[00:00] broken__: I will be here [00:00] Rufus_, I think that 0.6.0 is the latest stable release, which is basically what Ubuntu 7.10 ( Gutsy ) has by default [00:00] Tiikeri^, what is 6715s? [00:00] Jordan_U, they added some plugins and features recently [00:00] unop__ I checked that too. I said no to ext2. [00:00] Rufus_, Stable plugins? [00:01] travisat: wow, ok, thank you :D [00:01] Jordan_U, no idea === random-nickname is now known as less-random [00:01] Stepdir, ahh, errm, IIRC ext3 is just ext2 with journalling included -- that explains why [00:02] unop__ funny because it identify's it as ext2 first line at boot. :-/ [00:02] unop__ my laptop.... Compaq 6715 with 32 bit Sempron [00:02] ext3 can be mounted as ext2 :) backwards compatiability [00:02] Rufus_, If they aren't stable they won't be included in the official Ubuntu repositories, you will likely need to add other repositories to get those features [00:02] Anyone know how to register a channel on freenode? [00:03] Jack_Sparrow, yea didn't fix anything. I tried reinstalling VLC as well.. but nothing :/ [00:03] WeedGrinch, /msg chanserv help [00:03] Stepdir, i'm not sure why that is - but i would include both ext2 and ext3 support into the kernel [00:03] ty [00:03] WeedGrinch: /msg chanserv help register, but you may want to look over http://freenode.net/ploicy.shtml first [00:03] broken__: I have a couple pages of notes.... which card # [00:03] unop_ thx: I did not realise it was called Nautilus :P Anyway, I went to Places, then Computer but I do not see the sda partition (which is called SW_Preload). Do I need to reboot or anything like that? [00:03] Jack_Sparrow, ATI X1950Pro === vix is now known as vix|away [00:03] unop__ I think I will try that. Thanks for the help. [00:03] !away > vix|away [00:04] Tiikeri^, ahh, thats odd -- installing a 64bit OS on a 32bit machine - doesnt make sense, i'd think it was rubbish - but there may be a good reason for doing so [00:04] Jack_Sparrow, Xserver can't configure it by default whenever I do dpk-reconfigure xserver-xorg, it says it cannot detect video hardware. [00:04] giggles, you could try a reboot yes - might be a good idea anyway [00:04] i thought it too but then saw one installation guide that said so at very first line... [00:04] is it possible for gparted to skip the 4kb of bad sectors when resizing? [00:05] broken__: May I assume you have already done this.. sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-generic restricted-manager [00:05] but ill test it soon anyway so... ill let you know did it work :D === mscott is now known as jesuismscott [00:05] ok, let me try. Thank you for all your help. If I am not back here in 20 mins, I'll be in the corner sulking with a wet towel wrapped around my head. [00:05] Jack_Sparrow, I did, yes. [00:05] broken__: IS your xorg posted [00:05] giggles, you'll be ok as long as your cross your fingers and touch wood :) [00:05] Jack_Sparrow, like pastebin? [00:06] is fdisk -l suppost to show the cdrom? [00:06] dn4, no [00:06] Will Hardy Heron's Nautilus have TABS??????????? [00:06] broken__: yes, pastebin.. and did you install fglrx ? [00:06] I did install fglrx [00:06] a MUST [00:06] Let me get a pastebin. [00:06] dn4, fdisk only lists "fixed disks" - and a CD-Rom drive does not fall into this category [00:06] Jack_Sparrow, I mean it was all working before until I decided to get rid of XGL [00:06] !hardy | BioniX [00:06] BioniX: 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 [00:07] BioniX: it kinda already has tabs, in a way... They just don't look like tabs, but they function like them I think. I don't know [00:07] Unicron, thanks [00:07] unop__, thanks [00:07] aha? [00:07] screenshots? [00:07] how do I get tracker to work? tracker-stats says i have 119,249 files indexed, but nothing comes up when i search using tracker-search or the gui tool. [00:07] hey, my Places > Network > Windows Network folder doesn't show my Windows Workgroups any more. Does anyone have any clue how to fix that? [00:07] Why does update manager want to remove my apt-build installed packages when according to apt-cache policy, apt-build has the same priority as the standard repos? [00:08] broken__: What does fglrxinfo show [00:08] fantum13: because they're not whitelisted. [00:08] how do i see what im currently using as a swap partition [00:08] Jack_Sparrow, http://pb.udderweb.com/144 for xorg [00:08] broken__: ok.. [00:08] fantum13: you probably want to file a wishlist bug against update-manager [00:08] Jack_Sparrow, I"ll get a paste of fglrxinfo as well [00:09] crimsun: Do you know where I could get more information about this system? [00:09] broken__: just look to see if it says mesa [00:09] panfist: swapon -s [00:09] Jack_Sparrow, just says opengl [00:09] fantum13: see the update-manager documentation & source [00:09] crimsun: thanks [00:10] anyone had any problems with updating ubuntu 7.4 64bit to 7.10 64bit and not been able to use wireless?

[00:13] broken__: OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc. as long as it does not say mesa instead of ati [00:13] ronny1, sure, you might not experience it but internally yes, the 64bit OS harnesses the full potential of the hardware [00:13] how do I change my default crontab editor ? [00:13] ronny1 depends on your processor :) [00:13] Hi there, I got a problem with the hotkey of my aus laptop, it's not detected never were. [00:14] ronny1: I find the biggest increase is in the amount of ram I can use [00:14] Jack_Sparrow, it says ATI but.. i'll try this new xorg. [00:14] osmosis, EDITOR=nano crontab -e ??

The reboot worked in that the partition now appears in Nautilus. Problem now is that I can't find my data - there are file icons on the screen that disappear when I click on them. How can I check that I have not lost the data? [00:15] So how do i reg it, "it does not exist" [00:16] crimsun: How can I allow myself to locally install packages that also exist on the repositories without update-manager disliking it? [00:16] travisat: i have drive: C:\ and E:\ i want to re-partition C:\ to dual-boot winXP and ubuntu. i a little lost as to how to do so [00:16] am* [00:16] fantum13: don't know, sorry.

I used apt-build on a few things, and then afterwards, update-manager wanted to override them. Its happened before on things I've installed with dpkg manually (in that case it was Piding with SILC support). [00:18] sqush : can u explain ur question.... [00:18] Jack_Sparrow: The versions are the same, if it means anything. [00:18] get envy [00:19] envy seems to install latest graphics drivers so usually fixes most graphics problems [00:19] sqush: did u use the alternate cd.... [00:19] neilwardle2002: BAd idea [00:19] !envy [00:19] envy is not needed or supported.

[01:45] BaKKaR, libapache2-mod-php5 [01:46] can i use restricted drivers with liveCD? [01:46] emma: That is really your choice. NTFS /read/write is quite stable now imo. Just be careful when you name a file. You can put ":" in ubuntu but not in windows. [01:46] fumanchu: will try that now [01:46] bruenig: I tried booting in recovery mode, but it freezes at something like pins, apic etc.... when I try booting with acpi=off it gets stopped at some IRQ stuff [01:46] can ubuntu do full-disk encryption? [01:46] danielski_pl: Have you edited xorg or gone through the restricted modules routine [01:46] Okay I don't think I've ever used : in a file name. I think I might be the only person who still uses _ instead of spaces. [01:46] ConstyXIV: If Debian can, Ubuntu can. [01:46] Recently, GDM seems to be taking several minutes to load. It's outputting this log: http://pastebin.com/d4a126cf2 Does anyone know how to fix this? [01:47] ConstyXIV: You really need to look at the Kernel you are using rather than the 'distro' [01:47] ConstyXIV: I believe that the Ubuntu kernel has support for it though. [01:47] I thouhgt the enctyption was a new feature in gutsy. [01:47] is there anyway to do that fastboot from grub command line? [01:47] But not tried it yet. :) [01:47] Jack_Sparrow: edited xorg, no restricted modules cant see my card anymore if it does it wont start the drivers it just ends up restartin gnome [01:48] emma: I had a big problem with special characters in file names. And for a while a couldn't figure out why I could not open a folder under windows. Learned the lesson the hard way. [01:48] But if someone is that concerned about their security.. they might as well use BSD instead of Ubuntu, but that's another story ;D [01:48] danielski_pl: What video card? [01:48] nVidia 8500GT [01:48] I see. [01:49] danielski_pl: The 8000 series seem to have some problems... All I can suggest is the wiki and read carefully [01:49] tried everything in the wiki [01:50] danielski_pl: You will end up going to nvidia for the drivers and building them.. from what I understand [01:50] done that [01:50] didnt work [01:50] alright, trying to boot from a live cd now [01:50] danielski_pl: I know people running them and they work.. but not plug and play by a long shot [01:50] are there local ubuntu groups?

I don't see ti. [01:51] dm_edge: Have you reboot? [01:52] Odd-rationale:yeah, but /etc/network/ is still empty [01:52] it definitely isn't a bad hard drive, surface scan didn't give any errors [01:52] desteven: unless its new, you could reformat, this is just my opinions though [01:52] Jack_Sparrow: i installed restricted drivers when ubuntu was fresh and they worked perfectly after installing compiz-fusion and screenlets and some ubuntu themes things started to F***k up [01:52] dm_edge: Ok sorry, I gues it didn't work. Just restore the fileback again... [01:52] mnemonica: Hold on one sec [01:52] danielski_pl: If that is where is messed up.. try asking in #Compiz [01:52] danbhfive: the list of "official" local groups is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoTeamList [01:53] Odd-rationale: sure no prob, any other ideas? [01:53] thanks robdig [01:53] dm_edge: Not atm [01:53] their are many files on it which I didn't backup, so can't reformat, maybe I should resize and start moving the files to a new partition on the free space?

[01:56] LibertyShadow: Yeah. Thanks for the help. [01:56] hw to extract a sentences which has a particular word in it ? [01:56] mnemonica: You could also right click on the exe and "Extract here" if you prefer the gui solution [01:56] from a file [01:56] mnemonica: but what you are looking for is in the "DRIVER" directory [01:56] mnemonica: np [01:57] mnemonica: good luck [01:57] Q: is there a command line image viewer?

[01:58] I dunno... Check the /etc/ssh/ssh_config if compression is on [01:58] I wanna a cheap Linux Kernal laptop, can anyone give me some advices? [01:59] d33d: compression is only good for weak links between fast computers [01:59] speedcore, I think i just figured it out. [01:59] d33d: what was the problem?

Well, I guess I have to set my dns server to the firewall ip. and it works just fine ---- kinda. [02:02] Some guy said that the function of EEE is not enough. [02:02] I want an Asus eee - but im finding full laptops in a similer price range now a days. :) [02:02] But i dont have $300 anyway. heh.

[02:02] speedcore, course it just slowed way down again. Dangit -- just doing a sudo apt-get upgrade....weird maybe a reboot is needed.

The unfortunate thing about Ubuntu's package-based distribution system is that it's hard for inexperienced users (and a hassle for experienced users) to go past the versions in the repositories. [02:56] Malaz: And the maintainers can't upgrade versions frivolously at the risk of breaking other stuff. [02:56] It's a tough balance to strike.

You will experience horrible compatibility issues with Flash in 64bit, though. I recommend sticking with 32bit. [02:58] Tonren: starcon 2 is released under the GPL, and has been ported to linux. [02:58] bazhang: Why? [02:58] Cool. Thanks! [02:58] djnet: best place for that is AppDB at winehq.com [02:58] Tonren:ok [02:58] Escape character is '^]'.

[03:32] theaxeman: thanks for the link--that is an awesome site [03:32] erawfish: that's all there is in my world :P [03:32] Falco98: it can pass the turing test imo [03:32] Falco98 are u 10? [03:32] Wrec: edit your menu.lst. that is what grub cares about. but since you changed /boot, you will need to reinstall grub with trub-install too [03:32] Falco98 are u 10 [03:32] what do you mean, fireman?

[03:35] nickrud: because that is where it is, right at the beginning [03:35] erawfish : how to save the config of my ethernets? so that when i restart my ubuntu still my workstation can connect to the server.. thanks [03:35] Noogen: yeah... it worked fine before though [03:35] bazhang: do you happen to know whether that partitioning installer allows a user to choose a different HD to rearrange the partitions on, etc? [03:36] Kalamansi: edit /etc/network/interfaces [03:36] Hammmer: ic, what model? and do you remember what you did to break it? [03:36] the webpage seems to be mildly vague on this point, even though it looks as if the options include this in general [03:36] any help possible with dpkg error? [03:36] erawfish : thanks [03:36] can anyone recommend a good place to look for help on an obscure kernel/driver issue? [03:36] Falco98: though gparted is used on the installer--you might be better off with the gparted live cd for that--just my 2 cents [03:36] twentyafterfour: ##kernel [03:36] Noogen: Radeon Xpress 200m... last thing I did was change some metacity/emerald themes [03:36] ubotu: that's not my problem [03:36] erawfish: thanks [03:36] erawfish: can you be more clear? [03:36] Wrec: in /boot/grub/menu.lst , change #groot= to the correct device [03:36] Wrec: it is. and ubotu is a bot [03:36] jmlane: sudo commands and logins are logged to /var/log/auth.log [03:36] bazhang: oh, use the gparted liveCD and then use the linux installer once it's done?

[03:37] nickrud: since he deleted /boot he also deleted stage 2 of grub [03:37] erawfish: I have found the people in #debian to be quite nice actually--thus suspecting him of trolldom right away [03:37] Noogen: I'm working a K desktop environment installed on the same computer right now... till I get it fixed [03:37] bazhang : ni hao ma? [03:37] erawfish: I have nothing to do with windows [03:37] Wrec: but your problem is the same [03:37] erawfish: he said he copied it over to the /boot partition, he's booting but default is not controlling the boot os. That's what lead me to believe he hadn't changed the groot [03:37] Hammer: would you know which driver you are using? vesa, radeonhd, or ati? [03:38] 你好 Kalamansi [03:38] Falco98 : happy birthday. whats the food and drinks there. any party? [03:38] Wrec: and solving it is done the same way too. your choice if you want to ignore it [03:38] i have food if you bring the beer O:-) [03:38] Noogen: whatever the default restricted driver is... [03:38] how do I restart my window decorator in compiz fusion? it crashed and I have no window controls [03:38] Falco98 : where are you located? [03:38] erawfish: I'll try that if nickrud doesn't help me solve this. They're doing a good job so far. [03:38] south carolina, USA [03:38] for now :-P [03:38] Falco98 : why for now?

[03:39] nickrud: should I get rid of the # before it (I forget if that's the comment character) [03:39] Wrec: no, leave the # [03:39] Falco98 ahh okay [03:39] Kalamansi: moving closer to my girlfriend, for the most part [03:39] !server [03:39] Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server-specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications. Current !LTS version is 6.06. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ServerFaq/ - The #ubuntu-server channel provides specific support [03:39] nickrud: he needs to change those things too of course, no question. but when moving /boot there is a high chance grub files are moved too. which is bad. right now they still might even work cause it'S on the same place on disk right now. but he might soon use the space again and then hi grub files get overwriten (on disk) and grub stops working [03:39] and also closer to better jobs [03:39] nickrud: well, it's set to the correct one on the primary's /boot [03:39] hello, can someone plz help me with installing tar files [03:39] so if stage2 and friends changed sectors on disk. he needs to reinstall grub [03:40] Wrec: after update-grub , run sudo grub-install /dev/hda1 (or sda1 if that's right) [03:40] Falco98 i see. what kind of job you want? i can give you a work tho. [03:40] Falco98 but you are too far from my country [03:40] some sort of IT job.. [03:40] hi everyone. I am looking for a program to sync files from a network drive (samba) to my ubuntu laptop. Sort of like Windows offline files. Any ideas? [03:40] what's your country? [03:40] Noogen: maybe if I were able to set the metacity/emerald stuff back to whatever the defaults were? [03:40] nickrud: I'm not sure what the status of each of the /boots are at this point [03:40] Falco98 i see.. we need linkbuilder, virtual assistant, web master, web dev [03:40] nickrud: did you want me to get rid of the primary's boot [03:41] Falco98 : philippines [03:41] Kalamansi: ah cool [03:41] Falco98 come here [03:41] Falco98 hehe [03:41] Hammer: yes, that could be the issue [03:41] hehe maybe :-P [03:41] offtopic guys [03:41] erawfish: hm, I think we're thinking in the same way, coming from different directions. Wrec no, leave the original /boot , you're going to be mounting the /boot partition over it. Until you have everything working correctly, leave that there as fallback [03:41] Noogen: do you know how I can do that from KDE? [03:41] Kalamansi how do i get my firefox to noticed my java directory ? [03:42] my sound doesn't work since i've installed kubuntu, how do i go about fixing it? [03:42] Wrec: and I don't believe I got sucked into boot on a second partition, I think that's a waste :) [03:42] toc2rta i dont know. i dont use desktop anymore. currently im having problem in CLI [03:42] i was writing a text document and the computer was shut down, is there any way to retrieve this unsaved document? [03:42] Falco98 you know how to filter the download? [03:42] Hammer: i believe it's Menu-> System [03:42] !firewall [03:42] 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). [03:43] um, not sure? [03:43] like what? [03:43] jfkdsljio: not if you never saved [03:43] jfkdsljio: open office may allow you to restore--sometimes it does at least [03:43] Hammer: i forgot, it's one of the menu next to add and remove program [03:43] I'm trying to get a 7-button mouse to work in Ubuntu, but using "xev" it seems only 5 are recognised ... the back/forward buttons are using the same button # as the right-click and middle-click buttons. This is the case no matter how many buttons I tell xorg.conf to look for. any ideas what I could be doing wrong? [03:43] Falco98 like your ubuntu box CLI will auto clean the downloads [03:43] Hammer: i'm in gnome now [03:43] what's the good command-line music player - sox won't play .flac files! [03:43] jeezmos - gl i've tried everything. [03:44] kupesoft: moc [03:44] Noogen: hmm... I can only find the emerald stuff... not metacity [03:44] Wrec: reading back over my instructions, sudo grub-install /dev/hda (or sda) not hda1 [03:44] oh.. well i'm not familiar enough with it yet :-P [03:44] jeezmos - i've only ever got 5 recognized [03:44] it was just gedit [03:44] i dont suppose gedit saves drafts [03:44] jfkdsljio: depends if you had auto save enabled [03:44] Falco98 okay. [03:44] What IRC clients can I can from sudo apt-get? [03:44] lots [03:44] jfkdsljio: then your out of luck [03:44] how about FTP servers? O:-) [03:44] WeedGrinch : sudo apt-get pidgin [03:44] i found it i found it!!!! [03:44] Is pidgin the best? [03:44] IYO [03:44] Falco98 : like file server? [03:44] im so fhappy [03:44] nickrud: k, I"ll try that [03:44] xchat WeedGrinch [03:44] WeedGrinch yes [03:45] everyone luvs pidgin WeedGrinch [03:45] WeedGrinch: i would also suggest the chatzilla firefox extension [03:45] WeedGrinch: not for irc, but pidgin works for everything else [03:45] WeedGrinch all you need there in pidgin [03:45] Wrec: after you do that, I want to kinda examine your system before reboot [03:45] Hammer: post your xorg.conf, use pastebin in the url [03:45] nickrud: alright, what shall I give you [03:45] Falco98 file server? [03:45] Kalamansi: no, FTP server.. just a basic (preferably GUI) server which i can create a few random accounts [03:45] I'll give chatzilla a try [03:45] thanks! [03:45] :) [03:45] <_stink_> i have a dapper install w/ a well entrenched /home directory. i want to install gutsy on a new machine and have it use the /home from the old dapper install via nfs. i'm not worried about the nfs setup, but i am worried that the settings in places like .gnome2 will get screwed up because i'll be running old gnome and new gnome under the same /home. any suggestions? can this work? [03:45] Noogen: alright [03:45] Falco98 : really? how to config? [03:45] so i can login remotely and get files from my PC and network [03:45] Wrec: brb, off for a cigarette. I want /boot/grub/menu.lst , the output of mount , and the /etc/fstab [03:45] falco98 use VNC? [03:46] how do i remove all open source nvidia and non open source nvidia drivers? [03:46] i currently have a windows FTP server set up which allows me to login remotely and download files from myself [03:46] nickrud: I put the /boot on a separate partition because grub error: 18 called for it as a way to fix it. It never worked, but a friend convinced me to keep it out of security. [03:46] WeedGrinch: VNC? [03:46] Falco98 sounds interesting. kindly teach me how to do that ftp server? [03:46] Falco98: use sftp [03:46] !ftp server [03:46] FTP servers: ftpd, proftpd, pure-ftpd, twoftpd, vsftpd, MuddleFTPd, wzdftpd - Graphical front-ends: PureAdmin, GProftpd (for GNOME), KcmPureftpd (for !KDE) - See also !FTP [03:46] Kalamansi: well that's what i'm asking :-P [03:46] don't use ftp [03:46] _stink_: yes that may be a problem [03:46] Falco98 ah so you want to setup ftp? [03:46] ok i just enabled autosave, thats great i didnt know something simple and small like gedit would have an autosave feature, how cool is that [03:46] thanks ubotu ;-) [03:46] (you wascally wobot) [03:46] erawfish : how to setup file server? [03:46] use filezilla for ftp? [03:46] Kalamansi: yep [03:47] brb [03:47] Falco98 i havent try that... [03:47] by installing samba of a nfs server [03:47] <_stink_> astro76: ah, ok. do you know i can point gnome to a different place for settings? [03:47] erawfish : CLI or GUI?

[03:47] !cli [03:47] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [03:47] a fileserver is a daemon. neither cli nor gui [03:47] _stink_: I would think the cleaner thing to do would be copy the settings, and then mount your nfs mount somewhere else [03:48] _stink_: ad of course it's not just gnome [03:48] erawfish : which is best?install in gui o cli? [03:48] I have a script-ish question: I'm running ktorrent on another machine, would there be a practical way to have it notify me via some IM method when it finishes a download, and/or periodically with stats ?

[04:05] :) ty gilda [04:05] how do i remove my ssh server? [04:05] bazhang: its not in the repos yet. [04:05] bazhang and erawfish thank you both for your thoughts. and sorry to cause a ruccus in here. i go now. [04:05] micromegas: get xchat ;] [04:05] i t always screws [04:05] new question: can i set up a dual-boot situation with my current XP installation on the primary HDD, and ubuntu on a secondary HDD? [04:05] get irssi :P [04:05] oaky okay :P [04:06] my ssh server sucks it stops responding how do i remove it [04:06] ogre: for gutsy? vmware-server? you sure on that? [04:06] Falco98: yes [04:06] erawfish: it was working until today with the linux-header update [04:06] yes u can Falco98 [04:06] micromegas: /ignore #ubuntu joins quits parts? [04:06] Falco98; yes [04:06] but i guess xchat will have all that random text too... [04:06] hey guys got a question about belkin routers; do they have a loopback function?

[04:06] my ssh server sucks it stops responding how do i remove it [04:06] brb [04:06] yup [04:06] i guess it just reconfigures the boot part on the main booting HDD either way? [04:06] Falco98: yes. grub is smart [04:06] cool [04:06] thanx :-P [04:06] erawfish: I'm not sure I have any madwifi drivers to begin with O.O [04:07] Wrec: a rule of thumb: when you compile something for your kernel, you have to recompile for each kernel upgrade [04:07] hey, does anybody have some time for some reinstall help? [04:07] Falco98: no. it only reconfigures that when you tell it to. if you don't tell it to do it, your ubuntu just won't load [04:07] how do i remove my ssh server? [04:07] bazhang: im not seeing it at all. im just typing in vmware in synaptic and nothing comes up [04:07] help me [04:07] ogre: you must not have the correct repos enabled--I just dl'd it a few days ago and it is brilliant [04:07] !repeat | SANTAbios [04:07] SANTAbios: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you.

[04:08] Hammer: sorry, i also do not know how to start that from terminal *if it exist*. Also, you have the infamous ati 200m video card . What I can suggest next is? 1. Check your xorg.0.log for any error. 2. Tweak your xorg.conf options such as disable composite. 3. check for driver update if all else failed? [04:08] SANTAbios: ssh is not ssh-server. different things [04:08] erawfish: I must have them then because I"m using my wifi with that device right now [04:08] Wrec: you must have at some time, to use the madwifi drivers.

[04:08] nickrud: I have no. idea. haha [04:08] ogre must be canonical gutsy partner then [04:08] bazhang: thats what i was saying [04:08] Wrec: ndiswrapper is the other choice. but let's not go there. so why are you asking about it if it works? [04:08] Wrec, what is your wireless issue if ur using it right now [04:09] bazhang: i believe i have that repo enabled as well [04:09] add deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu gutsy partner to your sources.list, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install vmware-server ogre [04:09] yeah, it's in the partner [04:09] ogre I have that enabled and just got it via apt-get [04:09] SANTAbios: sudo apt-get remove openssh-server [04:09] erawfish: my wireless issue only occurs in the new kernel. I'm using feisty's kernel right now, actually. The 2nd to most recent kernel gave me grub errors that I spent entire weekends trying to fix. [04:09] nickrud: bazhang: thank you [04:10] ogre it is super easy to setup--just need to go to www.vmware.com and get the free registration key [04:10] how would I check if I'm using hte madwifi drivers [04:10] Wrec: lsmod |grep ath [04:10] Wrec, one of the things that u need to make sure u have installed with the new kernel is the kernel headers and then u should be able to just modprobe ath_pci [04:10] and go from there [04:10] or if any of your interfaces is named ath [04:10] has anyone experienced any othe r compatibility issues with ubuntu x86_64 other than the macromedia flash issues ?

[04:19] tofaffy, has a good suggestion, or, use dpkg with the force flag [04:19] normally m-a does this, however ubuntu prefers to ship restricted debs. if they do that they have to live with the consequences or stuff breaks. like Wrec's [04:19] Starnestommy, that's better :) [04:19] erawfish: thanks for the help, I'll be back tomorrow [04:19] i cant figure it out, other machine seems to have same files but still wont play dvd. beginning to piss me off.

Is there any easy way to make home part of the / filesystem? i figured that i can enable and log in a root in a terminal and just unmount /home make another dir for it and remove it from fstab but i'm thinking there is an easier way.

[04:21] my ubuntu server often freezes connection (all protocols: ssh, www, svn...) after few minutes, if I want to reconnect, just give him a ping then it works fine. What do you guys think about this? It's quite annoying [04:21] erawfish: I didn't realize madwifi was in restricted, usually people that miss out on restricted don't have linux-generic installed. That will pull in restricted modules and ubuntu-backported modules [04:22] I just installed Linux with ubuntu distribution... it's marvellous [04:22] :) [04:22] Glad to hear ya like it [04:22] yay [04:22] so it attracted me to contribute in it. [04:22] mudassar, have you installed beryl? [04:22] Yes, Ubuntu is wonderful and surely an eye opener. [04:22] Is there some more clever way to completely remove Evolution than going into Synaptic and marking for removal everything with "evolution" in the name? [04:22] I have made it like MAC OSX Leopard [04:22] Nice [04:23] hello can I just installed Alsa from source (i NEED to -- my sound card isn't well supported by the repo version) and I think the module isn't being loaded properly. No sound devices are being detected. Can someone help me ensure the ALSA module is loaded ? [04:23] nickrud, madwifi has a binary layer in a subdirectory. There's a project to replace it with an open source layer, but Atheros sicked lawyers on them and slowed them down. [04:23] I marked just "evolution" for Complete Removal but there are still other packages that seem to be part of evalution that are not marked for removal.

