[00:05] h4mx0r, yes, mine was working too, and I never found out what made it stop lol [00:05] h4mx0r, you might be the dude to solve the mystery [00:05] nathan7: but i'm not sure it's the same problem because the pixel isn't "stuck" per se [00:06] Hmm [00:06] yadu`, when you update it should tell you which packages can be removed, check the list and if needed pastebin it [00:06] nix-idioteque, got it thanks. nvm [00:06] Piranah: there is a version called seamonkey already installed and it seems to work better [00:06] void_pointer: I dunno but I was getting some weird acpid calls from root perhaps its a power save feature gone wrong killing it [00:06] jiohdi, ok thnx [00:06] yadu`: if you sudo rm -frv /var/cache/ and then sudo apt-get update, it will auto-correct itself [00:06] yadu`: that is the best way to do it [00:06] I was just wondering that ubuntu has a much faster internet speed on the same computer than windows xp once did. same hardware, modem ISP everything the same, but ubuntu is faster.

[00:10] yadu`, I only have a few more minutes until I'm outta here ... did you run through those steps? [00:10] yadu`: you can also sudo chown -R 667 /etc/, sometimes ubuntu has issues with its file permission, and it doesn't seamlessly upgrade [00:10] afternoon folks. [00:10] Blizzerand: yes that sound kinda like my problem but i got no bar to go to settings to fix that do i go into like safe mode how do i do that [00:10] yadu`: that might help you out as well [00:10] randal: Not sure but try Alt-F2 and type in Gnome panel to get the panel back [00:11] nathan7, ubottu i'm so sorry , It's just that, it comes out that way when I type faster ... making amends [00:11] Blizzerand: ya i just read that how do i get out of that terminal when i type that in [00:11] Blizzerand: randal, It's gnome-panel [00:11] hi guys, I'm having Windows Vista installed on my system and I'd like to install Ubuntu on the same machine.

[00:22] for how can i get the terminal up [00:22] formode: whats tty [00:22] hipodilski ; yeah , don't worry you won't loose your stuff [00:22] can someone please look at this log from vgetty and tell me how to fix it? http://pastebin.com/m3c837d39 [00:22] jrgp, reinstalling ?

[00:23] yadu`: you need to reinstate the old permissions somehow. If you wish to do that some other way, that works too. [00:23] can I get cp to skip files already there [00:23] formode: so what should i do next [00:23] jophish: use rsync [00:23] Blizzerand: ok thanks [00:23] chingus: test it then === adam is now known as Guest43083 [00:23] randal: We need a "Run..."

[00:24] soundray: definitely. i bought it for this specific reason. [00:24] yadu`: You didn't just change the permissions of /etc, you changed the permissions of every subdirectory and file [00:24] formode: nbr i dont think its differnt i switched into clasical mod so it looks identical to ubuntu [00:24] that buffer overflow bug was fixed in june lol? [00:24] yadu`: And they aren't all the same [00:24] Is this the official ubuntu support channel at irc.freenode.net?

[00:25] formod how do i do that [00:25] yadu`: No easy way [00:25] DJCharlie: looking more closely, the fault doesn't seem to be specifically voice-related [00:25] formode: can i do that in console [00:25] randal: I dunno how to on ubuntu, try like ctrl alt delete or something [00:25] Jordan_U, hmm ... then i should get started [00:25] bruenig: you have experience with restoring /etc/ perhaps you can help this yadu` fellow [00:25] soundray: i'm thinking it's initialization, but i can't figure out how to set that, or even what to set it to.

[00:28] chingus: Google chrome for linux does not use wine [00:28] shadowh511: the pirates boarded and raided it [00:28] chingus: probably, but if you're running wine, why not try a Windows antivirus program? [00:28] in general you can do: sudo find /etc -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \; [00:28] soundray, good idea [00:29] and then: sudo find /etc -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \; [00:29] which will get you decent enough permissions [00:29] but then you will have to go through and fix sudoers and such [00:29] formode where did you go [00:29] bruenig: But there are security issues that are non trivial like /etc/passwd vs /etc/shadow [00:30] right yes that is what I mean when I say sudoers and such [00:30] but it should be doable to kind of fix the exceptions, better than a reinstall in any event [00:30] soundray: any ideas on fixing it? [00:31] somebody help me about gtk library? === AndorinKato is now known as Andorin [00:31] DJCharlie: what's the problem (aside from the error messages)? [00:31] Noturno99: what about it exactly? [00:32] what can I include it in my C programs? [00:32] where do you report errors in help.ubuntu.com [00:32] i downloaded it and i don't do this yet [00:32] how.. [00:32] can anybody vhelp me with alsa [00:32] soundray: well, if you'll notice at the bottom of the paste, when a call came in, not only did it not answer, but during the second ring, it said the line stopped ringing (it rang 3 more times after that). [00:32] could also poke in the .deb's to find the propper permission of the files [00:33] Noturno99: http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk-tutorial/stable/ [00:33] Noturno99: you should install the library itself using APT, not downloading it. You need the -dev package for libgtk [00:33] !software > Noturno99 [00:33] Noturno99, please see my private message [00:34] DJCharlie: where are you (country)? [00:34] ok, i do this, apt-get install gkt2.0-dev.. [00:34] Noturno99: no, that's not right [00:34] so, how I include it in my c, just #include ?? [00:35] many errors.. [00:35] Noturno99: read the link I gave you [00:35] soundray: united states. [00:35] Noturno99: compile the hello world example there [00:35] allright [00:35] i'll see [00:35] thanks [00:35] DJCharlie: not one of those where you typically have long delays between rings [00:36] soundray: nope.

If I needed access to proprietary software like adobe apps, and office, whats the best way to go about it? wine? virtual machine? [00:38] hey how do i restart x org in terminal plz help [00:38] : thats a program? [00:38] mgv1: http://openbittorrent.com/ [00:39] : will check that - thank you [00:39] hey how do i restart x org in terminal plz help [00:39] ScottNYC: often depends on the app [00:39] randal: kill it [00:39] how can I find out why my laptop is flaking out? it seems to be freezing (with lots of disk activity), and when I reboot, I'm getting X11 errors and the GUI fails to load [00:39] Koi hindustan se hai kya. [00:39] randal: sudo invoke-rc.d gdm restart [00:39] randal: or change the runlevel [00:39] DJCharlie: did your modem come with any bundled software? [00:39] whats the best VM software for linux? whats the name of the application? [00:40] virtual box? [00:40] ScottNYC: qemu [00:40] qemu, ok [00:40] try mylund [00:40] jeeves_Moss: Have you tried memtest? === mj is now known as Guest79081 [00:40] Jordan_U, yes. the extended test came back clean [00:41] Jordan_U: thanks i know have a black screen how long does it take to restart [00:41] randal: It shouldn't take more than a few seconds [00:41] Jordan_U: great its still black [00:42] Jordan_U: do you know how i can get into like failsafe mode or safe mode whatever you call it [00:42] DJCharlie: if it came with its own software, you can possibly find out what initialization strings that software uses, and copy them into the mgetty configuration [00:42] randal: Does this happen every time you boot? [00:43] soundray: unfortunately, it didn't. [00:43] Can I recover info from a formatted hard drive? [00:44] yes [00:44] m0r0n: How was it formatted? [00:44] m0r0n: depends on how you formated it, and what you did to it afterwards, and what the original filesystem was [00:44] Jordan_U: my problem is i have a netbook and installed ubuntu on it. It worked great but when i restarted it after installing updates first restart of the computer my window bars dont show up or desktop bars all i get is my desktop [00:44] DJCharlie: any detailed documentation on its special AT commands? [00:45] In most cases there are programs that will read and recover data from formatted drives, as long as it wasn't a low level format [00:45] Jordan_U: Not sure, I put the windows cd in to install onto my other hard drive, I had to reformat and the instalation disk had an option and I used that. It had vista on it before, so I assume NTFS? [00:45] Jordan_U: so do you have anyideas [00:45] randal: Ok, do you auto login or do you see the login screen at boot? [00:46] randal: At the login screen look under the sessions menu [00:46] Jordan_U: i see the logon screen [00:46] randal: Try "Failsafe Gnome" [00:47] What python editor do you all recommend? [00:47] oh hey yo, everybody [00:47] I'm really happy y'all are having uch a good time and all [00:47] And I'ma let you guys finish [00:47] Jordan_U: ya failsafe did help any ideas of what i should do [00:48] kanyeW_IRQ, did you have a support question [00:48] kanyeW_IRQ: Please stop, this is a support channel [00:48] but the #C++ channel has one of the best discussions of ALL TIME [00:48] Jordan_U: i meant didnt [00:48] oh [00:48] right... [00:48] Any ideas? [00:48] What python editor do you all recommend? [00:49] Fox: if in doubt, use emacs [00:49] Vim. [00:49] nathan7: no, emacs [00:49] EMACS: Escape Meta Alt Control Shift [00:50] Fox: the normal one, just type python [00:50] really? I used that years ago, it was weird. Maybe improved [00:50] Fox: a sorry, you asked for editor not for interprete [00:50] Eight Megabytes And Continually Swapping (from a time when 8MB was a lot :) [00:50] iceroot yea [00:50] Fox: for editor, of course vi :) [00:51] Fox: the editor for real men [00:51] Fox: vim and emacs are both good editors [00:51] soundray: no ideas? [00:51] DJCharlie: you haven't answered my question [00:51] Thanks yall [00:52] soundray: sorry, i missed it. too many open windows, plus i'm on the air right now. could you repeat it please? [00:52] Jordan_U: i i typed in metacity --replace and then gnome panels and i got it all up and running i think my start up script isnt working [00:52] DJCharlie: any detailed documentation on the modem's special AT commands? [00:53] randal: Is compiz set as the default window manager? [00:53] WHee. [00:53] ...darn thing. [00:53] soundray: just what i can find in VOCP's website (http://vocpsystem.com/vgetty_modems.php?mode=component) and it's fairly generic. [00:53] Jordan_U: if thats defalt yes how do i get compiz to start whats the comand [00:53] Jordan_U: If you have a graphics card capable of running compiz and your drivers are working then yes [00:54] randal: Try setting Sys>Prefs>Appearance>Visual Effects tab to Extra [00:54] Jordan_U: so whats the command to get the compiz thing to restart [00:54] randal: System > Preferences > Display settings > Effects [00:54] randal: Compiz might be what is causing the problem, try disabling "desktop effects" in System > Preferences > Appearance [00:54] DJCharlie: okay, last suggestion before I give up: the init string may be doing something unintended. Replace it with a generic reset command (ATZ or ATZ0). [00:55] DJCharlie: or maybe AT&F [00:55] Jordan_U: it was disabled it was working fine when i had it inabled how do i start up window manage compiz [00:55] soundray: okay, and where would i put that? [00:55] dan, ubuntu is pretty sick [00:55] randal: If you want to start compiz, run "compiz --replace" [00:56] DJCharlie: in the vgetty config file. Don't know where that goes in Ubuntu, but I would look in /etc/mgetty [00:56] DJCharlie: save the original so you can go back easily. [00:56] Jordan_U: i cheing for video drviers now and then im gona check me boot up script [00:56] soundray: been through that file, and there's nothing about init strings, unfortunately. [00:56] Jordan_U: checking [00:57] DJCharlie: there must be some place that defines all those commands it sends, like "AT+FDCC=1,5,0,2,0,0,0,0" [00:57] Jordan_U: i get wobbly windows so i think its working good but why doesent this start up on boot [00:57] randal: Set Sys>Prefs>Appearance>Visual Effects tab to Extra for it to start when you login [00:58] soundray: ok, thanks, i'll go back to digging. [00:58] randal: Some part gnome-session is failing [00:58] DJCharlie: if all else fails, do a 'find /etc -type f -print 0 | xargs -0 grep -l "AT+FDCC"' (could take a while) [00:58] how do i check what kind of wireless card I have on my laptop [00:59] i can not find any hardware configuration program or anything === NoCode_ is now known as NoCode [00:59] SilentJonathan: look through the output from lspci and lsusb [01:00] Jordan_U: so what should i do [01:00] thank you [01:00] soundray: find: paths must precede expression: 0 [01:01] DJCharlie: sorry, I put a space where there shouldn't be any [01:01] hey,people, how can i see a movie in avi and open a legend in srt? [01:01] DJCharlie: if all else fails, do a 'find /etc -type f -print0 | xargs -0 grep -l "AT+FDCC"' (could take a while) [01:01] randal: Try logging out and logging back in with "xterm" session, then in xterm run gnome-session and look at the errors it prints out [01:02] Jordan_U: whats xtern [01:02] randal: It doesn't start anything but a terminal [01:02] Jordan_U: when i open torminal i get this error (error creating child process for this terminal) [01:05] Jordan_U: ok i added gnome-pannel to start up and compiz it now works but i have nbr and when i log in i dont get the cool nbr thing [01:05] hey im trying to add medibuntu to my repositories and im following this guide and it doesnt say where i can get the key https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu [01:05] how do I make ubuntu appear on the network so that I can copy files to it? [01:06] randal: Since this happened after an upgrade check if there are any unconfigured packages by running "sudo dpkg --configure -a" [01:06] burntresistor: yeah, it does [01:06] burntresistor: look under "Then, add the GPG Key:" [01:06] Hi Good Morning from Malaysia [01:06] Jordan_U: ya that might be it but i reinstalled the comter 3 times and everythime i get this [01:06] soundray: it came back with 0 matches.

[01:07] is this normal [01:07] randal: You probably shouldn't add gnome-panel and compiz again since they should be starting automatically ( and hopefully will again when we solve the root problem ) [01:07] Jordan_U: but i think i figured something out i went to swtich to nbr mode and it switched i also got an error give me a second to write it out === darkstorm is now known as Guest83710 [01:07] How can i recursively delete all *.jpg files within an images folder with many folders and other extensions within?

NTFS has transparent compression since it's been introduced about 15 years ago. Reiser4 and btrfs will include transparent compression but aren't finished. ZFS has some licensing incompatibilities. I thought ext4 would support transparent compression.

[01:54] lstarnes: is that a bash syntax as apposed to rm? [01:54] JediMaster: That works with pretty much any command as well, -- means there are no more flags [01:54] JediMaster: no, that's rm using the getopt library [01:55] JediMaster: most GNU userland utilities understand it [01:55] Jordan_U: I presume commands that use the getopt library then? [01:55] thanks guys [01:55] some programs might not understand it [01:55] JediMaster: Yes [01:55] That what I taught, but after my upgrade I noticed that my "httpd" is completely empty and everything was moved to "apache2.conf"!!!! my system wasn't affected at all!!

