[00:27] or not...cause if it's the latter [00:27] Is there an ETA for a patch to the Ubuntu kernel for the root exploit? [00:27] nosliw_pilf: Are you trying to run raid? SOunds like you need to check your cmos.. are you also dual booting? [00:27] bbad...you can stop now as that is offtopic and you were already warned. [00:27] okay [00:27] Jack_Sparrow, I have two local computers with vncserver running, and I'd rather change the default port before changing ipaddresses [00:27] Flannel, thanks for the help :) [00:27] hi [00:27] speeddemon8803: use tab completion to type in people's names, it really helps to know who you are talking to [00:27] RichW: hi,RichW,you said reboot,iv tried that many times,but doesnt work, emerald works well at first until i reconfigured my xorg with "dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" [00:27] My friend just got Ubuntu today and wants to install the 186 updates, but a error comes up saying 'Synaptic already running', How can he solve this? [00:27] bense: no problem [00:27] is there a way to play windows games under ubuntu? [00:27] Could someone please help me figure out how to access the files on my usb mp3 player? [00:28] !wine | BiO [00:28] BiO: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. [00:28] It did not automount as things usually do on plugin [00:28] stealthy, depends onw what kind of mp3 player you have [00:28] i was stupid enough once to try to get berly on ubuntu on an intel-based machine [00:28] Jack: No, I'm not running RAID, and Bios and Windows both recognize the drive just fine. [00:28] bense, philips [00:28] i nearly killed the machine [00:28] well...bbad...theres only one person with that "portion" of a nickname in their name...so...i dont see how anybody could get confused..but hey ill bend over for the boss any day :) [00:28] i am using wine, but it fails loading the game [00:28] bbbadtothebone: May I have a quick PM? [00:28] BiO; #winehq [00:29] wait what? [00:29] BiO: Please check the db of wine supported games and programs [00:29] stealthy, what kind of mp3 is it? [00:29] sure [00:29] My friend just got Ubuntu today and wants to install the 186 updates, but a error comes up saying 'Synaptic already running', How can he solve this? [00:29] Scunizi, Philips usb mp3 player [00:29] ok [00:29] jack-desktop, vncserver --httpport number [00:29] Model # PSA612/17 [00:29] iDivine: Before trying to do the updates, close synaptic [00:29] I can't install Ubuntu either [00:29] hey whats the fps that is like open arena but starts with n [00:29] !whining [00:29] Sorry, I don't know anything about whining - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [00:29] hey guys whats a good program to check drive corruption [00:29] hmm [00:29] if the drive is failing or not [00:29] Flannel, I believe he doesn't have it open. [00:30] stealthy, some mp3 players have 2 different modes that are switchable from inside the setup or config of the mp3 player itself. You might look for that and choose the 2nd option then plug it in and see if it mounts. [00:30] pocketwatch, i'd have to install something else to do that [00:30] anyone? [00:30] iDivine: Check to make sure he doesn't have adept, aptitude, add/remove, apt-get, synaptic, or another update-manger open. If not, do `sudo apt-get update` and see what the more verbose error is [00:30] just need a program name here [00:30] Just wondering: what's a good network browser for Windows-based networks, since Nautilus doesn't work? [00:31] RedHeron, samba with nautilus [00:31] tsukasa_: nexuiz? [00:31] jack-desktop, i must have missed it, are you using vnc? [00:31] Scunizi, it's telling me I can't use it. [00:31] RedHeron, samba? [00:31] pocketwatch, i'm using the default "Remote Desktop" program that comes with gutsy [00:31] Scunizi: It says "Nautilus cannot handle network: locations" [00:31] i am trying a gutsy install on an amd64 with an nvidia fx 5200 and getting a freeze up after initial bootup [00:31] !samba > RedHeron [00:31] Do I need to logoff/reboot for changes in gconfig-editor to take effect? [00:31] Flannel, whats that for me? [00:31] Anyone ever get thins err before unable to make backup link of `./usr/bin/dbmmanage' before installing new version: Operation not permitted [00:31] Hey there, I don't think the Live CD Customization has exactly what I needed to do - I probably missed it, can someone help? [00:32] *was [00:32] slliness: yes [00:32] err .. I mean I looked at the wiki for Live CD Customization [00:32] Flannel: thats not a hard drive diagnostic tool =P [00:32] Scunizi, there isn't one [00:32] anyoooone? [00:32] and I think what I'm trying to do is different from what they're describing [00:32] tsukasa_: is fsck what youre looking for? [00:32] Flannel, thanks thats it I ll remeber by the little purple pill for time ...lol === solidliquid is now known as solid_liq [00:33] NixerX: type mount in a terminal, is your / partition mounted read only (ro) ? [00:33] Flannel: maybe, how do i schedule it to work on reboot [00:33] hey guys, do you know of any CLI apps to rip a music cd kinda like Exact Audio Copy in windows which re-reads each sector to make sure you get a true reading of the medium? [00:33] I feel like a moron, I've been trying to netboot a live CD of some kind for like 12 hours and I couldn't get it to work :/ [00:33] tsukasa_: `sudo touch /forcefsck` [00:33] hey guys, whats the best open IRC program (on vista using mIRC ATM need one for my ubuntu partition) [00:33] nickrud, /dev/hda3 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro) [00:33] anyone know how to get gps data into google earth? [00:33] !best > baxtor (baxtor, see the private message from Ubotu) [00:33] stealthy, I use to go to /media and sudo mkdir mp3 then you'll have to add a line to your fstab to mount it there. there is another way.. maybe after creating the directory you can sudo mount -a [00:33] !irc > baxtor (baxtor, see the private message from Ubotu) [00:33] Flannel: thanks [00:34] It doesn't matter if it's ubuntu, or debian, or knoppix or anything .. but nothing works! =D [00:34] jack-desktop, vino (default) has hard coded listening ports [00:34] jack-desktop, if you want to change it you'll need to use a different vnc server (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=26815) [00:34] How can I force an input method to be used in all applications? I don't want xim to be used for x-based programs [00:34] Schmao-Fmao: personal question: what's it mean to netboot a live-cd? [00:34] !netboot [00:34] Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues [00:35] I'm trying to boot up computers that don't have a CD-ROM drive using the image of a Live CD on a server [00:35] nickrud, im rebooting the server now after taking out the ro with errors option. [00:35] pocketwatch, in gconf-editor there is and alt-port, i've already changed that, do i need to reboot/logoff for gconf to take effect? [00:35] NixerX: no, that was ok [00:35] the server provides DHCP / TFTP / NFS, and the client machines boot off the server using LAN boot [00:35] Schmao-Fmao: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation has a few methods [00:35] i have a wired router and dial-up internet how do i share? i have 2 ethernet cables? [00:35] just starrting [00:35] point [00:36] Why is Dapper Ubiquity Issues in the factoid for !netboot :/ [00:36] damn it. [00:36] Flannel: I'm not actually trying to do network installation :) I plan to use dd and netcat to clone systems, but I need to net-boot into something simple that has the netcat utility [00:37] hi,iv got a problem,my emerald has no border after i run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg",anyone can help me? [00:37] A Live CD isn't the simplest thing but it has quite a bit of existing infrastructure so I hoped I could use it [00:37] sorry if this is a stupid question. I need to edit a .conf file. how do I save my changes? I need to open it through terminal as root but I don't know the commant. [00:37] Schmao-Fmao: maybe something LTSP [00:37] sudo gedit thinman1189 [00:37] dondong: alt-f2 emerald --replace [00:38] Try running emerald --replace [00:38] NixerX: I had that error, I'm trying to remember what I did [00:38] nickrud: still no border [00:38] can sum1 get me started on sharing my dial-up internet thru a wired router and 2 ethernet cables? [00:38] Flannel: I could look at that, definitely :) [00:38] Ubuntu has an LTSP, will it have the most current network drivers? [00:38] nickrud, its a pain in the @ss .... somewhat perpetual. [00:39] thinman1189: use "sudo gedit X.conf" instead of just "gedit X.conf" (remember to backup) [00:39] jack-desktop, stop and restart vino-server: gconftool-2 -s -t bool /desktop/gnome/remote_access/enabled false [00:39] gconftool-2 -s -t bool /desktop/gnome/remote_access/enabled true [00:39] chubs : thanks! [00:39] thinman1189: (or whatever editor you use) [00:39] goodmami : I'm not editing x I'm editing moblock [00:39] thinman1189: (oops, i was late... thanks chubs) [00:39] anyone know how to get gps data into google earth? [00:39] I'm actually extremely close to getting the netboot to work [00:39] The Ubuntu live CD has the appropriate network drivers but it can't mount nfs [00:39] goodmami: thinman1189 you should use gksu over sudo, for some reason that I don't know [00:39] pocketwatch: thanks but i didn't have to do that, it worked [00:39] thinman1189: (X was a variable... xorg.conf, moblock.conf, whatever) [00:40] !gksudo (for any that want to read the link) [00:40] the Debian live CD boots up appropriately but it's missing the network driver (I'm using a virtual machine so that's the only way I know) [00:40] danbhfive: I believe it's so that only the application itself ends up runnint as root, and not all of the other GTK stuff. [00:40] ubotu is down. danbhfive basically so you don't write to your personal configs as root [00:41] thanks tonyyarusso, i didn't know that [00:41] thanks guys, interesting === phix_ is now known as phix [00:41] Does anybody know this? How can I force an input method to be used in all applications? I don't want xim to be used for x-based programs [00:41] I'm unable to get the remote inluded with my compro vidoemate u500 to work - it shows up as a device in /proc/bus/input/devices (/dev/input/event7) but I'm unable to get irrecord -H devinput -d /dev/input/event7 lircd.conf to pick up anything - any ideas? should I be asking elsewhere? [00:42] anyone know how to get gps data into google earth? [00:42] !gksudo [00:42] 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) [00:42] Hey guys, does anyone know if there is an IRC channel anywhere for KompoZer or NVU? [00:42] Anyone in here that would be willing to help me with finding and replacing text using regular expressions? [00:43] ~pastebin [00:43] goodmami: unfortunately not all toolkits or applications have the same XIM support. It's not a standard builtin for X11. So, I'm not sure you can make all programs not use XIM... [00:43] !pastebin | tifine_test [00:43] tifine_test: 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) [00:43] tcpdumpgod: i am going threw away my computer soon it cant even detect my card when its using it.... [00:43] Hm, the LTSP-BUILD-CLIENTS command reminds me very much of debian-live [00:43] this is good :) [00:43] Absconsus: I will, how about in #ubuntu-offtopic. Ill help just a bit [00:44] Okay, thanks :) [00:44] goodmami : ah, lol. thought you had literally meant x, lol. danbhfive : what's the difference? [00:44] unagi, i don't know, but i bough one of those GPS-bluetooth things, so i'll get into the problem later [00:44] imaginator: thanks for replying. the problem is that xim seems to crash and I cannot input anything. However if I change to another input method, it will work [00:45] imaginator: for example, gedit or terminal [00:45] thinman1189: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo [00:45] whats the easiest way of partitioning an external harddrive??? [00:45] gparted [00:45] imaginator: but if i can't force an app to use an IM, can I somehow switch to it (im-switch or something) from the command line? === solid_liquid is now known as solid_liq [00:45] compsman, i just got back. [00:46] Do you have the option for "nvidia" in the module selection screen compsman, or do you just have "nv" as an option? [00:46] goodmami: Gtk+ or GNOME may have a specific input method configuration. So that could fix your gedit or terminal problem. [00:46] imaginator: in gtk applications I can usually right-click the text area and change the input method there [00:46] tcpdumpgod: had both i know its suppose be nvidia [00:46] any ideas why this is messing up? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55550/ [00:47] can anyone help me with my wireless? [00:47] imaginator: so i have no problem in those. but non-gtk applications (such as Opera) do not have this context menu [00:47] I'm trying to install Ubuntu 7.10 on this system with an integrated 7050 video card and an NEC 14" LCD (1024x768 @75hz). I've reconfigured the X server to use these parameters (nv and vesa), but I always get "Signal out of range" on my LCD (I've tried 60, 70, and 75hz). Any ideas? o.O [00:47] i have wpa_supplicant setup and my interfaces file, but it doesnt seem to even try to connect to the essid [00:47] okay compsman did you select it and continue? [00:47] iwconfig returns a blank interface [00:47] Look, I dont mean to make some of you feel inferiour or less superior than myself, we all do have the right to answer questions in here.....if we dont know bot commands dont jump us for it if it was our first attempt...thanks for listening. Have a nice day. [00:47] danbhfive : thanks, I'll try to remember from now on. [00:47] any way to convert bin,cue to iso ? o-o [00:48] Dimitree: bchunk [00:48] ty [00:48] tcpdumpgod: yea and when i start gdm it gets a pop up saying in low video settings [00:48] goodmami: From what I understand Opera uses the Qt toolkit. So you would need to configure the input method for that toolkit separately. [00:48] Nvm, 800x600@60hz at least starts... *shudder* [00:49] Okay compsman, then its your monitor settings. [00:49] compsman, what kind of monitor do you have? [00:49] 1703fp [00:49] dell [00:49] Wow, this is impossible [00:49] help me ou [00:49] the Ubuntu LTSP worked [00:49] I just installed it and it worked =P [00:49] imaginator: ok, that makes sense. the same goes for x-based apps too, i suppose? (I'm using ITSDB (http://wiki.delph-in.net/moin/ItsdbTop)) [00:50] wtf! I've tried for like 12 hours to get it to work!! :P [00:50] !wtf [00:50] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [00:50] help me!!! [00:50] oh, sorry [00:50] someone help me!!! [00:50] budah, what with ? [00:50] !ask [00:50] Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [00:50] goodmami: it's all toolkit-specific, and unfortunately not all toolkits support XIM as well [00:50] csc`, any visual version ? i'm noobish : ) [00:50] imaginator: ok, thanks for your help. i'll look into it a bit more [00:50] Dimitree: bchunk image.bin image.cue image.iso [00:51] hola a todos el chan [00:51] anyone know an app to burn .img dvd images ? [00:51] !es | libano [00:51] libano: Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda. [00:51] muchas gracias [00:51] hey everyone, O [00:51] sorry finger slip.. [00:52] I have another question about ubuntu LTSP ... When my client machine has booted up and I look in the /dev directory, am I looking at the devices of the client or the server? [00:52] * Pelo will never forgive ahorriblemess , never [00:52] I'm trying to get Moblock to work but when I turn it on I can't access the internet at all. It warns that the default setting has it to block my own router. I'm trying to edit the white list so that it doesn't but my changes don't seem to work. Any ideas? [00:52] I'd just like to check something real quick... a whirring, sort of fluttering/chattery fan sound silenced by tapping the laptop repeatedly is NOT normal and should be repaired, right? [00:52] csc`, thank you :) [00:53] My objective is to use dd and netcat to clone an operating system to /dev/hda, because I have twelve identical computers that I'd like to clone an operating system over [00:53] it's an HP I know they are known for noisy fans [00:53] but this is ridiculous [00:53] i cannot get my laptop LCD to display properly in 1280 X 800. I have a Dell Inspiron E1505. [00:53] ahorriblemess, get ir repaired [00:53] ahorriblemess, Probably :) [00:53] Schmao-Fmao: interesting [00:53] ahorriblemess: Well, depends if the tapping fixes the fan, or breaks it ;) I'd take her in if its under warranty [00:53] ahorriblemess, you can also try fancontrol , check here http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty [00:53] OK good, I've already recieved a rain check from Best Buy to get a replacement === Jannita is now known as Johanna [00:53] csc`: I know that Systemimager is another option but I'd like to stick to something simple - plus one of my coworkers doesn't trust it [00:53] tcpdumpgod: you here? [00:54] I can't wait to install Ubuntu again and sit in front of the terminal for like 8 hours setting everything up [00:54] again [00:54] again? [00:54] a second time, I'm getting my laptop replaced due to the fan noise [00:54] At least I know that dd and netcat creates copies that are essentially exact :) [00:54] ahorriblemess, 8 hrs ? it takes me 30 min to install ubuntu, about 3 hrs to setup everything back if I whiped my /home dir [00:54] i agree somewhat with Pelo [00:54] i exaggerate [00:54] !ask i cannot get my laptop LCD to display properly in 1280 X 800. I have a Dell Inspiron E1505. [00:55] ahorriblemess, backup to a dvd or someting [00:55] SSH backup :D [00:55] I made a note of links to get info again [00:55] I can do that? with all my settings? [00:55] budah you dont have to type !ask :) [00:55] budah, did you edit your xorg.conf file to add the extra resolution ? [00:55] holy heck I'm going to look that up [00:55] !backup > ahorriblemess [00:56] pelo, i'm scared of xconf [00:56] budah: You have to get 915resolution I believe. Should be in the main repos. [00:56] ahorriblemess: if you have another computer running (helps if its linux) you can do a nice SFTP backup over a network. Thats what i tend to do [00:56] My current issue is that when I log in with the LTSP server running, I'm actually able to see the whole filesystem on my server machine. However, the devices in /dev are not the same. Are the devices I'm seeing the ones that belong to the client machine? [00:56] ahorriblemess, also just backing up your /etc and /home dir should take care of most of yoru settings and customisation [00:56] ahorriblemess: keep in mind the destination computer has to have enough space ;) [00:56] !backup [00:56] There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [00:57] oops, forgot the > for me [00:57] Brenny, where is the main repos? assume i know nothing :-\ [00:57] budah, do not be scared of editing xorg.conf, jsut follow the same syntax and add the resolution you want, about half way down the file , gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [00:57] speeddemon8803, you can also query ubotu in private with /msg ubotu !trigger [00:57] budah: In terminal all you need to do is 'sudo apt-get install 915resolution' [00:57] why does compiz stop updating my settings after a certain amount of time [00:57] the main repos are the one's enabled by default in apt [00:58] i know pelo, im beginner team, it was a simple goof up on my part [00:58] budah, menu > system > admin > software sources , check all the boxes on the first tab and the backport on the 3rd tab [00:58] why does it matter anyway if its pm or not [00:58] Pelo, with his computer editing xorg.conf won't do it without 915resolution installed. It should 'just work' after 915resolution is installed [00:58] maybe somebody is lurking and is going ask the a similar question [00:58] It'll be awesome once I get it to work. The computers are twelve identical Q6600's :D [00:58] thank you [00:59] its not like this room is slow === jimmygoon_ is now known as jimmygoon [00:59] seisen, it's just common curtosy so you don'T spam the channel, its not a big deal , it's jsut someting you can do if you don'T rightly know what you are looking for [00:59] I run the ratpoison WM and xterm with the exact same font and fontsize as in the console (i've counted pixels here). I also run xterm with no internal or external border. However, when I create an xterm window, the characters start drawing 1 pixel further down the screen than in the console, making me get 99% of a full line free space at the bottom of the screen. This is driving me crazy. What makes that 1 pixel border?! [00:59] actually, i did know what i was looking for but ok ill give you the benefit of the doubt of thinking i am a newbie or whatever :) [01:00] anyone has tried to run a terminal server in a vserver guest ? [01:01] bolt: there is a tool you can use to introspect some Xt/Xaw-based apps like xterm. I'm trying to remember the name of it [01:01] I'm in the vserver and the config of x11-common crashs... with a segmentation fault! [01:01] speeddemon8803, even if you were not a newbie, you might know have known about that particualr feature, my mentionning it was not meant as an insult , I was just sharing the information [01:01] bolt: it could probably tell you which widget provides the border [01:01] I'm using amd64 so I need a different set of packages for moblock. there's packages located http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=3964634&postcount=987 but I don't know what to do with them. [01:01] imaginator: that really would be swell. i'm aiming for making X look exactly like the console, just with the ability to run graphic stuff like firefox. that 1 wasted text line really ruins the impression [01:01] Brenny, alright - the last line it says is "Patch mode 5c to resolution 1280x800 complete [01:02] Brenny, now what? [01:02] thinman1189: sudo dpkg -i packagename in the terminal [01:02] Budah, you probably have to log out for it to take effect. [01:02] change packagename to the file name [01:02] Brenny, cross your fingers - and thanks [01:02] also you can double click on the file and gdebi will start up and install them [01:03] seisen : for both of the two packages given? I don't know what the difference is other than one is a little bigger in file size. [01:03] bolt: try installing editres and you can then introspect the widget tree for xterm. [01:03] anyone has any idea how to set up miro? it keeps shutting down right after opened [01:03] How to start tombay minimized ? [01:03] imaginator: will do. thanks! [01:03] tomboy minimized? [01:03] or in systray [01:03] bolt: once you find the resource involved you can add it to your ~/.Xdefaults [01:03] Anyone know if you can load modules while the system is running?

[01:48] yea sounds promising [01:49] imartron, if you make one [01:49] Anizuka, that might be because your video card can't handle it [01:49] any way to disable web page "stuckage" when mouse is over flash banner? [01:49] i should put all that before the boot? im using the alternate text based installer [01:49] Pelo-> new version is nice but it crashes after 2 map is finished (single player) [01:49] nohla: Sorry, but I don't know. That sounds like a bug in Totem [01:49] encrypt128bit: nope... nevewr all of them [01:49] ive tried all the tricks in the forums ect.....while using the GUI version, it initializes the mouse display, then goes to a text version that hangs at 'running local scripts', tried the nosplash method.... tried the alt version...both cds are fine...the alt version gets to the point where its 'configuring apt - scanning the mirror' and hangs at 40% [01:49] Pelo, it says the normal one wont even work [01:49] i can't open device manager [01:49] nohla: do you have a lot of unattached shared memory segments listed in ipcs? [01:49] kahrytan, like I said you can revert to the privious version in synaptic [01:49] darn [01:49] seriously, it just doesn't show up [01:49] wtf [01:49] so just try one of those at a time or what. heh, sorry im pretty new at this [01:49] Anizuka, what is your video card ? [01:50] and should i abort my current installation to try these [01:50] pelo, how do you figgure out what your video card is? [01:50] i just installed 7.10 [01:50] encrypt128bit: Already trying the alternate.. have done the cd self test or done an MD5 checksum on it.. sorry.. but I need to take off... WIfe will be home in a few minutes [01:50] Joey_Fippin, i had that happen a while back, I wasn't realy botter to check why at the time and it is back now , try rebooting [01:50] Dil, nope, :) Can't dd directly to samba. It doesn't recognize it as a valid directory. Time to find another method... [01:50] Pelo-> ill check getdeb version [01:50] alright [01:50] thanks pelo [01:50] daniel733473: that sounds strange for it to be so slow. I haven't heard of that before. how old are the disk and motherboard? [01:51] Anizuka, check your computer's manual ? or type lspci in the terminal [01:51] i'm on an hp6704nr notebook... plugging headphones into the computer doesn't mute the speakers. I've already tried the method on here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=575750&highlight=wifi&page=4 [01:51] imaginator, I cant understand you [01:51] Has anyone gotten Lightscribe working in 64-bit Ubuntu? I installed it using alien, but the results when it prints are kind of swirly, as if it printed everything in a spiral rather than extending outwars [01:51] jack_sparrow: Yea, MD5 checksum checks out [01:51] nohla: in an xterm try running ipcs [01:51] encrypt128bit: good luck, someone should have an answer [01:51] :-/ [01:51] ive tried all the tricks in the forums ect.....while using the GUI version, it initializes the mouse display, then goes to a text version that hangs at 'running local scripts', tried the nosplash method.... tried the alt version...both cds are fine...the alt version gets to the point where its 'configuring apt - scanning the mirror' and hangs at 40%, tried even bypassing my router, to ensure it wasnt that that was bugging out the configuring [01:51] imaginator: it is a Dell Inspiron 3800, 1.6Ghz, 52xcd/dvdrom. Not sure of the exact years, but within the past 4 [01:51] encrypt128bit: Try posting your hardware info for review [01:52] where at? [01:52] Brenny, the command is netcat you specify ip etc [01:52] encrypt128bit: Short version in here, keep it short.. NEVER more than three lines [01:52] nohla: you may find that you're out of shared memory, but it does sound like a bug in Totem. Everytime a program crashes it may not cleanup the SysV shared memory that ipcs lists. [01:52] Dil, even if it's a Windows machine on the other end? [01:52] nohla: especially video players [01:52] dialup, what is this in regards to ? [01:53] installing 7.10 [01:53] x64 [01:53] nohla: in which case youc an use ipcrm to remove the shared memory identifier [01:53] thats not good [01:53] tried both graphical and alt..... checksum good, cd 100% [01:53] dialup, go back to i386 alt install cd [01:53] !sound [01:53] hello everyone [01:53] is there a way to automatically run a script when in range of a wireless network? i.e i connect then i run VPN script automatically] [01:53] eh, thught that would do something [01:54] do any of you know if there is an automated way to cleanup the shared memory segments that ipcs lists in ubuntu? Perhaps a graphical way? [01:54] Am I right "sudo apt-get install compiz compizconfig-settings-manager" is all I need to install Compiz on Ubuntu 7.10? [01:54] Brenny, ip transcends [01:54] ahorriblemess, it will , ubotu is just lagging a bit [01:54] restarting client, brb [01:54] oh [01:54] !botsnack [01:54] such chaos in here. [01:54] ok, I just don't really know all the commands and stuff. I wasn't sure if that was one [01:54] Dil, alright, thanks. Ill give that a look. Figure out the syntax I need. [01:55] encrypt128bit, , it's just a busy channel, repeat your query periodicaly and breifly [01:55] Brenny, kk, [01:55] ahorriblemess, most of the commands will give a short text with a few links regarding specific , common problems [01:55] Pelo, the Ispci isnt working in the terminal [01:55] Is it possible to install an old version of the UBUNTU kernel without compiling from source? [01:56] Anizuka it's lspci, not Ispci [01:56] Dil, sorry, didn't mean for you to go look for it if thats how it came it. I'm hunting it down right now:) [01:56] hmm, restarting didn't fix me [01:56] daniel733473: does the Linux dmesg program list anything that would indicate a device driver having problems? [01:56] xD [01:56] Anizuka, you do know what linux is case sensitive right & [01:56] ? [01:56] It seems that there's only one kernel version in my apt repository [01:56] imaginator, im really new in ubuntu, i hardly understand ubuntu, terminal and English. If it isnt easy yo cant help me because i cant help you to understand me [01:56] hey to make something runable from anywhere i just have to do a "sudo ln -s " and then i can run "filename" from whereever in the terminal right? [01:56] Pelo, no, I didnt [01:57] arrrghhh, you need to link it to somewhere in your path [01:57] imaginator: I will check on this boot. I had powered it off and started reading about boot options. I am trying to boot with "generic.all_generic_ide=1" now. If that doesn't work, I'll be reading dmesg very carefully. Thanks for your time so far :) [01:57] nohla: I understand. It's probably just a bug in Totem. Please report it if you can. I know that english isn't your native language :) [01:57] Dr_willis, can you be a little less vague please? [01:57] imartron, I don'T allow private msg, please talk to me in the channel [01:57] Yeah, just noticed ;) [01:57] arrrghhh, what you are doing is totally wrong.. since your command is wrong... [01:57] How can I install an older version of linux-image (linux-image-2.6.21 or less) ? [01:57] I'm not getting relevant results in ubuntuforums or google [01:57] here's my error message: [01:57] Nautilus can't be used now. Running the command "bonobo-slay" from the console may fix the problem. If not, you can try rebooting the computer or installing Nautilus again. [01:57] Bonobo couldn't locate the Nautilus_shell.server file. One cause of this seems to be an LD_LIBRARY_PATH that does not include the bonobo-activation library's directory. Another possible cause would be bad install with a missing Nautilus_Shell.server file. [01:57] Running "bonobo-slay" will kill all Bonobo Activation and GConf processes, which may be needed by other applications. [01:57] Sometimes killing bonobo-activation-server and gconfd fixes the problem, but we don't know why. [01:57] imartron: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:57] ok , I'm just getting pmed by everyoneand their cousings [01:58] arrrghhh, your commands must be somewhere in your path of commands. Bash fundamentals. [01:58] my bad pelo [01:58] Dr_willis, wha? [01:58] imartron: so, did you do all of those things they suggested? [01:58] Brenny, no dude, i learned dd and thought how nice it would be to dd over network netcat was the tool i looked at not much hands on [01:58] Heres my problem: Im installing UBUNTU via alternate cd, MD5 checked out on the ISO file i downloaded, and the check CD didnt find any errors. Im at the stage in the install where you select and install software, and it keeps failing. (Im running a P4 3GHz, 1GB of ram, gefore 6800) im installing ubuntu on a seperate hard drive as well. [01:58] imartron, try these commands, sudo apt-get remove nautilus --purge and then sudo apt-get install nautilus [01:59] any ideas on getting device manager to start? [01:59] Dil, looking at a webpage right now. Netcat looks like exactly what I need. Thanks a bunch. I [01:59] encrypt128bit: and you're sure the optical drive's in good shape? [01:59] device manager? [01:59] Yes [02:00] yeah, its supposed to be under system > administration > device manager [02:00] but def not there for me [02:00] encrypt128bit,try pre partitionning your harddrive, make 3 partitons, / ext3 about 10 gig , swap linux-swap 2 gig and /home ext3 the rest [02:00] sry my internet got messed up, the zlib worked, but now it says "requires openssl even though i just reinstalled it " (im trying to make wepdecrypt) [02:00] Joey_Fippin: right click the menu and go to edit. maybe its just hidden? [02:00] encrypt128bit, then use manual partitionning in the installer , select where each ofthe partition goes that will save you some formating [02:00] daniel733473: you might also want to install the linux-source package and then look in Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt which has a bunch of IDE options that could be useful towards getting it to be faster. [02:00] i just installed ubuntu, but its screwing me over in like 10 ways [02:00] imaginator, thanks. hardly ever somebody help in ubuntu-es. Try in english is easier than find a good soul :( [02:00] Joey_Fippin: sudo lshw will also tell you the same info [02:00] Joey_Fippin, just list them one at a time [02:01] can someone tell me how to echo the time in a terminal? [02:01] Joey_Fippin, well an OS is like a wife... [02:01] not hidden [02:01] echo $(time) ?! [02:01] I've tried 1) bonobo-slay. 2) reboot. 3) reinstall nautilus [02:01] nohla: It's tough sometimes. Perhaps you will gain experience and be able to help people in ubuntu-es :) [02:01] I don't know how to work with LD_LIBRARY_PATH or how to find Nautilus_Shell.server [02:02] sry my internet got messed up, the zlib worked, but now it says "requires openssl even though i just reinstalled it " (im trying to make wepdecrypt) ((((i have a fresh install((yesterday)) )))) [02:02] slugone_, make sure you ahve the -dev packages isntalled as well [02:02] slugone_: you have libssl-dev installed? [02:02] pelo: list what one at a time? [02:02] I don't get it... Does ubuntu remove old kernel versions when a new version is instaled? [02:03] If i install xp on my partition, will xp overwrite 7.10? [02:03] slugone_, when compiling manualy always install the -dev packages of the dependencies requested [02:03] hi [02:03] i do [02:03] my most recent action was to do the 'recommended upgrades' which included firefox and firefox-gnome... not sure what else [02:03] It seems to, and I can't understand why it would ever do that [02:03] Joey_Fippin, never mind [02:03] but it's my guess that the problem may have arisen from that [02:03] rredd4: yes [02:03] well maybe its cuz im missing 1 more dependency i cant find in synaptic ill list it in a sec [02:03] anybody here thats decent with html or kompozer or whatever program you use && gimp / photoshop want to help me make a website? [02:03] imartron, did you try uninstalling and relinstalling like I suggested ? [02:04] here fltk [02:04] !botsnack [02:04] Yum! Err, I mean, APT! [02:04] i cant find it [02:04] ok, new question: how can i get my nvidia driver to work? [02:04] great, bots back :) [02:04] imaginator, Your are such a hopeful guy :):):) [02:04] DIL even though 7.10 is on a different partition?

The new one is 500 GB and the older one is only 80GB. I am trying to backup the whole 80-gb HD to a file in the second hard disk. I have questions: What filesystem should I use and how can I make the backup & restore process? [02:04] miraage, what %? [02:04] speeddemon8803, im not a bot [02:05] Pelo: What % of what? [02:05] was not referring to you, i was referring to ubotu [02:05] Wow at least I'm not invisible. [02:05] Pelo: your message got list in the rest... Trying the reinstall now [02:05] rredd4: two separate is ok it will dual boot [02:05] imartron, try these commands, sudo apt-get remove nautilus --purge and then sudo apt-get install nautilus [02:05] rredd4: if you install windows on a different partition than linux, it will still overwrite the MBR [02:05] DIL just have to redo grub [02:05] miraage, i thought somebody would answer your question [02:06] miraage, yes ubuntu does [02:06] brb [02:06] Me too. It's really a really fucking basic one. [02:06] : where can i find this dependency....... fltk [02:06] !profanity [02:06] Sorry, I don't know anything about profanity - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [02:06] jay-oh-en: So can I get back to the previous version somehow?

[02:07] Pelo: Yea [02:07] Joey_Fippin: You need to enable the source servers in 'software properties' [02:07] well great, I just restarted after updating alsa drivers so I can get my headphone jack to cut off the speakers, and now I have no sound at all after a restart [02:07] or...actually ubotu got it [02:07] hehe [02:07] DIL ok, ty!

I updated my alsamixer and I have no sound now.. [02:18] Joey_Fippin, yeah you should do it all with gedit :] [02:18] jgodfrey0723, it is fairly intuitive [02:18] whats the command for that?