[04:29] thanks for the tutorial [04:29] gigamonkey: that's just a terminal emulator [04:30] I will start reading and practicing it [04:30] sethk: I just tried a Windows XP CD to see if it would boot, it wouldn't. [04:30] jw144000, from what you described earlier you were in the live cd [04:30] zelrikriando: there's no real reason to remove totem-gstreamer , you could replace it with totem-xine . And I don't see where removing totem-gstreamer would affect vlc anyway [04:30] gnome terminal gigamonkey is part of the ubuntu desktop package but it is just a front end for a terminal [04:30] Mudassar: enjoy ;) [04:30] 512 [04:30] I have configured many things in Linux (ubuntu) [04:30] IBM t30, its not 'that' old [04:30] ghost: that's plenty for even ubuntu itself. [04:30] nickrud: ok... [04:30] but I am not able to configure Wifi Wireless Lan and share my internet [04:30] jw144000, ok, then we won't waste time reburning the cd. All the likely things you've already tried, so we are down to unlikely things === dgtl|screen is now known as dgtlchlk [04:30] zelrikriando: seriously, they don't interact at all [04:30] ghost: things like puppy are for 32MB machines [04:31] erawfish, yes, but I don't want to go through the hassle of uninstalling half of ubuntu's features to make a lighter os [04:31] jw144000, if you see firefox click on it you will get to the net [04:31] jw144000, I've occasionally been able to fix this sort of problem by using "load default values" in the BIOS setup. [04:31] jw144000, it's not likely to work, but it shouldn't hurt anything either. [04:31] ghost, starting with the server edition and building your way up can make it a little lighter [04:31] basically i need to customise my kernel and clean up my init scripts but thats to much work [04:31] ghost: but it's still better than puppy for your machine [04:31] jw144000, you may simply have a bad cd drive. They tend to break all at once, not gradually. [04:32] erawfish, or DSL, DSL has a better GUI [04:32] ghost: install debian and do a light install without all the bells and whistles. e.. install a minimal gnome [04:32] gilda: thanks. So how about completely uninstalling Evolution? There seem to be a lot of packages with "evolution" in the name and they don't all get marked for removal when I mark "evolution" for Complete Removal. [04:32] YouKnowMe: those mini distros are all the same. sorta [04:32] erawfish thats what I was thinking [04:32] sethk, I would doubt that if ha can burn the cd in the first place, or did he use a different comp? [04:32] anybody familiar with cairo-dock? [04:32] I would do like a slackware install but without apt- its a dealreaker [04:32] I can't see installing ubuntu unless you want the full desktop. [04:32] nickrud: ok, so you know any other things to try? [04:32] ghost: have you considered xfce/xubuntu ? [04:32] astro76, that was my other idea [04:32] sethk: I'm going to try it on a different comp, brb [04:33] YouKnowMe, I don't know, but everything that breaks worked before it broke. [04:33] jw144000, k [04:33] but does that not still load all the hardware features that i will never use? [04:33] zelrikriando: you need to describe the problem better I think [04:33] ghost: it's really just gnome making your low-specced machine seem slow [04:33] gigamonkey evolution is part of the ubuntu-desktop package and removing all bits and traces of it may tend to throw off things that are built on the backend of it [04:33] sethk, touche :) [04:33] YouKnowMe, so, unless you thing things last forever ... :) [04:33] nickrud: when I open a .ogg file with vlc, I have the colors wrong [04:33] ghost: that's not significant unless kernel memory footprint is an issue, plus many things are loadable kernel modules now anyway [04:33] nickrud: that is too blue or too red... [04:34] gilda: hmmm. anything that I'm likely to care about assuming I don't care about Evolution itself? [04:34] gigamonkey, i am not sure off the top of my head [04:34] we arent all born knowing linux [04:34] * bruenig is glad he was [04:34] anyone here have experience with both ext3 and xfs file systems that would like to recommend one? [04:34] lol [04:34] Anyone know if Kde or Xfce are faster then gnome? [04:35] @usmc138 xfce is faster [04:35] astro76 so maybe then xfce is just the way to go [04:35] flux is usmc138 [04:35] thx [04:35] xfce is for sure, kde is questionable [04:35] usmc138, I like fluxbox [04:35] flux is great [04:35] zozobra, hard to say anything intelligent without knowing how you are going to use it. xfs is in some ways better, but ext3 is more commonly used and is also quite good. [04:35] usmc138, for speed given those choices xfce is faster [04:35] openbox is good [04:35] zelrikriando: are you running compiz? === Jannita is now known as Johanna [04:35] im a linux newb and have tried kde and gnome but not xfce [04:35] ghost: probably, anything but gnome or kde [04:35] gilda: If I do what you just suggested to ghost a few moments ago, about installing a server setup and then adding, rather than a desktop setup and then removing, what am I going to be missing? [04:36] fluxbuntu is very lightweight usmc138 [04:36] ive never heard of flux actually [04:36] astro76, would a conversion be easy? [04:36] #fluxbuntu [04:36] * nickrud read back and thinks bruenig must be a bot, knowing linux since he was born [04:36] @sethk...i plan on setting up a 300GB disk to hold mp3s, dvd ISOs, and 300-600mb video files. [04:36] gigamonkey, initially with the server edition you have nothing but the command line [04:36] gigamonkey, whatever you might be missing can still be installed. [04:36] ghost: sure you can apt-get install xubuntu-desktop from your current system [04:36] Is there any way I can have a certain key combination not be lockable by any app but a specific one, so I can use it to kill an errant task? [04:36] gigamonkey, anything else can be installed [04:36] astro76 probably to many gnome apps already loaded though that will want the glibs? [04:36] gilda: I see. No X at all. No Gnome. [04:36] sethk: I just tried it on another computer and it worked. :/ I never got the menu with "Start or install Ubuntu" on this computer. [04:36] nickrud: yes [04:36] gigamonkey, correct [04:36] But presumably not with Synaptic. ;-) [04:36] zozobra, I'd stay with ext3 in that case. [04:37] jw144000, ok, swap the cd drives between the two machines. [04:37] ghost: not an issue unless you run programs that use those libs... there are instructions available if you want to remove all traces of gnome (or kde) and have the same as a newly installed xubuntu [04:37] well im out, gotta use windows to use my tvtuner [04:37] zelrikriando: ok, video playback and compiz is a tricky issue right now. You should be asking on #compiz-fusion for the latest info on it [04:37] is it true windows vista comes with a packet sniffer installed [04:37] jw144000, meet me in #thischannel ? [04:37] @sethk, would you recommend ext3 over reiserfs or jfs as well for my use? [04:37] link? [04:37] zozobra, only because I haven't used xfs with very large partitions. I don't know that it's a problem, in fact I doubt it, but I can't be sure. [04:37] astro76, is that on the ubuntu wiki? [04:37] zelrikriando: I used to disable compiz to watch movies, right now I don't use it at all [04:37] !purekde | ghost [04:37] ghost: purekde is If you want to remove all !Gnome packages and have a default !Kubuntu system follow the instructions here « https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureKDE » [04:37] zozobra, stay away from reiser; it's trouble. Jfs is also good. [04:38] nickrud: I ll try to disable compiz to check [04:38] zelrikriando: create the file ~/.config/compiz/disable , that should disable compiz on your next login [04:38] nickrud: disabling it didnt fix the issue [04:39] ghost: damnsmalllinux uses apt btw [04:39] erawfish, ok [04:39] zelrikriando: do you get proper color in other media? [04:39] @sethk, is it correct that because jfs is journaled that a power outage will cause major corruption in the file system? [04:39] zelrikriando: or other players? [04:39] zozobra, no, the reverse [04:39] zozobra: journaling systems are better with failures, not worse [04:39] nickrud: opening the same media in MPlayer has the right colors [04:39] !puregnome [04:39] Sorry, I don't know anything about puregnome - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [04:39] Hey I have an issue with mounting SSHFS with /etc/fstab and it says connection reset by peer.. when I use ssh 192.168.0.103 it works tho. (manually) [04:40] any idea [04:40] nickrud: but some other problems appear :) [04:40] zozobra, the purpose of journaling is precisely to recover from such situations. [04:40] zozobra, note, however, the ext3 is also a journaling file system [04:40] zozobra, ext3 is ext2 + journaling [04:40] Hello. [04:40] zelrikriando: do you have the medibuntu repos enabled, or any other third party repository? [04:41] well gigamonkey you would have apt to run synaptic is the front end application for apt / aptitude [04:41] nickrud: I do [04:41] zozobra, especially with such a large drive, you want journaling to prevent fsck from running after a crash and tying up your box for quite a while [04:41] Okay so I'm in need of some basic help [04:41] zelrikriando: me, I would disable those and revert to the ubuntu packages. I only pull libdvdcss and w32codecs from medibuntu directly [04:41] just ask the question [04:42] I am trying to figure out my working :D [04:42] how can i use xming, or cygwin, to log into an ubuntu machine remotely [04:42] *wording [04:42] lxuser, ahhummm let me guess [04:42] lol [04:42] nickrud: how do I do that [04:42] zelrikriando: It reduces the possible sources of problems to known packages === jmlane_ is now known as jmlane [04:42] gilda: Yeah. BTW, is there some reason that apt keeps hanging on rather than being replaced/hidden by aptitude? I thought the latter was supposed to be far better. [04:42] zelrikriando: system->admin->software sources , third party tab [04:43] gigamonkey, preferance ? [04:43] <[-Delta-]> Okay wording: First thing: I'm using a panasonic Toughbook CF-52. Basic problem: my screen is wide screen but boxes and other such things dont use it fully. The desktop background and mouse can go onto the edges but its like there is a invisible barrier. [04:43] gigamonkey: I hear it on impeccable authority that ubuntu is sticking with apt, and is adding functionality that aptitude won't have any time soon. Mostly authentication I hear [04:44] @sethk, thanks a lot for your help! [04:44] I personally like apt. [04:44] * rainwalker hearts apt [04:44] nickrud, isn't aptitude just another apt front end? [04:44] I need to be able to SSH to my home computer using putty on windows while I'm at work. I have set up a nonpriviledged user on my computer with it's own key so my regular key is never stored on my work computer. If I password protect the private key is there any danger of someone getting a hold of it at my work? [04:44] lol ive never used aptitude [04:44] nickrud: so I disable all the medibuntu repos and then what? [04:44] aptitude is the gui package manager? [04:44] nay [04:44] sethk: yes, but it doesn't necessarily use all the methods exposed by the apt libraries [04:44] xGeek: no the GUI package manager is synaptic [04:44] benanzo: since it's encrypted with a password, they wont' be able to do anything with it [04:45] benanzo, unanswerable. If someone can get physical access to a machine, he can get data from it unless the entire file system is encrypted. [04:45] sethk: that is, the new ones. [04:45] * xGeek have never used anything except apt ... I've only used gnome and kde on rare occasions at friends houses [04:45] ubuntu is my server os only :/ [04:45] * gilda uses ubuntu as desktop os [04:46] OK, I was just wondering if it's safe to store the password protected private key on my work computer so I can use it to access my home computer [04:46] xGeek, that doesn't mean you can't run gui applications. You install only the client X libraries (which are very small) on the server, and you use a workstation to be the X server [04:46] zelrikriando: system->admin->synaptic, press the Origin button. [04:46] benanzo, impossible to answer, really. Windows is not known for its defensive prowess [04:46] benanzo, dangerous stuff do they have a privacy banner at work "no expectation of privacy" [04:46] i started using my new removeable drive to store my home movies. but it keeps giving me errors and losing the files.. i fsck it and it had some errors is there a way to get the files back so i font have to redo the whole movie again [04:46] sethk: no one will have physical access to my home computer. I'm just wondering if it's safe to store my password-protected private key on my work computer [04:46] nickrud: the origin button? [04:46] zelrikriando: the ones that are Local/* came from medibuntu [04:46] sethk: like a thin client?\ [04:46] benanzo, the simple thing to do is to type the password and not use the key [04:47] zelrikriando: lower left of the synaptic window [04:47] Hello I tried to install ALSA from source and broke my audio ( I did because my microphone wouldn't work). Now I can't seem to undo what I did. Sudo make unistall wont do. If I use the live CD sound works. How can I fix that please? I ve been looking fo a fix all day. Can someone please help me out? [04:47] benanzo, I meant physical access to your work computer, not home [04:47] nickrud: ok [04:47] cd #debian [04:47] benanzo: hmm I disagree, better to use a key encrypted by a strong passphrae [04:47] macabro22, you can force a reinstall from the repositories. [04:47] zelrikriando: hm, you should go about this another way, I think. [04:47] benanzo, better not connect from work if that concerned [04:48] sethk: ok, let's try that [04:48] i made a mistake when i was upgrading to hardy alpha 4, and decided to keep my pulse.conf. how can i re-install and initialize pulseaudio so this file is re-created properly? [04:48] zelrikriando: big changes remotely are delicate, I wanna do this without breaking things. [04:48] gilda, benanzo, it's fine to connect. Having the private key eliminates typing the password; if you don't mind typing the password you don't need the key. [04:48] sudo dpkg-reconfigure libpulse0 didn't seem to do it. [04:48] is there a way to recover lost files on ext3? [04:48] nickrud: I am listening :) [04:49] difekta: sudo apt-get remove --purge pulseaudo && sudo apt-get install pulseaudio [04:49] zhanx, sometimes, but not a practical way, really. [04:49] sethk: you can have a password with a private key, in fact this is the only safe way to use key authentication [04:49] nickrud thank you. [04:49] hey, its there a boot cd or something to repair mbr? [04:49] i have no concernes with connecting sethk but saying if it was that vital he not have it go out then why set it up [04:49] But if I password protect the key then it's useless without the password. Plus it's only good for a nonpriviledged user on my computer which I can the 'su user' to my normal user once connected [04:49] passwordless private key is a whole different story [04:49] zelrikriando: I'm gonna be off the net in 10 minutes. I will be back on in about 40. OK? [04:49] astro76, I didn't say you can't have a password with a private key. I said you aren't _required_ to have one. [04:49] Does that sound safe at all? [04:49] or am I missing something [04:49] sethk, i dont want to have to redo 3 movies and all the editing so... [04:49] nickrud: :S it s late here [04:50] sethk: I am actually answering benanzo [04:50] question though ;) [04:50] dont do it maaaaaaaaaaaaaaan! [04:50] astro76, and there is absolutely nothing unsafe about the ssh connection where you type the password. The password is not sent in clear text, and it's protected against replay attacks. [04:50] zelrikriando: I'm at work, and heading home in 10. I could be available tomorrow, about 7pm pst [04:50] ? [04:50] I AM IN LOVE! [04:50] astro76, I know, but it isn't true that it's unsafe without the key [04:50] so much faster [04:51] but MAN is xubuntu fugly [04:51] nickrud: ok, I ll try to wait for you tonight [04:51] <[-Delta-]> Ack, I feel retarded, somone help me get the basics set up (VLC, codecs, Resolution setup, wifi ready) [04:51] zhanx, there is little chance if data has since been written to the file system. [04:51] u can tinker it ghost [04:51] zelrikriando: in 40, you mean [04:51] sethk: I never implied any of that but anyway.. [04:51] nickrud: yeah [04:51] gilda yeah I know i was just kinda kidding [04:51] zelrikriando: see you then [04:51] buenas [04:51] zhanx, with video it doesn't do much good to get just pieces of it back. [04:51] sethk, nope i stop as soon as i lost it i know better than to use it [04:51] nickrud: ok [04:51] Hi guys, I am a current mac user and wanted to experience or try out a Linux distro. People have told me that Ubuntu is very popular among new Linux users. [04:51] what is the name of the terminal for x [04:51] astro76, maybe I got the nick wrong, sorry. [04:51] crap [04:51] http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Gutsy [-Delta-] [04:51] o definately by default its fugly ghost [04:51] BioCore: it is, [04:51] so was wondering anyone could tell me which version to download [04:51] <[-Delta-]> Thankies [04:51] ! [04:51] can I install the 64bit [04:52] Basically I want: Password unlocks the key -> Key connect to nonpriv user account -> su username (enter strong password) to change to my regular user with sudo ability [04:52] or do I need the i86 [04:52] Terminal is the name of the terminal in xfce? [04:52] sethk, well i guess i reencode and edit it again thanks [04:52] BioCore: What type of mac do you have? [04:52] BioCore: you should stick with 32bit [04:52] MacBook Pro Intel Core 2 Duo [04:52] oh a mac [04:52] zhanx, ok, then there is a chance. If it's possible you should boot a live cd and do an image backup (with dd) of the partition, of course _without_ mounting it. [04:52] BioCore, stick with 32 bit [04:52] I work with technical people and I'm just a little worried they might try to mess with me [04:52] 32 bit [04:52] BioCore: The 32-bit will be fine, you'll be able to better use some proprietary software (like Adobe Flash) [04:52] ok thanks a lot [04:52] I see [04:52] hi - i am having trouble changing my default sound card to card 1 (as opposed to card 0) in alsa...when i go to sound prefs and change all the playbacks to 'adc' and hit test they work fine...but the system sounds just dont play and mplayer, etc doesn't play sound...please help! [04:52] k thanks [04:52] and also [04:52] benanzo, just don't put the key on the machine, and you don't have anything to worry about. [04:52] hello, how can I download recursively all contents of an URL, I tried with wget with different options like -R -lx .. I get just the index.html file but not the the contents, can someoneone give me advice please? [04:52] BioCore: unless you have lots of RAM (>3.5gb), then you'll need the 64bit version to use it all, [04:53] do the hardwares install properley? [04:53] benanzo: seems like a sound practice to me [04:53] sethk, no can do my removeable is large than my hd [04:53] properly?* [04:53] <[-Delta-]> Depends: libsdl-image1.2 (>= 1.2.5) but it is not installable [04:53] <[-Delta-]> Depends: ttf-dejavu but it is not installable [04:53] <[-Delta-]> E: Broken packages [04:53] <[-Delta-]> Help. [04:53] BioCore: It should detect your hardware and work properly [04:53] i would like to log mysql-bin.00* for 20/30 minutos and then read it by another mysql server... (like benchmarking) how can i do that ? [04:53] BioCore, also as a newbie then you dont have to mess around with the 32 compatibility layers for some stuff if u choose 32 bit vs 64 bit [04:53] kupesoft, do you mean I need to mor ethna 3.5gb to use 64bit? [04:53] [-Delta-]: !paste [04:53] zhanx, sounds like re-editing might be less work than recovering, then. [04:53] moe than* [04:53] sethk: how can I connect to my home then? I don't want to send my password in the clear when authenticating [04:53] !paste [04:53] 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) [04:53] BioCore: If not, come back here and we'll help you out, [04:53] BioCore: (: [04:53] dag i might throw this on my fast notebook' [04:53] k thnxs [04:53] if it does everything the gnome does [04:53] benanzo, an ssh client does _not_ send the password in the clear [04:54] benanzo: the password is not sent in the clear [04:54] (until kde4.1 is out) [04:54] BioCore: No, I'm saying that 32bit only supports about 3.5GB of RAM, if you have more, you need a 64bit OS, [04:54] benanzo: even with out key auth [04:54] * voltheir looking for help changing default sound card... it worked before i did the system upgrades [04:54] benanzo, telnet does, but you aren't using telnet. that's why you use ssh in the first place. [04:54] <[-Delta-]> Tbh, i'm barely see half of this convo due to the messed up resolution and lack of color [04:54] <[-Delta-]> *+ color blind [04:54] sethk: I'm in the Live CD right now (I had to click on wubi-cdboot.exe or whatever it's called to get here, then select "Ubuntu-Linux" at startup). From what I see, the only options I have to install Linux are: "Guided -use entire disk" and "Manual", and like I said, I want to dualboot, I don't want to loose Windows XP [04:54] Okay, this is killing me. Is my problem that apt is more designed for installing things than uninstalling them? Or am I missing something. Now I'm trying to get rid of OpenOffice and there are dozens of packages (it seems) that I need to individually select for removal. [04:54] jw144000, ok, then you use manual. [04:54] gigamonkey: it uninstalls things as easily as it installs them [04:55] ne1 use the new razer sound card? waiting for it in the mail. [04:55] jw144000, I think there's a third option, something like "use unused space" [04:55] gigamonkey, are you using apt-get remove --purge ? [04:55] hello, how can I download recursively all contents of an URL, I tried with wget with different options like -R -lx .. I get just the index.html file but not the the contents, can someoneone give me advice please? [04:55] sethk: I clicked on manual, and now I don't know what to do [04:55] gilda: I'm in Synaptic. [04:55] gigamonkey: apt-get remove openoffice.org\* [04:55] jw144000, first question, do you have empty space? Or do you need to shrink an existing partition? [04:55] But in sshd_config it says: "# Change to no to disable tunnelled clear text passwords" for PasswordAuthentication [04:56] hey I am removing the list of gnomeapps, [04:56] nevermind it started moving [04:56] sethk: I don't have any partitions. [04:56] creeed: wget is good, the site might be blocking it however [04:56] I mean, I have never made any partitions [04:56] benanzo, tunneled is not unencrpyted [04:56] jw144000, if you boot windows, you have at least one partition [04:56] I guess I misunderstood that [04:56] Does xubuntu have a graphical login manager? [04:56] ghost: xubuntu uses gdm [04:56] ghost: Yes, it uses GDM [04:56] ... i just uninstalled it [04:56] has anyone ever experienced video flickering in ubuntu ? [04:56] i can just sudoaptget gdm [04:57] kenalex: Yes, I have. What's your X driver? [04:57] and it will autoconfigure itself? [04:57] !netsplit [04:57] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [04:57] damn splits [04:57] sethk: OK. I apologize, I'm new to this stuff. From the looks of it, I have three partitions. [04:57] kenalex: Do you know what your video driver is? [04:57] Woo net splits [04:57] yay [04:57] jw144000, no need to apologize. [04:57] always a rollercoaster Dessan === suehtnilaP is now known as Palintheus [04:58] Indeed [04:58] kupesoft:i am using the ati fglrx driver [04:58] jw144000, It's likely that all the disk space is used up, and you'll have to shrink one of those partitions. [04:58] hi how the live cum install cd works with ubiquity [04:58] I remeber my days as an Oper trying to fix the servers. [04:58] Can some one recomend a site for xfce looks configs? I would like to look at some ideas and what not [04:58] ganesh: what? [04:58] xfce-look.org i think it is ghost [04:59] please give the docs for live cum install cd [04:59] k just like kde-looks. [04:59] cool [04:59] astro76, can you test it by you please, here is the URL: http://opulus.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/opulus/trunk/ [04:59] !language | ganesh [04:59] ganesh: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [04:59] Woo [04:59] boom [04:59] another [04:59] kupesoft:are you there ? [04:59] * gilda holds her hands up in the air and squeels wheeeeeeee [04:59] :) [04:59] Hey folks, if the people you were talking to don't answer its because of the netsplit [04:59] ganesh: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation [05:00] please hold questions for about 5 min [05:00] creeed: hmmm? [05:00] !netsplit [05:00] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [05:00] Flannel, i am trying to make the cd with ubiquity , but i am getting error [05:00] nice we got some back now [05:01] ganesh: there are instructions on that page, the first section. Is there anything specific youre having trouble with? [05:01] #archlinux got cut down by about half also [05:02] and it returns [05:02] sethk: How do I shrink the partitions? And if I free up some hard disk space, would it be likely that I will have the option to resize the partition? [05:02] Flannel, which page [05:02] ganesh: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation [05:02] hiya [05:02] hey [05:02] how can i get ubuntu running as an xdmcp server for clients on a trusted network [05:03] jw144000, I don't believe the installer will do it for you. You probably need to boot the live cd and use gparted from it (unless you have something like partition magic available) [05:03] Flannel, my trouble is "i am not able to make a partition using ubiquity" [05:03] hi all, I have been trying to install ubuntu (first time) since last night. running into an ata issue that I'm nearly positive is coming from my blu-ray drive which I'm trying to install from (via ubuntu burned dvd)... can't find any info via google (all info points to bad hdd but i'm positive that's not the issue) [05:03] How do I access gparted? [05:04] Flannel, "it means after creating the partition , it is not able to detect the created partition " [05:04] jw144000, I've done it from a terminal window, but it's probably on a menu somewhere [05:04] also, I installed windows 2000 just to see if it would "work", and it did... but that's not a permanent solution [05:04] ganesh: try creating the partition in gparted, before using ubiquity [05:05] Flannel, but it is not a good way of creating gparted & then going with ubiquity [05:05] I have my /home mounted on a different partition and i want to use it for something else. I have logged in as root and tried cp -p -r /home/possum to another location, removed the partition from /rtc/fstab and used same cp -p -r to copy my home dir back into a /home on root partiton. Then when i go to login it has a hissy fit bout permissions. How can i completely preserve permissions? Is there an easier way to do this? [05:05] Flannel, but it is not a good way of creating partition thro gparted & then going with ubiquity [05:05] RaskahRat: cp -a [05:05] I use the liveCD to create the partition [05:05] Is at least 86GB of free space enough for Ubuntu? [05:06] ganesh: When something isnt working, youve gotta try and find a way that works [05:06] jw144000: Yeah thats plenty [05:06] astro76, ok thanks heaps =D [05:06] badkitty: Can you help me with manually installing Ubuntu? [05:06] RaskahRat, cp -av [05:06] jw144000: PM me [05:06] Flannel, i uploaded the error in ubuntu forums also [05:06] hey [05:06] RaskahRat, the v just makes it noisier, the -a is what makes it do what you want [05:07] astro76, I just got it right now thanks for your idea [05:07] I just installed Xubuntu, how do I set xubuntu to use zsh [05:07] RaskahRat, there's a way to do it with tar, but it's more complicated [05:07] like i had my gnome set up too [05:07] sethk, oh ok i dont understand the archive option lol, without context and such its hard to understand the man pages fully [05:08] I just installed Xubuntu, how do I set xubuntu to use zsh [05:08] RaskahRat, it will copy the files and preserve the permissions, which is what you need. [05:08] destructar, what is the issue with ur blueray drive [05:08] thanks sethk and astro76 =D [05:08] i am running gutsy x64 on a GA-P35-DS3L board and E2140 CPU but was not able to get cpufreq working...any suggestion on how to troubleshoot is greatly appreciated [05:09] not sure... i'm getting the error: ata3 irq_stat 0x00000040, connection status changed [05:09] how to setup file server? so that workstations pc2 xp and pc3 win98 can save and download their files to the pc1 server ubuntu.. thanks [05:09] and the disk loads no further ? [05:09] can somebody recommend me a gtk media player that supports last.fm and album art but isn't rhythmbox, listen, banshee, exaile, or bmpx? [05:09] how can I install Qt on gutsy? [05:09] marpstar: vlc [05:10] i'm looking for something more library oriented [05:10] everything i saw pertaining to this error pointed to a bad hard drive, but when i switch slots with my blu ray the ata changes... so right now it's ata1 in the message, but when I move blu ray to stata3 the messages changes [05:10] correct [05:10] does anyone know of a good xubuntu resource kind of like ubuntuguide [05:10] marpstar, did u try amarok at all ? [05:10] gilda, yes I did, I've had problems with it crashing and want to stick with something gnome-based [05:11] creeed: libqt (with some wart on the end), I believe. The online DB is down at the moment [05:11] destructar, does the cd load and get past that point or stall ? [05:11] I liked exaile, but there is a bug in the way it refreshes the library [05:11] listen doesn't work well with larger libraries [05:12] banshee is OK but has a bug where it's stops scrobbling tracks [05:12] great [05:12] i really like BMPx, but it's album art support is terrible [05:12] its [05:12] marpstar have you tried out songbird, its still in the development stages but it works pretty well [05:13] yeah, firestormx37, I have... it's quite buggy yet [05:13] gilda, so to be a little more clear: i insert the disc, get the ubuntu install screen, choose "start or install ubuntu", get a "loading linux kernel" window, screen changes to ubuntu progress slider image, screen changes to black with white text that says "ata3 irq_stat 0x00000040, connection status changed" among other things like "action 0x2 frozen" [05:13] I realize I'm asking for a lot, since I've tried almost every other player [05:13] Can anyone help me with manually installing Ubuntu? [05:13] I'm in a live CD session now [05:13] destructar - i want u to try loading the ubuntu disk - pressing f6 - at the end of the lines that appear that u can edit try adding all_generic_ide [05:14] is it possible to run a 32 bit app on 64 bit Gutsy? [05:14] ok rebooting now [05:14] jw144000: I will but y ou gotta pm me [05:14] badkitty, I just did [05:14] jw144000: Nope ... are you identified?? [05:14] Flannel, from witch source you got it please? [05:15] badkitty: I don't understand [05:15] ok i have the graphical slider... [05:15] creeed: it'll be in main [05:15] error text again... crap [05:15] same error or different ? [05:16] jw144000: I just PMed you [05:16] I got your PM [05:16] ok msg me in there [05:16] I just did [05:16] same, so again to be a bit more clear, the second message is: "ata3: exception Emask 0x10 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x4080000 action 0x2 frozen" [05:17] badkitty: You're unable to receive my PM's? [05:17] jw144000: Do you have a identified IRC account on freenode? [05:17] badkitty: No [05:17] ie have you registerred? Ok you have to do that in order to PM [05:18] hmmm destructar not sure at this point - sounds like the ata is not fully supporting ur drive on ubuntu did you check the hardware compatibility ? [05:19] yes but didn't find blu ray, so i'm guessing it's not supported, which is pretty disappointing as it's the only drive i have on hand tonight [05:19] darn [05:20] is there a way to install from a flash drive?

[05:37] badkitty: no a msn contact [05:37] zelrikriando: hmm I dont think I used it on MSN [05:38] hi, I managed to wipe out my /boot partition and now am trying to reinstall grub and linux image on it. So far I've booted a livecd and chrooted into the main linux partition, but when I try to apt-get install linux I get lots of dependency problems. Are there any better ways of doing it, or how to continue when apt-get does not want to install grub and the linux images in /boot? [05:38] badkitty: that s ok...the badkitty I am talking about blocked me anyways [05:38] :D [05:38] zelrikriando: LOl k I wont block you ;-) [05:39] sss, the package is NTLMaps - make sure you read the documentation first, though [05:39] MoLE_: Thanks for the hint [05:39] sss, of course the cache may simply be offline. [05:40] sss, it does run on windows, of course. [05:40] badkitty: where are you from [05:40] The contents of my /home folder is empty. Anyway to recover/rebuild this? [05:40] how to install audio/x-pn-realaudio [05:40] jmlane: might be its just not mounted [05:41] for anyone who might care: i suspected problems with a pioneer blu ray drive... was just able to get busybox installed by first booting to windows 2000. when booting in to linux got ata problems coming from blu ray, just unplugged blu ray and booted to busybox with no issues [05:41] zelrikriando: USA [05:41] jmlane: that is.. if you have home on different partition [05:41] of course i have no clue where to go from here to get gui installed [05:41] jmlane: remove and readd the user [05:41] badkitty: ok :) me Canada [05:41] oddly enough when I installed xubuntu-desktop, it did not install the filemanager with it [05:41] whats up with that!

[05:42] jmlane: oh you mean /home/ not your ~/ [05:43] If i delete all the .hidden folders in my /home will that hurt the programs or just reset there settings [05:43] astro76: Right. [05:44] jmlane: in that case, how did all the contents in it disappear in the first place? [05:44] tmba: Good question. [05:44] hmm [05:44] * zelrikriando is waiting for somebody [05:44] jmlane: :) [05:45] jmlane: are you able to log in to gnome with your user at all? [05:45] tmba: Not sure, I am sshed in remotely. [05:45] jmlane, ssh'd in is logged in [05:46] jmlane, presuming you didn't delete the files after you logged in, of course [05:46] I can log in through ssh, but it says /home/$user is missing [05:46] how do i add repositories? [05:47] how to start real player [05:47] Yeah, it appears that I toasted my /home/ directory's content somehow.... [05:47] jmlane, I would do this. Create a new user, then create the missing home directory, and copy everything from the new user's home to the recreated home [05:47] sethk: Sounds like a good idea. [05:47] jmlane, you'll need to use sudo to do the copy, then sudo chown -R name:name /home/name [05:48] jmlane: I think sethk's idea is a good one too. Just make sure /home is not on different partition [05:48] Will using adduser generate the .profile, .bashrc, etc. files? [05:48] tmba, that's a good point [05:48] jmlane: if it is, it might be just a mount that is missing [05:48] jmlane, yes [05:48] hey, when I "completly remove" app using synaptic, it should remove all the config files right? [05:48] jmlane: yes, it'll base it off of what's in /etc/skel [05:50] Hi guys, is it possible, from the terminal to "echo" the title of the song being played in amarok?

