[00:00] billy: I made a small tutorial already in a forum I visit http://usalug.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=103507#103507 [00:00] co0lingFir3, dvdrip. [00:00] sweet thanks [00:00] bazhang: there? [00:00] no need for 32bit browser [00:00] UnSuNgLoSeR: yea i had that error too [00:00] stability, and security [00:00] unop I typed "sudo useradd -G admin $USER" and pressed enter [00:00] keit1: And it has flash under .flv, too. [00:00] ChaosTheory: billy: then flash should be working if you see that in "about:plugins" [00:00] cope57 it says i need to log in [00:01] xs142, ok, now what does this report? grep -i admin /etc/group [00:01] linkinxp did u fix it? [00:01] Hello there, [00:01] ChaosTheory: thats really weird. I'd purge you mozilla folder in your home ~/.mozilla and start again [00:01] when is 8.04 coming out? [00:01] Does anyone here run Ubuntu on their Mac? [00:01] keit1: The required software to play this file is not installed. You need to install suitable codecs to play media files. Do you want to search for a codec that supports the selected file? [00:01] The search will also include software which is not officially supported. [00:01] unop, lpadmin:x:113:xs142 [00:01] orudie: april 23rd? [00:01] macd: can i rip 2 different ac3 audio tracks to avi container with dvdrip? [00:01] admin:x:117:root [00:01] I have to manually start Metacity after each login. For some reason, Compiz is still trying to be my default windows manager. How do I fix this? [00:01] orudie, it has been delayed by 3 months .. it's is now 8.07 :) [00:01] keit1: Can I do that through Synaptics? [00:01] co0lingFir3, yeah I usually grab the ac3 2.0 and 5.1 tracks [00:02] UnSuNgLoSeR: i just choose all available applications [00:02] billy: http://cope57.pastebin.com/m642777f7 [00:02] macd: great! i will try it asap [00:02] what are the main updates in the new version? [00:02] orudie, see the topic for this room .. [00:02] billy wait [00:02] linkinxp: tried everything!it gives me the same error! [00:02] keit1: I'm "completely removing" Firefox through Synpatic. [00:02] urthmover, I have a core duo and everything except suspend and Compiz worked with Gutsy, in Hardy Compiz is working with the new ATI drivers but if you have an Nvidia card compiz will probably work with Gutsy. [00:02] cope57: okee dokee [00:02] ChaosTheory: the video may use h264, have you enabled restricted & multiverse in software sources? [00:02] how can i remove a user ? [00:02] UnSuNgLoSeR: im not sure then :( sorry [00:02] co0lingFir3, if you have more than one box to use with it, you can run its transcoder in cluster mode, it really speeds through a bunch of dvd's that way [00:03] orudie: man deluser [00:03] ChaosTheory: no don't do that! [00:03] ChaosTheory: no need! lol [00:03] linkinxp: ne idea what i386 is neway? [00:03] xs142, hmm, beats me really -- the useradd command isnt working as it should [00:03] keit1: Oops. =P [00:03] orudie: for the hardcore, man vi [00:03] ChaosTheory: lol [00:03] hello [00:03] billy: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree nspluginwrapper [00:03] macd: i dont get what u mean? can dvdrip do it's work on more computers simultaneously? [00:03] Jordan_U I think I have a nvidia how do I check what video device I have? is there a command line util? [00:04] co0lingFir3, yes, it can, since its just a fancy gui frontend for a command line program called transcode. [00:04] ChaosTheory: look I gotta go to watch shameless! but w/e you do don't remove firefox completely you're gonna make more work for yourself [00:04] LjL, maybe you know why a useradd command doesnt have any effect for xs142 .. [00:04] keit1: Oh, okay. Thanks for your help. [00:04] cope57: it said i already had that installed [00:04] keit1: I'll retry everything you told me. [00:04] now what? [00:04] neone wid solid ubuntu knowledge,need help!!!! [00:04] ChaosTheory: i'll be back in an hour, meanwhile look on the ubuntuforums.org if you can't find help here [00:04] unop: dunno, why's he using that instead of adduser to begin with? [00:04] ChaosTheory: np good luck [00:04] brb I'm gonna slap in 2 more gigs of memory brb [00:04] billy, both of them? [00:05] LjL, he isnt member of the admin group -- so i suggested "useradd -G admin $USER" .. but it doesnt do much [00:05] I realise they're not part of ubuntu but does anyone know why when i upgraded last night i lost the resolution 1680 x 1050 on my nvidia drivers [00:05] not the pastebin thingy [00:05] urthmover, lspci, lshw, or System -> Preferences -> Devices [00:05] unop, xs142: try just "adduser $USER admin" [00:05] * ChaosTheory cries. [00:05] UnSuNgLoSeR: not really lol [00:05] knifepoint, chances are your not running the nvidia drivers anymore [00:05] cope57: bash: /etc/apt/sources.list: Permission denied [00:05] macd: wow that sounds fantastic [00:05] knifepoint, How had you installed the drivers? [00:05] when i do the first thing in your tutorial [00:05] envy [00:05] LjL, "adduser: Only root may add a user or group to the system." [00:06] co0lingFir3, yes, it is nice, I usually rip about 20 to the harddrive (stright vobs) then let dvdrip transcode them in a cluster queue [00:06] cope57? [00:06] complete removal and re installation and they're definitely running [00:06] xs142, prepend that command with sudo [00:06] xs142: yes you certainly need to be root. are you in recovery mode already? [00:06] when kernels get updated they usually blow out propiertary video drivers [00:06] unop, if he isn't in "admin", he isn't going to be able to sudo :) [00:06] knifepoint, well, once you bust out envy, I dont know what to tell you, other than remove it, and use the ubuntu packaged nvidia restricted driver. [00:06] damn! [00:06] knifepoint, Did the built in restricted-manager not work? [00:06] LjL, yea, but he was able to sudo before thats what's entirely strange about this :) [00:06] billy: System > Administration > Software Properties [00:06] can someone help me im new to IRC [00:07] is redhat any better than ubuntu? [00:07] enable all your repositories [00:07] cope57 don't have that [00:07] LjL, unop - Adding sudo didn't report any issues [00:07] unop, xs142: well, try "sudo adduser $USER admin" then, also pastebin your /etc/sudoers though [00:07] !best | UnSuNgLoSeR [00:07] UnSuNgLoSeR: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, join #ubuntu-bots and ask there. [00:07] yeah restricted manager drivers didnt work at all thats why i resorted to envy [00:07] helloo [00:07] KnifeHat: envy isn't necessary right now because the hardy repository has the latest nvidia drivers [00:07] cope57 just software sources [00:07] that is it [00:07] how do i join an IRC room? [00:07] o okay then wut?

USB? [00:12] the device manager detects it [00:12] how do i join a different server? [00:12] yeah USB LjL [00:12] ne78, just let it uninstall it, you can reinstall xmms2 [00:12] xs142, do it again in a virtual terminal (i.e. hit ctrl+alt+f2, login, type groups, see if there's "admin" there, then ctrl+alt+f7 to go back to your desktop) [00:12] ?? [00:12] macd i need xmms 1 not xmms 2 [00:12] why is access still denied to a file when i use sudo?

[00:14] c u later [00:14] through add/remove programs [00:14] billy, you need this .. sudo sh -c "wget .. >> file" [00:14] billy, because the ">>" is being performed by the *shell*, which is not running as root.

[00:14] sudo sh -c echo "deb http://www.dipconsultants.com/debian etch main">> /etc/apt/sources.list [00:14] like that? [00:14] kernel 2.6 smthing macd [00:14] UnSuNgLoSeR, I have a feeling you just need to boot the generic kernel, not the 386 one [00:14] anyone have their own ircd on ubuntu? [00:14] billy: Don't sudo the echo. Just echo "blah" | sudo tee -a /path === bluefoxx is now known as bluefox|gaming [00:15] UnSuNgLoSeR, well I need to know what the something is.... is it 386 or generic trailing the version number [00:15] i always boot the generic kernel macd [00:15] xs142: so you weren't added to the admin group. i don't quite undertand why... but do what unop said earlier: "cat /etc/{group},{sudoers}" and pastebin [00:15] billy, no, sudo sh -c "echo deb http://www.dipconsultants.com/debian etch main>> /etc/apt/sources.list" [00:15] generic macd [00:15] i have some problems with my pubkey login with ssh [00:15] UnSuNgLoSeR: I am having a hard time looking for firmware/drivers for that particular wireless card. Where did you get it? [00:15] UnSuNgLoSeR, meh doesnt make sense why kppp wouldnt install then [00:15] Ok.. this is weird. w/Fspot I exported an image to ~/Desktop/Gallery and I can find and open the directory with Tracker. However, I can't see it at all when I'm looking at my desktop or use Nautilus drilling to ~/Desktop/. What's causing this? [00:15] copyd succesfully to the remote users ~/.ssh/authorized_keys [00:16] UnSuNgLoSeR, what about « uname -a » [00:16] yeah i dont get it either:( [00:16] when i try to login it keeps prompting for the password [00:16] LjL, "cat: /etc/{group},{sudoers}: No such file or directory" [00:16] greetings all. i am trying to install a wireles usb mouse. the present config is for Ps/2. I am looking at my xorg.conf and i am wondering if it should be as simple as changing the Ps/2 entry to usb, and or, what the proper syntax for this section is if the mouse is usb. Also, of course, i am worried about being able to change it back if the usb mouse doesn't work, etc [00:16] UnSuNgLoSeR: Have you seen http://www.openpages.info/huawei.html ? [00:16] LjL havent tried that [00:16] can any one tell me how to stop kde resuming apps on login from the previous session please. [00:16] xs142: my bad - cat /etc/{group,sudoers} [00:16] xs142, this one instead. cat /etc/{sudoers,group} [00:16] UnSuNgLoSeR: tell me what it says [00:16] ne78, regardless of what you do, xmms1 isnt in hardy, and wasnt built against the libs in hardy, so you can 1. stay on gutsy 2. use xmms2 3. upgrade to hardy and compile xmms1 from source 4. build your own xmms1 packages for hardy [00:16] but when i boot through GRUB its says kernel 2.6 (generic) [00:17] LjL i am currently using winxp [00:17] d'oh [00:17] hello all [00:17] cant check it now [00:17] is there any way to change my logon session in gdm from the commandline?

LjL [00:18] macd, read the room's topic -- hardy not supported in here, #ubuntu+1 please [00:18] UnSuNgLoSeR, then i don't think i can help you without being able to troubleshoot using commands... just, make sure you aren't using the amd64 version of ubuntu (although it shouldn't really matter for kppp), and i've found this pretty generic howto: http://www.openpages.info/huawei.html [00:18] crap , i think i have it [00:18] UnSuNgLoSeR, i can't say without error messages and being able to look at files [00:18] ChaosTheory: do this then remove ~/.mozilla then reinstall again [00:18] unop_, why dont you tell the person asking the question instead, Im just answering someone.

[00:27] LjL thank you :) [00:28] Someone7, then add the metacity command to the startup tab, and it shall be done [00:28] unop... it didn't work :( [00:28] That didn't work. [00:28] I already tried it. [00:28] cope it said command not found again [00:28] UnSuNgLoSeR: install the lame plug-in [00:28] roffe__, what is the full pathname of that file? [00:28] I also tried messing with the gconftool-2 and it doesn't work. [00:28] Someone7, do you have some 3rd party piece of software installed like the compiz tray icon? [00:28] It keeps telling me compiz is my default manager. [00:28] linkinxp tried it mate!no use!i connected via lan to the internet!didnt work!something's wrong with my copy of ubuntu!:( [00:28] LjL, that could make sense, but sudo should really fail if groups doesnt report you to be a member of admin [00:28] /home/roffe/armyops/armyops [00:29] macd: i tried everything else, i have more and i want the playlist to be a flat list of full pathnames [00:29] Not that I know of, though I'm not sure. This computer came with Enlightenment/Compiz on it, and I thought I got rid of it all. [00:29] UnSuNgLoSeR: uff it didnt ask for codecs? [00:29] roffe__, what happens when you type just this then? /home/roffe/armyops/armyops [00:29] roffe__: think so [00:29] ne78, well if your into flatfiles, thats cool [00:29] LjL, unop - - <3 [00:29] UnSuNgLoSeR: if u think its the copy try reinstalling it [00:29] UnSuNgLoSeR: You'll need to state your problem more cleanly and succinctly for anyone to know what you're talking about. Details are good. Pastebins of errors and logs are better. [00:29] xs142, whats up? [00:30] unop: ./armyops-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [00:30] unop, it's solve, that would be a heart as a thank you :) [00:30] now how i change the cursors??? :O [00:30] xs142, wow, what did you do? [00:30] unop, recovery console, the two lines LjL told me to write [00:30] roffe__, try this command first.. sudo aptitude install build-essential [00:31] xs142, nice.. you had a very strange problem there but glad it's fixed now [00:31] unop it's installing something from the ubuntu cd now [00:32] roffe__, ok, you should have gotten rid of this error once that is done [00:32] hi to all i am nre to linux i just downloaded ubntu 7.10 server amd 64x, i burn the iso on to a cd, but the only file taht i see is a html file and the cd read 500+ megs i even try tobit strat with that cd but nothing happens [00:32] soon done, so we'll see :) [00:32] cant i just download packages for ubuntu using windows xp? [00:32] roffe__: otherwise, try sudo apt-get install libstdc++5 [00:32] i am burning with win xp [00:32] UnSuNgLoSeR: that's possible [00:32] !offline | UnSuNgLoSeR [00:32] UnSuNgLoSeR: If you need to download Ubuntu packages using another machine or OS, check the desired packages in Synaptic and select File > Generate package download script. Alternatively, try http://apt.byethost14.com/ [00:32] unop, command would be "adduser [name] admin" and then "grep [name] /etc/group" - - Now I'm off to ruin Ubuntu again ;) [00:32] Oh crap... [00:32] LjL, thanks again! [00:33] I think I've been hacked. [00:33] ChaosTheory: how did you fix firefox+ flash? [00:33] UnSuNgLoSeR, you could but you have to deal with dependencies of that package too, and you dont know what they are before hand [00:33] folks does ubuntu features any dc++ client? [00:33] Someone7: what makes you think that? [00:33] There is another user on this computer with space now called mekius. [00:33] Ljl I did that too, can't be bad I guess :) [00:33] !dc++ | Frederick [00:33] Sorry, I don't know anything about dc++ - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [00:33] UnSuNgLoSeR-> nope..stay with ubuntu, dont use xp to dowload packages [00:33] Frederick: yes [00:33] Frederick: hm hold on [00:33] There wasn't a mekius folder before...

[00:34] something happens!! [00:34] How do I change the root password? [00:34] the terminal install should do that (that is all it does! lol) [00:34] Someone7: you don't [00:34] It doesn't appear to be the same as the sudo password. [00:34] Someone7: don't. pull the plug, and reboot from a live CD [00:34] ChaosTheory: ^above^ [00:34] how can i monitor my network's activity ? [00:34] Someone7: Ubuntu uses sudo. so should you. :) [00:34] thanks [00:34] keit1: What? =P [00:34] keit1: I'm trying to fix my headphones + speakers, now. [00:35] hi [00:35] hi [00:35] LjL okay..

[00:35] hi [00:35] hi [00:35] hi [00:35] Clockwork: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:35] hi [00:35] amenado: (sry for that, I changed my key), I did not fix the bug but fixed the problem temporarily. [00:35] keit1: No, I just didn't put the other necessary file in the same directory. [00:35] could someone of you please tell me why it got executed now, and not earlier? [00:35] orudie-> its monitored now by the ip_conntrack [00:35] ChaosTheory: yeah not gonna have time to help you with that but glad you flash is sorted ;0) [00:35] keit1: Thanks. =] [00:35] keit1: Oh, by the way. . . [00:35] ChaosTheory: np [00:35] I'm very thankful but I need to learn for other programs :) [00:35] billy: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AmericasArmy [00:35] ChaosTheory: yeah [00:35] roffe__, your executable needed a shared library that was missing [00:36] keit1: I lose my wireless settings every time I restart. T_T [00:36] In Ubuntu you can switch CLI interfaces with Alt+FX, right? Well, when I'm running mplayer-nogui in one, i can't use the Alt+FX commandoes... is there any workaround? [00:36] ChaosTheory: you shouldn't... might need to do some research into that one [00:36] keit1: I had to spend 3 hours yesterday to get them working and I had to do it again this morning. [00:36] Wait, that folder was created before I got the computer. [00:36] nm [00:36] LjL i connected to the internet using lan in ubuntu!tried to download packages!doesnt work!ne ideas? [00:36] cope57: is it free? [00:36] keit1: In any case, I'm going to try restarting now (I just edited something with my speakers). [00:36] ChaosTheory: good luck! [00:36] i have a torrent file, how do i use it with aria2? [00:36] keit1: Thanks. [00:36] unop: ok, will I need to dl more shared libs for other softwares too, or am I set now? [00:36] tobberoth, if it's using the framebuffer, then i'm afraid those won't work [00:36] please [00:36] kazol_-> so you can reboot and retain the keys? you may have to look at the pre-up options [00:37] amenado: Yes [00:37] hah [00:37] billy: you were not asking about Americas Army/ [00:37] hello friend- how are you? [00:37] LjL: Allright, is there some other way of doing it? Using screen or something? [00:37] roffe__, if everything is working now, you should be ok. [00:37] UnSuNgLoSeR, should check /etc/apt/sources.list, but you really should reboot into ubuntu and come back here from there, so that we can give you commands to type and check output [00:37] how i keep my windows shared folders from being removed everytime i reboot from my desktop??? [00:37] amenado: I tried everything (I think that pre-up thing too)...nothing worked except this. [00:37] kazol_-> what was your solution? [00:37] cope57: nope, but sounds like fun lol, is it free and which version do i download? [00:37] tobberoth: not that i'm aware, but i can't say i'm particularly familiar with this [00:37] well, thanks.. I'm going to see if I can get ingame now... Or I'll come back here =) [00:37] LjL: Allright, thanks anyway :) [00:37] amenado: It's on the second forum post on the url I gave you. [00:37] Cheers everyone! Thanks for the help!

[00:38] How come there's no user limit in this channel? It might help to reduce flooding effects. [00:38] amenado: I told you, it restarts networking. [00:38] billy you like games, I have a few installed. http://img205.imageshack.us/my.php?image=gameslm0.png [00:39] amenado: It's all described on the second forum post. [00:39] i have a OLD Macbook running PPC ubuntu. and my USB G54 wireless adapter wont connect to my wireless network [00:39] kazol_-> im like pulling a teeth here, the post just says create a script, never says what does the script do [00:39] unop_: usage as in bandwidth [00:39] amenado: It runs "/etc/init.d/networking restart" [00:39] unop_: usage as in bytes sent, received [00:40] whoa why does ur desktop look like that? its purple lol [00:40] kazol_, why would users arbitrarily be limited from joining? [00:40] nobody here uses aria2? [00:40] hi to all i am nre to linux i just downloaded ubntu 7.10 server amd 64x, i burn the iso on to a cd, but the only file taht i see is a html file and the cd read 500+ megs i even try tobit strat with that cd but nothing happens [00:40] kazol_-> okay, cool..

[00:40] LjL: But the limit would be dynamic-every minute it gets set to a certain constant + current users [00:41] LjL: I've seen it done on some other channels. [00:41] !p2p > jacob_ [00:41] jacob_, it's a bittorrent client only as a second thought, it's mostly a plain downloader... anyway, i believe "aria2 URL" should do!

[01:48] I just installed ubuntu on an not so old machine (Athlon XP1900+) but seem to be having performance issues. For instance, viewing YouTube vids in FF eats 100% of CPU cycles. Also, playing Gnometris maxing out the CPU to the point of it greying out. Is this common? [01:48] orudie: the tool is meant to monitor bandwidth and you want it to monitor your inet bandwidth rite? [01:49] I will be back in a while. [01:49] (likely affected by roger's new rules?) [01:49] im installing hardy with the alternate disk, due to encryption setup, but i get to pick between 3 kernels, linux-generic, linux-image-generic and linux-image-2.6.24-12-generic, whats the difference? [01:49] toorima: Please join #ubuntu+1 for Hardy/8.04 support/discussion. [01:49] MeatGrinder: how much memory on the system [01:49] Pici: ok [01:49] 1 gig [01:49] reasonable [01:50] and a radeon 8500. I am running compiz with lots of effects though [01:50] still... it's weird [01:50] When I play music for a few minutes gnome-panel freezes up and I can't open up gnome-terminal. What should I do? [01:51] I am having to run in Failsafe Gnome mode. [01:51] There is a white screen it never gets past. [01:51] It won't start any other way. [01:51] Dr_willis: I tryed to copy from filemanager. but when I use shell, my directory appears in red [01:51] (ok sorry) [01:51] Nith: correct [01:51] none as an idea ? [01:51] Any suggestions? [01:52] anyone know a good 'easy' command line tutorial [01:52] man [01:53] that's not easy. that requires previous knowledge [01:53] !cli | xenoterracid1 perhaps [01:53] xenoterracid1 perhaps: 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 [01:54] orudie: then yes, replace the ip with yours and the submet with yours [01:54] orudie: and if your doing this because of roger's new bandwidth rules, then note their website has a bandwidth monitor [01:55] Hello all [01:55] Nith: replace the ip and subnet with mine? its only asking to put in the subnet ip [01:55] How do you reinstall a package with apt-get? [01:55] Nith: and i dont know what it is [01:55] Cpudan80: apt-get install --reinstall packagename [01:55] hello all. is there someone that could help me ... I cut / paste a directory from my Destop to another place. paste didn't work and it seems my data are lost. How may I recover them ? thanks ! [01:55] hola [01:56] Has anyone noticed a problem with mozilla-mplayer ? [01:56] the plugin? [01:56] anyone know of a good dvd burning app other than k3b .. [01:56] It seems to have stopped working after the latest ffox update [01:56] Cpudan80: send me a link to what you're watching, it seems to be working for me [01:56] hola alguien de argentina [01:56] LjL dude i wrote in the command u gave me in the terminal [01:56] someone say my nick [01:57] IndyGunFreak: Well it's an XMRadio stream [01:57] bruenig: say my nick [01:57] i got the following error message "permission denied" [01:57] Cpudan80: oh ok [01:57] UnSuNgLoSeR: which command was that again? [01:57] brueni_: nevar! [01:57] IndyGunFreak: But like the commercials on apple.com dont work right [01:57] the sound goes all haywire [01:57] When I play music for a few minutes gnome-panel freezes up and I can't open up gnome-terminal. What should I do? [01:57] IndyGunFreak: thank you [01:57] bruenig: no prob [01:57] ,/etc/apt/sources.list [01:57] orudie: the pastbin link you sent mensioned the subnet mask (netmask in ifconfig) [01:58] UnSuNgLoSeR: that's not a command. [01:58] widout the comma [01:58] UnSuNgLoSeR: type « gedit /etc/apt/sources.list », instead, and pastebin the output. [01:58] Weird [01:58] UnSuNgLoSeR: still not a command [01:58] UnSuNgLoSeR: still not a command. [01:58] The reinstall fixed it I think [01:58] LjL: lol. [01:58] Dr_willis: back ? [01:58] where do i put drivers that i compiled? [01:59] LjL why does it say "permission not granted"? [01:59] Hai guys [01:59] UnSuNgLoSeR: because it's not a command. [01:59] so how do i write it? [01:59] the thing that u just wrote? [01:59] UnSuNgLoSeR: sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list [02:00] UnSuNgLoSeR: gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [02:00] it won't give you any permission errors. [02:00] or that'd work. [02:00] LjL i should use the terminal for it? [02:00] Is there someone that could help me ... I cut / paste a directory from my Destop to another place. paste didn't work and it seems my data are lost. How may I recover them ? thanks ! [02:01] Nith: dont really see anything prompting about ifconfig, but here is the output of ifconfig http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61878/ [02:01] UnSuNgLoSeR: what else? [02:01] yeah sorry am a newbie:) [02:01] brb [02:02] LjL, whats with pastebin and rot13 ? [02:02] orudie: your mask is 255.255.252.0 [02:02] Nith: so the subnet is what? Mask:255.255.252.0 [02:02] unop_: someone still thinks it's april 1 [02:02] Nith: so in that installation question i would put this ? Mask:255.255.252.0 [02:02] frederic: why did paste not work? [02:02] LjL, ahh right :) [02:02] unop_: look at the plain text version or at the edit box [02:03] n-lane: seems not. but the directory is not aviable anywhere (oldpath, newpath) ... [02:03] n-lane: any idea is welcome ... [02:03] I'm having a problem with gdm [02:03] LjL, yea, i was just wondering what it was all about, thats all :) [02:03] it seems to hang when starting up [02:03] frederic: in Trash? [02:03] n-lane: nothing [02:04] how do i view files on my windows comp from my ubuntu comp when they're both connected to the same wireless network? [02:04] hi, i just wanted to create a launcher that opens a terminal in sudo mode, howere it isn't working: sudo gnome-terminal [02:04] frederic: is Show Hidden Files enabled? [02:04] anyone? [02:05] billy: in gnome it should be in Places > Network [02:05] nothings showing up [02:05] then you can find you windows local network [02:05] n-lane: I am actually using a shell (ls -a) . may I try nautilus with show hidden files ? [02:05] orudie: can you please relink the question the install asks [02:05] oh nvm its workin now [02:05] anyone know what the problem could be? [02:05] I have a little question: [02:05] I am trying to link my windows and ubuntu box with a crossover cable. I manually set up 2 different ip addresses, and give each computer the address of the other as gateway. [02:05] Do I do the right thing? [02:06] marksys: [02:06] ZiggyFish_laptop: try killing compiz [02:06] I've been googling for a little while and I still can't find a fix to the error (EE) fglrx(0): [pcie] Failed to gather memory of size 262144Kb for PCIe. Error (-1007) [02:06] marksys: you need to get samba before itll work right [02:06] markys, the gateway isnt necessary here -- but thats fine yea [02:06] ZiggyFish_laptop: while its hanging, hit CTRL+ALT+F1 then log in and "sudo killall compiz.real" [02:06] billy: yes, probably [02:06] marksys: do you have samba? [02:07] ZiggyFish_laptop: then hit CTRL+ALT+F7 and see if it's unhung, if so you need to disable compiz, if not, then compiz is not the problem [02:07] billy: well, samba is only for file transfers [02:07] my windows comp shows up in the network but i can't access any files.. [02:07] marksys: what are you trying to do? [02:07] compiz isn't running [02:07] billy: I am trying to plug my 2 computers with a crossover cable [02:07] n-lane: no other idea ? [02:07] ZiggyFish_laptop: are you sure? [02:07] frederic: shell is fine. I have no idea what happened [02:07] hi to all i am nre to linux i just downloaded ubntu 7.10 server amd 64x, i burn the iso on to a cd, but the only file taht i see is a html file and the cd read 500+ megs i even try to boot start with that cd but nothing happens [02:08] marksys: why do you want to do that? [02:08] n-lane: thanks anyway [02:08] top shows that gdmgreeter is taking 100% cpu [02:08] frederic: How did you cut and paste? And what went wrong? [02:08] marksys: i did it a while back and it worked for file transfers, but wut are u trying to do? [02:08] LaptopFam: how did you burn it [02:08] billy: because I need to :P [02:08] Pici: with traditionnal (and stupid) method : right-click, cut, paste :( [02:09] Nith: i did a ps -aux | grep compiz [02:09] frederic: And it errored out? [02:09] marksys: games? wut? [02:09] billy: I am on wireless on windows, and would like e able to access internet with my linux box [02:09] LaptopFam: did you just burn a data cd, or as image === genii_ is now known as genii [02:09] surabaya [02:09] Pici: dunno. when I paste it says nothing and then my directory has become as a simlink [02:09] marksys:oh okay.. uhmm ya i dunno how [02:10] how can i completely remove/kill a package ? [02:10] orudie: sudo apt-get --purge remove packagename [02:10] marya [02:10] frederic: Thats very weird... [02:10] ZiggyFish_laptop: fair enough, does it freeze just after you log in? [02:10] ZiggyFish_laptop: or just before? [02:10] no before [02:10] help installing MESA [02:10] please!! [02:10] Pici: seems so ... in shell (console) the directory appears in red [02:11] plz.hlp.. b4 i go dload beta 8.04 could I update to stable later.. or would there be issues/best to wait? [02:11] helo..anybody home? [02:11] when i try to access my windows comp it says that the contents cannot be displayed.. why? [02:11] so you never see the login screen?

[02:12] orudie: lo is local loopback, thats not ur internet connection [02:12] Thanks.

[02:18] ah nevermind guys,. reinstall flash plugin seem to be working fine [02:19] brb [02:19] linuxmonger: thx, butI already have my cable, and it is not the problem :) [02:19] bts3685: I wouldn't mind switching. What do you have to do to enable shadowing on !M nx [02:19] markys: What is it you're trying to do? [02:19] markys: take cat5. switch two wires on one end. crimp jack on. done. [02:20] ader10: well, just look through the server.cfg and uncomment it. ;) [02:20] i burn ans iso cd [02:20] is there something like "undelete" ? [02:20] ader10: just remember docs, binaries, etc. install to /usr/NX/ [02:20] bts3685: Simple enough! :D Does it scale? [02:20] frederic: yes, undelete. and unrm. and the tct [02:21] I have to go to screen manager each time I restart to make my resolution the right size. [02:21] bts3685: (my home computer has a large resolution and libraries are at 1024x768) [02:21] How do I have it use this resolution by default? [02:21] bts3685: will it work for my problem (cut/paste didn't work) [02:21] linuxmonger: that is what I did: windows = 10.0.0.11 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 10.0.0.12, ubuntu = 10.0.0.12 netmask 255.255.255.0 [02:21] ader10: i can't recall, but i think only two simultaneous users. or maybe not with the linux version... i've never tried more than one at a time [02:21] and it does not work [02:21] ChaosTheory: what vidcard? [02:21] frederic: if it never pasted, then it never cut essentially.. [02:22] atlef: Nvidia something. [02:22] atlef: lspci, right? [02:22] markys: Okay, so far it's good. [02:22] can I use metacity while running compiz? [02:22] ChaosTheory: and what driver? [02:22] markys: you need crossover cable, not vanilla cat5. don't know if you have that going... [02:22] bts3685: Heh, hard helping 2 people at the same time? You misread my question but that's okay :) Instead of that one, I'd like to ask if vnc gets any performance boost over nx [02:22] atlef: How do I find out these things? [02:22] ader10: OH! NX is way faster [02:23] !nvidia | ChaosTheory: [02:23] ChaosTheory:: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [02:23] ader10: NX doesn't use the vnc protocol. :) [02:23] nx is definitely faster on slower connections than vnc [02:23] Interesting. [02:23] linuxmonger: It looks to be working that way for everyone, so I really dont know. I will try between 2 windows computers... [02:24] markys: Are you sure that Windows is sharing? Try connecting to //name/C$ [02:24] bts3685: It's able to, though. There's a "VNC" session that you can select in the client, and I heard it's accelerated vnc basically :) Sounds like you haven't used it. Thank you for your advice! [02:24] markys, you sure that was a cross over cable you used? [02:24] bts3685: begin paste and fail [02:24] markys, also make sure that both windows and ubuntu have the network interfaces brought up [02:24] bts3685: (I ain't that crazy you think loll) [02:24] Hi all, does anyone know how to uninstall a program that was installed using ./configure and make install? I deleted the source folder, so I don't know if the make uninstall command still works anywhere... [02:24] atlef: It says "NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (latest cards)" is in use. [02:24] frederic: sure you have write perms in the directorys you're cutting from AND pasting to? [02:25] atlef: i burn and iso cd [02:26] ChaosTheory: do you have nvidia-settings installed? that will most likely make your settings permanent [02:26] frederic: normally an undo move right click entry would appear on the last thing you cut if that helps.. try right clicking the desktop and seeing if its there [02:26] atlef: How do I install that? [02:26] LaptopFam: as in burn image, yes [02:26] emma: oh, another thing... You may or may not know this. When you run a command at the console, if you put a "&" at the end, it will be "forked" to the background and you can continue using the same console. Example: firefox& (It will start firefox, but instead of not giving you a command prompt until you close firefox, it will give you one right away) [02:26] frederic, if you remember a part of the filenames, have you tried using find ? find $HOME -iname "*keyword*" [02:26] frederic, or even better, find / -iname "*keyword*" [02:26] bobbo, download the source again, ./configure (and whatever else is required by README/INSTALL), make .. make uninstall [02:27] frederic: although with all your clicking around since it may have since disappeared?? [02:27] Does anyone know how to get a Dell Photo Printer 540 to work? [02:27] ChaosTheory: search synaptic package manager for it [02:27] atlef i chose the file whit my burning program and just sen it to be burn [02:27] So I'm back with my question; How do I get a text message from a root cron job to pop up on the screen regardless of who is logged in? [02:27] I was able to get my Brother , networked, printer to work fine from the linux drivers at the brother site. [02:28] LaptopFam: and your machine is set to boot from cd-rom? [02:28] frederic: any joy ? [02:28] atlef: yes [02:28] Paddy_EIRE: thanks for your try. I already tried myself and the problem is that the paste did a problem (too late to "undo"). Thanks anyway [02:29] frederic: I feel your pain.. was it important? [02:29] LaptopFam: maybe you need the alternate cd, or burn it at a lower speed [02:29] !info ati [02:29] Paddy_EIRE: familly documents ... :( [02:29] Package ati does not exist in gutsy === darklee is now known as killown [02:29] :( [02:29] atlf: if i read the cd with windowws it only appear a html file but if i ask for the size of the volume it has more tahn 500 mg [02:29] how do i register? [02:29] atlef i biurn it 2 times and same resulkts [02:30] linuxmonger: it works fine between 2 windows computers... I really don't know what is the problem. What do you think I could do to diagnostic the problem? [02:30] It's nice to be able to talk in here again :) [02:30] atlef: I installed the package, but it had to remove nvidia-new-glx or something. Is that okay? [02:30] thanks unop - next question is this: I had firefox 2 as the regular "firefox" command, and firefox 3 beta was installed in my home directory. I just upgraded the regular firefox, so my question is do I have two copies? Can I remove the one in my home directory? [02:30] frederic: I frequently use external storage on stuff like that.. gotta nice 1TB hdd for under £120... great for this kind of thing [02:30] frederic: I think you need y recovery tool if nothing else works [02:31] ChaosTheory: that does not sound right. Hmm [02:31] how do I go about installing IE 7 on Ubu? [02:31] Paddy_EIRE: my fault ... I should have done a copy elsewhere :( [02:31] markys: It's been a long time since I touched Windblows, I'm honestly not the right person to ask. [02:31] romistrub: You don't [02:31] bobbo, it depends on how the version in your /home directory was installed [02:31] n-lane: tryed gogol and nothing (or I didn't understood) [02:32] markys: can the machines ping each other? [02:32] genii: I hate it, but I need it for web development [02:32] atlef: It is nvidia-glx-new. [02:32] bobbo, if you just downloaded the tarball from mozilla.org and extracted the contents to a folder under your home dir, then you can just delete that folder [02:32] atlef: To install either, the other must be removed. [02:32] bts3685: not between linux and windows [02:32] how to hide my ISP address in irc? or proxy it? [02:32] romistrub: It won't run under linux [02:32] bobbo, maybe you should tell us how exactly you installed firefox 3? [02:32] why can't i browse the files on my windows comp from my ubuntu comp? [02:32] markys: can you ping from the linux box to the win box? [02:33] ChaosTheory: do a lspci then and see what card it is [02:33] bts3685: not in both ways [02:33] genii: new question, is there a way to get the IE rendering engine working in another browser? [02:33] markys: let me guess- from windows to linux doesn't work, but from linux to windows works? [02:33] atlef: What should I look for after doing lspci? [02:33] bts3685: It does not work in both ways... [02:33] anyone? [02:33] romistrub: ies4linux google it. not sure it works with ubuntu though.. [02:34] so, is anyone here on hardy heron? [02:34] markys: answer me yes or no, please. does it work exactly in the way i asked ^? [02:34] unop: found something ... how may I get into /home/.trash-root/ ? (it's a root directory) [02:34] no [02:34] markys: okay. so who can successfully ping who? [02:34] I heard that dell printers are really lexmarks? [02:34] I enter my ssh passphrase via ssh-add. How do I prevent the stupid window to pop up that asks me for my ssh passphrase every time something uses ~/.ssh/id_rsa ? [02:34] unop, thanks - I installed firefox 3 by downloading the tarball and extracting it, then doing ./configure and make install - it ended up in my home directory [02:35] frederic: "gksudo nautilus" <-- graphical .. [02:35] bts3685: There is no successful ping [02:35] then I did an upgrade via synaptic for firefox... so now whether I type firefox or /home/bob/firefox/firefox I get the same thing [02:35] ChaosTheory: 3d controller and vga compatible controller [02:35] anyone here having problems with compiz on hardy? [02:35] frederic, try this -- gksudo nautilus /home/.trash-root [02:35] Paddy_EIRE: thanks unop thanks [02:35] romistrub: The closest thing you're going to find to IE7 under linux is ies4linux [02:35] :) [02:36] bobbo, ok, well, make uninstall would be the best way then [02:36] nikrud, are you around ? do you know anything about bash scripts ? [02:36] genii: which, unfortunately, doesn't seem to be working at all [02:36] atlef: VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Unknown device 0531 (rev a2) [02:36] markys: AHA! okay. THAT'S what i needed to know. :) did you do /etc/init.d/networking restart on the linux box? [02:36] why is it that when i type in the IP to my windows comp he files show up, but when i click the icon for the name they dont" [02:36] atlef: I don't see a 3D controller. [02:36] Pelo a very little, only as much as I need to [02:36] * AHA hides in a corner. Too... Many... Hilights... [02:36] bobbo85: instead of doing "make install" you should propably 1st do "make" and then "sudo make install" [02:37] aha! There is one! [02:37] ChaosTheory: ok then i really do not know [02:37] nikrud, that migth be enought , can you join me in #pelo so we don'T spam this channel [02:37] AHA: oh noes!

I can just rename it inline in windows, but rename is grayed out. [02:38] Hi, how can I restore the default files for apache2? such as apache2.conf [02:38] atlef: It seems that I've been able to fix it. [02:38] atlef: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=625635 [02:38] unop: Paddy_EIRE thanks a lot guys ! seems that you get it right ! I have found my "unpasted" directory into this special root_trash ... [02:38] atlef: I followed the instructions in the second post. [02:38] ChaosTheory: good for you [02:38] romistrub: Perhaps run a virtual machine with XP in it [02:38] atlef: Thanks for your help -- it needed to install nvidia-settings for it to work. [02:38] bts3685: go ahead [02:39] Survivorman: tune2fs can rename filesystem labels IIRC, if that's what you're asking [02:39] ChaosTheory: you are welcome [02:39] * frederic do a stand up ovation for unop and Paddy_EIRE !!

Actually, I'm trying to get into the habit of doing 'make' then 'checkinstall' [02:40] atlef: Oh, I have a problem with a CD, do you have time? [02:40] wuts a good program similar to itunes or windows media player for ubuntu? [02:40] n-lane: you helped a lot too. thanks !

[02:41] ChaosTheory: ask and ye shall be answered, if i know the answer that is [02:41] does anyone here know a good AIM/Jabber client that doesn't use gstreamer?

[02:42] Paddy_Eire: at least looks like it, the way the library is set up and stuff, or like itunes [02:42] How can I fix/detect my sound card? I did an update today and now I get this error: No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found. [02:42] romistrub: google for the windows ext3 driver, it exists and I'm fairly sure you can map them to drives. [02:42] which one is it easiest to organize ur files and stuff, but still have the ability to do all kinds of advanced stuff? [02:42] romistrub, there are some drivers for it(somewhere), but the best way is probley using a from windows linux distro [02:42] atlef: It says "Cannot mount volume: Invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume 'UDF Volume'." [02:42] juannicolas, ok, just tun this command then. sudo apt-get install --reinstall apache2 [02:42] billy all media players have a similar uniform layout so I would not worry.. you will only know by trying :) [02:42] romistrub, i understand that can work [02:42] Paddy_EIRE: thanks [02:43] bobbo85: usually it does that... it all comes down to that configure script you run first [02:43] unop i did that [02:43] Hi everyone [02:43] How do I get more advanced power management options? I tried looking in "Configuration Editor" but I still couldn't find other options (for example, I want to specify the time before the system hibernates, rather than going to sleep/standby). [02:43] thanks nikrud see you later [02:43] Paddy_EIRE: which one do i dl? [02:43] Pelo likewise [02:43] ampex, it pulls gstreamer as a depend - i'm trying to find something that doesn't, largely because i just don't want gstreamer(it's caused problems for me in the past) [02:43] or how do i compile it?

[02:45] does anything like windows remote desktop exist for linux? i mean, isn't the desktop environment basically something that runs _on_ the base linux system... and, shouldn't it technically be able to be run remotely?

