[00:00] synthax: It's a browser, and yeah [00:00] mikebot: yep, the kernel redirect the apps request from /dev/video0 to the drivers, and vice-versa [00:00] Jack_Sparrow, so I should run the installer that comes with it ? [00:00] blackest does that have something to do with cpu scaling governance? if so I've already done that [00:00] pbx: maybe you need to use user ids like the ones returned by id -u? [00:00] navlop: you are welcome :) [00:00] Odd-rationale: How do I use it? [00:00] notabug: Yikes, I don't know what any of that means. [00:00] debatem1: I'm still partially installed and mid-installer. Once it gave the error I got a screen that gave me an option for a shell. That's where I have been the whole time. [00:00] xerxes1358: yes [00:00] mikebot: It is more similar to skype than to pidgin, though [00:00] andi5: Well, a quick Google tells me that it is a power saving daemon. Also that it is safe to kill. [00:00] jeah: k. something has been horribly miscommunicated somewhere along the line. [00:00] xerxes1358: I suggest having a backup before venturing outside official repos [00:00] Goff256, first untar it [00:00] andi5, hmm, yes, they are different... [00:00] ok [00:01] debatem1: but once I exit the shell it brings me back to the installer [00:01] mikebot: search google with your brand and model as keyword, plus "driver" [00:01] Odd-rationale: Oh, so I can't use my AOL screenname on it? [00:01] debatem1: Sorry if I wasn't clear, but I don't always know exactly what I"m supposed to be communicating. [00:01] mikebot: no. [00:01] pbx: the remote user ids should be irrelevant [00:01] Hrm...any chat program that I can do it with [00:01] ? [00:01] jeah: its not your fault. thats why the new methods exist: cause it doesn't make sense that you have to already know what you're doing to install [00:01] chuy- "defaults" is part of the line you pasted in here... it tells it several options at once- rw, exec, auto, nouser, maybe more [00:02] Synthax: not to sound like an idiot, but.... *stares blankly at a wall* I have no clue how to do any of this >.>;; [00:02] jeah: why dont you walk me through the entire install process you've gone through [00:02] andi5: Is it safe to do a kill all on a process spawned by the kernel? [00:02] Goff256: lol, you are funny :-D [00:02] How so? [00:02] Goff256, type "tar -xvvzf NameOfArchive.tar.gz" where NameOfArchive is the name of the archive cheetah is in. [00:02] debatem1: At this point I'm semi-smart-sounding about what I've already done (at least I think I am) but I have no idea what I'm doing now. If you want me to walk you through the process, I'd probably just point to that thread again. That's basically the whole thing, minus a little bit of detail. [00:03] mobiusthought: So my line should be correct? [00:03] andi5, can you say a little bit more about what you're suggesting? I.e. "use user IDs" where/how? [00:03] A_Killer_Whale: spawned by the kernel? you typically cannot kill those... and they are written inside square brackets when you run `ps faux` .... otherwise just sudo kill it [00:03] I cant get ubuntu installed on my laptop, can anyone help me?

[00:03] pbx: instead of names, does using the numeric value help? it just a wild gues [00:03] chuy- yes, it should be good.. if you want, you can try to manually mount it the same way, but you want it to stick, so I'd say don't worry about that, just restart your PC, and we'll see if your options are set to automount every time on boot [00:04] andi5, sorry to be a dunce, but what do you mean by "using"? What option? [00:04] nick = josys36 [00:04] does anyone know of a way to modify the taskbar colors separately from the theme settings? [00:04] pbx: let me find a tutorial :-) [00:04] anybody here ever set up apt-cacher? [00:04] blackjack: Make sure you have a backup... outside sources can cause all sorts of issues ( mostly for newer linux users) [00:04] i.e. the text color [00:05] have a backup of?? [00:05] debatem1: Though you'd really probably have to read it all, if you didn't read it all already. And once in the installer, it tried to detect the CD-ROM to load modules or something. It couldn't, so I mounted the partition with the iso dd'd onto it into the /cdrom folder. That got past that part. But then when the installer kept going it ran into this other error when it was trying to do debootstrap (presumably by itself without my inte [00:05] blackjack, your /home [00:05] blackjack: Backup of your entire system [00:05] oic...thanks Sparrow... [00:05] So is there no program in ubuntu to do what a mac can do with webcams in chats? [00:05] That works too, Jack_Sparrow ;D [00:05] powertop doesn't do anything for me [00:05] Anyone got a better program for log management than logwatch/logrotate? [00:05] well...i just did a fresh install of Ubuntu on my laptop [00:05] i think this battery life thing is a problem with the way ubuntu charges my battery [00:06] blackjack: Next time you install.. if you do... create a seperate /home partition [00:06] andi5, thanks. The tutorials I've found don't seem to cover this problem. They "just work" :) [00:06] mikebot: i don't know what macs do with webcams in chats; what are you looking for?

Details: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=655593 [00:06] joh6nn: Basically I want to use AIM and have a video chat with someone. [00:06] debatem1: Did you read that whole thread (and the guide linked to in the first post)? If not, it's http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4083047#post4083047 You're earning serious karma points, by the way! :) [00:06] i dedicated all 60gigs partitioned to Ubuntu [00:06] joh6nn: Or not necessarily AIM, but some program. [00:06] andi5: Well, i tried "sudo killall kacpid" and nothing happened... [00:06] mikebot- blame AOL.. it's not a linux shortcoming [00:06] In my battery device information it says the capacity is 41% and the current charge is 20.7 Wh out of a design charge of 50.2Wh [00:06] A_Killer_Whale: i.e., it is still alive? ... what about killall -9? [00:06] jeah: k. i'm going to have to do some actual work for a few minutes, but, i'm going to be back in about 10 min, and we're gonna start over lol. [00:06] mobiusthought: I thought AIM allows webcam chats. [00:07] A_Killer_Whale: That's a kernel thread, you can't kill it. [00:07] pbx: hm.... may you restart your problem for me? maybe i misunderstood you [00:07] jeah: ok? [00:07] s,restart,restate, [00:07] sorry for dumb question, looking on website, trying to log as root on new fresh installed server and it say wrong password, it never asked me for root password [00:07] brb [00:07] debatem1: actuallly, i've really gotta go for now, too. Will you be online in a couple hours? [00:07] mikebot: it does, i think. they just don't make it easy to do with a 3rd party app [00:07] mikebot- get a good all in one IM, like GAIM or something, I don't really do the video chat, I coudn't tell you which is best, but there are several to choose from, I'm sure you can make it work [00:07] how do i find out what directory a program is installed in ? I cannot find pidgin's working directory [00:07] jeah: ummm maybe. ill try. [00:07] joh6nn: Can I download AIM for linux? [00:07] Ximal: ~/.purple? [00:07] mike- yeah, but AOL doesn't like to play well with others. I'm a little surprised they have AOL for Mac [00:07] andi5: No luck [00:07] A_Killer_Whale: That goes pretty much for all "processes" starting with 'k', unless you're running KDE. [00:08] debatem1: Ok, if you can't I totally understand. Either way you've earned the good karma. I'll check for you when I'm back and ready again. [00:08] In my battery device information it says the capacity is 41% and the current charge is 20.7 Wh out of a design charge of 50.2Wh. I'm getting very bad battery life.. Could someone suggest a possible solution? [00:08] mike -IM progs in linux do it all in one, MSN, AIM, ICQ, Yahoo, all of them in one program. You don't need JUST AIM [00:08] mikebot: there's an official linux AIM client, but it's not maintained anymore [00:08] don't think it is anyway [00:08] thank you... [00:08] debatem1: But if you get a chance, read over that thread. [00:08] hi all [00:08] and it doesn't have very many features [00:08] howto define a vlan interface in interfaces ? [00:08] i think there are forks of pidgin that support it though [00:08] cafuego: What do you recommend I do then? Is there any way to stop it from spawning? it's pretty much useless. I'm on a desktop, not a laptop. [00:08] debatem1: And thanks a ton, whether you are able to help more later or not. [00:08] i've never needed video chat, so i've never looked into it [00:08] can anyone tell me how i can edit the source.list file ? [00:09] A_Killer_Whale: Um [00:09] stupid soo!!! [00:09] any way to edit the taskbar colors separately from the theme settings? [00:09] speedbird: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [00:09] A_Killer_Whale: Are you killing things you think you don't need at random? [00:09] In my battery device information it says the capacity is 41% and the current charge is 20.7 Wh out of a design charge of 50.2Wh. I'm getting very bad battery life.. Could someone suggest a possible solution? [00:09] joh6nn: So it wouldn't work? [00:09] andi5 : thanks [00:09] A_Killer_Whale: You could prevent it from running by not loading anuy ACPI modules. Of course, that would make the system run hot and possibly cause IRQ problems. [00:10] mattholimrau- right click on the taskbar and hit Properties? [00:10] caduego: No. I don't like to kill things that I'm not sure about. [00:10] jeah: its np, ill try to be on later [00:10] mikebot: probably not. worth a shot though [00:10] debatem1: Ok, thanks again. Signing off for now... [00:10] mikebot: i'll bet if you google for "linux video chat", you'll come up with something, though [00:10] andi5 -- ok, it's like this. I type "sudo sshfs pbx@example.com:/foo/bar /home/pbx/foobar" and it mounts -- but with an owner/group of "?" and permissions of 0. I can "ls" it with sudo, but not as my regular user. I want to map it so my login user owns the mount. [00:10] joh6nn: Haha, OK, thanks. [00:10] mobiusthought: that gives background color settings - i need to specify the font color [00:10] in my experience, sip via ekiga is the best way for webcam... at least to chat with the rest of the world. [00:11] joh6nn: I'm not savvy enough to be able to install something like that. [00:11] amsn is coming along but the video chat only sends snapshots from your cam. [00:11] i want it to be transparent on a black background, but still have black on white for my theme so that programs don't look ugly as sin [00:11] A_Killer_Whale: A better way is to not kill things at all, but to check what they are and then disable them properly., [00:11] mikebot: something like what? [00:11] pbx: ? usually means that ls cannot resolve the numeric user id value to a user name... what does `ls -ln` show you? [00:12] I have a bug with the IRC network [00:12] lol [00:12] joh6nn: Something that I can't just type sudo apt-get blah and it will then be installed and ready to go. [00:12] hello [00:12] matt- [00:12] you want to set your font color to transparent? so you can't see what window is what? [00:12] well, ideally, you'd google to find out which app you need, and then just install it through apt-get; the chances are that once you find out what app you need, it will be available [00:12] nickserv makes me wait 120 seconds when querying the register syntax [00:12] * Shane|BGSU is listening to Jet - Get Born - Are You Gonna Be My Girl [00:13] i cannot boot without using acpi=off i think that's causing my wifi problems is there any other way around this [00:13] Is Compiz the only way to have nautilus transparent backgrounds? [00:13] mikebot, what service to you want to chat via? [00:13] kind of ignoring, especially when i keep forgeting about it [00:13] meh [00:13] larson999: ideally, mikebot was looking for AIM [00:13] anyone: whats a good prog to use to convert audio and video files such as .mp3 and .avi that recognizable on linux? [00:13] cafuego: Well, I did try to stop it by fixing the problem that's supposed to spawn it. kacpid is supposed to kick in when your processor is overheating. I have 5 case fans and my processsor fan is working fine. [00:14] or at least, that's what i thought he said [00:14] no, i want to set the background to transparent, so i need to be able to set the taskbar font colors to white [00:14] larson999: AIM [00:14] blackjack: i don't understand the question; could you elaborate? [00:14] Can Ekiga do that? [00:14] the only way to do that is to set the theme - which requires setting the backgrounds to dark, which makes many programs look very bad [00:14] so - i'd like to be able to set the taskbar font colors separately from the theme settings [00:14] joh6nn, there isn't an aim webchat method that works as far as i know. [00:15] is there any way to do that? [00:15] larson999: Hm, one sec. [00:15] matt- oh I see, I dunno how you'd do that, then [00:15] joh6nn: its my first time using ubuntu and i want to start playing mp3 and avi files [00:15] blackjack: There are some online resources to do that.

[00:17] A_Killer_Whale: It provides an interface for other tools (like say powernowd) to throttle your cpu when it's not busy. [00:17] larson999: Doesn't it cost money? [00:17] nope [00:17] larson999: does skype video chat work reliably on linux? i haven't tried it [00:17] !skype [00:17] To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto [00:17] pbx: i am sorry, i suppose i cannot help you [00:18] mikebot, i haven't used skypes in years but i thought it did video now. [00:18] i just got this new mouse with a tilt wheel. how do i set it up? any advice or help at all would be nice === Yancho is now known as YanchoAWY [00:18] larson9999: I think it does do video, but I thought there was a fee or something. [00:18] joh6nn, not sure, i haven't used skype since about 2000 [00:18] pbx: have to sleep anyway.... good luck and see you! [00:18] mikebot: so far as i know, video chat on skype is free [00:18] mikebot, i thought the fee was only from computer to phone not computer to computer. [00:18] i've just never tried it on linux [00:18] larson9999: correct [00:19] OK, I'll try Skype then. [00:19] Thanks. [00:19] Wait, would Ekiga be able to call Skype users? [00:19] skype should be available through apt [00:19] no idea [00:19] not sure about latest version for gutsy, check the skype web page to ensure the repo version will have video, mikebot [00:19] but my wife talks to her mom(msn video chat with sip account) using ekiga and that works great so we never messed with skype. [00:20] Skype didn't do video last time I looked. [00:20] mikebot: To install skype, first enable the medibuntu repo. [00:20] !medibuntu [00:20] medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [00:20] Skype does video now [00:20] mikebot: Report back with your results eh? [00:20] the latest version supports it gyaresu [00:20] cool [00:20] iN00DLE: Repos or direct download? [00:20] anyone here ever use apt-cacher?

[00:23] larson999: video dvd? [00:23] !root [00:23] 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 [00:23] joh6nn, yep [00:23] bulmer, no, linsys, I don't know how to log into my router though [00:23] larson9999: no worries.

[00:25] Someone know is there a good way to have an Ubuntu workstation redirect home folder to server based on LDAP authentication [00:25] JonathanD, exactly. why i don't pirate movies! [00:25] mikebot: Just copy and paste the command into your terminal. See "Adding repos." [00:25] larson9999: I wasn't saying to buy one... [00:25] larson9999: I'm saying it would cost less to produce one! [00:25] biouser, what do you mean you think? what is it now? [00:25] mikebot: Make sure to add the GPG key too! [00:25] yeah [00:26] Ah OK. [00:26] bulmer, that is what I was told, I don't know if it will work though [00:26] at least here, the city wants a fee for disposing of 7,000 coasters [00:26] bulmer, I am trying to get around using windows and getting tech support from ATT [00:26] with all the free streaming via mythtv, who has time for movies?

[00:26] mikebot: That should be ok [00:26] biouser, you paid ATT why not use their support? [00:27] hello [00:27] bulmer, they don't support linux [00:27] "Install with driver update CD" ? [00:27] larson9999: I don't watch tv, except in rare cases. [00:27] what is the driver update CD for ubuntu?!?! [00:27] mikebot: You should find skype in synaptic. or sudo aptitude install skype [00:27] biouser, you can lie and tell them you have dos windows :) [00:27] biouser, do what everyone else does. say you're using windows. the tech suport people won't figure it out. if they get suspicious, tell them you have it skinned. soon we can all say we're running kde on windows :) [00:27] biouser anyhow...here is what you do [00:27] biouser: You are trying to login and change linksys router yes? [00:27] Odd-rationale: Hrm, it isn't in synaptic [00:27] help! [00:27] bulmer, then they will start talking about the install dick and thecontrol panel or something [00:28] hey ... I installed Linux Mint (which is Ubuntu) a while back and all multi-media worked out of the box .... does the latest Ubuntu version do that too? [00:28] disk [00:28] O9ether: you don't need to worry about that, unless your computer came with a driver cd [00:28] Biouser: You cannot activate ATT internet from linux. The web pages only support the Triton rendering engine. [00:28] if it didn't, you can just do a normal install [00:28] mikebot: Hmm. Try reloading your package lists [00:28] ohok [00:28] thanks [00:28] anyone know some command line tool to remove silence from wav files ? [00:28] biouser, open a browser and type 192.168.1.1 [00:28] no problem [00:28] bulmer the router is not hooked up right now [00:28] hou5ton: When you try and play a media file you don't have the codec for, it prompts you to install the proper codec [00:28] Odd-rationale: Ah cool, thx.

[00:29] 09ether it actually works pretty well most of the time. [00:29] Flannel: are the codecs readily available? [00:29] hou5ton: Yes [00:29] hou5ton: They always have been, yes [00:29] joh6nn: not sure gow can i find out? [00:29] thanks [00:29] joh6nn: i plan to use WRK54G [00:29] O9ether: if you don't know the chipset, why do you think it won't work? [00:29] bulmer, several years ago i told my isp i was running linux and they said they wouldn't support me. next time i called i told them i went back to windows cause they told me they didn't support linux. it was taxing on my memory but since windows was still fresh in my mind i was able to fool them :) [00:30] bulmer, I wouldn't be here on the internet if it was [00:30] joh6nn: well for some reason i thoug ubuntu, might just detect it [00:30] heh [00:30] O9ether: it should [00:30] I created a tar of /home/user on one machine and have scp to /home/user on another machine. Whenever I extract it extracts to /home/user/home/user how can I get it to extract to the existing dir ? [00:30] just load the liveCD, i'd say, and see if it detects it [00:30] just running the liveCD is a no-risk scenario [00:31] biouser: Your best bet is to just use a friend's laptop if you do not have a Windows PC. About half way through the registration, there is a page that has an error that renders the next button innefective to Firefox users. [00:31] and if it detects it, go ahead and install [00:31] !ot [00:31] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [00:31] joh6nn: iv just started installing it [00:31] biouser, lets do the basic stuff first...open a browser and connect to your router via 192.168.1.1 [00:31] allobjects: man dd [00:31] does ubuntu have a program like gkrellm? [00:31] O9ether: do you have internet from the liveCD? [00:31] !ot [00:31] why a youtube video slows down my laptop? ati x200 gpu [00:31] biouser: If the line is already registered, the router should work fine. [00:31] is there another method of preferences for the app Gimmie other than gconf-editor? [00:31] where is ubotu? [00:31] !ot [00:31] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [00:31] nvm [00:32] bulmer, okay [00:32] dvlkiss: I know there's been problems with the ATI drivers in the past you could check the bug lists [00:32] bmoney, perhaps if you read what it said just one second after you invoked it the first time... :) [00:32] joh6nn: no i have internet on my PC, only the iso burned CD on my laptop === bmoney is now known as shrug [00:32] is there a way to do remote desktop, other than VNC? IE, using a desktop with ubuntu to connect remotely to a server running ubuntu? [00:32] q: how do I start ubuntu in safe graphics mode from grub or what entry do I modify in the xorg.conf so that it will always start in safe graphics mode? [00:32] Am|sh: xdmcp + ssh with x11 forwarding should give you everything you need [00:32] O9ether: you're running the liveCD on your laptop right now, right? [00:32] Am|sh: Sounds like you just want to use SSH. [00:32] do you suggest to install the official ati drivers? [00:32] Jack_Sparrow: I have 'man tar' and tried all sorts of options, I realize this is a off topic here [00:32] Amjsh: Terminal Server Client [00:33] regarding my power problem: i found a program called powertop which is supposed to be able to increase battery life by double through some simple tweaks. is anyone familiar with this program? i can't seem to follow the instructions on their website as i'm not sure how to apply all the patches they have on there [00:33] joh6nn: u mean the installation CD? [00:33] joh6nn: the ubutu desktop is just loading [00:33] O9ether: there's the normal install CD, which is the LiveCD, and then there's the Alternate install CD [00:33] allobjects: Sorry, yea, I meant man tar... What command arr you using to unpack it? [00:33] punkshui: patches? site? powertop is in the repositories from what i can see [00:33] is there some command that I can run, to reconfigure a package, that has already been installed, but whose configuration has been messed up? For example, supopse a symlink need tobe recreated. I have tried, "dpkg -configure" but it gives me an error "package foo is already installed and configured" [00:33] bulmer, A_Killer_Whale http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=105906 do you think that this would do it? [00:33] O9ether: yeah, the one that loads a desktop [00:33] What can I use to replace the start bar? So I can put a theme on it to say... [00:33] biouser, have you done what I asked you yet? [00:33] joh6nn:ok cool [00:33] once the desktop finishes loading, see if you can connect to the internet from it [00:33] I'm trying to configure VMWare server on a box. I couldn't get it running on 7.10-server, so i'm trying regular old 7.10... but the box's vid card is so bad, it doesn't even load in safe-graphics mode... [00:34] MartianLobster: Try dpkg-reconfigure [00:34] RampageAI: thanks [00:34] bulmer, I'm not connected to the router... if I do, the connection goes byebye [00:34] Am|sh: define "bad", in terms of the video card; bad as in broken, or bad as in "mis-configured" [00:34] bulmer, I noted what you said on my piece of paper here [00:34] joh6nn: i dont think i will because the NIC interface on my laptop.., the light is orange and not green [00:34] MartianLobster: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure " does reconfigure a package, but it might not be what you want. [00:34] biouser, how are you getting connected right now to the router? [00:35] Jack_Sparrow: tar -xvf myfile.tar /home/user [00:35] joh6nn: plus.. my WRK54G is not connected to my cable modem yet [00:35] O9ether: only one way to find out though, right? [00:35] bulmer, I am connected directly to the modem right now [00:35] joh6nn: dunno, it's an old ibm netfinity 5500 server... i had to do ctrl-alt-f1 to get to a prompt, and it's at 320x180 or some gawd awful resolution [00:35] Jack_Sparrow: but the tar file is currently in /home/user and I am logged in as that user [00:35] biouser your modem is a router too? [00:35] joh6nn: ok [00:35] What can I use to replace the start bar? So I can put a theme on it to say... [00:36] Am|sh: dear god. will it take a normal pci video card? [00:36] biouser, most of ATT modems now does dual purpose router and modem [00:36] joh6nn: i have to disconnect for a bit [00:36] ok, O9ether. good luck [00:36] allobjects: tar -xvf myfile.tar should put it in current folder with subfolders.. is that what you want [00:36] debatem1?? [00:36] Chewy954, you mean the gnome-panel? [00:36] joh6nn: " I'll Be Back " [00:37] hehhe [00:37] can anyone help me out?? [00:37] Eagle2160: what's your issue? [00:37] joh6nn: possibly... the server is about 3' by 3' by 2' tall (massive cube) with an attached 10-drive scsi array, and it's backed into a closet. i really don't want to pull it out and try sticking a new card into it [00:37] Hello. Evolution just had a meltdown: It tried giving me an error message, but a popup appeared with no words in it. Then another, then another....I tried to click them all off, but I was being overwhelmed by them. Then everything locked up, and so I did th Alt+SysRQ+REISUB thing to reboot. Evolution no longer has any of my settings, and my "places" menu has moved a bunch of folders into "Bookmarks". What happened? [00:37] biouser, what is the ip address of your pc now since you are directly connected? [00:37] yes eagle2160? [00:37] need help [00:37] !ask [00:37] Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question -- All On One Line, so others can read it and follow it easily --. and if anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [00:37] iN00DLE, yes. [00:38] what exactly do you want to do with it Chewy954 ? [00:38] biouser, are you paying attention? [00:38] iN00DLE: just change the look of it [00:38] well you can alter the colors and size and transparency by right clicking on the panel itself [00:38] joh6nn: but the funny thing is that it ran normally all throught the text-only install, and after it's installed it decided to go all wonky. [00:38] then go to properties, Chewy954 [00:38] everytime i try to install a program from the internet that i downloaded it keeps sayinh error and that only one manager can be running at the time what do i do to fix this [00:38] How do I tell my system (probably using a bash script) to update my system at a certain time? [00:38] yea iN00DLE, i know that [00:39] RampageAI: that is what I need, (I hope) thanks [00:39] but there are total replacements for it that I've seen on beryl-theme [00:39] bulmer: FYI (incase you don't know it): 'netdiscover' for finding his router or other machines. [00:39] is there anything different between Ubuntu and Xubuntu other than the graphics manager? i'm wondering if Xubuntu would be the better choice, and then run vmware-server on top of xubuntu [00:39] Here's a weird one... I have an ipod named CROWLEY. When I unmount it in Nautilus (by rt-click and selecting "unmount") it succeeds; but when I try to on the cmd line with "sudo umount /media/CROWLEY" it is replaced in Nautilus with "Apple ipod Music Player" [00:39] but not sure what the app they used to get this achieved is iN00DLE [00:39] debatem1:ok so i made a new disk and it had the start thing so i clikced start and it loaded but now it just went completely black, i have been reading around and this has happened to a lot of people what do you suggest i do? [00:39] how can I see my network information, like hostname, domain name, DHCP hostname? :T [00:39] try some gnome-panel specific wallpapers, look at www.gnome-look.org Chewy954 [00:39] XxValetexX: hostname [00:39] eagle2160: k, at what point does it go black? [00:40] how do you enable remote desktop via SSH? [00:40] Am|sh: the only differences between (Ku|Xu|U)buntu are the graphics managers [00:40] i did iN00DLE, dont like the look... [00:40] gyaresu: thanks [00:40] Am|sh: ssh -X [00:40] Any idea why the "umount" command line doesn't completely unmount the ipod? [00:40] Jack_Sparrow: yes I want to extract the entire archive with subdirs but I want it to extract a couple of levels up from where the tar file is i.e. /home/user/my.tar extracted to / [00:40] I'm jut looking for a complete replacement, like something lik Emerald, but for the start bar [00:40] rkj: define "doesn't completely unmount" [00:40] rkj: ah, i see it now [00:40] debatem1 after the ubuntu logo popped up and had the loading bar below it [00:41] Jack_Sparrow: oterwise it creates an additional /home/user within /home/user if that makes any sense [00:41] Anyone know how to customize details of effects in 7.10? As in more than turn on/off. [00:41] joh6nn look at my previous msg - leaves a device called "Apple ipod Music Player" [00:41] where is the eggdrop folder, or how can i search for it? [00:41] rkj: does the ipod still say "do not disconnect" when the device is there? [00:41] eagle2160: k, perchance are you on a laptop? [00:41] yes [00:42] debatem1: nope im on my desktop im talking to you on my laptop though [00:42] RampageAI, are you using compiz? [00:42] Jack_Sparrow: or do I just mv the tar file into / ? [00:42] anyone? [00:42] Does ubuntu have good support for wireless internet? [00:42] iNOODLE: As far as I know just whatever is built-in through System>Preferences>Appearances>Effects [00:42] not really [00:42] Rufus: That's a fairly random question. Did you download or install eggdrop? [00:42] Rufus: from the commandline: find / -name eggdrop [00:42] yes [00:42] eagle2160: eh, oh well. ok, hit crtl+alt+f1 [00:42] allobjects: You tared /home/user/* and where do you want to untar it to.? [00:42] iN00DLE: i figured it out, KBFX [00:43] XxValetexX: yes but depends on the card you have also [00:43] joh6nn the only option in Nautilus then is to "Mount" then it's displayed as "CROWLEY" and then I can unmount in Nautilus [00:43] Rufus: Any more info than just 'yes'? [00:43] allobjects: I am thinking you need to move the tar t o/ [00:43] debatem1:ok some white text popped up [00:43] rkj: i meant on the actual ipod screen. : ) [00:43] i downlaoded and installed eggdrop [00:43] he peeps [00:43] i have a friend who is a complete and utter newb [00:43] and erased all his access for root [00:43] cause he was silly and didn't change his root pass [00:44] Rufus: Then 'man eggdrop' [00:44] is there a way he can regain root access [00:44] !root > acid-trip [00:44] eagle2160: k, whats it say? [00:44] can anyone help me with screen resolution problem in gusty [00:44] eagle2160: should look like a login [00:44] speedbird: what's the problem? [00:44] acid-trip: boot into single user. [00:44] (mode) [00:44] bulmer, sorry [00:44] joh6nn yeah, understood ... let me check again, but I think the answer is yes - still says "do not disconnect" [00:44] acid-trip: You can start in single user mode and set one. [00:44] gyaresu he already did the set up [00:44] Jack_Sparrow: same location on another machine. I'm moving a user home dir. [00:45] acid-trip: So what does He want to do now? === Derek_E is now known as Derek_E_ [00:45] but his gf went and systems> admin> users ans group [00:45] debatem1:well it is all white text and it has my name i put in and a blinking cursor [00:45] and removed her access [00:45] rkj: then the only thing i can think of is to check and see what the actual command that gets run from the nautilus menu is; clearly, they're different. how you do that, though, i don't know. [00:45] he's trying to login as root [00:45] to add another user [00:45] acid-trip: Is he running Ubuntu... You say he didnt change his root password, but there is NO root password [00:45] Chewy954, kbfx is for KDE....you would be better served in #kubuntu [00:45] joh6nn : i cant increase my screen resolution from 1024 X 768 in windows i had 1152 X 864 is there any way i can have same in ubuntu ? [00:45] !sudo > acid-trip [00:45] eagle2160: great. do me a favor and type startx [00:45] Jack_Sparrow yes you can you can sudo passwd and it'll change your root pass [00:45] ok, i've enabled remote desktop on the remote machine... trying to use the terminal services client to connect (vnc), but i keep getting connection refused [00:46] iN00DLE: is there something like that for gnome? [00:46] acid-trip: So login in 'single user mode'. Probably safe mode from grub. [00:46] is it possible to install an encrypted root inside an lvm on a raid5 softarray? [00:46] joh6nn maybe some flags to the umount cmd [00:46] !rootsupport > acid-trip: [00:46] i have no idea what my root password is on any of my linux machines === Derek_E_ is now known as Derek_E [00:46] flamsmark: probably use truecrypt to do something like that [00:46] acid-trip: You said he did nOT change it [00:46] no root support eh sparrraow [00:46] anyone check out the openmoko phone? think it'll be worth it? [00:46] Jack_Sparrow no he didn't [00:46] not that I know of Chewy954 , but there may very well be [00:46] speedbird: try running "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" from the command line [00:46] but he can't sudo nothing [00:46] acid-trip: There was not one to change to begin with === PasteL is now known as Absurdo [00:47] Jack_Sparrow: original tar was 'sudo tar cvzf tigga.tar /home/tigga' [00:47] Jack_Sparrow: should I have done sudo tar cvzf tigga.tar /home/tigga/*' ? [00:47] acid-trip, the key question here is, did he ever *set* a root password? if not, just boot into recovery mode, and he's root [00:47] joh6nn : Alright I'm trying that .. [00:47] need help [00:47] acid-trip: get out the livecd, and use it to boot the box; when it finishes booting, the livecd environment will provide it's own root [00:47] hey all, when I boot the live cd (amd64) (even with safe grafics) it messes up somehow (no picture with normal boot & stuck at initscripts with safe-grafics) any ideas? [00:47] fryguy-- why truecrypt? i was planning to put a boot partiton before the start of a luks lvm? can truecrypt even run at the right level? [00:47] hey... is there something I can press that when i start up ubuntu it will go through the process list instead of the graphical ubuntu startup? [00:47] from which you^H^H^H he'll be able to fix the problem [00:47] allobjects: No.. it should be fine.. [00:47] joh6nn and he can add anther user to the already machine [00:47] debatem1:ummm it says "fatal server error server is already active for diplay 0 if this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.XO-lock and start again" [00:48] xenthro, edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and change the "quiet splash" to "nosplash" [00:48] xenakis, i believe if you edit your grub config, you should be able to change the options [00:48] need help [00:48] xenthro* [00:48] thanks! [00:48] is there a way to convert ubuntu to xubunty without re-installing via cd? [00:48] acid-trip: yeah, but adding a new user won't let him restore root [00:48] Am|sh, sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop? [00:48] he'll need to gain root to restore root, and to do that, the easiest is to boot using the livecd [00:48] ok [00:48] thanks joh6nn [00:48] no prob [00:49] Jack_Sparrow: so now we have /home/tigga/tigga.tar and when I extract, I end up with /home/tigga/home/tigga [00:49] eagle2160: k, thats as expected. i'm going to pm you so that you get the commands to type [00:49] I have trouble booting the live cd: it gets stuck at initscripts [00:49] anybody here ever use apt-cacher? [00:49] ok [00:49] test [00:49] ak5: what're you running on [00:49] acid-trip: My point is that there is no root password, he did not change or add root password and now he has permission problems, which sounds like someone was using root access or trying to run gui apps as sudo and not gksudo and now has permission problems [00:49] O9ether: you're here [00:49] Starnestommy: thanks, that's installing now... will that change it so it becomes xubuntu on reboot, or will i need to swap a config? [00:50] joh6nn: it's an ubuntu amd64 live cd [00:50] Jack_Sparrow but there is a way to set a root pass to prevent stupid ppl from doing things like taht [00:50] joh6nn: didn't go as planed thoe [00:50] ak5: sorry, i meant what hardware [00:50] allobjects: Move tar to / and type sudo tar cvzf tigga.tar [00:50] joh6nn it does indeed still say "do not disconnect" [00:50] eagle2160: you getting the pm? [00:50] Am|sh: while it's installing, it will ask you what to use as the default environment [00:50] Am|sh, I think it switches it to xubuntu, but the paskages you had before are still installed [00:50] ak5 try cleaning the disk or writing at a slower speed? [00:50] joh6nn: uh, built in grafics, boardname: ECS RS482-M [00:50] acid-trip: That would not have saved him from this problem === tritium_ is now known as tritium [00:51] i have a question? i installed a second hd on my computer running xbuntu, how do i get access to rwx? [00:51] ak5: try adding "irqpoll" to the kernel bootline [00:51] Derek_E: doesn't seem to be the problem, I reburnt cd 2x [00:51] Jack_Sparrow but it would of allowed him to keep a seperate root account to login via opening a terminal via ctrl+alt and one of the f keys [00:51] :D\ [00:51] joh6nn: Starnestommy: thanks! so if I want to swtich back, then just apt-get install ubuntu-desktop? [00:51] joh6nn: how exactly, it gives me no cli [00:51] Am|sh: Actually, I think you just need to select xfce in tghe gdm login screen [00:51] Hi. [00:51] Am|sh: they'll be installed side-by-side, you can switch back and forth on the fly [00:51] acid-trip: Feel free to move the discussion to #Ubuntu-offtopic... [00:52] joh6nn: i think it might be my virgin cable modem, i think they assign the router to the MAC of the PC it was first registered with, if u know what i mean? [00:52] I urgently need help. [00:52] joh6nn aslo, in the /media directory there is no entry for "Apple ipod Music Player", and a umount command to unmount it fails [00:52] Jack_Sparrow you care to join me [00:52] Am|sh, on the login screen, there should be a session changing button somewhere for switching to Gnome or KDE [00:52] Odd-rationale: hmm... i hope i can get it too boot to the login screen then. Ubuntu isn't even booting to the login screen [00:52] acid-trip: Not when I disagree with you... [00:52] joh6nn: how do i get a cli? [00:52] I'm having to do all this through SSH [00:52] then come explain why you disagree [00:52] ak5: sorry; at the first LiveCd menu, if you hit F6, it will let you modify the kernel boot line [00:52] joh6nn: thx [00:52] need help [00:52] yep [00:52] Jack_Sparrow: cvzf ? [00:52] does anyone know if we can use amarok with the new ipod's? The fat nano is what I ahve, and i had issues with songbird managing music while under windows. [00:52] heed help [00:53] rkj: i think your best bet then is to try and figure out flags Nautilus is passing to umount [00:53] I installed Windows XP on a partition and it booted properly, then I installed Ubuntu to another (the first one, to be exact) and now Windows XP says "Invalid Device request" when I try to boot into it. Ubuntu works. Could someone please help me? [00:53] superracer21x, what do you need help with? [00:53] blippy, not in this release, probably in hardy [00:53] * Ropechoborra se va a probar con el noprobe xP ya vuelvo [00:53] !as > superracer21x [00:53] joh6nn: booting, thxx [00:53] !ask > superracer21x [00:53] allobjects: move it to / and unpack it the same way but without adding the extra path which is getting added on. [00:53] joh6nn: let's see if this works :D [00:53] oh well. [00:53] !ask [00:53] Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question -- All On One Line, so others can read it and follow it easily --. and if anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [00:53] joh6nn when I double clicked on it in Nautilus to view the file system ir remounted CROWLEY automatically [00:53] there! [00:53] debatem1: no im not how do i see if i am getting one? [00:53] O9ether: i know what you mean. most routers i've used have a setting to pretend to be a different computer, ot get past that [00:54] rkj: yeah, you're gonna have to dig through the Nautilus config files or something, to see what command it's actually running. i have no idea where to look, though [00:54] whats the difference between suse linux and ubuntu? [00:54] joh6nn: does the linksys WRK54G have it? [00:54] eagle2160: what client are you using? [00:54] joh6nn thanks anyway [00:54] i downloaded this program but everytime i try to install it i get and error saying that i can only have one mangeger running at the time and its not the program ive trid on differnt programs [00:54] vwhydrowv: you new to linux? [00:54] vwhydrowv: suse is not based on debian [00:54] whats it based on? [00:54] debatem1:irc [00:54] O9ether: no idea, never used it [00:54] vwhydrowv: it's its own thing [00:54] vwhydrowv: Please ask in #Ubuntu-offtopic. this channel is for people who have alreadymade that choice.. not to discuss why they did. [00:55] superracer21x, there might be another instance of the package manager running [00:55] ok jack [00:55] joh6nn: ok mabby ill go do some googlig [00:55] i need help with ubuntu installation [00:55] joh6nn: thanx for all teh help [00:55] rafaelse: Please explain the problem [00:55] googlin/g [00:56] i installed the ubuntu 7.10 with wubi [00:56] joh6nn: seems i have to use the safe mode + irqpoll [00:56] O9ether: no problem. good luck with it [00:56] when i start with ubuntu i get a black screen [00:56] eagle2160: k, what actual client though? xchat, etc [00:57] anyone got a repository list with alot of sources they can paste somewhere [00:57] rafaelse: did you see a menu? if so use safe grafics boot [00:57] rafaelse: I personally disagree with how wubi does its' install...

[00:58] Tetracomm: ones that run on faster hardware? [00:58] ak5: don't forget to add it to the "default kernel options" in grub, or every time you install a new kernel, you'll be SOL [00:58] No. [00:58] Tetracomm: Please ask in #Ubuntu-offtopic. this channel is for people who already yse ubuntu [00:58] Ones that are more efficient than Ubuntu. [00:58] #ubuntu [00:58] Tetracomm: don't even try though, if you can't get ubuntu to work exactly like you want it [00:58] Is Debian any better? [00:58] Ok. [00:58] Sorry. [00:58] debatem1:i dunno what either of those are [00:58] Hello, is there anyone available to help me with sound issues? [00:59] hey does anyone here know how to extract firmware from a windows driver [00:59] joh6nn: thx, I'm just trying to get the live cd to run :) I want to test some stuff on ubuntu [00:59] !fwcutter [00:59] eagle2160: k, is there a button near the top of the screen that says 'help'? [00:59] its easy [00:59] ak5: ah. hope it works out for you [00:59] ok [00:59] Sorry, I don't know anything about fwcutter - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [00:59] is this the offical ubuntu chat or does ubuntu have a irc server?