Only you would know how stuff was installed. Perhaps lvm or something? [05:52] spdf, sorry, got a reply from someone in #amarok, he gave me a command to try but it just printed a blank line, il let you know if he gives me a decent answer,.,.;) [05:52] jmlane: can you pastebin your fstab, mount output, and fdisk -l output [05:52] astro76: Yes. What exactly is the mount output you are looking for? [05:53] Just mount? [05:53] jmlane: yes [05:54] how can I change the mount point on an extra partition? I just set up a new partition so that I could have /home/ in a seperate partition, but its named /media/disk, and it would be nice if it followed the normal /dev/sda# format [05:54] J_Humphrey: if you want it to be a separate home, it will need to be mounted to /home, but there's a process to moving your existing home over [05:55] spdf, heres the command : dcop amarok player title [05:55] J_Humphrey: you need to edit your fstab [05:55] J_Humphrey: also, when its in /media, its already mountec [05:55] J_Humphrey: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [05:55] bod_: Try, dcop amarok player encodedURL [05:56] spdf, ok,.,.1 sec [05:56] astro76: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54810/ [05:56] ooo fstab peoples [05:56] so, folks, I've managed to wipe out my /boot partition. What to do to re-install grub on it + linux images? chroot? [05:56] i'm trying to get my server to automatically mount all my harddrives for everybody to use on startup. [05:57] ahhhh he lied to me [05:57] Actually, what J_Humphrey is wanting to do is exactly what I was in the process of attempting, except I only just formated and partition the new harddrive. [05:57] I did it!!! [05:58] install with no head ache. I even did NDIS wrapper by myself [05:58] astro76: those directions are silly and over-complicated ;) [05:58] I rulez teh webz [05:58] LOL [05:58] :) [05:58] jmlane: this would have been usefull info [05:58] kdcop is quite nice, is there a GTK equivalent? [05:58] spdf, that gives me the file path to my track, and some weird % everywhere [05:58] nemilar: really I haven't read it :O [05:59] Ok, so I have a dumb question: In th process of confiruging ndiswrapper, I accidentally screwed up the blacklist. How do I manually edit the blacklist? [05:59] how do I find out what the current mount point/name is for current partitions? [05:59] anyone knows nickrud? [05:59] J_Humphrey: df [05:59] astro76: it would be some much easier, after you create the new partition, to just go back into ubuntu, you'll have all the partitions mounted, just cp the stuff from /home to /media/newdisk, umount /media/newdisk, rm /home/* , edit your fstab, remount [05:59] brb, gotta smoke... and then i'll want somebody to help me with my mounting problems, if possible. :) [05:59] J_Humphrey: 'mount' [05:59] bod_: Yeh, its just encoded characters [05:59] bod_: So, that's working at least [05:59] J_Humphrey: use the 'mount' command [06:00] J_Humphrey: all except swap partitions, for those use cat /proc/swaps [06:00] norv: cat /proc/mounts [06:00] nemilar: agreed... just read it, it's pretty bad ;) [06:01] norv: actually you're right, I never realized mounts doesn't show the swap partitions [06:01] norv: my bad [06:01] zelrikriando: [06:01] hey [06:01] wb nickrud [06:01] astro76: Actually, from the looks of it, /dev/hdc2 might be /home. [06:01] spdf, yer, i now have the commands to find, the track plplaying, the file path, the artist, and the track & artist in the same command [06:01] hi everyone [06:02] I need help [06:02] with ubuntu java chat room not comes blank [06:02] using AMD64 [06:02] zelrikriando: ready? It will take a while. What we will be doing is identifying stuff that was installed from medibuntu, replacing ubuntu packages. [06:02] What is the easiest way to check what the contents of a partition are? [06:02] a boot-cd to repair mbr? [06:02] bod_: check out http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/DCOP_Functions [06:02] nickrud: get started I want to sleep after :) [06:03] !es | alexh [06:03] zelrikriando: ok :) first, reenable the medibuntu repos, so it's easy to identify them [06:03] alexh: Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda. [06:03] bod_: You'd just have to do something like, dcop amarok player 'artist()', I believe [06:03] spdf, ty,. why have none of these dcop amarok functions been printed anywhere,. there not in --help, --help-all, man, info ,. [06:03] Hi [06:03] jmlane: you mean, its files? [06:04] bod_: also, just running dcop amarok player will print out a list of functions you can call [06:04] spdf, take out the () and the command woeks [06:04] jmlane: no hdc2 is an extended partition (not a data partition but a container for logicals) [06:04] jmlane: just running 'mount' will tell you what directory it is mounted to [06:04] jmlane: probably was hdc1 [06:04] norv,. ty [06:04] ubuto how i switch to the spanish room [06:04] nemilar: Yeah, files. Well, I don't know if you can call them files when it isn't a regular FS... [06:04] nickrud: ok [06:04] btw, is DCOP the same /in principle/ as AppleScript's calling? [06:04] jmlane: what's the fstype? [06:05] zelrikriando: ok, open synaptic, and press the origins button. You should see medibuntu listed in the top left pane [06:05] alexh: /join #ubuntu-es [06:05] nickrud: I am there already :) [06:05] norv, thats quite a bit of reading,. ty [06:05] in gutsy I can no longer open picture urls directly from the gimp, I get an error [06:05] zelrikriando: cool. In the right, what packages do you have installed? [06:05] nemilar: astro76 just said it was extended, for logicals... Not sure what logicals are, but I assume it is some special OS stuff. [06:05] bod_: Check out that wiki link, it has some explanations as well [06:05] I used to be able to in previous release [06:05] how do you get rid of the grub bootloader? [06:05] spdf, wil do cheers,. gonna go grab some breakfast,.brb [06:05] nickrud: skype skype-common (for non free) [06:06] astro76: ? (jmlane) did you get his problem fixed? [06:06] boyhppy: why would u do that? [06:06] nickrud: nothing on free [06:06] zelrikriando: thats all? If so, you waited up for nothing [06:06] jmlane: nemilar: logical partitions can be used for anything primary partitions can, except booting, pretty much [06:06] nemilar: no he's in some state in the process of moving /home and I'm not sure what he's done [06:06] nickrud: I have other stuff wait [06:06] nemilar: My problem is the missing contents of /home, but it appears I deleted them when deleting the crap off /media/store. [06:07] astro76: ahh [06:07] jmlane: so did you delete all copies of your home directory contents? [06:07] nickrud: libavcodec1d libavformat1d libavutil1d libpostproc1d (on main) [06:07] whenever I reboot, it doesn't pick up my nameservers properly and I have to edit /etc/resolv.conf by hand. any idea how to fix that? [06:08] jmlane: btw, for your looking at files, question, Apps - Accessories - Disk Usage Anylizer is a great tool for mounted partitions [06:08] since i installed ubuntu on an external hard drive and if I don't have the external hard drive isn't plugged into the pc, grub booter won't work and then i can't boot from my XP operating system (my other operating system) [06:08] nemilar: Well, unless there is an automatic backup kept somewhere else, yes. [06:08] jmlane: ouch. I'm sorry to hear that [06:08] nickrud: ok that s it... [06:08] boyhppy: where did u install grub? [06:08] boyhppy: if you have 2 disks you don't technically need a boot loader [06:08] nemilar: Not using GUI... Trying to teach myself barebones Linux slowly. [06:08] norv: well there is that... =p [06:08] when you install ubuntu, it installs GRUB on your bios [06:09] jmlane: did you loose anything important? [06:09] boyhppy: no it installs it on ur hard drive [06:09] lose [06:09] Not really, new install, but I had a few accounts. [06:09] can anyone help me figure out why .iso's i save to my desktop give me an error (inavlid disk image) when i try to burn them with k3b. [06:09] nickrud: ? [06:09] zelrikriando: ok, select livavcodec1d , then on the menu bar package => force version [06:10] zelrikriando: what options do you see [06:10] boyhppy: fixmbr on windows XP's hard disk (in windows XP). then install grub on the external. set the boot order to boot first from external, then from an internal HD [06:10] but when i take my external hard drive out, it shows the grub and it says error so i can't boot for my other OS [06:10] jmlane: oh, okay... not so bad then. So where are you stuck now? [06:10] boyhppy: right because grub is in the MBR of your internal hard drive, but the config file is in /boot on the external drive [06:11] nickrud: I see 2 options [06:11] nickrud: one is regular ubuntu the other is medibuntu [06:11] nemilar: Not really stuck, just generated a template user so to get a /home/$user dir. [06:11] zelrikriando: choose the ubuntu one, then repeat for each of the other packages [06:11] Hi, any ideas about how do I make the stock ubuntu desktop like this - http://www.thelinuxvault.net/images/6/6b/ModifiedUbuntuScreenshot.png [06:11] jmlane: cool cool [06:11] Is there a quick way to copy a source to multiple destinations? [06:12] nickrud: for all of them? [06:12] boyhppy: go with norvs advice [06:12] Hello. can someone please help me get direct rendering working on this laptop? [06:12] astro76: I had a problem that when I added a USB thumb drive, grub would just refuse to load with the same error at stage 1.5 [06:12] ok [06:12] zelrikriando: each of the ones that is visible when you choose medibuntu.org as the origin [06:12] afpac: Well, the bottom bar looks like Avant Window Navigator to me [06:12] I have the proprietary Radeon drivers installed. [06:12] nickrud: ok [06:12] but it's still outputting... [06:12] spdf: ok, a clue, thanks :) [06:12] Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":1.0". [06:12] [06:12] zelrikriando: not skype, it doesn't matter. [06:12] folks, how do I know if my update manager is working? [06:12] under the glxinfo [06:12] has anyone tried to get sound working on a dell m1330 running hardy? [06:12] hi i want to build my own ubuntu based linux..can anybody lead me to a new good site [06:13] afpac: And they're using a dark gtk theme/engine and a custom icon theme as well [06:13] can someone please help me out with that? [06:13] afpac: Check out gtk-look.org [06:13] I seem to remember tons of updates that I needed to do with a fresh install [06:13] spdf: i see [06:13] astro76: I realized it was detecting the thumb drive first and making it hard disk 0 0 or such. lilo seemed to fix this, though I never found out why [06:13] nickrud: I cant on skype anyways [06:13] That was the stupidist question anybody has ever asked. I should quit. [06:13] hey, where can i find the ALSA config files in ubuntu? [06:13] pcrack: use Ubuntu first. [06:13] afpac: Er, sorry, gnome-look.org [06:14] nickrud: I am applying those [06:14] zelrikriando: heh, true, no skype in ubuntu :) [06:14] norv: but his only happens when he removes the external, leaving only window [06:14] afpac: right, thanks [06:14] astro76: yes, it's a different issue [06:14] afpac: There's an alright black gtk theme called Blue-Junior on there, that might be what they've used [06:14] nickrud: done [06:15] zelrikriando: now apply the changes [06:15] spdf: will keep in mind [06:15] zelrikriando: I looked away, you were ahead of me [06:15] zelrikriando: try vlc for kicks [06:15] hihi all:) [06:16] nickrud: for some reason I had to apply the changes twice [06:16] When something(window/video/game) moves quickly sideways, I see broken horizontal lines. This is not an issue in Vista. Hsync and Vrefresh are correct... WXGA. Any ideas? [06:16] does anyone know how to copy from vi to evolution? [06:16] astro76: it seems LILO uses uuid or something a little more picky about what drive maps to what number, but that's just my speculation [06:16] hhhhii... [06:16] nickrud: no change in the vlc [06:16] leetcharmer: highlight the stuff in vi with the mouse , then press the middle button in evolution [06:16] norv: lilo installs completely to the MBR, not relying on a file in /boot, could be that [06:17] Hey guys I have abit of an emergancy [06:17] norv: or are you talking about your issue.. I'm sleepy and confused ;) [06:17] astro76: hmm, I was told it still had a staging process because the MBR is too small for any real storage (splash image in LILO?) .. .btw, my issue [06:17] has anyone tried to get sound working on a dell m1330 running hardy? [06:17] ghost: shoot [06:17] nickrud: now, if I wanted to copy from vi to another terminal program without using gdm, what would I do? [06:18] zelrikriando: hum. in a terminal, type apt-cache policy libavcodec1d [06:18] I followed the instructions to rid your system of gnome after i installed xubuntu [06:18] even making a partition through ubiquity , im not able to install on the created partition , why [06:18] well it seems lots of things where un installed that didn't need to be un installed [06:18] leetcharmer: you mean in a console? install gpm , it works the same [06:18] nickrud: it s writen...medibuntu [06:18] ok, ghost [06:18] ok, I messed up my directory, this is the error message when I try to open up computer: "Could not launch menu item. Failed to change to directory '/home/name' (no such file or directory" How do I change my directory back to normal? [06:18] forinstance, now I can't get wifi [06:18] zelrikriando: pastebin the output of that command [06:18] ghost: what exactly is the problem? [06:19] ghost: if you aren't running low on disk, don't bother pulling out packages to things you don't need [06:19] !pastebin | zelrikriando (just in case you don't know pastebin) [06:19] zelrikriando (just in case you don't know pastebin): 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) [06:19] hi, even making a partition through ubiquity , im not able to install on the created partition , why [06:19] nickrud: I'm on an XO laptop (from OLPC) -- and can't install gdm. [06:19] norv the original perpose of switching to xfce was for smaller system [06:19] ghost, I'd probably just run sudo aptitude reinstall xubuntu-desktop, which should pull in all the dependencies like network manager. [06:19] ghost, how did you connect to wifi, what type of card do you have, and is it a secure wifi problem [06:19] ghost: did you install the xubuntu package [06:19] nickrud: http://pastebin.com/m663bad6 [06:19] nickrud: I wanna paste stuff from vi to an e-mail in webmail opera :) [06:19] I did install xubuntu-desktop [06:20] ghost did you then remove packages afterwards? [06:20] its possile i remoeved things that are under the gnome package that xubuntu also uses [06:20] ghost: oh, didn't catch that. IMHO, it's not that much smaller and even on 4GB of disk, 500MB of ram, Kubuntu still seems to work well [06:20] good idea [06:20] leetcharmer: that technique will work. highlight with the mouse, and press the middle button in the opera webmail text box [06:20] I am using xgl... I really need help if anyone is willing... please! [06:20] oh yeah [06:20] whole lot of packages [06:20] ghost: I suspect you removed thinks like network-manager which controls network access [06:20] thakns for pointing me in the right direction [06:21] Yeah it was network manager and a lot of other things [06:21] ghost: sudo aptitude reinstall xubuntu-desktop [06:21] (i figured fix that one first to fix the other stuff [06:21] I thought xubuntu used network-manager [06:21] ok, I messed up my directory, this is the error message when I try to open up computer: "Could not launch menu item. Failed to change to directory '/home/name' (no such file or directory)" How do I change it back to normal? [06:21] MoLE_, already on it :) [06:21] ghost, xfce is slightly faster than the other DE's, although KDE 4 looks like it may be getting better [06:21] zelrikriando: then somehow your force version didn't go through. Try it again [06:21] obiwannekody I am waiting for 4.1 [06:21] nickrud: That takes me back and forth between websites, not paste :( [06:21] obiwannekody: ghost: prelink also makes a difference for startup speeds [06:21] ghost, me too [06:22] ghost, what does 'ifconfig -a' give you? (is your wifi card listed?) [06:22] I need to research prelinking, I did it a while back and i did not find much benifit, but I will look into it again [06:22] leetcharmer: middle button? opera must be overriding it then. Middle button paste is a real low level X function. I have no idea why the olpc works differently [06:22] obiwannekody, installing network manager will fix the problem, thanks :) [06:23] Evening all. Has it been busy in here today? [06:24] ghost: shouldn't affect your DE choice, and it's not an amazing change.. but it helps on low-end hardware [06:24] nickrud: :) found a way to do it. Open the file via file:///home/olpc/file [06:24] ubotu: broken sound [06:24] Sorry, I don't know anything about broken sound - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [06:24] :) [06:24] ok, I messed up my directory, this is the error message when I try to open up computer: "Could not launch menu item. Failed to change to directory '/home/name' (no such file or directory)" How do I change it back to normal? [06:24] nickrud: I did it again...seemed to went through [06:24] nickrud: but didnt fix my issue [06:24] does anybody here know how to configure finch? [06:24] zelrikriando: the apt-cache policy says ubuntu is installed? [06:24] hi, even making a partition through ubiquity , im not able to install on the created partition , why [06:24] nickrud: yes [06:25] ganesh, what kind of partition did you make? [06:25] ganesh, you can't install on a mounted partition [06:25] zelrikriando: ok, to keep from using the medibuntu libraries again disable the medibuntu repos again [06:25] can anyone help me..? [06:25] i'm having troble checking my kernel features [06:25] J_Humphrey, ext3 filesystem [06:25] ganesh, is it mounted? [06:26] Is there any sort of documentation explaining what all the default ubuntu users/groups do? [06:26] ghost: I believe, not certain, that the conserve memory option actually conserves more than before prelink. not sure, I wouldn't count on it [06:26] thekayhan, yeah im not able to install on the mounted partition [06:26] ganesh, and it needs to be bigger than around 2.5GB [06:26] J_Humphrey, yeah it is mounted & 5 Gb partition [06:26] nickrud: ok [06:27] ganesh, it can't be mounted if you want to install something to it [06:27] zelrikriando: do the apt-cache policy on each of the libraries (libavcodec1d libavformat1d libavutil1d libpostproc1d) make sure they are all ubuntu [06:27] jmlane: they're all system ones [06:27] J_Humphrey, if already i make a partition through gparted it is working [06:27] ganesh: no he's saying that you need to unmount it first [06:27] J_Humphrey, but if i make a partition thro ubiquity it is not so , why ? [06:28] norv: All are required? [06:28] ganesh, i have no idea [06:28] jmlane: you shouldn't touch any, that is [06:28] rebooting [06:28] nickrud: they are all good [06:29] how can I get my directory back to / ? [06:29] anyone at all know why bash takes quite a bit longer to start than sh, besides being more advanced? [06:29] J_Humphrey cd / [06:29] thekayhan, no if i am installing on the partition which i created early , it is working fine but my prob is im not able install if i create a fresh partition thro ubiquity [06:30] thekayham, no, you dont understand, I cant access anything on my computer [06:30] zelrikriando: ok, now you're using only ubuntu libs. Next thing, start vlc and go to settings->preferences->video->output modules, enable advanced options (lower right) which module are you using? [06:30] hi, any recommendations for troubleshooting an issue with listing a directory. ran fsck on boot and the disk seems to be fine. but when I ls a particular directory, this happens to be /var/www/ it takes about 30 seconds to a minute to list [06:31] J_Humphrey: you can boot up into rescue mode or make init=/bin/sh [06:31] thekayhan, if i am installing on the partition which i created early ,it is working fine but my prob is im not able to install if i create a fresh partition thro ubiquity ? [06:31] musikgoat, how big is it? large directories on large partions take sometimes take a while. also, what is the file system? [06:32] nickrud: I dont find it... [06:32] zelrikriando: you have the preferences window open? [06:33] . [06:33] nickrud: yes [06:33] sup nickrud [06:33] obiwannekody: attempting a du -sch is causing a delay as well, its larger, but that is in subdirectories, not in the webroot [06:33] nickrud: I am under the tab "general video parameters" [06:33] zelrikriando: second down is video, click the triangle next to it, you should see filters, output modules (what we want) and subtitles [06:34] hmmm [06:34] musikgoat, and the file system is... ext3? [06:34] hello chaps. just wondering if i can apt-get upgrade or apt-get dist-upgrade from alpha 4 to 8.04 when it comes out? [06:34] badkitty: in over my head on vlc color mangling I fear [06:34] obiwannekody: checking my logs [06:34] nickrud: ok I got : predefined [06:34] for the module [06:35] zelrikriando: set it to xvideo [06:35] nickrud: Hmm thats no fun.. I can't get VLC to play my curb yur enthusiasm dvd properly [06:35] Could anyone help me out with a quick problem? [06:35] hi, do you know how to save document directly to storage media while editing, so that it's save if there's electrical interrupt [06:35] badkitty: plays others ok? [06:35] Is there a way to 'reload' the /etc/passwd, /etc/group, /etc/shadow files to check for non-existent users or groups? [06:35] nickrud: ok [06:36] nickrud: As far as I know.. haven't played too many.. only when my GF kicks me out of the living room [06:36] nickrud: anything else? [06:36] zelrikriando: now try the video [06:36] nickrud: But as far as I know its fine [06:36] nickrud: didnt fix it [06:36] I cant change my screen resolution, and it wont save it when i do. [06:36] badkitty: then maybe you could mention that particular disk on a vlc forum [06:36] xXBuddahXx: did you try restarting? [06:37] how the grub is getting edit when i install from ubiquity [06:37] Several times, My monitor model isnt on there and it wont save it when i change it [06:37] xXBuddahXx: try running 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart' from the command line [06:37] zelrikriando: I'm not certain what is up then. It's odd that it said predefined, mine didn't even have the option (unless you're translating, mine said default) [06:37] hi......................................... anyone could help me??? [06:37] nickrud: I am translating [06:37] nickrud: Perhaps I shall [06:38] If i run that will it restart my comp imediatly? [06:38] zelrikriando: and it's only oggs that have problems? [06:38] nickrud: I remember having problems with wmv [06:39] xXBuddahXx: it will restart your gui [06:39] nickrud: hm hold on [06:39] nickrud: yeah wmv [06:39] what could be the reason some applications are using some enormous fonts while other applications (eg python idle) and the desktop fonts are properly sized [06:39] obiwannekody: rather, i thought I was, I will reboot it, cause the logs are littered with iptables stuff. do you know of another quick way to find out your filesystem type in command line? [06:39] nickrud: .avi works fine [06:40] thank you... [06:40] Man, i feel like such a noob, Wheres CMD at? [06:40] xXBuddahXx: applications -> accessories -> terminal [06:40] musikgoat, Just check /etc/fstab [06:40] Thanks man! [06:40] musikgoat, it states what is mounted where [06:40] oh yes, its ext3 [06:40] zelrikriando: I am at a loss then [06:41] nickrud: sorry they dont [06:41] obiwannekody: and its only 17G atm [06:41] nickrud: the .avi dont [06:41] nickrud: MPlayer works fine though on .avi [06:42] zelrikriando: I can't think of anything else to check right now [06:42] nickrud: that s ok [06:42] musikgoat, how long does it take to display the directory in the file manager (if you have X) [06:43] i don't have x, its headless [06:43] nickrud: I needed this to see my video screen captures actually [06:43] zelrikriando: sorry to keep you up for nothing [06:43] nickrud: no problem :) [06:44] nickrud: I am gonna go to bed for now [06:44] zelrikriando: I'm around often, maybe I'll have a brainstorm [06:44] nickrud: I am usually around on freenode [06:45] zelrikriando: or you might have some luck with #vlc [06:45] obiwannekody: it seems to only be at this level that the delay has, but seeing that sudo du -sch took just as long, do you think it could be disk issues? [06:45] nickrud: ok [06:45] bye [06:45] bye [06:46] is it possible to remove the lost+found directory on a partition, say if I want to mount this partition as /home? [06:47] jmibanez: it's possible, but not necessary [06:47] sluggo: Is there any benefit to leaving it there? [06:47] How can I have OpenOffice Writer not auto increment my number bullets when making a list? [06:48] musikgoat, I don't think so, but it could be possible. have you done any speed tweaking? [06:48] no [06:48] jmlane: that's where fsck will store things it recovers when it runs, but i believe it'll automatically recreated [06:48] anyone know how to remove that little black triangle from the main-menu applet? [06:49] fitztrev: don't use numbers? [06:49] musikgoat, does the disk grind/click while you are using ls? [06:50] nickrud: I want to be able to manually enter numbers [06:51] fitzrev: I would look for an auto-format feature and turn it off... ;) [06:51] or use abiword [06:52] twentyafterfour: Ok, I see the option in AutoCorrect, but how do you disable it? [06:52] hey, i just updated, and now gutsy is extremely slow. is there any way i can roll back to before? [06:52] no, it seems like its not really doing much except its usual minimal hd noise [06:53] obiwannekody: ^^ [06:53] sluggo: Cool, thanks. [06:54] I don't need to set any special permissions on /home if it is mounted from a separate partition? [06:54] fitztrev: format menu [06:54] musikgoat, I don't think it is a hardware problem, but if it is a software one it is beyond me. Is it for every directory or just in /var? [06:54] The latest updates broke my sound. Now I have to hax teh mainframe and recompile teh kernils. === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [06:54] fitztrev: autoformat sub menu [06:54] fitztrev: or create your own style that does what you want. Like a paragraph with hanging indent and a decimal tab on the first line [06:54] Hey guys, i need some serious help, Does anyone have any experience using Boot Camp on Mac OSX to install Windows XP cuz i just did it, and the Windows install went very smoothly but i can't boot onto my Mac partition now (I know it's not Linux related, but it;s my Roomates MacBook Pro and he's gonna kill me!!!!) [06:55] lol [06:55] Get your papers in order. [06:55] hm... cant you install linux and triple boot? o.O [06:55] Notify next of kin. [06:55] i upgraded the old 2.6.22-14 kernals that i'm not even using. is there any way to undo the updates? [06:55] backgen: try asking on #macosx [06:56] thanks nick [06:56] * nickrud gives last rites to backgen [06:56] tsk tsk the cardinal rule - never touch some1 elses puter [06:57] Is there a form of ubuntu I can put on my old Mac G3? [06:57] haha just kidding everyone. i just remembered wrong and booted the wrong kernal. sorry.... xD [06:57] enduser: I would think that it should work [06:57] um...the mac osx channel is pretty dead...can anyone here help? [06:58] what was the kernel update about? it didn't change version numbers.. or did it? [06:58] enduser i do believe ull need a ppc version [06:58] !ppc [06:58] PowerPC. Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ [06:58] twentyafterfour: nickrud: just installed abiword cause I'm in a rush. works great! thanks! [06:58] fitzrev: cool, good luck. if you want to try it later look in the autoformat menu in oo.org [06:58] where would I find a ppc version? [06:59] What options should I add to a fstab entry for a partition containing /home? [06:59] how do I delite entries in my 'menulist' now that I am in xfce [06:59] jmlane: defaults should work [06:59] there is no application to control what is in there, so where is that information normally stored? [06:59] enduser: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ [07:00] jmlane: nothing really, consider noatime maybe [07:00] what is news for in /var/log? [07:00] twentyafterfour: I don't need anything else? [07:00] J_5: if you have an nntp server that's where the logs would go [07:00] jmlane: this is my entry: UUID=f1399cd7-bc7e-4ec9-9771-ac78d7a63e90 /home ext3 defaults 0 2 [07:00] ghost u can edit the menus thru xfce -- umm its in the settings menu somewheres [07:00] oh ok, thanks [07:01] Frogzoo: what's the inode access time table for? [07:01] gilda, I have played with that app, it does not seem to be able to edit the things that where there before xfce [07:01] twentyafterfour gilda nickrud thanks I will go check out that link and then I am sure I will have a few more questions. [07:01] hahahahahahahahahaha [07:01] guys guess what [07:01] ah k ghost [07:01] if i use the terminal to echo a value that i know will be ; 95.696503 ,.,. how can i tell the terminal to round it to the nearest whole number? [07:01] gilda they appear to be hold over's from the gnomemenu [07:01] turns out i'll stay alive [07:01] ah then maybe u wanna stop starting gnome services with xfce [07:01] twentyafterfour: cool, thanks. [07:02] we had been pressing the Apple key instead of the Options key on bootup and thats why it wasn't doing anything! [07:02] gilda they are not gnome apps [07:02] tl:dr i switched from gnome to xfce a few minuts ago [07:02] the menu from previous gnome installation / whatever would be a service though not an apps [07:03] do you know where that data is saved in gnome then [07:03] if u have hold overs a test would be to not starrt gnome services and see if its still gomes up [07:03] does anybody here know how to configure finch? [07:03] because I know they are just little files with instructions stored in some folder [07:03] ~/.gnome? [07:03] let me check [07:03] i don't have a .gnome [07:03] i deleted it [07:04] Lately, sometimes when I do a 'apt-get update' some of the index files fail to download. Is this because the server the index file is on is having problems? [07:04] security.ubuntu.com is one that I'm having trouble with tonight. [07:04] jmlane: by default, ext keeps an updated record of the time a file was last accessed, turning off atime will reduce disk traffic [07:04] levander, chances are, yes. [07:05] levander: yes [07:05] ubuntu.com has been having trouble handling the apt load lately? [07:05] is 3d acceleration possible with an ATI Radeon Xpress 200m integrated GPU on Ubuntu? [07:05] levander, i just did a sudo apt-get update without problems [07:06] Hammer89: yes, system->admin->restricted manager [07:06] is there a keyboard shortcut for: minimize, maximize windows in nautilus ? [07:06] hmm [07:07] does anyone know how to round a numbeer in the terminal,.,. eg ,.,. round 5.7 to 6 [07:07] ?? [07:07] bod_: I just tried another 'apt-get update' after you said that. Here's the output: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54813/ [07:07] arooni_: it's gnome you want, not nautilus [07:07] ok gnome [07:08] Frogzoo: Thanks. [07:08] arooni_: it depends on which window manager you use [07:08] arooni_: arooni_ sys -> prefs -> kb shortcuts [07:09] nickrud: (or anyone else) do you have any idea how to get direct rendering working on my ATI GPU? [07:09] levander, thats really weird,. this is mine ,.,. : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54814/ [07:09] Hammer89: did you do the restricted manager and reboot? I have a 200 and that worked fine [07:09] twentyafterfour, i'm using the fany one (compiz fusion built into gutsy) [07:09] nickrud: yeah... but direct rendering still isn't working [07:10] hello, i need to perform a system rescue on my 7.10 ubuntu system [07:10] Does /home need the sticky bit? [07:10] arooni_: Compiz has options, install the compiz manager [07:10] nickrud: http://pastebin.com/m38171643 [07:10] alt + f10 and alt + f5 [07:10] my system locks up at boot time because of a failed init of the network manager [07:10] pretty nifty!!!! [07:10] bod_: Where's yours? [07:10] plz someone help [07:10] bod_: nm, just saw [07:10] Hammer89: pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log [07:10] i already have the alternate ubuntu iso downloaded and burned to a cd [07:10] levander, what? my pastebin? [07:11] arooni_: apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [07:11] sudo [07:11] i need the specific command for resetting my system files in linux to the default [07:11] nickrud: http://pastebin.com/d2b41e16f [07:11] levander, ok,.,. [07:11] Am I the only one having trouble with 'apt-get update' servers right now? [07:11] bloodboy: there is no such command i am afraid [07:11] arooni_: cool. compiz is nice... [07:12] Poka what shoukd i do? [07:12] i;m pissing in my balls here [07:12] arooni_, you can change those hotkeys to whatever you want in ccsm [07:12] seriuolsy [07:12] i cant access my data [07:12] bloodboy: what happened? [07:12] !ask > bloodboy [07:12] twentyafterfour:yes it looks bad ass [07:12] if I install ubuntu-restricted-extras will it mess with VLC plugin for firefox? [07:13] anyone having problems with apt-get today? [07:13] Hammer89: according to that, you've got 3d working fine. Do you have xserver-xgl installed? [07:13] bod_ no [07:13] nickrud: how do I check? [07:13] after i installed the glib library the whole system can't boot up anymore [07:13] nickrud: the first pastebin link I posted said direct rendering wasn't working [07:13] bloodboy, does the fallback kernel boot? [07:13] hoping someone can help here. I just got a new dell sp2008wfp, which should display at a resolution of 1680x1050, but I can't get ubuntu to display at any resolution near that. [07:13] karley, could you do me a favour,. and pastebin your output for sudo apt-get update ? [07:13] no [07:13] nickrud: it's direct rendering I'm having issues with [07:13] any kernel can;t boot [07:14] Hammer89: ps -A | grep X , if you get Xgl back you're running xserver-xgl and you will see that error. === arooni_ is now known as arooni-mobile [07:14] i think there is a seriuos bug woth the wireless network manager in ubuntu [07:14] bloodboy, thats not good,,.,. recovery mode? [07:14] recovery mode works [07:14] bod_: Here's my sources.list, I don't see anything wrong with it. [07:14] Thanks for all the help guys === kitofhawaii is now known as kitofhavarti [07:14] hey if i want to search my computer what would the cli command be. Say i am looking for a file, i want to search everything under /, what would I type [07:14] I have run dpkg-reconfigure, and the resolutions selected there, are not even the ones available in the resolution selection window. [07:14] Hammer89: lines 728 thru 731 say you do [07:14] bloodboy, use recovery mode to remove the package that screwd things up [07:15] ghost: find / -name "file" -type f [07:15] levander, well,.,. where?

[07:15] there is some regression issues in Ubuntu 7.10 [07:15] explain? [07:15] isn't there something in the new init system that insures a service crashes to restart it ? [07:15] y so many bugs in 7.10 compared to fiesty? [07:16] nickrud: running glxinfo | grep "direct rendering" gives me this: http://pastebin.com/d66a10420 [07:16] bloodboy: file a bug report. be happy. [07:16] MoLE_: It's currently using nvidia [07:16] i have no bugs in mine bloodboy [07:16] nickrud: which says direct rendering isn't working... [07:16] bod_: my sources.list: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54816/ [07:16] Hammer89: yes, you are running xserver-xgl. You have 3d working otherwise your compiz wouldn't be working. It's a known issue [07:16] st3v3dnd, did you install using the restricted driver manager? [07:16] i want to tell you guys about my error, but i'm no linux expert [07:17] i need your help to diagnose the problem and solve it [07:17] good night [07:17] Hammer89: It sucks having ati. It's 3d accell available to all apps with compiz running or compiz running and 3d available to no other app [07:17] hi [07:17] Hammer89: what card? [07:17] ghost, are you looking for a specific file? [07:17] where does the update manager download the packages [07:17] MoLE_: it shows it as being in use in the restricted driver manager [07:17] temporarily [07:17] Poka: Radeon Xpress 200m [07:17] levander, try this one [07:17] I am looking for where the gnome menu keeps its data [07:17] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54817/ [07:17] Poka: he has ati 200m with xserver-xgl running, so glxinfo reports no direct rendering [07:17] so i can manually edit that data. [07:17] my question is , how do i boot ubuntu with the network daemons disabled? [07:17] ubotu: help [07:17] I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [07:18] bloodboy, why not just unplug ur wifi dongle? [07:18] it's inbuilt [07:18] nickrud: it's not possible to get Direct Rendering working with my gpu? [07:18] The packages files will be cached locally for installation [07:18] ipw3945 [07:18] ok let me try now [07:18] i disable wireless in BIOD [07:18] Hammer89: you can test this yourself. uninstall xserver-xgl , then log out and back in. You will see glxinfo reporting direct rendering: yes [07:18] BIOS [07:18] thanks for the idea [07:18] thanks a lot [07:18] :( :( :: [07:18] i will disable wireless in BIOS [07:18] will see how it goes [07:18] Hammer89: it should work. [07:19] if I run nvidia-settings it allows me to pick the resolution i want, but when I try to apply it, it gives an error "Failed to set MetaMode (35) 'CRT-0: 1680x1050" @1680x1050 +0+0' (Mode 1680x1050, id: 50) on X screen 0" [07:19] kthx again [07:19] !enter > bloodboy please read the private message from ubotu [07:19] Hammer89: did you install radeon driver? [07:19] nickrud: that wont screw me up? (I'm sortof an emerging linux user... not quite up to par yet ;) ) [07:19] Poka: Hi [07:19] Poka: I installed the default restricted driver... whatever that may be [07:19] hi kaushal [07:19] Hammer89: nope, won't hurt anything. You won't be able to run compiz, though until you reinstall xserver-xgl [07:19] Hammer89: i don't run that card but let me look it up for you. [07:19] sec [07:20] where does the update manager caches the package for installation [07:20] I mean which folder [07:20] kaushal: /var/cache/apt [07:20] ok [07:20] hi [07:20] chhi [07:20] nickrud: hmm... is reinstalling it actually going to fix anything... or is it just going to cause glxinfo | grep "direct rendering"to give me accurate results? [07:21] twentyafterfour gilda nickrud: I am downloading an iso disk for xubuntu 7.10 to try on the Mac G3 with 64mb ram. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I will keep you posted. [07:21] if I install ubuntu-restricted-extras will it mess with VLC plugin for firefox? [07:21] enduser: that amount of ram might be a problem [07:21] karley: No it shouldn;t [07:21] Hammer89: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver [07:21] !radeon [07:21] To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [07:21] Hammer89, when using grep dont use "" unless the word/words your looking for actually include "" or you may get bad results [07:21] enduser: you will probably need the "alternate" install, the livecd probably needs a lot more RAM than that [07:21] Hammer89: it's not a 'fix' . When you have xserver-xgl installed glxinfo will report no direct rendering. It's just the way it is. [07:22] Halp. I am suffering from https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.15/+bug/16041 [07:22] Hammer89: if you want to run 3d games for example, you must not run xserver-xgl so the 3d acceleration is not hogged by xserver-xgl [07:22] nickrud: gotcha.... my desktop is heavily dependent on compiz though [07:23] Hammer89: yup. That's why I don't run compiz on my 200 [07:23] nickrud: is that going to be fixed any time in the near future? [07:23] twentyafterfour: I am downloading the alternate CD maybe it is not an ISO sorry I am new at this so I don't know what all the terms mean. [07:23] bod_: thanks for the advice :) [07:23] enduser: the alternate cd is what you want [07:23] Hammer89: yes, the latest ati drivers don't require xserver-xgl. April will see it in ubuntu [07:23] bod_: Really weird, I got errors on different repositories when I tried yours: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54818/ [07:24] enduser: you should be on the right track, good luck [07:24] I'm trying to install subversion on my box, but when I say apt-get install subversion, it throws me a "Couldn't find package subversion"... any suggestions? [07:24] nickrud: awesome... I'll just hang on till then... compiz is more important to me now than direct rendering [07:24] enduser: you should probably think about getting more ram though [07:24] levander, that was actually me editing yours,. il give you my one, 1 sec [07:24] i hate winter\ [07:24] bod_: I'm wondering if it's because I don't have certain apt-key's installed??? [07:25] twentyafterfour: that is what is almost downloaded may done in 5 more munites. Where would I buy more ram for this old thing? [07:25] MoLE_: any thoughts? [07:25] enduser, u would not believe the amount of ram thats buyable online for the old g3's [07:25] enduser: what kind of g3? It probably uses pc100 or pc133 [07:25] Gm4n: system->admin->software sources, make sure the first four items are selected and the cdrom is not [07:25] levander, this is my one : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54819/ [07:26] nickrud: just curious... will upgrading from 7.10 to the newest release in April mess up my desktop setup/theming? [07:26] Hammer89: no. [07:26] st3v3dnd, pastebin your xorg.conf file (in /etc/X11/) and I'll have a look. [07:26] twentyafterfour and gilda: here are the specs http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/powerbook_g3/stats/powerbook_g3_333.html [07:26] nickrud: good :P [07:27] Hammer89: but the general rule of thumb still applies: back up before upgrading to a new release ;-P [07:27] this is the key part for when u purchase more ram to know enduser Supports 144-pin PC100 SDRAM SO-DIMM memory modules. [07:27] http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/category/category_slc.asp?CatId=552&Nav=|c:150|&Sort=0&Recs=10 [07:27] Hi, I upgraded to ubuntu gutsy. Now alt-tab works, but shift-alt-tab (which works like alt-tab but goes in the other direction) doesn't work. [07:27] nickrud: aye... not sure how to back everything up though... especially with themes/settings/etc [07:28] was 7.10 released 2007 ? [07:28] sorry enduser: pc100 sdram for a laptop is $20 for 128mb: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/category/category_slc.asp?CatId=552&Nav=|c:150|&Sort=0&Recs=10 [07:28] Hammer89: back up your home directory. All your settings are in files/directories that start with a period in that directory [07:28] MoLE_: http://pastebin.com/m1fe4e75a [07:28] bod_: ubuntu release versions are year.month [07:28] thats the 144 pin twentyafterfour ? [07:28] nickrud: Hmm... okay [07:29] Hammer89: try ls -a in a terminal [07:29] gilda: not sure [07:29] Hammer89: ls -a ~ that is [07:29] gilda: yes [07:29] good lol [07:29] astro76, kk,. ta, so gutsy has only been out about 6 months then will be replaced,.,.lol [07:29] !lol [07:29] Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. [07:29] greetings earthlings. anyone know of a way to convert an svg to a pdf? [07:29] nickrud: I've got hidden files set to be visible from nautilus [07:29] ,.,.laugh out loud [07:30] haha [07:30] thanks, nickrud, that did it for me :) [07:30] Hammer89: then you can see them all. A good tool for backups is sbackup [07:30] bod_: yes a big part of ubuntu is regular releases every six-months [07:30] ubotu: anti-lulz [07:30] Sorry, I don't know anything about anti-lulz - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [07:30] twentyafterfour gilda: I don't know the ram might have been updated. I guess I have to get it running before I can check. [07:30] its very up to day [07:30] date [07:30] So does anyone know where gnome's menu-lists are stored on the system? [07:31] :-) [07:31] twentyafterfour gilda: unless you guys know a way to check without an os on the machine. [07:31] nickrud: I've got sbackup installed... not sure how to use it though... there's no man page? [07:31] Where's a good place for somebody to ask about getting wine working under ubuntu? [07:31] they are not stored under ~ [07:31] astro76, but they dont start from scratch? each new release is just a modification of the previous? [07:31] st3v3dnd, it looks fine - have you tried changing the resolution using system --> admin --> screens and graphics? [07:31] Gm4n: you should probably check that dialog , the updates tab and enable the security and updates as well. Don't enable proposed unless you are good at bug reports ;) [07:31] enduser ur bios should know but fekked if i know how to find that on an old g3 [07:31] enduser: not sure about macs [07:31] its probly command+c or sumething [07:32] hey all, general linux question... does anyone know if linux has better hardware control than windows? Or is it just different? [07:32] nickrud, this is actually for a friend. I'm a debian user myself ;-) [07:32] Hammer89: no, but the default backup is pretty good [07:32] bod_: That's more or less correct, it would be accurate to phrase it as "a regular overall update every 6 months". [07:32] mkquist: control? [07:32] gilda: 64mb should run but it might not be very fast, go ahead and try the install. [07:32] mkquist, what do you mean by "hardware control" [07:32] it doesn't give it as an option. [07:32] Gm4n: heh. Then you should have been able to track that source issue down yourself (lol, since it's a long line ;) [07:32] bod_: no of course not from scratch... somewhere in every six-month cycle it is synced up with debian, keeping any ubuntu patches if still necessary [07:32] xrandr -q doesn't show it either [07:32] i didnt say it wouldnt twentyafterfour that was some1 else [07:33] gilda: how do I get to the bios? [07:33] st3v3dnd, are you still in 'bulletproof X' mode? [07:33] well, got a little kinda dodgey machine that seems to work in linux, but only in windows w/a separate ata controller... With linux, it usually works with the onboard ata controller... [07:33] probably so, nickrud, but I've never seen ubuntu, and I'm used to non-CD sources included by default. I figured it was something you guys would know off the top of your head =P [07:33] not sure enduser for ur mac [07:33] Anybody know how much of the tweaking & etc I'll hvae to re-do after updating to gutsy? [07:33] gilda: sorry didn't try to suggest that you did say that ;) [07:33] What's the command to show what version of Linux you're running? [07:33] gilda: sorry I just understood fekked. [07:33] MoLE_: not sure what you mean, it's just booting X normally though [07:33] puff, astro76, im just sorta makin sure when i upgrade to hardy im not gonna have to wade through bugs for months untill they're all fixed,. like i would have to say on windows vista the day it was released [07:34] Hemebond: uname -a [07:34] Thank you. [07:34] st3v3dnd, what's the maximum resolution you can get? [07:34] endusers: macs don't have the normal bios afaik [07:34] Gm4n: yeah, that was a text replace in xchat. See it often. But your best source of support for ubuntu is still going to be your debian skills. [07:34] its not a ms bash question... just a question... [07:34] 1152x864 [07:34] ....rawr! [07:34] MoLE_: 1152x864 [07:34] mkquist, some ppl notice that linux runs the hw they have better others dont - it depends onthe applications u choose and the way u work ur hw [07:35] idk, maybe this should be a question in #debian... [07:35] mkquist: should be OK. unless your hardware are cutting-edge. [07:35] I'm planning on applying those (if/when needed, debian is pretty friendly so maybe I won't have to). Thanks for the help, nickrud :) [07:35] bod_: I either run the pre-release ubuntus, or wait a month. Same things [07:35] st3v3dnd, is an onboard video card? [07:35] MoLE_: yes [07:35] twentyafterfour gilda the cd is downloaded I am going to burn it and then give it a try. I will keep you posted in a few minutes. [07:35] thekayhan, if i am installing on the partition which i created early ,it is working fine but my prob is im not able to install if i create a fresh partition thro ubiquity ? [07:35] nickrud, to make sure theres no buggies? [07:35] MoLE_: it displayed higher than that though before this [07:35] st3v3dnd, was the colour depth the same before? [07:36] hardly cutting edge, a box i got running windows. Came with another form of linux, like pclinux (i think that was it). But the only way to run windows was w/ a pci ata controller [07:36] Gm4n: I switched to ubuntu so I didn't have deal with unstable anymore, and spend some time here so I don't get rusty. I have zero problems on my installs [07:36] MoLE_: yes [07:36] bod_: yup [07:36] mkquist: should be OK. give livecd a try [07:36] !livecd [07:36] The Ubuntu Desktop CD is a "LiveCD" which can be run without altering existing files on your harddrive. Especially useful for testing your hardware's compatibility, it also includes an install option. [07:36] nickrud will i be disapointed if i upgrade to hardy in april? [07:36] live cd works w/xubuntu [07:37] st3v3dnd, so what happened when it changed? [07:37] mkquist: so get a image burn it off and there ya go. solve! [07:37] toss it on give it a whirl mkquist see what u think after a while [07:37] bod_: doubt it highly. The last LTS release was rock solid (but they pushed back the release 2 months to deal with issues, I would be pleased if they did that again, it worked out very well in the long run) [07:37] no that I know. Im running gutsy on my machines. I like it, but this is for someone else. A windows person [07:38] MoLE_: When I hooked up the new monitor, and configured it, first auto detect screwed it up [07:38] ah depends on what the windows person does before you convert them mkquist [07:38] then a manual reconfig got me to where I am now [07:38] thanks all, just curious if there was any 'definitive' thoughts on it. Maybe it's just one of those things [07:38] nickrud, so your hoping for a june release date? if it was june would you still wait your month or upgrade in june? [07:39] youll want to get all their favorite stuffs in order and whatnot [07:39] gilda: well, they just might convert thru no choice... =p [07:39] mkquist: yeah it is. just tell him to give livecd a try and see how ti goes. [07:39] st3v3dnd, Are you sure that your monitor can handle 1680x1050? [07:39] that works to *eg* mkquist [07:39] Poka: yea that was kinda my thought [07:39] MoLE_: Yes, that's its default resolution [07:39] :) [07:39] bod_: not hoping for a june release, just pleased if they decided to push it back to make it better if needed. And I will install it in a prerelease version, then reinstall when it's released [07:40] nickrud, pre-release - beta ? [07:40] as usual thanx all [07:40] st3v3dnd, you can forcefully declare the resolutions in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf if you believe the machine can handle it [07:40] bod_: yeah, probably the first release candidate, a month or less before release [07:40] mkquist: yw [07:40] but ull want to make sure the refresh rates r correct [07:40] st3v3dnd, what you could try is backup your working xorg.conf and then edit the "screen" section so that the only mode available is 1680x1050. Stick with 24 bit colour. Then restart the x-server (logout then login again) [07:40] gilda: most of the modern lcd/crts are intelligent enough i believe [07:40] gilda: I have afaik. they get ignored [07:41] gilda: they can self-adjust their res. [07:41] MoLE_: I tried that, it ignores it and drops it to 800x600 [07:41] nickrud, cool,.,.so beta prob in march? [07:41] bod_: probable [07:41] Poka, i have a methusala of an old ibm monitor not up to standards on the new stuffs ;) [07:41] What is meant by "desktop search tool"? [07:41] gilda: ;) [07:41] guys, I've never installed ubuntu (im a gentoo user) but im guiding someone else through it [07:41] and he is here [07:41] http://img128.imageshack.us/my.php?image=zomgzqi9.png [07:41] bullgard1: like google desktop search [07:41] nickrud, can u link me to a page with the major changes info on hardy? [07:41] no so then ;) [07:41] does this mean it would format his windows partition? [07:42] does this mean it would format his windows partition? http://img128.imageshack.us/my.php?image=zomgzqi9.png [07:42] st3v3dnd, must be a problem with monitor refresh rates. Did you know you can import a windows .inf file for an unknown monitor if you have the driver CD? [07:42] MoLE_: I'll give that a shot [07:42] bod_: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/+specs?show=all [07:42] !enter | Rictoo [07:42] Rictoo: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [07:42] Sorry [07:42] nickrud, thankin you muchly [07:43] Rictoo, you may want him to use the guided partitioning - but if u do not *check* the ntfs partition u should be good to go [07:43] ubotu: factoids, u has them [07:43] st3v3dnd, if 'plug and play' doesn't work and your monitor isn't listed, you could try a generic monitor at the appropriate resolution as well [07:43] nickrud, any idea what this is : windows-authentication-integration [07:43] nickrud: But I do not know "Google desktop search" either. [07:44] gilda: He did, but how come on the picture it says ntfs Used: 0mb? [07:44] hi again [07:45] where can i get information about linux-headers and linux-image [07:45] and whats their purpose [07:45] Rictoo, i am not sure - its been eons since i had win on a puter to see ntfs pop up [07:46] but could be related to it not using ntfs-3g and not reading the partition correctly ? [07:46] kaushal: linux-image is your kernel.. that is what linux is [07:46] well - Rictoo, if there is nothing saying NTFS on it, you're DELETING your NTFS partition... [07:46] Slart: Thanks [07:46] and what about linux-headers [07:46] friedtofu: there is [07:46] http://img128.imageshack.us/my.php?image=zomgzqi9.png [07:46] look at that, friedtofu [07:47] kaushal: headers contain information about the kernel.. for programmers and when you're compiling software that needs to work with the kernel [07:47] ah. yeah - why does it say 0 used? [07:47] if you have him drop to cmd with and sudo fdisk /dev/sda1 then p to double check [07:47] I'm just confused as to why it shows the ntfs part as 0mb used [07:47] no idea [07:47] levander, did you try my sources.list ? [07:47] he did the guided partitioning [07:47] hm. [07:47] Slart: Thanks Again [07:47] you're welcome, kaushal [07:48] Can i have the documentation for this [07:48] that would be great [07:48] can anyone recomend some resources for overclocking an ATI in linux/ubuntu?

[07:56] * nickrud doesn't want windows software roaming around his system, root or not [07:56] seeing as how its basically a virtual machine, nothing should get past wine [07:56] unagi: eh.. wine is nothing like a virtual machine [07:56] wine is not a virtual machine [07:56] twentyafterfour and gilda: It is having some trouble finding CD-Rom Drivers. I don't have any, so I am going to try to continue by picking manually select CD-ROM modules. Cross your fingers.

[07:57] I've always wondered just how it isn't an emulator [07:57] dang [07:57] i would love it if i could get my tuner to work [07:57] nickrud: Are there more desktop search tools available in Ubuntu 7.10? [07:57] unagi, very differently. It's a whole different code base. [07:57] bullgard1: find [07:57] bullgard1: the only other one I know of is beagle [07:57] i think emultor usually refers to hardware. [07:57] but im just pulling that out my butt.

[07:58] what about this thing called crossover [07:59] MoLE_: alan http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emulator [07:59] master_obredar, crossover is wine with some refinements.

[08:01] I have my laptop connected through my desktop and I have NAT enabled with IPmasq. I can connect to my desktop from my laptop via ssh, but I can't connect to my laptop via my desktop. Is there a reason for this? Am I doing something wrong? [08:01] they just got wine to run photoshop cs2 apparently [08:01] it takes time to initiliaze [08:01] i'll be happy if they can just get the ipod store to work.

Going to restart X. Hopefully it goes as plannned. [08:05] 00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Unknown device 10c0 (rev 02) [08:05] twentyafterfour and gilda: I need to find drivers for the CD-ROM Drive. At this point I could skip this step and try to find them later, unless you guys have any leads? [08:05] is there a driver for this NIC Card [08:05] has xine been removed from the repos? [08:06] Package xine is not available, but is referred to by another package. [08:06] tie [08:06] Its an Onboard NIC Card [08:06] i installed this alpha like an idiot.. and now im regretting it. [08:07] although the disk mount thing is kind of cool. [08:07] any ideas [08:09] i'm new too linux and i'm really trying hard to learn [08:09] I am having the hardest time getting ubuntu to boot. I installed ubuntu to an external harddrive because I had given up on getting it to work with my RAID 0 configuration. The installation went fine but when I go to the boot menu to choose "USB Device" it throws an error and says there is a missing operating system.

[08:10] master [08:10] is it bot? [08:10] and mtab says that /dev/sda1 is mounted at /, which cant be true. [08:10] auto? [08:10] nien.

