[00:03] what is the best way to install drivers for a nvidia 630i main board? Ubuntu doesn't recognize over half of my hardware [00:03] I've already had it, just don'tremember the command [00:03] cmon give it [00:03] bernier: the first thing to do... backup [00:03] no need to [00:03] !nvidia | bernier [00:03] bernier: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [00:03] wtf? [00:04] update-manager -d [00:04] thank you guys === Ttech is now known as Im_Testing_Somet [00:05] is there a protecter program to lock users going into hard drive itself? === Im_Testing_Somet is now known as Ttech [00:05] like password the hard drive [00:05] lemontea in the bios [00:05] does anybody know a good software for DVB cards? [00:06] lemontea make sure you never forget the password though, no way to reset it... [00:06] sure there is, pull out the CMOS battery [00:06] is there a gnome amorak out there? === Jannitax is now known as Jannita [00:07] amarok [00:07] hangthedj: banshee pretty much [00:07] You can run amarok under gnome if you want [00:07] hanophix33: exile [00:07] is there a flash solution yet ? [00:07] hey guys,.,. so im runnng on a virginmedia 2mb broadband line (im connected by ethernet cable) but i get really slow surfing speeds,.,. on my routers page it says i have 2 dns's,. now i have both of them typed in and i assume it uses the first one by default,.,. so i removed the second one and got a really bad ping,. i swithched them around and got a better ping,.,. can i use other dns's other then the ones listed n my routers page? [00:07] if so where would i find the adresses? [00:07] exile/banshee, really don't compare to Amarok, I'd install KDE dependencies t use Amarok, if it were me(and thats what I did) [00:07] soldierboy, it's on the hard drive genius, it won't do anything. [00:07] zoke, theres a lot of little work arounds. I found a .deb at the !flash factoids second link that i use. [00:08] !flash | zoke [00:08] zoke: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [00:08] The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix. [00:08] dr-willis: themes dont work [00:08] hanophix33, what themes? [00:08] amaroko themes [00:08] found, obviously at kde-look [00:09] Quick question: Is there a Gnome alternative to Alacarte? [00:09] RandomUbuntuUser - ??? alacarte - easy GNOME menu editing tool [00:10] RandomUbuntuUser: That works in gnome, it is built into Gutsy [00:10] hanophix33, no idea. could be they are older thmees no longer supported. [00:10] RandomUbuntuUser - alacarte is for Gnome! [00:11] Cpudan80, Mine is buggy in Gutsy.. And I was looking for somehting to replace it.. [00:11] hrm.... dunno [00:11] RandomUbuntuUser - ahhh ...the penny drops ... sorry [00:11] Np guys. Thanks! [00:11] danand: ok i tried the other dvd drive, and it justs hangs [00:11] danand: and it makes noises like the dvd is spinning but the program is doing nothing [00:12] So NEW question: How do you manually edit the gnome menu? === nephyll is now known as Nephilin [00:12] RandomUbuntuUser, right click it and choose "edit menu" [00:12] RandomUbuntuUser, right click on the word applications [00:12] RandomUbuntuUser, the menus are generated from the variuos .desktop files on the system. if you want the hard-kore way :) [00:13] Dr_willis, he said gnome not hard-Kore kde ;) [00:13] foug - sorry - I'm at a loss now :( [00:13] can someone give me a dns plz? [00:13] De_willis, that is exactly what I need.. Could you give me the paths to these files? [00:13] How about Old-Skool. :) [00:13] RandomUbuntuUser, not really. do a locate .desktop [00:13] i don't understand how ubuntu can't play DVD's by default. That's as stupid as the Wii not playing DVD's [00:13] how i change english langauage to chinese language display??? [00:13] how can i login as root in ubuntu without asking me for the password for some command i type.. ex. apt-get ?? [00:13] RandomUbuntuUser, theres several places. and i dont kow th details [00:13] foug, for ubuntu its LEGAL reasons.. for the Wii its for Cost reasons. [00:14] foug, because it may be illegal in america. [00:14] teodra, i wouldnt recommend doing that [00:14] playing DVD's is old technology though, lol [00:14] foug: by a dell laptop with ubuntu, then you get what you want [00:14] foug, and that makes it possibly less illegal [00:14] foug, legally ubuntu can not include dvd playback. If the wii wanted to incliude dvd playback they have to pay the dvd concortium like $10 a wii. [00:14] PriceChild, illegal to watch dvd's? [00:14] foug - you woulda thought so !! [00:14] Dr_willis, the ".desktop" helps a TON. Thanks! [00:14] How can i change the settings to view chinese language display??? [00:14] bod_ i want to know.. pls [00:14] RandomUbuntuUser, check freedesktop.org for info on the spec I think. [00:15] lemontea, ask in #ubuntu-cn [00:15] bod_, foug, libdvdcss has never been challenged in court, but it is probably illegal. [00:15] so, if by law, it is illegal for ubuntu to play DVD's, then how does ubuntu and let alone linux plan on going anywhere in the OS market? [00:15] teodra, i dont no the answer,.,. but if u dont no the answer then its probably not a good idea [00:15] does anyone know of a program that will allow me to creat wiring diagrams [00:15] bod_ : libdvdcss breaks the encryption on the dvd - this is illegal in some countries [00:15] there are LEGAL dvd players for Linux. BUt they are not free. [00:15] bod_ ok :) thnx.. but iam sure i can do that [00:16] PriceChild, danand, oh cheers [00:16] Dr_willis: it is software? [00:16] foug, ask the millions of people who use it already, and it only illegal in the US and places with dumb patent laws and that is not the whole planet and there are things you can do [00:16] foug, dvd's are not the only things people use comptuers for. [00:16] hi there [00:16] foug, yes. I recall some disrtos including the player. but they are not free. [00:16] teodra, wot r u trying to do that u need to be root user for? [00:16] !u | bod_ [00:16] I cant even rember the last time i played/watched a movie dvd. [00:16] where can i find libdvdcss? it isn't in the repo's [00:16] !rootsudo | bod_ [00:16] can someone answer a question for me? [00:16] !dvd | foug [00:16] !ask | lenswipe [00:16] bod_: Unless you're Dutch or Flemish, or a government officier, the letter 'U' is not a pronoun. If you want to be taken more seriously, please bother to type out the extra letters in "you". The same goes for "why", "because", "anyone", and so on.. [00:16] please [00:16] bod_: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. [00:16] foug: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs [00:16] lenswipe: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [00:17] Dvd playback under ubuntu is documented all over. :) [00:17] bod_ it's boring :) it's asking me always [00:17] Dr_willis, but not always well [00:17] Hi, I need some help with my sound card [00:17] PriceChild, ive had dvd disks that crash windows players.. but worked under linux. :) figure that one out. [00:17] It's a ICH8 Family sound card [00:17] teodra, so wot happens when someone logs into 'your' machine as root because u removed the password then deltes all ur config files? [00:17] !audio | d3ng4r_chris [00:18] d3ng4r_chris: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

[00:30] mikebot: open top in a terminal, press F for sorting mode and then n for sort-by-memory-usage [00:30] mikebot: your microprocessor. You can use that tool to see your usage. Nice graphical tool, shows a couple things clearly that top is obscure on [00:30] then you see which process hogs your RAM [00:30] desertc whee i can see log file..and where to look in it.. if i go system/administration/system log..then its a big file..i dont know where to look..

[00:33] i need some help with ./unload command [00:33] nickrud_: Like, maybe it's just Opera, but that opened really slowly. [00:34] nickrud_: And it runs really slowly too.

If it's just opera, then it's an opera problem not ubuntu [00:34] What is the mounting point suppose to be for windows? [00:34] sadaiyappan, never heard of mediatomb - It may have its own help channel/forums/support page that deals with it and ps3 issues.

[00:44] Jangari: exim4 to be precise [00:44] unagi: Query [00:44] okay then, dunno [00:44] desertc: well its not working for me [00:44] any ideas what could set my system clock to 1944?

[00:44] pavera, update drivers for ur motherboard [00:44] desertc: in the terminal? [00:44] pavera: winston churchill? [00:44] lol [00:44] zethero1: how are you trying to run gzip ? [00:45] hey .... i have a live (or semi live) ubuntu on USB memory. Its acting really weird, and some of the bugs seem to be known by others. but i wont go into that now [00:45] Jangari: i havent done this in quite some time , i think i forgot to Install a POP server lol [00:45] it is an ubuntu server install running in vmware [00:45] bod_: I've been very happy with that, it's opendns.com , has some useful stuff for name that don't resolv. [00:45] your incoming mail server is usually quite distinct from your outgoing server [00:45] and randomly over the last couple days, the system time is set to Aug 25 1944 [00:45] but whats your take on this: i used to be able to run firefox - now i always get a segmentation fault..... ??? [00:45] why do some of my folders in the terminal show up with a green background/blue foreground? [00:45] at least i know how to watch system log file :D [00:45] can i get a better error dump or output than just what the terminal tells me? [00:45] nickrud_, cheers dude,.,. il try them out [00:45] pavera: what is your timezone? [00:45] so? VMware upgrade? [00:45] MST [00:45] It wont install Grub.. it sends me to Partition manager... and then it tells me some bullshit llike.... thats a invalid mounting point for that system and then tells me to load GRUB and keeps repeating [00:45] bod_: switched to it for the same reason you're mentioning, I'd have to wait several seconds at the very least for name resolution from my isp [00:45] until i discovered it, I had the smtp spelled wrong on this machine, so i could do everything but send, including save as draft' [00:45] desertc: I got a gzip package from Gnome-look.org and tried to extract it ... but it says its an unknown archive type etc.... [00:46] britt_: what client do you use? [00:46] zethero1: how did you try to extract it? [00:46] Jangari: right now, mutt [00:46] wtf is mutt? [00:46] when I type "ls -l" in my terminal, a bunch of my folders have a green background/blue foreground...how do I fix that? [00:46] Jangari: mail client.... [00:46] Jangari: console mail client [00:46] nickrud_, im trying this , then if that dont work il try setting up my own DNS server,. and if that dont work,. im gonna murder everyone who works for virginmedia [00:46] this system has been running fine for like 4 months [00:46] now suddenly, the last couple days [00:46] desertc: rightclick and Extract Here..... Archive type not supported. [00:46] it keeps thinking WWII is still going on [00:47] How do I add repositories? [00:47] oh yeah? i've actually been looking for a usable console client [00:47] mutt eh? [00:47] oxeimon: that is used to differentiate the file types and other stuff. try file to see what it is [00:47] zethero1: that's not gzip... that's archive manager [00:47] Why doesnt phpmyadmin appear in www folder after install? (sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin) [00:47] i couldn't figure out how to get alpine working [00:47] zethero1: anyway, it's probably a corrupted archive [00:47] oxeimon: like a broken link is red, an executable is green, etc [00:47] nickrud_: they're mainly directories... [00:47] pavera: 25. august was the day paris got liberated [00:47] desertc: oh ok [00:48] nickrud_: the problem is, many other folders are just blue on white background [00:48] oxeimon: ls -ld [00:48] hmm... so, its a french hacker that's rooted my box and is setting the clock back? [00:48] pavera: maybe the system clock battery is empty. [00:48] can't find mutt, what's the package called? [00:48] I already said [00:48] its a vmware virtual machine [00:48] desertc P.S. restricted drivers in use ! - nvidia latest drivers instaled.... so what might be a problem? [00:48] nickrud_: most directories are blue, except the ones that I got from my external hard drive [00:48] pavera: probably estonia [00:48] Jangari: mutt :) [00:48] the actual physical machine doesn't have this problem [00:48] it always thinks the time is right [00:48] oxeimon: you can turn off all colors by editing the alias for ls in ~./bashrc [00:48] hmm, apt-cache search doesn't see it [00:49] Why doesnt phpmyadmin appear in www folder after install?

[01:11] is it possible to create a symlink for every folder in the current directory? [01:11] can you password-protect folders in Ubuntu? [01:12] tetzke9: System > Admin > Software Sources [01:12] wers: you can make it not happen, but once it starts, you can't stop it [01:12] getisboy, you could make a script that does that. I guess.. there may be some other command line tools that automate it. [01:12] mikebot: i think there are plenty tutorials for that, you will find with google. i used a german howto, but i think this won't help you ;) [01:12] i want to reconfigure XORG ... it lets me chooose... nv <- it selects this automatically....but i can also chooce nvidia...drivers... what should i choose..? === nephyll is now known as Nephilinn [01:12] getisboy, cp has a --link option also [01:12] that's my problem. I want to stop it. It's a bug. ahehe [01:12] aquo_: Haha, yeah. OK, thanks a bunch. [01:13] dr_willis, ok [01:13] peace: nvidia if you want the official nvidia drivers [01:13] I'm trying to install Wacom-tools, but I get an error. [01:13] any1 using beryl? [01:13] peace: "nv" is an open source driver with little (well, no) support for 3D. "nvidia" is a proprietary driver with 3D support. [01:13] thank you [01:13] !beryl > tetzke9 (tetzke9, see the private message from Ubotu) [01:13] hello I am trying to install drivers for conexant cx23885 [01:13] actually I did and /dev/dvb shows up [01:13] !compiz [01:13] Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion [01:13] but I cannot test with vlc. how to test if it works ? [01:14] wers, well not a bug, rather a missing feature... the way fsck works, if you just stop it suddenly, your filesystem will get corrupted. i don't think it has a sane "stop gracefully" procedure [01:14] !dvb [01:14] Sorry, I don't know anything about dvb - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [01:14] !tv > aquo_ (aquo_, see the private message from Ubotu) [01:14] my internet is slow in linux but not in XP [01:14] is there a way to turn avi files into DV files? [01:15] I'm having trouble viewing mp4 files. I can see the file preview in gnome but when I click on the mp4 videos to watch them all I get is the sound and a moving pink screen. I get the same moving pick screen from vlc/totem/mplayer. What would cause this? [01:15] ola [01:15] ola! [01:15] LjL, yeah. we really can't stop it. I'm just looking for a feature like the one in windows which asks the user's permission before the fsck [01:15] sim [01:15] olá [01:16] wers, ive never noticed windows asking actually. :) [01:16] When I try installing Wacom-tools, I get this error: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53506/ [01:17] Hola [01:17] wers: `sudo touch /fastboot` will keep the fsck from happening (needs to be done each shutdown for the next reboot) [01:17] Estoy usando Ubuntu 7.10 y Tengo un problema que no se que he hecho pero me han desaparecido las cabeceras de las ventanas [01:17] !es | Turbuk [01:17] Turbuk: Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda.

I'm aware of that. I hope, there's a feature that would ask the user before the forced fsck carries on [01:18] what's up :P [01:19] does anyone here uses Crystal Space 1.0 [01:19] ?

[01:20] britt_ nice [01:21] Dr_willis, yeah. backup. it's the real thing. btw, the one in windows asks the user's permission even before the forced fsck starts. that's what we need [01:21] Can someone help me? I'm trying to fix the inverted scrollwheel on my Wacom tablet. [01:21] can Linux be effected by windows viruses? [01:22] joe__: no [01:22] no [01:22] ok [01:22] yes, if windows is running [01:22] would anyone know what would cause this? http://pastebin.ca/872836 [01:22] Flannel, i think you miss understood me it goes totally blank i click start or install option [01:22] joe__: the worst that could happen is if you run a windows virus in Wine, but then it can only affect your Wine files [01:22] aquo_: that's redundant, windows is a virus. [01:22] wers, 'need' :) i dont need it.. I dont think id want my company web server asking the janitor if it should check the filesystem.. heh heh [01:22] when I try to use dvbutils o mythbuntu with my dvb card it gives me permission error. anyone can help me ?

That would mean that the entire service gets removed? or only that it will no longer be started? [01:28] britt_: Theres a couple. Dovecot, courier, uh, two more. https://help.ubuntu.com/7.10/server/C/email-services.html [01:28] I'm having trouble installing Wacom-tools. [01:28] heartsblood, no codec? [01:28] Flannel: so im correct in that exim is just for smtp stuff right [01:28] phoenixz: Just disabled. Thats not a package manager [01:28] dr_willis, i think cp --link creates a hard link, not a symlink [01:28] Flannel: does he really need a mailserver on localhost to make php mail() work? [01:29] aquo_: Depends on what he's trying to do. [01:29] sdf02: that wouldn't make a whole lot of sense. gnome can grab a still image from the video for it's 'video preview' effect and I can hear sound when I open it. just no video [01:29] Is there a built in mail client or chat client in firefox? [01:29] mikebot: No. That'd be the seamonkey suite [01:30] heartsblood, what you using to play it? [01:30] Flannel: That does both? [01:30] mikebot: thunderbird and chatzilla i think [01:30] mikebot: but theyre seperate clients i dunno about plugins [01:30] Flannel, iaw, it would ONLY remove the links in /etc/rc.#/...... ? [01:30] sdf02: totem/vlc/mplayer all give the same pink screen. sound but no video [01:30] Arg., this is why I liked opera =/ [01:30] mikebot: er, not chat. but yeah, chatzilla. Seamonkey is the old mozilla suite [01:30] sdf02: and just to clarify it's a moving pink screen. [01:30] phoenixz: yes. [01:30] heartsblood, what's mplayer say at the console? [01:31] phoenixz: well, it'll disable them in rc.#, they'll still be there [01:31] when I get an email in my hotmail account. I get a notice on amsn, but it wont open. I presume thats cause hotmail tries to open in EI. how can I make it open with firefox? [01:31] Is seamonkey no longer supported and/or updated? [01:32] Or rather, is there an e-mail add-on for firefox? [01:32] Flannel, effectively not starting up the service.. that's all I needed to knnow.. thanks! [01:32] heartsblood, what's mplayer say at the console when trying to open the mp4? [01:32] Flannel, it actually does delete the symlinks of the app in the /etc/rc.# directories.. which is perfect ;) [01:32] sdfo2, gonna bash it 1 sec. [01:32] sdfo2, no errors though [01:33] sdfo2, er pastebin [01:33] mikebot: it is [01:33] d [01:33] !br [01:33] Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [01:33] Morning all [01:34] sdfo2, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53507/ [01:34] If I wanted to move /usr, it should be as simple as making a copy of it (with cp -a, for example), renaming /usr to /usr.bak, then symlinking the new usr to /usr, right? [01:34] Any one know of a solution for the xgl wacom bug , no extended devices found ? [01:34] Flannel: Thanks. [01:35] Flannel: You know of any e-mail add-ons? [01:35] Kuwanger: i dont remember if -a preserves symlinks i didnt think so [01:35] lufis: hallo [01:36] purpleposeidon: small world. [01:36] mikebot: for firefox? No. Thats what thunderbird or seamonkey is for. [01:36] What is ubufox? [01:36] any Op help me?

If you really insist on getting people's opinions, join #ubuntu-bots and ask there. [01:38] Does anyone know how to make firefox save my open tabs so that when I close firefox and reopen it all my tabs are back open? [01:38] mikebot: Thunderbird is good. Evolution simply has better gnome intergation. [01:38] lufis: Well, the easiest way is to mv xorg.conf xorg.conf.backup and restart X with ctrl-alt-backspace [01:38] mikebot: There is a firefox add-on for that. [01:38] mikebot; i used thunderbird for a long time.. then tried out Evolution and now.. my opinion is evolution does a better job [01:38] mikebot: version 2.0 does this automatically in versino 1.* its a plugin [01:38] Evolution is a lot heavier than thunderbird, if you just need a basic email client [01:38] purpleposeidon: You could have told me that. [01:38] purpleposeidon, lufis: it's an even smaller world when you're banned, so watch out [01:38] any of you guys in here using a PPC architecture [01:38] ?

[01:38] Guest42210: I'm not on a PPC right now, but I've got a PPC machine with linux on it [01:38] mikebot: well i should say it restores so if you like pkill firefox and relaunch itll ask you if ya want to restore last session [01:38] pike_: I have 2 but it doesn't do that ;/ do I have to set it up? [01:39] Well,, evolution has a calendar by default. [01:39] mikebot: so if you close normally it doesnt [01:39] with ubuntu on it nemilar ? [01:39] Odd-rationale: Do you know what it is called?

I meant to say I didn't know :D [01:50] Genius314: yw [01:50] __mikem: i'm sure you can bear with it [01:50] thanks daxroc [01:51] Kuwanger - and yes, i can get to boot: but i don't know the syntax to text boot === Varka_ is now known as Varka [01:51] jimmygoon, i have tryied, its not the first time i install phpmyadmin but it usually gets into www [01:51] Genius314: to explain, you enabled extra software that isn't as open-source as we'd like them to be (or something like that). Anyways, it just enables more stuff, and then it was able to install kolourpaint. :P [01:51] RequinB4: I think it's as simple as typing in "vga=normal" (without the quotes). [01:51] im going from feisty -> gutsy. anything i should know? (anythin bgorken?) [01:51] limp, I dunna. I'm out of ideas. Install it manually? It doesn't take that long, though the package updates are nice [01:51] *broken [01:52] sdfo2: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/64587 <- perhaps this is your issue./ [01:52] jimmygoon, isnt $ apt-get install phpmyadmin already manual? [01:52] limp: sudo updatedb | locate phpmyadmin/ or pma/ [01:52] Kuwanger - i doubt it, because 800x600 with 256 colors wouldn't boot >.> but i'll try right now [01:52] daxroc, i [01:52] daxroc, i'll try [01:52] hi [01:52] hey [01:53] hi pawan [01:53] Can I close firefox while chatzilla is open? [01:53] limp, I meant actually dling the tar.gz of phpmyadmin and configuring it by hand and copying it into /var/www etc [01:53] whats up [01:53] mikebot_: yes [01:53] mikebot_: fairly sure [01:53] mikebot_, no [01:53] javaJake: Cool, thanks. [01:53] jimmygoon: oh, haha. [01:53] mikebot_: i think so. but real men use irssi ;-) [01:53] *men/women [01:53] er, I don't think so :S oh well, we'll find out soon [01:53] jimmygoon: you sure? [01:54] no [01:54] mikebot use a chat client :P [01:54] irssi is had to keep track of [01:54] pike_: Well, it looks like the copy worked fine, except that the symlinks datas weren't reset. :( [01:54] *proper one [01:54] mikebot_: i'm almost sure you can. why don't you test it? :) [01:54] daxroc: Like which? [01:54] Kuwanger: ah i think i have an example if you still want one [01:54] jimmygoon: zomg sacrilege! irssi + screen == teh best evar!!! [01:54] mikebot; Xchat is a decent client [01:54] google , try , decide [01:54] mikebot_: also, if you can, install XChat: it's 2x better than ChatZilla [01:54] javaJake: Haha, nahh.. [01:54] pike_: An example? Um, okay. [01:54] javaJake: Is it light-weight? [01:54] Kuwanger - vga=normal gives same error [01:54] mikebot_: fairly [01:55] mikebot_: xchat is a very nice gui client [01:55] daxroc, that didnt do much. Is there a way to get it in www? [01:55] mikebot_: I don't notice such things, since i have 768 MB of RAM on a 1.8 GHz processor. :P [01:55] * lastnode_ tips hat at jrib === lee_ is now known as Cueball|Laptop [01:55] lastnode_: I'm not so worried about appearance as I am about speed. [01:55] mikebot_: irssi is _very_ light because irssi is for the console. :) [01:55] limp: not sure , think there is. you do have php, mysql installed before installing pma right ? [01:55] RequinB4: I see. When you use vga=normal, do you get several lines of text, then does the monitor switch resolutions automatically? [01:55] mikebot_: it's very quick [01:55] what is the difference between irssi and bitchx? [01:55] javaJake: But I want to be able to copy/paste ;? [01:56] no [01:56] RequinB4: Or does it instantly do the out of monitor sync error? [01:56] has anyone here used Crystal Space? [01:56] mikebot_: terminal/console can do that. [01:56] <__mikem> paku, one has a rather unique name? [01:56] mikebot_: you can copy and paste, i use it and i do. :) [01:56] Kuwanger: find /usr -depth -print0 | cpio –null –sparse -pvd /mnt/newusr/ <-- i think [01:56] !enablesources is Enable the standard Ubuntu repositories by going to System > Administration > Software Sources [01:56] is there a way to set an application window to a viewport by adding something in the menu link command? [01:56] mikebot_: and with screens (as mentioned) if you are remotely logged in from SSH, and your SSH is cut off, you dno't lose anything. You can reconnect to screens as if nothing had ever happened. [01:56] I'm wondering why flashplayer-nonfree is still broken? Is there a technical issue why they havn't fixed it? [01:57] javaJake: I don't know whata SSH is haha [01:57] Lifeisfunny: no, but Compiz provides similar capabilities [01:57] benanzo: i cant imagine. the fix has been in proposed repo since about the time problem was discovered. im assuming its some politics or something [01:57] mikebot_: ok, nvm. :) [01:57] pike_: Hmm..interesting. Well, I'm not worried so much about the cp. My main concern is just verifying that Ubuntu is sane, storing all the necessary boot files in /bin and /sbin, at least until it mounts the mountpoints in fstab. [01:57] Lifeisfunny: i'm going, so I can't say anything more. Just browse around Compiz' settings. :) [01:57] on what exact date will hardy be released? :) [01:57] Lifeisfunny: on a multihead system ? [01:58] javaJake, yeah, I tried that thanks [01:58] Lifeisfunny: if you're using Compiz [01:58] Anyone know if there is a channel for discussing Adsense/related programs? [01:58] daxroc, no [01:58] pike_: So long as that's the case, I'm pretty sure I won't make my system unbootable. [01:58] javaJake: Haha, I'll try that though, thanks. [01:58] nemilar: adsense? as in, google adsens? [01:58] anyone have an idea what would be causing my ATA timeouts? dmesg here ---> http://pastebin.ca/872836 [01:58] Kuwanger - i'll just detail the exact method. Boot options screen comes up. add vga=*whatever*. Boots. usplash (or just text booting stuff if nosplash is enabled). At the end of the usplash or when everything is loaded, then the error occurs instintaneously (hardware OS error, if that helps, can tell by the gfx). The resolution doesn' tseem to change at any point there. [01:58] Kuwanger: yeah. should be safe i guess :) [01:58] lastnode_: yeah, I'm trying to decide between google ads and yahoo ads for my site [01:58] From my understanding it's just a matter of updating the md5 and a minor tweak to the install routine -- I'm concerned why this has taken so long -- the problem first started in early Dec. [01:58] daroc, apache2 php5 mysql5 are all installed and correctly configured, im going to look into apache aliases or downloading the src [01:58] <__mikem> nemilar, how about no ads [01:59] nemilar: google is your friend (the search engine). i doubt there are irc channels, but you can try #web [01:59] __mikem: gotta pay for hosting/domains somehow, man [01:59] pike_: Such confidence. :) [01:59] either way, that's offtopic fot this channel. you can try asking in #ubuntu-offtopic too [01:59] lastnode_: I want to use google (this is getting offtopic, so this is my last line) but they're messing with me [01:59] how do you kame it so you can run a script on your desktop in a root term by right clicking on it [02:00] nemilar: good man. go to the offtopic channel :) [02:00] Kuwanger - also, control+alt+f1 gives me the same barcode error pattern on the screen as booting normally. I get no error (after cntrl-alt-f1) using vga setting appropriate for my screen, and teal barcode with 800x600 w/ 256colors [02:01] how do you make it so you can run a script on your desktop in a root term by right clicking on it [02:01] limp: /usr/share/phpmyadmin [02:01] RequinB4: Hmm..rather odd. Well, since you can't actually read anything at that point, I don't think you'll get much farther with the LiveCD. Your best bet is to do what you're doing and use the alternative CD image. [02:01] daxroc, thanks. going to eat now.. bonne appetit :) [02:02] RequinB4: Then you should be able to manually invoke the problem/manually avoid the problem. [02:02] cjones: Google for "nautilus scripts" -- there's one that will do what you want [02:02] limp: if it was successful it should be available via http://server/phpmyadmin , did you select your apache server from the options ? [02:02] Kuwnager - thx for the help tho. This comp has been a ***** to get working [02:02] RequinB4: Hopefully, though, it's just an installation glitch and not a symptom of some hardware being incompataible/broken. [02:02] I tried some basic commands on the non-responsive shell, nothing [02:02] Does anyone here use irssi? [02:02] Kuwanger - meh, if gparted won't start [02:03] yea === nephyll is now known as Nephilin [02:03] RequinB4: Well, if the video card went glitchy, then it's possible the screen won't update even though the system isn't frozen. Or, the system could be frozen. :/ [02:03] My dual boot isnt working.... it says something like error hal.dll file [02:03] RequinB4: Hmm..as for gparted..perhaps look for a text-mode parted tool? [02:04] RequinB4: I know some exist. [02:04] anyone have an idea what would be causing my ATA timeouts? dmesg here ---> http://pastebin.ca/872836 [02:04] Kuwanger - i have the cd, hold on [02:04] Kuwanger - i downloaded the oldest supported iso so i hopefully won't have GUI issues [02:05] anyone know how to fix the hal.dll error I got for dual booting... it wont let me go in to windows now [02:05] only ubuntu [02:06] Question: What numerics should I chmod a directory so only root may access it? [02:06] RequinB4: Nah. The alternative CD, even the latest version, can be run in text mode. [02:06] jrattner1, chown -R root:root whatever/directory [02:06] RequinB4: But, use whatever version you want. :) [02:06] sethk, and then only root can enter it? [02:06] task, do you have a windows cd? you could using the repair feature on the cd [02:06] jrattner1, then, chmod -R o+r whatever/directory [02:06] hey any1 using compiz fusion? [02:06] ah [02:06] RequinB4: Btw, a quick google turned up this: http://www.sysresccd.org/Main_Page [02:06] jrattner1, if only root has x on the directory, then only root can see the contents === ajmorris is now known as ajmorris|AFK [02:07] Kuwanger, oh, no, hte iso is for GParted [02:07] RequinB4: I haven't used it, so I don't know how good it works. But it looks like a good rescue CD, with a minimal chance of compromise. [02:07] jrattner1, for a directory, x means search, and r and w mean the usual thing [02:07] sethk, ahh ok [02:07] Kuwanger - that won't work, i can feel it [02:07] I have Knoppix dvd [02:07] anyone have an idea what would be causing my ATA timeouts? dmesg here ---> http://pastebin.ca/872836 [02:08] RequinB4: Oh, I see. Well, I doubt an older version will change things. GParted runs on GTK on top of X, I believe. So, I don't think it'd help since I doubt X support has went down. :/ [02:08] !pastebin [02:08] pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [02:08] RequinB4: But, if you've got the time to test it out, more power to you. :) I'm not exactly keen on ideas that I know will work. [02:08] sdfo2: i seriously believe it's libata, not the hd .. i also think (maybe) that it damages the hd. [02:09] sdfo2, if that only happens once, then it's not a problem [02:09] Kuwanger - aww. well i've got a bunch of options to try one by one with GParted... [02:09] sdfo2, at the end it says, for ata1 at least, configured for UDMA/100 and configured for UDMA/33, which is normal [02:09] sdfo2: i've gotten that a lot lately, mostly on older drives [02:09] that's a soft reset btw [02:09] sdfo2, if it happens repeatedly, then that's different [02:10] 'doing' [02:10] RequinB4: And if all else fails, you can try one of the other hundred rescue CDs. :) [02:10] Anyone here try to use Ubuntu and Firefox to manage a Blue Quartz Web server via the GUI ?? [02:10] is ther a howto to get compiz fuzion? [02:11] sdfo2, use a S.M.A.R.T. utility and dump out the drive's error statistics [02:11] F YEAH [02:11] GParted is liking me [02:11] i accidentally umounted everything. will i be okay on reboot, or do i have to do something special? [02:11] jamiejackson: Unmounted everything? [02:11] jamiejackson: you're fine [02:12] sure did [02:12] you could just mount -a if you want [02:12] jamiejackson: try sudo mount -a if that mounts everything, you will be fine [02:12] and remount everything [02:12] tetzke9, are on gutsy? [02:12] tetzke9, are you on gutsy? [02:12] hi [02:12] i need help [02:13] tried that: jamie@mercury:~$ sudo mount -a "bash: /usr/bin/sudo: No such file or directory" [02:13] hi all. if a user is added to more than 1 group. (f.e. 3 groups) and i want to edit a file which has only write permissions with one of the groups the user is in but not the default one (the 1st group) how can i edit the file as the user, using the 3rd group which is called "share" f.e.? [02:13] <__mikem> !ask | leila [02:13] leila: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [02:13] jamiejackson: How about "mount -a"? [02:13] k [02:13] jamie@mercury:~$ mount -a "bash: /bin/mount: No such file or directory" [02:13] Kuwanger - i got the GUI of gparted to work! [02:13] jamiejackson: Yea..was afraid of that. :) [02:14] :O [02:14] whats gutsy? [02:14] RequinB4: Great! :) [02:14] Kuwanger - means there is hope if i get a better driver [02:14] i don't know how enable the 3d acceleration with the nvidia [02:14] Does everyone have problems with gmail.com and Firefox on Gutsy? [02:14] no [02:14] tetzke9, are you on ubuntu 7.10? [02:14] when i try to start a 3d game gnome restart [02:14] oh yeah [02:14] i'm fine with gmail/ff/gutsy [02:14] <__mikem> leila, sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx i think [02:14] RequinB4: Makes me wonder if the LiveCD uses a generic video driver or not. [02:14] geokeratz: yes i am [02:15] <__mikem> leila, actually hold on, what version of ubuntu are you using? [02:15] jamiejackson: I try to create a filter on Gmail and firefox freezes on me. [02:15] tetzke9, then it's allready installed [02:15] jamiejackson: consistently [02:15] Kuwanger - ok, so my plan is to install via alt iso, then at install get a root shell and change drivers [02:15] geokeratz: the cube and everything? [02:15] jamiejackson: How'd you lose /bin/? [02:15] i installed the nvidia drivers from nvidia web site [02:15] <__mikem> leila, try this [02:15] 7.10 [02:15] tetzke9, go to System>preferences>appearance and check EXTRA or CUSTOM [02:15] <__mikem> under the system menu, go to the administration submenu, and select the restricted drivers option [02:15] nobody do this: sudo umount -afl <-- that's how i umounted everything, Kuwanger [02:15] RequinB4: With the alt iso, you can do the whole install in text mode, so I think it's more a point of choosing the right drivers. [02:16] is there a way to have desktop pictures change automatically in 7.10? [02:16] jamiejackson: Could you try created a filter on gmail? See if it hangs on you to? [02:16] Kuwanger, very true [02:16] jamiejackson: You umounted root? [02:16] levander: as soon as i have any directories from which to run FF ;-) [02:16] i dont want install the ubuntu nvidia drivers [02:16] i wanna tar a bunch of files /directories.. but i wanna exclude some directories.. how? [02:16] <__mikem> leila, you are sort of going to have to. Besides, i have never had any problems with them [02:16] geokeratz: yeah but not the cube and that is it? [02:16] Kuwanger: guess so [02:17] <__mikem> And just for the record, those drivers are the nvidia official drivers [02:17] fancy, huh? [02:17] rredd4: you could write a small script.. or try wallpaper-tray [02:17] jamiejackson: I think it was Firebug. I disabled that extension, restarted Firefox, and creating a gmail filter seems to be working... [02:17] jamiejackson: Well, then, you can't really test how things will work since there's nothing to mount anything. :) [02:17] rredd4, you could always make up a script that changes them randomly every few min. I do belive theres some tools out to do it as well. [02:17] jamiejackson: All you have left is hope that the reboot works out. [02:17] I'm in the twilight zone, Kuwanger [02:17] __mikem: what modules i have to write in xorg.conf? [02:17] tetzke9, is ctr+alt+left click doing anything? [02:17] jamiejackson: Yep. [02:18] jamiejackson: Nope, it just hung again. It's when I put a email address in the From field of the filter that has a lot of matches to it. [02:18] geokeratz:no [02:18] <__mikem> leila, if you use the restricted driver manager, it should do everything for you [02:18] Can someone view this and help me figure out why audacity is crashing...(it is looking for alsa) http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53511/ [02:18] jamiejackson: Reminds me of stories of people who setup servers to run a program, then send the system into the halt state so no more programs can be ran. :) [02:18] <__mikem> but before you do that, you might want to undo what ever you tried to do up til this point [02:18] jrib Dr_willis don't know how to write scripts... will check out wallpaper tray. ty [02:18] at least pidgin still works ;-) [02:19] tetzke9, no cube? then , go to system>preferences>advance desktop effect settings ... and play with your plugins..... [02:19] RequinB4: Well, with all luck, be back soon. [02:19] __mikem: of course but i have installed the vendor drivers, i would like how to enable 3d with this drivers [02:19] wonder if i can download sudo and mount, and umm ls? [02:19] <__mikem> leila, just trust me. [02:19] tetzke9: you need 4 virtual desktop to see the cube [02:20] <__mikem> Uninstall the binary you got from the website, and use the restricted driver manager. [02:20] where do i get that? [02:20] tetzke9, i really don't remember how i enabled the cube , but just do experiments . Yes , tacone is right [02:20] hey guys, if I add a new service to /etc/event.d, how do I tell /sbin/init about it? [02:20] I am having a dependancy issue when trying to install elisa-extra... Depends: python-gpod but it is not going to be installed .... please help [02:21] you need to enable 4 desktops in the ccsm tool to get the cube effect [02:21] zethero1: do you know why its not going to be installed? [02:22] danbhfive: I have no idea [02:22] Any other software that can record audio from the sound device that works with OSS? [02:23] Besides audacity [02:23] danbhfive: when I try to install pythin-gpod I get this message: Depends: libgpod2 (=0.5.2-2) but 0.5.3+actually0.6.0-0.1 is to be installed [02:23] I had a similar problem - the comp only makes a cube when you have more then one desktop set. Once you enabled the cube and move cube plugins, go to general options and increase the number of desktops [02:24] Well, that worked well. [02:24] zethero1: what version of ubuntu are you running? [02:25] RequinB4: a right click on the workspace chooser (below-right) would do it [02:25] danbhfive: gutsy [02:25] RequinB4: How's things going? [02:25] zethero1: upgrade from feisty? [02:25] hey guys im running ubuntu 6.06 and i need ndiswrapper to load on start up along with my firewall firestarter how would i do this [02:25] Kuwanger - trying to find a blank CD [02:26] danbhfive: no [02:26] RequinB4: For the alt iso image? [02:26] zethero1: are you sure your sources are correct? [02:26] How do I tell if my external USB disk is running at USB 1 or USB 2 speeds? dmesg doesn't show anything likely [02:26] Kuwanger - yeps [02:27] danbhfive: I have gone over them about 15 times [02:27] hey Ubuntu. [02:27] RequinB4: If you're a bit daring, you can try doing a HD install without the CD-ROM. :) [02:27] !ndiswrapper [02:27] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [02:28] Kuwanger - can't do that because its not installed on HD [02:28] Otherwise i'd have a much easier time [02:28] RequinB4: On another computer? [02:28] zethero1: well, I don't know, but, you could try running sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop^ just to check your installation [02:29] Possibly a silly question, but why does `date --date= +%D-%T` return "01/25/08-00:00:00"? If I just `date`, I get "Fri Jan 25 21:29:53 EST 2008". What am I missing here? [02:29] Kuwanger - on this one... but i'm not taking my HDD out of my laptop [02:29] RequinB4: Ah. Well, good luck. [02:30] i am currently running fedora 8, i have an extra partion i want to try out ubuntu 7.10. How can i make a backup of my mbr and my fedora partion, i have another partion where i can store the images. thanks [02:30] nina [02:31] danbhfive: ok will try that [02:31] mohbana, may be easier to just run ubuntu inside vmware or virtualbox to test it out. [02:33] how is it i can play a movie like ocean12, but not Mr woodcock, both are encrypted right? [02:34] danbhfive: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53512/ [02:34] I'm having some problems on a new installation of ubuntu. When I try to run a perl config file, I get 'Segmentation Fault.' I tried to checkout a repository via subversion, and I also got 'Segmentation Fault.' Any ideas? [02:34] I have a laptop with a 1680x1050 display. I also have a 1080p TV that works as a PC monitor. In Vista I had no problem, I could clone, extend 1080p, or use the TV at 1080p exclusively. Cloning seems to work, but it will not go higher than 1680x1050. Any advice? [02:34] zethero1: I don't even have elisa-extra available [02:35] zethero1: try sudo apt-get install -f [02:35] Pyro: seems like your perl is broken, try fix that first before running your config file or svn [02:35] danbhfive: well have you added the repo? [02:35] zethero1: I only have the standard repos [02:36] has anyone gotten tftp to work under ubuntu? I run the server in.tftpd /tftpboot ... but when I do "tftp localhost -c get file" ... I can't retreieve anything; and I can't find which file/log documents the server acess ... [02:36] danbhfive: yeah ... you have to add a third-party repo..... [02:36] danbhfive: strange thing is that just yesterday I installed it on another Gutsy machine through the same repos [02:36] Kuwanger - burning cd... [02:37] will xubuntu suffice as a file/print server between ubuntu and windows xp clients? [02:37] zethero1: yeah, it said broken package, which is weird, thats why I suggested install -f [02:37] dunleavy yes, it should be sufficient [02:37] zethero1: I think thats supposed to attempt to fix broken packages [02:37] dunleavy I use it as a file and web server, don't have a printer [02:38] danbhfive: yeah I tried that as well [02:38] th0r what are the specs of your system? Mine is minimal with 450 mgz cpu and 256 meg ram [02:38] dunleavy minimal? try 433MHz and 192M ram [02:38] (insert angry noises here) Why does `date --date= +%D-%H:%M:%S` (and date --date= +%D-%T`) give me "01/25/08-00:00:00"?! [02:38] zethero1: did install ubuntu-deaktop^ do anything? [02:38] *desktop [02:39] how is it i can play a movie like ocean12, but not Mr woodcock, both are encrypted right? [02:39] danbhfive: nope [02:39] th0r: touche. Thanks for the vote of confidence. Happy computing [02:39] heatmzzr: who knows You can play encrypted movies with the right plugins. [02:39] zethero1: and you included the ^? [02:39] !codec > heatmzzr, heatmzzr Read the private message from ubotu. [02:40] anyone have any suggestion for books on learning about linux? and ubuntu? ... im a windows user that is switching over to linux and would like to get some books but need some sueggestions [02:40] how do I access windows shares from my linux box? [02:40] zethero1: well, thats all I got, sorry [02:40] singlesun: help.ubuntu.com is a great place to start [02:40] danbhfive: yeah I did that too [02:40] singlesun: start with google. I myself switched to Ubuntu from Windows after using openSuse 10.2. It is a pleasant experience with a plethora of information on the web [02:40] singlesun google the linux documentation project...there are a number of handbooks and guides there...system admin guide, network admin guide...bash handbook [02:40] lol google [02:41] th0r thanks i will check hat out [02:41] singlesun: also try your local bookstore. I find myself there all the time looking at new things to conquer with linux. [02:42] you guys say my name when you type, how do i respond directly to you [02:42] singlesun: just say the person's name. Try typing "jr" and then hit TAB [02:42] singlesun: good question. I just started using IRC about 10 min ago [02:42] jrib, [02:43] jrib: thanks for the tip, very useful shorthand. I appreciate it [02:43] dunleavy, right on [02:43] good tip [02:43] thanks all [02:43] Vorondi1, I'm not trying to sound smart, but you get that because you told it to. go to a terminal and type "man date" no quotes [02:43] * singlesun goes to check out linux documentation project [02:44] a floodbot? [02:44] lol [02:45] I tried to upgrade to the version of Wine in Hardy and it required a newer version of libc6. When I installed the newer libc6 it started prompting me to remove pretty much every package on my system. How can I get my old Gusty libc6 back and get my system back to normal? [02:45] is there any good windows to linux games that teaches me about life? [02:45] boyam: I've been in and out of it's man page for a while now. Let me give it another once-over. [02:45] d3ng4r_chris: I'll troubleshoot it with you in a bit (ETA: 5 mins) if someone else doesn't start sooner20 [02:45] err, sorry. [02:45] DIguana: you should run the wine from the win website [02:45] th0r, thanks man .... whats up with what you just sent... TheEpitome... etc [02:46] DIguana: and you can try running this command: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop^ [02:47] singlesun I don't understand the question...TheEpitome? [02:48] I'm not interested in getting Wine anymore, I just want to get my system back to normal. When I tried to run "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" I got the error: [02:48] libc6-dev: Depends: libc6 (= 2.6.1-1ubuntu10) but 2.7-5ubuntu2 is to be installed [02:48] libc6-i686: PreDepends: libc6 (= 2.6.1-1ubuntu10) but 2.7-5ubuntu2 is to be installed [02:48] E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution). [02:48] boyam: I don't get it. What am I doing wrong? [02:48] th0r, ah nevermind man, i hit the tab thing and it showed all those names, im checking out the linux doc proj right now [02:48] singlesun cool...a very good reference site for linux [02:49] Anyone wanna help me install in text mode [02:49] th0r, i just hope i can catch on to this... lol [02:49] DIguana: try sudo apt-get install -f [02:50] singlesun it's easy...take it one step at a time ... requires lots of patience [02:50] Nevermind, I fixed it by downloading the Gusty libc6 manually and running "dpkg --install" on it. Everything's back to normal now. [02:50] I'll just wait until April to get the new version of Wine, I guess. [02:50] th0r, thats always what they say whenever its going to be some awful nasty drawn out process, lol [02:50] is there any good windows to linux games that teaches me about life(no half life 2)? [02:51] hi, im trying to boot ubuntu 7.10 live from th cd but when it loads the linux kernal it gets stuck at 100% [02:51] How do I access windows shares from a linux machine? [02:51] singlesun linux allows you to rediscover the pleasure of getting a printer to print 'hello' [02:51] DIguana: you can also try sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop^ pay attention to the ^. Also, you can get the latest wine from the wine website. Its quite easy [02:52] th0r, LOL wonderful kinda like the first writeln"hello world"? [02:52] lol [02:52] any1 know how i can get the cd to boot? [02:52] boyam: Oohh! I get it now. :-P It seems to imply that -d is needed to display stuff using the format string. At least, that's how I read it. (i.e., you *need* "-d" before the "+string".) [02:52] Thanks :) [02:52] omgdude, but the cd in the diskdrive? set the bios setting to boot from cd? [02:52] singlesun exactly! [02:52] I'm installing via the alt cd and the partitioner won't load [02:52] yes [02:52] i get to the splash screen [02:53] and i choose start/intsall ubuntu [02:53] hello, is there a specifc way of naming virtual hosts on apache2? it seems apache2 wont restart if both virtual hosts are * so I tryied renaming but apache2 wont restart, what could cause this? [02:53] omgdude, as long as bios is set to boot it should boot, [02:53] Vorondi1, i was about to ask what it is you weren't getting. :) [02:53] it loads up to 100% [02:53] then freezes [02:53] I thought the "^" was a typo. And I prefer to get my packages as .debs rather than installing from source or doing other things that will result in them not being handled by the package manager. [02:53] omgdude: I think there's an integrity check for the disc - have you ran that? [02:53] and my comp restarts [02:53] no cuz to do that you need to load the kernal too [02:53] DIguana: everything I've suggested is from debs [02:53] xchat-systray: Depends: xchat (> 2.0.4) but it is not going to be installed i am having trouble installing xchat plugin can somenoe help [02:53] so that also gets stuck at 100% [02:53] omgdude, no clue about that man, sounds like the burn is bad or something, you verified the disk after it burned? [02:54] How do I access windows shares from a linux machine? [02:54] can't :( [02:54] omgdude did you check the md5 sum of the disk? [02:54] omgdude: Try to reburn it on a lower speed. [02:54] check the sum before you reburn [02:55] omgdude, i would agree with the above statements, thats a really odd point for it to just hang up [02:55] Vorondi1, yep...the -d needs to be followed by the string of options you have available in the date command... [02:55] Anderson: Do you know the path of the disc (/dev/hdb1, for example)? [02:55] hey does anyone know how to do modulo in bashscript? [02:55] omgdude, when exactly does it stop? after install is complete? [02:55] no, it stops when i click choose to start/install, loads up to 100 then stalls out [02:56] $ echo `date +%d % 7` should indicate the need of a weekly backup or something [02:56] omgdude, sounds like the disk is crap, i think every1 is in agreement on that [02:56] but it doesnt work since "%" seems not to be modulo *G* [02:56] im re downloading it now [02:56] boyam: Right, but I want a time field in there too. It seems that if you give the +format string with -d, the time part gets all zeroes. I just didn't realize that you could give a +format *without* -d. [02:57] aptitude gives a "no candidate found" for emerald-themes, is this package renamed? [02:57] omgdude, then just burn on lowest setting as stated above by the others... you do meet the minimum reqs for install right? [02:57] Falconer ? [02:57] Anderson: google for ubuntu + samba [02:58] !info emerald-themes [02:58] Package emerald-themes does not exist in gutsy [02:58] umm i have a 1.8 core duo, 2 gb ram, ati x1400 video card, so i think im in the clear [02:58] danbhfive: Thanks. I guess I just got too used to sites only offering source tarballs and RPMs so I didn't even bother to check. [02:58] bmk789: yeah that package is broken currently [02:58] Tempete, ?