[02:20] jgodfrey0723: does apt-cache policy libgnomeui-dev show an installation candidate? [02:20] by golly i was installing openssl-dev :P [02:20] When trying to install new software I get the error: [02:20] E: Sub-process /usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure --apt || true returned an error code (100) [02:20] ill try that and return if no luck' [02:20] E: Failure running script /usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure --apt || true [02:20] What does that mean? [02:20] jay-oh-en: All I can see are ways of compiling from src [02:21] jgodfrey0723, well if you asked more then what I told you earlier , not sure, remove the broken package and purge it then reinstall it and try to install what ever it was again [02:21] miraage, why not try that [02:21] Pelo, 00:00.0 Host bridge: ATI Technologies Inc Unknown device 5a31 (rev 01) [02:21] 00:01.0 PCI bridge: ATI Technologies Inc RS480 PCI Bridge [02:21] 00:06.0 PCI bridge: ATI Technologies Inc RS480 PCI Bridge [02:21] 00:12.0 IDE interface: ATI Technologies Inc 4379 Serial ATA Controller (rev 80) [02:21] 00:13.0 USB Controller: ATI Technologies Inc IXP SB400 USB Host Controller (rev 80) [02:21] 00:13.1 USB Controller: ATI Technologies Inc IXP SB400 USB Host Controller (rev 80) [02:21] Anizuka: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:21] Hi. When I press "print screen" under the gnome desktop, can I save the picture under another format than PNG? If so, how? [02:21] do I have to stop the webserver in ubuntu server edition to be able to access the folder to change the files? [02:21] well Anizuka isnt gonna get help [02:21] sigh [02:22] Pelo, i got W: Unable to locate package libgnuomeui-dev. How do I purge that file? [02:22] good now its just that last one you said should be in synaptic that i cant see (((configure: error: You must have fltk installed! [02:22] ))))) [02:22] subichan: no [02:22] jay-oh-en, do you think it is a driver problem? [02:22] xD [02:22] is there some default place where I can look for a boot/error log? Maybe I can learn more about why nautilus isn't starting [02:22] jgodfrey0723, you are doing this in cli ? try doing it with synaptic [02:22] jay-oh-en: So there's no way? [02:22] Flannel: I can't access those files though. I think the folder is locked somehow [02:22] Other than src?! [02:22] jay-oh-en, eh.. [02:22] Anizuka, using you as an example as why pastebin is good :) [02:22] Is there another way to read the cpu info besides reading /proc/cpuinfo? [02:22] slugone_: mine shows that it's in main (gutsy) [02:22] subichan: what are you trying to do? [02:23] how do i test to see if my wireless drivers are set up right? [02:23] Joey_Fippin, no [02:23] Anizuka, you very probabaly have an ati card, goto menu >`system > admin > restricted driver , see if there is a driver for your card that needs installing [02:23] imartron: there are lots of logs under /var/log/ [02:23] Joey_Fippin, sudo iwlist scan [02:23] thx [02:23] speeddemon8803, im new.. [02:23] !gutsysources | jgodfrey0723 fix your sources. [02:23] I have recently bought a larger hard disk for backup purposes. The new one is 500 GB and the older one is only 80GB. I am trying to backup the whole 80-gb HD to a file in the second hard disk. I have questions: What filesystem should I use and how can I make the backup & restore process? [02:23] squee, probably, but cat /proc/cpuinfo works fine for me :) [02:23] miraage, prolly not but im looking [02:23] ure right i see now that lower case l looks atlot like the number 1 on my monitor [02:23] Pelo, tried that, the file doesn't show up as being installed [02:23] and im kidding :) [02:23] jgodfrey0723 fix your sources.: gutsysources is in System->Admin->Software Sources, enable (main) (universe) (restricted) and (multiverse) and disable the Cdrom on the Ubuntu Software tab. On the Updates tab, enable (gutsy-security) and (gutsy-updates). [02:23] Flannel: I'm just double clicking on the www folder to get inside and copy files over other files, but I can't even enter it [02:23] imartron: there might a log viewer too i don't know [02:23] I have a strange issue, not finding much in google... I have eth0 set up as dhcp, and when tryign to restart the netowrk, I get a bunch of SIOCSIF....: Permission denied errors. IP stays the same, but I get no default gw, thus can't get out. [02:23] guys....using Preferences>Sessions for a list of startup programs does not work for me...is there another way to manage startup programs and scripts? In more detail?? [02:23] nickrud, can u elaborate? sorry... [02:23] Pelo, one last question...I must install XP on the empty space before installing ubuntu on the ext3 correct? [02:23] !backup > Varanger check for a private message windows with instructions from ubotu [02:24] squee: no scan results on eth1 [02:24] Pelo: Sorry [02:24] maybe I can get old .debs for kernel images? [02:24] jgodfrey0723, are you sure you ahve the correct spelling ? [02:24] ubotu, did that and still no good, i'll show u the results i get when trying through synaptic [02:24] miraage, if you have any chance it would be to look in synaptic for the kernel [02:24] subichan: you should be able to open it. It should be world readable. But, the files are all owned by www-data, your regular user wont be able to edit them [02:24] For some reason this drive have been chowned so that uid 500 owned everything. I set it so that root owned everything except the /home/ contents, and am stuck here [02:24] jgodfrey0723: you have a bot message above [02:24] Pelo: he has bad sources, that package is in main [02:24] miraage, Just search for "linux-kernel" [02:24] tantric132, yes, always install windows first that way when ubuntu isntalls it sees xp and puts it in the boot menu [02:25] Pelo, hey, your rightz! [02:25] Flannel: do you think I was not given an admin account after all? [02:25] Pelo, so THATS why I kept getting the root system file is not defined? [02:25] craigbass1976: then you're gonna have problems, a lot of stuff has to be owned by other users [02:25] Anizuka, I occasionnaly am [02:25] Pelo, thanks [02:25] xD [02:25] tantric132, possibly [02:25] nickrud, really... even in the folders besides /home? [02:25] subichan: having an admin account is an entirely independant thing. You can type "groups" and see if you're in admin [02:25] Pelo, tried under synaptic, marked for installation, got an error message saying file has unresolved dependencies [02:25] Pelo, you the man! Thanks bro...going to do it now [02:26] Pelo, libgnomeui-dev: [02:26] Depends: libgnome2-dev but it is not going to be installed [02:26] Depends: libbonoboui2-dev but it is not going to be installed [02:26] subichan: what does ls -al /var/ | grep www give you? [02:26] is there a modifier key i can use to scroll horizontally with my mouse wheel? [02:26] if i need to install the nvidia driver from console, is it just nvidia-glx? [02:26] jgodfrey0723, can you find those two packages in the repos ? [02:26] um...so does anyone know if there are alternatives to managing startup programs than Admin>Sessions? [02:26] Pelo, yes [02:26] jgodfrey0723, and ... [02:26] craigbass1976: I'm guessing you changed the owner of files like /var/run/klogd ? shouldn't be owned by root [02:26] BananaMon, system > preferences > sessions ? [02:27] Pelo, both are unmarked, when i try to install them they come back saying unresolved dependencies, its really weird [02:27] jgodfrey0723: it's not wierd. Have you checked software sources, made sure the first four are selected yet? [02:27] PriceChild: yeah....but somehow, no matter how I edit that list, programs I have previously removed still startup and do abnormal things [02:27] jgodfrey0723: pastebin your sources.list, you probably have -updates but not the regular gutsy [02:27] Flannel: I'm not on that machine and I don't really know how to use secureshell even if I was given the account info, so I'll have to go check tomorrow morning.. what should that command give me by default? [02:27] nickrud, yes, everything checked that you said to [02:27] BananaMon, probably because you've broken permissions elsewhere [02:27] jgodfrey0723, menu >ssystem > admin > software sources, check every box on the first tab and the backport box on the 3rd tab , then try again, close synaptic first [02:27] nickrud, I can't remember, but I think I never planned on using this drive again, threw it in a cent box and mounted 'er up (because the new computer is only sata, no ide ports) then chowned everything to me (500 on the cent box) [02:28] jay-oh-en: Ok thanks [02:28] jgodfrey0723, and after that you are on your own , I have to get to bed, work tomorrow [02:28] g'night folks [02:28] nickrud, then copied config files and my own data to this new box. [02:28] what ubufox firefox addon does? [02:28] PriceChild: ah....I'm kind of a noob, do you know how I can test where that is, or what I can do about it? [02:28] jgodfrey0723: then, apt-cache policy libboboboui2-dev , does it say it has an installation candidate? [02:28] subichan: well, you're checking the permissions for that folder, its probably drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 2008-01-21 13:56 www (with the date/time being different, of course) [02:28] how can i check if a disk in my dvd drive is blank? [02:28] pelo, thanks for your help :) [02:29] craigbass1976: then it's not your system drive. Then you can make it anything you want. What's your intent? [02:29] Does anybody know how reliably Ubuntu runs on the preinstalled Dell systems? [02:29] nickrud, E: Invalid operation libboboboui2-dev [02:29] how can i get root access in the file browser? [02:29] Flannel: ok, thanks, i'll have to check how it is tomorrow morning. thanks for now [02:30] nickrud, but it is a system drive again. I figured out why that box stopped working in the first place (after I bought the new box in 10-07--- Took a while to get around to it) and now I want to use it as the system drive again [02:30] nickrud, going to take a while isn't it? [02:30] jgodfrey0723: you typed the command wrong, probably left out policy, try again [02:30] fdds [02:30] how can i reset my gnome panels [02:30] jumbers, I just finished a dual boot configuration of XP/Ubuntu on a Dell 1.8GB system [02:30] j_humphrey, go to the terminal and type in gksu nautilus [02:30] what command will tell me if my essid is hidden? [02:30] j_humphrey: `gksu nautilus` be VERY careful, and close it as soon as youre done with it [02:30] j_humphrey, alt_f2 gksu nautilus [02:30] j_humphrey, yeah, and listen to what Flannel said [02:31] PriceChild: any ideas? [02:31] flannel, im just trying to get some new brushes with gimp [02:31] craigbass1976: um, ls -l /var/run/klogd , if that's not owned by klogd/klog.pid , if that's not owned by klog you are screwed [02:31] nickrud, and it is not. [02:31] how can i reset my gnome panels [02:31] bleah [02:31] Anizuka, you there? [02:31] can anyone tell me how to install nvidia drivers without using the driver manager? [02:31] nickrud, can I change that on the fly? [02:31] nickrud, joe@joe-desktop:~$ sudo apt-cache policy libboboboui2-dev [02:31] W: Unable to locate package libboboboui2-dev [02:31] i need to do this straight from the command line [02:31] craigbass1976: then you are gonna wanna reinstall. A huge, tedious process otherwise [02:32] BananaMon, no sorry [02:32] nickrud, I'm wondering if it would be educational though... [02:32] PriceChild: alright thanks for help anyway [02:32] what command will tell me if my essid is hidden? [02:32] TC all [02:32] is there a way to find every file owned by a given user? [02:32] jgodfrey0723: ok, that particular one is not in ubuntu. What are you trying to compile? [02:32] Is there any way to make the middle mouse button start up a 'autoscroll' in firefox? Scrolling down 15 pages with a scroll wheel is a pain in the butt. [02:32] im trying to install the cisco WTS client but it cant find libXm.so.3 !find produce alot of results, any ideas? [02:32] what command will tell me if my essid is hidden? [02:32] flannel, where is the sources.list located, i forgot i'm still newb [02:32] Hello :) is there a program in which i can make boxes with signs in them and connect them ? i guess its a presentation or something but my english is not good enough to explain :) [02:32] the site said it required openmotif [02:33] Marupa, I thought clicking on the scroll wheel in firefox would do that [02:33] OMFG you guys are the best now i can make files from source...this is the happiest day of my life (ex windows user :P) tanks maties [02:33] craigbass1976, it isn't. [02:33] jgodfrey0723: I take that back, that was a typo apt-cache policy libbonoboui2-dev [02:33] nickrud, basically i'm just trying to get the advanced compiz settings, and in order to do that i need those two files and don't know why they say they have dependencies [02:33] ccsm? [02:33] simple question guys: what command will tell me if my essid is hidden? [02:33] jgodfrey0723: why not just install compizconfig-settings-manager ? You not on gutsy? [02:34] joey check your router [02:34] Joey_Fippin: depends what tools you have [02:34] craigbass1976: probably, but it's not something I'd want to spend time doing [02:34] check it for what [02:34] login to router for essid info [02:34] i can connect on my wireless xp machine [02:34] nickrud, i have it, im on gutsy 7.10 but i want the extra settings like snow [02:34] ok i gotcha [02:34] jgodfrey0723: ok. [02:34] 192.0.0.168 or whatever it is for ure specific router [02:35] then ucan endable diable it [02:35] jgodfrey0723: put a copy of /etc/apt/sources.list on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org [02:35] craigbass1976, find / -depth -type f -user name [02:36] pocketwatch: the problem is, the user's are all set to root, he needs to find out what they need to be :) [02:36] nickrud, oh, missed the "should be" part :P [02:36] nickrud, I can run that command on my good box to get an idea of what's scerwed on my bad one, right? [02:36] craigbass1976: yup [02:36] nickrud, just going through /etc/passwd and running th command for every user in there [02:36] craigbass1976: for every user in /etc/passwd [02:37] nickrud, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55558/ [02:37] craigbass1976: and don't forget to do that for /etc/group as well [02:37] ok, my ssid is enabled [02:38] jgodfrey0723: ok, your sources are good. Copy and paste this command, don't type it: apt-cache policy libbonoboui2-dev [02:38] sup I use elisa and want more stations I've downloaded the files how do I add them [02:39] nickrud, libbonoboui2-dev: [02:39] Installed: (none) [02:39] Candidate: 2.20.0-0ubuntu1 [02:39] Version table: [02:39] 2.20.0-0ubuntu1 0 [02:39] 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com gutsy/main Packages [02:39] jgodfrey0723: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[02:40] exneo, i've only used rythmbox and it's pretty straight forward in there [02:41] jgodfrey0723: I have a feeling that some of the automatix or tuxfamily stuff is your problem. Try disabling them, and running sudo apt-get update and then the install you want. Any packages from them you already have won't be removed [02:41] how do i forcibly disconnect a user? [02:41] nickrud, i don't need the file libbonoboui2-dev i need libgnomeui-dev [02:42] nickrud, and libgnome-desktop-dev [02:42] how do I add avant to services that run at startup? [02:42] jgodfrey0723: then do apt-cache policy for that one. See if the candidate is from one of those other repos. [02:42] Pelo, it say the composite extention is not available for the visual effects [02:42] Hey I am having trouble getting audio working after few package updates the other day here is the info on my problem http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=692884 [02:42] joe@joe-desktop:~$ apt-cache policy libgnomeui-dev [02:42] libgnomeui-dev: [02:43] Installed: (none) [02:43] Candidate: 2.20.1.1-0ubuntu1 [02:43] Version table: [02:43] 2.20.1.1-0ubuntu1 0 [02:43] 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com gutsy-updates/main Packages [02:43] 2.20.0-0ubuntu1 0 [02:43] 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com gutsy/main Packages [02:43] hey right quick how do i upgrade elisa [02:43] as in command [02:43] nevermind, solved it.

[02:47] jgodfrey0723: now try installing libgnomeui-dev === csc`` is now known as csc` [02:47] x1bncwn, yep, just choose the 'install' icon on the desktop from the LiveCD [02:48] Brenny: not that kind of HD install, i mean install -from- the HD as opposed to the livecd [02:48] is there a way to boot the livecd image on drive [02:48] lymeca: what do you mean? are there rss feeds for files on direct connect? [02:48] !install | x1bncwn I think a method or two are listed here [02:48] x1bncwn I think a method or two are listed here: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues - Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [02:48] speedhunt3r, they are. both the ATI and HTL are in use [02:48] Brenny: Does anything have to be installed on windows to get samba to work? [02:48] x1bncwn, ohhh, alright. What kind of HD? USB or IDE/SATA on another machine? [02:49] I broke my panels in Gnome. Both are gone. how can I get them back? or clear the setings for them and get the defaults back. I can get into a terminal so thats how I start apps [02:49] IDE or USB [02:49] Anizuka, what video card are you using? [02:49] if I wanted to find the file "Nautilus_Shell.server" from the command line, is "locate -r 'Nautilus_Shell.server'" the proper command? [02:49] pocketdrummer, nope. Windows has all the shared stuff installed automatically. Just make sure both computers are in the same workgroup [02:49] !resetpanels | WorkingOnWise [02:49] WorkingOnWise: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [02:49] arummzen, so just see if there is a precompiled module for it? [02:49] speedhunt3r, ATI === nottha_k_ is now known as nottha_k [02:50] nickrud, would i use sudo apt-get libgnomeui-dev [02:50] nickrud, forgot the command sorry [02:50] jgodfrey0723: sudo apt-get install , just like before === Ash908 is now known as Ashfire908 [02:51] jgodfrey0723: a little trick: press ctl-r then type apt-get , it searches backwards for you and you can edit the line. Saves typing, helps you remember commands [02:51] nickrud: um...I cant use the consoles because I also have a yet to be solved video driver problem. will that command work from a gnome terminal? [02:51] WorkingOnWise: yes [02:51] Anizuka, type glxinfo | grep rendering in terminal what does it say? [02:51] nick [02:51] nickrud, sweet tip! here's what it came up with: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55560/ [02:52] nickrud: thanks [02:52] hello [02:52] jgodfrey0723: ok, definitely disable those extra repos of yours, and run sudo apt-get update === john_ is now known as John_Locke [02:53] nickrud, cross your fingers for me... There really weren [02:53] 't too many [02:53] Brenny: I see the workgroup there, but when I click on it, it says "The folder contents could not be displayed" [02:54] Usage: glxinfo [-v] [-t] [-h] [-i] [-b] [-display ] [02:54] -v: Print visuals info in verbose form.

[02:54] Anizuka: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:54] nickrud, what is the command to get to sources.list [02:54] pocketdrummer, I find sometimes for network changes to take effect I have to reboot the machines I want to interact. That and Ubuntu will be able to see Windows, but if Ubuntu is in EXT3/2, Windows wont be able to see Ubuntu. [02:55] nickrud, nm i remember [02:55] jgodfrey0723: sudoedit .. ok [02:55] Anizuka, you should type " glxinfo | grep rendering " everything inside the quotes in terminal. [02:56] speedhunt3r, dude, I havent the slightest idea how to work that pastebin thing [02:56] thanx to the awesome ppl on this irc chat, im never switching back to microsuck's dirty windows. [02:56] xD [02:56] Anizuka, just go to the URL, paste your stuff..and send us the link after you hit paste. [02:56] oh [02:56] ok [02:56] I like the use of the PDF printer, but how can i change the directory of where the files end up? [02:57] hey with the crystal window decorator on kubuntu gutsy, my window borders dissaperard, how do i get them back? [02:57] Brenny: So, if I wanted to print from the windows computer, I wouldn't be able to because I'm using EXT3? [02:57] Anizuka, keeng chee chow? [02:57] idivine, ? [02:58] Anizuka, ;P [02:58] idivine, ok.. [02:58] Anizuka, What did they tell you to paste.. [02:58] pocketdrummer, I couldn't tell you for sure if printing would work or not. I would say printer sharing would work, but filesharing from a Windows machine to a hard drive formatted in EXT2/3 won't happen [02:58] SupaFly: kwin --replace & and you'll use kwin again [02:58] idivine, well I dont know how to copy [02:58] pocketdrummer, what are you trying to do excatly? [02:58] is there a way to apply emerald themes without loggin out? [02:58] SupaFly: sorry i assumed kde [02:59] MrPiracy: alt-f2 emerald --replace [02:59] hi everyone, i just have one real quick and simple question. how do i add/remove the amount of workspaces? [02:59] Anizuka, It can be a hassle at times, But just try ex: Right clicking, Middle mouse button, Or CTRL + C. [02:59] with samba it dosent matter what filesystem the shares are on - as long as you set them up right. [02:59] nickrud, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55561/ [02:59] anyone know how to enable a framebuffer console in ubuntu? [02:59] nickrud: hmmm no way to apply it as i click it on emerlad settings? [02:59] MrPiracy, i just use the emerald theme manager tool and click on the theme to use. [02:59] pocketdrummer: filesystem type has nothing to do with sharing over the netwrok.. [02:59] Dr_Willis: Well, I have a computer in another room that has the printer. It is using Windows XP Home. I would like to be able to network these two together so I can't print from this computer. [02:59] yup kde is correct frank, cheers [03:00] MrPiracy: never found one myself [03:00] How can i change the location of where the files end up with PDF file generator? [03:00] how do i kill update manager using comand line? [03:00] pocketdrummer, cups handles the printing shareing. samba handles the folder shares.. I do just what you are talking about all the time. [03:00] Recently, I've been trying to boot into my windows, but it's unsuccessful because I'm greeted with the error 'Disk Read Error, Press CTRL+ALT+DEL to restart.' But I can boot into ubuntu, and access my windows folders, any help? [03:00] jgodfrey0723: that looks good, it's all ubuntu sources. Try installing again [03:00] hey nickrud [03:00] zelrikriando: good evening [03:00] pocketdrummer, alright, I'm wrong then. Disregard me. But yeah, Samba is for files, cups for printer. [03:00] pocketdrummer, share the printer under windows, then use the cups admin tool to add the printer to the linux box's printers lists [03:00] is there anyone in here that has the small fonts problem with xfce? [03:00] sorry frank, was that kwin --replace& or kwin --replace & [03:00] i'm thinking of buying a thinkpad x61 ... does [03:01] Dr_Willis: How do I use Cups? I've never heard of it [03:01] can anyone please tell me how to change the amount of workspaces i have? [03:01] and it didnt bring back the window borders btw [03:01] Boden, Have you tried right clicking them? [03:01] pocketdrummer, if you have ever printed on a linux box.. then you are using cups., [03:01] if so, i have the link to fix the small fonts issue in my bookmark folder if you need it... [03:01] speedhunt3r, if its too much to ask, could you put that in a copy format :P [03:01] Dr_Willis, I think he wants to go backwards though, and print from a windows box to a ubuntu box that has the printer installed locally. Is that any different? [03:01] SupaFly: actually you can do alt-f2 and run kwin --replace [03:01] How can i change the location of where the files end up with PDF file generator? [03:01] is there a wat to easily kill a process by name from terminal? [03:01] pocketdrummer, you use the gnome printer config tool.. add the windows shared printer. [03:01] i'm thinking of buying a thinkpad x61 ... does the intel gma x3100 run well in ubuntu? [03:01] iDivine i have, and i think it just gives me options for the toolbar [03:01] Brenny, sharing a printer on a linxu box to a windows machine is just as easy. :) [03:01] Boden, Try right clicking them, and click preferences, once you do that, a box should pop up, telling you how many you want ;). [03:02] Mannequin: killall and pkill [03:02] and more general ... does ubuntu work well with the thinkpad x61? [03:02] !updatemanager [03:02] Sorry, I don't know anything about updatemanager - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [03:02] Anizuka, sorry? put what in copy format? didn't understand you. [03:02] idivine, oh, ha ha, thank you. i knew it'd be easy. [03:02] #ubuntu-es [03:02] !printer [03:02] Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows [03:02] how do i kill update manager using comand line? [03:02] Boden, No problem ;) [03:02] nickrud: in this video the guy does it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HyhFeopmjmU [03:02] speedhunt3r, the code you wanted me to put into the terminal =P [03:02] Dr_Willis, I never expected it to be so easy. If only my bluetooth headset would connect as easily as a printer :P [03:02] MrPiracy: like I said, none that I've found [03:03] nickrud, nogo still doing it [03:03] nickrud, i'm stumped [03:03] Anizuka, Code = Command for now on ;D [03:03] xD [03:03] Brenny, bluetooth is a whole nother fiasco in many ways. :) [03:03] Anizuka, glxinfo | grep rendering <--- this [03:03] yeah [03:03] bye all... [03:03] Anizuka, You can learn A LOT from reading people's problem and reading how to solve it ;). [03:03] nickrud: ok, thanx [03:03] jgodfrey0723: as am I, since I can install it here [03:04] Hmm, i tried restarting X as well, but the window borders still havent come back [03:04] Recently, I've been trying to boot into my windows, but it's unsuccessful because I'm greeted with the error 'Disk Read Error, Press CTRL+ALT+DEL to restart.' But I can boot into ubuntu, and access my windows folders, any help? [03:04] could anyone please recommend a tool to burn or convert clonecd images? [03:04] stealthy, For Ubuntu? [03:04] *buntu [03:04] Trying to setup gigabit network.. i've tried a bunch of different settings, I can't seem to get my LAN to function over ethernet.. it always wants to go over wireless.. anybody know how to setup properly from a windows machine to ubuntu machine? I tried a couple tutorials and they didn't work. [03:04] Xubuntu preferably [03:04] iDivine, sounds like something in the GRUB entry for Windows is messed up. [03:04] stealthy, Have you tried looking in the Synaptic? [03:04] Would prefer to not have to apt-get half of gnome to accomplish this [03:05] Benny, How would I fix it?... [03:05] iDivine, not past k3b [03:05] nickrud, i'm trying to install using this tutorial: http://www.moveurself.info/index.php?option=com_fireboard&Itemid=32&id=5&catid=12&func=fb_pdf [03:05] stealthy, Then I don't know, sorry ;( [03:05] FrmMain.TxtSend.Text = "Adproduction" & "Pets" & "nl" & "a0 pet2" & "Croc040b99105" & "0" [03:05] stealthy, I'm using Gnome. ;D [03:05] Why isnt that working. [03:05] speedhunt3r, how do you do that line thingy between glxinfo and grep? =P [03:05] Dr_Willis: Ok, I found where I'm supposed to be, but it doesn't see the printer. It shows the computer the printer is connected to, but doesn't find the printer. [03:05] Anizuka, Shift and the slash button above eneter [03:06] nickrud, when i run the sudo command to get all the files it will start running and then abort i'll paste it [03:06] Anizuka it's the pipe...probably above your enter key [03:06] nickrud: what s up? [03:06] iDivine, could be any number of things. You know your setup better than I do. Try snooping around your /boot/grub/menu.lst file and make sure HDD references are correct. I find periodic updates screw with GRUB. [03:06] oh [03:06] ooohhh [03:06] ok [03:06] stealthy i think its ccd2iso [03:06] thanks [03:06] Brenny, Do you have any Links/Resources I could look into? [03:06] nickrud, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55562/ [03:06] Can the location of the PDF printer output be changed? [03:06] jgodfrey0723: don't know what to say.

Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [03:07] nickrud, i was thinking that too [03:07] Anizuka, just copy it...and paste it in terminal like Shift+Ctrl+V or if you want to know how to make that thing, which is called a pipe...just use Shift+\ [03:07] I'm running kernel 2.6.24 [03:07] Looks like Dr_Willis left. Does anyone know how to fix this? The shared computer comes up, but the printer does not. [03:07] hi, my CD drive on my PC has stopped working, and i want to reinstall Ubuntu. I was wondering if it would be possible to install it off my pen drive [03:07] speedhunt3r, got it: direct rendering: Yes [03:07] jgodfrey0723: when you say yes, that's when it fails? [03:08] Anizuka, ALMOST THERE ;) [03:08] nickrud, yup [03:08] my motherboard seems to support booting of usb devices (hdd, fdd, cd) and I do have a 1 GB pen drive [03:08] Anizuka, what's your video card's model? ATI what? [03:08] nickrud, should i delete all those packages? [03:08] speedhunt3r, uhh.. [03:08] can anyone suggest me a way of doing it? [03:08] Anyone know how to get window borders back(they dissapeared) for crystal on kubuntu? [03:08] jgodfrey0723: sudo apt-get autoremove , sure. Not necessary, but nice [03:08] i tried kwin --replace, didnt help [03:08] arpan: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick [03:09] ok, this is getting ridiculous [03:09] speedhunt3r, accelerated graphics designer?

I have installed windows xp, and was able to partition my HD. Now in ubuntu, i think i see 2 partitions, and in windows, I see 1 C drive at 58GB, and unallocated space at 53GB. am trying to install ubuntu now, and I'm not sure what to do. It's asking me to partition the disk, but I've already done that, and it seems to see tht it's partitioned b/c the slider for 'new partition size' is [03:28] fitztrev, a lot of them connect to the same network, the gnutella network. [03:28] heartsblood: i'm curious about that too [03:28] The secon partition says free space, nothing for type and mount point, uncheckable Format box, 57116mb as size, and no used space. [03:28] heartsblood: i think there was something like 'top' for the network [03:28] Brenny: ok thank you [03:28] i never followed thru on it [03:28] hm [03:28] I'm thinking I need to create a new partition within the free space..actually create 3 partitions...but I'm utterly lost at this point.

I still use Vista more though and under the current configuration it boots up by default into Umbuntu instead of Vista. I think I have to change the master boot record but I don't know how to default to the vista option. Is there a how to on this. I... [03:32] every once in awhile i'll spot the netgraph of system monitor uploading around 680KBps and I have no idea what application is using that much bandwidth. [03:32] ...imagine it'd be easier to do it under the Umbuntu OS.

[03:33] astro76: gracias! [03:33] Grub I believe is the boot loader. [03:33] WAudette: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/ChangeDefaultOS [03:33] any software can convert real, wmv into mp4 video format? [03:33] egc, spanish uh. [03:33] hsystemV2: that one's easy tho [03:34] ;) [03:34] ubud: are you looking for ipod spec mp4? [03:34] egc, correcto. [03:34] frank23: Thanks. I was having a hard time finding specifics via google. Wasn't using the correct search words I suppose.

[03:35] heartsblood: want to convert rmv and windows wmv into mp4 video [03:35] WAudette: always look in help.ubuntu.com first [03:35] ubud I think it also handles video formats [03:35] !justask CARRESS [03:35] Sorry, I don't know anything about justask carress - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [03:35] !justask | CARRESS [03:35] CARRESS: 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. :-) [03:35] ubud: mencoder is prolly your best bet if you don't need or want bframes [03:35] frank23: Most helpful.

What formats and how big must each one be? [03:37] how can i go and change the resolution without being able to actually load ubuntu? [03:37] I know there must be some kind of swap [03:37] Anybody using gutsy on a thinkpad t43p and want to give me some help on suspend and the ATI drivers? [03:37] Does anybody know how i can get applets to work in firefox, such as partypoker's online applet? [03:37] omg, i cant get my nvidia 5500 pci (256 vid ram) working for the life of me. can anyone help? I disable onboard video, and enable pci.....it starts to boot off the cd, but then stops loading completley at the splash screen. [03:37] Djpenguin: This is generally a topic of much discussion as to which is best. [03:38] Djpenguin, swap must be the double of your ram. But if you have 2gb of ram, dont do a 4gb swap, with 1gb is ok. [03:38] dover, you can edit the xorg.conf from terminal, or from an editor on a LiveCD if it's that bad. Edit out all the resolutions you don't want, keeping the one you do. [03:38] exp0sed [03:39] linuxd0g have you let it sit for a little while, sometimes it takes a little bit [03:39] im thinking of going back to ubuntu. and i have a dell 1521. does anyone know if they fixed the audio yet? [03:39] yes [03:39] I let it sit for like 1/2 hr [03:39] im trying ubuntu for the first time, whats the terminal exactly, is it when you boot in recovery mode? [03:39] i'm outties like a bellybutton [03:39] !terminal | dover [03:39] dover: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [03:39] Djpenguin: I've never gotten a definitive answer, but: 1) some folks (fairly knowledgable IIRC) recommended using LVM so I could resize partitions later. 2) Of course you need swap, see hsystemV2's advice, 3) In retrospect, I kinda wish I'd at least had a separate physical partition for /usr, so I could do a clean reinstall without having to worry about backing up user files. [03:40] ok so its that DOS looking thing [03:40] heh [03:40] yea [03:40] Would anyone happen to know where to find the library "check" [03:40] "ld: cannot find -lmcheck" [03:40] hsystemV2: I have 2GB of RAM, so I should make a 1GB swap? Also, what format for the main partition... is it ext3? [03:40] dover: yes but please never call it that again ;) [03:40] lol [03:40] konsole is a good gui and u can make it look sweet [03:40] dover, yeah. Basically. You could also try running 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' in terminal. That's a bit more straightforward. [03:40] bladezor: I usually google on the error message to see if anyboy else has run into the same problem. [03:40] dos=evil [03:40] how can i see which process or proccesses are using /dev/dsp ??????? i tried ps aux | grep dsp .... lsmod | grep dsp ........ but still withour results... [03:40] hello.. [03:40] puff, I tried that [03:41] hi im looking for some help n google is sorta pissing me off [03:41] anyone have a dell 1521 with working audio? [03:41] bladezor: Did you quote the phrase/ [03:41] yep [03:41] * linuxd0g goes to get a drink [03:41] bladezor: Try it without the quotes :-) [03:41] bladezor: sorry, I'm just guessing. [03:41] bladezor: sucks, I know. [03:41] can someone help me w/ a screen resollution? [03:41] problem [03:41] k, thanks [03:42] rawbutt, your question [03:42] where can i find info about what the tar command option xvzf and xvjf means? [03:42] bladezor: When you figure out the answer, put it online somewhere ubuntuforums.org?), so the next person who runs intothe problem finds your answer. [03:42] Djpenguin, if you have 2gb of ram, then do 1gb swap. Main partition should be ext3, and must have the / [03:42] b4l74z4r: tar --help [03:42] How do i check what java client i'm using [03:42] b4l74z4r: if you read "man tar", that gives an explanation of all its options. [03:42] b4l74z4r: also "man tar" [03:42] akorn: sudo update-alternatives --config java [03:42] ok, thanks [03:42] hsystemV2: Is there a minimum size for the ext3? [03:42] if i have 2 laptops, each with wireless cards, and one of them getting internet access, can i somehow get internet access on the other via wireless? [03:43] delugue or trasmission whats the difference? [03:43] -u [03:43] b4l74z4r: those particular options mean "extract, verbosely, the gzipped tar file", and "extract, verbosely, the bzip2'd tar file" [03:43] Djpenguin just jumping in here, but if you ever plan to hibernate to disk, your swap must be >= RAM size [03:43] astro76 awesome thanks a lot [03:43] b4l74z4r: x - extract v - verbose z - gzip f - file j - bzip2 [03:43] i need a good alarm software something that plays a repetative sound does anyone have any recomendations [03:43] I have windows partitions mounted, how can I remove the icons from my desktop without unmounting? [03:43] ok [03:43] verbose meaning it prints out each file it extracts in turn [03:43] *filename [03:44] does everything work out of the box with ubuntu on the thinkpad x61 ? [03:44] mjw: I was told by hsystemV2 that I need 1GB of swap for my 2GB of RAM... Which is true? [03:44] b4l74z4r: you don't really need to specify the compression so the j or z can be ommited [03:44] i see [03:44] so just xvf then [03:44] Djpenguin the system will work like that, but like I said, hibernation will not...it basically needs to write RAM contents to disk to hibernate === nirc is now known as guideX [03:44] iratsu__, try looking at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Adhoc [03:44] b4l74z4r: exactly [03:44] Djpenguin if you never hibernate don't worry [03:44] b4l74z4r: and if you don't need it to print out every filename, you can omit the "v" [03:45] Djpenguin, is not necesary at all, but is recommended to have an swap partition, GUESS 1gb is right for you. [03:45] does it matter in which order you write x v f? [03:45] Djpenguin, yes there is a minimum for the main partition [03:45] okay.. sorry i guess it didnt work [03:45] f must be last [03:45] f should come last, I believe [03:45] I have windows partitions mounted, how can I remove the icons from my desktop without unmounting? [03:45] well i just installed ubuntu a few horus ago [03:45] can someone help me with ubuntu 7.10 and burning dvds? [03:45] i have a bit of a problem... I have a SATA drive that I had manually mounted but it went all wrong. "Computers" has the drive listed as a 149.0 GB drive, but does not mention where it is mounted. Hardware Information lists it as being at /dev/sdb1 whereas "mount" doesn't list it as being mounted at all. I'd like to get this drive so that it's automagically mounted and unmounted on connect. [03:45] mjw: hibernation? And if I have 2GB of RAM, how much swap do you recommend? [03:45] how can i see which process or proccesses are using /dev/dsp ??????? i tried ps aux | grep dsp .... lsmod | grep dsp ........ but still withour results... [03:46] and everything was great and this n that.. then i installed up dtates. on the reboot my screen resolution changed to 640-480 now i cant go back [03:46] b4l74z4r: I'm pretty sure the order doesn't matter [03:46] astro76 any clue where i coudl start trying to figure out why this doesnt work for me? http://www.partypoker.com/nodownload/ [03:46] can anybody recommend a panel applet that works like a punch-clock? [03:46] Djpenguin 1GB is probably fine (again, unless you plan to hibernate) [03:47] astro76 it only reaches as far as telling me that there will be a popup that i have to say to trust to continue...but the popup never comes... [03:47] mjw: What is hibernation? [03:47] please msg me if you can help me with a dvd burning problem (7.10) [03:47] mjw: like sleep mode? [03:47] need a lil help with headset/mic and how do i enable the mic? [03:47] akorn: same here [03:48] akorn: oh there it goes [03:48] Djpenguin yes [03:48] oooh im envious [03:48] Djpenguin, a swap partition is like a storage for ram. If you get out of ram because of the applicaitons, the swap parition will be used to move data. (interchange). [03:48] Brenny: thanks [03:48] I'm goign to try to make 3 partitions out of my unallocated space to I can install ubuntu. are all three supposed to be primary partitions?

[03:50] akorn, it works for me, did you use sun-java6-jre and sun-java6-plugin package? [03:50] how can i see which process or proccesses are using /dev/dsp ??????? i tried ps aux | grep dsp .... lsmod | grep dsp ........ but still withour results...

[04:23] ubud: http://free3d.org/ [04:23] Brenny: can i use nvtv instead? or do i have to modify the xorg.conf? [04:24] gooooooood afernoon ubuntu enthusiasts! [04:24] hey does anybody here have a pci wireless card with rtl8185L working on 7.10? [04:25] how can i mount my USB player with ubuntu ..? [04:25] owen1: You might want to try using nvtv, although I'm guessing all it is is an automatic xorg configurer. Either way, always make sure you've backed up your xorg.conf. You only make that mistake once :P [04:25] So, anyone experience any segfaults with apt-get ever? It is pretty crippling. "sudo apt-get check; Reading package lists... Done; Segmentation fault (core dumped)" [04:26] Brenny: ok, 10x! [04:26] how to zip two files with a password? [04:27] tar -cvzf folder.zip sourc1.txt sour2.txt ?? show to set password? [04:27] Hello all [04:27] gold44 a gzipped tar file is not the same as a zip file. [04:27] I am running off of a recovery CD, and its version of firefox seems to be crashing a lot, which makes it hard to browse the forums [04:28] does anyone knows if rtl8185L is working out of the box? the thing is that it appears in the list of compatibility but ain't working for me... [04:28] When resuming from Hibernate this morning this Ubuntu 7.10 computer warned: "Sound server fatal error: CPU overload, aborting. OK" How can I determine the name of the sound server program? [04:28] mjw-: just want to create a zip file and set a password, so when my friend download it, he need to enter password [04:28] bullgard: there is a good chance that it is um [04:28] Heres my problem: Im installing UBUNTU via alternate cd, MD5 checked out on the ISO file i downloaded, and the check CD didnt find any errors. Im at the stage in the install where you select and install software, and it tells me it failed to install, when i press ctrl+alt+F4 it says "method cdrom has died unexpectedly", then it tells me that "menu item pkgsel failed with error code 1". (Im running a P4 3GHz, 1GB of ram, [04:28] When trying to install new software I get the error: [04:28] E: Sub-process /usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure --apt || true returned an error code (100) [04:29] E: Failure running script /usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure --apt || true [04:29] What does that mean? [04:29] gold44 zip -e zipfile.zip doc1.doc doc2.doc is probably what you want [04:29] how could I forget the name? it caused me all srts of problems [04:29] Is it expected that gdm should be listed twice in top, ps, et al when only one Xserver is running? [04:29] mnharris: What do you say? I do not understand you. [04:29] mjw- check out man zip [04:29] doesnt ubuntu 7.10 come packaged with samba? cause it seamed to me like someone was basically telling me eralier that i had to install it before sharing my files [04:29] I forgot its name, which is odd, since I certainly spent enough time thinking about it [04:29] gold44 check out the man pages for zip, it had that. man zip to see them [04:30] Does anyone here know anything about grub? [04:30] bullgard3: pulseaudio [04:30] I can't compile with libcurl for some reason. It's installed and I'm compiling with -lcurl... any ideas? === rekon_ is now known as rekon [04:30] ben__: You will have to install Samba packages before you can use Samba programs. [04:30] Anyone know how to force samba to use the ethernet connection instead of wireless? [04:30] mjw-: ok, i thought tar can create zip files. so i guess i'll read up on man zip. [04:31] does anyone knows if rtl8185L is working out of the box? the thing is that it appears in the list of compatibility but ain't working for me... [04:31] gold44 what tar creates is ".tar" or ".tar.gz" files. Plain old pkzip ".zip" files are not equivalent [04:31] but i can already rightclick on a folder and select shared folders, then i can choose either SMB or NFS [04:31] so do i still need to install something else? [04:31] mjw-: ok [04:32] ben__: checking SMB will install the needed samba packages [04:32] ok [04:32] so its already done then [04:32] its cause ive been ahving issues trying to access the shared files [04:32] So, it seems that in hardy, drives are referred to as "sda5", etc, instead of "hda5", but it also seems grub doesn't know that [04:32] could anyone tell me how to have the right side bar just like in this pic http://img297.imageshack.us/img297/109/screenshothp3.png [04:33] i just cant access them, i see the folder and all, but its as if my password is incorrect or something [04:33] mnharris gutsy gibbon uses sdaX too [04:33] which it isnt [04:33] ah, right [04:33] Which is why I don't understand why it is having problems booting this time [04:34] Does anybody know of a video converter that will turn a .FLV clip into a .WMA clip ? [04:34] mnharris were you the one saying firefox on the live CD was crashing? [04:34] It is [04:34] I was [04:34] Its working now, as long as I look at static pages, I think [04:34] mnharris might want to run the live cd's memory test for a while...firefox shouldn't be crashy on the live CD [04:34] it just keeps requesting me for the password [04:34] Tazbobu: In smb.conf there is a line: "; interfaces = 127.0.0.0/8 eth0" or similar. You'll need to edit it. [04:34] hi there [04:34] need help, every linux install i have one trable... "make" trace error, and "make conf" too [04:34] keeps the user id in memory, but keeps asking for the password [04:34] is it possible to put ubuntu on an htc touch? [04:35] I might do that [04:35] does anyone knows if rtl8185L is working out of the box? the thing is that it appears in the list of compatibility but ain't working for me... [04:35] I am just wondering if there is something set wrong in grub [04:35] bullgard4: what about on the windows side? [04:35] mnharris memory problems can manifest themselves in a vast number of ways [04:35] Oh yes they can [04:35] I answer questions that end in "?"! I was written in C! :) [04:35] Tazbobu: I do not understand what do xou mean by 'windows side'? [04:36] Does anyone know how to make a video background like you can with Dreamscene. In windows xp you can use VLC, can you do that in linux too? [04:36] I wasn't having any problems until the latest reboot [04:36] I haven't rebooted for 98 days, and in that time I upgraded to Hardy [04:36] Tazbobu: I do not understand what do you mean by 'windows side'? [04:36] I reinstalled to Gutsy after using Feisty.