[00:59] debatem1: yes [01:00] ak5: One of many [01:00] eagle2160: click on it, and then on 'about' [01:00] agh joh6nn it still stops at initscripts :( [01:00] * nickrud thinks he is [01:00] Nickrud needs to come take over for awhile.... [01:00] Tag [01:00] jack, i am sticking with ubuntu, just wanted to see some books i picked up would be cross-platform useful [01:00] Fade2BLK: this is ubuntu support...if you just want to chat join #ubuntu-offtopic [01:00] i want an application that i can make a simple midi drum track and record my guitar to, suggestions? [01:00] Jack_Sparrow, I was out testing resetting a forgotten root password [01:00] nickrud: We are getting way to predictable [01:00] im talking though in offtopic though [01:01] oh ok [01:01] Jack_Sparrow, I said it first ;p [01:01] Jack_Sparrow: that worked and the user/group/rights seem to have balso been preserved. Many thanks and sorry for the off topic [01:01] debatem1: it wont let me look kuzz i havnt registered yet [01:01] allobjects: np.. it was close to on topic [01:01] ak5: you may need to try some hardware specific kernel modules, then. i had to do that to get optimum performance here on my laptop [01:01] ak5: by "optimum performance", i mean "a working desktop" [01:01] allobjects: nOW JUST WRITE IT DOWN [01:01] is there any site with repo list? [01:01] allobjects: Sorry for the caps [01:02] eagle2160: huhwhat? [01:02] joh6nn: is there anyway to load a monolithic kernel with just about everything hardcompiled? [01:02] is /etc/rc.local a good place, or the better place, to do a #modprobe? [01:02] ak5: for the most part, that's the main kernel [01:02] joh6nn: don't really care about boot time at this part [01:02] Is anyone available to help me with sound issues in ubuntu? I assume I dont have the drivers, but I'm a complete newbie and would like to know what drivers to get and how === linxeh_ is now known as linxeh [01:02] is /etc/rc.local a good place, or the better place, to do a #modprobe? [01:02] Is there a kernel option to tell the kernel to boot into safe graphics mode? [01:03] joh6nn: wierd, why doesn't it boot on this machine then strange.... is there an option to skip the whole gnome stuff and just give me a cli? [01:03] debatem1: i havnt registered on here so it wont let me look at it a little window pops up that says about mirc and it has 2 buttons [01:03] RenatoSilva, if you want a module loaded always on boot, list it by itself on a line in /etc/modules [01:03] ak5: not from the liveCD, that i'm aware of. [01:03] ak5 [01:03] you can [01:03] on recovery mode [01:03] joh6nn: thx [01:03] Magus_X: how to acces? [01:03] !sound | FernandoLujan have you tried these? [01:03] FernandoLujan have you tried these?: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [01:04] You can from live cd i think, check the options at start [01:04] as far as i know, there are a "safemode" [01:04] but im not sure [01:04] Magus_X: I'll get back to you on that, one sec :) [01:04] nickrud: I'm asking right because of /etc/modules. I want to understando the difference. [01:04] ah Magus_X safemode doesn't work for me wither [01:04] *either [01:05] RenatoSilva, /etc/modules gets read very early in boot process, rc.local very last [01:05] eagle2160: thats what i needed to know, but alas i've never used mirc [01:05] eagle2160: just send me a pm [01:05] debatem1: oh ok yeah ive never used it either this is my first time [01:06] debatem1: i did miltiple times [01:06] how do I get ubuntu to install the previous kernel version? [01:06] nickrud: so /etc/modules would be the better way? [01:06] Is it possible to disable a user account without deleting the user ? [01:06] i have an avermida hybrid express tv card and i cant seem to get it to work [01:06] anybody know how to send an im in mIRC here? please tell eagle2160 [01:06] I'd prefer that it kept the current and installed the previous also [01:06] lol [01:06] *pm [01:06] RenatoSilva, yes, [01:06] ak5: try adding break=top to the boot line [01:07] wwalker: you should be able to choose it when booting, press esc when you see the grub countdown...to make it permanent you will need to change the default line in your menu.lst [01:07] debatem1: i did it has sent to you its has sent like 8 of em [01:07] joh6nn: hey thx for your support man, will do] [01:07] debatem1' [01:07] that should drop you into a very limited busybox prompt during the boot [01:07] from there, you'll be able to add or remover various kernel modules [01:07] robdig: I'veonly got the latest version installed. [01:07] double click on the user you want to im, but you need to be a registered user in the network to be able to send ims [01:07] though i have no idea which ones you'll need [01:07] joh6nn: perfect, thx [01:07] if you google your specific hardware, though, you should be able to figure it out [01:07] wwalker: is it a fresh install? [01:07] allobjects: I don't know, but an idea is to comment the user entry on users database [01:07] only one to hoose from. I've got a keyboar roblem that arived last time I upgraded [01:08] theoretically, the kernel is supposed to get optimized modules for your hardware ... [01:08] debatem1: what are you using?? [01:08] joh6nn: I don't know what the problematic hardware is though, no error messages really, just stop [01:08] ak5: desktop or laptop? [01:08] joh6nn: desktop [01:08] eagle2160: k, we're not getting anywhere with that [01:08] hi all... if someone is using my nick (ryanpg) on freenode, how do I get it back? [01:08] wwalker: if you do normal upgrade, it keeps the last kernel, just moves it down in menu.lst... [01:08] eagle2160: just follow along, k [01:08] debatem1: ok [01:08] ryanpg_: /nickserv ghost nick password [01:08] ryan8403, if it's registered, /msg nickserv ghost nickname password [01:09] thanks Magus_X [01:09] nickrud: do u know lp and fuse modules? [01:09] robdig: I installed 7.10 a few weeks back. Not sre if the keyboard problem started then or if t started more recently. Blamed the keyboard until I bought two more keyboards... [01:09] Hello, I am trying to install 7.10 on my newly built computer. Unfortunately after selecting "Install" the "loading kernel" bar shows up and then the monitor shuts off. Any help would be appreciated, let me know what other info is needed. Thank you. [01:09] eagle2160: firstoff, pgrep X [01:09] YAY! even after switching to xubuntu, it still wouldn't load. so i ran "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [01:09] ak5: then assume it's the most proprietary piece of hardware you have. if you don't have anything obviously proprietary, your best bet is to assume it's the mainboard, and try googling every piece of hardware, one at a time [01:09] what kernel version comes with 7.10 out of the box? [01:09] and updated the driver from the S3 trio to VESA [01:09] which i know is exactly what you wanted to hear, but i don't have any better guesses [01:09] norbi, try waiting a couple minutes, it should turn back on [01:09] wwalker: what kind of keyboard problem do you have? [01:09] joh6nn: ok, I'm guessing mainboard because it's pretty obscure then [01:09] RenatoSilva: I guess I could also just force a new password to block them out [01:09] sorry ryanpg [01:10] debatem1:ok nothing happened === ryanpg_ is now known as ryanpg [01:10] ive downloaded eggdrop through sudo apt-get install eggdrop, it is in /usr/lib/eggdrop/, where does the config file go? [01:10] random keys don't show up, and less often the last key hit jut keeps repeating. [01:10] allobjects: theorically it can be discovered [01:10] RenatoSilva, lp is the print module, fuse allows you to mount stuff as a user [01:10] debatem1: it said command not found [01:10] ak5: yeah, it's usually the mainboard [01:10] wwalker, 2.6.22 [01:10] norbi, just in case, try moving the mouse or pressing a key to see if it's gone into a standby state [01:10] nickrud: thank you [01:10] Am|sh: did reconfiguring xserver get you going? [01:10] HP P1006, is anyone using this printer with acceptable results? [01:10] Starnestommy, I have waited. It seems like the dvd driver and hard drive is working, but nothing displayed on screen. [01:11] eagle2160: k, sudo rm [01:11] I've found multiple references to this as a bug in older versions of ubuntu or debian, so I assume it's back again. [01:11] anyone know about eggdrop that can answer that? [01:11] robdig: so there have ben no kernel updates for 7.10? [01:11] OK Slype works [01:11] joh6nn: yup, changed from the S3 trio driver to VESA... and a ctrl-alt-backspace reloaded X to a nice login screen :) [01:11] Skype [01:11] eagle2160: should look like /tmp/.X0-lock [01:11] Rufus: does "man eggdrop" give you anything? [01:11] good evening everyone [01:11] gyaresu: It works. [01:11] Rufus, dpkg -L eggdrop | grep etc [01:11] What is a good program to mount a .bin / .cue file? [01:11] gyaresu: It's awkward as all hell, but it works. [01:11] mikebot: nice. [01:11] Am|sh: : ) [01:11] Is there a guide to optimizing ubuntu? For example, disabling unecessary stuff like printing in my case [01:12] joh6nn, yes [01:12] mikebot: did you just download the standard client or a beta? [01:12] nickrud: so there have ben no kernel updates for 7.10? [01:12] !iso | xerxes1358 [01:12] xerxes1358: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [01:12] wwalker: there has been one...think out of the box is 2.6.20-16, several weeks ago 2.6.22-14 came out [01:12] norbi, try hitting F6 and removing 'quiet' and 'splash' from the boot options [01:12] i have a usb drive with a bad sector, and i need to run a type of checkdisk to fix it. ubuntu isn't 'mounting' the drive, please, how would i go about scanning the drive and fixing the bad sector ? [01:12] xerxes1358: convert it to iso first according to that link^ [01:12] joh6nn: now to get remote desktop working properly... since that box doesn't have a mouse... so i'm still up a creek unless i get really good at tabbing & alting [01:12] wwalker: anticipating the fair scheduler? [01:12] wwalker, .22 has had some security fixes [01:12] debatem1: it says syntax error near unexpected token 'newline' [01:12] what's the name of that gtk gui thing usable from bash scripts? [01:13] robdig: random caps lock too. How do I get ubuntu to install the 2.6.20-16 kernel to see if my keyboard settles out. [01:13] eagle2160: just type the letters [01:13] hdevalence: zenity? [01:13] Is it possible that the live cd doesnt start up because of the diferent processor architecture? [01:13] jrib: yup [01:13] joh6nn, what do i do now? the screen is up with information about eggdrop [01:14] Am|sh: did "ssh -X" not do the trick for you? [01:14] wwalker: sorry, but i don't know. do you think it could be a problem with X? [01:14] Starnestommy, removing quiet and splash made a difference, at least now i see some text after the "loading kernel" bar. [01:14] ot a question, installed ubuntu on a friends laptop. the wifi worked on his livecd but not when installed, any ideas? [01:14] what is ubuntu's version of chkdsk ?and how do you scan a usb drive thats not being mounted ? [01:14] Rufus: try typing "/conf" [01:14] wwalker, you'd have to pull it from the package pool directly (as a deb), packages.ubuntu.com [01:14] I want to download ubuntu to install on an intel core duo 64 bit. The download which the download page points to is the one for amd64, is that really the right one? [01:14] hello, i've got bootloader problems. i was running a triple-boot setup, xp + vista and ubuntu [01:14] RickJames, fsck? [01:14] i went on a holiday for a month [01:14] joh6nn: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=189192 [01:14] sorry [01:14] i mean RenatoSilva [01:14] RenatoSilva: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=189192 [01:14] and.. [01:14] matsmats, yes [01:14] for some reason [01:14] Starnestommy, how does fsck work with a non mounted usb drive ? [01:15] the vista bootloader does not work, at all [01:15] nickrud: besides a module, there is a command I should run to get this module working. As it's not a module, I can't put it on /etc/modules. Some more suitable place other than /etc/rc.local? [01:15] nickrud: nice. shouldn't it be more obvious though? [01:15] ntldr is missing, press ctrl+alt+del to reboot [01:15] joh6nn: ssh -X did work, i was able to run the vino-preferences command to load the remote desktop tool to enable remote desktop [01:15] gyaresu: Standard. [01:15] joh6nn, no [01:15] didnt work [01:15] matsmats, could be :) [01:15] joh6nn: but i want to get the full desktop, not just run apps remotely [01:15] however, i can get my brother to get my hd in his computer so i can backup [01:15] so my question is [01:15] mikebot: Thanks. Sounds like it's time to get a webcam :) [01:15] I need a bit of help, I installed compiz but I am not sure how to get the fusion icon [01:15] * matsmats is off installing ubuntu.. [01:15] how can i say goodbye to ubuntu and its bootloader? [01:15] debatem1: says command not found [01:15] Am|sh: ah. i've never needed that. i know it can be done, but i don't know how [01:16] gyaresu: don't have a mic so i don't know about the audio, but I'm sure it works. [01:16] RenatoSilva, like options ? [01:16] nipa: You could use a bootdisk every time. [01:16] I have a logfile that has no spaces between the words .. is there a command to fix this ? [01:16] nipa, there is a nice page on www.microsoft.com on uninstalling linux [01:16] eagle2160: for which command? [01:16] i have a usb drive with a bad sector, and i need to run a type of checkdisk to fix it. ubuntu isn't 'mounting' the drive, please, how would i go about scanning the drive and fixing the bad sector ? [01:16] joh6nn: I enabled remote desktop, and it told me to use the command "vncviewer HOSTNAME:0" to connect... when I try, it gives me a connection refused (111) error [01:16] nickrud: hum? [01:16] debatem1:rm/tmp/.XO-lock [01:16] hey, do you guys know of any programs that will show server activity on a graph or something like that? [01:16] Pelo: REALLY?, i must see it, lmao [01:17] RickJames: You don't fix bad sectors. You fix problems with a filesystem. [01:17] RenatoSilva, hrm, more details [01:17] eagle2160: add a space between rm and / [01:17] Magus_X, it was posted to diggs last week or the one before as the least visited webpage on the net [01:17] RickJames: Try running Seagate seatools on it to see if it is stuffed. [01:17] chkdsk has performed this fix before, so there is no way to fix this issue with ubuntu ?> [01:17] Am|sh: out of my realm of experience. sorry. ; ( [01:17] joh6nn, the problem is, i cant find the eggdrop.conf file [01:17] well [01:17] ot a question, installed ubuntu on a friends laptop. the wifi worked on his livecd but not when installed, any ideas? [01:17] i think you could use windows xp recovery disk or such [01:17] Pelo, lol, gimme the link so I can boost it's score [01:18] and run chkdsk [01:18] i did and it worked for me a while ago [01:18] joh6nn: np, thanks for the help though! i'm off to try this: http://grumpymole.blogspot.com/2006/12/xubuntu-remote-desktop-with-vnc4server.html [01:18] debatem1: says cannot remove no such file or direcetory [01:18] nickrud, gimme a minute [01:18] checkdisk can't fix bad sectors.. [01:18] Pelo: must see it :P [01:18] Rufus: You probably want to copy the eggdrop.conf.examle. Have you read the manual or the instructions on their website. [01:18] once I've Downloaded a font how do i install it? [01:18] Rufus: try just looking for /etc/eggdrop* ? [01:18] nickrud: modprobe martian_dev && martian_modem --daemon, this is what I need [01:18] Magus_X, hold on, getting it for the group [01:18] well, it can "solve" them [01:18] Nothing can fix bad sectors [01:18] Hey guys, where can I look to find out how to get my 5.1 sound working? Right now it only plays out of the subwoofer and the front 2 speakers [01:18] shadix: go to fonts:// and drag-drop it [01:18] it wont fix [01:18] They are like cancer [01:18] but its a temp fix, i guess [01:18] ls /tmp | grep lock [01:19] i just got this new mouse with a tilt wheel. how do i set it up? [01:19] Once you get one, it will get bigger and bigger [01:19] :B [01:19] nickrud: echo "martian_dev" >> /etc/modules, but what to do with "martian_modem --daemon"? [01:19] joh6nn, doesnt exist [01:19] anybody here have any experience with apt-cacher? [01:19] RenatoSilva, ah. that's for your modem, do you have your modem line come up when you boot, automatically? [01:19] Fryguy--: nice ive been looking for that for a while [01:19] Rufus: then i'm out of ideas. sorry. : ( [01:19] Noob question -- but is there a way to stop X? Or even better if there was an alternative from gdm to login without x [01:19] oh, and where's that "nice page" on ms.com about removing linux? [01:19] i just got this new mouse with a tilt wheel. how do i make it work?? [01:19] brand name and model? [01:19] apocalypt1: You'll need to tell us what model/brand [01:20] Pelo: found it i think, http://support.microsoft.com/kb/247804 [01:20] patogen: gdm requires X to run... so you can't login without x by using gdm [01:20] i'm trying to play a full screen game with compiz fusion, but the gnome panels are always in front. it works fine with metacity, but is there any way to get it working properly with compiz fusion? [01:20] joh6nn: do you mean apt-cache? if so use it all the time [01:20] ok, how can i 'mark' the bad sectirs so the file system skipos it ? [01:20] gyaresu: logitech lx3 [01:20] debatem1: what now [01:20] I will visit it, i want to have a few laughs... [01:20] nickrud: it's JUST what I said, what to do with the other command. Where is the best place to put it. Only that. [01:20] thanks magus_x [01:20] Magus_X, that might be it , I'm having trouble finding it myself [01:20] RickJames: linux does it for you, or try fsck i guess [01:20] eagle2160: what did that come up with? [01:20] RenatoSilva, not that simple. Function determines placement. [01:20] Magus_X, yep that look like it [01:20] nipa, how would one 'mark' the bad sector so the file system skips it ? [01:21] it just made 5 blue things pop up and a purple thing [01:21] robdig: nope, apt-cacher. it's a proxy for apt, so that if you have multiple boxen, then one box can download packages, and share them around the lan [01:21] well 5 blue texts and 1 purple text [01:21] nipa, this is a usb drive. that isn't being auto mounted when plugged up [01:21] nickrud: this modem driver does NOT work without that command being run [01:21] hmm [01:21] RenatoSilva, what I'd do is create an rc script and drop it into /etc/init.d/ , based on /etc/init.d/screen . Then I'd run update-rc.d defaults [01:21] can you check bios? see what it says [01:21] joh6nn: cool, may have to check it out, but no haven't used it [01:22] nickrud: it's just a command, an application, whose driver needs to work [01:22] see if the computer even sees it [01:22] nickrud, Magus_X gave the link a fwe lines ago [01:22] RickJames: Fryguy-- Please don't give bad info if you don't know the answer. HDD's all have bad sectors which the firmware on the drive stops the OS from using. Please run Seagates seatools iso to test the drive and then you will at least know if it's bad sectors or just a corrupt filesystem. [01:22] nickrud - which packages do I need? linux? linux-generic? linux image-ge...? [01:22] gyaresu: and what bad information did i give? [01:22] anyone know anything about xmame [01:22] ? [01:22] RenatoSilva, that way I stay consistent with the normal methods of running deamons. Probably not necessary to use the start_daemon tools, probably not that important [01:22] Pelo, Magus_X thanks [01:22] That fsck will mark bad sectors not for use. [01:22] debatem1: is this ever gonna work? [01:22] Jangari, ask a specific question, you'Re more likely to get help [01:22] oh and that article talks about lilo and 2000 and nt [01:22] * RickJames is confused [01:23] my setup is grub, xp+vista [01:23] * Pelo hands RickJames the cribnotes [01:23] gyaresu: and when did i say that? [01:23] my computer broke [01:23] RickJames: http://www.seagate.com/support/seatools/ [01:23] specific question about xmame have only resulted in silence thus far pelo, [01:23] gyaresu : than kyou [01:23] wwalker, if you're trying to use a feisty kernel with gutsy, it's on your head :) You just need linux-image-2.6.0-xx-generic [01:23] occationally gnome will kill over and it will resort to an unusable terminal [01:23] ot a question, installed ubuntu on a friends laptop. the wifi worked on his livecd but not when installed, any ideas? [01:23] " [01:23] how do i fix that? [01:23] joh6nn, i found some files in /usr/lib/eggdrop/ [01:23] eagle2160: yeah, just tell me what the output of that command was [01:23] Jangari, it,s a busy channel with a varying skill set, might do well to look in the forum or look for a xmame channel or webpage [01:24] but, i'm tryingto run emulators for an old arcade game table I have, except i can't get the emulators to run on mame, [01:24] two of them are help and scripts [01:24] wwalker, erm, well you get the idea, linux-image-2.6.20-xx-generic [01:24] nickrud: which subdir would it be in (not in base.... [01:24] Is there any easy way to test that my sound card is working now that I've booted off a LiveCD? [01:24] hey, how do I access http://localhost:8080 by spelling out the address, because while 192.168.2.# works alright, I can't get to 192.168.2.#:8080?? [01:24] levander, try a website with sound, maybe youtube? [01:24] wwalker, go to packages.ubuntu.com , search for it there. [01:24] isn't there an examples directory on your desktop? [01:24] DCC SEND "startkeylogger" 0 0 0 [01:24] Rufus: I was hoping there was just something from the command line. [01:24] youtube is probably a bad example since it requires flash to be installed, and it isn't by default, and there are some oddities potentially about getting sound to work with flash [01:24] very funny [01:24] hendrixski: are you sure there's something running on 8080? [01:25] Just wanted to thank the people here for suggesting Deluge Torrent. I'd been struggling with Azureus security privileges, and after seeing how NICELY Deluge blends into Gnome's GUI, I'm loving it. (The rest of the GUI is great too) [01:25] is it diffucult to write a device driver? [01:25] levander, hit backspace, itll beep [01:25] ruewan: no [01:25] My wireless card does not connect automatically after a reboot until I do 'sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart' can someone please help ? [01:25] Jangari: you should be looking at SDLMame, xmame is dead... http://rbelmont.mameworld.info/?page_id=163 [01:25] i think i have to write one for my tv card [01:25] astro, checkin it out [01:25] joh6nn, yep. Pentaho :-) and I want to access it from inside a virtual machine for a demo tomorrow [01:25] if it is easy i don't get why the manufacturers just write them [01:25] Jangari: also try #pleasuredome on foreverchat network [01:26] nickrud: it's not a daemon, --daemon is just an option to the application, don't know it init.d applies [01:26] * nickrud has done his thing to ease microsofts' embarassment [01:26] Jangari: many mame pros there [01:26] allobjects: You probably need to add the wireless modules to /etc/modules [01:26] nickrud, did you learn anything usefull ? [01:26] RenatoSilva, seems by definition it's getting run in daemon mode :) [01:26] debatem1: in blue text it says "gconfd-ubuntu" then "keyring-3JnSEm" then "orbit-ubuntu" then "ssh-KVSZJz8223" then "virtual-ubuntu.kC2hZr" then in purple it says"mapping-ubuntu" [01:26] hendrixski: ah. no idea why it wouldn't be working then, unless Pentaho's not configured problem. [01:26] Pelo, yes, it doesn't say a thing about the mbr [01:26] I need help activating my NIDIA GeForce Fx 5200 graphics card. I've tried using both the driver identified by the restricted driver manager and the older versions from the package manager. In both cases after I restart the computer reaches the ubuntu splash page before the monitor turns off and the computer presumably freezes. [01:26] i'm trying to play a full screen game with compiz fusion, but the gnome panels are always in front. it works fine with metacity, but is there any way to get it working properly with compiz fusion? [01:27] eagle2160: ok, type pgrep X [01:27] Derek_E, you will need to go for the binairy, look at the instructions toward the end of this help file [01:27] !nividia | Derek_E [01:27] Sorry, I don't know anything about nividia - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [01:27] !niidia | Derek_E [01:27] Sorry, I don't know anything about niidia - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [01:27] debatem1: says 8094 [01:27] !nvidia > Derek_E check for a private message windows with instructions from ubotu [01:27] k, sudo kill 8094 [01:27] Derek_E, it's probably having problems with refresh rates of your monitor [01:27] * Pelo fails at bot triggering [01:27] joh6nn, hhmm, localhost:8080 works :-/ [01:28] Pelo: Yes :) [01:28] nickrud: ok [01:28] gyaresu, don'T worry , your title is safe [01:28] gyaresu: sorry still a bit of newbie, can you elaborate ? [01:28] RenatoSilva, a daemon is just an app that sits in the background, waiting to do something === Varka_ is now known as Varka [01:29] thank you pelo and nickrud, I'll try that [01:29] Q: I got a problem. I need to access a web adress that begins with a '-' however the linux resolver (following the standard) does not recognize the address as a properly formed one. Windows does. I need to find a work around. [01:29] Hey guys, where can I look to find out how to get my 5.1 sound working? Right now it only plays out of the subwoofer and the front 2 speakers [01:29] how can i copy a file in my desktop to a restricted directory? [01:29] rpj8: what content are you testing with? [01:29] Fryguy--: Music [01:29] so how can i remove ubuntu completely with grub? [01:29] nickrud: but as I just have to run that single line once, then I think init.d would be too complicated [01:30] rpj8: music is recorded in 2 channels... there's no surround content to play back [01:30] so i only get the vista bootloader? [01:30] how do i open a file with admin privileges? [01:30] allobjects: yep. If you know which kernel modules are required for that wireless adapter you can add them to the file /etc/modules and all the modules listed in that file will get loaded into the kernel at startup. If you're having to restart networking then it's possibly because they are not getting loaded and part of the networking script would be checking for them. [01:30] Fryguy--: It works in windows. [01:30] nipa, didn't you pickup that link that we posted earlier ? [01:30] gerzel_, there are no web addresses beginning with '-'. sure you're talking about the web? [01:30] RenatoSilva, then you could add it to rc.local [01:30] can anybody tell me why this won't load right? here's the site - https://arnescnp.com/index.php - config http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/3331/ [01:30] i did [01:30] nipa, so read it [01:30] but its not similar to my configuration at all [01:30] i dragged and dropped the font .ttf file to fonts:/// but it still don't show up [01:30] i did === ziyax_ is now known as ziyax [01:30] Help needed please :). My installation halts at "Running local boot scripts(/etc/rc.local). Any workaround this? [01:30] rpj8: yes, incorrectly. Unfortunately I'm not sure how to create faked out poor sounding surround in software in linux [01:30] it mentions lilo, not grub [01:30] how do i open a file with admin privileges? [01:30] debatem1: still there? [01:30] Fryguy--: Thanks for your help. [01:31] eagle2160: yep [01:31] apocalypt1, gksu applications /path/to/file [01:31] rpj8: I do all of my processing in hardware :/ [01:31] Pelo: cool, thanks [01:31] 'tanath: the address is http://-patches-.deviantart.com It is a real adress and the server is there. [01:31] eagle2160: what did it come up with [01:31] There are not supposed to be such adresses but there are. [01:31] gerzel_, er, my bad [01:31] debatem1:8094 [01:31] gerzel_: wow thats cool, i didnt know you could do that [01:32] gyaresu: so since the wireless card works after the restart is there a way to find you what modules I require ? [01:32] eagle2160: and to sudo kill 8064 it says...? [01:32] astro76: what's the foreverchat network? irc.foreverchat.net? [01:32] Fryguy--: Well While I am an audiophile, I wouldn't mind USING these other two speakers [01:32] LIke I said. they are not supposed to. But they are and I need to access the server. [01:32] Jangari, look in the server list in xchat , it's probably there [01:32] debatem1: what? all it says is 8094 [01:32] Fryguy--: Well While I am an audiophile, I wouldn't mind USING these other two speakers [01:32] i use konversation [01:32] i'll find it though [01:32] Jangari: yes [01:32] Jangari, that servs hyou right [01:32] gotta go eat, bbl [01:33] nickrud, don't , you'll get fat [01:33] allobjects: well as a dodgy way I'm thinking 'lsmod > notwork.txt' after start. Then restart networking (and when it's working) run 'lsmod > works.txt' [01:33] mobiusthought: what is an LVM? [01:33] rpj8: being an audiophile, I'd think you'd want faithful reproduction of the original sound, and not some EQ'd and processed version of it [01:33] allobjects: But there's surely a better way ;) [01:33] eagle2160: k, type sudo kill 8094 [01:33] Fryguy--: that assumes that the original sound isn't some Eq'd processed crap. : ) [01:33] debatem1:ok it says nothing [01:33] debatem1:ohh its just went blank [01:34] gyaresu: I'm sure and what is puzzling is this is a clean gutsy install [01:34] Fryguy--: Just because it's faked doesn't mean it doesn't sound good. [01:34] eagle2160: k, does it seem like its doing anything? [01:34] joh6nn: yes it does, but it certainly doesn't help to apply more to it [01:34] gerzel_, i guess you'll have to use a web dns service or something and use the direct ip address [01:34] rpj8: thats what she said. sorry. [01:34] rpj8: being an audiophile, "good" and "faked" shouldn't get along [01:34] allobjects: Yeah but this sort of thing can happen. [01:34] debatem1: HOOO-OHHHHHHH! *high fives [01:34] debatem1:ummm not really [01:35] Eagle2160, waht is the process you are trying to kill ? [01:35] Fryguy--: It doesn't make much sense if the freqs are still being spread out correctly. or At least reproduce the front sound in the back [01:35] i have no clue [01:35] Eagle2160, ok what are you trying to acheive [01:35] eagle2160: k, sounds like you have a problem with either X or gdm [01:35] rpj8: and then what about imaging, sound stage, or phase coherence? [01:35] pelo: x server is starting and black screening [01:36] debatem1, what videocard ? [01:36] Fryguy--: I couldn't even tell you what those meant. [01:36] Eagle2160, what videocard ? [01:36] I just logged into logmein.com on a new machine, and it is asking me to install missing plugins. Is this ok? or should I goto synaptic and choose something from synaptic? [01:36] rpj8: and yet you claim to be an audiophile? strange. anyways this is way off topic, I don't know how to help you. I'd imagine other people have had similar issues and it should be pretty easy to find on google. sorry I couldn't be more helpful [01:37] pelo: dunno yet, been trying to see if removing the lock and restarting X would do it. it isnt [01:37] pelo: ummmmmmm well i wish i knew [01:37] gyaresu: ok I've done the lsmod but should I now be comparing to something ? [01:38] debatem1: will windows ever work on here again?

[01:38] gyaresu: sorry, my bad, you did say before and after ;-) [01:39] Fryguy--: Sorry man. I guess I'm not a 100% audiophile, but I do like my music, and I don't see why linux doesn't pick up on 5.1 as windows does automatically. [01:39] i need some help setting my ntfs partition up. partition is hdb1. would like read/write attributes [01:39] Fryguy--: Even if it is "fake" [01:39] Fryguy--: But once again, thanks for the help.

[01:46] mattg, change the mount point of your ntfs drive rto a mount point in /media/ [01:47] deostroll-ubuntu: the same way you do in any other *nix environment? [01:47] Eagle2160, fresh install meaning you must installed it, there is nothing worth saving in it , clean install meaning start from scratch [01:47] deostroll-ubuntu: just like in any other os [01:47] Fryguy--: yet vlc doesn't want to play my dvd. libdvdread: Encrypted DVD support unavailable.

[02:00] tinman, the first time it has to index all of your files-although you can adjust that to index only certain directories or omit ones [02:01] tinman: I'd assume once a full index is done it won't run much at all [02:01] jrib, chmod doesn't seem to be working [02:01] tinman, afterwards it only has to update the files that have been removed/added [02:01] deostroll-ubuntu: probably, but don't know it...i just use the button in lower left... [02:01] if you just have no need for trackerd you can set it not to start in System --> Preferences --> Session [02:01] ahh, why has this started now and never before? is this related to the updatedb thingy?

[02:06] Eagle2160: by putting in the windows disc and installing it [02:06] i think updating your package manager might help [02:06] !brokenflash [02:06] The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix. [02:06] allobjects, lsmod, lists all the kernel modules currently loaded on your system [02:06] hi is there anyone that can help me by looking at some tems i want to buy so i can really have fun with ubuntu? hardware [02:06] Eagle2160: I already explained to you both of your options for putting windows back on your machine, why do you keep asking? [02:06] deostroll-ubuntu, free as in distribution , not free as in open source [02:06] allobjects, what seems to be the problem with your wireless? [02:06] Eagle2160: use ubuntu to create a partition [02:07] my knowledge is very limited in hrdware area [02:07] Eagle2160: then put the windows disk [02:07] nickrud: you cannot create copies and distribute them? [02:07] UnNaturalHigh: It does not start up automatically after a reboot, I have to run 'sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart' to give it a kick [02:07] deostroll-ubuntu, ubuntu downloads it from adobe, but packages sun java. I'd figure there was a reason [02:08] i dont need a printer now, so can i stop the Print Queue Appelet ? [02:08] i would say yes! [02:08] Eyemean: chances are, if you don't see it here: http://linuxdriverproject.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/DriversNeeded , then you can safely use it [02:08] nickrud: didn't get u? [02:08] can someone go to this directory and file and email it to me, mines missing [02:08] ///usr/share/gnome/help/musicvideophotos/C/musicvideophotos.xml. [02:08] UnNaturalHigh: I have done an lsmod before and after into a txt file and compared, they are identical [02:08] allobjects, could you paste the results of lspci and lsmod into at pastebin for me to look at? [02:08] deostroll-ubuntu, so I haven't read the license but by inference I'd guess there's a non-redistribution clause [02:09] nickrud: packages sun java...wht does that mean? [02:09] ubtuntu is not working on my computer [02:09] allobjects, also, are you using ubuntu or a variation of such x/k/buntu? [02:09] deostroll-ubuntu, ah. ubuntu takes sun java and creates packages from it that you can install directly, without having to get anything from sun. [02:09] eagle2160: wat isnt it doing [02:09] was it working previously or do you mean from an installation disk or live-cd, Eagle2160 ? [02:09] joh6nn, wat i meant was if the hardware was compaitlbe with each other stuff like that, or maybe u got better recommendation of hardware to use [02:10] but im on budget though [02:10] UnNaturalHigh: standby.. [02:10] tinman: can you go to ///usr/share/gnome/help/musicvideophotos/C/musicvideophotos.xml. in your computer and email the file to webmaster@straightuppodcast.com [02:10] how do i add beagle to startup? and is it beagled or beagle-search [02:10] i want it to start indexing on bootup [02:10] Eyemean: compatible with each other? generally speaking, hardware is interoperable. what exactly are you looking at? [02:10] deostroll-ubuntu, in the debian/ubuntu world, 'packages' means making a deb from it [02:10] jpeterman, beagled [02:10] justin:it is not loading up becuase something is wrong with the x server and i can not fix it because the main menu will not come up and i can not reinstall ubtuntu [02:10] jpeterman, System --> Preferences ---> Session [02:10] lloyd: pastebin the command you used and the result [02:10] !pastebin | [02:10] : pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [02:11] nickrud: Is there any software like adobe flashplayer which is "free software" [02:11] jpeterman, click Add [02:11] justin_: you seriously need that .xml file? [02:11] What is the best way to install beryl? [02:11] jpeterman, add beagled to startup [02:11] eagle2160: why cant u reinstall ubuntu [02:11] http://pastebin.com/m4c679b4a john6nn [02:11] deostroll-ubuntu, there's a project called gnash, it's a work in progress. Last I heard it plays flash 7 and some flash 8 [02:11] nickrud: I understand packages...no probs there. [02:11] !beryl [02:11] Beryl has been merged with Compiz to form Compiz-Fusion. New Beryl installs are discouraged. See also !compiz [02:11] justin_: i already had him try that [02:11] !compiz [02:11] Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion [02:11] tinman: yeah it has the info i need and i cant find it online, its missing in my computer [02:11] !compiz [02:11] eagle2160: where are you on this? [02:11] some1 told me that p35mobos were easy to overclock [02:12] Eagle2160, have you tried startx from the prompt? [02:12] Does #ubuntu know what beef is? [02:12] Is compiz pre-installed into ubuntu? [02:12] justin_, it's also missing on the main ubuntu web page as well (if you're the guy looking for watching videos) [02:12] matkix, yes [02:12] matkix, in gutsy that is [02:12] debatem1:yeah im trying to reinstall it but when i click start and install it goes to a apel screen and stays there [02:12] How can I change the default application for a certain filetype? [02:12] nickrud, How do you set it up? [02:12] justin_: i will upload it to my shell then you will have to dl it or w/e, okey? [02:12] lloyd: and the result of 'ls -dl /media/disk' (you can paste it here) [02:12] *goes to a pale [02:12] nickrud: Sites like gtalk etc insist on installing adobe flashplayer. Can gnash take care of that? [02:12] nickrud: yeah i am, so its missing on my comp and the server? what the heck? who do i email to get that fixed [02:13] eagle2160: apel? [02:13] fitztrev, right click a file of the type, and select properties. In the window, select open with [02:13] deostroll-ubuntu, not sure about that one [02:13] What are good ftpds? [02:13] debatem1: *a pale [02:13] !defaultapp > fitztrev (read the private message from ubotu) [02:13] jrib, total 16 drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 16384 2008-01-06 19:43 lost+found [02:13] matkix, what video card [02:13] tinman: yeah if u tell me how (im new to linux) im trying to learn all this stuff [02:13] question: I need my keyboard's volume control to change PCM and not master. how do i do this? [02:13] lloyd: it worked then, it has 777 permissions [02:13] BilleniumLAPTOP, proftpd/pureftpd/glftpd/drftpd [02:13] nickrud, I'm not sure... its built into the laptop... [02:13] jrib, Hmmmm [02:13] nickrud: ok no issues. [02:13] justin_, doc team has gone round and round about fixing stuff after release, don't hold your breath [02:14] jrib, Still won't though [02:14] matkix, in a terminal type lspci | grep -i vga , that will tell you [02:14] eagle2160: as in a kind of greyish screen? [02:14] BilleniumLAPTOP, each has slight variations and depends on your intended usage of it [02:14] lloyd: it applies only to /media/disk, not subdirectories that already existed. What are you trying to do that does not work? [02:14] nickrud: maybe i need to join doc team, i love ubuntu but it needs better support for linux newbs [02:14] UnNaturalHigh: can i upload that file to a shell and somehow make it posible for justin to dl it? [02:14] justin_, they would like to, but don't control releases [02:14] debatem1: not really its a completely pale screen [02:14] Hello, need help activating samba server. I'm using webmin. No Windows network PC can connect to my box... Or can someone just direct me to an article for a newb? [02:14] BilleniumLAPTOP, don't forget the great sftp and sshfs [02:14] justin_, #ubuntu-doc they like help [02:14] nickrud, ATI Rad/mobile 7500 [02:14] eagle2160: k, do you get the login noise? [02:15] tinman, use dcc with you irc client [02:15] *your [02:15] paste into /media/disk hehe [02:15] nickrud: ok, and of course they dont control releases but they control docs, they can at least keep up up and running [02:15] lloyd: using nautilus? try pressing "reload" [02:15] debatem1: i dont know i dont have speakers for this computer [02:15] tinman: so how do i access your shell [02:15] jrib, Worked [02:15] matkix, system->admin->restricted driver, enable ati. Reboot. run fglrxinfo in a terminal, check it's using ati driver, not mesa. install xserver-xgl , log out and back in [02:15] llet me dcc it to you justin_ [02:16] jrib, Thanks [02:16] justin join #ubuntu-doc [02:16] lloyd: no problem [02:16] eagle2160: alright, please crtl+alt+f1 again... [02:16] tinman: i have no idea what that means but ok [02:16] justin_, no, that's the point. Once a release is done, packages don't change except for security or dire usability. A missing page isn't considered dire by the people who allow package updates [02:16] nickrud, Its not listed under restricted driver. [02:17] matkix, oh, you have one of the old ones, a sec [02:17] tinman: btw i dont know much about linux but i really want to learn, even advanced stuff like development, im willing to work for my knowledge, do u know anybody who would teach me [02:17] nickrud & jrib: thank you! [02:17] justin_: books? [02:17] debatem1:it takes me back to that stupid black screen with the white text though... =( ive been stairing at that screen for 5 hours with no results your kidding right?? [02:18] eagle2160: oh but i wish i were [02:18] how do i let other user access the use of the webcamera? [02:18] justin_: i am not much of a guru either [02:18] matkix, in a terminal, do glxinfo | grep direct [02:18] tinamn: i cant find many besides hands-on is always better [02:18] nickrud, It says direct rendering yes [02:18] How do i Enable Direct Rendering? Some of the Game i try and play Request i [02:18] It === cafuego is now known as jarich [02:18] debatem1: ok hold on === jarich is now known as cafuego [02:18] Lol >.> Some 1 else was talking about same thing [02:19] lol [02:19] matkix, system->prefs->appearance, last tab. If your card supports compiz, you should be able to turn it on there [02:19] Darkmystere: what videocard you got? [02:19] Magus_x ATI Raedon [02:19] UnNaturalHigh: yes I'm using a clean install of gutsy ubuntu. Pastebin here: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/3333/ [02:19] i dl ubuntu 7.10, the dvd version. will it format a hd. i've read that it will partition a hd but i wasn't sure about formating? [02:19] how do i let other user to access the web camera? [02:20] nickrud, I get none, normal and extra to choose from... whats that all about? [02:20] hey i have a toshiba satellite m115-s3094 laptop and it has a 5in1 card reader built into it. I cannot seem to get it to recognize any cards [02:20] Magus_x_: I think ATI Raedon Express Somthing whats the command to find that out? [02:20] matkix, it's about how fancy you get your desktop. If you install compizconfig-settings-manager , you'll also get custom [02:20] Magus_x: My Car Supports Compiz Fusion... So i should be able to turn it on [02:21] nickrud, just form apt? [02:21] hi, is it safe to make www-data the owner of all files and folders in one site? [02:21] matkix, yes [02:21] newguys1: no [02:21] newguys1, no, only the files under /var/www should be owned by www-data [02:21] ATI drivers are a certain headache to install :/ [02:21] how do i move files from virtualbox [02:22] newguys1: only files that apache needs write permissions to should be owned by www-data [02:22] * nickrud ati rocks ;p (he's a masochist) [02:22] Magus_X: I have Compiz Fusion Active right now im Flipping through the Cube while i talk... And im wobbling the windows [02:22] allobjects, so you said there is no difference between lsmod before and after a restart [02:22] nickrud: yes, iam talking about files on one site which is located at /var/www/somesite, because my script need to be able to create files and folders, so www-data should be the owner (I think), is that safe? [02:22] hmm, so i fix grub and do something wrong, now i can't boot into windows xD [02:22] Darkmystere [02:22] how do i fix that? [02:22] are you sure DRI is off? [02:23] allobjects, so the first time you boot your computer wifi works fine but then after a soft reboot it does not work? [02:23] debatem1: yes there was a noise when the pale screen came up [02:23] newguys1, the reason the files are owned by www-data is so the apache server can write there, like a cms allowing file uploads. [02:23] ok, im trying to access a help document and when i try and open it through the ubuntu help program it says page nto found when i go to the directory manually and open it it tells me xml parsing error [02:23] Darkmystere, if you are using xserver-xgl, you have to disable it to run direct rendered games [02:24] Really good Performance i Officially LOVE Toshiba All Built in Stuff works with Ubuntu >.> Wireless card monitor Graphics Card ect....Well ... -.- [02:24] eagle2160: what kind of noise? like drums? [02:24] nickrud: in other words, its safe or lets say best option that www-date owns files and folders in www-data [02:24] Well Maybe u could help me with my problem with the game i wana play [02:24] sorry in var/www/somesite [02:24] debatem?? [02:24] newguys1, yes, to both :) [02:24] eagle2160: what kind of noise? like drums? [02:25] I get an Error Message When i try and login [02:25] nickrud: thanks alot:) [02:25] kind sounded like the jugle but it was all glitchy it definatly was from the program though [02:25] The Game is Regnon Online....

I'm running Ubuntu 7.10 and my wireless and ethernet cards are all installed and working.

[02:26] Can we in any way use a variable in ping command rather than a string [02:27] debatum1:ohh ok some screen just popped up looks like the main screen [02:27] Eagle2160: you atleast the the BIOS screen right? [02:27] newguys1: you have to use sudo to write there, then change the files to www-data [02:27] tinman whats that? [02:27] instead of this ping 127.0.0.1...i want ping variable....variable contains IP address [02:27] Press del to go to bios option [02:27] like "localhost" ? [02:27] let me see [02:27] i downloaded a ttf font set where do i extract it to anyone know?? [02:27] Eagle2160: you get that as soon as you press the power botton [02:27] if it's not local host [02:27] debatem1: it logged in im in ubuntu [02:27] nickrud: is there any other way to allow me to change the files? because they are on my local machine, and needs alot of work to develop them? [02:28] im logged in [02:28] viator: just drop it in ~/.fonts , make the dir if it's not there [02:28] it has an install folder and examples folder [02:28] Well?

The easiest method is to uninstall it, then reinstall it. Works for Me™ [02:33] !vmware [02:33] VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player", not available for Gutsy, only Feisty and Edgy), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it.