[02:59] the emerald config tool has a button to download themes [02:59] DIguana: yeah, its cool, the wine people maintain the packages, and their own repos, its cool [02:59] lol @ redundancy [02:59] I'm installing via the alt cd and the partitioner won't load [02:59] bmk789: manually unless getdeb.net has a package or something. [02:59] Dr_willis: that button has almost never worked [02:59] histo: ok [02:59] bmk789, it works for me. :) but all the themes are ugly OS-X or Vista clones it seems [02:59] Guest42210 ?

I'm about to install (attempt) the latest ppc version of ubuntu on my ibook g4 and i was wondering if creating a partition within osx before, then installing ubuntu on it, was enough? will the bootloader be able to boot both osx and ubuntu?

[03:34] Gamekille, i have the program, just need to know how to install it.... i even extracted the file, it does not have a README or a INSTALL file... [03:34] zethero1: ok. What's going on is you're using the xgl server, which reports that you don't have 3d rendering functional. xserver-xgl is required for compiz, but interferes with running open gl games and the like, iirc [03:34] RequinB4: run 'echo $PATH' [03:34] paste the result [03:34] there is not install just a process what the name of hte app you got singlesun [03:34] Hi, if /dev/scd0 is my DVD drive, how do I find my CD drive address pls?

That will disable the xgl server next login. remove the disable file, and next login you will be able to use compiz [03:36] singlesun: do you kno who to use the term [03:36] Gamekille, yes [03:37] requinB4: does 'ls -l /usr/bin' return anything? [03:37] can that person that was helping me repeat it i got dced i was trying to reset my su password [03:37] Gamekille, i need to logon as root?

Now, a neat trick is to create another user, switch to that user. You can switch back and forth with clt-alt-f7 and clt-alt-f8 , with one running compiz and the other not. [03:38] nickrud_: I need 3d acceleration to run Elisa Media Center [03:38] How are you [03:38] I would only this one [03:38] keyvin - help gives me a list of built-in commands. should i list?

I just found them in Synaptic and installed them. But I cannot find them. They are not in my menu and I can't find them on a file search. Any tips? [03:39] fsck should be accessible as /sbin/fsck [03:39] keyvin - i was at the text installer at the partition part, then i hit cntl+alt+f2. Now i have a shell with the prompt ~ # [03:40] what are you trying to do? [03:40] are you trying to repair a corrupted filesystem? [03:40] i have a I/O error on partitioning my hard drive [03:40] run fdisk -l [03:40] nickrud_: I mean this is soooo frustrating.... Linux has strong pojnts... sure..... but man are there some "holes" in the theory too [03:40] paste the results [03:40] nickrud was typing it wrong [03:40] keyvin - no error or output [03:40] nickrud thanks man [03:40] zethero1: That's a problem with the ati driver, not linux. [03:41] keyvin-> he is installing via text mode, he is in a console now.. [03:41] 'sudo fdisk -l'? [03:41] zethero1: The next release of ubuntu will be using a later driver released by ati, which won't need the xserver-xgl . [03:41] nickrud_: its like... oh finally xgl-xserver works well and we have compiz up and running as well.... but oh we forgot to mention that you now have no 3d acceleration [03:41] oh wait -- you should be root user [03:41] RequinB4-> /sbin/fsck /dev/drivepartition [03:41] Alright, question about getting my wireless card working. [03:41] zethero1: again, blame ati for not providing proper support [03:41] zethero1, Compiz is not an official or necessary part of Linux [03:42] How? Linksys Wirless N PCI card. [03:42] bkar how is that going to help him partition his hard drive? [03:42] Ubuntu 6.06 [03:42] keyvin-> the install was asking about fsck'ng the drive [03:42] zethero1, you are unfortunately right [03:42] syntaxerror55: its necessary for those who want a computing experience which is lively and full of variety [03:42] zethero1: by the way, I don't use compiz, it's useless for real work [03:43] . : bg break cd chdir command continue echo eval exec exit export false fg getopts hash help jobs kill let local pwd read readonly return set shift times trap true type ulimit umask unset wait [03:43] lol [03:43] Anyone know how to get a Linksys Wireless N PCI card to work on Ubuntu?

Cause I did an aptitude install php5-curl earlier today and it said it died while upgrading openssh-server, now I can't connect and I'm 400 miles from the box [03:43] zethero1, having a cube shaped desktop does not improve your variety. [03:43] nickrud_: I find a number of feature very usefull [03:43] rne1224: translation.. : upgrade to an AMD.. :) [03:43] Hi, if /dev/scd0 is my DVD drive, how do I find my CD drive address pls? [03:43] i fixed it yesh [03:44] syntaxerror55: 'tis but one feature [03:44] I'm Having real difficulty in getting firestarter to run so I can do internet connection sharing. [03:44] zethero1: not to get into a debate, but the only thing compiz provides that other window managers don't is the bling of fancy window movement and shadows [03:44] isleshocky77-> a risk one takes when doing remote upgrades [03:44] IndyGunFreak: hahaha...how much will the upgrade will be? [03:44] i fixed the timestamp error i have to get going [03:44] bkar: Everything else still runs such as apache mysql and things like that. [03:44] RootyRootRootWOO: Is it mounted? If so, type "mount" [03:44] !iptables [03:44] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [03:44] nickrud_ : being slightly adhd, cube helps with my organization [03:44] I'm wondering if I can use ftp and php to do something. [03:44] Nickrud thanks for the help i really apprecate it:) [03:45] zethero1, sorry, but compiz is just a window manager that slows everything down. You're lucky people even tried to help you here instead of just redirecting you to #compiz [03:45] RootyRootRootW00, or type df [03:45] RequinB4: hm, never looked at it that way [03:45] isleshocky77-> you can ask to disable the sshd and telnet in.. [03:45] nickrud_: ummm... apart from "bling" there are the features like Shift Switcher adn Scale which I find extremely useful [03:45] geokerat [03:45] Other then that, its just eye candy [03:45] geokeratz: thanks, am doing so [03:46] syntaxerror55: now you just sound threatening..... tsk ysk [03:46] hey guys, im running gutsy on a dell xps m1330, it has a core2duo cpu and /proc/cpuinfo states it also supports hyperthreading, however i cant find anything about hyperthreading in my bios, and gnome-system-monitor just shows the two physical cores. How can i enable hyperthreading on this cpu and then have 4 logical cpus.

[03:47] nickrud: I have converted 6 Windows users to Linux in the past 5 weeks...... so I am doing my part to spread the word [03:47] singlesun: There should be an INSTALL file in there, but usually you cd to the directory, ./configure, make, sudo make install [03:47] There is no one playing Palunion? [03:48] Tempete, no install file, only a file named Makefile and a few others [03:48] adub: that's an error in the stuff you're compiling itself ...

[04:14] Its there away, so xchat always remember my custom nickname? [04:14] Yoda: np. it took me a while, but my gateway's media keys work perfect for me now. it should be on by default in gnome... [04:14] techgeek40: good, watching a silly movie [04:14] Tempete, alright dled that and installed it [04:14] cvd thres options [04:14] I unno.

I got the KNotify. Shouldn't be anything bad, but I'm wondering why it crashed after I installed that. [04:15] keyvin - no biggie, i've been working on getting a bootable OS on this box for 2 months now [04:15] cvd, XChat should always remember your nickname if you change the setting in XChat->Network List... [04:15] TheFishy: have you checked out bsdgames ? [04:15] syntaxerror55, well when u get it all smoothish enough to run I would love to help test... My palm has an ssh connection meaning its just sharing a screen. So I connect to X and run flash if i wanted to but thats dumb...

[04:15] hey [04:15] i'm on live pendrivelinux [04:16] Thats the only time I've had disks just dissapear - when the controller was faulty [04:16] Tempete, this thing is wacked, [04:16] Yoda: i get that occasionally. i don't think it has to do with the script tho, just that it's a kde app running on gnome [04:16] is there a way to install ubuntu from this?? [04:16] TheFishy, ok. I'll remember you. :D [04:16] singlesun: Don't tell me that! [04:16] nickrud_, would bsdgames work on ubuntu-server :P [04:16] Tempete, still not working man... error [04:16] Yoda: go to #amarok for more support [04:16] TheFishy: yep, they are for the text screen [04:16] thansks [04:16] keyvin - don't know what that means, but i'd hazard a guess no [04:16] :P === _max` is now known as max` [04:16] singlesun: Okay, what is it now? [04:16] user_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromKnoppix [04:16] nickrud_, BSDGames doesn't already have a Tron does it? [04:17] daniel92: Got it, works perfectly now. Thanks a bunch. [04:17] because I wouldn't want to duplicate [04:17] Tempete, still those same errors when i type in make [04:17] patrock r u there? [04:17] singlesun: This is terrible. Let me see if I can just find another app for the same purpose. [04:17] Yoda: no problem. i love that script. helps with **all** media keys, so nice. [04:17] syntaxerror55: no, although it may have some of the games under different names. apt-cache show bsdgames lists them [04:18] nickrud_, ah, k. I'm currently on my Windows partition, but I'll remember it [04:18] thx fl [04:18] Tempete, package libglade-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path [04:18] Flannel, [04:18] Tempete, that starts the huge error list [04:18] i forget what the name of the package you need to compile is... can someone refresh my memory? [04:18] i tried to install kde4 and it didn't work, however, it also made gnome not work. in the .xsession-errors files says "GtK-WARNING ***: This process is currently running setuid or setgid [04:18] singlesun: Oh! Let's get that installed then.. Lemme find a deb. [04:18] Hi i executed a "mount" command: how do i identify which of the devices is my CD drive please? [04:19] nevermind i foudn something [04:19] Tempete, whats up with all these Lib things? lol... [04:19] why only the left Alt work and not the right? [04:19] arg [04:19] Anyone know any file managers besides Nautilus? My only two beefs with Ubuntu to date have been that it's....not the prettiest, and I'm not too fond of Nautilus. [04:19] Yoda, you can try kubuntu [04:19] Yoda, sure, Konqueror, dolphin [04:19] singlesun: Apps use other libraries to make their program work. [04:19] nickrud_, awesome [04:19] Is there a webcammax type program for linux? [04:19] ubuntu distro centered around KDE [04:20] singlesun: This one shouldn't have any problems but you'll have to compile it as well - http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/libglade/2.0/libglade-2.0.1.tar.gz [04:20] whe i need to use the Alt for everything only the left work [04:20] Tempete, why dont they come with the applications is my question, and if you already have them, lol they could overwrite them [04:20] Here is something: I have a netgar WG511 v2 pcmcia wireless adapter for my laptop - but I can't seem to get the drivers installed - any suggestions? [04:20] Well then....my computer just semi-restarted. It went to the shut down screen about running boot scripts, then it came back up to my GDM. [04:20] TheFishy: and the really popular text game, nethack-console [04:21] techgeek40, have a look into ndiswrapper [04:21] netgar = netgear [04:21] nickrud_, ok i installed the package, how do i see all the games it just installed? [04:21] what package of perl has this -lperl [04:21] Otay - doing that now [04:21] TheFishy: apt-cache show bsdgames [04:21] singlesun: That would make life too easy =P And make apps more bloated (As it is, you can disable features sometimes if you know you won't use them) [04:21] Shadow147,do apt-cache search 'whatever' [04:21] how do you check if you are using the mesa video drivers in ubuntu? === micah_ is now known as Yoda [04:22] Tempete, lol [04:22] nickrud_, do u know anymore games like this? [04:22] I have installed moonlander and when I click on the icon, it seems that the games starts, but nothing happens. [04:22] apt-get moo is pretty fun [04:22] marcel, try running it from a terminal [04:22] TheFishy: there's nethack-console [04:23] nickrud_, got that already + bsdgames-nonfree [04:23] angband [04:23] TheFishy: try apt-cache search console game , it returns some that are definitely console games, not sure about others [04:23] pvl1 thanks [04:23] ooh, angbad [04:23] Tempete, ok so im trying to do that one... i did the configure and it worked fine, but the make did not [04:23] angband with -mgcu so it runs in text mode [04:23] anyone know why apt would think that almost every package was automatically installed and no longer required? [04:23] when you setup a machine to be a dhcpcd server ... how does the server machine get it's ip address / routing table / etc ... ? [04:23] Shadow147, np [04:23] singlesun: Ugh. What error now? [04:23] Tempete, said "no target specified" [04:24] anyways, before my comp decided to off itself, I was asking if anyone knew of any decent file managers besides Nautilus (ie how to install them properly) [04:24] Tempete, no target specified and no makefile found [04:24] it says "cannot open file for reading ... couldn't open audio [04:24] sudo make install [04:24] Well, i just wanted to thank everyone who helped me today in my now 2 month long journy to get a bootable OS on my box [04:24] BRB - going to get this working :> [04:24] I'm going to bed [04:24] marcel, is that all it said?

[04:25] im using 7.10 btw [04:25] singlesun: You can try. But I'd check the INSTALL in there (If there is one) or the README [04:25] how can I post the whole message? there are like 12 lines [04:25] Tempete, i dunno i didnt say anything odd [04:25] Yoda: xfe is cool, and really lightweight. not the best looking, but cool. look it up. ot's available in the repositories. [04:25] Yoda: sudo aptitude install thunar rox-filer [04:25] Rasta-> go boot into safe mode and set the password there for root or the user [04:25] oh, well [04:25] hi, I fllowed the exact instructions from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games/Native/ReturnToCastleWolfenstein and I go this error: Sys_Error: Couldn't load default.cfg [04:25] solution please [04:25] thanks bkar [04:26] ill be back [04:26] problem with sound.. the gstreamer-properties app.. when i hit the test for "Default Output" with Plugin = Autodetect .. it gives me an error.. but when i start gstreamer-properties with sudo .. i can hear sound [04:26] rajasun: Yoda: Yeah, rox looks really cool too. thunar just seems like a stripped version of nautilus.

If you want GNOME support, you will also need the gnome-libs [04:26] package installed. [04:26] bkar, sudo its like a pseudo root im guessing [04:26] alright, you two daniel92 and rajasun. Will this completely replace Nautilus (either of the managers), and will I hit any problems with having something other than nautilus as my manager? [04:26] problem with sound.. the gstreamer-properties app.. when i hit the test for "Default Output" with Plugin = Autodetect .. it gives me an error.. but when i start gstreamer-properties with sudo .. i can hear sound any ideas what to do [04:26] i just want to install the flash player for firefox === pizdets is now known as penars [04:26] hey guys, im running gutsy on a dell xps m1330, it has a core2duo cpu and /proc/cpuinfo states it also supports hyperthreading, however i cant find anything about hyperthreading in my bios, and gnome-system-monitor just shows the two physical cores. How can i enable hyperthreading on this cpu and then have 4 logical cpus. [04:27] singlesun: Man. Haha. Check synaptic for that, too. [04:27] marcel, are u currently using alsa, do u know? [04:27] Rasta, more like "sudo = superuser do" [04:27] Tempete, is it always this bad? [04:27] yes, Alsa works [04:27] can someone help me with resolutions? i cant seem to get ubuntu to show my resolution [04:27] Yoda: not that i know of. it's pretty hard to replace nautilus. it controls the desktiop and icons too. neither do if you just install them. google could help make it permanent. [04:27] singlesun: Not usually. I run zenwalk and rarely use package managers.. Usually only get one or two dependencies. [04:27] daniel92: I like both thunar and rox-filer. and don't all file managers resemble one another in the major, eseential even functions they perfomr [04:27] unop, ok, i have rust in my linux abilities im seeing [04:27] I have my ext system file on /dev/sda4 partition.... but I've lost GRUB after a windows installation... now I'm running a LIVE CD distribution and have console acces.... how should I run grub in order to recover it? [04:27] anyone know why apt would think that almost every package was automatically installed and no longer required? [04:27] my resolution is 1366 x 768 but when i added it to xorg.conf and restarted it still doesn't show it in options [04:28] penars-> try also ctrl+alt++ note the plus at the end [04:28] Tempete, zenwalk is better to use? than synaptic? [04:28] I have access to my old grub config too [04:28] Hi i executed a "mount" command: how do i identify which of the devices is my CD drive please? [04:28] hello, I have been burning dvds for a few months and constantly get audio and video misaligned. I have used a few conversion programs [from avi to mpg2] but i am unsure if it is the software or the burner. Any ideas on how to fix it [04:28] sound works [04:28] daniel92: oops...don't all file managers resemble one another in the major, eseential even functions they perfom? [04:28] daniel92: Is there a way I could make it default, at least? [04:28] singlesun: Zenwalk is another distro (Like Ubuntu). [04:28] marcel, do u know if u have all the neccessary alsa packages? [04:28] !grub | Oetmet [04:28] Oetmet: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager.

[04:28] how can I find out? [04:28] rajasun: yeah, all are basically the same. which one is really a matter of personal preference. i usually use nautilus, but switch to xfe occasionally for fun. [04:28] Hi, is this my CD drive pls? /dev/sda1 on /boot type ext3 (rw) [04:28] singlesun: We have netpkg but it doesn't have nearly as much stuff.. I usually just stick to compiling my own stuff.

The fastest way to see what your cdrom is is ls -l /dev/cdrom [04:29] marcel, well it depends on the game, how did u install it? [04:29] Tempete, i have this package already.. so lets see... whats the issue with this [04:29] Yoda: not that i know of. i tried to set pcman fm as default once, but it didn't work. like i said, google could help. someone had to do it at least once. [04:29] singlesun: Hmm. Reinstall it? [04:29] sudo did the trick :) [04:29] RootyRootRootW00: mine tells you what device the cdrom is, unop's shows you what's on the cdrom [04:29] can someone help me change the resolution [04:29] apt-get install [04:30] moonlande [04:30] singlesun: Or it could be a version thing.. Does it say what version is required? [04:30] penars: what's wrong? [04:30] Tempete, the ./configure does a whole lot... lol... but when i do "make" it does not work [04:30] daniel92: yeah. as long as it allows one to organize files, copy, transfer e.g. ftp, sftp, rsync, etc...should suffice for the needs of most ;) [04:30] daniel92: i dont see my resolution in options [04:30] marcel, well then it should be fine. it may be a coding problem. try running something like moonlande --help and see if there is an option to turn of sound. otherwise i believe u need to configure ur alsa driver correctly [04:30] rajasun: ah, you mean the terminal :) [04:30] alright...? also, i try to play 3d games [ made for linux not windows] and instantly when i click on it my laptop freezes and ideas other than disabling compiz?

Just wanted to check with you first since it's a bit more of an intimate troubleshoot. =P [04:31] rajasun: yeah, those seem to be the basics. i tend to lean towards lightweight managers because i like that, even though it doesn't matter on this computer [04:31] nickrud: lol. midnight commander! [04:31] Tempete, however synaptic says i have it [04:31] thanks you === Gamekille is now known as Gamekiller [04:31] Yoda: yeah, I have no idea =P so no bad advice [04:31] where do you guys store company documents, etc on office? i mean, what server?

[04:32] Tempete: the general rule of thumb for finding headers is add lib to the beginning, apt-cache search | grep dev [04:32] daniel92: nope [04:32] wers: no. wat is it? [04:32] I just installed it. looks like skype [04:32] ...? [04:32] there's a linux version [04:32] penars: try to edit the menu. see if it is hidden. right click on the icon and edit [04:32] imma try video call [04:32] nickrud_ Mm, I'm a bit newer than you think I am. Haha. Not sure what to do with that information. [04:33] can some one help me with my sound issue.. please [04:33] wers: cool [04:33] Tempete, lol i think we are far too far away from ever installing this.... [04:33] daniel92: edit the menu? [04:33] Intel Core 2 Duo processor, P35 mb, trying to install ubuntu-7.10-server-amd64.iso -- I get a reboot on any option from the initial menu. Any ideas? [04:33] qwerty123452: noacpi noapic [04:33] penars: yeah. look for it there and see if it is checked or just not there [04:33] singlesun: That's how it seems a lot of times. Haha. Can probably find a timer program that you can just set times and notifications for. [04:33] Thanks nickrun_ and unop [04:33] Tempete: like for xml , ac search libxml | grep dev . That will narrow the list. Shows libxml2-dev [04:34] daniel92, i'm trying new apps for video call because my webcam doesn't work with skype or gyachi [04:34] Tempete, i will try to find this library on the Gnome site... if not. im screaming [04:34] can you suggest any app like that? [04:34] wers: lucky, mine isn't even detected =[ [04:34] hello.. wondering if someone could help me get OO to start to accept SCIM. I have been trying to get this working for days now [04:34] nickrud_, apt-cache search does take regular expressions -- apt-cache search "lib.*xml" [04:34] nickrud_ Just to make this easier.. Happen to know of any timer app in Ubuntu's repositories? [04:34] wers: sorry, no experience there [04:34] where do you guys store company documents, etc on office? i mean, what server? do you use microsoft windows server or use SAMBA as file server? [04:35] How do I do a scandisk check on a hard drive? [04:35] okay. thanks anyway, daniel92 [04:35] wers: np. good luck [04:35] Tempete: itools does the job that singlesun is trying to do, muslim prayer times. But it's command line only [04:35] i see that compiz-fusion comes installed by default, how i activate it? [04:35] nickrud can you help me with my sound problem?? [04:35] cybermad, what is the difference to the end-user anyway? none? [04:35] i have now installed scim bridge, scim, language packs, east asian language support etc..

