kubuntu2yes it's listed in my disks & filesystem00:00
LuisJahello, i could emulate windows xp using virtual box, and now i am running command and conquer red alert 2, the problem comes when i start playing, i am not able to use the mouse to move INSIDE the game, because outside the Vbox windows appears the linux mouse moving, is there a way to fix this? (guest additions installed already, no mouse capture problem)00:01
kaddikubuntu2: can you just check how the C:\boot.ini looks on your windows partition?00:01
b14ckwhat's a good limewire-like program for kubuntu?00:01
kubuntu2kaddi: don't I have to go into a live cd for that?00:02
kaddikubuntu2: if your kubuntu is working not. You can just access the disk with windows installed on it and open it with an editor.00:03
kubuntu2kaddi: how do I do that, click on it in storage media?00:04
kaddikubuntu2: yes, that should do it00:05
kubuntu2kaddi: ok what am I looking for?00:07
kaddia file called boot.ini at the root of the partition00:07
kaddiyou can simply open it in a editor like kate00:08
kubuntu2yes it's there, I opened it00:08
kaddiok, can you paste me the content?00:08
kubuntu2http://paste.ubuntu.com/258314/00:09
kaddikubuntu2: can you please check how the partition is called. type "mount" into konsole and look which partition (it should be /dev/sda2) is mounted as the partition you just accessed00:11
kaddithe boot.ini looks fine :)00:12
kubuntu2yes it's dev/sda200:14
kaddiand you only have one harddisk00:15
kubuntu2yes00:15
kaddikubuntu2: that's really odd.. if you select "Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition" you get into the recovery mode?00:16
melomanehi, is "cups" related to printers? i have no printer on my system , can i remove cups packages? everytime i update ubuntu, i have to wait a lot for updateing cups00:17
kubuntu2yep00:17
melomanekubuntu2: is it my answer?00:17
kubuntu2melomane: sorry no that answer was for kaddi00:18
kaddikubuntu2: is the message identical to the one you get when you boot into the other windows-option?00:18
melomanekubuntu2: nevermind ;)00:18
carpii_you can remove cups if you dont have a printer00:18
carpii_and dont have any special pdf printer etc00:18
geniisda2 != multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)         since numbering starts at zero. It would equal partition(1)00:18
melomanecarpii_ really good, no nothing especial00:18
carpii_but if you remove cups, you might remove some apps which depend on it00:19
carpii_so really id just disable it, and leave it to update00:19
kubuntu2kaddi: never tried the other windows option, but I'm sure it will throw me into recovery as well since that's what it's for00:19
melomanecarpii_ ok,i must do that00:19
kaddigenii: you're sure? I thought MS started at one not zero...00:20
geniikaddi: Itś like the grub hd(0,0) is sda1 , etc etc00:21
kaddigenii so if sda2 is the windows partition, we need to edit boot.ini?00:21
geniikaddi: I would suggest to add a second entry there with multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)         and then select that and see if it can load00:22
geniieg: copy line 4 of the paste and change the 2 to 100:23
kaddigenii hehehe... as if I would recall how do to that.. :p00:23
kaddigenii: yes but if you add another line you need to design a default and possibly a timeout to be able to choose00:23
kaddiok kubuntu2 lets try the following, you still have the boot.ini file open?00:24
kubuntu2this is all sounding very technical lol, tho a simple 2 to 1 change I can do, I think00:24
geniikaddi: I can't recall offhand the layout of the boot.ini file. But the info should be readily available someplace google-able00:25
kubuntu2yes, but not as sudo00:25
geniikubuntu2: You can always change it back if it fails miserably00:25
kubuntu2genii: oh yay :P00:25
kaddikubuntu2: you should not need to be sudo, to edit it. You can just test by saving the file, if it saves without problem we're good :)00:26
kubuntu2kaddi: okies00:26
kubuntu2done00:27
kaddias genii said copy the line "multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition trial" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn" into the file underneath [operating systems]00:27
kaddiwithout the quotation marks00:27
kaddiand add "timeout=10" without the quotation marks underneath  [boot loader]00:28
kaddisave the file and reboot. Select the Windows XP Home Edition option from grub, you should then see a second menu, from that menu choose "Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition trial" and see if it can boot00:29
kubuntu2kaddi: and if it does, that's the solution? :)00:30
kaddikubuntu2: yes :) I would give you instructions on how to remove the second menu and boot directly into windows, but basically if it works it should be fixed :)00:32
kubuntu2kaddi: alright I will try it00:32

