[00:00] jj_galves: use the 32bit ubuntu lol. with the newer version of most linux distro's intrepid included there realy isent a need for 64bit os [00:00] ?nvidia [00:00] hi i can i have a dual core laptop with 3 gb ram but i run a 32 bit Windows can i download and install a 64 bit linux? [00:00] does anybody know about this issue? http://news.softpedia.com/news/Linux-Kernel-Regression-in-Ubuntu-8-10-Upgrade-Now-96839.shtml [00:00] jj_galvex: still nothing. startx gets no screens detected [00:00] mikel: this has been tested under wine? [00:00] xaris: if your processor is a 32bit proc it will run 64bit ubuntu but again no need [00:00] xaris: yes you can use linux 64 bit if you already have win32 [00:00] xaris: if the laptop is 64bit you can run 64bit linux on it. === drnk-e is now known as DRNK-E [00:00] kholerabbi i used wine 1.1.2 and it worked fine [00:00] Can someone PLEASE help me view wmv files in Ubuntu 8.10??? I've tried everything :P [00:01] i'm having problems getting flash working in ubuntu.. i've installed the flashplugin-nonfree package and that pulls down with it nspluginwrapper.. is this correct? [00:01] cloud-ieee: installed mplayer? [00:01] anyone have ideas to troubleshoot a partition not mounting @ boot on a server? [00:01] ? [00:01] hello ubu guys [00:01] Any tips for the 8.10 way to install nvidia video drivers? or should I just pull nvidia's installer? [00:01] Zamba, Mplayer gives me an error. [00:01] unr3a1: sorry I'm out of ideas, hopefully someone else with more insight will pipe up [00:01] i want help with my songbird installation [00:01] cloud-ieee: you probably need the win32 codecs [00:01] Then i stay i 32 bit :) [00:01] What about how to fix intrepid that will not load gnome gui. Just sits there with whilte screen. Help [00:01] Zamba, already installed win32codecs [00:01] Lars_G> use envy-ng [00:02] Tnanx [00:02] Lars_G: I used envyng -t last night and it worked fine [00:02] HELP, can anyone give me a link to the default sources.list in intrepid I accidentally wiped it [00:02] :P [00:02] mercutio22: package? [00:02] I'll check it out [00:02] jj_galvez: yea... I will probably end ip posting on linuxquestions [00:02] linux 8.10 is ok>? [00:02] end up* [00:02] I just dont get why this would happen [00:03] the upgrade was supposed to upgrade around my current configuration [00:03] monkeyman: you may not have the proper video drivers [00:03] Is there any way in aptitude to make all "Auto" packages as manual? [00:03] Zamba? :( [00:03] ahh figured it out > gnome-panel-screenshot --delay ARBITARY_INTEGER [00:03] unr3a1: I had alot of trouble initially too, although mine was just going into low graphics mode not just so at least I had a graphics screen [00:03] I get nothing [00:04] xaris: intrepid is great it recodnised my hardware better than any distro thus far but if your running on a lappy i would check the bugs posts as ome lappys (including mine) seem to run very slow in intrepid [00:04] I did the restricted codecs bundle and everything [00:04] unr3a1: have you tried to use an old xorg.conf file, there are usually a few old ones in your conf one of them might give you a start [00:04] yea, still didn't work [00:04] so any ideas why intrepid runs so slow on the CQ50 series laptops and others? iv read this is a common problem. What makes these laptops so different that they dont run the same? [00:04] I backed up my original xorg file [00:04] Amarok or Songbird? [00:04] tried loading that, but still nothing [00:04] All previous versions of ubuntu have worked with my system. I think what messed everything up was the upgrade inself which stalled out on me. Ended up doing a command line install and saw it happen. I bet I have to do a clean install. That stinks [00:04] shad0w0fsin, try running system->admin->software sources, and rebuilding it that way [00:04] :-P [00:04] mikel ubuntu or opensuse? [00:05] does anyone else have any ideas? [00:05] mikel: do you recommend the slowest write speed..? [00:05] kholerabbi: always [00:05] unr3a1: and your video driver is being loaded? can you see it with lsmod? [00:05] my x-server is not loading. it says, that there are no screens detected and it says I cannot connect to the server [00:05] kholerabbi: i wrote at full speed but its up to you (slow CAN be safer) [00:05] xaris: ubuntu always [00:05] jj_galvez: haven't checked that to be honest... [00:05] let me check, brb [00:05] mikel the interface? [00:05] :P [00:05] xaris: never used suse tho but iv tried redhat [00:06] xaris: ubuntu's interface is insanly user friendly [00:06] nickrud: thanks [00:06] who was i talking a few min ago about the desktop switcher settings [00:06] mikel i tried download 64 bit but when i finaly download 4.3 Gb and go to install it says that i dont have a 64bit computer W?oW [00:07] jj_galvez: I am in command line. it scrolls way to fast for me to see the whole lsmod [00:07] 4.3Gb? xaris what distro? [00:07] opensuse [00:07] unr3a1: try lsmod|less [00:08] xaris: no clue man im a ubuntu user and this is ubuntu's tech chat lol [00:08] ok, brb [00:08] mikel i know:P [00:08] xaris: ubuntu= less than 700Mb and is great [00:08] is there a control panel like kcontrol from KDE for Gnome [00:09] xaris: also 32bit linux distro's nowdays are kindof pointless === mrono is now known as Mrono [00:09] xaris: i meant to say 64bit [00:09] mrono, I think gnome-control-center is what you're looking for [00:09] mrono, gnome-control-center IIRC [00:09] mikwl are you sure?> [00:09] mikel :0 [00:09] xaris: bout what? [00:09] Mrono, but it's really only a frontend for the system menu, so i don't see the point [00:10] 64bit [00:10] jj_galvez: I see a "video" module, but nothing that has "ati" in it [00:10] Recommended desktop feed reader for ubuntu? I use Google Reader, but would like to check out something desktop-based [00:10] ConstantineXVI, it's nice for the initial setup of a desktop, but you're right, after that it just gets in the way [00:10] i have install songbird deb file apperas in the menu but doesn't open [00:11] Need help installing SYNERGY, please PM me if you will help me. thx [00:11] RickZilla, lifera and blam are okay, but greader blows them away IMHO [00:11] RickZilla, liferea straw and blam are all ok [00:11] unr3a1: check with lshw that will give you a list of your hardware, and should tell you the name of your driver too [00:11] xaris: most linux distro's (including intrepid) have the ability to install ia64-libs in order to run both 64bit code and use more than 4 gigs of ram the only difference beetween them is there is more compatability for 32bit OS's now and there are no programs which totaly utilise more than 4 gigs of ram [00:11] i have installed songbird deb file apperas in the menu but doesn't open [00:11] nickrud, the menus get in my way period, gnome-do FTW :) [00:11] hay algun español que entienda sobre tarjetas intel para ubuntu? [00:11] ConstantineXVI: Thanks, that's good to know...don't want to fix what isn't broken, but I thought I'd just see what's out there [00:11] kk [00:11] ew, gnome-do ;( [00:11] let me do that, brb [00:12] fyi, can't use errors=remount-ro with xfs [00:12] in fstab [00:12] gnome control panel is and isn't what i was looking for [00:12] Ronoa: mi espanol no es muy bueno [00:12] alt-f2 rules ;) [00:12] !es | Ronoa [00:12] :O [00:12] Ronoa: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [00:12] ok, how do i set the desktop switcher to change desktops when i move my mouse to the edge of the screen [00:12] ah ok, gracias [00:12] Mrono, what task are you trying to do? [00:12] thx [00:12] mikel i run vista and WoW its boring to death..:P [00:13] xaris: whats that gotta do with the OS lol === _spiderz is now known as spiderz [00:13] Mrono, install brightside for metacity, or make changes in ccsm for compiz [00:13] Meh envyng crashes [00:13] Nice that MS just gave up on Vista...I bought a laptop with it shortly after it came out [00:13] I really don't mind using nvidia's installer... or the packages if you tell me which are the right ones [00:13] Seriously thinking about making it an ubuntu laptop now [00:14] mikel i have an issue about how call the Linux Linox or lainoux....? [00:14] RickZilla: great choice! [00:14] xaris: wha!? [00:14] ;p [00:14] i am from greece [00:15] ok, i need the stupid's guide to installing ubuntu on a flash drive(memory stick). [00:15] xaris: the word linux is dirived from the term unix being mixed with the name linus [00:15] and i don;t know how cal [00:15] I have just switched to Ibex, I have a Dell e1405 computer. I have now realized that my arrow keys (and possible other keys) are fail. Any advice? [00:15] Stargazer: Is that not going well? I'd thought of trying out that feature myself [00:15] jj_galvez: I see the product, and it tells me how it is configured, but no driver info [00:15] mikel is an where i can listen the name linux? [00:15] to know ;p [00:15] xaris: lyn ucks [00:16] xaris: or lin icks [00:16] Hi, I had a windows partition when I installed ubuntu, and I tried to resize it during installation but for some reason the resize failed. I just left it at it's current size and installed ubuntu on a different partition however now it can't seem to mount the ntfs filesystem or read it at all. There are some files that I need to retrieve from the partition, what's the best way to do this, if it's even possible? [00:16] RickZilla: i've read a few guides and they look uber complicated. do you have any simple ones ? [00:16] λινουξ [00:16] Xaris: tomato tomoto [00:16] csilk: Can the UI problem be due to graphics driver (I use nvidia 96.xx beta) [00:16] unr3a1: well I'm out of ideas, hope someone else with more knowhow can give you a hand [00:17] alright [00:17] thanks for everything [00:17] amews_aj, Honestly I'm not sure why you're having that problem [00:17] !gr [00:17] #ubuntu-gr και #kubuntu-gr για Έλληνες χρηστές / #ubuntu-gr kai #kubuntu-gr gia Ellhnes xrhstes [00:17] this mad suXX0rs [00:17] csilk: But do you think it could be driver related? [00:17] so any ideas why intrepid runs so slow on the CQ50 series laptops and others? iv read this is a common problem. What makes these laptops so different that they dont run the same? [00:17] xaris redhat 5 had a sound check utility that was Linus pronouncing linux, might still be around [00:17] amews_aj, I'd of thought it was theme related [00:18] does anyone else know what I Can do to get into x-server? [00:18] xaris: reason why the pronunciation is so important to you lol [00:18] csilk: But resetting does not help... [00:18] amews_aj, if it was a graphics problem then I'd of thought it would affect other things aswell [00:18] unr3a1: what seems to be the problem === phish is now known as phish2 [00:18] has anyone had the window border issue? [00:18] mikel smt too do..... [00:18] vitamin-carrot_, what is the window border issue? === phish2 is now known as phishnev [00:19] csilk: the funny thing is that I see all text behind the window for a second when I minimize it [00:19] mikel: I get an error when doing startx that says I have no screens detected, and then says it cannot connect to x-server [00:19] xaris: lol goober [00:19] how do I stop the apps I've recompiled from being upgraded? [00:19] in 35 min i have to whait so sous ;p\ [00:19] un3a1: what drivers are you using and what video card and computor model? [00:19] favro-> you can install the ones you compiled in a different directory [00:20] ConstantineXVI: sometimes the title part of the window grays out like it loses the theme but if you hover your mouse over the min, max or close buttons it comes back [00:20] unr3a1: what drivers are you using and what video card and computor model? [00:20] favro-> then have your directory preceed any of the regular path in $PATH [00:20] n8tuser: they are installed in /usr/local and are the only ones showing in synaptic as having upgrade options [00:21] tsrk: hmmmm I'm just something of a noob.. But I've noticed if windows is closed down while it is booting... or failed somehow than ubuntu might have a hard time with the ntfs partitions. But for me it has been fixed by going into windows and letting it do all it's own error checking, and then shutting it down correctly. [00:21] k [00:21] mikel: imgburn is giving me errors on W 10:14:53 Sector 42483 maps to File: \casper\filesystem.squashfs [00:21] mikel: its a gateway 7422gx using an ati mobility radeon 9600/9700. I upgraded from 8.04 and was using linux compatible linux drivers. [00:21] kholerabbi: during burning? [00:21] favro so you'd get one installed via synaptic and your version [00:21] favro, if you have them in usr/local, they should be found on the path before the system ones; otherwise you can use the equivs package to make a dummy [00:21] Hallo [00:21] n8tuser: seems silly to have two of 'em [00:21] mikel: this is imgburn integreaty check After burning [00:21] My first Ubuntu version ever was Hardy Heron. How do I upgrade to the new version? [00:22] how do I burn an audio CD with wodim ? [00:22] unr3a1: have you tryed booting into recovery and trying the fix x server option? [00:22] !upgrade | plouffe [00:22] plouffe: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [00:22] favro-> its also seem silly for compiling another [00:22] mikel: no I have not [00:22] !burn [00:22] CD/DVD Burning software: K3b (KDE), gnomebaker, brasero, serpentine, graveman, Nautilus-CD-Burner, GToaster, xcdroast (GNOME), wodim (terminal-based). Burning .iso files: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto [00:22] Thanks DaSkreech [00:22] Anyone knows how to use Wodim? [00:22] Kholerabbi: you either have a bad iso or the lens on your burner is very dirty or going bad [00:22] Anyone here use Synergy2, If you can help me get mine running, please PM me. [00:22] unr3a1: try that and come back [00:22] ok [00:23] fix xserver? [00:23] anyone having sound issues with Audigy 2 on 8.10? [00:23] that is the option? [00:23] mikel: There is alwasy shiptit :P ......... I'll just restart and give it a go. Thanks for your help I probably won't be back on today. [00:23] and mid5sum checks it out as ok [00:23] soo close [00:23] mikel the official helper :p [00:23] kholerabbi, how about the disk check on the disk itself? [00:23] but not quite, ccsm isn't what i was looking for [00:23] unr3a1: yes you should just be able to select it and hit enter and it's automated [00:23] kholerabbi-> also let your cdrom drive cool off for a few after burning, sometime i find mine erroring too after it got warmed burning [00:23] alright... [00:24] be back soon hopefully [00:24] nickrud: well I'm just doing that know. n8tuser: before I try booting the disc? [00:24] it lets me double click at the edge of the desktop and switch, but i can't just move the mouse to the edge of the screen and change desktops [00:24] I have my soundcard set up properly and can hear sound when vlc plays, but I cannot hear any sound from audacious or Listen - I can hear sound when I use aplay. Anyone have any thoughts? [00:24] n8tuser: he's been having many problems burning on multiple progs and times the disk will boot but its broken [00:25] hi, i updated to 8.10 through network upgrade today and when i reboot, the process now hangs at: "Running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local)" after the screen flickers a few times. anyone know what might be wrong? [00:25] jikuty, I'd guess that the X server config is bad. Do you get a command prompt after failure? [00:25] nope [00:25] Mrono, using the cube? [00:25] Huh I found out why envyng was dying :D [00:25] i can force it into one using an F+ combination though [00:26] FF 3.1 beta x86_64 anybody ? [00:26] Mrono: in the compiz settings manager there is an option under rotate desktop cube that enables rotate on mouse curser [00:26] jikuty, good. Take a look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log , that will probably tell you the errors (look at the end) [00:26] found my own answer if anyone else comes asking about audigy 2 on 8.10 give them http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5902515 [00:26] ok, what should i be looking for? [00:26] is it safe to download the adobe reader from adobe's site? [00:26] the word "fail" ? [00:26] Mrono, CCSM -> Desktop Wall -> Edge Flipping -> Edge Flip Pointer [00:26] saul? [00:26] jikuty, less /var/log/Xorg.0.log shows it. And whatever it says faild ;) [00:26] mohbana, thingk so, but why would you?/ [00:26] mohbana-> yes, i've used it [00:26] alright - i'll be back :) [00:27] ConstantineXVI, it's newer [00:27] What is the name of the qt dev package? [00:27] mohbana, i meant as opposed to evince? [00:27] ConstantineXVI, rendering is way better [00:27] OzoneNerd-> apt-cache search qt and take your pick from the list [00:27] hm - actually, gotta run for about 20 minutes.. i'll have to investigate then [00:27] thanks for the tip though [00:28] how do I burn an audio CD with wodim ? [00:28] so any ideas why intrepid runs so slow on the CQ50 series laptops and others? iv read this is a common problem. What makes these laptops so different that they dont run the same?

[00:35] DaSkreech, no, it an mp3, or and file with auidio, played louder in windows [00:35] mynyml, just as bad [00:35] mynyml, adobe == flash === boku is now known as matx [00:35] !find ntfs [00:36] can i do a dpkg -l from 32-bit intrepid and then install that in 64-bit intrepid?

[00:36] Mrono, that will do it [00:36] ConstantineXVI: i thought it had gotten better on hardy? i thought maybe some hack was used on install or something.. [00:37] a less graphic intensive way [00:37] ConstantineXVI: Great piece of software.. I'd agree. UPenn student started it [00:37] hall4450 , what you want ? [00:37] also are the 32-bit libs for 64-bit standard? [00:37] scientesss-> you can try maybe it will work, i wish you luck [00:37] techqbert, have you used it's OSX inspiration, quicksilver? [00:37] should 8.10 be available in update manager? [00:38] Not yet [00:38] Timbo: only if you select "normal releases" [00:38] ah ok [00:38] it'll be there then [00:38] Scientesss, there's no delay on the edge flipping, so as soon as my mouse hits the edge it flips [00:38] it was there for me today [00:38] Timbo i would suggest a fresh install, lest you like to spend time troubleshooting [00:38] really annoying when i'm trying to scroll through something [00:38] how do i download swf files from web page to my computer [00:38] I did some googling, and I dunno if you guys have had a lot of it... but I just ran the upgrade from xubuntu 8.04 to 8.10 [00:38] n8tuser: possibly a good idea [00:38] and pretty much everything was uninstalled for some reason [00:38] Oh, i had check it yesterday , but nothing show out [00:39] i've been upgrading since 7.04 or 10 [00:39] ConstantineXVI: some people report it works great: http://art.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=956893 [00:39] is this documented or reported? [00:39] my upgrade has gone haywire [00:39] Timbo is a brave man ;) [00:39] !flash ripper [00:39] Sorry, I don't know anything about flash ripper [00:39] i just installed ubuntu over windows, and the volume seems much lower. is there a way to fix this? [00:39] nickrud: it actually works fairly well [00:39] so I have pretty much no network drivers, or graphical desktop [00:39] mikel: http://rafb.net/p/i8BsYN28.html [00:39] much better than upgrading debian releases ever did anyway [00:39] !swf ripper [00:39] Sorry, I don't know anything about swf ripper [00:40] mikel: that is the error I am getting [00:40] I'm ok with a command line, but new to ubuntu, what shoudl I be doing to get the show on the road? [00:40] anybody know how to download swf from web [00:40] runpain2, I've found flash stuff in mozilla cache. [00:40] thread_au1: run for your life!

[01:19] I *DON'T* want it to connect, that's the whole reason for the Alternate CD [01:19] Azhi_Dahaka-> calm down [01:19] Visual effects stopped working for me after I upgraded to 8.10 even though it's worked in 8.04 [01:19] I'm having an issue with video. I installed intrepid, then I installed nvidia-glx-177. My Xorg.0.log says "Fatal error, no screens found" [01:19] But I have tried both default xorg.conf and nvidia-xconfig one, both have a screen defined [01:19] i have dual core e8400/2gb ram/nvidia 8200. i saw some forum threads about problems with nvidia 8200...not the same problem but maybe ubuntu just has issues with this card [01:19] JFo: Yeah, I'll repeat myself. 550 FPS in Intrepid, 1000 FPS in Hardy. Benchmarking with glxgears. [01:19] Hi - Trying to install Dropbox plug-in for Nautilus - Added necessary lines to " /etc/apt/sources.list " but not sure what name to use in " sudo apt-get install (tried "dropbox" here) - but said Package not found - Any ideas ? ? [01:19] i never made a username, what would it be? [01:19] techqbert: I actually don't use OpenVPN tbh - but thx still! ;-) [01:19] on the install? [01:19] Sorry, but I find it ridiculous that the CD doesn't do what it is suppose to. [01:19] hmmm, not sure about that, let me check something [01:20] Azhi_Dahaka-> look into uibiquity and or debootstrap - in how those two are used for installs [01:20] nite_johnboy: you have to sudo apt-get update [01:20] ok [01:20] ubiquity rather [01:20] whn i boot, it says i need to config video card/ monitor...no matter what i do from there its same result [01:20] somtimes when I right click a link on firefox a "page bookmarked" dialog pops up instead of the regular right click menu [01:21] mercutio22, I think that is a bug, I get it too === shinjii__ is now known as Shinjitsu [01:21] comicinkerl, I did that command 1st before install command [01:21] I just got Proxomitron working good via Wine on intrepid. Started experimenting with this kind of proxy filter to deal with ads (on Galeon or Epiphany). Seems like Firefox, Opera, Konqueror already have adequate filters (esp. Firefox). Is Proxomitron more trouble than it's worth in linux? [01:22] The weird thing is that the installer ASKS if I want to connect to the network... but in the best Windows Fashion, ignores my selection and decides that it wants to connect [01:22] JFo> are you using the regular firefox theme? [01:22] partisan11, have you looked into privoxy yet? [01:22] should i upgrade or stay at .04? [01:22] partisan11, it' [01:22] hi, i was in here a little earlier - after upgrading to 8.10 through network upgrade, my system hangs when rebooting at "Running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local)". i checked the /var/log/Xorg.0.log as suggested, and found that the following modules failed to load: vesa, synaptics mouse. also, i noticed that grub shows that i'm still using kernel 2.6.24 when i select my ubuntu install from the bootlist... anyone have any ideas? [01:22] partisan11: epiphany has the adblock extension [01:22] !upgrade [01:22] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [01:22] partisan11, privoxy does the same thing, and it's linux native as well [01:22] comicinker: Also went back to check etc file and lines to update were there [01:23] mercutio22, yeah [01:23] Thanks Constantine, jrib. [01:23] JFo I will report that then [01:23] guys which codec can I use to run .flv files..? [01:23] J-_, I see several bugs on it, but I am still digging to see when the milestone is [01:23] !flash | rodolfo [01:23] rodolfo: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [01:23] mercutio22, cool [01:23] nite_johnboy: then you have either the wrong source or you use a wrong package name [01:24] JFo: Cool, thanks. Do you think such milestones will overcome soon? [01:24] nite_johnboy: try apt-cache search dropbox [01:24] rodolfo i do think ive seen them playavle in mplayer/vlc befor. :) or ya could convert them with some tools. [01:24] J-_, no idea. I'll let you know what I find [01:24] Dr_willis, this is not about the flash player for browsers. this is about the .flv file itself [01:24] hi. i am having trouble instaling ubuntu. when i boot, i pick install then it says something like "checking battery [ok], running boot scripts [ok]" and there's a blinking cursor and its just stuck there. nothing happens. when i type something, nothing happens [01:24] bamboo: im having the same problem [01:25] comicinkerl: ok [01:25] Hi [01:25] Anyone on here use YouTube's Quick Capture? [01:25] Dr_willis, that I belive it has nothing to do with flash player, once I want to run the .flv files using totem [01:25] rodolfo, i believe gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg does the job [01:25] ConstantineXVI, OK gonna check it out^^ === anomaly is now known as Guest90343 [01:26] J-_, I found a bug on it freezing in #d apps [01:26] not sure if that would be along the same lines as what you are having [01:26] but it is the closest thing I see [01:26] <_2> jikuty & bamboo alt+left/right see if the other tty's are active/usable [01:26] For some reason when I run YouTube's quick capture everything works fine, but when I hit the "record" button the webcam video freezes on the frame that I press the record button on. Anyone else ever get this? If so, how did you fix it? [01:26] rodolfo if you say so..i normally install ubuntu-restricted-extras metapackage and can play about anything i can find. [01:27] plus it was set for inclusion in Intrepid, but it doesn't seem to have made it [01:27] help!: after a failed upgrade, I receive a kernel panic when booting 2.6.27. with 2.6.24, I have difficulties repairing the packages. Please, I have no idea any more. here is dpkg --configure -a: http://paste.ubuntuusers.de/392645/ [01:27] amazing... i was hoping help from this chaotic chat room.... my ubuntu 8.10 won't boot-up.... someone please shoot my right on my head now... [01:27] rodolfo it proberly grabes the various gstreamer stuff and more. [01:27] Hey, I was wondering if anyone could help me out, for some reason I can't enable Advanced Desktop Effects after an Intrepid upgrade. [01:27] yeah [01:27] jikuty: do u have nvidia 8200? [01:27] I'm having an issue with video. I installed intrepid, then I installed nvidia-glx-177. My Xorg.0.log says "Fatal error, no screens found" [01:27] comicinkerl: this is return i got from run in terminal " Dropbox integration for Nautilus " - does this mean it's installed ? I can check right now - running Gnome desktop session right now but have KDE session I can run later.... [01:27] But I have tried both default xorg.conf and nvidia-xconfig one, both have a screen defined [01:27] what hardware do you have it in J-_ ? [01:28] JFo: So, in other words--Intrepid will stay how I'm experiencing it? Let me pastebin my lspci [01:28] <_2> tchwang installed or trying to install ? === Lunar_La1p is now known as Lunar_Lamp [01:28] Hi [01:28] does anyone know how to stop the popup on the network-manager applet from showing every single time i log in on my desktop? (the behavior it had on hardy). [01:28] mercutio22, when you report the FF bug, would you send me the bug #? [01:28] bamboo: i have an nvidia quadro nvs140m [01:28] J-_, ok [01:28] ConstantineXVI, what is FFmpeg about? [01:28] but it doesn't seem to be limited to videocards... people with intel/ati cards are also having the issue [01:28] just a little hello ! [01:29] rodolfo: Decoding audio and video [01:29] when u start, does it ask u to config ur video? [01:29] o [01:29] JFo, sure [01:29] rodolfo: Many many different types [01:29] _2: I was upgrading from 8.04 to 8.10... [01:29] nope.. i dont think so [01:29] what version of ubuntu u got? [01:29] after upgrade [01:29] rodolfo, basically, it's a huge super-codec [01:29] mercutio22, thanks [01:29] hmm, curious, why doesn't the package manager show such things as apache, etc..??? [01:29] JFo: http://pastebin.com/m26eda011 [01:29] 8.10 [01:29] hihi [01:29] !u | bamboo [01:29] bamboo: Unless you're Dutch or Flemish, or a government officer, the letter 'U' is not a pronoun. If you want to be taken more seriously, please bother to type out the extra letters in "you". The same goes for "are", "why", "because", "anyone", and so on.. [01:29] it goes straight into command prompt atger reboot... [01:29] <_2> tchwang ok so it is installed. when you try to boot what happens ? [01:29] BlooBay1: Look in synaptic [01:29] haha [01:29] nite_johnboy: no, that doesn't necessarily mean you have already install it. you just have some packages you can install. the package name is the very left name from the output. you can also use adept or synaptic for that task [01:29] schlort, I ended up pruning all the network entries in gconf and starting from scratch, that worked [01:29] hello [01:29] Is there any way to check if all the packages for Intrepid were upgraded? [01:29] is there a way to directly update ububtu 8.04 to 8.10 without downloading the entire CD? [01:29] tchwang: is it a recovery console or a normal command prompt? If the latter, run "xfix" [01:29] BlooBay1: Or just install from cli. apache2, php5, mysql-server-5.0, etc. [01:30] <_2> tchwang ok is it normal bash or a busybox shell ? [01:30] BlooBay1: add/remove only shows a small portion of "applications", synaptic shows all packages. And it'd be apache2, yes. [01:30] Azhi_Dahaka-> when you boot the alternate cd, do you press escape key? [01:30] k. Just looking into ubuntu recently.... will check that out. [01:30] geodome, update manager, like usual [01:30] !upgrade | geodome [01:30] geodome: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [01:30] _2. it goes into command prompt...gnome wont start [01:30] nickrud_: thanks, i'll give it a shot [01:30] this in a laptop J-_ ? [01:30] So you guys mean once I got this FFmpeg installed here, I won't need to search for any other one else [01:30] oh, ok. [01:30] <_2> tchwang ok is it normal bash or a busybox shell ? [01:30] JFo: Yes. [01:30] ok, what brand and model? [01:30] rodolfo, for most stuff, yes [01:30] rodolfo: if you get ffmpeg and gstreamer installed you should be golden [01:30] _2: ok to private you? [01:30] JFo: Lenovo R61e [01:30] rodolfo, it's not everything, but it's a lot of things [01:30] language is to communicate. if u dont understand, thats one thing. if u just dont like how it looks, thats ur problem. i use abbreviations for efficeincy and speed [01:30] How do I get my terminal to say name@home instead of name@cen34902 [01:31] <_2> tchwang yeah [01:31] Ratchet--change your hostname [01:31] Would anyone know if advanced desktop effects always require restricted drivers? [01:31] how? [01:31] Ratchet--, do you mean you want to change your hostname from cen34092 to home? [01:31] Ratchet--umm sudo hostname home [01:31] hi all. [01:31] I'm not getting an option to install them although I used to have one for my graphics card. [01:31] OK thank you guys! [01:31] J-_, ok, looks like your hardware isn't included in this bug. I'll add it [01:31] russianzilla: nope, I have an intel card it works fine on [01:31] when I open system monitor to see the current running processes, I always see Nautilus there, even if I am not using it? [01:31] russianzilla, depends on your 3D card [01:31] bamboo: But it's not your choice. This is a channel that doesn't put up with butchering the language [01:31] bamboo-> you are not doing anyone here a favor doing so [01:31] russianzilla: not always. it depends on the video card [01:31] Hmm. [01:31] russianzilla: I don't know of a case where it wouldn't [01:31] JFo: Sounds good. :) [01:31] I'm now incapable of enabling desktop effects, so I was wondering. [01:32] <_2> Wendal_x why are you checking versions ? that's kinda rude in a channel this size. [01:32] Anybody has some information on how to include schema with the new slapd config system available in intrepid? [01:32] Ratchet--: trying to change the bash prompt? [01:32] I am trying to figure out how to highlight text within the Terminal. When I hold shift and press my left or right arrow keys I am getting D's and C's.... Am I missing something?? [01:32] ConstantineXVI: When I first got it the terminal did the commands in joshua@home, now it's joshua@cen34902 [01:32] I'm having an issue with video. I installed intrepid, then I installed nvidia-glx-177. My Xorg.0.log says "Fatal error, no screens found" [01:32] But I have tried both default xorg.conf and nvidia-xconfig one, both have a screen defined [01:32] HRshovinstuff: text editing shortcuts don't always work in a terminal. [01:32] dmsuperman: same problem i'm experiencing === nickrud_ is now known as nickrud [01:32] ok well is there a shortcut to highlight text .........? [01:32] jikuty: any clues at all? [01:32] dmsuperman: not really, i'm kind of new to this .. just checked the log a little while ago [01:33] snova: When I first got it the terminal did the commands in joshua@home, now it's joshua@cen34902 [01:33] Ratchet--, okay, i knew in 8.04 you went to system -> admin -> network to change it, but network's not there in intrepid/8.10 [01:33] dmsuperman: there is serious issues with nvidia and 8.10 whether they are admitting it or not, there are a lot of problems [01:33] jikuty: It's kind of frustrating. Luckily, I only installed it as a test and didn't upgrade yet, but it's still a pain not to even be able to boot -_- [01:33] Ratchet--: oh, well that would be the hostname :) [01:33] dmsuperman: well, i tested the lived.. it worked perfectly. [01:33] snova: how to change? [01:33] JFo, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/291889 [01:33] when i actually ran the network update - it failed miserably [01:33] chad1: There have always been issues with nvidia, but I'm using older cards. That usually works better, but here it's not at all -_- [01:33] Ratchet--: try "sudo hostname home" [01:33] Ratchet--, are you on intrepid? [01:33] jikuty: Yeah, it's once you get the video driver installed it seems to stop [01:34] thanks mer [01:34] mercutio22, [01:34] dmsuperman: hmm.. that's too bad.. do you think a fresh 8.10 install will work? [01:34] <-tab complete fail [01:34] jikuty: No, that's what I'm using. Fresh install [01:34] d'oh [01:34] JFo: It happens to the best of us :P [01:34] must say, I like 8.10 :) [01:34] ubottu: tell me about debtorrent [01:34] Sorry, I don't know anything about debtorrent [01:34] when I open system monitor to see the current running processes, I always see Nautilus there, even if I am not using it? why is it so? [01:34] I'd like it if X would start :S [01:34] the darkroom took a bit to get used to, but I like it [01:34] goes great with the new wallpaper [01:35] kushalsejwal, it's what's drawing the desktop [01:35] kushalsejwal: nautilus does your desktop [01:35] JFo> no pb [01:35] I'm trying to use unetbootin to install ubuntu 8.10. When I boot from the usb I get the error "could not find kernel image: linux" Google was not able to help me out, can someone here help? [01:35] JFo: Is there anything else you want me to check out to be more specific about the bugs? And, will bug fixes be implemented in Intrepid? [01:35] Anyone knows how debtorrent supposed to work? I am trying to get it to work, but unable to. [01:35] kushalsejwal: The icons on the desktop are done from nautilus [01:35] InvisiblePinkUni: it works as a proxy. you tweak sources.list to fetch everything through a server running on your computer, which fetches packages via bittorent. not sure how, though. [01:35] dmsuperman: nickrud: Thanks, I got it :) [01:35] InvisiblePinkUni: check /usr/share/doc/debtorrent [01:35] torrentfreak had an article about how to set it up [01:35] J-_, I can't think of anything, I included the information from the pastebin to the bug [01:35] <_2> J-_ yes bug fixes go into "updates" [01:36] snova: Yeah true, I read about it and installed it. But when I upgrade, I still use http. [01:36] any idea what could cause a problem where I'm unable to start any kind of application? [01:36] snova: Oh ok, I have to change the source list manually. [01:36] snova: Thanks :-) [01:36] JFo: Cool, thanks a lot. [01:36] np [01:36] Sawyer--> you are getting any kind of errors? [01:36] I upgraded to intrepid, but it got stuck when it was almost finished, now when I start update manager it tells me to update 798 packages and when I do it says to partially upgrade, and when I try that it tells me "cannot upgrade from intrepid to hardy". WTF is that?

[01:47] n8tuser it has obviously something to do with the X display settings [01:47] JFo: Intel Mobile 945GM/GMS/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller [01:47] Flannel, erpo: conflicting answers :) [01:47] Sawyer--> correct [01:47] secret901, could have something to do with your resolution. what is that set at? [01:47] JFo: I'm sure it's not because of a non-supported driver. This is a Dell Ubuntu laptop and it works fine if I use the live CD [01:47] threexk: Did you add any third party repositories (besides winehq or medibuntu)? (automatix, random other ones, etc?) [01:48] I just built a new computer, quad core 2.3GHz, 4 GB RAM. Booting from 8.04 or 8.10... using 32 or 64 bit, it gives me a menu from CD, Ichoose, it loads the kernel, the I see: [ 12.3456789] Not responding.... then it repeats 7 seconds later, then reboots, starts all over. Ideas? [01:48] hmm, then there must be something else afoot here [01:48] JFo: right now it's 1280x800 [01:48] The wireless drivers are present in Intrepid Ibex, but there is no Network Manager. As in, "Configure Network" -> "There is no Network Configuration Tool". Is this a known problem in Ibex? [01:48] secret901, let me look around for a bit === lay is now known as layy [01:48] any clues on how to do that? [01:48] Flannel: nah. I think I only installed 1 package that wasn't on an official repository [01:48] ALSA is also non-responsive. [01:48] n8tuser: I have the ISO [01:48] Malgr2-> you can always manually use the cli, configure it in /etc/network/interfaces [01:48] Flannel: for an MP3 codec [01:49] threexk: And you did it via a package? not compiling from source? [01:49] I mounted it and followed every step on the freaking guide [01:49] Azhi_Dahaka-> did you expand it? [01:49] Flannel: can't remember.. it was from this company that offers them for free, legally [01:49] Flannel: Fluendo [01:49] threexk: Likely then. Yeah, you upgrading wont get messy. It'll be almost the same as you reinstalling fresh (without the hassle) [01:50] threexk: non-third party random repos is a good thing, by the way ;) [01:50] n8tuser I rebooted the system, applications work normally now, but after when I try to resume a NX connection, the problem reappears [01:50] what's the AT SPI Registry Wrapper? [01:50] It's mounted and running [01:50] it's just stubborn [01:50] Flannel: I try to stick with a supported configuration as much as possible! thanks [01:50] Azhi_Dahaka-> you are running a linux now right? [01:50] I have a problem with Ubuntu and gdm.. I have XDMCP enabled and set up with vnc4server to work as desktop :1 ... whenever my desktop is rebooted I get an error regarding screen resolution, asks me if i want to remain in low graphics mode (which i choose yes) but once I continue my system locks up... I can reboot and it will get to a login prompt but if I login and then log back out then the system locks up again.. where do i need to look === christophersen__ is now known as christophersen [01:51] yes [01:51] Hardy [01:52] Azhi_Dahaka-> do you have debootstrap? we can try your alternatec iso, not sure if it will work, i know it works with livecd iso.. [01:52] secret901, are you using an attached monitor? [01:52] Everything with the VNC :1 session seems to work fine, I can log in and log out all day with it and it works fine. [01:52] Sawyer--> i dont know how to get around that resuming NX session [01:52] I only have a loopback connection. [01:53] No, I don't have it [01:53] Flannel: this is the output http://paste.ubuntu.com/65487/ (and this the previous http://paste.ubuntu.com/65484/) [01:53] Anyone knows how can I flush the current list of versions of apt-get? [01:53] Don't be like me [ BACKUP your files before you upgrade to 8.10 ]. Changes are, you may never get your ubuntu to boot up after upgrade..... [01:53] n8tuser I've reinstalled the whole NX product but the same problem reappears [01:53] Azhi_Dahaka-> install it then, sudo apt-get install debootstrap [01:53] hi guys, can i use side button of my mouse in kde? (i want to use them with konqueror) [01:53] I want to check if MAYBE flushing it and making it just get the crap from the cd would work [01:53] JFo: no, I'm using a laptop. [01:54] my wife's 8.04 won't accept her password when the screensaver prompts for it... but she can "switch users" and that works... plain US keyboard layout... ideas? [01:54] Azhi_Dahaka-> do you want to try my suggestion or not? [01:54] JFo: this new version allows me to also output to TV if I connect the S-video port [01:54] <_2> tchwang ok good luck with it. i'm out for a while. [01:54] can't we do both? [01:54] plouffe: Odd. Well, the only thingsthat look out of place in the dist-upgrade are the things being held back. Lets... try this: `apt-cache policy openmovieeditor ubuntu-desktop ubuntu-minimal` go ahead and pastebin that and we'll hopefully know whats going on (your sources.list and update look fine) [01:54] readline is teh l@me [01:54] tchwang: yeah if you use partimage you can get an exact snapshot of your partition before upgrading [01:54] anyway, debootstrap is not on the list of packages [01:55] Azhi_Dahaka-> i dont think so, because you have to chroot and such..but initially perhaps its possible [01:55] n8tuser it even renders everything unusable on the local user interface [01:55] Azhi_Dahaka-> on hardy? sudo apt-get install debootstrap and it cannot find it? [01:56] Sawyer--> am not familiar or forgotten how NX works.. [01:56] yep [01:56] cannot find it [01:56] n8tuser ok, thanks for the tips anyway [01:56] hey guys, i have a web server running on ubuntu server, when i'm in my laptop in the lan i connect to it using its hostname, but when i'm outside of the lan i connect to it using its external hostname (dynip). my problem is that i cant bookmark anything because if i do it locally then it wont work enternally and viceversa [01:56] Couldn't find package debootstrap [01:56] Sawyer--> sorry not much help today [01:56] is there a good web-based management tool (like cpanel) that i can install on ubuntu to manage the apache server, users, etc. etc? [01:56] any ideas how to fix this? [01:57] someone having problems with speedtouch 330 usb internet conection? using intrepid [01:57] Flannel: this is the apt-cache http://paste.ubuntu.com/65489/ === Hilikus_ is now known as Hilikus [01:57] Any clue why an Ubuntu LiveCD would have a gnome-panel reset when I open an app? [01:57] Azhi_Dahaka-> and you are running hardy? thats really odd.. apt-cache search debootstrap [01:57] Hilikus_: are you using virtual aliases? [01:57] Hello [01:57] nothing [01:58] yes, I installed hardy one month ago [01:58] riz0n no [01:58] riz0n thats when you have a1.hostname.com a2.hostname.com etc right? [01:59] plouffe: Odd. openmovieeditor should be held back, but not the other two. At any rate, it wont eb the end of theworld if they are. Lets go ahead with the dist-upgrade, and see where we're at at the end of it. We may hvae to manually fiddle with one of those metapackages, but they're just metapackages. [01:59] Azhi_Dahaka-> you repository list may not be looking at the correct urls..can you paste your /etc/apt/sources.list [01:59] n8tuser: I only have a loopback connection. [01:59] in pastebin off course [01:59] basically this is exactly the same as my problem http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/freenx-knx/2008-October/007462.html [01:59] Malgr2-> why only that? [01:59] Flannel what's a metapackage? [02:00] Everytime I use gnome network manager and I use an encrypted wireless network it asks for a keychain password... i don't know where or h ow to set this up... If i don't use this i have to put in the wifi key every time i restart the computer. What is going on with this after 8.10 update? [02:00] Flannel: so I have to download the 2GB? [02:00] plouffe: It depends on other packages (to make installation easier) but doesn't provide anything itself. [02:00] plouffe: one package name that grabs a bunch of other packages [02:00] plouffe: I suppose so. [02:00] plouffe: such as ubuntu-desktop [02:00] Sawyer--> you are using solaris or ubuntu? [02:00] n8tuser ubuntu [02:01] Thanks Flannel Tom_Davis [02:01] help! [02:01] n8tuser: I just updated my laptop from Hardy to Intrepid, and I had a previous wireless connection set up for my home, and now there's no network managers. It was a fine connection before hand, well, the router can go diaf, but that's beside the point. [02:01] Sawyer--> i cant remember my usage of NX..sorry [02:01] major major problems with my system after i upgraded my ubuntu \ [02:01] n8tuser all I'm saying, is that everything worked just like it should, until I ran some updates and suddenly weird problems emerge [02:02] hello [02:02] Sawyer--> if you dont use NX, everything is okay? [02:02] <_2> some common "meta-packages" are ubuntu-desktop gnome kubuntu-desktop kde xubuntu-desktop ubuntu-base ubuntu-minimal ... the list is long. [02:02] secret901, ok [02:02] I'm using this tutorial to move my /home directory [02:02] http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/01/29/move-home-to-its-own-partition/ [02:02] CardiacKid: This one is a bit more step-by-step: [02:03] !separatehome | CardiacKid [02:03] CardiacKid: Your home folder is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home folder to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [02:03] how do I know if I need to upgrade?

[02:03] <_2> bdog you don't "need" to. it's a question of "want" not "need" [02:03] how do I turn off the keyring thing? It keeps asking me to enter my password in order to log onto my wifi network, and I would rather it just log on [02:03] hi [02:03] _2 how do I find out what verison I have? [02:03] Malgr2-> what shows up in your /etc/network/interfaces file? can you paste that in pastebin please? [02:04] how do i set up a user server where i create users on a server and remote login from any system on my network? [02:04] <_2> bdog lsb_release -a [02:04] CardiacKid: The second one explains how to do that [02:04] Sure, it's gonna' be a minute though, I've got to transfer it over a computer. [02:04] ok, i'm gonna try this: I have renamed source.list and i'm gonna give it a shot with the Alternate CD [02:04] meoblast001: probably create users on the ubuntu box and ssh [02:04] my school has a similar system set up with Windows users with Windows machines and I want to know how to do the equivilant with Ubuntu [02:04] <\kG> anyone know if the vpn issue for 64bit has been resolved? [02:04] Tom_Davis: with an X session though [02:04] Malgra-> no sweat..put my nick in front so i dont miss your responses [02:04] <_2> bdog i'm still using dapper, and it's still supported here, or at lease is supposed to be. [02:04] bdog@bdog-desktop:~$ lsb_release -a [02:04] No LSB modules are available.