See also « /msg ubotu compiz » and « /msg ubotu effects » [04:35] unop: that'll pull too many library headers, I want the minimum :) [04:35] !scandisc check [04:35] Sorry, I don't know anything about scandisc check - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [04:35] nickrud_, command line only? so.... it has no interface to work with besides terminal? [04:36] !scandisc [04:36] Sorry, I don't know anything about scandisc - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [04:36] pavan: I know so little about sound [04:36] nickrud_ Mm, that's no fun. So long as it's a timer and he sets the time that should work - I'll take a look for a GUI app. [04:36] nickrud_, errm, it'll pull in the same amount as with grep .. [04:36] scandisk? [04:36] singlesun: Okay, going to just find a timer app.. Too much crap for something this simple. [04:36] Tempete: what kind of timer app? [04:36] wow, that bot its useful [04:36] Tempete, doubt you can find one, it has to calculate prayer times.. etc [04:36] BetaTest: I beleive what you are looking for is the fsck utillity [04:36] Rasta> System>preferences>appearance>visual effects [04:36] Rasta: yeah. it knows a lot [04:36] what command do I need to type in to allow Banshee as the default audio cd player and to have it automatically play audio cds? [04:36] singlesun: Is it not the same time every day? Or every week. [04:37] unop: it says "-l" not found! [04:37] ok, thanks [04:37] unop: it says "-l" command not found? [04:37] nickrud_ thx for the response.. i am trying to see if i can get some help in the alsa channel.. [04:37] daniel192: Not so sure.. Whatever singlesun needs. [04:37] RootyRootRootW00, what does? [04:37] james296, try System > Preferences > Prefered Apps [04:37] unop: no, I'm grepping for just the dev stuff. try both, you'll see I get much fewer packages [04:37] Tempete, no it isnt [04:37] anyone at all have experience with SCIM ? [04:38] wassa, nope [04:38] this is so frustrating [04:38] Im talking about for CDs though, not song files on the computer [04:38] unop the terminal output: here: bash: -l: command not found [04:38] singlesun: Okay, maybe not then. HMM. Would you be comfortable with the command line app nickrud was talking about? [04:38] james296: no idea then [04:39] RootyRootRootW00, I have no idea what you are talking about -- I didnt suggest a command to you, did i? [04:39] Tempete, does it still do the job of letting you know when the pray is about to happen? does it have anything that comes up? [04:39] I know the default command is sound-juicer -d %d for audio cds, but whats the end prefix supposed to be to allow audio cds to play automatically [04:39] I know it involves a -p somewhere [04:39] unop: sorry my bad! I read the line above your message! soory [04:40] james296: check your apps man page. it might help [04:40] huh? [04:40] RootyRootRootW00: it's ls -l /dev/cdrom [04:40] james296: man at command line [04:40] nickrud_ Thanks!:) [04:41] i need help with an install. i put in my cd and selected start/install ubuntu [04:41] james296: it gives lots of info, so might help [04:41] it loads the kernel and goes black [04:41] singlesun: Going to install and find out. One minute. [04:41] james296: the help docs for sound-juicer are pretty decent [04:41] http://images.dezinfo.net/image/guest/01.2008/children/1010.jpg [04:41] Tempete, i got those libraries going man [04:41] nickrud_ Thanks! It works, now to paste it into wine and *hope* that CDex finallllllllllllllly works. [04:41] what video driver would I use for a Radeon HD 2400 Pro PCI Express Video card?? [04:41] singlesun: did you see this [04:41] Tempete, now i just need to see if this thing will work [04:41] h3r0: try alternate install. no gui or trying out, but pretty much guaranteed [04:41] Gamekiller, yeah i see you [04:41] singlesun: For the other program? Hopefully! [04:41] http://www.arabeyes.org/project.php?proj=ITL [04:42] Tempete, i believe so [04:42] how do you check if you are using the mesa video drivers in ubuntu? [04:42] hey.. when i look at my fonts in OO i get a status line saying the font is not installed and will use its closest neighbor.. any idea how to go about locating that font? [04:43] what video driver would I use for a Radeon HD 2400 Pro PCI Express Video card?? [04:43] I don't have an alt install option [04:43] I'm new to linux from window, I am not novice, though not expert there, doc....I dont understand how to add apps to the applications button [04:43] I tried but said permission denied [04:43] Tempete, nvrmind i give up with that... lol [04:43] sandman: try ubuntuforums. more people = more likely to find answer on a specialized question [04:43] I have start or install, start ubuntu in safe graphics mode, install w/ driver update CD/ oem install/ check cd for defects/ mem test, and boot from first hard disk [04:43] singlesun: haha. Okay, we'll try itools then. [04:44] Nautilus lists two owners of a file. Why are there two of them? [04:44] wassa, try Installing "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". [04:44] singlesun: See if it's in synaptic before we go through compiling. [04:44] Tempete, try through synaptic? [04:44] singlesun: there's an ubuntu deb for minbar at http://djihed.com/minbar/minbar-02-released , I'm pointing at it but I nearly never install 3d party stuff myself [04:45] i'm trying to run ubuntu on my OLPC XO and getting an error during the boot-up sequence: http://olpcnews.com/forum/index.php?topic=1436.msg13240#msg13240 [04:45] ideas? [04:45] daniel92: I don't have an alt install option [04:45] I have start or install, start ubuntu in safe graphics mode, install w/ driver update CD/ oem install/ check cd for defects/ mem test, and boot from first hard disk [04:45] nickrud_, i just downloaded that one for ubuntu... and extracted.. it didnt install by itself though [04:45] bullgard4: two owners? where do you see that? [04:45] singlesun: have you tried to install itools in snaptic [04:46] am i screwed if i dont know my horizontal and vertical rates and xorg cant detect them by itself? [04:46] Tempete, we are trying that Minbar that nick pointed out,... a .deb file, i extracted but it dont install by itself [04:46] took me some searching just to find where ubuntu puts apps, haha [04:46] singlesun: no, it's not that tar gz, it's one that's already compiled for ubuntu. Note what I said about 3d party stuff [04:46] bullgard4, there can only be one owner, a user - the other you see is probably the group owning the file [04:46] h3r0: it is a different cd image. at the download check the "alternate download" box. most likely bad video drivers, so alt install can help [04:46] h3r0> it's a different cd [04:46] ups [04:46] oh okay. [04:46] nVidia 8800 isn't supported? [04:46] singlesun: Just double click the deb, it should pop up an install thing. [04:46] bullgard4: or maybe the full name of the user, next to the username [04:47] h3r0: maybe not right off in livecd. could just not be good at all. go to ubuntuforums.com and search. find out [04:47] penars: you should be able to google your exact monitor model number, or try the fcc number [04:47] Tempete, nickrud_ EXCELLENT MINBAR WORKS [04:47] nickrud_: this is the best i could find: http://www.norcent.net/main/product_detail.asp?prodID=62&category=homeent&type=lcdtv&view=specs [04:48] nickrud_ Hurray! Nice find. [04:48] ok, so compiz its installed by default, very nice [04:48] Does anyone know how to fix the notification area on the gnome panel? [04:48] Tempete, nickrud_ Gamekiller thank you all for your help, jeez i feel like an idiot after that..... now... i have tons of junk files all over my hardrive from trying to install that other thing.. lol [04:48] chaosrl: what's wrong with it? [04:48] Right clicking anywhere on the panel brings up the panel menu, left clicking does nothing. [04:48] singlesun: Go to the directories and type "make clean" before you remove them [04:48] nickrud_: Nautilus has got 5 columns to display files and their attributes: Name, Size, Type, Change Date and Owner. In the Owner column there are listet two owners. [04:49] chaosrl: hmm. not sure then. sorry. [04:49] everyone: brb [04:49] Tempete, lol i dont know how to remove them... lol [04:49] daniel92: i can drag it around the panel, the icons show up when i open up the respective programs, but nothing else works [04:49] newb question.. can i install any ttf fonts that I have on my windows boxes? [04:49] daniel92, it's ok, thanks though [04:49] nickrud_: Nautilus has got 5 columns to display files and their attributes: Name, Size, Type, Change Date and Owner in that order. In the Owner column there are listed two owners. [04:49] hey guys, im running gutsy on a dell xps m1330, it has a core2duo cpu and /proc/cpuinfo states it also supports hyperthreading, however i cant find anything about hyperthreading in my bios, and gnome-system-monitor just shows the two physical cores. How can i enable hyperthreading on this cpu and then have 4 logical cpus. [04:49] singlesun: Can just delete like normal (The folders). or rm foldername from command line. [04:49] Tempete, i just switched from Vista to this because Vista would only let me install my Ultimate version twice [04:49] !info msttcorefonts | wassa [04:50] wassa: msttcorefonts (source: msttcorefonts): Installer for Microsoft TrueType core fonts. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 2.2 (gutsy), package size 32 kB, installed size 188 kB [04:50] Tempete, so now im trying to learn about this stuff... its rather rough [04:50] bullgard4: the first is the user name, the second is the full name. It's the same user [04:50] singlesun: As much as I'd like you to stay.. I think you can call and get them to activate it again. But it's much more fun learning all this. [04:50] rmdir :) [04:50] When I go into my Software Sources and make sure everything is okay - I get the reload but then the error comes up Could not download all repository indexes - and one of them is http://packages.medibuntu.org/dists/gutsy/free/binary-i386/Packages.gz: 301 Moved Permanently [IP: 88.191.30.43 80] [04:50] What gives with that? [04:51] bullgard4: a user can have a room number and a phone number associated with it as well, a holdover from academia [04:51] chaosrl: yeah, google is ur friend though [04:51] @the guys that helped me, looks like ill have to use envy with the text based install [04:51] thanks [04:51] nickrud_: Where does Nautilus take the information 'full name' from? [04:51] Tempete, i dont want to bother with them , they really irritated me the last time i tried to ask for help, so that kinda gives me a little perseverance to figure this out [04:51] bullgard4: /etc/passwd [04:51] bullgard4, indirectly from /etc/passwd [04:52] daniel92: yeah, i've tried. it seems like only a few people have this problem, and none have found a reliable fix yet (or a fix at all without using a second monitor, which i dont' have access to) [04:52] can anyone help me watch cpan.org videos with linux? [04:52] *cspan.org [04:52] n/m [04:52] i'm trying to run ubuntu on my OLPC XO and getting an error during the boot-up sequence: http://olpcnews.com/forum/index.php?topic=1436.msg13240#msg13240 [04:52] chaosrl: wow, that's really weird. good luck! [04:52] I have a major issue: ubuntu isn't detecting my microphone jack microphone. [04:52] singlesun: Good good! Make sure to go inside the directories you were trying to compile in and make clean, then you can remove the directory (sudo rm pathtodirectory) [04:52] wb un0p [04:52] nickrud_: What does 'holdover from academia' mean? (My native language is not English.) [04:52] How do I know? It doesn't work with WoW, that's how. [04:52] C-SPAN can anyone help me watch these cspan videos with linux? [04:52] daniel92: thanks, i'm waiting to see if someone on the forum will know :P [04:53] bullgard4: academia is universities :) [04:53] bullgard4: it means it is from when the os was used mostly at schools [04:53] Kernel 2.6.24 released [04:53] chaosrl: sounds like a good idea [04:53] So... yeah... Can I fix the microphone problem? [04:53] Tempete, i duno how to do all that man :( i dont even remember what we put where, i just deleted them off the desktop [04:53] zachalink: are you using ALSA/ [04:53] ? [04:54] Yes, I switched to OSS and it still doesn't work. [04:54] singlesun: That works, too. Don't think any of them got far enough to justify a "make clean", anyway. Haha. You're set then. [04:54] Hi I installed the new ati cat 8.1 on my thinkpad t60 and its working great but when I logout it freazes...what should I do? [04:54] zachalink: the only thing i would know to try is this: [04:54] nickrud_, unop daniel92 : Thank you very much for explaining. [04:54] grrr.. why does everything have to be written as though everyone is an open source programmer [04:54] Do go on... =) [04:54] bullgard4, yw [04:54] bullgard4: no problem [04:54] wassa: you should have been using this 8 years ago, lol [04:54] zachalink: go into the ALSA mixer, make sure microphone and mic boost are both showing and not muted [04:55] zachalink: then make sure "Capture" is showing. a new tab should appear with "Recording" on it [04:55] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xj8ZadKgdC0 [04:55] nickrud.. is this the correct avenue to proceed down? http://corefonts.sourceforge.net/ [04:55] and make sure that's turned up. that was the problem with my mic, and after i did that it worked [04:55] There is no capture showing [04:55] Tempete, lol well til i learn better... i guess [04:55] wassa: well, it **is** designed with that in mind. i get along ok without knowing how to program [04:55] zachalink: Edit>Preferences [04:55] Just PCM, Front Mic, Line-in, CD, and PC speaker [04:55] and my mic is on the back.. [04:55] wassa: sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts , it will get the fonts from there for you [04:55] there should be check box options to show microphone, mic boost, and capture [04:56] singlesun: It's not that bad. I've only been using linux for.. A month or two. I think learning it all is pretty fun, though. [04:56] I have a Nvidia 8600GT, compiz should work well on it right? i just see working a few effects, theres a guide to help you i how to use(or at least know) all of them?

[04:56] wassa, sudo aptitude install msttcorefonts [04:57] do I have to not have the x on the microphone icon on the recording tab? [04:57] Pie-rate: wow. good luck. [04:57] singlesun: I didn't read any books.. Just switched to distros that do less for you which kinda forces you to scour the internet and just learn how to do stuff as you go. [04:57] you keep typing that but I don't know what it means [04:57] zachalink: on mine, i right click the volume thing, click "Open Volume Control." Then in th eVolume Control box, go Edit -> Preferences, and then i have Master, PCM, CD, Microphone, Microphone Capture, Mic Boost, and Capture checked [04:57] zachalink: there shouldn't be an x anywhere; that means it's muted?

[05:02] nickrud_ im there [05:03] you would think that by installing language packs and SCIM etc.. and enabling east language support in OO2.3 that would cover the bases of getting the actual fonts installed [05:03] Rasta: now you can select which font you want .... [05:03] wassa: system->admin->language support , that didn't do it?

[05:10] Tempete, yep, i believe so.... lol... now i will just double check ;) this is a good learning experience... lol.. at your cost... none the less [05:10] * nickrud_ *hates* humidity [05:10] When I go into my Software Sources and make sure everything is okay - I get the reload but then the error comes up Could not download all repository indexes - and one of them is http://packages.medibuntu.org/dists/gutsy/free/binary-i386/Packages.gz: 301 Moved Permanently [IP: 88.191.30.43 80] [05:10] singlesun: I like helping, actually. Another good way to learn :P [05:10] nickrud_, lol why is that? i dont like texas either im from pennsylvania originally... lol [05:10] Hi I installed the new ati cat 8.1 on my thinkpad t60 and its working great but when I logout it freazes...what should I do? [05:10] Nickrud: the reason I'm doing it is this: E: Package ndiswrapper-utils has no installation candidate [05:10] singlesun: *humidity* [05:10] Tempete, yeah man, i hear that... then it dont matter if you mess up too... lol [05:10] thinking about changing back to 32 bit but i dont want to go throguh all my setups and stufff again >.> [05:11] nickrud_, lol i hear that man.... its cold and rainy right now [05:11] i had to fated [05:11] is anyone else having the problem server not found: www.google.com [05:11] Hey guys in my home directory i have a nautilus-debug-log should I report this some where? [05:11] nickrud_ if I have the language packs sitting on my windows box.. can I just somehow move them to the linux build? [05:11] mouseboyx, nope, google working fine for me [05:11] techgeek40: hm, what's in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list ? [05:11] how do you add programs to the applications list [05:11] fatedkiss, 64bit is the way forward .. why would you want to go back? [05:11] mouseboyx, works for me [05:12] command to know the ubuntu and kernel versions? [05:12] un0p, mainly to get flash working? [05:12] fatedkiss> go to 32bit ,thats my advice : [05:12] !version [05:12] To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell [05:12] singlesun: Okay.. Promised myself I'd start studying by now. Been fun helping you - good luck learning about Linux. Au revoir. [05:12] !chroot | fatedkiss [05:12] fatedkiss: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot use this to build 32 bit environments on a 64 bit box [05:12] There is something wrong, firefox keeps stalling on looking up example.com [05:12] wassa: don't know about that. In theory they should work, but I wouldn't be suprised at all if the format was different os to os [05:12] fatedkiss> :-( [05:12] Can't ping google either. [05:12] Tempete, haha, hey man i appreciate that ALOT and I wish you the best of luck with your studies ;) [05:12] un0p, im not that linux advanced yet id probably not do so well at actually building anything [05:13] im used to just dropping fonts in c:/fonts.. but where do i do that here? using 7.10 [05:13] anyone know why alt+f2 isn't working? [05:13] fatedkiss, you'd be surprised at how easy it is -- especially with the instruction in hand [05:13] jack-desktop: check you keyboard shortcuts. [05:13] altf2 requires gnome [05:14] vbabiy, it's there, and set. [05:14] un0p, lol i try it perhaps guess it cant hurt, but youd be supprised at some of the things i have problems with even witht he instructions at hand [05:14] or kde [05:14] ? [05:14] mouseboyx, i have gnome [05:14] im having really annoying problems with opengl [05:14] jack-desktop: have you tried to logout and back in [05:14] fatedkiss, it's not just you who has that problem -- i have it everyday :) [05:15] vbabiy, that'll probably work, but i wanted a reason why this happens to me [05:15] jack-desktop: have you touch your settings [05:15] nope [05:16] jack-desktop: not sure [05:16] I bound Ctrl+Shift+Space for a terminal its very usefull [05:16] vbabiy, figures it starts working after i get emerald started [05:16] when i try to create a launcher, it doesnt work when I try to use it, says permission denied [05:16] un0p, so what exactly is a chroot? [05:16] What are my options if Ubuntu doesn't detect my wireless card whatsoever? Both lspci and iwconfig don't shot it. [05:17] jack-desktop: what version of Ubuntu are you running === vbabiy is now known as vbabiy_laptop [05:17] vbabiy, gutsy, i had no window manager, that could of been why it didnt work [05:17] jack-desktop: possible [05:18] Shpook, look into ndiswrapper [05:18] the error is: Failed to execute child process "/usr/share/applications/gpsdrive.desktop" (Permission denied) [05:18] Qwexer, use sudo [05:19] ok [05:19] Qwexer: did you give the right permissions to the .desktop file ? [05:19] even better [05:19] pvl1: From what I've gathered so far, ndiswrapper won't work if the card doesn't exist to the system. [05:20] I dont know how, I just click edit then browser and click the file, thats all I did, let me try that [05:20] Shpook: is it a usb wireless ? [05:20] Shpook, well sometimes, thats the only way that ndiwswrapper can pick it up from what i understand. but thats the only thing i know thatcan work [05:20] nickrud_: No, built in wireless on a laptop. Gateway at that. :-/ [05:20] ok I didnt how do I in terminal? [05:21] Shpook: oh, wierd. My gateway shows up in lspci for sure [05:21] bedtime bye [05:21] sudo chmod 777 file [05:21] sudo ./file [05:21] tar xvf [05:21] Qwexer: I'm not sure what you said edit with, etc. [05:21] chmod 777 is dangerous. [05:21] woops wrong window [05:21] Yes, it is. [05:22] can someone just work with me for five minutes that I am not missing something completely obvious? It should only take about 5 mins? [05:22] If you don't know what you are doing. [05:22] I'm getting this: W: Duplicate sources.list entry http://wine.budgetdedicated.com gutsy/main Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/wine.budgetdedicated.com_apt_dists_gutsy_main_binary-i386_Packages) [05:22] and its clearly not true [05:22] Like if you chmod 777 / DO NOT DO THIS! [05:22] Qwexer: and 644 is the right perms for a .desktop file [05:22] hello... i was trying to run dgen.... and after loading a ROM..... i recieved Segmentation Fault (Core Dumped).... how do i repair this segfailt [05:22] nickrud_: It came preinstalled with Vista, and wireless was working with it...this is the first time I've come across something like this. [05:23] jimmygoon, verify that there isnt an entry for that source in the directory /etc/apt/sources.d/ [05:23] jimmygoon: make sure there's not a deb line in a file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* [05:23] huh, I've never heard of that before :/ === PhuzXP is now known as Phuzion [05:23] * nickrud_ cracks a little finger rust [05:23] I also have a problem with the video mode. It shows the background across the full screen, but the viewport for the desktop is 1076x784, leaving a useless bar on the right side. [05:24] un0p, nickrud_ thanks [05:24] yw [05:24] Maybe it's just a buggy install for some reason, and I need to re-install. [05:24] wassa, what's up? [05:24] any way to backup my xchat settings, networks etc..? [05:24] (now my tab autocomplete won't work )... first it was just the Ctrl+X crashing xchat :/ now I can't have username autocomplete :( [05:24] un0p, i have no idea what that chroot stuff i talking about really [05:24] Shpook: that doesn't make much sense, lspci should find if it by reading the hardware [05:25] CVD: copy ~/.xchat2/ [05:25] can you just run through this for me .. .goto system > languages > add japanese and the language support check box.. [05:25] nickrud_: , Shpook, does lshw help you? [05:26] Shpook, try looking for it in system>preferences>system information [05:26] hey guys [05:26] fatedkiss, new concepts arent really meant to make sense :) basically a chroot is a compartment on the OS with it's own seperate environment, files, etc .. in this context, it allows you to have a 32bit compartment on a 64bit OS [05:26] then after that do a synaptic package of SCIM and SCIM x-bridge [05:26] Shpook, Hardware information rather [05:27] im new to ubuntu and i need some guidance toward installin\ [05:27] i have some questions [05:27] !ask | lucastom [05:27] lucastom: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [05:27] n2diy_: No, lshw doesn't show it either. [05:27] nickrud: how do I give the right permissions to that file? [05:27] un0p, sweet.. <.< would i install all 32 bit packages in the chroot dir? [05:28] Qwexer: sudo chmod 644 /path/to/file [05:28] ok, tyvm [05:28] UnOp you still there? [05:28] I think this might be more of a php or java question, but does anyone know of any terminal emulators that run on php or java? [05:28] fatedkiss, yes .. but it'll take a little configuring and linking to have them up as desktop icons, etc .. it's all in the wiki :) [05:28] wassa, aye [05:28] fatedkiss: No luck there, either. [05:29] Shpook, wierd.. even if the device didnt have drivers it should be listed somehwere >.> [05:29] were you able to get the scim installed? [05:29] un0p, i dun care bout desktop icons i just want flash to work ; ; [05:30] fatedkiss: That's the problem I'm having. At least if it was detected by the system, I could find the drivers for it. [05:30] Shpook, Right..im an extreamest and nto very good with suggestions so i wouldnt listen to me much >.> [05:31] fatedkiss: :-) Don't worry about it, anything is worth a shot. [05:31] Shpook, to fix my sound card problem i just reinstalled ubuntu [05:31] ok, how do I know that worked? if I look at the permission, what should I look for? [05:31] i just install feisty, and after installing and restart, when i remove the cd, my pc freezes [05:31] any idea? [05:31] fatedkiss: I'm getting close to doing the same. [05:31] fatedkiss, again, read the wiki, especially down towards the end for the section on mozilla firefox [05:32] un0p, i will [05:33] http://digg.com/world_news/Why_the_Cult_of_Scientology_Needs_to_be_Abolished [05:33] does gnash work reliably with youtube? [05:33] anyone here ever added apps to their Applications drop down menu? [05:33] ? [05:33] How can I get what I need on my computer in order to learn about and experiment with mySQL without going on line? [05:33] Qwexer yes [05:33] it was a bloody pain though. [05:33] can someone help? i'm trying to find my horizontal and vertical sync settings for my TV/monitor but I can't and as a result I can't change to the proper resolution in X. What can I do? [05:34] so what did you do? just add it to your desktop or just know where is was? [05:34] I think I need to get apache, mysql , and php? [05:34] emma, download a section of a good reference website for offline use and install the mysql-doc-5.0 package [05:34] Unop I am guessing I am on my own here? [05:34] Qwexer, right-click on the Applications menu. [05:34] http://video.nbc11.com/player/?id=209251#videoid=209221 [05:34] thats what I'm trying to do, but after I add it, I get that error msg [05:34] wassa, are you? i dunno :) [05:35] wassa, you have to ask for help not get people to ask you what you need :) [05:35] How do I set up telnet login? [05:35] I don't get it. [05:35] says permission denied, I need to change the permission [05:35] yeah, I got that too, until I figured out what to do by much trial [05:35] I think I need to get apache, mysql, and php. [05:35] oh, I don't think I got permission denied ... [05:35] why must even the simplest things like changing resolution be so difficult and time consuming in linux [05:36] penars: switch to mac then [05:36] it just works [05:36] could someone tell me why when i restarting my pc after installing, it freezes? [05:36] If something requires a prompted response, is there a way to pipe in that response in the same command? [05:36] everything in Open Office says that it supports east asian language and can switch between the two. Any ideas why I can't? [05:36] emma, you dont need apache and php to learn mysql .. but you do need them if you are learning mysql on LAMP [05:36] hdevalence-: it would be better if you could use ssh instead of telnet ... sudo aptitude install openssh-server [05:37] wassa, you probably need to install the language pack for the language you want [05:37] IcemanV9: I have ssh, but Id like telnet /because/ it's unencrypted [05:37] *I'd [05:37] penars2, imagine if all that separated you from a colony of people with lethal ebola was a 40 foot wall that you were healthy enough to climb. I see the challenges of Linux as being like that wall and the ebola infested mob as windows users. [05:37] hdevalence-, any specific reason for that choice? [05:37] falconer: you just added the program and it just worked? was it a program you installed yourself or though the add/remove window [05:38] I had installed it through synaptic. [05:38] UnOp when I look at open office packages, it appears that every sings JA language pack is already installed [05:38] lucastom: it would be better to ask a question here; there are more ppl that could answer ... give it a few moments [05:38] well, in this case I'm using ssh -X localhost to login as a different user and run gui programs [05:38] I also added a link to a web address [05:38] but encrypting/decrypting adds a lot of overhead [05:39] Case in point. My remote server's openssh-server died. I'm now trying to run it through phpterm, I can get to a prompt as www-data. But I need to be able to sudo. so I can do sudo -u user -p but -p gives a prompt, I can't just specify a password there. Can I pipe it in or something like that? sudo -u user -p < 'password' or sudo -u user -p |password [05:39] when i look at the font that it will use for asian entry,,, it is definitely asian.. however it seems that the font itself is not installed. which begs the question.. what could i be missing? [05:40] I totally get encryption over a real network, but encrytion on localhost seems silly [05:40] Lol. [05:40] what's the lightest web browser that I can use with ubuntu? [05:40] linx [05:40] or dillo if you want graphical [05:40] linx? you mean lynx? [05:41] o yeah [05:41] lol === eagle-101 is now known as eau [05:41] hdevalence-: ah. dunno about telnet with X then. [05:41] Sorry im eating. [05:41] wassa, Simply install the package (note that packages are also in .deb format - deb tag in the file name) or run the installer. [05:41] theneb, to change the UI language, in OOo, go to the menu Tools>Options>Language Settings>Languages. Modify the language in the drop-down list, close OOo and the Quickstarter (in the system tray) if activated and run OOo again. [05:41] wers: dillo is lightweight [05:41] unOp what package am i missing here? [05:41] Dillo does not display CSS though. [05:41] Breakage, is that lighter than epiphany? [05:41] anything? [05:41] i have installed every single package I can think of through the front end [05:42] And no flash. [05:42] no flash? [05:42] ooh [05:42] wassa, you seem to have the packages (openoffice*ja) -- so skip that part [05:42] lucastom: did it show any error message OR where did it freezes at what point? [05:42] that's not for me. I want a light browser where I can run my mebeam [05:42] wassa, just try and change the language now [05:42] it froze there [05:42] for like ever [05:43] i tried to reboot the pc, but no display after taht [05:43] If I want something really bad I wait a day then you know its broken. [05:43] mouseboyx, what? [05:43] any idea? [05:44] There are some things that take a long time. [05:44] lucastom: just installed 7.10 (desktop, server?) then reboot and it froze at where (after linux is loaded or before)? [05:44] It may seem frozen. [05:45] whats a free alternativ to vmware [05:45] its feisty [05:45] Virtual box [05:45] not gusty [05:45] thanks [05:45] Virtual box works better with ubuntu. [05:45] haha, I figured it out myself, in the command line you just type what ever is in the properties command line, you dont have to point it to the actual file [05:45] desktop, froze at remove cd and press enter, and its feisty version [05:46] is there a repo with Virtual box [05:46] lucastom, That means its done correct? [05:46] Yes cjones [05:46] cjones: yes [05:46] Hello. [05:47] Hello sammylegit. [05:47] whats the bash command for it ? === pizdets is now known as penars [05:47] apt-get install virtualbox [05:47] anyone know how to fix the super TINY text in gdm login screen? [05:47] thanks [05:47] UnOp no luck.. repeatedly rebooted [05:47] it stalled on me [05:48] hey guys, okay weird thing happens: CD-ROM Disc gets mounted in my computer even though i have nothing in my cd rom drive.... its kinda freaky [05:48] and i cant do anything about it [05:48] any help guys [05:48] it definitely shows that it is all ready for east language.. however it just won't [05:48] lucastom: feisty .. it should be able to boot up since it completed the install at the end (remove CD) [05:48] penars, You could do an autologin. [05:48] i have anthy enabled too [05:48] lucastom: And when you boot up, hit the ESC key .. and pick the recovery one [05:49] You can try reinstalling it lucastom. [05:49] done that 3 times already [05:49] Oh. [05:49] esc button does not work [05:49] wassa, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4197197 [05:49] Try the alternate Cd? [05:50] frozen at loading , and remove cd then press enter to continue [05:50] What loading? [05:50] like when you boot up ur os [05:50] stuck right there [05:50] Oh. [05:51] Can you install anything else? [05:51] 7.10 gusty does not boot up with live cd [05:51] lucastom: take the CD out, then boot up (without the CD) [05:51] un0p, what is util-linux used for? im supposed to install linux32 and its giving me a warning saying its going to remove that package [05:52] So, it does not boot?

[06:08] lucastom, yes [06:08] this took me 1 hour of thinking to figure out [06:08] sammylegit is a bot [06:08] pi in binary is 11.00100100001111110110 [06:08] That is confusing [06:08] So, I'm assuming that if my wireless card isn't detected at all, there's nothing I can do but buy a Cardbus addon?

[06:59] cleverusername put a /j in front of that [06:59] !inetd [06:59] Sorry, I don't know anything about inetd - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [06:59] lol thanks [06:59] fallore not really, if it doesnt show up in that nvidia control panel, i dunno for sure [06:59] how do I restart proftpd using inetd? [06:59] MasterShrek: i'm not seeing a nvidia control panel [06:59] cleverusername and that is quite a clever user name :) [07:00] does someone know where the nvidia control panel for the proprietary nvidia driver shows up in gnome? [07:00] * MasterShrek is not a gnome user [07:00] MasterShrek: I hear it's apps->system tools [07:00] ahh, fallore ^^ === poodlesucks is now known as dogsson [07:00] * KrisWood looks at his ubuntu box and only sees text [07:01] sorry no gnome here either :) [07:01] KrisWood: you looked at the computer itself? ;] [07:01] heh [07:01] no I looked at the ssh terminal :D [07:01] no ideas on this gparted 'disklabel', never had thi happen before [07:02] the actual machine is 3000 miles away so the only way I get gnome is via vmware console and that's sooooo slow >.< [07:02] profx ive never used gparted, is there any way you can just not set a disk label? [07:03] how i see rmvb files on kubuntu 7.10? [07:03] a disklabel is a piece of data stored at a well known place on the disk, that indicates where each partition beings adn how many sectors it occupies. You need a disklabel if you want to create partitions on this disk. === MasterShrek` is now known as MasterShrek [07:03] MasterShrek`, so thats a no :) [07:04] profx, have you tried using cfdisk from the command line? id dont think ive ever had to manually set this [07:04] nope [07:04] sounds like selecting the partition type [07:04] hola tios.. alguien tiene el script para instalar la version final del amsn 0.97 ? pero la version final, no la 97beta... [07:04] as Gparted finished [07:04] MasterShrek: do you know why my nvidia control panel isn't showing up? [07:04] let me attempt cli [07:04] ahh thank you nickrud, i feel so much more comfortable with xchat, and all my settings are still here :) [07:04] partition table type, that is profx [07:05] fallore, not at all, lsmod | grep nvidia gives you output now right? [07:05] MasterShrek: you could give xchat-gnome a shot, get your feet wet in gnome ;) [07:05] MasterShrek: yes it does [07:05] sorry nickrud ? [07:05] i use xchat in kde [07:06] So, since I can't seem to find anything that works on the forum or google, I'll ask a question I'm sure you've all heard. How do I get the gnome foot instead of ubuntu logo? [07:06] this is my third SATA in this system, do I want it to be a primary ? [07:06] fallore, then i dont konw for sure, let me find something really quick.... [07:06] sry..en english... hello guys..does any1 know a script to install the amsn messenger 0.97final..not the beta version...if anyone could send me i'd be glad :D [07:06] MasterShrek: [07:06] MasterShrek: np, ty [07:06] profx: not sure, but I think it's the partition table type. mneptok reminded me that not all partition tables are msdos types [07:06] dhq@dhq-laptop:~$ compiz --replace [07:06] Checking for Xgl: not present.

[07:07] MasterShrek: nothing seems to have happened. [07:07] Plen0x, you can go to gnome-look.org and find a theme that does that [07:07] no problem KrisWood [07:07] profx: first three partitions primary, then an extended and any others logical [07:07] ere4si, want to suggest one? I can't find anything. [07:07] ah [07:07] k [07:07] profx: my style anyway [07:08] how do i make something the default program to open a filetype?

[07:08] fallore, im not sure then, i always install the driver manually from nvidia's website and it has the xconfig program, i always thought it had it with ubuntu too, maybe you need another package, but i have no idea which one [07:08] ugh [07:08] MasterShrek: i hope you wont be offended then if i ask the rest of the channel? [07:08] disk type ? [07:09] 83 Linux ? [07:09] jasmin__: wiki.compiz-fusion.org/Hardware/Blacklist , also has instructions on how to override that error [07:09] ere4si, sigh.

Not sure of the details === UnsafeData is now known as HumanOdyssey [07:13] ic, very interesting [07:13] apt-get over aptitude ? [07:13] yup. I keep having to backspace [07:13] hmmm [07:13] i liked aptitude :( [07:15] after changing the settings of ubuntu to plugnplay instead of generic i had more screen resolutions available - logged out, logged back in, everything fine. for three days i was using windows for other reasons then when i finally decided to use ubuntu i had a problem. said all screen resolutions failed, [it weas a command line, didn't go into gnome] then gave me a login. logged in, then it was [07:15] command line [07:15] what do i do [07:15] * MasterShrek likes compiling from source :) [07:15] i dont know anything about the command line and it's ironic because i was going into gnome so i can look off a site to learn how to use the command line and to use the terminal there to practice since i really wanted to try to learn it.. ironic aint it [07:16] * nickrud abjectly admits his utter reliance on apt because he's too lazy to compile [07:16] how do i find the ip address of my cable modem ?

How can i enable hyperthreading on this cpu and then have 4 logical cpus. [07:40] nickrud: now what doi hav to do for that [07:40] FATAL ERROR: Cannot open disk drive Press any key to exit cfdisk [07:40] this on doing sudo cfdisk /dev/sd [07:40] rajasun that didn't work, I installed it again, and i still get "no wallpapers were found..." error and cannot get into the config window. any ideas? [07:40] shady_inc: sudo cfdisk /dev/sda or whatever it is [07:40] profx: If I may copy/paste ONE line .... [07:40] Jasmin_: get a different video card, or maybe wait till a better driver for your intel 965 comes out. compiz is still really new and doesn't work on all cards [07:40] nickrud: i hav intel graphics card [07:40] Ashfire908: find ! -name 'mystring' [07:40] k [07:41] jscinoz: i dont think HT works like that? I mean I could be wrong, but I thought HT was just a fast bus for instructions to get from one part of the chip to the other [07:41] or myglobstring [07:41] oops, FATAL ERROR: Bad logical partition 6: enlarged logical partitions overlap Press any key to exit cfdisk [07:41] i believe you are right Shinma [07:41] pewpewpew: problem could have just been that i was using a 3D program..