[02:42] papachungo13: tried http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=542756 [02:42] thanks [02:42] I got a noob question/problem [02:42] thanks losher [02:42] Oh I can Help with Noob questions [02:42] islington; i just saw a magazine at college saying about kde 4.2 features and i want to install it.. Also i want to use my gnome desktop at times when i need it [02:42] fuzzy_ what is it [02:42] sweet [02:43] i'm having trouble getting my wifi to work on my acer aspire one...i followed the documentation but i'm stuck at the make part [02:43] running ubuntu and tring to change runlevel [02:43] i'm getting error: Makefile.inc:1: *** missing separator. Stop. [02:43] PerryArmstrong: If you install KDE from synaptic, it will allow you to install it and choose at launch which desktop you want to use [02:43] thomas_ there is your problem it's a acer "aspire one" netbook/gimmick. [02:43] thomas_ you may need to buy a netbook. [02:43] soreau: ok i just figured something out i think with the fresh install i can restart it fine and it works properly but when i change to clasic mode(not nbr) it messes things up [02:43] PerryArmstrong: I would install kdebase [02:43] randal: I really don't know exactly how ubuntu has gnome configured to start everything. AFAIK, they launch a daemon that's supposed to take care of everything on startup [02:43] gwallace; okk... [02:44] islington; whats kdebase [02:44] randal: What is nbr? [02:44] ! nbr [02:44] Ubuntu Netbook Remix is a slightly altered version of Ubuntu, optimised for small screens. For more information, please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UNR - support in #ubuntu [02:44] PerryArmstrong: just the core componenets of kde [02:44] ! nbr is a pile of crap [02:44] soreau: netbook remix [02:44] GLitches in full desktop mode do not use it. [02:44] Callum_, so no help there lol? [02:44] ive changed telinit in the script to 3 then reboot but it goof on reboot [02:44] Hello again: I just copied a theme folder (from gnome looks) to the .emerald/themes/ directory, but it's not showing up in the Emerald Theme Manager, is there another way to import a theme? [02:44] randal: That's probably your whole problem. You said it was a completely clean default install which it isn't with nbr === Cpudan80 is now known as Guest3944 [02:44] what am i doing wrong [02:44] islington; will that give me all that's there in kde [02:44] its true i know.....but i have it.... [02:45] should i not use ubuntu on it? [02:45] vock: simply go to customize [02:45] soreau: its a clean nbr install [02:45] <_pip> aaa... what can cause, that some addresses works fine with traceroute, some wont? (eg. bing.com: OK, google.com: many 'no reply' rows? [02:45] PerryArmstrong: just the desktop right? not any of the applications? [02:45] vock: then you find emerald - whatever for your windows, borders, etc [02:45] soreau: nbr comes built in [02:45] randal: That's not what you said at first. Anyway, that's most likely your problem [02:45] thomas_ Ubuntu is a well umm I won't comment x === Cpudan80_ is now known as Cpudan80 [02:45] islington; whats the difference with the applications?? [02:46] soreau: sorry but im confused why this is not a clean install [02:46] Callum_, so no help there lol? <--- not for me =P [02:46] vock: also, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=535869 [02:46] PerryArmstrong: okay well in a nutshell, all the apps you use currently terminal, nautilus... are all written in gtk [02:46] randal: I don't know anything about nbr, but it is your most likely culprit [02:46] vock: just in case [02:46] islington; yes [02:47] what command should i use to find out what version of ati driver ubuntu installed via "hardware drivers" ? fglrxinfo | grep 'version' returns "OpenGL version 2.1.8575" on Jaunty, which is odd because the last drivers released by ati are 9.* [02:47] PerryArmstrong: together with gnome you have your basic desktop environment [02:47] PerryArmstrong: installing kde you have a couple of options [02:47] soreau: well thanks for your help ill try a couple things and if i cant get it to work i will install ubuntu without nbr [02:47] atealtha, did that get resolved ? [02:47] PerryArmstrong: just kde (no file mangager/ no other apps [02:47] nix-idioteque, thanks a bunch [02:48] PerryArmstrong: kde with qt apps [02:48] McLinux: nope it left me with a barer xorg.conf [02:48] PerryArmstrong: or the whole kubuntu Desktop [02:48] islington; qt apps? [02:48] I'm so frustrated I'm about to install debian lenny to see if this works [02:48] vock: you rock that desktop, homie. [02:48] well that is frustrating [02:48] it worked before ? [02:48] randal: there is an menu item in preferences (near the bottom, forget what its called) to toggle between nbr desktop and normal. does that help? [02:49] McLinux: I've been running ubuntu 9.04 fine since it came out [02:49] atealtha: Windows 98 is far more superior [02:49] the only thing that changed is the hard drive [02:49] and then you changed harddrive ? [02:49] PerryArmstrong: apps that are similar in function but writting in qt. (konsole=terminal, dolphin=nautilus) the will fit more seemlessly in kde [02:49] did you restore it from an image, etc ? [02:49] *written [02:49] McLinux: no [02:49] but I didn't think I had to [02:49] I've been using the restricted drivers fine [02:49] can someone help me figute out where these extra init strings are coming from in my vgetty installation please? log output is here: http://pastebin.com/d19838327 [02:49] straight hdd copy? [02:50] McLinux: new HDD install with software RAID (like before but smaller capacity) [02:50] all my files are backed up somewhere else [02:50] PerryArmstrong: gtk apps will look rather out of place because they follow gnome theme instructions, qt apps follow kde themeing instructions [02:50] PerryArmstrong: a really simplified way of looking at it [02:52] Korax: sorr but no [02:52] if they're all backed up, i'd say re-install.. short of removing your drivers completely and reinstalling, i am not sure.. unless someone else here has something better to suggest. i would almost imagine that it'd work "out of the box" [02:52] soreau: so i think i might of found another thing as soon as i enable the graphics card this start to act up [02:53] McLinux: that's what I've been doing the past two days [02:53] Who knows about rc-default script? [02:53] Anyone know how to use wget to specify a destination folder? [02:53] it's like I'm using a competely different distro [02:53] Howdy. I want to keep my system at karmic but upgrade my mythtv packages to be karmic. How can I do that? [02:53] i have some probloum about apache can be fix here? [02:53] hello ninux.org registered a new ML for the italian ninuxday ninuxday@ml.ninux.org [02:53] atealtha, not to bag on ubuntu at all, but at times like these, i prefer archlinux.. it is much more straightforward [02:53] and easier to debug [02:54] heh [02:54] randal: Are you absolutely sure compiz isn't starting? If you try to click where the panel is supposed to be, does it show up? [02:54] well I'm giving lenny a shot [02:54] Alternatively, on my karmic system, how can I downgrade my mythtv packages so that they are jaunty? [02:54] I'll keep that in mind though [02:54] only if you love lenny [02:54] soreau: yes it is untill i restart the computer then compiz doesent start at all [02:54] debian is a great platform tho [02:54] a little bloated for my tastes but still good [02:54] I've been using debian for a long time [02:54] firestorm: mythtv is installed through repos? [02:55] islington: yes it is [02:55] soreau: if i click where the panel is oposed to be it comes up but after i restart compiz doesent even start [02:55] hi. how can i connect to my brothers computer? he is using ubuntu too [02:55] firestorm: fire up synaptic [02:55] what command should i use to find out what version of ati driver ubuntu installed via "hardware drivers" ? fglrxinfo | grep 'version' returns "OpenGL version 2.1.8575" on Jaunty, which is odd because the last drivers released by ati are 9.8 [02:55] firestorm: lets try something === |Draglor| is now known as Draglor [02:56] geophysics: To share files? [02:56] firestorm: search for the mythtv packages [02:56] islington: firstly, should I be downgrading on my frontend on karmic to be jaunty .... or should I be trying to upgrade my backend on jaunty to be karmic? [02:56] Korax: yes [02:56] soreau: what i am thinking is nbr mode does not like graphics enable but when i am in clasic mode graphics works flawlessly [02:56] mandrake->redhat->debian->gentoo-> ( ubuntu<->archlinux ) [02:56] randal: I think you're probably not realizing it but compiz is starting and causing your panel to disappear at first [02:56] that's my genealogy [02:56] geophysics: cifs shares are the easiest to setup. Just right click a folder and click Sharing Options [02:56] randal: What makes you think compiz isn't starting? [02:56] FIrestorm: possibly to you try one, and it it doesnt work , try the other? [02:57] islington: ok ... which should I try first u think? [02:57] i tried like 5 distros when i started [02:57] islington; ther? [02:57] PerryArmstrong: yes [02:57] How can I change default runlevel to start without GUI? [02:57] mandrake was the only one that could autoconfigure my ethernet connection [02:57] islington; sorry i had to restart my system [02:57] firestorm: downgrade [02:57] when i restart the computer the only thing i see is the desktop piture and no window boraders but when i go into terminal and type compiz --replace it starts up [02:57] PerryArmstrong: np [02:57] islington; so can you continue [02:58] islington: ok ... got synaptic myth packages shown on my karmic system [02:58] PerryArmstrong: gtk apps will look rather out of place because they follow gnome theme instructions, qt apps follow kde themeing instructions [02:58] PerryArmstrong: a really simplified way of looking at it [02:58] Korax: ok im downloading a package, thank you [02:58] I just installed a package called gtk2-engines-ubuntulooks, and it's asking me to uninstall ubuntu-desktop, will I lose my desktop GUI environment and get stuck with a console on reboot? [02:58] alright firestorm, select the package you want to downgrade [02:58] randal: Try this: Instead of typing compiz --replace, instead do 'ps ax|grep compiz' and pastebin the output to pastebin.com [02:59] What tools/methods do I use to query/monitor state changes related to rfkill ? [02:59] firestorm: package>>force version [02:59] islington; so you mean kde apps are better when compared to gnome apps [02:59] geophysics: np. If you are just on a local network, enabling Guest access is the easiest [02:59] please any one can help meeeee [02:59] where does wget usually save files to? [03:00] physic, whats the problem? [03:00] soreau: ok im still havent restarted since i did the fresh install it will take me a second i just put ubuntu tweak on the computer to see the start up and i dont see gnome-panel or compiz in it [03:00] chingus: home folder [03:00] islington: force version is greyed out [03:00] with installing apache [03:00] Dein, thanks [03:00] man this is killing me [03:00] PerryArmstrong: subjective, historically gnome apps tend to have less options through gui, but have sane defaults. Kde apps have the philosophy that every options should be changable through gui [03:00] i installed apache2 and phpmyadmin and perl [03:00] firestorm: are the packages selected? [03:00] islington; ohh [03:00] but phpmyadmin not working in browser === McLinux is now known as McLinux|molson [03:01] islington: yes [03:01] firestorm: click on the name [03:01] any ideas on installing parallels tools in 9.04 [03:01] ubuntu [03:01] firestorm: still grayed out? [03:01] islington: yup [03:01] hmm [03:01] physic, update your browser OR get mozilla firefox rather than ubufox OR get a completely different browser. If non of those work reinstall phpmyadmin [03:02] soreau: im just restarting [03:02] hello, anyone can help me what program can I take a picture with my web cam? [03:02] randal: gnome-panel is started by a daemon and compiz is started by gnome-appearance-properties which probably also has the gnome daemon start it for you so you're not going to see it in sessions [03:02] i have ff i update phpmyadmin than 5 time [03:02] heogen: "cheese" is not bad [03:02] ! cheese | heogen [03:02] Sorry, I don't know anything about cheese [03:02] islington; kk so i am just wondering to install kde along with its apps...but i used kde once and i felt that the menus are redundant and disordered [03:02] can someone help me figure out where these extra init strings are coming from in my vgetty installation please? log output is here: http://pastebin.com/d19838327 [03:02] ! webcam | heogen [03:02] heogen: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [03:02] soreau: im not in season im in auto start [03:02] korax thank you guys [03:02] !offtopic > chingus [03:02] chingus, please see my private message [03:03] randal: session, auto start, startup programs whatever. they're all the same thing [03:03] soreau thank you [03:03] PerryArmstrong: this is unfortunately quite true. you will have to clean up the menus by hand [03:03] heogen: no problem :) [03:03] islington: can it be done from the command line with apt or dpkg? [03:03] physic, you probably have ubufox i.e. the firefox that came with ubuntu, get the latest mozilla one. [03:04] firestorm: I am looking it up [03:04] i have latest [03:04] i found mistake in this https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/samba-dc.html was told to report on launchpad but i have no idea where on launchpad to report [03:05] islington; once i install kde and its apps can i switch between gnome and kde?? [03:05] physic: what comes up when you go /phpmyadmin ? [03:05] firestorm: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2007-June/116572.html [03:05] SnakDoc against the samba package? [03:05] physic, if you got it from mozilla website directly then you probably do. In that case try a browser other than firefox? [03:05] anyway to rid myself of the gui at boot? [03:05] wait wait its working [03:05] physic, funny i had a similar problem but after I installed the firefox version on mozilla that solved it. [03:05] soreau: this is werid its not messing up give me a second [03:06] PerryArmstrong: yes. essentially your logins are either handled by gdm (gnome version) or kdm (kde version) ,each has options to pick the de wuite easily [03:06] *quite [03:06] IdleOne the issue is this add machine script = sudo /usr/sbin/useradd -n -g machines -c Machine -d /var/lib/samba -s /bin/false %u [03:06] the lower case n should be N [03:06] but its asking ABOUT user name and password? [03:06] which user i type i don know [03:07] islington; so tell me the commands that i need ...in the sense the packages that i need to install to get both the kde and its apps [03:08] soreau: this is the strangest thing its working now [03:08] i havent used my box in a few weeks and i come back and i have no audio, Ubuntu 8.04, how do i find the problem? [03:08] randal: Good. leave it alone now [03:08] PerryArmstrong: just the basic apps or the whole canoli?

[03:09] soreau: getdeb [03:09] online boxing game http://www.kobox.org/kobox-fande-Nourine.html [03:09] randal: My motto is if it's not in the standard ubuntu repos, don't use it. If it was a good program, it would be in the repos [03:09] soreau: it looks rely good its made from ubuntu i think http://www.getdeb.net/release/4775 [03:10] PerryArmstrong: er.. sorry colloquial expression. Canoli means stuff like kmail, and konqueror, not neccesary but part of the kubuntu package [03:10] randal: It could be screwing you up [03:10] soreau: this is the first install i used it [03:10] randal: Oh well, hopefully you don't break it again [03:10] soreau: but i havent installed update yet or the wifi fix with this netbook [03:10] islington; doesn't matter...

[03:31] physic, any luck? [03:32] Do they focus more on bugs in the OS? [03:32] So I take it irc.ubuntu.net is just irc.freenode.net [03:32] it say this file not found [03:32] in a LTS, that is? [03:32] if u go to the end of the posts in the parallels forum , page 5, its states its released [03:32] ahaha [03:32] answered [03:32] duh [03:32] support was released as of the last parallels update [03:32] scott: LTS means long term support, sometimes newere packages bring newer bugs [03:32] physic, can you say what the file was again? [03:32] !LTS [03:32] LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server.

Or are you an end user that doesn't understand linux much? [04:25] Bookman, what card do you have? [04:25] and I tell by? [04:26] hittingpilot: Basically, in order to install ubuntu, or any linux distro, and have it work with Windows, you must either have a grub boot partition, or you must install grub on your ubuntu partition, and copy the boot partition into a file on the windows drive. [04:26] Trent_: right now I only have 1 hard drive formatted, and it has Ubuntu on an ext4 partition, I am planning to install windows 7 on another drive, and have 1 more drive for backup [04:26] settntrenz, tried it... gave me "The user `wbc' is already a member of `audio'."

Does grub come with a menu then? [04:29] pete_: fresh install of 9.04 does not seem friendly with this chipset [04:29] how difficult is it to install windows and ubuntu on a MBP, being able to boot into any of them at startup? [04:29] Bookman, odd, I am looking for info [04:29] SeaPhor|game: Last thing I can offer would be going through this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenSound and seeing what is in place and matches up to your system. [04:29] dualboot just sucks [04:29] I tried to restore evolution's settings but I'm not sure what extension they should have. Any help? (and now evolution won't start!)

And, did grub come up with the menu when you boot? [04:30] Bookman, but it is BCM4318 yes? [04:31] pete_: yes, airforce [04:31] Hi, does anyone know how to setup a postfix server with mysql? [04:31] Trent_: oh! of course, I used the default setting from the ubuntu installation [04:31] Bookman, sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [04:31] anything in there? [04:31] rohn, try #evolution or try to install thunderbird from the repos [04:31] I followed this tutoria: http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual_postfix_mysql_quota_courier_ubuntu_edgy_p2 [04:32] hittingpilot: Oh, my grub config wasn't made by ubuntu, I made it, so I don't know what ubuntu would do during install.

[04:32] pete_: nope [04:32] SeaPhor|game: sorry, I don't know what #evolution is [04:32] Bookman, ok. you got that XP disc right [04:32] Trent_: stupid me didn't look at what the install generated [04:32] yet outside users can connect and send the mail to the server but gets rejected due to lookup failures [04:32] hittingpilot: Do you get some errors? Is it just hanging on you? What do you see on the screen if it's hanging? [04:32] pete_: yup...no problem, I will install. Thanks. [04:32] Bookman, no [04:32] who uses lostiRC here [04:33] Trent_: is what hanging? [04:33] Bookman, thats not what I meant at all [04:33] any ideas? [04:33] thoughts, comments, vs Xchat? [04:33] hittingpilot: hang as in not respond, like a dead man hanging from a noose. [04:33] rohn, try type this-> /join #evolution [04:33] Trent_: I know what hang is, I was referring to what you asked was hanging? [04:33] Bookman, can you pop the xp cd in the ubuntu box?

[04:35] hello [04:35] everybody [04:35] Bookman, no problem, I could have fixed your problem though [04:35] :) [04:35] hittingpilot: You mentioned it not booting anymore if you add Windows 7 to the list. So I assumed you meant you had attempted a Windows 7 installation before. [04:35] hello I have set up a directory for samba share with these parameters browseable = yes read only = no guest ok = yes chmod 775 but i cannot write to the directory from a windows machine whats wrong? [04:35] Trent_:This is the third iteration of this system, the first 2 involved windows installed first [04:36] pete_: No, it should work as is. Not an issue for you . Just the developers. [04:36] Bookman, its hard to make software for companies who don't release any information or code though [04:36] you know, as a third party. [04:36] SeaPhor|game: #evolution says can't talk there [04:37] Trent_:after i installed Ubuntu on top of the Windows installation, a default menu item was added for Windows, this would never boot correctky [04:37] correctly* [04:37] Bookman, anyway. XP is a fine OS as far as im concerned [04:37] pete_: I understand.....I just have too many machines to bandaid to make this solution work. [04:37] SeaPhor|game: it says "cannot send to channel [04:37] Bookman, yea, and XP is obviously the best windows usually. [04:37] hittingpilot: Okay, I'm a bit confused then. What is not booting, when you add Windows 7 to the list? Is grub not starting up? Is ubuntu not starting up? [04:38] pete_: yup, I agree. I'll try again another time with Linux. [04:38] take care bookman, [04:38] need help setting up postfix with mysql. [04:38] ok, so the only thing that does not work for me is my laptop volume buttons does anyone have any ideas? [04:39] Trent_: windows 7 would not boot [04:39] hittingpilot1: Your problems with the previous windows 7 install are now gone, because it doesn't exist, correct? [04:39] here is my problem: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7972307#post7972307 [04:39] Trent_: the only thing on my system right now is Ubuntu 9.04 [04:39] !evolution [04:39] Sorry, I don't know anything about evolution [04:40] that's okay, I don't either [04:40] hi I am trying to compile a source package [04:40] !evolution [04:40] Sorry, I don't know anything about evolution [04:40] I am getting this error [04:40] is there a software on ubuntu to develop web site [04:40] !creationism [04:40] Sorry, I don't know anything about creationism [04:40] ok, so the only thing that does not work for me is my laptop volume buttons does anyone have any ideas?

