I can't find the isapnptools on packages.ubuntu.com (need to get an AWE64 working, and manually loading the module with the ports/IRQ/DMA specified is still giving a "device not found" in alsamixer) [00:15] hello... I'm a newbie who has problems with Broadcom wireless :| [00:15] Adobe Flash has been fixed?? of topic, wich you mean with fixed? [00:15] .

Guess it's off to the source.... [00:15] jnik: further, you should only need sudo modprobe snd-sbawe [00:16] see, I got the driver installed, and i think its running, but I cant detect networks [00:16] somehow many whole E partition has been made root, and i cant save any of my files anymore [00:16] astro76: how to use it, (reading its help) can you suggest me the sintax to use ? [00:16] how do i change permissions [00:17] kazagistar: What happens when you type iwlist scan [00:17] crimsun: "should", yes, but....unprintable expletive. I've just been trying to load the SB-16 module, figuring I'd worry about the AWE later. modprobing sb-awe works automagically. Thanks. [00:18] * jnik has been around too long, still thinks kerneld is a cool idea [00:18] epifanio: : mkisofs needs arguments. Examine the man page for how to use it, or google for examples [00:18] yes i'm reading about [00:18] i need an itunes substitute, any ideas? I need something that has the smart playlist option like on itunes, because i have a lot of music [00:18] banshee? [00:19] *2 interface does not support scanning (lo/eth1) [00:19] somehow my E partition has become read only and root this is the partition i use all the time. open nautilus under root and try to change permissions but it says i can't [00:19] not sure if it has smart playlist [00:19] but you might try amarok [00:19] deos it add songs to the playlists automatically? [00:20] actually, banshee does smart playlists [00:20] i just checked [00:20] hi all [00:20] cool [00:20] I know it says restricted driver BUT i have ubuntu with a Geforce4 MX440 and the only screen resolution i get is 640x480 any idea what i need to do ? its using nvidia Geforce 4 Generic Driver [00:20] whats the best tool to use to test random access/seek times of a hard drive? [00:20] just a question [00:20] epifanio: here's some examples http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/Mkisofs [00:20] and is it well made, like songbird is half baked if you know what i mean [00:20] i've just installed on my notebook [00:20] everything goes fine but internet conection [00:20] i haven't been using it long enough to know.. [00:21] it's relatively stable, but i believe there still are bugs present [00:21] i can do a ping to www.google.es, and it responds [00:21] astro76: great! [00:21] but the interface is clean...it's pretty decent [00:21] but can access any page/ftp/ssh... [00:21] have you tried amarok? [00:21] i've alrready set up the namesevers in /etc/resolv.conf [00:21] but i get nothing [00:22] no [00:22] Does anyone here do any txt->tex->pdf conversions? [00:22] i havento [00:22] biouser: you can use openoffice. It has a function to convert [00:22] amarok is chock-full of features [00:22] and is probably the more stable of the two [00:22] smart playlist? [00:22] crimsun: thank you much, just adding snd-sbawe to /etc/modules and rebooting did it. Off to lash myself with a wet noodle for overanalyzing it.... [00:22] and frank__ hmm.... [00:23] I am trying to use vim [00:23] is there a gui based NES emulator for linux [00:23] i mean 45gb of hand selected playlist is a long thing [00:23] Johnson - in your /etc/fstab file, what does that partition's line say?

[00:23] adub look in the systamatic package manager [00:23] there is one in there someplace [00:23] adub: yes search in Synaptic, but there is fceu, and gfceu is a gui front-end [00:23] biouser. You don't have Openoffice.org? [00:23] LtL let me open that [00:24] astro76 is that the best gui based one [00:24] frank__, I do [00:24] synaptic, sorry, im new [00:24] adub: best is subjective, there are many gui front-ends, but fceu is the emulator you want [00:24] where is menu.lst located (on a separate topic) [00:24] frank__, I really like pdflatex from the repos [00:24] biouser: /boot/grub [00:25] biouser: locate menu.lst [00:25] LtL: # /dev/sda5 [00:25] UUID=469E-5165 /media/sda5 vfat defaults,utf8,umask=007,gid=46 0 1 [00:25] astro76 cool thanks [00:25] BodomLaw: yeah...it has smart playlists [00:25] biouser - /root/grub/menu.lst [00:25] kool === marpstar is now known as marpstar_ [00:25] astro76, thanks for the 'teach a man to fish' answer [00:25] just make sure you got 1.4.8 and not 1.8 [00:25] get* [00:25] biouser: you're welcome, I always try to ;) [00:26] Johnson - backup that file and append this AFTER the vfat option: rw,nosuid,nodev,shortname=mixed,uid=1000,utf8,umask=077 0 0 [00:26] an anybody here recommend a good tv tuner card that works with ubuntu?

[00:35] umm ok [00:35] Eyemean, there is no CPU overclocking software its all done by Multipliers in the BIOS [00:36] Eyemean, powernowd can do processor freq scaling [00:36] Eyemean, not problay what you want though [00:36] sometimes windows has more advantages [00:36] zachalink, why not redo your xorg.conf [00:36] go on... =) [00:36] zachalink, make sure your using the Repo drivers and its configured proper [00:37] invisible_ubunti, multiplier not work on mine, but cpucool is software in windows which works, but i wanted something in linux aswell [00:37] And how I would do that would be... =) [00:37] zachalink: have you used envy or automatix? [00:37] Eyemean, what proc? [00:37] cheers ashfire908 [00:37] okay.. [00:37] yes, I used envy to reinstall the drivers, and it went worse. [00:37] From bad to worse. [00:37] xp2000+ [00:37] [Q] Can i make passworded folders in ubuntu? [00:37] zachalink, how did you get your video working properly the 1st time ;) [00:37] zachalink: that's why your system is broke now [00:37] solexious, nice nickname [00:37] !envy [00:37] envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » [00:37] Demonho, ty [00:37] invisible_ubuntu, i know its crap chip, but im just getting to grips with overclocking befor ei upgrade [00:38] Um... by just using envy. [00:38] zachalink: I'd recommend reinstall and not use envy next time [00:38] yes [00:38] zachalink, ATI or Nvidia? [00:38] which is better ubuntu or slackware? [00:38] my sister needs a colour for her video codec.. and it only shows up black and white:( is there any way to fix this? [00:38] Danielle_pl, slackware [00:38] envy worked perfectly, it was probably emerald... >.> [00:38] nvidia. [00:38] does anyone use lyx to create latex documents and know how to add the packages from texlive that are in the repos to it? [00:38] anyone does video editing here? [00:38] Slackware if you have time to read if your lazy ubuntu [00:38] zachalink: it works perfectly until it breaks when the kernel is upgraded [00:38] is there a way to compile something on my 64 bit desktop ubuntu so it can be installed on a imac g3 powerpc ubuntu? [00:39] Blender is insanely slow. Can I set it to use my working accel mode somehow? [00:39] oh [00:39] johnficca, no there is no way they are completely diffrent archs [00:39] i've done a dual boot with vista and ubuntu before, but I was wondering if there is a way to configure my partition so that ubuntu has like 75% of my drive and vista has 25% or even less? [00:39] so I have to do a reinstall and not use envy? =( [00:39] im using buntu x86 and have a amd64, y wont buntu 64 install? [00:39] Danielle_pl, what did it say why it won't? [00:39] Invisible_Ubunti: google cross-compiling. It can be done. [00:39] h-town: that s easy fix, uninstall vista [00:40] genii, is it advised? [00:40] Invisible_ubuntu: just says unable to install [00:40] zachalink: it's probably the easiest and quickest way... I don't know how to fix it and it's not supported in this channel for that reason [00:40] LtL: i tried rebooted and it still is marked as read only whcih sucks because all my info is on there, and i havent modified any files. i was using eclipse. then all of a sudden i couldnt't save anymore [00:40] okay then [00:40] Invisible_Ubunti: Ideally no. But possible. [00:40] i've done that and I had massive problems, ubuntu won't recognize the old vista partition, even though i've used gparted to format it properly [00:40] genii, that is why I was advising not to because its not idea especially if he compiles and has problems later on ;P [00:41] would my best bet be to install ubuntu, and then vista? [00:41] brb must reboot [00:41] h-town: overwrite you vista partition with some linux distro [00:41] h-town, vista then ubuntu [00:41] it works great [00:41] but when i install vista first it only lets me partition half of my drive and no more [00:42] Johnson_ - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions?highlight=%28mount%29 [00:42] h-town: do not install vista then :) [00:42] hey guys,. whenever i try to watch a full screen video in mozilla, a program called npviewer takes over and displays the film, but it starts off as a small screen, which i have to maximize,. how do i make npviewer maximize when its loaded? [00:42] can i use the nvidia driver that came with ubuntu to use compiz-fusion or do i have to install non-free? [00:42] Danielle_pl, non free [00:43] oh hell no [00:43] Does anyone know of a Linux version of a ZIP Password Recovery tool? [00:43] Danielle_pl: why ask then ? [00:43] h-town: installing Vista will remove grub by the way [00:44] i want vista for games, I understand you can use wine and all that but I want the ease of just installing and playing no problem, i use ubuntu for EVERYTHINg esle [00:44] yeah i know that [00:44] photo1: wanted to know coz last time i did that, my computer started in low graphics mode all the time, couldnt play 3d games, and had to reformat [00:44] i've dealt with that problem before [00:44] h-town: why not trying XP ?

[01:00] so now why would mplayer still put sound through my onboard when its set to use alsa and alsa is set to use my sound card?

[01:03] i know little english [01:03] nemilar: plus, they would use our bandwidth, and we'd have to add some kind of throttling that would cost more money or time to implement.

[01:43] box-: To change only resolution settings: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [01:43] my apologies all I am very tired see you all later [01:43] genii says dpkg-reconfigure isnt installed [01:43] there is many [01:43] hfs+ [01:43] ntfs [01:44] ext3 defrags itself? [01:44] Codenut: sudo apt-get install --reinstall gnome-games [01:44] but defragmenting software defragment only a type of partition ? [01:44] prefect I didn't get anything [01:44] ballzack3: ext3 fragmanents less [01:44] jacquesdupontd: exactly [01:44] Prefect will you join #Project8 [01:44] jacquesdupontd: Correct, no one tool works for all [01:45] ballzack3: it's designed to avoid fragmentation, and defrag software depends on what kind of partition you're using [01:45] So it's not so busy. [01:45] Are there any good OCR programs for Ubuntu to make a .pdf file's text searchable? [01:45] ok and what do you know about hfs+ ? [01:45] What happened with that filesystem guy, is he still in jail for pwning his wife? [01:45] Reiser? [01:45] Prefect? [01:45] does it need to be defragmented ? [01:46] Hello! [01:46] what options would i use to make find not match files with the ".bz2" extenstion? [01:47] I have a question, if you guys don't mind.. [01:47] !ask | iDivine_ [01:47] iDivine_: 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. :-) [01:47] So there's no way to tell what Mint is detecting your RAM speed as? [01:47] ballzack3: Ask in #Mint [01:48] whoops! [01:48] Well ok, I have Ubuntu obviously , But, I have NO clue where to start. Can any one direct me here? [01:48] what about in ubuntu? [01:48] ballzack3: Actually.. #LinuxMint [01:48] thanks [01:48] iDivine_: what do you want to do? [01:48] ballzack3: sudo lshw shows the specs of the chips [01:48] east coast! [01:48] Can someone help me figure out how to install ubuntu on a partition and boot with that partition. [01:48] Hi there everyone, does 7.10 Server provide a way to setup software RAID on disks during the setup phase? I've hunted around and can't find any howto's on this. [01:49] iDivine_: Play around, have fun, and don't be afraid to try new things. The ubuntuforums.org is a good place to start. [01:49] Ashfire908: i dunno, but a workaround could be to pipe the files to sed, and remove everything that has .bz2 onit. [01:49] I would like to know, How to download things. Like simple programs I had on my old windows. And I would also like to know if there are any plug-ins.. [01:49] has anybody ran windows xp inside vmware server on ubuntu? [01:49] bendy21, i think you tell it to format a patition with "raid" or something like that [01:49] iDivine_: System > Administration > Synaptic package manager [01:49] iDivine_: you will probably need to replace those windows apps with linux apps, see the link below [01:50] !equivalents | iDivine_ [01:50] iDivine_: A comprehensive list of of Windows-equivalent applications in Linux can be found at http://www.linuxrsp.ru/win-lin-soft/table-eng.html and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WhatWindowsUsersWant [01:50] Y0Y0 [01:50] iDivine_: then Search > " My Software " [01:50] iDivine_: and some "simple" programs aren't really that simple [01:50] bendy21, and i think it then gives you a screen to setup the raid, but i've never tried it because my server has hardware raid [01:50] ashfire: Thanks for that I'll have a closer look. Didn't think to look in the partition type box! [01:50] whats a quick and easy program to find out the rgb values of a selected pixel? [01:50] like Xoomer in windows if anyone has tried it [01:51] hello... im trying to copy the Ubuntu 7.10 Live CD to a flash drive on a Fedora machine and i get an error about ..../unstable and permissions when copying [01:51] how do i fix this? === johnson_ is now known as johnson [01:51] jack-desktop: hmm, doubt it's that hard to do in X even if it's totally nonexistant [01:51] hi [01:52] lircd going to include the Imon pad patch anytime ? [01:52] recon: i'll just figure out how to use it's filename stuff [01:52] is there a way to change what java plugin firefox uses from the comandline? [01:53] jack-desktop: but running said app in wine is definitely not a possibility [01:53] WorkingOnWise: update-alternatives [01:53] jack-desktop: gcolor2 [01:53] wiki [01:53] Hey guys is there a deb for vmware server === genii_ is now known as genii [01:53] WorkingOnWise: specifically, "sudo update-alternatives --config java" [01:53] meoblast001: Sounds like a question for Fedora since that is the os you are using.. I would have nothing to do with Ubuntu since the ubuntu CD is just data being transfered [01:53] although it'll change all of them. === adam_ is now known as Boden [01:53] vbabiy_laptop: Yep [01:53] Uh, quick question. Whats the difference between Unix and Linux? I'm looking at a list of software and what OS [01:53] nickrud: not exactly xoomer, but thanks ;p [01:53] add deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu gutsy partner to your sources.list, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install vmware-server vbabiy_laptop [01:53] #linuxmint is dead :( [01:54] jack: eh, it at least gives you the rgb values ;P [01:54] timandtom: it's complicated. linux is an offshoot of the unix kernel. [01:54] nickrud: Is the vmware install fixed? [01:54] 's they are for, but I don't really know what Unix is :P excuse my accidental enter key btw [01:54] thanks nickrud [01:54] badkitty: was it bad? that's what I used [01:54] ballzack3: Is it really? [01:54] recon know if there is a not switch/keyword or something [01:54] badkitty: is currently bad, that is [01:54] ballzack3: Thats why it hasnt done well [01:54] ive got a couple ubuntu n00b questions.. [01:54] jack: i give up on computers then [01:54] recon: thanks! that is what I needed! [01:54] Ashfire908: nah, if i need to do anything i use sed. [01:54] recon: Would a program for "Unix-like" OS's work on Linux then? [01:54] because not enough ppl in the irc room? [01:54] xoomer seems to work with wine for me [01:54] timandtom: yeah. and bsd, and a whole bunch of other stuff. [01:55] nickrud: Yeah for a while everyone was recommending installing from source [01:55] timandtom: basically, anything that ends with an *ix. and then some more. [01:55] is there a program for burning .img files? [01:55] badkitty: if dead is <10 ppl, then yes :) [01:55] timandtom: for most practical purposes a program you can compile on unix can be compiled on linux [01:55] ballzack3: terrible support ... I didnt care for the product to begin with.. [01:55] oh [01:55] xoomer works perfectly in wine [01:55] it seems cool to me...what would be better? [01:55] ubuntu? [01:55] which certainly impresses me [01:55] recon: Ah, cool, thanks. So Linux and BSD and stuff is basically different distros of unix, like Ubuntu, Fedora, and Damn Small, are all distros of Linux? [01:55] * nickrud refuses to use non free stuff if free stuff does the job [01:56] ballzack3: Dont ask us, we are biased [01:56] ali: hmm, I thought that wouldn't work because I thought it used some low level windowing stuff.. guess it can [01:56] i bet you run vista, right? [01:56] or even close [01:56] i would expect WINE to fail at that, like it normally does with everything else [01:56] ballzack3: Nope, XP and Ubuntu [01:56] timandtom: Unix was and still is a commercial OS developed by AT&T. Linux is a unix-like OS but no lineage to it. FreeBSD or NetBSD et al are more of a Unix heritage [01:56] genii: Ah, k, cool, thanks [01:56] timandtom: not exactly distros. Linus wrote a slightly different kernel. [01:56] BSD is a child of the original UNIX code by AT&T [01:56] Linux has none of that code [01:56] timandtom: s/slightly// [01:57] Sorry to repeate, I lefted for a second. [01:57] Can someone help me figure out how to install ubuntu on a partition and boot with that partition. [01:57] so, im completely new to this chat, but i have some ubuntu related questions. [01:57] ballzack3: It was like number 6 on the charts fora while wasn't it, why the sudden drop off? [01:57] recon: But I've sorta got the right idea? [01:57] anyone know where I can find new cheap laptops that work flawlessly with ubuntu? [01:57] I didn't see if anyone could help me or not. [01:57] ex. acer's [01:57] dsmith_: have you looked at Dell's ubuntu selection? [01:57] timandtom: yeah, pretty much. linux is unix's bastard son. [01:57] besides Dells [01:57] Blizzard-: it should let you resize your current partitions and make a partition for you [01:57] Can someone help me figure out how to install ubuntu on a partition and boot with that partition. [01:57] badkitty: which charts? i have no idea, i installed mint because i thought my hdd had crashed [01:57] Blizzard-: The livecd will guide you through the installation. [01:57] Blizzard-: you're repeating way way way too fast [01:57] recon: Very poorly phrased [01:57] ballzack3: Distrowatch.com [01:58] test [01:58] dsmith_: well if you want something that'll work 100% and is supported, Dell is the way to go. There are a couple of other companies that sell Linux on laptops, but nothing as reputable as dell [01:58] recon: Awesome, thanks. Just wondering, that should do it :) Hopefully I can blunder my way through this now [01:58] !ping [01:58] ping yourself ;-) really the diodes all down my left side are sore [01:58] jack: i may or may not be high right now, i dunno. [01:58] k [01:58] Pie, I pmed you. [01:58] the only thing i dont like so far is my sound isn't working, but ive been too lazy to really look for help [01:58] Can someone please let me know if there's a program to burn .img files to a cd? [01:58] dsmith_: My Compaq runs Ubuntu well. Make sure all the hardware in the laptop is supported before you buy [01:58] hi, how can I see hidden files, and 2. how can I close package installer when it won't close and it doesn't show up in process list. [01:58] could someone point me in the right direction to get some linux newb bluetooth help? [01:58] nemilar: I understand, I wanted to find an alternate source to install onto. I have installed ona few older laptops but am looking for new ones [01:58] brianh: I know. :) [01:58] Boden: try http://linuxreviews.org/howtos/cdrecording/ [01:59] Boden: specifically, http://linuxreviews.org/howtos/cdrecording/#toc16 [01:59] Boden: I thought img files were the same as iso... [01:59] EEEWWW compaq!! [01:59] thanks recon. i'll check that out. [01:59] Boden: HAve you tried right clicking and writing to disk [01:59] does bash do anything special with ! [01:59] Jack: i thought they were too, but the native burning software disagrees [01:59] Jack: yes i have [01:59] what's a good kde app for cd recording? [01:59] dsmith_: What I mean is, if you have an option between intel wireless and broadcom, go with intel [02:00] JohnMM: k3b is the most popular [02:00] JohnMM: K3B [02:00] ah thanks [02:00] i know about intel believe me [02:00] JohnMM: definatly k3b [02:00] i also prefer nvidia [02:00] thanks [02:00] can anyone help? [02:00] I can't close the dang package installer [02:01] any idea where to get a list of compiz commands ? [02:01] [X] <----- click that :) [02:01] hi people .... [02:01] NVIDIA FTW [02:01] zachalink: You can see hidden files with nautilus [02:01] box_: man compiz [02:01] FTW? [02:01] zachalink: HAve you been using non-standard repos? [02:01] For the Weary? [02:01] nickrud, thanks it worked perfeectly [02:01] and about the closing package manager [02:01] zachalink: what do you mean when you say you can't close it? you mean the graphical application? [02:01] For The WIn [02:01] zachalink: or are you installing from the command line? [02:01] yes, [02:02] no [02:02] yes Nvidia is a winner [02:02] zachalink: open a terminal and run "xkill" and then click on the installer [02:02] !who [02:02] anyone from brazil? [02:02] As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [02:02] I tried to install limewire and it froze halfway through configuring sun-java6 [02:02] fazzio: BR has their own room [02:02] theres too many jacks [02:02] zachalink: limewire?? why [02:02] zachalink, why would you bother with limewire [02:02] lol [02:02] is there an IRC chat for openoffice? [02:02] zachalink: after that you will probably need to repair your package management, which is typicall done through the command line: dpkg --configure -a [02:02] is anyone using aide? and do you know the first run command to create a db? [02:03] zetheroo: yep [02:03] zetheroo: yes [02:03] !openoffice [02:03] a free and open source office suite, including word processor, spreadsheet, presentation, vector drawing and database components. To install: "sudo apt-get install openoffice.org". User help available in #users.openoffice.org [02:03] ok, I'm running kubuntu 6.10, if I pop in a 7.04 disk to upgrade are there any wierd issues I may expect [02:03] crxyem: do a backup first [02:03] jack: ow, thanks ... but, whats the name? [02:03] !br [02:03] Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [02:03] limewire? because it's the only way I can "get" songs [02:03] only need to backup my /home corect [02:03] buenos dias! [02:03] crxyem: _usually_ everything works fine... you can get a list of reported problems on the ubuntu site somewhere [02:04] zachalink: what genre? [02:04] zachalink, you should look into torrent [02:04] THANKS FOR ALL ... [02:04] !piracy [02:04] piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels. Please take this discussion elsewhere or abstain from it altogether. This includes linking to pirated software, music and video. Also see !guidelines and !o4o [02:04] crxyem: I must ask.. HAve you ever run automatix or envy scripts.. it is important if yo plan to upgrade [02:04] no [02:04] crxyem: !streamtuner [02:04] I fresly install Ubuntu Gutsy on a laptop and for some reason the Ubuntu boot up screen with the progress bar never shows up.... its black until I get to the login screen.... why is this? [02:04] !streamtuner [02:04] Sorry, I don't know anything about streamtuner - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [02:04] automati ftw! .. NOT! [02:05] never used streamtuner [02:05] badkitty: i think if you look at the last 30 or 7 days Mint is still in the top 3 or 5 [02:05] where can i set the time format ? [02:05] crxyem: check out streamtuner and streamripper [02:05] lol, torrent takes decades, and sometimes I want specific songs. Anyways, on another issue: how can I mount a cd/dvd to view the windows portion of a game dvd? (in this case, world of warcraft dvd) [02:05] When I installed emacs, it got 20mb of other files too. However when I tell it to uninstall, it's only 40kb - why? How can I uninstall the rest too? [02:06] Vadi: does apt-get autoremove do anything for you? === AHA_ is now known as AHA [02:06] ballzack3: Pretty impressive if there are only 10 users [02:06] you can selectively download songs from torrents [02:06] yeah.... [02:06] By the way, I tried that xkill thing on package manager, and didn't do anything. [02:06] !piracy | crxyem [02:06] crxyem: piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels. Please take this discussion elsewhere or abstain from it altogether. This includes linking to pirated software, music and video. Also see !guidelines and !o4o [02:06] nemilar: no, nothing [02:07] torrents [02:07] torrents are not neccessarily illegal [02:07] ok, in that case: [02:07] !offtopic [02:07] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [02:07] if you enable desktop effects is that compizfusion OR do u have to install compiz seperate ? [02:07] in 7.10 its compiz [02:07] How can I remove the rest of dependencies that emacs dragged in? [02:08] Vadi: some of those dependencies might be in use by other programs, or there might be some other emacs stuff on your system [02:08] then send zchalink to another channel for his question about limewire freezing on install. [02:08] box: its compiz [02:08] at the moment, i have two large issues under ubuntu: i have no idea how to use/install tarballs. AND: my sound card is recognized, but i've gone through all the troubleshooting steps and i cant get any sound to play. [02:08] nemilar: They aren't though, at least, they weren't before [02:08] Vadi: what package did you remove when you removed emacs? [02:08] the emacs one [02:08] Vadi: emacs22-bin-common or something like that might still be installed [02:08] It's the same one I used to install it === prefect is now known as Starseed [02:09] Boden: A tarball is similar to a zip file, it is not executable, you must extract the files from it and then use those to install [02:09] Yeah you're right [02:09] Wow I cant talk tonight [02:09] Boden: if you're trying to install software, you should use the package management if at all possible [02:10] nemilar: Yay, reclaimed 67mb of my space. I'd say that package needs to be looked at :| [02:10] Badkitty: is it something i need to compile first? [02:10] Vadi: 'emacs' is just a meta-package... yeah apt can be a pain like that sometimes [02:10] Boden: Often times yes but not necessarily [02:10] nemilar: i do as much as possible, but i mean for things that dont show up in the package manager [02:10] so, I shouldn't have anything to worry about if I try to upgrade with a 7.10 disk, [02:10] Boden: what are you trying to install at the moment? also, you should enable all the software sources in the system - administration - software sources menu [02:11] Boden: I downloaded Azureus tarball the other day and when I extract the files, I just run it, everything is already compiled [02:11] Boden: some of them are disabled by default [02:11] I need some data recovery help for mdadm [02:11] badkitty: not compiled...Azureus is written in Java [02:11] anyone [02:11] ? [02:11] badkitty: alright. what file extension am i looking for after extracting the tarball? which one is the executable [02:11] nemilar: Oh yah good point [02:11] nemilar: thanks, i have done that [02:11] Boden: it has no extension [02:11] Boden: a .bat or .exe file probably [02:12] or .sh lol [02:12] Boden: nemilar is right to ask what you are trying to install, it is much better to install using the repos [02:12] Boden: typically the install will be: tar zxfv tarball.tar.gz ; cd tarball/ ; ./configure ; make ; make install [02:12] alright, let me go look... [02:12] I'm migrating all of my data from my old w2k box. No problems mounting remotely via smb, however I think last time it failed partway through because of a filename. Can I use rsync to sync the two up? [02:12] Boden: but the package management system won't know that it's installed, and installing from source is complex and almost always not necessary [02:12] Can someone help me fix my desktop after de-installing the desktop effects. [02:12] is there a way to make ubuntu, when updating a package, download only the difference between the old version and the new one, instead of downloading it all again? [02:13] andresj: no [02:13] nemilar: so most sites that i can download tarballs from i can also find repo addresses @? [02:13] My tablet (motion computing M1400) hotkey does not show up on: showkey, acpid, or xev. I know it works (it works under default windows install) is there no way to use this key in ubuntu? [02:13] When I log in, I get no window manager at all and need to start it manually (blind from a white xterm) every time [02:13] Boden: what are you trying to install? and if at all available, install from the .deb package [02:13] I like checkinstall vs just using make install [02:13] crxyem: Good point [02:13] yeah checkinstall is preferable [02:14] (I'm running Gusty BTW) [02:14] neone know what plugin i need to view the finance.google.com charts? :) [02:14] nickrud: oh... I say it because I'm updating KDE 4.0.0 to 4.0.1 and its a lot :) [02:14] but I'm sure Boden doesn't even have build-essential installed so... [02:14] Siph0n: flash non-free [02:14] nemilar: right now it's something called cdrtools. im not sure if i need it anymore though. i just wanted to know in general for things that arent in the package managers [02:14] andresj: yeah, there's been talk about that diff update for a long time (pre ubuntu), but no action. [02:14] hey, quick question. How do you clear logs in ubuntu? [02:15] Boden: avoid compiling from source if at all possible, is my recommendation [02:15] nickrud: gentoo has it :) [02:15] nemilar, i have flashplugin-nonfree installed... so Synaptic says anyway.... [02:15] andresj: diff's of source is much easier than diffs of binaries [02:15] nemilar: i'd rather avoid it too. since it seems to be over my head at the moment. any idea on the sound issue? [02:15] I fresly install Ubuntu Gutsy on a laptop and for some reason the Ubuntu boot up screen with the progress bar never shows up.... its black until I get to the login screen.... why is this? [02:16] nickrud: I guess :) [02:16] Siph0n: is flash elsewhere broken? [02:16] anyone know how to force MDADM to re-add a device even though it has some bad blocks? [02:16] zetheroo: try editing /etc/usplash.conf if it isn't your monitor's native resolution (one fix that works for some problems) [02:16] nope.... i went on lge.com and the flash plays [02:16] zetheroo: that's just a bug, it'll be fixed in the next release of ubuntu [02:16] hey, quick question. How do you clear logs in ubuntu? [02:16] ally_oxooox: you mean the logs in /var/log ? [02:17] zetheroo: is that the only problem? [02:17] Umm, I was wondering, How do I add cool affects and features to Ubuntu [02:17] nemilar i think so. are there any other logs? [02:17] nemilar: whens the next release? every 6 months? [02:17] nemilar, actually yea.... the flash never starts on lge.com [02:17] anyone here have America's Army working (2.5) on ubuntu ? === genii_ is now known as genii [02:17] zetheroo: wait, do you get grub or post messages? [02:17] nickrud: sudo gedit /etc/usplash,conf ? [02:17] what package contains mdadm? [02:17] heh, my gutsy was problem free (except for usplash) zetheroo yes [02:17] ally_oxooox: /var/log is where the system logs are kept, but individual user apps might record things to user's home directories, I suppose [02:17] nemilar like traffic logs, terminal, etc [02:17] norv: yes... [02:17] Umm, I was wondering, How do I add cool affects and features to Ubuntu? [02:17] hello.... im trying to copy the contents of the Ubuntu 7.10 disk onto a flash drive and i get a permissions error, how do i fix this, ive had this problem on Ubuntu and Fedora [02:17] zetheroo: gksudo gedit that is, don't use sudo with gui programs [02:18] ally_oxooox: apache logs are kept in /var/log/apache[2] by default [02:18] nickrud: ok [02:18] nemilar are there any logs that a user should delete for security purposes? [02:18] iDivine_: install compiz-fusion and compizconfig [02:18] ally_oxooox: the system logger will rotate logs automatically so they don't take up too much space [02:18] hai [02:18] oh okay thanks nemilar [02:18] Umm, I don't think I have enough ram for Compiz fusion. [02:18] ally_oxooox: not really... nothing truly sensitive is logged, and anything that's borderline is read-only by root [02:18] iDivine_: how much do you have? and video ram [02:19] cool [02:19] I'm not quite sure about video, But I think ram I have around 512?... [02:19] I've heard I have a bad video card as well.. [02:19] zetheroo: I doubt it's a major problem then [02:19] Error "Operation not permitted" while copying "/media/Ubu...86/ubuntu". [02:19] what does that mean?

[02:53] , [02:53] if you want it for desktop, gentoo may not be the best choice, but still will work [02:53] compy: I've been managing pretty good so far, I just need to get a distro for my little brothers computer. Windows got borked, and I don't have the install CDs or the keys, so I need something that has a GUI, works with Firefox and Wine, and works for a bit older computers [02:53] compy: Desktop [02:54] please, start gcalctool, set the view to "Show Thousands Separator" an put 1000000 and tell me whats show you gcalctool [02:54] Can I change the font rendering for JUST ONE font [02:54] timandtom: well, Ubuntu is about as easy as it gets....

[02:59] timandtom: yeah, i'm pretty sure it comes *out of the box* with firefox, not sure on wine.