[07:42] jscinoz, isnt a core2duo just a dual core? you shouldnt have 4 i dont think [07:42] I am having an unusual problem, when my monitor gets shutoff by DPMS it wont come back (seems the computer freezes as the caps lock key shows nothing on the keyboard). I'm using a Samsung 225BW with the latest official ATI driver and an ATI X1600. No errors or anything, but checking xset q shows my DPMS settings get reset all the time [07:42] to 0 0 0 i mean [07:42] nickrud: but i hav intel so now itel doesnt work compiz ? [07:42] err intel [07:42] Jasmin_: not the 965 , or many versions of it [07:43] Ashfire908: no ! does not need to be escaped, here is an example ... find ! -name '*.txt' [07:43] So, I guess it will be better asking in ubuntuforums.? [07:43] Jasmin_: that page I gave you is the official info from the compiz developers [07:43] shady_inc, or in #linux maybe [07:43] Does anyone know if there are drivers that I might need for a DVD-RW ? [07:43] aint it plug n pray? [07:44] ok...thanks.! [07:44] nickrud: ok any other idea u hav to use on intel [07:44] nicholaspaul, i wouldnt think you need drivers for it [07:44] Does anyone have a wireless utility that they'd endorse? Something graphical I can use to view signal strength, encryption type, etc on available networks would be just dandy. [07:44] nickrud after i uninstalled wallpaper-tray, I installed it again, and i still get "no wallpapers were found..." error and cannot get into the config window. any ideas? [07:44] rredd4: sorry wasn't around earlier, so may have missed the earlier convo but did you install wallpaper-tray off the official repo or di you compile from source? sudo apt-get --purge remove wallpaper-tray should have remove the package and purged any configs it may have. although user-specific i.e. those not meant for all other users you may have on your system may remain in perhaps say ~/.wallpaper-tray [07:44] MasterShrek: it reads, but wont write DVDs. I get the error: :-[ READ DISC INFORMATION failed with SK=3h/ASC=57h/ACQ=00h]: Input/output error [07:45] (at least my question marks got attention, but they didnt get an answer....) [07:45] eshear, no luck. Tried all these so far :P [07:45] Jasmin_: nope. But you might be able to find someone active on #compiz-fusion with more insight [07:45] nickrud: ok thanks [07:45] nicholaspaul, i dont use gnome, much less gnome-baker, but you can install k3b (its a kde program, so youll itll install some kde libraries) it will run under gnome, and i havent found a better cd/dvd burning program for linux yet [07:46] rajasun i am only user, yes installed off of official repo, did not compile. I copy pasted your command [07:46] nickrud: i wil try on that chenal [07:46] ok ill ask in the forums , thanks anyway [07:46] eshear, even. Read up :P [07:46] Damn it >.< [07:46] MasterShrek: I've tried Gnomebaker, Brasero, Graveman, K3b, .... they all fail. [07:46] still having issues mounting, mount -a gives 'mount error 111 = connecton refused' [07:46] rredd4_: I've never used the program, so I'm checking it out [07:47] nickrud ok === u^A is now known as u^A_ [07:47] asking me to look at man mount.cifs, yet its 'suppose' to be ext3 [07:47] nicholaspaul, interesting, i dunno what to tell ya then, try alt+f2 and typing: gksudo gnome-baker and try to burn it using administrator privlidges [07:47] rajasun i googled the error, no luck [07:47] rredd4_: Hmmm strange. I don't use wallpaper-tray to manage my wallpapers. I have webilder-gnome - grab it from www.getdeb.org - to do it for me. [07:48] ok [07:48] MasterShrek: hmm good call. I'll give it a shot. Thanks man! [07:48] no prob nicholaspaul good luck :) [07:48] MasterShrek: I'm going in.... [07:48] * nicholaspaul holds nose. [07:49] * MasterShrek grabs a snorkel [07:49] rredd4_: it core dumped on me. And, the configuration dialog is _ancient_ , I think this is an app that needs to be dropped or given a lot of love [07:49] lol [07:50] i agree [07:50] I have a drive that I can access through places > computer and then i see the icon, double click it, put in the password and it is then mounted. How do I have it automatically mount when I log in? note: i am running ubuntu 7.10 and the drive is in ntfs format since i used it to store files when I am on xp since my computer has 2 OSs (XP and ubuntu)..? [07:50] norty: edit /etc/fstab [07:50] !fstab | norty [07:50] norty: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [07:50] !ntfs > norty (read the private message from ubotu) [07:50] MasterShrek: poo. Gnomebaker won't even startup. Not with ALTF2 and/or commandline. [07:50] have fun with fstab in gutsy uuid sucks [07:51] !ntfs | norty [07:51] norty: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see /msg ubotu NTFS-3g or /msg ubotu FUSE [07:51] well it doesn't suck but for me it is craziness [07:51] nicholaspaul, eww, k3b? [07:51] travisat: get used to it, it's going to adopted everywhere soon [07:51] travisat, you dont HAVE to use uuid [07:51] nickrud i will just remove it, forever [07:51] MasterShrek: alrighty [07:51] * MasterShrek wont conform [07:51] lol [07:51] rredd4_: I beat you to it [07:52] lol [07:52] I suppose I don't have to, its just that it took me forever to get a seperate home partition up because I didn't realize I needed to put the uuid instead of the /dev/foo in fstab [07:52] u [07:52] MasterShrek: first time the kernel changes device id's out from under you, you will come in. Maybe kicking and screaming, but come in : [07:52] rredd4_: one radical...could be extreme solution...do a dpkg -L wallpaper-tray, note down all the files the package installs and their locations, do a sudo apt-get --purge remove wallpaper-tray, then check to see manually if each and every file of wallpaper-tray's has indeed been removed by the apt-get --purge remove operation. If not remove them manually via sudo rm -r /path/to/file. [07:53] my only issue with uuid is that it is so big [07:53] and fugly [07:53] if I had to do some grub editting in grub, my life might be bad [07:53] nickrud, why and when would the kernel do such a thing? ive compiled many many kernels and never had a problem with it [07:53] rajasun ok, ty [07:53] rredd4: np [07:54] Does anyone have a wireless utility that they'd endorse? Something graphical I can use to view signal strength, encryption type, etc on available networks would be just dandy. Thanks in advance. [07:54] i always thought the uuid thing was for if you were to phyiscally move the drive, say on a different controller [07:54] MasterShrek: I'm not really up on all the stuff, but that's why the uuid's are coming in. And it is kinda nice. I split a partition in two (before my linux partitions) and didn't have to edit fstab even though the /dev/hdX changed for everything (did have to make one change to grub, though) [07:55] rajasun does webilder change desktop pics at a specified time interval? [07:55] !libata [07:55] Sorry, I don't know anything about libata - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [07:55] !uuid [07:55] To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [07:55] ic, im sure it will make things easier in the long run, but it will be quite a pain to adapt imho [07:56] MasterShrek: k3b run as root seems to try a bit harder, but still fails. I have a loooong error log if you like... [07:56] nicholaspaul, if you want to pastebin it ill take a look, but no promises :) [07:56] MasterShrek: as soon as grub uses uuid's for (hdx,x) in it's stanza's it will really be good [07:57] MasterShrek: hehe thanks! wheres the pastebin (me forgot) [07:57] !paste [07:57] pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [07:57] rredd4_: yes...but I disabled that option on my desktop machine. It actually does more than that, it can download wallpapers off flickr and other sites you specify. [07:57] rajasun ty [07:57] well if the uuid was somewhat shorter I would have no problem, or if there was an easy way to change the uuid to something user entered like home root var etc [07:57] nickrud, i suppose, it will make it much less confusing when configuring grub since it starts at 0 instead of 1 [07:58] rredd4: np [07:58] fanks MasterShrek [07:58] MasterShrek: the only real pain I've run into is dd copies over the uuid to the new partition. Confuses the heck out of linux [07:59] when there are two identical uuid's [07:59] ooh, never thought about that, definately that would be a pain [07:59] MasterShrek: my error is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53528/ [07:59] i always thought uuid was a hardware identifier of some sort or something [08:00] tune2fs -U random writes a new unique uuid to the partition though [08:00] oh, i didnt know that [08:01] I went round and round with a guy that did a dd , finally learned enough to sort it out [08:01] nicholaspaul, you call that a long log? lol [08:01] nicholaspaul, looks like growisofs is the culprit [08:01] MasterShrek: um... well, i'm not too patient when it comes to.. oh look a bug on my ceiling... where was I? [08:01] anyway, it's a night see you all later [08:01] later nickrud [08:02] MasterShrek: who is Growisofs? [08:02] Hello. === travisat is now known as growisofs [08:02] I am groisofs [08:02] I would like some help with my audio. I can't get my microphone to work correctly === growisofs is now known as travisat [08:02] nicholaspaul, its a program, something to do with the burning process [08:02] lol @ travisat [08:02] hallo growisofs! [08:03] should i reinstall it or something? MasterShrek [08:03] nicholaspaul, not sure exactly what the problem would be though [08:03] i doubt reinstalling growisofs is going to do it, maybe upgrading it [08:03] is your system up-to-date? [08:04] yea, i do all upgrades immediately. [08:04] hmm [08:04] nick pandab34r === josh__ is now known as pandab34r [08:04] mm [08:04] altho i'm only on 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon [08:05] does anyone know if knapster works in ubuntu? [08:05] nicholaspaul, thats the latest stable version, i wouldnt even begin to suggest upgrading to hardy [08:05] !p2p | pandab34r [08:05] pandab34r: Peer-to-peer filesharing clients are available for several networks/protocols, including !BitTorrent, !Gnutella, !eDonkey, !DirectConnect, !SoulSeek - Multi-protocol engines include !MLDonkey and !giFT - See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/P2PFileSharing for general information [08:06] MasterShrek: oh ok. And this is a brand new burner. I seriously doubt thats the culprit... [08:07] Im not talking about p2p... mostly just napster b/c i already have the service [08:07] nicholaspaul, brand new eh? possibly is a driver issue then, you may need an updated kernel, which probably wont be available until 8.04, unless you compile one manually [08:07] nickrud: hey can u giv that link to me again [08:08] nicholaspaul, you may have been right from the beginning after all lol [08:08] what is the command to unmount a disk? [08:08] umout [08:08] umount*** [08:08] Jasmin_, he left, ill get it for you though [08:08] norty, umount [08:08] MasterShrek: hahaha!! me? right? yikes.... [08:09] MasterShrek: i'm not keen on compiling anything myself....i guess i could google the model no. of the drive. [08:09] MasterShrek: ok [08:10] it says umount: sda1 is not mounted (according to mtab) .. ? [08:10] Jasmin_, i guess i lied, i cant scroll up far enough :( [08:10] what happens if your lips and faces are dry? and do you care about bottom of my feet? [08:10] norty, used sudo?

[08:15] nicholaspaul, probably that the kernel isnt the most bleeding-edge [08:15] MasterShrek: ahh. one bug reporter claimed forcing 6x speed worked...weird! === bagus is now known as Co_peneRang [08:16] nicholaspaul, can you do me a favor though, in a terminal type: uname -r and give me the output?

[08:45] excuse me, i wonder how can i open file with php extension, and if i open it in firefox it will give me a dialog to download ...... [08:46] hi all [08:46] cox377: I'd recommend epiphany or konqueror [08:46] cox377: i'll see if i can find the program.. but there's a lighter browser than firefox but which has more features than epiphany [08:46] opera? [08:46] anyone can sugest what hdd exterior to by that is working with ubuntu? [08:46] konqueror only if you are using kde imo [08:47] konqueror is my browser of choice [08:47] drgeb: I think there is no defintie answer to your question "if your system is startingup ok" in your strict sense. [08:47] but i wouldn't like using it outside of kde [08:47] Stupid^Kid: install php5, libapache2-mod-php5 [08:47] How do I change the permissions (read-only) of a file on my comp? [08:48] drgeb: I think there is no definite answer to your question "if your system is startingup ok" in your strict sense. [08:48] I can open it with sudo but if I just try to change the properties through the dialog box it says I don't have permission [08:48] phaidros: use chmod [08:48] phylogenesis: with sudo access.

[08:49] sudo apt-get install php5 libapache2-mod-php5 [08:49] DoomGuard: He simply wants to change permission, which is chmod. [08:49] similar to attrib on windows.

[08:50] restart * [08:50] ijn: drivers are already in the kernel for almost every hard drive, really old or really wierd ones aren't guarenteed to work but probably will, just get one from a major manufacturer like western digital or seagate and you should have no problems [08:50] brb [08:50] travisat:cause most of hdd says that works for xp and mac [08:51] cox377: the speed's fine for me, but firefox uses too much memory [08:51] phylogenesis: You would need 3rd party utility, such as ntfs-3g to have read/write access on your ntfs partition. [08:51] ok I see...:) [08:51] hello im totally new to linux/ubuntu and am trying to install on a partition.. can someone please help me? have no idea what this moount point stuff is [08:51] ijn: that is because they don't provide drivers for linux [08:51] !install | smidgeyyy [08:51] smidgeyyy: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways.

[08:52] what aould you preffer? [08:52] ijn: I prefer WD, and/or Maxtor.

[08:53] anyone installed xbmc onto your ubuntu? [08:53] in fact I need something around 50-80 gb [08:53] but at 7200rpm [08:53] i partitioned a new drive in windows.. i clicked on the manual partion option now am presented with a /dev/sda and 3 seperate partions attached to it.. i can see the one i partioned earlier. based on its size and it has a mount point of /media/sda5 [08:53] norty: install gdesklet, and implement calender widget on it.. (if there is one) [08:53] ijn: for internel you can get a 250gb for about 50-80 bucks [08:53] no only external im talking [08:53] travisat: you can get 500gb for 100 bucks. [08:54] jqk: I got a 500 for 100 bucks : ) [08:54] !xbmc [08:54] Sorry, I don't know anything about xbmc - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [08:54] travisat: Nice.. [08:54] ok guys thanks a lot..:) [08:54] fallore: I don't have xbox , sorry. [08:55] hey, i just read the news about wine 0.9.54 and the photoshop support but i can't get the newest wine version installed :s i'm using ubuntu and using the winehq debian/ubuntu repo but the version that get's installed is 0.9.53 :s any help around? [08:55] wine-doors is pretty nice [08:55] jqk: xbmc can now be installed on ubuntu, not just xbox [08:56] Hmm, Photoshop CS sounds good to me. I wonder if It will work with the trial? [08:56] jqk: i just can't open it, and i install apache php5 and so on [08:56] fallore: I know, [08:56] Stupid^Kid: restart your apache, to take effect .. I've said that ~5 min ago. [08:57] jfuirnefjdk: i don't know but i wanne give it a try but can't get the right version installed through the official wine repo :s [08:57] dirken: if you can wait a couple days, the .9.54 was just released yesterday [08:57] so the binary for ubuntu might not be up yet [08:57] The Ubuntu repository doesn't have the proper version? [08:57] jqk: yea , i restart it but still nothing happen [08:57] Can someone help me get my wireless connection working? I can see my card, I've edited the settings, but when I try to connect it just says it's making the changes, then tells me I'm disconnected [08:57] Perhaps you should install from source if it doesn't. [08:57] salam [08:57] Stupid^Kid: How did you restart it? [08:57] then it connects with the wired connection I'm on right now [08:57] travisat: released yesterday, doesn't that mean that they should have updated their own repo's yesterday with the latest version? [08:57] ubuntu configures my network interface when my computer starts but i can't ping anyone. if i run /etc/init.d/network/networking restart it works again anyone know what the trouble might be? [08:58] /etc/init.d/apache2 restart [08:58] jfuirnefjdk: indeed, the ubuntu repo is still one version behind [08:58] dirken: no just because the sources are released doesn't mean the binary will be yet [08:58] :) [08:58] dirken: should be up soon I would think [08:59] Stupid^Kid: Try testing php .. see if it works. [08:59] travisat: ok thx a lot!!! [09:00] Yeah I checked mine is indeed outdated. [09:00] jqk: yes, it works [09:00] I'm going to go ask in #crossover which version of wine 6.2 pro is based on. [09:01] its really not outdated its just that the newest was just released yesterday, somebody volunteers their time to compile the source to make the ubuntu binary and hasn't got one up yet [09:01] lol I didn't know it was released only yesterday? [09:01] Does anyone know the minimum system requirements for JeOS? I can't find very much info on JeOS through google, is there a GUI window manager or is it all command line? [09:01] the 54 was [09:02] Stupid^Kid: No idea, you might want to ask in #Apache [09:03] jqk: thank you [09:03] I know this is blasphemy but I have a windows question. Why does it take forever for my windows to boot... It's a clean install and I cant ever get it to go to the desktop [09:03] it doesnt work on ubuntu either, I get the tty error [09:03] nelsonuwp Is it a pirated copy? [09:04] no [09:04] nelsonuwp: most likely it is because you have windows installed [09:04] Haha travisat. [09:04] having windows installed makes windows boot up slow [09:04] i've been trying to fix this for the last 14 hours [09:04] nelsonuwp Try another distro for the sake of knowing if your PC is capable of booting anything at all [09:04] no luck [09:04] jfuirnefjdk: Did you installed anything after a clean install? [09:04] does anyone know how to set a default gateway? [09:04] Wrong user? [09:05] I compiled a custom kernel, but when I found out I couldn't use the nvidia driver anymore, I removed the entry from grub and rebooted. Everything is working fine, but I don't know how to uninstall the custom kernel. Is it fine to just leave it? [09:05] I just built this computer today.. my 750gb hdd was DOA and I'm thinking my motherboard isnt working correctly either [09:05] well is your hardware all right, can you boot live cds or the like and check your memory or hard drive for errors? [09:05] I tried booting th elive cd and i get the tty error [09:05] nelsonuwp: what processor and mobo? [09:06] gigabyte ga-73pvm-s2h mobo and a intel c2d e4500 2.2ghz cpu\ [09:06] Narlzac85: there should be a package in the package manager, assuming you made a deb before you installed it [09:07] hmm, could be a memory problem. do you have more then 1 stick of memory? [09:07] I am currently checking my memory for erros using the diagnostic tool [09:07] oh kk was going to suggest that [09:07] yes i have 2 corsair sticks [09:07] take out one and see how it works?

[09:08] I installed vista just fine and then when it restarted the computer it would sit on the scrolling green thing for a while and never make it [09:10] nelsonuwp: hmm you sure it isn't your hard drive, the live cd, if your hd is messed up takes forever to boot because it tries for like a minute to get the hd working so you can install linux on the hd [09:10] I dont think so [09:11] when you login what is the gui application called? [09:11] I dont knw how to check if it is my hard drive anymore [09:12] sysop: gdm [09:12] ? [09:12] can you change the color scheme of your terminal without messing up what its already doing?

[09:14] nelsonuwp, er fsck [09:14] nelsonuwp: fsck is the file system checker [09:14] nelsonuwp, in terminal do fsck /dev/hda1 hda1=your partition [09:14] i cant make it to a terminal [09:14] nelsonuwp, you can do it from a terminal, or do it from the bootcd [09:14] nelsonuwp, I told you from a livecd. [09:15] nelsonuwp: have you tried a different live cd you can fsck from almost all linux live cds [09:15] I have found the ubuntu one to be picky [09:15] travisat, your issue != everyone elses. [09:15] nelsonuwp, if you can make it to a terminal, that should be fine. [09:16] jqk: I dont think you understand, I DONT want to see the Applications, etc... just this app [09:16] i cant make it to the delive part [09:16] i mean the live part [09:16] how can i check if i have open-gl support? i've got an nvidia 7900 with restricted drivers and 3d acceleration activated [09:16] i get part of the way there and it gives me..... [09:16] hi! [09:16] And if you need to do it because at boottime it tells you to do it manually. Then add the option -y. It might be tricky, but you don't have to push yes a thousand times [09:16] What can I do to get answers? I've looked through the help files, I tried things I've done before, it's like everything is fine except it just won't conect. [09:16] nelsonuwp, edit grub, remove quite splash -- and replace it with all_generic_ide [09:16] bin/s: can't access tty; job control tunrend off [09:16] *done before when I eventually got it to work* [09:16] does the debian package manager have an equivalent command to rpm's -Va ? [09:17] can someone please help me with installing ubuntu on a partition? please pm me [09:17] nelsonuwp, to edit grub from the livecd press F6 [09:17] nelsonuwp, try the livecd then [09:17] nelsonuwp, then replace what I told you [09:17] Parsec300, he said he can't don't you read? [09:18] hence why I told him to do what he needs to do in order to be able to boot.

[09:22] can you type startx [09:22] HardDisk: GMD, looks like the beast I am looking for, you know of an easy way to add one? [09:22] If not can anyone tell me if there is an updated tasksel in gusty-proposed? [09:23] smidgeyyy: how is your system setup currently [09:23] no, i cannot [09:23] HardDisk: GMD, looks like the beast I am looking for, you know of an easy way to add one (without interfearing with everything else)?

[09:23] i'm trying to get any sort of operating system on my computer whatsoever [09:23] sysop, yes download them from gnome-look.org then open login window in administration, go to local, and drag the compressed file to the screen and it will be added. [09:24] sysop, OR you can install gnome-art [09:24] o rofl [09:24] sysop, and you can automagically, choose and install the ones you want [09:24] sorry im dumb [09:24] HardDisk: lol, no I want to install My app, not a download (unless I should package it for some reason) [09:24] indygunfreak: i've tried vista, it installs fine and then hangs when it boots up. I've tried ubuntu, I get an error about TTy [09:25] nelsonuwp: you sure you don't have some sort of hardware issue? [09:25] HardDisk: I cant type startx, or aynthing.

[09:26] I use HTB queue [09:26] sysop, oh you want to create your own, well http://www.gtk.org/tutorial/ [09:26] nelson, yeah, sounds like you've got some sort if failure on the MB. [09:26] with TC command to shape the traffic [09:27] IGF: does that sound like a MB failure? i've never built a pc before [09:27] nelsonuwp: only makes sense, if Vista is failing, and so is Ubuntu, something is hokey w/ the motherboard. [09:27] nelsonuwp: you sure it isn't a vid card error? [09:27] if I want to find out if I've already got mysql installed on my ubuntu server what would the command be to find out? [09:27] vid card is on the mb [09:27] nelsonuwp, unfortunately your errors seem physical. I would go through troubleshooting, but it's too much work for me right now. [09:27] nelsonuwp: only way to rule it out, is remove everything but video device, and motherboard, and try to install an OS. [09:27] HardDisk: lol, no I have created the app, I just need to know how to install it as a GDM, not how to write it [09:27] nm foun it [09:28] there's nothing in it right now [09:28] nelsonuwp: ah well then, could very well be your mobo [09:28] sysop, yes, read the site. [09:28] tells you how to package them. [09:28] all it is is MB, some ram, CPU, HDD and a dvd drive [09:28] smidgeyyy: do you still need help? [09:28] nelsonuwp: well, i'd say you've got it bare minimum. [09:28] I'm just trying to make a HTPC [09:28] sysop, what you need to search for is how to package gdm [09:29] nelsonuwp: did you order your stuff online and have it delivered and if so was your mobo and hd in same box? [09:29] nelsonuwp: don't by cvhance have an old XP disk do you [09:29] HardDisk: sorry for not being as elliquent as I should be [09:29] or a hiren bootcd [09:29] i will in an hour.... [09:29] ha [09:29] lol [09:29] Thanks jqk [09:29] well, try XP, see what hapens, if XP fails also, then we know its some hardware issue. [09:29] HardDisk: This is a tutorial on how to use GTK (the GIMP Toolkit) through its C interface.??? Isnt this a how to write an application page??? [09:29] travisat: the hdd and the mb were in the same box but the hdd was really packaged well [09:29] like lots of bubble wrap [09:29] nelsonuwp: but thats the direction im' leaning on this one, w/ Ubuntu and vista failing [09:30] yes indygunfreak.. need help [09:30] There are a lot of good plugins for compiz fusion that aren't in packages. Who is resposible for making packages? Just anyone who feels like it? [09:30] i know [09:30] does anyone know how to fix the 301 error you get when trying to update the medibuntu repositories? [09:30] i private msg'd you [09:30] sysop, that's why I rectified and you need to search how to package a gdm [09:30] i was gonna try xp next [09:30] also we are getting off topic. [09:30] smidgeyyy: i don't take messages, and second, you can't send messages unless your registered [09:30] but what if xp works, i'm stuck with crappy XP [09:30] ok sorry [09:30] smidgeyyy: describe your current partition setup [09:30] HardDisk: ok, so I should package it, cool [09:30] nelsonuwp: if xp works just fine then it isn't a hardware issue [09:30] i created a 30gb partion in windows [09:30] true [09:30] travisat, that's not true. [09:30] when i click on the manual button [09:31] ..not true [09:31] can you help me about QoS on my Ubuntu machine? [09:31] well if xp works you can usually make linux work [09:31] it comes up with this '/dev/sda [09:31] '/dev/sda1 FAT16 /media/sda1 73mb 33mb used [09:31] '/dev/sda2 NTFS /media/sda2 120gb 38gb used [09:31] '/dev/sda5 NTFS /media/sda5 35gb unkown used [09:31] it should be just plug and play === bitsy is now known as bytesup [09:31] Fun Fact of the Moment: A toothpick is the object most often choked on by Americans.

[09:31] like for my example xp had no problem detecting my hard drive, but linux wouldn't, turned out linux doesn't like my sata to ide converter so I changed some bios options and now linux works just fine with my hd [09:31] and how can newegg seriously make me pay for TWO items that were damaged when they arrived? [09:31] sda2 is where windows is [09:32] smidgeyyy: ok, whast the fat16 partition? [09:32] nelsonuwp, #ubuntu-offtopic [09:32] its something for DELL stuff === Tyro2 is now known as Ann1 [09:32] ok. [09:32] smidgeyyy: don't delete that partition [09:32] yeah i dont want to :D or sda2 [09:32] travisat: lol, i wasn't going to suggest he do that. [09:32] IndyGunFreak: I know people that have [09:33] smidgeyyy: so whast the problem when you select SDA5? [09:33] when i press forward [09:33] it says you havent selected a mount path [09:33] smidgeyyy: ok, are you using the text installer, or the live CD? [09:34] i d/l the ISO from the site and burnt it to a CD [09:34] so i guess thats a live cd? [09:34] smidgeyyy: ok, that doesn't really answer my question, can you see an ubuntu desktop, surf the internet if you like?.. or are you going through a series of text menus? [09:34] desktop [09:34] ok, thats the live cd [09:35] so where are you right now, where you click manual partition? [09:35] yep i can navigate and do stuff. looks to have loaded it from cd [09:35] smidgeyyy: ok. [09:35] in a prepare partitions screen [09:36] smidgeyyy: ok, so click on SDA5 [09:36] yep [09:36] HardDisk: Ough crap, I am sorry, Not the login window, the thing that comes up after you login??? [09:36] smidgeyyy: one last question, how much system ram do you have? [09:36] 2gb [09:37] smidgeyyy: ok, so right click on SDA5, and choose "new" [09:37] sysop, oh you mean the splash [09:37] sysop, just the png file? [09:37] hi..got prob here >> http://jasper.pastebin.com/m5bdee048 [09:37] I think he means the window managaer [09:37] no new option [09:37] hmm.. [09:37] how to solve it? anyone knows? [09:37] only edit partition, delete partition, uno changes to partitions [09:37] *undo [09:38] HardDisk: no, the whole ui of the screen like gnome the thing with the clock and the start bar, I want to write a new one of thoes [09:38] ah [09:38] in my bottom taskbar, where it shows your open windows etc, my trash can icon is in the middle and scrunching up the window names. how can i move it? [09:38] smidgeyyy: here's what i would do..... [09:38] yep [09:38] ? [09:38] window manager yea :) [09:38] cuz something isn't making sense [09:38] a theme [09:38] wait, [09:39] sysop: why exactly do you want to make a window manager? [09:39] HardDisk: ahh, a Windowmanager!!!! yea! that has to be it! KDE, Gnome, etc!!! yea [09:39] sysop, you have the entire theme as a whole, OR the window borders and controls seperately. [09:39] smidgeyyy: what if you deleted that partition, then let the installer partition the free space? [09:39] JUST MAKE SURE, THATS THE PARTITION YOU WANT TO USE [09:40] ok will try [09:40] sysop to create a whole new window manager gui....you sure you want to do that? [09:40] HardDisk: HardDisk, its a full screen app, so it handels all of that [09:40] HardDisk: yes [09:40] HardDisk: its already done [09:40] smidgeyyy: delete partition, then after that, we'll setup the unallocated space [09:41] ok.. i have to head off for a bit [09:41] will be back in 40 mins. [09:41] sysop: if you just want the user to be able to access one program then you have more options then making a new window manager [09:41] even i using apt-get clean..error come out also [09:41] well i'll probably be gone, but good luck on it. [09:41] i don know what to do [09:41] sysop, I'm sorry if I'm still unclear, can you show me a screenshot of what you mean? === fallore_ is now known as fallore [09:41] ok thanks anyways indy. [09:41] i just deleted it then can create a new partition [09:42] smidgeyyy: ok, [09:42] have options to do primary or logical partition [09:42] this begining or end stuff [09:42] ext3 [09:42] HardDisk: unfortunatly no, I have a nondisclosure :-( wish I could [09:43] no worries. [09:43] smidgeyyy: ok, i can't remember if swap is a logical or primary(pretty sure its primary), [09:43] sysop: hmm I think you are asking in the wrong place [09:43] smidgeyyy: but you need to create a 3gig swap partition [09:43] sysop, wait a sec, are you working with LiraNuna or KristianL on this? [09:43] cause I know they are making a new window manager [09:44] ok [09:44] smidgeyyy: so you have a 3gig swap now [09:44] ? [09:44] i created one as primary. 30 gb worth [09:44] then created a second one made it as swap [09:44] only 3 gb [09:44] smidgeyyy: ok.. click next [09:44] and had it as at the end [09:44] HardDisk: The details of the app are not important, its really as simple as, add an entry like gnome to run my app instead of gnome, how? [09:44] smidgeyyy: i'm pretty sure swap should be at the beginning.. [09:44] but odn't hold me to that. [09:44] should it? [09:44] sysop: it is possilbe to make x load with no external window manager and load a program [09:45] thast where i've always put it [09:45] whats the difference between logical and primary drive [09:45] smidgeyyy: it may not matter. [09:45] ? [09:45] HardDisk: no, who are they? [09:45] gnome is the desktop environment.. [09:45] so are you creating a replacement to gnome/kde? or are you creating a window manager for gnome/kde? [09:45] [Gutsy] Is the 'Documentation' folder originally contained in /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.22/ or in /usr/share/doc/linux-doc-2.6.22/? [09:45] bahhhh i have to go.. hopefully u'll still be here when i get back.. [09:45] if not thanks anyways for your help [09:45] much appreciated [09:46] np [09:46] travisat: of course it is, how do you thinkgnome "starts"? [09:46] yep [09:46] in anycase you are in the wrong channel sysop you have to go to another channel that is involved in the development processes of linux environments [09:46] this is the ubuntu support channel. [09:47] HardDisk: a replacement for gnome/kde, only want to be able to switch through gdm [09:47] meh this isn't as complicated as you would think [09:47] !ot [09:47] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [09:47] HardDisk: Ahh, ok, where should I be? [09:47] sysop [09:47] sysop, ask in #linux [09:47] open a terminal [09:48] go to /usr/share/xsessions [09:48] HardDisk: thanks,and sorry [09:48] sysop: or maybe #gnome [09:48] hi [09:48] or #gnome, yep. [09:48] #gnome [09:48] cp an existing .desktop to your new name [09:48] ive got an old computer with CD ROM reader which can't boot ubuntu [09:48] edit the new .desktop file changing name and exec to your choice [09:48] done [09:48] in bios, ive set it to boot from ATAPI CD ROM first, but it still wont boot ubuntuž [09:48] ubuntu* [09:48] whats wrong ? [09:49] oh btw, it also wont boot puppy, fedora or anything else [09:49] Whats the file that shows up when someone connect to a ssh server? (Not the motd that appear when you sucessfully login) [09:49] how old how much ram [09:49] maybe 256 [09:49] very old [09:49] it's got windoze 98 [09:49] oh no [09:49] Boris_, is it reading the actual drive? [09:49] Boris_: have yhou tried booting the alternate install CD? [09:49] its got128 mb of ram [09:49] IndyGunFreak, i'll try [09:50] yea as IndyGunFreak said. [09:50] what about dsl (damn small linux) [09:50] HardDisk, yes, i can read CDs in widoze [09:50] Boris_: well, you'll have to download it, but ti was just a question. [09:50] !alternate | Boris_ [09:50] Boris_: The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode installation CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD. It can also be used as an upgrade CD. - See also !minimal [09:50] I'm surprised it doesn't boot puppy. [09:50] Ubuntu worked on my 192ram. But the graphical installer didn't. [09:50] lol I already did to my system what sysop wanted by making a new wm called firefox so now I can boot straight to firefox [09:50] HardDisk: Boris_ if it doesn't boot puppy, that strongly suggests he's burning the ISO wrong [09:50] perhaps the minimal install would be better--though with only 128 I seriously doubt ubuntu will run at all [09:51] bazhang, that comp doesnt have interned, but its got 1.2 GB of space, so i wanna make some use of it [09:51] bazhang: lol, perhaps? [09:51] IndyGunFreak, true. [09:51] IndyGunFreak, I _can_ boot puppy [09:51] ;) [09:51] Boris_: when you burn the iso, how do you do it [09:51] you said you couldn't. meh [09:51] Boris_: i thought you said you couldn't [09:51] Boris_: geexbox [09:52] Boris_: "oh btw, it also wont boot puppy, fedora or anything else" [09:52] IndyGunFreak, my old comp [09:52] the comp im currently using can [09:52] Boris_: oh ok.. so the iso is good. [09:52] yep [09:53] bazhang, im not looking to play vids [09:53] Boris_: ok, so you need to look at the text installer, for 1, you don't have enough ram to run the live cd(which was right there on the page you downloaded from) [09:53] I think some people just come in here to have fun at the expense of others :) [09:53] Boris_: the best I can say is that it can run linux, but ubuntu (gnome) is just not in the cards with that little ram [09:54] xubuntu alternative is a good choice. [09:54] bazhang: thats also a good point.. xfce is even gonna be slow on that machine, might look at fluxbuntu. [09:54] heck [09:55] i completely forgot that [09:55] IndyGunFreak: yeah, fluxbuntu might just work [09:55] ty people [09:55] bazhang: i think so.., [09:55] bazhang: xfce, has gradually been getting heavier, and heavier, the days of running it on 64mb of Ram, is pretty much over. [09:55] Boris_: #fluxbuntu can give you the scoop [09:55] *at least under ubuntu [09:56] IndyGunFreak: excellent point [09:56] flux, englightenment, and the other one i can't remember, have remained true to really working on archaic hardware [09:56] enlightenment is lightweight ??? [09:56] i didnt know that [09:57] Boris_: to my knowledge, its on par w/ flux.. [09:57] anyone here got ATI HD2600PRO ? [09:57] Boris_: you might also to want to look into goblinx, slax, or something else uber-light--the best I had running with that little ram was dreamlinux 2.2 (debian based) [09:57] but I hate Englightment, so i've not used it much... Flux has a strange place in my heart [09:57] hm. strange behavior. userlist is disabled by default [09:58] bazhang: but wasn't dream based on Breezy repos? the biggest prob i had w/ it, was instaling software, every freakin repo was closed. [09:58] me likes blackbox and open box but !ot [09:58] Boris_: you might also want to look at a straight Debian Xfce install [09:59] IndyGunFreak: the earlier versions were but 2.2 became debian [09:59] bazhang: hmm, ive got an old old laptop i might see if i can put dream on it just for fun [09:59] IndyGunFreak: I had an eight year old compaq laptop that ran it really well [09:59] bazhang: that was the prob i had w/ Dream, every time i tried to install anything, every single repo would be closed(and this was like 9mo ago).. i might have to check it out again [10:00] bazhang: is it running on etch repos?.. or one of the others? [10:00] IndyGunFreak: but this was strictly for using for fun; media center kind of thing [10:00] IndyGunFreak: not sure would have to check [10:00] right.... machine that old, yuou really can't expect to mucfh [10:01] Boris_: if you can use Dream, adn it is indeed based on Debian, i woudl use it before Flux(little more useable in my opinion) [10:02] Boris_: debian net install would do as well [10:02] bazhang, that comp aint got any net ! [10:03] bazhang: so what do you plan to use it for? [10:03] IndyGunFreak: it is now an ex-computer :{ [10:03] lol [10:03] Boris_: what do you want to do with it? [10:04] is there a way to get input from the line-in to play directly through the speakers? [10:04] why does xchat keep crashing on windoze ?! [10:05] Boris__: i'd blame windows [10:05] since a lot of Linux xchat users haven o problem [10:05] IndyGunFreak, yep, thats probably the cause of the problem [10:05] anyways [10:05] anyone here got ATI HD2600 PRO/XT ??? [10:06] anyone know why iwconfig and network manager show slightly different information? [10:06] btw, how do i know what video driver im using ? [10:06] !ultimate [10:06] The following are some examples of Ubuntu derived distributions that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes, please consult their websites for more information: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (support in #linuxmint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), Ubuntu Ultimate [10:06] Tomasu[BAF]: what is different [10:06] what's ubuntu ultimate's channel ? [10:07] NM shows bw of 62mb/s, and iwcinfig shows 24.. for an older 802.11g card [10:07] hello, how can i donwload videos from youtube? [10:07] xalanthyr, use a firefox extension. [10:07] xalanthyr: to your hard drive?.. there's a lot of stuff out there if you google. [10:07] Tomasu[BAF]: bw meaning bandwidth? [10:08] HardDisk: how it\s it called? [10:08] does anybody know a good qcad or simailar program tutorial with images (if possible, in spanish)? [10:08] xalanthyr: unplug a firefox extension [10:08] bazhang: well iwconfig lists it as Bit Rate. [10:08] wireless? [10:08] xalanthyr, go to the firefox extension download page and search google video there it will give you a list. Use some common sense. [10:08] bazhang: that would be 802.11g :) [10:09] IndyGunFreak: i did it many times, but suddenly pytube stopped working [10:09] Tomasu[BAF]: that would likely be the strenght of the signal vs the capability [10:09] peanutwithchocol, try the how to forge website. [10:09] xalanthyr: weird, seems to be working fine for me. [10:09] bazhang: strength is listed as a percentage... [10:09] bazhang: the bitrate is the max bw setting. [10:09] and youtube-dl gives me "Error: unable to extract URL "t" parameter. [10:09] " [10:09] HardDisk: ok [10:09] xalanthyr: right. [10:09] Tomasu[BAF]: I would trust the iwconfig over network-manager any day [10:10] j [10:10] thanks.. I'll google some more... [10:10] xalanthyr: what version of flash are you using? [10:10] IndyGunFreak: hmm, how can i check it? [10:10] hm, i can'treally remember..lol, hang on === adante_ is now known as adante === talaren is now known as pteague_work [10:11] where does the network manager store it's config files? [10:11] how do i create a custom cd with downloaded packages and get synaptic to recognise that so that when i install on another (offline) pc, i can use that? [10:11] xalanthyr: hmm, not sure how to check from the terminal, i just right clicked a youtube video and it told me... you obviously can'tdo that [10:12] /etc/network if it worth anything never looked [10:12] ubotu> !aptoncd [10:12] APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers [10:12] pteague_work thank you. [10:12] np [10:13] can anyone get line-in audio to play through the speakers? [10:14] note..it says in not out [10:14] in = input [10:14] you need line out to play to your speakers [10:14] not so awesome now are you. [10:15] HardDisk: im inputting audio, and i want it to play through the speakers... [10:15] im not plugging my speakers into line in [10:15] well you should have mentioned that. [10:15] there are a lot of people that come here and aren't exactly..sensible. [10:15] sorry, i thought it was clear [10:15] i installed downloadhelper - works perfect ;) [10:16] hello, the ubuntu-7.10-desktop-amd64.iso is the file i need to run ubuntu in 64 bits on intel base computer? [10:16] Mr_Awesome, what you need is an app called JACK [10:16] is there not an x86-64 iso? [10:17] bazhang: for what? [10:17] amd for intel? [10:17] intel [10:17] for ubuntu IndyGunFreak [10:17] bazhang: of course there is. [10:17] IndyGunFreak: shirkavand was asking if the amd64 is the right one for intel 64 [10:18] hey bazhang, IndyGunFreak and HardDisk : fluxbuntu won't boot either !!! [10:18] bazhang, amd64 is for amd64. [10:18] that is why it's amd64 [10:18] does this have anything to do with ATAPI cd rom reader ??? [10:18] HardDisk: just rhetorical but thanks :} [10:18] :) [10:18] 64bit is a pain int he rear anyways, stick w/ x86 if you don't want to rip your hair out. [10:18] true. [10:19] shirkavand: did you see the x86_64 iso? [10:19] *for the time being [10:19] I don't see anypoint of 64bit as a user. [10:19] HardDisk> why does it say for amd & intel 64-bit? [10:19] in ubuntu.com [10:19] there is a link for download ubuntu [10:19] and it saids [10:19] shirkavand: for a core 2 duo? [10:19] What type of computer do you have? [10:19] pteague, I was being sarcastic, I suppose it's hard on irc. [10:19] one of the options are [10:19] 64bit AMD and Intel computers [10:19] HardDisk> ah =) [10:20] i'm sick of computers [10:20] shirkavand: was that core 2 duo intel? [10:20] <3 computerss [10:20] i qui [10:20] t [10:20] iirc core duo alone is not 64 bit [10:20] there is hardly any improvement of 64bit over 32bit as a desktop. [10:20] heeeey [10:20] yes there is [10:20] shirkavand> yeah, it should work fine on intel, but you may have issues... i got it installed, but after that i ended up with lots of problems... not sure why, somebody suggested the hard drive, but not sure why the 32bit works fine [10:20] anyone saw what i wrote ??? [10:21] yes [10:21] 64bit allows you to utilise over 3.3GB of RAM [10:21] bazhang, any ideas ? [10:21] bazhang: my computer has a core 2 duo intel...but im not sure that if the iso file im downloading is for my processor [10:21] that still is not an improvement as a desktop. [10:21] yes it is [10:21] quite obviously? [10:21] shirkavand: core 2 is 64 bit [10:21] maybe I should have rephrased, performance. [10:21] i believe all of the core2 duo are 64bit [10:21] shirkavand: I use the 32 bit for my core 2 duo intel--how much ram does your computer have? [10:21] no it isn't obvious roly. [10:21] yes it it. [10:22] 2 gb [10:22] lol, ok :) === tuna-fish is now known as tuna [10:22] bazhang: 2 GB [10:22] shirkavand: are you going to get 4gb in the near future or do some heavy video compositing with this machine? [10:22] shirkavand: unless you have 4+gigs there is no real reason to use 64, it isn't much faster just supports more ram [10:22] How do I get the maintainer for a package in apt? [10:22] ...being able to use 8GB of ram is alot better as a desktop than only being able to use 3GB of ram, thats an OBVIOUS improvement as a desktop? [10:22] Roly, a lot is two words [10:22] Roly, no it isn't if you are not utilizing it. [10:23] Roly: you are correct [10:23] Roly: lets just all be friends :} [10:23] bazhang: ok ;) got it [10:23] bazhang: thanks [10:23] HardDisk but if you get more ram in the future it means you have to re install it as 64 bit? [10:23] just because you have more ram doesn't mean it is better, unless you are using it. [10:23] shirkavand: you will surprised how nicely it runs :} [10:23] which is just stupid, if you can use 64bit now why not already install it straight.