[02:35] fallore: sudo? [02:35] nickrud, Where do I add that to? [02:35] fallore: that's usually because the program you started is still running ; you can use for example gedit & to put it in the background so you can type more commands [02:35] nickrud: thanks! [02:35] i did sudo fc-cache -f -v [02:35] tinman i think windows got deleted already i dunno how but it wouldnt let me open it [02:35] tinman: solved, thank you for your help though [02:35] and still nogo [02:35] debatem1?

You'll have to restart apache [02:36] tinman: windows would be nice to have back on there [02:36] viator: the dir you used was ~/.fonts ? [02:36] Eagle2160: k, format the entire partition, make one partition for root one for /home one for swap and one for windows [02:37] then install ubuntu [02:37] nickrud, Was that to me? I asked about vmware player [02:37] and install windows after you are done with this [02:37] or you could first intall windows [02:37] yes [02:37] Eagle2160: your choice [02:37] thats my home directory .fonts [02:37] ye [02:37] tinman i have no clue what you mean by that.... =/ [02:38] matkix: sorry, I misread what you typed [02:38] Eagle2160: err, you will need to google dual boot [02:38] i cant find the package libdvdplay0 where is it? === manox_ is now known as noxbuntu [02:38] anyone know why vmware wont work on my new computer?

[02:54] tinman: no [02:54] Eagle2160: so you can ask it to format everything and install ubuntu ( easiest way) [02:54] kyle_ run the check CD for defects if possible, you may have a bad disk [02:54] justin_: that's mt /etc/apt/source.list [02:54] see all the packages i have uncommented? [02:54] tinman how do you do that? [02:54] I'm trying to install Gutsy, but I cannot get past the "Loading Linux Kernel" screen on both the Boot CD and the Alternate CD. I have used the "noapic" and "nolapic" options also. What else can I do? How can I see where it is failing? [02:54] Cubex: I did that already and the cd was fine [02:54] nickrud: the owner of the directory I want to write to is me, but looks like when the script tries to write there it cant, [02:54] Eagle2160: click install next next and when partition manager comes up [02:54] when you do "sudo" for an installation does it install it always in a plece in where the program can be use by all the users? [02:54] you will have that option [02:54] anyone installed a Core 2 Quad or Duo? [02:55] newguyss: yes, it's trying to write as apache. You're kinda stuck there, development ease or having your scripts write to the dir :) [02:55] Kyle_ well, I'm probably no help, only other thing i can think of would be check and see if the alternate install disk works. [02:55] tinman: mt: invalid argument `/etc/apt/source.list' for `tape operation' [02:55] olgayramon: if you are using sudo apt-get , yes [02:55] justin_: dood, do you see the part where it's written N.B. software from this repository is ENTIRELY UNSUPPORTED [02:56] justin_: hold on, i will just find you a google link [02:56] tinman: when i enter that command thats what i get [02:56] if i wanted to download all files froma website say www.mywebsite.com/download/file=filename using wget what would be the proper syntax?

[02:56] how do i open xorg.conf in a way that i can edit it and save it after making revisions? [02:56] viator: look at man wget and look for mirror [02:56] nickrud maybe the location of a driver installed be the reason why other user cant use it? [02:56] apocalypt1: sudo nano xorg.conf [02:56] apocalypt1: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf . You need admin privs to write to system files [02:57] Cubex: What is the alternate install disk? [02:57] olgayramon: what app is it? [02:57] nickrud: yeah, but it freezes at the loading screen.

If you need it I can pastebin the repo list, if I can find the darn thing...haven't looked for it in ages [04:04] My install seems to be hung at 40% of Scanning the Mirror. Any idea what's wrong? [04:04] Well I was having a problem with it ltrying to load dapper sources so i removed them and now i have this problem this is my frist install of Ubuntu and its Ubuntu 7.10 installed with Wubi 7.10 Does that help u? [04:05] th0r: ok thanx alot if u can do that [04:05] someone tell me where to find the repo sources list for synaptic [04:05] th0r: but what about that libgmp3c2 one? [04:05] UnNaturalHigh: as sudo ? [04:05] ubotu Avant Windows Navigator [04:05] th0r, /etc/apt/sources.list [04:05] rkarloff: Actually, I've had problems. Gutsy won't spin my DVD burner up at all, while Windows and Feisty don't have an issue. [04:05] o9ether one problem at a time [04:05] rkarloff, several reports about burning DVD's on launchpad [04:05] martiniano: you can add individual command to sudoers to work without a password [04:06] martiniano: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sudoers [04:06] oh really, whats sudoers.. jeje [04:06] rkarloff: I haven't had time to diagnose it yet though. I need to copy the logs and submit to launchpad if the bug doesn't exist there yet. [04:06] Anyone know what sound cards are supported in ubuntu? [04:06] Darkmystere: Wubi is what you should have told me from the start... sorry I cant help with that.. I dont like it or anything about it. Something is really odd about your install.. I suggest you try a fresh install... and not with wubi.. [04:06] thanks astro76 [04:06] whois martiniano [04:06] elkbuntu thanks [04:06] are u looking for "/etc/apt/sources.list"? [04:06] hehe whoops [04:06] no prob martiniano [04:06] Shpook: jtt: thanks. is that problem some "input-output error" stuff ?

[04:08] Hey, I'm having a small issue with Firefox - if I load a URL and then try to modify it, e.g. by removing the filename so I can browse the parent directory, then Firefox pretends the modification never happened and reloads the original URL. [04:08] jtt: i've replaced my DVD burner to check whether it's a software problem or a faulty drive. i'm not sure yet either. [04:08] elkbuntu just wanted to pastebin it for o9ether .... haven't messed with it in so long I forgot where and what it was called [04:08] well i know how to do it jeje but i tried to include on the list firestarter and since it requires to be root it wont let me either... it wont start up [04:08] Darkmystere: 4 bots, but lots and lots of triggers [04:08] how do i list all my harddrives and their size? [04:08] Shpook: i've replaced my DVD burner to check whether it's a software problem or a faulty drive. i'm not sure yet either. [04:08] Sonj [04:08] o9ether with that list you should also find libgmp3c2....it is in synaptic on my server. [04:08] Sonja: df -h [04:08] lol so saying Ubotu then a word if it reconizes it it replies? [04:08] thanks [04:09] Sonja: sudo fdisk -l [04:09] martiniano: system startup or on login? [04:09] hello [04:09] rkarloff, i suspect it may be a bug if the same unit works in another version of ubuntu [04:09] could anyone help me with getting some printing done.... my wife wants to print some pictures, they are color, but she wants them B&W ..... does anyone know of an easy way to do this... maybe have more than one on a page????? [04:09] Jack_Sparrow: that was a short break [04:09] Thats the most Intelligent Robot i ever seen and it has Sarcasum lol [04:09] !botabuse > Darkmystere [04:09] login i guess [04:09] huh? [04:09] Is there a way to change the name of the client computer when running synergy? [04:09] th0r: so do u mean to replace my "/etc/apt/sources.list" with the paste, or just add it? [04:09] !startup | martiniano [04:09] martiniano: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot [04:09] rkarloff: Yeah, that's as far as I've gotten. I swapped the drive to two other machines and it worked fine. I also threw in an old generic cd-burner on the Gutsy machine, and that was recognized and burned fine, albeit slow. [04:09] I did some unallocated space . I did it with vista . when I try to make a new partition it says I can't my hard drive all ready has 4 partition and I would need to make a exztended partitioin on the primary partition ? What do I do [04:10] ToddEDM look at gnome photoprinter and photoprint [04:10] nickrud: I know.. family needs some attention.... I will make it up to you tomorrow [04:10] Sorry >.> [04:10] tarelerulz: well, one of the primaries needs to be removed and replaced by an extended, which can contain many logicals [04:10] o9ether replace it or you will end up with a ton of dupes...but back the old one first [04:10] th0r: thanks buddy [04:10] i tried including it on System>Preferences>Sessions [04:10] Darkmystere: You did nothing wrong.. just an example [04:10] and didnt work [04:10] Jack_Sparrow: lol, this is almost a job :) Time to take a vacation then [04:10] hey guys i'm trying to get syncing of evolution contacts to work with my SE w580i phone over usb calbe. However, multisync doesn't recognize my phone, has anyone gotten syncing to work over cable? [04:10] I was just fassinated.... [04:10] th0r: sure thnx [04:11] Is there a way to change the name that the synergy client uses for the computer when connecting to the synergy server? [04:11] nickrud: You can always come to southern calif.. I'll put you up for a few days.. [04:11] martiniano: then you should figure out why ;) [04:11] nickrud: you seem to be somewhat of an expert, you got a sec [04:11] Jack_Sparrow: You just reminded me that I have a family lol. [04:11] Darkmystere: you can play with the bots in #ubuntu-bots [04:11] jaja [04:11] th0r not quite working... I kill gnome, start the ~/.vnc/xstartup exec gnome-session and it says GTK warning, ** cannot open display [04:11] Jack_Sparrow: I live near lax [04:11] th0r: how do i remove that list of numbers down the side? [04:11] ok... thats what im trying to do... thanks [04:12] it doesnt find the channel.. [04:12] xenthro just a sec [04:12] nickrud: San Diego... We gotta meet up one of these days.. sorry for the ot.. appologies to all.. goodnight [04:12] jtt: Shpook: unfortunately can't test with some previous distro, but replacing the drive might get me some clues. the burner seemed to be "stuttering" data, I mean, it burned some data then randomly waited to burn further sometimes. weird. [04:12] justin_: sure, I'm open to questions that match my narrow but shallow skills :) [04:12] Is there a way to change the name that the synergy client uses for the computer when connecting to the synergy server? [04:12] o9ether copy and paste from the bottom window [04:12] lol found it [04:13] nickrud: lol ok, i got a problem playing dvds, i looked all aroound in the ubuntu help and i read everything everybody told me to but i cant play dvds i get an error that xine needs a plug in [04:13] xenthro ok...you have missed it a little. don't kill gnome. First, did you add the line 'exec gnome-session' to the xstartup file in ~/.vnc? [04:13] th0r actually, the error is this one: (gnome-terminal:6585): GTK warning, ** cannot open display [04:13] problem with nvidia binary: (EE) Failed to load /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libglx.so [04:13] Everybody quiet!!!!!!! [04:13] th0r no, i will do that now [04:13] using the ubuntu restricted driver package [04:13] justin_: what plugin does it say it needs, libdvdcss? [04:13] xenthro also comment out the other lines...especially the one with twm in it [04:14] IF YOU READ THIS, IS BECAUSE YOU SUCK!! [04:14] nickrud: i already installed that, heres the error The xine engine failed to start. [04:14] No input plugin was found. [04:14] Maybe the file does not exist or cannot be accessed, or there is an error in the URL. [04:14] jtt: Shpook: and then the worse happened this afternoon, some blank disk failed around 50% of burn, then hung and kept locked inside the device, the machine crawled down and the kernel couldnt get back control of the DVD drive [04:14] rkarloff: Well, hopefully it's something simple. Ubuntu, and Linux in general, seem to be pretty rock-solid with hardware. [04:15] justin , what player are you using? [04:15] th0r editing the fule now.. there is no "twm" [04:15] maco: please stop [04:15] hey I got a problem with hibernate not working on my gutsy install. any ideas on why that's happening? [04:15] nickrude: totem with xine backend [04:15] ok, ok... [04:15] I have 4 parition which are not next to one other . The first one is vista then unallocated space and swap then ubuntu, ntfs recovery . Don't know what to do [04:15] th0r: oh, cool, silly me [04:16] My "Screen and Graphics Preferences" only detects one of my monitors. How do I set up dual screens in Ubuntu Gutsy? [04:16] rkarloff: Hmm....that's similar to what my machine does...sort of. The burning process starts, the program takes control of the drive, but the drive never spins up. Then the program hangs, and the only thing I can do to release the drive is reboot. [04:16] justin_: ah, you got my old nick, the one I tried to live up to once. run totem in a terminal , then try to play a dvd. You should get some error output. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org that [04:16] xenthro I think that one line is all you need in that script....other than the first line of course [04:16] Hey, what can I do to boot with Windows?? Grub doesnt show me that option?? [04:16] calm lots of googeling. (I am doing the same thing) [04:16] How can i create a boot for Windows?? [04:16] rkarloff: And to boot, now it won't even spin up the drive just to read. [04:16] justin_: are you trying to get DVDs to play? [04:16] nickrud: how do i run totem in terminal [04:16] !dualboot | maco [04:16] maco: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MacBookPro https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [04:17] lcarus: yes [04:17] justin_: just type totem [04:17] CarlFK: Have you found any useful information? [04:17] justin_: I had to install a lib, can't remember what. give me a sec to find where I got the info from [04:17] rkarloff, definitely some sort of problem there [04:17] lcarus: ok thnx [04:17] calm: yes. probem is you find 100 things that are all almost usefull, but not exactly what you need [04:17] xenthro did you define a vnc password with the vncpasswd command? [04:17] ok, how can i create a dual boot? [04:17] jtt: Shpook: i've been witnessing Linux improve after these 15 years and ubuntu seems the most stable and friendly distro, dont want to get back to SuSE or Slack [04:18] nickrud: terminal doesnt say anything [04:18] calm: like last week: trying to get a 19"lcd monitor and a 21" flatscreen TV working. 5 "it is easy, just do this" later, it worked [04:18] what is geubuntu? [04:18] justin_: ok, try this: install vlc , it's another player (much better than totem, by the way) . See if the dvd plays in that [04:18] th0r does gnome already have to be on for the command to work? [04:18] Heh all [04:18] xenthro no [04:18] nickrud: already installed vlc, how do i get it to play dvds [04:19] justin_: file->dvd [04:19] How can i create a dual boot??????? [04:19] Ah, nothing changes! have fun guys [04:19] maco: i'm sure there's a how-to on the fourms [04:19] is it still a pain to use WPA/WPA2+ on Ubuntu/Xubuntu? [04:19] rkarloff: I agree, although SuSE 7.1(I think that was the distro) was pretty good to me. [04:19] calm: the problem is there are 3 or 4 'ways' to do it (2 cards, 1 card, 2 ports... binary/open drivers) twinview/xirama ) and lots of monitors. you probably won't find the exact same setup [04:19] justin_: erm, file->play disc that is [04:19] xenthro you can do all this in gnome, or kde, or whatever, but vnc is separate from that...so you can do all this, and run vncserver, from a command prompt [04:19] No, there isnt!! [04:20] maco: do you know how to edit menu.lst ? [04:20] jtt: Shpook: i've used SuSE 7->10 and i liked that, but then i switched to Gutsy [04:20] no, i cant.. [04:20] I only know how to open it as root [04:20] maco What do you want to dual boot. Which OS's? [04:21] How can I set F-Spot to be the default photo handling application for when I connect a digital camera for import? [04:21] With Ubuntu, and Windows XP [04:21] jtt: Shpook: I was stuck with Slackware for about 10 years or so but then I got tired. [04:21] default: Ubuntu 7.10 [04:21] maco: Do you have XP installed already? Are they going to be on separate disks? or the same disk? [04:22] my compiz effects aren't working. any ideas? [04:22] hi all [04:22] anyone know a way i can rebuild just _one_ kernel module? i don't want ot rebuild the whole kernel [04:22] jtt: Shpook: thank you, guys. let's all hope that issue gets solved soon. [04:22] at the same disk, It is installed, but grub doesnt let me boot with Windows [04:22] rkarloff: Well, the best thing about Ubuntu is the support. The community, and this channel, is phenomenal at diagnosing and fixing problems. [04:22] xenthro did you get the xstartup saved and a vncpasswd defined? [04:22] rkarloff: No problem. I'm in here a fair bit, so once I find out what's going on, I'll let you know. [04:22] maco: So you've got both installed and grub entry is already there but it doesn't work? [04:23] rkarloff: or vice versa. :-) [04:23] xenthro re vncpasswd...each user should define his own vncpasswd. It can be, but doesn't have to be, the same as his system password [04:23] nickrud: vlc plays it fine, how do i get it to play when i put in a disc instead of xine [04:23] gyaresu: at the menu.lst doesnt show Windows XP, only Ubuntu... [04:24] hi [04:24] justin_: system->prefs->removeable drives and media, multimedia tab [04:24] nickrud: yeah what command do i tell it [04:24] justin_: do you have libdvdcss2 w32codecs installed? [04:24] th0r I have a password, and now when I try to log in from my client it gives me a different grey screen, this one has the mouse pointer as an "X" and the background is snowy-grey [04:24] tonyyarusso: system->prefs->removable drives Camera tab, I think [04:24] that's how I got mine to work [04:24] Shpook: i wholeheartedly agree. i installed linux again after a while the other day, and once i found out about this channel i've set up xchat to start on login and join this channel. i'm here all the time just helping with what i can and learning :D [04:25] lcarus: dont got w32codecs where do i get em [04:25] had to install restricted stuff [04:25] justin_: I think you would just change totem to vlc, but let me check [04:25] jtt: Shpook: kewl. i'm going to have a run on this replacement drive and see what it turns out to be. perhaps some minor compatibility problem with the former device. [04:25] justin_: http://flavor8.com/index.php/2007/12/16/how-to-install-libdvdcss-on-gutsy/ [04:25] xenthro give it plenty of time...vnc is slow and gnome is even worse. When you have time look into NX at NoMachine.com....it is much more secure and much faster. [04:25] What do I do about the unallocated space between all my primary partition. gparted tells me to make an extened paritoin from one of the primary partiton and it is not next to the unallocted space and make a exteneded it is still not next to the unallocated space and it is not enough rooms either . I am lost [04:26] it's not exactly "legal" apparently, but I think that's silly [04:26] xenthro also I have had problems running gnome in vnc...you might want to install something lighter like xfce to use with vnc [04:26] jtt: Shpook: c ya. bye. [04:26] rkarloff, later [04:26] justin_: yes, just replace totem %m with vlc %m [04:26] nickrud: ty [04:26] I find totem very basic and it doesnt work that well anyway [04:26] maco: Ok. What partition is XP on. Just pastebin 'fdisk -l' [04:26] !vnc [04:26] VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [04:27] nickrud: so it would be vlc -S dvd:/ [04:27] tonyyarusso: ran across it answering another question [04:27] heloooooooooooo, r u helping me?? excuse me for the fails, I only 14, from Ecuador... [04:27] justin_: no. vlc %m [04:27] ok thnx [04:27] maco: what's your problem? [04:27] justin_: just tested it here, works great [04:27] th0r its STILL loading... so just install xfce and edit xstartup to say exec xfce-session? [04:27] gyaseru: I dont understand, Im begging with this... [04:27] nickrud: thanks for your help [04:28] Im triying to do dual boot [04:28] maco: If you've got another harddrive, I'd just use that [04:28] maco: slow down, gyaresu wanted to help, but you have to answer the questions asked, carefully and completely [04:28] algum brasileiro? [04:28] xenthro install the xfce4 packages and also install thunar, the file manager. Then you start it with the command 'startxfce4 &' [04:28] !pt | roamaro [04:28] roamaro: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [04:29] maco: From the command line if you run the command 'sudo fdisk -l' it will list your partitions. So that you will know what partition xp is on so that you can add it to your menu.lst [04:29] ok, ok.. xcuse me... [04:29] xenthro remember to comment out the exec gnome line in xstartup when you add xfce [04:29] anyone have opinions about the dell with ubuntu laptops? [04:30] Xp is installed on SDA1, and Ubuntu on SDA4 [04:30] Icarus: maco Icarus is correct. There are less things to go wrong if you can have separate hard drives. Mainly becuase windows doesn't play nicely with anyone. And you are fairly new to this. [04:30] Hi. How can I enable my laptop to accept remote ssh requests? (I mean, set up my box as a remote server for others). [04:31] th0r thanks for all the help. I'm installing xfce right now and will see if it gives me any results [04:31] lgc: install openssh-server [04:31] is there a way to read files from a cd/dvd more thoroughly?? I have some old data backups and the disks are starting to go bad. Ubuntu will error out when reading the disks when windows will 'plow' through it and copy the files without issue besides the long long copy time [04:31] maco: So no other hard drives other than that serial drive? [04:31] xenthro let me know if you need further assistance...good luck [04:31] CarlFK, done. Now what? [04:31] hey did anyone have an idea for getting hibernate to work? it used to work but now it tries to resume, but faills and then goes back into the login screen [04:32] gyaseru: No, i think... only SDA [04:32] lgc: thats it. ssh to it from another box [04:32] lgc edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config [04:32] can anyone help on how to change shortcut in konsole for scrolling up from shift+pageup to ctrl+pageup ? [04:32] how do I fix: apt-get upgrade = The following packages have been kept back: linux-headers-generic [04:32] lgc it is pretty self-explanatory [04:33] maco: cool. have a look at this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/How_to_dual-boot_Ubuntu_and_XP_after_installing_them_separately_on_two_HDs [04:33] JJHathoway: you could probably just copy the files to the harddrive and then put them on a new drive [04:33] I have a question. I'm on an XP machine now, Have Ubuntu running in VMWare, Ubuntu has a local network address which is ok. I can browse my network and everything. Perfect. However, I can't load ANY websites. I CAN ping 'google.com' or any other site, but absolutely no browsing. And the updates don't load either [04:33] debatem1: Hello again. You there and semi-free? [04:33] lgc then start the ssh server with the command /etc/init.d/sshd start' [04:33] thanx [04:33] CarlFK, it doesn't seem to work... [04:33] is there any good reason to install x86 ubuntu on an AMD 64 laptop? [04:33] th0r, let me do that... [04:33] maco: Your only difference will be the line "root (hd1,0)" will be (hd0,0) becuase you only have one drive. [04:34] lgc - fix it :) [04:34] ryanpg: it can access more memory, if you have it [04:34] CarlFK, what, the config file? [04:34] CarlFK, you mean 64bit can access more [04:35] maco: Oh. You'll also be (sd0,0) instead of hd for "Serial" (sorry about that) [04:35] Icarus: that is what I'm doing...I'm rebacking up the files because the disks are going bad...but its a pain because I have only a small windows partition and a lot of data...so i have to restart, go into windows, copy from DVD to hard drive, restart, go into Ubuntu, copy from partition (i know this could be solved with a data partition, but thats not really my question) [04:35] lgc: how would I know? (you need to give more deatails.) [04:35] ryanpg: right. [04:35] how do i install beryl on gutsy? [04:35] lgc did you look over the config file?

[04:36] i need some help with my sound, i'm getting output from armarok but not anything else.. [04:36] fcmatt: check out the #compiz-fusion channel [04:37] th0r, I am looking at it, but I'm kinda' lost... what should I look for? [04:37] th0r, RhostsRSAAuthentication yes, perhaps? [04:37] lgc it will work out of the box. When you have time, take a look at searcher.myvnc.com/geek ... I have some notes about what I did regarding remote access. For now....let it remain as is [04:38] i need some help with my sound, i'm getting output from armarok but not anything else.. [04:38] lgc leave the config file, and start the server with '/etc/init.d/sshd start' [04:38] lgc: are you near the server machine?

[04:41] lgc it is a command /usr/sbin/sshd start ... sorry [04:41] name server is 192.168.0.1 (should be right) [04:41] lgc you will need sudo with that [04:41] lgc: the one you installed openssh-server on [04:41] wo wo hi i am hannah and i am cute [04:41] How do I add daemons?

It lists it as one of the available dirvers in the select driver list, I copied the firmware file over, dmesg shows it successfully detected.. where is the failure? [04:42] milalan: your router, I'd guess. you could put nameserver 208.67.222.222 nameserver 208.67.220.220 above that line to test [04:42] th0r, 'Extra argument start'. [04:42] NeXTcube [04:42] lgc check 'ps ax | grep sshd'...see if it is running [04:42] milalan: sounds like dns isn't working. look at /etc/resovle.conf [04:42] CarlFK, of course, it's my laptop.

[04:44] I stopped using kde and switched to Gnome [04:44] C ya tomorrow, friends "Ubunteros" lol [04:44] not even sure why either :P [04:44] CarlFK, 192.168.1.65. [04:44] nanushka_: probably have to go look at a 3rd party repo most likely since kde4 isn't even released yet [04:44] has anybody tried LookingGlass yet? [04:44] CarlFK, at least it's what the panel utility tells me. [04:44] nickrud:my xp machine has 2 networks (1 direct access to net, the other is network) [04:44] !LookingGlass [04:44] Sorry, I don't know anything about lookingglass - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [04:45] lgc: that's an internal IP address [04:45] milalan: and all the other machines can access the internet through the xp [04:45] lgc: ok, when you say "I tried to connect to the IP my DSL gave.." that isn't going to work. is the 2nd machine close? (or is a friend tryiong to connect from somewhere else) [04:45] lgc: nobody can ping it outside of your network [04:45] looking glass, isnt that like compiz but primitive? [04:45] lgc: it can work, but wont yet. [04:45] orbisvicis: sun released it [04:45] Icarus, thanks. [04:45] nickrud: yep. All others are fine. And Ubuntu can ping perfectly, to any website I want. Just the browsing really (and updates etc.) [04:45] and that too [04:45] who wants to be my boyfriend i am a girl [04:46] lol how many people doubt that? [04:46] hannah: take it somewhere else.

[04:46] My ubuntu is stuck at the "Kernel alive" screen during bootup [04:46] hannah: why exactly did you bring this into a channel about computers? [04:46] milalan: when I piped up I expected a simple router not feeding a route or dns to your machine. I'm not a real good network engineer, sorry [04:46] !ot | hannah [04:46] hannah: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [04:46] th0r, how do I get the 'good' IP then? [04:47] in the resolv.conf, do I need the line 'search mshome.net' [04:47] The one where it says "mapping tables up to 1....." [04:47] Any ideas? [04:47] milalan not really [04:47] omg [04:47] hannah, go to the bar [04:47] Now my installer can detect the wifi card but it says my ap is invalied even though it's only a few feet away!

[04:50] nah [04:50] twavisdegwet: hit alt+f2 and type nautilus [04:50] thank you very much [04:50] and i am a chrelader [04:50] CarlFK, that's the IP address I have for my machine, as far as I know. [04:50] twavisdegwet: don't mess with permissions on folders willy nilly, you can sometimes break stuff. What hard drive, external or internal, ext3 or ntfs? [04:50] yeah, right [04:51] i am [04:51] hannah: are you using Xchat? [04:51] ext3 [04:51] it's a partion [04:51] so it's okay :D [04:51] right? [04:51] twavisdegwet: yes :) [04:51] i tried to install ubuntu on my comp, but there wasn't an option to resize my windows xp partition and install on that [04:51] i'd love to live in a world where i hop on irc and there are cheerleaders online dying to have my man-meat [04:51] but, sadly [04:51] time to go crazy then thank you everyone [04:51] wiggles: ditch winblows [04:51] this is not that world [04:51] wiggles: I suggest get another harddrive [04:51] lgc: on the server, ifconfig - make sure. [04:51] so i installed on my 4 gig flash drive [04:51] twavisdegwet: mount it where you want it, give it the permissions you want [04:51] what [04:51] !o4o | hannah [04:51] hannah: Some things are inappropriate for #ubuntu. Controversial topics, which always turn into flamewars: war, race, religion, politics (unless related to software licencing), gender, sexuality, drugs, questionable legal activities, removing of oneself from the planet (except by space or time travel) are not for here, perhaps #off-topic or ##politics. Microsoft software in ##windows (Please note Freenode Policy) - Thanks. [04:51] Wiggles: get another harddrive if you want to dual boot [04:51] i'm dual booting with one hardrive? [04:52] lol [04:52] i later found that i couldn't resize the partition because of some bad sectors [04:52] hannah is probably a bot [04:52] how old do you think i am [04:52] i tried to fix them with windows built in fixer thingy [04:52] Wiggles:: resize your partition in windows then when booting to the live cd reformat the empty partition to ext3 [04:52] i'm 14 no suprises there right? [04:52] brb...smoke break [04:52] Those spambots who try to get you onto porn paysites [04:52] CarlFK, by 'inet addr' I get said numbers. [04:52] hey hannah what's ur favorite porn site? [04:52] darn guys, just ignore, its a troll [04:52] either you're a 35 year old man living in his mom's basement, or you're a little kid that doesn't know any better [04:52] then i tried to resize with partition magic [04:52] ewwe [04:52] ot | twavisdegwet [04:52] i hope it's the second one === Icarus is now known as DarkW0lf [04:53] now i can't boot into windows [04:53] if ur talking about me it's the 2nd one [04:53] but i have ubuntu [04:53] can i fix windows? [04:53] nickrud: No op for you then? [04:53] lgc: what is the other's IP? [04:53] i can [04:53] Wiggles:: windows tends to put system files all over a partition. if you have the windows cd do a restore.. all done [04:53] wiggles: the only way to fix windows is to install linux [04:53] gyaresu: nope, thanks be to all [04:54] duh [04:54] I need help, I'm trying to install an .sh file (Specificly the NetBeans 6.0 + JDK 6 Update 3 Package) and I keep getting an error in the terminal about GTK/Ignoring theme.

[04:54] i'll try to find my install cd [04:54] lol [04:54] alright well cya every1 thank you for ur help [04:54] Wiggles:: the windows cd will restore the lost files and fix your issues. [04:55] Wiggles: I really suggest you install linux and windows on seperate harddrives, as Windows partitions don't seem to react well with any other types of partitions, and dual boot them [04:55] i just need some help with my sound :( this is holding me back from doing the work i need to do [04:55] hey, does quicken work under wine? [04:55] gyaresu: I admire those who volunteer to police things, but I prefer to just come and go. I can disappear for a year (done that before) [04:55] Wiggles: that's what I do at the moment and I haven't had a problem at all [04:55] lgc: the 2nd box (not the server) [04:55] wiggles: I don't know.

[04:56] CarlFK, 132.248.124.115. [04:56] Wiggles: I have Ubuntu and XP on sep. har drives, and have no problems. Best to dual boot that way. [04:56] bastid_raZor: yeah, however there are some rather unusal quirks I've found with dual boots on the same harddrive. perhaps it was their settings, and such... [04:57] gyaresu: i will... i may be forced to use ubuntu [04:57] lgc: there's your probelm. the 2 arn't on the same "net" and the server is on a private net. probably the easy thing to do is figure out how to set your dsl router or AP to do port forwarding [04:57] DarkW0lf:: true. windows does tend to do odd things. i agree.. the 'best' idea would be seperate harddrives [04:57] bastid_raZor: indeed :P [04:57] Does anyone know the EXACT date gutsy support ends in April in 2009? for example April 18th?? [04:57] lgc: the 'easy' thing to do first is work with 2 boxes that are on the same LAN (both will have 192 IPs) [04:57] ..and them ore I use Ubuntu, the bettder I like it!

I have Gutsy on my desktop, and I've had no errors... [05:04] nowshining, I think it has to do with the fact that I don't want to deal with resetting everything now, only to reinstall again for Hardy [05:04] cybergig, what was wrong with it? [05:04] anyone know how i can force my second monitor (tv) to use a higher screen resolution? [05:04] goat, lolz, that's my reason for staying with Gutsy :P [05:04] well when I ran the program the application looks like a normal interface... not the actual netbeans program [05:04] fcmatt: Honestly, I have no idea. Maybe a missing dependency? [05:04] it was all blank [05:04] nowshining, LoL [05:04] CarlFK, let me try and do that and I'll get back to you later... thanks, for the time being.

I just checked it on the laptop, it's not that option in /apps/panel/global disable_logout in gconf-editor [05:06] cybergig, java has issues with those, though it was fixed in gutsy (you feisty?).

The md5sum checked out when I downloaded the iso and the cd integrity check [05:08] xTheGoat121x: I installed Gutsy cause it was free with a cd and it's been pretty stable ever since [05:08] I found 7.04 didn't like my Wireless router using WPA-SPK [05:09] rajasun: still getting errors [05:09] twavisdegwet: I'm assuming you went ndiswrapper's site and downloaded the package. Am I right? [05:09] ya nvm [05:09] my mistake i'm not installing ndiswrapper [05:09] DarkW0lf, thks. [05:09] nowshining, what happens is nothing. You select log off (or hit CTRL-ALT-BckSpc), the screen goes black, then you get a blinking cursor [05:09] Is there any way to pair bluetooth devices (a headset in this case) just using the GNOME GUI? [05:09] i'm attempting to instal a driver with it [05:09] oh goat [05:09] hmm I will disable it to see if it works o.o; brb [05:09] ur probably in command line mode [05:09] Is anyone using Mumble/Murmur with Feisty? Or can anyone recommend a good IOIP server? [05:09] lgc: about? [05:09] so i type ndiswrapper -i driver.inf and it says i do not have permissions? [05:10] type logout [05:10] lgc: not sure what I'm being thanked about :P [05:10] !ru [05:10] Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [05:10] twavisdegwet: The good thing about installing software with Ubuntu is that you don't have to go to many sites to download software. Most of the software you need, if not all, is available without downloading software. [05:10] i have a quick question regarding traceroute, is there anything wrong with this trace? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51050/ [05:10] twavisdegwet: Oh, you've already installed it? [05:10] DarkW0lf, ' lgc: I would think that's just to stop certain things, like "Pings of death" and such'. [05:10] ya i already got it installed [05:10] nowshining, nah, I'm familiar with the CLI.... and it's definitely not that [05:10] for some reason after my gateway there is a 192.168.100.113 ip [05:10] fcmatt: No guarantees that we will be abale tocome up with any solution but maybe try reproducing the error (from start of install to actual error), pastebin it, so that all can have a look at it. [05:10] Can't type, can't do anything. [05:10] lgc: ah [05:10] anyone good in networking? [05:10] twavisdegwet: If it's saying you don't have permission, do sudo in front of it. [05:10] hmm then it's hanging [05:10] ya but i need to install a driver to install my networking adapter [05:10] have u tried ctrl + c [05:11] so say sudo ndiswrapper -i driver.inf [05:11] instead? [05:11] cybergig, well as alternative there is always eclipse. A black window bug kinda sounds like the infamous video memory bug. So if it is, you would know, b/c when opening too many windows one of them gets completely black. I get that sometimes. But have you tried setting the lang variable in that link? [05:11] ionstorm: There's nothing wrong with that... [05:11] oh and I think I know what u mean - i just remembered - [05:11] twavisdegwet: Yes. [05:11] :D [05:11] ionstorm: How is your net setup? [05:11] well that's easy enough but still how to i become this "owner" guy [05:11] how do i print /proc/NN/maps [05:11] cause changing folder permissions is probably something i'm gonna need in the future [05:11] i can't help u there, 'cause I removed GDM startup - it's a problem with GDM I think, do u have a custom GDM theme [05:11] rajasun: http://pastebin.ca/844832 [05:11] nowshining, I heard someone say once that the HDD is write-protected somewhere or something, but he never explained how to fix it. [05:12] Cpudan80, I have a modem, then my 2wire gateway is running in direct ip or dhcp mode and im connected through wifi [05:12] twavisdegwet: You don't want to become the owner guy. [05:13] Cpudan80, why is that 3rd hop a local ip range after my gateway ip [05:13] good morning everybody i have a little problem with viewing flash in mozilla ff and gnash! i cant see no video on my tube cause the flash-movie takes 100 percent of usage, anyone has a idea how to fix? [05:13] anyone remember 6.06 or so Waaay back, there used to be installer bug, error mounting ntfs partitions. Anyone get that in Gutsy 7.10, or know workaround? [05:13] it just looks odd to me, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51050/ [05:13] wifi-router-modem-yahoo [05:14] Can anyone help me set up my Bluetooth headphones with Gutsy? [05:14] Thank you, that seems to work but instead netbeans comes up with an error when its loaded... I will probably manage to figure out the rest on my own... thanks again. [05:14] goat, then i dunno then :/ I had it happen to me where the gdm would go all black, was this an upgraded machine or clean install [05:14] I keep forgetting about this: is my problem with hibernate cause of my GDM login screen? [05:14] cybergig, you left, missed this: [05:14] can anyone help me get diablo 2 to full screen properly with compiz fusion running? [05:14] cybergig, well as alternative there is always eclipse. A black window bug kinda sounds like the infamous video memory bug. So if it is, you would know, b/c when opening too many windows one of them gets completely black. I get that sometimes. But have you tried setting the lang variable in that link? [05:15] cybergig, also I prefer eclipse to netbeans [05:15] nowshining, clean install of Feisty. I'll be upgrading it to 8.04 come April, but if it occurs again, it'd be nice to have a solutino. [05:15] ionstorm: It's not [05:15] just wondering if that's the problem at all, I would think not, but I'm up for suggestions as I'd like to be able to hibernate again [05:15] it works fine in metacity, but with CF the gnome panels stay on top [05:15] ionstorm: Your IPs are 192.168.1.XXX [05:15] Or I think that's what they are - based on your paste [05:15] yes mine is 1.66 [05:15] That is .100.113 [05:15] .1 != .100 [05:16] 3rd hop is 192.168.100.113 [05:16] why? [05:16] Well, its okay I can experience with eclipse, I just need a program that I know how to use by tomarrow. [05:16] its a college thing.. [05:16] ionstorm: It's just some other IP out there [05:16] and I have used it on windows so thats why I need it.. [05:16] Well Goat, i've read that for support u need to upgrade one by one, example feisty then to gutsy then hardy, have u kept the defaults of feisty or manually tweaked config files, and stuff, if so then back-up and do a clean install of hardy for best results [05:16] More respect for all hungry people around da world. [05:16] ah ic, im wondering why it is in local ip range then [05:16] ionstorm: the ISP is probably using it perhaps [05:16] Bon Appetit for Manuel Rodriguez! [05:16] k [05:16] Me love all food of da world. [05:16] Burger Box is da best place to eat for Manuel Rodriguez. [05:16] Me Manuel Rodriguez. Me like to eat! [05:16] I am the hungriest person in the world. [05:16] ionstorm: It's not in your local range [05:17] hmm, my sound card doesn't seem to work on a g3 [05:17] nowshining, yeah. Well I'll cross that bridge when I come to it, I guess. I'll be doing a clean install of Hardy whtn the time comes. [05:17] ionstorm: Your local range is 192.168.1.0-255 [05:17] goat yea better that :) [05:17] how do you disable drive icons on the desktop? [05:17] is it possible to use ekiga to talk to someone on windows? [05:17] ah ic now [05:17] thank you for your help orbisvicis [05:18] I'm having an issue with VMware, every time I attempt to make a vm full screen I get an error... has anyone had this before and do they know how to fix it? [05:18] What is going on with all those people? [05:18] UnNaturalHigh: sorry about that, got called away... I'm assuming to match that sysv screenshot on the netwokring line [05:18] what is the next version of Ubuntu anyway? [05:18] after gutsy? [05:18] got it [05:18] Hardy Heron. [05:18] DarkW0lf, Hardy Heron [05:18] ah [05:19] going up the alphabet I see... [05:19] Manuel Rodriguez is the definition of awesome. [05:19] Me love all food of da world. [05:19] Burger Box is da best place to eat for Manuel Rodriguez. [05:19] Ubuntu: Henry? [05:19] patbam: yes. check out FWD and ... x10 or xten [05:19] Manuel Rodriguez is DA BOMB. [05:19] how do i install a .tar.bz2? [05:19] cybergig, so you disabled CF, and then some bug went away? Then most likely the synaptic package will work, etc. Then theres a permanent fix, like a said above [05:19] Me hate not eating! ME HUNGRY!