[08:14] alan: much shorter and no need for username ;) [08:14] poka, well done sir. [08:14] Has anyone here successfully installed ubuntu on a RAID0 system [08:15] kaushal: ok. have you tried so far? [08:15] twentyafterfour and gilda: Well it looks like the CD Rom driver thing was a bigger issue than I first thought. I am going to try installing from a USB and maybe hunt around for drivers tomorrow. [08:15] poka "says not owned by you" [08:15] ? [08:15] how i can restart iptables service ? [08:16] ables is no service (daemon in unix speak) [08:16] master_obredar: so not "owned" by you. :) [08:16] poka "says wine is not owned by you" [08:16] master_obredar: what you are trying to do is get into a hidden folder in your home directory called .wine === g4dist_p4r4hy4ng is now known as cO_eMo_666 [08:16] !iptables [08:16] 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).

Thanks again for your help. [08:17] how do you manage groups ? [08:17] (well, in my opinion of course) [08:17] enduser: good luck [08:17] ya ofcourse [08:17] I get a no input signal. go to power save after installing restricted drivers or envy for my nvidia 8600 gt [08:17] master_obredar: in order for you to run any sort of windows application "naively" you need to run it with wine. [08:17] honestly i don't know anything about groups, what do you mean exactly? [08:17] i'm trying too [08:18] lex [08:18] there is an option in left panel [08:18] master_obredar: right. so what you need to do is get to the directory where you installed the executable. [08:18] to creae custom groups [08:18] master_obredar: though i dont even know if that will run in wine. [08:18] twentyafterfour: Thanks, I hope I see you here again some time. [08:18] so I want to create with the tracker names [08:19] i followed the install instruction from wine and it says that its installed but how do i access it [08:19] I have a dazzle 80 video capture device, and I'm trying to get it to work with ubuntu ('kino' specifically). I have it plugged in, the light is on, but I have no idea what the heck to do now. How do I get this to work? [08:19] master_obredar: actually i just read it does. [08:19] and use it [08:19] right [08:19] i wanna learn more about linux but at the same time i want my drivers to work correctly. everything i have tried so far has failed horribly. i was wondering if i should try another distribution and see if it works on it, would this be a good idea? [08:19] cd ~/.wine/ in the terminal [08:19] it will take you to that directory [08:19] then type dir [08:19] and it will probably show you a directory called c i think [08:20] just like C:\ [08:20] alan ok now what [08:20] when you typed dir did you see 'c'? [08:20] dir [08:21] yes [08:21] ok now cd c [08:21] cd means change directory btw. [08:21] dir lists whats in the current direcotry [08:21] cd c [08:21] says no such directory [08:22] i thought when you typed in dir it showed you a 'c' directory?

[08:30] any1 have some time to hel a total beginner?just a simple question:) [08:30] fdsafdsafew, probably because there isnt anything illegal about it. [08:30] reverse engineering isn't illegal [08:30] nope. [08:30] it says operation not permitted [08:31] how do you turn off enter messages in irc ? [08:31] master_obredar: i really dont know how to help you much furter.. that should just run [08:31] im on irssi [08:31] further rather === Aloha__ is now known as Aloha [08:31] lol alan think carefully [08:31] master_obredar: $sudo chown -R master_obredar ~/.wine (if you are in /etc/sudoers) [08:31] is packages.ubuntu.com down? [08:32] !netsplit [08:32] nice [08:32] jscinoz seems so [08:32] poka it turns windows into a runtime environment, but windows is nonfree [08:32] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [08:32] fdsafdsafew: reverse engineering isnt illegal as far as i know. [08:32] wine doesnt allow reverse engineered code [08:32] though im sure its in there somewhere [08:32] jscinoz: For me, too [08:32] >_< [08:32] fdsafdsafew: bah. [08:33] fdsafdsafew well if you're sure its in there go look :P thats how FOSS works :P [08:33] fdsafdsafew: its all reverse engineered one way or another.

Should work [08:34] says no such file directory [08:34] mr_ gimp should just allow you to open the file and save it as a png [08:34] sup [08:34] and it wont let me install windows xp [08:34] sorry I should reword it, if I remove firefox will it bugger up ubuntu ? [08:35] alan documentation is not reverse engineering [08:35] vanchu: nope [08:35] Don't think so [08:35] lol cool thanks [08:35] !lol | vanchu [08:35] vanchu: Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. [08:35] fdsafdsafew, its mental reverse engineering [08:35] ok, so i have this computer, that i *should* be able to run ubuntu on, but it doesnt agree with any live cds or similar, so i figured i could use my main computer that will correctly run a ubuntu boot disk to install to the hardrive i plan to use on the other computer[its a 6 gig wd] and then throw it in, then run some command as i recall reading about someone doing something similar on the forums, both computers run an celeron, this [08:35] is there a way to install xp as sacond os like it was [08:35] alan , just wrote /connect irc.undernet.net but it says Unknown command.

[08:36] sean, most people use irc clients that highlight messages with their names in it, makes ite easy to tell when something needs attention [08:37] poka yes, nor esponse and there arent too many people there so it may be a while until someone responds [08:37] sss [08:37] \ [08:37] i can read everything, but my ADD doesnt help.

I managed to get my own usplash working my first ubuntu pc, but not on the second one. Both have usplash installed, both have /usr/lib/usplash.so added to the alternatives system, both have had "sudo dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-$(uname -r)" and "sudo update-initramfs -u" executed, they have identical Ubuntu versions and GRUB configs. What could I have forgotten to do on the second one? [08:56] (err, I mean both have /usr/lib/usplash/mytheme.so) [08:57] Master, the recommended method is to repartition the whole she-bang, make one partition of about 15-20 G and install Windows XP on it. Then boot in with Linux, and install it on te remaining space [08:57] <_Leppy> sean, usually if you have a two way receptor, the nix side is controlling the ip tables and directions while the ms side is taking care of domain names and administration rights [08:57] http://forceindiaf1.freeblog.hu/ [08:57] oh ! [08:58] The grub loader will recognize the Windows and cater for it while making the boot menu [08:58] <_Leppy> it's how they are doing the laptop for each child program, they implimented a full blown mesh network with one complete sat system setup [08:58] How do I install flash player for Ubuntu's 64 bit version ? [08:58] mmmm i see [08:59] http://forceindiaf1.freeblog.hu/ [08:59] <_Leppy> in each village allowing for infrastructure without infrastructure. it's almost like virtualization [08:59] i guess i really need to come up to speed if i expect to keep a job in the future......???? [08:59] <_Leppy> tarele, try going to www.getautomatix.com [08:59] ok im back the grub says that windows xp is there but it wont let me into it [08:59] <_Leppy> get that app and it will automatically install everything you need and then some [08:59] !automatix [08:59] automatix is not recommended, supported or needed. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubotu WorksForMe » [09:00] Won't let you into it ? Meaning ? [09:00] <_Leppy> 0_o [09:00] hej guys i really hate to bug u again but still cant conn. to undernet? tried both things "/server irc.undernet.net" but just says unknown command.is there a settings i should anaible, or some other stuff.just started using ubuntu and its kinda hard finding a way around:) [09:00] _Leppy, it also does stuff that breaks stuff pretty badly [09:00] <_Leppy> well it's a newbler way of doing things. [09:00] it reboots only lets me into ubuntu [09:00] <_Leppy> lol [09:00] <_Leppy> ok ok so what's similar that won't make everything fubar [09:01] Then what you will have to do is re-install windows xp, boot into the machine with a live cd and restore grub [09:01] it wont let me says not big enough partition [09:02] if i could some how remove a few of the partitions it will let me load winxp [09:02] kornelius why join undernet when you are here now? [09:02] Shite! In that case, Master, buddy, ther IS no alternative. Back up your important stuff and wipe it out [09:02] You can't remove partitions without knowng what is in them [09:03] Kalamansi: couse i have couple of friends who can help me with Ubuntu problems:) i hate bugging ppl here with lame questiones:) [09:03] hello how to work with yahoo messenger with voice and webcam?

[09:05] the voice in gyachE has issues with 64bit [09:06] Master, in this case you will have to wipe the whole thing off and start absolutely fresh [09:06] !ubuntu [09:06] Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support.

I've installed usplash and "mytheme", added /usr/lib/usplash/mytheme.so to the alternatives system, updated the initramfs, set vga=791. Yet, it doesn't show the splash on boot (it does on shutdown and when manually invoked). About the same sequence of steps made usplash work for me on another ubuntu pc with the same version, though. Could anyone help? [09:06] 'is there anyway to remove a few partition and then put winxp on [09:06] the best I have found till date is http://www.ubuntuforums.org/ [09:06] How do I switch to Metacity instead of Compiz? [09:07] dont use compiz [09:07] or metacity --replace [09:07] master, I won't recommend since your windows partition is at one end of the disk and the partitions you can remove are at the other [09:08] Well how do I use anything other than Compiz? It is standard in a Gutsy install. [09:08] man ill just screw it up again cause i dont know what im doing [09:08] if you open up terminal and type metacity --replace [09:08] <_Leppy> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metacity [09:08] <_Leppy> justice - go there [09:08] it will disable compiz fusion [09:08] it's better to wipe the whole thing and do it right the second time round.

[09:31] i cannot [09:31] that's the problem [09:32] when i attempt to boot it gives me this: Int 14: CR2 cf800000 err 00000000 EIP c020c384 CS 00000060 flags 00010007 [09:32] Stack: c00f7d50 c03f129b c0371d8c 00000002 c00f7d59 000f7d50 00000000 00000000 [09:32] one of the posited solutions is to edit menu.lst [09:33] whats the command to upgrade ubuntu (5.10) to the latest version? :( [09:33] so that "linux acpi=off" [09:33] Hypermagic2: You'll have a 'recovery mode' entry in your default grub list... does booting from there also give the same error? [09:33] oh well [09:33] i just installed it a few mins ago, give me a moment to try that option [09:33] Hypermagic2: Okay. [09:34] I do not have recovery mode [09:34] ok someone please help i have been trying to figure out how to mount my ipod via ipod-convenience for the past three hours when i attempt to mount i get an error saying "root@192.168.1.3:/var/root/Media: No such file or directory" [09:34] even in the advanced menu [09:35] i have not yet successfully booted into it [09:35] i cant seem to open anything with wine cause it says that i dont own it === josiah__ is now known as JosiahW [09:36] it gave me the same error upon installation, however adding that command line allowed it to boot from the live cd [09:36] and it let me run the install [09:36] ok someone please help i have been trying to figure out how to mount my ipod via ipod-convenience for the past three hours when i attempt to mount i get an error saying "root@192.168.1.3:/var/root/Media: No such file or directory" [09:36] now it won't let me into the OS to edit menu.lst to put the same argument in grub [09:36] hi [09:37] I'm thinking of replacing grub with GFX Grub. I am using Ubuntu 64. Does it work with 64bit or is grub unaffected by the OS being 32bit or 64bit? [09:37] how do I upgrade from breezy badger to Feisty Fawn ? :( [09:37] !upgrade > wil22 [09:38] I'm having some sound problems it seems like my sound just stoped owrking [09:38] Hypermagic2: That is a kernel parameter... to pass that using grub... Press 'e' twice on your Ubuntu entry in the grub list... after that, append 'apci=off' to the line you'll be currently editing... press 'Esc' and then 'b'... [09:38] it was working before and it just broke all of a sudden [09:38] Well, the nonfree plugin/install for flash been down for long? [09:38] oh well thank anyways [09:38] i dont know what it was [09:38] tarelerulz: yep [09:39] thank you. i will try that. [09:39] is it worth upgrading from 7.04 to 7.10 ubuntu 64bit [09:39] is it ok if i ask a question? my question is, is it ok to ask a question? [09:39] Hypermagic2: Welcome. [09:39] i personally always keep up to date [09:39] hey can someone help me in diagnosing the problem with my sound [09:40] you never know when some error you get is because you didnt update [09:40] how does one own wine [09:40] apt-get install wine [09:40] !sound > eternalist [09:40] that lets you own it pretty well [09:40] just I upgraded and my wireless seems to have issues! :( [09:40] I read the how to for 64bit firefox and install flash and it says the install/plug is broke ,but don't say anything and a the rest is for before 7.10 . I am lost [09:40] dont hate me for saying this... I know in windows, I always do fresh installs as upgrades go crap... I was wondering if it is recommended to upgrade or do fresh installs in ubuntu?

[09:41] ewww, whenever i upgrade my wireless works better [09:41] wil22: I'll say for distribution upgrades, go for fresh installs, for software updates, you can trust apt. [09:41] same error [09:42] hmm, webcams are a pain, plane and simple, you gotta find out what driver works with it, then find an app that will call on that driver [09:42] thanks [09:42] seems that the wireless pci card has IRQ error of some kind and if I force it to activate it just says something about timer expired [09:42] wil22, from more recent versions, upgrades work fine, but from Breezy etc, the older and now unsupported versions, a fresh install would be better [09:42] fdsafdsafew, so how do I find out what driver works with it? [09:42] google [09:43] vip3r can master chmod wine so that he can own it?

Anyone knows what's causing this? [09:53] Hi guys - I've installed Gutsy desktop successfully. However during the entire boot phase my screen is blank (black) and I only see things when Ubuntu desktop login is ready - from then on it works perfectly. So basically, I don't see Ubuntu's orange boot-phase progress bar etc. [09:53] whats wrong with your touch pad? [09:53] join last [09:53] cafaro isnt it apt-cache search [09:53] not apt-get cache search [09:53] and i think default it searches descriptions [09:54] And the same for Ubuntu's shut-down phase progress bar - blank screen [09:54] if my thumb touched it when I'm typing my cursor will jump to the middle of the line that I'm typing [09:54] then cause me to type words in other words [09:54] I dont know if that makes sence [09:54] o yeah it does [09:54] that's what I meant fdsafdsafew [09:54] advanced windows driver will let you enable those kinds of features [09:55] like palm protect [09:55] sensativity [09:55] cool [09:55] no thats not a linux thing i mean i know what youre talking about [09:55] cause i have seen the synaptics driver utility in windows [09:55] so many features on that thing [09:55] i dont know how much configuring you can do in linux with something like that [09:55] i can adjust speed, thats about it [09:56] I hope I can fix it [09:56] but i havent gone in depth searching for more [09:56] lol [09:56] it drives me nuts [09:56] i just dont touch the pad at all when im typing [09:56] fdsafdsafew, did you get a link for that paste? [09:56] I'm learning to do that [09:57] brizben sorry i didnt know you wanted it i was waiting for a confirmation [09:57] ill do it now [09:57] http://pastebin.ca/892339 [09:57] fdsafdsafew, ok sorry thank you very much for your help [09:57] its ubuntu repos and linux mint repos.

The box that should be the game is gray. I guess that plugin for Ubuntu 64 bit is broken too . and flash too [09:59] oh i didnt know it was not working eric [09:59] fdsafdsafew: nah [09:59] i'm trying to remap them to _not_ change the sensitivity [09:59] i think he wants to perform actions with them [09:59] the setpoint software for windows lets you remap them to do whatever [09:59] i'd also love to know this [10:00] but ubuntu doesn't seem to recognize the buttons at all === josh1 is now known as Joshx1 [10:00] hmm, do you know if ubuntu is at least getting a keypress? [10:00] i wouldn't know how to check [10:00] unless that's what xev does [10:00] in which case the answer is no [10:00] xev shows nothing [10:01] How do I mount a HardDrive with a space in it [10:01] 's name? [10:01] hmm, compiz will let you set buttons by pressing buttons, so if you set it to do that and press one of those buttons compiz will tell you what it is, and of course set it as the command for whatever [10:01] I've tried sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/Local\ Disk/ [10:01] http://forceindiaf1.freeblog.hu/ [10:01] but as far as making it launch an application, i dont know what you would do, but if that works you at least know its receiving a keypress [10:01] hmm [10:02] then just find a software that will redirect key presses to commands [10:02] fdsafdsafew: where would i find these settings? [10:02] hold on ill find out [10:02] i've only been using ubuntu for 2 days so yeah [10:02] Joshx1: try putting it in quotes? [10:03] yes [10:03] "/media/Local Disk/" [10:03] it will work with anything you have to initiate [10:03] like rotate cube [10:03] you could make a certain key rotate your cube right or left [10:03] i've tried "/media/Local Disk", /media/"Local Disk" .. :s [10:04] i dont think it sets the action buttin by keypress [10:04] fdsafdsafew: oh, nah [10:04] you have to actually type in the name of the button [10:04] none of the programs i've tried have recognized the buttons at all [10:04] problem is, i'm not sure what the mapping for those buttons even are [10:04] X definitely isn't seeing it [10:05] When I'm searching packages with "apt-cache search", I can't find a lot of packages (like BitchX). Anyone knows what's causing this?

[10:25] i mostly just want to have windows on a seperate drive so i can play my WINDOWS ONLY games [10:25] peleg, thanks for the information. I'll look into it. [10:25] because Wine and all those other freebies dont work [10:25] Carbonflux, have you used what peleg is talking about? [10:25] Carbonflux, or at least know about it? [10:25] forget about wine... what's the point? [10:26] gluonman, I do a lot of programming with VS, its very different from the way I program in linux, I prefer linux tho, even tho it might seem more primitive there are also no black boxes, nothing is hidden in the end. [10:26] mitsanaga, why doesnt wine work?? [10:26] im not sure [10:26] wine makes a lot of problems. [10:26] Carbonflux, oh. I definitely love Linux. I don't think it's primitive at all. [10:26] Wasnt there a way to show current running processes under ubuntu? [10:26] i program with butterflies [10:26] We have linux, why try to get win softs? [10:26] its usually that its just missing a certain "driver" [10:26] Carbonflux, I've been using Linux for a while, but not for programming yet. [10:26] im running dreamweaver cs33 as we speak3 [10:26] Adys, ps -e [10:26] cheers [10:26] adys: in the monitor [10:27] gluonman, I have not tried it, but I like my command line heh, I never did experiment with IDEs in linux because learned C under unix many years ago and just got used to makefiles [10:27] got it thanks [10:27] oh, i know that it is possible to run windows stuff in linux, but for some reason it has been ..... impossible for me [10:27] they open their hands and let the delicate wings flap once [10:27] Again I will ask, maybe a new member here knows: [10:27] ?? [10:27] I have a difficulty with network/interfaces file [10:27] the disturbance rippes outwards, changing the follow of the eddy currents in the upper atmosphere [10:27] Carbonflux, well I'm just the opposite. I would love to get used to command line because I'm always up for a challenge. But I was a baby programmer in the Visual Studio environment, so it's what I'm used to. [10:27] peleg, kno3ws what? [10:27] I can't access internet (hence I use windows) [10:28] bod: the reason of why I'm a "traitor"... :-) [10:28] peleg, oh yeah,. i taritored you earlier,.,.lol,.,. why doesnt it work? [10:28] which acts as a lenses that deflects incoming cosmic rays, focusing them to strike the drive platter and flip the desired bit [10:28] I am lost if they have 64 bit java then why can't use that for your 64 bit firefox ? [10:28] gluonman, well I don't think you should give up on looking for a IDE, what peleg said might help, there is also one called Eclipse that alot of people like [10:28] did you set it with the gnome-network-manager ? [10:28] * Bodsda apologizes for his english today [10:28] I don't even have "wireless" in my network manager [10:28] * Bodsda blames his bad spelling on the government [10:28] carb: eclipse is quite heavy, I think. [10:29] Carbonflux, I have taken note of all of these programs. SciTE, KATE, Eclipse, and emacs. [10:29] oh it's a wireless card... [10:29] if anything im the traitor right now... im downloading windows as we speak so i can play my Windows only games [10:29] I'll look into each of them and figure out what works for me [10:29] gluonman, just have to take it slow or you will get frustrated because its not the same as windows stuff [10:29] peleg: check to see if you need to enable restricted drivers [10:29] Oh, of course. [10:29] sandr: I don't know what the problem is, actually. [10:30] gluonman, r u knew to linux programming? [10:30] there's something called ndiswrapper, it takes a windows inf file ( driver ) and wraps it in linux, but I have no experience with that; use this as last resort, check restriced drivers first [10:30] I've been using Linux long enough (and just programming only at the university's windows computers) that I understand how it can be with Linux. [10:30] how do you enable restricted drivers... cause that might fix ALOT of my problems [10:30] gluonman, some good programming channels on this server also, ##C, ##C++, etc. [10:30] Bodsda, I'm not knew to Linux, but I am knew to programming in Linux. [10:30] Bodsda: I uncommented all the lines beginning with deb, and I still can't find bitchx with: apt-cache search bitchx [10:30] gluonman, oh,.,. so you know bash then? [10:30] gluonman, you might try asking in some of those channels, or in the #linux channel etc [10:30] Bodsda, yes. [10:30] Carbonflux, thanks again. [10:30] System->Administration->Restricted Drivers [10:31] cafaro, just try sudo apt-get install bitchx or use synaptic [10:31] and then I followed HOWTOS that lead me to a situation where I don't even see "WIRELESS" in gnome network manager. [10:31] gluonman, python? [10:31] Bodsda, no. [10:31] Bodsda, C++ [10:31] Bodsda: E: Couldn't find package bitchx [10:31] gluonman, ah..,.,.,. me got scared of C when i tried,.,. i couldnt even follow the how-to for a hello world tuto [10:31] sandr: I have PRO/wireless there, checked, and "in use" [10:32] Bodsda, C++ is really my main language. [10:32] pele1: in case you didn't see this before ... check to see if you need to enable restricted drivers [10:32] hey guys, i'm trying to use Timevault for backup, however timevault-notifier doesn't start, and after about 5min, it states http://pastebin.com/d39c1e65b any ideas on how to fix this? [10:32] Bodsa: Same as me, I just do PHP [10:32] cafaro, your prob spelling wrong or its called something slightly diff,.,. just use synaptic [10:32] Joshx1, im doing bash and python [10:32] Bodsda, don't let C++ scare you too much. It just takes a long time and much damage to your hair to learn, but once you've learned it you can work wonders. [10:32] AFK [10:32] cafaro: apt-cache policy bitchx produces > 500 http://kr.archive.ubuntu.com gutsy/universe Packages [10:32] Joshx: I'm doing PHP mostly as well, and SciTE does the work perfectly. [10:33] Python is cool, I played around for a while with it but I'm more of a web guy. [10:33] I use eclipse. [10:33] gluonman, it wasnt really the scare3d bit,.,. it was the crap windows programmes,. and i couldnt understand all that compiling nonsense [10:33] hi, how can I add a something.desktop to a specific user's menu?(can it override the global one?) [10:33] cafaro: fwiw, bitchx seems to be dead. Try scrollz instead for a similar look n feel [10:33] sandr: are you with me? [10:33] Joshx1, i only know realy basic html,.,. not much else [10:33] Well, it's easy to mess up a C++ program. Very easy. It is kind of complicated. [10:34] hm, in gutsy my keyboard starts repeating some chars when i type them [10:34] like 8-10 times [10:34] What's the difference between C and C++ basically? [10:34] guys [10:34] C++ have OOP [10:34] i didnt understand why i couldnt just type print "Hello World" it was so overcomplicated [10:34] peleg, Carbonflux, I am going to get going now, but I appreciate your information and your help. [10:34] i made a 3D artwork [10:34] can u tell me what you guys think of it http://store.picbg.net/pubpic/FE/47/3da73df9d7b1fe47.jpg [10:34] cheers [10:34] Oh ok thanks. [10:34] Joshx1: C++ have classes and are a diffrent language =) [10:34] its made with blender 3d [10:35] P5YCH00, haha,. very funny [10:35] cu gluonman :) [10:35] Oh ok. [10:35] P5YCH00, this is a support channel [10:35] does anyone have any opinions on how stable the ntfs-g3 stuff is ? say for example I wanted to use a NTFS drive for storing data. [10:35] if you actually made that with blender and no photoshopping afterwards then your great [10:35] >=| [10:35] if you didnt, you have a very bad sense of humor [10:36] hey it wasnt humor [10:36] P5YCH00, but why are you tricking people to look at an almost naked bloke? [10:36] i accidently stumbled onto then [10:36] I might give c++ a try. [10:36] i felt liked sharing the PAIN [10:36] >;\ [10:36] But I code in PHP for work for 8 hours+ a day. :P [10:36] grrrrr, how can I disable the gnome network thingy? [10:36] P5YCH00, share it elsewhere [10:36] P5YCH00, i actually thought u could use blender (i tried and failed) damn you and your man in whites [10:37] phix, find out waot its pid is then sigkill it [10:37] SleepingSloth, did you get fooled to? [10:37] gaim / pidgin just sits there waiting for the network to "come up", but it is up, it is just the gnome network thingy telling it the network is down [10:37] I am using a bridge [10:37] I dont want DHCP enabled on eth0 [10:38] phix, [10:38] Bodsda: I dont know it [10:38] pele1: [10:38] maybe we can make research together? [10:38] yay [10:38] phix, does it show up in top ? [10:38] Bodsa, well, it's irrelevant, but yes. i posted before i clicked, if that helps. i've seen people kicked and banned for less... [10:38] you have the same issue? [10:38] Bodsda: I dont know what it is called [10:38] Bodsda: I am sure it does show up in top [10:38] oh [10:38] phix: you need to change your settings to manual if you don't want to use DHCP, and you will probably have to restart networking as well [10:38] phix, there are a few things in sessions you can try, if its not there its in services [10:38] Hi, Is there any program that can map a program to the port it is using [10:38] ya or that [10:38] any advice for a good ftp client under linux btw? [10:38] pajamian: I dont wnt to assign an IP address to my interface as I am using a bridge [10:39] the interface I want DHCP enabled is br0 [10:39] yet that is not a choice [10:39] I have an issue with an upgrade from 7.04 to 7.10 64 bit , my wireless stopped working after update and the syslog just says that the firmware is uploaded and complete ver 1.0.4.3 no 'reset complete' IRQ seen, retrying, interface reset failed. card socket may be faulty or IRQ line to busy. [10:39] Adys: ncftp [10:39] Flux-D, nmap [10:39] Adys, gftp, kasablanca, kftpgrabber [10:39] filezilla [10:39] phix: youy mean you want to go through br0 instead of eth0? [10:39] phix: I have read this page: [10:39] Ill go with gftp then thanks :) [10:39] pajamian: yes [10:39] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202834 [10:40] pajamian: I want gnome network to STFU and let me use a bridge (br0) instead of telling the network is down because eth0 doesnt have an address assigned to it [10:40] does anyone have an 8800gt or 8800gts 512mb [10:40] gFtp made me cry. [10:40] phix, did you disable the network applet in the sessions dialog ? [10:40] phix: phrases like STFU are NOT welcome or appropirate for this channel [10:40] phix: hearing you and I think you might help me more I can help you... [10:40] ikonia: oh ok :) [10:41] josh: made me cry as well [10:41] phix: if you can't describe a problem without using offensive phrases or language - don't [10:41] phix system->preferences->sessions [10:41] did you try the "kftpgrabber"? [10:41] pele1: you are having wifi issues? [10:41] phix: that's a bit beyond me, unfortunately, you may have to edit some files for that, I don't know. try restarting networking, though: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [10:41] ikonia: hmmmm it makes me feel better :) [10:41] The best way to pick what you like is to test everything. With ubuntu it's so easy. [10:41] nobody? [10:41] phix: yes. I am trying to configure /etc/network file [10:41] I have a 8800gts [10:41] can't make it work [10:41] ikonia: ok I have calmed down, what should I do? [10:41] pele1: ok [10:41] phix: describe the problem in simple clear english please. [10:41] Joshx1: how did u get nvidia drivers working [10:42] phix: you can solve your problem first... [10:42] ikonia: sure thing, gaim will not connect to network as it tells me it is waiting for the network to become available [10:42] I'm here, we can speak about it a bit later if you prefer. [10:42] i couldn't figure it out at the time [10:42] phix: ok - is the network available, what type of network is it (wirless/wired local/internet) [10:42] ikonia: The icon in the system tray / notifaction bar tells me the network is down. if I bring it up it tries to use DHCP on eth0, which is what I dont want, I have setup a bridge in /etc/network/interfaces [10:42] ikonia: wired [10:42] there, hopefull now, once im done re upgrading my system to the latest updates and most recent apps i will be able to use my new wireless keyboard and webcam and wireless card [10:43] caf [10:43] phix: please put your /etc/interfaces files in a pastebin please. [10:43] phix: /etc/network/interfaces sorry [10:43] ikonia: my network works :) I am speaking to you from the computer [10:43] Hi guys - I've installed Gutsy desktop successfully. However during the entire boot phase my screen is blank (black) and I only see things when Ubuntu desktop login is ready - from then on it works perfectly. So basically, I don't see Ubuntu's orange boot-phase progress bar etc. [10:43] And the same for Ubuntu's shut-down phase progress bar - blank screen [10:43] phix: thats fine - please put the file I requested in the pastebin [10:43] ikonia: it is just gnome is telling me eth0 is down, but I dont care about that [10:44] ok [10:44] ciucia kust ki [10:44] apt tells me, it cant download " libgtk2.0-0". Where can i fetch the deb manually? [10:44] search in google... [10:44] mcp_: why can't it download it - is it not available, does it not exist in the repo [10:44] mcp_: getting gtk packages from an external source is not recommended [10:45] Could someone help please I have an issue with an upgrade from 7.04 to 7.10 64 bit , my wireless stopped working after update and the syslog just says that the firmware is uploaded and complete ver 1.0.4.3 no 'reset complete' IRQ seen, retrying, interface reset failed. card socket may be faulty or IRQ line to busy. [10:45] I need a pasting site [10:45] nm [10:45] topic :) [10:45] phix: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ [10:45] ikonia, synaptic shows it as installed. But i want to reinstall. Tried the global-menu-bar. Now i want go back to normal menu [10:45] pele1: yes :) [10:46] mcp_: ok - so why are you not re-installing through synaptic, putting a 3rd party conflicting deb on your system is not a good idea [10:46] hey guys, i'm trying to use Timevault for backup, however timevault-notifier doesn't start, and after about 5min, it states http://pastebin.com/d39c1e65b any ideas on how to fix this? [10:46] ikonia, reinstall is what causes the "could not download" message [10:46] mcp_: so as I said - why is it not available. [10:46] i have no idea [10:47] ikonia: do you think you can handle one more error (my error) at the moment? [10:47] You appear to be spamming the pastebin. I hate spammers so I won't let you. If you're not attempting to spam, please enable javascript so you can pass the antispam check [10:47] mcp_: right, so check the mirrors, try to download it manually from the same mirror, try another mirror, check if the package version has changed [10:47] wtf [10:47] javascript is enabled [10:47] fuck you@ [10:47] (also wifi) [10:47] phix: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

Its not in http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/libg/ [10:48] ikonia: hmmmm [10:48] any way [10:48] Hi, Is there any program that can map a program to the port it is using [10:49] mcp_: try just changing your server name to a new mirror in your sources.lst [10:49] list [10:49] ikonia: so why do you want to see my interface file for? it is nothing special [10:49] <_ruben> Flux-D: sudo netstat -lnp [10:49] _ruben, ty [10:49] hi, can I override system wide gnome menu items by putting a something.desktop file somewehere in a user's /home directory?

[10:50] ikonia: ok, fair enough, I have eth0 and ath0 (wifi), I have a bridge (br0) that bridges them together, it works great [10:50] ikonia: gnome network icon thingy is telling me my network is down (eth0) which is kind of true, it has no ip address assigned to it [10:50] phix: as I've just said - your desciption is not the same as seeing the file and how it's laid out. But as I've also said, I've no interest in helping someone who swears randomly.