Hi, I am trying to install xorg on VMware v6.0.2 Workstation with a Guest OS of Ubuntu Server 7.10. My problem is that after installation and configuration of xorg, I get an error when of "No input driver matching 'vmmouse'" and then sends me back to the CLI TTY. My problem is as follows, VMware is saying it's Ubuntu's lack of support of VMware and Ubuntu i [03:02] nepbabu, mzuverink, and IndyGunFreak: Thanks guys. Do any of the three(Vector, Puppy, DSL) have a much bigger community? Makes it that much easier when I bork it :) [03:02] clitty? [03:03] timandtom, yes. they are targetted for old boxes [03:03] timandtom: Linuxquestions.org has subforums for all 3 of them, check them out. [03:03] It says ignoring unknown interface ath0=ath0 [03:03] No one is in the channel #compiz-fusioin [03:03] cua0: yeah im going to set up leopard/vista VMs. something for everybody ya know [03:03] iDivine_: maybe if you type it right it will help [03:03] I did [03:03] where's djmario? [03:03] I copied and pasted [03:04] iDivine_: well i just went there, and there's a 186 people there [03:04] vbabiy_laptop, choose "yes" [03:04] anyone have any expirience dealing with loading an ubuntu installation from a USB drive? [03:04] #compiz-fusioin? [03:04] Nephyrin: it does it all by its self [03:04] iDivine_: again, #compiz-fusion [03:04] nebabu is there a better channel I should go to? [03:04] Ussr1943: only installing from [03:04] pay attention [03:04] Nephyrin: i am using the deb package [03:05] zappitelli16, no this one should be fine. i don't know how #wireless is. try it n see. [03:05] zappitelli16, try ##linux as well. [03:05] nepbabu and IndyGunFreak: Ah, k, thanks guys :) Sorry for all the questions, but a few extra minutes here saves me an hour or two of downloading and burning later :P [03:05] I've installed it successfully onto my external, and my bios supports booting from usb, however I'm woundering if there is an issue with have grub on the usb? [03:05] with the # signs? [03:05] tinman, personally i'd go for puppy [03:05] zappitelli16, use them [03:05] Ussr1943: you actually installed it to an external drive? [03:06] yes i did [03:06] Ussr1943: hm, in my experience, the slow speed of usb ports causes a bottleneck doing that, hopefully you get it to work [03:06] nothing happened just started a new line with name@laptop [03:06] how can we modify a gtk theme [03:06] nepbabu: Me? what did i do? === Blue_ is now known as Blue_Sassley [03:06] I am planning on compiling debian [03:06] tinman, :) [03:07] gparted will not run off live cd sits and loads how do i just wait? [03:07] basicly all i did was unplug my ide cables to prevent writing over my internal, then i booted up live then installed onto my external usb. yes it is USB 2.0 so it should be fairly fast [03:07] Ussr1943: whatever you say.. but i've found otherwise. [03:07] but the only way to know is to boot it up, and currently my computer keeps telling me to insert a boot disk, when it should be able to read right off the USB [03:08] thanks for the help, i'll catch you guys later [03:08] whats it saying when you boot the USB disk? [03:08] that you need to insert a boot disk? [03:08] "Please insert boot cd and press enter" [03:08] yeah [03:08] no clue on that onem. [03:09] Ussr1943, what is this you are trying to install? 7.10? [03:09] yeah 7.10 onto my external hdd [03:09] Ussr1943, first, BIOS settings for CMOS boot up [03:09] Ussr1943: why don't you jsut partition the internal hard drive, and install it normally, use the external drive to backup dataon your drive. [03:09] Ussr1943, http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2007/09/28/usb-ubuntu-710-gutsy-gibbon-install/ [03:09] and secondly, either feisty/gutsy had a problem with usb bots [03:09] s/bots/boots [03:10] nepbabu niether of those did anything. [03:10] zappitelli16, again what device is it? wlan0? [03:10] I don't have a repair CD or an xp install cd so if anything goes wrong on my internal I'm outta luck. I still have to use my internal for somethings [03:10] intel wireless 2200BF [03:10] BG* === Johanna is now known as Jannita [03:11] zappitelli16, nope the interface [03:11] zappitelli16, eth0? [03:11] Ussr1943, did you enable USB booting in your BIOS? [03:11] yes i did [03:11] eth0 when I type in iwconfig says no wireless extensions === Jannita is now known as Johanna [03:11] zappitelli16, its probably eth1 [03:11] how can i modify a gtk theme, like just change the colors of a certain thing [03:11] I have 3 diff options USB-FDD, USB-CDROM, USB-ZIP. I've tried all of them, allthough i believe FDD is what i want [03:12] Hello? [03:12] eth 1 says unassociated ESSID: "126 Miracle" which is the wireless network I'm trying to connect to. [03:12] someone official? [03:12] zappitelli16, $ sudo iwconfig eth1 essid "your ssid" [03:12] now maybe there is a step i missed? I basicly just unhooked my internal, booted live, installed straight to my external, restarted changed bios, restarted and then i get the "please insert boot disk" message [03:12] after upgrading to gutsy, I can't mount /usr - the boot says the /dev/sda2 is already mounted or /usr busy [03:12] zappitelli16, $ sudo iwconfig eth1 essid "126 Miracle" [03:13] Anyone here intrested in and writing an article and getting admin privledges in a wiki?

[03:27] hmmm - looks like I can get /usr to mount by disabling the fsck check in /etc/fstab - not really ideal, but it's something [03:27] schwepps: you asking me?

[03:33] so it just occured to me (im sitting at the airport), but how do I disable my wireless adapter for the airplane? [03:33] vbabiy_laptop_: 1 moment I'll find the file to edit [03:33] cclampblues, the way i usually do it is download flash manually, unzip it, and drag the files to .mozilla/firefox/plugins [03:33] would just unchecking "Enable Wireless" do it? [03:33] schwepps: the tar.gz file? [03:33] tgm4883_laptop: ifdown wlan0? [03:34] cclampblues, yea, the tar.gz from adobe [03:34] <_Leppy> since no one wants to do any sort of order... subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 [03:34] Starnestommy, will that disable it though? [03:34] how should I fix it? [03:34] <_Leppy> can someone help me with this [03:34] <_Leppy> please [03:34] thanks genii === vbabiy_laptop_ is now known as vbabiy_laptop [03:34] tgm4883_laptop: It should, but you may also need to shut down wmaster0 [03:34] ok, sec [03:34] schwepps: ok. just drag and drop huh... ill give it a shot. thanks! [03:35] Starnestommy, actually, it looks like i only have lo, eth0 and eth1 [03:35] cclampblues, yea, the only file you should need is libflashplayer.so or something [03:35] it's a intel wireless card [03:35] vbabiy_laptop_: The old remnants are in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules [03:35] hi guys - how can i publish html/php files to apache, i.e. /var/www - have no access as user, only root access. [03:35] cclampblues, of course this assumes the firefox you use is 32 bits [03:35] tgm4883_laptop: the wireless is probably eth1 if you also have an ethernet port [03:35] Starnestommy, yea it is [03:36] <_Leppy> can someone help me with this [03:36] is there a awy to restore ubuntu? [03:36] <_Leppy> subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 [03:36] so probably just ifdown eth0 then right? [03:36] zappitelli16, your wifi router uses wep/wpa? [03:36] Starnestommy, is there a similar way to disable bluetooth too? [03:36] pvl1: restore ubuntu? [03:36] wpa [03:36] vbabiy_laptop_: You can safely delete all entries in that file, they will be recreated next boot anyhow [03:36] IndyGunFreak, yea like undo all changes within the last few days [03:36] pvl1: oh, no i don't think so. [03:36] genii: should i just wipe the file [03:36] zappitelli16, you need to get the correct key. putting in the essid only won't get you an IP address [03:37] _Leppy describe more your problem [03:37] vbabiy_laptop: No [03:37] tgm4883_laptop: I don't know how to do it for bluetooth, but there most likely is a way to do it [03:37] IndyGunFreak, oh thanks [03:37] !wpa | zappitelli16 [03:37] ok [03:37] zappitelli16: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [03:37] okay how do I do that? [03:37] i'll just try disableing that from the bios and see what happens [03:37] Hello guys.. :) I'm having some issues trying to connect to my smtp server. I can do it locally but I cannot do it remotely. I verified the IPTABLES and the remote computer has access to it. What could be happening? [03:37] <_Leppy> I keep getting this problem, I think it has to do with kubuntu docs and not being able to over write it [03:37] <_Leppy> the folder [03:37] genii: the 1st and 3rd are the same right http://pastebin.com/m5a4b9fae [03:37] zappitelli16, there's a section called "WPAHowTo". read it [03:37] <_Leppy> I try to update/upgrade anything and I get that along with problems with dpkg [03:38] okay thanks [03:38] hi guys\ [03:38] hey everyone, [03:38] vbabiy_laptop: Reading [03:38] hey [03:38] yw [03:38] hi damnweirdo [03:38] <_Leppy> when I try to sudo apt-get install -f it comes back with the same problem [03:38] O_o [03:38] Is there anyway I can run ubuntu w/o having to install it on my windows xp laptop? [03:38] genii: nvm 2 different macs [03:38] damnweirdo: A LIVE CD [03:38] _Leppy try this in a terminal: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a [03:38] !livecd | damnweirdo [03:38] damnweirdo: 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. [03:38] I have that, I think. I downloaded it, and burned it. [03:39] then start your computer with that cd in [03:39] damnweirdo, good. now set to boot from cd and boot if off the cd [03:39] vbabiy_laptop: Yup. I had this problem on an Intel Yukon adapet it wanted to randomly make itself a new mac for some reason. [03:39] damnweirdo: go to your bios and set it up to boot from the cd [03:39] Hello guys.. :) I'm having some issues trying to connect to my smtp server. I can do it locally but I cannot do it remotely. I verified the IPTABLES and the remote computer has access to it. What could be happening? [03:39] O_o [03:39] nep, that's what I've been trying to do. ... it always goes to the windows xp boot [03:39] vbabiy_laptop: In this case you can change eth1 to read eth0 then just wipe the other [03:39] how can I view the whole desktop for ubuntu remotely?

[03:46] How could I backup my current font configuration? I'm particularly smitten with it [03:46] nepbabu: called my isp and they were not blocking it [03:47] midgetnat, do you use a router? i'd double check that one as well [03:47] yup.. and the router is set to accept all connections to that machine [03:47] genii: do you know why vmware creates so many network alias [03:48] midgetnat, try telnet'ing to that machine [03:48] midgetnat, on that particular port [03:48] nepbabu: maybe something could be happening there... checked the inetd.conf and it has some lines about sendmail and exim and i have masqmail [03:48] vbabiy_laptop: No, i don't use it [03:48] genii: thanks [03:48] what directory is firefox stored in in xubuntu? [03:48] midgetnat, no idea [03:48] How I can read UDF cd in Ubuntu? [03:49] nepbabu: yup it says it cannot connect to it... when i restart the daemon, it says something about several smtps... but they are removed... apt-get removed them before [03:49] I have searched through google but found no solution [03:49] cclampblues: the program itself or the user config settings? [03:49] cclampblues: Why not ask in #xubuntu ? [03:49] eko_hermiyanto, iso9660 is the option your after [03:49] cclampblues, /usr/lib/firefox [03:49] specifically the plugin folder? how can i search in thunar? [03:49] nepbabu, yes, but, unfortunately our art department created the cd in this format [03:49] eko_hermiyanto, i said use that option [03:50] also... what is a .so file? [03:50] nepbabu, in mount? [03:50] cclampblues, it's a library [03:50] cclampblues: .so files are shared libraries [03:50] !mounting | eko_hermiyanto [03:50] eko_hermiyanto: Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in !GNOME under !Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For !Edgy and later, see !fstab and !DiskMounter [03:51] ok would that be the file i need to drag into the plugin folder to make flash work in firfox?

Just wanted to ask a simple question.

[03:52] thanks nepbabu. but ive been there and done that. ive followed the directiions. installed the flash plugin. and it doesnt work. i was told i can drag and drop the uncompressed file in firefox's plugin folder.... would that be the .so filee? [03:52] Woops, got disconnected could someone answer me again. [03:52] papuccino1: splash, i believe, is the screen after you sign in [03:53] Thanks for the answer Indy. [03:53] papuccino1: it's both the login screen and the screen before the login screen pops up [03:53] cclampblues, copy over libflashplayer.so and flashplayer.xpt to your ~/.mozilla/plugins [03:53] Thanks for the answers. [03:53] nepbabu: cclampblues why not just runt he install script, it will do it for you [03:53] has anyone tried "mepis"? [03:53] BIOSboiler: yes, its ok. [03:54] i installed video driver that i was prompted to after install and no i have no visual after ubuntu slider [03:54] anyone know of a decent nintendo ds emulator for ubuntu [03:54] has anyone seen a sata port timeout issue during boot - more spec. does anyone know of a fix or a workaround?

Any suggestions? is there a way to create a network adapter? [03:54] okay nepbabu I tried everything that the WPAHowTo said, and I still can't connect. [03:55] hey Indy do u like ubuntu better? [03:55] BIOSboiler: much. [03:55] why? [03:55] and after i have installed the plugin my mouse freezes. i have to restart now . what the hell is that? [03:55] just u like Gnome better than kde [03:55] I think I didn't properly burn the iso for my LIVE CD. [03:55] _Leppy I hope it works, if not just try to follow the eeror msg fro synaptic apt-get or aptitude [03:55] BIOSboiler: to many reasons to list.. but gnome over kde is one... yes [03:55] zappitelli17, in that case i can't help you. [03:55] this dude at work told me that GNOME was for Newbies [03:55] when I look at the CD, I only see one iso image file on the cd. [03:55] simp: i think it's adding irqpoll to boot option or something to do with turning on raid in the bios [03:55] do you know where I can get help? [03:55] BIOSboiler, no it's not. [03:56] BIOSboiler: that dude is an idiot, Gnome/Kubuntu/Xfce they all do the same thing, they just look different while doing it. [03:56] BIOSboiler, use it yourself first n see it first hand. [03:56] i have [03:56] BIOSboiler, I would agree with others, that person was an idiot [03:56] i like gnome [03:56] BIOSboiler, though KDE is often cited as being more for powerusers or people that want easy access to tweak everything [03:56] Can anyone help me mount a file off of another linux computer? [03:57] BIOSboiler, so if you like it. then why listen to some wannabies? [03:57] can anyone tell me if there's a special way of burning iso image file to a bootable cd? [03:57] NW2190, "mount" a file? [03:57] its j8ust all the hard core linux guys i know laugh at me when i told them i like gnome they said it was for Newbies only [03:57] NW2190, what do you mean? [03:57] sorry [03:57] Trying to change my usplash Grub Splash screen but for some reason its not working. I did use the Gnome GUI Splash screen manager and now I'm unable to change it anymore by replacing the file that is located in /usr/lib/usplash anymore any idea's on what to do? [03:57] damnweirdo: 1.. burn it slow, but google "How to burn an ISO" the first link is really good. [03:57] damnweirdo: just make sure you burn the image, not the file itself. If you see an iso file on the CD, its wrong [03:57] I mean a directory off of a computer on my local network [03:57] BIOSboiler, "hardcore" linux guys? Sounds like fluxbox/kde/etc fanbois... [03:57] NW2190: depends on the os of the other pc. what os is it? === son-son is now known as Ce_eXeMpHe [03:57] BIOSboiler, it's the first point contact for most linux users. so they might think it's for newbies [03:57] NW2190, nautilus has built in support for a lot of that sort of thing [03:57] flannel, that what I thought. THX [03:57] jimmy they like Freebds [03:57] DVS01: Slackware === Ce_eXeMpHe is now known as cE_eXeMpHe [03:57] Place->Connect to Server, etc [03:57] Freebsd [03:58] Well is there something I could add to my /etc/fstab? [03:58] BIOSboiler, hm, well, thats different than linux but meh, w/e. As far as I'm concerned I'm a hardcore GNOME user and happy with that [03:58] BIOSboiler, i've used minix in the past. does that make me uber? [03:58] BIOSboiler, its all personal choice there is no GUI that is for newbies only [03:58] NW2190, you could look at FUSE/FUSEFS to see if it will mount networked transparently... I'm not sure it will :/ [03:58] how do I look up what my wireless card's interface is? [03:58] i cannot in stall my linksys wireless adapter [03:59] !fuse | NW2190 [03:59] NW2190: FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) is a !kernel driver that allows non-root users to create their own filesystems. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace for more on FUSE. Some examples of filesystems that use FUSE are !ntfs-3g, sshfs and isofs. A full list of Filesystems that use FUSE is here: http://fuse.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/FileSystems [03:59] NW2190: easiest way imo is sshfs. get sshfs, and you can then connect via ssh to another system and mount its filesystem to yours [03:59] can some one help me [03:59] Hey guys, Quick question: What could I use to make an NFO and a SFV file in Ubuntu. [03:59] NW2190: that or look up nfs. you can also use samba, but thats typically for windows integration [03:59] !ask | Brandon_ [03:59] Brandon_: 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. :-) [03:59] !ask | brandon__ [03:59] brandon__: 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. :-) [03:59] cclampblues: /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/ [03:59] DVS01: K thanks I'll try to look at that [03:59] papuccino1, NFO is a txt file renamed to NFO for people that use "Warez" while NFO is a windows file containing system information [03:59] lol k [03:59] sshfs is FUSE based, so you can mount as a regular user, without having to be root [04:00] NW2190: example.. mkdir ~/otherpc ; sshfs user@someotherpc.net:/path/to/somewhere ~/otherpc [04:00] papuccino1, SFV if I remember right is a file checksum for people that download a RAR/TAR/ZIP file so look at your corresponding zip/rar program [04:00] I see. Thanks for the NFO information. So I just write in a simple text editor, rename the extension ".nfo" and it would be an NFO file? Correct? [04:00] Hey is there any one who now how to make the desktop cube transparent? [04:00] Yes [04:01] brandon__, run ccsm, it will let you configure compiz [04:01] Thanks Invisible. [04:01] One more question. How do I make a SFV file in Linux? [04:01] hey jimmy how long have u been a linux user? [04:01] Anyone got a spare sec to help me fix my grub splash that I borked up :P [04:01] DVS01_, I am new at ubuntu can u be more specific? [04:01] i am having trouble with my wireless.. i had it setup manually but it stopped working after i turned my computer off at the end of the day and on the next day.. so i am using roaming now, it connects to my router, but I cannot get to any websites [04:01] papuccino1, SFV if I remember right is a file checksum for people that download a RAR/TAR/ZIP file so look at your corresponding zip/rar program [04:01] any ideas [04:01] ? [04:02] brandon__: system|preferences|advanced desktop effects settings [04:02] Invisible_Ubunti, describe it real quick and someone might be able to help [04:02] citm, load your wireless network search tool, unless you have it load at startup you have to reconnect everytime [04:02] brandon__: if that doenst exist, you may have to install it thru synaptic package manager [04:02] how do I get Device Manager to come up in Gutsy under Administration? [04:02] TKingdom, I did but I'll repeat :) [04:02] Trying to change my usplash Grub Splash screen but for some reason its not working. I did use the Gnome GUI Splash screen manager and now I'm unable to change it anymore by replacing the file that is located in /usr/lib/usplash anymore any idea's on what to do? [04:02] It happens :) [04:02] network manager seems to load at startup and connect to the network automatically [04:02] yo [04:03] Yes, I know it's for file verification purposes. In windows, I would select all the RAR's (I would divide a big file into small rar files) and then rightclick selecting create SFV file in the shell menu. [04:03] A different program did that process. Not WinRar. [04:03] gdesklets [04:03] citm, I know on my laptop I use Kubuntu and I had to manually startup the wireless app to connect it wouldn't do it on startup [04:03] if I want to search for something from console what's the most effect tool to do that? [04:03] ya i got that stuff but cant rilly find it [04:04] heartsblood, find [04:04] thanks Invisible_Ubunti. Seems to startup automatically in gnome - i'd install kubuntu, which i want to, but i cnat get on the net on it. [04:04] lol [04:04] papuccino1, it depends on what program your using to make the rar as to how to make the SVF file is what I'm hinting at.. if you are making RAR's then consult the --help menu of the rar consolde command [04:04] any of u dudes can help me out with this it's me first time useing linux i want to use Beryl so i can download a dock like the one i had in mac [04:04] heartsblood: find or locate but you might want to do sudo updatedb first [04:04] Invisible_Ubunti: Is the Gnome GUI Splash called gnome-splashscreen-manager? [04:04] Brandon: download Gnome Compiz Manager. You can edit everything from a simple window. No need for code. Just search for: "Gnome Compiz Manager".

[04:05] i want to chinese channel,but i donot known how to do [04:05] nepbabu, thats the problem that isn't working [04:05] All you need is USplash installed and Start-Up Manager [04:05] putnum search for virtualbox.org [04:05] BIOSboiler: freeBSD is of Unix origin, Ubuntu is of Linux origin.

[04:06] heartsblood, ok [04:06] BIOSboiler, the different is Windows is Windows and ReactOS is only an operating system which created to act like Windows(that's same with Unix and Linux) [04:06] well i mean not see the gui [04:06] BIOSboiler: Much. The core code is not the same. Also BSD retains much in the way of traditional unix filesystem structures [04:06] nepbabu, I got this Fingerprint Splash one and its messed up the part that moves to show progress is all messed up so I went to change it and used the GUI manager now the GUI won't change it and neither will command line [04:06] like have it run as a process [04:06] <^Elfboy> hi anyone here know ubuntu server [04:06] all programs run as processes [04:07] ^Elfboy ? [04:07] Invisible_Ubunti, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto [04:07] oh thanks [04:07] i don't want to see the vmware window i guess is what i am trying to say [04:07] How come when I delete files they do not show up in my Trash?

What's the program called, can't find it in the menus nor can I launch it in the alt+f2 process. [04:07] nepbabu, did all that :) [04:08] BIOSboiler: Binaries for one will not work on the other. Although bsd has a linux binary compatability feature, last i saw it supported kernel 2.4 binaries. [04:08] putnum, either use screen, '&' at the prompt, run it in the initscripts, etc [04:08] how can i update my repositorys ? I have enabled all kinds of repositorys except source but when i search for Xchat it only finds 1 result oposed to the two results i got before reinstalling ubuntu ? [04:08] Invisible_Ubunti, then i have no help for you. [04:08] dozens of different solutions [04:08] k thx guys [04:08] Invisible_Ubunti: I had the same symptoms, I got tired of looking how to get it back to normal but I just ended up reinstalling [04:08] putnum: if you start a virtual machine then it is run in the background until you stop it or shutdown [04:08] nepbabu, added vga=791 to the menu.lst file replaced the file in /usr/lib/usplash and recreated the link [04:08] does anyone in hear like freebsd? [04:08] Ok, downloaded the rar program from the Add/Remove menu. What's the program called, can't find it in the menus nor can I launch it in the alt+f2 process. [04:08] ok. so here goes again. I am trying to install flash plugin for firefox. i have attempted to do it through firefox and it always failed. i installed it through the add/remove programs option. i start firefox and it says i still need to install the plugin. only now if i click the link to do so in firefox it says that it is already installed. i have the tar.gz uncompressed on my desktop ---dragging and dropping as was suggested to me doe [04:08] Invisible_Ubunti, try vga=ask and set the lowest one after scan [04:08] putnum: or you can set it up to start individual vm in the startup script [04:08] nepbabu, thanks anyways.. think its just being a bit weird right now :) [04:09] BIOSboiler: I've used it in vm's before [04:09] papuccino1, are you talking about unrar? [04:09] BIOSboiler, sure. i also like long walks on the beach and champagne [04:09] ok and does anybody know if vbox works seamlessly like vmware does? And how many concurrent sessions does it allow ? [04:09] Install compiz-fusion and see if that takes it back to normal. [04:09] i know vmware only allows 3 [04:09] Jewsus_: in Linux if you delete a file, its deleted .. the "delete" button is a move to trash not delete. [04:09] i istalled the driver i was prompted to by the system and now i hav no visual [04:09] putnum: what do you mean 3? [04:09] what do i do to bring it back? [04:09] No [04:09] do0zman: try disablibng usplash [04:10] *disabling [04:10] The program just says "Rar" [04:10] i run vmware server and i don't see a limit [04:10] TKingdom, might have to do that. Think one of the settings are messed up in the profile of mine to hold it to the splash screen it is now just don't know where else to look [04:10] I just deleted /dev/null. is there any way to get it back? [04:10] yurimxpxman, probably best to reboot [04:10] how would i do that i booted into recovery mode [04:10] Rar: Compression Uncompression tool. That's all it says. [04:10] vmware (from what i have read) only allows you to have 3 concurrent rdp sessions open at a time [04:10] yurimxpxman: man /dev/null --- shows you commands to restore /dev/null at the bottom of the manpage. [04:10] noogen: really? [04:10] papuccino1, ok so that is probably unrar [04:10] yeah, what kind of limit are you talking about? [04:10] do0zman, by visual, you mean X11? [04:10] mahmoud_ if I specifically choose "Move to Trash" it still does not show up in the trash [04:10] karlNY: cool. Thanks [04:11] yurimxpxman: hang on I lied [04:11] do0zman, you could edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and use the vesa driver, for example [04:11] sudo mknod c 1 3 /dev/null or something like that? [04:11] schwepps what does that mean? [04:11] yurimxpxman: if that doesn't show it, try man /dev/zero [04:11] Jewsus_ : is that a NTFS partition? [04:11] if i use the regular boot(not recovery) i get a blank screen [04:11] so you can open notepad,photoshop,itunes and ie all at the sametime? and are you running them seamlessly or in the vm console [04:11] hey, if a fairly old computer randomly shutsdown (regardless of distro) is the problem likely with the power supply?

[04:12] papuccino1, by doing "rar --help" it says type sfx[name] Create SFX archive [04:12] Jewsus_, cfdisk? [04:13] TKingdom: ya pretty much. and the intervals are really random [04:13] but down write anything for the love of god [04:13] putnum: it just work, though the session is your os limitation [04:13] really odd - removing evms solved my /usr refusing to mount [04:13] just installed ubuntu. howcome when it books, X doesnt start, and when i type startx, i go in as root? [04:13] so do rar and at the end of the command put sfx *filename* [04:13] yurimxpxman: Your answer is in #kubuntu [04:13] schwepps, cfdisk says "Fatal error: Cannot open disk drive" [04:13] Jewsus_, sudo [04:13] TKingdom: sometimes it will stay on for hours and other times it won't last 10 minutes [04:13] putnum: there was an xp sp1 update that remove this limit in xp [04:13] yea [04:13] but all i need is one session [04:13] Invisible, where do I type this "rar --help" command? [04:13] decay: try sudo invoke-rc.d gdm start instead [04:13] ok ty [04:13] decay, sounds like your xserver is having driver issues or you didn' create a normal user? [04:13] NW2190: Well, if everything else on the motherboard works fine then you might try swapping the PSU, just to make sure. [04:14] say again? [04:14] i got disconnected [04:14] mahmoud_, I think it's ntfs [04:14] ok where can i get the patch [04:14] in console [04:14] Starnestommy: thanks.

[04:15] TKingdom: Ya, sometimes after it randomly shutsdown the monitor doesn't display anything on startup and I have to wait a while for it to work. Could that be related to a PSU problem? [04:15] 8gb [04:15] damn [04:15] i only have 2 [04:15] yep [04:15] NW2190 yes it could be [04:15] i have 512 lol [04:16] i am gonna try and set it up so i can run it over ssh [04:16] Hey guys -- where do I forage to RTFM about customizing VPN tunnels so only one application (or port) is connected via tun0, and all others go through a normal eth0 public connection?

[04:54] dbgi: You do need the ubuntu-restricted-extras package to play MP3/M4A, etc [04:54] i love vlc [04:54] !splash [04:54] To change the Gnome splash screen, use !gnome-splashscreen-manager or change the GConf key /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image using !gconf-editor. [04:55] VLC is good -- but I use it mainly for videos [04:55] Cpudan80, i dont know, its playing my mp3's fine [04:55] true [04:55] I'm using the LIVE cd right now, if I wanted to just mess around with it could I install programs through terminal or it won't work?

