[00:38] owner: find /root/ -iname '*kmenu*' === magical_trevsky is now known as magical [00:38] Huffalump: That should work to install an FTP client, ncftp [00:38] the answer was apt-get install ftp [00:38] thank you [00:38] k [00:38] AntiUSA: technically could go anywhere, but this is the conventional place [00:38] Hey, where is the ubuntu suspend quirks file located [00:38] Actually icanhasadmin, don't alter your main grub.conf if you have any of the restricted drivers running for you video card or you will muck up your xwindows/gnome startup [00:38] k, done [00:38] like chvt, restore vesa bios, etc [00:39] Try running with acpi=off when booting the Ubuntu live/install disc [00:39] prince_jammys: now what> [00:39] if you get sound like that, then your issue is the dsdt file [00:39] ? [00:39] sami that find thing didn't work [00:39] elda, i did [00:39] no sound [00:39] so my problem isn't dsdt [00:39] i don't know if that's good or not :P [00:40] AntiUSA: now do whatever you did to create that launcher, replacing the command with the full path of the executable [00:40] still can't find the root's kmenu conf [00:40] Maybe the root has none [00:40] AntiUSA: you had made a launcher right? [00:40] heyyao [00:40] in Edit Menu of the application menu? [00:40] no I added a shortcut in the application menu [00:40] i also tried the chmod command you told me [00:41] AntiUSA: do it in Edit Menu or whatever its called [00:41] hello to see a list of chanels how to? [00:41] there [00:41] I just switched users and added kmenu to the root [00:41] owner: updatedb; locate kmenu then [00:41] Where is the ubuntu sleep quirks configuration file? [00:41] Hey, how do I turn colours on in vi? [00:42] anyone have any idea? [00:42] icanhasadmin: and you still got no sound? [00:42] there sami it's doing something [00:42] ciao [00:42] sorry for see the list of chanels what can do? [00:42] If so, you got lucky-ish and it is most likely that you got the wrong alsa drivers [00:42] there is anyone that speak italian that can help me [00:43] What is your lappy model again?

[00:44] correct [00:44] and it worked if I launch from Nautilus [00:45] a105-s2011 [00:45] AntiUSA: you mean when you double click the file?\ [00:45] Uh sami [00:45] yep [00:45] I did that but it didn't tell me where the file was in root [00:45] ? [00:45] only in owner [00:45] so I'm still lost [00:45] sudo locate kmenu [00:45] I once installed a package from a .deb file [00:45] how can I remove that installation? [00:46] AntiUSA: i'm stuck :) [00:46] Hello ubuntu users [00:46] Marbug: sudo apt-get remove [00:46] Marbug: just like always [00:46] sami I'm loged in as root [00:46] :( [00:46] Marbug: or use synaptic [00:46] k [00:46] Let me switch users again [00:46] just for the fun of it [00:47] damn [00:47] :( [00:47] owner: then there are no files called anything with *kmenu* inside /root [00:47] how can i backup files in ubuntu? [00:47] whats up fellow 'nixers? === dholbert_ is now known as dholbert [00:48] I am reading this page that tells you how to disable virtual terminals to save memory. it says to edit /etc/inittab but I see no such file. [00:48] Elda: i'm trying something, about to reboot, brb [00:48] peter121: you have a few options, are you trying to do mass backup or individual files? incremental backup or archive? [00:48] individual [00:48] how ya use sh properly? [00:48] kk [00:48] I am new to ubuntu [00:48] sami you are right [00:48] peter121: you could just copy them and save with ~ after the extension. are you wanting them compressed to save space? [00:48] I went back into root [00:49] Welcome to the community peter121 :D [00:49] and found that it does not save it's menu configuration there [00:49] no [00:49] * TigerTails growls at ubuntu.. [00:49] even though the directory is there [00:49] * TrustNoOne growls like a Tiger [00:49] Ubuntu like any other linux (in my opinion at least >.>) can be quite scary to use at first lol [00:49] AntiUSA: when you do it from terminal, does it open a new window? [00:49] peter121: are you familiar with the command line (terminal) yet? [00:49] yea its much different from windows or mac [00:49] I accidently removed the 2 monitors from System Guard (the thing you can put in you're systembar) how can I get them back those profiles? [00:49] Elda, any OS to use at first is scary (even vista) [00:49] Learning to use it I broke my ubuntu install about 6 times in the first day [00:49] I installed ubuntu earlier today, worked fine, impressed with it, etc.. But i rebooted, and now its on 640 resolution, and the charsets are a little dodgy >.< [00:49] True [00:50] Well I think I'm going to give up unless someone else knows what I should look for [00:50] But I have to say that Ubuntu is the first OS I've broken so fast xD [00:50] owner: It might use some kind of universal config. Something like /etc/kde/blabla.kmenu if there are any. [00:50] Elda, although you can't really "break" the installs of windows as easily as linux [00:50] yeah, ive managed to break ubuntu too, its not wooorkiiing [00:50] That being because it allows you to do WHATEVER you want lol [00:50] peter121: well, if it makes you feel better there are methods similar to mac and windows if you like. in fact, there are a couple of programs akin to mac's time machine [00:50] yeah i know [00:50] AntiUSA: i have an idea ... try in the launcher this for "command":: gnome-open /full/path/to/executable [00:50] its as easy as sudo [00:51] zomg brain freeze [00:51] xD [00:51] Sudo is evil, in that it makes it so easy lol [00:51] Help - Attempting to install my sierra wireless 881 aircard and can't get it loaded. Followed sierra's instructions and I am failing to succeed.

[00:52] then you did something [00:52] rebooting shouldnt cause everything to break >.< [00:52] I am reading this page that tells you how to disable virtual terminals to save memory. it says to edit /etc/inittab but I see no such file. [00:53] peter121: yes, no? anyways, if iust need to do a simple back up, i usually just use a cp command and save with ~ file name. there are scripts for more complicated backup procedures though [00:53] nothing happens with that in the Command line [00:53] is there a simple way to .. kill everything?

[00:54] no dice prince_jammys, nothing launch when I add that [00:54] what was it supposed to do :|? [00:54] oh yeah [00:55] TigerTails: where are you coming from? what distro/ os? [00:55] TrustNoOne, I have sound when I put my headphones on but that's only that [00:55] disableing the 6 terminals just leaving 2 [00:55] TigerTails: restart your graphics system [00:55] !sound | southafrikanse [00:55] southafrikanse: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

[00:55] TigerTails: i was just asking to get an idea of what paradigms you're used to [00:56] Rael: unless you have a computer from the 80s, that hack is a waste [00:56] need some help with my display drivers, my system is running slow, but just two days ago is was running perfectly fine, I think updates cause it' [00:56] TrustNoOne, i love you [00:56] Hello.

[00:58] it went all the way to 1440x900 last time -_- [00:58] TigerT-Ubuntu: what video card type? you are currently in low graphics mode, which is a failsafe [00:58] AntiUSA: mmm well i'll let you know if i come up with something.. you should repost (update) your question ... post the ELF executable stuff so people can see what file it is. mention that it works from terminal and all that [00:58] video card 'type'? [00:58] what card? [00:59] is it possible to install ubuntu server on 4g flash drive? Need it for experiments. [00:59] some old nvidia FX, dont know specificaly [00:59] simgislab: should be.

[00:59] TigerT-Ubuntu: you can try dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg from terminal [01:00] TigerT-Ubuntu: sudo before that command [01:00] its kinda hard to remember that.. [01:00] you can use defaults for most things, you should probably select the nv driver [01:01] EnvoyRising: i didn't really work with linux, wanna start with something...can you suggest something? [01:01] Rael: basically people are blogging to make some bucks from advertising, and they have to have some kind of content, so some of their tweaks are pretty useless, and sometimes even dangerous [01:01] any chance you could repeat the command? [01:01] TigerT-Ubuntu: you could try using the restricted driver manager in admin menu to see if it will offer a new driver [01:01] it went out of screen -_- [01:01] TigerT-Ubuntu: you can try dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg from terminal [01:01] simgislab: a lot of people like puppy linux for usb installs. theres also dsl (damn small linux) but it's kinda ugly [01:01] sudo [01:02] I get a random freeze with most music players (Banshee, Rhythmbox).

The OS doesnt recognize a hardware device on the motherboard. It should just ignore it. [01:13] drowner_: no clues but could you start the music player with the command line, reproduce the error, and paste teh command line output to a pastebin? [01:13] is suspend a dm/wm-specific feature?

[01:14] i dont know how. i just bought an old laptop with windows xp, and it doesnt boot up [01:14] maybe I just have to tell the installer ethat I'm installing from CD instead of from a full mirror. Anyone know how to do that? [01:14] it doesnt boot from the disc [01:14] WhoaItsPhil: thsi is going to sound really retarded, but do you have any usb devices plugged in on boot? i used to get funky errors when trying to boot with a usb hard drive plugged in [01:14] NativeAngels: did you follow any tutorials?

I *think* maybe some files became corrupted, and i understand that some of the gstreamer things have issues if the song length it expects is different to what it seems - maybe some of the files became a bit spazzed. [01:16] I cant fix a problem with apt-get [01:16] has anyone here got anything to do voice chats with google talk? [01:16] i'll see what happens. [01:17] NativeAngels: you get an error about sockets?

[01:25] WhoaItsPhil: what about sudo lshw -v ? [01:25] I did. [01:25] southafrikanse: yes it is you gotta configure grub [01:26] it sounds liek it loads [01:26] but it doesnt [01:26] southafrikanse: i guess you could set grub to only run for 1sec, and then default to Ubuntu [01:26] NativeAngels: ctothej: ok so it seems this is strictly a problem connecting php to apache, right? mysql seems to be set up otherwise [01:26] is there anything i need to press to boot it? [01:26] NativeAngels: ctothej i mean connecting php to mysql, not to apache [01:27] <|Prometheus|> EnvoyRising, thank you. but i think i need the script to run before anything else... Ill explain my problem. I am getting DMA timeouts on y old hdd (/dev/hda).. i have appended kernel string to use ide=nodma, but still get the timeouts.. i have also tried /etc/hdparm.conf and added /dev/hda dma=off but still get the timeout. its very frustrating as it has increased my boot tie by almost two inutes [01:27] -v isn't a switch for it [01:27] <|Prometheus|> *time [01:27] NativeAngels: right, the error seems more like a php incompatibility error.

[01:28] yes clothej [01:28] http://pastebin.com/m3d7a0283 [01:28] its installed [01:29] |Prometheus|: could always just recompile a kernel without that module, right? [01:29] NativeAngels: ctothej: i have had this problem and don't remember the solution. other than the compatibility issue, which seems unlikely if you followed the tutorial, there *might* be a configuration file that needs to be edited (a guess) [01:29] NativeAngels: http://www.wallpaperama.com/disp-post91.html fond that maybe helps [01:29] EnvoyRising, modules can be unloaded... [01:30] hey envoyrising: [01:30] did a bit of googling - *similar* problems may have been solved with the installation of jackd, whatvever that is [01:31] NativeAngels: ctothej: the other thing to triple check is your php code [01:31] so, i suppose i'll try that (of course, it hasn't crashed for ages now) [01:31] this is so stupid [01:31] my GRUB menu.lst file keeps resetting after every kernel update. I configured it to point to my ubuntu install on my current partition, but every time the kernel upgrades and the grub updater does its thing, it keeps wiping the menu option that I added [01:31] PriceChild: i know they can be unloaded, but my point is that if he removes the module intirely, it'll eliminate the assumption that his kernel options are getting ignored at config [01:31] Argh... I just tried installing Nvida driver through restricted driver manager and now it does not boot past running local boot scripts [01:32] PriceChild: ie, if he still has the same errors, then obviously he's passing the wrong params, right? [01:32] NativeAngels: did you try a reboot, just for kicks? [01:32] any ideas? [01:32] FuriousMojo, boot the recovery mode and type sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg , select the vesa driver when you are asked use the defaults for everyting else [01:32] drowner_: strange you'd need jack installed, especially since ubuntu moved to esd [01:32] NativeAngels: unlikely to work, but worth a shot if you haven't tried it [01:33] drowner_: anything is worth a shot though i guess, right? lol [01:33] any clue on my grub list problem? [01:33] FuriousMojo, that will get you back the gui so you can try with the binary driver [01:33] ahahaha....ubuntu help... [01:33] well [01:33] Pelo: ok, that'll take me back to basic driver.

[02:06] deep: on Linux, Ebooks and ebooks, or EBoOks is not seen as the same folder [02:06] TooShort4, oh no [02:06] anybody know what a good site for streaming movies/tv shows is? [02:06] <|Prometheus|> TooShort4, no.. you already have the image created - you want to choose burn image file to disc [02:06] TooShort4, sorry. [02:06] deep: in other words..it is case sensitive [02:06] TooShort4, you need to... do what |Prometheus| said. [02:07] so write image file to disc? [02:07] <|Prometheus|> Ashfire908, I saw you just realised yourself :) [02:07] <|Prometheus|> TooShort4, Yep [02:07] ok so with this command I should be entering the name of the shared folder on the windows box, is that correct? [02:07] will ubuntu server install and run ok under virtual pc? [02:07] never mind, the IP just changed [02:07] its an iso though, dont i have to make it a .img [02:07] |Prometheus|, just before you corrected me... i need to not skim... [02:08] mkdir: cannot create directory `/Ebooks/EbooksCAP': No such file or directory [02:08] sry [02:08] <|Prometheus|> TooShort4, no buddy - the iso is an "image" file - of a cd [02:08] hi there. i was wondering is there any way of downloading ubuntu for powermacs? [02:08] <|Prometheus|> Ashfire908, :) I do it all the time [02:08] deep, does Ebooks exists in your / directory? [02:08] sdsheeks: still no wireless support...there was only one step in that list i hadn't tried [02:08] hello [02:08] cant help me pls [02:08] ok im burning it [02:08] SamusMan: did you reboot? [02:08] sdsheeks: yes, that's what i was just doing [02:08] necodemus try this http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Gutsy ...read the samba section [02:09] does ubuntu have an /sbin/chkconfig file? [02:09] SamusMan: oh didn't notice :) hrm okay where did you get your drive.inf file? [02:09] cause i'm not getting anything on my system [02:09] sdsheeks: from my windows partition [02:09] i cant u browse website [02:09] SamusMan: is this a laptop? [02:09] cobolfoo: No there is no ebook directory on my u-box [02:09] sdsheeks: yes [02:09] <|Prometheus|> SamusMan, to get my bcm43xx card working was simply a case of "sudo apt-get install bcm43xx-fwcutter", then "sudo apt-get install bcm43xx-firmware" [02:09] SamusMan: brand/model [02:09] because cant resolv to host [02:09] |Prometheus|: you're lucky that didn't work for me [02:10] i just wanna make sure it will boot though. i dont know how to check the bios [02:10] |Prometheus|: that was the first thing i tried [02:10] ropiee, can't resolve the host? check your dns servers. [02:10] unholy -- thanks, loading it up...floodbot3....makes me think of the old warfare stuff we did on IRC back in the day [02:10] deep you cannot create a folder inside a unexisting folder :) [02:10] sorry, im probably a real bother, but im a n00b. [02:10] sdsheeks: dell inspiron 1420 [02:10] how [02:10] how to generate resolv.conf by networkmanager??? [02:10] SamusMan: i would go to dells website and get the latest drive for your wireless device and unzip to a tmp folder..then use the inf that comes with that. [02:10] <|Prometheus|> sdsheeks, don't know if that method unlocked the restriction - i went to restricted drivers in system-> restricted drivers manager and ticked allow on the bcm firmware too [02:10] ropiee, right click the network icon in the top right of your screen and clikc the net info option [02:11] SamusMan: i tried from my vista partion, but it didn't work..had to go get an xp version [02:11] wait Werdna wow do you by chance research AC? [02:11] |Prometheus|: it never showed up there for me [02:11] ah, ok, that might be my problem [02:11] how do you remount dvd drive without ejecting it ?? [02:11] ropiee: sudo dhclient [02:11] |Prometheus|: only thing that would show in restricted was my nvidia driver [02:11] sdsheeks: i had disregarded that my .inf ended in 6 instead of 5, assuming i had a newer version, but i guess that's the difference [02:12] SamusMan: possibly yes..in my case there was [02:12] SamusMan: my laptop came with vista and i tried that one first. [02:12] cobolfoo can I pm you? [02:12] <|Prometheus|> sdsheeks, ahhh - don't know then buddy. its prob a newer chipset than my card [02:12] mad_max: something like: "sudo umount /media/cdrom0", then "sudo mount /media/cdrom0" [02:12] SamusMan: it will work..just takes some tweaking...very stable at least for me been up for days without an issue [02:12] deep: not having time for PM :] [02:12] the reason im installing ubuntu is cause i bought this lapopt for $20 but it came with XP and it was made for 95. next best thing is ubuntu [02:13] ejer....sudo dhclient??... [02:13] so it was uber slow [02:13] |Prometheus|: i'm an old gentoo hack...so i knew i would get it....just had to go the hard route [02:13] ropiee, are the primary and secondary dns servers in the net info "0.0.0.0"? [02:13] is diskette drive the same as cd drive [02:13] gotcha [02:13] TooShort4, no [02:13] <|Prometheus|> sdsheeks, :) cool bud [02:13] TooShort4: no [02:13] the primary is diskette. how do i change it to cd? [02:13] No default voice found in ("/usr/share/festival/voices/") [02:13] |Prometheus|: started with slacker .04 or something like that back in 94-96 range [02:13] any ideas on how to solve this? [02:14] s/slacker/slackware [02:14] sdsheeks, i have found information saying that i should be using bcmwl5a.inf instead of bcmwl5.inf, but i can't seem to find it anywhere >.> [02:14] ok thx [02:14] TooShort4, the cd drive does not need to be the complete top. it just needs to be above the har drive entry [02:14] do you have primary highlighted ?? [02:14] can resolv right now [02:14] thxx [02:14] how do i set it there? [02:14] thx [02:14] SamusMan: not even from dells website? [02:15] <|Prometheus|> sdsheeks, wow... I havent been using Linux long at all... Hoary was when i made the switch over from doze [02:15] dn4 : check for package named: festvox-kdlpc16k [02:15] TooShort4, from the bios setup screen. reboot and when it says "press F2 to enter setup" or whatever hit f2 [02:15] sdsheeks, i'm on my way there, but their website has some loops to jump through [02:15] |Prometheus|: i have been off and on for 10+ years now [02:15] i did [02:15] SamusMan: yea tell me about it....so does HP [02:15] but i dont know how to change it when i get there [02:15] it goes diskette drive, internal HDD, none [02:15] use your arrow keys [02:15] i did. it wont move [02:15] |Prometheus|: ubuntu is pretty neat though..just have to get use to the layout [02:16] well, you made it creeps [02:16] haha yeh [02:16] <|Prometheus|> sdsheeks, Yeah I know what you mean... I'm getting there - pretty much I think... Too used to Slax 6 (backtrack build) [02:16] so it wont let me change it [02:16] TooShort4, select none and hit enter or whatever and chant it to cdrom drive, then hit + (that usally moves it up) [02:16] hi there. i was wondering is there any way of downloading ubuntu for powermacs? [02:16] Funny how my name mutates a little accross networks...oh well. [02:17] yes jon ... you need the ppc version [02:17] !ppc | jon_high9000 [02:17] sdsheeks: it's an exe; should i wine it to get the files i need? [02:17] jon_high9000: PowerPC. Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ [02:17] not working [02:17] TooShort4, there should be some key of what buttons do at the right or bottom of the bios screen [02:17] SamusMan: you can try to unzip it [02:17] how do i go root or set root password? [02:17] anyone know a way to get a video stream to work through firefox or VLC that i can only seem to make work on my windows machine with internet explorer? [02:17] creeps: sudo su [02:17] thnx [02:18] sdsheeks: are you saying it might be a zip folder in disguise? [02:18] !root | creeps [02:18] creeps: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [02:18] it says <> change values, but when i go over it doesnt change it [02:18] creeps: normally you would just put "sudo" in front of the command though [02:18] SamusMan: might be yea..some are [02:18] irc.freenode.net [02:18] Has anyone had any problems with the Toshiba U300-NS6 that were not fixable? [02:18] SamusMan: HP's are [02:18] oops [02:18] Well last night my Video card was working fine. I dusted my computer out today with a can of compressed air, and It was probably on not even a couple of hours, until I clicked on the Synaptic Package Manager to update, and then it said "Please Check Signal Cable" I noticed my fan on my Video Card was not moving anymore, I got it back going, then it did the same thing, but this time the fan was moving, I noticed there was a Wireles [02:18] yep [02:18] s card basically RIGHT under the Video Card practically touching the Video Card, I removed that, I havn't had any more problems, oh by the way, it would say "Check Signal Cable" every 4-6 Min, I've been on it atleast 20. I also noticed the Monitor cable was loose, but again I tightened that up, and still same result, it's only when I removed the Wireless card that my Video Card worked, my question is, do you think that sovled the [02:18] it sure is, sdsheeks [02:18] issue? [02:18] TooShort4, so "<" and ">" doesn't do anything [02:18] SamusMan: :) [02:19] SamusMan: i need to jet for a few..wife is yelling at me about something [02:19] nope [02:19] SamusMan: |Prometheus| should be able to help :) [02:19] sdsheeks: there is a setup.exe inside it [02:19] it doesnt change it. neither does enter [02:19] SamusMan: ick! [02:19] sdsheeks: ok, thanks for your time [02:19] sdsheeks: i'll just wine it [02:19] right now to install ntfs-3g [02:19] TooShort4, hmm. [02:20] TooShort4, did you just try booting the cd? [02:20] i got a webcam and msn/aim on this computer i can show you if [02:20] booting it in regular windows? [02:20] <|Prometheus|> TooShort4, if you cannot get your bios to change to boot from cd - in windows, download sbminst (smart boot manager). start a cmd window and use the command "sbminst -t us -d 128 -y" from the directory it is located in. this will install the smart boot manager to your first hdd mbr. it has a list of options and one of them is boot cd rom [02:20] TooShort4, no just insert the disc and restart. [02:20] hey guys, i want to back up to a universally read/write cifs share, and encrypt my data, I'm planning on making a truecrypt volume on this share and mounting it then using rsync to mirror my filesystem to this truecrypt volume, would this be a good idea? [02:20] Ash yes i tried that [02:21] Prom thanks a bunch il try that now [02:21] Hellow Im trying to edit my Fsatb file to mount a drive with samba how to I access this file as the root? [02:21] <|Prometheus|> TooShort4, np buddy [02:21] !fstab | deep [02:21] deep: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [02:21] but hey i got this laptop for $20. can't beat that. its in great shape [02:21] |Prometheus|, which then adds a boot manager that might get destoried by the ubuntu installer... [02:21] unholymarriage: I also have a 2006 Athlon 64 bit Compaq Presario that had by accident the ethernet card was fried by an electrical storm three weeks back. i imagine it would fairly inexpensive to get a replacement ethernet card eh?

[02:22] anyone running koverartist on ubuntu 7.10 i installed through synaptic but cant find the program any where HELP [02:22] type sudo nano /etc/fstab [02:22] <|Prometheus|> Ashfire908, it will get destroyed by the ubuntu installer - yes, but grub will detect the windows partition and add that to the list, then over writing the sbinst manager with grub and the options to boot kernel, recovery, memtest and windows [02:22] yes deep :) [02:22] dont type deep: just read the information and follow it. [02:23] so i just download that then run cmd and put sbminst -t us -d 128 -y and it should let me boot from cd? [02:23] |Prometheus|, would problay be better to later just try to fix the bios settings [02:23] sudo gedit /etc/fstab is all you need to do [02:23] <|Prometheus|> TooShort4, yep - it'll show a blue screen before windows boots - dont be scared of it - just select boot cdrom from the list of options [02:23] unholy your helping deep too? [02:24] haha okay. [02:24] that usually scares me [02:24] if so, ill back up :) [02:24] <|Prometheus|> TooShort4, :) [02:24] right i have dl ntfs-3g to my desktop and when i type in command to install it says no target specified and no makefile found [02:24] after i run that do i manually restart? [02:24] well cause it's usually a BSOD [02:24] i guess i did not see the other fellows entry [02:24] how do i get it to install ? [02:24] <|Prometheus|> TooShort4, yes - it should give confirmation of it installing [02:25] bah, dell gave me the wrong drivers [02:25] !ntfs-3g | creeps [02:25] creeps: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions.

I suppose it goes against the point of Ubuntu but I'd like start off with a minimal system and not all of the extra stuff it installs. [02:32] !minimal | Knifa [02:32] Knifa: 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 [02:33] necodemus: the line 56 on your /etc/apt/sources.list is bogus check it wirth a text editor [02:33] <|Prometheus|> TooShort4, now type sbminst.exe and tell me the output please [02:33] phil it requires a directx plug in so....unfortunatly its my understanding its windows only... [02:33] wait so in cmd do i type the path [02:34] !alternate | Knifa [02:34] Knifa: The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate checkbox on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal [02:34] prince_jammys, is this an actual minimal install or just a smaller CD that downloads from the repositories instead of getting it from the CD? [02:34] ugh...no way at all to get a directx plugin for linux? hmm...is it possible to install internet explorer through wine or cedega on ubuntu and get it to work that way? [02:34] <|Prometheus|> TooShort4, I mean navigate to where the file is located... so if its on @ c:\sbminst do cd \ [02:34] Knifa: you make it as minimal as you want by choosing the packages [02:34] Knifa: begin with a server install and add packages from that [02:34] Now the console says that line 11 of ect/fstab is bad. line 11 of ect fstab is "//CAP/"10 Ebooks" /usr/ebooksCAP cifs guest,uid=1000,iocharset=utf8,codepage=unicode,unicode 0 0" where //cap/"10 Ebooks" is the computer name and directory im want to mount [02:34] prince_jammys oh ho, thank you [02:35] Who is watching ChrisPirillo? [02:35] erUSUL that also sounds good, i will look into that too :3 [02:35] Knifa: or you can begin with a server install as suggested above [02:35] okay excellent. [02:35] thanks.

[03:10] Try it, and see if the ISO is not corrupted [03:10] if I backup my home directory, and install ubuntu 64, and then unzip my home directory on the new ubuntu's home dir, what can I expect to happen? [03:10] the repo for ubuntu of http://ubuntu.nooms.de/ are available for gutsy gibbon? [03:10] correct me if I am wrong, but am I able install software as normal user? and not necessarily as root in Ubuntu? [03:10] i got it from the ubuntu web site [03:10] yes linux trojan [03:11] WhoaItsPhil: sudo ntfsfix /dev/ , but read man ntfsfix first [03:11] No [03:11] winows update rulz [03:11] prince_jammys: thanks for all the help, time to put the kids to bed. [03:11] pipcoke: isnt that a little dangerous? security issues? [03:11] doctor_thunder: you will have the same personal desktop you had to begin with [03:11] so being that it listed in lspci does that mean the generic kernel is recognizing it? [03:11] <|Prometheus|> I'm afraid that i do not think there is a way to boot from your modular bay... it should default to it by standard... i do not know why it is not doing. And you dont have the modular floppy drive to use? [03:11] necodemus: ok... you should be able to install google earth now [03:11] not really unless you want my ip? [03:11] cjae: yes [03:11] nickrud: Do I need to keep the same username? [03:11] it doesnt let me change the modular bay [03:11] I can get your ip in this room I think [03:12] or I can get it if you go to my webserver [03:12] ok linux user [03:12] nickrud, no,i haven't used miniiso before,the basic system,no [03:12] linux_trojan: no, you don't install software with the permissions of the normal user; you use sudo to escalate your permission temporarily [03:12] This is free: http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm [03:12] or my ftp server [03:12] etc [03:12] whats your webserver? [03:12] linux_trojan: no, only admin users can install software [03:12] so i cant install linux? [03:12] I have have a folder on my main partition (ntfs) for torrents and when I copy them to my music partition (fat32) I seem to lose ownership of them and my media player doesn't pick them up when it scans. It didn't used to do that, any thoughts? [03:13] linux_trojan: a regular old user cannot sudo [03:13] * wease| shakes his head [03:13] TooShort4, what is your problem [03:13] prince_jammys: I am installing software by using my regular user password [03:13] i sudo all the time [03:13] my ubuntu crashed and now it cant seem to detect my graphics card any ideas [03:13] doctor_thunder: the user id (1000 by default for the first) is what is stored, not the name. If you user id is 1000 ( grep /etc/passwd will tell you) whatever username you chose will be the new one [03:13] linux_trojan: you are an admin user :) [03:13] my laptop wont let me boot from a disc so i cant install ubuntu [03:13] new graphics card? [03:13] nickrud, so why does it say [virtual] Expansion ROM at 50000000 [disabled] [size=64K] [03:13] ... Capabilities: [03:13] in a terminal my user has a $ not a # [03:13] cool [03:13] linux_trojan, do you make trojan for linux? [03:13] <|Prometheus|> icesword, he cannot set his bios to boot from cdrom and he doesn't have a floppy drive [03:13] linux_trojan: you can set up normal user accounts, and they wont be able to sudo [03:13] Anyone using a bluetooth headset to listen to audio/video etc? [03:13] cjae: sudo lspci will show you that data [03:14] I tried to edit my fstab with the ip address and folder of the shared drive and now im getting "mount error: can not change directory into mount target /usr/ebooksCAP" the line I entered in ect/fstab is "//198.162.1.100/FileShare /usr/ebooksCAP cifs guest,uid=1000,iocharset=utf8,codepage=unicode,unicode 0 0" How do i mount this network share? [03:14] linux_trojan: that's not the same thing as the question you posed - no software exercising the authority of your user account could install software - the whole point of sudo is that you escalate your permissions to those of root, the admin user [03:14] |Prometheus|, what about hd install [03:14] !hd install [03:14] Sorry, I don't know anything about hd install - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [03:14] i get the following from fglrxinfo http://pastebin.com/m642f3ef7 [03:14] icesword: so, why would the minimal not be right? [03:14] my headphone cabe is 6 feet long and does reach my bedc [03:14] I am confused, honestly [03:14] Hey nickrud:: [03:14] <|Prometheus|> icesword, from within vmware? - thats the only way i think he can boot fro the cdrom [03:14] <|Prometheus|> *from [03:14] Can this command "fsck -Cr " fix this problem when booting Ubuntu: /dev/hda2: Resize inode not valid /dev/hda2: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY: RUN fsck MANUALLY but I run it and a Group 0's inode table at 4 conflicts with some fs block occurs [03:14] nickrd: will it save my bookmarks too? [03:15] [virtual] Expansion ROM at 50000000 [disabled] [size=64K] [03:15] Capabilities: [e0] Power Management version 2 [03:15] thanks nickrud [03:15] nickrud, if i can install what i want,then it is good,but takes time [03:15] icesword: unless it does the complete install (in which case I see your point). Do the server install to get the minimum [03:15] il try anything [03:15] I type in my user password at synaptic prompt [03:15] Chapulin: hey [03:15] hey this is what i use in my cifs //brent-pc/C$ /var/www/internal/brent-pc cifs exec,credentials=/etc/cifspw 0 0 [03:15] i mean what i put in my fstab [03:15] linux_trojan: an administrative user can use his password to temporarily act as root. your user is an admin user, so you can make those changes... you can create other user accounts (non admin) and they wont be able to install anything, nor make any system changes [03:16] charlie chaplin was a friend of mine why did you do it johnny depp [03:16] my normal user account doesnt have # though in terminal [03:16] how can it be a admin account? [03:16] is there a way i can boot it from a folder? [03:16] !rootsudo | linux_trojan [03:16] linux_trojan: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. [03:17] stfu dil hole [03:17] make a file with 2 lines one with username= and the other with password= [03:17] !stfu | pipcoke [03:17] pipcoke: Acronyms or statements like noob, jfgi, stfu or rtfm are not welcome in this channel. Period. [03:17] call it cifspw an put it in your etc/ [03:17] how about the word Period? [03:17] if no one has any ideas who might i ask [03:17] linux_trojan: it's admin in that it can excercise temporary root priviliges (without actually being the user "root") [03:18] * nickrud feels superseeded ;) [03:18] prince_jammys: I think I see, you mean ubuntu comes that way out of the box? [03:18] linux_trojan: if you were the user "root" you would have the # and never have to type a password, except on login [03:18] linux_trojan: yes [03:18] ubuntu is built to prevent anybody being a root all the time [03:18] ok I see [03:18] thats pretty neat [03:18] linux is reminding be of the days of win ME [03:18] linux_trojan: so that people think twice before destroying their box [03:19] is there any way i can install linux without booting from a cd? [03:19] linux_trojan: among other things [03:19] <|Prometheus|> TooShort4, I think its possible.. but soeone with more experience using vware virtual machines might be able to help you. I know you can create a physical link to your actual hdd in it, and it will overwrite data - i think if you resized your partiton, and installed ubuntu under vware onto the free space on your actual disc then it might be possible... i don't know about grub installing to the mbr under windows though - [03:19] <|Prometheus|> or through a virtual machine... its something i would have to try myself, before advising you to do. so if nobody here can hlp you with that procedure, i will try it tomorrow and tell you tomorrow night [03:19] root + linux + novice = disaster [03:19] <|Prometheus|> sorry fror the flood [03:19] windows tried to foolow suit with vista but they went a bit beyond the means to the point of irritation [03:20] linux_trojan: you can't even run a program that attempts to install something without being prompted for a pass.... if you were root, you could download some trojan and have copy files into your system, no questions asked [03:20] lol I been using rpm based distros for a long time, I even have installed knoppix on my hd but this is kinda different === regeya_ is now known as regeya [03:20] how do i change my screen resolution to the one i want when it doesnt show up on the list [03:20] ahorner, change drivers [03:20] or build one [03:20] errr... [03:20] how [03:20] im assuming no one has any ideas on how to fix fglrx [03:20] linux_trojan: makes sense? [03:21] oh yes [03:21] acee1234: what fglrx problem do you have? [03:21] http://pastebin.com/m642f3ef7 [03:21] btw, im running ubuntu in a virtual machine if it makes a difference [03:21] I feel a little nervous that ubuntu does install a firewall at first [03:21] acee1234: do you have xserver-xgl installed ? [03:21] harddisk install is possible [03:21] ahorner, if its on a VM then change the settings on the main machine [03:21] How do I install acrobat reader in Linux? [03:21] just use grub for dos [03:21] I need some help [03:21] nickrud: ill check synap [03:21] no... === IceGuest_7 is now known as KillerPacMan [03:22] i have to change it from inside ubuntu [03:22] |Prometheus|, did you ever help out samus with his bcm card? [03:22] NETWizz: the package manager has tones of acrobat readers [03:22] icesword could you help me install linux without a cd? [03:22] hi [03:22] the more i use VISTA the more i like UBUNTU.. ugggg !$#!$# [03:22] Hypothetically speaking, how would one install the entire Ubuntu repository on a system? Selecting every package in the package manager locks it up and sudo apt-get install * does not do it either. [03:22] <|Prometheus|> icesword, he cannot write to the mbr in windows though, and does not have a floppy drive to boot to dos [03:22] from like 800x600 to 1440x900 on my ati radeon x1550 pro [03:22] ahorner, yer runnin it VM but you HAVE to change it in ubuntu? [03:22] dl grub for dos [03:22] floppy drives ftl [03:22] the VM makes the changes [03:22] nickrud: no [03:22] justinmiller87: in reality, you can't install every package in the repos, some conflict with each other [03:22] check it yourself [03:22] im running it in ms virtual pc 2007 [03:23] ubuntu has no real control over the VM [03:23] i have something to d o nw,wait a min [03:23] acee1234: ok, pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log [03:23] vmware is great for pr0n [03:23] what ? how? [03:23] <|Prometheus|> sdsheeks, no, he left i think and i havent seen him since which means he got it working or he has given up.. [03:23] the window resizes to what ubuntu is set at [03:23] I am trying to install ubuntu 7.10 and as it starts to install it says "bcm43xx_microcode5.fw" failed to load and then it just sits there [03:23] if your OS gets hacked just delete the vm and start over [03:23] nickrud: gxl>fglrx? [03:23] hijoo ubuntus [03:23] |Prometheus|, alright...felt bad I had to take off for a few [03:23] ahorner, no, before you VM into ubuntu check the settings [03:23] prince_jammys: mike@mike-desktop-linux:~$ chmod +x ~/Desktop/GoogleEarthLinux.bin [03:23] mike@mike-desktop-linux:~$ sudo ./~/Desktop/GoogleEarthLinux.bin [03:23] [sudo] password for mike: [03:23] sudo: ./~/Desktop/GoogleEarthLinux.bin: command not found [03:23] fine... gimmie a min [03:23] i dont quite understand. if i download that, and have the image on my harddrive, will it let me install it like that [03:24] can somebody please help me? [03:24] prince_jammys: what am I doing wrong? [03:24] acee1234: xserver-xgl is used with fgrlx to allow compiz to run; but it causes errors with fgrlxinfo when it's installed [03:24] nickrud thx for the info. I was just curious how much space it would take up if it were all downloaded and uncompressed. [03:24] I have found that only vmware player can in stall in ubuntu, I couldnt install vmware workstation, dont know why [03:24] <|Prometheus|> sdsheeks, Its ok buddy.. i have a feeling he got it working... [03:24] hahah yeah i see [03:24] i am willing to pm for help [03:24] NETWizz: now that was dumb [03:24] i have a problem with bluetooth conection, i need to use pin helper to acept automatic pin without input, but it not works [03:24] I am trying to install ubuntu 7.10 and as it starts to install it says "bcm43xx_microcode5.fw" failed to load and then it just sits there [03:24] anyone actually installed vmware workstation with a licence? [03:24] necodemus: a . references the current directory - so you're saying look for .// [03:25] I am using workstation 5.5 maybe thats why? [03:25] nickrud: http://pastebin.com/m2e4daf95 [03:25] what is a licence [03:25] whats up all [03:25] ^^ [03:25] *license [03:25] Im trying to mount a windows network share when i do a sudo mount -a nothing happens? [03:25] lisense? [03:25] how come my driver won;t change from vesa [03:25] I dont know [03:25] linux + license? what? [03:25] acee1234: well, you're not using the fgrlx driver, you're using vesa [03:26] I have a quick question [03:26] deep, have samba installed? [03:26] no, vmware workstation with a license [03:26] nickrud: i am now that only happened after it crashed [03:26] linux dont need no friggin license [03:26] NETWizz: before youf looded off-topic, i told you the answer.. its in the medibuntu repository [03:26] heh, linux does have a license [03:26] sure you do..gpl [03:26] a license to drive it freely [03:26] geebus [03:26] no i never have [03:26] :) [03:26] how's everybody doin [03:26] wonderful [03:26] acee1234: hm. Did you use envy to install the driver? or did you use the restricted manager? [03:26] but the license is virtually non existent [03:26] smbmount //windowsbox/windowsfolder /home/user/mnt/myr0n [03:27] deep, if you have a windows share on another machine and you want to mount it you can use the following [03:27] sdsheeks i have it installed and have edited my fstab file so that it points to the ip/sharedFolder on the network and the directory [03:27] nickrud: both at one point or another [03:27] no - the license is very important [03:27] deep, sudo mount //ipaddress/sharename /mntpoint [03:27] prince, no it isnt [03:27] smbmount //windowsbox/windowsfolder /home/user/mnt/mypr0n [03:27] where the hell i gparted in the menu? [03:27] deep, try mounting it manually first and see if it works [03:27] if i use grub for dos will i still have windows? [03:27] or can i get rid of it [03:27] acee1234: ah. You have what's called an 'undefined' system then. I've never used envy, so I don't know how to back out of it. [03:27] Yeaaaaa...its uncompressing...lets see if it crashes my system once it installs. [03:27] TooShort4, perhaps a vmware image would be best for you so you can get use to linux [03:27] torvalds even says it isnt important to follow the license [03:28] its just a statement [03:28] nickrud: joy [03:28] acee1234: true. If this is a recent install, I'd start over. [03:28] nickrud: reinstall linux for the 5th time this month? [03:28] so has anyone actually installed a firewall software for ubuntu? [03:28] wease|: well i don't know if you are referring to "linux" as only the kernel or as all the GPL software you have in your OS [03:28] does the ubuntu repo server throttle your bandwidth if you download too much? [03:28] what is a good easy gui configureable one? [03:29] how do i change from a vesa driver [03:29] acee1234: yes, but this time use only ubuntu sources. I've run the same install since I started. [03:29] linux_trojan have you tried firestarter> [03:29] demonspork: It shouldn't, no. [03:29] linux_trojan, i use a seperate server and route my traffic through that [03:29] acee1234: that sounds like me an win, every 30 days fresh install so it will keep running :) [03:29] wease|: but the license is key to open source [03:29] ahorner: restricted drivers manager [03:29] acee1234: what kind of video card do you have? [03:29] i am trying to install ubuntu on a laptop [03:29] says i dont need any [03:29] firestarter? [03:29] demonspork: of course, the mirrors are free to do whatever, they may even be being throttled [03:29] no, I will give it a try [03:29] and keep getitng an error [03:29] ahorner: What graphics card? [03:29] hi guys!! i'm trying to use winFF and i get an error can anybody help??? [03:29] I can't use vlc-mozilla-plugin [03:29] echo -n "\033]0; Converting 3.mpg (1/1)\007" [03:29] /usr/bin/ffmpeg -i "/home/al/Documents/back up/video/3.mpg" -r 29.97 -vcodec h264 -s 640x480 -aspect 4:3 -flags +loop -cmp +chroma -deblockalpha 0 -deblockbeta 0 -b 1250k -maxrate 1500k -bufsize 4M -bt 256k -refs 1 -bf 3 -coder 1 -me umh -me_range 16 -subq 7 -partitions +parti4x4+parti8x8+partp8x8+partb8x8 -g 250 -keyint_min 25 -level 30 -qmin 10 -qmax 51 -qcomp 0.6 -trellis 2 -sc_threshold 40 -i_qfactor 0.71 -acodec aac -ab 112k -ar 48000 [03:29] -ac 2 -s 480x272 -aspect 4:3 "/home/al/Documents/3.mp4" [03:29] rm "/home/al/.winff/ff080222192822.sh" [03:29] ati radeon x1550 pro on ms virtual machine 2007 [03:29] I have a router but still, I want a local firewall [03:29] sdsheeks i dont know how to mount it manualy and I tried sudo mount //ipaddress/sharename /mntpoint [03:29] linux_trojan : its basically a control panel for Ubuntu;s IP tables [03:29] !pastebin [03:29] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lines 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 channel topic) [03:29] Flannel, I have been mirroring the ubuntu gutsy repo to an external hdd, and I have gotten about half way through and the download rate seems to have cut from 350 to 10kbps [03:29] prince_jammys, i run open source and i disagree completely. the "license" is just a small agreement that you will do well to to the software and community in promoting changes and sharing said changes [03:30] deep, what did that command do for you? [03:30] I uninstalled other video plugins, but it doesn't work [03:30] any idea? [03:30] ahorner: I don't think virtual machines accept accellerated drivers [03:30] god am I hungry, I mean hungry [03:30] I am out, thanks [03:30] hey guys, im loading a USB stick into my laptop, but it says i can delet anything , whats goin on ? [03:30] i think they might :-/ [03:30] wease|: and not being able to change the software without it becoming open source [03:30] prince_jammys, the license is key to closed source more than it is anything in the open source movement [03:30] wease|: it's a bit more than that, it's a legal document defining how you are allowed to use the software [03:30] !firewall [03:30] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [03:30] nickrud: i just uninstalled the sti driver through envy [03:30] ToddEDM>>check if it's no blocked in writting [03:31] acee1234: as far as fglrx is concerned I would direct any opprobrium strictly towards ATI [03:31] acee1234: it's very buggy [03:31] deep, ? [03:31] gpl is very important [03:31] it asked me for a pw i enterd my root pw and nothing happend its still sitting idle, my console does not have a prompt [03:31] nickrud: going to attempt to reinstall [03:31] every one, I have an announcement to make...if I crash off here its because I am killing my computer for crashing :) [03:31] deep, when it asks for a pwd just hit enter [03:31] acee1234: ok. I'll be around most of the evening [03:31] thiblahute: i dont understand [03:31] ahorner: I am not aware of any functionality like that. Maybe someone else is [03:31] k gotta log [03:31] nickrud, no. its called GPL. open for everybody and malleable at will [03:31] wease|: you must never have read it [03:31] deep, also note that whatever you set for the mountpoint must already exist [03:31] nickrud: i would gladly burn my ati card to ash had i to replace it in my laptopa way [03:32] is it important to have firewall sets up in a regular desktop env ? [03:32] if you dont think GPL is important...take a look at the BSD liscence and all that [03:32] nickrud: mouse mixed that one [03:32] dunia, security is always important in my opinion [03:32] nickrud, i have and it isnt binding like a normal license with major software [03:32] acee1234: I have an ati 200m, I don't use the fglrx at all ;) Open source all the way [03:32] ToddEDM>>You don't have a button on the mp3 player to block it when you don't use it? Sometime you can't write on it because of that function [03:32] wease|: I think the writers of it would disagree [03:32] nickrud: xgl? [03:32] sdsheeks i just created a dir with mkdr is there a command to make a mountpoint? [03:32] acee1234: no, the ati driver. [03:33] wease|: read the leaked MS documents that show how GPL ruins what would be their attempts at using, rebranding and closed-sourcing opensource software [03:33] deep, nope what happens if you just hit enter when it prompts for the password [03:33] nickrud: what do you use [03:33] acee1234: open source ati driver, xserver-xorg-video-ati [03:33] nickrud : the ati drivers are open source, or at least partially [03:33] nickrud: ah [03:33] deep, then change to the mountpoint you indicated and do an ls [03:33] is there a fix for Firefox using up to 90% processor when idle? [03:33] thiblahute: its not an mp3 player, its a USB stick and i think its set as read only, how do i change it [03:33] deep, after you mount it it will just return you to the prompt [03:33] sdsheeks, i've been use ubuntu for about 5 months without firewall, what's the worse could happen ? [03:34] Look in the doc about fstab [03:34] dunia: you running any servers open to the world? If not, nothing. [03:34] dunia, identity theft would be the worst for me..i like my identity [03:34] dunia : Ubuntu, out of the box comes with iptables, and stock, doesnt listen on any ports [03:34] nickrud, you can't say that for sure.. [03:34] I'd like to run the Ubuntu 7.10 CD as a live CD (e.g. not install) on my brother's new computer. But it comes up with a yucky video mode ... I tried to change the resolution but the correct value was not in the list [03:34] How can I rebuild the CD so it includes 1440x900 in the video mode list? [03:34] You can mount it with th e writting permissions if it didn't automaticly [03:34] dunia : but to be safe you could install firestarter [03:34] my theory is if someone wants something bad enough they will get it [03:34] thiblahute: it worked last night , i transferred files to it [03:34] ANy idea about VLC_plugin? [03:35] sdsheeks: yes I can. Firewalls in linux protect ports, they are not virus protection [03:35] me to but since i been going in irc which is about 1 day my computer keeps crashing and i had up time of more than 60 days beofre that so i think some nasty people are in irc [03:35] nickrud: why is ubuntu so unstable [03:35] ToddEDM>>Try to unmount it and remount [03:35] nickrud, like httpd ? it's only run on localhost:80 and polipo on localhost:8123 ... [03:35] why is stability in Gutsy so much worse than previous Ubuntu versions? [03:35] nickrud, okay :) [03:35] acee1234: it's not [03:35] prince_jammys, that is my point...GPL allows for changes and includes SOURCE....other software does not include and is not inclined for including source. the GPL is open to anybody willing to participate in using it and making changes at will as they see fit. Ubuntu wouldnt be around without it. so you can argue it is very important but it really is a very miniscule event when you call it a license.....it is a free agency license that a [03:35] llows freedom to the OS, software, etc for ways to work it how you see fit [03:35] hey there, i want to create a 2gb partition for /home and move the current home to the new partition and make it default, how to do that? [03:35] I'n using the free wifi at the hotel I'm in and I need to do some online banking. Potentually "the guy next door" could see my banking data right? Would I be safer to ssh -X to my server back home and do my banking from there? [03:35] dunia: that means they are only listening to the local machine, so not open to the world [03:35] Z_o-s-o, i'll try to [03:35] Thanks [03:35] nickrud: just a bit frustrated i guess.. [03:36] nickrud, k thanks [03:36] My system have an error when booting Ubuntu, How can I edit /etc/fstab and put /home as read-only? [03:36] wease|: plus the key item: that all changes must also be open source [03:36] deep, get it? [03:36] EADG: your bank doesn't use HTTPS? [03:36] prince_jammys, exactly [03:36] dunia : its pretty light, its basically a config gui for iptables that ubuntu has by default [03:36] EADG, banking sites use 128bit encryption, no-one can read that information [03:36] thiblahute: , that is not working [03:36] lol doesnt use https [03:36] EADG, pull your curtains shut and turn off the lights [03:36] prince_jammys, anybody using open source keeps it as such. we're not talkin SCO [03:36] never say never Diplocat [03:37] acee1234: the thing about linux is it's so open to the user, the user can screw things up without realizing it :) [03:37] acee1234: the dark side of having total control [03:37] Z_o-s-o, well... I didn't say never... but no-one can read that info yet [03:37] nickrud, you can do the same in vista..it will just ask you if you are sure :) [03:37] hehe.. K, . I'm taking off my tin foil hat too. Yes, bank does use 128bit... [03:37] EADG, no leave it on! :) j/k i travel every other week and have been fine so far. [03:37] no sheeks [03:37] how can i make all the 7960s in my work ring ARE YOU THERE ?? all at the same time? any cisco people??/ [03:37] EADG: then the guy next door better have access to the NSA key cracking server farm [03:38] deep, using gnome? [03:38] its not that you CAN'T...it takes TIME [03:38] ? [03:38] thousands of years [03:38] nickrud: just seems like my ati graphics card kills ubuntu ....compiz doesnt work properly it freezes when i log out glitchy video etc [03:38] after a while this is what returned [03:38] with current technology [03:38] mount error 110 = Connection timed out [03:38] Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs) [03:38] Skapare: true dat. K, forget banking for a moment, what about watching my irc session?