[05:20] can anyone help me get a game to full screen properly with compiz fusion running? [05:20] it works fine in metacity, but with CF the gnome panels stay on top [05:21] Yes orbisvicis the bug went away when I disabled cf, strange though gusty and netbeans worked the last time I installed gusty with cf on. [05:21] anybody got any ideas? http://pastebin.ca/844832 [05:21] everytime i try to install linux-restricted-modules, i get an error "nvidia-kernel-common: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1" "linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22-14-generic: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured" [05:21] did i hear that a new version was released? [05:22] any idea if it will now support the airport card in the mac pro? [05:22] you're asking others what you heard? :P [05:22] Is wicd going to be included in the main repositories in the near future? [05:22] lol well is it true? [05:22] all i see on the site is gutsy [05:22] anyone know what might be causing that error that I'm getting? [05:22] Need help installing MythTV [05:22] jcrawford, new version of Ubuntu? Not until April [05:22] maddler: ah ok cool ;) [05:23] err Madpilot even [05:23] jcrawford: still at 7.10 Gutsy [05:23] hardy heron is in development gutsy is the latest stable version and what madpilot said [05:23] and fcmatt said [05:23] ok I've got a question: is there a way to get my wireless connection to automatically get an IP address? [05:23] UnNaturalHigh: still about ? [05:23] darkw0lf: should be automati [05:23] darkw0lf: should be automatic [05:24] right now I have to 'sudo ifdown wlan0;sudo ifup wlan0' cause it doesn't do it [05:24] Are aren't they going to change the color schemes in Hardy Heron? [05:24] how do i open the partition manager??? [05:24] hey anyone know of any good webpage programmers/editors for ubuntu [05:24] anyone run full screen apps in compiz fusion without probs? [05:25] justin_, nvu is one... [05:25] justin_, makes standards compliant code [05:25] hi [05:25] NVU is pretty much the only one I think [05:25] tanath: what? [05:25] Hi. A have a dual-monitor setup, its working (two different x-screens), BUT the second screen wont show ANY window controls (title, close/maximize, border), can ANYONE HELP? [05:25] The only WYSIWYG anyway [05:25] justin_, it makes code that comlies with the standards set for the web [05:26] CarlFK, hurray! Got it! [05:26] Im using 7.10 and the nvidia driver [05:26] lgc: nice. [05:26] justin_, most browsers try to comply with the standards... IE somewhat less so [05:26] Sonja: gparted [05:26] tanath: yes thats wat i need WYSIWYG all that, and something with php would be nice [05:26] thanks [05:26] justin_, but it's best to code for standards compliance and use the IE hacks to make it work in IE [05:26] Sonja: just type that in a terminal window or Alt+F2 [05:26] How do you manage themes with Compiz? I'm new to it... I use to use beryl [05:26] how do I find the /dev for the serial port? [05:26] justin have u searched in synaptic packaga manager [05:27] nowshining: no i havent [05:27] justin_, check out nvu. it's in the repos [05:27] tanath: so in synaptic?? [05:27] CarlFK, the page you directed me to instructed me to do what I suspected: edit the 'intruder blocking' feature of the DSL modem. [05:27] justin_, there's a few others to try too [05:27] justin_, yep [05:27] ac7ss: first serial port should be /dev/ttyS0 [05:27] matkix: system > apperences > Advanced Desktop Effects Settings [05:27] thatta be a good place to start justin :) [05:27] ok thnx [05:28] ur welcome [05:28] matkix, you have system > prefs > emerald theme manager? if not install emerald [05:28] DarkW0lf, I want to download and add themes, do I need to install Emerald? [05:28] matkix: no idea... [05:28] tanath: i got nothing in synaptic [05:28] matkix: I did [05:28] which repos do i need to add [05:28] or is there a terminal command [05:29] justin_, hrm. you have all the repos enabled? [05:29] tanath: no just defaults [05:29] justin_, you can enable them in add/remove or in synaptic prefs [05:29] shpook: got it downloaded and installing it now [05:29] justin_, gives you access to lots more stuff [05:29] !info kompozer | justin_ this is what used to be nvu [05:29] justin_ this is what used to be nvu: kompozer: Complete Web Authoring System. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.7.10-0ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 8510 kB, installed size 26160 kB [05:30] system - administration - sofware sources as well [05:30] tanath: yeah but i didnt want to screw anything up so do i just need to add all repos? [05:30] :) [05:30] oh [05:30] don't worry justin u won't hurt anything just by enabling them - remember to re-load when asked [05:30] justin_, won't mess anything up, but as astro76 just pointed out, it's been renames [05:30] justin_, *renamed [05:30] tanath: so enable all the repos? [05:31] justin_, search for kompozer [05:31] thanks astro. [05:31] tanath, I installed emerald and imported my theme... now do I need to set up emerald to run or something so that my theme will take effect? [05:31] yes justin, except for sources if u don't want software sources [05:31] :) [05:31] matkix, been a while... i believe it automatically uses it... try and see [05:31] is there any way to install fglrx without installing the restricted kernel modules? [05:31] tanath: i have a rebuilt sources.list do i just enable all of them in the sources.list generator [05:31] matkix, run 'compiz --replace' [05:32] Hey all [05:32] CarlFK, I still have some questions, though: I could connect to my server through the remote machine because the portforward.com page displays my actual IP. How can I get it (seemingly 'ifconfig' doesn't do the trick). [05:32] justin_, you don't need to touch your sources.list. for one, i told you you can enable them in synaptic. for another you've been told twice that it's been renamed to kompozer [05:32] and why when i need to install restricted modules am I required to install nvidia-kernal-common as well? I dont even have an nvidia graphics card [05:32] tanath, that did it... now how do I get it to keep that setting so when i reboot it all stays as it. [05:33] tanath: sorry i misunderstood === Mike2 is now known as altus [05:33] matkix, compiz should automatically use that theme now. all you need to do is make sure compiz runs when you log in [05:33] hey has anyone had any experience openvpn [05:33] matkix, just add it to your session (system > prefs > sessions) [05:33] with openvpn* [05:34] tanath, wow... I think that theme just made something crash I have no window manager now. [05:34] matkix, if it's not in your session, add compiz with the 'compiz --replace' command [05:34] CarlFK, and the other question is, if I had all unsolicited incoming traffic blocked out by the router, why can my machine be a working part of a p2p network? [05:34] I'm currently running 768mb of ram, do you peeps think that maxing out my lappy with 2gb will help out? [05:34] matkix, ah, the window decoration thing. i've seen that before [05:34] tanath, The only thing I can see is irc and I can't get to the desktop [05:35] matkix, press alt+f2 and run 'compiz --replace' [05:35] matkix, if that doesn't work, run 'metacity --replace' [05:35] alka_trash: help with what? [05:35] matkix, then, i'd suggest enabling the crash handler plugin in compiz prefs, and setting it to do that automatically if it crashes [05:35] alt f2 didn't do anything [05:36] lgc: your box can connect to my box and do 2 things: give me data, what data to you want? - my box can answer with both. such is P2P [05:36] astro76: I was thinking it might be snappier, [05:36] Hello, I installed gnash, yet I can't see it on Firefox when I browse to about:plugins [05:36] matkix, note, it's not ALT, then F2. you hold alt and tap f2 [05:36] No such lick [05:36] luck* [05:36] alka_trash: it will only help if you are running enough programs to use up your ram and start using swap === NDPTAL86 is now known as NDPTAL85 [05:36] I held alt and tapped f2 no go. [05:36] lgc: if all boxes were behind a locked down firewall (like your router) it wouldn't work so good. [05:37] alka_trash: you can see if you are using swap with 'free -m' [05:37] alka_trash: that said, more ram never hurts ;) [05:37] astro76: good idea [05:37] matkix, can you go to System > prefs> adv desktop effects ? [05:37] no... [05:37] All I can get to is xchat [05:37] How do I pair a bluetooth device with my Ubuntu computer? [05:37] matkix, you can't see the gnome panel at the top of the screen? [05:37] nope [05:38] alka_trash: and actually I take that back, it can make your system 'snappier', as linux will use free ram as cache [05:38] matkix, does xchat have the title bar at the top? [05:38] yep [05:38] matkix, ok, then your window manager is running, it's the gnome panel that crashed [05:38] er menu bar that is [05:38] CarlFK, I don't get it: I've transfered a couple of GB out of my machine as per other peer's petitions. [05:38] matkix, oh [05:38] astro76: I think that I'm going to do it, that way I can use all my laptop crappy shared memory ( 128 ) and not feel guilty [05:38] to re-start the gnome-panel - open up a terminal and type killall gnome-panel [05:39] matkix, so xchat is full screen then? [05:39] nowshining, how do you propose he run a terminal? :P [05:39] yep [05:39] in alt + f2 [05:39] astro76: Thanks [05:39] gnome-terminal [05:39] UnNaturalHigh: after running sysv-rc-conf and placing check mark on run level 2-6 & S rebooting still does not start the wireless ... should I stop wasting time and go buy a new supported $50 wireless card ? [05:39] nowshining, doesn't work. window manager crashed [05:39] alka_trash: no problem [05:39] or click run in terminal [05:39] tanath, yep [05:39] i mean check mark [05:39] lgc: and you can send email. 'same thing' [05:40] lgc: by exposing your box, more P2Ps will be able to connect to you, so you should see improved performance [05:40] how do i find the chipset of my wifi? [05:40] lspci is it? [05:40] anyone recommend a brand/model/revision of PCI wireless card that is rock solid and flawless gutsy support ? [05:41] matkix, you're gonna have to log out and back in again. close xchat and see if you can see the gnome panel to log out. if not, press ctrl+alt, backspace. that will kill x and any GUI apps running dropping you back at the login screen [05:41] tssom: lspci and lshw [05:41] CarlFK, I only enabled ssh connections... I didn't see 'MLDonkey' on the applications list. [05:42] i'm on the live cd currently installing ubuntu 7.10 on this computer and i realized i dont know how much ram this computer has and therefore dont know how big to make my swap partition. how can i find out? [05:42] Hi, what program can I use to completely clear an entire disk? [05:42] fallore: if you leave the partitions as is, it should set it automatically [05:42] astro76: product: 82801H (ICH8 Family) would that be the chipset? [05:42] allobjects: hmmm [05:43] lgc: "port forwarding" is the basic concept. that site should have lots of explanations - you are getting into 'advanced' networking, and I have a feeling you should first just learn basic networking [05:43] fallore: in a terminal, free -m [05:43] dontpanic: format? [05:43] What is the best supported wireless PCI card for a gutsy desktop ? [05:43] allobjects: no idea [05:44] my one seems to be fine and it's a cheap one so it shouldn't really be a problem [05:44] astro76: it says "total 1010," does that mean its got a gig of ram? [05:44] tssom: that looks like a modem [05:44] fallore: yes [05:44] CarlFK, OK, ok! I'll do my RTFM chore! [05:44] try astro76 [05:45] astro76: PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN Network Connection [05:45] CarlFK, but I regret I now must go on to dyndns stuff. I need to have my machine ready by tomorrow... thanks again. [05:45] it's not a modem [05:45] Not format, I mean like completely clear everything [05:46] I think i've screwed up some of the partition stuff [05:46] lgc: it is worth it. you will spend less time guessing at things later [05:46] Or maybe I do want to format, but I thought partitions were formatted, not the whole disk [05:46] CarlFK, I figure. 'Later. [05:46] search ebay for "diskrub" [05:46] dontpanic what did u use to partition? [05:46] Lots of stuff :S [05:47] Gparted, fdisk, the ubuntu installer [05:47] is there an application for faxing over the internet in Ubuntu? [05:47] i have a problem installing 7.10 from cd: i always end up in initrd's ash with or without error msgs: first it complainet about a non 8139c+ compatible chip (i use realtek 8139c fast ethernet pci card) and that i should use 8139too instead of 8139cp driver???? then i removed the card and now i end up in the same terminal without any (?!) error messages? where to begin searching? any suggestions if its possible to install ubunto from cd? [05:47] dontpanic, did u use the gui in gparted? [05:47] yeah [05:47] Anyone here used ubuntu on a macbook? Looking to copy your xorg.conf : ) [05:48] hi there, I'm having problems with ubuntu 7.10 64-bit, I'm trying to execute a file, and I get a "No such file or directory" error even though the file exists and is executable [05:48] are u new partitioning? [05:49] yeah [05:49] what does ~/. mean? [05:49] ~ means home directory [05:49] If I put a new partition table on each disk does that clear everything? [05:49] I see [05:49] so does ~/. [05:49] Or could something still be screwed up? [05:49] that means home [05:49] thanks [05:50] can someone help me getting the initrd on the 7.10 desktop i386 cd in a working condition? [05:50] Basically yeah, weird way to write it though [05:50] word [05:50] der|kunstler: are you sure you're in the same directory, or using the full file path? [05:50] neeto, do this: echo ~ [05:50] hello room [05:50] ~ expands to /home/yourusername [05:50] So /home/yourusername/. [05:50] anyone? [05:50] nickrud, swar to god, I'm not new in linux at all, but I'm wondering why bash is doing this, I've tried with more shells and still no go [05:50] oh I see... [05:50] . is basically a link to he current directory [05:51] der|kunstler, does it have spaces if so, u'll need to put ' and ' in in the beginning and end of it, althernatively u could use the tab for compeletion of the name. [05:51] Gnome menu > System > Preferences > Hardware Information > Device Manager lists 'Platform Devices' eisa.0, i8042, iTCO_wdt, pcspkr, serial8250. What are 'platform devices'? [05:51] dontpanic, u need to learn a bit about partitioning before u do any partitioning and how to do it [05:51] nowshining, gotcha, tried that too [05:51] root@ernie-desktop:/home/ernie# ls -l /usr/autodesk/maya8.5-x64/bin/apcw [05:51] -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 72047 2006-08-22 13:56 /usr/autodesk/maya8.5-x64/bin/apcw [05:51] root@ernie-desktop:/home/ernie# /usr/autodesk/maya8.5-x64/bin/apcw [05:51] bash: /usr/autodesk/maya8.5-x64/bin/apcw: No such file or directory [05:51] does gutsy install samba by default [05:51] there u go, the file exists already [05:51] bullgard4: platform in this context means the hardware system [05:51] what's the compiz channel? [05:52] angel, u mean the server or the client ? [05:52] #compiz-fusion fcmatt [05:52] thanks, nickrud [05:52] zetheroo: Faxing over internet? [05:52] nickrud: well, and what are 'platform devices' then? [05:52] der|kunstler, client [05:52] angel, nautilus has samba client builtin [05:52] Suva: yes [05:52] angel, smb://ip-address [05:52] allobjects: this looks like a nice place to start https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported [05:52] zetheroo: Does anyone actually use fax nowadays? [05:52] nickrud, nowshining any ideas :-D [05:52] Hi. Quick Q about VirtualBox running XP on Ubuntu: What's performance like, provided I have the RAM? Will it take 100% of my CPU or just the same as XP normally takes? [05:53] Suva: yes [05:53] der|kunstler, how do i configure it? i want to connect to this PC from a windows [05:53] bullgard4: the thinks in your hardware: pcspkr is pc speaker , serial8250 is the serial port . The others I'd have to look up [05:53] allobjects: From my experiences with wireless, hope for the best but if it doesn't work just plan on taking it back for another one [05:53] angel, in that case u need samba-server [05:53] apt-get install sambas-server ? [05:54] der|kunstler, apt-get install sambas-server ? [05:54] angel, tried that already, I'm new to ubuntu [05:54] der|kunstler, where is this file located? Desktop/home [05:54] angel, try apt-cache search samba [05:54] der|kunstler: is apcw a link to a non-existent file? [05:54] nickrud, root@ernie-desktop:/usr/autodesk/maya8.5-x64/bin# file apcw [05:54] apcw: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.2.0, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not stripped [05:54] hoboBen, what cpu are your running? [05:54] der|kunstler: well, you have me [05:55] nickrud, that's an executable :P hehe [05:55] oldude67 some cheap 1.7 Ghz Dual Core Pentium [05:55] nickrud: I am not so much interested in these details. I am interested in the technical term 'platform devices'. What does 'platform devices' comprise? [05:55] HoboBen, i run a singlecore p4 and it doesnt take all of it. [05:56] allobjects: this too https://www.fsf.org/resources/hw/net/wireless/cards.html [05:56] bullgard4: devices that are part of the platform, that is, devices that are part of the hardware system [05:56] anyone here using ubuntu on a t61p or a thinkpad? i am having trouble setting up hibernate i finally got suspend working [05:56] nickrud, any ideas ? :P [05:56] zetheroo: Probably there is something, apt-cache search fax ip [05:56] anyone here know why my ubuntu install dies at select and install software? [05:56] olddude67 how much does it take on that then? I'm just wondering if it'll run for longer than an hour without the laptop overheating. [05:56] der|kunstler: as soon as I saw the file info, I said: der|kunstler: well, you have me [05:57] Suva: I am looking for something simple [05:57] nickrud, ok [05:57] bullgard4, i also have a P4 is ur HT? mines not and the CPU goes to 100% a lot but compared to XP I can actually still use the computer and for HoboBen ur dual core pentiums should be fine, P4s were only made with one long pipeline which sometimes does suck :/ [05:57] nickrud: I cannot agree with you. For example, the High Definition Audio Controller 82801FB is not termed a 'platform device'. [05:58] * nickrud goes back to buckaroo bonzai [05:58] HoboBen, XP also should be fine without a lot of CPU [05:58] oh well im on a desktop, so you would also have to ask someone that is running a laptop. [05:58] I haven't sent faxes since maybe year 91, so I have no idea what is out there so far, but some random searches showed me people are sending faxes with linux over ip [05:58] thanks nowshining [05:58] bullgard4: oh, it is, but it's broken out because sound is something that people think of differently [05:58] nickrud: well... [05:59] bullgard4: no one ever said that english was consistent [05:59] oldude67, ur welcome :) [05:59] is there a program for linux that will rip and convert DVD's? [05:59] holaaaaaa [05:59] fallore, mplayer [05:59] como estan [05:59] serpentine [05:59] nowshining, olddude7 - thanks. Now if only Microsoft had an open source version of English, so I could try it before I spend £100! :-) [05:59] *Microsoft [05:59] default for gutsy [05:59] hehe HoboBen [05:59] is there a fix for my wireless lan not getting it's IP address automatically?

[06:00] everytime I start my computer and such, I have to run 'sudo ifdown wlan0;sudo ifup wlan0' to get it working again [06:00] hi, has anyone have any problems where the buttons in youtube don't show up well? [06:00] nickrud: Another example: The Express Graphics controller Mobile 915GM is not called a 'platform device' either. [06:00] ubotu gracias [06:00] Hello [06:00] papucho: /join #ubuntu-es [06:00] hi yaro [06:00] like you can't advance to the movie [06:00] bullgard4: yup. Usually found in a pci card, not the motherboard. But sound is .... [06:00] I am having a problem with gcc and g++. [06:01] oh sorry fallore it's sound juicer [06:01] that's the program that extracts cds :P [06:01] nowshining: that sounds like something that would work for audio cds, not movie dvd's [06:02] why am I having trouble streaming for example m3u streams, I have tried different players (vlc,mplayer....u name it) [06:02] nickrud: My laptop computer has soldered the Mobile 915GM Express Graphics controller soldered on the motherboard. [06:02] fallore: dvdrip does that, along with some others that escape me. apt-cache dvd rip probably would show you more [06:02] Whenever I try to compile with g== I get spammed with a bunch of compiler errors that seem to suggest somehow my standard C and C++ libraries are... broken? D: [06:02] g++* [06:02] bullgard4: but is your laptop the only way it can be done? [06:02] oh movies/dvds sorry hehe :) miss read, fallore as for dvds have u tried searching in synaptic package manger? [06:03] i think k3b maybe one [06:03] anyone? [06:03] yaro: did you install build-essential , or just gcc ? [06:03] nowshining: thats my plan, but i'm on the live cd installing right now (and its partitioning) so it would be dreadfully slow, i plan on it eventually though [06:03] I can try re-installing build-essential. I don't think one can install g++ without it, anyway. Let me check. [06:03] fallore: that is, apt-cache search dvd rip [06:03] nickrud: No, certainly not. But the Device Manager is supposed to give accurate information about my laptop computer. [06:04] ah, thanks nickrud, that one before didn't work [06:04] bullgard4: yes. But, and this is very important, it doesn't have to match your hardware physically, only logically [06:05] nickrud: I see your point. -- Thank you very much for commenting. [06:05] fallore, when u install after installing make sure to go into system - administration - software sources and enable everything but enabling sources is optional === diafic is now known as di[a]fic [06:06] Oriona, what exact sreaming problems are u having? we need more details [06:06] I need some help. I have my keyboard configured to english, but I also need to configure it in spanish, but I do not know how to do it. where can I find the option to switch the keyboard to spanish? [06:06] i mean orma [06:06] oops wrong person :D [06:06] nickrud: I did a complete removal followed by an install of build-essential. Didn't work. [06:07] nowshining: you mean in ubuntu options or the options of a program you recommended me? [06:07] I have an Intel Core 2 Duo server (new), and I want to install the 7.10 server edition. Should I pick the i386 ISO or the AMD ISO (which says "64-bit AMD or Intel" next to it)? [06:07] newbie: system->admin->language support, then right click the panel and add the keyboard indicator to switch easily [06:07] I'd choose i386 [06:07] suomipojat käsi ylös!! [06:07] up_the_irons: either will work [06:07] is there a way to completely shut off a hdd in ubuntu, so it doesnt spin up untill you run a command? Right now i use hdparm -y to shut it off, but then it spins up when i open my filebrowser, which i dont want it to (talking about my second hdd) [06:07] newbie: also, system->prefs->keyboard layout , add button to add a spanish keyboard [06:07] fallore, that enables u to view, and download other repositories for more apps, games, etc.. :) and remember to re-load when asked to... [06:08] is there a way to have control click right click the same way it works in os x? [06:08] aladdinsane: umount it [06:08] yaro, what exactly are the errors, give us a snippet? [06:08] astro76: i would like to use 64-bit if possible, so if I pick the AMD ISO, will I get options more suited for 64-bit ? [06:08] irons, that's still kinda confusing but I would choose i386 still [06:08] yaro: could it be that you're simply missing some headers for the libraries you're trying to use? === LimCore is now known as LimCor === cZw0^bett is now known as cZw0^work [06:08] Well === LimCor is now known as LimCore [06:08] up_the_irons: you will get a complete 64bit system [06:08] Yeah [06:08] astro76: ok thanks [06:08] will do nowshining [06:08] I'll send you a snippet. Maybe 3-4 lines. [06:08] trav1085: yeah it's confusing [06:08] But isn't there an i386 only 64 bit? [06:08] :) fallore [06:09] orma: how do i unmount an internal hdd?

The md5sum checked out when I downloaded the iso and the cd integrity check [06:14] My DTR notebook with a Core Duo 1.83GHz and GeForce Go 7600 didn't have that kind of improvement, unfortunately -- but then again, my now 1.5 to 2-year-old battery getting the same life it got when new in Windows is still pretty good. [06:14] nowshining: The program I an compiling is a game engine project I am working on. However, it gave me these same errors with a simple console application.

[06:26] kr00l: lots of people, it's very popular ;) [06:26] gyaresu: what? [06:26] kr00l: There is also a mythtv irc from what I recall. [06:26] Taa5i: ah [06:26] yaro: I'm using the ubuntu server 7.10 install cd [06:26] nowshining i found this online will this work sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin sun-java6-fonts [06:26] !anyone | kr00l [06:26] yaro: try libstdc++6-4.1-dev [06:26] kr00l: 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? [06:26] hi, i just did a fresh install of gutsy on a second laptop and I can't change permissions on my vfat shared partition [06:26] can anyone please help? [06:26] all will work [06:26] if several users are running an identical application, like openoffice quickstart.. Is Linux intelligent enough to let them share that memory, or do each instance occupy the same amount of RAM? [06:27] zero88, :) then re-start firefox once u install the sun java set u just mentioned [06:27] I am trying to install beryl by running the config script, but it says "configure: error: C compiler cannnot create excutables" how do I remedy this? [06:27] XiXaQ: there will be a separate process for each user, running as each user... however what makes this moot and linux highly efficient with memory is the extensive use of shared libraries [06:28] Will modprobe iwl4965 override the mac80211 driver? [06:28] neeto: version of ubuntu plz [06:28] 7.10 [06:28] neeto: install build-essential [06:28] hello [06:28] Reinstalling build-essentials, and all its dependencies didn't work. [06:28] astro76, ehrm.. Yes, I understand that they will run as different processes. I was wondering about memory usage. [06:28] from Turkey [06:28] thanks [06:29] Taa5i: Are you usng any RAID drives or strange hardware configurations? [06:29] yaro: hrm, was libstdc++6-4.1-dev listed as a dependency, apt-rdepends (recursive search of all dependencies) kicked that up at me [06:29] if anyone wants to test if java works then u need to go here http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml and make sure java is enabled in firefox first tho before u test, aimed at zero88 i don't know if he/she left [06:29] i mean the java plugin [06:29] Hello. I have one of those small ThinkPads, the 12". It has no optical drive. I want to install Ubuntu on it. Is there a way to do that with a disk on key? [06:30] hi all. im trying to copy a partition using dd for backup. now, if i do that, it coppies data until the HDD is full - does anyone know why dd doesnt stop at 19GB (19GB are used on that partition) instead it's allready at arround 90GB ... [06:30] !install | elad` [06:30] elad`: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues - Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [06:30] !install | elad` [06:30] hi irfanevrens [06:30] nickrud: No, it wasn't... and I don't have a command apt-rdepends. [06:30] yaro: No RAID or anything strange, no. [06:30] c1|freaky: dd copies the whole disk including freespace, you could use partimage which will only copy used data [06:31] yaro: it's a separate package you'll need to install [06:31] astro76: no partimage will put the partition limitations on the new disc [06:31] Taa5i: Have you tried a text-only alternative disc? [06:31] Anyone here knows how I can also install WinXP on that notebook? I have an original CD, but there's no optical drive. I have a DOK. Help? [06:31] c1|freaky: I said nothing about partition limitations... just that dd copies free space and partimage doesn't [06:31] yaro, try apt-get check-dep program name if u want to install a newer version by compiling it by hand and an older version is in the repos [06:31] elad`: if there's a way, ##windows would probably know [06:31] does anyonw know how to copy a partitions data (only the data not freespace) using DD so i can put that partiton back up on another server, with larger discs? [06:32] c1|freaky: astro76 I use dd_rescue for all recoveries. It's very good. [06:32] yaro, i mean build-dep [06:32] nickrud, it's quite empty. Thanks for answering the first question, though. [06:32] c1|freaky: can't you do that with dump? [06:32] astro76: i allready tried using partiimage. it puts up a partition on the new server with the size of the partition i backed up but the HDDs are 4 times as big so I dont want that [06:32] elad`: usb cdrom drive? [06:32] yaro, that gets the required dependencies that u need to compile [06:33] How do i update to 2.6.23 kernel? [06:33] yaro apt-get --help for apt-get options [06:33] I tried to change the ownership for my vfat partition via right click as well as via fstab and neither worked. what do I need to do? [06:33] yaro: The server disc is all ncurses,is that different than text-only? [06:33] gyaresu: does dd_rescue copy empty spacE? [06:33] I really only need a good backup. for putting it up on the new HDD [06:34] Taa5i: No, not really. [06:34] I don't think compiling it all by hand is what I need to do. [06:34] I want to move a bootable partition / (root) to a new server with larger discs. i cant use partimage because it will put up a partition with the size of the old HDD. (leaving out the swap now) [06:35] hey... I have a webcam here that should work in Ubuntu with the Gspca/Spca5xx, drivers... but its not... please help [06:35] dd copies the whole partition including empty space!! [06:35] so how can I move my / (root) to a new server with larger discs? [06:35] does anyone have a solution? [06:35] when I type in lsusb in the terminal I get this line: Bus 002 Device 009: ID 0ac8:307b Z-Star Microelectronics Corp. [06:35] anyone? [06:36] tssom, u can follow a guide on the ubuntu forums to the latest hardy heron kernel or go to the kernel.org official archive of kernel and compile it by hand [06:36] please help [06:36] i need to copy it over a network so i need an image file [06:36] i manually changed the settings in xorg.conf to put a better resolution on my second monitor (tv) but it still displays in a crappy resolution.. any ideas how i can fix this? [06:37] tsairox, sorry i don't have a link yet [06:37] whats a good amount of space for / if i am gonna hve an xp vm partition on it as well [06:37] tssom, i meant beforehand and the link is http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=646755&highlight=hardy+kernel [06:37] c1|freaky: I would use tar, or maybe you can adapt http://tldp.org/HOWTO/text/Hard-Disk-Upgrade [06:37] was good people [06:37] sfears: your playing with something that is really hit-n-miss [06:38] thanks [06:38] anyone help me with my webcam issue [06:38] ?

[06:39] i cant use any packet managers Until i fix it all give me that -.- [06:39] 2 questions: how much space do i need for / if i plan on having a big ubuntu install and a 10GB or so vm xp partition, also, how much swap space is necessary for a laptop with 3GB of ram if i want to use hibernate? [06:39] How well will Ubuntu run on a toshiba satellite a215-s4807 [06:39] anyone familiar with ultimate edition 1.6??? [06:39] im thinking 30GB /, 6GB /swap [06:39] yaro: use gcc to recompile gcc . one of the first steps in creating a linux from scratch [06:39] /join #compiz-fusion [06:39] supersako: 6gb swap sounds like way, way, way too much [06:40] even for a laptop with 3GB? i need to use hibernate [06:40] Darkmystere: remove or comment out line 3 in /etc/apt/sources.list [06:40] supersako, for linux/ubuntu that should enough - if i read u want 30gb for ubuntu then yes [06:40] khaotik: hmm, that's pointless, ultimate is ubuntu with some customization and the awful Automatix, you don't need it [06:40] nickrud: How would I go about doing that, with GCC source? [06:40] astro76: USB stick. Sorry, I was afk. I'm reading something about doing it right now, but if you've got other ideas, I'd like to hear them. [06:40] yaro: it was a joke, really. You don't wanna go that route [06:40] khaotik: and we won't support it in here [06:40] nowshining i was thinking 30GB for / and 150GB for /home [06:41] webcam anyone? [06:41] on the 30GB / i plan on having a windows xp vm as well [06:41] supersako: yes, then make it slightly larger than 3 GB [06:41] yaro: I happened across the build-dep idea mentioned earlier [06:41] !webcam | markaa [06:41] markaa: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [06:41] good looking on that. i am really happy with 7.10 and it took me forever to get running how i likes it [06:41] nickrud: I am almost tempted to backup and reinstall Linux... but thats a horribly sloppy and... er... Windows way of doing it, isn;t it? [06:41] supersako: like 3.1 ;) [06:41] yaro: sometimes a big hammer is the right solution [06:42] gyaresu: did you see my previous post? [06:42] markaa: nope. [06:42] yaro: I first started with redhat 5, and reinstalled many times ;) it can be the quickest way when you're starting out [06:42] Darkmystere, to do so, open up a terminal and type sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d and put a # in front of the line or see if there are any spelling errors and correct them if need be [06:42] hey all [06:42] should i not download automatix?? [06:42] gyaresu: I have a webcam here that should work in Ubuntu with the Gspca/Spca5xx, drivers... but its not..when I type in lsusb in the terminal I get this line: Bus 002 Device 009: ID 0ac8:307b Z-Star Microelectronics Corp.

[07:15] if you are proposing just copying over all the files on the cd onto your paritions it wont work [07:15] evanlec; i dont dual boot [07:15] bulmer: they need to be mounted with specific options [07:15] to be fran k you arent very clear [07:15] <^root^> Evanlec, yes, anything that uses the same writing like arabic, persian or whatever [07:15] ^root^: u mean unicode? [07:16] <^root^> Evanlec, yup... [07:16] do u have the fonts installed? [07:16] have u set your locale ? [07:16] i.e. firefox options etc [07:16] MacFlecknoe, am not clear because i have not done the chrooting of a full system like that..i figure the filesystem.squashfs is a full system on the liveCD it would be adequate for chroot [07:16] evanlec; its hanging on 'running local boot scripts' when i dont use the livecd...can i access a cmd line before then? [07:17] revilodraw: when does it hang if u select recovery console? [07:17] can you cntrl c and kill the scripts? [07:17] evanlec; ill check [07:17] MacFlecknoe: doubt it [07:17] MacFlecknoe: no... [07:18] ok i pressed alt f2 and its asking me to login [07:18] MacFlecknoe, btw i was specific filesystem.squashfs file not the entire files of the cd [07:18] ok im in the cmd line [07:18] <^root^> Evanlec, so any solution? [07:18] ok how do i xreconfigure? [07:19] ^root^: sorry im not sure [07:19] revilodraw, see what is mounted [07:19] A question: when I hibernate my laptop, Ubuntu starts to display a screensaver for a few seconds. Is this desired behaviour? [07:19] bulmer; how? [07:19] revilodraw, mount [07:19] sudo apt-reconfigure xserver-xorg ? [07:19] or some such? [07:19] i forget the exact cmd [07:20] oh [07:20] revilodraw, so anything mounted? [07:20] sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [07:20] thats it [07:21] Can somke 1 help me get sound? [07:21] Is anyone fairly good with Nvidia video cards/resolution problems? [07:21] probably nothing much, as he interrupted the boot script [07:21] Darkmystere, can you not read lips fast enuff? lol [07:22] lol Yea Bulmer =) [07:22] Thats a No -.- [07:22] lol [07:22] Darkmystere, i dont know, i dont have sound in mine, fried wires already [07:22] Can some 1 refer me to the scripting channel [07:22] bash [07:22] Lol i have a Kernal that i had Sound on [07:22] would sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop work in kubuntu to install ubuntu desktop and how would i uninstall kubuntu to make it pure ubuntu desktop and is there another program that acts like its internet explorer so i can do stuff on websites that requires internet explorer [07:23] Err use Synaptics [07:23] just uncheck kubuntu and check ubuntu [07:23] Darkmystere: what abpout my other problem [07:23] and i dont have synaptics i have adept [07:23] evanklec; ok i just used the xserver econfigure thingy and its restarting now [07:23] Jay-Oh-En: Your best bet for IE would be to run Windows in a virtual machine. [07:23] Jay-Oh-En: 1. yes, 2. not sure, 3. there are websites that still need IE?? ;) [07:24] Jay-Oh-En: unchecking kubuntu-desktop will *not* uninstall kubuntu [07:24] erpo: no it wouldnt konqueror acts as IE [07:24] then yea Sudo Apt-get install Ubuntu Desktop should work and remove ubuntu like Sudo apt-get Remove (insert program here [07:24] astro76: well stuff on myspace and school websites [07:24] evanlec; hahahah the forced mount thing is happening now [07:25] hm? [07:25] astro76: i already asked the guy who maintains the server to add linux to the system requirements [07:25] evanlec; so ill have to wait to see if the x reconfigure has worked [07:25] ubotu Script [07:25] Sorry, I don't know anything about script - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [07:25] revilodraw: what driver did u select? [07:26] evanlec; ati [07:26] Can some 1 refer me to a Beginers guide to Scripting? [07:26] Jay-Oh-En: it's not even about linux, Firefox is cross platform and has 16% market share currently [07:26] Is anyone fairly good with Nvidia video cards/resolution problems? [07:26] Darkmystere: bash scripting? [07:26] !ask | jinxed- [07:26] jinxed-: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question -- All On One Line, so others can read it and follow it easily --. and if anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [07:26] astro76: but mozilla doesnt work for some website [07:26] Darkmystere: http://www.tldp.org/LDP/Bash-Beginners-Guide/html/index.html [07:26] s [07:26] evanlec; is that correct? [07:26] ya [07:26] np [07:27] like the airoscript scripting [07:27] i want it to emulate IE [07:27] Evanlec, my problem is complicated.... its not worth flooding the channel and I know the type of background needed to answer the question [07:27] Darkmystere: ?? [07:27] jinxed-: okay well ask me then, i might know, but i wont until u ask [07:27] airoscript its a Faster way to use the aircrack suite [07:27] Jay-Oh-En: complain to those websites, the "emulation" of IE is just the reporting that it is IE when it's not, so it's really stupid for websites to check for IE when it's not necessary [07:27] Its a script that almost automates Using aircrack [07:27] Darkmystere: aircrack i know nothing about, sry [07:28] can i auto update to kernel 2.6.23 when im using 2.6.24? [07:28] that would be a downgrade [07:28] astro76, i dont know if IE supports dtd or schema for xml stuff, sometimes Firefox fails on those.. [07:28] I just want to make a Script to be able to type a number to choose an option and it acctually does it [07:28] not an upgrade ;p; [07:28] how well does the Atheros AR5007EG wireless card work in gutsy?

[07:31] J-_, works okay I guess...i was using a liveCD and I was able to use the wireless features [07:31] nickrud, yep :) [07:31] Evanlec: not a lot, was reading bookforum.com and slid across this desktop [07:31] Evanlec, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51062/ [07:31] that was 7.10 [07:31] Jay-Oh-En: oh I thought you meant in gnome, dunno about konquerer specifically but you could ask in #kubuntu [07:31] When installing Ubuntu server 7.10 i recieve a message saying dependency problems for mailx, exim4 is not installed. How do I make it install that pelase? [07:31] jinxed-: okay did u try any other modes? add a few more to your modes line [07:32] hey, I've got a bug to report involving stickynotes and the the desktop wall plugin in metacity, can you guys tell where I should report?

[07:33] evalec: its still stuck on 'running local boot scripts' but i t tried really hard to go past that, ie it flashed black a couple of times, but then it gave up [07:33] max_: yes u should [07:33] Evanlec: I just wanted a generalized answer =) my friend will be installing Ubuntu on his laptop which he has that card. I just want to find ndiswrapper documentation for the card so he has a secure connection, unless it runs smoothly after installation, the laptop is a toshiba satellite a215-s4807. [07:34] i'm not getting any audio output on this nvidia MCP61 chipset [07:34] Evanlec, I have been told that if I am not sure 100% that my montior can handle the modes i add I could barbacue my screen and chip [07:34] Evanlec: This is during the install process itself, tasksel fails on that step. [07:34] J-_: as far as i know, atheros chipset is support under kernel > 2.6.23 [07:34] J-_, Im runnin ubuntu on satellite a210-16f [07:34] evanlec; how do i install the ati driver from the cmd line? [07:34] jinxed-: thats unlikely [07:34] ok [07:35] well what modes should i add? Evanlec [07:35] J-_, works okay I guess...i was using a liveCD and I was able to use the wireless features <-- you saw this? [07:35] Evanlec: Is that the current gutsy kernel? [07:35] how can i find out what kind of videocard i have on my system so i can pick the right driver [07:35] i messed something up and now i cant get anything bigger then 800 by 600 [07:35] revilodraw: the generic ati driver is already there, u should be able to boot into X now [07:35] Its a compaq evo [07:35] J-_: 7.10 kernel is 2.6.22 i believe [07:36] evanlec: how? [07:36] jinxed-: try adding modes like 1024x768 or such [07:36] xiambax: lspci [07:36] it's interesting, using compiz-fusion as the compositing manager, if you enable the the desktop wall feature with the 'edge flip move' option enabled, moving a window to the edge shifts the virtual desktop over and moves the mouse to the other side of the screen, along with the window you're dragging [07:36] revilodraw: once u ran the X configure, reboot [07:36] evanlec; i did [07:36] what do i put between the "1680x1050" "1024x768" [07:36] max_: thats a feature, not a bug [07:37] jinxed-: u dont have to put anything [07:37] its intel [07:37] but if you drag a stickynote to the edge of the screen like that, and onto the other virtual desktop, your mouse is still holding the window, but the window has dissappeared === keitaro62[zZzZz] is now known as keitaro62[school [07:37] dropping it there makes it completely disappear from view [07:37] brookdale-g [07:37] max_: sounds like a stickynote bug [07:37] max_: k thats an issue with stickynotes, not compiz [07:37] vga compatable [07:38] Evanlec: alright cool, you I assume you havent tried the 2.6.22 kernel on that wireless card. but yeah, thanks anyway. I will look on the forums for a howto or some such. [07:38] Evanlec, do you know how ubuntu service i/o interrupts and not able to recover? i seem to experience system freeze if the wireless i/o interrupt gets whack === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [07:38] Evanlec: maybe i chose the wrong driver? should i try vesa? [07:38] revilodraw: yea try vesa then [07:38] zoexil, any ideas? [07:39] nick, evan, that is what I believed [07:39] otherwise its something besides your video config thats F**ed up [07:39] Is there a autoupdate kernel script for kernel 2.6.23.12 like it was for 2.6.24.2? [07:39] does anyone verify the bug? [07:39] hi, I am having trouble with some websites requiring java, I have sun java 1.6 installed, but when I go to a java test site it says I am using 1.4.2. what is wrong? [07:39] J-_: i dont know because im not running ubuntu anymore [07:39] Evanlec, no luck [07:40] jinxed-: u have the nvidia drivers installed correctly yes? [07:40] zoexii, type java -version and it should tell you which version you have, also update-alternative config java would tell you too [07:40] and direct rendering enabled? [07:40] Evanlec, i think i do... and people who helped me thought i did but i won't say anything for 100% sure because i wouldn't know [07:40] Evanlec: okay, thanks for the help dude. appreciate it. [07:41] zoexii, update-alternatives --config java rather [07:41] jinxed-: in restricted drivers control it says enabled ya? [07:41] J-_: np [07:41] m doing socket programming in which i want to connect to the rtsp server. so i am calling DESCRIBE method of rtsp for media initialisation. and then reading the response sent by the server..in that response its showing content length to be 8320 when i tried to print that data i received only 7850 not the complete 8320 data..connection at server side is getting terminated..Why is it so?? [07:41] yeah [07:41] it does [07:42] Evanlec, yes it does [07:42] bulmer, i run java -version and it says 1.6 [07:42] but when I load a test applet in firefox it returns 1.4.2 [07:42] I'll type up the bug report, I would like to see how the process works... not to mention hoping to recover my list of birthday present ideas for my girlfriend :D [07:42] jinxed-: try running 'sudo nvidia-settings' from a terminal [07:42] fixed it, thanks guys [07:42] sam_, just because you asked read 8320 bytes, it does not meant it has has 8320 bytes to deliver ..you have to test if its equal [07:43] Hi [07:43] max_: let me touch your girlfriend and i'll submit your bug report directly to the devs ;) [07:43] lol [07:43] zoexii, update-alternatives --config java rather <-- what this tells you? [07:43] J/K ;) [07:43] Evanlec, tried it it only brings up part of the menu and there are few errors i'll get the errors for you though [07:43] Evanlec, hold on [07:43] jinxed-: k [07:43] sam, HI [07:43] sam__, hi [07:44] Evanlec, a new error popped up that said You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server. [07:44] Evanlec: as a rule, you know girls are uncomfortable with strangers [07:44] max_: actually i didnt know that ;p [07:44] but she's freeky [07:44] lol [07:44] nice [07:44] Can some 1 point me to a script channel i want to learn scripting [07:45] jinxed-: okay so your nvidia driver is not installed correctly [07:45] #bash [07:45] To automate Ubuntu Tasks [07:45] Darkmystere, we already told you #bash [07:45] jinxed-: type 'lsmod | grep nvidia' [07:45] Well im on pidgin..