Can anyone help? [02:48] yeah, but, wouldn't it be more native, or whatever, if you could run the desktop environment over a network? [02:49] or, maybe not more native... but more badass :P [02:49] Paddy_EIRE: s/linux/ubuntu/ [02:49] rycole: that would be awfully slow and inefficient [02:49] Paddy_EIRE: not all linux distributions even have package management [02:49] ampex2 err yes [02:49] ampex most do 1 or 2 dont :) [02:49] can anyone help me with virtual box or vmware server so that they can reconize usb?

[02:51] hmm [02:51] this should probably be in #ubuntu+1 [02:51] Ashex, depends on the video card in the laptop - to a large degree. [02:51] atlef: I haven't tried any others. [02:51] eh im too lazy to look in ubuntu web page so when is the new ubuntu release?

[02:52] atlef: I put in another CD with books in it and it gives me the same problem. [02:53] ok... just reproduced it with 7.10 [02:53] lol [02:53] so I guess either or, eh? [02:53] why do ppl use older versionS? [02:53] stbain: what about a strictly livecd? like knoppix or something? i wonder if it's hardware [02:54] obiwannekody: I use Gajim (Jabber) [02:54] could be... I was able to boot a rescue CD based off of sysresccd.org, but had to choose the altker32 option (doesn't use the libata support and sticks with old school /dev/hda style devices) [02:54] thanks, MattJ [02:55] I'm having problems with capturing sound from my mic input with my onboard sound card, yet I still get sound from the speakers.

Thanks. What'd you type in google btw? [03:56] MeatGrinder: Let me look for you. [03:56] hello! Is there a way to list the installed packages with their sizes? I want to remove big packages that I don't need to cut down the size of my virtual machine...

[03:57] no cable [03:58] can u get the upload reading in speedtest.net? [03:58] kelvin911: no i mean are you running the speed test from dslreports.com [03:58] coldboot: ati [03:58] hey i answered you [03:58] kelvin911: let me try both [03:58] rbil: ok [03:58] i guess you couldnt read my pm [03:58] kelvin911: you on dial up? maybe it's so low that it can't rea dit lol [03:58] where can I find the runlevels or startup order for networking?

[03:59] coldboot, haven't tried any 3d stuff other than google earth and that seems to be lagging to with all kinds of flickering prob due to compiz effects [03:59] MeatGrinder: That's probably just flash.

First, I noticed that both my speakers and my headphone were playing at the same time. I was able to fix that (after *a lot* of Googling). About 10 minutes later, I lost all sound. A few hours later, I was able to fix that, too. I restarted the computer and I had sound back, except I now had sound in my headphones and speakers. I fixed that, using the same method as I did before. Some t [04:03] ime later, I lost all sound (this is my current state). =( [04:03] StevenX: install perl?

I want some pizza too. [04:06] xb3rt: probably some sort of system beep, mine does it too. You can mute it [04:06] kindofabuzz: sounds that way, [04:06] Lunks isn't there a kde text editor called kedit? [04:06] Starnestommy, that fixed it. thank you.

[04:10] nikrud so that just means it doesn't work with this graphic card [04:10] MeatGrndr: I'd remove flash and reinstall the way I'd suggested [04:10] MeatGrinder: Type glxgears from a console, it spits out to console. [04:10] style23 I've never had an intel chip in one of my machines, I'm not sure what your problem is. But, you should try LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxinfo > ~/Desktop/glxinfo.txt , and copying the contents of glxinfo.txt to http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to show around [04:11] coldboot, dont see fps on gears [04:11] My computer is running slowly and I was wondering how to increase swap and if that would help at all.

[04:12] kindofabuzz: Isn't swap just like Windows virtual memory? [04:12] g2g - bye all! [04:12] MeatGrinder: I guess that's pretty good. [04:12] kindofabuzz: is there a way to force the game terminate?? without hard reboot? [04:12] Steven1 yes [04:12] it wont let me register [04:12] im using the right command [04:12] MeatGrinder: For a crappy old card. I would guess it's got something to do with flash. [04:12] :) [04:12] coldboot, yeah i think 3d is ok, maybe it is my machine but youtube runs fine in windoze [04:12] kelvin911: did you try crtl alt backspace? [04:12] MeatGrinder: You could try downloading Opera and see if flash still goes slow, then you can rule out firefox. [04:13] just resets your gdm [04:13] MeatGrinder: No, it's probably flash. [04:13] coldboot, good idea ill try it now === ts-arm is now known as ApOgEE- [04:13] i havent encounter that error so next time i will try [04:13] MeatGrinder: If 3D is good performance, there will be nothing wrong with 2d.

[04:15] coldboot, installed opera flash doesnt play, says to click to activate but I do and nothing [04:15] icesword ah, that explains it. [04:15] Steven1: well that's where your vid card comes in play too [04:15] MeatGrinder: At this point I don't know any more than you do about what to fix. I would just search for "flash 100% cpu linux OR ubuntu" in google without the quotes and keep going through the shit. [04:15] is 2nd life half life? [04:15] and the *awesome* linux drivers no doubt available for it [04:15] coldboot, affirmative [04:15] kelvin911: no [04:15] MeatGrinder: That doesn't mean anything, it usually never works in Opera to start. [04:15] kindofabuzz: Well my vid card is pretty good. Maybe the drivers just suck. [04:16] coldboot, yeah opera's not offering any info [04:16] MeatGrinder: Don't stay up all night, this is going to be very boring and unrewarding. [04:16] Steven1 do you at least have restricted drives on? [04:16] LOL [04:16] kelvin911: No. 2nd Life is kind of like a social networking version of Gmod for Half-life 2. [04:16] how can I find out what version of a package I have installed? [04:16] drivers* [04:16] coldboot, I know, I should be working important stuff like getting my CAC card working [04:17] kindofabuzz: Is there a repo to enable for that? Because I enabled the restricted driver when I installed Ubuntu. But haven't gotten any updates since then. [04:17] hobbzilla: apt-cache versin , i think [04:17] version* [04:18] Steven just go to admin > restricted drivers manager and make sure it's on [04:18] style23 dpkg -l | grep libgl1-mesa-dri , does it have ii in the first two columns of the return? [04:18] I do not know if there is an answer to this question, but is there an IRC client that is favored amongst power users in the ubuntu/linux community? I am currently using bitchX and I do not want to get comfortable with its nuances if there is a superior client out there that I will eventually gravitate toward.

Yes, ntfs-3g is installed, as well as ntfs-config [04:19] Steven1: i would try the 2nd life irc or boards, probably just the game itself, you don't need more swap [04:19] What am I missing? [04:19] having used both bitchx and irssi i definitely prefer irssi [04:20] kindofabuzz: Alright will do. Thanks [04:20] Steven1: I was unaware that pidgin covered IRC as well. [04:20] *different partition type [04:20] Does irssi have colour? [04:20] lindzeyn: yup. so does kopete [04:20] it can [04:20] lindzeyn: Yep. I'm using it now [04:20] Steven1 are you trying to run 2nd life and compiz at the same time? [04:20] by default not so much, but there are all sorts of perl modules you can install to do all sorts of neat things [04:20] lindzeyn: The default is this channel.

[04:22] or is it GUI only? [04:22] howdy [04:22] * pat5star smells a vi vs emacs type war starting :P [04:22] as in finch? [04:22] lindzeyn: Nope just in Linux [04:22] heheh [04:22] i am looking for someone to walk me through the process of reconfiguring my mountpoints and stuff [04:22] pat5star: Since I'm mostly in kde it's convenient :) [04:22] lindzeyn: You run the IRC thing by adding an IRC account. Really easy. [04:22] finch + screen don't get along well in putty, so i tend not to use it.. === Ghoster is now known as xoRock [04:22] since apparently i have sincerely fucked them up and can now no longer successfully mount my ipod [04:23] still nu luck [04:23] wittyphotons: have you checked your fstab? [04:23] i was using centerIM.. is there a better console IM client? === jpastore_ is now known as jpastore [04:23] Steven1: Thanks again. [04:23] Ok im registered [04:23] style23 then there's some kind of mismatch that I don't understand. Ask something like, I'm running the intel driver on my Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 03) , but glxinfo returns the following error: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61886/plain/ [04:23] Thanks nikrud and kindofabuzz. I'll try that. [04:23] i was using the wrong command for this server [04:23] I have a Laptop which dual boots Ubuntu and XP. How can I create a restore DVD to install both in one go? Like the restore DVD comes with Laptop [04:23] and i don't get it my computer likes the gnome desktop but not a gnome login [04:23] where can I download individual packages? I want to get syslinux.deb and mtools.deb [04:23] i have my own iptables rules from iptables-save. what is the "correct" way to have ubuntu load them for me on startup? [04:23] does this channel have a java applet interface? [04:23] i have my own iptables rules from iptables-save. what is the "correct" way to have ubuntu load them for me on startup? (i.e. something with an /etc/rc2.d/blah) [04:24] something that can be access via a web browser? [04:24] c-ron: http://java.freenode.net/ [04:24] TheOneAndOnly: i know its something to do with my fstab, but i've tried it before and have had no success. i assume it is just that i am not knowledgeable enough. [04:24] My /etc/apt/sources.list is very sparse (a minimal server installation): http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61888/ What should I add? Thanks. [04:24] On an unrelated note, Has anyone been able to get those closed-source Creative X-Fi x64 beta drivers to work with Ubuntu? I am pulling my hair out over here! [04:24] c-ron: for easy and lazy user, i will say opera can handle irc channel nicely [04:25] TheOneAndOnly: want me to paste my current fstab contents here so you can see? [04:25] pkundu: try "ghost for linux" [04:25] c-ron: point and click now need to type command [04:25] MoTec, thanks [04:25] pkundu: http://sourceforge.net/projects/g4l [04:25] c-ron: now -> "no" [04:25] wittyphotons: if you can, send it to me in a private message, also see if this ubuntuforums link is of any help http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=451132 [04:25] okay [04:26] c-ron: opera can read http, ftp, email, irc, and even download torrent although i dont use the torrent in opera [04:26] can anyone please help me to add templates into my create document context menu? [04:27] nikrud thanks for all the help... how long you've been using linux [04:27] I'm running the intel driver on my intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 03), but glxinfo returns the following error: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61886/plain/ [04:27] kelvin911: I don't care about opera. I'm trying to guide a user in from the forums who just nuked his partition table with dd_rescue [04:28] Hi again folks, is there any way to find out when the commands as listed in .bash_history were executed ? I mean the EXACT time [04:28] style23 just over 8 years [04:28] Plourd? [04:28] If I can't get internet on a laptop I"m booting from the live cd on...how can I enable the restricted driver to mount an ntfs volume? [04:28] c-ron: dd_rescue can read the partition that is destroyed? [04:29] nikrud this is my 2nd day... so when you goto work and lets say you right a word document on your laptop and send it to one of your co-workers... do you type the doc in linux or win [04:29] style23 I write it in openoffice, and send it as a doc file [04:29] nikrud write* [04:29] eww [04:29] nikrud before open office what where you able to use [04:29] jpastore: if i'm correct, i don't believe the livecd has the restricted repositories, but should contain the ntfs-3g driver allowing you access to the ntfs volume [04:29] style23 staroffice [04:29] that smile yellow face for xchat doesn't work for me,i ve already copy it to home dir [04:30] kelvin911: i don't think so... but it can certainly trash a harddrive with a good typo. [04:30] nikrud linux is truly cool [04:30] style23, well put [04:30] TheOneAndOnly, just search synaptic? [04:30] hi elexhobby [04:30] c-ron: dd_rescue can, i believe assist in "ripping" the data from a lost partition [04:30] nikrud so a good starting point is linuxcommands.org [04:30] jpastore: you are correct :) [04:30] style23 yup. I do like the control it offers me over what the machine is doing, as much or as little as I chose to use. And yes, as well as: [04:31] !training | style23 [04:31] style23: A desktop course manual for Ubuntu 7.10 can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Training [04:31] hi c-ron.. tks so much for offering to help! [04:31] elexhobby has this post on the forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4634118#post4634118 [04:31] TheOneAndOnly: hey did my pm get through to you; i'm not sure if i did that right [04:31] Why when i right click does it say 'Open with "Wine windows emulator"' ? I thought WINE wasn't an emulator :) [04:31] nikrud thanx [04:31] wittyphotons: no, if you're not registered, it won't. you can just use the ubuntu pastebin :) [04:32] style23 welcome to the Free world :) [04:32] nikrud now I need to sell my xbox and get a ps3 [04:32] uhhh the what [04:32] wittyphotons: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ [04:33] What is medibuntu? [04:33] ubuntu for docs? [04:33] I don't think so [04:33] ugh!! I can't wait 23 days.... please release... but eh, I guess I shouldn't push the no-bug issues... release-with-care please :) [04:33] dang neat [04:33] TheOneAndOnly: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61889/plain/ [04:34] Can anyone can assist elexhobby on recovering data? [04:34] !medibuntu [04:34] medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [04:34] there ya go LainIwakura [04:34] elexhobby: what sort of data? [04:34] elexhobby, what is up [04:34] wittyphotons: can you verify the mount point /media/iPod exists? [04:34] nomasteryoda: Thanks [04:35] np [04:35] icesword and stbain, see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4634118 [04:35] nikrud can this mismatch be the reason why I try to watch a youtube video the whole system crashes [04:35] elexhobby: have you read the link http://www.linux.com/articles/56588 [04:35] why can i only login as root into my desktop? [04:36] nikrud when I try to watch a youtube video* sorry for the grammer [04:36] TheOneAndOnly: uh. how would i check? there's a folder there that exists, if that's what you mean. [04:36] Hi all.. I've posted my problem on ubuntuforums http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=742660 please go thru it [04:36] wittyphotons: that's exactly what i mean :) now, when you say it is not mounting, do you mean when you plug in your ipod it does not automatically mount? [04:36] style23 could be. You definitely have some issue in your install that I don't understand [04:37] I'm having some problems with sound. [04:37] It has been going on and off cyclically. [04:37] nikrud I don't want to reinstall because it took me the longest to get the wireless card working [04:37] ChaosTheory: what version of ubuntu? [04:37] Gutsy. [04:37] TheOneAndOnly: I shall go thru it [04:38] elexhobby: ty, that should be of some assistance :) [04:38] style23 that's why I helped you craft a good question, hopefully (since you'll be asking it regularly, every 15 min or so) someone will recognize the problem [04:38] ChaosTheory: do you know what hardware your soundcard is? [04:38] elexhobby: what exactly is (or was) stored on /dev/hdb3? [04:38] TheOneAndOnly: Nvidia, I believe. How do I check, again? [04:38] never heard dd_rescue [04:38] nikrud thank you again. [04:39] How can I check if my CPU supports reporting its temparature? [04:39] stbain: some videos/audios and documents.. [04:39] When I launch Gnome Terminal, I get "There was an error creating the child process for this terminal" Googling reveals a potential fstab and udev issue, but no fix is mentione. This is my fstab http://www.paste2.org/p/18463 [04:39] ChaosTheory: in terminal try lspci -v [04:39] how big is the hdb3 partition? [04:40] askand, want to know tem when os is running?or you can boot into bios to check [04:40] TheOneAndOnly: it does not mount automatically and i am not able to mount it manually from the gui [04:40] stbain: 105GB around [04:40] elexhobby: isn't it hdb1 that is showing bad info? [04:40] ok, and the DVD you were trying to back up? [04:40] TheOneAndOnly: Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP67 High Definition Audio (rev a1) [04:40] icesword: yes when the OS is running..I installed a lot of cputempmonitors but it doesnt seem to work [04:40] wittyphotons: try sudo mount /dev/sdc2 /media/iPod [04:40] TheOneAndOnly: the msg returned in the error is 'mount: special device /dev/sdc2 does not exist' [04:41] Is there any change of xmonad 0.7 getting into Hardy (since it's already in Debian), or is it already pretty frozen? [04:41] askand, you cpu model is supported by that app [04:41] c-ron: yes in /media it is named as hdb1 but for dd_rescue i'd typed hdb3 [04:41] elexhobby: i see [04:41] stbain: that was full of mp3 audio files [04:41] TheOneAndOnly, thanks that seemed to have worked it out...is there a graphical file browser with search like windows? or am I stuck with the find command? [04:41] wittyphotons: this may seem like a rather obvious question, but the ipod is connected and turned on, correct? [04:41] 0.7 isn't such a big change, but the better GNOME support would make switching to it easier. :-) [04:42] hrmm... very odd [04:42] TheOneAndOnly: yeah, and it's got the 'do not disconnect' flashing shenanigan going on too [04:42] jpastore: i like nautilus in Hardy, it has that feature, catfish is a great all around search program though :) [04:42] elexhobby: the partition and the partition table may be corrupt [04:42] TheOneAndOnly: the weird thing is, sometimes it'll automount on the first connection of the boot but then never again [04:43] ok, so the cable between bridge pc and hub/router, should be crossover or normal ethernet cable? [04:43] TheOneAndOnly, kewl...I'll see if it's on the xubuntu live cd [04:43] TheOneAndOnly: but it doesn't happen often enough for me to think it's a hint towards the real issue [04:43] stbain: what do i do now? can i recover the old files? [04:43] wittyphotons: can you do me a favor, against the recommendation of the screen, disconnect the ipod, and then reset it. after the reset, plug the ipod back in, see if it will auto mount, if it does not, try the mount command again :) [04:43] elexhobby: I imagine you'll have some data loss for the sectors that were overwritten [04:43] TheOneAndOnly: yeah, alright [04:43] I'm running the intel driver on my intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 03), but glxinfo returns the following error: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61886/plain/ [04:43] jpastore: catfish i don't believe is included in the livecd =/ [04:43] elexhobby: and there's a chance you may have overwritten the filesystem table [04:43] stbain: no problem.. i'd aborted the dd_rescue in almost 10 secs, so not much data would be lost [04:44] TheOneAndOnly, I can download the package onto a thumb drive and bring it over...where I can get the package from? [04:44] elexhobby: you may want to boot off of a live cd and try to mount or fsck the partitions to see what can be salvaged [04:44] jpastore: what version of ubuntu livecd are you using? [04:44] TheOneAndOnly, 7.10 xubuntu i386 [04:44] Hello, can someone tell me what the difference is between the 'deb' and deb'-src' prefixes in my repository source list? [04:45] elexhobby: I literally am in my datacenter (albeit at 11:45PM) doing much of the same thing you just did... using dd_rescue to transfer a disk elsewhere [04:45] If I have a source URL with the 'deb' prefix, do I still need the same URL with the 'deb-src' prefix? Thanks. [04:45] when i select a cursor and logout/login it looks like the cursor i selected is there for a second but it always gets changed back to some black one with a watch for the 'busy' cursor, anone know what might be going on here? [04:45] hold on upgrading firmware on my router to see if it'll talk to my laptop [04:45] Can I set the language for a single app? I want to start a GNOME program in english to file a consistent bug report. [04:45] LainIwakura: deb is the binary, prebuilt packages, the deb-src is the source files so you can compile them yourself [04:45] LainIwakura: the deb lines are for regular packages, while deb-src are for source code packages [04:45] LainIwakura: deb-src is to download sources using "apt-get source x" [04:45] stbain: i'm a newbie to ubuntu.. do u mean i shud reboot and insert live cd.. what i do then? [04:45] hi, how do I type accented characters in Ubuntu? [04:45] LainIwakura: it is a good idea to keep the source repos, but not everyone does [04:45] TheOneAndOnly, Starnestommy, Kl4m: Okay, thanks for the help. [04:46] elexhobby: are you a newbie to all flavors of Linux or just new to Ubuntu? [04:46] jpastore: i'm looking for the package now, just one moment :) [04:46] stbain: to all flavors.. infact ubuntu is the first linux i've tried out [04:46] TheOneAndOnly: well...something happened. i still can't mount the ipod to access its harddrive's filesystem, but some programs popped up and noticed the ipod. specifically, music player and gtkpod. gtkpod had this nice little message which i'll pastebin in a sec for you. [04:46] TheOneAndOnly, awesome thanks! [04:47] elexhobby, plz be more specific?give more details [04:47] TheOneAndOnly: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61891/ [04:47] icesword: what kind of details wud u like? [04:47] does anyone here have experience with bandwidthd ? [04:47] ok... someone else will probably need to back me up on this, but basically what you'll do is shut down the computer, insert the ubuntu cd you used to install, and let it boot to the desktop. Once it's there, you should be able to open up a terminal shell and try to mount the partitions to see what's left on them. [04:47] wittyphotons: if a program is popping up and recognizing it, that is a great sign, it means your ipod is most likely mounted, but probably in a diff location than that listed in fstab, one moment... [04:47] orudie: be more specific [04:48] jpastore: np :) [04:48] tritium: I installed bandwidthd, need help editing bandwidthd.conf [04:48] stbain: shud i do that immediately.. c-ron had asked me not to reboot at all [04:48] elexhobby, in that post,you dd_rescue /dev/hdd ?what is hdd?you said you want to copy from dvd? [04:49] stbain: AKAIK, the partition table on that drive is toast.. so trying to remount it will produce the same results as he's seeing now.. 105 gig showing as 1.5 gig [04:49] does anybody know how to install gutsy in dualboot without havint to install feisty first ? .... Gutsy keeps on telling me 'impossible' to handle ntfs stuff [04:49] TheOneAndOnly: Do you still remember my question? =P [04:49] mouse settings in system>preferences are set fast as they go. How do I get the pointer to move faster yet? [04:49] Hi [04:49] c-ron: think a fsck could fix it? [04:50] icesword: i'd read hdd stands for ur dvd drive.. also in my /etc/fstab it shows hdd for dvd-drive.. hence hdd for the dvd drive [04:50] ChaosTheory: i'm sorry, it slipped my mind =/ === icesword is now known as youmean [04:50] I want to create a floppy disk image file ... how can I do that? === bluefox|gaming is now known as bluefoxx [04:50] stbain: fsck only fixes filesystems, not partion tables.. i could be wrong [04:50] TheOneAndOnly, sorry I had to reboot my router... [04:50] TheOneAndOnly: I've been struggling with sound. Originally I had sound in both the speakers and the headphones -- I fixed that. [04:50] TheOneAndOnly, if you sent the link could you please retransmit? [04:50] TheOneAndOnly: About 10 minutes later I lost all sound altogether. It took me a few hours to fix that. [04:50] what I need is to creat an empty vfat into a .img file to be mounted with VirtualBox [04:51] jpastore: i found the link, i didn't send it cuz i saw you were kicked :p here it is http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/catfish [04:51] TheOneAndOnly: Then, I lost sound *again.* [04:51] elexhobby: what version of ubuntu are you running? [04:51] TheOneAndOnly: oh, it seems to be mounting at /media/DAVEPOD__ [04:51] TheOneAndOnly, thanks... [04:51] ChaosTheory: i did a search for your hardware on google, i can't seem to find anything... i'm sorry =/ [04:51] TheOneAndOnly: Then I fixed the sound, and now I've lost it altogether again. =| [04:51] TheOneAndOnly: Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP67 High Definition Audio (rev a1) [04:51] TheOneAndOnly: Okay, thanks. [04:51] Hello, can someone explain to me why this error occurred: W: Duplicate sources.list entry http://archive.ubuntu.com gutsy/universe Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_gutsy_universe_binary-i386_Packages) I fixed with apt-get update, but I'd like to know why the error occurred. I had no duplicate entries in /etc/apt/sources.list. What is this /var/lib/... list and how does it relate to my repository source list in /etc/a [04:51] wittyphotons: i would recommend to update the fstab with that mount point :) [04:52] Dex-Freudii: you can build your floppy then copy it to some file with dd [04:52] ChaosTheory: it's not working at all? [04:52] c-ron, so your point is his hdb 's partition table is damaged?or the problem is? [04:52] Kl4m: how do I build my floppy?? [04:52] LainIwakura: check out /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ [04:52] elexhobby: nevermind, I see it on your forum post (7.10) [04:52] Kl4m: I don't have floppy drive in my computer [04:52] so...i dled the installer...and when I run it my screen goes blank...it sounds like something is running though...any thoughts? [04:52] c-ron: if he can boot into the 7.10 livecd, he'll be able to fire up GPartEd to assess the damage [04:53] Flannel: It's an empty directory at the moment. [04:53] TheOneAndOnly: Nope. [04:53] LainIwakura: So, you 'fixed' it by not changing anything? [04:53] stbain, what about testdisk or parted? [04:53] Flannel: I did apt-get update, which fixed the error. [04:54] Flannel: But do you know why the error may have occurred in the first place? [04:54] ChaosTheory: can you run alsamixer in a terminal? [04:54] LainIwakura: That shouldn't have fixed anything. The error would've occured during that same operation. [04:54] youmean: gparted is just a GUI over top of parted (if memory serves me correctly) [04:54] TheOneAndOnly: I just ran it. What now? [04:54] jpastore: any time :) [04:54] Dex-Freudii: ok, find out how many bytes a typical floppy uses, then dd if=/dev/zero of=myfile.img bs=howmanybytes count=1 [04:54] I've got a question (might be somewhat irrelevant). [04:55] check to make sure the volume on all the channels are up. if they aren't, use the up arrow to move them up, the left and right arrows to move between them. [04:55] Kl4m: bs=1440 (pretty sure on that one) [04:55] On Xfce4.4, why in the hell is there a tiny Gnome foot on the top-right corner of Thunar windows? [04:55] TheOneAndOnly: They are all up. [04:55] stbain, tha is not important,seems you and c-ron ;s point is he has to rebuild partition table [04:55] Kl4m: but how do I create the filesystem then? [04:55] any of you have verizon fios and have successfully set up a server? (httpd, ftpd, etc.) [04:55] youmean: possibly, but I think just getting in and seeing what's left will help clarify the next step [04:55] ChaosTheory: can you also hit the tab key and make sure they are all up on other screens, and there are none w. no m's next to them? [04:55] Dex-Freudii: mkfs.vfat myfile.img [04:56] looks like it's possible to rebuild with gpart and fdisk [04:56] Flannel: Yeah, that is odd.. but I did run apt-get update, get the error (which also told me to 'run apt-get update to correct these problems), which I did and which fixed the problem... Any ideas? [04:56] not gparted - gpart .. in case anyone's wondering [04:56] is there a way to have multi_key mapped to the windows key? [04:56] Dex-Freudii: then you mount it with mount, but I don't know the options or if you need to be a superuser [04:57] LainIwakura: that will occur sometimes if the repos are cached on the system, running the update again usually corrects the problem [04:57] TheOneAndOnly: All of them, even after tabbing, are up. [04:57] LainIwakura: assuming you do not actually have a duplicate source :p [04:57] TheOneAndOnly: Yup, double checked that. [04:57] TheOneAndOnly: Alright, thanks. [04:57] c-ron, then he can download gpart and try [04:57] LainIwakura: np :) [04:57] TheOneAndOnly: What do you mean "w. no m's?" [04:57] Kl4m: thank you man [04:57] hey, is there a prog for just editing trackers for torrent-files? [04:57] c-ron: should i run fdisk /dev/hdb3? [04:57] ALL: I installed bandwidthd, need help editing bandwidthd.conf [04:57] youmean: yes it looks like dd_rescue overwrote the partition table (and some other data in 15 seconds) from a dvd or whatever else got read of off /dev/hddd [04:57] Dex-Freudii: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=303295 this has the mount options [04:57] Flannel: Thanks. [04:57] To re-iterate: On Xfce4.4, why in the hell is there a tiny Gnome foot on the top-right corner of Thunar windows? [04:58] /dev/hdd [04:58] elexhobby no [04:58] c-ron: ok [04:58] because that's the only place the xfce guy could fit his foot? [04:58] elexhobby: not yet [04:58] TheOneAndOnly, so catfish doens't allow multiple file selects from search results so I can move files in bulk to an external drive ... /sigh [04:58] Daisuke_Ido, lol, I'd expect the little rat/mouse or whatever. === Charitwo_ is now known as Charitwo [04:59] just seems out of place [04:59] You know how when ubuntu boots up you just see a bunch of line-by-line "starting up ______"-type code? Is there anyway to see the output of a stock boot? [04:59] ChaosTheory: i'm sorry, i didn't mean "m's" are there any of the channels that have a red L on the left, and a red R on the right? [04:59] jpastore: unfortunately, no :( [04:59] i just looked, because i thought it used to be the mouse [04:59] I am brand new to this. I am running XP and want a dualboot system with ubuntu 7.10. I have a 120gb HD with about 10gb free right now. I started the install process by booting the CD and when the partition wizard ran, it scared me. It wanted to set up a 105gb partition. I really don't want to lose anything on my hard drive and I don't have the XP CDs on me, so if things go wrong, I will be really really sad. How can I set up a small part [04:59] is anyone currently using an Ubuntu LiveCD? === artenius is now known as noble- [04:59] TheOneAndOnly: Yes. [04:59] TheOneAndOnly: "LineIn" [04:59] c-ron: yes [04:59] ChaosTheory: is that the only one? [05:00] TheOneAndOnly: Yes. [05:00] c-ron: I have one up and running on a VM at the moment [05:00] TheOneAndOnly, alright thanks let me see what else I can find [05:00] actually, I just restarted it, so gimme a sec [05:00] stbain: could you try to run gpart to see if it's included on the livecd? note that that's not gparted, but gpart [05:00] ChaosTheory: that is your input, it should be fine, but press the space bar below it, ans it should remove the Red letters [05:00] Anyone have any idea why my monitor wouldn't show the installer? [05:00] k... gimme a sec [05:00] You know how when ubuntu boots up you just see a bunch of line-by-line "starting up ______"-type code? Is there anyway to see the output of a stock boot? Because for some reason this fresh install is freezing, and i need to know what the next line is that it is freezing on [05:00] <_maw> where is the kernel sources directory? [05:00] c-ron: gparted is on the live cd [05:00] jpastore: any time, sorry i couldn't find you something better =/ [05:01] TheOneAndOnly: I'm below , I pressed the space bar, and nothing happened. [05:01] jpastore: a good KDE based file manager is Dolphin, i believe it has the funtionality you seek... [05:01] sjovan: like i said, NOT gparted, but gpart [05:01] c-ron: what is gpart? [05:02] TheOneAndOnly, let me see if I can find it by searching the packages [05:02] c-ron: i don't even have that on my system... [05:02] ChaosTheory: if you look under the channels, there should be some, or one, with an MM or a 00 under it, correct? and if so, which channels? [05:02] gpart != gparted [05:02] TheOneAndOnly: IEC958 [05:02] c-ron: i like the way you stated that, haha [05:03] why is it that on this fresh install it freezes while booting up (the last text displayed is "Running Local Boot Scripts (/etc/rc.local)" [05:03] ChaosTheory: does it have MM or 00? [05:03] c-ron: nwm... i used apt-cache show gpart [05:03] TheOneAndOnly: 00 [05:03] is anyone here experienced with bandwidthd ? [05:03] ChaosTheory: hit the m key below it, see if your sound returns... that channel is currently muted ;] [05:03] c-ron: gpart is in the universe repository, so he'll have to enable universe and install it [05:04] stbain: but it's not on the livecd? [05:04] jpastore: here is the link to the Dolphin site http://enzosworld.gmxhome.de/ [05:04] TheOneAndOnly, thanks! [05:04] c-ron: nope [05:04] ok [05:04] jpastore: let me check one other thing, i think nautilus has it as well, to prevent you from having to use a KDE app, unless you're running Kubuntu? [05:04] TheOneAndOnly: IEC958 now has "MM," but I don't have my sound back. [05:04] elexhobby7, what partition is ubuntu installed to on your other pc? [05:05] anyone ? [05:05] ChaosTheory: using tab, are there any other channels with the 00? [05:05] is wubi an Ubuntu product or just thown onto the hardy cdrom? [05:05] crap, and even enabling universe won't let it install [05:05] when i select a cursor and logout/login it looks like the cursor i selected is there for a second but it always gets changed back to some black one with a watch for the 'busy' cursor, anone know what might be going on here? [05:06] TheOneAndOnly: Actually, all of the others have "00," too, but they are at 100. [05:06] TheOneAndOnly, this is an xubuntu install [05:06] I'm trying to recover some files from an old laptop [05:06] TheOneAndOnly: But now the laptop says sound is muted. [05:06] ChaosTheory: do the same thing for all channels then, hit the m key to remove the mutes :) [05:06] TheOneAndOnly: After pressing "m" on all of them, that is. [05:06] c-ron: do i check that using sudo fdisk -l? [05:06] TheOneAndOnly, I don't see where to download dolphin...cna I not run it under xubuntu? [05:06] it says Linux opposite /dev/hdb2 [05:07] elexhobby7: check with df [05:07] jpastore: i'd recommend using nautilus then, or the xfce default file manager, but i'm not sure if either have the functionality you seek. I'm checking into it :) [05:07] jpastore: that was just the information site, not a link to the download, sorry [05:07] cron: yes its /dev/hdb2 === TheAvatar is now known as DrPaulo [05:08] hey everyone :) === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [05:09] TheOneAndOnly: If all of them are on "MM," then the laptop is muted, apparently. [05:09] c-ron: yes its /dev/hdb2 [05:10] hey guys, im trying to compile the cisco vpn client and im getting /interceptor.c:794: error: invalid operands to binary - [05:10] anyone know how to mount a HD that is logged to be "in use" ? ... force mounting does'nt seem to be working... [05:10] ChaosTheory: hm... can you install the gnome alsa mixer, to provide you a gui? [05:10] any idea what im doing wrong? [05:10] TheOneAndOnly: Asla mixer? Should I install it through Synaptic? [05:11] jpastore: i think i found the functionality you look for w.out using a seperate file manager :) check out http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=214059 [05:11] ChaosTheory: there should be an alsa mixer gnome or kde package, depending on which you use [05:11] hcecking into it now [05:11] Google alters time - http://scitech.blogs.cnn.com/ [05:12] TheOneAndOnly: I see something called "asla mixer gui." [05:12] hey guys, im trying to compile the cisco vpn client and im getting interceptor.c:794: error: invalid operands to binary - [05:12] ChaosTheory: that should work :) [05:12] hi! can anyone give advice on recording music in ubuntu? [05:12] TheOneAndOnly: gnome-alsamixer [05:12] what can I use for a SCP client in linux? a GUI client, that is [05:12] ChaosTheory: that would be it :) [05:12] adam...you have fios? *green with envy* [05:13] elexhobby7 do you happen to know what filesystem is on /dev/hdb3 ? [05:13] VeN0mizer: as do i ;) [05:13] bah! [05:13] lol [05:13] while booting into a debian partition the entire filesystem changes into a read-only mode. HOw to rectify this [05:13] heh [05:13] which adam? [05:13] you :P [05:13] I do, if you're talking to me [05:13] yeah, it's pretty good [05:13] VeN0mizer: it's not al that great, esp if the lines get water in them :( [05:13] I am not able to do anything. Not able to open any applications. [05:13] how do you two like it?...is it worth all the hype? [05:13] TheOneAndOnly: Okay, I just ran it. [05:13] ahhh [05:14] I haven't had any problems with it. Had it for a year. Had sat before that, and that was terrible. [05:14] c-ron: its W95 FAT32 [05:14] hey guys, im trying to compile the cisco vpn client and im getting interceptor.c:794: error: invalid operands to binary - [05:14] 'bout the same as cable in quality, but a bit cheaper when you combine TV and internet [05:14] TheOneAndOnly: None of them are muted. [05:15] adamP_: deff, esp if you get it w. phone, the quality is great, but i've had the tech's out twice because of the water in the line [05:15] I am able to boot only after remounting the / partition [05:15] quick question guys, not sure if I'm going about asking the right way...should be easy...is it possible to upgrade from Gutsy to Hardy BETA, and then from the BETA to the FINAL when it gets released without any hitches? === Adlai_ is now known as Adlai [05:15] yeah I got vonage now and I hate it, always one way audio even when it is right behind the cable modem...bleh [05:15] ChaosTheory: i'm going to have you display all the channels, give me just a sec to install it on my end ;] [05:15] so i can assist you a little better [05:15] TheOneAndOnly: Okay, thanks. [05:15] Are there a graphic calculator for Ubuntu? [05:16] I there any way to recover the corrupted filesystem. [05:16] could someone quickly break down what the difference is between a pkg1 and pkg1-dev ? [05:16] or not so quickly :) [05:16] VeN0mizer: it should be, i upgraded from gutsy to the beta (running now) and it will automatically upgrade to the final via updates :) [05:16] Awp: could you explain more? [05:16] thanks! :) [05:16] Hey, got a question for you guys, I'm brand new to linux, running xfce now - and wondering how I can set up german fonts. I don't want to switch the keyboard to de, just add in a few letters. [05:16] I would suspect that dev means it is still in development, like a beta, but I'm not entirely sure? [05:17] diagon: pkg1 = the package in it's useable form, pkg1-dev = development headers for using pkg1 in a program [05:17] heroin overdose in st kilda [05:17] woops [05:17] ChaosTheory: if you go into edit -> sound card properties, check off all the boxes in there [05:17] wow...yeah I was way off [05:17] i need help with java on hardy 64 [05:17] TheOneAndOnly: They are all already checked off. [05:18] tonyyarusso like graphing calculator [05:18] hey all I have 2 daemons that I compiled (didn't come with an /etc/init.d/ entry)... how can I make them startup on boot like the rest of my daemons? (they need to run as root) [05:18] ChaosTheory: awesome, down at the bottom of the main window is there a checkbox for the IEC you mentioned earlier? [05:19] tonyyarusso like graphing calculator graphmonkey [05:19] midget try "crontab -e" to load a script with the command you need. [05:19] Awp: Depending on the complexity of what you need, there are many things, including octave and maxima on the more complicated end [05:19] (when root) [05:19] Awp: or, graphmonkey... [05:19] TheOneAndOnly: Yes, there is. [05:19] ChaosTheory: and is that checked as well? [05:19] TheOneAndOnly: Yes, it is. [05:19] *has learned more in the last 5 minutes of being here and listening about ubuntu, than in the past week using google* [05:19] ChaosTheory: and still no sound? [05:20] there is also a video on youtube training how to do the init.d thing (debian way...) [05:20] tonyyarusso graphmonkey [05:20] Starnestommy: so does pkg1 do a sort of configure/make style build behind the scenes, and then just remove the source, whereas the pkg1-dev would leave the headers? [05:20] TheOneAndOnly: Nope. [05:20] Awp: what about it? [05:20] VeN0mizer: good to hear, my brother in law will be sitting in w. me tomorrow evening to learn about this great distro :p [05:20] awesome :) [05:20] diagon: pkg1 is already compiled and ready to install in binary form. [05:20] ChaosTheory: unfortunately, i'm now at a loss, if you don't mind me asking again, what was your hardware type? [05:20] tonyyarusso how would i install it? [05:20] it's the only distro that's made me trash windows entirely, others came close [05:21] Awp: With Synaptic, same as anything else. [05:21] * ubuntufanboy has trashed windows 3 yrs ago. [05:21] How do you force close an application ? [05:21] the only thing I miss is fully working .NET...as I'm lazy :P [05:21] Starnestommy: oh I see, because it can be sure of the architecture of your system already, due to dependency-verification stuff [05:21] VeN0mizer: Gambas, i believe can do .Net [05:21] noobi. there is an applet that can force-kill the window you want.... [05:21] Gambas...hmm...*googles this* [05:22] TheOneAndOnly: Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP67 High Definition Audio (rev a1) [05:22] also you cando the terminal way: sudo killall nameoftheaplication [05:22] c-ron: any further instructions? what should i do next? [05:22] TheOneAndOnly: Gambas from my understanding is just Basic not .net [05:22] whats it called ? [05:22] and it's Qbasic at that I believe [05:22] killall doesn't need sudo if it's killing processes it's spawned itself [05:22] noobi: xkill [05:22] does anyone know how to mount a HD that is logged "in use" ? force mounting hasn't workedd. [05:22] kitche: i use it for .Net Dev, i could be wrong about which package i'm using though - i haven't deved in a while... [05:22] noobi -> Force Quit [05:23] VeN0mizer: check synaptic, just do a search for .Net ;] [05:23] I could be cheap and wine a copy of visual studio ;) [05:23] elexhobby7: okay write down the results for the /dev/hdb3 line when you run df [05:23] noobi, also, sudo xkill from term, or alt+f2 and typing gksu xkill will (as root) kill any open window [05:24] * ubuntufanboy needs help with java on hardy 64 [05:24] ChaosTheory: i'm checking the forums now ;] [05:24] note to self: cannot open package manager while upgrading distro version....duhhhh to self [05:24] tonyyarusso how would i install it? [05:24] tonyyarusso thanks [05:24] tonyyarusso it work [05:24] !software > Awp [05:24] TheOneAndOnly: I've posted on the forums. [05:24] VeNOmizer: been there... [05:24] TheOneAndOnly: I'm trying to install the newest driver. . . [05:24] TheOneAndOnly: But I'm getting an error. [05:25] ChaosTheory: not just the ubuntu forums :p [05:25] tonyyarusso is there any way i can make all my windows to horizontal or veritcial or cascade view === demonspork is now known as demon_spork [05:25] TheOneAndOnly: Haha, okay. [05:25] ChaosTheory: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/no-sound-with-nvidia-mcp67-hda-629627/ [05:25] hello [05:25] Awp: ask the channel [05:25] hello rshives [05:26] VeN0mizer: honestly, the only thing i miss is my Windows DDK, good bye writing windows rootkits using a windows tool :( [05:26] lol [05:26] TheOneAndOnly: Following the links. . . [05:26] I'm trying to add .cgi (perl) scripting support to Apache, however, when I view a .cgi or .pl script, it gives a "Forbidden" error. I've added http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61897/ to my /etc/apache2/apache2.conf so far. What am I doing wrong? [05:26] TheOneAndOnly: I've made nvidia the default card (no change). [05:27] Hello. using dvorak key map so slow typer for a while. [05:27] ChaosTheory: have you tried running alsaconf? [05:27] c-ron: /dev/hdb3 109959488 109424832 534656 100% /media/hdb1 [05:27] speaking of rootkits (not in that sense) that's the problem I face with linux...if I get a virus, much less a rootkit, I'm SOL in terms of knowing how to get rid of it or even knowing one exists [05:27] AlexHoover: for each .cgi or .pl script, sudo chmod +rx scriptname.cgi [05:27] rshives: no worries :) [05:27] TheOneAndOnly: How do I do that? [05:27] does anyone here use dvorak layout? [05:27] Starnestommy, I chmodded all of my cgi scripts to 777. [05:28] sn00zer I do. [05:28] VeN0mizer: actually, there are tools to check for rootkits, and removal is easy, not to mention, linux is pretty rock solid in terms of defending agains such annoyances :) [05:28] Is there any way i can make all my windows to horizontal or vertical or cascade view [05:28] hi, can anyone tell me how to type accented characters in ubuntu? Is it possible to assign my Windows key to be a Multi_key somewhere? [05:29] Awp: what window manager? [05:29] rshives, do you have problems switching back and forth with qwerty when you're away from your own boxes? [05:29] TheOneAndOnly where system ? [05:29] ChaosTheory: open the terminal, type in alsaconf [05:29] Awp: are you using kde, gnome, xfce? ie- ubuntu, kubuntu, or xubuntu, or some other window manager? [05:30] does anyone know how to mount a HD that is logged "in use" ? force mounting hasn't workedd. [05:30] TheOneAndOnly: bash: alsaconf: command not found [05:30] Awp: or do you have and are currently using compiz? [05:30] sn00zer I just started using dvorak. so Im still learning it. [05:30] * ubuntufanboy needs help with java on hardy 64 [05:30] TheOneAndOnly ya its 7.10 should have compiz already install [05:30] j3kyl1: is it mounted elsewhere? [05:31] stbain : no its just local [05:31] TheOneAndOnly it just default 7.10 updated [05:31] j3kyl1: what drive is it? [05:31] j3kyl1: /dev/??? [05:31] you mean, even with root, a rootkit has difficulty pulling off its magic? [05:31] with linux? [05:32] what is the bether and secure linux music player to streamers radios and this stuff? :x [05:32] rshives, i just set mine up tonight and started learning home row but i'm already getting confused and wondered if it wouldn't kill my qwerty skills by confusing me and then once i am better at dvorak, would i lose my speed/accuracy on qwerty since i stop using it [05:32] TheOneAndOnly what next? [05:32] ubuntufanboy: /join #ubuntu+1 for hardy help [05:32] tks stbain [05:32] Awp: if it's a default gutsy, i don't believe it will have compiz, if you can use compiz and xgl (lots of info on the net to get it running on gutsy assuming your video card is supported) there is functionality in there to have the windows tile or cascade... let me see if metacity has it as well :) [05:32] np [05:32] stbain : its /dev/sda1 [05:33] j3kyl1: and typing /mount and df -h commands don't show /dev/sda1 listed anywhere? [05:33] sn00zer according to their website. you wont. [05:33] VeN0mizer: yep, even as root. I was reading an article about one of the kernels where they had to set up a lab just to get a virus to work. ie - unless you srsly mess up you should be safe :) [05:33] what music multimedia player do you guys ussually use?! [05:33] j3kyl1: err... not /mount, just "mount" [05:33] stbain : no ... the problem i believe is that it has a "in use" log on it and won't open back up [05:34] . [05:34] j3kyl1: how about umount /dev/sda1 just for giggles? [05:34] rshives, ok, thats good to know [05:34] ChaosTheory: wanted to make sure you knew i haven't forgotten about you ;p [05:34] TheOneAndOnly: Oh good, I often find myself easily typing in the root password when installing stuff in linux, and sometimes when running programs that shouldn't require but I don't know any better to trust them anyways...tracert for example! [05:34] TheOneAndOnly: Thanks. =] [05:35] elexhobby7: are you able to see the contents of your home dir with ls ~/ [05:35] TheOneAndOnly [05:35] stbain :/dev/sda1 is not mounted (according to mtab) [05:35] Thank you [05:35] gksu xkill worked [05:35] ChaosTheory: np, i know how frustrating it can get waiting for an answer, esp if the person helping you is talking to like 4 other ppl :p [05:35] i was playing world of padman, and i lost my mouse and keyboard, then i try Ctrl-Alt Backspace someone suggest and my ubuntu is restarted [05:35] TheOneAndOnly: I'm just glad someone is helping me. =D [05:35] TheOneAndOnly: I'm searching around, too. [05:35] world of padman's problem or ubuntu? [05:36] VeN0mizer: hm, i would recommend avoiding root usage as much as possible :p if you get prompted for the pw, ctrl+c to abort :p [05:36] hmmm my real name is purple? [05:36] ChaosTheory: awesome, i appreciate you helping me, help you, makes things go smooth =] [05:36] rshives: go pidgin ;p [05:36] c-ron: yes [05:36] stbain :/dev/sda1 is not mounted (according to mtab) [05:36] Grrrr. Why do .cgi scripts keep giving me a forbidden error? [05:37] TheOneAndOnly: That's the thing...how am I to know what programs _should_ need it or not...I never would have thought tracert would need it...does it use raw sockets or something? [05:37] j3kyl1: not sure [05:37] elexhobby7 well the good new is that your partition table should be fine. [05:37] Why can't I use my external DVD burner, with a Gutsy-live in another drive? [05:37] read-only won't change!!! [05:38] j3kyl1: what type of partition is it? [05:38] stbain : it was previously used with vista... i'm on my primary now... which is ubuntu [05:38] c-ron: thats such a great relief.. tks :).. so shud i run fdisk or gpart now? [05:38] VeN0mizer: if you get an error about pipes, or permissions, you can bet you'll need root, otherwise, try and stay normal... most packet programs like tracert, will need root, hping for example. [05:38] someone can help me with instalation ? [05:38] q_a_z_steve: probably because things buffer before burning, and you don't have enough ram for that. [05:38] how do i partition my disk via command line [05:38] elexhobby7: do this first, unmount /dev/hdb3 [05:38] alrighty :) thanks for answering all my noob questions ;) [05:38] mib_q40htm8y: what version of ubuntu? i'm sure someone in here can help :) [05:39] when i remove a program in add/remove does it completely remove the software? or do i need to go to synaptic to completely remove it fom my HD? [05:39] VeN0mizer: heh, not so newb, and we've all been there before... a little google searching can turn up tons of info about linux though :D [05:39] kelvin911: yes, synaptic [05:39] kelvin911: synaptic [05:39] so add/remove is not good for remove prgram? [05:39] Too much info it seems :-D [05:39] the add/remove will leave config files [05:39] c-ron: ok did that.. [05:39] tonyyarusso: I see your point, but I do have 2GB of RAM... first issue is Why won't they allow live-user, (don't know how to get root to change this) to change from being read-only [05:40] TheOneAndOnly Change it in pidgon? [05:40] q_a_z_steve: change what? what are you talking about? [05:40] TheOneAndOnly: I don't have an alsaconf. Is that a problem? What should I do? [05:40] stbain : it was previously used with vista... i'm on my primary now... which is ubuntu [05:40] rshives: you are using pidgin right now, correct? [05:40] what if i install world of padman with *.run file? [05:40] j3kyl1: what command are you using to mount it? [05:40] Correct. [05:40] tonyyarusso: I don't want it to be read only, obviously, I want to burn... [05:40] do i uninstall it in synaptic? [05:40] ChaosTheory: i'm missing it as well, and the package isn't in there, but i'm searching to see if there's a way to get it installed :) [05:40] TheOneAndOnly : 7.10 [05:40] c-ron: can i chat from the ubuntu comp itself? or u wud still recommend chatting from the other windows comp? [05:41] TheOneAndOnly: Okay, thanks. [05:41] stbain : uhh... well just mount /dev/sda1 or mount /media/Windows Vista [05:41] kelvin911: yeah, mark for Complete removal [05:41] j3kyl1: what's the fstab line for /dev/sda1 look like? [05:41] world of padman is piece of crap [05:42] kelvin911: if you want to stick to terminal you can use sudo apt-get --purge remove package to remove :) [05:42] stbain : that way has worked before... but now vista is dead and im just gonna put ubuntu on it after i back it up.. so i need to get it there [05:42] i dont know why some people say its fun , maybe it works fine in windows [05:42] kelvin911 play call of duty 4 [05:42] stbain: hold on ill look [05:42] i dont have cod4 [05:42] dl [05:42] kelvin911 download it [05:42] maybe i will try download it later [05:42] im trying to install libmtp, but i am getting a unknown error: configure: error: I can't find the libusb libraries on your system.