[11:02] pele1: that looks like it can't actually see eth1 [11:02] pele1: as a physical device it appears it can't see it [11:03] pajamian, I mentioned my system wa weird? Well, I've been using linux a long time, and I made /boot only 50Mb, which used to be plenty big enough. My boot is no longer in /etc/fstab and I put my new kernels on /. I'm guessing that the linux kernel package did something confusing with relationg to /dev/sda1 (/boot, no longer in use) and /dev/sda2 (/, where /boot really is now) [11:03] pele1: if you do an ifconfig eth1 and an iwconfig eth1 do you see any details [11:03] ikonia: I don't even know what it means. I DOES see a network card in administration [11:04] ikonia: device not found [11:04] pele1: put the output of the two commands I mentioned into a pastebin please. Also what type of wirless card is this ? [11:04] ikonia: intel pro/wireless network connection driver for linux [11:04] ikonia: checked and "in use" [11:04] what is the name of the .so file for the normal ubuntu splash screen? [11:05] in a terminal, how do you check to see which Kernel you have running? [11:05] ShizzworX, ,am [11:05] ikonia: it CAN see eth0. how can I know what to choose? [11:05] ShizzworX, man uname [11:05] pele1: ok - so put the output of 1.) ifconfig -a into a pastebin and then put the output of iwconfig eth1 [11:05] dusty_, that is all? "man uname" ? [11:05] pele1: what do you mean what to choose ? does your laptop have a wired connect and a wirless card in it ? [11:05] /join ##slackware [11:06] JoshSN: ok, so you don't have a /boot partiton anymore, it's just under root and it's JFS (I think you said?) [11:06] ikonia: I don't know. I guess that I have both - or maybe it is on the same card? [11:06] ShizzworX: uname -a [11:06] pele1: do you have both - yes/no - eg: do you have a wirless connection and a slot to put a network card in [11:07] pajamian, no, not JFS. ext2 and ext3 only [11:07] ShizzworX, man == man pages (manual pages) and uname is the command to look at kernel information. run 'man uname' first. Read all that output, then run something like uname -a, uname -ar, etc.. [11:07] ikonia: I have both. but iwconfig shows no wireless extension for lo and for eth0. I think that eth1 was for wireless before. [11:07] JoshSN: ok, which is it? ext2 or ext3? [11:08] pele1: eth1 should be - but the fact that the device is not visable is a concern [11:08] ikonia: iwconfig totally ingnores eth1 [11:08] pajamian, checking, I see / is ext2 [11:08] ty Lorder ty dusty_ [11:08] ikonia: maybe I'll try to restart? [11:08] pele1: reboot so all the kernel modules are loaded correctly then lets start working it through [11:09] JoshSN: ok, hrmmmm, it really shouldn't have a problem with ext2, I just did the update myself and my /boot is ext2 and it works just fine, so not sure what could be causing it. [11:09] ikonia: rebooting [11:09] ikonia: thanks, I appreciate it. [11:10] how do i list what restricted drivers/modules I am running? someone PLEASE [11:10] problem with pptp, using network-manager-pptp, whant to connect tp secureix vpn, but the connection failed to connect, while can connect with xp vpn? [11:10] It has something to do with initrd, pajamian, I am pretty sure, but I really know very little about initrd [11:10] ogre: lsmod [11:10] ogre: or use the restricted driver manager in the gnome gui [11:10] ikonia: maybe it is important: I have a DELL inspiron 6400 (laptop) [11:10] pele1: that fine [11:11] JoshSN: unfortunately neitehr do I, I just know the basics of it. I don't think initrd kicks in until after the boot menu, though. [11:11] ikonia: iwconfig shows only lo and eth0 after reboot [11:11] ikonia: where is that? i spent all day setting up this sytem and i broke my wireless already :( [11:12] pajamian, well, that helps, thanks [11:12] pajamian, that was sincere, now I know it probably isn't initrd [11:12] pele1 so your network card is not visable as a device - has this ever worked ? [11:12] ogre: system --> administration --> restricted driver manager [11:12] ikonia: it is weird, because it worked in the last 4 days. [11:12] ikonia: I had it visible this morning [11:13] problem with pptp, using network-manager-pptp, whant to connect tp secureix vpn, but the connection failed to connect, while can connect with xp vpn- any idea? [11:13] pele1: so what have you done to make it go away - what have you changed [11:13] hello my friends, is there a way to remove all KDE apps at once without going through each program individually? [11:13] ikonia: I have changed only this file (interfaces) [11:13] JoshSN: my understanding of it is that initrd is used to mount a ram disk during boot with things such as loadable kernel modules, so that the boot process can support filesystems and other things that are not statically compiled into the kernel image. It is used after the boot menu if I understand correctly. [11:13] pele1: look in /var/log/messages to see if there is any hints to why eth1/intel card is not working [11:14] ikonia: I have the card visible in restricted drivers manager [11:14] pele1: but it's not visable to the system [11:14] I'll try restating the problem, see if it rings anyone else's bells. [11:14] hi all [11:14] hello my friends, is there a way to remove all KDE apps at once without going through each program individually? [11:14] can someone suggest a file compare tool? [11:14] ikonia: it says the ipw3945 driver is "not in use" i need some sort of linux-restricted-module package that i lost when set up VM. any advice? [11:14] hi, I need some help with the standard VNC stuff in ubuntu (yeah I have read !vnc) [11:15] * ShizzworX begins burning of the ubuntu 7.10 iso [11:15] I.e . are two files of the same size actually the same? [11:15] ikonia: I have some logs about eth1 [11:15] * ikonia wishes ShizzworX wouldn't use pointless /me commands in a busy channel [11:15] ikonia: "eth1: link is not ready" [11:15] pele1: pastebin them please. [11:15] Hi guys - I've installed Gutsy desktop successfully. However during the entire boot phase my screen is blank (black) and I only see things when Ubuntu desktop login is ready - from then on it works perfectly. So basically, I don't see Ubuntu's orange boot-phase progress bar etc. [11:15] ikonia: many times [11:15] I have removed /boot from /etc/fstab and been running my kernels from / succesfully for weeks. Last night apt-get update upgraded the (older) 2.6.22 kernel on my machine, and now I can't boot. The error message, right after grub starts, is something like Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) [11:16] pele1: thats not an error - thats because the device isn't there, we need to se why the device isn't there [11:16] No, that's not the error, it's like that, though. [11:16] g[r]eek, what kind of motherboard and graphics card do you have and did you also have the same problem with the liveCD ? [11:17] bert__ no livecd worked fine - it is a laptop - acer travelmate, ATI Mobility Radeon 9000 IGP === cE_cRi_cO_ is now known as Maya_20 [11:17] pptp problem, using network-manager-pptp, whant to connect tp secureix vpn, but the connection failed to connect, while can connect with xp vpn? [11:17] soommeeonnee plleeaasssee.. ive spent 15 hours setting this up and now wireless is wrecked already. I dont want to have to restart this! [11:17] I'm going to reboot into that mess again and see if I can't copy the error message verbatim. [11:17] try reinstalling the usplash and usplash-ubuntu packages (or something like that, don't know the names 100% sure), is it 32 or 64bit g[r]eek ? [11:18] ogre clam down [11:18] bert__: 32 bit. Ok I shall look into those packages thanks [11:18] calm down even [11:18] im just stressed [11:18] ogre well the rest of the channel don't need to hear about it - they just need the problem and time/knowledge to fix it [11:19] ogre: just wireless is messed up? if you can plug in a cable and get things working then it is very unlikely that a re-install will be necessary to get things to work. [11:19] bert__: How do I find out what the packages are called? Is there some way I can search the apt? [11:19] ikonia: not much: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54835/ [11:19] im trying to make the [11:19] what directory are the system icons kept in? [11:20] pele1: as I said - thats not the reason it's broke, thats a symptom [11:20] pajamian: i just need to know which linux-restricted-module????? has to do with ipw3945 [11:20] ogre: the package linux-restricted-module contains it [11:20] g[r]eek, just open synaptic and search for the keyword usplash [11:20] ogre: the restricted manager should help you [11:20] ikonia: yes, but I can't find "eth1" anywhere else in that file. shall I look for something eles? [11:20] pele1: dmesg | grep eth1 [11:20] cheesypieces: /usr/share/pixmaps and /usr/share/icons I think [11:20] bert__: Thanks for your help [11:20] anyone with an idea about a very high performance compiled laguage that can be used for mathematcal / statistical calculations on grid? [11:21] ikonia: can't it be just something in the interface file? you think it something worse? [11:21] something else is wrong [11:21] ikonia: well i seem to have that already [11:21] im trying to make the mplayer plugin but i get this http://pastebin.ca/892392 [11:21] eeos, a scripting language for use in programs like calc, or like jpgraph in PHP or like some kind of java or gtk stuff ? [11:21] thanks bert_ [11:21] ikonia: what about "lp: driver loaded but no devices found"? [11:21] pele1: thats for printers [11:22] ogre: back up a bit, what is happening? [11:22] hmm.. [11:22] ogre: then you should be fine - what's actually the problem [11:22] problem with pptp, using network-manager-pptp, whant to connect tp secureix vpn, but the connection failed to connect, while can connect with xp vpn? [11:22] pele1: there's a typo in your interfaces file: iface eth1 intet dhcp, intet should be inet [11:22] x-X-x: why are you compiling mplayer ? [11:22] becouse i want 1.5 not 1.4 [11:22] bert__: no! high erformance and compiled and usable on grid [11:22] x-X-x why ? [11:23] i am compiling mplayer mozilla plugin not mplayer [11:23] grml: thanks, it's a typo in the bin (manually copied) [11:23] x-X-x: again - why ? [11:23] sorry eeos, I don't really understand what you are searching for (that's perhaps because I'm not a native english speaker) [11:23] so i can play windows media embedded videos [11:23] ikonia: any other directions? [11:23] x-X-x:why can't you do that with 1.4 ? [11:23] x-X-x the mozilla plugin for mplayer is in the repo [11:23] pele1: did you get any output from dmesg ? [11:24] i havent checked the changelog but i was recommended i use the latest [11:24] and you just have to get some codecs to view windows media videos [11:24] bert__: a programming language (like C) but specialised for high performance statistical computing on grid [11:24] ikonia: dmesg? [11:24] pajamian: ikonia: okay. I tried to set-up a VM and it said i needed a module that screwed up my wireless. (when i rebooted it said i needed a linux-restricted package to get wireless goin)i tried installing almost all of the linux-restricted-module packages [11:24] x-X-x why ? you seem to be doing this for no reason and you don't seem to understand what your doing [11:24] no luck.. [11:24] ikonia: hey, found something! [11:25] eeos, I don't know any language that is made specifically for that but I think most of the existing languages can do it somehow [11:25] pele1: dmesg | grep eth1 [11:25] ikonia: last line in dmesg is "Kill switch must be turned off for wireless networking to work" [11:25] does anyone have ipw3945? [11:25] ogre what module screwed up your wirless [11:25] pele1: there is a hardware switch on your laptop - flick it [11:25] I`ve just compiled and installed a new kernel (2.6.24) under my Ubuntu 7.10 distro - now ubuntu will only boot on low resolution and the keyboard layout settings seems to be gone ... It seems I need the linux-restricted-modules2.6.24 but I can`t find it anywhere [11:25] pele1: it enabled/disabled wirless [11:25] any hints ? [11:25] celoserpa because it doesn't exist [11:26] celoserpa: you've compiled a kernel that doesn't have a matching driver package [11:26] ikonia: I can't believe it. that ugly fn-F2 button... [11:26] clarezoe: you've just broke your ubuntu package managment compatability [11:26] ikonia, hmm... no way to fix it [11:26] ? [11:26] celoserpa, try the command sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, I think xorg isn't setup the right way now [11:26] ikonia: not sure anymore. ive been working on it for an hour and a half. I was trying to install driver that virtualbox said i needed [11:26] ikonia: now I have eth1 in iwconfig [11:26] celoserpa: make your own restircted drivers package [11:26] bert__: not really, I can assure you .... performances are evry different .... [11:26] (again) [11:26] bert__: nope he doesn't have a drivers package [11:26] pele1: ok, well done [11:26] ikonia, what do you mean? [11:26] ikonia, that could be fun... any directions on how to do it ? [11:26] ogre: thats the sort o info we need [11:26] whats the gnome bit torrent program called? [11:26] ow sotrry ikonia, forgot that [11:26] ikonia: what is the next step? [11:27] but I don't understand why someone would build his own kernel [11:27] bert__, thanks, will try [11:27] clarezoe: you need to have a matching restricted drivers package - which doesn't exist as you've built your own kernel [11:27] ikonia: I am back to the beginning, but I still can't access the internet. [11:27] anybody have ipw3945?????????????? [11:27] pele1: reboot - and lets see what happens [11:27] ikonia: rebooting. thanks again. [11:27] ogre: yes - but we need the ino of what's changed [11:28] ikonia, did you mess me with another person? I don't have any problem about kernel [11:28] say, anyone got experience with the build-in vnc stuff ubuntu comes with ? (don't send me !vnc please) [11:28] clarezoe I most certainly did - sorry [11:28] Hi, what was the name for browser program, which you needed to install when you tried to run Steam through wine? [11:29] it appears in some website counters too and starts with g or c I belive [11:29] ikonia: something virtualbox installed removed the linux-rest.... package i think i just need the name of the packages i need. anyway to remove restricted drivers???? [11:29] ogre yes, use the package manager to remove them. [11:29] it has something to do with the gecko kit but I'm not sure how the package is called PriitM [11:30] ikonia: what do i remove? [11:30] ogre: if it removed the files but the package still shows as installed then maybe you just need to re-install the package to put the files back. [11:30] ogre: I don't know - thats why I'm asking what you've changed [11:31] dang this is just going around in circles [11:31] ikonia: rebooted; I have the device again in network manager, roaming mode enabled, status: disconnected [11:32] pele1 just a minute, I just need to finish something [11:32] what i need is someone with ipw3945 to tell me which linux-restricted-modules packages they have installed. thats it [11:32] ikonia: take your time! [11:32] ogre no you don't - thats not what you need. you need to know what virtualbox changed [11:32] bert__, that's correct, thanks [11:32] ikonia: how do i figure that out? [11:33] ogre you pay attention when you're doing things [11:34] ikonia: well it installed several things. i cant remember all that stuff. if i can get rid of drivers when i reboot it will say i need blah blah blah to get it running [11:35] ogre then do that as "blah blah blah" doesn't help anyone [11:36] blahblahblah is what i need to know. thats the package im looking for [11:36] hallo [11:36] !blah [11:36] hello [11:36] ogre thats not what you need to know - you need to know what virtual box changed [11:36] ogre: if all you want is to know which package provides ipw3945 then install the apt-file package and use the apt-file command to find out (man apt-file) [11:36] Sorry, I don't know anything about blah - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [11:37] ikonia: well how the heck do i figure that out? [11:37] hi [11:38] I have ADSL Connection [11:38] ADSL over PPPOE [11:38] I have used sudo pppoeconf [11:38] My hda has two partitions, however hda2 is not listed under /dev... what's wrong? [11:39] ogre you pay attention when your installing something to what is going on [11:39] and it has generated pppoe_on_boot script and when i do ps -aef | grep pppd it shows the process but when i browse i get page not displayed [11:39] ogre: you could also list to us what restricted drivers you currently have installed [11:39] to rectify it i do sudo killall pppd [11:39] pele1: not fogot about you - I just need to complete this bug report properly [11:39] and then do sudo pon dsl-provider again [11:40] this time it works [11:40] how can i fix this issue [11:40] ikonia: lucent/agere linmodem controller driver is installed and ipw3945 driver thats it [11:40] ikonia: thanks [11:41] ogre so if you have the ipw3945 and you want to use an ipw3945 - don't you think it's more than the driver being a problem ? [11:41] hey guys, i need some help installing ubuntu [11:42] ikonia: I DO want to use ipw3945. are you messing with me? [11:42] My hda has two partitions, I used to have both /dev/hda1 and /dev/hda2 files, but recently /dev/hda2 has disappeared... what's wrong? [11:42] I'm running suse at the moment but I don't want to completely wipe the hard drive, i was wondering if there was a clever way of simply loading up the ubuntu OS as an option on startup [11:42] perhaps making it default also... [11:42] ogre: no your missing the point - you want to use the ipw3945 and you have the driver installed - do you not think it's not a dirver problem [11:42] mattycoze install along side susze on a sepearte partition [11:42] mattycoze: then manage your OS's through the grub menu.lst [11:43] ikonia: well what can i do to fix it? [11:43] ogre: start giving info [11:43] ikonia: ive given all the info i have [11:43] ogre: no you've not 1.) version and arch for ubuntu your using 2.) exact error complaint 3.) what virtual box did [11:44] ahh i see, why bother with separate partitions, i want to access the same files frome ither distro. [11:44] @ ikonia [11:44] mattycoze: thats fine, same thing just have a shared disk that both distro's can access [11:45] I want to see who else is connected to the server in my dorms, the server is http://yos2-3-4.reshall.calpoly.edu/, is there a way to probe for connections? [11:45] hmm, sounds kinda tricky - walk me through? [11:45] pele1 where have you gone ? [11:45] ikonia: 1.gutsy x86 2. wireless not working for ipw3945 3. no clue and i never will until someone tells me how to figure out what it installed [11:46] ikonia: I'm here [11:46] (maybe as "peleg"?) [11:46] mattycoze: walk you through ??? you have an existing partition, create another one for ubuntu to be installed on, create another partition for both ubunttu and suse to use / share [11:46] neeto: if you have a shell, 'who' [11:46] ogre: define not working, interface not there, won't start, what error ? [11:46] peleg: ahh ok so where are we up to [11:46] alright i'll back up things first brb ikonia [11:46] Frogzoo: thanks [11:47] mattycoze: wise move, well done [11:47] ikonia: rebooted, have eth1 visible, roaming mode enabled in network manager, status: disconnected [11:47] peleg: ok - so thats a start. [11:47] peleg: now your card is visable [11:47] ikonia: true. now - should we edit interfaces file? [11:48] hi all, I've just tried to boot into Ubuntu with the following errors: "Unable to mount root fs ..." do you know why? [11:48] peleg: so how do you want to proceed do you want to get it working first, then we'll make it perm [11:48] ikonia: i can only see my wired device. driver appears to be there but restricted drivers says its not in use. thats all i know [11:48] kennyyu: can't see your disk for some reaon [11:48] ogre: ok so it's not in use - enable it [11:48] !samba > dgjones [11:48] ikonia: I trust your opinion about it. I WOULD like to understand what I'm doing, so I'll be able to solve it another time, or help others. [11:49] ikonia: how? [11:49] peleg: thats ok - we'll go through it step by step [11:49] ogre: restricted drivers manager ? [11:49] ikonia: I don't know either, but actually I just allowed it to do auto-updating... and it seemed to me that my network connection has some problem at that moment, so I manually ctrl+c the updating process... [11:49] peleg: ok - so tell me about your network, its secured using wpa and it's broadcasting a sid yes/no ? [11:49] ikonia: im there. now what? [11:50] My hda has two partitions, I used to have both /dev/hda1 and /dev/hda2 files, but recently /dev/hda2 has disappeared... what's wrong? [11:50] kennyyu: so you've interupted an update in the middoe [11:50] middle [11:50] ikonia: ya, maybe. [11:50] kennyyu: what do you mean maybe, you did - or you didn't [11:50] !aptfix | kennyyu [11:50] kennyyu: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [11:50] Is anyone running KDE4 on Feisty and give feedback ? [11:51] ikonia: sorry, I did. But I just aren't sure what was the exact effect of my ctrl+c... [11:51] !kde4 | doppelgaenger [11:51] doppelgaenger: KDE 4.0 is the latest major release of the K Desktop Environment.

[11:51] kennyyu: right I'd suggest you simpley re-install using the latest CD rather than try to fix an unbootable system that was killed in the middle of an upgrade.

[11:53] peleg: is it working ? [11:53] ikonia: yes [11:53] ikonia: couldn't understand "roaming" - does it mean that he looks for a network alone? automatically? [11:53] peleg: great summary [11:53] ikonia: define "working" [11:53] ogre: what I would guess (and this is just a guess) blackbox did is blacklist that module [11:53] peleg: connected to the internet ? [11:54] ikonia: no. [11:54] i see my plugins got installed to /etc/vim... but I dont see that they are working, how can I check? [11:54] peleg: ok - whats the status [11:54] ikonia: i think it may have something to do with lucent/agere driver [11:54] ogre: why do you think that ? [11:54] ikonia: so how would i fix it? [11:54] ikonia: isnt that another wireless driver? [11:54] ogre: why do you think it has something to do with lucent [11:55] ogre: it says in the drive manager "win modem" [11:55] ikonia: in "support" tab: address 169.254.8.124 (not good, I guess), broadcast 169.254.255.255, subnet mask: 255.255.0.0 [11:55] peleg: so your setting a static IP ?

But how do i do it from cli, its still a question forme. I have alredy learned how to change it in xorg.conf, but what to do for nvidia, i dunno [12:15] of what? how to install ubuntu on a raid system? [12:16] Liquid2: yep.

I would like to implement it into my ArchLinux. [12:18] and it works also only with the bios.. so without windows [12:18] my understanding is that HW raid controllers show up as a single drive to the OS so ubuntu should just work if it's hw raid, but I may be wrong [12:18] ali1234: thanks man my prog worked, [12:18] in windows i only have one drive [12:18] ali1234 : thanks a lot :) [12:19] ndo: if you don't have the nvidia-settings file, it's not going to make any difference. just fix it in the xorg.conf [12:19] Can I use vncviewer to attach to an already-running X session? [12:19] avis: ive alredy tryed it, even with "-phigh" but it doesnt help. its nvidia settings that i need to change, not xorg, right?

[12:22] oops, I meant that for danielski_pl [12:22] Yaron: sorry, meant that for danielski_pl [12:22] yes, but i had a 640*480 resolution, wiht 50Hz refresh rate, and i didnt knew how to change it to 1024*768, and let it stay 50Hz, so i tough ok i try Envy, reboot and i get fliskering screen. i can see mouse moving and so. but wrong refresh rate wont let my monitor display it properly [12:22] Audacity is another word for arogance... it seems like you were offended... [12:23] Yaron: nope, I w2as referring the the audacity sound editing program. === ballzee is now known as Sinister [12:23] LOL... got it... [12:23] Are you familiar with my problem? [12:24] Yaron: all files [12:24] Yaron: sorry, no :-( [12:24] danielski_pl: if it is distorting at high volume levels, try turning down the master mixer and turning up pcm, or the reverse [12:24] i fixed one problem and another arised lol [12:24] oke, just runned "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" chosed... [12:25] ohhh it works !!! Halleluyah :D [12:25] alile234: is there any way i can install windows sound drivers on ubuntu? [12:25] danielski_pl: no [12:25] no, better search for a linux version at the vendor's website [12:25] ty guys :) this is the best channel ive been on :) <3 Ubuntu ! :D [12:26] alil234:, Yaron: its AC97 Audio [12:26] danielski_pl: it should "just work" indeed if you get any sound at all, then it seems like it is working. what program are you using to play the files? [12:27] Im not familiar with the motherboard vendors and their support in linux... [12:27] alil234: mainly VLC, sometimes Xine [12:28] distorts in both [12:28] danielski_pl: nvidia? [12:28] Anyone here familiar with console based problems? [12:28] danielski_pl: exactly what kind of distortion is it? clipping, or stuttering, or? [12:29] danielski_pl: does it get worse if you "do stuff" with the computer, or is it constant? [12:29] what if I change the locale at the GRUB screen, I mean like editing the stratup lines? usually there's a locale switch there... [12:30] alil234 gets worse when i use the comp definetely [12:30] it shouldnt though as i got 3 gb ram lol [12:30] hi again [12:30] alil234 and it stutters [12:30] any ideas [12:30] to my issue [12:31] danielski_pl: i remember years and years ago having to change pci latency in the bios when that happened [12:31] I have installed the e1000 module, I am able to connect to the internet only when i do the sudo killall pppd and then do sudo pon dsl-provider. Every now and then i have to do this for connecting to the Internet. I have configured ADSL over PPPOE using sudo pppoeconf and it has created pppoe_on_boot script also but I am unable to connect to the internet [12:32] danielski_pl: that probably isn;t applicable on recent pcs though [12:32] Again i have to do the sudo killall pppd and then do sudo pon dsl-provider to connect to the internet and then it works fine. Also NetworkManager Applet 0.6.4 keeps on rotating to get the network address [12:32] update-grub is producing two sets of entries for my 2.6.23, and the first "(Default)" set is ignoring the initrd line. [12:33] hello again JoshSN [12:33] JoshSN: what about the 2nd set? does it work when you select that? [12:33] HI pajamian, it turns out I was missing something before. My old kernels were there, but there are these new entries. [12:33] pajamian, yup. Works fine. [12:33] But update-grub keeps producing the extra ones, so the default points to something broken. [12:33] alil234 how do i install alsamixer command line (cbf opening SPM) [12:34] JoshSN: ok, the 2nd set is not he recovery one, right? [12:34] pajamian: hi [12:34] danielski_pl: sudo apt-get install alsa-utils [12:34] hello kaushal [12:34] pajamian, no, not the recovery. each set is two entries, one normal, one recovery. the first set looks almost identical, just has the word (Default) next to it and no initrd line [12:35] looks almost identical to the working one [12:35] JoshSN: then just remove the first set and set the second set to default. [12:35] Wouldn't I then have to run update-grub? [12:35] Rather, if update-grub is producing bad results now, won't it repeat that error, the next time there is a kernel upgrade? === reloop_ is now known as reloop [12:36] alil234: sweet thanx fixed my prob, the master level was set too high [12:36] any developer of linux-backport-modules? [12:36] JoshSN: maybe, I think the upgrade uses commented lines from menu.lst, you may be able to change what upgrade does by changing those commented lines [12:37] I'm ghaving an issue with mount.fuse when I add my sshfs# line to /etc/fstab ad I try to mount it it says: Connection Reset by peer... I don't undertsand as if I use sshfs manually it mounts withtout any problem [12:38] where can i get a desktop sidebar that displays, CPU temp, Fans, Audio playing. news reader etc...???? [12:39] Mornin' folks [12:39] danielski_pl, gkrellm is one such thing [12:40] Can anyone remember off the top of thier head how to get those drive icons off the desktop?? [12:40] thanx :P [12:40] Aquahallic: gconf [12:40] Aquahallic: gconf-editor [12:40] hi [12:40] any idea where? [12:41] i have just purged and re-installed firefox, but i am unable to install extensions - i am getting an 'unexpected installation error' on any theme or extension i attempt to install.... can anyone help with that? [12:41] search nautilus [12:41] I'm trying to connect to msn via ubuntu but can't. Any ideas why its unable to connect [12:41] Im using pidgin [12:41] SleepingSloth: did you rm .mozilla? [12:41] danielski_pl, sadly, gkrellm2 isn't in gutsy. It's nicer, although had fewer plugins when I last checked it out [12:41] kasina have u tried aMSN? [12:41] variant_, no, i apt-get remove --purge firefox. would that not remove .mozilla? [12:42] kasina: probably your using the wrong username or pass [12:42] danielski_pl: yes but it kinda hangs [12:42] Hi I'm on an iBook. My system hang around in the startup screen and stops then booting. On a shell (initramfs) I must enter modprobe ide-core and exit on every system startup. What can I do that I must not enter this commands on every startup? I tried to put them in /etc/modules but I think these modlues are loaded much later. Perhaps its some config in yaboot ??? [12:42] variant_: Thanks... Found it..:) [12:42] SleepingSloth: not as far as i'm aware. manually rm -rf it [12:42] the apt-get system will NOT remove the users config files.. [12:42] That could be.. very bad if it did. :) [12:42] Can I tell it through yaboot it should load ide-core ??? [12:42] kasina: maybe your isp is blocking it? [12:43] variant_, Dr_Willis - thanks - (i thought that was the purpose of purge though- my mistake) ... i'll give it a go === variant_ is now known as variant [12:43] ali1234: Iv just installed Ubuntu. Its was able to access on Windows [12:43] JoshSN: I think your menu.lst is messed up, that file controls what happens when update-grub is run. I'm guessing that when you changed from using a separate /boot partiton to just using the root partition for grub that you fixed menu.lst to work then, but you didn't change it to work properly after update-grub was run, so update-grub still thinks (to some weird extent) than you have a seperate /boot partiton that it's supposed to use. [12:43] Does that make sense? [12:43] SleepingSloth, purge just gets the system confugs, you could make a new user and see if it works for them properly. [12:43] gkrellm is exactly what i was lookin for, ur a legend. [12:44] pajamian, nope. I had to run update-grub (and grub-install) after I moved the /boot partition [12:44] danielski_pl, glad to help [12:44] JoshSN: oh well, there goes that theory, then ;-) [12:45] kasina: all i can say is "it works for me" [12:45] hey..can anyone tell me what the default password for root is on a fresh ubuntu installation? [12:45] JoshSN: still, though, that's got to be the source of your problem. [12:45] !root | pbne04 [12:45] pbne04: no, because it is randomized [12:45] pbne04: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [12:45] its not even randomzed. :) its non-existant [12:45] How can I do modprobe ide-core through yaboot on system startup ? [12:46] Dr_Willis, no joy with removing .mozilla. when you say make a new user - how should i go about doing that? [12:46] well I just tried a command using sudo and got the "permission denied" message [12:46] SleepingSloth, adduser, or useradd whoever [12:46] with a sudo, or use the gui tools for user admin [12:46] pbne04: you can get a root shell with: sudo su - [12:46] pajamian, I agree :) [12:47] pajamian, at least, I think it is by far the most likely explanatino [12:47] SleepingSloth, thers also extensions that can get isntalled system wide. if you use the firefox->tools->get-addons->get ubuntu extensions.. item. [12:47] SleepingSloth, those are for every user. Which is a little odd. :) [12:47] JoshSN: my best advice is to back up that file now, make sure you have a workable recovery disk that you can use to restore it, and then start playign with it and running update-grub to see what happens. [12:48] Dr_Willis, what, you mean add a whole new user... so i'd have to log out of x and back in as said new user? [12:48] SleepingSloth, basicially, thee is a way to spawn a new X session and you can login ias that user on that X session. Check the menus. [12:49] thanks, using sudo su [12:49] SleepingSloth, click on the little green man at top right and use the switch-user feature after adding a new user. a [12:50] Question: Can I easily uninstall everything gnome from ubuntu? all artwork and themes and windowmanager and apps and compiz etc. I want to use the windowmanager wmii instead, and if some app will need a gtk lib then apt-get will install that later right? [12:50] pajamian, solved :) [12:50] or should I just install debian in that case (in which case i'd prefer some other distro instead anyway) [12:51] Heh all [12:51] JoshSN: cool [12:51] brb [12:51] can i run 2 instances of bind in a server? acting as a primary and secondary dns? [12:51] pajamian, there was a symlink created in /boot from vmlinuz to vmlinuz-2.6.23, grub was finding "both" kernels and creating entries for both, there was only one initrd, though [12:52] Ciao, all [12:53] hey everytime i try to connect to a nfs server i get this: failed, security flavor not supported [12:54] hey guys looking for Wolfenstein for linux found what i think it is and its a .x86 file what do i do with that? [12:54] rpc.idmapd and /usr/sbin/rpc.gssd running [12:54] How do I export my mail to save include I crash my ubuntu system and need to recover? [12:54] Industrial, you could do a server install if you want a minimal system [12:55] whats the difference? [12:55] server is minimal. :) [12:55] install what you want. No x by default, no extra stuff. [12:56] There may be some alternative minimal ubuntu variants out also. [12:56] ah k [12:56] I wonder if there will ever be a matchbox-desktop meta package. :) [12:57] !find matchbox [12:57] Found: libmatchbox-dev, libmatchbox1, matchbox, matchbox-common, matchbox-desktop (and 6 others) [12:57] Guess there is! :) [12:58] Heh the complete matchbox desktop - 120K [12:59] wmii 139K, jwm 95k [12:59] /msg ubotu flashissues [12:59] :) [12:59] Heh - remove the space. :) [13:00] I like wmii's taggins instead of workspaces [13:00] anyone using an asus notebook (preferably A3 series) and knows how i can adjust fan speed ? (lm-sensors seems not to recognize its smbus) [13:00] dont know matchbox (yet) [13:00] Dr_Willis, okay, that seems to have solved the problem altogether. random. [13:01] SleepingSloth, i would guess thers some user setting that is goofing things up in the first user. You could just start cleaning out all the settings. :) No idea what ones however. [13:01] installing it all :p [13:01] Dr_Willis, yeah.... it works, i may remove the user and see what result that has, but i'm not too fussed... [13:02] Hi [13:02] SleepingSloth, DONT remove your first user. you will not be able to sudo with the 2nd user. [13:02] I just tried playing Tuxracer under Ubuntu and the game seems very laggy, as in a low framerate. Is there something I need to enable to make it run more smoothly? [13:02] unless you enable that of course. :) [13:02] I have tried to run the updater, but it says that I am using a unsupported version (5.10), but on the website, it said that it should be possible for me to update to 6.06 and gradually get to the latest version.... how can I upgrade to 6.06 without a cd? [13:03] xal2, you installed the 3d video card drivers for your video card? (what is your video card?) [13:03] I have an Nvidia 7900GTO [13:03] I installed the Nvidia drivers from their website. [13:04] Dr_Willis, no, i didnt mean remove the first one, i meant remove the second one that i just created [13:04] SleepingSloth, ok. :) thats safe. [13:05] hey buddies: ikonia started to help me changing the mod of an intel wifi card through iwconfig to WPA2, and then he left for lunch (almost an hour ago) - maybe one of you can help me instead to finish the process? I looked at the man pages and couldn't figure it out alone.. [13:05] fix: not the "mod", the "encryption" [13:05] argh, no one can help me... ive been trying all morning :( [13:05] I have tried to run the updater, but it says that I am using a unsupported version (5.10), but on the website, it said that it should be possible for me to update to 6.06 and gradually get to the latest version.... how can I upgrade to 6.06 without a cd? [13:06] !update [13:06] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [13:06] wil, thats getting so old.. I would be scared to do incremental updates. [13:06] wil: wouldn't clean gutsy install be less trouble? [13:06] Can I use vncviewer to attach to an already-running X session? [13:07] Dr_Willis, there used to be settings in x.org that are no longer available. (This was in Ubuntu 6.10). I haven't seen them in the latest version of Ubuntu. [13:07] yeah, it would be easier, but I am having a lot of trouble with writing cds at the moment [13:07] Tonren, not really. - vncviewer connects to a vncserver. there ARE vncservers that share the current X desktop - if you enable them. Gnome has vino i think === fredrik is now known as sanginius [13:08] and, this is not my main machine, I am just trying out linux and ubuntu to see some features and stuff..... I would do a fresh install if this was a machine I would be using every day [13:08] Tonren, ive found vino and sharing the current desktop to be a bit slow/sluggish. [13:08] one more try: does anyone knows how to configure eth1 to WPA2 encryption using iwconfig? [13:08] I am evaluating for a business and I just want to get the latest version + wine to see if it can run out ERP app... if it can, I think we will be switching from windows [13:08] Dr_Willis: Hmm... then, how do I kill an X session gracefully from the terminal? [13:09] Dr_Willis: That is, as if I'd hit "Log Out" and all my applications closed gracefully. [13:09] Tonren, Hmm. Not sure :) [13:09] Dr_Willis: Nuts! :-P [13:09] some of the window managers ive seen have exit/logout scripting type features.. but it depends on the desktop/wm i guess [13:09] hi [13:09] No idea if gnome has a feature like that [13:09] I'm in KDE, actually. [13:10] is it possible to install gutsy with feisty cd? of course it would download all files from the internet. [13:10] does anyone know a good site where i can get .deb applications directly that work with AMD64 Ubuntu? thank u [13:10] Tonren: dbus maybe [13:10] cuz i keep getting wrong ones, for i386 n etc [13:10] brambo google "getdeb" [13:11] brambo: ubuntu.com [13:11] kde has so many sort-of-hidden-obscure commands its proberly doable. :) [13:11] brambo: you#re supposed to install stuff via synaptic [13:11] Yes - its best to use synaptic, not manually downloading of .debs [13:11] !getdeb [13:11] Sorry, I don't know anything about getdeb - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [13:11] does getdeb.net specify if its amd64 capable? [13:11] rx: debootstrap [13:11] b4 downloading [13:12] getting a .deb from a site will NOT get all the dependencies for the deb file. === hoarycri1ple is now known as hoarycripple [13:12] brambo: i dont know i got amd64 and any app works fine for me 64 or not but it prob does try it [13:12] Which can be extensive # of addational pakckages - for some things. [13:12] ok ill have a look around thanks [13:13] Any experience in buying service from Canonica? Is it worth the price for a non-tech-professional, who has some money but no intention to solve his IT problems by herself? [13:13] can an admin forwad ports on a NAPT-router (Network Adress Ports Traslation? [13:13] Hi, I'm trying to automount my SSHFS mount by adding to /etc/fstab sshfs#user@domain:/dir /dir but when I run mount /dir it says connection reset by peer, any idea ? [13:14] ali1234: I did a "kill -SIGTERM" on the Xserver process === sanginius is now known as sanginius_ [13:14] am i allowed to stay logged in this room while i have a look around that site u said about? === sanginius_ is now known as sanginius [13:17] For all the new buddies in the room: does anyone knows how to use iwconfig to set the encryption of eth1 to WPA2? [13:17] Anyone know URL to read about the latest changes in Ubuntu?

[13:22] I have a 500GB drive, is Partition Magic appropriate for that, or should I use a Linux tool? [13:22] I can boot from CD. [13:23] PM should do [13:23] who can I get help about network? [13:23] where? [13:23] I'll confess that almost every time I've used Partition Magic I've used a pirated version - is there a free equivalent I could use? [13:24] User Gparted [13:24] not of pmagic no unless u want to buy it [13:24] I said equivalent, not version. [13:24] If you use the [13:24] gparted under linux [13:24] fdisk under windows [13:24] Is gparted in the Ubuntu bootable CD? [13:24] Live CD Version of ubuntu it has Gparted which is really nice for setting up partitions [13:24] yes [13:24] Ok, thanks. [13:25] Is it known to mess hardware/data up? [13:25] it doesnt [13:25] hey all, does anyone know of noise cancelation software that works in ubuntu [13:25] So my 30GB of MP3s are safe, thanks. [13:25] It is not 100% but it is a very tested program and uses a very tested LIB to do the operations [13:25] i live across the road from a new nightclub, and their music is crap [13:26] modumass: go accross the road and cut off there power, i dont encourage this behaviour [13:26] :P [13:26] haha [13:27] moDumass: that would require a real time kernel among other things... [13:27] yeh, i tried finding their circuitbreaker today, but its all indoors [13:27] alil234, meaning? [13:27] meaning it would be pretty hard to set up, even if it did exist [13:27] a real time kernel? [13:27] Try downloading some 'white noise' mp3's and loop them in a media player [13:28] peleg: Thanks [13:28] moDumass: to cancel the noise you have to sample it, invert it, and play it back *really fast* other wise you just get an echo [13:28] alil234, noise cancelation is not that hard to set up, you need a microphone and a dsp to play an inverse wave form.. like a muffler per say [13:28] yeh im looking more for a "tinnitus masker" [13:29] moDumass: exactly. a PC is not a DSP [13:29] thats what i used in windows [13:29] hmmm, yeh ok, [13:29] thanks anyway [13:30] would probably be easier just to build it from analogue components... [13:30] alil234, its cool, thanks [13:30] or even better, move [13:31] off topic question: if everyone used ubuntu/kubuntu, will microsoft go out of business? [13:31] What is the best way to get a chipset via VN986 on Ubuntu 7.10: use the oficial driver on viaarena website (i dont find this driver) or use OpenChrome ??? [13:31] danielski_pl: #ubuntu-offtopic please. [13:31] ah ok sorry [13:32] and danielski_pl, it kinda goes without saying doesnt it [13:33] i mean if no one is using microsoft products [13:34] OpenChrome is better than Oficial driver for via vn986 ? [13:34] anyone here familiar with apt-proxy ? [13:34] AmBAr: depends what you want to use it for... but via graphics generally suck whatever you use... [13:35] I wanna get 3D aceleration for my notebook to use with compiz/fusion [13:36] ali1234, so... OpenChrome is the best way ? [13:36] ali1234, I wanna get 3D aceleration for my notebook to use with compiz/fusion [13:37] AmBAr: well, it's supposed to... might not be fast enough for compiz [13:38] one more try: I'm trying to configure eth1 for WPA2, but I don't have that option in the network manager (known bug of intel cards). I was told to try to do it with iwconfig, but I can't figure out how to do that. Someone, maybe, knows? [13:39] ali1234, anyway I dont can find a via vn986 driver on viaarena website :( i will use OpenChrome so.. Tank you very much [13:40] peleg: Is there a way to also suppress notification of people entering and leaving the chat?

[14:38] Limez, you are frekin demanding, do your own research then [14:38] Poka, I'll take a look at that :D [14:38] amenado: I beleive that there is a way of configuring the access to WPA without using the network manager.

[14:40] Coconut: yw === chaky_ is now known as chaky [14:41] peleg we sort of help you find info, we cant remember everything ourselves [14:41] amenado: I guess that you've encountered many people who didn't, hence you ask. Well: yes. I have been trying to fix that problem since - well - for about 6 hours now. I read this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202834 carefuly. I've been in many forums/blogs as well. I've talked to ikonia for about 1.5 hours, but then he just disappeared... [14:41] i care to see the userlist on xchat-gnome how do I do this? [14:41] peleg you can connect to your AP... dhclient eth0 or whatever the name of your nick [14:41] amenado, what am i looking for in system.map.xxx [14:42] amenado: what is AP?

[14:42] shizz: assuming xchat gnome is similar to normal xchat :) [14:42] peleg thats the router/ap you have to configure [14:42] compwiz18: i understand that would be logical, but the problem is there's no "view" [14:42] shizz: ah, try normal xchat then [14:42] shizz: www.xchat.org [14:42] compwiz18: how do i do that? [14:42] compwiz18: oh, thanks [14:43] shizz, click on the right hand side of the screen and drag it out, it just doesn't have any size, weird bug [14:43] amenado: I can't access it via the command that you've given me - I can do it via windows (as I do it now). [14:43] xidarian, you dont modify the System.map directly i forget which tool modifies that to reflect system settings, maybe mkinitrd [14:43] shizz: open the package manager and find the package xchat and install it :) [14:43] peleg which command was that i gave you? [14:44] amenado: dhclient eth1 [14:44] compwiz18: I've done that to get this xchat-gnome... i s'pose it's xchat-GNOME because ubuntu is defaulted gnome -- how could I switch to KDE?\ [14:44] Poka: cifs is a package,right? (common internet file system) [14:44] peleg you can connect to your AP via a terminal... dhclient eth1 [14:44] peleg you can connect to your AP via a terminal... sudo dhclient eth1 [14:44] peleg haft to leave for a few [14:44] amenado: I have done it.

[14:45] shizz, your user list is at the right hand side of the chat window, it just needs dragging out [14:45] shizz: as far as I know, there is no such thing as xchat-kde, however, as Jack_Sparrow points out, you can just use xchat or xchat-gnome [14:45] What's the name of a screencam for Ubuntu? A screen recorder [14:45] Stwange: I've drug the window out as far as I can get it, but no solution has been found [14:45] shizz, must be a different problem than the one I had then =) [14:46] Coconut: it's a protocol. and you should install samba not cifs per se [14:46] lol [14:46] !lol | shizz [14:46] shizz: Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis.