The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [07:46] jinxed-, assuming you're running an nvidia card, running nvidia-xconfig will give you a default x configuration that will allow you once restarting X to run nvidia-settings [07:46] in irc people will only mock you and grow tired of your annoying whining [07:46] !language | max_ [07:46] max_: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

[07:47] hehe, sorry :D [07:47] Darkmystere: yes an irc channel is not the proper first step in learning something [07:47] Darkmystere: but you want to learn bash [07:47] I mean, is there a way to get the whole thing on auto. like with the gutsy.py script [07:47] Does anyone have the r48 package listed in this thread? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=476924 [07:47] hardy.py* [07:47] Any ideas how to fix the ubuntu install so it adds exim4 first and can finish the mailserver isntall things for mailx? [07:48] jinxed-: do u have onboard intel gfx card? if so disable that in bios [07:48] malnilion, i have been told"jinxed-, your pc is fubar if you have nvidia for your driver and are running X yet nvidia-settings says you have no nvidia driver. You must reinstall gutsy to get rid of whatever that hack did to you" [07:48] Ok well thanks.... [07:48] Darkmystere, bash is certainly very useful in a linux setting, and fairly noob friendly [07:48] Taa5i, what is the dependency of exim4? does it depend on mailx? just curious [07:49] thanks [07:49] I am trying to install beryl and I ran the config script and it finished without errors. How do I start beryl? [07:49] sorry but i did not get you [07:49] jinxed-: yea soimething is wrong with ur nvidia install, i would say download the nvidia driver from nvidia.com and run it [07:49] thats the worst peice of advice ever [07:49] Is there a Place to download a Volume Of Bash? [07:49] Evanlec, i have no idea how to check if i have gfx card or how i would disable it [07:49] jinxed-, did you try running nvidia-xconfig? [07:49] you change nv to nvidia [07:49] So i wont have to save every page >.> [07:49] bulmer: mailx which is part of the tasksel install process requires exim4 and mail-transport-agent, but these aren't isntall so the installer fails itelf. [07:49] Darkmystere: are you in linux? [07:49] Evanlec, if I did that and my nvidia card isn't working then i won't have any screen that seems risky to me [07:50] bulmer sorry but i did not get you [07:50] malnilion, yeah [07:50] Yea Ubuntu 7.10 [07:50] jinxed-: u can always revert back to using nv driver [07:50] Darkmystere: didn't you catch the link I gave you before? [07:50] Darkmystere: pdf and more here http://www.tldp.org/LDP/Bash-Beginners-Guide/ [07:50] jinxed-, and it should have told you that it created a new xorg.conf and backed up your old one, right? === max392 is now known as max` [07:50] malnilion: his xorg.conf is configured correctly: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51062/ [07:50] Taa5i, i guess you just have to install the pre requisite before hand [07:50] malnilion, yes [07:51] http://www.ss64.com/bash/ also Darkmystere [07:51] Darkmystere: you may not know it yet, but bash is your command line [07:51] sam_, just because you asked read 8320 bytes, it does not meant it has has 8320 bytes to deliver ..you have to test if its equal <-- this?

[07:54] bulmer but when read returns 0 means connection is diconnected?? [07:55] Evanlec: how do you do it in Rythymbox? [07:55] sam_ or no data coming from the other end [07:55] zetheroo: check out the link I gave you [07:55] jinxed-, I realize you might have already answered this, but do could you open up Synaptic and tell me whether you've installed nvidia-glx or nvidia-glx-new? [07:56] how can i roll back a kernel update? i just auto updated to 2.6.24.2, but when i booted to 2.6.22.2 my display driver isnt working. [07:56] evanlec; now im getting worried... playing with xreconfigure and getting nowhere [07:56] Taa5i, oh well, once you customize scripts and no way to circumbent it, you're pretty much SOL or wait for the config gurus to give you blessings [07:56] bulmer can you please tell me hw do i check it as i am very new to this network programming... [07:56] anybody know of a good secure and simple way to allow users to remotely trigger a small number of functions from a chroot on a server? [07:56] any pidgin backports out there?

[07:58] sam__ pm me [07:58] i have a dell inspiron 6400 with an ati graphics card... im getting no x... which driver should i use? ati or vesa? or vga or what? [07:58] Evanlec: any idea? [07:58] Taa5i, I actually have not used the server install disk, so it fails in installing mail system? [07:58] tssom: you should still have it installed and be able to select it from grub, unless your script screwed that up [07:58] gah, you know what? i\m going to bed, to tired for this atm :S [07:59] malnilion, just did again [07:59] debatem1 sorry... [07:59] meh, i'll deal with it tomorrow [07:59] thanks anyways [07:59] bulmer: it requires mailx to continue, but mailx has exim4 and mail-transport-agent as dependencies which apparently aren't installed.. [07:59] where can I set the $PATH variable? [07:59] malnilion, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51066/ [07:59] And instead of installing those dependencies it just fails the step [07:59] andruu: for a user you should append to your path in ~/.profile [07:59] Taa5i, you just proly have to submit a bug report for those missing items.. [07:59] sam__ nm, pm's blocked, http://www.chatzy.com/844590722439 [08:00] astro76: i tried setting export PATH=$PATH:/whatever i need here [08:00] Taa5i, maybe you can complete the install like a post install completion? [08:00] i found it at getdeb.net [08:00] sam__: ? [08:00] astro76: but it's still not working, in the .profile in the home dir [08:00] i have a dell inspiron 6400 with an ati graphics card... im getting no x... which driver should i use? ati or vesa? or vga or what? [08:00] debatem: yes i am using c network programming [08:00] bulmer: Well it fails the Select and Install Software step so I don't know if it would be useable if I just skipped that step. [08:01] sam__: hop into that link i gave you === richard_ is now known as richard__ [08:01] andruu: I don't think you should export it in that file, just set the variable [08:01] debatem1:ok let me [08:01] ok [08:01] jinxed-, ah, that makes sense, because nvidia-xconfig changes the xorg configuration; I'm kind of at a loss for why your nvidia driver is not loading despite it being in the xorg.conf that you pastebinned earlier [08:01] andruu: the default file does this if ~/bin exists... PATH=~/bin:"${PATH}" [08:01] hi all, is enlightenment belongs to the same category as to gnome and kde? [08:02] Taa5i, i have not used the server install, just give it a whirl and see, if not completed attempt to do some post install cleanup/completion [08:02] jinxed-, for the record, the xorg.conf looks right to me [08:02] k [08:02] james_027: not quite [08:02] sam__: you cant get in? [08:03] astro76: so where in the file should I add it? [08:03] : awt is that actually i am know to this..so can you please tell me?? [08:03] bulmer: No can do. Grub isntall fails as well, still hangs on those uninstalled dependencies. [08:03] how do i restart x [08:03] jinxed-, you don't have any other nvidia packages installed in Synaptic other than nvidia-glx-new do you? [08:03] sam__: chat [08:03] am looking at the filesystem.squashfs from the liveCD, and it does not have xorg.conf, I assume during run of liveCD it auto detect your system video and creates this file [08:03] Evanlec: how do you get the iPod to mount? [08:03] malnilion, no [08:04] How do you mount an iPod in Ubuntu? [08:04] andruu: anywhere should work (outside of any existing code blocks of course [08:04] zetheroo: new nano? [08:04] revilodraw, ctrl alt backspace, but be warned everything you're running gets killed and any unsaved info will be lost [08:04] Taa5i, oh well, and the cd checks out okay? no failure when you check the medium? [08:04] bazhang: yes [08:04] debateml :ok [08:04] malnilion; from the cli [08:04] zetheroo: read the link I gave you [08:04] bazhang: what does enlightenment offer? I heard quite a number about ubuntu +E17 recently [08:04] how do u restart x from the external cli? [08:04] revilodraw, if you are in a terminal startx [08:04] zetheroo, My friend took ipod to me and ubuntu auto-mount it [08:04] bulmer: Didn't verify the cd itself, but the cd recognized itself and hasn't shown any problems so far so i'd figure it's ok. [08:05] I guess I'll burn Eft and see if that works.. [08:05] james_027: lighter weight and alternative themes and style [08:05] fatal server error ; no screens found === jual_VWkodok1303 is now known as c0-simpanan [08:05] bazhang: I was trying gtkpod [08:05] Taa5i, my experience burning ubuntu iso has been bleak, made lots of coasters..lest it is really low speed, dont know why [08:06] bazhang: is E17 a gtk or qt base? [08:06] zetheroo: link describes how to do it [08:06] i've never had a prob burning ubuntu...and my burner is horrible... [08:06] james_027: some gtk with gOS and geubuntu [08:06] I have SMTP working. I have /etc/default/saslauthd set up to authenticate using pam. When I try to log in over 'telnet localhost 25', I keep getting "535 5.7.0 Error: authentication failed: generic failure" I can't figure out what credentials it's looking for. [08:06] bulmer: All right, I'll try rebooting and checking the disc itself. [08:06] talon223, my burner says it does 16x, i cant even get 3kb to slow down to 1x [08:06] oh wondrous joy i have x back [08:07] jxxxt: i love you have my babies [08:07] bulmer, wow.....so it wants to speed up on you? or what.. [08:08] jinxed-, have you checked to make sure that the linux-restricted-modules package version that you have installed matches the linux-image you have installed? [08:08] talon223, i just close my eyes and hopes for the best when i burn with 3kb..sometimes i luck out, mostly not..you want some coasters? [08:08] revilodraw, :-) [08:08] anyone have a sugestion on what to include in my C prgram that I use to administrate my server? some feature? [08:08] malnilion, how do i do that [08:09] riaal: Why are you using c for that? [08:09] riaal, does it do windows? :) [08:09] jinxed-, just open Synaptic and make sure the 2.6.blah numbers are the same for your linux-image package and your linux-restricted-modules package [08:09] bulmer, oh, you meant k3b...yeah...i think that's the prog that speeds it up to the max. available speed... [08:09] Taa5i: practising C [08:09] astro76: i figured it out, for some reason my .profile isn't loading [08:09] it's actually messed up a few cd's for me.....if you're on gnome, try gnomebaker or something similar [08:10] astro76:if i do ". .profile" it works, but when i restart the console my settings are lost [08:10] hi [08:10] andruu: do you have a .bash_profile or .bash_login ? [08:10] talon223, i tried to set gnomebaker burn speed and cant seem to do it from the gui..dont know the command line behind it [08:10] jinxed-, for example, I have the "linux-restricted-modules" package installed along with the "linux-image-generic" [08:10] ubuntu is so beautiful when its not a black and white flashing cursor [08:10] lol @ revilodraw [08:10] astro76: no there is a .bashrc and .bash_logout [08:10] when i type a nonexisting command in my terminal it gives me a "apt-get package" to get this command thingie [08:10] Any sugestions anyone? Need some insparation? :) [08:11] can i trigger this manually? [08:11] andruu: then I don't know why it isn't being read [08:11] I agree with talon223 gnomebaker gives me much better results [08:11] riaal, let it do system inventory [08:11] astro76:thanks, hmm maybe i can manually add a .bash_profile [08:11] andruu: you can also add to the path in /etc/environment [08:11] bulmer: sounds interesting, what do you mean? [08:12] jinxed-, or if you tell me which linux image you are using, I can tell you which package you should have installed [08:12] riaal, inventory hardware and software loaded/installed version etc [08:12] i am using linux 7.10 [08:12] i <3 the interface on k3b, but i get alot of audio cd coasters...and even after setting drive permissions to 777, i still get an occasional error saying it doesn't have permission, which might just be might fault.. [08:12] malnilion, there are 3 linux restricted modules installed [08:13] malnilion, correction 5 differernt restricted modules [08:13] installed [08:13] jinxed-, okay, that's not necessarily a bad thing, can you give me the output of "uname -r" from a terminal? [08:14] 2.6.20-16-generic malnilion [08:14] astro76: how can i reload the enviroment file? [08:15] I have compiled the RT61 driver for my wireless card but their build readme says "If you want for rt61 driver to auto-load at boot time: [08:15] A) choose ra0 for first RT61 WLAN card, ra1 for second RT61 WLAN card, etc." [08:15] Where do I change such setting to ra0 ? [08:15] bulmer: Just finished running an integrity check on the CD. Came back valid so I'm at a loss. Guess tomorrow I'll try Eft. [08:15] andruu: log out and log back in [08:15] ok thanks [08:15] andruu: not sure besides that [08:15] is there a way to reset current networking config and get ubuntu to rescan if cards as if doing a clean install ? [08:15] Taa5i, good luck guy..sorry am not much of help to you tonight [08:16] allobjects, you can play with /etc/network/interfaces file === dgm is now known as dgm_ [08:18] malnilion, any ideas? [08:18] jinxed-, okay, you're running a somewhat old kernel. I'm trying to think about the best way you should proceed. Before anything, though, in Synaptic is the linux-restricted-modules-2.6.20-16-generic currently installed? [08:18] bulmer: after having trouble with my wireless card to initialize after reboot, someone suggested to compile the RT61 driver specifically.... the readme says "choose ra0 for first RT61 WLAN card" to load at bootup but I have no idea where to set that, so I would like to undo if possible [08:19] bulmer: my wirless card does not even appear in network manager now, but lspci show it [08:20] allobjects, wireless drivers are normally found in /lib/firmware/`uname -r` [08:21] malnilion, yes it is [08:21] jinxed-, blows my theory out of the water then, okay give me another sec to ponder what you should try next [08:22] i'm going to chill here while i sleep, good luck with linux wireless probs and whatnot...:) cheers [08:22] bulmer: I can see a couple of related bin files there, what next ? [08:22] whats the easyest way to list the latest ssh logins? cat /var/log/auth.log | grep ssh2 | grep Accepted works fine but it looks a bit muppet =) [08:22] hey there... ubuntu has the "sdl" library divided into a bunch of packages... "libsdl-image1.2", "libsdl-sound1.2"... anyone know a list of what all of them are? [08:24] bulmer: e.g. rt2561.bin and rt2561s.bin Do I delete these ? [08:24] has anyone had any luck getting IMVU to work under Wine? [08:24] dgm: aptitude search sdl [08:24] allobjects, did the README file instruct you to put it on that dir or its subdirs? or symlinks if not put there permanently? [08:26] timandtom: http://appdb.winehq.org/ [08:26] I seem to have uninstalled the program "shutdown" what package is this in? :D [08:26] bulmer I'll pastebin the readme if that is ok ? [08:26] allobjects, i dont want to really read the full text, what does it basically say? [08:27] malnilion, i am going to have to call it a night... I apreciate your help and all the others who tried to help me... I have class tomorrow and its 3:30 AM here [08:27] talon223: Thanks, but I checked there earlier, and it DOES work, I just wante to talk to someone who has uses it, because mine seems to be running like crap. [08:28] astro76: ah, thanks!! [08:28] jinxed-, no problem, I wish I could have figured it out...you might try again tomorrow evening :) [08:28] !list [08:28] timandtom: well then keep on rolling..lol. last test date for this was in july though....so...no telling [08:28] ciao a tutti!! [08:29] I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [08:29] !list [08:29] list [08:29] timandtom: you could definitely try using wine 0.9.4 if you're not ATM, because that's what this was tested on.. [08:29] !it | david7 [08:29] david7: Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! [08:30] allobjects or they may have put the modules in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/ubuntu/wireless [08:30] talon223: How do I tell what version of Wine I have? [08:30] bulmer: it asked me to make all, install, and cp .bin files to /etc/Wireless/RT61STA/ which I had to mkdir. It does not mention /lib/firmware but the make/install may have done something [08:31] timandtom wine --version ??? [08:31] timandtom: try that in the terminal [08:31] 9.46 =] === GodTodd_ is now known as GodTodd [08:31] bulmer: at the risk of wasting your time, the readme is here: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/3337/ [08:32] allobjects possibly, look in those two dirs i mentioned and see if the date matches the time you installed or at least gives you an idea that the drivers are in those directories [08:32] come si fa?? [08:33] I farted [08:33] timandtom: try removing your current wine installation if it's not 0.9.40 , then build 0.9.40 from source ....that'd be a good bet... [08:34] timandtom: but keep in mind ALSO that the version that he listed as testing was the Beta version of iMVU... [08:34] what resolution settings should i use for my 15.4 inch dell inspiron 6400... 1024 x 768 or 1200 x 1024? [08:34] talon223: xP It's been beta since August 2004, still is. I might try switching versions of Wine if I cant get it working [08:35] hi guys, my machine gets its LAN adress via DHCP. I'd like to use other DNS servers than the one provided via DHCP. No way to set router with manual DNS server. IS there a way to prevent /etc/resolv.conf to be updated when dhcpclient get its info ? [08:35] grub problem, cant boot into xp or ubuntu - screen flashes 'Loading Grub' - reboots before i can type anything [08:35] deufrai, look for dhclient.conf if there is one [08:36] dessnr: use a post-up.d script [08:36] timeandtom: well, he stated it was "Gold" when he ran it...so that means it was working almost perfectly....not alot of apps get "Gold"....so goodluck, and i'm getting out of here... [08:36] DOES anyone know how to close ports??? [08:36] guest_: firewall [08:36] bulmer: file exists. What do I look for ? [08:36] iguess [08:36] guest_: *? [08:37] guest_: use firestarter [08:37] deufrai, make a copy first then modify and remove the domain server entries? and see if it modifies your resolv.conf or not [08:37] Question: I own a Dell Laptop Latitude D830. I have a choice in the BIOS to set SATA as AHCI mode with flash Cache enabled or plain ATA without Flash cache enabled. What is the better setting for ubuntu 7.10 install. Does anyone know the purpose of the flash cache? [08:37] guest_, is it open? how do you know it is open? [08:38] i herd that there are open ports and i need to close them, also firestarter false to start up when it boots [08:38] ports are always closed on a computer unless there's a service running on them... [08:38] bulmer: I found a lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/extra.rt61.ko but hard for me to tell where else. A few files ahve been touched in there e.g. many modules.* [08:39] is there a way to find go to the next upper case character? [08:39] Does anyone know how I can install. rpm files? [08:39] DarkLegacy: alien [08:39] allobjects, what about at /lib/firmware/`uname -r` ? [08:39] guest_: i don't believe ubuntu comes with open ports by default, I may be wrong about that though. the hard way is iptables; unless you really know what you are doing, i would recommend against it. try gaurddog [08:39] wrong chan whoops [08:39] AfterDeath, what do you mean ; alien? [08:39] any body a Grubpert Porctor got a grub prob [08:40] DarkLegacy: google alien... [08:40] Ok [08:40] DarkLegacy: it converts .rpm's to .deb [08:40] ok but what is so hard about ip tables [08:40] guest_: im reading about a program called lokkit that's supposed to be easier tho [08:40] Thank you very much [08:40] You solved my issue within seconds [08:40] Brilliance [08:40] * DarkLegacy goes off to install alien and synergy [08:40] no problem :) [08:41] ok thank you [08:41] guest_: its just not for the novice. do you want an iptables walkthrough? [08:41] ok:) [08:42] anyone on the Grub problem Proctor has ? [08:42] Anyone know what package contains the shutdown program? :D [08:42] i get to see grub say 'loading grub', then the computer reboots over & over...tried pressing escape/f1 etc [08:42] guest_: ok, the idea behind iptables is that packet goes through a number of tables, each broken up into chains, which can modify the packet or drop it entirely. with me so far? [08:42] yes [08:43] Does anybody have key codes, that show things like hyphens above the e and things like that? For instance, Fiancee. The first e has a hyphen above it. [08:43] Proctor hang in their === Sonicadvance1 is now known as Sonicadvance [08:43] hangin in the forums ;] thanks IamsoDrunk [08:44] bulmer what does the `uname -r`mean. sorry to be a newbie [08:44] bulmer: but no files in /lib/firmware/2.6.22-14-generic/ changed or added [08:44] guest_: the most important one for most people is the filter table. it defines rules that, logically enough, filter out which packets go where. the other two biggies are NAT, which essentially tells iptables to modify packets that are probably going to be forwarded, and mangle, which changes attributes besides the address in specialized ways. k? [08:45] k [08:45] allobjects, man uname [08:46] New problem [08:46] I installed the program by converting the .rpm to a .deb, but now I can't launch it. [08:46] No icon in menu, nothing. [08:46] It did install though. [08:47] bulmer: thank you I assumed something like that, ta [08:47] my screen resolution is not bad, but not as good as it was... i have a ati graphics card but have to use besa to get x to work. does this sound normal? [08:47] bulmer: btw, something seems to have taken with the compile/make/install as my restricted drivers manager lists it [08:47] by default, ubuntu is a great OS that could run on old pc, I wonder why a number of ubuntu base dist with lightweight features is coming out ... how old then are this disto targeting? [08:48] allobjects, its getting late for me..sorry..am off now.. [08:48] bulmer, thanks for trying [08:48] guest_: it gets a bit rougher here. iptables doesn't just give you the mechanisms to change, say, what packets you accept- it gives you the mechanisms to change how packets are treated in a general sense, which means that iptables doesnt 'drop' or 'block' packets- it routes them into the DROP chain, which basically says 'ignore me, i dont matter' [08:49] darklegacy [08:49] you tried alt+f2 right? and typing the name of the prog? [08:50] it's simple,but first things first [08:50] ok so do i do and ifconfig or something debateml? [08:50] http://pastebin.com/m58640762 output from fdisk, not sure what to do since devices are in the wrong order... [08:51] guest_: so lets say that I want to drop everything. instead of changing a config file or that sort of thing, i issue a command, starting with the command iptables [08:53] guest_: then saying -P INPUT DROP, which drops all traffic coming in [08:54] does the ubuntu sight have that topic on it debateml, also do you have a face book? if you do ill add you. === subtrnl is now known as sub[t]rnl [08:55] hi all, by default, ubuntu is a great OS that could run on old pc, I wonder why a number of ubuntu base dist with lightweight features is coming out ... how old then are this disto targeting? [08:55] guest__: it may, i dont know, and i'm afraid I'm not social enough to use social networking tools. if you need help im sometimes on #vbox and very frequently on email. if you'll give me a second I'll set up a private room where I can give you an email address [08:56] james_027: try using a default ubuntu install with 256mb memory and slow disks [08:56] guest_: http://www.chatzy.com/844590722439 for email address [08:56] Anyone know what package contains the shutdown program? [08:56] hi all [08:57] void^: works fine for me on 128 [08:57] ? [08:57] can i get some help on loggerhead configurations in this channel [08:57] ? [08:57] loggerhead, a bazaar web front end [08:57] hello everyone [08:57] guest_: i can't hand out my email address on this as it gets logged and put online but i can hand it to you in a pm (which is blocked right now) or in chatzy [08:57] #lottalinuxlinks@irc.freenode.net [08:57] Hey everybody. Can i exclude some programs from using compiz-fusion? I have some problems with some java applications [08:58] looking for a good inventory control program, anyone know of any free good ones? [08:58] or where to look [08:58] ok so i but my email address on there [08:58] debatem1: it certainly "works", but there is much pain involved. [08:59] still cant figure out this grub problem, dont know what needs to be edited in menu.lst [08:59] guest_: just log in and ill give you mine; it will be very inconvenient for you to have to wait for me to email you to get help ;) [08:59] if thats even where i should be looking [08:59] who can help me, my pidgin is bad. look this http://paste.ubuntu.org.cn/4748 [08:59] void^: nah, just turn off indexing and use fluxbox and you're gold [08:59] Crap well [08:59] void^: what is your definition of slow disk? how about the processor? [08:59] synergy c gives me an error of [08:59] libstdc++ [09:00] Unable to load shared libraries libstdc++ [09:00] :( [09:00] debatem1: using fluxbox is not "default ubuntu install" [09:00] debatem1 so i am in [09:00] proctor, what are you trying to do? [09:00] i think [09:01] who can help me, my pidgin is bad. look this http://paste.ubuntu.org.cn/4748 [09:01] void^: neither is mounting everything noatime or, for that matter, running konversation, but i guess we all make these little sacrifices [09:01] hello, is it possible to hibernate to several files so I can choose the state i want to restore? [09:02] lol lijian: bad pigeon! sorry, funny mental image [09:02] jxxxt: in a reboot loop, gets to 'loading grub' and flashes so i cant select or get to a menu...no ubuntu or xp [09:02] MaMaGoody: if you find out how to do that i would LOVE to know [09:02] :) [09:03] MaMaGoody: sounds uber cool, i wonder why I never thought of that before... [09:03] proctor, Sorry I can do a little bit but not that one :-( [09:03] jxxxt: http://pastebin.com/m58640762 grub might have the wrong partition set for the Windows partition, but totally sure [09:03] thank you [09:03] not totally sure* [09:04] debatem1: been playing emulator and I just want the scheme for my software dev. [09:04] Nevermind guys [09:04] One quick google search [09:04] debateml: what is it about turning off indexing? [09:04] And I found another solution [09:04] debatem1: his statement was ubuntu runs great by default on old systems. [09:04] It seems like it's Ubuntu: Google Quest [09:05] MaMaGoody: you could use separate users and enable save session on logout in gnome [09:05] MaMaGoody: i've been looking at checkpoint n restore systems, whole nine yards, never even thought about being able to do that [09:05] james_027: things like beagled, etc eat up a lot of processor space and time, no point on most older machines, just turn em off [09:06] proctor, Had a look but it is too hard for me, I think your partitions are a bit wrong though.. [09:06] debateml: does default ubuntu comes with beagled? [09:06] void^: which it does, as much as anything can be said to run great on older systems. hell, ubuntu server is running on my old pentium server [09:06] astro76: Hmmm, I have a single software to run, so I guess I need to create one user for particular state? [09:07] MaMaGoody: well in your example, one for games and one for development [09:07] james_027: used to, not sure if it still does. check under system->administration->services [09:07] MaMaGoody: yes one for each state [09:07] astro76, actually, I just want to save the game state [09:07] so I don't have to play it from start. [09:07] jxxxt: yeah, im not sure how to get them right, believe its hd0,0 but ill change it to hd1,0 [09:07] MaMaGoody: no this isn't possible [09:07] MaMaGoody: now you're moving into my territory. CPR and teleporting [09:08] see what happenes [09:08] MaMaGoody: unless the emulator has a save state feature, which many do, you can't use hibernation like this [09:08] astro76: dont be so quick to judge [09:08] Why does www.kernel.org call device enumeration "stupid"? (http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/debian-linux-help/73049-kernel-image-2-6-16-boot-error-root-proc-failed.html) By what has udev replaced this mechanism? [09:08] I wonder if I could do this in xen instead. [09:08] debatem1: I'm not judging anything or anyone [09:08] void^: what is your definition of slow disk? how about the processor? [09:08] how do i add repository dvds to ubuntu via the command line? [09:08] astro76: lol im just saying, thats what i do for a living is teleporting and CPR, and there are viable technologies for it out there [09:09] debatem1: it's possible for such a thing to be developed, but it doesn't exist for linux or Ubuntu now [09:09] after i've launched example firefox trough putty on a ssh server I can't type any other commands in the shell. how can I do commands without closing applications that I'm running ? [09:09] MaMaGoody: yes, there are technologies to do that, some of them very hard to use and some of them very easy, and most of them are conditional [09:10] can't xen do that really? [09:10] james_027: cpu does not matter much, disk is important - especially access times. but according to debatem1 you can just run ubuntu-server which will certainly be fast on almost anything. [09:10] whats the linelimit on the /var/log/auth.log? [09:10] astro76: yeah, they do- its my job to make them and there are others that have done the same things before me [09:10] microsoft virtual server can do it, so i just wonder. [09:10] MaMaGoody: I don't think you would want to virtualize gaming, but yeah it could [09:10] debatem1: then tell him how to do it ;) [09:11] void^: cpu is the major determiner of performance reaching back a couple of years. [09:11] astro76 actually, I am deving games [09:11] astro76: am in the process, pun intended [09:11] heh [09:11] MaMaGoody: oh, if you're deving, just use frame substitution on GDB [09:11] debatem1: they are java games.. [09:12] ah, i can gdb jvm [09:12] any idea how much performance boost does ubuntu base disto like fluxbuntu, gebuntu, gos give? [09:12] MaMaGoody: oh. damn, see, java throws a kink in the works for a lot of that stuff [09:13] i doubt it would store connection state to windowing system. [09:13] james_027: i have no numbers but i would say that geubuntu feels pretty fast even on 1 ghz and lower systems; fluxbuntu down to about p2 unless you use firefox, which feels slow [09:13] tommy: you should be able to background it like normal when you run it (firefox &) [09:13] anyway.. [09:14] MaMaGoody: you can use an xproxy for that [09:14] * MaMaGoody checks xproxy [09:14] MaMaGoody: theres a package called xmove that was designed for teleporting, ie, moving one display to another, but it can also be used to move a window on the current display to the current display [09:15] ah neat. [09:15] dabateml: thanks, I'll try gebuntu ... by the is gebuntu an official ubuntu release like kubuntu and xubuntu? [09:15] MaMaGoody: also, depending on your structure, you may be able to use cryopid and then CPR the whole game structure. other techniques involving relinking code have been developed, but I don't really spend too much time with them [09:16] I am able to install wine when running ubuntu live? [09:16] yeh, and that sounds too complicate. [09:16] and i am just a tester i don't really code in java [09:16] proctor, My laptop dual boots to xp do you want me to fire it up so you can compare the two? [09:17] mamagoody: there is a continuing effort to combine xmove with cryopid to provide full and transparent CPR to running X systems, but it has made little progress as of now. are these games developed using GTK? [09:17] proctor, My laptop dual boots to xp do you want me to fire it up so you can compare the two? [09:17] jxxxt: could help, thx [09:17] debatem1: no, they are using j2me. [09:17] mobile game [09:18] no luck w/ editing menu.lst [09:18] what command line tool can filter a stream to return only words containing a certain pattern? [09:18] proctor, Give me a few minutes!!! [09:18] mamagoody: hmm thats too bad. it might still be possible to wrap them in a thin gtk wrapper, because gtk supports full CPR OTB [09:18] np [09:18] there was a singluar command, to install apache, sql, php etc.., does anyone know of it [09:19] !info lamp [09:19] Package lamp does not exist in gutsy [09:19] vspike: sed or awk or grep or all three [09:19] debatem1: I hardly doubt that sun would do that though.. [09:19] !lamp [09:19] LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [09:20] mamagoody: damn man, you're a developer- you can write code too [09:20] debatem1: but I only write code in obj-c :) [09:20] ubotu: thx, but it was sudo tasksel i was after [09:20] dont i look like a fool :| [09:20] mamagoody: dont make me come over there [09:21] heheh [09:22] debatem1: Hey, I did some more research and came up with some information that will probably be helpful. Are you caught up on what I did? [09:22] jeah: yeah [09:23] jeah: whatcha got? [09:24] jeah: hold up one second, I'm going to drop in a crappy action movie and start drinking [09:24] debatem1: cool I never knew grep could do that ... neat [09:24] debatem1: where can i read about this cpr support in gtk thing? [09:25] * MaMaGoody doesn't even know what cpr stands for. [09:25] Hello. I got a load of "1.00 1.00 1.00" on a nearly idle machine. This is a vmstat line "1 0 7776 79244 7980 82032 0 0 0 12 1793 735 0 0 100 0". How can I find out what causes this suspicious exact load of 1.00? [09:26] debatem1: I was just trying to figure out how you'd remove all installed packages matching a pattern. So now I know, you could start with something like dpkg -l *compiz* | grep -o [^[:space:]]*compiz[^[:space:]]* [09:26] mamagoody: theres a demo of it in the gtk examples. and CPR is CheckPoint and Restore [09:26] Help, I have uninstalled some package, and now I can't shutdown my PC! [09:26] debatem1: ah, thanks. [09:27] debatem1: there are probably neater ways to solve the problem but it's handy to know about that option for grep [09:27] debatem1: I only found grep -c a few days ago too [09:28] vspike: grep = Kawsome. with a capital K. [09:28] can anyone help me with a tar command please? [09:28] tar -cf out.tar in.file [09:28] debatem1: Ok, let me know when you're ready. And hopefully we'll get this figured out quick before the drinking really kicks in :) [09:28] help me [09:29] jeah: are you kidding? i'm hoping the exact opposite! we're gonna need the ballmer peak before the end is night [09:29] hey can someone help me out here, im trying to burn a dvd .img file, its an R1 NTSC disc so i use growisofs -Z /dev/dvd=BLAH.img everything seems to burn fine and it finalizes with no errors, put the disc in my dvd player and get Play Prohibited, Please check disc, well last time i burnt a r1 dvd .img no problems with this dvd player, just wondering if there is anotherway to burn .img files instead of growisofs [09:29] jeah: nigh* [09:29] lol @ debatem1 [09:29] vspike: yeah. i went there. [09:30] Sonicadvance: it's not that easy im afraid ;) I'm trying to update a "tar.gz" file with a newer file from dir X, e.g: tar -uvzf x.tar.gz /dir/test.doc What am I doing wrong? [09:30] vspike: im wearing my 'sudo make me a sandwich' shirt too [09:30] ok, i'll just try to xen approach first. [09:30] thanks! [09:31] tzd, I dunno, that's as much as I know [09:31] * DarkLegacy slaps himself in the forehead [09:31] Sonicadvance: ah alright, thanks anyway ;) [09:31] debatem1, wonder if "sudo get me a beer" works? [09:31] I went through the trouble of .rpm -> .deb, and the universe repository has the app I wanted [09:31] debatem1: I don't know what that is. However, I think the links might reveal a fairly quick and easy solution. It just will require knowledge I don't have at all. [09:31] proctor, Sorry it took forever. Here is mine: http://pastebin.com/mb5ed4b5 [09:32] madpilot: no. no it doesnt. and i tried 'sudo get me a sandwich' and nearly got a general protection fault. [09:32] debatem1: Nevermind, found the peak comic. [09:32] can anyone help me please? [09:33] jeah: i love xkcd. so, shoot- plenty of sambuca left [09:33] debatem1: Ok, well the key thing to note (I THINK) is that I mounted the pretending-to-be-a-CD partition manually (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4083047#post4083047 - last post). Here are a couple links: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/60771 (Just the bug description is probably enough - I can't actually go through without doing the partitioning step since it's linear, and I don't think this is really the problem) and ht [09:34] jxxxt: alright, thanks [09:34] budluva: whats the issue? [09:34] jeah: im not seeing a problem here [09:34] hey can someone help me out here, im trying to burn a dvd .img file, its an R1 NTSC disc so i use growisofs -Z /dev/dvd=BLAH.img everything seems to burn fine and it finalizes with no errors, put the disc in my dvd player and get Play Prohibited, Please check disc, well last time i burnt a r1 dvd .img no problems with this dvd player, just wondering if there is anotherway to burn .img files instead of growisofs [09:35] budluva: k3b [09:35] debatem1: ? [09:35] jeah: why is manually mounting causing you problems? [09:35] to work the best, my monitor needs to be 'generic monitor' but it will only let me choose 640x 460 or something low [09:35] debatem1, ya apt is unpacking it now i figured i should try it out first before asking here [09:35] debatem1: oh, that won't be clear until the last link. The first is just to show what I have been doing. [09:35] debatem1 sorry about that [09:36] hi when i login to my ssh i want that clear command preform and than welcome message prints [09:36] jeah: oh ok. [09:36] I don't know how to preform clear command [09:36] ajitam: thats all in sshd.conf [09:36] jxxxt: still not sure. gonna keep trying [09:36] Yes! [09:36] apprec. the help [09:36] I got synergy to work on Ubuntu 7.10! [09:36] Hurrah! [09:36] 30 minute installation time [09:36] Because of newbie error [09:36] <_dac_> Budluva, [09:37] ooh [09:37] k3b has a new splash screen [09:37] Суки [09:37] must be for kde4 [09:37] <_dac_> when i get "check disc [09:37] budluva: lookin good huh? [09:37] yeah [09:38] kde4 is being release soon no? [09:38] like a couple days [09:38] <_dac_> nevermind [09:38] hello, I am trying to switch my theme in ubuntu gutsy. I am really not sure what is my decorator or anything because the theme I chose is applied only to the title bars of the windows. The system bars are all from before. Any idea on where I would look to find out what type of themes to install? [09:38] bah [09:38] k3b gives me errors [09:38] ajitam: srry its in in ssh.conf [09:38] budluva: what errors? [09:38] Суки [09:38] Суки [09:38] jeah: whered you go? [09:38] Суки [09:38] any idea on how i can just boot into one OS, tryin to bypass grub? [09:38] debatem1: Uh... [09:38] should i reinstall grub [09:38] proctor, some thing is bad as your fdisk not not recognise as a correct partion. Why does your win part start at 2 not 1 as mine does? [09:39] debatem1: still here? [09:39] По Русски [09:39] debatem1, ill paste debug to pastebin hold on [09:39] debatem1: do you mean ssh_config or is this the same [09:39] jeah: yeah [09:39] topicks: you suck! [09:39] set timeout to 0 [09:39] proctor, Maybe try a liveCD [09:39] debatem1: I mean I'm still here. Did I not respond to something? [09:39] proctor, then hopefully be able to fix Grub [09:39] <_dac_> wipe the fingerprints off the Cds etc... [09:40] jeah: sorry, was just checking [09:40] debatem1, might be something simple as trying to burn to fast, ill try 4x\ [09:40] ajitam: yeah, just different distros [09:40] Man now that synergy is working, operating my Ubuntu laptop is much easier [09:40] be right back [09:40] mess around w. shit [09:40] debatem1, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51068/ [09:40] debatem1: so I just add clear command in there [09:41] debatem1, same thing [09:41] proctor, Comment out all the other options in menu.list????????????????????????? [09:41] debatem1: Anyway, I don't think the suggestion about the partitioner in the second link is actually the problem. It seems like the debian folks closed out the bug report a long time ago. So I'm thinking it has more to do with the third link. [09:41] debatem1: I just figured I'd send that one in the interest of thoroughness. [09:41] budluva: looks like thats the issue [09:41] how to know if theres window manager in my xorg [09:42] ah there never is [09:42] ajitam: holdup a sec [09:42] how to know if its kde, gnome or xfree [09:42] По русски [09:42] ubuntu or pardus [09:43] cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | less [09:43] TylerJGillies: no, you suck! [09:43] debatem1, same thing when i slowed it down [09:43] that is set by xsession [09:43] budluva: do me a favor and run k3b as root [09:44] debatem1: So once you read that third link, it looks like I have to find a way to make the installer mount the partition as the CD itself (something like it says in the note at the bottom of the guide I was using: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromHardDriveWithFloppies , but that exact solution didn't work for me) or I need to configure the debconf database myself like in that third link ( http://ubuntuforums.org/showthrea [09:44] Are there any Bots i can Download for Ubuntu that will help me learn Bash lol [09:44] Darkmystere: read some howtos [09:44] type ---------- man bash [09:44] I am [09:45] man bash [09:45] proctor, Put your win disc in and boot from there [09:45] Darkmystere: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prog-Intro-HOWTO.html [09:45] jeah: k, im following you [09:45] man != howto [09:45] kk [09:45] gonna have to find it [09:45] man !=howto [09:45] man !

They are like this /usr/bin/php -q /var/www/javascript_packer/mango_nightly_build.php [10:41] yuan (from inside Ubuntu) [10:41] :) [10:41] dudes, lets gooooo, more doubts [10:41] php on /var/www [10:41] debatem1: can you please explain on how do I do that? [10:41] khmer42, and when you execute that manually, it works ok? [10:41] prathapnirmal, what do you want ? [10:42] prathapnirmal: let me find you a walkthrough, im no samba expert [10:42] ok i'm confuse [10:42] thefish: Yes works as expected. [10:42] ok [10:42] is kernel compiling really take a long long time ???? [10:42] what, jaime_? [10:42] khmer42, you used crontab -e to edit your crontab? [10:42] HoboBen: after i delete the .vbs file, and i reput my flash card on ubuntu, then there is .vbs again [10:42] prathapnirmal: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/configure-a-system-to-automount-a-samba-share-with-etcfstab/ [10:42] novato_br: I want the samba share automounted to specific location for all users [10:42] Hi all, anyone know is there are some network problem with 7.10 server amd64? i cant get my network to work :( [10:42] thefish: yes. and when I used your touch test that worked fine. [10:42] is it protect folder? use the chmod to remove the protection [10:43] its worked with 32bit version [10:43] yuan can you open it with gedit or a text editor? [10:43] @yuan do you use wine ? [10:43] no [10:43] khmer42, can you paste the crontab line? [10:43] i am using ubuntu 7.10 and install wine 0.9.52 [10:43] and every time i try to do the winecnfg [10:43] or something in the folder "wine" [10:43] after about 10 secs my system goes to freeze and i have to reset the whole computer [10:43] I have a folder i created in /home for quake 3 [10:43] prathapnirmal, i think that you should read the samba's documentation [10:43] it's more easy [10:43] the installer made it protected and i didn't want thZT [10:43] HoboBen: yes , i use gedit open the .vbs file, but it is in HEX mode [10:43] that [10:43] can someone help me change file permissions [10:43] thefish: * * * * * /usr/bin/php -q /var/www/javascript_packer/mango_nightly_build.php [10:44] neopsyche, man chmod [10:44] jelantik: i do not use wine [10:44] khmer42, you want it to run every minute ye? [10:44] prathapnirmal: the walkthrough is easy. just do that. [10:44] debatem1: I think you're describing things I already did. I'm actually half way through the installation already. I booted from a bootable floppy, copied the boot files over, made a GRUB boot disk to boot from them into the ISO. But then later the installer tries to find the CD-ROM for copying modules or something, but can't. So I have to manually mount it to cdrom and then it can find it. But according to that post, by manually mount [10:44] !google samba documentation [10:44] .google samba [10:44] thefish: No I was just putting it to one minute whilst I was trying to get it working. Don't want to wait until midnight :-) [10:45] @yuan: hmm very strang is it possible a linux virus ? [10:45] don't have the google command [10:45] dandand what sort of hardware are you running?

[10:45] atm0sph: tanks [10:45] debatem1: The fstab and mtab are only from the temporary filesystem that the install "CD" has set up, I believe. [10:45] but my problem is I do not want the password to be in this file [10:45] yuan I wouldn't think or would like to think it's not one, but try rkhunter in synaptic [10:46] @yuan : what recent linux soft you download ? [10:46] yuan and also AVG has a Linux virus scanner, as does I believe Avast [10:46] ok khmer42 : you are always running as the same user with crontab -e and running manually? also, you definately have php-cli installed?

[10:48] is there something similar to scrivener for mac but for linux? [10:48] @novato i cant understand [10:48] I need help with with a severe internet connectivity issue. I'm using Gutsy and I have a Linsys WMP54G PCI card, which apparently gets read as an RT2500 device. I have done no configuration as of yet, but I keep getting disconnected from an otherwise stable wireless network (as proven by the success of all my other devices connecting to it and remaining stable). Can someone help me? [10:48] prathapnirmal: hmm [10:48] dandand, your doubt [10:48] anditosan - probably. What is scrivener? [10:48] khmer42, ah ok, maybe try adding MAILTO=your@emailaddy to the crontab, this will send output to that mail address [10:49] type e your login and password??? whats that means? [10:49] HoboBen: go here, http://www.literatureandlatte.com/scrivener.html [10:49] dandand, you said how to use box... ? [10:49] khmer42, by default it will send to your users local mailbox - you can use mutt or whatever to see it [10:49] how do i uninstall a program, php5 to be specific [10:49] just like u type to me [10:49] it is text editor but dedicated to research papers and book writing [10:49] jeah: yeah, you're right, im just worried you're going to wind up in the chroot with nothing to grab [10:49] i want to replace with php4 [10:49] sudo apt-get uninstall php5 [10:49] thats [10:49] thanks [10:49] have a box on the words [10:49] err [10:49] remove maybe [10:50] I forget [10:50] the box's name it's your login [10:50] thefish: Where in the crontab line do I add that? [10:50] type your username [10:50] at the top iirc :) not sure if it matters though [10:50] k, guys, its 6am, and i have to be in class in three hours. im going to bed. [10:50] dandand like this?

