[00:29] Rythymbox doesn't like 2 files in my 26G of audio, it wants to load plugins (i tried but non found). How can I figure out which files are the problem? [00:29] Roasted: did you check in System > admin > hardware drivers [00:29] does ubuntu normally have any firewall at all automatically built in/enabled? [00:30] histo, no.. ha... but the wireless card was picked up automatically in the network manager. I thought considering it picked up the SSID that it meant the driver was installed? [00:30] Appetite its there but turned off by default [00:30] Appetite, no, nor is one needed [00:30] Roasted: not if it needs firmware broadcom chipsets will do everything but connect without the firmware [00:30] so it is OFF by default? good. was making sure thats not my problem with port forwarding here =\ [00:30] histo, do you know if atheros is in the same boat? [00:31] Appetite: its off by default. [00:31] as broadcom, that is [00:31] Roasted: it depends on the chipset and card. are you one the machine now? [00:31] histo, Im booting it up now.

[00:33] /join #ubuntu-it [00:33] I guess the chipset is ... atheros? [00:33] Roasted: the other thing I would do is search the forums or help.ubuntu.com for your card. They may have it listed in the tested hardware page. [00:34] ok [00:34] Typos_King: not necessarily i've seen them with broadcom chips [00:34] histo, the only thing that comes up in hardware drivers is "software modem". This is an older laptop with a 56k modem on it. :( [00:34] Roasted, can you do a lspci -nn and give a better info on it? just the one line?

[00:41] hmm...

'swhat https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Atheros says, anyway. [03:21] shingen, I will check it out.

I assume I just download whichever match up to my kernel version? UI see 14-20 here. [03:23] probably... [03:24] roasted, i didn't say that was the cure, just that that needed to be enabled to see if it was there,,, look now in System>Administrator> Hardware Drivers [03:25] Capt_Blackwood, nevermind. Always read the bits of info. I clicked ont he one for my kernel and they advised not to download this, to download the entire meta package, which was located further down in synaptic [03:25] SeaPhor, nothing there man. :( [03:25] greezmunkey, just run chromium instead of chrome [03:25] my ubuntu has been freezing a couple of times today can anyone help me with this issue [03:25] if not then choose the backports that rww and Capt_Blackwood are suggesting [03:25] ok i think i may know the problem i tried to install libpam-keyring [03:25] rww, I just installed it, and it's pulling down .20, which is the kernel version I have. What if .21 comes out? Will my wifi be un-useable? [03:25] rww, until I get the newer backports that is. Or dot hey auto come down for newer kernels too? [03:25] Roasted, just switch to it when it comes out bro [03:26] po1ter: dcnstrct: More like the auto complete feature...hmm [03:26] Capt_Blackwood, yeah, but this is my mother's laptop. I'm just wondering if this is anything I'll have to worry about if she ever does an update and the kernel comes down with it. [03:26] po1ter: FF here. [03:26] Capt_Blackwood, if it were me, I'd just do it. But when it's somebody else's problem I want to know :P [03:26] Roasted, the point is that you always make sure all that is available is enabled before you resort to a backport, and a backport before you resort to a "ndiswrapper" [03:26] Roasted, (Forgive my language) once you get to know what you're doing, Ubuntu'll be your bitch [03:26] Roasted: when a kernel update comes out, linux-backports-modules-karmic gets changed to depend on the new versioned package, so it should all be automatic. [03:27] someone help plz [03:27] SeaPhor, I understand, and I appreciate you bringing that to my attention anyway becuase I wouldn't want to pass off this laptop without restricted extras anyway. [03:27] rww, awesome, thanks. [03:27] rww, got them installed. rebooting...

[03:31] shishirdwivedi20, you do that under system - admin - users and groups. Unlock it, put in root password, and handle it there. [03:32] roasted ok [03:32] Hi.

[03:34] Roasted, try to think of it tis way.... something that doesnt work right-off with the current kernel,,, but is fixed in the next kernel, they "backport" it for the earlier kernel,,, just because you enabled backports doesnt mean you identified the "driver to backport" === phox is now known as kevalmighty [03:34] *feel [03:35] SeaPhor, oh, I understand. So since I have kernel .20, you're saying theres a newer kernel out than that may have a fix? [03:35] does anyone know a good player for .ape files? [03:35] this one crashes mpd all the time...might be libavcodec51's fault [03:35] guess no one has an answer [03:35] jack: convert it to flac [03:35] urgh :) [03:35] Roasted, i've been waiting 6 months for a kernel that supports my Saitek X52... [03:35] and i'm still waiting [03:35] sure, that would work [03:35] but is there nothing decent for ape? [03:35] someone know how to make that my system dont start the Xwindows? [03:36] Guitar-Player: disable/remove gdm [03:36] and when I type startx [03:36] can someone help me with some freeze issue on ubuntu [03:36] =\ [03:36] remove gdm is not a problem for my sistem? [03:37] i'm using ubuntu 9.0.4 and i will like it to really look cool to the eyes i tried ubuntu studio through synaptic but it is not givin me that cool and slim feel, wat should i do?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [03:37] anyone have experience with UNR? === NGurty is now known as Gurty [03:37] my ubuntu freezes all of a sudden. the mouse and keyboard do not work [03:38] SeaPhor, well, I'm kind of stuck. I have the backports in, but how do I tie the driver I need to my wireless card? This is making ndiswrapper look like a more practical choice.... [03:38] Guitar-Player: no [03:38] can i just update to a specific monitor in system display so that i can convince ubuntu this screen has high res [03:38] and the only way to get working is to turn the power off [03:39] ubottu : do you know if there is a way to fix this [03:39] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [03:39] nishanth: what are you doin prior to the freeze, mayb your system is over heating [03:39] nishanth: have you installed any new hardware or updates? [03:39] yes i notice that [03:39] no hardwares [03:39] yes my system is over heating [03:40] does anyone know anything about wireless cannot establish connection "waiting for network key" endlessly and the fails [03:40] i'm using ubuntu 9.0.4 and i will like it to really look cool to the eyes i tried ubuntu studio through synaptic but it is not givin me that cool and slim feel, wat should i do?

[03:41] mickster04: is there a a way to find what could be wrong [03:41] mickster04 how do i do that [03:41] SeaPhor, one thing came back. user space IEEE 802.11 AP and IEEE 802.1X WPA WPA2 EAP Authenticator. [03:41] yeiks: www.gnome-look.org [03:41] nishanth: if your system is over heating, cool it down [03:42] yeiks: gnomelook.org [03:42] Roasted, wouldnt hurt, install it [03:42] SeaPhor, how? [03:42] Roasted, sudo apt-get install [03:43] i got ubuntu so i could record music because there is too much lag on xp and people recommended ubuntu notebook but recording programs need high resolution [03:43] SeaPhor, what is the package name? I don't understand. I have the backports, because I knew that name. What is the name I'm using now? [03:43] nishanth, must be a couple of things I guess. If would me I think first thing to try testing is booting ubuntu without acpi 'pci=noacpi'... just a guess [03:43] to start troubleshooting [03:44] i want vlc as my default player how can i set it? [03:44] I'm having trouble connecting to my university wireless network with Ubuntu. It works with Windows, and I can connect to OTHER wireless networks with Ubuntu, but I'm just having a lot of problems with Ubuntu and the university network. [03:44] Roasted, from the output of apt-cache search atheros there should be a package name.... [03:44] DanDare: how do i do that? [03:44] SeaPhor, I see hostapd - user space IEE etc etc that I said above. The thing is, I have hostapd already installed [03:45] Hi, when I boot in my ubuntu, I get just a black screen, now I am in a chroot, when I try apt-get upgrade, I get a message about dependency errors and that some packages couldnt be configured, any suggestions?

[03:45] SeaPhor, sure [03:45] plz reply [03:46] hunt, you must fix your boot before attempting apt-get´s [03:46] DanDare: my boot? [03:46] yeah, at lest you said "Hi, when I boot in my ubuntu, I get just a black screen" [03:47] Roasted, i need to see a few things,,, the output of iwconfig ifconfig and iwlist scan can you pastebin those for me?

[03:52] Roasted, somewhere there is a hardware button or switch or FN+key to toggle the wireless.. [03:52] hey people, im having problems with making screencasts, all the colours are inverted on the screencast, any ideas? [03:52] SeaPhor, ohh. duur.

It works with Windows, and I can connect to OTHER wireless networks with Ubuntu, but I'm just having a lot of problems with Ubuntu and the university network. I'm running Karmic. [03:52] anybody here who can tell me what a loopmounted system does> [03:53] SeaPhor, just tried it. no dice. didnt get any different output. [03:53] kusum: it's a filesystem that's actually stored in one file inside of another filesystem. [03:54] Hey guys [03:54] Anyone wanna help me with ftp? [03:54] rww: What's the advantage of that, bein' curious. [03:54] Cause like I can connect to the machine I wanna access [03:54] But cannot transfer files [03:54] Quite annoying [03:54] rww: that's it ? [03:55] kusum: yes [03:55] SeaPhor, even ndiswrapper is yelling at me. It says incompatible hardware. Wow. Just wow. Really? [03:55] rww: how do we do that ? [03:55] creating a file system in a file> [03:55] greezmunkey: There are plenty of applications for it. You can mount .iso files like they were actual devices (mount -o loop /path/to/file), or do something like Wubi where you have an entire Ubuntu partition inside a file on an NTFS partition... [03:56] Roasted, how old is this box? [03:56] kusum: no idea, I've never had to actually make one before :\ [03:56] Roasted, i am thinking on this,,,, if you want to wait,,, i deal with the next-year's atheros drivers daily,,, so no reason .... [03:56] oh ok [03:56] np [03:56] rww: It would be cool to be able to mount an iso file! [03:56] rww: thanks for the info [03:56] ubottu: iso | greezmunkey [03:56] greezmunkey: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning.

However, Compiz still has F9 assigned to the Screenlets "thing" (sic). No matter how many times I tell Compiz not to have F9 assigned, it always comes back with it assigned, so I'm wondering if there's a text file or something which is telling it so? [03:59] does anyone know why usermod is /usr/sbin and passwd is /usr/bin? my understanding is /usr/bin essential binaries while /usr/sbin is non-essential does this make sense? is there some other way i should be creating users that is essential? [04:00] good morning [04:02] hey guys [04:02] how do i setup xorg? do i have to do it manually? xorgconfig and xorgsetup don't work. [04:02] eein: sbin is stuff that the system administrator generally does. Users are able to change their own passwords, so passwd is in bin instead of sbin. [04:03] I can't open up an SDHC card in Nautiuls (built-in card reader on computer) but I can read SD cards fine. Is it a problem with Ubuntu or my physical computer? [04:04] rww, ahh ok that makes sense now [04:05] is it possible to remap a numpad key using xmodmap, but only when numlock is off? [04:06] Hey guys, why would doing an ordinary boot just hang... forever but, if I open a repair prompt and, type 'GDM', the boot goes fine? Had the problem since upgrading (Jaunty -> Karmic) and, I had to re-register my gconf schema. Any ideas? === Elv13 is now known as Elv13_ [04:06] what would you use for converting an .ape to .flac?