[05:03] zappitelli16: have you tried using ndiswrapper with a windows version of the driver? [05:04] I am adding a command to run in my ~/.fluxbox/startup file, would I end it with & or && (it only runs and ends, doesn't stay running like amarok or pidgin, etc.) ??? [05:04] deadlyallance543 you know this page? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FingerprintAuthentication [05:04] no I haven't used ndiswrapper, but I was under the impression that the drivers I used would work. no? [05:04] maybe they will work, but I have to access them through ndiswrapper?? [05:04] bobgill: neither, the commands are not started in a shell so do not need to be backgrounded [05:04] zappitelli16, nope. ipw2200 should work out of the box [05:05] anybody can helpme about a ipod touch with AMAROCK? [05:05] !amarok | Paper_App [05:05] Paper_App: Amarok is an audio player for Linux with an intuitive interface. The latest version is 1.4.8 (1.4.3 for Dapper LTS). Packages are available for Kubuntu at www.kubuntu.org See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Amarok [05:05] can anyone tell me why the flash update broke flash? [05:05] because adobe is sh|t [05:05] thats what I thought. I don't know how to tell why it isn't working I've followed all the documentation and can't come to any conclusions. I do not have a device manager under administration though, if that makes a difference. [05:06] zappitelli16, try ndiswrapper and see how it goes [05:06] how? [05:06] hey, I was wondering. If you've got a family computer and you want a shared directory which anyone can access, is it the best practice to create a /home/shared and set privileges to 777? [05:06] yeah... but.. my ipod touch is not available (at devices list) [05:06] apt-get install ndiswrapper? [05:06] Paper_App: i can't even get my machine recognising my brother's ipod touch as a device [05:07] zappitelli16, Synaptic Package Manager should have it [05:07] eventide: world writable is never a good idea, make it 775, and owned by a group which everyone belongs to [05:07] hi,there [05:07] can I run it through synaptic package manager? Or will it work upon installation? [05:08] anyone here officially with ubuntu? [05:08] i found a web link (they saw "it is possible") [05:08] i'm sorry, i don't understand, zappitelli16 [05:08] rephrase plz [05:08] astro76: okay. But there's no standard "shared folder" by default in ubuntu right? I have to create it myself in /home/shared [05:08] I have a lot op trouble with logging on my ubuntu box on both gnome as sshd. I a absolutely sure that my passwords are correct, but I just can't get logged in. I have this same problem when I try to run synaptic, but when I run synaptic from the root prompt I can start it. [05:08] do you like it? [05:08] yes thanks, Paper_App [05:08] how do I get ndiswrapper to work? through synaptic package manager [05:08] could it be because I did: sudo su; passwd root [05:09] it is in spanish.... no problem?? [05:09] mm, my spanish ain't fabulous [05:09] anyone here officially with ubuntu? [05:09] but i'm a linguist, so i should be able to do something with it, [05:09] gibbit me [05:09] !anyone | Mr__ [05:09] Mr__: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [05:09] eventide: that would work [05:09] zappitelli16, after installation, it should be under System->Administration->Windows Wireless Drivers [05:09] http://magarto.com/blog/archivo/2007/12/31/iphone-ipod-touch-ubuntu-gtkpod-amarok/ [05:10] ta [05:10] hi -- ive got a series of video files that im trying to re-assemble in they are avi files named waterfall.avi.001 etc -- one of them is missing and when i try to cat them back togehter it wont play past the missing chunk - is tehre a way (or program) to get it to ignore the chunk nad keep goin? [05:10] I don't have a windows wireless drivers application under administration [05:10] ooh, an animated favicon [05:10] zappitelli16, did you install ndiswrapper from synaptic package manager? [05:10] need to speak with somone from ubuntu [05:10] Hi, I got a problem when resizing my windows vista partition with gparted as found on the 7.04 live cd in order to install ubuntu: [05:10] "The ntfs partition is hibernated. Windows must be resumed and turned off properly so resizing could be done safely." [05:10] I shut windows vista down with the option "shut down", so this message is a bit confusing to me and I could not find any useful help on this with google or the forums. [05:11] Yes synaptic package manager is showing that ndiswrapper-common and ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 are both installed [05:11] astro76: okay. thanks for the input [05:11] Any advise on what to try next? [05:11] Mr__: ubuntu doesn't have an official support network as such, since it's all free, they can't afford to employ tech support people === Zou1 is now known as Zoup [05:11] zappitelli16, you also need ndisgtk === vollkor1 is now known as vollkorn [05:12] just wondering if the new name on my site will be ok [05:12] they asked me to switch the other one [05:12] :( [05:12] vollkorn: desktop pc or laptop? [05:12] ndisgtk is not coming up installed, or not installed [05:12] Laptop Thinkpad X61 [05:13] Mr_ Jangari -- doesn't ubuntu sell commercial support via enterprise editions? [05:13] Mr__: then you should ask them via whatever venue they asked you in the first place ;) [05:13] actually, you should just backup your data and delete vista [05:13] karlNY: no enterprise edition, they just sell support, and it's canonical [05:13] vollkorn: [05:13] !canonical [05:13] Canonical Ltd. is committed to the development, distribution and promotion of open source software products, and to providing tools and support to the open source community. It is the driving force behind the Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, and Edubuntu Operating Systems. Canonical's website is at http://www.canonical.com/ [05:13] its not showing up under all in synaptic package manager... now what? [05:13] Jangari: unfortunately I need vista for work :( [05:13] quit! [05:14] only kidding, [05:14] just hoping buntfu.com will be ok with them [05:15] i'm not sure what to do, vollkorn, i've never used vista, but there might be an option to disable the feature that keeps it hybernating (presumably it's so it can restore fast, and waste heaps of power) [05:15] Hi - I have a Live Free or Die Hard DVD that wouldn't play in linux on VLC or Totem, but it DID play in Windows VLC. Other DVDs work in Ubuntu. What could be the issue? [05:15] zappitelli16, is there an install cd for you wireless adapter? [05:15] your* [05:15] no thats the problem. [05:15] my ffmpeg doesnt recognize xvid [05:15] E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [05:15] I keep getting that error whenever I try to install ANYTHING. Fix, plz & ty [05:15] (when I try to convert) [05:15] Mr__: more likely hoping to spam the link here [05:15] Can VPNC, route, and iptables be used to force one single application (jabber client) to connect through my office VPN tunnel (while keeping my main PC net-interface on my cable-modem's IP ? [05:15] Ubuntu is stored to my hard disk can I find ndisgtk on the CD? [05:15] Berto: i think you have to install the libraries to let you play proprietary dvds [05:15] Jangari: So you say vista is hibernating though it says it is shutting down? [05:16] or can I download ndisgtk offline? [05:16] Jangari, which packages are those? [05:16] astro76: actually no i just don't want anymore hoopla over it [05:16] well, gparted thinks it's hibernating, right? I'd trust gparted over any bill gates app any day [05:16] just trying to help build something [05:16] Jangari, that was on my Media PC, I'm trying on my personal box right now... [05:16] zappitelli16, with or without ndisgtk, you still need the install disk for your wireless adapter. try google to find the files [05:16] don't want to step on toes [05:16] Mr__: ok but it's been made clear no one official is here [05:16] can anyone help me on this please? I can't find anything on google. [05:17] astro76: k sorry everyone didn't mean to offend [05:17] Jangari, same thing happens with this Die Hard DVD on my box. I hit play, the scroll-bar comes up, and then it dies and goes back to normal VLC startup mode [05:17] zachalink: run sudo dpkg --configure -a in a terminal [05:17] hi [05:17] hi, will reinstalling the mysql packages remove the databases? [05:17] dunno Berto [05:17] then it says something about configuring java and doesn't load it [05:17] !dvd | Berto [05:17] Berto: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs [05:17] zemonstas_: as long as you don't choose purge , or remove completely, no [05:17] thanks Jangari and nepbabu [05:17] am I looking for files or a new CD? Sorry I'm such a beginner [05:18] zemonstas_: but this sounds like a good time to back up your databases anyway [05:18] yw [05:18] Setting up java-common (0.26ubuntu1) ... won't go any further for some reason.. [05:18] nickrud - I can't backup because mysql.sock is unable to be connected through [05:18] !java | zachalink [05:18] zachalink: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository (in !Backports for !Edgy) [05:18] nickrud - i'm trying to desperately restore database connectivity [05:19] zemonstas_: is your database local or on a remote server? [05:19] jangari - remote [05:19] zappitelli16, try for "install files for " [05:19] but it gives me the error when I try to install anything, anywhere [05:19] not just terminal [05:19] zemonstas_: you've stopped and started mysql? (just a quicky, I'm not particularly familiar with mysql, just used it lightly) [05:19] can you login via ftp and nav to the database? or is it embedded deeper than you can access? [05:19] nickrud - stopping and starting mysql fails [05:19] hi [05:20] Am I looking for drivers? because I just installed those [05:20] jangari - i'm logged in and using the SSH so i have command line [05:20] zachalink: you need to use my nick in the messages when you reply, so I don't miss them. Did you run the command I gave you? [05:20] yes, and I said it was stuck there and wouldn't load any further [05:20] jangari: Well, I thought the problem could be something like the version found on the 7.04 cd is not aware of changes introduced by vista ad I'll just try the new version found on the 7.10 cd. [05:20] can you find it via ssh? [05:20] zappitelli16, so you just need to set up the drivers? [05:20] Jangari - can i find what? [05:20] maybe? [05:20] O_o [05:21] the actual db, or is it somewhere ytou can't access? [05:21] nickrud: yes, and I said it was stuck there and wouldn't load any further. (sorry, forgot) [05:21] zachalink: didn't see it, it got lost in the chatter. Use my nick, it's red on my screen. run sudo apt-get -f install in a terminal, and paste the complete output [05:21] how do I set up the drivers? [05:21] zachalink: not here!!!!!! [05:21] zachalink: paste the output on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org [05:21] zappitelli16, in terminal, sudo lshw -C network [05:22] I have ndiswrapper. Could someone please tell me how to install the wireless drivers after that? [05:22] now what? [05:22] !ndiswrapper | Roy [05:22] Roy: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [05:22] zappitelli16, is the driver there? [05:23] nickrud: thank you so much! ^_^ [05:23] Thank you nepbabu. [05:23] yw [05:23] I can't tell can you send me the link for paste bin? [05:23] what? [05:23] zomg [05:23] the update removed flash ... [05:23] the Dell Inspiron Laptop 1420 N says it has Ubuntu 7.10 but doesn't say it has DVD playback like the other ones do, does this mean it can't play dvds? [05:24] !pastebin | zappitelli16 [05:24] zappitelli16: 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) [05:24] !ndiswrapper | zappitelli16 [05:24] zappitelli16: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [05:24] !dvd | Aloha [05:24] that works as well ;s [05:24] Aloha: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs [05:24] lolz [05:24] Aloha: try.. if it can't see !medibuntu to add it (assuming it has a dvd drive..) [05:24] Aloha, it just means that they don't provide a "licensed" dvd app. You can easily install vlc/mplayer/xine/ogle or others to play dvds [05:25] simps, this is what came up, I can't tell if the driver is there or not [05:25] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55057/plain/ [05:25] o yes I see it, the drivers are listed under network 0 [05:25] i m install the non macromedia flash plugin . but it is not working very vell. how can i uninstall?

[05:41] why when i enable the extra visual effects i cant move the windows anymore.. unles i use alt+drag [05:41] *anything [05:41] i have jackd installed but when i open Rosegarden it tells me i need to run the JACK server [05:41] can I get it to log to a file? [05:41] wats wrong? [05:41] spk: you might try looking in /var/log/syslog , there might be some clues there. [05:41] nope, tried [05:41] What tools do I use to make it so only one application (or port) is connected via tun0, and all others go through a normal eth0 public connection? [05:42] someone please anwser me :S? [05:43] spk, Have you looked at dmesg? [05:43] i have jackd installed but when i open Rosegarden it tells me i need to run the JACK server. how do i run it? [05:44] dogpigeoncow: the sound system in linux is still kinda crappy. Since you're obviously new to linux (which gets less and less daily ;) you might want to wait for the next release. The sound system is supposed to be revamped. https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/cleanup-audio-jumble has some hope. [05:44] hi.. I am trying to edit an alias file in /etc folder but told I can't as I am not owner... but I am the only user?? [05:44] nothing there [05:44] is my question clear? I am asking about legitimate automation of VPN access, which I have already. I just want to use iptables/etc so that etho doesn't turn into tun0... that way I can keep my 30 apps open the same, just open up jabber (and run a ??script?? to vpn/proxy the jabber?)... and only jabber goes through the VPN/private IP/net. [05:44] wassa: use sudo [05:45] sudo? [05:45] I'm trying to add Hamachi to startup. it works fine if I use "sudo /etc/init.d/hamachi start" [05:45] !info sudo [05:45] sudo (source: sudo): Provide limited super user privileges to specific users.

[05:46] hey guys, i have a dir with 1500 hi-res images and I want to batch convert them all to 1024x768, what is the most efficient way of doing this (I love command line tools) [05:46] can anyone help me configure the WPA supplicant for Gutsy? [05:47] xentrho: use convert from imagemagick and create a bash script [05:47] spk: have you configured it to start in the default runlevel? [05:47] spk bash script? [05:47] where is the sorucelist? [05:47] thx the help nicrkud. evrithing works fine [05:47] xenthro: are you confortable with the command line? [05:48] sluggo: not sure [05:48] soldats... do i need to install sudo through package installer [05:48] cvd: /etc/apt/sources.list , or system->admin->software sources [05:48] I set it to defaults [05:48] spk: update-rc.d hamachi defaults [05:48] spk, getting there [05:48] sluggo: yeah, I did that [05:48] etc/apt cvd [05:49] like I said, it works, just not on startup but I cant see the message [05:49] arrg [05:49] do all internet applications (jabber, aim) have to use ports off the same outbound gateway, or can I create tun0 to handle aim/jabber, while leaving firefox/gmail open using eth0? [05:50] xenthro: convert is a command line program to do ONE image, and a bash script is a way to automate many commands, hence many images [05:50] wassa: no just add "sudo" to the start of the command you want to run [05:50] couldn't iptables and route create a direct path for some apps based on port#, while leaving open web-browser/gmail running on eth0 through main gateway? [05:50] ie sudo commands [05:51] does anyone know of a FTP Brute Force App [05:52] soldats.. im trying follow this tutorial http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/11/18/how-to-disable-ipv6-on-ubuntu-710-gutsy-gibbon/ [05:52] non valid question for an ubuntu support channe; [05:52] wassa: what command are you doing. i cant click links [05:52] !splash screen [05:52] Sorry, I don't know anything about splash screen - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [05:52] # Line commented out by installer because it failed to verify:? [05:52] its to disable IPV6 [05:53] quick question, if I'm restoring /var/cache/apt directory from a backup, is there anything (other than apt-get update) to be done to sync the cache? [05:53] anyone else know what is outputting messages to tty1 at bootup? [05:53] it says to edit a line in the etc/../alias file [05:53] musikgoat: maybe "updatedb" [05:53] spk thanks for the tip. ill research it [05:54] wassa: well edit the line like "sudo edit /etc/../alias" [05:54] soldats: which is not a valid Q?

[05:54] not youthough === adante_ is now known as adante [05:55] thanks soldats [05:55] BTW -- if my vpn/route question is invalid here (despite I'm trying to do it w/Xubuntu and kvpnc)- is there a better #channel? [05:55] I had a quick question, I installed Tiny Fugue in Ubuntu, but whenever I click to load it.. it does nothing. [05:55] What tools do I use to make it so only one application (or port) is connected via tun0, and all others go through a normal eth0 public connection? [05:56] I lost sound on my comp, and can't restart alsa (tried /etc/init.d/alsasound start//restart). It's not in the GUI services window, and I don't see it in the startup services under sessions... how can I restart alsa without rebooting? -_- [05:56] karlNY: hhmm i know you can route irc and aim through diff ports with the gui preferences [05:56] equilizer for audacious [05:57] 31 bands [05:57] Can anyone help me configure WPA supplicant? I'm confused.. and a newbie. [05:57] soldats - right right. now if only I can figure out how to force "vpnc" to tunnel using a certain interface or port... [05:58] karlNY: whats vpnc [05:58] zappitelli16, Try this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WPAHowTo [05:58] soldats: its like command-line kvpnc [05:58] soldats.. i don't understand what you mean.. I launched terminal window and enter the following sudo edit /etc/modprobe.d [05:58] soldats: it's a VPN client for Ubuntu/Debian etc [05:59] soldats: it connects to Cisco-based VPN nets. [05:59] works well, too [05:59] once you have it set up [05:59] actually re-re-reading the manpage, it looks like there is something called vpnc-scipts [05:59] that can set an additional route and leave existing gateway alone.... perhaps that's it!!?? [06:00] is anybody around? [06:00] karlNY: i bet if there is a config for it youshoud be able to connect it to whatever port youwant [06:00] * karlNY checks again [06:00] phaedra I'm confused what this means : Edit /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf to include your network. The info to include can be generated with wpa_passphrase (although this is optional, it saves the supplicant having to generate the preshared key (PSK) each time it is started): [06:00] Audio_1: nope, 1134 people arent around [06:00] !ask [06:00] Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily).

[06:04] i am stuck [06:05] zinox: hmm strange did you set a config file to not do a click menu [06:05] Im having an issue with Banshee & ALSA.. I can start a song, it plays fine, when the song ends.. Banshee will proceed to start another song but hang, in fact it may be hanging before the switch. Any thoughts? [06:05] bleh that didn't help...anyone know if there's a command to restart ALSA? or should I just wait 'till I can restart? [06:05] I'm running off the 6.06 Live CD, I did this before but I forgot... how do I get the Flash plugin for Firefox... I did it before... it was a code I used in the Terminal [06:05] imforgetfull: "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree" [06:06] soldats only did apt-get install and start fluxbox [06:06] imforgetfull: go to the adobe site and install from therre [06:06] i did that it doesn't work [06:06] can you install a package to the live CD? o.O [06:06] imforgetfull: open your browser and in the address bad do "about:plugins" [06:06] imforgetfull: prolly because the live cd doesnt have the universe or multiverse repository enabled.. [06:07] yeah i need that [06:07] i just did that code it said "couldn't find package' [06:07] follow soldats method then [06:07] Can some one help me i used airoscript (to test my AP for security flaws before i switch to WPA) but before that i did manuall and now after waiting 2hours on airoscript i got 85,000 Data Packets but i cant seem to find where they are [06:08] whowas spk [06:08] Much Appriciated if you can help because that was a mighty boring 2hours and 35mins and 19 seconds...and 150 blinks.. [06:08] is it advisable to uninstall firefox and autoremove and then install it again via synaptic? [06:09] sooooooo...alsa restart command? -_- [06:09] sky_: there are most likely dependencies attached to firefox with gnome [06:09] can anyone help me with azureus? :\ [06:10] WGGMk: what if I install the ubufox extension along with firefox? [06:10] I only want to remove alsa-base linux-sound-base and alsa-utils, when I try to remove them apt-get says: The following packages will be REMOVED: alsa-base alsa-utils fast-user-switch-applet gdm gdm-themes gnome gnome-desktop-environment linux-sound-base ubuntu-desktop ubuntu-minimal [06:10] sky_: im not very familiar with the firefox packages, you would be better off asking another person [06:10] oh ok [06:10] I'm just sick of flash breaking... [06:10] this is advice from the troubleshooting sound problems doc. [06:11] my sound works, but it is using OSS and alsa is configured [06:11] it just defaults to alsa's OSS emulation or something [06:11] sky_: you dont need to remove firefox to remove flash [06:11] http://www.walfas.org/flash/yousei.swf <--- this worked fine before adobe started that flash issue, and now it loads, and plays for like the first 5 seconds for me before blanking out... [06:11] ok, found it. it seems that the hamachi boot script I added is running before the dhcp has given the machine an IP address, hence failing. How do I control the service startup order? [06:11] WGGMk: I've removed flash time and time again [06:11] tehdave: hmmm maybe "sudo /etc/init.d/alsasound stop" then start [06:12] with and without the restricted extras set... [06:12] sky_: what method are you using to isntall it? [06:12] when I use firefox and play something with the flash plugin, I then can't play any files with another app until I close the tab that has the flash plugin opened, or kill firefox... happens with other programs too. [06:12] spk, service order is controlled in /etc/rcx.d [06:12] synaptic [06:12] i really don't get this.. I used sudo edit /etc/modprobe.d ... shouldn't this allow me to then open a file in that directory and edit it? [06:12] where x represents the init level [06:12] They hold on the the device, /dev/C0D0p [06:12] and it blocks my sound. [06:12] sky_: on the forums there is a post about flash using ndiswrapper.. you might have more success with that [06:12] anyone know why? [06:12] but each time i try and save the file i am told i don't have permission still [06:12] soldats: "Command not found" [06:12] wassa: try "gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/**" where ** is the file [06:12] mind linking me to it?(I don't even know what ndiswrapper is, but I understand that synaptic installs it whenever I try installing flash) [06:13] soldats: I found kvpnc has a GUI to configure extra routs, NAT, and all sorts of custom transport options -- I need to go RTFM and find out what route or port binding I can force my client to do -- Im much closer to figuring it out. [06:13] okay, so i finally dug out my neverwinter nights disks but my disk NWNG D3 a corrupt file in the archive[/data/voicesets.bif], anyone else have the game willing to share the zip file from disk three?or is there a torrent i can get it from? [06:13] (of course, I autoremove after ear flash uninstall [06:13] wassa: use sudo gedit [06:13] so, what would this do: sudo update-rc.d hamachi defaults [06:13] soldats: thanks for your help / sounding board [06:13] !offtopic bluefoxx [06:13] karlNY: :) i wish i knew more about it [06:13] tehdave, ok, ok [06:13] wondering if someone could help me out... I have a Optorite ML101 mouse.. has three thumb buttons, scroll and standard buttons... my middle thumb button does what the middle mouse button should do... although the middle mb does nothing but scroll... is there a fix for this?

[06:22] mib_hoimx7d7-> you deleted an important partition, which partition was that? [06:22] mib_hoimx7d7: did you back up the partition table? [06:23] it was a windows partition [06:23] So guys, how should I go about installing flash again? [06:23] via firefox? [06:23] yes i have the backed up partition [06:23] table [06:23] cvd: is quicktime installed if so do "about:plugins" in the browser address bar and check. if not restart your browser and see if it helps [06:23] mib_hoimx7d7: you can probably re-write the table and have your partitions back proper. [06:23] i can view the partition using a live cd [06:23] spk: did you get your hamachi working? [06:23] so thats not the problem [06:23] all the data is there [06:23] mib_hoimx7d7: why can't you see what from ubuntu [06:23] it just doesnt boot [06:24] oh. [06:24] sky_: go to the adobe page and install the tar.gz and follow the directions on install methods [06:24] mib_hoimx7d7: probably because device numbers changed [06:24] sluggo: yes and no. it is running before I have an IP at bootup, so thats why its failing [06:24] i have everything, codecs, moz plugz, players, but nothing happen [06:24] I'm trying to figure out how to make it run later during bottup [06:24] mib_hoimx7d7: re-examine your partitioning scheme... you're logical partition numbers changed and now you have to reconfigure grub or edit fstab or something rather. [06:24] spk: hamachi doesnt need you to have an IP to get its own IP [06:24] sluggo: true, but I'm asking it to login as well [06:25] and go online [06:25] spk: try this update-rc.d -f hamachi remove [06:25] mib_hoimx7d7: i.e. if you removed /dev/hda6 /dev/hda7 may become the new /dev/hda6 [06:25] mib_hoimx7d7: I like tomd's re-configure grub idea -- as long as you're backing everything up like you said you were. [06:25] spk: thenn update-rc.d hamachi start 99 2 3 4 5 . stop 99 0 1 6 this will make start later in boot process [06:25] spk: not to barge in, but make a script and put it into rc.local, that should work [06:25] mib_hoimx7d7-> when you are in liveCD you can mount these partitions okay? [06:25] sluggo: thats what I'm trying, but what does that line say? :) [06:26] yes === ubuntu is now known as annoid [06:26] ok then...

[06:31] timandtom: i forget how to unset networks, it uses gconftool though [06:31] karlNY: i backed up everything important [06:31] mib_hoimx7d7: Sweet! [06:32] mib_hoimx7d7: then check out "grub-install" [06:32] mib_hoimx7d7-> find out which partition your menu.lst is and vmlinuz and initrd [06:32] karlNY i already reinstalled grub [06:32] timandtom: this is also handy http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ [06:32] Hey, does anyone know a way to force a mouse to use 500/s sample rate?

I'm kinda new to linux, so I really have no idea about anything [06:32] karlNY roo(hd0,2) [06:33] timandtom: it's a command line tool, but i don't remember how to use it [06:33] mib_hoimx7d7, is your ubuntu partition(s) backed up as well, [06:33] astro76: ooooh, thanks :D [06:33] ethan961: no [06:33] voidmage: Ah, k, I'll google it, thanks [06:33] well the live cd is booted [06:33] what did you want me to look at?

If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [06:36] is there a way to speed up extraction of rar-archives? It seems to take ages. And using winrar via wine isn't an option...

[06:37] xopher: besides adding ram, there's a tool called xarchiver [06:37] mib_hoimx7d7-> be specific, /dev/sda13 ?

[06:41] aah, it's just a frontend? [06:41] astro76: Ah, thanks again :D Found what I was looking for in the logs. voidmage: Ok, found it, its "gconf-editor" in terminal, that opens the GUI, then its in /system/networking/wireless/networks [06:42] Hoping I've waited long enough to reask :)... When I VNC to my mythfrontend box while it's at a res of 800x600 it's visually garbled, still responds to keyboard and mouse input, at any other resolution it works 100% fine, I'd like it to be fine at 800x600 though, any takers?

[06:43] amenado: would that work [06:43] with a web browser? [06:44] yes [06:44] ambar: Try going into where you set up how it connects, and start messing with the settings. Try default setup, no proxy, GNOME proxy, etc. [06:44] <--- IS BEGGING... My sound stops working or hangs after playing 1 song or using the "Test" button in the Sounds Preferences. Can anyone help??? [06:44] mib_hoimx7d7-> that would not work, lest you specify to use that **.bak in your menu.lst [06:44] mib_hoimx7d7: does it say unknown block (0.0) ? [06:44] mib_hoimx7d7: at the kernel panic error? [06:44] karlNY yes [06:44] okay.let me try it again.it used to work fine and i didnt change any settings too [06:44] soldats: thanks, but that's a no go [06:45] karlNY or some other num in the () [06:45] amenado: got any ideas on how to fix it? [06:45] karlNY: Completely off topic, but Panic! At the kernel should TOTALLY be a band name. [06:45] soldats: it ends up looking like say when you have the frequency settings too high, but the display attached to the machine looks fine [06:45] mib_hoimx7d7-> are you understanding me? about what you put in menu.lst and where they are located ? [06:46] amenado so put the .bak in the menu.lst file [06:46] ?

[06:52] i have selected No Proxy and tried connecting to yahoo. now the Pidgin is starts and getting closed within seconds! [06:52] any diference between sudo and gksudo? [06:52] mib_hoimx7d7: did you look through your /boot/grub/menu.lst, looking for "root" drive entries? ie- are you sure those entries are correct, be it hd(0,0) or 0,1 or 1,0 etc? [06:52] amenado: it is the entry i just made [06:52] mib_hoimx7d7-> you may have a vmlinuz or initrd image in /boot but if they are the wrong kind unbootable ones, will not work [06:52] !gksu | cvd [06:52] cvd: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [06:52] amenado: how do i know? [06:52] cvd: same thing but gksudo allows gui apps to be run as root [06:53] o ok [06:53] karlNY it is the correct partition hd0,2 [06:53] testing WGGMk [06:53] karlNY: for sda2 [06:53] mib_hoimx7d7: OK thanks. Curious -- how many hard-drives you got in the case? assuming it's only one, right? what kind, scsi/sata/ide/etc? [06:53] mib_hoimx7d7: nvm - got it [06:53] mib_hoimx7d7-> how did those multiple vmlinuz and inritrd.*.img .bak get there? [06:53] hate to be a bother but can someone say my name in chat 1 [06:53] WGGMk: ? [06:53] amenado: i dont know [06:54] soldats: 1 more time plz [06:54] amenado: maybe when i reinstalled grub? [06:54] WGGMk: #ubuntu-offtopic is a good place for further testing [06:54] mib_hoimx7d7-> and thats the key, if you have the wrong kernel in there that is possibly not bootable, you get those panics [06:54] mib_hoimx7d7: I have a similar dual boot setup I think... in that my partition for grub and /boot is /dev/sda2 [06:54] astro76: thnx & thnx soldats [06:55] what proxy should i select in order to get connected to yahoo server with Pidgin?

[07:04] is the live CD of Ubuntu supposed to be ridiculously slow? [07:04] amenado: i see jfs_stage1_5 and reiserfs_stage1_5 [07:04] ubuntu is slow [07:04] kavik, only if u dont have a decent system [07:04] kavik, as far as seek times, yes, because its searching on CD and its roughly 10mb/s wheras hdd is 60mb/s with ALOT faster seek times [07:04] jc, can you tell me the proxy settings that you are using? [07:05] kavik how much ram do you have? [07:05] kavik, eg: less than 256/512 mb ram and a old cpu[under 2 ghz] [07:05] xnu, wrong, ubuntu and any other linux distro is slow if your too stupid to configure your system appropriately and correctly [07:05] you're is the contractive form of you are [07:05] rrtew [07:05] mib_hoimx7d7-> how about e2fs_stage1_5 and stage1 and stage2 [07:05] well... (256MB of RAM) i'm trying to install ubuntu on the harddrive but it's going slower than windows vista with 64MB of RAM.. [07:05] ambar, I'm not using a proxy [07:05] p3 500mhz and 128mb ram [07:05] try the alt text install cd [07:05] bluefox83, reguardless, my dualcore laptop w/ 1gb of ram is slow under live CD's, I should find the parameter to pass complete system to ram :D [07:06] the mouse will be free, but everything else is frozen. [07:06] amenado: all those are there [07:06] kavik, try using the alternate boot cd, I used that, but still likes to hang on certain sections which esc fixed [07:06] i can't [07:06] ambar, have you tried to restart pidgin? [07:07] mib_hoimx7d7: were you going to apt-get install pastebinit and paste us some output? [07:07] i ordered both CD's but one when i got it, was already cracked... [07:07] amenado: i dont think its a problem with grub [07:07] mib_hoimx7d7-> get into grub and point your root to hd0,2 hd0,2 is where your /boot is right? ie hda3? [07:07] kavik, you can download them also [07:07] jc, thanks ! i got connected to MSN !!! :D === FBIGuy is now known as Blacksmith2 [07:07] fragged[away], my main: celeron D@2.93 oced to 3.75ghz[tested stable] and 1.5 gigs of ram[used to be 256, then 768 now 1.5 gig] [07:07] Argh! Zero Punctuation just published his COD4 review and Ubuntu updates have destroyed my Flash. [07:07] but this computer can't burn .iso [07:07] Someone will PAY FOR THIS! [07:07] bluefoxx can i msg u [07:07] hemebond, pay for what === Blacksmith2 is now known as WhiteJones [07:08] flash is useless anyway [07:08] is it possible for a user to be in a group and not be in a group at the same time? http://rafb.net/p/wcYwdo35.html [07:08] For breaking me Flash. [07:08] jc, for yahoo also you are using No Proxy ? [07:08] bluefoxx, I was referring to the fact that live cd's are slow reguardless [07:08] and cod sucks [07:08] ambar, yes [07:08] xnu, yes cod sucks. [07:08] I want to watch the review. [07:08] amenado: in grub via terminal i can type root (hd0, then tab and it shows my ext3 linux and #2 [07:08] fragged[away], my "new"box consists of parts made from discards from school [07:08] fragged[away] so live CD's are slow nonetheless? [07:08] just ubuntu [07:09] lol [07:09] fragged[away] how should i connect the harddrive to install ubuntu on it? i had it on slave.... [07:09] kavik, yes, unless you pass the entire disc to RAM they are relatively slow... like if you leave your system idle, even opening a menu can take 2-3 seconds while CD spins up [07:09] kavik, generaly, depending on your parts, if you have a good cddive, then not so slow, but still slower than a desktop install [07:09] amenado: the actual partitino is sda3 so that makes sense [07:09] mib_hoimx7d7-> go and do it, assuming your /boot/initrd and /boot/vmlinuz are good ones [07:10] bluefoxx should i connect my harddrive that i wish to install ubuntu onto, in slave mode? or master? [07:10] bluefoxx, ALL CD drives are slow... afaik CDs run at ~9mb/s, hard drives run at ~60+mb/s [07:10] jc, i selected No Proxy for yahoo too, it said it was connecting but suddenly after 1 or 2 seconds the program automatically closed! [07:10] amenado: so im rebooting [07:10] mib_hoimx7d7-> good luck [07:10] kavik, i dont notice it as much but thats as i ran off a live cd for 4 months while i saved and scrounged for a new hdd after my 5th WD blew out [07:10] kavik, it shouldnt matter so long as it boots from BIOS, [07:10] in slave if its the slave [07:10] ambar, what port was yahoo using? [07:10] kavik, try cable select [07:10] bluefoxx what's cable select? [07:11] Ok, so I narrowed my problem down to ALSA. OSS seems to work fine, as long as im only using it 1 application of course. But when using ALSA, after 1 thing that requires sound (IE: 1 full song, 1 message on pidgin, 1 error dialog box) it just doesnt work after that. I have also tried opening sound preferences and using the "Test" button, which will work, but after hitting OK on the small dialog box, and trying to Test it again (even the same one) it will NOT wor [07:11] grub will boot from a slave drive [07:11] WGGMk, look at JACK or various other alternatives [07:11] bluefoxx-> my achilles are the ibm deathstarts, i must have six of those busted on me [07:11] jc, Pager Port: 5050 and File Transfer Port: 80 [07:11] well grub will boot anything if you know what you are doing [07:11] kavik, the default setting harddrivees come in, usually the best choice if your not that farmilliar with hardwarez[but its what i specialize in] [07:11] amenado: so it loaded past grub and to the part where its loading hardware [07:11] ambar, ok thats the same as mine [07:12] amenado: and it stopped at Uniform CD-ROM driver revision 3.2 [07:12] bluefoxx ok cool.. think you can help me with a quick windows issue? [07:12] bluefoxx, even if you know what your doing, IDE is a prick.... cable select wont work on some older mobos, LBA, master/slave just sucks, blah blah blah [07:12] fragged[away]: I would prefer to stick with ALSA, seeming as this was NOT an issue with Feisty [07:12] kavik haha windows? [07:12] amenado, hehe, i found a seagate 320 meg hdd that still works[not good for much, my broken mp3 player is better than it but...] [07:12] WGGMk, JACK etc use alsa [07:12] fragged[away], yes, ide sucks, sexy FTW [07:12] how do I find out what version of glibc I have? [07:12] jc, hmmm....whats the Encoding ? [07:12] amenado yeah, my friend prefers windows... [07:13] kavik, try # windows or PM me, i knwo windows but not as well === WhiteJones is now known as FBIguy [07:13] windows rules [07:13] bluefoxx ok [07:13] amenado: any ideas on why the bootup hangs? [07:13] ambar: ISO-8859-1 [07:13] fragged[away], and by "sexy" i mean skuzzy, scsi, w/e u wanna call it [07:13] everyone knows ubuntu runs under windows [07:13] mib_hoimx7d7-> so its stuck there forever? you may have a bad initrd or kernel [07:14] bluefoxx, I prefer sata, so much more hawtness :D [07:14] amenado it gets to loading the hard drive then the cr drive then stops [07:14] mib_hoimx7d7-> maybe remove the cdrom? see if it overcomes it [07:14] jc, same here! Yahoo Japan is unchecked, Page server: scs.msg.yahoo.com, Japan Page Server: cs.yahoo.co.jp [07:15] fragged[away], lol, guy sold me a bad sound card that ate my sata somehow...fried my cabel XD, got a free wifi card off of him though, and it works flawlessly in linux =D [07:15] amenado now it says check root = bootarg cat /proc/cmdline or missing modules. devices cat /proc/modules ls /dev ALERT does not exist dropping to shell [07:15] sorry i found out, its ls -al /lib/libc* [07:15] ambar, yep thats exactly what I've got - and you still can't connect [07:15] mib_hoimx7d7: cat /boot/grub/menu.lst | grep root <----- do the entries just above the /vmlinuz lines say hd(0.2) in that output?

