[00:00] !chroot | ijn [00:00] ijn: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot use this to build 32 bit environments on a 64 bit box === ubuntu is now known as stelt [00:00] ijn: ask that question on google [00:00] daniel-w-> same file to configure [00:00] wibou: I'll check it out, thanks. [00:00] ok thanks [00:00] pike_, a more specific question might help [00:00] creature : it's a really good howto for debian (almost ubuntu). However it's a bit old, the part about initrd is wrong now, no one use that kibd of stuff :) [00:00] wibou: God, I've got the screaming heebie jeebies already. [00:01] creature : if you make it to initrd, I can tell you how to do it with iniramfs... it's easier in fact :) [00:01] There must be a way I can convince the partioner "Hey! Check out /dev/md0 in your partion menus!", surely? [00:01] bkar-> where can I find a list of options to pass to interfaces? the man interfaces doesnt list all the wpa options [00:01] creature, wibou, except for all the stuff that's wrong, everything is right :) [00:01] creature, sure, just add it to /etc/fstab [00:01] creature, no, wait [00:01] daniel3ub: in the wpasupplicant and wireless-tools docs [00:01] Also, not partioner. partitioner, and partition. I typo. [00:02] creature, sorry, that's not for the partitioner [00:02] creature, just do: fisk /dev/md0 [00:02] creature : sethk is right but the array has to get built first [00:02] s/fisk/fdisk/ [00:02] #cuneo [00:02] The partition is setup. There is a filesystem on it. [00:02] anyone good with LDAP, im wondering if cn and ou are interchangeable (trying to get openfire to work with LDAP) ? [00:02] can anyone help me with a compiz cube caps problem? [00:02] erawfish: can I use the wpa_supplicant options in /etc/interfaces? [00:02] It is just not seen by the installer's step 4. [00:02] sethk : err the device wont be there unless he made the raid array first [00:02] Is there a reason why "the list of applications is unavailable" in the Add/Remove Manager [00:02] daniel3ub: yes [00:03] how do I get the gnome power manager not to open [00:03] at least in those 2 places there are the docs if any [00:03] i am not even on a laptop [00:03] erawfish: hmm, it makes things veeery easier :) [00:03] hi, apparently my windows key is not recognised as Super key but as Mod4 although I bound Super to it in gnome keyboard settings - how do I fix this? [00:03] wibou: I've made the array. I've made a filesystem on it. [00:03] * creature tests. [00:03] When running GH3 with wine I get required security module can not be activated. This program can not be executed. [00:04] creature : oh sorry I missed that part. [00:04] kst-, you can use xmodmap to change it. There may be an easier way, though. [00:04] Yep, I can even mount it. [00:04] erawfish: What conf file does wpa_supplicant load at startup? [00:04] But it does not show up in step 4 of the graphical installer's 'setup partitions manually'. [00:04] creature : then sethk is right, adding it to fstab should work... it does not? [00:04] wibou: Ok, so I add it to the fstab, re-run the installer, and it'll show up? [00:05] * creature tries. [00:05] sethk hmm :( i'm trying to get gnome-do to work, to recognise any shortcuts but it wont [00:05] creature : give it a try :D [00:05] im trying to install a cap and i know where to install it (compizconfig>compiz cube) but when i go to compiz-themes.org all i can really do is save a pic to my desktop and for some reason when i go to choose it in config it doesn't see the pic and won't let me choose it. [00:05] * chalcedony smiles [00:05] ballongen: I try using the emerald thing but when i try to modify the theme im using right now nothing changes [00:05] kst-, xmodmap is a lower level X utility, so it will work with gnome, but using it is more than a bit arcane. [00:05] any help? [00:05] how do i get the little slider arrows back on the top and bottom bars? [00:06] creature : you should have other partition in fstab mounted on /media, just make md0 of of them... [00:06] sethk so is "Super" something you can bind? :) [00:06] erawfish: What conf file does wpa_supplicant load at startup? [00:06] sethk or any idea how to reset keyboard settings completely? [00:06] creature : I guess the livecd wasn't able to find the raid [00:06] wibou: I don't, but it seems to find them anyway. I guess it's because they're in /dev/mapper. [00:06] chalcedony: panel prefs -> show hide buttons [00:06] kst-, you can bind anything at that level, but as I said, the syntax is odd. [00:06] neo, did you log out and log back in? [00:07] i didnt say i have to [00:07] Ne0: alt-f2 emerald --replace will apply the changes [00:07] nickrud: thank you :) [00:07] kst-, one thing you can do is, if the mapping is correct at boot, you can use xmodmap to generate a configuration file. You can then restore that configuration at anytime with xmodmap [00:07] ok [00:07] thx [00:07] what is the hoary channel? [00:07] Ne0: you'd think they should auto change :) [00:07] anolis: here, but hoary isn't supported anymore [00:07] Ne0: sometimes, u need to logout to see the change [00:07] i used only windows up to today :| [00:07] kst-, to see what you are dealing with, run the "xev" utility, put the mouse in xev's window, and press various keys. You'll see how it works [00:07] is gnome power manager supposed to be open even when on a desktop [00:07] not hoary... hmm what is the one after gutsy lol [00:07] kst-, but it's very low level; you'll see meta up, meta down, that sort of thing [00:07] umm where is panel preferences? [00:07] Ne0: its still in a early devolop [00:08] the new one [00:08] 8.04 the alpha [00:08] anolis: ah #ubuntu+1 [00:08] ty [00:08] kst-, if you can figure out the syntax, you can quite literally make any key do anything. I've used it to move the shift lock key location, for example. [00:08] anolis: they are alphabetical i thought? [00:08] chalcedony: right click panel, properties not prefs sorry [00:08] sethk it's the left win key, which is key 115... [00:08] anolis, the channel for hardy discussion is #ubuntu+1 === lyndsay is now known as RB2 [00:08] chalcedony: the first few (warty, hoary, breezy weren't [00:08] yeah sethk i know as once my spacebar was broken so I bound left alt to space while waiting for my new keyboard ;-) [00:08] Hey everyone. [00:09] daniel3 its /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf [00:09] Ok, I added it to /etc/fstab, but it did not appear in the manual partitioner.

Hold on, I need google now [00:09] jac0b, yes, it's kinda weird .. but its there [00:09] does anyone know of a paint program that is less complex than gimp? more comparable to ms paint? [00:10] peeps: you can try gpaint [00:10] I installed wine from the repos, but the entire machine locks up when attempting to run winecfg or any wine apps. Any suggestions? [00:10] that is weird [00:10] ok sethk will try :) thanks [00:10] I thought that was a laptop tool [00:10] nickrud, thanks, installing now [00:10] sethk any idea what config file for keyboard i am using atm? so i can have a look at it? [00:11] great that works :)) [00:11] i got ubuntu to load the install screen and when i hit start my screen turns off [00:11] jac0b, well, not really, it's used to interface with APM/ACPI to control things like blanking the monitor, hdd suspends, etc [00:11] no one has heard of that error with wine? [00:11] kst-, there is an X utility that will tell you, but I don't remember it off the top of my head. [00:11] but i still have a problem.. there is a firefox window that won't focus .. i can't move it ? [00:11] anyone know how to get the media card reader to work with pavillion dv6000t?

[00:15] hello for all i am new user for ubuntu [00:16] creature : well... if you are really hardcore, you could degrade one drive of you raid, install on it, then resync the raid from "inside" the installed system [00:16] morning all :D [00:16] will someone answer that Q of mine [00:16] un0p, i have alot of ou=something, but the doc (http://www.igniterealtime.org/builds/openfire/docs/latest/documentation/ldap-guide.html) is making refernce to cn=something alot, so do I need to change my LDAP setup to accomidate ? [00:16] UberDay: Please define what you men by commandline or graphical [00:16] *mean [00:16] wibou: First of all, I'm going to try and fake out the installer with a symlink. [00:16] dose any one know how to setup a tv card [00:17] creature : hehe it might works... look like you are not new to *nix at all are you? :P [00:17] how hard is it to get some help around here [00:17] i mean does it run through the terminal or is it installed into the internet section on the applications menu?

[00:18] genii: can u help me [00:19] UberDay: They are serverr or services and not applications as such [00:19] does OOo have VBA support? [00:19] no [00:19] Lord-FaKe, what was your question [00:19] Lord_Gekko: Please state the problem and we shall see [00:19] When running GH3 with wine I get required security module can not be activated. This program can not be executed. [00:19] * stelt will get Vista tomorrow to at least have 1 installed OS, while i keep trying to install ubuntu at the same time [00:19] i got ubuntu to load the install screen and when i hit start my screen turns off [00:19] wibou: I don't think degrading it will work. I don't know the details, but I *think* that software RAID writes some special data to the /dev/hda1 partition (for instance). So even if I degrade one, I don't think it'll get mirrored across when I un-degrade it later, if you see what I mean. [00:19] thats the prob [00:20] neverblue, well, it's hard to say -- i would treat them as different entities, non-interchangeable -- a CN (common name) is part of an OU (organisational unit) much like the way J.Smith (CN) is an employee of ACME's accounting department (OU) [00:20] I mean, even if I degrade it to just one disk, /dev/hda1 will not look the same as /dev/md0. [00:20] Lord_Gekko: try in vga mode [00:20] ? [00:20] how [00:20] ok what i meant was. this does it run as an application or does it run just in the terminal its self [00:20] When you boot from the CD, there's a "load livecd in safe graphics mode" option. [00:20] but never mind i got the website up for it here thank you very much for your help genii [00:20] anyone know how to get the dv6000t card reader to work? [00:21] genii: what is vga mode and how do i activate it [00:21] un0p, think you can spoonfeed me with this ? [00:21] creature : well, it depends on your raid level and such but on a raid1, as example, you can still use the array if one drive is missing [00:22] UberDay: OK, good. Services are generally started in terminal by their entry in /etc/init.d and background themselves whereas applications are started either from commandline by their name or occasionally from their gui application entry and do not background their process [00:22] neverblue, well, my knowledge of LDAP is quite superficial .. i could try [00:22] wibou: Yeah, but you've still got to access it through the RAID device. [00:22] creature : however readding the second drive will make the raid to resync itself and it take age :) [00:22] un0p, have you looked at that URL I posted ? [00:22] neverblue, had a glance through it [00:22] Lord_Gekko: During boot of the cd there is a menu, first is strt or install ubuntu. One of the others is to start in vga mode [00:23] where is the font directory in ubuntu? [00:23] ok [00:23] un0p, ldap.groupNameField ** -- the field name that the groupname lookups will be performed on. If this property is not set, the default value is cn. [00:23] Lord_Gekko: Choose the vga one instead of letting it go to the default entry [00:23] i believe i tride both [00:23] creature : right, but as I said, you could remove a drive, install on it as a "normal" drive (no raid) then mount the degraded raid, copy the newly installed system on it, then sync the raid [00:23] un0p, i am unsure if this can be set to ou [00:23] what do i do if it doesent work [00:23] wibou: Yeah, I don't think that'll work. [00:24] creature : then you would have to edit fstab, grub and initrd, but theorically, it would workd :D [00:24] does anyone know when hardy is comming out? [00:24] anyone have a pavillion 6000 or alike? [00:24] april UberDay [00:24] Lord_Gekko: Do you have more than 1 monitor plug on your computer? Perhaps try to see if the second one is being used [00:24] creature : you mean like one hundred way to make a mistake? :) [00:24] youre new arent you UberDay [00:24] Lord_Gekko genii What about the nosplash or nobootsplash command? [00:24] yes i am [00:24] o yea i do have 2 ports [00:24] i was introduced to ubuntu by my friend Chris Randolph [00:24] Lord_Gekko: There are also some video cards which do not like the vesa driver, intel 810 series for example [00:24] so it may be swiching over [00:25] UberDay: for future reference you can take the numbers of ubuntus release to figure out the month and year [00:25] 1 of the programmers who helped get the java packages working in the first versions of ubuntu [00:25] for example ubuntu 7.10 2007 10th month [00:25] Lord_Gekko: If 2 video outputs, yes may be using second one after a certain point [00:25] neverblue, well, in the context of something like active directory - i should be inclined to say that using OU instead of CN to perform lookups might give you some very surprising results [00:25] or ubuntu 8.04 [00:25] ok ill be back [00:25] I would like to get a list of the largest files on my ubuntu file system. What command should I use to do this? [00:25] wibou: No, I mean that you're saying that I can just install on /dev/hda1 and then the raid will 'think' that it has to mirror that to /dev/hdb1 when it comes back. But I'm saying it's not that simple; a software RAID1 array is not just a standard partition replicated. It might look that way to the OS, but the actual data on the physical disk is not that way. [00:26] neverblue, same if OU and CN are set to the same value in your setup, that might give you bizarre results too [00:26] UberDay: did u get all that? [00:26] what is the deb file i have to add to the repo's to install vmware-server? [00:26] un0p, so I need to change my LDAP structure ? [00:26] =)!!! real partion is what im on =) [00:26] yah i got it unagi [00:26] I installed wine from the repos, but the entire machine locks up when attempting to run winecfg or any wine apps. Any suggestions? [00:26] johnnyg: I believe there is a program available through synaptic called Graphic Disk that will do that [00:27] idk if windows is still there because it was black for a couple mins so i did somthing when i came back it was at login screen [00:27] cool UberDay [00:27] why is it my xchat beeps every time someone says my name [00:27] creature : you don't understand. It's possible to mount an array saying a drive is "missing". I did it sometime. If you install on /dev/hda1, then you could mount the raid1 using /dev/hdb1 AND "missing" (it's a keyword in mdadm). [00:27] does anyone know where i would begin to getting my card reader working? [00:27] made me think someone was a bot yesterday night :( [00:27] UberDay: ive never had xchat beep just bounce the icon and highlight ti [00:27] nickrud: Is there a way to only move the Updates from 1 ubuntu boot to another? [00:27] it beeps when someone says UberDay [00:27] or it might just be my pc [00:27] thats the main reason i hate reinstalling the long updates.. [00:27] im not sure [00:27] creature : THEN you would have to copy what's installed on /dev/hda1 to /dev/md0 and THEN to resync the raid (readding /dev/hda1, thus destroying what's on it) [00:27] can someone help me with gnome-do? i cant get any shortcut to work with it :( [00:27] Johnny_5, du -a / | sort -rn | head -n 2 [00:28] well yea.........it lets u know someone is talking to you UberDay [00:28] yah [00:28] ive just never heard an audible beep.........check your prefs UberDay [00:28] i got to turn it off [00:28] ballongen: can you also tell me where to get or how to install a mac like icondock? [00:28] will do [00:28] made me think someone in here was a bot last night and i think i upset them a bit [00:28] creature : I did this trick once, maybe my explanation is wrong, but trust me, it's possible :) [00:28] wibou: Ok, I can see that working, but God that's hideous. [00:29] un0p, well, I have to run, thanks for attempting [00:29] neverblue, well, it depends again .. if you are just testing something out, the consequences might be bearable .. but if you are planning to deploy this in a production system, it might be worth setting LDAP up structuredly [00:29] And complicated by my troublesome partition being what I want to use for /boot. :| [00:29] creature : wel... yes it is :( [00:29] Whats the command to Backup Installed Packages? [00:29] neverblue, yw === julian_ is now known as julabask [00:29] hey.. would anyone be able to answer a quick question about burning an ISO [00:29] ImBoden: we won't find out unless you ask it. [00:29] ImBoden: just throw the question out there [00:30] how do you run .msi files with wine? [00:30] #winehq is empty [00:30] ok i hope that stopped the beep [00:30] ImBoden : yup?& [00:30] Bah! I've hosed my X screen resolution and Ubuntu now locks up when I boot it up. Suggestions, anybody? [00:30] i've downloaded the ubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386.iso... im having a brain freeze... do i extract that with winrar, or do i burn just the ISO to cd? [00:30] Darkmystere, errm .. you can make a list of installed packages with dpkg -l .. most, if not all the .deb packages are located in /var/cache/apt/archives .. so you should probably backup that location and the output of dpkg -l [00:30] anyone using gutsy with iwl4965 or iwl3945 drivers? [00:31] could anyone tell me how to install a mac like icondock? [00:31] ImBoden : you just burn it _as a cd image_. If you have a .iso on the cd at the end, you made the mistake :P [00:31] ImBoden: An ISO is a disk image. Your CD burning software should have an option to burn an image to a CD. You don't have to extract it beforehand. [00:31] or where to get one [00:31] ImBoden, you need to have an iso burner to burn it to a cd [00:31] neo: awn curves [00:31] ub0p: I mean to move the installed packages from 1 ubuntu boot to another i think its possible i dont want to update again >> [00:31] ImBoden, burn to cd to install it you must boot from cd cant install from another os [00:31] !cloning [00:31] Zermelo how/where do i get / install it, is it [00:31] Darkmystere : you mean, to avoid redownloading them again? [00:31] Hey guys ^^ [00:32] wibou: Yea [00:32] Ne0: hold, ill find the link [00:32] thank you [00:32] How do i Install linux without a cd-drive and network-access [00:32] thx all [00:32] !cloning | Darkmystere [00:32] Ne0: its on the ubuntu forum [00:32] RinTinTigger: From a USB key? [00:32] ImBoden, right you dont extract first just burn as an image [00:32] ok [00:32] Creature Yeah...and how do i do that? [00:32] Ne0: i have it bookmarked, hold [00:32] johnnyg: it is called gdmap [00:32] I am to dumb ^^ [00:32] Darkmystere : downloaded package are in /var/cache/apt/archives/ [00:33] wibou: There must be an easier way. I thought I could maybe use device-mapper to create a device in /dev/mapper for the raid partition. But I don't know how. [00:33] Darkmystere, try looking up "cloning ubuntu" in the ubuntu forums .. there's procudure on this documented [00:33] Got no windows to run wibu [00:33] unagi you still here [00:33] un0p: i used that command i think ubotu is muted from u because it worked for me [00:33] why does my ssh session keep on stopping to respond after a short period ? this is ubuntu specific , some setting in ssh for inactivity timeout ? [00:33] meh [00:33] how do i install ubuntu from liveCD while the installer hangs on the partitioning step? [00:33] -.- im f**cked [00:34] now because i don't have a net connection yet, can i just install the 7.10 over what is installed now with no issues? currently installed is 6.06LTS [00:34] Hi everyone; I recently installed Ubuntu on my (first-generation) Macbook Pro, and I used Envy to install the latest ATI driver (since the one in the repositories is quite lacking for the MBP). It works fine except that it won't go to the full native resolution, only as high as 1152x864. The strange part is that when I run the Catalyst control panel, it recognizes that the "Maximum resolution" is 1440x900, but still the slider wil [00:34] l only go up to 1152x864. I've run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and set the resolution to 1440x900 but no change. Anyone have any ideas? =/ [00:34] creature : me neither, sorry... still it's quite strange that you don't have the option to make up a new raid array in the installer [00:34] Darkmystere, probably, ubotu is having a little trouble now [00:34] yea UberDay [00:34] wibou: Maybe I do, and just don't see it. Where would it be? [00:34] Is there a way to copy with root previlages? [00:34] apetrescu, you need to make sure the refresh rates are correct otherwise the resolutions wont work [00:34] within terminal [00:34] can anyone help me with my imwheel config? [00:35] Darkmystere, sudo cp /path/to/file [00:35] soldats, where can I check them? [00:35] RinTinTigger: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick [00:35] Creature: i got no Windows installed to run wubi [00:35] Darkmyste: use it with the sudo command. sudo cp .... [00:35] stelt, errm, how capable are you with linux -- especally debian/ubuntu? [00:35] !sudo [00:35] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information. [00:35] TY creature :) [00:35] apetrescu, xorg.conf ie. /etc/X11/xorg.conf [00:35] ill look that one up [00:35] Bah! I've hosed my X screen resolution and Ubuntu now locks up when I boot it up. Suggestions, anybody?

[00:36] lee_, so what exactly happened [00:36] Okay, so when I'm ready to install a new video card, should I, upon reboot, have the monitor plugged into the new card or the old? [00:36] creature : I found some nice printscreen on my search on google... let's see if I can find them back [00:36] stelt, you might like to have a look at the alternate CD .. it follows the "conventional" way of installing linux [00:36] Well i have Wubi Loopmounted and then mounted again so i can pull files here [00:36] !alternate [00:36] The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD - See also !Minimal [00:36] apetrescu, googel your monitor model number and change accordingly, there should be a manufactureer page that will tell you [00:36] !minimal [00:36] The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [00:36] soldats: so I changed my screen resolution in Gnome, trying to get it to come up correctly - and usually it reverts if you don't approve - but it seems to have locked the system. [00:37] is there a chan for compiz? [00:37] SpeakerMania,you plug it into the new card [00:37] #compiz ? [00:37] lee_, blank screen [00:37] lagann_, okay. Just making sure. :) Thanks.

[I don't know the specs of it at this moment or i'd tell you what those pieces of hardware were.] [00:37] thx [00:37] flowers: #ubuntu-effects or #compiz-fusion [00:37] unOp, do you have a URL that explains the differences between the liveCD and the alternate CD ? [00:37] AirstrikeIvanov, pop in the installation CD? [00:37] soldats: and caps lock / num lock don't do anything. when I reboot, I get the GRUB, and it fires up Ubuntu...and then locks. [00:37] lee_, you need to edit you xorg.conf and make sure the refresh rates are properly set [00:37] what was the name of the package that installs an app that instances pgp and ssh agents and propagates them thorough the environments on my session and helps me add keys to the agens? [00:37] wibou: Cool, thanks. [00:38] genii: it dident work [00:38] AirstrikeIvanov: Perhaps check the laptop testing wki page [00:38] because i don't have a net connection yet, can i just install the 7.10 over what is installed now with no issues? currently installed is 6.06LTS [00:38] hey does any one elses laptop run very slow and studders after booting from hibernation, Does any one know how to fix this? [00:38] soldats: how do I do that when I can't get to a prompt? [00:38] SpeakerMania: It's a friend's laptop. He gave it to me to fix it up, he put Linux on it first. I'm not even sure what distro he put on at this point. [00:38] Gekkomon_Shogun: This is Lord_Gekko ? [00:38] Hi. [00:38] also is there a way to install mass amount of packages at once? === jbinder__ is now known as jbinder [00:38] anyone using the iwl4965 wifi drivers? [00:38] AirstrikeIvanov, ah. [00:38] creature: there http://users.piuha.net/martti/comp/ubuntu/en/raid.html [00:38] yea it had put me under my old name [00:38] Darkmystere, write a script to do it.

I apt-get removed a package and it ended up removing a bunch of vital packages... like ubuntu-minimal.. etc. [00:39] un0p: Nope that's not it [00:39] lee_: when it seems to lock you might be able to get to a command line by ctrl+alt+f2 [00:39] Dr_Willis: Can u walk me through theres like 300 packages.. [00:39] Zermelo, i am using that driver [00:39] I have a USB keyboard and the num lock light is on all the time, even when i press the num lock button. same with the caps lock and scroll lock. ? [00:39] ciao [00:39] genii: what should i do now [00:39] I reinstalled all of them and everything is still working except every minute or so, Xorg freezes for 5-10 seconds. [00:39] lee_, press ctrl+alt+f2 and do "sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf" and check the refersh rates. and edit them when you figure out what they should be [00:39] Darkmystere, depends on how ya got the list.. easy way would be make a script that has a few dozen+ 'sudo apt-get install whatever packages you want' lines [00:39] Gekkomon_Shogun: If you have sufficient bandwidth I would suggest to download the alternate installation cd and use that [00:39] And the CPU usage of X goes up [00:39] ?

One is usual livecd with graphical installer. The other is text based install which is the alternate instal cd. The third is for server install [00:40] Dr_willis i have wubi mounted on my real install.. im not directly in wubi [00:41] Lars_G_, perhaps you meant something else (perhaps of a GUI kind) and i'm not aware of one (as of yet) [00:41] julabask : there might be a bug with ACPI on your laptop... some buggy bios/processor combination make silly bugs, like processor refusing using any other clock speed than the "minimal" one [00:41] how big is the alternate [00:41] julabask : what's your laptop exactly? [00:41] Gekkomon_Shogun: So if it is the video driver the graphical installer is choking on, use the text based install method of the alternate cd [00:41] Darkmystere, use those commands.. copy the text file it makes somewhere that you can access it from the other install.. boot other install.. run the other comand [00:41] Gekkomon_Shogun, the alternate CD ?? about the same size of the live CD [00:41] un0p: Correct, but what I am asking for, is a program that I used to use that instantiates the ssh and pgp agents, propagates their environment data thorough all open environments on my session, and lets me add keys en-masse to the agents [00:41] kk [00:42] Darkmystere, or chroot to the wubi install. run the command, copy file over.. [00:42] Gekkomon_Shogun: The alternate is about same size as the usual, perhaps a bit smaller [00:42] there [00:42] Dr_Willis Ok i did chroot Ok where would the file be [00:42] un0p: I decided to apt-cache search for ssh and read one by one... package's "keychain" [00:42] Darkmystere, whever you are at when you run the command.. [00:42] wibou, yea my laptop is an hp nc6400 and i finally after a lot of bugy fixes i got hibernation and suspend to work but aparently hibernation is still acting bugy [00:43] Zermelo: i used the tutorial to install awn-curves but at the last step i get an error message [00:43] Lars_G_, IIRC, the gnome-session or x-session-manager is invoked via an ssh-agent instance .. and you can add keys to that instance of ssh agent so pretty much all your desktop applications are aware of that addition [00:43] broken package [00:43] Ne0: gutsy? [00:43] how do i find out? [00:43] julabask : hmmm it does not look good... what's the processor on that thing? [00:43] Ne0: you don't know what distro you have? [00:44] Ne0: 7.10 is gutsy [00:44] ya thats mine [00:44] Zermelo: i got 7.10 [00:44] Ne0: I suggest trying to uninstall and reinstall. It worked for me, I just copied and pasted from the tutorial, and I'm on gutsy [00:44] wibou : i have the intel 2.0 ghz core 2 duo i believe its processor model is called t7200 [00:45] julabask : okay, intel... are you familiar with the command line? [00:45] yea i have done a bit in the terminal [00:45] wibou, yea i have done a bit in the terminal [00:46] Zermelo it says something about avant-window-navigator-bzr... depends on libwan-bzr [00:46] and so on [00:46] wibou, i am new to linux but i am a freshman compsci major so it will make sense to me [00:46] okay... open a terminal and try this : sudo cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_cur_freq [00:47] how do i use the "7.1" audio from my soundcard in linux? audio is onboard evga 650i motherboard, there is no S/PDIF outs but 6 individual 3.5mm jacks which apparently can be configured as front l-r, surround l-r, center, and sub .. at least it works that way in windows with the software.. [00:47] Ne0: you could just install the the avant window navigator, you wont have a curve but it will look like a 3d Doc === phoul_ is now known as Phoul [00:47] wibou: Ah, no, that's the text installer, which always crashes for me. [00:47] I've tried doing that twice now and it never works. [00:48] hey, I was wondering if there are any known memory leaks in either compiz or the ATI drivers that would have popped up in 7.10. I had compiz working fine in 7.04, but after I upgraded it runs into problems after a few minutes and starts running very slowly [00:48] Zermelo: how do i install it? [00:48] wibou, it came up with this as the response 1000000 [00:48] wibou: I'm talking about the graphical installer on the desktop CD. [00:48] darkkith: More importantly would be the chipset which the sound uses [00:48] I've got an 80 gig HD and am close to maxing out space. I know that the stuff I've put on here isn't more than 20 gigs. Is there a tool or command thats best for tracking down which files or folders are out of proportion size wise? [00:48] julabask : okay, that's your actual cpu frequency... it mean you are using speedstep or another cpu scaling driver [00:49] julabask : now what I would try would be to make sure the frequency read from that file once you get out hibernation make sense, and if not, try to force one [00:50] wibou, yea i have speedstep enabled and i have that intel virtualization enabled in my bios to becuase i do virtualized between this and windows [00:50] genii: alsa mixer shows "Card: HDA NVidia Chip: Realtek ALC885" [00:50] wibou, how do i do what you just said [00:51] julabask : okay, go in the directory I gave you (in command) : cd /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/ [00:51] wibou, ok [00:52] Zermelo: how do i install it or where do i get awn [00:52] wibou, i am there [00:52] johnnyg: du will tell yoiu total on a folder but there are some gui apps [00:52] Well Drwillis: Can u help me make the script the otheer thing wont work i dun think.. [00:52] julabask : now if you use "ls", you will see some file here. Important files are : scaling_available_frequencies and scaling_cur_freq [00:52] darkkith: Ah, good start. IT looks like this one is probably using the snd_hda_intel driver then. I am currently having issues with one of these Realtek chips trying to get it to accept microphone input actually. But for output your mixer chould be selectable for what type usually [00:52] DCC SEND OMFG684GFSDGDG^(#^*^363276902 [00:53] wibou, yes i see that. to be exact this is what is see. affected_cpus ondemand scaling_driver stats [00:53] cpuinfo_cur_freq scaling_available_frequencies scaling_governor [00:53] cpuinfo_max_freq scaling_available_governors scaling_max_freq [00:53] cpuinfo_min_freq scaling_cur_freq scaling_min_freq [00:53] Ne0: http://devolio.com/blog/archives/82-Installing-Avant-Window-Navigator-in-Gutsy.html === chimp_in_basemen is now known as chimp_below [00:53] thak you === julian is now known as julabask [00:54] hello [00:54] wibou i got disconnected but i see what you were saying [00:54] genii: i don't really see an option for selecting how the ports work in alsamixer, am i looking in the wrong place or thinking wrongly? [00:54] julabask : just dont paste too much on channel :D [00:55] wibou, what should i do with those files [00:55] genii: i haven't a need for inputs on this computer but i can test it here with my mic if you like [00:55] yea i forgot that but i realized that [00:55] julabask : if you want to see what frequency your processor is know to support, try : sudo cat scaling_available_frequencies [00:56] julabask : then if you want to force a frequency, you can try : sudo echo 1875000 > scaling_cur_freq [00:56] julabask : here im setting 1,875Ghz, with is my processor maximum :P [00:56] with == which [00:57] wibou, okay but why do i want to force a frequency will that prevent hibernation from being confused or something [00:57] hello everyone. Is someone available to help me with compiz slow down problems, or know of a website that walks people through it? I'm using an ATI card and know they have been problematic, but I had everything working fine under 7.04. For some reason after upgrading to 7.10 compiz now runs fine for a few minutes and then slows way, way down. I guess if you can help me but are busy right now, please msg me so I'll wait around [00:57] julabask : well, it's just a guess, but MAYBE your processor get stuck on a low frequency when coming back from hibernation, due to an ACPI bug [00:58] i've just installed t38modem package, what command do i use to list the installed files from that package? [00:58] julabask : so trying to force a frequency when you coming back from hibernation would be my first guess [00:58] darkkith: I am on kde mainly and using kmix there but it has same range of input and output things. On this laptop my digital audio comes out same place as headphones go, but I just choose "digital" as input source and then mute pcm etc [00:58] ack_, i had problems untill i install the driver 8.44.3 and it worked perfectly but it is difficult to install once i fix my problem i will find the website i used to install that [00:58] anyone know the bsd equivalent of lspci? [00:59] how can i remove write protection from usb stick? [00:59] hi all someone mentioned this before but i forgot to write it down, im looking for a bootable floppy that supports usb cdroms [00:59] wibou, okay thank i will try that next time that makes a lot of sense. one other question does having virtualization effect performance or stability in any way on my computer when i am not running parallels or virtual environment [00:59] RinTinTigger: there might be a switch on the usb device, like a switch between a lock, and an unlock symbol [01:00] well there isnt [01:00] Anyone know what the channel and server are for evolution? [01:00] Well Anyone help lol>.> [01:00] what is alpha blurring under compiz fusion? [01:00] RinTinTigger: you want to mount it with rw for regular users not just root? [01:01] darkmystere whats your question [01:01] ack_, this is the site it only works if you follow the installation for manual installation, http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide [01:01] genii: interesting, i don't seem to have that kind of option but i have noticed that i can control the channels individualls in alsamixer (front l-r, center, lfe, surround l-r) [01:01] I'm having trouble configuring a dual-widescreen setup... both displays are recognize, but the option to set one as secondary is grayed out. Why? [01:01] julabask : hmmm haven't played much with virtualization... I guess there can be performance issue, no clue about stability. === roger_ is now known as coreyo|remote [01:01] genii: i think it seems like a 'fake digital' i wish this had a S/PDIF but .. this will do i suppose for now ..

I can't get compiz cube caps to work. I would really appreciate any help. I'm somewhat of a n00b. thanx [01:06] Hi all. How do you merge near duplicate directories [01:07] hi hi. is there a way that i can setup fspot to check a folder for new pics every time it starts? [01:07] dsnyders, you want to copy from one directory to another but only the stuff that is different? [01:08] Johnson-> man xmodmap [01:10] markov_ I've always imported the new folder each time. I think you can set that up in digikam though... I think... [01:10] stupid question.. I've done it before too.. how do I exit a man page ? [01:10] Scunizi, yes, along with removing the duplicates from one of the directories, [01:10] Scunizi: hit q [01:10] Scunizi: q [01:11] Pici, too easy.. been trying combo's of ctrl + (lots of stuff) [01:11] hi, i'm interested in pairing with a developer in the acpi-support group to debug my hp's suspend/hibernate/resume issues, with the possibility of learning the trade a bit [01:11] acharis : welll you should try the acpi channel :D [01:11] Bizzare problem. I downloaded the Airbook MOV file and the audio is played back at a high pitch (like chip monks) but in time w/the movie [01:11] emma, bummer. You'd think that this sort of feature would be standard... I'll check out digikam though. thanks. [01:11] #include [01:11] dsnyders, I can't give you a direct answer but I think it would involve using cat and cp .. might check the man pages..