[04:10] anyone know how to get my graphics display fixed for my dell mini 10 in ubuntu notebook? [04:10] hi hi all [04:11] where are some good sources for me to learn about terminal services and thin clients with ubuntu? [04:11] Greetings all... Hey, anyone else having segmentation faults from vlc when trying to sort the playlist? [04:12] i am having some problems with preserving file ownership an group when rsyncing remote files to my backup server. They all get the owner/group overwritten by the user on the local system. [04:12] Guys [04:13] I have tried with both --archive and --owner, --group [04:13] I have transferred the files for the new XBMC to my xbox [04:13] Still have the same bugs [04:13] It aint workin [04:14] albech: owner and group are stored by ID number, not the text string that corresponds to them. If your user ID on the local system corresponds to some other user ID on the remote system, then yeah, that'd be an issue :\ [04:15] rww, i dont really care if there should be a conflict between id and gids.. all i have to do is compress the folder after the sync for backup purpose. [04:16] rww, but the ids arent preserved at all [04:16] jack, does ffmpeg work? ffmpeg -i foo.ape foo.flac [04:17] eein: i think ffmpeg uses libavcodec for ape [04:17] and that fails :( [04:17] Hey guys, why would doing an ordinary boot just hang... forever but, if I open a repair prompt and, type 'GDM', the boot goes fine? Had the problem since upgrading (Jaunty -> Karmic) and, I had to re-register my gconf schema. Any ideas? [04:17] albech: "rsync -a" preserves ownership (amongst other things), and you'd likely have to tell your compression program to do so also. [04:17] so i need something else [04:18] rww, thats what i said in my initial message, that for some reason -a does not preserve the uid/gid [04:19] rww, never mind i didnt mention -a ;) [04:19] rww, but it still does not work as described in man rsync [04:19] hm. does anybody here have an internal usb sony mult card reader and if so how were you able to get it to work? [04:19] albech: Do "ls -n" on the local computer, look in columns 3 and 4 for the numerical IDs. Sync. Do "ls -n" on the remote computer. See if the numerical IDs match. [04:19] the SDs i am sticking in it aren't recoginized and you can see that it is seen by the mass storage driver [04:20] rww, the synced files all get owner/grp from the user on the local machine that perform the sync [04:20] albech: If they do, it's preserving the permissions, but the numerical ID -> actual user mapping is different between the two computers. If they don't rsync is being stupid for some reason. [04:20] rww, and those uids does not match [04:20] Is there a wine irc room on this server? [04:20] Blackice115: #winehq [04:20] rww: thanks :) [04:21] wtf [04:21] Segmentation fault :/ [04:21] albech: the numerical ones from "ls -n" don't match? [04:21] this thing just doesn't work [04:21] rww, nope [04:21] you would think an sd reader would be pretty straightforward [04:21] albech: what's the rsync command you're using? [04:21] hey guys, i'm having trouble adding a sound set to ubuntu for the startup sound, i've placed the soundset under /usr/share/sounds/ but it's not coming up as an option under sound preferences, any ideas? [04:21] rww, so --archive is not preserve the uid/gid [04:23] installed gnome-gmail but when i send photo's etc it asked me to login to gmail when firefox opens and then a new mail message opens without the attachment. [04:23] whats a good web dev program ? [04:24] Can anyone help me with installing ubuntu server 9.10? [04:24] StopSign: notepad++ [04:24] Chandler243: mayb? [04:24] mickster04, right on [04:24] rww, rsync --archive --rsh"ssh -l remote_user" host:/target /destination [04:25] rww, rsync --archive --rsh="ssh -l remote_user" host:/target /destination [04:25] hm [04:25] i don't understand this [04:25] the people on amazon.com said "works find in ubuntu x64.. auto-detected" [04:25] and mine isn't working :) [04:25] burkey: there is no program called gnome-gmail in Karmic or Lucid [04:25] ]mickster04: I am trying to install it to an unformatted external harddrive using a live cd, I keep having issues getting past the first reboot after install === nikolam__ is now known as nikolam [04:26] burkey: nor jaunty [04:26] i have a minimal ubuntu installed with xorg, but when i type startx the screen just goes blank. there are not errors. [04:27] albech: that's pulling from a remote computer to the local computer, right? [04:27] rww, correct [04:27] DarthPuff: did you try sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start [04:27] gnomefreak: i don't have gdm installed [04:27] maybe stop first than start [04:28] albech: I'm guessing you probably need administrative permissions to change the owner and/or group of a file. Does running that command with sudo work any better? [04:28] DarthPuff: what do you have installed than is GUI [04:28] gnomefreak: this is minimal. i just want to type startx to start it up [04:28] gnomefreak: http://gnome-gmail.sourceforge.net/ [04:28] DarthPuff: X has nothing to start by itsself [04:28] rww, i am actually running it as sudo [04:28] gnomefreak: what is gdm? [04:28] Macer: If you type tail -f /var/log/syslog in a terminal, then insert the module, does it show you anything? [04:28] rww, but it makes no difference [04:28] DarthPuff: gnome display manager [04:29] gnomefreak: ah, but i don't want gnome [04:29] DarthPuff: kde xfce or what?

[04:43] the SDHC is making it wig out :-/ [04:43] i wonder if there is some way to update the firmware on it or something [04:43] this sucks [04:43] mickster04: the only other partition is swap [04:44] rww, i wil try a few other things.. dont spend any more time on this. thanks anyway [04:44] then again. i formatted the SDHC kind of awkward last time i tried [04:44] let me reformat it in windows or something [04:44] hello everyone, i had a question: does anyone know how to use the extended desktop feature with an ubuntu and windows 7 machine? [04:44] maybe that will work a little better [04:44] DarthPuff: Does: xinit -- :0 give same? [04:44] no wait. that shouldn't make a difference. the ubuntu box should still see the disk [04:44] blah.

[04:45] can anyone tell me how to fix this? http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/ffc9f64d86.png thx [04:46] deathknight, The first step is to determine your card. In terminal: "sudo lspci" then look for network interfaces... [04:46] Mickster04: my netbook(windows 7, sda, ntfs) and the external is connected over usb (sdb, BLANK) [04:46] edbian: ok [04:46] DebianUT, that is from lucid, correct? [04:46] deathknight: lspci -nn rather [04:46] sacarlson, if you're still looking for blender download you can get it from http://packages.ubunut.com/hu/hardy/amd64/blender/download then just throw it into /var/cache/apt/archives and install with Synaptic normally [04:46] deathknight, You're looking for a number: something like "bcm 4306" [04:46] edbian: its Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g (rev 01) [04:47] note to self: in a terminal, ctrl+C does not equal copy *facedesk* [04:47] deathknight, Excellent. Now search synaptic for "BCM4312" [04:47] Chandler243: so can rub see the win 7 partition? [04:47] deathknight, Do you know what synaptic is? [04:47] there goes that download I've been doing for the past 20 minutes [04:47] edbian: sunaptic package manager? [04:47] free and open software rules!!! [04:47] Mana|Linux: Ctrl+Shift+C/V to copy/paste [04:48] mickster04: yes, and it also offers a link to load it [04:48] Thanks. =) [04:48] the firefox darkfix patch for gnome dark themes doesn't work for me, can someone help? [04:48] DarthPuff: When you installed X did you also install something like the right xserver-xorg-video-drivername for your video card? [04:48] there is no bcm4312 in synaptic package manager [04:48] deathknight, Yes: synaptic package manager. do you have it open? What did you find after searching "BCM4306" [04:48] Chandler243: well thats good, does it work when u opt to load it? [04:48] edbian: nothing [04:49] 4312 or 4306? edbian [04:49] deathknight, Which search did you do? Quick? If so do normal [04:49] genii: i915 is modprobed and seems to be working and under the video device in xorg i have intel as the driver. [04:49] mickster04: yes [04:49] deathknight, Do the number that is your card. (mine is a bcm4306 so I'm gonna make that typo alot) [04:49] ok i will do normal [04:50] Chandler243: in which case alls i can offer you is to reinstall it. there is no clue as to why it isnt working? do u have any further indications? [04:50] Hello. Is there something free for virtualization on Ubuntu 9.10? Say QEMU or something of that nature. [04:50] edbian: where do i do normal search? [04:51] cmorillo : yes [04:51] there is only quick search [04:51] cmorillo : has [04:51] cmorillo : virtualbox [04:51] deathknight, The search button next to the quick search box ;) [04:51] cmorillo : you can install [04:51] edbian: it shows nothing [04:51] deathknight, hang on a sec. I have to do some research :) [04:51] ok i found it [04:51] deathknight, ? [04:51] hi everybody [04:51] edbian: from quick search i found it [04:51] cmorillo : sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose [04:51] Nothing i can think of, thank you and I will do a new install, whats weird is ubuntu 9.10 desktop works fine, its just server, I might have hit a bad setting. [04:52] Chandler243: do a disk checkA [04:52] ? [04:52] edbian: bcmwl-kernel-source [04:52] deathknight, Is that the only package that came up? [04:52] edbian: yes [04:52] deathknight, Look at the description at the bottom. Does it talk about being a module for your card? (this is just to double check) [04:53] using my usb wlan card sometimes it gets wlan0 the othertime wlanx how can i make it stick to wlan0? [04:53] i've just installed amarok and I have no sound ! strange, vlc works, and amarok sound test works too.. but when I try to read a song I can't hear [04:53] kerim, thanks.

Then reboot the computer [04:54] edbian: do i install it? [04:55] deathknight, yes [04:55] kerim, You are saying there is a tool to convert VMware clients to VirtualBox? [04:55] genii: fatal IO error 104 [04:55] cmorillo : yes [04:55] cmorillo : but i am not so much sure [04:55] edbian: and i have some problem booting too.. doesnt boot normally.. sometimes it boots sometimes it doesnt [04:55] hi, i normally use slackware, I am currently on an ubuntu machine, did apt-get mc but mc's lines and such are all messed. like the term is set wrong, but its all set to xterm like it is in slackware, and it always works great in slackware. anyone have any idea how to fix this? i try setting term info to "linux" and no luck there either [04:55] deathknight, You're gonna have to be more specific than that :) [04:56] I'll see if I can find something about it. You have been of much help anyways kerim , thanks! [04:56] edbian: ok..let me boot first. :) [04:56] deathknight, Lemme know! I love linux :) [04:56] ok [04:56] cmorillo : not at all [04:56] wow that sucks [04:56] i guess this thing just doesn't support sdhc [04:56] what a let down.. i guess i'll get a new one.. i actually pulled this out of an older system but the thing was manufactured in 06 [04:57] cmorillo : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuMagazine/HowTo/Switching_From_VMWare_To_VirtualBox:_.vmdk_To_.vdi_Using_Qemu_+_VdiTool [04:57] sdhc wasn't around in 06? :) [04:57] edbian: bye for now. let me boot. [04:57] * wols wonders if Macer ever has a on topic ubuntu question [04:58] cmorillo : you will see . I sent url for u [04:58] cmorillo : yes found [04:58] kerim, Excellent. Thanks a bunch! [04:58] Can I please get help for ftp in ubuntu! [04:58] It keeps timing out [04:58] For no apparent reason [04:59] I need to transfer some files [04:59] cmorillo : Converting your existing .vmdk Virtual Disc Image To a .vdi File [04:59] cmorillo : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuMagazine/HowTo/Switching_From_VMWare_To_VirtualBox:_.vmdk_To_.vdi_Using [04:59] edbian: hi again.. wifi works fine :) [05:00] Guest5957: times out how? [05:00] !enter | Guest5957 [05:00] As in starts transferring, then says it can't connect to the server [05:00] Guest5957: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [05:00] deathknight, That is quite a feat :) When I started using linux 2 years ago something like that would have been EXTREMELY difficult. I'm glad we fixed it so easily :) [05:00] Guest5957, do you have access to the server? are you being banned? [05:00] And there are no network issues, it is plainly due to ftp [05:00] No, this server is like less than a metre away form the computer I'm using [05:01] I do not have a crossover cable [05:01] edbian: the boot problem i was talking is like this. : when i startup the machine.. it shows grub loading.. and later it just shows dark screen with a "_" blinking on top left [05:01] Can anyone here help with a Grub 17 error? [05:01] Can anyone here help with a Grub 17 error? [05:01] i have read the matierial stated :( [05:01] Guest5957: is _any_ data transferred from the file you try to download at all [05:01] genii: i have xinit working [05:01] hi, i normally use slackware, I am currently on an ubuntu machine, did apt-get mc but mc's lines and such are all messed. like the term is set wrong, but its all set to xterm like it is in slackware, and it always works great in slackware. anyone have any idea how to fix this? i try setting term info to "linux" and no luck there either [05:01] having trouble with synergy lagging on client. karmic server, windows 7 client. tried running as root, but that didn't help. any suggestions? [05:01] Yes, it transfers like a small amount [05:01] Guest5957, how is the system connected to your system? [05:01] Then it decides it doesn't want to talk to the server [05:01] It is on the same subnet [05:02] Guest5957, is the system's ftp port open? [05:02] gnomefreak? [05:02] does anybody know why the battery percentage on xmobar would display infinity? [05:02] It should be [05:02] It is not a computer, but an xbox [05:02] DarthPuff: Apologies on lag, it is late where I am. Did it require some other display than :0 or was it xorg.conf, something else? [05:02] Death_: fdisk -l [05:02] And the ftp settings should allow me to connect [05:02] edbian: sometimes that and sometimes, it goes to grubmenu and when i select ubuntu and press enter it again goes to same blinking thing.. and sometimes boots normally. is it that the machine is not fully supported? [05:02] Guest5957, o.O that might be your issue [05:02] I have had no issues in the past [05:02] deathknight, Not sure what the issue could be. My guess: some hardware is on the verge of failing. How long have you given it [05:02] Just today it seems to be fucking with me :( [05:02] wols: what do you mean? [05:02] I wonder if anyone can help me beef up user end security on standard ubuntu - I don't want anyone messing with any settings - including firefox - without a password [05:03] how can a make copies of windwos client folder into ubuntu server [05:03] !ohmy | Guest5957 [05:03] Guest5957: Please remember that all Ubuntu IRC channels share the same attitude of providing friendly and polite interaction with all users of all ages and cultures. Basically, this means no foul language and no abuse towards others. [05:03] edbian: installed just a couple ofhours ago. had xp with mint before. [05:03] genii: i have no idea... xinit without an xinitrc starts x, but with it it won't. also if i type startx i get a blank screen. [05:03] sr_ : u can use firefox as secure mode [05:03] sr_: then set the files permissions accordingly [05:03] Anybody know how to build a PPA source package out of the ubuntu kernel git repo? [05:03] oh my, sorry [05:03] sr_, Typically they can't mess with any settings that effect anybody but themselves. That's the whole point of the root user and sudo. Do you want them to not be allowed to make their own settings? [05:03] deathknight, What is mint for xp [05:03] sr_ : firefox -> Tools -> Start Private Browsing [05:04] DarthPuff: then check your X logs and your ~/.xsession-errors [05:04] slackin, did you perhaps make some other sort of terminal change that would be affecting mc? I just tested in both Lucid & Kamic with both xterm and gnome-terminal - and in all cases mc looked fine. [05:04] edbian: ?? i mean i had mint and xp dual boot [05:04] im having trouble getting my amd64 laptop to run at full speed when on battery. i have it set manually to run 1ghz, when i tell it go to 2ghz it doesnt listen to me. [05:04] to anyone: this is my dads computer, but other people will be using it - and he DOESN'T need anything to be changed other than me. [05:04] is there a way i can just have it run full speed all the time? [05:04] sr_ : firefox -> Tools -> Start Private Browsing [05:04] deathknight, Oh! I thought mint was some program for xp :) [05:04] wols: as long as x starts with xinit i am happy :) [05:04] edbian: :) hehe [05:04] sr_: it does. it need to have access to the history file so your dad has a browser history which he wants [05:04] deathknight, I can't offer any advice for why ubuntu gets stuck at boot. How did you like mint? [05:04] Can anyone here help with a Grub 17 error? [05:04] kerim: I have alread changed the browser settings, but I seem unable to be able to lock people from changing settings in ti [05:04] i have read the matierial stated :( [05:05] ZykoticK9: its ubuntu server i believe [05:05] and no its all default [05:05] and works great in slackware [05:05] but when ssh'd to that ubunutu machine [05:05] its all funky [05:05] i checked exports [05:05] sr_ : use guest mode when u give another person [05:05] edbian: mint was good. had all plugins and codecs from beginning.. so i got it. since i didnt have net in home. [05:05] its all correct as far as i can tell [05:05] and im pretty good with linux, used slackware since 1998 [05:05] deathknight, I see. I like Ubuntu. Always fresh and up to date :) I run debian now though for the stability [05:05] how do i list programs that are running? [05:05] sr_ : open guess session [05:05] kerim: how do I enable guest mode?