I'm trying to think, I believe I've used this method before, should be fine... but if I mount it read-only (gee, I guess I could unmount, then remount as 777), then I can't even dd to it... [05:44] stbain : nothings coming up with what you gave me ... its a command line right? [05:44] * zcat[1] is upgrading #3 of 4 to hardy as we speak.. the last two went quite well.

[05:45] bye bye [05:45] q_a_z_steve: uh, you can't dd directly to optical media. [05:45] lots of packages upgraded since then though [05:45] ste-foy: np [05:45] TheOneAndOnly: That's correct.

[05:52] TheOneAndOnly: did bot just kick mib........... ? what is -e? [05:52] Lucas_simao: do you have the live cd? [05:52] stbain : ill pastebinit [05:52] TheOneAndOnly: Okay, I did that, and it gave me: You may need to execute the asoundconf(1) set-default-card macro. [05:52] q_a_z_steve: he's now known as Lucas_simao [05:52] TheOneAndOnly: I think I've already set Nvidia as my default card. [05:52] how do i get the atheros 5007eg working in ubuntu 64 bit? [05:52] stbain: http://paste.stgraber.org/2205 [05:53] ChaosTheory: before we try that, are you on the same box that's having the sound issue, or is it a different box? [05:53] ok, and general hints about s-video? [05:53] j3kyl1: doesn't look like it's mounted [05:53] TheOneAndOnly: Same computer. [05:53] j3kyl1: cd .. and try that mount command again [05:53] TheOneAndOnly: It's a laptop. [05:53] stbain : change to what dir? [05:53] ChaosTheory: see if your sound has returned... if not, i'd recommend running the command it said, as sudo of course, and then restart the box... [05:54] k, well I'll help with install where I can, for the next few minutes, especially if you can help with my issue at all. Shed some light on it: I booted into Gutsy-live and had an external DVD burner auto mounted, readonly, and I couldn't change it! [05:54] Any "mutt" users here? [05:54] TheOneAndOnly: about rootkits...people can write drivers for windows that patch kernel memory locations to manipulate kernel structures...etc...is the same thing not possible in linux? does the linux kernel protect itself somehow? [05:54] elexhobby7: whoops.. typo rerun that command as: sudo fdisk -l /dev/hdb >> ~/Desktop/fdiskinfo.txt [05:54] q_a_z_steve: if he has the livecd, you can install grub from there :) [05:54] j3kyl1: type type "cd" and it will drop you back in your homedir, then you can try the mount -t ntfs -o ro /dev/sda1 /tmp/test [05:54] TheOneAndOnly: There is no sound. =( [05:54] TheOneAndOnly: How do I do the command? [05:55] TheOneAndOnly: Or should I just restart right now? [05:55] TheOneAndOnly: yeah... should be able... did you see my issue just there, too? [05:55] ChaosTheory: at least we are eliminating possible causes =] keep positive, we'll get it working again eventually. btw, did it stop working after an update? [05:55] elexhobby4: hi [05:55] q_a_z_steve: i did not, what is your issu, sorry... [05:56] TheOneAndOnly: No, each time it was completely random (or so it seemed). [05:56] TheOneAndOnly: I was listening to some stuff and it just stopped. [05:56] ChaosTheory: redo your modconf [05:56] dsdsd [05:56] q_a_z_steve: How? [05:57] if you have no other issues with install, reboot should do it... I think... [05:57] but explore manually doing it first, not my area, sorry. [05:57] ChaosTheory: before you restart, run asoundconf [05:57] ChaosTheory: perhaps modprobe is a better suggestion. [05:57] elexhobby4: rerun that command as: sudo fdisk -l /dev/hdb >> ~/Desktop/fdiskinfo.txt [05:57] stbain : now what? [05:57] TheOneAndOnly: I ran it. [05:58] j3kyl1: did it mount? [05:58] q_a_z_steve: How do I do that? [05:58] dufeeducky: yes, your keyboard works [05:58] mutt users? need to know if you can open ms office attachments? [05:59] berbs: probably will need OOo, but I don't see a reason why not. [05:59] stbain : HELLZZZ yah lol... why ? you have to tell me why [05:59] lol [05:59] ChaosTheory: man modprobe [05:59] j3kyl1: -o ro === b0x is now known as b0xxy [05:59] whats -o ro? [05:59] j3kyl1: that puts it in "read only" mode. Since you said you're just going to be archiving stuff, I figured that would work fine for your use. [06:00] q_a_z_steve berbs if it's a word document, abiword can read them (normally) [06:00] q_a_z_steve: I have ooo, it's just that office attachments loose their formatting when opened in ooo from mutt [06:00] stbain: not to be a pain but what if i want to change that? ;) [06:00] q_a_z_steve: What do I install? [06:00] j3kyl1: umount it and then change ro to rw [06:00] does x64 ubuntu's ndiswapper need x64 windoze drivers? [06:01] stbain : alright thanks a ton [06:01] j3kyl1: np, glad I could help [06:01] is it a good idea to make a separate partition for /tmp? [06:01] ChaosTheory: you shouldn't need to install anything to run a modprobe [06:01] try from Windows, OOo vs. office loses a lot, depending on understood formatting and that. Unless we're talking about total garbage [06:01] berbs: [06:02] !wrapper | tech404 [06:02] Sorry, I don't know anything about wrapper - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [06:02] !ndiswrapper | tech404 [06:02] tech404: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [06:02] tech404: the nature of a wrapper is that it needs something from somewhere else... [06:02] TheOneAndOnly q_a_z_steve: the attachments open, they loose their formatting. Are you using mutt, do you see something similar? [06:02] berbs: what version of windows? [06:03] berbs: no, I know OOo, make some change, then see what it looks like in Windows [06:03] was the document created in [06:03] TheOneAndOnly: What module do I install, though? [06:04] c-ron: there's some problem with my internet connection i guess.. [06:04] Any way to save the rooms in pidgon? [06:04] ubuntu created 3 partitions, a linux, an extended and a swap. whats the difference between the ext and the linux partition? why 2? whats the other meant for? [06:04] elexhobby3: run: sudo fdisk -l /dev/hdb >> ~/Desktop/fdiskinfo.txt [06:04] q_a_z_steve: thanks but I knew that and I have looked over the docs, but it is failing and i cant tell why [06:05] ndis may not be ready for 64bit, I've not delved into it for a while [06:05] tech404: has it ever worked? [06:05] TheOneAndOnly q_a_z_steve : the attachments are from different word versions, but they open fine if I save them first and then open. opening directly from mutt is when the problem occurs [06:05] i got this when i am updating skype: E: /var/cache/apt/archives/skype-common_2.0.0.68-0medibuntu0.7.10.1_all.deb: trying to overwrite `/usr/share/skype/lang/skype_lv.ts', which is also in package skype [06:05] on x32 [06:05] should i just ignore it? [06:06] berbs: right, so make a change, then see what happens back at the source. [06:06] TheOneAndOnly: modprobe then what? [06:06] berbs: i think q_a_z_steve would be best to help you w. this issue. [06:06] thanks anyways maybe ill just try the x64 and see if it works... [06:06] hi guys. I've a 2GB partition formatted as linux-swap. But in system monitor it says I have 0MB of swap. What's going on?! [06:06] ChaosTheory: i'm looking into what you may need loaded right now :) [06:06] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWCQYcPlUng [06:06] alex123: might have to "swapon /dev/hdawhereswapis" [06:06] THeOneAndOnly: Okay, thanks. [06:06] tech404: so no? Good luck, join the mailing list, there's probably some serious work on 64, but It's probably totally in the amoeba stage. [06:07] q_a_z_steve Lucas_simao i'm looking into your issues as well [06:07] whats the command to change nickname? :p [06:07] is it still April 1 in some parts of the world?! [06:07] j3kyl1: /nick [06:07] zcat[1]: yes [06:07] themime, do I need to reboot? [06:07] zcat[1]: yes [06:07] oh.. I'll come back in a few hours then.. [06:07] now my skype is gone ? [06:07] themime, actually nevermind. it shows up now! thanks! [06:07] how to fix it? [06:08] kelvin911: sudo apt-get install skype should work [06:08] bypazz: Your mother and I love you very much, but what does your post have to do with anything? [06:08] alex123: its linux, you can solve nearly every problem by restarting services and such, you almost never need to reboot completely [06:08] q_a_z_steve: I am not sure what you mean make a change? You mean modify and save the attachment? [06:08] well, than answered the question.. [06:08] i downloaded skype-debian_2.0.0.63-1_i386.deb from skype site week ago and install it [06:09] themime, ok cool. thanks! [06:09] later all, thanks for your help [06:09] then moment ago there is an update pop up in ubuntu saying there is an update so i click apply [06:09] berbs: yeah, just type something in Tahoma and then save [06:09] <_aXXe_> bye [06:09] now it has error and skype is gone [06:09] /etc/init.d/kernel restart [06:09] "almost never" :-) [06:09] do i need to uninstall b4 sudo apt-get install skype? [06:10] Does anyone know of a compressor/uncompressor that doesn't suck? [06:10] That can do like, rars and stuff [06:10] when i goto synaptic i have You have 1 broken package on your system! [06:10] Use the "Broken" filter to locate it. [06:10] AdrianStrays: I rather like gzip [06:10] !rar > AdrianStrays [06:10] how to fix? [06:10] sudo fdisk -l /dev/hdb >> ~/Desktop/fdiskinfo.txt [06:11] AdrianStrays: bzip2 [06:11] can someone help me- how do i create a partition that is completely encrypted, just a small partition that will hold a single folder for important data [06:11] gzip and bzip2 can't do rars, of course.. [06:11] not the whole root [06:11] c-ron: are u still there.. I'd lost my internet connection [06:11] sudo fdisk -l /dev/hdb >> ~/Desktop/fdiskinfo.txt [06:11] q_a_z_steve: it turns out ubunt64 requires 64 bit windoze drivers for ndiswapper... just in case it helps someone in the future thanks for trying to help [06:12] how do i change my nickname? [06:12] elexhobby6 that command ^^^ [06:12] i should have follow the philosophy "if it aint broken dont fix or update it" shit [06:12] Well, I need one that CAN do rars [06:12] !rar [06:12] rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft.

[06:19] q_a_z_steve, yep. [06:19] TheOneAndOnly: Okay, then. One secnod. [06:19] *second [06:19] kelvin911: what version of ubuntu? [06:19] how do i install rpm in ubuntu? [06:20] 7.10 [06:20] my ubuntu gutsy, on my laptop, keeps freezing [06:20] hmm, well I'm not going to be much help, working on the conversion from Nero to Ubuntu myself [06:20] after startup [06:20] Could someone give a complete linux noob some assistance? [06:20] TheOneAndOnly: cant find broken package [06:20] sriramoman, what are you trying to install? [06:20] Virtualbox [06:20] !rpm [06:20] 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) [06:20] i shouldnt update it in the first place...... :( [06:20] i c [06:20] !rpm > sriramoman [06:20] ok [06:20] sriramoman, I think virtualbox is in the repos.. if you try with an rpm thing will probably break [06:21] Sweet, got Skype working. [06:21] Im having so much trouble getting linux to work on this system [06:21] ok [06:21] !virtualbox | sriramoman [06:21] sriramoman: virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available in !Gutsy as 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [06:21] c-ron: did u get my last message? [06:21] sriramoman: you can use alien to convert the rpm to a deb [06:21] Is there someone here who is really familiar with installing linux? [06:21] but will it break my package system? [06:22] TheOneAndOnly, see ubotu post above.. you too sriramoman [06:22] sriramoman: the debs for virtualbox are on their site though, and for gutsy/hardy, it should be in the repo, as stated [06:22] TheOneAndOnly: http://img155.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotyw8.png what should i do ? [06:22] !ask | rpclancy [06:22] rpclancy: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [06:22] TheOneAndOnly: I have sound. =] [06:22] TheOneAndOnly: New problem, though: my resolution didn't stay the same. [06:23] *nod* Will do. I have trouble following so many lines, so I was hoping to find someone to work with one on one. Anyway... : [06:23] elexhobby see your forum post [06:23] rpclancy: no, none of us, we're all talking about Africa... [06:23] I imagine everyone here is 'familiar' with installing linux.. preinstalled is not that common yet [06:23] Scunizi, i was just stating you COULD use the alien pkg to convert rpms to debs, i wouldn't for vbox though ;] [06:23] i know that it is available in repo, but i already have an rpm. i just wanted to confirm if it will be stable to install the rpm. coz internet here is limited. [06:23] no === cody-somerville_ is now known as cody-somerville [06:24] zcat[1]: *sob* why can't we all get Dell's? [06:24] TheOneAndOnly: I think it's because I uninstalled one of the Nvidia packages I had early for something else. [06:24] I have a Toshiba A205-S5800 I just won. It has Vista on it, and was worthless, and Installing XP is difficult due to it not recognizing the hard drives on this laptop. SO Someone suggested Linux. It worked, but I think a lot of my drivers are wrong, and my qireless card is missing in action. I know NOTHING about linux, so, i'm kinda lost. [06:24] ChaosTheory: you'll want to reinstall your Nvid packages then... [06:24] how do I get irssi to output the uname -a command into irc? [06:24] rpclancy: maybe give ##windows a try [06:24] check out restricted drivers under system [06:24] q_a_z_steve: Dell do preinstalled? I can't find it on their website... :( [06:24] sip!

[06:35] Scunizi: i either need msn or skype to talk to her via webcam [06:35] Do you have to buy minutes or how does it work> [06:35] TheSandman: np, i'm not trying to blow you off, i'm just helping out a few other users atm, so it's getting chaotic :p [06:35] j3kyl1, if you install xp after ubuntu you'll loose ubuntu's boot manager and will have to fix it.. not a big issue if you hv a live cd. [06:35] hi all, is there a way to tell linux software raid to scan the drives' partitions for the raid information? the drive order of my box changes which each boot [06:35] TheOneAndOnly: okay :) [06:35] kelvin911, skype works fine and amsn also works [06:35] c-ron: it says /dev/hdb3 has no valid partition table.. btw my internet connection has a problem. [06:35] TheOneAndOnly: I just IMed you. [06:35] HorizonXP-> not sure, but you can try to mount the subject partition and start reading it? [06:35] how should i go about installing xp on a secondary hd for dual boot with ubuntu? does ubuntu have its own boot mananger? [06:35] Scunizi: but msn webcam quality is horrible [06:36] HorizonXP: there is, there are drivers in the repos for that, you should be able to find it in synaptic, and google will turn up info on how to mount the partitions in a read-write mode [06:36] amenado: yeah, I can mount and read it just fine [06:36] kelvin911, but you didn't really want to look at her .... did you? [06:36] Scunizi: because her upload speed on the other end is only 256Kbps [06:36] TheOneAndOnly: Google's telling me to disable journaling in Mac OSX [06:36] j3kyll: install xp then reinstall grub [06:36] HorizonXP-> so try to touch a file on it. [06:36] Scunizi: i do have to look at her [06:36] kelvin911, :) [06:36] amenado: it cannot, read-only filesystem [06:36] c-ron: cud u type in the instructions on the forum, or we cud irc sometime later? my email id is elexhobby@yahoo.com.. plz send me a mail telling when u cud be free.. [06:37] kelvin911: sounds like a crappy webcam or a crappy connection [06:37] HorizonXP: are you registered on this server? if so send me a pm, if not do you have a messenger client? [06:37] Scunizi: anyway she needs to look at me [06:37] HorizonXP-> well try mounting it read+write ? [06:37] the problem is her isp [06:37] amenado: /dev/sda2 on /media/MacOSX type hfsplus (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal) [06:37] kelvin: port forwarding maybe??? [06:37] amenado: it is rw [06:37] kelvin911, use a static picture instead of motion video [06:37] no her internet upload is crappy [06:37] HorizonXP-> where does it indicate its read-only filesystem then? [06:38] Scunizi: she wants to use webcam [06:38] i have no other choice' [06:38] amenado: when I try to modify any file it says it's read-only [06:38] but mount tries to mount it read-write [06:38] i try many webcam software, found that skype is the best [06:38] HorizonXP-> i dont know then, as I've said you can try to create a file there? [06:39] amenado: touch test results in touch: cannot touch `test': Read-only file system [06:39] Awp: let me check if pidgin can connect gmail [06:40] kelvin911, it can.. i do it [06:40] HorizonXP-> well then maybe your kernel only supports read only for hfsplus [06:41] amenado: the kernel isn't what contols the read write, there are drivers for hfs [06:41] Scunizi: google talk ? [06:41] HorizonXP-> am curious as to what your cat /proc/filesystems reports? [06:41] kelvin911, yes.. pidgin will connect to gtalk [06:41] amenado: hfsplus is listed at the bottom [06:41] * zcat[1] suggests mount -o remount,rw /mountpoint [06:42] kelvin911, that is from one gtalk account to another. [06:42] Awp: what is your gmail account? [06:42] Scunizi: what is your gmail account? [06:43] kelvin911 Kiteblackrose [06:43] Hey guys. I have a corrupted disk running OSX, so I burned an Ubuntu live cd to see if I can get at some of the files and retrieve them. It turns out I can read the files, but they are in my home directory and I do not have permission to do anything with them. How can I change that from Ubunut? [06:43] kelvin911, sorry I'm on a xp laptop and don't have it loaded. [06:43] my gmail email is kelvin911@gmail.com add me [06:43] ouch [06:43] catalyst_media: i'm helping out an issue similar to yours, i'll have the person contact you when we reslove it :] [06:44] TheOneAndOnly: That would be fantastic! Thank god for Ubuntu Live cd's haha [06:45] HorizonXP: you are still on correct? [06:46] kelvin911 i don't see u on [06:46] TheOneAndOnly: I found a possible sollution, and 'till now it seems to be working [06:46] HorizonXP lsmod| grep hfs and lsmod |grep hfsplus shows? [06:46] TheOneAndOnly: if it re-appears, is qaz the person to talk to? [06:46] TheSandman: a solution for what? [06:46] morning [06:47] TheOneAndOnly: the desktop freeze [06:47] TheSandman: ah, he certainly would be :) [06:47] TheOneAndOnly: i see [06:47] and TheSandman congrats :) [06:47] TheSandman: i'd assist you too, but i'm helping about 3 other ppl still [06:47] TheOneAndOnly: thanks, let's just hope it'll keep working [06:47] TheOneAndOnly: i saw that [06:47] amenado: both show hfsplus 84872 1 [06:47] I have a drive on my system that doesn't seem to mount partitions after a reboot (/dev/sdf but no /dev/sdf1) i have checked the drive with fdisk and the partitions are there, and ideas? [06:48] can someone guide me how to triple-boot macosx86,ubuntu and xp? [06:48] sriramoman: as in a hackintosh? [06:48] yeah, sort of [06:48] HorizonXP-> i wonder if you can modprobe hsf === never|mobi is now known as neversfelde|mobi [06:48] i have an lzm of a kernal from "slax" that i want to use instead of the normal kernel. is this compatable with ubuntu somehow? [06:49] HorizonXP-> i wonder if you can modprobe hfs rather [06:49] i want to upgrade a system currently still running feisty to gutsy, however a dist-upgrade leads to apt trying to remove apt & libstdc++6 which leads to a warning (obviously) about breaking the system .. A normal upgrade doesn't seem to run in that problem - so maybe I should just do upgrade and then dist-upgrade ? It's just odd because I can't seem to remember that behavior from previous upgrades from feisty.. Does anyone have an idea [06:49] amenado: done [06:49] hfs 54664 0 [06:49] hfsplus 84872 1 [06:49] HorizonXP-> now try and see if you can write? [06:49] amenado: nope, same issue [06:50] gilligan_: yes, you should normally upgrade, I've been told, before you try to jump to a new version.. [06:50] HorizonXP-> oh well, am out of ideas [06:50] gilligan_, there's a section for upgraded from one version to another at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FAQ [06:50] amenado: thanks, I appreciate it :) TheOneAndOnly is trying to help me too [06:50] HorizonXP-> maybe remount the partition as read write and then try the write again.. [06:51] gilligan_: also, are you using do-release-upgrade as you're supposed to? [06:51] howdy folks [06:51] hi [06:51] if i accidentally set my keyboard layout to the wrong thing during install, where do i go to change it? [06:51] adante, system/preferances/keyboard [06:52] adante: go dvorak [06:53] how do you bring up taskmanager (ctrl+alt+del on windows) to kill an application thats not responding? [06:53] hey node357 [06:53] HorizonXP-> is hfsplus package installed on yours? you can apt-get install hfsplus and use the hpmount ? [06:53] MagoonD: it's the system monitor [06:53] MagoonD: ps aux | grep applicationname to find the pid of the process, then -> kill -9 pid [06:53] alt+f2 and type in gnome-system-monitor [06:53] oh.. haha i do'nt have a GUI, so listen to TheOneAndOnly [06:53] MagoonD, i use top [06:54] themime: or you could just pkill appname [06:54] themime, sn00zer theres no gui for it [06:54] where's the chat room? [06:54] <--- hasn't chatted in years on irc :D [06:54] what if i didn't know the app name, whats the appname for firefox? [06:55] firefox-bin [06:55] ok that worked sn00zer but how can i list all the apps currently running [06:56] zcat[1]: well of course i should upgrade to the most recent packages of X before upgrading to X+1 .. so much is obvious [06:56] sculework: hrm, any idea where this option is in kubuntu? :] [06:56] greets, I just patched my ubuntu 7.10 install for the bcm43xx driver to support injection mode. However, now I cannot see any AP. Any ideas? [06:56] MagoonD, ps aux [06:56] zcat[1]: and i am pretty sure that the do-release-upgrade python script doesnothing else than just executing apt-get dist-upgrade anyway [06:56] TheOneAndOnly, thanks i didnt read your answer [06:56] MagoonD: ps aux, or top for a list of top processes [06:56] np MagoonD [06:56] thx rwilkins [06:57] np [06:57] whats the command to shutdown in 5 hours? [06:58] man shutdown === Cosmosan is now known as Cosmo-san [06:58] shutdown 300 -P i think it would be [06:58] Awp: shutdown -h hh:mm [06:59] Awp: where hh:mm are the hour and minute to shutdown [06:59] Awp: shutdown -r 5:00 would be 5am system time, so you don't have to worry about a timer [06:59] Awp: or man shutdown :) [06:59] -r is reboot [06:59] rwilkins so its five hours for shtudown -r 05:00 [06:59] -P is power down [06:59] Awp: shutdown has to be run from sudo though [06:59] rwilkins or its five hours for shutdown -r 5:00 [07:00] Awp: 05:00 at the end of that will indicate 5am, not a countdown of 5 hours [07:01] q_a_z_steve-> is that 5AM local time or based on utc time? [07:01] SYSTEM time [07:01] is there a way to force linux to rescan the partition tables of my disks? [07:01] Awp: and use -h for halt, not -r for reboot [07:01] shutdown -P 300 or shutdown _p 05:00 is the same thing [07:01] meaning whatever time you are currently, regardless of time zone [07:01] -P i eman [07:01] mean lol [07:01] the computer clock could be running off of africa time [07:02] Hello guys i have a problem on setting up the menu.lst of grub's bootManager (Ι have already Ubuntu) in order to boot slackware from there any help [07:02] rwilkins halt also mean shutdown? [07:02] TIME may have different formats, the most common is simply the word 'now' which [07:02] will bring the system down immediately. Other valid formats are +m, where m is [07:02] rwilkins so it would shutdown with out error? [07:02] the number of minutes to wait until shutting down and hh:mm which specifies the [07:02] I've mounted the slack on dev/sdsa6 [07:02] time on the 24hr clock. [07:02] kindofabuzz: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:02] Awp: yup (sorry, i'm not registered and can't pm) [07:02] Question: If I setup default boot option in grub menu and hide the menu, then is there option to show it? (like F8 when I boot windows)? [07:02] and the slack's boot folder is @ http://www.pastebin.ca/966206 [07:03] kindofabuzz: shutdown -P or -h 300 will count down, but then needs a time like "now" shutdown -h 5:00 means whenever the clock strikes 5am next, shutdown [07:03] Awp shutdown --help === co-djail is now known as co-silver [07:03] <_maw> just patched bcm43xx wireless driver to support injection mode.

[07:04] BESIDES Kopete [07:04] Does anyone know how to make the sound stop glitching? for some reason it plays normal if I move my mouse around.....which I think is odd. [07:04] there is no other [07:04] _maw: get a separate card for injection... just my $0.02 [07:04] =) [07:04] e-buddy? [07:04] does anyone use apache + mono to write .net apps? [07:04] * rwilkins cringes at .net [07:04] MagoonD: XAMPP [07:04] <_maw> rwilkins: ok, I won't rule that out. In theory I just need *one* card though right? [07:04] stunatra, have you tried gaim [07:04] GAIM has gone to shit since they've made it Pidgin [07:04] I have 7.10 and the sound is all CRAZY!! Anyone encounter this problem before? [07:04] gaim is pidgin [07:05] no shit [07:05] affirmative [07:05] !language | stunatra [07:05] stunatra: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [07:05] _maw: Correct, you only NEED one card. However, in my experience reinjection with a broadcom card is more trouble than its worth [07:05] what is wrong with "shit" ? [07:05] LOL [07:06] <_maw> rwilkins: do you know why those features are missing? [07:06] stunatra: Its considered foul language. [07:06] uh huh [07:06] Does anyone know a good tutorial that can teach me the difference between SLAB & SLUB? I need to change from SLAB to SLUB I believe in order to get this damn closed-source Creative X-Fi x64 beta driver to work w/ ubuntu.

[07:07] stunatra: maybe my 9 year old is reading this, did you think about that? [07:07] _maw: Probably something more like proprietary drivers [07:07] just fess up, and take some responsibility [07:07] not like your 9 year old never heard the word before [07:07] <_maw> rwilkins: that is indeed true. The bcm43xx is a restricted driver [07:07] <_maw> rwilkins: the patched version hacks injection code I think [07:07] pidgin is 10 times better than kopete [07:07] <_maw> rwilkins: I am still researching it [07:07] damnit.. stupid dist-upgrade is broken and/or apt package dependencies wrong.. can't seem to find a clean way to upgrade from feisty to gutsy [07:07] I need to register so I can pm [07:07] serious question. Sound glitch fixes...anyone got any good ideas? [07:08] stunatra: Why has GAIM gone to shit? [07:08] Hackerwdpi800: what?!?! no way [07:08] * rwilkins shrugs and realizes he is too lazy [07:08] Pidgin is better than Kopete, no doubt about that [07:08] I require a solution. Someone must have had this problem before. [07:08] pidgin pwns kopete [07:08] hands down [07:08] maybe pidgin will have video in version 3.0 [07:08] Kopete doesn't even have a decent logger [07:08] Kopete pwns all! =) actually i don't need the functions of netier, all i need to do is type words to the other end and reciever words [07:08] won't even let you add your own SN to the buddy list? LOL [07:09] damn i can't type [07:09] ya stu [07:09] !register > rwilkins [07:09] why would you add your own name to the list? you that lonely? [07:09] i couldnt send files with pidgin on yahoo, i have to use gyachi or something to do that [07:09] because I want it there [07:09] simple as that [07:09] mmmmk [07:09] why does Kopete so anal about such a stupid thing? [07:09] Hello, I just noticed that upon typing "users", it shows the same user thrice: user user user. I often change to su then back to su user--is that causing the problem? Is it a problem having user user user, and how do I prevent this from occurring in the future? Thanks, [07:09] get+ [07:10] why are you so anal about adding your own name? lol [07:10] because I want it there [07:10] that's why [07:10] HorizonXP-> this seem to indicate you can write to hfsplus http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?s=75f3411c5ec586a1d53ba013423f91cb&showtopic=94555&pid=674841&st=0&#entry6 [07:10] for? [07:10] so you can have someone to talk to? [07:10] LOL [07:10] <_maw> rwilkins: lol... I registered but never auth when I join the network [07:10] does Kopete have a reason why I can't add my own SN to my buddy list? [07:10] because it's smarter than you and realizes you don't need to do that? [07:11] I WANT TO do that [07:11] lol that makes no sense at all [07:11] _maw: I should but its so... many... keystrokes... [07:11] so what if it doesn't make sense? [07:11] it doesn't make sense that the program wouldn't let me do that [07:11] AIM lets me do it, as does GAIM/Pidgin [07:11] why does Kopete have to be different? [07:11] because there is no reason to do it! that's why the programmers didn't do it [07:11] <_maw> rwilkins: only cause we were talking about it I indentified myself >.< [07:11] The programmers are idiots [07:12] <_maw> rwilkins: #linux banned me cause my name starts with an underscore [07:12] lol, i believe it's the user [07:12] LainIwakura, if you use the 'who' or 'w' commands, you should see how exactly the various users are interacting with the system .. it is quite normal to see yourself logged in multiple times [07:12] is there a repository to get latest FF 3.0 beta 5? [07:12] uh huh [07:12] what's up with the logger? [07:12] unop_: I think that instead of su , I should have typed exit to prevent this from occurring. [07:12] all you see is this < > < stupid sh!t [07:12] dek: FF? [07:12] gilligan_: Firefox ;) [07:13] what logger?

[07:15] rwilkins, the official ubuntu stance is to use 'sudo -i' instead of su .. there really is no need for su [07:15] does someone with hardy have any problems with tty's not working?

[07:15] how do i install security updates in ubuntu server [07:15] kindofabuzz: yes [07:15] LainIwakura, you don't need to delete the 'superfluous' user sessions because they are you interacting with the system in different ways [07:16] unop_: Okay, thanks. [07:16] LainIwakura, like i said, use 'who' or 'w' to see how they are working with the system [07:16] unop: fair enough, i normally sudo -s === cE_eXeMpHe_ is now known as ce_macan [07:16] the way i fixed mine is go to your services and look for terminal multiplexor and enable it [07:16] dunno why it was enabled [07:17] ampmaniac sudo apt-get install mysql-admin mysql-browser [07:17] unop_: Okay, I see. Each is using a different screen window. [07:17] disabled i mean [07:17] that was to you x1250 [07:17] LainIwakura, right, so that's why you see your current username logged in thrice [07:17] unop_: Great, thanks for your help.

If you are interested will give details if I find something in syslog. "dpkg --configure -a" is done. Synaptic shows packages are installed (not broken) - do I have to reinstall for any case? [07:25] the README.initrd file is blank [07:25] im ssh root [07:25] rwilkins never suggest that, suggest visudo .

This can't be normal. [07:26] mmm4m5m I'd try to keep track of what's running when it freezes.