[10:27] intel and ATI [10:27] :) [10:27] nvinda owns [10:28] Hmm I have found windows to be pretty reliable, if you know what to not download. It's just far too restrictive and manipulative (make you stupid for company benefit), that ticked me off [10:28] nvidia and amd [10:28] IndyGunFreak, this is becoming like a live edition of digg :) [10:28] lol [10:28] * bazhang fingers the !ot button once again [10:28] HardDisk: lol [10:28] i agree, nvinda and amd own, i have the duel core 6000+ and it runs gusty pritty good [10:28] It should be forbidden by law to sell ATI. :D [10:28] Q6600, 3xHD3870's pls? [10:28] it should, ati is like fail [10:28] gonna make some popcorn, brb [10:28] bazhang: its always like this around 5-530ish my time... kinda laid back. [10:29] ATi owns [10:29] IndyGunFreak: yup [10:29] xfire > SLi [10:29] not that that makes it right. [10:29] ATI isn't bad. they just have certain issues to fix. [10:29] indeed [10:29] ati sucks on linux right now so [10:29] HardDisk: jack doesnt seem to help [10:29] no problems on suse. [10:29] lucky you [10:29] travisat: it should get better thoguh, with AMD taking over, and apparently they are going to release the driver. [10:29] but for those that don't use linux, ATI is good enough. [10:29] amd taking over? [10:30] amd is failing [10:30] IndyGunFreak: I totally agree, but right now it doesn't work as well as nvidia [10:30] Roly: AMD purchased ATI [10:30] as soon as flash is fixed ati will release the drivers [10:30] yeah [10:30] AMD overpaid for ATI. [10:30] AMD are worth less now that they baught ATi for [10:30] travisat: yup, for now, Nvidia is where its at. [10:30] even they admit that. [10:30] than* [10:30] AMD just wants the gddr technology for use in CPU's [10:31] but AMD doesn't just make processors, they are involved in many other services, I don't see it as failing. [10:31] any support questions please join #ubuntu-offtopic [10:31] its stocks prices are very very low [10:31] I'll respect that, bazhang. [10:31] so are many other stocks. [10:31] Roly: that would seem to be an opportunity, more than anything [10:32] the US market is in a recession [10:32] Ok then. But AMD vs INTEL in CPUs intel wins almost every time [10:32] whats a good binary usenet leecher with nzb support for gnome? [10:32] HardDisk: not really, the media says we're in a recession, so everyone believes we are [10:32] well for servers amd is pretty strong [10:32] when people believe that, it does happen. [10:32] IndyGunFreak: if people believe we're in a recession won't we go into a recession? [10:32] brb shower [10:32] yea you stink. [10:33] i like intel chips, but amd are cheeper, and they are just as good speed wise [10:33] meh intel is killing amd in high end desktop chips [10:33] fallore: true, but the only reason the economy has slowed down, is becasue of the sub-prime mess.. which i don't understand, when you loan money to people, who have a history of not paying their bills, what exactly do you think is going to happen? [10:33] at stock speeds intel isn't much faster then amd, but you can push the intels to crazy overclocks [10:33] IndyGunFreak: hey, i know nothing about this stuff :] [10:34] fallore: lol, [10:34] this is so offtopic it redefines offtopic [10:34] let's do it.

[10:35] creating new partition should i make the one ubuntu goes on primary and at the end? and the swap logical and at the beginning? [10:35] smidgeyyy: not really important [10:35] smidgeyyy: thats always been my understanding... but it may not matter [10:35] ok, so there you go, doesn't matter [10:36] smidgeyyy: so how are you set up now?... [10:36] I have compaq laptop with nforce chipset. Using 7.10 ubuntu. Not able to detect ethernet card. How do i configure ethernet card? [10:36] so if the swap and the other one are both primary and at the beginning thats cool??

[10:37] smidgeyyy: yep, some people say that having root at end decreases read/write times, but most hard drives are fast enough now there is little to no difference === Everget3 is now known as Evergete [10:38] travisat: what i'm trying to remember, is if swap is primary or logical. [10:38] smidgeyyy: if you intend to install windows, I believe it prefers to be at the beginning of the disk, otherwise, I think any setup works - I use swap at the end, linux in the middle somewhere [10:38] bazhang, yes i am using it now [10:38] i was thinking logicla for some reason [10:38] revsan open up a terminal and type in lspci [10:39] compwiz windows is already installed.. im putting ubuntu on its own partition.. [10:39] smidgeyyy: yeah, so i think what he's saying, is swap should be at the beginning in that instance [10:39] bazhang, it shows this line: 00:0a.0 Ethernet controller: nVidia Corporation MCP67 Ethernet (rev a2) [10:40] if the installer lets you do it you should have no real problems [10:40] ok will do that.. what about the Primary and Logical partition... whats the difference? [10:40] travisat: should swap be primary or logical?.. thats my biggest question, nto where he put it. [10:40] i thought logical.. [10:40] revsan: and the restricted manager does not properly see or at least network manager? what do you get with ifconfig in the terminal [10:40] mine is logical, I think [10:40] how do I get unrecognised keyboard keys to work? There is no output in xev... [10:41] compwiz18: so is mine.

[10:50] irc.lug.org.uk #klug [10:51] compwiz18: hmmm ok [10:51] Ispep1977: It's not officially supported, and i know "works for me" isn't justification, but an easy way to get the graphics drivers is "envy" [10:51] proxz: you did reload (sudo apt-get update) after you added the sources, right? [10:51] !envy [10:51] envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » [10:52] !hash [10:52] Sorry, I don't know anything about hash - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [10:52] ok, esteth, so i should just search for "linux driver envy" or something? [10:52] bazhang, it tries to get network ip address but fails. dhcpcd exits with timeout. [10:52] esteth: please dont recommend that in channel [10:52] im off, got some php coding to do :-) cyas [10:52] Ispep1977: did you try the restricted manager yet? [10:52] bazhang: Sorry, i'll correct my mistake :( [10:52] I installed 7.10 Ubuntu on a mac mini (using rEFi, and have OS X 10.4.11 and 10.5.1 on the HD as well in their own partitions). Boots fine. Have no 1024x768 resolution available as an option to set in Screen Resolution Preferences. Anyone know why this is? [10:52] cya [10:52] have no idea what that is, compwiz18 [10:52] the restricted manager works good for a 8800gts [10:52] ubotu, bazhang, IndyGunFreak: ABSOLUTLY NOT ILLEGAL: there are some online books of ubuntu which are freely (in two senses) (maybe when i said ''the ubuntu book'' you thought the same ''ubuntu book'' of text version???) [10:52] Ispep1977: go to System -> Administration and click on Restricted Drivers [10:52] ok i check it out [10:53] compwiz18: yeah i did, followed a guide on ubuntu docs page as well, but i need to afk a while now (my daughter needs some food and attention :P ) be back little later [10:53] Ispep1977: Sorry. I was unaware the channel did not reccomend it. Please don't use envy. Instead go to System -> Admin -> Restricted Drivers [10:53] bazhang, any ways to get it up? [10:53] peanutwithchocol: then you should have no problem finding them via google. [10:53] Ispep1977: there you should see an nvidia card listed, and check the little box, reboot, and have fun [10:53] I have 1024x768 on other operating systems on this hardware no problem. [10:53] peanutwithchocol: thus my question of copyrighted, to which you never answered [10:53] Can anyone help me out with configuring a modem in 7.10?

[10:57] compwiz18: yes, is something on windows, i must set up something else? i set up the ip [10:57] revsan, dhcpcd daemon exits with a timeout.. [10:57] sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg Al2O3_ [10:58] bazhang, yes... although i can see the ethernet card its not able to get a ip. [10:58] @@@ woho.. tnx :D now they work.. i had italian layout for some reason... ( im from norway ) hehe [10:58] simion314: when you set up the IP on Windows, it should have asked you for the netmask, as well as DNS server IP addresses. Make sure you filled them in correctly [10:58] bazhang: thank you [10:58] no worries [10:58] Ispep1977: great :) [10:58] ill restart and test the nvidia driver now, compwiz18 [10:58] HOW CAN I SHUTDOWN MY FIREWALL SO OTHERS WILL PING ME?

[11:02] btw, nice simple interface to hardware configuration specification :) [11:02] compwiz18 i am in ubuntu now [11:02] rm= remove i suppose [11:02] simion314: I don't know why you wouldn't have to set one in Ubuntu... it should work the same way [11:03] bazhang, any idea why dhcp times out? [11:03] did you save the settings you wanted Al2O3_? I believe a logout/log in is in order [11:03] yes. [11:03] i just asked this in the server channel but dose the ubuntu community have a harding guide to ubuntu as dose my old distro i was on [11:03] ok, trying that now. [11:03] actually, restarting by accident :) [11:03] smidgeyyy: did it install ok? [11:03] Jakoo: correct, and -r removes recursively [11:04] nice to have 10.4, 10.5 and Ubuntu all on one machine. [11:04] bazhang, ifconfig says my ip is 100.100.100.119 and i'm in a wireless network so my friends expect to see me. I have files pinged and samba is configured well so worked before and ifcoonfig says : inet addr:100.100.100.119 Bcast:100.100.100.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 [11:04] compwiz, what do you think of this [11:04] ? [11:05] compwiz18 maube it was set previously and it worked, i have problems fith nfs too, i can't share files, the 1'st computer do not see itself in places->network, i had share files in unix and in windows mode, i prefer using unix NFS and install nfs on windows insted of samba [11:05] bazhang: thank you very much [11:05] very very slick, 7.10 is a nice easy experience for sure. [11:05] I can ping my friend and it's interesting his ip begins with 81 [11:05] no worries [11:05] and this channel is packed full of goodness, people and immediate answers. [11:05] soroush: That's WAN IP, and certainly not LAN ip. [11:05] bazhang: you deserve bonus bucks for your efforts. [11:06] haha [11:06] jqk, how can i find my lan ip? [11:06] * Al2O3_ sends bazhang some money. [11:06] 0+0=0 :} [11:06] if you have pp account, I will send you 5 bucks for your time, you just saved me a lot of money and hassle :) [11:06] soroush: LAN ip or WAN ip? [11:06] simion314: as jqk says, your ip should probably start with 192.168, 172., or 10. if you're on a lan (somebody correct me if i'm wrong there) [11:06] Al2O3_: not always immediate. [11:07] jqk, wan ip [11:07] soroush: www.whatismyip.com [11:07] IndyGunFreak: well, felt immediate here for my dumb arse question. [11:07] bazhang, is there no way i can fix this? [11:07] Al2O3_: lol [11:07] works out like that sometimes [11:07] jqk, thanks [11:07] Hm, how do you quit X? [11:07] Al2O3_: i used a lot of distros and 7.10 so fare is the easyest as this comes from old school gentoo supporter no ubuntu [11:07] jqk: if your on a wan, then your netmask shouldn't be 255.255.255.0, I'm thinking, jqk? [11:07] revsan: I'm not a networking guru--that ethernet should just connect and it works in debian as you say--so (and this is via network manager or cli) not sure what to do here [11:08] compwiz18: Your correct, but not the whole 172, and 10 range. [11:08] compwiz18: my ip are 192.168.0... [11:08] revsan: no, not saying that, just have to figure it out--would be easier with the computer in front of me haha [11:08] Gamekiller: took me with some reading online about 20 mins to get Ubuntu dl'ed, burned and my machine installed with rEFIn for macosx, and installed and here :) Can't beat that, and about 3 mnis to get the resolution thing fixed. [11:08] I'm happy. Distros until now, for me have always been a huge headache. [11:08] started with RH 5 or something like that years ago in 1999 [11:09] gave up and went beos and then os x. Now I need to dev and test software in GNUstep, decided to use ubuntu, and so here we are :) [11:09] jqk, that ip isn't my ip in network. it is http://81.31.170.50/ [11:09] Could anyone tell me how to quit X? [11:09] compwiz18: Your correct, but not the whole 172, range. .. 172.16.x.x - 172.31.x.x to be specific. [11:09] gentoo would take me 4 days to get a working gui and 48 hours for working os [11:09] jqk, iwant my ip in the local wireless network [11:09] Badger-Deb: /etc/init.d/gdm stop , iirc. [11:10] Badger-Deb: you want the command line of just restart x [11:10] Gamekiller: yah, I don't have that kind of time to kill any more. [11:10] or * [11:10] compwiz18: i read a good how to install all nfs components and edit all configuration , when i am tring to mount a file from 1 to 2 i get a time out error and when i try to mount from 2 to 1 i get a connection denied error, as i said the computer no 1 do not sees itself in the network [11:10] I remember out of box RH 5 took me days to get working. [11:10] soroush: you said wan ip, heh >> [15:07:18] jqk, wan ip [11:10] same here [11:10] jqk, http://81.31.170.50/ is a valid ip so you might can see it. it is http://che.sharif.edu [11:10] yup remeber [11:10] bazhang, need me some bash, to install an nvidia driver [11:10] jqk, oh. sorry. so how can i find my lan ip [11:10] i took it wrong [11:10] very slick, pleased with what I see. Updating now, two click experience, 185 packages on startup :) [11:11] i had a 6.0 box as my ip masqurade bose for my DSL when it firest beta release out in cali [11:11] Badger-Deb: wget or from the repos? [11:11] RH 6 [11:11] simion314: your ip can be 192.168.0, 192.168.1, 192.168.2 etc, depending on what router you got. [11:11] all these ip addresses have my head spinning [11:11] bazhang, I got it from their website [11:12] jqk i have 2 networck cards on computer number 1 [11:12] Badger-Deb: you seen the nvidia link on how to do it? [11:12] bazhang, I've looked at their readme, but it just says "quit X and do it" [11:13] simion314: you can fill up your PCI slot with network card, if you want :) . [11:13] !nvidia | Badger-Deb also ubuntuforums has something on this--I'm not really knowledgeable about video cards [11:13] Badger-Deb also ubuntuforums has something on this--I'm not really knowledgeable about video cards: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [11:14] What is the reason that on one of my Ubuntu 7.10 laptop computers runs hald while on the other not? [11:14] thanks bazhang [11:14] bullgard4: hald? [11:15] jqk: yes.

[11:19] the only thing common will be the shared repo's eventually. [11:19] What package manager does dreamlinux use? [11:19] HardDisk: almost how it is now.

[12:30] bazhang: no I didn't [12:31] wang_: it is receiving a lease--what is the problem [12:31] bazhang, it's not -- it's trying a recorded lease [12:31] wang_, are you sure the dhcp server is listening? [12:32] ehh [12:32] thanks Seveas! [12:32] but it still pings the server/gateway [12:32] what do u mean by that seveas? [12:32] Is there a way for me at machine A to log into machine B over the internet, using a secure SSH:d VNC Server/Client, and the people at B should be able to see what I do? [12:32] wang_, dhclient requests an IP address from a DHCP server. If that server is not working you see what you are seeing now [12:33] Enselic, they can run a vncviewer app on the local machine and watch/connect to the vncserver you run - is one way. [12:33] Enselic, kill your local vino-server, run ssh -L5900:localhost:5900 some.where.else.com and then run vncviewer localhost in another shell [12:33] Enselic, you can set up ssh tunnles to get to the thing encrypted with vnc. [12:34] like Seveas is saying. :) [12:34] * Seveas uses vnc like that to check my home machines from work :) [12:34] can some1 help me to fix my restriced drivers? [12:34] vnc is like a Multi-Tool. so handy [12:34] How can I get ext3 support on a Mac? [12:35] branstrom, ask in a mac support channel :) [12:35] branstrom: ask in #mac maybe ? [12:35] google for os-x ext3 support ? [12:35] rsk, I beleive it's #apple or ##apple :) [12:35] Seveas: cool, and that will make the people at B be able to see what I do? [12:35] I figured more people here would know technical stuff than people in mac channels, but yeah [12:35] elmnas: more description would be helpful :) [12:35] Enselic, if they're not blind :) [12:36] haha [12:36] Seveas: haha, nice disclaimer :) [12:36] When I am trying to install my graphic card, I get a error message [12:36] add/remove applications f?r visa restricted driver manager restricted drivers manager cannot be installed on your computer type (1386) either the application requries special hardware features or the vendor decided to not support your computer type [12:36] I have linux ubuntu hardy hevon [12:36] I have [12:36] intel quad 2 [12:36] geforce 8800 [12:36] geforce 8800 isn't properly supported yet afaik [12:36] !hardy | elmnas [12:36] elmnas: hardy is Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE PRE BETA (ALPHA) SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu [12:37] ok [12:37] Hmm..

[13:43] Hey everyone, I have a small problem with bluetooth... I get my own device (hcitool dev reports hci0), but it can't be discovered nor does it pick up any devices when I scan... I've read it might be because Windows screwed with the bluetooth thingy, any way I can turn it back on through Ubuntu ?

Is that part of the site down by any chance? [13:49] Hey everyone, I have a small problem with bluetooth... I get my own device (hcitool dev reports hci0), but it can't be discovered nor does it pick up any devices when I scan... I've read it might be because Windows screwed with the bluetooth thingy, any way I can turn it back on through Ubuntu ? [13:49] oh now it works.. after trying for half an hour :) [13:49] never mind [13:49] freaknl, it always works if you ask why it's not :) [13:52] guys [13:52] hi all :) [13:52] ive got some little trouble [13:52] shoot [13:52] Anyone know how to enable .htaccess files from the terminal? [13:53] the resolution of my monitor cant handle the default resolution of live cd [13:53] chazco: what do you mean enable? [13:53] even if i go into safe graphics mode [13:53] In Ubuntu .htaccess is turned off by default [13:53] chazco, aren't they enabled by default? [13:53] what can i do? plz, thx [13:53] :) [13:53] Nope, Ubuntu has them switched off [13:53] chazco, you're going to edit the AllowOverride options in /etc/apache/* [13:53] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingUseOfApacheHtaccessFiles - explains how to do it manually, i want to do it from a script [13:53] going to have to* [13:53] anyone here done q-flash with usb? (gigabyte motherboards) [13:53] Seveas-> I may be missing an option, that didnt work for me, as I am different username in the 3rd computer, and also different username in 2nd computer [13:54] anyone? :( [13:54] What filenames do the 'Device Information Files' have which file:///usr/share/doc/hal-doc/spec/hal-spec.html#ov_halarch speaks about? [13:55] how can i set keyboard layout to svorak? [13:55] chazco, sudo sed -e 's/AllowOverride None/AllowOverride All/' -i /etc/apache2/sites-available/default [13:56] Is that a global find/replace?

This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix. [13:56] chazco, but that file will have only one occurance of that string [13:56] It has several, i just checked [13:56] ah [13:57] On a totally clean install, its the second one that needs changing [13:57] quick question, how decent is firefox/java applet support in 7.10 [13:57] its my one concern [13:57] mcp: perfect [13:57] chazco, no, the first one. You don't want to change it for the cgi-bin :) [13:57] Its not for cgi... in mine it lists / , /var/www, then cgi bin etc [13:58] chazco, mine's not a fresh one, hang one while I grab one [13:58] Its mainly for a testing server, so global enabling shouldnt be a massive issue, but even so... [13:58] Seveas, no, I mean the swedish verison of dvórak: svórak [13:58] Anyone ever had any problems with bluetooth ? My device shows up in hcitool dev, but it doesn't find any devices when I try to scan...

(the first bit)? [14:01] Then i can learn :) === iyan is now known as cE_17_ [14:01] try setting your computer to be visible [14:01] chazco, the 12 means 'only on line 12', s/.../../ is the replacement and -i (which should be placed in front of the filename) means change in place [14:02] Ah, line 12... was thinking it mean occurances or something :) Thanks :) [14:02] pan__, my bluetooth device (internal, laptop) is recognized, so when I run hcitool dev, I get the mac address of my BT adapter, though, when I try to scan for BT devices (hcitool scan), nothing shows up. Also, even though the icon in gnome says the "device is set to visible", none of my devices (nokia n810 internet tablet, 3 different cell phones) see my laptop [14:02] <_moro_bana_> pan__ syslinux -f/dev/sdc1 gives me something like this < Usage: syslinux [-sf][-d directory][-o offset] device> [14:02] chazco, yeah, you can also specify 'the second occurence' with more sed magic, but my sed-fu isn't that good yet :) [14:02] Heh, mine isnt even that close :) [14:03] <_moro_bana_> try sudo syslinux..........

When I use the controls in the nautilus window, it gives me a 33% minimum... [14:05] Seveas - I see what you mean :D Interesting stuff :) [14:05] so it should have a separate button to enable the bluetooth device [14:06] Will look at both, thanks for the help :) [14:06] <_moro_bana_> tz34534: then it says no such file exists [14:06] np [14:06] Seveas -- Interesting. I just for the first time in my life today saw /var/www on my computer. Can you say what that's about? [14:06] pan__, not that I'm aware of... [14:06] emma, it is -- irclogs.ubuntu.com [14:06] ctothej: that should have been your first question then? [14:06] So, I have ubuntu installed on a non-raid drive, which I have the bios set to be first in the disk-order. I have two sata drives in a raid1 array. I can't seem to find a root=/dev/?? setting that the kernel will not panic on, and it does not show any devices in the "available partitions" listing. In general, I get the grub menu, and the kernel loads then panics when it tries to find root [14:06] crashanddie> well every laptop i've seen has one [14:06] Seveas -- Last night I tried to install Apache, and this morning when I http://localhost/ it goes to some page and it says something about /var/www [14:06] astro76: heh, yah, probably... [14:07] crashanddie> so you can save power [14:07] emma, what does it say exactly? [14:07] Hello. What applications can I use to crop .avi files - I mead cut off first 10 minutes and last 4 minutes [14:07] crashanddie> disabling wireless and bluetooth [14:07] ? [14:07] mean* [14:07] Ah, Seveas - on mine the second wont work, because /var/www occurs once before that [14:07] I've been working on this for a month now but have had to stay in XP because it's the only thing that boots :( [14:07] ctothej: you're right, it's not there, perhaps something in gconf-editor [14:07] Seveas -- I think it should say in the topic that this channel is being logged publicly. Don't you? Is there anything to be concerned about that everyone here is being recorded? [14:07] It makes me feel a little self conscious. [14:07] Hidden away near the top (document root bit) [14:07] pan__, I can disable wireless, but I don't see a bluetooth shortcut, I'll google a bit [14:08] emma, this is the internet, everything you say can and will be used against you :) [14:08] hehe [14:08] crashanddie> often wireless and bluetooth have the same button [14:08] are the hd0, hd1, etc. things, which grub uses, useful after grub gets the kernel loading? [14:08] But it should say in the topic that this channel is being logged publicly. [14:08] astro76: it seems that it will default to 33% even though the setting is at 25%... seems like 33% is the minimum it will go. [14:08] does mapping affect the linux kernel once it's loaded? [14:08] chazco, yeah, use 'Directory \/var\/www' instead :) [14:08] pan__, I'm connected through wireless... Wouldn't that imply my bluetooth is on too, then ? [14:08] heh :) [14:09] crashanddie> coud be then [14:09] pan__, I'll disable wireless, and just re-enable it afterwards, unevano [14:09] so sed -e '/Directory \/var\/www/,+3s/Al...... [14:09] ? [14:09] I changed a monitor setting, and now the screen is completely messed up... [14:09] chazco, I think we can do even better than that :) [14:09] ctothej: hmm ok... if you want to investigate the two keys are /apps/nautilus/icon_view/default_zoom_level and /apps/nautilus/list_view/default_zoom_level [14:09] Seveas -- this is what it says - The DocumentRoot, which is the directory under which all your HTML files should exist, is set to /var/www. [14:10] astro76: cool, ill check that out [14:10] Can you explain what that means? [14:10] well, that didn't do it... [14:10] chazco, sed -e '//,/<\/Directory>/s/AllowOverride None/AllowOverride All/' -i /etc/apache2/sites-available/default [14:10] aka, from the tag up to :) [14:10] That looks evil :D [14:11] it is -- sed is lovely [14:11] WIll backup and test that one :) [14:11] chazco, if you don't use -i, the corrected contents will be printed to stdout :) [14:11] Yep, trying it like that :) [14:11] Seveas: Wouldnt that replace ardchoille, no [14:12] ardchoille: \ escapes the / [14:12] ardchoille, the first 2 matches are addresses, only then comes the s command, the match and the replacement [14:12] hi one more time I'm needing somebody to support me... anyone keen on installing wlan hardware that is shown w/ lspci but not iwconfig? [14:13] ardchoille, this is advanced sed usage :) [14:13] astro76: Ah, learned something new, thanks :) [14:13] I hate linux now! [14:13] and I've been using it for 14 years! [14:13] Seveas: I noticed that [14:13] ouch [14:13] ;) [14:13] I messed up a setting in System>Admin>Screens and Graphics, and now I can't see what I'm doing to change it back... [14:13] rndn, we love you too : [14:13] :) [14:13] * rndn sighs.. upset at raid and grub. [14:13] mar77i, which chipset?

[14:14] tetzke9, you can record it with VLC too [14:14] Genius314: do you need help recovering? [14:14] Seveas: ahm actually its broadcom bcm5787m built in my laptop [14:14] Genius314, the screens and graphics thing saves backups in /etc/X11/ [14:15] astro76 Yeah [14:15] rsk, I have one linux machine (my laptop), and this desktop system's stayed in XP since I could never get dual-boot working. [14:15] spydon: how? i have VLC [14:15] Seveas: Where in /etc/X11? [14:15] tetzke9, http://www.scribd.com/doc/25400/Video-Recording-with-VLC [14:15] The problem is that grub menu comes up, and it'll load the kernel, but the kernel panics and can't mount the root= filesystem [14:15] Seveas: Is it a specific file or something? [14:16] there are 3 drives in the system. 2 of them are a raid1 mirror with xp on it, and the other one is a single drive with linux on it. I can boot XP fine with grub by mapping (hd0) (hd1), and (hd1) (hd0).. but I can't get ubuntu to boot at all with grub. [14:17] I've tried root=/dev/hda1 root=/dev/hda2 root=/dev/sda1 etc. [14:17] hm.. what # do those drive partitions start at? [14:17] hello guys, I'm trying to upgrade from 6.06 to 6.10 using gksu "update-manager -c", but I can't find any option to upgrade it.. could please anyone help me? thank you!