Why is ndiswrapper in the mix if I want to use ath5k? That's the output of sudo modprobe ath5k [06:07] Arsin, did you have any luck? [06:07] Ahh, yes. [06:07] Roasted: what exact output?

[06:12] wols, I get several lines back, however the bottom one catches my eye - ATH5k phy0: AR2413 chip found (MAC ) [06:12] Roasted: the ONLY driver you want is ath5k, no others. free software, in mainline kernels, no hassles [06:12] zbra, to get the different login screens [06:12] wols, if I disable WPA and I connect, what's that mean for us then? This chip supports WPA... I know that since it dual boots XP. [06:13] Roasted: you trying to use vnc? [06:13] zbrahead91-dedi, no?

[06:13] Roasted: I know that too. it means your wpa config is crap and you have to fix it [06:14] is there a clipboard program i can install to enable copy/paste in twm? [06:14] Arsin, you are legend. Thanks for the tut to downgrade GDM, Ive been wanting to do that ever since I upgraded. [06:14] wols, bingo. connected with no WPA. [06:14] DarthPuff: no need. you have select with left mouse button and paste with middle mouse button. X clipboard [06:15] Arsin: Try re-installing nvidia drivers [06:15] wols: ah, what if i don't have a middle mouse button?

[06:18] wols, my connection works when I login in tty7 (the GUI) but that's broken right now and I was wondering if I can get an internet connection [06:18] Arsin: wpa_supplicant [06:18] and dhcpd [06:18] wols, thanks [06:18] Arsin: I told you how to troubleshoot that but you ignored. your choice [06:18] Arsin: try starting/restarting networkmanager [06:19] is there a reason my laptop never wakes up after it has fallen asleep? i put Karmic on my tablet HP tx2z. [06:19] Roasted: purge wpa_supplicant and reinstall it maybe to get a clean slate [06:19] @ roasted: Got it. [06:19] wols, do you think this is something that I did?

I'm looking for support, thank you very much [06:21] SNN: did you use sudo? [06:21] network-manager [06:21] bazhang: A cd will do or should i burn it on DVD? [06:21] I'm root, so I guess you could say that [06:21] Problem: freezes. I just did the grub memtest for 8 minutes and all is fine. Isnt there some logfile I should pastebin to help you help me? (SETUP: AMD-2600+,1.2Gram,Ub9.10 squinty operator, lol) -------- [06:21] It did it 3 tmes. then not for a week. 3 times today. == I dont Undertand OOB. It does not freeze right away. It does not freeze during youtube though I think that might be involved. JonStewart froze it. Chatroulette acts like there is amissing plugin. igoogle does not function right even though I do have Javascript (checked it with some website) [06:21] rabbit1, cd is fine [06:21] SNN: telnet to port 80 if something is there, your netstat ouput is wrong (which it probably is) [06:21] zbra, it's already running hmmm. [06:21] wols, im kinda confused how to set up dual monitors if your not busy can you help me thanks [06:21] #mana [06:22] bazhang: thx dude [06:22] Arsin: use restart instead of start [06:22] wols, could not establish connection [06:22] !xrandr | randal [06:22] randal: XRandR 1.2 is the new method of running dual screens in !X.

[06:22] SNN: as bazhang said: #ubuntu+1 [06:23] wols, would a reinstallation of it not be that thorough? Or should I do a removal/purge, reboot, and reinstall? [06:23] I am trying to get on the manaworld chat page. [06:23] O.O [06:23] speiros, /join #channelyouwanttojoin [06:23] +1/join #ubuntu [06:23] bazhang, thanks [06:23] Ah, thanks [06:23] Roasted: You want to reboot for WHAT?? If it's not a new kernel or a hardware change, you probably don't need to reboot. Ask me about . [06:24] randomusr: +1 does what exactly? [06:24] it seems my c++ header files are not addded to my system path, where are the header files usually located in ubuntu? thanks [06:24] greezmunkey, typo, does nothing [06:24] meh [06:24] texens: header files are never in a system path [06:24] Heh! [06:24] when Arsin comes back tell him im off to bed [06:25] wols, I'm getting the error: iostream.h: No such file or directory [06:25] texens: do you have them installed in the first place? [06:25] wols, well when I went to remove wpa supplicant, it wanted to remove network manager. In my experience, installing or removing network manager requires a reboot [06:25] headers are usually in compiler path [06:25] texens: drop the .h [06:25] bazhang, Is this a program i download? [06:25] yes i installed g++ using apt-get.. [06:25] #include [06:25] wols, lemme give that a shot, thanks [06:25] texens: g++ has not C++ headers. it's a compiler, nothing else [06:25] randal, have you read the link yet? [06:25] I have a Microsoft Sidewinder game pad installed. Is there a way I can remap a button (or buttons) on the game pad to keyboard inputs? If so, how? [06:25] wols: bullcrap [06:26] * wols puts the sleep deprived idiot finally on ignore [06:26] dropping the .h worked like a charm..! [06:26] wols: it needs headers [06:26] wols, zbrahead91-dedi please remain civil [06:26] Without headers it is not a compiler... [06:26] thanks wols, thanks zbrahead91-dedi :) [06:26] bazhang: better yet, since this is eternal sunday here, I leave [06:27] w/e [06:27] Night peeps [06:27] I have a Microsoft Sidewinder game pad installed. Is there a way I can remap a button (or buttons) on the game pad to keyboard inputs? If so, how? [06:27] zbrahead91-dedi, strictly speaking, wols is correct -- the standard C++ library is not part of the g++ package, and thus neither are its headers. [06:27] bazhang, not all of it but some and its looks confusing lol [06:27] nDuff: no he is not -.- [06:27] zbrahead91-dedi, then why is libstdc++ a separate package? [06:28] zbrahead91-dedi, ...and libstdc++-dev [06:28] I cant understand whats going on [06:28] Is it not a dependency? [06:28] randal, well, that is a helpful guide, please read it to completion [06:28] zbrahead91-dedi, "a dependency" is a different package [06:28] If it is then the whole thinf is moot [06:28] zbrahead91-dedi, hence "strictly speaking" [06:28] lets get back on topic please [06:28] bazhang, lol i hate reading but i will thanks [06:28] :P [06:29] * zbrahead91-dedi pokes bazhang with a long stick of apology [06:29] I've been searching high and low for some help, maybe someone here can help me.

[06:41] FiveStarGandhi, care to give a synopsis [06:41] I'm trying to troubleshoot an ongoing problem here. I installed 9.10 on a laptop with an Atheros 2413 chip. It was picked up out of box, but it won't connect to my network. I tried several things, but nothing worked. However - if I remove WPA security and have NO security, I can connect... why? [06:42] this ubuntu is not mounting my windows harddisk [06:42] Like my specs ? [06:42] says. that my harddisk has so many bad sectors [06:42] how to resolve that ?