[01:15] dsnyders, just checked the Unix Power Tools book, nothing useful in the index. [01:15] erider: I would use synaptic [01:15] how do you tell which sound card alsa is outputting to if there are multiple cards? [01:15] or apt-get install -f [01:16] jetscreamer: sorry. I have a playback problem w/Movie player. Can you help? [01:16] danbhfive: yeah that is not working [01:16] emmajane, Thanks for checking for me.

[01:16] dsnyders, http://kdiff3.sourceforge.net/doc/dirmergevisible.html [01:16] danbhfive: apt-get install -f is not doing the trick [01:16] jj_: eh, you need to be more precise. alsa is just an api and subsystem. Apps _use_ it, so the apps direct which device is being used. [01:16] every time i load ubuntu i have to mount 2 of my drives before i use them, is there a way i can set them to always mount when login? [01:16] dsnyders, that looks like it might be useful?

[01:17] danbhfive: E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, [01:17] BloodyScum, /etc/fstab [01:17] acharis : well... it seems all kernel related acpi stuff is done by this team now :D [01:18] soldats thanks [01:18] :P [01:18] dsnyders, there was a little backup app that did exactly this over networks (that used rsync) I can't think of the name of it though.... [01:18] joesoundguy: there are many movie players... and not really my forte. i'm more into encoding. xine-ui 'just works' for me [01:18] erider: have you tried removing the offending package, and then apt-get clean, and the trying to install again? [01:18] danbhfive: I don't know how [01:19] crimsun: basically i have an emu10k1 sound card and an onboard one, and i want to disable the onboard... i think it's an intel but I'm trying to determine the exact module name [01:19] emmajane, yeah. rsync will make the dirs the same, but I don't have room for that. [01:19] Flare183, try not to do that as much, if you need to use it direct to whom e\/er you want to reduce the flooding of the channel [01:19] wibou: unlikely...that would make it sound like kernel no longer supports acpi on non-Intel machines [01:19] erider: I would try synaptic [01:19] jj_: cat /proc/asound/modules [01:19] how can I make the shell a root shell? i forget the command [01:19] jj_: what's the output from that command (in a Terminal)? [01:19] jfoh: sudo -i === e is now known as ablabla [01:19] crimsun: got it, thanks :) [01:19] thanks crimson :) [01:19] danbhfive: I have never used that tool [01:20] acharis : I can't say, but it would doubt so...

Is there a way to reboot just the driver? [01:25] sksol: Enter "about:config" no quotes into the address bar. Enter 'backspace' into the search bar and change browser.backspace_action to 0 [01:25] erider: have you opened it at this point? [01:25] Hello. I am trying to use the alternative CD to install. I get as far as setting up my RAID fine, then I go to 'configure encrypted disks', it says I have to write changes to the partition table, I say OK, and then the screen goes funny. At which point I switch to another VT and then back, where it is fine. [01:25] BUT, then it gets to 42% and just hangs. And for a while it seems to be doing something, as the load average goes up, but it never gets to the next stage of the install.

[02:21] I am interested in intercepting network packets via my wireless connection - does anyone have some starting-point reading? I am somewhat familier with Wirelss networking, enough to keep my network online and at least somewhat secure. [02:21] RyanPrior, could restart the X server and see if that helps. [02:22] does anyone have an idea how to install x11 cursor themes and get them to work? [02:22] danbhfive: ok now what [02:22] quit [02:23] erider: not try to install ubuntu-desktop again [02:23] Optimus55, throw the .theme file into /etc/X11/cursors/ [02:24] smatthewpoer: thnx, gona try something [02:24] erider: *now [02:24] Optimus55, also do a man xcursorgen [02:24] matthewpoer: what's that? [02:25] xcursgen is a CLI the generates X Cursors. [02:25] from a directory of images [02:25] does anyone know if there is any program to send a msg to Microsoft messenger (IM) from a command line? [02:25] matthewpoer: no idea what you mean, or what i'm suppsoed to do [02:26] erider: did it work? [02:26] Good evening everyone! [02:26] I was just telling you about a program called xcursorgen, which helps create cursor themes. I thought it might be relevant, because you were asking where cusor themes were stored. [02:27] danbhfive: E: Broken packages its still depends on openoffice.org [02:27] when i modprobe ndiswrapper, and then do ndiswrapper -i mydriver, should the device instantly appear ? [02:27] erider: why isn't openoffice installing? [02:28] Anyone know much about Dual Gigabit and getting it working in this wonderful OS? :) [02:28] danbhfive: it was one of the packages that were removed [02:29] erider: can you install it? [02:29] I hate securom [02:29] danbhfive: and now it will not like me reinstall it without a hold lot of stuff [02:30] erider: well, installing stuff is good at this point i think [02:30] danbhfive: deps crazy [02:30] Can some 1 walk me through making a script to Install multiple packages? [02:30] erider: I would do anything to get ubuntu-desktop installed, otherwise, you will have to reinstall totally [02:30] bobby: finally we cross paths [02:30] How do i get my front/back browser buttons on my mouse to work in Nautilus (they work on firefox) [02:31] My girlfriend is with a problem in ubuntu. I use gentoo, and i can't help anymore (since is a apt-get dead-end in my opinion) [02:31] danbhfive: U trying to install ubuntu but having partion problems? [02:31] I'm new here. I'm having some major issues with Ubuntu, I don't know if it is GRUB or a hard drive failure. [02:31] server /irc.irc-evolution.org [02:31] / server irc.irc-evolution.org [02:32] HARDDAN: /server [02:32] /server irc******* [02:32] Darkmystere no, im trying to help erider [02:32] Hey, I am looking for a Linux gamer to try out a new website for me. [02:32] nickrud: i couldnt get the clone thing to work and i cant even boot into the wubi install because Grub doesnt show it just Ubuntu and linux [02:32] desertc, link [02:32] *Ubuntu and windows [02:32] Anyone? Dual gigabit? [02:32] nickrud: hey.. [02:32] Darkmystere: I don't know a thing about wubi [02:33] nickrud: yes we did... :) [02:33] The problem is, she install cinelerra, but have a lot of problems, and was not installed properly. Since then, the apt-get is crazy and won't install nothing anymore. She tried apt-get install -f , but isn't working too. [02:33] nickrud: i know im on a real partion [02:33] nickrud: how are you? [02:33] nickrud: Just for u lol [02:33] bobby: good, just passing thru again :) [02:34] nickrud: lol :) well.... I got my desktop copied to the hard drive... I'm just worried about the permissions on it...... [02:34] nickrud: How can i do the clone thing if i can only mount the file system? [02:34] Apt-get just try to remove cinelerra, but the files are not installed and it fails too. Cinelerra is not in her HD, so i wondering if apt-get has some hidden feature that can just 'delete' the reference that cinelerra is installed in apt-get ? [02:35] nickrud: i had to change them because they where root... and i didn't know if i would be able to use it if I have to... so I changed them to my bobby... [02:35] bobby: you can set the main stuff with sudo chown you:you /home/ [02:35] Darkmystere: no, you have to use apt live [02:35] huh? [02:36] nickrud: I did on the ext. drive.. that is ok right? [02:36] Darkmystere: there are ways of doing that, but it's not trivial, and much is over my head [02:37] bobby: the external was storage, right? (I'm getting old, and the memory fails ... ) [02:37] nickrud: yes it was... :) [02:37] how do i find out the dev name for my usb stick? [02:37] bobby: so yes that's right :) [02:37] like /dev/whatever === williamwaldrep is now known as ubuntunewbie [02:38] bobby: if the device is mounted, right click it and check it's properties [02:38] Anyone? === ubuntunewbie is now known as verysleepy [02:38] shrug, I formatted my stick and gave it a name. Works out well... [02:39] it says mounted to media/Lexar [02:39] shrug: /dev/sd? [02:39] Hey, can anyone help me determine whether I'm having a GRUB error or a hard drive failure? [02:39] nickrud: well... the device is still root.. but the folder that i had saved it in... is bobby.... === JimmyDee_ is now known as JimmyDee [02:39] anyone know how to change the keyboard shortcuts for desktop effects. i want to edit or remove alt-shift-up but i cant find it under system->pref->keyboard shortcuts === Johnson_ is now known as Johnson [02:39] can you use a wifi card to "take a dump" on the 2.4GHz spectrum? [02:39] im trying to put ubuntu on usb so i can install [02:40] the tut says to run : mkdosfs /dev/sda1 [02:40] bobby: if you chown the mountpoint of the device while the device is mounted, that should be remembered. And, to do all the folders, chown -R [02:40] but sda1 is not correct [02:40] i think [02:40] can i replace with /media/Lexar [02:40] Johnson_: try running ccsm (the compiz-fusion manager, some key-bindings for compiz is there) [02:40] shrug: no [02:40] didnt think so [02:41] Hmm. I dident think chowning the mountpoint would affect anything. [02:41] nickrud: ok.. hold on.. :) [02:41] shrug: unmount the device, then type in a terminal: tail -f /var/log/syslog , that will repeat all the system messages. Plug in the stick, and some messages will come in, one of which will show the device [02:41] ok [02:41] ty [02:41] well chowning the directory you are mounting to BEFOR its mounted.. wont affect anything. [02:43] sdf: sdf1 [02:43] nickrud: ok.. did so!! :) [02:43] so sdf1? [02:43] or sdf [02:43] nickrud: the properties are now bobby not root anymore.. :) [02:43] shrug: depends: sdf would be the disk, and sdf1 would be the partition on the disk. [02:44] ok [02:44] ty [02:44] sudo chown willis.willis /media/windows ----> no affect. [02:44] when using memtest, how many passes does it make? [02:44] Dr_willis: that's an ntfs partition? [02:45] nickrud, actually its using ntfs-3g :) [02:45] but yes it is a ntfs filesystem [02:45] nickrud: you think you have a chance tonight to help me out with my crazy problem that we where working on the other night? if you don't it's ok.... i can wait.. :) ty again! :) [02:45] Dr_willis: you can't change ntfs partition permissions I don't think [02:45] Dr_willis: it's a mount time parameter [02:45] nickrud, i dont think it works for any other fylesystem either.. i just dont have any other to test to prove the point. :) [02:45] bobby: remind me of the issue [02:46] Dr_willis: I'll mess with my i386 partition [02:46] anyone have dell sc440 ? [02:46] if you chown a ext3 filesyste.. well ext3 has its own permissions and ownerships In the filesystem.. so i dont think chown will override all of them [02:46] nickrud: I can't get my printer to work and have a hplip and cups problem.... [02:46] just installed ubuntu, but not only did ubuntu not run on restart, the partition shows empty on windows OS [02:46] bobby: oh, printers. I am so brain dead on printers ... [02:46] it will run with cd but not from hd [02:46] i want to burn backup dvds without creating a new session every time (multisession), how can i do this? is that what UDF does?? [02:47] didnt seem as though ubuntu was installed on hd, only works with cd in drive [02:47] um no one knows how many passes memtest makes? [02:48] nickrud: well... you had me go into bash and type something in...... and make sure all the red on the bottom was gone.. i wish i remembered what the command line was... [02:48] :\ [02:48] it seemed to have detected my hardware correct, but why it not installed on HD? [02:48] Dr_willis: ok, I had /i386 in as root:root. Mounted a partition there, it was root:root . chowned to rich:rich. unmounted, /i386 was root:root. Mounted again, it was rich:rich [02:49] olddude67: You can stop after the first one if you like. It never stops unless you stop it though. [02:49] where do you get vmlinux [02:49] where do you get vmlinuz [02:49] bobby: oh, crap, I remember. I forgot it was you, I've been thinking about that. [02:49] Fenyx thank you i was begining to wonder. [02:49] shrug that is the tar.gz that is installed when you install a linux kernel [02:49] I left mine running for 36 hours before I figured it out. ;) [02:49] gn :l [02:49] i did everything the install told me to do, but it wont load on reboot, nor does it show on HD as installed [02:49] nickrud: :D thanx... i am really glad you remembered!! :) [02:50] bobby: we stopped because you didn't have a console that worked [02:50] nickrud: yes that is correct... [02:50] for some reason i canot enable desktop effects, I am running dual screen xinerama with a nvidia 8600 and the nvidia drivers ubuntu 7.10 [02:50] Anyone know much about Dual Gigabit and getting it working in Ubuntu? [02:50] bobby: and I was worried that I would leave you with a broken system if for any reason you lost X while we were working, and couldn't repair it from the console [02:50] nickrud: yes... [02:50] ow do you tell the difference between the Live version and Regular version ? i downloaded it from the site [02:51] nickrud: that is why i had to transfer all my files to that drive.. [02:51] i see something about burning it at certain speeds, that seems quite odd, if you ask me [02:51] bobby: so I suggested you find a disk to backup, right? (or was that someone else with a similar problem) [02:51] nickrud: yes... [02:51] e ai rafael blz [02:52] bobby: and you did? [02:52] seems to be ubunutu still relies on windows general gui setup, not likeing that really. [02:52] nickrud: yes i have... i now don't know how to do what we where going to do... [02:52] why doesnt it start without cd in cdrom ? [02:53] Hi all, I just setup postfix to relay mail to gmail (following http://souptonuts.sourceforge.net/postfix_tutorial.html). I'm having a problem with mail to root now, it doesn't seem to get routed to my user account first and then over to gmail. I have the correct mapping in /etc/aliases and /etc/aliases.db. Any ideas? [02:53] hi all, i am connected to my ubuntu desktop via ssh, i was wondering if there is a way to run "setup" again see it is a harddrive that came out of another computer, and everything seems to work ok except for the video any dieas [02:53] its pretty much a waste of disk space if you have to use cdrom to run the dumb thing, and its super slow [02:53] bobby: ok, what you should do is do a reinstall, and then move your files back into your home. Simplest way to fix that cups issue. You can get a record of your installed packages and then reinstall them easily with the close command, see following: [02:53] !clone | bobby [02:53] nickrud: Error: "clone" is not a valid command. [02:53] bobby: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate [02:54] Phoozer: ? [02:54] nickrud: Error: "?" is not a valid command. [02:54] !ops [02:54] nickrud: Error: "ops" is not a valid command. [02:54] you still havent answered why it didnt seem to install on HD< instead only works from CDROM [02:54] Help! Channel emergency!

[02:55] that makes no sense, it does all the partition stuff, and goes through, seemingly installed, then when i remove cdrom, it wont start at all, and the HD still shows as unpartitioned (free space) [02:55] i need to register a configuration tool for metacity [02:55] and im getting very irritated [02:56] it will soon end up in the trash pile, i see why i never wanted to install the dumb thing [02:56] nickrud: before you had me goto that one command line to get rid of all the errors i had in my install... so i copied my files to my drive.. now if i do it this way... and do the clone thing... do i need more disk space on this ext. drive? [02:56] hi all. someone here who knows a good book or site of how to create a own homepage / forum? [02:56] whats this about burning at certain speeds, that seemed to be most odd? [02:57] nickrud: sorry.. i'm just confusied... thats all... [02:57] :) [02:57] bobby: rather than purge most of the packages on your system, then reinstall them -- with no absolute certainty that it will fix your problem -- it seems wiser to reinstall. No, you will reinstall over the top of your current ubuntu. The external was a way to save your data during the reinstall [02:57] it shows no errors, it shuts down like i believe it should, but when no cdrom in drive, it wont run ubuntu. [02:58] misslecommand, is this a dual-boot with another OS, or is only Ubuntu installed? [02:58] geez, this is worse than windows 95 [02:58] o [02:58] o [02:58] okokokokokokokokokoko [02:58] okokokokoko [02:58] when i boot, it says bug #(something) detected. how do read the log? [02:58] oklimo, stop [02:58] nickrud: ok.. got it... now the clone part of it... how much space will i need on my external drive? [02:58] nickrud: or does that just save my settings? [02:58] just a second MadPilot [02:58] For my oing , it very good night is [02:58] o [02:58] erider : hows it going? [02:58] o [02:58] o [02:58] o [02:59] hey is it possible for your graphics card to reject the intallation of of ubuntu [02:59] bobby: it saves your settings, and will reinstall from the net. No more space needed on the external [02:59] nickrud: ok.. right on... thank you soooo much!! i'm going to do this in a bit.... you are a life saver!!! :) [03:00] nickrud can u help me [03:00] bobby: I'll be near the computer for a couple hours, I get a lovely drum roll whenever someone says my name :) [03:00] nickrud: ok... thank you!! :) [03:00] can anyone help me [03:01] Gekkomon_Shogun: the install can err when it tries to set up your graphics card, yes. That's why the alternate install disk is made (from my perspective anyway) [03:01] i tried the text base [03:01] same thing [03:01] Gekkomon_Shogun: did it come up at all, the text installer? [03:01] the monitor shuts off right when i hit start [03:02] yea [03:02] Gekkomon_Shogun: wow. [03:02] what [03:02] Gekkomon_Shogun: that was a statement of extreme suprise [03:02] hi all. someone here who knows a good book or site of how to create a own homepage / forum? [03:02] ? [03:02] sounds liek a usplash problem [03:02] !offtopic | Abyssal [03:02] Abyssal: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [03:03] hi! my netgear wireless card is not being shown in system>network, although ndiswrapper drivers are installed and lspci command also shows that a wireless card is present [03:03] so what should i do now [03:03] Gekkomon_Shogun: I'm really suprised that it just shuts off like that. Have you tried acpi=off in the f6 screen? (And I'll tell you right now, I am not an installer expert, I do maybe one install a year) [03:04] is thier a special command code to make it use my monter through my Gcard [03:04] phoozer is back [03:04] Gekkomon_Shogun: you have an onboard video and a video card? [03:04] danbhfive: thanks [03:04] yea [03:04] 8600 gt [03:04] Gekkomon_Shogun: go into your bios, and disable the onboard video [03:04] how do i force a delete of a directory? [03:04] i dont think i can [03:04] danbhfive: will have a freenode staff member deal with it. [03:05] !test [03:05] Failed. [03:05] Pici: cool [03:05] Gekkomon_Shogun: I bet the installer is trying to use the onboard video, and that's why you lose your signal [03:05] wait [03:05] o no i dont [03:05] i custom built this [03:05] i just was stupid thier for a sec [03:06] does the motherboard matter [03:06] any suggestions on why I'd have a significant amount of memory in use? I'm running 7.10, with 512MB of RAM and System Monitor shows 87% in use by programs, 12% cache...and things are sloooooowwww. [03:06] has anyone here gotten GH3 to work in linux? [03:07] Gekkomon_Shogun: then I don't really have a clue, I don't know what option would fix that. And the motherboard might, some newer ones might not have good support. I just don't know [03:07] anyone who would [03:08] or a support irc [03:08] live cds don't check for package upgrades right? [03:08] no one here has gotten GH3 to work in linux? [03:08] (as in you shouldn't get a message about there being updates to Ubuntu) [03:08] QQ' [03:08] for some reason i canot enable desktop effects, I am running dual screen xinerama with a nvidia 8600 and the nvidia drivers ubuntu 7.10 [03:09] greg-g, actually, they will check. Just ignore it. [03:09] eubey [03:09] Madpilot: I was just double checking because there was a bug report about the livecd asking to be restarted to apply updates :) [03:09] Gekkomon_Shogun, [03:09] did u ever have a vid problem when installing [03:09] Gekkomon_Shogun, no, it worked fine [03:10] like monters shuting off [03:10] or something [03:10] greg-g, heh. Never run into that, but yes, it'll check for updates. The 'restart now' thing could stand to be disabled on LiveCD, though... [03:10] What is the most responsive Ubuntu forum? [03:10] any suggestions on why I'd have a significant amount of memory in use? I'm running 7.10, with 512MB of RAM and System Monitor shows 87% in use by programs, 12% cache...and things are incredibly slow. Largest consumer of memory, per System monitor: nautilus, at 10.4MB. If I add all memory taken up as show by SM, it comes to to less than 50MB. Ideas anybody? [03:10] Gekkomon_Shogun, not that i know of, i installed nvidia drivers then set up my dual monitors without much problem [03:10] Madpilot: I agree, I'll check for dupes (this _has_ to have been an issue before) [03:10] so it may not be my Gcard messing it up [03:10] Grammaticus: ubuntuforums.org [03:10] When I try to open OpenOffice.org Word Processor, this screen comes up for a split second then closes. How can I fix it? >> http://img209.imageshack.us/img209/2064/screenshothc9.png [03:11] greg-g: what's the output of "free" [03:11] Hey what is Kernal Panic [03:11] gnurph69: ^^ [03:11] erawfish: -> gnurph69 [03:11] greg-g, thank you. [03:11] greg-g: a bluescreen [03:11] Gekkomon_Shogun: When the kernel panics. What's up? [03:11] i just upgraded from 7.04 to 7.10 and since then my ubuntu has freezed up on me twice [03:11] Gekkomon_Shogun: The only other thing I can think of, is you don't have a good cd burn. But if you can't get the kernel to boot to run the disk check, I don't know ... You could try doing a burn with some windows software that will verify the bit for bit validity of it's burn. I don't use windows enough to know a burner app that does that though [03:11] Bspec: Are there any updates? [03:11] erawfish: type more than one letter before hitting tab! ;) [03:11] Do you guys run vmware with Ubuntu [03:12] i use nero [03:12] with windows up at the same time? [03:12] lol frets on fire can use the GH3 controller? [03:12] thats funny [03:12] SpeakerMania, that's what i just upgraded from, usign the updates, i did this yesterday [03:12] greg-g: It's late, I'm lazy [03:12] and i have a dulelare burner [03:12] so === RB2_ is now known as RB2 [03:12] frets on fire it is [03:12] Do you guys use vmware?

What kind of system are you running? [03:14] eubey what kind of motherboard [03:14] s [03:14] Does anybody know how to get compiz running with fglrx? [03:14] nvm [03:14] SpeakerMania, and right know there's a process "trackerd" using up 95% of my cpu since i crashed [03:14] Anyone know much about Dual Gigabit and getting it working in Ubuntu? === ubuntu is now known as NewEra [03:15] Peaceful: run fglrxinfo , make sure you are using ati drivers (not mesa) , then install xserver-xgl , log out and back in [03:15] Hey guys does grome has any good skins>? [03:15] Bspec: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tracker/+bug/130817 [03:15] erawfish: any thoughts?

[03:15] I've recently installed XGL and Compiz on my Laptop along with Ubuntu. Everything works great until I try to resize a window, then everything becomes so slow that I have to restart the session to do anything productively again. Has anybody experianced this issue, or know how to fix it? [03:15] Thanks [03:15] SpeakerMania, an Athlon64 3000+ with an nVidia GeForce 6800GS [03:15] lmao [03:16] Peaceful: off [03:16] SpeakerMania, using the binary drivers [03:16] * Tails waves Bspec [03:16] hello Tails [03:16] Gekkomon_Shogun: look into isorecorder freeware to burn iso's.. burn very slow I have had some trouble with nero in the past. [03:16] nickrud, I'll try it. But Ubuntu keeps telling me I need it on for effects to work. *sighs* [03:16] Bspec: okay just turn off your computer and then turn it back on. Log in and let it sit. Tracker is the indexing tool for the search function. It should settle down after its first run. [03:16] Gekkomon_Shogun, https://secure.newegg.com/NewVersion/Wishlist/PublicWishDetail.asp?WishListNumber=4940574&WishListTitle=New+Computer is my copmuter [03:17] Bspec: What size is your hard drive? [03:17] Sorry, didnt realize I was in a time warp and way behind [03:17] any people good with gettin a broadcom wireless working? [03:17] mmm Can anyone help me out :P [03:17] Peaceful: my standard technique: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -pcritical xserver-xorg , log out and back in. enable restricted drivers, reboot. Check fglrxinfo. install xserver-xgl . log out and back in. [03:17] SpeakerMania, i have two, one 70GB and one 120GB(which is what ubuntu is on) [03:17] mhall.. Use NDiswrapper, or if you are using Gutsy the restricted drivers might work [03:18] jack sparrow u saying i should run at 8xinstead of 16 [03:18] how would i see what xorg version i have? [03:18] mhall: bcm43 work easy.. bcm943.. not so much from what I know === kyle_ is now known as Sol [03:18] Peaceful: that all assumes that the xserver-xorg reconfig leaves me with good screen res [03:18] nickrud, thanks for your help. I'll try that. [03:18] i tried ndiswrapper, but when i didnt -l i only said driver installed and not that hardware is present [03:18] someone have to installed mplab 8 by microchip on ubuntu 7.1 and it would be succefull [03:18] Gekkomon_Shogun: On some of my Dells and one HP they checked out fine but would not run without burning at slowest speed. [03:18] Bspec: Okay. Yeah, just let it sit. If it doesn't settle down then you'll want to diable it. It is still in Alpha stage apparently. [03:18] Peaceful: and not 2xxx chips, I've seen some people have issues there [03:18] question plz! [03:18] lol i dont use dells or hps [03:19] i built this [03:19] how do i install something from a tar.gz? === ubuntu is now known as NewEra1 [03:19] Does anybody know why when I resize windows with Compiz running, everything becomes ridiculously slow? [03:19] Sol, tar.gz is a gzipped tape archive, it is like asking, how do I install something from a .rar [03:19] Bspec: No, nevermind. It is stable now, but it might be an alpha version you have right now. [03:19] if u want i can give u the full specs [03:19] I'm trying to install ubuntu 6.06 on my G4 laptop, but I can't get it to boot from the cd - help? [03:19] ah. gotcha. [03:20] jpiccolo_, xorg is not a version but a file ... mostly [03:20] SpeakerMania, trackerd has been using my cpu since i rebooted, which is now 16 minutes [03:20] Gekkomon_Shogun: Go ahead and pastebin if you want and I will look them over [03:20] ok so how do i extract it? i installed bitchx using apt-get but as far as i can figure, it's run through the terminal [03:20] ManicMechE, why don't install 7.1 ? [03:20] does it run on ppc? [03:20] erawfish: still there? [03:20] ManicMechE: Mac PPC? [03:20] ManicMechE, it already has support for almost all machines [03:20] Bspec: Let it sit. ;) It will take a little bit. It is indexing your hard drive. [03:21] i downloaded the tar file hoping it has a GUI interface. [03:21] !ppc [03:21] PowerPC. Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ [03:21] SpeakerMania, but what about the freezing up? [03:21] ok so how do i extract it? i installed bitchx using apt-get but as far as i can figure, it's run through the terminal [03:21] Bspec: If you let it sit there is no reaosn for it to freeze. [03:21] SpeakerMania, i dont want that to happen again [03:21] Note to PowerPC (PPC) users: The PowerPC platform of computers is not supported by the newest versions of Ubuntu.

[03:22] Jack_Sparrow: When you want to direct a message like that, use the "pipe: sign >> | [03:23] SpeakerMania, i was under the impression that the trackerd was a seperate issue from my freezing up (i think you said it might be compiz?) [03:23] Bspec: Your system specs will run Compiz just fine. [03:23] okay, back to ground zero. I'll try again from the beginning... :) [03:23] any suggestions on why I'd have a significant amount of memory in use? I'm running 7.10, with 512MB of RAM and System Monitor shows 87% in use by programs, 12% cache...and things are incredibly slow. Largest consumer of memory, per System monitor: nautilus, at 10.4MB. If I add all memory taken up as show by SM, it comes to to less than 50MB. Ideas anybody? [03:24] SpeakerMania, i know that.. but the freezing, i dont want it to freeze again [03:24] SpeakerMania: Got it covered... I know about both [03:24] does anyone know about how long it will take to complete "apt-get install ubnuntu-desktop" and what all that that will configure? [03:24] this wasnt happening untill i upgraded to 7.10, yesterday [03:24] Bspec: that is why if you let it sit, as I've been telling you, it won't. You want trackerd to finish up. [03:24] in any case, neither 7.1 nor 6.06 cds will boot on my computer [03:24] hey [03:25] anyone know where to get phone unlock codes [03:25] channel? [03:25] SpeakerMania, so the freezing is due to trackerd not finishing it's indexing? [03:25] server? === w4ett-away is now known as w4ett [03:25] jack anywhre less croweded we can talk [03:25] Bspec: Yes. It is eating up your system resources indexing your hard drive.

[03:26] ArsHermetica: Are you using a dell laptop? [03:26] I am indeed. Inspiron 1501. Ubuntu Gutsy [03:27] Gekkomon_Shogun: I only stopped in for a minute..... Others here can help [03:27] Jack_Sparrow: tag [03:27] but u helped most [03:27] lol [03:27] ArsHermetica: Alrighty. Next to the left "Control" key (Ctrl) there is a button that says Fn, yes? [03:27] SpeakerMania, i think we're at a misunderstanding. there's nothing frozen right now. despite it using 95% of my cpu. what i meant by freezing was that ubuntu would freeze, as in the screen would freeze, the keyboard would not respond, the mouse would not respond, all programs would just freeze. [03:28] Gekkomon_Shogun: What else did you need.. I have a couple short minutes [03:28] Yes, there is a function key [03:28] Bspec: Randomly? [03:28] nickrud: Hey buddy... busy day for me.. hope you were not overwhelmed [03:28] what i shoud do because i dont think i have any more blanks [03:28] Jack_Sparrow: nah, I've been busy also. [03:28] ArsHermetica: Hold that down while adjusting the brightness via the Up and Down arrow keys [03:28] what is a good GUI IRC client? it feels weird using bitchx through the terminal [03:29] I have tried that to no avail [03:29] * ArsHermetica chuckles. Was the first thing I tried [03:29] Sol xchat or pidgin [03:29] Gekkomon_Shogun: Have you tried F6 at the first menu and all of the regular boot line options? [03:29] SpeakerMania, i'd compare it to the BSOD of windows, where your only option is to unplug your computer. yes randomly. [03:29] Sol: xchat is popular, some people like konversation in kde [03:29] Any one familiar with the ubuntu studio project? [03:29] ArsHermetica: Well that complicates things. One moment, please. [03:29] I'm trying to install ubuntu on my G4 laptop, but I can't get it to boot from the install cd - help? [03:29] name all of them and i will see [03:29] th0r: thanks, plus bitchx doesn't highlight the conversation when someone says your name. [03:29] Bspec: One moment, please. [03:29] Bspec: so try running without compiz for a while, see if it still happens [03:29] Gekkomon_Shogun: nolapic acpi=off pci=assign-busses pci=irqpoll pci=biosirq pnpbios=off noapic [03:30] SpeakerMania: No worries, thak you very much [03:30] ManicMechE: yeah Ive done a couple of these [03:30] Gekkomon_Shogun: I dont know all of them.. here are the ones I use regularly [03:30] not all of those [03:30] Sol xchat has more features, but I prefer pidgin since I can create two windows and monitor two channels at the same time [03:30] th0r: you can do that with xchat as well ... [03:30] th0r, if you like that try irssi [03:30] ManicMechE: I think after rebooting you'll need to hold down ctrl-c [03:30] Gekkomon_Shogun: noapic I use the most.. if it boots to desktop but sees no hard drive I use different ones [03:31] irssi is my favorite, but it took quite a bit of configuring before I really liked it [03:31] how would i know what rc level i am running in? [03:31] nickrud I can I think run two instances of Xchat, is that what you mean? I couldn't find a way around those damn tabs [03:31] jpiccolo_: 2 [03:31] jpiccolo_: 2 [03:31] ? [03:31] ArsHermetica: For Dell laptops there should be a brightness and contrast option in the BIOS. I'll boot mine up and see. I know of no setting or control for that in Ubuntu, as in Windows there is no control either. [03:31] th0r: right click the tab, select detach tab [03:31] nickrud see....learn something new every day [03:31] Bspec: So it just freezes whenever it wants to? [03:31] nickrud thanks [03:32] th0r: it's it great :) [03:32] ManicMechE: and depending on the install it may in fact take a bit after you see a white screen to see the desktop..and it will appear to run slowly...however once you do the install it responds fine [03:32] SpeakerMania: Thank you. I sure hope there is a fix for it as my screen is rather dull [03:32] hrm, anyone have a eeepc? [03:32] ManicMechE: Also I had issues with 7.10 and had to revert back to Dapper [03:32] SpeakerMania, everything would be totally fine and normal, and then suddenly it's all frozen. nothing responds. system is just dead. [03:32] lets play a game. fill in the blank. fedora uses anaconda. ubuntu uses ________ [03:33] k back with xchat [03:33] donkdonk: What is anaconda.. what does it do.. [03:33] achandrashekar: typically one holds down just C to boot from cd, but that doees not work. I also tried holding option, which allows you to select your boot disk, but that did not work either. I even tried cmd-opt-shift-delete which is supposed to force to boot from the cd drive even if the disk doesn't appear bootable, but that does not work either. it all just boots it to the osx login screen. [03:33] donkdonk: ubiquity I believe [03:33] Jack_Sparrow: anaconda does the hardware detection / installation [03:33] ArsHermetica: Yes. Hit F2 repeatedly upon boot. Scroll through the pages. There is indeed a setting. [03:34] hi, i have the wierdest wireless problem right now. wicd shows me as conected to a network and thus the internet but apparantly i cannot go on the internet though firefox or pinging through terminal. I am chatting on my laptop btw. the problem is on my desktop. === Jannitax is now known as Jannita [03:34] Bspec, that is a bit abnormal... Have you tried closing compiz? I have had several system freeze-ups from Compiz [03:34] SpeakerMania: Thank you so so so much, lol. Much obliged [03:34] donkdonk: ubiquity is the livecd-based installer [03:34] i restated the interface and tried reconnecting but it still doesnt work [03:34] ArsHermetica: No problem. [03:34] :) [03:35] crdlb and nickrud thanks a ton [03:35] * ArsHermetica tosses SpeakerMania a batch of cookies and vanishes [03:35] nickrud nope...I am using suse linux on this laptop, and xchat has a 'tree' window on the left with both suse and ubuntu channels in it, but I can't see a way to separate the windows [03:35] :) [03:35] ManicMechE: yeah..I hear you with those gosh darn combination to get it to boot keys. At one point or another I remember CTRL-C.... [03:35] SpeakerMania, i could try going on without compiz for a while [03:35] anybody know why it would show me as connected to router and still not being able to go on internet? [03:35] donkdonk: reading ubiquity description it's a front end to debian-installer, which used discover last I actually looked was a _long_ time ago [03:35] anyone have experience with eclipse? i get this error when i try to start: no java virtual machine was found... etc location: /usr/lib/j2sdk1.4-sun/bin/java [03:36] alright, question now, i try to access a NTFS formatted drive [03:36] i know i have java installed, and frostwire even works [03:36] Bspec, It wouldn't surprise me if that was the problem. [03:36] i get an error saying that it wasn't a clean shut down [03:36] ManicMechE: you will then get a bootloader prompt and then go from there... [03:36] th0r_: settings->channel switcher, you can change to tabs [03:36] ManicMechE: you should then see the "white screen of life"...lol [03:37] will trying to force the drive to mount cause data loss? [03:37] th0r_: settings->prefs->channel switcher, you can change to tabs [03:37] anyone has a workaround why sometimes sound stops working and needs reboot? i think it has to do with firefox/flash [03:37] alright, question now, i try to access a NTFS formatted drive [03:37] hmm whats the default commandline mail program in ubuntu?