[14:20] this knetworkmanager seems to be one pos... [14:21] anyway to get it back to automatic mode? [14:21] it's a setup similar to this guy, but I am at raid1 (with xp on it), not raid0 and linux is now on the first physical drive now. [14:21] Seveas: thank you a lot... [14:21] hi there [14:22] i have a problem with compiz: can anyone tell me how to stop the cube desktop switcher to loose focus after rotating with hotkeys? everytime I rotate from desktop one (where window 1 has focus) to desktop 2 and back, then window 1 is not focused anyomore. [14:22] ravennium-> what is the issue? [14:22] guys.. ive got trouble, couldnt anyone be able to help me? I cant start a live cd on my old pc, cuz monitor is kinda flickering even if i go safe mode option :( can i specify anything to lower the res. or maybe refresh rate or some? anyone? [14:23] Seveas: i'm back at the g33king [14:23] install latest version of the linux kernel, i want to [14:23] hey, how can i disable compiz via the commandline? [14:23] well, something is wrong in getting the IP. when there are no security modules (wpa wep) everything seems to work. Now when I set either wpa or wap, I can't get to network. [14:23] But [14:24] do it with ubuntu automatically, can i? [14:24] when I put in the cable and go to the dsl box settings I can see that one client is using wlan, and it shows an IP for [14:24] metacity --replace [14:24] it [14:24] !resolution [14:24] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto [14:24] and that ip has my mac address on it [14:24] one good deed a day keeps microsoft away [14:24] ravennium-> i can only assist you as far as no usage of wep/wpa/wpa2, if you choose encryption, no can do for me on that [14:25] ok [14:25] has anyone an idea in my issue? [14:25] kel39_: I'd try the alternate install cd [14:25] and this knetworkmanager has either major bug or badly failing features... :( [14:25] install linux 2.6.24, how? [14:26] ravennium-> btw, what you see on your AP/router are history of client that connected [14:26] ravennium-> i dont think, so, usage of encryption is a black art [14:26] KalEl, if you don't know how to, then don't :) [14:27] maybe... but i don't want to share my ethernet disks to my neighbours [14:27] :D [14:27] but better cpu management with amd x64, it supports [14:27] KalEl, it also doesn't speak like yoda... [14:28] ravennium you know, instead of using encryption you could use mac address filtering. [14:29] way too easy to crack [14:29] ravennium-> there are other ways, would it make you happier if you knew your neighbor's hair turned gray because his attempt to use your ap and he is frustrated? [14:29] astro76: euhm, thank you very mutch for this advice, thats exactly what i did, and it was good, but now this pc moves to my mother so.. i tough i would put Mint on it, so im back to same trouble agane, and i would like finaly to find some command or way, to specify it, and run off live cd. U see.. :) [14:30] it would make me happier if this darn thing just worked, like it says in the knetworkmanagers web pages [14:30] ravennium-> it works, just doesnt guarantee encryption black art [14:30] :D [14:30] ok [14:31] how can one turn it back to auto setting [14:31] ? [14:31] any ideas [14:31] kel39_: well I don't know we don't deal with mint, you should just keep her on Ubuntu [14:31] !enter > ravennium [14:31] well for me, on my wifi, the ecryption just worked straight out, i didnt have to do anything, it just worked, [14:32] ? [14:32] ravennium-> what is auto setting? what do you mean? [14:32] I mean the mode that knetworkmanager is in when u put in the live cd [14:32] and in first boot [14:33] it searches every wlan's === pan__ is now known as mo0n_sniper [14:33] i can show you what it looks like in liveCD, would you be interested and get the configs from there? [14:33] Can anyone help me?

No those items I mentioned are not installed with Gutsy :) [15:02] jrib right .. mp3 work but not with xmms [15:02] Al2O3_: just make sure you have build-essential and do 'apt-get builddep gnustep'. But I don't see the reason why you are compiling gnustep instead of using the package... [15:02] I need some help with a video card - I have an Nvidia PCI video card - 5200 Gfroce - but for some reason it just hangs at the sections (etc/rc.local) section of the boot [15:02] RequinB4, he will need them for the fancier stuff of compiz, like the 3D cube and viewpoint switcher etc. [15:02] xomp - in that case, he shouldn' tneed them... But i'm not going to argue something, worst case he gets more compiz stuff [15:02] ravennium-> yes its the same, i want you to just compare the number of files and if named same [15:02] Al2O3_: oops, that should be "build-dep", not "builddep" [15:02] WOOT I GOT GPARTED TO LOAD [15:02] sry caps [15:02] I've noticed that Ubuntu doesn't let the root user login... when I open a folder in Nautilus I need to change permissions on it but root is the owner of the folder... is there any way for me to change the permissions on this folder while logged in as my user??

Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. [15:03] Aquahallic-> sudo in command line, or if you use gui gksudo [15:03] thank you [15:03] yoluca: xmms should play mp3's without the need for any other package.

But if you insist, search around /apps/nautilus in gconf-editor [15:09] astro76-> you are right, i was unclear [15:10] jrib yeah got it ... its gconf-editor in terminal ... i want to make some more changes the way gnome behave [15:10] bkar: didn't want to scare him/her ;) [15:10] Hi all. Probably a really silly question - but one of my children has managed to lose their "taskbar" (or whatever the Ubuntu equivalent is called) - and I can't work out how to get it back. Any pointers ? [15:10] this hole permission system in linux.. it's meant solely for total newby's right? [15:10] Tatster: the whole panel, or just the part that has the buttons for open apps? [15:10] Tatster-> serve your children breakfast first..hehe [15:11] with normal common sense you can change the files without altering the destiny of the universe, right? [15:11] it's now an empty panel with arrows at either end - but doesn't show open apps [15:11] Tatster: right click on a panel -> add to panel, depending on what you mean, you want either "notification area" or "window list" [15:11] Tatster: right click, add to panel..., add the Window Selector [15:12] sorry Window List [15:12] idefix: not really. some files are supposed to be tinkered with manually, others just aren't. if you're enough of a non-"newbie" to know which ones are which, then i suppose you can go on and change the files you need. but the fact you have to ask... ;) [15:12] idefix: as a rule of thumb, nothing should ever be touched manually outside of /home, /etc, /usr/local and /opt [15:12] whats the command to completely remove compiz and all its features ? [15:12] as with every rule, there are exceptions. not many. [15:13] neopsyche: what card [15:13] LjL, I updated ubuntu and now my printer doesn't work, so I think I have to change permissions.rules.dpkg-bak into permissions.rules...

How can I make Ubuntu start a wlan device at boot? [15:14] __VIO__: did you do what I asked? [15:14] it's something to set permissions [15:14] LjL [15:14] __VIO__: try "ubuntu" as username, and no password. of course though, it shouldn't ask at al.. [15:15] idefix: yeah i could guess that much [15:15] livecd and password? my livecd of gutsy has no such thing [15:15] adam-> modify /etc/network/interfaces [15:15] <__VIO__> jrib: i dint get that question [15:15] bkar: no, that is not for wlan [15:15] LjL http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=505513&postcount=7 [15:15] adam-> off course it is [15:16] bkar: so, I just add it like normal eth0 interface? [15:16] adam-> its the central file for networking [15:16] LjL I got my printer working with the old ubuntu, now I'm trying to trace my steps http://members.home.nl/v.vanbruchem/printinginlinux.html [15:16] must be an 'ubuntu-based' distro to ask for a password like that--perhaps mint? [15:16] bkar: ok, I now have eth0 set for dhcp [15:17] idefix: which Ubuntu version are you on? in Gutsy, there is no /etc/udev to begin with... and that article is about a *very* old version [15:17] adam-> yes pretty much same same, but wifi has optional parameters, like essid [15:17] I have dapper now [15:17] LjL, how do I upgrade further? [15:17] !upgrade > idefix (idefix, see the private message from Ubotu) [15:17] how do I use setpwc? :D [15:17] idefix: dapper however *is* still supported [15:17] bkar: can I use the wlan device like regular ethernet devices? /etc/init.d/network restart, and so on? === hfsdo_ is now known as hfsdo [15:17] idefix: pastebin the contents of every /etc/udev/permission* file you have [15:18] adam-> yes, if you look at the script network you'd see it uses the interfaces file [15:18] whats the problem with tracker in 7.10 [15:18] __VIO__: is this linuxmint? ubuntu live cd asks for no password [15:18] LjL what syntax? [15:18] it seems to be eating all cpu and mem sometimes [15:18] __VIO__: did you verify the integrity of the cd? [15:19] idefix: doesn't matter, leave empty [15:19] bkar: I know all this, I just can't make it work with wlan devices [15:19] Hello! I need some help with setting up my Audio Driver in ubuntu... Can somebody help me out here? [15:19] adam pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces [15:19] did anyone facing problem with trackerd in 7.10 [15:19] <__VIO__> bazhang: its the live cd that i downloaded. [15:19] __VIO__: yes but which one is the question [15:19] LjL http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53567/ [15:20] bkar: iface eth0 inet dhcp, and of course the loopback above that [15:20] <__VIO__> bazhang: ubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386.iso [15:20] adam pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces [15:20] bkar: it's only that line plus loopback [15:20] adam-> then your wlan has not been configured in yet [15:21] __VIO__: I am looking at the live cd that you speak of and there is no password required [15:21] adam as a test, save that file now or make a backup, [15:21] idefix: where it says OWNER="vincent"... did you change that yourself? [15:21] __VIO__: perhaps you are using another by mistake? [15:21] bazhang: I've seen it happen with bad burns [15:21] adam then go to network manager and modify parameters, then open up /etc/network/interfaces again and compare the two..you see what changes it makes [15:21] jrib: ah that would explain it [15:22] !dd [15:22] Sorry, I don't know anything about dd - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [15:22] <__VIO__> bazhang: hehe, i hope not i have downloaded it from sweden and norway now. [15:22] !info dd | xomp [15:22] __VIO__: it is highly likely that this is a poorly burned iso file and you will need to burn it again [15:22] xomp: Package dd does not exist in gutsy [15:22] bkar: ok, I'm an old Debian fart, what network manager would that be? [15:22] thanks nickrud [15:23] <__VIO__> bazhang: last time i burned it , i yse 8x [15:23] LjL i cannot remember chaning it myself [15:23] adam-> i dont know the equivalent in debian, on ubuntu you have that network manager gui [15:23] LjL neither is it in my printing in linux list [15:23] * xomp wonders how to backup his linux box now heh [15:23] xomp: heh. the command does, it just doesn't have it's own package [15:23] xomp, nickrud: it's in coreutils [15:23] is envy capable of installing 64-bit drivers for nvidia-cards? [15:23] LjL: thanks, dpkg -S just told me that :) [15:23] __VIO__: it might be the burn speed or the media itself--some media is of a quality that is less than stellar [15:23] bkar: what's the binary's name? [15:23] idefix: well i have no idea why it's there, but i do suggest changing it into OWNER="lp". however, the rest of it looks just like the forums article suggests, as you can see [15:23] LjL, cool, so I will be able then to backup my install? [15:24] nickrud: your HD is faster than mine [15:24] <__VIO__> bazhang: tank you for your time. [15:24] aptoncd xomp [15:24] xomp: eh, i don't know... i just know ubuntu definitely comes with dd [15:24] adam am not sure, in command line type gnome and press tab twice, its one of those gnome-xxx [15:24] xomp: depends on how you want to backup dd does work [15:24] Hey, just a quick question. I'm running my Ubuntu Gusty though VPC, and I can't get it to go full screen. The resolution is too high for my monitor, and if I try to change it inside VPC, nothing happens. Any help? [15:24] ok, cool. I've never used it, but someone here told me it's what I should use to back up my install hehe, was going to research on how to use it today :) [15:25] !backup | xomp [15:25] xomp: There are many ways to back your system up.

[15:25] adam, sorry i cant seem to find the network manager applet launcher command [15:26] anyone here tried to use kde4? [15:26] adam there you go you found it [15:26] What filenames do the 'Device Information Files' have which file:///usr/share/doc/hal-doc/spec/hal-spec.html#ov_halarch speaks about? [15:26] !kde4 > Poseidon5346 (Poseidon5346, see the private message from Ubotu) [15:26] nickrud, cool, will sbackup allow me to restore everything the way it was incase of a total system crash? [15:26] Hi veryone, i can't seem get ubuntu past the intiial screen, after i click 'start or install' i just a blank screen nothing happens, ive tried select safe graphics mode but nothing happends [15:26] Seveas: it's now shown on iwconfig, but I can't seem to connect... [15:26] yeah...tks [15:26] bkar: thanks man, I gotta restart X to kill the gnome network applet and try this new interfaces file [15:27] adam good luck [15:27] What is the reason that on one of my Ubuntu 7.10 laptop computers runs hald while on the other not? (Both do function.) [15:27] !sbackup [15:27] sbackup is a tool to create complete and/or incremental backups (which can be scheduled to be automatic, and can be done over a network). It is available in !Universe [15:27] xomp: if you configure it to do that. [15:27] nickrud, awesome, I'll check it out then :D [15:27] bullgard4: likely one of them has worse drivers then the other. [15:27] srestore then on the other computer correct? [15:27] mar77i what does your iwconfig show? [15:28] <__VIO__> bazhang: md5? [15:28] anybody know if there's a midi/game port to usb adapter? i have lots of usb ports on my box, but no midi/game port [15:28] bullgard4: try changing terminal when it happens, perhaps it's just x that's acting up. chek dmesg for errors [15:28] <__VIO__> bazhang: Linux in new to me i am an windows user. [15:28] __VIO__: what app did you use to burn this cd? there is a file that compares what the file should be and what you have called an md5 file [15:28] __VIO__: md5 checksums are not linux specific [15:29] !md5 | __VIO__ [15:29] __VIO__: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [15:29] finalbeta: I happens always.

[15:29] Hey, I'm running Ubuntu Gusty though Virtual PC, and I can't get it to fit to full screen, the resolution of the virtual machine (Ubuntu) is too high, and if I try and change it, nothing actually happens [15:29] __VIO__: just run "check cd for defects" instead of "start or install ubuntu" from the menu you get when you boot your computer with the cd [15:29] <__VIO__> ok. tanks. i try that. [15:30] nickrud, I have sbackup installed. Do you know how I could configure it to perform such a backup that I could restore the whole system if my hard drive fails and need to install a new one? hehe [15:30] did some updates break mp3 playback recently for amarok/rhythembox? [15:31] anyone? [15:31] Hi. I am downloading lots of software on my new Gusty, and i have the other computer which should have almost all that software too. What can i do to avoid duplicating downloads? [15:31] Hang on, if I change the "vga=0x314" would that allow me to change the inside resolution? [15:31] Is there any lineup to get help or can I just throw in my question. [15:31] bullgard4: I know. Bad drivers... Linux runs on them. I have several machines with issues like them. Try what I said, if you are lucky you find out what driver the problem is. If you have ati/nvidea, try using the other free or non free drivers. might solve it [15:31] nickrud, only reason I freak about a backup is this laptop used to have PGP installed and the whole disk encrypted. I'm sure the HDD will fail permaturely on me for that reason. [15:31] Hi veryone, i can't seem get ubuntu past the intiial screen, after i click 'start or install' i just a blank screen nothing happens, ive tried select safe graphics mode but nothing happends [15:31] Hello, when ever i want to join photo attachments in evolution, i cannot see the actual photos, instead i have a photo icon, anyway to fix it so i can see the photos i want to send? [15:31] finalbeta: There is no 'HAL' in dmesg output. [15:31] throw it in Cobrajr122 [15:31] ok, tks [15:31] xomp: what I do is backup my /home , the stuff I edit in /etc , any databases or web stuff in /var , and the installed package list. I would reinstall then restore that stuff [15:31] Meh, I'll try my little theory to see if it works [15:32] Thanks for the lack of help [15:32] kewlmart: not that I am aware of, but one workaround may be to use nautilus to find your picture, and then just drag it to where you want [15:32] bullgard4: on my dell, that's how I find out my cd drive was freezing up the system (libsata), the video driver thing is something you should try for sure. [15:32] nickrud, ok, I think I see what this does. It will restore those areas AFTER a reinstall of the OS? So backing that stuff up will keep my compiz settings, icons, themes etc..? [15:33] Hi, ubuntu supports encrypted LVM using the alternate installation, right? If so, is it easy to extend the ecrypted LVM with more encrypted discs? [15:33] finalbeta: Yes, it is ATI Radeon. But I do not dare to test the other drivers. In the past this only lead to trouble with the X server. [15:33] xomp: yes, all your personal settings are in /home/ [15:33] nickrud, awesome! Thanks [15:33] xomp: including downloaded themes, your mail, etc [15:33] I installed ubuntu way back in may 2006 when i couldnt get windows installed properly, so i was using ubuntu for a few months. I randomly decided to go retrive all my filws off of it today but now that I have a 8800GT it wont boot properly. Is there any way i can upgrade it from the Live cd? [15:33] Cobrajr122-> we are serving number 899 what number is yours? [15:33] finalbeta: Let me re-iterate, the machine functions (by and large). [15:34] bkar, I found an answer from the kubuntuforums. This is what I was talking about: http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=3084310.0 [15:34] bullgard4: one of my other laptops freezes up after a while. switching to another terminal fixes it, for a while... [15:34] noone knows about mp3 playback breaking? [15:34] bkar: dont be a troll [15:34] !clone | xomp this is how you would create the installed package list, then reset it [15:34] xomp this is how you would create the installed package list, then reset it: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate [15:34] bkar : I didnt know that I got a number :P [15:34] IdleOne-> one time thing, you spoil it so much [15:34] Jrib, yes i do that right now, but i thought maybe there would be an easier way.thx [15:35] finalbeta: So your situation is worse than mine. -- I did ask for heuristic purposes. I am curious but not in an immediate hurry. [15:35] mohbana, you might need the alternate cd - what is your hardware [15:35] Cobrajr122: is this the alternate cd or the livecd of gutsy gibbon 7.10 and what system are you upgrading from [15:35] ddoea anyone know how to fix the sound in flash ? [15:35] Cobrajr122: no. You have to get the nvidia driver from nvidia to run the 8800gt. However, you can use the command line at alt-f2 in your boot to copy stuff around [15:35] ere4si, one sec [15:35] hey guys - I was looking for some suggestions, I setup a transparent bridge on my network with the desired goal of tracking all data per hosts - ie. know how much bandwidth each host is using, etc.. generate reports, etc... does anyone have any suggestions as to what software I should use? I tried to find one last night for hours, but I was unable to find any packages with that type of reporting.... [15:36] ere4si, the first post on this site http://www.silentpcreview.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=45705 the first post [15:36] bullgard4: try asking on the forums, there are many threads with similar issues and strange fixes :p. perhaps someone who knows will notice your thread [15:36] spl0it: a few years ago I used ntop, it's a web based analyzer [15:36] PLEASE i need to merge partition in ubuntu...someone help? [15:37] finalbeta: Yes, I will endeavour that. -- Thank you for commenting. [15:37] nickrud: okay I'll check that out... [15:37] any other suggestions for network accounting? [15:37] what command can I use to see bandwidth usage? (like "Up: xxxKb/s Down: xxxkb/s") [15:37] bazhang : I am currently downloading the 7.10 livecd and im not sure what i currently have on that HDDI guess it depends on what was releced within 4-6 months after may 2006. [15:37] bullgard4: another good place to ask is the ubuntu-user mail list, some smart people hang out there as well [15:37] nickrud : Could you explain more? [15:37] Hello everyone, is there anyone available to help me with an install problem? [15:38] spl0it-> iptables can count packets [15:38] Hello, when ever i want to join photo attachments in evolution, i cannot see the actual photos, instead i have a photo icon, anyway to fix it so i can see the photos i want to send? [15:38] nickrud: Ok, thank you for advising. [15:38] !ask | Neocold [15:38] Neocold: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [15:38] bkar: is there any good software to view the data - per host usage, etc? [15:38] Cobrajr122: about which? The nvidia install I have no real input to give, I don't use it just know about the limitation of the ubuntu driver [15:38] Cobrajr122-> mount an old partition on liveCd or new install should be easy, if you just want to recover data [15:39] is there any way to merge partitions in ubuntu? [15:39] mohbana, seems like all the newest gear - is that right? [15:39] Anyone know where I can download a copy of the source for atscap ? (pchdrtv) [15:39] Hey there, is there anyone, that can help me to reconfigure my graphics settings? I treid to configure it fo a second monitor and crashed it all down... [15:39] ere4si, yeh like 2 weeks old [15:39] spl0it-> you have to write the rules for iptables to mark it and count [15:39] frostwire doesn't work for me. im an amd 64 user and I donwloaded the deb. installer [15:39] k1l0: Try Gparted. But backup before you start merging. [15:39] it installed. but wont run [15:40] pandab34r: tell us the output you get in a terminal when you type 'frostwire' and hit enter [15:40] !paste | pandab34r [15:40] pandab34r: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [15:40] pandab34r: i bet a buffalo nickel you need java. [15:40] spl0it-> am sure there are apps already out there doing this, i just dont know the name [15:40] jrib is there anyway getting sound for flash ? [15:40] how do i avoid downloading .deb's twice with two computers? [15:40] or they didnt fix it yet ? [15:40] Hello, when i am trying to install, it goes fine untill it loads (scrolling text then the graphic loading bar) then a graphical background comes up and the install freezes anyone know the cause? I am new to ubuntu. Thank You. [15:40] yoluca: flash should have sound [15:40] mohbana, the developers need time to get the specs and write software to use the hardware - give thema week more [15:40] bullgard4: i've already tried it...the problem is that i need to expand the sd1 (containing windows) so it can be greater, i have 13,5 Gigs of unallocated hd space... [15:40] at the moment i cant get any resultione higher than 800 to 600 [15:40] bkar: yeah I've found hundreds of apps, I just can't find any that accompilsh the tracking of data per host [15:41] jrib .. not here [15:41] ubuntu 7.04, I have a amd 64 3000+ cpu and it seems to be stuck at 1000mhz instead of 2000mhz, any tips on getting it to change? [15:41] qj0n: copy the the deb over from /var/cache/apt/archives [15:41] IndyGunFreak: i think you're right. how do I get it? [15:41] pandab34r: for 64bit?.. don't know,.. [15:41] yoluca: don't know about it. According to adobe, it should just use alsa now. File a bug with them [15:41] crap. [15:41] nickrud: thx, will it work with synaptic or apt-get? [15:41] ere4si, but i am currently running fedora 8 which is quiet old do you have any idea what is wrong? [15:41] hi [15:41] i'm using ubuntu 7.10, graphics card is an ati radeon x800 [15:42] !apt-proxy | qj0n (a long term solution) [15:42] qj0n (a long term solution): apt-proxy is a program that acts as a local apt repository server for a LAN, only fetching from the internet when required. To set it up see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptProxy [15:42] spl0it-> well you now know what the basics behind it, either you customize or keep on searching for existing tools [15:42] !java > pandab34r (read the private message from ubotu) [15:42] qj0n: you have to copy by hand, but once it's in the archive of the other machine it will work properly with apt-get and synaptic [15:42] Heya. I am having a problem during the instalÃl (trying to install currently). I have two partitions of the same size and filetype. How do I know which one is empty and which one has my windows programs? (both claim that they have 17gb used for some reason) [15:42] thans [15:42] fedora 8 is current mohbana [15:42] jrib: does that work for 64bit to? [15:42] bkar: yeah I figured someone here would have a suggestion that they've used.. [15:42] mohbana-> fedora8 is not that old, less than 6 months or so from release? [15:42] IndyGunFreak: yes, just not the firefox plugin [15:43] bkar : Im just looking to get my files that i downloaded at that time so i can wipe the drive and install ubuntu server on it --> going along with that, I have 2 SCSIULTRA 320 15K drived on my desktop.... will ubuntu server have a problem with them? [15:43] jrib: ah, gotcha. [15:43] Tomi^^: using the livecd? [15:43] #fedora? [15:43] nickrud: I was going to ask if he could setup his 1 pc as a "repo" but I guess aptproxy does that :) [15:43] jrib: thanks [15:43] i need to expand the sd1 (containing windows) so it can be greater, i have 13,5 Gigs of unallocated hd space... [15:43] Cobrajr122-> as long as you can mount the drive to recover and a destination drive to copy over, i dont see it as an issue [15:44] pandab34r: if youd on't need special java for 64bit, it should be in the repos and easy to install. [15:44] how old is ubunut 7.10 [15:44] could it be that i downloading the 32bit version instead of the 64bit? [15:44] bkar : can the drive ot copy over to be on the network? [15:44] mohbana: 7.10 means 2007 october [15:44] hottis: few months [15:44] mohbana: october of 2007 7.10 [15:44] IdleOne: yup :) [15:44] :'(... [15:44] mohbana: 7.10= Oct 07, 8.04(next version), April 08 [15:44] rsk: yup [15:44] test [15:45] mohbana: 'uname -a' will tell you whether you have 32bit or 64 [15:45] mohbana, 7.10 means the 10nth month 07 [15:45] hottis: why asking? [15:45] Cobrajr122-> then you have to use nfs or samba or iScsci (am not sure if iscsci is supported) [15:45] k1l0: you asked the question and were answered; back up then use gparted to do so [15:45] k1l0: I personally have not tried to expand an Windows partition using Gparted. I have done such work using a commercial Windows tool. I did use Gparted successfully to shrink Windows partitons. But Linux people report in the forums that they have used Gparted successfully to expand Windows partitions. (But I read of failures as well.) [15:45] windows or linux - 64 bit is immature [15:45] bkar : oh no, ubuntu is installed on an pata 80gb maxtar :P [15:46] ere4si: i agree 100% [15:46] jrib, no i cant get past the initial boot screen it goes blank, how would i type that it? [15:46] hardware is well ahead of software in this game. [15:46] Cobrajr122-> if you can mount it and read, whats the issue? [15:46] rsk: Do you know what I should do? [15:46] . [15:46] bullgard4: when i am in Gparted and choose "resize-move" on the sda it doesn't give me the option to merge with the unallocated space... [15:46] Cobrajr122: you can install openssh-server on the ubuntu machine, then ssh in from another machine on the network and scp the files over [15:47] mohbana, use 32 bit on your comp for now [15:47] Cobrajr122-> these are two computers right? [15:47] mohbana: this is on #fedora 8 or ubuntu? [15:47] jrib do you know any application that allows me to use the integrated camera on my vaio laptop ? [15:47] mohbana: did you "check the cd for defects" (an option when you boot the cd)? [15:47] !webcam > yoluca (read the private message from ubotu) [15:47] yoluca: no, but see if that helps [15:47] is possible to split screen in ubuntu ? [15:47] bkar : yes, my PC and my laptop, which i would prefer not to install ubuntu onto because of its limited disc space, and it also have a Gforce * series card in it :p [15:48] Is there a way in thunderbird to make it so that when relpying to an e-mail I am typing at the top, not bottom, of the e-mail? [15:48] bkar : Gforce 8 ** [15:48] jrib, i cant do that either ... it goes blank when i try to do anything, basically if i select, safe graphics mode / start or install / check cd -> i get like 2 lines of output then goes blank [15:48] mohbana: try the alternate cd [15:48] mikebot: thats a question that is fairly specific to thunderbird, you're gonna have to either email mozilla tech support, or review its documentation [15:48] Cobrajr122-> we gave you suggestions, now your turn to describe where is the data to be recovered and what network do you have in between the pc and desktop? [15:48] !alternate | mohbana [15:48] mohbana: The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode installation CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD. It can also be used as an upgrade CD. - See also !minimal [15:49] IndyGunFreak: Mm, OK, thanks. [15:49] * IndyGunFreak <3's the alternate install CD [15:49] How can I tell about partition called "norsu" and partition called "kirahvi", which one is /dev/sda5 and which one/dev/sda6. They are of the same size [15:49] mohbana-> not sure if this will help, try ctrl+alt++ note the additional plus at end, or use minus to recycle rez [15:49] Tomi^^: ls -l /dev/disk/by-label [15:50] nickrud: I havemnt checked out the link yet but using aptproxy mean that all the machines on the lan would be clones? [15:50] i am pretty new to linux, how is the text install like? [15:50] IdleOne: no, the proxy would be the union of all the packages installed on all the machines [15:50] bkar : im not entierly sure what you mean by mounting the drives and stuff, But between my PC and laptop there is just a small linksys switch that is connected to my PC and laptop and my main router for the whole house. [15:50] nickrud: thanks [15:50] mohbana: ncurses based [15:50] mohbana: just as easy, but not as pretty [15:50] k1l0: May be you paid too much attention to a 'merge' and not to move the border of the two neighboring partitions. Start anew when you have slept well. -- Sorry, but your description is a bit vague. [15:51] Cobrajr122-> where is the old drive that has the data you want to recover? [15:51] Mornin' folks [15:51] good evening [15:51] good afternoon.. ;) [15:51] bkar : Its a 80GB pATA Maxtar [15:51] bullgard4: LOL maybe you're right bullgard... anyway thanks for the advice...i try now to work with borders... [15:51] nickrud: ok so pc1=proxy pc2wants package AAA and asks pc1 for it. pc1 does not have that package and gets it from ubuntu repo and then sends to pc2 correct? [15:52] Cobrajr122-> on the desktop? [15:52] bkar : correct, thats what ubuntu is installed on [15:52] IdleOne: pc1 would keep a copy of it, so if pc3 wanted it wouldn't have to go to the net to get it [15:52] nickrud: thank you [15:52] :) [15:52] Cobrajr122-> ubuntu is already installed? on a different partition? [15:53] bullgard4: what if the partitions are not "near"? in the middle i have a fat32 partition with all my data on it... [15:53] o: [15:53] can someone here tell me where i can setup the console keymap? [15:54] the keymap is a .map file [15:54] bkar : my old copy of ubuntu from late 2006 is installed on that HDD by itsself, it has the whole drive. [15:54] Cobrajr122-> how many drives does your desktop have? two ? [15:55] Cobrajr122-> see if you dont elaborate on your setup, we have to ask many questions.. [15:56] Hello. guys.. i just installed my wifi connection through the wifidocs page... but my wireless connection connects as eth1 and not as wlan0... whats exactly the at command ? [15:56] I just installed Gutsy on my PC, and during loading keyboard stops working. It is somewhere around plug & play. [15:56] What should i do? [15:56] bkar : 1 80GB maxtar (ubuntu) 1 80GB WD (windows boot) 1 250GB WD sATA (storage) 2 HP ULTRA 320 SCSI 15K drives in Raid 1 (extremly fast, install games on it) [15:56] Is there something like mrtg but simpler to set up? [15:57] hey how can i check what version of aMSN i have? i think its out of date. [15:57] How do i mount an iso? [15:58] ubuntuo: usually in a terminal, type amsn --ver [15:58] Cobrajr122-> oh and the os on that desktop is windows? [15:58] bkar : Correct [15:58] ok thanks IndyGunFreak [15:58] ubuntuo: go to the main window and go to help>about [15:58] or what ygorabreu said..lol [15:58] that doesnt work. Says file is not there [15:58] Boglizk-> mount -o loop -t iso9660 file.iso /mountpoint [15:58] bkar: thanks. [15:59] how can i check if the ubuntu 7.10 live cd is error free in another linux distro i cant seem to do it from boot [15:59] how do I reset a module? :D [15:59] ubuntuo: how did u installed? [15:59] bkar : ubuntu cant feed my gamer :P [15:59] IndyGunFreak "amsn --ver" just opens my aMSN [15:59] Cobrajr122-> you have to get a driver for windows to allow it to read ext2 [15:59] ygorabreu from the synaptic package manager [15:59] but when i used it, i got a prompt screen saying "get the latest version" [15:59] I'm looking to configure the workspace application on ubuntu to restrict window movment to the current workspace until a modifier key is depressed at which time the window via a drag would be able to move to another workspace. [15:59] can someone here tell me where i can setup the console keymap? (it's a .map file) [15:59] ubuntuo: weird. every program i have, that shows the version, [16:00] IndyGunFreak really? [16:00] bkar : you can do that? woulda loved to know that ages ago [16:00] ubuntuo: so..u could go to the amsn page and download the new version... and install tcltls package [16:00] Cobrajr122-> or if you have those external adapters ie usb to ide adapter then install the drive that way === laura is now known as Laurica [16:00] yeah i was thinking of doing that ygorabreu === Viele-baeren is now known as ABF|away [16:01] yeah my synaptic package manager says my aMSN verson is .097 [16:01] bkar : you mean like an external HDD? -- and you confused me again XD [16:01] ubuntuo: and download the autopackage..of tcl/tk8.05 or 8.4 if thats ur case... good luck! [16:01] if i want java for frostwire do i install the mozilla firefox plugin?? I cant seem to find where it tells me how to install the JRE for amd64 [16:01] bazhang: do you know what i am looking for? [16:01] thanks :) [16:01] can ayone help me with setting up MYTH TV?

[16:01] <_moro_bana_> does anyone watch tv on ubuntu, i have a tv card and i wanna use it if its possible [16:02] Cobrajr122-> yes, you can buy those casing, inside is an ide connector, outside interface is a USB connector which you can then connect to your laptop usb port [16:02] hey guys - I was looking for some suggestions, I setup a transparent bridge on my network with the desired goal of tracking all data per hosts - ie. know how much bandwidth each host is using, etc.. generate reports, etc... does anyone have any suggestions as to what software I should use? I tried to find one last night for hours, but I was unable to find any packages with that type of reporting.... [16:02] bkar : yes i know how to use an external HDD [16:02] can anyone help me isntall my scanner [16:02] it is 3300 scan to web [16:02] my system is all up to date. I didnt get an "error" just when i installed aMSN from Synaptic when i logged into my accoutn it says "there is a new version visit the site blah blah to upgrade" [16:02] acer [16:02] bkar : but i see where your going now [16:02] pandab34r: no. [16:03] Cobrajr122-> so move your old drive inside those casing adaptor and plug it in as usb [16:03] how can i install mIRC on ubuntu [16:03] is there a sudo command? [16:03] pandab34r: the firefox java plugin doesn't work for 64bit without installing 32bit browser installed and other hoop jumping. [16:03] ubuntuo: yeah mate.. but if u say that when u go to help>about and theres no file this is a error..dont ya think) :P [16:03] rpt, you can use wine, but xchat is superior in linux [16:03] Cobrajr122-> but if you dont have that external adaptor, load the ext2 driver for windows, you have to google to find one [16:03] yeah [16:04] bkar : i think it would be easier to get the ext3 windows reader, do you know fo a name? [16:04] it said something like "that file you requested is not yet available or translated" [16:04] something weird [16:04] IndyGunFreak: so i dont understand how somone would get frostwire running on a 64bit system [16:04] k1l0: As far as I remember you can only deal with adjacent partitions in Gparted. A partition in the middle can only dealt with as follows: Back it up. Extend your target partition. Copy the backup files in the target partition. [16:04] ubuntuo: anyway.. download the autopackage..install the tcltls and there should be no problem..GL ! xD [16:04] ok...so now i have an empty partition...what if i copy and paste this (empty) in the sda1 partition (system)? [16:04] pandab34r: very good question [16:04] okay thanks mate cheers! [16:04] why did you download 64bit?

[16:24] ive already posted a thread [16:24] Jatz-> what is odd is the system allowed it to use the /tmp to own it [16:24] schmeh I only redefine the capslock key.

[16:32] bkar: I just dont want to break something [16:32] >_> [16:32] jatz when /tmp is only at 1meg, you may as well, /tmp should have been a temp dir so nothing should break [16:32] that so didn't work [16:32] Jatz: give him a second, he's thinking about how wierd it all is :0 [16:33] htns: how did you install it?

That's a lot of wasted time. Multiply that by every user and think of the lost productivity. With any other OS surely I would be doing what I wanted to do instead of trying to learn the OS after 4 hours. [16:43] say i install ubuntu and later decide to remove it, how would i do that? i am assuming i would just format the disc thats it on right? the entry would still be in the grub menu right? [16:43] DRebellion I rest my case [16:43] 4 hours? :} [16:44] Wrong. You can't just call every person with a valid complaint a troll. That makes you a sycophant. [16:44] I guess windows has it's advantages but it's the least efficient operating system by far. [16:44] The whole purpose of Ubuntu is user friendliness.

I have already re configured my Xorg and it didnt work so how do i revert to before the updates? can i uninstall the updates through the apt-get or should i load ubuntu into minimal graphics mode and use synaptic? [17:15] like they might open a nautilus window in / and wonder what all this bin and etx stuff is 'oh ill delete that' lol [17:15] I suggest that we take our ideas and post them somewhere.

[17:45] thanks [17:45] oreth: I would make it +r (chmod -R +r ~/.wine) and see if that helps. [17:46] profx: My point is that your fstab line is not correct and that is what is causing fsck/mounting to fail. [17:46] hai, my internet doesn't work with my kubuntu distrobution... it had been working fine until i rebooted. and earlier, i had did a "sudo aptitude upgrade".. i'm thinking that has something to do with it, or maybe my iptables are not allowing me to access the internet? [17:46] it did not :( [17:46] Pci how so? what changes do I need to make ? [17:47] it says... [17:47] oreth: I wonder if chmod 777 ~/.wine would fix it. Do you have anything installed in ~/.wine?