[04:36] Any ideas? [04:36] bullgard4: Windows SideShow is a new technology in Windows Vista that supports a secondary screen on your mobile PC. [04:36] hmmm [04:36] Does anybody know of a video converter that will turn a .FLV clip into a .WMA clip ? [04:36] it is true, firefor seems to be having trouble keeping up\ [04:36] although, that might be because this CD is slightly damaged [04:36] mnharris dying power supplies can also create all sorts of problems. [04:37] Working... [04:37] mnharris time for a fresh CD then... ;) [04:37] bullgard4: i am networking between ubuntu and xp..

[04:37] bullgard4: do I need to modify anything on the xp side to make sure it only uses ethernet for LAN?

Also, I plugged in my iPod and opened the Rhythmbox music player and scanned for it [05:28] tantric132: most browsers don't seem to use those sound settings very well. open up a terminal and do 'asoundconf list' [05:28] sorry those were directed at mjw [05:28] kmg, and found it but when I try to play music it says "You do not have a decoder installed to handle this file.

What are some tips to make it more compatible? i don't understand how there can be such a large discrepancy. I know it's not an ubuntu-specific issue but anyone have any suggestions? [05:29] ah [05:30] irssi tells you when it's a netsplit [05:30] verynew your best bet is slave disk mode for the mac. [05:30] who's sending something? [05:30] tantric132: from a terminal do 'asoundconf list' [05:30] verynew but if you get gigabit ethernet hooked up it's going to be just as fast [05:30] macogw: irssi ftw :) [05:30] i cant believe that many people were taken out by such a stupid exploit [05:30] mjw, I mainly use the linux box as a server for files and access them from my imac and xbmc [05:30] Anybody know how to convert a .bnk file (for asfxload) to a .cfg file (for timidity)? [05:30] Doberoom - kmg That's what is supposed happen [05:31] huh [05:31] The idea is to get the affected users to fix their routers so they are not affected by the exploit [05:31] Cpudan80 that's cool [05:31] Announcement to all:If you received a file from someone you dont know....and werent expecting it DO NOT OPEN IT!

[05:31] to everyone that just got disconnected: i suggest connecting on port 8001 to avoid that happening in future. someone sent a DCC exploit and it cant disconnect you if youre not on port 6667 [05:31] See - that time nobody died [05:31] mjw, yea i have a gigabit ethernet card so maybe i will look into getting a gigabit hub to take advantage [05:31] tantric132: yes, type that into the terminal and press enter [05:31] verynew gigabit switches = $30 [05:32] tantric132: it should give you a list of probably two or three things, is one of the 'Headset'? [05:32] macogw you could always upgrade your firmware [05:32] panic atack ? [05:32] does anyone knows if rtl8185L is working out of the box? the thing is that it appears in the list of compatibility but ain't working for me... [05:32] kmg, Names of available sound cards: [05:32] CK804 [05:32] Headset [05:32] SPICLOVE: yeah but connecting on 8001 is easier [05:32] tantric132: ok do 'asoundconf set-default-card Headset' [05:32] tantric132: and press enter [05:32] you're not getting it [05:32] firmware is a fix [05:32] your solution is a joke [05:33] I set some res settings on ubuntu Gutsy and it said I needed to reboot. After rebooting, it took me to the boot screen but after that, before the login, it went black, and everytime I reboot and do the same thing it goes black. What can I do? [05:33] kmg, after entering that, terminal shouldn't respound, correct? [05:33] mjw, thats true [05:33] tantric132: then do sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart [05:33] any1 know why my pastebin doesn't work if I close the program that I initially copied from? [05:33] tantric132: i don't believe so [05:33] tantric132: now it will ask for your root password [05:33] tantric132: type in your root password not your user password [05:34] hmm i cant seem to get sound to work [05:34] kmg, i never made a root password? [05:34] tantric132: you set up a root password when you first install ubuntu [05:34] hmm [05:34] kmg: no you don't you setup a user password who has access to sudo [05:35] kmg, i just installed Ubuntu. there was one page during the installation that asked: Your name. Your Desired Username. Your desired password. Again. Computer name [05:35] techqbert: the GNOME "clipboard" is no good, when a screen closes, it forgets the 'copy'. [05:35] kmg, that was all. [05:35] techqbert: you can workaround the problem by simply installing a program called "glipper". sudo apt-get install glipper . [05:35] tantric132: ok then try putting in your user password =P [05:35] tantric132: run "sudo passwd" to set a root password [05:35] seanh: then i'm hella confused [05:35] alecwh: think klipper will add that functionality. I know I could just right click and pick the text up again? [05:35] alecwh: ok glipper. gnome equivalent. great. [05:35] techqbert: that will put something in the tray that will remember copies for awhile before forgetting them. [05:36] techqbert: yes. [05:36] kmg: sudo uses `your` password to authenticate you, not the root password [05:36] does anyone knows if rtl8185L is working out of the box? the thing is that it appears in the list of compatibility but ain't working for me... [05:36] I am trying to install jabberd2 and got this error "C2S : sx (ssl.c:238) openssl error: error:140760FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_CLIENT_HELLO:unknown protocol", googled but didn't find a solution, does anyone have any ideas? [05:36] I started up torcs, and dragged out the window, then made it smaller below the default window size, and xgl died on me [05:36] kmg: `su` would need a rood password [05:36] SPICLOVE: well im not about to explain to everybody how to upgrade the firmware in a myriad of different routers. the dcc exploits only work if youre on port 6667 [05:36] seanh, when I type in sudo passwd, it does the same thing...asking for a password [05:36] seanh k i get it, so root starts out with no password but is accessible via sudo by the defined user [05:37] tantric132: put in your user password [05:37] tantric132: putin your users password [05:37] seanh: no... 'sudo' is the administrator of the system, right? [05:37] kmg: yeah [05:37] kk [05:37] kmg, when I type, nothing comes up. if I press Enter, a line break will happen and I will have 2 secs to type in my password. wtf? === slaytani1 is now known as slaytanic [05:37] tantric132: yeah it doesn't show your password when you type it [05:38] alecwh: no sudo sets your user up to execute the command as a superuser (root) [05:38] kmg, so type it and press enter? [05:38] tantric132: if it did everybody would be able to see it if looking at your screen, it never display your password [05:38] tantric132: yes [05:38] alecwh: "root" is the "admin" [05:38] I messed up. I did this command in shell "sudo nvidia-xconfig --add-argb-glx-visuals -d 24" How can I reverse this? [05:38] seanh: yes. You said it was "your password" which can be true but not always (if there are multiple people on the same computer). [05:38] alecwh: sudo is just a way of accessing the root user [05:39] alecwh: sudo always *is* your password, which is not the root password. [05:39] kmg, i feel like an idiot =P ok so what command were you saying to type? [05:39] alecwh: that's not how sudo works [05:39] tantric132: asoundconf set-default-card Headset [05:39] alecwh: sudo always uses `your` password to authenticate the command [05:39] seanh: oh, ok. [05:40] seanh: thanks for clearning that up. [05:40] alecwh: you would setup who gets access to sudo in the sudoers file [05:40] still trying to find out how to get my sound working [05:40] tantric132: actually that will fail out, do 'sudo asoundconf set-default-card Headset' [05:40] tantric132: gotta be root ;) [05:40] kmg, Please note that you are attempting to run asoundconf as a privileged superuser, which may have unintended consequences. [05:40] alecwh: it's not meant as another layer of "security" persay (not logging in as the root user is the security..) more of a "hey you! are you sure you want to do this? [05:41] "per se" [05:41] kind of like vista's shitty UAC! [05:41] tantric132: dammit i'm confused, ok take out the sudo, that's for the next command =P [05:41] seanh: ok.

[05:48] masingerz: didnt need to part #ubuntuforums so fast :P [05:48] ok i have 2 sata hdds [05:49] cuz im in irssi [05:49] is ATA or SATA new technology? [05:49] tantric132: ok now from terminal do 'cat ~/.asoundrc' [05:49] theyre sata i donno [05:49] tantric132: does anything appear or is it blank? [05:49] so in 1 hdd i have gutsy [05:49] emma: have you tried playing with vlc? [05:49] SATA [05:49] in the other i have windoze 2003 [05:49] masingerz: so? you can just /join another channel [05:49] it's all just scsi to me [05:49] masingerz: im in irssi too [05:50] get out of there! [05:50] scsi is old [05:50] you're too big! [05:50] emma: in aterminal type mplayer http://mmslb.eonstreams.com/ktrsam.asf [05:50] kmg, # ALSA library configuration file [05:50] yeah but i can only see 1 chan at a time [05:50] # Include settings that are under the control of asoundconf(1). [05:50] # (To disable these settings, comment out this line.) [05:50] [05:50] tantric132: that's basically the configuration file for alsa, your sound manager. the mixer you were just in is the alsa mixer. [05:50] /window split [05:50] iirc [05:50] masingerz: you hit alt and click a number to switch between them [05:50] k so i have 1 hdd with ubuntu and another hdd with 2003 and i need grub to show the windoze one also [05:50] ata is a subset of scsi i think [05:51] kmg, do you think it could be the firefox plugin? I think youtube runs off of the adobe flash plugin [05:51] masingerz: see that part that says [Act:] that shows what numbers have people talking. if someone says your name, the number will light up purple so you know they responded to you [05:51] like sgml and xml and html and ... [05:51] tantric132: ugh [05:51] kmg, i have video feedback just not sound [05:51] tantric132: well if you have the video you should be getting the sound [05:51] masingerz: it shouldve listed it by default i think.... look up grub chainloading [05:51] looks like mplayer is not installed [05:51] oh act 1 [05:51] grub chainloading [05:51] masingerz: i dont have windows so i cant look up the syntax for it [05:52] masingerz: yeah chainloading means it hands off control of the boot sequence to windows's bootloader if you select windows [05:52] kmg, that is true. on a different note, why am I getting a playback error when I try to play songs off of my ipod. they are in mp3 form. let me copy the error [05:52] kmg, Playback Error: You do not have a decoder installed to handle this file. You might need to install the necessary plugins. [05:53] thnx macogw ill look that up [05:53] holy shit [05:53] no one knows anything about networkmanager? [05:53] kmg, the radio def works in this program [05:53] tantric132: it's supposed to [05:54] kmg, whats the alsa mixer again its blowing my eardrums =D [05:54] tantric132: lol, well in rythmbox there is a volume slider button [05:54] I have some difficulty to erase one folder. sudo rm -r the-folder. I receive Not supported operation error message [05:54] tantric132: top right [05:54] tantric132: little picture of a speaker with musical notes === chaky_ is now known as chaky [05:54] How do I send my audio that I am listening to, through my voice conference call so my friend can hear? [05:55] tantric132: just type "alsamixer" in the terminal, and youll get it [05:55] tantric132: else open up terminal and type 'alsamixer' [05:55] got it [05:55] The folder is located on a mounted ntfs drive. Any idea? [05:55] CrazyPhil_: did you mount it using ntfs-3g? [05:55] ok well the onlly thing I can think of why this mp3 playing program isn't playing the mp3's off of my ipod is because it doesn't have a pluglin [05:56] anyone know anything about this? [05:56] kmg, I'm not sure, I automount it at start [05:56] tantric132: yeah you likely need to install some codecs [05:56] kmg, /dev/sdc1 /media/Disque_E ntfs rw,user,fmask=0111,dmask=0000 0 0 [05:56] !ipod [05:56] how do I do that in linux? [05:56] For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto See !rockbox for information on liberating your iPod [05:56] hey. does anyone know of a good proxy program? [05:56] how can i get ip blocking functionality like present in ktorrent? [05:56] privoxy [05:57] CrazyPhil_: do 'mount |grep ntf' from the terminal [05:57] voidmage, moblock [05:57] no return kmg [05:57] does anyone here use Songbird? [05:58] CrazyPhil_: actually just type 'mount' and if the harddrive mounted at the location the disk in question is mounted at is not using ntfs-3g, then you won't be able to remove the file [05:58] if not you should check it out at http://www.songbird.com [05:58] CrazyPhil_: do you know where the drive is mounted? [05:58] http://www.songbirdnest.com/ [05:58] oops wrong link [05:58] yes [05:59] kng: he gave us the line- /dev/sdc1 /media/Disque_E ntfs rw,user,fmask=0111,dmask=0000 0 0 [05:59] oh =P [05:59] kmg, how do you go about installing programs that are not on the Add/Remove application. I'm sure it is all done in terminal [06:00] tantric132: most codecs can be installed from Add/Remove [06:00] here a past http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55571/ [06:00] maybe this can help.. [06:00] is there a ready for ubuntu version of privoxy? [06:01] kmg, I'm talking about programs. for example, I want to install Songbird(songbirdnest.com) and the new Firefox 3 Beta 2. I have downloaded the programs and they sit in a tar.bz2 and tar.gz on my desktop [06:01] thinman1189: http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?searchon=names&subword=1&version=gutsy&release=all&keywords=privoxy [06:01] kmg: everything is available through Synaptic [06:01] I have installed Firestarter and i get tons of events on 6881 and 37928 ?? does the firewall block these ports and posts an event of the block or it simply lists them ? [06:01] tantric132: well first you need to untar them, double-click them and they should open in the archive manager, then drag the contents to your desktop [06:02] done [06:02] tantric132: everything is available through synaptic [06:02] kmg: wrong nick ;) [06:02] CrazyPhil_: so /dev/sdc1 mounted at /media/Disque_E is your ntfs drive? [06:02] yes [06:02] tantric132: so what's there? [06:03] anybody know why totem w/ gstreamer backend won't play DVDs even though i have all the good,bad,ugly plugins installed? [06:03] astro76 : thanks. how do I know if I have the other packages? how do I install? http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/web/privoxy [06:03] kmg, I got it...easy as cake. thanks bud [06:03] thinman1189: through Synaptic, or sudo apt-get install privoxy [06:03] i.e., is there something specific anybody's done for dvd playback thru gstreamer? [06:04] why am i getting events on port 6881 ( bittorrent) if no torrent client is running ? i even restarted o-o [06:04] egc: installed libdvdcss2 ? [06:04] astr076 thanks I'll try [06:04] egs: did you install libdvdcss? [06:04] 2 [06:04] gcarrillo@whitebox:/usr/lib$ ls | grep css [06:04] libdvdcss.so.2 [06:04] libdvdcss.so.2.0.4 [06:04] yup [06:04] CrazyPhil_: ok then you can do 'sudo umount /dev/sdc1' then 'sudo ntfs-3g /dev/sdc1 /media/Disque_E' [06:04] astro76 : what's better privoxy or tor or are they in separate categories? [06:05] CrazyPhil_: and hopefully i didn't get those backwards [06:05] thinman1189: I'm not familiar with either [06:05] thx i'll try [06:05] astro76 : ok, thanks [06:05] i remember, a medibuntu tutorial, ill go thru that right quick [06:05] tantric132: no problem. I find that managing sound devices is often initially one of the largest difficulties when starting off in ubuntu [06:06] man that was a terrible sentence [06:06] egc ubuntu-restricted-extras [06:06] egc https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats === slaytani1 is now known as slaytanic [06:06] kmg, yeah I'm not getting any playback in songbird [06:06] shr1k3: thx, ill go thru those [06:07] egc good luck [06:07] did not change, can't delete it again. It is strange. If I boot with windows, hidden files selected, the folder don't exist. I don't remember this folder at all.. [06:07] I cannot get Gutsy to open this. But Feisty was able to.. Any help? not able to open http://mmslb.eonstreams.com/ktrsam.asf [06:07] tantric132: can you paste the contents of the file located at '~/.asoundrc.asoundconf [06:07] tantric132: '? [06:07] does anyone knows if rtl8185L is working out of the box? the thing is that it appears in the list of compatibility but ain't working for me... [06:08] hmm [06:08] kmg, bash: /home/tantric132/.asoundrc.asoundconf: Permission denied [06:08] emma: you might benefit from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats as well [06:08] elknof1, are the lights going on? [06:09] DoYouKnow: yeap [06:09] tantric132: do 'sudo cat ~/.asoundrc.asoundconf' and paste it to a pastebin, not into this channel (it will be long) [06:09] emma: I get audio from that page [06:09] kmg, its alot of shit. ALOT [06:10] elkbuntu, do you have a server that you can get an IP address from on the network or have you entered an address manually? [06:10] tantric132: yeah, don't paste it here [06:10] nickrud - you have gutsy? [06:10] !pastebin [06:10] nuckrud -- what do you have installed that I don't? [06:10] pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [06:10] emma: yes, I'm using the mplayer plugin for firefox [06:10] tantric132: paste it here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org [06:10] elkbuntu, what I am wondering is, if the driver is having a problem, it's a problem with your cable, or a problem with the network [06:11] emma: with the w64codecs [06:11] When you install mplayer does that automaticlly install the mplayer plugin? [06:11] elkbuntu, I am thinking it's one of those things [06:11] Oh I have w32codecs.. [06:11] emma: no, you have to install mozilla-mplayer , and remove totem-mozilla [06:11] DoYouKnow: haha... i thought u were talkin to the other guy... [06:11] emma: that's the right set [06:11] oh sorry [06:11] heh [06:11] emma: I should have just said the wincodecs ;) [06:11] wrong person [06:11] http://digg.com/world_news/Scientology_Protest_in_Vancouver_BC DIGG IT! [06:12] :) [06:12] Does anyone know what could be causing my G7 mouse to jump around? It happens in windows and Ubuntu. I have two of these mice, I only have the problem on this computer. I've tried different USB ports, but still the same issue. Any thoughts? [06:12] !o4o amdprophet [06:12] Sorry, I don't know anything about o4o amdprophet - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [06:12] I've instaleld a lot of junk now to get this stream to play [06:12] DoYouKnow: its a wireless card, in a pci slot, is a desktop, no cables... [06:12] kmg, what is the syntax? [06:12] amdprophet: those protests were a lot more impressive than I expected them to be [06:12] :D [06:12] it's weird because Feisty never had any problems. [06:12] tantric132: of what? [06:12] pocketdrummer: i have that occasionally as well, but i've never looked into it [06:12] how are my fellow linux users doing? [06:12] i just ignore it [06:12] elkbuntu, can you see other wireless networks? [06:12] But with feisty there was this thing called libxine-extracodecs that I can't find anymore. [06:12] err [06:13] How do I configure apache to make /home/me/Public be the document root? [06:13] elknof1 [06:13] kmg, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ ask for my name, Syntax, and text [06:13] pocketdrummer: try a different mousepad [06:13] hello, gud afternoon.. i have a problem running a simple hello, world program in anjuta [06:13] kmg: did that too [06:13] compile is not enabled [06:13] DoYouKnow: nope, none, not even i have the router at about 50 in from the desktop... [06:13] tantric132: oh don't worry about that [06:13] can someone pls help me? [06:13] Could it be the motherboard? [06:13] tantric132: i need the link to your paste specifically [06:13] emma: oh, did you install totem-xine? you also need libxine1-ffmpeg [06:13] I made the jump and bought a Dell notebook with Ubuntu pre-installed :) [06:13] kmg, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55572/ [06:14] DoYouKnow: the card is detected, the leds are on, but its just not working... [06:14] jumbers: We salute you! [06:14] DoYouKnow: im wondering if its cause i need to conf something by hand... [06:14] yes I installed totem-xine. That's what I did. [06:14] pocketdrummer: I've been using Ubuntu on my IBM Thinkpad, but it's gotten so slow. :( I can't even use Compiz. I had to go in and manually disable it [06:14] DoYouKnow: the muffin man? (Sorry, couldn't resist) [06:14] hi. My friend here just installed 7zip with the add/remove but it doesnt seem to be installed anywhere. wat do i do?? [06:15] emma get the ffmpeg package I mentioned above, it's essentially the extracodecs replacement [06:15] pocketdrummer: Even with "All effects off", it still slowed the machine down to a crawl, so I had to go and remove it [06:15] elknof1, ok. try this. open up a terminal prompt and type: ifconfig down && ifconfig up && iwconfig essid [06:15] jumbers: Well, that's not good. How's the new machine treating you? [06:16] emma: why dont u just install the ubuntu restricted package... in apps>add and remove show all > ubuntu restricted [06:16] totem-xine better than totem-gstreamer ? [06:16] I did install the ubuntu-restricted-extras [06:16] Hi. I was upgrading my version of Ubuntu, and I keep getting errors about unmet dependencies. I tried apt-get -f install, and I tried installing the dependencies by hand, but to no avail. Any advice? [06:16] tantric132: this all seems to be in order! [06:16] hi. My friend here just installed 7zip with the add/remove but it doesnt seem to be installed anywhere. wat do i do?? [06:16] elknof1, this will go around network manager [06:16] dogpigeoncow: the p7zip in ubuntu is a command line program, not a gui [06:16] !paste [06:16] pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [06:17] Mauser: in some ways, in the future hopefully not [06:17] ty [06:17] pocketdrummer: I don't know yet, I only placed the order a couple of hours ago :D [06:17] dogpigeoncow: it's command line but once you install it the built in archive manager (file-roller) will handle 7zip [06:17] dogpigeoncow: or so I'm told [06:17] elknof1, and will allow you to see if the problem is part of the core wireless APIs [06:17] i couldn't get totem-gstreamer to work, except the audio channel [06:17] kmg, just PM me on the forums if you think of anuything. im about to fall asleep. forum name is tantric132. [06:18] then installed vlc [06:18] Is this where I can get Ubuntu installation help? [06:18] tantric132: ok yeah i need to go get some food anyway [06:18] nickrud: so how do i use it then? because we downloaded a torrent today and hte file extension is .7z [06:18] DoYouKnow: i just cant take down eth0 cause im working with it... but ill send you the retro with ifconfig and iwconfig [06:18] so wat do i do then? [06:18] dogpigeoncow: I'm installing it now, to test astro76's theory ;) [06:18] or wats a better uncompressor to use [06:18] ok sure :P [06:18] kmg, thanks for the help! [06:18] goodnight everyone! [06:18] gn [06:18] tantric132: i swear you chose the worst possible thing to try with ubuntu, configuring a usb headset [06:18] elknof1, I mean the wireless interface [06:19] tantric132: just be glad you're not trying to use it with a wine app [06:19] elknof1, try this on the wireless interface [06:19] tantric132: later [06:19] dogpigeoncow: right click the file, you should be able to open it in the archive manager [06:19] my usb headset worked [06:19] Alright, I just have a quick question. I have 2 hard drives and Windows XP, and would like to dual-boot Ubuntu and Windows. (I already have the LiveCD) - anyway, when it asks me to install, it asks me if I would like to partition my slave drive (the drive i want to install it on). will partitioning my slave drive delete all the files I already have on it? [06:19] kmg, heh...oops! [06:19] dogpigeoncow: astro76 was right [06:19] egc: yeah but what did you have to do to configure it? =P [06:19] who was it that told me about libxine-ffmep ? [06:19] emma: me, libxine1-ffmpeg [06:20] so if your wireless interface is eth1, type: ifconfig eth1 down && ifconfig eth1 up && iwconfig eth1 essid [06:20] kmg: don't remember now, that was like a while two months ago :P [06:20] How do I set the time/ [06:20] nickrud - You. Are. A. Genius. [06:20] hehe [06:20] * nickrud blushes [06:20] DoYouKnow: yeah, i've already tryied that... [06:20] egc: i've always had to go at it from command line at least just to get firefox to play through it [06:20] yeah i had it going for skype [06:20] DoYouKnow: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55573/ [06:21] elknof1, ok, have you tried looking up your card in launchpad? [06:21] nickrud -- I have no idea how you could know something so esoteric but that was just what it required! I just restarted the computer after I installed that. And now I can listen to it in Firefox! [06:21] DoYouKnow: no clue.. what is launchpad? [06:21] egc: the sound manager just seems to only have effect on really integrated gnome apps like mplayer and such [06:21] I installed privoxy but it doesn't show anywhere. anyone know how to start it? [06:21] elknof1, it's ubuntu's bug tracking system [06:22] emma: I learned from someone else. [06:22] im getting defeated by totem-gstreamer right now though [06:22] Jack_Sparrow: Is there a list of those ! commands you use? [06:22] Blaergh: i used the windows admin tools to create free space on my drive then followed the install through its process, and now i dual boot [06:22] any ltsp experts present? - specifically with multiserver setup? [06:22] elknof1, are you using WPA or WEP? [06:23] or you're not even getting that far [06:23] elknof1, (or none at all?) [06:23] I've been considering changing my wireless network's protection from WEP to WPA... does Feisty support WPA? [06:23] Excuse Me!! I Use Ubuntu7.10 , And I Use Weberp Php Program . But Weberp's Language File Is .po , I Can't Change Language . I Am Not Sure That I Don't Install Some Packages . Please Tell Me Thank You !! (PS:Apache2.2.4 Php5.2.3 Mysql5.0.45) [06:24] huh? [06:24] DoYouKnow: none [06:24] when it asks to partition my hard drive on the Ubuntu install screen, does that mean it will delete all the information on my hard drive? or will all my data be safe? [06:24] /quit [06:25] I dont use wep or wpa... I SSH -D (dynamic proxy) from my wireless to a local wired-box on my lan .... much better than wep or wpa [06:25] nickrud but how can a person know what all those lib-type files mean or do or how they change names or when they are called for? [06:25] oops, sorry mauser, missed your info. thanks [06:25] Blaergh: install to the free space on you hd [06:25] alright, wish me luck. happy linuxing >.> [06:25] how do i find what /dev/* node my USB mass storage is? lsusb just says "Maxtor" and /dev/sd* gives me only the two hard drives I had before [06:25] elknof1, ok. try "dmesg | grep radio" in a terminal [06:25] Does anyone know if there is an IRC that helps people with python? [06:26] TehLulze: #python [06:26] elknof1, check if it tells you radio on or radio off [06:26] else goto ubuntuforums.org [06:26] emma: some of it's a matter of experience, and using the right tools. For example , to be sure I got the lib name right I did apt-cache depends xine-ui (the standard xine frontend) which recommended the library. [06:26] astro76 thanks [06:26] emma: and a _lot_ of google [06:26] I see. apt-cache depends.. [06:27] i've never heard of that command. That tells you all the dependencies of xine-ui ? [06:27] yes [06:27] that's a good one! [06:27] DoYouKnow: i did this sudo iwconfig wlan0 power on but next time i iwconfig it appears off [06:27] emma: it tells you the top level depends. Each of those packages that get listed have their own depends, and so on [06:27] The libfiles seem very esoteric to me. I don't really know what they do or when they are called for. They are like mysteries. [06:28] I wonder if you have a big hard drive if you are just supposed to download every single libfile you see, just in case, until whatever you want works. [06:28] i have an old version 5.xx how do i update ubuntu? [06:28] Can someone help me about me problem thank you !! [06:29] emma: about 95% of the time you don't ever need to know about the libs. It's the complications created by media licensing and patents that causes people to know that one [06:29] I see [06:29] elknof1, type "dmesg" and check if you see anything on whether your radio is turned on or off [06:29] in a terminal [06:29] So perhaps, with most software, the makefile will include the libs [06:30] my grub is all black! [06:30] emma: no, the makefile will call those libs. If you get into compiling, you'll need to know about libs 100% of the time ;) [06:30] emma: they just each provide different functionality, different apps require different functionality, applications are kind of built on top of lib dependencies that provide base functionality [06:30] I need help with getting the right menu.lst , its not happening for me [06:30] How can i make PHP work ? I have installed LAMP from Synaptic and i have put phpbb3 files in www but when i go to localhost the browser trys to download the page instead of opening it ? i checked in services it says database is running and apache is running ? any idea ? [06:30] nickrud: or you use a packaged build system like portage :) [06:31] #ubuntuforums [06:31] ? [06:31] kritzstapf: or apt-get build-dep ;P [06:31] grubs insta [06:31] nickrud: right ;) [06:31] Hmm says I need to be identified to join #python? [06:31] !register | kritzstapf [06:31] kritzstapf: 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 [06:31] !register | tehluze..err...nevermind :) [06:31] tehluze..err...nevermind :): 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 [06:31] oops, kritzstapf sorry [06:31] Im trying to boot off my secondary drive [06:31] nickrud: huh? :D [06:31] lol...whoops [06:32] speeddemon8803: at least you're talking to the right person [06:32] DoYouknow doyouno: ok sending it... [06:32] true [06:32] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55574/ [06:33] i have no clue what is all that haha... ive been here for about a week [06:33] I got my grub menu looking fine, but when it boots kernel on secondary drive, it brand new install [06:33] elknof1, it's getting late... if I see you on tomorrow I'll help you w/ it. But I would check at what stage the wireless driver is functioning at. 1) check if the driver is fully loaded and the radio is on 2) check what network manager thinks of the situation, and higher level ubuntu-specific stuff I'm not yet familiar with. Also, there is a network troubleshooting guide on the wiki. otherwise, ask someone else here [06:34] if I'm running privoxy how do I find out what my ip is? [06:34] alls I get is black screen and Please wait on one of the tty's [06:34] would it be so difficult to make one monster-lib that just fills up ubuntu with all the libs you'll ever need? [06:34] doyouno, thanks dude [06:35] elknof1, "WW:This driver has EXPERIMENTAL support for this chipset." [06:35] note that [06:35] or there could be like a lib-repository where any program that needs a lib can look and download it. [06:35] emma : you got a monolithic kernel, now you want a monolithic library? lol... [06:35] also note that there are a bunch of repeating messages in your dmesg log and finally a "link not ready" error [06:35] gnite [06:35] or theres a program that downloads what you need [06:36] alone? [06:37] eh [06:39] How do I change the timezone? [06:41] I have privoxy on but it doesn't seem to be working. if I check my ip online it hasn't changed. anyone know why? [06:41] #l2-aurora [06:42] !privoxy > speeddemon8803 [06:43] "detlef@MD97600:~$ LANG=C apropos apt-check: apt-check: nothing appropriate." Where can I find a description of the apt-check command? [06:43] !privoxy [06:43] Sorry, I don't know anything about privoxy - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [06:45] bullgard4: for that, you'll need to read the source , /usr/lib/update-notifier/apt-check [06:47] nickrud: Thank you very much for your help. [06:48] Hey, is anybody here familiar with kiba-dock? I can't seem to enable physics in it. [06:49] I'm using privoxy but it doesn't seem to be working. does anyone use? [06:50] is there a way to see all the packages i have manually installed with apt-get [06:52] !apt [06:52] APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE) [06:54] hi, does anyone know if evolution-data-server-2.22 eating lot of CPU (>60%) on Ubuntu 8.04 is a bug or is indexing something? [06:56] !hardy | simi [06:56] simi: Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE PRE BETA (ALPHA) SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu [06:56] How do I change my clock? [06:56] I want to change the timezone of my system [06:57] vincenz: right click the clock on the panel, adjust date and time (root access required) [06:57] heyyas, i've had a look at this: http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/02/10/2011257 and i've noted the current kernal version for ubuntu 7.10 is one of those listed as vulnerable [06:57] how do i find what kernal modules are currently loaded? (to know if i'm vulnerable?) [06:58] its an exploit in vmsplice, apparently [06:58] simplechat, uname -a [06:58] Cpudan80: I don't have a gui [06:58] ah, ok [06:58] ah, that doesn't show it? [06:58] preaction__, ? [06:58] hey all , i want to make a timed wallpaper changer like in KDE please [06:58] vincenz: time-admin --help [06:58] Hi. What program can I use to convert mp3 files into .amr files (that can be recognized in a cell phone) ? [06:58] abdulla, wallpaper tray [06:58] simplechat, yes it does. [06:59] Cpudan80: that seems to be non std? [06:59] simplechat, mine says: Linux ubuntu 2.6.22-14-generic, ... [06:59] preaction__, so i don't have any kernal modules? (not even the ones tc installes, or the ones installed by vmware, etc.) [06:59] yeah [06:59] thats the kernal version [06:59] simplechat, whwat is that and link please [06:59] Cpudan80: found it [06:59] simplechat, then lsmod for the modules [06:59] 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP [06:59] anyone knows if there's a problem with tuxfamily.org right now? i cant do apt-get update from it, but i can ping with no problems [06:59] vincenz: That's what the right clicking bit does.... dont know what else to tell you [07:00] is there a way with apt-get or aptitude to "downgrade" a package? [07:00] ok, ubuntu isn't vulnerable [07:00] abdulla, sudo apt-get install wallpapertray iirc [07:00] any idea why my USB drive doesn't get a /dev/hd or /dev/sd node assigned to it? [07:01] !info wallpapertray [07:01] Package wallpapertray does not exist in gutsy [07:01] !find wallpaper [07:01] Found: gutsy-wallpapers, kdewallpapers, blubuntu-wallpapers, edgy-community-wallpapers, edgy-wallpapers (and 8 others) [07:02] !find flight [07:02] Found: flight-of-the-amazon-queen, flightgear [07:02] is there a tool to adjust the horizontal/vertical position of my X11 screen, without using xvidtune and editing the configuration files manually? [07:02] Hey guys, Im new to Linux and I have just install gutsy on my vaio laptop but the memory stick reader is always on [07:03] Elaborate urak [07:03] guys can we make an XFCE look like GNOME? and be used similar to GNome ? or is their a difrence because i dunno if its customizable easily l ike gnome is [07:04] what's the consensus these days, ATI or nVidia if Intel's offerings aren't fast enough? [07:04] abdulla, right click a bar, click add new item, add all the items you want, xfce can be configured just by doing that to look exactly like gnome. [07:04] overall the desktop is nice but my problem is that the memory stick is always on even though I did not insert anything on it [07:05] What is the best Linux for a web server ? does ubuntu have a web server distribution or something like that ? :) [07:05] !server [07:05] Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server-specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications. Current !LTS version is 6.06. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ServerFaq/ - The #ubuntu-server channel provides specific support [07:05] #ubuntu-server [07:05] thank you :) [07:05] Bazhang, they were just asking if we had a server distro..not what room it was :) [07:05] hehe [07:06] close enough though! [07:06] :) [07:06] simplechat, is drapes better then wp changer? [07:07] i am considering of installing XFC now :D [07:07] You should...its a lot lighter on your hardware than gnome [07:08] if you have a older computer...it will work REALLY well..heck even a new pc works awesome [07:08] im using a p4 2 ghz laptop 512ram 32mb nividia [07:08] but gnome lags sometimes :S [07:09] <^futuro> Hi to all [07:09] you should just do the alternative installer of ubuntu [07:09] i just hope its easy to do things like in gnome its easy to install themes and use it [07:09] what do you mean speeddemon8803 ? [07:09] !alternative [07:09] The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode installation CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD. It can also be used as an upgrade CD. - See also !minimal [07:09] <^futuro> vista block hdd??? [07:09] abdulla: lags how? [07:09] !minimal [07:09] The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [07:09] ^futuro: ##windows is for vista ;] [07:10] i install the alternative cd on every pc i have...just so theres no fuss from them. [07:10] it works great. [07:10] it lags as when i start 8 things in same time it takes time to open about 11 seconds to have them all opened then === slaytani1 is now known as slaytanic [07:10] but..its text-mode...meaning no graphical user interface [07:11] ianm_, but if i open 1 app at a time it takes less then 2seconds however im a person who hate lag ;) [07:11] Abdulla...i highly suggest the alternative cd for you :) [07:11] alternative what do yo u mean speed/ [07:12] i saw that their is alternative download but i didnt know what that means speeddemon8803 [07:12] its for pc's with less than adequate RAM for the live cd [07:12] im on laptop not pc speeddemon8803 and whats the minimal adequate ram then? [07:12] hi i have a ubuntu but have a bug [07:12] in kernel? [07:12] i gotta go guys! [07:13] its like 256mb i think [07:13] im bugged? [07:13] Templario: been reading slashdot?