[03:46] mhall: come to #gentoo-texas [03:46] ubotu, md5sum | achandrashekar [03:46] achandrashekar: To verify the integrity of a download, use the md5sum - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM for more [03:46] how do i login as root!! [03:46] SpeakerMania, trackerd is still using up my cpu [03:46] Madpilot: is that also gonna tell me if the media is bootable or..?? [03:46] !sudo [03:46] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information. [03:46] Sol, you don't [03:47] Sol: ubuntu is stupid and wount let you [03:47] AH [03:47] Sol: sudo -s [03:47] donkdonk: Please behave [03:47] ok wonderful thank you, i didn't know that's waht sudo did [03:47] you can sudo bash [03:47] donkdonk, no, Ubuntu has a more intelligent security model, and won't let you. [03:47] !gksudo [03:47] If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [03:47] i just knew it was useful as crap ;D [03:47] Sol: sudo -i gives you a very nice root terminal [03:47] uhmmm...ubuntu is not stupid... sudo su will do the job my friend [03:47] Sol: but you don't need it but maybe a couple times a year [03:48] E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) [03:48] nickrud: i need to log in as root so that i can force mount an NTFS drive, couldn't figure out out to do it, but i had no idea what sudo actually was hahah [03:48] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? [03:48] achandrashekar, assuming the md5 checks out, and you burn the ISO properly, it should boot [03:48] What would people recommend for a motherboard chipset (amd processor), nvidia, via, etc? [03:48] xLE: Close your other package manager [03:48] anyone know how to install gnome on server 7.10? [03:48] Jack_Sparrow, i only have XChat and a terminal open, thats it.. no package manager [03:48] i used Nero 7 to burn the downloaded ISO, it worked for me, doing so. [03:49] xLE: ps -A | grep dpkg , do you see it running? [03:49] no [03:49] it returns nothing [03:50] THANK YOU ALL SUPER CRAPLOADS ALOT [03:50] !noroot [03:50] We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-) [03:50] nickrud xchat is SO much better...thanks [03:50] hello, is there anyway I can sync my iPhone with Amarok? [03:50] i got access to my NTFS folder, therefore my FILES ARE MINE!!! [03:50] Sol: sudo su [03:50] Sol: that will effectively make you root [03:50] !attitude > Sol [03:51] attitude? [03:51] achandrashekar: yes, it does appear to be bootable [03:51] i'm being thankful for an extremely helpful community. [03:51] nickrud, it returns nothing [03:51] achandrashekar: if you're gonna suggest something like that, suggest sudo -i [03:51] Jack_Sparrow: He wasn't yelling at people ;) [03:51] No one? [03:51] Sol: The language could be intrepeted both ways [03:51] xLE: then a hack would be removing /var/lib/dpkg/lock [03:52] Jack_Sparrow: Not in context, it wouldn't be :P But alrighty [03:52] nickrud: I suppose you are correct. I was attempting to figure out a way with sudo to effectively make him root. ;) [03:52] a hack? [03:52] jack_sparrow: yeah, good call, my bad, i'll tone it down haha sorry [03:52] No one takes anything in context anymore anyway. [03:52] np [03:52] xLE: a way that works, but is not elegant [03:53] hey guys can someone tell me how to install gnome on server 7.10? [03:53] ManicMechE: id say a little hunting on the internet...there are so many of those different combos.. so are you rebooting the box, and immediately after you hear the apple "dong" holding down ctrl-c or whatever?? [03:53] CrAzY-181, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [03:53] !find gnome [03:53] Found: abiword-gnome, abiword-plugins-gnome, bluez-gnome, dia-gnome, gksu (and 636 others) [03:53] im trying to connect to another computer using vnc [03:53] achandrashekar: yeah, the main reason I suggest sudo (ubuntu has it's own) is it makes it *much* harder for someone who's not used to having root terminals open accidentally type the wrong thing in the wrong terminal [03:53] CrAzY-181: IF you want the full Ubuntu system, it's ubuntu-desktop. Otherwise, just install "gnome-base" [03:53] MasterShreck: i tried that i just get cant find package [03:54] !find gnome-base [03:54] Package/file gnome-base does not exist in gutsy [03:54] !find ubuntu-desktop [03:54] the computer i want to conect to when i set up remote desktop says to enter vncviewer ubuntulamp:0 [03:54] Found: edubuntu-desktop, edubuntu-desktop-kde, kubuntu-desktop, ubuntu-desktop, xubuntu-desktop [03:54] nickrud: Damn...expected him to learn like I do...blow stuff up.. :) [03:54] i do but it keeps timing out [03:54] !info ubuntu-desktop [03:54] ubuntu-desktop: The Ubuntu desktop system. In component main, is optional. Version 1.79 (gutsy), package size 22 kB, installed size 48 kB [03:54] what could be the problem [03:54] Hi there, I've been looking around at laptops and I'm hoping to find a cheap option that is perfect for Ubuntu.. wondering if anyone is using a laptop with Ubuntu and if they could suggest one I should look at. [03:55] viator, is there a firewall or router between the two machines? [03:55] viator: what happens when you ping ubuntulamp [03:55] achandrashekar: lol, I've done that, and it was right before I needed to do some serious work. Did not look good to the boss, no [03:55] CrAzY-181: you can install just gnome and not the entire ubuntu-desktop [03:55] could not find package!! [03:55] i connected to the lamp i have joomla in it and apache [03:55] i can connect to it by typing the ip address [03:55] that worked [03:55] CrAzY-181: You would need to enable the other repos [03:55] Dezine: heard acer was pretty good. im using a vaio vgn-n365e with no issues now...with SMP support for core duo. [03:56] but let me ping it for fun [03:56] lol [03:56] yes theres a router [03:56] Jack_Sparrow:ok how do ii do that? [03:56] viator: darn you beat me to the answer... [03:56] Dezine, people run ubuntu on all kidns of different laptops, its probably better if you narrowed it down a bit and tried to find if your choices have any problems with ubuntu [03:56] nickrud: ahhh..the price of "learning"...the hard way... [03:56] viator, then use the ip address instead of hostname, if you really want to use the hostname, edit your /etc/hosts file [03:56] good point [03:56] CrAzY-181: /etc/apt/sources.list use your favorite editor [03:56] vim is my favorite editor now [03:56] It'll just be a internet/blogging laptop so I could go for a cheap option [03:57] good to hear biouser :) [03:57] achandrashekar: no, I'd been using linux for over four years. Just lost track of the terminal ... [03:57] Hey all... anyone know where the hostnames for "Local Address" in netstat get resolved from? [03:57] Jack_Sparrow: imm new to server what editors are installed? [03:57] hit insert to edit 'esc' :w to write, 'esc' :q to leave [03:57] Dezine: one of the annoying things to do is making damn sure you have native support for wireless... it sucks to use ndiswrapper or something [03:57] Dezine, dells generally work pretty well [03:57] hm [03:57] I had a dell for while, things worked well [03:57] heh ......presses button >that was easy! [03:57] wifi isnt as big of a problem as it used to be [03:57] Kinda old, we're talking three years or so. [03:58] CrAzY-181: I would assume nano... [03:58] How to install Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars 1.4 in ubuntu 7.10 [03:58] Dezine: Id check for support of wireless chipset [03:58] but its not extremely simple either [03:58] !editors [03:58] Text Editors: gedit (GNOME), Kate (KDE), mousepad (Xfce4) | Terminal-based editors: vi/vim, emacs, and nano (user-friendly). | HTML/CSS editors: !html | Programming: !code [03:58] awmcclain: /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts [03:58] Dezine: but for the most part im really happy with my vaio [03:58] !code > nickrud [03:58] nickrud: ty! [03:58] achandrashekar: I think there may just be a problem with my cd drive? it's being very stubborn about booting from any CD, I can only boot from the Leopard disc by holding option and selecting it. [03:58] it will be your hosts file or dns depending on your nsswitch.conf file [03:58] hmm i just installed swat -- what do i have to do to get it working? [03:58] i cant even find it [03:59] !swat [03:59] Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [03:59] ManicMechE: you could do this..maybe? - plug in another drive to the ide, supply power, boot, and then try...once installed...uninstall the new drive?? [03:59] hmm [03:59] It's that or a used mac, just not interesting in a Windows laptop. [03:59] Dezine: I've been very happy with my $600us gateway mt64xx [04:00] Dezine: ati graphics though. Don't expect blazing 3d [04:00] hm [04:00] nickrud: yep they work well.. it has the bcm43xx card right?? [04:00] fotoflo: go to terminal and type swat... see what happens [04:00] Yeah, I would like to be able to use compiz. [04:00] nickrud: the mx7118 was my old laptop :) [04:00] achandrashekar: yeah, and all the keys work!! [04:00] does "apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" pretty much reinstall ubuntu, [04:00] anyone had any experience with gutsy and vservers? [04:00] Dezine: running compiz and vmware workstation for linux simultaneously..all flawless. [04:00] All it will be for is blogging, surfing the web and a little GIMP. [04:01] mikeylikesit5805: no, it doesn't. It only installs the stuff in it's list if the stuff is missing from your system [04:01] Of course videos and such, no gaming and such. [04:01] achandrashekar: unfortunately I don't have a spare lying around that might fit. trying an external drive... [04:01] and such lol [04:01] nickrud i need to reinstall my video card what do i have to do to do that [04:01] !wireless [04:01] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [04:01] Jack_Sparrow: nothing happens [04:02] mikeylikesit5805: what video card? [04:02] fotoflo: Does synaptic show it was installed? [04:02] ManicMechE: oh cool..so that is off of USB..what combo keys do you use for that..or does the system just know to boot off that..?? [04:02] What about the macbooks? They run Ubuntu well, or at all? [04:02] Is it possible i use my installed ubuntu on desktop hard drive and boot it in a laptop? [04:02] dezine: powerpc...yep...no issues [04:03] Jack_Sparrow: no synaptic [04:03] dezine: or is that powerbook...i cant keep up anymore [04:03] sorry, let me explain, i have a laptop that had no cd rom, a working network (now) but what i had to to do to get xubuntu on it was to install in on a another laptop they switch hardrives and now the video card is not right any ideas [04:03] Well macbook has an intel chip so as long as the hardware is compatible I'd imagine that it works. [04:03] powerbook had the ppc [04:03] x wont start rather and the font is huge [04:03] Dezine: there you go [04:03] Jack_Sparrow apt-get says its installed though [04:04] Dezine: HOWEVER....i heard that flash support sucks still [04:04] hiya, I was wondering if this was possible or not.. i want to do a quick upgrade on a PC that is not currently running ubuntu. The only thing is that I can't access the computer until I go to the site. I was hoping to install it to a hard drive via another computer (different specs and all) and just swap hard drives.. possible? or would there be major hardware conflicts? [04:04] Dezine: if you dont care about flash..then go for it [04:04] mikeylikesit5805: ah, it should be a simple fix to get started, anyway. In the console, run sudo dpkg-reconfigure -pcritical xserver-xorg && sudo invoke-rc.d gdm start , you should get X up and running with that [04:04] Jack_Sparrow: when i run swat it looks like something is running, but nothing happens [04:04] I'm sure I have my options, I'm sure I'll get the best one I can find at the cheapest price, not much money to throw around. [04:05] yanger: that would have major problems. /dev/ would be all messed up [04:05] Jack_Sparrow: where does it install to? [04:05] ne who thanks for the chat [04:05] fotoflo: You might want to read up on swat.... [04:05] nickrud: thanks, i am currently on the last little bit of reinstalling (ubuntu-desktop) so when that is finished i will try that thanks alot, i will let you know [04:05] donkdonk so the only way is to go there and do a install and update via the net? there must be an easier way... [04:05] mikeylikesit5805: ok [04:05] yanger: no cdrom ?? [04:06] achandrashekar there is, just slow online update and i didn't want to spend hours there doing install and update [04:06] Is it possible i use my installed ubuntu on desktop hard drive and boot it in a laptop? Is it even possible [04:06] yanger: that works many times, ubuntu dynamically determines the hardware during startup. The only issue you're certain to have is X [04:07] nickrud hmm.. maybe i could do a slim install and install x later? [04:07] just install the mini.iso? remotely access and install the rest? [04:07] yanger: on the other machine, sudo dpkg-reconfigure -pcritical xserver-xorg will create a new xorg.conf based on the hardware in that machine. [04:07] achandrashekar: it's an 1eee 1394 drive. same key combos apply, but I'm still unable to boot from the install cd. [04:08] ieee [04:08] yanger: or be bold..and build yourself a pxe boot server of some sort...get a switch..and install?? [04:08] ManicMechE: maybe reburn that CD?? [04:08] achandrashekar wouldn't be possible.. [04:08] yanger: hmmmm...interesting problem. though. [04:08] achandrashekar the other pc is about 120 miles away :| [04:09] ahh...lol [04:09] pxe over internet i dunno.. [04:09] yanger: yeah...here is one ive been pondering - http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_pxe_install_server [04:09] hmm swat seems pretty useless [04:10] got it running though [04:10] so sudo dpkg-reconfigure -pcritical xserver-xorg would reconfigure it... /dev/ wouldn't be re-generated or is there a command to regenerate /dev/ ? [04:10] needed to install netkit-inetd [04:10] yanger: just a thought...even installing it on a laptop..with with ubuntu, the iso image and a small switch..and wham a portable installer of sorts. [04:10] yanger: /dev is generated dynamically based on hardware [04:11] yanger: so to answer the question, no need to issue a command, it will be done :) [04:11] nickrud: once i have typed that in should i restart [04:11] nickrud.. cool.. [04:11] wow!, this IRC much better than the other ones i tried :) [04:11] mikeylikesit5805: do you have a really bad looking X running now? [04:11] hello. i just restored my root partition using a backup made in partimage and upon restart I get a grub hard disk failure. any suggestions? [04:11] no its still text [04:11] ok, thanks for the feedback. gonna enjoy this.. ;) [04:11] okay, i now fully have java6 installed(plugin..etc) and i still can't view java applets(firefox).. it says "click here to download plugin" which shows.. "java 6 plugin(i have it installed)", "java 5 plugin", some "gcj plugins". [04:12] mikeylikesit5805: then type that, it should take you directly to the login screen [04:12] ok h/o [04:12] lo all [04:12] xLE: did you do the sudo update-alternatives --config java , and choose sun? [04:12] greets [04:13] not yet [04:13] when people speak of "X" what are they referring to? google hits on that are insane [04:13] i had to restart to fix sudo [04:13] i accidentally deleted the /etc/tomcat directory - is there any way i can get the scripts et al back using apt-get? [04:13] !stats [04:13] Sorry, I don't know anything about stats - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [04:13] ... [04:13] xLE: that's why I was smacking my head, it's the right fix :) [04:13] hello. i just restored my root partition using a backup made in partimage and upon restart I get a grub hard disk failure. any suggestions? [04:13] ah [04:13] argh, this hdtv 1920x1080 thing is getting under my skin. anyone here get 1920x1080 on a lcd-tv ? i cannot seem to get better than 1280x1024 on my 46" samsung [04:13] sorry lol [04:13] Would someone be able to refer me to a good guide to setting up a http server within my desktop (gutsy32bit). [04:14] vIkSiT: did you do any custom stuff in that directory? [04:14] Could someone tell me if there is an 8800gt bug. I'm experience and just need the basics. Thanks. [04:14] misslecommand: in laymans terms the Graphical User interface..its much more complicated as you dwelve into it [04:14] nickrud, except for having changd some conf files - which i can do again - nope [04:14] changed* [04:14] Chamunks look for apache howtos in google [04:14] And I've tried installing lighthttpd and apache and i need to clean them up completely before i try installing again. [04:14] gyaresu: the nvidia drivers in ubuntu don't handle the 8800gt, you need the nvidia site driver [04:14] nickrud, it still doesn't work.. still says "Click here to download plugin" [04:14] Chamunks just remove lighthttpd....leave apache, if necessary reinstall it. [04:15] xLE: you sure you chose sun? [04:15] nickrud: cheers. [04:15] th0r, i find it ends up keeping all my settings even if i reinstall [04:15] unless there is a better way to reinstall than sudo aptitude remove (etc) [04:15] Chamunks - try http://www.lullabot.com/videocast/install-local-web-server-ubuntu [04:15] vIkSiT: sudo aptitude purge && sudo aptitude install will rebuild the /etc/tomcat [04:15] nickrud: you are my hero, you dont know how much time i have spent on this, thanks a bunch [04:15] nickrud: Can I ask a favour. I'm in irssi under screen. Post me a link could you? Would appreciate it. [04:15] nickrud, positive. [04:15] ah [04:15] nickrud, thanks, i'll check it out [04:16] gyaresu: a sec [04:16] nickrud: Thanks. [04:16] Chamunks the fact that it keeps the settings is good...keeps you from losing info on an upgrade. Once you have apache installed, even with bad settings, google for an apache howto and it will take you through setting it up [04:16] um,wow [04:16] hello. i just restored my root partition using a backup made in partimage and upon restart I get a grub hard disk failure. any suggestions? [04:16] no [04:16] th0r, i know its a good thing i just want to find out how to cleanly reinstall. [04:16] firefox often closes unexpectedly, does someone knows why and how to solve the problem ? [04:16] Chamunks give me a sec [04:17] gyaresu: 32bit? [04:17] yup [04:17] Chamunks gotta access my ubuntu server via remote [04:17] punkshui - what is the acutal error? === _max is now known as max [04:17] th0r, yay for ssh! [04:17] nails when it boots it says GRUB GRUB Hard Disk Failure in the top left of the screen [04:17] has anyone used mplayer in amd64 7.10 ? [04:17] gyaresu: http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_169.07.html [04:17] hey guys it would seem that au.archive.ubuntu.com is down [04:17] bmrw, Checking it out... [04:17] Chamunks ssh with X forwarding! got synaptic right here on my suse laptop [04:17] !ndiswrapper [04:17] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [04:18] achandrashekar: burned and verified again, still not booting. md5 checks out too. I think it might just be time for a new laptop. I've used this thing just about every day for the past five years, four of them carrying it around at college, and it's falling apart. [04:18] maxagaz - I saw this - helped out another Firefox problem I saw - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=312136 [04:18] thanks anyway [04:18] Nice [04:18] th0r, nice :P [04:18] bmrw: thanks :) [04:18] Chamunks in synaptic, right click on apache and choose Mark for Complete Removal...should take out all configs [04:18] nickrud: wickid. great work. [04:18] gyaresu: yw [04:18] ManicMechE: Ive never done this...but having enough of a boot.img to boot off of net?? on ppc?? ive never done it but..last option?? [04:18] Chamunks same for lighthttpd [04:19] Ok that sounds good. [04:19] nickrud, "Using `/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java' to provide `java'." [04:19] ManicMechE: and then literally put it on a usb?? [04:19] th0r, well thats simpler than i thought. [04:19] pen [04:19] xLE: hm, a sec I want to look at som links [04:19] sure thing max [04:19] I am wandering if you have fix the mbr. does it error to a grub prompt, root prompt, or just hang? [04:20] hey folks, when I start gnome and xfce I am getting the message that it "could not lookup the internet address for [machine name]" and then it suggests that I modify /etc/hosts to fix it [04:20] nails it just hangs [04:20] But as far as I can tell, /etc/hosts is just fine, and the error persists [04:20] morphine: what is in your /etc/hosts ? [04:20] morphine: pastebin it [04:20] if you have nothing to loose you could try reinstalling the boot record... Can you boot off a live CD and see the drives with fdisk -l? [04:21] xLE: I forgot, I'm running 64bit so I don't have the java plugin set up as ubuntu does .... [04:21] erawfish: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52107/ [04:21] erawfish: but I have tried a number of different things, all of which have failed [04:21] anyone use Reconstructor to roll their own ISO?? [04:21] =[ [04:22] morphine: and what does "hostname" say? [04:22] nails well i backed up my root partition when i had it set the way i wanted it.. then i cleared my drives and reinstalled os x .. then i did a dual boot and just tried to restore my root partition via the partimage image. [04:22] backend [04:22] th0r, i dont know why but apache2 is not showing up in the gui but it does in the cli. [04:22] nails i'm not sure reinstalling the MBR is such a good idea. [04:22] morphine: you only have ONE 127.0.0.1 line. not two. you can put localhost and backen on a single line [04:22] erawfish: I have tried that and it didn't work [04:22] how do we make sure one device is unmounted and ready to be plugged? for instance my USB flash drive when i click on unmount doesnt really unmount (as the light doesnt turn off) and so that thing where if you dont safely remove devices, it wont mount when i plug it in... any thoughts? [04:23] how do I safely add a group? [04:23] morphine: answer my question please [04:23] xLE: just shows how well the 64bit is running these days, that I could forget :) [04:23] Chamunks give me a sec [04:23] punkshui: mac? [04:23] erawfish: sorry, I think I missed your question [04:23] erawfish yup [04:23] morphine: hostname output [04:23] nickrud, Good to see you again, still keepin up with the high octane advice i see. [04:23] could someone walk me through setting up gutsy with encrypted filesystem but with a seperate home partition? [04:23] The only time have I seen issues with grub as been mbr related and with raid setups. Have you tried google to see if anyone else has had the same problem. [04:23] erawfish: the way ubuntu is doing it now is 127.0.0.1 has localhost , and 127.0.1.1 has the hostname [04:23] erawfish: hostname reports backend [04:24] th0r, thanks [04:24] punkshui: don't overwrite your MBR. you don't use normal booting, Macs use EFI. one way is elilo for example. but there are numerous houtows. ie google for macbook and linux and such [04:24] Chamunks: heh. Tonight is not necessarily indicative [04:24] nails a google search for the actual error gets nothing [04:24] !raid [04:24] Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [04:24] nickrud: sure but his doesn't show it that way. and I think it's ugly :) [04:24] erawfish i use refit ... but when i try to boot ubuntu i get a hard disk failure. [04:25] punkshui: exact error message please [04:25] and the point at whihc it occurs [04:25] anyone have any idea why my java won't work for a java applet using firefox? [04:25] away be back in 5 [04:25] erawfish: so do I, but I changed it to the normal expected thing, then something messed with it and I had no hostname resolution. Really sucks when gnome apps take a minute to open, so I surrendered [04:25] xLE: which java is installed? [04:25] erawfish it's the first thing that happens. instead of saying GRUB Loading Stage 1.5... it says GRUB GRUB Hard Disk Failure [04:26] anyone know of a light weight x desktop for server 7.10? [04:26] erawfish, sun-java-6 [04:26] xLE: jre? [04:26] nickrud: you suggest that after the 127.0.0.1 line I put in one that read 127.0.1.1 backend ? [04:26] nickrud, I suppose. [04:26] morphine: that's the way ubuntu installs it now, and as I said, I conformed [04:26] nickrud, i just saw ya on n figured id say hi. [04:27] Chamunks if apache shows in the cli you can use apt-get remove to get rid of it, but I don't see an option to delete the config files. [04:27] Chamunks: lol, that was an attempt at humility :) [04:27] erawfish, jre and plugin and a few other things [04:27] nickrud: same error :( [04:27] nickrud, thats fair :P === dgtlchlk is now known as dgtl|screen [04:27] morphine: does /etc/hostname match? [04:28] nickrud: yeah, it does [04:28] Chamunks better...use 'dpkg purge apache2' [04:28] Chamunks that should erase the configs also [04:28] <^A^kira> how i make new directory from console? [04:28] ^A^kira: mkdir [04:28] th0r, ill try that one [04:28] <^A^kira> tnx [04:28] morphine: and hostname in a terminal matches also? [04:28] th0r: what won't purge apache2 at all. apache2 is a metapackage [04:29] nickrud: yes, it sure does [04:29] erawfish ok....how can he kill apache2 and the configs for it? [04:29] anyone know how to setup encrypted lvm in gutsy with root, swap, and home all encrypted [04:29] has anyone experienced bad frame rates using mplayer in amd64 7.10 while playing windows or real media streams over the net ? [04:29] nickrud: the only weird thing I noticed is that /etc/resolv.conf points at my router, which obviously cannot resolve domain names [04:29] what's the best gtk 2.x theme? :) [04:29] nickrud: but that file contains a warning not to mess with it, so I didn't [04:29] erawfish what can i do? any ideas? [04:29] morphine: ok, since I came in late and spouted off (remember that humility line earlier? I forget the action often) what is exactly the problem? And routers usually do provide dns [04:30] erawfish Chamunks apt-get can handle the metapackage right? [04:30] <^A^kira> and the next question, how do i add ntfs-3g fs? [04:30] th0r: it won't [04:30] Can some 1 help im trying to install Awn and if i pick Y or N When do i want to continue it just says Abort.. [04:30] nickrud: when I start gnome or xfce I get an error saying it can't look up the internet name of [machine name] and that perhaps I should check /etc/hosts [04:30] nickrud: [machine name] being, in my case, backend [04:31] erawfish well, he says it doesn't show in synaptic....how does he go about removing it? [04:31] usually. autoremove might but the usual way is/was to purge apache2.2-common [04:31] !hostname | morphine (check the steps in this link) [04:31] morphine (check the steps in this link): Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. Alternatively, use the gui at system>administration>networking on the "General" tab [04:31] th0r: dpkg -l |grep apache to first check if and what is installed [04:31] erawfish ok...I had the package wrong . I should get a point for being close [04:31] nickrud: yeah, I've done that, but I don't really have access to the the gui [04:31] ntfs-3g | ^A^kira: [04:32] i installed "libgpod2", am i need libgpod1 ? [04:32] <^A^kira> !ntfs-3g | ^A^kira [04:32] morphine: if after it does that, type in a terminal and paste everything, including all commands: cat /etc/hostname && hostname && cat /etc/hosts [04:32] th0r: "close" doesn't cut it for apt-get I'm afraid [04:32] Chamunks did you get all that? [04:32] Does anyone know who the package maintainer is for Tremulous? [04:32] yun [04:32] how do u guys like kde 4? [04:32] <^A^kira> erm... didn't work [04:32] th0r, scrolls up... [04:32] <^A^kira> again plz? :) [04:32] megatog615: apt-cache show tremulous will tell you. complete with mail addy and everything [04:32] !ntfs-3g [04:32] <^A^kira> Brokerer -> it crashed my system [04:32] ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [04:32] cool [04:32] thanks [04:33] away [04:33] !kde4 > Brokerer [04:33] <^A^kira> soldats -> i under console now and no gui, how can i chack these web site? [04:33] nickrud: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52108/ [04:33] hi everyone [04:33] anyone know how to transfer songs into a phone? [04:33] th0r: if grub can't find itself you will have to reinstall it wherever you installed it [04:33] th0r, i havent seen the word metapackage before ... googling... [04:33] punkshui:if grub can't find itself you will have to reinstall it wherever you installed it [04:33] ^punonly way [04:33] haha just wondering if i should give it a try [04:33] erawfish grub is for someone else [04:34] hello [04:34] Chamunks: it's apckage which is just there to load other packages as dependency [04:34] i m installed "libgpod2", am i need libgpod1 ? [04:34] is there anyway to install the gnome x packages off the ubuntu desktop cd onto server? [04:34] ^A^kira, in terminal "w3m www.sitename.com" [04:34] <^A^kira> tnx [04:34] been trying to bluetooth it but it won't work or something, my hardware information reads it as it being plugged in [04:34] CrAzY-181: apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [04:34] but i have no idea how to transfer stuff into it [04:34] erawfish what do you mean? i restored my rootpartition from a partimage backup image and then all of a sudden this error.. what do i have to reinstall? [04:34] erawfish, well i do get apache2 out of the repo's [04:34] punkshui: grub [04:34] !grub | punkshui [04:34] punkshui: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [04:35] erawfish, i am using the extended repo's from the ubuntuguide wiki. [04:35] i know that method but i dont have to much bandwith available is there any way to use the desktop cds packages? [04:35] punkshui: but it will be a bit different than that since your installation is different [04:35] Chamunks metapackage is a pseudonym for a list of packages...like erawfish said...do the dpkg -l |grep apache to get a list of what has to be removed [04:35] I am customising my desktop and want to remove the bottom panel without deleting it forever. Whats the best way? I have added window list to my top panel and I'm using AWN where my bottom panel sits. [04:35] Chamunks: I don't care what you use. use the normal ubuntu repos and this will work [04:35] nickrud: it i a mystery - I have scoured google and everything [04:35] erawfish but i didn't lose grub after i installed os x.. i get a hard disk failure after restoring my ubuntu root partition.. ubuntu worked just fine before that. [04:35] Smegzor, rclick panel and choose no panel for bottom you can always add it back later [04:35] =( [04:35] erawfish refit also worked fine. [04:36] erawfish and works [04:36] erawfish, I dont really know why i felt the need to explain that [04:36] punkshui: yes you do. since the stage15 of grub is on that rootdisk and now grub can't find it anymore for some reason. reinstall grub [04:36] morphine: that should work. It's the standard method. You can try this in /etc/hosts, it's how mine is set up: remove backend from the 127.0.0.1 line, and add a line 127.0.1.1 backend [04:36] punkshui: grub is NOT what is in your MBR or wherever. grub is your full /boot/grub/ directory. all of that [04:36] Chamunks I see four packages in apache...apache2.2-common, apache2-doc, apache2-mpm-prefork, and apache2-utils [04:36] erawfish okay thank you for explaining that to me. [04:36] hey, anybody ever setup openssh? on windows, and use sftp to connect to it [04:37] morphine: if after that gnome is still saying it can't resolve the problem, it's a gnome problem and not a hostname conf problem [04:37] anyone use thunderbird on ubuntu? do you fine the unconfigurably large size of the to:, cc: and bcc: section annoying? [04:37] soldats: I don't see a no panel option (in the panel itself) I rclicked it. [04:37] find* [04:37] nickrud: should /etc/init.d/gdm restart be sufficient to test this? [04:37] r3n0c: do you have a ubuntu related question NOT starting with "anyone"? [04:37] morphine: yes [04:37] th0r, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52109/ [04:37] r3n0c: install the openssh-server package [04:37] Smegzor, delete the panel or go in properties and do remove it. theres an option in your menu for panl properties to add it back when you need it [04:38] Flannel, thanks [04:38] ok [04:38] r3n0c: is windows the ssh client or the ssh servre? [04:38] nickrud: still no dice [04:38] Can someone tell me if this sound card will work with linux? I can't find anything and SIIG isn't on alsa's compatibility list: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829270003 [04:38] Smegzor, havent done it in a while but just delete it, the panel properties will bring it back in the future [04:38] morphine: ok. Then the next step is to create a new user, and try logging in as that user. [04:39] morphine: which gnome program is complaining btw? [04:39] morphine: sudo adduser [04:39] Chamunks checking ...give me a sec [04:39] erawfish: no program in particular, I see the message when gnome or xfce starts [04:39] nickrud: okie [04:39] morphine: or xfce? then it's not gnome specific ... [04:39] ok done. I'd also like AWN to auto start. Where do I do that? [04:40] Chamunks: purge with apt-get apache2.2-common [04:40] nickrud: sorta. xfce uses gtk just like gnome [04:40] erawfish: yeah, I'm thinking .gnome* or gconf [04:40] Chamunks ok...those four are the packages you need to remove. I believe dpkg purge apache2, dpkg purge apache2-mpm-worker, dpkg purge apache2-utils...get the idea? [04:40] Can someone tell me if this sound card will work with linux? I can't find anything and SIIG isn't on alsa's compatibility list: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829270003 [04:40] Chamunks: sudo apt-get remove --purge apache2 apache2.2-common apache2-mpm-worker [04:40] ha;o [04:40] nickrud: same problem with a new user [04:41] heloooo [04:41] Flannel really! the man page seemed to indicate purge was used instead of remove...must be getting old [04:42] morphine: the last thing I can think of is libc's resolver is somehow screwed up. Try a reboot, see if that clears it. [04:42] th0r, Flannel beautiful thank you very much I havent needed to do this before so i didnt know where to start besides aptitude remove [04:42] th0r: No, purge is a flag [04:42] Does anyone know if it is possible to change the battery charge threshold for laptop batteries? [04:42] nickrud: I've restarted a few times to no avail, but I'll ive it another try [04:42] I got a new battery -- and want ubuntu to only charge if it is lower than say... 50% [04:42] morphine: dadddddfsasfdasgagasgd [04:42] Flannel: removing the -common package is enough [04:43] Flannel one more note for my files [04:43] Flannel: nowadays it's a command of apt-get too [04:43] erawfish: mm, you're right. worker doesn't have anything in it. [04:43] nickrud: yeah, seriously... this is a real hassle, and to make matters worse, the first few times I booted the machine ther ewas no trouble [04:43] nickrud: this problem popped up recently [04:44] Hello all. I'm new to Ubuntustudio and I'm having troubles connecting to my wireless network via a MS USB adapter. For some reason I ubuntu shows the device as a wired connection. Can anyone help me? [04:44] i am having some probs with xchat if anyone can help me ... everytime i close xchat the fish.so module gets unloaded and i can't figure out why [04:44] erawfish but if you don't remove worker doesn't it stay in the db? It will show as installed even though there is nothing there? [04:44] hello [04:44] nickrud: aaanndd... reboot didn't help [04:44] morphine: I can see that. I'm gonna try google for a few minutes [04:44] erawfish: Since when? I can't see it on any online man pages. [04:44] morphine: what's the exact error message? [04:44] anyone? [04:45] erawfish, thanks [04:45] Flannel, thanks [04:45] th0r, thanks [04:45] nickrud: Could not look up internet address for backend. This will prevent gnome from working properly. It may be possible to correct the problem by adding backend to the file /etc/hosts [04:46] th0r: worker depends on common, so it'll get removed, but any config wont === Ttech is now known as StargateAtlantis === StargateAtlantis is now known as The_Doctor [04:47] Flannel: apache configs are in common. the directories for it. they get removed [04:47] !raid [04:47] Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [04:47] need help installing a bitmap font. my output from xlsfonts shows: xlsfonts |grep prog [04:47] -fontforge-progsole-medium-r-normal--0-0-75-75-c-0-iso8859-1 === The_Doctor is now known as W6JCN === x86_ is now known as x86- [04:48] erawfish: mpm-worker has no config files, but technically they are still left on the system. [04:48] Hello all. I'm new to Ubuntustudio and I'm having troubles connecting to my wireless network via a MS USB adapter. For some reason I ubuntu shows the device as a wired connection. Can anyone help me? [04:49] erawfish: actually, there might be one file from mpm-worker that is still there, I'm not really sure. [04:49] andrew: where do you see that it shows as a wired connection [04:49] Flannel: check what dpkg -l says after you purged common. I doubt it says "rc" [04:50] Andrew250: what does iwconfig says? [04:50] anyone here have trouble accessing their shares on the host machine when using virtualbox? [04:51] hi all, does anybody here know the way to make a turn on on the machine automatically ? [04:51] no wireless extensions [04:51] pxe boot [04:51] erawfish: no wireless extensions [04:51] erawfish: I'd need to have a version of apache with the lintain stuff. Like I said, I'm unsure. [04:52] turn on automatically? [04:52] wtfbrb: yeah tur on automatically !!! [04:53] what's the best gtk 2.x theme? :) [04:53] morphine: everything I find says what we did was the fix ... [04:53] what all comes with the ubuntu's dvd iso? [04:53] Hello, I need to connect to a Ubuntu machine using VNC, but I want the vnc clients to get a login window, how should I configure vnc server to do that ? [04:53] you mean like when the toilet flushes? [04:53] nickrud: I know... [04:53] olddude67: A live system, the textmode installer, and extra packages [04:53] andrew: do you know if ms provides linux drivers for the card? [04:54] AnAnt, I think vnc does that by default [04:54] wtfbrb: lol not man just I want to turn on the pc, forexample at 6:00 AM [04:54] don't know, it's not a card its a usb device but I guess I could find out [04:54] morphine: I did find this, which is similar (with an example) but there was no resolution given. http://www.justlinux.com/forum/showthread.php?t=145107 One machine worked, the other didn't [04:54] dsnyders: actually what I got is a blank X window, just with Ubuntu's background image [04:54] Flannel so it will come with a textmode installer? good that is what i wanted to know,cause for some reason the cd's just hang on my system and dont want to run right. [04:55] dsnyders: no login screen [04:55] * LumBuntu is away: I'm busy [04:55] olddude67: Have you tried the alternate CD? [04:55] andrew: to me, it sounds like ubuntu doesn't recognize it which means you may need to compile the drivers. just a guess though [04:55] !away > LumBuntu [04:55] Flannel have tried alt. cd and ubuntu cd and the kubuntu cd, and they all do it, so i was hoping the dvd would work better. [04:56] ah, so you want the internal clock to boot at a certain time? [04:56] brenix: I do see the device and proper model under the device manager [04:56] nickrud: it is extremely frustrating because I really can't click to make the message go away either [04:56] AnAnt, Is someone logged into the machine? [04:56] wtfbrb: yeah !, is there a way to make it ? [04:56] nickrud: in fact, no matter which option I click on, nothing happens [04:56] dsnyders: erm, I don't think so [04:56] make your own bios? [04:56] olddude67: Yeah, the DVD is the alternate CD, although I'm not sure it'll work any better. Check https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation maybe there'll be some other method you can use if the DVD doesnt work [04:56] dsnyders: can't more than 1 login to the machine using VNC ? [04:56] nickrud: although I can start programs by ssh-ing in starting them [04:57] morphine: I'm at a loss. You have a good hostname setup. [04:57] Flannel, ok thanks for the help. [04:57] wtfbrb: the problem is that I'll use a old machine as a mail server, but I nned to make it, because I dont know when the energy died, do you know what I mean ? [04:57] morphine: and that's supposed to fix it :( [04:57] AnAnt, I haven't tried that. I just use it to get to my desktop when I'm on my laptop. [04:58] I've got a problem with logging out of Gnome, if anyone might know anything about that. [04:58] I get "Desktop effects cannot be enabled" now but compiz worked just fine from the livecd, how can this be resolved? [04:58] dsnyders: yes, that works, but that's not what I want [04:58] andrew: i found a possible solution from google. try running sudo apt-get install linux-wlan-ng. Ubuntu should already have it, but its worth a try [04:58] AnAnt, I have to put in a username/password to establish the connection. [04:58] dsnyders: I'm running the ubuntu machine as a server [04:58] hey can somebody help me solve a problem im having with sleep mode? [04:58] nickrud: I know. Thanks for your help [04:58] brenix: thanks [04:58] nned? [04:58] ? [04:58] Flannel what is weird is i got the cd for kubuntu to work in vmware, but it wont on the install of its own? maybe the ubuntu regulare desktop is not letting it run right? === julian_ is now known as julabask [04:59] is it possible to run compiz with ati drivers [04:59] brenix: couldn't find package [04:59] Flannel, maybe i should just wipe the hard drive and start from scratch if this doesnt work with the dvd. === W6JCN is now known as Ttech [05:00] If I try to click the Logout button in Gnome, nothing comes up and I lose all ability to interact with any windows or the desktop, short of Ctrl-Alt-Backspace. [05:00] olddude67: The installed system should have no affect on the CD booting [05:00] Ereal2, i run compiz with ati drivers why would it be impossible. they did not specifically make compiz for nvidia. [05:00] andrew: hm ok, interesting. Im running gutsy, and i'm able to see it/its already installed.. [05:00] Do you guys leave your computer morning all day long? [05:00] Flannel, that is what i thought as well, it should just load as a live cd right? [05:00] coool [05:01] now do you know of a good tutorial that will help me do that [05:01] julabask: well, ati drivers are well known for being, well, not very good [05:01] i am having some probs with xchat if anyone can help me ... everytime i close xchat the fish.so module gets unloaded and i can't figure out why [05:01] AnAnt, I'm sorry, I don't know VNC well enough to know if it works as a remote x server. [05:01] anyone at all please im at my witsend [05:01] I'm using gutsy but the ubuntustudio version [05:01] dsnyders: ok, thanks [05:01] dehsphel, i agree very hard to install with out them being buggy but once they are good they work as well [05:01] brenix: I'm using gutsy but the ubuntustudio version [05:01] I am attempting to delete my ldap database in 7.10, the tubes are telling me to go to the directory that holds the database and rm * that guy then start slapd back up. However when i do that ldap wont recognize my credentials anymore, can anyone suggest a solution? [05:02] julabask: IMO nvidia and ati are about equally flawed [05:02] AnAnt, I kind of think it does, though. [05:02] Is there any easy way (as in apt-get/module-assistant) to get reiserfs4 on Ubuntu? [05:03] grumbel-> file system support is a kernel function that has to be compile into the kernel [05:03] bkar: grumbel-> not entirely true, you can build modules of it. BUT you can't run a root of reiserfs4 without [05:04] bkar: um, no. fs support can be loaded as modules [05:04] dehspehl the nvidia driver that came with ubuntu allowed my 7800gtx to run compiz at 200-500fps and the newest 8.44.3 ati that i had to manually install runs at 60fps max so i think nvidia is doing a bit better job [05:04] yeah thats true, compile a loadable kernel [05:04] No one has any idea what might make the logout button hang gnome? [05:05] Quick question here. If I simply copy over my entire filesystem on my ubuntu partition and then reinstall ubuntu and copy over the files will it be exactly as it is now? [05:05] hi all, I have a big problem with the apt-get system: [05:05] i meant loadable kernel module [05:05] to make things simple: Its not in the default kernel and adding it would require work, correct? [05:05] julabask: well, fps isn't the only measure. seizing up a machine is pretty darn bad [05:05] I downloaded all of the ubuntu repository and made the Packages.gz file with the dpkg-scanpackages utility but [05:05] Flannel im going to try again in safe graphics mode and see what happens [05:05] during downloding my local repository became biger and biger for about 2 weeks . each time I run the dpkg-scanpackages utility I could install more packages from my local repository until from 3 days ago after running it (dpkg-scanpackages) and then "apt-get update" the "apt-get install ...." after this tells me: "E: Wow, you exceeded the number of versions this APT is capable of." [05:05] what is my solution ? is the because of a big repository? but I download only from the main repository of ubuntu: "archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu" and thus it must do good without error as when I connect to this main repository from Internet !!! [05:05] but thanks for the help [05:05] dehspehl, i agree but lucky have not run into that [05:05] julabask: I have a geforce go 7600, about every 10 minutes of a graphics intensive game/compiz - SNAP. I couldn't do anything, less ssh into the box (and still couldn't reactivate the video) [05:05] apt-get remove [05:06] correct, you have to compile a loadable module [05:06] anant, xvnc might be closer to what you're looking for. http://linuxreviews.org/howtos/xvnc/ [05:06] shoppy: Just a guess, but if you copy over your /entire/ filesystem, that would probably include a lot of config files and such, so that probably would have unfortunate consequences. === HashBox_ is now known as HashBox [05:06] is there anyone knowing this message: "E: Wow, you exceeded the number of versions this APT is capable of." of apt-get ? :-( [05:07] dehspehl that is very weird because i am able to run games on wine for hours on both computers and never have that problem even linux games are good without crashing [05:07] ya but im thinking if i copy over the config files it will be working as it is now. either try that or have a go trying to fix grub [05:07] i freaking love linux [05:07] Do you guys leave your computer morning all day long? [05:07] yes [05:07] shoppy123: if grub is broke, fix grub. [05:07] andrew: this is about all i can find: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=106700 [05:07] dehspehl have you check if anything is weird in you nvidia xconfig file [05:07] Flannel, its working in safe graphics mode.YEAH [05:07] julabask: it's likely hardware, because this machine doesn't even know how to init the video at power-on [05:08] julabask: so therefore can't natively run Ubuntu [05:08] dsnyders: ok, thanks for the help [05:08] shoppy: At that point, why reinstall? [05:08] i leave my computer on 24/7, not always to internet though [05:08] julabask: (it used to, but something went awry in bios/video bios/primary display adapter/somesuch) [05:08] dehspehl, ouch what type of motherboard is that did you build that or is that just a very unsupportive linux laptop [05:08] shoppy: Oh, it's a grub problem? I'd definitely try to reinstall grub before performing filesystem surgery. [05:08] im going to try supergrub [05:09] is that a good alternative [05:09] julabask: it's in an hp pavilion dv9000, all I know is the bios is Phoenix [05:09] is the anyone thinking about my above problem ? :-( [05:09] brenix: thanks [05:10] shoppy: Your guess is as good as mine. I've never had a problem with grub itself, even dual booting with XP. [05:10] shoppy123: if grub doesn't give an error code, and there are lots of messages, it's likely the kernel [05:10] does anyone know the easiest way to install vmware? [05:10] Quick question, I can install Ubuntu onto a USB drive (hardrive) right? [05:10] dehspehl, yes their motherboards work well with linux in overall compatibility but die very quickly i had a nx4000 and i had to send it in to hp for repair 7 times in one year to replace the mother board [05:10] so i know what your talking about [05:11] well whenever i try loading ubuntu from grub i get text on the screen and many lines saying command not found [05:11] And if I install Ubuntu on there using VMWare, can I use that USB drive on a physical machine and have it work fine? [05:11] Does anyone have any idea why the logout button might hang gnome? [05:11] julabask: well my warranty is shot [05:11] but i know ubuntu is installed right because it was working up until i tried to install pclinux [05:11] julabask: they said "all you have to do is download some windows drivers" [05:12] dehspehl, oh i know and hp warranty is shit and they advertise it a lot but are very tight on their rules i hate them and most people who you talk to on the phone for support barely know anything about computer actually sometimes i question if they even know english === fotofl0 is now known as fotoflo [05:13] Creed-> curious, what OS were you running on your vmware when you created the Ubuntu on the usb? [05:14] julabask: I am tempted to go the full desktop route, as I now have a mini-notebook [05:14] bkar, Windows [05:14] I also have another problem with the same pc. Whenever something graphical appears on the screen ie the screensaver the computer crashes. I've just installed ubuntustudio [05:14] bkar, dont have much space on here so want to install to my usb drive [05:14] might be a bit difficult to carry around a box :) [05:14] i have an nc6400 and on xp i got near 4 hours sometimes more like 5 hours of battery life on ubuntu it estimates 2 hours and 30 minutes max and never changes it their some software or drivers to improve this. if i recalibrate the battery by depleating it then recharging it no change [05:14] Creed-> I think that would be okay, not sure if you want it bootable though from USB [05:15] Creed, http://www.pendrivelinux.com/ has lots of info, but I don't