[02:04] Codename: hardy [02:05] n8tuser yes obviously it seems that way [02:05] hello, have a quick question. is there any particular reason why ubuntu build all terminals without 256 support? [02:05] is I need to update? [02:05] <_2> bdog both dapper 6.6 and hardy 8.4 are LTS long term support releases. [02:05] bdog, only if you wish to. [02:05] Sawyer--> purge NX and then re-install it [02:05] bdog: You can upgrade if you like. Butyou're on a LTS, so you're supported for 3 years if youd prefer to upgrade every 3 years instead of 6 months. [02:05] Well this is not too bad. Running intrepid as virtual machine. [02:05] sup all [02:05] oh ok [02:06] hi all! just upgraded to ibex! nice gui, but the network manager disappeared :-( any ideas how to get it back? [02:06] canen_-> 256 which? [02:06] n8tuser like I mentioned earlier, I have tried that and the same issue still appears [02:06] Flannel: the dist-upgrade failed http://paste.ubuntu.com/65492/ [02:06] help help help pleas [02:06] Tom_Davis, any ideas? [02:06] so I just add the line '/dev/sdb1 /home ext3 nodev,nosuid 0 2' to the fstab? [02:06] Sawyer--> dont forget, 8.10 is far too new, perhaps NX does not support 8.10 for now [02:06] meoblast001: using gui or text? [02:06] n8tuser I am not using 8.10 but 8.04 [02:06] plouffe: Looks like some mirror problems (this may be due to overloaded servers surrounding the release). Try a different mirror. [02:06] I upgraded my old desktop to ibex and it trashed the upgrade. [02:06] !mirror | plouffe [02:06] plouffe: Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://nl.releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors - PLEASE use the !torrents to download Hardy, and help keeping the servers' load low! [02:06] n8tuser: colors [02:07] Tom_Davis, i want to be able to login to a GUI gnome session [02:07] secret901, everything I am finding points to a possible driver bug, but I don't have much more detail than that. Still looking... [02:07] plouffe: to do that, you switch the es.archive.ubuntu.com to the URL of your new mirror (in your sources.list) [02:07] so i login on one machine to the server and im logged in with preferences and files from the server [02:07] Sawyer--> ows.. i really cant assist you with NX for now..my memory is zapped on that [02:07] meoblast001: from other ubuntu boxes? [02:07] yes [02:07] canen_-> where are you looking at those settings? [02:07] n8tuser no worries, I figure it has something to do with the issue about the graphics drivers I struggled with earlier [02:07] i want to basically use preferences,files, and usernames from one ubuntu box on another in X [02:07] GNOME [02:08] * jaypur is away: ocupado no momento, aguarde... [02:08] meoblast001: ok, I havent done this but you should be able to access the central x-server as if it was local [02:08] is there a good web-based management tool (similar to cpanel) that i can install on ubuntu to manage the apache server, users, DNS, etc. etc? [02:08] * jaypur is back (gone 00:00:19) [02:08] n8tuser: i am not looking at any settings. [02:08] meoblast001: thus giving you the appearance of gnome but its not running locally [02:08] Tom_Davis, can i do that if im not administrator on this current machine? im doing this because my computer is broken and i want to set something up universal so i can use other computers in the house [02:08] n8tuser I figure I will have to purge the nvidia drivers and force to get it working on the native ones [02:09] !keyring [02:09] meoblast001: you will need root access for this project [02:09] Sorry, I don't know anything about keyring [02:09] * jaypur is away: não posso respoder, aguarde. [02:09] Tom_Davis, i dont want to run Gnome on the server [02:09] and i guess im screwed... i'll just use this account ont his computer [02:09] n8tuser: traditionally all most terminals (rxvt) are built without 256 support. you usually have to do a custom build to get it working [02:10] n8tuser: i was wondering about the reason behind it [02:10] meoblast001: not so much screwed as I dont have a good answer for you, perhaps someone else can help, sorry [02:10] Where do i config my touch pad, the mouse settings don't do enough [02:10] k [02:10] meoblast001: it appears that you are attempting roaming profiles on ubuntu, might google that [02:11] canen_-> i didnt even know about that fact [02:11] I could do it in AD but not ubuntu [02:11] Any ideas getting opengl on intel video card in a dell laptop?

[02:24] secret901, most of the linked bugs I am finding seem to point to driver issues, but when I start heading that way the related bugs are due to some external monitor [02:24] do you guys update to intrepid? [02:24] n8tuser: it suggest i have set a keychain password, i never was given the option, how do i set my keychain password? [02:24] it's good [02:24] hey guys, I have a bare install of hardy heron, I got an image of intrepid, mounted it, pointed synaptic at it, it finds the drive but wont import due to W: Signature verification failed for: /media/cdrom/dists/intrepid/Release.gpg, any suggestions? [02:24] c00p:i love it [02:24] I haven't got it yet - Mirrors are so hammard - had it going for 5 hours yesterday and another 2 today ... haha [02:24] JFo: I think it's some botched configuration, since it works fine in the LiveCD [02:24] c00p: other then the fact that it broke absoultely EVERYTHING, not bad :) [02:24] blak-> what i said is try to put your wpa/wpa2 key in the interfaces file, and see if it still requires you to fool around with keyring stuff [02:24] c00p: its good - im back to 8.04 though for lack of legacy nvidia drivers [02:24] secret901, I really think so too [02:25] but thats okay, its linux... thats par for the course when you upgrade :) [02:25] I have a Ubuntu 8.10 system with two hard drives. I cannot write to the second drive. I goggled around and tried some stuff that just messed up my install so badly I lost my gdm and had to re-install. Can anyone point me to the REAL and correct instructions for my problem, where ubuntu thinks the hard drive is not mine. I suppose it think its owned by the cat. [02:25] id tell you how 8.10 was if my NIC worked with it, ever since the upgrades from the -19 kernel ive been screwed :P [02:25] <_2> c00p some are hating it termendously, some are loving it deliciously. [02:25] i got mine running good..... [02:25] every video i play always shows over any windows....any idea how to disable that (not the always on top option) [02:25] I am one of the ones who loves it so far [02:25] im jsut trying to find a PCI one that would have no problems [02:25] blak oh i am not aware you have not setup your keyring password, it is usually the root password.. [02:25] et [02:25] every video i play always shows over any windows....any idea how to disable that (not the always on top option) [02:25] anyone here successfully used the "Distribution Upgrade" from 8.04 to .10 ? [02:25] n8tuser: alright i understand that, i think it would be better to utilize this "new" keyring thing though so it is not just sitting in my interfaces file you know? [02:25] yes [02:25] MetalHeadDead: You can also give users more fine grained access via sudo, so if you want your non-admin user to be able to use update-manager, but not anything else for instance, you can do that. [02:25] I am used to editing the old style fstab, but not this current one. [02:25] cause I am running that now ... :) [02:25] every video i play always shows over any windows....any idea how to disable that (not the always on top option) [02:25] n8tuser: how do you set it? [02:26] bill stop spaming please [02:26] blak what sits on your interfaces file is the wpa2 key not the root password [02:26] Anyone else experiencing slow & sluggish firefox in Intrepid? [02:26] If I boot from a CD, and the kernel says: "[ 7.sometime-here] Not responding."... *WHAT* is not responding?? [02:26] works good here [02:26] blak its been a while, but lets see.. what happens when you do a sudo -i [02:26] n8tuser: of course, yes the root pass would make sense for the keyring password but it isnt that i guess... it asked to set it once and i thought i did but it obvviously isnt that password either... i never noticed keyring anything until after update to intrepid [02:27] every video i play always shows over any windows....any idea how to disable that (not the always on top option) [02:27] n8tuser switches to root [02:27] blak why did you even upgraded to ibex? [02:27] n8tuser why not? [02:27] blak then once it switches, type passwd [02:27] <_2> PMantis what it says above that [02:27] blak is there a necessity to upgrade? [02:27] Can anyone help me or do I have to fight google for another six hours or more? [02:28] I user apt-get install linux-kernel-devel on ubuntu 8.10,but system report can't find,how can i do? [02:28] ChinaForge-> it may not be available yet, wait for a week perhaps? [02:28] I think you need to install build essentials to start [02:28] <_2> PMantis something like trying pfft driver or attempting to blah register the messages should all read coherantly togther [02:28] !java [02:28] how can i disable the system beep in ibex? [02:28] To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository [02:28] blak, n8tuser: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkManager#Automatic%20Keyring [02:29] _2: I choose to start ubuntu from CD, it finishes "Loading Kernel", sits for 5 seconds, clears screen... then "Not responding." happens 3 times, reboots.

I even tried a windows CD, it just reboots. [02:30] Does anyone have a URL for adding another hard drive to Ubuntu 8.x were it will mount on bootup, recognize my account in wr mode? [02:30] n8tuser, after my last line, I disconnected, can you repeat anything you said to me/ [02:30] Flannel: I do?

Well, you didn't realize that I have a TIME MACHINE [02:31] Malgr1-> you have to add that line in the interfaces file, man interfaces to get more info [02:31] alienjeff: ok [02:31] <_2> PMantis is that a laptop with both a cd and floppy drives in it ? [02:32] hi everybody [02:32] hey. [02:32] need help [02:32] <_2> PMantis ? [02:32] so do I === predator363 is now known as mikel [02:32] _2: It's a system I just built - Gigabyte motherboard, core2-quad, 4GB ram, DVDROM drive. [02:32] hi, i upgraded to intrepid last night and could use pidgin 2.5.2 just fine, but since just now, pidgin freezes once a message is sent or received on any protocol. and no one on #pidgin is replying... [02:32] MetalHeadDead: it uses your std password... [02:32] im back hope nobody was looking for me lol [02:32] _2: Just trying to get a clie as to what is bad. [02:32] ugh, was scrolled up :$ [02:32] HUY.. [02:32] _2: s/clie/clue/ [02:32] have installed ubuntu on my sony vaio vgn-fw21e, but cannot make the wireless network work.. it does not even see the wireless card [02:33] I can't seem to find out what dir the iMac G3 stores its CDROM drive. Anyone willing to help? [02:33] <_2> PMantis i would think that perhaps the cd/dvd drive is not configured correctly. is it on an ide cable ? [02:33] progre55: do an lspci [02:33] Yes. [02:33] _2: yes [02:33] progre55: what do you see about your wifi card there [02:33] <_2> PMantis is it alone on that cable ? [02:33] stweston: are you in ubuntu? [02:33] mikel: server. [02:33] mikel: installing [02:34] _2: yes, master. [02:34] <_2> PMantis does it have jumpers to set it to master or slave ? [02:34] stweston: hmm not so sure in linux is /cdrom [02:34] dignan: sec [02:34] _2: Yes, set to master. [02:34] _2: I tried 3 diff IDE cables [02:34] dignan: now i'm under windows, as i do not have inet connection under linux :) [02:34] mikel: I understand that, but I've tried a directory search of /dev and it dosn't have anything, same for /cdrom [02:34] <_2> PMantis ok try plugging it in the other plug on the cable if you can. [02:34] progre55: what kind of wifi card [02:35] hi, does anyone know how to make an image of an install so that it can be transferred across to another hard drive? [02:35] n8tuser: there's still no network manager found. [02:35] _2: I even tried connecting the CDROM to a USB adapter. [02:35] mikel: well, anything relevant, at least. /cdrom has nothing. [02:35] _2: ok... [02:35] <_2> PMantis and try moving the jumper to cable select [02:35] stweston: you must first type sudo mount /cdrom [02:35] mikel: aah. [02:35] dignan: but it said something like "Intel corporation Unknown device 4232 [02:35] do you know what it's called or? [02:35] it's probably been done before [02:35] Malgr1-> adding those lines does not enable network manager [02:35] mikel: sudo not found. it's an install disk. [02:35] is it possible to run deluge as a daemon in the background and to only access it via webUI? [02:35] I'm having sound issues since the update to Intrepid Ibex from Hardy Heron... Does somebody share my same misfortune? [02:35] just search ubuntu's forums.. you just need to a. load a kernel module or b. finagle ndiswrapper [02:36] what's the command called to reconfigure X window graphics [02:36] stweston: are you currently root? [02:36] Malgr1-> now you can sudo ifup wlan0 [02:36] mikel: I believe so, but I'm only installing. [02:36] I think ubuntu just successfully destroyed my television [02:36] dignan: i'm new to linux, so.. :) dont even know what you are talking about )) [02:36] mikel: so, sudo won't work, I think. [02:36] _2: Trying it now... This is a DVDROM that I've always used for my installs, 'cause it's damn fast and always works. [02:37] <_2> PMantis i really don't know. but just from what you have described. it's probably the cd/dvd drive not playing nice with other hardware. if you can't find it there. you might look into setting the bus speed on the kernel command line at boot time. i would have to google for info on that. [02:37] dignan: how do you configure ndiswrapper? === kc is now known as highwayman [02:37] hello.. how do i install kernel support for raid? [02:37] progre55: by googling for "configure ndiswrapper". I've never had the misfortune as my wifi card has native support [02:37] is there a package that does it? [02:38] stweston: in the terminal prompt it should say something like ?@? what does it say? [02:38] Sawyer--> try /usr/bin/displayconfig-gtk if that dont work, try python /usr/bin/displayconfig-gtk [02:38] there is likely an extensive howto on ubuntu's site [02:38] mikel: it says sudo: not found.

[02:50] I have traced a problem I am having with GDM down to a KVM switch I have hooked to my PC.. basically the KVM switch allows me to hook one monitor, keyboard, and mouse to two PC's. If my Ubuntu system boots with the KVM switch controlling the other PC (not the ubuntu) then Ubuntu boots to a screen saying that my video and monitor could not be detected properly. Is there any way to force ubuntu to use a certain video/monitor profile regardl [02:50] mikel: that's fine. [02:50] _2: binarry ? [02:50] _2: Whoooooooooooooaaaaaaaaah!

Please help :-( [02:51] riz0n, ive seen others with kvm switch issues.. their fix was to basicially manually edit/configure the xorg.conf with the proper modes for their monitors [02:51] mikel: not really. I'm trying to mount it. [02:51] anybody got the address to the medibuntu repos? [02:51] n8tuser: So basically, I can't modify the configuration for sudo ifup wlan0?

[02:52] hey guys [02:52] <_2> PMantis ok it is then something to do with the drive or the timming. but we still don't know which. [02:52] Malgr1-> nope, you can modify the /etc/network/interfaces file .. have i suggested.. man interfaces [02:52] i need help... ubuntu isn't starting up properly [02:52] stweston: are you planning to install ubuntu server either way? [02:52] mikel: yes.

[03:17] yoyoned I have ubuntu installed on the USB HDD with Grub installed there as well. I want to boot this (theres a problem with the OS on the computer) [03:17] ldiamond, do you have USB boot enabled in the bios?

[03:18] Stargazer, give me the site you are trying and i'll work out the sring [03:18] ldiamond, you have to set the root device [03:18] But I still have a problem.

[03:18] And the problem isn't my CPU. [03:18] how can I revert back to my original MAC address? [03:19] <_2> KMan2121 full report would be nice. a simple "it didn't work" leaves so much to guess about. [03:19] ldiamond do you have only 1 usb stogage device plugged in? [03:19] ok... [03:19] the same thing came up === Malgra is now known as Oddlot [03:19] yoyoned yes [03:19] after upgrading to 8.10, gnome system sounds no longer work.

[03:21] while it was booting up [03:21] So I'd assume yes. [03:21] <_2> KMan2121 ok. do you have that sustem running right now ? [03:21] how can I revert back to my original MAC address? [03:21] Oddly, Epiphany doesn't have this problem.

I'm not sure what the problem might be then. even with just one window, one tab, at google.com? (do you have any extensions installed?) [03:24] kirollos@morkos:~$ [03:24] <_2> KMan2121 ok, startx [03:24] same thing [03:24] kirollos@morkos:~$ [03:24] A few extensions, but under the same version under Ubuntu 8.04, it was fine. [03:24] <_2> KMan2121 but it should have a line with EE in it [03:24] EVen with 40 tabs. [03:24] philippe_: I have better luck with sun's java than icedtea or the other one (I forget what it's called) [03:24] <_2> KMan2121 what is the EE reason it failed [03:25] how can I revert back to my original MAC address? [03:25] it says fatal server error [03:25] no screens found [03:25] giving up. [03:25] KMan2121 [03:25] <_grepper> hey there... anyone have good pointers to install UI to a headless server for using with VNC (8.04 LTS)?

[03:25] djGentoo: well, multiple tabs shouldn't do much more than use up ram, unless there is lots of active content in the tabs. [03:25] no [03:25] *graphics driver* [03:26] jus a sec [03:26] kk [03:26] <_2> Fiveipads most likely. [03:26] do u have the latest 8.10 [03:26] <_2> Fiveipads you have a bug fix/workaround ?

I installed XFCE on top of ubuntu alternate, and then start vnc as a normal user in rc.local [03:26] i upgraded from 8.04 [03:26] to 8.10 [03:27] how can I revert back to my original MAC address? [03:27] <_grepper> sten_: any links with details steps [03:27] and now when i turn on ubuntu, the nvidia configuration says it cant intialize [03:27] ldiamond-> why /grub/stage1 and not /boot/grub/stage1 ? [03:27] _2 use kernel framebuffer device interface? yes or no? [03:27] <_grepper> sten_: what is the default UI for Ubuntu 8.04? Gnome? [03:27] pen why did your mac change [03:27] <_2> KMan2121 no [03:27] yoyoned The drive works fine on 2 other computers and every VMs I have. [03:27] gnome is defualt [03:27] k [03:27] autodetect keyboard layout? [03:27] yes or no? [03:27] _grepper: you might also want to consider running a firewall which restricts vnc access, but allows ssh. (otherwise, it's a relatively insecure setup) [03:28] <_2> KMan2121 yes to most of them. no to frame buffer [03:28] k [03:28] <_grepper> _grepper: yes, I will be using that inside my network [03:28] <_grepper> oops [03:28] hi everyone.. [03:28] ldiamond it's bootable from other computers? [03:28] hey [03:28] <_grepper> sten_: I will be using that from inside my network only [03:28] _grepper: yes, gnome is default. If you use the server install disks, then there's no UI. You could also use the XFCE disks. imho, gnome is way too heavy for a server [03:28] <_grepper> sten_: it's behind a firewalled router (not the best thing in the world, but...) [03:28] n8tuser I dont know, thats what I saw online [03:28] ooookay boys. [03:28] _grepper: wireless or wired? [03:29] yoyoned yes [03:29] <_grepper> sten_: wired [03:29] _2 can we go in a chat? [03:29] Hi. How do I change my DNS servers in 8.10? Thanks! [03:29] this is confusing [03:29] KMan2121: ;-) I know what you mean [03:29] kubuntu 8.10... fresh install on laptop. Will not connect with my broadcomm. [03:29] so does anyone know how to configure the nvidia driver so that it will initialize the nvidia driver, it says the nvidia kernel cant initalize [03:29] lol [03:29] glad i'm not alone! [03:29] <_2> KMan2121 better if you can keep it here. others might need the same thing, or have better answers. [03:29] ldiamond then maybe this computer doesn't boot from usb [03:29] <_grepper> sten_: I will most use Eclipse running on the UI [03:29] k [03:29] <_grepper> sten_: do you think Gnome's too much? [03:29] eclipse is niiiich. [03:29] hi there, when i first install ibex in my notebook (not yet activated special effect), my totem is no issue playing dvd, but after I activated the special effect by typing "nvidia-xconfig" in the consule , my totem can't play dvd anymore, just freeze with no explanation http://img340.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot1oa5.png Anyone can help me out please [03:29] niiice tha tis.

[03:30] <_grepper> BlooBay1: indeed :) [03:30] yoyoned It can boot from USB, theres all sorts of things about it in the bios [03:30] folks, I have a question about UUID, simply what is that? I found the UUID mentioned in the menu.lst next to root, I guess it might be related to the hard drive's name on which I installed ubuntu, but why isn't listed as it used to for example (hd0,something) [03:30] wat do i do? [03:30] yoyoned and it throws me in grub's console... it has to be opening it [03:30] <_2> KMan2121 what's the last message ? [03:30] _grepper: yup. XFCE has device hot-plugging automounting, session management, etc. No gvfs though (graphical browsing of network shares is limited, but this won't matter if you're using nfs) [03:30] its easy to fix guys, just use windows xp and install the drivers that come with the shit [03:30] lol [03:30] Would it be possible to make my 8 GB USB into a hard drive for Ubuntu? Saving to it, etc. [03:30] but, still, no wireless on broadcom based Precision m70 [03:30] I'm talking about the the new version of ubuntu 8.10 [03:30] its jus a big screen talkin bout keypboard layout [03:31] Mefached You can make a ubuntu drive out of it yes [03:31] <_2> KMan2121 hit enter ?

[03:31] no [03:31] oh [03:31] k [03:31] _grepper: if you want straightforward, install Xubuntu [03:31] worx now [03:31] so they haven't released drivers for broadcom yet? DAM, my mate realy wants to use ubuntu and thats the main reason he is not using it because of wireless [03:31] only a screwed up Windows [03:31] wats my keyboard model? [03:31] pc105?

[03:32] xc [03:32] yoyoned: I don't know [03:32] !UUID [03:32] To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [03:32] ok [03:32] <_2> redheat unique unit identifier [03:32] redheat: it's a filesystem barcode, basically [03:32] the thing is done [03:32] yoyoned: and I forgot my original mac address [03:32] <_2> KMan2121 startx [03:32] now it says kirollos@morkos:~# again [03:32] yoyoned: probably someone changed it [03:32] k, so i got intrepid, but it LOCKS after login. i've got a celeron 1Ghz with 512mb ram & installed using WUBI [03:32] startx?

[03:33] I think the only rationale behind UUID, is that there's NO rationale behind it, except giving us hard times...just like the wireless driver.. [03:33] yoyoned: I tried restart, it's still the same and eth0 disappeared now it's eth2 [03:33] _2 same as b4, fatal server error: no screens found, giving up. [03:34] anyhow..folks thank you so much for your help..thank you appreciate it.. [03:34] any idea how to get broadcomm wireless working on laptop? new kubuntu 8.10 install [03:34] ldiamond my only other sugestio would be to try (hd2) or others [03:34] I think that there is an exceptional possibility that this computer will not come back up properly - 36 errors, 36 bugs lodged [03:34] <_2> redheat wrong. mounting devices with the UUID they can be on different busses or ide channels and still be recognized and mounted correctly. using device addressing if it moves you lose it.

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [04:17] I ended up helping out other people [04:17] frederick85-> the partitioning of freebsd is different from linux, you may want to put it in a different disk? [04:17] because i just bought this 2X1GB 667mhz hr ago [04:18] tdizzle86: I'd say ask away then, they both use the gtk backend so a solution may be had [04:18] <_2> well i'll say. learn something new every day... gotmail - utility to download email from a Hotmail or MSN account [04:18] i guess i should put the 533 back in to have 3GB instead of 2GB ram? [04:18] excuse me I have a "Ubuntu on Mac mini" questions, is this the correct channel? [04:18] kelvin911: it's noticable only under extreme circumstances (mainly gaming, with really high graphics options.. ) where performance of a ton of operations at once makes a difference [04:18] @kevin911: Probably not. Go ahead and throw it in. [04:18] every video i play always shows over any windows....any idea how to disable that (not the always on top option) [04:18] hi, I have a Creative Zen X-Fi. [04:18] kelvin911: and even then, it won't make alot of difference. it's hardly noticable even at that [04:18] I want to transcode my video files for it.

[04:19] sobersabre: i use ffmpeg, though you'd have to specify the right codecs probably [04:19] kelvin911: i would [04:19] askvictor, you can use that 'unetbootin' tool to make a live-usb-thumbdrive from the iso image file [04:19] how can I use pascal language in ubuntu? [04:19] mordof: I have the files with mkv and avi extensions, but I have no idea what is inside. [04:20] babaklinux, install one of the pascal compilers and start codeing [04:20] if i have 3gb ram my 4gb swap is more than enought right? [04:20] is there an easy tutorial for installing ubuntu on a MBP and OSX as the secondary os? [04:20] do you have examples how to convert them ?

[04:21] kelvin911: unless you doing something massive you prolly wont even need swap [04:21] dr_willis: I installed gpc bu I don't know when I wrote a program in editor with pascal language what name do I have to put for that file for example in c++ we have to put *.c [04:21] i run many app at once [04:21] when i am working [04:21] _2, i tried out that generate-usb-thing under 8.10 and it seems to generate a usb stick in about 1/2 the time. [04:21] babaklinux: .pas. [04:21] babaklinux, it dosent matter much most likely [04:21] kelvin911: with 2gb of ran under winxp, i turned off swap completely.. the only time i ever noticed an issue was when i blatently tried to force it to run out [04:21] n8tuser: I try this command sudo grub-install --no-floppy /dev/sda but i get could not find device for /boot [04:21] kelvin911: i also run many things at once [04:21] ram* [04:21] babaklinux, you dont HAVE to use .c :) its just standard practice [04:22] i open opera, firefox(sometimes), xfig, emacs, have more than 3 pdf open, 2 xdvi, maple, skype, vlc, [04:22] sometimes even gimp too... [04:22] kelvin911: me too; including VMs. Only once have I topped 2gb. Add a system monitor applet to the taskbar to see how much you're using. Then again, doesn't hurt to have a few gigs for swap seeing how cheap HD space is [04:22] mordof: which version of ffmpeg are you using ? [04:22] all at once [04:22] sobersabre: whichever is in the repos [04:22] plus openoffice soemtimes [04:22] kelvin911: you won't ever hit an issue [04:23] and i have compiz installed [04:23] babaklinux, http://www.gnu-pascal.de/gpc/index.html#Top [04:23] I got this drive auto-mounting but I cannot write to it here is my line in fstab PLEASE what is wrong here? /dev/sda1 /media/sea200 ext3 user,users,auto,exec,rw 0 0 [04:23] frederick85-> is /boot in /dev/sda?

[04:23] last time i feel the fire effect is lagging when i close one window [04:23] I just got a new system (Q6700, 6GB RAM, 640GB SATA HDD) and I'm wondering whether I should keep the drive and split it (swap, ubuntu, home, vista, storage) or if I should throw in a smaller PATA 250GB that's about six years old and split that (swap, ubuntu, home, xp) Any opinions? [04:23] when i have that many apps open all at once, but i had 1GB ram back then [04:23] Anyone? [04:23] kelvin911: 1gb of ram is generally kinda easy to over-do it. i run 2gb at the moment and i have no issues [04:24] oh and i have awn running too [04:24] kelvin911: you run a bit mroe than i tend to regularly, but at times i have enough running to compare with that, and i don't have problems. you shouldn't notice it [04:24] GarryFre: state your problem please [04:24] cw=Z]Q;;~ [04:25] xorlim: he did. drive automounting unable to write to it [04:25] I cant' write to this automounted drive ... the fstab line is /dev/sda1 /media/sea200 ext3 user,users,auto,exec,rw 0 0 [04:25] cw=Z]Q;NeQ cw=Z]SpLkQ;M3SqMmQ;M1 [04:25] I've been fighting this since 5pm [04:25] GarryFre, if its ext3, then your user must have permissions/ownsership of the files/directorrys he is writing to. [04:25] GarryFre: I had same problem in FreeSBIE (FreeBSD) Live CD... I think I remounted it "not read only" [04:26] <_2> GarryFre so own it or mod it [04:26] GarryFre: you have to remove the read only attribute [04:26] kelvin911: taking off to go do the cow level in diablo 2 over lan, bye [04:26] kelvin911: should be fine [04:26] n8tuser: boot should be in sda2 [04:26] OK GUYS [04:26] <_2> xorlim what ro attribute ? [04:26] SERAQUAL y/N? [04:26] I wish I knew how to remove read only attrib. I could just reformat it to ext2 as it is empty drive [04:26] sudo chown username:group /folder/path [04:26] SEROQUAL* [04:26] wat [04:26] should i take it [04:26] so max ram for ubuntu is 4GB? [04:26] 400mg tablet [04:27] <_2> GarryFre there isnt' one. just chown the thing [04:27] GarryFre, formating to ext2 wont fix the issue.. its a linux filesystem. so the ownership/permissions rules apply [04:27] _2: I think it's something like mount -ro /drive [04:27] why the max ram xp can see is 3.5GB? while ubuntu is 4GB? arent they both 32bit? [04:27] chown the mountpoint to be owned by the user you want.. might do it. [04:27] frederick85-> okay, try it and see how it goes [04:27] _2: man mount [04:27] <_2> xorlim no. [04:27] ok, I guess I got to google chown. thanks. [04:27] <_2> xorlim you are all wet. [04:28] _2: -r Mount the file system read-only. A synonym is -o ro. [04:28] <_2> GarryFre chown is a command. sudo chown -R /media/sea* [04:28] who here is a ubuntu master?? [04:28] _2: mount -o ro /drive [04:28] Hi. How do I change my DNS servers in 8.10? Thanks! [04:28] GarryFre: man mount, check for -r [04:28] <_2> xorlim he doesn't want to mount it read only. [04:29] I know this is suited to #lighttpd but I can't get any help there. Lighttpd wont start for me on Ubuntu. I recently did an apt-get upgrade and since then it wont start. Is there any way I can get some more detailed logs or debugging info? The error logs don't tell me anything [04:29] n8tuser: yeah i tried /dev/sda2 it say not found/not block device also [04:29] <_2> xorlim it's not a mount issue. [04:29] frederick85-> just the /dev/sda [04:29] @GarryFre: Have you tried using defaults? /dev/sda1 /media/sea200 ext3 defaults 0 0 [04:29] _2: ok [04:29] n8tuser: same error message [04:30] I am running ubuntu on a dell laptop...can't get skype? [04:30] frederick85-> you are doing this from a livecd ? [04:30] BrentNewland Yes, same problem but let me try again [04:30] n8tuser: yes [04:30] is there an easy tutorial for installing ubuntu on a MBP and OSX as the secondary os?

[04:45] joe__: skype is fine here [04:45] i cant get skype for 8.10 64 bit? [04:45] frederick85-> okay, i did say freebsd file systems are different from linux right, so i would think you cant have them both on same hard disk. [04:45] joe__: well skype as an app shouldnt cause trouble. i been experiencing a lot of trouble with my audio related to a specific sound card.. and alsa/oss [04:45] It works!!! Thanks for the chown info. that was the fixer, amazing that I could google for hours and not find any reference to it [04:45] is there another network management softare that i could use? [04:45] <_2> dr_willis for the record, i see no problem with specifying both "user" and "users" on a linux fs. had to consult the man page to make sure there wasn't any fs specific reason not to.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [04:48] Hi. I have a problem. Originally, when my laptop was running on 8.04, the movie player works fine most of the time; rarely it does occur that no sound comes out when I play DVDs/VCDs, and when that happens, I just restart the system. Now that I have 8.10, restarting doesn't solve the issue. What shall I do? Please help me. Thanks! [04:48] <_2> edwardk not my strong suite but if you want i'll give a look. [04:48] my bad [04:48] _2, i must admit though that for a brief 10 minutes it had worked today but then it just disappeared again [04:48] every video i play always shows over any windows....any idea how to disable that (not the always on top option) [04:48] first time I installed linux when slackware was new I gzipped all my files on my drive, all partitions not knowing that after backup, the files would be deleted by default. Slack don't work well without it's files [04:48] elamsusa: i found many about installing ubuntu alongside osx, but i want to install osx alongside ubuntu [04:48] i didn't ask to ask a uestion tho [04:49] i'm wondering if its a similar issue to that of the e1000 that was giving problems earlier [04:49] every video i play always shows over any windows....any idea how to disable that (not the always on top option) [04:49] hi everybody [04:49] i've just installed ubuntu 8.10. how to activate the special effects?? [04:49] <_2> can you pastebin the output of these three commands for me? lsmod ;lshw -C network 2>/dev/null ;ifconfig -a [04:49] thomasite: What sound card is it? I had similar with a soundmax driver [04:49] can anyone tell me how I can wipe my freebsd bootloader so I can then install ubuntu, [04:50] frederick85: Just install Ubuntu, it'll take care of its own bootloader [04:50] uhm howcome the intrepid upgrade from hardy removes everything? including wifi support before it can download the new stuff? [04:50] progre55: System->Preferences->Administration->Visual Effects. [04:50] Flannel: I did that already but recieved a fatal error from grub installation [04:50] LOL..... one first or the other.... no difference as long as u get un bootloader [04:50] Yet I am another person with 8.10 hdd read-only permission problems, can't edit anythink even in recovery mode, any solutions to this problem ? [04:50] frederick85: yeah, if you install grub, either by the Grub CD or by ubuntu, it will replace the mbr, thereby getting rid of the freebsd bootloader [04:50] progre55: system/preferences/appearance tab fartes to ther ight [04:50] wgrant: there is no such menu here..

[04:51] <_2> edwardk can you pastebin the output of these three commands for me? lsmod ;lshw -C network 2>/dev/null ;ifconfig -a [04:51] My question was> I was trying to use the GRUB recovery method sugested by the ubot, but when I execute the line find /boot/grub/stage1 I get error 15: file not found.

[04:52] NkZ830_: at the commandline, if you type 'cat /boot/grub/device.map' it will show you which drives are mapped [04:52] so apparently using Updates Manager to update from hardy to intrepid is a very very bad thing to do, it removed everything rebooted my system and cripled it [04:52] Flannel: is that using grub-install?

[04:53] deever: Likely you need grub-efi [04:53] ripps: Win installation? [04:53] frederick85: No, that'd just be using dd from a liveCD or whatnot. And then you'd reinstall grub through whatever means you prefer [04:53] NetEcho: What in particular did it remove?

[04:54] thomasite and I forgot how myself [04:54] NetEcho: And... you let it? [04:54] NkZ830_: I just wanted to know if (hd0,1) was the right address. If you had a windows installation first, than it would be accurate. [04:54] woods [04:54] wgrant I was following the upgrade procedures [04:54] ripps: Yes, I installed it 1st. It used to be there. [04:54] Flannel: I have important things on my drive [04:55] goodmorning [04:55] someone should seriously remove the upgrade section right now considering it only does half the job, it removes hardy and doesn't add anything from intrepid it just deletes your install [04:55] Ripps: Even the partition manager recognizes my 1st HD is using NTFS, but I cant even mount it from linux, which is weird too. [04:55] wgrant: thanks man :) [04:55] does anyone kno hen Intrepid Ibex is released? [04:56] NetEcho: It works fine for most people. [04:56] RonPaul: ibes is out 2 days now! [04:56] NetEcho: I've never seen it do anything like that before. Logs would be nice. [04:56] !info grub-efi | deever [04:56] wgrant the last 4 upgrades have worked fine for me as well [04:56] deever: grub-efi (source: grub2): GRand Unified Bootloader, version 2 (EFI version).

Version 1.96+20080512-1ubuntu2 (intrepid), package size 738 kB, installed size 2160 kB (Only available for i386 kfreebsd-i386 hurd-i386 amd64 kfreebsd-amd64 powerpc ppc64) [04:56] it's been out? geez [04:56] <_2> GarryFre google didn't mention it because it's so elementry, all "linux" file systems have permissions/owner bits, and we just manipulate them as needed. chown and chmod are your friends on a linux fs. [04:56] wgrant how am I going to get logs when I can't even boot the system? [04:56] deever: No [04:56] Oh. [04:56] NkZ830_: Yeah... Ubuntu has native NTFS support. It sounds like something might be wrong with the ubuntu installation [04:56] frederick85: Then don't do it. [04:56] NetEcho: Live CD./ [04:56] NkZ830_: does that ntfs drive come from a bad shutdown? [04:56] <__mikem> RonPaul: do you think you have a chanse of winning the election :( [04:56] where am I looking? [04:56] <__mikem> oh sorry, this is the suport channel [04:57] <__mikem> wrong window [04:57] frederick85: A previous bootloader shouldn't have anything to do with grubs ability to reinstall [04:57] Flannel: do you have a resource I could read up on to do this ? [04:57] Strangely, I have mucked with several versions of linux, never had to do chown before. /shrug [04:57] NetEcho: /var/log/dist-upgrade [04:57] anyone here use VNC?? from Windows -> Ubuntu???? [04:57] k wgrant gimme a few moments [04:57] mikem: nom but i have important things to say [04:57] and help with nvidia geforce4 mx-4000 svideo to tv in ubuntu 8.10? [04:57] !grub | frederick85, first link [04:57] I guess sites should keep in mind, only breething is too elementary to mention. [04:57] frederick85, first link: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [04:57] jim_p: Negative to that. I Just booted from the 8.10 CD, installed and bang, GRUB messed up. [04:57] /say thomasite sudo lshw [04:57] <_2> GarryFre indeed hehhe [04:58] Flannel: I'm willing to do a fresh ubuntu install but It failed the previous time, I believe it has something to do with the freebsd bootloader [04:58] NkZ830_: grub is irrelevant to ntfs not being read [04:58] I found something interesting, maybe this can help somewhat. [04:58] Sometimes I just feel crippled from the neck up. [04:58] Ruff: searching for the option in xorg.conf? [04:59] i can get it to output somethin to the tv, but its not desktop its distorted colors lol [04:59] When I got to Partition manager, information about /dev/sda1 it says "Failed to startup volume: Invalid argument [04:59] <_2> NkZ830_ can you define "GRUB messed up" for us ? [04:59] and when i restart it says somethin bout xorg not being configured right [04:59] hi all..... i'm upgrading from 8.04 to 8.10>>> installation was uneventful, after restart i get this error> and the screen just locks there, i had the switch off using the hardware key>> [04:59] <<< server authorization directory(daemon/serv auth dir) is set to '/var/lib/gdm' but is not owned by user106 & group 114. pls correct the ownership or GDM config & restart GDM >>> [04:59] how do i correct his? before this screen i get this error [04:59] >>> Start-stop-daemon: unable to open pidfile '/var/run/klogd/kmsgpipe.pid' for writing : read only filesystem (Read only filesystem) :[failed] [04:59] macvr: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:00] genii: so with this i can install osx afterwards without destroying the ubuntu on the disk? [05:00] wgrant how do I use the livecd to boot the hdd so I can get at that? [05:00] hmm [05:00] _2: Grub messed up could be defined as grub not showing the Win installation. [05:00] GarryFre: I got many lines of output. Which do I need? [05:00] I upgraded to Intrepid and now my Firefox prefs are gone [05:00] worst, they don't get rewritten [05:00] Azhi_Dahaka: OH NO! [05:01] <_2> NkZ830_ ummm that's not really what i might call "messed up" but you can add it in the /boot/grub/menu.lst if you want. [05:01] but not everything... the GUI configuration refuses to save [05:01] deever: I do not know for certain. I would suggest to ask further about Apple ubuntu in #ubuntu-powerpc , they are specialised in this [05:01] :S [05:01] Azhi_Dahaka: did you have firefox 3 before? [05:01] yep [05:01] same version [05:01] Azhi_Dahaka: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:01] same plugins (but the buttons are gone) [05:01] thomasite try sudo lshw > MyHardware and then try to open it with a text editor and find sound card. [05:01] can i use bittorrent to d/l Intrepid??? someone told me they did that and worked good [05:01] Azhi_Dahaka: now i don't want to upgrade ;( [05:01] _2 Tried that from the grub itself, but It wouldn't even recognize my (hd0,1) [05:02] Azhi_Dahaka: i'd be lost without my bookmarks!

[05:02] <_2> NkZ830_ you can also rebuild the menu.lst at any time. there is a script for it, sudo update-grub [05:02] RonPaul, there are torrents for all the .iso files [05:02] RonPaul yes, i used torrent for intrepid and it installed no probs [05:02] genii: ok, i'll try! thanks! :) [05:02] _2 Gonna try that right now. [05:02] where can i find gnome do themes? [05:02] rre [05:02] deever: You're welcome [05:02] Oh nice, thanks I was trying to remember that sudo update-grub thing [05:02] tc [05:02] tx [05:02] RonPaul: what most people say to do is get the alternate installation cd and use that for upgrading [05:02] so, Anyone experienced something like that? [05:03] <_2> NkZ830_ the first "tried that" i meant manually add it, by hand in an editor, with the keyboard and all.... [05:03] hy [05:03] RonPaul: b/c you can download it via Bittorrent [05:03] where is the best alternate install cd? [05:03] _2 That's what I meant. The whole "Press E to edit" and "Press B to Boot" thing. [05:03] RonPaul: it's one of the options for .iso files; i.e. server edition, desktop, and alternate [05:03] !eyecandy |vitamin-carrot [05:03] what do you use for psp mp4 converter?

[05:04] ...and i got disconnected [05:04] <_2> NkZ830_ nope. not what i meant. i meant sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst <<< by hand. grub doesn't have to recognize a thing to boot it. bios does. [05:04] RonPaul: the alternate is similar to the desktop, except it uses the classic debconf installer like ubuntu server [05:04] sliverchair, ffmpeg or mencoder [05:04] _2 Let me see that [05:04] RonPaul: and you can upgrade with it [05:04] wgrant: one last question :) how do you make the desktop turn.. which keys do you hold and turn the mouse? :) [05:04] hi all..... i'm upgrading from 8.04 to 8.10>>> installation was uneventful, after restart i get this error> and the screen just locks there, i had the switch off using the hardware key>><<< server authorization directory(daemon/serv auth dir) is set to '/var/lib/gdm' but is not owned by user106 & group 114. pls correct the ownership or GDM config & restart GDM >>> how do i correct his? before this screen i get this error [05:04] Hey. I upgraded to 8.10 from 8.04. But when I try to "startx", i get "failed to initialize glx extension (compatible nvidia x driver not found)" - any ideas? [05:05] I just installed Ubuntu 8.10 (minimal installation). Now I want the network manager (and add wireless). What package do I need^ [05:05] <_2> all grub has to do is point bios at something it can boot. [05:05] thank you ripps i love you [05:05] hy [05:05] wastedfluid-lap: you probably need to install the nvidia driver again [05:05] ldiamond_: You have command-line version then? [05:05] rdw200169, I didn't do any manual installations.. [05:05] wastedfluid-lap: apt-get install nvidia-new-glx or something along those lines === Mors_ is now known as Morsa [05:05] Is ok [05:05] macvr: try uninstalling gdm with all its settings [05:05] Any idea how to get eth0 up from just a root prompt? [05:05] how do i install virtual box on an intrepid computer? [05:05] genii, right now I already added a few things, including x and gnome. [05:05] atm, no connectivity.. === Morsa is now known as Morsas [05:05] macvr stumps me [05:06] wow... i so want an intrepid computer [05:06] <_2> wastedfluid-lap ifup eth0 [05:06] mnguyen: you can try installing from source [05:06] all my computer are cowards and lame [05:06] macvr: also "id username" to tell you in what groups your user is in [05:06] jim_p how do i do that? i'm on the live cd... it doesnt boot into the system [05:06] they don't do anything by themselves :( [05:06] mnguyen: i usually have good luck with vbox from source; not too many problems [05:06] hy [05:06] "ifup eth0" returns ignoring unknon interface. eth0=eth0 ? [05:06] macvr: cant you boot to command line only? [05:06] mnguyen: just use the svn checkout [05:06] jim_p how do i do that? [05:07] _2 It was there as "title Windows 95/98/NT/2000 [05:07] root (hd0,1) [05:07] makeactive [05:07] chainloader +1" [05:07] rdw200169, svn checkout & compile? [05:07] <_2> wastedfluid-lap ifconfig eth0 # maybe. [05:07] NkZ830_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:07] :/ [05:07] wastedfluid-lap: about nvidia: what gpu are you on? there is a small bug with the drivers and xorg1.5 that ubuntu 8.10 uses [05:07] wastedfluid-lap: speak in another window? [05:07] <_2> NkZ830_ yeah that's it, not commented out is it ? [05:07] jim_p, It's a 8500gt. [05:07] Nope, not with the # [05:07] rdw200169, sure. [05:07] <_2> NkZ830_ should work then. [05:08] I use nvidia 6800 and a fly swatter [05:08] ldiamond_: network-manager-gnome and you may also want: wpasupplicant [05:08] Thing is it does not, which is weird. Check out what the partition manager says, let me write it up. [05:08] GOD, I hate this... [05:08] jim_p how do i do that? [05:09] wastedfluid-lap: then its the bug :( about the network stuff, can you kill network manager and use that gnome network applet to set the network?? [05:09] what do you guys recommend for a bittorrent client? [05:09] torrentflux [05:09] hi everyone [05:09] <_2> wastedfluid-lap sorry, ifconfig eth0 up # maybe. forgot the "up" also you might need to insert a kernel module to get the eth recognized [05:09] How can I wipe my disk 100% clean [05:09] macvr: sudo apt-get autoremove gdm --purge and after that sudo apt-get install gdm [05:09] What's it called when you hold alt and move a window? Is there a name for that? [05:09] Azhi_Dahaka: what happened? [05:09] I want a computer that states errors and then says "Press Y to fix or C to continue reading dated material on Google" [05:09] for some reason I can't do that with the ubuntu installer [05:09] The dev "dev/sda1" does not have a valid NTFS. Maybe you selected the wrong device. Or the whole disk instead of a partition. [05:09] how to you completly nuke a secondary hard drive. It's screwed up from another computer. But I can't hurt my current partition... And I'll install Ubuntu on it later. [05:10] jim_p i mean how do i do it from the live cd? mount it at some point? [05:10] rabiddachshund: grab and drag :P ? [05:10] It says "unable to read the contents of this partition" [05:10] Cmclean: copy a bunch of zeros or random data to it [05:10] Cmclean: use shred [05:10] Is there an equivalent for mac? [05:10] Maybe I just blew up windows sky high? [05:10] Umm K i'm like a noob so... English? [05:10] Cmclean: Wait, you're just going to reinstall? Just... reformat it. [05:10] <_2> wastedfluid-lap example: ifconfig eth0 192.168.254.254 255.255.255.0 up [05:11] yesyesyes [05:11] I need to reformat [05:11] hi [05:11] but like it's REALLY SCREWED UP [05:11] Ye can't blow windows sky high ... it's too bloated [05:11] Cmclean: there's no need to "wipe it clean" just fire up gparted and delete the partitions on it and recreate an ext3 one [05:11] unable to start xserver [05:11] <_2> Flannel ext3 partition ? [05:11] hi, i tried installing 8.10 without a net connection, but it still keeps trying to download stuff. anyone knows a fix?