I'm getting "error cracking code" errors. Only one DVD in a large collection plays. [06:45] the gnome auto mounter is telling me to run chkdsk /f twice from a windows computer. i don't have a windows computer to do such a thing. [06:46] anyone know how to install ubuntu cloud one in kubuntu? [06:46] I've done libdvdcss2 and libdvdread4 [06:46] running gnome-gmail but when i send something via email its only opening gmail up with a new mail message with no attachment [06:47] shawnboy: did you install ubuntu-restricted-extras? i haven't had any issues with watching dvd movies since i installed that. [06:47] BaD_CrC, yes. [06:47] is asterisk much different from asterisk@home? [06:48] shawnboy: do you have both the canonical 'partner' repo and the medibuntu 'free' and 'non-free' repos in your sources.list? [06:49] pasalapu, see if this anyhow helps you http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk this website is down from here now. check if it works from your pc. [06:49] pasalapu, its a software to check health of hdd and recover safe data etc etc [06:49] BaD_CrC, I don't know. I can take a look. I remember medibuntu showing up on terminal screen at some point though. I'll look at sources.list. [06:50] all of those seem to be huge computer takeing over items, which is no what I was looking for, I just want a simple widow with an up/down button for the channels and the ability to type in the channel manualy and have the TV signal display in a window that can become fullscreen with a doubleclick. I don't need time shifting or scheduleing or program guides or playing DVDs, CDs or photo slide shows. but that said, I'm going to try [06:50] XBMC, if it works I'll be happy. [06:51] I'm trying to troubleshoot an ongoing problem here. I installed 9.10 on a laptop with an Atheros 2413 chip. It was picked up out of box, but it won't connect to my network. I tried several things, but nothing worked. However - if I remove WPA security and have NO security, I can connect... why? [06:51] I have a Microsoft Sidewinder game pad installed. Is there a way I can remap a button (or buttons) on the game pad to keyboard inputs? If so, how? [06:52] BaD_CrC, partner, yes. medibuntu, nowhere in sources.list. I remember reading Jaunty required that, but does Karmic still require medibuntu repo in sources.list? [06:52] shawnboy: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/VDtd6jgV [06:53] ok, just installed XBMC and is segfaulted... [06:54] BaD_CrC, so, if I add the medibuntu to my sources.list, then what? [06:54] bobboau, from the PPA? [06:54] BaD_CrC, update, but then what? [06:54] Hello Everyone, I am having problems with my dell computer hooking up to my TV with ubuntu 9.10 [06:54] shawnboy, you have to do 'sudo apt-get update' [06:54] from the xbmc repositories [06:54] it displays out of sync. [06:54] shawnboy, then you should be able to get whatever you are looking for [06:54] can someone help? [06:55] shawnboy: if you have the ubuntu-restricted-extras installed already, just sudo aptitude update; sudo aptitude safe-upgrade [06:55] followed the instructions here: http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=HOW-TO_install_XBMC_for_Linux_on_Ubuntu_with_a_minimal_installation_step-by-step [06:55] for 9.10 [06:55] i like safe-upgrade because it won't pull packages that don't properly resolve dependencies [06:55] BaD_CrC, ah, so presumably something will upgrade in ubuntu-restricted-extras after I put in the medibuntu. [06:55] shawnboy: there's a slight possibility [06:56] shawnboy: it doesn't hurt to try. if nothing else, you have more media stuffs in your available software list. [06:57] BaD_CrC, do I need to add some key for medibuntu from a keyserver? [06:57] 1275 nicks. that took a while to load [06:57] shawnboy, no [06:57] ShazbotMcNasty, ok. thanks. [06:57] shawnboy: you don't _have_ to, but apt will complain that they aren't a trusted source [06:58] BaD_CrC, so I could find that by searching for medibuntu I guess? [06:58] BaD_CrC, it shouldn't if it's the medibuntu repo [06:58] shawnboy, when you do "sudo apt-get update" it will tell you if you need a key [06:58] I'm trying to troubleshoot an ongoing problem here. I installed 9.10 on a laptop with an Atheros 2413 chip. It was picked up out of box, but it won't connect to my network. I tried several things, but nothing worked. However - if I remove WPA security and have NO security, I can connect... why? [06:59] it will say what BaD_CrC said "is not a trusted source" etc etc [06:59] ShazbotMcNasty: you're right. had to double check [06:59] shawnboy, the instructions for adding the keys should be on the medibuntu.org site === qwertyasdf is now known as hodges [06:59] hehe, self blog reminder. :) http://john-os.blogspot.com/2009/10/apt-sources-day-1-of-3.html [06:59] Roasted, do you put in the ssid and enter the correct password?

[07:05] well I got to say I like the GUI of moovida a billion times more than Myth [07:05] LK, you have you get a plugin [07:05] shawnboy: if worse comes to worse, fall back to vlc. vlc will play almost anything. [07:06] ShazbotMcNasty, So you can't just specify it in ctcp replies? [07:06] i just don't really care for vlc's UI [07:06] bobboau, you are funny haaa hohh lol :D :D :D :D [07:07] LK, well you can change it a little bit [07:07] !lol > abhi_nav [07:07] abhi_nav, please see my private message [07:07] but no not without a plugin [07:07] BaD_CrC, that's what I've been trying from beginning (for that very reason).

[07:09] LK, http://digdilem.org/irc/index.cgi?entry=1245754234 [07:09] BaD_CrC, yes I have. Searched those sites and the ubuntu forums and the web in general. No success so far.

The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. [07:33] Hi, can someone help me with something? [07:34] trying to install Ubuntu 9.10 amd64 from CD, but i get strip flickering on the display [07:34] I have a Belkin model F5D8053 USB wireless adapter and it doesn't work on Unbuntu. [07:34] Slart those are the firewalls i dont want, cept i havent checked out bulldog because i heard its crap [07:34] Ubuntu* [07:34] Hello? [07:35] Zenker: it's just one firewall.. the others are gui's for managing it [07:35] Can anyone help me? [07:35] Zenker: but that's the only firewall I know of.. [07:35] slart ahh unfortunately idk a thing about configuring a firewall and i dont want 2 spend all that time figuring it out [07:36] ???? [07:36] setuid on some bash script doesnt seem to be working [07:36] Zenker: why do you need a firewall in the first place? [07:36] am i forgetting some kinda access controls set on ubuntu [07:36] IS there anyone here who can help me? [07:36] aempirei: setuid doesn't work on scripts [07:37] aempirei: only binaries [07:37] L123: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Belkin%20F5D8053 [07:37] oh [07:37] Thank you. [07:37] thats right [07:37] i alwayts for get that [07:37] trying to install Ubuntu 9.10 amd64 from CD, but i just get flickering screen after i hit install ubuntu [07:37] Slart just for some basic protection incase (basically because idk much about internet security and what i need 2 protect myself ) [07:37] L123: goog is your friend.. ;) [07:37] :D [07:37] So I've been told. [07:37] its bvecause the bash shell is not +s [07:37] lol [07:37] i always forget that [07:38] its only implicit input to the interpreter [07:38] trying to install Ubuntu 9.10 amd64 from CD, but i just get flickering screen after i hit install ubuntu [on AMD 64 AthlonX2, ASUS MBD, nVidia inbuilt ] [07:38] L123: all i typed into google was "Belkin model F5D8053 USB wireless adapter ubuntu" first result.. ;) [07:38] Zenker: are you connected directly to the internet? no router? [07:38] Sorry. XD [07:38] :) [07:38] I have a bad habit of going to more knowledgeable people before I ever go to google. [07:39] slart umm, im connected to a linksys modem thingy, i guess its a router as well, it has eithernet and wireless [07:39] Do you already need to have internet on Ubuntu to do this? [07:39] Zenker: if you open a terminal and type "ifconfig", is your ip something like 192.168.0.1 ? or other numbers? [07:39] Because the adapter is the only connection to the internet that I ahve from this computer. [07:40] it shows my real ip address i think, lemme see [07:40] BenHoltz: Do you already need to have internet on Ubuntu to do this? [07:41] Slart it shows the 192.168 addr [07:41] trying to install Ubuntu 9.10 amd64 from CD, but i just get flickering screen after i hit install ubuntu [on AMD 64 AthlonX2, ASUS MBD, nVidia inbuilt ] [07:41] L123: i would assume so [07:41] Damn. [07:41] Zenker: then you don't need the firewall.. you're using NAT which actually makes it harder to reach your computer directly [07:41] slart ahh ok, thank you [07:42] rabbit1: Did you try putting as a kernel load option: vga [07:42] L123: "Get the driver Step number one is to download the driver from Belkin2019s website." [07:42] genii: no, how to ? [07:42] I can do that on Windows. [07:42] genii: i just selected install option from the initial menu [07:42] But with the $ sudo apt-get install wine [07:42] Do I need internet to use that command? [07:43] L123: you can in theroy download all the packages to a cd... [07:43] rabbit1: f6 key on the livecd then it gives the kernel loading line [07:43] Ok. [07:43] I'll try looking for the Wine Program. [07:43] ok, after that? [07:43] On a notebook, Karmic won't mount as expected - it was sda6 all the time, now it will only mount sda8 ... http://pastie.org/890958 [07:43] hell [07:43] ow [07:44] L123: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGet/Offline/Repository [07:44] My internet went out on ubuntu - nothing was changed. any ideas? [07:44] rabbit1: After it gives the kernel line, add to the end of the line: vga (but before the --- if it has those) then hit enter [07:44] BenHoltz: What's this? [07:45] L123: how to get those packages that you would need to install with apt-get onto a flash drive [07:45] genii: will make a note, so, after that nothing else i hope ;) [07:45] My Karmic won't mount as expected - I am using UUID in fstab - sda8 is a dd copy of sda6, i adjusted UUID of sda8 with tune2fs, but it still mounts sda8 as / ... http://pastie.org/890958 [07:46] BenHoltz: So I just install this onto a flash drive and I can execute the needed commands offline? [07:46] L123: yes, its explains it in the instructions [07:46] Ok, thank you so much. [07:46] how can I hide a partition from GRUB2 ? [07:47] genii: anything else ? [07:47] rabbit1: Hopefully not [07:47] Hi, I have a WinXPSP3 install, and I am trying to install Ubuntu 9.10 AMD64 using wubi. I have to HDD's, and a few logical NTFS partitions in win. However no matter which partition I send wubi to, after install and reboot into ubuntu I get a grub prompt (1.97~beta4). Anyone know what's happening here? [07:47] ben holz do u have a dvi connection on ur pc? [07:47] :D [07:47] where do i set kernel boot parameters? it mounts the wrong file system, although every fstab on my hard drive points to the real one [07:47] genii: catch u in a wile dude [07:48] My internet went out on ubuntu - nothing was changed. any ideas? [07:48] hmw: depends if grub1 or grub2 [07:48] gurb2 [07:48] i tried to read the docs, but it is very confusing [07:48] I have a quick question, is there a way to view pdf. files while in terminal? [07:49] Kludgy: happening at the initial install? [07:49] hmw remove the os prober and manually add ya entries???? [07:49] looking for some help with my issue. I have a dell desktop pc with ubuntu 9.10. I am trying to get it hooked up to my 32 inch sony tv via RGB. upon boot the bis shows the dell logo and then when it gets to where it should be loading grub the tv goes out of sync. please help! [07:49] ben holz do u have a dvi connection on ur pc? [07:50] iflema: that would be nice... i am so lost with GRUB2 i cant find anything... is it the kernel boot parameter, that has priority now? on my 9.04 it is always the fstab, which determine, which FS is mounted as / [07:50] no :( [07:50] hmw roll back to grub1 [07:50] My internet went out on ubuntu - nothing was changed. any ideas? i can't even access the modem via 198.x.x.x. [07:50] almoxarife: It happens on the first reboot after ubuntu's initial install routine. [07:50] iflema: it is a pure 9.10 setup, not my computer, working via ssh [07:50] casemods: does it work on other computers in your house? [07:50] iflema: it suddenly stareted to mount the wrong partition... i cant tell, if the user did something weird [07:51] so all yo have is one vga connection on ur pc? [07:51] woody: yes [07:51] is there a way to view pdf. files while in terminal? [07:51] ok [07:52] BenHoltz: yes, even on ubuntu on my dads pc. everything seems to work fine other than the internet. I don't remember changing any settings in ubuntu regarding the internet. [07:52] hmw: Basically you should just need to issue sudo update-grub if you changed the duplicate UUID already, and it will adjust it's entries in it's grub.conf file automatically [07:52] casemods: have you tried a reboot? [07:52] TXMatt: pdftotext [07:52] genii: that sounds promising... checking [07:52] Anyone who could tell me how to share an internet connection?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [07:54] almoxarife: cheers, that could very likely be it since my partitions are already heavily populated [07:54] casemods: have you done any updates whatsoever? [07:55] steven_, crunchbang is not supported here [07:55] !crunchbang [07:55] There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes.

Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux) [07:55] ok, my friend and i have the same laptop, and we both are using crunchbang, but if i check FPS on glxgears i get 300FPS while he gets 4000 [07:55] BenHoltz: lots, but none since I let my dad use the modem. I was downloading with transmission, then let my dad use the modem. after I got it back, it didn't work. I did shut the pc down, but I can't remember what I might have installed before restarting. [07:55] steven_, /join #crunchbang for support [07:56] ok ty [07:56] Kludgy: I did 3 re-installs before finding that web site [07:56] hello [07:56] i dont know exactly if xterm or bash causes my issue: when typing input to stdin, as we all know bash/xterm buffers the input until it gets \n and then puts the whole line towards the application [07:56] i need to disable that behaviour, does anyone know how to get every typed char written immediately? [07:56] casemods: what kind of modem? [07:56] (and, does anyone know if its bash or xterm (or both) doing this buffering thing?) [07:57] almoxarife: should maybe be in an official ubuntu install faq? or maybe it is a bug that will be fixed shortly [07:57] motorola DSL modem [07:57] Kludgy: shouda coulda, but its not [07:57] motorola DSL modem BenHoltz [07:58] Kludgy: I appreciate that someone figured it out and put it out there though [07:58] Need help with a logoff script - I've placed it in ~/.bash_logout but it doesn't execute.

[08:01] AbortD, yeah its like a sign on the bottom right corner of my screen that says "Unsupported Hardware", under an AMD logo [08:01] heh never saw that before [08:01] nvme: you are the second person to bring that up, did you install the drivers from the repos? [08:02] i am using adsl router because my providers demand, now i am giving output of adsl router to my linksys wireless router, i am able to get wireless connection, but can not access internet?