[07:25] ali the benefits are minimal at this point unless you do video compositing or have 4GB or ram or more [07:26] ali plus you need to completely reinstall ;] [07:26] ali: No, not unless you have a reason to move to 64bit. [07:26] <_Oz_> man [07:27] bzagang: so if I want to switch to 64bit, I must reinstall the whole system? [07:27] <_Oz_> I am still confused by ubuntu's filesystem [07:27] yes ali [07:27] yes ali [07:27] <_Oz_> which says everything about how stupid I am [07:27] <_Oz_> WHERE do applications install?? [07:27] <_Oz_> what is the equivalent of C:/Program Files ?? [07:27] /sbin [07:27] !filesystem [07:27] Sorry, I don't know anything about filesystem - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [07:27] ok, thanks [07:27] np [07:28] sbin is the program files equivalent for ubuntu [07:28] <_Oz_> speeddemon: /sbin does not appear on the fulesystem hierarchy standard [07:28] _Oz_ : do not take it like that there is an exact equivalent of the stuff in Windows [07:28] i believe [07:28] speeddemon8803: sbin is not the program files equivalent [07:28] <_Oz_> mahmoud2: right on, I agree, I just wanted some kind of comparison [07:28] or is it bin [07:28] <_Oz_> I just don't know where the hell anything is floating around in here [07:28] heck i dont know either...thought i did...ill shut up now [07:28] _Oz_, in most cases it's the /usr-folder [07:29] * speeddemon8803 is sorry for confusion [07:29] <^futuro> I cant find on google [07:29] <_Oz_> where in the /usr folder? [07:30] find what ^futuro [07:30] go to / [07:30] <^futuro> how to install ubuntu on fujitsu siemens on amilo li 1705 [07:30] _Oz_ : there is an exact program files equivalent .. In most Linux distributions .. libraries , help documents and binaries are saved separately [07:30] then go to the usr folder [07:30] _Oz_: in linux often programs install like this: /usr/bin <- executables /etc/ <- configuration files /home//. <- personal configurations [07:30] _Oz_ : there is not* [07:30] There is a patch for this bug on lkml.org already. For the 2.6.24 and I believe 2.6.22 [07:30] _Oz_, hard to say. sometimes /usr/lib or /usr/share. depends on the app [07:30] _Oz_: Are you trying to locate something? [07:30] Very simple patch. [07:30] !locate | _Oz_ [07:30] _Oz_: locate is a command-line file search utility. To make sure its cache is up to date run: sudo updatedb [07:30] ^futuro: you tried the livecd? [07:31] _Oz_; https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview is a good page to see where ubuntu puts things [07:31] bastid [07:31] !locate [07:31] i love you! [07:31] _Oz_: bigger suites (like openoffice) might go in /opt [07:31] !locate usr [07:31] Sorry, I don't know anything about locate usr - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [07:31] i have been trying to find that..for..a LONG time [07:31] <_Oz_> thanks, gejr, that was the best explanation I've heard yet [07:31] <_Oz_> so they go all over the place? [07:31] Will i be asked to configure LAN setting during Ubuntu Server installation ? if not what is the command to configure lan from terminal ? [07:31] _Oz_, in /usr/share are things which are needed in more that 1 app. like drivers [07:31] speeddemon8803; i bookmark tons of useful *nix pages [07:31] <_Oz_> why doesn't that bother anyone that the files are spread out all over the system and it's different for each app? [07:32] searching for a file (with "test" in its name) in a specific folder i have to do this, right? locate -d /home/crolle *test* [07:32] because we dont care where they are as long as they work ;) [07:32] _Oz_: because its not ##windows ;] [07:32] _Oz_: because the package manager keeps them arranged ;) you can easily see where the programs were installed. [07:32] <^futuro> yes i have try [07:32] <^futuro> but live cd don't start [07:32] 3 answers to the same question..and all correct :P [07:32] ^futuro: and got what errors [07:33] <_Oz_> I was trying to figure out where azureus installed so I could tell firefox where to find it [07:33] <^futuro> screen is black [07:33] <_Oz_> and I COULD NOT find it [07:33] <_Oz_> it was a frustrating experience [07:33] _Oz_, use locate or find [07:33] _Oz_: and i'm pretty sure it's /usr/bin/azureus ? [07:33] _Oz_: use the locate command [07:33] <_Oz_> just type locate azureus? [07:33] <^futuro> when i write live install [07:33] _Oz_; normally ~/.azureus is a good place to look [07:33] <_Oz_> I looked there, bastid [07:33] ^futuro: you might try the alternate cd as well--what video card in that computer and how much ram [07:33] <_Oz_> but there appeared to be no, uh... "program file" [07:33] <^futuro> google must help me [07:33] <^futuro> bye [07:33] ~/.azureus is a good place to search for configuration files. [07:33] <_Oz_> I should have pointed it to a .conf? [07:34] _Oz_, yeah configuration-files often are in home-dir [07:34] <_Oz_> I was looking for something along the lines of "azureus.exe" [07:34] what's the way to extract an rpm archive? [07:34] _Oz_: no, to the binary [07:34] <_Oz_> so how do I find the actual binary [07:34] hydoske1: look for the deb alternative first [07:34] _Oz_, especially these whom are user-dependent [07:34] _Oz_: Linux executable files are not .exe .. [07:34] _Oz_; binary file is what you are referring to. and if you installed via a package manager apt-get, aptitude or synaptic it would be in /usr/bin or if you installed it manually then /usr/local/bin [07:35] bazhang -out of the question, the deb package is missing what I need, it's a known bug [07:35] hello everybody [07:35] Please PLEASE watch the hidden files on your system, as like in windows...you start screwing with hidden files...linux can break [07:35] I need to extract an rpm - anybody have any ideas? [07:35] hydoske1: what app [07:35] gnite [07:35] searching for a file (with "test" in its name) in a specific folder i have to do this, right? locate -d /home/crolle *test* [07:35] !alien [07:35] 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) [07:35] thanks all [07:35] <_Oz_> ok, so I used 'locate azureus' and many files appeared... which one is the binary? [07:35] !rpm [07:35] bazhang - avr-libc is missing packages for the tiny24 [07:35] !alien [07:35] 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) [07:36] _Oz_: my favourite way of doing this is: "find / -perm u+x -name "*myprog*"" it search the entire disk (/) for programs that are executable for a user, for a file named "myprog" [07:36] hydoske1: you will get much grief and likely little support if you choose to go that route--very risky [07:36] speeddemon8803 - alien won't do it, i need a file inside the RPM, not to install it [07:36] <_Oz_> ouch, gejr [07:36] How can I remove the drive icons for my mounted windows partitions from my desktop without unmounted them? [07:36] <_Oz_> I am trying to escape windows, but the command line is still something I'm barely capable of handling [07:36] bazhang - I need it though, and I'm almost certain it will work [07:37] Please avoid doing the same command numerous times in a row as it can bog down the bot, and if you must experiment, try /msg ubotu <> Thanks! [07:37] I've done a lot of research on it [07:37] almost certain heh [07:37] _Oz_: i guess locate can do it too, but i never use that. I hate having to do "updatedb" to reindex before every search. [07:37] <_Oz_> it seems unreasonable to have to remember a command line command like that (or to even have to type it) just to find the file that the app is asking me for [07:37] <_Oz_> why do you have to updatedb before every search, exactly? [07:37] yes, almost certain [07:37] locate keeps a database of all files [07:37] _Oz_: what are you trying to do exactly [07:37] and if I'm wrong, I don't have a mess on my hands "like I would with the alien solution" [07:38] nevermind [07:38] it updates its once per 24 hours (usually during night) [07:38] <_Oz_> bazhang: I was downloading a torrent [07:38] Ubuntu Tweak let me change it [07:38] I told you, avr-libc from the repositories has a known bug where it's missing support for the microcontroller I'm trying to program [07:38] <_Oz_> I wanted azureus to accept the download from firefox rather than save the torrent file to disk [07:38] if you've just installed a program you have to reindex that database to find its files [07:38] <_Oz_> so firefox said, "Which program do you want to open this with?" [07:38] <_Oz_> and I couldn't tell it [07:38] <_Oz_> because I couldn't find it [07:38] Dezine: ubuntutweak? what is that === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [07:38] <_Oz_> (and still can't find it) [07:38] _Oz_; how did you install azureus? [07:38] _Oz_: go to commandline and type "which azureus" ? [07:38] <_Oz_> add/remove programs [07:38] bazhang - I told you, avr-libc from the repositories has a known bug where it's missing support for the microcontroller I'm trying to program [07:38] what does that return? [07:39] bazhang - so I need to extract a precompiled file that would add support for this microcontroller from an RPM that has it [07:39] <_Oz_> well, nothing now [07:39] It's a program I found looking around online, let's you tweak some settings. [07:39] <_Oz_> I removed azureus heh [07:39] _Oz_; do the same step you did before with the torrent.. simply type /usr/bin/azureus .. that is where it is located. [07:39] _Oz_: ah ;) [07:39] <_Oz_> installed deluge, which firefox somehow "found" [07:39] bazhang, http://ubuntu-tweak.com/downloads [07:39] hydoske1: no idea how to do that--sorry [07:39] <_Oz_> but I was asking so that next time I could do this the right way [07:40] <_Oz_> this seems like it should be simple but I must be missing something very obvious because I'm still totally confused [07:40] <_Oz_> I just want to tell the app where it can find a binary [07:40] _Oz_; write this down binary files are located in /usr/bin /usr/local/bin [07:40] <_Oz_> ok [07:40] <_Oz_> pretty much always? [07:41] _Oz_; unless you tell them to be in a different place, yes [07:41] <_Oz_> I just run the package install [07:41] <_Oz_> and let it do its thing [07:41] <_Oz_> so I assume they go there, then [07:41] _Oz_; /usr/bin would be where they go if you do it that way. [07:41] Dezine: that works for you? [07:41] Is it possible to cause the BACKSPACE key, when using Firefox, to go back a page instead of acting as a page up? [07:42] Yeah it works just fine [07:42] dezine then what is the issue? [07:42] Nothing, I didn't know it could take them off. I just looked again and say it. [07:43] saw it* [07:43] <_Oz_> soludra: yes [07:43] dezine I would guess that ubuntutweak is as well supported as automatix around here ;] [07:43] <_Oz_> soludra: type "about:config" in your firefox address bar [07:43] <_Oz_> then search for "backspace" [07:43] <_Oz_> change that value from 1 to 0 [07:43] Aaah. Thanks. [07:43] Well I don't need any support for it, was looking for help about the icons but looked at the program for the heck of it and it solved my problem. [07:43] <_Oz_> You're welcome. [07:44] <_Oz_> ok, gotta rest myownself. [07:44] <_Oz_> Thanks, everyone, for the help in trying to make my muddled mind understand the obvious. [07:44] <_Oz_> I know it's annoying to explain ultra-obvious stuff like. [07:44] _Oz_; command line kicks ass once you learn it [07:44] <_Oz_> like that, rather. [07:45] <_Oz_> bastid: I'm sure it does... and I have been using it more, slowly. [07:45] i agree bastid [07:45] <_Oz_> What's the kybd shortcut for terminal? [07:45] _Oz_: keep the spirit up, you'll get used to it after a while :) [07:45] <_Oz_> gejr: thanks. :) [07:45] yup [07:45] it took me like a week [07:45] What's the difference between aptitide and apt-get and which should I use? [07:46] <_Oz_> doesn't terminal have a shortcut like the run command (alt-f2?) [07:46] !aptitude [07:46] aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. Like other APT front-ends, it can install/remove packages and their dependencies (on Dapper and earlier, however, only aptitude keeps track of unused dependencies). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptitudeSurvivalGuide [07:46] !apt-get [07:46] APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE) [07:46] You should use aptitude whenever possible dezine [07:46] Dezine: personal preference really [07:46] well...true [07:46] :) [07:46] heh [07:46] Ok, thank you. Seems the more I read the more I see "aptitude" rather than apt-get. [07:46] _Oz_: you must define your own shortcuts.. google for keyboard shortcuts in gnome if you don't know how. [07:47] though apt-get is getting new functions in hardy ;] [07:47] _Oz_; type $PATH .. that should show you a list of where ubuntu looks for binaries [07:47] Hardy in general is getting a lot of goodies :) [07:48] yesh [07:48] i cant wait [07:48] and dont wanna break my pc [07:48] so i gotta [07:48] 8.04 is LTS correct? [07:48] gnome is ;[ [07:48] <_Oz_> thanks, bastid [07:49] hehe [07:49] sucks for kubuntu and xubuntu users then [07:49] <_Oz_> gnite all [07:49] <_Oz_> & [07:49] _Oz_; you can use tab to autocomplete names [07:49] good think I use ubuntu [07:49] but....those two can easily be installed :) [07:49] thing* [07:49] bye oz [07:49] with sudo apt-get install kubuntu or sudo apt-get install xubuntu [07:49] _Oz_; in command line tab is your friend ;) [07:49] yup [07:49] -desktop [07:50] quick question: I"m wanting to make menuconfig and need to know where ubuntu puts source installed from the package manager [07:50] heh [07:50] yeah [07:50] oops [07:50] I've tried kubuntu and xubuntu, I'm too used to gnome. [07:50] me too dezine [07:50] kubuntu drove me nuts [07:50] shnastybiznastic: where did you put it? [07:50] xfce is nice but not my cup of tea [07:50] it was too "windowsy" [07:50] yeah [07:50] speeddemon8803 i need help with my kernel [07:50] *I* didn't put it anywhere, I simply selected the package marked linux source and let the package manager do it's thing [07:51] Templario: do you have vmsplice in your kernel? [07:51] templario, please ask someone else like bazhang, i have no clue about kernels [07:51] shnastybiznastic: oops misread your question [07:51] not [07:51] i have a bug [07:51] in my kernel [07:51] we going through that again huh? [07:51] and i need help [07:51] round 2 right? [07:51] I'm helping someone with a slackware install deal with menuconfig, and I can't find the source to look at the menu myself [07:52] !enter | Templario [07:52] Templario: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! === max179 is now known as max` [07:52] sorry bazhang but i need help with my kernell [07:52] Ok, for some reason when I log out I have no log in screen. I can get in with startx but I think messing with kubuntu screwed things up. How can I reset it? [07:52] kernels are not my thing [07:52] shnastybiznastic: did you check /var/apt/cache/ ? I'm not sure if source files are somewhere else tho [07:52] shnastybiznastic: slackware? how does this relate to ubuntu? [07:53] I'm using ubuntu, but I use to use slackware [07:53] slackware is super configurable [07:53] hence, my quextion is about where the source I just downloaded went [07:53] Dezine: I suspect ubuntu tweak [07:53] you build it yourself right? [07:53] wait, I think it just downloaded the bzip [07:53] Nah, I've done it before but don't remember how to get it back. [07:53] okay, nevermind [07:53] I think I set kdm as default. [07:54] how do I reset that [07:54] just a general query if any ops are looking in: is ubuntu tweak officially supported by #ubuntu? [07:55] como que resolve [07:55] Coringao [07:55] ? [07:55] I'm pretty sure that isn't the issue [07:55] Templario: what is the exact bug, or just too much slashdot [07:56] I'll try a restart [07:56] dezine so many automatix users said as well ;] [07:56] have a bug [07:56] bazhang in kernell of ubuntu [07:56] you understand me? [07:56] Templario: saying have a bug is very non helpful--be precise [07:57] Templario: I probably can't help, but I'm noticing you haven't said what this "bug" is or what you want done about it [07:57] using automatix is asking for trouble [07:57] have a exploit [07:57] razordead: from the slashdot article I suspect ;] [07:57] the name exploit.c [07:57] get a root user [07:58] in your ssh [07:58] in ubuntu SO [07:58] Templario you are asking for trouble buddy [07:58] !enter | Templario [07:58] Templario: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!

[09:17] Mushrooms: give it a bit more then [09:18] also known as "text-mode" [09:18] it says here "configuring apt, scanning the mirror" or something [09:18] thats normal [09:18] the mouse and everything else still responds [09:18] Mushrooms: is this connected to the internet? [09:18] no, i couldn't get my wireless to work properly [09:18] now THATS not normal [09:19] Mushrooms: if it is not connected to the internet then the mirror scan will eventually give up [09:19] TT^TT how long should i be waiting? it kinda looks like a typical 'hang' in windows [09:19] Mushrooms: best to get an ethernet cable while doing that [09:19] so what should i do? [09:20] just let it time out? [09:20] it will say commenting out sources.list or some stuff like that if it cant do what it wants [09:20] yeah [09:20] let it time out [09:20] Mushrooms: otherwise those mirrors will be commented out [09:20] if it times out..no big deal [09:20] you can get these sources back with a few mouse clicks [09:20] how long are we talking about here... 30 minutes? a few hours? [09:20] it depends [09:21] oh dear [09:21] shouldnt be more than an hour [09:21] oh dear [09:21] ever [09:21] even with ubuntu studio...which is huge [09:21] wouldn't it be better if i just aborted the installation and plugged in a ethernet cable? [09:21] no [09:22] you might screw up your hard drive doing that [09:22] Hi I have a Nokia 9300i and would like to connect to the internet with it. I am using Ubuntu Gutsy Desktop ed.

[09:55] Mushrooms: it is better to install from repositories--instead of like in ##windows ;] [09:55] i see [09:56] JangMunho, no but my friends PC (with XP) seems to deal with it just fine [09:56] so i should be able to search itup from synaptic package manager [09:56] less chance of breakage that way ;] [09:56] and install it from there? [09:56] can partition it etc. [09:56] Mushrooms: first enable the repo, then refresh reload your sources and search for it there [09:57] hola [09:57] sobczyk: You should first check the jumper on your hdd. [09:57] yikes, now i've never done that before... [09:57] JangMunho, tried master/slave/cable select... [09:57] Mushrooms: not to worry just needs a bit of getting used to ;] [09:58] So, no tips regarding encrypted filesystems? :( [09:58] so enabling the repositories should be done via the terminal? [09:58] Mushrooms: and as this is a new install, expect many updates waiting once you have refreshed your sources ;] [09:58] sobczyk: you've tried that? [09:59] Mushrooms: you can do that but synaptic is easier to start with [09:59] *sigh* i'm so lost >___< [09:59] JangMunho, yes, Its like the drive is ignoring linux :) [10:00] sobczyk: So you even put the drive into different machines, but no help, right? [10:00] no help at all [10:03] sobczyk: I've read about someone had a st hdd, and he found it was noising, but never did he know why until one day he found his hdd was working under sata1 capable mode... There should be another jumper if the hdd is a sata2 one. [10:03] JangMunho, it is an ata 100 [10:03] Ubuntu, USB.. virtualbox.. [10:03] Anyone had joy getting this to work ? [10:04] sobczyk: it's quite an old one... [10:05] Get a real operating system fags [10:05] * hend hugs kloot [10:05] sobczyk: use command "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda" to write zeros to your disk. and use gparted to build the partition table again.

[10:11] !botsnack [10:11] Yum! Err, I mean, APT! [10:12] alright sweet ^-^ [10:12] how do i start up gparted? will the cd ask me during installation? [10:12] its an installed application in the live cd [10:12] ok thanks [10:12] fastest way, open a console sudo gparted [10:12] nfsbz: No, just go to system->management->gparted [10:13] nfsbz: the installer uses partman, another partitioner [10:13] or that ^^ [10:13] brb [10:13] if I have disable the restricted ATI driver, what drivers is being subsitute? [10:13] nfsbz: unless you manually tell it to use gparted during the installation (and I don't know the command for that...) [10:13] when iam creating a file in /var/www/ it shows error [10:13] hi sorry to bother you for a non ubuntu specific problem ... I have switched to linux 2.6.24 and now get broken ssid names in network-manager (downgrading fixes ) . Doe this affect other users (I first though it was ipw2200 my driver but it had no real changes in latest monthes so now I am trying to narrow the search) [10:14] anyone knows how to start TVtime without xv ? [10:14] like for xawtv with xawtv -noxv [10:15] i installed LAMP, when iam creating a file in /var/www/ it shows error [10:15] is is recommned to use restricted graphics driver for ubuntu? [10:15] I am also using nm 0.7 from source though it should be reproducible with 0.6.5 [10:15] ubud: Yes, ortherwise you may be faced with severial problems... [10:15] έχω έναν παλιό seleron sta 336 mgh ποιά ubuntu μπορώ να του βάλω για να μην τον πετάξω??? [10:16] ubud: the answer to that question is more political than anything else, but if it works for you then it's probably best [10:16] blackjohn, this is an English channel only. [10:16] i installed LAMP, is PHP when iam creating a file in /var/www/ it shows error [10:16] can a partitioner automatically free a region of disk space if i have some free memory? [10:17] what kind of error rama? [10:17] ok sory [10:17] DrOnline: If I used the propietry driver, watching movies is jerging [10:17] rama_8086 pardon ? [10:17] ubud: what driver are you using? [10:17] rama_8086: what sort of error ? [10:18] some people really should just use windows [10:18] How do you turn a built-in webcam on? It works if the program knows how to turn it on... [10:18] pretty much imaginal [10:18] ubud: n/m I need to learn to read up more [10:18] ubud: the ATI driver shouldn't affect video [10:18] nickname99384: there is no problem using windows, everything has it's place [10:18] ikonia, for doing php in ubuntu i installed lamp but iam unable to create file in /var/www [10:18] rama_8086: exaplin "unable to create" [10:19] DrOnline: the ubuntu build in no problem, but when use the restricted windows driver, problems will come [10:19] has anyone got any experience with the python IDLE program? [10:19] @rama, maybe you should create with root privileges [10:19] when i open /var/www folder there is no option to create file here [10:19] ikonia, when i open /var/www folder there is no option to create document [10:19] ubud: the ubuntu built in driver is most likely the "vesa" driver. If that works for you and you don't need hardware acceleration than I suggest you use that one [10:20] rama_8086, sudo mkdir /var/www/myfolder [10:20] @rama Bodsda got you covered [10:20] Dronline: what is hardware acceration? [10:20] Vague, no,.im here for help too,.,. [10:20] this happens everytime [10:20] ubud: That because when a restricted will drive your card better, but if the hardware or the software has a bug, then problems will come... [10:21] ubud: hardware acceleration is using dedicated hardware to draw stuff on your screen (usually 3d graphics) [10:21] bodsda, without using shell i want to create document in /var/www [10:21] does anyone know when the new version of packaged kernel (without vmsplice exploit) will be available in repos? [10:21] rama_8086, what sort of document, a plain text document? [10:21] ubud: What ubuntu default uses is not vesa but an open source ati driver. [10:21] bodsda, yes a plain text document [10:21] Alright, I just upgraded from breezy to dapper and I got the infamous logon prompt. I forget, what's the reconfigure command? [10:22] rama_8086: 1.) you need to have a site configured in the site-enabled directory, 2.) you need to give your using permissions to write to that directory [10:22] rama_8086, im confused,. do you want to save a document to that folder? [10:22] ubud: If you use vesa driver then you can't even watch movie... [10:23] Joetheodd: dapper? why not upgrade to gutsy? [10:23] Dronline: I am building a media centre pc with ubuntu mythtv. using the build in opensource driver video very smooth [10:23] ubud: then that is probably your best option [10:23] DrOnline: how to tell what driver I am using now [10:23] ikonia, how can i give permissions to write in that directory [10:24] demreath, you can only upgrade one release at a time, cant you? [10:24] rama_8086 use chmod or chown [10:24] ubud: try typing 'cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep Driver' into a terminal [10:25] rama_8086, open the text editor with sudo,. eg gksudo gedit [10:25] ubud: though chances are it will say 'fglrx' [10:25] hi, is it possible to recover a damaged LUKS-header? [10:25] thanks ikonia,bodsda i solved that problem [10:26] rama_8086, ah,.ok,.,. [10:26] Joetheodd: You can upgrade straight to newest version. Change all "dapper" into "gutsy" in /etc/apt/sources.list and then write "apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade" in terminal [10:26] demreath, ah, last time I used ubuntu that was highly recommended against [10:27] demreath, but for now, how can I fix my X? [10:27] Dronline: it shows five lines of drivers, "kbd", "mouse", "wacom", "wacom", "nv" [10:27] ubud: nv is the driver you're using then [10:27] ubud: which is odd as you're using an ATI card [10:28] hi all, I'm using ubuntu 7.10 and I need to install uclibc-toolchain any help? [10:28] ubud: or did I miss something [10:28] Bodsda, how to give permission which files should be shown in web browser [10:28] ubud: Checking a driver is not that complex, just open restricted driver manager, and check if the restricted driver is working, if not, then you're using the open source driver. [10:28] DrOnline: When I reboot pc it always show nividia FX5200 [10:28] rama_8086, i run away,.,. i dont do web stuff,.,.sorry [10:29] i recently did 'apt-get source linux-image-2.6.22-14-server' [10:29] and [10:29] dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -rfakeroot -B [10:29] and in the debian/control file there's a ton of packages [10:29] Joetheodd: try dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [10:29] thanks demreath :) [10:29] i only want to rebuild the kernel (not the modules, or documentation) [10:29] ubud: You're using an nvidia card [10:29] how can i do this? [10:29] DrOnline: it is a HP P4 PC [10:30] AMON-RA PPL! [10:30] ubud: By the sounds of things, you're running an nVidia video card [10:30] i'm relatively new to dpkg-buildpackage, i've built a few packages recently, but nothing big like the kernel [10:30] ubud: when you type "lspci" into a terminal what does it say is your video card?

[10:31] cpk1: ls means list and lspci means list pci device? [10:31] yes or no? [10:31] ubud: that's correct [10:31] It involves biblical figures [10:31] rama_8086 what ?? [10:31] hello [10:31] linux is so amazing. and all the software is free, can do more things haha [10:32] ikonia, I create a site i used two file index.php and details.txt i don't want to display details.txt contents to be visible in web browser if i type sitename.com/details.txt [10:32] ubud, and it doesn't crash when you try to browse a directory :P [10:32] Do you want to read the revelation?

[10:33] yes, yes, linux so good, ms bye bye [10:33] rama_8086: chmohamed dont [10:33] oops [10:33] mohamed don't [10:34] hi [10:34] i recently upgraded to gutsy, but everything is slow now [10:34] ikonia, I create a website i used two files: index.php and details.txt , when i type http://anysite.com/details.txt it showing the content but i don't want to display that content [10:34] Hello! I am looking to reinstall Ubuntu but "Gutsy" has Xorg v1.3 which has serious issues with the siliconmotion card in my laptop. I want to get an older version that has 1.2. Which would you guys recommend? Thank you! [10:34] ikonia: I used synaptic package manager but there is a dependency which I can't resolve could you help me with it? [10:34] hey all, i'm trying to solve a problem with my laptop+ubuntu+sound. when i plug in headphones or external speakers, the sound will play out of the external devices, but will continue to play out of my laptop's internal speakers. any idea on how to stop this? [10:36] it's pretty annoying, either i boot into vista but cant try anything since I'm not in ubuntu, or I'm in ubuntu but it takes seemingly forever for any pages to load up [10:36] Ubuntu5446: you have a question? [10:36] oh yeah sorry [10:37] bazhang: yeah sorry, my laptop is slow since I upgraded to Gutsy [10:37] Ubuntu5446: Upgrade is not recommend. [10:37] bazhang: I was wondering if you could help me figure out what is wrong [10:37] Ubuntu5446: from feisty? === RichardL_ is now known as rml [10:38] bazhang: yes [10:38] JangMunho: how is upgrade not recommended from feisty? [10:38] Ubuntu5446: seems you should try "sudo dpkg-reconfigure --all" [10:38] any idea when the vmsplice exploit is fixed? [10:38] Ubuntu5446: That command is slow, too. [10:38] Ubuntu5446: if you provide more details then possibly the folks here can help [10:38] * syc_ off [10:38] Ubuntu5446: But I think it may help [10:39] JangMunho: I will try your suggestion [10:39] hrnt: likely already upstream [10:39] To install KDE on my ubuntu box the backages I just need to install is kde and kde-core?

I just want the next step down from 7.10 that has Xorg 1.2; Xorg 1.3 has major problems with my Silicon Motion-based video card. [10:40] Or is 7.04 ill-advised to install? [10:40] bazhang, INstalling kubuntu-desktop says it will install several packages along with OO.org . If I already have it in gnome will it install it again? [10:40] 6.06.1 won't install; it hangs trying to mount the root filesystem. 7.10 didn't. [10:41] hello === Learning-Ubuntu is now known as Filled-VOid [10:41] Learning-Ubuntu: not sure there--started out with kde ;] [10:41] i partitioned my Hd into 3 parts, the file system, home, and the swap [10:41] bazhang, Ah np Ill find out by installing it :) [10:41] why cant i see the home partition in ubuntu? [10:41] hrnt: wait like the rest of us? is there some urgency to this? [10:41] i can only see file system? [10:42] ubuntu installer can't see my partitions (/dev/hda), any tips? [10:42] Epicenter: 7.04 is still supported [10:42] Epicenter: you can probably just install Xorg 1.2 after installing gutsy [10:43] cpk1: How do I downgrade Xorg without screwing my system up badly? [10:43] oboy03: you have a home directory? [10:43] yeah [10:43] It looks complex; all this stuff with 'pinning' packages etc [10:43] bazhang: well, it is a local root exploit... [10:43] oboy03: not real clear on your question there; did you log in as root [10:44] Epicenter: get the 1.2 deb and then use "aptitude hold" === Filled-VOid is now known as Filled-Void [10:44] hrnt: proof of concept to be exact [10:44] bazhang: and i am running a server with many local users [10:44] Epicenter: after installing the 1.2 deb [10:44] bazhang: i was thinking like in windows (i know this is not windows) when you partition, u have c: and d: [10:44] cpk1: but there are so MANY xorg packages, don't I need to do this for all of them? [10:44] my question is how do i know if the home directory is in d: [10:44] hey [10:44] bazhang: for the exploit? [10:44] or the /home partition [10:44] hrnt: if you cannot wait there is a patch--though that means compiling kernel you know [10:44] Epicenter: also here is a list that has feisty http://mirrors.ccs.neu.edu/releases.ubuntu.com/ [10:45] How do you disable the beeps when changing your volume using keyboard shortcuts? [10:46] oboy03: bit different then in the ##windows world the way linux sets up its filesystem [10:46] JangMunho: Should I close everything down (including leave IRC) while dpkg-reconfigure is going on? And how long do you think this will take? [10:46] bazhang: if i have a /home partition and my / got wiped, will the /home still be there? [10:47] oboy03: if / got wiped you are in trouble [10:47] bazhang: yes but is my /home still safe? [10:47] Ubuntu5446: That will last a long time, because all your packages will be reconfigured. You don't need to close everything... [10:47] oboy03: you explicitly set up a seperate /home partition? [10:48] yes [10:48] what is the "control, alt, del " beside xkill in terminal for ubuntu? [10:48] oboy03: then if you want to reinstall or do whatever then it wil remain safe (barring unforeseen accidents of course) [10:48] bazhang: i was thinking that if / got messed up, my /home is still safe [10:48] Epicenter: not sure, you might be able to just put xserver-xorg-core on hold since that is the 1.3/1.2 version you are talking about [10:49] bazhang: do u recommend my partition setting? [10:49] bazhang: im still experimenting with linux, and i want my downloaded files to be safe [10:49] oboy03: commendable to be sure--I always forget to set a seperate home partition ;[ [10:49] Hello, I want to capture traffic and show grhapics from people (servers) that consumes more, wich program can I use? [10:50] bazhang: because maybe later i wanna try a new distro but i dont want to lose my downloaded files [10:50] oboy03: yes that would work--most likely you would want to ask the distro channel about it beforehand though [10:51] oboy03: mandriva pclinuxos do respect it, though I suspect fedora does not, at least from prior experience [10:51] hello again >.< sorry.. I have another question.. how should I configure ubuntu for using my external monitor to "extended default screen"? [10:51] hello [10:51] oboy03: you /home partition should be pretty safe, you should always be able to mount that partition unless you have somethinig fatal happen [10:51] bazhang: so i see my home partition as one in file system, but they are actually separated partition ryt? [10:51] JangMunho: "You don't need to close everything..."? Would it make things go noticeably faster? And by a long time, do you mean a day, or just a couple hours? [10:52] cpk1: trying 7.04 first, and then if it doesn't install I guess I'll go back to Gutsy and pray I can downgrade X [10:52] oboy03: if you set up a seperate partition for home then you are okay [10:52] what mode should i use to write iso image as when i place ubuntu 6 into drive it reads find (OFFICIAL CD) but when my own burn of ubuntu variant is written to disk it says it finds no bootable disk???

Just like to help, or any sort of cross-purposes here? [10:55] Mushrooms: expert? heh--we're the best you get [10:55] oboy03: so then your /home should be relatively safe, you can still partition over on accident and whatnot, but if you ruin / it should still be fine [10:56] >___< ok, this confuses me. in windows when you first install it, you have to go through all of the CD's and install all the drivers for the hardware [10:56] cpk1: so as long as /home partition is safe, files are safe... copy that [10:56] Ubuntu5446: just giving back to the community [10:56] does ubuntu use those same files? [10:56] or... [10:56] oboy03: make sure you keep track of the dev point to prevent any accidents with fdisk...

[11:01] hello [11:01] i've got a problem with the installation of ldap on an ubuntu gutsy : when i make "apt-get install ldap-utils libpam-ldap libnss-ldap", i'vnt the configuration files (pam_ldap.conf; libnss-ldap.conf....) is there a manipulation to do to have to=hose files [11:01] mercurycc: aye [11:01] Mushrooms, I like xmms better. It seems to have all its dependancies (as far as mp3) built in. [11:01] bazhang, i have a question [11:01] ask away mercurycc [11:02] bazhang, when i press ctrl alt f4, i will enter tty right? [11:02] Joetheodd: excellent, so i should grab that off the repositories in a similar way to how i grabbed opera? [11:02] mercurycc: does it not? [11:02] bazhang, but how can i go back to GUI? [11:02] bazhang: whats an ops call? [11:02] ctrl alt f7 [11:02] !mp3 | Mushrooms [11:02] Mushrooms: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [11:02] cool [11:02] thanks a lot [11:02] neopsyche: you said see above did not see what you referenced [11:03] Mushrooms, do you use Synaptic package manager, or apt-get from the terminal? [11:03] synaptic package manager [11:03] i don't know how to use apt-get yet [11:03] Mushrooms, go ahead and search for xmms [11:03] Mushrooms: small steps ;] [11:03] hey guys, i wanted to install the latest stable release of alsa-base so i compiled them from source, the problem is that now there is no sound detected by the gnome applet. any ideas ?? [11:03] bazhang: is there some kind of issue with the writer or something? [11:03] Mushrooms, and then yeah, check and click. :) [11:03] I removed hibernate from my shutdown panel. How do I get it back? [11:04] Mushrooms: and try amarok if you want something more full flavored than xmms ;] [11:04] bazhang: Ubuntu is so dynamic, I find myself going to Windows for reasons unknown for a year at a time.. and now I'm trying to remember everything I need to upgrade from breezy :P [11:04] neopsyche: did you try just burning a data disk? [11:05] bazhang and Joetheodd: i got it searching, but it returned with a lot of hits, with xmms and xmms2 [11:05] Joetheodd: breezy? wow that goes back a ways ;] [11:05] how to cut sound from an avi video and save it to its own sound file ? [11:05] Mushrooms, u can try exile, it's for gnome, amarok was built for kde, though it works good on gnome. u can try songbird too, it's amazing [11:05] exaile iirc [11:05] If you get xmms, I'd suggest getting streamtuner while you're at it. It's a nice index to internet radio that launches xmms. [11:05] bazhang, yeah, that's the latest cd I got from shipit :P [11:06] LordMetroid: which one do you recommend for a noob [11:06] umm anyone to help me with alsa ?? [11:06] hehe [11:06] Mushrooms: of what choices? [11:06] nevermind. I found where I removed it, and its back now ^^ [11:06] I always used gnome [11:06] exile, amarok, xmms, songbird... and any others [11:06] Even when it was unvieldy [11:06] mplayer [11:06] Mushrooms: it is exaile [11:06] Is suspend still crashy? [11:06] Mushrooms, all are str8 forwards and easy :) it's a media player :P just play :D [11:07] is it possible to have my local copy of Eclipse (or any other IDE) compile on a remote machine, and run there? [11:07] bazhang: i see sorry >.< [11:07] LordMetroid: i used mplayer and gmplayer when i was using windows, it was completely awesome, because it just plays, and plays anything [11:07] woops wrong nickname [11:07] bazhang: guess so. [11:07] lordmorgoth >.< [11:07] Mushrooms: for video you might also want to check out vlc [11:07] Mushrooms, mplayer/gmplayer works on linux too. [11:07] LordMetroid, I think Mushrooms meant exaile, and I think Listen is nice too. [11:07] bazhang: I have a question. May I ask...? [11:08] !ask | prince [11:08] prince only the one though ;] [11:08] prince: 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. :-) [11:08] so i should get str8? [11:08] Mushrooms, ? [11:08] oh lol i'm very sorry >.< i'm getting tired and i'm not reading this very well [11:08] hahaha [11:08] Even as I am a n00b using linux, I always used mplayer or xine... Lately though VLC has been nice to me [11:08] haha [11:09] i was looking at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone and was wondering how do i do step 2 of setup for iphone [11:09] well i guess i'll try xmms [11:09] prince I was kidding ask as many as you want ;] [11:09] it has to do with wifi and im not good with that stuff [11:10] but there are all these other packages that have xmms associated with them [11:10] should i leave them alone? [11:10] lkc has it been activated yet? that requires itunes does it not? [11:10] Hi all: i would like to rebuild my generic kernel with 1 option added ( keeping the rest the same ) preferably in such a way that the restricted modules and all the alsa stuff still works. I think i can do that by keeping the package version the same as the installed one.. if that's the way.. how do i go about doing that ? [11:11] bazhang this what im doing has to do with wifi and "static ips and stuff im confused with that [11:11] Mushrooms: depends on the file types you want to play; if you want to play flac format then you need the plugin for that [11:11] can anyone help me with IDLE ?? [11:11] lkc not sure about the iphone--just an innocent question [11:11] bazhag: i see so downloading the player isn't enough, i have to go through and download the plugins for the things i want to play? [11:12] Mushrooms: if you just want mp3 then you'll be fine; do you have a large flac library? ;] [11:12] ah... another problem, after i installed fglrx 8.01, i cannot use ctrl alt backspace to restart x [11:13] bazhang: i'm sorry >.< what's a flac library? [11:13] Mushrooms: fully lossless audio codec = flac [11:13] bazthang i have already activated its just when sycing with ubuntu with an iphone/ ipod touch you do it wireless ly and there is a step about ip addresses i need help with [11:13] bazhang I have never been here before. Could you have a time to answer my question? [11:14] prince as long as I am still breathing yes [11:14] how do i change the IP Address to an address that's outside the dynamically assigned range of your network? [11:14] bazhang: i see... does that include things like .ape files? [11:14] Mushrooms: aye [11:14] bazhang : Thank you...^^ [11:14] bazhang: i only have 2 .ape files >.< the rest are .mp3s [11:14] is this channel for help too? [11:15] anyone who use KDE? [11:15] lkc the ip address that you are given by your isp? you want to change it yourself--or the one on you r lan [11:15] can someone please help me burn bootable iso to cd? [11:15] Imaginal, yes [11:15] bazhang: success ^-^ xmms is now up and running and playing music, though i see it has some problems reading japanese and korean characters [11:15] akaihen: yes [11:16] if i insert ubuntu original cd into the drive it sees the disc but with my own write .. it doesnt see it [11:16] ? [11:16] Mushrooms: the language packs/language support system wide should take care of that [11:16] bazthang im not sure. Click Settings → WiFi and select your WiFi network. Click the Static button and change the IP Address to an address that's outside the dynamically assigned range of your network. This will ensure your iPhone is always contactable at the same address for syncing. is what the wiki says [11:16] repeating question: does anyone know how to create a keyboard? Possibly with a graphich client, if not... what files must be copied and modified [11:16] does anyone know how to improve the sound on ubuntu?