[03:38] sdsheeks: I think we're talking about two different things, I'm talking about firewalls protecting vulnerable servers listening to the world [03:38] just did a fresh install of gutsy and after installing emerald nautilus crashes on boot [03:38] super E makes me smile [03:38] acee1234: the problem as I say is often fglrx itself - ati can't write drivers it seems [03:38] mmmm [03:38] ideas? [03:38] acee1234: that's ati, not linux, not ubuntu. [03:39] nickrud, we are and that's fine. He was talking in terms of a normal everyday user... [03:39] EADG: now that you could do SSH for ... I actually do that from home to my server via SSH so Comcast can't spy [03:39] How can I edit /etc/fstab and put /home as read-only since Ubuntu wont load an an UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY running fsck occurs [03:39] diplocat : google "how to crack 128 bit security in 60 seconds" [03:39] nickrud: true but it all has to work or none of it does [03:39] Z_o-s-o: doesn't that go to a spammer web site? [03:39] no [03:39] nickrud: ill reinstall... [03:39] I would, but I had to close Firefox to stop it using 90% processor when it was idle... now I have to reboot to use it again... I may as well use Winblows [03:39] i dont think so i was just at the link [03:39] acee1234: That's why I use open source. I know who to talk to, and they're responsive. Closed source usually isn't [03:40] sheeks pinging now it looks as if its hittig the win box "64 bytes from 192.168.1.100: icmp_seq=36 ttl=128 time=0.373 ms [03:40] hello?

[03:40] deep, are you using gnome? [03:40] CVD-PR, hi [03:40] Skapare: hmm, nope. [03:40] Can I find a Linux expert here? [03:40] anybody messin around with firefox 3.0bpre?

[03:41] acee1234: we're heading way off topic here, so I'll say this and stop. Would you blame adobe or microsoft if photoshop didn't work? [03:41] Is there a way to use Global Hotkeys with songbird? [03:41] EADG: do it the way I showed so you get the port forwarding ... the -N will make NO SESSION ... do it in a separate window [03:41] if your sshd into your server type irssi [03:41] <|Prometheus|> icesword, no he has gone i know what you mean by grub4dos now as well i did not think you could write to the mbr of your main drive through windows with it but you can forgot about the boot.ini aswell - being able to insert grldr in there [03:41] ubuntu [03:42] deep, yes i would assume that...do you have a gui? [03:42] Skapare: lemme try that now... sec [03:42] icesword: I don't understand the question [03:42] EADG: then run IRC specifying 127.0.0.1 as the IRC server [03:42] <|Prometheus|> icesword, i was about to walk him through it [03:42] Can someone answer a question?

[03:45] a bit of a technical question...i'm trying to compile a program that uses strlcpy(). it works fine on my mac and on my campus slackware machines, but on ubuntu i get an error: "undefined reference to 'strlcpy'". when i compile to object files first with a makefile, it throws a warning: "implicit declaration of function 'strlcpy'", and the subsequent compile fails with the same error as before. i'm reading that this may be a *BSD thing, which explains [03:45] I am trying to install something but I think it wants me to compile it... and I really have no idea what to do. Can someone give me a step-by-step in PM? [03:45] too check that look in var/log/ssh??? [03:45] nickrud, on that minimalcd image page,one part is called cell ,what is it for,cell phone [03:45] Z_o-s-o, that's cracking the password isn't it? as opposed to the encryption... so to do that to a banking site you'd need to try 50,000 user/pass combinations? [03:45] you can uninstall emerald, with sudo apt-get remove emerald [03:46] Someone had the same poblem,and he fixed it editing /etc/fstab and making /home read-only [03:46] EADG: no ... the -N made it "hang" ... that means NO SESSION ... go to another window now and do IRC to server 127.0.0.1 [03:46] EADG: of course substitute the necessary parts in the example command I gave [03:46] Hello, This is a automated from me Pc Gamer 2007, I have noticed that you are on my contact list and would like to present you with my brand new website!

[03:54] wow [03:54] ok [03:54] Hi I installed irc2(IRCNET Irc server) and it runs correctly but I wan to add some IRC Services like ChanServ and set a user in IRC to be Operator what I have to ? [03:54] Bossmanbeta, I don't get it. [03:54] this place is funny afterall [03:54] not sure how to change pass though [03:54] alex, not really.

It just seems so tedious. will you help me do it? [03:56] Skapare: ... and one of the EADG will die :) [03:56] EADG_: tell me the IP address of the computer you SSH'd to (priv msg OK) [03:56] alex, if you think about it ... the amount of time you're spending trying to get someone to do it for you, you could be spending learning how to do it ..... then next time you need to compile something, you'd have no need to ask anyone... so it's actually less work to learn it that to ask for step-by-step handholding... oh and to answer your question, no.

[03:57] dsmith_, I know DELL has ubuntu only machines [03:57] alex_, compiling requires your own intelligence to what you are doing. i cant hold your hand and wait for the outcome only to fix it further. my suggestion is to RTFM [03:57] alex_: I know that lol [03:57] an HP laptop [03:57] it has vista on it [03:57] wease|, RTFM? [03:57] DancerGirl06: did you test the cd? [03:58] dsmith_, Okay. [03:58] yes [03:58] whats the model HP laptop? [03:58] anyone know of a way to convert dvd-format files to .avi? [03:58] umm [03:58] EADG: then your first session is going through that IP ... hmmm [03:58] wease|: that's another vorboten acronym :) [03:58] I can't get the nvidia-glx-new package to install, so I am trying to use the driver directly from the nvidia website, and it is having trouble finding the kernel source, even though I went in and installed it in synaptic [03:58] dsmith_, I actually bought the Dell Nseries box (w/ubuntu) .. I wiped it in favor of Gutsy ... but damn if it's not a nice box [03:58] DancerGirl06: did you try to install with the alternate cd? [03:58] pavillion tx 1000 ? [03:58] DancerGirl06, What crashes? The install? [03:58] Bossmanbeta: hmmmm... I am still waiting till one other major player comes out [03:58] yes the install [03:58] nickrud, i apologize [03:59] it will start to install [03:59] EADG: you are currently running irc from a shell at the hotel? or the ssh shell to home? [03:59] well from 1st hand experience, the box is sweet.... good video card .. the 1 I got has 4gigs of ram... really runs smooth [03:59] wease|: no problem at all, the advice was good [03:59] Skapare: Yes, I'm ssh'd into that box from hotel... just regular, plane ol' ssh. [03:59] it says "Microcode "bcm43xx_microcode5.fw" not available or load failed" then a few lines later it locks up [03:59] alex_, you know enough to compile. you chouldnt require me to help you when there is a manual that can help you do the things you want to do. [03:59] Bossmanbeta, i just picked up an HP limited edition with 4gb 64bit very nice [03:59] errm [03:59] sdsheeks, 64 bit ....... nice.... [03:59] where do fonts go? what folder? [03:59] i need help building building a module [03:59] wease|, Okay, thanks. [04:00] Bossmanbeta, yup only issue is that darn flash player :) [04:00] Skapare: this nick is using the hotel connection straight to irc.freenode.com [04:00] DancerGirl06: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&rlz=1B3GGGL_enUS232US232&sa=X&oi=spell&resnum=0&ct=result&cd=1&q=ubuntu+tx1000&spell=1 [04:00] EADG: then maybe something in your setup is too odd for me to see ... I'll need too much info about what you have set up to diagnose this [04:00] !fonts [04:00] Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer [04:00] how to shutdown gutsy using ssh? [04:00] i actually have a hauppauge capture card I put in it .... I watch TV with Mplayer... and stream it over SSH to watch from work with VLC :-) [04:00] So I tried to install the sun-java6-plugin package and it says it doesn't exist to install? Like no package is in the repos? I'm so very confused. [04:00] EADG_: and yet this nick did irc to 127.0.0.1 ?? [04:00] rhineheart_m: sudo reboot? [04:01] thanks dsmith [04:01] !info sun-java6-plugin [04:01] sun-java6-plugin (source: sun-java6): The Java(TM) Plug-in, Java SE 6. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 6-03-0ubuntu2 (gutsy), package size 1 kB, installed size 80 kB [04:01] sdsheeks, what isue w/flash player? [04:01] dsmith_: thanks but it will just reboot the server.. it won't shutdown [04:01] issue* [04:01] prince_jammys: so very werid [04:01] EADG_: the ssh connection maybe doubled back on you? [04:01] dxdt: 64bit? [04:01] dxdt: you checked that "multiverse" is enabled? [04:01] nickrud: yeah :( [04:01] Skapare: I tried to in a new window on this laptop in the hotel, but I think it used the same IP as this nick when I did /connect irc.freenode.com in irssi. [04:01] 6.03 + 7.10 on 64bit is iffy at best on 32 bit [04:01] Bossmanbeta, well the adobe flash player doesn't support 64bit [04:01] oh............. [04:02] dxdt: yup, it doesn't exist. Sun doesn't have a 64bit browser plugin [04:02] didnt know that -- but then again I'm running 32bit [04:02] nickrud: sigh I knew you were going to say that haha [04:02] Bossmanbeta, i can live with it [04:02] EADG_: doing /connect irc.freenode.com will bypass the ssh ... do /connect 127.0.0.1 [04:02] can one make synaptic use aptitiude instead of apt? [04:02] not much speed diff between 32/64 is there? I never saw much [04:02] I got a question? [04:02] anyone [04:02] Bossmanbeta, can't tell...it's just FAST :0 [04:02] is there anything like a Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper Icon Theme pack [04:02] the dual cores seem to help though [04:02] that's the only thing I think the "64bit?" question can lead to [04:02] cjae: it doesn't use either [04:02] I want my 7.10 to look like Dapper [04:02] Skapare: don't sweet it. Now I've got something to keep my busy for a few days... finding out about port forwarding. [04:02] bossmanbeta, diff is in the processor more than anything [04:02] Bossmanbeta, yea it is the turion dual core 64bit [04:02] nickrud, what does it use? [04:03] have installed Koverartist in ubuntu but how do i run it [04:03] well... thanks a lot sun microsystems............... hmm. [04:03] Skapare: ahhh, K, I'll give it anouther go :) [04:03] .... this is cool :) [04:03] well I mean experientially-speaking... does it "feel" faster... I've run fedora on a 64bit box... didn't seem much faster [04:03] i run 64 bit 7.10 but running 32 bit apps with java 6.03 wont work [04:03] EADG_: OK ... but -L is what you want to make a local connection come out at the remote point [04:03] !synaptic [04:03] synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto [04:03] anyone want to give me some pointers on how to get a live CD to boot on a Dell Laptop? [04:03] !flash64 | cjae [04:03] cjae: You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava [04:03] nickrud, you're my hero [04:03] i put it in, rebooted...and hit F12... [04:03] rhineheart_m: shutdown -r now [04:04] rebooted? [04:04] no need for that [04:04] sdsheeks: mine too ;p [04:04] Bossmanbeta, can't really say..had the laptop for an hour and put ubuntu on it...64 bit never tried the32 bit [04:04] Skapare: umm, so use L or stick with the -N? [04:04] but it hang for 20+ mins loading the kernel [04:04] think it's bad ram or what? [04:04] [04:04] EADG__: both ... as I described [04:04] o [04:04] there's about 8 gigs free on it [04:04] Hi I installed irc2(IRCNET Irc server) and it runs correctly but I wan to add some IRC Services like ChanServ and set a user in IRC to be Operator what I have to do ? [04:04] !flash64 | dxdt [04:04] dxdt: You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava [04:04] nickrud, ?? [04:04] dsmith_: I think it will just reboot...it won't shutdown.. are you sure with it? [04:04] must suck tho ... no YouTube browsing... [04:04] cjae: yeah, typo sorry [04:04] dev1n: hit f6 after it starts [04:04] soo, anyone know when flash is going to be fixed again? [04:04] anyone willing to help me install a module [04:04] ok, what does f6 do? [04:04] or perhaps alt-f6 [04:05] This compiling stuff is rather confusing. [04:05] cjae: got lost in the scroll for a bit :) [04:05] hrm kind of hackish..you are not really running the 64bit you are running 32bit [04:05] nickrud: Yeah I'm looking around there right now. I actually already have flash installed, so hopefully I can do this really quickly [04:05] but i'll give it a try [04:05] nickrud, :p [04:05] EADG: ssh -L 6667::6667 -N @ [04:05] rhineheart_m: local or remote box? [04:05] Skapare: ssh -L 6667:irc.freenode.com:6667 -N my@myipaddy is what I'll use, then on local machine fire up irssi and type /connect 127.0.0.1 [04:05] dsmith_: remote box accessible thru putty [04:05] alex_, before you attempt to compile you need to know exactly what youre doing and why you are doing it [04:05] sdsheeks: nice thing about 64bit, you can run 32bit as well [04:06] it is hard to reverse [04:06] nickrud, yea [04:06] EADG: if you leave out the -N you also get a shell session ... no big deal, but a bit harder to quickly take down if you need to [04:06] eek 32but emulation libraries............... that sounds like fun ................. (not) [04:06] does ubuntu has any repository with gnome 2.20.4 or 2.20.3 packages? [04:06] Bossmanbeta, :) [04:06] wease|, Oh, then I suppose I should scratch my "try-random-stuff-in-terminal" plan [04:06] rhineheart_m: look around on google [04:06] nickrud, so it is not possible [04:06] killown: no [04:06] Skapare: K, here goes... [04:06] I have a book here but its not handy [04:06] EADG__: sounds workable ... doesn't irssi have a way to specify server on command line and auto connect? [04:06] dsmith, are you suddgesting hitting F6 instead of F12 [04:06] Does anyone know why my firefox always crashes when watching flash video, I havent been able to solve this [04:07] alex_, that would be inherently worse, you may as well play roulette with the command line [04:07] EADG__: you should be able to configure that in your setup if an icon [04:07] nickrud, I know where I got full source of gnome 2.20.3? [04:07] cjae: java in 64bit firefox? No, but you can run 32bit java in 64bit os. I do myself. Don't really know why, I never use java plugins [04:07] dev1n: from what your saying the gui is hanging when your booting? [04:07] killown: gnome.org [04:07] wease|, I see. I wasn't really going to type in random stuff, but I don't know how purposeful it would have been :P [04:07] nickrud, i run 6.03 in 64bit [04:07] it works fine [04:07] Z_o-s-o: ive had the same problems [04:07] Anyone well-versed in mic problems under Ubuntu? The should be *relatively* simple... [04:07] nickrud, no make synaptic use aptitude instead of apt [04:07] 20-minute hang is way too long [04:07] Z_o-s-o: try removing and reinstalling firefox [04:07] Skapare: Yep, it does. I'll look it up, I have it in screenrc [04:07] is there a way to let mldonkey keep connected to a certain number of servers? [04:07] killown: look up jhbuild, it will make compiling relatively painless [04:07] thats what i did [04:08] Basically, sound-in works, but evidently only under 'sound-recorder'. [04:08] and it seems to not do it AS much [04:08] yep, the progress bar get's to 100% loading the kernel...and then it hangs there. [04:08] Skype, gnome-sound-recorder, etc. can't capture sound. [04:08] prohna : have you found a solution? [04:08] alex_....its all all about super cow powers [04:08] so i should hit F6 then? [04:08] !! [04:08] cjae: ah, brain re-engages. synaptic, apt-get, and aptitude all use the same backend, apt. [04:08] Z_o-s-o: just reinstalling firefox [04:08] I've tried messing with alsamixer... and it doesn't seem to be doing much. [04:08] what does it do? [04:08] DancerGirl06: your welcome, your not the only to have had that problem [04:08] Z_o-s-o: and it still does it sometimes, just not as much as before [04:08] is there anything like a Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper Icon Theme pack [04:08] prohna : I never thought of that [04:08] wease|, I think I am going to go ahead and give up. Let me know if you know of any pre-built packages that will edit avi files (add music/transitions/etc.) [04:08] he doesn't need super cow powers........ I've already blessed him with penguin water [04:08] Bossmanbeta: ol [04:08] lol [04:08] can i run ubuntu without any kind of graphics driver running locally and control the thing exclusively over the network? [04:09] yes you can control over network [04:09] cjae: in fact, the ubuntu devs are 'strongly' recommending not using aptitude since they are adding functionality to apt-get that may or may not get to aptitude [04:09] panfist: yea, vnc? [04:09] alex_: have you considered Kino or PiTiVi? [04:09] nickrud: since when? [04:09] a blessing with penguin water gives +5 INT and +7 Bash scripting abilities .. with Keyboard of Might you also get +2 on even-die rolls [04:09] cet, dsmith_ my question is not how can i control it remotely, i know how to do that, my question is can i disable all of the local graphics hardware, and physically remove it [04:09] you mean without a gui ssh apt-get install sshd [04:09] Skapare: Hehe, it worked, look at this nicks' ip, should be same as EADG [04:09] alex_, i think Audacity can edit AVIs [04:09] dsmith_: I was told by one of the official ubuntu support team [04:09] nickrud, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=37736 [04:10] nickrud: interesting [04:10] hello [04:10] EADG__: yay! [04:10] fredmv, the prebuilt kino package does not import avis. I was actually trying to compile the updated kino that can indeed edit avis [04:10] help me pls [04:10] EADG__: you should set up your laptop to "phone home" with a cron job that makes an ssh connection with key authentication to a dummy userid on your home computer, with port forwarding back to the laptop (-R) in case it gets stolen [04:10] how to install file kerberos [04:10] fredmv, I haven't tried pitivi... I'll try it. [04:10] I guess no one ever played D&D :) [04:10] Dam!! how sweet is that?!? [04:10] wease|, Thanks, I'll check it out. [04:10] alex_: ah, alright... yeah--look into it--it's decent. [04:10] Skapare: I kindly await your thesis on how to do that :) [04:10] skapare thats cool [04:10] cjae: I've been using aptitude since the first day I used debian. Even wrote the AptitudeSurvivalGuide on help.ubuntu.com. I love aptitude [04:10] wease|, you familar with mic input problems under Ubuntu? [04:10] panfist: while its still running? [04:10] i'm going to try getting out of a GUI hang with F6, but i'm still wondering what it does...or is supposed to do. [04:11] how to install file kerberos [04:11] fredmv, like what? input issues? [04:11] fredmv, i am not necessarily justifying my laziness here, but I think it is developers' responsibiliy to prebuild packages to make ubuntu more user-friendly and thus more popular. [04:11] Alex, have you looked at Cinelerra ? [04:11] dsmith_ no not necessarily while its still running. i am just wondering if its possible to run a file server without any graphics hardware using power [04:11] dev1n what do you want it to do? [04:11] dev1n: i had that issue with two laptops, you just need to boot verbosely [04:11] dsmith_: the only thing I've seen myself that may fit the bill is the authentication stuff that's going into hardy [04:11] wease|: Well, yeah. I can get input but nothing captures output (well, except sound-recorder [command line sound recording app]). [04:11] primarily I'm trying to use Skype [04:11] Bossmanbeta, No I haven't, thanks though. I'll check it out after I check out pitivi and audacity [04:11] panfist: yes, the mobo vga port should work fine [04:12] Skapare: I knew Linux was good for something besides robotfindskitten and nethack :P [04:12] have installed Koverartist in ubuntu but how do i run it [04:12] ok, cool dsmith...what is booting verbosely? [04:12] dsmith_ there is no mobo vga port, only add-on graphics [04:12] fredmv, so skype doesnt give output? [04:12] panfist: wont need an x-server [04:12] http://heroinewarrior.com/cinelerra.php3 probably the best I could suggest (handholding unavailable) [04:12] is there anything like a Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper Icon Theme pack [04:12] fredmv, try akiga? [04:12] Bossmanbeta, Do I have to compile it :P [04:12] panfist: hmmmm, I would leave the thing in the box [04:12] lol [04:12] codename: it's called human-icon-theme [04:12] * dev1n googles [04:12] wease|: doesn't seem to... I was testing with echo123 and it doesn't seem to work. But the weird thing is that not even gnome-sound-recorder can capture sound... [04:12] dsmith_: set up a dummy user with no privs ... make a key pair for the laptop to do this with ... authorize that key in the dummy user ... cron this: ssh -R 34567:127.0.0.1:22 -f dummy@myhomecomputer [04:12] actually I *think* you can apt-get it [04:12] what happens if you need to get access back into the machine later? [04:12] I haven't played with it in a few yrs so..... [04:13] That's the dapper theme? [04:13] codename: or something very like that [04:13] alex_, i dont think that word means what you think it means [04:13] nickrud, so I you recommend using aptitude to install alternate desktop environments [04:13] how do you configure sound in ubuntu? I have an ensoniq 1371 sound card and can't seem to get any sound... [04:13] dev1n: verbosely is when you set you it so that all the messages show up as you boot [04:13] It has the blue Firefox logo as well right? [04:13] compile is different than installing [04:13] alex_: I agree with you to an extent. It sure is damn nice when you can just sudo apt-get install stuff... [04:13] cause im used to dapper lol [04:13] nickrud, -I [04:13] I suppose you can instal it then turn it off and yank the card, like you do with a crt and keyboard [04:13] cjae: I'm not recommending aptitude in this channel any more [04:13] wease|, compile dev1n: rather than a logo splash screen [04:13] ok, so i should hit f6 when? [04:13] after it hangs? [04:13] egg b4 the chicken [04:13] dsmith_ i will do all access remotely, if i need to access the physical box i would rather just rmeove the hard disks and put them in another known working system. accessing this box through vga is unneccessary, i will never need to do it, and i would rather save power by disabling any video hardware, if possible [04:14] bossmanbeta, im old skewl. compiling requires a lil effort and programming [04:14] :P [04:14] or earlier...when i select the CD to boot from [04:14] ISO dlna-3 server solution? [04:14] hi, does anybody know a shop where they sell e8400 [04:14] i do not want to yank the card. that is bad. no thank you [04:14] nickrud, what's the problem with aptitude? [04:14] codename: might. You'd probably have to go to packages.ubuntu.com , search for the human-icon-theme in dapper, and download it from there [04:14] !who | dev1n [04:14] dev1n: 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 :) [04:14] skapere: lets create a package and sell it for $5, lol [04:14] well I'll take a precompiled kernel any day over that Gentoo B.S. [04:14] dsmith_: if laptop gets stolen, watch for dummy user to get logged in ... if it happens capture its IP then login to the laptop via port 34567 [04:14] !source [04:14] You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html [04:14] the problem with aptitude is that it no longer has super cow powers [04:14] * wease| cries [04:14] uboutu: good idea [04:15] no more cow invader [04:15] can i get an addon with super cow powers [04:15] no more cow screen splash [04:15] wease|, what compile means? [04:15] aptitude just went weird [04:15] lol [04:15] dsmith_: we have to test it first ... send me your laptop :) [04:15] lol [04:15] dev1n: ubotu is a bot, by the way [04:15] mjs: nothing is 'wrong' with it, as one of the official canonical support team members told me, the 'uber-geek' dev are strongly pushing apt-get over it [04:15] prince_jammys: thanks, i didn't know that. [04:15] nickrud, i miss the cow [04:15] sorry [04:16] * sdsheeks hugs ubotu [04:16] i use apt-get anyway so i dont care [04:16] dev1n: you can type the first few characters of someone's nick and then tab to autocomplete [04:16] prince_jammys: sweet [04:16] prince_jammys, great now he is dangerous! [04:16] Skapare: could you everything in laymans terms I kinda get everything you just told me [04:16] wease|: I only saw the cow when I wanted to root out a package hierarchy, like apt-get remove libglib2.0-0 :) [04:16] dev1n: i sent you the message from the bot cuz what you were typing was gettinglost [04:16] what options to put in the fstab for my new /home partition? [04:17] hi there anyone know how i can get my media players to use opengl - seem to be having problems with compiz-fusion and direct rendering meaning videos go orangy [04:17] dsmith_: define layman [04:17] Skapare: that would make an awesome .deb for everyone [04:17] sdsheeks: :) [04:17] Skanoob [04:17] !layman [04:17] Sorry, I don't know anything about layman - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [04:17] Skapare: noob [04:17] help here pls [04:17] dsmith_: needs to just bee a HOWTO [04:17] Skapare: clueful user === _max` is now known as max` [04:17] Skapare: yes, agreed. I dont know how to code or I would create a .deb from what you just told me [04:18] nickrud...sudo aptitude -v-v-v-v-v [04:18] but I think its a great idea [04:18] * wease| frowns [04:18] nickrud, I really never came to a conclusion what was the best, i've read it somewhere that aptitute has better dependencies resolver dunno if that's true, but my favorite is still yum :P me likes the progress bars :) [04:18] they killed the cow [04:18] anyone willing to help a noob [04:18] dsmith_: problem is lots of references need to happen ... like for example someone that doesn't know how to create a crontab entry ... do I need to teach them how to do that, too? [04:18] !anyone | presumptious85 [04:18] presumptious85: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."

[04:19] ok [04:19] anyone know how to fight with the 'device eth0 is not ready' error within firestarteR? [04:19] so i just made an install of a module [04:19] dsmith_: something to learn ... sure there is some GUI app to do it ... else read the man pages and do it from commandline [04:19] from linuxtv [04:19] man pages.. [04:19] Hello, I had Ubuntu 7.10 64bit for a month and all worked fine. Then I reinstalled it (still Ubuntu 7.10 64bit, same live cd install) and now I cant get rid of one big issue: any application i execute will take forever to start. I am talking 10 secs for Nautilus, 16 secs for Firefox). The CPU load and the RAM usage are very low, i cant figure out what is wrong. I installed again to see if there had been some mistake while installing, bu [04:19] :) [04:19] i wanna know wat to do next? [04:19] brb [04:20] Lorenzo_: you probably have a bad /etc/hosts , put a copy on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org [04:20] dsmith_: Windows is the OS for people that don't want to learn how to use a computer [04:20] presumptious85, you created a .deb? [04:20] If I am using screen, and a particular application uses ctrl+whatever, how do I send that while in screen to the app? [04:20] no windows is for windows [04:20] I need help with raid, anybody good at that? I migrated from gentoo to ubuntu, but the setup is different... [04:20] Skapare: YEP, totally agree [04:20] nickrud: ok thanks a lot! I will [04:20] hey all, I'm running Hardy, after the latest update Firefox disappeared from my launcher, anyone else have that problem? [04:20] no [04:20] i took the .bz file from http://linuxtv.org/hg/~hverkuil/cx18/rev/03d4d8d84c4f [04:20] Newbuntu2: 3ware card [04:20] Newbuntu2: should be simpler no ? [04:20] bz2 [04:21] i need help burning the ubuntu iso onto a cd [04:21] presumptious85, did you extract it? [04:21] What is a 'uevent'? [04:21] and followed the instructions on http://linuxtv.org/repo/ [04:21] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> aceraxon, so can u still launch firefox with command line? [04:21] untermensch: what are you running now - what kind of computer is it ? [04:21] yeaa [04:21] i extracted [04:21] what's really scary is my 5.5 year old niece knows how to enable administrator privileges on Windows [04:21] presumptious85, okay then I don't get what your question is. [04:21] wetn to the directory from terminal [04:21] Hardy, I sure can [04:21] i'm using a compaq. with an amd turion 64 processor [04:21] with windows xp [04:21] Skapare: haha, no way [04:21] after i make install [04:21] so you want the 64amd version ? [04:22] and there was no error [04:22] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> aceraxon, so just readd the launcher [04:22] yes [04:22] presumptious85: you want to watch tv on your computer, right? [04:22] I'm using software raid. I used raidtools in the past, and my drives showed up as hdb1 - hdd1; now in ubuntu I only have mdadm, and my drives are sdb-sdd [04:22] i wan to know wat to do next? [04:22] yeaa [04:22] have you downloaded it ? [04:22] yes [04:22] and i have the iso on my computer [04:22] but i can't get it on a cd [04:22] Newbuntu2: get yourself an actual raid card [04:22] ok what burning software do you have ? [04:22] Hardy, will do as soon as I remember the command line [04:22] nickrud: here it is, thank you http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57031/ [04:22] presumptious85: did you search on the internet to find linuxtv? why linuxtv? [04:22] dsmith_: that girl is very smart ... for example she hooked up the new DVD player to the TV ... via RGB component cables ... correctly! [04:22] i tried... nero, some crud that came with the compy, and poweriso [04:22] !enter | presumptious85 untermensch (help keep down the scroll) [04:22] presumptious85 untermensch (help keep down the scroll): Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [04:22] neuro or poweriso should do it [04:22] !hardy > aceraxon [04:22] i tried them both [04:22] didn't work [04:22] Night all. 37hrs on the go, need sleep. I appreciate your time for the port forwarding lesson Skapare, it's something I'm going to look at abit more in depth. [04:23] didn't work for me, or my teacher [04:23] wb Alex [04:23] did you select burn iso to disk ? [04:23] on four seperate computer [04:23] EADG, take care. [04:23] untermensch, download cdburnerxp and choose wrte data cd and then click on file menu and choose burn iso from file [04:23] yes [04:23] dsmith_: I need to get her turned on to Linux ... trouble is, she likes her Dora and Hello Kitty games [04:23] untermensch: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:23] Jeeeeeah! http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/hardy/alpha-5/ [04:23] dsmith_ I need to get my data off it first [04:23] so.... that is interesting - is the iso high quality [04:23] Lorenzo_: what does /etc/hostname have in it? [04:23] Skapare, same with my daughter [04:23] * EADG_ the EADGs have a smile as the 2 extras type /q [04:23] because i had to get the driver for my tv tuner on linuxtv [04:23] confused on that one ? [04:23] how would i know ? [04:23] presumptious85: you can include my nick in your response by just typing the first few characters and the tab key to autocomplete [04:23] Newbuntu2: dump everything onto a usb drive [04:23] check the md5 sum... [04:23] hello kitty games... how .. interesting :) [04:23] hello [04:23] ok [04:23] Bossmanbeta, heh kids love em [04:23] * dsmith_ doesn't have kids [04:23] well what happens when you burn it ? [04:23] prince_jammys: [04:24] dsmith_, have two. [04:24] presumptious85: like that :) [04:24] and then put it in... [04:24] lol [04:24] dsmith_: sure, but first I have to mount it to access the data, right? [04:24] nickrud: lorenzo.laptop [04:24] EADG: goodnight [04:24] presumptious85: otherwise the messages get lost [04:24] yeaa i get you [04:24] should automount if it is formatted to ext3 [04:24] prince_jammys: [04:24] we can tell [04:24] Lorenzo_: edit /etc/hosts , so it's the same (without the .@liberolight) [04:24] * sdsheeks hides [04:24] ok [04:24] ok. i'm a total idiot... how do i check that ? [04:24] * alex__ seeks [04:25] prince_jammys: so yeaa, i got the drivers from linuxtv [04:25] the md5 sum don't worry about that what happens when you put the disk into your computer after you have burnt it [04:25] presumptious85: anyway, what i was asking is why this specific software? i don't know linuxtv, and there's probably easier stuff to install for watching tv [04:25] Type cat vmlinuz > /dev/audio to hear the Voice of God. [04:25] !tv [04:25] http://www.linuxtv.org/ has extensive information about using TV cards under Linux. Available viewers for analog cards: Zapping, tvtime (GTK/GNOME), kdetv (KDE), xawtv, motv. For digital cards: Klear (KDE), dvb-utils. For both analog and digital cards, !MythTV is a powerful framework. Your card may work the !IVTV drivers. See also !TV-Out [04:25] dsmith_: how do I mount the drives? [04:25] presumptious85: ok i take that back [04:25] i click to burn it.. it takes the time to burn it.. says the iso should be on the cd... i go to put it in my computer.. and it shows up as blank [04:25] ireally Bossmanbeta and what happens to vmlinuz after that ? [04:25] presumptious85: :) [04:26] * alex__ waves [04:26] prince_jammys: lol [04:26] really untermensch ? [04:26] lol nothing [04:26] Newbuntu2: as I said if the usb drive is formatted in ntfs or ext3 it generally should come up on its own [04:26] yup [04:26] just a joke ... [04:26] prince_jammys: was about to corect u [04:26] (harmless) [04:26] if not you need to mkdir in .media and possibly edit your fstab [04:26] seems a bit odd [04:26] nickrud: that looks like something that has to do with the Internet connection, does that affect Nautilus and Firefox and all of the other apps? [04:26] yea.. [04:26] it does [04:26] Lorenzo_: did you say lorenzo.laptop, or lorenzo-laptop? [04:26] that's why i'm so conused [04:26] well have you tested it on another computer [04:27] yes [04:27] dsmith_ the problem I have is how do I mount the raid drives to get the data off them. [04:27] prince_jammys: so maybe u understand [04:27] Lorenzo_: that's only used internally by ubuntu, it won't affect internet access [04:27] 3 other computers [04:27] my teacher tried it aswell [04:27] you are buring a cd - which iso image and where did you get it from [04:27] same thing.. could download to the computer. but couldn't burn it [04:27] what version of neuro [04:27] !burn [04:27] CD/DVD Burning software: K3b (KDE), gnomebaker, serpentine, graveman, Nautilus-CD-Burner, GToaster, xcdroast (GNOME), wodim (terminal-based).