[07:28] Colypso: know any good 0-day priv escalation exploits? :) [07:28] when is a stable of 8.04 coming out? [07:28] MagoonD, what is X in this case? you should refer to it's documentation [07:28] !hardy | akbrennan [07:28] yeah [07:28] akbrennan: Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 24, 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE BETA SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu [07:28] akbrennan, 8.07 [07:28] 8.04 stable will be out in about 2 and a half weeks [07:28] * nikrud checks the topic again [07:28] i created the user ssh on the command line [07:28] then logged in [07:29] Hello [07:29] i still have root access [07:29] sweet. thanks === Zelta_ is now known as Zelta [07:29] Colypso ah, as root: adduser ssh admin [07:29] unop_, um, No. There's been no mention of a delay in the next release. 8.07 is unlikely... [07:29] can we upgrade to hardy heron via the update manager when its released? I am running gutsy gibbon [07:29] MagoonD, yes [07:29] Madpilot the topic for april 1st said a 3 month delay [07:29] Colypso: oh, well log in as root and visudo to add sudo privs to the new user you created [07:29] anyone know any cool iPhone tricks? [07:30] Madpilot, what if i wanted to save my current config before upgrading incase hardy messes things up [07:30] MagoonD, please take this to #ubuntu+1 [07:30] nikrud, heh. It's still the 1st here :) [07:30] akbrennan: yeah just chunk it as hard as you can then pick it up...fun [07:30] nikrud, aprils fool maybe? [07:30] I've been having problems with ubuntu recently, and i'm trying to install Kubuntu to see if there's a problem there as well. The problem is that everytime I turn the computer on, or log out and in of ubuntu, it tells me that it can't find my monitor, and sets me at 800x600 Resolution. So I pick my monitor from the list and it says "Please log out and in or restart to see changes", and well, when I do, it does it over and over again. So I [07:30] MagoonD probably :) [07:30] it's april 2nd! [07:30] nikrud: check first 10 lines from syslog. I do not see anything suspicious. This was first boot for today. As I remember: I did login, run pidgin, run synergys, run synaptic, start installing update, open "#ubuntu" and just typed a second msg here. About Alt+F? - usually I do try these, Not sure about Alt+F2, but I am sure, I did try Alt+F1 and Alt+F7, Alt+F8, Alt+F11. It is the same, right? [07:30] unop whats ubuntu+1? [07:31] t [07:31] nikrud: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61906/ [07:31] !hardy | MagoonD [07:31] MagoonD: Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 24, 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE BETA SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu [07:31] MagoonD, #ubuntu+1 is the channel for pre-release discussion of the next version of Ubuntu [07:31] mmm4m5m no, you need clt-alt-f* when in X to get to a terminal [07:31] this room is moving way to fast for me [07:31] im lost [07:31] Colypso, this is pretty standard for #ubuntu, actually. Slow, even. [07:31] ok [07:31] what now [07:31] Colypso: and its really slow compared to how its usually running [07:32] nikrud: sure, in this case it was not working, that is why I told - everything hang up - keys, mouse, just everything [07:32] probalby only 20-30 active right now. [07:32] unop_, my ? wasnt related to the next version but related to how do I back (create a ghost image in windows) so i can restore my config incase something goes wrong [07:32] what command [07:32] Colypso when you create a new user, it's not automatically given sudo privileges. You have to assign them by adding them to the admin group. hence, adduser ssh admin to give your ssh user admin privs [07:32] ? [07:33] so i type in adduser [07:33] then? [07:33] MagoonD, you were asking a question about how to restore if hardy messed up :) [07:33] Colypso then, get back out of root on the remote and try ssh'ing in [07:33] nikrud: update which I run was two "ssh" packages. I run my updates using synaptic (this way I am able to see more details before update) [07:33] i dont know what to type into root [07:33] Colypso: type « groups ssh » to see what groups that user is a memeber of. And if it is a member of admin, then it is allowed to run sudo [07:34] MagoonD: if yuou have to ask a question like that, its probably bestto jut wait till Hardy is stable. [07:34] why wont people Pm u in this room [07:34] ok thanks unop_ , IndyGunFreak [07:34] mmm4m5m could be memory issues. I had that happen to me once, so I ran the memtest function on the grub boot screen, figured out the bad mem stick and pulled it [07:34] Can anyone please help me? I am having problems achieving resolutions higher than 800x600 in Ubuntu. [07:35] Rkod: what card do you have? [07:35] Colypso to be clear: you have root on the remote, right? And that's the place you want ssh to have sudo privs? [07:35] Nvidia 5500 FX [07:35] x1250: well the service is called screen [07:35] With drivers installed, but everytime I start up, it asks me about my monitor. [07:35] i have root through putty [07:35] x1250: terminal multiplexor (screen) [07:35] hi... am back [07:35] Rkod: and what version are you running? [07:36] Rkod: is it a fresh install? [07:36] did someone read and answer my question? [07:36] Through wubi [07:36] Colypso ok, and you want the user ssh on the remote to be able to sudo ? [07:36] The newest stable, I believe [07:36] 8.04 [07:36] yes [07:36] i need to re-write an appendable CD... what should i use, and how? [07:36] nikrud: I never used memtest, have to try. this is P4 laptop - meaning I did not notice problems before. Anyway, will check it. Thank you. [07:36] Rkod: the channel you want to join is #ubuntu+1 [07:36] i want the user to be able to do everything [07:37] Colypso ok, in root in putty, type: adduser ssh admin . After you do that, anyone logging in as ssh will be able to use sudo [07:37] Allright, thanks. [07:37] the DVD/CD Writer tool doesnt seem to do it... the CD was created with Sonic Read Now 8.0 on my previous WinXP build, which I am no longer using! [07:37] for the beta release [07:37] x1250: screen is in the repostitories [07:37] i have about 300 CDs that need to be re-written [07:37] adduser: The user `ssh' does not exist. [07:37] Colypso then, what user on the remote do you want to have sudo privileges? [07:38] colypso [07:38] Colypso you said you'd added the user ssh , we had a communication problem. sudo adduer colypso admin [07:39] he can't sudo! [07:39] we tried that earlier [07:39] Colypso typo: adduser colypso admin [07:39] oh as root [07:39] that worked [07:39] why didn't that work before? [07:39] Colypso now, try ssh'ing in as colypso [07:39] didnt try before [07:40] thought we did [07:40] x1250: you still here? [07:40] * nikrud is so sudo-fied he often types it in when in sudo -i anyway [07:40] i probably couldnt keep up [07:40] Colypso what irc client are you using? [07:40] mirc [07:41] Colypso doesn't it colorize when someone types your name in a line? [07:41] nope [07:41] btw, i am new here [07:41] hey how come my ftp server home directory always change back to default /var/ftp ?? [07:42] Colypso in fact, the only reason I was able to keep up with you was I kept my eyes on the screen all the time. If you had typed, for example nikrud nope , that line would be red in xchat [07:42] i want it to be /media/NTFS500GB-A but everytime it changes back to /var/ftp [07:43] kelvin911: check the servers config file? [07:43] system is up to date [07:43] thanks guys [07:43] im sure ill be back tomorrow [07:43] Colypso is always welcome :) === Colypso is now known as Colypso|sleeping [07:44] isnt there anyone who can assist/help me?

[08:07] rrowell: it works last night [08:07] rrowell: for some reason now wont work [08:07] how do you make ubuntu boot default to run level 3 [08:07] nolf thanks man it started now [08:07] kelvin911, that is the config file that the UI you are using to modify the configuration file is running with sufficient permisions to modify said config file? [08:07] how do you unblacklist something [08:07] rrowell: is there an easier ftp server then gproftpd? [08:07] rrowell: something like servU in windows? [08:07] rrowell: i think it is [08:08] rrowell: because it is in ugly theme which mean the program is running as root [08:08] Kelvin911 Nice theme !!! [08:08] There seems to be xvnc4viewer installed by default in Gutsy. Which of the several vnc server alternatives should I use with it? [08:09] Gatestone: i use xtightvncviewer [08:09] Gatestone: its the best [08:09] kelvin911, so you are running gproftpd as root then? [08:10] rrowell: i think so [08:10] kelvin911, I guess you recommend tightvncserver also? [08:10] it works last night but then it doest work today [08:10] How much size does the Ubuntu partition need? Whats recommended? [08:10] Gatestone: yes tightvnc [08:10] marlun: i would say at least 50GB? [08:11] kelvin911, it does the same for me [08:11] marlun: around 2.5 GB is needed. Recommended depends on a) how many non-default programs you want to install, b) how much you have in files. 10GB is a good minimum. [08:11] huh [08:11] is there any way to run ubuntu without x by default? [08:11] kelvin911, but it looks like it is doing it on purpose [08:11] hi guys [08:11] 2g is at least [08:11] kelvin911, makes me wonder if it is a permisions thing [08:11] rrowell: what u mean? [08:11] my linux kernel source tree seems to be incomplete or missing... how can i update that? [08:11] rrowell: is there other better FTP server? [08:12] marlun, after the install just remove oopenoffice will save a lot space [08:12] kelvin911, IE, maybe the UI knows the FTP daemon wouldn't have sufficient permisions to read/write that directory [08:12] kelvin911, AFAIK proftpd is pretty damned good [08:12] rrowell: like more user friendly even your mom can use it ftp server? [08:12] justmozzy sudo apt-get install linux-source , it'll drop a tarball in /usr/src [08:12] darkscript: of course - servers do it all the time. [08:12] kelvin911: seems a little much doesn't it? :) [08:12] tonyyarusso: Ok, thanks :) [08:12] nikrud: thanks :) [08:12] kelvin911, maybe not super user friendly, but you aren't running a MAC now are you ;-) [08:12] yes tony, but i want to know how [08:13] is there FTP server for dummy? [08:13] darkscript: if you already have a desktop setup, you can remove "gdm" from a runlevel, and boot that runlevel. If you install a server, you don't have it in the first place. :P [08:13] as i am running a server of regular ubuntu, however i did not have the resources at the time to use [08:13] icesword: I think I need OO since I want to be able to write from templates created for Word and Google Docs for example can't do that from what I know. [08:13] kelvin911: vsftpd is the best I've found - reasonably good documentation out there. [08:13] you cant just change a grub setting or add an extra line? [08:13] like perhaps runlevel 3? [08:13] rrowell: is vsftpd gui based? [08:13] kelvin911: no. [08:14] i need something easy [08:14] kelvin911: good servers usually aren't gui [08:14] marlun, if you want a better choice,eioffice is alternative,but it is not fre [08:14] e [08:14] kelvin911: search for 'ftpd howto' [08:14] kelvin911: there are tons of very good guides available [08:14] darkscript in ubuntu, levels 2-5 all run gdm (gui) . You can rename S30gdm to K30gdm in any of them to enable the action you're looking for [08:14] how do you edit runlevels in ubuntu, from command level [08:15] hey ubuntu! [08:15] hey ubuntu! [08:15] hi.. [08:15] darkscript best way is to install sysv-rc-conf [08:15] ok my task is very simple, just share my external hd i have 3 external HD on usb: how to share them just allow download only [08:15] lol hey Chea [08:15] !sysv-rc-conf [08:15] Sorry, I don't know anything about sysv-rc-conf - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [08:15] that in /etc nikrud? [08:15] darkscript remembering that best is subjective, of course [08:15] kelvin911: google for a howto.. its really simple [08:15] darkscript: if you don't know them already, use sysv-rc-conf :) [08:15] I dont even know what Ubuntu is... [08:15] they are /media/NTFS500GB-A /media/NTFS500GB-B /media/WDC120GB [08:16] nikrud: and if you do, what is it, update-rc.d? [08:16] i google and spend like 3 night still cant get those command base ftp running [08:16] kelvin911, how do I run the VNC server so that it shares the existing local X server desktop? [08:16] Chea> you familiar with linux or unix? [08:16] No sorry. [08:16] kelvin911: so you want someone to explain how you should do step-by-step here? [08:16] my task is very simple , i just want to share 3 USB HD [08:17] tonyyarusso yes, but the time it takes to construct the right command line (especially if you only use it a few times a year) is more than installing and running sysv-rc-conf [08:17] Chea> familiar with Mac? [08:17] yes please albech [08:17] No. :( [08:17] i dont need fancy setting [08:17] but need username and password [08:17] kelvin911: what ftp server are you using? might want to try vsftpd [08:17] Chea> have you previously heard of any of those? [08:17] i install vsftpd the other nightm cant get it to work [08:17] nikrud: of course :) [08:17] Yes ofcourse, I wonder what advantages Ubuntu has over any other distrubtion around Linux? [08:17] command is too much for me [08:18] Is it only the fancy GUI and the nice start up sound? [08:18] kelvin911: did you read the guide on help.ubuntu.com? [08:18] I tried emulate it on VMWare, it totally blowed. [08:18] Chea: that would be a question for #ubuntu-offtopic [08:18] Well I have questions. Would it not be a suitable channel to get answers about Ubuntu? [08:18] offtopic people kick me back to here [08:19] so i am thinking people in here are more intelligent [08:19] Chea: support questions, sure. distro comparisons would be offtopic though. === manado_ is now known as ce^peramal [08:19] So what has Ubuntu to offer me other than what I've read on the website? [08:19] Chea: a good community and plenty of tested software/tools [08:20] How is it running a server off it? [08:20] Chea: i personally dont.. i prefer it for desktop systems [08:20] please send me a good easy guide to how to set up ftp with gproftpd or vsftpd [08:20] Chea: that doesnt mean it cant.. i hear its pretty good for servers too [08:21] assuming i dont know anything about networking [08:21] albech> for a desktop system you're running an x server... [08:21] Hm interesting. [08:21] Can you shoop da woop with Ubuntu? [08:21] Chea: I have five production servers running Ubuntu at work. Great so far. [08:21] Like photoshop but on Ubuntu? [08:21] kelvin911: the one on help.ubuntu.com is the place to start. [08:21] question about k3b.... there is existing data on the cd, when i made a New Data Project the files were not replaced/rewritten... why? [08:22] pteague: ? [08:22] i spent 2 night finding help on there no help [08:22] Any specific program that handles graphics, similiar to Photoshop? [08:22] Chea> the gimp is a good alternative to photoshop... it's pretty much the same thing [08:22] Chea: gimp [08:22] Chea: gimp [08:22] Ah thanks for the questions. [08:22] <3 === arief is now known as c0w26_dboongnCEW [08:23] I'll be considering Ubuntu. === rey is now known as ce_manizz_smp [08:23] Chea: id recommend photoshop cs2 through wine though [08:23] whats a terminal with more features than xterm that doenst use gnome or KDE stuff? [08:24] icesword: never heard of eioffice, will take a look, thanks! [08:24] kelvin911, and SCP won't work? [08:24] sidis405: do you know why the existing files on the appendable CD were not erased/replaced when i made a new data project and executed, with k3b? [08:24] So what is WINE then? [08:24] advanced linux user with two sound-cards wants to know how to make volume up/down/mute keys work with (ALSA) card2 (which is an EMU10K1 device)... Anyone? [08:24] !wine [08:24] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. [08:24] hi all [08:25] !k3b [08:25] k3b is a feature-rich and user-friendly burning application for KDE (and, as all KDE applications, works fine on GNOME). For a guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/K3BHowto [08:25] How do I run a VNC server so that incoming users can share the regular X server desktop (mouse, keyboard) with me, for tutoring purposes? [08:26] Gatestone: System > Prefs > Remote Desktop [08:26] Gatestone: i think u need to run tightVNC server === rey is now known as ce_manizz_smp [08:28] What would I need to do if I wanted to package something for ubuntu? [08:28] bye all [08:28] !packaging | woodwizzle [08:28] woodwizzle: The packaging guide is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages for information on getting a package integrated into Ubuntu - Other developer resources are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment - See also !backports [08:29] hi, can someone help me with the inetutils-talk and inet-utils-talkd programs, I can't get them to work ? [08:29] f === widyanet-06 is now known as elisa-chinese [08:29] Is it normal that my admin user cannot even issue a mv command in /var/www? [08:30] Or does that folder normally require a sudo prefix to modify? === Azer_ is now known as Azer [08:30] LainIwakura sudo is needed there, as it is anywhere outside of your home [08:30] LainIwakura, Correct. === wobblyw1 is now known as wobblywu [08:30] LainIwakura, that's normally a folder that needs sudo [08:30] nikrud, cody-somerville, Madpilot: Okay, thanks. [08:31] does anyone here know something about the talk command ? [08:31] kelvin911, it is a permisions issue === rey is now known as ce_manizz_smp === sy001 is now known as edieson [08:34] is there an easy way to give user "guest" no permissions what so ever except to execute shared apps? [08:35] j3kyll: What sort of things are you suggesting you take away? [08:35] in the process of installing ebox on my computer, I removed sysvinit and replaced it with upstart. Now my computer won't boot up. Is there some way to undo what I did using a live cd? [08:36] Flannel : all priveledes, ...file making, etc... except for excuting apps. (essentially the user will have the same files each time they log in. so they won't "muck it up") [08:37] j3kyll: Well, just having a non-admin user will restrict them to their homedir, without being able to make any system wide changes. As for not creating files within their homedir, they need those files to do a lot of stuff (web browsing, etc). but you could write something to clean out the homedir everytime they logoff, for instance. === ce_kesepian is now known as p_mbalap [08:38] nikrud: hi, memtest done. I do not see log files. You were right. There are errors with test #5 (block moves), 200M-500M. Errors are consistent, but error address is random. What is the conclusion? I bought this RAM one year ago. It was bad or it become bad (for example because of temperature - my laptop from time to time is very hot)? [08:38] so... something like a livecd environment, but with the major things preconfigured [08:38] Flannel: how complicated would writing that script be? (im a pretty novice user) [08:38] mp3 playback, things like that [08:38] nikrud: errors which memtest shows, are they all critical? does it mean it is very risky? [08:39] Daisuke_Ido: are you asking a question, or what? [08:40] IndyGunFreak, clearing up what j3kyll is looking for [08:40] oh ok. [08:41] i c whats causing my ftp not working [08:41] j3kyll: the 'script' itself is easy: `rm -rf /home/guest/` as for getting it to run on logout, I'm not familiar enough with gnome/gdm. [08:41] can anyone help me with the boot sequence? [08:42] i activate the ftp b4 i turn on the USB drive so now my drive is /media/NTFS500GB-A_ instead of the orginal name [08:42] Flannel : well thanks for atleast letting me know what i'm up against (ill save it for a later project) ;) [08:42] hi all, what do you say: errors shown from memtest - are they critical? does it mean it is very risky? [08:43] j3kyll: It should be relatively simple, I just don't have any experience with how gnome/gdm (gdm is the login screen thing) handle users logging off. Assuming someone knows, it'd take you all of 30 seconds to implement. [08:43] mmm4m5m: depends on the intended usage of the machine and the position of the corrupted sectors- [08:44] Anyone can tell me why is gnome limited to 1024x768 when the monitor is at 1280x1024 [08:44] Like here: http://img91.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotqa6.png [08:44] BlackBishop: what card r u using. [08:44] any idea when's gcc 4.3.0 will be available on hardy? [08:44] btw i use gnome at 1280x1024 [08:45] sidis405: yeah .. well .. firefox seems to get on the whole screen [08:45] but not the app bar or xchat [08:45] ( see picture ) [08:45] Flannel: ill keep looking, someone knows :] ttyl [08:45] I'm using a ati mobility radeon 7000 with 128M ram. [08:46] blackbishop, have you tried system->preferences->screen resolution? [08:46] LiraNuna, i dont think it will ever [08:46] guh [08:46] on a 19" monitor which I know it can do 1280x1024 and it seems to do that. [08:46] hi people! [08:46] gus__, got a gamble on why? [08:46] I've heard some rumors about ubuntu not being able to compile on it === rey is now known as ce_manizz_smp [08:46] trevheg: Yeah, it says 1024x768, but why is the monitor resolution at 1280x1024 ! [08:46] LiraNuna, nah [08:47] I mean .. I'd like gnome to stay at 1280x1024 too ! [08:47] !fixres | BlackBishop, This hopefully will help, sounds like your xorg.conf doesn't have a 1280x1024 setting in it [08:47] BlackBishop, This hopefully will help, sounds like your xorg.conf doesn't have a 1280x1024 setting in it: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output.

[08:47] LiraNuna, it's just because you can not add new version of software now, a month from the release [08:47] mount [08:47] * BlackBishop checks [08:47] gus__, I see [08:47] Flannel, PM me please [08:50] Please help me, I'm beyond frustrated. I just fresh installed 7.10 today, and my video card was just fine. I added the restricted drivers for it and rebooted, now it can't detect my card and the max resolution I can get is 600x800. Please help. [08:51] Justjaden: System>Admin>Screen & Graphics [08:51] blackbishop, I agree with ubotu, if you can't find the resolution you want in preferences->screen resolution, the solution at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto helped me with my system [08:51] what are the filesystems that Ubuntu uses :? .. like windows Fat32 and NTFS [08:51] Ububegin: ext3 [08:51] blackbishop: there's a particular section : SubSection "Display" [08:52] how can I delete a user from the system? [08:52] erUSUL: is it case sensitive [08:52] and I don't know if it has anything to do with it, but when I boot up it keeps loading a text screen that says BCmu43xx Cannot register IRQ0, it does this about 3 times with a weird flashing screen inbeetween. [08:52] clicking 'delete' in the 'user settings' dialog doesn't do it - it just disables the user's account [08:52] blackbishop: and add to the line Modes the desired resolution. [08:52] restart X of course.- [08:52] should to the trick. [08:53] erUSUL: This does nothing being as the max resolution is the 800x600. [08:53] hi who made course fundamentals of linux? [08:53] It says on boot up it cannot detect my card and I must log in with reduced graphics [08:53] How do I get into a directory on my desktop named /portaudio19-19+svn20071207/debian? It says "bash: cd: /portaudio19-19+svn20070125: No such file or directory", but it's clearly there. On my GUI, it has a lock on it. Do I need to "sudo su" or something like that? [08:53] But everything was just fine when I first installed the system....what happened? [08:53] if i want to add http://e17.dunnewind.net/ubuntu/dists/gutsy/ to my sources.list what line would i put? [08:54] deb http://e17.dunnewind.net/ubuntu/dists/gutsy/? [08:54] Monona: unless you are running a custom fs structure no top dir is called portaudio---- [08:54] noe [08:55] can anyone tell me how to replace upstart with sysvinit on my computer using the live cd? [08:55] Can i say ubuntu filesystem is case sensitive [08:55] now**, what is the problem anyways? [08:55] Ububegin: safely. [08:55] Ububegin, yes, it is case sensitive, capital letters and lowercase are different [08:55] Thanks guys [08:55] i'm haveing problems setting up gutsy 7.10 to duel boot with xp [08:56] Ububegin, its not just the file system, usernames, passwords etc are case sensitive as well [08:56] Phreakin318: have you installed both os's? [08:57] Ububegin, linux/unix in general is case sensitive [08:57] yeah sidi i have [08:57] sidis405: ~/portaudio---, I guess then. I'm trying to disable a line in the makefile ~/debian/rules. [08:57] REPEATED>>> question about k3b.... there is existing data on the cd, when i made a New Data Project the files were not replaced/rewritten... why? [08:57] hmm, windows was case insensitive.... so linux is case sensitive... K,cool [08:58] Monona: ~/portaudio means /home/your_username/portaudio [08:58] Hi all. [08:58] I have 3 servers, and would like to purchase a KVM switch to switch between them. Can someone recommend me a good setup? [08:58] Phreakin318:ok, so when you boot up, which os starts up? [08:58] Phreakin318: so we pick it up from there. [08:59] sidis405: u seem to be the only K3b expert in here... (maybe?), so, can u assist? [08:59] it ask me to boot xp xp safe mode or ubuntu i boot ubuntu it comes on loading then i get a black screen after a few min [08:59] Mzalendo: not closely :) 1 min and we can talk inprivate- [09:00] Phreakin318 : hmmm. which os was installed first ? [09:00] Phreakin318: how did you install the 2nd one. [09:02] sidis405: Gotcha. That's right where it at. So, this directory, ~/portaudio19-19+svn20070125 is on my desktop. I can't get into it through my terminal, although I can get at it through GUI. When I try to save the changes I've made in the makefile "rules" in gedit, it tells me: "You do not have the permissions necessary to save the file. Please check that you typed the location correctly and try again." [09:03] Am want to syncronize my Firefox 3.0 passwords so I have the same file on my three computers. Currently am using unison and it's working quite well. Anyway, I now have a new problem. With ubuntu 8.04 firefox is now located in .mozilla/firefox and not .mozilla/firefox-3.0. This create problem with unison. How do I sync folders that do not have the same path on both sides? [09:03] from the terminal go on your desktop and do a ls -la ans check who owns the folder. [09:03] Monona: "ls -la " [09:05] sidis405: It says "root" [09:05] what's your user? [09:05] anyone help me my scanner does't detected [09:05] With unison, can I have more than two roots? [09:06] sidis405: orpheus. Everything else is owned by that. [09:07] sidis405: I'm trying to follow the instructions in this post: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mixxx/+bug/183011/comments/9 [09:08] Monona: yah it's fine but your user is not root right?

I was using sudo to get portaudio, but that's it. [09:10] when was the update released? [09:11] he updated today [09:11] i guess it's pretty recent [09:11] Monona: look, you could do 2 things [09:12] either edit the file as root, meaning sudo gedit /path to file [09:12] where can i learn about irc commands used in these channels?

[10:00] noob-africa: gunzip and chmod are 2 separate programs [10:00] sidis405: ut that isn't preventing..it might the be the setup file of NFMW [10:00] noob-africa, so u mean i can't use the function of minimize for adobe air applications?

[10:07] sidis405: no [10:08] noob-africa: hence me thinking you would need a CD-RW instead of a CD-R [10:08] murlidhar: how about AIR app development? can we do that in Ubuntu? or do i have to get on WinDOZE?

[12:19] * ofl a la bouffe [12:19] Leeuw: I get maybe +40 patches a day on average [12:19] X-Seti: you want to put a shell script into /etc/init.d/ that starts your programs [12:19] Leeuw: maybe less [12:19] DistroJockey, I go switch now, see you other side [12:20] !flash [12:20] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (for !Dapper and !Edgy, a recent version is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [12:20] Leeuw: I'd wait till it's released and do a clean install personally [12:20] Leeuw: but it is very stable [12:21] init.d looks good, i know the paths of the programs i want to start [12:22] holly hell [12:23] its there a simple option just to put startup; cd .opt/lampp/lampp start [12:23] lammp ? [12:23] i have problem with recording from builting in microphone anyone for help ? [12:24] multi webserver with sql/php/webmin [12:24] X-Seti: you mean lamp [12:24] xerophyte: what do you want to do ? [12:24] X-Seti: are you sure you want to run webmin, your box is a big target for cracking [12:24] root@UKscifi-Events:/opt/lampp# [12:24] its lampp [12:25] X-Seti: then it's not an ubuntu package, and how you configure it is nothing to do with ubuntu [12:25] i know about that, and i dont have that running all the time. [12:25] X-Seti: great. [12:26] its not an ubuntu package I know, i had to config it first, but starting with thing with command line is tiresome [12:26] DistroJockey: still downloading Sauerbraten... 3 hours plus remaining... lol [12:26] X-Seti: so what's your question [12:28] hello. I'm trying to get sound in my fresh installation of Gutsy Gibbon. I'm following this howto: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto and I'm stuck in the TroubleShooting part. Can someone help me? [12:28] I guess this isnt a question just my lack of understanding rc, however it would be better to have stuff start up with the machine, then me having to start up 8 things manauly at boot [12:28] !it [12:28] Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! [12:28] X-Seti: so write a start up script. [12:29] X-Seti: ubuntu packages normally come with a startup script, but as you've not used ubuntu packages you'll have to write your own [12:29] is there a template or syntex this has to be in? [12:29] there isn't a template [12:30] !sound | southafrikanse [12:30] 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). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [12:30] the syntax is up to you, there is a functions include that that the ubuntu scripts use, you can include that in your script if you work out the syntax [12:30] so, help me out here, i have something in opt/lampp/ [12:30] its started by ./lampp start [12:31] X-Seti: so either look at what the start commands are and put them in a well formateed init script, or write an init script that calls it [12:31] now, i cant think just by added a script that says something like that could be that simple === elkbuntu_ is now known as elkbuntu [12:31] X-Seti: adding that script won't work (probably) as it will have paths/varibles that may be locked into that directory, calling it from an init script would be ok [12:31] noob-africa: hehe [12:32] so, I think I figured out what might be my problem when trying to play ogg files, everything is looking for my codecs in the wrong place, but how do I fix this? [12:33] ok, im looking at no-ips script and i think i know what to do.. im using this as a template. [12:34] X-Seti: easiest thing to do would be to put /opt/lampp/lampp start in /etc/rc.local [12:34] cpk1: thats a good call [12:34] :) [12:34] cpk1: use vlc it has everything [12:35] ok ive made a script in the format, example, rebooting the machine, lets see what happens [12:35] Scooma: perhaps I would rather use amarok to play my audio files since it does a much better job? [12:35] hey all ... installed moinmoin and it required pyXML to do the docbook thing but cant find a package for it?? any ideas [12:35] cpk1: heh [12:36] how do I let desktop icons appear on the left side of the screen by default? :) [12:37] wers: that IS default :) [12:37] hehehe, its in funny [12:37] oops.

I'm stuck with Feisty.... [12:48] X-Seti: I guess if you wanted to be neat and tidy you would put the /opt/lampp/lampp script in rc2.d I think, that way you can call it with invoke-rc.d [12:48] ive worked on other systems where is been so different again, but on ubuntu you seem to have 100's of startup scripts [12:48] !anyone | ricanelite [12:48] ricanelite: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."

[12:49] hi all [12:49] Helo Bob [12:49] its keep to init, i can put it all in one place, the way i look it [12:49] X-Seti, ubuntu as most of unixes/linuxes has a script for each service [12:49] look, like [12:50] ok .. I still don't get it .. [12:50] that to me is annoying [12:50] X-Seti: it shouldnt be too hard to have the script be able to run from a different directory, just use absolute paths for everything [12:50] I followed all the manuals on the web .. [12:50] X starts at 1280x1024 ... gdm doesn't ! [12:50] well thats one less problem of my little list [12:50] but I can make some programs ( like firefox ) to use all the screen ... but not the terminal for instance. [12:50] can anyone help me with google-earth -. i go here http://earth.google.com/download-earth.html, click "agree and download" and nothing happens , should i enable anything in the browser? [12:50] X-Seti: the problem with mashing everything into rc.local is you cant just call one script with invoke-rc.d if its in rc.local [12:50] I need a good C compiler for ubuntu, what's the best, it's needed to ./configure an IRCd? [12:51] gcc? [12:51] Erosion: gcc just *might* be a good place to start [12:51] Erosion, sudo apt-get install build-essential [12:51] Erosion, install build-essential [12:51] well having everything local is fine, there is only me on here. [12:51] that will install the base development tools, which includes GCC [12:51] I just installed Virtualbox on my Desktop machine which runs slow, which i understand but what is the suggested Base Memory and Video Memory I should be in?

[12:54] ricanelite: personally, I'd go with vmware server [12:54] Lamego: Thanks, did that but it won't start X. [12:54] X-Seti: the local doesnt actually mean that. here's an example, you have 4 scripts you need run at boot x y z t and decide to put all them into rc.local now lets say you want to restart y, you would have to call invoke-rc.d rc.local restart which would then cause x z and t to also restart [12:54] Hi everyon! I'm experiencing very laggy ssh sessions.. what could be the cause? [12:54] Lamego: Is there another way? [12:54] ricanelite: it's free and for memory it makes a file instead of actually using your system memory, so if you want 800 MB ram, make sure you have 800 MB free on your hd [12:54] itai-michaelson, I'm not sure what the package name is, but if you add the medibuntu repo's and search for google, that should find it so you can add via synaptic [12:55] I understand :) [12:55] hi [12:55] I need some help [12:56] some1 here?

[12:59] *do you [12:59] Erosion, you don't have to, but you should [12:59] dgjones, the reason i ask ,is because i have upgraded from feisty and when i try to add medibuntu in synaptic it gives me the feisty address, while it should be a gutsy repo. anyone i found it in the link you provided so thanks. [13:00] Lamego: OK. sudo apt-get install build-essential is asking me for the gutsy CD rom? [13:00] z999, there are such CDs, but they are not linux, off topic [13:00] Why?

[13:21] pirate_Hunter, again, minimal means no windows manager, a minimal cd can be used for any flavor [13:21] pirate_Hunter so when I install Ubuntu 8.04 should I let it install GRUB again or not? [13:21] I'm trying to fix this since yesterday .. [13:22] negge, it will not hurt you, yes, install it [13:22] BBishop, it's ok, ty :) [13:22] Lamego okay thanks [13:22] well .. it's not ok .. I don't get why gdm is acting like this [13:22] Hey all. I have a residual software that I can't get rid of on my hard drive. can anyone help me get this removed? [13:22] I'll maybe try Debian too, couldn't get it installed in VMWare but installing natively usually works [13:22] I hope [13:22] Lamego: ok [13:22] hi all [13:22] if I move a window outside the 1024x768 area .. and maximize it .. it gets on full screen .. [13:23] oops. It is a residual raid md0 [13:23] but not if it stays in the 1024x768 area ! [13:23] Hi all... I would show gnome-menu clicking the right button of mouse, is it possibile ? [13:23] is there any native english speakers around? [13:23] shovi I'm a decent speaker [13:23] does "coming up in autumn" sound better than "coming up autumn" or "coming up in the autumn"? [13:23] or something else [13:23] my english is little bit rusty [13:24] shovi "coming up this autumn" sounds best to me [13:24] shovi: depends on the context :) [13:24] okay, thank you negge [13:24] would you prefer fall or autumn? [13:24] but like DistroJockey said it depends on the context [13:24] shovi, #linguistics is a good place to discuss that [13:24] Gutsy uses Pidgin as the default IRC client. Pidgin uses gtkspell, which uses the LANG environment language and does not allow changing the language at run-time. There is a "switchspell" plugin for Pidgin, but I can't find it in any Ubuntu Pidgin related packages. Compiling it from source looks difficult. So the short question: HOW DO I TELL Pidgin that this not all my conversation are English? [13:24] What's the default root password for ubuntu server? [13:25] pidgin is awesome :) [13:25] Invisionfree there's no default root password [13:25] Invisionfree: there is no default root password [13:25] IdleOne: yeah, but this was the first place I thought about :) [13:25] Invisionfree, there is no root [13:25] !rootsudo | Invisionfree [13:25] Invisionfree: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. [13:25] hahaha [13:25] redbrain, is that irony? [13:25] sounds like the matrix... there is no rootpass haha [13:25] There is no root user? [13:25] Hi, is there a way I can quickly locate all .torrent files on a server through ssh? [13:25] hi. how can I change the screen resolution to 1440x900 without root access? [13:25] Greyhound_, find / -name "*.torrent" [13:25] :) [13:25] Invisionfree, there is a root user but the password is locked. use sudo [13:25] Invisionfree one should use sudo for all adminstrative tasks instead [13:26] smartface: Greyhound_, find / -name "*.torrent" [13:26] can anyone guide me on getting rid of a raid 1 partition on my hd [13:26] sorry Lamego ;) [13:26] thanks :) [13:26] Invisionfree: sudo -i in terminal if you really need to [13:26] ops :P [13:26] talking about root just tested dsl on vbox it asks for root but you dont need to input pasword, im left thinking, huh? [13:26] Invisionfree the root account is only used in recovery mode (normally) [13:26] S1.LT.RO:2534. [13:26] I think you mistabbed [13:26] DistroJockey: Thanks. [13:26] Invisionfree: np, yw [13:30] Errore: DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildExited: Launch helper exited with unknown return code 127 ????????????? [13:32] DSL has only the root account i thought. [13:32] What kind of font configurations do you suggest for 1280x800 LCD screen? [13:33] Are there any differences besides desktop environments between Ubuntu and Kubuntu? [13:33] ok, alot of worked and im very happy [13:33] so .. any idea at http://img98.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotxi2.png ( desktop ) and http://rafb.net/p/peR5dG66.html (xorg.conf) ... I just don't get it ! X is at 1280x1024 but gdm isn't .. [13:34] however there is one thing, that not yet being run by rc.local [13:34] hazard, 1 runs gnome .. the other runs kde ... [13:34] cpk1, j [13:34] BBishop, That's why I asked "besides desktop environments." [13:34] didn't find any other [13:34] oppps, how do you start binaries, like say xpenguins with the system [13:35] BBishop, I was just curious if they're maintained by different groups, and thus might have differences in software choices as well. Say one using dhcpcd and the other dhclient, or any oddities like that. [13:35] more to the point, i have a folder called home/k/e-uae/ [13:35] um dhcpd is the server, dhcpclient is the cilent [13:35] will find out after I fix my gdm problem ... [13:35] he he [13:35] cpk1, in there is e-uae86k [13:35] doppelgaenger, No, what I said was accurate. You mistook both names. [13:36] you start this by doing ./e-uae86k [13:36] dir [13:36] whats the best setting in dvd::rip in the tab "clip & zoom"? [13:36] cpk1, ive added this to rc.local /home/k/e-uae/e-uae86k [13:36] thats not going to work is it? [13:37] so .. why oh why the heck is gdm only running 1024x768 [13:37] BBishop, your lucky, im stuck with 800x600 [13:38] ? [13:38] is x.conf perhaps configured for a higher res than the driver can do? [13:39] HI EVERYONE! I'm having some ssh problems. -vvv shows it has connected and it has loaded the identity file, but it hangs after that. what could be wrong? [13:39] I don't see the luck in having 1280x1024 and gdm at a lower resolution .. it's more anoying than having a lower resolution [13:40] BBishop, Did you already paste your x.conf somewhere?

[14:08] how can i do this: [client_machine (winxp)] -->[OpenSSH server (freeBSD)] -->[internal network 192.168.10.0] [14:09] he goal is connect for instance with putty and map remote ports to localports in winxp client machine ( till here all is good an fairly easy) the problem is, i nee that openssh server box acts like a "port mirror" and forwards the the port which i'm connected to a specific host on internal network, such as the 192.168.10.4 machine [14:09] any ideas? [14:09] how to copy the vfat files to desktop from usb [14:09] byte_slave: how is this anything to do with ubuntu ? [14:10] raju: I thought we'd discussed this, it looks like you have an i/o problem or your usb drive [14:10] sorry [14:10] raju: what files do you mean exactly; could you specify please? [14:10] i mentioned freeBSD but imagine is a ubuntu server machine with openssh [14:10] is the smae [14:10] *is the same [14:10] byte_slave: no - your using freebsd, and it's not the same [14:10] Hi. I'm using ubuntu 7.10, fresh updated with gnome desktop. I cannot disable F10 shortcut key(displays right click menu - application relevant). I've searched for this in accesibility options, keyboard shortcuts, and nothing to find. [14:10] ikonia, you are correct , we discussed [14:11] ikonia, ok, i'll try freebsd channel. [14:11] byte_slave: Try asking in ##freebsd, ##linux or ##networkign [14:11] bazhang, the usb is formatted in vfat that is mounting but not able to copy it desktop [14:11] prodigel: you wish to map it to something else? [14:12] byte_slave: look into ssh port forwarding [14:12] raju: the i/o errors you get during the copy suggest for some reason at %50 of the copy the data can't be read (hardware/driver error maybe) [14:12] bazhang: no. Just to disable it. It conflicts with the F10 shortcut from another app I use [14:12] gre0, so port forwarding is the key? thanks i'll google it [14:12] ikonia, if it is hardware problem ., how it is mounting [14:12] can any one help me in changing mac address since i have dual boot [14:13] raju: you can mount a damaged file system [14:13] siraj: why do you want to change the mac address ? [14:13] byte_slave: ssh port forwarding specifically [14:13] siraj: having dual boot has nothing to do with changing mac adress afaics [14:14] erUSUL: I think we know thats not the reason...... [14:14] ikonia, the mounted files i checked , i am not able to read the file name [14:14] what kind of permission allows me to modify any file in a directory, but not add files to a directory? [14:14] my internet cable gives different address it has already taken into memory from xp and when i boot ubuntu it gives different address and i cant log onto internet [14:14] raju: as I explained to you early [14:14] especially on a windows share? [14:14] siraj: your isp doesn't dish out mac addresses [14:14] ikonia, it may be a problem by hardware [14:14] siraj: your mac address shouldn't change between windows and ubuntu [14:14] raju: as I told you........ [14:14] can it be like the directory is protected but the files in the directory aren't? I'm lost... [14:14] I'm trying to give a user FTP access via proftpd such that they are locked into a certain directory on my box and can write and delete files as well as create new directories. How can I do this?

Using a browser I can download at my normal high speeds. I think something must have been changed somewhere but I don't know how or where to look. Any ideas? [14:16] ikonia: can you elaborate? Or give me a link explaining chroot? [14:16] thank you all , bye [14:16] http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/07/16/disabling-the-f10-key-menu-accelerators-in-gnome-terminal/ prodigel have you seen this?

Probably I'm at bug section of that article [14:18] prodigel: ah I see sorry [14:18] hey macd! can i ask u something about dvd::rip?

[14:54] the free space partition is now saying unusable [14:54] and the other one is called swap [14:55] the unusable one contains 6637 megabytes [14:55] adantan_alex: Change the unusable parition to type ext3 and set the mount point of it to .