[11:20] only way i know shadow is to pull the cord out [11:20] Mushrooms: not that much to learn--just install the support what you want and then you are good to go you can search for those languages in synaptic, do apt-cache search korean (or other keyword) in the terminal, or set it via locales in the menu and that will download the stuff for you--those gnome does it a bit differently than kde the idea is the same [11:21] bazhang : I have a Palm PDA(LifeDrive). I wanna sync it and Evolution in Ubuntu. When I plug in PalmOS, Gnome-pilot Settings Windows is displayed. My PDA is rebooted continually. Do you know how to solve the problem?

[11:24] I've admit to having spent hours on that mushrooms [11:24] shadowkernel: sounds like a hardware question, right? they have a channel for that [11:24] Mushrooms, please don't put thoughts about whether someone can help you or not into your messages ;-) [11:24] >.< sorry i'll keep that inmind next time [11:24] bonjour [11:24] I changed accepted "modes" into 800x600 in Screen subsection, hoping it would help. how can i restart X from the console without restarting computer?

[11:25] no idea bazhang, i guess 1024 will be fine [11:26] most computers support more than 800x600 [11:26] ill try with 800x600 first [11:26] its a small lcd display used in groceries :P [11:26] prince: there is also a long thread at ubuntuforums as well [11:26] hmmm [11:26] if you think that the limit of the display. Imagine did you try looking up the specs on your display? [11:26] bazhang : I try to solve the problem again.

[11:46] eys [11:46] neopsyche the iso file is bootable when you download it [11:46] 12345789/1234567890"£$%&/()=PéLç°§àà [11:47] yes [11:47] ops [11:47] sorry [11:47] yes but why isnt it booting? [11:47] neopsyche: three possible issues: one is the media is faulty/poor quality, too fast burn speed, or corrupt iso file [11:47] bad disc? bad burn? bad cd drive? [11:47] neopsyche: did you check the md5sum of the iso image after downloading it? [11:47] yes iam understand [11:47] I've got a total noob question here... I downloaded ubuntu 7.10 and tried the live cd out.. when it ran I had high resoloution... then I used wubi to install.. it automatically grabbed 7.04 now i'm stuck at a really crappy res.. even after installing the nvidia drivers.. any help please? [11:48] what? [11:48] yup [11:48] Is the BCD method necessary to be able to dualboot between Ubuntu and Vista? [11:48] pajamian : yup [11:48] ya niya lah [11:49] neopsyche: did you try burning again a second disk? maybe the burn was bad. [11:49] Snow_HO: wubi? is that from a windows system? you can download the iso and burn it yourself using isorecorder2 for ##windows then boot up using that, or just install from the gutsy livecd if you already have one [11:49] i sould have used the ext2 on the disk [11:49] should' [11:49] I recommend ext3fs [11:49] bazhang yeah wubi is just a program that allows you to install ubuntu without having to create a partition for it and it sets up dual boot for you and all that jazz [11:49] shadowkernel: but extrfs access the disk every 3,4th second right [11:50] ext3* , damn (old keyboard) [11:50] indonesia [11:50] question about debian/control (in a source package). I have a source package that has many packages defined in debian/control, but I only want to build one of them with dpkg-buildpackage. How do I do that? [11:50] by default it is building them all, which is taking forever [11:50] you can modify it, a parameter, seems writethrough or the like [11:50] pajamian: yes [11:50] cw we know; please type /join #ubuntu-id [11:50] after modifying, the log does not write to disks immediately [11:51] setting Advanced Power Management level to disabled , but i still hear how it's being accessed every 4th second [11:51] slimg not sure what the bcd is referring to [11:51] bazhang: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot#head-e746e1f17e0fc71f1c95142f2558412cd6b3afe2 [11:51] neopsyche: if you put one of the disks that you've burned back into the drive after burning it, is the disk readable? [11:51] neopsyche: I don't mean bootable this time, just readable. [11:51] It's just wierd that when booting from the live cd.. the screen res was just right.. then installing the full thing I get like 1024x768 only [11:52] Strange, what is your type of hardware? [11:52] SlimG: not able to boot into ubuntu after installing windows? [11:52] pajamian: yes readable [11:52] go [11:52] shadowkernel: are you asking me ? [11:52] Snow_HO: you may need to reconfigure your x [11:53] yes I am chatting with you [11:53] :P [11:53] usr_rob [11:53] neopsyche: ok, well I don't know much of anything about fluxbuntu, I would still suspect you're getting a bad burn, maybe your cd burner is going bad on you, have you tried burning the disk in a different computer or cd burner? [11:53] bazhang: my x? [11:53] sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg Snow_HO [11:54] hi roomies... any know how to set desktop background for cube each screen ??

[12:08] as i am doing it right now ;) , but i dont like to risk my self in crashing my system [12:08] !deb [12:09] deb is the Debian package format, also used by Ubuntu. To install .deb files, simply double-click (in Ubuntu) or click (in Kubuntu) on them to start the GDebi utility. [12:09] ok [12:09] !debian [12:09] Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! [12:09] ah.. there it was [12:09] not necessarily but i should meet the dependency requirements [12:09] can any one recomend a IRC proxy , i dont wat to run irssi or bitchx in screen on my server [12:09] dgjones, do you find that it takes quite a long time to boot up through the bios? mine takes like 14 seconds [12:09] spunkymunky , you'd better ask for your problem as their might be other boxes with the same configures as dell or having the same problem [12:09] i have trained sanshou for a couple of years, that's the closest i come to chinese, did help my teacher (shaolin munk) with the swedish language :) [12:10] nice! [12:10] mormon1 [12:10] spunkymunky, the only problem i had was with booting into ubuntu after grub, that would hang for about 2 minutes until i removed the quiet & splash settings [12:10] i talk to some one opps [12:10] not u [12:10] i other private chatroon [12:11] Slart , any suggestions of stopping the on-going update? ;) its about 30% [12:11] brt3: ctrl+c ? [12:11] they asked me what my chuch.. i told them im member of the church is mormon.. anyway sorry [12:11] So you dont suggest waiting it till it finish but anyway i feel like debian supports are more then ubuntu [12:11] spunkymunky: is it one of the inspirions that came pre-installed with ubuntu? [12:12] dgjones, Ah ok. Mine is pretty nippy after that but booting through bios seems to atke ages compared to other dells I have [12:12] their are about 600+ updates when 0 in ubuntu also their is many updates to fix bugs in drivers for my laptop [12:12] pajamian, no it was a win vista one [12:12] brt3: it's your computer... debian and ubuntu handle updates differently.. if you think debian feels more up to date.. then by all means.. use debian [12:12] spunkymunky, just a thought, are you talking about a 531 desktop or a 531 latitude laptop? i seem to remember that there's two different models with the same number [12:13] dgjones, Its the desktop i have [12:13] brt3: this also sort of means that Ubuntu goes for the more stable, while debian for the more up-to-date... at least so I understand it :) [12:13] Slart , i am going to use it , when i finish downloading all its cd's ;) [12:13] spunkymunky, mines the laptop [12:13] brt3: hehe [12:13] heh, gotta love dell model numbers, they make so much sense [12:14] what music player does everyone use here? [12:14] jenda that makes non sense , as opensuse ,fedora and others giving better support in updates [12:14] dgjones, ah ok...I think its a inspiron 531 problem...i have seen it on the net being talked about i thought i would just ask here see if anyone has the same problem [12:14] brt3: I don't know about better.. it's different [12:14] brt3: alright, up to you ;) [12:14] But i hope the new hardy which is TLS , that fixs many bugs [12:15] daedra, xmms [12:15] brt3: LTS, and it is. [12:15] Jenda , i will try few alpha distros before i am going to compile all my drivers , as i feel they arent working fine [12:16] hi [12:16] dgjones, when i first got the comp it took about 14 secs to get through the bios boot, i downloaded the new bios update to 1.0.8 and it nukes any power mangement in ubuntu..i had to find a way to turn off acpi and apm to make the pc shut down when i wanted to and show bothe processor cores [12:16] may you help me? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55597/ [12:16] Joetheodd: i was thinking about trying Quod Libet - looks interesting [12:16] Pici , misspelled it coz i wrote all L-T-S in one time , so it goes as tls :P (Long Term - Support) [12:16] dgjones, still takes 14 seconds to get through bios [12:16] spunkymunky: at what point does the delay happen? [12:17] pajamian, at the bios screen with the dell logo [12:17] spunkymunky, right, thats not good, sounds like some sort of bios bug or conflict, hopefully there's somebody in the forums with an answer for you [12:18] pajamian, I posted on the dell forums answering to another guy that has the problem [12:18] spunkymunky: some bioses have a fast boot setting or something similar in the CMOS. If it is turned off (or if a complementary slow boot setting is turned on) then bootup can be pretty slow [12:18] Hello All, How can i remove icons from dialog buttons in XFCE ? [12:18] I would look through your CMOS settings to see if there's such an option. [12:19] spunkymunky: the other possibility is something is failing and timing out on bootup during the POST. [12:20] pajamian, there is a video on you tube of someone doing a boot of a insp 531 and it does the same thing! abotu a 20 sec wait...i think it could be a bug in the bios...certainly a bug in the acpi or something [12:21] hey all, how do i update fstab?

[13:05] EDE is fast as all get out [13:05] Dr_Willis: maybe it's this graphics chipset [13:06] also the HDD is a 1.8" iPod style disk :) [13:06] benchmarks at 1/5th the speed of your usual SATA drive [13:06] heh [13:06] hi - im trying to install some packages, but it keeps asking for the cd. I dont have physical access to the machine - how can I force a download? === tyczek_ is now known as Tyczek [13:06] Gee that may be the issue. :) since the file manager wants to read all the files to get thumbnails and other info. [13:06] but, XFE is fast. [13:06] thrope: edit out the cd repo in /etc/apt/sources.list [13:06] thrope: remove the cd line from sources.list [13:06] thanks [13:06] You could disable all previews and stuff.. or heck try 'mc' in a terminal. thats about as fast a file manager as you can get. [13:07] can screen be used as a file manager? ;] [13:08] screen and mc - I recall some issues doing that however... [13:08] DR_willis: prefer to stay X11 :) [13:08] the "places" tab in nautilus has a list of all my hard drives, among other things.. what determines how these items are sorted? can I change the order somehow? [13:09] nautilus uses 70-100% of CPU for 15 seconds to launch, then takes 2 seconds to draw a simple window... [13:09] even in EDE [13:09] what gui do you guys develop c or c++ with? [13:09] although, it just drew a DESKTOP window! [13:09] why the hell did it do that? I just want a file manager. [13:09] !code | thuskins [13:09] thuskins: Programming editors/suites: Terminal-based: vi/vim, emacs - KDE: Kate, KDevelop, Quanta+, Umbrello - GNOME: gvim, gedit, anjuta, eclipse, pida [13:10] Epicenter, you need to launch the gnome file manager with some options - or it will also take over the desktop [13:10] nautilus handles the desktop and other stuff too.. if you just want a file manager... try mc.. terminal based. .fast [13:10] hi guys, any idea why I would have 3x gnome-vfs-daemon's running ??? [13:10] i've been using gedit... and it's waaaay bad at navigation... anyone recommend anything? [13:10] other 2 pane file managers, gentoo, filerunner, perhaps oothers... :) [13:10] thus: try leafpad, nice little editor [13:10] thuskins: SCI Edit is another editor.. a little better [13:11] thuskins: sorry.. Scite text editor is the name [13:11] i mean, specifically for programming and code navigation [13:11] ohhh... soz dude [13:11] slart: I need it to be X11, sorry [13:11] np [13:11] Epicenter: then thunar would be my suggestion [13:11] Is there a FAST one for x11 besides xfe? [13:11] I'll try it [13:11] Epicenter, gentoo, filerunner, others. search the package manager for 'file manager' [13:12] * Dr_Willis tests out xfe. and decides to use mc instead. [13:12] can anyone guess why I would have 3 instances of gnome-vfs-daemon running at one time ??? [13:12] gnome-commander - nice and fast file manager for the GNOME desktop [13:12] [13:12] Da_Putzler: you've mounted 3 filesystems that need that daemon? do I get a cookie now? [13:13] ?? I only have my ext3 filesystem with ubutntu installed and 1 /home partition... [13:13] but u can have a cookie anyhoo [13:13] Da_Putzler: I only have one.. [13:13] Hi all What does "Get latest wine git tree (or cvs)." mean and where do I get it [13:13] just 1 running here also. [13:13] I never had 3 before, it's just after the latest linux image updates that this is happening [13:14] !cvs [13:14] and I dunno how to get rid of two [13:14] cvs is the Concurrent Versions System, the dominant open-source network-transparent version control system; it helps to manage releases and to control concurrent editing of source files among multiple authors. See: https://www.cvshome.org/ [13:14] Filled-Void, git and cvs are ways of compliling from source, staying up to date wht a project as it changes , leting you easially make new builds. [13:15] Dr_Willis, So I need to download the source for Wine? Im pretty new to Ubuntu unfortunately :x [13:15] Hello [13:15] Filled-Void, i would suggest you stick with the debian packages then. and not mess with source [13:15] !wine [13:15] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. [13:15] hello everyone, I was wondering, does anyone use LaTeX here? [13:15] Filled-Void: you can download the entire source every time they release a new version.. or you could just download the stuff that has changed. .git lets you do that.. update a source tree in an efficient way [13:15] theres some repo for wine that has the newer versions.. i just dontknow the url for it. [13:16] got XFE to run. There's a .deb on the author's site that works perfectly once libfox-1.6-0 is installed. I can't imagine why it's not in feisty :) [13:16] http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb [13:16] It is crazy fast :D [13:16] I have a server I admin remotely that I use for torrents and stuff, question when I load my torrent software up rtorrents it good and well but then when I close my ssh session from my end and go back into the server I can't seem to get that same rtorrent window back which out killing the process and starting it. [13:17] Slart, Dr_Willis, Thanks . yes I know that Wine would do that . but Im gussing im not to supposed to install Wine from its repos if thats the cae where do I get the source and then apply Git if that i the process. [13:17] Dr_Willis, Thank you Ill check that link [13:17] Is there a way to back ground it and when I log on bringing it back to the forgrond [13:17] docmur: use screen. [13:17] !screen | docmur [13:17] docmur: screen is a terminal multiplexer. See http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2004/3/9/16838/14935 and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Screen [13:17] Filled-Void: don't mess with git if you don't have to .. go to www.winehq.org click the download link and follow the instrucions [13:17] using cvs/git will require you to do a bit of work.. not syre what you would gain by it either. [13:17] does anyone know off-hand where I can find the script/text that runs the gnome-vfs-daemon's ? [13:17] where in ubuntu i can found hibernate.conf [13:17] ? [13:17] loa: run "locate hibernate.conf" [13:18] loa, try 'locate hibernate.conf' [13:18] already) [13:18] * Slart has oiled his fingers today =) [13:18] * maximilion bids good afternoon [13:18] there no such file [13:18] loa: then you don't have one [13:18] loa: try running updatedb first [13:18] i dont have one either. :) [13:18] no hibernate.conf here [13:18] !find hibernate.conf [13:18] Dr_Willis, Slart I wanted tot ry it cause of this http://www.linux-gamers.net/modules/wiwimod/index.php?page=HOWTO+COD4&back=HOWTO+INDEX+Wine+Games [13:19] Is there a channel for people that design graphics on Linux/Ubuntu? [13:19] File hibernate.conf found in hibernate [13:19] Does anyone recommend a particular front end for LaTeX that I should use? In windows and MikTeX I used to use TeXnicCenter... and was wondering if there were anything similar [13:19] i found /etc/default/acpi-support, but there are no option to unload all modules( [13:19] Filled-Void: if you look at the wine site you can get the latest version as a deb... it will only be max two weeks old [13:19] Filled-Void, its likely that the wine repos - have a new enough version to run that game.. [13:19] Filled-Void: when they release a new version you'll have to wait.. oh.. say about 2 days for the debs to appear [13:20] Ahhha thanks Dr_Willis and slart that makes my task much much easier :D [13:20] Mushrooms: For Ubuntu or on Ubuntu? Theres #ubuntu-artwork for creating art for Ubuntu, or you could try #ubuntustudio for creating art on Ubuntu. [13:20] Mushrooms are you looking for something that's like a wysiwyg GUI for LaTeX? [13:20] does the new exploit apply to the current ubuntu kernel? [13:20] is anyone actually using Hardy as their base system ? [13:20] emma: yes, i'm looking for an editor, like a front end [13:20] Lost connection to Evolution Exchange backend process < anyone know what this message is about , kind of work critical that i get it working again [13:20] Mushrooms -- sudo apt-get install lyx [13:20] Da_Putzler: Yes, more questions/discussion in #ubuntu+1 please :) [13:21] Pici: on Ubuntu [13:21] Mushrooms: lyx [13:21] Mushrooms: er, mistype, sorry. [13:21] repeating question: does anyone know how to create a keyboard? Possibly with a graphich client, if not... what files must be copied and modified :) Sorry, I really need this :) [13:21] maximilion: For Ubuntu or on Ubuntu? Theres #ubuntu-artwork for creating art for Ubuntu, or you could try #ubuntustudio for creating art on Ubuntu. [13:21] hi... i compiled latest pidgin... no errors with compiling (from repo was deleted), but when i run it says: pidgin: symbol lookup error: pidgin: undefined symbol: purple_account_get_current_error [13:21] Mushrooms: although the current version of lyx has some problems when it comes to importing figures.. you'll have to update ghostscript if you need that [13:21] emma Slart: i tried using Lyx before, but i'm really looking for something like a advanced text editor [13:21] Is ther ea terminal command to see the owner of a file? [13:21] Pici: Lovely, #ubuntustudio it is :) [13:21] Mushrooms: vim [13:21] !latex [13:21] tex is a language for describing a document, commonly used especially for scientific publishing. Information and instructions for installing TeX and other related packages can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LaTeX [13:22] Mushrooms: check that url.. there are a few [13:22] Slart: like winedt or texcenter [13:22] ok [13:22] thanks [13:22] I thought Lyx was pretty advanced. [13:22] lyx is advanced enough to make me bug eyed sometimes =) [13:22] i need evolution guru [13:22] :-\ [13:23] Mushrooms - there's also texmacs [13:23] emma:lyx works at a slighly higher level imho... like it hides all of the preamble [13:23] I like BigMacs [13:23] :) [13:23] slack_baphomet, http://www.latrobe.edu.au/podiatry/Images/1%20Biomech%20pics/EVOLUTIONpics/evolution.GIF [13:23] !tetex [13:23] Sorry, I don't know anything about tetex - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [13:23] says it all === latansa6 is now known as co_bdg_gi_jojo [13:23] tijn: Please stay ontopic. [13:23] so you dont want a wysiwyg you want something to edit LaTeX code. [13:24] emma: yep [13:24] Texmacs might be what you want. [13:24] It works slow for me, and feels bloated but I think it might do that. [13:24] tijn: thats not helping me any tbh [13:24] :( [13:24] Apart from BUM (Bootup Manager) what other programs can I look at to disable services and daemons... I seem to have multiple's running for some reason [13:24] or just plain emacs.. or vi [13:24] Flynsarmy ls -l [13:24] both handle latex syntax afaik [13:25] Da_Putzler, check the package maanger for 'sysv' tools. theres a few in there. [13:25] thx [13:25] Slart: if i used emacs or vi, i'll probably get a hernia trying to compile the file.... cos in windows, texcenter did it all with a magic compile button.. which vi doesn't have [13:25] gedit probably does too [13:25] and maybe amyedit [13:26] it says here i should try kile [13:26] !amyedit [13:26] Sorry, I don't know anything about amyedit - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [13:26] jaj [13:26] !kile [13:26] Sorry, I don't know anything about kile - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [13:26] hi i was wondering how i raise the base volume on ubuntu as my windows partition is louder [13:26] Mushrooms: hehe.. no buttons.. but I think someone can give you a cryptic string to type in =) [13:26] !msgthebot [13:26] Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (type also /msg ubotu Bot). Don't use commands in the public channels if you don't know if they really exist. Also avoid adding joke/useless factoids. [13:26] Mushrooms, look into this -- http://amyedit.sourceforge.net/ [13:26] Slart: yeah my supervisor compiles her documents in dos.... i don't know how she does it, the string is like half a page long [13:26] 你们好 [13:27] anybody have any ideas [13:27] how can i do that? uid begin with 10000 +1 when i make a new user [13:27] 你们知道哪儿有unix系统？ [13:27] yusuo, did you try alsamixer? [13:27] ????

[13:30] weiboyou8: I understand you but you have to speak english here [13:30] Da_Putzler: Personal preference. [13:30] Da_Putzler: because I prefer gnome over kde [13:30] how do you find a specific file on your computer from terminal? [13:31] emma: locate, find, whereis depending on what type of file [13:31] emma: find /path/ -name "something.ext" [13:31] what if you don't know the path? [13:31] emma: use / [13:31] 什麼 [13:31] english please river_ [13:31] oké, no problem :d [13:32] emma you could use the 'find' command, and grep the output for the file you want. suppose the file you want is called 'foobar', and you're looking for it from root (/), you would do something like - find | grep -i foobar [13:32] emma grep -i is for case insensitive search. [13:32] and it will be finished sometime next week.. =) [13:32] How do I schedule a process to terminate at a certain time? [13:32] L3ttuc3: er, thats an odd way of using find. [13:32] sorry!!my eglish is bad! [13:32] weiboyou8: no worries take your time ;] [13:32] Pici or that :P, never knew the exact parameters for find. guess i'll have to look it up. [13:32] is bad! [13:32] L3ttuc3: find / -iname "*foobar*" [13:32] actually.. I use find in the same way.. just to get a list to filter using grep.. hard to stop that habit =) [13:33] wow it says it doesn't exist [13:33] Pici im starting to like your solution already. [13:33] how you do that, uid begin with 1000 and +1 when i add user [13:33] L3ttuc3: I used to do it the way you said until someone told me I was doing it wrong too ;) [13:33] I installed realplayer 10, I was expecting it to install itself as a plugin in Firefox but it never did. [13:33] THANKS! [13:33] Helvasca: you could schedule a kill command... [13:34] Pici makes sense. :) [13:34] emma: I think it's a stand alone player.. I've got it installed too.. [13:34] weiboyou8: this channel is more for support of ubuntu linux; the unix you want may have another channel though I am not sure ;] [13:34] Slart: I have't had alot to do with scheduleing how would I do it? [13:34] Which good system do you use? [13:35] Helvasca: use crontab.. man crontab for info and examples [13:35] #ubuntu of course weiboyou8 ;] [13:35] on the other hand, slightly off-topic maybe, if i'm buying a Mac USB keyboard, and hooking it up to my laptop (not a Mac) running ubuntu 7.10, would i need to go out of my way to make it work, change charsets, keymaps etc? keyboard is damn sexy, but i don't want to shell out good money on another brick or doorstop. :P [13:35] !crontab [13:35] cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto - There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm [13:35] L3ttuc3: should work [13:35] there are some more links, Helvasca [13:35] anyone here uses k3b [13:35] Slart: thanks [13:35] Helvasca: if its a one time thing you may want to look at the 'at' command too. [13:35] yes DiceyDaysx [13:35] I have only 3 options in K3b. Auto, Ignore, and 2x. Is this normal, and what is the slowest speed? [13:36] slart in Edgy installing real player would install the firefox plugin [13:36] Pici: I just want it to terminate my torrent program at 7 am [13:36] bazhang ok, that's for the USB part, but the keys are a little different, no windows keys for example (i can reconfigure most of my compiz hotkeys no problems...) but will i have other issues to bear in mind? [13:36] Now I'm not sure how to install the realplayer (helix) firefox plugin [13:36] hi [13:36] Anyone know which program to use to create animated cursors? [13:36] i want to install mysql server to my desktop kubuntu [13:36] emma: oh..it was a long time ago.. I might have reinstalled firefox since then [13:36] but it want's to install also exim [13:36] !realplayer [13:36] but i don't need mail server [13:36] hi folks, is there a limit to how many tcp sockets can be opened on ubuntu?

[13:37] prince: Yes, we finally got some sun here :) [13:38] bazhang that's my issue, you installed from scratch with that keyboard already in place, so you would already have set it up at install time, im wondering if im going to have to pick my brains to get it to work properly... [13:38] Slart: yups. that's the "hardlimit". was wondering if ubuntu/kernel 2.6 does any soft/default limit. === ScT-808y is now known as b08y [13:38] emma: hey.. I had the helix plugin installed.. just checked [13:38] L3ttuc3: doubtful as apple just uses standard stuff these days and slaps a shiny label on it [13:39] hi [13:39] emma: don't really know how I did it though [13:39] fulat2k: I doubt it.. tried googling for it? [13:39] bazhang that keyboard is more than just shiny! i'll look for a picture and post it, if you all don't mind, just to showh you. it's real real slim. [13:39] Slart: yups :( [13:40] L3ttuc3: best post it in offtopic ;] [13:40] i want to upgrade from dapper (server edition) to at least feisty -- how do i do this? [13:40] how to play file.rmvb?

[14:01] neopsyche: look on the CD. what files do you see? [14:01] neopsyche: you burned the iso as an image, right? not just as a file on the cd? [14:01] Slart, using the ip returns "session request failed". using the double slashes returns "Error NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME" [14:01] neopsyche: First of all, have you checked if any other bootable cd works?

[14:16] are there any data recovery programs for memory card? a good and small-sized one [14:16] gobtw the wheel counts as 3 - up, down, in [14:16] goodhabit, ^ [14:16] I don't think the kernel has the module for my ethernet card [14:17] bazhang: 4.7 [14:17] Where in initrd.img is the list of modules to add at bootup? [14:17] neopsyche: you set it at 4.7x? perhaps try 2x [14:17] leeping: you don't need it in the initrd unless your netbooting [14:17] And, if my netboot fails and I drop to initramfs, how do I check the boot log? [14:17] yes, I am netbooting :) [14:18] leeping: what network card is it ? [14:18] dmesg doesn't work in initramfs [14:18] Attansic L1 [14:18] It's supposed to be in the newer kernels [14:18] let me see if I can find anything on that card [14:18] Thanks :) [14:18] leeping: what is a "newer" kernel [14:18] After 2.6.21 I believe [14:18] since July 2007 [14:18] leeping: well, gutsy is on .22 I think currently [14:18] eeepc? [14:19] Does that necessarily mean that initrd.gz for the gutsy live CD contains the module? [14:19] leeping: yup, .21 you're correct, so if your booting from a source with a .22 kernel you should be fine [14:19] I would assume so, as well [14:19] hello everyone [14:19] but I'm getting strange errors [14:19] leeping: no the livecd is older, but using hte livecd is not netbooting [14:19] I'm netbooting the live CD [14:19] I mean, I'm serving the live CD via NFS [14:19] and I put the kernel in /var/lib/tftpboot [14:19] leeping: ughhhh what a pain thats going to be [14:20] I have Ubuntu 7.10 installed, but I cannto even create a folder on my desktop. ANybody can help? Thank you! [14:20] The computers that I'm trying to boot do not have disk drives [14:20] leeping: you'll have to make a custom install cd [14:20] leeping: or at least a new initrd [14:21] what computer leeping [14:21] Right, that means adding the correct kernel module in the initrd.gz.. [14:21] I built it from parts [14:21] However I imagine I also have to add the name of the module to a list in order for it to be loaded [14:22] bazhang: i downloaded the iso from here: http://modzer0.cs.uaf.edu/~hardwarehank/fluxbuntu/7.10/rc/ Is this the bootable version? [14:22] heya folks, anyone have any problem printing to remote samba printers? All of a sudden I can't can't connect to remote printers.... [14:22] leeping: not really due to the magic of udev [14:22] bazhang: it doesnt give an option for 2x [14:22] neopsyche: not sure about fluxbuntu; they have a channel as well you know ;] [14:23] erawfish: Does that mean I only need to put the module in the correct directory? [14:23] thanks [14:23] bazhang: thanks [14:23] bonjour [14:23] One more problem - if I compile the kernel module, I'll be compiling with a newer kernel, I think [14:23] leeping: you need to do more [14:23] because you just mentioned the live CD uses an older kernel [14:23] erawfish: What do I need to do?

I have no permission to write on that folder [14:26] brid55: and have you checked the permissions ? [14:26] how exactly? [14:26] I have had a look at the fstab, but it seems ok [14:26] I'm a bit of a newbee [14:27] brid55: fstab is not file system permissons. Right click properties on the desktop directory in your home dir [14:27] There's a command called mkinitrd, but I don't think I can use it to generate a live CD initrd [14:27] because I think the live CD initrd contains scripts that are specific to the live CD .. am I correct? [14:27] !netboot install [14:27] Sorry, I don't know anything about netboot install - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [14:27] !install [14:27] Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways.

[14:28] ikonia, i can't believe it was so simple I dind't even think about that, how can it got changed, I never touched it [14:28] it worked! [14:28] brid55: well done [14:29] but I hadn't changed the permissions [14:29] how could it happened??!! [14:29] can anybody help me with my wireless card? [14:29] brid55: no idea [14:29] its magic [14:29] ok mate, many thanks indeed, till next time thanks a lot bye [14:29] I guess nobody here really knows how to add a network driver to the initrd.gz on the live CD [14:30] what if I bluffed and said I was going to use Windows instead? =D [14:30] Why is that whenever i upgrade i have to reinstall the nvidia drivers its so annoying i didn't have to do that on fedora [14:30] LjL: deleted photos from the cameras memory [14:30] Is there a way to make nx use the current session like VNC? VNC is very slow and it's hard to use but to work I need to use the current session my remote computer has. NX starts its own session, making my work-in-progress unreachable. [14:30] (sony memory stick) [14:30] leeping: You would find the ops can kick and ban... [14:30] Slart: wow... that didn't take long. by default, ubuntu only allowed 1019 ports to be opened. tested via java's ServerSocket class. [14:30] leeping: you compile a custom kernel [14:30] mohbana, you shouldn't need to if you are using the nvidia drivers from the repos, if you done a manual install or used envy/automatix, that what causes the problem [14:31] fulat2k: makes no sense [14:31] leeping: Seriously though, have you looked at things like reconstructor, [14:31] dgjones, where are the drivers on the repo? [14:31] Neeku: well if it's a FAT file system, which it probably is, i suspect you're better off with Windows "undelete" programs [14:31] erawfish: i started opening port 2000 and it stopped at port 3019. after that Too Many Open Files [14:31] leeping: You could also create a persistent home on a usb.... [14:31] I'll look at it. I imagine it's better than manually rebuilding, seeing that the live CD kernel has many scripts / modules and the like [14:32] hello, each time i install nvidiadrivers, my keyboard becomes qwerty, does anyone know how i can fix this (probably in xorg.conf ? ) [14:32] !nvidia | mohbana, (The first instructions on here tell you the best way of installing) [14:32] mohbana, (The first instructions on here tell you the best way of installing): To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto === Djoef|gone is now known as Djoefer [14:32] Thanks [14:32] <_Diego__> hello, my ubuntu has been buggy the last couple weeks, do u recommend to reinstall it? [14:32] ader10: I haven't used nx, but presuming it is like any X server, I'm not sure you can do what you want, though take a look at xmove in the repositories [14:32] _Diego__: Define "buggy" :) [14:32] yEahh, I can make a bootable USB, but it isn't as convenientu [14:33] leeping: Realistically, remastering the live cd is ot in here [14:33] fulat2k: wow.. that's far from 40k.. it isn't some kind of java-limit then? [14:33] leeping: I didnt say bootable usb, I said persistent home on usb. [14:33] Jack_Sparrow: Got it .. I thought they were on the same thing, I'll look it up [14:33] broadcom wireless cards suck with ubuntu [14:34] about those nvidia drivers, how could i fix my keyboard back to azerty, and this from the moment i get my login screen [14:34] ciao [14:34] <_Diego__> MattJ: no updates, firefox crashing, programs crashing, and some minor flaws i really cant explain [14:34] dgjones, i have a 8800gts it doesn't show up on restricted driver manager [14:34] leeping: Let me get you a link.. [14:34] _Diego__: What version of Ubuntu? [14:34] Jack_Sparrow: I'll also look up how to remaster the live CD. I think I'll have to compile a new kernel somehow anyway - seeing that these computers have relatively new network hardware === co_bdg121212 is now known as co_bdg_pengen [14:35] hi [14:35] Jack_Sparrow: Thanks [14:35] mohbana, right, thats probably why then, when the kernel is updated, nvidia also has to be updated, if you'd been able to use the restricted manager that would do it automatically [14:36] <_Diego__> MattJ: gutsy [14:36] leeping: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=9893 [14:36] Can someone help me with FreeTDS? [14:36] Jack_Sparrow, thanks :) [14:36] I'll look there [14:36] _Diego__: Well Ubuntu isn't Windows, a reinstall isn't usually the easiest solution [14:36] leeping: On livecd boot F6 then type persistent all changes you make go to the usb key [14:37] _Diego__: Let's look at things one at a time, what do you mean "no upgrades"? [14:37] Jack_Sparrow, forgive me but I'm actually not sure how this helps me add a kernel module for the network hardware to my network boot === bOtZoNe is now known as homerjounior [14:38] leeping: Have you looked at any of the documents that ubotu posted in its !install factoid? [14:38] dgjones, so there is no work around? [14:38] mohbana, not that i know of [14:38] <_Diego__> MattJ: It doesnt ask me for system updates since the first time i install it, e.g. my firefox still is 2.0.0.6. While on feisty i have updates at least once a week [14:39] Not yet. I'll look at it [14:39] <_Diego__> had [14:39] leeping: I was just showing you options like reconstructor. You probably wont need to recompile a kernel for you network card. [14:39] I've googled around for a long time but haven't checked the factoids on the bot [14:39] http://zomga.se how about that? [14:39] Jack_Sparrow, I think that reconstructor might be more helpful to me :) I'll install it and see what happens [14:40] _Diego__: Ok... open Terminal, and run: sudo apt-get update === co_bdg_pengen is now known as co_bdg_gi_pengen [14:40] Do you get any errors? [14:41] <_Diego__> MattJ: no [14:41] _Diego__: So it downloads the list of files fine? === Clinteger is now known as tez [14:41] _Diego__: Now: sudo apt-get upgrade [14:42] ahh wonderful the ubuntu kernel source package doesn't actually build without errors :( [14:42] can someone please enlighten me to a permanent way to change gutsy' timezone (only on cmd-line) [14:42] can anybody help me with my wireless card? [14:42] <_Diego__> MattJ: ok [14:42] googling says use "tzconfig" but there is no such cmd installed on my server [14:42] Jack_Sparrow, I'll look up reconstructor .. thanks again === Djoefer is now known as Djoef [14:42] <_Diego__> MattJ: it says 0 for everything [14:43] np [14:43] salut [14:43] Slart: 1024 is default. edit /etc/security/limits.conf to change the limit [14:43] je comprend pas [14:43] Hi, I got a quick question : I managed to clear my sources.list file and I want to restore it, how can do that?

[14:52] like a virtual cam in windows [14:52] MattJ, hmm... it doesn't want to work (kernel 2.6.24) [14:53] hmm.. so for root and the default created user it shows name@comp:location$ but for the account I created myself it only shows $ -- how can i change this? [14:53] Jack_Sparrow>i followed the instructions off the nvidia site but says "sh: Can't open NVIDIA-Linux-x86-169.09-pkg1.run" ? === Martinp24 is now known as Martinp23 [14:53] i think one think like mencoder in a virtual dev, but i don't know to use it [14:53] also, this user doesn't let me go up to previous commands, i can delete the $, etc. [14:53] i need to setup a basic firewall on my gutsy system that opens ssh and http ports, that's it... any suggestions on the most maintained way to do that? (ie any utilities or do i have to do straight up iptables?) [14:54] !firewall | rocky [14:54] rocky: 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). [14:54] <_Diego__> MattJ: lol, there are tons of updates, ty [14:54] strator: Which nvidia card [14:54] Jack_Sparrow: I have reconstructor running, and it allows me to add modules with the extension .rmod [14:54] geforce 6600 [14:54] Please have any idea how to set video output fro web camera? like a virtual cam in windows?

[14:55] Anybody got any hints on how i can stop my ant from complaining about "No supported regular expression matcher found"? I don't know how I would set/change the path if this is actually installed on my system. [14:55] _Diego__: No problem, hopefully they'll fix some of your problems :) [14:55] Almost :) The module for the network card driver has a different extension and I'm trying to find how reconstructor can incorporate it [14:55] strator: You dont need the drivers from nvidia for that card. works great with ubuntu restricted drivers [14:56] Jack_Sparrow>but video is slow and the 3D games run at 2fps [14:56] hi [14:56] <_Diego__> MattJ: i hope. damn 400 megs of updates i should hurry, bye [14:56] sup [14:57] strator: what card do you have? and have you installed the restricted drivers?