[10:51] anditosan I could name a few applications, but I don't know of any all-in-ones [10:51] revilodra1: get access to menu: System -> Preference -> Screen resolution [10:51] wth why making kernel with dpkg result in 100mb .deb file [10:51] HoboBen: like which ones? I just can't find an apropriate name for this app [10:51] revilodra1: and change it [10:51] @hoboben if u ask my hardware eqipment? [10:52] I need help with with a severe internet connectivity issue. I'm using Gutsy and I have a Linsys WMP54G PCI card, which apparently gets read as an RT2500 device. I have done no configuration as of yet, but I keep getting disconnected from an otherwise stable wireless network (as proven by the success of all my other devices connecting to it and remaining stable). Can someone help me? [10:52] anditosan Probably not what you want, seeing as this is scattering the functionality into several applications... ... [10:52] @gluonman can u connect and get internet [10:52] mmm [10:53] I can. [10:53] jelantik, I can. But it's very unstable. [10:53] anditosan But there's Xournal, AbiWord as a nice processor, and clipboard management stuff is bound to be in Synaptic [10:53] try ping the router 24/7 [10:53] HoboBen: but what did you have in mind? [10:53] ok [10:53] debatem1: I don't even know what that means. :) But do you see what that' guy is getting at about the manual mounting? The installer tries to auto-detect the drive and mount it. When it mounts it, it also configures this stuff that makes debootstrap work properly. It can't find mine, so I manually mount it, and then it can find it. But if it's not the one that mounts it, the debootstrap stuff never gets set up. So I need to find a wa [10:53] novato_br: tried that [10:54] hello everyone [10:54] everything seems less elegant and i thinks its a resolution issue [10:54] revilodra1 , google 915resolution - works great but you might need to read a forum post to tweak it right [10:54] revilodral unless it's a font issue [10:54] revilodra1, what is your video card?

[10:55] neopsyche apache is a web server, not an ftp server [10:56] revilodra1, do you know what is your screen resolution at now? [10:56] jelantik, no output right now.

[10:57] yep, neopsyche, you can [10:57] anyone know what the name of php4 install is? [10:57] neopsyche, its probably easier just using a console - are the files on your local computer?

Switched to PCLOS and not had a single reboot. My memory is fine, CPU temps low so must be Gutsy incompatibility or something. Anyone else experienced this?

I'm just investigating now. Thanks for steering me in the right direction!

[11:13] punkshui: welcome [11:13] When I start a program in Wine, the program starts, the sound works, but it's nowhere to be found outside of the process-list. Any ideas what's wrong?

[11:14] neopsyche: just experience, but thats not really appropriate to discuss in this channel [11:15] ikonia: ok thanks man. [11:15] :-) [11:15] ikonia: or woman.. whatever ;-) [11:15] @deathshrimp316 75 mins???? [11:16] does ubuntu have problems opening data discs made on windows? :o [11:16] ikonia i was wondering if there are any modifications you could recommend for me to improve my battery life on my macbook. [11:18] ikonia would you be able to assist me with something? [11:18] I have pidgin v2.2.1, but the latest pidgin version is 2.3.1. is there any way to force ubuntu to get the latest one? [11:18] and by get, i mean apt-get install etc [11:18] theCarpenter: you don't need the latest one, ubuntu will release updates when appropriate [11:18] bloodofthwolf: perhaps if you ask me a question [11:19] ok ive been trying to install xbuntu on this machine and well it hasn't worked so far [11:19] bloodofthwolf: ok...... [11:19] its the alternate disc and the first problem is that when it gets to recognizing the cd rom it doesn't until the fouth or fifth try when it activates hdparm [11:19] then after that it goes through to the partioning section which hangs for a long long time [11:20] :o [11:20] ikonia: does pidgin fall directly under ubuntu's jurisdiction, or is it part of the multiverse? [11:20] kyle_: not that I've ever seen [11:20] till eventually the num lock lights etc blink [11:20] bachstudies, unfortunately that did not fix my problem [11:20] theCarpenter: I think it's in the core repo [11:20] bloodofthwolf: ok, so far, not a straight forward process [11:21] now first i was told to try reburning the cd on 2x which i did and i burnt another cd (knoppix) which worked fine [11:21] there's some stability issues that are only solved as of the latest pidgin vers that I really need to fixed :\ [11:21] no not at all originally ive been trying to use 7.10 since its release [11:21] bachstudies: ubuntu still refuses to output anything higher than 1280x1024 [11:21] and well i went from ubuntu desktop to xubuntu desktop to xubuntu alternate [11:21] kyle_: usually it's the other way around... if you burn a disc under linux without joliet support, windows won't read the discs... linux should read pretty much anything [11:22] theCarpenter can you show me the bug report that details the problem and the fix is released in version X [11:22] anyone give a hand w. some Grub problems i have? [11:22] Does anyone know what script(s) configure debconf in the Gutsy install CD's?

[11:23] kyle_ can you see it as a filesystem [11:23] been working on it for a few hours, PC is in a reboot loop, flashes 'loading grub' and reboots before i can press 'e' or 'escape' [11:24] any suggestions? [11:24] punkshui cpu stepping, powe managment, anything like that [11:24] dual boot xp and ubuntu system, was working fine before i restarted it earlier today [11:24] bloodofthwolf: what sort of machine is this [11:24] proctor boot to livecd re-apply [11:25] proctor: as in re-aply grub [11:25] ikonia nothing shows up though :o [11:25] kyle_ so you see a file system with no files ? [11:25] on the live cd, just try to reinstall it? [11:25] proctor just grub [11:25] here's the problem: I authenticate via NickServ (either through buddy pounce or through a plugin, doesnt matter), and have a bunch of channels on auto-join [11:26] most of those channels require registration [11:26] its a hp pavillion 8665c p3 600 mhz 384 sdram one dvd drive one cdr drive and two 30 gb hds [11:26] good to go ikonia, get back to you later [11:26] i think so i only installed ubuntu yesterday ya see, but i go to places > computer > filesystem >cdrom? [11:26] hi guys [11:26] theCarpenter can you show me where that bug is logged and where it says it is fixed in the next version [11:26] how can i play quicktime movies especially in firefox [11:27] but pidgin tries to autojoin before nickserv is done authentication. result: ten dialogue boxes saying "REGISTRATION REQUIRED", and me having to close all of them and then manually joining each one [11:27] hey guys [11:27] ikonia: this may be terrible logic but i assumed that it was fixed in the latest version because noone has has been complaining about it [11:27] !quicktime [11:27] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [11:27] ikonia: it seems like such a blindingly obvious problem [11:27] theCarpenter assumption means nothing [11:27] hi people, VLC doesn't want to play mms streams. What to do? [11:28] theCarpenter: upgrading for no reason is silly [11:28] I have the xps m1530, I installed ubuntu gutsy and everything is working great except for the suspend button, when I push it the laptop actually hibernates... where is that configured? [11:28] suspend works if I click quit > suspend, I wanna change the hardware button to suspend and not hibernate. [11:28] bachstudies, i fixed the problem [11:29] ikonia: i would have thought makign a upgrade that had no purpose would be silly upgradeing is good logic you get the best solutions to all life problems [11:29] seems ubuntu doesnt like the combination of my video card, dvi cable and monitor [11:29] hello all [11:29] * littlebear72 likes upgrading ubuntu for the fun of it [11:29] littlebear72: upgrades are not for no reason, but not always fixing the things you think [11:29] any suggestions [11:30] true ikonia [11:30] i switched to a vga cable and now ubuntu will correctly recognize my monitor [11:30] im seriously getting vexed [11:30] like flashplayer [11:30] ikonia: i just filed what appears to be the first bug report for this issue. if i get laughed at, im blaming you ;) [11:31] can windows see any nfs sharing folder? [11:31] * littlebear72 never worries if he gets laughed at .. i knwo im stupid i just dont mind that others think i am .. what they think of me is not my problem it is someone elses [11:31] i have a problem with Wireless WPA autentication under Kubuntu 7.10 [11:32] i have a problem with Wireless WPA autentication under Kubuntu 7.10 [11:33] Any idea on when we (ubuntu gutsy) are we going to have macromedia flash plugin available ?

[11:43] what does that mean :p === ubuntu is now known as Kyouki [11:43] ask him for the driver he used [11:44] so im trying to figure it out .... [11:44] what could use ubuntu's alt installer; partion phase to hang? [11:44] Kyouki: you need to make one of the hard drive partitions look liek they have a / in the mount point === ChrisGibbs_ is now known as ChrisGibbs [11:45] toni: Thank you. Are you running one? [11:45] mm i made a 10gb ext3 partition [11:45] ok revx have you tried the manufacturers site cos i know i have just looked at google and there are heaps of results for your cam [11:45] but i cant see any partitions when i run the installer thingy in here, in the udundundun [11:46] ubuntu: that means you didn't set one of your partitions with a mount point of "/" [11:46] excellent Kyouki now make it root / [11:46] @.@;; [11:46] how do i close my telnet port? (23) [11:46] what could a sdb error mean? [11:46] littlebear72: Edit partition, I think, mount as then select / from drop down [11:47] anyone here running ubuntu on a macbook [11:47] is there any Bandwidth Meter available for ubuntu??? [11:47] with a mac os x partition? [11:47] need for help [11:47] could anybody help me [11:47] !ask | widyanet-induk [11:47] widyanet-induk: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question -- All On One Line, so others can read it and follow it easily --. and if anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [11:47] i'd really like to get my isight working but i need the firmware [11:48] how do i close my telnet port? (23) [11:48] toni_: Thank you. Are you using an ATI X1300? [11:48] sveakex: try iptables [11:48] gah [11:48] sveakex: or for a gui firestarter [11:48] cna someone pleaseee help me [11:48] is there any way I can make tty2 active after the system starts up? [11:48] sveakex, it has no services running by default [11:48] !ask > bloodofthwolf (See PM from ubotu) [11:48] or clear tty1 [11:49] nomasteryoda, um, a mate will probably try to hack me since it is open :s [11:49] YouBucky, yes x1300 mobility with compiz [11:49] k [11:49] nomasteryoda, and it is open [11:49] setup the firewall [11:49] sveakex: did you install a telnet server? [11:49] sdb error is a hard drive error bloodofthwolf [11:49] sure but with no services running for telnet, then it is not hackable [11:49] erawfish, no idea, i have apache on this box [11:49] btjmho [11:49] or ymmv [11:49] sveakex, are you worried about attacks on the port if something happens to start listening? [11:50] sveakex: how did you ascertain it is open? [11:50] sveakex, if so, then you can set up an iptables rule [11:50] erawfish, nmaped myself [11:50] sveakex: that's no vaolid test [11:50] !iptables | sveakex [11:50] sveakex: 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). [11:50] toni_: You could be my life saver :) . Are you also running Gutsy?, Is there a particular guide you followed? I'm suffering an issue where my GUI is extremely slow when I enable anything that needs rendering like the reflection plugin for example [11:51] sveakex: what does netstat say? what process listens? [11:51] im trying to run the partition program, GParted or something.. but it doesnt find anything [11:51] it just keeps "scanning all devices..." [11:51] erawfish, netstat says a lot [11:51] YouBucky, can you query me? it will be simple to read [11:51] ok originally i dled the 7.10 desktop in nov and i got a sdb logical block error when i ran it and it never went any further after some frustration i figured i would try xubuntu because it runs on less powerful machines same error, saturday i tried the xbuntu alt it displays that error but goes into the installer the installers hangs on the cd recognition phase but after retrying about 4x it activates hdparm... [11:52] Kyouki, tried 'gksudo gparted' ? [11:52] Kyouki: sounds like you have a hardware error there [11:52] YouBucky, and yes, i 'm on gutsy [11:52] ;_; i kinda hate the udundun more than windows already [11:52] bloodofthwolf apologies I had to pop out [11:52] after that it recognizes the cd drive then it goes to the partioning and it takes about 40 mins for the progress bar to complete and then goes to a blank blue screen and hangs [11:52] erawfish, i think port 23 is not there [11:52] no worries [11:52] anyone running an 8600GT without any probs? [11:52] bloodofthwolf what sort of machine is this running on [11:52] Kyouki: if you are having it scan your hardware and find s nothting then your hard drives are not visable for some reason have you had hard drive issues lately ? [11:52] Dremation: not personally but I'm aware of people [11:53] sveakex: how about checking instead of "thinking"? [11:53] Dremation: what problems are you having? [11:53] YouBucky, or better join #youbucky [11:53] like ive used linux in the past but like 3 years ago? [11:53] littlebear72: not really, i have two 500gb samsung sata drives [11:53] very laggy graphics...like no driver exist [11:53] bloodofthwolf: what type of machine is this running on [11:53] bloodofthwolf: what sort of specification [11:53] erawfish, how about i checked it but not sure where to look and it looks like it is not listening. [11:53] Asus PK3 core2dou 2.66 3gb ram [11:53] sveakex: then say that [11:53] Dremation: are you using the nvidia-binary-driver? [11:54] trying [11:54] toni_: I'm on #youbucky [11:54] hp pavillion 8665c two 30 gb hds one dvd reader and one cd writer, radeon 7200 and i use a linksys wusb11 wifi card [11:54] Dremation: how did you install the dribers? [11:54] its a piece [11:54] thats od dthen cos gparted usually sees all that are connected properly and workign fine can you see them in your post screen ? or when you enter yoru bios ? [11:54] bloodofthwolf what cpu/ram is in it [11:55] Dremation: drivers [11:55] sveakex: sudo netstat -lntp [11:55] 600 mhz 384 sdram [11:55] littlebear72: yeah, the HDDs work just fine, but this udundun doesnt find them [11:55] bloodofthwolf: that should be enough, although I'd expect the installer to run reasonably slow compared to the actual install [11:55] bloodofthwolf: I have to pop out again, sorry [11:55] k [11:56] tried using the nvidia installer [11:56] ubundun i thought you were useing gparted ? [11:56] using the custom option [11:56] Dremation: that is not the way to install the drivers, there is already a binary package for you. Try running the restricted drivers manager [11:56] I just installed 7.10 onto my main desktop. Yay last M$ box is gone. However I having a little trouble picking up my HW RAID 0. Controller card is Silicon Image SiI 3112 SATA. Drives are 2 x WD 320Gb Any help would be good :) [11:56] Kyouki: please don't troll [11:56] what's the best instant messenger for ubuntu? [11:57] Dremation: or installing nvidia-glx-new [11:57] erawfish, the number at the local adress (127.0.0.1:8118) is my port, 8118? [11:57] littlebear72: like, i can see them just fine in bios, and they work just fine in windows xp pro, but like.. i cant install ubuntu because it cant find the HDDs [11:57] eris: and what is listening there? [11:57] !best | kyle_ [11:57] kyle_: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors. If you really insist on getting people's opinions, join #ubuntu-bots and ask there. [11:57] are they ntfs ? [11:57] littlebear72: im running this now from the installer cd [11:57] Kyouki: Did you shut down windows properly? [11:57] sveakex: it certainly isn't a telnetserver [11:57] under fedora8 i can use YUM and install great..but I"d like to use ubuntu instead [11:57] littlebear72, unfortunately ATM they are NTFS [11:57] hairulfr: yeah, i did, and went to bios to change the boot sequence and then ran this [11:58] erawfish, no i just took a random example so you could confirm me if 8118 would the port in a local adress [11:58] ok then you may need ntfs3 to see the partitions but i am surprised at that [11:58] sveakex: yes it is [11:58] Dremation: you can do the same thing in ubuntu. First run the restricted driver manager [11:58] hmm vlc cannot open the .ogg files that recordmydesktop makes :/ [11:58] erawfish, but i did not find a 23 there, but why is it showing as open when i nmap my own ip? [11:59] I'm having trouble trying to setup xdmcp, is there any extra packages or anything I need to install in gutsy to get it to work? [11:59] cause you are not able to use nmap properly [11:59] littlebear72, So am I. The whole reason behind me getting Silicon Image was the support for linux :) [11:59] join #firefox [11:59] erawfish, nice how Linux has so many tools and each has so many switches... like netstat [11:59] I've use sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx not right? [12:00] Я собираюсь Пардус [12:00] erawfish, lol, so nmap -v -A my_ip is incorrect? [12:00] hmmm ChrisGibbs this is odd [12:00] Dremation: wrong package [12:00] which package contains make-jpkg ??? [12:00] sveakex: don't use nmap if you don't understand how to use it [12:00] Dremation: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new [12:01] erawfish, where can i learn to use nmap? [12:01] guys how do i unload the network modules so that I can refresh my network cards settings [12:01] darkghost2: what language? [12:01] * littlebear72 uses wd and seagate as they bot support linux perfect lol [12:01] im gonna try rebooting and see what happens.. [12:01] sveakex: learn about how tcp and ip works first [12:01] I'm having trouble trying to setup xdmcp, is there any extra packages or anything I need to install in gutsy to get it to work?

[12:02] Русский [12:02] Augh, ok sorry [12:02] Dremation: i dont follow sorry? can you explain? [12:02] Is there anyway to get the driver compilation proccess more selective, as in compile ONLY wireless drivers instead of ALL systemwide drivers? [12:02] Because I only need ONE driver that to be recompiled, and I don't have enough space to recompile them all [12:02] Thanks, Ziroday. I'll try that out and return in a few. [12:03] bloodofthwolf: can you tel me what is what in the sda and sdb setup for you what is yoru sda1 drive for example [12:03] Dremation: sweet [12:03] The installation is running off of a 2 GB USB stick, btw. [12:03] Er, operating system* [12:03] Anyone have any advice regarding that? [12:03] where are your optical drives located bloodofthwolf [12:04] hello!

You may want to try that for a test [12:20] how did you go with just the shorter google bloodofthwolf [12:21] tssom: Do you mean this.. sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new [12:21] i have a problem with my fonts on a fresh xubuntu install. after a while they suddenly all become much bigger. does anyone have any idea what could cause something like this? [12:21] ailean: Theres #ubuntu-translators, but its not very busy. You might also be able to get some movement on that bug by asking in #ubuntu-bugs, but be patient, these channels aren't as active as this one. [12:21] !ask | jahid [12:21] jahid: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question -- All On One Line, so others can read it and follow it easily --. and if anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [12:21] its stuff i did back in november [12:21] like i updated the bios [12:21] Karotte, do sudo apt-cache search sip and it should give you a few results [12:21] Jack_Sparrow: Yarr [12:21] Karotte, Wengophone (or just wengo maybe?) is sip. [12:22] Morning Pici [12:22] Jack_Sparrow: Morning :) [12:22] Pici, ok thanks Pici. I feel I have been patient on this one - it's been logged for over a year and it should be simple to fix [12:22] bloodofthwolf: exactly what problem are you having with this hardware [12:22] Actually, my sound card is not working. I tried to play music using XMMS, but it shows that my sound card is not properly configured. I have checked that, ALSA is installed, but still I get that error. Any idea? [12:22] hardware no problem at all [12:22] everything works in xp [12:23] and just to make sure i ran knoppix today and everything works in that [12:23] hello, if anyone here is running ubuntu on a macbook with a os x partition, would it be possible to us your isight firmware to make my isight work in ubuntu.. i don't have an os x partition [12:23] last name someone suggested it could have been my cd writer so i tested that out and thats not it [12:24] Jack_Sparrow: Ok, did that, didnt do much. Seems i allready got the newest driver. My problem is that after upgrading my kernel, my dispaly now operates at 600x400. I did a rollback, but that didnt help [12:24] bloodofthwolf: ok, so as an option lets try something quite common. In the cd's boot options enter "noapci" and see if that makes a differnce to the boot errors [12:24] ubuntu hates me :( [12:24] Jack_Sparrow , i am dropping them in Appearance [12:24] seems by the forum reads i ahve done the kernel and bios clash in ubuntu jahid [12:24] bloodofthwolf: Ehhh. No guarantee, mate. My *nix works fine, but windows screws up my harddrives because of a faulty hdd controller. So, windows only works for a few days, then writes random crap to the drives and refuses to boot [12:24] elbermungsterses: gdm are login themes .. system..admin... login window.. second tab [12:24] i would honestly get rid of windows all together [12:24] tssom: Did you add resolutions in xorg.conf? [12:24] hi everybody [12:25] peeps can someone tell me how i can get my network settings restored? [12:25] but i can't even get it to install [12:25] hairulfr: shouldnt that be automaticly? [12:25] rich__: restored to what ? [12:25] bloodofthwolf: How many HD's you have? [12:25] two [12:25] tssom: Not necessarily [12:25] tssom: MAke sure you have entered your correct monitor refresh rates. many people forget that step [12:25] seems by the forum reads i ahve done the kernel and bios clash in ubuntu hairulfr [12:25] question: have a manli tvtuner card but it doesn't appear in lspci or lshw in ubuntu. it does show in other distros [12:25] littlebear72: you've said that [12:25] littlebear72, I didnt understand what you just said [12:26] is there something in linux like ctrl+alt+del for windows? [12:26] for shits and giggles should i try unplugging one? [12:26] kyle_, why? [12:26] tssom: Oh, and How did you upgrade the kernal and what version of ubuntu are you using [12:26] kyle_: there is a "sysrq" combination, but that is for advanced debugging [12:26] bloodofthwolf: Try disconnecting the one you are no installing on, that might help. Had problems with that before. Then connection after install, and voila. Might help, no guarantees though.- [12:26] !language | bloodofthwolf [12:26] bloodofthwolf: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [12:26] ahh === Luke_ is now known as Luke [12:26] thx, Jack_Sparrow. :) [12:26] how would i go about ending a program? [12:26] np [12:26] like a process thing? [12:26] kyle_: If its a graphical program, you can use xkill [12:27] bloodofthwolf: Yeah, exactely :) Lol [12:27] what's that? [12:27] kyle_, you would do 'kill -15 ' [12:27] !sound [12:27] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

[12:27] 2.6.24 [12:27] ok two more things when it goes to recognize the cdrom drive in the installer it doesn't and i have to do it over about 4-6 times until it enables hdparm [12:27] how can i manually do that [12:28] back, still nothing ... [12:28] punkshui: no, the firmware is designed to interact with the OS [12:28] ikonia, i have altered the settings, i want to reconfigure the cards as if i had just power cycled.

(! works in windows) Atheros adapter on intel motherbord (I can find it in hardware list), but when I check the hardware list in terminal I get " *-network UNCLAIMED". Tried madwifi and wifi windows driver, but wireless connection still does not appear in network list... :( [12:28] rich__: change the settings back or reboot [12:28] how can I make a new gnome session for a user when the gnome session is broke [12:28] ikonia: i needed some drivers to work [12:28] tssom: which ones ? [12:28] tssom: When people start using scripts I beging to wonder... I'll look at it now [12:29] iwlwifi [12:29] I downloaded prism and firefox-3.0 alpha.. when i run them the fonts look lousy.. i think it is a lack of sub-pixel rendering, but could be wrong.. wondering if this is a case of how these apps have been compiled, or some incantation i need to add when firing them up [12:29] Jack_Sparrow: thanks [12:29] bloodofthwolf: Have two cd-drives? Disconnect everything you don't need. Seems to me that 7.10 has som rather interesting issues that I've never seem before. Fails to recognize my gfx card during install, though no probs after, fails to find optics, harddrives, etc [12:29] Jack_Sparrow: and yes, im a fool :P [12:29] hmm ok [12:29] it said alot of things like "212.892215 ATA5.01 Failed to set xfermode (err_mask=0x40) and such [12:30] how can I make a new gnome session for a user when the gnome session is broke ? [12:30] i tried d/c the cd drive i wasn't using in the bios but would acpi override that? [12:30] what is telnet good for? why do i need it? :s [12:30] !telnet | sveakex [12:30] sveakex: telnet is not safe. Please use ssh instead. See !ssh [12:30] bloodofthwolf: YEah, might, *nix tends to disregard bios on some occasions [12:30] ssh is tha bomb :-) [12:30] ikonia, do you know? [12:30] pici, so i shoild remove it? :S [12:30] rich__: do I know what ? [12:30] ok im giong to try this out [12:31] pici, since i want to keep that port 23 closed [12:31] hi shivy . how are things going now? [12:31] sveakex: You shouldnt be running a telnet server, but its safe to have the client installed. [12:31] tssom: HAve you put your xorg into the pastebin and posted a link in here yet.. I just got here and may have missed it. [12:31] bloodofthwolf: So disconnect the cables, [12:31] thanks for the help everyone particullary [12:31] telnet is good for a quick debug tool.. connect to a weird port and see what is there.. you can even use it as an email client if desperate enough ;) [12:31] punkshui: look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MacBookPro in section isight, and follow the instruction [12:31] Jack_Sparrow: no i have not. whats the pastebin url? [12:31] sveakex: Its unsafe because there is no encryption, it sends everything, including passwords, in plaintext. [12:31] !paste [12:31] pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [12:31] punkshui: the firmware is included in the tgz [12:31] hair, ikonia and littlebear [12:32] a odd thought for you bloodofthwolf have you checked the back of your 4 drives to make sure you have only master and slave set no cable select activated windows will fix that with its method of doing stuff but ubuntu assumes users have a brain lol === mikebeecham9023 is now known as mikebeecham [12:32] pici, if i portscan myself and it says port 23 is open should i remove the telnet package? [12:32] ikonia: how to reload the network configuring /etc/networking restart doesnt do anything [12:32] i thought of that yesturday actually [12:32] do i need to unload the network card modules to get the system to refresh the settings? [12:32] did you check it ? [12:32] but ill double check everything since im opening her [12:32] nice [12:32] sveakex: Yes. [12:32] bloodofthwolf: Yeah, i though about that too, are they ide or sata? [12:32] sveakex: Its called telnetd [12:32] ide [12:33] bloodofthwolf: Ahh... :) Yeah, def check the jumpers [12:33] go back to your most trusted optical and most usefull optical and same with yoru hdd [12:33] gotchaa [12:33] * littlebear72 is perplexed by this error [12:33] pici, i have only the telnet package installed, but my port 23 is still open, what do i need telnet for? :s [12:33] ok hopefully i will back on xubuntu [12:34] littlebear72: bloodofthwolf, yeah, it is strange. Open up, check cables, settings, etc etc etc etc, [12:34] Oh [12:34] Jack_Sparrow: what syntax do i post it as? [12:34] the assumption that the hardware is set up properly is usually a downside for most [12:34] ikonia? [12:35] littlebear72: HEhe, didn't even consider he might not have SATA [12:35] tssom: Just copy and paste [12:35] lmao its a old hardware lol i assume most old is ide [12:35] sveakex: odd, I have port 23 open too, but it identifies itself as openssh. [12:35] littlebear72: Yeah, but I missed that fact, that it was old :D [12:35] i still think it is possible the bios is too old for the ubu kernel [12:36] Jack_Sparrow: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51074/ [12:36] sveakex: I dont think its anything to worry about. [12:36] I need to change from dhcp to a static ip from a command line. Which files besides /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/resolv.conf do I need to mess with? Also, for some reason, route add default gw x.x.x.x won't stick after a reboot on another box I'm playing with. Is there a text file somewhere that I can put this info in permanently? [12:36] while booting my 7.10 ubuntu is hanging with the message "loading manual drivers".. I have to reset then, any thoughts ? [12:36] pici, my friend would love to hack into my system throught port 23 :S [12:36] i find vlc nice. do you think that it's a good idea to set it as the default player for audio and video instead of totem? :D [12:36] tssom: If you are having problems shift-paste this into a term to get a copy on your desktop.. cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf ~/Desktop/xorg.conf.$(date +%m-%d-%Y-%T) [12:36] sveakex: You can use firestarter to close that port. [12:36] !firewall | sveakex [12:36] sveakex: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [12:37] wers: its my default and you can always change i back later if something goes wrong [12:37] sveakex, i just installed that and i am am unable to set up any rules :s [12:37] sveakex: Why not? [12:37] tssom: While you are wainting make sure you have a backup of xorg and know where it is... [12:37] pici, i have no idea, the add rule button is grayed out [12:37] or ni [12:37] no [12:37] is it possible to have a LAMP with 300mhz, and 64mb RAM? [12:37] littlebear72, i understand that.I'm just thinking of reasons why it's good to settle with totem other than its being a GNOME app [12:37] it wasnt [12:37] my bad soz [12:38] pici, or it is grayed out when i want to edit outbound traffic [12:38] hello, if anyone here is running ubuntu on a macbook with a os x partition, would it be possible to us your isight firmware to make my isight work in ubuntu.. i don't have an os x partition [12:38] pici, but not inbound [12:38] Niteye, should be [12:38] sveakex: let me open mine, give me a second. [12:38] tssom: that is your failsfae one.. that wont help fix the problem [12:38] Niteye, I have a 300mhz + 96mb ram that works fine [12:38] punkshui: look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MacBookPro in section isight, and follow the instruction [12:39] cp: cannot create regular file `/root/Desktop/xorg.conf.01-07-2008-13:38:19': No such file or directory [12:39] punkshui: the firmware is included in the tgz [12:39] Niteye: I run it on a slug (266Mhz, 16MB RAM), and it's slow, but works :) [12:39] no other reason just someone prefferd it and then it just stuck wers i have not had a hassle since i made it the default program for media do not uninstallt he others that way if there is a dependancy issue there is no hassle just use the other as your preffered default [12:39] sveakex: Try clicking in the area where a rule would appear before using the add-rule button [12:39] cvasilak i was under the impression that that was an automatic firmware loader, and that it automatically got the firmware from the os x partition [12:39] tssom: You typed it manually? [12:39] Niteye: Depends what u wanna do with it [12:39] no [12:40] Jack_Sparrow: anyways, i got a backup of the file now [12:40] i want a phpBB forum on it [12:40] pici, i click policy? [12:40] hi there! anyone know where to find boot diskettes for ubuntu with net-drivers? [12:40] Oh Now I see whats wrong, my partition table changed ... my sdc1 is now called sda1 [12:40] how can I change that [12:40] tssom: that is your failsafe one.. that wont help fix the problem [12:40] punkshui: I am afraid not, isight works perfectly under ubunty 7.10, follow the instructions and you will have it [12:40] Jack_Sparrow: ok [12:41] I have SAA1734 tv-card for terrestial DVB... anyone know how to watch tv on my Gutsy? [12:41] hairulfr: you mentioned you had hassles with the live cd for 7.10 i had simular issues that cleared up when i first booted in to ubuntu without the live cd [12:41] tssom: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [12:41] Niteye, shouldn't be a problem to run phpbb [12:41] I installed kaddress book, opened it and put in all of my numbers and addresses. When I closed it and wanted to open it again I couldn't find the application where it was supposed to be [12:41] sveakex: Click on the 'allow service' area, and then just input the services that you want to allow. [12:41] cvasilak alright, thanks for the advice though I have done this tutorial before without success but i will try again [12:41] surabaya [12:42] Anyone ? how did this happen my /dev/sda1 turned into /dev/sdb1 [12:42] littlebear72: Weird, it must be common then. Never had probs before. Had optics probs, harddrive probs, but most persistent is the refusal to recognize my GFX card, forcing me to reconfigure xserver when booting live cd [12:42] punkshui: no problem, good luck! [12:42] shivy, they'll change depending on what order they're plugged in, powered up, etc [12:42] Jack_Sparrow: btw, on line 48 in the config. i set it to that just to try it. [12:42] sveakex: It will block everything else. [12:43] Jack_Sparrow: in reality i have a 8600GS [12:43] i have 4 different sets of hardware here and i only had hassles with a system that had onboard video the rest went swimmingly witht he same cd hairulfr [12:43] shivy, if you need the disk to stay in one spot, you can access the disk by using its uuid, which can be found by running ls -ahl /dev/disk/by-uuid [12:43] tssom: I see no monitor V/H refresh rates etc.. did you ever add them to the xorg? [12:43] Well I Partitioned sdc1 to be an ext3 for more space. but now THATS sda1 en my original sda1 is sdb1 and sdb1 is now SDC1 [12:44] nope, it all worked fine after fresh install. is was when i upgraded the kernel i got this problem [12:44] well the problem is that my gnome session wont start ... and now I noticed this ! [12:44] Jack_Sparrow: and beeing that the kernel upgrade was all automaticly, i assumed everything was in order [12:44] littlebear72: The weird thing is, that this system im on now, I've had six diffrent distros on, and ubuntu since 6. something, without ever having the gfx probs [12:45] i suppose they can test all types of hardware thats just not reasonable there is bound to be some teething issues [12:45] anyone can tell where or howto make bootdisk to install from floppy? [12:45] when following the guide on how to install open source radeon drivers it tells me to Use the "Restricted Driver Manager" and make sure "ATI accelerated graphics driver" is not in use. but in the restricted driver manager it is in use but there is no way to disable it.... anyone know how? [12:45] Jack_Sparrow: so should i do sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg? [12:46] littlebear72: Yeah, but it just seems strange that it occurs suddenly from one release to the other. [12:46] man even winblows gets a bsod on initial presentation lmao thats always a odd thing to watch [12:46] tssom: It was a script.. it was not automatic.. and it was the kernal.. not your xorg devices... I assume you never bothered with any type of backup [12:46] aknot, does the computer the boot floppy is for have a drive that can read your Ubuntu cd? [12:46] Jack_Sparrow: hehe nope, i new to linux. [12:46] tssom: Yes, that was my suggestion .. not many options [12:46] When I start snes9x in Wine, the process starts and I get sound, but the program is nowhere to be found. Any ideas what's wrong? [12:46] Jack_Sparrow: how do find the V/H refresh rates to use tho? [12:46] littlebear72: Windows always seem to get BSOD on initial presentations. I love the look on bills face, sorta calm, but beneath "KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL" [12:46] last 4 releases for young bill gates has seen him have a blue screen every time [12:47] tssom: Linux or windows.. you should have some sort of backup [12:47] !offtopic [12:47] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter.

[13:04] Brownster: thats also an idea [13:04] allobjects: thanks... but would I be better off going to the linux wacom project IRC channel? [13:04] aknot, what I did was I got a 1gb usb key, and used dd to write the image straight to the usb key (ie, dd if=ubuntu.iso of=/dev/sdx1) and then plugged the usb key in, used a grub boot floppy to boot from it, messed around in /dev (moved the cd device to hdc-1 and then mv'ed the usb key (sdx1) to hdc) and then proceeded to install as normal [13:04] if it helps any. [13:05] aknot, there is also a floppy called smart boot manager, which might be worth a look, boots from floppy then lets u choose device to continue booting from, if driver is available for your usb cdrom ie it's recognised that might work too [13:05] Jack_Sparrow: ubuntu 6.0.6 [13:05] LeventersoY: which one are you tryong to install.. I thought you had 6.06 and were upgrading? [13:05] cprussin: If theu have a channel it can't hurt.. I persoanly only use a Graphire 4 CTE440 which does work out of the box.

[14:10] Hi all, do you know a tool to print source code easily on the printer ? it would be very useful for me :) [14:11] @david on bitcomet where do you save ur file | if you save on wine drive it should be on /home/youraccount/.wine [14:11] hi, is it possible that i do not have an internet connection in "wine" but do have a connection in ubuntu ? [14:11] whyameye: back [14:11] Zmax`, lpr [14:11] IdleOne: find doesnt work for me i dont think i type find and it returns instantly that it cant find the file [14:11] chainlynx: uhm [14:11] david919: try locate [14:11] @if ubuntu connect to internet so do wine [14:12] IdleOne: doesn't appear to do anything [14:12] whyameye: i got it to work. the module was not correct build due to the fact i've put it in restricted_modules conf file [14:12] Djoef: wine doesnt get internet connection. the app you are running might have issues getting connection [14:12] is there a way to get rythmbox to act like itunes with importing music? that it would copy the files in the right directorys and stuff? [14:12] sint: cool. Glad you are all set. [14:12] IdleOne: how do i solve this ? [14:12] david919: what is the location it is telling you>? [14:12] whyameye: don't know why, but i think there was a tutorial, i was trying yesterday which told me to [14:12] IdleOne: it just goes to a fresh line in terminal [14:12] Djoef: #winehq might be able to help more [14:12] chainlynx: does lpr print also in an highlighted mode ? [14:12] ok thanks [14:13] david919: what dir is bitcomet giving you? [14:13] Zmax`: gedit can print with hilighted syntax [14:13] whyameye: i wonder if its possible to be online with eth0 and ath0 at the same time. right now i can only choose one of them with wicd [14:13] Jack_Sparrow: I can choose between 800x600 and 640x480, and I know it doesn't look bad to me either, I don't know [14:13] IdleOne: C:/Downloads [14:13] hey im having trouble trying to share a hd over the windows network [14:13] zdrw [14:14] sint: sorry. Not sure. [14:14] Lacrymology: For a test. sudo dpkg again.. but select vesa as the video card and 1024 max... [14:14] whyameye: ok, no problem [14:14] IdleOne: i checked in /home/david/.wine/Unsupported-2/drive_c/Downloads my other 2 torrents are there that havent finnished downloading but the one i downloaded isnt [14:14] whyameye: thanks for help anyway :) [14:14] Pici: yes, but I cannot control the dimension of characters, can I ? [14:14] Zmax`: You may be able to, check the print options [14:15] how i can prevent sudo from resetting my path? [14:15] @lacromology you need to specify the horizon and vertical rate on xorg.conf easier way is to choose your monitor from ubuntu screen and graphics [14:15] how can I make my USB speakers the default sound device? [14:15] please [14:15] david919: check the settings see if it isnt moving the file to another dir when completed [14:15] Pici: I would like to automate that process.. so I can print for example the kernel source.. [14:15] IdleOne: checked that too =( [14:15] Pici: I won't print pages manually... [14:15] david919: #winehq or the bitcomet forums if they have any [14:15] @david it should be on /home/youraccount/.wine/drive_c/ [14:15] Jack_Sparrow: same [14:16] IdleOne: thanks [14:16] jelantik: he has already set h/v rates [14:16] jelantik: should be but ive checked and its not =( [14:16] @david every file with . in front is hidden use ctrl+h to show them up on file manager [14:16] Lacrymology: no idea.. something odd is up.. are you running in vb or under wubi or something that is NOT a standard install? [14:17] jelantik, how can i hide those files when for example I am in a savefile dialog? [14:17] @jack then the driver is the problem sigh [14:17] whyameye, all users share the same group, all the docs on sticky bits are abit confusing, some even say it's obsolete and refers to programs in memory not files [14:17] sandr-: add a . in front of filename [14:17] jelantik: work on it for him... brb [14:17] hi anyone knows a soundcard manufacture with ubuntu support AND these cards need to be pcmcia oder expresscard slot cards?! === why is now known as sbucat [14:17] Jack_Sparrow: no [14:18] !hardware | uKKeMan check this link for supported cards [14:18] uKKeMan check this link for supported cards: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [14:18] well not every with . is hidden lol [14:18] anyone know how to share a folder between all users with full read/write access [14:18] Jack_Sparrow: everything was fine on friday, shut down, went home for the weekend. It's not working now [14:18] no, how do I hide hidden directories in a savefile dialog? when for example you have to browse to a path/dir when saving/downloading a file [14:18] hasiu [14:19] hai [14:19] w6: hello [14:19] Open Office keeps trying to "recover" a document I deleted intentionally. How can I keep it from trying to recover the document? [14:19] Pici: u there ? [14:19] yea [14:19] jimcooncat: let it and when it doesnt find it it should stop trying [14:20] sean_csve, chmod 777 [14:20] IdleOne: no, it keeps trying, unfortunately. Been bugging me for two weeks now. [14:20] w6, are u Pici ? [14:20] chainlynx: but new files will not have the correct permissions without turning the sticky bit on as well. besides, is 777 a good idea? [14:20] chainlynx, yes but the next file created after that has only the users permissions I can't keep doing that every 5 minutes [14:20] or can I with a cron [14:21] Zmax`: Hmm? [14:21] jimcooncat: interesting issue. [14:21] hohoho just add .bblaablbla [14:21] sean_csve: I'm not sure what was confusing about the link I sent. for the director just do chmod g+s and the permissions should stick for new files in that directory. [14:21] jelantik: It would be hard for it to be the video driver if he tried vesa generic driver and still could not get 1024 [14:21] Pici: do you also, in the past, printed linux kernel or part of it ? [14:22] Pici: I'd like to print linux-0.0.1 [14:22] Zmax`: No, I've never printed the linux kernel. [14:22] can someone do me a favor and pastebin their xorg.conf video device, and screen sections? [14:22] Lacrymology: Did you do any updates on firday or antyhing that might be a clue? [14:22] jimcooncat: #openoffice.org [14:22] @jack he said it was fine back then [14:22] Jack_Sparrow: I don't think so, no. I'm changing back to nv instead of nvidia, just for a check [14:23] Pici: ok, sorry for the strange question ;) [14:23] any way i can just remove whatever running "ati-driver-installer-8.443.1-x86.x86_64.run" did? :P.. [14:23] sorry whyameye , I missed the link and just started googling sticky bits, that looks good [14:23] jelantik: No.. he just tried vesa and it did not go to 1024 [14:24] I'm trying to view a stream on mplayer that uses h264 codecs..but the thing is whenever I open URL and click ok it says "error gnome_screensaver..." [14:24] sean_csve: yeah I'm no Linux expert but I think sticky bits used to have another function which is now obsolete but it can still be used for what you want. I think a cron job would be sloppy and could even be confusing for your users. [14:25] if you using nvidia try nvidia-settings->x server display configuration->change resolution->save to x configuration [14:25] anyone who has isight working on their macbook please help [14:25] gnome_screensaver_control() [14:25] what next if 'ls /dev |grep video' gives nothing? [14:25] that is the error I get [14:25] that's where google stops being sueful [14:26] I got it [14:26] I need help with the following "The following packages have been kept back: [14:26] bluez-cups bluez-utils libbluetooth-dev libbluetooth2" I found a libc6 to be the cause === meshugga_ is now known as meshugga [14:26] anyone who has isight working on their macbook please help [14:27] MrFeetio: what is the issue exactly. if they are kept back it is for a reason [14:27] punkshui: ask a question [14:27] does anyone have isight working on their macbook? [14:27] :/ [14:27] punkshui: lmao sorry I read isight as insight [14:27] well, there are being kept back because of libc6 seems to be out of date [14:27] !ppd [14:28] Sorry, I don't know anything about ppd - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [14:28] punkshui: I am afraid your last chance is to install macosx just to extract the firmware as the macbook wiki suggests [14:28] IdleOne very good site, IF you already know which of these cards are pcmcia or express slot cards [14:28] cvasilak i'm wondering if anyone who has osx installed could just send me the files i need [14:28] could i access them natively? [14:28] uKKeMan: ok you have a list of working cards. now google for the cards and see what suits your specs and price range :) [14:28] now I get "Couldn't Resolve name for AF..." I used to get this before but I could always click the OK button and be able to watch fine. Now I can't close it [14:29] IdleOne: im back in a year ;/ [14:29] @punkshui why do you want osx [14:29] seems the blueman repo is at fault [14:29] uKKeMan: if your going to have that attitude then yeah [14:29] hi, how do i upgrade my pidgin to 2.3.1 in ubuntu 7.10 [14:29] punkshui: why not try http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=211 and ask for someone to post it to you [14:29] apt-get is not showing it [14:30] pkundu_, i use the getdeb pack [14:30] anyone? [14:30] pkundu_: I got the source from pidgin site and was able to get all dependencies using synaptic and did not need to change repos [14:30] how can i close a connection with a specific ip? [14:30] jelantik i don't want os x i don't have it. but i seem to require a file from it in order to get my isight camera working [14:30] toni_ how to do that? [14:31] ask google for getdeb [14:31] ok toni_ [14:31] my problem is with 2.2.1 pidgin i can not login to gtalk [14:32] any solution for that [14:32] well, why can't you login? [14:32] I add multiple ips to one eth, having eth0 = ip, eth0:1 = other ip, for some reason my server takes eth0:1 for the main ip, is there somewhere I can setup so it picks eth0 as the main ip? [14:33] @punkshui hmm have no idea.. try more googling... :P [14:33] urabaya [14:33] surabaya === kaja is now known as Kaja [14:33] ooo arek gendeng [14:34] scguy318: I set up gtalk as said but still it ant log me in [14:34] pkundu_: Get the source from pidgin, it wont be in the repos... most of the time you can install most build dependencies through e.g. sudo apt-get build-dep pidgin 2.3.1 [14:34] some error it is giving [14:35] that worked a treat whatameye. cheers [14:35] who had the isight issue? === hwilde_ is now known as hwilde [14:35] pkundu_, i installed the deb from http://www.getdeb.net/ [14:36] toni_ 's getdeb is great [14:36] my mplayer keeps crashing..I can't view anything [14:36] let me try [14:36] I am new to ubuntu/deb , so far was using fedora and redhat for 8 yrs [14:37] yes toni_ downloading from there [14:37] pkundu_, here you can find some unofficial updates, but keep attention for libreries [14:37] ok toni_ [14:38] what reported from your mplayer [14:39] jelantik, well I was getting Couldn't resolve name for AF_INET6...so I edited the config to not make that come up [14:39] so now when I try to play something mplayer just stays black and I can't close it or anything [14:40] any planner user?