[15:16] Vixen_: 7.10 has longer support left [15:16] !en [15:16] The #ubuntu, #kubuntu and #xubuntu channels are english only. For a complete list of channels in other languages, please visit http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat [15:16] and what is compiz? [15:16] belkinhelp2: what video card do you have [15:16] Vixen: What hardware are you running it on? [15:16] wow gutsy is no longer supported? ;] [15:16] Hi all, a lot of applications crash with this error: undefined symbol: dbus_watch_get_unix_fd [15:16] someone can help me ? [15:17] ikonia: Radeon 7500 [15:17] Vixen_: It's my humble opinion that if 6.10 does everything you want/need and you are current on updates and you don't need the latest whiz-bang technology and features, then you're fine where you are. But most people won't tell you that because most people want the latest and greatest at all times. [15:17] Kleedrac_: I'm running on a fairly up to date rig [15:17] belkinhelp2: ahhh ati, in that case I can't really comment ont he drives as I don't use ati and they are known issues [15:17] how can i make a hidden folder show? [15:18] Vixen_: try the livecd and decide for yourself; if there is something newer you like then go for it; if not stay where you are [15:18] cannonball: very sound/sage advice [15:18] Vixen: I agree with cannonball with the exception that if you have newer hardware which seems unsupported by 6.10 you may wish to upgrade to something newer [15:18] nkk: how is it hidden ? [15:18] by default? [15:18] nkk, Press ctrl-H on Nautilus [15:18] ikonia: are you saying this is a driver issue and not a flash/firefox issue? [15:18] Vixen: If 6.10 supports all your hardware and you're happy with it then enjoy ^^ [15:18] that worked! thanx [15:18] cannonball: My thoughts too, I was just asking in case there was any real reason. I tried a live CD of 7.10 which had some massive error on my machine. 6.10 is fine, however, and considering this is my first linux install, and I've no clue how to do anything.. [15:18] before i went to 7.10 everything was working [15:18] I was just checking really =] [15:19] belkinhelp2: no, I'm saying that I don't use the ati drivers so don't know how they effect things as they have known issues. [15:19] whats the package name for kde? [15:19] oh [15:19] Kleedrac_: Aight, just as long as there's nothing major I'm missing =] [15:19] kubuntu-desktop JohnnyHempseed [15:19] so I'm special? [15:19] belkinhelp2: yes, 7.10 has updates in [15:19] lol [15:19] Vixen: Nothing beyond built-in prettiness with Compiz etc ... nothing functional ... more aesthetic [15:19] Vixen_: well there is things your missing, such as compiz as an easy example, but thats up to you if you want it or not [15:20] Vixen_: Chances are that errors on newer kernels are acpi related, at which point a simple noacpi fixes much of the issues. [15:20] Kleedrac_: there is more than just compiz, but thats an easy exmaple. [15:20] bazhqng i have a new sistem linux installation now!!! and it ask me to upgrade comliz but I've spooky to upgrade spoky now!!!!! [15:20] ok so with Feisty Fawn i did not have this issue, now with Gutsy Gibbon I do. Im assuming it has to do with the update [15:20] ikonia: Agreed but there's really nothing functional if 6.10 supports all his hardware ... more aesthetics [15:20] cannonball: I'm afraid I've no idea about any of that [15:21] how do i reload all ALSA sound modules? [15:21] hola a todos [15:21] greetz all. when i want to start my wine in the console, it tells me "bash: /usr/local/bin/wine: No such file or directory". when i write which wine, i get "/usr/bin/wine" what do i have to do that wine will start if i only write WINE in my console? [15:21] !es | profesor_ [15:21] profesor_: Aquí solamente hablamos inglés. Para Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es - allí obtendrá más ayuda. [15:21] Vixen_: And I will testify how ubercool compiz is. We had a really wide range of distros here in the office (Fedora, Mandriva, Gentoo, Ubuntu, Debian), now nearly everybody uses Ubuntu with compiz and multiple monitors. None of us want to go back. [15:21] I wanna mount a RAMdisk, how can I ? [15:21] Only two holdouts left, the Debian guy and the Fedora guy. [15:21] bazhang it says it couldnt find the package kubuntu-desktop [15:21] getting a tad offtopic ;] [15:22] Heh, classic ;] [15:22] cannonball: Ah yes you have a point, Vixen: if you wish to use multiple monitors then 8.04 would be worth a shot as it's easy as pie ^^ [15:22] JohnnyHempseed: you want to switch to kubuntu? or kde4? [15:22] !de|bash [15:22] bash: Deutschsprachige Hilfe fuer Probleme mit Ubuntu, Kubuntu und Edubuntu finden Sie in den Kanaelen #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #xubuntu-de und #edubuntu-de [15:22] I've only one moniter, and no real idea about anything linux [15:22] how do i reload all ALSA sound modules? [15:22] i want to put kde4 on there [15:22] Vixen: What do you wish to do? [15:22] using ubuntu 64 bit [15:23] Vixen_: Then you are on the way to enlightenment. Just keep digging into things and keep learning. BAM! Englightenment... [15:23] #kubuntu-kde4 would be the channel for you JohnnyHempseed [15:23] ok...so what is the solution to flash/firefox video playback issue? [15:23] go back to 6.10 and cross my fingers? [15:23] how do I mount a RAM disk? [15:23] bazhang thank you [15:23] Kleedrac_: Well, I've been trying since october to get some form linux on my machine, not I've managed and I'm currently trying to find out how to install GTK [15:24] Vixen: If you're running gnome you've got gtk ;) [15:24] cannonball: If I've got to dig through code to find enlightenment, I'm buggered [15:24] Kleedrac_: Uuuh.. In that case, I'm absolutely crap at following simple instructions =/ [15:24] Vixen: Well did you install Ubuntu or KUbuntu or SomeOtherBuntu [15:25] Kleedrac_: I was trying to install Xchat, which needed a load of unpacking and compiling, but I kinda.. couldn't do it [15:25] hi. i use wine to run mirc 6.31. its very buggy. gui shuts down on fast clicks. not good graphics. but i met someone whos uses it and its fine for him. what can be wrong? [15:25] hi all, is there a unstable branch like the debian one for configuring in the sources.list ? [15:25] Kleedrac_: Ubuntu 6.10 [15:25] Vixen: Either use Synaptic or open a console and type sudo apt-get install xchat [15:25] how do i add a program to a start up list. [15:25] Vixen_: sudo apt-get install xchat no compiling needed [15:25] StereoSkit: umm no there is the beta branch but you need to run the beta version of Ubuntu [15:25] Oh [15:25] Just that command? [15:25] deb http://pe.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ unstable main multiverse <-- can it be done like that ? [15:26] Vixen: You'll quickly find that one of the biggest advantages to Ubuntu from other distros is that installing software is ridiculously easy [15:26] kitche: what!!! [15:26] StereoSkit: you may be thinking of backports [15:26] StereoSkit: as I said no [15:26] Kleedrac_, bazhang, thanks [15:26] weird [15:26] I'm sure I'll get it one day [15:26] Vixen: No problem ... welcome to a real OS ;) [15:26] And now I'm off to work :P [15:26] Kleedrac_: Ahah, I've been trying to get onto linux for ages xD [15:26] Have fun with that work ;] [15:26] While I just sit here [15:27] Vixen_: One of the things provided to you by a distribution is packages of applications. Rather than you having to compile and install apps, you just install the package. You can use package maanger applications to help you take care of the hard stuff. Follow the guys' advice on using symaptic or aptitude (fromt he commandline) and you'll be installing all kinds of things you didn't know were available to you. :-) [15:27] Vixen_: And in case it's not clear, "packages" are "precompiled source code packages" that you were trying to build yourself. [15:27] cannonball: Oh nice, I'll be looking for that. [15:27] Oh [15:27] I understand now [15:27] how do i make a program start up when ubuntu reboots. a start up list of sorts [15:28] Right, two secs, while I whizz that code you gave me through [15:28] what is the command to see what version of flash i have installed? [15:28] jaffarkelshac: there is one way to start programs when you log in.. there is another way to start stuff on boot up [15:28] Vixen_: And I'm not trying to dissuade you from compiling your own apps, it is a great learning experience, but know for now that you (in almost all cases) probably don't need that capbility right now. [15:28] is it possible to have different wallpapers per workspace?????????? [15:29] jaffarkelshac: try system, preferences, session to set stuff up to start on login [15:29] belkinhelp2: perhaps apt-cache policy flashplugin-nonfree [15:29] xphisherx: not in an easy way, no [15:29] <|Dede|> How can I make my Desktop icons smaller? [15:29] Slart, i will try that [15:29] i read somewhere in kde it's possible.. any gnome possibility? [15:30] How do I check the boot log? The system doesn't start unless I use recovery mode.

[16:05] !mscorefonts [16:05] Sorry, I don't know anything about mscorefonts - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [16:05] Vixen_, so you have not mounted any of your drives yet? [16:05] Mudassar: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing [16:05] amenado: thats what firestart will do, provide connection forwarding or "sharing" [16:05] erUSUL: genius [16:05] Hello? [16:05] jPratt: hi [16:05] Mudassar-> and the best way to share the wifi is for you to have an AP..so it can take care of ip address allocation to users [16:05] jPratt: we can see you fine [16:06] Is there any good programs to run benchmarks on my machine? eg Video Test, Ram Test, CPU etc [16:06] !fonts | Michiny [16:06] Michiny: 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 [16:06] Ok well I need help as i have been asking for almost 5 minutes it is very important, or at least to me [16:06] ikonia he needs first some kind of AP or his wifi drivers has to support adhoc and he has to know how to share the wifi connectivity with multiple wifi clients [16:06] jaffarkelshac: Uh, got to be honest, I'm not even entirely sure what that is. I'm running ubuntu on an external HD, and I made a windows backup partition on the same dick. After putting all my backup files on the windows partition, I booted ubuntu, and found that I could access the files in both OS [16:06] One it wolnt let me access my External and two it doesnt see my wireless [16:06] i will come later on [16:07] jPratt: wow - a whole 5 minutes !

[16:14] bazhang : doesnt the new nvidia glx drivers have a control panel ? liek the one you get with the official driver ? [16:14] anyone useing mirc with wine??? [16:15] Michiny: join #winehq for wine specific support [16:15] Michiny: only you apparently [16:15] I have a PC running Ubuntu on an IDE drive. I want to take that drive, stick it in an external USB case, plug it into a laptop and boot off it. Is there anything I need to do other than set the BIOS on the laptop? [16:15] l0tU5: afaik only id games are native to linux (may exist others) [16:15] Were do you get wine [16:15] !games | l0tU5 [16:15] l0tU5: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php [16:15] maybe I reinstall the flash plugin or install the non adobe one [16:15] briareos90: likely wont help with that though--zsnes has bad sound on mac and windows for me as well [16:15] Reliant: your grub settings will change, and if your disks are not identified by uuid your fstab will be borked too [16:16] bazhang : aw :( [16:16] fstab is using UUID [16:16] erUSUL: Using an emulator... [16:16] PredaGR: did you install using the ubuntu package "flashplugin-nonfree" [16:16] bazhang : ubuntu makin me an rpg addict :p [16:16] Reliant: so only really grub should lchange [16:16] fiesty to gutsy upgrade, what will it break on feisty, or is it smooth sailing? [16:16] does the grub changes happen after I move the drive, or do I need to change something first? [16:16] BJB007 should work [16:16] BJB007: try the live cd first [16:16] Reliant: your hd(1,0) style parameter sill change, it's a pain booting from usb [16:17] bazhang: what would live cd prove? [16:17] BJB007: i upgraded from fiesty without much problem .. but i usually prefer a fresh install [16:17] ikonia: thats the one installed, done automagically by firefox and apt [16:17] BJB007: your wireless and other items; feisty was a no-go for me and gutsy has been great [16:17] PredaGR: so that should be fine [16:18] bye [16:18] cya [16:18] l0tU5: try wine and check appdb.winehq.org for compability info [16:18] I'm unfamiliar with how grub works. Is there a page I can go to read about setting up Grub for USB booting? [16:18] bazhang: fiesty is installed an working preloaded on dell laptop. i have heard of things breaking when you upgrade. [16:18] e [16:19] Reliant-> try this? http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2007/09/28/usb-ubuntu-710-gutsy-gibbon-install/ [16:19] BJB007: thus the advice to see if the livecd catches your wireless etc [16:19] erUSUL: I've got like 3 emulators and VMware... I just need names of games that are very popular lately [16:19] games for emulators ? [16:19] how can i get an older version of wine? [16:20] l0tU5-> soduku [16:20] Michiny you don't, the ones in the repo's are what you should use [16:20] bazhang: ok, does it stomp on anything you have installed? I had to do special stuff to get Moneydance to print, had to install blackdown java [16:20] does someone has work with smstools? [16:20] ikonia newwer versio i gues is not good with mirc [16:20] Michiny: why do you guess that ? [16:20] ikonia: ohh well just asked before I tinker with it, if I break it more then I come for more questions I think [16:20] Michiny: have you gone to #winehq channel and asked the wine specialist support channel as I suggested ? [16:20] l0tu5 > for emulators try : chrono cross, tales of phantasia, zelda [16:20] ikonia: thanks alot [16:20] how do i disable desktop drawing in nautilus [16:21] BJB007: never used either of those; gutsy has been good for me (but works for me is not solid advice) [16:21] Hello , does it possible to create new user with root privileges from the recovery mode ? [16:21] Acxty-> maybe you'd get better know how support from java people in #java ? [16:21] PredaGR: sounds goo, but I don't think you should be seeing that much cpu us on idle [16:21] it gives details on how to make a new install, but nothing about how to change grub, or what would need to change for an existing install [16:21] Reliant: you'll just need to change the disk that grub looks on for stage1/2 files, but you can only do that once you move the disk so you know it's new id [16:21] Kate_mins-> recovery mode is single user..not multiple user log on [16:21] Kate_mins, yes it is, you just need to add the user to the admin group, usermod -g admin user [16:21] Michiny: http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/archive/index.html [16:21] ahh [16:22] ehem or gpasswd -a foo admin [16:22] amenado I though it was written in C hehe ;) [16:22] how do i disable desktop drawing in nautilus [16:22] Kate_mins-> and yes you can create additional users while in single user mode [16:22] any one know of a good alternativ to hamachi? i can't install it :/ [16:22] Lan Games? [16:22] or edit /etc/group or .... he he [16:22] amenado: i forget my ubuntu password , i try to do the steps in the guide by adding rw init=/bin/bash.... but its still not working ? how i can reset my password ? or create new admin user? [16:22] i forget my ubuntu password , i try to do the steps in the guide by adding rw init=/bin/bash.... but its still not working ? how i can reset my password ? or create new admin user? [16:23] Kate_mins you can only do the steps you have been told to do [16:23] Kate_mins, just boot into rescue mode and change your password with passwd [16:23] Kate_mins: boot in recovery mode and run "passwd" [16:23] passwd your_user [16:23] i run a dhcp server and i want my hostname to be coupled with my ip address each time. how would i do this? [16:24] setup a linux bridge, traffic is so damn slow [16:24] erUSUL: i have another problem on my server, when i boot in recovery mode i get black screen? (the recovery working without the screen) [16:25] Kate_mins: are u getting a prompt ? [16:25] i run a dhcp server and i want my hostname to be coupled with my ip address each time. how would i do this? [16:25] Kate_mins: o_O maybe tweaking the vga=xxxx parameter on the grub entry ? it seems a frambuffer resolution isuue [16:25] legend2440 thanks [16:26] Kate_mins-> something like vga=normal perhaps ? [16:27] Kate_mins: yes try amenado suggestion... [16:28] Hey all. How do I take a full desktop installation back to a basic server install? [16:28] Kate_mins: when in grub menu hit "e" to edit the entry you highlight then on "kernel ..." line add vga=normal at the en and hit "b" to boot the modified entry [16:28] Creeture, sudo apt-get purge ubuntu-desktop [16:28] Exteris: Thanks. [16:29] Creeture, sorry sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop [16:29] Exteris: apt-get does not have purge (aptitude does) [16:29] Creeture: sudo apt-get remove --purge --auto-remove ubuntu-desktop -y [16:29] that will not remove the desktop packages [16:29] hey... [16:29] Hey: If I install the eggdrop package, where are the configuration files and stuff? [16:29] Invisionfree: type whereis eggdrop in a terminal [16:30] Hi... I've ran "sudo chown -R root:vboxusers /proc/bus/usb" to fix USB bluetooth in Virtualbox (Gusty). Is there a better way to do this? Possibly something to do with "mount –rbind /dev/bus/usb /proc/bus/usb" in mountdevsubfs.sh? [16:30] Invisionfree, i would expect configs to be in /etc somewhere [16:30] Invisionfree, or ~/ if they are user-specific configs [16:31] Invisionfree, dpkg -L package to see which files were installed [16:31] chazco-> am not even sure it is a good idea to directly modify /proc/bus/usb, isnt that the domain of the kernel to write on the directory? [16:31] hey guys, is it possible to have a countdown timer in the terminal? [16:31] how do i sighn in with my other nick? [16:32] amenado - No idea... it just made it work. I think that bit isnt used at all by default in Gusty, so hopefully wont break anything [16:33] Lamego: I did that, I see no conf files .. [16:33] chazco-> i hope so too, that it does not break anything..but you tried anyways...status? [16:33] amenado - It worked, made bluetooth run... Just wondering if its the wrong way... [16:33] bod_, can't see anything in the repos, but it would be trivial to code [16:33] Invisionfree, that is very odd, eggdrop should package some example conf files [16:33] (probably a bit late for that, but still) [16:34] check man eggdrop [16:34] DRebellion, could you tell me where i could find such trivial how-to's [16:35] chazco-> it doesnt look like it, if they had put a script in init.d, most likely admins has access to modify it.. [16:35] bod_, python? c? [16:35] DRebellion, python [16:35] May undo the change, see if it keeps working... [16:36] anyone know how to uninstall freenet?? [16:36] bod_: there is package called timer-applet in synaptic [16:36] Lamego: I still see nothing, should I compile from souce? [16:36] chazco-> what does --rbind option do on mount? i have used -bind to move a partition to another mount point, but not --rbind [16:36] Invisionfree, no, the package should include everything you need, just read the documentation [16:36] legend2440, how would i go about gettin the source code for it? [16:37] amenado - Not sure. It was inside the init script already, but commented out saying they used something else by default now [16:37] bod_, apt-get source timer-applet [16:37] Lamego: I did, still no conf. [16:37] hello. Is there an .asp server for ubuntu? [16:37] DRebellion, ok 1 sec [16:37] chazco am reading that script now too.. [16:37] Ok [16:37] bod_, will download the source to the current directory [16:37] rhineheart_m-> equivalent maybe is jsp? java server pages? [16:37] anyone know how to uninstall freenet? [16:37] I need VirtualBox to work, but naturally dont want to have that at the expensive of stability of Ubuntu etc [16:38] rhineheart_m: Perhaps ask in #ubuntu-server [16:38] rhineheart_m-> so tomcat and jetty are good, so as the oracle's webapp or jboss [16:38] hey. I have a intel cure duo 8400 processor. Can anybody advise wether I should get the 64bit ubuntu or the 32bit one? [16:38] Lamego: It doesn't have a conf file ANYWHERE .. [16:39] sliht problem with it DRebellion -- http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61933/ [16:39] amenado, rbind = recursive bind, will bind submounts [16:39] Can someone just check if /proc/bus/usb exists on an unmodified Gusty, and if there is anything inside it? [16:39] which is better.. Apache Harmony or the apache2? [16:40] bod_, 1) don't need to run it as root 2) have you installed dpkg-dev? [16:40] rhineheart_m: different things afaics [16:40] Lamego-> curious as to the difference with the option -bind only? [16:40] what's the channel for hardy heron support? [16:40] DRebellion, 1) ok cheers, 2) should i have done? [16:40] Lamego: Found it, the package was eggdrop-data [16:40] w0nder: #ubuntu+1 [16:40] bod_, if its not then install it [16:40] does anyone havea webcam working under ubuntu? [16:41] chazco-> mine is empty for /prob/bus/usb [16:41] DRebellion, what is the dev file its depackaging? [16:41] amenado, bind will not make submounts available like /mount_point/whatever [16:41] chazco: mine too but i use a custom kernel ;P [16:41] Lamego okay thanks.. [16:41] ljmeijer: Core Duo = 32 bit Core 2 Duo = 64 bit [16:42] genii, Core Duos does also support 64 bits [16:42] Ah, thanks amenado and erUSUL - That would suggest its not used by default, and presumably, changing its ownership wont cause any major damage [16:42] does somebody speak dutch? [16:42] bod_, ? [16:42] bod_: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=127778&package_id=139889&release_id=504361 [16:43] Is it possible to move files with exceptions using "mv" ? [16:43] Marchewa, exceptions ? [16:43] ah, cheers legend2440 ,.,. thanks DRebellion [16:43] I mean without some files [16:43] or directories [16:43] genii: thanks. [16:44] Marchewa, man mv, I don't think so [16:44] now I have to mv * and use mv another time to move back some files [16:45] question, my laptop have a dual core but should i install 64 bit then? Is the 64 bit version troubling ? === lmr__ is now known as lmr[lunch] [16:46] is there a howto to installing a new disk on server? [16:47] espenxmd - Same situation here... i was told that the 64 version currently has more disadvantages than advantages in most cases... [16:47] anyone can give insights on using the one-time password system (opie?) how difficult is it to manage or administrate? [16:47] is there a way to do copy-paste between a terminal server client RDP session and the local machine? [16:47] espenxmd: The question for 32 vs 64 for me is always RAM. Do you have RAM >= 4GB? [16:48] HorzA_: power down, plug it in, format it (parted, or other methods), then stick it in your fstab [16:49] Flannel, i need to find it and format it and stuff first [16:49] creeture. no dont have 4 gb ram ... [16:50] espenxmd: also do you hate youtube? [16:50] HorzA_: How many disks do you have right now? [16:50] fuck not even most stationary computers have that [16:50] !language | espenxmd [16:50] espenxmd: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [16:50] Flannel, 3 now, i cant remember what i did when i was installing the 2 one [16:51] HorzA_: If you have three, they're sda, sdb, and sdc, so the new one will be sdd [16:51] HorzA_: this assumes you're not using dapper [16:52] Hi! When lanching windows programs wine i get a "FileSystemTOC: Filename truncated" It's really annoying 'cause I can't launch windows programs. It only happens with one game. [16:53] Hi. What happens if I, for example, resize my swap space, which is part of the same extended partition my linux is mounted on? [16:53] amenado: this is what you refer to-- http://www.heise-online.co.uk/security/One-time-passwords-for-home-users--/features/88570 ? [16:54] lgc: Ubuntu will malfunction. Not sure [16:54] ok i want to change my getty resolution so the text isnt so big. i followed the instructions here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=258484&highlight=kernel+booting+parameters [16:54] bazhang possibly, am interested on how sysadmin insights to it, like if it is a big headache to manage, track users or what not, key distributions difficult? [16:54] lgc: I think it's written somewhere how big it is so if you make it smaller it will malfunction because it tries to write more to swap than it's allowed [16:55] Those were just guesses [16:55] Hi! When lanching windows programs wine i get a "FileSystemTOC: Filename truncated" It's really annoying 'cause I can't launch windows programs. It only happens with one game. [16:55] lartza_, I mean I want to shrink it. [16:55] lgc: I think Ubuntu might malfunction [16:56] lgc: Not sure, you should get answer from someone other [16:56] lartza_, thanks. By the way, Wine in Ubuntu is broken, so you have to do some extra work to get it going. [16:57] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=197350 amenado well likely depends on your skills--this is a brief how to [16:57] nalioth, you there? [16:57] lgc: You mean the pkg from wine rep is broken or every wine no matter ow to use it is broken? [16:57] lgc: You can resize your swap parition with no penalty. [16:57] lgc: It needs to be unmounted before you do so, of course. [16:58] Pici: Even smaller? :O Does it automatically notice the new size? [16:58] lartza_: Yes. [16:58] amenado: reportedly easy to setup in Suse; so ubuntu must be easier ;] [16:58] is there any support for radeon 9250 for gusty, I have read that ati driver does not support it any more [16:58] lgc: But you can't shrink it too small [16:58] Is there another driver? [16:59] Hi! When lanching windows programs wine i get a "FileSystemTOC: Filename truncated" It's really annoying 'cause I can't launch windows programs. It only happens with one game. Also I don't get sound in any game. [16:59] lartza_: Actually, its possible to completely disable swap, but not reccomended unless you have a reason to. [16:59] Hi my ubuntu won't sart [16:59] But it works in safy mode [16:59] Darkus: What errors? [17:00] Darkus: First install?

[17:00] lartza_, you're better off removing the ubuntu version of Wine and then enable the wine repository so you can 'apt-get install' it again. Go to the wine page (winehq.org, I think) and follow the instructions. Or /join the #wine channel for more. It is much more likely that you get Wine going that way, although it is no guarantee that your specific app will ever run (Wine is far from complete). [17:00] Gusty [17:01] lgc: I have thtt rep enabled [17:01] Darkus: You updated to or from gutsy? [17:01] lgc: And using the newes wine, iäm on wine irc cahnnel but nobody answers :D [17:01] no i update gusty [17:01] oh [17:02] hi, I must have messed up, installed 7.10 off live CD, was working ok (with video shift of 1440x900 on the Dell 19", otherwise fine). Did the check for updates, and it talked about proprietary drivers during that update. I said fine, use them. It did its thing, now the net driver doesn't work, and the video seems to be resorting to VESA (800x600 or 640x480). === Dannyboy is now known as Danielg42 [17:02] What did I do wrong? [17:02] What did you update or was it large that you can't name all the parts? [17:02] Large [17:02] And if you could give any error it would help the most [17:02] 180mb [17:02] The Restricted Driver Manager seems to have taken away what was working. [17:03] lartza_, you have to be patient. There are usually few users around, and most ask questions, not the opposite. [17:03] Otherwise I can't really help [17:03] Al203: What video car? [17:03] !nessus [17:03] Sorry, I don't know anything about nessus - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [17:03] I have the NVIDIA accelerated graphicd driver enabled... Maybe it doesn't support the card in this macine? [17:03] !omsa [17:03] Sorry, I don't know anything about omsa - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [17:03] lgc: Well now there are only people coming and leaving [17:03] hi, gnome-keyring have a conflict with gdm. sometimes, when i restart gdm, that no start (still with a gray screen and X cursor). the netstat -anp|grep 177 show me the gnome-keyring using that port. that a bug?! [17:03] I tried to install ubuntu it said Faulty cd/dvd...But i downloaded the image and Burned it correctly and i can run off of it... [17:03] is the desktop release a "livecd" like release? [17:03] Hello ! Where is /etc/inittab ? Or How does it work now on ubuntu ? [17:03] it doesn't show any error [17:03] apparently the restricted manager thought I had an nvidia, I have not looked at the physical card myself, but suspect it is nvidia [17:04] jPratt: Sure you did everything correctly? [17:04] the_sniff: aye [17:04] Darksu: WHen does it crash? [17:04] bazhang thank. nice nickname [17:04] Al203: In my case I have a radeon 9250 and it is not suported from feisty. I think this is not the case for nvidia [17:04] hi [17:04] After taping my pass [17:04] Darkus: On splash or after it in gdm or after? [17:04] Yes i did i Downloaded and then i Used Sonic Record now to burn hte image [17:04] ok [17:04] So on the login [17:04] somebody can help me? i didn't connect to msn more, i try all them [17:04] and no error? WHat happen then? [17:05] No [17:05] tuiutu: using pidgin? [17:05] i can connect to msn fine [17:05] In the device manager, it says I have a 3c905B 100 Base TX [Cyclone] interface (not working now, but did before updates) [17:05] and the video ard is.... [17:05] eu tentei o pidgin [17:05] i'm on windows xp [17:05] hmm [17:05] bazhang i try all [17:05] Darkus: DOes it reboot or what? Crash so you need to reboot? [17:05] Anyone try ubuntu 8.04 with an ATI graphics card? [17:05] tuiutu: did you enter your msn info in pidgin correctly? [17:06] Nothing happen [17:06] Al203: did you try to reconfigure the driver package? [17:06] How can I run a command inside a chroot from a script? For instance: "chroot /mnt/gutsy && apt-get update" [17:06] #ubuntu+1 for that Danielg42 [17:06] bazhang i try mercury but i don't know how i change the server [17:06] but "apt-get update" only runs when my shell exits the chroot [17:06] Darksu: You just type the pass and get bac to login or it freezes? [17:06] not inside it [17:06] Pici, thanks. The bottom line is if I can wreck my system by messing with some part of the same extended partition of "/" and "/home", though not actually having to move or resize these. Gparted doesn't throw any warning when I program such ops, but I better have a second opinion. [17:06] german1410: not even sure how to do that, so the answer would be no, unless that is to enable the video driver that the system thought I needed. [17:06] ty benanzo [17:06] It freezes [17:06] And you need reboot? So,,, [17:06] lgc: If you arent touching the actual partition that you're using, theres no harm. [17:07] get ubuntu to the login window [17:07] Al203: dpkg-reconfigure [pkg-name] [17:07] I have a 440 bx/zx/dx 82443 bx/zx/dx/ host bridge [17:07] Ok [17:07] with a nv5m64 [riva tnt2 model 64/model 64pro] [17:07] bazhang do u know how i change server in mercury? [17:07] don't know if that helps. [17:07] Pici even though the extended one will have to accomodate the changes? [17:07] it works with the safety mode [17:07] so I have an nvidia tnt2 [17:07] tuiutu: sorry never used msn [17:08] Darkus: Yea, get to the login screen [17:08] I guess i will have to redownload it....and reburn it and fight with it some more [17:08] maybe I'll just plug in the rage 128 I have and see fi that works. [17:08] brb [17:08] hi, gnome-keyring have a conflict with gdm. sometimes, when i restart gdm, that no start (still with a gray screen and X cursor). the netstat -anp|grep 177 show me the gnome-keyring using that port. that a bug?! [17:08] jPratt: try isorecorder2 for windows [17:08] i'm thre [17:08] lgc: I don't see why it would. [17:08] I still need to redownload it [17:08] would like to know why my network card isnot working now though :( [17:08] without it I can't do much. [17:09] Pici, I don't know, the partition table maybe? [17:09] was working great last night when I started the update process, it finished update and this morning when I woke up it is no longer working on reboot. :( [17:09] Darkus: Press Ctrl+Alt+F2 [17:10] lol maynards Girl Like MJK of Tool? [17:10] I tape my lngin ? [17:10] yes [17:10] What can I type in terminal to see what my current IP address? [17:10] first login and then pass [17:10] I tried ip addr [17:10] but it showed everything but [17:10] Done [17:11] Al203: what updates did you run? [17:11] Darksu: Any errors there? [17:11] By the way, when is the next Ubuntu release due? [17:11] lgc, 22 days [17:11] April 24th [17:11] Exteris, thanks. [17:11] no [17:12] hey, how do i install fonts thru the GUI in Hardy? [17:12] mattl: Please join #ubuntu+1 for Hardy/8.04 support/discussion. [17:12] :( [17:12] Darkus: Jus googled, hang on. [17:12] what ? [17:13] mattl: Or just take off the Hardy part of your question and ask again. [17:13] Darksu: Trying to find if there is solution. Without the errors it's hard to tell 100% working solution [17:13] Well i have requested a CD so i will get that and DL it i will now switch back over to my Windows [17:13] MinusSeven: ifconfig -a [17:13] ok thx bro [17:14] <|MaX|> who have already install campcaster ?

[17:15] ifconfig -a didn't show it. But, that command does jog my memory [17:16] so, its weird its not showing it [17:16] mattl, you might want to do 'apt-cache seach font'. You'll see there are many font packages available, and some font-handling applications, like gtkfontsel. [17:16] Geforce 8600m GT [17:16] I'll go play around a bit [17:16] yeah that only shows the lan inet address [17:16] ChaosTheory: why not just install the ndiswrapper package that is in synaptic? [17:17] legend2440: I think I did that. [17:17] genii: Yes that works thanks [17:17] mattl, or use synaptics if you want it more tersely displayed. [17:17] legend2440: I install ndiswrapper and ndiswrapper-utils in Snynaptic. [17:17] Darkus: Are you in text mode after the login? [17:17] YES [17:17] benanzo: np [17:17] press alt+f7 [17:17] ChaosTheory: so why compile it? [17:18] DArksu: SO you get back to graphical login [17:18] legend2440: I don't know.

After a period of time it seems to lock up. The result is that I can no longer do an "ls" of my home directory nor can I access the remote directories. I can access other $HOME subdirectories. If I unmount the remote file system and remount it everything comes back to life. Anybody have any ideas what might cause this?

[17:24] adrock358, ghost, or if you get hiren's boot CD or UBCD4WIN there are lots of tools on those to recover/backup data [17:25] including ghost [17:25] MinusSeven: yes [17:25] can i run ghost on a system that doesn't boot?

[17:25] legend2440: Thanks for your help [17:25] sinbox, can i run ghost on a system that doesn't boot? [17:25] Darkus: What resolution are you using? [17:25] get hiren's boot CD or UBCD4win(but you'll need a box to build this on) and then boot from them and backup [17:25] adrock358, ^^ [17:26] MinusSeven: yes my router address is different than my ip address just like yours is [17:26] sinbox, you are saying that i need a secondary computer to di this? [17:26] i just have to copy and paste a script i don't in which extension i have to save ? [17:26] back to wrok.. later days... [17:26] knite name to dev t(dev/sda5)=sda5(8,5) [17:26] i just have to copy and paste a script i don't knwo in which extension i have to save ? [17:26] rerzerty: Linux has no concept of file extensions. Just put your script in a text file and save it. [17:27] okay here is something crazy, i have ubuntu linux 7.10 installed on both my notebook and desktop both machines are working awesome, compiz fine and everything only for one thing. Amarok runs perfect on my notebook and on my desktop it does nothing opens and just runs so slow or dont run at all. why is that? [17:27] Knit trying to resue from /dev/sda5 [17:27] sinbox? [17:27] rerzerty: you may need to mark it as executable though: chmod +x yourfilename [17:27] yes that's what i want [17:27] no resume image doing normal boot [17:27] Darksu: That's one error? You have any USB devices plugged? [17:27] adrock358, if you want to go with the UBCD4WIN yes you would, if you get hiren's boot CD then you just need a machine to burn the ISO to a CD [17:27] thx Pici [17:28] Darksu: Well, that's maybe not error and the resume image thing isn't [17:28] sinbox...ahh ok. how about ghost, does that need a secondary box, or just a comp to burn it on? [17:28] Darkus: What's last of errors [17:29] Ubuntu 7.10 ubuntu tty1 [17:29] that's all [17:29] Darkus: What reso are you using? [17:29] You had an nvidia GFX? [17:29] I forgot ... [17:29] apparenntly you can't just plug in a different video card (rage128) and have it work. [17:30] Yes [17:30] legend2440: Okay, I'm following the instructions. . . [17:30] hello guys [17:30] legend2440: I installed the bcm43xx-fwcutter thing. [17:30] Darkus: The reso won't matter much [17:30] adrock358, http://www.hiren.info/pages/bootcd it has ghost on it, and comes as an iso easily found on torrent sites, if you have a computer to burn it on I suggest you find a release with the keyboard patch so you can make sure it has the vorrect keyboard layout for the machine you are going to use it on [17:30] Darkus: Have you installed nvidia-glx? [17:30] legend2440: It doesn't say "firmware" in the restricted drivers manager, though. [17:30] yes [17:31] how disable keyring ? [17:31] emm [17:31] Darkus: Press Ctrl+Alt+F2 [17:31] Ok [17:31] so I installed eeexubuntu 7.10 on my eeec, but, I have problem to listen the .mp3 .wma files [17:31] Darkus: Do in there: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.bup [17:31] I need this lib libxine-extracodecs [17:32] eeepc: join your channel #eeepc ;] [17:32] but i need the repositories to download and install it [17:32] oh [17:32] eeepc: are you using eeepc ? [17:32] yes [17:32] eeepc: they have an excellent wiki as well [17:32] Darkus: Then sudo nano etc/X11/xorg.conf [17:32] ok [17:33] eeepc: how disable keyring ? [17:33] browser better than firefox? [17:33] i'm guessing there is no difference between open source pcs that dell sells compare to downloaded it from the website [17:33] but I think this is a normal ubuntu problem I guess [17:33] i'm just curious [17:33] how to manually boot hda1? or hda2? from grub ? [17:33] aguitel : I dunno [17:33] Darkus: Find lines "Section "Device"" Identifier "Your GFX card" Driver "nvidia or something else" [17:33] Looks like nobody has experience with sshfs eh? [17:33] they should be on top of each others [17:34] grub is set to boot from hdc1.. [17:34] I've just installed bcm43xx, but I don't see "firmware" under the restricted drviers manager.

[17:39] yes i fin it [17:39] find* [17:40] ChaosTheory, to modify a file you have to have the correct permission, this is why you cant set the file as executable, to solve the problem you can give yourself temporary access to super user privileges with 'sudo' but the easiest way is to allow everyone to modify the file,. so cd to the file cd /path/to/file then sudo chmod 777 ./file.exe [17:40] Use sudo chomd -R to get permission to files in that folder [17:40] Darkus: What does the driver say? [17:40] Darkus: Nvidia or some other? === jaggy is now known as jagggy [17:40] Nvidia [17:40] change that to nv [17:41] Then find Section "Screen" And from there SubSection "Display" [17:41] And Modes [17:41] ChaosTheory: is this a dell ?

[17:46] press tab and insert "800x600" tab again and "640x480" [17:46] bod_: The website wants me to run it in the restricted drivers manager after installing the bcm43xx but I don't see it. [17:46] bod_: The last time I installed ndiswrapper, I had to use the bcmwl5.inf and .sys files. [17:46] bod_: Do you think I should just do that again? [17:47] bod_: But when I try to do the "make" command with ndiswrapper, it gives me a bunch of errors. [17:47] bod_: I think it's not recognizing the C. [17:47] ChaosTheory, this is a bit out of my league,.,. can i have the web link plz [17:47] ChaosTheory: Have you runned ./configure? In some rpograms you have not to, but check file INSTALL [17:47] bod_: Oh, . . . I need to install ndiswrapper? [17:48] yer [17:48] lartza_: There is no configure in the INSTALL. Should I run it anyway?

[17:50] ChaoTheory: Check file INSTALL and if it says ./configure, make and make install [17:50] if i add a line to pg_hba.conf will /etc/init.d/postgresql-8.2 reload load in the new configuration or do i need to restart postgresql? [17:50] CT: Run those [17:50] lartza_: I extracted the ndiswrapper-1.52.tar.gz to my desktop. [17:50] cycom: you can make a file immutable, which is probably what you mean. Read man chattr for details [17:50] chattr! THANK YOU!3~ [17:50] cycom: man chattr [17:50] CT: If only make and make install i can't help, if anything else on configure the run it [17:50] lartza_: This is what it says: "Download the latest version of the ndiswrapper sources from here and extract it with the command tar zxvf ndiswrapper-version.-tar.gz" (the version is 1.52). [17:50] chattr. that's exactly what I was looking for and couldn't remember [17:50] when you print to postscript, where does the file go? [17:51] lartza_: I did that.

Change to that directory and run make uninstall, make." [17:51] impulze: lsb_release -a [17:51] ah thanks a bunch [17:51] lartza_: Then it says "Login as root and run." [17:51] lartza_: Okay.

[17:52] Comand nt found [17:52] Are you sure those are errors or just messages? [17:53] command nt? [17:53] lartza_: A lot of errors, a lot of warnings. [17:53] ChaosTheory, usually, make doesn't require you run sudo .. 'make install' usually does [17:53] Command not found [17:53] Darkus: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart jsut like there [17:53] unop_: I can't do make install yet, though. [17:53] unip_: Yea just realized it was make install that migt require [17:53] ChaosTheory, just 'make' on its own, no sudo [17:54] Darkus: Odd... [17:54] unop_: Just did that. It gives the same errors. [17:54] Lolz [17:54] /msg ubotu etiquette [17:54] sorry [17:54] Don work [17:54] ChaosTheory, ok, use the !pastebin (dont paste in here) and show us what you have there [17:54] doesn't work [17:54] Darkus: try cd /etc/init.d and sudo gdm restart [17:54] no [17:55] unop_: This is on another laptop.

[17:55] or what do you mean? [17:55] Yes [17:55] ChaosTheory, ahh, well, nevermind then, and i think i've come into this conversation too late too [17:55] You got the graphical login again? [17:55] But can't lunch ubuntu [17:56] unop_: Oh. I'm trying to install ndiswrapper. [17:56] sstill freeze? [17:56] Ye [17:56] ChaosTheory, i wonder why you arent using the ubuntu ndiswrapper package? [17:56] yes [17:56] unop_: I think I've already installed that, actually. [17:56] unop_: ndiswrapper-common and ndiswrapper-utils? [17:56] uno_: Is that all I need? [17:56] ChaosTheory, right, it is installed, you should be able to use them for your needs [17:56] Darkus: do the gdm restart thing again and on lgin, restart from bottom left menu [17:56] ChaosTheory, yes [17:57] unop_: Okay, then all I need to do is get the right Windows drivers. [17:57] No [17:57] How do you mean "No"??? [17:57] any body know of a good irc channel for c programming for beginners. [17:57] it freezes after taping pass [17:57] ng9324: ##C [17:58] ChaosTheory, right, yes [17:58] ng9324: is there one that is called #c++ [17:58] DArkus on text mode?