[07:19] mib_hoimx7d7: ok thanks - well I googled and a whole bunch of listings say that it might have /dev/had instead of /dev/sda in menu.lst, or that in /etc/fstab it might say /dev/sdb instead of /dev/sda -- stupid stuff like that. [07:19] jc, using GNOME it doesn't connect at all. using No Proxy/Environmental i've tried connecting in Invisible mode, and it says "connecting" but within 2 seconds or so the program is automatically getting closed! [07:20] lol [07:20] mib_hoimx7d7-> re-install [07:20] mib_hoimx7d7: http://help.lockergnome.com/linux/Installing-Debian-Dell-2950-ftopict284011.html [07:20] proxy smoxy [07:20] ambar, I'm out of ideas hopefully some with a better idea can chime in [07:21] Is there a way to force my mouse's sample rate to use 500? [07:21] jc, thanks a lot, at least the msn is getting connected now! :) [07:21] is there any reason logitech-applet doesnt work? [07:22] I was told that I can install new themes if I go under System>Preferences>Themes, but I don't have a Themes category there. Any suggestions as to what I should do because clicking and dragging into the Appearances window doesn't cut it [07:22] lol [07:22] install [07:23] mib_hoimx7d7: I think it's a botched character error in your grub stuff somewhere. [07:23] What do you propose I install? [07:23] apperance maybe to get themes? [07:23] i don't use gnome [07:23] karlNY i dont think it has to do with grub [07:23] mib_hoimx7d7: I've fixed that error before, but without having your output, seeing it all visually, it's hard to really help [07:23] BetaTest, if you look in the control panel for the main menu you should be able to add Themes to your menu [07:24] mib_hoimx7d7: what you do to the partition table, if backed up is always reversible... [07:24] BetaTest, control center I meant :) [07:24] mib_hoimx7d7: you didn't say you deleted data, earlier - so what else did you do besides delete a partion? [07:24] mib_hoimx7d7: it was working fine before, then you changed one partition in gparted... then it broke? [07:25] So ere4si, what would I be looking for? o.O [07:25] karlNY just deleted a partition and then extended the ubuntu partition to cover it [07:25] lol [07:25] mib_hoimx7d7: that should be reversible if you did not write any data in addition to that [07:26] Okay, I have flashplugin-nonfree installed, but every Flash-based website still says I need Flash 8 or higher.. what gives? [07:26] lol [07:26] flash [07:26] !lol [07:26] 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. [07:26] mib_hoimx7d7: you'd need to first restore the partition table to what it was prior to extending it, ideally.... [07:26] BetaTest, an entry in the control center for "main menu" which will give you options to show on the menu different progs - if you go to prefs the entry for themes should be greyed out - click it to enable it [07:26] omg [07:26] omg [07:27] wtfhax [07:27] thanks ubotu bot master thing [07:27] IRC gave birth to those acronyms. [07:27] its still im [07:27] karlNY i guess i could but would that fix anything? [07:27] wtf? [07:27] !wtf [07:27] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [07:27] mib_hoimx7d7: but if you extended ubutnu over a partition you don't care for, you should be able to just do what you did, reinstall grub, make sure it's pointing to the correct partition and once all is lined up in menu.lst and /etc/fstab, you should be fine [07:27] !omg [07:27] 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.

[07:30] I stopped using Ubuntu since the last time I did, the kernel crashed like a tonne of bricks [07:31] BetaTest, do you have an entry for the control center in your menu? [07:31] ubuntu is vapor ware [07:32] vapor ware? [07:32] here today gone tomorrow [07:32] that's not what vaporware means [07:32] so then what remains? [07:32] karlNY thats been the problem so far [07:32] good morning from gmoney [07:32] lol [07:33] mib_hoimx7d7: grin [07:33] xnu: nah i dont think so [07:33] anyone here to help me with alsa problems?

[07:34] Im on a amd64 venice, with cool'n'quiet enabled, oc'd to 2.64ghz in bios, but 'performance' shows a 2.4ghz maximum [07:34] there release cycle is screwed [07:34] xopher, the info given by linux will always show the stock core speed [07:35] they're [07:35] their [07:35] grammar [07:35] :p [07:35] lol [07:35] lol [07:35] !ot [07:35] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [07:35] I've tried OC'ing, I never get the OC readidng [07:35] oops... i did the lol... [07:35] AlexRox, does this mean it's actually still overclocked when at 100%? [07:35] karNY fstab doesnt say anything about my ubuntu partition [07:35] mib_hoimx7d7: which is your winbows partition again? [07:35] mib_hoimx7d7: sda1? [07:35] karlNY its sda2 [07:35] didn't yo momma teach you about oc'ing [07:35] xopher, it probably is overclocked, but most of the time, Linux fails to show the OC'd core speed. [07:35] AlexRox, is there a way to read the FSB in linux? [07:36] Not to my knowledge. [07:36] my alsamixer doesnt save settings. my soundcard is an emu 0404 where you can adjust the samplerate but the alsamixer and the gnome-mixer dont save what i adjust there each time i reboot the system from a cold state it has lost all settings. where can that reason from? [07:36] There have been some CPUID clones, but none successful enough to reach RC [07:36] AlexRox, right, well when I didn't have cool'n'quiet enabled, freq scaling didn't work, but the cpufreq showed up correctly [07:36] ok [07:36] i found out that logginng out and in to gnome doesnt make me loose the settings its just once i shut down and boot up againn [07:37] google alsamixer?

[07:37] i checked that i have the proper rights for the dev files [07:37] Is there a way to change your keyboard layout? I have two versions added (qwerty and dvorak), but I'm not sure how I can switch between the two. Any suggestions? [07:38] mib_hoimx7d7: s/frep/grep/ [07:38] use sax2 [07:38] Ill just hold on to the illusion that my cpu is faster than it wants to tell me .. ;) [07:38] therefore i had to add a group audio and i added myself plus root to this group [07:38] just get a blank keyboard and set your own key map [07:38] but still no effect [07:38] pocketdrummer, SAX2 [07:39] So guys, is anyone else getting segfaults on npviewer.bin? [07:39] hi [07:39] karlNY says EXT2 FS on sda3, interal journaled [07:39] xnu googling st is contraproductive since you can imaagine i already did so [07:39] wtf is npviewer.bin [07:39] is LPI 199 a objective type exam [07:39] xnu: flashy goodness [07:39] o [07:39] xnu: plugin wrapper [07:39] I mean Ubuntu Certified Professional [07:39] whats flash [07:39] hey can any one help me with installing Panda Desktop Secure For Linux?

[07:40] sorry my bad [07:40] Weird, xIRC crashed. Anyway, I'm not sure if anyone responded... Is there a way to change your keyboard layout from qwerty to dvorak and back whenever I feel the need? [07:40] i don't have shoes [07:40] AlexRox: No. [07:40] No? [07:41] i'm in the african jungle in my tree hut typing on my xio [07:41] AlexRox: Linux is the kernel. GNU/Linux is an operating system. [07:41] pm for explanation ? [07:41] Hi, I installed Ubuntu from Kubuntu and then removed Kubuntu, now I can only login by typing startx. Any idea how to fix this? [07:41] AlexRox, dmidecode | grep External Clock [07:41] install gdm [07:41] and it seems it really is at 220 Mhz, instead of stock 200 [07:41] or qingy [07:41] if your getty [07:41] mib_hoimx7d7: have you recently upgraded releases or kernels? [07:41] pocketdrummer, if you put the keyboard applet in the panel and mess w/ keyboard preferences you can do it - i have [07:42] karlNY yes [07:42] xopher, and that is? [07:42] That's the Front Side Bus, AFAIK [07:42] pocketdrummer, thing is i need to put the letters on the keys so i can actually start learning dvorak [07:42] thats impossible. [07:42] 500mhz here [07:42] My FSB is 533...not 133... [07:42] blazin fast [07:42] mib_hoimx7d7: ok - what was the upgrade to/from? feisty--gutsy, or kernel, etc? details?

[07:46] unubtu [07:46] k [07:46] I dont have problems [07:46] Everyone has their own opinions [07:46] good [07:46] Alex, how many years have you been with Ubuntu?

[07:47] Hey all. Got a problem with Gutsy's usplash. The monitor natively uses 1280x768 (or 1365x768, not sure). I can't find a vga=*** code for that (except someone mentioned vga=797 which doesn't work). The closest I get is 1280x1024 (vga=795) but then the splash is distorted (shifted to downwards and to the right, and squashed vertically). I could use any pointers on that :) [07:47] Suse since 8? [07:47] Fixed my Flash. Solution is in the forums. [07:47] thats good for you [07:47] Wish I was that lucky. [07:47] SuSE since 7 [07:47] Yeah...well I've found one cool thing out... [07:47] i use linux all day at work in a fortune 500 company [07:47] when ever I have a problem in Windows...it keeps fucking me over. [07:47] windows rules [07:47] but in Linux...I think of a solution in less time than it takes me to think of the problem! [07:47] ubotu: language > AlexRox [07:47] Both OS's have their benefits [07:48] there is no contest [07:48] Eh, sorry. [07:48] mib_hoimx7d7: yeah It basically talks about tons of stuff, but the guy got dpkg-reconfigure [new.kernel.installed.xxxxx] to work [07:48] yes .you are right [07:48] Theres no contest [07:48] Anyway [07:48] but in terms of being able to move in a world without walls...

[07:49] And I managed to make my own distro from scratch last year :) [07:49] good for you [07:49] Wow...congrats.

[07:50] niice. [07:50] mib_hoimx7d7: also - the guy in that post had added a repository before installing the kernel... he ended up having to make all the repositories match the same release/level that he wanted to stick with, obviously, he had to satisfy dependencies [07:50] all this windows bashing [07:50] Ha its not windows bashing...

[08:03] pick the one you prefer, half the reason for ubuntu was a regular fixed release [08:03] xnu: generally the update works fine, here you see only those with problems [08:04] ok [08:04] i'm glad i never have problems [08:05] and of course the problems are usually related to proprietrary wireless drivers or proprietary 3d drivers which the community can't do much about [08:05] ok [08:05] i see the point [08:06] so is it an upgrade or a new release [08:07] xnu: you can upgrade from release to release [08:07] like arch or debian [08:07] or you can upgrade from LTS release to LTS release which will be about 3 years apart assuming 8.04 is LTS [08:07] it's mostly debian [08:07] ok [08:08] many packages are unmodified [08:08] so whats modified [08:08] too much to list here and ot [08:09] may anybody help me about my HD Audio??? i habe no sound and no kn0owledge about linux :( [08:09] hi, i'd like to install ubuntu 7.10 on an athlon 900MHz 512MB ram pc. live-cd starts regular, when i choose start and install ubuntu, the loadingscreen appears, after 5-10 sec. a black screen apears and nothing happens. is that pc to old ?

[09:29] Kevin`: afaik DMA cannot be set on SATA drives (hdparm dosen't have the field). However read/write speeds to the single discs are seemingly having good performance on both 2.6.{17,22}. [09:29] I don't want to use the prepend-hosts or whatever thing because I have comments in it. [09:29] Kevin`: when the kernel is upgraded, the raid resync sucks. :) [09:29] mha make 2.6.24 stock and report to lkml [09:29] I'm tyring to find live cd ubuntu. Is this the regular desktop cd? or ..? [09:30] Peng: if you have your heart set on keeping it the way it is: sudo chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf will make it unwritable to ANYTHING (and that includes root) sudo chattr -i /etc/resolv.conf will undo it, make it root writable again [09:30] Kevin`: was my next move unless I got some other tip/feedback yes.

[09:39] someone can help me [09:39] pajamian: no [09:39] Hi All! First sorry my English! I have a 4 * 750 GB hdd = 3 TB and 1 320 GB hdd... I'm installing Ubuntu on 320 GB and I want make other disk 3 TB RAID 5... I have Bios raid5 but I think so Linux not support bios raid yet. I research and fount mdadm command... This command a stabil? have any bug or problem? thansk all... [09:40] mib_hoimx7d7: so it's just under the root partition, then, what filesystem is it? [09:40] pajamian: i just updated my kernel and deleted a partition other than the ubuntu [09:40] pajamian: and that error appeared on boot [09:40] i have a sony notebook, my keyboard is U.S and i had set u.s keyboard with deadkeys.. i tried intl but nothing is working !!! look c~ao ´e ´i i want these symbols ¨ ´ ~ ¨ above letters, what can i do ? :( my xorg is ok [09:40] but I am still debateng about a good Vm app Im bettewn VMWare or Virtualbox [09:41] pajamian ext3 [09:41] virtualbox has seemless integration with windows [09:41] hey I am trying to follow the Ubuntu Guide online about working with SAMBA ....... but I am a bit stumped here....sudo smbpasswd -a system_username [09:41] ikonia, do u know how to configure keyboar ? =\ [09:41] can someone help me ? [09:41] mib_hoimx7d7: ok, I think it means that grub is having problems with the partition that /boot is on. can you boot to a rescue disk/livecd/alternate install cd and mount your root partition from there? [09:41] yes i can [09:42] i was talknig to someone earlier and we narrowed it down to needing to rebuild/reconfigure my initrd [09:42] what about my keyboard please. [09:42] mib_hoimx7d7: ok, so partition table would be good and the root partition is good, that is very good. Yes, it probably is your initrd. [09:42] any ideas? [09:42] the reason VMware im still considering is bacause a lot of the VMs I get from Tux distro come in VMWare format and Virtual Box does not completelly support it atleast no snap shots [09:43] mib_hoimx7d7: or it makes sense that could be it. I can't see why it needs to be rebuilt, though, how did you come to that conclusion? [09:44] =\ [09:44] well i just upgraded my kernel and grub is configured correctly. in addition we were able to get partially through the bootup sequence and it stopped [09:44] mib_hoimx7d7: are you sure grub is configured correctly? can you paste your menu.lst?

[10:26] Le-Chuck_IT2: this aint DBZ (regenerate) you have to use the command for X to set it up manually [10:26] Pirate_Hunter: I have now three or four xorg.conf with different extensions and don't know what the original one is [10:26] pajamian, who r u helping? [10:27] Jay! I got my Ubuntu back.

[10:27] Pirate_Hunter: I am not completely sure [10:28] sure [10:28] yes already [10:28] Le-Chuck_IT2: yea x-config and if you are not sure it means you created those yourself so dont bother [10:28] Pirate_Hunter: because I thought my backup was xorg.conf.1 (generated by the screen settings configuration) but it is not working the same [10:28] taz, have you registered? [10:28] Bodsda: when i boot i get a vfs kernel panic error [10:28] yes [10:28] ok [10:28] j #networking [10:28] mib_hoimx7d7, did you google that?

[10:30] so if none of them works again, it's fault of today's X updates [10:30] I have tried to get vmware player working... but everytime I restart the machine its not working again [10:30] Le-Chuck_IT2: if the link helps try that or reconfigure xorg yourself [10:30] pajamian: i typed update-initrdramfs -k `uname -r` -c and i got the error getopt: not found [10:31] mib_hoimx7d7, whats the rest of the error?

[10:32] mib_hoimx7d7, so your unable to boot, completely? [10:32] Le-Chuck_IT2: that could work would never think of that, nice thinking outside the box *im amused* [10:32] yes [10:32] pajamian, if i knew what chroot'ing was i might be able to answer you,.,.lol [10:32] i already did pajamian [10:33] mib_hoimx7d7, can you boot from the live cd? [10:33] i have big problems with the sun-java6-bin package.. i cant install it, i cant remove it. is there some fancy i thing i can do and just ignore it? [10:33] yes Bodsda [10:33] mib_hoimx7d7, boot into the live cd now [10:33] wow this chan is big :e [10:33] i have [10:34] Bodsda: mib_hoimx7d7 basically the problem is he can't boot, so he needs to boot to a rescue CD or live CD / whatever and then mount the root partition somewhere. chroot will allow that root partition to actually look like it's mounted as root so that any commands he runs from there will affect it with the proper libs, etc. [10:34] qzio, id be more interested in why you can remove it [10:34] and i have mounted and chroot'd to the partition [10:34] pajamian, yes [10:34] ;) [10:34] anybody knows if the ncurses interface of aptitude -s would do any changes? [10:34] mib_hoimx7d7, can you pastebin the output of dmesg please === sniff is now known as sniff` [10:35] pajamian: the flag -u produces the error /usr/sbin/update-initramfs: 502: not found [10:36] mib_hoimx7d7, meaning you dont have the command update-initramfs [10:36] Bodsda: the computer im fixing doesnt have access to the internet im using another computer right now [10:36] Bodsda: hu? shouldn't i be able to remove it? [10:36] qzio, yer i meant cant,.,. worry about why you cant remove it,.

[10:37] qzio, computers dont wine, they give error messages,. posting those wold be a good start [10:37] Photo1, Good day to you too [10:37] hello, i've a kind of problem. I installed ubuntu in a Sony Vaio, it works file but can't browse any website. Ping works even with www address, dns's are set up...i don't know what to try [10:37] why is it that when I try to install VMware player from the Add and Remove Applications app that it tells me that I cannot becasue my computer is not supported? [10:38] anybody knows if the ncurses interface of aptitude -s would do any changes? [10:38] mib_hoimx7d7, this other computer you have, which has the internet,. is it the same distro as the machine your trying to fix? [10:38] anyone? [10:38] m41n1, try dhcp [10:38] Bodsda: no im afraid its not even my computer and hence has vista [10:39] i need help finding a distro that will run on a old laptop (dell pentium 2 160ram ) [10:39] mib_hoimx7d7, oh,,.damn,.,.you need it on the internet realy,,..,.im not sure what else you can try [10:39] bodsa, i've already tried that [10:39] vallhalla81, dapper? [10:39] pajamian: i have to run a web based java client to log in and identify myself. however the live cd doesnt have the client built in and the college i go to restricts web access [10:39] pajamian: so i cant istall it from java.com or packet manager :( [10:39] i will look it up [10:40] Bodsda: http://gottfolk.se/apt-errors.txt [10:40] mib_hoimx7d7: you have mounted and chrooted on your machine though. Any reason why you can't run the client now? [10:40] mib_hoimx7d7, go to the tech-guys,.,. they have full access, tell them you cant do the course without a certain file from a blocked site,.,. sorted! [10:41] pajamian: what do you mean run the client. its web based so i'd have to run the firefox from my partition [10:41] qzio, first do sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [10:41] Bodsda: yupp, done that, the ugprade throws the same errors [10:42] mib_hoimx7d7: try startx, see if you can get into gnome and run FF [10:42] pajamian: no dice :( [10:42] qzio, oh hang on then [10:43] Bodsda: http://gottfolk.se/apt-error-upgrade.txt for the aptitude safe-upgrade [10:43] mib_hoimx7d7: you booted to the live CD, right? you running gnome already? [10:43] yes [10:43] qzio, this is the bits that are broken, ive g2g now, but ask in here if anyone understands this : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55068/ [10:43] mib_hoimx7d7: can you boot to a rescue disk that doesn't run gnome? like the alternate install CD? [10:44] anyone? [10:44] pajamian i have knoppix but would that really work? [10:45] mib_hoimx7d7: ummmm, it might, I don't know. It would help if you're running the correct kernel at least. [10:45] davi1 maybe they dont' support ubuntu [10:45] did you check? [10:45] an update of flashplugin-nonfree just broke my flash player, it doesnt work anymore :O [10:45] sniff:its in the repos... [10:45] the knoppic cd is a old kernel :( [10:46] how hard can it be :( [10:47] mib_hoimx7d7: knoppix boots to a gui anyways, right? you need something that will just boot to a console, no gui. [10:47] yeah [10:48] mib_hoimx7d7: download either the alternate install cd or a rescue cd from somewhere and boot to that, in the console, then see if you can mount, chroot and startx [10:50] Hello All! Quick question, I installed NoMachine NX and its missing libXcomp.so.3 but its inside of /usr/NX/lib. How would I link the lib in the NX folder to /usr/lib or whever they need to go?

[10:56] hello [10:56] i have a tv card. the card is present in harddrake. but the v4l is deleted from /dev. can i reconfigure it again [10:56] hello [10:56] i have a tv card. the card is present in harddrake. but the v4l is deleted from /dev. can i reconfigure it again [10:56] when i do this "zip -r - somefolder/" [10:57] it says that it is an invalid argument [10:57] neko: to zip a folder you don't need the / on the end do you? [10:57] same [10:57] issue [10:58] zip error: Invalid command arguments (cannot write zip file to terminal) [10:58] neko: zip -r [10:58] hello [10:59] okey so no way to output the data in the standard output instead of a file ? [10:59] neko_: why do you want to write it to the terminal? [10:59] tell me any linux command that i can use to know about my card tv card [10:59] neko_: it will write to stdout, but it is refusing to write to the console [10:59] some on the fly generation of zip for some php script [10:59] okey [10:59] so it would work okey with my script [10:59] i have to go to bed. i guess ill try to fix it tomorrow [11:00] neko_: if you really want to write to hte console try: zip -r - foo | cat [11:00] mib_hoimx7d7: goodnight and good luck [11:00] thank you pajamian [11:00] is there a way to skip the staring login ? [11:00] i figured it out [11:00] lollo: yes [11:00] uhuhuh how can i do it ? [11:00] lollo: system - administration - login window [11:00] yeeeee thx [11:01] neko_: yw [11:01] nemilar then security - automatic acces ? [11:02] tell me any linux command that i can use to know about my card tv card [11:02] livenicely: lspci [11:02] hi [11:02] wich you mean with "Adobe Flash has been fixed" of Topic [11:02] ? [11:03] ok i'll try [11:03] mania90: not fixed, unfortunately [11:03] ati x1600 and ubuntu.. anyone fixed that + [11:03] also remiove it of topic pajamian: [11:04] mania90: I can't, only an op can [11:04] livenicely: You want to find out what type of card you have? [11:04] testing [11:05] edw: it works [11:05] !pk | livenicely (you might have an easier time there) [11:05] stion, and a way to skip the password everytime i do spacial operation like installing programs ? [11:05] Sorry, I don't know anything about pk - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [11:05] oh. [11:05] the last question* [11:05] lollo: it's not recommended to do that [11:06] uhm why ? it's for my security ? [11:06] lollo: that password keeps an attacker from gaining root [11:06] lollo: that's there for your own protection [11:06] lollo: The next version of Ubuntu, 8.04, due out April, will let you set options like that.. for now it's required though [11:06] uh ok, it's a sort of my antivirus in ubuntu .. ? [11:06] pajamian: thanks. i wish i could say the same about my wifi [11:07] great ! [11:07] lollo: it is possible by modifying /etc/sudoers, but I really don't recommend it. [11:07] lollo: It prevents a program from modifying your system without your permission [11:07] no i'll not do it !!!! you've the password to insert too ? [11:08] or u disabled that ? [11:08] yeah, I think almost everyone here leaves it enabled, lollo [11:08] lollo: I don't know what you mean by: you've the password to insert too ? [11:08] Am I the only person who can't access ubuntu.com ? [11:08] my tv card is present in hardware list but first tvtime was ok now i have checked my /dev. there is not any v4l folder. i dont know how it removed [11:08] Jadd76: works for me [11:09] Jadd76 guess so, i can [11:09] There is a particular application from a wine installation which I would like to remove. I've tried everything from typing 'uninstaller' in a terminal, to running uninstall programs directly via wine but with no success. How can I remove it? [11:09] paj i meant .. uhm .. you've to write your password when u do special stuffs .. [11:09] Roy: run the program's uninstaller from within wine [11:09] Hello All! Quick question, I installed NoMachine NX and its missing libXcomp.so.3 but its inside of /usr/NX/lib. I linked libXcomp.so.3 to /usr/lib but when i ldd nxssh i still get libXcomp.so.3 not found anybody know how to fix this? [11:09] however, this is a sort of antivirus ... right ? [11:09] lollo: I have my password memorized, but it's not a bad thing to have to write it down. [11:09] Strange, I can't even ping it [11:10] Anyone here know how to use XMing? [11:10] nemilar: I tried that but it didn't work. [11:10] however, this is a sort of antivirus ... right ? --- the only antivirus - firewall in ubuntu [11:10] lollo: it's one measure that can help to keep a virus from gaining control of your computer. [11:11] lollo: it is not anti-virus, though. [11:11] Roy: what happened when you tried it? [11:11] ok, and ... there are other misures to keep me safe from viruses ? [11:11] brinkergurl17: did you run "ldconfig" after you symlinked the files? [11:12] like an integrated firewall or similar ... [11:12] nemilar: I saw a graphical interface much to the like of Windows and I was prompted to remove it. After closing the graphical interface, I saw that the application is still there. [11:12] hi to all why this error is comint after reboot ..:i am getting error in restarting xorg as I810(0): Monitor 2 cannot be specified on single pipe devices [11:12] brinkergurl17: you can try this command: sudo ln -s /usr/NX/lib/* /usr/lib/ [11:12] some body gave me a link to fix the flash player update problem , i lost it, could some one give it again [11:12] !flash | Paki_m_bored_in_ [11:12] Paki_m_bored_in_: 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 [11:12] thanx [11:12] np [11:13] deluge is a sweet torrent downloader [11:13] yes, yes it is asdrubal [11:13] It's my new favorite. Used to be ktorrent [11:13] HOWEVER , thx very much you're my angels YEEEE !!!!!! [11:13] azureus is just too bloated [11:13] ktorrent doesn't support random ports [11:13] asdrubal: in the next version of Ubuntu, Transmission will be the default torrent program.. if you haven't looked at it, you might want to check it out [11:14] ln: creating symbolic link `/usr/lib/libz.so.1' to `/usr/NX/lib/libz.so.1': File exists got this on all of them [11:14] transmission has very few features, nemilar [11:14] so I don't like it [11:14] Roy: I usually maintain a seperate .wine directory for each windoze app I install that way removal is as easy as removing the .wine directory and works for the most stubborn apps. [11:14] asdrubal: yes, I know... I don't love it, for the same reason [11:14] nemilar, forced encryption, random ports, blocklists [11:14] brinkergurl17: did you run ldconfig ? [11:14] that are things I want in a torrent client [11:14] hello ubuntu people [11:15] thanks nemilar reading about it now [11:15] asdrubal: Deluge can get very CPU-heavy on large torrents when they go very fast [11:15] nemilar, interesting. [11:15] pajamian: That's a great idea, I'll try it next time. But what do I do to remove that stubborn application now? [11:15] brinkergurl17: after you add a library by hand, you have to run ldconfig to let the system know about it, is all [11:15] oh [11:16] lollo: the best measure to avoid viruses is to keep your system up to date, just run the updates when prompted. There are also anti-virus programs for Linux (such as clamav) but I haven't ever had need for one. [11:16] brinkergurl17: you can also add additional directories (if you wanted to add /usr/NX/lib instead of creating symlinks, for example) to search for libraries in /etc/ld.so.conf [11:16] Roy: you may be stuck with just re-installing all your other windows apps into seperate .wine directories and deleting this one. [11:16] oh cool [11:16] pajamian: most of the AV programs for Linux ( don't know about the one you mentioned ) just detect Windows viruses, so you don't spread them unknowingly to others [11:17] nemilar: true. [11:17] i'm having some trouble installing ubuntu [11:17] thats probably easier in the future then right? [11:17] I really have yet to hear of a linux virus. [11:17] brinkergurl17: yeah probably [11:17] <_dml> Milamber: whatsup? [11:17] pajamian: there have been some proof-of-concept viruses, but there are no known viruses for linux in the wild [11:17] pajamian: separate .wine directory as in not within the program files? [11:17] my machine reboots before it gets to the graphical interface [11:18] I need to change language on my OzOS (e17) setup, how do I run "Language Selector" by command, which command is it to open up that program? [11:18] Roy: the program files are under .wine/drive_c [11:18] I've just installed evolution-data-server-dbg. Where does it put the debug libraries? [11:18] <_dml> Milamber: have you tried booting into recovery ( single user ) mode ? [11:18] Roy: I'll explain... [11:18] Sure, thank you :) [11:18] _dml: its not installed yet [11:18] d'oh...just found it [11:19] Roy: I usually do something like this when installing a wine app... [11:19] <_dml> Milamber: oh . bugger ... [11:19] <_dml> the installer is rebooting ? [11:19] Roy: mkdir ~/fooapp [11:19] i boot from the CD, select "Start or install Ubuntu" and moments later my machine reboots [11:19] <_dml> before it gets to graphical ? [11:19] yeah [11:19] Roy: WINEPREFIX=~/fooapp/wine wineprefixcreate [11:19] <_dml> um that sucks [11:19] haha _dml [11:19] hello [11:20] <_dml> Milamber : what kinda hardware is it ? [11:20] Roy: WINEPREFIX=~/fooapp/wine wine fooinstall.exe [11:20] sup student_ [11:20] <_dml> ie especially new or old ? [11:20] very new [11:20] <_dml> hmm [11:20] got it this week [11:20] <_dml> maybe its *too* new ... [11:20] <_dml> ;) [11:20] :) [11:20] <_dml> have you tried another flavour of linux ? [11:20] Roy: then after the install I would run with: WINEPREFIX=~/fooapp/wine wine 'C:\Program Files\foo\foo.exe' [11:21] <_dml> or, is there a non-X install mode? [11:21] Oh! [11:21] Milamber: is this trying to install ubuntu that it just reboots?? [11:21] vmware is just not workin under Ubuntu 7.10 [11:21] i haven't tried that yet [11:21] Roy: then if I want to remove it, I just remove the ~/fooapp directory [11:21] <_dml> it's prolly barfing on autodetecting your hardware for X [11:21] yes Aquahallic [11:21] Roy: rm -rf ~/fooapp [11:21] could be [11:21] Hmmm [11:21] i'm using SLI [11:21] hi i am facing error (EE) I810(0): Monitor 2 cannot be specified on single pipe devices [11:21] <_dml> so if you can install it text-only [11:21] <_dml> then later get X working at your leisure ..

[11:23] mahi: ? [11:23] <_dml> well the interesting bits [11:23] might have a brand new sata controller or something that the installer can't detect [11:23] mahi: pastebin your xorg.conf file [11:23] nemilar: [11:23] in my /proc/acpi/GFX0/DD02/brightness i have 2 lines.

[11:33] <_dml> frost0: its usually a bad idea to have less than 10-20 % free space because fragmentation increases nonlinearly as free space decreases [11:33] <_dml> but all it will do is frag up a touch [11:33] hi again [11:33] <_dml> the shit only really hits the fan if you run out ;) [11:33] another little zip question [11:34] !ohmy | _dml [11:34] _dml: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

[11:45] _dml, according to sauerbraten.org [11:45] _dml, okay the package that is giving me trouble is gnome-rdp... [11:45] _dml, how do i purge and reinstall that? [11:45] hi [11:46] hi [11:46] <_dml> frost0: aptitude purge gnome-rdp; aptitude install gnome-rdp [11:46] _dml, will this give me a menu item? [11:46] _dml, if i don't use add/remove? [11:46] <_dml> frost0: i think so [11:47] <_dml> frost0: the gnome add/remove is just a gtk front end for aptitude / synaptic / apt / dpkg [11:47] <_dml> saerkraut looks nice [11:47] _dml, its saying permission denied..