[08:19] rabbit1: Yes I am here, just 3:19am and somewhat slow to respond [08:19] no, i checked all the f keys, i dint get any options u specify [08:19] Hello, How can I fix the 'visual effects' going really slow, even just on normal [08:19] knoppies: [08:19] ruch, You could conisder try using an alternative player, I remember having issues with it, I got rid of my third party player and used a propriety one, seemed to do the trick. But that was ages ago. [08:19] Hey everyboady. I need a hand to setting up a raid zero on 9.4 does anyone have any idea's. [08:19] genii: sorry, then, take rest, u got to need sleep, i will some how manager [08:19] almoxarife, no. why do you ask?

Chatroulette acts like there is amissing plugin. igoogle does not function right even though I do have Javascript (checked it with some website) [08:20] sgashepp are u using compiz if so try disabling it [08:20] Problem: freezes. I just did the grub memtest for 8 minutes and all is fine. Isnt there some logfile I should pastebin to help you help me? (SETUP: AMD-2600+,1.2Gram,Ub9.10 squinty operator, lol) -------- [08:20] FreezingSystem, you should pastebin that. [08:20] I dont' know how do i check? this is just a fresh install [08:20] knoppies: gnash doesn't work... it says: An error occured " on youtube videos [08:21] look I've been in this channel asking this 4 times over the last 3 hours [08:21] FreezingSystem, it sounds to me like your WM manager (or desktop, whichever crashes first) is crashing. [08:21] ruch, thats the player I had issues with. I open up FF and my PC would grind to a halt. 100% CPU usage while idling. [08:22] very bad [08:22] I need some GOD DAMN HELP WITH MY GOD DAMN DISPLAY RESOLUTION. [08:22] knoppies, hi I was swimmingrat and penguinv, same problem. You were here a week ago when it first came up. -- the mouse freezes and the keyboard too. That is all I know.

Ive had that problem. I used to use AWN, if I minimized one thing, and un-minimized another before compiz had finished minimizing the first, then it used to freeze. Other than that Im not sure. [08:23] ledgendary fail. [08:23] Dolp: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:23] seriously [08:23] ye, seriously [08:23] tank you [08:23] FreezingSystem, you using compiz and/or AWN? [08:24] knoppies, the first time I came in here it had happened 3x. and the resolution was that someone looked at the logfile and told me I should take the CD out (that was just sitting there doing nothing). so I did and a week went by. -- Then it rebooted itself. After froze 3x. So I came here. -- I appreciate all help. [08:24] knoppies, I do not know what compiz or AWN are. [08:25] FreezingSystem, Im happy to help. Im no guru though. [08:25] having problem in stalling 9.10 on AMD [08:25] Hey, even I can answer _some_ wuestions. [08:25] FreezingSystem, AWN stands for Avant Window Navigator (or something similar) its a Dock that looks a little like the macOS dock. [08:26] FreezingSystem, compiz is a package that does all the fancy animations on your windows, its a windows manager. [08:26] I want to completely clear my account here, http://web.xat.com/chat_groups.html it says it is only clearable by destroying my flash cookies, how do i destroy all my cookies ever? [08:26] hey has anyone noticed with ubuntu server (for sure on 64bit version cause it just happened) if you sudo su right after login it does not ask for password sometimes [08:26] Zenker, this is just the effects option under 'appearence', is that compiz? [08:26] how can i get a list of packages from apt-get? [08:26] Dolp, reformat. [08:27] if anyone knows a solution for my SLOW Flash Player, please help me [08:27] sgashepp no compiz is not installed you would of had 2 install it, so thats a no, so idk how 2 fix your issue, try asking again [08:27] sgashepp, yes, I think. but you can get an advanced options for compiz by installing a package [08:27] do anyone know if there is a way to set up automatic port forwarding (UPnP) for a program that does not support it itself (i.e. using an external program or something like that)? [08:27] Can anyone recommend a good used laptop I should be looking for in the $200-$250 range on ebay? [08:28] geoffmcc, interesting. [08:28] knoppies, how [08:28] sgashepp compiz is additional effects you can install its called Compiz-Fusion [08:28] compiz is installed by default [08:28] problem with nvidia, kindly help me to install 9.10 64 bit [08:28] i even just did a fresh install and it has happened it past and i considered saying something [08:28] Dolp, you probably dont want to reformat your PC, but a quick google search will tell you how. [08:28] if anyone knows a solution for my SLOW Flash Player, please help me [08:28] gnomefreak oh thats right its ccsm thats not installed by default X) [08:29] knoppies, how do i remove flash cookies then? [08:29] it doesnt happen all time but def sometimes and i think maybe its a bug. the user i log into has priv to do it but im not sure if it would let a non priv to do it [08:29] Zenker, I see. I think it is working fine though, I was thinking it has something to do with video drivers. [08:29] Zenker: correct simple-ccsm is not installed by default [08:29] Dolp, idk. I would assume they are kept where your browser cookies are kept. [08:29] sgashepp doubtfully, you would probably have more issues then a slow display but idk [08:30] sgashepp: use jocky-gtk to install thema nd it will enable compiz for you. install in other ways it may not [08:30] anyone have troubles with alltray where the icon doesnt have a clear background and its white [08:30] knoppies, where [08:31] Dolp, you sound paranoid. What browser do you use? [08:31] Dolp, ~/.mozilla/firefox//cache [08:31] nobody?? [08:31] gnomefreak, the effects are working though, atleast trying to, they are just very slow. would installing that fix? [08:31] AbortD, I kinda stopped using alltray because it took too much effort. [08:31] sgashepp: no [08:32] people, help me in installing 9.10 on AMD 64 athlon x2 with nvidia chipset [08:32] AbortD, I suggest using PowerMenu under windows though (its similar, with transparency and always on top options) [08:32] i just want my thunderbird to stay open knoppies and it wont where the envelope programs are [08:32] rabbit1, System / Admin / Hardware Drivers - enable the nvidia driver [08:32] rabbit1: install as normal than use system>admin.>hardware drivers to install nvidia drivers [08:32] AbortD, Im not sure what you mean by where the envelope programs are. But I normally leave thunderbird on its own virtual desktop. [08:33] AbortD, you probably referring to the notification tray. [08:33] ys [08:33] yes [08:33] knoppies, no and no. Ubuntu wouldnt let me try any window animations. (I use, terminal, bhrome, firefox, xchat. occasionally I try exiga. gedit oftn. once in a blue moon gimp. I play musica with m [08:33] ShazbotMcNasty, nothing [08:33] fffffffff === texens is now known as texens|away [08:34] knoppies, but I am falling asleep sitting here, alas. [08:34] Anybody else have an idea why the video performence is so slow? my card is ATI X1600. [08:34] http://xat.com/ <---this is what I'm trying to clear my cookies on. [08:34] AbortD: thunderbird wont use the notification try until version 3.1 as it now stands [08:34] sgashepp, no answer on your LP question yet eh? [08:35] i have it in the tray gnomefreak [08:35] enth maira [08:35] gnomefreak: i have the CD, but i my screen does nothing other than displaying color strips and flickering [08:35] FreezingSystem, Im not sure how to fix it then. Im not even sure whats causing it. I would suggest (after getting some sleep) that you backup your data and try a reformat. If that doesnt help then idk how to help. I cant think of what might be causing it. Especially if you dont have compiz effects running. [08:35] ZykoticK9: i have the CD, but i my screen does nothing other than displaying color strips and flickering [08:35] AbortD: ok i thought you meant indicator-* [08:35] ZykoticK9 nope. [08:36] i wish i could keep it open with alltray without a white background to the icon gnomefreak [08:36] Thanks knoppies I'll have to get another hard drive first. sigh. [08:36] rabbit1, when you are booting the LiveCD you are getting the strips/flickering? Do you know what card it is? [08:36] rabbit1: either you dont have enough ram or cpu or the installer is broken try re burning it using lowest speed possibile or you may want to install using the alternative installer [08:36] night all === FreezingSystem is now known as tripelb [08:36] AbortD: oh alltray thats different [08:37] tripelb, you could try borrow a friend's external. But yea. Im not sure whats causing it. Sleep well [08:37] yeah i have it in the indicator thing but it wont stay open in it [08:37] gnomefreak: i don think its problem of files, coz, even when i tried with well working ubuntu studio CD, the screen effect was same, [08:37] even if i could hide it from the bottom bar it would work how i want [08:37] gnomefreak: i got 2 GB DDR2 RAM [08:37] then i could get my emails with it open [08:38] ZykoticK9: nvidia card? u mean ? how shall i find that? [08:38] I did some configuring but my client computer still isn't able to connect through my linux machine [08:38] HELP ---UNABLE TO MOUNT MY USB LITE DVD RW AFTER LOADING MY UBUNTU 9.10 LIVE CD [08:38] rabbit1, if you can use a terminal "lspci | grep -i vga" [08:39] hi all , perhaps a noob q , can i lock a workspace(with the applications running) and keep the others active [08:39] ZykoticK9: 00:12.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GeForce 7050 PV / nForce 630a (rev a2) [08:40] I want my computers to connect to my linux machine wirelessly, and have the linux behave as a router -- that is, projecting the signal from the ethernet cable to the wireless [08:40] ZykoticK9: some color lines fickering like " ||||" right after i press "install ubuntu" [08:40] rabbit1, not sure if this still applies but https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-180/+bug/425372 [08:40] how would i setup something like that? [08:41] !ics | cosi [08:41] cosi: If you want to share the internet connection of your ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php [08:42] I've read through those documents and tried it, but it still doesn't seem to work [08:42] #crunchbang [08:42] then i guess you either did somthing wrong.. or the docs are old/missing somthing.. [08:43] cosi: ages ago i read/followed the 'ip masquerading howto' that is basically the same thing.. but its more indepth. It may have some trouble shooting tips [08:43] I've read through those documents and tried it, but it still doesn't seem to work/ [08:43] oops [08:44] pressed up by accident [08:44] cosi, you might want to have a look at http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/how-to-easily-share-your-wireless-connection-in-ubuntu-9-10/ [08:44] the ip masq howto on ubuntu website or elsewhere? [08:44] thanks [08:44] Dr_Willis: hi, i am trying to install 9.10 64, but getting screen flickering at startup, any idea to solve this? [08:45] anyway, thanks. I'll go make a friend. craigslist anyone? [08:45] ZykoticK9: no use, its all kinda different [08:45] rabbit1, not surprised - that bug was from alpha/beta or something [08:46] !ot | tripelb [08:46] tripelb: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [08:46] rabbit1: no idea. Try the alt-cd if yoyu cant insall [08:46] cosi: check tldp.org [08:46] Dr_Willis: y is this alternate CD used? [08:46] is there a way to hide programs from task bar? [08:47] rabbit1: it uses a text based installer.. no gui/X to m ess up [08:47] ZykoticK9: if that was a bug of alpha beta, and yet not solved ? [08:47] rabbit1, i can't answer that? don't know. [08:48] is there a way to hide programs from task bar?? [08:48] oops [08:48] i meant to say nobody [08:49] AbortD: you just want them hid but not removed? [08:49] just one hid [08:49] or removed [08:49] with the program open [08:49] There is something called xat (http://xat.com/) that somehow creates an account when you login, it saves your name and password and automatically switches to it for you, I want to deleate the name/password, how do i do this? I've deleated my cache and cleared my cookies, now hwat? [08:50] AbortD: want it removed, like for ever? [08:50] yeah [08:50] Dolp, that's it [08:50] will there be a way to use the music store in Lucid without using rhythmbox? [08:50] if i could bring it back that would be nice [08:50] there is nothing more than clearing your cache and cookies [08:50] ShazbotMcNasty, you sure? [08:50] you can clear your saveed passwords [08:50] then how did it do it? [08:50] AbortD: theres a few tools that can force an app to minimize/ to the systray so you dont see them in the window-list. but i forge tthe name. Check the package manager [08:50] but you probably already did that [08:51] Dolp, restarting your computer will probably fix it [08:51] i dont want it in the bottom tray thing [08:51] i dunno what to search for in it heh [08:51] AbortD: sys>admin>synaptic , look for the package to be removed and remove, its gone [08:51] no i want the package to run [08:51] but i dont want the window in the tray [08:51] dr_willis: my computers are now connected to my linux machine but not to the internet [08:52] I am using ubuntu jaunty. I have adsl router as my provider requires it, I have got my new linksys wireless router. I am connecting output of adsl router to internet plug of wireless router. Problem is i can get the wireless connection to my router, but can not access the internet?? [08:52] cosi: yu are half way there then it seems [08:52] AbortD: you want it, just don't want to see it? [08:52] yes [08:52] in the tray that is [08:53] AbortD: tray? [08:53] ShazbotMcNasty, where is my cache and cookies again? [08:53] bumbblebee, using ethernet from your computer to router? [08:53] I would totally tell you, but I'm not on linux right now [08:53] hi guys [08:53] the bottom widing manager in gnome [08:53] you cache is at ~/.mozilla/firefox//cache [08:53] Dolp, or /tmp/ [08:54] close firefox [08:54] restart your computer [08:54] i'm still not clear how i can share my internet connection, is there a terminal command i have to use? [08:54] maybe something to do with ip? [08:54] AbortD: thats the window-list panel applet. I mentioned theres a way to make windows minimize to the systemtray instead of the wind0w-listing - and i think it also hides them from that windiw-list [08:54] skrite, i did not get you? [08:54] cosi, check out a program called firestarter [08:54] cosi: what was your que? [08:54] cosi: all these guis are doing are various terminal commands [08:55] k [08:55] AbortD: I have a top panel and a bottom panel, in the middle I have other icons, that sound familiar? [08:55] bumbblebee, you connect an ADSL modem to a linksys router then from the router to your computer? [08:55] jzacsh: i'm just trying to forward the internet connection i have from an ethernet cable going into my linux machine to my other computers wirelessly [08:55] guys I need a little help, Ubuntu 9.10 has my printer driver but ubuntu 10.4 does not? how can i install it? [08:55] skrite, eth1 [08:56] im just going to look for a email notification program [08:56] bumbblebee, pastie the result of typing ifconfig in a terminal [08:56] brando753: was 10.4 released already/ [08:56] AbortD: theres several of thjose in the repos also. [08:56] no its the beta [08:57] Why the Heck did Inkscape recomment and install SKencil??!?? [08:57] whats a good one [08:57] cosi, hmmm, gets a little sticker with wireless. you want to serve wireless to your home network from the computer connected to the internet? [08:57] I have a compile error it says you need curses/ncurses header and library files where can I find these files please [08:57] brando753: check the package manager - it may need some extra packages installed. [08:57] yes [08:57] is there nobody in this world, who has install 9.10 64bit on AMD athlon 64 bit, ??? [08:57] rabbit1: it works fine on my 2 amd 64 machines [08:57] rabbit1, i have [08:57] skrite: yes [08:57] rabbit1: using my nvidia 5500 and 8800 video cards [08:58] rabbit1 did last week [08:58] becker_11: the ncurses dev pckg ? [08:58] then, i have the same hardward, whts the bid deal for me, [08:58] *with me? [08:58] skrite,http://pastebin.com/ZJWetzK0 [08:58] rabbit1: you stated you had video issues.. so its proberly a VIDEO CARD issue not a cpu issue [08:58] cosi, never dont that before, but should be possible [08:58] i've done it before with my mac machine [08:58] almoxarife: I guess so yeah [08:59] Ok this is a silly question. I am running on the eee 1000 HD and I unwittingly chose to upgrade then partial upgraded for the beta. Now I have a screen saying something about the plymoth splash screen error codes and then sends me to essentially xserver waiting for a log in. Now though through a number of commands. It looks to be running in the Terminal with color, Any ideas? [08:59] i just want to do it with my linux one now [08:59] Dr_Willis: i dono, its graphic card or video card, i just get a screen of colorful vertical lines [08:59] becker_11: I installed it thru synaptic [08:59] almoxarife: I'll just check [08:59] rabbit1: graphics IS the video card.. this is why i suggested tring the alternative installer cd. That way it dosent use the fancy gfx/card for the install [08:59] there are no extra packages in the package manager [08:59] rabbit1: what is your video card? [09:00] 00:12.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GeForce 7050 PV / nForce 630a (rev a2) [09:00] skrite, wireless uses eth1 while wired eth0 [09:00] bumbblebee, does not look like an ethernet connection exists on eth1 [09:00] shinjitestroch: #ubuntu+1 [09:00] Dr_Willis: 00:12.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GeForce 7050 PV / nForce 630a (rev a2) === andy is now known as Guest5412 [09:00] bumbblebee, ah [09:00] rabbit1: and that card may be so new the instaler dosent like it.. so im back to suggesting trying the alternative installer cd [09:00] skrite, i am right now on wired , wireless is not connected [09:01] bumbblebee, and you are trying to get the wireless working? [09:01] skrite, yeah [09:01] almoxarife: I've got ncurses-base, ncurses-bin and ncurses-term installed but it still gives an error [09:01] what ubuntu are you running? [09:01] Dr_Willis: download that now again ? [09:01] skrite, jaunty [09:02] o gosh, will spend my entire life downloading ;) [09:02] rabbit1: again? You allready have the alternative installer cd downloaded? Its a different cd then the desktop one. [09:02] Endasil what was that about? [09:02] rabbit1: you could just go test out the 10.04 rele4ase.. if you are feeling brave [09:02] Dr_Willis: yes doctor, i have to download the alternate cd [09:03] shinjitestroch: That's a channel for help with the next release of ubuntu. Assuming that's what you mean by beta, was 10.04/lucid [09:03] just make sure you update it [09:03] dr_will10.04 64 bit? u think it wont have the same video problem? [09:03] Oh ok got it. [09:03] Does your network manager recognize eth1 as a wireless? [09:03] Dr_Willis: u think it wont have the same video problem? [09:04] becker_11: libncurses5-dev ?? [09:04] hi, i've just upgraded my system to 10.04. After some reboots, i've got a white screen. I have used before Fedora 12 and i had the same problem. I think the problem it's caused by Xorg. Am i write ? Btw: i'm getting white screen when rand(1,3) == 3. [09:04] nice [09:04] join/ubuntu +1 [09:04] right [09:04] shoot [09:04] skrite, yeah [09:04] it does [09:04] rabbit1: No idea. the alt-cd does NOT use X for the installer. It uses the console. so there just the text dialogs.. no X = no grapphix issues . [09:05] it shows the available connections also [09:05] rabbit1: if 10.04 has a problem.. then you can file a bug on it. and it might get fixed [09:05] rabbit1, Lucid may or may not fix the your video problem (or introduce a totally different one) if you're tempted to try it though download the daily and not the beta from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ [09:05] bumbblebee, so knows it's wireless, sees the router wirelessly, but cannot establish a connection. [09:05] Dr_Willis: ok, will load all the iso images available and try all the options, ;) [09:05] rabbit1: yea. use the daily build. :) thats the best. if you want to test 10.04 [09:05] almoxarife: I didn't have the name of the package but I'm installing the one you just mentioned now [09:06] almoxarife, what's for libncurses5-dev, to replace conio.h ? [09:06] skrite: i still cant connect to the internet from my other machines [09:06] after starting up internet share with firestarter [09:07] skrite, no, my machine gets the ip, but i can not browse, i can connect to router interface through wireless mode, but can not browse, like google.com, it say can not resolve host? [09:07] IonutB: ask becker_11 [09:07] ok, open a terminal and try to ping a website by ip address [09:07] bumbblebee, may be a problem with dns [09:07] what is zsync ? [09:07] bumbblebee, can you ping the router? [09:07] almoxarife: it compiled! thankyou btw I am compiling the music player Mocp [09:08] skrite,ok let me try but i have to disconnect xchat, brb [09:08] becker_11: you might want to check out pckg 'check-install', takes the mess out of make-install [09:09] cosi, are you using firestarter just to serve static ip? or trying to release dhcp to your other computers in the LAN? [09:09] bumbblebee, ok [09:09] whatever makes my other machines connect to the internet T_T [09:09] Dr_Willis: and ZykoticK9: will go with daily build, i dono what will i do, i can test only if i successfully install it at the first place, [09:10] almoxarife: okay will do thanks [09:10] cosi, other machines linux also? [09:10] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/ZynGxDma [09:10] macosx [09:10] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/ZynGxDma [09:10] oops sorry for the doublepost [09:10] but can someone help me with this issue --->http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/ZynGxDma [09:11] cosi, can your network preferences on the Mac see the interface?