know about installing from vmware [05:15] the mouse still works but won't do anything [05:15] dehspehl, if your a gamer then i would definately build a desktop your self last longer and better performance and parts [05:15] julabask: acpi might not be working properly [05:16] julabask : does it do the same thing in "safemode" ? [05:16] If i leave my [desktop] computer all alone thought out the night, would the computer [idle hard driver, fans, etc] goes off like sleep / hibernate i don't want my computer goes sleep/hibernate when the computer converting videos and downloading [05:16] dserban, yeah I've been reading up on it, just wasnt sure if I could have a true portable OS, as in works on any computer that supports booting from USB. [05:16] dehspehl, i suspected that considering after hibernation computer runs slow and i only ocasionally does the suspend work to [05:16] if ive created an oem image and ran oem-config prepare how can i transport that image to various harddrives? [05:16] dserban, and VMWare since it supports using a physical drive. [05:17] maybe turning off power managemnt in your bios settings may help with power issues. as far as laptops, i dont think its such a good idea though [05:17] k... guys... so in windows all programs exes are stored in this location c:/programfiles/application .. where all the actual executable files for hte programs in ubuntu or any gui linux? [05:17] greentea youll be fine [05:17] rd:/usr/bin [05:17] dehspehl, i have tried safe mode and no difference. awkwardly thought the battery life is always a consistent 2 and half hours while windows would jump around and from my understanding batteries are not consistent [05:17] just got done burning super grub [05:17] be back in a little [05:17] is there a way to view a linux drive/contents from withing windows ? [05:17] quick question for someone.....I'm upgrading from an old (think 2006.0) Gentoo machine, and just put a clean install of Gutsy on it. I've got apache/php working, and I've got postgres working.....unfortunately I'm having problems connecting to postgres through PHP. If I don't include password='' in the pg_connect string, it fails. Before all I needed was "dbname='db' user='name'". Did I miss a config option, or did pg_dumpall, the [05:17] n psql -f not insert the old the data properly? [05:18] misslecommander: on the same machine dual booting, or a different machine? If it's a different machine you can use samba shares [05:19] excuse me how come nvu is no longer included in the ubuntu repos? [05:19] dehspehl, i would definately recomend building a computer or go with a business laptop that meets your specifications which is rare to find. they are built better [05:19] misslecommander: yep ive used with this with xp http://www.fs-driver.org/ (an ext3 drive) [05:19] glick: it's called kompozer now [05:19] ahh [05:19] that would explain it [05:19] dehspehl, i have tried safe mode and no difference. awkwardly thought the battery life is always a consistent 2 and half hours while windows would jump around and from my understanding batteries are not consistent [05:19] astro76, why the name change? [05:19] dehspehl, i would definately recomend building a computer or go with a business laptop that meets your specifications which is rare to find. they are built better [05:20] Anyone here? === brian_ is now known as ubrian [05:20] yes lots [05:20] i am [05:20] dehspehl, i have tried safe mode and no difference. awkwardly thought the battery life is always a consistent 2 and half hours while windows would jump around and from my understanding batteries are not consistent [05:20] i have an nc6400 and on xp i got near 4 hours sometimes more like 5 hours of battery life on ubuntu it estimates 2 hours and 30 minutes max and never changes it their some software or drivers to improve this. if i recalibrate the battery by depleating it then recharging it no change [05:21] maybe off topic but, anyone know how to stop xChat from reconnecting, after disconnecting ? [05:22] Is there a seperate channel for GNOME issues? [05:22] does anybody know where amarok keeps its default icon? [05:22] glick: nvu was undeveloped for a long time, and linspire owns the trademark I think [05:22] ah [05:22] bums [05:23] swuboo: http://live.gnome.org/GnomeIrcChannels [05:23] misslecommander: if you're using Xchat (not xchat-gnome), you could try the #xchat channel [05:23] seems to be so many asking about gnone, why so popular ? [05:24] misslecommander: oh, just happens to be the default DE for Ubuntu [05:24] misslecommander: Gnome is the default desktop environment for Ubuntu, so I imagine that's why. [05:24] gnome is popular [05:24] hang five === dgtl|screen is now known as dgtlchlk [05:24] In my case, I'm asking because I can't log out of Gnome without using Ctrl-Alt-Backspace, which is beyond annoying. [05:24] question? In windows the desktop icons link to the executable files for a program,... how to the icons work on ubuntu? [05:25] Well, I can logout if I happen to download an update that requires a reboot. I just can't do it voluntarily. [05:25] i figure i would gather as much info as i could before i played with ubuntu [05:26] rd, they work just fine on ubuntu [05:26] rd: They work the same way. [05:26] i have an nc6400 and on xp i got near 4 hours sometimes more like 5 hours of battery life on ubuntu it estimates 2 hours and 30 minutes max and never changes it their some software or drivers to improve this. if i recalibrate the battery by depleating it then recharging it no change === joel_ is now known as lolo === lolo is now known as lolo2 [05:27] Gnome teminal reports: "sudo: pam_authenticate: Conversation error; :" There is no prompt. Why can I not terminate this 'conversation' by ^C? How can I terminate this 'conversation'? [05:27] julabask, just a shot in the dark but, maybe 2 1/2 hours is considered max, so if it says 2 1/2 hours left, you are probably alright [05:27] can someone help me when i try to burn a cd in k3b i get the error ubuntu there was an error writing tothe disk unhandled error [05:27] hmm i want to add a user with access limited only to my samba server [05:27] unhandled error, meaning the program has no handle for that error ? [05:27] sudo adduser --disabled-login --group samba --no-create-home userName [05:27] ? [05:28] didnt work [05:28] misslecommander, it is saying 2 1/2 hours is my maximum but i got twice as long in xp [05:28] adduser: Specify only one name in this mode. [05:28] So, /is/ there a GNOME channel? [05:28] anyone? [05:28] swuboo: no, that's really annoying. beyond annoying is not being able to log out of gnome with ctrl-alt-backspace [05:28] What is a good command line irc client for ubuntu? [05:28] i also get the error cdrecord has no permission to open the device [05:28] manu_: irssi [05:28] with k3b [05:28] swuboo: #gnome on irc.gnome.org, I believe. (that is the server, guess on the channel) [05:28] dehspehl_: Touché. [05:28] dehspehl_: Thanks I'll try that [05:29] .lastlog swuboo [05:29] Flannel: I'll give that a go, thanks. [05:30] julabask, misslecommander, the battery monitor in linux is known to under-report charge, and there's no adjustment available yet. [05:30] at least as of a couple of months ago. [05:31] dsnyders, thanks but that is dissapointing even if it under-reports does that mean my computer will shut off when it detects 0 even if it is wrong and will their hopefully be a fix for this in the future or next ubuntu [05:32] if it never comes off 2 1/2 hours and your computer shuts down, i would think that is when you may need to be concerned [05:32] lol yes but it does count down very quickly though [05:32] so it does move then ? [05:33] what would you guys say is the best download manager? [05:33] julabask, I'm in the same boat. My battery runs for 7 hrs in Vista, but only 4 in ubuntu. [05:33] Is it possible to set a moving background image? Like a .gif or some sort? [05:33] if in windows it reports double, just double the time linux reports, and that is what you have left. that is, if it moves at all [05:33] yes but to quickly as if it holds a week charge compared to windows which gives me 5 hours [05:33] If the default phpmyadmin password is not functioning for me how can i fix that? [05:33] yes but when it hits zero it shuts down the computer [05:34] is anyone else having problems with flash locking up firefox? [05:34] Flannel: Well, there is indeed a room there, and it's got 130 people in it, but none of them seem to be saying anything. [05:34] Nevermind... [05:34] Retard moment. [05:34] julabask : i dont think it is always the OS fault, it could very well be the manufacturer of the battery. look at Sony for instance. they start afire ontop your lap [05:34] dsnyder, misslecommander, i sure hope this gets improved this is the only week part i have run into on ubuntu [05:34] maybe thats thier idea of a "hot" laptop [05:34] * nickrud moves the laptop down a little [05:35] lol [05:35] lol thats why i love how dell gaming computers have fire logos considering they always over heat and have the most cases of catching fire [05:35] How do I remove the graphical "booting" from ubuntu? I want it to display the modules loading and that sort of stuff instead of the ugly loading thingy [05:35] nickrud, wise move :-) [05:35] Patogen: You could probably comment out the splash flag in the grub options, but that's just a guess. [05:36] hey what do I type in the Removable Drives and Media preferences to use Exaile as the default audio cd player and have the cd automatically play songs? [05:36] it all goes so quick, i can barely see what it says before the splash [05:36] I also have another problem with the same pc. Whenever something graphical appears on the screen ie the screensaver the computer crashes. I've just installed ubuntustudio [05:36] Patogen: in /boot/grub/menu.lst, change # defoptions=quiet splash to # defoptions=nosplash, then sudo update-grub [05:37] Patogen: sudoedit /boot/grub/menu.lst , find the line #defoptions , and remove the word splash there then save. Then run sudo update-grub. Next boot, normal text [05:37] ah, slow again [05:37] I have searched and searched online but cant find a answer [05:37] misslecommander, dsnyder, i have a cd with alot of tools from hp to check stuff out and it has a tool to check on the cd when you boot off of it your battery life i will use that as judgement [05:37] Heh, so I was right, except for not realizing you have to sudo update-grub. [05:37] Nice thank you astro76 and nickrud :) [05:37] Good to know. [05:37] how do i set a folder readable by group abc? [05:38] Can someone who is very knowledgeable with Ubuntu and the fglrx driver please be kind enough to help me? [05:38] anyone? [05:38] fotofl0: chown : && chmod g+r [05:38] julabask, just as an experiment sometime, when ubuntu shuts down due to low battery, see how much charge XP thinks is left. [05:39] fotofl0: chgrp -r abc folder/ && chmod g+r folder/ [05:39] hey can somebody help me with using the sftp command and openssh [05:39] QUESTION: i need to have a program run automatically after X starts up, with admin rights 'sudo atitvout t' to be exact? any idea?? [05:39] fotofl0: the -r option will change all the contents too, so decide if you need that [05:39] there you go, check it in windoes after ubuntu shuts down from supposed battery life [05:39] when i open a movie it opens but the screen is green with some lines or something... anyone knwo whats up? [05:40] i have the private key from my open ssh server, but i dont' know how to use that key in the sftp command [05:40] telee: what media player? [05:40] vlc and xine [05:40] codec ? [05:40] In menu.lst grub the defoption is commented out ... [05:40] oh both huh, totem is always an option - wat kind video is it? [05:40] misslecommander, i dunno, how do i change it? or find which one it is? [05:41] I need help I'm having a video driver issue [05:41] anyone know how to use a private key in the sftp command [05:41] Patogen: that's the way it's supposed to be. update-grub uses that line as a template for creating the lines between the AUTOMAGIC markers [05:41] Alright, the official GNOME IRC channel is deader than a box of trilobytes; does anyone here know why clicking the Logout button hangs GNOME? [05:41] But I have this line "root=UUID=32752c2d-00fe-4086-845e-ccd705a8a277 ro quiet splash" which looks like I can change splash to nosplash, will this work? [05:41] r3n0c: you need the public key contents in the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file on the server [05:42] nickrud: I'm sorry but I don't understand [05:42] what is the console command that tells me what version of ubuntu I'm running? [05:42] astro76, ok i have that file but where do i add it in the command [05:42] Patogen: that line will be automatically updated when you run sudo update-grub . Try changing the #defoptions , then run update-grub and look again [05:42] telee, what is the extension on it [05:42] .iso [05:43] A Gnome teminal tab reports: "sudo: pam_authenticate: Conversation error; :" There is no prompt. Why can I not terminate this 'conversation' by ^C? How can I terminate this 'conversation'? [05:43] quick i need a command code to shut down at 3 am [05:43] quick i need a command code to shut down at 3 am [05:43] Hi all! I have a file consisting of filenames. I'd like to add leading and trailing text. eg /path/abc becomes mv /path/abc /home/abc01 [05:44] lemontea, check out the at and shutdown commands [05:44] sudo shutdown -h +240 [05:44] dsnyders sudo shutdown -h +240 [05:44] dsnyders does this works for 240 minutes? [05:44] r3n0c: don't, if the private key is in the client (~/.ssh/id_dsa or id_rsa) and the public key contents are in the server authorized_keys, it should just work [05:44] nickrud: It did, thank you -- again :) Hopefully nothing went wrong :D [05:45] lemontea: yes, among other formats you can choose from [05:45] astro76, thats what i thought, i didn't thikn that i needed the private key data.. the server is a windows box running openssh [05:45] Patogen: a reboot will be the smoke test :) [05:45] astro76, ok nvm i think that i found the ssh_config where i can chang ethe directory for where the new id_rsa is [05:45] lemontea, yes, that's +240 munutes, however, shutdown -h 03:00 might do the trick. [05:46] !broadcom [05:46] that's 3 am [05:46] Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx [05:47] astro76, well, 3 am is what lemontree asked for [05:48] ahh [05:48] !kernel [05:48] The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - For more: /msg ubotu stages [05:48] dsnyders it say it need to be root [05:48] dsnyders it say it need to be root [05:48] i take it you can compile your own custom kernel ? [05:48] lemontea: stop repeating [05:48] dsnyders sorry [05:48] lemontea: use sudo [05:48] lemontea: Preface the command with sudo. [05:48] dsnyders sudo dsnyders [05:49] dsnyders sudo shutdown -h 03:00 [05:49] dsnyders thanks everyone [05:49] dsnyders so it should shut down with no problem [05:50] you guys rock. even if i dont understand everything about linux yet, i can see there is a hwole mess of info that goes through here [05:50] ubuntu not recognizing USB stick....i have to boot it with 'noapic' though. any thoughts? [05:50] does anyone know what the best video output driver is for mplayer under Compiz-Fusion ? I am running 7.10 amd64 with a geforce board and restricted drivers. [05:51] !nvidia [05:51] To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [05:51] I can't do make after I do a ./configure- why? [05:51] my nVidia worked first install, as of yet, no issues [05:51] Carbonflux: Assuming you've got an nvidia video card, the "nvidia" driver is probably your best bet. [05:51] astro76, ok new problem, putting the id_rsa fixed it, so it connects, but i get an error back claiming that the file is not in a secure location [05:51] ~/.ssh is my /home/username/.ssh [05:52] i assume that it wants it inside of my not home dir [05:52] vejan738, try make clean then make [05:52] can i virutalize my ubuntu partition in windows? [05:52] thank u [05:52] Carbonflux: I've had no luck with mplayer and compiz, x11 at least shows video but mplayer can't scale it. I've been using vlc with x11 [05:52] swuboo, I am talking about the output model for mplayer, for example, there is a opengl one, or a x11 one, etc [05:52] nope [05:52] nickrud, ah thanks :) [05:52] vejan738, which software please ? [05:53] Carbonflux: Ah. Well, then I'm not sure I have any notion. [05:53] Carbonflux: and when I really want to watch video, I switch off compiz [05:53] icecast [05:53] ... [05:53] r3n0c: make sure .ssh/ is 700, and id_rsa is 600 [05:53] vejan738: did you do sudo apt-get install build-essential? [05:53] swuboo, heh, if was not a important question, just fishing in case anyone has played with it :) [05:53] vejan738, hmmmm, don't know that one yet, let me go get it and see what gives. [05:53] nickrud, what kind of machine do you have ? [05:53] astro76, i can just sudo chmod id_rsa 600 right? [05:53] r3n0c: yeah [05:53] Hi [05:53] Carbonflux: a cheap gateway laptop with ati 200m [05:53] r3n0c: chmod 600 id_rsa [05:54] Carbonflux: Well, my mplayer seems to be set to use gl. [05:54] Carbonflux: but it works great with linux [05:54] thanks swuboo :) [05:54] Ola [05:54] ubuntu not recognizing USB stick....i have to boot it with 'noapic' though. any thoughts? [05:54] r3n0c: shouldn't need sudo either ;) [05:54] Alguien Habla Español [05:54] ??? [05:54] !es | Pipehh [05:54] Pipehh: Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda. [05:54] nickrud, ya linux has saved all my older machines from the scrap heap heh [05:54] gracias [05:54] astro76, thanks man, worked [05:54] yo hablo español [05:54] Pipehh, de nada, literalimente :) [05:54] EvanP: you could try virtual box or vmware although i dont think you can import an existing partition? [05:54] r3n0c: no problem [05:54] Carbonflux: And I am using compiz, with an nVidia card. [05:55] dannyboy20, people get upset if you speak spanish on the english channel. go to the #es, or create a temporary channel, or do a pm. [05:55] #ubuntu-es ? [05:55] dannyboy20, I don't get upset, but on occasion I get yelled at about it. :) [05:55] I am trying the gl right now swuboo it does scale correctly and it looks smooth [05:55] Starnestommy, si [05:55] KarrotCake, that would be awsome, i wouldnt have to reboot to use netbeans. [05:56] Carbonflux: Good, I'm glad it's working for you, too. [05:56] nah man im good...just tellin the other dude that i speak spanish sinse he asked [05:56] astro76, haha ok well newer issue, it says to enter passphrase.... which i know what it is, but it says that it is wrong... does it want the entire id_rsa file pasted? i doubt it [05:56] Could anyone tell me how to reinstall lib32 in ubuntu-64 ? [05:56] swuboo, ya I don't want to have to turn off compiz to watch movies, I like the minimal interface with mplayer heh [05:56] Any sed gurus online? I want to morph a list of files into a string of commands on those files. [05:56] r3n0c, no, but there should be a way to use the hex key rather than the pass phrase [05:56] sethk, i hav a problem...everytime i try loading ubuntu...my screen starts fuzzing up after it it loads the system... [05:57] Carbonflux: Agreed, although my favorite feature of mplayer is how it willfully ignores previews on DVD's. [05:57] ! [05:57] dsnyders, doesn't sound difficult, but sed may not be the correct tool. What do you need to do, exactly? [05:57] EvanP: You can get a netbeans installer for both linux and windows; why not just install it twice? [05:57] !netowrk [05:57] Sorry, I don't know anything about netowrk - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [05:57] !network [05:57] swuboo, heh ya I just noticed that, it just right into the move [05:57] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [05:57] movie* [05:57] vejan738, are you in sudo mode ? [05:57] Anyone here know how to reinstall lib32 in ubuntu 64? [05:57] r3n0c: no just the passphrase [05:57] yes [05:57] sethk, i hav an amd64 processor with an nvidia card [05:57] hmm [05:57] dannyboy20, not sure what you mean by fuzzing up. Can you elaborate? [05:58] vejan738, and of course in the /dir you need be in ? [05:58] KarrotCake, i like developing on linux [05:58] Carbonflux: Beautiful thing, isn't it? Even if you voluntarily navigate yourself to previews, it ignores fast-forward lockouts. [05:58] yes [05:58] ok [05:58] sethk, I want to convert "/path/to/file" to "mv /path/to/file /home/me/file01" [05:58] swuboo, ah thats really, I HATE those anti-piracy ones and stuff [05:58] really good* [05:58] i am not running the 64 version of linux, but it works on my amd64 [05:58] sethk, yea the screen starts to go black for some reason...but it does thru a blend of grey and white and black till the whole thing goes black like if my monitor was off [05:59] sethk, where the 01 changes with the line in the file. [05:59] veejan78, what I did was open terminal, sudo kpackage, search icecast. got icecast2 installed quick. [05:59] dsnyders, right, I would do this: [05:59] I feel like I am getting better performance running the amd64 build tho [05:59] i hav tried the 32 and 64bit edition of ubuntu...they both do the same... [05:59] dsnyders, first, cd to /path/to, then do ls > filelist [05:59] veejan78, I'm using Ubuntu v6.06 LTS i686 [05:59] dsnyders, filelist being an arbitrary name [05:59] hmmmmm [05:59] !amd64 [05:59] AMD64 and EMT64 are fully supported architectures on Ubuntu. See http://tinyurl.com/jv6tc for more information. [06:00] dsnyders, then, vi the file. You can do it with sed but it's harder, so vi the file [06:00] !moo [06:00] Sorry, I don't know anything about moo - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [06:00] I find the 64bit version seems to perform better with my dual core AMD64. [06:00] sethk, each line in the file has a different path. [06:00] hi [06:00] i will try amd64 version. i wasnt sure which one i needed [06:00] annyboy20: you aren't going to notice a huge difference with 64bit unless you are doing heavy math or have more than 4GB of RAM [06:00] I think 7.10 amd64 has been a good pick for me, I have managed to get everything I want working and it runs really fast [06:00] dsnyders, oh, ok, still doable but a bit harder. [06:00] sethk, however, continue [06:00] Although with Gutsy, Firefox likes to turn grey and ignore all input for twenty seconds at a time unless I completely disable Flash. [06:00] dsnyders, ok, so ... [06:00] i type make an No targets specified and makefile found [06:00] me2 swuboo [06:00] hmmmm [06:01] I installed ubuntu (just for testing at first) on a too small partition ... is there a way to correct this? I will need to downsize my windows partition and make my / partitition bigger ... a link to a guide or anything would be good :) [06:01] people say you don't notice it but I do [06:01] all this is icecast-2.3.1 dir [06:01] anyone here know how to reinstall lib32? in ubuntu 64? [06:01] vejan738, if you pulled a CVS set of files, you need to use autoconf first. Otherwise you may be in the wrong directory [06:01] the reason i didnt install the amd64 version is, peopel talking about java or flash or something going wrong with installing them [06:01] I installed the 32bit version first and ran it for a week [06:01] yes, there is a issue with flash [06:01] EvanP: Id give virtualbox a go then; works great in linux, so should be good in windows. [06:01] misslecommander: And they aren't kidding. You can get flash working, but it's a headache. [06:01] but there are some fairly good howto's on the net about it [06:01] veejan738, where did you get the package from please ? II'd like to try it that way [06:01] CarbonFlux : you ran into no flash or java issues ? [06:01] misslecommander it will takes you some time till you get flash working as it should [06:01] Flash works just fine for me [06:01] yes [06:01] in x64 [06:01] clearzen, i know but im juzt trying to get the system loaded lol and its not even letting me...i juzt thought i needed the 64bit version sinse thats what i have [06:01] and also with me [06:01] I had to manually build a flash 64bit package [06:02] right from icecast.org [06:02] ok. [06:02] its a new version [06:02] I really hate the weird grey-out Firefox bug, though. Only appeared when I upgraded to Gutsy. [06:02] you dont really have too , but chaning on line the .deb , and things would work fine [06:02] https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/gutsy/amd64/flashplugin-nonfree/9.0.115.0ubuntu0.7.10 [06:02] I used this and it worked like a charm [06:02] the ubuntu version had a checksum error in it [06:02] I think it still does [06:02] I'll try that. Did you see sethk's comment ? [06:02] so you dont think i will run into the Flash problem with the desktop non-64 version ? [06:02] dsnyders, pm me, it's not a one liner. [06:02] yeah it still [06:02] misslecommander: If you're using the 32-bit version, as far as I know there isn't a Flash problem. [06:03] without the checksum error tho the flash package on the ubuntu repos works I assume [06:03] Or at least, there wasn't back when I used the 32-bit version. [06:03] bbiab veejan [06:03] dannyboy20: no, I wouldn't recommend a 64bit system unless you know exactly what you are doing. It seems much more buggy than 32bit and you have to jump through a lot of hoops to get things working. [06:03] i choose stable over performance any day [06:03] all 64-bit users here , anyone know how to reinstall the stupid lib32?! [06:03] thanks spee [06:03] anyone know why i get a green screen when i play movies? [06:03] misslecommander, theres no problem with flash but you have to install via the adobe site [06:03] well, I got 64bit flash working fine following instructions from a howto on the web [06:03] took me about 10 mins [06:03] clearzen , the only reason you shouldnt use 64 , if you are going to mplayer and using win32-dll (codecs) [06:03] till now , i dont see other reason for not using it , except that [06:04] the only problem with flash 64bit in 7.10 seems to be a checksum error in the repos [06:04] Hello. [06:04] oh but i hav the 32bit version too and thats the one ive always used..but i juzt got a new latop today and the system wont even load...any idea on whats happening with my system? [06:04] tt__: I had *a lot* of problems. Including 64bit flash support on firefox [06:04] i have 32 installed, so i wll run that till i get used to it, then maybe change [06:04] heh, there are w64 codecs now tt__ [06:04] I just installed them [06:04] clearzen , dont tell me , i allready knew ;) , i jsut made some things stupid with lib32 and now i missing every things [06:04] has anybody actually noticed a performance improvement with 64bit ubuntu? [06:04] i am new to linux i dont need more problems than may already be there [06:04] i just realized my laptop has infrared, and my cell phone has infrared. what can be done with this technology on ubuntu gutsy? [06:04] veejan738, I don't see it on their site. Which version ? [06:04] for example SSL now , its not working in Firefox , and many others [06:05] 2.3.1 [06:05] brb [06:05] tt__: Ouch [06:05] dsnyders, something like: s;^\(.*\)/\([^/][^/]*$\);mv \1/\2 /new/path/\2; [06:05] marshall , dont put much hope on your infrad , your linux might not regonize it without driver [06:05] I have my horizontal panel set to 50 pixels and Pidgin is the only icon in the notification area that gets enlarged. [06:05] Is there any way to fix this? [06:05] sethk: that's a nasty looking sed command [06:05] how does one conect to a broadboand conection? sth involving the ISP name and user and password... [06:05] program you linux box to change channels in the tv' at the tv outlets :) [06:05] tt____: The lib32 packages, I just installed from Synaptic. Haven't had any problems with video. Using 64-bit, of course. [06:05] clearzen the problem was stupid / (i forget and i wrote it , which replace many of my /lib in /lib32) [06:05] clearzen, true. new style regex's are not quite so ugly, but sed doesn't understand them AFAIK [06:06] I'm trying to add an extra drive to my system that will serve as my /home folder. Should i format it as a primary or extended partition? [06:06] sethk, I think I got hung up on using sed. I could do a search/replace in vi and get the same effect. [06:06] I have my horizontal panel set to 50 pixels and Pidgin is the only icon in the notification area that gets enlarged. Is there any way to fix this? [06:06] swuboo , its just mplayer thats the only thing you might suffer (but someone here said there is now lib-64 codecs for it) [06:06] i am more here to gather as much info as i can, before i go messing with any settings. i would like to see what issues people are having, before i have them myself. [06:06] alguém do brasil [06:06] alguém do brasil pra da uma ajuda [06:06] tt____: mplayer works flawlessly for me. [06:06] ? [06:06] dsnyders, indeed; in fact, that is a vi search/replace I gave you. the : is the command line, and then 1,$ means first line to last line [06:07] clearzen, oh but i hav the 32bit version too and thats the one ive always used..but i juzt got a new latop today and the system wont even load...any idea on whats happening with my system? [06:07] veejan738, all I get is the various site lists no matter what I choose. [06:07] kdkfj: #ubuntu-br, #ubuntu-pr? [06:07] I have my horizontal panel set to 50 pixels and Pidgin is the only icon in the notification area that gets enlarged. Is there any way to fix this? [06:07] clearzen, oh but i hav the 32bit version too and thats the one ive always used..but i juzt got a new latop today and the system wont even load...any idea on whats happening with my system? [06:07] mplayer is working ok for me now, the only problems are have are slow frame rate playing real media and windows media files [06:07] andresj: tem ninguem no ubuntu-br [06:07] i was on another IRC, and them people were not only, XTREMELY rude, but didnt help even close to what all you are [06:07] cho tentar o ubuntu-pt [06:07] vlw [06:07] dannyboy20: what part of the boot is it hanging on? do you know? [06:07] veejan738, did you see sethk's comment also ? [06:07] llast time i tried , it couldn't load win32 dlls (YES IT WORKS AND CAN PLAY BUT NO , you cannot load win32) as in the last time i tried it [06:07] I have my horizontal panel set to 50 pixels and Pidgin is the only icon in the notification area that gets enlarged. Is there any way to fix this? [06:07] sethk, yes, I see. I guess I need to brush up on my regexp-fu [06:07] is it possible to use exaile as default audio cd player? [06:07] I have my horizontal panel set to 50 pixels and Pidgin is the only icon in the notification area that gets enlarged. Is there any way to fix this? [06:08] hmmm [06:08] dannyboy20, try doing a reconfiguration of the x configuration. I use dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg although there is a newer way that I never remember [06:08] I have my horizontal panel set to 50 pixels and Pidgin is the only icon in the notification area that gets enlarged. Is there any way to fix this? [06:08] clearzen, right when its about to boot up...the very last part [06:08] http://www.icecast.org/download.php [06:08] dannyboy20: go into the kernel options on the cd before you boot and erase the quiet and splash options so you can see the command line output [06:08] I have my horizontal panel set to 50 pixels and Pidgin is the only icon in the notification area that gets enlarged. Is there any way to fix this? [06:08] Alright, I need help.... [06:08] well? [06:08] just an question , the 32 libs , it is ONE pkg or mmore? [06:08] dsnyders, you need that "not /" stuff because the regex's are maximal. In newer things like python or ruby you can specify maximal or minimal. [06:09] I have my horizontal panel set to 50 pixels and Pidgin is the only icon in the notification area that gets enlarged. Is there any way to fix this? [06:09] andre_sj: poxa em nenhum dos dois canais ninguem responde [06:09] srs [06:09] clearzen, right when it gets ready to load the windows system...thats when the screen goes all weird and stuff... [06:09] i will take my chance , and i will reinstall every things [06:09] I really wanna know the answer [06:09] I have my horizontal panel set to 50 pixels and Pidgin is the only icon in the notification area that gets enlarged. Is there any way to fix this? [06:09] i just got this IRC client, and when i go into any other room i cant see anyone talking, even if there are people in there... [06:09] andresj: ei cara vc poderia mim ajudar [06:09] I have my horizontal panel set to 50 pixels and Pidgin is the only icon in the notification area that gets enlarged. Is there any way to fix this? [06:09] what? [06:09] ... [06:10] veejan738, okay I got it, let me open and see what gives. [06:10] dannyboy20: I can't help you unless you can provide some CLI output when it hangs. It could be a number of things [06:10] andresj: nem é mei que ajuda é que o ubuntu ta com um comportamento estranho to sem intender direito [06:10] sethk, I also need a % in front of the substitute command in order to catch the whole file. [06:10] zax_: what channels [06:10] hwo does one connect to ADSl? [06:10] I have my horizontal panel set to 50 pixels and Pidgin is the only icon in the notification area that gets enlarged. Is there any way to fix this? [06:10] clearzen, i hav and nvidia video card on an amd turion64... [06:10] Gearsmith: tried restarting x? [06:10] !repeat | Gearsmith [06:10] Gearsmith: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [06:10] kdkf: no hablo portugues [06:10] bazhang: very literally, anyothers.... [06:10] like at all. [06:10] dsnyders, no, there is no need for %, at least not the way I wrote the regex [06:10] Any channel in the Ubuntu server works [06:10] zax_: for example? [06:10] Restarting X doesn't work. [06:10] anyone know , how long it wil ltake to reinstall every things installed in ubuntu? [06:11] gearsmith- is your panel locked [06:11] is it possible to use exaile as default audio cd player? [06:11] andresj: srs ok1 mesmo assim muchas gracias [06:11] Is there a way to resize the tray icons sizes? [06:11] example: server ircnet #chat [06:11] nothing works. [06:11] sethk, I just tried it, and only one line changed. [06:11] Gearsmith, normally it involves the .jpg images it uses and for some apps the icon .jpeg is smaller or bigger [06:11] for my install of ubuntu, it only took around 1/2 hour to 45 mins [06:11] sethk, cut and pasted from xchat to vi [06:11] dsnyders, then you didn't enter what I said. starting with :1,$s ..... [06:11] soldats: png, not jpg [06:11] that was my first install [06:11] What is the directory for Pidgin? If I knew what that was I could go in and change it. [06:12] dsnyders, I just did it here to make sure [06:12] zax_: a real example would be helpful; can you access #fedora ? [06:12] gearsmith you should be able to change sizes in your panel [06:12] is it possible to use exaile as default audio cd player? [06:12] lemme try... [06:12] crdlb, err yea my state of mind is not "sober" [06:12] Does anyone know what the directory for Pidgin is? [06:12] veejan738, I did the ./configure and got this -- >>> configure: error: XSLT configuration could not be found [06:12] dsnyders, you can also do :g/whatever/s..... [06:12] So now I need find XSLT [06:13] ah- there was something at the end of ./configure [06:13] Gearsmith, maybe ~/.pidgin or do "locate pidgin" in terminal and look around [06:13] that was an eror [06:13] error [06:13] errr locate pidgin | less [06:13] yes it was [06:14] veejan738, I'mm looking in kpackage for XSLT. [06:14] there was something too on my ./configure [06:14] Gearsmith, should be in /usr/bin [06:14] when i installed ubuntu, i chose not to have a swap file, being i have 1 gig memory. can i change this later on, if need be ? [06:15] sethk, Ah! I see. However, the :1,$ was not the original line, but you did state it later. [06:15] maybe I have to start over from the beginning again- rm it and start over? [06:15] dsnyders, ok, sorry, I didn't realize that [06:15] so [06:15] sethk, no worries. It's the part AFTER the s that's the important bit. [06:15] misslecomander , yes you could [06:15] vejan738: if you are compiling is would be make clean [06:15] dsnyders, yes. [06:15] simply by using mkswap [06:16] can anybody tell me what can i do about this? besides mayb gettin another laptop [06:16] thank you [06:16] i tried to do '(forward slash)join #fedora) and it said 'You need to be identified to join this channel" [06:16] dsnyders, you can use the command history in vim to play with it until you get it right [06:16] !mkswap [06:16] veejan738, well I'm looking for the XSLT file needed by version 2.3.1, let me see what I come up with. [06:16] Sorry, I don't know anything about mkswap - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [06:16] dsnyders, if, at the : (in vim) you use up arrow, you get the preceding command [06:16] zax_, register your nick name [06:16] I am such a noob, how? [06:16] zax_: how about #suse ? [06:16] vejan738, when you do ./configure does it end with an error message ? [06:16] zax_: /msg nickserv help register [06:16] Hey can someone help me debug sleep mode on my laptop? [06:16] dannyboy20: turn off quiet and splash on the boot options for the kernel. then come back with a output of the error you get or where it hangs [06:17] sethk, thanks a bunch. [06:17] that worked i am in suse, [06:17] zax_, /nickserv register [06:17] soldats: email isn't needed [06:17] but i cant see what anyone is saying despite having 230 users... [06:17] Starnestommy, yea i know [06:17] dsnyders, np. command history in vim saves me _lots_ of typing and not everyone knows it's there. (It's only there in the gui version, by the way) [06:17] well I'm going back to the beginning and remove it- [06:17] zax_: they might all be away from their keyboards [06:17] Ok. I will keep working on it. [06:18] zax_: some of those channels are less busy; ask a question and wait a few and see if you get a response [06:18] so 232 people are simultaneously away? [06:18] Starnestommy, connect a tazer to each person, and fire it remotely. that'll get them back to their keyboards. :) [06:18] I know there was an error at the end of ./configure, but I had a brain fart going on [06:18] zax_: many are idle [06:18] sethk, I'm not sure it'll be much help, though, unless I can undo a global substitute [06:18] !vim [06:18] so must be missing somethin [06:18] Text Editors: gedit (GNOME), Kate (KDE), mousepad (Xfce4) | Terminal-based editors: vi/vim, emacs, and nano (user-friendly). | HTML/CSS editors: !html | Programming: !code [06:19] dsnyders, :1,$ is the same thing in a slightly different syntax. It means "from line one to the last line" [06:19] I already tried asking and waiting in four different rooms... [06:19] zax_, soldats: Why not make a new channel and see if you can hear each other in it? [06:19] I am having trouble waking my laptop up from sleep mode, does anybody have the skills to help me debug this? [06:19] zax_: many of them are dead--it is the middle of night for many of them [06:19] zax_, wait, if you can't see what people are saying, how are you reading this? [06:19] !game [06:19] Sorry, I don't know anything about game - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [06:19] swuboo, what was the point in saying that [06:20] they WERE all away... [06:20] on just answered... [06:20] soldats: Simple. He can't hear anything in #fedora, but that might be because they were all away. [06:20] i was telling him how to register to join fedora [06:20] <---idiot [06:20] blah - just finished putting together my new machine... and it doesn't power on. lame. [06:20] swuboo: no you need to register there [06:20] zax_, be polite, even to yourself. That's _Mr. Idiot_ :) [06:20] zax_, probably a server hickup. [06:20] never had that problem before. [06:21] mattholimeau, got the on/off switch connected to the right mobo pins? [06:21] soldats: I know. But he said he joined fedora and no one was talking. So, therefore, if you two had a private channel, you could be absolutely sure the other people in it, i.e. each other, were not idle. [06:21] lol,, thanks guys. [06:21] i checked the internal panel connectors... they're all correct [06:21] yeah [06:21] that was my first thought [06:21] swuboo: not without being registered there, which he is not [06:21] mattholimeau, don't mean to be insulting, but I have no way of knowing how much you know [06:21] hi everyone === cwillu_ is now known as cwillu [06:21] mattholimeau, some mobos have a green led that lights up when it is seeing power from the power supply [06:21] sethk: hah - not insulting at all, completely rational. usually it's the stupid thing [06:21] bazhang: I understood him to say he had successfully registered. Perhaps I was wrong. [06:21] i have a question about calendars [06:22] yep - XSLT configuration could not be found [06:22] sethk: yep - that too. lots of pretty blue lights inside, actually [06:22] sethk: it just doesn't power on. [06:22] i want a calendar that shows up on my desktop can i do that with the evolution calendar? [06:22] sorry I missed that in the beginning [06:22] swuboo: perhaps you were :} [06:22] mattholimeau, ok, that's helpful, as we know the power supply is getting juice and sending it to the mobo. [06:22] swuboo, im not idle, i was merely trying to get him/her connected to the channel. no offense but me and you can drop this randomness and get back to halping [06:22] sethk: i saw the blue lights and thought "sweeet"... hit the button and went "awww... shit." [06:22] Hello, I am using Gutsy, what happened to Xorg's -query option ? I can't use it anymore ! [06:23] i have a question about calendars [06:23] !ohmy | mattholimeau [06:23] mattholimeau, possibly dumb question number 2: is there a separate power connector for the processor and, if so, is it on? [06:23] mattholimeau: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [06:23] i want a calendar that shows up on my desktop can i do that with the evolution calendar? [06:23] mattholimeau, also, if the processor fan is not sensed it won't power up, so check those connections. [06:23] soldats: We're simply miscommunicating. I agree, let's drop it. [06:23] ubotu: sorry [06:23] It's ok, I can't stay mad at you. [06:23] veejan738, ok. I'm having same troble with the XSLT thing. But, I'm using kpackage to help me locate it. [06:23] i have a question about calendars [06:23] i want a calendar that shows up on my desktop can i do that with the evolution calendar? [06:23] erm, nevermind [06:23] swuboo, :) i agree as well. [06:23] processor fan is connected... i know there were two power supply spots that both got plugged in [06:23] Hi! can someone help me fix wireless network (intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG)? In restricted drivers, I see that the driver is enabled (in use), but I don't have a wireless section in gnome network manager (just wired- and modem connection) [06:23] mattholimeau, just for future reference, ubotu is a chat script. You don't need to reply to it. [06:24] what am i to do when then top part of a window disappears off the top of the screen ? [06:24] dsnyders: hahaha, yes, i realized. i apologized for fun. thanks though. [06:24] dsnyders, on the other hand, there is no rule saying he can't respond. :) [06:24] How do I change the permissions of a folder that only allows for permissions change as root? [06:24] hatter_ do you mean that the bar with your menu for apps is gone? [06:24] Is there any way to ajust screensaver settings in gnome? [06:24] mattholimeau, sounds like you checked the obvious stuff already. [06:24] dsnyders: it was a way of apologizing to the room - i laughed when it responded. [06:24] hatter_: If you right click on the program's entry on the taskbar, there should be an option for "Move", which will allow you to get it back onto the screen. [06:25] lol [06:25] i want a calendar that shows up on my desktop can i do that with the evolution calendar? [06:25] sethk: yeah - i've built a few of them now. [06:25] True. I'm reminded of a Star Trek TNG episode where an ensign thanks the food dispenser. [06:25] veejan738, ok. now I get this message -- >> configure: error: must have Ogg Vorbis v1.0 or above installed [06:25] Gnome teminal reports: "sudo: pam_authenticate: Conversation error; :" There is no prompt. Why can I not terminate this 'conversation' by ^C? How can I terminate this 'conversation'? [06:25] hey who knows something about init.d? i added my own script and its not executing. any idea why? it works fine if i /etc/init.d/foo start [06:25] How do I change permissions for /usr/share/pixmaps/pidgin/tray/48 if only root can change permissions? [06:25] mattholimeau, got a spare processor to try? [06:25] Gearsmith: sudo chmod -R 0755 /path/to/file. basically use sudo [06:25] EADG: yes there is [06:25] Gearsmith, sudo [06:25] i want a calendar that shows up on my desktop can i do that with the evolution calendar? [06:25] sethk: but, it could always be something stupid [06:25] Gearsmith, or become root [06:25] veejan738, that is after installing 34 files for XSLT using kpackage...... [06:25] sethk: nope - only bought one. [06:25] veejan738, so let me work on that part now. [06:25] mattholimeau, if there is more than one memory stick, take all out except one. [06:25] EADG: goto system, prefrences, then screensaver [06:26] mike4785: I'm not sure if Evolution will let you do that, but you may want to look into screenlets. [06:26] mattholimeau, these are unlikely suggestions, but I'm out of good suggestions :) [06:26] Spee_Der- found the answer [06:26] sethk: good ideas both though - i'll look into them [06:26] sethk: yeah - there are so many tiny things that could be wrong, it's not even funny [06:26] It still won't let me edit the permissions of /usr/share/pixmaps/pidgin/tray/48 because it says I need to be root. [06:26] mattholimeau, if you have a multimeter, you may want to check the switch itself. [06:26] reeeh2000: looking. [06:26] Gearsmith, edit with sudo [06:27] mattholimeau, a DOA mobo is not unheard of [06:27] How do I edit the permissions with sudo? [06:27] dsnyders: that i wouldn't know how to do... i know the general principle, but never got good at that type of testing [06:27] sethk: i guess neither is a DOA processor [06:27] it requires some packagess like libxml2- libxslt-curl-ogg/vorbis [06:27] mattholimeau, It's a long shot anyways. [06:27] mattholimeau, if you have the right size jumper, connect it to the place where the power switch goes. [06:27] mattholimeau, all the power switch does is connect the two pins [06:27] Gearsmith, "gksudo gedit /path/to/file" in terminal ort open nautilus via "gksudo nautilus" in command line [06:28] veejan738. Good deal. I am getting those now also. The will re-do ./configure. Good luck mate. [06:28] Thanks for your help [06:28] mattholimeau, an IDE jumper is typically the same size as the power switch connector. [06:28] hey who knows something about init.d? i added my own script and its not executing. any idea why? it works fine if i /etc/init.d/foo start [06:28] reeeh2000: Now how do I adjust settings for, lets say, glmatrix? [06:28] mattholimeau: If you don't have an appropriate jumper, as sethk is suggesting---try using a coin. [06:28] sethk: i think i may have that jumper somewhere... [06:28] reeeh2000: Now how do I adjust settings on, say, glmatrix? [06:28] mattholimeau, worth a try, easy to check. [06:29] Uh, soldats, I need to change the permission of a directory and it won't let me do that. [06:29] yeah [06:29] tsukasa_: you need to link it into the runlevel system, and where depends on what it does [06:29] veejan738, ok. I got thru ./configure okay, now doing make [06:29] mike4785, yes the bar is gone [06:29] mattholimeau, some power supplies have a 120/240V switch on the back. Make sure yours is set properly. [06:29] Gearsmith, what directory [06:29] Gearsmith, use sudo. We told you that already [06:29] nickrud, it starts synergy, and how do i link it to the runlevel system [06:29] swuboo, thx, move changes the icon to a hand, but then it wont let me move it [06:30] Sudo what? "sudo" by itself won't let me change the permissions. [06:30] soldats: /usr/share/pixmaps/pidgin/tray/48 [06:30] is there anyone here that is good with the ubuntu screen savers? [06:30] Gearsmith, sudo chmod, since you want to use chmod [06:30] nickrud, it needs to start before the login screen, which is why i made it an init.d [06:30] EADG: did you find it? [06:30] like what apache is [06:30] Gearsmith, are you using terminal [06:30] EADG: opps sry [06:30] Yeah. [06:30] there's a 115 and a ... 