Rhythmbox is fine. It's only Totem that doesn't play sounds at all. [05:14] thanks but ill use another spare drive [05:14] I think it warned me to back it up cause it was going to crash and I guess it just did [05:15] macvr: this means that the kernel was not able to write on the log [05:15] i dont want to upgrade. and i want to do a fresh install [05:15] genii:sry [05:15] Flannel: I've downloaded the alternate cd, but it still stalls if there's no net connection1 [05:15] <_2> pawan then do an sudo apt-get update ;sudo apt-get dist-upgrade || sudo apt-get install -f [05:15] Flannel: is there any way i can update from desktop CD [05:15] Dabbu: just by reinstalling, no upgrading. [05:15] Cmclean: Likely it is having SMART failure or so [05:15] Dabbu: no :( oly alternative cd can do upgrading [05:15] GarryFre: Apparently, VLC plays sounds. [05:16] jim_p it just stays at that screen for a long time too... it changes from the graphical progress bar to this screen ? should i just igrnoe this? [05:16] thomasite Ack! I remember having trouble with Totem, it was a pita, I would try using synaptic package manager and mark for reinstall totem and all other stuff with it [05:16] ignore? [05:16] I don't know if it is gimp update or combo of that and 8.10 but... but... it totally recognized my graphire 6x8 tablet, and it draws much prettier than before [05:16] Flannel: can i update from the CD we get from SHIP IT [05:17] Dabbu: unfortunately no, that also is the desktop CD [05:17] why can't you pipe like this: blah="GRRRR" | echo $blah ? [05:17] * _2 buys genii a coffee. [05:17] macvr: on recovery mode?! [05:17] Flannel: so they don't ship alternate cd...right [05:17] or can you blah="GRRRR" && echo $blah ?

[05:19] hey, got a question about Intrepid and monitors. I just purchased a used LCD monitor from someone, and made sure it worked before taking it. I noticed that when the computer starts the "blank screen" screensaver, the screen goes blank, but never comes back when I move the mouse or press a key. I have to wait an hour with the monitor unhooked from the computer to get a screen back. Does anyone know why this is happening? [05:19] god bless you all [05:19] <3 [05:19] also, I was wondering what the different between bash and sh is [05:19] other than in sh I can't use the arrow keys [05:19] genii: how can i do that..plz explain [05:19] Hi - how can I check to see which distro I am running right now?? [05:20] Is there a page that compares all the different flavors of ubuntu? x/k/ubuntu/etc? [05:20] frybye: I think it tells you if you open a console [05:20] Often if my grup fails to boot I hit e and replace the number at boot (hd#,1) where # is the number i try, i then hit esc and hit b to try booting it [05:20] Does anyone know how to setup Wireless on a minimal install? [05:21] hello? someone? :( [05:21] there is a command for the console I guess [05:21] <_2> Tyrath no. there are three basic conditions there, actually four. i'll enumerate. 1 ; 2 == run 1 then run 2 1 && 2 == run 1 and if it returns 0 run 2 1 || 2 == run 1 and if it returns non-zero run 2 1 & 2 == start 1 in the background and run 2 don't wait for 1 to end. [05:21] mkartic: you want to upgrade from the cd? [05:21] yup [05:21] I think I found the issue. [05:21] gnome-session-save isn't working for me in intrepid. nor is the 'automatically save session on logout' option [05:22] I need some help with ibex sound, its fail on installing ubuntu-desktop [05:22] frybye: look up the systems variables. You should be able to do echo $OPERATING_SYSTEM or something... - it probably won't be that tho [05:22] mkartic: put the cd in and type sudo apt-cdrom add && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade and forget insternet and stuff [05:22] Tyrath: just opening a console does not do it..? [05:22] it does beep through the soundcard when you hold a key down, so its functional [05:22] Grub won't recognize my Windows HD because it says "Error(22): Opening '/dev/sda1/' as NTFS failed: Invalid argument The device does not have a valid NTFS" how can I sold this? [05:22] frybye: bizarre. it does in ibex [05:22] Dabbu: This picture can explain better http://i37.tinypic.com/29kw7s1.png [05:23] solve, actually, not sold. typo there. [05:23] jim_p_: i can just mount the iso, and use it to the same effect right/ [05:23] is there a way to export firefox bookmarks, history and passwords? I used an application on WIndows (MozBackup), but i don't know if there's something similar on Ubuntu [05:23] Tyrath: i am supposed to be in (eeePC-)ibex..

[05:26] I-ll come back in a bit in case I didn-t [05:26] Thanks for your kind help, you guys own! :-) [05:26] <_2> welcome [05:26] toastedmilk: replace it with nvidia ;) [05:26] Anyone know anything about running Gnome on Feisty with ATI Raedon X1900? [05:27] rdw200169: ha! [05:27] hi [05:27] weird nevermind I got it... [05:27] toastedmilk: i despise ati drivers [05:27] !ati [05:27] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [05:27] well, that's all fine and good === lol is now known as Guest45541 [05:27] but I'm not asking how you feel about it [05:27] I already checked BinaryDriverHowTo [05:27] <_2> tellem toast [05:27] and I get "composite extention not available" [05:28] xD [05:28] Help, my keyboard is messing up... for some reason, it is "forcing" the keys "ctrl" and "alt", so when I press left or right, desktops automatically switch, and when I press "d", I end up on the desktop... etc [05:28] I can't help it that I already bought ATI, I just want to know if it'll work on feisty with gnome [05:28] try here again - what command do i need for checking which distro is running pse?? [05:28] <_2> toastedmilk what kernel ? [05:28] It does not do this when I am using the tty [05:28] Ubuntu Feisty 7.04 [05:28] Does anyone know how to setup Wireless on a minimal install? [05:28] <_2> toastedmilk what kernel ? [05:28] <_2> toastedmilk uname -r [05:29] toastedmilk: to find out what kernel you're running enter "uname -r" without quotes in terminal [05:29] already installed ati-driver-installer-8-10-x86.x86_64.run [05:29] kk one sec [05:29] Well anybody got any trouble setting NIC in static mode ? [05:30] KERNEL 2.6.20-17-generic [05:30] :) [05:30] <_2> toastedmilk and you installed the 64 bit driver ? [05:30] greetings! anyone could assist on libz.so? [05:30] <_2> what am i missing there ? [05:30] is there a way to export firefox bookmarks, history and passwords? I used an application on WIndows (MozBackup), but i don't know if there's something similar on Ubuntu [05:30] <_2> no wonder it wont work. [05:31] Azhi_Dahaka: try an extension known as foxmarks [05:31] what do you mean no wonder it won't work?? [05:31] I have a 64 bit motherboard [05:31] Azhi_Dahaka, just copy your .mozilla folder [05:31] is there any way I can get a list of the system vars ? [05:31] Azhi_Dahaka: there is a folder inside your home named .mozilla, back it up all of it [05:31] Help, my keyboard is messing up... for some reason, it is "forcing" the keys "ctrl" and "alt", so when I press left or right, desktops automatically switch, and when I press "d", I end up on the desktop... etc [05:31] Azhi_Dahaka, its ~/.mozilla to be precise [05:31] Azhi_Dahaka: i agree, just backup .mozilla [05:31] Azhi_Dahaka: and learn to use firefox with profiles [05:31] Why was the displayconfig-gtk package removed ? I want it badly, what is the alternative ? [05:31] <_2> toastedmilk but the kernel. is the kernel 64 bit, i don't think so... [05:32] I use profiles [05:32] Azhi_Dahaka: or, you can use bzr or svn to keep a versioned backup [05:32] where can I get a 64 bit kernel? [05:32] but I'm switching info from computers [05:32] sorry I'm a stupid noob in linux [05:32] hey guys, i need to understand as how can i install new themes for my ubuntu 8.10 [05:32] <_2> someone correct me if i'm wrong but KERNEL 2.6.20-17-generic is not k8 is it ? [05:32] oorjha: it was removed because the stupid xorg devs made the entire xorg.conf obsolete. so an app that can write xorg.conf is also obsolete [05:32] I don't want to update plugins config, just bookmarks history and pw [05:32] could someone please help me configuring 5.1 sound in intrepid ? [05:33] <_2> toastedmilk get the driver for the 32 bit kernel and try it. [05:33] _2: no it isnt [05:33] copying .mozilla will copy plugin config also [05:33] _2 it is generic so it will run k8 [05:33] Does anyone know how to setup Wireless on a minimal install? [05:33] so i just installed intrepid ibex this morning and at the time i thought it was a good idea to put /home on a different partition that was about 900 mb big. however i wish to move /home to my / partition if possible anyone know how id do this? [05:33] Hi - how can I check to see which distro I am running right now?? [05:33] roshan: do you have that other partition? [05:33] Azhi_Dahaka: yes [05:33] _2: I think generic replaced k8 and i686 a while ago [05:33] jim_p, Now how do I make Ibex recognise my monitor with resolution 1280x760? [05:33] <_2> maxxist it's one kernel for 32 and 64 bit ? [05:33] oorjha: not sure there is an alternative - everything is supposed to be detected [05:33] jim_p do i have as in? [05:33] _2 no 32 and 64 are different [05:34] they are all on one drive but multiple virtual partitions [05:34] is ubuntu.com running drupal? [05:34] roshan: is that other partition ready, formeted to ext3 and mounted etc? [05:34] !system variables [05:34] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [05:34] <_2> toastedmilk yes. remove the 64 bit driver and install the 32 bit. follow the wiki on how to [05:34] chovy: ask on #ubuntu-website [05:35] !environment variables [05:35] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [05:35] jim_p: yes. my / partition is on sda6 and /home is on sda8. i think i might have to do something other than just copy and paste and something about fstab but im not sure b/c im pretty new [05:35] <_2> !ati > toastedmilk [05:35] yo! old question but could sumbody tell me which is the best theme for ubuntu, I just switched to Ubuntu from XP on yesterday so I'm very noob [05:35] toastedmilk, please see my private message [05:35] oorjha: i am sorry to say i dont know, but it will take me some months before i move to 8.10. until then i cant know about the new xorg "capabilities" [05:35] !info-dist [05:35] Sorry, I don't know anything about info-dist [05:35] kbp: try darkroom it comes with 8.10 other wise check out gnomelookds [05:35] Any idea what is wrong with the keyboard? [05:35] yop [05:35] this ubottu bot doen't know anything ;) [05:35] oorjha: there isn't a replacement - 8:10 seems ok for now, but i haven't done many installations of it yet [05:35] dovel, Its not recognising by default, xorg.conf itself is not showing any details. [05:35] <_2> Tyrath what are you fishing for ? [05:36] kbp: sorry i meant to say gnomelooks [05:36] <_2> Tyrath lsb_release -a [05:36] hey can i burn a cd while on a live cd [05:36] oorjha: ye - the xorg.conf file is supposed to be pretty empty [05:36] roshan: I use 8.4, is it the same? [05:36] roshan: then add this in fstab /dev/sda8 /home ext3 errors=remount-ro 0 1 [05:36] How can I try "restarting" the keyboard? [05:36] _2: someone asked me how they know what distrubution they are on and I couldn't give them a solid answer. I responded that they could echo $SYSTEM_RELEASE or something but I didn't know what the bash var was [05:36] kbp: no its not, but you can check gnome looks and find a theme you like and install from there. there is alot to choose from [05:36] jim_p, dovel , Thanks for your time, I am going back to Happy Heron [05:37] roshan: i think you know how to do tge copying [05:37] oorjha: have you tried sudo dpkg -reconfigure... command you can find in xorg.conf? [05:37] <_2> toastedmilk about 9 years [05:37] hey can i burn a cd while on a live cd [05:37] Guest45541: If it's USB unplug, wait 20 seconds, and replug it [05:37] <_2> Tyrath lsb_release -a [05:37] kudi: if you have two cd drives, yes [05:37] jim_p: just copy /home from sda8 to sda 6 and then add those lines in fstab? [05:37] dovel, I will attempt that and get back to you [05:37] _2: thanks. is that the only way? [05:37] genii, it's a laptop keyboard :( [05:37] kudi if you do let me know!! [05:37] lol [05:38] dovel: unfortunately the dpkg-reconfigure stopped to make a proper xorg.conf months ago. stupid xorg devs! [05:38] <_2> Tyrath distrobution wise pretty much [05:38] i dnt think its possible [05:38] roshan: is the partition already mounted? [05:38] Guest45541: Is it responding at all ? eg: can you type on it and see the typing? [05:38] _2: ah k. cause the thing is I will forget about the lsb_release thing [05:38] jim_p: woops - gotta love that. How are we to configure old crt monitors easily? [05:38] roshan: ok! thanks alot ! sorry if I bother you again but how can I install it? (I've got a taz.gz file) [05:39] jim_p: i believe its mounted b/c i am currently using files from it in Desktop. also this what i have currently in fstab http://pastebin.com/m4abda231 [05:39] genii: I can use it perfectly on a tty... if I am using the gui version (what you get when you press ctrl+alt+f7) then it "forces" the keys ctrl and alt [05:39] _2: oh I didn't realise lsb_release was a linux thing. my bad [05:39] kudi I think it might be if you are able to mount a partition with an iso on it... [05:39] _2: I thought it was a ubuntu thing [05:39] jim_p: I guess it's back to writing everything into xorg.conf manually again... [05:39] kbp: you can go to the appearances option in ubuntu and go to the theme tab [05:39] kbp:then add or install i forget which [05:39] dovel: there is also "X -configure" that must be run when X is not running. it can create a better xorg.conf [05:40] <_2> Tyrath lsb == linux standards base [05:40] _2: what's the difference between sh and bash then? [05:40] i cant even eject the live cd [05:40] _2: I know, I looked it up with --help [05:40] sh - is a smaller shell. :) [05:40] roshan: then /home IS on a seperate partition now [05:40] roshan: ok thanks alot! I will have a play with it now [05:40] dr_willis: do you mean by smaller that it's not as powerful? [05:40] jim_p: thanks - forgot that one. I do a lot of old pc's for international students and refugees - so lots of old monitors that don't detect well [05:40] dovel, yes back to writing everything manually :( [05:41] jim_p yes i wish to move it to the / parttion b/c the partition it is currently on is small [05:41] the ubuntu wiki doesn't cover feisty [05:41] <_2> Tyrath in most cases /bin/sh is a symlink to /bin/bash. however /bin/sh is supposed to be 100% posix compliant. bash supports all of posix but adds a lot of fluff. [05:41] Tyrath, power is relative.. bash has more features.. its used as the users shell.. sh (is actually dash on ubuntu) is smaller in size/footprint but is still sh posix compliant. [05:41] anyone run openvz on 8.10 ? [05:41] anybody here with a DELL inspiron ? [05:41] Tyrath, sh is used as the system shell [05:41] hey is installing with Wubi different than literally install Ubuntu? [05:41] Can anyone help with uninstalling an ATI 64 bit driver and installing a 32 bit driver for gnome on Feisty? [05:41] oorjha: did you read jim_p's comment to use X -configure? [05:41] dr_willis: r u on a laptop [05:41] ? [05:42] dr_willis: ah k. cause the default shell on my release is bash [05:42] wolfie2x, i have one next to me with 8.10 in it [05:42] hi there, when i first install ibex in my notebook (not yet activated special effect), my totem is no issue playing dvd, but after I activated the special effect by typing "nvidia-xconfig" in the consule , my totem can't play dvd anymore, just freeze with no explanation http://img340.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot1oa5.png Anyone can help me out please [05:42] Can anyone help with uninstalling an ATI 64 bit driver and installing a 32 bit driver for gnome on Feisty? [05:42] Tyrath, the default USER shell is bash. system shell should be dash [05:42] hi, I was the one in here talking about my monitor. Well, turns out using another screensaver helped to keep my screen. It's gotta be something about the "blank screen" screensaver, which I'd rather prefer. It needs to be fixed [05:42] kudi good point. guess you need multiple cd drives also. [05:42] dr_willis: ah k [05:42] Tyrath, ls -l /bin/sh [05:42] lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2008-09-27 17:19 /bin/sh -> dash* [05:42] dr_willis: is it normal to have a tight loop of keypress/keyrelease events in xev for media buttons ? [05:42] Can anyone help with uninstalling an ATI 64 bit driver and installing a 32 bit driver for gnome on Feisty? [05:43] oorjha: what type of monitor are you having troubles with and what is the trouble? [05:43] wolfie2x, tight loop? never noticed them being tiht. [05:43] who maintains the installer, specifically the timezone portion of it? [05:43] <_2> Tyrath short and simple answer. any #!/bin/sh script will run in bash. not all #!/bin/bash scripts will run in sh the differance is commonly called "bashism" [05:43] _2: ah k [05:43] dr_willis: it should just print a few entriesand stop right? [05:43] dovel, dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg is not working as it used to be in hardy and previous releases.. It now completes in only 4 steps [05:43] dr_willis: mine goes in a loop [05:43] wolfie2x, id think so [05:43] * Tyrath likes how dash doesn't show all the rubbish in terminal [05:43] hello does anyone know about the Fish plugin for Compiz fusion? [05:43] like dash doesn't show ~ information [05:43] oorjha: what type of monitor are you having troubles with and what is the trouble? [05:44] Tyrath, rubbish? what rubbish? [05:44] dr_willis: the ~ stuff [05:44] jim_p: at the moment while browsing in nautilus i see that /home is in the same folder structure as usual that is in /. how would i copy that from the sda8 partition to sda6 partition though? [05:44] dovel, jim_p , I am using Viewsonic 17 inch widescreen with default resolution 1280x720 [05:44] for a user shell.. dash is so minimal its not very usefull at times [05:44] Tyrath, what ~ stuff? [05:44] Can anyone help with uninstalling an ATI 64 bit driver and installing a 32 bit driver for gnome on Feisty? [05:44] dr_willis: user@usercomputer~$: [05:44] dr_willis: can u help me? [05:44] I feel like such a bozo [05:44] Tyrath, bash is customizeable. - thats just the prompt... trivial to change that [05:44] Tyrath, export PS1="" [05:44] !separatehome | roshan [05:44] roshan: Your home folder is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home folder to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [05:45] iv'e tried installing the Fish plugin for the Cube i have the newest UBuntu [05:45] k [05:45] well, at leas Intrepid feels faster [05:45] Help, my keyboard is messing up... for some reason, it is "forcing" the keys "ctrl" and "alt", so when I press left or right, desktops automatically switch, and when I press "d", I end up on the desktop... etc [05:45] Can anyone help with uninstalling an ATI 64 bit driver and installing a 32 bit driver for gnome on Feisty? [05:45] dr_willis: I understand that line tells me I'm in ~ [05:45] DAMN!!! IT UNINSTALLED MY OPENOFFICE!!! [05:45] dr_willis: but what's the point in it oter than that? [05:45] <_2> Tyrath you can adjust your bash prompt anyway you like. export PS1='( this is now my custom bash prompt ) command \# ' [05:45] Tyrath, go read some bash prompt guides [05:45] roshan: the sda8 partition is already mounted as /home. thats what fstab says [05:45] Flannel: what's the advantage of having home folder in a separate part? [05:45] God... WHY ME? Why does Shuttlework hates me??? [05:45] Tyrath, theres 10000's of things it can tell you [05:46] wolfie2x: You can reinstall around it (reinstall your OS) without having to backup/restore your data/settings (you should still have backups, of course) [05:46] hi, just upgraded to ibex, dell inspiron with bcm4328, now i've lost both wired and wireless network entirely, dropdown says 'no network connections' [05:46] Can anyone help with uninstalling an ATI 64 bit driver and installing a 32 bit driver for gnome on Feisty? [05:46] oorjha: flatscreen or one of the old crt's? [05:46] <_2> Tyrath one thing i always setup is a different colour prompt if it's an ssh session. [05:46] Azhi_Dahaka: so, just reinstall OOo [05:46] Tyrath, my promot -> --(willis@black)-(52/pts/0)-(0146/01-Nov-08)-- [05:47] --($:~/bin/prompts)-- [05:47] dovel, flatscreen LCD, the problem is the horizontal and vertical syncs are not being detected automatically [05:47] hi, I'm trying to write in Japanese. I already installed the language support and I have SCIM. I am able to write on oppenoffice and Text Editor but I'm not able to activate the input mode in Kopete(mostly all chat applications). Any idea why it might be? [05:47] jim_p i understand. i am trying to move /home from sda8 to sda6 which is the partition on which / is [05:47] Flannel: but what happens to "." folders like .mozilla? wouldn't the old settings clash with new ones? [05:47] Help, my keyboard is messing up... for some reason, it is "forcing" the keys "ctrl" and "alt", so when I press left or right, desktops automatically switch, and when I press "d", I end up on the desktop... etc [05:47] _2: that sounds handy. how could I do the same? [05:47] roshan: can i pm you the procedure in terminal commands? [05:47] wolfie2x: There are no new settings. Your old /home/ becomes your new /home/ there is only one /home/ Basically, picture the entire home folder living in a partition. And then you re-use that folder [05:47] <_2> [ ! -z "$SSH_CONNECTION" ] &&\ [05:47] <_2> PS1='\[\033[01;31m\]\l [\u@\h:\w]\[\033[00m\] ' ||\ [05:47] <_2> PS1='\l [\u@\h.\w] ' [05:47] jim_p yes please [05:48] can I ask in piping what '-' means ? [05:48] Can anyone help with uninstalling an ATI 64 bit driver and installing a 32 bit driver for gnome on Feisty? [05:48] like for the file that gets the output (ie, after the pipe) usually a - is amended after it [05:48] Flannel: i mean the application settings that are in the home folder.. [05:48] wolfie2x: Indeed they are. [05:48] <_2> Tyrath drop that in your /etc/profile and /etc/bash.bashrc you can customize it as you like. [05:48] toastedmilk: You should upgrade, Feisty no longer recieves updates. [05:49] _2: sweet thanks [05:49] downloading the ISO for 8.04 right now [05:49] 8.10 just came out toastedmilk :) if ya want the latest and greatest [05:50] How do I find out my MAC address? [05:50] oorjha: run through the page at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=269052&highlight=1280 and see if that helps [05:50] Sad thing is I have AMD Athlon 64 bit and ATI Raedon X1900, and no thanks I need stable for this poorly-cooled bitch [05:50] <_2> AirstrikeIvanov ifconfig [05:50] xD [05:50] AirstrikeIvanov: i think its somewhere in ifconfig [05:50] I want to setup Wireless in Ubuntu. What packages do I need^ [05:50] _2: if I export will the prior settings be commented out or will they be removed from the file? [05:50] i'm trying to access a folder on my windows machine using samba but it's asking me to put in a username and password and my windows machine doesn't require a username/password to login [05:50] AirstrikeIvanov: just type: "ip link" in the command line [05:51] i tried the online resources... still unable to get my external hauppage tuner towrk [05:51] any ideas? [05:51] Anyone have thoughts on ubuntu in comparison to kubuntu or xubuntu? [05:52] toastedmilk: it's just different window managers [05:52] <_2> Tyrath the variables are set in line order i.e. if you set blah and two lines later set blah again the first setting is replaced with the second. [05:52] the new theme is awesome [05:52] hi, just upgraded to ibex, dell inspiron with bcm4328, now i've lost both wired and wireless network entirely, dropdown says 'no network connections' [05:52] toastedmilk: gnome/kde/xfce [05:52] I'm aware of that...I was asking for your opinion [05:52] I might have a fiddle [05:52] hate the coffee stain background, but the DarkRoom theme is cool [05:52] dovel, I'm planning to run hardy live cd and make a backup of the xorg.conf there and pasting it back here, instead doing all those manual stuff, Would that work ? [05:52] why you like gnome over kde or xfce, and whatnot. [05:52] ibex turned by graphic drivers off. any way I can turn them back on again? [05:52] toastedmilk: ubuntu [05:52] hi [05:52] but WHY damnit!? :) [05:53] toastedmilk: That question is best asked in #ubuntu-offtopic [05:53] sometimes the window borders don't appear unless i click on them, with compiz turned on [05:53] oorjha: most likely [05:53] <_2> Tyrath as per exports. it's common practice to export all variables that are set within an rc file at one time at the end of the file. export PATH PS1 MY_SPECIAL_VARIABLE SHELL ... [05:53] toastedmilk: OH! well, i prefer gnome [05:53] can somebody help me? [05:53] guestguestnew: what's up? [05:53] I want to setup Wireless in Ubuntu. What packages do I need? [05:54] <_2> Tyrath doesn't have to be that way but that's common and clean. [05:54] if only there was a DarkRoom for blubuntu... [05:54] Again, I say, but WHY!? hahaha [05:54] dovel, jim_p, Thanks for your time, booting hardy [05:54] rdw200169: sometimes, the top window bar, where the windows name appears, does not show up [05:54] toastedmilk: please take it elsewhere [05:54] guestguestnew: you're using compiz? [05:54] rdw200169: yes [05:54] guestguestnew: wobbly windows and such [05:54] _2: I do program. and everytime I've made unclean code I've always ended up screwing it up. so best that I do follow protocol [05:54] guestguestnew: it's a compiz thing, i get it once in a while [05:54] rdw200169: just the default features intrepid has on [05:55] toastedmilk, just get whatever, you can switch afterwards easily [05:55] ...It was still a serious question. I was just asking why linux users would prefer gnome over kde or xfce, so by the answer I could judge what was safe for me to use for my computer. [05:55] guestguestnew: you can disable compiz, that'll fix it [05:55] I know I can switch it was just a question! [05:55] yes... hmm, sometimes it just happens with compiz, guestguestnew [05:55] rdw200169: but i want compiz to be on? [05:55] guestguestnew: or you can try emerald, for drawing the window borders [05:55] _2: I've never learned C tho. Hence why I'm having trouble using bash and stuff. But I can see how bash is similar to PHP, which I have coded in [05:55] rdw200169: how can i use emerald? [05:55] guestguestnew: apt-get install emerald [05:55] toastedmilk: install all of them and then choose [05:55] Can anyone help me out setting up Wireless? I need to know what packages I'm missing [05:55] toastedmilk: Yes, and its off topic for this channel. Please ask in #ubuntu-offtopic [05:55] rdw200169: i've installed it already, but how do i activate it? [05:55] <_2> Tyrath heh, i'm totally unorthodox in that department. but then i am in most departments.... [05:56] Fair enough. [05:56] lol [05:56] guestguestnew: they put an application in system->preferences->emerald theme manager [05:56] onay [05:56] guestguestnew: but you need, first, to enable emerald [05:56] LAST time i ask [05:56] _2: well I see you have an idea of how to use XML :P [05:56] wahts the command to upgrade? [05:56] rdw200169: how do i enable it?

[06:02] <_2> Peddy you can put variables in there too [06:02] guestguestnew: yes, i think so [06:02] dr_willis: Preferably not, because the file would keep on changing as more is downloaded. [06:02] * Tyrath wishes every torrent didn't contain malicious content [06:02] anyone using a tv tuner from hauppage? [06:03] Peddy, i think ya need to clarify exactly what it is you are wanting to do.. i guess... [06:03] rdw200169: thanks, i'll check it out [06:03] hi. i just installed Intrepid. for some reason my monitor's native resolution (1680x1050) is not listed in the screen settings.

[06:03] Tyrath: Nope, I'm not an X person [06:03] dr_willis: When a download in Firefox is completed, I want a message to be appended to a text file on my harddrive. [06:03] Peddy, ya watch the file.. and if it stays the same for like 2 min.... then you could assume its done. :) [06:03] Flannel: would you know where I could go to fix my problem?

Also, this page has a number of other things: http://ubuntulinuxtipstricks.blogspot.com/2008/10/intrepid-update-faq.html some of which have to do with video drivers [06:05] is there a better room to be in? i just upgraded my laptop to intreped and now i've lost all my network connections, both wired and wireless [06:05] ok, thanks dr_willis and ldiamond_ [06:05] starkraving: i'm pretty good at networking, i think i can help [06:05] @rdw, thanks! [06:05] how can i end a process that's uninterruptible ? [06:05] <_2> Peddy the simple answer is use the script as a wrapper for your download process. and if that sounds like geek to you. let them explain. [06:06] Buenas a todos [06:06] starkraving: i tried to msg you but it says you're away [06:06] <_2> yeah howdy [06:06] _2, I understand, but I'd rather it monitors the download and automatically does the txt file thing [06:07] !info fam [06:07] fam (source: fam): File Alteration Monitor.

I'd remove them, but it wants to whack ubuntu-desktop when I do that. Why are these packages broken, and what is the right channel to get them fixed? [06:07] <_2> Peddy there are ways. i just dont want to devise one right now. colour me lazy, but it's shabbat [06:08] No problem [06:08] I'm on like 7 channels so one of them's bound to help :D [06:09] !info pidgin [06:09] pidgin (source: pidgin): graphical multi-protocol instant messaging client for X.

[06:10] Peddy, may be a bit overkill for your needs. :) [06:10] does xubuntu include an easy way to see current disk usage? (not just current free space)? [06:11] frederick85: yes. update-manager just streamlines the process. [06:11] is unison still provided for Ubuntu? I installed 8.10, but it's not in the repositories [06:11] zerothis: Does xubntu include baobab? (you could always install it) [06:11] Flannel: when i click on system, about ubuntu it says I have 8.04 installed still [06:12] is there any way to set the terminal header to the application that's running? [06:12] dr_willis: It sure is, but it could be useful in other situations. And it needs to be more tightly integrated with Firefox, e.g. it works for all downloads, not only one. I'm going to look for a FF plugin. [06:12] Tyrath, yes... with the proper bash prompt. :) [06:12] frederick85: What makes you think you don't? [06:12] hi [06:12] Flannel: I was trying to install 8.10 with apt [06:12] how do I install a command line only intrepid system? [06:12] dr_willis: which is? [06:12] Tyrath, check the bash-prompt-howto for such examples [06:12] frederick85: Alright, what have you done so far? [06:12] Seisatsu: you need an alternate CD or a server CD [06:12] dr_willis: where, it terminal? [06:13] Flannel: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [06:13] the alternate CD doesn't have the CLI option. [06:13] it = terminal [06:13] Tyrath, they print 'escape codes' that sets the terminal title. [06:13] it = in [06:13] Seisatsu: yes it does. hit f4 or f5 and its in there. [06:13] Tyrath, its a howto documentation. :) google for 'bash prompt howto; [06:13] dr_willis: ah k thanks [06:13] ah. It used to be on front. >> [06:13] frederick85: Without any modifications? That won't move you from Hardy to intrepid, just make sure your hardy is up to date [06:13] Tyrath, note that some tricks may only work withs pecific terminal programs. [06:14] Seisatsu: yes, was removed for confusion purposes ("Install a command line system" vs "Install a system via the command line" etc) [06:14] Flannel: I'm just using my knowledge from previous editions [06:14] Flannel: i'll find out how to to a upgrade then [06:14] beryl is the same as emerald? [06:14] frederick85: That's not how you used to upgrade either. Or at least, not all of it. [06:14] I know that not-software wise it is... but it could be a fork, so... [06:14] I made the mistake of installing Xen on my machine.. I have tried to remove it and think I have it removed.. However it keeps trying to update the xen kernel.. how do I remove this permanently from the upgrade list? [06:14] * Tyrath wonders how people survive webpages with distributions with no GUI [06:15] frederick85: First, make sure you have your metapackages installed (ubuntu-standard, ubuntu-minimal, your kernel metapackage (linux-generic probably) and your appropriate desktop metapackages. [06:15] Tyrath, you can get web browsers for the console. some can even do graphics [06:15] Seisatsu: Have you removed the xen kernel? [06:15] er, sfire ^ [06:15] dr_willis: I've got lynx but it doesn't do javascript [06:15] Flannel:nope. boabab not present. and I don't have the space for it (unless I lose irc chat:). I have xubuntu installed on a flood damaged 286 omnibook (I think thats what it was). I'm not sure what the drive is, its rusted and barely recognizable [06:15] Tyrath, theres other web browsers for the console that might [06:15] dr_willis: or https for that matter [06:16] frederick85: Once you've done that, open up your sources.list (/etc/apt/sources.list) and change all of the "hardy"s to "intrepid"s, then sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [06:16] dr_willis: does your version have a GUI? [06:16] Flannel: thankyou very much mate [06:16] dr_willis: i mean does your dist have a GUI? [06:16] zerothis: ah, you just need some way to see usage? df -h isn't doing it? or what? [06:16] Tyrath, most all disrtos come with X :) [06:17] dr_willis: in that case what's the different between ubuntu kubuntu and xubuntu? [06:17] hey guys ubuntu can be run on the intel macbooks right ? [06:17] just making sure [06:17] Flannel: df -h did it! thanks [06:17] yell0w: Yep [06:17] Tyrath, havent done any research eh? One has kde, one has gnome, other uses xfce [06:17] yell0w: the ppc version probably [06:17] I need help installing Wireless. Can anyone help me out^ [06:17] !kubuntu | Tyrath [06:17] Tyrath: Kubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE, the K Desktop Environment, instead of Gnome. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support: #kubuntu - See also !KDE [06:17] jim_p: no i'm asking the intel version [06:17] ldiamond: hit it!

[06:18] I'd like to integrate a vertial panel with a window list with my desktop background, in such a way that the transparent list will be sitting on top of a custom background, each window button falling within a particular spot on the background image. However, the height of the window list buttons changes as windows are added or taken away. Is there any way to hard-set the size of the buttons? [06:18] that's exactly what i want to do [06:18] Tyrath, of course. [06:18] Tyrath: yes .... [06:18] dr_willis: I thought ubuntu had X? [06:18] Tyrath, they all got X. [06:18] Hey there, I'm trying to use "rsync" to sync two directories, but I want to only rsync the executable files. is there an easy way to do this? Thanks! :) [06:18] Tyrath, X is the foundataion for the GUI [06:18] dr_willis: so then Xubuntu has the least functionality? [06:19] Tyrath, not really [06:19] c0mp13371331337: the size of the buttons on the taskbar? [06:19] Tyrath, just install xubuntu-desktop and try xfce if you want to know. [06:19] jim_p: Exactly [06:19] dr_willis: I'd rather not. bandwidth :/ [06:19] xubuntu is quite nice [06:19] dr_willis: besides installing ibex took ages [06:20] xubuntu is great if you don't like your operating system interfering with your apps. [06:20] I tend to use Rox-Filer+jwm :) [06:20] Anyone offering help uninstalling an ati 64bit driver and installing a 32bit driver in feisty? [06:20] my sister uses xubuntu on an old laptop, makes it feel as if it is fast [06:20] toastedmilk, you are using the 32bit disrto or 64bit disrto? [06:21] Hi. I got a DBus plugin for Firefox that notifies when downloads are complete; I want to write a script that is executed when the DBus signal from FF is received. Could someone please help me with this? [06:21] what is distro? [06:21] how can i install yahoo messenger on ubuntu? [06:21] c0mp13371331337: you can set the size of the panel and from the theme'e .gtkrc to change aspects like icon size on the button etc. can you please make a sketch for me to see what you mean? [06:21] gfgdg [06:22] toastedmilk, what version of Ubuntu/relase did you install? Your question makes little sence since i dont think you can install 64bit drivers on a 32bit os. [06:22] admin_masu3701: pidgin does yahho chat. and there's an old crippled Yahoo Messenger available on the Yahoo Site (offical Yahoo Messenger for 'UNIX') [06:22] 2.6.20-17-generic [06:22] toastedmilk: thats a long explanation. in general a disto is how a linux developer thinks linux must be. an opinion, a point of view [06:22] I'm 280MB short for upgrading to intrepid, what would be the easiest solution. I don't have a livecd to resize the partition [06:22] admin_masu3701: no. use pidgin [06:22] it's feisty fawn [06:23] 2.6.20-17-generic [06:23] help, how do i log in as root in intrepid? [06:23] waan: go remove all the archives for adept.. that should do it [06:23] guestguestnew: don't. Use sudo instead. [06:23] sfire: I [06:23] waan: how big is the upgrade in mb? [06:23] It's just the live cd my roommate had, and I bought a new hdd and didn't want to buy another copy of windows [06:23] jim_p: Well, the panel is on the side of the screen, so the buttons for the window list are horizontal, one on top of the other. If there's only one window in the list, it's a very tall button. If there are many windows, the height of each button gets shorter. [06:23] admin_masu3701: gyachi does yahoo chat/video but not sure if its apt-gettable. [06:23] Flannel: ok, but can i at least know how? [06:23] jim_p: sfire: I've done an apt clean, total size is 1530mb [06:23] admin_masu3701: also, there's another buggy app that I can't remember the name. It does Yahoo Messenger with some added features even, But its really buggy [06:24] guestguestnew: You don't. the root account is locked. It's impossible to log in by default. [06:24] isnt pidgin for AIM? [06:24] Flannel: thats weird? [06:24] guestguestnew: Not really, no. [06:24] toastedmilk, i suggest getting a newer version of ubuntu. that one is Quite old. [06:24] !root | guestguestnew [06:24] guestguestnew: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [06:24] I'm downloading the iso for 8.04 [06:24] admin_masu3701: Pidgin does _EVERYTHING_ [06:24] c0mp13371331337: yes, i understood that. buttons rearange themselves to make space. if you want more buttons, make a thicker panel [06:24] toastedmilk, why not 8.10 ? it just came out. [06:25] I don't want to risk 8.10 because I have AMD Athlon 64 and ATI Raedon X1900, with poor cooling [06:25] zerothis: except for fast transfers and camera and mic supoport [06:25] toastedmilk: Hardy is a fine choice. And LTS too. [06:25] ayttm for text-only is about it hort of trying windows msgr in wine [06:25] What package do I need to make my wireless work??? [06:25] Godd Morning friends :) [06:25] ldiamond_: what wireless card do you have? [06:25] Plus I don't know anything about linux, so LTS sounds good for me [06:25] ldiamond_: what is your wireless?!?!? [06:25] * dr_willis dosent see why thats a 'risk' ? [06:25] Good* [06:25] :) [06:25] hello... [06:25] guestguestnew: in terminal type sudo -i [06:25] jim_p: yah I suppose. Then pidgin does _EVERYTHING_ you _need_ [06:25] jim_p 4965AGN [06:25] lmao [06:26] is anybody here that can help me with my wireless card? [06:26] ldiamond_: what brand? [06:26] ziroday, 4965AGN (intel) [06:26] im doing upgrading now , exactly install upgrades :) [06:26] Petester: sure. we need to know what model and make it is [06:26] ldiamond_: open a terminal and type sudo modprobe iwl4965 [06:26] Flannel, what's the xchat command to make the text red for a user? [06:26] ldiamond_: one sec please [06:26] ldiamond_: nevermind, jim_p looks like he wants to help you [06:26] hi there, how to i upgrade from intrepid beta to intrepid (release version) ? [06:26] jim_p: any ideas, I have a spare 6gb partition [06:26] jim_p: columns of buttons I'm not worried about. The panel is fairly wide and has unobstructed access to 1200 pixels on the side of the screen. But I'd like to make the height of each window in the window list the same, regardless of how many there are. [06:26] jim_p, nothing is output [06:26] toastedmilk: You just prefix their name on the line (tab complete makes it easier), the clients do whatever they want (irssi makes them yellow) [06:27] @ziroday: I have an Acer 4520, I guess the model is Atheros AR5007EG [06:27] legend2440 thanks legend! but how do i log into the root account? hoping its possible [06:27] hold it guys one at a time!!! [06:27] quit the beta/unstable to go stable/release [06:27] keisangi: if you kept your system updated then it should all be done automatically [06:27] keisangi: Just regular updates will get you there. [06:27] Petester: one sec pleae [06:27] thanks =) [06:27] ldiamond_: then the module got loaded successfully. try a wireless scan [06:27] i need all who tried intrepid to tell me their opnions on it :) ? [06:27] Flannel, ziroday ok thanks :) [06:28] waan: what to do with it? virtualization! [06:28] lol... 1373 users in the room... if it was 1337 it would have been so cool [06:28] jim_p, how do I try a wireless scan? [06:28] jim_p: I mean, could I use that to add to / somehow, so I can upgrade [06:28] jim_p: are your good in jimp ? , and how can i learn it good , any good books ? [06:28] c0mp13371331337: i dont think this is possible. the panel has the habbit of giving as much space as it can [06:29] kebomix: in gimp?? no. in photoshop only [06:29] jim_p, When I go in my network manager, I only see eth0 and lo [06:29] <_2> surf raw. wget -qt 3 -O - $url_here | tml2text | fold -s | less [06:29] How, whats the default permission-set for a file? (digits) [06:30] jim_p: i know about photoshop , and i want to learn about gimp , and i cant find tutorials or any books ! [06:30] hey** [06:30] ldiamond_: open a terminal sudo network-admin is the wireless interface there? [06:30] jim_p: Blagr, I was afraid of that. Thanks though! [06:30] my bad [06:30] <_2> ChrisBookwood 644 unless it's executable then its 755 [06:30] Ive seen lots of tutorials on gimp... and i even got a book or 2 on it. :) they are a bit old now.. but still...