[10:22] Hi anyone knows how to get VLC working on Ubuntu 9.10?

Done some research and found that it's the nvidia-graphics-drivers-180-180.44 driver, which I have downloaded and on my desktop....Now what? XD [11:06] linux: the command is "sudo apt-get install $package_name" not sudo apt-get $package_name [11:06] Aedan: what video card do you have [11:06] when i setup mythtv .it shows no pnp backends found [11:06] aaron_liuj: have you set one up ? [11:06] Let me c&p it for ya :) [11:06] Aedan: don't need a C&P [11:06] ikonia, oh ,sorry . you are right! [11:06] Aedan: just need the make/model [11:06] yes [11:06] i have down [11:06] i have done [11:06] aaron_liuj: what backend are you using [11:07] Nvidia 6100 nForce 420 [11:07] Sorry: GeForce 6100 nForce 420 [11:07] localhost [11:07] so, after installing the packages ZykoticK9 told me to and restarting the application I'm using, instead of playing the file, it just crashes ... is this something I can fix? [11:07] Aedan: ok - so if you go to "system -> administration -> hardware drivers" menu, you'll see an option to install the nvidia driver, use that [11:07] aaron_liuj: ok - so what backend system are you using ? [11:07] frxstrem, what media player are you using? [11:08] ZykoticK9: it's not a media player I'm having trouble with, it's the program called "Subtitle Editor" [11:08] and what file from where? [11:08] Badass man, thanks. I started using Linux with Fedora...and while it seemed cool, totally wasn't for someone as vanilla as me [11:08] frxstrem: you are trying to play a file with subtitle editor? that makes no sence. :) sounds like its defaulting to the wrong app [11:09] does ubuntu automatically run something like locate and keep a database of files? [11:09] Dr_Willis: no - I am trying to *add* subtitles to a video [11:09] inertial: yes it does [11:09] inertial: locate is run at regular intervals to update it's internal db === Destine is now known as EleanorC [11:09] frxstrem: ahh. ive only toyed with that in mencoder and ffmpeg [11:09] Ikonia: Can I do the same thing with my other drivers? Like my built in nic and stuff? [11:09] any idea where locate stores the database, and if there's an easy way to read through it? [11:09] i down konw how to use mythtv [11:09] inertial: check the man pages for updatedb. and locate. perhaps. [11:10] Or do I have to specifically download everything and use this tool to install? [11:10] Aedan: no, that tool is only used for 3rd party closed source driver products, such as nvidia/ati/certain wirless cards [11:10] frxstrem, are you now able to play the video file in a media player? [11:10] aaron_liuj: it has its own homeage/docs and channel on #mythbuntu [11:10] aaron_liuj: the mythtv website has excellent documentation [11:10] inertial: unlikely - its not a text format if I remember correctly [11:10] ZykoticK9: well, that wasn't the problem in the first place (I'm using VLC and it played there before I installed those packages) [11:10] clear [11:10] frxstrem, well you could remove Ubuntu-restricted-extras I guess? back to where you started. === EleanorC is now known as Destine [11:11] frxstrem: does your software support .mov? [11:11] almoxarife: I have no idea - haven't tested it yet [11:11] I am thinking about installing newst irssi version from irssi's repos, but there are for Debian, Does debian repos works in ubuntu or will it give me possible erros/fails? [11:11] Ikonia: Cool, thank you. Had a problem with my USB hard driver earlier, but seems to be fine now :) Ubuntu forums seem to be a bit better for me too. Fedora was hella over my head. [11:12] drive, not driver [11:13] Also, is there a way for me to emulate windows to play some of my games now that I have my gfx driver? [11:13] ZykoticK9: I removed ubuntu-restricted-extras, but it still crashes :s guess I will have to find another way around it [11:13] Also, can I delete these files I downloaded? [11:13] Or do I have to keep them on my desktop? [11:14] frxstrem, sorry man - ubuntu-restricted-extras really shouldn't cause problems, but i guess in this case it did [11:14] (used the tool, havent restarted yet) [11:14] I just did a restall of ubuntu 9.4 the installtion colmpete no probs there but when i restarted it like the installer wants. It just say's GRUB no error message any ideas [11:15] I'll change a bit my question: Do Debian repos works usually fine in ubuntu? [11:15] Kudos to all you guys helpin us btw ;) [11:15] overmind no [11:15] rsk: So irssi repos for Debian won't work in ubuntu, right? [11:15] Can I delete these files btw? The drivers I downloaded? Or did the system -> Admin -> Drivers tool use them? [11:15] overmind why would you want a already included program in ubuntu, and get a debian package instead? [11:16] rsk: Because is a newst version, and I would like test it [11:16] i need some help: every time I log in to KDE, I get a message that plasma has crashed. I have no menu, no system tray, no right-click menus, etc. [11:16] overmind download the source instead [11:16] ( i did some updates that needed a restart, and this has been happening since the restart) [11:17] overmind: the .deb *may* work - they often do) - but never add a whole debian repo to you ubuntu system [11:17] Aedan: you can remove them, they where not used [11:17] Thanks again! I'm sure I'll be frequenting quite often as I learn this os :) Have a great evening [11:18] guntbert: Well, I won't do it, just a programm repo for Debian, because it isn't for Ubuntu [11:18] overmind: follow rsk's advice [11:19] sorry its me again... i have all the codecs are in your page ubottu but i can not see a dvd why [11:19] !dvd > israel [11:19] israel, please see my private message [11:20] guntbert: Sure :) - thanks for info rsk and guntbert [11:20] very strange, ubuntu firestarter is blocking udp that the hardware firewall is suppose to not allow in in the first place, is that normal?