[04:27] but I cant get into Terminal anymore, it crashes upon start [04:27] nickrud [04:28] nickrud: ok [04:28] untermensch: go to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto [04:28] nickrud...apt-get moo [04:28] :P [04:28] Lorenzo_: ctl-alt-f2 , log in there, do your work, then clt-alt-f7 to get back [04:28] sudo in here weasel [04:28] brb [04:28] presumptious85: beats me... i don't know this tv business, as you can see === badboy is now known as bad_boy [04:28] lol [04:28] wease|: if it wouldn't scroll, I'd put up the graphic :) [04:28] haha [04:29] \m/ [04:29] i should get to mythtv room === bad_boy is now known as bad-boy [04:29] #mythtv [04:29] presumptious85: what you need is to post a detailed question (all on one line) and someone might know.. it's too hard to read questions when their all split up ... and yeah try that channel also [04:29] * bad-boy ciao a tutti [04:30] hai [04:30] presumptious85: *they're .... grammar lol [04:30] sorey, im not much help tonight. im just here for the fun [04:30] cheeese, i dont remember the last time someone here answer me [04:30] prince_jammys, I stopped correcting grammar...

Then reboot ( sudo reboot) [04:33] konan, speak in spanish i understand it :) [04:33] dunia, they do not have to say ubuntu of course actually would be preferable [04:33] wease|, apt-get moo [04:33] a ok :) de donde sos?

For a complete list of channels in other languages, please visit http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat [04:38] Bricker, try ctrl-altF2 if the display doesn't come up ... then login and sudo vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf [04:38] is this right for my new /home /dev/hda7 /home ext3 defaults 0 2? [04:39] anyone using exaile? [04:39] Hi, all. I've managed to hide the Preferences and Administration menus in the System menu. Is there any way to undo this or launch the Main Menu preferences window from a command line? I tried looking for an answer elsewhere, sorry if this is already written in something. [04:39] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> used to use it [04:39] Bulwinkle, yeah I use exaile [04:39] msj, de que equipo sos alla? [04:39] Bricker, then to get back to the X display... hit ctrl-alt-F7 [04:39] CVD-PR: looks right to me, but you might want to use UUID instead of /dev/hda7 blkid shows the uuid's for all your devices [04:39] msj, what foolball team ? :) [04:39] DiploCat: any idea why it isn't saving my settings? [04:40] konan, enlish channel this one, http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat go there and u ill find spanish speakers channel [04:40] ahh... is there a .exaile/ directory in your home dir?

[04:40] demas [04:40] :) [04:40] nickrud, i dont understand what you mean with the UUID [04:40] DiploCat: yes [04:40] DiploCat: and it contains a settings.ini [04:40] jaja yo tengo 16 :p soy adolescente jaja [04:41] CVD-PR: what version of ubuntu are you using? Gutsy uses uuids, you'd see an example in the /etc/fstab [04:41] !UUID [04:41] To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) === l7_ is now known as l7__ [04:41] === tuan_takur is now known as tempe_penyet [04:41] nickrud, gutsy [04:41] Bulwinkle, if you do ls -l ... does that file looks like it's been updated recently? are the permissions ok? [04:42] Never mind, right-click: Edit Menus did it. XD [04:42] * vonunov lurks [04:42] CVD-PR: the idea behind uuid's is they are permanent identifiers of a partition, if you change your partitioning (causing hda7 to become hda8 for example, by splitting up hda6) you won't have to rewrite your /etc/fstab to match [04:43] DiploCat: -rw-r--r-- 1 bmoore bmoore 1598 2008-02-22 16:42 settings.ini .... [04:43] Bulwinkle, err... what settings isn't it keeping? [04:43] DiploCat: I had to exit manually (quit) it doesn't seem to do it when I just exit Gnome.... [04:44] konan, what's jaja means? [04:44] and why is my clock set to GMT and not my local time? [04:44] haha [04:44] to late [04:44] jaja = haha [04:44] lol, ok [04:44] konan, what is best in life? [04:44] DiploCat: You'll have to pardon me, I'm a KDE convert and so I'm used to Amarok [04:44] hes gone [04:44] best in life = retirement === dunia is now known as jaja-miharja [04:45] Bulwinkle, not entirely sure why it wouldn't keep them after Gnome logout... perhaps it's just bad code [04:45] wease|, u are kind in a hurry no? [04:45] mjs, yes i am! [04:45] To All: SWEEEEEEEEEEET i got it to work i got it to work I can now see my fing windows sharefiles thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you [04:45] ehehe [04:45] Hi! one non-ubuntu question. I wonder if the network address of an ip-address always has a 0 (zero) as the last octet? and if the broadcast-address always has 255 as the last octet? [04:45] DiploCat: for example... when I used to log out of KDE it would kill Amarok and when it started it would start out with the same song at the same place [04:46] !ntp [04:46] Information about using and setting your computer's clock on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuTime - See https://help.ubuntu.com/7.10/server/C/NTP.html for information on usage of the Network Time Protocol (NTP) [04:46] mjs, i am trying to get on a fast track to retirement [04:46] ahh [04:46] hello [04:46] mecko it will if its not subnetted [04:46] Meck0: no [04:46] Bulwinkle, I'm not sure if exaile does that... it should keep the playlist, but I don't think it remembers the place [04:46] wease|, u'll get bored! :P [04:46] bibby, hmm, okay, how does it work? [04:46] once a network is subnetted the net id and broadcast id can change [04:47] to be honest, I'm not a huge fan of exaile... it seems to be the best of a bad bunch [04:47] deep, aha, the network id is always first host -1 and the broadcast is last host (last octet) -1? [04:47] mjs, nah...ill just be worse of a geek than i am now [04:47] i am boreddddddd! [04:47] DiploCat: my problem is that if I logout before quitting exaile, it doesn't remember anything that has changed since the last time I quit. Does that make sense? [04:47] Mecko: sorta hard to explain, each oct. can be up to 255 just depends on how the ip is set. and depending on the adress gives you the subnet [04:48] what happened to dunia [04:48] bibby, okay [04:48] Bulwinkle, well... what you're saying makes sense... but why that is happening I am not quite sure [04:48] dunia is still here [04:48] mecko if the network is subnetted then the net id and broadcast id will change [04:48] Mecko: look up a subnet calculator and mess with it, ull understand after a few minutes. [04:48] DiploCat: no problem, thanks for your help === syc_ is now known as psychode [04:49] you know what, im going to do a fresh install of ubuntu cuz this thing is killing me, and it hates my graphics card anyway :P [04:49] what other music players are there that are as close to Amarok in features? [04:49] thanks for the help guys, talk to you later [04:49] songbird [04:49] \m/ [04:49] bi bricker [04:49] Bulwinkle: banshee and rhythmbox are two popular GNOME ones [04:49] xmms is pretty schweet as well [04:50] nickrud: hi, i am back just to say thank you! You solved my problem, it was bugging me to death. Thanks! [04:50] levander: yeah, I've checked them both out... banshee has promise [04:50] Lorenzo: you're welcome [04:50] mecko try http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb726997.aspx Microsoft explains how to subnet well [04:50] sweet [04:50] ok I went to gnome look and downloaded a gdm tar file and extracted it to /usr/share/gdm/themes and now it is not in login window preferences [04:50] nickrud: none of the people I had talked to so far had been able to help me. I'm glad you solved this, have a nice day [04:51] Bulwinkle: what was wrong with rhythmbox? that's what i'm using, but haven't tried anything else [04:51] now that I can see my network folders time to setup an apache intranet server any sugestions on where to start? [04:51] levander: to be quite honest the only reason I've stuck with KDE for so long was Amarok.... [04:51] deep: sudo apt-get install apache2 , put your html in /var/www [04:51] deep: 'sudo apt-get install apache2' [04:52] deep: buy the server. [04:52] levander: I'm looking for something that is going to be as close to Amarok as possible. I'm looking at songbird now. [04:52] you people need to try songbird. [04:52] what's the difference between the two double quotes in regards to bash scripting? “ and " [04:52] <3 [04:52] I also don't want to load a bunch of KDE stuff in GNOME (just like I didn't load GNOME stuff in KDE) [04:52] Bulwinkle: Why is amarok so great you use an entire windowing environment because of it? [04:52] rilo: the difference between " and what? [04:53] wease|: But it in the hardy repositories, and when hardy is released I will. [04:53] nickrud: http://vrfy.org/log/recent-state-of-udev.html gives a nice overview. -- Thank you very much for referring me to it. [04:53] rilo: I don't think that first one has any meaning at all in bash. [04:53] what is songbird? [04:53] prince_jammys: the slanted double quote, I don't know the name or code for it offhand [04:53] levander: I run compiz-fusion on top of either one anyways... the two have equivalent apps, except for amarok [04:53] levander, it is an easy install regardless of what is in inclusive to the release [04:53] levander: I'm changing now, sue me :) [04:53] rilo: the second one can be used around a phrase so that no shell expansion is done [04:53] levander: well they are in these scripts I'm reading lol [04:53] amarok works fine in gnome though? [04:54] levander: I've read that, what does that actually mean [04:54] Bulwinkle: why is amarok so much greater than rhythmbox? i'm just curious [04:54] i havent had too many problems running it in gnome [04:54] rilo: go to #bash and type !quotes [04:54] rilo: #bash - it's too much to answer in here with all the traffic, i'll come in too [04:54] levander, amarok actually has a lot more options [04:54] levander: mysql, last.fm [04:54] why not sonata ? [04:54] any has tried superGrub Disk http://supergrub.forjamari.linex.org/? [04:54] man compiz fusion is rad [04:55] levander: feel is totally different. [04:55] CVD-PR: yes, it's marvelous [04:55] can i unmount / right know? [04:55] no [04:55] Bulwinkle: i've never been overly impressed with rhythmbox, but it does what i need it to do, maybe amarok is just a lot slicker in how they've arranged the UI? [04:55] you can kill-9 too [04:55] :P [04:55] CVD-PR: you need that to run :) [04:56] oh wait, that doesnt work anymore [04:56] so how ca i use gparted to create a partition from /? [04:56] nevermind [04:56] I'm having some trouble with azureus. I opened it up and I got a message saying to download an update. then when I went to reopen it gave me the option again, this time a window popped up in the corner saying it had shutdown wrong. now whenever I open it it closes within 2 seconds of showing the main screen. [04:56] Hey guys where can I get kiba-dock and a how to install?? [04:56] CVD-PR: get the gparted live cd [04:56] banshee looked a touch better than rhythmbox, but banshee is written on mono, so I stuck with rhythmbox [04:56] levander: it isn't it is just that I'm so used to it and so opposed to iTunes and the way they handle things [04:57] CVD-PR: http://gparted-livecd.tuxfamily.org/ [04:57] I have a problem installing emdebian-tools. 'apt-get install emdebian-tools' fails with 'Unable to determine apt-cache policy for Debian main! at /var/lib/dpkg/info/emdebian-tools.postinst line 132.' I don't know how to get around it. Anyone have thoughts? [04:57] ok Thansk [04:57] Bulwinkle: You're really intimate with your music player apps. [04:57] I'm loving pidgin... although it isn't as feature rich as kopete [04:57] bulwinkle, i concur [04:57] levander: when I listen to music 8 hours a day I get that way [04:57] i love pidgin, i wish it was as feature rich as kopete or aMSN [04:57] alandd: why are you using debian main? [04:58] i listen that much too sometimes, but i like to put it on one thing, like a Pandora station I've made, or a radio program I listen to and jsut let it go, not fuss with it all day [04:58] the problem as I see it is that unless you've used KDE you really don't appreciate what you are missing in configurability with some of the gnome equivalents... [04:59] ah, KPLU . Listen to that all day, no problem [04:59] Hey guys where can I get kiba-dock and a how to install?? [04:59] or KPIG [04:59] is there a keyboard shortcut to open terminal? [04:59] its there a better way to copy old-home to new-home than cp? [04:59] but I really don't use 5% of what KDE does anyways (as a GI) [04:59] bulwinkle, i will argue to a degree...i love KDE but i still am a big fan of Gnome. i will swap constantly between both [04:59] Im also making a big switch in distros so that isn't helping [04:59] is there a keyboard shortcut to open the terminal? [05:00] for some reason [05:00] nickrud: I found debian main for endebian-tools first and tried from there. Then i took it out seeing it could come from ubuntu repos. I guess I may have messed up the repository and mixed dependencies now. [05:00] when i open an app [05:00] wease|: yeah... I've been a KDE guy for the longest but to be honest, if you're running c-f on top, what difference does it make. I can make GNOME looks exactly like KDE and vice-versa [05:00] ? [05:00] alot of the time its possible for it to start with the top bar up off screen [05:01] almost like it thinks my monitor is bigger than it is [05:01] wease|: once KDE4 gets to where it isn't crashing all of the damn time, maybe things will change [05:01] alandd: probably. If you only tried getting that one package, disable the debian repo , do sudo apt-get update and try again [05:01] deep: system>prefrences>keyboard shortcuts [05:01] bulwinkle, exactly. but KDE has been unstable for me so i kept to Gnome so i agree...i am waiting on the stable KDE [05:02] deep: last one in desktop if you cant find it [05:02] wease|: KDE has had issues with stability from day 1 [05:02] hello [05:02] nickrud: That one package pulled a bunch of dependencies at the same time. Now without debian main configured as source, it still errors. [05:02] bulwinkle, i grew ill of the constant crash messages [05:02] back again [05:02] bulwinkle, it worked pretty stable in other distros [05:03] wease|: I don't run my graphical linux system for longer than 8-12 hours at a stretch without rebooting anyways [05:03] so i installed a module and now ubuntu won't detect my video card, how do i reverse this installation [05:03] ? [05:03] wease|: I moved from kubuntu to opensuse and it was MUCH more stable [05:03] bulwinkle, i have kept my system up with graphics for 40 days or until the kernel image needs an update [05:04] wease|: My primary desktop is a laptop so it goes where I go. [05:04] * alandd finds this a very busy channel. :^) [05:04] bulwinkle, KDE worked best for me under suse [05:04] alandd: about all I can suggest is install apt-rdpends, and work your way through, switching to the ubuntu version from the debian. [05:04] * bibby waves [05:04] argh [05:04] alandd: not an easy task [05:04] how do you get messages from ubotu? [05:04] i'm screwed [05:05] nickrud: Well, I made the mess now I get to clean it up. [05:05] wease|: I'm on day 5 of my ubuntu experiment [05:05] uptime[2h 38m 42s] [05:05] anyone get emerald themes to work on Hardy yet?

Now whenever I open it it closes within 2 seconds of showing the main screen. The update seemed weird because it mentioned OSX but I wasn't sure. [05:05] bulwinkle, i stick to usin the tower cuz i like to pick it apart and change it on the fly as needed hehe [05:05] aceraxon: yes [05:05] nickrud: thanks :) [05:05] MilitantPotato: now, in the window that opened, type ati [05:05] aceraxon: what problem are you having?

I have compiz and emerald but nothing to gets the themes running [05:06] bulwinkle, name them and i have tested them [05:06] Hey is there a way to read microsoft help files in ubuntu(.chm files) I have some ubuntu ebooks in that format [05:06] deep: gnochm [05:06] a better cp way to duplicate a folder contents to another folder?

[05:10] i think i set up compiz right for the cube [05:10] but when i activate it [05:11] thinman1189, how are you pwn'd by google? [05:11] prohna: Do you have compizconfig-settings-manager? [05:11] it just zooms out and i get four desktops in a row on the screen [05:11] instead of a cube [05:11] need some help getting a Dapper theme in 7.10 [05:11] who suggested songbird?

It appears that apt-rdepends shows various dependencies. Having found the 'broken' ones, I'll have to 'apt-get remove' them as I go, right? [05:12] prohna: Also make sure that you have the Desktop Cube plugin enabled and the Rotate Cube plugin enabled. [05:12] no change [05:12] todd: system->prefs->session [05:13] both are enabled [05:13] when i hit ctrl alt left arrow [05:13] the screen rotates [05:13] like a cube [05:13] pro [05:13] i just cant zoom back and see the cube [05:13] prohna: Do ctrl+alt+leftmosebuttin [05:13] wease|: nickrud found the azureus channel using google and told me to try there. thus, I was owned by google.

[06:07] wow...that's a lot of people [06:07] simplyubuntu, I've done something similar with my iRiver. [06:07] Was a pain, but I eventually got it to work.

[06:43] nickrud it was Neutralise [06:43] devrethman: most chipsets support WPA... [06:43] is there something like apt-get or aptitude that I cal install a downloaded package which isn't in the repos, and it will sort out the dependencies .. I used gdebi at home but the server has no GUI [06:43] it doesn't show up in the dropdown in the wireless thing [06:44] speeddemon8803: no worries mate; he knows who did it [06:44] and somebody earlier (cwillu) said it might be cause my chipset doesn't do it [06:44] devrethman: thats... odd [06:44] I didn't think that made much sense, butI'm going with it anyway [06:44] Err, is it possible to update wine without removing my C Drive...? like from source [06:44] i've got an older laptop [06:44] i listed my reason why not to do it :) oh well water under the bridge :) [06:44] with an 802.11b [06:44] no G or anything [06:44] my wine is still ver 0.9.46....and i want to update to 0.9.55 [06:44] zcat[1]: dpkg -i packagename.deb?

[06:47] Toshiba sattelite 5105-S901 [06:47] Reenen: just start your torrent client again [06:47] if it's come down to looking up specs, i can do it [06:47] did you start the .torrent in azerus? or what? [06:47] icesword, did you get my query? [06:47] Darkmystere, you follow the read me [06:47] or did you just download the .torrent to your computer? [06:47] devrethman: does ifconfig return anything like wlan0? [06:47] Starnestommy: no it doesn't, I just checked [06:47] I have no idea what that is [06:48] because remember kids: the .torrent only lets your computer find the file. It isn't the file itself [06:48] eth0 and eth1 [06:48] I only have one ethernet card, so one of the is wireless [06:48] Darkmystere, usually ./configure [06:48] and it works fine on WEP [06:48] so the card itself works [06:48] I'll bet it was azerus... I'll try it [06:48] can I use aptitude or apt-get but install a deb that I have in ~, not in a repo? [06:48] * speeddemon8803 sits in the room and doesnt say a word to anybody...aparently thats what im supposed to do ;) [06:48] nope [06:48] Darkmystere, if you don't have some packages,it will stop , and ask for it [06:48] no result when az{tab} in terminal [06:48] devrethman: is there a hardware switch on the machine to control the wireless? my laptop has one [06:48] like how I could use gdebi except as I mentioned, this is on a server and has no gui [06:48] zcat[1]: use sudo dpkg -i [06:49] yeah, it's on [06:49] the card is working fine [06:49] it sees the SSID [06:49] I'm having some trouble with azureus. I opened it up and I got a message saying to download an update. Then when I went to reopen it gave me the option again, this time a window popped up in the corner saying it had shutdown wrong.

[06:49] I just connect and it says "this network is encrypted" [06:49] nickrud: it wants a shitload of dependencies.. gdebi takes care of them fore me.. there must be something in the command line that can do the same job [06:49] devrethman: the card is working just wont get wpa is that it? [06:49] and WPA isn't one of the options [06:49] yeah [06:49] exactly [06:49] Darkmystere, you must uninstall the former install mannula === carlo__ is now known as carlo [06:50] I don't even know if WPA is working, the only way I know how to use wireless is through that wirelss assistant [06:50] I hate it, so It's not something I've become an expert in [06:50] devrethman: then you will need to do it via cli [06:50] icesword, so backup my fake C: Drive and then reinstall it.. [06:50] thinman1189: move the .azuerus folder to a location on your desktop and open it again. It will reset all your options, but it will regenerate the folder [06:50] Darkmystere, you must carefull y read README [06:50] bazhang: okay......... [06:50] is there something like aptitude install --local-package=~/whatever.deb instead of having to get it from a repo? [06:51] icesword, its talking about a patch....all i really see about update [06:51] does anybody ubuntu under virtual pc 2007? Can't figure out how to copy text from it to the main machine [06:51] devrethman: I have had very mixed results with the network-manager; another option for gui would be to try out wicd [06:51] man cli redirects to man mono, which AFAIK isn't a wireless anything [06:51] zcat[1]: sudo dpkg -i testname.deb [06:51] zcat[1]: you can use https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Personal to create a local repo, then apt will pull in the dependencies [06:51] nickrud, where is cn.archive.ubuntu.com,i am installing base system.now at 6%:( [06:51] GSF1200S: I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling both with add/remove and with synaptic (full remove).

[06:53] zcat[1]: after trying sudo dpkg -i testname.deb, try sudo apt-get -f install [06:53] devrethman: just a moment let me check something [06:53] bazhang, then i have to reinstall:( [06:53] the package name is "bittorrent" [06:54] Reenen: Yes, I know [06:54] hmm, ok... [06:54] hmmm thinman1189.. I had the same problem, and removing that folder worked for me, so I would try it. Obviously something isnt being completely removed... [06:54] Hey, that worked... yay!! thanks. [06:54] Reenen: Try running it with gnome-bt-download (I think that is correct) [06:55] zcat[1]: yeah that automatically retrieves all dependencies that dpkg couldnt find trying to install the deb package [06:55] Odd-rationale: Oh, I see... but it's not continuing the download [06:55] http://www.ventanazul.com/webzine/articles/fix-wireless-connection-problem-gutsy-gibbon devrethman look at this [06:55] Reenen: Or Unhide it from your gnome menu. [06:55] icesword: nay; just restart the update with the new repos enabled [06:55] What would you guys say the best lightweight IM client is? gAIM? Or is there something superior? [06:56] where will it save the "bittorrent" metafile? [06:56] bazhang, are you from tw? [06:56] Reenen: Open your torrent and point it to your half-donwloaded file [06:56] aye icesword [06:56] fredmv: pidgin or kopete IMO. [06:56] fredmv, pidgin btw [06:57] icesword, thanks synaptics wasnt showing the updates for wine but doing an sudo apt-get upgrade showed the update and its doing it :), Would you know why my network manager applet doesnt show if i reboot i have to reinstall it (its still installed) but to be able to connect to internet i need to reinstall it to get the applet back... its adding a new applet every time could this be a malfunction with the applet? [06:57] i pinged the tw.ubuntu.org.com.it is 300ms [06:57] hmmm: Error: Got bad file info [06:57] I'll look into Kopete. Thanks guys. [06:57] Reenen: Maybe you do. :) [06:57] Darkmystere, not sure [06:58] icesword: just a suggestion; you cn connection may pick up--mine usually slows down then speeds up again [06:58] Odd-rationale: Thanks... [06:58] quick question... i'm thinking of upgrading my video card. Given that the only graphic intensive things i'll be doing is playing WoW, running MythTV frontend, and possibly running Compiz Fusion/Beryl, which manufacturer's card/driver has the best support/performance on a linux machine? ATI or Nvidia? [06:58] Odd-rationale: I'll restart it, it was only 10mb in [06:58] Man, SDL is a freaking headache. [06:58] icesword, it gets annoying having to go into synaptics and reinstalling it every reboot just to use internet...its just about the only netowrk manager ive tried that works for me wifi-radar never worked for me neither kwifi-manager [06:58] nvidia noclue [06:58] Reenen: no p [06:58] hey all, i've been messing around with my vid drivers and xorg.conf file today, and i just realized that NO videos are playing... trying vlc and mplayer... just get a screen of green static, with sound [06:58] Darkmystere: you tried wicd? [06:59] does that sound familiar to anyone? [06:59] thanks... [06:59] they were working fine yesterday [06:59] final answer everyone? thanks bazhang [06:59] saff what happened in the meantime [06:59] bazhang, i never could get it installed kept saying it meshed with network-manager.. [06:59] Darkmystere, what you use to get online now [06:59] bazhang, i've reinstalled my nvidia prop drivers many, many times [06:59] noclue the ati is a real pain to get working; trust me on this ;] [06:59] with different methods [06:59] bazhang: haha okay. thanks a lot! [06:59] anyone know why this is not working?! http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/i386/linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-8-386/filelist [07:00] and really messed around with xorg.conf... using a custom one, and various generated ones [07:00] Darkmystere: want a link? [07:00] icesword, network-manager...it has 3 applets open for some reason...it adds one it looks like everytime i reinstall [07:00] it's the same whether or not i use compiz [07:00] bazhang, i have source and package [07:00] Darkmystere: a how to? [07:00] and it's cross-vid format... [07:00] hi, is there any way to do videochat over in ubuntu? [07:00] bazhang, sure [07:00] .avi, .mp4 [07:00] .mpeg [07:01] http://www.ventanazul.com/webzine/articles/fix-wireless-connection-problem-gutsy-gibbon Darkmystere [07:01] how would I search all files in the system for a certain string via grep? [07:01] (yeah, I'm a newb) [07:01] saff when you say 'different methods' what would those be? [07:01] fredmv, a sting in the file, or part of the file name? [07:01] in the file... [07:02] bazhang, the ubuntu restricted manager, envy, and by hand [07:02] Darkmystere, no,i mean what link you use,adsl? [07:02] Darkmystere, what app do you usually use to gain ip addr? [07:02] dchp [07:02] icesword, yea [07:02] bazhang, i've been trying to get my drivers working properly... i thought i was back at square one till i noticed this video problem [07:03] This SDL problem is killing me... [07:03] saff and then you removed the previous ones before installing subsequently? care to pastebin your xorg-conf? [07:03] dhcp* [07:03] sure 1 sec [07:03] icesword, dhcp [07:03] Darkmystere, dhcp,that is it,but do you have to use some apps to to dial or something to gain ip addr? [07:03] bazhang, http://pastebin.org/20853 [07:04] icesword, no i dont think network-manager does it all.. [07:04] saff, are you familar with this type of problem: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=703137 [07:04] it's killing me [07:04] this is the closest answer I've found: http://www.devolution.com/pipermail/sdl/2001-October/039456.html [07:04] but it's still not working for any [SDL] games [07:04] Darkmystere, oh,i got it,you got the link plug in,then you get online,right [07:05] fredmv, no clue man [07:05] icesword....., i just used what was installed by default although i did accidentally install the VPN Plugin [07:05] fredmv, looks like a bizzare problem [07:05] sorry they aren't helping you much on the forums [07:06] When I open alsamixer, and try to increase Front Mic and Mic Boost on the capture tab, it resets when i open alsamixer again. Thus I can't use my mic. Any suggestions? [07:06] Darkmystere, did you have some program running that conflicted with your system,like input method [07:06] bazhang, any ideas general? [07:06] saff: it's all good. I appreciate you checking the thread out. I guess this is what makes Linux so fun.. lol. [07:07] fredmv, haha you got it [07:07] saff just a moment, looking at my xorg.conf ;] [07:07] recompiling the SDL source again as we speak but with 'make distclean' [07:07] frustrating as hell, but once you fix it you feel like a champ [07:07] Absolutely. [07:07] hey guys [07:07] icesword, err...i did try and run a partioned installed OS from Vmware Workstation...and my file system was complaining about read-only and i had to do fsck on /dev/sda5 (ubuntu partion) from Backtrack 3 beta...and then it wasnt reconizing the group root.... [07:07] sure beats the stagnant, brain-melting feeling of Windoze [07:07] Darkmystere, for now,i am not sure what caused your problem,eccept your give a better description [07:08] icesword, i tried it with root privs... [07:08] bazhang, sure thing professor, i've got all night [07:08] icesword, running hte partion in VMWare Workstation that is [07:08] When I open alsamixer, and try to increase Front Mic and Mic Boost on the capture tab, it resets when i open alsamixer again. Thus I can't use my mic. Any suggestions? [07:09] Darkmystere, you told me so much,but i am still not sure what is your problem?:( [07:09] hi guys, how do you remove a PPPoE connection? [07:09] icesword, it was acctually complaining about unknown usr group "root" [07:09] Thank for your help icesword [07:10] np [07:10] :) [07:10] can anyone help please? [07:11] My ext3 partition has 7GB "free" that is not "available" for me to use. What is using this space? How can I recover it so it can be used? [07:11] * speeddemon8803 backspaces my "ask" flag as i see you did ask :/ [07:11] !pppoe [07:11] Setting up an ADSL/PPPoE connection? Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ADSLPPPoE [07:11] I have have a folder on my main partition (ntfs) for torrents and when I copy them to my music partition (fat32) I seem to lose ownership of them and my media player doesn't pick them up when it scans. It didn't used to do that, any thoughts? [07:11] i have a problem: adept notifier keeps telling me i have an update. when i get the update, it says update complete, but the adept notifier is still there. when i click it again, it gets the same update, then tells me its complete...and the process continues. NOTE: i've already done 'sudo apt-get -f install' [07:12] sean_, fat doesn't support ownership [07:12] when you say "media player scans" [07:12] saff: Why can't Songbird scan them then? [07:12] you mean like to add to a library? [07:12] yessir [07:12] two thoughts occur.. [07:13] 1. the fat partition isn't getting scanned [07:13] or 2. you dont have the right permissions [07:13] It scans stuff fine when I extract it from archives to put there [07:13] Much like your mother? [07:14] not sure i know what you mean.. it does scan some stuff on the fat partition, but not everything? [07:14] please dont do that here Liempt [07:14] Yup. Everything that was already there is fine, it's just the new stuff, specifically the new stuff I took from the ntfs partition [07:14] what i mean is, can you manually add songs from the fat partition to your player? [07:14] Please don't do what here? [07:15] insult people [07:15] your mother [07:15] I was just saying it was hard to understand. [07:15] yeah, but i need to remove my pppoe connection. [07:15] anyone here use songbird? [07:15] elbermungsterses, look at /etc/ppp/peers/ [07:15] sean does [07:16] :-P [07:16] icesword, well....i cant seem to get a game called lastchaos to run in wine... its soppose to work by default with the 0.9.55 version [07:16] sean this is getting over my head... when you copy them from your ntfs partition, do you own them? [07:16] When I go to add the folders in songbird the folders are gray, all of them in the fat partition are. but some of them get added when I do the whole drive [07:16] I would assume so yes, I'll check [07:16] tryin to get songbird workin, but not sure how much ppl here use it [07:16] yeah I do... [07:17] Darkmystere, wine is not a end solution,if you cannot forget your games,i recommended you go back to win [07:17] Just make a songbird folder in your home and extract everything there then run songbird, it's pretty straight forward [07:17] could you get the album art working? [07:17] no i can get it running [07:17] but i cant view album art [07:17] Nope, but I haven't tried [07:17] icesword, yea...but its rated platinum and windows doesnt want to boot right now.. [07:17] icesword, i havent been in windows in just about 3-4 weeks [07:17] do you have the albumapplet add-on? [07:17] ok sean so you transfer a song from ntfs to ext, then to fat [07:17] yea [07:17] !pastebin [07:17] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lines 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 channel topic) [07:17] and you can't view it? [07:18] yea just dont know how to turn that view on [07:18] saff: no, it never goes to ext [07:18] icesword, here's the terminal output if i try and run it [07:18] straight to fat [07:18] where is the root trash directory? [07:18] Darkmystere, cannot boot windwos,what caused it,will you give a better description [07:18] prasanna: yeah I havent ben able to either [07:18] well, technically permissions shouldnt even enter into the equation, afaik [07:18] oh ok, cause they claim you can [07:18] Darkmystere, just give me msn? [07:18] except mount permissions [07:18] but i have yet to find someone who was able to do it [07:18] anybody uses Prozilla ? [07:18] check the mount permissions in your /etc/fstab [07:18] icesword, simple, i was foolish enough to take a pieace of a windows install with Gparted [07:19] you want to make sure users can read/write to your partitions [07:19] Darkmystere, wait [07:19] or maybe just read, whatever you prefer [07:19] icesword, and to anyone who can help here's terminal output. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57036/ [07:19] http://paste.stgraber.org/894 saff here is mine; yours seems to have some issues--you can compare [07:19] "defaults" [07:19] Well hello mayteeees [07:20] is looking for a good download accelerator and resumer [07:20] can anyone explain what this process "system-tools-backends" is doing running all the time? [07:20] on the ntfs partition it says i'm not the owner just like the fat partition [07:20] Hi. Anyone know the difference between "free" and "available" disk space on my ext3 partition? There seems to be several GB of space I cannot access! [07:21] sean_, yea, the files dont have owners, but you still need permission to read/write to the partition [07:21] Darkmystere, your msn is not online [07:21] saff, whats up holmes [07:21] bazhang, glx is the only module you load? [07:21] icesword, oh lol i forgot was logged off for a sec [07:21] heyyy ph0rensic [07:21] still alive [07:21] Hewus: the filesystem has to use space for stuff too [07:21] # /dev/sda5 *line break* UUID=F889-2C34 /media/sda5 vfat defaults,utf8,umask=007,gid=46 0 1 [07:21] saff aye [07:21] like journaling [07:21] still messing with X [07:21] saff, thats good ... whats the word? [07:21] saff, really? good lord! [07:22] saff, nvidia card right? [07:22] hmmm I keep seeing stuff that tells me how to port forward based on knowing my WAN ip, but can I set a rule that works regardless? [07:22] saff it seems that there are some 'leftovers' from what ever envy did [07:22] yea man it's a never ending joke [07:22] Hewus: so you can't take up all the space on the drive, or the filesystem wont be able to do what it needs to do [07:22] yea nvidia 7600 [07:22] thundercles: I'm missing 7GB on one partition. Any idea what it's being used for, and how I could go about recovering it? [07:22] bazhang, no, envy didnt touch my xorg.conf [07:22] Ugh, messing with xorg.conf is the most annoying thing ever. lol I have a 7800 [07:22] well how big is the whole drive [07:22] thats all nvidia-xconfig [07:22] thundercles: I would have thought a few MB was reasonable for this purpose. FAT doesn't seem to have the same issue [07:22] saff, hmm yah where did we leave off last time? I believe you said screw the restriced manager yo were using envy right? [07:23] how do i give X a custom resolution in ubuntu? I looked in xorg.conf where i would normally expect to see resolution listings and I see none. I go into display preferences from gnome's menu's and I see 3 resolutions listed. I guess my question is also if gnome believes that these three resolutions exist where does it store this list so I can edit it? [07:23] ext2 defaults to allocating like 10% or something to root, which doesn't show up as free in df -h [07:23] no, on really big drives, the filesystem tends to need more space [07:23] ph0rensic, yea, tried envy, installing by hand, and the restricted-manager [07:23] saff well there are just a ton of modules in yours; that eludes me how they got there [07:23] hello all [07:23] yeah, all the exts do that too [07:23] they do allocate filespace just to root [07:23] only thing that seems to work for me is uninstalling with restricted, cleaning up with envy, then installing by hand with the nvidia installer [07:23] need some help [07:23] saff, I still think that when you tried the restricted manager there must have been something left over from envy [07:23] Fuzzy: Why do you want a custom resolution? Can't you just take an assigned one from System > Admin > Screens And Graphics? [07:24] Fuzzy: check the logs, its probably auto detecting. gnome just lets you change resolutions that the window manager is configured for [07:24] i think something was left over by the nvidia installer [07:24] it's an lcd wide screen tv with vga input [07:24] can u tell me where to find a RTL8187 drivers? [07:24] anyone got Geforce 8400 nvidia problems [07:24] it uses a special resolution for it's native resolution [07:24] saff yeah might be that as well [07:24] i get this weird problem where when i start X, the "nvidia" module it loads is different than the X version [07:24] Hewus: that is actually what I'd try [07:24] so i have to rmmod nvidia [07:24] then when i start X [07:24] sean_: how do i add to that list? [07:24] Fuzzy: be lazy and google a modeline for it ;) [07:24] it loads a different module [07:24] When I open alsamixer, and adjust my microphone capture input (default 0). It does not stick when I restart alsamixer. Can anyone help me? [07:24] i have also nvidia problems [07:24] and it works [07:25] Hewus: I'd go into the options for that partition, and see if it'll let you scale down the space saved for root [07:25] I usaully don't mess with filesystems much when they are made [07:25] after they are made I mean [07:25] Fuzzy: Hmm, there are no resolutions at all in xorg.conf? [07:25] but the xorg.conf which i would normally expect to have these resolutions listed has none. last i checked X wouldn't boot without a resolution [07:25] but in the good news, i got direct rendering=yes [07:25] sean_: want a pastebin? [07:25] sure [07:25] heck if your running 7.10 [07:25] saff, I basically use what the distro has setup to use if at all possible and if not, I build from source or try to find another repo somewhere, that way I can always have apt remove the files if something goes wrong [07:26] look it's the default x.org for 32bit [07:26] thundercles: neither. but I have a lot of space around on my system. My 200GB partition has 10GB I cannot use, which I think is unreasonable. Any idea where these options are? [07:26] * TrustNoOne hugs everyone in the channel [07:26] Hewus: but usaully they do things like that for good reason, if the partition is your root partition, I wouldn't use up too much of the space allocated for the root [07:26] but yeah 10GB is quite a bit [07:26] yea... i should do it from source. i think the problem is that i just cant clean up well enough.. something is getting left behind [07:26] ummm yeah, go into the options for that partition [07:26] Fuzzy: I'm running a modified one on 64 :-P [07:26] despite my purges and envy cleans [07:27] thundercles: it happens on every partition, on creation. I have about 6 ext3 partitions over my drives [07:27] yeah it does that [07:27] sean_: no worries, i'll pastebin [07:27] alright [07:27] Hewus, and it's not really important for partitions not system critical [07:27] saff, If you use apt to install stuff, you can clean everything, but if you don't you can have problems removing what was done [07:27] Fuzzy: the installer made one for you, because the default is no xorg.conf ;) [07:27] When I open alsamixer, and adjust my microphone capture input (default 0). It does not stick when I restart alsamixer. Can anyone help me? [07:27] * bazhang recommends pastebinit to everyone [07:27] hi people can u tell me where to find drivers for RTL 8187 [07:27] ??????? [07:28] saff, You probably dont want to reinstall and start with a fresh restriced setup no? [07:28] mage__: how do i get the installer to remake it? [07:28] Heuws: I'm pretty sure the point of it is that if you fill up your hard drive and the root can't even write do it, then you'll have some issues like not being able to download and install critical updates [07:28] ph0rensic, i really don't, but i'm afraid that's what it will come to [07:28] thundercles: I have partitions just full of data (like the 200GB one) and that 10GB could really be useful :S. Sorry, where are these partition options? [07:28] what was that channel for talking about random stuff? i feel like being random [07:28] this install has been a little wonky since i upgraded from edgy eft [07:29] saff, Fortunately the install doesn't take anywhere near the windows install! [07:29] thundercles: my root partition isn't an issue, I'm happy for it to have its allocated space. It's my data partitions which are much larger that I need the space for. [07:29] Fuzzy: ATI or nVidia? [07:29] tharsis is that the madwifi atheros rtl8187 or the ralink rtl 8187; they changed chipsets midway through [07:29] VIA [07:29] Hewus: well, when you make an ext3 filesystem, that's where I generally set that kinda stuff and don't really mess with it after that, but it's probably [07:29] EPIA [07:29] Fuzzy: whats the native resolution [07:29] mini-itx [07:29] saff, Oh yah dist-upgrades seem to have problems.. atleast ones from especially edgy [07:29] you're using gnome? [07:29] yea...i actually enjoy reinstalling linux most of the time. [07:29] When I open alsamixer, and adjust my microphone capture input (default 0). It does not stick when I restart alsamixer. Can anyone help me? [07:29] ph0rensic, depends, sometimes can take just as long depending on disc speed that it was burnt to, disc drive speed, hard drive speed etc..., mine was on 4x disc, took me a while to install [07:29] 1366 x 768 [07:29] k [07:29] Hewus: you might consider using a non-journaling filesystem like ext2 instead of ext3 [07:30] Hewus: because that's what's taking up the space [07:30] thundercles: yes. I've just made some more using gparted. [07:30] #ubuntu-offtopic TrustNoOne [07:30] i have a problem: adept notifier keeps telling me i have an update. when i get the update, it says update complete, but the adept notifier is still there. when i click it again, it gets the same update, then tells me its complete...and the process continues. NOTE: i've already done 'sudo apt-get -f install' [07:30] anyone here know how to manually set the screen resolution using the command line? [07:30] astro76: ah ok, thank you! [07:30] saff, Yah I would certainly recommend getting the gutsy disk [07:30] ph0rensic, yea i heard upgrades are bad business, but i really wanted to keep my setup [07:30] Oooh, that's tough. [07:30] TrustNoOne, I suppose your right.. real fast for me though [07:30] in my Apperance -> Visual Effetcts i have now "none" but it looks really shitty when i close a window [07:30] nvidia-settings is really nice. :-\ [07:30] DDragon: reconfigure or write manually? [07:30] which is the most lightweight? icewm, fluxbox or jwm? [07:30] actually ph0rensic maybe this latest problem means something to you [07:30] saff, Gutsy has been best desktop for me so far, well worth the clean reinstall for me === Liempt is now known as StevenMacGregor [07:31] astro: that's what I thought at first too [07:31] where can i find nvidia-settings ? [07:31] bazhang: reconfigure [07:31] since messing around with X, i just noticed that i can't watch videos... [07:31] flux Lartza_ [07:31] Astro: that it was the journaling [07:31] bazhang, thx [07:31] just get a green static screen [07:31] Why the .dmrc get corrupted? [07:31] saff: i got that to yesterday [07:31] whats the difference between flux and jwm? [07:31] sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg DDragon [07:31] Astro: but I'm pretty sure it is the space reserved for root usage only, and ext2 does that too [07:31] tried different videos (avi, mpeg) [07:31] http://pastebin.com/m698f9d1a [07:31] and different players [07:31] saff, hmm weird... and you have all the codecs? [07:31] nios, oh yea? [07:31] is it possible to use the Ubuntu RDM drivers for nvidia chipset graphic cards and use the nvidia drivers configuration? to specifically enable TwinView for a KVM switch on a Laptop??? [07:31] Fuzzy: I'm not sure how it works but maybe you could use nvidia-settings ? [07:31] thanks bazhang [07:31] Lartza_: you can google for screenshots [07:31] ph0rensic, yea, was working fine even earlier today... just been messing with drivers [07:32] Astro: the filesystem wont display the space used for journaling even as free space [07:32] saff: i had a geforce 6100 but now i try with geforce 8400 [07:32] Can someone please help me get my microphone working? [07:32] thought maybe i lost something in linux-restricted, but they're installed [07:32] Astro: and with a lot of data to sort through, I would use journaling if I were wanting to slog through alll that data [07:32] saff, what do you have on your setup that would take a while to get it back after a reinstall? [07:32] saff: nvidia are really shitty for ubuntu [07:32] Hewus [07:32] nios, no way dude [07:32] saff and win32codecs from medibuntu in there as well? [07:32] thundercles: I would too, and I wouldn't worry about 5% of my hard drive ;) [07:32] nios, way better than ati [07:33] nios, I've never had a problem with my nvidia card and ubuntu all the problems seem to be from ati [07:33] nios language please [07:33] ? [07:33] bazhang, yea both.. like i said, it was working even a few hours ago [07:33] i've just been playing with the drivers [07:33] astro: do you know where you can edit options for the filesystem after it's created tho, cause that's what Hewus needs [07:33] aha [07:33] and my xorg.conf [07:33] astro76, thundercles: I just made an ext2 partition of 67GB to test, and 1.1GB is immediately used :S. It has a lost+found folder there, is that using the space somehow? [07:33] ugh too tired too think [07:33] bazhang, what to do after i finish base system install? [07:33] Hewus: no a lost and found folder wont [07:33] saff, All this time messin with the drivers, could have had done a reinstall with clean dist disk and be over it [07:33] I run nvidia-glx-new [07:34] driver [07:34] Hewus: did you make sure you didn't allocate any root only space? [07:34] thundercles: I just made one in gparted, as simple as it can be done [07:34] ph0rensic, yea you're probably right. just stuff like the apps i've compiled by hand [07:34] but still wierd lines sometimes when i watch a xvid [07:34] getting Flash working on 64bit firefox [07:34] it's just a drag to redo [07:35] Hewus: it should be one of the filesystem options when you make a partition in gparted [07:35] !ops | #ubuntu-offtopic [07:35] #ubuntu-offtopic: Help!