Isn't there a way, as in editing /etc/hosts/, to declare two host names equivalent e.g. alonghostname.company.com boo [14:48] I know you can do it if you fix the ip address, but I'm wondering how to do it while forcing dns [14:48] calux: Please practice your english writing in #Ubuntu-offtopic [14:48] s/dns/a dns lookup [14:48] ok, thanks IdleOne [14:48] calux: you are welcome [14:48] bastid_raZor: I think its actually a third party applet and doesn't come with the distro install [14:49] hmm what video player can play h264 video ? try play using vlc : ) [14:49] mplayer can do it sometimes [14:49] bullium:: ahh, i must have the package then. i use that monitor [14:49] i back if i had some question, thanks in advance [14:49] jelantik: but linux lacks hardware decoding of HD content so many movies wont run [14:50] When I type.

HAve you run gui apps with sudo and not gksudo [15:01] is there any gtalk for ubuntu [15:01] shazoor: pidgin has gtalk built in [15:01] shazoor, there is a gtalk - plug-in replacement for standard talk in ubuntu [15:02] !gtalk > shazoor [15:02] @shazoor try this http://www.google.com/talk/otherclients.html [15:03] buenas [15:03] Jack_Sparrow: a root password is set [15:04] Hi, how do I check what application is using my OSS sound? [15:04] lamalex: setting a root password can really get a user into trouble, which is why we advise against it [15:04] sabeis si solo se pueden instalar paquetes en el disco duro interno? [15:04] !pt [15:04] Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [15:04] i am using gaim in feisty fawn, but i want it to upgrape to pidgin. i have downloaded .deb package but it says that the packge is already installed but actually it is not so. what should i do [15:05] shazoor: the instructions where you got the package said to be sure to remove the old package first. [15:05] Jack_Sparrow: I don't think that's it. This machine has had a root password since breezy [15:05] i am using gaim in feisty fawn, but i want it to upgrape to pidgin. i have downloaded .deb package but it says that the packge is already installed but actually it is not so. what should i do? [15:05] and gksu just stopped working recently [15:05] lamalex: It isnt the fact that the password was set. it is what all you did while using it [15:05] relogin [15:06] shazoor uninstall gaim first, then install pidgin [15:06] oh, nothing [15:06] root account is never used [15:06] it's just set [15:06] if it is used it's for a DSH [15:06] what´s up with gksu? [15:06] no there was not any such instructions. and is it compulsory to remove gaim to install pidgin [15:06] and that's nothing graphical [15:06] rbo1: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4090160#post4090160 [15:06] hello people :D [15:07] howdy people [15:07] lamalex: I dont want to get into a discussion, but there is no reason to set it manually if you never planned on using it [15:07] relogin [15:07] shazoor are you sure pidgin isn't available in synaptic? [15:07] shazoor: Did you get it from getdeb? [15:07] Jack_Sparrow: it is used, but not in gnome [15:07] is it compulsory to remove gaim to install pidgin [15:07] I am trying to use smart package manager, but it says I'd need 'rpm python module'. What do I do now? :S [15:07] I'm having issues with USB fat key days [15:07] er drives [15:07] How do I check what processes are using my OSS sound?

[15:38] gary_inNYC: you probably need to run it from a terminal (Applications > Accessories > Terminal) and it probably wants a rom as a commmand line option [15:38] XxXValeteXxX: Where are you getting smart package manager.. sounds like you are trying to do something you shouldnt [15:38] !ntfs [15:38] To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see /msg ubotu NTFS-3g or /msg ubotu FUSE [15:38] silus: Where do you know?

DRebellion ? [15:41] gary_inNYC: start it with root permissions [15:41] komputes: check out... most of the time you can install most build dependencies through e.g. sudo apt-get build-dep gimp [15:41] yes [15:41] aszwet1: sshserver == sshd [15:41] silus: But why do you think it's vulnerable? [15:41] Jack_Sparrow: only list dependancies, not install [15:41] i was running as normal user [15:41] komputes, sudo apt-get install package; package provides [15:41] vlt trust me :) [15:41] LOL [15:42] aszwet1: is it preinstalled or a package i can't find? how can i configure it? [15:42] two more guys with the same blackscreen problem [15:42] Dr_willis: It does not state it can change region codes, I don't just need a clone, I need a region code free rip [15:42] thats 3 [15:42] this is a new issue as i was able to run it before until just recently [15:42] ssh user@host [15:42] in one hour... Wtf is going on with Ubuntu 7.10? Really [15:42] hwilde: that actually installs the package which i do not want to do [15:42] are you working on the server or the client DRebellion?

[15:43] is there a way to manually check a package's signature to verify its integrity? [15:43] nox-Hand, i got no idea what it can do. :) ive never messed with regions. Ive never see/heard of one that just removes regions. it may be faster to do a 'decoded' clone however. [15:43] DRebellion, sudo apt-get install openssh-server [15:44] then on the client sudo apt-get install ssh [15:44] #kubuntu-es [15:44] silus: Could you point me to a bug report or something where I can read more about it? [15:44] nox-Hand, of course if you could play it in a PC. that would normally get around the region stuff wouldent it? [15:44] join #kubuntu-es [15:44] DRebellion, is it a local connection or a remote one? [15:44] aszwet1: yeah, i was looking for that package in the applications > add/remove programs but couldnt find it. didnt want to leap straight into the commandline package manager within first hour of using apt ( i just migrated from fedora) [15:45] would i normally have to run zsnes as root? [15:45] gary_inNYC: no idea [15:45] gary_inNYC, i do not have to run zsnes as root here. [15:45] gary_inNYC: i don't think so either [15:45] Jack_Sparrow: Thanks, That made a folder inside the drive that I do have permission to read/write. How do I get the drive to appear in "Computer" [15:45] gary_inNYC, sounds like somthing permission wise is goofing up. [15:45] yeah it wouldn't be in the add remove, try using synaptic it works better :) DRebellion. [15:45] vlt let me check. [15:45] aszwet1: thanks [15:46] gary_inNYC: you may change permissions so that the program can access files (man chmod in your shell) [15:46] komputes, maybe the apt-file package will help you, try that [15:46] 1) Given a filename, how can I find out which package it came from. 2) How do I determine (list) dependencies for a package? 3)Is there a way to manually check a package's signature to verify its integrity? [15:46] no prob, so DRebellion are you going to be setting that up for a remote connection? or only a local connection? [15:46] kk i'll keep looking into it thanks everyone for the info [15:46] chuy: Glad it worked.. I was just leaving for a break..

[16:19] or a guide for installing kde 4 with 3.5.8 installed too [16:19] Pici, no. I have n't. I will look there. [16:19] asaup: thats what you want to do, upgrade your install to 4.X [16:19] ikonia: no [16:19] VSpike: I don't see it in the list, but I do have "/dev/hdb1 /media/Spidora ext3 defaults,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 0" in my fstab [16:19] ikonia: i want to remove everything that has to do with kde [16:19] and install a fresh copy [16:20] of kde 4 rc2 [16:20] asaup: the fact that you can't understand what that involves suggests you shouldn't bother [16:20] chuy: does /media/Spidora exist? [16:20] asaup: kde has many libraries and associations, removing them is a lot of effort when in reality what you actually want is to upgrade them to the version you want [16:20] ikonia, yes, but I want to know the package name .. I have tried to list all possible JS packages and the files they provide still I donot have any answers for /usr/lib/libjs.so [16:21] VSpike: Yes, to the best of my knowledge that is the harrdrive in question. [16:21] ikonia: i know that but can you help me please remove all of them [16:21] asaup if you can give me 2 reasons why you want to remove everything rather than upgrading I'll help [16:21] chuy: I mean you have to create an empty directory in /media called Spidora to act as the mount point. Did you do that? [16:21] ikonia: the first reason is that i am new and i messed up 3.5.8 with 4 [16:22] asaup right - so in that case re-install kubuntu and start again as your messing with beta products [16:22] asaup: so you have a known starting point [16:22] VSpike: Yes, I do have a /media/Spidora [16:22] chuy: if you type "sudo mount -a" does it mount it? [16:23] ikonia: i just know how to remove packages and reinstall them but i dont know what to remove excatly [16:23] reel: what wants that file,. it looks like it's a file that redhat are packaging up seperate from the jvm package [16:23] silus: /var/tmp/ and /dev/shm/ are empty. What exactly are xou looking for in /tmp? [16:23] VSpike: same error message. [16:24] asaup: and there is my point, your messing with things you have zero clue about, you will find it easier to re-install to a known good state and then upgrade to the kde4.x version you want [16:24] reel: what is complaining about that file I should say [16:24] ikonia: i just wanted to know what to remove. anyways if this is a problem for you thank you anyway [16:25] asaup: I'm trying to save you a lot of effort, the kde desktop is linked into ubuntu quite solidly, there is no reason to remove everything [16:25] chuy: just for kicks, can you do "sudo fsck -f /dev/hdb1" [16:25] ikonia: without making errors and trying i cant learn. i am trying to do something i havent done before. [16:25] asaup: great, so try then rather asking someone to do it for you, thats not learning [16:26] asaup: there are guides on the forum that you can use for a "base" to start your attempts. [16:26] hi guyz, need some help with setting up my tomboy reminder extension, which i got from this website:- "http://linux.softpedia.com/get/Desktop-Environment/Tools/Tomboy-Reminder-Plugin-9116.shtml". It says on the README file that to install the extension, i have to simply run the following command : 1) "./configure" 2) "make" 3) "make install" (as root) ....so i first executed the "$ ./configure" command in terminal, and [16:26] it out puts a "config.log" file in the directory as a log/text file ...but when i execute the "$ make" command in terminal, it outputs "make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop." ... any ideas what is should do to make this work...thnx [16:26] asaup: look at the upgrade doc, look what it installs and use it as a base idea of what to remove. [16:26] does ubuntu automatically generate mountpoints under /media without using gnome or kde? === eoL|SaldainiS is now known as SaldainiS [16:26] ikonia: thats why i asked here. anyways thanks. [16:26] t35t0r: I believe hald and debus does that [16:26] B-rabbit: Did you get any errors when you did ./configure? [16:26] ikonia, no it doesn't [16:27] ikonia, not without using konqueror or gnome's naut [16:27] B-rabbit: run ./configure again and look at the last few lines for any error messages [16:27] t35t0r: what ? konqueror is a file browser and nothing to do with mount points [16:27] Pici, no i did not get any out put on the terminal [16:27] ikonia: what you say may be right. Since packages.ubuntu.com cannot find any file with this name. It is a JS devel library that I need to compile MediaTomb with. The problem apparently it seems is Ubuntu's JS package as it is got from xulrunner not from spidermonkey :( [16:27] VSpike, ok, i will try that [16:28] ikonia, ok try this ..ssh into your ubunut box ..plug in an external usb device ..go to /media ..does the mountpoint exist? [16:28] hello i was wondering if anyone could help me configure my screen properly. i'm connected to a widescreen LCD TV via VGA cable and the aspect ratio is stretched out. any help would be appreciated. [16:28] how can i check which chipset is there on my xubuntu box? [16:28] make sure you aren't logged into the gui [16:28] t35t0r: yes, because I have hal/dbus running [16:28] nanbudh: lspci maybe [16:28] t35t0r: but hal/debus only run because gnome is there [16:28] are you logged into the gui? [16:28] t35t0r: yes [16:28] VSpike: [16:28] fsck 1.40.2 (12-Jul-2007) [16:28] e2fsck 1.40.2 (12-Jul-2007) [16:28] Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes [16:28] t35t0r: well actually no - not directly [16:28] ikonia, that's what i mean make sure you aren't logged into gnome or kde [16:29] silus: And what google result from you link did you mean? Where can I find more about Apache's vulnerability? [16:29] i want something that works from the cli no matter what desktop i'm using [16:29] panfist: i think theres an option in System > Administration > Screens and Graphics [16:29] to make it widescreen [16:29] Does anyone know how to tell the ubuntu installer to use the 8139too driver instead of the 8139cp driver for my realtek fast ethernet pci network card (maybe as boot parameter)? [16:29] t35t0r: your missing the point. It's nothing to do with being logged in, its to do with your user being able to interact with hal/debus - which without gnome/kde you can't [16:29] chuy: it's still processing? [16:29] ikonia, so you're missing the point of my original question: t35t0r does ubuntu automatically generate mountpoints under /media without using gnome or kde? [16:29] Pici, VSpike : ok i got an error message now "http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51097/" [16:29] t35t0r: its nothing to do with konqueror it's the fact that hal/debus pickup events and use the desktop environment to notify [16:30] VSpike: [16:30] Pass 2: Checking directory structure [16:30] Pass 3: Checking directory connectivity [16:30] Pass 4: Checking reference counts [16:30] Pass 5: Checking group summary information [16:30] /dev/hdb1: 11/9781248 files (9.1% non-contiguous), 352991/19537040 blocks [16:30] drebellion i checked it, but it still hasnt fixed the stretchiness. i've tried a bunch of different resolutions but the TV's native resolution isn't listed and many other widescreen resolutions dont work [16:30] !paste | chuy [16:30] chuy: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel.

[18:01] ankur: mplayer [18:01] hacim: let me try installing it here again so I can walk you through what I do. flashplugin-nonfree is broken so it probably won't do anything [18:01] ankur, rhythmbox or beastie [18:01] jrib: ok, thanks [18:01] www.gnome-files.org [18:01] Hi Guys ... What is the BEST ::) KDE or Gnome ? [18:01] !beastie [18:01] Sorry, I don't know anything about beastie - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [18:01] WooD, that's so highly subjective [18:01] WooD: Don't start that flame war [18:01] lol [18:01] lol ok [18:02] is there anyone who can help me install my webcam? it won't take long [18:02] WooD: My suggestion, try both! [18:02] !mplayer | ankur [18:02] ankur: mplayer is a media player. It resides in the mutiverse repository and can easily be installed via applications -> add/remove. For codecs try !codecs [18:02] What is the last version of KDE ? 3.5.1 ? [18:02] dravine, does beastie have party mode [18:02] yes [18:02] ok [18:02] it's almost exactly like rhythmbox [18:02] bulmer: ok... I should be able to add one generic drop rule that says: If not allowed by any accept rule, then drop? [18:02] miknex, have you tried to google for it yet? [18:02] but written in a different language I think [18:02] WooD: kde 4 is coming out very soon [18:02] my spca won't compile and looking into another way to install the webcam [18:02] Sooo, noone has experienced ubuntu freeze up at the screen saver as you log in?

You may also require to reload the partition table before formatting. You can do this fast by: sudo fdisk /dev/ then W as an option to live-write the table [18:04] ankur, yes it does [18:04] enable the crossfade plugin [18:05] genii, am i gonna have to make this all the time, each time I will reboot ? [18:05] dravine, thnx [18:05] aszwet1: that was to answer of running mkfs before or after parted, which is to say after. [18:05] aszwet1: No, formatting is a onetime deal, also the partitioning [18:05] hacim: ok, I deleted ~/.mozilla/plugins/, then extracted libflashplayer.so from adobe's tar.gz to ~/.mozilla/plugins/. Finally, I ran 'nspluginwrapper -i ~/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so' and restarted firefox. Try that again, maybe the npwrapper file you had was left over from when you ran nspluginwrapper on /usr/lib/firefox/libflashplayer.so and was causing problems [18:05] miknex, i usually missed responses not prefixed with my nick [18:05] oh crap...

[18:08] ... [18:08] Ok, i'll try that [18:08] lord [18:08] Brandon_: when you boot your computer, you get a menu for what kernel you want to boot. That's your grub menu.

After this to format the drive, do: sudo mkfs.ext3 /dev/sde [18:22] riko`: you have to use the driver from the ati site for the 8800, it was released after gutsy was released [18:22] is there anything I have to do? Device manager doesn't even recognize the 8800gt [18:22] riko`: erm, nvidia site that is [18:22] oh [18:22] that explains it! [18:22] Nickrud, ty, and just for curiousity - what metacity actually is? [18:22] adelie, AH! that's not GPG [18:22] sorry [18:23] could anyone please help me try to get my monitor to display in native resolution? no matter what i change in xorg.conf all i get in the screens and graphics window is the same old generic "plug and play" monitor [18:23] thanks nickrud! [18:23] Karolis: it's the default window manager [18:23] I misunderstood what you meant [18:23] cd into .ssh in your home directory, you should find your keys there [18:23] panfist : what kind of monitor do you have [18:23] panfist: have you tried setting the correct horiz sync and vert refresh rates in xorg.conf? [18:23] nickrud and why didn't it work when the new account was created? Or is it 'just is' thing? [18:23] panfist: Have you tried adding resolutions and the like to your xorg.conf? [18:23] Hello. I got a load of "1.00 1.00 1.00" on a nearly idle machine. This is a vmstat line "1 0 7776 79244 7980 82032 0 0 0 12 1793 735 0 0 100 0". How can I find out what causes this suspicious exact load of 1.00? --output of `top`: http://pastebin.ca/844996 [18:24] FYI: I have resolved my usb drive mounting issues [18:24] mikenex it's a 32 inch tv, native res 1366x768 [18:24] thanx genii! [18:24] Karolis: 'just broke' for a moment is my answer to that [18:24] aszwet1: Anytime [18:24] nickrud i have tried a few values i think might be right but they just seem to get ignored [18:24] what apps should i have to get onto itunes to buy music? I am using 7.10 [18:24] the problem was twofold, 1.) /system/storage/drives/ had a bad umask/fmask entry for the specific drive [18:24] panfist: well then it's just a plug n play I don't think you can find drivers for that [18:25] nickrud didn't get it :) but whatever. Thank you! Bye [18:25] panfist: Did you add that resolution to your xorg.conf and then select it as default? [18:25] just install the driver for the graphics card [18:25] hairulfr yes but no matter what values i add i get the default 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768 and 1600x1200 to choose from in the screen and graphics window [18:25] your TV should work fine [18:25] panfist: Weird [18:25] hey all its kadris from the forums [18:25] 2.) the mount options in /system/storage/default_options/vfat had a umask=077, which should have been 022 or 011 ideally [18:25] hairulfr what do you mean select it as the default [18:25] panfist: you would need to find the correct rates for the monitor, but I've never played around with tv out so I'll have to pass [18:25] how do I exit X without shutting down? [18:25] anyway, my issue is resolved [18:25] kadris* [18:25] riko`, ctrl-alt-backspace [18:25] Can someone help me out with my XORG? It seems to be the root of this seemingly random problem: after about 10 minutes of being logged into Ubuntu, programs sometimes freeze up, and then i cannot load programs again unless i reboot. [18:25] ok thanks! cya [18:26] later folks, gotta get back to work now [18:26] does anyone know if there is something like deep freeze for ubuntu [18:26] where is init.d located? [18:26] And if i log off, the X server won't load and it says it's due to an internal problem with X [18:26] riko`: log out, ctl-alt-f1 , hit enter, log in, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop , do your nvidia thing, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start [18:26] panfist : what type of graphics card do you use [18:27] miknex are you talking to me? [18:27] i need to erase all changes that occur by a particular user after every restart [18:27] is there a way to do this [18:27] mikenex geforce mx420 using proprietary drivers [18:27] Is there a way to transfer files through an ssh login without loging out and logging back in with sftp? [18:27] what do you guys yuse to configure your sound card ?? plz [18:27] Hallo folks, I have a friend of mine who's having an issue with 7.10. His mouse freezes and refuses to respond after his first few seconds logging in. Solutions? He's tried googling and found no real solutions... [18:27] panfist haha my buddy has that card and for the life of me i coulnd't get compiz to work on his laptop [18:27] adelie: just open another terminal [18:28] you can use alsaconf [18:28] :-\ [18:28] adelie, scp [18:28] freewilly gutsy still has it in alsa-utils ?? [18:28] mini-man: The mouse is broken. Try with a new one. had same issues. Windows ignores errors [18:28] there has to be something that will erase all changes of a user at every restart [18:28] akorn well compiz is working fine i just cant set the resolution. no matter what i put in xorg.conf it either gets completely ignored....or it breaks X completely [18:28] im not sure =\ === basti is now known as basti|off [18:28] no it works fine in windows [18:28] and it works fine in the first few seconds [18:28] where is init.d located? [18:28] hi! I hv ubuntu gutsy 7.10 installed. I want to change my home page from the root to another partition where I have more space. Pl advise [18:28] panfist have you tried alsaconf [18:29] /etc/init.d [18:29] mini-man: AS I SAID WINDOWS IGNORES ERRORS [18:29] he's dual booting [18:29] hmpanfist: and you have the restricted drivers installed, i'm assuming [18:29] So does anyone know how to change the password on the server version of ubuntu? [18:29] mikenex yeah [18:29] akorn not sure what that is [18:29] I mean without knowing the original password [18:29] that is wierd [18:29] mikenex and akorn here are the important parts of my xorg.conf http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51114/ [18:29] mini-man: So try with a new one and look at the bootlogs what it says when it is "loading the mouse" [18:29] I'll tell him that [18:30] sec [18:30] panfist let me look it up again i jus tused it to attach an external monitor with resolution over what my laptop monitor uses and it seems to have worked (except now my xorg crashes randomly haha) [18:30] jakel1: not an answer, but a pointer: if the user has no write privs to the system, you could run find on his home and remove everything after a certain date [18:30] go back into your xorg.conf files and delete anything you entered? [18:30] mini-man: Look at current bootlogs, it might tell you something about the mouse [18:30] mini-man: Or boot verbose [18:30] Brandon_: is that the root password you're talking about? [18:30] mikenex and what is that supposed to accomplish? i already have started over with a dpkg reconfigure somethingsomething [18:31] hi! sorry to disturb - I hv ubuntu gutsy 7.10 installed. I want to change my home page from the root to another partition where I have more space. Pl advise [18:31] akorn ok thanks im going to keep trying stuff [18:31] nickrud, yeah I believe so [18:31] nickrud good thought, but this is for a school and students need to have access to write files and make installations [18:31] ksbalaji: You mean you want to expand your Home partition? [18:31] !list [18:31] I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [18:32] panfist try running this in the terminal...it'll lead you through a step-by-step setup and might fix problems you're having... sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [18:32] Anyone have any clue when the flash thing will be fixed? (officially) [18:32] jakel1: maybe you can ask on edubuntu, it's for the educational version of ubuntu, maybe they know that use case [18:32] panfist: And look at what resolutions i gives you, choose then ones you want [18:32] *it [18:32] Brandon_: do you have to use sudo to do admin stuff? [18:33] nickrud, yes [18:33] hairulfr and akorn ok i'll try [18:33] panfist okay good luck, i have to go now [18:33] is there a way to set up apt-mirror to only mirror a certain list of packages instead of the entire repository? [18:33] panfist: seeing what you entered your graphics card won't understand those resolutions unless they were there by default [18:33] Brandon_: then boot into recovery mode (hit escape when you see something about grub during boot) and then you can change the user's password with passwd [18:34] mikenex im not sure what you mean by unless they were there by default [18:34] miknex unless they were where [18:34] ypanfist: did you enter those values for the resollution of your TV screen? [18:34] hey, so I tried ctrl+alt+bkspace but it didn [18:34] nickrud just one more question. How i make metacity run at start of each session of that user? [18:34] didn't go back to the console [18:34] Nikster: not a date, but a goal: konqueror fixed to use the new firefox plugin structure, iirc [18:35] Carlosh: that metacity --replace should have made it permanent ... Log out and in to test [18:35] how do i exit X and get to console? [18:35] riko`: log out, ctl-alt-f1 , hit enter, log in, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop , do your nvidia thing, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start [18:35] nickrud just done that. When I log on again the same thing happens. :\ [18:35] ubuntu is graet !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bill : you will die early... ah ah ah !!!! w$? no thanks!!!!!!!!! [18:35] cdavis_: For your earlier mailparse question, perhaps something useful for you here: http://www.cerb4.com/forums/showthread.php?t=244 [18:35] nickrud: im thinking more of the installing the flashplugin-nonfree through firefox [18:36] ah thx nickrud [18:36] Carlosh: hm, that sounds like a bug. Try another new user [18:36] nickrud, sup man? [18:36] ok i'm using the xorg reconfigure tool and it doesnt list the resolution i want in the list... [18:36] seek 6on6 20:30 server off [18:36] shanks_: not much, killing a little time before work. [18:36] k7: Bill gates is gonna quit. he made a video with Bono a Jay C, or jz or whatever the guy's called... haha. Lamer [18:36] nickrud, I see, cool. Solve my problems with Ubuntu. Made a whole new install... lols [18:36] Solved* [18:36] shanks_: heh === shanks_ is now known as Shanks [18:37] nickrud, just hope that things just stay bug free [18:37] did you try something panfist? [18:37] Shanks: it's *always* user error ;P [18:38] how do you check your system performance from console? [18:38] mikenex yeah i just restarted X after doing the xorg configuration wizard. but nothing changed because only resolutions i could already select and do not want to use were available in the tool [18:38] nickrud, ah, come on, I did nothing wrong last time. It all started with corefonts, Don't know why but that screwed up my locale [18:38] genii, thanks that is where my problem is originating from, can't get cerberus 4 insatlled [18:38] panfist: can you pastebin your xorg, please === ircleuser is now known as WooD [18:39] nickrud same thing with new user. :\ [18:39] Shanks: that was a joke :) There's always a way to fix things, but finding it can be more trouble than it's worth [18:39] nickrud, true [18:39] hairulfr this was my xorg.conf until i just reconfigured it http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51114/ [18:40] nickrud, so, can I try installing corefonts and truecrypt again? [18:40] hi, when playing a realplayer video I have blue like colors in the playback, for everything else I have no problems. Anyone ever experienced something similar? [18:40] Carlosh: hm. Thinking... maybe productively [18:40] panfist: what is the res you need? [18:40] genii, ok i am in parted now [18:40] panfist: 1366x...? [18:40] aszwet1: The normal commandline one most ppl use is top. you can exit by q key [18:41] What is the Best Format File System for a Hard drive to be R/W on Windows and Ubuntu ? I want to be able to R/W on Windows and Ubuntu [18:41] nickrud > I have time. There's no rush.. ;) [18:41] hairulfr yes 1366 x 768 would be ideal [18:41] can anyone help me ive been haveing major problems with pidgin [18:41] Shanks: msttcorefonts has never given me problems, and truecrypt I know nothing about [18:41] driver "nvidia" mb [18:41] WooD, windows can read/write ext2/3 now.. and linux can read/writwe ntfs with ntfs-3g - So it depends on which OS you will be using the most.. and what data is to be on the drive. [18:41] panfist: Was it a tv? [18:41] i have a friend that has a computer 166 mhz creative and would like to use it for internet only any suggestion of an ubuntu version? [18:42] aszwet1: So just delete all partitions on /dev/sde then make a new one which is of type linux (83 hex code) [18:42] hairulfr that is correct [18:42] nickrud, ok. some user told me that I could simply put the .ttf files into ~/.fonts Would that work out as well? [18:42] Hi, I am trying to build the python2.5 package via "debian/rules binary" inside the source, but its running all of the regression tests, and that takes _ages_ [18:42] dimas_, a Pent 1 - 166 mhz? MACHINE [18:42] any way to disable the regression tests? [18:42] Dr_willis: what do you use to read/write to ext3p partitions in windows? [18:42] Shanks: yes it would [18:42] some of them "normally" fail and it doesn't do anything about it anyhow [18:42] Ive been using linuxreader for a while and its not that good [18:42] !ext2 [18:42] Sorry, I don't know anything about ext2 - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [18:42] nickrud, cool, i'll try that out [18:42] dr_willis yes a creative 166 mhz [18:42] Dr_willis : thanks [18:42] !ext3 [18:42] ext3 is the default filesystem on Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org [18:42] thanks [18:43] work calls, afk [18:43] what's the name of package that allows me to use select copy and right-click mouse to paste ? [18:43] nickrud, i think reiserfs is better than ext3 =/ [18:43] dimas_, creative dosent make processors... :) if its a Pent 1 cpu. YOu might want to go uber light - and use DSL, or Puppy Linux, not Uubnutu. Xubuntu can proberly work.. but it will take some time to install. [18:43] hey [18:43] hai hai fellow linux users. on my fifth computer to install linux. seein' some interesting and good changes in gibbon [18:44] with a eyecandy xfce desktop [18:44] mm [18:44] havin' a lil' difficutlies tho with this computer it has an ati [Radeon Xpress 1100 IGP and followed guides to get compiz-beryl [18:44] does anyone here know how to get the isight camera working on a macbook without a mac os partition? [18:44] to work [18:45] nickrud > what do You think of idea adding that command to startup of that user's session? [18:45] Dr_willis poppi linux...? [18:45] but now no direct rendering :( which i had before.... prb cause i use xgl somethin in order for it to work and dropped the fgwcutter one [18:45] avin trouble installin nomachine can anybody help plz? [18:45] Carlosh: it would be a hack, but should work. I haven't really looked at how the default window manager system works recently, I just know it's not the way I learned a while back [18:46] panfist: Hmm.. Try sudo nvidia-settings [18:46] Dr_willis wichone you talking about? puppi linux? === linxeh_ is now known as linxeh [18:47] can someone tell me the easiest way to find out what a deb is compile with? [18:47] ndan: if you use xserver-xgl to get compiz to work, then you lose direct rendering for games. Just the way it is ... [18:47] panfist: Or just nvidia-settings [18:47] apt-get source? [18:47] dimas_, PUPPY as in a little dog. :) [18:47] hairulfr i dont think that worked. i got the ability to change like 5 irrelevant options and i got some error messages in the terminal like "unable to detect number of nvidia GPUs" [18:47] nickrud nah, I wouldn't like to do that kind of [18:47] 'hack' [18:47] densone, i am not sure, but rifle through the dpkg man pages and you may find some info? [18:47] do you have nvidia driver installed [18:48] lol nickrud in all my experiences with linux if there is a way to get it to work one way and another there is a way to get both to worm [18:48] hairulfr i guess when i reconfigured xorg it disabled the restricted driver [18:48] Carlosh: hack is not a perjorative , it's a way of saying workaround [18:48] How do I disable startup sound in ubuntu?? [18:48] brb [18:48] ndan: not in this case. xserver-xgl just doesn't support it [18:48] Anyone know anything about not being able to save Network Locations with nm-applet? [18:48] mute [18:48] xerxes1358 : System -> Preferences -> Sound [18:48] xerxes1358, system - peferences - sound [18:48] nickrud > I understood that, but you know, I love everything working as it should. I don't like doing 'dirty' workarounds.. Some kind of light perfectionism. :D [18:49] i see so i have to go back to the other drivers and rework them to work with compiz inorder to hopefully attain both since xgl doesn't support direct rendering? [18:49] hi I wanted to do a dist-upgrade from an iso . Can someone tell me how [18:49] Carlosh: point to you ;) [18:49] or just switch between the two if i wanna play games [18:49] hairrulfr: hey what does nvidia-settings do if he can't get that resolution though? [18:49] is CUPS nessecary for nomchine to function correctly does anyone no? [18:49] panfist: As far as I can tell you need to set the widescreen options from that, it seems a very common issue with the widescreens, [18:49] ndan: you can try using the latest ati driver, and use http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide to install it. You won't need xserver-xgl then [18:49] panfist: Well, it should read xorg and list the proper res [18:50] he's not here [18:50] bailey321, come again? [18:50] mmkay roger that nickrud thanks i'll try that [18:50] ndan: then there's the issue of getting gl games to work while compiz is running ... [18:50] * genii returns sipping a coffee [18:50] does anyone here know how to get the isight camera working on a macbook without a mac os partition? [18:50] bulmer: im using this guide http://happybeggar.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=33&Itemid=2 [18:50] aszwet1: All going well so far then? [18:50] i liked my old laptop with nvidia driver SOOOO much better [18:50] LOL [18:50] I have a Linux at home and have also a Windows Vista. I have a external HDD and want to transfert file from Linux to Windows.. I will plug my Ext HDD to windows Vista and transfert some files. Is the Ext3 is the best file format to do this ? [18:50] bailey321, and what does that guide basically say? [18:51] LOL /q [18:51] ndan: got the exact same chip you do, and I ditto your comment [18:51] WooD: no [18:51] punkshui: hehe, haven't resolved that yet I see :) Seems there isn't any resolve unless you boot os x first, or you have a partition [18:51] Does anyone know if there's a way to access a proxy through another proxy? [18:51] trurl: what is the best one ? [18:51] WooD: If the files are under the size of 4Gb then vfat is best [18:51] WooD: no, ntfs would be better [18:51] bulmer : i hear ya but its not complete in statin wether u NEED it or not [18:51] hi i wanted to do a dist-upgrade from a iso . Is it possible ? [18:51] hairulfr i was hoping someone who had a macbook could just send me the file [18:51] WooD: use FAT32 or NTFS [18:51] WooD: Vista cant access ext3 [18:51] ya i use to have an nvidia go 6800 ultra on my dell xps but it got fried from overheating and its like 300 bucks for a new one :-\ [18:52] punkshui: I will, what file do you need? [18:52] sharadg: if you get the alternate cd, yes [18:52] my xps ran linux flawlessly tho [18:52] WooD: sincd vfat (fat32) needs no special things on either side, if your files are all under the size of 4Gb it's best to use that [18:52] Webspot: i dont see why not but youll need to make sure the first is acting as proxy for right ports on second [18:52] hairulfr one sec [18:52] trurl: wow .. thanks .. So today the user friendly file system is NTFS [18:52] bailey321, CUPS is for printing, not necessarily required to get nx to work [18:52] nickrud > I'll try a system restart. Will come back, You won't get rid of me ;) [18:52] genii, not really [18:52] genii, i can't really figure out parted [18:52] bulmer: ty i shall ry again [18:52] try* [18:52] nickrud, oh.. i was trying for long with the normal desktop cd [18:53] aszwet1: OK, exit parted then. I will give you easy instruction for fdisk instead [18:53] WooD: if u use NTFS im not sure... maybe ubuntu will mount it read only [18:53] Carlosh: but you will lose me in a few minutes. I see other people around who know more than I do, you might want to repost your problem. === nuu is now known as nu[year] === nu[year] is now known as nuu [18:53] okey dokey [18:53] give me a minute [18:53] Is there any Software that makes NTFS R/W into Ubuntu and Kubuntu ? [18:53] hairulfr i need the firmware from this folder (?) : System/Library/Extensions/IOUSBFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleUSBVideoSupport.kext/Contents/MacOS/AppleUSBVideoSupport [18:53] WooD, ntfs-3g makes that possible [18:53] aszwet1: sudo fdisk /dev/sde then choose d to delete existing partitions. n to make a new partition. then w to exit. [18:53] Dr_willis: thanks [18:53] pike_: At school I must use this first proxy to access the internet. This has port restrictions. Is there a way to connect to my home proxy server through the school one? [18:54] * Bushido89 Waves to everyone 'Hi' [18:54] Dr_willis: is this a freeware ? [18:54] WooD: you CAN mount it rw, but no one knows what ntfs do for real ;) [18:54] WooD: If you have files over 4Gb then use ext3 and get the windows ext driver [18:54] Webspot, if they found out you are circumventing policies, what will they do to you? [18:54] Webspot: maybe if it doesnt support it id look at running ssh server on your home box on a port you can get to and doing tunneling or something [18:54] nickrud, man, aMSN isn't opening my new installed fonts, like Arial [18:55] Webspot: its not worth a caning or anyting [18:55] extended or primary partition (1-4)? [18:55] genii: ok [18:55] Shanks: try opening system->prefs->fonts, make sure you can see the new fonts. Then restart amsn [18:55] Yeah. I'll try an SSH tunnel instead... [18:55] WooD, genii: yeah, or use Total Commander and a plugin [18:55] nickrud, oh no, wait... It just did [18:55] lols [18:55] thanks a bunch [18:55] aszwet1: For delete or new one? If new then primary and 1 [18:55] A file bigger than 4GB into a NTFS File format is not compatible ? [18:55] it is [18:55] ok [18:56] whats the leanest movie player supported in ubuntu [18:56] WooD: ntfs: yes, fat32: no [18:56] fat16 will have a hard time reading it [18:56] can I move where apache server's root directory (/var/www) onto my separate /home partition (/home/www)? [18:56] punkshui: Those are two diffrent files [18:56] nice [18:56] fat32 doesn't give you a hard drive label [18:56] panfist, mplayer [18:56] Panfist, Mplayer ftw. [18:56] WooD: It is, but writing to ntfs from linux is more problemmatic than reading from ext3 from windows [18:56] bulmer: I expect they wouldn't mind me bypassing, as I'd be using my personal laptop anyway :) [18:56] ok i tried installin nomachine but i got an error on the last bit - is it ok to post the error here so maybe someone can help? [18:56] xiambax bushido89 thanks [18:56] vee: yes [18:56] Dr_willis: does NTFS-3g will auto start on boot ? [18:56] hairulfr ah, my bad. [18:56] vee: yes, you would edit /etc/apache/sites-available/default to point to your preferred root [18:56] genii: i thought it was the other way around [18:56] aszwet1: To see any time what partitions, use p [18:57] Kynlem and nickrud [18:57] Webspot, be ready to find another good school just in case :) [18:57] Ill try that [18:57] vee: that's where my root lives, by the way [18:57] punkshui: Be more specific, which files do you need? Two kext files? [18:57] nickrud thqanx. how ya been? [18:57] genii: ok you had problem with NTFS format reading into Linux sometime ? [18:57] Widows does not seem to recognize ext3 for me :/ [18:57] nickrud happy new year [18:57] Sorry to ask...but does anyone here know anything about getting 3g cards to work on linux? I've run into a spot of trouble. [18:57] Mikelevel: Since ext is an open standard the drivers for it from windows are mor reliable than reverse engineered drivers for ntfs from linux [18:57] Mikelevel: Did you install the plugins? [18:57] WooD: Yes [18:57] ok genii, i did that and now i'm going to mount the disk back to the folder so would that be sudo mount/dev/sde /media/usb_disk? [18:57] *mikenex, sorry Did you install the plugins? [18:57] vee: cool, and a happy full year to you :) [18:58] aszwet1: No, you need to format yet [18:58] hairulfr: this one: /System/Library/Extensions/IOUSBFamily.kext [18:58] bulmer let me pm u the error i got plz sir [18:58] I'm having trouble with my video driver, it changed my resolution to 640x480, and i can't figure out how to get it back [18:58] Bushido89, what is a 3g card? [18:58] and.... [18:58] punkshui: Where do i send it? [18:58] oh ok [18:58] aszwet1: You can't mount a drive that is not formatted, etc === hlh_afk is now known as imhlh [18:58] nickrud =) ... im gonna try to login as root and make that change [18:58] Bulmer, a card I bought from an ISP to allow WIFI access from anywhere (within reason) [18:58] bailey321, im not registered, it wont work i think [18:58] aszwet1: So: sudo mkfs.ext3 /dev/sde1 [18:58] hairulfr: and this one: /Contents/PlugIns/AppleUSBVideoSupport.kext [18:58] vee: there's two places to change it in that file by the way [18:58] aszwet1: Then after that you can mount it [18:58] hairulfr: DCC? [18:58] ok [18:59] genii: so Maybe I better try to work with ext3 ... I'll check what is the soft I need to be able to read ext3 R/W on windows [18:59] why sde1 and not sde? [18:59] punkshui: Just gotta bluetooth it to this bucket [18:59] hairulfr: and this: /Conte nts/MacOS/AppleUSBVideoSupport [18:59] Sorry if I got the wrong name for it, Bulmer, I'm very new to both linux and WIFI. [18:59] hairulfr: No, i was trying to install it the other day clean onto my hard drive and it could not recognize the format of the hard drive I was running ubuntu off of [18:59] Bushido89, can you describe a lil bit more of what this 3g is about? model, chips it uses? [18:59] * nickrud is amazed that bulmer isn't registered, as much time as he spends here [18:59] aszwet1: Because sde is entire drive partiton, sde1 is the first partiton of sde [18:59] what channel do i go to for help with ccsm? [18:59] nat: #compiz-fusion [18:59] thx [19:00] Bushido89: I wrote a blog entry on how to get a vodafone 3G card to work: http://tinyurl.com/yr5nhq [19:00] what channel do i go to for help with video driver issues? [19:00] Yes Bulmer, I'll go & look it up, one moment. [19:00] Thank you, Webspot, I'll give it a read ^_^ [19:00] WooD: http://www.ghisler.com/plugins.htm#filesys , but thats shareware [19:00] Bushido89, there someone beat us to it.. [19:00] ahhh ok genii, so should i only mount the sde1 then? [19:00] aszwet1: Yes [19:01] WooD: the windows ext driver is at http://www.fs-driver.org/ [19:01] Bulmer, this is the decide I'm talking about: http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/shop/mobile-phones/internet/laptop/webnwalk-internet/24mth-webnwalk-plus/t-mobile/usb-modem/spec/ [19:01] genii: wow thanks .. [19:01] Can anyone help me with a video driver issue, or direct me to a channel where i can get help? [19:01] WooD: np [19:01] Ordika: here. I have to go, but if you put a copy of /var/log/Xorg.0.log , a copy of /etc/X11/xorg.conf , put the links in your question, and tell people what exact video card you have, you will get help much quicker [19:01] what video driver [19:01] genii: does the ext3 is faster than ext3 .. did you see a diff. ? [19:01] hairulfr: basically i'm trying to do this how to (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=225621) using the firmware you'll send me from my linux partition instead of a mac os one. [19:01] nickrud > found something. At the other user under System > Preferences > Sessions > Current Session there is no metacity at all. And at my main user it is there.. So question is how I add metacity command to that user's session and how should it look? [19:01] Ordika: put those files on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org that is [19:02] ty nick [19:02] WooD: Do you mean is ext3 faster than ntfs? [19:02] genii: sorry yes [19:02] Carlosh: when you do metacity --replace, it should show in the sessions, with a restart status [19:02] genii: does installing this allow windows to read from the linux hard drive when I install windows? [19:02] WooD: Generally yes. [19:02] Webspot, Yes....reading it, the issue seems to be that I need to get the card running to access the internet, and thus cannot apt-get at present :( [19:02] punkshui: Yeah, just a sec, bluetooth won't work, so mailing it [19:02] Bushido89, I am not UK based, but what the heck, ppp is zone neutral i think :) what about the tutorial written by Webspot? [19:02] Carlosh: gotta go, good luck [19:02] genii: Thanks I'll try that [19:03] miknex: You an put it on a floppy and then insert it by the F6--insert floppy driver disk...so yes [19:03] bailey321, which part do you get stuck on the install? [19:03] oooo [19:03] the last part bulmer i get these errors....... [19:03] bulmer: 3G is a high speed data network from mobile providers. You need to get the right settings depending on your carrier [19:03] Bulmer, The tutorial looks good, however it requires internet connectivity :( (Am in a university computer lab at the moment) Amazing English by the way, I never would have guessed :) [19:04] thx dude [19:04] sup all [19:04] miknex: np [19:04] xcuse the spam ;( [19:04] Setting up nxserver (2.1.0-9) ...