Then see if you can use ffmpeg with aac. If not, then: do basically this http://blog.guesny.net/index.php/2008/06/07/ubuntu-vs-aac-round-1/ but you should also do a « dch -i » before running dpkg-buildpackage so you can append "~someguy1" to the package version and explain your changes.

You can specify parameter for driver that is built into the kernel image by passing "driver.parameter=value" option to kernel command line. Just in case if somebody was interested. [12:19] mozilla.org is the right place to get pissed off: every versione of firefox there comes with cairo disabled so the fonts look ugly [12:19] jrib: in groups... but i dont remember so...

[13:35] #militiaradio [13:35] galorin cant you just change the last letters e.g png jpg ect. [13:36] billy, umm no. each file format stores it's data differently.

Thanks, gartral [13:42] maybe i'll get brave and try it [13:42] autoclesis__: on second though, you -might- find a prebuilt patched version up on getdeb [13:42] :] [13:44] hey guys [13:44] what's up?

[14:28] i know - the image in attachment - it looks like video card owerheat, but it's not an owerheat of vc processor. i am sure about that, because i had a vc that was damaged by owerheating. this is not that case.

[14:29] Britany_okla, make love whit it) [14:29] Having a small issue with upgrading the e1000 driver, maybe someone here knows where it is going wrong. It compiled the module correctly and placed it in /lib/modules/2.6.31-21-generic-pae/kernel/drivers/net/e1000/ which is also the right folder for kernel I'm running on. However, no matter what I do, rmmod modprobe reboots etc... it keeps running the old version when I check with lshw. My suspicion is that it's using the kernel's integrate [14:29] I couldn't afford to buy windows and this is awesome [14:29] HowardtheDuck: that should be common amongst all IRC clients.. if it doesnt autocomplete it's crap [14:29] WoAnerges, this is not the correct channel; #ubuntu+1 as was suggested before [14:29] I just installed bind9, and I try to run it from /etc/init.d/bind 9 star, but it doesn't start. [14:29] antivirtel : is this enough ? [14:29] gartral: yah i thought so too, but he did have just "How" come through in the chat so.... i dunno hehe [14:29] but [14:29] antivirtel : and u can watch file changes with a process [14:29] kerim: that makes a lot of "premission denied" [14:29] antivirtel : if i remember name right tmpwatch [14:29] I run "ldd `which named`", then I found out that a bunch of libraries couldn't be foun, but they are installed. [14:29] but they said that #ubuntu is more correct channel [14:30] gartral: I don't use xchat tho so i dunno [14:30] antivirtel : run with sudo [14:30] antivirtel : sudo ls -lR / | grep yournamehere 2>/dev/null | less [14:30] antivirtel : is this enough ?

[14:31] HowardtheDuck, it was becaue i pressed enter not tab lol [14:32] How can I force to load a driver module (newer version) if the driver is already present in the kernel? [14:32] Orion84 unload the module, load the new one. done. [14:32] kikamoocow :D [14:32] kerim it lists me something but when is the end ? :O [14:33] rsk, thanks, but I alrdy tried that, somehow it keeps using the old version, don't know why [14:33] Orion84: not sure if that is safe for you - but you can unload the old one with sudo modprobe -r [14:33] guntbert I tried with rmmod, that's prolly why it failed for me, unless it does the same after all, I'm going to have a try. thx so far [14:33] Orion84: what driver, how did you get a "new" version, and why? [14:34] Folks - I'm new to Ubuntu and 9.10 is freezing on my wife's Dell laptop after 10 - 20 mins use. Any ideas why? [14:34] antivirtel : if u search a specific directy.Change the directory with it.It is searching entire folder on system [14:34] shurene overheating [14:34] billy: ah okay ;) [14:34] antivirtel : sudo ls -lR /etc | grep yournamehere 2>/dev/null | less [14:34] antivirtel : like this. for etc [14:34] hmm [14:34] Overheating? [14:34] yes [14:34] guntbert, the e1000 driver, I downloaded it from the intel site and compiled it using the manual. it seems to place the new e1000.ko file correctly however lshw returns me the old version number after trying to unload and reload or reboot. [14:34] antivirtel :u can find monitoring tools for linux . File changes history [14:35] HELP MY SUDOERS FILE GOT CORRUPTED on my ubuntu 10.04 beta 1 while editing using sudo visudo using vi [14:35] back in the day, i had to script my own nick completion into mirc. and by 'script' i mean copy and paste someone else's lol [14:35] antivirtel : for ubuntu .

[14:35] joppan, #ubuntu+1 for lucid [14:35] guntbert cause there is a known issue with the drive that I [14:35] some..guy,,from somewhere.. [14:36] WoAnerges: in #ubuntu+1? I cannot believe [14:36] guntbert, I'm experiencing. It's stuck at 10mb/s however it should be gbit. It was running correctly on a older version and on other operating systems [14:36] yes, i know! me toooo!! [14:37] ok, i've got this tarball of snes9x super nes emulator, can someone tell me what to do to install it [14:37] @ rsk: Did you say overheating? [14:37] HowardtheDuck, just install from repos instead [14:37] guntbert, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/309211/comments/13 this link describes the workaround [14:37] bazhang: no go. zsnes and fceu won't work. awful sound problems. [14:37] Orion84: let me look... [14:37] for NES i'm using mednafen, and it seems to be working fine, i just need a SNES alternative now [14:38] I've heard mame is also good, don't know if it works with SNES though [14:38] only thing is, i can't find a debian package of anything other than ZSNES, and i have no idea how to install tarballs [14:39] dunno what's up, fceu and zsnes worked great in 9.04. *shrug [14:39] HowardTheDuck: Try tar -xvf [14:39] cmpsalvestrini: thanks, i got it extracted at least though (nautilus does that for me hehe) [14:40] Howard, there should be either an INSTALL file or a README with instructions on compiling [14:40] usually its ./configure, make, sudo make install [14:40] hm ok [14:41] HowardTheDuck: If it's a binary tarball there should be no need to do anything else but to type ./ on a terminal [14:41] otherwise yeah, ./configure, make, sudo make install or some close variation of the above [14:41] that's true, but you might have issues with binary tarballs if the build system was significantly different [14:41] Orion84: did you miss the "install" in the make line? and make without ./configure seems strange, are there errors in the make process ? [14:41] where could i find a list with the parameters for GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT ? [14:41] HowardtheDuck: if you are having sound problems in zsnes, see this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=643760 installing installing libsdl1.2debian-all worked for me [14:41] there are a ton of .cpp, .h files in this folder, with a unix, mac, win, i386 subdirectories [14:42] no help, readme, or install files in this root folder, going into i386 [14:42] any MAKEFILEs? [14:42] crawler: thanks i'll try that now! [14:42] cmpsalvestrini: not that i can identify [14:42] probably cd to unix [14:43] hmmm... === jz is now known as Guest11421 [14:43] ok cool. unix has a makefile and install.sh [14:43] HowardTHeDuck: where did you find the aforementioned tar? I'd like to DL it so I can take a look at it [14:43] cmpsalvestrini: let me find it in my history. :) [14:43] supposedly a very good snes emulator [14:43] but im going to try to fix the repository ones too [14:44] Google is our friend. [14:45] Folks - I'm new to Ubuntu and 9.10 is freezing on my wife's Dell laptop after 10 - 20 mins use. Any ideas why? [14:45] http://code.google.com/p/snes9x-gtk/ [14:45] surene: any panic messages? or does the gui just stop? [14:46] Hm, I found out that in Karmic due to LP #77010 the pc speaker got disabled. But as far as I read from the comments, there should be a gnome alert sound as replacement. But for me this isn't true, I hear just nothing :-( [14:46] guntbert yes I followed the exact manual which was included with the download from the intel site. I also see the date of the e1000.ko file changed after the upgrade. The is an error at the end of the process however, that was no issue before and for several people which I could find. The error is "cannot write to /var/cache/man/cat7/e1000.7.gz in catman mode". Also I had this issue with a lower version of the kernel aswell and fixed it the s [14:46] @ Just seems to stop. None of the lights work any more, like CAPS LOCK. [14:46] shurene: it's probably overheating. i had this problem in the past, and blew the dust out with a can of compressed air [14:46] how can i part a channel with a part message in irssi ? [14:47] i tried /wc #chan msg [14:47] gurntbert, tomorrow = this morning [14:47] @ crawler: Not sure it's overheating. Laptop has worked fine under Windows in the past. [14:47] o652: try the standard IRC command /pleave or /part === james is now known as Guest47425 [14:47] shurene: in the past, but what about recently [14:47] @ crawler: Only occurs now that I've installed Ubuntu. [14:47] laptops tend to pull a lot less energy under windoze [14:47] Orion84: then I don't know how to help you -- sorry [14:48] @ crawler: Only occurs now that I've switched it to Ubuntu. [14:48] guntbert, ok I'll look further then. Thanks for you effort so far though. [14:48] Orion84: Good luck :-) [14:48] shurene: < jack> laptops tend to pull a lot less energy under windoze [14:49] you'd hit the same problem with fbsd, gentoo etc [14:49] shurene: probably a dkernel issue imho. [14:49] *kernel, not dkernel [14:49] @ jack: So laptops can't be used with laptops?! That can't be the answer surely? [14:49] * So Laptops can't be used with Linux? [14:49] HowardTheDuck: did you pull the source tarball directly? [14:50] of course they can [14:50] but if they like to overheat quickly, you don't have much fun [14:50] shurene: I have an asus laptop running Ubuntu, never had problems [14:50] try jolicloud for netbooks [14:50] The wikis seem very casual about such problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/Freeze [14:50] shurene: i had the same issue on a dell inspiron 5100, what model are you using? [14:51] @ crawler: Inspiron 6000 [14:51] Hmmm, I installed vnstat for my server and I realized that it transmits ~200 MB of data every hour. I have no idea what this traffic amount is coming from. Can I somehow find out this? [14:52] @ crawler: Are there any particular logs I can look at to see if anything was logged? [14:52] Is there anyway to overide a block from my isp on port 80 im trying to set up an apache server [14:52] shurene: the inspirons from what i understand, have had trouble with dust piling up on the heat sink. i recommend the compressed air [14:52] cmpsalvestrini: i dunno [14:52] how do i put an alredy running job to background?: [14:52] can anyone recomend a good feed reader? I want to export a feed from a webpage that allows you to search all of craigslist. I have tried liferea but everytime i try to import the opml file it says that there is a problem. [14:52] hey zsnes is working! [14:52] wooo [14:52] shurene: i'm not sure about that..maybe someone else will know [14:53] billy: 1) Tell your ISP 2) Use Tor [14:53] i'd still like to install this other one, just to get an idea how to install a tarbal though [14:53] billy: most likely not, try using another port. [14:53] crawler: What's "compressed air" solution? [14:53] billy: even better, change ISPs. [14:53] overmind, ive told my isp they say they wont unblock it because im using a 3g dongle whats TOR === watafaq_ is now known as watafaq [14:53] SwedeMike, good point lol [14:54] shurene: buy a can of compressed air, and remove the keyboard and playe, blow out the dust buildup [14:54] billy: tell them you want an Internet service, not some crippled limited websurfing one. [14:54] crawler is this for a pc your saying compressed air?? [14:55] shurene: also, consider running a prolonged memtest, as my 5100 had a bad ram module due to overheating [14:55] billy, it's probably in the terms of service for your 3g, that "excessive use" will be disabled. They reserve the right to determine what's excessive. I've had cable companies scan for port 80 in the past. [14:55] billy: laptop [14:55] SwedeMike, like i say because im using a 3g dongle they wont allow it [14:55] crawler: Sounds a bit complicated - any on-line links that tell one how to do something like this? [14:55] crawler: OK, will try memtest. [14:55] but the best thing to do is to set up apache on another port, maybe 8080 [14:55] crawler sorry :P [14:56] djuber, ive tried but its still bloked apache dosnt dectect any packets when i try to connect to my ip eiter [14:56] shurene: not that i know, but you pop the cover off and remove a few screws, then remove keyboard and you have access to the heat sink and a big dust ball :) [14:56] HowardTheDuck: usually when it's a source tarball, your extract it with nautilus, then you open up a terminal window and from the directory the extracter created (though that's not always the case) you type the following: ./configure && make && sudo make install - that's what's worked for me in most cases when I've had to use source tarballs [14:56] billy: then it sounds like they block all incoming connections to you, then it's tough. [14:57] crawler: I see. Thanks - will try that. [14:57] cmpsalvestrini: hmm okay man thanks [14:57] shurene: good luck [14:57] SwedeMike, so there isnt any way around it?? i feared this [14:57] ill try that out. [14:57] crawler: I'm presuming "compressed air" is something that can be ordered from a Web shop easily? [14:57] billy: no, your ISP is stupid and that's that. use your feet to show how happy you are with them. [14:58] SwedeMike, lmao [14:58] shurene: yes, it costs about 3-5 US dollars and you can buy it at many shops [14:58] so in this case i would do ./configure install.sh [14:58] ? [14:58] billy: correction, they're not an ISP because they're not providing Internet, they're providing some sub-par quasi-surf service. [14:58] hopefully you can 1) find a better deal with a more liberal provider (hard in the mobile market), and 2) aren't locked in a horribly contract. [14:58] shurene: http://www.amazon.com/Compressed-Air-Duster-oz-Can/dp/B001CXWMRI === peter is now known as Guest52966 [14:58] crawler: Any particular description for it - or is it just called "compressed air"? [14:59] howard, no, install.sh is called by another program, usuall make. [14:59] crawler: Is it in a cannister of some kind, presumably?