[06:32] NetLarIrvine: yes [06:32] From 8.04? [06:32] NetLarIrvine: yes [06:32] waan: better with the alternative cd [06:32] k, thanks [06:33] NetLarIrvine: the update manager should be offering [06:33] there isnt ath0 either though... in iwconfig there is only lo, eth0 and pan0 [06:33] hi all.... i upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10 , now i'm not able to start my system in normal mode... it says >> COULD NOT START THE X SERVER DUE TO SOME INTERNAL ERROR... PREVIOUSLY I HAD A SERVER AUTHORIZATION DIRECTORY ERROR that said /var/lib/gdm was not owned by user 106 & group 114, i reinstalled the gdm via recovery... now i'm stuck at the above error... how do i correct this ? [06:33] Petester: is it pan0 then maybe? [06:33] u know debian works fine but in ubuntu 7.10 the parameter is ignored [06:33] @ziroday.. one sec [06:33] Petester: ath0 is for atheros only, i said. if it was atheros, you wouldnt need ndiswrapper [06:33] Petester: yep [06:33] YOu have to update twice right?, once for the regular updates, then one more time to get the latest version of Ubuntu? [06:33] jim_p: I'm upgrading with the package manager.. [06:33] pan0: no wireless extensions [06:33] the only way is using -Y option [06:33] NetLarIrvine: yes [06:34] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC/Fixes#Wireless [06:34] ops [06:34] blackmetal : thanks :) [06:34] eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1b:24:5f:db:f4 [06:34] inet addr:192.168.11.6 Bcast:192.168.11.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 [06:34] inet6 addr: fe80::21b:24ff:fe5f:dbf4/64 Scope:Link [06:34] UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 [06:34] RX packets:66875 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 [06:34] Petester: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:34] k, thanks, that is kind of what I thought [06:34] waan: you will download the iso, mount it somehow and use it as an upgrade source sudo apt-cdrom add [06:34] maco: Petester you shouldn't need ndiswrapper for atheros cards however it should still work. I recommend you remove ndiswrapper and follow the instructions I gave you earlier [06:34] hi [06:34] gusx_: then there's the whole cn=config thing, with the pain related to loading schemas [06:34] unable to load nvidia drivers on ibex === felix-da-catz_zz is now known as felix-da-catz [06:34] geforce fx 5200 [06:34] jim_p: how does that use less space though, wouldn't it install the same packages? [06:34] Petester: put it in #flood or pastebin.com [06:34] pawan: which nvidia package are you trying to install [06:35] i tried to post ifconfig -a but i got a flood warning [06:35] through hardware drivers [06:35] Petester: pastebin [06:35] Is 8.10 way better than 8.04?? [06:35] !pastebin [06:35] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [06:35] waan: depends on what you have already installed [06:35] rdw200169: u know if is there a way to specify the preferred method of the slapd service ? [06:35] Petester: yes, you are not allowed to post large blocks of text in this channel. Either put it in flood or pastebin.com [06:35] NetLarIrvine: depends on your hardware [06:35] how to intall [06:35] NetLarIrvine: time will tell [06:35] http://pastebin.com/d4d8dbb27 [06:35] gusx_: what do you mean? [06:35] Laptop, dell [06:35] my bad [06:36] pawan: you could try installing through the command line [06:36] jim_p: ok i could probably remove 250mb of apps I suppose [06:36] pawan: or synaptic [06:36] how [06:36] hi there! every times i activate compiz, every video i play blink and try to stay on top of every other windows (not always on top option!!) 8.10 $ HD4850 [06:36] Petester: okay there is no wireless devices there in ifconfig -a. You can try to fix ndiswrapper or remove it and follow the link I gave you earlier [06:36] pawan: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx [06:36] alright [06:36] thanks a lot ziroday [06:37] i will try it now and come back to yu guys later [06:37] waan: yea but thats not a solution [06:37] pawan: sudo apt-get install nvidia-xconfig [06:37] jim_p: yeah but atleast I can upgrade and fix it later [06:37] rdw200169: in the man pages of xxx utils in the -Y option says "it’s not specified, the program will choose the best mechanism the server knows" [06:38] I want to upgrade to ubuntu 8.10. I have a large /home/ folder and want to know how I should back it up. I am going to start from scratch so I want to clean as much unneeded junk and just add stuff when I need it instead of cruising through. Would it be ok if I just backup my whole home folder and replace it back, or should I worry about junk and what is the best way to avoid putting bad stuff back on my system. [06:38] waan: your call [06:38] http://paste.ubuntu.com/65556/ [06:38] s/cruising through/cruising through synaptic [06:38] gusx_: you mean, the authentication mechanism? [06:38] felix-da-catz: is the /home/ a separate partition or just a folder? [06:39] jim_p: what if I mounted my spare partition to /tmp, would that make enough space for the downloaded files to sit? [06:39] No, I just did automatic partitioning. I am going to set my own this time. [06:39] felix-da-catz: if you don't want to keep your settings you can just copy all the non hidden folders in ~. If you need to keep your settings then backup all the hidden folders as well but this may cause issues [06:39] pawan: then, to enable the new nvidia driver in X, run [06:39] using ldapsearch fo the salsmechasnis advertised by the server via rootDSE GSSAPI i got supportedSASLMechanisms: DIGEST-MD5 [06:39] felix-da-catz: USB drive then.. or another hard drive (thats what I would recommend) [06:39] supportedSASLMechanisms: CRAM-MD5 [06:39] supportedSASLMechanisms: GSSAPI [06:39] pawan: sudo nvidia-xconfig [06:39] supportedSASLMechanisms: NTLM [06:39] gusx_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:39] So it would be best for me to go through all of the ~ if I want to save anything important. [06:39] .~ [06:39] waan: i am not sure that the files are placed in /tmp [06:40] so using ldapwhoamin with my ticket it keeps asking for password via DIGEST-MD5 [06:40] gusx_: what a pain! [06:40] sfire: Well I have a place to back it all up, but are you talking about permanently putting my /home/ directory on a USB or another harddrive? [06:40] http://paste.ubuntu.com/65558/ [06:40] jim_p: but that would work in theory if I found the right place, and used another disk for the upgrade files? [06:40] felix-da-catz: no.. just until you get the PC all reconfigured.. then copying it all back [06:40] felix-da-catz: after a fresh install, everything in your home folder will be overwritten. If you have any thing in there you want to save you shuld [06:40] was asking in #Ldap channel , but nobody answere [06:41] sfire: Ok, I wasn't quite sure what you were recommending. [06:41] pawan: good; now you need to restart your computer [06:41] ok [06:41] pawan: hopefully, if there aren't any problems with the nvidia driver, it should boot to the login window, etc... [06:41] ziroday: I understood that I needed to back it up, I was more worried about replacing it on my system. [06:41] ok i try [06:41] pawan, otherwise, remember what it said about the old xorg.conf file [06:41] You both have been big help. Thanks guys [06:42] you might have to switch it back to the old config if there's a problem [06:42] pawan: do you know how to do that? [06:42] i just upgraded to ubuntu 8.10 , and cant find network manager in top bar !!!!?! [06:42] hii all [06:42] hi [06:42] felix-da-catz: oh right, you can copy across normal (non hidden) folders just fine. Settings (hidden folders) can cause issues [06:42] gusx_: yeah, i don't know either [06:42] waan: they are stored in /var/cache/apt [06:43] hi [06:43] gusx_: i'm usually just happy when i can figure out how to get the darn ldap thing working the way i want it to [06:43] kebomix: try running "nm-applet" in the command line [06:43] how can I make it so I can access /dev/sdba without root? [06:43] jim_p: ok i'll give that a shot and see if it gives me enough space to upgrade [06:43] waan: !!! idea!!! why dont you empty that cache to make space? sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get autoclean [06:43] gusx_: i haven't even tried to figure out how to get it working with tickets and kerberos and all that [06:43] kebomix: right click panel and add notification area [06:43] ok [06:44] this is not like the other one in ubuntu 8.04 [06:44] jim_p: I did, its clean as a whistle [06:44] Why doesn't firefox ever close on ctrl-w, you always have to right click and close it from your toolbar? [06:44] Anyone know how to use synergy??? [06:44] i cant modify ip's [06:44] I wonder if piping a tar command through ssh is faster than copying over samba. [06:44] what do u need to do with ldap ? [06:44] C4N-S|SEAL45, yes.. i learned how from reading its manpages and the homepage/guides [06:44] The 64 bit download says 'amd 64'. Will this still work with my Intel proc? [06:44] how can I make it so I can access /dev/sdba without root? [06:44] gusx_: it's part of a project i'm working on for tracking user accounts: greamin.com/server [06:44] i add notification area but it dont appear [06:45] dr_willis: can I pm you? [06:45] waan: then i dont know what else to suggest [06:45] Xime, depends on what filesystem is is [06:45] Xime: I generally create/modify the fstab entry [06:45] idk Im trying to do hddtemp /dev/sda1 [06:45] C4N-S|SEAL45, have you read the man pages for it yet? check the homepage for info? [06:45] but says permission denied [06:45] dr_willis: yes, yes, and yes. [06:45] hi there, when i first install ibex in my notebook (not yet activated special effect), my totem is no issue playing dvd, but after I activated the special effect by typing "nvidia-xconfig" in the consule , my totem can't play dvd anymore, just freeze with no explanation http://img340.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot1oa5.png Anyone can help me out please [06:46] C4N-S|SEAL45, basically make a proper syngery config in /etc/ run syngeryserver on box and syngery client on the other. [06:46] C4N-S|SEAL45, do not 'ssh' to the remote box and run syngery that way. :) it can confuse things [06:46] bingungaja: have you tried another video player, such as vlc? [06:46] dr_willis: ssh? [06:47] !ssh | C4N-S|SEAL45 [06:47] C4N-S|SEAL45: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ [06:47] how can I make it so I can do "hddtemp /dev/sda1" without logging into root account [06:48] do i need SSH to run synergy? [06:48] C4N-S|SEAL45, no you do not [06:48] Hello [06:48] Xime, dont want to use the 'sudo' command? [06:48] i'm having problems with new ubuntu: 8.10 . searching with google looks like i got problems with my gnome [06:48] on the config page, for the hostnames, should i put the local ip's? such as 192.168 tec. [06:48] ziroday : tried mplyaer, don't work, tried ogle worked, but no panel to fw or ff, vlc-- haven't tried, but i'm very curious, is this because my totem not installed well or what [06:48] Snicks: what is your exact problem? [06:48] Snicks: what problems? [06:48] or the computername/hostname? [06:48] but I dont want to do on root account [06:49] I have 8.10 desktop i386 instaled and my network doesnt work. Why? It was good on previous version [06:49] woah, synergy looks pretty cool! [06:49] C4N-S|SEAL45, i always use the ip# [06:49] bingungaja: its hard to tell, what does running at the command line say? [06:49] so essential u are integrating radius with openldap [06:49] after i logged in, it gives a lightbrown screen and even after minutes of waiting and with failsafe gnome(suggested on forum) won't work [06:49] gusx_: yeah, it's a mess; i want to use ldap to track passwords (simple passwords, none of that kerberos hell) [06:50] Xime: i used these instructions to put temp icons on panel in gnome http://www.techthrob.com/tech/linuxsensors.php [06:50] gusx_: across radius, ftp, http, etc.. [06:50] Snicks: is this a fresh install? [06:50] ziroday: what do u mean ? [06:50] no, it's an upgrade [06:50] gusx_: i see ldap to be the way to integrate ip address management, for example, across coovachilli (radius) and dhcp [06:51] bingungaja: run "totem" in a terminal, select a video and pastebin what is spits out [06:51] dr_willis: My windows machine is running synergy server, my ubuntu machine has the config file there. do i need to have a config file on my windows machine? [06:51] Snicks: did this happen in hardy? [06:51] gusx_: because i'm not the one running the server, my friend rich is, who is not very good with linux [06:51] the reason that i didn't do a fresh install was 'cause i had some program's installed i didn't want to reinstall [06:51] never, ziroday [06:51] dr_willis: how do i run synergyc? when i run the command, says it cant find the server [06:51] C4N-S|SEAL45, no idea. check the windows docs, or it proberly has a systtray icon. [06:51] havent done it myself wit radius yet but http and ftp [06:51] ziroday: brb [06:51] Snicks: one sec [06:51] gusx_: so, i'm trying to set up ldap to store all the special information he will need to change [06:51] gusx_: for the different ISP subscribers [06:51] Snicks: does failsafe gnome work? [06:52] no, ziroday [06:52] gusx_: so the People subdirectory in ldap would be all he had to mess with for everything [06:52] even that won't work, i've read that on the forum it should work [06:52] Snicks: so it just stays on the light brown screen and nothing happens at all? [06:52] that's right,ziroday [06:52] !help ftp [06:52] Sorry, I don't know anything about help ftp [06:52] C4N-S|SEAL45, synergyc and synergys [06:52] are installed when you install synergy [06:52] Could You help me please_ [06:52] ? [06:53] @rdw200169, last quick question, will it be okay during the new install to just point it to my existing ubuntu partition? [06:53] anybody help me plz , i just upgraded to ubuntu 8.10 and i cant find network in the top tool bar and battery also !!! [06:53] gusx_: so if he wants to change a subscribers bandwidth allowance, for example, it would be easy, to include changing a password, ip, internet gateway, etc... [06:53] Snicks: can you run this command "mv ~/.gnome2 ~/.gnome2.old" and then try login again [06:53] starkraving: no, it won't work, [06:53] jim_p, working fine now, manually edited the xorg.conf [06:53] starkraving: it will force you to format the partition you allocate for / [06:53] kebomix, right click on the panel and perhaps add the applets you want? [06:53] ziroday, you mean with my livecd run that command and than boot from my HDD again? [06:53] Question, for a SHOUTcast radio station, how do I get the URL in this format: http://station_name.com:7040 ? Who knows? ^_^;; [06:53] dr_willis: were do i put the config file for synergy in ubuntu?? [06:53] Snicks: yep [06:53] okay, that's fine... but i can point it to that existing partition, after backing up [06:53] oorjha: well done [06:53] starkraving: now, if you had /home on a different partition, you could specify that, and it won't format it [06:53] Snicks: wait! [06:54] i'll try yet, ziroday [06:54] dr_willis: i want network manager like ubuntu 8.04 i cant find it !!!! [06:54] does anyone know of a program that can execute a script when a certain dbus signal is recieved? [06:54] ok [06:54] still unable to enable nvidia drivers [06:54] Peddy: i don't think so, but it would be pretty easy to write one using python-dbus [06:54] ziroday: http://paste.ubuntu.com/65563/ --- HERE U GO [06:54] hmm anyone else having problems with wpa and ibex? it was working in hardy [06:54] jim_p, basic methods always work. Hope we will get some respite in JJ [06:54] dr_willis: when they say put the config file here,,, /etc/synergy.conf were do they mean? [06:54] Snicks: better idea, boot into the hdd and go to the terminal and type adduser testuser. Then try to login as testuser [06:54] dr_willis: is that the home folder or what? [06:54] bingungaja: thanks [06:54] got it , how u plan to get the network equipment search the ldap directory for bandwith values ? [06:54] C4N-S|SEAL45, according to the man pages make one ---> /etc/synergy.conf [06:54] pawan: can you post the file /var/log/Xorg.0.log to the pastebin?

Are you running hardy or intrepid? [06:55] how to open that file [06:56] ziroday : intrepid [06:56] C4N-S|SEAL45, if you learned about ssh you could just open up a terminal over to the machine [06:56] pawan: Alt + f2 -> gedit /var/log/Xorg.0.log [06:56] Snicks: press ctrl + alt + f1, to go to a terminal and ctrl + alt + f7 to get back to the login screen [06:56] but i use both pcs alot... which sucks [06:56] i just need to get this setup [06:56] the AS'S can do that via radius authorization ?

PREVIOUSLY I HAD A SERVER AUTHORIZATION DIRECTORY ERROR that said /var/lib/gdm was not owned by user 106 & group 114, i reinstalled the gdm via recovery... now i'm stuck at the above error... how do i correct this ? [07:09] Question, for a SHOUTcast radio station, how do I get the URL in this format: http://station_name.com:port# ? Who knows? ^_^;; [07:09] check your .bashrc an .bash_profile to see if it reads the /etc/bash.bashrc [07:09] kebomix the first part of that line is your login name, the second is nm-applets PID [07:10] kebomix: to kill it we now type "kill PID" [07:10] jim_p, ntp-server is also obsolete now? [07:10] is there a way to stop windos from being magnetic to the screen borders? [07:10] er....ziroday? [07:10] kebomix: but what just a second with that [07:10] kebomix: it MIGHT disconnect you from internet [07:10] windows [07:11] anyone out there that can help me install my awn applets ? confusing the @#$$ out of me [07:11] oorjha: to sync your time ? [07:11] why is this problem :@ :@ [07:11] kebomix: if, for some reson starting it again doesnät work, you might have to reboot to get it up again [07:11] jim_p, yes, there is no option in time preferences [07:11] ay^: i rebooted it up 1 time , still have same problem [07:12] kebomix: okay, so then this might not work, but at least when you start it with "nm-applet" it might give you an error message [07:12] hi all.... i upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10 , now i'm not able to start my system in normal mode... it says >> COULD NOT START THE X SERVER DUE TO SOME INTERNAL ERROR... how do i correct this?

[07:14] sweet, ok I've fixed up the terminal header, only I want to know what system variable indicates the filename of the file that is currently running [07:14] oorjha: sudo ntpdate pool.ntp.org [07:14] macvr, maybe try reinstalling ubuntu-desktop [07:14] My rhythmbox does not show the RADIO option.... I'd like to listen to radio there.... I asked in launchpad but no one asnwered. How can I restore it? [07:14] when I check the Update Manager for the second time, it is not telling me that I can update to 8.10, I have 8.04 now, why is that? [07:14] jim_p: i had the gdm error... u had asked me to reinstall gdm.... now i get this error i'm not able to start my system in normal mode... it says >> COULD NOT START THE X SERVER DUE TO SOME INTERNAL ERROR... how do i correct this? [07:14] sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [07:15] do that first [07:15] Qrawl: i reinstalled gdm... how to reinstall ubuntu desktop? is it different? [07:15] sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [07:15] macvr: any more info about the error? [07:15] ay^: what's the system variable for the program that is currently running? [07:15] qrqwl ok... [07:15] Tyrath: hu? :) [07:15] Qrawl: ok... [07:15] then do the Update Manager?? [07:15] Tyrath: by variable, do you mean command? [07:16] lifestream: Edit>Plugins>FM Radio [07:16] ay^: I want to put the title of the program that is running in the terminal header [07:16] jim_p: ? what other info? it says contact system admin//// [07:16] NetLarIrvine, try update-manager -d [07:16] ay^: I mean $FILE_THAT_IS_RUNNING - whatever that may be [07:16] oh.. I don't know that sorry [07:16] aw man, pcmanfm deleted not only selected folder but all folders in current directory... [07:16] ak np [07:16] outbri, Yeah, that's what I thought too, but it's not listed there. [07:16] Qrawl: it says.. ubuntu-desktop is already the newest version. [07:17] macvr: you could try command on gdm or xorg [07:17] macvr: cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log [07:17] outbri, I checked on the website and it says the plugin comes with rhythmbox so... O_O [07:17] Tyrath: $_ [07:17] jim_p, thanks, but sudo is giving the error, timestamp too far in future.. Will this be corrected after next reboot? [07:17] macvr: look in there for errors [07:17] bimberi: thanks [07:17] oorjha: i guess so [07:17] lifestream: what version of rhythmbox? [07:18] It says it is downloading files, then nothing happens with the Update Manager [07:18] I'm using a fresh install of Intrepid and just today my audio started only playing out the left channel... Anybody seen a problem like this before? I have Sigmatel audio. [07:18] outbri, 0.11.6 [07:18] macvr, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=368168 [07:18] so i have 2 virtual hosts, both using servername. I have a domain on the box that shouldn't be accessible via web, yet if you go to it, apache selects one of the vhosts for it. how do I disable that ? [07:18] lifestream: hmm, that's the same version that I have the plugin there in. [07:18] outbri, strange! [07:19] Can I upgrade from the terminal?? [07:19] bimberi: ok now I hav ~//etc/bash_completion in my header. is that right? [07:19] NetLarIrvine, sudo apt-get install dist-upgrade maybe [07:19] k [07:19] i tried to make a new user to make my 8.10 upgrade sucesfull, but first i looked like it would work, but it gave after my light brown screen a black screen, working mouse, but no gnome [07:20] hey ziroday.. areyou here?\ [07:20] bimberi: $_ isn't working :( [07:20] Tyrath: hm, perhaps $_ isn't quite the thing then [07:20] Qrawl: seems to be a similar prob... will try that... [07:20] Tyrath: sorry, apart form that i'm not sure [07:20] :( [07:20] Told me it could not find package "dist-upgrade" [07:20] sudo apt-get dist-upgrade maybe [07:20] jim_p: i'm not sure what i'm looking for... in the xorg.o.log! [07:21] anyone? just want to prevent domains without a virtualhost to not be served the "default" or "first" virtualhost site [07:21] * Tyrath wonders how everyone else distinguishes between the terminals? [07:21] macvr: for a line starting with (EE) [07:21] how can i mark apackage NOT to be installed by any means? [07:21] yea that succeeded but it told me 0 upgraded, and 0 newly installed [07:22] Maybe 8.10 is not available right now?? [07:22] 'Use this method if the system being upgraded is not connected to the Internet. ' <-- installing from alt cd still keeps accessing the Internet :(. any fix? [07:22] 8.10 is not an LTS, perhaps you should edit that as mentioned on www.ubuntu.com? [07:23] so say you execute a program in bash. how can you find that name? or do you have to use ps $println [07:23] opps, ok, did not realize that [07:23] NetLarIrvine, maybe sudo do-release-upgrade [07:23] Hi Friends [07:23] hello friendly helpers! I just upgraded from hardy LTS to intrepid and my sound does not work. I followed the advice given in this thread. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449, i purged and reinstalled everything he said to in that thread, my ubuntu desktop and gda were uninstalled as part of that but i reinstalled them and that works fine now. Someone please help me figure out what to try next? [07:23] how can i upgrade to 8.10 without being connected? [07:23] Anyone know how to write a bootable .iso to a USB drive?

Qrawl has directed me to a forum thread... will check it out tooo [07:23] can somebody help me with my problem about intrepid with no gnome? [07:23] !debconf [07:23] debconf is a configuration management system. All packages that support debconf are configured when they are being installed. If you want to change a configuration option later, you can do so using dpkg-reconfigure [07:24] Told me no new release found [07:24] khelll: you can get a cd from canonical and upgrade with that. [07:24] macvr: i dont know what to say [07:24] khelll: from an alternative installation cd [07:25] or should i say ps ax | grep [07:25] jim_p what is the alternative cd ? [07:25] jim_p: [bak!] it STILL keeps accessing the internet! [07:25] how to find the default font a server uses ?? [07:25] mkartic: can you remind me? [07:25] jim_p is't the text one ? [07:26] khelll, the alternative installation cd. [07:26] khelll: yea [07:26] sorry, sure. u gave me the 'sudo apt-cdrom && . . .' command to install from the alt cd, but it still tries to download from the net [07:26] hello friendly helpers! I just upgraded from hardy LTS to intrepid and my sound does not work.

[07:26] i tried to make a new user to make my 8.10 upgrade sucesfull, but first i looked like it would work, but it gave after my light brown screen a black screen, working mouse, but no gnome, can somebody give another thing i can try? [07:26] how can I make alsa to output surround sound via line-in and mic-in jacks? [07:26] my motherboard don't have dedicated jacks for 5.1 sound [07:26] That is correct , had to change it to a regular release, not a LTS, thanks [07:26] ziroday : it did work, actually i just intall pulse studio and don't understand what i'm doing LOL [07:26] thanks for trying to help anyhow [07:26] groceryheist: if someone knows the answer to your question they'll answer it. otherwise re-entering it isn't going to help. [07:26] KenzoIX i doubt that is possible [07:27] thanks, Snicks [07:27] hey [07:27] in windows it works just fine :-( [07:27] groceryheist: and I myself don't know the answer, mine didn't work but I have two sound sources, so I just use the one that works. [07:27] I'm using a wireless connection for internet, and ubuntu keeps asking for the passwd every startup. How do I set it automatic? I'm using a fresh 8.10 [07:28] groceryheist: why do you think it's not possible? [07:28] #ubuntu-ge [07:28] because the line in and mic are inputs on the sound card, they are not designed to output [07:28] how good is 8.10 ? [07:29] 8.10 amd64 - more or less bugs in applications that in 8.04 [07:29] !good | LimCore [07:29] LimCore: 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, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [07:29] ziroday : it did work, actually i just intall pulse studio and don't understand what i'm doing LOL --- are u there ziroday [07:29] how to i find the default font used by the server ? [07:29] my mainboard have only 3 audio jacks and it works fine in windows :-( [07:30] you said you have 5.1? [07:30] well, is 8.10 amd64 stable yet, or still lot of problems? [07:30] KenzoIX: I'm sure it is possible, but you might have to re-wire the sound card to do it. The software isn't designed to do it backwards, windows doesn't even do it. [07:30] my gnome still won't start up, somebody willing to help me? [07:30] groceryheist: yes [07:30] from 3 jacks? [07:30] yes [07:30] ok [07:30] groceryheist→ 3x2 = 6 = 5 + 1 [07:30] ya i know [07:31] but getting them to output stereo is a trick [07:31] well [07:31] how can i mark a package NOT to be installed by apt in any way? the package is in the repos [07:31] not stereo, but you know [07:31] ya [07:31] LimCore: I've been running 8.10 for about 3 months now, and haven't had any terribly major problems. just depends how much you want to deal with. I had problems in 8.04 also. [07:31] can someone help me i am trying to install awn-extras-applets-trunk having toubles [07:32] i wouldnt know how to help you, im just surprised it can be done, probably depends on the card [07:32] in windows realtek driver just let me choose when i plug something in [07:32] You know what is amazing, with all these upgrades, that the software on Ubuntu still is compatible [07:32] Never would see that with MS [07:32] so you probably have to find a 3rd party driver or write your own [07:33] any ubuntu psp channel? [07:33] I just booted off the live CD.. everything seems to work but I want to test out the wireless drivers. Under Administration ---> Hardware Drivers I see it listed and I can click activate but it doesn't seem to do it.. Is there a way I can get it to work while in live mode? [07:33] NetLarIrvine, that's the whole idea behind "distributions" of Linux - the whole thing is integrated to some extent [07:33] PSP? [07:33] http://paste.ubuntu.com/65578/ <--someone help me with this? [07:33] Such a good feeling knowing, you can have an OS that does the break everything when upgraded [07:33] so there is no easy way to make alsa output sound via line-in and mic-in jacks? [07:33] wow [07:33] intrepix is amazing [07:34] i'm asking thousands of times: can somebody help me with my gnome that won't start up in intrepid even after making a testuser? [07:34] KenzoIX→ maybe there is a on/off switch for it in the ALSA mixer [07:34] im not going to say that, but i don't know how you would [07:34] The applicatoins are intergrated??

[07:35] how come my mplayer can't see my dvd location ? [07:36] hey pwd gets the folder you are in. what command gets the file you are in? [07:36] Snicks→ you still get to the login screen? [07:36] outbru i get this message E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) [07:36] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?

[07:36] magnetron, after the black screen with mouse pointer i won't [07:36] Dorobo18jp: close any other package manger you have running [07:37] jim_p: prob is not permissions? [07:37] magnetron: see the thing is I want to put the filename in my terminal header [07:37] Snicks→ but before the black screen you get to enter your username and password? [07:37] macvr: then what is it? [07:37] macvr: :O are you on ati and fglrx? [07:37] magnetron, i do, yes [07:37] jim_p: s [07:37] s? [07:38] i can login, thereafter i got a light brown screen, thereafter nothing happens [07:38] jim_p: ati [07:38] macvr: and fglrx too? [07:38] what's the alternative to xhost + ? [07:38] Snicks→ you can choose a "session" at that point. try to choose the default GNOME instead of "same as last time" [07:38] anyone give any advice on the ntfs-3g driver? is it stable enough to use it to mount my home directories with something fstab like /dev/sda1 /home/ ntfs-3g defaults 0 0 ? [07:38] Tyrath: Ctrl-z to get out of the file and back to the terminal - bg to put it to the background and fg to return it to the foreground [07:38] jim_p: i think so fglrx... how do i confirm? [07:38] how come my mplayer can't see my dvd location ? [07:38] magnetron: i tried GNOME, failsafe GNOME both won't work [07:39] dovel: thanks, but all i need is the pwd for files [07:39] closed and i get this Reading package lists...

[07:39] dovel: like pwd is to directory as " " is to file [07:39] Snicks→ try to describe to the channel what you've done to try to solve the problem [07:39] pdlnhrd, dont use ntfs-3g or ntfs for your home directory [07:39] macvr: cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep Driver [07:40] ok sorry [07:40] pdlnhrd→ NTFS doesn't support UNIX user ownership/permissions, you'll be very sorry if you use it for /home [07:40] jim_p: Driver "fglrx".... [07:40] Dorobo18jp: I'm don't know anything about that package, it sounds more like something you'd use svn for, but I don't know. [07:40] i tried to login with my usual user/passs in last sesssion, 'normal' GNOME, failsafe GNOME : gives all that light brown screen, also after making a new user with that options: won't work [07:40] dr_willis: I went to that thing for changing the header. it told me how to change the title but said nothing about how I could insert the filename into the header [07:41] Tyrath, ive no clue what you mean by 'header' [07:41] gives the same errors as with my old user/pass [07:41] magetron: that is the sort of response i was looking for... thank makes a good reason [07:41] how do i kill that !@#$ nteworrk manager applet of gnome?!?!?!? (i just got ibex in vbox :)) [07:41] Is there any repo with kde 4.2 trunk for kubuntu ? === Acky is now known as Acksaw [07:41] dr_willis: I mean the title of the terminal [07:41] hey all, is it possible (While in the same OS) to move /home to a partition? [07:41] Tyrath→ whenever you are running a terminal command, you are in a directory, not a file. [07:41] macvr: and you are on 8.10????? [07:41] Tyrath - when u hit ztrl-z, it will show you the name of the file and the path to it [07:42] ctrl-z [07:42] dovel: when I hit ctrl-z it cancels the process [07:42] Tyrath, you can change the title bar title with the proper escape sequences.. - Not sure what you are asking. [07:42] can somebody help me with this simple problem, i've changed the theme and gdm screen to clearlooks and gave it a blue color, but when logging in their is this brief moment when the screen is brown, how do i change that? [07:42] jim_p: s.. 8.10. i now tried to activate the restricted drivers... but it does not activate... i'm using ATI X1400 [07:42] how can I change which is the default kernel to boot with grub.. step by step please = newbie...? [07:42] just hit fg to bring it back to the foreground [07:42] dr_willis: if I open a program I want the program title to show up in the title of the menu bar [07:42] i solved my problem [07:42] Tyrath, use ctrl-z then 'bg' to run an app in the background. [07:43] downloded 64bit ubuntu 8.10 Live CD, booted up upto start selection option everything fine, when i select first option system hangs there, just mem test runs fine [07:43] tyrath: then fg brings it back to the foreground [07:43] had to load my driver [07:43] Tyrath, what program? if you run 'gedit' from the terminal you want it to say gedit in the xterm terminal title? [07:43] dr_willis: exactly. but not just for gedit, for everything [07:43] Tyrath, sounds rather useless to me.. [07:43] macvr: fglrx does not work with xorg v1.5 ubuntu 8.10 has!!!! can you edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf now? [07:43] I have upgraded ubuntu 8.04 to 8.10 [07:44] macvr: that is THE reason i dont upgrade to 8.10 yet [07:44] dr_willis: on the contrary. I don't have to click on every terminal tab to work out the one I want. [07:44] Tyrath, youd proberly have tow rite a script that does it for one app and have it called by the bash prompt every time [07:44] how do i kill that !@#$ nteworrk manager applet of gnome?!?!?!? (i just got ibex in vbox :)) [07:44] Hmmmm Ubuntu Server vcolo I'm trying to use openvpn but I get: Cannot open TUN/TAP dev /dev/net/tun: No such file or directory [07:44] nm-connection-editor does not update the changes [07:44] jim_p: how do i edit xorg? [07:44] It didn't look like there were any pre-reqs I didn't need [07:44] any ideas? [07:44] Tyrath, gedit is a gui tool.. whats the point? or are you confuseing things again? [07:44] jim_p what is the reason? [07:44] dr_willis: i know what gedit is [07:45] macvr: are you on command line only? then sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf [07:45] what would be the best way to share 6 TB of info between windows and linux on the same system? what should the shared filesystem be? ext3 with the windows kernel driver (with no journaling) in windows or ntfs-3g from linux side with no permissions. it is a video editing box (CS Masters 4) windows and a development box Liinux [07:45] dr_willis: and gedit is irrelevant to what I'm trying to do [07:45] jim_p: i'm in recovery mode... could that be a reason that the restricted driver is not activating? [07:45] tyrath: so u want to use the 'set title' command in the terminal menu? [07:46] SJrX: for me killing the applet? i hate nm and i want it removed [07:46] is there Qt 4 installed in 8.10 intrepid? [07:46] I think Ubuntu needs more commercially written software [07:46] Tyrath, guess determine where http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prompt-HOWTO/xterm-title-bar-manipulations.html is setting the title bar from and sonme how stick in a variable/script that tells it the name of the last ran command. [07:46] macvr: no [07:47] dovel: you know how in the title of terminal it says user@userhost: current directory [07:47] did anyone ever compile their whole system with asmlib? [07:47] dr_willis: I went to that link before - it showed me how to set the title but not how to make the title read the file that is currently running [07:48] macvr: are you on xorg.conf now? replace fglrx with radeonhd [07:48] Tyrath, yep.. thats the trick.. find the env variagle thats showing the currently running application [07:48] how can I ask Bot? [07:48] how do i kill that !@#$ network manager applet of gnome? [07:48] compiling an Ubuntu box to use asmlib entirely is complete ownage [07:48] tyrath: yes - you want to change the tab name [07:48] Need more really polished stuff, so people can forget about MS [07:49] dr_willis: i couldn't find it anywhere [07:49] Zoal what is asmlib ? [07:49] Tyrath, if its not in the 'set' variables not sure of a way to get it either.. [07:49] Does anyone use guarddog?

[08:18] will I be able to log Ubuntu OpenWeek?

I only need one screen at a time [08:19] ay^: but i have USB live with persistance or something like that: when I create a file on the desktop, it is STILL THERE on next LIVE boot!

The Desktop now has icons for each mounted folder. I do not want this. Is it possible to get rid of the icons without unmounting the drives ? [08:30] can someone help me? [08:30] homy, if someone knows, there will be an answer.. please don't hammer. [08:30] so nobody knows schmick. [08:31] bad. [08:31] macvr: maybe, i dont know [08:31] http://paste.ubuntu.com/65591/ [08:31] frybye: hostname on its' own will tell [08:31] frederick85: did you get out?? [08:31] frybye: or open a new terminal, and it should say $user@hostname: [08:31] i restarted it [08:31] seems to have worked.. so that would appear to mean sudo is working also... [08:31] frederick85: oh ok :( [08:31] jim_p: you know if the video card 9550 is compatible with the desktop effects of ubuntu 8.1? [08:31] jim_p: ... i'll get back after i do it all... thanx.. [08:31] ls [08:31] otay [08:32] new terminal wont open... [08:32] lolmac: 9550 as in ati 9550? your best chance is to use the opensource radeon driver [08:32] say one wanted to install an OS from a USB drive. I'm pretty sure one must first mount the .iso to the USB and then boot from it, correct? [08:32] lolmac: should be. i had an old radeon 9250 card (same chipset as the 9550) and got it working eventually [08:32] jim_p: so X -configure makes a blank screen what about X -config? [08:32] I have just done the injternet upgrade of ubuntu 8.04 to 8.10. Everything went fine until the reboot. My machine has hung, last message was *Running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local) [OK] when i ctrl alt del i get a msg saying "Stopping gnome display manager" then a few momnents and quick ubuntu splash screen flashes up and reboot...... [08:32] it's an option homy, intrepid is just a few hours old... maybe you should look/ask in the forums. [08:32] I just got some NTFS remote shares mounted in Ubuntu. The Desktop now has icons for each mounted folder. I do not want this. Is it possible to get rid of the icons without unmounting the folders ? [08:32] hi, i just upgraded to 8.10, and update manager shows me 300mb of upgrades, all of which look like i already have them. is this normal? [08:32] I will try to re-boot and see what happens I think.. this is on a different pc right now..ö. [08:32] frederick85: it made a file named xorg.conf.new in /root [08:33] frederick85: but it fell into the vesa bug :( [08:33] suspect43_: yep. [08:33] frederick85: that black screen is the proof of the bug [08:33] there is a release party here in Berlin this afternoon - so if the worse comes to the worse there are a few real geeks there too.. heheh [08:33] suspect43, might be a newer version of the same package. [08:33] already? [08:33] suspect43, so it's normal. [08:33] roger_, it could be your X window crashing, i've encountered the same problem before. [08:33] it's been just a day [08:34] jim_p: so maybe i have to write the configuration manually? [08:34] no [08:34] I just got some NTFS remote shares mounted in Ubuntu. The Desktop now has icons for each mounted folder. I do not want this. Is it possible to get rid of the icons without unmounting the folders ? [08:34] is there any problem on repositories? I've tried to update to intrepid but update-manager does not show the new version. [08:34] mistform: should i start looking in the xorg.conf? [08:34] jim_p: I have the saved configuration file from before I upgraded the dist [08:34] Coloquialist: icons on the desktop? [08:34] Coloquialist, technically they are mounted on your desktop. You could try to hide them? [08:35] frederick85: can you put it back in place? [08:35] sure i'll give it a shot [08:35] soup77 [08:35] suspect43_: yeah, updates and lots of them are par for the course with ubuntu, especially around dist-upgrade time [08:35] roger_, i have no clue. I got the X window crash in Red Hat and Mandrake. Ubuntu did once or twice on me too. it was usually after a fresh install, so I just reinstalled it [08:35] question: I have just upgraded to intrepid ibex and I remap the Caps Lock key to be a Return key: xset r 66 does not set the key auto-repeat appropriately [08:35] jim_p: ok done should I restart it now/ [08:35] frederick85: ok [08:36] alright. thanks === shani is now known as shani^work [08:36] <[[thufir]]> how do embed this clock: http://macslow.thepimp.net/cairo-clock into the panel for an anloague clock? [08:37] how do I find another linux pc on my home network.. i went to network and windows network there is nothing there??? [08:37] Hi all could someone help me with the problem I'm facing in Intrepid installation? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=966076 [08:37] jim_p: yeah i wrote over the file with the old one but the keyboard still doesnt' work [08:37] jim_p: i'm just going to change back to LTS I know it is working atleast [08:37] Coloquialist, gconf-editor can help you hiding icons. Open the tree to apps/nautiuls/desktop and uncheck volumes_visible. [08:37] @thufir go to add/remove programs under Applications menu, and install the cairo-clock application [08:37] Mistform: how are they technically mounted on the desktop ? I mounted them into a sub-folder under my /home folder [08:37] jim_p: unless you have some more ideas [08:37] frederick85: give me a chance [08:38] Coloquialist, BTW, BE VERY CAREFULL USING gconf-editor. [08:38] <[[thufir]]> edajai: oh, I have it installed. what I mean, is, can I embed it into the panel? the panel in GNOME only seems to offer a "digital" clock [08:38] frederick85: cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep Driver [08:39] thufir:i don't hink u can embed it to the panel [08:39] Has anyone else faced the same problem as me? [08:39] i suppose I need to create a shared folder or similar - yeah??? [08:39] Coloquialist, i'm not an expert. But your desktop is much like an active browser. I delete a file on the desktop, it's deleted from my ~/Desktop/. [08:39] Schmick: Roger on the "be careful bit. ... if I do that option will USB drives, and CD roms not show up too ? [08:40] <[[thufir]]> is there some way to get something which gives an analog clock in the GNOME panel? [08:40] Coloquialist, yep... it just affect the desktop, not the Nautilus list. [08:40] schmick: Thanks! [08:40] hi, how can i get skype running on dapper? [08:40] Coloquialist, np [08:41] gconf-editor [08:41] lol.. wrong window Coloquialist .. :) [08:41] Since I'm facing the prob, is it possible to partition the disk using stand-alone gparted and use Ubiquity to just install? [08:41] arr [08:42] how would I go about mounting an iso to a USB drive? [08:42] :) I wondered why it didn't open anything up. [08:42] I upgraded to 8.10 and I now have no X [08:42] thufir: AFAIK there doesn't exist one [08:42] in ubuntu 8.10 what is the WL propriatory driver [08:42] oops.. spelling [08:43] the last mount I used was "sudo mount -t iso9660 file.iso /media/iso -o loop" [08:43] joshux: did u try the recovery mode? [08:44] Coloquialist, gconf[TAB] shows up gconf-editor? [08:44] I htink 8.10 doesn't support my nVidia 8400M GS [08:44] think* [08:45] friends, any hint for me? [08:45] Malformation: there's been a few people mention nvidia hassles with intrepid [08:46] ok [08:46] I guess I'll just wait for added driver support right? [08:47] I have just done the injternet upgrade of ubuntu 8.04 to 8.10. Everything went fine until the reboot. My machine has hung, last message was *Running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local) [OK] when i ctrl alt del i get a msg saying "Stopping gnome display manager" then a few momnents and quick ubuntu splash screen flashes up and reboot...... I have an nvidia 8800GTS 320 MB [08:47] could the nvidia graphic card be part of the problem? [08:47] Schmick: It worked, I just failed at identifying correct windows. [08:47] :P [08:47] good work!