[17:59] Exist an alternative to Avant Window Navigator without using xgl? [17:59] unop_: Doing "ndiswrapper -l" gives me "The program 'ndiswrapper' is not currently installed." [17:59] thanks [18:00] ChaosTheory, hmm, ok, what i would do then is download the package from here and manually install it.. http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/all/ndiswrapper-common/download [18:00] DArkus: After reboot login from graphical and if it freezes press ctrl+alt+f1 [18:00] unop_: Can I try reinstalling through Synaptic? [18:00] ChaosTheory, are you connected to the net tho? [18:00] whats the name of the process that handles automounting usb drives in ubuntu? [18:00] unop_: It has ndiswrapper-common as green. [18:00] I would like to do a install of the ubuntu server version of 7.10 on software RAID for boot disks. Is this possible? [18:00] unop_: I have the LiveCD. [18:01] unop_: Maybe I should just purge the ndiswrapper altogether since I've messed with it a bit and reinstall through Synaptic? [18:01] !netsplit === lucas2 is now known as ljmeijer === erich is now known as erichj [18:01] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [18:01] ChaosTheory, that should not be necessary [18:01] What Versions of Ubuntu do you all use? I'm having all kinds of problems with Gutsy, and am wondering if it is worth it to just go back to a previous Release? [18:01] unop_: Okay, I'm going to try reinstalling ndiswrapper-common. [18:01] Justjade: I'm using gutsy [18:01] ChaosTheory, no no, you need just the ndiswrapper package thats all [18:02] unop_: I don't see an "ndiswrapper." [18:02] unop_: There are only two: "ndiswrapper-common" and "ndiswrapper-utils." [18:02] !info ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 [18:02] Package ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 does not exist in gutsy [18:02] Yes [18:02] unop_: Also, I just got an error when I tried to reinstall ndiswrapper-common. [18:02] lartza: what was the one before gutsy? and is it that much different...for a beginner I mean? [18:02] the sam errors [18:02] ChaosTheory, right , which is why you need to download and manually install ndiswrapper from here- [18:02] unop_: "E: bcm43xx-fwcutter: subprocess post-installation script return error exit status 1" [18:02] unop_: Okay, I see. [18:02] http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/all/ndiswrapper-common/download [18:03] Darkus: Sorry, then my knowledge ends here. Try to google some errors [18:03] Ok [18:03] ChaosTheory, once you have installed the package, you should see have the ndiswrapper util to do what you need to do [18:03] wow, I'm really surprised this NVidia legacy card is having problems. [18:03] thank u very much [18:04] Darkus: Anytime [18:04] I'll reinstall it [18:04] anyone from Naples Fl usa? [18:04] :( === uu is now known as x3cion [18:04] anyone else have had problems with legacy nvidia tnt2 riva cards? [18:05] does anyone know where I can download Feisty from? That is the one before gutsy right? === king is now known as armedking [18:05] I'm stuck with 640x480 or 800x600, but the /etc/x11/xorg.conf file shows that I have the right card, and also many more resolution options. [18:05] www.ubuntu.com [18:05] I have tried to disable the legacy driver, and it shows in use still. [18:05] http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download [18:05] unop_: Okay, doing "ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5.inf" says "driver bcmwl5 is already installed" [18:06] Ubuntu 7.10 [18:06] unop_: But ndiswrapper -l gives "bcmwl5: invalid driver!" [18:06] anyone have any tips for a first time install? [18:06] (I installed the .deb you gave me, by the way.) [18:06] ChaosTheory, right, remove the driver and try installing it again [18:06] unop_: How do I do that? [18:07] Ok So looks like i have to use gOS to get ubuntu, how would i go about this [18:07] ChaosTheory, errm, i'm sorry to do this but i have to go now -- but you should find instructions on that here - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper [18:07] epsol: tip #1: don't settle on the first install being the final one. Give yourself time to install it a few times until you've got a good feeling about it. [18:07] unop_: Thanks for all your help. [18:08] Justjaden: e.g. http://releases.ubuntu.com/feisty/ -- why an old release though? [18:08] lartza_: Are you still here? [18:08] Hey o have gOS i need to burn the Ubuntu image how can i do this [18:09] ChaosTHeory: Well now cause you noticed [18:09] soundray: okay, the only concerns I really have are I have dual monitors and 2 PCI SATA/IDE controllers.... [18:09] Justjaden: or go through the mirrors list to find a not-so-busy one: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors [18:09] ChaosTheroy: But only couple mins [18:09] lartza_: How can I reinstall the bcmwlf5.inf driver? [18:09] ? [18:09] lartza_: Okay, thanks. [18:09] epsol: two controllers will work seamlessly. Dual monitors can be tricky [18:09] !dualhead | epsol [18:09] epsol: Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama [18:09] :D === eeepc is now known as usm00j7 [18:09] lartza_: It says "bcmwl5: invalid driver!" when I do "ndiswrapper -l" [18:10] I would help if i would know [18:10] epsol: what's your graphics card? [18:10] hmm... [18:10] soundray: I'm having so many problems with my video card not being recognized, I figured it was just not going to happen on this os. So I'll just try something else. [18:10] an ATI [18:10] i could give it a try [18:10] I have a problem with y USB harddrive, when it is connectet it briefly appears in /media and is one after a couple of seconds. (dmesg: http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/147964/) [18:10] Ok i know Never mind ^^ [18:10] jPratt: Perhaps try askin in #gOS [18:10] soundray: 2400HD.... it sucks under Windows.... [18:10] hey guys tryin to register a nickname with /msg nickserv register , all it says is wait 120 seconds before using register again. Then try to /msg nickserv identify and it says my nick is not registered [18:10] any ideas what this is about [18:10] epsol: what make? [18:10] Justjaden: what video card? [18:11] soundray: its a visiontek [18:11] hti_pro: ask in #freenode please [18:11] I have a 2 monitor setup. If I run a game it most often runs "fullscreen" with half the image on one monitor and half on the other, and my crosshairs (if its a FPD) right in the middle. How can I start a game and force it to use just one monitor? [18:11] thanks [18:11] ChaosTheory: That's an wireless driver [18:11] epsol: I mean the chipset -- ATI? NVidia? S3? [18:11] wireless ccard driver [18:11] lartza_: Right. [18:11] You have one? [18:11] hti_pro I had the same problem but it said my password is incorrect and it's not..so I gave up on it for now [18:12] soundray: ATI 2400HD, I think the trickiest part is going to be the 1400x1050 resolution [18:12] lartza_: I have a what? [18:12] Broadcom 4318? [18:12] lartza_: My wireless card is Broadcom. [18:12] Wireless card and laptop [18:12] lartza_: Yes. Broadcom BCM4328. [18:12] Nvidia 6150go for a laptop. It worked just fine when I fresh installed. but then I installed a restricted driver for both my BCM43xx and the video card. Rebooted and bam! stuck with 800x600 res, and it says I can't find my video card. Plus the sound glitches like crazy on start up and only loads if I wiggle my mouse around a little.

[18:13] ChaosTheory: MIGHT work [18:13] So you can't get the wireless card work? [18:13] epsol: I don't think so -- 1400x1050 on a single screen won't be difficult. For dualhead, you will have to look into fglrx (ATI closed source driver), Xinerama and the configuration generator, aticonfig === voici is now known as wonderworld [18:14] lartza_: Okay, I'm taking a look.

[18:41] billy: banshee, exaile, quodlibet, amarok [18:41] never used amarok [18:41] billy rhythmbox is ok [18:41] Invisionfree: System>Preferences>hardware info may have the info about the chip used by the usb dongle... [18:41] im tryin to install amarok.. anyone in here ever use it? [18:41] has anyone been able to get multiple desktop wallpapers? [18:41] billy yes [18:41] is thsi freenode / [18:41] *? [18:41] billy: yes. You should be able to install it easily from add/remove programs [18:41] dsl994: yes [18:42] noodlesgc: wuts it like? [18:42] amarok** [18:42] erUSUL: I don't have GNOME/KDE, it's Ubuntu server [18:42] is there a way by xen to have full hardware control? use tv card or modem in windows as guest and linux host? [18:42] jk_: gnome? you can do it in kde, i know [18:42] esteth, thanks ! [18:42] i am in gnome [18:42] billy its pretty good, it has a tray icon, and it works well and does not crash [18:42] Invisionfree: ouch «lshw» [18:43] noodlesgc: is the way it organizes ur library any good? [18:43] erUSUL: How do I scroll up? [18:43] jk_: You can also do it with compiz. you use compiz? [18:43] billy yes it organized really well [18:43] Odd-rationale, funny enough i do [18:43] wuts up? [18:43] noodlesgc: k cool.. im really gonna miss WMP i think.. [18:43] Odd-rationale, i have been trying but does not work [18:43] billy: Audio players are really down to personal preference. Rhythmox that you most likely allready have is somewhat similar to iTunes. Banshee is probably the most iTunes like player. amarok is very popular but somewhat unusual [18:44] ive been using ubuntu almost exlcusively and i so dont miss Windows === atoponce is now known as encryptz [18:44] Invisionfree: use a pager «lshw | less» [18:44] esteth: wuts the one most similar to windows media player? [18:44] erUSUL: What am I looking for? [18:45] jk_: In ccsm, go to Desktop Cube --> appearence and put several images in the backgound [18:45] billy: I don't think we really have anything all that similar to windows media player. [18:45] esteth: oh okay lol, [18:45] Invisionfree: the linksys usb dongle info [18:45] billy i think the the most complete media player is VLC which also could be install on windows [18:45] erUSUL: I did lshw | grep -i Linksys [18:45] erUSUL: Nothing. [18:46] jk_: Also look at http://www.gnomefiles.org/app.php/Wallpapoz to see how to do it without compiz. === thomas__ is now known as Bruum [18:46] dimas_: where do i get it from? [18:46] Odd-rationale, i am only able to get the top cap to show my first image [18:47] Invisionfree: lets just asume the forum thread is right and it uses rt2570 driver... [18:47] erUSUL: I think it's right :P [18:47] Invisionfree: try «sudo modprobe rt2570» [18:47] jk_: Are you talking about the cube caps or desktop wallpaper? [18:47] dimas_: nvm lol [18:47] Hello all [18:47] billy: You can get vlc from the add/remove programs menu, i think. It will play many many formats, but it has no real library support [18:47] billy videolan.org [18:47] okay I reburned the cd and this is what I get now "Kernel is Alive ....kernel direct mapping tables up to (some memory addresses)" then it just reboots [18:47] philliplima: hello [18:47] !hi | philliplima [18:48] philliplima: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [18:48] erUSUL: FATAL: Module rt2570 not found. [18:48] thank you all [18:48] I have a 2 monitor setup. If I run a game it most often runs "fullscreen" with half the image on one monitor and half on the other, and my crosshairs (if its a FPD) right in the middle. How can I start a game and force it to use just one monitor? [18:48] Odd-rationale, i disabled cube caps and now one of my images is on the cap. but my wallpaers are still same [18:48] how is it work to install a media player on a web page? [18:48] jk_: do you have several images in the wallpaper section? [18:49] dimas_: meaning? [18:49] Odd-rationale, yeah [18:49] Invisionfree: try «sudo modprobe rt2500usb» [18:49] No error, erUSUL [18:49] odder i want to stream music and set up my own webpage for the people to access it [18:49] woodwizzle: do you have your screens setup as "1 monitor spanned" or "2 monitors" === Naota is now known as Cosmo-san [18:49] jk_: hmm. try wallpapoz instead and see if that works better. [18:49] erUSUL: Nothing, no error or anything. [18:49] Invisionfree: iwconfig shows anything new ?? [18:50] erUSUL: No, but there is a wlan0 that says IEEE 802.11g ESSID:"" [18:50] odder i have the server already straight up [18:50] billy: you can try Xine or Mplayer... they dont look that "windowsy" but they work... and if you REALY want windows media play use 'wine' and run it! [18:50] Invisionfree: thats it [18:50] would anybody know of a way to make a key, when i press it, press itself again? [18:50] erUSUL: Now what? :P [18:51] Invisionfree: now you only have to configure that wlan0 interface... [18:51] How? :P [18:51] Invisionfree: sudo iwlist wlan0 scan [18:51] dimas_: do you mean something like an Internet radio? === Kurban is now known as Kurban_Haydarov [18:51] recon, wouldn't it be easier to just press it twice? [18:51] erUSUL: Interface doesn't support scanning : Network is down [18:51] odder yes but i want to be my own server and have my own web page [18:51] DRebellion: not with my reaction time. [18:52] DRebellion: (for gaming) [18:52] Invisionfree: sudo iwconfig wlan0 up [18:52] Invisionfree: and then try again the scan [18:52] erUSUL: iwconfig: unknown command "up" [18:53] how can i play counterstrike in ubuntu? [18:53] odder i want no just stream the music but make business from it you know what i mean?, i seen most of free music server provider make the money for themself [18:53] does anyone know how to adjust the size of image preview without using stretch icon [18:53] billy, wine [18:53] !wine | billy [18:53] billy: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. [18:53] Invisionfree: sudo ifconfig wlan0 up === Jonathan__ is now known as Kurban_Haydarov [18:53] Guys i have a question, im trying to install ubuntu 7.10 on my desktop, well everything go well when i started the cd after selecting the language i just hitted the Run ubuntu, ok here is the problem after that ubuntu looks like is loading and show 3 loader on my screen, after the one in the middle is full loaded my screen goes blank well i cant see anything, im able to hear the sound of the system starting but no video to install ubun [18:53] erUSUL: Done. === StoneApple is now known as StoneNewt [18:54] Invisionfree: do the scan again... [18:54] erUSUL: Cell 02 is the Linksys one. [18:54] dimas_: I'm googling for it atm [18:55] Invisionfree: and does not find your Access Point...? [18:55] erUSUL: I did do the scan again. [18:55] philliplima: hmmm.... well it sounds like the xorg.conf is bad... try reburnng it [18:55] ok, new question. is there any way to bind a command to a single key, or a ctrl-* shortcut? [18:56] Does anybody know of a program that allows you to make another gnome session in a window?

[18:56] dimas_ like adobe flash player? [18:57] erUSUL: HELLO? [18:57] odder like yahoo perhaps that has the video player on the page so the people dont have to use their own media player [18:57] ... [18:57] Invisionfree: if you can not "see" you access point we can not progress i'm afraid [18:57] could i run windows media player in wine? [18:57] I DID. [18:57] I TOLD YOU. CELL 02 IS MINE [18:57] Hi. I've got this problem with Gutsy. Suddenly my sound in Firefox stopped working, and when I play other files (.mp3, .mpg, .avi) via mplayer, they sound horrible.

[18:58] its the second CD i burned when i try to load using the in security graphical mode, the screen flash's 6 time then says that en error ocurred and i have to wait 2 minutes [18:58] Hello, I like to execute a command at boot up on gusty. ex : X -query servername :0 (I disabled gdm) I did try rc.local .. No success, Where I can put this ? ty ! [18:58] It's almost like someone has messed with the treble and bass settings. [18:58] yay its going [18:58] erUSUL: Continue. [18:58] Odd-rationale: why is that? [18:58] Invisionfree: please calm down i'm helping [18:58] Ubuntu has 1337 users [18:58] billy: i know wmp 6.4 works in wine. but why would you use it? [18:58] I'd like to extend the timeout of when the screen blanks due to mouse/keyboard inactivity. Looked in System, Preferences, Power Management but can't seem to get it to change. Where is this defined? [18:58] Any idea how to re-install sound card drivers? ... [18:58] erUSUL: I told you I found it, you disappear, come back, and then say I said I couldn't see my access point .. [18:58] dimas_, if you need to install flash, in a terminal and after quitting any browsers, type sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [18:59] billy: Actually, you might. but not very well: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=131 [18:59] Any help anyone? I have an intel sound card (integrated) in my HP laptop. [18:59] slimeQslimedog: This could be because some app is stealing your sound. run lsof /dev/snd/* and try killing everything that's there, then playing a sound file. Save anything you're working on first in case you accidentally kill it [18:59] billy, i would give banshee and amarok a try, just install from the add/remove menu, you can remove it if you dont like it [18:59] frank: i like WMP lol, but wmp9 or 10, 6.4 is too old [18:59] Invisionfree: sudo iwconfg wlan0 essid "your_essid" [18:59] esteth: Okay. [18:59] is there a problem with feisty fawn and proftpd umask setting? Changes i make are ignored [18:59] Invisionfree: do you use wpa wep or something?? [18:59] dimas_: looks like I don't know how to help you. Sorry :( [18:59] erUSUL: No. [18:59] does anyone know how to adjust the size of image preview without using stretch icon [18:59] survivorman i just want to know how i can provide that service on my web page [18:59] What exactly are the backport repos? [18:59] waylandbill: go to system>pref>screensaver and you will see a bar move it to desired lingth ;) [18:59] !patinece | Invisionfree [18:59] Sorry, I don't know anything about patinece - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [18:59] erUSUL: Done. [19:00] odder thanks anyhow [19:00] esteth: It's only displaying mixer_app accessing the device file. [19:00] is it somehow possible to use a different install source instead of a cdrom? [19:00] how do i set the data transfer rate on eth0? [19:00] esteth: Should I kill that? [19:00] dimas_, that's not really an appropriate question to ask here. Perhaps search for a web programming channel or try google. [19:00] tealson: Go into the synaptic package manager and disable using the cd, it will get stuff from teh repos instead [19:01] bonjour a tous [19:01] slimeQslimedog: To be honest, i'm not sure. But i can't see any harm in doing so and rebooting if it causes a problem [19:01] !fr | labotest [19:01] billy: newer versions might work too but there is no reason not to use the linux media players. I use kaffeine mostly and it plays everything I throw at it [19:01] labotest: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais. [19:01] Alex_Gaynor : i am trying to install ubuntu from text mode, so synaptic is not available [19:01] odder lets say you have some files you want people to see from your web page and you want to have your media player on your page [19:01] tealson: yes go to system>adminastration>software sources [19:01] esteth: The worst part is that this happened before, with Feisty. [19:01] erUSUL? [19:01] trey__: yup. exactly what I wanted. thanks [19:01] esteth: But I never fixed that, 'cuz I installed debian etch the same day :( [19:01] frank: yeah.. i just like to hang on to wut im used to sometimes lol [19:01] does anyone know how to adjust the size of image preview without using stretch icon [19:01] tealson: You'd probably need to edit the sources file then [19:02] trey__: i am trying to install ubuntu from text mode, so synaptic is not available ;-) [19:02] waylandbill: your welcome! [19:02] Invisionfree: sudo dhclient [19:02] !patience > Invisionfree [19:02] Alex_Gaynor : is this possible from command line? (like in debian sources.list?) [19:02] dimas_: I'm not a big flash expert, so I really can't help you. I tried google, but couldn't find any good results. [19:02] Invisionfree: does the dhclient suceed on getting an ip address from the ap ?? [19:02] billy: using wine is a last resort option for me. [19:02] slimeQslimedog: Ah. I'm not too versed in sound problems myself, but i've had a similar problem before that killing off the apps listed with lsof /dev/snd/* returned me to normal. Sorry if i can't help any more [19:02] tealson: so your trying to install ubuntu without the disk?? [19:03] erUSUL: I don't know :x [19:03] thanks odder [19:03] tealson: You can use apt-get install packagename to install packagename from the terminal [19:03] tealson: I think so, I'm not really an expert [19:03] hi, using LyX is proving frustrating because there doesn't seem to be an easy way to get latex classes for it? it only comes with about 5 classes :\ [19:03] esteth: Okay, thanks. It didn't work unfortunately. I'll try rebooting and see if the problem gets fixed. [19:03] Invisionfree: it should tell you... it gives up after a while or prints the ip it gets [19:03] esteth: Any other forum you can direct me to? [19:03] how do install a windows program in wine? [19:04] trey__: : no i am not, i can boot from my install disks, but install failes because my cdrom drive can't read all the files (its broken, the cd is okay, i md5sumed it), so i need a different source like a http mirror which offers the suitable files [19:04] Doing "sudo ndiswrapper -i bcmwl.inf" gies "driver bcmwl5 is already instaleld", but it also says "driver 'bcml5' is not instlaled (properly)!" [19:04] slimeQslimedog: The ubuntu official support forums are very good. www.ubuntuforums.org [19:04] How do I uninstall the driver and reinstall it? [19:04] billy: double click on the setup.exe ;) [19:04] esteth: Okay, thanks. It's almost like a karaoke effect with treble! ... [19:04] erUSUL: It's going a lot of 255.255.255.255 for a bunch of things, then No DHCPOFFERS received. No working leases in persistent database - sleeping. [19:04] erUSUL: its a .msi file [19:05] and tools > reconfigure fails! this is poor compared to most my experience with ubuntu packages :( [19:05] erUSUL: for steam [19:05] tealson: um... i dont know...i didnt think you could do that.... [19:05] Invisionfree: then it failed... :| [19:05] How do I uninstall a driver? [19:05] ChaosTheory: blacklist it [19:05] sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [19:05] erUSUL: Is it possible to install GNOME/KDE without internet? [19:05] billy: How do I do that? [19:05] billy: there are a lot of guides in google about installing steam on wine [19:06] billy: well .msi works on wine now actually but you need to do a few things to get steam up and running [19:06] ChaosTheory: then type the driver in there and save [19:06] ChaosTheory: then restart [19:06] kitche: how do i get steam up and running? [19:06] Invisionfree: you can use the alternate CD burn it and add it (sudo apt-cdrom add /dev/cdrom) to apt [19:06] billy: So it opens up the text editor. [19:06] billy: you should google around for instructions on installing steam on ubuntu. It's very possible that it needs a specific configuration to run [19:07] billy: I just save it? Without doing anything? [19:07] ahhhh, I have a ton of classes in /usr/share/texmf-texlive/ but ubuntu wants to see them in texmf/ [19:07] Invisionfree: then install ubuntu-desktop or kubuntu-desktop [19:07] hi [19:07] billy: wine's homepage actually has excellent instructions [19:07] does anyone know how to adjust the size of image preview without using stretch icon [19:07] ChaosTheory: no, write the name at the bottom of the list of the driver [19:07] ChaosTheory: then save [19:07] erUSUL: I installed the Ubuntu server from CD, would that CD work? [19:07] !hi | bolan1 [19:07] bolan1: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [19:07] kitche: oh okay i'll look at that then [19:07] billy: you go a lot of work to do... LOL [19:07] erUSUL: simple apt-get cdrom add works, too [19:08] trey__: why is that? [19:08] billy: Okay, now I restart the computer? [19:08] you could do that [19:08] Invisionfree: no the server cd doesn't have the required packages afaik [19:08] or sudo modprobe -r [19:08] billy: i mean all these questans... its like billy billy billy billy..... [19:08] erUSUL: How big is the Alt CD? [19:08] billy: FATAL: Module bcml5.inf not found. [19:08] Invisionfree: about the same size [19:09] Invisionfree almost 700mbs [19:09] ChaosTheory: wait are you trying to remove a driver from ndiswrapper? [19:09] I don't have time to download that big a file, I'd be better off installing Windows and making this a Windows server .. [19:09] does anyone know for what ubuntu uses the wmaster0 device? [19:09] billy: ndiswrapper already installed a driver but it installed improperly. [19:09] ChaosTheory: or are you trying to stop ndiswrapper all together? what are you trying to do in the first place? [19:09] billy: So I'm trying to *uninstall* the driver and reinstall it properly. [19:10] ChaosTheory: then type this; sudo ndiswrapper -r [19:10] bolan1: google says for wireless networking, afais [19:10] klogd is eating up my CPU! Why? [19:10] ChaosTheory: in a terminal type ndiswrapper -l to list installed drivers if any [19:10] I'm trying to setup ndiswrapper to use the proprietary broadcom wireless driver. I install the driver w/ ndiswrapper -i then i do ndiswrapper -m, then i do modprobe ndiswrapper and modprobe throws the error that it couldn't locate ndiswrapper.ko--isn't ndiswrapper -m supposed to make that file? [19:10] Invisionfree: your server your choice [19:11] billy: "couldn't delete /etc/ndiswrapper/bcmwl5.inf: No such file or directory" [19:11] erUSUL: Why wouldn't sudo dhclient work? [19:11] ChaosTheory: type ndiswrapper -L but lowercase L [19:11] ChaosTheory: and paste the output [19:11] !paste [19:11] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined 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) [19:11] legend2440: bcmwl5: invalid driver! [19:11] legend2440: bcmwl5: driver installed [19:11] ChaosTheory: type sudo ndiswrapper -r bcmwl5 [19:11] billy: This is on another laptop. [19:11] does anyone know how to adjust the size of image preview without using stretch icon [19:11] Invisionfree: dunno really maye the signal is not good or whatever with wifi you never now :| (or is hard to find out) [19:12] ChaosTheory: ok ndiswrapper -e bcmwl5 to remove it [19:12] Invisionfree: then request a free cd or start right before you dgo to bed ;) [19:12] ChaosTheory: i was going thru the exact same thing you are [19:12] trey__: My internet will crash and restart before it's passed 300MB [19:12] legend2440: Okay, now it just says "bcmwl5: invalid driver!" [19:12] odder: but the device wlan0 gets the dhcp ip address of my accesspoint and the wmaster0 device gets an unknown address [19:12] ChaosTheory: you should just forget tryin to get ur bcm card to work and go get yourself a wireless bridge [19:12] billy: Actually, I got it to work *perfectly* yesterday. [19:12] Invisionfree you have a trasfer rate cap? [19:13] mw-home: dunno why, but found a solution: http://lists4.opensuse.org/opensuse/2001-07/msg02926.html [19:13] jk_: gconf-editor under nautilus [19:13] billy: But my sound and video card settings were thoroughly messed up so I installed a clean copy again. [19:13] ChaosTheory: the problem with the bcm stuff is that it slowly 'decays', and sometimes quickly [19:13] bolan1: I'll googling it [19:13] ChaosTheory: it could be working perfectly for 10 mins or 10 hrs, then all of a sudden stop working all together [19:14] ChaosTheory: thats why i went with a wireless bridge lol, wayyyyyyyy easier to set up [19:14] odder: thanks! [19:14] 2 stupid questions : I don't have internet at the house. I download at a cybercafe. I try to install "libxine1". It refuses, mentioning a dependancy for libxine1. Why? [19:14] i ask because i cant connect to my remote server anymore (ping works but ssh and vnc causes a "no route to host" ) is it possible that this device cause this trouble? [19:14] billy: Well, it was working fine from about 12PM to 3AM yesterday. [19:14] using the ndiswrapper module found in synaptic, after I install the bcmwl5 wireless driver and running ndiswrapper -m, modprobe ndiswrapper fails because it says that ndiswrapper.ko cannot be found. Am I missing a step here? [19:14] sburwood: do you have the cd? [19:14] ChaosTheory: but it randomly stopped huh? mine did the same thing [19:14] afternoon all. [19:14] ChaosTheory: and i tried to get it working for like 3 months to no avail [19:14] I need to scan my documents. I have a HP Scanjet 2200C. It should work, but doesn't [19:15] billy: No. [19:15] billy: It was working fine. [19:15] billy: I just reinstalled Ubuntu. [19:15] billy : I installed Gutsy from a Live CD [19:15] billy: I reinstalled due to problems with my sound and video card. [19:15] this device has a route entry to the 0.0.0.0 network [19:15] ChaosTheory: i reinstalled after i started having problems again with bcm, and i never got it working again [19:15] as well as the wlan0 device [19:15] what bcm card is it specifically? [19:16] sburwood: then put the cd in the tray and it should have that file ur looking for [19:16] billy: Broadcom. [19:16] billy: One second. [19:16] erUSUL: That appears to be the v1 version of WUSB54G. It uses a Prism chipset and not the RaLink chipset used by later versions. So be careful when applying instructions that might be based on different versions of the product. <- According to that, mine should use RaLink [19:16] sburwood: whoa. Have you tried XSane? It should work for most scaners without any problems. [19:16] ChaosTheory: mines BCM4311MCG for example [19:16] billy: Broadcom Corporation BCM4328 802.11a/b/g/n [19:16] ChaosTheory: k gimme a few [19:16] odder, I downloaded what I thought was sane 1.0.19 [19:16] a/b/g/n [19:16] hrnn [19:16] billy: I think all I need to do is follow the "INSTALL" in this ndiswrapper 1.52 tar.gz file.

[19:17] !info | xsane [19:17] Sorry, I don't know anything about info - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [19:17] ChaosTheory: 64 or 32-bit?

[19:24] odder : I answered the PM [19:24] "bcmwl5 : invalid driver! [19:24] That's all. [19:24] ChaosTheory: sudo ndiswrapper -r bcmwl5 [19:24] slart: from my experiance (two days) hes (she?) allways tired... [19:24] sburwood: I don't see any answer. You probably don't own a registered freenode account. [19:24] ChaosTheory: then do ndiswrapper -l again [19:24] billy: Okay, I did that. [19:25] I need to execute a command after the update has been up .. But more then that, after the network gained his IP , How can I do that ? [19:25] billy: "bcmwl5 : invalid driver!" [19:25] okay [19:25] billy: Only once this time. [19:25] ChaosTheory: then do the sudo ndiswrapper -r bcmwl5 again [19:25] trey__: hmm... perhaps some new batteries will make things better.. well well [19:25] Adylas, what? [19:25] ChaosTheory: ok sudo ndiswrapper -e bcmwl5 to remove it billy -e removes driver not -r [19:26] alrt: your buyin!

[19:26] I installed Ubuntu onto an external USB drive. This was for dual-booting XP and Ubuntu. However, the XP system resides on a Promise RAID controller. When I installed Ubuntu, it wrote GRUB over top of my XP RAID and I can no longer boot to XP. How do I fix/remove GRUB [19:26] billy: "bcmwl5 : invalid driver!" [19:26] Adylas: as far as I know, it depends on the service itself [19:26] ChaosTheory: okay, ill give you a link to downoad a good driver, gimme a second [19:27] billy: Okay. [19:27] ryanhull76: boot an XP disk in recovery mode, and run fixboot and fixmbr [19:27] odder, I don't think that I have registered [19:27] ryanhull76: use the windows XP installation CD to get a recovery prompt, then issue the commands "fixboot" and "fixmbr" [19:27] odder: If the service is started without an ip, it just fail and the bootup continue. [19:27] that should clear grub off the master boot record [19:27] Adylas, if you use command line then it's something like "command1 && command2" [19:27] ryanhull76: That will remove grub and give you back windows default bootloader [19:27] odder : how do I register? [19:27] !register | esteth [19:27] is ubotu off duty again? [19:27] IndyGunFreak: ubotu is on holiday [19:27] ryanhull76 | !grub [19:28] Skiessi: I have no clue what you are talking about. I play with /etc/init.d and I want to start a service when the network interface got his IP. [19:28] Slart: friggin slacker [19:28] ChaosTheory: wut kinda computer is it? [19:28] sburwood: try /msg nickserv help register [19:28] !register | sburwood [19:28] I keep getting errors after updating [19:28] IndyGunFreak: esteth: I've tried that, but XP setup disc requires drivers for the raid card. When I install them (F6 - then s to add device) it won't show the array. However, I can see the 3 drives in Ubuntu. (i'm in LIVE CD right now) can I just edit/wipe GRUB and go from there? [19:28] sburwood: ubotu's off a moment [19:29] brb everyone [19:29] ryan8403: i don't think so.., [19:29] I use Gutsy [19:29] I've already tried reinstalling but after I update ubuntu gets fucked up [19:29] ryanhull76: you can edit grub i'm fairly sure, but removing it.. i don't think so [19:29] billy: HP dv6000 [19:29] k [19:29] ryanhull76: i think if you remove grub you cant boot ubuntu... hmmm... oh! you mean... (slaps himself) LOL never mind [19:29] ChaosTheory: what is listed in System>Administration>Restricted Driver Manager? [19:30] IndyGunFreak: Damn. I was hoping I could just edit a few lines and get XP back. I'll screw with ubuntu again some other time. [19:30] legend2440: Only one thing: "NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (latest cards)" [19:30] legend2440: And it isn't in use. [19:30] I've already tried reinstalling but after I update ubuntu gets fucked up [19:30] ryanhull76: you might be able to, problem is, you went about a silly way of installing ubuntu [19:30] ryanhull76: You can edit grub in /etc/grub/boot.list i think, but removing grub without replacing it with another bootloader will render you unbootable. We cannot include the windows bootloader due to copyright restrictions [19:31] IndyGunFreak: I figured installing to an external drive would allow me to dual-boot when I chose too, without touching the existing install. [19:31] esteth: he'll have to mount the drive to do that [19:31] ryanhull76: well, that obviously was false... [19:31] ok how much money do you got i have a peny and a lint ball.... who wants to buy a new bot?? [19:31] IndyGunFreak: yeah, that's the problem. I can't mount the drive right now. [19:31] esteth: /boot/grub/menu.lst not /etc/grub/boot.list [19:31] ChaosTheory: ok where did you get the windows driver you are using with ndiswrapper? [19:31] sburwood: okay, just give me your mail and the machine architecture, so I can send you a proper .deb file [19:31] genii: Aha, thanks [19:31] !language | armada [19:31] legend2440: Oh. . .

[20:15] jk_: depends on what you want to do :-) [20:15] clutsy: You're welcome. [20:15] !restricted [20:15] try manning all of these to get some information [20:15] lesshaste: yes u need gstreamer plugins which should be downloaded automatically when u try to open wmv or other closed stuff [20:15] evand: Some of only a few issues with Wubi http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=234 but since will be officially supported I won't bother dissuading anyone from using it [20:15] ChaosTheory: yeah.. i have no idea lol [20:15] Odd-rationale: ubotu's off a moment, please be patient ;-) [20:15] akramsaleh: ok but if they aren't what are they? [20:16] ChaosTheory: i never had to deal with any of that [20:16] billy: It's time to Google. =D [20:16] billy: Or, it only takes about 20 minutes to clean install. [20:16] lesshaste: let me check plz [20:16] wow this is turning out horriably [20:16] akramsaleh: thanks [20:16] ChaosTheory: yeah it really is lol. my best suggestion to keep you from having any more headaches is to spend $20 on a wireless bridge [20:16] ChaosTheory: they're really easy to set up [20:16] i have enabled desktop cube but how do I get it to go on? [20:16] jk_: try pming me so we won't flood the channel, I'll try to help you [20:17] clusty-ribbon1: Right ctrl + alt and drag your screen around. [20:17] lesshaste: I don't remember the exact names of the gstreamer packages you need. I use xine and I can play wmv just fine. [20:17] billy: Will I have to go through this ndiswrapper stuff? [20:17] ChaosTheory: with a wireless bridge? no [20:17] clutsy-ribbon1: I meant "try" not "right." [20:17] Odd-rationale: ok so I need to reconfigure firefox for mplayer maybe [20:17] billy: I'll take a look at it. [20:17] huh? right? [20:17] genii: Ack'ed, though the bugs that I'm aware of should be fixed in tomorrow's daily live CD builds. [20:18] oh :P [20:18] clutsy-ribbon1: Ctrl + alt + drag. [20:18] ChaosTheory: to set up a wireless bridge, all you do is set a static ip on ur 'wired connection' in ubuntu, type the ip of the bridge in firefox, and go from there [20:18] ChaosTheory: its really, really,really simple [20:18] lesshaste: That maybe one way. [20:18] billy: Hm. But for now, I'll have to get this working. [20:18] Odd-rationale: any idea how to do that? I installed the plugin [20:18] <|Dede|> I have no sound when running a java applet in firefox, any solution please? [20:18] ChaosTheory: no money im guessin lol [20:19] billy: And no time. =D [20:19] ChaosTheory: it takes alot less time to set up a bridge [20:19] ChaosTheory: took me five minutes [20:19] lesshaste: the mozilla-mplayre plugin or whatever its called? [20:19] Odd-rationale: yes [20:19] billy: Can I get one at Circuit City? [20:20] billy: And will the connection be stable? [20:20] lesshaste: Another Idea is to use totme-xine instead of totem-gstreamer. [20:20] Odd-rationale: how do I do that? [20:20] lesshaste: idk. maybe open with firefox? [20:20] ChaosTheory: yes you can get them at circuit city and yes they're stable, thats how im talkin to ya lol [20:20] lesshaste: sudo apt-get install totem-xine [20:20] billy: Haha, okay. And they are only $20? [20:20] lesshaste: It will warn you that it will remove totem-gstreamer [20:20] Anyone here is using Monodevelop 1.0? Can't compile it :( [20:20] ChaosTheory: about that, maybe cheaper [20:21] billy: Sounds great. I'll research them and hopefully I'll be able to get one today. [20:21] ok [20:21] ChaosTheory: ill find u somethin right now lol [20:22] a little help please with the iwl3945 module? it works for minutes, then goes really slow [20:22] billy: The thing is, I had a very stable (95%+) reception yesterday. . . [20:22] lesshaste: have u found ur answer ?? [20:22] #NY [20:22] akramsaleh: working on it [20:22] billy: Do you know how I can purge bcm43xx-fwcutter, maybe? [20:23] ChaosTheory: no lol. [20:23] ChaosTheory: u gotta walmart near u? [20:23] I'm really tempted to do another clean install. [20:23] billy: Yes. [20:23] <|Dede|> I have no sound when running a java applet in firefox, any solution please? [20:23] ChaosTheory: yeah.. they're cheaper than circuit city lol === tuna-fish is now known as tuna [20:24] lesshaste: gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly and/or gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad i think [20:24] billy: But I don't know if it is *necessary.* I had the wireless connection set up manually and I made it my default and it worked like a charm. [20:24] akramsaleh: ok.. odd names [20:24] <|Dede|> I have no sound when running a java applet in firefox, any solution please? [20:25] what command is used to hide files [20:25] lesshaste: lol i have them installed and they are Good :D [20:25] ChaosTheory: once my broadcom worked i was happy, but then it stopped working completely, and i haven't gotten it to wrok since [20:25] jk_: just put a "." in front of the filename [20:25] is ubuntu using dd program in any scripts on livecd? [20:25] billy: Okay, I'm going to do a clean install again -- I've already messed with ndiswrapper and the drivers. [20:25] billy: Hm, I see. [20:25] jk_: e.g. ".file.txt" would be a hidden file [20:25] jk_: I type "eject" and then put the DVD under a plant pot [20:26] ChaosTheory: yupp,, broadcom is just too much of a headache imo [20:26] dooglus, wow [20:26] jk_: darn. I'm going to have to find a new hiding place now :( [20:26] billy I'm still going at it because I have *absolutely no obligations.* [20:26] is there a way with dd to make a compressed image of a hard drive? is there another app to perform this task? can I pipe dd to gzip for example? [20:26] billy: I can't imagine Linux is really friendly to people who actually have things to do. [20:26] ampex3: you can indeed [20:26] your bcm43xx.. How were you able to get it to work.. I'm having problems with ubuntu 6.07 on my HP nx9010 laptop.. [20:26] Odd-rationale, i wanted to know how to do it for many files, just got . mv file .file how easy [20:27] ChaosTheory: it is if you have the right equipment lol [20:27] billy: But I'm a poor N00B. =| [20:27] jodie: try 6.06 or 6.10. those two actually exist, and so might work better. [20:27] ChaosTheory: i like it, just yeah.. it does take alotta time to get it working and stuff [20:27] ampex2, dd uses raw i/o .. so it can't be piped to gzip that way -- although you can just use tar (with gzip or bzip2) to create a compressed 'image', sure [20:27] jk_: maybe a mass renamer would help. purrr for example [20:27] ChaosTheory: im just as much of a noob lol [20:27] lesshaste: any improvement ?? [20:28] billy: At one point yesterday, I had wireless, my screen resolution, sound, *and* Compiz working. [20:28] billy: AND I had my text-based IM client working. [20:28] Can someone help me figure out why the tls key negotiation isn't occuring between my openvpn server and my openvpn client??? [20:28] billy: It was absolutely amazing. [20:28] jk_: for i in * do mv $i .$i; done [20:28] billy: Then I had wanted to make my resolution the default setting. [20:28] ChaosTheory: yeah it is pretty amazing, i got all of that right now lol [20:28] billy: So I did something with the NVIDIA-settings. [20:28] is ubuntu using dd program in any scripts on livecd? [20:28] ChaosTheory: i even got the desktop cube thing working. .its really cool lol [20:28] billy: Then I lost sound. So I did some stuff at restarted. [20:28] billy: Yes, I had nearly every single extra setting on. :D [20:29] dooglus, what about renaming txt file beginning with s [20:29] billy: I got sound back but my graphics was still not working. [20:29] jk_: for i in s*.txt; do mv "$i" ."$i"; done [20:29] billy: Then I used some program called "Envy" and *everything* messed up. [20:29] ChaosTheory: its a royal pain in the... [20:29] billy: It couldn't recognize my sound card, wireless card, or video card. [20:29] ChaosTheory: wow... that sucks lol [20:29] billy: So that's when I did a clean install at 3 in the morning. T_T [20:29] billy: And 12 hours later, here I am. . .

[21:00] billy: Extract the ndiswrapper to a folder in the Desktop, then run cabextract on it, right? [21:00] Exteris: do you know what should I do now? [21:01] ChaosTheory: just extact the ndiswrapper folder on the desktop, which should make a new folder without the .tar.gz [21:01] hello?