J2daoshi need my wired internet working00:47
J2daoshor wireless00:47
kaddithe first line should start with: # deb cdrom:00:48
J2daoshi dont care which but i need that crap to start working00:48
J2daoshhow do i make it freakin work00:48
geniiJ2daosh: from command: lspci                what does the line about your wired ethernet adapter read?00:49
J2daoshrealtek semiconductor RTL8101E00:50
kubuntu2well that didn't work :-/ "root>\system32\hal.dll file is missing/corrupt and has to be reinstalled00:52
geniikubuntu2: OK, change it back then. If possible restate original issue00:53
geniiJ2daosh: What does command: lsmod | grep r816                  show?00:54
J2daoshit shows r8169 35972 000:56
kubuntu2ok, I removed hd from pc and when I reconnected it xp went into recovery mode, kaddi and others were tryin to correct it w/o having to reinstall00:56
kubuntu2and b4 that I was wondering if once xp is installed does repartition its space cause any probs such as partition name changes00:57
geniiJ2daosh: does: modprobe -l | grep r8168       show that driver available ?00:57
kubuntu2james147 stated other than fixing grub, everything else should be alright :)  and that's my story lol00:58
geniiJ2daosh: I am reading a post right now that your particular adapter loads the 8169 which fails and not the correct 816800:58
J2daoshno00:58
James147kubuntu2: if your going to reinstall xp, partition it before hand but the only issue might be /etc/fstab if the xp partion was listed in there (easy to fix)00:58
J2daoshok, how do i change that adapter? cuz this is really annoying lol00:58
kubuntu2ah, not another fixer :-/00:59
kubuntu2james147: wouldn't it be easier to partition after?01:00
James147kubuntu2: not really, its the same process before or after only before it has less chance of screwing your newly installed xp01:00
James147unless you really want to do it form windows01:00
James147kubuntu2: and the fstab isent hard to fix :)01:01
kubuntu2james147: ok but it won't change my kubuntu dev names right? (like sda5 to sda7 or so)01:02
J2daoshgenii: how do i blacklist that wrong driver?01:03
James147kubuntu2: dont think so. but if it does that can be fixed01:04
kubuntu2hmm alright, well I shall be back! lol  hope you guys are here when I do this01:07
neoandersenhello01:07
geniiJ2daosh: The prob would be then since the 8168 driver seems not available, what would it try to load?01:07
neoandersenanyone here record video from the webcam?01:07
J2daoshdont know, hopefully a driver that works01:07
neoandersenmine is not working...01:07
neoandersenits a slim genius webcam...01:08
J2daoshneoandersen: try getting cheese webcam booth01:09
neoandersenok01:09
neoandersenthanks01:09
geniiJ2daosh: There is quite a lot on this adapter and ubuntu at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=843398   posting #10 seems possibly useful for you01:10
joshua__anybody ever try the nuke command01:15
James147joshua__: sudo rm -rf ?01:16
joshua__just rm -rf01:16
joshua__it's a really good way of getting rid of a file starting with -01:17
James147joshua__: but sudos more fun :)01:17
joshua__as it doesn't do option parsing01:17
James147joshua__: if your triyng to get rid of files starting with - carnt you rm -r "-*" ?01:19
joshua__try it01:19
joshua__doesn't work01:19
James147*-*01:20
James147seems to01:20
joshua__invalid option -- *01:20
DragnslcrYou probably need to use \-01:21
James147./-*01:21
joshua__now you see why I prefer to keep nuke around01:21
joshua__nuke -f removes a file called -f01:21
James147rm -r ./-*  works and is safer then rm -rf01:22
geniiPlease don't use the rm command in open channel people.01:22
geniiThere are new users who are monkey-see monkey-do and will type things in they see here just from being curious what they do01:23
joshua__yeah that *-* one could do some real damage01:23
joshua__the others generate error messages01:23
trampelso if i just copy and paste that and hit return....01:23
James147trampel: it would remove files matching the patern spicifed01:24
joshua__no point talking to trampel -- he quit01:25
joshua__I'm glad they put that safeguard about / into the rm command. It proved too easy to generate recurive remove from / by accident.01:26
joshua__and if you really need it you can get it by --no-preserve-root01:26
joshua__if you really want to make a mess of things, see the dd command01:28
J2daoshshould i apply the hardy patch if im not using hardy?01:29
joshua__sounds like a bad idea01:30