[09:07] I am working to bring continuous speech recognition to Linux. In service to and out of respect for the FOSS community. Without it, Linux lags badly behind Windows. I am asking for help/support/collaboration. I will only accept that this is an inappropriate place to ask if one of the chan ops tells me. [09:08] Ohmu, try in #ubuntu-offtopic [09:08] DIFH-iceroot: ok cheers! - ill let you know :) [09:08] Hi. I want to change it for my machine only. Last time when I had 8.04, I just click on Network Connections and it allowed me to change the DNS servers easily. This time, I don't know how to do it in 8.10. [09:08] maybe I need to go on #linux [09:08] thomasite: two people have told you two different ways of doing it, which method do you want clarification on? [09:08] thomasite: sudo vi /etc/resolv.conf dont know how to do it in the gui [09:08] Anyone have any ideas on how I'd run a program from a certain directory? [09:09] Nice project Ohmu .. speech recog has been dead for quite some time. Get it on launchpad. [09:09] a1len, cd directory; runpogram ? [09:09] a1len: cd to that directory && start the programm [09:09] thomasite: use opendns and do it in your router... you will be happier [09:09] That's from the terminal? [09:09] a1len: sure [09:09] allen, for security reasons, if you are in the same directory as the program is, start it as ./programname [09:10] Thankyou Schmick, 3 negative comments from the channel had me a little unsettled. I know nothing of launchpad. I'll investigate. [09:10] I'd like to do that in GUI. When I changed it, I got an error message: Updating connection failed: nm-ifupdown-connection.c.82 - connection update not supported (read-only).. [09:10] thomasite: sorry dont knw the gui for that [09:11] Hm... thanks. One more thing. What's the default directory for the user? [09:11] DIFH-iceroot: fix x-server apparently not a recognised command [09:11] a1len: ~/ [09:11] when using smb:/// it askes for passwords and the pw for the respective pcs do not work...??? [09:11] Thanks, DIFH. [09:11] thomasite: I have never done it myself, but I know where in the menu through a gui it can be edited [09:11] Thanks [09:11] thomasite: can you give us the use case why you want to change the DNS? in other words why do you think you need to change it? [09:11] roger_: this is an option in the ubuntu menü when starting the grub-rescue option [09:11] roger_: pse see above [09:12] a1len, ~/ or /home/ .. it's the same. :) [09:12] up till now I have been happy with smb so ... [09:12] used it to conn to a windows machine.. [09:12] Schmick: nope, /home/username is static, ~/ is the home from the login user, iportant in scripts [09:12] There are some websites that I can't view using my current DNS settings. :( [09:13] Hi I have a question: Wher can I download good Gnome designes? [09:13] thomasite: do you have a router in your house? does this happen on other computers as well? [09:14] <_coredump_> are there any known problems with marvell network cards an the sky2 module with intrepid? this constallation gives me no network connection. [09:14] Don: art.gnome.org or gnome-look.org [09:14] Don: you mean themes? [09:14] yes I'm from germany ^^ [09:14] DIFH-iceroot: could you wallk me through this?? I cant seem to find the fix x-server option?! [09:14] is openoffice 3 not included in ubuntu 8.10? [09:14] thx anyway [09:15] There are other computers in my building. But originally, when i was still using 8.04, changing the DNS was very easy and fast. I don't need to go to resolve.conf [09:15] i'm trying to get two-finger scrolling/taps working on my synaptic touchpad, but i don't seem to be getting any multi-finger events--is this not supported on all new synaptic touchpads? [09:15] how I install testdisk on my computer? there isn't testdisk in sources [09:15] roger_: in the grub-menue there should be the normal ubuntu boot and a rescue boot, right? [09:15] DIFH-iceroot: recovery mode option? [09:15] good luck thomasite, sorry couldn't help you [09:15] easies: apt-get install testdisk (its in my repos on hardy) [09:15] roger_: yes [09:16] 8.10 sucks :P [09:16] roger_: and there a menue is popup with e.g. fix x-server [09:16] Thanks. I just edited resolve.conf. It works. Although I prefer using the GUI. [09:16] is openoffice 3 not included in ubuntu 8.10? i currently have 8.10 but it only still has openoffice 2.4 [09:16] so i just run that mode? or do i add to that option "e" to edit the commands? [09:16] thomasite: but the commandline is the same on every llinux system :) so its better to know how to to it like that instead of using a gui [09:17] roger_: run the recovery-mode [09:17] hi all, quick question.. how can i be sure ubuntu recognizes my video card? [09:17] lj: its not included [09:17] economyx: which card? [09:17] DIFH-iceroot ok, thanks [09:17] and from the command line i should run fix x-server? [09:17] lj: np [09:18] DIFH-iceroot: and then run fix x-server? [09:18] roger_: there is a menue with some options and there is a option fix xserver [09:18] economyx: go to System menu> administration>hardware drivers [09:18] roger_: or go to the command line and rename xorg.conf [09:18] roger_: so ubuntu is using a default xorg.xonf [09:18] edajai: ok, thanks. DIFH-iceroot: actually i don't know what video card it is [09:18] which command i have to use to connect to remote server through terminal [09:18] guys my pc take 3 minutes to shutdown bcz i have NTP application . how i can stop it?? i cant remove it bcz i use mythtv . any help??? [09:19] geev: depends on what software you want to access [09:19] geev: you mean ssh? [09:19] just want to check if my nickname has been change [09:19] geev: but I'd probably assume SSH, thus ssh [09:19] edajai: it shows no proprietary drivers [09:19] geev: ssh user@host [09:19] DIFH-iceroot: yes [09:19] anyone else having trouble with dell laptops and the broadcom BCM4328 wireless? [09:20] DIFH-iceroot: i renamed the xorg.conf xorg.conf.bak then rebooted - it appears to be working [09:20] How do I install .tar.gz packeges? [09:20] extract [09:20] economyx: how old is your computer and do u know wht graphics card it uses [09:20] DIFH-iceroot: so if there is no xorg.conf ubuntu creates a new one? [09:20] go to folder [09:20] Don: you unpack them and do as it says in the README or INSTALL [09:20] Don, what are you installing? [09:20] roger_: yes, ubuntu maybe has no driver in 8.10 for your card, but xorg.conf say which driver to use and if there driver is not there... it reboots [09:20] Anyone know how to remove system notices in xirc? As in the "so and so had joined" stuff. [09:20] edajai: i am not sure what card, it's nvidia though. my laptop is less than a year old [09:20] roger_: yes [09:20] sfire: did you look in System > Administration > Hardware Drivers? [09:21] ziroday: yes.. it doesn't work [09:21] dmsg reports errors [09:21] I'm instaling themes. [09:21] so I tried doing it the old ndiswrapper way [09:21] no joy :( [09:21] DIFH-iceroot: its just sitting on the splash screen now [09:21] Don: you need to drag them into the appearances window [09:21] Hi. Intrepid totally toasted my system. I reinstalled 8.04 but now have two installs of 8.04, one on each partition. how can I safely remove the old one? [09:21] sfire: what are the dmesg errors> [09:21] roger_: nothing happens anymore? [09:21] Thx [09:22] Mark1: use the dangerous rm command [09:22] on the folders you don't need [09:22] DIFH-iceroot: nope - ill be patient and get back to you in a wee while! [09:22] danger... I've had enough of that :) [09:22] sfire: also can you verify that the package b43-fwcutter us installed [09:22] Mark1: its only dangerous if you use it wrong [09:23] ziroday: b43-phy0 error: found unsupported PHY (Analog 5, Type 4, Revision 1) [09:23] Don, just drag the .tar.gz file in the System>Appearance window [09:23] highly likely that i'll use it wrong - no expert :( [09:23] ziroday: I'll check now [09:23] Mark1: well if you dont dare to remove it, you obiously cant remove it ;P [09:24] what inimal way to test the video capture card on my ubuntu-server? [09:24] And if I have other packeges that are app's? [09:24] lol [09:24] anyone can confirm that cairo-dock can run in ubuntu 8.10 64 bit ? [09:24] ziroday: no that wasn't installed [09:24] DIFH-iceroot: It's back to the same point now. The splash screen loaded up then it hangs back at the original point [09:24] sfire: install that package, not sure if it will will help but we will see :) [09:24] oi say i wanted to access a shared folder on another pc, like in windows u type \\10.0.0.2 to access it wat do u do in ubunut? [09:24] roger_: any errors? [09:24] no [09:24] Don: then you need to compile them which is dangerous and difficult [09:24] Mark1: rm with some flags is the same as shift + del [09:24] roger_: dont know which log file can be interesting :( [09:25] Mark1: meaning it will delete the stuff you tell it to delete [09:25] so terrible [09:25] say i wanted to access a shared folder on another pc, like in windows u type \\10.0.0.2 to access it wat do u do in ubunut? [09:25] xxxxx [09:25] Ok thx anyway [09:25] b0xxy, ubuntu automatically detects any shared folder on a windows machine, if it connected in the network [09:25] !compile | Don [09:25] Don: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [09:25] ziroday: I'm going to restart it.. but it didn't work after going throught the hardware manager [09:25] DIFH-iceroot: last message is "Running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local) [OK] then nothing [09:25] Mark1: now that I think of it, you could just might as well use nautilus and shift + del as root [09:25] hi all [09:25] sfire: okay [09:25] Mark1: you'd probably feel more safe there [09:25] anyone can confirm that cairo-dock can run in ubuntu 8.10 64 bit ? [09:26] b0xxy: does the target machine have ssh server installed? [09:26] Ok [09:26] b0xxy: Also I think using // is important, and not \\ [09:27] hey [09:27] !hi | AciD [09:27] AciD: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [09:27] OK. Thanx v much for the info - I'll read up on it. Any ideas what went wrong with my upgrade? I went thru the steps as described and all seemed well - until the 'remove obsolete packages' part. I think it deleted everything... Then on reboot I just ended up at what looked like a command line screen with nothing happening. startx didn't work. === stefan__ is now known as sandy_claws [09:28] Mark1: uh thats sound pretty uncool, but no idea on what might have happened [09:29] i installed xawtv on a server and it didnt work [09:29] ibex, in network control panel. Does the 'system' checkmark mean that the defined network connection will be brought up at boot instead of at login? [09:29] (it displays a vid capture stream) [09:29] I installed ubuntu 8.10 and it works great ! Now I installed some kde apps too (by using apt-get install kde). What I don't figure is why the 'systemsettings' (replacement for kcontrol) is so 'empty' : I only have 8 icons in the general tab, and only 'icons' and 'emoticons' in the appeareance one [09:29] AciD: you want kubuntu-desktop and not kde [09:30] ok. Install from CD doesn't really work either, so a hardware issue? it's a Compaq Evo (D-something-or-other) so not exactly obscure system. [09:30] Anyone here ever use synergy??? [09:30] DIFH-iceroot > even though I prefer to use kde apps with gnome panel as my environment ? === dogsoldier is now known as dog_soldier [09:30] why i launch cairo-dock and nothing happen / [09:30] AciD: no!!!! [09:30] AciD: i though you want the hole kde, sorry [09:30] Mark1: what fails with the cd-install? [09:31] Mark1: How far does it get before it kicks you to the command line? [09:31] ziroday: after running the hardware driver tool for it I don't see it listed in 'ndiswrapper -l' [09:31] sfire: can you reword that? [09:31] I'm a kde apps fan, I just don't really like the panel :> but I don't get why there is so few configuration option in systemsettings, I saw a lot more on some screenshots [09:32] AciD: ask in #kubuntu [09:32] Mark1: As in, do you see it run and fsck or any errors before it kicks you to there. [09:32] will do [09:32] ziroday: I get the same error in the dmesg ... Unsupported PHY ... probe of ssb0:0 failed with error -95 [09:33] sfire: after installing the b43 package? [09:33] yes [09:33] sfire: then I am not sure, sorr [09:33] *sorry [09:35] 8.10 install from CD doesn't fail, but on boot it logs in... and then does nothing, just hangs on black screen (with mouse present) 8.10 upgrade got as far as showing the ubuntu loader, next it's a black screen with a 4 or 5 info lines (all saying OK) ... and then nothing happens. I tried running startx at that point but i think it came back saying that the drivers weren't present. [09:35] What is the last ok it shows? [09:36] sorry, can't remember [09:36] OMG I <3 EVERYONE HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [09:36] !caps | C4N-S|SEAL45 [09:36] C4N-S|SEAL45: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [09:36] !benice seal <3's u [09:36] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [09:37] Mark1: Well that could be several things unfortunately. It's probably best if you could figure out what the last OK was and maybe what it said before it kicked you there. Like if its waiting on any processes or whatever and then kicks you before it gives a FAIL or OK [09:37] I think the 'remove obsolete packages' thing removed _everything_ Silly me thought that it was upgrading a whole bunch of stuff, but on reflection I think it went horribly, horribly wrong [09:38] hello guys, install new ubuntu 8.10, and install w32codecs, nonfree flash etc, i can watch youtube videos FULL screen, but some other website streaming video dont work , whyis that, for the sake of understanding my question, here is the link of error what i got, http://img216.imageshack.us/my.php?image=errorju1.jpg. thanks [09:38] like removed 400 'obsolete' things [09:38] fbtv but it complains that there is no console font file [09:38] how do i install a console font?? [09:39] Mark1: You could also try booting into the rescue kernel. That usually gives more info. [09:39] !fonts | scientes [09:39] scientes: 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 [09:39] fonts for console [09:39] it cant find any [09:39] Mark1: Well rescue mode, technically. [09:39] I tried rescue, safe mode and all sorts of things - nothing seemed to help unfortunately [09:39] Mark1: And yeah, you have to be careful sometimes when removing old packages. :( [09:39] re [09:40] Oprtz: that is not a flash video, its probably a .wmv, or .mov, its being streamed by totem's mozilla plugin. You may want to switch to a different one [09:40] it seems to be working fine [09:40] no sound : Realtek ALC885, parameter alsa-base please [09:40] Okay, I did a clean install of 8.10 and the wireless connection manager STILL isn't giving me the option to enter a WPA passphrase... [09:40] Mark1: Well I think the next step would be to figure out the last 2 or 3 things it was saying/doing before it kicks you to the console. That will help us out a lot. [09:40] ziroday: how to do that SIR ? [09:40] OMG!!! [09:40] team Ubuntu have done it again! [09:40] Oprtz: well you can install mozilla-plugin-vlc for vlc or mozilla-mplayer for mplayer [09:41] another release! Congratulations Team Ubuntu [09:41] the upgrade gave me no choice about what to remove or not - only that i should either keep or remove them. I chose remove since I'd rtfm and it said to do that :D [09:41] ziroday: from ADD/Remove program, search for mozilla-mplayer ? [09:42] Oprtz: sure, or you can do it in Synaptic, or through the terminal apt-get or aptitude [09:42] I'm using an Intel wireless card and WPA worked from Feisty-Hardy [09:42] so did they fix the uber chars torrent bug in 9.62? === skowehe is now known as nich^ [09:42] crash i mean [09:42] and as far as I know, it WOULD work in Intrepid except it's not even giving me the option to TRY [09:42] Intey: look at the bug report [09:42] ziroday: thanks buddy! i will install it and then try to play the very same file and then come back to u [09:42] kk [09:43] are people experiencing problems with Upgrading or not?

Users with the nVidia TNT, TNT2, TNT Ultra, GeForce, GeForce2, GeForce3, and GeForce4 chipsets are affected and will be transitioned on upgrade to the free nv driver instead. This driver does not support 3D acceleration. [09:47] what do i do? [09:47] waht distro [09:47] giorno [09:47] kieko Thanks [09:47] kieko: don't upgrade or use the opensource nv drivers [09:47] also, opera crashes on a 5 minutes basis when using torrent is that a known thing or did I fubar something [09:47] Intey: you need to contact opera for support on opera [09:48] huh?

I've got a problem with my webcam [09:53] Oprtz: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [09:54] ziroday: once i was able to play video from the very same website but now install a clean copy of ubuntu [09:54] I need help setting up internet connection sharing. I have my laptop with a wireless inet connection connected to my soon to be home server via an ethernet patch cable but I can't get my computer to share the connection. I need to connect my server to the net once for updates and I can't get it physical access to my router or dsl modem, it's just to big to move. [09:54] ziroday: thanks [09:54] it's a Hercules Optical glass deluxe with a Guillermot chip, and i've found the module to compile... [09:54] macvr: can i ahve a look?

[09:55] * Atomic_UE wonders how long it'll take to get evolution junk mail filters to work out of the box [09:55] kieko: How do you determinde how much swap space you need? [09:55] i've found the solution here (http://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/viewtopic.php?id=216204) , but i need help === Guest87362 is now known as ndo [09:55] Russian: 1G or 2G should be more than enough [09:55] ive got a laptop running ubuntu, when the battery is discarghing the computer makes a really loud screeching noise, which wakes everyone up at night [09:55] bazhang: i've followed that guide and it still won't work. I've tried firestart numerous times but it always says one of the connection interfaces is not ready when in fact they are. [09:56] so I cant really use the comp of a night. any way to disable the screeching sound? [09:56] Russian: much more than that and it would be better install more ram [09:56] guys, how do upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10, best methode? [09:56] Russian, yes, 1 or 2 gb plenty [09:56] i have 2 machines, one is dual booting XP/ubuntu desktop and then my other machine is running ubuntu server, id like to be able to control ubuntu server from the keyboard on my ubuntu desktop machine [09:56] jhjjjgj [09:56] rdw200169 ok I go for 2 then =) [09:56] Russian: the swap is more of a backup to the ram, like the windows swap file [09:56] anyone? [09:56] !upgrade | ndo [09:56] ndo: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [09:56] arie english [09:56] Russian: and it's slow like a windows swap file [09:56] ty [09:56] orkun: open synaptic and click on Origin button. i think that will tell you if any packages are from backports [09:56] bazhang: Whats the terminal command to run on the client (my server in this case) to reassign dchp or from my laptop to re-issue an ip. If I can get it to work that's all I need. [09:56] rdw200169 so the less the better?, cause I have 4 GB of ram [09:56] macvr: your xorg.conf [09:57] Has anyone seen >>>"This theme will not look as intended because the required GTK+ theme engine '' is not installed"<<< [09:57] Privet Russian :) [09:57] ndo Zdarova =) [09:57] Russian: honestly, if you ever actually do use the Swap, you're in trouble ;) [09:57] alanbshepard77, what I know is in that factoid !ics [09:58] jim_p: hei... wait.. just check my xorg... it still says fglrx... is it cause i tried to activate the restricted drivers after adding raedonhd? [09:58] have many folks here upgraded to 8.10 yet? [09:58] ziroday: is it normal in ubuntu ( when i double click Windows Network...> windows computer on a wired LAN) it dont show me the shared folders, BUT i can see shared folders of ubuntu from windowsXP [09:58] rdw200169 how come, and I want to install it on a laptop =) x64 [09:58] ben2talk, the theme may not meet the new ibex specs yet [09:58] Russian: the linux kernel will always prioritize the ram [09:59] macvr: yes! why did you go there? [09:59] Oprtz: are the shared folders on the actual ubuntu machine? [09:59] Russian: the Swap is more of a safety precaution [09:59] Thanks bazhang: it works for root account, and displays fine in there [09:59] dw200169 so even 512 mb shoud be enough? [09:59] ziroday: yes i have some shared folders on ubuntu machine as well as on windowsXP laptop [09:59] Russian: it's possible [09:59] Oprtz, ive noticed it not showing the shres befor.. but i could type in the full path to the shares and it would access them. [09:59] Russian, normally one's Ram size is a determining factor. it is ususally 1.5 or 2 x ones ram i believe? [09:59] jim_p: cause obviously i'm stupid :-P ... i didnt realize i shouldnt do that.. wait i'll try again and report back... [10:00] ziroday: and both are on same workgroup "HOME" [10:00] how dose one install unicode fonts on ubuntu 8.10? [10:00] Russian: most people would agree, though, that a gig to 2 gigs is adequate [10:00] Oprtz, not sure if its gnome thats doing it..or somting going on with windows hideing them [10:00] rdw200169 and kieko aah oke thanks =) 2 gig then just to be sure [10:00] Evdokimos: if i'm not mistaken, ubuntu already uses Unicode for just about everythin [10:00] dr_willis: if i disable firewall under windows, will it help ? [10:00] Oprtz, some times i notice after i access the first share, and enter the user/pass in the dialog that pops up. I can then see the other shares [10:00] I want to install extra fonts... [10:01] Oprtz, could try.. buti got my firewall disabled and it still dosent see them all the time - well it dosen see them when it scans. :) it can access them [10:01] Evdokimos: in another language? [10:01] jim_p: i dont see a radeonhd in my synaptic... there is only a radeontool!!! [10:01] yes, Greek [10:01] Oprtz, i just bookmark the shares when i do access them. [10:01] hi [10:01] hello guys ! After update to 8.10 vuze freezes. Any advice ? [10:02] when I log off or try to poweroff, the x server hangs [10:02] Evdokimos: oh, the EASIEST way, is just to go to system -> administration -> language support [10:02] and add greek [10:02] dr_willis: i know how to access window shared folders via smb:// computername/shared folder) but ubuntu should show the share folder when we double click windows machine [10:02] Evdokimos: it will install all the stuff necessary [10:02] macvr: xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd [10:02] jim_p: no, found it!!! i'm re [10:02] macvr: its in the universe repo [10:02] Evdokimos: and even let you switch your keyboard layout for greek input [10:02] But I have some extra fonts I want to use, not just the ones with Ubuntu... [10:02] jim_p: i'm really out off my head !!! [10:03] Evdokimos: easy, just create the folder ~/.fonts [10:03] ziroday: only 3 minutes remaining to install restricted application [10:03] !fonts | Evdokimos [10:03] Evdokimos: 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 [10:03] Evdokimos: and put them in there [10:03] Oprtz, yep.. it should.. and ive noticed it does show them on my ubuntu fileserver. but no the vista fileserver... so Im not sure why its not.. [10:03] Evdokimos: then they will show up in open office or whatever [10:03] hullo, can sb help me with ekiga? [10:03] Oprtz, culd be some of the fileservers have the shares as not browseable, thus hidden - untill you access them. [10:03] Hello! Can anybody help me? I tried to setup rtorrent with rtgui. I used official manual (http://code.google.com/p/rtgui/wiki/ubuntu_rtgui), but when I try to start rtorrent I have error: Error in option file: ~/.rtorrent.rc:70: Variable "scgi_port" does not exist. [10:03] thank you! [10:03] macvr: why??? [10:04] dr_willis: ahhh, so its normal in ubuntu then ? is there any TOOL for this to show shared window folders ? [10:04] is there anyone that can help me with setting up my wireless? [10:04] Guys, i push on the Upgrade button and nothing happens. Anything wrong?:) [10:04] Evdokimos: yeah, the ~/.fonts folder is a magic folder for fonts [10:04] Oprtz, ive noticed some of the other samba 'browser/tools' do see them.. such as the fusesmb tool. and smb4k, and the smbclient tools [10:05] Oprtz, so im not sure if its gnome at fault, or windows.. or a combo of the 2 [10:05] cool [10:05] when I log off or try to poweroff, the x server hangs - after a while I get 'acpid exiting' [10:05] Evdokimos: thats where i store all my korean fonts i download ;) [10:05] mitrich: tried commenting that line out? [10:05] dr_willis: so which tool to install then [10:05] Oprtz, ive just learned to rember the shre names and type them in [10:05] Oprtz, try them all :) [10:05] jim_p: i dont know ... i just am not able to think it straight !!!! i know i installed the xserver... but was checking the wrong thing!!! does it matter if i add as radeonhd / Radeonhd ? do caps matter?

[10:06] mitrich: it seems it is not an rtorrent option - spelt it right? [10:06] I read that there is a Mobile USB image for 8.10 buggered if I can find it [10:06] jim_p: so its radeonhd? not Radeonhd.

[10:12] hum.. I know this is the wrong place, but I just installed and configured a few gdesklets, but I dont want to have 8 "gdesklets-daemon" in the taskbar, are these supposed to go away after my next login, or is something wrong?

Welcome! [10:21] Oprtz, go to that site - read/follow their directions... thats one of the commands... [10:21] bazhang: it is about ubuntu... [10:21] domas this is a support channel; talk about that in #ubuntu-offtopic NOT here [10:21] bazhang: actually, it is especially about ubuntu [10:21] dr_willis: okie dude! [10:21] bazhang: talk about ubuntu performance is #ubuntu-offtopic ? :) [10:21] dude, you have issues [10:22] domas: no, you need to realize how things work around here - you're referring to an offtopic discussion. we do support in here. [10:23] :) [10:23] hi [10:23] ok, lemmie ask support question, where do I get debug symbols packages for apache/php? :) [10:23] domas: and if your attitude doesn't change, you'll be the one with issues.

[10:26] jrib: debug symbols are not only for debugging, they're for profiling too [10:26] you can't have backtraces when your symbols are stripped, can you? :) [10:26] domas: idc what they are for... that page tells you where packages with debug symbols are... [10:27] dr_willis: i dont understand from where to get the terminal commands inside the http://www.medibuntu.org/ website, can u have a look at the webside [10:27] is it possible to run linux as a virtual machine on top of windows [10:27] bonhoffer, yes use virtualbox [10:27] i know vmware let me run scipy on my windows machine [10:27] How do I make eclipse so it runs from the SUN JDK [10:27] !undelete | jokoon-ext3grep [10:27] jokoon-ext3grep: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although a method that might work in some cases is described at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html [10:27] jokoon-ext3grep: have you tried any of those? [10:27] Oprtz, get? you pasted one of them.. that sets the repo.. you then use your normal package manager to install what you want [10:27] well wrong wording, how to i make it so my programs use the SUN JDK [10:28] bazhang, so virtualbox can run ubuntu on vista64 bit [10:28] jrib: you must have very keen eyes - because I don't see where it mentions how to find debug packages that don't exist [10:28] the PC speaker beeps are coming out the sound card on my laptop and they are loud.. how can I disable these annoying beeps? [10:28] frederick851: make it so the SUN JDK is the java engine that's installed [10:28] bonhoffer, best to check the vbox site for that [10:28] dr_willis: the command i paste here in from some other website ( http://www.dailygyan.com/2008/11/10-things-you-should-do-immediately.html ) [10:28] Oprtz, sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/intrepid.list --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list [10:28] use the medibuntu docs.. not some other sites === frederick851 is now known as frederick85 [10:28] !java | frederick85 [10:28] frederick85: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository [10:28] bazhang, o.k. i just thought virtualbox ran on posix only [10:28] Gnea, yes I tried ext3grep [10:28] domas: click on the first few links and read a little. They are there. You may need to update information for intrepid by changing "hardy" to "intrepid" [10:29] Oprtz, they just consoilidated the setps into one. [10:29] jrib: we're running hardy :) [10:29] domas: even easier then :) [10:29] is there a good room for virtualization that anyone knows about? [10:29] Oprtz: have you tried with a different player (eg. vlc or mplayer) ? [10:29] dr_willis: its already installed, [10:29] !virtualizer | bonhoffer [10:29] bonhoffer: There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications [10:29] Gnea: I installed the sun JDK then eclipse and it decided to try use GCJ instead i had that problem a year ago also [10:29] Oprtz, then install the packages you were wanting.. you should be all setup [10:30] prince_jammys: not yet, how to tell firefox to run vlc plugin when playing .asf movies in a web browser [10:30] i need help getting my newly-upgraded intrepid to shut down properly. right now it just dumps terminal output and stalls, and i need to use the power button to silence it. it started since i upgraded [10:30] frederick85: i'm not sure then [10:30] jrib: hah, ddebs, right [10:30] sfire: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=320921 [10:30] Oprtz: I don't know. I normally download them and play them separately with vlc/mplayer [10:31] Hello all, after upgrade to 8.10 my file system became readonly, any solutions to this problem ? when bootin in recovery mode the file system is still readonly [10:31] prince_jammys: i want to play inside web browser :( [10:31] dr_willis , ziroday and prince_jammys: thanks for the help, [10:31] jrib: the link was mislabeled, I mostly need symbols for oprofile, not for 'debugging crashing programs' ;-) [10:32] How can i set my windows so that thay are transparent? In Gnome. [10:32] ue: have you tried booting the livecd and fscking the partition from there? [10:32] time to quit, will see ya, [10:32] bye all [10:32] Don: are you using compiz? [10:32] legend2440: thank you very much.. that is the most annoying thing in the world [10:32] Gnea, I can fscking in recovery mode [10:32] !ccsm | Don === suparjo_parmin is now known as cen_dol [10:32] Don: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion [10:33] Don: try emerald, it's a window manager that runs with compiz [10:33] ue: but have you done it from the livecd? recovery mode still requires / to be mounted, whether it's readonly or not. if it's readonly, it may not fsck right. [10:33] Don: it takes over the window borders, and most of their themes are transparent [10:33] Gnea, nope not from livecd, will try that then, thx u [10:34] ue: good luck [10:35] hi all, after i installed ubuntu 8.10 my ntfs drives require mounting every time i log in, is there a way to get them mounted automatically? [10:35] ok how do I turn off desktop effects?

I was in there and missed the tab.... doh! [10:36] reiki, but in 8.04 i didn't need to do that, is that normal? [10:36] reiki: hehe :) [10:36] domas: you could try downloading the package and installing it by hand [10:36] is the .3 mostly packaging issue? [10:37] because if binaries don't match, there's not much use then [10:37] domas: pastebin your current sources.list [10:37] I can only give you a suggestion, I don't have an absolute answer to your question. [10:37] I downloaded ubuntu 8.10 liveCD and tested it. I want to upgrade, so i have to download again...? [10:37] http://p.defau.lt/?GuHMmDLHr1PkMJmV8OLScQ [10:37] exit [10:37] ahmad, honestly I'm not sure. I see what you mean though. If you go into "Places" and the drives show there, they'll mount the first time you try to access them [10:37] Gnea: I know how to workaround that - add yet another package to our internal package repo :( [10:38] domas: get rid of the hardy-proposed ddebs [10:38] jrib: same failure [10:39] Trying to upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10.

I even run my own pastebin service! :) [10:39] ahmad, fstab doesn't require password, no [10:40] How can I fix this problem and proceed with the upgrade?

[10:41] SJrX: it's for NAT [10:41] do I have to use it [10:41] reiki I uninstall and then after that? [10:42] SJrX: its what translates local IP address stuff, 192.168.0.0/24 for example, to a single internet connection [10:42] !nat [10:42] Sorry, I don't know anything about nat [10:42] Why would apt-get update hang on 41% waiting for headers? [10:42] !iptables | SJrX [10:42] SJrX: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [10:43] plouffe, retry your last command to update... I read in the forums that others had problems and it stalled at amarok. I'm not sure the actual program is the problem but there seems some connection between installing it during upgrade and these failures [10:43] I ran update manager and part of the update was "linux-headers-2.6.24-21", but when I boot the grub list only shows the 2.5.24-19, do I need to change grub manually? [10:43] Since I don't have enough space on "/" to upgrade from internet, can I mount another partition into "/tmp" for a while? [10:43] digifor: it happens sometimes. i just ctrl-c and start over [10:43] plouffe, you can complete the upgrade and then try reinstalling amarok by itself [10:43] hello. I fear this is not the good place to ask, but I have no idea where to... Is there any way to make a window go fullscreen automatically?

Is this some hardware or software problem ? Started 2 days ago. I've been running Ibex for 5-6 weeks. [10:44] at the moment I'm using some weird combination of sleep and wmctrl to set some fullscreen flag on a window 2 seconds after it's been launched [10:44] MrBougo: are you using compiz? if so, it's easy. [10:44] MrBougo: the application may have a --fullscreen option, or similar [10:44] lianimator, prince_jammys, nope [10:44] C4N-S|SEAL45: you're going to need to explain your problem, in detail. we can't help you otherwise. [10:44] I'm using metacity [10:44] syergy wont connect [10:44] to the vista machine im useing as the server [10:44] and the app's builtin fullscreen is not as good as the wm's fullscreen [10:44] Hello people, I run ubuntu hardy heron on my Celeron 1.1 GHz 256 mb ram computer, But it used to crash upon use of PDF files. I need an advice to enhance my system speed and to get rid of un-nescessary resources consuming processes [10:44] aas [10:44] C4N-S|SEAL45, check the firewall on either side [10:44] domas: I don't know why those are out of date. I guess you can build your own (it's on the wiki page) and file a bug === eric is now known as Guest29745 [10:45] jrib: ah, it is truncated: http://ddebs.ubuntu.com/dists/hardy-security/main/binary-amd64/Packages [10:45] how do i check the firewall on the ubuntu machine? [10:45] jrib: stops at a* [10:45] lianimator, actually, I was wondering if there was such a feature for metacity [10:45] rdw200169: I'm interested. [10:45] C4N-S|SEAL45, check iptables [10:45] MrBougo: what application? [10:45] Nexuiz [10:45] !firewall | C4N-S|SEAL45 [10:45] C4N-S|SEAL45: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [10:45] domas: good catch [10:45] I can't run it under compiz [10:46] I have broken packages how I fix that? [10:46] Hello people, I run ubuntu hardy heron on my Celeron 1.1 GHz 256 mb ram computer, But it used to crash upon use of PDF files. I need an advice to enhance my system speed and to get rid of un-nescessary resources consuming processes [10:46] and I'm using wmctrl-induced fullscreen so I can alt-tab out of it [10:46] hi there… how can I edit keyboard layout? [10:46] jrib: I'll just open a case with canonical I guess [10:46] hi there, trying to install adobe reader (acroread) on 64bit intrepid. Have the medibuntu free and non-free repos but still cant see it. Anyone know whats going on? [10:46] it works, but I have to use sleep 6 then trigger wmctrl so that the window gets maximized, but sometimes it appears *after* 6 seconds and nothing happens [10:46] Gnea, thanks for reply. thought maybe a bad list. [10:47] Ta1, you might try xfce or something lighter then [10:47] bazhang: is xfce faster than gnome? [10:47] Ta1, xfce, fluxbox, lxde and a few others are much lighter [10:48] bazhang: Thanx bazhang, I will try this [10:48] Ta1, lighter = faster [10:48] Do things have to be -j MASQUEREDE in order for NAT to work [10:48] sorry, I lost connection... last message I got was "Ta1, you might try xfce or something lighter then" [10:48] oh [10:48] does exist driver for nvidia g force 4 mx 4400 in ubuntu 8.10? [10:48] I notice each time it is hanging 41% on hardy release [10:49] lianimator, I think I'll give Devil's Pie a try [10:49] C4N-S|SEAL45: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/fixing-problems-with-synergy-on-windows-vista/ perhaps [10:49] sounds like what I'm looking for [10:49] MrBougo: Thanx I will try to install xfce now [10:49] uh [10:49] AKADEMIK2283MCZ: could be nvidia-glx-legacy [10:49] Ta1, bazhang said that, not me [10:49] where can i get it [10:49] that's the name of the package. [10:49] hi all :) [10:50] MrBougo: Anyway , I will try it :D [10:50] there is nothing on package menager [10:50] or hardware driver [10:50] AKADEMIK2283MCZ: and if you search for nvidia-glx? [10:50] i didn try [10:50] go for it [10:50] sudo aptitude search nvidia [10:51] sudo is not required to search for packages [10:51] oh yeah..... I'm just so used to using it for install ... hehehe [10:51] :) [10:51] Is there a lighter pdf reader than that included in hardy heron? [10:51] hello. i recently installed ubuntu server. in my PHP web app i'm getting a "undefined function curl_init" error. how do i check if i have libcurl installed?

[10:52] kulfi: have you tried phpinfo()? [10:52] can i apt-get beamer with ubuntu [10:52] jrib: thanx [10:52] deamer, yes, there was no libcurl info in the results [10:53] anders: Thanx [10:53] jrib: interesting, http://ddebs.ubuntu.com/pool/main/p/php5/ doesn't have the packages either, so it seems to be broken hardy ddebs process, argh. [10:53] ottoshmidt: That's probably from popcon.ubuntu.com . You can enable it in the "Statistics" tab of Software Sources [10:53] jrib, thanks [10:54] anyone who's dealing with AS3.0 here? === kinnaz is now known as ubot4 [10:54] phpinfo doesn't show any libcurl info. but "locate libcurl" returns "/usr/lib/libcurl-gnutls.so.3" etc. [10:55] kulfi: apt-get install php5-curl [10:55] domas, thanks, i'll try that [10:55] How can I install Xfce 4.4 on hardy heron? [10:55] oh, another support question, how to deal with reentrant pthread mutex calls by singlethreaded processes such as apache? :) [10:55] since i upgraded to 8.10, my rear speakers suddenly stopped working [10:55] domas, thank you looks like its working!

I run on console uname -a give me "Linux ubuntu 2.6.24-21-generic #1 SMP Tue Oct 21 23:09:30 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux" But wehen i look into "System Monitor 2.22.3" i only see 3.2Gib. I know for a fact that there is 4GiB on the motherboard. Any thoughts? [11:00] thanks :) [11:00] cpro, turn off compiz; does that speed things up at all? [11:01] norbert: you're running 32 bit ubuntu thats why :) [11:01] Hi folks. I am having trouble installing 8.10 from a USB stick. Installation aborts at 58% while copying files because some files are corrupted. The conventional USB stick making process seems not to work. [11:01] Why dpoes uname give me back then x86_64 ? [11:01] norbert: w8 a sec [11:01] bazhang not much [11:01] is upgrading hardy heron to 8.10 takes less time than downloading the iso image and burning cd? or it is the same? [11:02] cpro, open a terminal and type top; what is eating much of your cpu [11:02] hey all [11:02] norbert: so u have installed x64 version o ubuntu [11:02] ? [11:03] Yes as fare as i know i did. [11:03] bazhang firefox 21 % [11:03] hola [11:03] cpro, do you have many plugins for firefox [11:03] well is there any way to increase the speed ?? [11:04] Ta1, depends on your net connection [11:04] application takes too much time for opening [11:04] anyone having problems with wireless after upgrading please talk to me.. I've got the solution :) [11:04] I assume you'd have more configuration to do if you do a clean install from iso image [11:04] norbert: i'm not an expert... sorry. I have 4gigs too and I install the 32bit ubuntu (4.10) and I thought that it's the same for you [11:04] Rishab, do you have any third party repos [11:04] hey [11:04] bazhang: I mean do I need to download all packages, or it will select specific packages to upgrade the current install [11:05] how to delete files at DVD-rw? [11:05] (sorry for my english) :-[ [11:05] no i suppose [11:05] Ta1, it will upgrade what you have installed [11:05] t [11:05] I understand but that is exactly the reason why i wondert. I know the limition of 32bit ubuntu (any 32bit OS) ;) [11:05] Hi folks. I am having trouble installing 8.10 from a USB stick. Installation aborts at 58% while copying files because some files are corrupted. The conventional USB stick making process seems not to work. [11:05] Rishab, please paste.ubuntu.com with /etc/apt/sources.list [11:05] can anyone tell me what the best torrent software is on Ubuntu? [11:05] bazhang i have 10 plugins [11:06] bazhang nothing else [11:06] cpro, try to disable them one by one until you hit the problem one; some of them are huge memory hogs [11:06] here is my scenario, i want to use ubuntu as my main os but have to use windows xp for all my adobe cs4 work and my music is there using itunes. i only created a 20 gb partition for ubuntu, and my music library is 30 gb. is it possible to use the itunes Database as a libary in a application here? [11:06] mikebeecham: I like rtorrent [11:06] bazhang: so it will not download the whole system? I have installed hardy heron and unfortunately it took 12 hours via network installation [11:06] favro...is that similiar or as good as utorrent? [11:06] ok [11:06] bazhang ok [11:06] cpro, I use adblock plus, flashblock, and quick locale switcher only and firefox is very fast for the same system as yours [11:07] mikebeecham: it is a lightweight cli torrent client [11:07] favro...better than transmission that ships with ubuntu? === ubot4 is now known as k2pp [11:07] one more thing bazhang many applications are not available and the new version also in my repo so i need to add some sites for that [11:07] i mean an option could be is to have all my music on my xp setup for syncing with itunes, sync it then plug my ipod in when ubuntu is loaded and use songbird to play my music. [11:07] OMG! i was upgrading and suddenly my background changed and it hasn't even rebooted yet! how exciting! [11:07] Ta1, well back up then get the torrent and fresh install [11:08] anybody can help me? [11:08] Rishab, please paste.ubuntu.com the sources.list [11:08] mikebeecham: that depends on your point of view - it uses less resources and works as well if not better imo [11:08] zx, ask your question? [11:08] bazhang: well, is it easy to install it from hard disk? I couldn't install hardy heron from hard disk as i have no removable media here [11:09] anyone else with nvidia seeing video anamolies in title bars when focus changes? [11:09] Is there any program fro ubuntu like Internet Download Manager in Windows that increases the speed of the download???? [11:09] I am new guy to use ubuntu, so who can tell me how to format DVD-RW disk? [11:09] rockyrock: d4x [11:10] bazhang tell me the complete line to be added [11:10] Ta1, aha; well then net upgrade does seem the best option [11:10] rockyrock: there are several download managers available. search in apt [11:10] how can i remove the 10 sec timer on grub boot loader? [11:10] zx: it's done automatically when you use the built in cd burner in nautilus, or make use of k3b [11:10] bazhang: Ok thanx for help :) [11:10] Rishab, /etc/apt/sources.list copy that to paste.ubuntu.com and give us the url [11:10] prince_jammys: i want one that increases the speed, this is my only concern [11:10] Can some body tell me ware i can find the pack emerald-themes [11:10] netyire: i want one that increases the speed, this is my only concern [11:10] mtholdenss: by editing /boot/grub/menu.lst [11:11] to all actionscripters who use gedit and the compiler of the free Flex SDK: i've made a bash script to compile the .as files and to show the compiled .swf file using the "External Tools" plugin of gedit. if you're interested write to me :) . Just wanted to share.. :) [11:11] thanks :) [11:11] Don, apt-cache search emerald [11:11] hehe, another support question, kswapd deadlocked jfs on my machine, when filesystem was full, what should I do? :) [11:11] rockyrock: do you mind the command prompt? [11:11] thx [11:11] rockyrock: if you use firefox, download the downthemall extension at addons.mozilla.org [11:11] mtholdenss: you'll see a 'timeout' line === min is now known as a-min [11:11] netyire: no i just want something powerful like internet download manager [11:11] i have tried it but tell me error [11:11] rockyrock: or use d4x, its a gui [11:11] re skype on intrepid with eeepc-701 and kernel from www.array.com - no mike working - any tips!? === a-min is now known as mini-admin [11:12] netyire: is d4x as powerful as Internet download manager? [11:12] frybye, that kernel is not supported here; contact Adam for that [11:12] netyire: i want the most powerful one [11:12] frybye, on the skype device config, select your hw micro device [11:12] netyire: i doj === mini-admin is now known as sagitta [11:12] prince_jammys, delete the timeout line and save? === sagitta is now known as min-sag [11:12] mtholdenss: i don't know. you could try changing the number to zero [11:12] rockyrock: the most powerful one I know is axel but it's a command line program, you run it with axel -n [11:13] mtholdenss: i [11:13] mtholdenss: i'd do that first, before deleting the line [11:13] make it a 1 [11:13] not 0 [11:13] netyire: yeah it doesn't matter wether it's command prompt or gui [11:13] how can I make X.org use mouse driver instead of evdev? [11:13] gives you time to hit a key if needed [11:13] bazhang: but thar is no pack with the name emerald-themes found [11:13] HAL loads it by default, but I need standard mouse driver [11:14] rockyrock: go with axel then, works for me even when some of the commercial download managers on windows fail [11:14] rockyrock: you can install it from the repos by running "sudo apt-get install axel" in a terminal [11:14] vonderer: you can write your own .fdi files and drop them in /etc/hal/ [11:14] bazhang thx [11:14] i just install ubuntu one week, where have file tell me how to use this OS? [11:14] Don, try at gnome-look.org [11:14] netyire: have you used internet download manager? [11:14] hi [11:14] netyire: is it as powerful as IDM? [11:15] UUIDs are evil [11:15] for filesystems [11:15] UUIDs are awesome! :) [11:15] rockyrock: I can't say if I've tried idm, haven't touched windows in a long time, I avoid it like the plague, but I'm sure axel works (you can specify 9999 threads if your system can take it) [11:15] jrib: if I knew how to do it… is there any way to make ubuntu use xorg.conf instead of hal, when loading InputDevices? [11:16] ubuntu 8.10 I mean [11:16] reiki: lies! filesystems have way shorter life than device names! [11:16] rockyrock: do you make use of any particular feature of idm? [11:16] vonderer, put the input devices into xorg.conf and that will override hal [11:16] bazhang: theoretically I can understand that.. i dont think he runs an irc# though... [11:16] reiki: will it? I mean, it didn't work for keyboard [11:16] netyire: what do you mean by threads mirrors??? And no i don't use any features, i just need something that accelerate the download as IDM does [11:17] joaopinto: bit trying any and everything for an hour or so... [11:17] frybye, that is a completely different kernel than the one from ubuntu; fixes here wont work with his [11:17] hotmail users: is hotmail broken with firefox and opera on Ubuntu / linux ? [11:17] or is it just me? [11:17] vonderer, when I was looking through hal and logs and stuff yesterday, it appears that if you have entries in xorg.conf, they will be used. [11:17] vega: and look at /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-x11-input.fdi to base your own fdi (I think writing your own and dropping it in /etc/hal works and is better than just editing this file) . You can make specify input devices in xorg.conf if you add some options, see 'man xorg.conf' and the AutoAddDevices option [11:17] im using [11:17] hardy heron [11:17] chippy it works for me [11:17] reiki: thanks, gonna try that [11:17] vonderer: see what I wrote to vega... [11:18] rockyrock: axel accelerates downloads, I'm sure it'll suit your needs if you don't require any advance features like scheduling, auto-shutdown on complete, etc [11:18] how i install need for speed in ubuntu [11:18] !appdb | pa1-cheru check here [11:18] pa1-cheru check here: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help === E-XtraCt is now known as XtraCt^eSr === XtraCt^eSr is now known as E-XtraCt [11:18] how i install games like need for speed in ubuntu [11:18] netyire: yeah just need to accelerate the download, because i go to internet cafes so i want the program to get most of the speed in the internet cafe [11:19] pa1-cheru: check out wine (http://www.winehq.hu) [11:19] pa1-cheru, visit that website, then /j #winehq [11:19] marshal0605, ok. cheers. will have a dig around. google searches appear that a few others have same problem [11:19] pa1-cheru: use wine [11:19] bazhang: on his website he claims his kernel is "very near" the generic one - but nevermind... [11:19] Hi all! Just upgraded to 8.10 x86_64 and now pidgin hangs. Anyone knows what can be the problem? [11:19] pa1-cheru: sudo apt-get install wine === hever is now known as Guest20777 [11:19] frybye, for best results I would check wiki at www.eeeuser.com [11:20] hi [11:20] I just upgraded to intrepid but I can't get X working with dual monitors.. I was using nvidia drivers with twinview, but since nvidia drivers do not work with X I have to use nv, I reckon it does not support twinview so I would have to use xinerama, correct so far? [11:20] netyire: do you mean by thread, mirrors?? [11:20] Hi folks. I am having trouble installing 8.10 from a USB stick. Installation aborts at 58% while copying files because some files are corrupted. The conventional USB stick making process seems not to work. [11:21] 10Q rocky rock [11:21] ive typrd ur command [11:21] its working [11:21] rockyrock: threads are the equivalent of chunks in internet download manager, mirrors are alternative servers that also host the file you want (but I didn't mention them ;)) [11:22] netyire: what are chunks? [11:22] Hi All, just upgraded to intrepid rfom hardy and have got a Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module! [11:22] any ideas? [11:23] eoghan, it does not work with the new X, you have to use nv instead [11:23] rockyrock: the program breaks up the file into various parts and downloads them concurrently in processes called threads, this allows the program to download faster by running multiple download procedures at one time [11:23] rockyrock: the parts are called chunks [11:23] aah thanks whyking__ [11:23] can some one help me to get transparent windows ??? [11:24] whyking__: works fine for me [11:24] jrib, nvidia drivers? [11:24] jrib, are you sure? [11:24] whyking__: yeah [11:24] Don: enable desktop effects and tweak the compiz settings methinks [11:24] i also have dual monitors and the config app wont let me do anything other than mirror my screens which is quite annoying [11:25] rokyroky, wat shud i do after installing "wine" [11:25] Don, turn desktop effects on full and get the compiz-settings-manager [11:25] jrib, well ok, it depends on which driver version you're using [11:25] eoghan, I have the exact same problem [11:25] pa1-cheru: what game are you trying to run? [11:25] whyking__: maybe, I'm using 177 [11:25] i feel your pain whyking__ [11:26] need for speed [11:26] jrib, yeah, those are working [11:26] but what am I using.. [11:26] netyire: if the internet disconnected can axel continue the download after the internet back? [11:26] rockyrock: yup, download resuming is supported =-) === xxxxxx is now known as Guest4947 [11:26] pa1-cheru: uh, which one? there are lots in the need for speed series?