230? [06:30] veejan738, went thru make and make install all okay. It is working here. [06:31] mattholimeau, that's the one. [06:31] reeeh2000: Yes, found the app, don't see anywhere to change individual screensaver setting though. [06:31] hatter_: Try maximizing it, then, in the same way. [06:31] my current machine is on 115, and it was on 115 when i got it... so, i'm assuming i want to keep it on 115? [06:31] Gearsmith, just put sudo at the front of the command you used before to try and change the permissions (the one that said you can't) [06:31] there used to be a feature in the old ubuntu screensaver application that let you configure each screensaver and also the random option at some point they removed that feature does anyone know how to get that feature back [06:31] I'm not using a command. I'm right clicking and going to the Permissions tab. [06:31] Gearsmith, "su" in terminal will make you root. then naviagate to the directory and gedit the file [06:31] mattholimeau: 115/120 is standard in the United States, if that helps. [06:31] i'd think if that voltage is wrong then it wouldn't even light the mobo [06:31] mattholimeau, yes. North america uses 115 , Europe uses 230 [06:31] aha - thanks. [06:32] cute_bettong: I'm looking for that too. No luck yet. [06:32] EADG: what are you trying to chang, GLmatrix isnt adjustable [06:32] tsukasa_: take a look at ls -l /etc/rc2.d , that's the links (and startup order) into /etc/init.d. You'll see that gdm is S30 , you'll want it to start before then. If it doesn't depend on anything started before that, make it as early as possible [06:32] I'm not trying to edit particular files, I'm trying to change the permissions of the entire directory. [06:32] mattholimeau, most of the newer power supplies can auto sense 110/220 [06:32] aha [06:32] EADG_: i don't even remember what it was called..i thought it was gdm_screensaver or something like that... [06:32] mattholimeau, plus if it were wrong you would smell burning silicon :) [06:32] Gearsmith, sudo chmod 777 /path/to/dir" [06:32] ah , i was trying to move it from the workspace switcher, i just found the taskbar [06:33] reeeh2000: Hmm, thought it was on Dapper, lets try Euphoria. [06:33] dont you just love the smell of burning computer parts ? [06:33] EADG_: where would the screensaver prefrences be stored on the hard drive? [06:33] how do i install this http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=132142 [06:33] How much compression can I expect out of bzip (eg 20% 40%) [06:33] EADG_: mebbie the settings to change can be found in there [06:33] great, move worked :) thx [06:34] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingSoftware [06:34] clearzen, depends on the type of file you are compressing. For pure text it might be as high as 75%. For binary it might be as low as 25% [06:34] hatter_: Sure thing. [06:34] soldats, putting sudo chmod 777 /usr/share/pixmaps/pidgin/tray in terminal did absolutely nothing. [06:34] sethk: thanks [06:34] EADG: possibly, i havnt used anything before feisty [06:34] Gearsmith, did it just skip to a new line ie. name@name$ [06:34] nickrud, okay so ill make it like S29. i dont need any of these complex switches like what S25bluetooth has, so whats the basic syntax? anything i put there gets executed, so /etc/init.d/foo start will work? [06:34] * Spee_Der is going back to bed, good night all. [06:34] could ipv6 be slowing down the samba network ? [06:34] Gearsmith, that's not possible. It can print another command prompt without showing you a message, but that is a huge distance away from doing "absolutely nothing" [06:35] Yes. [06:35] how do i format my samsung usb mp3 player? [06:35] Gearsmith, it should have worked then [06:35] EADG: I believe that most of the new screen savers are designed not to need adjustmant [06:35] Gearsmith, if it did absolutely nothing, you would see nothing, your screen wouldn't change, you wouldn't get the next prompt line, etc. [06:35] Gearsmith, check via nautilus then and make sure [06:35] Gearsmith, most CLI command only print something if an error occurs. [06:36] EADG: which is why there is no preference button [06:36] grrr... sorry guys, my wifi is acting up. [06:36] tsukasa_: you should install rcconf , and use that to set up the links. [06:36] join radeonhd [06:36] It didn't work. I still can't edit the permissions. [06:36] tsukasa_: once you have it installed, if it's not clear to you I'll walk you thru it [06:36] Gearsmith, I don't know what you mean by "editing the permissions". running chmod _is_ changing the permissions. [06:37] ... [06:37] nickrud, actually it was very straightforward. thanks [06:37] Gearsmith: You could try running the command, "gksudo nautilus" [06:37] i have install unbuntu server 7.10 on raid 0 and have 3 other hard drive I would like to software raid 5. can someone point me to a guide? [06:37] Gearsmith, why do you need to change permissions anyways? if you need to edit a file just use sudo or su type root pass then edit as necessary [06:37] tsukasa_: yw [06:38] Gearsmith: That will open Nautilus as root, which will allow you to change whatever permissions you want from inside the Nautilus GUI. [06:38] cute_bettong: there is a config file for glmatrix in /usr/share/xscreensaver/config/glmatrix.xml [06:38] soldats, sudo needs the user's password, _not_ the root password [06:38] !raid [06:38] Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [06:38] sethk, i said su not sudo [06:39] soldats, he can become root, but then you simply use su by itself and get another prompt, and type the command at the new prompt [06:39] Nautilus worked. [06:39] i was wondering if i could get some help from anyone familiar with wine? [06:39] Thanks. [06:39] Gearsmith: Quite welcome. [06:39] EADG_: theres gotta be a config file for each of the screensavers even the random option right? i wonder if we find the random options settings if we cannot tweak them from there? [06:40] is anyone familiar with the wine/steam combination? [06:40] sethk, dont worry about it anymore. he/she is getting it to work [06:40] i dont want conflict :) [06:40] soldats, I'm not worried in the least. :) [06:41] soldats, although I might be worried about whether I'm worried. :) [06:41] 0o lol [06:41] if i try to rmmod ipv6 i get an error: module ipv6 is in use by nf_conntrack_h232 how can i remove the ipv6 module ? [06:41] help plz?! [06:41] hatter_, you can't, once it is in use. why do you want to remove it? [06:41] Sol, check in #winehq [06:41] channel [06:41] ah thanks [06:42] how could i find out the frequency my processor is operating, at, i think it may be underclocked ? [06:42] So, anyone got any notion why clicking the logout button hangs gnome for me? [06:42] theryre more of wine specialists [06:42] sethk, i am suffering from network slowness, i have tried different nics, switches, the only thing in common between two boxezs suffering the same thing is gutsy-server [06:42] swuboo, try cat /proc/cpuinfo [06:42] ahha yeah [06:42] anyone know how i would go about sharing an internet connection with two other networks [06:42] i ahve it working with one network, but it wont work with 2 === lkthomas_ is now known as lkthomas [06:42] sethk: Sure you didn't mean that for shasbot? [06:42] hatter_, it's possible to turn ipv6 off, but it takes a reboot (one of the few cases) [06:42] damn, gzip made a backup of my system using only 1GB of space. [06:42] swuboo, probably I did, sorry [06:43] sethk, so i am pulling out my hair, and wondering if ipv6 could have anything to do with it [06:43] shasbot, try cat /proc/cpuinfo [06:43] mmk, thanks sethk [06:43] sethk: Quite alright. [06:43] hatter_, If the traffic between one of the gutsy servers and an IPV4 machine is normal speed, then it could be a factor. I've not encountered a case where it's dramatically slower, but most of my network is strictly ipv4 [06:44] sethk, is the cpu mhz the actual or intended? [06:44] shasbot, let me check [06:44] sethk, its a small file server with samba [06:44] If I click the logout button, absolutely nothing comes up, but I lose my ability to interact with windows or GNOME itself, short of Ctrl-Alt-Backspace. [06:44] hatter_, see if the rount trip time for a ping is higher gutsy to gutsy than gutsy to one of the windows boxes [06:44] anyone know what kernel modules are needed to get a SCSI tape drive working? i was running a stock 6.0.6.1 LTS kernel and my tape drive worked fine. when I rebooted into a Xen kernel, the tape drive was no longer detected. any ideas? [06:45] Gnome teminal reports: "sudo: pam_authenticate: Conversation error; :" There is no prompt. Why can I not terminate this 'conversation' by ^C? How can I terminate this 'conversation'? [06:45] sethk, yesterday i was getting network speed of 512 KBps using netcat between windows and gutsy [06:45] bullgard4: close the terminal [06:45] swuboo, there was a bug in it IIRC check the launchpad [06:45] berto-, there is a scsi tape module. [06:45] sethk, when it should be 8MBps [06:45] soldats: Thanks, I'll take a look. [06:45] hatter_, I doubt that all of that performance gap could be ipv6. [06:45] sethk: yeah the st module. i have that one and even ran "modprobe st" to load it up ... nothing showed up in dmesg. [06:45] hatter_, that's a factor of, what, 16? [06:46] nickrud: I don't like your idea. It happens only in one tab. I need the other Gnome tabs yet. [06:46] sethk, me too, i have run out of things to do [06:46] berto-, modprobe didn't give you any nasty messages? [06:46] cute_bettong: found a solution on ubuntu-forums. Do a seach for "screensaver settings gutsy" Look at 7th post (how to adjust .... finally) [06:46] bullgard4: then close that tab only [06:46] hatter_, let me think for a moment. This is what I do for a living, but it's 1:46 AM here and my brain is nearly shut down. :) [06:46] sethk: nope, ran w/o squaking. === vishnu_ is now known as geometrik [06:47] sethk, this is what i do for a living too, any thoughts appreciated, otherwise i am driving 2.5Hours to the box tomorrow :( [06:47] sethk: lsmod shows the module is loaded, but "in use" is 0. [06:47] berto-, Not sure what's going on. If it were a kernel build issue I would expect modprobe to complain. You might check the kernel configuration file in /boot [06:47] aloo [06:47] berto-, well, in use 0 is normal when the tape drive hasn't been detected [06:47] berto-, try loading the module and then turning on the tape drive [06:47] Where is Nautilus located under in Applications? [06:47] berto-, or the other way around. whichever one you aren't doing :) [06:47] sethk: what would i look for in /boot? also, is there some way i can kick the kernel into reprobing the hardware to see if it finds it? [06:48] slt [06:48] nickrud: Well, that I would call a 'dirty' solution. -- Thank you, anyway. [06:48] hello [06:48] sethk: the tape drive is internal, plugged directly into the PSU. [06:48] berto-, the installer puts a configuration file for the installed kernel in /boot. For example, config-2.6.23-386 [06:48] Where is Nautilus located under in Applications? [06:48] how do i install this http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=132142 [06:48] berto-, the ending is whatever ending you see with uname -a [06:48] there's not french [06:49] sethk, do you use the 7.10 gutsy server ? [06:49] Gearsmith, i think admin or system [06:49] brandonD: what is it? [06:49] It entertains me that ubuntu has so many users on this server. [06:49] Gearsmith: it's hidden; if you want to see it right click the menu bar and select edit, it's under accessories as file browser [06:49] hatter_, yes, on one of my machines at work [06:49] !fr | g9c1 [06:49] g9c1: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais. [06:49] hatter_, but I'm not at work at the moment (obviously) [06:49] LibertyShadow, it has the most doesn't it? [06:50] sethk: CONFIG_SCSI_SATA=m [06:50] hatter_, I'll be there in about 8 hours or so, then we could compare things and see if something on your box looks suspicious. [06:50] Yes sir. [06:50] I introduced myself to Ubuntu last april. [06:50] berto-, SATA isn't what we need here for a scsi drive. But if it were missing I'd expect unresolved externals. [06:51] bullgard4: yeah, it's a dirty solution but it's the only one I've found that works there [06:51] sethk: i put st into /etc/modules (for the next reboot), but this box is NFS serving home directories and i'd rather not take it down for a reboot. [06:51] sethk, thx for the offer, I will be here, it will be midnight where i am [06:51] LibertyShadow: support question? or just want to chat? [06:51] hatter_, k [06:51] are you using samba at work ? [06:51] sethk: i think i led you astray. this is an SATA tape drive. [06:51] berto-, reboot won't fix it anyway [06:51] bazhang, moto4lin its a program to hack my phone [06:51] nickrud: Ok, thank you for your information. [06:51] berto-, oh, ok. you still need scsi tape support, but you already loaded it. [06:51] sethk: yep. [06:51] bazhang: Sorry, I am new to irc, I am just overwhelmed with the possibilities... I will be quiet. [06:52] berto-, there are utilities to force a reread of a real scsi bus, but I don't know whether there is a similar one for sata emulating scsi [06:52] what should i use to compress rar files? [06:52] brandonD: have you tried internet search/ubuntuforums? that would be your best bet imp [06:52] from the commandline [06:52] sethk: if i pull the plug on the tape and plug it back in, will that do? ;) [06:52] LibertyShadow: perhaps you would enjoy #ubuntu-offtopic more :} [06:52] bazhang, if i wanted to do that i wouldve] [06:52] sethk: though, a reboot is a lot safer than that. hehe. [06:52] Why thank you! [06:53] berto-, theoretically it can't hurt, but the signal cable lines might be bouncing. [06:53] brandonD: this is your first stop? :} [06:54] bazhang, he's gone, and not missed. :) [06:54] if i'm using (rw,sync) on an NFS share and i reboot, will the NFS clients stay alive and continue to work properly after the reboot? [06:54] sethk, your vi command worked wonders. vi even keeps command history between sessions. Sweet! [06:54] sethk: ah so :} [06:54] dsnyders, great. :) [06:55] dsnyders: what's the vi magic you speak of? [06:55] sethk, I even found this :g/^/exe ":s/^/".line(".")."^I/" to add the line numbers. [06:55] soldats: You were right, there's an open high priority bug describing exactly my problem. [06:55] sethk, not gone and i dont give a **** if you miss me [06:56] !ohmy | brandonD [06:56] brandonD: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [06:56] brandonD, so glad you told me that, makes my entire evening. [06:56] is there a version of ubuntu like puppy or dsl? for usb drive [06:56] berto-, sethk helped me tweak a file with some powerful regular expression processing. [06:56] swuboo, hope you get it solved, i havet looked at the bug in a long time so im not so sure how to fix it [06:56] there should be a fix though? [06:56] cute_bettong, reeeh2000: Looks like the settings option was taken out for Gutsy. Here is a fix. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=637528&highlight=screensaver+settings+gutsy [06:57] soldats: There were several different workarounds mentioned. None of them looked applicable to my situation. [06:57] helloo [06:57] is there a version of ubuntu like puppy or dsl? boot from usb [06:57] my volume controls (increase and decrease) on HP laptop is not working, [06:57] soldats: I guess I'll live. I mean, Ctrl-Alt-Backspace functionally drops me back onto the login screen, so I can reboot or shutdown from there. In the end, it's not really a huge deal, just annoying. [06:58] it was working fine but yesterday, how can i reconfigure them ? [06:58] ubun2, check http://www.pendrivelinux.com/ [06:58] ubun2: I saw a link yesterday for ubuntulite, goole that. [06:58] swuboo, true, well i prefer command line anyways so im used to it. hope you remember th e commands [06:58] :) [06:58] thanks [06:58] EADG_: thanks for the link [06:59] hi, i have windows in one hard drive and ubuntu in the second one, i want to add windows to the GRUB menu... (i installed ubuntu with the first hard drive disconnected) [06:59] thanks... ubuntu rulez! windows suck [07:00] no bashin please [07:00] bashing [07:00] nimnrod, ok, that's generally easy to do. "info grub" has an example [07:00] soldats: Heh. I remember plenty of commands. They're just all for DOS. [07:00] i have three network cards in my ubuntu machine. One is connected to the internet and the other two are connected to two different private networks. How would i set up internet connection sharing to work with both the cards for internal networks [07:00] i can make it work with one [07:00] sethk: ok, let me check that... if not i'll let you know [07:00] but not both [07:01] swuboo, use cygwin or a similar package, so you can get reasonable syntax for windows CLI [07:01] sethk: Naw, I'm all right. If I really need to find a specific CLI command, I'll google it on another computer. Or, if I'm really desperate, call up a friend and make them google it. [07:01] I'm having some trouble with ndiswrapper. I got a Linksys WMP54G 4.1 today, trying to set it up and having no luck. I've installed ndiswrapper-common and *-utils off my kubuntu disk (no network connection, of course), and installed the driver. ndiswrapper -l says that the driver and hardware is installed, but when I run sudo modprobe ndiswrapper it gives me an error saying that 'ndiswrapper.ko' is not found. [07:02] swuboo, lol, dont hesitate to ask for anything if you neeed to [07:02] swuboo, just trying to make your windows experience less painful. :) [07:02] what is the best way to burn dvd's [07:02] Much obliged, both of you. [07:02] anybody know? [07:03] Nurlo, do lsmod if ndiswrapper is in the list, it is loaded. Probably need to rerun depmod so modprobe can find it, but that won't solve your problem. [07:03] hello does anyone here know a download manager to run on gnome and can deal with firefox? e.g. you click on the link to dl (from FF) and then the DM starts downloading... [07:03] Rodolfo, firefox has one [07:03] Hi everyone, I need help with fixing my partitions [07:03] rodolfo try this question in #firefox there are plugins to do that [07:04] umm [07:04] sethk: Well, I mean, ndiswrapper.ko doesn't exist. [07:04] soldats: built-in? [07:04] Nurlo, if the -l shows the interface, then it must exist [07:04] Does anyone know how to restore the bootloader when it says "NTLDR is missing"? [07:04] gunashekar: thanks [07:04] Rodolfo, normally in FF when you download something a download manager pops up and notifies youwhen the download is done [07:05] Rodolfo: try DownThemAll Firefox add-on. [07:05] Rodolfo, tools > downloads [07:05] sethk: "FATAL: Could not open '/lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/misc/ndiswrapper.ko': No such file or directory". And I've cd'd to the directory and ls'd it, there is simply nothing there. [07:05] berto-: is it available at firefox's addons page? [07:05] Rodolfo: yep. [07:06] sethk: i can't understand how can i apply the info i got with "grub info" (im trying to add windows into the grub menu but its in another hard drive) [07:06] Nurlo, that's not the directory where it should be. Do the lsmod command first, then we'll know what we are talking about [07:06] soldats: i want to schedule some downloads, i mean a program to do that automatically [07:06] i had a dual boot between windows and ubuntu and my windows partition came up with the BSOD when I tried to boot into it so yesterday I tried to fix it. Someone told me to use "fixboot c:" and I did that. afterwards, it came up with "NTLDR is missing" and I couldn't access either windows or ubuntu partition when I turned on my computer. I'm typing this from the ubuntu live CD right now. [07:06] sethk: lsmod doesn't show ndiswrapper either, of course. [07:06] Nurlo, you didn't say that, so far. [07:07] Rodolfo, ok well it was not so clear what you said earlier. check in plugins === dgtlchlk is now known as dgtl|screen [07:07] Is there a way to fix this situation? :( I really hope I haven't permanently lost all my files on my computer === dgtl|screen is now known as dgtlchlk [07:08] (and this is Veganarkismo from yesterday) [07:08] ooboon2: I'm not positive, but that sounds fixable. [07:08] on ubuntu what can provide a public folder [07:08] sethk: Anyway, that's where it's looking for it, so where is it so that I can copy it? [07:08] on ubuntu what can provide a public folder which can be used with mail clients. [07:09] swuboo: Thanks, that's reassuring [07:09] ooboon2: Fixboot c: makes windows rewrite the MBR for the C: drive. [07:09] :O [07:09] Nurlo, I would expect it in /lib/modules/..../kernel/drivers/... but, first, let's make sure it's on the machine in the first place. try: find / -name 'ndiswrapper.ko' [07:09] ooboon2: Which should have no effect on the data in any actual partition, I believe. [07:09] ooo i c [07:09] swuboo, correct [07:10] but why did it affect the ubuntu partition too when it's a windows file [07:10] ooboon2: It didn't. === Rikku is now known as Tidus [07:10] sethk, how do u like this : i have been able to change nics and now the speed is 8MBps, but the network is still slow , which means samba or kernel i guess [07:10] ooboon2: asksomeone else but i believe sudo grub-install /dev/sda will reinstall grub for you, but double check with someone else to see if this will help [07:10] seth: wait, I tried find, I think I got it. one sec [07:10] ooboon2, only the partition table is changed. The partition table is shared. [07:10] It just comes up with "NTLDR is missing" instead of the menu with "choose your OS" [07:10] sethk: I see [07:10] using netcat for measurement [07:10] hatter_, if changing nics did it, it has to be kernel, because samba is still samba. [07:10] ooboon2: Yes, Windows is looking for its own personal loader, which isn't there. [07:10] oh [07:11] I loose my wifi connection every time I switch to cli from X and vise versa, any suggestions? [07:11] sethk, agreed, the other common thing between this and the box that was slow is shorewall [07:11] Is there a way to fix it? I've tried Parted Magic but I'm not quite sure how to use it [07:11] 'the other box' [07:11] ooboon2: Reinstalling grub should fix the problem, although I doubt it will fix the underlying bluescreen issue with Windows. [07:11] swuboo: do you think sudo grub-intall /dev/sda would help ooboon2? [07:11] cant see how iptables could do this without specific b/w throttling [07:12] hatter_, it's not impossible that samba or shorewall is involved, but it's not likely either. [07:12] hatter_, sounds like, perhaps one NIC is using dma and the other was not. [07:12] swuboo: Thanks :D I'll try that [07:12] Reeeh2000: When i enter that, it says the command isn't found [07:13] sethk: huh, there's a copy in my trash somehow, but it was inside something different (tried to compile it, failed, so I got the .deb). Might not work, but I'll try it [07:13] this box is on 2.6.22-14-server [07:13] Nurlo, k [07:13] I'm not sure what the best way to restore grub would be. [07:13] on ubuntu what can provide a public folder which can be used with mail clients. [07:13] hatter_, I always replace the ubuntu kernel with one from kernel.org. It might be interesting to see what effect that has on the behavior. [07:14] all, have to walk my dog before he bursts, be back in about 10 [07:14] ooboon2:strang, are you booting from your first SATA harddisk? if not then the /dev/sta will be wrong [07:14] ooboon2: Did you copy and paste his command exactly? He said "intall" instead of "install" [07:14] sethk, yes, that is the next thing, there are a few other kernels available from the repos, linux-image-2.6.22-14-386 for exapmle [07:15] So you might want to try it /with/ the missing s. [07:15] ooooooh [07:15] what program should i use to transfer mp3's onto my portable usb mp3 player?? [07:15] or ...-generic [07:15] and which program to mass edit ID tags? [07:15] this is sad... my first day using Ubuntu and I'm already camping on the irc channel using Windows... Is there any rules against camping here? I'd probably learn faster by looking at irc chat logs when I wake up [07:15] swuboo: oops! [07:15] hatter_, true. I go with kernel.org because I'm writing new device drivers, but the repo kernels should be equally valid. [07:15] an easy way to reinstall grub is to use the super grub disk http://supergrub.forjamari.linex.org/ its worked well for me [07:15] SinNoAria: If there is a rule against it, there are probably about 1100 people in violation right now. [07:15] on ubuntu what can provide a public folder which can be used with mail clients. [07:16] ooboon2: now i fell silly [07:16] swuboo: reeh2000: It says "Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device. [07:16] " [07:16] !id3 [07:16] Sorry, I don't know anything about id3 - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [07:16] ooboon2: Is your hard drive mounted? [07:16] on ubuntu what can provide a public folder which can be used with mail clients. [07:16] Swuboo: I think so, how do I check? [07:17] Swuboo: Last time I used it was yesterday so i guess it's mounted [07:17] Sonja: Amorak works with ipods, I use gtkpod on my Touch. Not sure about mass tag editing. [07:17] On the main menu, resources, Computer. See if it's listed. [07:17] ooboon2: now where moving to where I can't help to much, i am learning by helping people, so ill leave you to Swuboo [07:17] <--- can't spell [07:17] oboon2: I missed some of the converstation but are you using Vista? I've faced the same problem with Vista [07:17] Reeeh2000, lol np, thanks anyway :) [07:18] Heh, I'm not exactly an old hand at this either, I'm just lucky enough to have had similar problems. [07:18] ooboon2: sure thing, good luck getting it fixed [07:19] ooboon2: Try opening a terminal and typing mount /dev/sda [07:19] ooboon2: the command sudo update-grub may help you reset grub, not sure though [07:19] Sonja: apt-cache search id tags editor returned these programs; eyed3, cowbell, exfalso, id3, id3ed, id3v2, kid3 and few others. [07:19] sethk: yay, that file in my trash works. Thanks for trying to help ^^ [07:19] Sonja, look in synaptic for mp3 tag editor i used to have i long time ago but i cant remember the name [07:20] ooboon2: you have windows xp or vista? [07:20] Reeeh2000: Thanks :D I ran that command, it says "Updating /boot/grub/menu.lst ... done [07:20] " [07:20] I am having trouble connecting to update/synaptic servers - none are connecting but the rest of the internet is fine. This is in Xandros, but I had the same problem in Ubuntu and can't remember how i fixed it. [07:20] Swuboo: mount: can't find /dev/sda in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab [07:20] ooboon2: cool [07:20] Manu_: XP [07:20] reeeh2000: does that mean grub is restored? [07:20] !easytag [07:20] Sorry, I don't know anything about easytag - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [07:21] ooboon2: not sure, its designed to create the menu.1st file [07:21] reeeh2000: o ok [07:21] ooboon2: Oh ok I had the same problem with vista I restored the Vista MBR from the install disk and then ran super grub disk it solved my problem. [07:21] erro message "pam_authenticate: Conversation error." What does 'pam' stand for? [07:22] manu_: Is that "fixmbr"? in the recovery console? and is super grub disk a liveCD? [07:22] Sonja, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=320003 [07:23] I loose my wifi connection every time I switch to cli from X and vise versa, any suggestions? [07:23] thanks [07:23] What do you mean EADG_ ? [07:23] Like when you Alt+FX ? [07:23] ooboon2: i guess the only way to see if rebuilding menu.1st did anything is to restart [07:23] jlulian38: exactly [07:24] ooboon2: yes its the equivalent of fixmbr but the command was different for vista. and grub disk is a live cd you can boot with it and it gives you a set of options and installs grub based on your selection. [07:24] I am having problems not being able to connect to any repository in synaptic package manager, and apt-get update just sticks on 0% forever. I had this same problem in Ubuntu and cant remember how I fixed it. What should I do? [07:24] reeeh2000: Ok thanks, I'll reboot in a minute and see what happens [07:24] I don't know why that would happen :/ but if it's a huge deal you could probably hard-code the values into your init.d/networking script [07:24] manu_: Cool, I'll download Super Grub Disk [07:24] when i plug in my usb mp3 player, ubuntu doesn't mount it onto the desktop. is there something i have to type to mount it? [07:25] ooboon2: ok, ill stick around for a sec to see if it worked [07:25] Sonja displaying on the desktop and mounting are two different things [07:25] ohh ok [07:26] Sonja-> type mount on terminal and see if it got mounted [07:26] Sonja, open up a terminal(Under Accessories probably) and type "tail -f /var/log/messages" and shove it back in again [07:26] tell me what you see [07:26] jlulian38: what would I code in the script? The values for essid, mode, rate, etc... [07:26] BRB, restarting [07:26] You usually just need to tell it the ESSID and encryption values [07:26] the system should run dhclient by itself [07:27] bkar do you see an mp3 player here http://pastebin.com/m28ca54f0 [07:27] I noticed that my /etc/hosts file is missing. Was it moved or should I create one? [07:27] This is for ubuntu 7.10 [07:28] this one is for you jlulian38 http://pastebin.com/m279181cb [07:28] taker12, if you need one create it. its strange you dont have one [07:28] Sonja nope [07:28] That looks normal sonja :/ [07:29] but it isn't assigning it a block device [07:29] I think [07:29] jlulian38 upon shoving it back in: http://pastebin.com/m22291935 [07:29] soldats: yeah, it is strange. I installed gusty on a new server of mine and it's there [07:29] lazy installer? [07:30] jlulian38 and a program called "music player" opened up [07:30] maybe [07:30] does that mean i can drag and drop mp3s onto it? is that what it's for? [07:30] Oh === dgtlchlk is now known as dgtl|screen [07:30] Sonja now type mount again and repaste [07:30] yeah that might be it [07:31] bkar http://pastebin.com/m604b41f5 [07:31] Just wondering, the wireless I have works on Vista, but not on the installed Ubuntu 7.04 (it worked when I ran from the CD). I know this is probably the dumbest question ever but... Am I selecting the wrong WEP key format? (I've tried all of the formats though). Is there a link to a manual online anywhere? [07:31] Mixed in with all the USB recognition spam you should see something like this if it's a USB mass storage device [07:31] Jan 15 23:29:58 jlulian38-laptop-revived kernel: [204286.764000] sdb: sdb1 [07:31] hallo [07:31] does it mean i have to type all this stuff anytime i want to put music on my mp3 player?? [07:31] No [07:31] we're trying to make it so you never EVER have to again :P [07:31] w00t [07:32] you guys are smrt. [07:32] what do i do next? [07:32] Well you got a music player sort of thing right? [07:32] like exaile or whatever? [07:33] look for your MP3 player somewhere in there [07:33] i can use something like exaile to transfer the mp3s onto the usb mp3 player? [07:33] and also, I'd reccomend using Amarok [07:33] and probably [07:33] ok i'll d/l amarok [07:33] i thought exaile was the amarok for gnome [07:33] rythmbox is easier [07:33] Amarok is like the best thing ever and you'll want to love it like a companion cube [07:34] hello, I can use ftp with firefox (extension) but when I try to do so from the command line it doesn't work [07:34] Am I missing something that would be needed for the command line that isn't necessary for the firefox extension? [07:34] Sonja, when you plug in your mp3 player does it not automatically mount [07:34] I'm back [07:34] ooboon2: any luck? [07:34] cgreer, yes [07:35] soldats it doesn't pop up on the desktop [07:35] cgreer, the command line ftp client is completely separate [07:35] but i was told that's not the same as mounting [07:35] cgreer, in synaptic, search for ftp, it will show up on the list [07:35] reeeh2000: Nope, it still says "NTLDR is missing" :\ [07:35] jlulian38 and bkar have been helping me, they may be able to answer your qusetion [07:35] I downloaded cmdftp [07:35] ( and installed) [07:35] reeeh2000: I haven't tried the super grub disk thing yet though :) [07:35] cgreer, ok, and ...? [07:36] ooboon2: rats, well, thats what I know, i guess give super grub a try, handing you off to more experianced people [07:36] Sonja, well it should auto mount. do "fdisk -l" in terminal and see if it shows up. if so mount it via "sudo mount /dev/name /mountpoint" [07:36] it runs but using the same uname, pass, port, and host it doesn't connect [07:36] ooboon2: gnight [07:36] reeeh2000: Night, thank's for the help :) [07:36] ooboon2: Yeah, I think super grub or something like that is probably the easiest course of action. [07:36] I suppose I was just wondering if there was something I was missing that the firefox extension would have done for me [07:36] ... [07:36] ? [07:37] swuboo: Kay, downloading that right now. [07:37] ooboon2: Out of curiosity, can you see your Windows and Ubuntu partitions from the live CD? [07:37] anyone have any idea why my java won't work for a java applet using firefox(wont recognise)? [07:37] cgreer, whatever it is, it's not related to the firefox plug in. however ... [07:37] cgreer, you can use ethereal (now wireshark, I believe) to sniff the packets for the firefox ftp connection, and the command line attempt, and see what's different [07:38] xLE, java runtime doent work afaik [07:38] anybody know what package i need to get the file libartsc.so ? [07:38] =/ [07:38] I've connected to my windows pc using terminal server client but i don't know how to get to the TSC options once it's connected. Anyone know how? [07:38] !info libartsc.so [07:38] how can i test if it automounts? [07:38] Package libartsc.so does not exist in gutsy [07:38] is there an alternative? [07:38] k [07:38] thanks and brb [07:38] SinNoAria: There could be many reasons why your wireless is not working. Start by reading this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessTroubleShootingGuide [07:38] or how can i make it appear on desktop whenever it mounts or is plugged in? [07:38] xLE, the java plug in works in 32 bit. only 64 bit has a problem afaik [07:39] xLE, dont think so [07:39] i have the java plugin in [07:39] 32bit [07:39] doesn't work =[ [07:39] jlulian38 did it automount? or we had to manually mount it? [07:39] manu_: Thanks for the link. [07:39] sethk, i know java works but is there a java-runtime plugin? [07:39] xLE, did you also install the java JRE? [07:39] yes sethk [07:39] SinNoAria: Have a look at this it might be useful https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessTroubleShootingGuide [07:39] soldats, yes, for firefox there is. [07:39] I doesn't look like it's automounting [07:39] sethk, wow i must have never found it [07:39] but again [07:40] try fdisk -l [07:40] sethk i think its working :s [07:40] xLE, k [07:40] kty [07:40] Sonja, if the device is mounted it will appear on the desktop [07:40] I don't suppose there is a way to get ftp on mandriva? [07:41] i typed fdisk -l and nothing happened [07:41] Sonja, sudo fdisk -l [07:42] soldats and jlulian38 i got http://pastebin.com/m2a2e998d [07:42] Anyone have any experience with the Gnome Terminal Services application that comes bundled with ubuntu? [07:42] can we set it up so it automounts and appears on desktop in the future whenever i stick my usb mp3 player in my computer? [07:42] Sonja, how big is your mp3 player [07:42] 1 gig [07:43] It looks like the kernel is ignoring your mp3 player [07:43] sethK, any quick tips about how to search for what I need when using wireshark? [07:43] or slightly less [07:43] Flynsarmy: yes, in particular what are you looking at? [07:43] Sonja, it doesnt look like its showing a 1gig drive [07:43] cgreer, start with the obvious: connecting to the same ftp server, using the same username and password. [07:43] I'm slightly lost looking at all of these packets I assume [07:43] k [07:44] hi all [07:44] (they are packets right? ;)) [07:44] filter it with the default filters down to just FTP [07:44] I think [07:44] what do you use to admin mysql on ubuntu? [07:44] k [07:44] phpmyadmin isn't available [07:44] so i have to go to windowsxp to load music onto my portable mp3 player? [07:44] where are the shadow and passwd file located in ubuntu? [07:44] Ziroday: I connected using RDP. Windows is now showing perfectly, but i dont' knwo how to get to the server client options page while it's ocnnected. Or if there are any TSC shortcuts [07:44] Well [07:45] I hope not [07:45] try it with Amarok or Exaile or w/e [07:45] although windows can't read my ubuntu hard drive, probably [07:45] Sonja, maybe try a different usb port. or google the make model for linux compatibility. it should show up in fdisk -l [07:45] it's samusung yp-u2jb/xac [07:45] Sonja, ext3 drivers are available for windows [07:45] i was having serious problems until i updated the firmware (using windows and the samsung site) [07:46] i'll see if amarok is successful [07:46] where are the shadow and passwd file located in ubuntu? [07:46] what's an ext3 driver? [07:46] berto-: thanks for the tiip :) [07:46] Sonja-> auto display on desktop of mounted FS can be enabled/disabled via gconf-editor [07:46] pavs, /etc, same as all other unix and unix-like systems [07:46] Rodolfo: np. is that what you're looking for? [07:47] sethk thanks [07:47] ext3 is a filesystem [07:47] Sonja, amarok wont work unless its mounted. same as all the players. search around or check the forums. googel samsung mp3 player compatibilty for linux [07:47] ext3 driver abstracts the ext3 filesystem to the linux filesystem standard [07:47] samsung work like a usbstick i think [07:48] swuboo: Nope, can't see partitions from live CD :( [07:48] Sonja, sorry i cant help more i need to go to sleep [07:48] thanks soldats [07:48] np :) hope you solve it soon [07:48] so i haven't mounted it yet sucessfully yet [07:48] ifi understand correctly [07:48] brb. running grub disk [07:49] and i need to figure out how to mount it [07:49] then i can transfer music to it :/ [07:49] Sonja, if it gets recognized fdisk -l will show it as a 1 gig disk with fat32 filesystem so if you ge that far its easy as pie from then on out [07:49] but i need to go ill see you later [07:49] bye [07:51] when you put it on usb you can see in syslog the device (/dev/....) [07:52] then mount it with mount /dev/.... /media/some folder [07:52] hey i need some help, does any one know how to replace all that startup text when i start ubuntu up with a splash screen [07:52] some one here use awstats? I need to backup all the stadistics but I don't know where are stored [07:52] can you help me? [07:55] hey i need some help, does any one know how to replace all that startup text when i start ubuntu up with a splash screen basically my computer starts in like verbose mode adn does not find a splash screen i want to fix this [07:56] julabask: you need to add quiet and splash as boot parameters to the /etc/grub/menu.lst [07:56] manu, yea where do i put it in my menu.lst [07:56] julabask: install startupmanager, or edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst and point it to your splash pic. === Deja^vu^Boy__ is now known as Deja^vu^Boy [07:57] i cant get my ati-video-card to work in ubuntu. I've installed fglrx and set xorg.conf to use "fglrx" as driver. but still doesnt work [07:57] EADG, where do i put the route of my splash pic after the text on the second line [07:58] EADG_, where do i put the route of my splash pic after the text on the second line [07:58] ?? [07:58] julabask: first line if you want. [07:58] okay [07:58] how do i find azureus as the application when i'm picking it to open torrent files? [07:58] julabask: look for the line that begins with kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-rt root=UUID=80d52d01-8ae0-49 [07:59] like, what dir is the application in? or is that how it works/ [07:59] many after or before or instead of the ro quiet splash [07:59] manu after or before or instead of the ro quiet splash [08:00] oddalot: type 'which azureus' [08:00] @ [08:00] hello [08:00] ahh [08:00] thanks very much!! [08:00] !help [08:00] julabask: you already seem to have ro quiet splash in the end, your splash should be working. maybe it cant find the spalsh screen image or something [08:00] Aoshi, if you run awstats under strace, you can get a list of every file that it accesses. [08:01] 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 [08:01] Aoshi, I believe some of them are pseudo files in /sys, meaning you can't exactly back them up, but you can cat them to a text file and back up the text file [08:01] manu_, yea so if i replace the ro quiet splash with the route of the splash screen i want will it fix it [08:02] manu_, or where can i set the route to find the splash screen [08:02] julabask: install a program called startupmanager, in it you will find options for splash themes, among others. [08:03] Aoshi, You can also capture the awstats output to a file, and back up that file. [08:03] julabask: normally you just need to write splash and it picks it up... i think you shuold install startupmanager as EADG_ is suggesting [08:03] how do i make the last command i typed pop up in the terminal? [08:03] doctor_thunder: up arrow. [08:03] beat me :P [08:03] EADG_, i have installed that and it still just shows the text or just a blank screen depending on how my menu.lst is configured [08:04] or [08:04] eadg: tahnk you!! [08:04] history | grep 500 [08:04] sethk: We use awstats.pl, If I understand correctly it generate the estadistics at the fly and all the data its stored in the log file [08:04] :P [08:04] EADG_, do i need usplash or splashy installed for that program [08:05] EADG_, manu_, do i need usplash or splashy installed for that program [08:05] julabask: you'lle need splash images. [08:05] !openvnc [08:05] Sorry, I don't know anything about openvnc - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [08:05] !vnc [08:05] 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 [08:05] Aoshi, then back up the log file [08:05] !rdesktop [08:05] Sorry, I don't know anything about rdesktop - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [08:05] julabask: and usplash themes. Lemme look at SUM. [08:06] EADG_, manu_, yea one splash image in there and it does not show it after the initrd line i have quiet under it i assume that should be their [08:06] EADG_, manu_, well i am not using a usplash theme i am just using a .png photo [08:07] julabask: you will need to check the box named "show boot splash" in SUM. [08:07] EADG_, manu_, i think my problem is that i have a 1200X800 res monitor is their a vga code i should use for that maybe the [08:08] EADG_, manu_, it is checked [08:08] julabask: vga=791 iirc is for 1200x800 [08:08] I am having serious problems with make. [08:08] anybody out there? [08:08] julabask, does your default spash screen work? or are you trying to install a custom splash screen? [08:09] julabask: there are color restrictions on splash images... limeted to 8 or 16 colors... something wierd. [08:09] Every time I try to use make, I get an error message that leads me to believe that somehow, a flag (such as -o) is being confused for its own line. [08:09] julabask, the flash image can only be of a certain size and color depth.... i don't know the exact values for gutsy but thats easy to find out [08:10] why do i get "VGA: Failed to load module "xf4bpp" " [08:10] EADG_, manu_, okay what is iirc i dont have that and the image i have sum does show after the login screen just not before where its just black or a bunch of startup code [08:10] hey, i am having some big problems with my pc [08:10] I just got my ftp (command line) to work, would it be possible to write a bash script that uses this cmdftp program to backup my files? [08:10] it wont boot up [08:10] it will not boot anything [08:10] no cd no hd nothing [08:11] and it is saying something about mbr [08:11] julabask: iirc - if I recall correctly. [08:11] Master Boot Record [08:11] ? [08:11] yeah [08:11] EADG_, manu_, oh okay shit i put that in the menu.lst im a retard let me fix that [08:11] i was doing some stuff with mbr on usb drive and i may have mistakenly wrote it to something else in my pc [08:11] did you just install ubuntu on a newly partitioned drive? [08:12] no... ubuntu was running when i did this [08:12] and i was writing an mbr to a usb drive [08:12] but i think i may have wrote to wrong dev [08:12] EADG_, manu_, is their a reason it shows it after login screen but not before [08:13] now my pc wont even boot from cd [08:13] julabask: have you seen a splash screen before? [08:13] using nVidia card, all looks fine, but when i try to enable 3d accell i get something liek nvidia-glx-new, and it fails to enable [08:13] julabask: ... before trying to use your new image? [08:13] lol my deskbar crashes a lot [08:13] does this cron mean act every 6 hours : 0 */6 * * * ? thanks [08:13] i really hate the way it is in gutsy [08:13] anyone have any advice? [08:14] hey guys, my computer wont even run with "vesa", it says "screens found, but no usable configureation" what could be wrong? [08:14] EADG_, manu_, i think my first start up did then i tried out some custom ones and only showed them after login [08:14] !partition [08:14] Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in !GNOME under !Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For !Edgy and later, see !fstab and !DiskMounter [08:14] !hardware [08:14] 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 [08:14] I'm so sick of not being able to make. It's really putting a damper on my (2 day old) ubuntu experience [08:15] EADG_, manu_, though i did notice it show them before on my external monitor but left my laptop one blank [08:15] anyone have any ideas? [08:15] where do i go to find alternate ubuntu repos? i searched google and official forums without sucess [08:15] ThipThip: have you installed the package build-essentials? [08:15] lastlog ThipThip [08:15] is there any chance to play m4a files under mpd? [08:15] try using default partition type etr3 or something like that, i did it, and it worked for me [08:15] julabask: I'm out of ideas ;/ [08:16] manu_ yes I have. However I continue to get strange error messages. [08:16] ThipThip: I know what it is [08:16] astro: I don't know what lastlog means :-) [08:16] oh okay well thanks maybe i have some thing interfearing with it [08:16] imissle, are you talking to me? [08:16] ThipThip: not that ;) [08:16] ... [08:17] ThipThip: change /bin/sh is a link, it's pointing to dash, change it to point to bash [08:17] julabask: sometimes when there is an error during boot the splsh screen is not shown maybe try and notice if there's any error message when you boot next time [08:17] ThipThip: /bin/sh is a link, it's pointing to dash, change it to point to bash [08:17] yes, i had problem where it would start from harddrive, but it would with cdrom in, i reformatted using etr3 or something close, and booted from HD no prob [08:17] astro76: Sounds like a great lead, but I don't fully understand. [08:17] it wouldnt initially start from HD only from CD [08:17] it will not even start from cd [08:17] astro76: /bin/sh is a link where? And where is it "pointing" to dash? What does this mean? [08:18] ThipThip: Ubuntu uses dash, but many scripts aren't actually sh compatible and need bash [08:18] i press f8 right after power on, and i get boot menu to choose CDROM, for installs [08:18] ThipThip: ls -l /bin/sh [08:18] it will not start with cd in or out, with cd in and hd unplugged, or anything [08:18] lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2008-01-12 05:20 /bin/sh -> dash [08:18] i chose cdrom from boot menu and it ignores it [08:18] is the result [08:18] I am trying to use VI to search, but doing "s/WORD/" just says pattern not found (even for words like "and & the")...can anyone help? [08:18] what is dash and what is bash? [08:19] i royally skrewed it up [08:19] I thought bash was the syntax that one uses in terminal [08:19] i am sure it can be fixed === Daverocks_ is now known as Daverocks [08:19] ThipThip: just do this: sudo ln -s /bin/bash /bin/sh [08:19] with hd unplugged it doesnt give the mbr error, but it tries to do a network boot? [08:20] astro76: What is ln? Sorry to bother, but I really want to understand what I'm doing so that I can build some knowledge and eventually be one of the helpers in this channel rather than one of the pests [08:20] ThipThip: ln -s makes a symbolic link [08:20] ln: creating symbolic link `/bin/sh' to `/bin/bash': File exists [08:21] !ot [08:21] astro76: and what are bash and dash? (and sh for that matter?) [08:21] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [08:21] ThipThip: the problem is some scripts claim to be sh compatible but really use features only in bash [08:21] !bash [08:21] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [08:21] ThipThip: dash is a sh comptabile shell [08:22] astro76: OK, I think I understand. I'll have to do more research on my own. What do I do about this "file exists" thing? [08:22] ThipThip: remove /bin/sh first [08:22] sudo rm /bin/sh [08:23] Hey. I have a bit of a problem. It seems that the daemon ksoftirqd/1 is using a lot of CPU. What could be the source of this? Almost the only thing i have found googling, is that it is because of a tv-card. And i don't have one of those... [08:24] anybody here who could refer me where to find flash for linux? [08:24] !flash [08:24] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [08:24] 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. [08:24] why linux is more famous than bsd as a server os, despite bsd is more secure and stable that linux? [08:24] astro76: although /bin/sh is now pointing to bash, I continue to have the same problem. [08:25] i need a flash for linux [08:25] anyone? [08:25] flash? [08:25] seems as though alot of things are done in terminal screen, reminds me of the msdos days [08:25] swf maker [08:25] ThipThip: ok well if you want to change back, do the same two steps but replace /bin/bash with /bin/dash... it won't hurt to leave it, but I guess dash was chosen because it uses less memory [08:25] ...don't know [08:25] Hi all. Can somebody tell me if there is a way/tool to customise ubuntu in any way that I can implement the same installation with my standards on several machines? Like fe the respin tool on Fedora [08:26] macromedia flash to be specific [08:26] Can I write a script that will automatically copy files (via ftp) to a webserver? [08:26] ThipThip: the other thing to try is to change references to /bin/sh to /bin/bash in your scripts [08:26] astro76: any other ideas about the underlying issue? check out this error: bcop'ing : build/3d.xml -> build/3d_options.h/bin/sh: --header=build/3d_options.h: No such file or directory === bobslaed1 is now known as bobslaede [08:27] ThipThip: not really [08:27] astro76: I could do that. Although I find it hard to believe that it is the scripts that are broken - it seems like I'm the broken one. I am using AMD64, is there anything special to be mindful of there? [08:29] not sure [08:29] Hey Guys. The sound just stopped on my Gutsy, It says the resource is busy, how do I refresh it or make it unbusy? [08:30] ThipThip: you know it's late and I didn't look at your paste long enough... there definitely looks to be a problem with the script, there's a command missing before the /bin/sh: -o: not found [08:31] LurkersA: Throw a brick at it! It won't be so f**cking busy then will it? No, go into your sound prefs and then click reset sound server. Wait, are you in Gnome or Kbuntu? [08:31] dessnr: GNOME [08:32] Can somebody tell me if there is a way/tool to customise ubuntu in any way that I can implement the same installation with my standards on several machines? Like fe the respin tool on Fedora [08:33] Can someone tell me what libraries or whatever I need for ipod support? [08:33] LurkersA: OK. Go into prefs > sound and note down what it is set to for your selected sound. Then switch the sound to OSS mode, then back to the one that you noted. See how that goes....