J2daoshwtf, i cant install the module01:38
J2daoshits saysing that there is no /build directory in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/01:39

kidblooperok so you have 2 128 meg chips. and its reading 256. where is the problem ?05:23
kidblooperi am a little tired and if i'm sounding retarded. i do apologize , its not intended. or did i just read this wrong ?05:24

kidblooperhardware problem somewhere.. if you have 2 x 256 and it reads 128 , just doesn't make sense05:29
kidbloopertry switching the ram around.. then reset the bios defaults05:29
danehow do i reset the bios defaults05:48
kidblooperwhen the computer is booting and you see the memory reading. you should have to hit a key such as delete or f2, then it should tell you05:50
kidbloopersomething like f9 for defaults etc05:50
kidblooperthen save and exit05:50

Pavel__having some printer problems... Kubuntu has identified the printer, but when i try to print it tells me the printer 'may not be connected'17:19
Pavel__(it is plugged in via USB)17:19

apparleAbhi_: I am unable to make arora with proxy in jaunty17:20

Pavel__yes.17:21
apparlePavel__: then I can't help........never had my own printer.......but many people forget to do that........so I thought I would suggest17:21
crungeI have a 64 but kubuntu jaunty system that authenticates via LDAP. The users on the system don't have local accounts. The software update tool in the system tray doesn't allow users to run updates. Is there a specific group these users need to be in?17:22
Pavel__i figure it might be because it's a shared computer (at work)17:23
Pavel__apparle do you think there might be some package I should sudo apt-get?17:24
apparlePavel__: no I don't know anything about printers17:24
Dragnslcrcrunge- pretty sure you need root privileges to install or update packages17:24
Pavel__apparle right I'm just thinking its probably my system since the printer works for others17:25
crungeDragnslcr: well the users are in the sudoers file with ALL=(ALL) ALL so doing it with sudo works fine17:25
Dragnslcrcrunge- then what exactly is the problem?17:26
crungeDragnslcr: the system tray functionality doesn't work17:26
apparlePavel__: you mean others with kubuntu can get the same printer working but you can't ??17:27
Pavel__no, others with xp/osx can and I cannot17:27
Dragnslcrcrunge- KPackageKit actually uses PolicyKit, so maybe some setting there got changed17:28
crungeDragnslcr: Okay, now I have some specific things to google. Thanks!17:28
Dragnslcrcrunge- go to System Settings -> Advanced -> PolicyKit, then look under org.freedesktop -> PackageKit17:29
DragnslcrMake sure each item has something like Admin Authentication for Active Console17:29
apparlePavel__: then you can't say that its problem with your system.........its some software related issue...........put it on forums or  ask in #ubuntu or wait here maybe someone will help17:29
Pavel__apparle right.  I did find this though : http://www.kubuntuway.net/forum/showthread.php?t=34217:30