[07:35] yello [07:35] I dont find any nvidia-settings [07:35] saff, What apps?? [07:35] ubuntu is not using swap how do i force it to do so? [07:35] icesword: for the minimal install? [07:35] I NEED DRIVERS FOR REALTEK RTL 8187 [07:35] bazhang, yeah [07:35] actually, i haven't even restarted since i got this problem [07:35] Pirate_Hunter: do you have a swap partition and an entry in fstab for it? [07:35] brb, gonna try a restart [07:36] saff, ok [07:36] what is the .dmrc? [07:36] is it possible to use the Ubuntu RDM drivers for nvidia chipset graphic cards and use the nvidia drivers configuration? to specifically enable TwinView for a KVM switch on a Laptop??? [07:36] Pirate_Hunter: if so then: swapon -a [07:36] icesword: well that is up to you--what DE do you want? what apps, etc? [07:36] astro do you got a private IM, I actually have an installation question you might be able to help me out with? [07:36] http://pastebin.com/m2dc9884b [07:36] astro76: yes i do i will try swap on [07:36] brb and ty bazhang [07:37] thundercles: ask in here, if I can't help someone else might [07:37] bazhang, that you mean ,i can do apt-get install?i wanna apt-get install gnome-desktop ,is it ok? [07:37] WGGMk, yes [07:37] astro76: swapon -a gave me nothing [07:37] ya i give up, i mean i jus spend 30 min tryin to get songbird album art working [07:37] and nothing [07:37] Pirate_Hunter: how do you know the swap isn't enabled? [07:37] thundercles: no options about space being allocated to root, just what type of filesystem and its size [07:37] well, basically the device manager detects my SATA HD and RAID controller, but /dev in the terminal and gparted sure arn't, anyone encountered this? [07:37] Pirate_Hunter, is it a new swap partition? [07:37] WHAT adress is that nios [07:37] ph0rensic: is it just nvidia-settings? are they installed with RDM? [07:37] WGGMk, you should be able to do so .. haven't tried with kvm yet though dont know why it wouldn't work [07:37] is there a way to get Broadcom NetXtreme BCM5756ME network adapter working on 6.06 [07:38] WGGMk, you talking to setup twinview? Best bet is to edit the xorg.conf [07:38] icesword: you want to sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop for the gnome one [07:38] astro76: it used to be enabled but i had to edit fstab because i was adding new hds however i dint touch swap [07:38] ph0rensic: the issue im having is I can see everything on the Laptop and the LCD Monitor attached to the KVM switch. But once the X server starts the KVM Switch monitor goes blank (No Signal) [07:39] cwillu: no same partition as always in hd0 [07:39] Hewus: hang out for a minaute unless someone else chimes in on this, I'm in gparted myself, but I gotta wait until I can get gparted to recognize this SATA HD before I can get into filesystem options [07:39] Is that with twinview setup?? [07:39] bazhang, yeah i want the gnome ,but how big is it [07:39] Pirate_Hunter, hd0 or hda0? [07:39] Pirate_Hunter: if you changed things on that drive the UUIDs could change, use the blkid command to get the new ones and edit fstab [07:39] which is what I came in here for in the first place [07:39] !uuid | Pirate_Hunter [07:39] Pirate_Hunter: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [07:39] Pirate_Hunter, that's a weird looking device regardless [07:39] Pirate_Hunter: are you verifying if swap is enabled with the free command? [07:40] icesword: how much space you got? [07:40] WGGMk, are the nvidia drivers installed and twinview setup? or does the second monitor just clone your screen in shell? [07:40] bazhang, 4g [07:40] Hewus, what IM do you have? I'll give you a sn for it and I can try and find out for you from some of my friends on IM the answer to your question, I just don't use gparted very much to make partitions and filesystems [07:40] icesword: well that should do; pretty tight squeeze though [07:41] astro76: /dev/sda3: TYPE="swap" UUID="fbc5832c-254c-486a-b134-145d06d31eb3" well thats what it shows dont know what to do [07:41] ph0rensic: im gonna give it shot with TwinView but i gotta run for now.. thanks for the info bud.. im not sure if its already enabled [07:41] astro76: i dont even know if swap is on or off but it should be on [07:42] Pirate_Hunter: check with the command free, if it lists swap then it's on [07:42] Pirate_Hunter: if not, then verify that UUID matches the one in your fstab [07:42] astro76: what is this supposed to mean? Swap: 979956 0 979956 [07:43] and I'm back :P [07:43] astro76: it just shows that im not using it but i should even if i have 2GB ram [07:43] Pirate_Hunter: free -m would list in megabytes, that's in bytes [07:43] Pirate_Hunter: it shows it's enabled and you are not using it, *because* you have plenty of ram [07:43] thundercles: jabber/XMPP and msn [07:44] msn mine is gul_dan14x@hotmail.com [07:44] message me there [07:44] astro76: well what about now and yeah i thought of that but before even with the same amount of ram it still used swap - Swap: 956 0 956 [07:45] is there a way i can increase the font size of wine emulated programs ? [07:45] solike, i installed some recommended packages (libc etc) so I could install my nvidia driver. I opened terminal and did sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop to close x server [07:45] and run terminal to install it, but then it just shuts down X and nothing else. my monitor says "shutting off in 5seconds" cuz it doesnt detect anything [07:45] Pirate_Hunter: I don't understand your question, but everything is normal [07:45] it worked before restart, any suggestions? [07:45] opera dont recognize anymore the flash plugin, how to repair? [07:45] Pirate_Hunter: remember swap is slow, you *don't* want to use it, with 2GB of ram I never swap [07:46] astro76, how much swap have you set aside? [07:46] /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so? [07:46] astro76: if you say its normal than im :D well if thats the case than i wont be taking your time any long ad thanx for the info on swap [07:46] * DiploCat set 2gb of swap, with 2gb of ram... and it's turned into a wasted 2gb cause it's never used [07:46] bazhang, i have a strange problem which puzzled me for a long time,coz i cannot ping other computer in my same ip range,and get respond.always time out?what is causing it [07:46] how do i check if Capture 1 in alsamixer is connected to my microphone device? [07:46] DiploCat: if it weren't for playing with hibernation on this laptop, I would have used between 512MB and 1 GB [07:46] back, yea movies work fine [07:46] just needed a reboot lol [07:47] brb going to swap hd for a sec [07:47] astro76, ahh yeah, hibernation... never thought of that... though rarely use it [07:47] been screwing with this poor install pretty badly, its bound to be pretty fubar by now [07:47] DiploCat: my non-laptops use about that [07:47] saff, haha .. too bad your x is still jacked though?? [07:47] ph0rensic, yea :\ [07:47] just ran glxgears... i'm getting 5fps [07:48] 5fps ftl :( [07:48] how do i check if Capture 1 in alsamixer is connected to my microphone device? [07:48] yea no kidding [07:49] and compiz works, but a bunch of the effects are choppy... but nvidia mod is loaded, and i'm not getting any complaints in xorg.0.log, dmesg, or anywhere else [07:49] how do i fix packages manually? [07:49] anyway, next weekend i'll do a fresh install [07:50] icesword: you finish the ubuntu-desktop install? [07:50] is there a way to get Broadcom NetXtreme BCM5756ME network adapter working on 6.06 [07:51] bazhang, no,i am right now at base 75% [07:51] saff, Wanna see a screenshot of my desktop? [07:51] sure [07:51] http://www.flickr.com/photos/24040049@N05/2284837943/ [07:51] how can I close X Server and run in terminal? [07:52] cuz when i close it, it doesnt run in terminal [07:52] bazhang, is saving languauge,has been there for a long time [07:52] icesword: lets solve this first problem then get the second one next okay? [07:52] ph0rensic, is that over 2 monitors? [07:52] Bricker: ctrl+alt+F1 through F6 for the six virtual consoles [07:52] bazhang, yeah,i know you are busy [07:52] Bricker: then if you want to shut down x from there, sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop [07:52] so, prob like F3/ [07:52] DiploCat, Yah, I dont see the hard color change line because it is [07:52] oh you bastard. that is nice [07:52] icesword: nah, just like to take things step by step ;] [07:53] astro76: should I not use /etc/init.d/gdm stop then/ [07:53] ?* [07:53] how do i check if Capture 1 in alsamixer is connected to my microphone device? [07:53] it is nice [07:53] Bricker: that's fine too [07:53] same thing [07:53] alright, thanks boss [07:53] although not sure about the top bar stretching across two screens [07:53] how do you have the two moniters going? what card? [07:53] saff, hehe I got my setup how I want it, and most of the theme packages saved to disk in case I have to format or reinstall [07:53] i'm thinking about getting another 7 series and using SLI [07:53] saff, nvidia 7300GT I think [07:54] thing did it again! avastye [07:54] maybe i'll adjust the Hz [07:54] saff, I have no problems running compiz + movies + effects with my nvidia over dual screens and I dont sli... unless you want a gaming rig, its a little overboard IMO [07:55] ok, after i finally DO get this graphics card installed, how can I make sure that after every restart, it boots to that card and not the onboard. cuz that was my problem prior to fresh install [07:55] how do i check if Capture 1 in alsamixer is connected to my microphone device? [07:55] saff, You like my avant navigator? Took about 3 hours to find all and replace the generic icons [07:55] duno if this is the right place to ask, but any one know of a gameboy advance emulater that would work with debian or any linux distro ? [07:55] Bricker, You could disable the onboard in bios?? [07:55] mm, never tried [07:56] suppose i could [07:56] DanThirst: i know of them for win32, but not linux, sorry [07:56] Bricker, that is your best bet.. I always disable that thing the second my gfx card goes in [07:56] sounds like a plan, hoping my bios will let me [07:56] Bricker, how about just commenting out that section of xorg.conf ? [07:56] Bricker, maybe he could VM windows then use the emulator in it? [07:56] * Bricker loves having a KVM for quick-switching ;D [07:56] true [07:57] Bricker, hehe how may boxes you have? [07:57] ph0rensic: what gfx card do you have? [07:57] kinda defeats it :p [07:57] www.davillageidiots.com/pics/desktop.jpg thats my current desk config [07:57] nios, Did you see the pic of my desktop? [07:57] ph0rensic, man it's too sexy... [07:57] ph0rensic: nope [07:57] then i have a couple laptops and old PC's laying around [07:57] nios, its geforce 7300 GT [07:57] nios, http://www.flickr.com/photos/24040049@N05/2284837943/ [07:58] re sis [07:58] akou kanis?

[08:00] it keeps doing it, when i do ctrl+alt+F(1-6) it just kills something. the monitor goes black and it says "off mode in 5seconds"...wtf? why wont it go to terminal [08:00] what is the .dmrc [08:00] sorry [08:00] ph0rensic: i bought just a simple card yesterday Geforce 8400GS and i have problem when i watch a movie in vlc [08:00] I Tried a screenshot during a cube rotation and I pushed the wrong button and logged out [08:01] I use latest nvidia-glx-new [08:01] nios, install through the restricted manager? [08:01] any ideas on getting it to goto terminal ph0rensic? it seems to just go black and monitor cuts off [08:01] ph0rensic: yep i did [08:01] ph0rensic, lol [08:01] ph0rensic, how does cube rotate work with dual head? [08:02] do both moniters go to cube? [08:02] Bricker, what up? [08:02] anyone use Fluxbox as their primary WM? [08:02] saff, You can rotate individually, but I have both as one big cube [08:02] sweet [08:02] hi, i have a slight problem with networkmanager. [08:02] when i hit ctrl+alt+F2 to goto terminal, my monitor goes black like its going to terminal, and then cuts off. it wont goto terminal properly. where can i edit the properties of terminal so its not "out of range"? [08:02] ph0rensic: is that bad or good ? [08:03] buenas [08:03] oki have my screen back but i cannot go higher than 800 X 600 resolution but i could before. any ideas?? [08:03] hi, im trying top run a command in the terminal but it sais i dont have permission, how 2 unlock that and become root again? [08:03] Bricker, are you using compiz by chance? [08:03] wait nevermind [08:03] nipzor, sudo [08:03] sudo [08:03] nios, its good, I use the zoom feature so I can see the cube better when it rotates, it also turns semi transparent [08:03] ddragon: make sure you have the correct monitor chosen if the driver is correct [08:03] the tray app doesn't show "enable wireless" and wireless connections since i creted a PPPoE connection. [08:04] cwillu, just sudo in front of that command? [08:04] nipzor, yep [08:04] cwillu, apt-get purge wine-doors -> sudo apt-get purge wine-doors [08:04] nipzor, yep [08:04] Bricker Im not sure precisely where you would want to look, I'd imagine it would be in xorg.conf but Im not sure [08:04] Err, im back would there happen to be a 2008 Version of compiz-fusion..the site doesnt show much and i dont really know my compiz-fusion version just used the version that came with ubuntu [08:04] ph0rensic: i dont want any cubs or so just normal in visual effects [08:04] ive done that but none of my settings will stick for some reason im doing it all through root so i dont know whats happening === Fatsas is now known as Zorikos [08:04] cwillu, okay ty [08:04] kk, i'll check it out [08:04] nios whats the card again 8400?

[08:05] fredmv, no sorry [08:05] bazhang: to set the monitor i use the Screens and Graphics tool right? [08:06] ph0rensic, thanks man, this SDL stuff has been killing me. No one seems to know what to do. [08:06] ddragon: that would be one way--are you having resolution problems still? [08:06] yeah [08:06] nios, Im sure that card is just fine, My old card was about those specs and it works great [08:06] bazhang, is it （support) your job? or something interest? [08:06] fredmv, what is SDL hehe [08:06] basically a graphics lib for linux [08:06] icesword: haha job? just for fun ;] [08:06] i got it working with 800 X 600 but all i have listed is 800 x 600 and 640 x 480 [08:06] A _lot_ of 3D games use it. [08:06] ph0rensic: cant you take a fast look on my xorg.conf please -> http://pastebin.com/m2dc9884b [08:07] and I can't get it to work. [08:07] fredmv, Ahhh [08:07] bazhang, for fun,your fun is so different [08:07] is there a way to get Broadcom NetXtreme BCM5756ME network adapter working on 6.06 [08:07] !ot | icesword bazhang [08:07] icesword bazhang: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [08:08] fredmv, Did you have to compile it from source [08:08] Hi! [08:08] icesword: care to join #ubuntu-offtopic ;] [08:08] bazhang, never mind it [08:08] nios, What am I looking for now, whats the problem? Just that videos wont play?? [08:09] I've generated my gpg key, but still get the key-signing error.. while doing debuilb -b. [08:09] http://paste.ubuntu.com/4914/ [08:09] !PGP key [08:09] Sorry, I don't know anything about pgp key - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [08:09] bazhang: you said it was one way to use the Screens and Graphics tool. whats a better way? [08:09] checkinstall is the way to build .debs? [08:09] ph0rensic: i dont play games. just watch movies [08:09] ddragon, edit xorg.conf by hand [08:10] ph0rensic, I tried installing it via apt-get/synaptic and compiling it [a couple times] still to no avail. the weird thing is that it _used_ to work for some games, and then ever since I tried running sauerbraten, I can't get any SDL-based games to work [08:10] nios, right but whats wrong, what am I looking for [08:10] ddragon: for multiple monitors or the single monitor resolution? [08:10] ph0rensic: i get sometimes when i watched prison break yesteday wierd lines and so [08:10] that got me to where i am now ph0rensic [08:10] bazhang, Pici: Hi. I discovered the source of the problems, although i'm not completely sure (it was the harddisk), but i used SpinRight and Western Digital Diagnostics "write zeros" on it, and now have Ubuntu and it's been running a whole night without hassle! [08:10] ph0rensic, here's what I've tried : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4385541 [08:10] single monitor bazhang [08:10] wow I have way too much to look at [08:10] Arelis: good to know! [08:10] lol... [08:11] ph0rensic: vlc with no codec pack i use [08:11] ddragon, so whats up your display is jacked? [08:11] ddragon: you did the sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg? [08:11] nios, do you have all the codecs downloaded (libdvdcss2, w32codecs, ubuntu-restricted-extras) [08:11] ? [08:11] aaf [08:11] well it was working properly a few days ago b4 i tried to install a restricted nvidia drie (which is no longer installed) and it gave me resolution problems and im still having them now [08:12] bazhang: yes i have done that [08:12] ddragon, yes do the dpkg ^^ [08:12] ph0rensic: ok, i'm in recovery mode, runlevel 1 or w/e. if i do telinit 3 it takes me back to GUI, should I try to do telinit 2? [08:12] ddragon: and what is the issue now? do you have the proper drivers installed? mind posting your xorg.conf to pastebin? [08:12] is there a program out there where i can download complete websites, including the linked downloads? [08:13] Bricker, that i couldn't tell you [08:13] Hi... i've just started Gusty to be told the signal is out of range. It was working fine before it was switched off yesterday. I have an on-board nvidia graphics card. Any ideas? [08:13] bazhang: how do i get the info to paste?? [08:13] alooohaaaa...... [08:14] chazco, resolution settings could make it say out of range [08:14] quit [08:14] okay, i have a problem. wireless networks won't show up on networkmanager and i can't enable it either. can anyone help? [08:14] ph0rensic: no idea, should i install them? [08:14] anyone know what pkg the X11 dev libs are under? [08:14] Bricker, sorry man Im not that in-depth in my knowledge yet [08:14] ph0rensic - I didnt change them so a little unsure... can enter text mode, but not sure what to do next [08:14] nios, install what now?? [08:14] (libdvdcss2, w32codecs, ubuntu-restricted-extras) [08:14] its all good man [08:14] its 3am so im wiped out [08:14] ima goto bed, finish in the morning [08:15] night [08:15] thanks for the help all [08:15] ddragon: well I just install pastebinit and then cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | pastebinit you can do it manually as well--the advantage to pastebinit is that it posts it for you automagically and then you just post the pastebin link it gives you here [08:15] nios, oh haha yes do that, go to medibuntu.org to find how to add the repos.. the ubuntu-re one is ready right now for you [08:15] ok ill try that (install pastebinit [08:16] bazhang, hey thats pretty nice [08:16] ph0rensic: okay brb reboot [08:16] ph0rensic: still drooling over your rig; I have that same card but nothing as nice [08:16] chazco, true so it says this on boot? [08:16] dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg -- seems to fix it, but now i have a nvidia splash screen... [08:16] Yep, when it usually starts the gnome login screen [08:17] ? [08:17] Text + usplash works fine [08:17] bazhang, its just a dual monitor and Ive spent some time getting wallpapars and themes [08:18] very nice ph0rensic [08:18] bazhang, thanks.. I can point you in the direction of the files if you like it [08:19] chazco, You can set splash screen to off in xorg.conf [08:19] Just ran nvidia-glx-config was seems to have turned it off.... stuff still looks slightly different though (fonts mainly) [08:20] Think I may need to reinstall from scratch [08:20] chazco, probably not but easiest yes.. you have gutsy? Check out my desktop Gecorce 8400G === klownish is now known as klown [08:20] what's the package for google earth [08:20] ? [08:20] chaz ahh hold [08:20] jangari its in medibuntu google-earth i think [08:20] ph0rensic - Its not to bad to reinstall, i have a script that restores most stuff and a seperate /home [08:20] chaz http://www.flickr.com/photos/24040049@N05/2284837943/sizes/l/ [08:21] medibuntu, right, cheers [08:21] chazco, Nice, what did you use to make that script [08:21] ph0rensic - gedit? [08:21] jang np [08:21] Nice desktop :) [08:21] !googleearth [08:21] Google Earth is now available, for free (only as in price), for Linux, too. To download it see http://earth.google.com/download-earth.html - A package for Ubuntu is available in the !Medibuntu repository [08:21] chazco, gedit? === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [08:21] Yep, just wrote it manually [08:22] Its a string of apt-get, dpkg and some confiuration commands [08:22] chazco, you referring to the xorg? [08:22] Nope, that normally sets up by itself during install [08:22] Totally lost as to why it suddenly stopped working earlier [08:22] bazhang: http://paste.stgraber.org/922 [08:23] man, i'm impressed with how lightweight ubuntu is, i've liberally been installing software and my entire installation is still only about 3GB, compared with 5GB for an installation of windows with next to nothing on it [08:23] Its running at 1440x900 (which is right) but not how it should look [08:23] chazco, ohhh I got ya .. I just remember hearing of a script that does that .. so you copy all the hidden files in home too ? [08:24] chazco, I have heard that copying your home to a separate partition is best for back purposes [08:24] ddragon: no drivers for that card? you would be best served using the restricted driver manager and installing some [08:24] ph0rensic - /home is on a seperate partiton. I just tell the installer to ignore it and everything in it remains as it is [08:24] bazhang: mind the monitor i have is a SyncMaster 957df [08:24] hmmm [08:24] anyone help please? [08:24] Jangari, yup... Windoze is a hog. [08:24] i tried that and thats what started he problem :S [08:25] ph0rensic - My script configures stuff thats not in /home, or shouldnt be backed up in the fashion [08:25] ill try the restricted drivers again [08:25] Does anyone know where the X development libraries are located? [08:26] is there a way to setup a static ip in nm, for wireless [08:26] anyone having problems with azereus on amd64? [08:27] msingh, Umm I dunno I haven't tried it yet.. just reinstalled to 64bit I could test it if you want? [08:27] ph0rensic, i've just installed it for the first time here .. and it crashed on runtime [08:28] msingh, Ok Let me download real quick and see [08:28] msingh: how about transmission; that is much lighter imo [08:28] ph0rensic, cheers. i think im seeing the same error as this fellow https://bugs.launchpad.net/azureus/+bug/93769 [08:29] msingh, is there a 64-bit version to download? [08:29] ph0rensic, not sure, i just installed it using apt-get without doing anything special [08:29] brb gotta reboot [08:29] msingh, Oh really? Last time I had to compile it and it worked, but that was on 32-it [08:30] ph0rensic, ah i see. nah i didnt compile anything, just apt-get install azereus [08:30] msingh, Ok maybe you might try compiling it [08:30] I'll try the apt way first though [08:30] ok [08:31] Has azureus always been in the repos? [08:31] OK, this is very likely a newb problem, but why the hell is it that when I try to compile source via 'make distclean' that it just prints back to me the (what appears to be) bash script that executes when I use the command rather than actually executing it? [08:31] ph0rensic, dunno [08:32] is there another good client to try? [08:32] transmission, deluge ktorrent msingh [08:32] deluge is _sweet_ [08:32] Err, Guy who told me about wicd thanks it pwns :) [08:32] isn't transmission going to be default in Intrepid?

I'm running Gutsy on an old Dell Dimension 4400, on which I have fitted 3 different IDE disks. Why are they declared as /dev/sd[ac] on my system, and not /dev/hd[ac] ? Thanks [08:35] klown, Source forge [08:35] Darkmystere: thanks. [08:35] ddragon: now try the sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg again [08:35] klown, the one that has 2008, in the date [08:35] msingh, I remember that happening to me on the 32 bit .. i downloaded the source and compiled it myself and had no problem, just try that would be your best bet really [08:36] klown, i can get you a link if you like..or i could upload my .deb package that i have [08:36] argh - I have a screen problem...

[10:32] .deb is from Debian right ph0rensic ? [10:32] Nitroray, yes [10:32] afancy, what are you trying to install? [10:32] i want to install flash plugin on my seamonkey browser [10:32] hey guise whats going on [10:32] Nitroray, .deb is the form of debian packages, which ubuntu uses [10:32] Because Ubuntu is based on Debian, And debian on Linux? [10:32] lol [10:33] ph0rensic, I just read that java6 does not support firefox64 [10:33] Nitroray, Yes but debian is linux, it is one of the many distributions or flavors of linux [10:33] Yes.

[10:34] what is the xpi? [10:35] RooNey? What for you use Java, Online for some site or offline? [10:35] afancy, I think that is the mozilla install files [10:35] Nitroray, online e.g. facebook photo upload [10:35] noone know how to fix this?

[10:36] rahul_: via Wine but which CS3 photoshop or dreamweaver? [10:36] RooNey, Would firefox say firefox 64? Or does firefox auto d/l the 64-bit if my system is 64 bit [10:36] Nitroray, I installed icedtea7java version but it still doesn't work well in facebook [10:36] Strange. [10:36] rahul_: they aint fully support.... I run DreamWaever 8 that way and it works okay.... [10:37] cs2 works on wine. what about cs3??? [10:37] afancy, I haven't used that one, but they should have something similar to get extensions like firefox right? [10:37] ph0rensic, if you have a 64 system, most pro'bly you've got a firefox64, unless you make a force-install of a 32bits version [10:37] RooNey: Why dont you un-install that Java, go again to the site with mozilla firefox, and wait untill it says: Install Missing Plugins? [10:37] RooNey, Ok, let me see if my flash is wkg then [10:38] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> rahul_, ps cs3 is not working yet under wine w/o some works [10:38] Or do some updates.

[11:07] and tried to ask the question then, but no one would answer, then I started answering questions :( [11:07] hey does anybody knows how i can set my wallpapers to random choice at startup ? [11:07] and tell me about it, the only reason I have this SATA drive is cause XP wouldn't touch it [11:07] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> AfroRowan, wp-tray? [11:07] so the owner of it gave it to me [11:07] freenode.net [11:07] whats that [11:07] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> google it [11:08] the weird part is that I installed FC6 on this drive on that computer to make sure the drive even works [11:08] how to capture youtube videos in firefox browser [11:08] thundercles, hmm.. dont most motherboards now a-days have mostly sata and 1 ata?? [11:08] thenI bring it over here and I have trouble with FC6, Debian, and now Ubuntu [11:08] i have a nero *.mdf dvd image, how do i mount it as a virtual cd ... i forgot ??? [11:08] ph0rensic if I can settle into Ubuntu with ease I may do a dual boot system and just use windows for gaming [11:09] yes, it has two IDEs [11:09] pawalls, download the extension..downloadhelper i think its called [11:09] but I don't want to thrash around in any of those HDs to make room for a fresh install [11:09] cause I'm a data packrat and all of my IDE drives are full of unsorted data :( [11:09] NetEcho, ubuntu IMO is very easy to work with..then again Im not too in-depth into the crazy bash programming and what not.. dualbooting is a cinch to set up with xp [11:10] that's why I was stoked when I found this drive that I forgot I had, and found the SATA controller built into the mobo I didn't know existed [11:10] oh yea [11:10] in ubuntu [11:10] ph0rensic just not easy to setup with XP on a Raid array supposedly lol [11:10] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> pawan, after u watch the video, don't close/switch it, the flv file should be in the /tmp [11:10] apperently not easy to set up a raid array period :( [11:10] NetEcho, haha yah you could have problems with that [11:10] BASH scripting is fun [11:10] actually BASH uses the same syntax as BASIC [11:11] and yes automating stuff with BASH scripts is very useful [11:11] thundercles, haha yes raid has given many people trouble [11:11] thundercles depends on the controler [11:11] my mobo has an onboard controller [11:11] -l [11:11] yeah, this one is onboard too [11:11] so the raid array took me like 2 minutes to setup [11:11] NetEcho, Do you do any python programming? [11:11] just getting windows to install without a floppy drive was interesting [11:11] how do i mount a dvd image ?? [11:11] but it is via, and via doesn't like to play with others well [11:12] ph0rensic not really [11:12] NetEcho, what raid you use? [11:12] just the image not on a drive willscarlet? [11:12] ph0rensic RAID 1 [11:12] I mean not on a DVD? [11:12] like you have an iso [11:12] NetEcho, so thats what, just mirror? [11:12] willscarlet^^, use acetoneiso [11:12] the image is a dvd image ..... on a dvd in my dvddrive [11:12] yea [11:12] well I'd try acetoneiso, I've only done it in console... [11:13] but if that doesn't work I can tell you how to do it in the console [11:13] willscarlet^^, the easy way? download gmountiso [11:13] hmm i found drapes in add/remove is that also a good wallpaper randomizer ?

[11:15] well anyways NetEcho, the controller appears to be working fine [11:15] I modprobed and all the proper modules are running for it [11:15] and udev is managing the drive on it and is reporting it [11:15] I just have no idea how to use udev, it's been like 4 years and I used it on gentoo last [11:15] thundercles nice [11:16] nice? [11:16] whats nice about his drive not wkg? [11:16] hmm i found drapes in add/remove is that also a good wallpaper randomizer ? [11:16] AfroRowan, dunno try it, if it doesn't work get rid of it [11:17] lol [11:17] I usaully like to use the net to see what packages I think I'll like before even getting them off a package manager, it helps you not get crappy packages [11:17] AfroRowan, http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2005/12/01/random-wallpaper-in-gnome/ [11:18] because lord knows my other computer running server programs on debian's whole 8 gig root drive is full of nothing but packages [11:18] Hi all, I need help: I cannot change the numbers of desktops [11:18] gnome or kde? [11:18] slider [11:19] where do I add daemons in ubuntu?

[11:21] o [11:21] damn it turned grey [11:21] well [11:21] slider, probably use the ccsm to change it [11:21] ok, I'm trying... [11:21] what happened ? [11:22] is there a app where I can see the daemons and kernel modules? [11:22] ack, same with mine, If it's like that when I'm done installing I'll have to change that too [11:22] AfroRowan, Did you try that site i gave u [11:22] and oh yeh, remember that gnome calls them "workspaces" not desktops [11:22] thundercles, you install drape too? [11:22] drape? [11:22] yes ph0rensic [11:22] yes there is floppy [11:23] but it's in the console [11:23] i've installed a program through wine ... if i wanna uninstall it i only must delete the relative installation folder in C:Programs ? [11:23] it's in the console ps [11:23] where I can choose the number of desktop in ccsm? [11:23] that will show you what's running [11:23] weltall [11:23] i've installed a program through wine ... if i wanna uninstall it i only must delete the relative installation folder in C:Programs ? [11:23] slider, I think it is in the general section [11:23] hello everyone, i just now upgraded from a 2 year old crap geforce card to a brand new GT 8800 , but im having trouble configuring my drivers to work, i got no 3d acceleration and can only take 640x480. my old card worked with a driver in "restricted drivers manager" but i cant select that for my new one.. keep in mind im new to linux [11:23] are you from CWCheat ?

[11:25] because the ubutnu repo can't distribute the nvidia drivers without their permission [11:25] thundercles, Id reccomend him using the restricted manager [11:25] hey, how much space would I need to mirror gutsy/main? I can't see it anywhere on the internet, after a bit of googling? [11:25] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> lollo, if that program has an uninstaller, it should work [11:25] who?

[11:30] [Gutsy]TuTUXG, so it's not a problem if i keep them there ? [11:30] or start it if it isn't even started yet [11:30] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> lollo, no [11:30] jojojoojjo thc ;) [11:32] slider i think there is one that says horizontal spaces .. set that to 4 [11:32] what if my ccsm don't change the desktop number?

[11:41] hi all, the sound just stopped working on my comp...any ideas? it's not the headphones [11:42] stupidwhiteman, have you checked the system-preferences menu on sound? [11:42] hello [11:42] I'm running xfce how do I get there? [11:42] what kind of sound card are you using [11:43] how to download youtubevideos [11:43] open up the console [11:43] MrStein, I believe the answer is no ints not supported because of the proprietary drivers, but yes it will work [11:43] how do I check if my ubuntu install is 32 or 64 bit? [11:43] thundercles, okay [11:43] pawalls, I told you, download downloadhelper from the firefox get extensions [11:43] pawan: checkout youtube_dl [11:43] well what kind of sound card are you using first swm?

(yes, I know about the licence "wars") [11:43] I'll find out what you are modprobing for [11:43] sami, please dont type that stuff in channels... some people may accidentally take it as advice [11:43] Or copy the tmp files while watching [11:43] thunder, sorry for the delay, I am doing an experiment in the mean time. The router works fine, the computer I am using is connected to the same network. The problem is definetly on my computer, since once obtained an IP address it stops talking with the network. If i ping whatever address, there is no network activity (no packets sent). The strange thingh is that the card receives packets from the network [11:44] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> pawan, install miro [11:44] elkbuntu: hahaha seriously? [11:44] I'm not sure, thundercles [11:44] ummm well can you open up the device manager [11:44] and find out real quick?

[11:46] well try modprobe [11:46] installed now [11:46] and after it put [11:46] lets see [11:46] is debian the biggest distro out there in terms of application count?

[11:48] halo [11:48] no you don't need the name [11:48] actually try this [11:48] mahogny, yes, more than likely it is 32 bit.. if it was 64 it would say x86_64 after UTC [11:48] modprobe -l *alsa [11:48] if you have a card and it'd working with alsa [11:48] something will show up [11:48] yes [11:48] what shows up?

[11:53] and run aplay -vv thewavfileyoufound.wav [11:53] yeah, there should be a bunch of system .wav files [11:53] so the installation files " .deb " are suitable with ubuntu ? [11:53] oaky [11:53] My sound volume is much lower after upgrading to Kubuntu 7.10! I have tried adjusting the volume in both alsamixer, aumix, kmix, etc, but none of it helps. How do I fix this? I do not even know how to investigate this problem any further. [11:53] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> lollo, as i can tell [11:53] guys I need help :| I can't connect to the Internet and It was workin when it was LiveCD [11:53] it doesn't matter what it is, but this is the alsa player that's part of the drivers running your sound [11:53] hello world [11:53] thunder I'll be back in half an hour. thank you [11:54] hi [11:54] Hi. Anyone here use XFS and gparted able to quickly check something for me? [11:54] who will help me? [11:54] if aplay doesn't work then it's definetly a problem with alsa [11:54] okay [11:54] if it does play it's a problem somewhere after there [11:54] what bothers me, is that everything was fine 30min ago [11:54] yes, that is weird [11:55] I was listening to an mp3, hit pause, came back, and nothing works [11:55] I'm not used to things spontaneously not working in linux, but I've been hearing that a lot here [11:55] anyone know what initiates the restricted manager to tell you there is a device that needs restricted drivers? [11:55] uhm .... when i open the deb file it says " an older version is avaible in a software channel " .... uhm what does it ean ? [11:55] aplay -vv [11:55] right? [11:55] yeah [11:55] then the name of the file.wav [11:55] I'm trying to install Gutsy 64bit, and I can't get a GUI. I get the boot screen, the loading bar, then I see a corrupted screen of the loading bar, then just a flashing prompt. Gutsy 32bit boots and gives me a gui just fine, could it be something with my ATI card? [11:55] from how it broke it sounds like it's a problem not with alsa [11:55] <[Gutsy]TuTUXG> lollo, it means the pkg in ubuntu repo is older than this one [11:56] did you try running anything else that plays sound besides the thing you were listening to sound on? [11:56] lollo: That means that the version you are installing might not be supported yet, since the one in the software channel is older. [11:56] uh ok so it's better if i keep that one thx [11:56] I do have some problem setting up xserver-xorg with openchrome [11:56] yes, i'll risk :s [11:56] oh, actually swm, I bet whatever you were running is tying up the alsa server and not letting anything else use the sound card [11:57] hello :) [11:57] do you remember what program you were running when it stopped working? [11:57] I am trying to see the log file for X, it seems to get overwritten by the fallback utility for Ubuntu 7.10 [11:57] okay aplay looked like it worked, except no sound [11:57] I was running xfmedia player [11:57] mozilla [11:57] xchat [11:57] well I mean the xfmedia player [11:58] firefox I should say [11:58] I restarted the comp twice [11:58] okay, first close up xfmedia player in the desktop as well as you can [11:58] I can not change the xorg.conf to the openchrome driver nor to the via one though I installed the openchrome driver. [11:58] now run ps in the console [11:58] if xfmediaplayer [11:59] shows up in the processes and you think it's not running, there's a good chance it's tying up your card [11:59] correction the X server doesn´t start correctly with the openchrome or the via driver and sends me to the fallback utility for X configuration. [11:59] PID TTY TIME CMD [11:59] 5168 pts/0 00:00:00 bash [11:59] 5227 pts/0 00:00:00 ps [12:00] can somebody help me with a livecd - apache - no images problem? [12:00] hi can anyone help me with tor please? I am using vidalia and tor on ubuntu with torbutton on firefox [12:00] well did aaplay work? [12:00] did you hear anything with that? [12:00] it looked liked the program run, and played the .wav, but no sound [12:00] hrm, you can stop the program with ctrl-c btw [12:01] how can i remove a directory ? rm and then ? [12:01] neopsyche, what u trying to do [12:01] lollo, rmdir is the command to remove empty directories [12:01] I have loaded the required module, I have edited xorg.conf to change the graphics driver to openchrome or to via. [12:01] !nexuiz [12:01] Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php [12:01] ph0rensic I'm actually considering stealing the drive from this system and putting it in my mini-itx system [12:01] hrm, we're gonna set up your alsa then real quick swm [12:01] only empty ? [12:01] that will fix it almost certainly [12:01] well 1 of the drives [12:01] NetEcho, nice, what do u use that for? [12:01] ph0rensic, I am trying to surf websites that seem to be blocked by my isp.. as well as anonmymise myself on the internet.. i would also like to be able to use torrents which it seems are throttled down to a data trickle. [12:02] Both drivers failed to start the xserver with my desired resolution. [12:02] cool thanks again, thundercles [12:02] Please help. [12:02] i wanna remove a folder with some files within [12:02] ph0rensic: the mini-itx system is gonna be a nas/server [12:02] neopsyche, so tor and whats the other one? [12:02] NetEcho, ahh sweet...freenas? [12:02] ph0rensic,vidalia [12:03] ph0rensic I'm considering a homemade NAS setup since freenas doesn't really allow you to run a fully capable linux system [12:03] ph0rensic, ubotu vidalia [12:03] neopsyche, vidalia is what now? Are you trying to get the thing setup or are you having problems wit it [12:03] unless I misread [12:03] brb [12:03] hi all [12:03] NetEcho, thats cause freenas is UNIX [12:03] ph0rensic,i am having problems with it vidalia is a gui for tor and privoxy [12:04] ph0rensic BSD right? [12:04] NetEcho, yup [12:04] does it allow you to compile your own crap? [12:04] How do I mount a FTP folder? The "connect to server" option does not work because it uses passive instead of active FTP. [12:04] neopsyche, you have it setup globally or just in firefox? [12:04] cause BSD has some stuff to be compatible with linux [12:04] alright swm [12:04] k [12:04] do what's on this page [12:05] http://www.arsgeek.com/?p=971 [12:05] NetEcho, that i dont know...but i hear nas server isn't best way to share data ..slower than samba or whatever [12:05] do you have IM [12:05] ph0rensic,firfox [12:05] seems no one knows the topic. [12:05] ph0rensic yea thats probably true [12:05] I just need it for backups [12:05] does anyone here has trouble with microphones under gutsy? [12:05] stupidwhiteman20 on aim [12:06] neopsyche, Ok I have setup tor a few times, never used that vidalia app, not needed since tor button contains all the data you need [12:06] alright, I'm gonna message you in a minaute, I'm about to head off this IRC [12:06] thanks alot thundercles [12:06] if that page doesn't solve it, we'll figure it out, but it should [12:06] neopsyche, probably have to edit your config files for privoxy and refresh the daemon [12:06] aiight [12:06] ph0rensic,how do i do that? [12:06] ph0rensic: You can reach a NAS though samba if you want to. Depends on what the NAS can handle [12:06] neopsyche, lemme see if I have a page for you [12:06] ph0rensic,ok [12:07] neo http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2006/11/02/how-to-install-tor-privoxy-kubuntu-606-610/ and get rid of vidalia :-) [12:08] hi. how can i reinstall grub if i installed windows after ubuntu ? [12:09] first install windows [12:09] !grub | Tiven_ [12:09] Tiven_: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [12:09] (if it's a dualboot) [12:09] thx guys [12:09] what is the .rpm file ? is it suitable with ubuntu ? [12:09] tThomas, if possible yes, but if not he needs that [12:09] !alien | lollo [12:09] lollo: 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) [12:09] lollo, no ubuntu uses the .deb packaging system [12:09] phorensic, ok [12:10] lollo, Dont use alien if you dont have to [12:10] thx kissù [12:10] How do I restore the Kmenu in Kubuntu to its default settings?