Where do I look to see the script itself? Is it "Makefile"? [08:33] thanks astro76 [08:33] dessnr: Nothing...After I did it I clicked test and it says "audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Resource busy or not available." [08:34] ThipThip: yeah [08:34] ThipThip: that's where to start [08:34] hi, i was messing with dual monitors on ubuntu gustsy. Sense than i my visual effects wont work (compiz), in appearence preference is set to none, when i try to change i get the error Desktop effects could not be enabled. What can i do to fix this? [08:34] LurkersA: Strange. I've never come across that problem. Keep asking, perhaps someone else has. [08:34] Thanks astro [08:34] hello [08:34] where is my login script located [08:34] ? [08:34] dessnr: Thanks [08:35] dont feel bad, my visual effects never worked [08:35] is there any good reason to have fakeroot installed? [08:35] hello everybody [08:35] where is my login script located [08:35] lol [08:35] cookie__: repeating won't help, what login script, there are many? [08:35] this is gettng ridiculous really [08:35] cookie__: what do you want to do? [08:35] LurkersA: Go into the sound settings again, but when you click OSS, click OK as though you are going to keep the setting. Then come back in, and select the default. See if that works... [08:36] IDK, it says copy this into my login script [08:36] export PSPDEV=/usr/local/pspdev [08:36] export PATH=$PATH:$PSPDEV/bin [08:36] cookie__: ~/.bash_profile [08:36] ok, i can deal with no 3d acceleration, but i cant deal with no internet connectivity [08:36] thank you [08:36] dessnr: Still nothing [08:36] misslecommando: you are on the internet as we speak here on IRC... === Montyous_ is now known as |Quest| [08:38] ne one know how to setup a remote access site from ubuntu? [08:38] LurkersA: I'll have a look around, give me a min or two... [08:38] whats the nVidia update on the auto-update, on the Nvidia-glx-new thing ? [08:38] where is .bash_profile located [08:38] dessnr: Thanks [08:38] it is not in my home directory [08:39] cookie__: darn it's ~/.profile [08:39] cookie__: ~ is your home directory [08:39] ok [08:39] i cant get the new nvidia thing till my network card is connected to the internet, in which there is no device manager, in which to install a network card, in which i need to get the nvidia update [08:39] thanks [08:39] whew long breath [08:39] LurkersA: "If you change the permissions on the /dev/dsp and /dev/audio devices to 666 it seams to fix the problem. My problem started after I used EasyUbuntu." http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=325428 [08:40] there must be an easier way to instal drivers, other than having to makefile them, that is ridiculous [08:40] ne know how to setup an ip based website from ubuntu? [08:40] mahout: apache [08:40] i may as well solder together a videocard from scratch, than to do all this typing for nothing [08:40] dessnr: How would I go about doing that? [08:40] astro76: thnx [08:41] is there any type of device manager in ubuntu, the add/remove is senseless, and the network section of administate is of no help? [08:41] LurkersA: I have no idea, I was hoping you knew that part. Let me go into dev/dsp and have a look... [08:42] no automation of device settings/install ? [08:42] how can I control the time a given user on my machine is allowed to use the machine? [08:42] I need to do a ping test to a remote server, but i want to test a specific port. How do I do that? I only know how to ping the ip. [08:42] Smegzor: nmap [08:42] nmap [08:43] dessnr: Thanks [08:43] thanks [08:43] namp is picked up by some antivirus software, but works wonderful [08:43] Smegzor, you can also use telnet with a port override to have a conversation on any port. nmap is fine for discovering whether the machine is listening on a port. [08:43] who need a antivirus? [08:43] lol [08:44] ok [08:44] i need a way to install drivers, other than this senseless 3 million step install methods [08:44] LurkersA: I don't think this is the way that we should go actually. This fix does not work for everybody by the looks of it. Let me look for an alt. [08:45] i fmay as well prgram the dirvers myself if i need to go compile everything i install, makes absolutely no sense [08:45] misslecommando, there is no need to compile anything [08:45] misslecommando: if you want help repeat your question, because the only thing I see in my /lastlog is complaining [08:46] misslecommando, although, for the record, I write device drivers, and it takes three months to write one and three minutes to compile one. [08:46] dessnr: Thanks [08:47] seth wrong choice of words, but the typing and manual install of everything is quite lame [08:48] i download a driver, there is 200 things you need to type in terminal to get it to work [08:48] there must be ab easier way [08:48] misslecommando: for almost everybody there's no manual install of anything [08:48] misslecommando: #ubuntu-offtopic is available if you want to rant [08:49] I'm back [08:49] I am trying to get aMSN to stay in the notification area when I close the window.... is this possible? [08:49] you can tell me that most people dont need manual install, yet, there is no device manager of any sort that i can find, that was my question [08:50] misslecommando: I meant your actual problem [08:50] Is anyone here famiilar with bootloaders and MBRs? [08:50] there must be an easier way to install the device drivers i download fromt he sites, that tell me they are for the version of linux i use [08:50] Because I can't access anything on my computer :( When I boot my comp, it says "NTLDR is missing" [08:51] i download the files, (.deb) but there is no device manager, my videocard driver ended up in restricked section for some reason [08:52] I have an issue with the daemon ksoftirqd on my dual core CPU, ksoftirqd/1 runs wild, while ksoftirqd/0 runs normal, at almost 0%CPU [08:52] only way i can udate the video drvier is manual install of netcard driver, which is quite ridiculous [08:52] i think i got out what i need to say. its a 3 way problem, that is quickly making me think on trashing the idea till they come up with a better version of linux [08:52] LurkersA: Have you got easyubuntu installed? Not that it matters, because it seems that there is no promising fix for this problem. I would stick around and ask for a while. Hopefully somebody will have a fix for it.... [08:53] misslecommando: have you tried just using 'restricted drivers' in the admin menu.. ? usually it will tell you if you need drivers, you tick the box and it will go find them and install them for you [08:53] misslecommando: so is that the problem after filling another screen with complaining, your network card doesnt' work? [08:53] please, if anyone of you has an ATi xpress 200m graphics card, copy xorg.conf so I can compare it to mine, because I have some problems [08:53] and send it to me [08:53] dessnr: No, not EasyUbuntu. Is it software? [08:54] LurkersA: No, it's a cut down version of Ubuntu as far as I know. Like xubuntu... [08:54] dessnr: Ah. [08:55] is there a page where we can see what vid cards are supported by gutsy? [08:56] !hardware [08:56] 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 [08:57] i already tried that [08:57] it brings me to a debug/report page [08:57] that is of no use to me [08:57] misslecommando: if you have a .deb, you just double-click it to open it .. kinda like what to do when you download an .exe installer in windows? [08:58] main question where is the device manager for ubuntu ? [08:58] if anyone of you has an ATi graphics card, copy xorg.conf so I can compare it to mine, because I have some problems [08:58] and send it to me [08:58] misslecommando: linux doesn't work like that.. it's not windows [08:58] astro76: Thanks [09:00] actually, both gnome and kde have the equivalent of device manager. Bt zcat[1] is essentially correct, because it won't help him. [09:00] what is that called ? [09:00] misslecommando: what card do you have? [09:00] sethk: they don't have the kind of device manager where you can click 'reinstall drivers' like in windows... [09:00] i dont see any good way to look at all my hardware, not just the one [09:01] when the graphics card talk about restricted driver, that means its a non-free driver [09:01] misslecommando: you use command line for that [09:01] RalinkRT61 chipset [09:01] misslecommando, kinfocenter [09:01] for kde, anyway [09:02] zcat[1], that never works for me in windows anyway :) [09:02] isnt that a wlan card? [09:02] non-free ? you mean money ? [09:02] no [09:02] it means non open-source [09:02] misslecommando, no, meaning you don't have all the source [09:03] Hello, my name is ooboon2 (librustralia and veganarkismo yesterday). I was wondering if anyone here could help me out, I've got an urgent problem. I have a 30gb windows partition and a 125GB linux partition. The 30GB windoze partition always came up with the BSOD when i tried to boot into it so yesterday I decided to fix it since I needed to use a program in windows. I came to this channel for help and someone said I should u [09:03] se the "fixboot c:" command. I did that and when I rebooted, it said "NTLDR is missing" and I couldn't access either my windows or ubuntu partition. [09:03] yes WifiDocs/Device/Linksys WMP54GX [09:03] non-free meaning 'restricted' -- the source code is locked away somewhere [09:03] ooboon2, fixboot is windows, so don't blame us. :) [09:03] misslecommando: have you tried the guide available at the forums? [09:03] nono I'm not blaming anyone [09:03] yes, in the ubuntu site, in which i cant connect, in order to get the auto-update, in which i need to get the 3d accel [09:04] lol [09:04] unfortunately, if hardware makers won't tell the linux coders how their hardware works, it makes it very difficult to support it. [09:04] I was just wondering is there a way to restore the linux installation? [09:04] ooboon2, if you know what the partition sizes are, yes [09:04] ?? iso [09:04] !iso [09:04] 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. [09:04] ooboon2, you can set up the partition table and then reinstall grub [09:05] thats a great help zcat, thank you [09:05] now i know i was chasing a dead duck [09:05] ooboon2, if you don't know the partition sizes it's possible but a lot of work [09:05] sethk: How do you set up the partition table? [09:05] sethk: I roughly know the sizes, the linux one is 125GB and the windows one is 30GB [09:05] ooboon2, fdisk, as in (as root); fdisk /dev/hda or fdisk /dev/sda depending on which type of disk hardware you have [09:06] i'm trying to mount my usb mp3 player, but ubuntu is not finding it ;( [09:06] does anyone of you has an ati g. card? [09:06] white_eagle: yeah [09:06] also it would help if you told us what hardware you're trying to get working rather than 'I think I need to do.... tell me how" which might be completely wrong [09:06] mavi- can you copy xorg.conf and send it to me via p.m? [09:07] i need to compare [09:07] zcat, do you think i can take the information from another supported card, that has same chipset, and import it somehow, so that it makes up for the lack of drvier support from the manufacturer? [09:07] sethk: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52117/ [09:08] ooboon2, I'll take a look, but I'm fading fast here. :) [09:08] mavi-, can you do this for me? [09:08] white_eagle: pm [09:08] sethl: alright, thanks :) === white_eagle is now known as whiteeagle-mk [09:08] oh i need to register first [09:08] yes you need [09:09] whiteeagle-mk: do /msg nickserv set unfiltered on and you get the link [09:09] Hello. I'm looking for scientific applications *like mathcad autocad on win etc. [09:09] Advice me please. [09:09] ooboon2, the message you can ignore, it hasn't been relevant for a number of years. The 1024 limit problem is even fixed in windows these days, and was never a problem in unix [09:09] goodhabit: qcad, perhaps? [09:09] ooboon2, type p, I believe, to print the current partition table. [09:10] ooboon2, as it says, m will list the commands [09:10] Also I'm serarching analog for visualstudio (dev. suit). [09:10] sethk: ok [09:10] sethk: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52118/ [09:11] hi, does anybody know if is it possible to know if a person that uses my services (http/ftp) is behind a proxy? === u^A is now known as u^A_ [09:12] ooboon2, looks like the windows partition is intact. I see only swap for linux. [09:12] sethk: ahh [09:12] ooboon2, you might try, in windows/dos, fdisk /mbr [09:12] Tupa: x-proxy-for: headers, perhaps? or scan everyone that connects and see if the IP address runs a proxy ? [09:12] sethk: I can't boot into windows/dos though [09:13] ooboon2, there are bootable cd and floppy images floating around the net [09:13] zcat[1], yes. I want to know if that guy is behind a proxy [09:13] sethk: There's this program in Parted Magic that analyses partitions, it said my linux partition is still intact [09:13] Tupa: sometimes the proxy adds a header to the http request .. [09:14] thanks zcat[1], so it is possible that I don't always know if people are behind a proxy .. [09:15] Tupa: yes.. you only know if the proxy owner set it up to tell you.. [09:16] hi [09:17] how do I compile a program for debian from a .srpm package? [09:17] .srpm files are compilable source code, right? [09:18] offtopic , anyone knows the mod hack for vbulletin forums ? [09:18] mod hack? [09:18] yeah i just heard about it [09:18] i am having a problem with updating. (malformed Release file?) <-- its also keeping me from installing other software. === ewook_ is now known as ewook [09:18] vbulletin is a bloated hunk of crap, can you be more specific? :v [09:18] Failed to fetch http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/dists/gutsy/Release Unable to find expected entry commercial/binary-i386/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?) [09:19] called the mod i think [09:19] i've spent over an hour searching the net. anyone know what the problem is ? [09:19] i'm sorry ti's all i know [09:19] Anybody willing to help for the PPC port, I get it stopping to a _ right after booting live CD [09:19] i though i might find some one who knows it here [09:19] so basically, there is no time management/limitation software on debian/ubuntu????????????? [09:20] use phpBB instead, it's open source, faster and has more mods [09:20] my sources.list is ok i am sure, because the other boxes are working just fine. and i even tried their sources.list. this is a brand new install [09:21] alpaco : working on it but i'm stuck with vbulletin for now [09:21] Is there a way to stop the screen brightness going back up to max after about 10 seconds of idle time? Can't it just stay the same? [09:23] how do I compile .srpm (fedora source code) files in debian? [09:23] My homefolder disaperes in avant-window-navigator anyone know why? [09:23] cd #supybot [09:25] Is a linux partition considered a "solaris" partition or a "intel" partition in TestDisk? [09:25] My homefolder disaperes in avant-window-navigator anyone know why? [09:26] alpaco can you unzip it ? the compiling part is easy. i forget how to unzip them though. have the gui up ? right click it and see if you can extract it. [09:26] ooboon2 swap drives are labeled linux / solaris or something similiar in most partition managers. even linux partition managers/editors. [09:27] gonzoism, thanks [09:27] bentob0x: timeoutd ? [09:27] anyone having update problems ? Failed to fetch http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/dists/gutsy/Release Unable to find expected entry commercial/binary-i386/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?) [09:27] anyone know the fix. i'd hate to have to reinstall. i've spent hours on this. [09:27] maybe 5. and i need to take it back tomorrow. [09:28] zcat[1]: is that not for tty sessions only? [09:28] bentob0x: no === |Stevie|_ is now known as |Stevie [09:29] Hi all. Could somebody help me to find the program for Linux, that could make a base of computers and it's hardware? I need to make an inventory on the work... There is 20 computers with Ubuntu Linux === |Stevie is now known as |Stevie| [09:29] gonzoism: yes I can extract it [09:29] bentob0x: there's no pretty GUI admin tool, but it kicks off GUI users [09:29] k going to have a look at it now [09:29] have you used it yourself? [09:29] Anyone know how to get to the Terminal Server Clients's options while it's connected? [09:30] bentob0x: I used to.. [09:30] kids zcat[1]? :) [09:30] alpaco cool. extract it. then go in there, and if there is a configure file, you can run, ./configure --help to see any options, and then, ./configure --whatever-options && make && sudo make install that does it. i usually use the option ./configure --prefix=/usr [09:31] i think i am going to try to reinstall the whole apt system. anyone done this before ? is that a super bad idea ? [09:31] Yeah, used to limit them to an hour a day, but we have too many computers here, they used to just swap to a different machine (or dual-boot to windows) to get around it. [09:32] now I just yell at them to do homework or go to bed.. [09:33] ok this is an odd question, but where the hell is the pi button on the scientific part of the ubuntu calc program? [09:33] hey there... i need help, I do not have a desktop, like gnome or kde... just cli. I would like to run a partition tool for raid and lvm managment like the one used in the installer... i cant seem to find any info [09:35] ok either im blind or it doesnt have a pi button [09:36] Could somebody help me to find the program for Linux, that could make a base of computers and it's hardware? I need to make an inventory on the work... There is 20 computers with Ubuntu Linux. Maybe smbd could give his base? [09:36] tomdavidson is cfdisk what you are looking for ?