Pavel__I keep forgetting that toggling classic and 9.04 launchers gives one more options17:31
treble54I'm currently using Ubuntu 8.10 (I would use 9.04 but 9.04 has my video card/driver blacklisted, and I prefer having the visual effects) and I'd like to switch to try out KDE 4.317:35
treble54I think I've read somewhere that KDE 4.3 isn't coming out on any Kubuntu based distro until 9.1017:35
treble54which further makes me think only following these instructions (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE) won't get me to KDE 4.317:36
treble54anyone know of a good guide that could show me how to get there on Kubuntu?17:36
treble54or even better, from ubuntu?17:36
apparletreble54: you can see this http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.317:37
James147treble54: kde4.3 is availble for jaunty via backports (need to be enabled in /etc/apt/sources.list) but karmic will have it installed by default17:37
apparlebut it will not be officially supported till karmic17:38
treble54will I be in some trouble if I want to stick with 8.10 until 9.10 comes out (or more specifically, when my video card/video card driver is removed from being blacklisted) ?17:38
treble54I'm hoping when Karmic comes out that my video card will not be blacklisted anymore17:39
treble54is there a running list somewhere of what video cards/drivers karmic has blacklisted?17:40
treble54(or at least, a list of blacklisted video cards/drivers for the visual effects)17:40
treble54or maybe its compiz?17:41
James147treble54: compiz isent used in kde4.x17:41
treble54ok well clearly I'm still learning a bit17:42
treble54but I have been shown in (at least) KDE 4.3 whatever used to be the "Visual Effects" options for Ubuntu is integrated into KDE 4.3's options17:43
treble54so I'm not exactly sure what the component is called17:43
James147treble54: kde4.x now uses its own internal compositiong system in kwin17:43
James147treble54: basicly replacing compiz17:44
treble54ok17:44
James147treble54: you could always try a live cd of karmic alpha or jaunty if you wanted to see if they work17:45
James147treble54: before installing them17:45
treble54hmm17:45
treble54well first17:45
treble54I'm trying to make sure whether or not my graphics card is still blacklisted17:46
treble54and lspci gives me:17:46
treble5400:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)17:46
James147treble54: what craphics card are you useing?17:46
treble54and I don't see that card listed here:17:46
treble54http://wiki.compiz-fusion.org/Hardware/Blacklist17:46
treble54only the 96517:47
treble54how do I get the PCID's like those listed on the blacklist link ?17:47
treble54err, PCI ID's*17:47
James147treble54: sounds like the one in my laptop :S just gona check, but effects do works on it in jaunty and karmic if it is17:47
treble54oh ok17:47
treble54thats good17:47
treble54when I tried installing Jaunty a few weeks ago, I could not get the graphics to work17:48
treble54but I did not try the steps listed on that link I just pasted17:48
James147treble54: do recomend a live cd (or usb) if you want to try it out though17:48

treble54thats good18:17
James147treble54: and they both share the same repos so you can switch form one to the toehr easy (or ahve them both installed at once)18:17
treble54excellent18:17
treble54I think when I switch to the GA release of Karmic I'll make sure to have both installed18:18
James147treble54: kubuntu-desktop contains everything needed for kde ubuntu-desktop contains everything for the default ubuntu18:18