I can logon to Live.com and meebo and it works fine, but pidgin fails. Any ideas? [14:58] strator: google ftw? [14:58] erawfish: googling too many open files points me to limits.conf [14:58] yrd [14:58] har [14:59] strator: I have the same 6600 card and videos are fine and sauerbratten fps works fine [14:59] kjs> thats where i found nvidia's driver but the command they give doesn't work [14:59] ya that game.. 2fps.. do i have to install the restricted driver or does it do it automatically? [15:00] So..um..how do I compile xchat2 in ubuntu? [15:00] strator: system admin restricted drivers enable [15:00] Kuwanger: use the precompiled version [15:00] in terminal? [15:00] strator: Pull down menus [15:01] Kuwanger: why do you wanna compile it when you can apt-get it ? [15:01] hi, how do I get my io-slave working again? how and how high do I set the quota for it? [15:01] i don't have that option [15:01] for root and the default created user it shows name@comp:location$ but for the account I created myself it only shows $, i can't use the up arrow to go to previous commands, I can delete everything in the terminal, etc. -- how can i change this? [15:01] strator: Which ubuntu are you using === tyczek_ is now known as Tyczek [15:01] rsk: For whatever stupid reason, xchat2 has a feature to disable auto-reconnect, but it doesn't actually follow it on a ping timeout. [15:01] how can i edit or remove a section of a music? [15:02] jacob: with audacity for example [15:02] ok Kuwanger install build-essential and get the xchat2 source [15:02] some version i found on a pcformat but it looks like ubuntu 6.10 [15:02] rsk: I already have build essential. [15:02] strator: well google ubuntu restricted drivers. [15:03] Kuwanger I still don't understand why you want to compile it yourself [15:03] I need a recommendation or link on how to add applications, patch a ubuntu server that is in a dmz that I have ssh access to. [15:03] its called gamers editon or something [15:03] strator: Oldie but a goodie [15:03] ikonia: Um, what do you not understand exactly? [15:03] i was gonna update but 2 gigs later i reclined :P [15:03] Kuwanger: why you want to compile this package yourself [15:04] ikonia: To fix a bug. [15:04] Kwitschibo: submit it to ubuntu via launchpad and let them update the package [15:04] strator: I will trigger the bot for the howto on that release, but I would suggest you get a copy of the current release- gutsy [15:04] Kuwanger: submit it to ubuntu via launchpad and let them update the package [15:04] !nvidia | strator [15:04] strator: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [15:04] as soon as i can find it i will === ubuntu_ is now known as abcd === abcd is now known as abcd- [15:05] !download | strator [15:05] strator: Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://nl.releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Archive - PLEASE use the !torrents to download Gutsy, and help keeping the servers' load low! [15:05] ikonia: So, instead of fixing a problem myself, I should report it to a vague community and pray that in a few months, I might get some sort of resolution? [15:05] is there a way to upgrade from 5.10 to the latest version without downloading the iso cd ? [15:05] yes [15:05] thanks [15:05] Kuwanger: yes, as it's clear your struggling to fix it yourself [15:05] Kuwanger: follow up the with the package maintainer and start a dialog to get it pushed out to the community [15:06] <_Oz_> I have two computers on a home network both running ubuntu, both could once "see" each other and now only one does although I changed nothing [15:06] <_Oz_> is this a normal occurence? [15:06] hello [15:06] <_Oz_> (good morning, all!) [15:06] Hi all, does anyone know if there's a plugin for eclipse to compile mingw32 projects? Or another IDE for it [15:06] abcd- you should follow the prescribed update path, or install from scratch [15:06] Anybody got any hints on how i can stop my ant from complaining about "No supported regular expression matcher found"? I don't know how I would set/change the path if this is actually installed on my system. [15:06] kippy: where can i find it prescribed? [15:06] anybody can help me ? [15:06] ikonia: Yes, I'm "struggling" to fix it myself because it's very unclear why the program is failing to compile. [15:07] that means that first upgrade to the next version, than to the next to next version and so on [15:07] strator: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia way down the page....for your release [15:07] Kuwanger: ok, so go through the support process and get this pushed out to the community so others don't suffer. [15:07] abcd-: i wud suggest that if u can than u shud download the 7.10 and install it after perforing the backup [15:08] i kvo ? [15:08] ikonia: The support process being...reading 100 posts to see if I'm making a duplicate request, make the request, then wait for someone to get around to telling me "it's not a bug"? [15:08] kippy: please speak in clear english rather than text chat. It's easy to follow and be understood then [15:09] Kuwanger: if you can't be bothered to follow the support process, why should people in hear bother to help you === ionutz is now known as Ionutz` [15:09] Kuwanger: it's a worth while event submitting a fix request (more so if you have the fix) then open a dialog with the package maintainers. [15:09] kippy, can i download some update in a non-iso format? (i dont have a cdburner) [15:09] thanks i'm on it now [15:09] ikonia: Fine. Let's assume I *do* follow the support process. Does that mean I should never program under Ubuntu? [15:09] Kuwanger: not at all, [15:10] ikonia: Well, that's what you're telling me. [15:10] Kuwanger: no it's not [15:10] Hello [15:10] strator: Seriously, look at gutsy, it and that 6600 are golden. all the cool compiz effects etc.. when you have time, chack out youtube and search for ubuntu compiz [15:10] abcd-: okay so this is the real problem.. fairly easy though.. try http://shipit.ubuntu.com they will mail u ubuntu cds free of cost in about 2 3 weeks [15:10] ikonia: Really? I'm asking for help on compiling xchat2 because Ubuntu/Debian has a system I don't understand when it comes to installing -dev packages (or whatever). And, if I understood that, I could, you know, file a support request *with a patch*. [15:11] jfgi [15:11] kippy: yeah but im looking for a fast solution :/ [15:11] ikonia: But, no, I should just defer to the community? [15:11] Kuwanger: what part of the building process do you not understand [15:11] Xsploit: not helpful [15:11] ikonia: Well, previously, the build was failing out with a weird error. [15:11] !ot [15:11] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [15:12] Kuwanger: so how was it failing ? [15:12] ikonia: Well, now it's failing in a different way, so I might as well mention it. Now, it's telling me "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lperl" [15:12] Kuwanger: ok - thats quite straight forward and nothing "ubuntu specific" [15:12] ikonia: So, I presume, I need to apt-get install perl-dev or something. [15:13] <^toro^> ciao [15:13] <^toro^> !list [15:13] 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 [15:13] how can i find the linux version from commandline? [15:13] abcd-: lsb_release -a [15:13] <^toro^> !list [15:13] ^toro^: you've done that - please stop [15:13] !botabuse > ^toro^ [15:13] ikonia: Really. So, where do I find libperl? [15:14] Kuwanger: depends which perl library it wants, but there should be a -lib or -dev package for it [15:14] !info libperl [15:14] Package libperl does not exist in gutsy [15:14] ikonia: More generically, how do I find out what package contains libperl? [15:14] Kuwanger: apt-file [15:14] Kuwanger: apt-cache search libperl [15:14] Kuwanger: its libperl-dev that you want probably. [15:14] abcd-: what i meant ewarlier was that you shoul go from breezy->dapper->edgy->feisty->gutsy [15:14] <_Oz_> how do I download and install medibuntu again? [15:15] abcd: because else u will get dependencey problems [15:15] abcd: use apt to upgrade [15:15] Question - Where can I find good software to manage my Ipod like iTunes? [15:15] !upgrade | abcd- [15:15] abcd-: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [15:15] _Oz_: the instructions are on the site on how to add the repos to your sources list [15:15] !itunes | d33d [15:15] d33d: itunes is not available on Linux, but there are many audio player alternatives (see !players). For Daap clients (sharing music with other iTunes clients on the network), install banshee [15:15] Pici: Okay, that doesn't sound like it's a solution. [15:15] Kuwanger: why is that not a solution ? [15:15] Kuwanger: Why not? [15:16] hey.. I am trying to get the netflix viewer working in firefox. [15:16] any suggestions.. works great in windows : [15:16] <_Oz_> which site? [15:16] :/* [15:16] Kuwanger: if your not confident building it, submit it as a bug to the package maintainer, with your ideas for the fix, then contact him and work with him to put a fix through [15:16] i'd just like to update today (but i dont have a cdburner to make an .iso and i dont have weeks to wait for the cd to ship) :/ [15:16] Kuwanger: it really benfits others then [15:16] thanks so much for your help, if i'm not back it means it broke again :P [15:16] _Oz_: the medibuntu site ;] [15:16] Pici: Summarizing the man page, apt-cache search does a search on the package list (ie, names, descriptions, etc). It doesn't do a search on package contents. [15:17] abcd: using apt u wont need the burner.. but just follow the path i wrote above [15:17] Kuwanger: I was just saying that libperl is a valid package search as the package name is libperl-dev [15:17] !info libperl-dev [15:17] libperl-dev (source: perl): Perl library: development files. In component main, is optional. Version 5.8.8-7ubuntu3.1 (gutsy), package size 562 kB, installed size 1416 kB [15:17] <_Oz_> doh [15:17] <_Oz_> there it is bazhang [15:17] <_Oz_> didn't realize there was a site for it [15:17] <_Oz_> thanks [15:17] hehe np [15:17] <_Oz_> I hate being such a n00b [15:17] ok thanks, kippy! [15:17] _Oz_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [15:17] Pici: Except that I asked "More generically, how do I find out what package contains libperl?" [15:17] Kuwanger: apt-file [15:18] Pici: Ie, I was asking for a way to be able to always find a requested file, assuming some package provides it. [15:18] Kuwanger: you asked and were answered [15:18] Kuwanger: Sorry, I gave you the answer, but not the correct method. [15:18] kippy, so i just do apt-update ? [15:18] i did some partition changes here and now i get the grub prompt instead of the menu. how can i fix that? [15:18] * Kuwanger is installing apt-file now, and hopefully it is the answer. [15:18] abcd-, no sudo apt-get update [15:18] MrPiracy: re-install grub [15:18] ok thanks [15:18] !grub > MrPiracy [15:19] !grub [15:19] grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager.

[15:21] _Oz_: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [15:21] wtf? [15:21] Hmm..well, this will take a while to download, it seems. [15:21] _Oz_: no, sudo apt-get update [15:22] hallo [15:22] <_Oz_> done [15:22] <_Oz_> now what [15:22] pelase help my [15:22] _Oz_: can you PLEASE stop using enter as a full stop [15:23] _Oz_: install the packages you want ;] [15:23] _Oz_: now theyre available for install/search. Open up synaptic, and take a loo [15:23] kurumin_, ask your question. [15:23] <_Oz_> ikonia: I will try -- it is an old habit. sorry.

[15:23] <_Oz_> which packages should I look for in synaptic? [15:23] _Oz_: what ever ones you want to install [15:23] portuguese kurumin_? [15:24] portuguese [15:24] _Oz_: Whatever you're looking to install. the medibuntu ones will be in there. [15:24] heh [15:24] !br | kurumin_ [15:24] kurumin_: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [15:24] ikonia: how can it be? i just ran a terminal and typed cd /boot/grub and all the files were there [15:24] <_Oz_> ok. [15:24] <_Oz_> I see why automatix was created, I gues. [15:24] <_Oz_> for the slightly stupider user like me. [15:24] MrPiracy: how are you booting the system if you where just getting a grub prompt [15:24] ls [15:24] <_Oz_> I just wanted all those nice apps installed like automatix did but I was led to believe medibuntu did that just as well. [15:24] Oops! [15:24] _Oz_: do not use automatix [15:24] sorry, wrong window [15:24] <_Oz_> ikonia: I am not. I was told not to. [15:24] _Oz_, they will be installed when you try to play them. [15:25] ikonia: i typed the script i have on menu.lst and it worked [15:25] <_Oz_> but I did install automatix on an earlier install and it seemed pretty nice. google earth popped up, etc. [15:25] Hi All, SO my question is about seed files and doing an automated install. I have it all working but when it gets to the Software Selection it stops and ask me to select what software and then I hit continue and the install finishes. Any one have an idea on how to make it so that that box does not come up or to have it so that continue is automaticly entered. [15:25] ikonia: root(hd0,9) ... kernel /vmlinuz.... [15:25] MrPiracy: drop the /boot from the find command your doing === zamanfou_ is now known as BiO [15:26] i am using screen out of the box on ubuntu - everythings ok in normal ssh but when I start screen the backsace key doesnt work any more === BaClop is now known as Clop [15:26] ikonia: same thing [15:26] where does screen pick up its terminal settings? [15:26] when I boot into my ubuntu 7.10 the gconf-editor opens automatically. how can I stop it opening automatically? === Clop is now known as _Clop_ [15:26] MrPiracy: your supposed to be doing that in a grub prompt - is that what your doing ? [15:26] MrPiracy-> you have booted already? [15:26] _Oz_: http://www.medibuntu.org/packages.php theres a list of packages medibuntu offers, you can also get that list in synaptic, by viewing by repository [15:27] ikonia: yes, in grub prompt [15:27] _Oz_: also you will want ubuntu-restricted-extras (though I think we had this conversation earlier) ;] [15:27] amenado: yes, i am using ubuntu now [15:27] Jack_Sparrow : Thanks you so much! now i'm getting 170fps :D [15:27] amenado: not from live cd, from the hd itself [15:27] <_Oz_> we did but that was a different install, bazhang [15:27] <_Oz_> sorry for being redundant [15:27] strator: great [15:27] <_Oz_> It is hard for me to remember all this stuff. [15:27] MrPiracy-> how did you get the grub> prompt? you typed which? [15:27] _Oz_: hehe better take notes next time or I wont answer! [15:27] <_Oz_> heheheh [15:28] ikonia: i just tried root(hd0,9) in grub like i did before booting and it says selected disk doesnt exist [15:28] <_Oz_> it'd be nice if there was a document which summed up all the little things most people need to do after installing ubuntu [15:28] bazhang: I can see oz searching through the channel logs trying to find what he missed [15:28] <_Oz_> instead of having to figure them out one by one [15:28] MrPiracy: look at your /boot/grub/device.map [15:28] Jack_Sparrow: haha [15:28] MrPiracy-> sudo mount and it should show all your mountable partitions [15:29] amenado: ok, when i boot into the system, i get the grub prompt instead of the menu in menu.lst, so i just typed what i have in there and it worked [15:29] amenado: in a grub prompt ? [15:29] _Oz_: Good idea, please write one from the entry level users point of view.. [15:29] <_Oz_> maybe I will [15:29] _Oz_: there are several--let me google one up for you ;] [15:29] ikonia nope, he haid he is fully booted..so I figured he can get another term and issue those [15:29] <_Oz_> Calling me "entry level" is probably too generous, though :) [15:29] instal creative sound card x.fi extreme music [15:29] What was the keyboard for ubotu to tell me that purge line, so I can remove all Flash and get the proper 32-bit plugin?

[15:30] i have a sata drive and a ide drive, linux keep changing their order [15:30] amenado something doesn't add up with that is being said [15:30] MrPiracy: you're meant to use uuid to get around that [15:30] amenado: it was "a" when i booted up [15:30] ikonia right, we are getting confused on which state he is at [15:30] !flash [15:30] 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 [15:31] <_Oz_> hey, is there a program which lets me take a "snapshot" of my exact ubuntu install and settings and would allow me to restore to that via a DVD disc image or something like that? and not backup the packages that could be re-downloaded, just get me back to where I was setting wise so that ubuntu could restore itself to that point?

[15:37] diego: this channel is english language only and a support channel for ubuntu only. [15:37] amenado: so i have to type what i have in the label [15:37] MrPiracy-> okay, what do you type in the grub prompt then? [15:37] Jack_Sparrow: Well, Flash doesn't work. I installed Flash-restricted, didn't work. So I installed Gnash. Didn't work. Now I see that I should have installed Restricted-Extras via Synaptic first. Maybe I could just install it and it will work? [15:37] ikonia: after that discussion on xchat2 I went ahead and went through and compiled from xchat source.. didnt get any errors... [15:37] Jack_Sparrow: I'd already done it when he was chatting [15:37] I am trying to help a friend here with Gutsy Gibbon to get his 3945 wifi chipset running.

[15:37] maximilion: uninstall flash plugin non free and then reinstall if you mean the one for firefox [15:37] Jack_Sparrow: worked first time which is why I wanted him to log the bug and get it packaged up properly. [15:37] MrPiracy can you tell the exact command you type within grub prompt? [15:37] what would you suggest to make it stable? I mean, something that will take me minutes to get my system back if it breaks. I'll have this: fake-raid 400Gb, sda1 320G sda2 80Gb. Can I put just the /boot on sda2 and leave everything else on the raid? [15:37] ikonia: are there any docs/steps on installing 3945 on gutsy gibbon?

[15:39] ikonia do you want sex [15:39] screensaver will start and then when i try to log back in it crashes [15:39] bye diego [15:39] hi [15:39] MrPiracy okay, now remember those what you entered in the grub prompt. and once fully booted, modify your menu.lst, and you also must get into grub prompt again to correct grub so you dont have to retype that whole thing at boot [15:40] locsmif: that card is possible the best card you could have in linux period [15:40] hi, i'm having problems with my gnome desktop under ubuntu 7.10. programs like xchat or firefox start within 1-2seconds while gnome-terminal or nautilus require a start-up time up to 10seconds - while they start up in the gnome panel it says for example Starting Terminal but there is no CPU or IO Load.. it seems something is delaying/blocking the startup of the program and as i said it only happens with the gnome programs.. any ideas? [15:40] screensaver locks system up anyone else experiencing this [15:40] what would you suggest to make it stable? I mean, something that will take me minutes to get my system back if it breaks. I'll have this: fake-raid 400Gb, sda1 320G sda2 80Gb. Can I put just the /boot on sda2 and leave everything else on the raid? and if it breaks, can I easily reinstall the /boot on another disk to have my system back? [15:40] screensaver will start and then when i try to log back in it crashes [15:40] bazhang: you mean because of the licensing? [15:40] hi [15:40] ive got ubuntu ultimate, though i believe it isnt important. the thing is - it sets wrong time for my timezone, and when i manually edit it, sudo says "sudo: timestamp too far in the future: Feb 11 17:17:12 2008" [15:40] MrPiracy you are fully booted now..go and modify your menu.lst and if you like you can paste it in pastebin.. [15:40] amenado: i am already at this stage now, i wanna run setup (hd0,9) and it says selected disk does not exist [15:40] bazhang: atheros is not bad either though [15:40] do you know of any good easy to use software for using a ubuntu server as a small webhosting service?

I can't find in my .evolution directory where it is storing what message I was last looking at. How can I get it not start up with that email? [15:41] locsmif: because of the support, especailly in ubuntu--I have that precise card and it is a dream ;] [15:41] MrPiracy okay so you have issued sudo grub and got the grub prompt? [15:41] however it didn't seem to work out of the box [15:41] i must have done something wrong [15:41] ikonia: I'm going to take your advice. I'm going to search through launchpad. Perhaps then I can figure out the cause of all the bugs I've been experiencing. :/ [15:41] amenado: ops, not sudo, just grub [15:41] locsmif: you need to enable the restricted drivers, was this the gutsy live cd? [15:41] MrPiracy you must be root to issue grub [15:42] MrPiracy you must be root to issue grub to change those parameters.. [15:42] Faust-C: whats with ntp-date ? it says command not found. sudo insists on that error. [15:42] bazhang: yep, ok [15:42] locsmif: also be sure the toggle switch on the laptop is switched to on--a mistake I made earlly on haha [15:42] MrPiracy-> you may get the grub prompt but not able to change things if as regular user [15:42] boris_, means your date isnt correct somewhere [15:42] bazhang: heh heh [15:42] Faust-C: so how do i correct it ?

Sounds like a bad keyboard. [15:45] 7777no i pugged out the key7board and it still happens [15:45] MrPiracy nothing wrong with having /boot in a different partition, just make sure it points there in your menu.lst [15:46] amenado: ok, i'll try to boot now and see what happens [15:46] and your device.map points accordingly [15:46] Siegel: bad keyboard ports happen on occassion too.

[16:17] the boot screen doesn't work well in gutsy in my experience [16:17] just wait a couple minutes [16:17] ikonia, do you have any suggestions?

But I need console command. [16:31] simp_lg: grep [16:32] ikonia, Freespace available on my Primary Partition? [16:32] simp_lg: cat | grep [16:32] Learning-Ubuntu: free space availavle where it wants to install [16:32] ikonia, So I could install an application to my Home directory if it had its own partition? [16:32] Learning-Ubuntu: no - the packages have a pre-defined installation path [16:33] ikonia, But If I needed to I could change that? [16:33] Learning-Ubuntu: no === redmonkey_ is now known as redmonkey [16:33] ikonia, plain xchat really is better [16:33] <_ubuxx_> so, can i or cant i enable users view like in xchat original (i use xchat gnome irc) [16:33] ethan961: thats your opinion [16:34] Learning-ubuntu: well, you could get the individual un-compiled packages (source) and compile them yourself and run it in your homespace [16:34] ethan961: as I said, it's personal opinion [16:34] yeah, now [16:34] Learning-Ubuntu here you go: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205337 [16:34] ikonia, :( so let me see if I understand this right. if I have a root partition of 10 GB I can install as much applications as long as the partition doesnt become full? [16:34] roddersg: be realistic [16:34] Learning-Ubuntu: correct [16:34] ikonia - no realistic atm [16:34] ikonia, ty. noodlesgc Ill check that out thanks [16:34] once again, so the newly joining can see it... I seem to be having network problems on Ubuntu... how am I supposed to connect to the internet with my modem? I entered all the needed info, including DNS, but it won't dial. Also, I am not able to access my router over ethernet. >_< [16:34] LU: you could add another hard disk and then point your mount point there [16:35] Ackdar do you have hsfmodem installed? [16:35] roddersg, Hmm but if its all being installed to a predetermined point than would that work? [16:35] noodlesgc, I used the restricted driver that was available on installation of ubuntu [16:36] _ubuxx_, there is a button to press in the bottom right hand corner [16:36] learning-ubuntu 512mo swap , 2/3 of 10 go for root (ext3) , and the 1/3 left of 10Go as /home (ext3) [16:36] you could add a new hard disk, format it then copy your files over e.g. /var, then sudo mount the partition [16:36] Learning-Ubuntu, obviously compiling from source and mounting new partitions are beyond the scope of your understanding I suggest you listen to ikonia. [16:36] _ubuxx_, but as you clearly are ignoring my posts, ill let you know one more time, use xchat not xchat-gnome [16:36] nixnoob - agreed [16:36] slayermcc, Thank you. nixnoob Yes I guess it is. I was just clearign a doubt. [16:37] you could add /boot of 100mo ext2 [16:37] Ackdar, Ive never used my modem before so I dont know how, but Ive heard that gnome-ppp helps [16:37] if you plan to do a dual-boot [16:37] I wasn't aware that existed >_< [16:37] noodlesgc: Is this a dial-up modem and is it a hardware modem... [16:38] know that /home is your backup [16:38] Jack_Sparrow, I have no idea, ask Ackdar [16:38] noodlesgc, wvdial ? [16:38] it's a softmodem [16:38] if you use windows also you could make an fat32 partition to share [16:38] why is everyone talking tyo noodlesgc? [16:38] noodlesgc, o sorry that was meant for ackdar [16:39] Ackdar: Is this a dial-up modem and is it a hardware modem... [16:39] so I'm having trouble, GRUB says Error 21, which I could fix if I could just get to the grub menu. is there any way to do this? [16:39] yeah i was wondering that myself [16:39] !who [16:39] Jack_Sparrow, it's a softmodem [16:39] 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 :) [16:39] !tab [16:39] ubotu - is there a fast way of doing that in xchat? [16:39] You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [16:40] hello, would someone like to tell me why my firefox freezes after every flash video [16:40] roddersg, funny how you're talking to a bot -_- [16:40] tez, you could boot off a cd and select recovery mode. [16:40] Ackdar: Sorry, never saw the point in those, such a pain.. [16:40] noodlesgc: it doesn't have a cd drive that works.. well [16:40] dru, how did you install flash? [16:40] Ackdar, you can tell I'm not in the right frame of mind [16:40] i did the prompt firefox gave me drebellion [16:40] If I dd an md device to a file it should just be able to mount the usual way, yes? eg: sudo mount -o loop filename.img /mountplace Or no? [16:40] hi guys, anyone know how i add videos/music to mythtv? [16:40] dru, did you install gnash or adobe flash? [16:41] noodlesgc: i got to the grub menu once when I had the cd rom plugged in and it was recognized but y ou cant boot off of it, since it has two cdroms im not sure which one [16:41] adobe flash [16:41] genii, yep [16:41] anyway, this is on a different computer, obviously [16:41] so i'll be right back, going to try to get this to work [16:41] DRebellion: OK, thanks [16:41] dru, so the flash doesn't work at all, or is slow/buggy? [16:41] tez ok. If you somehow boot off a cd or maybe even a usb flash disk, you could probably fix grub [16:42] nixnoob, I've always gotten by using System > Administration > Network and activated the modem from there. However, the network dialog has been changed in Gutsy [16:42] genii, you could have just tried it ;) [16:42] fagina|sleep, how'd that work? [16:42] not :( [16:42] drebellion: oh it works, but after every 3rd or 4th vid i watch on *you tube break ... etc* my firefox crashes, i knew this was a problem on the old version of ubuntu ... but to my understanding they fixed that problem [16:42] O_O [16:42] it just keeps blank Ackdar [16:42] DRebellion: Don't want to mess up the raid mbrs of the array if it fails [16:43] fagina|sleep, how far does it get into boot? [16:43] has anybody managed to successfully a recent version of freemind (0.9.0) on ubuntu? [16:43] it's shows 2 lines of messages and that's it [16:43] do u know any c programming channel [16:43] that's what I get [16:43] Ackdar, if your modem is recognized by ubuntu then System > Administration > Network shoudl list it...

Thanks! :) [16:49] the config are located in /etc [16:49] me neither.. and while installing, it paused for a few minutes on that thing I noticed [16:49] 'aptitude purge package' doesn't remove everything does it? I think I've done that and reinstalled something and had everything set up just like it was before. [16:49] something about fd0 (floppy drive) [16:50] dont i need to install the package through aptitude to remove it with aptitude?

Nothing at all, no errors, shows [16:53] how do I set up a keyboard shortcut to open a specific program? [16:53] davey1, if you follow the discussions elsewhere, you have to install the lpr driver first and then the cupswrapper [16:54] Jack_Sparrow: Just tried purge and then install again to make sure I hadn't imagined the whole thing and yeah, everything in /home/user/.purple was still there. [16:54] hey whats that package that gives random messages and ascii art in console when you open a console? [16:54] davey1, in a previous installation, it screwed up my system because I did not have lpr installed [16:54] krim: Purge does not remove per-user configs.

It was working when I first installed Xubuntu but now it has totally disappeared and the same goes for the volume controls. I tried re adding them but it does nothing at all.

[16:59] davey1, yes I did it the same way and got screwed. After that ubuntu was a bit faulty [16:59] "Installed" [16:59] nixnoob: id assume there is a starup package for it but manually i suppose you could add it to the bootmisc.sh script like gksu /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh and scroll down to the motd line and like change the last to [ -f /etc/motd.tail ] && cat /etc/motd.tail && cowsay $(fortune) >> /var/run/motd or something im sure there is an easy package for it though [17:00] Jonathan_L: also, please pastebin the output of "/sbin/route -n" and /sbin/ifconfig.

[17:01] Jonathan_L: Sometimes it helps identify the problem if you turn off wpa and try to connect without all that then add wpa [17:01] devilsreject: calm down. [17:01] Jonathan_L: just so [17:01] Jack_Sparrow: how do I get it to use my windows key? (like... for the control key you type ... what would I use for the win key?) [17:01] Then my sister will hate me... [17:01] She have a Vista laptop [17:01] Jonathan_L: could you pastebin the data i mentioned earlier? [17:02] Hammer89: It is not called a windows key.. it is called the SUPER key, and I dont know if that will work in there. [17:02] Hello all: I have an old dell p4/1gb ram pc - if I install ubuntu on it do i have to find any kind of drivers for it or will it work out of the box so to speak? [17:02] Jack_Sparrow: Ah... okay [17:02] She thinks that internet working on her Vista laptop is more important than internet working in Ubuntu on my laptop [17:02] pici - where does ubuntu tell me exactly what type of ram i have? [17:02] nixnoob: ok then just echo fortune >> ~/.bashrc ;p [17:03] i have nothing on the physical pieces telling me what kind it is [17:03] devilsreject: I dont know.

[17:06] devilsreject i think you are more likely to find that information in your bios screen this is normally limited to type & speed though in most bios's [17:06] Jonathan_L: ah, apologies. i should've realised you were working on the machine presently. do you happen to have the data from when you were only connected via wireless? [17:06] Daveyl ---- even better, thanx i'll be back [17:06] I don't think so, but I can unplug the network canle if that what you mean [17:07] DRebellion, which file shoudl i edit? [17:07] sipior [17:07] where can i find inittab to set default run level for x windows server on ubuntu7.10? [17:07] nixnoob, the one that you edited to break gnome-terminal [17:07] Jonathan_L: what i'm after is: can you verify that the routing information is correct when you connect to the AP [17:07] Does anyone have experience getting the ATI/AMD 2900 XT or PRO restricted drivers working on Gutsy? [17:07] sipior: Ó.ò [17:07] DRebellion, i edited the current profile in the tabs on gnome-terminal i didnt ouch any text files. [17:07] can anyone help? my battery monitor on xubuntu has disappeared and won't return [17:07] sunrise: Ubuntu uses upstart, not the sys v init system.

[17:09] volume control doesnt work on the sub [17:09] Jonathan_L: yes? [17:09] only speakers [17:09] Jack_Sparrow: thanks! [17:09] i installed from packages, but don't know how to upgrade later [17:09] How do I find the MAC Address? [17:09] Does Ubuntu default to giving each user its own gid with a group name the same as the username, or are they all lumped together in a group like 'users' ? [17:09] Hammer89: actually [17:10] Blinny: the former [17:10] sipior: Can you tell me what to do without interfering with my sister's laptop? [17:10] sipior: Thanks mate. [17:10] omazone: If the interface is up, ifconfig should tell you [17:10] Milos_SD Which key is SysRQ? [17:10] noodlesgc: Print screen [17:10] genii: The interface? [17:11] noodlesgc: That key does two things. Usually only print screen. [17:11] Jonathan_L: are you connected via her laptop atm? [17:11] genii: What interface? [17:11] My laptop with a 2 meter long network cable [17:11] Jack_Sparrow: Hmmm... isn't working for me... I'm beginning to wonder if my keyboard isn't configured right... because my Fn key doesn't seem to work either [17:11] oh [17:11] sipior: My laptop is using a cable, my sister is using WLAN [17:12] omazone: If for instance your eth0 device is active, the command: ifconfig will show the eth0 as well as other info like it's IP and MAC [17:12] f.e ati develops 8.2 so... then i just remove old fglrx packages? [17:12] Does anyone at all have a ATI 2900 XT or PRO that works with restricted drivers? [17:12] sipior: My sister won't be very happy if I start messing with the router settings, because that would break her internet connection [17:12] I hate ATI so much now. [17:12] Jonathan_L: i see. well, the trick is to reboot your machine without the ethernet cable, and save the ifconfig and routing data to a file when you are connected via wireless [17:13] Jonathan_L: you shouldn't have to touch the router itself [17:13] sipior: I will. Wait a few minutes. [17:13] sipior: ifconfig? Only ifconfig? [17:13] genii: Is MAC Address the same as HWaddr? [17:13] Jonathan_L: no, /sbin/route -n as well, as before [17:14] Can you give me all commands to do in one line? Want to save it as a text file. [17:14] omazone: Yes [17:14] nixnoob, what did you change? [17:14] Jonathan_L: /sbin/route -n > route.txt /sbin/ifconfig > ifconfig.txt [17:14] hmm so anyone else know of a mirror to apt to since tuxfamily.org must be down since last night? [17:15] genii: Uh-huh, thanks a lot my friend! ^_^ [17:15] DRebellion, i used a custom startup command "gnome-terminal & cowsay `fortune`" [17:15] omazone: You're welcome [17:15] Anyone at all? Any experience with the ATI 2900 video card? [17:15] I can't find it anywhere. [17:15] Guerra: hmm hd2900? [17:15] Guerra: Is Xpress 1200 enough? [17:15] Yes writeout. [17:15] Guerra: i have a hd2900xt [17:15] Hammer89: Are you making the changes in both sections [17:15] Did you get the restricted drivers working, writeout? [17:16] nixnoob, ok, bad idea. lemme find the config file for you. [17:16] Guerra: sure === Macen is now known as Macen_ [17:16] Guerra: the sucks though [17:16] on gusty? [17:16] dude, anything for 3d [17:16] Jack_Sparrow: Yeah... I got q opening the desired program [17:16] Guerra: yeah, but i use envy instead [17:16] Envy? What's that? [17:16] its a automated installed for ati/nvidia binary drivers [17:16] DRebellion, i think i found it [17:16] !envy | Guerra writeout [17:16] Guerra writeout: envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » [17:16] sipior: Now I'm rebooting! [17:16] ... [17:16] not supported by ubuntu though, but it works great for me and all my computers [17:16] nixnoob, ~/.gconf/apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/ [17:17] Wvdial didn't work... === Macen_ is now known as Macen [17:17] Hammer89: What program are you trying to do that does not work [17:17] ubotu: dude, the restricted driver DOES NOT work on my 2900 [17:17] everytime I boot up after installing it [17:17] my screen is black [17:17] DRebellion, yea i fixed it but thanks [17:17] and won't boot into the GUI [17:17] !worksforme [17:17] Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ [17:17] Guerra: try the binary driver through envy [17:17] Guerra, it seems everyone has that problem [17:17] nixnoob, put fortune in your .bashrc [17:17] Jack_Sparrow: the shortcut was to open gnome-do... I was going to use the super key... but I set it to q instead because that wasn't working [17:17] writeout: Bad advise [17:17] Yes, and I want to find someone who has figured a way around it. [17:17] Jack_Sparrow: why [17:18] writeout, you using gutsy with this driver? [17:18] yes, binary [17:18] writeout: We don't support Envy in this channel. [17:18] Pici: which i said. [17:18] Read up what the bot posted about envy [17:18] Guerra, why were you talking to ubotu... it's a bot [17:18] Jack_Sparrow: ok [17:18] Dude, I'm new. So what? [17:18] -_- [17:19] no need to explode all over us [17:19] DRebellion, where does it go? if i just paste the command to the bottom of .bashrc itll run each time i open a terminal? [17:19] Hammer89: I set f to open firefox and works fine [17:19] hi [17:19] writeout: IM me with the instructions for this driver. WIll it enable 3d support? [17:19] nixnoob, yep [17:19] DRebellion, k thnx [17:19] nixnoob, WvDial didn't connect [17:19] I'm a 100% linux noob. the only command I know is sudo, and that's not even a real command. [17:19] Hammer89: Has to be something simple.. try it again [17:19] ok, but if restricted drivers doesnt work, and envy works, it would be ok to say that solution to somewone, while sayin that envy is not supported here. [17:19] please go to #chippl, ok [17:19] thats wierd its up... everyone check out awn... i def prefer the 3d one tho http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=572019 [17:19] Ackdar, what does console say when you try? [17:19] Jack_Sparrow: that's why I'm thinking it might be something wrong with how my keyboard is set up (laptop keyboard)... some keys don't seem to work [17:20] writeout: no [17:20] Guerra: cant, not registered, try ubuntuforums/google. its kinda straight forward [17:20] it gets to WvDial Modem <*1>; Password: [17:20] How can i get 'echo' to print a newline (\n)? [17:20] egh [17:20] le sigh [17:20] DRebellion: echo -e iirc [17:20] DRebellion, thank you it works. [17:20] Jack_Sparrow: but restricted drivers dont work. [17:20] DRebellion: rather, echo -e should interpret backslash expressions [17:20] Pici, perfect, thanks. I should have read the man page. [17:20] having an installation issue: I boot from the CD (7.10 desktop) select install/start ubuntu, then the ubuntu logo appears with the orange back-and-forth bar for about 5 minutes, then the bar stops moving and nothing happens [17:20] it's a fairly new machine [17:20] one other thing. My sister has a Dell Inspiron 1501 and the touch pad doesn't work on Ubuntu 64 Gutsy. Anyway I can find and install the driver to get it working? [17:20] Hammer89: So it might see the super key as something else.. I get it.. [17:21] Ackdar, and then you shoudl enter your password and hit enter. [17:21] I did [17:21] and it did nothing [17:21] Jack_Sparrow: do you know of a way to find out if that's the case? [17:21] acrimo try starting in safe gfx mode [17:21] ignore me, just found the issue. [17:21] writeout: THis is not the place to discuss envy.. it is not needed. the restricted drivers do work when installed properly [17:21] shouldn't it enter the pass for me, since it's in the config? [17:21] i was using the 32bit disk instead of the 64bit [17:21] Ackdar, im sorry i am stumped, yes it shoudl enter the pass for you. [17:21] * acrimo feels stupid [17:22] jack sparrow: Do you have an ATI 2900 series card? [17:22] it also gives me 4 lines of login: and on the last one, it says Login: ATDT3229414 [17:22] If not, you don't know that. [17:22] Jack_Sparrow: what is the "properly way" ? i press the marker to install it, ubuntu downloads the package and insatlls it, i reboot to black screen or some other strange errors. [17:22] then it requests a pass [17:22] 2900 restricted driver does not work. [17:22] Hammer89: Not sure.. I would think if you get the keyboard setup correctly everything will fall into lace [17:22] do you speak bosnian [17:22] ? [17:23] bakcil, none of us speak bosnian [17:23] okay [17:23] Ackdar: someone might [17:23] bakcil http://home.freeuk.com/iandart/ [17:23] Jack_Sparrow: Okay... I'll have to look into that then [17:23] writeout, it is highly doubtable [17:23] writeout: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg will let you fine tune it or setup your monitor type correctly with v/h rates [17:23] writeout, this is an enlish only channel anyway [17:24] hey, if i have scp'ed a file and my connection dropped can i use rsync to basically continue where it left off so i dont have to transfer it all again? [17:24] Jack_Sparrow, Debian live is now up and running off a netboot! [17:24] Thanks again for your help! [17:24] I now have a sense of accomplishment [17:24] writeout: MOre often than not it is a monitor that cannot be probed for the correct rates [17:24] leeping: glad you got it... Welcome to Ubuntu [17:24] and how do you fix that, Jack? [17:24] thanks :P I've been using ubuntu for over a year, it's sad isn't it? [17:25] I need to get in the community some more [17:25] Guerra: You look them up and put them into the xorg. [17:25] Jack_Sparrow: so the most problem with the restricted drivers user have, is invalid monitor settings? [17:25] I've been having problems with my monitor in Ubuntu too. Nec AccuSync 75f [17:25] What do you mean? [17:25] anyone wish to tell me why I can't activate my modem from System > Administration > Network? I has the checkmark, but is won't connect [17:25] it* [17:26] writeout: If they get the right drivers installed, very often it is a v/h rate that will be wrong or something to do with compiz and then we have a whole array of other things. [17:26] . [17:26] jack, if I set my freaking monitor to 640 to whatever, and 60 hz [17:26] it should fucking work [17:26] excuse my language [17:26] i recently installed OSS v4 to be able to use my xfi, but now im getting this error on boot every time: "The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:Deskbar_Applet"." anyone can help me with that? [17:26] language please. [17:27] Guerra, theoretically yes, but some monitors are weird [17:27] Guerra: No excuse for that language in this channel period [17:27] Hi all, i apt-getted source linux-image, changed highmem from 4 to 64, then i did the make-kpkg thing. Now, why do i end up with a package with a different version? is there a way to remake the package so that i can alter it, but not get a different version ? [17:27] I already apologized for it. No need to tell me. [17:27] http://pastebin.org/19073 [17:27] Jack_Sparrow, he's already been told. once will do :) [17:27] !patience | Guerra [17:27] Guerra: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that.