[15:09] wwalker: dpkg is like the root installer, i think apt-get or aptitude would track those things [15:09] jrib, http://pastebin.ca/892550 [15:09] How do I see under what group a program is running? [15:09] renato_: there is maybe a good front end to ffmpeg [15:10] it also says something about broken packages [15:10] AndrewB, do you know the name? [15:10] b0ha_: pastebin that [15:10] if I've only set one password for only one user on my ubuntu-linux, then when I open a terminal and type: su - then the only one password i typed in I use to acces the "su" but it tells me "Authentication failure, sorry." (WHAT DO i DO?) [15:10] danbhfive: are you there with me? [15:11] nope sorry renato_ [15:11] jrib, check on the top of http://pastebin.ca/892550 [15:11] first 3 lines [15:11] Hi can somone help newbie with Anjuta? I have few problems [15:11] shizz: try sudo su [15:11] peleg: i'm not too expert on this. I assume you've tried the gui [15:11] peleg: $ sudo mv /etc/network/interfaces /etc/network/interfaces.backup; sudo ifdown wlan0; sudo ifup wlan0; [15:11] NW2190: that worked [15:12] @ Jack_Sparrow here is the lin to the post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=682259 [15:12] Poka: thanks, in a minute [15:12] NW2190: how then may I set a root password seperate from the current user? [15:12] danbhfive: thanks anyway [15:12] danbhfive: the root installer should be the one that keeps up with things so that if you use apt-get one day and aptitude the next, all the data is available to both tools. I'll dig around === |OzoNe is now known as membrive [15:12] shizz: do you want to change the root password or the user password?

You won't be able to login using the GUI with it, but you can su - [15:13] How do I see under what group a program is running? [15:13] NW2190: currently "sudo su" logs onto root@mycomputer w/o a password. I would like to have a password set so that another user may not do as I did and have no password required [15:14] shizz: no need of "sudo" to become root; just "su" [15:14] shizz: you can't use sudo unless you are in the admin group [15:14] wwalker: maybe so, but I don't think thats how it works. For example, dpkg keeps track of dependancies, but it doesn't track what packages were automatically installed when another package was installed. Apt-get and aotitude do, but in separate ways. [15:14] Poka: ? [15:14] LjL: ? [15:14] Poka: sudo su becomes root, su asks for password and password doesn't authenticate.. [15:14] jrib, http://pastebin.ca/892562 [15:14] Blinkiz, man ps [15:14] Poka: how would you use "su" without "sudo" in Ubuntu? [15:14] shizz: i think sudo passwd [15:14] does it [15:14] ckin2001: Okay, can you be more specific maybe? ;) [15:14] b0ha_: run 'sudo apt-get update' and try again [15:15] hello, everyone [15:15] danbhfive: agreed, but that's a l8ittle more fringe data than "when was it installed" [15:15] LjL: what do you mean? [15:15] @Jack_Sparrow-- cupsys, hplip and all the dependencies. I have a deskjet 550c. when i start my computer the printer cycles through its process of getting ready so I know it is receiving a signal. I had to boot from the live cd due to issues not related to the printer and magicly the printer worked but it won't work when i boot from my hard drive. [15:15] !root | Poka [15:15] Poka: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password.

[15:15] to grub [15:15] shizz: ya no problem [15:15] thx by [15:15] LjL, you can change the root password and use it [15:15] LjL, System -> Administration -> Users & Groups -> click Properties on root, select "Set password by hand". You won't be able to login using the GUI with it, but you can su - [15:15] TT No idea... let me look around for a sec. [15:15] does anyone here has *ubuntu and didn't do 'sudo passwd' to it? [15:15] Stwange: which is a terrible idea. [15:15] I don't think so [15:15] shizz: that's unnecessary. Please read the link from ubotu [15:15] Stwange: well, don't recommend it please. [15:15] Stwange: oh I see... so sudo su is asking for the current users password---whereas the su asks for the root password? [15:16] Poka: again, it is stuck in "NO DHCPHOFFERS recieved" [15:16] !root > shizz (read the private message from ubotu) [15:16] I'd like to be able to see my ide drive as /dev/hda instead of /dev/sda so I can use hdparm on it [15:16] yeah shizz [15:16] !root | shizz, Stwange [15:16] shizz, Stwange: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible.

Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [15:16] any ideas? [15:16] you can sudo sh to pop a root shell and then change the password - but its really dirty [15:16] LjL: whatever. $ su someone; does the job if you _know_ the pass; [15:16] !noroot | shizz, Stwange, Poka [15:16] shizz, Stwange, Poka: We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-) [15:16] jrib, it worked! thank you [15:16] b0ha_: no problem [15:16] I got deb packages on home/lukasz they are installed how do I remove em in konsole [15:16] Poka: if there *is* a valid password, in the first place. which there shouldn't be. [15:17] realise the truth, there is no root password [15:17] wwalker: still there? I have something [15:17] makes sense [15:17] does anyone know why i cannot add WINE to my ubuntu, other apps can be installed [15:17] danbhfive: ?? [15:17] Poka: are you with me? [15:17] Command for removing packages please [15:17] The deb packages [15:17] LjL: and who would keep password less root account? [15:17] hi, can I override system wide gnome menu items by putting a something.desktop file somewehere in a user's /home directory? [15:17] Jefo: not unless you tell me what output you get from « sudo apt-get install wine » [15:17] Another thing is that deskjet 550 and 550c are not in the list of printer but every toher hp printer is in there [15:17] guys, is root password in *ubuntu by default scrambled or root account is locked with 'x' in /etc/shadow? tia [15:17] pele1: ask LjL. he's an expert. [15:17] wwalker: you can browse to /var/cache/apt/archives and just sort by modification date [15:17] lukasz: it's the same as any other package you intsalled. Use your favorite package manager (or for example: apt-get remove PACKAGE) [15:17] Poka, err...? as the link you were given explains, Ubuntu comes with *no valid root password*, which means nobody can login as root *at all* [15:17] initng: locked [15:18] I am Crash password the root to grub [15:18] LjL: tried the default installation app, but will try apt-get [15:18] wwalker: maybe [15:18] long shot: is anyone here using a typematrix keyboard ??! [15:18] ok [15:18] LjL: heard you are one hell of an expert with wifi, ha? :-) [15:18] * shizz gives thanks to all [15:18] astro76, thank you very much [15:18] LjL, I wasn't recommending it, shizz asked my how to do it. And as for "guessing" the root password, I never did. The one thing I hated about ubuntu was that everyone told me it was impossible to login as root (because it was a bad idea), and then when I discovered it wasn't, everyone was just like "yeah well, it's a bad idea". I felt lied to, isn't the whole point of *nix that you are free to use your OS however you want? I didn't appreciate [15:18] being told I couldn't do something, although I didn't mind being told why I shouldn't [15:18] pele1: not really, all wired here [15:18] LjL: oh... maybe anyway? [15:18] /join #linux-hacker [15:18] LjL: I am exhausted. I need one more step in order to connect. [15:19] Stwange, it's impossible *by default*. of course it can be made to become possible - after all, it's your computer, you can do pretty much anything with it if you know how to. [15:19] LjL: i know. that's from the gdm/xdm/kdm. no one's stopping you from the ttys [15:19] Poka: no, that's wrong. [15:19] ok [15:19] danbhfive: that gave me what I needed, thanks [15:19] Poka: /etc/shadow lists "!" as the root password hash by default. that means that *it is impossible to login as root from anywhere*. [15:20] thnx [15:20] :) [15:20] Poka: if you want to change that, it's your choice, but a *default* Ubuntu installation comes that way, and we recommend against changing that. [15:20] hi, right now i have an onboard graphics card that gutsy seems to have issues with. but theres a slot available for me to insert another graphics card, how will gutsy react to that? can i try to get it to work with that card instead? [15:20] wwalker: np [15:20] BoltClock: What chipset is in the onboard [15:20] I think the printer problem has something to do with the very first update after a new install [15:20] chipset? [15:21] can someone tell me the command for converting an avi to mpeg using maximum quality on ffmpeg? [15:21] pele1, i just never had to do with wifi... checked the docs [15:21] !wifi > pele1 (pele1, see the private message from Ubotu) [15:21] BoltClock: What card, make model etc [15:21] BoltClock: yes quit easily [15:21] where may I find the ICON's folder? [15:21] my pc doesnt detect a portable HDD, what can i do? [15:21] Jack_Sparrow: nvidia geforce7100 [15:21] pike_: how? [15:21] BoltClock: That 7100 should be fine [15:21] brb [15:22] BoltClock: plug it in boot up do a lspci -v to get busid and edit xorg.conf file to reflect new id and driver [15:22] Jack_Sparrow: a few weeks ago you and a bunch of others on irc have tried helping me but nothing could get gutsy to cooperate... [15:22] founds some, nevermind [15:22] maybe that doesnt really count as easy.. [15:22] hi all, i have a script that copies a directory but frequently I find that the copy process is stuck in a sleep state. after checking the file descriptors for the proccess, stdin and stdout points to a pipe with a inum that does not exist. i assume the file with that inum has been deleted, but why would cp get stuck on that? [15:22] pike_: you lost me at lspci [15:22] =x [15:22] LjL: please? I'm in this room for more than 6 hours. I have talked to about 8 people who tried to help, but left in the middle of the process. I have googled all around the web but I just can't make it work - particularly, I have read those docs that you've sent me, of course. The thing is that there is a BUG (known) and the GUI of the network manager won't show me any other encryption - only WEP, so I can't try it "clear" or "W [15:22] peleg i just got back in [15:23] hi, i try ti install nvidia, and that's all what i have in xorg.conf: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54854/ [15:23] amenado: hi, now (I don't know why) I am pele1... [15:24] hi, can anyone explain why System Monitor tells me I have 4.4 gig free on my / partition, but only 2.2 gig available? [15:24] what is best way to set/check dma status on ide drive on ubuntu 7.10 [15:24] pele1, okay you changed your nick [15:24] that makes ide drives look like scsi [15:24] where is the channel for hardy 8.04? [15:25] amenado: or maybe I am pele2 now? [15:25] oxigen: #ubuntu+1 [15:25] mynameisdeleted, it maybe how udev determines your drive, im not familiar with udev rules.. do a udevinfo [15:25] O_o [15:25] pike_ thanks === nblracer2 is now known as nblracer [15:25] BoltClock: itll probably just work but if you do need the busid lspci -v will give it to ya [15:26] BoltClock: i mean a sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg may just work [15:26] I'd be happy to copy /dev/sda to /dev/hda [15:26] but hdparm still wont work on it [15:26] mynameisdeleted: sudo hdparm -i /dev/xxxx [15:26] and sdparm doesnt work either [15:26] BoltClock: Bolt, often it is harder to undo things that did not work than to get it working in the first place. What all did you try? ANy scripts, special drivers etc? [15:26] pele1, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/ubuntu-networking-configuration-using-command-line.html an interfaces file like this [15:27] amenado: checking [15:27] pele1 (or pele2): your message got cut off after « or "W ». anyway you can say "please" as much as you like, but if i don't know a thing about wireless, i can hardly invent the solution on the spot [15:27] hi [15:27] LjL: of course, I didn't mean to. [15:27] Jack_Sparrow: i remember lots of reconfiguring x, reinstalling drivers... even the OS [15:27] hi [15:28] kornelius_, can i ask u some thing [15:28] BoltClock: I need to run in a couple minutes to the Dr. but please post your xorg.conf to the pastebin. [15:28] Ljl uses fibre pele2. :-] [15:28] pele2, thats how a config in the clear looks like, no wep,wpa,wpa2 stuff [15:28] got it [15:29] hey im lloking for a guide/turtoral/help on setting up a small network with 5 or so computers, with something simmilar to roming profiles, So any one can login into any of the computers and it would sync up with other computers and/or a server with all there personal data and settings. [15:29] mynameisdeleted, share what you have learned [15:29] even though hdparm /dev/sda doenst show dma info [15:29] pele2: did you check wpa wiki page? [15:29] hdparm -i /dev/sda does show some info but doenst state whether dma is enabled or not [15:29] Jack_Sparrow: the driver is disabled right now and im busy on windows, paste anyway? [15:29] hmm, will my cdrom always auto-mount to the desktop? [15:30] hdparm -d 1 /dev/sda [15:30] will set dma to on still [15:30] Poka, do not suggest using encryption til he gets it working in the clear first [15:30] even though status wont be displayed it will make hdparm -i /dev/sda logner [15:30] hi guys, I've got a problem: do you have ANY clue about locked pdf-files? I mean besides bruteforce methodes. The problem is to open the file.. Hope you can help me =) [15:30] Poka: no, I don't even need that WPA... I'm just trying to access "clear". Could one of you tell me how to try to "reconnect"? [15:30] amenado: his clear isn't working. [15:30] @ Jack _Sparrow--Since i know that the printer works from the live cd can i remove all the cupsys and hplip then install the old cupsys and hplip that are on the cd [15:30] are there any "best practices" when it comes to how large you can make an ext3-partition? [15:30] BoltClock: You can do it later [15:31] Poka and am confident the encrypted mode will not work [15:31] pele2, dhclient eth1 [15:31] Jack_Sparrow: alright. but in case i want to try sticking in another graphics card, is an ati radeon 2600 pro known to work great with gutsy? [15:31] Has anyone had problems w/ Gutsy hanging on shutdown and found a solution? [15:32] amenado: same thing as before. It's not getting DHCPOFFER [15:32] BoltClock: no.. stick with nvidia or intel [15:32] its actually on udma5 mode [15:32] pele2, do you have the liveCD? boot from it and see if your wifi will work [15:32] I keep getting problems with my video, after the computer's been running for a while. When I logout and login again, it works as it should. This is how the problem looks: http://85.226.139.229/video.png [15:32] amenado: I don't have. [15:32] pele2, ubuntu 7.10 right?

[15:32] amenado: 7.04 [15:32] pele2: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54858/ [15:33] pele2, then you try and burn one [15:33] Poka: you're a good detective, how do you know i use fiber? [15:33] Jack_Sparrow: guess that means i have to go shopping again, but isnt my model of onboard card supposed to work anyway? ive heard [15:33] pele2: put that in your /etc/network/interfaces.

[15:50] how to instal unrar on my pc.when i open the file all i see is lots of small text folders [15:50] Nsf then on the menu edit and select the partition you want to format [15:50] ezquerro: you cant i dont believe youd need to use a livecd either ubuntus or gparted's [15:50] ezquerro: i think that even if you could it wouldn't be wery wise [15:50] ezquerro: you can't.

I'm having some trouble with my standard RealTek 8139 card. 8139cp is not loaded, the network manager refuses to connect to my router, and any manual attempt has failed. dhclient won't connect either, which is strange.

[16:01] cclampblues: yeah leave out "$". it's just a shell prompt [16:02] I disabled the one that plays as I log on, but I can't figure out how to remove the one that plays when the screen appears [16:02] Ein2015: thanks dude:) i mean i know linux is better in many ways then windows...but why the F... has to be so diff to install a program:) [16:02] how do I enable syntax 'on' as default for a user?

[16:35] ikonia: sorry for the mess. iwconfig gives me something that starts with IEEE 802.11g instead of the previous "unassociated" [16:36] slipttee1: you can use old-releases.ubuntu.com as a repository, but seriously, you need to upgrade. You will like the more recent versions too [16:36] pele3: does it have associated written anywhere [16:36] pele3 you are too lazy to paste the exact result, thats why we keep guessing, just take the time to paste the result instead of repastingold stuff [16:36] jrib: pentium III 246MB DIMM [16:36] Poka: gnome-terminal failed to run [16:36] amenado: that's not fair. I use 2 computers, and it's about 5-10 minutes to paste it all manually [16:37] Poka: no such file or directory [16:37] cclampblue1: what did you type? [16:37] slipttee1: so? use xubuntu if you feel it can't run gnome smoothly [16:37] slipttee1: that doesn't change the fact that you should upgrade [16:37] hello, how to send a popup message from console to the desktop? [16:37] ikonia: no, it doesn't say it anywhere. [16:37] pele3 it is not fair to assist you if you do not want to do your part [16:37] Poka: gnome-terminal [16:37] ikonia: give me 2 minutes and I'll fix the paste bin [16:37] jrib: sources.list work in warty ? [16:37] Andres_22rio4: zenity or notify-send [16:37] pele3: then it's still no associated, I'm not sure how it will deal with ESSID's with spaces in [16:37] old.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu main restricted ........ [16:38] amenado: I will do it. [16:38] Poka: I am in xubuntu (if it makes a difference) [16:38] ikonia: I used "..." and it seems like it recognizes it. [16:38] slipttee1: that's not what I said [16:38] pele3: you used three dots as an ESSID ? [16:38] xubuntu sucks :S [16:38] ikonia-> we have been looking at his old paste, so we are guessing, he is too lazy to paste the results we asked [16:38] fluxbuntu better :D [16:38] could someone help me with a simple problem please? [16:38] fluxbuntu.org :D [16:38] slipttee1: so use it, but use an up to date version [16:38] official project ? [16:39] hello [16:39] i have a problem with audio on this machine [16:39] upon updating my add/remove applications I am encountering an error: [16:39] how do I get mutli mode aka dual monitor support in ubntu [16:39] it won't do anything [16:39] I went to screen and graphics [16:39] and got nothing [16:39] cclampblue1: shoudn't.

I have a problem with ubuntu gutsy. After a FRESH install of ubuntu, at first run it automatically installs ATi drivers, then requests reboot. After reboot, the computer stops responding (or at least displays a black screen and no activity) after loading the os. Any suggestions? Everything is done automatically. [16:39] ikonia, amenado: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54864/ [16:39] jrib: http://hup.hu/node/7237 [16:39] nice not :D [16:40] !enter | goppp_ [16:40] it says manually dpkg --configure -a :: so i do this in terminal as "sudo dpkg --configure -a" and the response from the terminal is as follow: [16:40] goppp_: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [16:40] !dualhead | goppp_ [16:40] Poka: did i type it wrong: alt+f2 then in the window gnome-terminal ?

[16:40] ikonia: oh, good! [16:40] I'm using a fresh install of gutsy, I [16:40] nvm [16:40] jrib: warty full work :D [16:40] pele3 it's got th e mac address of the router - so it's talking to it [16:40] do you guys know where the Sound Blaster X-fi sound card is supported in Ubuntu (linux)? [16:40] ikonia: worked! [16:40] slipttee1: k [16:40] cclampblue1: can you navigate to the xfce menu and then find gnome-terminal? [16:41] ikonia: still no internet connection [16:41] pele3-> now what is all that #... you typed a command? what did you do there? [16:41] pele3: look at 1.) your ip address 2.) your gateway 3.) your dns servers [16:41] hey, is anyone else having problems getting http://www.google.com to come up? [16:41] pele3: it depends what information your dhcp server gabve you [16:41] Gnea: no [16:41] Hello, SELinux is preventing users from logging to their accounts, FYI I disabled the anonymous accounts [16:41] amenado: those are the comments that were in the file before I have edited it [16:41] Gnea: no works well [16:41] Gnea: nope [16:41] John08: ubuntu doesn't have selinux enabled by default [16:41] ikonia: hrm ok [16:41] Gnea: www.google.com/ncr [16:42] Poka: I don't think gnome-terminal is installed in xubuntu. Xubuntu, by its nature, does not have gnome installed [16:42] ikonia: "bound to 192.168.1.5" - I guess that this is MY ip now. [16:42] pele3-> we did not ask you yet, on the contents of interfaces, only the result of iwconfig... [16:42] jrib: look ubuntu.com website :D [16:42] Poka: no its not there. [16:42] I'm using a fresh install of gutsy, (with all the alsa- packages installed) i have an ESS Solo audio chipset, and there's no audio. I remember having it working before, but i can't remember how i got it to work [16:42] beatiful [16:42] kkkkkkkkk [16:42] danbhfive: hmm.. [16:42] :P [16:42] pele3: ok so "cat /etc/resolve.conf" and see what your dns servers are [16:42] ikonia: the router's ip is 192.168.1.1 [16:42] pele3: I think you'll find that is the problem [16:42] :( anyone able and willing to help with my problem described above? (about 2 minutes ago) [16:42] ikonia, but it is better to have it on, right, how can I allow users to access certain directories [16:42] John08: are you using ubuntu ? [16:42] ikonia: can't find that file [16:43] pele3 pastebin the result of route -n [16:43] cclampblue1: go back to xterm. [16:43] John08: because selinux isn't enabled by default so I'm curious to how you disabled something thats not enabled [16:43] pele3: /etc/resolv.conf [16:43] ikonia, actually I am using red hat for this server :( [16:43] John08: right- so why are you asking in an ubuntu support room === WhiteHat is now known as MaxPayne [16:43] ikonia: search Belkin // nameserver 192.168.1.1 [16:43] Poka: hang on ill just type it all in.... [16:43] cclampblue1: ok [16:43] upon reloading my out-dated Add/Remove Applications I am presented with an error, it says manually dpkg --configure -a :: so i do this in terminal as "sudo dpkg --configure -a" and the response from the terminal is as follows: pkg: parse error, in file `/var/lib/dpkg/updates/0059' near line 1: [16:43] field name `' must be followed by colon [16:43] pele3: looks good, try "nslookup www.google.com" [16:44] any suggestions about my problem (see above)? [16:44] what do I do now? [16:44] John08: why are you not using redhat's support process ? [16:44] i continue to see the same error [16:44] he [16:44] ikonia: what should I see? it gave me a few ips [16:44] cclampblue1: do you have xfterm4 installed btw?

[16:46] pele3: you need to change the options in your interfaces file to represent what you've done here [16:46] done danbhfive [16:46] asdroz0r: if no one answers feel free to repeat the question every 5 or 10 minutes [16:46] allright, ty [16:46] ikonia: oh [16:46] shizz: now try sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [16:46] ikonia: and what about WPA? should I forget about it with ubuntu?

[16:48] cclampblue1: so won't help in there. [16:48] danbhfive: then don't - if you don't know what your doing suggesting random stuff is dangerous [16:48] Where can I make the request free cds with all versions of ubuntu? 4.10 to 7.10? box Collection! ;-) [16:48] shizz: ok, try opening synaptic [16:48] cclampblue1: but you are very close to installing now. so you can ask other people here. [16:48] pele3: all you have done is remove the encyption and set the ESSID correctly [16:48] ikonia: i will delete the cache file [16:48] cclampblue1: gotta go dude. ;) [16:48] is there anyone that could help me with the legendary "ATI X1300 driver instalation" issue?

[16:50] pele3: give it a try [16:50] asdroz0r: dows your screen goes blank too? [16:50] amenado: why did he use it when he's just told me the router doesn't support it [16:50] Deoki: yes, it does [16:51] Gnea: I've done that too, but I'm having networking issues that never exist before now in the applications in the win32 vmware that require semi-specific settings. [16:51] amenado: I used it because of the rest of the people. [16:51] ikonia-> thats what i was wondering, why he has those activated in his interfaces file..what made him decide to do it? [16:51] Deoki: looks like ubuntu and ati are not friends :) [16:51] pele3 because the rest of the people what? [16:51] ikonia: not working (the restart) [16:51] http://xsos.deviantart.com/art/ubuntu-box-set-11944873 [16:51] ;-) [16:51] help: I just recorded a desktop session and it's stuck in "in process of saving to disk" [16:51] any idea where the file might be? [16:51] amenado: the rest of the people wanted secured network [16:51] ship-it have xubuntu yet? [16:51] FY2, I bet your using isanbul recording software?

[16:52] pele3: iwconfig eth1 see if it's associated [16:52] asdroz0r, I think its just a thing between some models, like yours and mine. Im sick of not having effects working and not even being able to update my drivers [16:52] I have a problem with Ubuntu Gutsy.

Everything is done automatically, I just say it's ok to update the drivers. Help? [16:52] :) [16:52] pele3-> are they all using ubuntu or linux kind of os? [16:52] FY2, I had the same issue with it last night. Trying to record my dual monitor + compiz desktop. It kept saying saving.. not sure what the problem was, I am going to look for using another program. [16:53] ikonia: not associated [16:53] dusty: crap.. I was recording a live stream of the NYG parade [16:53] pele3: there you go then [16:53] is there any way to install flashplugin-nonfree using the older tar file? [16:53] Gnea: if it was a package, I could bring it to the attention of the developers that such a behavior exists, and then they could go about it, I don't have the time to figure it out. I have several dozen trouble tickets of my own to figure out. [16:53] amenado: no, everyone are xp [16:53] I couldn't find a stream capture program in time [16:53] Deoki: did you try manual installation of the drivers? [16:53] ikonia: what, am I typing something wrong in the file? [16:53] eshaase: you can install the latest from adobe's website if you wish... [16:53] pele3: I don't know what your typing [16:53] pele3 you have to understand, enabling WPA/WPA2 is only between your client and your AP not really securing the end client [16:54] asdroz0r, you, many many times. no luck. [16:54] there are TONS of users with the same problem. [16:54] DRebellion: is that pretty difficult? i'm assuming its a standard linux install (configure, make install, etc.) [16:54] Deoki: ok... maybe someone succeeded :D [16:54] amenado: I see. [16:54] pele3 once more, paste the correct contents of the existing interfaces file...am sure you have to remove those wpa related lines [16:54] eshaase: bad. no. bad dog. use checkinstall [16:54] YeTr2: well i'm sure you're not the only one. i'm not getting paid to do the class that i'm in right now. the vmware support site tends to answer my vmware woes 99% of the time accurately. [16:54] eshaase: no, adobe don't supply source code :( you have to run the executable they provide [16:54] amenado: I will post the whole file in a minute [16:54] asdroz0r, well, yes, but in Gutsy I think not... :( [16:55] I'm trying to play chess in 3D but I get this message: OpenGL Python bindings and the GtkGLExt Python bindings ; what packages do I need to install?

After reboot, the computer stops responding (or at least displays a black screen and no activity) after loading the os. Any suggestions?

You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [16:56] :)) [16:56] i just repeat every 5-10 minutes :d [16:56] DRebellion: is there a good chance i can break stuff if i try? =) [16:56] sandr-: install python-opengl [16:56] dusty_ found the files in /tmp [16:57] asdroz0r: that repeat was only 3 minutes :P [16:57] !away > Repley|AWAY (Repley|AWAY, see the private message from Ubotu) [16:57] k thx DRebellion [16:57] eshaase: i would recommend waiting for the official package from ubuntu. however, if you can't forsake youtube for that long then i don't see how the install can do a _huge_ amount of harm... [16:57] danbhfive: yeah, times seems to go faster when waiting hopeless :D [16:57] sorry [16:58] sandr-: also, python-gtkglext1 [16:58] asdroz0r, Im waiting for someone to help you out cause I seem to have the same issue ^_^ [16:58] asdroz0r: have you searched the forums? You probably aren't going to get help here [16:58] k thanks ! it works [17:00] ok.. so here it goes... "Desperate user trying to update a X1300 driver to enable effects but with no success" REWARDING A KitKat chocolate bar if you live nearby in Portugal! ;_; [17:00] hi all just a question, grub can manage also the new mac os leopard? [17:00] danbhfive: i have, so has deoki. A lot of people seem to have this problem, few have found solutions. Most just migrated to another OS. I'm not yet willing to give up, I installed drivers from the official ati website and drivers provided by community members. Nothing works so far. I was hoping for.. anything [17:01] asdroz0r-> same experience with liveCD ? [17:02] Deoki-> what is the effects you are after? [17:02] amenado: the only version i used was the one downloaded from the ubuntu website (a mirror) [17:02] amenado: black screen and no activity after reboot [17:02] asdroz0r: possibly try that m8 seems a few peeps have had success with it [17:02] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver [17:02] asdroz0r-> if you have the liveCD try that and see if it works.. [17:02] Is there a way to make a folder that is writable, readable, and accessible by all users (777), but that the files within this folder can only be deleted by users with write permission on that individual file? [17:03] asdroz0r-> does it say live ? [17:03] jmlane-> have you seen the permission of /tmp directory? [17:03] I want to make a shared file directory, where everyone can add and edited files they (or their group) owns, but nothing otherwise. [17:03] amenado: Compiz and others, but the problem is related with the ati drivers getting Ubuntu to blank screen after boot. asdroz0r is having the exact same problem. [17:03] amenado: Nope. Does that involve the sticky bit? [17:03] jmlane yes [17:04] it says Ubuntu 7.10 i386 [17:04] amenado: it says Ubuntu 7.10 i386 [17:04] how can i empty a file? [17:04] asdroz0r-> i dont know if its exact same as liveCD...visit the site again and see [17:04] amenado: that is exactly what I want, thanks [17:05] When you installed did you have a full graphics desktop while installing [17:05] jmlane-> why do you want to duplicate /tmp functionality? [17:06] amenado: yes, it is the livecd [17:06] bardyr: a text file? [17:06] Hey guys. I am looking for an alternative to firefox, for Ubuntu. I've tried epiphany, but didn't like it. I'd use opera if it didn't have a screwed up Flash plugin. What browsers are there? [17:06] which computer language would help me to understand Linux? [17:07] Arelis: how is opera's flash screwed up? [17:07] Deoki-> i dont use those features, anyhow, once you installed and at first boot you only get a blank screen? [17:07] shizz: depends on what you mean by understanding linux [17:07] pike_, yea [17:07] bardyr: echo "" > filename will basically create the file empty overwriting current one [17:07] If I'm going to use tune2fs to change the percentage of reserved filesystem blocks of my ext3 file system, will I lose the data that's on it? [17:07] There's Konquerer altho it's more for KDE [17:07] !browsers > arelis (read the private message from ubotu) [17:07] danbhfive, well, first off it doesn't load (don't even get a grey space). Secondly in Konqueror (which is almost the same as Opera, i think), i get a gray field. [17:07] http://wiresmash.com/gaming/portal-flash-version/ [17:07] nice [17:07] ikonia, amenado: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54870/ [17:07] @Arelis> what is it that you do not like about firefox? what are you looking for in a browser? [17:08] zozobra, Well, i'm wanting to do most of my work on the web. [17:08] ikonia: still no DHCPOFFERS [17:08] amenado: after fresh install, ubuntu works with 2d ati drivers. But after drivers update, neither 'fglrx' driver nor official ati drivers work. So, we have no 3d support. [17:08] amenado: Shared file repository for all users on my machine. Essentially a shared FTP directory. [17:08] jrib: I am reading over the "info man" and "man -k man" and I'm realising linux is very cool. I dont know really any languages but I have attempted c/c++, js, and html...and I am now wondering what I could actually do with a linux operating system. [17:08] zozobra, So, i need a REALLY good, stable browser. [17:08] zozobra, and firefox clearly has many memory leaks and crashes often [17:08] jmlane ah okay, it makes sense.. [17:08] ikonia, amenado: only the top 15 lines [17:08] Hi there. I've a mont --bind /etc/passwd /somwhere/passwd. If I add a new user the /somewhere/passwd is not updated. Why? Its a hardlink! [17:09] Arelis: maybe its not installed, you could try installing it manually. But, to be honest, I have had trouble with the flash plugin in opera. It works, but breaks often. [17:09] shizz: read the rute book if you want a better understanding of linux. If you want to be more comfortable on the command line, then learn shell scripting like bash for example. If you want to understand the linux kernel learn C. I think python is a nifty language, so you can learn that because I think it is nifty [17:09] Arelis, this latest version of firefox is the only one I've seen have issues.

[18:00] So what is the default port for VNC? [18:00] boa tarde [18:00] UniverseMan: have you tried doing the memory check and "check cd for defects"? [18:00] danhs: no, the folder for pidgin is still .gaim for some reason [18:00] SANTAbios: You might want to tunnel VNC through SSH [18:00] TangentBuntu: then, set up an ssh tunnel [18:00] nemilar: It wasn't working when I used ~/.gaim [18:00] UniverseMan: if you get any errors that could be your problem [18:00] rinalidi: No. Is the memory check an option at the CD startup? [18:00] how would I do that for wweb, DRebellion ? [18:00] I had to move my accounts.xml file to ~/.purple [18:00] danhs: oh, I didn't realize, I Thought you were asking...that /is/ strange [18:00] then it worked.... [18:01] I'm currently sshed into the console [18:01] nemilar: Yes, very bizarre [18:01] danhs, what port is vnc listening on by default? [18:01] UniverseMan: yes, my laptop hung in the installation and turned out the ram was faulty, just an idea [18:01] nemilar, which i tried that one too bcuz i was suspicious about evince but seems that one makes same results with evince except taking less top time for processor [18:01] anyone with dualview knowledge? [18:01] danhs: actually I just looked... my .gaim is actually a symlink to .purple, I never noticed that before [18:01] SANTAbios: 5900 is what I generally see, but 5800-5900 are valid [18:01] SANTAbios: Errr I dunno....5900 or something weird like that....it's not like something like 80 like the web [18:01] rinaldi: I will try both of those, thanks. [18:02] nemilar: btw, do you have a good way to sync up my logs on windows laptop and ubuntu workstation? [18:02] nemilar: that'd be quite nice [18:02] nemilar, what is wierd for me is, i am almost sure this was not like this before even with evince [18:02] barkink: I guess it just takes a lot of processor power to display PDFs [18:02] barkink: my system usually takes a few seconds at 100% CPU to display a PDF, depending on how big it is [18:02] SANTAbios: 5900 for display:0.0 5901 for display:1.0 is the way I normally see it. [18:02] nemilar, mine is around 7MB [18:02] danhs: hmm... there's probably a program out there to do that. not really sure though [18:02] nemilar, what do u say? [18:02] barkink: how fast is your computer? [18:03] nemilar: :-p I'm sure you're right....wish I knew the name though..... [18:03] help plz [18:03] is there a way to have separate icon sets/backgrounds for different workspaces? [18:03] danhs: yeah I haven't had that need yet (sure I will someday, though) [18:03] nemilar, intel 1.8 centrino, 512 mb ram, 1024 swat [18:03] TangentBuntu: just google for ssh tunnel. there are hundreds of simple tutorials. [18:03] okay [18:03] nemilar, swap sorry [18:03] :) [18:03] I can't get to most of them [18:03] barkink: it takes about 3 seconds for evince to load up a 1MB PDF on my 2.6 single core, 1GB ram [18:04] they're blocked by school netblocker [18:04] barkink: so there's nothing wrong with your system [18:04] TangentBuntu: proxies ;) [18:04] dude [18:04] TangentBuntu: www.proxyring.com [18:04] that's what I'm trying to do [18:04] nemilar, yea but what concerns me is, i guess it wasnt like that before [18:04] I can't go there, it's blocked by schol netblocker [18:05] :( censors [18:05] nemilar, ok hold on let me test it again with time to how long it takes to open that [18:05] I'm trying to set up a tunnel or something so I can just run it through my server [18:06] ciao [18:06] hello all... I'm working off the Live CD right now. I like this a lot so far [18:06] DRebellion: I'm using a windows computer, there are no free ssh clients out there for windows afaik [18:06] TangentBuntu: putty [18:06] oh [18:07] putty does that too? [18:07] thx for help though gotta use the xbox for now since u all buissy. gotta try dualview later [18:07] TangentBuntu: yes [18:07] newberduesday: welcome and enjoy. [18:07] hi, thanks [18:07] i need some help [18:07] halp are [18:08] !ask | ahmad [18:08] ahmad: 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. :-) [18:08] Is it necessary to use the command interface (sorry, I"m new I don't know the terminology) with Ubuntu? It seems pretty user friendly. [18:08] I took out 2 Linux books and 1 Unix book for reference [18:08] i cant find logout icon and i lost the bar ? [18:08] from the library [18:08] newberduesday: it is not nessecary [18:08] newberduesday: its not necessary most of the time but learning to use it will help you alot [18:08] nemilar, ok it took a minute and 40 seconds to clam down the processor and the load was at the top now the load is getting calmed too, but ram is full while swap is almost at the half of it... [18:08] Yeah I would like to [18:08] nemilar, what do u say? [18:09] how do I access it? Through SSH or is there some other way? [18:09] I get an error while ubuntu is booting up saying "There is a difference between the memory boot record and its backup", then it throws some hex values and then states "Not automatically fixing this" [18:09] what could be the problem??? [18:09] i lost the gnome bar (the tp one )so who can i restoreit [18:09] newberduesday: just open the terminal program [18:09] newberduesday: i highly recommend becoming familiar with the command line interface. it is way more powerful and efficient than the gui. [18:09] barkink: hitting swap will slow down your computer somethin' nasty [18:09] okay, I'm so confused [18:09] newberduesday: you can use a gnome terminal emulator [18:09] i got it, Terminal Server Client? [18:09] nemilar, yea thats what concerns me cuz this wasnt like that before [18:09] ahmad: do you have another panel (like, one on the bottom) ? [18:09] no [18:09] newberduesday: no, not that [18:10] TangentBuntu: think about it very hard. it's confusing at first, but it will soon snap into place ;) [18:10] nemilar, and everytime i open that file system takes the swap [18:10] ahmad: can you open a terminal? [18:10] i can ust alt + fi to see my app [18:10] newberduesday: accessories -> terminal [18:10] newberduesday: what he said ;) [18:10] haha, thank you [18:10] alt +f1 to run my app [18:10] ahmad: if you can get a terminal open, or run a command inside gnome, run 'gnome-panel &' [18:10] yes [18:11] that will give you a panel [18:11] ahmad: you can't run that from another tty, though, I don't think [18:11] where can i see sendmail logs? [18:12] DRebellion: I see nothing on tunneling port 80 through ssh putty agh, I'm gonna cry [18:12] ahmad: if you haven't got any other way, you can create a launcher on the desktop pointing to /usr/bin/gnome-terminal and then run gnome-panel & [18:12] ok i try it it give me A panel is already running. but i cant see it? [18:12] guille1983: /var/log/sendmail ? [18:12] ahmad: killall -9 gnome-panel && gnome-panel & [18:12] TangentBuntu: just open up putty, and set up a tunnel under the profile or whatever. also, i don't recommend you stay with putty, openssh is way superior. [18:13] nemilar: I dont have that directory "sendmail" :S [18:13] guille1983: it was just a guess... I'm not running sendmail. I'm sure it's in /var/log though [18:13] DRebellion: openssh isn't for windows [18:13] nemilar: I am not able to send emails via php mail() function either [18:13] TangentBuntu: there is a windows client [18:13] nothong done? [18:14] since when? [18:14] there's putty for windows [18:14] nemilar, anyway thank you man [18:14] TangentBuntu: since i last checked [18:14] guille1983: you don't have it configured correctly ;) [18:14] !putty | TangentBuntu [18:14] TangentBuntu: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ [18:14] barkink: I doubt it's evince that's using up all that memory... track down whatever it is hogging your RAM and it should speed things up [18:14] nemilar: if I want to use an external smtp server I still must configure sendmail? [18:15] Hi [18:15] nemilar, yea, any advice for ram or memory tools for editing or chasing [18:15] How do I find out what chipset my webcam uses, besides using lsusb? [18:15] hello. someone got that with dmesg "ADDRCONF (NETDEV_UP) : wlan0: link is not ready" (my wifi card was working perflectly before the kernel update....) [18:16] barkink: ps ? === cZw0_ is now known as cZw0_aFk [18:16] guille1983: you can set it up in your php.ini ; check out the php website for more information on configuring php [18:16] hello all, I've just installed a package by synaptic called computertemp, however I cannot find it for love not more via the gui and when i type computertemp& into terminal i states it can't find it [18:16] Geez I need to get a different book. Is this the X Window System we have on Ubuntu right now? [18:16] any ideas? [18:16] nemilar, i mean for editing, for swap or ram maybe [18:16] Have anybody succeded installing the server version with no cdrom drive? [18:16] barkink: editing what/ [18:17] cox377: computertemp is an applet for the gnome panel. [18:17] nemilar, swap maybe, or even ram. [18:17] barkink: if the system monitor you can display Processes sorted by memory usage [18:17] barkink: you can't edit the contents of your ram ;) [18:17] Pici: I can't find it, how do I launch it? [18:17] barkink: you can add more swap by repartitioning, I suppose... but that isn't going to help you. === [ReD_DeViL] is now known as Red_Devil_ [18:18] cox377: Right click on a panel, click add to panel and find it in the new window that comes up. [18:18] cox377: right-click on your panel, and select add to panel. then select the computer temp applet [18:18] I need help with merging partitions. Im so confused [18:18] Pici: and the lightbulb turns on [18:18] Pici: lol cheers [18:18] nemilar, yea i know i am asking a dummy question, just wanna check if really it is [18:18] :) [18:18] ubuntu32: be more specific [18:19] has anyone heard of the moira_update port, and know what it is used for? [18:19] I need to merge some unallocated space into my ext3 root [18:19] !help [18:19] I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [18:19] ubuntu32: you can burn a gparted LiveCD and do it from there [18:19] im in live right now [18:19] i did something I shouldn't have, but I don't remember what. I cannot update packages with synaptic. Get this error E: /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-image-2.6.22-14-generic_2.6.22-14.51_amd64.deb: Verification on package /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-image-2.6.22-14-generic_2.6.22-14.51_amd64.deb failed [18:19] ubuntu32: oh, well then you're halfway there ;) [18:19] a gparted or an ubuntu cd? [18:19] I get an error while ubuntu is booting up saying "There is a difference between the memory boot record and its backup", then it throws some hex values and then states "Not automatically fixing this" [18:19] eXeCuTeR-: please converse with ubotu in a query < /msg ubotu > instead of in the channel. [18:19] how to almost completely hide a panel? the "hide automatically" option doesn't hide the panel as much as I want it to (I can still see about 5-7px of the panel) [18:19] what could be the problem??? [18:20] ubuntu32: the ubuntu liveCD comes with gparted, so either should be fine. [18:20] irc.darksin.net [18:20] ok im in live ubuntu right now [18:20] what now? [18:20] ubuntu32: ok, load up gparted [18:20] done [18:20] ubuntu32: k, are the ext3 partition and then unallocated space next to each other? [18:20] DRebellion: Theres no need to ask every user that does just one factoid to take it to a query. [18:21] no they aren't [18:21] Pici: ok [18:21] ubuntu32: ugh, then you have to move them around so they are, as far as I know [18:21] is there anyway to increase the volume in ubuntu? I've got it at max but thats still pretty quiet [18:21] ubuntu32: gparted will allow you to move partitions [18:21] ubuntu32: basically, move them so that they are next to each other, and then gparted will allow you to resize the ext3 partition to use up the unallocated space [18:21] voice try alsamixer [18:22] hi! I want to use /dev/discs/disc0/disc in my preseed-installation but the installer don't use devfs! It use udev and I can't find any similar? [18:22] ok let me try [18:22] :S [18:22] ubuntu32: you backed up all your important data first, right? always have a backup [18:22] nothing important here [18:22] ahh okay then. Risk away! [18:22] voice, double cick on the volume icon, and increase volume of the PCM [18:22] okay, thanks DRebellion [18:23] nemilar: I cant move my root and the unallocated has no option to move :S [18:23] now, one more piece of buisness [18:23] please help i can't see my main menu (the top bar gnome luncher is inviable) so how can i restore it , now i can access my main menu only using alt+ F1 [18:23] xbisont: its at max [18:23] TangentBuntu: did you get it working? [18:23] how do I start the xserver? [18:23] yeah [18:23] !panelreset | ahmad [18:23] ahmad: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [18:23] voice: what about PCM ? is it at max as well ? [18:23] yes the PCM is at max [18:23] TangentBuntu: startx , i think. but you may have to do a bit of other magic i'm unaware of... [18:23] ubuntu32: can you move whatever is between them? [18:23] k [18:24] assume I'm looking for all files within folder /home/user/folder that have the extension *.png... is there a command I can run from terminal to perform that search? [18:24] no its linux swap [18:24] Hammer89: find /home/user/folder -iname "*.png" [18:24] and it'd have to be able to search sub-folders as well [18:24] Hammer89: or just -name if you know the case of the extension. [18:25] ubuntu32: you can, if you want, remove the swap; create a new swap at the end of the drive, and then extend your ext3 partition [18:25] lol.. a response in 20 seconds... that might be a #ubuntu record for me... thanks :) [18:25] necesito un editor de video...el mas pro...recursos alternativos al Adobe premiere [18:25] ubuntu32: not sure if the liveCD will rewrite your configuration files so that everything works properly, though [18:25] argh [18:26] I need to reinstall xserver [18:26] Pici: will that search sub-folders? [18:26] hey - my laptop is overheating constantly in ubuntu. this problem just started about two weeks ago, and i've never had a problem in vista... fan works fine / thermal compound applied / everthing is clean, so i'm pretty sure it's a software problem. has anyone experienced this problem before? [18:26] Hammer89: yes. [18:26] OK, i've been typing in some commands and just getting responses... just to see what happens. Can anyone suggest a good book for a total beginner? I've done some DOS stuff, I've been using computers since 93 (12 years old) or so... I have some unrelated experience in working with commands and dealing with things that aren't in my face and image based. But I still don't know or understand Linux commands at all.