puffHi... friday I set up an ubuntu server install for a friend.  Then we added ubuntu-desktop and enabled xdmcp so he could log into it from an Xwindows emulator on a winbox.  Got it working fine, but he wanted kde, so I  kicked off "sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop" and went home.22:07
puffNow he's switched it over to KDE and XDMCP isn't responding, something about GDM not enabled.22:08
puffThat is, attemtping to connect via XDMCP isn't succeeding, giving him an error about GDM not being enabled.22:08
puffHe KDE is not my strong point (neither is gnome, for that matter).22:09
Lynn058I need some help please. I am at myfriend house trying to fix her computer. she has a kubuntu 8.10 os and none of the usb ports are working. theoutcome of ls mcd | grep usb says it doesn't exist and i need to get them fixed does any onehave any ideas?22:11
puffDuring the install of kubuntu, he chose KDM instead of GDM.  However, he hadn't yet restarted. He had to change the static IP because of a conflict; xdmcp worked okay for that.  Then he rebooted and now he he can't get in via xdmcp.22:12
DaskreechLynn058: How long has this happened?22:22
bielekecan't i update to FF 3.5 ?22:24
Daskreechpuff: Enable GDM?22:25
Daskreechbieleke: Yes you can It's just not called FF 3.522:25
bielekeDaskreech: how is it called then ?22:25
DaskreechLynn904: I"m guessing you are Lynn058 updated?22:26
Daskreech!ff3522:26
ubottuFirefox 3.5 Final is available for Jaunty by installing the package firefox-3.5 and firefox-3.5-gnome-support | FF3.5 is referred to as Shiretoko in your UI, see http://is.gd/1reB3 for an explanation | Hardy & Intrepid: http://is.gd/1jkNY22:26
puffI just had him install firestarter and start it up so he can check to see if the iptables are interfering.  Firestarter doesn't show anything in the policy tab;  can I safely assume that this means that the box is wide open?22:26
Lynn904yes22:26
Lynn904had to reboot computeras it had updates and wouldn't stop bugging me22:26
Daskreechpuff: I think you just didn't setup KD Mfor xdmcp22:26
Lynn904so any ideas on my issue?22:26
DaskreechLynn904: :-)22:26
Lynn904daskreech do you have any ideas on how tofix this issue?22:29
puffdaskreech: He uncommented  some lines in /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc and and Xaccess.  Does he have to do something else?22:30
Daskreechpuff: This is KDE3?22:33
DaskreechLynn904: Not sure what's causing it seems like it's not picking up the USB controller which is strange22:33
puffDaskreech: This is jaunty 9.0.4, "sudop aptitude install kubuntu-desktop"22:34
pickscrapeHi, I'm hoping that someone can help me with a dependency problem on karmic alpha. I need to run mysql server 5.0, but akonadi-server is forcing me to 5.1.22:34
Daskreechpuff: Then no. It's KDE422:34
puffSo if that installs kde4... ah, kde4., he says.22:34
Daskreechpickscrape: try #ubuntu+122:34
puffSo I: Oh, I see, typo when I mentioned kdmrc, sorry.22:34
pickscrapeDaskreech: ok, thanks22:34
Daskreechpuff: The fast fix is just flip back on GDM22:38
DaskreechLynn904: How long has this happened?22:38
DaskreechGrrr22:39
Lynn815ok i really need somehelp with this. I can not get these usb ports to work on here. can not use mouse at all and tabbing around is really getting annoying. does anyone have any ideas?22:43
DaskreechLynn815: How long has this happened?22:45
puffDaskreech:  sure, but does that mean he gets the gnome desktop when he connects?22:46
Daskreechpuff: No just choose the KDE Session22:46
puffAh... okay, then why change to kdm at all?22:46
DaskreechI think the only down side is that he has to logout before he can shutdown22:47
puffThat is, what is he missing out on by using gdm?22:47
DaskreechKDM allows you to shut down from inside KDE22:47
puffAha... okay, sholdn't be a problem.22:47
Lynn815this happened on saturday at some point. she said she used it saturday morning and then when she went back to use it saturday evening themouse moved one time andthen hasn't moved since22:47
DaskreechLynn815: No reboot or anything it just didn't work?22:47
Lynn815we have tried rebooting it. we have even pulled the power plug from the back and it stillisn't working22:48
DaskreechLynn815: heh Did you try booting into an older kernel ?22:48
puffDaskreech: Aside from "sudo aptitude reinstall kubuntu-desktop" is there a fsater/easier way to turn gdm back on?22:49
Daskreechsudo dpkg-reconfigure --alternati.. umm hold on22:50
Lynn815i can't boot into anythingelse. this is the only os on this computer22:50
Lynn815she had a power serge a fewmonths ago that wiped out her entire windows system and so thiswas installed on her computer asareplacement.22:51
Daskreechpuff: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm22:52
DaskreechLynn815: Wow. Was anything pluggd into the USB at the time?22:52
DaskreechLynn815: Also do you have a CD burner there?22:53
Lynn815i'm not sure but like i said it was working until saturday night so i don't really know what has happened22:53
Ritzeriskif i wanted the UBUNTU live cd do i just download the regular release22:53
treble54anyone ever connected an external monitor/projector and then lost all their visual effects and can't turn them back on?22:53
macoRitzerisk:  aye, the desktop cd22:53
Lynn815no this system can not burn cds22:54
DaskreechRitzerisk: yes22:56
Daskreechtreble54: Cannot turn them on?22:56
puffDaskreech: Awesome, thanks.22:56
DaskreechLynn815: what does sudo lsmod say ?22:57
treble54Daskreech: well I had the default visual effects turned on and I've never attempted to connect to an external monitor or projector22:57
treble54Daskreech: as soon as I attempt to connect my laptop to a projector and change the settings to extend my desktop to it, it asked me about adjusting my settings with regards to the projector I think22:58
Daskreechtreble54: but how did you try to turn them back on?22:58
* Daskreech hands genii a cuppa22:58
treble54Daskreech: I first attempted to go to System -> Preferences -> Appearance22:58
treble54that brings up the error: "Desktop effects could not be enabled"22:59
Lynn815well i can not see all of it so what am i looking for?22:59
treble54Daskreech: also, something else thats a little off is that I had five workspaces listed in the workspace applet on the lower application bar and now there are only 222:59