[21:01] billy: Now what is the command for cabextract? [21:01] !grub [21:01] IndyGunFreak: I don't know how to reconfigure it [21:01] ChaosTheory: go into the cabextract folder by cd [21:01] Bah ubotu fails me [21:01] IndyGunFreak: I think that would solve the problem [21:01] ChaosTheory: then sudo make [21:01] ubotu needs to get w/ it. [21:01] ChaosTheory: then sudo make install [21:01] whiteeagle, you should first get a normal desktop running, try editing the xorg.conf and putting vga or vesa in there, instead of fgrlx [21:01] Cabextract folder? [21:02] IndyGunFreak: get w/ it with what? [21:02] ChaosTheory: yeah [21:02] billy: It's a .deb, so I just click on it and installed the package. [21:02] billy: we were talking about ubotu, needs to get on the job. [21:02] ChaosTheory: oh yeah.. the cabextract its a deb so just click and it inslats [21:02] IndyGunFreak: oh yeah lol [21:02] billy: i'm thinking it wouldnt matter unless someone's gonna run mathlab or render graphics, uh.. [21:02] billy: Right. [21:02] @ zacky: windows has no respect for other bootloaders in the hdd MBR. You are going to have to boot with your Ubuntu CD and reinstall Grub [21:03] ChaosTheory: then with ndiswrapper, put the tarball on ur desktop, right click, and click 'extract here' [21:03] I lost my terminal [21:03] grAv|ty: right now i'm on the livecd but i dont know how to install grub [21:03] aaaaargh this kills me [21:03] question to hardy, this channel? [21:03] @ zacky, if your linux install was new, it would be easiest to just reinstall your Ubuntu [21:03] ChaosTheory: then open a new terminal and type cd Desktop/ndiswrapper-1.52 [21:03] billy: Wait, wait, wait. [21:03] please just tell me what is the command to reconfigure the xorg [21:03] ChaosTheory: lol sry [21:03] billy: I have the ndiswrapper-1.52 folder on the desktop. [21:03] grAv|ty: it wasn't new...if it was i would have had a fresh intall [21:04] the previous one didn't work [21:04] Iowahc: #ubuntu+1 [21:04] thx [21:04] hello world ! [21:04] the previous one you gave me [21:04] ChaosTheory: k, you extracted it right? [21:04] lemme double check this. [21:04] whiteeag1e: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [21:04] billy: Right. [21:04] is there any estimation of how many man hours has gone into all of the software in the ubuntu repositories? [21:04] thanks! [21:04] ChaosTheory: then in terminal: cd [21:04] does anyone know why my computer freezes when i try tu turn it off using the GUI button? [21:04] whiteeag1e: and just take generic defaults, tll you get back to a GUI. [21:04] ampex3: umpteen bazillion.

[21:05] <|Dede|> does Ubuntu CD install have NdisWrapper implemented? [21:05] ikonia: well, i've only tried to tell him that 3x..lol [21:05] so maybe it wasn't so obvious [21:05] |Dede|: yes [21:05] zackyramonee, join #grub [21:05] billy: Okay, so I'm in the folder I just made on the desktop. [21:05] zackyramonee: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [21:05] he apparently didn't do it whe he tried to reconfigure a few minutes ago [21:06] ChaosTheory: okay, then type sudo make [21:06] billy: This is the moment of truth. . .

[21:08] billy: The CD had no errors. [21:08] ChaosTheory: hmm.. i dunno then.. maybe something to do with ur laptop? [21:08] billy: Okay, so let's run through what I did. [21:08] billy: I took the .tar.gz and extracted it to my Desktop. [21:08] ChaosTheory: i ordered a couple cd's from ubuntu directly so ya [21:08] billy: That made a file called "ndiswrapper-1.52." [21:09] ChaosTheory: okay [21:09] billy: I went to that file in terminal. [21:09] billy: And I did "sudo make." [21:09] billy: Is that right? [21:09] ChaosTheory: yeah [21:09] Hi, I installed eggdrop, and it's connected and running, but I can't telnet to it, anyone know why? [21:09] billy: Make I need to do ./config or something?

[21:11] ChaosTheory: yeah try that lol sudo apt-get build-dep ndiswrapper-common ndiswrapper-modules-1.9 ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 [21:12] and then do the make stuff [21:12] billy, ./configure first iirc [21:12] i'm looking for an msn client with which i could use "shared folders" (excuse me for my medium english... :/ ) [21:12] jk_, it's a movie i thought, or was that 21 grams? if so i'll say it again tomorrow :P [21:12] iositd: ChaosTheory is the one needing the help [21:12] billy, iositd: "E: You must put some 'source' in your sources.list" [21:12] billy, you're the one helping him :-) [21:12] The labels on tabs at the bottom of my spreadsheets in OpenOffice are INCREDIBLY small -- unreadably so. I've tried to fix it with System -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Fonts, but that doesn't seem to control the fonts in the UI in OOo. [21:12] Hi, I installed eggdrop, and it's connected and running, but I can't telnet to it, anyone know why? [21:12] MatToufoutu: erm, I've never heard of such a thing as shared folders over IM - could you elaborate? [21:12] iositd: i gave up on my bcm43xx and decided to go with a wireless bridge lol [21:12] haha Exteris got it [21:12] iositd: yeah i kno [21:13] Hey guys [21:13] ChaosTheory, did you install by alternate/have internet now? [21:13] tonyyarusso, well, i'm not fluent in english, but i'll try to explain that [21:13] ChaosTheory: crap.. you need to have the ubuntu hooked up to the net for that [21:13] iositd: I do not have internet on the laptop with the problems. [21:13] Does anyone here know what the game where you take down alien space ships by moving your mouse around and shooting is called? [21:13] ChaosTheory, can you temporary get internet on it? jack a cable in? [21:13] ChaosTheory: is there any way you can get the ubuntu hooked up to the net thru an ethernet cable? [21:13] Hi, I installed eggdrop, and it's connected and running, but I can't telnet to it, anyone know why? [21:13] !repeat | Invisionfree [21:13] MatToufoutu: there are also channels for many other languages f that would be easier. [21:14] isoitd: I have an ethernet cable but I'm not sure how to. . . [21:14] It's sort of 3Dish. I had it installed before, but I forgot the name. === _jonathan is now known as orbited === orbited is now known as aventin [21:14] !fr | MatToufoutu [21:14] iositd, billy: I've tried it before and I didn't get any kind of connection. [21:14] hmm, no bot still [21:14] ChaosTheory, did what, jack a able in? [21:14] iositd: Yes. [21:14] ChaosTheory: you have to wait a minute for it to wrok [21:14] tonyyarusso, i tryed but got no answer, so i try there [21:14] work** [21:14] Hi, I installed eggdrop, and it's connected and running, but I can't telnet to it, anyone know why?? [21:14] iositd: I just took the ethernet out from the router and put it into my laptop. [21:15] speedtouch thomson 780WL via USB on ubuntu... possible or not? [21:15] Invisionfree: probably a better question for an eggdrop channel? [21:15] ChaosTheory: is ur desktop comp windows? [21:15] ChaosTheory, don't unjack the router, that's the end where the other cable goes in [21:15] tonyyarusso, u see with windowslive messenger u can share files with contacts using a specific folder, and i'm looking for a client that could do this under linux [21:15] Hi room. I'm having trouble getting Ubuntu to recognize my scanner. I have installed the HP 3900 series driver, but it doesn't recognize my scanner. any help? [21:15] !hcl | kebab [21:15] Anyone? [21:15] it died again :( [21:15] hcl what [21:15] iositd: The router is hooked up to the modem, though? billy: Yes. [21:15] ubotu is dead [21:15] R.I.P. [21:15] Oooh [21:15] MatToufoutu: well, you can send a file with pidgin (or over IRC for that matter) [21:15] ChaosTheory: if anything, unplug ur desktop and plug that into ur ubuntu comp, and log onto irc from pidgin [21:15] Chromium? [21:16] seeks: Thanks! :D [21:16] iositd: hcl what? what should i look for? [21:16] ChaosTheory, don't unjack the router. Unjack the desktop and use that one. Plug a cable from your laptop to the router. [21:16] The labels on tabs at the bottom of my spreadsheets in OpenOffice are INCREDIBLY small -- unreadably so. I've tried to fix it with System -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Fonts, but that doesn't seem to control the fonts in the UI in OOo. [21:16] total respect for you guys [21:16] iositd: Let me look at the cables. . . [21:16] I have my resolution back now [21:16] thanks very much [21:16] No prob. It's a badass game, wish my opengl would work. [21:16] hi all, my Ubuntu find an USB Cam [21:16] Bus 004 Device 004: ID 0ac8:307b Z-Star Microelectronics Corp. [21:16] kebab, that was supposed to trigger a bot response, yet he's dead. Google for the hardware compability list. [21:16] thanks [21:16] tonyyarusso, the matter is that with msn direct file transfer, it's really too slow (i dunno why), so i'm forced to use this for big files [21:16] but when i run camorama [21:16] I'll go and fix the direct rendering now ;) [21:17] MatToufoutu, why not use ssh for file transfer/ [21:17] tonyyarusso, with pidgin i mean [21:17] ? [21:17] could not conect to /dev/video [21:17] iositd: I'm not sure what I should be looking for. . . [21:17] !telnet [21:17] someone cam help me ? [21:17] The labels on tabs at the bottom of my spreadsheets in OpenOffice are INCREDIBLY small -- unreadably so. I've tried to fix it with System -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Fonts, but that doesn't seem to control the fonts in the UI in OOo. [21:17] where is ubotu? [21:17] iositd, it's to use with people that dont know a thing into computers.. :/ [21:17] MatToufoutu: how big? why not just user bittorrent or sftp? [21:17] hell there [21:17] ChaosTheory, you should be looking for a cable that goes from your laptop to your router, and not use the cable that goes between your router and modem. [21:17] MatToufoutu, use a webserver? [21:18] white_eagle, dead again :( [21:18] iositd: There is no cable from my laptop to the router. [21:18] ChaosTheory, i'm asking you to put a cable there. [21:18] ChaosTheory, it's to be able to install the packages needed to compile ndiswrapper [21:18] iositd: And that cable is originally hooked up to the desktop, correct. [21:18] ChaosTheory: yes [21:18] ChaosTheory, then unjack the desktop and plug it on the router please [21:18] Hi, I installed eggdrop, and it's connected and running, but I can't telnet to it, anyone know why?? [21:18] anyone know how to get just pure servers in wolfenstein enemy territory and get rid of the mod that has changed my menu [21:19] hello. I want a command to run every time I log in. Which script should I put it into? [21:19] iositd, well, even when i use direct transfer with them, it seems to be hard for them, so... making them go on a webpage to upload the file etc... never possible :( [21:19] Can anyone help me? I need desperately to get my scanner working. How do I get my scanner up and running. [21:19] iositd: Okay, I have found it. [21:19] ChaosTheory: from scratch.. unplug the cable from the desktop and plug it into ur laptop so that your laptop is connected to the router which is still connected to your modem [21:19] iositd, billy: Okay, I'm unplugging now. . . [21:19] ChaosTheory: make sure to log on to this via pidgin [21:19] ChaosTheory, once your laptop is online, install xchat and come back here please === olegb_ is now known as olegb [21:20] iositd: you can get in here using pidgin [21:20] ok I want to increase the timeout in grub how do I do that? [21:20] billy, yes, i prefer xchat due to easier use and having the default channels being for ubuntu [21:20] where is a startup script for an X login? [21:20] !grub > PurpZeY [21:20] iositd: yeah.. [21:20] #sane [21:20] I have recently installed Ubuntu 7.10 server edition, though I do not like the font face at ALL. How may I change that? [21:20] @ zacky sorry, it took me a minute to double check it.... you're on a livecd, so check here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [21:20] PurpZeY, ubotu is dead. [21:21] I'm trying to boot Ubuntu from a USB drive, but it freezes on boot, and the Ubuntu loading graphic is covering everything so I can't see why [21:21] iositd: For purposes or the bot dead temporarily? [21:21] How do I get pure servers only in wolfenstein enemy territory and get rid of mod that has changed my menu [21:21] Reliant: how big is ur usb drive? [21:21] PurpZeY, i hope temporary [21:21] couple hundred gigs [21:21] Reliant, hit e on the grub screen and remove quiet and splash. [21:21] Ok my work has been pushing for ms software and im stuck using word, excel, and outlook for exchange server, also now ive been told i can use Live messanger with exchange Requiring windows of course...ive been using vmware for handling these small tasks while using ubuntu for these past two yrs but ive been really unhappy with the speed factor since my laptop is really fast too? im trying to... [21:21] ...decide what is better Xen or virtualbox or to reinstall windows and some how integrate ubuntu ontop of windows so i can just make things happier [21:21] I've removed quiet, and splash isn't on the list [21:21] Reliant: uhmm.. i dunno what to tell u [21:22] @ zacky go to the bottom of the page to the "troubleshooting" section. [21:22] Reliant: pendrivelinux.com? [21:22] How do I get pure servers only in wolfenstein enemy territory and get rid of mod that has changed my menu [21:22] do creative sound cards have good drivers on linux? [21:22] It's an existing desktop Ubuntu install from a PC IDE that I'm trying to reconfigure as a USB drive [21:22] iositd: There has to be a bot somehow or rather. . .Usually there's an ubotwo or somefin'. . . [21:22] a simple question based on the marky declarations: [21:22] is it true that the ooxml was approved? [21:22] razorback, the mod is in the .etwolf directory, remove the correct .pk3 file and restart et [21:22] Reliant: check out pendrivelinux.com you might find something useful there [21:22] PurpZeY, yes though it doesn't seem to respond to commands ( ubotu2 is there) === Corty|AFK is now known as Corty [21:23] thanks, billy [21:23] Reliant: cuz i really don't know much about booting from a usb drive, tried it once but it didn't work out too well [21:23] Billy? [21:23] ChaosTheory [21:23] Ok how do i burn Ubuntu using gOS [21:23] Are you the same billy? [21:23] anyone else experiencing dependency-issues when trying to install kde4 [21:23] ChaosTheory yup [21:23] ChaosTheory_, you're back. I presume on the laptop? [21:23] ? [21:23] iositd: Yes. [21:23] iositd: I'm on the laptop. [21:23] ChaosTheory cool [21:23] ChaosTheory_, good. [21:23] sudo apt-get build-dep ndiswrapper-common ndiswrapper-modules-1.9 ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 [21:23] I have recently installed Ubuntu 7.10 server edition, though I do not like the font face at ALL. How may I change that? [21:24] Hm. [21:24] ChaosTheory_, sudo apt-get build-dep ndiswrapper-common ndiswrapper-modules-1.9 ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 [21:24] I'm still here, right. . . [21:24] Strangelet: download additional fonts [21:24] Right. [21:24] Strangelet: right click the desktop, click change desktop background, then click the font tab [21:24] ChaosTheory_, if it complains about sources, run sudo aptitude update. [21:24] how do I install a compiz theme ending in .emerald? [21:24] ikonia: What package is it? and how do I select the fotns from there? [21:25] can i use wildcards in iptables? [21:25] like 213.112.220.* ? [21:25] Acomaco: * maybe? [21:25] Strangelet: use synaptic to search for fonts, restart the xserver and it should be available in the font tool [21:25] iositd: I did "sudo aptitude update." [21:25] iositd: It's still asking for sources. [21:25] I want to ask since i'll get banned from my own server if it don't work xD [21:25] ChaosTheory go into the package manager === Spec is now known as x-spec-t [21:25] ChaosTheory_, sudo apt-get update should give you a long list of urls. Correct? [21:25] from Grub, the recovery option does get me to a console, but I don't know where to go from there [21:26] ikonia: Oh! I am using the server edition! There is no x server. [21:26] how do i select pure servers [21:26] iositd: Yes. [21:26] only yes or not, is it true that the ooxml was approved? [21:26] Uh oh [21:26] Houston we have a problem [21:26] Strangelet: so what are you talking about fonts, as in the console ? [21:26] ChaosTheory_, then follow billy's guidelines to enable extra sources. [21:26] Hello. I am trying to set up the OS disk as RAID with LVM using the 7.10 Install CD. But it showing an error about the kernel being unable to read the partition parameters. Anyone have any idea on how to solve the problem? [21:26] billy: Yes? [21:26] razorback: pure servers ? [21:26] ChaosTheory then clik settings repositories [21:26] elventear: whats the error [21:26] iositd: I've got everything but "source code" checked in Software Sources. [21:27] ChaosTheory_, check again to be sure please. [21:27] New upgrade just popped up with new kernel on my 8.04, however the linux-restricted-modules package doesn't have a new version, so my nvidia driver fails to load. [21:27] yes in enemy territory, i dont want servers that are tampered with [21:27] iositd: Yes, I just checked. [21:27] razorback: how is that anything to do with ubuntu [21:27] ikonia: Could not stat /dev/md/0p1 [21:27] http://en.oreilly.com/ubuntu2008/public/content/home <- my god! look at the price it's rape. [21:27] This is on the message log [21:28] I am using the Server Install CD, btw [21:28] ChaosTheory_, alright. Can you pastebin the output of /etc/apt/sources.list? [21:28] can anyone tell me how to install a compiz theme please? [21:28] I'm trying to install an SAP demo package on Ubuntu Server 7.10, 64-bit. When I launch the install rpm, I get a list of failed deps. similar but shorter than https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/1742. How do I go about getting from component name to package for apt-get? [21:28] evand: ok - use alt+F2 to view the console and try to view that device, I don't believe it will exist as /dev/md$n should be the meta device and volume groups should be /dev/$vg_name/$lv [21:28] Fatal server error: could not create lock file in /tmp/ [21:28] maybe i have gone off on a bit of a tangent [21:28] iositd: Permission denied? [21:28] ChaosTheory: ill let iositd help you from here cuz he seems to know a lot more than i do about this stuff [21:28] sorry [21:28] rbgray: rpm's are not meant for ubuntu operating systems [21:28] billy: Okay. Thanks for all your help. =] [21:28] ChaosTheory, precede with sudo. [21:29] billy, experience is a wise teacher. [21:29] How can i burn ubuntu i am runing gOS [21:29] iositd: Command not found. [21:29] jPratt: we don't support Gos here [21:29] ikonia: of to Redaht or Suse then, I guess :( [21:29] I need to know how to burn ubuntu [21:29] >< [21:29] ChaosTheory, "" sudo aptitude install pastebinit "" [21:29] rbgray: well, the rpm will be built for redhat/suse/fedora/centos - it will be built for one, not all [21:29] iositd: oh yeah.. definately lol [21:29] rbgray: find out what it's build for and use that OS [21:30] see ya guys [21:30] jPratt: we don't support it [21:30] billy, and i don't know everything :-) [21:30] billy, iptables v1.3.3: host/network `213.112.220.*' not found ... should i use -s for it? [21:30] rbgray, RPM isn't for ubuntu. Don't try to use it. [21:30] jPratt, not sure if this will help https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto [21:30] ikonia: thanks, off to Redhat or Suse, I guess [21:30] rbgray, it will more then likely fail. [21:30] rbgray: is the rpm meant for redhat or suse, make sure you know which one as if you try to put the redhat rpm on the suse box, it will fail [21:30] jPratt, but we don't support gOs here. Sorry [21:30] iositd: Done. [21:30] I can't tell, is http://blog.drinsama.de/erich/en/linux/debian/2008040101-renaming-directories.html supposed to be an april fools or is that actually going to be done to the distribution? [21:31] whats the best way to have a transparent terminal over the desktop? conky? devilspie? something else? [21:31] ChaosTheory_, the output? [21:31] iositd: I saw ref to a thing called alien which converts , will that help? [21:31] iositd: Of sudo aptitude install? [21:31] rbgray, it is possible to use it, yet highly unrecommended and more then likely to break your box. Use the .deb or compile from source. [21:31] rbgray: no it won't help [21:31] rbgray: as the dependencies will not be met [21:31] hi hello every body [21:32] where are you from [21:32] ? [21:32] thanks all, I'm outta here (until maybe I setup a home system :) ) [21:32] ikonia: Yah, the fonts in the console. Currently, it looks unpleasant. :( [21:32] no body want to talk to me [21:32] powertool08: compiz-fuson, hold alt and scroll up&down with your mousewheel while the cursor is hovering over the window. [21:32] how do i watch movies in fullscreen in mplayer-nogui? [21:32] nadir_ where r u from? [21:32] nadir_: this is a support channel, for chatting join #ubuntu-offtopic [21:33] do you know if this card will work on ubuntu : http://www.hercules.com/us/Sound-Cards/bdd/p/56/muse-pocket-lt/ [21:33] ChaosTheory_, the install command will have given you output. As will the content of /etc/apt/sources.list. I'd like to see both if possible. [21:33] please, tell me: is it true that the ooxml was approved? [21:33] i am from france [21:33] !ot | anka-ar [21:33] !ubuntu-fr | nadir_ [21:33] ubotu is dead [21:33] :| [21:33] oh :o [21:33] :( [21:33] anka-ar, keep on topic [21:33] http://pastebin.com/m2dacee47 [21:33] okok [21:33] anka-ar: http://www.groklaw.net/ [21:33] :( [21:33] ^ sudo aptitude install, iositd. [21:34] I've narrowed down my USB problem. 2.6.20 works, and 2.6.22 doesn't [21:34] hi [21:34] afreu [21:34] And the next command is /etc/apt/sources.list? [21:34] hi [21:35] ChaosTheory, ==> cat /etc/apt/sources.list | pastebinit (provide link in channel please) [21:36] iositd: http://pastebin.com/m5356bef1 [21:36] Does anyone know how to fix the problem where the titlebar of a window looks messed up sometimes when using the gtk decorator with compiz-fusion? [21:36] hi all [21:36] Just a suggestion, but wouldn't it be nice to include a program with 8.04, called pastebin or something, that pastes input to the ubuntu pastebin and gives you the link ? [21:36] I'll put that one on ideastorm [21:36] iositd: That's the result of "cat /etc/apt/sources.list" [21:36] is there a channel related to the beta? [21:37] plurt: #ubuntu+1 [21:37] oki, thx [21:37] What is the difference between, Kubuntu, Xubuntu and Ubuntu [21:37] jPratt: the desktop [21:37] jPratt, KDE, Xfce, Gnome [21:37] jPratt: the preinstalled desktop environment [21:37] jPratt, in that order. [21:37] ChaosTheory, you have to update it ... system -> administration -> update manager. From there select check and then run the previous command again please. [21:37] jPratt, Ubuntu uses GNOME, Kubuntu KDE, and Xubuntu Xfce [21:37] Ok [21:37] Is that the only true difference? [21:38] jPratt, and you have fluxbuntu to make it complete, which has fluxbox [21:38] Pretty much yes [21:38] JaxxMaxx_, yes it is [21:38] jPratt: but you can post-install any other desktop environment once you installed one of them [21:38] They all share the same package repository, it's just that have different packages preinstalled. [21:38] JaxxMaxx_, yes (well, some programs might differ, but that's all part of it) [21:38] i actually install kubuntu-desktop / xubuntu-desktop to check them all out. [21:38] ChaosTheory_, from where the previous command the one with the build-dep is. [21:39] Does anyone have good experiences with the Asus eee ubuntu derivative? I think I want to replace the Xandros on this thing [21:39] packages: ubuntu-desktop, xubunu-desktop, and kubuntu-desktop [21:39] oh lol it already exists [21:39] xubuntu* [21:39] iositd: Sorry, I don't understand. [21:39] Exodus, don't forget fluxbox :( you make me sad forgetting it. [21:39] fluxbox ftw? [21:39] is there fluxbox-desktop? [21:39] ChaosTheory_, go to the update manager. Make sure it checks for any available updates. If it finds them, install those. [21:39] when i press ctrl alt down, it zooms out (cube desktop), is there a way to adjust the zoom on that? [21:39] JaxxMaxx_, imo yes. [21:39] Exodus, no, just fluxbox [21:39] * Exodus used to use fluxbox a lot, and before that enlightenment. [21:40] iositd: There were no updates. [21:40] * iositd has a real liking for fluxbox [21:40] iositd, fluxbox is sweet. [21:40] ChaosTheory_, did you tell it to manually check for updates? [21:40] iositd: Well, I pressed check. . . [21:40] Exodus, i'm customizing my conky app on the background now ... for some reason all the windows users at school are astonisched by it. [21:40] Hey i need some help =D [21:40] and to check the "brand spanking new" kde : http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-4.0.2.php [21:40] As3: ask [21:41] What would be good for someone Just moving over from Windows [21:41] jPratt: anything, linux is totally different [21:41] ChaosTheory_, ok since it appears there's no other way to do this ==> sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [21:41] I have notices [21:41] jPratt: ubuntu is the most supported over ubuntu/kubuntu/xubuntu [21:41] you should wait for kde 4.1 ;) [21:41] I just can't wait for 'salasaga' (former flameproject) is out, so I can just link people 'macromedia captivate'-like help. [21:41] lol pwuertz :) [21:41] jPratt, just start with Ubuntu [21:41] ChaosTheory_, you'll see a lot of lines that have a link and the line above saying it's been commended out. Remove that line, and the # from the next line. Then save. [21:41] i know [21:41] I have a strange and stupid problem: I used 'cat /etc/issue' in bash to show my version of ubuntu on login, but it breaks the line oddly === jpiccolo2 is now known as [jpiccolo2] [21:42] plurt: breaks the line ? [21:42] <[jpiccolo2]> anyone know how to tunnel vnc though ssh? [21:42] GlenQuagmire: I'll also have to wait for Trolltech&NVidia to fix some severe performance issues until I can use desktops based on Qt4 :/ [21:42] Setup an SSH server, then use putty.exe to set up port redirects. =] [21:42] Hello there [21:42] [jpiccolo2], http://www.revsys.com/writings/quicktips/ssh-tunnel.html [21:42] jPratt, Although I love many many kde apps, I'd recommend you to install ubuntu over the rest, has better support currently. Just remember you can run any kde/gnome application on any other desktop, it'll just load some extra libraries.

[21:51] beat me to it? :) [21:51] :) [21:51] mike-ekim: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [21:52] hobbzilla: if you change it you have to restart the ssh daemon [21:52] uhh [21:52] GlenQuagmire: looks like it is enabled by default [21:52] mike-ekim, maybe you can pastebin the output of lsusb, then people have something to go on [21:53] mike-ekim, pastebin: http://paste.ubuntu.com/ [21:53] hobbzilla: is it putty under windows ? [21:53] how can I change the default kernel in grub?

[21:55] Lamego, so no way at all to read it? except for maybe like a data recovery company? [21:56] dabbill, well, you could try a recovery software, it may be able to read the data skipping the damaged areas [21:57] Lamego, any apps you reccumend for linux? [21:57] dabbill, teskdisk [21:57] hobbzilla: i have no experience with x-ming, but it looks like its started maybe, but not displaying?

[22:03] GlenQuagmire, :) [22:03] luciddream, you're welcome. [22:03] hobbzilla, do you get any error when executing the X client ? [22:03] Lamego, i want to right click and choose encrypt as available in hardy [22:04] GlenQuagmire: XDMCP is broken under Ubuntu 7.10 which may be part of the issue here (if gdm is broken) [22:04] hobbzilla, X11 forwarding does not involve XDMCP [22:04] Hello, how can I get help? [22:04] Lamego: no error that I found. I'm willing to look anywhere you tell me to though! :) [22:04] Lamego thanks [22:04] it is a straight X client app, it should just be piped over the ssh tunnel to the win X server [22:05] hi, @ll [22:05] I just ran 'xclock' but didn't CTRL-C it this time and my PuTTY session just crashed. [22:05] hobbzilla, that is very odd, if you dont get an error, the connection to the X server is beeing established, have you checked xming logs ? there is a logfile option for xming [22:05] due to "Network error: Software caused connection abort" [22:06] When using the gtk decorator with compiz-fusion, my titlebars sometimes get messed up when a window is maxamized. Example: http://i25.tinypic.com/20av4w6.png [22:06] Help?

[22:07] Lamego: is there any additional parameters to pass to enable more verbose logging? [22:07] that is not needed with ssh tunneling, but it wouldn't hurt [22:07] hobzilla, you gotta allow tcp connections [22:07] Say - how do I ensure that all automatically installed packages are removed when I remove the package that caused them to be installed? [22:08] hobbzilla: ssh -vvv -X from cygwin [22:08] dont remember, check the xming command line options [22:08] GlenQuagmire, well, that is verbose ssh :P [22:08] kindofabuzz: allow TCP connections to/from where? [22:08] Draggin i dont think that you can [22:08] Say, does anyone know howt to make samba just use the unix accounts and passwords? [22:08] Lamego: yeah...maybe overdone there.. :) [22:08] kindofabuzz: Windoze firewall & iptables are both off.

[22:21] kindofabuzz: I'm not sure that is the technical verbage... but yes I am attempting to run an "xclock" client on my xming X server. [22:22] actually, I'm _really_ trying to run "VirtualBox" and not "xclock" but that is a different story! :) [22:23] is there any security program that clears cache, internet activity and clears "recent documents" etc? [22:23] Okay! I just restarted xming (for a 3rd time) didn't specify -logfile and left my ssh with x11 tunneling open and ran xclock again. [22:23] is there a repo which hosts firefox 3.0b5?

[22:25] is there any security program that clears cache, internet activity and clears "recent documents" etc? [22:25] hobbzilla: and you should'nt export a display when you tunnel with putty, it shoud say something like this : localhost:10.0 [22:25] i'm telling you, you have to have that setting to false to push X, which is in your gdm.conf [22:25] I have 7.10.

[22:25] k anyone know a movie editor ?!?! [22:25] co0lingFir4, ok :) but i still dont understand what firefox 3.0b5 can do that your current firefox cannot? [22:25] i mean use, for example, 1280x1024 in a 1024x768 lcd? [22:25] haker, lives [22:26] hobbzilla: just try what i said, it has to be false to push X [22:26] <__elemental> chester_m, probably not a good idea [22:26] tomtommy, Lamego: thanks [22:26] GlenQuagmire: I didn't set any DISPLAY var for my PuTTY session with -X option set.

[22:29] ok :) [22:29] i clicked install, selected the theme file, and then it says that the theme was installed, but it wont show up in the theme manager [22:29] btw, I never changed gdm.conf [22:29] thanks anyway [22:29] oh ok [22:29] change it to false [22:29] hobbzilla: you have just enabled x forwarding , without the setting display part in putty ? [22:29] any ideas? [22:30] how do i use ssh for ubuntu with a specific username ? [22:30] GlenQuagmire: not sure I understand your Q. [22:30] GlenQuagmire: I had opened two PuTTY sessions. [22:31] sarah____: ssh username@hostname? [22:31] sarah____, ssh -u username? [22:31] ok thanks [22:31] mine was maybe wrong, trust Starnestommy more ^^ [22:31] GlenQuagmire: one with "Enable X11 forwarding" and one without. [22:31] hobbzilla: in putty you can set X display location. i leave that empty [22:31] ah ok [22:31] so did it work hobbzilla ? [22:31] in the theme manager on ubuntu, i clicked install, selected the theme file, and then it says that the theme was installed, but it wont show up in the theme manager... does anyone know why this is happening? [22:32] GlenQuagmire: In the one without X11 forwarding checked, I specified once authenticated the "export DISPLAY=" [22:32] see you all later [22:32] Ciao! [22:32] GlenQuagmire, can you see x11 with putty ? :O [22:32] Is there a nice way to start a second X server using a different video driver? [22:32] kindofabuzz: It was working after I restarted xming for the 3rd time. I didn't change any gdm.conf or sshd_conf settings anywhere. [22:32] rumplesmigskin i wish i had one working video driver xD [22:32] rumplesmigskin, or even a different desktop manager..:) like kde in one and gnome in another [22:33] GlenQuagmire: I never had set an X display location in the session (and didn't know that was an option -- I usually control that in the .bash_profile) [22:33] hobbzilla: well that's the only way i got mine to work was to change that to false [22:33] how can i use C++ on ubuntu? [22:33] haker [22:33] haker: gedit [22:33] =) [22:33] you write a script, then gcc [22:33] kindofabuzz: I dunno.. All I know is that XDMCP is busted on Gutsy and I would prefer to have that setup as well. [22:34] jagggy, almost every word in that sentence was wrong [22:34] in the theme manager on ubuntu, i clicked install, selected the theme file, and then it says that the theme was installed, but it wont show up in the theme manager... does anyone know why this is happening? [22:34] :) [22:34] kindofabuzz: the VNC remote management ain't cool. [22:34] Daisuke_Ido, i know, sorry, i talk bad english [22:34] kindofabuzz: You have to keep a console session logged in order to connect. [22:34] jagggy: it's ok, i can understand you fine :) [22:34] jagggy, just teasing you :) [22:34] you're doing great [22:35] What is the advantage of using LAMP over just getting a 'free' website managed by others?

[22:35] hobbzilla: yeah i can get XDMCP working, vnc is working flaswlessly [22:35] i really should put more effort in my english, but in school, everything we learn is wrong :s [22:35] jagggy: what country? [22:35] belgium [22:36] jagggy: ah yes. i understand :) [22:36] So... I suppose no one can help? [22:36] i typed example.cpp -o example aint that how u type it? [22:36] jagggy, don't feel bad, i'm in the US and most english taught in primary schools is wrong there as well. [22:36] I'm having some trouble with my sound...my PC has an internal audio card and a Creative CT510 PCI card. I'd like to use the PCI card, but Xubuntu is outputting to the internal card... [22:36] Daisuke_Ido: wrong, its just no one listens to english taught in primary schools [22:36] kindofabuzz: you got XDMCP under gutsy working? [22:37] hehe Daisuke_Ido its really bad here, i mean, if i write decent words they're wrong :s [22:37] does ubuntu have the gnu multi-precision library in its synaptic? gmp? [22:37] hobbzilla: no, just VNC === Byan_ is now known as Byan [22:37] Hi! I can do an arp poisoning using the ettercap`s gtk interface, but I can't do it at command line (don't know how to select "sniff remote connection" at mitm option). How can I do it? [22:37] hey, ubuntu boots, after the ubuntu logo and orange loading bar, etc it says loading kernel, etc and everything, after the screen just goes black..and it stas lke that cd oesnt rnu or anything, etc. whats wrong with it? [22:37] i treid start with safe graphics mode too same thing [22:38] maloax can you describe your installation process? [22:38] Hi. I lost mu Manual Network Configuration widget on my panel; How do I add it back? In the "Add to panel" window, there's the network monitor but not the one that lets me configure. Halplllp :( [22:38] iNoob, been to a primary school recently? it's gone downhill horribly [22:38] Has it? [22:38] Its probably because all the teachers are on drugs now :P [22:38] no child left behind *throws up a little* [22:38] hey [22:39] who isnt'? [22:39] lol [22:39] does anyone have the problem were NetworkManager maxes out their cpu? [22:39] I don't like no child left behind.. the kids that are struggling need a separate class [22:39] i need to restart the process every couple of days [22:39] Maloax: Are you using the Live CD or the installed version? [22:39] AshyIsMe: never experienced that, you using propriatary network drivers? [22:39] maybe [22:39] !ot | iNoob [22:39] i think i have an atheros card [22:39] iNoob: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [22:40] AshyIsMe: Yes, I would suggest updating to latest MadWifi drivers if you have a compatible Atheros card. [22:40] hey can i install ubuntu too by dumping the iso on the eee ssd [22:40] sorry, someone brought it up and i thought i would finish my thought. [22:40] AshyIsMe: you should get Madwifi, or is it maddogwifi, it's for atheros cards i think [22:40] but yeah.. is there anyone here that can help me with my theme problem? [22:40] AshyIsMe: also, if you'd like to wait, Hardy comes with them by default. [22:40] AshyIsMe: if you leave your computer running that long, I'm guessing its a desktop... nm is not needed. Just disable it and configure manually. [22:40] !ask iNoob [22:40] Sorry, I don't know anything about ask inoob - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [22:40] huh? [22:40] ArthurArchnix, it's a laptop [22:41] good afternoon. I'm looking for alternate solutions to fixing flash crashes in firefox using gutsy [22:41] iNoob: heh, please don't ask to ask a question, please just ask the question :) [22:41] ~[ natlinuxnewb ]~ i just pop the cd in, restart, and it bootes. [22:41] !netsplit [22:41] AshyIsMe: Wow. [22:41] pistoria: that pretty much happens to everyone in my experience. if there's a fix i'd like to see it [22:41] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [22:41] pistoria: forums.mozillazine.org is agood place to start [22:41] Maloax: What monitor do you have? [22:41] ArthurArchnix, why is that surprising? [22:42] ArthurArchnix, it's my main comp at home, i never really move it [22:42] i asked the question a couple times and no one acknowledged it :P but here it is: in the theme manager on ubuntu, i clicked install, selected the theme file, and then it says that the theme was installed, but it wont show up in the theme manager... does anyone know why this is happening? [22:42] iNoob: please just wait a moment. sometimes people need to research a question so it takes a minute. [22:42] Ok. [22:42] ~[ natlinuxnewb ]~ i just pop the cd in, restart, and it bootes. [22:42] !info rhythmbox [22:42] Package rhythmbox does not exist in gutsy [22:42] thats what i was afraid of. i've seen adding an extra line in xorg.conf, or changing display settings, and still nothing. i'll check out that forum, thanks [22:43] AshyIsMe: Ah. Ok. So why not do away with network manager altogether? You'd just need to change the setting back to roaming mode if you did move it. But while it's at home if you disable roaming mode then you can configure manually. Maybe your problem will disappear? [22:43] oh, if only we were that lucky === neuro_ is now known as OldManSmithers [22:43] iNoob: you're on gutsy i assume? and can you further describe "theme manager"? is this with metacity? === OldManSmithers is now known as neuro_ [22:44] huh? [22:44] anyone else find the system very sluggish when using rhythmbox. it uses lots of cpu up [22:44] ok the theme manager is found in System>Preferences>Appearance, and yes its metacity [22:45] keit1: I don't use rythym box. I use exaile. Sorry. [22:45] hmm still stuck with xmms i gues [22:45] guess* [22:45] iNoob: very sorry, honestly i use Emerald so i'm not that familiar. [22:45] how do you use emerald? o.O [22:45] ArthurArchnix, i'll try that, thanks [22:45] thanks everyone [22:45] iNoob: install compiz, #compiz-fusion [22:45] hey, ubuntu boots, after the ubuntu logo and orange loading bar, etc it says loading kernel, etc and everything, after the screen just goes black..and it stas lke that cd oesnt rnu or anything, etc. whats wrong with it? [22:45] i treid start with safe graphics mode too same thing [22:46] i already have that, and i have the emerald theme too [22:46] Maloax: What monitor are you using? Is this the first time its happened? Could you successfully load ubuntu before? [22:46] natlinuxnewb first time, no i never did load it successfully on tihs (tihs is a laptop) hp pavilion dv9000 [22:46] iNoob: well then compiz is not running currently. do you have DRI enabled? (find out by "glxinfo | grep direct") [22:46] hey guys. I'm currently on an Intel Core2duo using Ubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386.

It's a HP pavilioon dv9000 thats what it says on the monitor it's a 17" widescreen [22:48] I'll ask again... Does anyone know how to add the network configuration widget back to the panel..?

[22:48] thanks kindofabuzz. I've also noticed that no programs seem to be able to launch links in firefox [22:48] hey all, newbie here. i downloaded some packages and am trying to use to install them but i can't seem to figure it out. i've checked various "how to's" on the net but i'm still confused. any help? [22:49] anyone built a driver for a edimax wifi card? [22:49] bobbo85: the line that says sudo ln -s /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins/* . make it /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/*. [22:49] rico , sinds you have a 64 bit processor , you should use amd64 [22:49] Maloax: you HP laptop uses a NVIDIA GeForce Go 7200 card. Have you upgraded to the latest drivers? [22:49] hey, my system seriously underperforms.... it takes 10 minutes from power on to a usable gnome desktop, and it takes 2 hours of idleness before the hard drive stops going crazy... Saving simple Text files takes a few seconds, just about every program regularly blocks... [22:49] AntiWeja: There's two that I know of. One is installed by default in ubuntu. To use that one, just set your card to roaming mode >system >administration >network then pick card, and set to roaming. If it's already set to roaming then add the system tray to the panel. [22:49] and my system is a 2GB Ram dualcore Laptop.... [22:50] elTigre: sounds like you have xgl running. do you recall downloading/installing it? [22:50] ArthurArchnix: is it fast? [22:50] Ok probably a stupid question. But for some reason my 'make' and 'make install' doesn't work. How do I fix it? [22:50] elTigre: what does cat /proc/cpuinfo say ? the mhz [22:50] well I think I tried once, but I used aiglx last time I tried to use 3D Desktop [22:50] Steven2: sudo apt-get install build-essential [22:50] ~[ natlinuxnewb ]~ No, this use Nvidia GeForce Go 6150 -- Yes i have all updates installed, i did hp update and everything is good [22:50] keit1: ???