[11:56] _dml, its removing...w00t [11:56] _dml, sorry easily excited at this early hour :) [11:56] anyone knows what makes firefox stop working after 10-15 minutes ? [11:56] moad: Maybe you have some extensions that are messing things up? [11:56] <_dml> frost0: also try running aptitude with just: sudo aptitude [11:57] <_dml> gives you the nice curses interface [11:57] <_dml> better than that gnome thing ;) [11:58] would anyone know why that when i type into xchat here, my computer makes a beeping noise with every letter i type.. [11:58] Haha, that would be so annoying. [11:58] it is [11:58] I would actually enjoy it if it would make a typing sound that sounded like an old type writer. [11:58] brinkergurl17:what i have to do so that i dont require to do dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg? [11:58] this is just a beeping noise, sucks [11:58] I have wanted to do that but I can't find anything that will. [11:59] i cant find on jabber.org where i can setup an account [11:59] Does it do it with just XChat? [11:59] I believe pidgin has an option to make any sound you want when you type [11:59] Really? OMG I gotta check this out brb. [11:59] you'd have to find the file for 'old typewriter' though [12:00] mahi i donno thats beyond me [12:00] hi! i was trying to get video to work in firefox, and did sudo apt-get install mozilla-mplayer, and it installed, but when i open firefox, it still says i need a plugin, any help welcome, thanks!

[12:01] Yeah, I can't remember where though [12:01] hi [12:01] xcucumber: when you clicked to install the plugin what plugin did it say you needed? [12:01] it's called keystrokes [12:01] or something like that [12:02] * wuya slaps pawan around a bit with a large trout [12:02] hehe [12:02] _dml, potty break? [12:02] pawan hi, [12:02] <_dml> nod [12:02] lemme check [12:02] left-click menu entries in network-manager dissapear right after fresh ubuntu install, do you know how to return them back? [12:02] Yeah under sound events it is not listed. Why would they remove such an awesome feature. [12:02] _dml, same error [12:02] _dml, sadness [12:02] why [12:03] It may not have ever been in pidgin, ive used a lot of chat programs in the last little bit [12:03] <_dml> frost0: try: sudo cat /etc/shadow [12:03] Are there drivers for Realtek HD Audio soundcard, integrated on Asus p5k? :o [12:03] <_dml> frost0: you see some shit on the screen or what? [12:03] why slapping [12:03] For Ubunutu ofc. [12:03] _dml, lots o poo. [12:03] it says need to install plugin, i click button to install, it says "no suitable plugins were found, unknown plugin application/x-mplayer2 [12:03] <_dml> frost0: error with aptitude or the package ? [12:03] i am unable to recieve notifications on buddy login on pidgin > why? [12:03] haiii [12:04] hello, all. why the ubuntu didn't install full manual ? how can I get it ? [12:04] _dml, uh pastebin? [12:04] <_dml> mm [12:04] xcucumber: installing mozilla-mplayer should have done it. did you restart FF? [12:04] ya i closed windows and reopened [12:04] user11_011 have you checked all the prefernces options? [12:04] _dml, almost done pastebinning...btw...what is this? [12:05] could it be that i installed firefox on the desktop [12:05] how much commercial support cost and what it is include... like do they send patches? [12:05] xcucumber: what do you mean? [12:05] I would kill for a way to make a cool sound for keystrokes. [12:05] i'm using dapper and i had an old firefox 1.5, so i ended up downloading 2.0.11 and installed it on the desktop [12:05] <_dml> frost0: just checking if sudo was working ;) thats the system shadow password file [12:05] mmm stupid, patches should be available in repository [12:05] LukeLC: yes(but it has only sound options) , enabled even notification plugins and enabled notification area also. [12:06] <_dml> which you couldnt read unless you had root access [12:06] _dml, so i can't send you this... [12:06] _dml, right? [12:06] <_dml> well you can, but i dont really want it and its not gonna help you [12:06] <_dml> send me your application error ;) [12:06] xcucumber: yeah, that's probably it, the plugin you installed went into a different directory. You can try copying the plugin file from /usr/lib/firefox/plugins to the local plugins directory. [12:07] _dml, application error?...i'm really sorry...it's sooo early [12:07] oh [12:07] oh [12:07] ok thank you! [12:07] _dml, the gnome-rdp error! [12:07] fuck....

[12:09] <_dml> frost0: then try running it again [12:10] <_dml> frost0: most apps use "dotfiles" in your home dir to store prefs and data [12:10] <_dml> ls -a ~/ will show them [12:10] _dml, fixed! [12:10] <_dml> cool [12:10] hi [12:10] how do i configure firefox to use mplayer to play embedded movies instead of totem? [12:10] _dml, thank you very very much [12:10] <_dml> np [12:11] <_dml> frost0: now i'm gonna play saerkraut [12:11] how do i onetime boot to cli? [12:11] ello [12:11] marshall: install the mplayer-plugin package and remove the corresponding totem one (forget the exact names of the packages, but can look them up in a min) [12:11] <_dml> marshall: mozilla-mplayer ? [12:11] _dml, sauerbraten? :) [12:11] <_dml> yeah thats it ;) [12:11] _dml, it means something like sausage.... [12:11] idk [12:12] any swedishes here? [12:12] marshall: yes, install mozilla-mplayer and remove totem-mozilla [12:12] how do i onetime boot to cli? [12:13] !nl [12:13] Nederlandstalige ondersteuning voor Ubuntu (en vers gezette koffie) is te vinden in #ubuntu-nl [12:13] marshall: ...from synaptic [12:13] pajamian: thanks [12:13] _dml: ok, thanks [12:14] come on, it must be easy as pie, everyone needs to know how to do it [12:16] _dml, once again thx [12:16] Hmm, I don't know, it may be me. But KDE is very unreliable, and it 'feels' like windows, in a bad way. [12:16] is it possible to dist-upgrade from dapper straight to gutsy? [12:17] ciauZ a tutti [12:17] _dml, any experience with nomachine? [12:17] I wouldn't recommend that, but yes its possible. [12:17] the only distro cds I have are kubuntu dapper, and some gentoo disk. and I'm not giving a windows guy gentoo. [12:17] im having problems with ubuntu hardy, [12:17] Hi again! :) [12:17] how do i fix error:15 [12:17] join #ubuntu+1 [12:17] not found [12:17] for hardy [12:18] jufjurieuih: how mch trouble do you think it would cause? [12:18] What do you guys recommend for avoiding Codec trouble for videos? [12:18] vlc maybe? [12:18] is there an ubuntu NAS project? [12:18] hey, is there any way to install GRUB from the Alternate disc? [12:18] It may work perfectly, I just personally have encountered issues with large dist upgrades like that. [12:18] jack_spratt: not sure, possibly by passing a kernel argument for the run level? [12:18] dist upgrades have issues period [12:18] Anyone with a bit of experience with Multisync here? [12:19] lol, exactly. [12:19] Why not just download gutsy? [12:19] pajamian: apparantly debian based distros dont use runlevel args, but thanks [12:19] and lol @ gentoo for a windows guy. [12:20] I always have a problem uploading the last song of this music CD with Sound Juicer. There's a lot of undesirable noise. Is this the CD's fault, or the computer's? [12:20] Photo1: I've found different players work better in different circumstances and on different hardware, just find the one that works best for you. If you want to be able to play any codec then get the w32codecs package from medibuntu. [12:20] Or should I let Totem download codecs? Isn't that bad etc? :P [12:20] Well, codec packs cause no havoc on Linux? [12:21] They can mess up XP pretty good ;) [12:21] lol My codecs work fine. I have w32codecs installed. [12:21] Photo1: ...and the gstreamer0.10-pitfdll package so that totem can see the w32 codecs [12:22] Anyone know if installing GRUB from the alternate disc is possible, people? [12:22] Just GRUB, in case the MBR gets written over.\ [12:22] DJAdmiral: it should be, though I've never tried it. [12:22] DJAdmiral: I have no idea.. there is a grub boot cd though.. and you can install grub from the live cd [12:23] grub-install should work from the alternate install disk afaik [12:23] i am getting lazy in my old age, is there a webui to configure the server? [12:24] hey, how I can get the running programs to show when i use ctrl+alt+delete? [12:24] jack_spratt: oh well, I remembered something about run levels from my old red hat days, haven't tried it since I switched to ubuntu, haven't had any need to boot to cli. [12:25] wow flash has been fixed and parallels (the virtualization solution) is in the repos now [12:25] jufjurieuih: I have exactly one blank cd-r left, and this internet connection is kinda crappy... so... I dunno. I'm reluctant to use up my last cd. assuming my cd drive still works [12:25] hey [12:25] bazhang: I wish flash were fixed [12:26] Chani damn, thats rough lol. [12:26] jufjurieuih: btw, my mum's computer is actually running gentoo :) has been for years now. poor thhing hasn't been upgraded at all in at least a year [12:26] pajamian: the latest update has it ;] [12:26] i'm new to xubuntu. i cant get sound to work. any ideas? [12:26] pajamian is it not? [12:26] bazhang: yes I got the update and it broke flash for me, I had to dl and install it direct from adobe [12:26] pajamian: see /topic [12:27] hi ! i wasnt able to get media player to work in firefox, even though the plugins in /usr/lib/firefox/plugins included a bunch of mplayerplug-in-wmp.so , mplayerplug-in-wmp.xpt, and others and opened firefox from the usr/lib/firefox folder... any help welcome! thanks :-) [12:28] xcucumber: What do you mean wont work? firefox askes you to install missing plugins? [12:28] ]ya [12:28] why does eth0 always come up when i reboot? i ran grep -r eth0 /etc/ and changed averything to eth1. when i run .../networking restart eth0 does not come up but as soon as i reboot it's back and then smb machines is invisible. any ideas? [12:28] You probably do't have the one needed then [12:28] and then it says it cant find suitable plugins [12:28] xcucumber: you need to copy those plugins to your local firefox folder since you have installed ff yourself and it doesn't use the /usr/lib/plugins folder. [12:29] anyone here play frets on fire [12:29] hi [12:29] To avoid being Mr. Spam I'll change the wording a bit but still ask the same question: Does anyone know a thing or two about Multisync, and using it between Evolution and an E series Nokia phone via bluetooth? :) === jaggy is now known as jaggyy [12:29] I do! [12:29] xcucumber: copy them to ~/.mozilla/plugins [12:29] I play frets [12:29] oh ok i'll try that now thanks [12:30] DJAdmiral, i notice i have to download this package that contains songs for FoF [12:30] DJAdmiral, are these songs legal? [12:30] Yeah [12:30] DJAdmiral,like non-copyrighted material..or permission is given? [12:30] where is the volume control and mute option please? [12:30] Those songs were licensed out to Frets. [12:30] or they're Creative Commons [12:30] not sure [12:30] DJAdmiral, but not illegal? [12:31] Nope, not illegal. [12:31] MissPenguin: double click on the little speaker icon in the panel [12:31] DJAdmiral, is the package fretsonfire-songs-sectoid? [12:31] in the settings manager? [12:32] DJAdmiral, is that the package fretsonfire-songs-sectoid? [12:32] i added a -r to make it copy , is that ok? "cp plugins -r ~/.mozilla/plugins" ? [12:32] it will right on the panel, I think in the upper right corner by default (not sure, though since I moved mine ages ago) [12:32] mannyz: I believe you want top in the terminal === lbe_ is now known as lbe [12:32] mmk [12:33] Yes [12:33] xcucumber: just copy the mplayer* ones [12:33] mannyz: you can install htop as well, which is a more powerful version [12:33] oh ok hmmm [12:34] xcucumber: cp /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/mplayer* ~/.mozilla/plugins/ [12:34] bazhang, what it does? [12:34] pajamian- i cant find a speaker icon and i havent removed one [12:34] nice thanks! im a newb at shell [12:34] mannyz: same as top, just more powerful [12:34] DJAdmiral, uh....you gotten GH2 Controller To Work [12:34] ? [12:35] DJAdmiral, I Can Get Buttons To Work...but, no strum : [12:35] :( [12:35] MissPenguin: I'm not sure what to say, it's on every ubuntu install I've seen/done [12:36] don't have the controller on me [12:36] but I gtg now === ce_baek is now known as X4Nd3r [12:36] where i get this htop? [12:36] sudo apt-get install htop? [12:36] hi [12:36] mannyz: yes [12:36] can you tell me exactly where to look? i can get the sound mixer to come up by no volume control. i wonder if its set to mute [12:36] !hi | pawan [12:36] pawan: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [12:37] MissPenguin: one min [12:38] thanks for the help with the media player! it works now... i guess i didnt understand that the plugins were supposed to be in ~/.mozilla/plugins/ ... is this like a home folder ?? [12:38] xcucumber: it's because of your weird ff setup. [12:38] lol [12:39] xcucumber: your copy of ff doesn't see the normal plugins folder [12:39] oh [12:39] i can get to applications> settings> settings manager> sound> device. but hear no sound yet [12:39] bazhang, i got it open now.. but i dont find the pingus game :S.. its stuck and dosnt close :S [12:39] why is that? [12:39] anyone else play frets on fire? [12:39] xcucumber: because it is not the ff that comes with ubuntu [12:40] oh [12:40] frost0- no, i dont even know what it is [12:40] MissPenguin: open a terminal and type: gnome-volume-control [12:40] MissPenguin: that's another way to bring it up [12:41] okay ....better question...anyone use joystick/controller on ubuntu? [12:41] any software to plya flv files [12:41] play [12:41] why does it have a period in front of mozilla? [12:41] frost0: I have used a logitech gamepad if that might help you [12:41] ~/.mozilla/plugins [12:41] frost0: no, not yet, but I could give my XBox 360 Controller a go :) [12:41] Slart, heres my problem... [12:41] xcucumber: most local settings folders do, the . marks the file or folder as hidden [12:41] xcucumber: files starting with a dot is hidden [12:41] i have the game pinugs open :D and i cant close it. suggestions? [12:42] mannyz, xkill, then click on the window :) [12:42] oh ok no wonder you cant see it under home folder [12:42] thats a little hardkore to kill somthing.. but it works. [12:42] :) === ce_baek is now known as X4Nd3R [12:42] Slart,Photo1, here is my issue....i have all of the keys coming up.....with my calibrator....but in FAF i can only define buttons...and according to the calibrator my strum bar is not a button but a joystick of sorts...it moves up and down the axis....how would i make that become a button? [12:42] Hey Dr_willis :) [12:42] xcucumber: many of the configurations folders residing in your home folder is hidden by default.. ie starts with a dot.. I guess it keeps the home folder from getting to messy [12:42] xcucumber: if you change the setting to view hidden files you will see it. [12:43] oh how do you do that? [12:43] frost0: You can use it fine in "other OSes"? [12:43] that was fun. i clicked on terminal and was no longer here. :) please re-post that command [12:43] * Dr_willis_ thinks the home folder is still getting too messy :) i must have 200 . files for different programs. [12:43] hehe [12:43] MissPenguin, you mean xkill ? hard to rember eh? [12:43] frost0: oh.. I never had those kinds of problems.. I have no idea.. perhaps there is some kind of filter you can configure.. have you searched for joystick in synaptic? [12:43] Photo1, it shows up in ubuntu...and the controller works on ps2...haven't tried on other os's... === Amaranth_ is now known as Amaranth [12:44] xcucumber: view menu, show hidden files [12:44] no, gnome-volume-control [12:44] Slart, i guess i would like to change the strum bar to show up as a button :( [12:44] It might be that the buttons are really axes [12:44] heh, I'll repost the command as soon as she comes back [12:44] any software to plya flv files [12:44] Which means Ubuntu is right, and PS2 just reads the axes as buttons [12:45] odd they're still hidden , i just have 1 file in the home folder: comp [12:45] pawan: vlc [12:45] MissPenguin: that's another way to bring it up [12:45] how to install [12:45] For example, my left and right rudder controls are z axis + and -, but most games let me use them as fire buttons [12:45] MissPenguin: open a terminal and type: gnome-volume-control [12:45] pawan: mine plays automagically.. in totem I Think [12:45] good grief. lol. im trying:) [12:46] MissPenguin: you asked me to repost the command so I did when you came back [12:46] Slart, figured out what i need. [12:46] frost0: oh? what was it? [12:46] Slart, Joy2Key is what it is called for windows.. [12:46] pajamin: i see it. thank you:) [12:46] pawan: sudo apt-get install vlc [12:46] does anyone help me to setup a direct smtp server ? [12:46] Slart, maps joy buttons to keyboard keys and then you can map the keys .... [12:46] ok [12:46] Slart, hope it has a port for *nix [12:46] hi [12:47] frost0: is it available for linux?

[12:51] Slart, k [12:51] hi, i just got a recomended flash plugin update and i know flash was busted last week. is todays flash update safe to get? [12:51] Slart, now what... [12:51] hmm [12:52] frost0: press enter? [12:52] I have flashflugin-nonfree installed [12:52] ThreeFingerPete: Yes, its fixed. [12:52] Excentrik, its possible its some od framebuffer issue. could disable that. I dont even know how to set/change console colors. [12:52] BUT facebook complains that I need to upgrade my flash [12:52] ThreeFingerPete: see /topic [12:52] user11_011: apt-get install pidgin-guifications [12:52] Pici: thanks [12:52] ThreeFingerPete: it killed my, previously working, flash installation [12:52] pajamian: cool. lemme try [12:52] is there anything i need to think about or do before i change my graphics card? [12:52] so it may be a good idea to remove your prev. flash install :) [12:53] You may need to uninstall/reinstall flash if you used the 3rd party flash workaround. [12:53] user11_011: then enable guifications under the tools / plugins menu [12:53] Slart: really? hmm. now i get a mixed message [12:53] aladdinsane, going from an ati to a nvidia card? or what exactly? [12:53] ThreeFingerPete: I'm not saying it won't work for you.. it didn't for me [12:53] Dr_willis_, maybe. Let's google a bit more :P [12:53] Slart, okay it says -dev is to specify a target...my target is /dev/input/js0....so what do i do now? [12:53] Pici: not sure. I've had flash installed for months now [12:53] pajamian: there is already a buddy notification [plugin . is it dead? [12:53] Dr_willis_: yes thats exactly what im doing [12:53] Slart, to apply that? [12:54] user11_011: you mean buddy state notification? that's different [12:54] frost0: "joy2key -dev /dev/input/js0" perhaps.. [12:54] pajamian: what is that for? [12:54] Slart, it yells at me "MUST SPECIFY A TARGET!" [12:54] user11_011: read the description. [12:54] Slart, i don't like when it yells at me :( [12:55] Slart: what the heck. i'll try and i'll win [12:55] aladdinsane, You proberly want to check out the !nvida wiki pages. to be safest i guess you could setup the xorg.conf to use the vesa driver befor swapping cards. Or after swaping cards. Manually edit the file from the console and set up the nv driver.. Or ask what the proper command is to reconfigure Xorg. (i never can rember it) [12:55] user11_011: click the little arrow at the bottom that says details [12:55] frost0: sccchhh.. it's alright.. think of your happy place.. with puppies or whatever.. let me check the manual [12:55] pajamian: it does configure to issue notifications when someone signs on/off [12:55] ThreeFingerPete: hehe.. let me know how it went [12:55] Slart, yes...puppies and guitar hero.. :) [12:55] Dr_willis_: run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" [12:56] Can someone tell me a good tool for SQL database management [12:56] there ya go aladdinsane Dr_willis_: run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" [12:56] aladdinsane, be sure to jot that down. :) [12:56] I am trying to run this command: "syncml-obex-client -b 00:17:E4:EC:06:CD 14 --dumpinfo --slow-sync text/x-vcard Contacts --wbxml --identifier "PC Suite"" but when the phone says it has sent 300 of 543 contacts it just stops and has to be restarted. (The phone in question is a Nokia E65 btw). Anyone got any tips? [12:56] Dr_willis_: ok, thanx i'll look into that [12:57] hi [12:57] user11_011: buddy state notifications tells you in the _conversation_window_ when a buddy signs on or off. guifications tells you via a little popup tooltip type window in the bottom right corner of your screen. guifications is what I think you want. [12:57] rockzman: mysql-admin [12:57] Slart: It worked for me [12:57] Frogzoo, I need a GUI tool for MS-SQL [12:57] not mysql [12:57] rockzman: funny channel to ask [12:57] ThreeFingerPete: aww.. now I feel singled out.. I'm going to try reinstalling it [12:58] Slart, is it bad? :( [12:58] rockzman: ms-sql tool for Linux? [12:58] Frogzoo, this is a linux channel which is a OS that includes a lot of kind of programs, do i must use mysql just because i am using linux [12:58] Pici, something to manage and export data from my ms-sql [12:58] does ubuntu 7.10 have an firewall? [12:58] frost0: you have to specify which window to send these events to.. it gets tricky [12:58] thatz all lol [12:58] !firewall | Sergo21 [12:58] Sergo21: 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). [12:59] Slart, you can do it.. [12:59] Slart, :) [12:59] Slart: Fingers are crossed for ya [12:59] frost0: ok... lets try this.. open a terminal.. run xwininfo [12:59] rockzman: try rdesktop and log into the server that is hosting the ms-sql db and use the tools on that server. [12:59] pajamian, brilliant idea [12:59] Slart, got the info. [12:59] Slart, pastebin [12:59] ? [12:59] thank you [12:59] lol [12:59] noobish channel [13:00] pajamian: oh god. enabling guifications sent all my account to all other's to make friend [13:00] frost0: the click the window you want to send these keyboard events too [13:00] user11_011: huh? [13:00] pajamian: oh god. enabling guifications sent all my account to all other's to make buddy [13:00] Slart, hold on.

[13:01] hello, i want to connect to X with ssh, any ideas, tutorials ? i already configured ssh for X11 forwarding and i marked this option in a putty terminal to connect from win$ [13:01] frost0: you should get about 10 lines or so with info.. in the top is a line that reads something like this xwininfo: Window id: 0x4200003 "0| Ubuntu Server: #ubuntu" [13:01] Slart, people in forums i'm reading are saying try a different program that happens to have a .deb installer. [13:01] i have it but it is missing dependencies. [13:01] koko___, ssh -x [13:01] Slart, looks like this one has gui too. [13:01] user11_011: I don't know what you mean, it only notifies you of what your buddies do, I've never had it "send" anything to a buddy. [13:01] hello, how to the system logs, recently the system has frozen and didn't respond (was needed to do restart) [13:01] koko___, I mean, ssh -X [13:01] frost0: ah.. sounds easier... what is the program called?

[13:04] xcucumber: right [13:04] xcucumber: thats correct [13:04] oh thanks :-) [13:04] Slart, i'm sorry if i'm asking too much but, what would i type in the terminal...i've done it before...but i don't remember the syntax :( [13:05] hi [13:05] frost0: apt-get install qt-x11-free [13:05] frost0: no worries.. if I wanted to avoid people asking me questions I wouldn't be hanging out here, now would I =) === drecksaukind is now known as arnold [13:06] frost0: it's "sudo apt-get install libqt3-mt", sudo because you need to be root to install stuff.. apt-get is the program.. install tells it to .. install =).. and then the package name libqt3-mt === bro_s is now known as melin [13:06] i found the volume control. added it to lower right hand corner. still no sound. no, when i try and use terminal i get a black screen with smeared color for a few seconds then i have to sign in again [13:07] frost0: you can install stuff using synaptic too.. it has a gui, less typing more clicking [13:07] Slart, it says i have that file... [13:07] frost0: you can also type sudo aptitude install name [13:07] MissPenguin: make sure that none of the controls have a red X over the speaker icon at the bottom, if they do, click on the X to un-mute, also make sure all the sliders are up. [13:07] frost0: what about pajamian's suggestion? [13:08] Slart, nothing [13:09] frost0: are you trying to build something from source? you might need a -dev package as well. [13:09] pajamian, its a .deb [13:09] ok. no red x's. sliders are up to 86% [13:10] MissPenguin: then chances are it's not a problem with muted sound. [13:10] frost0: hmm..if you double click the deb-file.. what does it say? [13:10] that error [13:10] Slart, [13:10] is there some policykit package for gutsy? [13:11] The flashplugin-nonfree is broken again [13:11] frost0: could you copy it verbatim for me? [13:11] pajamian: the error is if u have a group other than "Buddies" then all those ids will be copied to buddies and all ur previous add buddy requests will again be sent . [13:11] pajamian: with those email ids [13:11] hello everybody [13:11] Brakkvatn: How is it broken? [13:11] user11_011: that certainly didn't happen to me when I added the guifications plugin.

[13:13] pajamian: i have two google id's [13:13] Slart, is that another way it would work? === bro_s is now known as melin [13:13] Brakkvatn: try removing the old one.. that did it for me [13:13] user11_011: ok, I have a google talk account that I use pidgin for, I've never had a problem with it. [13:14] user11_011: I don't think this particular problem is because of the guifications. [13:14] pajamian: i have two google id's and all buddies of both gave away authorize requests for adding buddy of the other id. [13:14] frost0: there is always a way.. but some ways take more time than others. =) [13:14] Slart, idea!what if i download alien....and then get the .rpm and then make it into a .deb? [13:15] pajamian: i have made two buddy groups one named "Buddies" another with "xyz" [13:15] Slart, possible? [13:15] user11_011: but unfortunately I can't help anymore, I have to head off (wife is calling me to bed) and I really don't know what the problem is anyways, try the IRC channel for pidgin, you may get better help there, I would guess #pidgin, probably. [13:15] frost0: ouch.. [13:15] !rpm [13:15] RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) [13:15] pajamian: how nice. have a nice .... [13:15] Slart, huh [13:15] hi, how can i install Acrobat Connect Add-in on firefox ? [13:15] frost0: if you want to be wild and crazy.. go ahead =) [13:15] frost0: Not a good idea [13:15] Slart, no..i just want it to work :) [13:15] How can a device (partition) exist in fdisk -l but not in /dev?

[13:16] frost0: We all want everything to work. but do you want to risk everything else to get it going [13:16] frost0: compiling from source is better than the rpm [13:16] Jack_Sparrow, no sir. [13:16] frost0: but it might have the same dependencies.. do you have compiling instructions? [13:16] Slart, nope. [13:16] frost0: Avoid alien [13:17] Jack_Sparrow, will do.

[13:24] IdleOne: You wont find a list like that, you will find lists of what each distro supports... or distrowatch... best bet is a forum with your hardware [13:24] Slart, then make? [13:24] frost0: no error messages? if not.. make [13:25] gracias [13:25] Jack_Sparrow, been googling all morning cant seem to find anything. ultimately I would like to get Ubuntu back on my pc and working properly [13:25] frost0: and when that finishes.. "sudo make install" [13:25] IdleOne: What hardware is the issue [13:25] Slart, make: *** No rule to make target `/usr/share/qt3/mkspecs/default/qmake.conf', needed by `Makefile'. Stop. [13:25] Jack_Sparrow, the onboard NIC [13:25] IdleOne: Selecting a distro for something like a wifi card is just silly,, (my opinion) [13:26] Jack_Sparrow, not wifi [13:26] frost0: then ./config didn't finish properly.. try running it again... check the last 10 lines or so for any error messages [13:26] Slart, ./config: line 51: qmake: command not found [13:26] Jack_Sparrow, I agree but I cant seem to get it working and I just dont like using windows. feel like I am a slave :/ [13:27] Slart, qmake? [13:27] IdleOne: Pick a distro that you like with good support and make whatever hardware change is necessary [13:27] IdleOne: What card is it? [13:27] frost0: ah.. we install it.. "sudo apt-get install qt3-dev-tools" [13:27] Hello, I'm a Windows-aholic trying to go Linux, and am having trouble following the instructions to configure my wireless LAN... [13:27] Jack_Sparrow, not sure lemme check [13:27] frost0: then try "./config" again [13:28] RMWChaos: Which instructions? [13:28] IdleOne: is the sis mirage graphics chip? [13:28] bazhang, yeah [13:28] i can't use my audio device with vmware because its being used by another program, is there some way to check who is using /dev/dsp ????

[13:29] wired [13:29] Slart, tons more errors now...all starting with q's :) [13:29] iari: That is a wild and dangerous thing to do [13:29] frost0: what's the first error you see? [13:29] I am a bit unclear about the prerequisite packages and how to get them [13:29] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=579413 IdleOne this guy got it going--though not a helpful thread really [13:30] frost0: or you could pastebin the whole thing..

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) [13:30] RMWChaos: Dependencies? [13:30] IdleOne: what does lspci show [13:30] is someone know well the zip command line syntax ? [13:30] Jack_Sparrow, I am in windows at the momment [13:31] IdleOne: even easier.. go to the hardware manager [13:31] I see a little icon for my DAP in rhythmbox, but now, how do I move music to it? [13:31] Slart, http://pastebin.com/d4e0a4885 [13:31] frost0: no.. run ./config again [13:31] RMWChaos: I am not a wifi person, but I will take a look in a minute [13:31] Sorry, not sure what your question is about dependencies [13:31] <[revamped]> levander : go to music and add folder or file [13:31] i would recursively zip a folder and not having the whole path inside the zip file [13:32] Hmm. configure couldn't install cooledit. Should I have extracted the archive to another place? Is there a preferred extraction folder for installs? [13:32] RMWChaos:Dependencies are the prerequisites [13:32] my problem is not with wifi specifically at the moment, but rather how to use sudo [13:32] sorry for the spelling, still early [13:32] Slart, same [13:32] Realtek RTL8211B IdleOne this seems to be it [13:32] Slart, did ./config then make....and i get those errors [13:32] [revamped]: well, i clicked on Music and have all the music I have on my computer listed in the bottom window on the right. But, I'm not sure what you mean by add folder or file. [13:32] RMWChaos: sudo then the command you need to run as root [13:32] instructions say to type this: sudo apt-get install build-essential subversion linux-headers-`uname -r` gcc-3.4-base cpp-3.4 curl [13:32] frost0: pastebin the output from ./config [13:32] brb [13:33] Because I don't believe that my updated Gutsy has a gcc that "can't create executables" as config.log says :) [13:33] ex.: zip -r myzip.zip /home/me/myfolder [13:33] Jack_Sparrow, SIS191 ethernet controller [13:33] <[revamped]> levander if u added folders and files in rythmic . thn just play the songs [13:33] Photo1: sudo apt-get install build-essential [13:33] it make a zip with the /home as root [13:33] Slart, http://pastebin.com/d3557ceff [13:34] and i would have /home/me/myfolder as root of the zip content [13:34] [revamped]: the question is, how do I add the songs to my DAP (digital audio player, a portable one)?

[15:09] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=587549 luc|f3r [15:09] Burt: it didn't work? [15:09] damn bugs [15:09] luc|f3r, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GraphicalInstall [15:09] Slart, i login via terminal and never get kicked out to ohcrap@ubuntu [15:09] to run commands [15:09] slart -- Cool..I was trying to catch up on what your issue was exactly..but I missed too much of the conversation...is the app your running java driven? [15:10] MAX: let me check that site out [15:10] i have aq feeling this box was turned off in the middle of an update [15:10] jamesm: nope.. it's a thing to convert joystick input into keyboard input.. to emulate a digital joypad using a normal joystick [15:10] !tab > jamesm [15:11] Burt: I don't quite understand... how did you login via a terminal? [15:11] !install > Blue_Sassley [15:11] Slart, control alt f1...asks me to login [15:11] Slart, i do. [15:11] Burt kicked to ohcrap@ubuntu what are you talking about ?