I can't really uninstall libc6 since like everything depends on it [12:10] <[chr0n0s]> neville, use wine command in terminal [12:12] my gutsy gives a weird error about pipelines when clicking on Test in the Audio dialog [12:12] CoasterMaster, I think there is a -force option when installing it ??

[12:13] CoasterMaster, But im not sure if you can revert w/o uninstalling [12:13] CoasterMaster, I think there is a way but Im not the one to ask [12:14] chr0n0s: I tried that just then, even with an installer, and nothing in the Kmenu changed D: [12:14] i have a problem with steam and wine. installed it but when i try to run a game like tf2 it wont start it properly and just return to the desktop http://i28.tinypic.com/2qi4w3t.png [12:15] nipzor best to ask in #winehq about that problem [12:15] neville, okay === miip_ is now known as miip [12:16] Hi [12:16] any body 14 f?

Nicely done! [12:19] CoasterMaster, hehe sweet what did the command end up being?

[13:01] lassesandberg42: well, the 8800 is very new, is it not? [13:01] maciek, there is a kernel build option, but I would expect it to already be set as you need. [13:01] <_Bart_> guest_: got thtat? [13:01] rhineheart_m, ssh has logging features and loggin attempts can be logged also [13:01] while we're waiting for the irssi GUI to be finished, does anyone know of a graphical IRC client that DOESN'T suck? I'm using gnome [13:01] But I have seen, that suse can manage it. Do they use a special kernel? [13:01] rilo: xchat [13:01] indygunfreak it is soupposed to work i think, there are drivers for it for linux [13:01] maciek, not a special kernel, just a kernel built with different options [13:02] jrib: no no, that DOESN'T suck [13:02] rilo: well, which ones do you think suck? [13:02] screen + irssi :) [13:02] xchat :/ [13:02] rilo: are you sure you tried xchat? not xchat-gnome? [13:02] Dr_Willis: How to read the log?

I can't even do basic things like /whois on a popup menu [13:04] SmashCat: it'll usually detect them [13:04] im trying to install some drivers from nvidia http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_169.07.html <--. but the install script says x must be closed. how do i start ubuntu only with a terminal/console. no x. when i boot up form recovery mode and execute command: telinit 3 (or something like that, the install script told it) it automatically starts x and gnome [13:04] rilo: if you say so.

[13:05] <_Bart_> Ok if that is complete you have an extra option in the apparance screen [13:05] :) [13:05] IndyGunFreak: No, doesn't seem to. modprobe doesn't work either, so a reinstall is looking like the only option - this is worse than windows, having to reinstall to handle a minor hardware change ;-) [13:05] IndyGunFreak: it doesn't seem configurable at all. the only chance you have to do anything is plugins [13:05] SmashCat: you're assuming thast what you have to do... [13:06] jrib: I thought xchat was the text version, I'll check it out [13:06] ok _BART_ ... [13:06] Thanks once again [13:06] I have this issue: Every time I will update my site the page will deliver me to cannot be displayed.. I have joomla and drupal. But they behave the same thing. I guess there must be a problem with the server. Any comment? Thanks. [13:07] IndyGunFreak: If modprobe worked, then I'd just add a line to a startup script to force the right module in, but that's broken here - can't find any module I try. Maybe it was a bug in an update... dunno... [13:07] Dr_Willis: yea, as soon as that guy finishes his irssi GUI, I'm there -- that is, unless he breaks it :| [13:07] SmashCat: my user can access to the cd-roms [13:07] Dr_Willis: I cannot find the log files you're talking about earlier.. [13:07] rilo, write your own. :) [13:07] aguitel: Needs write access [13:07] turns out theres a new VMware version anyway, downloading it now :/ [13:08] Dr_Willis: I need a GUI for IRC though. It's just so much nicer [13:08] which VMware product has a new version? [13:08] Dr_Willis: If I had the time, I would consider it [13:08] SmashCat: how i get this?

[13:09] rhineheart_m, it will NOT be called putty. Putty is just another ssh client. (and other features) [13:09] whats the best wifi manager - I would like to be able to connect to my wifi at home but can only connect via cable [13:09] rhineheart_m, some of the logs will be logging every user that logs in. and other info about them. [13:09] frold wicd imo [13:10] Dr_Willis: so what would it be then? [13:10] I have a script owned by root with the suid/sgid bits set yet it cannot perform any root only tasks i.e smbmount when run by a regular user? Works fine run by root. [13:10] does anyone know how i can stop x and gnome and get a terminal or something to run commands? x needs to be closed while i run a install sh [13:10] speedsix: you can't suid root scripts [13:11] lassesandberg42: Try sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [13:11] every time when i try to burn with my cdrecord it say "Cdrecord has no permision to open the device" how i solve this ? [13:11] To start it again when you're finished, type sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start [13:11] jrib: oh, I thought I could make a script with root ownership that could let regular users do su tasks? [13:12] speedsix: binaries yes, scripts no. At least that is what I remember reading. It's a security precaution [13:12] <_Bart_> I want to make my grub menu some nicer, do I need grub 2 for that?

[13:21] :P [13:21] Ray_, maybe that's 'cos you cannot create ELF binaries or something or maybe a.out [13:21] Dr_Willis: yea! I wonder what is up with xchat-gnome [13:21] both seem highly unlikely [13:22] rilo, over the past few releases xchat has been getting dumbed down more and more.. xchat-gnomeis the next incarnation of irc-4-idiots it seesm [13:22] frold: Think you're speaking to the wrong person?

[13:35] TigerT[Buntu]: sudo apt-get remove vmware should do it. [13:36] TigerT[Buntu]: then you'll likely need to purge it, then reinstall it.. i forget the purge command. [13:36] How do i know if i have the right display driver installed guys? [13:36] apt-get remove --purge [13:36] sarthor ctrl+alt+f1 is the physical console login, try ctrl+alt+f7 to get back to the gui [13:36] i am not able to open anyother web pages excpet goole pages [13:36] sandr-_: lol [13:36] hi, I would like amsn with character's antialiasing, what can i do? [13:37] sandy37: that sounds like a router issue, do you have a router? [13:37] i am in a desperate situation and i need help immediately. someone help please? [13:37] sn0, i am already in GUI mode. i wnat to move to text mode from GUI. [13:37] elbermungsterses: ask your question [13:37] Hi can someone suggest a linux distro that is small but good that can be installed via USB and loaded onto an 18GB hd... the comp will be for personal use but it will perform simple task i.e. surfing the net, reading email etc [13:37] dam small linux? [13:37] sarthor then ctrl+alt+f1 - ctrl+alt+f6 will give you a console login [13:37] Pirate_Hunter: any of the small linuxes, DSL, Puppy, .. [13:38] Pirate_Hunter ubuntu can be crafted to boot from usb quite easy [13:38] IndyGunFreak, no i dont have router, even i am not able to use xchat right now i am in windows [13:38] every time when i try to burn with my cdrecord it say "Cdrecord has no permision to open the device" how i solve this ? [13:38] sn0, i cant see any thing there. the screen is just black. no loing place. [13:38] sandy37: well, you've got something going on, that makes little sense [13:38] sarthor are you using ati ? :) [13:38] too late, gone [13:38] sandy37: did you install Firestarter, or some other software firewall? [13:38] sn0: ubuntu too big, too many packages for the comp im working with and even xubuntu will take a lot from the HD [13:38] IndyGunFreak, but i am able to sgin in gmail and gooogle maps [13:39] i created a pppoe connection a few days ago with default settings and when i rebooted network manager doesn't show wireless anymore. [13:39] IndyGunFreak, NO [13:39] Pirate_Hunter debian can also be made to boot from usb, maybe try that and choose what you wish to install, or create your own customised iso of ubuntu and boot that from usb [13:39] the choice is yours really [13:39] IndyGunFreak, any help? [13:39] sandy37: well, if you're getting to gmail, and googlemaps, then this is clearly a permissions issue. === theo_ is now known as FaBoO [13:39] IndyGunFreak: Hi indy yah i got puppy and DSL but isnt there anything better than puppy even knowing it has progressed quite well (excl dsl) [13:40] IndyGunFreak, ya i guess then what to do? [13:40] Anyone really familiar with NVIDIA? I can do google earth smoothly, but it seems like the gnome interface itself draws very slowly, any idea what I can do to speed it up? [13:40] sandy37: have you set certain permissions for your users that might have effected that? [13:40] Pirate_Hunter: there's af ew out there that will run pretty good from USB.. [13:40] zuira [13:40] Vector might also. [13:40] sn0: how can I do that, customise the packages to be installed and yeah i just want ot boot once from usb as the CDRom drive dont work yet :( [13:41] sorry [13:41] Pirate_Hunter: i must ask though, why not just carry around a live CD?..lol [13:41] IndyGunFreak, No but i uninstalled gnash flash of firefox [13:41] sandy37: that shouldnt' cause that. [13:41] Pirate_Hunter well to start with you need ubuntu either booted physically or from a livecd, then you can customise the package list and re-image the iso before creating a bootable usb drive [13:41] IndyGunFreak: CDRom dont work on this comp as I got it for free lol so i thought why not revive it and leave it for simple tasks [13:41] IndyGunFreak, from than the problem started [13:42] Please help guys about openchrome graphics driver and ubuntu gutsy. [13:42] IndyGunFreak,even APT is not working [13:42] sandy37: what *I* would do, is go back to your ubuntu install, and create a new user.. Log out, and log in to the new user, and see if you have the same problem, if you do, then its something in the user settings [13:42] sn0: Ive got a full ubuntu liveCD image but how to customize it for usb isnt there any tuts? [13:42] i am using a HP pavilion dv1000 special edition with an intel 915 GM chipset and a intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG card, IndyGunFreak. hope that helps. [13:43] IndyGunFreak,ok i will try wait a sec [13:43] Pirate_Hunter nothing official as far as i can see, maybe someone else knows but google has some instructions [13:43] ive just installed compiz but how do I use it? i dont understand plugins [13:43] !wireless | elbermungsterses [13:43] elbermungsterses: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [13:43] sn0: you got the actual link? [13:43] jrib: oh man, nick settings per network. I'm enjoying this ;) [13:44] Pirate_Hunter maybe something like http://code.google.com/p/uremix/ but "remastering" is what you wanna do [13:44] says dapper only though [13:45] "remastersys" is another tool Pirate_Hunter [13:45] sn0: if it gets too complicated I'll just indatll puppy but wouldnt mind gutsy meh guess i cant have always what i want in life :( [13:45] HI, i am using GUI, in i want to go to text mode the help of alt+ctrl+F1, but i am not able to see any thing there, the screen is black. Help please [13:45] Pirate_Hunter well it definately works, might be difficult the first time (like all things in life) [13:45] sn0: kk will check that tool out thanx [13:45] np hope it helps [13:45] I'm facing this problem with my LCD monitor, after the grub menu when it tries to load, it says "input not supported" instead of the splash screen, I tried to fix it using the following link http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Gutsy#Fix_Slow_boot.2Ffaulty_splash_screen but I get an error in one of the steps mentioned in this guide [13:45] sn0, you were helping me but i lost connectivity with irc!! [13:46] sarthor i remember :) are you using ati drivers or something? there used to be a bug a while back where if you went to physical login it caused problems with displaying the text [13:46] hello. My resolution in the login window is to big. I don't know how to fix it. I've tryed reconfiguring Xorg but it's still the same problem [13:47] sn0, i dont know about my driver, how to check about my driver. its HP computer. [13:47] sarthor you can check which graphics chip you have by typing lspci at the terminal, it should say [13:48] finally, i got VMware on ubuntu [13:48] now i need to somehow get my XP iso over there.. damn you ubuntu -_- [13:48] TigerT[Buntu]: use your CD? [13:49] sn0, 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82915G/GV/910GL Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 04) [13:49] i changed setting in Advanced Desktop Effects - but how do i use the plugins? anyone know please? [13:49] southafrikanse: are you using a custom image on your login window, or just one of the defaults? [13:49] hi, is it possible to upgrade individual package in ubuntu? [13:49] IndyGunFreak, default [13:49] sarthor ok so its not the ati drivers causing the problem, what exactly do you see when you press ctrl+alt+f1 ? [13:50] southafrikanse: LCD? [13:50] IndyGunFreak, notebook from LG so it's a TFT monitor [13:50] ok. [13:50] sn0, pressing alt+ctrl+F1, f2, f3, f4, etch. [13:51] IndyGunFreak, but it's only in the login windows. In the desktop everyuthing is ok [13:51] southafrikanse: but the rest fo your desktop is sized properly, correct? [13:51] ok.. [13:51] southafrikanse: go to System/Admin/Login Window [13:51] IndyGunFreak, I'm there [13:51] hi, is it possible to upgrade individual package in ubuntu? [13:51] southafrikanse: on the local tab? [13:51] yes [13:51] sarthor sorry i didn't understand that reply, could you explain what you want to do exactly, in the console login [13:52] southafrikanse: do you have "Set position of the window" checked? [13:52] is there a simple is_* function for testing is parameter $p a PDO object? [13:52] psandeep [13:52] IndyGunFreak, I don't see anything like that [13:53] if im controlling ubuntu over VNC.. is there an easy way to get a file from my PC to the ubuntu PC? [13:53] IndyGunFreak, i created new user and still no use [13:53] southafrikanse: itzs under Behavior [13:53] sn0, I think i need some change in my /boot/grup/menu.lst, in this line /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic root=UUID=67d58f59-ab04-4c48-8aaf-66a9f484b88e ro quiet splash but i dont know exactly, is that like vgq=normal [13:53] sandy37: ok.. and that user was able to got o gmail also? [13:53] sn0: ive been wondering why cant I just boot ubuntu a.k.a. xubuntu and remove the packages not needed instead of trying to remaster the live CD which is dodgy...? [13:53] TigerTails a few ways, depending on the pc you are controlling ubuntu from and what it has installed and set up. You could use scp/sftp if ssh is enabled on the ubuntu system [13:53] IndyGunFreak, ya i was able to google and gmail and maps [13:54] Pirate_Hunter: best to get the minimal install and only add what you want [13:54] IndyGunFreak, no. I also don't see anything called Behavior lol [13:54] IndyGunFreak, even orkut [13:54] southafrikanse: what version of ubuntu are you using? [13:54] ugh.. ill just put it on a flash drive and wander downstairs [13:54] Pirate_Hunter: its only 9MB ;] [13:54] IndyGunFreak, Gutsy Gibbon [13:54] bazhang: how do you do that, im sure there isnt an option to do that or is there? [13:54] sarthor ok well im not sure why you don't see anything in the physical login, but maybe we can bypass that problem and just edit the file directly. Try pressing alt+f2 in the gui, then type gnome-terminal, from there you can sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst and edit [13:54] sandy37: ok there's something w/ your connection, either a firewall, or something. [13:54] sandy37: have a live CD handy? [13:55] IndyGunFreak, gusty [13:55] Pirate_Hunter removing the packages from the livecd doesn't physically remove them, only for that session [13:55] sandy37: boot the live CD, seee if you can surf the internet normally rom it. [13:55] can I upgrade individual package with aptitude or something? [13:55] IndyGunFreak, ok [13:55] that wil narrow it down to your connection settings, but i suspect that anyways [13:55] sn0: :/ ok hmm well i'll think of something i hope [13:55] Pirate_Hunter if you did use a usb pen drive to install ubuntu from, you can make it persistant - ie it saves your changes, so you could remove/install what you like, save changes then next time you boot (persistant mode) it will save the changes [13:56] sn0: Woah, ubuntu on a pen drive? awesome D: [13:56] i want [13:56] root____1: if its a package with a newer version in the repos, just type apt-get install package [13:56] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD Pirate_Hunter [13:56] TigerTails the ubuntu wiki has steps :) [13:56] bazhang: thanx will read it [13:56] np [13:57] skold: thanks for the hints (^_^) [13:57] root____1: np [13:57] Is there a problem with the keys on the Gutsy packages? I'm getting "NOT AUTHENTICATED" on all my packages this morning. [13:58] bazhang: what is that? it looks like a livecd.iso do i just burn it like normal and run it or should i say cna i ran it from usb? [13:58] Pirate_Hunter: if you manage to boot from USB, tell me how, brb [13:58] Pirate_Hunter: need to burn it; if you want a pendrive you can check www.pendrivelinux.com for more info [13:58] TigerTails i used https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent iirc [13:58] o meu ecrã de login está maluco.

Like on my ssh connection to another machine on my network, I didn't have to tell it the folder...... [14:01] no sound with headphhones asswel [14:01] southafrikanse: but ar eyou sure you're running gutsy,b ecause you should have saw "behaviour" on that local tab [14:02] il lookup my sound device [14:02] Deeppact: open a terminal, and type "lspci" no quotes, and see what your sound device is [14:02] IndyGunFreak, I've just installed it from the CD [14:02] don't know.

[14:04] IndyGunFreak, i know. i thought the same thing. but it's true. i can't figure it out. also, when this happens, the sound my hand makes when it makes contact with the laptop comes through there too. like it's amplified somehow.

I'm trying to install a printer via win xp vmware image [14:25] from within the image, I cannot find any printers [14:26] I have many network printers attached [14:26] notyeta, you need some free space or u can prepare partition urself. There is a diskpart tool in the installation so you can do it later [14:26] to the network, but I guess this is because vmware creates a seperate subnet === frold_ is now known as frold [14:26] gives me command not found [14:26] I mean u can do it while installing [14:27] Aquahallic: ok, run : sudo apt-get install powertweak-gtk [14:27] after a kernel panic my network connection stop working properly.

[14:35] and not near stable. [14:35] !googleearth | Agion [14:35] Agion: Google Earth is now available, for free (only as in price), for Linux, too. To download it see http://earth.google.com/download-earth.html - A package for Ubuntu is available in the !Medibuntu repository [14:36] looks promisng though. [14:36] !medibuntu > Agion [14:36] Hi there, I typed in "find $HOME -depth 0 -name foo" and it returned the complaint "paths must precede expression." I think the syntax is correct .. can someone identify what I did wrong, please? [14:37] hi [14:37] IndyGunFreak, maybe, I haven't looked at it. Pain in the ass that Toshiba have to ship their laptops with such unknown devices [14:37] I am using kopete and can not see my webcam [14:37] Fougner: well, its a windows world, they work fine in windows, thats all they worry about...

[14:40] I'm off to google medibuntu, see what it has to offer. [14:40] Is there an irc channel specifically for ubuntu bugs?

[14:43] Aquahallic: ok, sudo apt-get remove these packages [14:43] !alsa [14:43] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [14:43] anyone to help me?

[15:16] hrmm i need to make a software raid for my projects/mails [15:16] in my hostel all the computers are connected by lan, my friend has challenged that he will delete a certain file from my ubuntu system over lan, hes running windows, its a bet for a lot of money, think its safe to accept??? [15:16] trust webcam 1200p under kopete ...rebooted [15:16] sofiankrt: http://paste.uni.cc/18377 [15:16] anyone seen an issue where you have grub menu items that dont show in menu.lst [15:16] tryed to send webcam [15:16] thyultimate: offtopic here [15:16] the file wont be on a shared folder [15:16] other part accepted === MasterShrek` is now known as MasterShrek [15:16] bardyr: use gparted [15:16] thyultimate, yea [15:17] and the window is empty [15:17] thyultimate, unless you have ssh running and he has and user/knows you pw [15:17] bazhang: sorry didnt know where else to ask, i dont know much about ubuntu even though im running it, im new [15:17] #ubuntu-offtopic thyultimate ;] [15:17] Aquahallic: ok, try locate powertweakd [15:17] ubuntu should be pretty safe. just make sure your passwordpolicy is good [15:17] fernando: do you use msn ? [15:17] sorry :D [15:17] try amsn and see if it works there [15:18] Aquahallic: and powertweak-extra [15:18] thyultimate: no I mean come in there and ask ;] [15:18] but in kopete setings i see the webcam and can chage its setings [15:18] jameswf-home-> what do you mean? can you elaborate? [15:18] allright [15:18] Aquahallic: And change the user, group and make them executable [15:18] sofiankrt: powertweakd returned a WHACK of 'em [15:18] erUSUL, anyway i can do it when its mounted as / ? [15:19] I do not have windows on this computer [15:19] Aquahallic: Perhaps from earlier installations [15:19] <_moro_bana_> sofiankrt: be back need to reboot [15:19] bardyr: i though you want to partition an empty raid volume if you are resizing partitions use a liveCD [15:19] Aquahallic: which one seems most relevant? [15:19] erUSUL, kk [15:19] I have 2 ubuntu installs 1 both show in the grub boot menu only 1 shows in /boot/grub/menu.lst so I cant edit the boot line of the one install [15:19] but I can chat in kopete [15:19] sofiankrt: there's one in /usr/sbin and one in /etc/init.d [15:19] bardyr: and as usual a backup of important stuff is a good idea messing with disks has allways a risky component [15:20] sofiankrt: rest are like docs and stuff [15:20] #torrent [15:20] jameswf-home-> paste into pastebin both the menu.lst so we can peek and make comments [15:20] sofiankrt: I'm assuming the one is /usr/sbin is the actual application and the /etc/init.d is a startup script? [15:21] there is only 1 menu.lst [15:21] Aquahallic: try powertweakd [15:21] !who | jameswf-home [15:21] jameswf-home: 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 :) [15:21] sofiankrt: says need to be root [15:22] sofiankrt: let me do sudo -s and then run it [15:22] %C2 what was the idea about msn? [15:22] hello, I removed my samba config files to start from scratch, what package are they in because when i installed samba again it doesn't retrieve config files === mjs is now known as mjsilva [15:22] hello, how to edit the startup manager ? like when the PC starts the hightlight is at ubuntu but I wanna change the default hightlight into other OS [15:23] sofiankrt: as root I try powertweakd and it returns nothing.. if I do a /etc/init.d/powertweakd restart.. it shows it stopping then starting with no errors [15:23] Ray_: grub [15:23] Ray_: edit your /etc/grub/menu.lst [15:23] Ray_: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and read the comments about "default" [15:23] boot :/ [15:23] Does anyone know where I can get the gutsy samba config files, are they in a package? [15:23] Aquahallic: ok, let's try compiling it from source. the binary doesn't seem to be working [15:24] because samba doesn't install them when i do it [15:24] !samba > thechitowncubs (read the private message from ubotu) [15:24] Aquahallic: sudo rm -f `locate powertweak` [15:24] Aquahallic: don't do that [15:24] wow [15:24] thechitowncubs: sudo apt-get remove --purge samba && sudo apt-get install samba , that will reinstall the config files [15:24] sofiankrt: are you sure about that command? [15:25] sofiankrt: errr..... no? [15:25] it seems powertweak is running fine.. it's the powertweak-gtk frontend that's not working [15:25] jrib: yeah, I'm trying to remove files from previous powertweak installations and compiling it from source [15:25] My menu.lst http://pastebin.ca/915131 [15:25] why? [15:25] linxeh: give me time to type! [15:25] sofiankrt: why would you recommend using rm if it was installed using apt? [15:25] I can use lspowertweak and it returns back everything [15:25] Does anyone know how to switch windows in irssi? [15:25] thechitowncubs: alt-# where # is a number [15:25] sofiankrt: when you install from source its usually advisable to configure the build to install to somewhere like /opt/packagename/ - much easier to remove [15:25] i want to read my pm :P [15:25] jrib: because apt-remove isn't removing these files [15:26] sofiankrt: use aptitude purge if you really need to do this [15:26] jrib: I mean [15:26] jrib: apt-get remove [15:26] sofiankrt: yes it does [15:26] Aquahallic: it didn't for me [15:26] apt does remove them fine [15:26] did here [15:26] jameswf-home-> from what you pasted, which lines do not show up during boot? [15:26] Aquahallic: I apt-get removed all these files, and then located powertweak, and found a bunch of unremoved files [15:27] !who | jameswf-home [15:27] jameswf-home: 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 :) [15:27] Aquahallic: apt-get removed powertweak, that is [15:27] amenado: there are additional lines that show up beyond whats in menu.lst [15:27] sofiankrt: powertweakd is working properly.. it's just the gui frontend that isn't [15:27] !GTFOI [15:27] Sorry, I don't know anything about gtfoi - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [15:27] Aquahallic: do you still have the files when you locate powertweak? [15:28] how can I add a voice to menu of gnome? [15:28] does anybody now how to make a encrypted file system with the alternate hardy cd? [15:28] Aquahallic: how do you know powertweakd is working properly? [15:28] he says: "Cannot delete data on device, so I cannot create this file system" [15:28] Cubitus: hardy support in #ubuntu+1 [15:28] jrib: ok thanks [15:28] hello world :) [15:29] err is making a softraid easy now [15:29] sofiankrt: I installed lspowertweak and run it and it returns back everything properly... it's a program to look at powertweakd [15:29] err. thru gui? [15:29] after a kernel panic my network connection stop working properly. I get an IP via DHCP but then the computer stop sending packets. The network card keeps receiving but if I ping or ssh or so, no packets are sent. help!! [15:29] http://wiresmash.com/windows/the-windows-xp-soundtrack/ [15:30] Aquahallic: ok, I've got one last idea. perhaps when we installed the packages separately, the powertweak-gtk wasn't installed properly [15:30] Aquahallic: so just apt-get remove them, and apt-get install powertweak [15:30] powertweak-gtk is a gui frontend for configuring powertweakd .... lspowertweak is a script to return how powertweak is currently configured [15:30] i can see why the linux workd thinks so highly of ubntu users.... windows users who think they are 1337 but still cant use a cli [15:30] Aquahallic: and check it with lspowertweak [15:30] jrib: I'm in /boot/grub/ and did pico the menu.lst but how to make WinXP starts by default ? was reading and didnt get how to do it :< [15:30] quit [15:31] oops [15:31] you can't remove powertweakd and have lspowertweak.... [15:31] powertweakd is a dependancy [15:31] !grub > Ray_ [15:31] how can I add a voice to menu of gnome? [15:31] Aquahallic: remove them all, install powertweak, and then install lspowertweak [15:31] Aquahallic: does everything work now? [15:31] nickrud: that did not reinstall, daemon.log still reports cannot read smb.conf [15:32] powertweakd works... lspowertweak works... it's just powertweak-gtk that doesn't work [15:32] thechitowncubs: strange, /etc/samba doesn't exist? [15:32] err how does powertweak help? [15:32] nickrud: right, i removed it but its not coming back [15:32] Aquahallic: try creating a launcher for powertweak-gtk [15:32] E.Heide [15:33] err brb [15:33] Assid: powertweak just installs all three [15:33] thechitowncubs: a sec [15:33] nickrud: thank you very much [15:33] E.Heide [15:33] Aquahallic: what error message does it give? [15:33] hi whats the command to copy all file? [15:34] Pirate_Hunter: cp * [15:34] good afternoon [15:34] Pirate_Hunter: specific extensions, cp *.txt [15:34] Pirate_Hunter: cp * (where you want them) [15:34] thechitowncubs: thanx no I want all file not matter the extension type [15:35] Pirate_Hunter: cp * (target directory) [15:35] sofiankrt: launcher doesn't work either [15:35] prince_jammys: http://paste.uni.cc/18377 [15:35] sofiankrt: thanx [15:35] Pirate_Hunter: any time [15:35] nickrud: do you think its a bug, reported by another user: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=242594 [15:35] sofiankrt: :D [15:36] Aquahallic: I really have no idea.... I would try to install it a different way, from source, perhaps [15:36] that is my exact error [15:36] Pirate_Hunter: ;-) [15:36] how can i open my xorg.conf for editing? i opened it manually but it won't let me save, i figure i have to sudo cmd it, but I don't know the command [15:36] Is there anyway to force your wireless tx-power up? [15:36] this error is a syntax error... [15:36] In ndiswrapper its 25db but with the firmware I get 18db and rubbish signal (talking like 5feet from router, then dead) [15:37] thechitowncubs: could be. Looking at some stuff, trying to find where it comes from [15:37] drpcken: gksudo gedit xorg.conf [15:37] hm could this fuck up aiglx?

[15:40] ubuntu seems the most popular distro now? [15:40] nickrud: well, it wasn't there before the purge because i removed it because i wanted to start from scratch [15:40] sofiankrt: do you still have those files installed??? [15:40] <_moro_bana_> sofiankrt: no [15:40] consfearacy: it is [15:40] nickrud: after purge, not there [15:40] my soundcard is not recognized. how do i solve this prob?

[15:42] sofiankrt, i have installed those drivers, but the card is still not recognized :( [15:42] nickrud: thank you [15:42] bye again [15:42] that launcher is broke.. but inside that launcher you can see the name of the actual executable... so when I do a sudo gpowertweak it opens [15:42] sofiankrt, yes, i have the inf file! [15:42] When I switched my xorg driver to neomagic from vesa (which wasn't working properly), my neomagic soundcard stopped working! Doing sudo dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/dsp works, but mplayer complains that it can't find any alsa devices and doesn't have permission to access /dev/dsp.

[15:43] does kopete allows talking with microfone? [15:43] _moro_bana_: I don't know, I've never tried installing from a CD, I only install from .ISO images [15:43] drpcken: that will give you an proper xorg.conf [15:43] _moro_bana_: hold on [15:43] Aquahallic: what? [15:44] drpcken: just make sure you no how to setup your graphics before you do. [15:44] <_moro_bana_> sofiankrt: ok [15:44] DaveEngland: Sorry, I have no idea. It probably isn't supported by ndiswrapper. Check their website, they should have a list of supported cards [15:44] prince_jammys: when I installed this package it dropped a file /usr/share/menu/powertweak-gtk file down... it's a plain text file [15:44] Yes find the vertical and horizontal refresh rates for your monitor [15:44] _moro_bana_: do you have any .iso images? [15:44] brobostigon, well i don't :) [15:44] if you have a weird one [15:44] sofiankrt, thnx [15:44] brobostigon, like the memory it asks for [15:45] i'm gonna restart first [15:45] I'm assuming that should have been a launcher am I correct?? [15:45] Anyone got udev or sg down in ubuntu yet [15:45] ? [15:45] drpcken: i wouldnt recommend it then.

I'm trying to back stuff up, but I want to backup my panels as well [15:45] New issue [15:45] Aquahallic: launchers usually have the extension .desktop [15:45] I havn't used udev, or at least havn't had to mess with it in like 4 years [15:45] ok, might aswell describe the problem xorg loads perfectly accept (EE) AIGLX error: dlsym for __driCreateNewScreen_20050727 failed (/usr/lib/dri/fglrx_dri.so: undefined symbol: __driCreateNewScreen_20050727) [15:45] but ubuntu is wantint me to [15:46] and (EE) AIGLX: reverting to software rendering [15:46] _moro_bana_: I've got to go for a while, brb [15:46] does someone know how to talk with microfone in kopete?

[15:47] using guide in ubuntu forums [15:47] thechitowncubs: apparently smb.conf is supposed to be built on the fly, it's not owned by any particular package. Looking for where it's generated [15:47] please help [15:47] nickrud: interesting [15:47] worked like a charm with dual heads [15:47] I am using Kubuntu [15:47] hi [15:47] well, I'm having a lot of trouble with getting good support from the ubutntu site myself [15:47] _moro_bana_: I'm back [15:47] I am running vsftpd 2.0.5 on Ubuntu 7.04 [15:47] oh yes, I had big problems in Fedora Core when I knocked it down to 1 from 2 heads [15:47] but after update total impossible to get it back [15:47] I used the panel hiding with the hiding buttons [15:47] i want to upgrade it to 2.0.6 [15:48] I mean from 2 to 1 [15:48] How can i do that [15:48] Aquahallic: if you want to view a typical launcher, do : find -name *.desktop and open with a text editor to see what they look like [15:48] not using compiz anymore either [15:48] does someone know how to talk with microfone in kopete? [15:48] well basically, have you tried reconfiguring xorg? [15:48] prince_jammys: so what would that text file be?? here's the contents.. http://paste.uni.cc/18378 [15:48] yes [15:48] hrm [15:48] <_moro_bana_> sofiankrt: making the iso [15:48] Aquahallic: i looked at the file. i don't know what purpose that file serves [15:49] have you tried looking elsewhere for the driver then the ubuntu repo? [15:49] SOMEONE help [15:49] Aquahallic: it does look like a launcher [15:49] i can;t view my panel [15:49] getting drivers off repos has never been a great idea in the past [15:49] nah there is one not supported and one ati****.run [15:49] Aquahallic: but it's not in the format i'm used to seeing [15:49] does someone know how to talk with microfone in kopete? [15:49] sofiankrt: thank you for your help btw... you did get me to the point that I broke into that file and found the actual executable...:) [15:49] graphics drivers I mean [15:49] not other drivers [15:49] might aswell try them on [15:49] thechitowncubs, nickrud: tried samba-common? [15:49] try the graphics driver for linux [15:49] Aquahallic: any time, glad to be of help [15:49] from the actual comapny that made the card [15:49] I am suffering random browser crashes with firefox. Sometimes when I am watching youtube videos or porn, it just crashes for no reason [15:49] ati? [15:50] Aquahallic: ;-) [15:50] ooooo [15:50] ati driver linux? [15:50] ati just released open source drivers [15:50] DaveEngland - hi dave - have you tried using the rtl8180 driver for your wireless card?

[15:50] prince_jammys: thanx to you also...:) [15:50] how can I chnge the java im using from ice tea to suns [15:50] ubuntu may be using the open source drivers [15:50] Hey, I downloaded Ubuntu 7.10 from the website and burned it to a disk, now that I try to start it I get errors - like this: [ 593.999153] ata2.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x2 frozen [15:51] thx, am not interested in dual head anymore anyway just to get screen non flicker to have som terminals open and watch one or other movie on screen :) [15:51] but ATI hasn't released all the parts of the drivers to open source because of patent issues [15:51] And a lot of stuff relating to I/O [15:51] Hi! I've uncomented a line in /etc/sudoers to allow members of group sudo to not need password. I added myself to a group sudo. Why do I still need to type in passwrds.

[15:51] smb.conf [15:51] thx for your time thundercles [15:51] Aquahallic: i suspect those files are used to automatically place an app in the right category of your menu [15:51] jrib: is samba-common installed on your machine? [15:51] wait manson [15:51] are you sure your refresh rates are right [15:51] ok [15:51] nickrud: i got it thanks [15:51] yes [15:51] <_moro_bana_> sofiankrt: how do i turn this off, my internal speaker booooms! when im typing [15:51] Hi guys, is it possible to increase the number of packages that apt downloads in parallel? [15:51] manson? [15:52] thechitowncubs: I know.

[16:20] going* [16:21] cook: isnt that dependant on your motherboard [16:21] cook: if you find out how to boot an iso overthe network I'd be very interested [16:21] <_moro_bana_> sofiankrt: wiki is great,just finished now, i have it on the desktop [16:21] hey [16:21] <_moro_bana_> sofiankrt: whats next? [16:21] _moro_bana_: yeah. so do you want to install xp, or try with wine? [16:21] I made a dir using Sudo and want to change it to normal access? How do I do that? [16:21] my computer i want to boot has only the chance to boot over network. there is no chance to boot over usb oder cd [16:22] Error! Could not locate fglrx.ko for module fglrx in the DKMS tree. [16:22] can anyone recommend something to view hdd bandwidth? [16:22] You must run a dkms build for kernel 2.6.22-14-386 (i686) first. [16:22] danand_, you mean sudo modprobe rtl ? [16:22] <_moro_bana_> sofiankrt: let me try xp now, for knowledge [16:22] eh whats's that [16:22] * Agion needs help: Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":1.0". [16:22] cook, i dont konw about iso's, but if you use a pxe server and an nfs share you shold be able to apparently, never done it myself tho... [16:22] !install | cook [16:22] cook: 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?

[16:22] but will tell you if what I'm doing now will fix it [16:22] benny269, pidgin [16:23] benny269: pidgin, amsn [16:23] manson: u've got the same problem? [16:23] is it possible to install ubuntu from the network? [16:23] !pidgin [16:23] cook: try smat boot manager [16:23] pidgin is the new name for Gaim forced by AOL's legal dept. It is available in Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy), but not previous versions. See http://www.pidgin.im/index.php for more info. To install Pidgin please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallPidgin2.0 [16:23] yeah [16:23] _moro_bana_: open vbox [16:23] I am suffering random browser crashes with firefox. Sometimes when I am watching youtube videos or porn, it just crashes for no reason [16:23] DaveEngland - no. if you type modprobe -l | grep rtl that should list a number of modules with rtl in their names. You need to then choose the module for your card and insert it into the kernel with a sudo modprobe r8180 for example. After that lsmod | grep 8180 should show some output, meaning the module is in the kernel. Patience Dave - I'm a slow typist :D [16:23] k... [16:23] at least some part of it [16:23] ok [16:23] have you searched in /var/log/Xorg.0.log [16:23] TrustNoOne: blame flash [16:23] for (EE) [16:23] AstralSin, i want to fix, not blame [16:24] nope [16:24] if not do that [16:24] i dont think there is a fix, complain to adobe [16:24] i have a really crappy laptop with no hardrive.. it has minimal ram (like 98 megs) and i know it can run Damm small linux however all ubuntu distros fail.

[16:43] DaveEngland - check to see if the module has been inserted into the kernel with the command lsmod | grep r8180. If you get some output the module has successfully been loaded [16:43] EdwardXp: you mean cd burning software or what [16:43] that will not even work with 7.10... it starts loading and goes for awhile but nothing appears on the screen then the drive just stops [16:43] Dave2-> what kind of error where you getting when you have the full path on the command line? [16:43] RexxMast: make sure also to burn the live CD at a slow burn speed (4X) [16:43] danand, dave@dave-desktop:~$ sudo modprobe -l | grep r8180 [16:43] /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/ubuntu/wireless/rtl8180/rtl8180/r8180.ko [16:43] my internet farted [16:43] yes it meets the minimum requirements [16:43] danand, now what? [16:43] bazhang, no i just want to copy the data of whats' on a disc to a working iso image [16:44] Question: how sane is the Ubuntu installer? If I simply delete everything from my hard drive except /home, move my /home/alan, and then install, will my backed up /home/alan still be there (assuming I don't format the partition) [16:44] ? [16:44] I burned it at 6x but will give that a try [16:44] EdwardXp: dvd rip k9copy may work then acid rip perhaps also [16:44] DaveEngland-> it is loaded, now use it [16:44] Alan yes, it should be there if you make a separate /home partition [16:44] Alan_: do you have porn on it? [16:44] DaveEngland - did you get any output from lsmod | grep r8180 [16:44] Alan_: if /home is a separate partition you can elect not to format it, but the / partition must be formatted by the installer [16:44] amenado, and how can i use it? (sorry for lame questions, im still a noob) [16:44] bezhang thanks... how about straight data via the cmd line? [16:45] cadefy stop [16:45] lol [16:45] i've tried every option... machine is nothing out of the ordinary. Asus PK5 Deluxe Wi-Fi mobo, Core Duo 2 E6600, nVidia 8800GTX, 4 GB Ram etc [16:45] he left [16:45] Alan_-> the install will not need to touch a partition if you dont want it to [16:45] danand, yes, it replys /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/ubuntu/wireless/rtl8180/rtl8180/r8180.ko [16:45] hey can someone help me i have an ipw3945 wireless card it worked when i first installed ubuntu but now it is not being recognized at all in the network connections or anything? can someone help me figure out how to fix this please [16:45] DaveEngland-> what is that driver for? ethernet? [16:45] astro76, you can't elect to not format / ? [16:45] amenado, yes! wireless card! [16:46] is there anyone who knows about using iptables ?? i need a second opinion about my actual config [16:46] Alan_: correct === hyakuhei is now known as hyakuhei-fosdem [16:46] astro76, bleh, that sucks.... [16:46] anyway I'll try burning the .iso at 4x and see if that will solve the problem. Thanks! [16:46] i have only a single partition on the machine I want to re-install on [16:46] AFAIK [16:46] EdwardXp: Turn a CD/DVD into an .iso sudo umount /dev/cdrom dd if=/dev/cdrom of=file.iso bs=1024 [16:47] DaveEngland-> then try /etc/init.d/networking restart to activate your wireless, you may still have to configure the essid [16:47] DaveEngland - are you sure thats not the output of modprobe | grep r8180? lsmod | grep r8180 should either give no output or something like lsmod | grep vesa would give output of vesafb 9092 1 [16:47] :) thanks... [16:47] RexxMast: yeah that's the first thing to try [16:47] Does anyone know of a flash drive or cd boot disk that will let me reinstall grub somehow, it seems to be messed up.

