] partly linuxguy2009 some stuff works others dont [23:41] liam_ what I am really trying to do is verify that I am not already using the proprietary drivers, before I go compiling and installing [23:41] Dr_willis: I am sure lots of people would prefer not to have their menus cluttered with silly programs which are rarely used. [23:41] trakcyia, is it a fresh install [23:41] murcherson: Im not sure how good it works but I know there are outstanding issues with those cards your not the only one. [23:41] liam_ yes [23:41] linuxguy2009: i wanted to start with a clean slate so i can narrow down my issues [23:42] fiendishfish: thers no option. the package manager includes a .desktop files.. those get scanned when gnome starts up.. and added to the proper menus. thats how the menu system works. I think there MAY be some options in those files for some things.. but ive not messed with them much [23:42] murcherson: Creative has beta linux drivers and thats about it. [23:43] trakcyia, then you wont be because ubuntu will not use propitery drivers unless you tell it to [23:43] murcherson: What are you wanting to clean exactly? The drivers are in the kernel mostly. [23:43] is there a way I can install the xorg package without it updating libgl1-mesa-dri and libgl1-mesa-glx? [23:43] linuxguy2009: i want to get rid of any sound related config etc files so i can start afresh [23:44] geezer, Do you mean that it was pre-installed before you received the computer? [23:44] frak_: If installing one package causes others to be installed allong side it, its because there required dependenciues and I dont think there is a choice. [23:44] liam_ Then, if the proprietary driver is not available in apt cache (after enabling all repo's) I must either install the proprietary by other means, or use a windows driver + ndiswrapper? if so, which would you suggest? [23:44] murcherson: Well theres not much to clean there just user settings in the sound mixer control etc. [23:45] murcherson: If you have an integrated audio device you may have better luck with compatibility. [23:46] linuxguy2009: yeh, been trying to avoid doing that but maybe i should rethink [23:46] trakcyia, use a windows driver + ndiswrapper not sure how well tht will work [23:46] hello all :) [23:47] x-fi cards are a pain in the ass [23:47] <|31770|> ok think of re-installed everything - wish me luck I'm going to reboot and hope it comes back up... [23:47] murcherson:only other option with the X-Fi is to try the Creative beta drivers. [23:47] !language | murcherson [23:47] murcherson: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [23:47] liam_ how do I uninstall (or blacklist?) the bad driver before attempting a replacement? [23:48] should i just put my question here and hope someone can anser it ? [23:48] murcherson: Im sure there great cards its just that some manufacturers dont support linux much if at all.

[23:51] Xtremegamer: Oh there is no .run or deb available instead?

XP is installed on it's 60GB partition, and unbuntu is on it's own 25GB partition, then I have 65GB of unpartitioned space that i need to make use of [23:59] Xtremegamer, you're probably running more than one application that is using the deb package folder, or not using it as root [23:59] I'm trying to remove empty folders and folders with less than 1mb in them via command line, how do I do this? [23:59] swoody: If you prefer you can add a standalone shutdown applet to the panel. [23:59] nexsja: notepad++ is rather pathic compared to many editors that exist