[04:43] Trent_:I know about partition tables, and I found this thread too http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1035999&page=2 [04:43] Koganei: you can't install Windows from an Ubuntu, of course. [04:43] any ideas on how to get my laptop buttons to work [04:44] should i browse using this link [04:44] pete_: try xev and see whether they show up at all [04:44] Muelli: no way to put the iso image to a USB and boot the XP install from there? [04:44] Does anyone know anything about Postfix?? [04:44] Trent_http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1035999 Muelli, thanks a lot. [04:44] hittingpilot1: checking it out. [04:44] aaron: that's a bit advanced for this channel. try #postfix [04:44] just bought my first blue ray disk today (Disneynature - Earth) [04:44] what is the trick to getting it going? [04:45] Koganei: *shrug* please ask somewhere else. I think windows is not capable of doing this. There are a lot of issues with USB Drivers not being loaded quickly enough etc. [04:45] Koganei, please get away from Mr. Bill'$ clutches. [04:45] Muelli, they do, what now? [04:45] jumbalumba: wish I could, but my school requires XP to connect to the wireless, so I have no choice [04:45] greetings [04:45] am i out of luck? [04:46] Koganei: maybe virtualbox or vmware is a solution for you? [04:46] pete_: good. try gnome-keybinding-properties and set the volume-up and down buttons [04:46] is there any software to develop web sits like dream viewer on windows [04:46] Muelli: I thought it'd be irrelevant of the iso image being Windows or not, you can find lots of tutorials to do it through Windows [04:46] Muelli, excellent. [04:46] Muelli, but im on xfce [04:46] Koganei: it's not. [04:46] pete_: *shrug* then this might not work.. [04:46] k. let me try [04:47] losher: lots of trouble for a netbook =/ [04:47] administrator_: maybe emacs. Or vi.. People believe in either of them. [04:47] Muelli, that command does not work at all. [04:48] hittingpilot1: I'm not sure what you are asking then. You want to install Windows 7, after an ubuntu install, but you haven't attempted it that way yet, right? So do you want directions on how to do it, before you attempt it? Is that what you are after? [04:48] pete_: I'm sorry. I have no idea how to catch the keys in xfce. What window manager are they using actually? Isn't it metacity by chance? [04:48] Muelli, i need xbindkeys [04:48] installing it now [04:48] hittingpilot1: is always better install windows first and then anything else [04:49] Muelli, window manager, its xorg [04:49] Trent_: Just gathering information essentially yes, I am actually going try the install tomorrow [04:49] xangua, yea obviously windows doesn't play nice [04:49] oh, good to know pete_. And then you'll bing X86VolumeUp to pamixer --inc or something? [04:49] um not sure yet? [04:49] xangua: tried that, failed miserbly [04:49] xangua: twice [04:49] is much better don't use windows :-D [04:49] pete_: Nope, XOrg is the XServer. On top of that runs a window manager :-) F.e. GNOME ships Metacity [04:50] Muelli, unsure then [04:50] Anyone know how to recover from "sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Sense Key : Medium Error [current] [descriptor]" ? [04:50] xangua: Microsoft giving me license to beta test [04:50] hittingpilot1: I agree with what xangua is saying. normally best to do Windows first, if possible, then Linux after. Okay, given that you have already installed ubuntu, I recommend printing out the config I gave you just in case, and attempting the Windows install. [04:51] Mata: "Have you tried turning it off and on again?" SCNR [04:51] Anyone know how to config postfix to talk with mysql and send and get e-mail? [04:51] hittingpilot1: Then, start ubuntu, and edit your grub.conf, and add the config I mentioned [04:51] aaron: yes. [04:51] Trent_: copied the config to a .txt file in my flashdrive [04:51] hittingpilot1: But, I would recommend unplugging the ubuntu drive, just so windows won't overwrite it's MBR. [04:51] can someone please help me out ,. i was trying to disable pango in firefox and now firefox wont start take a look at this page to see what i did http://clipmarks.com/clipmark/977A1DE5-A921-49D9-96B1-1A726D7EE71F/ [04:51] Are there any free usenets out there? [04:52] hittingpilot1: That way you're sure ubuntu will at least boot, so you can fiddle with grub. [04:52] Muelli correct, I've tried from a USB Enclosure + Directly to a Sata cable same issue [04:52] webbb82: I don't think you can disable Pango. How else would you render fonts then? [04:52] Trent_:usually I just use my live USB [04:52] Window$ likes to overwrite MBR's, heh heh [04:52] hittingpilot1: That really should "just work" then, if you get the "(hdX,Y)" setting correct. [04:52] can you check out the link and see if anything i did would make it not start [04:52] Mata: Dunno the error but maybe your disk is broken :-| [04:52] midnightleutenan: for text only, I believe so. Google them... [04:52] midnightleutenan: there's a list in DMOZ IIRC. [04:52] hittingpilot1: live USB for booting? [04:53] /server kernel.dal.net [04:53] Muelli, Thanks [04:53] hittingpilot1: and for boot configs? [04:53] Muelli that's what I'm figuring as when mounting after bootup on a USB enclosures I'm getting read/write errors when trying to copy or remove content from the drive [04:53] Trent_:live usb for boot config changes [04:53] hittingpilot1: Oh, just for backup, just in case then? [04:54] Mata: :( Could it be too less power? [04:54] Trent_:yeah I am paranoid lol [04:54] hittingpilot1: That works. But yeah, it should go smoothly, if you get that hdX,Y setup correctly. [04:54] nah it wouldn't be the power [04:54] thanks again Muelli [04:54] can anyone help me figure out why a sound recording program us freezing on me? [04:54] Muelli, How do I get to that? [04:54] Hello. I am trying to figure out if I need a swap partition and how big it should be? [04:54] Trent_:thanks man, like I said I'm going to actually install tomorrow, I am too wiped out today [04:55] Mata I check the cable. [04:55] midnightleutenan: I'd google "dmoz usenet" or "dmoz nntp"... [04:55] Are there any speech recognition programs available for ubuntu? [04:55] Muelli: next step is to download the manufacturer's diagnostic disk & boot & run it... [04:55] Muelli, Thanks. I'll check out alltheweb [04:55] Marcham89: well.. Back in time people tend to have 2 times RAM. [04:55] whats the server room? [04:55] the server channel? [04:55] Muelli: That seems extremly large. Do I even need a swap partition? [04:55] ubuntu_server? === murilo is now known as eng_metal [04:55] Zoey, you have 2 programs running simultaneously that are conflicting with each other, probly [04:55] Marcham89: how much RAM do you have? [04:56] hittingpilot1: have fun with that. I hope you get it going. :D [04:56] Marcham89: maybe not :-) Depends on what you want. [04:56] losher: 6GB [04:56] Hi. [04:56] Marcham89: and do you need to suspend/resume? [04:56] Jumbalumba, that could be it... how would I tell what it is? [04:56] Marcham89: Swap is essentially RAM on a harddrive. You want to have that for hibernating. [04:56] Trent_: yeah I hope to get 4 os's on this old machine [04:56] losher: well yes I will. [04:56] hittingpilot1: Oh, what other things you installing? [04:56] All I know is isolate programs and only run one at a time [04:57] Marcham89: or for running memory hungry applications. like anything Javaish, Firefox, OOo, ... [04:57] Trent_: XP and openSUSE [04:57] hrm... [04:57] is there any alternate to http://www.rejetto.com/hfs/ http file server ??? I dont want to follow any large steps.. i just want a simple tool like this... help! [04:57] hello I have set up a directory for samba share with these parameters browseable = yes read only = no guest ok = yes chmod 775 but i cannot write to the directory from a windows machine whats wrong? [04:57] Marcham89: to suspend/resume, my understanding is you need at least as much swap as you have RAM, on its own swap partition... [04:57] losher: okay so I guess I need 12GB swap then... hmm okay not bad. My hdd can take it. [04:57] Muelli, Mind if I pm you? [04:57] so thank you losher and Muelli [04:57] 12g swap?! [04:57] krishna_: haven't clicked that link, but maybe SSHFS or WebDAV does the trick for your? [04:57] I have, like, 2, and it never ever gets used. [04:57] ZoeyMarie they said 2x ram [04:58] Muelli, got it working from a guide on xfce [04:58] hittingpilot1: Yeah, just take it one step at a time. Win XP should be the same grub config as Windows 7. That config basically tells grub that the partition in question has it's own boot loader, go use that one, and skip grub. === montel is now known as MontelEdwards [04:58] midnightleutenan: well, no problem for me, but the information might be good for other people as well :-) [04:58] Muelli, needed xbindkeys and some text [04:58] ok thanks guys [04:58] Muelli, plz see that link once.. is sshfs in synaptic ? [04:58] shrugs. whatever floats your boat. [04:58] bye :D [04:58] Muelli, what was that fiurst program you told me., [04:58] pete_: If it's not too much, feel free to paste it here :) [04:58] Marcham89: I think you should start with 6GB of RAM and monitor swap usage. You may never need more... [04:58] muelli hold ill msg you. [04:58] hittingpilot1: And, if I'm not mistaken, Windows usually installed boot loaders on the MBR and the partition you install on. [04:58] pete_: It's a GNOMEy tool to configure keybindings for the desktop :) Really handy [04:59] could someone help me with a graphics problem? [04:59] krishna_: to find out, do a apt-cache search [04:59] Trent_: yeah I noticed that, it's quite annoying [04:59] hittingpilot1: Gotta run, good luck. [04:59] Hi all. Why is this not changing the line? cat web2|sed 's/^*audioUrl=/wget /' [04:59] anyone? [04:59] !ask | linuxnewbie1000 [04:59] Trent_: thanks again [04:59] Muelli, with that Hfs in that link... just adding folder.. and then entering my ip in my friend's browser works.. is sshfs the same as this ?? [04:59] linuxnewbie1000: 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. :-) [04:59] ubottu: ok thanks [04:59] Sorry, I don't know anything about ok thanks [04:59] hittingpilot1: Yeah, it is annoying, you should be able to choose. But, alas, it's Windows.

I can't find anything on their site. [05:00] if there is no -support- then you're s.o.ol [05:01] Muelli, i installed sshfs from synaptic.. but its not in my applications list ? [05:01] I cannot enable desktop effects in ubuntu, they work fine in openSUSE but not ubuntu [05:01] krishna_: Well. It's a FUSE module.

[05:03] Good lord, I can't get nvidia drivers to work on MSI VR 630 [05:03] and ubuntu looks better than suse [05:03] elanteigne: rsync act as both client & server I think...

[05:04] Muelli, is there any as simple as that HFS rosette ? [05:04] is jaunty 9.04? [05:04] losher, so installing rsync also installs the daemon?

[05:04] would 8.04 work? [05:05] elanteigne: I don't know. You might want to ask http://packages.ubuntu.com for a package containing rsyncd [05:05] elanteigne: I believe so. Are you using it for file copying? [05:05] linuxnewbie1000: are you able to get into gnome at all? are you just unable to turn on effects? [05:05] linuxnewbie1000: yes. And 8.10 FWIW. And 9.10 :-) [05:05] yes gnome works fine [05:05] (on gnome now) [05:05] yes no effects [05:05] it searches for drivers and then says it cannot enable effects [05:05] elanteigne: read the man page for "rsyncd.conf" [05:06] so back to 8.10 should work? [05:06] Muelli,losher: i'm configuring BackupPC [05:06] linuxnewbie1000:maybe try a rollback, it works sometimes. [05:06] Hey can someone help me on this, I really need to get my ubuntu working on this crap machine [05:06] i successfully configured it for SMB for my windows boxes, now i'm learning linux clients. it says rsyncd is the preferred method.

[05:14] mido_, this is ubuntu support, try #slackware [05:14] linuxnuewnbie: The problem is with the loading drivers [05:14] Zermelo-Fraenkel: do a sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and select VESA driver. [05:15] linuxnewbie1000, intel regression is on Jaunty not INtrepid [05:15] Zermelo-Fraenkel yeah try that [05:15] !intel | linuxnewbie1000 [05:15] linuxnewbie1000: Ubuntu 9.04 has a known regression for some Intel graphics support. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/IntelPerformance and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582 for more information. [05:15] thnx for helping guyz [05:15] ok thanks bazhang [05:15] what the fuck is going on there? [05:15] protowox, watch the language [05:15] !language | protowox [05:15] protowox: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [05:16] Muelli: I have an AMD sempron [05:16] pussies around here [05:16] Muelli: Is there a special audacity place to file it? [05:16] what up guys any Michigan folk in here? [05:16] excuse me does anyone know why my xCHM cant display negative numbers? instead it just shows a box with 0090 in it [05:16] is there a kick option? [05:16] ZoeyMarie: nope, there should Apport pop up, collect informatino and stuff :-) [05:16] *hiss* Ohioan here. :P [05:16] pussies [05:16] lol [05:16] protowox, stop. last warning [05:16] mmm I use xchm, didn't know abou that [05:17] Zermelo-Fraenkel: nobody cares. Your card might just be broken... [05:17] ... ? gosh... I must really be a newb... Apport? [05:17] Muelli: No [05:17] thanks mneptok [05:17] Muelli: Stupid windows works just fine [05:17] its really annoying especialy if your reading a math heavy book [05:17] protowox, free speech is not allowed! [05:17] oh [05:17] ZoeyMarie: I'm sorry ;-) Didn't anything pop up after you did that pkill thing? :) [05:17] haha [05:17] mdgrech, check the michigan loco [05:17] !loco | mdgrech [05:17] mdgrech: Information on Ubuntu Local Community Teams is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoTeams [05:17] no we linux users just encourage "colourful" users to get a bigger vocabulary [05:18] cool cool. [05:18] glicks: Is it because I have chosen zermelo-fraenkel [05:18] Zermelo-Fraenkel: yeah it might, but that's not our primary mission :-) Just don't use the proprietary nvidia driver :P [05:18] ZoeyMarie: don't feel bad. I don't know what apport is either... [05:18] what's it mean when one of my CPU cores is stuck at 100% usage and no particular process or kernel thread is using more than 1% CPU? [05:18] im sorry Zermelo-Fraenkel ? [05:18] glicks: never mind [05:18] cellofellow: how do you know? [05:18] glicks: google it [05:18] I mean, it's just stuck at 100%. Not even flickering up and down. [05:18] Muelli: what is not the primary mission [05:18] Muelli: htop [05:19] losher, i dont get it [05:19] cellofellow | maybe try to see if there is any actual process eating it.... sudo ps -eo ppid,pid,pcpu,pmem,stime,comm > list [05:19] cellofellow: hm. maybe CPU frequency changing doesn't work, but it's rather unlikely. Maybe you miss a process in htop/ [05:19] cellofellow | then just look at that list [05:19] glicks: never mind. It's math. It's hard... [05:19] Zermelo-Fraenkel: to make it just work. The mission is to create a free Operating System. Free as in Speech, not in Beer. [05:20] When backports is enabled, is the system supposed to automatically install new packages? Or do I do that on my own? [05:20] anyone know why my xchm might not be able to display my math book correctly [05:20] mainly the negative signs [05:20] hello [05:20] Muelli: I don't have any probelem with free or paidm I just need get the damn thing to work [05:20] can someone help me get a gamepad working on Ubuntu 9.04? [05:20] Loafers: should install on their own, unless you have fiddled around with /etc/apt/preferences. To check, you can do a apt-cache policy on a backports package :) [05:20] willca: Muelli: not missing any processes. Nothing is hogging CPU, that core is just pegged at 100%. [05:21] glicks, there's a chm reader addon for firefox. [05:21] My cpufrequence scalling is on "ondemand" and it's running at full speed (1.8Ghz). [05:21] cellofellow: weird. check your dmesg. Maybe something in the Kernel is messed up. [05:21] cellofellow | what does sudo cat /proc/cpuinfo say about the speed [05:21] glicks: none of those proprietary format readers work 100% in my experience... [05:21] Zermelo-Fraenkel: Yeah, you apparently don't get it. It's not about paying. It's about freedom. [05:21] hmm ill check it out Loafers thanks [05:22] that won't say anything about the usage, will it, willca? [05:22] Muelli: I tried to do strace thingie, and it crashed my computer. haha... I might not have done it right, though... how do I do this apport thing... I've never done it before. :/ [05:22] glicks, there is gnochm and chmsee in the repos [05:22] had a hard shutdown earlier. all that looks amiss in dmesg is some ecryptfs errors but I get those often enough. [05:23] glicks: also kchmviewer [05:23] How well is Wine working nowadays? I want to use Ubuntu 100%, but I am also a major windows gamer (Lots of games on Steam) that would make me sad if I gave them up. [05:23] OK, easier question: Can someone tell me how to install from source files? [05:23] ZoeyMarie: oh, I'm sorry for your computer being crashed :-\ Actually, you don't do the apport thing yourself :) Ubuntu Magic makes it possible to retrieve information after a crash automatically. So you shuold just have to make your program crash, i.e. by doing a pkill -SEGV on the process. [05:23] MrSenator, depends, you should check the appdb for your preferred apps [05:24] Zermelo-Fraenkel: maybe you're approaching it from the wrong end. Google your hardware and see what people say runs well on it... [05:24] that can display negative signs properly [05:24] RegressLess: apt-get source $package [05:24] but its more difficult to jump around [05:24] AH! that works.... so I run audacity until it freezes (it doesn't really crash, just freezes up) and then, in terminal, run pkil -SEGV and it'll do it for me? [05:24] ZoeyMarie: yes :) [05:25] cool. thanks. [05:25] ZoeyMarie: at least it should :D [05:25] Muelli: No, I have the files. I just don't know what to do next [05:25] haha [05:25] RegressLess: dpkg-buildpackage I guess. [05:25] Muelli: I have backports checked in Software Sources and it just reloads the list and does nothing. I ran apt-cache policy and I got http://paste.ubuntu.com/273921/ What do I do? [05:26] hi, would anyone know where eclipse would save it's configuration ? [05:26] bazhang, my audio has worked fine on 8.04 since forever, i did an update today and now NO audio, any ideas? [05:26] Muelli: OK, say you have a folder named "qjoypad-4.0.0" on your desktop with all the files in it. What do you do? [05:26] MindSpark: I'm guessing it'll be a hidden folder in your Home Folder [05:27] SeaPhor|game, what version of ubuntu; you are using wine also? could you give some more info [05:27] Loafers: everything is fine :) You see that every repository has a priority of 500, thus backport packages get respected just as your normal repos :) [05:27] Loafers, that's where it should normally be, yes. But I can't find anything there [05:27] RegressLess: What *I* do? :D I do a ./configure --prefix=/opt/%USER/ && make && make install ;-) [05:27] Muelli: But why isn't it updating anything? My firefox is still the same version [05:27] bazhang, 8.04,,,,,, [05:27] ok xchm sucks [05:27] Loafers: what did you expect? To check where a package comes from, do a apt-cache policy $package [05:28] Coy === ime_imuet is now known as blackarents [05:28] are there any known configuration issues with GeForce GTX 275 video cards? [05:28] can someone please help me with xbindkeys ? [05:29] hey has anyone tried Empathy? [05:29] I'm f*cking lost [05:29] Muelli: I'm confused, I was under the assumption that if I had backports enabled it woudl automatically install new verions of apps like the way it does for security fixes [05:29] glicks: yeah [05:29] since they are replacing gimp with it next ubuntu release [05:29] Loafers, how is it, better than gimp? [05:29] i mean pidgin [05:29] glicks: they're almost the same thing [05:29] RegressLess, please watch the language [05:29] almost? [05:29] Loafers: nope. That means a little. Depends on who backports what. You might try prevu to backport yourself [05:29] whats the diff? [05:30] I thought I did [05:30] new stuff scares me [05:30] ive been using the gimp since as long as i can remimber [05:30] i mean pidgin [05:30] i keep saying gimp when i mean pidgin [05:30] glicks: i used pidgin 4ever also, and I didnt like empathy that much b/c it was lacking plugins [05:30] Hey anybody has experienced this problem http://start.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1009417 [05:31] Anyway, I don't know what I'm doing and I could really appreciate some help in laymenspeak regarding setting up qjoypad on my netbook [05:31] glicks: but ubuntu dev team wouldn't make it official chat client for ubuntu unless it was stable, funcitonal, and >= pidgin [05:31] does it have aplugin architecture [05:31] ? [05:31] can you write plugins for it [05:31] yeah i heard it supports video and voice chat nicely [05:31] Muelli: so what does clicking on the backptos checkbox do? Nothing? [05:32] Loafers: google for backports to understand the concept of a backport [05:32] Muelli: ok [05:32] or better, the idea [05:32] !backports | Muelli Loafers [05:32] Muelli Loafers: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports.

[05:35] MrSenator: eventvwr.exe is what? [05:35] MrSenator, have you tried using Wine to emulate [05:35] guyz ... i got this "signing key not in keyring" when i opend slackware-13.0-install-d3.iso.asc [05:35] wat should i do ? [05:35] bazhang, no,,,, its worked fine for years, worked 2 weeks ago, i went away, and came back, today- there were updates to install- installed, rebooted and no audio [05:35] Well, it wouldn't work. Event Viewer is essentially the logging system for windows. it shows you system and application errors in a fairly nice format [05:35] mido_, this is not the slackware support channel. please desist [05:35] Making it a bit easier to track down errors, etc. [05:35] Is there an equivalent of that in Ubuntu? [05:36] mido_, slackware sucks lol [05:36] mido_, /join #slackware [05:36] bazhang:but now Im on ubuntu [05:36] Muelli: Thanks.

[05:38] Can anyone help with problem for getting mouse to work, http://start.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1009417 [05:38] zaccour: it should auto update [05:38] if you have auto uppdates enabled [05:39] ./conf* [05:39] !debconf [05:39] debconf is a configuration management system. All packages that support debconf are configured when they are being installed. If you want to change a configuration option later, you can do so using dpkg-reconfigure [05:39] My friend at work said that my other friend at work was unprofessional because he used caps in an email. He said "PLEASE DO NOT RUN THESCRIPT.SH" in blue letters and then explained why the script is broken currently. Do you think my friend is right? I thought it was an alright email [05:39] I am restarting into new kernel soon, hope intel drivers work now :D [05:39] Hi there, I need to go away tomorrow and I need to have my laptop be able to play dvds.

I needed to use .* not just * [05:40] RDove: I don't think he is unproffesional as if running that script would break something, then in caps or bigger font is very proffesioanl [05:40] Bookman: install vlc [05:40] bazhang: I'll say it again: Noob.

[05:42] ZoeyMarie: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and comment the ones you don't want out [05:42] I don't even know how they got there! haha. I just wanted to dual boot between ubuntu/studio (I don't even know what my flavor is) and windows! haha. [05:42] Loafers how do I comment them out? [05:43] and how do I know which ones I don't want? What is the difference between the kernals, and how'd I get them? [05:43] bazhang: where do I type ./config? [05:44] Hi! I have two computers that connects to the internet by my ubuntu machine. In the network of these two windows pc's i can see the ubuntu machine, but on ubuntu i see the machines, but cant access the files. I use a hub to share the connection and the "samba".