If I have an ubuntu machine thats acting up can a repair install type of thing be done [17:22] kazol__: nay [17:22] so you can have weather, clock, rss, sysinfo, stats, etc [17:22] moomo1: gdesklets [17:22] amenado, clients can ping the server but not the other way [17:22] screenlets moomo1 [17:22] savageone: i think its fsck from cmd [17:22] also, how can I go about doing remote support on an ubuntu where I take over the main screen via vnc or something like that but not in a different session actually so the user can see the mouse moving etc [17:22] ajricoveri_-> i suspect its the device in between them, ie the switch [17:22] fschk is for like the filesystem right [17:22] I guess that does make sense [17:22] ich bine la dne batioe qo ? [17:22] moomo1: There are a couple apps for that kind of thing besides gdesklets and screenlets. [17:22] yeah [17:22] amenado, if i only start the pc and let it and do nothing, its not crashing. only when the iptables are started and im Surfing! [17:23] ich bine la dne batioe qo ? [17:23] it will find bad blocks, then you can replace [17:23] hello everyone [17:23] can anyone tell where to get intel 945 chipset drives [17:23] gkrellm?

There are so many new people joining all the time. [17:27] test [17:27] cook not think, i'd like you to really try and see if you get into its console..then let me know once you verified [17:27] gThumb boris_ [17:27] hello [17:27] kazol__-> potential customers :P [17:28] Jupp2 and bazhang : thanks [17:28] kazol__: asking the #ubuntu channel is kind of no brainer "answer" on that one, right? ;) [17:28] boris_, gThumb will also do it [17:28] xq haha [17:28] amenado, i did already. yesterday and today two times. i only said i thin its 'freeze' dont know if its a really crash or only freeze. but i cant connect to over ssh or write something with keyboard or take the mouse. [17:28] i have 4 desktops and i use the rotating cube here in ubuntu how can i put so many icons on one desktop so they dont show up on the others? [17:28] kazol__-> now only if we can convince mainland china to use ubuntu..wow the potential customers..hehe [17:28] kazol__: but there seems to be a lot of research indicating Linux, as an operating system, is gaining popularity among the general public every day :-) Which is what we're aiming for. [17:28] brambo: i dont think that's possible [17:29] so every desktop has to have same icons? [17:29] xq: It makes sense that it's widespread-ShipIt, Dell computers, etc. [17:29] cook no, i want you to verify by visiting the pc and actually typing things in its console once you think it frozed [17:29] brambo: four different wallpapers etc? [17:29] that too if possible [17:29] i just want to have certain icons on one and not so many on others [17:29] amenado, i did. dont know what i have to do. if its freezed then i clicked the mouse and typed on the keyboard - nothing [17:30] brambo: using compiz right? [17:30] so if i wanna i can see my wallpaper by switching around with the cube [17:30] yeah i have compiz [17:30] amenado, cant get to init 3, too [17:30] kazol__: Yes, the adoption rate by vendors and the marketing scheme that Canonical (and other supplies that have backed Ubuntu with the cash flow...) is definitely in Ubuntu's favor. [17:30] kazol__: Compared to other vendor's...And RedHat still is focusing on Enterprise... [17:30] cook okay, thats all i just want you to verify..."i think" is sort of you not being sure [17:30] Is there a mac ubuntu irc-channel? [17:30] grrr, can't remember the name of the guy helping me before... [17:31] void^: I have read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DocBook in the past. I have re-read it. It does not answer the question which I have put. [17:31] lilleman: well, is it a specific mac problem? are you running ppc or intel? [17:31] is there a good electronic circuit simulation program for ubuntu? [17:31] like Multisim? [17:31] cook as soon as you enable the iptables rules you can not access the internet and the pc frozed? [17:31] amenado, i only didn't know if its a freeze or a crash. dont know whats the difference. the main point is - the computer doesn't interest about keys pressed and so on [17:31] What is the command line for updating all installed packages via apt-get ? (server) [17:31] xq: Running intel, and I cant get the xmodmap to address my modifications [17:31] lilleman: and is it current version? ;-) i think you're in the right place if you're running current version. [17:31] oh well, fixed my wifi signal problem.... by ripping the better wireless aerials out of an old laptop and bodging them onto my minipci card [17:31] :P [17:32] xq: dl and installed 7.10 like 20 min ago ;) [17:32] Alpo, maybe not for ubuntu specifically, but if you google a bit you might be able to find one for linux someplace... [17:32] bcardarella: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [17:32] amenado, no. i activate this and then its running. one time it was running two days without the problem. then only twenty minutes. but first its running [17:32] http://forum.compiz-fusion.org/showthread.php?t=6199 brambo [17:32] Alpo: thanks [17:32] cook not able to type from its console/keyboard is adequate to verify it is not available, but using ssh to connect to it is sort of incomplete [17:32] its loading up the page now ill have a look [17:33] bullgard4: kernel documentation in docbook format then? [17:33] lilleman: Ah, so do you have a customized modmap ruleset already? [17:33] alpo there are several you can search synaptic as I can not remember them at the moment [17:33] cook well it depends on what you are doing in your iptables, if you are doing bunch of logging, possibly you run out of resources, it could be anythings [17:33] xq: edited /home/lilleman/.xmodmap according to the macbookpro ubuntu wiki, added to sessions and rebooted [17:33] i just installed the industrial icon theme from the repos. now, the proper folder icons don't appear. any idea why? :) [17:34] what are the chances of a laptop LCD out of one laptop working on another. [17:34] :S [17:34] eedge, if you know what you are doing, pretty good... [17:34] amenado, i only start iptables with the rule : 'iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o wlan0 -j MASQUERADE [17:34] I have no idea what Im doing :) [17:34] only this [17:34] haha [17:34] that was it [17:34] nothin more [17:35] astro76: It is some generic stuff whose nature and use I cannot analyze. [17:35] eedge: then the chances are poor ;) [17:35] So anyoen get HDMI audio working yet? [17:35] xq: When I booted it asked me wich files I wanted to load into xmodmap, and I choosed my shiny new file and clicked ok... and it just didnt work :( [17:35] cook am surprised it allows clients on its lan side to access the internet, without activating ip_forward [17:35] is it possible to get xchat-gnome anchor the user list in the right side of the window? [17:35] bluefox83, its just that I've cracked the screen on this fairly badly (and its progressive), and I've found another panel complete with converter from an older laptop thats in great condition... [17:35] hello peeps [17:35] maybe a simple question, but what can I do to see what disabled my sound ouput? [17:35] but I have no idea how todo it, and I assume it won't be plug and play so to speak [17:36] amenado, ok i activate this, too [17:36] amenado, i thought you only want to see the iptables rule [17:36] eedge, well...give it a try...can't really break anything worse than it already is, can you? [17:36] good point. [17:36] cook well look in the /var/log/messages to get some telltail signs or clues [17:36] lilleman: Yeah, you followed https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MacBookPro ... that should fix it. Which MacBook Pro if you don't mind me asking? I use a Macbook Pro myself. [17:36] well, I don't know, I do have an amazing skill of making things worse :) [17:36] lol, sounds like me [17:36] lilleman: And which keys (or is it the mouse) that is causing the issue(s)? [17:37] be back after I've got blue smoke coming out of something :)) [17:37] cook btw with that rule, it is open, assuming your default policy is open [17:37] I'm thinking about switching distros. Any problems with running cpan as a user in ubuntu? [17:37] amenado, http://paste.frubar.net/7653 [17:37] sameone can help me to configure my webcam? [17:37] About my sound problem, This is like the third pc with ubuntu on it where my sounds just stopped working. I want to know what I can do about it besides rebooting. Is there anyone who experienced the same issues? oh and alsamixer is not muted. [17:37] storm-zen-> perl is supported from what i gather === WhiteHat_ is now known as alanhaggai [17:37] xq: Yeh, I hoped so. It was pretty straight forward. It's a first generation, 1.83Ghz ATI, 1.5GB RAM and 80G disc. :) [17:37] anyone experience any problems with PulseAudio on 64bit Gutsy? [17:38] storm-zen: No, it can be done easily. [17:38] storm-zen, no, cpan works fine...not that you really need it that much though, a lot of perl mods are available in apt [17:38] storm-zen: It's in the "universe" reposity and can be setup to be run as a user. [17:38] * bluefox83 nods [17:38] cook thats from which log? [17:38] xq: I dont know whats causing it. The keys just arent doing anything else than what they did before. That is; lefter enter is still lefte enter and apple-key doesnt do much of anything. :) [17:38] nova - I'm running 32bit and don't use pluseaudio, so can't help [17:38] hmm.. that might be cause to switch by itself. [17:38] amenado, thats my var/log/messages [17:38] Anyone switch from FC to ubuntu, here? [17:39] cook thats it? [17:39] what is pulseaudio anyways? is that for replacing alsa? [17:39] not all [17:39] amenado, i can copy all buts very much :) [17:39] lilleman: Remove the file it told you to create and re-create it. There is no need for a reboot (complete reboot). Just use the CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE method, it should save you some time. And maybe start back on the Wiki at step one. Something may have been mistyped or placed. I'm not entirely sure what happened. [17:39] cook am basically looking for clues.. [17:39] i believe it is, but for me it has cause more problems that it fixed [17:39] what is pulseaudio anyways? is that for replacing alsa? [17:39] no it uses alsa [17:39] sameone can help me to configure my webcam? [17:40] ah [17:40] anyone know how to get netbeans 6 to work with icedtea on 7.10? [17:40] xq: ty, I'll try that. :) [17:40] brb [17:40] storm-zen-> i use both fedora and ubuntu, am on fedora 8 [17:40] Surkow, is it a player? [17:40] lilleman: Sorry I couldn't help more. If that doesn't fix it, I'll look into bug reports. [17:40] !pulseaudio [17:40] PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions [17:40] amenado: Which do you like better? [17:40] hrm >.> [17:40] @ bluefox83 - it's a sound server [17:40] noolness-> i dont think netbeans supports other jdk other than sun or ibm's [17:40] ( and why? ) [17:40] it can do lots of interesting stuff [17:41] storm-zen-> none, i prefer suse really :) [17:41] like altering volume levels per program [17:41] amenado, i dont know where my problem is. im already searching. all these f**king logs dont say anything about the problem [17:41] Surkow, i was under the impression that alsa was a sound server too [17:41] heh. Will so much for that. [17:41] xq: Yeess! I've redone it like 3x before getting here. But now, it just works. tyvm! :) [17:41] storm-zen: I use Debian on a personal server environment and Ubuntu on my desktop environments. [17:41] *Well [17:41] well...about sound systems in linux bluefox83 it can be very hard to understand all of it :P [17:41] lilleman: Great :-) [17:41] sameone can help me to configure my webcam? [17:41] cook is it a good pc? enuff memory? stable i assume? [17:42] xq: Since you seem to have a good knowledge of mac and linux; is there a way to reproduce the touch pad-safety that is on osx? So that I dont accidently tap the touch pad when typing. [17:42] @ bluefox83 - http://www.linux.com/feature/119926 [17:42] lilleman: Glad to have helped. Enjoy your Saturday in Ubuntu. [17:42] amenado, i think stable it is. but not very much ram. only 256 [17:42] well naturally it might not be supported but that doesn't mean i don't want to do it [17:42] ;) [17:42] xq: \o/ === z4w3p__ is now known as z4w3p_ [17:42] storm-zen-> its one of those, you know, you started with one, got intimate, and just kind got familiar with the quirks [17:42] lilleman: Yes, let me find you a good post on that. It's a little script you can run and have it run on bootup. [17:42] cook that seem plenty enuff as firewall/router to front your home network [17:43] amenado: Yeah. I was fine with FC until I had a nasty experience yesterday with trying to get CPAN running. [17:43] xq: splendid! :D [17:43] lilleman: Here you go http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=434625 [17:43] !it [17:43] Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! [17:43] is there anyone who knows howto kill all programs stopping the alsa from responding? restarting alsa did not solve any problem for me. I really have to reboot/logout etc [17:43] amenado, i hope so. ubuntu is not very fast on this computer but i think its enough to route the traffic. [17:43] #ubunt-it [17:43] lilleman: That will do the trick perfectly. If you have any problems with that feel free to msg me or come back here. [17:44] amenado: ... cpan2rpm might hold the answers, but I think I borked things up too much for it to work now, and can't figure out how to get anything signed... (having to use --no-sign (or whatever) as root... which is ... uncomfortable. ) [17:44] cook is that the only app running on it? no others that possibly is a resource hog? [17:44] xq: tyvm! I'll get on it right away :) [17:44] amenado, no only the iptable. i only use this pc to route my traffic. nothing more [17:44] sameone can help me to configure my webcam? [17:45] lilleman: It's a 3 - 5 minute thing. Enjoy Ubuntu! MacBook Pros are a great laptop :) I love mine. [17:45] cook it seems adequate..dont know what to tell you where to look [17:45] how can i compile wine to enable v4l2? [17:46] storm-zen-> just save your important data and re-install perhaps [17:46] amenado, i dont know what to do. this problem is fu*** me up... [17:46] lilleman: Read that post just a few posts before delving into it. The first poster doesn't give much background (so read down a bit first for some details if you're not familiar) [17:46] amenado: It wouldn't make much sense to reinstall a distro that didn't play nicely with the program that I'm trying to get working, though. [17:46] cook-> since it is not doing much for you other that being a router, dont lose sleep over it, enjoy life :P [17:46] fdsajkl: well, download the source, and compile it.; [17:46] know what i mean? [17:47] what I have to install to fix it error checking for XML::Simple... configure: error: XML::Simple perl module is required for icon-naming-utils? [17:47] amenado, but the problem is. i cant do anything without knowing it could crash every second [17:47] is there an easy way to go from hardy alpha 4 to 5? Of do i have to download all of 5? [17:47] bullgard4: those are xml docbook files, named templates because they'll be filled in/completed by using the Makefile there. to do that successfully you'll need to symlink some bits of the kernel source tree though. [17:47] storm-zen-> try ubuntu then, maybe it is friendlier [17:47] DanglyBits: #ubuntu+1 for hardy support but you just let update-manager do its thing [17:47] DanglyBits: would would think if you update, you'll be at herd 5 [17:47] after a kernel panic my network connection stop working properly. Did a fschk and now the filesystem is ok. At the starting up the computer obtains an IP via DHCP, then the network card keeps receiving pakets but does not send any. if I ping or ssh or so, no packets are sent. help!! [17:47] DanglyBits: hardy channel is #ubuntu+1 [17:47] thinking about doing just that. Does ubuntu keep up with the latest as well as FC? [17:47] cook how about removing it from the network? what risk do you take by doing that? [17:48] DanglyBits: Just run an update and you'll be at Alpha 5... [17:48] some log on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57074/ [17:48] please help me... [17:48] storm-zen-> i believe ubuntu does keep up, it just uses a different packaging system, dpkg vs rpm [17:48] amenado, the problem is. my wlan is not strong enough. my parents want to use it. and its a very long way from the access point to their room. i use this pc als repeater.. [17:49] how do i enable v4l2 in wine? [17:49] amenado: What is the difference between the *buntus? [17:49] fdsajkl: ask in #wine [17:49] cook well there are trade offs one must make in life..heh til you get a nother pc to replace it perhaps [17:49] void^: Ah! Very interesting. -- Thank you very much vor explaining. [17:49] amenado, but i want to know where the problem is.. [17:50] i can't get update with apt-get update it stays on the message; connecting to blabla i am not behind a proxy, dns is correct set [17:50] how do i play mp3 files with ubuntu [17:50] storm-zen-> some uses kde the other uses gnome pretty much similar to fedora flavors [17:50] void^: for [17:50] amenado: But I can always switch my windows manager right? [17:50] ( Like fluxbox, here. ) [17:50] deep: enable it, or use medibuntu [17:50] !medibuntu | deep [17:50] deep: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [17:50] cook you can spend your entire life getting to the minutae of issues or you can go forward and save yourself some time.. [17:51] deep: use medibuntu, and just install the w32codecs pack, and mp3 shoudl work fine [17:51] thanks ubotu [17:51] storm-zen: yes, that is common in any linux distro [17:51] storm-zen-> sure it is linux still, so its window manager can be swapped [17:51] !thanks | deep [17:51] deep: You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [17:51] amenado, but not whit computers. i think if i let this maybe later i let another things etc [17:51] xq: Just wanted to make sure. Don't understand why ubuntu would fragment based off of desktop managers... [17:52] anyone know about ipod touch? [17:52] does it work with ubuntu? [17:52] cook get another pc to act as the router, see if it helps solve it [17:52] haymaker: last i heard, they aren't working yet. [17:52] bots rule [17:52] this is weird. I installed the industrial icon theme from the repos. The folder icon wont display until I open the file manager as root. any idea? :) [17:52] amenado, i dont have the space for this. and this pc only needs low voltage and so on [17:52] storm-zen: kind of an internal hot topic, but it's best for the development community and getting the best for those that "love" KDE or Gnome, really...but then again, Ubuntu supports them all [17:53] IndyGunFreak, thanks, you think in 8.04? [17:53] What can I use to create interactive ubuntu apps. I want to create a aizard for adding windows network shares [17:53] storm-zen: The original has support for them all via the package manage and you can install and run them all very easily at any time you fish (Xfce, Enlightennment, KDE, you name it -- it has it) [17:53] i need help burning ubuntu onto a cd [17:53] Hello [17:53] cook sometimes the power supply is going cuckoo maybe it is in its end-of-life, or loose power connectors..anything [17:53] haymaker: i would think its unlikely, my understanding is its not an Ubuntu issue, its something apple done to the hardware on the Touch... makes it only work in Windows/OSX, etc.. i could be wrong though [17:54] could anyone guide me setting up my partitions before installing ubuntu? [17:54] I have a 200 gb hard disk [17:54] barbarian-irc: what are you wanting to do? [17:54] i need help burning ubuntu onto a cd. [17:54] I want to install unbuntu on the notebook I just bought [17:54] barbarian-irc: ok.. [17:54] untermensch: the problem? [17:54] i go to burn the cd [17:54] and it's bank [17:54] blank* [17:54] cook thats why you have to learn the sort of break-even point, continue to troubleshoot or swap units and spend time socializing [17:55] untermensch: what software are you using? [17:55] I have no idea how big I should make my partitions.. [17:55] cook it is your call [17:55] there is / and /home and more [17:55] i tried: nero, poweriso, infrarecorder, and w\e came with my computer. [17:55] I am trying to run "grub-probe -vv / > blah" and it is not redirecting output to blah, it creates the blah file, then outputs grub-probe to the screen, not the file. [17:55] IndyGunFreak, I'm not gonna use windows unless it makes me money, so I guess I need a mac [17:55] amenado, im not very good in english so i dont unterstand everything what you say. maybe better for me :) so i think i understand that i cant do very much about this problem. so im going to watch tv and shit on it :P [17:55] barbarian-irc: well.. if it were me, I would probably set aside 30gigs for Ubuntu(especially if you're new to it)... [17:55] will ubuntu automatically create its own swap partition of the correct size? I have 2gb or ram [17:56] barbarian-irc: 30gigs.. I'd probably make a 2-3gig swap, and the rest your filesystem. [17:56] haymaker: lol, or take it back and get a player you know works w/ Linux..lol [17:56] Hey, I need some help with permissions if anyone doesn't mind. [17:56] barbarian-irc: nope.. you'll have to do it yourself [17:56] cook not nice to say, you meant throwing it out of the window? [17:56] Hi, i reinstalled Ubuntu. how I have saved all the half-dowloaded torrents in a folder; how do i make deluge resume the download? [17:56] gig means 1000 MB? [17:56] amenado, what the computer? [17:56] GB.. [17:56] 1024 I think] [17:56] yes 1024* [17:57] cook for whatever you despise [17:57] barbarian-irc: something like that, around 31000mb will be close enough to what you want [17:57] barbarian-irc: 1024 actually.. but they keep changing that around.. 1000-ish megabytes.. =) [17:57] IndyGunFreak, nah, this thing is sweet, its not just a player with wifi and all that, i use it to look at the net and my email while i'm roaming around at work, its good [17:57] this is weird. I installed the industrial icon theme from the ubuntu repos. I do not see the folder icon on file managers except whenever I'm running them as root. any idea? :) [17:57] How can I change the permissions for a second hard drive through the terminal? It's set as root so I can't edit it. [17:57] haymaker: ok. [17:57] does the order matter in which I create them? [17:57] amenado, i dont despise it. im only angry about that its not really working. but if i cant do anything i wont try anymore :) [17:57] Shinjin: sudo chmod -R... [17:57] Shinjin-> mounting it via fstab? [17:57] untermensch: you still there? [17:57] I guess I want my swap on the very first part of the disk [17:57] yes [17:57] i am [17:58] hi guys how can i unamount a volume [17:58] ???? [17:58] LoLLo: umount [17:58] untermensch: sorry, i missed, are you burning the iso as an image? [17:58] what's the command from the terminal ? [17:58] yes [17:58] should i not be ? [17:58] LoLLo: umount.. possibly sudo umount [17:58] no, you should be [17:58] ok [17:58] and i tried 2 different comping speeds [17:58] cook just take a break, it may come back to you after a few sip of coffee while watching gorgeous ladies at the cafe..heh [17:58] copying* [17:59] untermensch: are you sure your drive is working?.. the burner? [17:59] well.. [17:59] i tried on two different computers [17:59] i doubt two of mine + someone elses is messed up [17:59] amenado, thanks for that tip. but now im going to sleep a while. chill aroun you know [17:59] and i checked the md5 so ik it's not bad [17:59] sudo unmount /media/DvDiso [17:59] sudo: unmount: command not found [17:59] cook good for you, take a nice nap man.. [17:59] :s :s :s [18:00] umount [18:00] untermensch: ok, so if its happening on 2-3 pc's,m then the problem is likely something you're doing.. but my question was, are you sure your BURNER isn't messed up, in other words, not burning th edisk correctly [18:00] is there a way to soft update to 7.10? [18:00] i believe it's workig [18:00] working* [18:00] ok, thats fine [18:00] algum BR na lista? [18:00] like update gnome, kde, etc. but dont upgrade system packages [18:00] so, what should i be doing ? [18:01] untermensch: hold on a sec. [18:01] mmmk [18:01] untermensch: have you looked at htis page??? http://www.petri.co.il/how_to_write_iso_files_to_cd.htm [18:01] i looked at the ubunto, howtoburniso. but i havn't looked at that one i don't think [18:01] or do i have to upgrade it all [18:01] untermensch: ok.. another question [18:01] Can anyone help me install LILO from a boot-cd [18:01] I am tired of grub [18:01] yes ? [18:02] uhh im checking out the v4l2 site and it looks like the latest driver is from 2005? [18:02] Hi guys [18:02] this cant be right [18:02] I~lKyleKyle2: [18:02] I have a lil problem [18:02] untermensch: if you put your CD in your drive, it shows no data on the disk, correct? [18:02] Compiz isnt starting [18:02] yes [18:02] kylekyle2: start console at live-cd [18:02] hm, thats strange... [18:02] no data. like 736 free mb of space [18:02] Yeah i am there [18:02] kylekyle2: mount yer disk [18:02] and i have mounted sda3 (my ext3 partition to hd0 [18:02] Ive added the missing info to the X file with the nvidia-config [18:02] Rebooted and then, nothing [18:03] untermensch: type this w/o quotes, and i'll try to work this out with you.. '/join #indygunfreak' [18:03] Woah [18:03] kylekyle2: so type a 'chroot' n enter with "lilo' [18:03] A retry did it [18:03] just it [18:03] is anyone having problems with firefox not updating it save session data? [18:03] runemaste644: you have to upgrade the whole system, usually the differences in the base system are not trivial and affect the software that runs on top (such as the desktop environment, among many) [18:03] :P [18:03] hi everyone there!.........I'm just wondering if you could give some terminal commands that I might use...... [18:03] wait what [18:04] crass: arent u deleting yer register after leave session automatically? [18:04] rouini: sudo init 0 [18:04] !grub | kylekyle2 (note this url for when you break your machine) [18:04] kylekyle2 (note this url for when you break your machine): grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [18:04] well i used wubi to install, so if i upgrade system files, it will break the system [18:04] K_Wolf: I'm not sure, what is the register? [18:04] some important or useful web site where I can find terminal commands [18:05] but i do think it would be possible to install gnome 2.20 in 7.04 [18:05] crass: all your history data [18:05] !cli | rouini [18:05] rouini: 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 [18:05] crass: see? [18:05] rouini-> on a terminal press tab twice [18:05] what's this grub command in lilo - find /boot/grub/stage1 ???? [18:05] rouini choose amongst the thousands [18:05] thanks a lot [18:05] but I have more questions [18:06] K_Wolf: no, I mean the function of firefox where if it crashes it will restore the previous session if you want [18:06] teo ubuntu uses grub lest you change it to lilo [18:06] rouni: this site is an excellent place to learn about the shell and the CLI: http://nixshell.wordpress.com/ [18:06] runemaste644: if you've decided you are going to keep using linux, then install 7.10 for real, otherwise I guess you need to reinstall again with wubi? [18:06] runemaste644: it's really only recommended as a way to evaluate ubuntu [18:06] rouini, this is not a shell programming support channel if you want to discuss stuff like that #ubuntu-offtopic might be the place to get some clues but note it is not a support channel [18:06] crass: like when you enter with 'ctrl+SHIFT+Del' [18:06] amenado do u know how can i add backtrak 2 to the menu.lst what should i write?? [18:06] ok [18:07] When I do "play /file" how do I suppress all those lines flying through? Thanks! [18:07] Who can i start Firefox 3? [18:07] well, if i reinstall again with wubi... [18:07] *in terminal [18:07] teo--> i dont understand what you meant by backtrak [18:07] I installed from Synaptic, but FF 2 keeps opening [18:07] but could tell me what I can dicuss here [18:07] Gran paradiso? [18:07] K_Wolf: I'm not familiar with that key command. I mean if firefox crashes or is abnormally shutdown [18:07] O.o [18:07] 1 i need to boot into windoze 2. i need to wipe out the whole virtual partition [18:08] runemaste644: that's why you should install ubuntu for real and be done with it [18:08] amenado backtrack is linux os but i has lilo not grub and i want to add it into the menu.lst but i don't know how :S exactly i dont know if it is on hd0,1 or hd0,2 how can i see? [18:08] crass: Okay. Your historic about the last pages that u visited is correct [18:08] i used wubi to avoid partitioning [18:08] teo- you can use grub to point where backtrak vmlinuz and initrd is [18:08] !dualboot | runemaste644 [18:08] runemaste644: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MacBookPro https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [18:08] crass: ? [18:09] K_Wolf: yes it is correct [18:09] crass: Okay. Your historic about the last pages that u visited is correct? [18:09] so [18:09] teo--> you know which drive it is on, then mount the drive and look for it [18:09] I'm having trouble with the chmod. [18:09] amenado it is on sda7.. how can i see the initrd and the vmlinuz ? [18:09] K_Wolf: have you seen the files in the firefox user profile directory? (where the bookmarks.html is) [18:09] crass: have u interrupt any update? [18:10] teo--> well mount sda7 and find where the vmlinuz is on that partition [18:10] K_Wolf: no, maybe if I uninstall an reinstall? [18:10] crass: maybe it works, but... [18:11] crass: u can learn more with this trouble, huh? [18:11] Shinjin-> we can guess wrong til you tell us the problem [18:11] crass: =D [18:11] Can I use chmod to change the owner of somthing? [18:11] Shinjin-> nope, use chown [18:11] ok [18:11] hi [18:11] amenado it is in /boot .. [18:11] K_Wolf: haha, yeah, that's why I''m here [18:11] crass: well lemme see [18:12] teo--> your current os vmlinuz is in /boot what about for your backtrak? [18:12] amenado it is in /mnt/sda7/boot .. [18:12] crass: I guess that theres a cache dir for session restoration at system [18:12] I need help... I just set up 2 screens, which seem to work fine. Problem is, I can 'scroll' arount both screens (meaning I con't see the entire screen). What do I need to do? [18:12] K_Wolf: there is a file called session.js which stores the session data, the problem is that firefox is not updating that file when I open other tabs or go to other urls [18:12] teo--> then modify an entry in menu.lst to point to that [18:13] crass: about yer java? [18:13] crass: updated? [18:13] Anyone quite familiar with sox? How do I make "play" and "rec" less verbose? [18:13] So anyoen get HDMI audio working yet? [18:13] crass: ".js" is a Java script [18:13] K_Wolf: everything is updated, but it doesn't have to do with java, because this is native firefox feature [18:14] K_Wolf: yes ... I know [18:14] crass: Am I wrong? [18:14] fus10nx-> is HDMI even supported yet in linux? [18:14] amenado: video, yes. audio im not sure [18:14] !iso [18:14] To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [18:14] my HDMI video is perfect [18:14] K_Wolf: but java script is not java [18:14] I've tried everyhting to setup audio with nvidia but no luck [18:14] so im hoping HH fixes that [18:14] crass: T_T sorry [18:14] fus10nx-> more of my curiousity, how did you enable that? [18:14] I can't get the stupid permissions for this hard drive right. I've tried everything [18:14] crass: I'm a newbie yet [18:15] Shinjin: Is this an external hard drive? [18:15] No [18:15] Shinjin-> take a deep breath, relax for a few, then re-attack the problem..heh [18:15] amenado: HDMI video? it worked oob [18:15] K_Wolf: haha, ok, I've been using linux for almost ten years and am a programmer, so I'm usually pretty good a solving these problems myself [18:15] Shinjin: Whats the issue? [18:15] It's an internal 80 gig drive mounted as hdb1 [18:15] It's set so only root can access and change it [18:15] crass: relly? [18:16] fus10nx-> really? i did not know that..well i dont have an hdmi capable card so not able to test.. [18:16] Well change I can still read [18:16] Shinjin: Aha, have you been editing /etc/fstab? [18:16] no [18:16] K_Wolf: yeah, except that I'm getting frustrated with this problem :( [18:16] Shinjin: Alright. Do you know what the format is? (NTFS, FAT32 etc) [18:16] ext3 [18:16] Ok. Gimme a second. [18:16] Sometimes when I boot I try to open a terminal and it never shows up. After a reboot it does. Anyone know what's going on here? It's started happening more and more after I ran updates yesterday. [18:16] crass: I'm using linux since last year [18:17] Shinjin-> you have it mounted? what was your mount command and options? [18:17] crass: I started with ubuntu [18:17] amenado: Its internal, this is going to be fstab [18:17] anyone also having problems with areca raid controllers [18:17] I don't know. I used to storage device manager and just clicked the mount button [18:17] K_Wolf: cool, I think ubuntu is one of the best/easiest to use [18:17] rukuartic-> has he defined it in fstab? [18:17] Shinjin: Have you ever worked in a terminal before? [18:17] Guys, having just installed ubuntu I rebooted, get to login, and my keyboard (usb) is not detected. Im guessing either the right module is not compiled into the kernel or is not being loaded. Anyway I can compile a kernel using gentoo with the correct modules, or is there another solution? [18:17] amenado i get file not found:S [18:17] amenado: Guessing not. [18:17] A little. [18:18] I've done basic stuff. [18:18] crass: Sure. My teacher wants that I use FreeBSD [18:18] Can I, not I can, sorry [18:18] rukuartic exactly thats why i asked for his mount options [18:18] Shinjin: (its easier for me to see what you say if you type ruk and hit tab, it highlights my name.) [18:18] teo--> which file? [18:18] I have it open, thats what I've been trying to use cause I would need to be root to change it right? [18:18] rukuartic: okay [18:18] Shinjin: Yes you would. Can you unmount your hard drive? [18:18] amenado when i try to selec it from the boot list i get file not found.. [18:18] rukuartic: Yes [18:19] Shinjin-> use the command line mount to mount it, so you have better control than just point and click [18:19] Shinjin: Go ahead and unmount your hard drive really quickly. Is this a HD you plan to leave in your box permanantly? Or is this just a one time use move? [18:19] rukuartic: Permenantly [18:19] teo--> did you verify that it was really in sda7/boot as you said? what is your entry like in your menu.lst ? [18:20] is there a guide equivalent to this that will work on 7.04 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone === pelesije is now known as NoirFluo [18:20] Shinjin: In this case we'll want to put an entry into /etc/fstab (filesystem tab, I think). [18:20] what command in terminal should i use for entering a wep key? [18:20] Shinjin: This is a file that's read every time the computer boots, and it tells the computer what hard drives to mount where, and with what options. [18:20] twavisdegwet-> are you prompted to enter it? [18:20] rukuartic: Okay, I'm with you so far. [18:20] no but i know i need one [18:20] Shinjin: If your hard drive's unmounted, go ahead and open up a terminal and become root (sudo -i) [18:21] i do iwconfig [18:21] and it shows up and stuff bot now what? [18:21] rukuartic: Done [18:21] twavisdegwet: I think its 'iwconfig eth0 key ' [18:21] twavisdegwet-> i dont know it by heart,so you may have to man iwconfig key [18:21] .ptnet.org [18:21] Shinjin: Now cd into /etc, and open up fstab (gedit fstab) [18:21] I'm trying to integrate the git version control system with emacs. Does anyone have any suggestions? I've found an rpm that does it on rpmfind (wonders of google), but I'm kinda hoping to find something in either deb or elisp form. [18:21] i'll try that thank you [18:22] or how do i get it to mount as a hard drive over ssh [18:22] runemaste644: man mount ? [18:22] its sshfs [18:22] Oh, fuse? [18:22] but when i try it it fails to mount [18:23] runemaste644-> remote hard drive? [18:23] it just sits there doing nothing [18:23] I haven't done that for a long time. I've forgotten... [18:23] hi, anybody using ubuntu under Virtual PC? How to make it copy text from it? === dmb__ is now known as dmb [18:24] rukuartic: I'll be done in a sec. It had to install gedit [18:24] what i use is connect to server [18:24] is there a way to change the default 80x25 console resolution at boot-up to something a little higher, wider would be ideal, because im running off a laptop with display size of 1280x800. it's booting in verbose, text mode. [18:24] Anyone know of other places to get help with vmware? [18:24] #vmware is about as helpful as jumping out a window.. [18:24] Shinjin: Oh, are you on KDE? === priscila is now known as help [18:25] <_KAMI_> TigerTails: You can use VirtualBox === help is now known as priscila [18:25] rukuartic: Yeah, using xubuntu 7.10 [18:25] i need some help with my proxy .... =( ... it is configured to be a transparent proxy who allows all traffic and redirects http to squid ... i need some other opinions about my actual server config [18:25] i want vmware though :| [18:25] Shinjin: My fault, I didn't know that. You could have used another program like nano. [18:25] rukuartic: Okay [18:25] rukuartic: How do I do that? [18:25] ssh works fine, i can browse it with cli, but i want to browse it with nautilus [18:26] Shinjin: If you're in /etc, type 'nano fstab' [18:26] rukuartic: I have fstab open now [18:26] <|Prometheus|> is there a problem with kernel 2.6.22-14-generic where it doesn't recognise the parameter ide=nodma? I am getting a dma timeout on boot on /dev/hda and its increasing boot time by almost two minutes [18:26] rather than sshing in, sshing out, scping, sshing back in [18:26] Shinjin: Great. Now there's some pre-existing lines on there. Its very important that you don't modify these lines--but you could probably guess that. [18:27] hi, I installed all gstreamer packages ubotu told me to install for dvd playback, however, totem still gives me this error about not having the apropriate complements to read the disc. [18:27] any ideas? [18:27] Shinjin: Go down to the bottom and make a little room. We'll put our line here. [18:27] rukuartic: Gotcha [18:27] look it: http://debian.pastebin.com/m6fa46283 [18:27] I have a problem [18:27] Shinjin: Now whats the name of your device, /dev/hdb1 was it? [18:27] and do know how solve it [18:28] Yes [18:28] Shinjin: where do you want to mount it? [18:28] <|Prometheus|> S4nD3r, you have to sudo apt-get install, not just apt-get [18:29] |Prometheus|: He's root, see the #? [18:29] rukuartic: Doesn't matter as long as I can easily access it [18:29] Ok... but this is not the problem [18:29] Shinjin: I'd recommend /media -- thats a good directory. You can create a shortcut on your desktop to it. [18:29] Shinjin: Become root again, and cd into /media [18:29] <|Prometheus|> rukuartic, ahhh yes - my bad :) [18:29] rukuartic: Um... I was reading at the top. /dev/hdb1 is already on there [18:30] Shinjin: Could you put the file up on pastebin for me? http://pastebin.com/ [18:30] rukuartic-> he wants it permanent .. /media is by convention transitionary [18:30] well gftp works fine [18:30] hi there I've got a problem with tcpdump, can somebody help me? the question is: tcpdump is not printing icmp fragments as shown in manual... I tried to send icmp packets larger than mtu and it is supposed to fragment, in other host, cant see the fragments like shows [18:30] amenado: Where would you recommend then? [18:31] how often is /tmp cleared? [18:31] is there anyway to to add a command to my shut down script? so when the comp shuts down, it runs the command i enter in as well?! [18:31] nightwatch: I think... ...I might be wrong with this. But isn't ICMP != TCP? [18:31] rukuartic: okay, do I just send you the link in the address bar? [18:31] is there a way to change the default 80x25 console resolution at boot-up to something a little higher, wider would be ideal, because im running off a laptop with display size of 1280x800. it's booting in verbose, text mode. [18:31] Shinjin: Yup! [18:32] rukuartic: http://pastebin.com/d19c99cea [18:32] it [18:32] !it [18:32] Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! [18:32] I have two monitors, ubuntu 7.10, but both workspace switchers only affect my left monitors. likewise, if I type nautilus in console it opens up in the left one. what could be off? [18:32] Shinjin: It says hdb1 is formatted as ext2. Thats not the problem, but are you sure its ext3? [18:32] rukuartic perhaps a permanent mount point, my own preference is i have bunch of dirs under / like /u01 /u02 [18:32] it is a problem both with my new nvidia setup and the old ati setup [18:33] rukuartic: I thought it was but I could be wrong. [18:33] aight guys, any1 know of a program to pipe video through? [18:33] rukuartic: Im sure it is.. but why did you ask me that? fragmentation can be made in network layer as transport layer as well... I didn't say any weird thing... [18:33] i have a bit of a problem [18:33] Shinjin: Well ok lets leve it sa ext2 for now [18:33] hi quick question guys. For a DELL XPS 1330 specifically the Volume up/down media keys. Why is the icon that shows the volume indicator so big? [18:33] rukuartic: Okay, sorry for the mistake [18:33] seracht, it's always that big :-) [18:33] nightwatch: Not a networking guy, I just remember hearing something like that =B [18:33] Shinjin: Its fine. [18:33] iositd: can I make it smaller? [18:33] hi, i have an issue, when i turn on laptop, dont show me the loading bar , i have a black screen [18:33] no matter what i do to try to install ubuntu 7.10 on my other computer, it won't work [18:33] seracht, i think you can, but i'm not sure [18:34] rukuartic: ok, thanks for trying help :D [18:34] seracht, go google it :-) [18:34] Shinjin: Anyways, what we want to do is change where it says 'defaults' to 'auto,user,rw' [18:34] iositd: what is that called though [18:34] i tried the CD .iso file [18:34] I'm not sure what to search [18:34] checked the md5 sums === weechat_user is now known as AstralSin [18:34] Shinjin: auto means mount the drive on boot, user means users have access to the system, and rw means read write capabilities. [18:34] tried it on a usb stick [18:34] is there a way to add a command some how so it runs when i hit "shut down" ?!?! [18:34] Garth: Could you explain to us what you're doing with the CD? [18:35] rukuartic: Okay, do I need to keep everything lined up? [18:35] Shinjin: Its just to keep things easy to read. Its nice to have it lined up, but not necessary =P [18:35] is there a live cd text based version of ubuntu? [18:35] rukuartic: Done, now save it? [18:35] guys, on rebooting into my new ubuntu install my usb keyboard doesnt work. Figure a module not loaded. Whats best solution (other than ps2 adaptor) [18:35] on my other computer [18:36] i would download the .iso file from the ubuntu website [18:36] Shinjin: Yup, save and close. Now you'd need to reboot your computer to have fstab remount it, but we're going to try it by hand. [18:36] how can i start ubuntu in secure graphics mode? [18:36] and burn it onto a cd-r using the infra recorder [18:36] then, i would set up the BIOS on the computer i am trying to install it on to to boot from the cd-rom drive [18:36] What's up everybody in #ubuntu? [18:36] how do i start the text version of ubuntu? [18:36] rukuartic: Okay hold on a second [18:36] help... i'm trying to change permissions of my /archive folder (chmod -R 666 /archive), but it keeps saying stuff like "chmod: changing permissions of `nfslockfile.lock': Read-only file system" Soo.. why is it mounting this FS read only all of a sudden?!? [18:37] when i would try to boot it from the cd-rom drive, nothing would happen and i would get the windows xp boot screen asking me if i want to boot in safe mode [18:37] rukuartic: Okay done [18:38] Squawk-> i guess you can modify the initrd image to give you more waiting time [18:38] amenado, waiting time? [18:38] Squawk-> yes, to give the usb driver to load and finish up the initialization [18:38] Garth: When you burned the ISO to the cd, did you burn it as a data cd, or an image cd? [18:38] how can i start ubuntu in secure graphics mode? [18:39] as an image [18:39] amenado, surely all required modules just get loaded as and when, dynamicaly as needed or during boot? [18:39] Garth: Did you check any option like "Make this CD bootable"? (If you did, that might be the problem.) [18:39] andrey_: Not sure here as I'm still new to this but I think you need to hit one of the Function buttons while it's booting. [18:40] i don't think infra gave me any sort of option to make the CD bootable [18:40] Shinjin: How's it going? [18:40] Squawk-> somewhere I read, thats the difficulty of booting off of a usb disk, it didnt wait long enuff for the usb driver to get loaded and initialized [18:40] <|Prometheus|> how can i disable dma at boot??? the kernel parameter ide=nodma seems to be being ignored [18:40] anyone know anything about dmsetup and snapshots? [18:40] rukuartic: Fine, I'm just waiting for you to tell me what to do next. I had a little problem saving and had to reopen the file. [18:40] Garth: Thats good. And you configured your BIOS to boot from the CD drive? [18:40] rukuartic: It's done now [18:40] Shinjin: Oh, my fault! XD [18:40] andrey_-> what secure graphics mode? is there such a thing? [18:41] i want to write programs in gtk, are the include headers already included with ubuntu? [18:41] yes, the bios was configured to boot from the CD drive [18:41] I have /proc/bus/usb, but nothing inside of it - does Ubuntu do something differently? [18:41] amenado, thats booting for a usb disk, which could be bios related. Im trying to use a usb keyboard with a normal install. The problem I suspect is a module not loaded/compiled, but with no keyboard I cant see how I can load it [18:41] Shinjin: Try this command. 'mount -t ext2 -O user,rw /dev/hdb1 /media/hdb1' (where /media/hdb1 is that directory I had you make) [18:41] hi, i have a black screen on booting ubuntu [18:41] Garth-> you can verify too, if you just disconnect all your hard disk and run off of the liveCD.. [18:42] Garth: You shouldn't need to do that... [18:42] Garth: Disconnect your HD's that is. [18:42] hi, I don't know if this is a bug from ubuntu 7.10, but the command "df -m" and nautilus are showing that the memorystick from my PSP has 160mb free, but actually has 1400mb... why this is happening? [18:42] Squawk-> i dont see the difference, a usb driver has to be loaded and initialized [18:42] Garth: When you boot the computer, does the CD drive spin up? [18:42] Squawk-> it just takes time, so it has to wait longer [18:42] amenado, if your booting from a usb disk then the driver has to load before the OS. Im trying to use a usb keyboard under ubuntu, so the OS is loaded [18:43] rukuartic: Okay I typed it in. Nothing comes before mount right? [18:43] Shinjin: (assuming you're root) no, thats the whole command. [18:43] can't install ubuntu .. just stalls there searching for cdrom. New hardware e8400 c2d , ddr2 2 gig. IDE harddrive. [18:43] rukuartic: Okay because I didn't get any messages from it [18:43] yes, the cd drive does spin up [18:43] Shinjin: Thats good. Try to cd /media/hdb1 [18:43] amenado, even if you are right, how would I alter it? Given that I can't access ubuntu, since no keyboard? [18:43] i know for sure that it isn't a hardware problem, with the CD drive at least [18:43] I'm missing a plugin in banshee, can anyone help me figure out where it is and how to get it back? [18:44] Squawk-> oh i get you, you already are booted and just want to use the usb keyboard? [18:44] rukuartic: Okay I changed successfully [18:44] amenado, yes [18:44] Garth: And it looks like the computer's actually reading from it? What happens from there on out? (No... ...it doesn't sound like hardware) [18:44] how can I set up a PPoE connection in ubuntu 7.10 ? [18:44] Shinjin: Can you make files on the HD? (touch testfile) [18:44] Greyhound-: You're not on a router? :( [18:44] Squawk-> is it on the network? ie does it have an ip address and you can ssh into it from another pc? [18:45] rukuartic: No, I can't [18:45] no, that's how my ISP lets its users connect [18:45] amenado, actualy hadnt considered that, but is an sshd server started by default? [18:45] from there on out, it will attempt to boot from the cd drive, but will take me to the windows XP screen that asks me if i want to boot in safe mode [18:45] hiall [18:45] Is the updates server working right now? I just installed Gutsy on my laptop and it won't install the updates, seems to can't resolve the server or something? [18:45] amenado: sorry. correct is safe grahics mode [18:45] Squawk-> depends on your install, you could have added it but defer loading it at boot..so it depends [18:45] amenado, I can only guess at what configuration it has regarding ip addresses, since its a clean install and I have never booted it [18:45] Greyhound-: Ok... I don't know about how to set up PPoE connections, but from my router you plug it in, and it just acquires an IP address (no username or password). You might just need to run dhclient. [18:46] guys, I want to to run screen with a command from startup, from man it should be something like screen -m -d -X foo but that doesn't work [18:46] Shinjin: What happens when you tried touching a file? [18:46] andrey_-> it should be in the menu safe mode or if not, f4 to select the low rez [18:46] well that's just it.. pppoe requires user and pass [18:46] rukuartic: I can't open anything. [18:46] greyhound: the way i do my PPPoE connection is my router handles all the authentication and stuff ( i have it configed for PPPoE) and my router deals with it. I guess for it to be handled on your comp you need some sort of PPPoE sofware [18:46] Shinjin: Did you try the command 'touch testfile'? [18:46] rukuartic: I'm using thunar to try. That what I'm supposed to be doing? [18:46] Squawk-> well try it, from another pc, ssh into it [18:47] amenado, im installing ubuntu so I can cehck it out, see whats running by default, whats not, what needs configuring etc. I have good working knowledge of linux (gentoo mostly). But if I cant get into it once... [18:47] Shinjin: the command touch creates a blank file. I'm just doing a sanity check to make sure it can make the file. [18:47] rukuartic: touch: cannot touch `testfile': Permission denied [18:47] amenado, will have a go now, but I doubt sshd started by default in normal install? [18:47] Squawk-> am not questioning your know how.. [18:47] Squawk-> actually sshd is not installed by default [18:47] on ubuntu [18:47] <_uriel> hello [18:48] Squawk: apt-get install openssh-server [18:48] amenado: in grub menu? [18:48] anyone know if netflix works in linux? [18:48] rukuartic: I copied that directly from the terminal [18:48] andrey_-> when you boot it gives you a menu to select from [18:48] sdsheeks: no [18:48] usser, I cant get into my clean install of ubuntu cos my usb keyboard wont work (kernel module not loaded/not compiled). ssh was a possible means to get access [18:48] usser, bah okay thanks. [18:48] Shinjin: Dang. Maybe I'm not as good at this as I thought. >< [18:49] greyhound: you still here? [18:49] <_uriel> i need help not sure what can i do somehow the partition of my mp3 player got crrupted and isnt recongnized and i would like to fix it / recover the files from it, does any1 has any idea what can i do ? [18:49] usser, how about with crossover IE? :) [18:49] Squawk: oh bummer [18:49] how do I install a .package file ? [18:49] rukuartic: I think the hard drive is possessed. Took me forever to figure out how to mount it yesterday [18:49] amendo: im booting from hard disk, not live cd [18:49] Squawk: It might just be your motherbord doesn't support USB until its booted. I know my USB keyboard doesn't work until you're ll the way in the operating system. [18:49] Squawk come to think of it, i just realized DELL and others are not fielding usb only keyboard, so ubuntu developers should be aware of this and make the initrd modifications accordingly [18:49] sdsheeks: ie in crossover is crippled it doesnt support activex [18:49] rukuartic: Nothing wanted to work [18:49] Shinjin: Haha.. ...there's way to do this. I know it. [18:49] rukuartic, it does, I run gentoo on this box, usb enabled in the kernel, usb works [18:50] Squawk: Ok, I'm wrong then =P [18:50] i meant fielding only usb keyboards now [18:50] rukuartic, keep throwing out ideas, im open to anything [18:50] how can i get the full dns information about a domain ? i mean, the MX records and stuff like that. thank you [18:50] Greyhound: try typing "sudo pppoeconf" in a command prompt [18:50] usser, you are ruining my day :) j/k [18:50] Squawk: do u have a live cd [18:50] rukuartic: What do I need to do? [18:50] Squawk: does it work in livecd? [18:50] usser, yeah just installed using it [18:50] sdsheeks: im sorry :) [18:51] Squawk: so boot up from it chroot to your installation and install openssh-server [18:51] Shinjin: Well... a little research. You could try rebooting your computer and seeing if fstab handled it right... I might have had the mount command wrong. [18:51] usser, yes, thats why I figure its a module thats not loaded/compiled. Live cd uses it fine [18:51] Greyhound: read the second post on this page: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=138&page=2 [18:51] usser, it's okay. Just wanted to watch a few movies on my laptop, but I do have several vista boxes I suppooooose I can boot up [18:51] hi, I don't know if this is a bug from ubuntu 7.10, but the command "df -m" and nautilus are showing that the memorystick from my PSP has 160mb free, but actually has 1400mb... why this is happening? [18:51] Squawk: and then go from there [18:51] usser, excellent idea [18:51] rukuartic: Okay I'll try and get back on to tell you if it worked. [18:51] usser, kernel compile any different from other linux distro? [18:51] Shinjin: I should be here ^_^ [18:52] Squawk: nope its a pretty standard procedure [18:52] Has anyone installed GGMud on 7.10 before? [18:52] hi, I can't get my Fight Club DVD to play, I already installed libdvdcss2 from medibuntu repositories, and a lot of gstreamer plugins, any ideas? [18:52] usser, k, back in a bit [18:52] totem gives me this message about not having apropriate complements. [18:52] should i try formatting my hard drive so i get windows off of my computer? [18:52] Garth: come again? [18:52] Garth: what are u running now? [18:53] well [18:53] chuy_max: vlc player probably works [18:53] Garth, chuy_max Have you guys tried VLC? [18:53] I find it just works better. [18:53] help... i'm trying to change permissions of my /archive folder (chmod -R 666 /archive), but it keeps saying stuff like "chmod: changing permissions of `nfslockfile.lock': Read-only file system" Soooo..... why is it mounting this FS read only all of a sudden?!? [18:53] what exactly is vlc? [18:53] guys, I want to to run screen with a command from startup, from man it should be something like screen -m -d -X foo [18:54] grndslm: theres a nfs lock on that directory which means it probably exported across the network and maybe even mounted by other computers [18:54] rukuartic, HEP85, no, it doesn't work: libdvdread: Error cracking CSS key for /VIDEO_TS/VIDEO_TS.VOB (0x0001e710) [18:54] I had to reinstall Ubuntu... I'm trying to disable HAL in restricted drivers as part of wifi setup (which I know works, I've done it) but even if the box isn't checked, it says "in use" i've restarted and everything. [18:54] chuy_max: No idea. :x [18:54] Is there a terminal command I can use or something? [18:54] maybe changing it to libdvdcss2 ? [18:54] anyone know how to install gtk+-2.0 on 7.10? [18:54] but I don't know how to do it [18:55] usser: ok, it's an lvm FS that's used for mythtv... but i don't understand why i can't change permissions anywhere on that FS because it's read-only! [18:55] shigutso, is the hidden .Trash-yourusername folder in the PSP empty? [18:55] ahorriblemess: No idea. I just got an intel wifi card so I wouldn't have to deal with all that mess. [18:55] rukuartic: It didn't work. Stil having the same problem. [18:55] <_uriel> how can i fix partition of a usb drive ? [18:55] grndslm: hm even with sudo? [18:56] <_uriel> flash disk // [18:56] Shinjin: Ok I have a few more ideas. [18:56] usser: definitely with sudo [18:56] Shinjin: Type 'mount | grep hdb' and see if you get anything [18:56] kostkon, no... there is nothing hidden... PSP and Windows says there it has 1400mb free, but Linux no... check this screenshot [18:56] kostkon, http://img175.imageshack.us/img175/3701/capturadatela1oz1.png [18:56] rukuartic: Didn't say anything [18:57] grndslm: hm, what FS does it use? ntfs? [18:57] rukuartic: Wait, was that a bar line? [18:57] shigutso: Open up a terminal, cd into the directory. ls -lah | less and look for big files? [18:57] shigutso: Yes shift + \ on my keyboard [18:57] usser: ext3 [18:57] Shinjin: Yes shift + \ on my keyboard [18:57] usser: mount -l shows this -- /dev/mapper/BigVG-Filez on /archive type ext3 (rw,noatime) [] [18:57] rukuartic: Okay, cause thats what I put [18:58] Shinjin: Ok and you get nothing. That means that hdb isn't mounted... ext2 might be the wrong partition. [18:58] grndslm: hm i really have no idea why it does that [18:58] shigutso, ok, I see [18:58] rukuartic, I've already seen... there are no hidden files... check this screenshot and pay attention to the sum of the files [18:58] rukuartic, http://img175.imageshack.us/img175/3701/capturadatela1oz1.png [18:58] Shinjin: Become root again (sudo -i) and try mounting it. [18:58] hi, i'm trying to use backupninja between debian etch and ubuntu gutsy, but the versions of rdiff-backup are way out of line.. there are dependencies betweeen rdiff-backup and python.. any solution ? [18:58] shigutso: No, this is just to help you find big files. Not hidden files. You can add up the numbers and make sure its right. [18:58] how do i start ubuntu in texy mode? [18:58] ok.. how can I find out what chipset my wifi card has? [18:59] Shinjin: The command is... [18:59] Shinjin: mount -t ext3 /dev/hdb1 /media/hdb1 [18:59] I thought we dexided it was ext 2 [18:59] nm [19:00] i need help [19:00] rukuartic, oh sure... I saw that too... but you see in the image the sum of the files? 2,4gb... in a 3,8gb memorystick... 169mb free? [19:00] ubuntu needs better wireless support [19:00] rukuartic: Didn't we decide it was ext 2? [19:01] Shinjin: Yeah, it was a typo. My fault. [19:01] doesn't detect hardly any wifi cards and when it does it doesn't make it obvious [19:01] rukuartic: Okay it's mounted [19:01] Shinjin: do you see it in the mounted list? mount | grep hdb [19:01] Back|Track is good for wireless [19:01] I'd like to copy a file from Ubuntu remotely to XP. How can I do it? Is ther an FTP server in Ubuntu? [19:01] what's back track [19:01] rukuartic: I think it did mount on startup I just couldn't change anything [19:01] live cd supports most wifi chipsets [19:02] a linux hacking distro [19:02] i duno sudobash, every time I've tried it it's been no go [19:02] i'm not so sure backtrack is great for just anyone :) [19:02] around 700 mb [19:02] for ubuntu [19:02] I'm not looking for a hacking distro ;) [19:02] i love it [19:02] it does perform quite well though [19:02] rukuartic: Yeah, the list came up this time. One entry [19:02] I'm looking for a full desktop os and ubuntu is the bomb [19:02] i dont even hack with it [19:02] thats what i use on my laptop [19:02] ahwell [19:02] but I love Ubuntu also [19:02] I've used a few different "war driving" or "hacking" distros [19:02] i do, i'm a security professional [19:02] Shinjin: Great. Try 'ls /media/hdb1' [19:02] and Slackware [19:02] but it's not what I need or want [19:02] !enter [19:02] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [19:02] !offtopic [19:02] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [19:03] so hi [19:03] if I'm hacking something it's generally with words and such [19:03] ;) [19:03] a$$wipe [19:03] that's called social engineering :) [19:03] and its fun [19:03] Could somone tell me whats wrong with this command: scp -p 222 -r mknesco@mknetworks.co.uk:~/public_html [19:03] rukuartic: says lost+found [19:03] rukuartic do you think you are the founder or IRC or something? [19:03] IRC Nazi [19:03] MrKnights: you don't have a destination [19:03] sudobash: No, but this is a regulated channel. [19:04] My vista crashed today, i couldnt get xp to install because i have a sata drive and no floppy, so i decided to give linux a shot, im now in a fresh installation of ubuntu [19:04] how do i install drivers etc? [19:04] yeah i help people here everyday [19:04] Shinjin: So was there anything else on the hard drives? [19:04] or try to at least [19:04] sorry im a very noob [19:04] Jezz: drivers for what? [19:04] for geforce 8600gt [19:04] AstralSin: okay ill try that but it isnt even loging into the remote server [19:04] restricted drivers manual [19:04] is here anyone who can help me. I have big problems with lirc [19:04] rukuartic: Nope I just formatted it the other day. [19:04] i have ubuntu 7.04 btw [19:04] MrKnights: are you sure -p 222 is correct? [19:05] Shinjin: Aha good. Try putting a file on it. 'cd /media/hdb1' then 'touch testfile' [19:05] Jezz dl the sh script from nvidia.com [19:05] ok [19:05] er, s/restricted drivers manual/restricted drivers manager/ [19:05] no [19:05] don't get the script from nvidia [19:05] AstralSin: yes the remotes servers ssh is on 222 [19:05] not? [19:05] use the restricted drivers manager [19:05] How can I copy a file from Ubuntu to XP? [19:05] :S [19:05] its in System -> Administration [19:05] sorry first time on linux [19:05] ok [19:05] rukuartic: I didn't get any messages back [19:05] anyways Nvidia drivers are screwed up right now for a lot of people,,, [19:06] Shinjin: try typing 'ls' to see if youc an see "testfile" [19:06] they're fine for me [19:06] rukuartic: Yes [19:06] then again, i'm using an older chipset [19:06] what card? [19:06] i get this: [19:06] Your hardware does not need any restricted drivers [19:07] check this out... Im on an FX 5200 and everytime I run GDM it crashes X and corrupts Nvidia driver and also Xorg files... [19:07] Shinjin: Great. We're in business. Now to get the hard drive mounted for all users. Drop out of the directory (cd ..) and umount it (umount /dev/hdb1) [19:07] i'm upgrading my nic in my box to a gigabyte nic card, pci, and need to know if there are any steps i need to take to do so [19:07] I disabled GDM and use startx to run my Accelerated Drivers which is not very secure I imagine [19:07] draven: Shouldn't be too difficult. I'd just plug'n play. [19:07] can anyone tell how can i see man pages for exit function? [19:07] i can't get update with apt-get update it stays on the message; connecting to blabla i am not behind a proxy, dns is correct set [19:07] hi all [19:07] how do change the console window font size at boot time so it becomes smaller during verbose mode? im running on 80x25 right now, on a widescreen 1280x800 laptop display, i'd like to squeeze some more text in. [19:08] Jezz download the script [19:08] draven: not really plug it in if ubuntu detects it, it detects it if not well tough luck [19:08] dra\ [19:08] oh ok [19:08] rukuartic: Done [19:08] draven: but u should be fine [19:08] Hm, is anyone using synce here? [19:08] Lettuc3: http://fixunix.com/ubuntu/248181-how-change-console-size.html [19:08] Shinjin: Ok, lemme just figure out this command again... [19:08] rukuartic, are there command line tools that i can use to see what the specs are? or do i just check for the info under /proc? [19:08] rukuartic thanks. [19:08] execute this command in the dir you dl to: sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-169.09-pkg1.run [19:08] hello [19:08] my system has booted into some weird system where the keyboard is QWERTY instead of AZERTY and the icons are huge as are file windows, um help? [19:09] for some reason, firefox and flash keep crashing on me, there is no error message output tho when run from terminal, any ideas? [19:09] but you will have to shutdown X first like this: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [19:09] AstralSin: got it, i needed -P not -p [19:09] draven: 'specs'? [19:09] Shinjin: Ok I think this is the command. [19:09] just wondering... is it safe to apt-get dist-upgrade from edgy to hardy? [19:09] Shinjin: mount -t ext2 -o auto,user,rw /dev/hdb1 /media/hdb1 [19:09] that will drop you to a prompt and then you install the script like I said above [19:09] ie so i can see if it's set at full duplex and 1000 rather than 10/100 etc [19:09] saintsim: edgy->festy->gutsy->hardy [19:09] ah man [19:10] ok [19:10] thanks [19:10] saintsim: and no its a pretty dangerous operation [19:10] sudobash: hi need help [19:10] i wanna know how can i see man pages for exit function. [19:10] When I mount an image containing a DVD movie, I can view the VOB files in a media player (VLC Player). But how can I play it like in a DVD player, so I can click menus, selects language etc? [19:10] Hi, input boxes in firefox 3.0 are black and so is the text that I write in them. How do I fix this. I had the same problem in 2.x and I fixed it by replacing usercontent.css with the one provided with the gtk theme to fix that very problem. Now it doesn't fix the problem :( [19:10] Xman: I don't know if there are man pages for the 'exit function'... [19:10] how can I reinstall gutsy without a live cd? [19:10] jonnymac: does the screen flicker 4 or 5 times before X starts and maybe gives you a message about safe graphics mode? [19:10] is the server version of ubuntu a live cd? [19:11] no [19:11] twavisdegwet: Nope, you just install the server version straight onto the disk. [19:11] your resolution is just big? [19:11] 640x480? [19:11] low i mean [19:11] rukuartic: when i write "man exit" it says no manual entry for exit [19:11] for some reason, firefox and flash keep crashing on me, there is no error message output tho when run from terminal, any ideas? [19:11] rukuartic: I got an error message saying wrong fs type [19:11] well then is there a text version of ubuntu? cause my computer has no hadrive and i only want to hook it up to my xbox for internet.. what's the best means of doing this? [19:11] twavisdegwet: server doesnt have livecd, u install from text mode and it has no GUI installed by default [19:12] so i d/l the linux display driver rite? [19:12] <_uriel> how can i fix partition ? [19:12] it starts up just as usual but all the settings on the computer are differentm keyboardm desktop etc [19:12] you just want exit codes for ubuntu kernel? [19:12] Shinjin: Whoop.