How I can start new session windowed? [15:12] Slart, yep [15:12] luc|f3r, try and connect to a wireless network [15:12] Burt: that's odd.. very odd [15:12] How do you find out your kernel version? [15:12] ive never used linux and wireless cards lol [15:12] I think it's 2.6.17 something [15:12] luc|f3r: why is that funny ? [15:12] maximilion: 'uname -r' in console [15:12] right [15:13] thanks xENO__! [15:13] Blue_Sassley can i private message you? [15:13] luc|f3r, yeah [15:13] i can´t seem to install a kernel [15:13] luc|f3r: first boot from the livecd--then see if it gets your wireless card [15:14] so it will be like my windows at the system try theres my wireless computer so it should show on ubuntu? [15:14] luc|f3r, yeah its in the upper right hand corner of the screen [15:14] u guys are really helpful :) [15:14] thanks for helping a noob :D [15:14] luc|f3r, left click it once and a menu should apper showing the wireless networks [15:15] k ill probally connect on my girls pc and ask once more how to do it lol [15:15] Slart, should i go back to joy2key? [15:15] Slart, were we close with that one? [15:15] Burt: seems like qjoypad doesn't quite do it's jon [15:15] Slart, that one was installed via synaptic [15:15] *job [15:15] Slart, true [15:15] MAX: uname -r [15:15] Burt: it does this ever time you run it? [15:16] *every [15:16] Slart, yeah [15:16] Anyone know why Gnome would fail to function after a fresh install + updates? [15:16] <[revamped]> do anyone of you use vypress chat on ur box ? [15:16] qjoypad...I remember reading an article about something like that in LJ -- I have a RACING USA system outside my shop that I was going to be build up...but got busy with work :( [15:16] Burt: I'd go back to the other one then... yes [15:16] <[revamped]> does anyone of you use vypress chat on your box ? [15:16] Slart, do you remember were we left off? [15:17] Metal pedals, slide out racing seat, drop down keyboard, 19" LCD, Pentium III 666 to push it...cool concept for the kids...just no time :( [15:17] Burt: you had the program installed.. you were running xwininfo [15:17] Burt: you click the window you want to send the keystrokes to [15:17] ahh I love tangents [15:17] is it possible to make virtualbox ose demonized? [15:18] Slart, i click on the terminal right? [15:18] bella [15:18] Burt: well.. in the future you click on the window belonging to the game.. but for testing we can try the terminal, yes [15:19] Burt: or rather a text editor window.. don't want to be running random commands [15:19] Slart,but, i can't minimize the game :( [15:19] Burt: oh.. then we have more problems [15:19] Slart, how do i normally?...i don't know the command? [15:19] regius_: i've never used virtualbox so i don't know, but i once made a daemonized version of vmware player using vncserver... that way i could access the virtual server's console too if needed [15:20] OK, just ran "make install" of my sound card driver. Can I manually load it to test it? [15:20] ali1234, ok nice but i now got virtualbox up and running. This is the only thing left [15:20] Slart, is it simple? [15:21] hey, can i create a software raid 0 and encrypt it? with the alternative cd? [15:21] Burt: depends on the game.. I don't know of a general way to do it.. alt+enter is the windows way.. might try it [15:21] Or should I put it in some startup .conf file? [15:21] maximilion: You can modprobe the module name... [15:21] regius_: you could do the same thing i did using virtualbox, just tell it to run on it's own private vnc display... [15:21] So nobody's had a problem with Gnome not working after one of the updates? [15:21] aa now i understand [15:21] thnx [15:21] Slart, so to use the joy2key i have to be able to minimze the game? [15:21] tnx [15:21] what is the acceptable way to delete trash items that you don't have rights to delete? [15:21] xENO__: I'm pretty new, I just type sudo modprobe mmusbaudio? [15:21] regius_: qemu actually has that functionality built in to it... maybe vb does too [15:22] maximilion: If that's the name of the .ko file, yes. It should wor. [15:22] Burt: well.. not really.. we need the window handle.. clicking on the window is just one way of getting that.. there might be other ways of getting that info [15:22] returned nothing, but no error either :) [15:22] Hi! I was wondering if there is an utility like windows in Gutsy where I can check my disks for errors [15:23] maximilion: It's silent, usually. Try a volume control app, that should detect it. [15:23] <[revamped]> how to run .sh installer file ? [15:23] Slart, like what info? [15:23] Roy: I don't think there's a GUI one, but there's the command-line tool fsck, [15:23] [revamped] 'sh file.sh' [15:23] 'man' command will not exit with Esc or Ctrl-C! [15:23] Burt: well.. you can try it.. just run xwininfo and click on any window.. you'll get some text.. at the top is a window id.. that's the number we need [15:23] <[revamped]> okay jeruvy [15:23] maximilion: "q" [15:23] maximilion: q [15:24] heh ;0 [15:24] Are there any cool program to unpack .rar files with? ;D [15:24] !fsck | Roy [15:24] Roy: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [15:24] xENO__: could you please explain how to go about it? [15:24] good, thx. I should type 'man man' some day ;) [15:24] Thanks dgj [15:24] jamesm: here's a oneliner.. it doesn't do anything yet.. it just prints out what it can do.. for a in $(ls); do for b in $(ls ./$a/); do echo mv ./$a/$b ./$a-`echo $b | egrep -o '[0-9]+'`.png; done; done [15:24] ...

[15:28] that happens :( [15:28] maximilion: It will work with ' or " quotes. [15:29] hi guys [15:29] Burt: you can try using alt+tab to switch to another window [15:29] what update do u check on software sources? [15:29] Slart, mouse is still stuck when i do that. :( [15:29] martin__, sudo apt-get clean, sudo apt-get upgrade [15:29] I'm having a problem with Gnome not starting after installing updates. [15:29] do i need the recommended update? or just the important security update? [15:29] Slart: Thanks -- That is part of the problem -- I am looking at changing the files from (img1 (1).png to img1.png) eliminating that white space has helped on a few test files. With that I have created a list.txt and am now looking up a utiliy to match list.txt with the files in ascending/desencing order -- I figured it was going to take at least 1 prior modification before the actual rename was applied -- Digital cameras naming schemes by default are real [15:29] ly really poor [15:30] https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/16351 <<< should i do that if it doesnt work?

[15:31] Burt: you run the joy2key program with the id on the command line... joy2key -dev /dev/input/js0 12345678 [15:31] Burt: change 12345678 to your id... at least that's what I think you have to do [15:31] i just update all recommended [15:31] yep no sound i cant play music [15:31] then evrything was messed up [15:31] xENO__: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55081/ [15:31] try to up the volume [15:32] I would imagine if I dug a little harder there is probably a GUI made just for this type of thing -- in regards to rectifying sloppy file names...Need to look at F-Spot again..that program has all sorts of goodies buried in it [15:32] how do you exclude directories when using find? [15:32] sometimes at 80% volume I hear no sound, at 81% i hear something [15:32] jamesm: that's not so hard.. are all the files named like that? are the more than one file with the same beginning? [15:32] oboy03: what sources are you using? the first four in synaptic repo list? === ktogias is now known as ktogias-CTI [15:32] baxhang: yeah [15:32] jamesm: I mean.. are there "img1 (1).png" and "img1 (2).png" [15:33] oboy03: anything like automatix or envy? [15:33] if i set my normal user password as the same as my root password, can a virus invoke "pswd" to get this password and gain root access? [15:33] * maximilion asks all: Does Pidgin log channels, and where can I find it? [15:33] can anyone tell me that who rates the ubuntu applications? or how can the ubuntu applications can be rated? [15:33] ?? [15:33] <|REM|> how do I change the IP address from static to DHCP from the command line? [15:33] dhclient or dhcpcd [15:33] ambar: I think there a little application that gathers info on what apps people have installed [15:33] i think [15:33] yao_ziyuan: no root by default [15:33] maximilion: Restart Gnome. [15:33] |REM|, [15:33] its simple [15:33] in software source i check the first four in ubuntu software tab, and first on the update tab [15:34] bazhang: i don't log in with root (with a normal account). but can the virus get my normal account password? [15:34] type dhcpcd or dhclient [15:34] i have a configuration error [15:34] xENO__: Did modprobe add mmusbaudio to the startup .conf, wherever that is? [15:34] yao_ziyuan: what virus? [15:34] (I want to learn) [15:34] ... [15:34] oboy03: things are messed up is not very descriptive [15:34] bazhang: an imaginary virus that assumes my root password = my normal user password [15:34] i get this error when i click the sound icon ¨No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found.¨ [15:34] so since i have a duo core i download the amd64 right? [15:35] luc|f3r: not necessarily [15:35] Slart: yes throughout 54 directories [15:35] luc|f3r: you can use either; the benefits to the 64bit are minimal at the moment [15:35] luc|f3r: stay with 32-bit unless you really really want 64bit.. like if you have more than 4gb of memory [15:35] Slart, http://pastebin.com/d3b8e28c1 [15:35] bazhang sorry, i mean i got broken packages, and can't fix it like before [15:35] luc|f3r: i have a 64 bit processor but use the normal 32 bit kernel and i recommend that to most people unless they need to address huge amounts or ram [15:35] maximilion: No, Ubuntu shuld do that automatically. At leats, I think it does. [15:35] Slart, i think we have the command wrong [15:35] so i reinstalled ubntu [15:35] <|REM|> VOici: Thanks! [15:36] did it work? [15:36] works [15:36] now i want to know which update should i use to prevent future problems [15:36] oboy03: first four in synaptic and fifth was what? [15:36] oboy03: Like Gnome not starting?

[15:39] can any one help me my modules srnt getting loaded at boot [15:39] oboy03: they are fine--something else is clearly the issue [15:39] bazhang: or should i only update important security update?

[15:41] stelt, -orw should allow it to be readwrite [15:41] how can i mount the modules manually [15:41] bazhang: i was just wondering that sometimes updates cause problem with broken packages [15:41] <_elemental> anyone know a good rss reader that is not integrated with a web browser? [15:41] i've installed and update ubuntu a few times [15:41] oboy03: what packages specifically [15:41] stelt, if after that command the volume is still readonly you should install ntfs-3g and replace -tntfs with -tntfs-3g [15:41] the games package and open office [15:41] can someone help me figure out why frets on fire is sooo laggy [15:42] i run more intensive games easily on *nix [15:42] sometimes the lib... someting [15:42] oboy03: what games package--please be clear [15:42] the last update just broke flash under firefox [15:42] its just weird [15:42] any ideas how to fix it ?

[15:43] ThreeFingerPete: perhaps it's because i"m runing 64bits [15:43] Burt: not without remaking it. [15:43] oboy03: specify the problems and we will try to address them one by one [15:43] anyone know if I can use sshfs to have a remote server mount a local device?

[16:02] jamesm: all I know isthat the robot connects to a server which relays to other clients [16:02] Coreleone: OK, It probably won't work on vista then - you can keep going on without it - just means you won't get some bookmarks copied across - won't do any damage not having it [16:02] dragonfighter44: You should probably get silenced, but we are all volunteers here - we don't have to help you at your command [16:02] agoebel: My mind is churning with all the possibilities [16:02] yes .right [16:02] <|REM|> VOiCi: Doing dhclient worked but on a reboot it goes back to the static address.

[16:03] james: I know, right? the issue is that there are 3 machines: firewalled robot, server, and clients which controll it [16:03] you should take a look at some config file [16:03] . [16:03] or add it to your .bashrc, but that would be a hack [16:03] i am using ubuntu, latest version and looking for a program that can catalog pics that i have spread all over my lan, i do now want them on a sql server or similar but to stay on the servers, just looking for a prog that will make it possible to scan my lan and catalog them on a laptop [16:03] stupid question: in "man", if there is a phrase "see _xxx_(123) for details", how do I do that? "man xxx" does not help [16:03] Coreleone: Yeah - just keep going ignoring the fact it can't find your vista user accounts - its no disaster [16:03] guys, having an issue with postfix-doc, when I do my morning updates, it seems to give me an error, I have tried to do aptitude remove, yet I get the error: ' Removing postfix-doc ...postconf: fatal: open /etc/postfix/main.cf for reading: No such file or directory dpkg: error processing postfix-doc (--remove): subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1' what can I do resolve this ? [16:03] bazhang: i got no browser so i guess i cant pastbin [16:03] oboy03: well the child process means that the icon you click for firefox is looking for an older version of firefox--you did not use anything outside of official ubuntu repositories--such as automatix? [16:03] Feanix: try man 123 xxx [16:03] K well thanks i gotta grab breakfast anywho cheers all [16:03] alot of it just depends on what type of feed he/they want -- live, delayed -- I think the secure portion of it is pretty simple -- [16:03] neverblue: You're probably better off in #ubuntu-server [16:04] elliotjhug, why is that ? [16:04] nope [16:04] Hey, #Ubuntu. I'm trying to download the AMD64 package for Cinelerra. I'm given a command to type into the terminal, but all it does is spit errors back at me.

[16:04] i updated from cannonical and only the security updates [16:04] oboy03: try typing firefox in the terminal [16:04] StaticSignal: What command? [16:04] jamesm: it is currently set up with webcam which file dumps to an ftp and then javascript refreshes every second, but that is way to slow [16:04] anyone know where i can find a script to keep my grub menu.lst from being overwritten during major updates [16:04] Pici: deb http://giss.tv/~vale/ubuntu64 ./ [16:04] jamesm: if there is a better way than remotely mounting /dev/video it'd be great [16:05] its annoying rewriting it [16:05] bazhang: thats weird it says it is not installed [16:05] happy: F-Spot will dig as deep as you need it to. If you have the drives mapped on your system prior to the cataloging should be no problem [16:05] elliotjhug: And after the grub will find both right? [16:05] I'm having trouble running kformula, it won't start in the openoffice word processor.. .. the error is "Object OpenOffice.org 2.0 Formula couldnot be inserted." [16:05] Pici: no manual entry for 7 ( i entered "man 7 debconf" ) [16:05] neverblue: postfix is considered a server app - and they know better about that kinda stuff over there. They are really good with mail clients and stuff [16:05] Ubuntu used to automatically mount my DVD discs and show an icon on the desktop. However, now it doesn't do that and still shows icons for discs that aren't in the drive. What's the problem?

[16:06] elliotjhug: Thanks for your help/ [16:06] neverblue: Well - its still a server package. But I stand corrected if you think here would be a better place to ask. [16:06] StaticSignal: You need to download the deb file from that url, not provide the url as an argument. [16:06] it goes from Boot from CD: \n Boor from CD: \n"GRUB HardDiskError" [16:06] mMm, coffee... black as midnight on a moonless night :) [16:06] Coreleone: No prob [16:06] mysticmarks: "major" upgrades? keep a backup. for "normal" upgrades, put important things outside the "AUTOMAGIC KERNELS" section [16:06] how can i fix this issue? [16:06] if i always has used nick cvd, why the hey xchat say that the nick its already taken? [16:06] StaticSignal: er, nevermind. [16:06] well after 5 secs nothing happened [16:06] How do I get it to mount CDs automatically again?

[16:07] oboy03: sudo apt-get install firefox [16:07] thaks [16:07] what is an 'io-slave'? [16:07] StaticSignal: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [16:07] !io-slave [16:07] Sorry, I don't know anything about io-slave - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [16:07] the only way to login is to change my nick to cvdpr [16:07] oboy03: and what was the message when you did that? [16:07] jamesm: basic stripped down IBM thinkpad I believe, so maybe usb. [16:07] firefox already is newest verson [16:08] StaticSignal: then paste that deb line in there, and then: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install cinelerra [16:08] Restarted Gnome... how can I make it re-detect my USB hdd? [16:08] jamesm: the reason we were thinking mounting video0 is because we found a nice java webapplet which would work [16:08] hey guys I'm having a problem with emerald. this is my second day using ubuntu and I thought I wanted the theme manager but I'm not to happy with it. I installed it and it messed up my appearance, so I tried to go back to the Crux theme but the title bar wont' change back [16:08] Is there an app that will give me the proper resolution for my monitor:HPw1907@1440x900? thanks [16:08] my firefox icon is glitched [16:08] oboy03: where is it located?

Can anyone explain ? === MasterShrek` is now known as MasterShrek [16:09] bill_: in Screen and Graphics [16:09] hey is there a progam on ubuntu to check ur pop3 e-mail? [16:10] stupid question: in "man", if there is a phrase like "see _debconf_(7) for details", how do I do that? I cannot click on the entry, and "man debconf" "man debconf 7" "man 7 debconf" or "man debconf(7)" either lead to entry I came from or do not work.

'lsusb' and 'dmesg' show that the system can see the printer in the usb port though (Bus 001 Device 008: ID 04b8:0005 Seiko Epson Corp. Stylus Printer). When I try to add a printer using localhost:631 in the broswer I get the message 'hpiod: invalid uri:hp:/no_device_found' in the drop down menu wher I would expect to see my [16:21] USB connection. I tried selecting that option and going on with the installation of the printer, but when I try to print a document I (unsurprisingly) get an error message in 'dmesg': ' no_device_found: INFO: open device failed; will retry in 30 seconds...', after which it guves up saying 'unable to send Event hp:/no_device_found 34 5012: Broken pipe'. Help?

[16:26] Hisotaso: no do this now: sudo ln -s /dev/hdc /dev/cdrom <-- after that it should work i think but i really dont know udev hal stuff that well [16:26] oboy03: now do the following: cat /etc/apt/sources.list | pastebinit [16:26] Hisotaso: software [16:26] krim: find /path/to/folder/ > outputfile [16:26] Pici: Thanks.

(trying to find a reason cfdisk shows ntfs, but mount says it is not) [16:27] pepperjack, it wont let me eject thje disc now lol [16:27] stelt: well no, cfdisk just gives you the partition type, which is just a byte in the partition table [16:27] Hisotaso: try eject command [16:28] hi [16:28] anyone know how to change which program is associated with file extensions [16:28] !paste | oboy03 put the output here and tell us the link [16:28] oboy03 put the output here and tell us the link: 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) [16:28] LjL, so i need to format so i can mount it as such ? [16:28] Hisotaso: also, haul back and smack your computer === tabris is now known as tabris|away [16:28] Max, it took the screen a while to come back but I think it is working [16:28] cat /etc/apt/sources.list [16:29] bstock: within nautilus? [16:29] stelt: yes. of course you also want to make sure that you don't have data on it before formatting ;) [16:29] Good:) Use the menu buttons on the monitor to verify that you have full resolution [16:29] in the terminal oboy03 with the | pastebinit at the end of that command [16:29] http://paste.stgraber.org/243 [16:29] pepperjack: yeah i want nautilus to launch a different app for a certain mime type [16:29] * jburd wonders what's wrong. So doesn't anybody know why Ubuntu suddenly stopped automatically mounting my CD discs? [16:29] pepperjack: "/media/cdrom0 is not in the fstab (and you are not root); eject: unmount of `/media/cdrom0' failed, switched to root "eject" works fine, however thats a lot of work to put in and eject a disc [16:29] Hello, I was wondering if anyone could perhaps help me out with trying to change the color that the screen turns between login, and when the desktop loads [16:29] hey folks. im trying to connect to a samba share from 7.10 (samba server is ubuntu, been running as fileserver for xp machines with password flawlessly) problem is im not being prompted for the samba login from the 7.10 client. is this normal ? [16:30] pepperjack: found it, have to go to properties on the file you want to change the default app [16:30] right now, and by default, it is that pale tan-ish orange color [16:30] If I eject a disc and then insert another disc then click "Mount Disc" in the Gnome panel, it shows me cannot mount "Name of the Older Disk" [16:31] Hisotaso: try sudo eject otherwise do sudo umount /dev/hdc then hit the eject button on the cdrom [16:31] oboy03: looks like the were some repos that failed to install due to verification issues--was it timing out? [16:31] Dimitree: well that app doesn't have a Jewish port...but I did find something else - checked into e-sword and found j-sword with alot of mods...looking for something now [16:32] Hi.

[16:34] jamesm, btw any idea if i can maby search for that bible and find it in some format will i be able to convert it to a usable format for gnome sword ? [16:34] oboy03: due to verification issues [16:34] so??? [16:34] :) [16:34] jamesm, are there tools to do such things ?

'lsusb' and 'dmesg' show that the system can see the printer in the usb port though (Bus 001 Device 008: ID 04b8:0005 Seiko Epson Corp. Stylus Printer). When I try to add a printer using localhost:631 in the broswer I get the message 'hpiod: invalid uri:hp:/no_device_found' in the drop down menu wher I would expect to see my [16:35] USB connection. I tried selecting that option and going on with the installation of the printer, but when I try to print a document I (unsurprisingly) get an error message in 'dmesg': ' no_device_found: INFO: open device failed; will retry in 30 seconds...', after which it guves up saying 'unable to send Event hp:/no_device_found 34 5012: Broken pipe'. Help? [16:35] enzo: http://home.comcast.net/~fcchandler/stable/index.html (but this is a windows app) [16:36] Pici: Can you tell me how or would it be easier if I just looked it up in man? [16:36] i ghosted ubuntu with norton ghost and i get busybox v1.1.3 and its waiting on a command [16:36] will ubuntu fit on a reg cd?

[16:36] ok ali1234 (with virtualbox, it should work) [16:36] Dimitree: Technically since gnomesword is GPL you could by all rights import the bible YOU want to study and hack the code accordingly. On the gnome-sword site there is a bit of information on doing this (in regards to the current installed Bible) but it would take some research [16:37] enzo: i expect it would work in wine... [16:37] it won't work. [16:37] can some one help me [16:37] use the damn version for the os. [16:37] jamesm, ok thank you very much ! :) [16:38] What seems to be the problem, irenicus ? [16:38] the link you gave me is a patch version of virtualdub ali1234? strange such a useful thing is not already in virtualdb no ? [16:38] Dimitree: The cool thing about a community driven app like Gnome-Sword is that people would respond and you could probably get it done in a relatively short timeframe [16:38] Pepperjack: ok i figured it out, fstab reffered to /dev/hdc /media/cdrom0, changed it to /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom0, works fine now, thanks for your help ^^ [16:38] what does verification issues mean? [16:38] "rescan-usb": command not found. [16:38] Dimitree: Honestly I would just user your exsisting software and port it with WINE [16:38] jamesm, well i hope i will have luck :) [16:38] Help :) [16:38] someone told me ubuntu is made for black people, is that true É [16:39] probably be the easiest and quickest solution [16:39] enzo: due to the problems with redistributing mpeg2 decoder software [16:39] jamesm, ok i will try that aswell thank you :) [16:39] KingDong: Yes, except one distro, RedNeck Linux. ;) [16:39] Hisotaso: nice np [16:40] mount: block device /dev/scd0 is write-protected, mounting read-only [16:40] dmesg | tail: end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 0 [16:40] KingDong: Ubuntu is for everyone.

[16:41] i ghosted a version of linux, but after the ghost it wont boot into linux it goes to busybox v1.1.3 [16:41] Why do I get this error when using VirtualBox ?

[16:41] TY Pici -- that kid has to get back to school anyway [16:41] oboy03: i might misunderstand but just to create an iso you can dd if=/dev/cdrom of=mahfile.iso [16:41] hi all i am running a old laptop using kubuntu using 6.06 it has no ethernet cable but i have a modem that will run usb how can i get kubuntu to detect it? [16:42] ? [16:42] Anyone know why my laptop does't go into sleep mode when I close it ? [16:42] stelt, you can use qparted. if the partition is in the same dirve you're using you will need to run qparted from a rescu/live CD [16:42] vallhalla81: Did you already plug the modem in to the system ? [16:42] I am installing the ubuntu server.. but it stops at the start right after "booting the kernel." .. what could be wrong? [16:42] bazhang: what caused the problem? [16:42] jamesm i tryed but it didnt sem to work [16:43] * maximilion reboots [16:43] so unpluge to come here and ask for advice [16:43] oboy03: not really sure--sounds like a server issue [16:43] How come I don't have a 'shutdown' option ? only 'log off, Switch user, hibernate, suspend ' ...? [16:43] so i'll just update again? [16:43] vallhalla81: did you check to ensure that the modem is supported -- what brand and model is it ? [16:44] Nulo, it won't f##k up the other partitions ? Qparted is what is used in the install from liveCD process, right?

[16:47] double-clicking an mp3 file brings up Totem asking for a codec. Recommendation on best mp3 player to just play audio? [16:47] stelt, you must be careful when partitioning a drive and make sure you back-data. it could indeed be f*cked up. If it's in a different drive you can run qparted from your normal linux installation, but make sure the other drive is NOT mounted [16:47] ftpvk: hey vyto :) [16:47] maximilion, i use amarok,. but its your choice,. mplayer, vlc [16:48] bod_: depends on what you use if for, but has been solid here--you might want limit the upload in deluge and number of torrents to just three or four as well [16:48] want to even [16:48] bod_: Thanks!

[16:51] stelt, in that case i'm afraid i can't help you. [16:51] bazhang, you misunderstand me,. 10 seeders, 5 leechers = 20% capacity per leecher,. if you upload speed is at unlimited and someone else is at 1kbps the torrent program will give you some of there % because you are seeding more then them [16:51] jamesm, text [16:51] luc|f3r: you got the livecd burned to disk? then just reboot with it in the cd drive--though you may have to point the bios to look for it first [16:51] maximilion, no probs [16:51] eth01: I don't know..

[17:07] sveakex: thank you very much [17:07] anyway [17:07] bod, i went in the XP setup cd but when i got to the partition screen it froze...which is weird i've never had that freeze before...but i had 30gb NTFS with 15gb used...had to be my XP partition...then 1800mb unknown and 43gb unknown...so it might actually be working right i'm gonna have to go into the ubuntu partition installer again and probably do manual? [17:07] how can i retrieve it to a new location in maildir format [17:07] bazhang thanks for the help [17:07] ( i am migrating my services) [17:07] ePax: again--no idea about ##windows [17:07] seems i got more problems now [17:07] ali_ is that you ali1234 ? [17:07] ePax: google around for more about the MBR issues with vista. :) [17:07] ePax: and how to partition it within vista [17:07] i mean its not because you helped me [17:07] anyway [17:07] bod_: thanks [17:07] ePax: or ask in ##windows [17:07] whoaitsphil, how many os's or partitions do you have/need ?? [17:08] i only have XP installed [17:08] and i want ubuntu installed as well [17:08] simple dual boot [17:08] RainCT, your script? what exactly do you want it to do? [17:08] i've done it many times before...but i got screwed up cause of a cd rom read error this time on install [17:08] sveakex: i hade problem with mbr and i kinda solved it... cos vista would boot... not that i use vista much... but i kinda payed for it [17:08] whoaitsphil, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot [17:09] aahahahah [17:09] Is the uuid in /etc/fstab unique for a certain hd? If i put in a certain disk and mount it to /media/disk_a and have another line in fstab for a second hd that i want to be mounted in /media/disk_b, will the uuid make sure the different drives are mounted to the proper folder, even if they are both for example /dev/sdb1? [17:09] whoaitsphil, firstly id do it cean,.,. meaning remove all partitions except the xp, then use the ubuntu cd,.,. but you right click on my computer, theres a choice called 'manage' in there you can remove partitions [17:09] now even the terminal is messed up [17:09] ePax: if you know hot to solve the mbr issue then it is only the removing partitions one left (within vista) ;) [17:09] another child process problem [17:09] ok...well i was doing it clean...i only had XP installed and then i was installing ubuntu [17:09] KenSentMe, what do you mean by uid? [17:09] ubuntu just booted again by cd..im gonna see what i can do [17:09] eagle-101, there is a uuid in /etc/fstab for every partition [17:09] ePax: my vista got unusable after 6 months until i went over to ubuntu and then to arch linux [17:10] whoaitsphil, you said you had unexplained/unneeded partitions,.,. start again with just the 1 [17:10] heya [17:10] KenSentMe, under proc? my fstab does not mention uid at all [17:10] hey guys its me luc|f3r [17:10] hi [17:10] sveakex: i got bluescreen 2 hours after i started vista [17:10] :D [17:10] well i had a bad partition because ubuntu only half installed on it [17:10] eagle-101, mine does [17:10] so im on the livecd and it sees the card but it wont connect [17:10] thats the one i gotta get rid of and redo [17:10] ePax: i just formatted xp to get on hardy alpha [17:10] KenSentMe, here is mine http://rafb.net/p/m2ZduX85.html [17:10] whoaitsphil, do it in the 'manage' thing i told you about [17:10] ePax: hehe, stick to ubuntu or any other linux distro is my advice, but do what you want to do ;) [17:10] decided xp makes good for gaming.. and lets just keep it there if possible [17:11] i guess reformatting will easily solve my problems [17:11] whoaitsphil, ah, ok, open up fdisk, find the bad partition and delete it [17:11] Assid: Wintendo 32bit XP Edition ;) [17:11] eagle-101, the uuid is at the beginning of the lines in my fstab [17:11] what i do to get my wiresless card working right? [17:11] KenSentMe, wanna pastebin yours? [17:11] bod_: get the settings from a configuration file, have a command to gain root permission without being in the admin group (still have to look how to do this) and take a new copy of the home directory set in the config file, and restore it from there on boot (and on the way empty the printer jobs queue). isn't really much, but I asked as if there's something like this with GUI it would indeed be better [17:11] Assid: or even better, Wintendo32 XP Edition, haha XD [17:11] sveakex: more like XPot 32 edition [17:12] Assid: hehe x) [17:12] thanks #ubuntu [17:12] XPox even [17:12] eagle-101, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55103/ [17:12] even have a damn xbox controller to play with [17:12] Assid: Wintendo32 XPox Edition [17:12] !windows [17:12] For discussion and help with Microsoft Windows, please visit ##windows.

How do i proceed with the installation? [17:12] RainCT, actually, as a new scripter myself, id be happy to attempt to write that for you,.. if you'd let me, but it may take me a short while,.,. [17:13] I am getting a white window when trying to listen to a radio station from their website. As far as i know i have java, and flash plugins installed. Any ideas? kufo.com is the site [17:13] bazhang: i'll jsut reformat again thanks [17:13] KennethP, I don't know what the UID is for at all... I don't have that here.