You might be able to download the package manually from http://packages.ubuntu.com [19:04] darn, this fstab and external hdd are driving me crazy! anyone knows a good tutorial for managing external hdd properly? [19:04] miknex: Conceivably it should be possible to install windows onto ext fs, but I haven't tried it [19:05] ok is there an iTunes like program for Ubuntu [19:05] Thank you Webspot, I'll need to note the urls & come back with a memory stick later...will your tutorial work for all cards...or will I need to find a text specific to my own? [19:05] bailey321, it seems it does not like an existing user, so maybe modify the install script to remove that portion of adding a user? [19:05] Gyrodog try amarok [19:05] !rhythmbox | Gyrodog [19:05] Gyrodog: i sugges Amarok, its the best ive found [19:05] Gyrodog: Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based).

[19:05] Bushido89: I'm not quite sure. Have you tried googling for your model of 3G card and ubuntu? [19:06] Gyrodog Songbird looks a little graphics intensive to me.. [19:06] Yes, Songbird is available, Gyrodog. [19:06] Gyrodog: ok, songbird is actually 'like' iTunes, never used it but it looks good :) [19:06] Bushido89: You should be able to see from dmesg (in the terminal) if it has been detected, however. [19:06] or try amarok? [19:06] Yes, Webspot, I have...but every guide I read confused the hell out of me. Having to walk about a kilometer everytime you miss something, or get something wrong, is vexing, to say the least. [19:07] ok I got my ati drivers installed and my graphics installed but no graphics is workin can someone help me [19:07] Bushido89, umm thats like which comes 1st ? chicken or the egg... i dont think you need the internet access to use that card, maybe you have to subscribe to a data service 1st then install that card to use it [19:07] Bushido89: Ah. Yeah. Sounds like fun! [19:07] Bulmer, Yes...it is a problem...so is the lack of USB-memory stick... [19:08] i love ubuntu!! :), just wanted to ask though, has anyone got any suggestions for playing m4p files? [19:08] Webspot: You have no idea...*sigh*...*ponders*...could I run it through WINE? [19:08] Taam: mp4*? [19:08] Bushido89, the basic is you have a serial connectivity to the ISP (data provider) and you establish a ppp connectivity [19:08] anyone got an idea how to get some sound [19:08] no, m4p - itunes protected [19:08] bulmer? [19:08] Bushido89, the card is like a modem, one side it interfaces to the ISP and the other side of it is your pc [19:09] Taam: try mplayer, it has never failed me [19:09] Tetracomm, yes? am here [19:09] my backwards/forwards buttons on my mouse don't do backwards/forwards within firefox. How do I configure them to do so? [19:09] I see, Bulmer, So...the trouble is the interface on my side? [19:09] !mplayer | Taam [19:09] Taam: mplayer is a media player. It resides in the mutiverse repository and can easily be installed via applications -> add/remove. For codecs try !codecs [19:09] Ok. [19:09] Bushido89: I don't think running it through WINE would work. You should be able to see from dmesg whether it has been detechected or not [19:09] What do I change in my bootloader? [19:09] I'm having problems with my video driver, it worked fine when i first installed ubuntu, but it reccomended that i change drivers, so i did, and now i'm stuck at 640x480. I'm using a Norwood Micro Radeon x1300 AGP graphics card, and i've posted some logs at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51116/. Anyone able to help me out? [19:09] Bushido89, am not sure if its a problem, but basically you set up ppp to establish the connectivity [19:09] it actually connects now bulmer but the session startup fails [19:09] i have mplayer, but it won't play purchased itunes files [19:10] punkshui: No way i can get that file to you, my mail won't work, bluetooth won't either, unless someone tells me how to install file transfer services on this box [19:10] hang tight..i have 3 people to work with..lets see who is first? hehehe [19:10] Webspot: Well...I tried...but no luck :( [19:10] The Composite extension is not available thats the box that pops up wut can I do to fix the problem on my effects [19:10] Bulmer, How do I go about doing that? [19:10] Taam: there isn't a way to play DRM protected files from iTunes [19:10] Tetracomm, what was the issue again? menu.lst entry for windows? [19:10] hairulfr no worries.. thanks a lot. [19:10] Taam: this is why you dont purchase protected formats in the first place [19:10] Windows wouldn't boot after I installed Ubuntu. [19:10] haha, good shout [19:10] hairulfr i just wanted to send my parents a picture of me ... they haven't seen me in a while. [19:10] ! [19:11] Taam: you might have to try installing wine and installing iTunes from there [19:11] Bushido89, I think per Webspot blog, you use a tool (kppp is one) to establish the configs of ppp [19:11] that is a very good idea, i will have a go [19:11] hey...anyone have an idea on how to keep an external drive from going into "sleep mode"?? I guess that's what it's doing, but it unmounts itself...for all tenses and purposes shuts off after a period of inactivity...and it's a pain because when amarok loads for something totally unrelated, it thinks i have no music, so i have to rescan when i turn the drive on [19:11] :) [19:11] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51105/plain/ [19:11] will et back to you [19:11] bulmer: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51105/plain/ [19:11] my backwards/forwards buttons on my mouse don't do backwards/forwards within firefox. How do I configure them to do so? [19:11] Tetracomm, its in the menu when you boot right? did you select it? [19:11] cool [19:11] punkshui: Uhm, well, yeah, well, ill send it, but nothing bloodt works here [19:11] get* [19:11] Yes, I selected it in the GRUB menu and it said: Invalid device request". [19:11] talon223: is it a seagate? [19:11] bailey321, what was the issue on yours again? [19:12] Okay, I will read into it Bulmer (And hopefully give you a bit of a break :) ) [19:12] nope, it's a simpletech... [19:12] neeto: don't ask more than once [19:12] Gyrodog: add into xorg.conf 3 lines 1: Section "Extensions" 2: Option "Composite" "Enable" 3: EndSection [19:12] DRebellion: sorry, i thought it got lost in the fray [19:12] well bulmer i have new issue from the client side, it actually connects, i posted in the ubunut forums the error is there if u wanna look [19:12] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=660950 [19:12] Tetracomm, make sure its the correct partition it is referring to in (hd0,5) something [19:13] how do I do that I am very new at this can u walk me though with the command and all [19:13] so what is actually wrong with the flash install?

[19:13] I have Windows installed on sda5. [19:13] MrMinister: Please don't, this is a support channel. [19:13] Tetracomm, i looked at it, again make sure your windows mbr is on that partition [19:14] Tetracomm: BLASPHEMY!

This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix. [19:15] bailey321, can you open up the install script of nx and then modify the add user part? or you have taken care of that already? [19:15] But that doesn't tell me what is wrong with it [19:15] bulmer: I see Documents and Settings, Program Files, System Volume information, windows, autoexec.bat, boot.ini, config.sys, hiberfil.sys, io.sys, msdos.sys, ntdetect.com, ntldr, and pagefile.sys on the Windows partition. [19:15] !build | lucasmmg [19:15] I just want to know *why* it's broken [19:15] lucasmmg: Compiling software from source?

[19:16] ok I do have a question is there a way I can download KDE with this [19:16] hey I checked your xorg files and you only haev one moeline [19:16] Gyrodog: To make that change take effect, log out of ubuntu, then at the login screen do ctrl-backspace then it should load up the login screen again. login as usual then and try the composite stuff [19:16] modeline* [19:16] genii, thank you so much!

[19:17] so through putty bulmer i type .... file install.file.sh [19:18] So I should set it to (hd0,4) then? [19:18] Tetracomm, i thought i requested you to read some tutorials on dual booting? you seemed to have not done that yet [19:18] miknex: how would i go about doing that? I considered re-installing ubuntu, but i'm dual booting with XP, and son't know if it would install ubuntu over my current install, or make a second ubuntu. (not sure if thats possible, but i'm running out of space on my drive) [19:18] hairulfr: you could upload the files to this website: www.bigupload.com and then send me the dl link.

Then sudo apt-get update then you should see it as something to install in package manager or from apt-cache search [19:19] question re. grub anybody?

[19:21] miknex: are u referring to the ATI driver from the restricted list, or the VESA compliant generic driver the thing insists on using?

I can't seem to get the Flash Plug-in to work for Firefox with Ubuntu 7.10 Workstation... [19:34] opus-_: Because the clipboard works differently in X than it does in windows. When you select something, it gets stuck on the clipboard. [19:34] And it works fine in metacity. [19:34] opus-_: there are two 'clipboards' its a linux thing. sometimes one thing goes in one and you try to paste in an app that uses the other.. [19:34] sankoya: I think ubuntu needs about 300MB ram for the OS, xubuntu only needs about 64MB iirc [19:34] i cant get flash plugin worked in firefox, any ideas? (7.10) reasons ?

IIRC. [20:24] i think i see it in dmesg [20:24] ok yea i see it [20:24] sudo apt-get install emerald [20:24] unagi: what is it assigned to?? [20:24] where does it tell me that [20:24] unagi: /dev/sd** [20:24] in dmesg === reconnect is now known as recon [20:25] sdb it hink [20:25] sdb1 [20:25] _maney: so office.mycompany.com cant run SLL while having www.mycompany.com on normal http? [20:25] unagi: read the manpage for mount and that will explain most if it. [20:25] unagi man mount [20:25] <_maney> robdeman: oh, no, that would be okay. you said virtual SSL, so i assumed you menat more than one [20:26] oh wow [20:26] ok i got it thanks how do i get ubuntu to automount when i plug it in [20:26] can someone help me install kibadock [20:26] _Maney: ah now. how would I change the config to make it ssl enabled? [20:26] _Maney: dont need normal http [20:26] wait why doesnt it show up in COmputer brobostigon [20:26] unagi: en ter it into fstab, man fstab [20:27] unagi: if its in fstab, it should show there [20:27] what is the difference between removing and completely removing a package [20:27] its already there.....but the drive doesnt show up on the desktop or in computer so i can only access it in the terminal; [20:28] <_maney> robdeman: well, the SSL server is a whole separate server setup. lemme refresh my memory... [20:28] johnson completely removing removes dependat packages [20:28] dependant* [20:28] thanks [20:28] unagi: whats its mountpoint, go to it in nautilus. [20:28] unagi/ maybe /media/** [20:28] is there any tool to configure grub? except gedit :o) [20:29] i have it as /media/External [20:29] unagi: go to that folder with nUTILUS === kin_ is now known as Kin === Kin is now known as KinPumpkinKing [20:29] unagi: nautilus [20:29] how can i make it show up in computer or on the desktop i need it to [20:29] its there in nautilus [20:29] but i have to browse to it [20:29] !icons [20:29] Want to see volume/trash icons on the desktop?

[20:30] unagi: stefg answwered it , i didnt know the answer to that question [20:30] would having multiple codec's installed cause issues in movie player or mplayer with playback? cant get either to play [20:31] volumes visible is checked..... [20:31] i have to manually make a launcher? will it automatically pop up from now on? [20:31] unagi: i cant help from haer, sorry [20:31] bye ttyl [20:32] salam [20:32] ok creating a launcher helps but there is no unmount option [20:32] unagi: the convention with ubuntus flavor of gnome is: drives in /media get desktop icons, other locations don't. so if you have it in , say, /mnt it will not show on desktop [20:32] _Maney: refreshed? :) [20:32] i have it mounted as /media/External [20:33] kasi inja hast? [20:33] <_moro_bana_> dd if = of = is there any wrongs on this [20:33] <_maney> robdeman: yeah, just found the old setup I was looking for. this wasn't production, but it was used a fiar bit for some testing. [20:33] unagi: you have a corresponding /etc/fstab entry and 'user' in the options column ? [20:34] <_maney> robdeman: anyway, the whole https site is in its own section [20:34] I just enabled "rotate cube" how do I make it rotate? :) [20:34] Hello everybody! Is there a way I can see what ports are being used, and which processes are using them? [20:34] _maney: well my current office.company.com is a virtual host.. I could just adjust it to be HTTPS / SSL right? I dont need non-SSL anyway [20:34] <_maney> robdeman: you'll probably want a separate document root, logs, etc. [20:34] _maney: It already all has that [20:34] fstab lists /dev/sdb1 /media/External ntfs-3g defaults,force 0 0 stefg [20:35] So as I understand it, a process can bind to a port, and then nothing else can access that port? Or am I mistaken? [20:35] _maney: Its a seperate virtual host [20:35] <_moro_bana_> dd if = of = [20:35] _maney: just need to change it from normal http to https [20:35] <_maney> robdeman: yeah, that should work. the other stuff https needs is half a dozen or so SSL* config items [20:35] unagi: hmmm.... ntfs needs special options [20:35] _maney: any guides / examples? [20:35] its always popped up on its own before [20:36] <_maney> robdeman: oh, and enabling the ssl module, getting the certificate.key... [20:36] how do u unmount in the terminal [20:36] <_maney> robdeman: I seem to recall some useful stuff at apache.com - it's been a while since I was mucking with it [20:36] unagi: use the command umount [20:36] and no that is not a typo [20:37] <_moro_bana_> DRebellion:dd if = of = [20:37] anyone want to answer a network question on a new ubuntu install?

[22:25] maybe [22:25] Xman, that has nothing to do with your problem, nor what I explained [22:26] because it works every now and then [22:26] Shanks: apt-get (ubuntu package) [22:26] Shanks: Quite a while ago on the laptop [22:26] I'm using Kubuntu 7.10, can anyone help on how to connect to WLAN (with WPA-PSK) at boot time instead of after I log in to KDE and KNetworkManager connects me? [22:26] unagi_, usb ? [22:26] gunja I tried searching for it [22:26] pike_ : I have to internet connections at home. A wired one and a wireless one. And i want to be able to use the bouth.

[22:27] does somebody know how to rejoin split files ? with *.00x extension [22:27] gunja, nope, no packages [22:27] Shanks: No I can't find it either now [22:27] Shanks: Maybe it was another repo I added. Unfortunately the lappy it's on is at work :) [22:27] sisif: well yoiu can but it will only have one enabled at once. i think primarily you want to address youre problem connecting using the wifi cards [22:27] neverblue: i have two ethernet devices,one is on-board and currently i m using the lan card [22:27] doudoo: Are these rar files? [22:27] Listening to my 5.1 speakers I realize that not all 5.1 speakers play, a fix please? [22:27] Shanks: can u not use the download from their site?

[22:28] i have a problem with soundcard.... [22:28] doudoo: cat file1 file2 file3 > filesum [22:28] carl: follow the instructions in the wiki, and then edit your xorg.conf file to use the ati driver [22:28] gunja, lols, ubuntu wasn't supposed to be like this [22:29] how do I edit the xorg file [22:29] pike_ : that`s ok. for example, when i disconnect the wired connection, the wireless to be enabled automaticaly. [22:29] doudoo: Then thann0y's method should work fine [22:29] Shanks: Well the struggles I've have with vid, sound, ir, well I dunno....

[22:31] proq: I was joining the channel and hit space on accident [22:31] AW GOD [22:31] Xman, then you need to go through the Network wizard: system-->admin--> network [22:31] gkuso gedit xorg.conf [22:31] oh dear [22:31] gunja, CANT BELIVE THIS [22:31] ok I'm in the xorg now wut do I do [22:31] carl: do you have an xorg.conf file? [22:31] !caps | Shanks (and actually get to the point really soon please) [22:31] Shanks (and actually get to the point really soon please): PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [22:31] Shanks: Wot? [22:31] neverblue: yes i went there and filled all the information there but it didn't worked. [22:32] gunja, now i'll prolly have to reinstall my system again [22:32] Shanks: Oh dear, whats happenned [22:32] well 1 I don't know how to install my Card I don't understand wut the pages tell me I just want to know if u will give me the codes to install my ati x300 series [22:32] gunja, just a sec [22:32] Xman, did you try both ports (the onboard and the PCI Ethernet card) ? [22:32] anyone got deskbar applet crash with tracker plugin enabled ? [22:32] hey all.. trying to share my network scanner.. I did add required lines to /etc/inetd.conf but still the sane deamon doesnt seem to run.. any help? [22:32] carl: follow the instructions here, they're too many to type out here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI [22:32] gunja, done, saved my system [22:32] !enter | Shanks [22:32] Shanks: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [22:33] carl: Make sure you use X11 not x11 [22:33] Shanks: What happenned? [22:33] gunja, at least till I reboot... The problem last time was with initramfs-tools [22:33] Shanks: Oh no [22:34] neverblue: yes and on one port it just showing its icon as connected but when i tryed to saw it details then all the details were zero like(0.0.0.0) [22:34] gunja, yeah, I just thought the same thing :D [22:34] Xman, reinstall Ubuntu, go through the wizard, and it will be working [22:34] got some strange behavior when upgrading my graphics card (from nvidia 6600 to nvidia 8800) [22:35] neverblue: ok [22:35] in /proc/cpuinfo what does bogomips mean is it a speed indication ? [22:35] can only boot into recovery mode and only then can i get x to start [22:35] my problem for tonight is this: i installed a digital usb receiver....with kaffeine all work...with xawtv only video how can i solv my problem ald listen audio also with xawtv [22:35] th0r: th0r? is that you? [22:35] neverblue: thank you for your kind information, sir. [22:35] ? [22:35] th0r, is that you man? [22:35] Xman, are you dual booting ? [22:36] neverblue: yes [22:36] Xman, might want to try doing a virtual machine, that way you can run linux on top of Windows [22:36] neverblue: eww [22:36] so umm what wifi connectors work best with ubuntu? [22:36] neverblue: yes i did that too but it made my system very heavy. [22:37] Xman, without any output from errors/issues your having in Ubuntu, that makes it difficult to asst with this sort of problem, as your not able to go online [22:37] since 2wire is a clear no go [22:37] ok I did sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-generic restricted-manager [22:37] nrdb, it used to be a good measure but now chips come in so many sizes and configs it is pointless [22:37] wut do I do next I can't get no further [22:37] hey guys, trying to get suspend to work I need to make a script in /etc/acpi/suspend.d - I did it but it doesn't seem to run I set the chmod as +x anything else I need to do? [22:38] neverblue: actually i m having only 384 mb RAM [22:38] Xman, ah, time to get a new computer ;) [22:38] cant seem to boot into normal mode, only can get recovery to boot and start x in? just upgraded my graphics card and this started happening! (geforce 8800) [22:38] neverblue: that's why i diddn't installed vmware again [22:38] gunja, is truecrypt supposed to appear at the main menu? [22:38] Do any of you guys use scp? I would like to know if it is possible to create an scp re-direct. I want to get sftp or scp or ssh to redirect through a middle machine. [22:38] ex. Home PC -> 1st sshd auth server -> 2nd sshd server [22:38] Configured properly, I want to be able to copy a file from 2nd sshd server to my Home PC with one command [22:39] neverblue: yeah soon i will get it [22:39] neverblue: anyways thanks for your info [22:39] Xman, then just use that computer with linux on it, setup a nice LAMP install [22:39] !lamp [22:39] LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [22:39] use Windows on the other, then you can have fun :) [22:39] ok I did sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-generic restricted-manager [22:39] ok I did sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-generic restricted-manager [22:39] in /proc/cpuinfo what does bogomips mean is it a speed indication ? [22:39] what next [22:39] neverblue: yeah definitly [22:40] good luck :) [22:40] neverblue: ok now i m rebooting..... [22:40] komputes, you can send commands to box2 via ssh, so one wayya could do it would be a batch file that scp's the file to #2. then sends a ssh command to have #2 scp it to #3 [22:40] and thnx again [22:40] komputes, theres proberly other ways to do it also. :) [22:40] nrdb: it means bogus millions of instructions per second, emphasis on bogus. It's based on clock speed [22:40] why has opera suddenly stopped picking up on java? Anyone know how to check the install and maybe let opera use it again? [22:40] is the Catalyst 7.12 driver compatible with Fiesty? [22:40] I have a latency problem on a new Fiesty Apache web server. 3GB Ram with 9GB swap file. Could the large swap file cause a lag? [22:41] Feisty* [22:41] Ubuntu 7.10: I can use python for cgi script but not bash - how can I fix this ? [22:41] komputes, or use the fuse ssh filesystem tool and scp to a mounted sshfs on box2... whichis really on box3.. egads.. im getting dizzy thinking about that. [22:41] anybody? 7.12 + Feisty? [22:41] Dr_willis: would you be able to pint me to an example/tutorial to make said batch script [22:41] point* [22:41] has anyone succesfully gotten a 2wire wireless adpter to work on linux? [22:41] dbrewer_rjr, 9 GB swap don't really make sense [22:41] komputes, nope. :) i just came up with it as a way to do it. [22:41] gunja, is truecrypt supposed to appear at the main menu? [22:42] komputes, 'the solution is left to the student' :P [22:42] Dr_willis: ever done it? [22:42] komputes, not to that extent.. why cant you just scp to machine 3 directly? [22:42] hp_tux, should swap match memory (3GB) [22:42] everyone : what wireless adapter are u using to connect through linux.. links are appreciated [22:43] Dr_willis: I know, I want to learn how to do this, the separation is a security mechanism - machine 3 is not public, no. [22:43] komputes, ive read a lot of ssh tips/guides/tutorals articals that have all sorts of neat things you can do woth ssh. [22:43] I try to install Gentoo and both the gui install and the command line one failed . How would I check if maybe I burned the cd wrong. I have it on the dvdrom drive right now. [22:43] help please: is it possible to request a specific ip address through the dchp server of your local router? [22:43] well, a sever shouldn't swap under normal circumstances [22:43] *server [22:43] not a specifc one but u can change it on windows i'm sure of that [22:43] tarelerulz: you should ask how to verify a gentoo disk on #gentoo, they'd know [22:43] komputes: other workaround : tunel. Ex : ssh -L 8888:lastmachine:22 login@middle-machine and then you can connect to localhost:8888 to get thirdmachine ssh [22:43] Dr_willis: I would appreciate a tutorial or a manual on how to make said batch script relay/bounce [22:44] komputes, the fact you can use ssh to send a command to box2. means that once ya get the stuff to box2 you can get it to box3 :) just have to use that feature of ssh. I dont even have any ssh links handy. [22:44] thann0y: PERFECT!!! [22:44] hp_tux, thanks. we'll reduce it to 1 GB to match our old box [22:45] dbrewer_rjr, go and start a monitor (such as "top") and look, how much RAM is needed [22:45] Dr_willis: right, but I want it to copy through it, not a two step process, just data going through machine #2 [22:45] how do you check on linux what devices are connected? [22:45] Nickrud , is there a general way to get a ck5sum from a cd in the dvdrom drive. You can do ck5 sum on a iso with kcb. I am just asking [22:45] gunja, my truecrypt just won't work =/ [22:46] hp_tux, Mem: 3116256k total, 2992496k used, 123760k free, 150404k buffers [22:46] tarelerulz: you can do md5sum /dev/ , I've done that with cdroms [22:46] gunja, I mean, I never tried truecrypt on linux, does it work the same way it does on Windows? [22:46] like a device manager equvilency? [22:46] twavisdegwet: lsusb, lspci and others [22:46] is that included with ubuntu? [22:46] lshw [22:46] Who can recommend good desklets site [22:46] dbrewer_rjr, that doesn't really say anything [22:46] Shanks: Pretty much yes, tho theres a command line interface too [22:47] hello [22:47] need some install help [22:47] gunja, Oh I see... Whats the command to open the graphical interface? [22:47] help please: is it possible to request a specific ip address through the dchp server of your local router? [22:47] hp_tux, thanks. will keep digging on cause of latency [22:47] installing on external drive.... it gets to 15% and seems not to contiunue after that? [22:48] how can i install using .rpm's? a friend told me once, but i forgot how, and he's on vacation :x [22:48] dbrewer_rjr, on a running system nearly all off the installed RAM is used some way [22:48] i have already set up partitions [22:48] ceil420, not a good idea to do that D: [22:48] ceil420 i think u need alien... [22:48] with partion magic [22:48] <|REM|> damn vacations... [22:48] Shanks, why not? [22:48] functionofxy, that sounds familiar [22:48] is the Catalyst 7.12 driver compatible with Feisty? if so, can anybody explain "dh_install" errors? [22:48] ceil420, cause of the dependencies and such [22:48] dbrewer_rjr, "free" tells you, how much swap space is actually used [22:48] komputes_, if you really CANT have any storage on #2 - you may want to check out the ssh fuse. filesystem tool. [22:48] !alien | ceil420 (the dangerous should be in caps) [22:48] ceil420 (the dangerous should be in caps): RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) [22:49] komputes_, perhaps do an iptunnle from 2 to 3 [22:49] komputes_, but thats over my head. (well the tunnle is) [22:49] well dangerous like "stuffs going to break" or dangerous like "the program just won't install"? [22:49] install help? [22:49] pls [22:49] ceil420, better off getting the source and cpmiling yourself [22:49] functionofxy, that's not working ;x [22:49] I need help with ADSL on Ubuntu,somebody can help me? [22:49] Dr_willis: ok cool thanks for pointing me in a direction [22:49] ceil420, perhaps u have a dependency issue? [22:50] ceil420, maybe double check ./configure output [22:50] ceil420: both, the post install script for a package makes assumptions about how a system is built, and rpm systems are very often different than deb based ones [22:50] help please: is it possible to request a specific ip address through the dchp server of your local router? [22:50] komputes_, its one of those 12 ways to do somthing problems. :) [22:50] what is the apt-get command to get vmware-server? [22:50] ***Error***: some autoconf macros required to build gno3dtet were not found in your aclocal path, or some forbidden macros were found. Perhaps you need to adjust your ACLOCAL_FLAGS? [22:50] old add deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu gutsy partner to your sources.list, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install vmware-server [22:50] Dr_willis: I'll try to find the other 10 as well [22:50] gunja, so... ?

[22:51] nickrud, oh hey man, whats up? [22:51] Shanks: Sorry been distracted. Whats ur status with it? [22:51] <|REM|> functionofxy: you can set your router to give you a specific ip address based on your mac address [22:51] komputes_, lets see... fuse is darn handy. and may have somthing like that allready. :0 or rsync, or... so on and so on. :) [22:51] bbl [22:51] Shanks: watching you struggle with truecrypt :) [22:51] |REM|, i dont have access to the dhcpd.conf file of the server [22:51] nickrud, at least it didn't screwed my initramfs this time :D === ubuntu is now known as virtualbox [22:52] http://eseb.net/3dtetris.php?c=bow <=- that's the game i want, and it only comes with source (with no ./configure) or .rpm :( [22:52] hello [22:52] gunja, well, I just installed it, need to know if there is a graphical interface or something [22:52] does anyone know of an alternative 3D tetris game?

[22:53] has anyone used virtualbox with XP as guest and Cisco VPN client on it? [22:53] OsvetniK, describing the problem a bit more than just letting someone know its about ADSL, will get you alot more help [22:53] Shanks: Sorry, it's only CLI [22:53] <|REM|> functionofxy: I'm not real linux swavvy, so no, i dont know of any way to do it [22:53] !anyone | virtualbox [22:53] virtualbox: 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? [22:53] gunja, lol, what? [22:53] gunja, now im confused :( [22:54] |REM|, thanks anyway!

[23:01] neverblue: well i would asume if its setup like a normal dvd and in the same file formats it should work i have run into the problem of the menu link color changes ending up below where they acutally should be but i dont thnk i can fx that [23:02] will laptops with intel graphic cards run well with compiz? [23:02] !offtopic | Oliazk [23:02] Oliazk: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [23:02] unityofsaints_: no the new kernel 2.6.24.xx.xx supported ? [23:02] slipttees: nope theres no direct way of doing that in installation, but just burn gparted live cd and boot from it to resize a ZFS partition before installing ubuntu [23:02] slipttees: can't you just resize the partition using native tools? and then install ubuntu when there is room [23:02] !gparted > slipttees [23:02] gparted.sourceforge.net [23:02] Xintrude1: depends on the chipset [23:02] ive decided kde isnt for me i installed it by running sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop [23:02] how to uninstall kde gnome for me is far better [23:03] slipttees: the kernel has nothing to do with the installer, so no [23:03] neverblue➲ use !o4o for offtopic [23:03] annonymouse: sudo aptitude purge kubuntu-desktop should work, unless i'm mistaken [23:03] annonymouse: you've probably installed lots of packages.. I think uninstalling kde manually will be some annoyingly boring work.. [23:03] kahrytan, why is that ? [23:03] Laney: isn't the desktop package just a meta-package? [23:03] unityofsaints_: compiled kernel new released have support ? [23:03] anyone got a suggestion for a GUI based ftp client that supports ssl encryption plz [23:03] !o4o > neverblue [23:03] whats the name of the program that edits partitions in ubuntu? [23:04] Slart: yes it is === chris1 is now known as Chris| [23:04] gunja, just one simple question... If I want to dismount the encrypted volume, can I just use the normal umount command or I have to use a special truecrypt parameter? [23:04] !gparted | Rufus [23:04] Slart: Yes, but I think aptitude will take care of removing it all. [23:04] Rufus: GParted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted-livecd.tuxfamily.org/ [23:04] !gparted | Rufus [23:04] kahrytan, your point being ? [23:04] thanks [23:04] kahrytan: no, neverblue was correct. [23:04] Shanks: truecrypt -d [23:04] np [23:04] gunja, umount is no good then? [23:04] thanks it did add konkerer kpoyte i prefer gnome [23:04] annonymouse: Try the aptitude line and see what it tries to remove. [23:04] i uninstall manually some of these [23:04] Laney, annonymouse: either way.. uninstalling the kde desktop package won't hurt.. might as well try it.. and let us know [23:04] Shanks: Well not sure if it closes off the volume properly [23:04] bailey321: try gftp [23:04] slipttees: yes the kernel has read/write for ZFS afaik but only once u have ubuntu installed. r u trying to install ubuntu on ZFS or access it with a ubuntu thats already installed? [23:05] gunja, I see, thanks again, everything is working great [23:05] thann0y does this support using the auth tls option [23:05] its doing something [23:05] somebody from venezuela???

Maybe you should check your RAM. [23:11] bsdunix: System Requirements [23:11] Ubuntu is available for PC, 64-Bit and Mac architectures. CDs require at least 256 MB of RAM.

[23:14] thanks, Slart [23:14] 128 MB, use Xubuntu [23:14] dgoodma: I did [23:14] so im assuming i can still log in so im going through add/Remove programs to see if any left over [23:14] sarthor, you need an advanced networking tutorial. look up articles on "Virtual Interfaces", since it's possible to get one interface to masquerade as multiple for the purposes of using more than one IP. and good luck [23:14] neverblue: colloquy. I am irc from my os x in case I needed to reboot the ubuntu one. [23:14] bsdunix: I think having 256MB should not crash the install too, but will ask you to create the swap fs asap.

[23:15] i've fully updated with update-manager but it's still not telling me there is a new distribution available (it's currently on dapper). how can i upgrade to gutsy?

[23:16] I get my Exchange mail using Evolution, or the Outlook Web Client [23:16] bazz: sudo update-manager -c .. if I remember correctly [23:16] preaction, trying now. [23:16] any ideas why my laptop crahes? [23:16] neverblue: yes, one suggestion was to remove resolutions that I wasn't using... [23:16] Slart: aah, that did it thanks :) [23:16] Xintruder: you can't narrow it down? when does it crash? when you do something specific? or just random [23:16] neverblue: it bounces to 800x600 vesa and generic monitor upon reboot. [23:16] Xintruder, hard to know, have you tried turning off all desktop effects? [23:17] sarthor, but seriously, what you're trying to do is not a trivial thing. consider buying a book, since i assume that if you're asking here, you're not exactly well-versed in *nix networking [23:17] hi when I was installing a program through apt-get I was told that I can uninstall devices I dont need by "apt-get autoremove" I did so and a whole list of application was uninstalled now my internet doesnt work and "ifconfig" doesnt show any device. How do I get my internet back? [23:17] It crashes on random, I just put appearance on no effects at all. It crashes at random, then I just reboot [23:17] if it never crahes again then I guess its compiz maybe? [23:17] I cant change my screen resolution with ubuntu and now im stick on 640x480 [23:17] How do I add a parallel port printer in Ubuntu?

There are a lot of problems (including WinXP un-Activating itself.) === Hugo_Ramone is now known as hugooooo [23:18] Xintruder, yeah, if turning off desktop effects leads to fewer crashes then it could be compiz. But it could easily be something else as well, so you just have to try it for a while [23:18] neverblue: single card, single monitor. [23:18] starnestommy, how? [23:19] davak, so your getting the res. everytime ? [23:19] ok thanks guys ill try [23:19] functionofxy, set qemu to use the partition's device node as the hda image [23:19] sarthor, public libraries around where you live perhaps? a Linux Users Group (LUG) might be able to loan you one. otherwise, again, good luck [23:19] hi when I was installing a program through apt-get I was told that I can uninstall devices I dont need by "apt-get autoremove" I did so and a whole list of application was uninstalled now my internet doesnt work and "ifconfig" doesnt show any device.

[23:20] davak, possibly try in #ati [23:20] neverblue: k. thx.

[23:38] yusuo: sounds like graphics card driver issue, i'm not very knowledgeable but i've had the same issue and that was the problem [23:38] will i be able to write over the same portion? [23:38] fallore: so I should uninstall the one from Synaptic ? [23:38] hugo-br: it's possible that it would cause problems, but not shutting down suddenly [23:38] yusuo: maybe try googling "resolution error annonymouse: That's good!

[23:46] yusuo: what did you try doing? [23:46] slart RS480 PCI bridge? [23:46] i tried editing the xorg.conf file into nvidia [23:46] dfault312, what doesnt work ? [23:46] it came up saying that it had to run in low graphics mode [23:47] booting my thin client [23:47] pavs: don't think so.. anything else? [23:47] neverblue: booting my thin client. after that message, its just a blinking cursor instead of the login screen [23:47] yusuo: have you tried seeing if there were any additional drivers for your card? [23:47] Ok, i've been using windows xp pro sp2 for a long time, then i've installed ubuntu by the following way: deleted the c:\ partition (windows is on d:\) and formatted it by the manual mode. Now linux is installed, but grub only recognizes ubuntu. I've already changed the listfile, but grub says an error like "unable to run executable" [23:48] dfault312, first time u installed it ? [23:48] yes and no [23:48] http://pastebin.ubuntu-uk.org/557 [23:48] slart I see wireless card... [23:48] pavs: is that the "yukon"-card? [23:49] @neverblue: the first time, i used wubi and installed it from windows. this time i got a second hard drive in the server and did a clean install. [23:49] i haven't had this problem before even with the same card [23:49] So anyone have any experience with port multipliers in Ubuntu? [23:49] slart no the internal BCM4318 which I never used [23:49] !wubi [23:49] dfault312, im not familiar with wubi, but it sounds like the install didnt like ur audio hardware [23:49] wubi is an unofficial Ubuntu installer for Windows users - more info is at http://www.cutlersoftware.com/ubuntusetup/wubi/en-US/index.html [23:49] slart I have another wireless card which was also working before the problem [23:49] Anyone know why an Ubuntu installation CD is showing me a black screen? I see it load up, but then the screen goes dark. I screwed up a nVidia video card driver installation earlier, and would like to just wipe everything and start fresh. [23:50] pavs: 2 wireless cards? === arnadelo_ is now known as arnadelo [23:50] ryanp: some nvidia cards have trouble showing the boot splash screen.. that might be it [23:50] @neverblue: can i disable my audio hardware? or make the install like it? [23:50] !apt-get [23:50] APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit.

[23:51] slart PCI-E FAST ethernet controller by Marvell technology [23:52] ryanp: yes.. the boot splash thingy does bad things.. you can't just wait it out.. try booting with "nosplash" in grub..or remove the "splash". can't remember which [23:52] slart interface eth1 [23:52] pavs: sounds like a winner.. [23:52] pavs: can you disable those in the bios? are they enabled? [23:53] I keep getting this error, " not allowed to access the system configuration" when I try to change my users and groups in xubuntu [23:53] slart when I type ifconfig eth1 it shows info [23:53] hello, does anyone know if it is possible to upgrade from knoppix to ubuntu via apt? [23:53] pavs: but not when you just run "ifconfig" ? [23:53] slart how do I disable? they are not even working [23:53] tiagobugarin: umm they are two different systems [23:53] slart nothing shows when only ifconfig [23:53] I have a problem with compiz + nautilus, if I ever close nautilus in maximized state, compiz seems to save both navigation_window_saved_maximized =true and navigation_window_saved_geometry to the maximized window size... so nex time I open nautilus it opens maximized, but when I unmaximize, it restores to the same size as maximized.... it seems to be a compiz bug, is anyone else experiencing this?? [23:53] tiagobugarin: Would be better to save your home directory and start from scratch. [23:54] tiagobugarin: you can try replacing /etc/apt/sources.list with a ubuntu one, but you're likely to run into no end of problems [23:54] pavs: on my desktop computer I can disable my on board network cards in bios.. I was just wondering if yours might be disabled there too.. but then they wouldn't show up inthe hardware info [23:54] pavs: what does "ifconfig eth1" return? [23:54] <|unjustice|> anyone know how to fix the system clock in ubuntu gutsy?

Ubuntu comes with ntpdate by default [23:58] pavs: do this "cat /etc/network/interfaces".. how many lines of output? do you see eth1 eth0? anything else === reconnect is now known as recon [23:58] fallore: or shoul dI download and instaLl the rpm version form the site ?