If I do rmmod e1000; modprobe e1000 AutoNeg=0x28; /etc/init.d/networking restart instead of the rebooting it as the last step, it loads the last driver and changes to 1Gb/s. However, after a reboot it reverts to the old driver again. Any idea how to keep it on the new version? [15:01] crawler: I will do. Had no choice - she had Dell before I married her! [15:01] guntbert, SORRY :) [15:01] shurene: heh xD [15:02] did ./configure, failed "sanity check", moving forward. [15:02] eh, can't do "make" [15:04] Orion84: strange - maybe its the autoneg.... parameter - you would have to pass it to the module on loading - but I lost track how that can be done now (it used to be in /etc/modules.conf...) [15:05] howard, do you have build-essentials installed? [15:06] I don't know. I see the old version popping up aswell after the reboot so first step for me would be to keep the new version after the reboot. If anyone knows how to do that it would be appreciated if you shared that knowledge with me ^^ [15:06] howard, you might need to use sudo apt-get install build-essentials to get the parts required to compile programs from source === kjdsa0 is now known as StuBb0rn [15:07] is there any program in linux,that can converte pdf to word [15:08] noise : try gs [15:08] noise : find gs command line parameters for convert from pdf to word [15:08] I'm trying to install ubuntu on another machine of mine.

Any idea how to get this working? [16:04] randomusr: it will generate a new xorg.conf but you'll have the old one backed up so you can replace it if things go awry [16:05] radar3d: if you right-click the networkmanager applet, is wireless enabled? [16:05] install the broadcom [16:05] Also, I don't like the beta version of grub that comes with karmic. Is it safe to downgrade back to the grub version that came with Jaunty?

[16:08] because what i did is downloaded latest nvidia drivers n installed on ubuntu [16:08] Last I recall, it was listed on the "to do" list. [16:08] before installing it wasn't this slow [16:08] wish I could send a screen shot [16:09] @rumsy [16:09] radar3d: i do not mean upgrade to lucid beta, but update, start the update manager and tell it to update your system to apply the latest fixes and security updates, it sits under systen->administration->update manager [16:09] But I read something about biometric support for Karmic, so I thought maybe the Ubuntu devs added it. [16:09] boss_mc, it created the same thing as before [16:09] omkar_: how did you upgrade that, who or where did you see updates for video driver [16:09] hi whenever i run apt-get build-dep it says You must put some 'source' URIs in your sources.list. which URIs are we talking about? [16:10] therianthrope: some sensors work afaik, refer to the thread i linked, i doubt theres much pace in the project of integrating it since a finger print scanner is mostly a gimmick and of little value [16:10] I already had the drivers downloaded from nvidia site [16:10] Also, I am still sort of iffy with Grub. I really dislike the beta version, I made heavy use of locking and passwords. Would I be able to downgrade and restore grub from the live CD if something goes swrong? [16:10] shall i give u the link? [16:10] omkar_: no [16:10] adimania: well in source.list are a list of sources, they can be packages or sources, [16:10] radar3d: you could try going under System->hardware drivers sometimes you may need to enable the driver..... [16:10] randomusr: weird, that seems broken.... you could try deleting the xorg.conf entirely (KEEP YOU BACKUP THOUGH) and trying nvidia-settings again [16:11] omkar_: may be that's the problem [16:11] boss_mc: http://pastebin.org/126642 [16:11] therianthrope: if you have to ask you'd probably leave grub alone, grub doesnt use passwords by default, unless you set it [16:11] ya but then which drivers should i install [16:11] you'd best [16:11] I agree rumpsy because earlier it was working so fine [16:11] so clean [16:11] The version of grub that comes with Karmic does not support passwords like the one that came with Jaunty. [16:11] but now it is very sluggish [16:11] omkar_: goto that site and read the uninstall procedure and uninstall the current driver [16:11] mickster04: yes. I know that. I ran apt-get build-dep deja-dup and got this error. Which URIs should I add [16:11] therianthrope: what do you mean like [16:12] boss_mc, i'm in /etc/X11 and I don't see a backup of xorg.conf after running that command [16:12] pourya there are no drivers liste there when I check [16:12] but then waht abt the display card drivers [16:12] !broadcom | radar3d [16:12] omkar_: install proprietary driver from ubuntu src [16:12] radar3d: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx === j_ack__ is now known as j_ack [16:12] Well, with Jaunty's grub you could "lock" a boot entry to require password entry before allowing you to boot to it.

I got a problem with the gnome-volume-control-applet... It seems to use a wrong minimum value. As soon as i move the slider to ~33% it completely mutes the sound. Would anyone be so kind and could help me with this issue? =( [16:14] yes my laptop works fine [16:14] radar3d https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [16:14] radar3d: i think its the wl driver. [16:14] crawler: build-dep is not a package. it is used to get all the dependencies of a package. [16:15] peace out kids [16:15] i prefer b43 [16:15] therianthrope: there is an upgrade from grub to grub2, but not a downgrade option, you can either wait untill the feature is added which is hopefully soon, or attempt to manually remove grub2, install grub and make sure it boots etc [16:15] randomusr: it seems that the default xorg.conf is not conformant enough to be read by nvidia's program... strange.... [16:15] adimania: oops :S [16:15] no that don't work for that [16:15] he should use the sta [16:15] I will check out those links guys [16:15] what is STA? [16:16] a driver for braodcom devices [16:16] so what is the general concensus? [16:17] spawn omkar billy ziroux xerox [16:17] In gnome-volume-control, the sound is turned off when the slider for Output volume goes under ~33%. I guess my volume control gets a wrong minimum value ... does anyone know something about this issue? [16:17] radar3d in a terminal what is the output from lspci -vvnn | grep 14e4 [16:18] Hello! My samba share broke down due to a recent update. I previously shared a mounted filesystem via Samba. Isn't that possible anymore due to the patch? [16:18] spunk: did you try resharing it? [16:18] spunk: hmm.. you dont share Unmounted fileysstems.. so if you cant share 'mounted' ones - you couldent share anything... [16:19] acicula, I've rebooted a couple of times. [16:19] spunk: these shares are in /etc/samba/smb.conf ? or user defined shares? [16:19] Dr_Willis, true. The file system is a bit special though; it is a virtualbox shared folder. [16:19] Dr_Willis, user defined share. Using Nautilus. [16:19] spunk: you are using samba in virtualbox? or the Special VIrtualbox 'share' feature thatyou get with the vbox guest addations? [16:20] I find it easier to just set theusers HOMEs to all be shared in smb.conf and not use the 'user defined share' stuff [16:20] hello [16:21] Dr_Willis, Im running the samba server in a vbox client. And that client has a vbox shared folder mounted. Previously I was able to serve from this client [16:21] iflema will have to reinstall and check i was frustrated to I wiped the drive to start over [16:21] I guess I have the same issue like this one: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=499719 [16:21] (gnome volume control mutes sound at ~33%, not at 0% like it should) [16:21] That post is way old and doesnt show a solution, but maybe one of you knows something about it? Could anyone be so kind and help me with it? [16:21] my computer is muy lento [16:21] so if I am putting it on a netbook shouls i use the netbook remix or go for the desktop version??? [16:21] yes [16:22] ok [16:22] cenquiu [16:22] whats the best way to lock a desktop user's access up, restrict apps they can use for example [16:22] radar3d: its more of a question about personal preference:/ [16:22] spunk: so your samba share is the 'vbox' special share. :) You may need to double check the permissions of the special share [16:23] resno : use guest mode [16:23] resno : at the right corner of desktop [16:23] Dr_Willis, correct. I mount the vbox shared folder to folder "a", say, and then i share folder "a" with samba. [16:23] what is the diff i would like to keep them the same but the netbbok drive is a 16g ramdrive [16:23] resno : u will see [16:23] kerim: i see that, but it doesnt login, i just logs me out [16:23] resno : as u guess normally use for shutdown [16:23] kerim: so i am not sure if i am doing something wrong [16:24] Dr_Willis, I'll try to fiddle a bit with permissions and such. Thanks for your help! [16:24] resno : if u see guest session [16:24] radar3d: netbook remix is ubuntu for small screens and small <4gb disks if neither applies then normal ubuntu will work also [16:24] resno : this protects u [16:24] resno : ok ? [16:24] kerim: i see guest seesion. but it doesnt login into the guest session [16:24] kerim: currently it only locks my screen [16:24] resno : hmmm . It must do [16:24] radar3d very little difference..... mainly optimizations to make thing fit on a small screen [16:25] acicula, ok thanks iflema I think i will go with desktp version to keep them the same [16:25] resno : another solution press "ctrl + alt + L" at the same time while leaving ur computer [16:25] resno : this will lock ur computer [16:26] kerim: yea, i dont need that. i am trying to create a secured user. [16:26] resno : ok focus on guess session [16:26] radar3d you can convert Ubuntu to UNR basically with tha addition of 3 packages [16:26] resno : ur question must be guess session [16:26] !u | kerim please [16:26] kerim please: U is the 21st letter of the modern latin alphabet. Neither 'U' or 'Ur' are words in the English language. Nor are 'R', 'Y', 'l8', 'Ne1' or 'Bcuz'. Mangled English is hard for non-native English speakers. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/abbreviations/ for more information. [16:27] kerim: so you dont know why the guest session is mangled? [16:27] !y | Therianthrope [16:27] therianthrope, please see my private message [16:28] iflema ok cool [16:28] resno : because a secure session for u . [16:28] resno : ur solution [16:28] i just switched from windows 7 to ubuntu [16:28] kerim: yea, dont worry about it. ill figure it out [16:28] i didnt know there was so much help to work with [16:29] resno : ok [16:29] kerim: please stop writing "u" for "you" === zz_FeiRuoWa is now known as FeiRuoWa [16:30] iflema acicula 2 more easy questions.