[22:51] Hi, has someone tried to compile linux-kernel 2.6.25-rcX on 8.04? Here after make install_modules the dir /lib/modules/2.6.25-rcX is about 450Mb in size and the initrd is also very large (about 46Mb) -- This seems a big large is. I used make oldconfig to configure the kernel [22:51] how do I know? [22:51] evermind-: ubuntu+1 channel for hardy support [22:52] Oh... yes, it's very good in many respects, if you have less than 5,000 songs you should use it for sure. But use the version from the website. The version in the repositories is badly out of date. === _Vermux is now known as Vermux [22:52] GlenQuagmire, but I'm not using AMD. would that be fine? === RT|AFK is now known as Randomtime [22:52] <_`icwalkin> Is thisc channel for all buntus? [22:52] rico it should work fine [22:52] keit1: ^^ [22:52] _`icwalkin: it is [22:52] <_`icwalkin> k [22:52] All supported ones, except hardy [22:52] elTigre: you'll know because if you have it, when you go to remove it it will ask you if you're sure, if you don't have it it will tell you it's not installed. [22:52] xserver-xgl was not installed [22:52] <_`icwalkin> hardy ? [22:52] <_`icwalkin> lol [22:52] bobbo85, maybe this command will help. sudo aptitude install libxul-dev [22:52] ok :) [22:52] ikonia: thx [22:52] yes. 8.04 LTS Hardy Heron [22:52] no I didn't mean you icanhasadmin [22:52] elTigre: I see. when you boot up do you get a splash screen or is it just black untill login screen? [22:53] Daisuke_Ido, how do I know? [22:53] Maloax: Ok. my bad. was reading off a website. Good on the updating. What version is the linux CD?

[22:54] <_`icwalkin> lol [22:54] trying to make my computer dedicated to email [22:54] icanhasadmin: that's the problem.... there are mostly no programs consuming more than 10 or 20 % [22:54] ~[ natlinuxnewb ]~ ubuntu-7.10-desktop-amd64.iso [22:54] <_`icwalkin> dammmit [22:54] <_`icwalkin> too many logins [22:54] <_`icwalkin> lol [22:54] sarah___: any imap and smtpy server, sendmail, postfix, exim, dovecot, postfix [22:54] GlenQuagmire: i remember when my spec was top-end visual workstation -- lol :) [22:54] icanhasadmin_: but the "waiting" portion is about 60-90 usually [22:54] ikonia thanks [22:54] frequency scaling switches between 800 and 2 GHZ on both cpus [22:55] smtp server comes default with ubuntu? [22:55] anyone ever heard of momolight or atmolight before? [22:55] keit1: then maybe amarok is better for you. But exaile's performance should be better than rythym at anyrate. [22:55] <_`icwalkin> Aval0n : nope. [22:55] elTigre: that's extremely strange. you running off an external harddrive? [22:55] thanks un0p, after installing libxul-dev, I now get this error: symbol lookup error: firefox-bin: undefined symbol: NS_LogInit [22:55] k [22:55] Make is still not working.

[22:55] icanhasadmin_: no [22:55] ArthurArchnix: yeah waiting for kde4 to mature a little till trying it out again [22:55] Steven2: you need to run make in a directory with a make file in it [22:55] by now for example, the system is relatively quit [22:55] quiet [22:55] Steven2: try cd src; make [22:55] keit1: times fly, when you're havin fun ! it goes pretty fast yes. im also working on bare-metal-scrap over here :) [22:55] bobbo85, uh oh, no idea what that is -- which version of firefox? [22:56] I have ubuntu server not DNS registered and multiple ftp users, but how do I access the accounts via the url [22:56] 3 beta 5 :-) [22:56] why when people type back to me do I see keit1 instead of keito? [22:56] but when I start running programs or surfing or something, I feel like on a five year-old PC or worse [22:56] LOL elTigre [22:56] 5 years old? [22:56] keit1, because that's your nick. [22:56] keit1: because your name is keit1 [22:56] TMcD: that doesn't make any sense [22:56] i had mine since 99 with no hardware upgrade ok? [22:56] Maloax: Heres some reading for you. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=512059. Ill do some more searching see if theres anything about your specific problem. Reason I asked all those questions before was I had a black screen problem same place in one of my installations. What you have is different to mine prob but similar. [22:56] WheelsOnFire: Well then the program install is broken then. Because I'm trying to run it in the directory for the install. [22:56] mine sounds like a rocket when i run more than 3 programs [22:56] well whatever I could afford 5 years ago I mean ^ ^ [22:56] keit1: Yeah. Exaile is the gnome version of amarok. Keep in mind, that exaile considers itself adequate to about 20,000 songs. http://www.exaile.org/wiki/index.php?title=Exaile:Faq [22:56] GlenQuagmire: no my nick is keit o with and oh not one! strange [22:57] WheelsOnFire: All of the installs that I run are like that though. [22:57] * DOOM_NX eipa feugw feugw feugw, 8a vrw allh gkomena, na mai egw kala mwro mou kai apo gunaikes NA! [22:57] i wish i could afford a new computer elTigre [22:57] Steven2: make is for compiling the source. it needs a file called Makefile which tells it what to do [22:57] keit1, bite the bullet and just use amarok [22:57] sorry keit0 , strange indeed, im reading keit1 :D [22:57] keit1: You should try the latest. But amarok will work fine on gnome. Just needs a few libraries. Not a big deal. [22:57] Ok heres the thing I can ftp into the server but the files I place go nowhere near the place I can access them on the web [22:57] I think it has something to do with Disk IO [22:57] WheelsOnFire: Well the install doc said to run ./configure make and make install. [22:57] i know, i know, wahhhh, i dun wanna use anything kde, but if it works, there's absolutely no reason NOT to use it... [22:58] <_`icwalkin> Daisuke_Ido : why? [22:58] TMcD: a URL is not a local directory [22:58] does anyone run a ircd from their ubuntu? [22:58] TMcD: the file path on the URL will start from your ftp root [22:58] sarah___: yes [22:58] _`icwalkin, why what? [22:58] i googled ns_loginit it seems to have something to do with xul, so i am installing all of the packages in synaptic that come up when i search for libxul [22:58] might try amarok again at some point. hated the way it had it's own database for cover-art though -- who idea was that?! [22:58] Steven2: yes I know how to build from source. [22:58] oh...huh that makes some sense then [22:58] Steven2: you know how to pastebin? [22:58] WheelsOnFire: Well it doesn't work. None of them do. [22:58] keit1: i use mysql with amarok :) [22:58] <_`icwalkin> Daisuke_Ido: I didn't understand what you just said [22:58] keit1, you can set it up to store cover art in the folder with the albums [22:58] works pretty nice [22:58] keit1, you could try Listen or Quodlibet [22:58] WheelsOnFire: No. [22:58] ikonia do you lease from a dedi server? [22:58] elTigre: your issue is very strange to me. i'd have to suggest someone who is more experienced than myself to help :) [22:58] GlenQuagmire: perhaps coz i didn't register my nick? [22:58] <_`icwalkin> keit1, maybe [22:59] sarah___: no [22:59] Steven2: pastebin.com paste the results of ls -R [22:59] ok... [22:59] <_`icwalkin> Αποχώρησε [22:59] well I am running out of angles to try [22:59] Steven2: it's a website so that you don't flood this channel with a whole bunch of lines of code [22:59] this hdparm thingy got me confused, too [22:59] _`icwalkin, was just referring to some gnome users' absolute refusal to use anything kde (and vice versa) [22:59] Daisuke_Ido: already have *most* cover art [22:59] ikonia so why run a ircd on your ubuntu. I run unreal ircd on my ubuntu, but only on "local" [22:59] im just learning it thats why [22:59] keit1 , yes maybe. or try change it /change keit0 [22:59] Steven2: so you temporarily post it on a website and give me the link [22:59] _`icwalkin: thats the 4rd time you've done that, can you please stop, this is english only [22:59] I think I have a scsi drive or something (sda etc) [22:59] <_`icwalkin> Daisuke_Ido, ohh! Anyays I thought you said something else [22:59] elTigre: fdisk -l [22:59] <_`icwalkin> ikonia: first.

[23:00] sarah___: yes [23:00] did somebody tried to boot from a ltsp server with qemu? [23:00] keit1, try BMP or XMMS or MPD [23:00] adac2: from kvm yes, not quemy [23:00] wheelsonfire: sda1,sda2,sda5 [23:00] i cant figure out what good moduels to add to make it secure [23:00] ikonia: i read unreal can be "unsecure" if you dont load certain moduels [23:00] elTigre: that would be sata (or scsi) [23:00] sarah___: depends on your server and your needs. [23:00] i just installed a game called Savage. it will not Startgame after installing it. i have the terminal output of the failure data. can someone take a look at it. it might be easy to fix. thanks [23:00] ikonia: do you know a good tutorial perhps? [23:00] Hello! I have a problem with my software sources. When i type "sudo apt-get update", i get this message "temporary failure resolving server_name" many and many times. [23:00] true [23:01] Just did an upgrade and am having dependency issues with cupsys, can anyone help me? [23:01] Any idea ?

[23:01] wheelsonfire: so how can I make that thing work better? [23:01] sarah___: what do you want from me [23:01] ikonia: ok..thx anyway [23:01] Hello [23:01] WheelsOnFire: I think this is the link. http://pastebin.com/pastebin.php?dl=d3ae1d49a [23:01] moez: the sources.list doesn't try to load http://server_name/ does it? [23:01] how to setup a good unrealircd.conf :P [23:01] Can someone assist me with openoffice.org? [23:01] keit1, amarok, exaile, songbird, rhythmbox, and banshee (in that order) [23:01] keit1, I like listen and quodlibet, mpd is nice too but i don't know it but you should try all :p [23:01] elTigre: what's your problem? [23:02] sarah___: I'd discuss that in unreal support groups === keit1 is now known as bladerunner [23:02] ok [23:02] wheelsonfire: my system regularly is in about 90% or more "waiting" [23:02] hah, ok installing libxuldev causes one error, installing xulrunner removes libxuldev, fixes the error, and causes a new one! [23:02] no #unreal for freenode!? [23:02] <_`icwalkin> whats Ubuntus offtopic channel again? [23:02] wheelsonfire: and the performance is really really bad [23:02] _`icwalkin: #ubuntu-offtopic [23:02] sarah___: I don't know [23:02] like 10 minutes to boot [23:02] can someone help me.. Savage the linux game wont start up. terminal says stuff. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61959/ [23:02] Daisuke_Ido: Exteris: tried all but exaile quodlibet, mpd will have to give them a razz [23:02] troxor : Yes, it's the name of the server i mean (for example : security.ubuntu.com) [23:03] elTigre: tell me please the mb/sec of your sda [23:03] can someone please help me with my wireless adaptor? I followed this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=400236&page=4 but still cannot get it to connect [23:03] and I can recall when I installed ubuntu it was a lot better (2x2 GHz 2GB Ram) [23:03] bladerunner, just keep exaile's limits in mind... [23:03] elTigre: hdparm -t /dev/sda [23:03] Steven2: you sent me a link to download the file, just tell me the link of the page it's posted at [23:03] how do I shut down gnome properly? [23:03] log out [23:03] 40.24 Mb/sec [23:03] elTigre: that's not too bad [23:03] moez: can you ping it? can you ping your nameserver? either of those by IP? try `dig @nameserver server_name` [23:04] hm [23:04] WheelsOnFire: Did you see the link? http://pastebin.com/pastebin.php?dl=d3ae1d49a [23:04] Does anyone know of a CLI screenshot program which can take screenshots of a true terminal? Without X [23:04] that's not the correct link steven [23:04] I also have to stop beagled and gdl_indexer [23:04] tobberoth: import, xwd ? [23:04] but then how do I log in to shell instead of gnome again? [23:04] because they make everything even worse [23:04] Steven2: let me pastebin something so you can see [23:04] !netsplit [23:04] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [23:04] Daisuke_Ido: Exteris: I want more than is available at present.. it make me wanna delve deeper into development! I want cover-flow to browse _all_my_music_ easily [23:04] tobberoth: er, sorry, no.. fbdump or somesuch [23:04] Hi, i modified my ubdatedb.conf to not prune /media, but calling updatedb still does not index my drive at /media/external [23:05] troxor: Thanks, I'll look it up [23:05] Daisuke_Ido: Exteris: someone should create some plugin for amarok [23:05] guess he left [23:05] elTigre: run the command top and find out what is hogging your resources [23:05] WheelsOnFire, might be because of the netsplit [23:05] bladerunner, or for Listen or some other player [23:05] HI! [23:05] how can i make a program start up when i loggin [23:05] troxor : dig ? [23:05] Exteris: yeah, it would be sweet [23:05] bladerunner, you may be interested in amarok 2 [23:05] at the moment nothing, but at startup its gnome-panel [23:06] moez: yeah, it's good for diagnosing name service problems [23:06] Daisuke_Ido: i'm interested in it all bro [23:06] and after I can work with the desktop it's stuff like beagled [23:06] and gdl_indexer [23:06] jk_: be clear if you want it to happen every time you log in or everytime anyone logs in or only once when only you log in or only once when the computer starts, etc... [23:06] then I kill that off.... [23:06] bladerunner, looks like amarok 2 has a coverflow-like feature [23:06] troxor : command not found [23:06] Maloax: Let us know if something helped in there? [23:06] Daisuke_Ido: music to my ears! [23:06] I don't know I don't use gnome [23:06] it's still early alpha though [23:06] and currently everything works fine...... [23:07] WheelsOnFire, is firestarter the firewall. I keep having to start it everytime. in windows i would just stick it on start up list [23:07] * bladerunner wants to know what the ISO were thinking!!!! ??? :/ [23:07] jk_: I don't care what you did in windows [23:07] elTigre: try running : sudo dmidecode | grep "Current Speed" | head -n 1 [23:07] jk_, welcome to linux. it's all closed by default anyway [23:07] Maloax: Theres also this http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-273767.html [23:07] jk_: you still haven't answered my question [23:07] firestarter is NOT a firewall [23:07] any ideas about updatedb not indexing? [23:07] jk_: add it to your sessions! [23:07] moez: it's in the dnsutils package [23:07] it is a frontend to iptables [23:08] what do i need to open this website?? ?http://www.pandora.com/ [23:08] jk_: and firestarted is a way of editing you iptables [23:08] if I plan on upgrading to 8.04 LTS (server use) when it's released, would it be better to install 6.06 LTS or 7.10 right now? or does it not matter? [23:08] linkinxp: a web browser? ;) [23:08] what do i need to open this website?? http://www.pandora.com/ [23:08] WheelsOnFire, i only compared to windows for explanation and clearity. [23:08] linkinxp, well, i'm guessing a browser. [23:08] troxor, LOL [23:08] no! guys [23:08] linkinxp: don't spam [23:08] GlenQuagmire, 800 MHZ [23:08] elTigre: there it is [23:08] im meant (sorry) PLugins [23:08] jk_: comparing it to windows makes it more confusing because I don't use windows [23:08] elTigre: just the dynamic scaling i said :) [23:08] the frequency usually goes up to 2 GHZ usually [23:08] troxor : I can't install packages, when i try "sudo apt-get install something", i get "Couldn't find package" [23:08] rawb I'd have thought upgrading from 7.10 would be easier than from 6.06 [23:09] linkinxp: the page is html [23:09] jk_: just answer the simple question of when exactly you want it to run as I asked and you will get a good answer [23:09] elTigre: hmm, ok, its not constantly on 800 mhz ? [23:09] ikonia, javascript? [23:09] GlenQuagmire: giggidy giggidy ... alright [23:09] WheelsOnFire, ok, i want a program to start up when i login [23:09] no it isnt [23:09] ONLY YOU? [23:09] troxor : This is because the system can't reach the servers specified in the sources.list. [23:09] bladerunner: :) [23:09] GlenQuagmire: sorry, just had to [23:09] or anyone? [23:09] WheelsOnFire, yes [23:09] linkinxp: just html here [23:09] and I have 2 cores, too [23:09] ikonia, it uses something else that i dont have therefore i cant open it [23:09] Hello [23:09] so if you log out and back in you want it to run twice then? ok got it [23:09] ikonia, which browser are u using? [23:09] private [23:09] linkinxp: firefox [23:09] so usually both are chilling.... it's the "waiting" portion that worries me... [23:09] linkinxp: firefox should tell you of any missing plugins [23:09] Hi, could someone tell me about the status of tcp_lp.ko kernel module in Ubuntu? I am not running Ubuntu in my system. [23:09] ikonia, me too and i doesnt open [23:10] moez: ok, try this- determine your name server by doing `cat resolv.conf` [23:10] ikonia, nop [23:10] linkinxp, you need flash [23:10] and it works great [23:10] WheelsOnFire, i thought if you logout everything closes, so it would not run twice [23:10] <[_`]mewok> SunilGhai : what are you asking for ? [23:10] Daisuke_Ido, hummm ok ok [23:10] Hmm, seems that lynx doesn't like downloading tarballs [23:10] Daisuke_Ido, thanks [23:10] at the moment everything is fine... maybe because I forcably killed beagled and gdl_indexer [23:10] that was actually the first useful non-ubuntu-related link i've seen here :D [23:10] tobberoth: it has no problem doing that [23:10] jk_: linux is a multi user OS, just logging out doesn't close everything in the system [23:10] <[_`]cDray> lol daisuke [23:11] ikonia: Mine just crashed or something while "downloading" a 130k tarball.. [23:11] jk_: you can certainly add it to the 'sessions' settings in your gnome desktop. this will cause gnome to run it when you log in [23:11] no one to help with my updatedb question? [23:11] hi all - quick question with 64bit ubuntu - 71.0 desktop [23:11] troxor : Result => "nameserver 192.168.1.2" this is the static address i specified when i install the server. [23:11] tobberoth: I've used it regular [23:11] <[_`]mewok> now3d : repaste it [23:11] first 64bit OS...i've got 4 gig of RAM but only 3.4 shows.... [23:11] elTigre: try setting them on 2000mhz constantly and check the performance ? sudo cpufreq-selector -c 0 -f 2000000 && sudo cpufreq-selector -c 1 -f 2000000 [23:11] WheelsOnFire, add it to sessions, got it [23:11] just remember, the universe works on a math equation... [23:11] any ideas? (brand new dell that came with 4 gigs..) [23:11] jk_: you aren't very clear about what you want because you aren't aware of the 20 or so different things you are categorizing as one, since you are from the land of windows which has about 3 total options [23:11] pdxkid: show me uname -a please [23:12] moez: are you using your own nameserver? [23:12] linkinxp, thank you for that :D [23:12] 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Tue Feb 12 02:46:46 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux [23:12] troxor: it's his adsl router which will forward to the isp resolver [23:12] [_ `]mework: I want to know does latest version of Ubuntu package tcp_lp.ko kernel module? [23:12] <[_`]cDray> AWAY. === [_`]cDray is now known as kkenny[A] [23:12] pdxkid: please show me cat /proc/meminfo [23:12] ikonia: I press the link and it downloads or something.. then it says "/bin/tar tvf -" in the status bar and nothing happens. [23:12] ikonia: ah, thx [23:12] Daisuke_Ido, like it? its pretty good [23:12] jk_: because really, there are many different things that people mean when they say the same thing 'start when i log in' [23:12] moez: the cheap way is just to use opendns ;) [23:12] troxor : No, i just specified a static IP to reach the server from the outside. [23:12] MemTotal: 3354908 kB [23:12] pdxkid: you may want to put that in a passtebin [23:12] jk_: anyways, what else can I do for you [23:13] pdxkid: can the bios see all 4 gig [23:13] ikonia - do you needi t all? [23:13] all the cat /proc/meminfo i mean.. [23:13] yea, bios sees it all [23:13] free -m [23:13] ?---------  ? ?      ?                ?                ? Reality [23:13] much nicer =] [23:13] pdxkid: thats quite odd/annoying [23:13] How come I get that when mounting with sshfs? [23:13] troxor : But, my router have a static IP address, why should i use opendns ? :) [23:13] Reality is the name of the mountpoint directory [23:13] hm seems to be better now... [23:13] Daisuke_Ido, when its loading (for me) its frozes :(( [23:13] ikonia - tell me about it! ha [23:14] ubuntu 8.04 beta keeps looking for updates and displaying the icon notifying that updates are available even though i've disabled automatic updates [23:14] pdxkid: show me lsb_release -a [23:14] new pc too...just finishing the installs/customization and i noticed it [23:14] hit google and ubuntu forums [23:14] moez: in case your ISP's name server is as reliable as mine ;) opendns is pretty good, at least as a backup [23:14] make sure you install flashplugin-nonfree and completely restart the browser [23:14] im trying to uninstall several apps in wine and even went on virtual c drive and deleted but the apps are still there!! how do i force the comp to uninstall them? [23:14] WheelsOnFire, there was this other one, how can i make certain folders hidden (not single ones) for instance folders starting with u and how to make them not hidden. i am not sure if you get what i mean [23:14] Daisuke_Ido, i think i installed let me see [23:14] how do you add a user to samba? [23:14] No LSB modules are available.....Description says Ubuntu 7.10 Release 7.10 Codename: gutsy [23:15] Daisuke_Ido, yes is installed [23:15] troxor : Yes, it's true. Good idea! [23:15] billy, smbpasswd username [23:15] jk_: there really is no truly hidden files first of all. but most programs will not show directories or files starting with '.' by default [23:15] pdxkid: very frusting, all looks fine [23:15] pdxkid: can you show me uname -a [23:15] jk_: so the short answer is just put a . before the name [23:15] pdxkid: it scrolled off screen last time [23:15] jk_: wut about passwrd? [23:15] 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Tue Feb 12 02:46:46 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux === patrick_ is now known as newyorkerjj35 [23:16] pdxkid: thats REALLY odd [23:16] i did see something in the forums about adding a 4gig memory line in Grub [23:16] jk_: just to get it out of the way.. linux doesn't have something equivalent to the "hidden file" attribute of windows.. not as far as I know at least [23:16] is that needed for 64bit? [23:16] i couldn't find a place that showed me the syntax either.. [23:16] pdxkid: nah, shouldn't be needed === patrick_ is now known as newyorkerjj35 [23:16] jk_: if you really want to, you could create a folder you can't open until you change it.. but it will give you an error message I think.. [23:17] WheelsOnFire, i know the "." but how do i do it for several folders. i am aware they are not completely hidden, cctr+h shows them [23:17] troxor : so, any idea for my problem ? I have just installed Ubuntu Server, i modify the soucres.list file and i remplace his content with this file (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/CommandLine), then, i type "sudo apt-get update", but i have many errors. [23:17] jk_: if you mean that you want all folders in your system to automatically be 'hidden' based on whatever their names contain, that's extremely complicated because you have hundreds of different programs to list files with and you would have to tell all of them to not list the dirs get it? windows = 1 huge p.o.crap program, gnu/linux = hundreds or thousands of programs [23:17] ikonia .. i am going to reboot and verify bios [23:17] pdxkid: good call [23:17] jk_: I have no idea what cctr+h is [23:17] i wasn't specifically looking for it before as trouble shooting....just enjoyed seeing it on the first bootup of a new PC [23:17] jk_: did you mean ls -a ? [23:17] thanks for your help - much appreciated! [23:17] hey i installed gutsy on my laptop (was running xp sp2) i have touch sensitive volume controls, and no matter how high i turn em up i can still barely hear anything out of them, how do i fix this? [23:18] pdxkid: not done anything, your doing the sensible things [23:18] year ctr+h yeah ls -a [23:18] i mean yeah not year [23:18] im interested in the answer to newyorkerjj35's question as well [23:18] moez: can you ping the servers in your sources.list? [23:18] ikonia - even friendly folks to bounce ideas off of help :) [23:18] later.. [23:18] Is there a log/history kept anywhere of my cpu temperatures over the last while...? [23:18] jk_: you are fresh to linux, I can tell you still think as if you are on windows =] [23:19] everyone leaves after they talk to me haha [23:19] WheelsOnFire: thats bad advice [23:19] !lnw ¦ WheelsOnFire [23:19] I didn't give any advice [23:19] I've seen people on the forums saying they can play zelda on ubuntu. And there are nes emulators in the repos... but how does it all work? [23:19] !lnw [23:19] Want to know the differences between Windows and Linux? This guide, called "Linux is Not Windows" is a pretty good read -- http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm [23:19] you should read what I said again =] [23:20] whoops X) [23:20] WheelsOnFire: sry dude [23:20] np man =] [23:20] i need help with samba.. how do i add a user? [23:21] troxor : No, "unknown host" [23:21] Paddy_EIRE: as a sign of good faith I will share with you a bash trick [23:21] i installed gutsy on my laptop with touch sensitive controls, however even if i turn the volume up all the way i barely hear anything out of my laptops speakers, how do i fix this? [23:21] billy: I think samba has it's own set of user utils.. smbpasswd is one.. I think they all start with smb* [23:21] WheelsOnFire: :) [23:21] Paddy_EIRE: you don't know this one yet it is obscure [23:21] Slart: ya but how do i use those utils? [23:21] go to terminal and type out but dont press enter: cp target source [23:21] ArthurArchnix: they might have been playing a link to the past :) [23:21] notice the order is incorrect [23:21] billy: well.. man smbpasswd will get you some info [23:22] moez: ok, put this line in resolv.conf --> "nameserver 208.67.222.222" [23:22] let me know when done [23:22] moez: before any other lines that have nameserver [23:22] Khisanth: :P [23:22] Paddy_EIRE: this is for you I'm talking to [23:22] troxor : But now, i'm connecting to the server from an other machine, so if i change the address, i will be disconnected, no ? [23:22] does anyone know a quick and easy way to get rid of the suspend/hibernate buttons on logout for all users (even new users that get created)? [23:23] WheelsOnFire: 1 sec while I run it by the ops [23:23] ArthurArchnix: but apt-cache search nintendo shows several nes emulators as well [23:23] How odd, I found an image viewer for the framebuffer, fbi. It only works in alt+FX consoles though, not in screen. Is that normal? [23:23] while you run what by the ops? [23:23] teamcobra: You need to open gconf with gksudo and then create a new default key. In order for that to work, you'll need to know the key in question. [23:23] moez: resolv.conf is just for DNS resolution [23:23] I'm showing you a bash trick, it doesn't matter what you type in just any three words [23:23] ArthurArchnix: ah missed the last part, you would need a copy of the ROM from the cartridges [23:23] type in... apple1 apple3 apple2 [23:23] how do i add a user in samba? [23:24] billy: smbpasswd -a username [23:24] troxor : You are genius my friend ! It works ! [23:24] my evolution is seg-fauting what do I do? [23:24] WheelsOnFire: I'll let the ops verify if you are being malicious or not ;) [23:24] troxor : My update works. [23:24] troxor: i get an error when i do that tho [23:24] Steven2 what does the readme say you need as deps? This one at a time piecemeal method will get old fast [23:24] Paddy_EIRE: are you new on linux ? [23:24] moez: great! your other nameserver (192.168.1.2, iirc), probably wasn't working.. so the new one (OpenDNS) did :) [23:24] Steven2 they are the library headers that allows you to compile apps that use the X server [23:25] you're back! [23:25] billy: what's the error? [23:25] thanks ArthurArchnix [23:25] WheelsOnFire: just show the darn bash trick man :P [23:25] troxor : Everything work fine. Thank you ! [23:25] WheelsOnFire: no [23:25] moez: no prob, have fun [23:25] finally someone interested [23:25] yes yes ! [23:25] troxor: one sec [23:25] Damn Pidgin crashed [23:25] troxor: New SMB password: [23:25] Retype new SMB password: [23:25] Failed to modify password entry for user wbreslin951 [23:25] I downloaded the latest TAR of Azureus and extracted it to where I want it installed and ran ./azureus from the terminal. But when Azureus starts up the terminal needs to remain open. Is there a way around this? [23:25] ok so here it is, you type in for example cp target source ~oh whoops I want to switch those last two words~ [23:26] now press ESC-T [23:26] yes you read that right [23:26] Nikrud: Did you say anything? Cause Pidgin crashed on me. [23:26] presto you just learned a kick ass bash trick [23:26] compliments of me, proprietarysucks [23:26] WheelsOnFire: that's awesome... sweeet =) [23:26] troxor: ? [23:26] WheelsOnFire: dude, great :) i didnt know that one :) [23:26] nice huh [23:26] hey, can someone help get my evolution to work, It just crashes when it opens I have the terminal out put in this pastebin url http://pastebin.com/m49db9e0b [23:27] WheelsOnFire: Is that originally an Emacs command, or did they take it from the UNIX terminal? [23:27] !samba [23:27] Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

[23:27] I think it's old school [23:27] Steven2 must not have been able to handle the flood of missing people rejoining us. X includes are the library headers that allow you to compile apps that use the X server, just as the zlib1g-dev headers allows you to compile stuff that uses compression [23:27] !toribash [23:27] Sorry, I don't know anything about toribash - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [23:27] !nfs [23:27] nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS.

[23:27] billy: hmm, what kind of passdb backend are you using? [23:28] nikrud: I didn't see any of that in there. [23:28] Paddy_EIRE: did you do it yet?? [23:28] troxor: wuts that? [23:28] NeoJew: add an ampersand at the end, run it in screen, or use the run dialog of your favorite window manager :) [23:28] Steven2 xserver-xorg-dev [23:29] WheelsOnFire: sorry 2 secs I have a moody niece :S [23:29] nikrud: Installing [23:29] is it possible to boot my usb installed ubuntu with a livecd, because the machine i'm on can't boot usb from bios [23:29] Hi! Hoe can I enable the ATI binary X.Org driver for my graphics card. My desktop is totally filled with dots arranged in a chees table like mode. [23:29] word1 word3 word2 (press esc-t) --> word1 word2 word3 [23:30] billy: the backend for storing user passwords [23:30] troxor: i have no idea [23:30] anyways I'm off to smoke, have fun.. I have lots of little tricks like that =] [23:30] nikrud: It still says that it cant find 'x includes'. [23:30] Steven2 then try xorg-dev , I tried to get you the minimum [23:31] troxor: I tried the ampersand and it's still keeping the terminal open. When I try to launch it from a window manager, it just runs it with terminal [23:31] how do I find what my LAN ip is in ubuntu? [23:31] iNoob: ifconfig [23:31] is it better to install desktop or server edition? [23:32] iNoob: ifconfig shows you the ip etc of your network interfaces.. [23:32] !hardy [23:32] Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 24, 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE BETA SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu [23:32] erUSUL: thanks [23:32] iNoob, ifconfig | grep inet the first number on the left [23:33] NeoJew: add "& exit;" at the end instead, then? heh [23:33] arthus: well.. is it better to drive a big car or a smaller one.. [23:33] hi guys [23:33] iNoob: sorry about that. something came up. as far as the window problem you can either alt+f2 and then emerald replace, or use the "disown" command to gain your terminal back [23:33] troxor: passdb backend = tdbsam [23:33] what should I do here? "ATI binary X.Org driver cannot be installed on your computer type (i386). Either the application requires special hardware features or the vendor decided to not support your computer type. " [23:33] billy: samba needs a usermap, iirc.. i.e. the user you're trying to add has to exist in the /etc/passwd file [23:33] oh that worked, icanhasadmin_, thanks [23:33] Frodolix: try installing fglrx manually? [23:34] Slart: lol. My situation: I have a spare box I would like to have a server on. I'm not great at Linux or command prompt, but I'm not a noob either. It'll essentially be a server. [23:34] troxor: how do i put that there? [23:34] billy: you can add users that aren't on the system, but you have to use a smbusers file or somesuch [23:34] How can I block access from the other users account to my home folder? I'm the only administrator. [23:34] !ati | Frodolix [23:34] Frodolix: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [23:34] canhasadmin_: I am new to ubuntu how can I do that? [23:34] arthus: I'm not entirely sure about this.., but I think the only difference between the server and desktop version is that the server version doesn't have gnome/kde installed by default [23:34] nikrud: That time is said it didn't find libjpeg or QT. So I'm installing a bunch of QT stuff. [23:34] DarkSpirit221: set stricter permisions on your files/folder home folder [23:35] billy: this is the page I got started with samba on. it's a great reference http://www.samba.netfirms.com/ [23:35] arthus: I use a regular desktop version for my server.. (via mini-itx box with 256Mb memory).. it runs nicely [23:35] when I try to launch a link in liferea, I get this error: Error showing url: There was an error launching the default action command associated with this location. Any ideas? [23:35] erUSUL: How? [23:35] thanks troxor [23:35] Slart: right, I'll try Desktop [23:35] billy: np [23:35] DarkSpirit221: with nautilus the file manager for example [23:35] arthus: and you can always shut gnome down if you don't need it.. services and such will still be running [23:36] arthus: good luck =) [23:36] Thanks Troxor, that worked. Any idea why this is happening though? I'm pretty noob at Linux, so maybe I'm not installing it right? [23:36] DarkSpirit221: right click on your home folder>Properties Permisions Tab [23:36] nikrud: It reads: 'checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 2.2.2) (headers and libraries) not found. Please check your installation!' [23:37] erUSUL: After that? [23:37] Hello, I am trying to run WUBI on windows Vista, I went through the installer and nothing on reboot, so I made it through Easy BCD and now there is an entry on boot but when I go to it, I end up at a blank grub prompt. Any Help? [23:38] DarkSpirit221: well i think is pretty easy set the permisions you like and press the button to apply the permisions to files contained on the folder (in this case your home) [23:38] NeoJew: simple answer: it's expected behavior :) === Traveler2 is now known as Kasuko [23:39] Hello, I am trying to run WUBI on windows Vista, I went through the installer and nothing on reboot, so I made it through Easy BCD and now there is an entry on boot but when I go to it, I end up at a blank grub prompt. Any Help? [23:39] oh [23:39] I had that before [23:40] NeoJew: helpful answer: something has to run every process, and a terminal can do all of them (essentially) === ajmorris|AFK is now known as ajmorris [23:40] Perhaps it didn't complete downloading [23:40] NeoJew: most complex programs are launched by shell scripts, which iirc, azureus uses [23:40] Thanks Trox [23:41] figured out the link opening problem (hits self in head) - system->preferences->preferred applications had "ubuntu sensible browser" not "firefox" [23:41] NeoJew: np [23:42] How can I add programs like Azureus to Ubuntu's list of programs so it shows up when I try to set .torrents to open with it and be in the Applications menu? [23:42] hello i tried to install handbrake from source and i did but now after it downloaded its stuff and installed them and after i installed some dependencies i cant get a few programs to work such as pidgin and amsn also my cpu monitor is reading high usage percentages in all 3 of my monitors including top [23:42] NeoJew, I can help you with that [23:42] Cause the Package manager makes everything so clean, but installing it myself seems kind of jerry-rigged [23:42] icanhasadmin_: how do i get back to the other window manager? [23:43] iNoob: metacity --replace [23:43] thanks :) [23:43] Damnit. What do I need to get ./configure to work? It keeps coming up with errors at the end. [23:43] :) just share the wealth [23:43] NeoJew: for applications: right-click the menu>edit menus and create a launcher pointing to your application, wherever you whant [23:43] NeoJew, to add azureus to the list of "open with" programs, just right click a .torrent file and click "properties" - then go to "open with" and pick azureus. It should set that as the new default, as well as leave it in the list of programs when you right click and hit "open with" [23:43] Steven2: please describe the errors? and did you install build-essential like i suggested? [23:44] NeoJew: to add azureus to the context menu, you could also have a look over nautilus-actions [23:44] NeoJew, if you want to add azureus to the applications menu on the panel, right click the panel where the word "applicatoins" is, click "edit menus" [23:44] Thanks SliMM and bobbo85 [23:44] Does anybody know anything about packet injections? [23:44] icanhasadmin_: Yes I did. The error(currently) is: checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 2.2.2) (headers and libraries) not found. Please check your installation! [23:44] For more details about this problem, look at the end of config.log. [23:44] can someone help me with my wireless usb adaptor? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=400236 followed that guide, no luck getting it to connect to my router [23:44] jacob_: hopefully handbrake didn't clobber any system files along its way [23:44] No problem [23:44] is there a difference between testicles and testes? [23:45] np :-) [23:45] 3rd time ... Help Please ? Update Manager problem on Gutsy, pasted at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61956/ [23:45] i ask cuz im doing an assignment for hw on steroids btw [23:45] deniz__: neither one is really good here [23:45] icanhasadmin_, lol, but its a fairly easy question [23:45] well most of the other things work but is there a way to see what it installed and what i installed [23:45] deniz__: i don't think this is the right channel for that [23:45] deniz__: Isn't testes the singular form of testicles? [23:46] Steve2 [23:46] Steven2, thx ill check if ur lead or wtv is right [23:46] Steven2: Testes, is another plural form of testicles isn't it? [23:46] come on, there must be others that have problems with youtube fullscreen in 8.04 using a geforce 8800gt [23:46] Steven2 was away for a sec, install libqt3-mt-dev [23:46] Steven2: please don't encourage chat not about ubuntu in this room :) your problem is you need Qt installed [23:46] ahh... my AWN is gone now.. how do i get it back? [23:46] Don_Miguel: can you post the packages to pastebin? or, better yet, in a terminal, run `sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade` and paste the output of that? [23:46] Steven2: yes exactly, sudo apt-get install libqt2-mt-dev [23:46] iNoob: Applications>Accessories>Awn Window Navigator [23:46] nevermind.. i think i got it [23:47] Steven2: may i ask what it is you're trying to compile? [23:47] Antireligion: #ubuntu-1 for 8.04 [23:47] jacob_: unless it's a package, tracking down where all the files went probably won't be easy [23:47] icanhasadmin_: koncd. But the problem is with compiling anything. [23:47] Antireligion #ubuntu+1 is handling 8.04 questions until release [23:47] #ubuntu+1 [23:47] jacob_: that's the purpose of package management :) [23:47] sorry [23:47] Hmm, whenever I try to view a .cgi or .pl file, it gives a 403 forbidden error (Apache2). I added http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61897/ to /etc/apache2/apache2.conf [23:48] All of my perl scripts are chmodded to 777 too [23:48] Steven2: odd, you shouldn't need Qt for ANYTHING, but ok... please follow previous instructions :) [23:48] Steven2 your issue is getting the necessary support libs for the things you want to compile. You're slowly getting the ones for this app, and you need to do the same for anything you compile [23:48] trollboy, yea is there a way to view recent downloaded packages? [23:48] anyone have problems with youtube fullscreen in 8.04 using a geforce 8800gt [23:48] ? [23:48] trollboy, sorry wrong person [23:48] Antireligion / #ubuntu+1 [23:48] sorry [23:48] libqt3-mt-dev I already installed. [23:48] troxor: Will try that ... will have to be in a few more minutes ... thanks ! [23:48] ugh.. whenever i do metacity --replace, it disables compiz [23:48] wrong window [23:48] hi all, I'm trying to boot Ubuntu 7.10 on my PC but it says X server crashed and will be restarted in 2 mins... the PC is a dell dimension 530, any ideas? [23:48] and vice versa [23:49] I installed as much of QT as I could find. [23:49] iNoob: you may need to compile and run fusion-icon using git, go to #compiz-fusion for more info [23:49] iNoob if you want the metacity like borders, try gtk-window-decorator --replace [23:49] troxor, is ther a way to view recently downloaded files in synaptic package manager? [23:49] Can anybody point me to a how to on converting avi's to mp4's? The ones coming up in google aren't helping much. [23:49] jacob_: I'm not sure about synaptic, but you can check /var/log/dpkg.log [23:50] ok thanks [23:50] warriorforgod: try ffmpeg [23:50] SliMM: What is a good front end for ffmpeg? [23:51] warriorforgod: i don't really know; try gnome-terminal :p [23:51] It's odd that the creators of Ubuntu wouldn't include all that you would need to compile source don't you think? Otherwise what are you going to do when they aren't debs? [23:51] yea thats alot of files [23:52] nikrud: that worked, thanks [23:52] Steven2: That's not really a question for here, but the answer is the average user never has to compile anything in their lifetime. it's just more bulk to add to the install [23:52] will there be a new wine version out soon with sorted keyboard issue? [23:52] Steven2: Plus, which packages do you install for compiling? there are just too many to include them all [23:52] warriorforgod: http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/projects.html <-- check out the mencoder frontend section [23:52] Steven2 get the -dev stuff you need. No reason to clutter ubuntu systems when only a small percentage will be doing compiling [23:53] "volume control" can not open, who can i fix it? [23:53] Does anyone know of a good framebuffer browser? I know of Zen, but that isn't in ubuntus repositories [23:53] tobberoth: w3m? [23:53] Starnestommy: I'll look it up, thanks [23:53] Steven2: sudo aptitude install build-essential [23:53] warriorforgod: try winff [23:53] I guess I'll just do a search in synaptic and download anything that has -dev in it. [23:53] marx2k: he's way past there, just having issues with other dependecies [23:53] ah [23:53] marx2k: I got that already. But thanks. [23:53] Steven2 don't [23:53] Steven2: lol, that's alittle over the top my friend [23:54] nikrud:icanhasadmin: Well I need a list of what I need then. Because otherwise I have to get EVERYTHING. [23:54] Steven2: it will tell you when you try to compile [23:54] warriorforgod: http://www.winff.org/ [23:55] Hello love, I am excited, I am very pretty and if you want to see me naked by the webcam, [23:55] adds my msn: angie_sexy_cam@hotmail.com (only if you send text messages or calls) [23:55] is it possible to mount hard drive across my network [23:55] Hello love, I am excited, I am very pretty and if you want to see me naked by the webcam, [23:55] adds my msn: angie_sexy_cam@hotmail.com (only if you send text messages or calls) [23:55] Jennifer_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:55] Wow that makes sense [23:55] icanhasadmin: It just keeps saying I need Qt >= Qt 2.2.2(headers and libraries). [23:55] icanhasadmin: But I downloaded all the Qt I could see.