[13:06] hi all [13:06] babuto: try opening a website by its ip address [13:06] rien-ne-va-plus: yes..shoot [13:06] anyone can help me with problems with gnome after the upgrade to 8.10 [13:06] ? [13:06] I've got an old AMD duron 1000Mhz with 256MB ram [13:06] what happened @tw? [13:06] would you recommend running ubuntu or rather xubuntu? [13:06] rien-ne-va-plus: xubuntu [13:07] i'm not able to login [13:07] DB42, it just contains "nameserver 192.168.1.1" [13:07] rien-ne-va-plus: 256MB is tight. however, if you don't pay attention which programs you run, Xubuntu won't make very much difference [13:07] because the screen came white [13:07] alright [13:07] i'll go for it [13:07] rien-ne-va-plus: RAM is cheap, are you sure giving it some more is not an option for you? [13:07] and i can't do nothing [13:07] Babuto: you got a router on that address ? [13:07] i see in the background the login [13:07] ubuntu doesnt start anymore [13:07] !enter [13:07] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [13:07] yes DB42 [13:08] i uninstall compiz and i try to use the old xorg.conf with no luck [13:08] Durayne: how did you install that driver? [13:08] well its all ive got, ive its SDram, i dont have any modules bigger than 128mb [13:08] do we have anything to burn daa images? [13:08] Babuto: it you type "ping www.yahoo.com" does it work ? [13:08] and i can ping the other computer of my network lan [13:08] bast: what can i do now ? :( [13:08] Kiyiko, no that is proprietary [13:08] Hi, how do i raise the tx-power of my wlan card? [13:09] DB42 : yes it works [13:09] rien-ne-va-plus: ok, well, be prepared for less-than-stellar performance with 256MB, Ubuntu is a bit memory hungry [13:09] how come i can't find "/home/hendri/.cairo-dock/current_themes/launchers" in nautilus ? [13:09] Kiyiko, why not convert to iso with daa2iso ? [13:09] @tw are you using a nvidia driver? [13:09] ahh, dunno then [13:09] DB42 : i have to say, i'm not on IRC with the computer that doesn't work [13:09] lvshankar: can you give me a few minutes? I am burning a CD, but I have some stuff running on the box I need to shutdown gracefully. === xnixan_ is now known as xnixan [13:09] ksbalaji: what package provides that? [13:09] LjL: I downloaded the package from realtek, then unpacked it and dragged the install.sh into the terminal [13:09] another thing, checking in gdm.log i see the error: [mi] EQ overflowing. The server is probably stuck in an infinite loop [13:09] lvshankar: then I can test and get back yo you. But I will be offline for a little [13:09] hi, i have just done an upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 (the XFCE flavor), and now the mouse wheel doesn't work anymore (old sony laptop, vaio vx71p). any ideas where to look for a solution? the menus don't seem to help, the hardware drivers section only offers proprietary drivers for my soft modem [13:10] ksbalaj, i will try that, i did that with power iso, and it kill every file/foldername [13:10] LjL: OK, so far I've only run Kubuntu on a much stronger machine, I was now trying to make use of my old machine. should I use something different than ubuntu? [13:10] Durayne: installing drivers that way is generally a bad idea, were you sure that your card wasn't "supposed" to work with standard Ubuntu drivers? because if so, that should have been the route to follow [13:10] Durayne: anyway, now, i think what might have happened is that there is a kernel module that causes your machine to hang [13:10] oh ya sure...thanks bast [13:10] I did a upgrade to 8.10 and now my rigg hangs when starting kernel log daemon [13:11] Durayne: you should boot from a live CD (if you can't make your normal Ubuntu work at all, even in recovery mode) and find that module [13:11] how come i can't find "/home/hendri/.cairo-dock/current_themes/launchers" in nautilus ? but i can go to the folder from terminal, help me please [13:11] LjL: actually i can move my mouse and so but the rest of the screen is black [13:11] Durayne: can you go to a virtual terminal by hitting ctrl+alt+f1? [13:11] when I use sudo I get an "Error" message but it works. when I start a program that needs root permissions when I type the password it don't respond. I upgraded 1 laptop and 1 pc, the laptop is ok but the pc is not. anybody knows how can I find what this error message is? [13:11] 1 [13:11] it's not a nvidia card, it's an integrated videocard. With lspci i see Via Technologies Inc K8M800...[S3 Unichrome Pro] (rev01) [13:11] bingungaja: do ctrl+h in nautilus to see hidden folders/files [13:11] dxdemetriou: err, it only says "Error"? [13:12] forestpixie: thx [13:12] the laptop is a benq joybook r23E with an amd sempron processor [13:12] LjL, I use wine and the convertor - let me check up at my other partition andtell you [13:12] LjL, yes, and with gksudo it don't work [13:12] LjL: didnt try that, can i also repair that module with hardy cd if i use intrepid now [13:13] TW, are you able perhaps to start in VESA mode? i'm not entirely sure how that's done in Intrepid, since xorg.conf isn't treated the same way as before - but probably you can do that in the "xfix" recovery mode [13:13] now i'm in recovery mode === aqbel_____- is now known as yuanha [13:13] LjL, sorry, gksudo works, the mount on disks inside gnome and other similar don't work [13:13] dxdemetriou: do "grep sudo /var/log/auth.log", see if there is anything more meaningful logged there [13:13] hi everyone [13:14] hi [13:14] how i can start in vesa mode? [13:14] folks I have a problem with the new edition of Ubuntu Intrepid Ibix, hopefully that's the name cause it sounds like a med, anyhow.. [13:14] TW: are you in the xfix recovery mode, or in a console? [13:14] <[`DaGdA`]> Hi all =) [13:14] hi [13:14] console [13:14] TW: then restart into the xfix mode. don't you get a menu when going to recovery mode? [13:15] #slackware [13:15] i have a problem with my internet connection on the pc on which i've tried to upgrade to 8.10. i can ping but i can't browse [13:15] I looked inside menu.lst, which the grubs menu that shows all the data regarding bootloader [13:15] ops [13:15] :D [13:15] now, nowhere can I find the location of my grub listed [13:15] redheat: what do you mean, the location of your grub? [13:16] I mean for example in Gutsy Gibbon we had for exampke if I installed the grub to hd0,9 I would usually find a line like root (hd0,9) [13:16] Babuto: perhaps your Firefox has a proxy set, for some reason? [13:16] I can't find it here [13:16] Babuto: can you ping hostnames (like www.google.com), or only numeric IP addresses? [13:16] i can ping hostnames [13:16] www.google.com for example works [13:16] i rebooted and select xfix, it work some seconds and now i'm in the recovery menu, what i do now?

(regardless of version) [13:31] my theme manager says a theme won't look like it should because I'm missing a gtk-engine. how can I find out which one?? [13:31] why ucuntu not booting for me llike it obviosuly did for you guys [13:31] peacho, ziroday: and that cannot be done using the CD, anyway [13:31] ksbalaji: you can always write em down, and then reinstall them if they're not there [13:32] is it possible to mount /tmp noexec? [13:32] aww darn [13:32] ziroday, I cannot also take a list of them. manager does not allow copying! [13:32] DeVnOrE: Ok, with an added sudo that worked. I take it there's no nice graphical task manager, then. [13:32] I have a strange problem. When I mount a samba drive on the desktop and right click on it the "paste into folder" option of the menu keeps flashing/flickering. This only happens with mounted drives. Anyone noticed anything similar? [13:32] peacho: there is with the Alternate CD, but what does that gain? upgrading from the internet is swiftier, and in any case, you need to go through all versions [13:32] other hints for trying to resolve my freezing on gnome login screen? [13:32] peacho: honestly if you're left so much behind in versions, i'd reinstall from scratch rather than upgrade [13:32] ziroday, ok - as you say, change is always better. - [13:33] i just installed ubuntu its cool but where can i find msn messenger/ [13:33] hi === mctu is now known as lolmac [13:33] hi [13:33] !amsn [13:33] Sorry, I don't know anything about amsn [13:33] [`DaGdA`]: hmm.. i guess its not installed for the livecd [13:33] Monagasque: you might want to try "pidgin" [13:33] Monagasque: you can't, because MSN Messenger is a proprietary Microsoft application that only runs on Microsoft Windows [13:33] i wonder if anybody can help me with wireless cards [13:33] Monagasque ey [13:33] Monagasque: however, there are other programs that can use the MSN protocol [13:33] !pidgin | Monagasque [13:33] Monagasque: The Instant Messenger Client Pidgin (formerly Gaim) (http://help.ubuntu.com/community/Pidgin) supports MSN, XMPP (Jabber, GTalk and variants), AIM, Gadu-Gadu, Novell Groupwise, ICQ, YIM, IRC and others.

[13:35] hello friends [13:35] lolmac, that is a live cd [13:35] Babuto, it happened in Firefox? [13:35] bast is easier to type :D [13:35] bazhang [13:35] yes [13:35] <[`DaGdA`]> djhash>>> That : http://launchpadlibrarian.net/17999379/Xorg.0.log [13:35] Is it true that 8.10 is not longterm support like 8.04?

[13:36] Monagasque: if I would have to guess, I'd say a compiled binary [13:36] lvshankar: you should just be able to type the first few letters and tab to send a msg to someone. [13:36] w00t-> maybe its possible with polyinstantiation.. using pam namespace module.. i dont really know the details of this yet.. [13:36] lolmac, what card [13:36] :q [13:36] bazhang: ati radeon 9550 [13:36] is it possible to merge filesystems (ext3)?

[13:38] Atheros AR242x [13:38] LjL: If jumping versions via CD was possible, it would be lighter, as the download of 7.10-8.04 is 633MB, which is practically the size of the CD. [13:38] lolmac, check the release notes [13:38] lvshankar: ubuntu ? [13:38] !notes [13:38] Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) release notes can be found here: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810 [13:38] anyone on pidgin right now?

[13:38] Durayne: if you can access that, you can try fixing it from there. but to do that, you need to find out what module the driver installed. try doing "lsmod", and see if there is anything that looks like your card's driver [13:38] bazhang: there is no one there [13:38] bazhang [13:38] but [13:38] Dabbu: i meant, ubuntu-offtopic [13:39] it worked with 7.04,7.10 isn't a driver problem? [13:39] lvshankar, yes, but no irc with pidgin [13:39] peacho: jumping versions is just not possible, because the upgrade process is the same whether you do it from the internet or from CD packages [13:39] [`DaGdA`]: just a quick note.. did you try switching the video cable from one dvi port to the other... [13:39] pidgin better then aMsn ? [13:39] hello [13:39] How can I change the error's beep from PC's speaker to my headphones ?

I use the Ati-drivers and Xoverlay somehow just doesn't work, xvinfo shows me that no supported device was found. [14:03] juncong, If you use dual boot, It could create problems.

[15:38] j_77: ahh yes I see him, iwl3945 is your device [15:39] My monitor can support 70hz of refresh rate but all I can choose from the screen resolution interface is 50 , 51 and 52 hz [15:39] UserC: just chekin :)... so... you hear sound? [15:39] HorizonXP-> some sites only want IE users, not any others.. [15:39] ubuntu 8.10 freezes i could see only a white screen any suggestion to fix it ? [15:39] limcore: take a look at http://www.linux.com/feature/132006 [15:39] k1ko: yes i do, i can't seem to record or do anything with my microphone that works with windows xp [15:39] dasch: also I want a simple command like "sendmail foo@... ..." to work. and to have it working from php mail() [15:39] HorizonXP-> complain to the webmaster of the site [15:39] n8tuser: but it doesn't even load the site, it just sits at Connecting to gandalf.. [15:39] anyone know how to connect to this chatroom using Pidgin? [15:39] Oprtz, I have the same issue but haven't botherd to fix it yet, a good workaround is to copy the address of the media into a media player on your desktop this will then play normally, it may also download a codec for you that will work in firefox [15:40] hey, is there a freepbx-admin package for Intrepid? [15:40] HorizonXP: maybe an extension is messing with the site? [15:40] n8tuser: it's a med school application. I've tried, it's a university, things dont' change that quickly [15:40] HorizonXP-> you can troubleshoot telnet website.url 80 [15:40] Why can't you uninstall Gstreamer? [15:40] kbrosnan: that might make sense. is there a quick way to disable extensions? [15:40] csilk: hmmmmm, cant we play it inside firefox? [15:40] HorizonXP: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode [15:40] UserC: don't know where the problem might be...

[15:45] I think I'm going to continue using my 8.04 install and let this 8.10 install sit here and mature a little. I'll boot to it once in a while and let it grab updates and see if things straighten out. I usually wait 2 to 4 weeks before installing a new version because of problems way back upgrading from the 6.XX series. Installing Intrepid on release day is reinforcing my reasoning :) === _ is now known as Guest79667 === svecias is now known as vipas [15:45] exit [15:45] where can i get the wallpaper that was from hardy? i dont like the intrepid one [15:45] reiki did i tell you i agree with you? hehe [15:46] reiki: Meh, I learned to do *that* the hard way when I tried going from 7.10 to 8.04. :) [15:46] UserC http://www.skype.com/help/guides/soundsetup_linux.html have you gone through this? [15:46] this place is a waste of time. too many questions, not enough experts. [15:46] UserC: try to run padsp skype, maybe this will work ... [15:46] n8tuser, yeah.... and the longer I sit here in Intrepid, the more I'm agreeing with myself! hehehe [15:46] spleencheesemonk-> pay for it, you may get a better support [15:46] Hello!

[15:51] DemonHunter: Does the Restricted Drivers dialog give you a couple of versions of proprietry NVidia drivers, but doesn't light up their icons when you click Activate? If so, I have the same problem. I haven't found a solution yet, but I'll let you know if I find one (please do the same for me).

I see [15:53] linux_trojan: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [15:53] BUT you don't need to burn it; just mount the ISO image [15:53] tovella-> some here yesterday said they did [15:53] thanks Dorward [15:53] how can I copy everything from /mnt/folder1/ to /mnt/folder2/ (including subfolders) [15:53] tovella: I did today.

I'm clueless, any pointers? [15:54] DemonHunter, Applications..... add/remove (show all available) ... search nvidia.... check nvidia hardware drivers and nvidia x server settings and tehn also the 177 binary driver. That's what got mine to work [15:54] tovella: maybe you have to set boot order in bios or sth like that? [15:54] reiki, doesnt work [15:54] Hey, which laptop would be "the most compatible" with ubuntu? I've just have had some bad experiences. Dell? But what about asus? or something [15:54] HorizonXP-> not from my end, i cant resolve it, lets ask some others to confirm... [15:54] what a waste of time [15:55] DemonHunter, did you reboot?

[15:55] is there anything in synaptic that will convert a mov to a avi file? [15:55] HorizonXP-> ask anyone else to resolve it for us [15:55] reiki, is it possible that I need another driver (not 177)? [15:56] HorizonXP-> in reverse i can, but not in forward resolving [15:56] homy: it's trying to boot from the device but it seems something was written wrong. thanks, again.

[16:09] I'm running on a Macbook Pro, was dual booting OS X and Ubuntu. Installed Ubuntu over top of the Boot Camp partition. The problem is, it will not let me boot off of a live or install CD. When I attempt, it goes straight to GRUB, and refuses to load any CD/DVDs. Any thoughts on why it won't let me boot from a CD? [16:09] van: pastebin what your /etc/fstab looks like now [16:09] LjL : would it help u if I sent you the programm code of the install.sh? [16:09] jrib: i am subscribing to it already hehehe my nick is there. thx though. figured if anyone had any more info on the work in progress [16:09] I have updated my system from 7.10, now there is so many software, I don't reinstall it from new [16:09] n8tuser: thanks, i appreciate it :) [16:09] Durayne: can try [16:09] cbau: you are holding down the 'c' key? [16:09] and my computer shutdown slow too [16:09] cbau: is that with all CDs? check your bios options maybe..sometimes cd booting can be disabled [16:09] young_, did you have wicd as your network-manager in 7.10? [16:09] no, let me try that real fast jrib [16:10] it's a Mac box [16:10] jrib: http://pastebin.ca/1242416 [16:10] So, check it. I just upgraded to Ibex last night. Most everything is playing well, except for the "Places" menu in the panel. In there is the "Windows Network" link, which links to smb:/// (notice the extra slash). When I click on it, it says "no application is registered to handle this file". Where can I edit that link to remove the trailing slash? [16:10] I'll be back, gonna work that [16:10] yes, I am always using wicd [16:10] hi, can somebody help me installing the driver for my graphics card... i'm trying tu install intel drivers from http://intellinuxgraphics.org/ [16:10] smb://OTHERCOMPUTER/ works just fine. [16:10] platius: no i haven't gone through that.. but i don't really understand it [16:10] wicd works well on my computer [16:10] van: so it seems to be using vfat, not ntfs. What does 'df -h' return? [16:11] haostun: why would you do that, ubuntu *comes* with working intel drivers as far as i know [16:11] well my system does not seem to like Ubuntu 8.04 or Ubuntu 8.04 does not like my system. :-/ [16:11] Unetbootin doesn't have the 8.10 distro, should I just chose the 8.04 then? [16:11] young_, I know what u mean with that problem, also had wicd and after updating to 8.10 it was totally screwed :( [16:11] jrib: http://pastebin.ca/1242417 [16:11] this is very bad news [16:11] DoDisturb: unetbootin just puts an .iso on a usb key (and the files needed to boot), you just need to point it to the iso. [16:11] perlmonkey: what's your system ? [16:11] LjL... the drivers that cames with ubuntu are not working properly for me :( [16:11] van: how about 'sudo fdisk -l' [16:12] haostun: then try to solve *that* problem [16:12] DoDisturb: you may also want to try installing the new usb-creator from launchpad. https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/+source/usb-creator [16:12] AnAnt: a custom built Intel Core Duo 1.6Ghz, 1GB ram, 160GB SATA, 320GB ATA [16:12] jrib: http://pastebin.ca/1242418 [16:12] jrib: you don't need sudo to do fdisk -l [16:12] UserC did you install skype though medibuntu.org? [16:12] how can i do that... my problem is whit a game.. the fps just sux [16:12] Ferrenrock: are you sure? [16:12] jrib: look like my 500gb is not mounted [16:12] jrib: I just did it [16:12] anyone know a textbased msn client? [16:12] grub [16:12] perlmonkey: what's not working ? [16:12] I do it all the time [16:12] DoDisturb, download the image file of the distro u want and choose the option disk-image [16:12] why is ubuntu so slow after the upgrade to intrepid? [16:12] Ferrenrock: not here [16:12] same with blkid [16:12] AnAnt: trying to install off of a bootable cd, 8.04 LTS, throws up a load of errors "exception.." after keyboard stage, then blank screen/hangs [16:13] platius: no i got the deb package from the skype website [16:13] jrib: well I'm not using ubuntu :P [16:13] hey guys did u run into any problems upgrading to intrepid? i want to see if it is worth it or i should just prepare and reinstall. [16:13] but you'd think it would be the same [16:13] Ferrenrock: heh [16:13] AnAnt: cd test fails also, yet CD tests fine and installs to end on another system [16:13] MaT-dg, did you have the same problem? [16:13] https://help.ubuntu.com/ <-- ubuntu 8.10 isnt listed as truly newest :) [16:13] DoDisturb: 8.10 has so many new features...i wouldn't waste time with 8.04 unless you really need an LTS version. [16:13] LjL: i dont know what to do, my problem is whit a game, the fps just sux, 0-10... i can play that way! can u help me? [16:13] andresj, yes be sure you do NOT have wicd as your network manager [16:13] perlmonkey: hmmmm, problem with your optical drive maybe ? [16:13] tovella what new features are these ? [16:14] could be, seems logical I did not think of that [16:14] wicd causes problem with upgrade? [16:14] easy to replace [16:14] bah, I'm back. jrib, I attempted the C key, and it did the same thing as option key. It will attempt to boot from the CD, but then GRUB grabs it and boots into Ubuntu, for no clear reason. [16:14] MaT-dg: hahaha, i dont even know what wicd is, do u kno how to disable it? [16:14] hi guys...dont know if this is the right place. I want to change my icon in the ubuntu menu bar. I have used gconf editor to use custom icon and given it the path...but the icon still will not change [16:14] van: install ntfs-config and run it [16:14] How can i make Open Office NOT use my gnome theme, my theme is very dark and i cant see things in OO but i like the theme and dont really want to have to change it [16:14] young_, yes had the same problem, slow boot, no internet (wired and wireless), reaaal slow shutdown... [16:14] i find wicd is way better [16:14] young_, I also had wicd as my network manager [16:14] tovella: what are these new features in 8.10 that are not in 8.04 and make 8,04 not worth bothering with [16:14] cbau: does pressing F12 bring up boot device menu? [16:15] OPtion key does, on a Mac [16:15] platius: and i'm having problems with using my microhphone too which is probably a part of the problem [16:15] perlmonkey: custom built, means that you built it yourself ? [16:15] ok [16:15] you mean in GRUB? [16:15] so what are you using now [16:15] jrib: ok i will do it now [16:15] perlmonkey: or someone did it for you ? [16:15] AnAnt: ya I built that myself, everything is brand new except for the optical drive which is quite old [16:15] ikonia: hang on... i'm checking something. [16:15] perlmonkey: how do you do that ? [16:15] Quick question .. I downloaded Deluge BitTorrent from package manager, but the one available is VERY OLD (0.5) .. on the site, I can download version 1.x .. Is the best method to simply uninstall my current and grab it from the sites .deb package or should I do something else? What's the proper way of handing such a situation [16:15] titon, yes and no, it connects better than the default manager but I can't have 2 interfaces at the same time :S [16:16] AnAnt: it was really easy theres nothing to it [16:16] UserC you have mic capture checked in the mixer settings? [16:16] MaT-dg, I mean, I used gnome-network-manager, it doesn't work well on my PC [16:16] Anyone know if DEFCON by Introversion Software works well under 8.10 AMD64 ? [16:16] perlmonkey: I mean, where do you get the mainboard, screen & chasis ? [16:16] nikserv identify martin21 [16:16] ikonia: this page can explain much better than i can - http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/810rc#New%20Features%20since%20Ubuntu%208.04 [16:16] cbau: yeah, that's weird... You've booted from this cd before? [16:16] perlmonkey: it is a laptop, right ? [16:16] jrib: not working i am in prompt.. [16:16] jrib: cannot use gui [16:16] I boot from the CD, and before it can boot, GRUB takes over, and boots from the Ubuntu partition, with no apparent way to bypass it... I even wiped linux out, so now it goes to an unbootable partition.... [16:16] MaT-dg u use 2 interfaces at same time?how is that routed [16:16] anyone has an idea how to solve my problem? [16:16] platius: what is the mixer settings? sorry i'm new to ubuntu [16:16] tovella there is pretty much no new features in that update, [16:17] jrib: It's all CDs and DVD installs/live cds [16:17] young_ same here, the default manager has problems with connecting while wicd does the job in no time [16:17] AnAnt: I bought the motherboard and CPU separately, and fitted those into a chasis I got.. I'm using this box as a server so no screen is needed [16:17] jrib:windows, linux.... I can get my OS X install disk to boot though [16:17] van: oh, ok. You want help editing /etc/fstab then? Pastebin: ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/ [16:17] tovella: and saying that these new features make 8.04 not worth bothering with a a bad statment to make to people [16:17] perlmonkey: oh, I thought you were talking about a laptop ! [16:17] hi i need some help: i force mounted my windows partition with ntfs-3g and now i cant get to wins [16:17] Is there an easy way to setup /home dir permissions like they should be (classic linux, no one but you or root can browse your dir) or do I need to chown chgrp manually? [16:17] AnAnt: hehe no way [16:17] any other problems u guys run into ugprading to intrepid? [16:17] How can i make Open Office NOT use my gnome theme, my theme is very dark and i cant see things in OO but i like the theme and dont really want to have to change it [16:17] hi, can somebody help me installing the driver for my graphics card... i'm trying tu install intel drivers from http://intellinuxgraphics.org/ [16:17] andresj: yeah me ! [16:18] jrib: http://pastebin.ca/1242423 [16:18] AnAnt: what was it? [16:18] cbau: no idea. You might want to try one of the mac channels to see if they've seen that before [16:18] UserC right click on the speaker icon and choose open volume control [16:18] titon, I have the wireless for internet and the wired connected to my desktop (gigabit connection for file transfer and streaming) [16:18] haostun: you shouldn't need to install drivers for most intel cards [16:18] jrib: But I know the disks work, tested them on other systems. It's just.... anything PC based, when I try to boot it, GRUB takes over and attempts to boot off the hard drive instead [16:18] MaT-dg, I remeber something, last time, when I disconnect the wicd connection, computer shutdown fast. so I will have a try, thanks al ot. [16:18] ikonia: I know.. but the driver that install ubuntu is not working properly for me :( [16:18] haostun: what card do you have ? [16:18] could anyone tell me how to make a system where you can boot into windows and ubuntu at the same time or one at a time if you want? [16:18] how can I force my screen resolution in 8.10? [16:19] Intel Corporation Mobile PM965/GM965/GL960 [16:19] Is anyone else having really slow connections with 8.10/Intel 3945? [16:19] Trying to burn ubuntu 8.10 to usb stick does nothing. Just sits there. How do i make this work.

[16:19] ikonia: thats what lspci says: Intel Corporation Mobile PM965/GM965/GL960 [16:19] HorizonXP: I'm using that card without any issues [16:19] but i want to boot into both OS's at the same time [16:19] toredgk: research 'deal boot windows ubuntu' for more information.

[16:20] haostun: what intel driver are you using i810 or intel [16:20] toredgk: you could use vmware from within one to mount / boot the other [16:20] ikonia: and u play some fps game-?

[16:20] hey everyone..where to get 8.10 intrepid from..i mean the torrents are older than 31/10 that is the release date [16:20] toredgk: that's virtualisation, you may be able to do that with your system [16:20] toredgk: but you can't natively boot both at the same time [16:20] anyone else having trouble writing ubuntu 8.10 image to usb stick? [16:20] haostun: I don't play games, but I do have a high frame rate [16:20] UserC does the volume control box have a tab labeled switches?

I try to setup an ssh client, but I can't connect from outside the local network. tcpdump shows that the is action on port 22, but i get no answer [16:21] toredgk: look up wubi [16:21] toredgk: or use vmware [16:21] haostun: can you explain the symptoms of the problem [16:21] AnAnt_, lol I don't know. :( Im just trying to see if it is worth it trying to ugprade or i should do a clean reinstall [16:21] jrib: i will paste the error [16:21] van: paste what fstab looks like too [16:21] ikonia, you wrote: HorizonXP: I'm using that card without any issues [16:22] so after the upgrade I can't rip cd's using banshee, its says there is no codec but its installed [16:22] snowman: is sshd running ? [16:22] So, check it. I just upgraded to Ibex last night. Most everything is playing well, except for the "Places" menu in the panel. In there is the "Windows Network" link, which links to smb:/// (notice the extra slash). When I click on it, it says "no application is registered to handle this file". Where can I edit that link to remove the trailing slash? [16:22] smb://OTHERCOMPUTER/ works just fine. [16:22] wubi makes ubuntu slower, am i wrong?

My problem is especially evident in OpenOffice 3.0 [16:23] UserC click on the prefences button and check mic capture and mic boost [16:23] van: ah ok. Well you have to read what it says. There's a program called ntfsfix in the ntfsprogs package that may let you fix it, so you can mount it without forcing. However both of these come with warnings in their documentation [16:23] haostun: you tried using wine? [16:23] snowman: so on the machine your trying to connect "to" can you do ssh localhost ? [16:23] ikonia: playing urban terror [16:23] jrib: it said to use mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/sda1 -o force [16:23] no, its urban terror [16:23] I was wondering how to install a webcam (Creative Live!) [16:23] ikonia: yes [16:24] jrib: shoudl i try it? :p [16:24] ikonia: first, the ubuntu website calls them new features since 8.04, what i said was based on what ubuntu.com has publicly stated. [16:24] second, my comment was with regard to the comparison between two different versions of ubuntu. what i meant was that if someone has the capability of obtaining the newer version (with the "new feature"), i personally would devote resources to getting that, as opposed to 8.04 (again, unless LTS is needed). I used 8.04 from alpha 1 through long after the official release, and I loved it. Now my love has gone in a new direction - 8.10. I [16:24] van: up to you [16:24] snowman: this sounds like a firewall problem. Check '/sbin/iptables -L -n' [16:24] i have a problem i can not install winex [16:24] ikonia: how can i know what driver im using [16:24] Any help on getting the ubuntu 8.10 image to usb stick?

I restored my files but the problem is that bootloader (grub) gives me an Error 17 (unable to mount partition) whats wrong? how can I fix it? [16:55] n8tuser: had to use something to hide my homemade porn :P [16:56] masque7: what wants you to upgrade? [16:56] Azhi_Dahaka-> use tar to archive it [16:56] it sees the press [16:56] spazm-> great idea, but it backfired eh..hehehe [16:56] Fade: what button is it? [16:56] jrib: synaptic asks me to insert 8.04 disc [16:56] Can someone shoot me a link on how to enable higher resolutions for my X?

[16:58] ahmad: you can [16:58] button 8 [16:58] yes [16:58] perlmonkey: I have used a windows-app to hide a partition with a so called "low-level-protection"... but now the app can't find that partition and I can't access the data... so I am wondering if there is any way to do this with my ubuntu-box? access a hidden partition and atleast restore the data from it... and then maybe re-partition and format it... [16:58] wtf [16:58] perlmonkey: :) [16:58] !who | Fade [16:58] Fade: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [16:58] spazm: you're funny [16:58] How well can my HD4870 be running under Ubuntu (x64)?

[16:59] jrib, ntfs [16:59] jrib: button 8 [16:59] Hi there, I have upgraded my ubuntu and have problems with the screen. I have changed the resolution and now I have lines across so I cannot change it back the normal. How can I change it back? [16:59] spazm: i once used a little utility called photorec and theres another related one which comes with it, it can restore lost or corrupted partitions and individual files, should be a last resort measure tho [16:59] xev sees all the buttons [16:59] ahmad: ntfs doesn't use permissions, specify a mask in the mount options [17:00] dose it cost enything to use your home server as an web server (in germany) [17:00] DoYouKnow, remove flashplugin-nonfree [17:00] how to install sound drivers in my ubuntu [17:00] Kubuntu -> KDE, Xubuntu -> XFCE... ??? -> E17 [17:00] http://pastebin.com/m2791bde6 i have unmet dependencies when i try sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [17:00] Azhi_Dahaka: enlightenment [17:00] n8tuser: I don't want to backup it [17:00] I want it to BE on a separate partition [17:00] Fade: ok, but my first question? What button are you actually talking about on the physical mouse? The wheel or the rectangle above the wheel? [17:00] much better than Hardy! [17:00] perlmonkey: yea, that's what I am trying... different "undelete" apps [17:01] Azhi_Dahaka-> then you can move the backup to the separate partition, come on man ..swing along with me... :P [17:01] hehehe [17:01] dose it cost enything to use your home server as an web server (in germany) [17:01] Should I upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10? [17:01] Recommended/unrecommended? [17:01] Babu: pastebin the errors you get.

It shows one large unallocated hard disk, even though I have 5 partitions (including ext3 for my previous kubuntu release) [17:01] Anybody else :D? [17:01] instalei o fluxubuntu mas só fica no terminal como ativa ele? [17:01] Azhi_Dahaka: resize an existing partition with gparted, and follow that tutorial [17:01] linuxnoop: just internet connection and electricity [17:01] is there any solution to it? [17:01] jrib: well, historically middle mouse was mapped to the rearmost button above the thumbwheel. [17:01] linuxnoop-> if you pay per bit to your ISP , then it will [17:01] Azhi_Dahaka: Any major changes? [17:02] UH? [17:02] Fade: ok. mapped how? [17:02] n8tuser: and if i want to format my harddrive and mount it how can i do ,. sinc it do not let me mount as NTFS [17:02] ok thx [17:02] What are you talking about, prince_jammys? [17:02] Azhi_Dahaka: Graphical changes. [17:02] X just mapped it there automatically. [17:02] jrib, ok, i tried but when i'm trying to launch eclipse from that ntfs keeps telling me "there's no app to run this type" or "permission denied" [17:02] R0b0t1-> i'd do a fresh install it was me [17:02] if you place a spicey sausage ontop of the server theres a rebate on the cost of the internet service charge and electricity, but only in some regions of Germany === Ekushey- is now known as Ekushey [17:02] Azhi_Dahaka: weren't you asking about putting /home on a separate partition? if not, sorry. [17:02] On Ibex my file-roller is failing to open or create zip files. It claims "incorrect command line" when trying to do any zip operations. Any ideas how to diagnose? I've tried stracing it but I can't see much that's helping me. (i've tried reinstalling it plus zip/unzip are installed and both work fine from the command line) [17:02] is there a dedicated chat for ubuntu server or do i just come here? [17:02] jrib: or the ubuntu hotplug system did... it just worked so I never looked at the underlying configuration. [17:02] dli_, ok, that seemed to work partially. I'm trying to get the videos at milw0rm.com to play [17:03] dli_, the videos still don't load [17:03] n8tuser: Heh, it wouldn't do anything for me. I'd just copy my ~ directory anyway... :P [17:03] yes... but I fail to see what it has to do with gparted [17:03] van fdisk /dev/sdX [17:03] dli_, but there is a "waiting" symbol near my pointer [17:03] Fade: weird... Personally, I use the wheel for middle click (need to use revoco). Nothing is currently button 2? === felix-da-catz is now known as felix-da-catz_zz === predator363 is now known as mikel1 [17:03] DoYouKnow, it waits forever? [17:03] Azhi_Dahaka: nothing, if the partition is ready. [17:03] anyone on my problem?? [17:04] dli_, yeah, but when I switch screens then go back the waiting thing is gone [17:04] van: you can use gparted if you want a gui [17:04] dli_, when I switch windows, rather [17:04] not screens [17:04] how can I change my IP? if I use system, settings, network config it ignores my settings and changes them back to auto after a reboot [17:04] jrib: well, the mouse wheel seems to have a physical function that switches the wheel between 'notched' spinning and 'free' spinning' [17:04] hey there guys [17:04] Fade: right, you can change that with revoco [17:04] i'm gonna call my pet snake, trumpet [17:04] pressing the wheel in doesn't result in a mouse event. [17:04] problem loading photos in mozilla [17:04] i have a problem using 8.10 64bit [17:05] sken: example? [17:05] Fade: that's just what I prefer. I can help you get the old behavior instead if you want [17:05] hardwired-> you want static or dynamic?

[17:06] but it seems suboptimal if the wheel press causes the physical characteristics of the wheel to change between presses. [17:06] ubuntu server chat here or is there a dedicated one? [17:06] youtube problem is due to flash [17:06] oooh, I can't change, I have to delete and then add. what lameness. [17:06] so I guess the old behaviour is preferred. [17:06] joe_ I recomeend getting skype from medibuntu.org [17:06] N8 i am not sure?

[17:09] perlmonkey: For real. I saw a 1TB hd on Newegg for $100 a few days ago. [17:09] DoYouKnow, yes, since there are three available players [17:09] vlc doesn't work. only the audio runs.. I am talking about windows AVSQ format.. [17:09] phew that is cheap [17:10] perlmonkey: that would basically mean getting a new computer? [17:10] pinklerose-> you may want to run over to #apache for now or #php [17:10] so I'm trying to figure out how to fix grub from the command line and figure out how to fix the video from the command line as well [17:10] RinTinTigger, No choice between an nvidia or ati proprietary driver?

[17:10] no mat-dg im afraid# [17:10] is there task manager in ubuntu ? [17:10] ahmad: Well if its NTFS, its probably Windows, which means you can't just run the programs natively.

[17:10] Fade: http://goron.de/~froese/revoco/ you'll need to compile it [17:10] andresj: not necessarily, depends what spec your system is and if you want the server/files to be available 24.7 [17:10] I have lines across my screen, how can I change the resolution? [17:10] Gaby bist du deutsch? [17:11] http://paste.ubuntu.com/65804/ [17:11] !fixres > Gaby [17:11] Gaby, please see my private message [17:11] ahamd: You'll have to install wine and then install the program on that side. [17:11] hmm... can I mount a folder inside the partition? [17:11] hello everyone [17:11] RinTinTigger: Nein [17:11] lol [17:11] xominous, it's eclipse, all it need is java :), beside i downloaded it for linux [17:11] hello guys....i would like to install a "log" program in my router, is it possible [17:11] Gaby, do u have the stripes when running videos ? [17:11] perlmonkey: well the whole point is to be able to have a backup if something goes wrong w/ my own computer. [17:11] andresj: if you do want dedicated server, any old machine will do, something you can pick up for <$40 [17:11] most routers come with a built in log [17:11] So, one folder is installed as /home and the rest od the partition at /misc [17:11] Mat-dg what else can i do to get desctop effects running? [17:11] ahmad: What extension is the file you're trying to run? [17:11] jrib: I'll take a look. thank you [17:12] RinTinTigger, first a graphics driver must be installed [17:12] np [17:12] xominous, nothing. it's just 'eclipse' [17:12] think_linux-> if your router is linux base and have a memory space, yes you can [17:12] Mat-dg how? [17:12] andresj: oh in that case just install a 2nd had drive i would, and make a backup to that, like a cron job for periodic copying [17:12] my ubuntu have graphics auto installed but no sound [17:12] Fade: I just run 'revoco click' and it does what I want. More options are explained there though [17:12] jrib, permissions are rwxrwxrwx [17:12] so how about them bultin 177 nvidia drivers with 8.10? they no workie!!! [17:12] how can I find out, from the commandline, which package provides a certain file? [17:12] i have a regular wireless router [17:12] nevermind... can /home be a link? [17:12] is there task manager in ubuntu ? [17:12] RinTinTigger, try to find out what card you are using, ATI, Nvidia or an integrated chipset [17:12] wereHamster: apt-file or use packages.ubuntu.com [17:13] http://paste.ubuntu.com/65804/ [17:13] mat-dg is there a command for how to figure out? [17:13] E-XtraCt: ps or gnome-system-monitor === rw- is now known as rw [17:13] Azhi_Dahaka: pretty sure it can, yes [17:13] anyone want to answer some questions for me about video in 8.10?

[17:14] ahmad: have you tried running it via the terminal using su - or sudo? [17:14] wereHamster: apt-cache and apt-get are your friends :) [17:14] andresj: the advantage of that also is the backup is immediately available should the other file or hard drive get lost, you can copy it back over easily, or mount the other drive [17:14] Can I just reformat a FAT32 drive as EXT3 ? Or do I have delete partition and create a new one first ? [17:14] wereHamster: is it a file you already have in your system? [17:14] RinTinTigger: I have them on my entire screen, I cannot access anything [17:14] ah well, there seems to be a deeper problem: postfix: fatal: /etc/postfix/postfix-script: No such file or directory [17:14] xominous, actually no, but i copied the whole folder to my home folder and it worked wel [17:14] Gaby: from the start right away or after o activated something?

[17:27] I'm about to install Ibex but I can't decide between 32 or 64 bit. I have 8gb of ram and run VM's but I also use flash heavily and flash sucks on 64bit.. what to do? :) [17:27] So fresh install without net, or xserver. Anyone have suggestions of where to start.

After installing the DVD codecs for totem my totem player is crashing it is not able to play MP3? Is this is the right forum? I am using intrepid ibex. [17:28] kevinhuff-> you have the liveCD rom? and a running linux already? [17:28] NicEXE, do you know your kernel partition dev? like /dev/hda1? [17:28] dli_: you seem to know about this - when restarting after the distupgrade for ibex, / is mounted as read-only [17:28] yep, can't boot to the live either [17:28] DracNoc: you answered me? [17:28] how can I find out why that happens? [17:28] dli_: is the partition with linux init (right?) [17:28] dwees: should load automatically ubuntu adds a line to grub for each new kernel automatically [17:28] Hello all. What do I use to direct a bash script's output to a file? [17:28] kevinhuff-> a running linux already? [17:28] NicEXE, you need to supply kernel parameter root= [17:28] I was running 8.04 and decied to make the leap [17:28] kitche: except it didn't [17:29] larsivi, most likely, you need "fsck" [17:29] hello, i have just turned on my ubuntu machine and killed all X-related stuff to get a console system. the ram usage was 45 MB. then, after ssh-ing in, sudo apt-get removing a bunch of stuff, running a few small perl scripts, and restarting hald a couple of times, the ram usage went up to 200 MB. (this is after subtracting cache and buffers) does anyone know how this could happen? if i add up the output of ps aux mem field, it doens't add up to [17:29] 200 MB so i think that extra 150 MB is in-kernel allocations. (if it makes any difference, one of the command lines i ran was about 5 KB long and contained 500 arguments) [17:29] jimmio: '>' or ">>" [17:29] dwees: then add it just follow the same line as your other kernels [17:29] kevinhuff-> what happened to the net access? [17:29] dli_: what file changing is needed? [17:29] I did a fresh install. And it isn't there [17:29] DracNoc: I had a connection problem, sorry, what's the package again? it would be better if you tell me the package as in sudo apt-get install [name] [17:29] dwees: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst [17:29] nod [17:29] Fade: So sh ./compile >> log.txt? [17:29] NicEXE, just hit "e" in grub to modify the lines [17:29] I know it isn't a hardware problem [17:29] dli_: just run it? [17:29] RinTinTigger, is this your first time ubuntu? [17:29] not really [17:30] but my first time with problems like this [17:30] larsivi, yes, like " fsck -y -f /dev/hda1" [17:30] dli_: replace what with what? [17:30] larsivi, since it's mounted ro, you should be able to fsck / [17:30] jimmio that would work [17:30] why is latest kernel in ubuntu 8.04 2.6.24 and not 2.6.27? [17:30] RinTinTigger, then your first time enabling compiz on that machine? [17:30] i have an old ubuntu wubi install, but now i'm running on a fully-partitioned version. is there any way to mount the wubi image or access it somehow from my fully-partitioned version? [17:30] Fade: Thanks =D [17:30] jimmio: the difference between > and >> is that > clobbers any existing files and >> appends to them. [17:30] NicEXE, it's root=UUID=blahblah, replace it with root=/dev/hda1 (of course, you supply the real dev name) [17:31] mat-dg yea....with 8.04 it was enabled out of the box [17:31] Osamak: sudo apt-get install hubackup [17:31] mat-dg i tried to do "SKIP_CHEKCS=yes compiz --replace" [17:31] is there a specific channel for 8.10? [17:31] carpeliam-> what do you need to retrieve from the old wubi installation? [17:31] NicEXE, if you have no idea, better to boot a livecd and find out [17:31] <_moro_bana_> im an ubuntu user and hear that the next windows is going to have touchscreen stuff and other fancy things.any news from linux developers? [17:31] RinTinTigger, so on 8.04 you had no problems with heavy effects? [17:31] DaveCave: nope [17:31] ikonia: I jus test it whit ither game.. same thing [17:31] mat-dg: no [17:31] why is latest kernel in ubuntu 8.04 2.6.24 and not 2.6.27? [17:32] kitche: thanks [17:32] n8tuser: some files, probably under my home dir i think [17:32] _moro_bana_: linux has that for couple of years now [17:32] _moro_bana_: windows mobile already has it, so does android :) [17:32] DracNoc: I'm testing it, thank you [17:32] <_moro_bana_> i know, i mean for laptops [17:32] titon, 2.6.27 not released at 8.04 age [17:32] carpeliam-> you can mount ntfs partitions and read it from ubuntu [17:32] dli_: 'k - guess it'll work for a few minutes then [17:32] _moro_bana_: like I said linux has that for years already [17:33] ahh is it in 8.10? i havent upgraded yet cuz nvidia... :/ [17:33] <--- needs to ask support questions for ubuntu8.10, regarding Nvidia (openGL/GLX) [17:33] kitche: how do I find out exactly what kernel's I have installed and what text to include under kernel = and initrd = : is there a page I can go look at? [17:33] <_moro_bana_> kitche: wow, i have been in darkness [17:33] larsivi, yes, it could be really slow, and you have to reboot it after, since it's / [17:33] DaveCave: ask away. this is the right channel [17:33] DaveCave: ask, don't ask to ask [17:33] >.< [17:33] DaveCave, if u have a legacy card u gonna have to ait for drivers [17:33] dli_: thanx [17:33] larsivi, you'd better fsck all file partitions too, if any [17:33] How do I register my nick?

The drivers bugged Compiz though... the title bar disappears randomly O.o === cabrini is now known as Guest10664 [17:34] n8tuser thanks reading [17:35] larsivi, most likely, unclean shutdown, power-off [17:35] dli does b43 driver come as a module for stoc kernel in 8.10? [17:35] my ubuntu 8.10 doesnt identify my nvidia driver [17:35] dli_: I did via the upgrade restart notification - looked clean to me [17:36] so i installed 8.10 and i told it to activate the 177 ver nvidia drivers that 8.10 now comes with, unlike 8.04, and once the drivers install and i hafta restart the computer it loads to TTy1 and wont let me bootup my GUI cause says no video found or some crap, i cant even gedit my xorg.conf cause says no display device, ive loaded and reinstalled 8.10 5 times, cause i cant get a gui back [17:36] im in windows now [17:36] each time i try something different with the drivers and still no good [17:36] I Installed Ubuntu 8.04 and have no sound at all, tried alsamixer, changed everything, it is detecting the driver but nor working, please help. [17:36] so im at a clean install again, waiting for instructions [17:36] messed-up, yes, just try, rmmod old one, and modprobe new one [17:36] in 8.10 my USB headset works with ALSA in Xfce, but not in GNOME, get an "unable to initialise device" error [17:36] Hello there. =) I have a problem when installing 8.10 from the release image.