[05:45] i have to delete a file with permissions whats the del command in terminal [05:45] RegressLess, the package is on your desktop? [05:45] dsnyders: where is it getting the previous entries from? and is the top one the one I want? (why do I have 3 different kernels though?) [05:45] burntresistor, rm -rf [05:45] bazhang: yes [05:46] thanks [05:46] no [05:46] np [05:46] BeWop: hwinfo tells you (amongst others) [05:46] Thanks [05:46] RegressLess, when you type ls in the terminal do you see Desktop ?

[05:48] cellofellow, thought it was mostly for audio recording and such [05:49] ZoeyMarie, if you change the line to howmany=2 and run update-grub then grub will only list the latest two kernels.

I had to do some searching though, because my file was in /etc. [05:57] ZoeyMarie, if you are just starting the program off of the menu, then it is done under your login, not as root.

May I ask what command you need to run? [06:04] losher: that's what that means then? It's just one of the Great Mysteries of Ubuntu? [06:05] what command to use mkfs? [06:05] what changed in the boot process of 9.04? i cant find out anywhere [06:05] did they change the init ssystem or what? [06:05] i was using Gparted but dont know why this not success [06:05] gemilang, mkfs is the linux format command. [06:05] how do I run a program that is not in /usr/bin at startup ??? [06:06] and one that is.. btw [06:06] help plz. I changed a seating in ccsm and my graphics card couldnt handle it so my screen went werid. i cant open ccsm because the graphics are messing up is there away to put these setting to defalt or turn graphics too none [06:06] losher: Just guessing does "rc.local" stand for root command local? If it does gthewn that would make it simple to remember this in the future. [06:06] Hi again everyone [06:06] sudo mkfs? in terminal editor [06:06] soreau: hey btw everyhting is working now but i messed something up can you help me [06:06] midnightleutenan, arrr matey [06:06] Hello, I'm having issues installing the ATI Proprietary Linux Driver-8.28.8. I get the following message: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m694ec0e6 [06:06] gemilang, yes, followed by the partition that you wish to format. [06:06] randal: People won't help you just because you repeat yourself. [06:06] how can i update whatever it is i need to in order to show up to date blkid info? [06:07] xmnt, Arrr [06:07] dont worry, it wont hurt much [06:07] randal: Try metacity --replace& in terminal. [06:07] randal: Just ask the channel and maybe someone can help you [06:07] how is everyone this fine night [06:07] bazhang: I tried what you said and it didn't work--probably my fault. Now I've lost the conversation because I unplugged my netbook with the battery out (oops) [06:07] randal [06:07] woops [06:07] hi randal [06:07] Korlis, tis plenty nice [06:08] Hello, I'm having issues installing the ATI Proprietary Linux Driver-8.28.8. I get the following message: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m694ec0e6 [06:08] Apollo2366: I'm not sure what it means. It's been there since february, it's status is 'new' and its importance is 'undecided'. Apparently it doesn't prevent networking (which would be a showstopper), presumably it just degrades performance. I don't see you have any choice except to live with it or change os/version and hope it improves... [06:08] xmnt = xenophobic mutant ninja teen? [06:09] Korlis, gentleman pirate [06:09] losher: Well I wouldn't be complaining about it, but I think it might have something to do with the "Connection Reset" errors I'm getting in FF. Mainly facebook's /home.php [06:09] bazhang: this is where I'm at ---> mike@ninjubuntu:~/Desktop$ [06:09] whats the best way to run programs on startup !? [06:10] BeWop | did you run this while inside an X session? [06:10] Apollo2366: I notice it's logged against 8.10. Is that what you're running? [06:10] Nope [06:10] pete_, you need to add an entry to /etc/rc.local [06:10] pete_: Have you tried System>Preferences>Startup Applications? [06:10] willca | The page says that there's some kind of setup [06:10] thanks both, ill use snyders approach [06:10] willca | http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/linux_8.24.8.html#176980 [06:10] losher: nope, Jaunty. The symptoms match perfectly though. [06:11] @dsnyders, gemilang@gemilang-desktop:~$ sudo mkfs [sudo] password for gemilang: Usage: mkfs [-V] [-t fstype] [fs-options] device [size]gemilang@gemilang-desktop:~$ [06:11] pete_: under administration there is an option called services, from there you can choose what starts up [06:11] Ubuntu didn't just make a basic x86_64 iso? All I see is an AMD64 iso, so what about Intel 64? [06:11] BeWop | ok this binary...you need to do this while in an X session [06:11] and what to do? [06:11] Xgates: same difference [06:11] pete_: nvm i guess, i type slow [06:11] hey does anyone know how i can open ccsm in terminal [06:11] BeWop | i had an ati radeon mobilexpress before and thats how i used to do it, within my fluxbox session [06:11] willca | so go to the recovery thingy, and then type the command in? [06:12] randal: "ccsm" then press enter [06:12] BeWop | no just boot normally and go to your desktop or windowmanager whichever you use [06:12] willca: I'll come back if that doesn't work =P [06:12] zenlunatic: unless sorce code has changed over the last few years it's not the same, there are AMD flags and Intel flags that can be compiled into source SPECFIC to that Arch... [06:12] then run it again in a terminal [06:12] willca: wait, so [06:12] xmnt: gentleman pirate? [06:12] Apollo2366: if i do that in failsafe terminal will that effect my normall season [06:12] willca: the X Server is just the display, right? [06:12] willca: I'm in a gui [06:12] xmnt: is that like a pirate stripper? [06:12] BeWop | yes and no. Good you are in a gui [06:12] Apollo2366: scary. Try an 8.04 live cd and downgrade if the problem goes away? Dunno what else to suggest... [06:13] BeWop | just run it now as root inside a terminal [06:13] willca: that was in a root terminal [06:13] how can I make my icons more organized? sometimes they overlap each other... [06:13] BeWop | use sudo [06:13] dsnyders, would something like /home/pete/xboxdrv work in rc.local [06:13] BeWop | root does not run X for itself thats why that pops up normally, as far as my recollection of it goes [06:13] losher: I'll probably just wait it out, facebook was working fine until today. Maybe it's server-side. If it continues though, I might do that. [06:13] willca: Alright, hold on [06:14] Apollo2366: sounds reasonable. Good luck... [06:14] can anyone help me figure out how to install this app? [06:14] Apollo2366: my wife uses face book and always has problems === kbrosnan_ is now known as kbrosnan [06:14] losher: Think I should repost in #networking? See if they can figure it out? Korlis: Other than the normal glitches? [06:14] is it possible to put something in .bashrc so that when i type 'stuff' it replaces it with the text 'hello world 23'? [06:14] soreau: hey i have a question how can i log into my account with the graphics turned off [06:15] pete_, I think so. You may have to do a bit of googling to get the exact syntax [06:15] willca: I did that, didn't work. Here's the entirety of what I did [06:15] SilentJonathan: alias stuff='hello world 23' [06:15] if i want to install a command-line only sysetm, do i use alternate cd or the normal cd? [06:15] Apollo2366: nothing to lose. The worst that can happen is you'll be ignored... [06:15] Apollo2366: yeah, sometimes her restaurant city wont load, or FF can't contact the server, or it will just remain on a white page when she navigates to it [06:15] willca: http://bradyn.pastebin.ca/1571544 [06:15] k [06:15] dsnyders, will do [06:15] I just installed ubuntu latest version. [06:16] I would like to install sun java 5 [06:16] randal, try a console typing "alt-f1", or do you want to completely turn off graphics mode? [06:16] this is well documented harpal, go on google and dont be lazy [06:16] I cant find any sun-java5 in apt-get to install [06:16] my sound isnt as high as it should be, i checked in volume control everything is all the way up, but its like my sound only works half way and on up like there isnt really "low" volume settings [06:16] boy someone needs to get with Ubuntu development and clue them in, to be technically correct you don't call something in linux AMD64 UNLESS it''s ONLY for AMD, otherwise it's suppose to be x86_64 [06:16] echosystm: I could be wrong but I think you will need to install ubuntu server in order to install a command-line only system. [06:16] BeWop | that is just weird...do this...what desktop you running? gnome / kubuntu / xubuntu or something else? [06:16] Korlis: I get those sometimes. I think that's just Facebook being written mainly for windows/IE. [06:16] Apollo2366: i assume its a facebook problem [06:16] no, you can install cli only from a normal one [06:16] Apollo2366: yeah [06:17] it used to be the alt cd, but from memory it may have changed [06:17] willca: The standard ubuntu desktop, so gnome. I don't have effects turned on or anything, but I don't think that'd make much of a difference [06:17] echosystm | if you have the minimal install iso you can enter "cli" upon initial boot and then setup the CLI system that way [06:17] mezquitale: i changed a setting in ccsm that Messed up my graphics i need to turn graphics off so i can fix this setting i changed [06:17] I want this program, but I don't know how to install it: http://qjoypad.sourceforge.net/#download [06:17] echosystm, why would you want to install a command line only mode distribution?? most distributions can actually work only on command mode but you must have a reason why you only want command line only [06:17] dsnyders, it appears, something like /home/pete/xboxdrv/xboxdrv -- silent will work? [06:17] BeWop | sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart and then try it again [06:17] what is the minimal install iso willca ? [06:17] arr, facebook not be written soley for ye IE, i works with some of the developers ... tis be due to ajax and server scalability issues [06:17] --silent that is. [06:17] willca: alright, brb [06:18] echosystm | its just a small ISO without any desktop or something like that....its basically what you want to use if you dont want the prepared regular ISOs for ubuntu with all the bells and whistles [06:18] Xgates: "amd64" is the generic name for the 64-bit extensions to x86, since AMD invented them and then Intel started making amd64 clones. people have moved towards x86-64 as the generic since then, but amd64 is still used in some places and perfectly correct. [06:18] Apollo2366: and the majority of facebook users make it apparent who the service is aimed at imho [06:18] Cyrano_De, when i type it, it only gets the first part because it thinks its a command [06:18] QUIT [06:18] I'm trying to figure out these instructions: http://www.steve-oh.com/blog/index.php/2009/03/12/ubuntu-vista-dual-boot-full-encryption-with-truecrypt/ could anyone help me with them? [06:18] Apollo2366: i had a hard enough time signing up for myspace, youd never get me near facebook [06:18] mezquitale: any ideas how i can turn of thegraphics [06:18] dsnyders, can I use sudo before that? [06:19] anyway, I just upgraded to karmic, and now oem-config is running at *every boot wtf*. anyone know how to make it stop that? [06:19] what i am trying to do is specifiy some list of options instead of manually typing them in? or would a bash script be more suitable [06:19] pete_, I'm not sure. All I know is that's where you'd put it. [06:19] Korlis, Apollo2366 see me above messages ... tis be the result of other issues [06:19] dsnyders, oh rc.local runs as root.. [06:19] what's the md5sum of Ubuntu 9.04 ? [06:20] randal, yes, i havent done it in a long while, you have to switch modes, im just trying to figure out why ccsm would mess up your drivers, if your drivers are working fine I suggest you work on ccsm first, but to answer your question, you need to change modes first [06:20] does anyone know how to turn graphics off before you log in to fix a problem [06:20] dsnyders, is there a way to now run rc.local to see if it works? [06:20] SilentJonathan: sorry dropped the echo alias stuff='echo hello world 23' [06:20] i got 3afa8bca40ba8be72ace97e1cdb5256c [06:20] mezquitale: ok [06:20] pete_, I think you can do ./etc/rc.local [06:20] can anyone please help me figure out these instructions? [06:21] how can I make my icons more organized? sometimes they overlap each other... [06:21] Can someone help the village idiot? I've got the qjoypad package on my desktop and don't know how to install it. [06:21] SilentJonathan: I like to export ENV variables and refrenece them. [06:21] willca: That did not work either, same error [06:21] what happand i enable a effect on accadent and my graphics couldnt handle that one and it stoped working i need to change these setting back to defalt or turn graphics off any ideas how i can do this thanks. [06:21] pete_, You may need to sudo it if the command needs to be root. [06:21] xmnt: oh well, i dont really care, i hate facebook, i hope their servers get overloaded and it creates a domino effect like when gmail went down [06:21] dsnyders, rc.local runs as root [06:21] supposedly. [06:21] mezquitale: what happand i enable a effect on accadent and my graphics couldnt handle that one and it stoped working i need to change these setting back to defalt or turn graphics off any ideas how i can do this thanks [06:21] It takes a village to help an idiot [06:22] pete_, At startup it runs as root. If you're launching it manually, it runs at whatever user level you are. [06:22] xmnt: are you talking about my HTTP/TCP checksum problems, specifically, or just the normal facebook glitches? [06:22] dsnyders, so use sudo before the cmds. [06:22] RegressLess1: what format is the qjoypad package in [06:22] Korlis, they be experiencing issues at the moment .. the sight be slow as a ship in the windless caribbean [06:22] willca: any other ideas? [06:22] SilentJonathan: For working with the vSphere sdk I do "export VMEAST=https://virtualcenterserver/sdk/vimService" Then every script I run I give it that variable as the option. Ex. dsBrowse.pl --url $VMEAST [06:22] mezquitale: so how do i switch modes [06:23] can anyone please help me figure out these instructions? [06:23] BeWop | k forget that binary...try using envyng | so sudo apt-get install envyng i think [06:23] xmnt: huzzah! let us all board her ports and help her along! [06:23] Korlis: format? it was in a tar.gz and I extracted it [06:23] guyscan someone please help me with themes for gnome? or point me to a tutorial. thx i want to know how to install them [06:23] SilentJonathan: That might be a better option than an alias. [06:23] pete_, It should be sudo /etc/rc.local to run it manually [06:23] randal, try reconfiguring your video drivers, press CTRL-ALT-F1, login, and type sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [06:24] http://www.steve-oh.com/blog/index.php/2009/03/12/ubuntu-vista-dual-boot-full-encryption-with-truecrypt/ [06:24] BeWop | basically once you got envyng in there, just execute it and uninstall ATI first and then reinstall [06:24] willca: That's the wrong program name [06:24] mezquitale: tanks give me 2 sec [06:24] thanks [06:24] RegressLess1: you probably just need to cd to it in a terminal and compile it just open up a terminal cd to the directory of the package and type make then sudo make install [06:24] willca: And I can't uninstall ATI because there isn't any ati on there now, It's just running on ubuntu's default [06:24] xmnt : Well that's good to know. No clue about the incorrect packet checksums though? [06:24] k [06:24] dsnyders, ok, that worked. but it booted in to my first program on the list and did not run the second? [06:25] BeWop | i was assuming you have some sort of one in there [06:25] Apollo2366, i red up on ye problems above and see ye full conversations of the issues [06:25] BeWop | here is a read up on it http://www.brendansheehy.com/blog/?tag=envyng [06:25] willca: Nope, fresh install [06:25] willca: mmk [06:25] ok thanks Cyrano_De worked a treat [06:25] !themes [06:25] Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy [06:25] willca: With updates, but you know =P [06:25] i believe i will be going ot bed now, im bored, im going to eat and read [06:25] see you all later [06:25] hello, I am using xmonad+gnome and playing urban terror. Every now and them(im pretty sure its due to a keystroke) urban terror will just go into a tile and I will lose mouse control. Sometimes it will go back sometimes it wont [06:25] help? [06:25] thx ubottu [06:25] Korlis : G'night/ [06:26] night [06:26] BeWop1 | k i cant try and search it with apt-get because I am on slackware now....so do a sudo apt-cache search envyng [06:26] Beastmode: the best theme is colors - http://code.google.com/p/gnome-colors/ [06:26] BeWop1 | i think its sudo apt-get install envyng-core [06:26] Apollo2366, nighty night ye we pirate [06:26] willca: there we go [06:26] aye aye captain¿¿ xmmt [06:26] xmnt : I'm not going to bed, Korlis is. I was saying good night to him. [06:26] maheshjr2000, are you using compiz in gnome? [06:27] not sure [06:27] how do I check? [06:27] im not using any of the advance [06:27] d [06:27] maheshjr2000: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:27] willca: And just a funny thing "ATI Driver Support In Ubuntu: The Most Annoying Thing Since Broadcom Wireless" I have both. Figures [06:27] xangua thx for link looking at it now [06:27] maheshjr2000, so youre not using any visual effects? [06:27] Apollo2366, aye the sails not be set yet for you [06:27] willca: So, what do I do with envyng now? [06:27] let me double check [06:27] does anyone know how to get a webcam mic working on ubuntu? [06:28] yep visual effects is set to none [06:28] am I going to have to go back to metacity :( [06:28] the webcam works fine just no mic [06:28] when i use gnome recorder, i just get static [06:28] what does this mean: [06:28] 2) Installed Ubuntu second using encrypted physical volume with LVM inside it and 2 partions / and swap inside the LVM(at this point, grub was in the MBR) [06:28] my sound isnt as high as it should be, i checked in volume control everything is all the way up, but its like my sound only works half way and on up like there isnt really "low" volume settings [06:28] and when i change the capture device to my webcame ALSA the microphone is always muted, even if i unmute it, if i open it again, its muted again [06:28] what is this opposed to do [06:28] dsnyders, ? [06:28] what is the package for "Hardware Drivers" named?? [06:29] mezquitale: what is this opposed to do [06:29] the "and 2 partions / and swap inside the LVM" part [06:29] maheshjr2000, that is the only issue I have encountered with UrT with ubuntu, with extra visual effects weird things would happen while playing the game so I turned it off [06:29] im 99 percent sure this is due to xmonad [06:29] but I dont want to stop using it so I was wondering if there is a workaround XD [06:29] guys, how can i upgrade linux kernel to 2.6.31 on ubuntu 9.04? [06:30] randal, it's supposed to reconfigure your video drivers and resolution and shouldnt use compiz or extra visual effects [06:30] bahodir: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.31/ [06:30] can anyone help! [06:30] xangua: thank you [06:30] maheshjr2000, only one way to figure it out, try disabling it and see what happens, didnt like that either but that's how I fixed UrT, I disabled what UrT didnt like [06:31] mezquitale: its doing nothing [06:31] hi i am using ubuntu 9.04 i have a problem with usb transfer it is really slow 700 KB/sec [06:31] mezquitale: how do i do this i did everyhing now it brought me back to typeing codes what do i do now\ [06:31] should i just install it? won't i have any problems? [06:31] randal, went into a virtual console and reconfigured your xserver? [06:32] yes i think it reconfigured it idk [06:32] what can i do? [06:32] mezquitale: yes i think it reconfigured it [06:32] randal, ok so you typed "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" and now youre stuck in text mode?? [06:32] i have ubuntu 9.04 usb transfer getting really slow === light is now known as Guest63842 [06:33] !changethemes [06:33] To change gnome themes: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy. Kubuntu themes: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CustomizeKubuntu. Xubuntu users should /msg ubottu xfce-themes [06:33] after i went throught some consoul thing\ [06:33] anyone know? [06:33] i have a logiteck pro 9000 [06:33] anyone know how what? [06:33] !ask| glicks [06:33] glicks: 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. :-) [06:33] and when i change the capture device to my webcame ALSA the microphone is always muted, even if i unmute it, if i open it again, its muted again [06:33] when i use gnome recorder, i just get static [06:34] now what do i do [06:34] can someone help me with an rc.local question ?? [06:34] mezquitale: now what do i do [06:34] glicks, try going into a command line and use "alsamixer" to raise the volume in your mic [06:34] pete_: ask the actual question to the channel and see... [06:34] randal, so youre basically telling me that youre stuck in text mode? I do not know what you are seeing, I need to know what you are seeing, reboot your machine first though [06:35] Dr_Willis, let me get pastebin [06:35] Korlis: I can't make it go to that directory [06:35] mez [06:35] how can i tell if i need gnome theme or kubunut or xubuntu? sorry i dont even know the difference in the 3, thanks [06:35] is it possible to get your monitor to a higher resolution than it says it can handle... [06:35] mezquitale, it seems that the programs are having trouble opening the device [06:35] anyone knows how to solve slow usb transfers with ubuntu jaunty? [06:36] i bought this webcam because i read that it worked well with linux [06:36] mezquitale: im trying this agian i see the cousoul its asking me if i want to use kernal framebuffer device interface [06:36] Dr_Willis, http://pastebin.org/18817 [06:36] its not loading xbindkeys. but the first one runs [06:36] Beastmode, what you "need" depends on personal taste or on the speed of your machine. If you want you rmachine to be fast, try xubuntu, if you have a fast machine and want eye candy try kubuntu, if you want somewhere in between try gnome [06:36] mezquitale: do i click yes or no [06:37] pete_: You normally dont run 'X' commands from Rc.local - its for system type commands. Not user/X commands. [06:37] Dr_Willis, ok, where do i start those from then on boot. [06:37] ? [06:37] from the users auto start stuff - is one way. [06:37] !autostart [06:37] To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot [06:37] im using xfce [06:37] randal, most of the answers should be safe to just click yes [06:37] is there a text file i prefer command line. [06:38] mezquitale, so they all will be compatible with my machine though right? just one might be more eye candy but will slow down the machine? [06:38] pete_: then i suggest reading the xfce docs and see how they do auto-starting of such things. [06:38] hi is it normal an usb2 transfer at 700KB/s? [06:38] mez now it asks me a ton of questions about my keyboard? [06:38] Dr_Willis, alright thanks, im going to leave the one that works in there though [06:38] rjb: to a flash drive ? or external USb HD? or what. [06:38] mezquitale: now it asks me a ton of questions about my keyboard? [06:38] Dr_Willis: flash drive [06:38] Beastmode, you can choose whichever you want to use when you first login, just beware that whatever you install last that is the theme you will see when booting up but not exactly what youll be using by default === k is now known as Guest842 [06:38] rjb: seems a tad slow. but some flash drives (the cheap ones) can be a lot slower then others. [06:39] hi [06:39] i get this when i run apt-get update http://paste.ubuntu.com/273937/ [06:39] randal, DONT let me detect your monitor, everything just click enter [06:39] rjb: i was thinking i see about 4MB/sec here on mine.. vs the 16+MB/sec on a extarnal usb hard drive. [06:39] so, I keep seeing hints online that my 915M chipset can be made to perform acceptably, but can't seem to find any consistent recommendations on HOW... suggestions?