[17:28] Learn to respect others, even if it is online, eth01. [17:28] oh well [17:28] * eth01 sighs. [17:28] nixnoob; speak for yourself. i troll to learn [17:29] Seriously nixnoob. This is ridiculous. [17:29] let's change the subject folks. [17:29] the graphiccard/monitor problem in linux/ubuntu is really bad compared to windows. i think many potential new ubuntusers falls off on this [17:29] Jonathan_L: yeah, your router isn't doling out an ip address. after connecting, try running "sudo dhclient ath0" [17:29] bastid_raZor, just kidding =) [17:29] By the way, anyone know how to get rid of the delay before a submenu is opened in the main menu? [17:29] After connecting? [17:29] I apologize for using profanity, that wasn't even directed at anyone, and you all jump on me. [17:29] ati is evil [17:29] Ridiculous. [17:29] instead of helping me [17:29] Guerra: May I have a quick pm [17:29] nixnoob; now i charge three pence for walking over my bridge [17:29] Guerra, maybe you should learn some respect instead of whining about a problem that we are trying to help you with. It seems like you are blocking us out for your own solutions... [17:29] Guerra: what are your nationality? [17:29] Does it matter? [17:30] i'll ask again, can we please change the subject of conversation please. [17:30] Hi there, I just installed kubuntu on an acer aspire 5720 laptop. It has an atheros AR5006EG wifi card built in.. The atheros restricted module is loaded, but the wifi light on the laptop doesnt burn and I cant see the wireless device in kubuntu either.. Could anybody help me to get this to work? [17:30] bastid_raZor, i have zero pence only american dollars [17:30] * Ackdar deletes writeout [17:30] HI [17:30] Guerra: some ppl does react really bad, on bad language. [17:30] Jonathan_L: yes, though it should work now just fine [17:30] nixnoob; american is soon to be of no value.. the euro will do [17:30] Hrishikesh, please use lowercase [17:30] bastid_raZor, agreed [17:30] is there any way to recover yahoo messenger password in version for linux? [17:30] sipior: What do you mean? [17:30] Hrishikesh, no. [17:30] It's kind of silly writeout, but that's life. [17:30] !offtopic [17:30] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [17:31] Anyways, back to my problem. [17:31] Hrishikesh: what do you mean recover? [17:31] Jonathan_L: try typing that command in a terminal, then try ifconfig again. see if there's an ip address for the ath0 device [17:31] I tried .ymessenger directory [17:31] Guerra: May I have a quick pm [17:31] The liberal use of ubotu in here is just lovely. [17:31] ATI HD2900 Pro. Restricted Drivers. [17:31] Guerra: Just ask a question about your monitor. Probably the guy that wrote the Linux driver isn't here, and probably, Nec don't spend a cent on making proper drivers. [17:31] Go ahead Jack. [17:31] * Ackdar agrees with writeout, but refers him to #ubunto-offtopic [17:31] Jack_Sparrow, he is not identified to services ;) [17:31] uhhh [17:31] #ubuntu-offtopic [17:31] Pici, can we change the !offtopic trigger to reflect that the channel/person is talking offtopic instead of just listing the ubuntu channels? [17:31] max: Sadly. I need to get a new monitor, but that's a bad solution to the issue really. How is Samsung support? [17:32] look's like we'll need some staff in here...

[17:33] :) [17:33] there [17:33] ll fixed [17:33] Ackdar, :) thanks [17:33] all* [17:33] now if it passes through ops it will be okay [17:33] and if you require assistance with the registeration of your nick, join #freenode [17:34] sipior: http://pastebin.org/19076 [17:34] registration , even [17:34] Okay, so new problem. Let's put this 2900 and nec monitor on the sidelines for now. [17:34] can i save all the repositary sources links, and and a list of all my programs installed on this computer, to install it on another computer? [17:34] !offtopic | Ackdar [17:34] I've tried to save my little sister's laptop from the horrible Vista. [17:34] Jack_Sparrow: do you know how to use the tab key in a shortcut? [17:34] I installed 64 bit Ubuntu, she has an Inspiron 1501. [17:34] !clone [17:34] To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate [17:34] Ackdar, please don't do that. [17:34] Is it okay to post a URL to the ubuntu forms for my question? I keep asking and no one can seem to answer it [17:34] Ackdar, you broke it! [17:34] Hammer89: dont think that is possible [17:35] eth01, huh? [17:35] encrypt128bit, yes, consider joining the ubuntu-forums channel here too [17:35] Jack_Sparrow: hmm... okay [17:35] can some1 help me? [17:35] Jack_Sparrow: thanks *hugs* [17:35] DRebellion, I broke nothing [17:35] eth01: #ubuntuforums is not a support channel, they defer to here. [17:35] Hi, My friend has lost his password of yahoo, it is stored in his yahoomessenger in .ymessenger directory, & i saw some sort of encoded text as password, so is there any way to get it back?

[17:35] sipior? http://pastebin.org/19076 [17:35] Hrishikesh, it is probably a one-way hash. the short answer is: no. [17:35] Pici, no, it's for discussion *about* the ubuntu forums et cetera [17:36] Jack_Sparrow: general support [17:36] Hrishikesh, wait, maybe it isn't... [17:36] Guys. Dell Inspiron 1501. The touch pad won't work with gutsy gibbon. Anyone know how I can find, download and install the proper drivers for it? [17:36] np [17:36] Hrishikesh, please stop repeating, and Linux is one of the most secure OS's on the planet. I doubt you can get it back. [17:36] Jonathan_L: i saw it, give me a moment to think [17:36] kimmey2k4: We are not mind-readers. Please give us full information about your problem. [17:36] !touchpad | Guerra [17:36] Guerra: For a comprehensive Synaptics Touchpad guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad [17:36] but you can get it back in gaim [17:36] sipior: :P [17:36] noodlesgc: That doesn't contain the information I want, sadly.

[17:37] Anybody else that can help too? [17:37] eth01, please elaborate. What am I not supposed to do? [17:37] kimmey2k4: I suggest you wait until the Ubuntu devs have released an official updated package. [17:37] Pici: I'll do that :) [17:37] DRebellion, please tell me how [17:37] I'm getting pissed off by 7.10 !!! *grrr* [17:37] encrypt128bit: Please include a description of the problem and not just a link [17:37] Hrishikesh, i don't know exactly, sorry. [17:37] Guerra, try typing you model name then "ubuntu" into google [17:37] Ackdar: I believe he was referring to doing !fact | myself, instead of messaging the bot. [17:38] Guerra, just go to www.google.com/linux and enter you model name [17:38] any place where i can get it? [17:38] Jack_Sparrow: someone just told me i could post a link to the problem. The link has all the description [17:38] Hi. Could someone point me towards a rundown of virtualization options under ubuntu? (I want to run a virtual linux machine running another distro under Ubuntu) [17:38] Jonathan_L: how do you start the wireless connection? with networkmanager? [17:38] Pici, ah...

[17:38] !virtualization | queuetue [17:38] I click on it's icon in the "menu field" or in the main menu [17:38] queuetue: There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications [17:38] sipior [17:38] noodle: I've been doing that for over a week, I looked at pretty much every single forum on the issue and absolutely NOT a single helpful article. I've even been to www.ubuntu1501.com which specializes in this laptop. [17:38] I've called Dell Support even.

[17:39] good evening [17:39] queuetue, Ubotu is not a real person, no need to thank it [17:39] encrypt128bit: Yes, you can post a detailed link about the problem, but if you say something to indicate what it is about, video, audio, drives, setup .. someone with experience in that area will go look. If not then you stand the chance of being ignored [17:39] even bots need loving. [17:39] Jonathan_L: my first thought was that the wireless router may have a mac filter on it, but you mentioned that it works fine under windows, and i presume this is the same wireless card [17:39] sipior: My laptop have an on/off switch for WLAN. I just leave it on, nothing else. [17:39] !botsnack [17:39] Ackdar, I figured that out pretty quick. :) [17:39] Yum! Err, I mean, APT!

[19:36] Pici, we would get access denied [19:36] Trying to mount a LaCie BigDisk 500GB external HDD (Linux claims it's HPFS/NTFS, I know it's NTFS). sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 returns an error (wrong fstype, bad option or damaged superblock). Any ideas? [19:37] Ackdar: not to list. [19:37] when I "dpkg --get-selections" almost everything is marked 'deinstall'. any idea how to change that back? none of those should be marked for deinstall.

(Debian font manager) [19:39] Jonathan_L: Is it installed? [19:39] anyone know any tutorials on how to use another partition as a backup to restore my old system?

The problem is that my script seem to start before the network is up. Does anyone know how to make it wait until network is up?

[19:42] DarkSpirit221, yes, it's a complete sources.list [19:42] does anyone know how to fix a few small visual issues i am having [19:42] rickest: That's a tough one. [19:42] when gdm loads...it turns the screen white for a breif moment [19:42] DarkSpirit221, sorry, I have to take care of an emergency here, bbl [19:42] Seveas: Mine was bigger... [19:42] how can i make that black [19:42] shortcircuit: I guess I just need a way to 'reset' the status back to install... [19:43] DarkSpirit221, it was all commented out and thus useless [19:43] rickest: try aptitude [19:43] Seveas: Ok [19:43] Hello all [19:43] shortcircuit: So yeah, that showed me libntfs-3g-dev, 3g0 and ntfs-3g. What do I do with that info? ^^ [19:43] Where is the ubuntu password file (with the passwords) stored? [19:43] I need to crack em [19:43] canthony: do sudo gedit /etc/gdm/PreSession/Default [19:43] Is there a command to see the speed of a network connection? [19:43] rickest: Load aptitude, hit "g" once. That'll show you a list of affected packages. [19:43] i know about that bug [19:43] i am running hardy and that is actually fixed now [19:43] Cpudan80, what the heck [19:43] rickest: Go through and hit + on each one. [19:43] shortcircuit: that's how I discovered this. aptitude says 78 pkgs are broken, presumably because of the pkgs marked for deinstall. ok will try -g [19:44] rickest: Be careful *not* to apply changes. [19:44] ubuntu keeps going into low graphics mode, how do i fix this [19:44] Cpudan80, do you honestly think we're going to tell you how to crack Ubuntu? [19:44] Ackdar: Im trying to see if my password is secure, Im going to attempt to crack it with John the Ripper [19:44] burkmat: Those are packages that provide ntfs-3g [19:44] i want it to look black the entire time to look clean [19:44] Ackdar: It's open source, but anyway... :P [19:44] burkmat: "apt-get install ntfs-3g" will install it. [19:44] but gdm like "tears" down the screen [19:44] canthony: Don't know then. Sorry. [19:44] Ackdar: No but.... if you could tell me where the file is.... the /etc/passwd file has a blank where the password field is [19:44] shortcircuit: Treat me like the rookie I am. Not new to computers at all, but Linux.. That's another story. :P [19:44] another thing [19:44] shorcircuit: Alright, that easy eh... Nice ^^ [19:44] And password security isn't really the same thing as OS security [19:45] do you know how to make compiz NOT kill the desktop when its activated? [19:45] Linux is one of the most secure OS's in the world [19:45] burkmat: use "dpkg -L ntfs-3g|grep man" to find the names of the man pages provided. [19:45] i want to add some path to ~/.profile to use this tools as root , what should i do? [19:45] whenever i log in, my gnome panels load then dissapear due to compiz firing up [19:45] canthony: Graphics card? [19:45] Ackdar: I have a specific purpose for doing this.... its for good, not evil :-) [19:45] Cpudan80, have you tried ls / | grep passwd ? [19:45] i am running intel915 on t43 laptop === _shoot^ is now known as shoot^ [19:46] the thing is...it never did this with feisty [19:46] burkmat: You should see lines for ntfs-3g.8.gz, mount.ntfs-3g.8.gz, and mount.ntfs.8.gz [19:46] what will change if I install ubuntustudio-desktop? why does is it need to install a new kernel? [19:46] Cpudan80, /etc/shadow [19:46] i mean everything works [19:46] * Ackdar says the Ubuntu Gutsy fails for user friendliness [19:46] EVERYTHING? [19:46] I can't connect to the internet. I have a softmodem using the restricted slmodem driver, but there's no way for me to dial. I used to use the network dialog, but it's been changed since dapper... now, since I'm on gutsy, I'm lost. All information has been enetered including DNS [19:46] to read those manuals, try "man ntfs-3g", "man mount.ntfs-3g", and "man mount.ntfs.8.gz" respectively. [19:46] shortcircuit: nice. looks like that marks everything correctly. now just exit w/o applying you said? [19:46] rickest: Right. [19:46] there is just about 8-10 seconds of only a background, no panels, desktop icons or anything [19:47] shortcircuit: Yeah, that's right. [19:47] DRebellion: Thank you [19:47] shortcircuit: beautiful! thank you VERY much [19:47] rickest: np. [19:47] !dtc-postfix-courier [19:47] Cpudan80, you might want to use the 'unshadow' tool to merge them [19:47] canthony; And after those seconds? [19:47] Damn it. [19:47] rickest: I've made similar mistakes in the past. :-) [19:47] how do i find info on a package using the bot?

That should get you a little close. [19:47] i am using a readahead hack to profile my login [19:47] * shortcircuit has to go back to work. [19:48] shortcircuit: I'm not *positive* I actually typed '--clear-selections', I just realized it was the exact symptoms I had (after a fresh install) [19:48] shortcircuit: On it, didnt see nonhighlited at first. :) Thanks for the help. ^^ [19:48] i can go from gdm to full desktop in about 12 seconds [19:48] burkmat: np [19:48] it only does it with compiz [19:48] hi, how big is the smallest installation of ubuntu server 7.10 on a x86 system? [19:48] metacity works fine [19:48] Ackdar, you might want to install the gnome-ppp package. [19:48] seems to be related [19:49] to the fact that when you start compiz manually, it kills all the windows momentarily??? anyone else have this happen [19:49] zerhacke, I would, if I could get on the internet in the first place... [19:49] can someone help me figure out why ubuntu starts in low graphics mode.......or should i just reformat [19:49] still no mp4 [19:49] hi guys, how do i install a .rpm file? [19:49] !alien > cheesypieces [19:49] !minimal | oliver__ [19:49] oliver__: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD).

I get colors in BIOS / terminal / etc but not in X. Any ideas? I've tried with both SVIDEO and COMPOSITE, as well as different TV standards (PAL/NTSC) but all the same. [19:50] ubotu, the interesting thing for me is the size of the installed system [19:50] is firefox 3 considered stable? or close to it? [19:50] the people in #ubuntu-offtopic don't seem to care a bit what problems Ubuntu has... they don't even talk about Ubuntu! [19:50] anyway [19:50] back to my problem [19:50] oliver__, 1) ubotu is a bot 2) just thought that it would be of interest to you [19:50] !.tar [19:50] Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME) or Ark (KDE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression [19:51] joh: have you tried using xrandr [19:51] thats how i got my tvout + vga working [19:51] Is there a command to see the speed of a network connection?

[19:52] anyone else encounter the dissapearing desktop when compiz is enable...not permanently but for a few seconds [19:52] DRebellion something liek eth0 [19:53] simps, i meant wireless/wired [19:53] joh: type xrandr in a terminal do you get output [19:53] wireless [19:53] DRebellion, wireless [19:53] simps, iwconfig eth0 [19:53] how about lan [19:53] umount /netdrive ( device busy ). ls /netdrive ( big delay, nothing happens ). [19:53] canthony: Yeah, it only shows screen 0, not my TV. [19:53] /netdrive is a smbfs mount. [19:54] jsoftw, lsof | grep netdrive [19:54] or supposed to be. [19:54] DRebellion: not working, big delay, nothing happens. [19:54] i guess ubuntu isnt compatible with my laptop :( [19:54] DRebellion it doesn't show the speed in kb/s though [19:54] simps, it shows in Mb/s [19:54] keep trying... [19:54] joh: hmm i dont really know then, mine says LVDS (laptop), TV, and VGA [19:54] :\ [19:55] beginner linux question coming up: using "top" in terminal says I have 2 users on my system.

[19:56] run the command at the top of the xorg.conf [19:56] DRebellion, so maybe its just local? is there a way to get the speed outside of the router? [19:57] simps, this is referring to the speed you can send data to your router of course [19:57] this is stupid. [19:57] wyoming_dude: or are you looking for status of network connections [19:57] pocketdrummer: yes i did, and i put it back how it was [19:57] unagi: manually or did you replace it with a backup?

[19:58] i know hw to resolve that [19:58] unagi: I'm not sure what the problem is, but I think ours might be related. I can't change xorg.conf without it going into low graphics mode.

I had to reinstall [20:14] displayconfig-gtk [20:14] alumno10 ubotu is a bot [20:14] lol i see :P === tyczek is now known as Tyczek [20:14] my lord i shouldnt have to reinstall to fix this stupid problem [20:14] canthony, in this case you get past boot and it gives you the message [20:14] then you can't continue [20:14] Odd-rationale: Tried mounting like that, but that gave me some very fuzzy error saying it could be bad superblock, bad option or just nonexistant drive. I got ntfs-3g as recommended by someone else in here, and that tells me that "Failed to startup volume: Invalid argument", and some more. The computer doesn't seem to realize the drive is actually running NTFS since most of the errors seem to say "Ehm, no, the drive isnt NTFS, stop tryin [20:14] g to mount as such." [20:15] alumno10, you should read your syslogs on your server and see if that gives any clue [20:15] ahh [20:15] bah! [20:15] burkmat: Internal/external? [20:16] Does anyone know how to confiure amarok so it will play music off of an ipod? [20:16] Odd-rationale: External 500GB LaCie. I know they like to fuck things up, but still trying my best to make up for their incompetence. [20:16] Can someone help to connect by remote desktop using ubuntu server 7.10 + LTSP? the problem is when i put rdp_options = 192 168.1.2 screen_02 = rdesktop in lts.conf don't work, then sreen stil in black [20:16] !language | burkmat [20:16] burkmat: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [20:16] Sorry :( [20:16] hi, all. i messed up ubuntu and now it boots to a black screen. i installed ubuntu again on another parition of my harddrive, but was wondering if i could restore my old copy in any way as it has all my files and settings [20:16] any help would REALLY be appreciated [20:16] what did you do right before it messed up/ [20:17] Gato:why not ask in #ltsp.. [20:17] ok thanks a lot [20:17] burkmat: Have you tried sudo ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /mnt? [20:17] well i was trying to fix a compiz file i think libgnoemu or something like that, so i was deleting its dependencies and basically deleted some important files im sure [20:17] im a newb so i was swimming in uncharted waters and screwed it up [20:18] it will load the login screen, but once i login i just get a black screen with a cursor [20:18] Odd-rationale: Yeah. That's whats giving me the "The device '/dev/sda1' doesn't have a valid NTFS." along with some other things like "Failed to startup volume". === tuna-fish is now known as tuna [20:18] joe_: Recommending a reinstall [20:19] Hi all, anyone know an easy way of automating openvpn connecting? I guess, like an init script or something? [20:19] Odd-rationale: Yeah. That's whats giving me the "The device '/dev/sda1' doesn't have a valid NTFS." along with some other things like "Failed to startup volume". [20:19] ackdar, ah i figured as much. how would u recommend me to reinstall? [20:19] Is there a command to show what the speed of a network connection is? [20:19] just boot the live cd? [20:19] burkmat: Ok. Sorry. but that is over my head. :( [20:20] Odd-rationale: Alright. Thanks anyways. :) [20:20] joe_: obviously :P [20:20] I just noticed the channel topic. Is the flash *finally* fixed? [20:20] hi! i'm trying to install ubuntu on a really old laptop through the live cd... it seems to go well until the gnome desktop starts loading, and never comes off of that light brown screen, i let the system trying to load for maybe 2 hours, and nothing happened.... is there some specification I can give on boot to try to install ubuntu on this PC ? [20:20] joe: I'm not an expert but.... backup your home dir first :) [20:21] vinicius_: Try the alternative install cd [20:21] anybody here managed to connect to internet via wm6 smartphone? [20:21] Nibblyn, too late [20:21] vinicius_, how much ram do you have? [20:21] mateusz: I found instructions on the removal and installation of hard drives for your laptop. [20:21] you need at least 256 MB [20:22] so once you get that message you are locked out basically [20:22] gato: have you looked into freenx [20:22] i got that working on several machines, extremely slick [20:22] my recommendation is 1GB [20:22] what other alternatives are there to gdm...kdm, xdm, slim...... [20:22] Odd-rationale, is there some way to not use the alternate CD in this case? because I really dont have how to download another ISO [20:22] Ackdar, probably less than 384MB [20:22] that readahead hack cut my login time in half on gutsy [20:22] vinicius_: You can use the mini.iso (10 mb) [20:23] Odd-rationale, how it works? [20:23] is mini.iso a net install? [20:23] vinicius_: I simply downlads all the packages from the net. I would not really reccomended it unless you have fast, reliable internet connection (or a lot of paitience). [20:24] somebody uses ltsp? /query me [20:24] Odd-rationale, thats the problem, a ISO download here would take another 4 days [20:24] vinicius_: The advantage is, that you don;t have to do an upgrade after you install. It already downloads the latest packages. [20:24] Drive running NTFS, appears not to (according to mount & ntfs-3g). Mounting with both of them fails with the explanation that drive "lacks valid NTFS". [20:25] vinicius_: How much ram do you have? [20:25] oh nvm [20:25] Odd-rationale, but is there someway to install from live boot? because I probably have less ram tha required [20:25] Odd-rationale, probably less than 384MB [20:25] Odd-rationale: i am trying to create a mobile installation system...i plan of downloading the entire hardy repo to an external hd upon release [20:25] Odd-rationale, its a really old and crappy computer [20:25] entire hardy repo... === miracle is now known as DrVali_Laptop [20:25] yes [20:25] entire [20:25] wow [20:26] hey, I accidentally deleted my /usr/share/icons directory [20:26] vinicius_, then you should look at the minimal install [20:26] what package reinstalls it? [20:26] when performing backups with tar. Which folder do I exvlude? [20:26] Ubuntu 7.10 [20:26] i need to be able to install on peoples computer that have no active connection [20:26] vinicius_: With your amount or ram, it would be really tight to do a live install. [20:26] Question... what would be a good linux program for online radio brodcasting (live stream) [20:26] i have 10mb internet though [20:26] can someone help me, Im trying to set up a debian distro on a Ubuntu Xen server, I am getting a little mixed up cause most documentation I am finding shows how to create guest hosts from the same operating system the xen-server is running, so I am getting a little bit thrown off on specifying which kernel to use, etc. [20:26] is it in your ~/.trash, DrVali_Laptop? [20:26] nope. sudo'ed it from the terminal. [20:27] ouch [20:27] yeah [20:27] I reinstalled some icons using synaptic, but it's not the packages that were there. [20:27] vinicius_: I installed ubuntu on a 256mb machine but create a swap partition before booting the cd [20:28] Nibblyn, how can you create the swap if it won't loads? [20:28] is htere a way to check what kind of filesyste you have on a partition when it's not mounted or can't be mounted [20:28] vinicius_: The best thing I can reccomend for you is to use another distro like Puppy Linux. It works really fast esp. on old hardware. the iso is not much more than 70 -100 mb [20:28] Odd-rationale, I was thinking about that [20:28] DrVali_Laptop, you will probably have to get special program icons by hand, but othrer than that reinstall the human icons, I don't know the exact package [20:29] perhaps if I just reinstall all installed packages it will reappear [20:29] anyone know how to do that? [20:29] Any one know the best program for live radio streams [20:29] thats a lot of work... [20:29] sudo fsck /dev/sda [20:29] can grub be installed in swap?

[20:29] can someone please tell me why my firefox keeps crashing? it is really getting annoying im trying to edit my site and it just keep crashing OVER and OVER again [20:29] how do I choose another supeblock [20:29] no, grub cannot be installed in swap [20:29] hey all... [20:29] hey [20:30] who have a ralink rt2500 wireless card? [20:30] hi [20:30] vinicius_: well... i used an old linux distro just for partitioning... the point is that with 256mb ubuntu must find the swap partition prior booting the cd... so he can use it during install [20:30] there has to be a way to force compiz to start earlier so it doesnt cut out the desktop [20:30] nobody can help me? [20:30] or a program that will stream music files for a internet radio station === avc_afk is now known as avc_nice [20:31] drakaan - shoutcast? [20:31] *is the ubuntu wiki pretty comprehensive? [20:31] hi all, what is the hotkey to swich the nautilus location bar from/to text from/to clickable buttons? [20:32] will it be able to streamed with most players? [20:32] help! [20:32] drakaen - yes, i believe it is an mp3 stream [20:33] k... can i jump on for a live cast for things as such? [20:33] or is it pure file stream? [20:33] i believe it is a live cast [20:33] okay... let me take a look [20:33] ubuntu distro has more support via its doc/forum/wiki than any other distro i have encountered/used [20:33] don't think it's open source though... [20:34] anyone know if upgrading from dapper to gutsy via apt is a bad idea? [20:34] ahh... any idea a open source (or free at least) [20:34] shoutcast is free. [20:34] oh okay [20:34] or icecast [20:34] not sure about open source projects though. i know there must be some out there though. [20:34] Drive running NTFS, appears not to (according to mount & ntfs-3g). Mounting with both of them fails with the explanation that drive "lacks valid NTFS". [20:35] hi [20:35] burkmat - what is the exact device you are pointing at? [20:36] /dev/sda1 [20:36] bummer. [20:36] fdisk -l /dev/sda1 [20:36] does it say /dev/sda1 is an ntfs partition? [20:36] Says HPFS/NTFS. [20:36] burkmat, is it your windows partition? [20:37] seems like. [20:37] dmarsa: No. External HDD which I for some reason made NTFS. *sigh* [20:37] ah [20:37] oh [20:37] I've installed phppgadmin, but I get a 403 Forbidden === avc_nice is now known as avc_mean [20:37] is there a nautilus hotkey to toggle between button and text-based location bar? [20:37] I need some help setting up my sis video card and sis soundcard, anyone willing to help me out ? [20:37] Any chance I could perhaps reformat it to something friendly? [20:37] when last did you use it? can you remember if it was shutdown/removed cleanly or not? [20:38] yeah burkmat, you could. is there data on there you care about? [20:38] yeah u can burkmat, if ur ok with whatever was on it being lost [20:38] dmarsa: It never worked on Linux, and it always works in XP, so I'm pretty sure the drive itself works. [20:38] Drakaen: did find your software? [20:38] yep... found one for both linux and win32... [20:38] derweire, dmarsa: Yeah, but the plan is to save whats there, otherwise I'd just reformat it. [20:39] burkmat - is that the only partition that shows up on the removable drive? [20:39] Whenever I log in to my Ubuntu Feisty install, it loads the desktop and promptly the display crashes and I am back at the login screen. It still does this when I use the failsafe login, extra info: running c-f and kiba-dock. When the system first boots, It takes longer to finish loading whatever causes the crash so I have had time to hit Alt+f2 and type "metacity --replace" but even loading a different wm didn't fix the problem. [20:39] gents, problem with 7.10 network.... [20:39] doing ifup eth0 [20:39] getting [20:39] could an application not shutting down properly wreak havoc (sp) on a hard drive? That's two boot failures I get due to file system errors. I fixed them all last time, but they appeared again. [20:39] Hi. [20:39] eth0: ERROR while getting interface flags: no such interface [20:39] can someone please help? [20:40] hi, gparted failes when i tried to grow a ext3 partition, then when i tried it again, it says that ext3 superblcok was broken. now e2fsck is working on it for already 3 hours and at the the moment it does this http://rafb.net/p/gGDvT412.html it's very slow, shall i still wait? [20:40] hi people ... hey why gimp-perl is not installable ? [20:40] dverweire: No. That I found sort of fishy. There are sda1, 2 and 4. It claims 2 and 4 "Do not end within cylinder boundaries" and they're both labeled empty. [20:41] I pressed ctrl+alt+f1 to get to a terminal screen, and now when I press ctrl+alt+f7, I just get a black screen with a blinking cursor and nothing else...Is there a way to get back into gnome? [20:41] I'm starting to suspect this is just LaCie's idiocy in action once again. [20:41] mikebot - try ctrl -alt - f8 and other combinations up to f12 [20:42] neko: try libgimp-perl [20:42] dverweire: Oh, f9 worked...I thought that these were set in stone.. [20:42] burkmat - do you have a windows machine you can try connecting it to? [20:42] clustermagnet-> is that a wireless nic or ethernet? [20:42] mikebot: f9 is usually where mine end up [20:42] dverweire: Thanks, and do you know why my f7 would just be a blank screen? [20:42] same :( [20:42] Hello. How can I find my current CPU usage statistics through the Linux terminal? [20:42] macogw: Oh..do you know why it changes [20:42] mikebot - yeah sometimes they're not. don't know why! [20:42] dverweire: Haha, OK, thanks. [20:42] dverweire: Yeah. It works perfectly fine, but if you want me to check something from Win I'll reconnect it. [20:43] mikebot: i think the first one is on f7 then once youve killed X / logged in again, it jumps to f9 instead of reusing f7 [20:43] zylstra555: top [20:43] macogw: Ah, OK.. well thanks. [20:43] shr1k3 same problem ( gimp (>= 2.2.0+rel) ) [20:43] dverweire: Thanks again. [20:43] GOodbye! [20:43] burkmat - i didn't have anything specific to try in windows. i was just going to suggest copying the files off of it in windows and then format it as FAT so it would work better in linux. [20:43] mikebot - you bet! take care [20:44] burkmat, when you remove it from windows do you use the safely remove feature? [20:44] hey folks, for some reason knetworkmanager doesn't work anymore... it doesn't recognize my wifi connection at all [20:45] i gotta do it all by hand in the terminal to get on [20:45] burkmat - you could also try running chkdsk under windows on the drive [20:45] dverweire: Local HDD 40GB, 500GB Data. :P [20:45] dmarsa: Err... Well, not as often as I should. :P [20:45] is there a known issue with the recent firefox update? [20:45] burkmat - hahahhaa. tough luck. :) [20:45] any help? [20:45] it's not starting since the update for me [20:45] sigh [20:45] What's the development package again? [20:45] are there any configs i could purge to try and reset it? [20:45] I always forget [20:45] and: [20:45] $ firefox -ProfileManager [20:45] Segmentation fault (core dumped) [20:46] burkmat, an unclean removal shutdown on ntfs causes it not to mount under linux [20:46] obsidianx - have you modified your /etc/network/interfaces ? [20:46] that caused my knetworkmanager to bust [20:46] guys, can someone please helP? [20:46] When I select My Ubuntu Gutsy install from the boot menu, it says "Failed to mount selected partition" even though the partition mounts fine via IFS in windows and in my Feisty install. I have made no changes to the boot options/loaders since the last successful boot of the system, which was yesterday. [20:47] any one know how to change the default time on grub to not have a countdown? [20:47] dverweire: i dont think so, is there any particular format it needs to be in so i can fix it? [20:47] Drakaen: you want it to last forever? or go immediately? [20:47] change grub config in menu.lst [20:47] neko: so you are getting library incompat when trying to install gimp-perl or libgimp-perl? [20:47] dmarsa: I see. Se reconnecting and removing it nicely fixes it? [20:47] last forever [20:47] Drakaen: Change it to 0 [20:47] Is it normal for gutsy to perform a scheduled task occasionally which will logout the user? It happens here I can't find why... [20:47] Has anybody been able to make Abode Premiere Pro work well with a virtual machine or modified wine? I have it working with vbox, but it's too slow to seriously edit. [20:47] Drakaen: er, maybe its -1, let me double check [20:47] change what though? [20:47] you can mount it in windows and then cleanly unmount it. i know with regard to shutdown they suggest to boot up windows, shutdown cleanly, boot into windows again and shutdown cleanly [20:48] obsidianx - as minimal as possible. not specifiying anything about your wireless interface [20:48] so i can only assume you should try something similar burkmat [20:48] shr1k3 [20:48] tep [20:48] Drakaen - edit /boot/grub/menu.lst - set timeout to zero [20:48] yes (i mean) [20:48] dverweire: right now it has two lines about it: [20:48] gents, can someone please help!? trying "ifup eth0 [20:48] dmarsa: Ok, will try that.

[20:49] Hello, I've got a lovely headless server with ubuntu 7.04 at the other end of the world, and every so often iptables decides to lock it down entirely, so I cannot access it at all via ssh or vnc, but I know its there because its updating the no-ip account so I can ping the router.. [20:49] obsidianx - you might try removing that line. make a backup of the file first incase further problems occur. [20:49] hi everyone. I am trying to install avant window navigator.

[21:29] I have big issues upgrading my kernel [21:29] sqrt1412, put them in .xchat2/ directory [21:29] gumis: On some drivers like em28xx as well, they have an option like radio=1 [21:29] but in gnome radio all radio stations are moved about 1mhz ?! [21:29] toad__: nothing yet.. there are some patches floating around [21:29] toad__, the update will be here asap. I'd suggest not building your own as it will cause problems. [21:29] Rubin, any config-file to be changed? [21:29] sqrt1412, no [21:29] PriceChild I cant wait, Im hosting 700 websites with CGIs [21:30] and tuner uses antenna for tv, not for radio heh [21:30] Rubin, thx, one [21:30] gumis: I think the MythTV ppl would have way more info for you than here, it is only general support basically in this channel [21:30] toad__: you giving users shell accounts on your box? [21:30] toad__, lovely, I'd suggest grabbing the kernel headers, removing the vmsplice module then building it. [21:30] someone please help me.......i added a bad string to xorg.conf, restarted, went into low graphics mode, took out the bad string, now i cant get out of low graphics mode..........can anyone help me? http://pastebin.org/19089 [21:30] i tried adding radio=1 but it says there is no that parameter [21:30] pepperjack Im offering CGIs, so, duh, yes [21:31] gumis: Thats why I suggest MythTV help of some kind. They have lots of experience with all the different tuners and so on [21:31] Now, whoever was helping me with the TV-Out for the laptop: I somehow managed to kill it, and without seeing anything on the TV. Any suggestions for shortcuts that might work in place of the obviously failing default? [21:31] genii: you think i must add properly tuner value to get it work? (tv is working ok without it) [21:31] PriceChild I cannot locate the vmsplice 'module' and after recompiling my kernel the raid array aint being detected by my initrd.. (Im using a software RAID1) [21:32] toad__, the latter being why compiling your own kernel is bad. [21:32] gumis: For instance on my em2880 based card there are about25 tuner types that work, but only 3 or 4 of those 25 that work also include the radio tuner [21:32] Sandra24: At least log out and log in to influence the files in your session.

[21:33] toad__, i'm trying to find a fix for you [21:33] toad__: there is no vmsplice module afaics [21:33] _Oz_: Yes, you only need the cgtrl when getting out of X not back into it [21:33] hmm, and second question [21:33] *ctrl [21:33] can i check it with command? [21:33] erUSUL thats what I saw :) [21:33] hi [21:33] PriceChild dont bother finding some memory patching code please :) [21:33] toad__: latest stable kernels from kernel.org carrie the fix [21:34] toad__, the fix was released to debian 6 hours ago.

[21:35] it works, but i want to use alsa to play sound, how to change this to use alsa? [21:35] merci [21:35] toad__: well the patch 17<->18 is the fix (the one ubuntu will apply for gutsy) [21:35] testify, i dont think so. its better to make your DHCP server always give you the same IP [21:35] Rubin: why? [21:35] erUSUL hmm do you have some link ? [21:36] Kibbles, if you want it static, i mean. [21:36] so basically I just have to use the ubuntu linux-source and recompile after applying the patch ? sounds neat :) [21:36] toad__: http://www.eu.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.22.18 [21:36] static gets old fast [21:36] j/k [21:36] k [21:36] yeah ok that wont do I guess [21:37] arthurlight: The other comouter, does it also have some linux on it as well, or just windows?

[21:53] maximilion: sudo [21:53] 'ello [21:53] <_elemental> maximilion sudo on the cli, gksudo in gnome [21:53] maximilion: mostly, chown -R user:group /directory/whatever , then chmod [21:53] :( [21:53] hend - ok - found the page i was looking for...

[21:53] _elemental , thanks anyway, about u'r dual problem, I solved it at my workstation @ work using kernel recompile .... [21:53] psycholvlan, depends how you installed it. [21:53] if I want to run a shell command at startup, where must I add it? [21:53] maximilion: ah... what kind of password prompt did you want?.. sudo -u maximilion might work too..