[17:22] <^Elfboy> read the http://www.pastebin.ca/895189 [17:22] heh [17:22] ^Elfboy, i did [17:23] ^Elfboy, it tells you what to do to fix it,.,?? [17:23] <^Elfboy> umm then i did not understan it :) [17:24] ^Elfboy, get the ncurses library [17:24] <^Elfboy> kk [17:24] <^Elfboy> just apt-get http://www.pastebin.ca/895189 [17:24] <^Elfboy> ops [17:24] bazhang, do you ever find yourself fixing people problems, with commen sense and logic, even if you dont really no what your doing? [17:24] On the installation live-cd, how do i reach the terminal if i cannot get into X ? [17:24] <^Elfboy> just apt-get ncurses library [17:25] ^Elfboy, synaptic search the word ncurses [17:25] stupid, recovery mode from grub,.,. or i think its like ctrl+F1 not sure though [17:26] >stupid, just hit crt+alt+F2 and you'll be at a terminal [17:26] mocoloco, ty,. il remember that,.,.:~) [17:26] ctrl+alt+F1-6 are all terminals in fact, and ctrl+alt+F7 is your first graphical login (when X is working of course) [17:27] mocoloco, are they run levels? [17:27] <^Elfboy> sorry to sound stupid but this is my frist time with ubuntu so how do i synaptic search ncurses [17:27] <^Elfboy> im use to portage :) [17:27] not sure bodsda, I never really learned what that means :) [17:27] Bodsda: F1-F6? No they're just virtual terminals [17:28] ^Elfboy, System-->Admin-->Synaptic when there click the search button, then type ncurses then click search,.,.sorry i didnt realise you were a new user [17:28] <^Elfboy> umm [17:28] Bodsda: hehe dont tell others ;] [17:28] <^Elfboy> no x [17:28] Jouva, ok,.,.ty,.,.virtual? [17:28] <^Elfboy> its a server [17:28] ^Elfboy, ah,.,.hang on,. il find the exact package name for you [17:28] Bodsda: As opposed to physical :) [17:28] Bodsda: let it get the configuration from /etc/freeze.conf (which could be for example something like http://paste.ubuntu.com/4309/, but doesn't need to be exactly like that), let the save option take the name of which's users home you want to re-copy (also allow "all" to copy them all again, or try to detect if the user who is running the command is in the config file and use that one if no other one is indicated; [17:28] Bodsda: the script should become $admin and from there gain sudo powers to copy the dir), and the 'start' part should be run for all users in the config file. I think I had thought of something more but I can't remember now.. [17:28] ^Elfboy: aptitude search ncurses [17:28] <^Elfboy> ok thanks Bodsda thanks [17:29] ^Elfboy: or apt-cache search, if you prefer [17:29] ^Elfboy: both work on cli [17:29] elfboy, do sudo aptitude. it's not too tough to search in there. Ctrl-T will open the menu, from there you can figure it out fairly easily [17:30] RainCT, i thought you just wanted to make sure any changes done by a certain user (eg 1 person) was reverted on reboot? [17:30] ^Elfboy, i cant find that package in my synaptic, might be a server thing,.,. sorry not to sure [17:31] <^Elfboy> ok [17:31] <^Elfboy> thanks [17:31] Jouva, as opposed to physical,. i believe that nothing on my screen i can phsically minipulate because its all virtual? [17:31] Bodsda: yes.. [17:31] ... [17:31] ^Elfboy: did you read what i wrote? [17:31] Bodsda: 6 terminals as opposed to 6 physical monitors :P [17:32] RainCT, if you just want to revert changes on one account, i think your overcomplicating things [17:32] err [17:32] Bodsda: 6 "virtual" terminals as opposed to 6 physical monitors :P [17:32] Jouva, right, got ya [17:32] ty [17:32] :~) [17:32] any one know how to change the color of the screen that pops up right after you log in to gnome? [17:32] Bodsda: Essentially the runlevel includes information on how many terminals to create and what daemons to run on startup. And the default one for Ubuntu desktop includes running GNOME Display Manager [17:33] anyone here with a dell xps m1730? [17:33] Catachan: System -> Preferences -> Appearance [17:33] bod i got a problem... [17:33] ? [17:33] Bodsda: atm it's only one account but it might become more (and I'm planning to improve it in the future, like also creating a GUI for it) [17:33] oh,.ok [17:33] i've deleted the old partition of the failed ubuntu install [17:33] Question... how can I access my Linux Drive while in windows? [17:33] Hello anyone has installed E17 on Gutsy? [17:33] whoaitsphil, so? [17:33] <^Elfboy> RichiH: sorry i did not see what u ssaid [17:34] Bodsda: anyway, if you see anything you can improve on what I send you please feel free to do so :) [17:34] Catachan, that's a bug that causes it to be brown, even when you change the color in the login screen settings. Let me find you a link to the fix... [17:34] RainCT, ah ok,.,. im not as good at scripting as you,.,.:~) [17:34] Jouva, that seems to only affect the desktop color and the login screen's color. Between the log in screen and the fully loaded desk top I get that orangish color on my monitor [17:34] so right now under my manual parition editor in ubuntu it has sda1 32gb NTFS...sda2 45gb ext3...and sda5 1990mb swap [17:34] mocoloco, that would be appreciated [17:34] the 32gb ntfs is my window.s..i really dont wanna lose anything on that [17:34] thank you [17:34] Drakaen: That's a big 100% definite absolute... maybe. You essentially need drivers in windows that support the particular file system used. Overall, don't expect full working support :) [17:35] My laptop doesn't go into hibernation / Suspend mode. When I try switching to hibernate the screen goes black and there's a blinking '_' like DOS mode... I can't type or do anything except shutting down using the power button.. [17:35] sda2 has been deleted and created again but when i try to install ubuntu on it, it says there is an error and cant do it [17:35] whoaitsphil, what error? [17:35] ^Elfboy: use apt-cache search and/or aptitude search to look for ncurses packages [17:35] Here's the GDM background color fix http://bapoumba.wordpress.com/2007/10/24/change-gdm-background-color-to-match-your-gdm-theme-applies-to-xfce/ [17:35] i am just looking at passing files back and forth like u can do the other way (linux able to open the windows drive [17:36] <^Elfboy> RichiH: thansk it list a lot fo file [17:36] whoaitsphil, did you make sure to format sda2 as an ext2 or preferably ext3? [17:36] Drakaen: Write access may be MUCH harder to come across than read access at all [17:36] all i did was delete it [17:36] ahh [17:36] then go back and do the guided [17:36] just noticed it says xfce, but it works for anything using gdm, ie gnome [17:36] and it says [17:36] Drakaen: If you went with defaults, I believe the default is ext3. So you'll need to find something that lets you mount ext3 within windows [17:36] join #ubuntu-fr [17:36] ** if anyone is using gutsy and flashplugin-nonfree please ping me [17:37] Riddell: pong [17:37] any ideas what can be used... one person said samba but im not sure it will work [17:37] Drakaen: http://www.fs-driver.org/ seems to be a potential good start [17:37] The test of the file system with type ext3 in partition #2 of SCSI1 (0,0,0) (sda) found uncorrected errors. If you do not go back to the partitioning menu and correct these errors, the partition will be used as is. [17:37] ^Elfboy: yah, you need to decide which to use, now [17:37] I'm trying to find out how to install the GNOME theme manager where it shows up under System -> Preferences [17:37] Riddell: i've been trying [17:37] hey. I'm trying to create a partition on my PC using gparted having booted off the ubuntu live cd, but each time I try to create it and it reaches the point where it says 'real resize', my PC freezes. any ideas? [17:37] Riddell: same here [17:37] danbhfive: what's your output for `md5sum /var/cache/flashplugin-nonfree/install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz` [17:37] and i click continue ayways and it says "AN error occured whil writing the changes to the storage devices.

I see the icons there, but if I right click one, the panel just acts as though it is blank space. If I logout then back in, it works. Any ideas?

[17:40] awesome! [17:41] cause I can't view flash now [17:41] ok i have the partition editor up and all i have now is 32gb of windows XP on NTFS sda1...and then 47gb of unused space...how do i go about installing ubuntu on the rest of the 47 unused space in the manual partition editor?

[17:41] hi [17:41] dgjones: aha mine is now broken ;[ [17:42] Drakaen: Basically, if the Linux HD is in another system that can be booted while you're in Windows on another machine, then yes, use Samba or SCP/SFTP. If it's NOT then you CAN'T use samba because you can't boot both OSes at the same time without some sort of special software. In this case just use the ext2/ext3 driver [17:42] blackv1: whats the output of this command: ls ~/.mozilla/plugins [17:42] No such file or directory [17:42] sorry to repeat myself. I'm trying to create a partition on my PC using gparted having booted off the ubuntu live cd (so that I can dual boot), but each time I try to create it and it reaches the point where it says 'real resize', my PC freezes. any ideas? [17:43] I'm looking for advice about wireless adapter for an 7.10 install. Searching seems to indicate it's a pretty spotty part in Linux's hardware support. Are there any sure bets? [17:43] worked fine until I ran an update for flash this morning [17:43] blackv1: how about this command: locate libflashplayer.so [17:43] Riddell, I also have 821cc72359a937caef85bb4cc74ef5cd /var/cache/flashplugin-nonfree/install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz [17:43] now it says it's not installed? [17:43] Anyone notice the latest 7.10 updates broke flash? [17:43] I had some problems with flash this mroning too. [17:43] I'm trying to find out how to install the GNOME theme manager where it shows up under System -> Preferences [17:43] (i guess so) [17:44] but removing and reinstalling fixed it. [17:44] danbhfive: nothing [17:44] Fratm, blackv1: i think you should try « sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-nonfree ; sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree » [17:44] blackv1, is it maybe related to this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3929669 [17:45] i'm dual booting XP and ubuntu...on the manual partition setup for ubuntu should i make the partition primary or logical and beginning or end and what should i set as mount point? i already have XP installed [17:45] thatoldchestnut: Is it resizing an NTFS drive? If so, did you shut down Windows correctly? NTFS-3G, which gparted uses to the best of my knowledge, requires a clean shut-down. [17:45] Invisible_Ubunti, you can change themes under System -> Preferences -> Appearance. Does that have what you need? [17:46] how do I use ladspa? [17:46] LjL, that worked. [17:46] whoaitsphil: make one partition for ubuntu your primary partition and define the mount point as root, then have a logical partition as your swap [17:46] Hello, how can I edit the Applications menu ? [17:46] mocoloco, Yes, all the pages i've read tell me to do it the other way [17:47] bobbob1016: yes, it's NTFS, which I understand linux doesn't like very much anyway. as far as I know windows shut down correctly, I restarted my computer properly and made it boot off the CD in the BIOS [17:47] should i set them both at the end of the partition? === Veinor is now known as Veinor|away [17:47] !away > Veinor|away (Veinor|away, see the private message from Ubotu) [17:47] I find launchers that don't exist in /usr/share/applications/ [17:47] are there any issues with ntfs-3g ? aptitude put the latest release on hold for some reason [17:47] LjL: thanks! that fixed it :) [17:47] Invisible, that's probably because the appearance section is new in ubuntu 7.10 [17:47] whoaitsphil: That depends on a number of things. I'll explain the difference, and you can figure out what you want. To the best of my knowledge, there can only be 4 primary partitions, a logical acts as one primary, but can have many partitions inside it. [17:48] my livecd doesnt wanna boot anymore :( wtf [17:48] bobbob1016: no, an *extended* acts as a primary, and an extended can contain logical partitions [17:48] whoaitsphil: the primary partion should not be part of any other partition but stand alone. [17:48] thatoldchestnut: That is all I can help with, I don't know what would cause your issue, apart from not having a clean shutdown. [17:48] AnAnt, just right-click on applications and click "Edit Menus" [17:48] rightio. don't worry, no one else seems to know either haha [17:49] why does linux have to suck with the newest hardware? [17:49] whoaitsphil: Sorry, I was mistaken, Ljl corrected me, replace logical with extended in my response. Sorry, I'm in class atm. [17:50] sixstrom, the answer is it doesn't have to :) if companies made linux drivers as quickly as for Windows there wouldn't be issues === bwf is now known as Nuclear [17:50] sixstorm: Depends on what new hardware you mean. But the answer would be that companies don't make drivers for new things, and the drivers have to be made by outside people for linux. [17:50] thanks...i think i've got it working...i think my windows xp partition might be screwed up though [17:50] mocoloco: yeah i understand that. ubuntu just doesn't wanna fully work with my 8800GT [17:51] whoaitsphil; everytime i've done any tweaking of a primary partition with windows i've 'always' had to put the windows cd in and do a restore.. windows tosses system files all over a partition [17:51] !help [17:51] 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 [17:51] sixstorm: you stepped on the "nvidia driver can of worms". you can keep checking phoronix and such [17:51] do a restore? or a repair? [17:51] hon: ;) [17:51] whoaitsphil; repair.. [17:52] ah ok [17:52] If you have any advice about wireless adapters (pci or usb) on ubuntu, please let me know. Thanks. I'm going to go work on other things... [17:52] so i will still have everything? [17:52] sixstorm: The better phrasing would be your 8800GT doesn't want to work with Ubuntu. nvidia drivers are usually good though, once they support the hardware with their driver. [17:52] whoaitsphil; basically all it done was remove the system files at the end of the partition. everything worked fine just had to put those files back on the partition [17:52] cool, thanks [17:53] bobbob: yeah, i know. i just remember having a slighty older PC and ubuntu would just FLY and be 100% functional [17:53] whoaitsphil: you will have to reinstall your applications as your registry will be reset to its original state [17:53] but with a Q6600 and 8800GT, it's just not all that fantastic [17:53] whoaitsphil: but the data on the partition should remain intact [17:53] sixstorm: Yeah, that is because the drivers have to be made by hand basically. [17:53] k...will i be able to copy stuff from my windows partition to my ubuntu? [17:53] mocoloco: thans [17:53] Nuclear; whoaitsphil i've not seen it to extent. [17:53] sixstorm: good news is that there is an nvidia driver being written paid by novell. [17:53] mocoloco: thanks [17:53] <^punisher> sup? [17:53] <^punisher> good [17:53] that [17:54] hon: sweet! [17:54] how can i get my dell wireless 1390 card to work [17:54] once that lands, well, things won't suck so much. [17:54] bastid_raZor: pardon? [17:54] BabyDoll: open up a terminal and type lspci [17:55] <[revamped]> how to get special effects more than default ones ? [17:55] Nuclear; i've done several computers that way and have never had to reinstall apps after doing a repair. [17:55] install ccsm [revamped] [17:55] trying to alter fstab to mount a share on my lan, whats wrong //172.16.200.100/W /mnt/w smb user,rw,auto,exec 0 0 [17:55] k next? [17:55] how can i do a speed test on a raid? [17:55] BabyDoll: that meant for me? [17:55] ya [17:55] <[revamped]> bazhang are you sure its for desktop effects ? [17:56] [revamped]: heh, yeah pretty sure ;] [17:56] So I used Envy to install the latest ATI drivers, but in the Restricted Drivers Manager it says "In use" but Enabled isn't clicked. This is normal, correct? [17:56] <[revamped]> okay bazhang , any command line ? :$ [17:56] is EXT3 the best option use when installing ubuntu? as opposed to NTFS. [17:56] bastid_raZor: I see, I've noticed that it restores the registry to a previous point before. Nevermind then ;-) [17:57] thatoldchestnut: installing GNU/Linux (which includes Ubuntu) on NTFS is not going to work out, believe me [17:57] haha [17:57] right [17:57] maybe that's why it freezes when I try to do the partition [17:57] thatoldchestnut: you could use reiserfs or xfs, but ext3 is the de-facto standard [17:57] [revamped]: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager compiz-gnome (emerald if you wish as well) [17:57] Nuclear; possibly i hadn't installed any new apps in windows to the previous registry point it restored to. i'm sure it isn't impossible to happen with windows [17:57] <[revamped]> thanks bazhang [17:58] thatoldchestnut: should not be the reason for that, really, sounds like a bug, but installing on NTFS is not going to work as I said [17:58] mind you, I did try to make the unallocated space into EXT3 when I was trying to make the partition then, and it still froze up [17:58] a friend of mine can have both output and input in ALSA, and it works nice.. but Wine only shows output.. (means he cant talk in mic while using alsa, and OSS isnt an option when playing) [17:58] bastid_raZor: nothing is... [17:58] [revamped]: no worries ;] [17:58] at the very end i see network controller: broadcom Corporation BMC94311MCG wlan [17:58] bazhang: any idea why Compiz stopped working after I did 'dist-upgrade' and restarted? [17:58] but im running off livecd to see if it would see my card [17:59] sp: a bug with my computer, or with the software? I heard there's an 'alternate' version of ubuntu I can try to download instead, I don't know whether that's wrong or not [17:59] what would cause my wireless connection to hang for awhile and then start going again after awhile? [17:59] TKingdom: that was from feisty? [17:59] gutsy [17:59] thatoldchestnut: maybe a software bug, but why do you want to create a NTFS partition anyways? [18:00] thatoldchestnut: if you plan on creating a dual-boot environment you should install the other operating system first anyways [18:00] BabyDoll: if you want to get someone's attention best to use their nickname--you can type the first three or so letters and then hit the tab key [18:00] TKingdom: gutsy to hardy? [18:00] sp: well my drive is NTFS to begin with and I run win xp on here, I only recently found out that linux doesn't get along with NTFS [18:00] sorry bazhang [18:00] bazhang at the very end i see network controller: broadcom Corporation BMC94311MCG wlan [18:01] sp: so the other OS (windows) has already been installed [18:01] Hello, what could cause CUPS to stop working? It simply states that the job is complete even though it doesn't print. [18:01] bazhang: A friend of mine told me to run 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade', I guess I'm not familiar with what that does exactly. But compiz was working fine until I ran that and then restarted.. [18:01] thatoldchestnut: well, you cannot install (or should not) GNU/Linux on an NTFS partition, however, reading and writing should work fine [18:01] BabyDoll: though I dont have that card--there are two options that both work for ubuntu and that card the broadcom fw cutter iirc [18:01] !flash [18:01] 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 [18:01] is the flash problem fixed for sure? [18:02] thatoldchestnut: if you are trying to resize an NTFS partition make sure you defragmented that partition first [18:02] !flashissues [18:02] The Flash plugin installation has been broken for some time. A fix has been released now, although it might not have yet reached all mirrors. If the update fails to install Flash, try « sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-nonfree ; sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree » [18:02] white_eagle: yesh!!! [18:02] guys, having an issue with postfix-doc, when I do my morning updates, it seems to give me an error, I have tried to do aptitude remove, yet I get the error: ' Removing postfix-doc ...postconf: fatal: open /etc/postfix/main.cf for reading: No such file or directory dpkg: error processing postfix-doc (--remove): subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1' what can I do resolve this ? [18:02] thank god!! [18:02] HI guys need some advice. I am planning to buy a 500 GB external drive to back up my files on from windows. Can I partition, it, so that i can back up ubuntu documents [18:02] I was bored with gnash [18:02] bazhang: when i try to enable the firmware it said something about that cutter lol [18:02] sunseeker888: Try Gparted [18:02] bazhang: where can i get it so i can install ubuntu on my lappy? [18:03] a friend of mine can have both output and input in ALSA, and it works nice.. but Wine only shows output.. (means he cant talk in mic while using alsa, and OSS isnt an option when playing) [18:03] Thanks Tkingdom, can ubuntu see my files mp3 on usb, do i need to use same? [18:03] samba [18:03] Does anyone have any experience with kasumi (dictionary for use with SCIM and Anthy) not adding words to the dictionary when converting to kanji? [18:04] sweet, got ubuntu installed and windows xp is still working fine...thanks everyone [18:04] TKingdom: lsb_release -a what's that say? [18:04] are ubuntu's d/l servers down [18:05] psycholvlan, why that? [18:05] :o [18:05] BabyDoll: that would be in the restricted drivers--piece of cake really [18:05] psycholvlan: Nope, I just did an apt-get update to see [18:05] trying to get some programs and can't connect to us.archive.ubuntu.com [18:05] sp: yep, so last night I downloaded a stand-alone version of gparted and booted off that, and was able to set it so that the half of my HDD with windows was NTFS, and the half I intended to install ubuntu on was EXT3. it got me a little further than before, but crashed once again [18:05] My notification area seems broken, I can't bring up any menu's on it. For example, I can't click the "update" icon on it. Any ideas on a fix? [18:05] bazhang: i tried to enable it and it wouldnt let me [18:06] danbhfive: sorry, couldn't tell ya [18:06] thatoldchestnut: when exactly does the installer crash? you shouldn't touch the NTFS partition at all from within the installer [18:06] BabyDoll: this is in the livecd? [18:06] psycholvlan: Though I am using canadian repo not US [18:06] yes bazhang [18:06] want me to install first? === a3p is now known as a7p [18:06] my friend has problems with his usb flash drive 4 gigs, it doesn't get recognized on ubuntu [18:06] that could be the case [18:06] it is an JetFlashV30 [18:07] TKingdom: why not? whast the codename? [18:07] just did the sudo apt-get update and it went through all the servers but stopped at the us.archive.ubuntu.com [18:07] he just hops it in and it doesn't get recognized [18:07] Ketsuban: not sure about that though I do use kanji scim [18:07] danbhfive: Any particular reason you want to know? [18:07] I tryed to install compiz. i lost my windows borders although i installed emerald and executed emerald --replace. Here is the console message after a compiz --replace : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55110/ [18:07] it is ofcourse recognisable in windows [18:07] white_eagle: that sounds weird... USB flash drives usually work in a very specific way that is the same for all flash drives, so you should not be experiencing this problem [18:07] TKingdom: because of your earlier question [18:07] i need help getting my sound working [18:08] it is my friend sp [18:08] TKingdom: if you don't need help still, then nvm [18:08] white_eagle: any chance it does have some sort of encryption support or anything else "non-standard"? [18:08] Haha sorry, it's early. [18:08] Itaku, did you try 'alsamixer', its a terminal command ? [18:08] sp: it crashed after I'd manually selected in the installer which 'half' (the EXT3 half) I wanted ubuntu to go on. I pressed forward to start it, and it froze after about five or ten seconds [18:08] bazhang: do you have any words in the Kasumi dictionary? [18:08] white_eagle: also, what does the output of "lsusb -v" tell you about that drive? [18:08] lsb_release -a [18:08] BabyDoll: well the main thing is that your card is fairly well supported under ubuntu--the fact that there are drivers and it is recognized are big steps--getting it work will require a little work though [18:08] oops.. [18:08] no [18:08] danbhfive: [18:08] thatoldchestnut: okay, you might want to download the alternative install CD [18:09] Ketsuban: is that from the repos? the kasumi dictionary? [18:09] Hey [18:09] No LSB modules are available. [18:09] Is there something wrong with Flash?

[18:09] Or well, it is broken in Firefox [18:09] !flashissues > Cpudan80 (Please see the private messsage from ubotu) [18:09] Itaku, check with that, make sure the volume is turned up/un-mute [18:09] i dont know what my sound cord is though [18:09] bazhang: Hrm -- but it wont work in Firefox... [18:09] hey bazhang: im installing now [18:09] bazhang: yes. [18:09] TKingdom: ok ok, well, it looks like you are still running gutsy [18:09] it there a way to connect to other servers... like canada's?

If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [18:10] Cpudan80: right same here---though now the issue is well on its way to your mirror--I mean the fix not the issue haha [18:10] . [18:10] someone willing to help with CUPS? [18:10] it was at you... [18:10] me? [18:10] Ketsuban: just a moment let me install it [18:10] psycholvlan: just chang us.archive.ubuntu.com in the sources.list to ca.archive.ubuntu.com [18:10] TKingdom: Here is a command to check your installation, that you can try, it shouldn't hurt anything, unless you are really custom with your install [18:10] sp: rightio, cool. that's not the LTS one, is it? or the one for serves? [18:10] neverblue i dont know what my sound cord is though [18:10] psycholvlan what you mean connect to other servers? [18:10] where i find the sources list [18:10] TKingdom: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop^ [18:10] Itaku, use alsamixer [18:10] i'm new to linux [18:10] i did === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [18:11] sorry, typo. sp: rightio, cool. that's not the LTS one, is it? or the one for servers?* [18:11] neverblue i dont know which one my speakers are [18:11] i mean connect to other servers... my us.archive.ubuntu.com is down for me [18:11] thatoldchestnut: there should be an alternate install CD for the LTS version too iirc [18:11] Itaku, try each of them then [18:11] thatoldchestnut: but no, that is not the server version [18:11] danbhfive: Don't I already have that/ [18:11] psycholvlan: System>Administration>Software Sources, pick a different mirror [18:11] ok thanks [18:11] psycholvlan: You need to edit the file with admin privelege.So: alt-f2 then: gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [18:11] Pici bazhang -- Fix from ubotu works great, thanks [18:11] Itaku, does your hardware work, the sound card, the speakers, headphones, etc ? [18:11] TKingdom: the ^ changes it, make sure to include the ^ [18:12] psycholvlan: Or use Pici's suggestion :) [18:12] Okay, its going [18:12] neverblue it does [18:12] Itaku, then change settings in alsamixer should fix your issues [18:12] I got a new version of flash in update-manager. Is this one safe? [18:12] Cpudan80: yes! no problem ;] [18:12] does anyone know if there is an alsaconf in a package somewhere [18:12] again [18:12] neverblue i dont know which one my speakers are [18:12] i got a soundcard that needs re-configuring [18:13] i tried al of them [18:13] Ketsuban: it works here--what exactly is the error you get? [18:13] bazhang: no error, just that I don't get more than one entry in the dictionary added to the list when entering something. [18:13] neverblu do i need to be in reltek or NVidia? [18:13] Itaku, as I said before, try all the settings [18:13] danbhfive: Now I know why you mentioned custom install. It's reinstalling stuff like Evolution, Totem and Rhythmbox [18:13] D0pamine: try alsa-utils [18:14] What now? [18:14] bazhang: add 勝木 = まさき and 富増 = とます to the dictionary, then try and type them. [18:14] !alsa-utils [18:14] Sorry, I don't know anything about alsa-utils - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [18:14] Restart? [18:14] alsa-utils - ALSA utilities [18:14] is the flash plugin really fixed? [18:14] I gave a friend running Ubuntu some fonts to add to his ~/.fonts, but his computer doesn't see the bitmapped fonts after restart (it does see the ttf ones). He has to manually type xset +fp ~/.fonts [18:14] how do i change that setting? [18:14] Itaku, lspci will tell you which audio card you have (* do NOT paste the output from that command in the channel*) [18:14] * cellofellow has same question as pteauge [18:14] TKingdom: That command goes through and double checks that everything from ubuntu-desktop is actually installed [18:14] What do you set so that yo udon't have to manually add those fonts to the path every time?? [18:14] thanks marx2k_ [18:14] sp: is the alternate version of ubuntu essentially the same as the normal one? I can't quite seem to see a link anywhere to download it [18:14] Hmm, vlc worked perfectly for a while, now won't play a single movie file! (perfect audio, pink garbage instead of video) [18:14] im not using irssi so i cant see the bold in the **'s lol [18:15] danbhfive: Okay [18:15] hello people, i use GNOME and want to completely disable the standard minimize effect. I tried to set /apps/metacity/general/reduced_resources to TRUE with gconf-editor like i read , but i didnt help any idea ? thx ! [18:15] TKingdom: I figured that it might help ya, that if you had the full install, maybe it will fix something [18:15] Itaku, lspci will tell you which audio card you have ( do NOT paste the output from that command in the channel ) [18:15] !who | Itaku [18:15] Itaku: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [18:15] Yeah, its a good idea [18:16] let me restart [18:16] tuxfusion: Prefs-Appearance-Visual Effects tab?

And also is it posible to have customable startbutton for the main menu but so i can have it in size 30x30.. right now it can be resized to that size.. i must have fixed sizes like 24x24 or 32x32.. is this posible to change somewhere? [18:21] pteague: I just upgraded and it broke. :( [18:21] doh [18:21] bazhang: copying files 27% done [18:21] tuxfusion: Aha. Well, this is the Ubuntu channel, so I assumed you meant Gnome in Ubuntu :) [18:21] cellofellow: it broke for me earlier today as well--the mirrors have the new fix now though! [18:22] bazhang: but, I just installed the newest version. :/ [18:22] cellofellow: or will shortly ;] [18:22] does anyone know whether the alternate version of ubuntu for the desktop PC follows the same procedure when installing as the normal one, and is it unable to do anything the normal one can? [18:22] bazhang: should I meander over to archive.ubuntu.com instead of using the easynews mirror for now? [18:22] cellofellow: I did as well--the broken and fixed versions two hours apart haha [18:22] cellofellow> last time i ended up just downloading the file & running the installer... i think the problem is adobe keeps changing the file breaking the md5sum [18:23] maximilion, yes strange there is no GNOME channel nor a openbox channel , fluxbox guy are freaks the yscred me away , and cause i think itz some basic GNOME/GTK thing ( i t looks like th standard meatacitya ani) i thougt id finally find a solution =) [18:23] thatoldchestnut: the alternate installer uses a text only install method (no install gui). However, the installed distrubution is just as capable as the normal livecd installed.