[06:55] !lamp [06:55] LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [06:55] is there a way for conky to be like the gnome panel, a space where windows cannot go over? That would be nice so I can see my conky all the time [06:55] i have a netbook, a dell mini 10 and want to know if i can put ubuntu on it, it comes with XP and I want to partition without killing the XP (just in case) and install ubuntu [06:55] mezquitale: well thanks for helping me ill just reinstall my netbook :) [06:55] mezquitale: To be clear---I am trying to log in as root with my password, which is not working (I think this is expected). The sys-admin is trying with the public key, but cannot for some reason. Do you know how to generate such a key? I don't know what error he is getting [06:56] Does anyone know how to access a windows share in Ubuntu? [06:56] randal, the problem is you are going to be having the same problem yet again [06:56] mezquitale: why would i. I just wont turn that seting i turned on [06:56] randal, I did not know you had a netbook you have to be specific with your questions, sorry I didnt ask what type of device you had [06:56] !samba | guest8458712 [06:56] guest8458712: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

[06:58] mezquitale: sure, do you know by any chance how I can generate a public-private key pair such that one will go in authorized_keys ? Usually, my public keys are binaries [06:58] randal, it matters a lot and with a netbook I can tell you for surely you will have problems because it's a new technology, forums might help and this chat will help a lot as well, you just have to be specific and if youre lucky someone that knows the answer to your question will hopefuly log in at the same time [06:58] Hello, I'm having a problem installing my ATI Radeon IGP 9200 driver, here's the things I've done. It's not working. Any help would be nice. http://bradyn.pastebin.ca/1571566 [06:59] BeWop: ye should purchase NVIDIA, yaarrhh [06:59] randal, because you told me you will reinstall ubuntu on your netbook today yet again [06:59] randal: which netbook? [06:59] phix: I'm on a laptop, and I'm way too poor =P [06:59] yarrhh [06:59] mezquitale: asus eeepc 1008ha === Guest12471 is now known as dvz- [06:59] mezquitale: i know why it crashed like this and i reinstalle dit for other reasons this is the first time for this problem [07:00] BeWop: NVIDIA all the way, remember that for your next puchase :) [07:00] ATI still has buggy drivers [07:00] no [07:00] i use windows 7 [07:00] phix: nVidia's are hardly bug-free [07:00] drivers are great [07:00] phix: I know. This laptop was a gift. Either way, I would like to know how to get the drivers working. [07:00] mneptok: compared to ATI it is :) [07:00] BeWop: did you look in the Hardware Drivers app? [07:00] randal, we already tried what I usually try and it usually works, what you want to do is to search in google for asus eepc 1008ha and to configure "xorg.conf", that file should be in "/etc/X11/" [07:00] mezquitale: it crashed like this because i enabled motion blur and the netbook didnt like it [07:01] randal: do not use Compiz on a netbook [07:01] mneptok: Yeah, all that was there were broadcom drivers (Which did help, but that's besides the point) [07:01] BeWop: sudo apt-get install the ATI drivers, if that doesn't work then look at your xorg log files [07:01] mezquitale: ya ill do that thanks for the help :0 [07:01] BeWop: See what the error is [07:01] mezquitale: ") [07:01] yarh [07:01] BeWop: and which ATI chipset? [07:01] mezquitale: LMAO i cant type sorry [07:01] phix: what command is the ati drivers? [07:02] mneptok: ATI Radeon IGP 9200 [07:02] Dr_Willis, would you happen to know how to reconfigure your xserver after it hosed your distro by turning on compiz features? [07:02] randal, no problem [07:02] !info fglrx [07:02] Package fglrx does not exist in jaunty [07:02] BeWop: use synaptic package manager and have a look :) search for it [07:02] poi77, what type of encryption are you using? are you using rsa??? [07:03] phix: K, hold on [07:03] BeWop: I think it is called catilyst or somethingl ike that [07:03] phix: Yeah, it is [07:03] i got to say..... when its oct 2010 ubuntu 10.10 will sound funny [07:03] phix: It's not in synaptic. [07:03] mezquitale: dss/dsa [07:03] phix: it's a closed source driver, and even using envyNG didn't work [07:03] mezquitale: i tend to use the fusion-icon tool to enable/disble compiz. Not sure how ya trn it off from the command line. ask in #compiz perhaps [07:04] then if it gets to the 10th version of its kernal.... 10.10 -10 [07:04] mezquitale: the X server dosent turn on compiz your windowmanager/desktop does. [07:04] BeWop: there is no binary driver for the 9200 [07:04] excuse me, has anyone else had any problems getting their logitech quickcam pro 9000 microphone working? i can see it under sound mixer but i cant unmute the microphone [07:04] BeWop: you need to use the drivers that install by default with Ubuntu [07:04] Dr_Willis, what is your opinion, rsa or dsa encryption??? [07:04] mneptok: I am currently, and glxgears runs at 570. [07:05] mezquitale: dsa is more secure, is it not? [07:05] mezquitale: i tend to use the defaults. :) since it dosent matter much to me. [07:05] BeWop: you'll have to live with it. ATI does not supply 3D-capable binary drivers for the 9200 under Linux. [07:05] poi77, you have it right, you know how to configure the keys, the question is why youre unable to login?? You can tell what is goign on by attempting to log in using verbose mode [07:06] mneptok: http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/linux_8.8.25.html [07:06] mneptok: yes they do [07:06] Trent_, i believe rsa is more secure, from what I have read, I personally use rsa without a password, i didnt configure a passphrase [07:06] hey guys, for some reason mysql is taking up 100% of one of my cores but isn't using anything from the others. This is 64bit mysql 5.1 any ideas why this would happen? [07:06] is there a way to change the sizes of the icons in the gnome menu? [07:06] what will happen if i uninstall pulseaudio?

[07:09] !help | kamlesh [07:09] kamlesh: 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. :-) [07:09] Mo: or the res is to 'LOW' so the fonts are all blocky/too big. [07:09] no the default is to low, so I can only see a portion of the screen [07:09] I only see the upper left quadrant [07:09] i want setup a domain under ubuntu 9.04 desktop edition [07:09] mneptok: Well, dangit. "The 'fglrx' driver does not support cards earlier than the 9500. " [07:09] how can i know if my flash drive is mounted as usb2 or usb1.1? [07:09] BeWop: as i said ... :) [07:09] when I change it to 1024x768, I can see the rest of the desktop and its fine [07:09] the issue is that is resets upon login [07:10] mneptok: well, I'll just have to switch to windows for games then... [07:10] i.e. I can't make this res permanent [07:10] do you want to log on to a domain or do you want to have your ubuntu server be a domain server or...? [07:10] BeWop: i'd suggest you switch to a console for games :) [07:10] Mo: So specifically - the Login screen has the incorrect resolution. You can Set it on a per user basis? or does it rember the users settings also? [07:10] * mneptok hugs his PS3 [07:10] guys who can tell me Crunchbang's system requirements? [07:10] mneptok: I'm a poor dude =P [07:10] how to write "scp myfile user@host:/home/me/" with ftp protocol ? [07:10] Reactor: maybe #crunchbang? [07:10] i can not able to configure a domain controller under ubuntu [07:10] Reactor: aboyut the same as ubuntu, only proberly a little less... [07:11] I only have 1 user, so that's a non-issue (for me) it's just every time I login I have to change the Res to the useable one [07:11] BeWop: PS2? [07:11] mnep [07:11] mneptok: thx [07:11] mneptok: Emulated GBA and PSX. Oh, and a wii =P [07:11] it doesn't 'remember' the Resolution [07:11] Mo: you have to change the Users res.. once the user logs in - you mean? [07:11] mneptok: The emulators were failing miserably though, that's the main thing I was trying to fix [07:11] Mo: Do you have a nVidia or other card? [07:11] maxagaz, why would you want to use ftp??? scp is more secure than ftp, why would you want to go back to ftp? [07:11] yes once I login, the resolution is "wrong," so I change it, which is fine.. when I logout and come back, it's "Wrong a agin [07:12] mneptok: I wanna get my freaking mario tennis on, dangit =P [07:12] BeWop: sudo apt-get install wesnoth-all [07:12] which files should i edit for domain setup [07:12] it's a useless netbook - it has integrated video I believe [07:12] mneptok: Tremulous is better XD [07:12] mezquitale, i need to use a ftp server which is not mine [07:12] BeWop: only 2D needed for Wesnoth [07:12] kamlesh: I'm sorry... I just want to understand. Are you trying to have you Ubuntu Desktop be the domain controller or are you trying to add you desktop to a domain controller? [07:12] your* [07:12] maxagaz, i see, sorry but I only use scp LoL [07:13] Mo: Do you have a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file? [07:13] Mo: if its a netbook with intel video. You might have to update your Intel drivers. [07:13] mneptok: I can play tremulous no problem, along with neverball, which is what confuses me. I can't emulate a freaking GBA or PSX without it running at 70%, but I can play tremulous. [07:13] Mo, the easiest solution would be to edit your xorg.conf file, as AJC_Z0 mentioned [07:13] !intel | Mo [07:13] Mo: Ubuntu 9.04 has a known regression for some Intel graphics support. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/IntelPerformance and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582 for more information. [07:13] BeWop: Tennix? [07:13] yes I believe I've been to that file before/// Dr. Willis - ok that's interesting [07:13] no,,, i want to make my ubuntu 9.04 desktop as a domain controller which i can assign to my client computers [07:13] mneptok: Never played it [07:13] I mean, I'm just suspicious it's not that serious since I can change it and its fine [07:14] it's just that it won't remember the setting [07:14] I could just never logoff (close the clamshell for hibernate) and it'd be ok I suppose [07:14] BeWop: it's in the package system [07:14] mezquitale: Many thanks for your help. This gave me direction on how to resolve the problem. [07:14] can u give me the script for creating a domain under ubuntu [07:14] Mo: or just use the proper xrandr command to set teh proper res at login.....

Well, I guess I'll switch to windows and get my SOTN on =P [07:15] !info xrandr [07:15] Package xrandr does not exist in jaunty [07:15] poi77, in between you might want to use rsa encryption, I use rsa encryption but I'm too lazy to use a passphrase though [07:15] I would suggest removing (or renaming while testing) xorg.conf and see if X automagically gets it right [07:15] xrandr was giving me issues [07:15] kamlesh: There are several other methods as well. https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/index.html should help you out. Though you are not using the server version all of the packages are available for the desktop, but may not include GUI's [07:15] Mo: then that may be the whole issue... [07:16] Mo: might be a good idea to upgrade the intel drivers.. or do whatver you want. :) [07:16] can you send me the original config file for domain setup [07:16] ok... to be fair I'm rather confused by now... I've been doing this for hours... I can't tell the difference anynmomore [07:17] Mo: and you really need to figure out WhAT the exact video chipset is.

[07:26] !ask| glick [07:26] glick: 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. :-) [07:27] still cant get my QuickCam pro 9000 mic to work, it still shows up as mute. cant use it in sound recorder or audacity [07:28] audacity says it cant open the device [07:28] i disabled pulse audio [07:28] still no go [07:29] Hi all, installing a pidgin plugin and it gives me a dpendency issue "Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libjson-glib-1.0-0 (>= 0.7.6)" Suggestions? [07:29] Is there a way to re-brand Shiretoko as Firefox 3.5? [07:29] Helllloooo [07:29] I can't seem to get SSH tunneling to work. [07:30] glick, what ubuntu version youre using??? [07:30] mezquitale, jaunty [07:30] Firefox says "waiting for domain.com" for a second then just clears out. [07:31] glick, have you tried changing the device in "Audio Conferencing" under "Sound Preferences"??? [07:31] rashed2020, what exactly are you trying to do?

[07:34] And narwhals. === jacob_ is now known as Guest212 [07:34] and badgers [07:34] glick, my suspicion is it has something to do with pulse audio and alsa, why dont you try the #alsa channel and hopefully someone will be able to help you, you just have to be lucky to catch a guru when he's there [07:34] They stopped supporting badgers in Jaunty. [07:34] is fedora and OpenSuse for human beings?? [07:34] fedora isnt [07:34] ok [07:35] OpenSuse is exclusively for reptiles. [07:35] thanks anyway mezquitale [07:35] ravindu, my suspicion is ubuntu is the one for human beings, anything else youre on your own [07:35] its for borgs and house cats [07:35] glick, the other option would be to try the settings under "alsamixer" but most likely you tried that as well [07:35] you all know your cat owns the house... not you [07:35] irc.Rizon.net/6667 [07:35] !iptable > chingus [07:35] Sorry, I don't know anything about iptable [07:36] Someone's going to download anime. [07:36] isnt it iptables [07:36] does ubuntu have any feature similar to readyboost, or is that just a poor excuse for vista/win7 to eat all 8GB of my ram, and is otherwise not necessary in ubuntu? :P [07:36] hi. I moved ubuntu to another hdd, with tar|nc through the network now networking is not working correctly. any hints on where I should look? ipv6 is getting set up, but no DHCP, I don't get any ipv4 ip address and nm-applet won't start either [07:36] !iptables > chingus [07:36] chingus, please see my private message [07:36] idk... still new to linux in general...

It seems broken... [07:39] Why should community use and enhance Fedora and OpenSuse to make available to RedHat and Novell [07:39] rashed2020: nope but sounds complicated [07:40] ravindu: please stay on topic [07:40] Worked right away on 8.04. Haven't updated since that. Now I'm on 9.04 and it's borked =( [07:40] Is ravindu human for humans?

[07:46] ravindu: yes [07:46] navetz: try another [07:46] ravindu: actually I don't know. [07:46] Try to use OSS instead. [07:46] Varth: I think you can (at least) change the icon to Firefox. And few similar stuffs like that, but that's silly IMO. [07:47] leaf-sheep: True... [07:47] I am using HAD Intel according to my system settings [07:47] leaf-sheep: I guess a month isn't so bad... === openess_ is now known as openess [07:48] navetz: nono - system>preferences>Sound [07:48] navetz: there select different from alsa [07:48] navetz: go to sounds in preference and set OSS their and try and test [07:48] navetz: 'n' try [07:48] !falsh [07:48] Sorry, I don't know anything about falsh [07:48] !flashplayer [07:48] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [07:48] navetz: and* [07:48] Varth: It's not a life-or-death matter but I like having two browsers -- especially when both of them have 30 opened tabs. >_> [07:48] ravindu: Reactor oh sorry I installed kde so my setup might be a little bit different [07:48] I'll try to find it [07:49] navetz: ok ok I'll wait [07:49] mezquitale, ubuntu 9.04 sorry fot the late response [07:49] navetz: brb in 3 min-s [07:49] okay [07:49] im getting the live image of ubuntu jaunty jackolope [07:49] syk, and what is your issue with jaunty?

It shows HDA Intel, Pulseaudio, and esound [07:51] navetz: o_O [07:51] syk, you can try this guide however I suggest you backup your files first: http://www.celsius1414.com/node/878 [07:51] mezquitale: ? what no i meant i went to get ubuntu and chose my location and then clicked download and now its at work [07:51] navetz: try to select different things there [07:51] 0_o [07:51] o_0 [07:52] navetz: maybe it will help [07:52] o_O [07:52] aaron11: ;) [07:52] aaron11, yes i understand.

[07:54] mezquitale, upgrading from one release to the next is usually straightforward, so people should keep downloading 9.04 (Jaunty) until Karmic final is out [07:55] Do not use karmic until final release rather testing. [07:55] aaron11, Karmic is still in alpha releases - early test releases - and all of that support is over in #ubuntu+1 [07:55] Reactor: hum i was wrong, when i set pulseaudio and esound I get a message at the bottom of the screen saying Failed falling back on HDA Intel (ALC 861 Analog) [07:55] aaron11, I do not know why karmic koala wont be supported here, it struck me as a surprise as well [07:56] !karmic [07:56] Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 29th, 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [07:56] navetz: ? o_O [07:56] mezquitale, when Karmic has it's final release, it'll be supported here.

You can use unetbootin to make a bootable flash drive you can install from. [07:57] Reactor: thanks for trying [07:57] navetz: np ;) [07:57] navetz: try to change smthg - it will help I think [07:57] leaf-sheep, thank you for clearing the confusion that I had, I did not know that [07:57] leaf-sheep, Lycanthropic Llama, isn't it? :) [07:57] ...lol with building GCC 4.0.3 [07:57] configure: error: Building in the source directory is not supported in this release.