[18:33] !automatix | Ticonderoga [18:33] Ticonderoga: automatix is not recommended, supported or needed. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubotu WorksForMe » [18:34] With LVM, is it possible to convert a snapshot to become the original? lets say, I create a snapshot and then do some changes to the original (e.g. upgrade the system) just to find out, it is not worth it and I want to revert back. Can I then somehow magically get rid of the changes and revert back to the state of the snapshot? [18:34] Ticonderoga: Automatix has a bad track record of breaking installs./ [18:34] Ticonderoga: just add the non-free repos and you can install whatever codecs you want [18:35] Ticonderoga: system - administration - software sources [18:35] http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=nl&u=http://forum.ubuntu-nl.org/message/196797&sa=X&oi=translate&resnum=1&ct=result&prev=/search%3Fq%3D%2522ata2:%2B%2522%2B%2522connection%2Bstatus%2Bchanged%2522%2BUbuntu%26hl%3Den%26safe%3Doff%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26rls%3Dcom.ubuntu:en-US:official%26hs%3DKEn%26sa%3DG [18:35] ananke:~# echo $PATH [18:35] /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/games [18:35] describes my problem very well - not finding squat when I do a google search on the error messages. [18:35] Hi, how do I get composite transparencys without using compiz ?? [18:36] I'm going to ignore that link ubotu, as many users in old forum posts have praised automatix and I find that blog to be off site and unreliable.

[18:37] Ticonderoga: That blog is written by an Ubuntu developer and member (or is it head) of the Ubuntu Technical Board. [18:37] Ticonderoga: ... and you find posts from random users reliable? (note that the forums themselves do NOT endorse automatix) [18:37] brb [18:37] Ticonderoga: ubotu isnt a person its a bot, and the bot tells you not to, personally, automatix messed up my install. though it may work for some, you run the risk of messing a lot of things up [18:37] Anyone know how to get suspend/hibernate to work with a HP Pavilion dv9235nr? === patlkli is now known as patlkli|kino [18:38] Ticonderoga: In addition you are going to find it very hard to get support here if you use Automatix.

This is great thank you everyone who has helped me so far === nickspoon_ is now known as thatotherguy [18:38] That so, I can get support as said by the automatix site if caused by automatix.

[18:47] my sound card and wireless card weren't natively supported but i got that all sorted out after jumping through a lot of hoops and with some drivers etc. [18:47] DRebellion: Can I use Nautilus to mount or do I mount with good old command line? I am trying to replace my desktop with Linux and if I will have to mount every share I need to use manually... Kinda sucks. Especially since other programs open these URLs relatively easily (Firefox, open office). But editing config files with open office would kinda suck too :) [18:47] but for a linguistics project i have, i need to record the sound card's output of some internet voice chat [18:47] anyone? [18:47] Neeku: there is a script that does all the setup work for you you just chmod +x scriptname then ./scriptname [18:47] and my sound card, no matter what i do, can't do this [18:47] so i was advised to get a cheap usb sound card and i did.

[18:48] gverig: you can mount using the command line, gimme a bit [18:48] and now i have this usb sound card and i don't know how to set it up as my primary sound card for purposes of enabling capture on alsamixer so that i can capture audio output from a voice chat program running in wine and recording it in audacity to a sound file. [18:48] gverig - if you need your shares to mount automatically at boot time you can edit the /etc/fstab file [18:48] i'm open to other methods, but i've been told that this is generally the easiest way.

But I would much rather first try to figure out whether there are text editors that can use functionality provided in Ubuntu.

Add it there [19:26] neverblue: I guess so but that only works if you know the commands and if it detects the film ratio etc automatically [19:26] ok, I just plugged in an external monitor to my laptop and now I rebooted and it wont startx anymore :( how to I reset it? [19:26] but, the cd seems to work fine in explorer, (of the file broswesr... not sure on linux terms!) I just can not see anything wrong [19:26] wil: what did you use to burn it> [19:26] Pirate_Hunter, i would suggest a good read of the man and the #tovid channel, they are really helpful (when around) [19:26] how do i change the settings in the file trip_points using the 'echo' command? here is what i would like to change: critical (S5): 85 C, next line: passive: 80 C: tc1=2 tc2=3 tsp=100 devices=CPU0 CPU1. thanks for any help.

[19:29] I noticed 3 strange connections in firestarter to my computer from the same ip to ports 53217, 53209 and 53210. How can I know what are they doing and how can I terminate them?

[20:00] Jack_Sparrow, well some sort of graphical app as root [20:00] can any one help i can get dhcp server3 to start [20:00] cyber_dude: Look using gksudo nautilus [20:01] mediabuntu: what happens when you try to start it [20:01] i get (failed) [20:01] kadakas: after you boot, press ctrl+alt+f2 . and uninstall the packages you installed. and DONT PANIC ! [20:01] danand - It lets me check it and when I select enable driver I get the error: The software source for the package nvidia-glx-new is not enabled [20:01] mediabuntu: look in /var/log/messages [20:01] ok , i have just rebooted btw i was lookin in /var/log/system [20:01] cyber_dude: Since you just deleted it those files as root I assumed you were already in root.. my mistake [20:02] Tree10 - wait one.. [20:02] Jack_Sparrow:which Ubuntu cop would you recommend for someone wanting to install ubuntu as a desktop (Athlon 64 x2 5400). x86_64 or the i386 (32 bit) [20:02] Jack_Sparrow: I was logged in as root?? i am not following u === BBalde is now known as bbalde [20:03] cyber_dude: You will find the missing trash in /.Trash or /root/.Trash using gksudo nautilus [20:03] ikonia:dhcpd: Wrote 2 leases to leases file. [20:04] ronny1: Ubuntu cop ? what is that [20:04] how when it hasnt started yet ? [20:04] mediabuntu: looks like it's running then [20:04] dhcpd3 [fail] [20:04] Tree10 - Have you enabled the use of repository for restricted drivers in synaptics -> Settings -> Repositories?? [20:04] i canr start it lol [20:04] mediabuntu: it's already start [20:04] started [20:04] mediabuntu: thats why it's failing [20:05] Jack_Sparrow: I'm using the server version of Ubuntu [20:05] but it even fails to stop [20:05] Jack_Sparrow:sorry . cop=copy [20:05] mediabuntu: ps -ef | grep dhcp see if it's running [20:05] mediabuntu: it may be failing to stop [20:05] ikonia look Stopping DHCP server dhcpd3 [fail] [20:05] Jack_Sparrow:should have said distro [20:05] sudo apt-get install vlc-nox [20:05] mediabuntu: that means it failed to stop [20:05] ronny1: I run 32bit on everythin here.. even the 64 bit boxes [20:05] yes its running [20:05] Segmentation fault (core dumped) [20:06] mediabuntu: ahh ok, so the stop is failing [20:06] Anybody know if the gvfs bug in Hardy Alpha 3 has a fix? The network:/// Nautilus display error. A fix that doesnt involve changing to smb:/// [20:06] ikonia i want ot run diskless system . [20:06] Jack_Sparrow:is there a problem with the 64 bit version ? === reconnect is now known as recon [20:06] mediabuntu: possible, but not the best setup [20:06] i am installed Vlc, and i am getting segmentation fault (core dumped? what does that mean [20:06] Anyone aware of a application for ubuntu for drawing a network topology map? [20:06] i know but its sort of like a backup. my main hard disk has been failing for moths now :( [20:07] mediabuntu: diskless systems are not hte way to deal with it [20:07] danand - ok i did [20:07] ronny1: I would not say there is a problem with it. I just dont see much speed difference (at least when I tried it) [20:07] ok [20:07] <[1]panfist> how can i install the newest version of nautilus on gutsy? [20:07] iknonia ok, im going to reboot see if i can get an ip. [20:08] [1]panfist: ubuntu will tell you if updates are available [20:08] <[1]panfist> ikonia i would like to experiment with the version that's going to be in hardy heron [20:08] [1]panfist: thats not advisable [20:08] [1]panfist: just wait for hardy to come out [20:08] Tree10 - and you still get the same problem when you try to enable the driver [20:09] danand - yes [20:09] I've got a problem with ipppd ... installed it and de-installed it (with dselect). But the default-route to the ipppd is still there after boot. I de-installed all 'ppp', but the route still comes up. Does anybody know how to disable it on boot (route del... does it now) [20:09] <[1]panfist> why would it be unadvisable? would it be any harder than running kde4 on kubuntu? [20:09] I found a post that said to remove the reference to the svg loader from the gtk-2.0 gdk-pixbuf.loaders.32 setup file [20:09] Tree10 - Sorry - thats me stumped then!! :( Anyone else?? [20:09] [1]panfist: If you want to do that, the best advice is to try Hardy in its entirety. Of course, its still alpha software. [20:10] sofar, that cleared the error, though I have one more gotcha to move forward [20:10] <[1]panfist> flannel oh well i guess i will just wait [20:10] I made a dup backup of the orig file [20:10] [1]panfist: you could always try it via LiveCD [20:10] hi guys .... how can i disable telnet in my box ? [20:10] why no svg loader? seems .. well, politics or something.. [20:11] Mba7eth2, apt-get remove telnetd [20:11] svg loader is there for the current gtk-2.0 [20:11] Mba7eth2: telnet server is not running by default [20:11] what must i install to watch rmvb files [20:11] i installed ubuntu as an experiment with default partitioning and all my folders under / have 970mb free space, but my home folder (also under /) have only 227mb free space, how can that be? [20:12] b4l74z4r: how big is the partitions [20:12] ikonia: i recently installed it :) [20:12] Mba7eth2: so uninstall it [20:12] <[1]panfist> flannel if it's so unstable that it's not advisable for me to install the newest version of nautilus by itself i doubt i really want it running anyway. what's so bad about it...would it just be difficult to setup or ? [20:12] Evening, can anyone tell me the password I need to unlock the network on a Hardy Live CD? [20:12] root is 10gb [20:12] ikonia: can i just disable it ? [20:12] Mba7eth2: are you launching it through xinetd ? [20:12] Back again: I tried sudo apt-get install ubutnu-desktop, but the package isn't on the CD (I tried a desktop CD as well) and my ethernet adapter isn't enabled (but I did physically connect it to the LAN, finally). Anyone have any ideas? [20:12] Mba7eth2: it will be in system -> administration -> services [20:13] ikonia: i didn't partition manually [20:13] b4l74z4r: stick the output of "df -h" into a pastebin [20:13] MaxRide: what do you mean by "isn't enabled"? [20:13] [1]panfist: the new nautilus has dependencies of libraries that are newer than the ones in Gutsy. So you'd have to backport those, and then hope they'll live side by side and play nice (which is unlikely) [20:13] MaxRide: why are you installing ubuntu-desktop - it's already installed [20:13] ikonia: he is using server [20:14] DRebellion: ughhh another one........ [20:14] Rebel: It's not configured. In YAST I opted to config it later, but didn't realise I didn't know the ifconfig utility. [20:14] MaxRide: you need the Alternate CD, not the Desktop CD to be able to install it from the CD (the desktop CD doesnt have a repository on it) [20:14] MaxRide: yast ???? [20:14] DRebellion : thanks [20:14] MaxRide: yast ??? [20:14] Ikon: Oh, sorry....I was installing Novell on it earlier, which didn't work. [20:14] does anyone know's how to boot a .ISO from a HD [20:14] MaxRide: that doesn't explain yast [20:14] SUSE Linux w/ Novell services** === [1]panfist is now known as panfist [20:14] xubuntu .iso [20:15] flannel i see. thanks for the info [20:15] !install > sanozuke should help [20:15] MaxRide: why are you not installing the desktop version [20:15] MaxRide: sudo ifup eth0 [20:15] ok [20:15] i'll check pike [20:15] @Ikon: I want to test some PHP stuff, so I need a LAMP. Rebel, Let my get that typed in. [20:15] MaxRide: you can do that on the desktop server [20:16] MaxRide: the desktop edition acts as a great server [20:16] hi there [20:16] MaxRide: with the bonus that the desktop is confgured and ready to go [20:16] MaxRide: if you're installing a gui anyway, just go for the desktop edition [20:16] Im looking for a free E-mail server [20:16] i've got a problem with my harddisk in my notebook. It seems that the partition-table is broken. Parted allways gives me an error like "Can't have overlapping partitions". So i'm searching for a way to clean the partition table completely. Someone able to help? [20:16] !mta | blix_ [20:16] blix_: A Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) is the server software that sends and queues mail. The default MTA (and !MDA) on Ubuntu is !postfix ("exim" is also officially supported). See also !MailServer and !MUA [20:16] Rebel: Says unknown interface Ikon: How quickly can I get a LAMP server on the desktop edition? [20:16] blix_: there are plenty postfix, exim, sendmail [20:16] se where can I ask a 'up and running ' question about Java6 on Ubuntu 7.10 ?? basically the jar utility is there, but wont run from the command line [20:16] MaxRide: Linux makes no distinctions between "server" and "desktop", the different CDs merely have different default packages. You'll need the alternate CD to be able to install the desktop. And even if you can't get internet working, you'll be able to use your current server CD as a repository to install the server stuff [20:17] MaxRide: install apache2, mysql-server and php5 [20:17] right ok..thanks folks [20:17] is there any way to test a cd to make sure it is the same as a iso? I have just waisted 3 cds trying to get the latest version of ubuntu working :( the .iso works fine under virtual machines, but they all fail after boot [20:17] MaxRide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP [20:17] DRebellion: didn't work :( It just keeps trying to load gdm. The last line ubuntu shows is: "Running local scripts" or something - after a while the screen just blanks [20:17] co slychac? [20:17] more specifically..is there anything in the open source world like MS Outlook [20:17] I just want to test the latest version of ubuntu :( [20:17] i cant understand how installing nfs-common can break my gdm [20:18] blix_: evolution is closest i believe [20:18] blix_: also umm lotus notes works in linux :) [20:18] I've successfully gotten Photoshop to work under wine. I would like to change the generic image icon to the regular .psd icon. I have the image I need but I can't find out how to change it. Help please :) [20:18] evolution..ok, I do require the full works like Calender, tasks, inbox, etc.. [20:18] pike..lol [20:18] All: Excellent. I think I have a few things to try then. I'll go ahead and get the Alterate CD from the site and burn it. After that I'll try to get the GUI to install again.....Failing at that I'll just install desktop and then put apache on it. [20:18] blix_: i havent used evolution but i believe it has all the goodies [20:19] If i assing another IP-address to eth0, does Ubuntu remember that after a reboot? [20:19] MaxRide: `sudo apt-cdrom add` is how you'll add the CD to your repositories (with the alternate in the drive) [20:19] pike_ ok...I'll take a look at that. [20:19] ader10: This is not an ubuntu issue. I suggest you take a look at appdb.winehq.org and/or ask in #wine. [20:19] time to get busy. [20:19] no [20:19] DRebellion: It is an ubuntu issue. Photoshop is working fine. I just need to change the psd icons. [20:20] Flennel: Last stupid question from me for a while: Desktop-alt or Server-alt cd? [20:20] hey, I am trying to build an ircd but keep getting an error from the c compiler (this is the second ircd that has responded this way) - error is: no defined package in confdefs.h [20:20] ader10: Last time I checked, Photoshop was not native to linux, and therefore not native to ubuntu. [20:20] pike_ this looks perfect. [20:20] Where is the best place to get help with LDAP. I have slapd and phpldapadmin setup and working. And I can do an ldapsearch from a remote machine and pull the info from the ldap server. But none of the info is showing up in apple addressbook, outlook, or outlook express. [20:20] MaxRide: there is no "server alt" CD, just the "Alternate", and thats the right one [20:20] DRebellion: Forget photoshop. I'm not concerned with that. I'm trying to change an icon for a mime type. [20:20] Flannel: Roger that. Thanks! =) [20:21] DRebellion: Do you have any ideas on how to change the icon for a mime type? [20:21] Has anyone tried to getting ubuntu or other dist on a flashed x360? [20:21] How can I auto rejoin on a kick or kickban (oper) in XChat? [20:21] If i assing another IP-address to eth0 (so it'll become eth0:1), does Ubuntu remember that after a reboot? [20:21] Iradieh, That would be sweet :) [20:22] Corty you got a flashed x360? [20:22] Iradieh, Noo, i said it would be [20:22] isleshocky77: im impressed youve gotten that far :) update wiki if you have a chance when you get it working [20:22] ader10: replace the existing icon file. [20:22] Iradieh, Ah, no, just thinking [20:22] Iradieh, you do? [20:22] DRebellion: I don't have a svg though and that's what the system is using. [20:22] BernardB, I wouldn't if I were you... [20:22] BernardB: I do not recommend auto-rejoin. If you are kicked, and rejoin straight away, the op will simply ban you. [20:23] pike_: Thanks. hahah [20:23] pike_: Yeah. the manuals don't really help that much. I had a lot of going back and forth between root user setup in config in phpldapadmin to finally being able to login to it using a user. [20:24] hi all. what is the standard device for a touchpad? [20:24] DRebellion: You don't know how? [20:25] hey i get it wrking i git the ip adress [20:26] hello [20:26] DRebellion, PriceChild, I'm oper at that server, so when I'm kicked and I rejoin, banning is not an obstruction as well. Is it possible, that I only rejoin on one specific server (the server, that's practically mine)? [20:26] BernardB, i'm sure its possible to edit a script to only act on a certain network. [20:27] BernardB: tried #xchat? [20:27] PriceChild, I'm not that good in scripting. In fact, I've no clue. [20:27] how easy/smooth is a dist-upgrade, and how long will the machine be down for>? [20:27] i need some help proof reading my /etc/apt/sources.list [20:27] LjL, will try it [20:27] dir /etc/alternatives has an alias to a bunch of Java stuff, built on the fresh install of Java6. The alias to the jar utility has the wrong path, with a verion number added to one of the path elements, it would be rigth.. I dont wnat to begin to muck with this though.. Where can I ask about this setup? [20:28] LJHarb: easy . yes, smooth, yes, a little time consuming but depends on bandwidth [20:28] DRebellion: It was not nice of you to volunteer to help me and then ignore me after not reading my question. [20:28] ader10: it's a busy channel, don't take anything personally [20:29] LJHarb: A word of caution though if you have ever used automatix or to a lesser extent envy scripts to install things [20:29] Jack_Sparrow: from dapper, should i go up one distro at a time or can i jump to a newer one? [20:29] ive never done that [20:29] hi.. i haven't found my problems in forums/wiki. I guess it is too trivial. Do I need compiz (or another composite thing) to run cairo-dock? Actually it is running without but I have a ugly black window around the dock when an animation is in effect. [20:29] LJHarb: One at a time [20:29] i was planning on using some sort of apt command [20:29] Anyone about ifconfig settings? Are they reset after a reboot? What should i edit to make them permanent (i need to assign an another IP-address to eth0)? [20:29] Jack_Sparrow: whats the command to bump to edgy? [20:29] !upgrade > LJHarb (LJHarb, see the private message from Ubotu) [20:30] Webu: use the network admin gui [20:30] LJHarb: one sec [20:30] Webu: that will make them perm [20:30] ah thanks LjL [20:30] ikonia, ouch i don't have any GUI :/ === loucas is now known as SoteriouLoucas [20:30] Webu: why ? [20:30] Webu - you need to edit your /etc/network/interfaces file [20:30] Well.. It's a server :) [20:30] danand_, okey i'll try that, thanks! [20:30] Webu: you can use a desktop version as server [20:31] i need some help proof reading my /etc/apt/sources.list .can anyone help [20:31] Webu: it will help you learn the basics [20:31] eek: pastebin it [20:31] LjL :) address for that again please [20:31] !paste > eek (eek, see the private message from Ubotu) [20:31] eek: it's in the topic [20:31] LJHarb: Sorry I had to get the door...

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) [20:31] Webu - look at man interfaces for help with that file [20:31] ikonia, yeah sure, i just don't have any use for a GUI in my server. [20:32] Huh. Odd. Wikipedia isn't showing me any images for some reason. Anyone have any idea what that's about? [20:32] thank you [20:32] ikonia: your systax was wrong [20:32] Webu: can you repeat your question please? [20:32] Webu: apart from the fact that you don't know how to run basic admin task [20:32] brobostigon: what syntax ? [20:32] masterjail, [22:29:47] Anyone about ifconfig settings? Are they reset after a reboot? What should i edit to make them permanent (i need to assign an another IP-address to eth0)? [20:32] anyone tell me how to connect my phone nokia 6230 as modem to take net in ubuntu [20:32] Jack_Sparrow: yeah, this is our main dev machine tho so it cant be out of commission for too long [20:33] Webu: ifconfig settings aren't reset at reboot. [20:33] mmm... what do you want to do is assign an static IP to your server ? [20:33] ikonia: try !pastebin | eek insted of !pastebin > eek which you used, yours wont work.

[20:45] howdy :) Is there any way to remove the window decorations on one window only? I want my VNC to work similar to Window's remote desktop - when its full screen it shouldn't have a title bar so it can *really* be full screen. I'm happy to use a key combination to get the title bar back [20:45] pocketdrummer: this is the website I used, but of course, its for a G5: http://adterrasperaspera.com/blog/2006/06/20/logitech-g5-review-under-linux [20:45] !screenlets [20:45] Screenlets are little widgets for your !desktop.

[20:47] Flare183: It's a simple XML feed [20:48] Wibble-: I remember tightvnc had a java based viewer, so if that happens to be the vnc you are using, then use firefox, and hit F+11. Thats the only suggestion I got [20:48] Flare183: Just it's not ATOM/RSS compliant [20:48] Flare183: Why do you have to erstart the machine to pick up a change to sudoers?

With Kubuntu I got 8000 fps with glxgears, but now in Ubuntu with Compiz "almost" turned off I get 6000. [21:07] How do I make it completly turned off? [21:07] JvA: disable "desktop effects" [21:08] ikonia, did that. And then I got 6000 fps instead of 3000. [21:08] ikonia, still 2000 fps too slow. [21:08] JvA: ati card ? [21:08] ikonia, NVIDIA 8600GT [21:08] JvA: What are you going to do with that last 2000 fps? Hang it on the wall? ;-) [21:08] JvA: 6000 fps is 100 frames per second (isn't that fast enough)? [21:08] oooh really, not sure how the support for the 8600 is to be honest [21:09] i followed these guide, but at step : sudo make install ; i get the these error : : /usr/sbin/athenable: Command not found [21:09] http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Download [21:09] DRebellion: 6000fps is 6000 frames per second [21:09] straterra and DRebellion: The thing is that when I move a window I notice that it renders much more badly then with Kubuntu. When I play movies fast, the same problem. Compiz is crap for video quality :/ [21:09] proppi: aww crap, i'm converting from frames per minute :/ too much maths revision... [21:09] ikonia, the support is good in the nivida-glx-new driver at least. [21:10] What are some tips to free up memory on kubuntu? [21:10] heh, i figured ;P [21:10] JvA: not that good, your not getting the frame rates you want [21:10] well [21:10] ubuntu and kubuntu is still kde vs. gnome [21:10] The thing is that I clearly see rectanglemarks on the screen. Like, if I watch a fast action movie I see the picture being drawn.

It seems rather weird. === WladimirUl is now known as erle- [21:11] DRebellion: that was middle clicks fault [21:11] JvA: I agree [21:12] JvA: nothing that points at compiz obviously though [21:12] I think irssi interprets \n as a [21:12] jva. well, gnome has some built in transparency and perhaps some other bloat that kde doesn't or kde did better (dont know how, kde is bloatheaven) [21:12] lamalex: i think unix interprets \n as a [21:12] proppi, can the transparency be turned off? [21:12] JvA: thats part of meta city [21:12] jva: im thinking of transparency for the panels and terminals and such, metacity [21:13] JvA: does ps -ef | grep compiz show it as running [21:13] ikonia: metacity has no actual transparency... [21:13] just pseudo transparency by putting on an image [21:13] ikonia, nope [21:13] does anyone know how to restore stuff made with Simple Backup ?

[21:19] ouellettesr: I do [21:19] brobostigon: not really (technically - yes) [21:19] it's just so much fun! NOT. [21:19] its is possible to view the machine code which is actually assembly code [21:19] ouellettesr: Maybe try the mysql room?

[21:20] proppi: that would be in the repos maybe [21:20] some disassemblers is available for i.e. java to take the machine code into assembly and back upto java code. [21:20] ikonia, brobostigon: i thought there was a decompiler in the repos, but i either imagined it, or it's been removed. anyway, it's pretty clear you can never get back the original source (with meaningful variable names and loop structures, etc), the best a decompiler would give you is some correct, but unintelligible, C code [21:21] LjL: exactly - technically you can, in reality not really [21:21] LjL: right, but we are looking for the assembly code, not the c code [21:21] HankDogDaddy: then it's not a decompiler, but a disassembler. different thing.

[21:34] randunel: what vga ? [21:34] IdleOne: what kind of nic? [21:34] mlr: ati radeon x1950pro [21:35] bobbo: Does 'cat /proc/partitions' show any indication that the drive was added? [21:35] Hello everybody [21:35] randunel: raestricetd drivers or follow link above [21:35] Bethesda, DRebellion I have tried everything, DHCP/Static ip roam enabled and disabled. it just does not work and I dont know what else to do . internet does not work with live cd either === whitman_ is now known as whitman [21:36] tomd, onboard SiS gigabit something or other [21:36] IdleOne and mlr, there is a better guide (up-to-date) for the *new* ati driver (8.1 catalyst) at http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide#Method_2:_Install_the_Catalyst_8.1_Driver_Manually [21:36] How could I find the "synaptic package manager" downloaded packages?! [21:36] dont know exact model name ATM [21:36] stroyan: i think ive found it, its just showing up with the wrong numver of partitions [21:36] IdleOne: sounds like a nasty card [21:36] IdleOne: is the module loaded? [21:36] mlr, the link provided is for an *outdated* driver !! [21:37] tomd, I am on windows right now but I do not believe module was loading, I may be wrong . [21:37] IdleOne, do you have any connection at all? ( behind your PC ) [21:37] hi guys, is there something similar to notepad, i could install? [21:37] need help. new to linux, ubuntu and to computers. wireless won't work. can anyone help? [21:37] IdleOne: well, you're going to have to check that before you proceed fixing it [21:37] Bethesda, I can ping internal ip but not router ip [21:37] what would openshh be useful for? [21:37] sunseeker888_: ... gedit? [21:38] sunseeker888_: you already have gedit applications -> accessories -> text editor [21:38] IdleOne: if you can ping, you might just be using lo [21:38] Synaptic package manager download packager in which directory?! [21:38] cybo: first, calm down. [21:38] bahman: what did you install? [21:38] Thanks, still learning [21:38] cybo: then calming describe the rpoblem [21:38] is there a way to disable desktop effects when using battery power? [21:38] DRebellion Its different?! [21:38] tomd, seems so. I also have a realtek nic in the machine that worked fine before on my older machine but not anymore [21:39] !equivalents > sunseeker888_ (read the pm from ubotu - may interest you) [21:39] I install lots of things! [21:39] Hi all, is there any way to prevent X from starting when you're installing from the desktop CD? I need to install a driver before X boots for the first time, otherwise I get an unreadable resolution [21:39] bahman: i am confused as to what you are trying to achieve. [21:39] Did anyone notice the nautilus errors on 8.04 by the way? Any way I can bypass that at the moment? [21:40] is there any advantage to compiling your own programs from source as opposed to using the repos? [21:40] Cheers DRebbellion [21:40] Bethesda: #ubuntu+1 [21:40] HankDogDaddy, no as a matter of fact it might be worse [21:40] DRebellion I install lots of things! infact I wanna to know APTonCD create a backup from which directory?! [21:40] Allright, let me rephrase my problem. I succeeded in following the steps from an installer guide, yet I get an unusual error (in the error logs), also getting a white screen (white cube) after logging in. The error(s): fglrx(0): [agp] unable to acquire AGP, error -1023; fglrx(0): cannot init AGP; fglrx(0): atiddxDriScreenInit failed, GPS not been initialized. [21:40] HankDogDaddy, packages in the repos may not be latest and greatest but they work [21:41] IdleOne: I gotcha, its just, compiling from source is really the only 'universal' way to install things on linux [21:41] randunel: sry mm8, off my league [21:41] IdleOne: I was kind of wondering if it would be a valuable skill to learn [21:41] tapoxi: Do you run livecd ok? [21:41] IdleOne: I've done it following instructions for a couple different applications [21:41] mlr, ok, thank you at least for taking interest :) [21:42] DRebellion ex. I download and also install Kalzium in Ubuntu, in which directory could I found the downloaded package of Kalzium?! [21:42] HankDogDaddy, well if you insist. install in /opt. always good to know how to compile I guess. most major distros provide packages pre-configured for the OS [21:42] bahman: are you talking about the .deb file ? [21:42] By the way MLR, thanks for that link. [21:42] DRebellion Yeah [21:42] DRebellion :D [21:43] bahman: could have just said so... [21:43] mlr, can you alt least help me with a forum where I might find someone to assist me? :) [21:43] bahman: /var/cache/apt/archives/ [21:43] Jack_Sparrow: No, I need to install my ATI FireGL driver first, then wait for X to try and start again. It's just a hassle typing when I can't see, and I'd prefer X not try until I type startx [21:44] DRebellion .deb file which downloaded with the "synaptic package manager" in Gnome desktop environment of Ubuntu [21:44] DRebellion let me see [21:44] Jack_Sparrow: once installed, it runs fine. I'm on the livecd now [21:44] randueđ [21:44] randunel: ubuntu.com? [21:45] mlr lol ok. ty. [21:45] DRebellion Really thanks :* [21:45] I'm trying to compile a vanilla kernel. I make two deb packages, one for headers and one for the kernel itself, and it installs the script in the deb's that adds the new kernel to the grub menu. But it's not actually being added to grub. What's up with that? [21:45] tapoxi:I doubt you are going to get that driver in place that way from live cd [21:46] tapoxi: You can however, force it to vesa mode, then once installed get the driver in place. How did you get into live? [21:46] How do i convert a ogg movie to a AVI, MPEG, Quicktime, Real, and Windows Media file? [21:46] how do you strectch the gnome panel across dual screen setups? [21:46] Flare183: i recommend mencoder [21:46] Jack_Sparrow: I installed the driver while running the livecd, it's running the propreitary firegl driver now. It does work, I just want to disable X until I give it the cue to start. [21:46] DRebellion: ok [21:47] lufis: You installed the kernel image with dpkg -i ?? Do you have more than one bootable disk, so grub may be looking at a different menu.lst than the install? [21:47] !dualhead > dusty_ [21:47] stroyan: nope, only one disc... and yes, dpkg -i [21:47] tapoxi: I have no idea on how to do that. [21:47] Jack_Sparrow: Oh well, thanks [21:47] Flash still broken I take it [21:47] Morning all. My sound is still poked after yesterdays updates. I've spent hours trying to find a fix. Apparently there was a patch submitted years ago. [21:48] stroyan: i would add it manually to the grub menu but i'm afraid i don't know enough about boot options etc. to do that === josh is now known as Sukta [21:48] josh: Easy enough to install manually for people that insist on having it. [21:48] I'll deal without [21:48] Jack_Sparrow, I have dual monitor setup working. I just want the gnome panels stretched across the two monitors rather than being on the one. Looking at the link you gave me doesn't answer my question ? [21:48] i just go tthe system ruinning again [21:48] are there any tricks and/or tips for compiling banshee from svn on 7.10? [21:48] im still trying the basics :S.... I am trying a app that is for linux, do I got for the tar or rpm? [21:49] i'm in a live session. how do i mount teh hard drive called /dev/sdc so i can get files from it? [21:49] dusty_: the only other link I know of is for twinview [21:49] Bulwinkle: my tip: don't. just install from repos. [21:49] hmm [21:49] Sonja: sudo mount /dev/sdcX /media/partition [21:49] lufis: You could copy an existing line in menu.lst and change it to point to your new kernel. But it really should have just worked. Perhaps 'sudo update-grub' will add it. [21:49] Is there any boot flag to disable X on the desktop cD? [21:49] *CD [21:50] how can i check if my nfs is exporting [21:50] ? [21:50] DRebellion: but there is all kinds of new stuff not in the repo :) [21:50] Bulwinkle: ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mount /dev/sdcX /media/partition [21:50] mount: mount point /media/partition does not exist [21:50] tapoxi: single would work, then you could disable gdm amybe [21:50] /media/whateveryouchoose [21:50] Sonja: sudo mkdir /media/partition [21:50] ok [21:50] bonsoir [21:51] Bulwinkle: ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mount /dev/sdcX /media/partition [21:51] mount: special device /dev/sdcX does not exist [21:51] !fr | varitech [21:51] varitech: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais. [21:52] Sonja: X = Should be equal to a partition number [21:52] stroyan: let's see... [21:52] what if that hard drive only has 1 partition [21:52] then zero? [21:52] Sonja: no, 1 [21:53] so is apparmor new to 7.10? [21:53] stroyan: Worked! :) [21:53] stroyan: Thanks [21:53] lufis: good. But still mysterious... [21:53] stroyan: could be because i'm running hardy, bugs and all [21:54] i'm running ubuntu 7.10 from a usb drive I installed as described here: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2007/09/28/usb-ubuntu-710-gutsy-gibbon-install/ for some reason it isn't allowing me to add the restricted drivers for my nvidia card [21:54] hello, i have ubuntu desktop with two virtual desktops. often when i open program in left desktop, its window is so large that some pixels goes into right desktop. why is that and how can i avoid that ? [21:54] andrisp: you have dual head? [21:54] hi can I install on a system with only 128mb of ram? [21:55] !xubuntu | johnficc1 [21:55] johnficc1: Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME.