[18:24] BabyDoll: so you went through the entire process and then it hung on the installing files at 27%? what did you do then? [18:24] Does anyone know a command to output your drivers version? [18:24] video card drivers* [18:25] hi buddies [18:25] IS THERE A WAY TO PLAY MUSIC FILES THAT ARE ON A WINDOWS COMPUTER ON THIS NETWORK? [18:25] Hello :> Is there any possible way I might be able to config ALSA to force all sound output to be 48000Hz on playback [18:25] !caps | dan__ [18:25] dan__: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [18:25] caps dan__ [18:25] drebellion: thanks. are instructions provided within the installer for the alternate version for how to install it correctly? I suppose what I'm saying is, will an idiot like me have any trouble? haha [18:25] (oops, sorry) [18:25] bazhang: any help [18:25] thatoldchestnut: its not hard, you just won't be used to it. if you concentrate and take your time, you'll be fine. [18:26] anyone had problems with the last kernel update on Gutsy and suspend/hibernate? [18:26] thatoldchestnut: I used the alternate version it has the proper options for you to easily get through the installation. [18:26] dan__: yes. set up the folder as 'shared' (on windows) and mount the share on linux. [18:26] cool, thanks. I shall give it a go [18:26] thanks all for your help [18:26] BabyDoll: what did you do after it hung at 27%? [18:27] it gave me an error then stopped [18:27] does anyone know why sound in (microphone) would wver stop working? [18:27] My notification area seems broken, I can't bring up any menu's on it. For example, I can't click the "update" icon on it. Any ideas on a fix? [18:27] stephans: I have no idea, but I have an intel hda based chipset and in 7.10 the volume on the microphone goes down on every boot [18:28] my perfect laptop installation doesn't suspend after closing screen since I"m [18:28] To get it to work I have to switch the microphone source from line in, then back to microphone :> [18:28] BabyDoll: is this adsl? [18:28] (I'm using 2.6.22-14-generic) [18:28] ya bell is dsl [18:28] bobbob1016: Have you tried removing and re-adding the notification area? [18:28] i'm getting a new hard drive today, and it out-spec's the hard drive currently holding my OS. Assuming it would be a performance improvement to move the OS to the new drive, what is the best way to copy the entire OS entact to the new drive with the minimum amount of time and labor? [18:29] Pici: Yeah, a few times [18:29] BabyDoll: well you can try again with the livecd, or try the alternate cd if that chokes again [18:29] bobbob1016: Does anything else on the notification area work? [18:29] MrBL: I just solved that problem (2 hours ago) by using Envy to upgrade my ndivida drivers. [18:29] Excuse me, I have a dual boot machine, ubuntu + vista. Is it possible to run the installed vista in a virtual machine under ubuntu? Thank you. [18:29] Is there a Mac Panther type theme? [18:30] bazhang: the alt cd? what u mean lol [18:30] how can I install pygtk in ubuntu ? [18:30] !themes > maximilion (Please see the private messsage from ubotu) [18:30] MrBL: see bug 180907 at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/180907 [18:30] Pici: No, programs in the notification area don't, my battery percentage isn't shown, and network-manager doesn't list wifi available. I can change the volume, and see the calendar though. [18:30] gtt: maybe you could do a fresh install, then copy over /home, and take a look at /msg ubotu !clone [18:30] gtt: didn't think that NVidia would screw up. I'll give it a try right now, thx! [18:30] Pici: The shutdown button works too. [18:30] Pici: Lovely, thanks! :) [18:31] BabyDoll: first lets try the livecd once more then we can discuss other options ;] [18:31] Hello everyone [18:31] bazhang: im already trying it lol [18:31] wow this is ridiculous, i'm having some weird issue trying to install on a comp with an ATI radeon HD 2400 [18:31] danbhfive: i forgot to mention, reinstalling the OS was my least favorite option (my /home is on a separate partition, so it's not that bad of an ordeal) because i just did it a week ago. [18:31] its scanning files [18:31] basically it defaulted to 1024x768 resolution, i tried to change it to 1440 x 900 but it's glitching out and now i can't even get into X :/ [18:31] it might be the quickest option for me though. [18:32] BabyDoll: new to linux? [18:32] is there a way to reset my desktop settings? [18:32] uhm im new on my linux [18:32] Pici: The battery icon changes as I unplug/plug in the power cord, and the Update Manager tells me if I have to reboot, after installing updates via synaptic. [18:32] bazhang: just ubuntu lol im use to gentoo and freebsd lol [18:33] dont know how to use it :S [18:33] JoshJ: Try Envy http://albertomilone.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.HomePage [18:33] im using ubuntu [18:33] ya its hangin up again at 27 [18:33] bobbob1016: My n-m doesnt give me signal either. [18:33] tkingdom: i'm in irssi on tty1... === never|mobi is now known as neversfelde|mobi [18:33] Oh [18:33] TKingdom: i can't get X to start at all right now, it keeps blinking and throwing me back to a tty [18:33] !envy | JoshJ TKingdom [18:33] JoshJ TKingdom: envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » [18:33] i am able to navigate to music files in file browser, but i am having trouble reading those files from the music playre itself [18:34] it WAS working a minute ago until i tried to change resolution [18:34] JoshJ: Did you install the ATI driver? I think you need it for ATI X1xxx and up. How did you change your resolution, via gui or terminal? [18:34] i just need to know how to reset the resolution via command line [18:34] do i need ot have an entry in fstab for the smb share? [18:34] via gui [18:34] BabyDoll: then it might be an issue with the cd itself--either the iso is corrupted, the media is faulty. or the burn speed was too fast [18:34] bazhang: it stopped again lol [18:34] cellofellow,maximilion it was an OpenBox animation , disabled it with obconfig , thx guys ! [18:34] i burned it probally too fast lol [18:34] system-administration-graphics and screen or something [18:34] Pici: What do you mean? If I click n-m, it used to show me available wifi, it won't anymore, that is what is happening with everything there. [18:34] Why when i completely remove a package from Synaptic and then try to install a newer version of the same app, it says that an older version is detected in a channel ??? how to completely remove apps ? [18:35] BabyDoll: you should first check the md5 sum to be sure the iso is not corrupted, also try burning at a very slow speed [18:35] JoshJ: gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf scroll to near the bottom usually its the depth 24 settings it will try them from greatest to least [18:35] i tried to change it to the widescreen plug and play one [18:35] k thanks [18:35] bobbob1016: What version of Ubuntu are you running? [18:35] JoshJ: which monitor is it? [18:35] though i guess it'll be nano instead :P [18:35] gtt: some dell monitor [18:36] i have like 20 modelines, could that be the problem? [18:36] Hi all. I have a rar file here i'd like to extract, and it is passworded and i know the password, but every time at the end of the extraction it deletes the file and asks me the password again, after it copies the file all over again! Can anybody help me solve this? [18:36] the sheer number of modelines is unlikely a problem [18:37] JoshJ: Open a terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal) and type "cd /etc/X11/" then type "ls" without the quotes, if you see "xorg.conf" with a date or backup or something behind it, it should mean you have a backup, if you just copy the backup over the current one, it should bring you back to what it was at. [18:37] ah, Dell SE198WF is what xorg.conf has [18:37] Pici: Gutsy [18:37] bobbob1016: k, lemme check for a backup [18:37] !flash [18:37] 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 [18:37] yeah [18:37] I've also had ok luck with renaming it, and letting xorg generate a new one.. if you're on gutsy or higher it should work [18:37] !gnash [18:37] An open source flash replacement. It is still beta software. For current status or for more info http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/ [18:38] and since xorg's able to identify your monitor, that's a good shot too. [18:38] "detlef@MD97600:~$ LANG=C apropos recurse; recurse: nothing appropriate." Where can one find a manpage for this Samba command? [18:38] gtt: fair enough, but the default install it didn't get widescreen :/ [18:38] hey what was that command for the usb again? [18:38] JoshJ: You should still use envy as suggested above. If that doesn't work, do "cd /etc/X11/" then "mv xorg.conf xorg.conf-broken" then "mv xorg.conf(most recent backup) xorg.conf" [18:39] please repeat it [18:39] whoever said it to me [18:39] has anyone gotten Pidgin to connect to iChat Server running on Mac OS X Server? [18:39] bobbob1016: hang on, i'm going to restart, give me the envy thing when i get back ok? [18:39] JoshJ: You might need to do "sudo" before the last two commands, not sure. [18:39] JoshJ I won't be here [18:39] since i just tried to reset the X stuff [18:39] smultron: probably the wrong channel for that [18:39] Hi all. I have a rar file here i'd like to extract, and it is passworded and i know the password, but every time at the end of the extraction it deletes the file and asks me the password again, after it copies the file all over again! Can anybody help me solve this? [18:39] yeah, i did the xorg.conf stuff in tty2 already [18:39] brb [18:40] bazhang: already tried #pidgin [18:40] JoshJ: I have to leave soon, class is over soon, others can help though [18:40] Anyone knows a good pdf writer ? [18:40] smultron: I was thinking ##apple [18:40] my friend has problems with his usb flash drive 4 gigs, it doesn't get recognized on ubuntu [18:40] JoshJ: probably true...I experienced something similar on my va1912wb, after you enable the restricted driver (or use envy) your proper display mode should return [18:40] dangit [18:40] please repeat that command [18:40] someone told it to me, and I haven't wrote it somewhere [18:40] Hi all. I have a rar file here i'd like to extract, and it is passworded and i know the password, but every time at the end of the extraction it deletes the file and asks me the password again, after it copies the file all over again! Can anybody help me solve this? [18:40] sorry [18:40] i accidentaliy pressed the enter key again [18:41] meant to press Shift [18:41] hello [18:41] Arelis, laptop, huh ;) [18:41] ? [18:42] is ubuntu-minimal a meta package? [18:42] right, it's working now in that i have a nonwidescreen GUI now [18:42] can some tell me how to delete a installation of ubuntu [18:42] JoshJ: Someone will show you how to get envy, I have to go now. [18:42] vicky_: just overwrite it with something else. [18:42] system-administration-screens and graphics; now what do i set this monitor as? [18:42] or do i actually *need* envy to get widescreen? [18:42] i try that [18:43] JoshJ: Envy isn't supported here, so I dont think anyone is going to be helping you get it. [18:43] it did not work [18:43] you dont have to have envy for widescreen [18:43] !doesn't work | vicky_ [18:43] vicky_: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [18:44] ubuntu its the more easy distro for restricted format right>? [18:44] i have install ubuntu several time on my laptop [18:44] s there a channel for squireel mail? [18:44] someone told it to me, and I haven't wrote it somewhere [18:44] the command [18:44] recent ubgrade to restricted adobe flash player breaks you-tube? [18:44] how do I get syntax highlighting working for vim? [18:44] for fixing the usb [18:44] and i need to delete the one that i am not using === crd1b is now known as crdlb [18:44] cfedde: *only* youtube, or youtube's the only thing you've tried? [18:44] instead, try the restrcted drivers [18:45] when i boot up my system i am ask to select which one to load [18:45] ? [18:45] hello folks-does anyone know of a channel for squirrel mail or ISP config? [18:45] Excuse me, I have a dual boot machine, ubuntu + vista. Is it possible to run the installed vista in a virtual machine under ubuntu? Thank you. [18:45] ahhhh [18:45] LjL: that's the one I tried. [18:45] sidelil, no [18:45] !flashissues | cfedde [18:45] cfedde: The Flash plugin installation has been broken for some time. A fix has been released now, although it might not have yet reached all mirrors. If the update fails to install Flash, try « sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-nonfree ; sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree » [18:45] i have install [18:45] LjL: thanks! [18:45] There really is no way of getting Flash working in Firefox on AMD64 except install Firefox 32bit? [18:45] withe_eagle thanks [18:45] white_eagle: wrong... i've been able to do it. === cvdpr is now known as CVD-PR [18:45] ubuntu 7.10, metest86* [18:45] vicky_, if you have two installations in two different partitions, and you want to get rid of one of them, and free the space, that won't be easy. you will certainly need to backup your data. [18:46] !gparted > vicky_ (vicky_, see the private message from Ubotu) [18:46] white_eagle,sidelil: the trick is to convert the vista partition into a vmware virtual machine using the vmware convertor [18:46] i know that for sure [18:47] tell how i can format my hard drive and i just reload it [18:47] Hey ubuntu people. I'm following this howto: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox , but on "sudo module-assistant auto-install virtualbox-ose" I get the error message saying "Bad luck, your kernel headers were not found" or something like that. I try to follow the hints in that message, but without succes. What could I do? [18:47] it'll take time and hard drive space, but it worked very well for me. [18:47] vicky_: format the whole drive? the Ubuntu installer will give you that option. [18:47] hi, i'm looking for a C or C++ IDE [18:47] gtt: ok. I use VirtualBox, but I can install vmware if needed. Can you suggest me a guide or something like this? Is it something difficult? [18:48] i did that. that how come i end up like this [18:48] i used a separate FAT32 partition to store the created vmware image [18:48] i try it once more [18:48] hope it work [18:48] hi, i'm looking for a C or C++ IDE, anyone knows a good one with all the essential tools? [18:48] i dont know what i was doing wrong [18:49] im having trouble installing the gtk developer libraries, can somebody help me? [18:49] sidelil: vmware-server is in the gutsy canonical partner repos and is very easy to install--once you have downloaded it you need to go to vmware.com and get the free key [18:49] Anyone got Gnash working in Youtube etc on their AMD64 PC? [18:49] anyway i try once more [18:49] i need to install pango, but pango requires libpng [18:49] tobias_: try « sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) » [18:49] sidelil: virtual box should work too, but if it doesnt have a convertor of its own (dont remember seeing one) you can use the vmware convertor... there's a guide on howtoforge for using the convertor. [18:49] and libpng cannot be compiled because it has errors [18:49] so what to do? [18:49] hi why is it that with some fullscreen games I can still see the top and bottom menu bars? [18:49] LjL, it says there is no installable candidate [18:49] maximilion: not sure about gnash--but flash is working once again--should be in a mirror near you soon [18:49] also can i set up a remote access VPN with ubuntu [18:49] hi, i'm looking for a C or C++ IDE, anyone knows a good one with all the essential tools? [18:50] OK, worth waiting for then? [18:50] bob: eclipse? [18:50] CSABA: why would you need to *compile* libpng? [18:50] bazhang, gtt: thank you both! [18:50] maximilion: yesh! [18:50] bob__: eclipse can do c and c++ [18:50] isn't that a java? [18:50] "detlef@MD97600:~$ LANG=C apropos recurse; recurse: nothing appropriate." Where can one find a manpage for this Samba command? [18:50] LjL: well pango says there is no libpng [18:50] np [18:50] bob__: written in java but has plugins for tons others [18:50] tobias_: « apt-cache policy linux-headers-$(uname -r) » [18:50] bazhang: I installed restricted and gnash... easy to purge/remove? [18:50] bob: it has a plugin for c/c++ [18:50] which is more friendly or easy to setup eclipse or netbeans? [18:50] CSABA: sudo apt-get install libpng3 libpng12-0? [18:50] And why is Ubufox needed? [18:51] so i can just get it trough synaptic or apt-get? [18:51] thanks ill try that [18:51] maximilion: just exta features [18:51] LjL: I think you mean tobias_ [18:51] LjL: Installed: none, Candidate: none, version table (empty) [18:51] I thought Firefox plugins were platform independent :) [18:51] can i set up a remote access VPN with [18:51] maximilion: those are extensions [18:51] ah. [18:51] ubuntu [18:51] tobias_: err, foir the linux headers, yes, for libpng, no [18:51] maximilion: plugins are not, unfortunately. [18:51] tobias, hey there name fellow :P [18:51] tobias_: the package name being? [18:51] or [18:51] maximilion: sooper sekrit partnership with ubuntu (sshhh!) === Flatulento_joe is now known as Loco_aullador [18:51] tobias_: yo :) [18:51] sidelil : unfortunately i know of know thorough guide...though you will probably be able to figure it out... free up a bunch of space and remove everything you can from the vista install. shrink your vista partition as small as you can. create a separate fat32 partition that's big enough to accomodate the vmware image, and then use the vmware convertor. [18:51] eclipse and its c plugin is available trough synapstic or apt-get? [18:52] LjL, linux-headers-2.6.20-15-386 [18:52] bob: no download it from eclipse's site, search on google [18:52] tobias_: uh, what ubuntu version are you on [18:52] LjL: feisty [18:52] so it's a tar.gz archive? [18:53] So I won't need Ubufox when the proper Flash plugin comes? [18:53] bob: yes but if you unpack it you can just double-click on the eclipse file and it will start [18:53] tobias_: why do you have the 386 kernel installed rather than the generic? [18:53] and then download the c++ plugin and copy it into the eclipse directory [18:53] LjL, no idea, I do choose generic in grub [18:53] have you considered Kdevelop instead? [18:53] of Eclipse? [18:53] tobias_: well but if uname -r says 386, it means it's 386 that is running. anyway, pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list please [18:53] oh ok [18:54] LjL, right, on it [18:54] kdevelop? never heard of it [18:54] sorry, i lost connection, let me ask again. . . [18:54] Does any one know anything about changing the logo at the top left corner of the screen? [18:54] if I want to print out an environment variable, i should just write echo $VARIABLE_NAME right? [18:54] hey guys all my devices attached to usbs are not working (external hd, scaner, printer, bluetooth, cardreader, camrea, same when I attach memory stick) [18:54] tobias_: you really should be running generic anyway (and *before* compiling those vbox modules) [18:54] .topic [18:54] CSABA: yes.

I am very comfortable w/ linux (debian) and my friend who has never used linux before wants to install linux. I told her to try ubuntu. She wanted to dual boot though, so she made 3 logical partitions using partition magic. She boots the installer and chooses "custom". this is where she gets lost. I have never actually used ubuntu like I said, but in debian if you don't need to make any partitions you can choose fr [20:20] I'm looking for some information on using growisofs. I've already used read the man pages. I'm trying to look for explanation of some of the --use-the-force-luke switches to try and diagnose my errors. [20:21] skopii: you got cut off at "you can choose fr" [20:21] lol Flannel [20:21] from already available partitons and associate them with mountpoints [20:22] skopii: is she using the Desktop CD or the Alternate CD to install? (desktop is GUI, alternate CD uses debian installer) [20:22] ie if your disc is already partitioned just skip that step and start formatting/setting up mount points [20:22] wow, apparently this problem has been around since _dapper_ [20:22] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/dapper/+source/maxima/+bug/92710 [20:22] Flannel: I am pretty sure she is using the desktop, perhaps I should tell her to use the ALlt... [20:22] I have a posting on my growisofs issue: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=690527 [20:22] she says she clicks the "installer" from the desktop cd [20:23] well s/destop cd/Desktop/ [20:23] skopii: Thats the Desktop. But, it should allow her to. However, Feisty had a bug where you had to actually use the partitioner to create the root partition. No idea whether it was fixed in Gutsy or not, so if, even after she has moved on and selected mountpoints, she gets a "you need a /" error, she'll just need to go back, delete/recreate that partition === mheath_ is now known as mheath [20:24] Flannel: trying that now...thanks ;] [20:24] someone has succesfully installed ubuntu on ASUS Pro57SN (T8300/3G Ram/Geforce9500M GS (512)) Notebook?

[21:10] The recent kernel update broke my touchpad driver. [21:10] Oh, and the flash update broke flash [21:10] Bodsda, because i did, but this is ot [21:10] bluefoxx, true, === no0tic_ is now known as no0tic [21:11] aaawwww,.,. Linux mint is the windows of linux [21:12] erUSUL: Thanks for the tip. I'll experiment with that. [21:12] what's a good vulnerability scanner?

[21:12] hi..i just wanna ask..if is it ok to download edubuntu-desktop .. im currently using ubuntu... [21:12] I'm on a 'normal' network, adresses are 192.168.0.xx and mask 255.255.255.0 - should I disable roaming mode and enter IP and mask for Ubuntu? [21:12] erUSUL: Alright. [21:12] wolfman2323, yer [21:12] KiD_ChAoS, a bit off topic, please take is somewhere else [21:12] KiD_ChAoS: nessus [21:12] neverblue: maybe a sudo touch /etc/postfix/main.cf ? [21:13] wolfman2323: edubuntu is basically some themes and packages that are in the repos its perfectly safe [21:13] wolfman2323: yes [21:13] erUSUL: they really should try to avoid updates that do that... I mean, seriously, this is supposed to be a consumer OS. [21:13] erUSUL, the doesnt exist [21:13] neverblue: then purge the package and install again [21:13] s/the/it/ [21:13] bodsa... rebellion.. even if i have.. kubuntu downloaded ? [21:13] thank you DRebellion when neverblue would not [21:13] wolfman2323, yes [21:13] wolfman2323: you can install as many different desktops as you like :) [21:13] neverblue: touch will create an empty file maybe that will appease dpkg and you can remove the package [21:13] ah [21:14] hello is there any command that shows where a program is installed? (thanks in advance) [21:14] bodsda... rebellion.. so i will have.. the option..... everytime i log in?? [21:14] ufuntu: perhaps which [21:14] ufuntu: whereis program [21:14] ufuntu: which works too [21:14] ufuntu: use synaptics or dpkg -l [21:14] wolfman2323, not sure never done it,.,. just no you can [21:14] oh where. n/m [21:14] Any network pro here that could help me with the above? :) [21:14] or dpkg -L [21:15] maximilion, yes you could do the above [21:15] What can I do for a simple write-speed-test of a device? [21:15] ufuntu: the dpkg command works if you have a package name and want to know what files it's installed. whereis/which work if you have the name of a binary and want to find out where it is. [21:15] KiD_ChAoS: Good, is there a purpose for roaming mode? [21:15] jorgenpt: hdparm can do testing. [21:15] nice, thanks erUSUL [21:15] ok thanks.. [21:15] hi. Someone here with macbook santa rosa? [21:15] Companies with 20 Linux laptops? :) [21:15] where does linux save the source that i have downloaded with apt-get source ... [21:15] brb [21:15] jorgenpt: hdparm -tT /dev/device [21:16] glacier: in the current dir I think. [21:16] i think roaming mode lets ubuntu roam between interfaces like if it could get online with the wired connection, and roaming was turned on in the wifi connection it would roam there to reach the internet [21:16] glacier: in the current directory [21:16] right.. thx :-) [21:16] maximilion, i don't use it [21:16] I don't have a network like wlan0 on iwconfig ... it's a broadcom wireless... [21:16] KiD_ChAoS: in ubuntu roaming mode simply means that network-manager is in charge for autoconfiguring the interface [21:16] i've installed pulseaudio (using hardy heron alpha 4), and it doesn't show up in the prefs. any tips? [21:16] hdparm does only reads, doesn't it? [21:17] weltschmerz: /join #ubuntu+1 [21:17] KiD_ChAoS: if you disable it you use the normal /etc/network/interfaces file [21:17] weltschmerz: you need to install padevchooser [21:17] weltschmerz: that's what adds the GUI configuration stuff [21:17] erUSUL, ic [21:17] !bcm43xx | k0p [21:17] k0p: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx [21:18] erUSUL: thanks a lot...

[22:01] DJAdmiral, mine is working just fine [22:01] I have an SD card for my Asus eee. If I don't care about sharing files with any Windows boxes, is there any reason to not repartition it with ext3 or something other than vfat? [22:01] fesha, I've never used an SD card before, but in all likeliness [22:01] DJAdmiral, mine is working [22:01] it should be in /mnt or /media [22:01] what are your AIM account settings?

Is it possible to buy an internal hard drive and just isntall it on that? If so, what kind? I don't know if I want to dual boot or not. I'm over WIndows [22:03] DJAdmiral, yes those are my settings [22:03] can anyone help me to retrive my password ? [22:04] RoRza: you can't [22:04] !info nvu > mohbana [22:04] why not ? [22:04] RoRza: you could try cracking it with john [22:04] anybody knows how to choose your rapget directory??? should it be like c:\downloads, or do you have to put the whole /home/¬/.wine/.... ???? [22:04] RoRza, reboot the box and choose "recovery " from the grub menu - the console right at the very very start - then well when the box boots type "passwd YourUserNameHere" and choose your new password and type reboot and all will be good [22:04] marcool: You are rapidly reaching end of life on that release. If you have gotten this much service out of it, you can afford a little down time, or make room and run dual until you get the new one just the way you want it [22:04] anyone testes hardy heron already (alpha4 release)? [22:04] PLEASE Help: this Error is the only thing keeping me from formatting my Windows Partition...

[22:05] Good evening, I have a little bit of a problem with gaming on Linux - I can get things to work, but less good then on Windows. I basically despise myself for having to dual-boot XP for just gaming ... more people who feel the same about this? [22:05] drpcken: which application? [22:05] I feel fine about having a dual-boot. [22:05] I have been using hardy for a couple of weeks now and its running well [22:05] the splash screen is the one that u see when ur os is loading right?? [22:05] wolfman2323: yes [22:05] Sure, if WINE was better I wouldn't be using Windows. [22:05] I feel the same Kein.

[22:06] But it still isn't running what I need it to. [22:06] Also, to be Dual-booting XP ( on a different HDD ) Should I do Windows first and reinstall Linux later? [22:06] It doesn't matter as long as you're able to install GRUB again. [22:06] Blue_Sassley: It can never be perfect.. it is designed to run Windows apps. :) [22:06] guys, i am trying to install something on breezy badger, and getting this W: Couldn't stat source package list http://us.archive.ubuntu.com breezy/main Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/us.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_breezy_main_binary-i386_Packages) - stat (2 No such file or directory) [22:06] Okido, thanks!

[23:18] jmworx, ah ok can u change your session before you login? === bod_ is now known as Bodsda [23:18] This is a stationary TCI comp :P With AOpen motherboard and SiS chipset [23:18] It doesnt really have any settings...\-: [23:19] jmworx, should be able to change in between kde and gnome b4 u login [23:19] Zeek15: I still want to log in as gnome. I just want the WM to start when I login [23:19] One sec, lemme see if I can't get some more specific criteria [23:19] Tredje0ye-> umm just having a desktop does not mean one is relagated to wired, am using a desktop but it uses wifi [23:19] Oh, so you want KWin to start up instead of Metacity? [23:20] I have this crappy ZyDAS wifi USB dongle ^^;; It made my ubuntu crash [23:20] ...or Compiz? [23:20] how do i bring a process back to memory [23:20] Tredje0ye-> then get a nicer one? :) [23:20] he just turned off compiz and it messed it up [23:20] Tredje0ye, thats nice [23:20] Zeek15, turn compiz back on? [23:20] my eclipse closed down and i can no longer see it on the taskbar but its still running because i can see it in the system monitor [23:20] So I'm guessing wired is the way to go [23:21] seriously this is going out of hand [23:21] alsamixer [23:21] KenSentMe: I'm gonna be away for a bit, if that fails try sudo dpkg -r --force-remove-reinstreq mfc5860cncupswrapper [23:21] this is jmworx prob he is having [23:21] how do i get my sound to work [23:21] mohbana-> you can kill your eclipse daemon if it is a daemon [23:21] maybe u guys can help him out more then me, bit past my knowledge [23:21] nickrud, ok, thanks [23:21] amenado, i dont want to do that [23:21] The thing that baffles me is that this is a standard RealTek 8139 network card, should work instantly...

(besides emacs i dont like it that much) [23:22] how can i see what drivers i need for the wifi ?? [23:23] Yanch0: Check if it's on your dekstop, maybe a window is layered above it...

[23:32] Valde, using wine to run apps off your 'installed' windows drive. often caused issues.. Anyone wanna help me install wine but keep the files on my current harddrive.... [23:32] zlaja, zlaja im constntly pm'ing you,. reply [23:32] Wireless connection problem, under system->network settings Ubuntu sees the wireless eth1. It activates. Under INterface properties however when I put in the connection name the interface doesn't find it. [23:32] am [23:32] i need to register? [23:32] Valde, you now have me totally confused then. :) [23:32] yassine, what version of ubuntu are you running, how much memory does your computer, have , what cpu , how many active applicatiions do you have running when this happens, does it freeze and you njeed to reboot or does it freeze for a bit and then worksp properly ?

[23:34] Ok, so here's where I stand: I got a stationary computer, AOpen motherboard, SiS chipset, RealTek ethernet and soundcard, basicly standard stuff that should've worked instantly. I installed Ubuntu using both install discs, desktop and alternate. I've tried all settings in the network manager. Roaming mode, static adress, DHCP, ipv4 zero zone conf (?), ifconfig, ifup, mii-tool (to set 100baseT-FD). The only time I've managed to get on [23:34] zlaja, did you read the message it gave you> [23:34] ? [23:34] Kaelten: do the disks show up in the config for the controller? [23:34] Zeek15: you're there? [23:34] ya [23:34] bother... [23:34] does Ubuntu offers a "video codec pack", like k-lite mega pack for windows? [23:34] zlaja, so youve registered? [23:34] how [23:35] zlaja, ask in #freenode if it's not clear [23:35] ok, rebooted and still getting same error with festival...sigh [23:35] Valde, you want to resize your existing windows install. to free up some hd space to install ubuntu to. [23:35] Tredje0ye, you got cut off and try to be a little more brief [23:35] zlaja, read the message ubotu gave you [23:35] #freenode [23:35] Hey guys, for some reason my browser wants to open PHP files on my server when I try to connect to PHP files NOT in the Apache root directory. Does anyone know what could be causing this? [23:35] Dr_willis, Yea [23:35] !register | zlaja [23:35] zlaja: By default, only registered users can send private messages - Information about registering your Freenode nick can be found at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration [23:35] zlaja: /join #freenode [23:35] Dr_willis, Dual Boot [23:35] Valde, vista can do that, or the ubuntu isntaller can do it also. [23:35] tcpdumpgod, try checking in the forum www.ubuntuforums.org [23:35] Dr_willis, What must i do though :D [23:36] zlaja, can we not just talk in here? [23:36] kavelot: yes, pretty easy to install codecs through the installer [23:36] Valde, or use a live cd with gparted, resize the widnows drive. free up some space at the end - leave it 'unallocated' - and restart the linux installer. and tell it to use the unallocated space. [23:36] hmm [23:36] im working on registration wait [23:36] Valde, the Installer walked you through this I thoght.. [23:36] sup guys [23:36] Pelo: CPU : AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000+ MEM 4G, i was running eclipse and FF and pidgin, it freezes and i have had to reboot even when running other application this happens too [23:36] Tredje0ye, what is the nature of the problem, skip the comp's pedigree for now [23:36] Can anyone help? For some reason, I can't connect to my network wirelessly if I have WEP enabled(Yet I can connect without WEP, or with an ethernet cord) [23:36] quick Q -- how do I apt-get a newer version of an app than apt knows about [23:36] Owleto: but can I install them without having the videos that needs the codec I want? [23:36] yassine, did you install the amd64 version of ubuntu or the i386 version ? [23:37] Pelo: I can't connect to my network or get online [23:37] hey - I have a problem restoring a deleted partition (using parted) - is there anyone who can help with this? thanks.. already tried #parted [23:37] Pelo i've looked around there... but i dont know exactaly what im looking for if you know what I mean. === Spencer- is now known as SpencerW [23:37] Pelo this started to happen only today and the only thing i did today is to upgrade the kernel since it was suggested by the synaptic package manager === SpencerW is now known as Spence [23:37] !nickspam > Spence (Spence, see the private message from Ubotu) [23:37] Does anybody in here have vmware? [23:37] Pelo PHP is working, as seen here. http://finehoes.servebeer.com/info.php [23:37] quick Q -- how do I apt-get a newer version of an app than apt knows about ---- thanks, devin [23:37] kavelot: yes... enable the repos first, then just select what you need [23:37] root____1, the automatic updater will keep you updated to the latest versions of stuff that apt knows about [23:37] @TImandtom - is your router setup for WEP? [23:37] Tredje0ye, I would suggest asking in #networking for the network stuff, and it might depend on how you connect to the internet for the other stuff [23:37] gonna try, thanks [23:37] MrSiebel, I imagine a lot of people do. Its very popular [23:38] Pelo but if you try to go here: http://finehoes.servebeer.com/torrentflux/ [23:38] LjL is there any way to get apt to get a newer version than the one it knows about? [23:38] Pelo: no i installed a x86 distro on the amd64 infrastructure [23:38] It tries to open the PHP file. [23:38] root_: you'll have to either find a newer deb download it and use dpkg to install it, or download a tarball and configure it yourself [23:38] root____1: no [23:38] jj: As of right now, no, because when I do set it up, it won't let me connect to it anymore(even if I get the right password) [23:38] If I install Java/JDK, (since JRE will not work) - will that be like JRE + Extras, or is it completely different and has nothing to do with running Java in my browser? [23:38] yassine, can you boot the previous kernel from the grub boot menu ? try it out , see if the problem still occurs [23:38] Dr_willis I have windowsxp on my system and I would like to install and run vmware on xp and then put feisty fawn on vmware [23:38] tcpdumpgod, I don't know anything about this stuff [23:38] I'm having just a bit of trouble [23:39] MrSiebel, thats doable. theres premade 'vmware appliance' images on the vmware site. that makes it even easier. [23:39] LjL you suck [23:39] hi all, can anyone tell me where to go to install GLib 2.0 development headers [23:39] root____1, please be nice to the helpers [23:39] LjL, how did you request he leave? [23:40] LjL, you are no fun, I was already to convince him you were the best in the world [23:40] @Timandtom - it depends on your wireless PC card - some support only the older WEP format, there is the WEP key in interface properties - I assume you've been there? [23:40] bod_, he runs the channel [23:40] oh your ops,.,.ok [23:40] cole: get libglib2.0-dev [23:40] Dr_Willis I was able to install vmware for xp... now it asks me for a login to a server [23:40] any takers for a parted issue? [23:40] Pelo: was just a kick, you can still try [23:40] What server and do I have to pay for it? [23:40] CyberGabber no i dont see it [23:40] bad move shouting at an op,.ha [23:40] ohhh ok thanx starnestommy [23:40] bod_: bad move shouting like that at anyone. [23:41] true [23:41] Pelo: the older kernel is no more existing in the /boot/grub/menu.lst i assume that the upgrade removed it [23:41] MrSiebel, the vmware server is running inthe background. :0 thats how vmware works. Just hit connect. [23:41] I'll just state the problem and if anyone can help let me know.. [23:41] how to install kde4 under Gutsy ? [23:41] !kde4 > FFighter (FFighter, see the private message from Ubotu) [23:41] LjL, but now "i" no longer beleive it, you crushed my perfect image of you with your meanness [23:41] ... [23:41] MrSiebel, its running on 'localhost' :) the machineyou are on. Assuming you Installed the vmwareserver program. Not just the client. [23:41] haha,.,.unluck LjL [23:41] Pelo: what meanness, LjL just loomed large ;) [23:41] I accidentally deleted a partition, then recreated it successfully using mkpart, then stupidly deleted it again. now when I use mkpart again the filesystem type doesn't come up in 'print' and I can't fsck or mount it.. how can I get this partition back? [23:41] 'rescue' didn't work [23:42] /msg nickserv register jj [23:42] jj: I use the same type of WEP at my dads house. At least, I think so. 26 numbers for the password. [23:42] yassine, kernel upgrades do not remove the previous kernels just for this purpose, you can try installing the previous kernels from synaptic, that will atleast give you an option [23:42] I'm currently running subversion, with apache2 (dav_sv module). I made some changes to SVN's config file (/etc/subversion/config). My question - do I need to restart SVN? If I do, how do I do that? It's not in the /etc/init.d/ directory [23:42] nickrud, but must we all get crushed under the weight of his ego ? [23:42] Mr_willis It asks for a hostname username and password? [23:42] Before it will allow me to connect [23:42] visualdensity, you might have better luck asking in #apache [23:43] MrSiebel, it may be time to hit the vmware web site and read its docs. Ijust hit 'connect' on my setup. It may be you have the vmware client, installed, and dident isntall the full vmwareserver package. [23:43] Pelo: I think I see what he did in a totally different light. He simply checked the guy with a very effective tactic. [23:43] Pelo, his ego, saved us from the evil of root___1 [23:43] Pelo: fair enough. ciao. ;) [23:43] now, -> ontopic [23:43] TImandtom - did you try System->Administration->Networking->Wireless Connections->Properties then set to hexadecimal and enter the WEP pass? [23:43] visualdeception: you might check in ps to see how ti's running [23:43] * nickrud bows towards LjL in abject fear [23:43] Ok [23:43] Thanks [23:43] visualdeception: ps aux | grep svn or some such [23:43] Pelo: its not a real upgrade the new kernel is from the same version it does only removed some security issue so its the same version ( which explain why i can not find my earlier instance) [23:43] Thanks for the help [23:44] MrSiebel, i run a tool called 'vmware server console' it has 2 buttons one for 'local host' and one for 'remote host' I just use localhost and connect.

[23:44] jj: I just clicked on the network in that little drop down box in the top right, then typed in the password when I asked, but I can try that way(I'll probably lose connection for a minute though, thats currently how I'm on IRC) [23:44] * mgi needs help with partitioning [23:45] yassine, you should still have the hability to install a pervious version of the kernel from synaptic, look around for kernel image, that's the best i can personnaly do for you , it might at least get you working, until the next kernel update [23:45] seany yes i do [23:45] pinsmack, hey sorry my IRC client froze solid u still need help? [23:45] i tried restarting to see if the sound problem wil lget fixed [23:45] but it didn't [23:45] yeah man i still need it [23:45] jj: Wait, nvm, I just checked what that was, haha. I need it to be in roaming mode, as this is a laptop, so I bring it all over, and connect to a few different networks [23:45] Pelo: many thanks for the suggestions! cheers [23:45] what's the best audio cd burner in terms of quality? :D [23:46] pinsmack, alright, what driver is it set to use?