[17:36] mat-dg i did it [17:36] dli can i use the firmwares i used for b43legacy? [17:37] DracNoc: Can this package restore the backup? This is the point. [17:37] DaveCave, Just for your reference, "nano" and "pico" and terminal based editors aimed at providing you editing capabilities without GUI === nix is now known as Guest77465 [17:37] my ubuntu 8.10 doesnt identify my nvidia driver [17:37] don't use pico for editing system files. [17:37] RinTinTigger, okay, now restart X and try to enable compiz again [17:37] it inserts invisible control chars all over the damned place. [17:37] mat-dg witch ctrl alt and backspace? [17:37] but jed, or vim would be fine. [17:38] Any way to customize bash? (colors, bold, etc ( [17:38] )* [17:38] messed-up, I found something on forum: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6078027 [17:38] Fade: heh, then i wouldn't use it to edit ANY files [17:38] RinTinTigger, yes, I'll waint until u come back :) [17:38] Fade, Ok. Never knew that. nano has that wrapping bug for editing files [17:38] how do i install the nvidia driver manually? [17:38] pico is awful [17:38] dli i'll check it out [17:38] :) [17:38] FreshUbuntuNoob: i doubt that's a bug as much as it is intentional [17:38] thank u mat-dg [17:38] vi/m is fun tho [17:38] ganymede, I know. -w flag turns it off. Still it is a bug than a feature [17:38] so who has 8.10 with nvidia and has opengl and glx direct rendering working? [17:38] specially for a noob [17:39] No sound at all with an NVidia card on Ubuntu 8.04. Detecing the driver and nothing happens, I re-installed and stills the same... [17:39] ay^: it's more fun to watch a newcomer trying to use vim [17:39] DaveCave, my ubuntu 8.10 doesnt identify my nvidia driver... [17:39] ASTURIAS, nvidia is always a headache:( [17:39] Hy i can't enable may wireless pelase help me [17:39] prince_jammys: hehe yeha, I mean that it aint fun being the noob with vim [17:39] hi .. i desperately need help ... i installed ubuntu on my sisters pc .. i installed it on the same hdd as of windows xp .. now my sister thinks she cant handle ubuntu for some reason and wants me to take it out .. how do i remove it from the bootloader coz the rest i guess ill just use the windows xp disk manager and knock off the partitions and format em to ntfs or something .. that should remove ubuntu .. but getting it out of the boo [17:39] dli_: Yes it is [17:39] i thought i read something about installing ubuntu from a flash drive now. If i put the iso on a flash drive, will it install from there? [17:40] okay that fixed grub kind of [17:40] at least now I'm using the most recent kernel [17:40] Guest77465: just use your xp disk and boot it, and get into rescue thing and do "fixmbr" and/or "fixboot" [17:40] mat-dg it didnt Work, i could not activate the effects [17:40] now how do I fix my video settings so the GUI will load [17:40] any particular reason why I get a grub error 17 when trying to boot 8.10 from a USB stick made with unetbootin? [17:40] ASTURIAS, better to buy a cheap ati card:) instead of being tortured again and again [17:40] n8tuser: i've already mounted my windows partition, but the wubi image is just a file called "root.disk" inside of that- how would i mount that? [17:40] dli_: ati is torture also, i guess [17:40] the live CD video settings work fine, is there a way to import them into my installed video settings? [17:40] dli_: I know I will find a solution soon. [17:40] is it me or ubuntu really gets slower on every release? [17:41] its just something so simple, i had nvidia working on 8.04 [17:41] just cant get it on 8.10 [17:41] Hello there. =) I have a problem when installing 8.10 from the release image. It boots up fine but it does not let me use my mouse and keyboard. Didn't find any hints on how to fix that, does anyone know? I've been searching for a while now and the bug seems to be known, I just need some way to fix it so I can at least install 8.10 on my PC. =( [17:41] Nece228, phoronix.com agrees with you. [17:41] dwees: copy the xorg.conf from livecd to your install [17:41] carpediem-> if you do a file root.disk what is the response? [17:41] RinTinTigger, okay go to System > Admin.. > Hardware Drivers again... still nothing? [17:41] Hy i can't enable may wireless pelase help me [17:41] I have a Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini PCI Adapter (rev 04) and the driver is the ipw2100 [17:41] i have to use windows xp to use wireless :'( [17:41] anyone here gotten ibex to install their nvidia drivers (177) ??? mine just sits at 0% [17:41] ay^: the xp cd has it ? or should i boot it thru windows xp and look for fixmbr ?? [17:41] Nece228: there's some actual data showing that ubuntu has declined in performance since 7.04 [17:41] ASTURIAS, not sure whether this helps, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6076972#post6076972 [17:41] Guest77465: the CD has it, in the installer [17:41] mat-dg: still nothing [17:41] Nece228: although this is likely related to big changes in scheduling and vm in the kernel. [17:41] Guest77465: but you dont have to install it of course, just boot the cd and it's there [17:41] dli_: I will check it, thanks. [17:41] I'm running 8.10 and it seems that I'm having a problem with dhcp [17:42] billybigrigger_: not that it'd help you much, but mine installed without problems [17:42] is there a way to set different default display managers for different users? [17:42] Osamak: if you installed hubackup, it wil also install "hurestore" (as a dependancy). It's the twin program to the backup. [17:42] I can't connect to any network that uses dhcp [17:42] Fade: so linux is moving same way as windows [17:42] actuallly [17:42] billybigrigger, sudo aptitude install nvidia-glx-177 in terminal [17:42] I'm not quite sure [17:42] ay^: boot from the cd ? will it give me the option ? [17:42] ASTURIAS, I got tortured by both nvidia and ati, now, I'm glad, I ended up with ati [17:42] what does it mean this: Either --appname or --package arguments are required, it's show when I try to start bug-buddy [17:42] hardwired, hah i tried the other day (release day) over and over and it just hung on 0% and i think i tried the day after...just went to go check it again and its done, so just slooow servers :P [17:42] Guest77465: yes! look out for something about recovery [17:42] any particular reason why I get a grub error 17 when trying to boot 8.10 from a USB stick made with unetbootin? [17:43] Hello. Virtualbox can't compile a new kernel driver after upgrading to 8.10. [17:43] http://pastebin.com/d763a4ef8 [17:43] Nece228: I think linux is going through major architectural changes that have caused some performance regressions that will be fixed. [17:43] RinTinTigger, okay I'll google for a while [17:43] ay^, Recovery Console? [17:43] ay^: ok cool ... thank man [17:43] DefunctProcess: I have no clue, bot you ain tthe first one to complain about it [17:43] Damn... =( That stuff works on Windows, why doesn't it work on Linux?

[17:43] mat-dg thanks 4 help, i restart the whole system in the meantime [17:43] Guest77465, Recovery Console should be the option. Be on the lookout for it [17:43] Anyone? I'm having a problem connecting to my home wireless network [17:43] ay^: Mouse and keyboard. [17:44] Nece228: the major changes came in since 7.04 [17:44] how do i install the nvidia driver? [17:44] MnemonicPunk: oh.. [17:44] wrt ubuntu [17:44] ay^, i just tried to rewrite the usb stick and now i get a new error, it says it cant find the boot image linux ..... [17:44] but the scheduler has changed radically [17:44] I can use the cable straight from the dsl modem but I can't connect to the wireless network [17:44] DracNoc: It's buggy [17:44] ay^: They even work on my 8.04 install. Just not with 8.10 =( [17:44] Also, unrelated to initial problem: System > About Ubuntu is missing some text in this version "Thank you for your interest in Ubuntu - the - released in ." [17:44] Fade: for example? [17:44] MnemonicPunk: are they USB? [17:44] the card is working fine [17:44] it does detect networks [17:44] carpeliam-> -> if you do a file root.disk what is the response? [17:44] ay^: oh by the way ... my method of removing ubuntu will be ok right ? im thinking of using the windows disk manager tool to remove the linux and swap partitions and then formatting em into ntfs i guess [17:44] DefunctProcess: okay, still I have no idea whats wrong [17:44] dli_: no change after fsck and rebooting [17:44] Osamak: I just noticed that. Searching for alternatives now. [17:44] but I can't connect, it stops at "getting address" [17:44] hello, I installed intrepid in another partition than hardy, with a separate /boot partition. how to make my system look into that new /boot partition instead of the old hardy's partition ? [17:44] Nece228: this is documented ad nauseum in the kernel release notes which you can read at kernel.org [17:44] Guest77465: yeah that should work fine [17:44] ay^: Don't know how the keyboard is wired (it's a laptop xD) but the mouse is USB, yes. [17:45] same thing happened in the college today, I couldn't even connect using the cable there [17:45] MnemonicPunk: ergh.. then it kind of sucks.. [17:45] tacone add an entry in the primary boot loader menu.lst [17:45] larsivi, still "ro"? [17:45] MnemonicPunk: about the keyboard especially.. [17:45] hi all, I am unable to save documents using either openoffice / inkscape / gedit. Each ends up crashing. Although through console I am able to create text files, using vim. Is some library corrupted ? [17:45] dli_: yes [17:45] larsivi, that's weird, worth a troubleshooting [17:45] what does it mean this: Either --appname or --package arguments are required, it's show when I try to start bug-buddy [17:45] larsivi, did fsck find any error? [17:45] Nece228: I think it's something to be concerned about, but I also think it's going to change for the better. [17:45] n8tuser: where's is that ? on the windows partition ? [17:45] [17:45] MnemonicPunk: the only thing I could think of that might conflict with it is if you added something about it to xorg.conf [17:45] ay^: Yesh. Keyboard works in text mode (when ctrl+alt+F* and log in in textmode) but not with X. =( [17:46] MnemonicPunk: uhm.. then check xorg.conf [17:46] I tried using dhcpcd eth* but apparently I don't have dhcpcd, could this be the problem? [17:46] Hello, i updated to 8.10 and AFTER the update was complete and finished (he just said i should reboot) i had a crashdown of electrificy so the PC crashed. Now if i want to boot he says he cant loadthe nvidia driver and so i tried to reinstall it. I got the .run package from nvidia.com in version: (96.43.07) and i tried to run it with sh. He said he'll try to load a kernel from ftp but did not find a matching one so he wanted to compile a kerne [17:46] but at the end of compiling he gives an error: "ERROR: unable to build the NVIDIA kernel module." [17:46] MnemonicPunk: but still rather strange I must say [17:46] tacone-> what windows partition? you didnot tell the whole story eh? [17:46] no. :) here it is: [17:46] GreenDelta`, you have linux-headers installed? [17:46] n8tuser: "root.disk: Linux rev 1.0 ext3 filesystem data (needs journal recovery) (large files)" [17:46] ljuwaidah, I don't know about intrepid. But I use "dhclient" or "dhclient3" in hardy [17:46] dli_: no errors by fsck [17:47] I'll try [17:47] carpeliam-> sudo mount -o loop /path/to/root.disk /mnt [17:47] larsivi, find out why it's mounted ro then, probably in /var/log/syslog [17:47] ljuwaidah, dhclient3 [INTERFACE_NAME] [17:47] dli_: i dont know what you mean exactly [17:47] ay^: Problem is: I have no idea what to add in xorg.conf >_> And: Does that help me with my liveCD or does it require a restart? [17:47] larsivi, no, since you have ro, try dmesg [17:47] fake raid system, with vista preinstalled. I installed hardy on another partition. now I installed intrepid creating 2 more partitions, /boot and /. still hardy's grub starts. [17:47] Not only my sound is not working at all, but my screen looks messed up when scroll, I have an NVidia Card... [17:47] n8tuser: do you need any other detail ? [17:48] MnemonicPunk: you have a this problem in livecd too? [17:48] mat-dg: restartet whole system, but no change [17:48] tacone i dont know anything about vista [17:48] how do i install the nvidia driver? [17:48] ASTURIAS, using -nv currently? [17:48] ay^: Yes, that's my main problem. xD Can't even install this way. [17:48] damnit [17:48] ok [17:48] tacone i know something bout vista :D [17:48] dli_: What's -nv? [17:48] n8tuser: thanks :D [17:48] my hdd was causing the errors i mentioned earlier during installation [17:48] which Ubuntu repository contains Unison? I can't find it in Ubuntu 8.10. [17:48] Question.. Whats the best program for linux to download music.. i know limewire works great on windows.. and whats a good music player for linux on ubuntu also? [17:48] MnemonicPunk: wicked.. does it work to install with 8.04 then upgrade? [17:48] ASTURIAS, -nv is the an open source driver for nvidia [17:49] carpeliam-> were you able to see the files in it? [17:49] dli_: i dont know what you mean exactly [17:49] dli_: Can I get it via Synaptics? [17:49] mrrcp player: minirock Program to download: depends on where u load [17:49] RinTinTigger: do you want me to repeat the whole story ? [17:49] how do i downgrade to 8.04 from intrepid? [17:49] n8tuser: yeah, that worked perfectly :) [17:49] OsamaK: try this: sudo apt-get install sbackup. Called by using commands: simple-backup-config AND simple-restore-gnome [17:49] isnt frostwire for linux? [17:49] tacone is there a short version? ^^ [17:49] ay^: I don't really want to upgrade my existing 8.04. Changed too much stuff manually and don't want that to carry over so I want to wipe and make a fresh install. [17:49] mrrcp, frostwire, [17:49] carpeliam-> am glad..good luck [17:49] ASTURIAS, I guess it's installed already, probably the one running, find out in /var/log/Xorg.0.log [17:49] ata1.01 exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x2 frozen. ata1.01 status { DRDY3 } cmd c8/00:08:00...... tag 0dma 4096 [17:49] disk failure? [17:50] RinTinTigger: fake raid system, with vista preinstalled. I installed hardy on another partition. now I installed intrepid creating 2 more partitions, /boot and /. still hardy's grub starts. [17:50] dli_: I used Envy-NG to install it [17:50] MnemonicPunk: yeah but still, install with a 8.04 disc and then upgrade that, without messing anything up :) [17:50] minirock is the best for music and stuff? [17:50] Question for bashang...please [17:50] dli_: I don't find any relevant errors in dmesg, in fact /dev/sda1 isn't mentioned at all beyond that it exists as part of sda [17:50] tacone, what dija install the last? [17:50] MnemonicPunk: I did that with my laptop back in 7.10->8.04 [17:50] ay^: Hm. May work. :D I think I'll try that. [17:50] nope, didn't work [17:50] mrccp minirock or amarok are my favorites [17:50] why is the package manager only showing a SUBSET of the INSTALLED packages and nothing else? [17:50] bazhang...please [17:50] I still can't connect to my wireless network [17:50] RinTinTigger: dijia = ? the last installed is intrepid. [17:50] MnemonicPunk: give it a shot :) good luck anyhow! [17:50] dli_: i dont know what you mean exactly [17:50] amarok for kde3 is awesome. [17:50] ASTURIAS, then, I don't really know:( === Ashfire is now known as Ashfire908 [17:51] can you install with apt-get? [17:51] the kde4 version is a mess. [17:51] dli_: ok [17:51] tacone dija=did you ... dija configure intrepids grub? [17:51] dli_: you asked me if i had linux headers installed [17:51] larsivi, can you remount / rw [17:51] mrrcp: was that to me? [17:51] can someone help me? [17:51] lbo_ken: yw [17:51] gedit crashes when trying to save a new file. Any help ? [17:51] GreenDelta`, try: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) [17:51] RinTinTigger, ok, try this now 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg' [17:52] mat-dg: im on my way, just wait a sec [17:52] RinTinTigger: to install intrepid installed dmraid, I partitioned manually. then used the gui installer (which crashed at the end of the process) [17:52] !anyone | jaypur [17:52] jaypur: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [17:52] minirock cannot be installed with apt-get? [17:52] dli_: umount/mount ? [17:52] RinTinTigger: I guess the crash isn't related to the partitions setup, just an ubuntu bug. [17:52] larsivi, like: sudo mount -oremount,rw / [17:52] i've already told my problem and nobody told anything... [17:52] what does it mean this: Either --appname or --package arguments are required, it's show when I try to start bug-buddy [17:52] hi [17:52] I'm almost sure there's nothing wrong with my wireless lan card [17:52] another question..... is there a advanced sound control system i can install to manage my sound? [17:52] RinTinTigger: I want my system to boot from the new /boot parition, not from hardy's /. [17:52] mat-dg i did so [17:53] RinTinTigger, okay don't forget to restart X [17:53] so dija configure intrepids grub then? [17:53] mrrcp: alsa (advanced linux sound architecture) lol [17:53] mat-dg on my way [17:53] http://pastebin.com/m6401f287 <-- why am I getting this? [17:53] dli_: it claims it already is mounted there :) [17:53] ljuwaidah1, Are you on intrepid? [17:53] dli_: he says linux headers generic thing is alreadyin the newest version [17:53] FreshUbuntuNoob: Yes [17:53] ljuwaidah1, are you trying to be funny? [17:54] ljuwaidah1, Can you see a list of wireless networks? [17:54] mrrcp: Yes :D but apparently I failed that [17:54] FreshUbuntuNoob: Yes [17:54] ljuwaidah1, Is your network encrypted? [17:54] GreenDelta`, then, it's not the problem [17:54] hmm [17:54] FreshUbuntuNoob: Yes [17:54] ring0: guess not. how to do that ? [17:54] wep [17:54] larsivi, so, it's mounted rw [17:54] RinTinTigger: : guess not. how to do that ? [17:54] mat-dg ....no changes at all [17:55] ljuwaidah1, WEP or WPA? [17:55] FreshUbuntuNoob: wep [17:55] dli_: u have another idea? [17:55] ljuwaidah1, When you try to connect using the Network Manager, does it ask you for a key? [17:55] larsivi, what's the original error message? [17:55] Yes [17:55] tacone use www.gidf.de and look for grub configuration (just a joke i dunno how, but thats the thing u have to do [17:55] dli_: I already tried to insallt anotherversion but it did not work 2 [17:55] FreshUbuntuNoob: And I enter it [17:55] RinTinTigger, still can't enable compiz? [17:55] I need to run a binary and redirect stderr into a logfile. What's the syntax for that? [17:55] GreenDelta`, no, I tell people to dump nvidia and buy ati:( [17:55] RinTinTigger: ok [17:55] NO SOUND!!! Using Ubuntu 8.04 Please Help~! [17:55] mat-dg no changes in desktop effects and driver stuff [17:56] then it goes "attempting to join ..." [17:56] why is the package manager only showing a SUBSET of the INSTALLED packages and nothing else? i've tried three different ones, they all do this. [17:56] dli_: bad idea :P or u have money ^^ [17:56] what music player? [17:56] FreshUbuntuNoob: then "requesting a network address from ..." [17:56] dli_: the system startup fails with various messages about how /var/this and /var/that is read only filesystem [17:56] dli_: also I [17:56] ASTURIAS, sound is easier than video, do you have something in cat /proc/asound/cards [17:56] also I'm not able to edit files in my home or anywhere else [17:56] DracNoc: looks nice, I'll try the first backup. [17:56] ok how to install the codecs in 8.10 [17:56] i forgot [17:57] Hi. I need to downgrade all the stuff that makes sound work to the versions provided in hardy, because with intrepid my sound is very bugy [17:57] what do i do in sources [17:57] Osamak: good luck, Let us know how you get on. [17:57] FreshUbuntuNoob: then after a while it shows me the box asking for the key again (which I'm sure is correct) [17:57] dli_: yes, the fdriver appears there [17:57] Anybody has an idea? 8.10, trying to setup nvidia drivers, he cant build the kernel module. Linux headers already in newest version [17:57] dli_: the system is meant to be mounted rw according to fstab but I assume it goes into errors=ro instead? [17:57] larsivi, is / mounted rw, (and other partitions)? [17:57] how can I change permissions group and owner of a symlink without effecting the target? [17:57] ljuwaidah1, Can you do a "sudo dhclient 3 wlan0" from terminal. Replace wlan0 with your wireless interface name [17:57] ok [17:57] !alsa checklist [17:57] Sorry, I don't know anything about alsa checklist [17:58] ASTURIAS, 1) run alsaconf as root 2) add yourself to the 'audio' group (log out and log in again) 3) use alsamixer and unmute channels and raise levels (also try muting some channels) 4) arts or esound stopped? 5) OSS modules unloaded? 6) speakers on? 7) modprobe snd-pcm-oss 8) does "aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Noise.wav" work for root? Test your sound with aplay and a wav so codec issues don't confuse the situation. ers> [17:58] ASTURIAS, the checklist from #debian [17:58] dli_: mount shows nothing as being ro [17:58] zerothis, not sure that the permissions on a symlink really have any meaning [17:58] how do i install codecs for video and sound in 8.10 what do i do in sofware sources [17:58] FreshUbuntuNoob: do I have to connect it using the network manager or something beforehand? [17:58] dli_: for / mount says (rw, errors=remount-ro) [17:58] larsivi, and mount -o remount,rw / [17:59] dli_: Ok, I will try that [17:59] ASTURIAS, it's easier, if the driver is up [17:59] Hey guys.

[19:11] al__: You can make changes at the grub menu by hitting 'e' and then making the changes (then hitting 'b' to boot, if I remember). Shotgun debugging for a little might be a good way to go about it. Try hd0,2 (which is sda3) just for laughs. [19:11] soundray: the key is there as xf86audiomute, but does not do anything; volume up and down do work though. [19:12] i changed the screen resolution to one to big for my monter i want to chane i back to one that will be better [19:12] jacekowski: The kubuntu people.

[19:30] How can I make a script work without having to enter the admin password every time? [19:30] Flannel, that little thing ubuntu has on 8.04 allowing me to keep ubuntu and windows. ubuntu installes inside windoes [19:30] suid [19:31] wish there was an installer or something where i could double click [19:31] alphamale1: you mean wubi. [19:31] what ever [19:31] i'm lost in command line stuff. i can copy and paste commands from the forum, but i don't understand it [19:31] alphamale1: Check your boot.ini, is there a non-windows entry in there? [19:31] and when it spits out and error, i don't know why [19:31] Flannel, i just installed SP1 for vista and it killed ubuntu [19:32] alphamale1: It likely recreated your boot.ini [19:32] sos [19:32] is there any reason why I get a black screen when booting with the ibex live cd?

[19:48] lianimator1: Sounds like a graphics card driver / accelrated graphics issue then. What gfx hardware you got?

[19:51] I need a permanent solution [19:51] lianimator: Hmm. Have you done a google with the apropriate terms?

[19:53] DracNoc, ok reboot did not help and lsusb lists the device properly. [19:53] O134M4: xorg has lately acquired sufficient brain so that it autodetects most cards, hence one often does not have to specify driver name etc in xorg.conf.

[19:55] np :) [19:55] O134M4: It autoprobes. Or do you mean where xorg looks for matching device ID to drivers? [19:55] Lynet: I've been using since dapper and some changes leave me dumbfounded! I personally liked being able to see this detailed information [19:55] Flannel:what is de procedure once I'm on the livecd? [19:55] why? [19:56] Lynet: I mean surely it must store the information somewhere [19:56] O134M4: If you want to see which driver itis using, look in the /var/log/Xorg.0.log [19:56] Ubuntu - its *unix? [19:56] Lynet: for instance if I want to workout what driver is in use by someones system, I used to look at their xorg.conf to find this out, if they run a new ubuntu then this in no longer possible [19:56] can anyone help me please [19:57] DracNoc, installed and restarted still noy joy [19:57] Lynet: well that answers that... but surely "Configured Video Device" info must reside somewhere [19:57] O134M4: Look at the xorg log file. [19:57] jin_: Try to start the Synaptic package manager (it in the System -> Administration menu). Then do a search for 'dutch' and install the relevant dictionary [19:57] Ubuntu - its *unix? [19:57] Vladimir[LV]: wrong ;) [19:58] i can't find codecs for mp3..can anyone help me? [19:58] Vladimir[LV]: unix compatible.... (posix...) [19:58] thanks! [19:58] O134M4: It autoprobes. If the Device section does not list a driver, then xorg will look at what hardware is in the machine and then load the appropriate driver depending on what it finds. Nothing is stored, it is autoprobed. [19:58] i have a problem, the keyboard special keys like curor are broken after the upgrade [19:59] faith:What do you need [19:59] Vladimir[LV]: that all depends if you want it to be. it can be Windows if thats waht you really want it to be for some reason [19:59] Is there a mirror for the Intrepid update? [19:59] Lynet: ahhh. interesting.... would be nice if it probed then filled in the data for the current state in the xorg.conf.... [19:59] pressing "up" makes a screenshot .... [19:59] Because the UK servers seem to be taking a hammering === computer_ is now known as Spaz926 [19:59] DracNoc, shouldnt there be a popup asking me what the key is on my laptop? i get no such popup could that be the source? [19:59] O134M4: If you want to know which driver it is using, look in the Xorg.0.log file in /var/log, or do X --probeonly [20:00] Flannel: are you still here? [20:00] Lynet: Unrecognized option: --probeonly [20:00] i need help [20:00] DefunctProcess: you should be asked about a PIN... [20:00] DracNoc, guess what, connecting from phone to laptop worked insteadof laptop to phone... [20:00] the volume controls on my laptop are working, but they don't do anything. the volume stays the same. [20:00] my pen drive is not being detected in 8.10 [20:01] boozkachu: You can download much faster if you grab the Alternate install CD off BitTorrent, mount the ISO, and treat that as a package repository for the purposes of upgrading. It's a leet hack. [20:01] Spaz926: Thanks for helping me, i've tried to install linux Mint on a flash drive that's plugged into my dell XT, it's a widescreen laptop with the resolution 1280x800, i cannot get X started [20:01] DracNoc, thanks for your help [20:01] Hi, how do you change video drivers in intrepid ? [20:01] DefunctProcess: it's now working?! [20:01] RyanPrior: Thanks [20:01] DracNoc, yes [20:01] it gives me VESA(0): no matching modes [20:01] RyanPrior: Is there a link for the Torrent?

[20:05] some button combinations are used as root [20:05] thus don't work [20:05] I have come to this idea because when I was in the ubuntu instalation It worked. [20:05] paul68: It tells you what the mountpoint is of those partitions. So, say sda5 is mounted at /home/paul/myporn, and you look in there and you're like "man, that crap is jank", you can go ahead and remove that partition. [20:05] but now they don't [20:06] Lynet: sorry to be a pain and keep bugging you.. but... what in this case is loaded ati or radeon? http://paste.ubuntu.com/65875/ [20:06] the buttons for making the screen brighter or darker.

[20:09] i want to know if uml can be applied to projects based on procedural languages [20:09] Lynet: surely it can only use one or the other? I thought it looked strange with both loaded! ;) [20:09] When I do the combination keys for darker/lighter screen they don't work, when I disable the mousepad it works but when I want to enable it again it doesn't work. I'm thinking it's something that can't be run by my user. The question is... where do I set my user to run those applications without root questioning... This is on a laptop (fujitsu-siemens) [20:09] O134M4: It usually should get those right, but depends on the particular driver. [20:09] hello [20:10] I am having problems with getting my Dell C400 to wake properly from suspend. Everything seems fine except the display stays off. I can login with ssh and I have try restarting X (ctrl-alt-backspace) by the display just stays off. Anyone has an idea how I should debug this? [20:10] i cannot see my NetworkManager icon. I just upgraded to 8.10 [20:10] CMD_L1N3: i had the same problem [20:10] it fixed itself eventually [20:11] Lynet: see I'm interested in what OSS driver is in use as there is lots of work taking place at the mo on the ati front... fglrx too.... [20:11] CMD_L1N3: launch it by hand. alt + F2 nm-applet [20:11] I think it might be sudo nm-applet erUSUL [20:11] i have a problem, i can't loging via ssh to server [20:11] erUSUL: nothing happens [20:11] CMD_L1N3: for me, it was a problem with my wireless driver, it wasnt loading correctly [20:11] Flannel: i switched from the canadian servers to the main servers and now it works. thanks for your help [20:11] How do i do a ntfs partition that both ubu and win can see? [20:11] blue_mushroom: afaik nm does not need sudo [20:11] CMD_L1N3: try: gksu nm-applet [20:11] i can loggin to root, just this one account that i have problems with [20:11] O134M4: True, looks like both drivers are loaded. The RADEON: line probably means that radeon_drv is the one that is being used. [20:12] Oh... OK erUSUL [20:12] Brucee: that's correct [20:12] you can't [20:12] I have no sound at alkl, I'm on Ubuntu 8.04 [20:12] you don't need to [20:12] oops [20:12] i need help keyboard support is broken.. usnusable.. cursor up makes a screensot.. the keyboard is fine in console and at GDM but not after login [20:12] Brucee: what problems do you have with it? [20:12] O134M4: I unfortunately have no machine here with ati gfx, so can't doublecheck unfortunately. [20:12] robtp: i am connected to a wireless network i just cannot see that i am via nm-applet [20:13] hi there! i'm trying to run a second X session for games, and so i initialise it with "X :2 -ac" - It works ok, but in 50% of the cases my first (standard) x session is somehow logged out and i'm in the ubuntu logon screen again [20:13] i can't seem to log in into one account, via ssh, but the rest of the accounts are fine [20:13] nm-applet is running right now [20:13] what can it be ? blue_mushroom [20:13] Hmm... [20:14] Lynet: I would use radeon myself, and did do prior to updating to gutsy then hardy (still waiting for my intrepid cd as my disk drive is broke!).. thanks for your help anyway [20:14] hi [20:14] Brucee: you could see if that user account is restricted. [20:14] Whats up guys? [20:14] not to use ssh [20:14] hello robtp?? [20:14] is it possible to have spell checking for 2 languages simultaneously? is not, how to switch from the default language to another? [20:14] i increase my ubuntu 8.04, but with the new 8.10 i have many problems. can i return at 8.04? [20:14] where can i see that? blue_mushroom [20:14] jin_: set it in the keyboard configuration. [20:14] Lynet: I hope they don't dumb-down ubuntu anymore and change names of apps for n00bs etc (totem -> movie player etc!!! ) [20:14] Brucee: not really sure... [20:15] but [20:15] i cannot see my nm-applet icon [20:15] is konqueror a good web browser? firefox keeps going grey on me!? [20:15] Followed the UbuntuStudioPreparation guide so I could get some basic music-making functionality on my laptop.. however when I use anything with jack, I get a ton of xruns and the sound is horrible and crackly. Doesn't happen when I run the software on its own. I'm pretty sure linux-rt etc is installed properly. [20:15] i installed ltsp and created a client-config, but the client cannot find the nfs it seems, probably the dhcp option root-path should point to the nfs export [20:15] Brucee: you could try to do this in a console [20:15] No sound at all, using an NVidia Card on Ubuntu 8.04 [20:15] Brucee: groups [20:15] groups [20:15] groups [20:15] no one that can help with keyboard problems, that the ubuntu upgrade broke? [20:15] vixus, try #ubuntustudio [20:15] but doesn't seem to work [20:15] where can I find libbluetooth2? [20:15] I am trying to update my radeon card, and I have found that I should add radeon into the section device. But where exactly? [20:15] Maybe somebody can help me, I know this is Ubuntu chat, but it does have somewhat of an Ubuntu topic. I have an Intel based Apple iMac running Mac OS X Leopard. I've been trying to boot from a CD for a while, but it chooses not to. None of the boot commands will work. I think it is probably because I have a wireless keyboard. [20:15] and see if they are the same Brucee [20:15] ompaul, cheers [20:15] ok blue_mushroom thanks [20:16] how can i get compiz config for ibex? [20:16] Brucee: if not sudo that command. [20:16] blahblahx: +1 [20:16] Brucee: sudo groups [20:16] ASTURIAS, nvidia integrated sound card? [20:16] O134M4: It is sort of the price of making things integrated and automated for the desktop folks. It frustrates me some times too. [20:16] hey. just installed 8.10 on a new box. my usb wireless realtek device is not working. lsusb lists it as a 0bda:8187 Realteck blabla RTL8187 Wireless Adapter. Ubuntu does load the rtl8187 driver, but it is unable to find a wireless network, even though there are plenty around. (verified on other machines & iphone). I read somewhere that 2.6.27 is supposed to have full support for this device. Does anybody have a suggestion on a st [20:16] blue_mushroom, but my keybaord is standard us keyboard. [20:16] ljuwaidah: but its out! [20:16] vixus: ALSA ? [20:16] ASTURIAS, yeah [20:16] vixus: Yes [20:17] jin_: no problems the other keys are mapped as older ones. [20:17] CMD_L1N3: sorry [20:17] ASTURIAS, what model number? [20:17] did you get it? [20:17] jin_: they might not correspond when using other pieces. [20:17] (languages) [20:17] robtp: no luck [20:17] have just installed ubuntu 8.10,i did wrong entry in swap file, total ram 2gb for swap i have entered 2048 ,should be 4096 is there any way to ammend swap now [20:17] robtp: my nm-applet is already running [20:17] blahblahx: I meant "I need to know that too" "I support you" "add 1 to the list of people that want that question answered" [20:17] vixus: How I check that? [20:17] hey my system broke and the only disc that worked for me was ubntun 5.10 how do i burn .iso [20:17] CMD_L1N3: reload your wireless driver [20:17] ljuwaidah: ohhhh [20:17] troglobyte: hmm, sounds strange, I do not really have a clue, could you perhaps try to connect to a different server? [20:17] lol [20:17] robtp: how do you do that [20:17] CMD_L1N3: what hardware are you on? [20:17] ASTURIAS, lspci, look for the sound card line [20:17] ljuwaidah: i thought you meant go to the ubuntu +1 channel [20:18] hahahah [20:18] robtp: wireless hardware you mean? [20:18] i cant find any package for it [20:18] CMD_L1N3: yeah [20:18] Excuse me, anybody using a notebook with Intel's X3100 graphics chip? [20:18] blahblahx: and I was wondering what you meant by "but it's out already" lol [20:18] CMD_L1N3: System > Admin > Hardware Drivers [20:18] Does anyone use laptops here, and have problems with key combinations? [20:18] hey my system broke and the only disc that worked for me was ubntun 5.10 how do i burn .iso [20:18] CMD_L1N3: (I think, not on Ubuntu now) [20:18] ferronica: why? 2gb swap are fine enough imho. but you can add more partitions at any time, if you dont have a free space on your disk, you need to resize partitions [20:18] vixus: It saysb NVidia corporation unknown 0774 Under Audio Device [20:19] blue_mushroom: i have keyboard prblems on the desktop. cursor up makes a screenshot..!! [20:19] I am having trouble with Wine, world of warcraft and xfi to play nice together. Any resources i can try to fix this issue? I just have no sound in wow but if i watch videos say on youtube i am fine [20:19] Aff... I deleted my torrents files (still downloading) from Transmission. How can I put it back there? [20:19] robtp: no on there but i believe my wireless card is iw3945 [20:19] how can i install the compiz settings manager in intrepid ibex ? [20:19] anyone? [20:20] blahblahx: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager === Jordan_ is now known as Jordan [20:20] cliechti: Hmm, do you get input losses, like letter losses whe you type? [20:20] ASTURIAS, unknown.. hmm. Are you on a laptop? [20:20] vixus: Yes [20:20] lianimator: pretty sure that doesnt work in ibedx [20:20] CMD_L1N3: sorry again, death of internet [20:20] blue_mushroom: nope. [20:20] ASTURIAS, What make/model? [20:20] JulioNeto: get the torrent files back then download to the same location [20:20] mike_: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BurningIsoHowto [20:20] hi every body [20:20] vixus: Acer Aspire 4530 [20:20] robtp: nothing in that menu but i believe my card is iw3945 [20:20] lianimator: oh yeah it does nevermind [20:20] blahblahx: worked for me [20:21] ljuwaidah: found out how [20:21] blahblahx: how? [20:21] ljuwaidah: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [20:21] can someone running gnome please give me a dump of /usr/share/applications/nautilus-folder-handler.desktop [20:21] robtp: wait. iw4965 [20:21] blahblahx: thanks [20:21] CMD_L1N3: hmmm [20:21] cliechti: you might try to see if CTRL ALT SHIFT WIN keys are stuck or something... [20:21] lianimator, tks :D [20:21] CMD_L1N3: try sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [20:21] hi peyman [20:22] already did [20:22] jin_: Which application are you using? [20:22] CMD_L1N3: i'm not too sure, but it sorta went away for me [20:22] Press all those keys to see if they reset cliechti [20:22] I kinda understand why kubuntu dropped 3.5x for Intrepid but when kde4 isn't stable enough for Debian Sid... I used a thirdparty to install 3.5 so I can actually work... Just a minor Grr to a smooth upgrade [20:22] robtp: and NetworkManager [20:22] lanoxx: On it [20:22] ASTURIAS, have you got the commercial nvidia drivers running? [20:22] cliechti swap should be always double of RAM [20:22] robtp: well. it works i just can't see that it does. so maybe it will end up fixing itself [20:22] !info libqt4-dev [20:22] CMD_L1N3: yeah, exactly, good luck [20:22] libqt4-dev (source: qt4-x11): Qt 4 development files. In component main, is optional. Version 4.4.3-0ubuntu1 (intrepid), package size 5571 kB, installed size 26988 kB [20:22] today me and mr.box visited dark cave site [20:23] I'll give kde4 a shot when it hits 4.2.3 [20:23] robtp: thanks [20:23] and maybe we can hack that [20:23] I'm having a little trouble configuring my wireless under intrepid, can anyone lend a hand? [20:23] vixus: I just used Envy-NG for the Graphics but for the sound I just reinstalled ASUS drivers [20:23] ferronica: i dont think so. swap at the size of RAM makes sense for hilbernate. but i myself dont want to have 4GB swap in use. if it started to use that mauch swap, your computer gets dead slow [20:23] why do I not have a applications>system tools>configuration editor ? [20:23] ASTURIAS, and basically no sound is working? on any app? [20:23] peyman tonight i waiting for your call and need to yours codes [20:23] cliechti: you might have tried that before... restarting the X server doesn't change a thing? [20:24] vixus: nothing at all [20:24] ASTURIAS, have you killed pulseaudio? [20:24] GIVE ME CODES [20:24] vixus: haven't tried that [20:24] blue_mushroom: tried that. and it did not help. i logged out and in. the keys work at GDM and console, but not anymore after login [20:24] goodbye [20:24] ASTURIAS, `killall pulseaudio` and try playing sound [20:24] Pulseaudio is very alpha in my experence [20:24] vixus: Ok, let me check that now... [20:25] cliechti: look at the keyboard preferences. it might be set to a weird language or scheme. [20:25] I've checked /etc/network/interfaces, and the wireless should be working, but its not [20:25] for soem reason my Broadcom 802.11g Network Adapterwas working great, and now it suddenly wont allow me to network wirlesly, only wired, any ideas? [20:25] i don't hear voice in songbird [20:25] cliechti: but as rule swap should be double of RAM right ??? [20:25] does anyone know why there's no libselinux1-dbg package in intrepid? [20:25] cliechti: how much RAM you have? [20:25] how would I search for a missing applications>system tools>configuration editor ? would I use the keyword "missing"? or what? [20:25] ferronica: I thought it was the ram quantum. [20:26] why doesn't networkmanager save my settings across a reboot? [20:26] ferronica: Thats the old rule of thumb... I tend to use the same amount of swap as RAM with more than one gig of memory [20:26] ferronica: automatically it made 1 GB and 1GB Ram [20:26] ljuwaidah, got it? [20:26] i have to reconfigure it every time i turn my computer on [20:26] how do I remove a flash plugin? [20:26] vixus: No, I can't hear anything... [20:26] lanoxx: http://pastebin.com/d73bf0aba [20:26] thx [20:26] :) [20:26] n00b2ubuntu: Why would you want to do that? [20:26] ferronica: i know, it dates back from the times where 256MB RAM where much.. i personlly dont like when my PC with 2GB RAM starts using swap as its getting slow. i just have it for hibernate [20:27] ASTURIAS, i gotta go for now.. back later. i never had problems with my graphics card except with pulseaudio. my problems are with jack. sorry : ( [20:27] ASTURIAS: you've killed pulseaudio, open a term and type "alsamixer" [20:27] ljuwaidah: the one I attempted to install does not have any audio [20:27] for some reason my Broadcom 802.11g Network Adapter was working great, and now it suddenly wont allow me to network wirlesly, only wired, any ideas? [20:27] Does anyone know what am i supposed to do with this? I cant click or select anything : http://infernofiles.com/upload/uploads/9a583ee8d83500fdc6ccab25eaeca873.png [20:27] vixus: ok [20:27] cliechti: ok , how much RAM you got? [20:27] Bsims: Ok, let me check that. [20:27] n00b2ubuntu: which one did you install? [20:28] TechN9ne, have you checked the file /etc/network/interfaces ? [20:28] is there an easy way to install de xfi drivers to 8.10? [20:28] ferronica: 2GB and 3GB swap [20:28] Every so often a bunch of functions of ubuntu simultaneously break. The panels freeze up so I have to switch windows with alt + tab. Terminal freezes, so I can't run anything with that. Sound stops working for both local mp3 and online streaming video or audio. When I open Amarok after the sound stops working it tells me xine couldn't find audio drivers. Does anyone know what's going on? [20:28] Bsims: Ok, alsamixer is open, everything is up to 100% but I see "00" in a green box... [20:29] ASTURIAS: what does it show for soundcard info, upper left hand corner [20:29] Bsims: It says "HDA NVidia" [20:29] anyone know what the system bog down to the point of non-usability and heavy drive usage is all about after doing an upgrade to ibex? seems to be ok now that I've forced reboot twice? [20:29] every time my desktop comes out of suspend mode my wired network connection will never resume. have to restart to get network connection. restarting networking /etc/init.d/networking restart/force-reload do nothing. version 8.10. kernel 2.6.27-4-generic [20:29] cliechti: i have 2GB and 2GB swap is it right?? [20:29] TechN9ne1730, have you tried sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces ? [20:29] Hrm so it sees it [20:30] godfatheroferie, no i cant even get into OS because it says volumen ot mounted [20:30] what's vlc?

I searched for "mouse" and found nothing with this. I want to turn off acceleration and turn up speed. [20:30] Odd [20:30] hello sinan [20:30] lianimator: ok. i was wondering if it was just a video/dvd player or if it did music too. [20:30] ASTURIAS: dumb question but whats your speakers or headset set to [20:31] snova_ it plays music too [20:31] snova_: it plays everything [20:31] ferronica: i guess that is fine. actually if you dont plan to use hibernate, you could also turn off swap. 2GB is enough memory for most applications (unless you plan to render 40megapixel panorama images) :-) [20:31] hi, my keyboard doesn't work properly. It's a german layout. The letter key are okay, but key like (arrow up) (print) (delete) don't. I think this problem existed in hardy. can anybody help? === snova_ is now known as snova [20:31] Bsims: Headphones does not have a bar just "00" [20:31] distant_voice: go into preferences for the keyboard and set the correct layout? [20:31] this one webpage says that it's in the configuration editor, but I can't find it. why is this such an advanced feature? [20:31] distant_voice: there you are.. i have the same problem here [20:31] ljuwaidah: I believe it's flash10, but I'm hoping flash 9 will work with audio [20:32] Every so often a bunch of functions of ubuntu simultaneously break.

Hrm dunno sorry [20:34] I did. I'm trying to find mouse speed settings separate from mouse acceleration settings, and I found a website that says its in the systems configuration editor, but I can't find anything.

[20:39] mike_: there should be a burning application installed by default [20:39] they should throw kde4 out the window [20:39] flannel it doesnt burn iso [20:39] i like to make my own decision on my user experience [20:39] is libtool broken in ubuntu then ? [20:39] olskolirc: i like it... [20:40] newcomer: here's an example, just check out a specific mirror's page: http://ubuntu.media.mit.edu/ubuntu-releases/8.10/ [20:40] who do these ppl think they are choosing what color we will be stuck with I cant even edit my own damn panel [20:40] salsaman: there have been complaints that libtool isn't working right. try using an older version. [20:40] I cant add applications to my panel [20:40] there were no results for "acceleration" in configuration editor. [20:40] I cant hide panel [20:40] for some reason my Broadcom 802.11g Network Adapter was working great, and now it suddenly wont allow me to network wirlesly, only wired, any ideas?

[20:41] rdw200169, ubuntu-8.10-mid-lpia.img ? [20:41] I recently installed Ibex on a computer with an nvidia graphics card and dual-monitor setup. I installed it via the netboot method, and am greeted by graphical errors which turns to a white/blank screen (I can't log in via the GUI). Is there an easy way to fix this? [20:41] mike_: it should. But you can use http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ for a repository [20:41] i can use kde3 on Intrepid snova ?