[08:00] navetz: or ask me if u need help [08:00] glick: PulseAudio devices come up as as standard sound devices, just like ALSA [08:00] hi what is a faster alternative to the spreadsheet in openoffice? it must be blazing fast to load, then I do not need any advanced feature [08:00] Callum_, how can i make it register devices [08:00] you can't [08:00] alesan: gnumeric [08:00] i set autospawn to no [08:00] should i change that back to yes [08:00] ?

[08:04] clear [08:04] Dr_Willis, now I am using a textfile with a text editor. installing 43MB of stuff just to be a little more organized is not justified [08:04] Callum_, http://img19.imageshack.us/i/screenshotaudacityprefe.png/ [08:04] titan_ark: just delete the virtual disk [08:04] alesan: check out 'tiddlywiki' its a notetaking 'web tool' that runs totally in a browser :) [08:04] Jeruvy I presently have Ubuntu on a partition of my laptop hdd [08:04] alesan: theres other organizing/note/whatever tools out there as well.

Sounds like a PulseAudio device to me [08:05] i want to remove ubuntu and retain vista [08:05] its not online [08:05] titan_ark: did you do a non-wubi install? Then just format the partition. [08:05] Callum_, i selected it, it doesnt do anything [08:05] it's getting too complicated, I think I will stay with a text file :) [08:05] thank you anyway [08:05] !!! [08:05] I found boycott Novell and what for RedHat? [08:05] alesan: go back to MS-DOS 1.0 while you are at it? :) [08:06] Jeruvy, yes its a non wubi install that I am using now. But then wat abt the grub? i would like to get my old mbr back too [08:06] glick: what about the GNOME sound properties? [08:06] Callum_, the gnome sound properties?

The /dev/shm is a ramdisk and since this netbook has 2GB now it would cut down on disk access when browsing and also speed some things up. Anyone know if this is possible? [08:09] titan_ark: I can't help with windows issues [08:09] Shantanu: no idea. I dont normally installto a exteranl usb hard drive. Ive heard in some cases you have to edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst on the usb drive to make it boot properly from the usb drive. So i would Guess it installs the MBR to the usb drive [08:09] linuxguy2009, http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-fs3.html [08:09] Jeruvy :( sI apologize for asking here [08:10] glick: I'm not sure, ask the Audacity guys [08:10] linuxguy2009: ive seen some netbook tweak threads on the forums that mention similer things i recall [08:10] not sure what the channel is for it...

[08:10] sound recording works fine for me on my ALSA-based setup in Audacity [08:11] Jeruvy: ah :O last resort [08:11] has any one played half life 2 on ubuntu with wine? [08:11] a long long time ago [08:11] nix_chix0r: according to the wine app database.. a lot of people do. [08:11] Dr_Willis: and if i want to boot to internal hdd w/o removing external or changing the boot order [08:11] appdb [08:12] nix_chix0r: give playonlinux a try [08:12] Shantanu: tell the pc what drive to boot I guess. [08:12] i have a fairly decent media pc that i installed wine on. anyway half life 2 is very laggy even though i turned off the fancy graphics on my computer [08:12] Shantanu: you got to pick one by default.. so you could just boot the usb one normally.. then select the windows os - I guess. [08:12] nix_chix0r: it will easy the install and set all settings correctly..

[08:29] wers: does ubuntu support iphone [08:29] Jeruvy: lolwut [08:29] wers: they proberly do [08:29] aaron11: apple only supports osx and windows. [08:29] does anyone have a logitech quickcam pro 9000? [08:30] Dr_Willis, it just has for iPods but not for the touch or iphone. probably, it's not yet upgraded when those device came out [08:30] i have an old logitech cam, dunno what model it is tho [08:31] aaron11, nope. if ever, i'll transfer using windows [08:31] StapleAttack: so thats a no I guess lulz [08:31] Jeruvy: i'd seriously oral anyone with a solution [08:32] wers: i dont even knwot hat that the video is different for those others.. the presets may work for all.. check the forums for winff [08:32] Hi. what's the variable you put in a filename to insert the current date? let's say backup-19092009.tar [08:32] StapleAttack: I wouldn't even bother if you haven't looked [08:32] Keiffer: you could use $(date) [08:32] I think it was always there, could someone check their launch menu to see which package managers are listed there? I might have removed it on accident somehow [08:32] I loved sorting by popularity [08:32] Dr_Willis, the ipods and iphone are very specific about video formats. not all mp4s work because of resolution and other factors. i'll just check the forums :) thanks a lot! :) [08:33] Dr_Willis, thanks. [08:33] i guess alsa is kaputt in jaunty [08:33] :( [08:33] Hello on my panel I added this feature for the processor that controls the cpu, I set it to performance and got 2.10ghz but everytime I reboot it's keeps setting back to ondemand, is there a way that I can set it to performance mode permanently? [08:33] Jeruvy: obviously i use google, obviously i've looked through the forums. as for this launchpad nonsense, if i was there i dont remember. thanks pal [08:34] i've been through so much crap trying to get this to work [08:34] StapleAttack: so you have details? Or just vagueness? [08:35] Jeruvy: at this point i have a logitech cam that ubuntu seems to know is there, as one of the volume control options is "cam" but none of the programs i use, like that recording program has cam available as a recording option [08:35] thats the issue in a nutshell [08:35] !Launchpad > StapleAttack [08:35] StapleAttack, please see my private message === Guest32017 is now known as fahadsadah [08:35] !cheese > StapleAttack [08:35] Sorry, I don't know anything about cheese [08:36] * Jeruvy curses [08:36] !info cheese [08:36] cheese (source: cheese): A tool to take pictures and videos from your webcam.

[08:38] oh [08:38] is it like a single program, with these suggested features? [08:39] hello i am playing quake3 windows version and i cant turn around 360 cuz my cursor is showing up on the edge of the screen! help [08:40] cgroza: you mean to say you are running it in WINE ? [08:40] I've tried various channels including #networking and #linux-wireless but no responses. Anyone here a wireless networking guru [08:40] StapleAttack, launchpad is for bug reporting, group management, all sorts of things. Mostly it's the bug reporting stuff people interact with most from here [08:40] is ubuntu able to have multiple move or copy processes for different drives at one time or does it do only one at a time or something similar? Why is copying and moving so dreadfully slow? [08:40] ^^ [08:40] spO: define slow [08:40] I dont find it slow here. [08:40] well i'm assuming the microphone business is a common issue since the forums are plagued with questions like this [08:41] StapleAttack: 'usb mics' are often a big pain. [08:41] StapleAttack: usually it's 'unmuting' that solves it too :) [08:41] i already did that [08:41] StapleAttack: noted [08:41] 4 hours to copy 40 gb [08:41] Dr_Willis:yes [08:42] Sp0: you're disks suck...I can do 40gb in less than 1 hour. [08:42] i'm about to open a vm just so i can use my mic [08:42] cgroza: there are proberly native linux versions of that game that just use the windows data files.. that would run better [08:42] how counter-productive [08:43] * Dr_Willis hands StapleAttack a $5 old fashioned line in mic. [08:43] hi [08:43] wrong chan [08:43] sry [08:43] :) [08:44] yeah, but i'd also like to be able to use my cam [08:44] Dr_Willis : cant fix this in wine setting or something [08:44] ? [08:44] so i can show my goodies to unsuspecting foreigners [08:44] StapleAttack: webcams either seem to totally work.. or are totally unsupported.. :() [08:44] does anyone have a logitech quickcam pro 9000? [08:44] StapleAttack: mine works fine, can you elaborate, or just bitch? [08:44] cgroza: no idea. Check the wine app database.. run the app fullscreen.. see if it has a LOCK MOUSE feature.. perhaps [08:45] Jeruvy: obviously you're unable to help me, so ima just open a vm [08:45] xp it up baby [08:45] all of a sudden my laptop isn't detecting my portable mouse [08:45] how can i fix this [08:45] StapleAttack: I can't help those who don't explain the issue. You are correct. [08:46] jeruvy, what if you have multiple copy or move processes , does your copying or moving go more slowly? [08:46] Jeruvy: you've never been able to help someone get a usb mic working, have you? [08:46] StapleAttack, xp it up? oh no a baby penguin is dying. [08:46] aha, no comment [08:46] sp0: yes, each process will bleed the I/O from the controller(s) so best to do one at a time [08:47] Jeruvy you're a funny little man. [08:48] StapleAttack: and your ignorance is becoming :) [08:48] right [08:48] but answer my question [08:48] how many people have you helped get their usb mic working? [08:48] Dr_Willis:i found something similar thanks. === happyaron is now known as happyaron|afk [08:49] how do i give a process greater priority? [08:49] redDEADresolve, haha, made me laugh [08:49] and again, i get no answer. because you couldnt help me no matter how much information i gave you [08:49] you've made that point blatantly obvious [08:49] trijntje, i try.

[09:39] i love how more lines were said repremanding him than he actually said [09:39] g-man: do you have a seperate home partition? [09:39] g-man, considering the entire repository is around 40GB, 93 is too much [09:39] yocrap is now buLl [09:39] :P [09:39] well ill fix that later on [09:39] theres supposed to beanother word after bull [09:39] ;) [09:39] just trying to get the other monitor working properly === boshhead_ is now known as boshhead [09:39] bout to watch a movie and crash [09:39] its late [09:40] g-man, check the xrandr link [09:40] i have an nvidia [09:41] no udont [09:41] bulL, please stop [09:42] Poll: how much RAM do you need / use ? [09:42] i need hlp:s [09:42] in ubuntu, of course [09:42] Keiffer, more is always better, but Linux is better at managing RAM than Windows [09:42] Keiffer: depending on what you doing of course [09:43] well, what could you do with more than 4gb? [09:43] Keiffer: normal ubuntu runs ok with 512mb ram [09:43] Keiffer: vms [09:43] i now use 512 mb and not complaining [09:44] yes, that's the one thing i can't do. [09:44] One quick question, will running bootcfg /rebuild in the windows recovery console mess up grub? === Heliade is now known as heliade{LS} === heliade{LS} is now known as heliade [09:44] i am running jaunty with 8gb for some vms and jaunty 1 gb for a eepc with desktop-usage, 2gb hardy for working [09:45] well... just for tomorrow, when i set up partitions correctly.... how will i go about it, I have windows xp, on first 10gb, then 90 gb for programs with windows, then i have this one [09:45] 250gb hard drive all together [09:46] I mean, i understand the concept of partitioning, with windows, not so familiar with linux [09:46] g-man, 10GB or so for /, the rest for /home [09:46] g-man: its basically the sane. :) but knowing what sort of layout you want.. is the issue. [09:47] g-man: just let ubuntu handle the partitions [09:47] i mean for somebody who is learning [09:47] leave part of the hard drive 'unallocated' and let the installer partiton the unallocated space. [09:47] is a easy way [09:47] i have a gparted cd, tomorrow i will resize my ubuntu partitions [09:47] g-man, separate home is always a good idea [09:48] hey does flash work with ubuntu 64? [09:48] i mean, i assume that ubuntu will run snappy, wether its partitioned or not, but u know me, im always going for optimizations [09:48] :D [09:48] a dedicated slice for /var is always a good idea as well [09:48] glicks: yes, works fine here on jaunty 64bit [09:48] is there any reason why i shouldnt run ubuntu 64 [09:48] i have a 64 bit machine === VSIIISU_gay_tpg is now known as psycho_oreos [09:48] glicks: use a live-cd and see if the hardware will be detect [09:48] that way if you are doing allot of logging, that can be handled seperate from the rest of the file system [09:49] glicks: if it will be detect without problems, there is no reasn not to use 64bit [09:49] we have log files that grow to 60gig's every day [09:49] is ubuntu64 faster? [09:49] glicks: no reason to avoid really [09:49] glicks: just have to be careful to use only debs labelled as amd64 [09:49] glicks: no [09:50] Do you know if it's possible to run a torrent client before users log in? like a deamon or so..? [09:50] say there is a game i play on windows... is there any way my ping would decrease... running it on linux [09:50] glicks: its just using more then 4gb ram for one process [09:50] glicks: it can be much faster, but it really depends on what you are doing and if your applications can utilize it. [09:50] i guess what im asking is will i be able to dedicate more bandwith to a game on linux than windows xp [09:50] or is it just the same? [09:50] hmm [09:51] i dont know if i should install it then [09:51] g-man, your bandwith is not dependant on your Operating System [09:51] okay so basically [09:51] no [09:51] difference [09:52] g-man, yes, no difference. IF the game wil run on linux at all that is [09:52] ah [09:52] most games dont need high bandwith - they need good 'ping times' [09:52] g-man: only difference is that windows tends to use bandwidth in the background, which might cut into your game's bandwidth [09:52] i was told that if u could get a game to run under linux it would utilize more ram, in that case wouldnt it be faster [09:53] g-man: lies lol... it really depends on the game, and how you run it [09:53] getting the game to work is a whole other can of worms. but one of the guys that plays the same server, runs thru wine, im gonna get him to walk me thru it [09:53] g-man: thers to many othe varibles. [09:53] g-man, ping is a bandwidth issue, not a RAM/system issue... [09:53] g-man: what game is this? [09:54] yeah... i understand that, but i mean === ktulu_ is now known as Guest77302 [09:54] if i can optimize all my ram 2gb, with linux [09:54] im thinking the game will run better [09:54] its not a hard game to run Ultima Online [09:54] 32bit windows can dedicate 2 gb to a process [09:54] g-man: so the game uses more ram.. so what.. Check the wine app database... [09:54] g-man: with your logic if you had 100gb of ram.. the game would run even better. :) and i doubt if it needs that much ram [09:54] using more ram doesn't mean it'll run better at all [09:55] ah [09:55] brb [09:55] restart [09:57] actually memory is expensive, the more you have, the more memory has to be addressed. === anthony is now known as Guest92351 [09:57] mmcji: memory is cheap atm, 4gb 50€ [09:58] BTW, the game g-man wants to run works with wine, but the game doesn't look like it would use more than 500mb of ram, so I think he's installing ubuntu for the wrong reasons... [09:58] i am not talking about the financial cost of memory [09:58] Freakazo: but faster is better! :) [09:59] Freakazo: i also seem to recall there being work on a Linux NAtive Ultima Online Client. [09:59] mmcji: its not slowing down the performance if you have to adress 500mb or 2gb [09:59] mmcji: its a normal 32bit register [09:59] mmcji: always the same lenght, no matter if 500mb or 2gb === happyaron|afk is now known as happyaron [10:00] that would be legit === Guest92351 is now known as g-man [10:00] that would be awesome, i can almost assure u that a linux native UO client would be faster [10:00] g-man: its always faster to use nativ software instead of wine [10:01] is ubuntu system encryption particularly vulnerable to brute force attacks, or will it always force you to reboot after 3 tries (thus serving as a protection mechanism)? [10:01] g-man: almost always... (firfox with wine is faster then native firefox, but because of a different engine) [10:01] idk [10:01] the one here seems faster than when on windows [10:01] browsing the web, seems alot smoother in linux [10:01] mucous: depends on your password. [10:01] maybe its just me.. === MadMax is now known as Guest90165 [10:02] g-man: but its getting off-topic, so #ubuntu-offtopic is a good place [10:02] k guys [10:02] firefox loads painfully slow in ubuntu compared to any version of windows I've used [10:02] c u tomorrow goondight [10:02] hello?

[10:04] my English is so so [10:04] The command bootcfg /rebuild is ment to repair the boot.ini, will that command mess up grub or is it safe to use? [10:05] (windows command btw) [10:05] mucous: just use a safe password/passphrase [10:05] if it doesn't mess with MBR, it should be fine, I've never used it, though [10:05] Ok thanks, I will do some more reading then...

Windows uses fat32, and therefore doesnt get along well with ext3 unless you install some software.

[11:39] requests for a new ip at the dhcp server [11:39] ahh [11:40] <^mNotIntelligent> cgroza, you need the tool to config webcam settings...lemme check it for your requirements [11:40] helo is there a faster way to download ubuntu's iso file because mine is running at 15kbps and on firefox it says 8h 14m i need ubuntu live cd because i need more space in my partition but in the wubi partition its no good [11:40] amcsi go for /etc/init.d/network restart like suggested --- or might be networking [11:40] Ehm, I think for that you should execute "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" [11:40] now its 5h 58m [11:40] such a long command, but okay, thanks [11:40] <^mNotIntelligent> aaron11___, why dont you use torrents....that allows you restarts... [11:41] <^mNotIntelligent> aaron11___, you can get that from the ubuntu home page itself [11:41] ^mNotIntelligent: because torents contaiv virusis [11:41] aaron11___: viruses ? on Linux ? [11:41] <^mNotIntelligent> aaron11___, i told you to use the genuine torrent files from the _OFFICIAL_ ubuntu site sans viruses [11:42] aaron11___, if you are using linux get clamav and scan everything if you are worried of viruses, they are little threat to linux anyway [11:42] clamav only finds windows viruses :/ [11:42] <^mNotIntelligent> Chousuke, right [11:42] (because there are no linux viruses to look for :)) [11:42] guys [11:42] <^mNotIntelligent> Chousuke, agree to that... [11:42] anthony [11:42] <^mNotIntelligent> anthony, whats the issue? === anthony is now known as Guest16482 [11:42] Are there any disadvantages to using LVM? [11:43] Squarc: ^mNotIntelligent Dhuski im on windows right now getting the iso === Guest16482 is now known as anthon-y [11:43] if the download is going slowly are u using wireless or ehternet [11:43] aaron11___: like he said,, use the official torrent provided by ubuntu/cannonical and nothing can go wrong [11:43] im using a usb modem [11:43] hi everybody, i got a GRUB error 18, fresh installed machine with windows xp + ubuntu 9.04; already asked in #GRUB but it seems i gotta be here because it's an old GRUB-version. anybody knows what it exactly mean && howto fix it? [11:43] <^mNotIntelligent> aaron11___, that does not make any difference as long as you get the torrent from the official site....but its your choice finally... [11:43] on xp or ubuntu [11:44] I want to compile Epiphany on ubuntu 8.04 [11:44] <^mNotIntelligent> aaron11___, and if you're sick of all this order one free ubuntu cd at shipit.ubuntu.com [11:44] Snicks|TWw: whats the error? [11:44] Have you reinstalled grub after installing XP Snicks|TWw? [11:44] Sqarc: I have an Nvidia video card, as well as dual monitors, my monitor on the right won't show up.... but when i try to configure it using x- server... it wont let me save the new configuration, thus the secondary monitor stays off, how should i go about this? [11:44] When i compile the src I get many erros such as lackng libraries [11:44] Squarc, 'error 18; StupidWeasel installed ubuntu 9.04 after XP [11:44] do an update and then try === kayetanadmin is now known as something132 [11:44] <^mNotIntelligent> Mike225, did you google to get a hang of it? [11:44] piers: if ur trying to talk to my write aaron11 and press tab [11:45] where to get the soruce code of the exact version of epiphany delivered with it [11:45] yes [11:45] aaron11___: [11:45] yoz! [11:45] like that [11:45] anthon-y: in terminal type gksudo nvidia-settings then you can save changes [11:45] anthon-y: did you start nvidia-settings with kdesudo ? [11:45] nice man [11:45] <^mNotIntelligent> aaron11___, yes [11:45] Squarc: how come torents are faster [11:45] how do u guys remember commands like that, lol [11:46] aaron11___, becuse it is p2p [11:46] how to get ubuntu source packages ? [11:46] aaron11___: because there's a lot of people that are sharing (uploading), instead of just 1 server located somewhere on the world..