[09:39] :P [09:39] Sonja might unzip them first if they are zipped. after amarok installs them, you can delete whatever you downloaded [09:39] 'constant' [09:40] oh yes, much more sensible [09:40] i unzipped them but there's a whole bunch of files and even subfolders [09:40] dunno where to store them [09:40] My Linux Partition turned into "free space"!!!! argh [09:40] do they have to be in a special amarok directory or something?

[09:41] oh i see [09:42] Nah, im already on modafinil :P [09:42] Sonja well, open amarok and install them through the menus. then after you are done, you can delete everything. amarok copies them where it needs them.

[10:16] how do i do a partition ? [10:17] DosMetros, I would think you'll need to use a livecd to resize your unmounted ubuntu parition to free up some space to start with, maybe then XP will see the free space [10:17] ah [10:17] i see [10:18] DosMetros, I've never installed XP after an ubuntu install, so beyond that, I'm not sure how it'll work, other than that you would need to reinstall grub once the install has been done [10:18] k [10:19] sonja my player isnt meantioned on there at all i think it may be to old [10:20] come to #anythingbutipod [10:22] Is anyone else having more trouble with USB devices in Gutsy than they did in Feisty?

[11:46] http://pastebin.com/m6074db05 [11:47] where would I check it? - "The program 'ntfs-config' is currently not installed." [11:48] u say it suddenly disappeared? or it never worked in the first place [11:48] chmod is used to CHange permisions, man chmod will be quite discripive, 7=read,write,execute 777 sets this for the owner of the file, group of the file, everybody else [11:48] ive had read write access to my windows drive since I installed gutsy [11:49] it disappeared this morning [11:50] harveyd:check ur systemtools [11:50] is ntfs-3g installed?

[11:57] nope [11:57] the desktop one [11:57] cheers,,.,. if i dont put a path to the playlist will it just load amarok?

[11:59] bod_, aye, amarok is the command .. but its what switches and parameters to amarok that is unclear to me (and you) :) [11:59] can I roll back any automatic updates? [11:59] linux__: it does say that the CLI version is only for advanced users, and there is not a GUI version for Linux. Are you sure this is the software for you? What problem are you actually trying to solve?

If you are running the 32-bit version of Ubuntu, just download the binary. Double-click the archive to open, extract the file. You will then need to open a terminal and run it from the command line.

When booting I select 'Mode 1 = 80x50. My 6 consoles will then cover only part of the screen and display only 80x25 characters. Knoppix and X use the whole screen area though. What is the reason of this error? [12:16] yep [12:16] misslecommander, use the Nvidia version in Synaptic, its much safer, its less likely to cause you problems [12:17] Bleehhh... after many hours wasted, I got usplash to work. Turns out there's an "usplash" package that libusplash DOESNT depend on. sheesh... [12:17] bullgard4: X and framebuffer are two different technologies [12:17] set theme trax [12:18] really i dont see why the need for such permissions set on something I installed, i can see if it was a "remote" thing, but this is overboard [12:18] is there a way i can search through the source of files looking for a certain line of text? [12:18] AdvoWork: grep [12:18] yeah [12:18] goto line [12:18] what editor do you use [12:18] misslecommander: read the basic docs on ubuntu.com and tldp.org as it's clear your not actually understanding what your doing/saying [12:19] ikonia: Yes. But this does not explain that the consoles use only a part of my screen area.

Or do you want me to repeat the whole message? [12:20] pico cntl r cntl t and then look for your file [12:20] well, as far as being secure ? its not on the net, so only someone with physical access could even touch it, in that case, any security measure is nearly useless [12:20] pico should allready be installed on your system [12:21] someone must know how i can change the direcoty permissions so i can just drop the dumb file in the /root and be over with it [12:21] How can I submit new keyboard layout to Ubuntu, that it would be added to the next Ubuntu release by default.. ?

[12:27] unop: why not what ? [12:27] ikonia: its like this the user here has 65/220gb of data on home...how would i go about copying the data and stuff [12:27] misslecommander, look at it this way, you've downloaded a file from the internet and copied it onto your computer, Linux (generally) needs you the user to do something positive to say that you're permitting the file to run, Just because the file is from NVidia, doesn't mean you would want to run it [12:27] neopsyche_: have you tryed drag&drop into your theme browser? [12:27] real horrible at least it runs and dont crash ever 2 mins [12:27] !ot | misslecommander cre8torx [12:27] misslecommander cre8torx: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [12:27] ikonia, use /home as an NTFS bolume [12:28] what [12:28] s/b/v/ [12:28] samad909: mount the ntfs partition somewhere temp and move off to a better partition [12:28] what [12:28] because KDE looks smoother and runs faster on my system.. but i miss the launch bar... and want the bottom bar to be thinner [12:28] hi ikonia [12:28] unop: because ntfs-3g is not %100 reliable [12:28] reinstall your ubuntu [12:28] wannadoanything: I cannot see sim-dock in the ubuntu repos [12:28] get rid of ntfs crap [12:28] misslecommander: Winders is the biggest computer virus ever written. [12:28] unop: The article speaks about supported modes of the framebuffer. I have choosen a supported framebuffer mode (namely '1'). Still, the consoles do not write on the whole screen area. Why? [12:28] lol [12:29] n2diy: windows [12:29] ikonia: no, winders, thanks :) [12:29] n2diy: it's called windows [12:29] ok, i will say it one more time. this installation of ubuntu does not need one bit security, it is a geek toy, and i dont need a padlock on it [12:29] ikonia: could i resize the 220gb partition and copy the data and again delete the ntfs partition and add that space to the other partition which i copy the data to? is this doable? [12:29] internet konekt [12:29] hi. I'm trying to whatch the macbook thin video (http://www.apple.com/macbookair/guidedtour/) but I cannot hear any sound (the x264 codec is installed; VLC doesn't have sound too). You guys known how to play this file? [12:29] stop messaging me with senselessness about security [12:29] samad909: thats doable, but not without risk [12:29] ikonia: by some, not by me. [12:30] misslecommander you're right...you would be much happier in windows [12:30] n2diy: please speak in english and without deframatory phrases [12:30] ????????? [12:30] window's sux [12:30] how do i restart kdm or atleast a comand to logout(bonus points if it logs me back in) [12:30] cre8torx: come on, this is not appropriate [12:30] ikonia: its my last option? [12:30] windows works, and i am happy when it works, not some gui that is slow as dos was 10 years ago [12:30] ikonia: ??? [12:30] your right [12:30] samad909: I think it's a reasonable option, just as reasonable as mounting it on /home [12:30] bullgard4, I dont think you are entering the right mode there -- you have to enter something like 792 instead of 80x25, etc .. there's a table there to guide you on it [12:30] simple question, noone can answer [12:30] boot the window's users [12:30] ikonia: Windows is a trademark, winders isn't. [12:30] missile commander: okay, if you dont care about security do: sudo passwd root [12:30] ikonia: how would i mount that partition as /mount/sdb2? [12:31] then always as root [12:31] samad909: mount /dev/sdb2 /mount/sdb2 [12:31] and you can do anything [12:31] misslecommander: what do you want to know [12:31] misselcommander.. windows.. works, kde / gnome works better [12:31] ikonia: in install options /mount/sdb2? [12:31] ;-) [12:31] how do i copy a file to a directory that it tells me i have no rights to copy it to ? how do i change the permissions to allow for me to copy the file to any directory i wish ? [12:31] samad909: install otions ? [12:31] misslecommander: chmod [12:31] misslecommander, sudo cp file destination [12:31] login as root and you ca do anything :) [12:31] misslecommander: still confused with "sudo"? [12:31] ikonia: partitioning while installing ubuntu [12:31] misslecommander: use sudo to act as a root command prompt and use the commands to move or change the permissions [12:32] samad909: oooh I see [12:32] samad909: no no no, don't do that [12:32] what's the possiblity of some one hacking his computer when he's using SU there's probly nothing of intrest there anyway [12:32] ikonia: what do i mount it as then? [12:32] cre8torx: it's not about the proability, its about a uniform advice [12:32] right [12:32] i want to import presents from winamp to xmms, coul someone tell me how to do it ? [12:32] thank you, that is much more help than telling me of security issues [12:32] samad909: in the partition option you can select additioanal mount points, mount /dev/sdb2 where ever you want (eg: /media/windows-disk) [12:33] ikonia: so shall i just leave it as /mount/sdb2 [12:33] missile commander: have you got that file copied then? [12:33] samad909: sure, if you want [12:33] use ummmmm synaptic package manager for your downloads them [12:33] then [12:33] how do you unpack a -7zip file? [12:34] ikonia: alright, i will setup the partitions and ask you the stuff i need, thanks for now [12:34] -7zip --help [12:34] you'll see [12:34] no [12:34] I have seen that table. I first did 'hwinfo --framebuffer'. Answer: vga=0x316 (1024x768x15) is allowed. When I put 'vga=0x316' in Grub's kernel line I do obtain a black screen and no consoles. [12:35] unop: I have seen that table. I first did 'hwinfo --framebuffer'. Answer: vga=0x316 (1024x768x15) is allowed. When I put 'vga=0x316' in Grub's kernel line I do obtain a black screen and no consoles. [12:35] !7z > robinsjostrom (see PM from ubotu) [12:35] got a better question what's 7zip [12:35] cre8torx: type of file compression [12:35] ! 7zip [12:35] Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME) or Ark (KDE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression [12:35] right like bzip tar gz [12:36] never ran into a 7zip [12:36] cre8torx: correct [12:36] never heard of 7zip either [12:36] im lost [12:36] nor I [12:37] better question where does one find a 7zip [12:37] ikonia: the ntfs partition does not mount, it says resume partition and i tried again, what now? [12:37] little known file archive usualy used in windows enviroments [12:37] its a windows format like zip but well erm im not sure why anybody would use it over size, perhaps compression [12:37] I've seen alot of files ext zip's but not tah [12:37] samad909: resume partition, are you sure thats the right /dev file for it [12:37] I've seen alot of files ext zip's but not that [12:37] cre8torx: In synaptic (if it's there), or from their site. [12:37] cre8torx: well i donwloaded one today that contained firmware for tomato router firmware [12:37] ikonia: /dev/sdb2 or /mount/sdb2 [12:38] cre8torx: www.polarcloud.com/tomato [12:38] samad909: /dev is the device file [12:38] yeah [12:38] ikonia: the partition is listed as use as:ntfs, mount point: /mount/sdb2, boot flag: no [12:39] samad909: that seems reasonable, leave that alone [12:39] samad909: what installer are you using [12:39] yeah [12:39] hi. i want to change ubuntu upsplash to standart verbose bootsplash, how do i do that? i cannot find anything else than changing upslash theme in google [12:39] ikonia: ubuntu-alt-7.10 [12:39] ikonia: text based [12:39] mutable: on boot up you can press alt+f1 to get verbose messages [12:40] hhi [12:40] Ziroday: no, i want bootsplash ! [12:40] settings splash screen settings [12:40] ? [12:40] ikonia: shall i not mount it? will i be able to mount it later? [12:40] samad909: I'll be honest, I don't know what your on about, the installer look slike it will mount it at boot time [12:40] my keyboard stoped workng suddenly [12:40] samad909: your not making any sense [12:40] mutable: then you simply change your usplash theme to one that supports showing of verbose messages, its easy to install usplash themes with SUM [12:40] samad909: ignore it, install ubuntu, then we'll mount it manually later [12:41] now keys work when helddd pushed [12:41] i have feisty [12:42] how do i fix it/ [12:42] DreamLnr: tried with a different keyboard? === samad1 is now known as samad909 [12:42] yeah know clue [12:42] DreamLnr: What did you push?