BRB [19:18] i do* [19:18] Zakke [19:18] thank you [19:18] Lectus: use aptitude search [19:19] why? =D [19:19] Lectus, apt-cache search *something* [19:19] So, still looking for someone who has experience with software RAID setups. I have a few questions to ask =P [19:19] thats more towards programmers though xman [19:20] Hey Guys i see that the things that I posted is in Grman I know that you can't understand this [19:20] Isearcha german speaking channel [19:21] andx: #ubuntu-de [19:21] sudobash, ehh the reason exit does not have a man page is actually because it is a subset of something else, in the case you are referring to it is called a "bash builtin" and your nick is the fastest way I know to do something stupid ;-) [19:21] I forgot that that isn't my computer [19:21] what is the best IDE supporting C++ [19:21] anyone here familiar with wubi? [19:21] you understand [19:21] ??? [19:22] Thank you skold [19:22] andx, #ubuntu-de [19:22] I wish all users a great Day evening whatever [19:22] rukuartic: Back, I got my new postsecrets book today [19:23] zakke: you should have desktop-effects by default woth 7.10 [19:23] suxxor: Thats a broad question.

[19:24] CorruptTerrorist, www.ubuntu.com [19:24] ompaul: because you're a familiar screen name and smart... ...could I pester you for an answer? [19:24] Shinjin: D8 I honestly have no idea... There's a few things out there like umask=000 in your options, but I'm not sure. [19:25] rukuartic, careful I may fail better to ask the question to the channel (hint you now have my attention) [19:25] ompaul: Ever worked with RAID? (I've tried twice over the course of my stay here, no results =p) [19:25] test [19:25] BigDaddy2: Hello! [19:25] anyone here ever used wubi to install ubuntu? [19:25] has anyone yet used garnome to compile gnome packages? [19:25] rukuartic why hello thart [19:26] rukuartic, the _only_ way to do software raid with Ubuntu is to use the alternative disk [19:26] ompaul: now are you saying that because its impossible, or because thats the best way to do it? I remember installing mdadm and working on it myself, but I never got to fully use it. [19:26] Hi [19:27] ompaul: I'm looking to do a RAID 1 (mirroring) and I'm just trying to figure out if software raid 1 is the same thing as just rsyncing the hard drives ever night. IE: If I pull one of the two hard drives out, and put it in a foreign computer, will the computer be able to read it (assuming it can read the filesystem type) === rikkimaru_ is now known as rikkimaru [19:27] ompaul: or will the hard drive appear to be filled with garbage / unreadable if I use software raid? [19:27] rukuartic, if you were to travel from where you are to one kilometer from where you are there are two possible ways, the direct route, or walk/swim/sail around the planet -- I just gave the direct route [19:28] rukuartic, that is two of many possible but if they were your choices ;-) [19:28] hey i'm trying to make my mouse cursor move MUCH faster when using my Synaptics Trackball. I have the xorg.conf open but what do I edit? [19:28] Hi [19:28] libervisco: Hey :) [19:29] Anyone has a ma-660 or similar USB IR adapter?? [19:29] Not here, sorry ;_; [19:29] I'd like to set it up on Ubuntu.. I followed this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=206896&highlight=ma660 [19:29] but it doesn't show on ttyUSB0 [19:29] Anyone use that newsground thing? I forget what it's called, like NANDI or something? it stands for Not Another Newsreader something something [19:30] has anyone yet used garnome to compile gnome packages? [19:32] gawd darn it [19:32] rukuartic, ehh the kind of guide you want is for debian installer anything else is beating yourself up trying to do it - much more sensible to start as you mean to go on === bluefox is now known as bluefox83 [19:32] !raid [19:32] Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [19:33] I need to find a for GRUB loader to load the default OS without a keyboard attached [19:33] rukuartic, those guides work but man it is so much easier with the alt cd [19:33] I need a terminal based clock, does anybody know a good one? [19:33] * ompaul goes looking for something better [19:33] No, I don't want to type "date" :) [19:34] rukuartic, this looks good: http://knowledge76.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Server_Install_With_Software_RAID [19:34] ompaul: Well, the big important thing I'm worrying about is, lets say my box just absolutely crashes and fails and I want to move one of the two raid disks to another system. Will it just be plug and play? [19:35] rukuartic, if it is that bad no - what it saves you against is if the disks die [19:35] rukuartic, sorry if one of the disks dies [19:35] ompaul: Ok. So the only thing that software raid does is make the computer think its one hard drive? It doesn't change the formatting of the hard drive or anything? [19:36] has anyone yet used garnome to compile gnome packages? [19:36] zinox: no. [19:36] rukuartic, that is not the best way to think, do this [19:36] rukuartic, create partitions on both disks no FS choose raid for them [19:37] Has anyone used LAMP for setting up a web server? [19:37] rukuartic, then configure raid then apply paritions and install it will work out the rest over the next bit of time as it works out what you installed where and copies it correctly to the other slices [19:37] how do i replace the content of multiple files while making the name remain the same [19:37] Joe_S: Yup, LAMP is just an acronym for Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP / Python / Perl etc. [19:38] Rademaster22 [19:38] rukuartic, Can you point me in the proper direction for an UBUNTU version? [19:38] ompaul: Ok. I figured things would work that way. My fear is just that if the OS goes down, and I want to just transfer my files across from one of the RAID drives on another computer without the RAID setup it would work fine. [19:39] when I boot kubuntu, my screen is just black with the loading screen, how can I solve that? or how can I do that I only see the text loading style ? (same happens when shutting down) [19:39] Joe_S: Ubuntu holds its own package repository. You can run a command to install it. [19:39] rukuartic, Was the installation fairly straightforward? I'm a bit of a Linux nubie. [19:40] Joe_S: The command should be 'sudo apt-get install apache2 libapache2-mod-php5 libapache2-mod-ssl php5 php5-mysql mysql-server-5.0' or something like that. [19:40] do I have to restart after editing the xorg.conf? [19:40] rukuartic, Thanks, I check it out. [19:40] Joe_S: Each of those names is a package that contains almost everything you need for a LAMP server. But you can customize it yourself. [19:40] i can't get update with apt-get update it stays on the message; connecting to blabla i am not behind a proxy, dns is correct set [19:40] rukuartic, I'm setting up a website for a startup real estate brokerage. [19:40] Joe_S, try looking at this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP [19:41] rukuartic if the hardware is the same then you will be ok - if the hardware needs different drivers and is untested -- well I will let you work out that situation -- there is a balance between having always working machines and having great backups [19:41] Joe_S: If you use the alternate CD I think you can have it install a lamp server from the get go. [19:41] because i'm not getting any results when trying to update the xorg.conf to let me use gsynaptics [19:41] hello [19:41] drpcken: just restart the server with ctrl+alt+return [19:41] skold, THANK YOU! [19:41] been looking for that command :) [19:41] ompaul: Yeah, agreed. I was read somewhere that a hardware raid drive will only work on that hardware chip, and that operating system install [19:41] drpcken: np [19:42] rukuartic, Thanks! [19:42] ompaul: whether its RAID 0 or RAID 1, but I'm not sure. [19:42] Joe_S: check the link that rencore_ sent you too, I'm sure its useful ;) [19:42] rukuartic, -- not strictly speaking true -- you would need to tell the next machine what was raided and how it was and that the partitions where data partitions etc [19:42] rukuartic, remember you can rebuild it if it falls over [19:43] <[CroX]> Does 8.04 have a channel of its own? [19:43] ompaul: Thats what I'm just making sure. OS Host dies, can I get my files. [19:43] [CroX], #ubuntu+1 [19:43] [CroX]: #ubuntu+1 [19:43] Dang. [19:43] skold, should ctr+alt+return show anything? nothing is happeneing when I do it, or is it silent? [19:44] drpcken: In the terminl? [19:44] Hey guys, figured out ¨sort of¨ my usb woes. Turns out that to get my keyboard recognised I had to unplug my usb mouse. Anyone else come accross this? [19:44] hello guys, any expertise on TV Tuners here today? [19:44] :) no, i'll try that [19:44] Squawk: O__o; woah. [19:44] Hey, I'm having some problems connecting to a new wireless router.. I just can't seem to access the internet. Can anyone help me out? [19:44] drpcken: Wasn't a suggestion, I was just trying to figure out what you were doing XD [19:44] rukuartic, not something I even considered... [19:44] rukuartic, if they are personal then okay if a company then it depends on what the cost would be in lost data and in lost time trying to piece together what happened and really that level of professional support is better done by canonical [19:44] rukuartic: no it wasn't in the terminal [19:45] ompaul: =P Personal [19:45] /msg NickServ HELP REGISTER [19:45] when i did it moved to the next line and show ^] [19:45] drpcken: what are you trying to do, shut down / reboot your computer? [19:45] drpcken: i meant ctrl+alt+backspace, sorry [19:45] I dont suppose irssi is available in ubuntu, but under a different name? xchat is just awful when your used to a console based client [19:45] rukuartic, i was asking if i had to restart everytime i changed something in xorg.conf [19:45] Squawk: I'm on irssi right now. sudo apt-get install irssi [19:46] skold, lol np, thanks! [19:46] ubuntustudio installed the real-time kernel on my machine but it wont boot into it so how can i remove it? [19:46] rukuartic, then to be honest I would suggest that you use the second drive and copy the new data to a platter once a day so you just copy the delta between yesterday and today [19:46] drpcken: Ctrl+alt+backspace restarts xorg, so does /etc/init.d/xorg restart [19:46] Squawk, yeah sudo apt-get install irssi-text irssi-plugins should work fine for you [19:46] rukuartic, not all packages can be seen with the ubuntu add/remove application? [19:46] ompaul: Rsync? [19:46] Squawk: I like the terminal better. apt-cache search irssi [19:47] rukuartic, that would be good tar with newer than would be useful also [19:47] rukuartic, depends on your skill [19:47] rukuartic, I prefer terminal too, but as I said im trying ubuntu out to see what its like for family. I used debian a while back, so apt-get/cache not new to me (though im outta practice) [19:47] ompaul: I'm fairly confident with what I can do... ...this is just something I've never done before. [19:47] nevermind, i found the problem. the ap is WPA2.. [19:48] Squawk: Heh, I gotcha. [19:48] blind: XD Oh no... Thats no good. you'll need to use wpa-supplicant or something. [19:48] rukuartic, hokay got irssi, il brb [19:48] Squawk, you might like synaptic then, it's really good for what you need [19:48] ok i am installing a new printer on Gutsy, its a brother, but it doesnt seem to have the driver for my printer. How would i go about fixing this? [19:48] wow ctrl+alt+backspace doesn't play does it :) [19:48] how do I install software when in terminal the message "could not open lock file /............/- 13 permision deniad ........ are you root?" [19:48] matej: put sudo infront of your command [19:48] rukuartic, well imo the second platter with a couple of gigs at the start for a fresh o/s install and the second partition to be a ghost of your first partition [19:48] is there a command to calibrate the eraser head mouse (on the keyboard) the cursor tends to get sparatic at times [19:48] ompaul: could we go to /msgs? I'd like to talk in depth about this =P [19:49] and right now it doesn't even move horizontally, its random [19:49] rukuartic, pm me - back in a moment [19:49] Anyone know how I can setup my windows boot to include ubuntu? I have tried multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(0)\="Ubuntu" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect in my Boot.ini but not luck in have it start without rebooting my computer. [19:49] What options do i have to install printers in Ubuntu? [19:49] im using a 250W PSU unit right now, but as im only just using 1 hdd, a lame old video card and a celeron 2.1GHz on my ubuntu system i wonder if i could use a weaker PSU to save electricity, any tips? [19:50] hmm i used gsynaptics to try to make my touchpad sensitivy faster but it doesn't seem to work [19:50] why the file zippet with rar don't extraction make [19:50] Has anyone had any problems/experience with printing from ubuntu 7.10 an HP DeskJest F4180 shared on an XP machine? [19:50] my thinkpad x22 run on ubuntu 5.04 ... how to get Fn key to work? [19:51] can't believe. I asked a question about tv tuners, because nothing worked in the past 2 days. [19:51] DivineSpectrum: install unrar [19:51] After I asked that question the tuner suddenly started to work. [19:51] thanks guys! [19:52] DivineSpectrum: What is the native language that you speak? [19:52] Does ubuntu upgrade between releases well? [19:52] Is there a service I can install to share music with other computers on my local network? I used to use RhythmBox, but am trying to avoid having a user automatically login, would prefer a service to share a folder at boot. Ubuntu 7.10 [19:52] i've resolt [19:52] releod: You could try samba... [19:52] rukuartic: I managed to get the pppoe connection running :D I used pppoeconf :P [19:52] GreyhoundU: Tada! Congrats! ^_^ [19:52] hi, i have an WPA network, but i can't seem to enter the password in ubuntu 7.10 passwd screen, (the connect is gray) why is that ? [19:52] rukuartic, thanks for pointing apt out, irssi so much nicer ;) [19:53] anyone here ever used wubi to install ubuntu? [19:53] Squawk: np ;) [19:53] hi guys [19:53] rukuartic: I have AFP (netatalk) setup, I would also like to have the library on the ubuntu server showing up as a shared library in iTunes on the other comps as well.. [19:53] does RhythmBox have a service that runs in the background or any other software? [19:53] anybody here using a WPA network in ubuntu ? === Cpudan80 is now known as StupidSpammer [19:53] DB42 I use one [19:54] spq2, how do i enter the password for the network ? === StupidSpammer is now known as Cpudan80 [19:54] DB42: i use [19:54] It just popped up for me [19:54] it pops up [19:54] but when i enter the password, it seems to short, cause the "connect" button is gray... [19:54] do i need to enter it in HEX value or something ? [19:54] releod: I've never quite worked with iTunes, so I'm not too qualified to help you out =P [19:54] >8 [19:55] I've allowed Roaming mode, so it discovers the networks. Then I selected mine from the list and entered the passward [19:55] ur PassWord must > 8 [19:55] ownlinux, if it's not ? [19:56] DB42: My PassWord > 8 it works [19:56] DB42: have a try [19:56] and if i have a shorter password, what can i do ? [19:56] i don't want since other windows machins are connected to it.. [19:57] if u have shorter password u couldn't conncet the network [19:57] I believe WPA has a minimum length. When I set it up in my router it asked for quite a long passward [19:57] hmm.. mabye i forgot my passwd then :) i need to check [19:58] AFIK, wep is restricted to either 5 or 13 characters, WPA is not restricted in length [19:58] length >8 [19:58] I installed ubuntu, and at the end it said grub didn't install correctly but that it might be ok. It finished soon after, and so I restarted [19:59] I get a kernel panic when trying to boot the intsalled system now, something about not being able to sync because there's no init [19:59] and suggesting I use the init= kernel option [19:59] I've just built a new computer with a "Radeon Saphire HD 2400 PRO" graphics card and followed all steps on: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-546756.html but I still can't enable desktop effects, what am I missing?

[20:13] i have, and my friend has [20:13] so its not just me [20:14] I'm trying to install ubuntu, and X keeps failing to start [20:14] Hey, I downloaded Ubuntu 7.10 from the website and burned it to a disk, now that I try to start it I get errors - like this: "[ 593.999153] ata2.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x2 frozen" and "[ 606.0476770] Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block 0" Anyone know what's wrong? [20:14] I changed to vc/1, but saw no errors in Xorg.0.log [20:14] Cyntrox: have you verified your burn? [20:14] It says something like "X failed to start 6 times in the last 90 seconds, etc" [20:14] Eaglewolf: tried safe graphics mode? [20:14] How can I start the Safe Graphics mode in a installed ubuntu installation? [20:14] hi, what about if I have big problems with linux-image-2.6.24-8 and want to go back to linux-image-2.6.24-5 (that I've removed from my system)? repository show only last version, not previous ones [20:14] oh duh [20:15] what is that ubuntu version optimezed for vmware? [20:15] nino, it's in your boot menu. if you don't see a boot menu, press Esc just when Ubuntu is starting. [20:15] LjL, if you mean by the option when I boot from the disc, then it gives the same errors... [20:15] I'm used to text-mode installers, didn't think of that [20:15] !verify | Cyntrox, it can be done from Windows [20:15] Cyntrox, it can be done from Windows: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [20:15] LjL: thanks for the tip... time to reboot and try again [20:15] Thanks [20:16] hi [20:16] ello [20:17] I want encrypted swap [20:17] ehlo [20:17] What to do? [20:17] wohoo... finally downloaded and burned the iso... off to install now [20:17] kbrooks: isn't swap slow enough unencrypted? :P [20:17] kbrooks, you don't [20:17] anyone using evdev with ubuntu 8.04 ? [20:17] ompaul, Why? [20:17] is there a way to make VNC part of the startup? [20:17] what if I want a previous vesion of a program? in repositories I find only the last one... [20:18] wish me luck... and lots of it [20:18] Anybody else having trouble with updating to linux-image-2.6.22-14-generic? [20:18] kbrooks, see LjL's comment [20:18] ompaul, for security reasons I do [20:18] VNC as a service before login. [20:18] kbrooks: well couldn't you just disable swap? i mean, i don't usually recommend that, but if you have a "modern" amount of memory, it's pretty feasible to work without swap [20:18] i suspect performances would tend to be better than with an encrypted swap... [20:19] LjL, i cant work without swap, i have 256 mb of memory [20:19] !info cryptmount | kbrooks [20:19] kbrooks: cryptmount (source: cryptmount): Management and user-mode mounting of encrypted file systems.