I tried add/remove the compiz, but it did nothing as my settings were still here [21:54] oh i used envy.... but its uninstall option doesn't remove it completely [21:54] bieb as a last resort you could use the alternate cd and do a text install. but I'm not sure you want to go through that [21:54] !envy | psycholvlan [21:54] psycholvlan: envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » [21:54] dmarsa I am in the process of downloading the alternate cd [21:54] hend - 1. you need to add the lines vesafb and fbcon to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules [21:54] Do I have to add sudo before every command that needs privileges in the script, or just the first? [21:54] maximilion: sudo lets you use it without password 15 minutes after the password was entered..

Perfect :) [21:56] optional [21:56] psycholvlan: Choose Console login from session type of login screen [21:56] Hi [21:56] When I select My Ubuntu Gutsy install from the boot menu, it says "Failed to mount selected partition" even though the partition mounts fine via IFS in windows and in my Feisty install. I have made no changes to the boot options/loaders since the last successful boot of the system, which was yesterday. [21:56] dmarsa you using 7.04 or 7.10 on your HP? [21:56] psycholvlan, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop <<< stops it now if you want to turn it off full time install rcconf and use it to disable gdm fully [21:56] Whenever I log in to my Ubuntu Feisty install, it loads the desktop and promptly the display crashes and I am back at the login screen. It still does this when I use the failsafe login, extra info: running c-f and kiba-dock. When the system first boots, It takes longer to finish loading whatever causes the crash so I have had time to hit Alt+f2 and type "metacity --replace" but even loading a different wm didn't fix the problem. [21:56] 7.10 [21:56] Slart: Would mess up game saves pretty well otherwise, right? ;) [21:56] ok [21:56] danand_: aah ok, thank you! [21:56] Thanks, will try right away!

I don't really know how that works.. you'll have to try it to see what it does [21:58] ok [21:58] Could I write options | esddsp etc? [21:59] hend - 3. you also need to comment out the lines blacklist vesafb and blacklist vga16fb in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-framebuffer .... [21:59] maximilion: hmm.. I doubt that would work.. [21:59] it is finished . . . ubuntu FINALLY works on my lappy! [21:59] Or could I go "sudo esddsp sudo "? [21:59] That ATI card link tells me its useful for anything below 9500, I've got 9600...

[22:18] Whenever I log in to my Ubuntu Feisty install, it loads the desktop and promptly the display crashes and I am back at the login screen. It still does this when I use the failsafe login, extra info: running c-f and kiba-dock. When the system first boots, It takes longer to finish loading whatever causes the crash so I have had time to hit Alt+f2 and type "metacity --replace" but even loading a different wm didn't fix the problem. [22:18] When I select My Ubuntu Gutsy install from the boot menu, it says "Failed to mount selected partition" even though the partition mounts fine via IFS in windows and in my Feisty install.

[22:49] Andeh: limitation of FAT32. no workaround. [22:49] Jack_Sparrow: Though I tried just the files, they show up. mneptok: I know. [22:49] <_Oz_> is it possible to: a) use a Ubuntu PC to burn a DVD to b) a DVD burner connected to another Ubuntu PC? (they're on the same network) [22:49] Jake-GR: were are the machine names? if you are using hosts for name resolution you should have lines like "lan-ip-a machinename-a" on that file [22:49] Andeh: All sorts of things wrong with that.. :) [22:49] heyeveryone. [22:49] fesha: I had a similar problem once with vdr's epg. It went away spontaneously -- turns out the epg data contained a character on which vdr choked. [22:49] danand_, What command would save that back to a file? [22:49] bobbob1016 - cut command should be ok for that though :) [22:49] how do you open file browser as root? in kde there was a button [22:50] bobbob1016 - cat file.csv | cut [22:50] I know the limit is 4 gb. So how do I backup my files? What command to NOT copy the unused data? [22:50] acee1234, that's not a good idea. [22:50] acee1234, why do you think that you want to? [22:50] <`mojacko^> anyone can help me out? i have HP a6210la, where i can i find the drivers for ubuntu? [22:50] acee1234: sudo nautilus [22:50] Andeh: use rsync [22:50] acee1234: you can use sudo, but be very careful!! [22:50] acee1234, 'gksudo "nautilus"' if you really want to do that... [22:50] ynef: really bad idea [22:50] try tar with a split [22:50] mneptok: Um.... [22:50] PriceChild: encrypted drive [22:50] I'm having trouble installing the trial version of Parallels Workstation from add/remove - the checkbox isn't clickable. Anyone know why? I did enable the partner repository [22:50] <|Kamen|> ok pureadmin is buggier than a bait shop and just core dumped on me. next contestant for an easy to configure ftp server on ubuntu? [22:50] danand_, Oh, so it saves it to the file I opened, right? [22:50] ynef, acee1234, best to fix the real problem rather than tell people that, [22:50] Andeh: there's no real advatage to abcking up the system files themselves. unless you have a ridiculously customized system. [22:50] bobbob1016 - cat file | cut .... > newfile.txt [22:50] acee1234, why do you need sudo for that? [22:51] My bash history is very short. I set the HISTSIZE to 5000 but the problem is, that the history seems to be deleted every time I close the shell/konsole. I noticed this already with 7.10 but actually in Hardy it is the same [22:51] acee1234, There is a script to "browse as root" not sure where I got it though. [22:51] soundray: I have no idea what that means, can you explain? [22:51] Odd-rationale, best to fix the real problem rather than tell people that [22:51] Any Ideas? [22:51] mneptok: Oh screw this, I probably don't have anything important anyway [22:51] Andeh: rsync will be a pain syncing to FAT32, though [22:51] erUSUL: thats what i want to avoid, as my ips change a lot... as for dns server, i dont know if you mean something on my system or and actual server box [22:51] PriceChild: OK. [22:51] ader10, are you using ubuntu's packages or adobe's installer [22:51] PriceChild: ynef, acee1234, "best to fix the real problem rather than tell people that,"? [22:51] techII: ubuntu [22:51] i can't get mod4 to be the "Super" key [22:51] !backup [22:52] There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [22:52] acee1234, I don't see why you need to browse with root [22:52] for use with awesome [22:52] acee1234: basically, what are you trying to accomplish with your root priviledged file browser? [22:52] can anyone help me get this straightened out? [22:52] fesha: it means that the problem was a bug in the TV application, and it was triggered by a special character that was used in the epg (electronic program guide) data. [22:52] bobbob1016 - sorry about previous to last ... use cat ... etc > newfile.txt This will output the result of that command to "newfile.txt" [22:52] fesha: once that epg entry had expired, it worked again. I've no idea whether that bug was ever fixed. [22:52] danand_, So "cat file.csv | cut --delimiter=, --fields=1,4 etc > newfile.txt" [22:53] ynef: block my brother from being able to run through all my acct names/passwords kids 14 and can be quite resorcful so im trying to set everything with root only access [22:53] bobbob1016 - yes, thats it :) [22:53] acee1234: then stop right there, because a resourceful kid will get around that easily [22:53] ynef: thats ontop od a triple DES-twofish encryption [22:54] anyone on getting mod4 to be the super key in awesome? [22:54] acee1234, non-root users only have access to /home/username, and /tmp [22:54] acee1234: forget it -- if he's got console access, he'll get in and read your data somehow. Locks help, and threats of violence do too, in some cases ;) [22:54] acee1234, chmod your data 770 perhaps? [22:54] soundray: Okay, Well I am pretty sure that isnt an issue with MythTV [22:55] acee1234, *don't* do the entire filesystem 770... just data you want only your user to access. [22:55] PriceChild: whats that [22:55] Jake-GR: if ip's change maybe your router can assing and resolve names as well as ips dunno [22:55] ader10, i would look at "dpkg-reconfigure flashplugin-nonfree" (as root) if you have "flashplugin-nonfree" installed [22:55] !chmod [22:55] An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview [22:55] acee1234, ^ [22:55] PriceChild: chmod like truecrypt? [22:55] not at all [22:55] PriceChild: ah [22:55] is there a movie channel around here? [22:55] danand_, Thanks, trying that now [22:55] <_Oz_> is it possible to: a) use a Ubuntu PC to burn a DVD to b) a DVD burner connected to another Ubuntu PC? (they're on the same network) [22:55] !piracy | whos2know [22:55] whos2know: 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 [22:55] _Oz_, the first is possible otb [22:56] soundray: most people keep trying to tell me it is a problem with ATI but I got my ATI card to work with my previous install on this system and now guides arent working [22:56] acee1234: but there's no real reason to have it 770 -- 700 is even more restricting (the second number is your group's rights) [22:56] <_Oz_> how so? [22:56] <_Oz_> just share the dvd burner? [22:56] techII: Doesn't work [22:56] fesha: what do you mean by guides? [22:56] can I virtualise an existing windows install in ubuntu? [22:56] _Oz_, I guess you could ssh in or vnc or something. [22:56] Paddy_EIRE, "yes". [22:57] soundray: My TV guide [22:57] <_Oz_> pricechild: that's no good, because the file I want to burn (a large file, ie a movie) is on the machine and I don't want to first copy it to the machine with the burner, I just want to burn right to the network burner [22:57] allo [22:57] ader10, i would read up on "nspluginwrapper" then, since you might have to install it manually [22:57] i have to go [22:57] ... [22:57] PriceChild keep in mind that win was installed normally on its own partition ntfs... Is it still possible? [22:57] jay[PLUS]: op me plz? [22:57] so much for it 'just working' [22:57] fesha: epg? [22:57] <_Oz_> copying 4gb over the network takes longer than I want [22:57] <_Oz_> so I want to skip that step [22:58] Flare183: can't talk in #jay [22:58] danand_, Thanks, that worked. Surprisingly fast too, I thought I'd have a second or two to wait, since it is a few thousand lines, but I underestimated my computer. [22:58] il ya quelqun ici [22:58] ynef: ok i think that and a nice modified disposable camera aka taser with one lead to the metal arm rest and the other as the shell of the computer will work at least once, ya for EE degree [22:58] _Oz_, not you could share it across samba [22:58] soundray: umm yes [22:58] _Oz_, of nfs [22:58] Thanks to you too soundray.

[22:58] d'accord [22:58] in linux [22:58] Hi. I rebooted into the local linux and am trying to copy the home folder from here, except now it tells me I don't have permission to create files on the external hard disk (vfat). It worked two minutes ago on live cd. what's up? [22:58] bobbob1016 - glad to help [22:58] je m'excuse [22:59] I fixed it on my own [22:59] I am awesome [22:59] haha [22:59] pas de problems montevina?

[22:59] danand_, I still have to do the C# code behind it though... that's the fun part... [22:59] fesha: and your TV guide is *not* part of mythtv? [22:59] merci for the help [22:59] Vovk: I know. I forgot I needed root priveleges to access the external hard drive. Can I make it so I don't need them? [23:00] bobbob1016 - C# - oh oh !! :) [23:00] Andeh: you could change the permissions of the file to be owned by you instead of root, but it's not encouraged [23:00] soundray: Yes it is [23:01] <`mojacko^> :( [23:01] fesha: so why are you saying it's not a problem with mythtv? [23:01] hi... I have a question, is it possible to run multiple xserver at the same time, I need one for my tv-out, and if its possible, where can I found a guide for this [23:01] Andeh: running alot of things as the administrative user is very unsafe - even windows is heading in the right direction with their vista user confirmation boxes [23:01] Vovk: hmmm. Apparently I dont need root to edit the external hard disk, but even WHEN using root, it still gives me errors opening the files in my home folder? [23:01] Andeh: hmm... how are you getting root permissions? [23:02] Vovk: sudo [23:02] soundray: It is a problem with the ATI drivers [23:02] Vovk: Maybe they're in use? I tried a while ago on livecd to back them up but they didnt even show up. Just empty directories in my home folder... [23:02] Andeh: are you editing files in THE home folder or your home folder [23:02] !tvout > vix, please read the private message from ubotu [23:02] Vovk: I just selected my home folder to copy [23:03] Vovk: The files ARE copying but it often comes accross one it can't open [23:03] Andeh: first of all... what exactly are you doing? copying a home folder to an external hard drive? [23:03] world>galaxy>universe>multiverse>___ whats next? [23:03] vix: you may also have to look at gdm configuration -- you can set multiple X instances in there. [23:03] Vovk: yes. [23:03] multidimensions [23:03] DareDevill: heaven ? [23:03] Andeh: try "gksudo nautilus" this should open up a root folder, try copying from there [23:03] Vovk: Exactly what I did, lol [23:03] lolz [23:04] DareDevill: tutrles, all the way down [23:04] cafuego: lol [23:04] Andeh: hmm... check the permissions of the files you're copying [23:04] Andeh: who owns them? [23:05] tacone technically speaking.. what is it [23:05] cafuego [23:05] Andeh: you've done sudo cp /home/YOURUSERNAME /yourfile/destination/goes/here [23:05] Andeh: right? [23:05] any1 know terminal command to install ubuntu from livecd? [23:05] soundray, okay. cause im having an ati card and been trying that guide already. [23:05] Vovk: Never mind, the only things that didn't copy were random xml files I wont need anyway [23:05] Vovk: I have backed up what I need now [23:06] hm [23:06] Andeh: just because I''m curious, who owned those files? [23:06] um [23:06] let me have a look [23:06] DareDevill: explain your question in #ubuntu-offtopic [23:06] ive had a similar problem [23:06] i just want to see if yours is the same [23:06] tacone k [23:06] Kibbles_: ubiquity [23:07] hi there [23:07] sheen: hello [23:07] soundray - gdm has crashed, cant use ubiquity? [23:08] Kibbles_: download and burn the ubuntu alternate cd [23:08] Vovk: darn, the dialog box is too small to see the full path. Something with Projects in it anyway [23:08] Vovk: link? [23:08] can any help me conection remote to xp, when i try to connect using gnome-rpd, remotedesktop client, terminal server its close and nothing happend [23:08] Andeh: whatever :) [23:08] Kibbles_: hold on, ill get it [23:08] Vovk: Oh, i think I know [23:08] Kibbles_: boot in Safe Graphics mode -- or follow Vovk's advice [23:08] i forgot my password what should i do ? [23:08] !alternate | Kibbles_, Vovk [23:08] Kibbles_, Vovk: The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode installation CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD. It can also be used as an upgrade CD. - See also !minimal [23:08] how should i change the password [23:08] Vovk: The only Projects folder I know is in my WINE dir [23:09] Probably my music software lol [23:09] scjp: boot in recovery mode [23:09] Is there any parameter for dvd player ? Since I'm on ubuntu, my 2 dvd players does not work very well.

Any help is greatly appreciated. I've spent 3 hours on this without success. [23:10] ader10: what have you tried? [23:10] oh [23:10] scjp: ask freenode staff to reset it. They're usually in #freenode [23:10] soundray: that's a very broad question and would take a while to answer. [23:10] soundray: Most notably, "sudo aptitude install flashplugin-nonfree" does NOT work [23:10] at all [23:10] hi, I'd like to recommend Ubuntu to a friend ... what happened to the LiveCD? can he still download a LiveCD to try it out without installing? (I'm a Gentoo guy myself and don't have experience with Ubuntu) [23:11] LordPants: yes, there is a live CD [23:11] !flashissue | ader10, I take it you've considered this: [23:11] ader10, I take it you've considered this:: 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 » [23:11] LordPants: btw... can you help me to install gentoo? :D (we can meet on another channel if need be) [23:11] Does anyone happen to know if there is a channel for help with installation of xsys (xchat plugin) on this network? [23:11] Vovk, sure :) .... pick a channel, create one if you want [23:11] how can i copy an image from my desktop to my a cd in the cd drive with the terminal [23:12] LordPants: IRC n00b, i dunno how to make one, i only come to this channel to help ubuntu people :) [23:12] Vovk, just /join one that doesn't exist yet, it will be created automatically [23:13] #gentoo already exists for gentoo support [23:13] I doubt they would appreciate a person getting alot of help in gentoo installation though [23:13] LordPants - is that why I was the only person on #uvuntu?? [23:13] how can i copy an image from my desktop to my a cd in the cd drive with the terminal [23:13] danand_, that's probably why :) [23:13] how do you get color in xchat [23:13] LordPants: can you join /helpthegentoo ? [23:14] pingu, you should clarify if you want to copy an image or burn an image.. 2 different things.. [23:14] @rainbow jack-desktop you have it [23:14] hmm... odd [23:14] Vovk, I'm in #helpthegentoo [23:14] jack-desktop you have it [23:14] meh [23:14] ader10: how does it fail? [23:14] scunizi what is the difference [23:14] magnetron, i have what [23:14] Hey, seeing as the one of the only things that won't work perfectly in Ubuntu x64 is Flash, and seeing as flash is screwed up now anyway, I might as well get x64 bit? [23:15] soundray: The plugin just doesn't load at all, in firefox the "Install Missing Plugins" thing comes up, and I select the Adobe Flash Player, and it says flashplayer-nonfree is installed. I reinstall it and remove it etc but nothing changes. [23:15] scunizi what is the difference [23:15] pingu, an image is usually an iso file, like an install cd. copying is mearly creating a data cd of the file. the file is there but can't be booted to. [23:16] scunizi: ok i want to copy/burn the image to a cd so i can take it to another computer to print it off [23:16] Scunizi: We should put that on the front page of the site, seeing as so many people just copy the iso file directly to cd :) [23:17] pingu, so is it an iso image or an image like "picture"? [23:17] LOL [23:17] Hi! Which packet do I need for being able to format a partition to NTFS from gparted? [23:17] Anyone know of a way to scale down the resolution? ie, run 1280x976 on a screen thats actually 800x480? [23:17] ader10: can you do a 'sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-nonfree' and pastebin the output [23:17] pingu: get a USB stick then :P [23:18] soundray: alright [23:18] pingu: unless you're trying to transfer a 700 mb bitmap [23:18] scunizi: picture, what is the difference can you explain a little bit more [23:18] hey, how come Ubuntu boots up in less than ten seconds? [23:18] it didn't use to [23:19] !virtualization [23:19] There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications [23:19] !xen [23:19] XEN is a virtual machine monitor for x86 that supports execution of multiple guest operating systems with unprecedented levels of performance and resource isolation. Information on installing it for Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xen [23:19] !zen [23:19] Sorry, I don't know anything about zen - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [23:19] !creative [23:19] Sorry, I don't know anything about creative - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [23:19] andeh: what is a bit map [23:19] pingu, gotta run.. but you want to do an command line data burn. An image is like downloading the ubuntu install iso. Ask again for the channel "command line data burn" is the key phrase. [23:20] please stop it with the bot [23:20] pingu: a really horrible file format I hope you'll NEVER ever use! [23:20] :P [23:20] http://pastebin.com/m60d117c9 [23:20] soundray: http://pastebin.com/m60d117c9 [23:20] andeh: i have never even heard of it [23:20] pingu - disk "image" simply means a direct copy of a disk - bit like a photo-copy is a direct copy of a page [23:20] !botabuse | thug_life [23:20] thug_life: Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (type also /msg ubotu Bot). Don't use commands in the public channels if you don't know if they really exist. Also avoid adding joke/useless factoids. [23:20] soundray: but it still does not work. [23:21] i have a console MSN Client that i'd like to be able to control via writing to a fifo, is there some tool that can do that with me having to modify the app to read the fifo instead of stdin? [23:21] pingu: Great :D Oh, and if you're just trying to burn photos to CD, you don't have to worry about ISO images [23:21] pingu - a bit map is a type of image file like a jpeg [23:21] I'm trying to follow this instruction from an installation guide, but i'm not sure where it means by the firmware directory: "Unzip, then copy the following files to the firmware directory" [23:21] meh, and they call THIS dsl! [23:22] 300 kb/s :( [23:22] it won't be done for another half hour [23:22] Andeh: lol. /me has 15mbps down. [23:22] ader10: interesting -- it reports success. That's not what I get here. Never mind... does it show in the plugin list when you enter "about:plugins" as the URL in firefox? [23:22] ffm: you must live in sweden or something then :D [23:22] Is there anyway i can make a command to shred when i right click a file ???? [23:22] soundray: not at all [23:22] good evening [23:23] andeh: ok so i dont have to worry about the iso images, it still wont let me burn to the cd it says "Error while copying to "/media/cdrom0" and on the next line it has "You do not have permissions to write to this folder." [23:23] j_ - depending on the type of filesystem your using shred may not work anyway [23:23] When I select My Ubuntu Gutsy install from the boot menu, it says "Failed to mount selected partition" even though the partition mounts fine via IFS in windows and in my Feisty install. I have made no changes to the boot options/loaders since the last successful boot of the system, which was yesterday. [23:23] hi i've recently encountered a problem where my sound is way too low, example: even if i have my logitech speakers turns all the way up, and master volume and PCM toggled to it's max, the sound is only barely loud enough to hear whilst sitting a few feet from the speakers, any ideas why this suddenly happened? it wasn't always like this [23:23] Whenever I log in to my Ubuntu Feisty install, it loads the desktop and promptly the display crashes and I am back at the login screen. It still does this when I use the failsafe login, extra info: running c-f and kiba-dock. When the system first boots, It takes longer to finish loading whatever causes the crash so I have had time to hit Alt+f2 and type "metacity --replace" but even loading a different wm didn't fix the problem. [23:24] danand_ im using ntfs and ext3 for my harddrives. [23:24] j_ - ie shred does not work on ext3 (or any journalled) filesystem [23:24] does anyone know the path to the firmware directory in gutsy? [23:24] danand_ so what do you recommend???? [23:24] <_Oz_> I installed vista on an old wiped PC for the hell of it. [23:24] <_Oz_> It sucks. [23:24] ader10: can you stop firefox (killall firefox-bin until it reports "no process killed"), then start firefox and check again [23:24] pingu: when you put the CD in you should get a box asking you what to do with it, right? choose Burn Data CD [23:24] mik3, are any of the other output settings set low? [23:24] <_Oz_> Ubuntu's going on it... any other OS' I should play with? I thought about trying puppy linux [23:24] _Oz_: yes it sux man.... [23:24] i have this big problem. i raised my NTFS hard disk capacity with acronis partition manager..... restarted. but now ubuntu can't detect that HD anymore. [23:24] _Oz_: Puppy is great :D [23:24] how could i tell if when i loaded ubuntu onto my laptop if i used the whole hard drive or not? [23:25] demon_spork : no, nothing in the gnome volume manager or speakers at least [23:25] _Oz_: ubuntu is a lot better than Vista... [23:25] soundray: yes, I know, it's still not showing up. [23:25] j_ - check the man page of shred - it should give you more info there. As for recommedations - not sure :( - encryption maybe? [23:25] _Oz_: You are drifting offtopic again... [23:25] _Oz_: Puppy is only actually useful if you have a $20 pc, though :) [23:25] <_Oz_> indiadev: I agree 1000% [23:25] mik3, open up a terminal and type "alsamixer" and hit enter [23:25] <_Oz_> jack: it seems topical. [23:25] how could i tell if when i loaded ubuntu onto my laptop if i used the whole hard drive or not? [23:25] Andeh: out of DC. [23:25] <_Oz_> just considering playing with another OS on one of these other computers. [23:25] <_Oz_> I want to create a fileserver running a super lightweight OS. === tyczek_ is now known as Tyczek [23:25] ader10: do you know where libflashplayer.so went? If not, do a 'sudo updatedb ; locate libflashplayer.so' (this can take a while) [23:26] demon_spork : master and pcm are at their peek [23:26] mik3, what about headphones? [23:26] khaotik - either use the df -h command in a terminal or start the GUI tool gparted [23:26] _Oz_: come join us in #puppylinux :D === jplichta is now known as hardcoded [23:26] _Oz_: than y did u install Vista.... [23:26] soundray: can I paste it to you in a /msg [23:26] mik3, sometimes that is what the main speakers are assigned to [23:26] Does anyone know of a way to use a command to indicate the speed of my network connection? [23:26] demon_spork : headphone is maxed [23:27] <_Oz_> india: so I know something about it. but right now all I know is that it sucks. [23:27] no idea anyone? so scared i could lose all my data [23:27] ader10: okay then [23:27] <_Oz_> ubuntu would be killing it on this old machine [23:27] : | [23:27] lol [23:27] _Oz_: yes... [23:27] _Oz_: How much you know about linux? [23:27] _Oz_: if you like the setup of ubuntu but want a really light version you can install the server version or I would suggest a base debian install and only put on what you need, for a file server you don't need X, gnome, kde, etc [23:27] mik3, what type of speakers are you using again? [23:27] _Oz_: so what's ur machine configuration.... [23:27] _Oz_: Puppy is pretty awesome until something goes wrong :) [23:27] danand_what happens when "sudo rm -rf /" [23:28] pingu: places cd/dvd creator drag and drop your files etc then file write to disk [23:28] demon_spork : they're a logitech set with a sub woofer, it's not the speakers i tested the problem with another set of speakers and a pair of headphones [23:28] j_: it deletes everything on the root partition [23:28] hmm... is command ctrl + prscreen +b for restart system? [23:29] Starnestommy ouch. [23:29] Tyczek: only if the system isn't responding to anything else, otherwise, use shutdown -r now [23:29] gah this is annoying [23:29] mik3, does the set have an ipod dock? [23:29] Starnestommy, well... it is not working for me ;/ [23:30] okay it says volume size 142 GB. i should have 160GB HD. did i not format it properly when i loaded ubuntu??? [23:30] demon: no, the speakers are fine, like i said i've tested it with other speakers [23:30] System wasn't responding, but I wasn't able to use it... [23:30] mik3, We just gave one to my grandma for christmas :) [23:30] j_ - not a good idea - you can do _alot_ of damage with a mis-typed sudo rm -rf !!! ie delete system files.... but sudo rm -rf will be no more useful in terms of security than a normal user running that command [23:30] khaotik: 160gb = about 140ish in real gb [23:30] <_Oz_> base debian install, eh? [23:30] i added some GBs to my data partition with acronis partition manager, and now ubuntu does not detect the partition anymore. is it normal? [23:30] <_Oz_> no GUI? [23:31] should i have defragmented my hard drive before i loaded ubuntu [23:31] mik3, I don't know what else could be wrong, it is perfectly possible that the sound card could be going out, but try "alsamixer -V" and see if anything is turned down [23:31] khaotik: no, it has to do with how hard disk manufacturers report GB and how a computer reports GB [23:31] I wonder what the record users for this channel has been [23:32] over 1500 probaly [23:32] thanks [23:32] khaotik - check with GUI tool System -> Admin -> partition tool [23:32] What is Ubuntu? [23:33] Does anyone know of a way to use a command to indicate the speed of my network connection? [23:33] demon_spork: there is a new record on every release day for sure [23:33] travisat, the hd manufacurer counts the number of bits their disk has on the physical surface, but the computer only counts the bits that are used for actual data, the difference lies where quite a large number of bits are taken up for formatting markings [23:33] I just joined because Charitwo told me there was a lot of people here. And ... wow. [23:33] Whenever I log in to my Ubuntu Feisty install, it loads the desktop and promptly the display crashes and I am back at the login screen. It still does this when I use the failsafe login, extra info: running c-f and kiba-dock. When the system first boots, It takes longer to finish loading whatever causes the crash so I have had time to hit Alt+f2 and type "metacity --replace" but even loading a different wm didn't fix the problem. [23:33] CBrannan: it's a support channel for the ubuntu linux distribution [23:33] When I select My Ubuntu Gutsy install from the boot menu, it says "Failed to mount selected partition" even though the partition mounts fine via IFS in windows and in my Feisty install. I have made no changes to the boot options/loaders since the last successful boot of the system, which was yesterday. [23:33] This is serious, I can't get into either of my ubuntu installs!! fix one of my problems please so I can break this bad habit called windows [23:34] demon_spork: also the manufacturers cound MB as 1000 kb instead of 1024 kb or GB as 1000 MB instead of 1024 MB etc [23:34] CBrannan, biggest channel on freenode i think. (also what Starnestommy said) [23:34] Oh thanks guys. === Aeon is now known as Saelynh [23:34] llol [23:35] ugh, ubuntu.iso 20 minutes left [23:35] it'll be 1 am by then [23:35] i'll go to sleep lol [23:35] Andeh: where are you dl'ing from? [23:35] DjViper: University of Utrecht or something. It's going at my top speed anyway :P [23:35] 320 kb/s lol [23:36] ah ok hehe === hardcoded is now known as jplichta [23:36] I love how you can install XAMPP on your USB stick and literally take your webserver with you lol [23:36] 320 kb/s =D [23:37] Andeh: 2mbps lol [23:37] what's a good dynamic DNS service? [23:37] djr: yup. I'll get a gigabit connection by the time I can afford one itll be cheaper anyway lol [23:37] hmm [23:37] how come Ubuntu only takes 10 seconds to boot? [23:37] I have 12Mbit now, will probably get 100Mbit by this years end [23:37] windows takes like 2 minutes lol [23:37] ConstyXIV: I've used ipupdater.com before, but I didn't really like it that much, there sight is really slow, but the dns service was fine [23:38] ConstyXIV: dyndns isn't bad and works with the ez-ipupdate package in linux [23:38] ConstyXIV, DynDNS [23:38] :D [23:38] bittorrent, Andeh! [23:38] did anyone answer my question? [23:38] ethan961: Lol [23:38] yeah, people should give more respect to the thing that uses 90% of our internets :D [23:39] and 96% at night :) [23:39] haha [23:39] hm [23:39] :P [23:39] demonsport: just out out of curiosity, what kind of video card do you have? [23:39] anybody any idea why gstreamer-editor is not available in gutsy anymore? is version 0.8 not compatible with gstreamer-0.10 anymore? [23:39] I have the Ubuntu Live CD...how do I install it? [23:39] I get ~ 500kbps dl'ing ubuntu iso via bt... [23:39] imaginativeone: click on the install icon on the desktop... [23:40] click the install icon after you boot it [23:40] I'm not able to use WPA 1/2 or even WEP. Please help me [23:40] Hi all. My friend took my advice and installed ubuntu on his pc. Unfortunately, he has 1gb of ram but made the swap file 512. Can I use gparted to shrink the ubuntu partition and increase the size of swap partition (btw this is all in an extended partition) [23:41] imaginativeone: Have you run it yet. [23:41] meh. 70% this sucks. lol. i'm going to sleep [23:41] see ya :D [23:41] later [23:41] Dante124: HE would need to boot the livecd umount the partition do make the changes [23:42] okay. I could also boot into puppy linux off livecd and then run gparted to do that right? [23:42] yep [23:43] Dante124: orgparted live or.. well you get the idea [23:43] I have done that before on another pc. What size partition do you recommend if he has 1gb of ram? [23:43] Jack_Sparrow: do you know of a way to kick-start the installation of a livecd without gdm? [23:43] Andeh: I'm on 100 mbit :> [23:44] Dante124: 2xRAM [23:44] (that's what the manual says) [23:44] I am trying to enable my nvidia driver through the restricted drivers manager [23:44] can anyone help me set up my laptop to connect to an external projector, this is for work, and If I can't get this to work on ubuntu I am going to have to put XP back on it [23:44] so 2gb then ought to do it fine [23:44] but it says that the software source is unavailbile [23:44] what does this mean? and what do I do? [23:44] Dante124: 2x1024=2048 [23:44] LCD projector jjgalvez [23:45] Kibbles_: Not sure what you mean [23:45] anyway to set the mtime on file B to be the same as file A ? [23:45] Dante124 yes its an LCD projector [23:45] Jack_Sparrow: join #jay[PLUS] for a sec [23:45] actually [23:45] are there any programs for recovering files ? [23:45] it says the software source is not enabled === tuna-fish is now known as tuna [23:46] how do i enable a software source? [23:46] so i can get the driver [23:46] so jjgalvez...you hook up the lcd to computer video cable and what happens? [23:47] when updated kernels will be available (VMSPLICE issue) ? [23:47] My experience with LCD projectors and computers has been to always have the LCD projector ON ..BEFORE you turn on the computer. [23:47] doubt it [23:47] Silvy: I'm wondering about that too [23:48] j_: The 'tct' package says in includes 'unrm'. Finding data in removed files is very dependent on file system details. [23:48] Realtek ALC662 need help in installing its sound drivers on ubunut 7.10 [23:48] jjgalvez do you have the LCD turned on before you boot up the computer? [23:48] Dante124, once my desktop comes up essentually nothing, if I reboot and hit fn-f8 then I can get the display on either my laptop or the projector, but again once the desktop comes it it won't go on the projector any longer [23:48] is there an easy way of directing a command-line apps progress output into a progress bar thingy? in fact... is it possible to make progress bars easily sort of like making message boxes with x/gmessage? [23:48] What brand of LCD projector? [23:48] Kibbles_: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf reduce the color depth and restart I cant send to you in that channel [23:48] Dante124, InFocus [23:48] Jack_Sparrow: lol, dammit, sorry [23:48] I'm not able to use WPA 1/2 or even WEP. Please help me [23:49] Jack_Sparrow: flare183 screwed around with settings [23:49] this might be more of a programming question, but can I send text from one terminal or file to an open terminal? [23:49] \Realtek ALC662 need help in installing its sound drivers on ubunut 7.10 [23:49] Sometimes the resolution you have your computer set to (ie the desktop) can cause weird things to happen. Have you tried 800 x 600? What is the default resolution of your laptop monitor? [23:49] Leechzilla, which wifi card? [23:49] np [23:49] i have no sound on my ubuntu system [23:49] Silvy: Intel iwl4965 [23:49] Andeh: 00:51:13 (10.84 MB/s) - `debian-40r2-i386-CD-1.iso' saved [673845248/673845248] ;) [23:49] Jack_Sparrow: how do you figure that would help? [23:50] jjgalvez what is the default resolution of your monitor/desktop [23:50] you want the intel hd thing linabhi [23:50] yeah [23:50] iirc [23:50] Dante124, 1680x1050 [23:50] I have the string, just want to send it to the terminal [23:50] Leechzilla, its found? a lil suggestion - try ndiswrapper and windows drivers, mostly they work better [23:50] aaand is this the right place for such questions? (is there an easy way of directing a command-line apps progress output into a progress bar thingy? in fact... is it possible to make progress bars easily sort of like making message boxes with x/gmessage?) [23:50] Kibbles_: I have seen that happen once before.. that got me back in. [23:50] can u help jet [23:50] Silvy: The card works fine without WiFi. It also detects the SSID for encrypted networks.. But I can't connect [23:50] Jack_Sparrow: note that he didn't have it installed - it was off livecd. restart would kill the change to xorg.conf [23:51] okay, when i try to install ubuntu 7.10 with the option "acpi=off" (the only way the installer wont hang at Scanning CD-ROM) it gets to installing the base system and after findutils it gives a Debootstrap warning [23:51] Jack_Sparrow: or did you mean ctl alt bckspc [23:51] touch B -r A is the command for the sake of the logs [23:51] Silvy: The card works fine without encryption. It also detects the SSID for encrypted networks.. But I can't connect [23:51] Dante124, I just dropped it to 1024x768 and that does not work either [23:51] Kibbles_: /j #Voyager [23:51] stroyan i can't find stroyan [23:51] so my question is does anyone know what i could do? [23:51] \Realtek ALC662 need help in installing its sound drivers on ubunut 7.10 [23:51] jjgalvez I would try lowering the resolution to say 1024 x 768 or something and seeing if that makes a difference....also do you have the manual for the InFocus lcd projector? I'd give it a read and see if there is a troubleshooting guide [23:52] Was the LCD projector turned On BEFORE you booted the computer [23:52] j_: tct is in universe/admin . I just installed it. The unrm in tct 'The Coroner's Toolkit' only claims to know ext2. That might with unmounted ext3. [23:52] Dante124, yes it was on before I turned on the computer, and I just tried lowing the resolution without resutls [23:53] did you try 800 x 600? [23:53] Also what graphics card do you have? [23:54] Dante124, I'll try that now, and its an Nvidia 8600 [23:54] j_: I should warn you that the odds of recovering a removed file are really not good. [23:54] can someone help? every time I try to click 'extra' in the visual effects, it always says that the composite extension is not available. [23:54] stroyan so tct has unrm components?? [23:55] whiter: acpi=off should be avoided. Have you tried pci=noacpi instead? [23:55] Anizuka,you have to install AIGLX and insert Option "Composite" into xorg.conf [23:55] j_: tct does have an unrm command for ext2 filesystem. But I have never needed to try it out. (Backups work much better.) [23:55] soundray, ill try it right now [23:55] Dante124, nope that did not work either (800x600) [23:55] Anizuka - more info can be found in ubuntu help if you look for compiz install guide [23:56] <|WolF|> Question: Is there any DivX player for ubuntu? [23:56] jjgalvez see if this helps at all http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=38632 [23:56] Silvy, thanks [23:56] Do I need to install something to make WPA work? My card is working fine without encryption [23:56] !divx > |WolF|, please read ubotu's private message [23:56] stroyan how do i use this tct? [23:56] !wpa [23:56] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [23:56] Leechzilla, works fine on Gutsy, WPA depends on wpa_supplicant package [23:56] jjgalvez sorry, that has little info in it. Tell me the model number for your Infocus lcd projector [23:57] j_: sudo apt-get install tct; man unrm [23:57] Silv: I'm using gutsy but can't connect to encrypted networks.. [23:57] soundray, it stops at Scanning CD-ROM 7% with that option [23:57] Dante124, its an LP820 [23:58] whiter: okay, sorry, I don't think I'll be able to help then [23:59] j_: Looking at tct, it probably is not the tool you are hoping for. See http://www.fish2.com/tct/FAQ.html#delete for a discussion. [23:59] Okay. So I have two separate problems people. I would appreciate any and all help on the matter. Problem 1: I am unable to install the restricted drivers for my ATI 2900 PRO video card, and would really like to install it. Problem 2: I saved my sister's laptop from Vista, installed Ubuntu, and her touch pad isn't working. It's a Dell Inspiron 1501. I've tried forums, many, many guides, googling it, etc. So this is my last resort. Anyo [23:59] !bootoptions > whiter, here's somewhere to look for further hints (private message) [23:59] hi [23:59] oksu