[20:42] paul68: But, I'm not really the one to talk to regarding audio stuff [20:42] im asking snova [20:42] olskolirc: you can but its a pain to install, and it removes 4.1 [20:42] ok [20:42] anyone, after an automatic update i cant connect to the internet now [20:42] Flannel: ok no problem [20:42] olskolirc: rats! you're right, only kde4 programs are there. try searching on 'kwrite [20:42] olskolirc: you'll only get results for the kde4 version. [20:43] kevin1, i have a similar issue [20:43] Anyone know how to solve the problem when vinagre says "Connection to host ?????:5900 was closed" ? [20:43] olskolirc: oh well. at least the libs are still there for programs that haven't been ported yet. [20:43] Is there a way to install the creative labs XFi card in ubuntu 8.10? [20:43] ciao a tutti [20:43] In the course of the upgrade from 8.01.1 to 8.10 most programs seem to have been removed. Any ideas on how to get them back?

Now, in gnome, when I go to keyboard Shortcuts, it doesn't let me change them [20:43] olskolirc: I don't think you can on 4.1... [20:44] loca|host: Make sure you're fully up to date in Hardy. And in the future, it'd be nice if you used a normal pastebin, not one that requires scripting. [20:44] ok [20:44] Or at least I couldnt find out how [20:44] uh huh. OK. :) [20:44] rdw200169, there's also this http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ [20:44] DefineByte: What are some of the ones that have been removed?

I'm helpless! [20:45] ask, for some reason my Broadcom 802.11g Network Adapter was working great, and now it suddenly wont allow me to network wirlesly, only wired, any ideas? [20:45] X is still installed thankfully. :) [20:45] mike_: You want to burn the data when burning an iso. You don't want the CD to have an iso file on it, you want the contents.

[21:36] I'd like ls, for example, to print directories in a different color than files. [21:36] Or links. [21:36] And the prompt should be different colors too. [21:37] Ubuntu 8.10 on Acer3050 laptop: Can't get past the "Checking battery state..." stage, tried acpi=off, noacpi and noapic...can't seem to get it to boot past that. Any tips would be welcome. [21:37] jrib: But maybe you just gave me an idea how to get a working xorg.conf in the liveCD. :D [21:37] MindVirus: You just need to turn colors on in your bashrc for the first one. The second, you'll need to set a custom prompt [21:37] MnemonicPunk: didn't you say you were on a 8.04 live cd now? [21:37] anyone know of a mirror with ISOs and a non-broken RSYNC server? [21:37] Flannel, how do I do that? [21:37] anyone use banshee? [21:37] jrib: i found icedtea on Add/Remove apps. It doesn't say which version it is. Should I assume is 6? [21:37] hello [21:37] The first? [21:37] jrib: I have 8.10 live and 8.04 live, yes. I'm on the 8.04 right now. [21:37] can you backup/forward email from hotmail with evolution? [21:38] Flannel, I have no .bashrc in ~. [21:38] does anyone know of an ASP.Net solution I can run on Ubuntu? [21:38] andresmh: probably [21:38] where can I find libbluetooth2? [21:38] I hate that word "solution" ... it is soooo abused [21:38] hendrik I guess under System -> Admin -> Language Support :) [21:38] how do i mount a drive so i can read utf8 filenames properly [21:38] jrib: But I just remembered that even the liveCD has a .conf. :D I'll try putting that on my FTP and wgetting it from the 8.10 xD [21:38] But don't ask me how its called in Estonia hendrik ;) [21:38] stickyicky, what kind of drive? [21:38] !hotmail | hblount [21:38] hblount: If you need to use an MSN Hotmail account, consider packages such as "hotway" and "hostsmtp", which are gateways respectively to the !POP and !SMTP protocols (also supporting Lycos and Spray) [21:39] emmeffgeh: sata hard drive [21:39] MnemonicPunk: so I assumed you had upgraded to 8.10? So then you could use the 8.04 live cd to edit the xorg.conf of your install (I'm guessing not even ctrl-alt-f1 work) [21:39] hey, there is any program to burn a movie with the subtitles? [21:39] when i try burning an iso with either k3b or nautilus i get a "failed optimum power calibration" or write speed related error respectively. does anyone know what i should do? [21:39] does anyone know what happened to the gnome-font-viewer application in Intrepid? Or know where I can find it or an alternative to it? [21:39] abchirk: nop, tried that like 10 times, it doesent change . nvm. Okay i find Synaptic, how i manage to install the wine with that, is there any tutorial ors ?! [21:39] stickyicky, what file system? fat? [21:39] anyone? [21:39] fallore: clean the laser lens [21:39] files i created in windows that have extended chars and copy to to ubuntu/ext3 show up as garbage in the shell. [21:40] jrib: Nope, I can neither install 8.04 (I/O error, no idea why. The CD was kept secure.) and 8.10 (no keyboard/mouse) [21:40] hey all [21:40] hendrik update softwarelist with the refresh button... and then search for wine. Thats it. [21:40] hendrik: you've been given this link a number of times: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine [21:40] but still legit on windows via samba [21:40] stickyicky, for fat, try "-o utf8" [21:40] jrib: And I currently have NO installed Ubuntu. =( [21:40] Skapare: how do i do that? [21:40] fallore: CD or DVD? [21:40] Skapare: CD [21:40] Should i use the Virtualbox that's in the Ubuntu 8.10 repos? Or? [21:40] emmeffgeh: the hard drive is ext3 [21:40] I am having some major issues with 8.10.. [21:40] MnemonicPunk: run 'check cd for defects' [21:40] anyone? [21:40] fallore: very very carefully ... is the drive capable of doing DVDs? [21:40] how to I install flash for firefox [21:40] Skapare: i'm not sure [21:41] MnemonicPunk: I guess you could also install using the 8.10 alternate cd [21:41] fallore: never burned or played a DVD in it? [21:41] x-server wont load. I get an error saying that there are no screens detected, and that it cannot connect to x-server... any ideas? [21:41] Skapare: i think i've played a dvd in it. [21:41] aaron visit a flashsite and then click install flashplugin [21:41] aaron: enable the repository for it and install it in the package manager [21:41] stickyicky, you wanna mount a file system served by a windows machine? [21:41] Skapare: yeah definitely capable of reading DVDs [21:41] aaron: I think the repository is multiverse [21:41] jrib: You don't think the idea of downloading my 8.04 xorg.conf into the 8.10 will work? =( [21:41] fallore: get a blank DVD and try burning that CD ISO onto the DVD instead ... if it can boot a CD it can boot a DVD with the same image [21:42] hello ladies and gentlemen [21:42] aaron: in terminal sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [21:42] MnemonicPunk: sure, that might work. But how will you do that? Can you get your keyboard to work somewhere? [21:42] i just updated to 8.10 and im having the strangest error [21:42] HI, im wanting to install Virtualbox (since i cant seem to compile vmware with 8.10 :/ ) but do I get virtualbox from the repos or where? [21:42] also, what is a good text based webbrowser? [21:42] web browser* [21:42] unr3a1: links2 [21:42] ty [21:42] i can hear music on websites and the likes but rythmbox, banshee, amarok wont play audio [21:42] jrib: The keyboard ONLY refuses to work under X. It works when I switch to another tty. [21:42] unr3a1: depends on the level you want to access with ... I've used telnet before [21:42] anyone have any idea? [21:43] so does anyone know why x-server would give me an error saying that it cannot detect any screens? [21:43] daft question, what does the nonfree in flashplugin-nonfree mean, if its in the repository, isnt it free to use? [21:43] i want to install ubuntu to a partition with existing files. i get a warning that says directories containing system files will be deleted. is there a way to see what exactly will be deleted? will the installer ask before anything is deleted? if not, can i make it? [21:43] MnemonicPunk: ah. Okay, then that gives you more options. What you said is worth a try [21:43] hey guys!!! =D [21:43] How are things going? [21:43] OK, NOW this is getting ridiculout [21:43] ok I have done the apt-get and still no flash showing up [21:43] MnemonicPunk: didn't upgrading work? [21:43] I restarted too :( [21:43] LF|Irssi: The package name is in virtualbox-ose - it's in universe [21:43] pfff [21:43] this channel is always a mess :P [21:43] I'm on Ubuntu 8.10 32bit and my toshiba laptop cannot find the mac airport express wireless signal. Any ideas? I have my drivers for my wireless card installed [21:43] Now my network manager is intermittently spazzing and disconnecting [21:43] ay^: You know, I seem to have a Murphy's Law Installing day. [21:43] Neodemi: free vs Free. flash plugin is in multiverse, because its not FOSS, but it is free (gratis) [21:43] aaron: what version of ubuntu? [21:44] I think #ubuntu should diversificate into different channels dealing with different topics [21:44] 8.10 sucks, more problems out of the box than with 8.04. [21:44] MnemonicPunk: hehe, I hate those [21:44] intrepid [21:44] fallore: either you have a slightly dirty laser lens or your black CDs are junk [21:44] ecto... that depends [21:44] dont judge a book by its cover, ecto [21:44] qbmaniac: It won't be a good thing, feel free to discuss it in #ubuntu-offtopic if you'd like to continue. [21:44] ay^: While your idea was quite good, it effectively ripped all my bootloader to shreds. =( [21:44] ah, thanks Flannel i get it now [21:44] qbmaniac, there are other specilized channels, one for compiz, and one for the server, and proberly a few others.

[21:44] MnemonicPunk: erh yeah that sucks [21:44] I see dr_willis [21:44] ay^: (my 8.04 LiveCD somehow screwed it's installation up.) [21:44] thanks for the info [21:45] smokeymirror: do other apps have sound? Did you ever have sound? What version of ubuntu? [21:45] smokeymirror: have you checked your audio drivers?

[21:45] aaron: pastebin the output of: apt-cache policy flashplugin-nonfree [21:45] why does rythmbox prevent anything else from using the soundcard when its running (ie no audio alerts from other programs etc) [21:45] what good 3d egoshooter is thar for linux [21:45] !games | linuxnoop [21:46] linuxnoop: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php [21:46] Hi, I am having a problem with the installer. The partitioner is telling me that it has problems informing the kernel about the modifications. http://rafb.net/p/5Srpgm86.html can anyone help? [21:46] Neodemi, it doesnt? [21:46] I'm on Ubuntu 8.10 32bit and my toshiba laptop cannot find the mac airport express wireless signal. Any ideas? I have my drivers for my wireless card installed [21:46] well, thank you, jrib. for the info on the text browser... looks like I am gonna be in text mode for a while. [21:46] depends on your soundcard I guess [21:46] I jumped on the Intrepid wagon and now VLC doesn't show video [21:46] jrib: is it on apt-get? [21:46] plays AVI files like mp3 [21:46] :S\ [21:46] unr3a1: yep [21:46] I have rythmbox and usual audio, maybe even flash audio at the same time [21:46] !jrib how do I do that?

[21:46] qbmaniac, i dont get sound from other programs when im running rhythmbox [21:46] Azhi_Dahaka, vlc plays videos here fine. [21:46] * qbmaniac slaps ubottu [21:46] i have a new hp laptop [21:46] Neodemi, config problem? [21:47] incorrect sound card drivers? [21:47] with the wireless card that wasnt recognized last version [21:47] Question: are there still known issues with the fglrx video driver under intrepid? [21:47] I mean where is apt cash [21:47] it works now [21:47] but rythmbox doesn't play any sound [21:47] bimberi: theres a few softwares that ive installed via synaptic that were better off installing with manual installation, Opera is one good example, the one in the synaptic is out dated. :) [21:47] There is any program to burn a movie with the subtitles? [21:47] smokeymirror: Try and find drivers for your particular sound card [21:47] Ddorda: hardcoded? [21:47] aaron: if you want me to see what you write, please prefix what you say with "jrib: ". Open a Terminal and then type the command [21:47] ill go look around [21:47] brb [21:47] Alright, I'm gonna try again. Wish me luck. :D [21:48] Could I get some networking help here? [21:48] LF|Irssi: OK, I guess that's fair. Installing the ubuntu packages is safer but not always up to date :) [21:48] Ddorda: avidemux + filter [21:48] Ddorda, mencoder can reencode a video and put the subs in the video.. i recall. you could then burn that. [21:48] !jrib is this how [21:48] LF|Irssi: Opera has their own repo for up to date ones. You should always use packages when you have the ability to. [21:48] aaron: no need for the ! in the beginning [21:48] bimberi: 99.8% of the time I use synaptic :) [21:48] aaron: What you can do is type "jri" then hit [21:48] jrib, ok I think I got it [21:48] abchirk: okay, i cant handle it, too hard for mee, ill think im gonna quit and go back to windows xD. [21:49] whats the best way to share my HP printer on my ibex server, its headless so i have to do all cli config, cups still the way to go? [21:49] aaron: thanks. Now you can go to Accessories -> Terminal, type "apt-cache policy flashplugin-nonfree" without quotes, and pastebin the output [21:49] hendrik noo. :P did you install wine now? [21:49] What package do I need to enable S3 sleep mode and Hibenation (s4 I believe) ? [21:49] billybigrigger, cups is the printing service.. :) so its basicially the only way to go.. combo of cups+samba will be needed most likely [21:49] Abchirk, sorry bout that, my network failed as I went to send the message [21:49] But now I have another problem [21:49] I just used Opera's .deb file that's on Opera's download site Flannel :) [21:49] abchirk: I could never get Wine to work right for some reason. Ah vell, I have an XP box for my games. [21:50] didnt know they had a repo [21:50] abchirk> i cant, Install the wine package.

[21:53] i dont know *how* this happened but on my laptop i have: unison version 2.27.57, but on desktop i have: unison version 2.13.16.... although both computers are running ubuntu hardy. on desktop i did sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install unison; but got message: unison is already the newest version. ... ideas? [21:53] jrib, yes [21:53] ldiamond_ the key is to get that program to write your x.conf files. [21:53] abchirk: oh, im gonna get it, found a page :D [21:53] hey guys...

[21:53] dr_willis, how do i do that? [21:53] Jesus H Christ, I'm about done fucking with this wireless shit. [21:53] Sken, use Amarok, banshee, or Gnomad2 [21:53] any suggestion [21:54] hendrik normally you have to update the package list.. and then search for a packacge like wine [21:54] can't install Intrepid because the installation doesn't recognize any of my partitions [21:54] arooni-mobile: I think you can run do-release-upgrade --help for a list, and go from there. [21:54] favro, there is not kcontrol package at all ... only systemsettings ( koala_man ) ... and system settings is just an empty window [21:54] anyone? [21:54] raonid: did you read the release notes about that? [21:54] Sken, one of those should work [21:54] dr_willis, can you show me an example or something? [21:54] jesus says stop hire a professiional === Minty95_ is now known as minty95 [21:54] abchirk: oh, package list, the synaptic ?

[21:55] then cross your fingers and hope for the best. [21:55] jrib: any link? [21:55] could I be having problems with x-server because I did an upgrade instead of a clean install?

Or know where I can find it or an alternative to it? [21:59] hendrik I don't know. Add a software source in synaptic. maybe you deleted it? [21:59] the-erm: yep, tried that. these speakers worked yesterday when i had vista [21:59] aaron: Do you know anything about why you have firefox installed in /opt? [21:59] ComradeMikhail: thanks [21:59] hm [22:00] jrib, I think I may have installed it manually when firefox 3 came out and then upgrade to 8.04 and now 8.10 [22:00] the-erm: and the speakers work, i just have to turn them up mroe than i normally would [22:00] for some reason my Broadcom 802.11g Network Adapter was working great, and now it suddenly wont allow me to network wirlesly, only wired, any ideas? I believe it is tied to an auto update [22:00] jrib, that was a while ago === bruenig is now known as hmmmasdf [22:00] jrib, can I get it out and just ued the apt-get version [22:00] aaron: that's the reason your flash is not working. You aren't using the package manager's firefox [22:00] abchirk: no, i didnt, but eaven if i did, how can i get it back , or mabey i have old version ubuntu === hmmmasdf is now known as lolhmmme [22:00] aaron: try reinstalling firefox [22:00] ComradeMikhail: you have you tried a different program like mplayer from the command line to see if it works? [22:00] jrib, that makes sense [22:00] Hey guys. Can you drag a file on top of a file like in a legacy OS and script actions? [22:00] the-erm: will do right now [22:00] jrib, I tried but it does not seem to pick it up [22:00] another question: How do i conver WMA into MP3? [22:00] aaron: in particular, the firefox-3.0 package === lolhmmme is now known as bruenig [22:01] jrib, how can I get rid of the one in opt [22:01] aaron: let's get the apt one working first so we make sure you have a browser :) [22:01] TechN9ne1730: Check your drives on shell with lsmod, check ps -ax for a wireless daemon.. check apt for wireless package.. [22:01] hi, im trying to put a stripped down version of ubuntu, on my thin client (Evo T20). I flashed it with grub, and an ubuntu kernel+ramdisk, and this grub config: http://paste.ubuntu.com/65905/ . It tries to use my USB (/dev/sda1) as root filesystem. But when it boots it gives me: run-init: /sbin/init: No such file or directory. [22:02] ComradeMikhail: it could be something as simple as the program you're using is trying to use arts, alsa, etc mplayer has been pretty good at figuring it out automatically for me. [22:02] * Adyeths bangs his head against his desk repeatedly. [22:02] Hi there, when trying to update to 8.10 via Update manager i get this error . "Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/b/base-files/base-files_4.0.4ubuntu2.1_i386.deb 404 Not Found" [22:02] jrib, ok I have installed it again [22:02] mallochigh, how do i do that? [22:02] I'm confused, which java should I install on ubuntu? [22:02] jrib, how do I run it [22:02] hendrik https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu [22:02] aaron: ls -l /usr/bin/firefox returns what now? [22:02] Is it possible to program something in python to do actions to the file being dragged on top? [22:02] ok thanks [22:02] *sigh* where can I find libbluetooth2? [22:02] Like on windows how you can drag a file on top of a batch and do actions. [22:02] jrib, lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 2008-06-18 17:33 /usr/bin/firefox -> /opt/firefox/firefox [22:03] I wanna play with a VM what's a good program for that? [22:03] TechN9ne1730: open up a terminal, ssh root@localhost passwd, or use sudo, su to perform root command. or hit ctrl-alt-f1 that give you a login shell, and then put in root/pw [22:03] aaron: ok. Try running 'firefox-3.0' [22:03] I want to use different wallpapers in intrepid with the compiz wallpaper-plugin but nautilus still draws it background on top of it, can I solve this without losing desktop icons (nautilus --no-desktop) [22:03] !info libbluetooth2 | ljuwaidah [22:03] ljuwaidah: Package libbluetooth2 does not exist in intrepid [22:03] the-erm: instlaling mplayer now, but for the record, this is a Dell Studio 15 laptop with the internal HDA soudn card i'm using. one jack doesn't even work [22:03] abchirk: bash: /etc/apt/sources.list: Permission denied [22:03] ?! [22:03] ljuwaidah: uhm, sorry but it's available on my system. for some reason. [22:03] hahah [22:04] maybe you added some repo or something? [22:04] * mallochigh is playing 'will it boot' [22:04] jrib, this is what I see on you tube Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player. [22:04] ComradeMikhail: are you using ubuntu or k/x/edubuntu? [22:04] PassionFRUI7E: one way to do that would be to create a launcher (you can see how the ones you already have have the %u in them), then when you drag stuff on the launcher it replaces %u with the uri of the file you dragged [22:04] hendrik you have to do it with sudo ... but make a backup from the file before you're editing anything. :P [22:04] the-erm: ubuntu [22:04] ljuwaidah: *shrug* no, i's from Hardy's main apt-cache tells me [22:04] the-erm: 8.10, just installed yesterday [22:04] MaT-dg: no, there is currently no way to make nautilus draw a transparent background (so that the compiz wallpaper would show through it) [22:04] aaron: visit http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ and click on the yellow bar at the top [22:04] jrib: Thank you. [22:04] abchirk: whats sudo ? [22:04] So I just installed Ibex Intrepid and now my linux is hosed. [22:04] Ah [22:04] !sudo [22:04] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesu (KDE) [22:05] ljuwaidah: i see, it's in hardy but not intrepid [22:05] jrib, it points me to manual install [22:05] ljuwaidah: there's probably a reason why it's been pulled - i guess - but i wouldn't know what it is [22:05] lol, hosed [22:05] join the line [22:05] I installed intrepid, rebooted, and now all I get is a black screen instead of gnome display manager's login screen [22:05] the-erm: nope, mplayer offers the same volume.. i can hear it.. it's just quiet [22:05] aaron: there's no yellow bar at the top of firefox? [22:05] crdlb, I thought that was solved now and that's why they included the plugin [22:05] mallochigh, now what? [22:05] and i have to keep it turned up abnormally loud to hear it at a volume i woujldn't normally have to have it too loud for [22:06] LjL: I need it to install blueman :( [22:06] jrib, there is and it does not run through automatic update [22:06] hi. i am having trouble installing thunderbird. i downloaded the tar.gz file and extracted it, but i cant seem to install it. i dont see a setup file, and there are a few executables, and i try to click them and nothing happens. any idea whats wrong? [22:06] wow wait to boot, waits 5 minutes, then boots.. some wierd shit.. [22:06] Hi there, when trying to update to 8.10 via Update manager i get this error . "Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/b/base-files/base-files_4.0.4ubuntu2.1_i386.deb 404 Not Found" - the files does not exist - any ideas on how I can complete my update? [22:06] Hey, quick question. I upgraded to 8.10 from 8.04, and now it thinks I have 512mb of ram, rather than the 1024 I have (and had under 8.04). Any clues what I can do to fix this? [22:06] hi, if you safe preferences when using a live CD is it saved? [22:06] !??!?! [22:06] aaron: what do you mean by "it does not run through automatic update"? [22:06] this install taught me to place home on a second partition [22:06] LjL: ljuwaidah: because it's libbluetooth3 now? :) [22:06] or is that life CD btw? [22:06] Gorthax, me too [22:06] well, i already had home on a second partition [22:06] ComradeMikhail: oh ok. I thought the problem was you can't hear anything. It's hard to put into words what the problem is. [22:06] jrib, it does not find it automatically...it points me to download manually and install [22:06] i now have a good 2 months of tweaking again [22:07] sad but true [22:07] i am using xchat. how do you show a window that has the people in the channel? [22:07] on a good note, MY sound is working beautifully [22:07] aaron: meh, ok. Let's get rid of your /opt install first then. Close firefox. Run 'sudo apt-get --reinstall install firefox-3.0'. Then tell me what 'ls -l /usr/bin/firefox' returns [22:07] TechN9ne1730: if you don't even know how to get to a shell, I can't help you. You may be able to use the administrator tab to fix it, you may also want to look at your synaptics for a wireless package and reinstall it. [22:07] the-erm: yeah.. no i can hear things.. just the volume is abnormally low. when i use the volume down button on my laptop and it goes down to 95%, it is almost inaudiable. the only way i can hear things is by keepthing that at 100% and using external speakers and have them pretty far up as well [22:07] wireless, took some coercing [22:07] ok, I'm lost [22:07] hblount, view -> userlist [22:08] thrice... i have uninstalled and installed everything called vlc thrice and still no image [22:08] if you tell me I'll update the wiki-page.. what prefs are saved when you use a live CD? [22:08] ComradeMikhail: Somewhere you can set the volume levels, but not with a mixer. I for the life of me can't remember where it was. dmixer comes to mind. You basically need to tell your sound card that ___ is the max volume for your mixer. [22:08] AsthonK: Try "cat /proc/meminfo |grep MemTotal [22:08] mallochigh, you just helped me get into shell and i am now in shell [22:08] oh [22:08] need help setting up ati x1200 anyone around to help? i did the propiatary drivers, but when i run urban terror, or cnc generals through cedega, all i get is lines everywhere [22:08] do iwconfig see if you have a card [22:08] if everything looks good, then thier is nothing wrong low-level.

[22:08] jrib, [22:08] or whatever. [22:09] I'm having video drivers issues (I'm running in low quality graphic mode). Can anyone help me setup Nvidia drivers (or the original drivers, at least they are better than the low graphic mode) [22:09] k thx [22:09] jrib: I did that dpkg command. it only created like a 39kb file. does that just tell ubuntu what apps to download and install from apt-get or something?

[22:09] hblount: Why don't you just use the one in the repositories?

[22:09] Yeah, it's the wrong number, 502.something megabytes. Should I change it to 1024 megs (converted to kilobytes, specifically), or something lower than that? [22:09] unr3a1: it lists the packages that are installed and not installed [22:09] hblount: Try "sudo apt-get install thunderbird" [22:09] what is your card [22:09] ok [22:09] do you know your driver?

[22:10] mallochigh, broadcom [22:10] jrib: what about apps that I have installed via apt-get? [22:10] does anybody know why alsa doesn't support alc888 after updating? [22:10] hblount, Its not like in windows, thats now how you install a program [22:10] mallochigh, broadcom 4401 to be exact [22:10] K, I don't know the driver name, i think its bcrm??? or just bcrm..

Can anyone help me setup Nvidia drivers (or the original drivers, at least they are better than the low graphic mode) [22:11] aaron: meh, ok. Let's get rid of your /opt install first then.

Check in your bios to see if it still sees 1GB or not. [22:11] Your kernel got upgraded or something.. [22:11] dunas, it should list all the machines pci devices [22:11] and also I have no sound with tuxguitar [22:11] Mkay. [22:12] IT could very easyily be listed someplace in administration.. [22:12] I'm just used to shell [22:12] jrib, [22:12] I already Google'd alot but didn't find the solution [22:12] xominous: It saw 1gb before the update, I doubt the upgrade changed my bios.

What does /usr/bin/firefox-3.0 --version tell you? [22:26] hi. i am setting up thunderbird because i read that you can download hotmail stuff with it. i am setting it up right now. when it asks for my email, do i put hotmail one? and what is outgoing server? [22:26] there are some applications which don't sound any more in intrepid ibes... [22:27] like paintown and unreal 2004 [22:27] my intrepid install failed to setup grub bootloader. is anyone available to help me set it up at hand ? [22:27] I want to rsync my .evolution folder, but the only thing that's visible on my laptop after rsync are the contacts [22:27] kidbuntu: I have almost the same problem.

It's probably something like, imap.hotmail.com or something. But I have no idea. Try a google search for it. [22:28] speakers are giving out low volume [22:28] INTREPID OWNS [22:28] kidbuntu: Nope, that's why I'am asking here - hoping it's a known issue after upgrades from 8.04->8.10 [22:28] I'm a total noob. how do I switch to #samba? [22:29] jrib, when I do apt-get install ffmpeg, how do I know which version it is installing? because I also have Intrepid + medibuntu enabled. [22:29] how do you determine the number of your hard drive for grub? it's the slave hard drive and first partition so I used hd1,0 but it didn't work.. is there a scan tool I can use to get those values? [22:29] CardiacKid: /join #samba [22:29] how* [22:29] Can anyone help me with Video problem? I'm stuck in low graphic mode. I want to use Nvidia drivers or the default drivers (they're better than nothing) [22:29] jin_: apt-cache show ffmpeg [22:29] in a terminal [22:29] N1ghshd: crap if i had known this i would have stayed at 8.04 [22:29] N1ghshd: I get nice volume with headphones, it is the speakers that are really low [22:29] where do I put that? [22:29] jin_: apt-cache policy ffmpeg I don't see ffmpeg in medibuntu for intrepid though [22:29] xominous: is the incoming and outcoming server the same thing then? [22:29] hblount: You can only read hotmail via POP if you have an old account. They stopped the free POP access a few years ago. You can, however, use a scraper which will act as a POP server. Try one of these: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=hotmail&searchon=all&suite=intrepid§ion=all [22:30] CardiacKid: just type it [22:30] ha, thanks [22:30] ldiamond, standard questions you will get asked.. :) what video card, what kind of monitor/connection of monitor, are you using a KVM? :) [22:30] /join #samba [22:30] Why can't the system administrator login from the login screen? [22:30] In the latest Evolution in 8.10, when I go to the Unread folder and click on something in there to read, when it gets marked as unread (autmatically), it gets removed from the Unread folder and the next unread email is displayed, then that gets marked as unread and removed from that folder and 3rd email is displayed, and so and so forth. I just have to click on 1 email in the unread folder and it'll cycle through the whol [22:30] e lot 1 by 1 marking them as unread and removing them and moving onto the next, even if I haven't read it [22:30] kidbuntu: It's 1-way.. but I guess we will have our fix in a few days [22:30] jrib, so how do I get X264 support then? :( [22:30] Hrm what client are you using? [22:30] Nvidia X Server Settings is different from /etc/X11/xorg.conf? [22:30] jin_: rebuild the package yourself I guess [22:30] xchat [22:30] Can anyone help me with Video problem? I'm stuck in low graphic mode. I want to use Nvidia drivers or the default drivers (they're better than nothing). I have a Nvidia Geforce M 8700, on a laptop, so a laptop screen. [22:30] jrib, I really don't want to compile it myself [22:30] Hrm look for chanel listing window somewhere [22:30] I've not used xchat in years [22:30] hblount: Probably not. Did you see anything on the hotmail/ms website? [22:30] How do you get the location of a file dragged on top of a script? [22:31] KumoGone, its a security issue.. Root can not directly login. [22:31] ldiamond: System>Admin>Hardware Drivers? [22:31] ubuntu-8.10-desktop-i386.iso [22:31] So how do I get logged in as root?

For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesu (KDE) [22:31] !root | KumoGone [22:31] KumoGone: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password.

However, if you really need a root shell, use « sudo -i » (other variants of this commands are redundant and/or potentially dangerous) [22:32] kidbuntu: at least, that's what I'am doing now [22:32] Bsim, I figured it out. thanks [22:32] i only know sudo su :D [22:32] In python/bash how do you get the location of a file dragged on top of a script?

Did some googling and it seems that I need to install ivman for that and it is indeed not installed.

[23:05] b_e_n_z: a lot of us on 8.10 have noticed a longer login time. there could be a large number of reasons why this is, but so long as you can login successfully, then it would be prudent to wait to see if updates improve the time. Is the delay for you that bad? [23:05] K_Dallas: oooo thats right! I heard about that and never played with it [23:05] I installed 8.10 but sound doesn't work, May have to go back to xp [23:05] K_Dallas: thanks, I'm gonna go mess with that!

[23:27] photon: you can configure sudo so tahtit doesnt ask for a password at all or just not for one command [23:27] emorris: bizarrely , the chainloading trick didn't work, it complains that the file format is unsupported when trying to chain to the other MBR [23:27] Fr0zen_: I think that's the only way you can install them. :) [23:27] yoyoned: yes, on my router [23:27] jrib, cliechti: thanks [23:27] Something else must be set wrong, or broken. [23:27] emorris: it's strange because I managed to do it work to boot windoz [23:27] i saw the guides for 8.04 [23:27] zigovr: don't chain to an mbr, chain to a partition [23:27] various steps [23:27] and hacks [23:28] you on a dell by any chance?

I haven't been able to print to a Windows shared printer since going to 8.10. The error message is: "Error Printing / Too many failed attempts." Has anyone experienced anything similar? [23:29] Drizzel, no. not if you upgrade [23:29] zigovr: u sure that grub/etc is set up properly in that partition? [23:29] ldiamond2: do you have more than one network interface? [23:29] k thx so much [23:29] Oh well. Time to plod on to the next problem, and return to this later. Gotta exit now. [23:29] Drizzel, although i would backup just in case [23:29] ok good idea [23:29] Sorry we couldn't get this working!

I use NDISwrapper and the windows drivers to get connectivity.

[23:32] snowveil: yeah, through firefox's flash plugin installer [23:32] zigovr: you could try root (hd?,?) configfile /boot/grub/menu.lst [23:32] I haven't had any issues with Opera and flash 10 [23:32] freeze occasionally, but no sound issues [23:32] skype crashes on my laptop when i start the video test (webcam from logitech) .. do anybody have the same prob .. and perhaps a solution ?!?!

[23:36] blue_mushroom, the .deb version will be the easiest to install [23:36] I know that the Ubuntu desktop edition is based upon the Debian unstable branch, but what branch of Debian is the Ubuntu server edition based upon? [23:36] is recompiling the kernel likely to help me fix any networking problems? [23:37] KumoGone: probaly not, unleess you are applyign som new code that is not already in teh stock kernel. [23:37] I'm trying to install the latest Opera, but since the upgrade to Inteprid, the Update manager doesn't seem process the Opera repo any longer. It was unmarked, but I re-enabled it after upgrading. [23:37] Can somebody help me there? [23:37] i can see the broadcom when i type lshw -C network, what is kinda wierd is the "width" says 64 bits is that normal? [23:37] I'm really trying to fix this without having to wipe and reinstall.... [23:37] is there a way to make dist-upgrade silent? so it doesnt prompt for anything and when its done it shuts down? [23:37] ok, i read that, i did use the add/remove and tryed installing sun-java6-bin like that website said but it had dependancies ... what do i do about that? [23:38] emorris, yes, but yours will not show executable paths or status. ;-) I mean, it all depends on what do you need. [23:38] Jammet: did you try a sudo apt-get update first? [23:38] eae [23:38] alvarezp: try [23:38] why does "/etc/init.d/apport restart" not do the same thing as "/etc/init.d/apport stop; /etc/init.d/apport start"? [23:38] Logikos: dependencies are automatically installed by synaptic/apt [23:38] blue_mushroom: really no need to download Flash 10. its in Synaptic. its called adobe-flashplugin [23:38] Is there any way to roll back to 8.04 from 8.10?

[23:38] emorris: No, if that is not done automatically, no. I simply launched the Synaptic Package manager and the normal Ubuntu Add/Remove application and pressed the 'reload' button after re-enabling the Opera repo. [23:39] Logikos: maybe you need to add multiverse? go to System>Admin>Software Sources and check multiverse and universe in the first tab [23:39] KumoGone:you'll prob have to re-install 8.04 [23:39] Can anyone help me? When I boot ubuntu, it gets stuck at Configuring network interfaces during like 5 mins. Its very annoying. [23:39] ... [23:39] I also installed wcid to manage my network connections [23:39] I was afraid of that. [23:39] I'll see if I can't find my Heron disc.... [23:39] Jammet: that should have done it. are you sure you changed 'hardy' to 'intrepid' on the apt line if applicable? [23:40] erUSUL: all of the checkboxes in system>admin>software sources first tab are checked [23:40] other ideas? [23:40] i dont even know where to go to see what dependancies i need? [23:40] Anyone here have any talent with Wine? I'd like to get networking happening on Homeworld2 [23:40] hello all. does anyone know if there is a server manual for 8.10 yet? help.ubuntu.com goes to 8.04 still. [23:40] emorris: The Opera repo has no descriptor for that, it just says "stable" on it. On the Opera website when I try to manually download the binary for Inteprid, it says that the respective download is compatible to both Hardy and Inteprid, so maybe they left it at that. [23:40] Logikos: please paste the exact error you get when you try to install sun-java6-bin [23:40] ldiamond: not a fix sorry, but you can usually ctrl-c on that to cancel and continue the boot - and then set up networking manually [23:41] !pastebin | Logikos [23:41] Logikos: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [23:41] bimberi, it didnt do that before I setup my wireless with wcid. [23:41] Jammet: ok, so what actually happens when you try and install opera? [23:41] anyone here use hotway with evolution to get hotmail emails? [23:41] nuit!! [23:41] i'm having trouble setting it up [23:41] hey, i just installed wine, but when i click on browse C: drive nothing happens [23:41] emorris: "http://deb.opera.com/opera/ stable non-free" is in the Third party software sources list here. [23:42] how do I kill firefox when I can't see it? [23:42] erUSUL: the error came, and is now gone ... i dont know how to recall it ... it did at the end say that it was installed sucessfuly ... but the update thing said there was dependancies, i updated and then that thing said that it was 'broken' dependancies ... i did apt-get check but it only gave me 3 lines ... it checked, built a list, then did something else ... then left me with a prompt, gave me no info really [23:42] how do you list all users account in my machine? [23:42] legend2440: lol, thanks... already installed it just now :D [23:42] threeseas: terminal > ps -e to list the processes [23:42] Hello everyone. Does someone have a few minutes to spare to help a newly Ubuntu praised user? I have recently updated to Intrepid from Hardy Heron and seem to be experiencing troubles with the new nVidia drivers (which I realize I am not the only one having problems with). [23:42] bimberi, isnt there a way to change the timeout to something shorter? [23:42] tab1293, Try opening your home folder, press Cntrl + H, and open the .wine folder. :) [23:42] both desktops that i have dont show that there's a dist-upgrade available? [23:42] threeseas:system monitor [23:42] erUSUL: so i dont have the ability to copy the error anymore, should i remove it and try again? [23:42] emorris: It will get installed, but it's not really the latest version. It's 9.61 instead of 9.62. [23:42] Logikos: then java is installed [23:42] threeseas: system>administration>system monitor, choose firefox, end process [23:42] !upgrade [23:42] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [23:43] Logikos: what makes you think it is not? [23:43] emorris: Meaning, it's not really looking for/or finding the latest version in that repo. [23:43] erUSUL: it had said there are dependancies and i needed to do something to resolve them .... [23:43] threeseas: and than once you found firefox type kill + the pid of firefox [23:43] Jammet: oh, i see, give me a sec, i'll try it [23:43] emorris: And there is another thing I was wondering about. Why can I only find Opera in the Synaptic Package Manager and not in the App/Remove app under "Third party" or Canon? [23:43] erUSUL: it is installed but it said there are dependancies .... how do i fix that ... [23:43] emorris: Ok. [23:44] ldiamond: idk sorry [23:44] Formode lol ok. But i heard you can configure wine to use you native ntfs partition. how do you do this? [23:44] Can anyone help me? When I boot ubuntu, it gets stuck at Configuring network interfaces during like 5 mins. Its very annoying. [23:44] Logikos: if i don't know what's broken i can not fix it [23:44] thanks guys, system monitor did it [23:45] Logikos: do "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" and paste any error you get [23:45] !htop [23:45] Sorry, I don't know anything about htop [23:45] Logikos: in pasteibin [23:45] tab1293, you should be able to run windows apps with wine /path/to/whatever/foo.exe - but i find its best to 'reinstall' apps in wine.. and not rry to run apps from your windows install. [23:45] erUSUL: ... k, ty, sec [23:45] dr_willis: ok [23:45] does anybody know how can i list all the users on my machine via command line? [23:45] Jammet: because stuff has to manually be put in add/remove programs IIRC [23:45] equuelus: "w" [23:46] equuelus, look in /home/ and see who all has directories there..is one way.. or ya mean users currently logged in? [23:46] Could someone perhaps point me towards how to rebind mouse buttons? (Upgrading to 8.10 made the "back" button on the side of my mouse actually work as a back button, and I much prefer the old behavior of it being a middle-click.) [23:46] Hello, is there a way to just change ONE background in ubuntu, instead of all of them?? [23:46] dr_willis, i mean the users listed in /etc/passwd [23:46] hi 2 all [23:46] emorris: Alright. Are you able to install 9.62 through the Opera repo? If you are, something's wrong with what I did. [23:46] dr_willis, but I want real users [23:46] who have compiz bugs in 8.10? [23:46] Vipsta:desktop wallpaper? [23:46] ddesk [23:46] equuelus, any user with a uid over 1000+ i think is a real user... i could be wrong..

[23:48] Who have compiz bugs? [23:48] hi all [23:48] emorris: So someone at Opera is just being slow? That's a relief. [23:48] thiebaude: my question was, if I could just change a background on ONE of the multiple screens, instead of all of them. [23:48] erUSUL: went though, back to prompt, no errors that i noticed, says system restart required to complete it, so i'll brb [23:48] emorris: Thank you =) [23:48] Jammet: you can get this information (your version and the latest version) from apt-cache policy opera [23:48] Vipsta, not under gnome at this time. [23:48] oh,ok vipsta [23:48] what is the name of gnome's network manager tray icon process ? [23:48] Hey where did slapd.conf go?? [23:48] I want to kill it now that's under kde [23:48] zigovr: nm-applet [23:49] ah thanks [23:49] emorris: I see. Well, maybe I'll nudge them a little, then. :) [23:49] Jammet: hehe [23:49] thiebaude: I don't know, system monitor only shows two things using it and thats well under 100% - system monitor and xchat [23:50] threeseas:check this out if you want it:sudo apt-get install htop === charlie is now known as Guest7953 [23:50] htop is better [23:50] , check for LP [23:50] Any one know where to find the PulseAudio Library [23:50] Flannel, If I have my old desktop drive that was dedicated /home can I mount it as home on my laptop via a usb drive enclosure? and will it mess with the permissions of the files? [23:50] I am currently running my LCD monitor in Portrait mode (left 90* rotation) but when trying to rotate it back to standard landscape (or access xrandr at ALL) I get this message: Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display ":0.0". [23:50] question: if i removed the "Shut off" button on the top taskbar, how can i add it back [23:50] legend2440, Thank you, it seems like its the solution. However, I am connected to a network. [23:50] If not configured, lp process can use 100% of cpu [23:50] Scunizi: It shouldn't. [23:51] it will let me add it back, but not to the top right [23:51] how can i do that? [23:51] How do I find out what user groups do I have on my Machine? [23:51] Does anyone know how to fix this? I just upgraded to 8.10 and am having this issue [23:51] Flannel, even though the user id on the desktop was 1000 and the lappy is 1001? [23:51] just installed intrepid on my eeepc, and everytime I launch an internet app (email, firefox) the gnome keyring pops up asking for a password...how can i get it to stop doing this? [23:51] legend2440, shouldnt it find my network faster? Or is it because I have 2 network interfaces? [23:51] nightdragon__, right click on thepanel add applets, and add the one you need.. try some of the others. :) theres some neat ones in there. [23:51] i've donethat [23:51] , pm me [23:51] need help using avidemux :( [23:51] but it wont let me add it all the way to the right, dr_willis [23:51] threeseas: you can change that in system monitor. view>all processes or my processes [23:51] I have 8.10 from today [23:51] it's ruining the voice [23:51] .gt 70 [23:52] BAH [23:52] nightdragon__, 'unlock' the other applets, and move them around [23:52] nightdragon__, then get them into position and lock them back if you want.

[23:54] I just installed intrepid on my eeepc, and everytime I launch an internet app (email, firefox) the gnome keyring pops up asking for a password...how can I get it to stop doing this? [23:54] if you want to use a skype alternative you need an alternative service, like SIP [23:54] ldiamond not sure why but you could try to uncomment the #timeout 60 line and when it finally boots you will see if it has a connection or not. if it doesn't then just comment the line again. 5 minutes seems like an awfully long time for itto find a connection [23:54] while installing intrepid I set my second partition's mount point to be '/home', how can I change that now? [23:54] there are a thousands SIP clients === qb|away is now known as qbmaniac [23:54] youssrr: I have heard that vmware had some thing where the video acceleration is almost realistic [23:54] Flannel, does the uuid of an external usb drive change with each reboot?

[23:55] legend2440, alright, thanks [23:55] Scunizi, ive heard that resizeing a filesystem might change its uuid.. thats the only case ive seen where it may change. [23:55] dr_willis, even with a usb port change? [23:55] dr_willis, thanks. [23:55] The ATI All-in-Wonder video card comes with a purple box for receiving video/audio input. Is there a way to see the input from this in real-time (like if I hook up a game, I want to see it in a window) with a program in Ubuntu? [23:55] Scunizi, the whole point OF uuid - is it dosent matter what port. :) [23:55] blue_mushroom, not sure about that BUT virtualbox is totally open source (GNU GPL) and is based on the same tech as Xen. Not sure about acceleration [23:55] Does VirtualBox or VMWare have the Video Acceleration capacity ? [23:56] I want to hook my laptop to my tv so I can watch movies on my tv. Can you do that ? if so what might I do [23:56] network manager is using a lot of cpu [23:56] dr_willis, nice to know.. [23:56] Scunizi, you could even mount based on disk label, or other things if you wanted [23:56] equelus, I use Twinkle because it provides encrypted IP calls [23:56] and since i'm the in USA-big brother society, it's nice [23:56] looks like too many people here.

[23:57] dr_willis: Yes, I try to enter a password but then it doesn't accept it and I get the same screen again. [23:57] Scunizi: the UUID shouldn't. I suppose the device location could (sdb vs sdc, etc) [23:57] dosent accept? so thats the ACTUAL problem then? [23:57] psiforce, does that site use flash? [23:58] tarelerulz: what video card you have? [23:58] is anyone here familiar with ext2online? [23:58] does the ubuntu kernel support it?