[11:46] hey I remember someone saying something about making your cam brighter this websites has some good info http://mxhaard.free.fr/download.html [11:46] bye guys [11:46] <^mNotIntelligent> piers, bye [11:46] so by default [11:47] you can't just go in and changes settings, without gksudo? [11:47] hi everybody, i got a GRUB error 18, fresh installed machine with windows xp + ubuntu 9.04(first installed XP, there-after ubuntu); already asked in #GRUB but it seems i gotta be here because it's an old GRUB-version. anybody knows what it exactly mean && howto fix it? [11:48] hrm damn OK, so this video card is a Radeon 9200 pro which isn't covered by the binary drivers [11:48] Snicks|TWw, sudo apt-get update, then sudo apt-get upgrade... [11:48] <^mNotIntelligent> Snicks|TWw, whats the problem, btw? I might have missed your earlier Qs, if you 've asked any [11:48] anthon-y: well.. I dont know.. but to write the config you MUST run nvidia-settings with kdesudo or gksudo [11:48] anthon-y: you can but to be able to save changes to the xorg.conf file you need root permission. thats what gksudo does [11:48] Edward123, huh? mine is the same card and mine auto installed.... [11:49] is there a GUI for gksudo? [11:49] anthon-y: you know how to setup the twin-view ? [11:49] Dhuski: when i switch to alt+f7 i guess perhaps it's sending at a res/refresh rate my monitor can't see? [11:49] is there some way to start it up in compatibility mode? [11:49] yeah, i think i need to restart for it to take affect [11:49] brb [11:49] anthon-y: gksudo is sudo gui..... juse execute on command line: "gksudo nvidia-settings" [11:49] thanks [11:49] gais [11:49] :D [11:49] Dhuski, won't really help if the only possible way of starting up is with live-cd ; ^mNotIntelligent GRUB error 18 at starting up of the computer ;) [11:49] i'm annoyed my geforce card is bust, it looks all sexy, chunky and heavy with that big gpu and fan [11:50] possible in that case a simple "xrandr -s x -r " in a commandline should fix it. [11:50] then you'll get the gksudo dialog.. enter youre password there and nvidia-settings will start with root permissions... now it can write you're config and change X settings [11:50] and it sounds like nvidia has the best support too === mike is now known as Linda52 [11:50] Snicks|TWw: Do you have more than one hard drive [11:50] Snicks|TWw, ah I see...sorry [11:50] Hi all [11:50] Hello I have added some graphs to my panel such as the processor/disk/network/memory and my memory one says 38% use by programs and 55% used by cache, I only have 3 programs running wherei s the cache one coming from and how can I cancel them they are making my computer slow? [11:50] "mike is now known as Linda52" lol [11:50] lol [11:50] Edward123, possible in that case a simple "xrandr -s x -r " in a commandline should fix it. [11:50] I Squarc [11:51] Hi* [11:51] anselm, only one HDD; 3 partions; windows xp ; ubuntu 9.04 ; swap(for ubuntu) [11:51] Snicks|TWw: Sorry can't help [11:51] nice [11:51] got it guys [11:51] Snicks, is yout windows partition set as logical or primary? [11:51] ty [11:51] Vtec, get the details of the cache programs then "ps -A |grep" to find them then "kill -9" to kill them off one by one [11:51] anthony: great :D [11:51] Vtec: cache shouldnt hurt you're performance [11:51] quick question [11:52] hrm Dhuski if i try that i get 'can't open display' in the console... and i can't get to X to type anything into it === anthony is now known as Guest8616 [11:52] when im loggin in after reboot, i have a generic kernel 14, and 7 , what are the differences between the two? [11:52] Edward123, make sure the details after xrandr are 100% accurate === Guest8616 is now known as anthon-y [11:52] Dhuski i ran xrandr -s 800x600 -r 60 === anthon-y is now known as _anthony [11:53] Okay how about setting my processor to boot at 2.1Ghz everytime I boot? because when I boot it stays on a mdoe called "ondemand" and is only 1.0Ghz and I have to switch it manually to 2.1Ghz? [11:53] Vtec, i don't know, i assume it will be set primary (not my own computer ;) ) [11:53] IS that your screen size, details, and compatible with your card etc?? [11:53] _anthony: the one is newer than the other... for exact changes read the linux kernel changelog [11:53] <_anthony> ah... but why is there two? [11:53] Edward123, IS that your screen size, details, and compatible with your card etc?? [11:53] ahh I have my partition of windows set as logical any idea how to set to primary? I hve alot of space left so I was thinking use gparted to copy it onto a new partition? [11:53] <_anthony> that's odd [11:53] Dhuski: surely there isn't a card out there that doesn't support 800x600? and the display was running in 800x600 at 60hz [11:53] before i switched out the cards [11:54] Edward123, I am more worried about your monitor being able to handle it... [11:54] with the ubuntu installer, if you have flagged your / partition as bootable, does it install grub to MBR or / ? [11:54] infact, at once stage the WM did open up and say "there was a problem, would you like to configure settings for your card?" which i did [11:54] restarted, and now the WM doesn't open at all heh [11:54] i know it can handle 800x600 at 60hz [11:54] i dont want it to touch the mbr [11:54] <_anthony> ah nice... [11:54] okay [11:55] Edward123, drop into a commandline interface and I will give you a commandline that might work [11:55] Dhuski: there's where i'm at, hacking away like i'm in the matrix... [11:55] <_anthony> okay now for gparted... i was going to get my partitions setup right befor i go back to pure gnome, i was told previously this evening before my nap that i want to go 10 GiB / , and the rest /home , is this correct? [11:55] Edward123, Try the following without quotes "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" [11:56] why does my pc always crash? hmm..... [11:56] i have upgraded ram to 2 gig when it was 512mb and i have changed my monitor [11:56] to a larger monitor [11:56] thats only changes [11:56] If I have my windows partition set to logical (some how happened when I used livecd to partition ubuntu), how would I get it to start as primary so I can actually BOOT my windows? Someone told me to Copy + PAste it onto a new partition on GPartED will that work? [11:56] Dhuski: ran that, but xorg.conf looks the same as it did before. shall i sudo /etc/gdm restart ? [11:57] something132, ram isn't the only thing nor is the monitor...processor and graphics card are equally important [11:57] and it keeps randomly shutting down [11:57] something132: could be the ram, run memtest86+ overnight [11:57] Edward123, try it... [11:57] * Edward123 tries it [11:57] nup, still 'no signal' from the monitor [11:57] <_anthony> okay now for gparted... i was going to get my partitions setup right befor i go back to pure gnome, i was told previously this evening before my nap that i want to go 10 GiB / , and the rest /home , is this correct? [11:57] hello when i run camorama it says unable to capturrre image!! [11:57] and it's kind of twitching weirdly so i guess it's still sending at a res the monitor can't support [11:58] can i manually set a resolutoin in xorg.conf? [11:58] <_anthony> I'm new, is that a reommended setup for a linux n00b [11:58] <_anthony> ? [11:58] Edward123: did you activate driver in system>admin>hardware drivers? [11:58] Hi, I am trying to setup postfix so I can send mail from my local lan to my ISP's SMTP server, but I don't know what all the options mean. What is a smarthost? [11:58] legend2440: i can't get into X to do that [11:58] I look at all the options presented and end up scratching my head... [11:59] Edward123, have a look at :https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver try and emulate the xorg.conf file there [11:59] !jasper [11:59] Sorry, I don't know anything about jasper [11:59] !radeon [11:59] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [11:59] hello what is jasper conversion prgram and how do i intall it? [11:59] Edward123: nvidia card? [11:59] _anthony, 10GB / and rest home is pretty much good for starters [12:00] _anthony, don't forget a swap space though [12:00] legend2440: raedon, one not supported by the fglrx driver unfortunately, just slightly too old [12:01] <_anthony> nice, now in gparted.. how would i set that up, i have just one hard drive... and the first 10g are designated to XP, next 80/90 are for XP Programs, and the other half of the hard drive i will be using for linux... i would kinda like to know, how it should look and where the swap file goes, beggining end etc. [12:01] is anyones wireless working at only 1mb/s [12:02] ? [12:02] is anyones wireless working at 1mb/s [12:02] hi. if i were to use a AUDIO player which adjusts volume by DECIBEL, which would I use? I need to know how "high" 42 db is. [12:02] why would you use that rate? piers_ [12:03] psycho_oreos, it is just that mine was working at that and i had to browse for ages [12:03] piers_, ive seen it do that on mine, but i can use cable so its not a problem. [12:03] piers_, my netbook tho its 100% all the time and constantly 54mb [12:03] Can anyone here help me with my hard drive and operating systems? [12:04] _anthony, doesn't really matter where your swap goes, end is as good as anywhere [12:04] piers_, its down to the driver [12:04] <_anthony> ok, and the swap file is approx, 2gigs [12:04] don't ask me about gparted though, I never ever used it [12:04] http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/7763/screenshot1pd.png <--- are those done properly? [12:04] kjelle: -14dB is equivalent to a 56% volume, at least the sound applet on my laptop says so [12:04] duffydack, i know but there is a bug with the rt2500 mini pci driver [12:05] swap should be the same size as your memory is [12:05] hi everybody [12:05] hi [12:05] they told me swap was incase i ran out of RAM [12:05] HELP, BASICALLY I put kubuntu on a usb and i cant boot off it [12:05] maybe someone can help me. [12:05] :/ [12:05] you can run w/o swap [12:05] <_anthony> chris [12:05] Vtec, that's about what it does [12:05] <_anthony> is there an easier program [12:06] DJCMay, with what [12:06] DJCMay: dont ask to ask ;) just ask :) [12:06] <_anthony> to resize partitions with? [12:06] <_anthony> gparted doesnt really just say / and /home [12:06] <_anthony> it says like dev/ext 3 somethin like that [12:06] i installed ubuntu on usb, was able to boot, but after update the kernel, the message is "missing operating system" [12:06] _anthony, I consider command line a pretty easy way, but I guess that's because I'm used to it ;) [12:07] does anyone know how to boot off a usb stick? [12:07] does anyone know how to change the network adapter, from eth1 to eth0 ? [12:07] chris| do you know how I can get the NTFS (windows) to boot? someone told me I need to set it from logical TO primary [12:07] i cant boot from usb [12:07] helpzzz [12:07] any1 know how to boot off a usb stick [12:07] !help [12:07] 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. :-) [12:07] <_anthony> oh gees.... lol in xp i can do it via command line [12:07] <_anthony> not here [12:07] <_anthony> heh [12:08] yeah same problem piers [12:08] <_anthony> im gonna give this a shot, then when i get back going to pure gnome, afk a bit [12:08] jatt: u know any players which would show it?

[12:09] boot from usb, select usb in bios as 1st boot device [12:09] brb [12:09] piers_, u can boot from the isb device, when u use the alternate installer [12:09] how are you making the usb stick........ [12:09] I have a problem with grub. Is this a good place to ask for some help? [12:09] using usb startup disk creator on gnome [12:10] chris| may I privatem essage it to you or pastebin it? iti s about 8 lines [12:10] piers_, what format is the partition on the stick [12:10] im using usb creator [12:10] what should it be [12:10] ? [12:10] same as piers [12:10] something132, i used the alternate-cd and it works [12:10] alternate cd? [12:10] but, after updating, booting won't work [12:11] im using usb [12:11] Vtec, pastebin [12:11] i don't know y [12:11] does the usb startup have somin to do with your bios [12:11] ??????????????? [12:11] something132, i installed from the alternate-cd on the usb stick [12:11] erm... usb only works with the live/desktop versions. [12:11] or so I thought [12:12] alternate cd? what do you mean? [12:12] Barnabas ? [12:12] the following is my sudo fdisk -l and my menu.lst [12:12] http://pastebin.ca/1571702 [12:12] duffydack, no it worked fine by using the alternate cd to install ubuntu on usb [12:12] MissDjax, yes? [12:12] does your system have to support usb booting [12:12] DJCMay, oh, well we are talkin about using the usb stick to install it.. not install onto it [12:12] duffydack, oh, ok. sry. :) [12:13] bye [12:13] Barnabas: I am actually under the live CD and edited the /etc/modules, the module that prolly makes troubles is listed after #chip drivers, should I just delete it an reboot normally ? [12:13] still i don't know what to do [12:13] Vtec, they were right, you need a primary partition for your windows [12:14] something132, check your bios supports usb booting [12:14] how would I make it primary? any idea? [12:14] I heard that I can just create a new partition on gparted and paste the windows one onto it? [12:14] something132, you might also have to hit a key during boot to bring up a boot list...to choose what device to boot from [12:14] ok cool i made a syntax error, at least i know X is reading my xorg.conf...... [12:14] when i do that [12:14] it gives no option for usb [12:14] before it didi [12:14] MissDjax, or try to remark it at first [12:15] does anybody know about my problem? [12:15] Barnabas: what do you mean with remark ? [12:15] comment it out ? [12:15] something132, have you ever booted from usb before? [12:15] something132, how old is this pc you are using? [12:16] MissDjax, start the line of the driver in question with a # [12:16] its not that old [12:16] ok that was what I meant >( [12:16] like the remark lines in the top of the file [12:16] i tried b4 but it said something is missing [12:16] oops damn keyboard layout lol [12:16] then i put on kubuntu properly and there is no option for usb [12:17] I heard that I can just create a new partition on gparted and paste the windows one onto it? would that work chris|? [12:17] something132, which ubuntu are you wanting to put onto the stick. ubuntu or kubuntu [12:18] Vtec: i dont think its that simple. Converting from logical/extended to primary - is what you are trying to do right? [12:19] yes correct, i was told i needed to do that to be able to dual boot with windows [12:21] yo how do I resize my HD in GParted?? [12:22] nemesis1911: click on the picturet that looks like: -> | [12:22] hi no sound is coming in my system, how to fix it? [12:22] yeah jri: it grayed out [12:22] run gparted from a live cd (the parittions have to be unmounted, use the menus in gparted/sliders to change things around, hit apply.. wait...... [12:22] when i apt-get upgrade it tells me it is holding back linux-generic, linux-image-generic and restricted modules [12:22] gparted requires some extra tools for some filesystem types also. [12:23] should i force it to upgrade these or just leave it? [12:23] echosystm: dist-upgrade [12:23] echosystm: you should use dist-upgrade [12:23] ok [12:23] weird, i downloaded the latest ISO [12:23] i figured it would have these in it already [12:23] jirib: its grayed out [12:23] Vtec, as I already said, I have no idea what gparded is capable of ;) [12:23] echosystm: "latest iso"? Which one exactly? [12:23] nemesis1911: see what Dr_Willis said [12:23] heyo, does someone wanna help figure out why my cd burner wont work [12:24] and debug my error log [12:24] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d2c68299b [12:24] i dont know, just the one thats on the mirror [12:24] i am completely at a loss :( [12:24] i downloaded it an hour ago [12:24] echosystm: there are dozens...

The isos don't get updates [12:25] if i run dist-upgrade, what am i upgrading to? [12:25] nemesis1911: boot live cd that has gparted.. and use gparted to resize it.. is what i normally do. the filesystem MUST not be in use - to resize it. [12:25] i think the errors start at line 147 here http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d2c68299b [12:25] nemesis1911: you could perhaps use gparted [12:25] i said why isnt any1 helping cos i told u a little while ago the problem and no one is listnin [12:25] something132: or no one knows... [12:25] ok sure whatever [12:25] echosystm: read the description of dist-upgrade and upgrade in « man apt ». It doesn't upgrade releases, just packages [12:25] kew kewl thx Dr_WIllis ;-) [12:26] my usb isnt bootable [12:26] basically it was before but now it isnt [12:26] something132: i did it with unetbootin [12:26] unetbootin doesnt work for me [12:26] so i used usb creator [12:26] does anyone know much about ubuntu base cd/dvd burner that would like to help me?

[12:27] ok well done for abusing ubottu now help? [12:27] i installed ubuntu on usb-device, started it and updated it. after reboot i get the message "missing operation system". is the problem the kernel update and how can i resolve this problem? [12:27] something132: try booting it on other machines - see if it fails for them as well. [12:27] something132: it's not that I don't want to help you, but I *can't* help you because I don't know how [12:27] it does [12:27] it fails on other machines [12:27] and jrib, dr_willis is helping [12:28] my dvd burner wont burn anymore, here is my error log if someone has the time to check it out [12:28] something132: and fails in what way? no menu? error messages?

[12:29] when i turn on pc, f8 and it tells me where to boot from [12:29] cd hdd and it used to be usb [12:29] something132, some usb sticks dont work with booting. what make is it [12:29] mikeyfbi: you should search bugs.ubuntu.com for that error and try other tools to burn [12:29] re [12:29] hey hey..any easy tricks to watching my first blu-ray disk on ubuntu? [12:29] it worked b4, just when i extracted it it doenst [12:29] :S [12:30] something132, well format the usb with fat32, and use usb-creator again [12:30] something132: Try setting the LBA flag on the flash drive parititons via gparted. ive also had to on occasion reformat flash drives to fat16 and let unetbootin try a 2nd time.. [12:30] Barnabas: same problem ( [12:30] tmkt: I believe there is a bluray page on help.ubuntu.com/community [12:30] something132: 'just when i extracted it' ? means what exactly? [12:30] yo can I put gparted-live.iso on a usb and boot from it [12:30] nemesis1911 yes [12:31] nemesis1911: you cant just copy a iso to a flash drive - you still have to have some sort of bootloader/kernel/initrd setup. [12:31] usb creator [12:31] tmtk: blue ray should not be any problem 4 VLC [12:31] nemesis1911: unetbootin handles that task and the usb-disk-creator does the same task. [12:31] something132 thx.. do I just put the ISO on or do I extract it [12:31] anyway now it says fat 32 800 mb used [12:31] etc, [12:32] hello.... can anyone tell me how i can edit my current run level (i.e. i want to stop some program to starts up by default...) [12:32] Having a problem with the official Ubuntu postfix documentation here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Postfix [12:32] and there are no flags when i choose manage flags [12:32] NeoCicak: sysv-rc-conf [12:32] NeoCicak: default runlevel is 2 [12:32] "Next edit /etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf and add the following lines:" [12:32] where can i find more info about all of the versions of ubuntu that show at grub [12:32] nemesis1911: extract it with something like unetbootin or usb creator [12:32] Dr_willis: unetbootin? [12:32] the file doesn't exist! [12:32] nemesis1911: yes.. thats the name of the tool i use to make bootable flash media [12:32] i started with 1 but now have about 7 (im guessing kernel updates) [12:33] i just want to learn! but dont know where to look [12:33] mikeyfbi: there should be two for every kernel you have installed: normal and recovery. You can remove old kernel images, but you should keep at least 2 around (and old one and a current one :)) [12:33] Dr_Willis thx where do I find it [12:33] nemesis1911: google is our friend. :) its also in the repositories for linux (and downloadable for windows) [12:33] !info unetbootin [12:33] jrib cool ... so what exactly is the difference between each of them? [12:33] unetbootin (source: unetbootin): installer of Linux/BSD distributions to a partition or USB drive. In component universe, is optional.