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [21:55] Robbster: no, just to virtual desktops (i hope that the right name for this) and one screen [21:55] Sound Problem: Lenovo Z61m and 7.10. Solved with backported kernel (2.6.22-14), but that kernel breaks WIFI.

I am trying a app that is for linux, do I got for the tar or rpm? [21:57] tar [21:57] johnficc1: you can, but it won't be pleasent. look at some of the minimal window managers - full gnome may be too heavy [21:57] wil_, what's the app? Chances are it might be in a repository [21:58] sunseeker888, try http://www.speedtest.net/ [21:58] sunseeker888, there's a lot of different servers to test your connection with :) [21:58] vmware player [21:58] i am just fed up, using a old version of ubuntu and the repositorys are not working, and I am having trouble installing apps :( [21:58] Robbster: thanks [21:58] Thanks webu [21:58] webu: an y that work, without the need for flash or java??

[22:00] johnficc1: Scroll back... see !minimal [22:00] wil_: what version r u usin..... [22:00] deadlyallance737: apparently there is some success with tablet - but I guess it depends on which tablet and how much time you have . [22:00] webu: a connection speed test, but my machine has no jave, and no flash?? [22:00] Indiadev_Techie, wil_ is on Breezy [22:00] I have created 3 iso cds with diffrent burners on diffrent pcs, and every time, it boots to the menu, but when I choose a option, it just says boot error or something and restarts :( [22:00] I have tried on diffrent pcs, so there is some sort of error here [22:00] deadlyallance737: from what I've heard, setting up X with the tablet should JustWork(tm) [22:00] brobostigon, try to download larger files from a good location.

I did a simulation before burn, and did a check and all the files are there [22:01] !verify | wil_, means this [22:01] wil_, means this: 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 [22:01] deadlyallance737: I'm the wrong person to ask - try posting to the ubuntu forumns?

[22:02] I dont know how to do md5... but I have downloaded twice on diffrent pcs and burnt three times, but I get the error each time [22:02] robster ok thanks dude [22:02] brobostigon, it depends where you live, you can try Ubuntu's CD-images from a nearby download location :) [22:02] I guess for me, I am going to go back to windows (may not be perfect, but works for what I need), and when my shipit stuff comes, il try again [22:02] webu: i get average, over 200kbps [22:03] wil_: try to update it or do a clean format.... with ubuntu v7.10 [22:03] wil_: Get the md5 checker.... and burn at the slowest possible speed [22:03] I know some people said that it is not ideal to upgrade to big releases, it is best to do a fresh install... but I just want to check a few things and see if I can use ubuntu for what I need.... is there any command I can use to update 5.10 to the latest? [22:03] brobostigon, you mean over 200 KB/s?

[22:04] wil_: technically you can, but it will be quicker and less painful to just get the latest iso and write that. [22:04] brobostigon, yeah, that's an average for a 2Mbit (download) connection. [22:04] wil_: yes, u should go for n fresh install..... [22:05] i can't access the files in /media/xyz/home/sonja [22:05] hello! im new to ubuntu and linux and still in the trial phase. i could use some help with configuring grub.

[22:08] Guys, I need to get a webcam. Are most webcam compatible or do i need a specific few brands? [22:09] brobostigon: i can download the whole iso of ubuntu alternate within 25 to 35 minutes.....

[22:26] quit [22:26] edico - you need about 100Mb for /boot about 5-20 Gb for /root (depending on how many packages your planning on installing), swap should be 1-2x the ammount of ram you have, /home should be as big as you can spare [22:26] also while i'm here.. is there a reason why i can't play an mp3 through xmms an amarok at th same time? [22:26] #/part [22:27] edico - if you do need to change partition sizes later you can do it with GParted [22:28] hwat are some commands to see whs connected to you? [22:28] /msg ubotu flashissues [22:28] ANyone here know how to fix sound problems with audio modules not loading? http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=4271903&postcount=23 [22:28] Aggrav8d - hmmm.... [22:28] I want to make just a partiion for ubuntu and one for debian because I already have gentoo spread on many partition and linux doesn't handle more than 3 primary partition and 12 logical [22:28] cr4z3d`, that's possible since the switch doesn't light up, it should see your ethernet card no matter do you have any IP assigned or anything. [22:28] can any one help me go disk-less , im finding it very hard [22:29] edico, that's more like a BIOS problem IIRC [22:29] cr4z3d`, like your ethernet isn't powered up at all. [22:30] any one know how i can see whats inside a initrd.img-2.6 [22:30] [Q] I want to have the usfullnuss of ubuntu server but I need to run programs that use the gui, can i still have the programs run at startup with out needing to login? [22:30] Webu, definitely seems like it's not powered up at all.. and i'm not really sure how to go about getting it up [22:30] solexious: yes of course, it's the same system [22:31] Aggrav8d - wonder if your smbpasswd data base got clobbered in the upgrade - could try sudo smbpasswd -a username and see if that helps [22:31] astro: how can i get then to run with out logging in? [22:31] I still don't get why my flux hangs on screensave [22:31] cr4z3d`, do you know which Acer model do you have? [22:32] It's wierd [22:32] Webu, yeah travelmate 8200 [22:32] danand_ - tried it. reloaded. still no go. :( [22:32] Is Alsa what gives support to audio hardware? Or is it in the kernel? [22:32] Any idea why after some time my keyboard (notebook) does not work anymore in ubuntu? More precise: I boot. then do my things, and after a while the keyboard does not work anymore... [22:32] Aggrav8d - you sure firewall is not blocking?? [22:33] danand_ - no, i'm not sure. where do i check? [22:33] astro: how can i get then to run with out logging in?

It freezes whenever it gets to a certain percentage during the installation. [22:36] !wubi [22:36] wubi is an unofficial Ubuntu installer for Windows users - more info is at http://www.cutlersoftware.com/ubuntusetup/wubi/en-US/index.html [22:36] mohbana: do you want a script to install all the pkgs for you or just a list of packages [22:36] neverblue: ok [22:36] Is there some shortcut key-combination that will exit XDM or FluxBox and go back to the command line? [22:36] aseem, install script [22:37] !automate > mohbana [22:37] that you will have to write one yourself, dpkg -l will gove you a list which you can run through awk to get the pkg name [22:38] cr4z3d`, what does "lspci" say about your ethernet card? [22:38] I have a question, trying to boot from a 2.6.24 kernel I got from git and the entries for where to boot from are the same in grub but for some reason the 2.6.24 kernel says it cant find hd0,0 why is this? [22:38] Lagginator: alt-ctrl-backspace [22:38] for e.g.: dpkg -l | awk '{print $2}' | xargs apt-get -y install - use it with care though [22:38] Aggrav8d - run sudo iptables -L. This should list all your firewall preferences - You should have something like ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:microsoft-ds under Chain INBOUND header [22:38] cr4z3d`, you could also try "dmesg" to check out is there something regarding it. [22:39] pike: that gets me to the XDM login screen [22:39] pike: nvm, lol, its weird [22:39] pike: Thank you, the first few times it didn't work =/ [22:40] Lagginator: oh yeah i normally dont run xdm with flux. you could set something up to kill it is uppose [22:40] ah,k [22:40] Webu, intel corporation 82573E gigabit ethernet controller (copper) (rev 03) [22:40] danand_ - fail2ban-SSH tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:ssh [22:40] mohbana: also use the -s flag for apt-get to just make sure that you dont break anything - it simulates an install [22:40] that's the closest thing i have. [22:41] Aggrav8d - you don't see any entries for microsoft-ds? [22:41] nope [22:41] aseem, thanks ive found one !clone > aseem [22:41] it does exactly what i had in mind [22:41] Aggrav8d - do you use the gnome desktop on your system? [22:42] no, it's a server. i'm strictly command line, here. [22:42] i only installed fail2ban coz i was tired of some script kiddies trying to log in. [22:42] what files in /etc/ should i avoid restoring after a re-install? anything besides fstab and mtab? [22:42] Aggrav8d - uh oh :) - what is fail2ban? [22:43] too many failed logins in a finite period and you get banned. [22:43] I don't like how the ubuntu default cursor is, how do i change it? [22:43] Aggrav8d - k [22:43] but i'm not seeing a warning about being banned coming up. [22:44] unbans them after 24hrs or something. [22:44] in any case, fail2ban didn't trip on samba. [22:45] Aggrav8d - ok - do you have another machine available with a port-scanner (nmapfe) on it [22:45] HI [22:45] nope. [22:46] I don't like how the ubuntu default cursor is, how do i change it? [22:46] I have used ClamWin many times, but this is my first time using ClamAV (Gutsy). How long (guesstimate) should ClamAV take to scan a USB HDD compared to ClamWin? (a lot faster, a lot slower, about the same) [22:46] need help guys [22:47] Aggrav8d - Have you made any changes to your firewall / iptables prior to samba stopping working? [22:47] cant install the nvidia driver? [22:47] i have formated a used hard drive into ext 3 with gparted and i don't know how to make it mount at startup. can i do that with gparted? [22:47] danand_ - i nmap localhost and see that 445/tcp microsoft-ds is open. [22:47] help? [22:47] danand_ - i changed nothing other than the update/upgrade. [22:48] NForc3r: speakl out..... [22:48] how much space should i allow for root? [22:48] NForc3r: what.... [22:48] cr4z3d`, your ethernet card should work with e1000 driver which should be included with Ubuntu. I suppose you're running 7.10? [22:48] Webu, yep i am running 7.10 [22:48] ok, trackerd keeps taking up loads and loads of cpu on my fiance's computer, how can i stop it from doing that? [22:48] cr4z3d`, does ifconfig show hwaddr? [22:48] it does it even when she's not running serches [22:49] *searches [22:49] (btw, thanks for the help, danand_) [22:49] i install the nvidia driver for my 8800 gts (the new one with no restricted drivers) and it wont auto start and every time i restart my computer it runs in failsafe graphics mode [22:49] the driver wont autostart* [22:49] HELLO [22:49] Webu, yes it does and actually now i seem to have eth0 and eth0avah ? [22:49] I AM BACK [22:49] Aggrav8d - think localhost is always open - its connections from outside that may be blocked. First thing I would try is to add a command to iptables to open the required ports. Unfortunately i use a gui for that so i don't know the way to do that on the command line :( [22:49] Webu, etho:avah * [22:50] go back away? [22:50] is 40gb for root and the rest for home and swap ok? [22:50] ? [22:50] i have formated a used hard drive into ext 3 with gparted and i don't know how to make it mount at startup. can i do that with gparted? [22:51] Any NFS specialist around ? For some reason when I automount an NFS Filesystem from system B on system A and shutdown system B, the Filesystem remains 'in use' on system A making it unable to unmount. Only a restart of the nfs-kernel on A works. What might cause this ? [22:51] Any NFS specialist around ?

[22:52] how can i have ubuntu automatically remember the keychain password for network manager [22:52] ill try envy [22:52] Did the latest updates contain kernel updates? Has it broken Alsa for anyone else? [22:52] danand_ - can telnet to the server on 445 from a windows box and it doesn't disconnect me. [22:52] Hey - ive been looking for a decent text editor (mainly using it for xhtml/css) .. only feature im after is the auto-completion function that dreamweaver has.. any suggestions? [22:52] (norty) go into system-preference-apparence [22:52] Kenn: Bluefish Editor [22:53] what files in /etc/ should i avoid restoring after a re-install? anything besides fstab and mtab? [22:53] the sound is a bit thinner in ubuntu than in xp [22:53] Kenn - notepad++ ? [22:53] Webu, i have to restart real quick so if you think of anything hold on like 2 minutes [22:53] mindframe_: what about the udev stuff? nothing machine specific in there? [22:53] mindframe_: I don't know.. just thinking out loud [22:53] Slart, same machine... and yeah i've got some stuf i need to keep in udev [22:54] Hemebond: you positive it got that feature? been trying tons of diffrent editors, most of them wants you to write the line before you can 'autocomplete' it, which takes away the whole point [22:54] Kenn: Lemme check. [22:54] Hemebond: cheers :) [22:54] mindframe_: can't think of anything else... [22:55] how much space should i give root? [22:55] Aggrav8d - doesnt appear to be a firewall problem then - maybe we're barking up the wrong tree with iptables .... [22:55] b4l74z4r: a little more than you're going to use =).. do you have everything in one partition? [22:55] Kenn: It's very small. Would take about a minute to download yourself. [22:56] b4l74z4r: mines only 4gb, but the size depends on what you are going to do with the machine?? [22:56] Hemebond: yea i guess you are right, ill give it a shot :) brb [22:56] b4l74z4r: then update ur audio driver.... my ubuntu worl like charm without installing the drivers.... nd the sound is cristal clear..... [22:56] b4l74z4r: if you have separate partitions for /usr and /home then root won't take much space.. a couple of Gb or so [22:56] Aggrav8d - you say you can use telnet (?) to connect to your machine on that port? [22:56] Kenn: I can't see any option for autocomplete. [22:56] Slart: i want to use seperate partitions for root, swap and home and i will use it for a little linux gaming and media collection [22:56] Kenn: Nor does it appear to be on by default. [22:57] i have formated a used hard drive into ext 3 with gparted and i don't know how to make it mount at startup. can i do that with gparted? [22:57] b4l74z4r: ah.. then you'll have /usr on there too.. I'd say.. 15-20 Gb at least.. that'll leave you some room for open office etc [22:57] Aggrav8d - samba uses ports 137-139 and 445 on my machine [22:57] ok [22:58] cr4z3d`, welcome back :) [22:58] i'm plan to get a 500gb drive, maybe i should give it 40gb just to be completely sure? [22:58] Webu, thanks [22:58] cr4z3d`, check out what's the device ID with "lspci -nn" for your ethernet card :) [22:59] Hemebond: it actually had that feature - for html only tho, im almost there :) [22:59] hey, is there a channel devoted to the x window system (xorg, x11)? [22:59] cr4z3d`, that 8080:8080 number in brackets. [22:59] oh [22:59] can anyone help me open a rar file from a terminal? i added the rar program but it dont got a gui, so im in truble :) [22:59] yes, there is [22:59] Webu, [8086:108c] [23:00] BurningPanda: just type "rarprogramname --help" [23:00] on the subject of swap space, i have 2gb ram, how much space should i give swap? [23:00] Is it possible to make a .deb that downloads files from some versioning system like svn? [23:01] gibobo - is that a new partition you want to mount in an existing OS or do you want to install a new OS to that partition? [23:01] b4l74z4r: u cal aslo assign 20gb partition to root partition... 2 - 4gb partition to swap.... and the rest for storage.... download..music ect.... [23:01] Kenn: What do you mean by autocomplete. Several seem to insert the closing tag (which annoys the crap out of me). [23:01] smn@smn-laptop:~$ rar--help [23:01] bash: rar--help: command not found [23:01] danand is that a new partition you want to mount in an existing OS [23:01] ok [23:01] should swap be between root and home? [23:01] BurningPanda - unrar file ... [23:01] BurningPanda: rar --help [23:01] BurningPanda: rar --help [23:02] man rar [23:02] is there a different 'pool' folder in the dist for ubuntu for 64-bit kernels ? [23:02] missed a spsce [23:02] BurningPanda - sorry - unrar e file.rar [23:02] right thanks [23:02] hi [23:02] Hemebond: well basicly, if i would start typing something, for example 'ba', dreamweaver would give me a few options starting on 'ba', like background...

[23:03] gibobo - you will need to add that partiton to your /etc/fstab file [23:03] This is probably a dumb question... Is the reason I can't download or use flash plugins because I'm operating on the Live CD? Or does Ubuntu/Linux just not accept those plugins? [23:03] bonsoir [23:03] !flash [23:03] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (for !Dapper and !Edgy, a recent version is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash - The Flash package is currently BROKEN, see « /msg ubotu FlashIssues » [23:03] Kenn: I've never looked for it in an editor. Nor have I ever used it. [23:04] gibobo - the auto option will cause the partition to be mounted to wherever you specify at boot time [23:04] cr4z3d`, hmm okey, i think you just should try to disable any wireless stuff, do a "sudo modprobe e1000" "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" just in case and check out does it work. You might need to try ifdown/ifup and dhclient for that interface (eth0). [23:04] how? i'm using gparted === justin__ is now known as aroo [23:04] Webu, alright will do and see what happens [23:04] oh geez how do I scroll up if I'm in irssi? [23:04] cr4z3d`, okey :) [23:04] ahorriblemess, page up/page down [23:05] haha thanks [23:05] but hey [23:05] works. thanks! [23:05] microphex - edit your /etc/fstab file - add the option "auto" to the listing for your winXP drive [23:05] Hemebond: bah, i feel rather crippled without it, as im used to it.. guess it made me rather lazy :) .. well, thanks for the help mate, so far bluefish was the best actually [23:05] thanks [23:05] ahorriblemess, use irssi-proxy and xxchat [23:05] best combination ever [23:05] how do you use those in combination? [23:05] danand: does the flags option have something to do with that [23:06] danand: if a flag it as boot? wiil it work [23:06] mindframe_, irssi-proxy acts like an IRC server [23:06] Kenn: If you search Synaptic for "html editor" you get tonnes. I would just install them and try them out. [23:06] oh you said proxy :) [23:06] irssi-proxy is an irssi feature [23:06] Hemebond: yea thats basicly what ive been doing so far.. tried a good 10 or so, starts to get pretty boring tho :) [23:06] one of it's bests [23:06] Kenn: Agreed. I've done it before. I end up just using gedit. [23:06] hey, I need to start xorg on this server so I can run gaim and such on it [23:07] currently I'm using xchat, but if you VERSION me, you'll see I'm using irssi [23:07] Hemebond: i guess i will end up doing the same in a few hours.. :) [23:08] gibobo - no, you can't use gparted for that. Instead you need to edit your /etc/fstab file. This is where all the info about what drives you have and what to do them is store in GNU/Linux or Ubuntu. You can edit this file using gedit for example. [23:08] can someone tell me what the purpose of /usr/bin/X11 is. it seems to be just a clone of /usr/bin/ [23:08] sorry if thats a stupid question [23:08] ok thanks [23:08] gibobo - you need to be careful editing that though :) [23:09] anyone else got any suggestions on editors? (html/css mainly), with the autocompletion featured in dreamweaver? [23:09] before i start going thru the whole list.. :) [23:09] scite? pretty sure that has an auto complete. [23:09] g^: only if you typed the word before, taking away the whole point :/ [23:10] Como resolver? Você sabe? [23:11] my laptop started overheating whenever i do graphics intense operations in ubuntu. this doesn't happen in windows. i have cleaned my vents / applied thermal compound etc.. to no avail. i've installed various modules and power saving software in ubuntu, but nothing helps. i have been messing with this for a week now, and unfortunately i might have to switch back to xp if i can't fix it, since i do graphic design. has anyone ex [23:11] perienced these issues? i have a gateway mx8715 laptop. [23:12] normally you download software and install it from the /tmp dir? [23:12] or from your user dir? [23:12] installation doesn't seem to go correctly [23:12] why does linux always put downloaded stuff in /tmp? [23:12] Hey all: Suppose you're dual-booting Ubuntu and Windows XP and want to delete the Windows partition. Is it as simple as deleting its partitions? [23:13] don't do that p0rk [23:13] use windows or linux and wine [23:13] danand_ - i also tried smbclient -L and it shows the share i'm trying to access. [23:13] idefix, how are you trying to install software? [23:13] by running a script [23:13] idefix, make and make install right? [23:13] no [23:13] idefix: linux doesn't download anything, usually [23:14] idefix, what are you trying to install? You should get it from the repositories if possible. [23:14] idefix: I'm sorry, I don't follow--should I just not bother even trying to delete the windows partition? [23:14] the script is called glGo.install script [23:14] idefix: if an app puts stuff in /tmp it's entirely the app's fault :P [23:14] p0rkrunning multi boot is a dream [23:15] Chousuke, whenever I download stuff it almost always goes to /tmp [23:15] idefix, how do you download stuff :O? [23:15] idefix: Not really...I don't need the windows partition anymore and have about 50 GB just sitting on my harddrive doing nothing. [23:15] p0rk-> yes as easy as formatting that partition [23:15] idefix: well then you should configure your download app so that it doesn't put it there [23:15] amenado: Thanks. [23:15] Aggrav8d - wierd - all seems to be ok - but still no connection? - no wonder your Aggrav8d :) [23:16] hm p0rk I think so right? just delete it it won't hurt linux [23:16] its goodbye windoze [23:16] hey guys, hardy heron doesn't look bad, anyone has some screenshot archives or videos?

I'm trying to install Ubuntu Gutsy using the Live CD, and the installation stuck at 82%, and it says that it's "reading the mirrors"...is there a way to bypass this part of installation or abort it so that I can start all over again? [23:18] PriceChild, well... do you have more? [23:18] Webu, when you use ubuntu which extension fits? [23:18] I need help installing xorg server on this computer [23:18] idefix, i'd suggest to download that Debian package and do a "dpkg -i glGo-1.4.deb" as stated in instructions :) [23:18] rullie, read what ubotu said [23:19] idefix, Debian packages should work fine since Ubuntu is Debian based. [23:19] s/join #ubuntu+1 [23:19] oops [23:19] Aggrav8d - hope you get sorted - maybe try in #samba channel - see if they can shed any light?

[23:20] but I'm just not sure [23:20] what sort of install, idefix ? [23:21] dpkg -i glGo-1.4.deb [23:21] idefix, download it anywhere you want, i'd prefer your home directory. [23:21] a manual configure, make, make install? [23:21] or like an SVN/BZR ? [23:21] idefix, it installs it automatically where it should, you don't have to worry anything. [23:21] ok [23:21] i install subversion stuff under ~/.apps/ [23:21] anyone can help me in dealing with a stuck installation? should I abort it or there's a less traumatic alternative?

[23:22] porcho: aborting and restarting shouldn't cause a problem?

[23:23] so gutsy good [23:23] I have a friend that wants to switch to ubuntu, but is a pro video editors [23:23] damien_: I think that the installation hung up by the time it tried to contact with the repositories...if I start the installation disconnected, will I be able to download the latest packages later? [23:23] viktor hmm sry no idea [23:23] porcho: yes [23:23] Pentarex: ah no worrys mate, thanks alot for your interest anyways :) [23:24] but not being able to connect usually results in it ignoring them and continuing [23:24] my laptop monitor doesn't work anymore after messing up with settings...what can i do? [23:24] i rarely bother to set up internet before i install using a livecd [23:24] johnficc1: what is your point [23:24] psss: boot into 'safe mode', run 'dpkg-reconfigre xserver-xorg' [23:24] idefix, just to clear out, you can find most of the software you need from Ubuntu repositories (http://packages.ubuntu.com/), they're all ready-to-go packages to install with "sudo apt-get install programname" like "sudo apt-get install planetpenguin". If you prefer to use GUI (Graphical User Interface, not command line), Synaptic does the job like apt-get in command line. [23:25] so are laser mouses good for ubuntu linux [23:25] his install has frozen though [23:25] does anyone know why I am not able to ping my router, or any PC's on my network with my wireless Ubuntu PC? [23:25] exneo: yes, most should work fine [23:25] if not all [23:25] I executed the dpkg command but it isn't going as it should [23:25] happyface_: are you connected to the right wireless? :) [23:25] sure am [23:25] idefix: is it a root login you're in? [23:26] whenver i install something i get like 30 errors (always the same ones, and everyone about some fonts and openoffice stuff) "E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)" the programs always work... how do i stop all the error messages? thanks a million in advance! =) [23:26] no, but I did sudo.. [23:26] idefix: try sudo dpkg [23:26] it say command not found [23:26] or su root [23:26] dpkh-reconfigure xserver-xorg, yea? [23:26] damien_ [23:26] Pentarex: do they have a pro video editing program for linux [23:26] dpkg****** [23:26] reconfigure [23:26] idefix: su root [23:26] Pentarex: or is cinalrra as good as it gets [23:26] 'dpkg-reconfigre xserver-xorg' u write this :P [23:26] dpkg-reconfigure [23:26] ? [23:27] ok [23:27] oops, sry :) [23:27] What program do people use to manage iPods in Ubuntu? [23:27] how can I export all information from a .pdf to a .doc? [23:27] crappy laptop keyboard :P [23:27] now it work thc :P [23:27] would anyone be able to help me compiling the code for f-spot in ubuntu? ./configure seems to go through but there is no makefile to build.. [23:27] johficc1 they have emulators :) i dont know what is this program [23:27] phuzion: Exaile, good as long as you don't have a 2gb old nano ;) [23:27] PreNoob: read the install file [23:27] [q] what command can i use to check file ermissions? [23:27] johnficc1: for what program do u talk about [23:27] damien_, 8GB Touch, it should still work? [23:27] [q] what command can i use to check file ermissions?Parmissions* [23:28] solexious, try ls -all :) [23:28] Where does ubuntu store the path to rndc.key with bind? [23:28] ty [23:28] phuzion: are you the mouse guy? yea [23:28] run the livecd [23:28] mouse guy? [23:28] oh right i see [23:28] do anyone know how to log in as root and change the previlegies for sda5 ? [23:28] nevermind :p [23:28] yea, just try a bunch :) [23:28] exaile, amarok, gtkpod, banshee [23:28] !root | Pentarex [23:29] do i have to use the kernel framebuffer device interface? [23:29] Pentarex: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [23:29] Pentarex: I don't know of many video editing programs for linux and I was hoping someone here would. [23:29] sudo su - [23:29] :p [23:29] johnficc1: forr windows ? [23:29] damien_, suggesting how to get into a root shell? [23:29] johnficc1: get UbuntuStudio [23:29] do i have to use the kernel framebuffer device interface? [23:29] damien_: are u talking to me and my question ? [23:29] i just installed netbeans6.0 and it says open the program via the desktop icon, but it didn't place a desktop icon [23:29] because sudo -s also works [23:29] how can i figure out how to run it [23:29] damien_: only for me not on my q :P [23:30] if i have 2gb ram, should i set my swap to 2gb aswell? [23:30] damien_ : do i have to use the kernel framebuffer device interface? [23:30] i dunno whta that is [23:30] it ask me [23:30] in the configure [23:30] b4l74z4r: set like 768mb of swap or smth [23:30] :S === edson is now known as orochimaru [23:30] psss, don't repeat your question unnecessarily, if someone knows, they'll answer [23:30] ok [23:31] i am getting a segmentation fault on the most-current mplayer package - ubuntu gusty - any ideas? [23:31] sslashes, did you compile yourself or install from apt-get? [23:31] phuzion , i thought that they don't see it so i repeat sry :P [23:31] Pentarex - the root account is diabled by default, use 'sudo' with chmod and/or chown with the -R recursive flag. [23:31] phuzion: apt-get [23:31] sslashes, try uninstalling it and re-installing [23:32] Pentarex - you're doing something potentially risky by the way. [23:32] Anyone know how to disable the Camera Import feature for when you plug in an iPod Touch? [23:32] phuzion: wow - that did it, thanks =P [23:32] how can i view the roots desktop folder? [23:32] sslashes, no problem === orochimaru is now known as Orochimaru [23:32] jack-desktop, the root user doesn't have a home directory, therefore doesn't have a desktop. [23:32] but i cant make folders or save my pictures on my hard drive this is not a file system hard drive :) [23:32] phuzion: but it does [23:32] Orochimaru: sama [23:33] can somebody help me with my internet connection on my ubuntu machine. It was working, now it stopped. I tried the unplug and replug. Its a wired internet connection using dhcp (i'm connected now using a vista sys) [23:33] hi dudes... is there any good software to replace "ConvertXtoDVD" where you actually have any XviD/DivX .Avi file converted to VOB files, menus and subtitles??? [23:33] Pentarex, hi (: [23:33] Hello all. I had a rather "interesting" experience this evening... Somebody (or perhaps something, as in a script), connected to my session, got a notification about somebody controlling my desktop, which quickly went away. They apparently thought they conencted to a Windows machine since the path to cmd.exe was typed in where my cursor was. [23:33] LjL: Technically, its the same home folder as the first account [23:33] b4l74z4r, it depends on your usage, your actual swap usage might be very low but it's safe to have some extra swap just in case :) [23:33] phuzion: not really, it's /root [23:34] phuzion: that it's not supposed to be used is another matter [23:34] cd ~ kicks me to /home/phuzion [23:34] as root [23:34] b4l74z4r, if you happen to have enough free space on your disks feel free to set it to 2GB :) [23:34] Feebz13 : what's your Ethernet model ? [23:35] good night all of u [23:35] Nites Pentarex :) [23:35] After that, nothing else happened. I looked through the logs but found no indications of an incoming connection, except from firestarter which reported a single connection to port 10000 (webadmin, which I don't have installed) [23:35] phuzion: depends how you went into root [23:35] LjL: sudo -s [23:35] anyone else get a dcc send from FleshMax? [23:35] i have image from my damaged hard disk (from dd command), can i mount to this image now? (sorry for my English) [23:35] phuzion: if you use "sudo -s" or something equivalent, it would do that, because it doesn't change your environment variables [23:36] but after doing sudo su, i got kicked to /root for cd ~ [23:36] phuzion: that's why "sudo -i" is recommended in many circumstances [23:36] Pentarex - if your drive is auto-mounted then refer to the /etc/fstab file and change its mounting directives. this is well documented in the ubuntu wiki's [23:36] sudo su is what I do if I want a full root environment [23:36] b4l74z4r, like heavy video editing and things like that need a lot of memory (and swap space to extend it). [23:36] isn't sudo su a naughty thing to do? [23:36] phuzion: "sudo su" is pretty redundant, the "-i" option is there to do exactly that [23:36] LjL: same amount of characters [23:36] plus, I think its easier to type su than -s [23:37] join irc.freenode.org/vbox [23:37] -i* [23:37] phuzion: and two calls to two programs that perform essentially the same function [23:37] well, typing su would require the real root password. [23:37] is it just me, or am I just being really attractive to dcc spams ? [23:37] Anyways, does anyone know where the services which start with gnome are listed? No changes I apply in the Services gui tool seems to apply... [23:37] yell0w: who from? [23:37] LjL: Honestly, I'm not concerned with something that's going to take under one hundredth of a second on my machine [23:37] LjL: fleshmax ? [23:37] hi dudes... is there any good software that actually makes any XviD/DivX .Avi file converted to VOB files, menus and subtitles??? [23:37] yell0w: I got a spam from that idiot too [23:38] yell0w, tomd: he's not been in this channel though AFAICS [23:38] yell0w, do you have DCC auto-accept enabled? [23:38] LjL: irssi told me here's where he came from [23:38] tomd: ditto [23:38] DCC auto accept.. brilliant idea. [23:38] is it safe to add Ubuntu and dual boot with my installed vista? [23:39] xsights: yes, but booting vista is generally unsafe to do. [23:39] phuzion: no, but it's annoying as crap [23:39] :) tomd [23:39] i've seen that happening over and over again [23:39] booting vista is also a waste of time [23:39] * tomd still hasn't booted vista. [23:39] yell0w, if you're having a problem with a user, report them to freenode staff in #freenode [23:39] does anyone know why I am not able to ping my router, or any PC's on my network with my wireless Ubuntu PC? [23:39] i would only use vista for gaming, unless call of duty 4 plays on ubuntu? [23:39] yell0w - use /ignore nickname [23:39] * tomd doesn't have a $1000 dollar graphics card for it. [23:39] happyface_, sounds like you're not connected to your wireless [23:40] anyone know how to make virtual box display winxp 1600x1024 ? [23:40] I sure am, phuzion [23:40] happyface_: probably because you aren't on the network or your other PCs are configured to not respond to pings? [23:40] Hello! I've got a problem with Kile. When I try to compile a document with citations I get a warning saying that there was no .nls-file. Can anybody help me cofiguring Kile? [23:40] gnutronic: phuzion ok [23:40] tomd, yell0w: ah yes... that was more than 3 hours ago though [23:40] xsights, I still haven't figured out CS:S on Ubuntu [23:40] xsights, I have both installed, it works just fine. [23:40] ljl, you're an op, aren't you? [23:40] ok thanks, ill try it [23:40] tuttlen: #vbox is the virtual box support channel, try asking there [23:40] LjL: the thing is, i saw the same thing happening every day :) [23:40] maxownz: i can't connect to the router's http page or ping the router either [23:40] phuzion: do you need anything? [23:40] thnx [23:40] join #vbox [23:41] like almost everyday i check and see that message from some dude [23:41] ljl: nah, not right now. I was just seeing if my memory served me correctly [23:41] happyface_: then i'd say you need to take another look at your configuration [23:41] command to join is (Ex. point) join then channel right? [23:41] happyface_, honestly, to me, it sounds like you arne't connected to your network. can you get to the internet? [23:41] yell0w, it was a channel attack, everybody saw it, it wasn't directed at you specifically [23:41] tuttlen: /join #channel [23:41] !join #vbox [23:41] * cafuego boggles [23:41] Sorry, I don't know anything about join #vbox - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [23:42] thnx [23:42] LjL: oh was it ? [23:42] tuttlen: /join [23:42] nvm then [23:42] hi all, i have just being changing some of the settings for services and i modified gdm so it did not start on boot, however i now want to change it back [23:42] could someone tell me what the default setting is [23:42] Are there any users of the packaged phpmyadmin here who find that its session code crashes apache2? [23:42] Anybody know how to add a location entry to the "Places" menu in GNOME? [23:42] happyface_-> does your nic have an ip address? can you check via iwconfig or ifconfig ? [23:43] ie. for each run level should it be start/stop/ignore and the priority [23:43] trying again - anyone know a decent editor (mainly html/css) with a 'autocomplete' feature like in dreamweaver? [23:43] hi [23:43] amenado: yes it does [23:43] i'm attempting to install ubuntu [23:43] happyface_-> what is the ip address assigned to your nic? [23:43] 192.168.1.100 [23:43] i can only get to the busybox promt [23:43] can any one help me I can't type even "ls""cp" command in my terminal, but with the error inmformation error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [23:43] happyface_, is the gateway the IP that is normally your router's IP? [23:44] the start of the dhcp server [23:44] Anyone who knows which file the Services gui frontend manipulate? [23:44] where is the developers ubuntu chat? [23:44] happyface_-> now what is the result of route -n ? does it show any gateways? [23:44] TheRealFaceOfBoe: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=89491&highlight=bootlog [23:45] it shows 3 bogus gateways, then the right one... but no destination... here one sec [23:45] hey, i'm trying to install ubuntu off a CD, and i can only get to the busybox promt [23:45] i will like a right idiot, i just changed it to what i thought it was and it shut the service down [23:45] !pastebin > happyface_ [23:45] good thread on what the processes run at boottime are [23:45] cheers yell0w, i'll take a look [23:45] clarezoe-> that looks liked you hosed your system, do an fsck at boot time [23:45] i am hold on [23:45] somebody HELP LOLpc ?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [23:46] oh get real..... [23:47] LOLpc: I had this problem too. I figured out, that the DVD-drive was not supported.

In the meantime, LOLpc can help us help him by providing as much details as he can.

[23:51] happyface_-> it doesnt reflect it because it does not say ESSID associated.. [23:51] I never tried an rpm based distro, and I see coments that apt is way much better than rpm, why is that?

I can see the other computers on my home network with nmap -sP but I can't ping them - or the router - or the internet. This is a new problem. It worked before - I'm not aware of any changes.