treble54gjulian: no, the visual effects were working just fine before I added the external display23:07

gjuliantreble: I was meaning the drivers for the external display...23:07

treble54gjulian: also, when I attempted to extend my desktop to the projector, it asked me something about adjusting my settings to that which conform to the projector's limitations or something .. I don't remember the exact wording so I could be off on the concept that it was trying to explain to me, but I do remember the keyword "virtual"23:12
Lynn815it doesn't show me anything in terms of desktops23:12

DaskreechLynn815: Can you pastebin sudo lsmod ?23:13
Lynn815nope because i can not copy paste anything23:14
treble54I believe my questions should probably be directed at the #ubuntu channel now that I think about it23:14
DaskreechLynn815: sudo apt-get install pastebint && sudo lsmod | pastebinit23:14
Daskreechit will give you a URL23:14

carpii_in what respect ?23:29
Ritzeriskwell i have a windows box .... and im wondering .. i vmware a ubuntu install but im trying to get wireless connection working on the ubuntu like directly using the Hardware of the wireless.... is that even possible23:33
Kirbonhello23:34
Kirbonempty room23:34
oddnoggincan't connect directly. have to bridge connections on the windows side23:34
KirbonI'm running jaunty and my "apt-get update" has quit working, ...keeps giving a 404 error....but the repositories are there cause I can browse to them in ff have the URL's changed....cause it hasn't been moved to the old archives yet23:35
carpii_it depends, i think you can dedicate a certain usb device to the vm, but im not really sure why youd want to do it this way23:35
carpii_why not just bridge it ?23:35
carpii_kirbon, have ou checked /etc/apt/sources.lst ?23:36
Kirbonyes, also copied one from a working laptop23:36
Ritzeriskwell if i bridge it i dont have wireless settings does that mean i have to be virtual23:39
DaskreechLynn: Did you install pastebinit ?23:39
DaskreechLynn: did you install pastebinit ?23:40
Kirbonmy apt-get update seemed to break after i installed nvidia drivers but have uninstalled them and is still broken23:41
Lynni tried to and it said it did not exist23:42
Lynndoes anyone have any ideas as to how i can reinstall usb drivers?23:45
Kirbonapt-get will work from other sites but "apt-get update" will not work from the ubuntu repositories and well the links do appear dead when browsing from ff, but I haven't changed anything in the sources.list file and even tried another copy from a working machine23:46
=== desti_T2 is now known as desti

Lynnok nothing is working does anyone know how to reinstall usb drivers?23:50
Kirbonapt-get is going to one repository URL but doesn't match, but my sources.list is correct and works on a different system. Have the repository directories been renamed in the past few days?  Here is the differences:23:54

Kirbonhttp://archive.ubuntu.com/dists/jaunty-backports/universe/binary-i386/Packages23:54
Kirbonclearly different23:54
DaskreechLynn: The USB drivers would be in the kernel. You can try install a new kernel and boot to it23:55
DaskreechLynn: What I would suggest is to get a fedora or an OpenSUSE live CD and boot up the machine with it to see if the USB works23:56
Daskreech It's possible the controller or the ports are fried23:56