[17:56] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53591/ [17:57] profx: /media just holds folders (which may be mountpoints), you need to format your fstab lines in the format: /dev/something /somemountpoint options [17:57] profx: That is not the format that you have there.

[18:05] htns, you mean like an agenda ? i use mozilla sunbird for that, it's not perfect though. but its ok [18:05] tim168: um, i dont think so, it's basically a timer. you set it to 1 hour and it alerts you after an hour.

[18:12] both, yes [18:12] rootborn: ipw2100: Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 Network Connection [18:12] gonna reboot [18:12] profx: I was just going to suggest that [18:12] df will tell you what is mounted [18:13] my resolution wont change it's now 1600x1200 and i want it 1280x1024 but it just wont apply [18:13] xoqa, mine is 3...

Also times in gnome calendar applet are one hour behind my appointment times in evoloution (the applet reads evolution calendar). How is this possible? If I set the right time, it still goes back one hour after I reboot :S [18:14] those mounts are empty [18:15] tetzke9 - try and see if your screen res options are in file /etc/X11/xorg.conf - you may be able to apply from there - then reboot [18:15] whois volk volk [18:15] rootborn: it was automatically configured for me [18:15] *blush* [18:15] df gives nothing for /home/profx/500 or 700 [18:15] envy [18:16] profx: can you pastebin the output of mount [18:16] !envy | mikelinux [18:16] mikelinux: envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » [18:16] Ihave problems running apt-proxy, could someobody give me a good link? [18:16] Pici, sorry, just the 'mount' command ? [18:16] profx: yes [18:16] hi [18:17] profx: and sudo fdisk -l [18:17] I was here today, under other nick, but i did not save the link i was given anywhere...

[18:24] when i change the driver from nvidida to nv it works fine [18:24] sudobash, nvidia-glx-new or -old? [18:24] any one wants help with ZXDSL 852 modem with Gutsy [18:24] hello, any idea where one might be able to get drivers for ubuntu? got some hardware stuff from MSI, and they don't seem to have any support for linux what so ever [18:24] i am running gnome, if i want to burn the ubuntu iso i just click the .iso and click write to disc right? [18:24] i guess old let me try the new one [18:25] mohbana, correct [18:25] how do i exit the X server and terminate all opengl applications??? [18:25] does anyone use vmware workstation i am wanting to transfer files from linux to my virtual hard drive [18:25] yeah adub i used to have that same problem [18:25] x-X-x: if you exit the X server, the OpenGL apps should be taken care of. :) Ctrl+Alt+Backspace should do. [18:25] big file? [18:25] adub i recommend u use virtual box its free and on par with vmware [18:25] adub, some sort of network file sharing (samba, ftp, ssh, nfs) will do [18:25] i used to just use a flash drive [18:26] yeah ftp works well [18:26] x-X-x, that won't help him solve the problem.,, [18:26] since they both have IP [18:26] exit the X server and terminate all OpenGL applications (note that it is possible that some OpenGL applications persist even after the X server has stopped) [18:26] x-X-x: check with top when you're in a console. [18:26] (or just from within your current X session) [18:26] seveas do you have this setup from virtual windows and linux [18:26] or ps aux [18:27] adub, yeah, using samba there [18:27] !install [18:27] Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways.

It cannot continue." [18:37] Hi my grub isnt finding my windows XP .. its not in the menu.lst!

[18:37] ok well it looks like the nvidia-xconf did not specify a hardware location so it can located the GPU [18:37] harm: bkar just answered your question... [18:37] bkar: embedded ?

[18:46] what is the difference between mysql-client and mysql-server? what are the 2 packages? [18:46] orgthingy, you might find something here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam [18:47] doesnt look like this is a official help channel .... maybe opensuse or madriva will help getting rid of those errors [18:47] bkar: i really haven't done much, knetworkmanager statest that it is disconnected and that no device is found.. and yet when i go into the manual configuration, it says eth1 and eth0 are both enabled.. i'm willing to give more technical information, but i'm not sure what you want [18:47] hi gusy the ubuntu fits on a cd right ... i dont need a dvd for it do i?

[18:48] oh, odd-rationale, if I just do one cd, could i just do the server(, and easily install gui a environment later)? [18:49] cottima: yeh, you can install the gnome desktop packages [18:49] DRebellion: Ehhh ok thanks [18:49] cottima: You mean just get the server cd? [18:49] yoluca, then perhaps you could, and then you would get errors [18:49] xoqa-> when you say you did manual configuration, what did you do? [18:49] cottima: You can add the ubuntu-desktop package later yeah [18:50] DRebellion, ignoring me ? [18:50] I cant import my apt--get cache to apt-proxy cache [18:50] cottima: But you can add apache,mysql,php,ssh to a desktop install easily [18:50] profx: no, i just have no idea how to fix your problem :P [18:50] I receive lots of messages like 'No packages files avalaible for ...' [18:50] BTW what is the differnce between the server kernel and the generic kernel?

[18:52] !flaashissues [18:52] Sorry, I don't know anything about flaashissues - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [18:52] !flash [18:52] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [18:52] The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads.

Can anyone tell me how to start the printer ? it says stopped in the printer configuration and doesnt print ubuntu 7.10 [18:53] Odd-rationale, you are supposed to /msg ubotu flash -- it is in the topic [18:53] IndyGunFreak: please use !brokenflash, as !flash is too long. [18:53] DRebellion: ?.. whatever [18:53] ompaul: !flashissues just give the second message, though. Not both. Shorter. [18:53] can I get some more help with my mounting, http://www.pastebin.ca/873597 [18:53] * ompaul thinks that should not be the case we need to make that shorter [18:53] xoqa-> so you want me to look at a paste with no real ip address? faked? mistypes? [18:54] i need some info about clusters, anyone can answer me in pvt? [18:54] brobostigon: So I can easily setup up a server with a generic kernel and vice versa? [18:54] profx-> what is the issue with your mounts? [18:54] ok..found it in the printer jobs it can be restarted...it would be easy to have a start button in the printer configuration next to the status ... ! [18:55] Otacon22: look up beowolf, on linux doc project, that will aswer your question [18:55] 'fsck.ext3: is a directory while trying to oepn /media/sdc1 /media/sdc1: The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ex2 filesystem.' DRebellion [18:55] bkar: what does it matter? [18:55] brobostigon, ghgh, i want experience questions about what could i do with a cluster or not [18:55] Otacon22 - what sort of cluster - what are you looking to do with it [18:55] Odd-rationale: i dont see why not, but a server kernal isnt designed for desktop and viceversa [18:55] xoqa-> you want me to assist you with correct info? or i can fake it too? [18:55] good [18:55] i would like to create a cluster for gaming [18:56] bkar: i just don't want my IP address out [18:56] my alt ctrl shift capslock stop working what can i do', this happen when i use vmware workstation , distro hardy [18:56] using software rendering [18:56] it is possibile? [18:56] *is it [18:57] danand, ? [18:57] brobostigon: I still wonder what actually is the difference. I know the difference between the generic kernel and the real-time kernel. Just would like to know how the server kernel fits in the picture. [18:57] xoqa-> then describe your problem clearly be specific please [18:57] Otacon22 - your talking (i believe) about HPC Clusters - High performance computing. Rendering farms - that type of thing? [18:58] Kernel PAnic - not syncing CFS: unable to mount root FS on unknown-block(0,0, [18:58] bkar: my wireless connection works, my cable connection doesn't. [18:58] i don't know, i want to have an advise, that is what i would like to do: a gaming cluster [18:58] not syncing VFS [18:58] Odd-rationale: i dont know what the difference is, just the difference in what they are designed for. [18:58] how can i restart the keyboard module, control or something thats broken [18:58] any idea how I can patch that up? it was caused by a bad shutdown [18:58] brobostigon: OK. Well thanks though [18:58] xoqa-> okay, elaborate on how these two are connected, which pc is which? [18:59] Otacon22 - you mean you want to play games using a cluster of computers?? [18:59] Otacon22: what is a gaming cluster, whats it for?? [18:59] xoqa-> how many pc? [18:59] bkar: both are on my laptio [18:59] yes, is it possibile? [18:59] laptop* [18:59] (using software rendering) [18:59] or a simple network game [18:59] sounds cool... *wants a gaming cluster* [18:59] I have a MacBook here, and I'm wondering which version of Ubuntu to install, "Standard personal computer", or "64bit AMD and Intel computers". [18:59] xoqa-> if you are going to be difficult, good luck in getting help..i ask you to elaborate, making me guess i will give you wrong advise [18:59] have you heard of parallel linux? [19:00] bkar: i'm trying man [19:00] daedra: thats like beowulf, is it?? [19:00] if you gain root access and type startx it will bypass GDM and load you straight into X desktop [19:00] Otacon22 - I've been around clusters and HPC parallel computing for a while and I've never heard of anyone doing anything like that [19:00] no brobostigon : i mean : i have some old pc and i want to use those power to create a most powerful pc for gaming [19:00] XD [19:01] xoqa-> okay lets start, what do you have? how is your internet access provided? what equipment? [19:01] i thought parallel was a virtual machine type program [19:01] is there a way to check if both my cores are working as they should? [19:01] danand, if i will compile for example wine program [19:01] hello i installed xserver-xgl, to get desktop effects. but i would like to know how to setup a regular X session in gdm, anyone know how? [19:01] (7.10) [19:01] and then i will emulate a game [19:01] i'm on a c2d [19:01] Otacon22 - good creative thinking ;) [19:01] this into a cluster. should work better than on one pc? [19:01] Otacon22: thats wht beowuld does, process sharing across the network,etc [19:02] brobostigon: yep, beowulf. look up "Parallel Knoppix" [19:02] i tried clusterknoppix (with openMOSIX) but i haven't understanded so mush [19:02] *much [19:02] guys, how can i update ubuntu kernel? [19:02] Otacon22-> i sort of remember about SETI that shares computing power to zilions of puter, same concept you trying to achieve? [19:02] Otacon22 - No - the game would have to be specially written to make use of all the pc's [19:02] Octacon22: you need a PXE boot network card in each machine [19:03] bkar, i have a cable connection through Comcast, not sure what type of modem. my connection is through wireless at the moment. and this is odd because wireless hadn't worked before until after a restart after doing "sudo aptitude upgrade", and after the restart, the cable connection stopped working. [19:03] parsi: either you updgrade to a more recent release or you compile your own [19:03] and yes, the game must be programmed to support threading [19:03] Would: echo "some code" | sudo -t /etc/sudoers work correctly? [19:03] Lapper: I assume your macbook has an intel processor? [19:03] ikaruga3001: thankx [19:03] somebody know hot to make .exe in Linux? [19:03] how* [19:03] parsi: however, i believe that the ubuntu dev team frowns upon compiling your own... so the eaiser choice is to upgrade [19:03] chazco, really don't do that... [19:04] Cpudan80: That's correct. [19:04] Lapper: The question is --- does your macbook support 64 bit? I don't think they do.... but I could be wrong [19:04] PriceChild - Any reason why not? Its part of a recovery script im trying to make [19:04] parsi: however, that brings its own set of problems --- like your hardware might not be able to handle it [19:04] Otacon22 - I don't think what you want to do (Use cluster of linux hosts running wine to run windows games faster) [19:04] xoqa-> how is the wireless somehow getting to the internet? you have not elaborated on that connectivity [19:04] Lapper: what kind of processor is it? [19:04] Cpudan80: Core 2 Duo. [19:04] Otacon22 will work without rewrite of game [19:04] chajust be ridiculously careful when messing with sudoers. [19:04] chazco, ^ [19:04] i need help setting up my wireless card on my dell inspiron 500m [19:04] danand, this idea comed because a my friend wanted to change pc and i saied him:"we should make a super pc, what supports all new games with shaders and all.." and another my friend have 10-15 old pc that i could use [19:04] Otacon22 Sorry join last 2 [19:04] Lapper: Oh ok, you can use the AMD64 one if you want ---- then you get 64 bit support [19:05] I just installed mysql-server and it popped up asking me some question with an input box but I was typing when it popped up and it went away quickly. What did it ask me for? [19:05] Lapper: There are some headaches when running the 64 bit version though [19:05] Hello, How can I recover my grub boot loader , I have installed windows and lost grub ... How to recover it ? ( using gutsy gibson ) [19:05] is there such a such as a boot.iso in the dvd iso, so I don't have to burn a dvd and can keep the iso file on another pc or drive during install? [19:05] PriceChild - Trying to be :) Theres an app that requires sudo normally, wanted to eliminate it [19:05] ikaruga3001: do ubuntu servers include these updates? [19:05] bkar: 802.11(b|g) [19:05] not sure which one [19:05] Cpudan80: I was asking because the last time I attempted to install Ubuntu, I downloaded the 64 bit one and it wouldn't let me install. [19:05] !grub > netcrash [19:05] Lapper: Namely flash and firefox (flash is broken now anyway, due to Adobe's misstep) [19:05] parsi: they should [19:05] Hm, by Dellbuntu lappy doesn't seem to have Compiz working. I'm surprised. This is the first time I have problems with Compiz on an Intel video card. Where can I begin looking for help? [19:05] danand, and i can't also use all pc to create a powerful main pc? [19:05] Lapper: Really? hmmm.... [19:05] ikaruga3001: anyway...thankx [19:06] parsi: oh you're talking about security patches [19:06] !grub | netcrash [19:06] netcrash: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [19:06] xoqa-> once more, elaborate, 802.11(b|g) how is this connected to the internet? [19:06] http://pareto.uab.es/mcreel/ParallelKnoppix/ [19:06] Otacon22 - no - not in the manner that you want to do [19:06] ikaruga3001: no, it's about kernel updates [19:06] Alright, I am in need of some help. I have a file that refuses to work, I was told on a forum to try 'sudo chmod +x starttimeforwarclient.sh' but it doesn't seem to work, nor does clicking on the file in the folder itself. Here is a screenshot: http://img139.imageshack.us/img139/551/screenshot1na8.png [19:06] I get an error opening Kate... is there a place where more detailed error logs can be found? [19:06] Cpudan80: So what does the 64 AMD/Intel version offer that makes it worth the Flash/FF hassle you're talking about? [19:06] can anyone please help me setup my wireless card on my dell inspiron 500m [19:06] %somegroup ALL=(root) NOPASSWD:/usr/bin/someapp <-- is that valid syntax for sudoers then? [19:06] otacon22: what you're trying to do is not currently possible... the problem is that you won't be able to get the combined CPU power into one machine fast enough to support a 3D game [19:06] Otacon22 - to make use of all them machines you need specially written applications [19:07] ikaruga3001, if i use 1000 mb networks cards? [19:07] Lapper: Well - you get support for x86_64 applications, and you can install 4 GBs of ram (or more) [19:07] Otacon22 - Typically beowulf clusters are used for scientific/engineering purposes [19:07] YES [19:07] Lapper: for a lot of people, x86 is still just fine [19:07] but it don't means that i can't use it to do what i want [19:08] Cpudan80: I only have a gig, and what kinds of applications are x86_64? [19:08] otacon22: i don't think that's possible .... you won't get realtime results [19:08] ikaruga3001 - agree - latency is the issue === crni is now known as tainstvena [19:08] hum [19:08] Lapper: Pretty much all the major packages have an x86_64 counterpart -- basically it allows the app to address into higher memory ranges [19:08] bkar: i'm guessing its this: Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 Network Connection [19:08] xoqa-> man you're a tuff nut to crack, you will not tell me how this device is connected to the internet [19:09] lapper: 4gb ram + [19:09] Cpudan80: So I would only need 64bit/AMD/Intel if I had a log of RAM? [19:09] Lapper: But since you only have 1 GB of ram, it wouldnt matter anyway (as your highest address block is within the x86 cap) [19:09] Uh... nvm, I figured it out. [19:09] ikaruga3001, and about other applications that don't need realtime answer? [19:09] Lapper: Pretty much (or if you were a developer) [19:09] lot* [19:09] a stupid example: firefox in clustering ? [19:09] Cpudan80: So "Standard personal computer" is the one for me? [19:09] xoqa-> where is your AP? how is it connected to the internet? related to your comcast connection? [19:09] This is weird. Dell says this thing should have 4 gigs of RAM. Ubuntu says it has 3.5 gigs. [19:10] Lapper: yeah - that'll be fine (keep in mind flash is broken right now) [19:10] bkar: AP? [19:10] zdr [19:10] Not that I'm gonna gripe about half a gig of RAM, but I do wonder where it went off to. [19:10] Hi, iam still having problems booting my windows partition.. grub doesnt want to seem to detect it [19:10] JordiGH: You need ububtu x86_64 to see the rest of it [19:10] !ap | xoqa [19:10] Sorry, I don't know anything about ap - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [19:10] Otacon22 - No again the application would have to be specially rewritten to make use of the resources - ie all of your old machines [19:10] Cpudan80: Are you sure? [19:10] Cpudan80: Thanks a bunch. The broken flash is for everybody, no? [19:10] otacon22: clusters are basically used to do stuff that can be processed separately ... for example: processing a movie file (applying filters etc.) [19:10] Hey guys, how can i check all of the ip adresses on my network? [19:10] Lapper: yep [19:10] xoqa-> AP == access point [19:10] !brokenflash | lapper [19:10] Cpudan80: Why didn't Dell install the 64bit Ubuntu then? [19:10] Cpudan80: All right. Thanks for the help. [19:10] lapper: The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix. [19:10] hummm [19:10] sooty-> your box only? [19:10] JordiGH: Dell has their head in the ground [19:11] otacon22: however, an application still needs real-time access [19:11] JordiGH: They pull the same BS with windows machines [19:11] Cpudan80: Actually, everything here works out of the box. It's kinda nice. [19:11] ikaruga3001 - no - they can be made to communicate to solve a single problem using message passing libraried like pvm and mpi [19:11] JordiGH: The problem is not with ubuntu (or windows) - it's a limitation of how much RAM bits you can encode with 32 binary digits [19:11] bkar, theres about 4 machines on the network, i want to no the ip adresses, but i can only use my machine,. not the other 3 [19:11] Cpudan80: Well, almost everything. If you didn't know about Compiz, you wouldn't be noticing that it's not working. ;-) [19:11] JordiGH: It just so happends, that it's a little bit less than 4GBs === davies is now known as jpatrick [19:11] danand: oh ok... [19:12] JordiGH: Yeah I saw that..... I dunno much about it though, sorry [19:12] danand: but we're still talking about specialized tasks right? [19:12] ikaruga3001 - but that takes lots of effort :( [19:12] Cpudan80: I've heard contradictory stuff on the matter, that it's possible to see 4 gigs of RAM with 32bit systems and some highmem thing in Linux. [19:12] JordiGH: THat's a dangerous hack - dont do it [19:12] sooty-> are you in the corporate environment? if at home, look at your dhcp server see which clients has subscribed to [19:13] Can anyone help me setup my wireless card? [19:13] JordiGH: a similar hack exists for windows [19:13] i put in my ipod. and i am at rhythmbox. but none of my songs will play! [19:13] I get an error opening Kate... is there a place where more detailed error logs can be found? [19:13] Bam_: usually /var/log -- or in the directory where you fired it up (try opening from the command line --- kate & ) [19:13] Cpudan80: I'm gonna wipe the hd and install Debian anyways. :-) I'm just trying to give Dell an honest and fair review of the lappy they gave me. Minus few snags like Compiz and some freedom issues, this thing is a real beauty. I'm overall very pleased with the Dellbuntu lappy. [19:13] bkar, its a home network,. i no for a fact there is at least 3 machines on the network, but the router site only shows 2 dhcp connections [19:13] i wanted to use clusters to increase the power of my pc, not to disperse it [19:13] Cpudan80: thanks will try [19:14] Anyone here running a clean install of LAMP on 7.10? Can you post the default ports.conf? [19:14] Bam_-> you can try strace in the command line, can you launch strace commandlineforkate [19:14] ikaruga3001 - I used clusters of machines running debian to solve engineering problems - Computational Fluid Dynamics. This involved splitting a problem up into small chunks that each machine would work on - each communicating their results to eachother [19:14] Nexuiz runs at 45 fps with the Intel video card out of the box! [19:14] JordiGH: Ahh I see === Ash908 is now known as Ashfire908 [19:14] i put in my ipod and i am at rhythmbox but none of my songs will play [19:14] Nexuiz came in a box and it ran out!? [19:14] catch that Nexuiz quickly! [19:14] sooty-> do all 4 uses dhcp? or one is using static? [19:15] Iam having some problems with grub.. it wont detect my windows partition! [19:15] HardDisk: A generalised box. A box somewhere in an Ubuntu server, and it ran into my minibox, my lappy. [19:15] Otacon22 - again not possible in the manner you want to use it [19:15] danand: yup... but doing basic stuff like word processing won't benefit [19:15] sooty-> and why can you not access those other 3 ? [19:15] danand: cool [19:15] harm, why not? [19:15] miniboxes are for donuts. [19:15] harm back again? you have done what I suggested yes? [19:16] probs not much happening with game clusters though [19:16] harm, you will need to edit your grub [19:16] grub: i dont know upgrade-grub wont find it.. and i added it manually but it keeps giving me errors about the device [19:16] ikaruga3001 - no - the programs / application must be specially written to take advantage of all the pc's. If however you have a machine with several pocessors in it that may work [19:16] harm, what error? [19:16] daedra - cheers ;) i like it [19:16] grub: 13 or 14 i think.. let me paste my menu.lst [19:17] what package is "git" in? sudo apt-get install git does not give it to me [19:17] Anyone else have other impressions on the Dellbuntu boxen? [19:17] how can i remove proprietary driver for my wireless device, if i want to use ndiswrapper instead? [19:17] bkar, heres the deal,.,. me and my son are the home network admins,. my son is ethernet but the wire keeps being pulled out by someone in the house, so i want to block there internet for a bit,.,. but the dont show up on the dhcp list [19:17] Does Hardy still require you to use the alternate CD to encrypt your system disk? [19:17] it seems that the nvidia-glx-new is only.07 and the sh script on the nvidia site it .09 [19:17] I put in my iPod. And I am at Rhythmbox. But none of my songs will play. [19:17] Rusty_Ryan: Uh, you're aware that you'll be running proprietary drivers with ndiswrapper too? [19:17] bkar: strace is a bit verbose :) [19:17] yep, i am... [19:17] Bam_ you want loggin..heh.. [19:17] nm i guess it was in git-arch or git-core [19:18] CroX: you can ENCRYPT! your system disk! COOOOL [19:18] lol [19:18] !hardy | CroX [19:18] CroX: hardy is Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE PRE BETA (ALPHA) SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu [19:18] grub >> http://pastebin.ca/873643 [19:18] I know you can do it with truecrypt but didn't know ubuntu supported that [19:18] daedra: Debian has had that since etch. I was surprised that hard drive encryption didn't make it into feisty or edgy. [19:18] PriceChild: Hint taken, thanks. [19:18] can you get evolution to minimize to tray? [19:19] sooty-> this particular problematic pc, is it assigned static ip address as opposed from dhcp ? if static, off course dhcp server will not see it has lease it [19:19] I saw a nice encrypted set up in openbsd [19:19] daedra: Truecrypt had license issues, and the jury is still out if it still has them with the license change, but we've been able to encrypt our hard drives with alternatives for a while. [19:19] Can somebody help me with iptables and its --source parameter. I'm wondering if I could use a hostname with a mask for it, like "--source *.this.is.the*hostname"? [19:19] * aragorn needs help with Rhythmbox [19:19] do I have to seperate all of my commands with && or can I just say: ; [19:19] I have source code to hide!

[19:21] harm and what is the issue with it ? [19:21] for future reference [19:21] olskolirc: They mean different things [19:21] Hi, does anyone know a way to "really" install nvidia drivers on a HP Pavilion dv6646 laptop and running Gutsy, I run the official installer, but when I reboot it's like nothing has been done and I don't have graphic interface any more :( [19:21] which filesystem do you use tussey [19:21] when do I use ; [19:21] olskolirc: ; executes them 1 after the other [19:21] um [19:21] ok and what is && [19:21] what is the default for linux? [19:21] ZFS? [19:21] bkar: its still not loading my XP [19:21] bkar, its not static,. should be dhcp but it isnt showing up [19:21] olskolirc: && will tell the second one to execute if and only if the first one succeeded [19:21] olskolirc: It's better to use && as a general rule. && means "execute next command if previous one was successful", ; means "just do these things, doesn't matter if the first command doesn't work." [19:22] spydon: whatever ubuntu does by default [19:22] ohhh ok [19:22] harm-> at last line you proly need to add boot right after chainloader +1 [19:22] tussey, hmm it is often ext3 I think' [19:22] JordiGH: beat me to it :) [19:22] bkar, is there a way of checking connected clients from the terminal?

[19:22] thks , that helped thks geokeratz , danand [19:22] i swear grub is a mysterios piece of software [19:22] i prefer the reference to ; though [19:22] cya later [19:22] Boo nvidia!

[19:23] ok [19:23] nvidia gets free cake [19:23] Rusty_Ryan: Is it listed in /et/modules?

[19:28] is there another program out there for linux so I can install special effects??? [19:28] apahe ant [19:28] MaNRo - the package you get needs to compile a module for your kernel - so you might need kernel headers / source etc [19:28] ArmyAndy Apache?

[20:00] ciao a tutti [20:00] mrbb, ciao [20:00] davidw: use mencoder [20:00] io ho ubuntu 7.10 [20:00] !info k9copy | davidw [20:00] neocold: Now that that's out of the way, what I would suggest is possibly using what is called the alternative text install CD. It's text based and won't have driver problems and should work fine. [20:00] davidw: k9copy (source: k9copy): DVD backup tool for KDE. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 1.1.3-0ubuntu2 (gutsy), package size 1409 kB, installed size 2748 kB [20:00] Has anyone been able to install the official NVIDIA linux drivers from the site? if so who did u do it ?? [20:00] ma ho alcumi problemi [20:00] !it | mrbb [20:00] mrbb: Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! [20:01] neocold: I'll have the bot send you a private message that will help you see it. [20:01] pizza break! [20:01] x-X-x: you shouldn't need them [20:01] chi mi può aiutare? [20:01] !alternate > neocold [20:01] soundray, thanks! [20:01] mrbb: English only. [20:01] mrbb, c'e` un #ubuntu-it === crossed is now known as crossed|pizza| [20:01] mrbb: /join #ubuntu-it [20:01] MrObvious so i need to download a different install cd for my other install? [20:02] why english only? is it to segregate linguistic minorities? [20:02] neocold: Yes. [20:02] Sonja: no, this is the primary channel, the primary langauge is english [20:02] Sonja: yes [20:02] Sonja: it also makes it easy for people to contribute [20:02] Sonja: dont be an arse. english only is confusing enough imagine adding 10-15 more languages in heree [20:02] [20:02] * aragorn screams [20:02] Sonja: It's less confusing for one, and two we have seperate channels for different languages. It's not a linguistically racial thing, but rather ease of support thing. [20:02] lol [20:02] * filthpig is glad to live in a country where ripping dvds is legal [20:02] ikonia i do i need best support for my card and games and the .07 drivers (which i have now uninstalled) had a mozilla bug which apparently is now fixed. But i installed the .07 drivers through envy and envy didnt update to .09 so i uninstalled envy too and downloaded the .09 drivers from the website [20:02] filthpig: we don't need the /me commands [20:02] why was english chosen as the primary language, though? [20:02] but i cant install them [20:03] oh lola [20:03] MrObvious: ah... i see why you are named Mr Obvious [20:03] it's a bit political [20:03] it says i need xserver with opengl apps shut down [20:03] x-X-x: I disagree - they are the "best" drivers for your card [20:03] ikaruga3001: I try my best. [20:03] Sonja: because it is the mother tongue of the founder and initiator of Ubuntu [20:03] !ot [20:03] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [20:03] MrObvious, ok... also for about a minute the screen was showing Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 0 is this a problem? [20:03] it would be cool to have something that translated every thing into your langage on the client side [20:03] Sonja: Because most of the world speaks English or can have it translated. [20:03] I updated Wine this morning to 0.9.54 and now Warcraft3 doesn't work right. How do I downgrade it back to 0.9.53? [20:03] but when i terminate gdm i lose terminal becouse i use gnome terminal and it is terminated when i terminate gdm [20:03] MrObvious: bad answer ;) [20:03] neocold: How stable is the hard drive. [20:03] filthpig: probably not where I am, especiall backing up verbatim, but dd_rescue works perfectly without leaving a trail of logs on my ISP [20:03] soundray: :p [20:04] x-X-x: the nvidia.com drivers are not supported by ubuntu, request support form nvidia support channels [20:04] ikonia ok thnx anyway [20:04] x-X-x: you have chose to use non-ubuntu supported/deployed software [20:04] I'm now awaiting my Dell Inspiron 510n with Ubuntu. :) [20:04] MrObvious it is stable i have been using it for windows [20:04] mouseboyx: that type of trnanslation sofwtare doesn't exist yet (perfect translation that is) [20:04] mouseboyx: you'll get a lot of gibberish [20:04] theunixgeek: link please [20:04] but it would ne better than nothing... [20:04] Hello, I was wondering if anyone could give me a hand. I got an error 'fsck.ext3: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/sdb1' [20:05] neocold: Ok. I'm not sure on the Buffer overflow errrors. Maybe searching the Ubuntu Forums (ubuntuforums.org) will be of assistance. [20:05] IdleOne: dell.com/open [20:05] yahcason: is there a device file /dev/sdb1 [20:05] and '/dev/sdb1: the superblock could not be read [20:05] yahcason: when does this happen? [20:05] MrObvious, ok thank you for your help [20:05] I am not sure, but to eliminate the problemn I chnaged the fstab [20:05] yahcason: looks like the file system on it is corrupted [20:05] and now I dont get it anymore [20:05] https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/23150 [20:05] yahcason: although that doesn't expalin the "no-such-file" problem [20:05] does that mean I got a virus? [20:05] neocold: You're welcome. [20:05] yahcason: no, it means your file system was corrupted [20:06] IdleOne: is that the link you want? [20:06] ok, so how would I change it or prevent it [20:06] from happening again, because all of my home directories are gone [20:06] yahcason: always shutdown your machine cleanly is the best advice [20:07] ok, it is a server and I really didnt want it to shut down but I think something happened with the apache rebooting and having a password on the ssl certificate file [20:07] is there any way I can get my home directories back? [20:07] yahcason: if your home directories were on /dev/sdb1, and /dev/sdb1 is not mounted any more after your fstab change, then you just have to mount that partition again [20:08] yahcason: try 'sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /home' [20:08] ok, that sounds reasonable, I will do so now, thanks [20:08] cant find that partition I guess === noor is now known as NoOrdinaryRabbit [20:09] yahcason: what partitions can you find? Check with 'sudo fdisk -l' and see if you recognize the one with your /home directories === NoOrdinaryRabbit is now known as NoNameTheMighty [20:10] yahcason: if you're unlucky, the entire /dev/sdb is dead [20:11] ok, wow, I had a raid array and I am not sure if I set it up properly, but I noticed in the root home directory I have a new vmlinuz.old and initrd.img.old [20:11] yahcason: thats just a kernel upgrade [20:11] yahcason: that doesn't sound like you're using ubuntu [20:11] yahcason: unless you have changed them manually [20:11] oh, ok [20:11] yahcason: are you using ubuntu ? [20:11] nope didnt do anything. Yes, ubuntu server [20:11] yahcason: what version 6.06 ? [20:11] yahcason: If SDB is dead and you need to recover data I would highly suggest spending 89 bucks for Steve Gibson's hard drive software SpinRite. He developed it himself 20 years ago. grc.com is the site. If you have a RAID array you'll have to load each HD individually and run it outside of the array. [20:12] That SpinRite stuff isn't all its cracked up to be [20:12] what command can I use to output the given line of a file? [20:12] It takes eons to run and doesnt work very often [20:12] Cpudan80: Yeah but it can help. [20:12] Is this correct: main is to universe as restrited is to multiverse ? [20:12] Anyone know what the disk encryption feature is called? [20:12] grep mrMister_ [20:12] ok, thanks, but how do I check to see if the sdb is dead? [20:12] it's 100 bucks to /hope/ it works [20:12] lymeca: no [20:12] main and restricted are officially supported by Canonical Ltd. and universe and multiverse aren't? [20:13] spinrite has worked for me 5 out of 6 times i've used it [20:13] I updated Wine this morning to 0.9.54 and now Warcraft3 doesn't work right. How do I downgrade it back to 0.9.53? Force Version in Synaptic only gives me the choice to go back to 0.9.46. [20:13] Also his claims that it fixes the drive by re-magnetizing each block is just stupid [20:13] mrmonday: what do you know about the line? [20:13] soundray, I know its number [20:13] yahcason: try mount a partition [20:13] grep file phrase mrmonday [20:13] Cpudan80: "re-magnetizing" probably just means reading and writing back what was read [20:13] got a question - im trying to delete/edit some printes on my 7.10 machine, however when (in the printer section) it asks for a password presumably root password , it doesnt work, anyone know why? [20:13] mouseboyx: how is that going to work when he wants a line number [20:13] mrmonday: 'head -n 10 file | tail -n 1' spits out the tenth line [20:13] oh. [20:13] how ddo i make my computer use more swap space? [20:13] dehspehl: Which has not been proven to do anything other than stress the drive [20:14] pvl1: is it running out of swap space [20:14] soundray, is there an easier way to do that? [20:14] dehspehl: I just think the guy needs to keep his mouth shut [20:14] mrmonday: there's a more straightforward way, I'm sure, but I'm not good with sed, awk etc. [20:14] ikonia, not at all. i mean phgysically prefer swap of ram [20:14] ikonia, *over [20:14] pvl1: ... why would it? [20:14] pvl1: ???? that doesn't make sense [20:15] ikonia, i mean like i want it to use more percent of swap then ram [20:15] pvl1: why ? [20:15] pvl1: what possible good reason is there for that [20:15] pvl1: I don't see why. It lowers performance. [20:15] pvl1: swap is for when you run out of ram [20:15] Cpudan80: That's your opinion and I respect that. [20:15] ikonia, oh well since apperently its slower nvm [20:16] <_MrPink2007_> !font [20:16] Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer [20:16] dehspehl, MrObvious LjL aight gotchya, i thought my computer would run faster [20:16] _MrPink2007_: /msg ubotu font [20:16] pvl1: your ram is iles faster than your hdd. [20:16] pvl1, *swap* is slower (much, much, MUCH slower) than *RAM* [20:17] Did you want your idle programs to use more swap pvl1 ? === Flare183_ is now known as Flare183 [20:17] pvl1: If you need more RAM then get some. IDK what kind of system you have but if it uses DDR2 you can probably get 4GB for about 50 bucks of some good RAM (Crucial Ballistix) on newegg.com last I checked. [20:17] mouseboyx: now don't get him to touch swappiness... [20:18] brobostigon: units says "You have: iles -- Unknown unit 'iles'" === pete__ is now known as cbx33 [20:18] does anyone know if ubuntu is suppose to come without kernel modules? Or do I have to manually create them somehow, after the installation? [20:18] * MrObvious drops a needle. *Ping* [20:18] mouseboyx, im not sure if it was before or after i reinstalled but i did change it. would that make my computer more effecient? [20:18] ramdum, ubuntu comes with a pretty hefty lot of kernel modules. [20:19] pvl1: have a look here: http://news.softpedia.com/news/Optimize-Ubuntu-Feisty-Fawn-for-Speed-53836.shtml [20:19] No. [20:19] MrObvious, i got a really old nd crappy computer. with 4 ddr's i got like 502 mb [20:19] when i start up i get error that there are no modules [20:19] pvl1: most of the advice will apply to gutsy [20:19] when looking in /lib/modules i only find old ones [20:19] soundray, thanks [20:19] I have found the solution to people's wireless card problems! http://www.newegg.com/Product/ShowImage.aspx?Image=12-117-538-01.jpg%2c12-117-538-02.jpg%2c12-117-538-03.jpg%2c12-117-538-04.jpg&S7ImageFlag=0&Depa=5&Description=GENERIC+10X8-218TH+1000+ft.+Network+Cable [20:19] pvl1: Wow lol. Still unless you use some huge memory programs 512MB of RAM is plenty on Linux I've found. [20:19] Anyone know about Wine or can tell me how to downgrade? I've asked twice with no response. [20:20] !customubuntu [20:20] Sorry, I don't know anything about customubuntu - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [20:20] !cutomizingubuntu [20:20] NoNameTheMighty: are you using the budgetdedicated repository? [20:20] cherva: don't fish with the bot, just ask a question [20:21] MrObvious, i know it runs fine, but like im having random new problems recently with opengl games that i havent had last week. so i just figured i might as well upgrade. uneless i can just get a new computer. il just donate this one or what not [20:21] soundray, I don't know what that means [20:21] I created a launcher on Ubuntu 7.04 linux desktop and when I click it no thing happens [20:21] cherva: or have a look here: http://news.softpedia.com/news/Optimize-Ubuntu-Feisty-Fawn-for-Speed-53836.shtml [20:21] soundray: Will those tweaks work on Gusty 64 bit? [20:21] after upgrading everythng I am with a kernel 2.6.23.11 which doesnt load the modules of /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic [20:21] try here for wine support http://www.winehq.org/site/irc [20:21] ramdum, then the update failed. how did you update exactly? [20:21] it is a file for Iseries Access on Linux [20:21] ramdum: That's why you don't compile a kernel unless you know what you're doing with modules. [20:21] soundray, actually, I might know what it means...but I don't know [20:21] with adept updater [20:22] ramdum: on gutsy...? [20:22] NoNameTheMighty: there is a repository that has more recent versions of wine than Ubuntu: http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/ [20:22] i didnt compile, the original kernel doesnt load them [20:22] gutsy yes [20:22] soundray, oh, no, I don't think so [20:22] NoNameTheMighty: if you are having trouble with the latest ubuntu one, I suggest trying to upgrade first [20:22] !info linux | ramdum [20:22] ramdum: linux (source: linux-meta): Generic complete Linux kernel.. In component restricted, is optional. Version 2.6.22.14.21 (gutsy), package size 24 kB, installed size 52 kB [20:22] ramdum: Where did you get the .23 kernel? You must have enabled some third party repo. that has it because I can't upgrade. [20:23] ramdum: as you can see gutsy does *not* have kernel 2.6.23 [20:23] Wow 52kB for the kernel? That's tiny! [20:23] hmm [20:23] MrObvious: they will work, but may not make as much of a difference [20:23] soundray, what I would really like is to downgrade to the one I was using before I upgraded this morning [20:23] ramdum: pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list (although it's probably too late now anyway) [20:23] Its purly genric [20:23] soundray: I might try it just for kicks and giggles. [20:24] i have 2.6.23.11 in debian on another partition [20:24] NoNameTheMighty: did you get that from the ubuntu repository? [20:24] Hey all, I'm not having much luck getting a Dell laser printer to work under Ubuntu Server 7.04 using CUPS- also having quite a bit of trouble finding documentation. Under http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Dell-1700 I'm told that the best driver would be PCL6... no luck in finding out how to install that and use it :/ [20:24] soundray, yes [20:24] what about kernel compilation in gutsy? === jd_ is now known as linuxpoet [20:24] What's up with the Floodbots? [20:24] :\ [20:24] http://www.howtoforge.com/kernel_compilation_ubuntu [20:24] ?