[20:21] zero88, lpr options textfilename [20:21] ljl becuase http://solutions.brother.com/linux/sol/printer/linux/lpr_install.html it had my driver [20:21] LjL, how do i configure cryptmount? [20:22] ompaul i have installed the debian LPR driver for my printer [20:22] zero88: that doesn't mean you're supposed to use LPR. if you read that page, and http://solutions.brother.com/linux/sol/printer/linux/cups_wrapper_install6.html , carefully, you'll find that you can use plain CUPS [20:22] LjL: I get the same problem with safe graphics [20:22] ljl yes but cups does not have my driver [20:23] This isn't my computer, so I'm not sure what model graphics card it is, and lspci wasn't very specific. I do know it's integrated on a VIA motherboard [20:23] zero88, I use cups I have forgotten lpr but man lpr tends to explain it [20:23] ompaul k [20:24] Eaglewolf, lspci -v for more info [20:24] zero88, *read* what i gave you. you need the LPR driver *and* the CUPS wrapper for it. [20:24] ljl Aieh sorry im trying to go too fast for myself thanks, i will read it over again [20:24] lemme see if I can figure it out from here.. I didn't think to bring my laptop with me so this is all I have to get online with at the moment [20:24] heh. of all the times i've told people to not use envy, its the only thing that fully worked for me. -_- [20:25] there is any repository gnome 2.20.3 packages? [20:25] !worksforme [20:25] 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/ [20:25] ompaul: ha. well your ubuntuforums.org tells people to use it too. :P [20:26] in my gnome-panel systems monitor i've got something eating up 50% cpu (dark blue), but when i launch systems monitor proper, it does not tell me what process it is that's doing it, how do i find out about that? [20:26] ompaul: only reason why i tired it. [20:26] zinox, given how tight your desktop is tied to your base system I strongly suggest you stick with the gnome you want [20:26] AtomicSpark, ehh I don't own that nor do I support it, the only thing that worked - is a script that you may regret when you get your next kernel / whatever upgrade [20:27] Should I format my system HD before I install Ubuntu, or should I let Ubuntu do it? === GreyhoundU is now known as Greyhound|NB [20:27] L3ttuc3, run ¨top¨ from command prompt === Eaglewolf is now known as Daenyth|Rawr [20:27] Cyntrox, it's part of the installer [20:27] Squawk that does not either. [20:27] Cyntrox, let the installer do it for you [20:27] Cyntrox, yes, it does it for you === Daenyth|Rawr is now known as Eaglewolf [20:27] Okay, thanks [20:27] Cyntrox, or you are doing the same thing twice [20:28] if I want to dual boot Ubuntu/Windows XP, which one should I install first? [20:28] Cyntrox, windows [20:28] Cyntrox, windows [20:28] Cyntrox: Windows ;p [20:28] ompaul: I fully realize i just broke full upgrade compatibility. I still won't recommend it to others. Most people wont read the fine print that you have to uninstall it before updating. :P [20:28] Squawk, ompaul, xq: Okay =P [20:28] can compiz do LookingGlass style rotatable windows? [20:28] Cyntrox: Otherwise, Windows will overwrite GRUB (the boot loader) and it's a PITA. [20:28] Cyntrox, just install windows on the first primary partition and ubuntu wherever else you want, install grub, and your away [20:29] Aww, Windows is so mean [20:29] ConstyXIV, ask in #compiz they know way more [20:29] kbrooks, in /usr/share/doc/cryptmount/examples/cmtab.example, the last example is about swap [20:29] is there a reason why my monitor keeps going on idle after 5 minutes of not touching it (i.e when watching something) I have disabled the screen saver and asked it to consider itself idle after2 hours, but it still does it. How can I solve this [20:29] LjL, ty so much [20:29] does anybody have AWN working nicely? i cant seem to get the notification area applet working [20:29] Squawk for example, if it's trackerd, and it's indexing in the background, even when i do top, it won't show up eating up system resources, only the gnome-panel shows it as dark blue (labelled as IOWait) - neither top nor system resources show what application is causing that... or is that the kernel itself? [20:29] join #trivvie [20:29] Why does my usb audio device only allow one program to produce sound? When I try the "test sound" in sound preferences it tells me: "resource busy" [20:30] i mean, if i find out what application is causing the hog, i could terminate it. [20:30] ConstyXIV: Yes it does [20:31] buenas [20:31] xq, how? [20:31] Ljl hm for some reason when going to /usr/share/cups/models it doesnt have anyhting in ther [20:31] /server piscis.irc-hispano.org [20:31] ConstyXIV: I am assuming you mean something similiar to adding depth (i.e. Aero-Glass)? [20:31] L3ttuc3, not sure man, something useing 50% system resources and not showing up in top strikes me as odd, regardless of where its operating, 50% cpu usage is still 50% cpu usage [20:31] sldjk [20:31] LjL, I checked my ISO file hash and it matches the one that's listed on Ubuntus webside... Any other idea what could be wrong? === flo_ is now known as groovehunter [20:32] xq, something like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:LG3D.jpg [20:32] how do I go about rebuilding the kernel bzImage and initramfs? [20:32] how do i get beryl for 7.10 ? [20:32] hi...how can I update the boot manager ubuntu uses as default [20:32] I have looked through all the menus and don't see anything listed to modify it...I know it's easy..just not sure how === Greyhound|NB_ is now known as Greyhound|NB [20:33] Squawk that's what i'm saying, whatever's billed as 'IOWait' in that resource monitor applet does not show up in either top, or system resource monitor under default settings. i usually get that when trackerd is indexing files, but this time something else was taking up the processor time. [20:33] **gets LjL something hot to drink** good work sir =) [20:33] dannyboy20: dont you want to use compiz fusion? [20:33] dannyboy20: beryl's been discontinued and merged into compiz-fusion, which ships with 7.10 [20:33] zero88, i expect that since it's just a wrapper, you need to select some "CUPS wrapper" or similarly named "model", rather than the actual model. [20:33] ok yea that...how do i get it? [20:33] dannyboy20: you have it [20:33] Cyntrox: you should check the *CD*, not the ISO file [20:33] How can I make it so a user has no permission to read *anything* outside their /home/user directory? [20:33] dannyboy20 should be installed by default, you might need to enable it. [20:33] LjL oh, ok [20:33] purely SSH user [20:34] LjL: Ah... [20:34] do i just type apt-get install compiz-fusion ? [20:34] * Cyntrox feels dumb [20:34] benanzo: you don't. every user needs to read files outside of their own directory, for the system to let them do anything at all. [20:34] dannyboy20: if you've got your 3d set up, go to Sys->Prefs->Appeareance->Visual Effects [20:34] hi [20:34] Oh OK [20:34] dannyboy20: Compiz is installed by default, and enabled if supported [20:34] I've got a brand spanking new ALSA install and everything works fine, but if I start Audacity, it kills the whole sound server. Help? [20:34] LjL: I think he just means so users can not browse outside of their directories -- i.e. list files and "snoop" around the system. ... [20:34] How can I access the functions to modify the boot options for the default boot manager for ubuntu [20:34] dannyboy20: system > preferences > appearance > visual effects > extra [20:34] you can make it so users can only read what's in their own home directory i guess if that's what you wanted [20:35] xq, benanzo well, he'll always be able to. you cannot really stop them from listing, say, /bin, without making a mess. of course you *can* (and it's a good idea to) block them from seeing other directories in /home [20:35] theres a lot features that either i dont know how to access them or they r not enabled or something.... [20:35] hey guys I gotta funny question: is it possible to install any of the mac software in linux/ubuntu ?? [20:35] how can I make the desktop effects work on the livecd? [20:35] dannyboy20: you'd want to install compizconfig-settings-manager [20:36] whois nubae [20:36] i've installed ubuntu first time on a laptop, a lenovo 3000 N100 anything i should do ? power/cpu managment, etc ? === Xoferif is now known as Firefox [20:36] I lost several icons on the top panel including the wireless strength indicator. How can I get it back? [20:36] LjL how do I do that? is it just basically setting 750 on all the home directories? or is there something I can do to restrict just that user === Firefox is now known as SnoFox [20:36] hacknslash: that's /whois [20:36] oh ok..do isntall it from a terminal ? [20:36] Greyhound|NB: if you can activate them without installing anything, they should be activated by default [20:36] how do I make the initrd work with SATA devices?

How can I solve this? [20:36] Umm, can anyone help me? I'm trying to install ubuntu, and I'm downloading the iso file now, but I don't know what I do with it when it's finished. [20:36] LjL, how do I get the sum of an entire disk in MD5SUMS...? I only get one for each one of the individual files... [20:37] oh ok...imma work on it now then... [20:37] skwaHeriF: you'll need to burn the iso to a disk [20:37] So I love Ubuntu, worked flawlessly on my old Acer. Willnot boot on my new Acer (5520), who can help me get it running in my cheap Averatec 3200 laptop? [20:37] so I just drag it into a blank CD folder and click burn? [20:37] I can't activate them.. it says "could not be enabled" (I have an ATI xpress 1100 gfx card) [20:37] skwaHeriF, burn it to a cd using something like ¨iso recorder¨, and then reboot with the cd in the drive [20:37] sa2 does whois only work if the user is online ?

[20:37] benanzo: I think those are what you are looking for? [20:37] you can use any iso recording software, like nero, or a free one like ISO recorder [20:37] Ffs... Jonathan...

[20:38] benanzo: No problem, I restrict access like that (and most hosts do as well) for anyone that offers shell access or FTP access. It's security. [20:38] DB42: I'd recommend look up the linux on laptops files for that laptop and closely related models. [20:38] does anybody know how to install a BNC into a serve? [20:38] benanzo: Good luck. Come back if you need more assistence and feel free to ping me. [20:38] Squawk: I think he's talking about irc whois. ;) [20:39] Thank you very much, everyone.

[20:47] iptraf i mean [20:47] Parsec300, as in flying? no [20:47] So, I have 4 partitions on my harddrive and 2.5 gigs of unallocated space right in the center, if I were to put the ubuntu LiveCD in, and use Guided - find the largest free space, would it automatically pick up that 2.5 gigs of unallocated space and install there?

[20:49] taggartbg2, tell you what you do that and wonder why it fails - you need 3.5 at least and to be frank that is not enough for a usable system [20:49] marx2k_, get vnstat running in a crontab, google for vnstat frontend, and find the php, and have a looksee at that. its great [20:49] Parsec300, notification area, il remember that, thanks [20:50] Squawk: hmm, nope, doesn't sound familiar. I had it running on my boxes with Dapper, haven't re-installed since wiping and upgrading to Fiesty.

[20:52] Nihilist_Nerd, you do and that is the reason [20:52] any commands to see the temperature of my CPU or why my fan is always constantly working? [20:52] @ Nihilist: the latter [20:52] Bah... this is gonna drive me nuts 'till I remember the name. [20:52] ompaul: well, if i have enough space for another os left, will i be okay? [20:53] hey guys... [20:53] how do you check what group a user is located in? [20:53] i mean, if gparted says that only so much is used and i resize the partition to something bigger than that? [20:53] !hardy [20:53] 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 [20:53] ompaul: yea :-\ I figure I just want to be able to at least have linux support on this laptop. I may end up cutting down the windows partition at some point and installing ubuntu with some more space at a later date. For now I think i'm going to install xubuntu on the free space I just happen to have right now. Thanks for the input [20:53] how do you check what group a user is in? [20:53] Nihilist_Nerd, I don't know what you want to do - so I'll say yes if you are going to give it around 5 gigs for some inital playing around [20:53] I've accidentally deleted an attachment in the wiki [20:53] is there any way to revert it? [20:54] if i wanted to use a printer as a network printer, do i have to have it connected to a computer or just a router or hub? [20:54] sits, pm me and we'll see [20:54] ompaul: lol, the hdd capacity is 6 gb. i'm hoping to resize an old partition to give fluxbuntu some space. [20:54] zero88: depends on the router [20:54] Nihilist_Nerd, well you know my opinion [20:55] ompaul, what bash command checks to see what group a user is in? [20:55] ompaul: yah, thanks, but do you mean that it's totally crucial? will it damage my windows partition if i don't? [20:55] faileas its a 2wire router and has a usb connection to it [20:55] zero88: can it act as a print server? [20:55] please help, what command checks what group a user is in? [20:56] faileas let me check [20:56] well, the install failed... [20:56] x server error [20:56] EADG, oh, yeah not what I was thinking of at all. you mean ntop maybe? [20:57] Squawk, how do i check what group a user is in? [20:57] ac1d, grep username /etc/groups [20:57] hey, how can i see what proccesses are taking up my memory, top indicates that i only have 26 mb free [20:57] ac1d, /etc/group not groups [20:57] Is there any way to get the command line SSH to use the graphical ssh-askpass? [20:57] Squawk: No sir, not that one. Can't find it in apt-cache search either. But i did find nload, which I've never tried... [20:58] faileas im not sure [20:58] can ANYONE HELP ME with an X server error? [20:58] utnick, try ¨free¨ [20:58] zero88: then give it a shot ;p [20:58] utnick, but linux will cache a lot in memory thats not being used, so be careful thinking memory is overused [20:58] zero88: Look it up, download the manual. "Search" for "printer." [20:58] ok [20:58] utnick, it will free RAM up as and when required [20:59] faileas ya but do you need to install drivers if its connected to the network? [20:59] Nihilist_Nerd, ehh it won't but it will be pretty and usable without the space to download more [20:59] EADG, to be honest im guessing at stuff ive used in gentoo, I only installed ubuntu today as a trial for family [20:59] zero88: in my experience,probably [20:59] CorruptTerrorist: without a problem description, probably not [20:59] ac1d, try id it might be what you want but your question is unclear [21:00] I just got a Thinkpad x60 Tablet and I want to dualboot Gutsy and Vista. What's the best way to start? [21:00] nickrud, i have a pic of the error [21:00] CorruptTerrorist: so, what's the link [21:00] one sec... still uploading [21:00] Tu13es, if you can go for a clean install, partition the drive, install vista on teh first partition, and then do what you want with gutsy install [21:01] Squawk: how should I partition? [21:01] or you could resize the vista partiton and load gutsy [21:01] does Vista have a partitioner? [21:01] Squawk: Found it, bandwidthd. How is the trial so far? [21:01] can anyone recomend a gaming server, ggs maybe ?, that runs on ubuntu ? [21:01] Remember that linux can read/write from ntfs drives but vista can't read ext3 when you partition [21:01] anyone running hardy having problems with gnome? [21:02] Tu13es, fdisk under linux, dunno bout vista [21:02] client rather... [21:02] !hardy > Jewfro-Macabbi (Jewfro-Macabbi, see the private message from Ubotu) [21:02] Hey people [21:02] EADG, mostly I like it, with a couple of negatives [21:02] Z_o-s-o: how do I resize nondestructively? [21:02] Vista should have an option to partition your drive when you're installing.. XP did anyway [21:02] EADG, whoever designed the install is a genious, for a non techie user its simple [21:02] hello ubunuters :) [21:02] Tu13es : You can do it from inside Vista in safe mode [21:03] LjL, Yes I know it's a beta - I was wondering if anyone else had found their away around the bug yet [21:03] I need to get newest kernel from www.kernel.org/ I dunno how to get restricted drivers working the customones [21:03] Jewfro-Macabbi: the channel is #ubuntu+1 [21:03] Squawk: agreed. Very nice. [21:03] I dunno how to make them [21:03] Z_o-s-o: interesting, I'll take a look. Is safe mode still F8 for Vista? [21:03] I made linux image and headers [21:03] Lukasz: why do you need the newest kernel? [21:03] when does new version come out? March? [21:03] Tu13es - I think so [21:03] hi I can't update the grub menu.lst [21:03] permission denied [21:04] EADG, I dont like the fact that you dont set a root password during install, and for some reason my usb keyboard doesnt work after boot unless I unplug my usb mouse,which is just bizare [21:04] PulsarFl: don't forget sudo [21:04] Well Some people say the fglrx freezing is fixed on logout and ctrl-alt-backspace Ljl [21:04] is the default account created for me by the ubuntu installer not root? [21:04] pulsarf1: sudo gedit [21:04] nickrud, links: [21:04] !rootsudo | PulsarFl [21:04] PulsarFl: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. [21:04] PulsarFl, interestingly, no, you can su to root with sudo su - and then set a root password [21:04] thanks [21:04] !new version [21:04] Sorry, I don't know anything about new version - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [21:04] makes snese [21:04] no sound in ubuntu?

[21:06] caiao [21:06] I honestly don't know what to do about The fgkrx freezing [21:06] fglrx* [21:06] Squawk: my biggest complaint is codecs, having to recompile (I think thats what it's called) ffmpeg to conver vids. HA! Unplugging stuff to get it running is wierd. Oh... 'nother complaint is frame buffer is disabled by default, not cool for some one (read me) who likes to spend 90% of touch time in CLI. [21:06] CorruptTerrorist: hm, what video card do you have [21:06] nVidia 8800GT [21:06] How do i set up ubuntu so that when it boots, it boots into a text-only environment without the usual gdm graphical logon screen? [21:07] LjL you there? [21:07] Lukasz : what about fglrx is freezing [21:07] aiuto sono in cerca di aiuto per drive marvel g400 [21:07] It freezes Logout and I dunno how to fix it Z_o-s-o [21:07] What is the location of the root of the 'kernel source tree'?

[21:07] sp219, actualy wondering that myself, first day in ubuntu (used to gentoo where it just happens by default) [21:07] Lukasz : What graphics card and driver? [21:08] CorruptTerrorist: ah. clt-alt-f2, log in, run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg , hit enter for nearly everything, vesa as the driver, and 1024x768 and 800x600 for resolution. Then reboot [21:08] graphics card: ATi ATI MOBILITY Radeon XPRESS 200 (1280x800x32bit 60Hz) [21:08] Lukasz, if you really have to use a newer kernel, it's possibly easier and safer to just use the one from Hardy [21:08] !it | ubuntu_ [21:08] ubuntu_: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! [21:08] bullgard4 - /usr/src/ [21:08] what is Hardy and how LjL? [21:08] Lukasz: I use that one just fine with fglrx [21:08] sp219, and ctrl-alt-backspace just takes you back to the login screen, in case you were gonna tryi t [21:08] Squawk: sp219 I think miyarstim spelled it out for us. I was wondering too. [21:08] Lukasz, nickrud: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.20/+bug/107115 [21:09] miyarstim, cheers [21:09] nickrud, since i'm using wubi, do i hold it down while it's loading kernels? [21:09] I think i just found something about it -- called the "runlevel" [21:09] Lukasz, Hardy will be the next version of Ubuntu. currently it's not stable, but you can (no guarantees, but you can try to) install its kernel over Gutsy. that's usually something not recommended at all, but then again compiling your own kernel from kernel.org is not much more recommended [21:09] sp219, runlevels i was gonna look for when I played about with ubuntu for a bit, for now im satisfied its quite nice here, so im off back to my gentoo ;). Thanks for the good expereince guys, ubuntu now gets my firm recomendations to new users [21:09] Lukasz : are you running the latest Ati 8-02 driver? [21:10] come si va dove c? e' l'italiano??? [21:10] ubuntu_: /join #ubuntu-it [21:10] yeah Z_o-s-o [21:10] Lukasz : it fixed the same issue for my 1300 Pro [21:10] ahhh [21:10] ok I use hardy then hehe :) [21:10] sp219: miyarstim gave us the easy way to do it. update-rc.d -f gdm remove [21:10] dove italia? [21:10] Url pls? [21:10] ubuntu_: scrivi /join #ubuntu-it [21:10] sp219 - you used to be able to specify the runlevel you wanted at the grub boot screen by adding the runlevel to the end of the kernel line. Not sure that works on ubuntu though - that was on a Debian system [21:11] I got it [21:11] CorruptTerrorist: oh, wubi. I have no idea what's gonna happen with an 8800gt and wubi, sorry. [21:11] re-enable with update-rc.d -f gdm defaults [21:11] danand: I doubt that your answer is correct. [21:11] LjL link to Hardy pls [21:11] LjL: hm. wonder why I never ran into that. [21:11] sup yall [21:11] !hardy > lukasz (lukasz, see the private message from Ubotu) [21:11] miyarstim: thanks, gonna rebootthis lappy :) [21:12] bullgard4 - like i said - that worked on Debian... not sure it works for Ubuntu [21:12] anyone here an Ubuntu expert? [21:12] I should download HardyHeron/Alpha5? [21:12] Lukasz: enable the hardy repositories, install the kernel, then *disable* the repositories. [21:12] CorruptTerrorist: the main issue is the 8800gt is too new to have full support from the ubuntu drivers, and I don't have a clue to how wubi gets itself running [21:12] I got no Linux atm [21:12] any1 familiar bash here [21:12] danand: Thank you very much for commenting.

[21:30] is it possible to change in Kaffeine, how big the step is to skip forward or backward? because it does it with 20 sec thats too much :s [21:30] Indiadev_Techie: I think I did [21:30] Indiadev_Techie, i did some googling for him and found him an article [21:30] dhcdbd: message_handler: message handler not foudn under /com/redhat/dhcp/eth1 for sub-path eth1.dbus.get.host_name [21:30] DB42: did it say "Schedule failed." ? [21:30] and for domain_name and nis_doman and nis_servers [21:30] nop [21:30] EADG, will do [21:30] thanks [21:31] TrustNoOne: But not without the need of Outlook... ;) Ill have to install it tomorrow... [21:31] nalioth, hey? [21:31] JAVA [21:31] DB42: Have you tried "creating" the same network [21:31] if i de-load modules in my laptop (like sound card, touchpad, etc..) does it reduce power consumption ? [21:31] How can I get flash to work in opera [21:31] good moaning [21:32] wx9j: sorry, mis-typed last msg, should read fat32 is 4Gb... [21:32] nullmind: no, what is that ? [21:32] EADG thanks for the info, I have been using VFAT and that is limited in size, NTFS will make things easier [21:32] I just installed swiftfox and a page isn't loading correctly... (Facebook Status Updates).. Any reason why? It works fine with FF, FF3, Epiphany, IE, etc... [21:32] What do I type in front of terminal commands to get root? [21:32] * Flare183 moaning [21:32] heheh [21:32] I think my computer has booted into safe mode automatically, graphics are huge and all default settings have weirdly changed and I have an essay to finish, help? [21:32] frold, yeah, thats why i used web based email like google, its so much simpler :D [21:32] wx9j: how would ntfs be easier? last time i used linux to write to it the partition got messed [21:33] Indiadev_Techie: and TrustNoOne sad there aing any .pst --> convert to... But most sad is Im such a noob that didnt exportet to CVS instead of .pst how could I know it was a "closed" or "protected" format [21:33] AlbinoClock: sudo (super user do) [21:33] How can I get flash to work in opera? [21:33] thank you [21:33] well you can take to another comp with outlook, import it, then export as CVS, then once thats done, use webmail from now on :p [21:33] EDGA I don't need to worry about size with the NTFS right ? was going to go 5 g for win, 10 for Linux and 100 g for NTFS for data [21:34] DB42: From the nm-applet select "Create new wireless network" using the same info [21:34] TrustNoOne: I have many emails and need one place to collect my daily mails and I need a calendar solution as well.... [21:34] DB42: that's how I connect to ad-hoc networks for example [21:34] nullmind: isn't that for ad-hock network ? [21:34] lex, not sure , that is why I was asking, with vfat I was liimited to 32 g per pertation [21:34] TrustNoOne: email = email accounts... [21:34] but this isn't a ad-hoc network [21:34] DB42: Yes, but for a bad driver it may work [21:34] frold, yeah well if you need it, you need it, just webmail is easier IMO [21:34] DB42: I believe 802.11 gracefully will join two networks of the same info [21:35] Anyone want to please help me? Swiftfox is not displaying a page (Facebook status updates) correctly - It works with all other browsers though [21:35] (anyone correct me if I am wrong) [21:35] I tried sudo cat /dev/random > /dev/audio1 but permission was denied [21:35] k [21:35] Why? :( [21:35] wx9j: I'd add abit more for Linux, once you discover apt-get/Synaptic the Gb's can get chewed up pretty fast. [21:35] ep2011: Swiftfox has problems.... it's not Firefox [21:35] TrustNoOne: Yeah - most of my account have a webinterface as well... [21:35] nullmind, Oh... I didn't know it has problems... I thought it was just firefox with some tweaks? [21:36] nullmind: why isn't there no debug msgs for netowrk connection attempts ? [21:36] anyone got an idea what's happened to my computer? I am severely Ubuntly challenged but hate the other operating system i was dependant on... [21:36] wpa_supplemnt doesn't output the stuff somewherE? [21:36] ep2011: it is, and the tweaks are optimizations which can obscure, and it has a separate code trunk that needs to be updated upstream [21:36] approximately how long does it take to compile a custom kernel? [21:36] jdk-1_5_0_14-linux-i586.bin: 413: ./install.sfx.3540: not found [21:36] i got this error when i did sh jdk.... [21:36] DB42: I'm not sure what role WPA_Supplicant plays in the Wifi stack these days [21:36] EADG, OK I will do that, say 20 g, I store all my data and such on the common partation, but now when I do the new hardrive I will use NTFS for the common. [21:37] wx9j: Not that linux programs are overly large, it's just that I find people install 'em to check 'em out, and they just sit there... taking up space. [21:37] I have two soundcards on my machine, one of which is on-board, but I've never actually used them until now. Ubuntu sees them, and I can use the audio mixers, but I'm not getting any sound. One of them uses ALSA, the other uses OSS. [21:37] * Javid punts nullmind * [21:37] Javid: hey nick [21:37] can anyone answer a dual-monitor question? [21:37] Javid: how is merlin? [21:37] Is there a way to restore default fonts? I overwrote some mono-space font with this peculiar one and I don't know what it is. [21:37] hi all. any experts on Gutsy and Broadcom 43xx [21:37] nullmind, is there an alternative to do something to firefox to make it like swiftfox? the speed boost is really nice and I don't really know if I can go back.. lol [21:37] ask remmy, i'm in idaho [21:37] !ppc [21:37] nullmind: does't help [21:37] PowerPC. Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy.

I'll be back in a few [21:38] !sound | AlbinoClock [21:38] AlbinoClock: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

So everything works fine with the Broadcom after enabling it. [21:38] thanks void^ [21:38] I have a monitor and a TV hooked up to my NVIDIA card, is there any way to make each monitor a separate work space? [21:38] :v [21:38] Indiadev_Techie: If I could [21:38] Thanks. [21:38] russel: but after i log out/reboot - it only works if i disable/renable [21:39] wx9j: yep, NTFS will work for both OS's. Windows can read ext3 with drivers too... that's anouther option, but I have no experiance with that... don't know any pros/cons. [21:39] anybody else here can help me troubleshoot my wi-fi network issues ? [21:39] Db42 what is it? [21:39] frold: k lemme google it up for u.... [21:39] russel: is there a way to load it at startup or login? [21:39] Indiadev_Techie: I dont understand [21:40] frold: i can't seem to connect to my WPA home network (but i can connect to unencrtyped networks) [21:40] EADG, I was unaware that Linux could now handle NTFS, was still stuck in VFAT days, thanks. Time to get to formating this new drive. [21:40] ethand: look at the pm i sent you [21:40] when i connect to my WPA network, it starts ok (1 led, 2 led, signal strench icons) then it immidetly fails [21:40] ethand: talk in that [21:40] wx9j: just be cautious writing to NTFS with linux [21:40] DB42: whats your WIFI controller the one in Ubuntu 7.10 or? [21:41] frold: yes, the builtin one [21:41] I can recommand WICD instead of the default one, DB42 [21:41] nabend! hey kann mir einer verraten wo die Helligkeitseinstellungen zu finden sind wenn der shortcut streikt? [21:41] what is that ?

[22:02] how do i run the gui without the tray ? [22:02] does anyone know an application that can adjust the overall bass of my audio? [22:02] my problem is that Metacity isnt starting when gnome starts [22:02] i dont have the correct power box for my speakers so i cant have much bass on [22:02] Cew27: no it is the command line interface [22:03] Cew27: http://wooledge.org/mywiki/BashGuide [22:03] It might be but why having PCM and master - I just want to be able to mute, or turn the sound up and down...

[22:39] brambo: yes [22:39] compiz works just fine with kde :-> [22:39] CorruptTerrorist: it's hard for me to tell since I can't see your entire list, but select the one that says "Geforce series" or series 8 or something of that effect [22:40] I ended up having to put a script in ~/.kde/Autostart but I don't know that that's 100% necessary [22:40] DB44, I cant check it, im in gentoo atm, but try searching "google", rathern that google earth [22:40] CorruptTerrorist: if it isn't "right" you can always reconfigure / change it [22:40] Squawk: i did [22:40] usser: now how do i get into setting to turn on wobble windows, etc? [22:40] usser: to help program easily ? [22:40] I just installed a new gnome panel aplet ... but it doesn't appear in the "add to panel" window ..... what do i do ??? [22:40] brambo: hm they should be enabled if all went well [22:41] usser: no they aren't...just smoother window moving and when i minimize stuff its nicer looking [22:41] There was a new release of python today, how long do you think it will take until that hits apt? [22:41] lex, displayconfig-gtk: Fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server :9.0. [22:41] DB44: nope not even, im sorry but digging through piles of api docs [22:42] tom2002: right click the panel and in the add to panel option create a custom application launcher that will run the program. you'll have to know the command line command to invoke it though [22:42] DB44: and including whole trees of objects just to get a single one that is buried under makes apps bloated beyond belief [22:42] what the best settings for spamassassin in Evolution, anyone knows a good link? [22:42] CorruptTerrorist: put gksu in front of that. have to be privelaged [22:42] brambo: well in terminal type sudo apt-get install ccsm [22:42] Anyone here know what's involved in switching Ubuntu 7.10 to use a 2.2 or 2.4 kernel?

[22:43] lex, doesn't work... black screen [22:43] faileas: Network card I just bought only has driver source for 2.2 or 2.4 kernels. [22:43] LVM is half voodoo, nobody is good at it [22:43] heh [22:43] How can I confirm my ssh port 22 is open? [22:43] usser: E: Couldn't find package ccsm [22:43] SmashCat: thats odd [22:44] .me has no idea tho [22:44] n2diy: like, netstat -ntpl or something else? [22:44] CorruptTerrorist: are you able to change the driver back? or is that not open anymore [22:44] it closes [22:44] brambo: oh sorry sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [22:44] lex, it automatically changes back after a while [22:44] faileas: Yeah, it's a pretty common Netgear FA311 - I used to use one years ago, but I guess the developers don't bother writing drivers for it any more... ;-( [22:45] CorruptTerrorist: oh, so it's back to the vesa one then eh [22:45] mage__: I don't know!? That's why I'm asking here! :) [22:45] usser: compizconfig-settings-manager is already the newest version. [22:45] usser: maybe i have to reboot KDE ? [22:45] brambo: oh alt-f2 ccsm [22:45] brambo: no [22:45] n2diy: then do it! netstat -ntpl | grep 22 even maybe [22:45] CorruptTerrorist: your using the 32 bit os right?

Wondered what's involved. [22:46] oh heh [22:47] * regeya notices that that url says 'gentoo' sry [22:47] mage__: yep, it lists it as "listen", thanks. [22:47] regeya: i know how to adjust this, thank you [22:47] SmashCat: hmm... why? something not working with the 2.6 kernel? [22:47] SmashCat: using a different distro [22:47] !compiz [22:47] Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion [22:47] CorruptTerrorist: download http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_169.09.html and install that. there's a HOWTO on the page as well. that should update the driver to the current one [22:47] Are there tools to mount iso's ? [22:47] brambo: sorry :-) [22:48] regeya: not a problem :) [22:48] SmashCat: 2.6.17 seems to be the oldest kernel in the repos [22:48] Slart: Yeah, looks like support for some hardware has been removed in 2.6 (although the hardware is actually on sale in stores) [22:48] !iso | jlulian38 [22:48] jlulian38: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning.

[22:49] usser: great now i have KDE acting like Gnome and looking better :) thx buddy [22:49] SmashCat: and there is no way to just add a module? or recompile? [22:49] Slart: Nope, Netgear FA311 ethernet card. Pretty common [22:49] though as it turns out brambo I just helped myself; I jsut had a script in ~/.kde/Autostart that fired off 'compiz --replace -c emerald' and I think that'd be a much better solution for me...so I helped myself :> [22:49] brambo: oh hey no problem, u should try kde4 its a shiny new release [22:49] lex, does wubi support 7.10? [22:49] usser: how can i do that? [22:49] Slart: The card comes with source for 2.2 and 2.4 kernels, but nothing for 2.6 [22:49] regeya: good [22:49] oh [22:49] neat [22:50] How do I use nmap to see what hosts are in the range 192.168.1.100-255? [22:50] CorruptTerrorist: no idea, but there should be an upgrade button in the System -> admin -> update manager [22:50] usser: can i install the new KDE through typing in terminal?

[22:52] CorruptTerrorist: if you have the screen driver i suppose. you should be able to use a "generic" wide screen lcd and it work theoretically [22:52] SmashCat: well.. whatever makes you happy.. but I guess ubuntu isn't really the way to go... perhaps [22:52] Slart: I'm surprised nobody has bothered adding a driver for it tbh. But there you go. [22:52] kde4.1 will be awesome [22:52] kde4 is a nice concept, really shows a lot of promise :-) [22:52] How do I view the MAC address for just one host?

[22:53] brambo: there's a nice set of instructions on the kubuntu website [22:53] arp -a | grep sometext ? [22:53] Cusoon959: grep? [22:53] Cusoon959: so arp -an [22:53] what happened to the source-o-matic? [22:53] its down [22:53] regeya: i am at http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/install-kde-4.html [22:53] ... [22:53] mage__: Oh thanks... I didn't know about -an [22:54] Anyone? Averatec 3200, Broadcom 43XX wifi? Tryed the guides no luck. [22:54] mage__: Nope, it's not. On boot, the system suggest adding the 8139too module. I did that, and the syslog reports the driver finding the card, however, ifup eth0 fails, so I'm thinking the driver is screwing up while accessing the card.

[22:55] kde4, while incomplete, is freaking amazing, especially how much changed between releases in so little time. I'm really looking forward to more being ported over [22:55] * regeya leaves to log back in under kde4 :-> [22:56] usser: headache* [22:56] miyarstim: Thanks :). I used -sP... why sL?

[22:59] usser: I think a P4 can handle Ubuntu [22:59] Hey folks.

[22:59] usser: too bad [22:59] Amaranth: yea sure [22:59] thanks [22:59] but how about ATI in ubuntu? really a PITA? [22:59] robboplus_: a 1.5Ghz P4 with 512MB ram will run Ubuntu great [22:59] robboplus_: What ATI is it? [23:00] Amaranth glad to hear that [23:00] Cusoon959: -sL is just lists targets to scan [23:00] * Slart runs xubuntu on a mini-itx thingy.. 600Mhz.. works great [23:00] Amaranth ATI 7500 mobile 32MB [23:00] usser: " and including whole trees of objects just to get a single one that is buried under makes apps bloated beyond belief" WTF ?

[23:00] up_the_irons :( [23:00] robboplus_: Ah, you should be able to use compiz then, but not fancy stuff like wobbly [23:00] manually or in a package ? [23:00] Amaranth well it's supporting OpenGL etc. [23:00] up_the_irons: Only nvidia and very new ATI [23:00] robboplus_: But it's too slow for wobbly [23:00] folks, anyone know a good package for controlling the camera [23:00] ? [23:01] Amaranth i read you [23:01] Question: anybody here familiar with "pen" for load balancing? -- I'd like to know how I could get it to run at system startup under root. [23:01] DB44: i find google earth installer to be a breeze [23:01] robboplus_: yeah, sorry; ATI and Nvidia won't release open source drivers AFAIK [23:01] Dingbat: check out the rc.d scripts.. [23:01] DB44: manually worked pretty well for me [23:01] up_the_irons: ATI just released documentation for 3D acceleration for r300, r400, and r500 [23:01] up_the_irons so what do i end up with when installing ubuntu? no gfx support or just some tiny one? [23:01] Amaranth: oh cool [23:01] up_the_irons: and for cards older than that we already know how they work and have great open source drivers [23:01] DB44: plus you're not dependent on repo maintainers to update it when new version comes out just download it and install [23:01] up_the_irons: so the only thing we can't currently make a 3D driver for is Radeon HD cards [23:02] robboplus_: i don't know honestly [23:02] it's ibm T40 laptop if that rings the bell.. anyone here running ubuntu on such? [23:02] robboplus_: With that card it'll just work on install [23:02] Amaranth: ah ok, gotcha [23:02] robboplus_: Compiz will also automatically be enabled [23:02] hola acabo de llegar [23:02] CorruptTerrorist: everything still going well? [23:02] robboplus_: Amaranth knows a lot more than me on the subject [23:02] Amaranth hm so it's integrated in ubuntu? that's amasing [23:02] robboplus_: i'm using ubuntu on my new T61 [23:02] robboplus_: Yep, we have an open source driver for that card [23:03] up_the_irons: This is sort of my area :) [23:03] torrellas de llobregat [23:03] up_the_irons i'm going to grab a newer one but for now T40 must be enough :) [23:03] Amaranth: cool :) [23:03] up_the_irons: That has an intel 965, right? Works just fine with compiz in gutsy :) [23:03] up_the_irons: err, in hardy i mean [23:03] Amaranth damn that's sweet so there IS support for it [23:03] Thinkpads are great for linux ;p [23:03] i lost my wireless conection all the time using the roaming.

[23:04] robboplus_: yeah the T40 is a nice older laptop [23:04] gracias [23:05] robboplus_: few apps i use won't run on wine ;p [23:05] robboplus_: if the x300 or whatever (macbook air competition) one wasn't so darn expensive, i might get one. [23:05] what is that thing that enables 3d workspaces on ubuntu? [23:05] Amaranth; thanks for the great work.. keep it up.. ubuntu would be lost without your repos [23:05] that lets you switch workspaces like a cube [23:05] excuse me im new on ubuntu and im trying to install my sound driver card but i dont know where to see what driver i need to look for someone could help me_ [23:05] bastid_raZor: Ah, those. You should really upgrade to gutsy :) [23:05] CorruptTerrorist: compiz fusion [23:05] any here use gusty pcc [23:05] ppc [23:06] Amaranth; gutsy doesn't need you anymore? [23:06] i lost my wireless conection all the time using the roaming. what could be the problem? [23:06] excuse me im new on ubuntu and im trying to install my sound driver card but i dont know where to see what driver i need to look for someone could help me? [23:06] argh... my sound no work!! [23:06] bastid_raZor: Nope, the packages in gutsy are newer than the ones in my repo. My repo was a backport of the stuff we were doing in gutsy and I stopped updating it around the time of gutsy beta. [23:07] CorruptTerrorist: so you got the driver installed and the resolution changed? [23:07] do you have any idea how to force 5.1 sound into VLC (ubuntu 7.10 realtek ALC882) ? [23:07] lex, no [23:07] i'm gonna upgrade to 7.10 first i think [23:07] bastid_raZor: If you have gutsy-backports enabled you'll also get a version even better than was in gutsy release :) [23:07] CorruptTerrorist: then don't bother trying to fix other issues until you do :-p [23:07] i lost my wireless conection all the time using the roaming. what could be the problem? [23:08] heh, easy question: i'm running ubuntu 7.10, stock window manager (gnome), how do i get my desktop icons to appear on the *right* side by default? [23:08] Amaranth; interesting. that is good to know. [23:08] CorruptTerrorist: also, if you didn't know, there aren't "official" X-Fi drivers out, just beta x64 ones that I know of [23:08] is it safe to shrink my C (NTFS) partition with gparted from the ubuntu 7.10 liveCD? [23:08] lex, x-fi? [23:09] Greyhound|NB: what Windows version do you have on C? [23:09] Greyhound|NB: windows xp or vista? [23:09] mahmoud2: xp sp2 [23:09] should be ok [23:09] CorruptTerrorist: never mind, i thought since you had an 8800 you might also have a soundblaster X-fi sound card too [23:09] excuse me im new on ubuntu and im trying to install my sound driver card but i dont know where to see what driver i need to look for....... someone could help me? [23:10] there's no chance of data loss, is there? [23:10] lex, built-in Realtek [23:10] Greyhound|NB: Oh, there is [23:10] gRaCiOsO: open a terminal, and type "lspci" no quotes, and see how it identifies your sound device [23:10] I really need some one to one help. My computer has screwed up and I have three essays on the go [23:10] Greyhound|NB; from my experience you'll still have to do a repair on windows with the install CD.. windows puts system files all over a partition and some will be erased [23:10] i lost my wireless conection all the time using the roaming. what could be the problem? [23:10] which 7.10 works faster? desktop or server? [23:11] i mean what are the main differences? [23:11] robboplus_: probably server cuz its CLI [23:11] the partition is 28 GB GB, of which 14 GB are free and I want to make a 5 GB partition for ubuntu out of those 14 GB that are free... [23:11] Greyhound|NB: for the best results, boot the windows install and defrag a few times in an attempt to move everything you can to the inner parts of the drives platter [23:11] robboplus_: server is to.. run a server, and does not have a GUI.. desktop is for a desktop/laptop and has a GUI [23:11] IndyGunFreak: i tryied it but i did not know what was the sound driver card name if i do a pastebin of it could u see and help me with that? [23:11] so server one isn't the one for fancy desktops etc. [23:11] gRaCiOsO: sure.. [23:11] i [23:11] robboplus_, desktop gives you a desktop computer, server gives you a gui-less server. [23:11] I [23:12] i lost my wireless conection all the time using the roaming. what could be the problem? [23:12] the computer keeps booting into safe mode, I can't recover my documents and am beginning to freak out a little bit [23:12] No , Brasilian [23:12] suse [23:12] i lost my wireless conection all the time using the roaming. what could be the problem? [23:12] robboplus_, the only (main) difference is the default packages.

[23:16] I've rebooted several times [23:16] i am connected to the internet but the network manager doesnt think so, this is a problem because some apps (pidgin) relayy on the net manager [23:16] how do I do that?

I found this link: http://www.debuntu.org/how-to-install-ubuntu-over-lvm-filesystem, which gets me to being able to see the volgroup, but the installer still doesn't see the paritions. How do I get the installer to see them as well? [23:19] bastid_raZor: no, it was for him, but that's what i was getting to; you just beat me to the punch [23:19] Mega_byte: it should be the same way as a normal install [23:19] how do I ring the "bell" on the other end of an SSH connection?

[23:21] negatron, no mac here [23:21] ARGH!!! i need to download the 7.10 distro which has the wubi on it [23:21] in u macbook [23:22] Mega_byte: it should work the same way as for a real install [23:22] it mount a disk [23:22] yes [23:22] jonnymac: eh, just leave it what it's at; for the most part the default settings should be ok. when the resolution comes around just make sure the check 1024x786 and up [23:22] stormze2, i doubt it... [23:22] what is the path of this mounted image ? [23:22] hmm [23:22] Stormx2: the alt. install cd is a separte ISO file...

I think there is a script you can run also and you could check synaptic [23:31] lex, ok thanks [23:31] zphinx what are the errors you are getting? [23:31] zphinx: you should be able to install with all the generic drivers then change them later [23:31] no screen availible *x* [23:32] cant remember the resolution.

[23:34] how could he do that when booting live cd [23:34] if he isnt at a prompt [23:34] i guess the xorg files couldbe corrupt === z4w3p is now known as z4w3p_ [23:34] oh, i was under the assumption that he'd already installed but it was botching on the startup [23:34] the iso he downloaded [23:35] maybe he did [23:35] lex did you finish install or not?

[23:38] i swear... google is your friend. [23:38] jonnymac: remember that second linux option on the GRUB; try loading that [23:38] have already tried that, it's just the same resolution [23:38] sudobash, ok i will try that new link you said [23:38] ok, so i have this computer with three six gig drives in it, and i want to rename the extra two fujitsu and maxtor respectivly for /dev/hdd and /dev/hdb, how can i do this?

[23:40] Yay! Got my new network card working, and it only took 2 hours! Turns out that Ubuntu stores information about new network cards in some rules file. Every time a new card is added, OR a card is changed, the number is incremented, and the old, nonexistant hardware is left assigned to the old number. So as I'd tried several cards, my eth card was actually eth4 - even though there were no other cards in the machine. Great! [23:40] sudobash: oh ok [23:41] odd...