[12:34] dr_willis, any advice? [12:34] mikeyfbi: like you said, they are kernel updates. Usually some security issue, but you can read the changelogs and see exactly [12:34] hey; can someone quickly tell me the command for how I can get the newest wine version? (i've got wine atm) [12:34] jrib: thx a lot! [12:34] jrib, and do my changes get saved across all of them? (ie screensaver, or appearance, or desktop icons etc) [12:34] mikeyfbi: yep, those are independent of the kernel [12:35] something132: use gparted and totally repartiion/format the thing and rerun unetbootin on it.. try fat16, lba mode. if you can [12:35] something132: try other flash drives if you can also. [12:35] craig try winehq.org i think that is the site might be .com [12:35] jrib, so the benefit of keeping them would be like a backup in case the new kernel has issues, right? [12:35] ok, one last time. :) [12:35] i installed ubuntu on usb-device, started it and updated it. after reboot i get the message "missing operation system". is the problem the kernel update and how can i resolve this problem? [12:35] mikeyfbi: right, but it doesn't make much sense to keep more than one old one around [12:36] how can I put comment on pdf ? what software in linux can does that ? [12:36] jrib, cool thanks, and could you point me in the direction to find out how to remove them from the grub [12:36] how can I put comment on pdf ? what software in linux can does that ? [12:36] Is there a place I can get specific Ubuntu Postfix help? [12:36] DJCMay: when installed to a usb drive. some times the menu.lst (grub config) gets wrong and used hd1,0 when it should be using hd0,0.. You may want to heck the menu.lst BUT it sounds like the pc isent even trying to boot from your hard drive... [12:36] mikeyfbi: if you remove the corresponding linux-image* package, the entry should be removed from grub. I believe there was some "cruft remover" program that may help doing this as well but have no experience with it [12:36] MarkGi: this one... [12:37] Barnabas: the rt73 module was what caused kernel panic, I commented it out but still have KP ( http://paste.ubuntu.com/274089/ ) [12:37] jrib, oh so 'uninstal' the whole thing. k gotcha. i have one more thing to toss your way [12:37] jrib, the newest kernel doesn't allow me to burn dvds, but i just loaded an older one to test it, and it works fine [12:38] mikeyfbi: you should file a bug/ look for an existing one [12:39] jrib, gotcha, thanks. they should allow for a website or 'sig' file on xchat ... you have helped me before and you should get recognition!! lol [12:39] Dr_Willis, thx [12:39] can some one help me set up a networking bridge? thought i had it set up but i cannot connect through it. [12:39] i'll check that. :) [12:39] hey guys which is my usb drive? is it /dev/shm ?? [12:40] nemesis1911: no, probably not [12:40] nemesis1911: no, it should be /dev/sdsomething.

[12:40] nemesis1911: sudo fdisk -l, it should show all drives [12:40] what does flag fba do? [12:40] fla i dunno [12:40] nemesis1911 probably something like /dev/hdb [12:41] something132: 'lba' [12:41] something132: 'long block addressing' [12:41] #j poland [12:41] Some of my flash drives wont boot in some machines unless the partition is flagged 'lba' [12:41] /dev/sdb1 I think [12:41] jrib, one last question. what would you say the potential risk is of being connected to the internet using an older kernel? worth worrying about? [12:42] so how will it affect it [12:42] shouldnt i check the boot thing as well? [12:42] something132: very little affect.. just made the thing boot better.. yes flag it bootable also. [12:43] adding a SubSectin "Display" to xorg.conf seems to cause a syntax error? [12:43] i'm looking to specify Modes directly [12:43] mikeyfbi: depends really... If you don't have random people connecting to your machine, you should be fine.

[14:13] still downloading [14:13] okey [14:13] Hello, I plugged my 17 inch acer LCD to laptop via vga port and how to display picture in LCD [14:13] legend2440: ok [14:14] Callum_: Callum_: Package libdvdcss2 has no installation candidate [14:14] oh [14:14] zilleplus : It worked [14:14] hehehe [14:14] Bookman: Maybe you want to install the libdvdcss2 package from VideoLAN's website instead [14:14] legend2440: thanks its back on top right now. :) [14:15] If anyone can tell me why I keep getting "gio-2.0.vapi:593.10-593.21: error: The type name `GLib.Variant' could not be found" no matter what i try while compiling abraca i will give you a great big hug :D [14:15] Callum_: wow, such a fight. I still have the ATI, wireless and flash to fight through yet. It is going to be a long day [14:15] "wget http://download.videolan.org/pub/libdvdcss/1.2.9/deb/libdvdcss2_1.2.9-1_i386.deb && sudo dpkg -i libdvdcss2_1.2.9-1_i386.deb" should do it for libdvdcss2 [14:15] is it just me or are fonts massive in ubuntu? [14:16] firefox locks its dpi at 96, but the fonts are noticeably larger than in windows :/ [14:16] just you === enzotib_ is now known as enzotib [14:16] echosystm: lol its usually the other way around [14:16] i mean, to the point that some html layouts on websites are messed up because the fonts are too big [14:16] Firefox's fonts are normally so much smaller than everything else [14:16] echosystm: uh, firefox locks the font size? [14:16] Bookman: I don't think you added medibuntu correctly. did you run "apt-get update"? [14:17] LjL, regardless of what DPI your desktop is using, firefox still uses 96 [14:17] afaik [14:17] mslootweg0: the scripts from the Ubuntu wiki automatically run apt-get update [14:17] echosystm: i didn't know. i could possibly tell you how to force some DPI if they're not being detected right for your monitor, but if firefox locks that and it still isn't right, i don't know. [14:17] there is a way to change firefox's default DPI [14:17] callum he needs to do sudo apt-get upgrade to i think [14:18] i was just wondering why this happens at all [14:18] hmm [14:18] all text is much bigger here [14:18] on my laptop and my desktop [14:18] u reckon? [14:18] mslootweg0: i am using skype.. others are not able to here my voice!! how to check that? [14:18] mohan1 call skype test call [14:18] mohan1: did you updated your drivers?? [14:18] Bookman: just in case, run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2" before downloading libdvdcss2 from VideoLAN website [14:18] zilleplus: yes.. i did.. [14:19] The_One: i am trying test call.. its saying user not found! [14:19] mohan1: well go to options and sellect the right microphone [14:19] mohan1 go to the new window thing i opened [14:19] use testcal to try [14:19] echosystm, in general, it *may* be expected for fonts to be bigger: while windows locks the fonts at whatever DPI, ubuntu just tries to detect the correct DPI for your monitor [14:19] zilleplus im learning [14:20] Opera 10 stops responding a lot, how do I fix that? [14:20] echosystm: that's enough to make it different from windows... and then, if your monitor happens to be silly and cause them to be detected *wrong*, it's even more noticeable ;) [14:20] Callum_: Ok, got it working. Thanks. [14:20] let me put it this wya [14:20] if irun windows in a vm [14:20] Mohan: You need the package alsa-oss to support skype [14:20] I did something wrong updating [14:20] under linux [14:20] The_one: wath do you mean?? [14:20] the fonts are still bigger [14:21] echosystm: that's just not possible, unless you're using a different *resolution* than the one you're using in windows! [14:21] echosystm: http://www.mozilla.org/unix/dpi.html [14:21] The_One, is your skype working?? [14:21] GAHH [14:21] Mohan: Ubuntu uses the alsa sound system, but skype requires OSS. the alsa-oss package adds oss support to a;sa [14:21] Windows 7 VM crashed, damn it! >_> [14:22] all is not lost hopefully [14:22] Callum_, use sun virtual box [14:22] Callum_, sun virtual box is better [14:22] could someone please tell me which file i add usbhid mousepoll=2 to ? [14:22] zilleplus: I just got told the same thing in another channel =P [14:23] Zilleplus: Nothing beats VMware Workstation, too bad it's not free :P [14:23] What is a good wysiwyg html editor that would allow me to easily create navigation menus and would easily maintain them when the page structure changes? Previously I built navigation menus by hand and copied them to every page but that became a nightmare when I wanted to change anything as I would have to change the menu entries on every single page? Is there a web development irc channel? Thanks for your consideration [14:23] running Sun VirtualBox 3.0.6 here, I'm sure its just Windows, business as usual [14:23] Callum_, WM ware is old sun virtual box is better [14:23] mslootweg0, yes sun virtual box does [14:24] Hi everyone, i'm having trouble with VirtualBox. i installed the usb supported version but the usb devices are still grayed out. could someone help me fix this problem? [14:24] JonathanEllis, there are no good wysiwyg editors on linux because no one uses them [14:24] Humm can Ext2Fsd on windows 7 64bit read a Ext3 Softraid array safely? [14:24] And however awesome VMware is, it won't run properly on ubuntu [14:24] Not bothered about writing too much. [14:24] Callum_, you still got problem with windows 7 in sunvirtual box [14:24] Sorry for insisting! Any guess about configuring modem zte mf100 under ubuntu 9.04? [14:24] mslootweg0, for example sun virtual box can have an dynamic mem [14:24] andyzammy: You need to enable the USB controller on your VM, then set up a USB filter for your devices. [14:24] !kompozer | JonathanEllis [14:24] JonathanEllis: kompozer is a WYSIWYG HTML editor for easily creating web pages, and the continuation of the dead Nvu project. It is available in !Universe on !Gutsy and later releases. [14:25] JonathanEllis, i suggest learning how to use find and replace in batches [14:25] chrisw: how do the filters work? atm i would like to let windows see my bt 3g dongle [14:25] zilleplus: to be fair the VM has been compiling for hours on end and the Ubuntu system its running on hasn't been rebooted in almost 2 days with TONS of stuff been changed about it and stuff running in the background, so yeah I'm kinda not surprised... [14:25] ubottu, use notepad++ [14:25] Sorry, I don't know anything about use notepad++ [14:25] !nvu [14:25] kompozer is a WYSIWYG HTML editor for easily creating web pages, and the continuation of the dead Nvu project. It is available in !Universe on !Gutsy and later releases. [14:25] most good text editors will let you do this, or you could write a bash script [14:26] !bot | zilleplus [14:26] zilleplus: Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [14:26] JonathanEllis: not sure if screem will do that. [14:26] sed -i 's/blah/blee/g' [14:26] andyzammy: You can set up a blank filter so all USB devices that are plugged in while the VM is active. [14:26] adda filename after [14:26] andyzammy: or just set up one for each USB device at a time. [14:27] wtf who is so stupid to set a bot one this channel [14:27] It is the official #ubuntu bot. [14:27] !seen ubottu [14:27] I have no seen command [14:27] And *very* useful. [14:27] !bot | Callum_ [14:27] Callum_, please see my private message [14:28] zilleplus the bot is extremely helpful in this channel [14:28] Humm can Ext2Fsd on windows 7 64bit read a Ext3 (or even ext4) Softraid array safely? I'm not too bothered about writing - although that would be neat. [14:28] !bot > /dev/null [14:28] =p [14:28] !botabuse [14:28] Please investigate with me only with "/msg ubottu Bot" or in #ubuntu-bots. Search for factoids with "/msg ubottu !search factoid". [14:28] chrisw: i'm not sure if my filter is working. a while ago i made one for my webcam, but in the devices tab it is still grayed out and i can't select it. [14:28] echosystm: Oh really? Why is that? Maybe I am asking the wrong question. Perhaps I just need to learn how to generate navigation menus. I already have Quanta Plus but I dont know if it will generate nav menus. Rods_Tiger: What is screem? Is there a web development irc channel where I could ask my questions as I fear questions about html in here are off-topic? [14:28] StupidWeasel: Reading won't break anything. [14:28] IdleOne, a bot can't know a unique problem only regular problems [14:28] zilleplus: and this channel is full of regular ones. [14:28] zilleplus: and there's certainly a lot of those here. your point? [14:28] !you D= [14:28] Sorry, I don't know anything about you D= [14:28] * nathan7 hides [14:29] andyzammy: Greyed out in the guest OS? [14:29] nathan7: stop fooling around with the bot [14:29] zilleplus there are many unique problems the bot knows about [14:29] * nathan7 stopped. [14:29] JonathanEllis: there's one just called 'web' which is very good [14:29] JonathanEllis, perhaps #ubuntu-offtopic is better [14:29] !orderpizza [14:29] Sorry, I don't know anything about orderpizza [14:29] !botabuse [14:29] o_o [14:29] Please investigate with me only with "/msg ubottu Bot" or in #ubuntu-bots. Search for factoids with "/msg ubottu !search factoid". [14:29] chrisw: yes [14:29] okay there I stop now [14:29] JonathanEllis: channel, that is [14:29] Callum_: There's a pizza ordering program. [14:29] !offtopic [14:29] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [14:29] Callum_: COmmand-line pizza, http://www.beigerecords.com/cory/Things_I_Made/PizzaParty [14:29] nathan7: Ok thanks, just wanted to make sure before I poked things with a stick. My gaming addiction still requires me to have a copy of windows laying around. [14:29] Rods_tiger and echosystm: Thanks very much [14:29] I've written a comprehensive orderpizza shell script =P [14:29] LjL, people who have regular problems can look it up at google so they don't need bot [14:29] I say addiction... I barely play anything more then a flash game these days =P [14:30] zilleplus: i beg to differ, anyway if you disagree with having a bot in this channel, join #ubuntu-ops and tell. [14:30] Its a shame it can't actually order your pizza though [14:30] Callum_: #ubuntu-offtopic [14:30] Heh heh heh [14:30] Rods_Tiger: Is #web on freenode? [14:30] yep [14:30] If it cant order you pizza, in ubuntu, is that back on topic? =P [14:30] LjL, i think they just got to make a channel special for the bot [14:30] sigh [14:30] my htop shows that out of 10gb of swap memory, my system is using 0 of it, is that normal? [14:30] StupidWeasel: move on. [14:30] lol [14:30] Sorry sorry =P [14:30] zilleplus: welcome to discuss it to #ubuntu-ops [14:31] Could not resist <3 [14:31] zilleplus ubottu has been helping for 4+ years in this channel any many others. [14:31] zilleplus: again, this is not reallythe place t discuss it. [14:31] moving on [14:31] andyzammy: If it's showing on the guest OS then the filter is functioning. The problem will be with the guest OS itself. In this case you're talking about Windows so it's greyed out on the device manager. You'll either need to enable it from there or check why it's not starting (no driver for example). [14:31] Anyone here using dvdrip on Ubuntu and know how to fix a sound sync issue? [14:31] zilleplus: #ubuntu-bots. [14:31] zilleplus: It exists. [14:31] i know the bot shoud be there [14:31] end discussion here [14:31] chrisw: how do i add a "blank" filter. i can only figure out how to add one for each individual usb device [14:32] from now on we will just tell people to ask zilleplus :) [14:32] lol [14:32] Humm, I've never thought to ask - but is it possible to add additional locations to the clock panel? For more localized weather and such? [14:33] andyzammy: On the USB section of the Guest VM settings, click on the picture of a USB plug with a blue circle on it. This creates the blank filter. Then anything you plug in (USB drives, webcams, whatever) will be picked up in the guest OS if it's powered on. [14:34] Hey. I need some help installing aMSN on ubuntu, can anyone help? [14:35] Sirmimer: open a terminal and type "sudo apt-get install amsn" [14:35] sudo apt-get install amsn [14:35] haha [14:35] ooh lol thats easy :D [14:35] chrisw: i think you misunderstood when i said it was the guest OS, i meant the window in which the guest OS resides. it said device unavailable. i have just tried it with the blank filter and they're the same. do i need to do some more configuration other than setting the filters?# [14:36] haha thanks alot [14:36] That was feaking easy =) [14:36] Sirmimer: remember that works for about 20000 pieces of software [14:36] Sirmimer: welcome to Ubuntu [14:36] Sirmimer: and alternatively, the graphical Synaptic program is equivalent to it [14:36] !software > Sirmimer (Sirmimer, see the private message from ubottu) [14:36] i'm engaging into web development in ubuntu and i'm asking what the options are for adding mp3s (using a self coded mp3 player or something) to a website.. *ubuntu only, no wine [14:37] andyzammy: Is the device plugged in before the guest OS hast been started, or after? You need the guest OS up and running with the Guest additions installed and running (tray icon loaded) before plugging in your USB device. If you do it before then, then host OS gets it instead. [14:37] Thanks =), yeah i have tryed synaptic a bit, but im not totally sure how to use it yet [14:37] what do you mean DB22? and also this is offtopic [14:37] the normal way would be client side flash + php/cgi [14:38] DBB22: you can allways use a flash player :) [14:38] oh.. sorry echosystm.. well, what possibilities are there to add mp3s to a website and play them back [14:38] what do you mean add mp3s to a website? [14:38] do you want to embed them on a page or just upload them somewhere [14:38] embed [14:38] Hey all, i just installd ubuntu the first linux inn my lafe and i think its realy cool, but im missing to play empire earth 2. i downloaded it in 2 rare files. Is it possible to install it, and if noth how can i downloade it for linux? sory my spelling im from norway [14:38] anyone here tried backintime app from http://backintime.le-web.org/, just made a backup even if it show it backed the system the folders are empty, is this a bug or ma i doing soemthing wrong? [14:38] well the camera is integrated into the laptop so it is always plugged in, but last time i used VB i never had a problem with it. this is the first time i've used VB-3.0 and it's just not working. i'm sure i'm doing something wrong. [14:39] using a player [14:39] Can you use microfon and webcams, for web chatten, teamspeak and such, in linux? [14:39] ok well DB22, you will need a php or perl script and a flash player [14:39] andyzammy: Have you installed the latest VBox Additions? [14:39] which i coded myself.. what options are there when using ubuntu to code such a player and embed it [14:39] alternatively, you could just hardcore urls into a flash player [14:39] is it normal to have swap memory at 0 usage if all your physical memory is not in use? [14:40] chrisw: yes, it's the first thing i did. i have a shared folder up and running. [14:40] but flash is not an ubuntu based program, and i don't like wine [14:40] Corpteddy, Empire Earth is a windows game. You'll need to emulate it, which is a buggy and time consuming problem. but I can work: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine [14:40] well then dont use linux [14:40] andyzammy: Odd. [14:40] because youre not going to get flash on linux without wine or a virtualmachine [14:41] andyzammy: Are all USB devices affected? [14:41] there is no other way yet to code an mp3 player? [14:41] no [14:41] too bad [14:41] flash is the only way to embed it in a page [14:41] DB22: Flash is native for linux. You don't need wine to run it. [14:41] mslootweg0, he means creating the flash file... [14:41] flash (the program!) [14:42] Ah righto xD [14:42] okay.. but no javascript players or whatsoever? [14:42] ! [14:42] nope [14:42] ! [14:42] anyone know? [14:42] oops [14:42] Java could technically be used, but urgh. [14:42] is it normal to have swap memory at 0 usage if all your physical memory is not in use? [14:42] DB22, you should be able to find a premade flash player on the internet [14:42] THere is a