[20:25] i followed this guide to copile new kernel [20:25] can comeone tell me a good way to customizing an ubuntu live cd I need to add skype, mplayer, flash for firefox, the updates and ubuntu-restricted-extras [20:25] LjL: Oh didn't see that. [20:25] but i get error 15: /boot/vmlinuz not found [20:25] hello i'm having trouble with my sound and whenever I try to adjust the volume I get The volume control did not find any elements and/or devices to control. This means either that you don't have the right GStreamer plugins installed, or that you don't have a sound card configured. [20:25] You can remove the volume control from the panel by right-clicking the speaker icon on the panel and selecting "Remove From Panel" from the menu. [20:25] LjL: Why is it necessary to have 3 of them? [20:25] ramdum: eh? so first you said that you obtained this new kernel from *adept*, now you're saying that you compiled it yourself...? [20:25] Cpudan80: -ops please [20:25] i did that as well LjL [20:25] soundray: What are you talking about? Those tweaks? [20:25] LjL - k [20:26] i have no idea why uname -r says 2.6.23 [20:26] Cpudan80: because sometimes one of them breaks [20:26] NoNameTheMighty: in that case, downgrading can be hairy. Still, you might have a go: do a 'cd /var/cache/apt/archives' and check whether the version you want is there: "ls wine*" [20:26] i never compiled such a kernel [20:26] -help [20:26] Does anyone know if it's possible to let GRUB scan for installed operating systems?? [20:26] !ask | biouser [20:26] Flare183: Ok well I was just wondering if there was some other reason [20:26] biouser: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [20:26] NoNameTheMighty: then you force a downgrade with 'sudo dpkg -i --force-downgrade wine_[version].deb' [20:26] soundray: NoNameTheMighty: is installing another package or just sources frowned upon?

I would like to downgrade it back to 0.9.53. Force Version in Synaptic only gives me the choice to go back to 0.9.46. [20:28] dehspehl: repos from trustworthy people like the wine developers who provide ubuntu-specific packages are fine IMO [20:28] NoNameTheMighty: I've heard from a few people that Warcraft hasn't been working properly today.

[21:22] emma: In linux, everything you have configured, stored or changed as a user is stored in your home directory [21:22] magnetron, crdlb, ikaruga3001, thanks :) [21:22] emma: when you copy it to the CD/copy it back it may not have the right permissions [21:22] pipatron - Is that so? [21:22] emma: Like, "/home/emma". [21:22] tobias_: search google for linux and supported tv cards ... if linux supports it, ubuntu will too [21:22] emma, you can also copy /home contents to a USB drive if your /home isn't too big [21:23] Shinma. I see, but I can overcome that as a super user right? [21:23] emma: Don't forget all the "dotfiles" [21:23] emma: yeah its simple, just when you copy it back over, make sure you chown it to emma (or your username), and chmod it for writing [21:23] Oh yeah the dotfiles.

[21:28] soundray: ive tried making sure DPMS is enabled in my xorg.conf as well as setting the Off option in it [21:29] no [21:29] it doesnt freeze [21:29] Montego: Montego preferences > keyboard shortcuts, there's an entry for "Launch calculator" [21:29] Try and find your chipset then b [21:29] By looking at old webpages that show your dell model [21:29] jack-desktop: I think you can use apt-get with a parameter for downloading the package only but I'd have to look.

[21:40] hanophix33: The best way (off of a really good cell phone forum) is to let it fully run down three times, then charge it to 100% each time, then don't let it run down all the way.

[22:24] not everything looks good though, so maybe greasemonkey has something better to offer [22:24] Nikos; if a user is not in admin group he does not have sudo rights [22:24] im having serious problems [22:24] BenderUnit22: not satisfied, but progress :-) [22:24] goodmorning all [22:24] !ask | meoblast001 [22:24] meoblast001: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [22:24] furiousphil> http://blog.linuxconfig.org/disable-terminal-bell-debian-ubuntu/ this maybe? [22:24] so that why in the install propcess ubuntu never asked me to define a root password [22:24] Nikos: an error message is printed ("user is not in sudoers") [22:24] installing kubuntu-desktop after xubuntu-desktop results is a spatter of kubuntu programs in the xubuntu menus. To where should I direct a bug report? x, k, or the united nations? [22:24] !root > Nikos [22:24] furiousphil> i don't know much about Xubuntu [22:24] but it only have sked me for password for user 'nik' [22:24] is there a way to use pidgin to communicate with MSN? [22:24] Nikos; exactly root does not have a password the admin group grants root rights. [22:24] Ayabara: you might also want to investigate FF's userContent.css (Google to the rescue). [22:25] i have a PS3 that runs fiesty and a laptop that runs gutsy..... on my laptop, dgen works perfect..... but on my PS3, the SDL screen (window or fullscreen) appears, and then i get a segfault [22:25] nikos: sudo has a general theory. If the admin trusts you to have root access, you type YOUR password to prove that it's you, and you get the access. [22:25] Nikos: you can set a password for root afterwards if you like [22:25] can anyone help me with this? [22:25] i followed a turoial on how to make ubuntu look like a mac, after which i have been getting messages just after grub about how i entered an invalid number or something.... CAN ANYONE HELP!! PLEASE!!! [22:25] Would anyone know how to go about unpacking/decompressing .lzm files? I have attempted to use lzm2dir in terminal only to be told the command does not exist.

It's just a matter of what you install and configure. [22:43] mhrnjad: i've already do that, but with no success... [22:43] but i can do that? [22:43] mainr30: LAMP is apache, mysql and PHP (and maybe phpmyadmin) [22:43] ikaruga3001: chmod aint correct i think [22:43] hrm, question, on installation how do I setup a mirror of the first 2 disks so that if one disk fails the boot system wont fail [22:43] so if i install LAMP server when i install ubuntu server i can install SAMBA too?

[22:45] snikker: here's another approach, open /usr/lib/vmware/lib/wrapper-gtk24.sh [22:45] ikaruga3001: i tried, it gave me u+rxw : no such file or directory [22:46] `X-TREME: to install that file, you have to run it as root. If it's malware, it can do anything. [22:46] proxz: what was the exact command that you typed? [22:46] hi, anybody knows how to start a script at startup not as root ? [22:46] <`X-TREME> but I got it from the official ati website, what are the chances of that? [22:46] `X-TREME: which is why using the restricted drivers is better. [22:46] sugaryeti24: have tried googling for joost + ubuntu? [22:46] `X-TREME: That's probably good enough, but the restricted driver icon is better. [22:46] <`X-TREME> Wht are restricted drivers? [22:47] rendero: after you login to the desktop or before? [22:47] rendero: add a call to it in /etc/rc.local for example [22:47] rendero: "at startup" of what? [22:47] <`X-TREME> Sorry i'm completely new to this [22:47] ikaruga3001: yes, but the only instructions are for 7.04 and an older edition of wine [22:47] snikker: in the vm_run() function add the following line "export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libdbus-1.so.3:$LD_PRELOAD" [22:47] rendero: make an init.d script, and in it write things like su UNPRIVILEGED_USER_NAME do something. [22:47] erUSUL, but it will run as root [22:47] `X-TREME: is a program that will install and configure the drivers for you [22:47] <`X-TREME> Where do I get that from? [22:47] ikaruga3001: i'm just curious is ubuntu works with wine and joost since both have been updated, the previous instructions required a lengthy recompile of WINE [22:47] snikker: which linux are you running? [22:47] BenderUnit22, after boot pc [22:47] proxz: sorry... i apologize for wasting your time ... i gave you the wrong commands [22:48] `X-TREME: Go to the menu System>Admin>Restricted Drivers [22:48] Hi what is the deal with not being able to get restricted codecs such as flash, libdvdcss, xine-lib, libxinel? This is very discouraging ubuntu is great but having to wrestle with codecs is a pain will this ever be fixed? [22:48] mhrnjad: i've tryed also that, but nothing to do... i'm running kubuntu on amd64 machine... [22:48] proxz: you first have to use chmod to give yourself ownership: sudo chmod [22:48] rendero: is it a user script meant to start up with your X session? Or a system script that ought to run earlier on? [22:48] kubuntu 7.10? [22:48] mhrnjad: yes 7.10 [22:48] proxz: then give yourself read/write/exec permissions sudo chown u+rwx [22:48] <`X-TREME> ok and then? it says ATI Accelerated graphics driver - not in use [22:48] KingD: stupid USA laws (patents) [22:49] rendero: repeat: use 'su' command in a standard /etc/init.d script to run something as a less privileged user. [22:49] proxz: that should do it ... i just double checked on my machine [22:49] BenderUnit22, X does not matter [22:49] `X-TREME: click the box to tell it to use it. [22:49] `X-TREME: mark the driver to be in use [22:49] bim, may be su is the correct, do you have an example ? [22:49] <`X-TREME> When I try to enable it, it says "The software source for this package xorg-driver-fglrc is not enabled" [22:49] rendero: just wondered about the desired timing. bims tip might be your best bet. [22:49] ikaruga3001: no worries, im even wastin yours as i needed to run afk to take my daughter there :P [22:49] BenderUnit22, yes [22:49] erUSUL: can't ubuntu by the rights to use the codecs? [22:50] buy [22:50] `X-TREME: go to system>Admin>Software Sources and mark all the check boxes in the first tab [22:50] <`X-TREME> ok [22:50] ikaruga3001: does that command include subfolders and files ? [22:50] KingD, "ubuntu"? [22:50] mhrnjad: it worked on 7.10, but after the update of some packages it don't work... [22:50] yes [22:50] ikaruga3001: "those commands" [22:50] proxz: good question [22:50] KingD, what do you mean by "ubuntu"? [22:50] snikker: I see.. [22:50] proxz: tack on a -R to both [22:50] ikaruga3001: ok [22:50] rendero: um, please read 'man su'. A typical example would be su someuser -c "unprivilege command&" [22:50] the founder of ubuntu [22:50] proxz: sudo chown -R etc. [22:50] ok bim thx [22:51] KingD, right so mr shuttleworth... so you want him to buy *unlimited* distribution rights? [22:51] does anyone use dgen? [22:51] KingD: every individual ubuntu user would have to buy that rights. And btw they are already given away a OS and thousans of programs do you as them to buy you the codecs too??? [22:51] or have a powerpc based system [22:51] <`X-TREME> erUSUL - Alright I did that; it downlaoded and now has finished downlaoding [22:51] or know how i can install i386 debs on a Cell Broadband Engine?

[23:16] when i think of server i think of something pertaining to the internet so i was just wondering [23:16] RequinB4, boot a knoppix CD. it talks to everything. [23:16] k1dugar: well try gpart... i'm afraid that the LUKS partition may confuse these kind of tools... [23:17] PriceChild: when i first installed it it looked fine, but now it's really blue and i can't get it back with the controls at the bottom [23:17] I have PHP My Admin and i chance the Password insite the mysql database and also in the Config and now i canðt loggin. Can somone help me with this? [23:17] X-TREME, the X server owns the display, and X clients talk to it to get things displayed. [23:17] bim - knoppix doesn't boot... [23:17] k1dugar: that's all i can offer what you've done to the disk is very destructive.... [23:17] bastid_raZor: I've ready somewhere that one should creat a swap partition that's twice the size of the available ram mem. is that so? [23:17] BenderUnit22: changed the font, dot size, and still the panel and icons are staying massive [23:17] porcho: depends on how much you have [23:17] VvWolverinevV, no idea sorry. [23:17] porcho; no.. 1GB of swap is plenty.. a rule of thumb is your swap should be the same size as your RAM [23:17] can I do an NFS mount on /media/sd** from another box on my LAN ? [23:18] RequinB4, I'm really impressed. I thought knoppix could boot anything except a ford taurus. Sorry, all I can recommend is putting your hard drive into some other system and performing surgery there. [23:18] Kodge: what I don't get is your panel staying massive. Surely you can resize it to some sane value, no? [23:18] is there anyone available who could help me understand why i can't build apache from source? [23:18] Kodge: I thought it was only the icons retaining their size in a smaller panel... [23:18] nomopofomo: apache what? [23:18] 2.2.8 [23:18] nomasteryoda, why from source, and there is an #apache channel [23:18] I have PHP My Admin and i chance the Password insite the mysql database and also in the Config and now i canðt loggin. Can somone help me with this? [23:18] erUSUL: I've got 2 gigs ram...so according to what bastid_raZor says, I should reserve 2 gigs as swap space... [23:18] bim - yeah, i've been working on this for a few months now [23:18] nomopofomo, what happens when you try? [23:18] ciao [23:18] hi guys still doesn't work [23:18] I have PHP My Admin and i chance the Password insite the mysql database and also in the Config and now i canðt loggin. Can somone help me with this? [23:19] BenderUnit22: That I can do, however the behemoth icons stay massive, and my windows that I have open like stack really small..ly next to each other, I can take a screenshot of this if you like, if it makes things easier? [23:19] avrei un problema riguardo il server x [23:19] bim: it fails right when the c compiler is about to start doing it's thing and then tells me to check the configuration file [23:19] porcho: that's a sane amount that way you can suspend to disk [23:19] Okay, someone please? I want to format the flash drive but cannot figure it out. [23:19] chi mi può aiutare? [23:19] !it | mrbb [23:19] mrbb: Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! [23:19] mohbana, I'm stumped. [23:19] porcho; you don't 'have' to.. that is the norm though. [23:19] nomopofomo, did you run ./configure? [23:19] DJ_Danni - have you used command line with MySQL before ? [23:19] BenderUnit22: Oh wait, it's capped itself at 33 pixels, I can't go any lower, only higher [23:19] That's odd. :): [23:19] bim, do i need to restart or just restart x? as in Ctrl+alt+backspace [23:19] Kodge: try opening gconf-editor. [23:20] mohbana, usually the later, but if stumped you might as well try the former. [23:20] bim: checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables is the last thing it says when i run ./configure [23:20] bim: erUSUL: ubotu: Im running gpart now. I think there is very less hope to recovery anything. I have to reinstall this BOX [23:20] BenderUnit22: Ok, what do I do from here? [23:20] martyn what command? [23:20] can I do an NFS mount on /media/sd** from another box on my LAN ? [23:20] Navigate to Apps->Panel... [23:20] bim - do you think i should try DSL? know any good text-only kernels i can boot [23:20] Kodge: lost it, just a sec. :) [23:20] wolferine, yes? [23:21] bim, can you go here the first post is exactly what i was getting until i installed of the alternate cd once i did that after install the same thing happened until i reverted back to the vesa driver [23:21] nomopofomo, it drops files that contain the detailed log of the problems. Chances are you need to install 7 or 8 'dev' packages. [23:21] bim, http://fixunix.com/ubuntu/327727-nvidia-8800-gts-ubuntu.html [23:21] PriceChild, k, thanks [23:21] opening a terminal program and starting mysql by typing mysql -u [user] -p ? [23:21] RequinB4, you can boot ubuntu to text only? [23:21] BenderUnit22: sure take your time mate, im just happy ive got someone to help me tackle this near impossible challenge :D [23:21] bim: where would i find the log? [23:21] DJ_Danni - rather than using a front end? [23:21] bim: erUSUL: ubotu: Please let me know if there is anyother tools to recovery testdisk, gpart and anyother?? [23:21] mohbana, Like I said, this is at the point where I have to duck in favor of people who (hopefully) have a better clue. [23:22] bim: the only file that appears to be a log file is config.log [23:22] Kodge: don't get your hopes up. :/ I meant directing you to apps->panel->default_setup->toplevels->bottom_panel [23:22] ok im gonna post again [23:22] thanks [23:22] nomopofomo, look in the bottom of config.log. [23:22] dru, I'm sorry I don't know what to do. Googling your problems lets me see other people with the same problems yet no solution. [23:22] Kodge: click on that and check if you can modify the value of size. [23:22] dru, most seem to be affecting people that have recompiled alsa themselves. [23:22] http://www.pastebin.ca/873925 NFS issues [23:22] My home folder is 24.9 GB and that's much bigger than a CD. I wanted to save my home folder so that I could reinstall Ubuntu and save everything. Is there a solution? [23:22] nomopofomo, in order to get all the common utilities to compile C or C++ source code, install "build-essential". What do you want to compile? And why? [23:22] k1dugar, if you really overwrote the data, and I expect that you did, you are beyond help unless you have a time machien. [23:22] bim: the last thing in the log is "configure: exit 1" [23:23] pricechild: i downloaded everything in also when i searched it in the synapic [23:23] emma: bzip2? 7zip? [23:23] alsa* [23:23] PriceChild - long story short, "moniter out of range" error appears after (appearing to be) any gfx program loads. After trying boot options on live CD, i get alt CD which works fine except my HDD needs to be fsck'd, which i need a shell to do [23:23] nomopofomo, what's the next to last thing. [23:23] if anyone has any idea on what to do please help, my problem; hi, what do i have to do to get my nvidia 8800gts to work. My situation is exactly the same as this person described in the first post (http://fixunix.com/ubuntu/327727-nvidia-8800-gts-ubuntu.html), i had to install it via the alternate cd now ive done that my monitor resolution is very low. Infact i had the same problem as the live cd, but this site after like 30 secs/1 Minute [23:23] i was preseted with a dialog saying that i should change my settings in order to boot into x. My monitor isn't detected either. PLEASE HELP, i feel like giving up [23:23] BenderUnit22: I can edit it, its currently at 24 [23:23] bim: i have just written by 50MB of image file [23:23] martyn the command dose not woork [23:23] BenderUnit22: Ill let you know the results [23:23] bim: so i think rest of the data should be there [23:23] Kodge: eager hearing 'bout it. :) [23:23] k1dugar, 50MB is plenty of data to turn your root file system into pudding. [23:24] bim: target_vendor='pc' [23:24] vocx: i'm trying to install apache [23:24] vocx: the latest version [23:24] DJ_Danni - by that, do you get an error message? [23:24] !pm | VvWolverinevV [23:24] VvWolverinevV: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit AND help you. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude. [23:24] erUSUL: bastid_raZor: right... [23:24] BenderUnit22: No matter what number value I change, nothing happens on the panel :S [23:24] nomopofomo, if you read up far enough, you will see it report a failing command. [23:24] is it a default for /home to be a separate partition? [23:24] Command not found [23:24] emma, no, but a good idea [23:24] I have a small shell script I use to launch mplayer with some options. Anyone know how I can check for file extension in such a script? [23:24] http://www.pastebin.ca/873925 NFS issues [23:24] bim: but in beginning of disk had boot partition of 131MB [23:25] martyn how do i do that command? [23:25] too bad. If home was a separate partition then I wouldn't have any trouble. [23:25] Change it to 24 and log out / back in again (or kill -HUP `pidof gnome-panel`, though I'm not sure that's enough). [23:25] BenderUnit22: Ill try and change the TOP panel, as this originally was a top panel before I moved it down [23:25] bim: configure failed for srclib/apr [23:25] DJ_Danni - give me 2 mins to boot up other PC that has MySQL on it.... hang on... [23:25] nomopofomo, cd to srclib/apr and run configure, and see what you see there. [23:25] ok [23:25] k1dugar, if you could fix your part table, you'd get that other file system back, yes. [23:26] bim: thanks, will do [23:26] I could really use some help on this - I am TOTALLY lost on this [23:26] k1dugar, there is technology out there. Google forensic disk recovery. [23:26] BenderUnit22: Same story, sweet FA is happening [23:26] I have an Nvidia 5200 Geforce FX PCI graphics card and simply cannot get it to work under Gutsy - please, any help? [23:26] techgeek40, what do you mean, cannot get it to work ? [23:27] Kodge: the values aren't retained in gconf-editor? [23:27] <_snookie> I have a quick question with the install, hoping an admin can help me really quickly [23:27] how would I be able to move the boot folder I have currently under /, to an existing boot partition [23:27] Or are they, without any noticeable effect on the panel? [23:27] when i try to reset to default settings in luvcview, i get these errors: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53609/plain/ does anyone know why? [23:27] BenderUnit22: Hm? [23:27] I installed the drivers - at least I think I did - put the card in - rebooted and it sits at the screen loading scripts (/etc/rc.local) ]OK] and I have to do ALT+F2 to get to a command prompt to put in my user name and password - but I get no "desktop" it's all command lines [23:28] !ask | _snookie [23:28] _snookie: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [23:28] DJ_Danni. Do you know your own user name and password for the MySQL server? (Don't reveal them...) [23:28] The values you changed in gconf-editor -- if you log out and back in again, are they still there, or back to whatever it was (33?)? [23:28] BenderUnit22: I don't understand [23:28] techgeek40, you installed the driver, then inserted the card ? [23:28] I have installed Java jre for amd 64 i think but my frostwire still doesnt work... i click on it and it does nothing... [23:28] BenderUnit22: they persist [23:28] !who | techgeek40 [23:28] techgeek40: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [23:28] I know the card works for on this computer I have triple boot - XP - Vista - Ubunt and the card works with XP and Vista just fine [23:28] http://www.pastebin.ca/873925 NFS issues [23:28] <_snookie> dkbg: move the the boot like this cp -fRp /boot todirecotry then change the /etc/fstab to the correct directory [23:28] martyn i have alrady set the User and pass in the conf and also in phpmyadmin and now i can't login [23:29] _snookie: I think it may be more complex than this though [23:29] jrib: but the panel doesn't seem to obey? [23:29] PriceChild: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53609/plain/ [23:29] BenderUnit22: what are you trying to solve? [23:29] Wolferine: sorry I just saw the msg about using !tab - whatever that means [23:29] VvWolverinevV, no idea === josh__ is now known as josh89 [23:29] techgeek40: what does cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log |grep (EE) show? [23:29] techgeek40, stick with answering the questions asked, this goes alot faster [23:29] jrib: his panel and launchers are oversized. [23:29] Okay [23:30] PriceChild, mind looking at my pastebin ? http://www.pastebin.ca/873925 [23:30] <_snookie> got advice from an admin earlier this week that said to reinstall the os from the install cd, but do not format. I'm currently trying to do this but don't want to loose my 600Gigs of data. The partition disks screen says "finish partitioning and write disks" will this delete anything? [23:30] my nvidia 8800gts is working fine on fedora in that i can get 1680x1050 monitor resolution my monitor is nt even detected on ubuntu [23:30] _snookie: I have two other distros booting from that partition, ubuntu is the only one with its own boot folder because I couldn't force it to use the existing boot partition since it already had files on it. Perhaps I shouldn't be trying to do this [23:30] BenderUnit22: ah, you need to address questions directly to who you are helping then, or you will confuse people like me :) Sorry about that. [23:30] Error: (WW) NVIDIA(0): Error: Unable to find DOS (Enable/Disable output switching) (WW) NVIDIA(0):     file path under /proc/acpi/video.

[23:30] jrib: sorry for the confusion. :) [23:31] techgeek40: remove the () [23:31] Does anyone know how to get frostwire OR limewire to work in ubuntu 64? [23:31] josh89: what happens when you try to use frostwire? [23:31] <_snookie> dkbg: yeah that's not an easy thing, you'll probably have to mess with grub too [23:31] BenderUnit22: Ah well, nevermind ill try and sort it tomorrow, its getting quite late now ( 11:31pm here ) and im really tired. But thanks for your help, you've been really helpful! [23:31] Kibbles: (WW) == warnings are mostly non fatall (EE) errors do explain X no working [23:31] Is using Envy bad?

[23:32] xchat sure has a fat icon down on my kde bar [23:32] martyn test http://www.spacestream.net/phpmyadmin with djdanni and 3234 [23:33] techgeek40: i would think long and hard before following _snookie's advice [23:33] wolferine, Yes, but do you know of it specifically breaking for something other than kernel upgrades? [23:33] hello [23:33] _snookie: well, I'm using the partition to access the kernel images [23:33] wolferine, well I guess you haven't left nfs know that... but what do I know? :) [23:33] <_snookie> dkbg: what other distros you trying to run?

[23:35] bim: erUSUL: ubotu: Thanks for all the help and Information :) [23:35] <_snookie> got advice from an admin earlier this week that said to reinstall the os from the install cd, but do not format.

[23:37] we should make a chuck norris bot. perhaps we shall call him chuckbotu [23:37] _snookie: well its a seperate lun, no?

(Sorry I am really new to Ubuntu) [23:42] <_snookie> venger: so I'm in the partition disks menu and all my partitions were detected and all my software raids. But my raids have to be configured, like, ext3 and / wont this format the drive if I say right changes to disk? [23:42] techgeek40: Which drivers? [23:42] sufferingx: because you're not doing it right. [23:42] For the GeForce 5200 FX PCI graphics card [23:42] its work in fedora term [23:42] sufferingx: and saying "everything" isn't an answer, name something you can't install [23:42] DJ - right - so have you already built your database at all? Are you stuck at first base? [23:43] _snookie: i expect it to run mkfs.ext3 unless someone more keen on reinstallations say otherwise [23:43] sufferingx: then you had the dependencies resolved in Fedora [23:43] Yes she hase the Defult Database. [23:43] techgeek40: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx [23:43] DJ - sudo apt-get install mysql-client [23:43] techgeek40: go to System menu then Administration then Restricted Drivers Manager and tick the enable driver [23:43] Hi there, I'm having trouble with the php5 package. Has anyone else had that problem? [23:43] it should be enabled by default i wuld think(the Nvidia driver) [23:44] Odysseas: The only thing in there is Lucent/Agere linmodem contrller driver [23:44] Which is funny as I don't have a modem on the computer [23:44] hi all has anyone had problems connecting to a WEP wireless network with SKA "Shared Key" ? It works with XP but its not working on Ubuntu when I change the AP to Open it works..I am using Wireless Assistant to connect and I choose the SHARED checkbox [23:44] techgeek40: the modem is probably onboard, you just don't use it. [23:44] _snookie: i didn't catch what lead to the need to reinstall, is it not an option for you to repair things by booting the livecd? [23:44] techgeek40: what does lsmod |grep nvidia show? [23:44] hey guys why isnt anyone talking in the ubuntu-server channel? === Ashfire is now known as Ashfire908 [23:44] She is Installing that [23:44] ok done [23:45] <_snookie> venger: deleted /usr/bin ^ ^ [23:45] Evening all [23:45] <_snookie> venger: repaired it but its never been the same [23:45] Evening. [23:45] DJ - OK - NOW you can use the command line/terminal program. Doesn't look half as pretty but much more powerful. [23:45] Odysseas: nothing - [23:45] _snookie: You're in trouble. You can't quite repair that folder without running into horrible issues later. [23:46] Odysseas: when I type it - at the terminal window - I hit enter and it just taks me right back to richard@desktop [23:46] <_snookie> loke: actually, I did repair it, my python installation was broken and couldn't figure it out, but everything else ran fine [23:46] DJ - use previous posted command - mysql -u [username] -p [23:46] Which are the best nvidia drivers , I'm using an 7300gt [23:46] _snookie: did you have apt/dpkg reinstall all existing packages? [23:46] This is much safer than adding your password to end of that line... [23:46] are there no equalizer plugins for ubuntu/rythmbox? [23:47] <_snookie> venger: yes, apt-get could not reinstall two python programs, an admin earlier this week could not figure it out [23:47] IndyGunFreak: I don't have a modem - the mother board doesn't have it - and in the bios - nothing about modem is listed - that I can be 100% sure of - [23:47] filthpig: As far as I know, Rhythmbox is still lacking an equalizer. [23:47] <---built his computer - no modem - simply onboard nick card [23:47] hi all has anyone had problems connecting to a WEP wireless network with SKA "Shared Key" ? It works with XP but its not working on Ubuntu when I change the AP to Open it works..I am using Wireless Assistant to connect and I choose the SHARED checkbox [23:47] How do I make sure that /dev/dsp is not being used? [23:47] BetaTest: lsof /dev/dsp [23:47] http://www.pastebin.ca/873925 NFS issues [23:47] techgeek40: if you built your computer, then its even more likely you have an onboard modem, and you just didn't put the connections on it. [23:47] hi [23:47] techgee [23:47] anyone know why noone is talking on the ubuntu-server channel? [23:48] techgeek40: i've done that numerous times [23:48] loke then would I lson /dev/dsp to enable? [23:48] martyn dose not woork #1045 - Access denied for user 'djdanni'@'localhost' (using password: YES) [23:48] BetaTest: no. lsof /dev/dsp tells you if anything's using /dev/dsp [23:48] so then why is linux better than windows lol [23:48] _snookie: i'd use this situation as a chance to partion things up where you data is seperate of root. could you not install a non raid drive for an os and use that? [23:49] lsof: WARNING: can't stat() fuseblk file system /media/exharddrive [23:49] Output information may be incomplete. [23:49] ? [23:49] No - there isn't even a connect in the back for it - simply a nic card - no modem - this MB is a P4M900 Micro 775 - [23:49] for innovation windows lags way behind linux [23:49] <_snookie> venger: but than I would have to install it again? I just have to figure out how to make the installer not reformat my raid drisks and only set them up to be software raided [23:50] DJ - only alternative that I am aware of is mysql -u root -p [ENTER] then enter the root password for MySQL (NOT the Ubuntu Linux sudo password). [23:50] techgeek40: you're not listening to a word i'm saying, so there's no reason to continue... but restricted, isn't going to just pick up hardware that isn't present, open a terminal and enter "lspci" and see if your modem is listed there [23:50] _snookie: i was hoping someone would chime in on the reinstall, but if you dont get confirmation that mkfs wont be run you could be screwed [23:50] martyn i have also tryed the root [23:50] Ive got video flickering with all players.... got any ideas? [23:51] judgen: HAve you got the restricted drivers installed, as well as the proper codecs? [23:51] _snookie: i'm guessing your "backup" is your raid setup as opposed to an offline backup [23:51] martyn same error with root [23:51] Any one know if its possible to have a composted desktop with an wacom tablet (with pressure) ? [23:52] http://www.pastebin.ca/873925 NFS issues [23:52] kde chat? [23:52] IndyGunFreak: I am listening - two things: NO modem - that I promise you - this motherboard simply doesn't have one - there is no connection for in the back nor in the bios and even the manual clearly stats no onboard modem [23:52] Second [23:52] DJ - I am really sorry but I cannot help you any further then. I can tell you that the problem is not the PHP myAdmin - it is with the mysql logins. That is where you need to aim your questions... sorry couldn't help further. [23:52] <_snookie> venger: I got it, the install isn't very user friendly with raid. It detected my partitions as raid and then figured out what kind of raid they were. In other words, all the raided drives and their partitions. If I select that I have to change it to "use this drive" and then set the mount point, and then "do not format this drive" [23:52] I did go into the Restricted drivers - the only thing listed is the lucent entry - nothing else [23:52] loke, i am currently using VLC and nvidia-glx-new with working compiz [23:52] Evening [23:52] techgeek40: the only solution I can think of, since the Restricted Drivers Manager doesnt detect your card, is to either download the driver from the NVIDIA site, or sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx and then dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg. This isnt guaranted to work though. [23:52] * IndyGunFreak wanders off to offtopic [23:52] ok thangs [23:52] How's it all going? [23:53] techgeek40: I'd use the nvidia driver from the nvidia site if I were you [23:53] _snookie: sounds good [23:53] Odysseas: i did the sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx - I will then take all the suggestions - including indy's and do the dpkg at the terminal window [23:53] _snookie: i assume you are using the alternate install disk, i haven't even messed with that [23:53] <_snookie> venger: the server install cd [23:54] <_snookie> venger: thanks for your help, I greatly appreciate it [23:54] Odysseas: Okay I will try the driver from the web site - thank you Odysseas and IndyGunFreak [23:54] <---away trying the suggestions [23:54] techgeek40: be sure to read the README file for instructions though [23:54] DJ - read this - might help: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql/171366 [23:55] Will do [23:56] http://www.pastebin.ca/873925 NFS issues [23:56] Hi all!