[12:48] ill try [12:48] !md5 | alpaco [12:48] ikonia: looks like the installer is stuck :S, its on configuring apt on 40%, the cdrom or harddisk is not been read, its saying scanning the mirror and just there on 40% [12:48] alpaco: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [12:48] samad909: patience [12:48] ikonia: alright [12:50] hey im trying to setup a new dual boot machine, but im unable to boot from the vista install DVD [12:50] jolt bubble gum cool [12:50] i get the message "reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key" [12:51] any ideas? [12:51] VvWolverinevV you expect to find vista support here? [12:51] VvWolverinevV: that is not an ubuntu problem [12:51] ikonia: hmm, does this usually take so long on high end machines too? [12:51] samad909: can do if your mirror is slow [12:51] th0r: ubuntu is next, but i want to dual boot [12:51] samad909: it can hang too sometimes [12:51] here's some advise get rid of vista [12:51] VvWolverinevV: this is not vista support. Join ##windows [12:51] VvWolverinevV: dual boot? what is installed now? [12:51] VvWolverinevV, you'd be better asking in ##windows about that problem [12:51] k, thanks [12:51] ikonia: i dont think it is scanning the net/cdrom/hard [12:51] yeah that not are prob [12:51] Anyone having inspiron 1420 integrated webcam working on ubuntu 7.10? [12:52] samad909 should be doing that net [12:52] question? I noticed after a set number of reboots ubuntu forces a disk check, is there a way to invoke it manually ? [12:52] everyone get in #trivia [12:52] arthur37854: fsck [12:52] ikonia: can not be as the network card light isn't even on [12:52] arthur37854, fsck [12:52] ty [12:52] * Helvasca is urging everyone to join #trivia [12:52] samad909: that suggests there is no nick [12:52] VvWolverinevV: you need to change your bios so you can boot off of the cdrom drive. [12:52] Anyone having inspiron 1420 integrated webcam working on ubuntu 7.10? [12:53] ikonia: you mean net? [12:53] !patience > miline, miline Read the private message from ubotu. [12:53] h1st0: the boot order says floppy, HDD, atapi CD [12:53] h1st0, sure :) [12:53] wouldn't that work? [12:53] VvWolverinevV: change it so that cd is first [12:53] ok, not a bad idea [12:53] brb [12:54] ikonia: hmm, well i am connected to the same router on this machine [12:54] get rid of vista [12:54] miline: also you are asking a very specific hardware question. YOu may be better off searching the forums for your hardware. [12:54] can you fsck while you the drive is mounted and running the os? [12:54] samad909: no light = no link [12:54] ikonia: it is linked, i was on xp a few mins back and now i checked too, what could be wrong? [12:54] arthur37854, man fsck [12:54] ok ty [12:55] ikonia: alright moved to 80% now XD [12:55] h1st0: same message [12:55] excellent [12:55] keymaps dir is empty [12:55] :( [12:55] arthur37854: just do 'sudo touch /forcefsck' and reboot. It will force a check then [12:55] arthur37854, it should [12:55] arthur37854, I mean fsck should check mounted filesystem [12:55] how do i fix it? [12:56] arthur37854: yes [12:57] h1st0: the options for booting are "atapi CD" but the media is a dvd, would that matter? [12:57] VvWolverinevV: shouldn't as long as the drive can read a dvd. [12:57] what ever your master boot drive is [12:57] VvWolverinevV: can the drive read a dvd? [12:57] yes [12:57] VvWolverinevV this is NOT an ubuntu issue [12:57] like if you have too drives make sure you put the master first [12:58] VvWolverinevV you have been asked to not progress this in here [12:58] VvWolverinevV: then it doesn't matter just as long as it set to boot that first. [12:58] hello all, i need to reinstall grub on a dual boot machine running os x and ubuntu. can someone help? [12:58] ikonia: its a hardware issue atm. [12:58] h1st0: this is not hardware support [12:58] h1st0: can i pm u? [12:58] VvWolverinevV: ##hardware or ##windows [12:58] ikonia: waiting with patience again, scanning security repos and on 80% [12:58] punkshui I can pastebin some notes on that...give me a sec [12:58] depending on what your debugging [12:58] VvWolverinevV> wrong room dude [12:59] #vista #windows [12:59] ikonia: so anytime you help someone wiht hardware issues I will start throwing up ##hardware links [12:59] punkshui http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52128/ [12:59] h1st0: no problem. I don't support hardware issues [12:59] th0r thanks a lot. i just need to be careful because i use refit and i don't want to lose my mac partitions [12:59] ikonia: you also tell people to read the manual. [13:00] h1st0: very rarley [13:00] how can I tell which driver my wireless card is using? [13:00] VvWolverinevV> 's in #window's too but probly not getting any help because they don't know either [13:00] punkshui I know nothing about mac...wish I did. But you always need to be careful mucking about with the mbr [13:00] misc--: wat kind of card is it? [13:00] misc--: lspci [13:00] h1st0: that won't tell it what drivers are being used [13:01] th0r i was told not to change the mbr, i'm just supposed to reinstall grub.. apparently my system can't find /boot/grub and so it gives me an error [13:01] ikonia: I know but I can tell him if I know what crd it is. [13:01] misc--: lsmod will show a list of drivers loaded on your system that you should be able to work out which one matches which [13:01] h1st0: I appriciate that [13:01] punkshui in that case...don't use the notes...they assume grub is intact to begin with [13:02] th0r yeah i'm not sure that it is [13:02] th0r but all i did was restore my root partition from a partimage restore image... but in order to do so i had to use gparted to resize the root partition ... after that upon reboot i get no grub [13:02] h1st0: it's an ipw2200 card but when I type in lsmod, the "used by" column has a 0 [13:03] lspci [13:03] punkshui ok...this is my best guess...no guarantees.... [13:03] misc--: then you are using the ipw2200 driver. [13:03] Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection [13:03] my keyboard on kubuntu feisty stoped workng suddenly, now keys work when helddd pushed for a sec. in login screen its ok,when logged in-a problem.help [13:03] misc--: ieee80211 [13:03] lol, this is funny [13:03] misc--: Yeah I have the same card. [13:03] Whenever I run an apt-get command, it tells me that dpkg was interrupted and that I must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a'. When I run this command, it tells me "dpkg: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1". [13:03] punkshui no...that won't work either . Not sure how you could go about fixing that....you can get into mac now right? just lost grub and ubuntu? [13:03] i cant believe it takes 5 hours to install a simple videocard driver [13:04] keymaps dir its empty [13:04] th0r yeah im in mac right now [13:04] misslecommand: it shouldn't. What are you trying to install [13:04] someone please check out this post by aTomic http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-281358.html [13:04] h1st0: right ok then. Well anyway yeah I verified that it's using the ipw2200 driver [13:04] misc--: yeah look atht eh ieee80211 entry in lsmod [13:04] i am at that point now, i habe no internet connection for the ubuntu, so downloading from it, is not an option [13:05] punkshui I have several ideas...but hesitate to offer them as I know nothing of mac and don't want to endanger your data [13:05] wifi and ubuntu is alittle shaky [13:05] i am sure i can manahge what it says to do, but a lit of what files i might need would be of major help [13:05] misslecommand: what kind of video card do you have? [13:05] I have transparent panels, but black text. And it's not easy to read. How do i make the text in the panels white? [13:05] i have a hp with wifi built in centrino [13:06] h1st0: well here is my problem - I had to recompile a vanila kernel so I could patch it and run it as a virtual server host. I copied my previous .config file, then recompiled with make-kpkg and all was fine, rebooted and no wireless extensions. However the ipw2200 driver is installed, and that's whre I'm stuck =) [13:06] punkshui the easiest is to boot into the livecd, open a terminal, and type 'sudo grub-install'. But I don't guarantee the results [13:06] that was a pain in the [13:06] misc--: you also need ieee80211 [13:06] th0r could i specify where that would install? [13:06] misslecommand: you have no internet on the machine you are trying to fix? [13:06] misslecommand: Write an email to nvidia and tell them that their closed source driver is making it very hard for you to use your nvidia graphics card. [13:06] then how are you here [13:06] ? [13:07] cause if it installed that on my efi partition than my bootloader would be gone for booting os x [13:07] you mean browser [13:07] im confused [13:07] punkshui no...it has to go in the master boot record or grub won't work, and you are right...your bootloader also needs the mbr. Like I said...I don't know mac so can't be sure how to go about it. [13:07] misslecommand: if you have net you just need to use the restricted manager and install the proper drivers. [13:08] misslecommand: if not there is a link floating around about installing packages with out net it puts them together etc... [13:08] h1st0: I'm pretty sure I had that compiled in as a module (well actually I had both ipw2200 and ieee80211 compiled into the kernel instead of a module). I'll double check that though [13:08] th0r it's just funny that ubuntu was working perfectly before i resized the partition and tried to restore my root partition from this partimage restore image [13:09] th0r i'm going to boot from the live cd and see if i can see what's going on with the partitions [13:09] punkshui good luck [13:09] th0r thx [13:09] hello [13:09] lol [13:09] that's better [13:10] i finally managed to bypass the permissions thing, and get to the file. what a pain that was [13:11] misslecommand: it's one command "sudo mv file /new/location" [13:11] misslecommand: you where told 10 times === famo is now known as famo`aw [13:11] i still cant switch drives, but i can access my desktop now [13:11] ikonia: on select and install software, and looks like it is stuck again at installed tomboy 85% [13:11] misslecommand: 1 command !=pain [13:11] samad909: patience [13:11] h1st0: one other thing that failed to stop was my sound. It's an Intel 82801FB HD Audio Controller. I guess I just need to make sure that alsa is setup correctly [13:11] ikonia: yup, waiting.. [13:13] Is anyone else having problems with security.ubuntu.org timing out when doing an apt-get? [13:13] there's a lot of nothing going on [13:13] hi people =] [13:13] hi thedoor [13:13] how can i see the loaded modules? [13:13] BrianV someone in here was just having slow connections [13:13] BrianV: From time to time, yes. [13:13] thedoor: lsmod [13:13] i'll be back, with a new report [13:13] ikonia, thank you =] [13:13] for gimp text how do i change the input language to hind or punjabi on my ubuntu box ? [13:13] misslecommand: Seriously. Write to nvidia and complain. [13:14] ikonia: eh, it's been like this for days; that archive has jsut been timing out [13:14] BrianV: few people have mentioned poor perfomance [13:14] BrianV: Can you ping it? [13:14] what card do you have [13:14] ? [13:14] bb [13:14] it pings [13:14] misslecommand: what card [13:14] ikonia, another question, how i can retrieve the loading of a especific module on the boot,i remove him from the /etc/modules but he continues loading whit the sistem [13:15] just won't accept a connection from apt-get [13:15] !blacklist | thedoor [13:15] thedoor: To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add « blacklist » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » [13:15] BrianV: Can you telnet to it on port 80? [13:16] 80's a browser [13:16] like fire fox [13:16] port 80 [13:16] erpo: I can [13:16] BrianV: Does the line in /etc/apt/sources.list for security.ubuntu.com have an http:// in it? [13:17] erpo: it accepts the connection no problem [13:17] ikonia: it sure looks stuck to me now, :S [13:17] erpo: yes, it does [13:18] samad909: you've said that 2 times [13:18] BrianV: Then something is wrong on your end. apt-get should be trying to connect to security.ubuntu.com on port 80.

Just started cropping up a day or two ago [13:18] BrianV: Wait, is your problem slow response times or that you're unable to connect? [13:19] erpo: apt-get won't connect to it at all [13:19] samad909: try again sthtne [13:19] then [13:19] BrianV: What error message are you getting exactly. [13:19] erpo: all the other repos it connects to without any issues [13:20] ikonia: ctrl+alt+del? shall i just install a basic cmd line system and then do a apt-get install ubuntu-desktop?

[13:20] erpo: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m6fdbb1e8 [13:20] ikonia, thank you =] [13:20] erpo: that is the tail end of an apt-get update [13:20] samad909: installing options should make a difference [13:21] erpo: as you can see, the rest of the repo package list download fine, except that one [13:21] ikonia: if it was stuck ctrl+alt+del shouldnt work right?

[13:31] gerro: Sorry, I'm talking with you on private. Can't really talk about it on open channel [13:31] Slart: probably be easier just adding wine repository [13:32] gerro: well.. if you cedega that wouldn't work.. now would it =) [13:32] if I have to use the noapic command with the livecd, does that mean I will have to use that if I install ubuntu to? [13:32] gerro: hmm.. "if you want cedega" .. [13:32] Slart: actually it would but for legal reasons I wouldn't go that route [13:32] Cedega looks alright, but I dont want to be paying for it [13:32] At least we can be guaranteed that there will be no cedega-like projects in the future.

[14:33] samad909: if not you will atleast be able to fix it later. [14:33] h1st0: hopefully ;) [14:34] samad909: I would start the installation over rather than wait.

[15:11] hi [15:11] sYn_0n3, lol, I didn't think I was getting some "fresh start" to make it quicker or something :P [15:11] ubuntu__: not much, but i was just assuring is possible to install some ide, such as X or gnome [15:11] That would be crazy :P [15:11] i screatch an english we can help for ma english homework [15:11] lol [15:11] i am french [15:11] erUSUL: adapter = wired/static ip/dns ip [15:12] Silly tasksel [15:12] But awesome vim and apt [15:12] it is not dificult [15:12] i try to keep my linux box as clean and un fluttered as possible [15:12] poor_man: yeah it should be possible to install [15:12] I've installed ubuntu 7.10, and my wlan adapter shows up in lspci, but doesn't in ifconfig [15:12] il y a un channel francais - #ubuntu-fr :) [15:12] does anyone here own a ps3? [15:12] do I need to initialize it somehow? === sich is now known as Mania [15:12] I processed my dpkg.log with vim to get a list of all the packages that were removed [15:12] my next endeavor would be to build a custom 128bit os using the ppc ps3 cell processor [15:13] samad909: that's what network manager says? [15:13] Then gave the list to apt [15:13] reinis, sounds like you havent got the drivers for it installed [15:13] ubuntu__: and about X ? is possible or it's simply not possible? i usually associate X with *bsd OS's [15:13] but it would have to be a source build not anything prepackaged like ubuntu [15:13] system>admin>net says wired connection [15:13] X is what gives you the GUI experience poor_man === sich is now known as Mania [15:13] erUSUL: system>admin>net says wired connection [15:13] un_op: but would it be recognized by lspci if I didn't have the drivers? [15:13] erUSUL: shows my hostname, the static ip and the dns ip [15:13] it shows the full name of the device [15:13] reinis, ohh yes [15:14] okay, thanks, so I'll get the drivers [15:14] reinis, lspci just reads info of devices connected upto the PCI bus [15:14] un_op_ so its correct tell that gnome is over X? [15:14] un_op: so its correct tell that gnome is over X? [15:14] reinis, the drivers are what connect the device upto the kernel and so on [15:14] poor_man, thats correct [15:14] un_op: is there a list of suported hw for ubuntu 7.10 somewhere? [15:14] !hcl | reinis [15:14] reinis: 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 [15:14] thanks [15:14] samad909: and you are sure the values are right? you do not use dhcp? [15:15] reinis, well, if you have the make and model read by lspci, its easy just to google for drivers based on that [15:15] erUSUL: yes [15:15] un_op: ok, so to clean up my confusion, X is a standar in linux OS's and over it gnome or kde can run to improve better interface [15:15] samad909: can you paste the output of ifconfig -a [15:15] poor_man, something like that yes [15:15] * ggarlic HELLO [15:16] X is the gui..ie windows [15:16] you can build a linux box in text and only text [15:16] erUSUL: give me one second i will have to copy from no net machine to pen and come to this machine and up to net [15:16] ive done that with gentoo years ago [15:16] but screw 20hr installs [15:16] hence why i went to ubuntu [15:17] poor_man, X provides windowing information, communication, etc and connect devices like keyboards, mice, etc that Desktop environments like gnome and kde build upon in their own ways [15:17] only downside i see with ubuntu is the size of the kernel [15:17] samad909: ouch! then just check that the interace has the correct ip, net mask etc [15:17] but if ur good at kernel hacking..rebuild like i did [15:17] my computer flies...supporting overclocking and all [15:17] Is a common way to install ubuntu networks to mount a server drive at /home ?

[15:20] is there any way to set the vga= mode to one of the options when you type ask? like 132x50 or something [15:20] un_op: All the other setting give the same result: The console area covers only part of the screen.

[15:32] reinis, right, in that case you might need to add an entry for wlan0 in your /etc/network/interface file [15:32] reinis - yes.. sorry [15:32] simonm: it shows up in lspci [15:32] your default setting is too high try it with whatever vga= 640 x 480 is [15:32] erUSUL: ok i will do the modprobe and brb with the results [15:32] un_op: err! With vga=274 there do not appear any Consoles at all.

Then after a time i uninstalled X with apt-get remove but it doesnt uninstall that libraries , how can i search my system and uninstall unneeded libs with apt-get ? ? [15:34] reinis: then you need to find / compile / apt-get install the driver [15:34] simonm: it's supposed to come with 7.10, though [15:34] last_survivor: apt-get autoremove [15:34] the driver is RT61 [15:34] ty [15:34] reinis: sudo modprobe RT61 [15:35] reinis: or might be rt61 [15:35] VESA framebuffer console @ 640x480x32k vga=784 [15:35] Is there a doc for not-so-thin clients?

With vga=0x315 there do not appear any Consoles at all but X is ok.

[15:38] 64mb is a bit small for boot [15:38] joe___: during the installation process? [15:38] I use 256MB [15:38] sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` [15:38] bullgard4, hmm, maybe the setting is too high .. how about vga=0x303 -- thats 800x600 in 8bit mode [15:39] reinis: well i thin kservers arent normally connected wirelessly. [15:39] oops, wrong window :) [15:39] andreus: How much ram do you have and what size hard drive are you working with and is this the only OS on the system [15:39] andreus -- yes, or after.

[15:42] samad909: «sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart» and watch the log [15:42] un_op: With vga=0x313 there do not appear any Consoles at all but X is ok. [15:42] wireless can be unreliable compared t wired,uptime wise [15:42] my wireless is quite stable [15:42] reinis, wireless networks arent as reliable as wired ones ...

[15:46] thus setting all to default [15:46] DSOM - uname -a [15:46] poor_man: rsync is simply a program. You need a system user to be able to run the rsync program from/to.

[15:47] wassy121: ok, and i can create an account that wont be able to login via ssh or console? [15:47] Jack_Sparrow: not sure, ntfs left untouched and i've only marked "/" partition as primary. rest swap and boot were marked a logical [15:47] reinis: because you get interference on wifi [15:47] white_eagle, did you place /home on its own partition? [15:47] no [15:47] white_eagle: Not easily. Why do you need to re-install ubuntu? [15:48] I messed up with the ati drivers [15:48] just specify the output format you want not sure about splitting for dvd man pages and google is your friend [15:48] samad909: so no changes... i'm puzzled i dunno why the network is not working... maybe you can comment you problems on the launchpad thread [15:48] ?

Instead of TwinView I decided to use a Separate X Screen (2 different X screens). My problem is with Synergy Client, I can run it and connect to multiple machines, but I can't get my mouse across both of these 2 screens (the Separate X Screens). Has anyone run into this before, and how would I solve it so I can use synergy on both screens? [16:03] Marce_: perhaps it's executed before network manager, or whatever is it, kicks in to set up your connection. ugly hacky fix that comes first to my mind is, add a "sleep 60" (or some number) before the command, so that its execution is delayed a little. [16:03] LjL: i'll try it, brb [16:04] SubFreeze: I believe that is a question best asked of the synergy folks. I am sure you can use synergy on the two X screens, though. [16:04] samad909, found this no solution though :( http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4037138 [16:04] Duke_Fluke: ok thanks for your time, I will check it out otherwise my only option is to switch back :( [16:04] Marce_: or you could make a proper script in /etc/init.d that is set up to depend on /etc/init.d/networking... however it's not networking that starts network-manager, as far as i can see, so i'm not even sure if that would work. it would be a cleaner solution for sure if it works [16:05] wassy121: I changed my configuration to twinview and have it working. I'll get in touch with them and see if there is an easy solution. [16:05] samad909, good luck sorry [16:06] Duke_Fluke: thanks, np [16:06] LjL, you mean adding my shell script in /etc/init.d and add it in /etc/init.d/networking will be fine? [16:07] .

[16:08] Marce_: no, it's more complicated than that. you should *not* modify /etc/init.d/networking. however, look at the first part of /etc/init.d/networking: you will see that it lists *other* scripts that it depends on (i.e. which must be executed *before* that script is). you could make your own script that states that it depends on networking [16:08] ty [16:08] Marce_: you create it, and then use update-rc.d to install it [16:08] htmljunkie: you should also be able to just right-click on the .iso file and "burn to disc".

I mean should I avoid to do such things? [16:48] Vimes, try sudo apt-get install emerald-theme-manager [16:48] or should i just do 770 and then do another +rx [16:48] Marce__: type "which tzoupdate" to see what the path is [16:48] LjL: ok [16:48] jughead your name justin ?

[17:36] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52156/ [17:36] ... wow... apparently there was something on the disc... just wiped it off and its fine now [17:36] thanks ArthurArchnix [17:36] thanks for the help anyway guys :) [17:36] haha [17:36] im having issues installing apache [17:36] sco50000: im not really sure, thats a good idea to install the drives first [17:36] nimnrod: See those numbers behind it... (0,0) ? [17:36] silent, stop drooling on your cds :) [17:37] ArthurArchnix: i tried that line but it doest work [17:37] so anyone have any idea why my fresh install of kubuntu won't boot? [17:37] nimnrod: That tells grub that Windows is located on the first harddrive (0) and first partition (0). Can you post the output of fdisk -l [17:38] sco50000: the alternate cd chokes too? or is this the alternate cd [17:38] sco50000: is grub isntalled and configured properly?? [17:38] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52157/ this is what the install file says [17:38] ArthurArchnix: the thing is that fdisk tells me that ubuntu is in hd1 but in grub is hd0 and loads boots fine [17:38] sco50000: I know someone with the same problem, and after leaving it for 2hrs it finally booted up [17:38] bazhang: i installed using the alternate cd because the live cd woudn't work in my comp [17:39] noodlesgc: i left it on overnight [17:39] ArthurArchnix: hold oni'll post menu.lst and fdisk [17:39] brobostigon, grub is fine [17:39] sco50000: the alternate has an option to install the drivers iirc--did you avail yourself of that? [17:39] iirc? [17:40] sco50000: does regular ubuntu work? if so just install kubuntu-desktop after [17:40] sorry sco50000 if i recall correctly [17:40] nimnrod: fdisk and grub count differently. Fdisk starts counting at 1, so hd1 is 1. Grub starts counting at zero. So H1 is 0. [17:40] what is iirc? [17:40] If I Recall Correctly [17:40] if i rember correctly [17:40] remember* [17:41] if my memory serves me right [17:41] immsmr? [17:41] all of those sco50000 [17:41] ArthurArchnix: here is menu.lst > http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52158/ [17:41] nimnrod: see my comment above. [17:42] so what drivers can the alternate disk install? [17:42] and just so you know the live cd worked fine in other computers [17:42] iirc = Interactive Illinois Report Card [17:42] i could use some help installing a new program [17:42] which program mahout [17:42] apache [17:42] mahout: what you installing?

[17:43] ArthurArchnix: well here is fdisk anyway > http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52159/ [17:43] idk what lamp is [17:43] If I download a .tar file, then extract it and compile the app from source. then once its installed can I delete the directory I compiled it in or must i leave it? [17:43] i got another quick question regarding dual boot from different drives. I got two drives a 160gb and 40gb i wan to install ubuntu on the big drive and XP on the 40 drive. They are both clean now. What order should i do that in? [17:43] mahout, apache is in the repositories [17:43] ive got a PS/2 keyboard that i plugged in to my laptop with the help of a "PS/2 to USB" adapter. The keyboard flashes once when you plug in, but then ceases to work... any ideas? [17:43] Quicksilva, you can delete the source directory if you want to [17:43] LAMP = linux + apache + mysql + php [17:43] bruenig, thanks [17:44] mahout want a factoid link for that (lamp)? [17:44] bazhang, yes plz [17:44] wat is the fastest way to open the terminal as in any direct shortcut? [17:44] !lamp | mahout [17:44] mahout: 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+) [17:44] im trying to do (in grub shell) "setup (hd1,0)" but i just get "error 12: Invalid device requested" even tho it used to use that disc to boot grub from. any ideas whats wrong? [17:45] mohitkumar: put a shortcut on gnome topbar [17:45] thnx guys i think i can get it from here [17:45] i got two drives. I want to install ubuntu on one and XP on the other. does it matter what order i do this in? [17:45] bazhang, so what should i try to install with the alternate cd. you said something about drivers? [17:45] mhitkumar: i have Alt+~ as terminal launch [17:45] can i define any kb shortcut? [17:45] gil : yes do XP first. saves a lot of bother [17:45] sco50000: the drivers for ati/nvidia [17:46] mohitkumar: or you could use tilda [17:46] Necesito ayuda [17:46] ArthurArchnix: but did you see that grub have the numbers inverted? [17:46] bazhang, do you know where on the alternate cd i can find them? [17:46] gil: alot. im trying to do it the other way around but i cant realy do it tbh. im having lost of problems [17:46] Quijote: escribe /join #ubuntu-es para ayuda en español [17:46] what's a way to figure out your current screen resolution in x? [17:46] Ettesb: ok so if i do XP on one drive and then install gutsy on the other, will grub pick up my XP [17:46] sco50000: at the end of the install process if I recall correctly [17:46] gil: yes, does it its self [17:47] Ettesb: ol [17:47] tilda! ? [17:47] bazhang: i don't remeber that ever coming up [17:47] nimnrod: Yeah. According to everything I understand about Grub that shouldn't work. You're ubuntu shouldn't be booting. :) Are these sata drives? I've read they act differently (no master slave settings or something). [17:47] mohitkumar: sudo apt-get install tilda [17:47] help me with my network card, i cant get it to work, i just compiled the driver from the source and still no luck :S [17:47] Ettesb: ok last time i did this with fedora it didnt find my XP. i had to manually add it into the grub menu.1st [17:47] Anyway, try this, we'll just tell grub that windows is the second disk, since it clearly thinks that ubuntu is the first. [17:47] seek 3on3 now server on (= [17:47] mohitkumar: I get a dropdown termial when I press Alt+1 [17:48] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52160/ [17:48] ArthurArchnix: i tried that... didnt work [17:48] bazhang: any idea what i should try now? [17:48] not working here:( [17:49] ArthurArchnix: im going to mount my two hard drives here and do a sudo grub-update [17:49] nimnrod: In your current menu.lst you don't even have a windows entry... why is that? [17:49] mohitkumar you have to set it up [17:49] ArthurArchnix: sorry i didnt post it, but i do have it.. is the same you sent me [17:49] mohitkumar: type: tilda [17:49] guide me to the power of terminal [17:50] nimnrod: (1,0) you mean, no (0,0) right? [17:50] hi everybody! How do I start a program automatically to a specific desktop? [17:50] ArthurArchnix: yeah [17:50] !devilspie > gewoonm (read the private message from ubotu) [17:51] ArthurArchnix: wait let me do something here... i'll be right back [17:51] mohitkumar: after you install tilda just start it and you get a first-run setup dialog [17:51] ok [17:52] sco50000: just a moment.. [17:52] Hey all,... is it possible to have XP and Vista in menu.lst ??? [17:52] jrib, thanks! ;) [17:52] SoulChild, i don't see any reason why not [17:52] SoulChild: it should be [17:52] Hi PriceChild and pike_. I'm back.

[17:54] mohitkumar: afterwards you can go to System->Preferences->Sessions and and tilda -h [17:54] can someone tell me why my xorg.conf looks like this? http://pastebin.ca/857448 [17:54] hi [17:54] I need help with my Ubuntu installation CD [17:55] moad: add keyboard indicator to your panel [17:55] widdle: what's wrong? [17:55] danube: is that an app ? [17:55] WorkingOnWise, just do a dpkg-reconfigure [17:55] sco50000: you say that the boot stops at the same section as the livecd; where is that? can you choose the safe boot option [17:55] WorkingOnWise, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [17:55] hang on guyz, i still have 9 minutes tog with the update manager:( [17:56] moad: yep. it indicates the current keyboard layout and you can easily switch (if that is what you need) [17:56] SoulChild http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=566874 [17:56] mohitkumar: that's a large update [17:56] danube: I downloaded Ubuntu Desktop 7.10 (link: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download), burned it with MagicISO (bootable CD) and when i reboot my computer for "Start/Instal Ubuntu" my computer is "freezing" [17:56] silent: I did, and with --phigh. I have also cleared the file totally, and reran both. same thing [17:56] danube: how do i set up to be write in multiple languages ? and isnt there any shortcut like ctrl+shift ? [17:56] bazhang, the safe graphics mode of the live cd didn't work either and it stops just a fewpixels before the loading bar is finished [17:56] danube: I did a Memory Check, an Integrity check, but no work done. [17:56] WorkingOnWise, what's wrong with it? [17:57] danube: I tried to install another copy of Ubuntu Desktop and burn 2-3 more times with other blank CD, but nothing. [17:57] moad: you can set up keyboard shortcuts there [17:57] widdle: did you try the alternate cd? [17:57] bazhang: should i try to boot in recovery mode? [17:57] "Configured Device" for video and mouse. [17:57] Is it safe to have a transparent cube when not rotating? I mean, a transparent desktop that shows the cube beneath it? or does it slow things down horribly? [17:57] danube: What do you mean? === BernardB` is now known as BBking [17:57] sco50000: how much ram which card wired or wireless--can you try recovery mode? === BBking is now known as BernardB [17:58] WorkingOnWise, does your monitor and mouse work? [17:58] i guess i would work on the tilda later [17:58] silent: it does, but not near as well as it has in the past [17:58] Arelis: safe enough if you have the video card for it [17:58] gotta sleep its almost midnight here in India [17:58] bazhang: an ATI Radeon 9600 [17:58] widdle: on http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download you're able to download an alternate installer cd. simply check the control box below the START DOWNLOAD link [17:58] WorkingOnWise, what do you mean? the monitor/mouse only work one way [17:58] thanks guyz [17:59] bazhang, i have 2GB of RAM, a wired and a wireless card, when i tried to boot i had the wired plugged in, and i will try to boot in recovery mode now [17:59] Arelis: if compiz normally works okay then you should be fine with that [17:59] bazhang: I'm experiencing SOME slowdown.. but not much. And i'm using the open-source radeon driver. Although things are hard to read when using compiz's features, since everything's pixelly [17:59] bazhang: alright [17:59] sco50000: okay [18:00] silent: I should be able to coifigure my xserver and I can't, save for the keyboard. I want to chance video drivers to see if I can fix the black window problem I have. [18:00] bazhang, someone else said it might be a video problem [18:00] does any one know how to get ubuntu to work on a dell inspiron 1100 when i try to boot from the live cd the screen gets messed up [18:00] hi, does someone know if the HP Pavilion Media Center dv9636ef is tatooed? [18:00] danube: What's the difference of that? === gaurav__ is now known as gaurav_ [18:00] Arelis: by the way; dont let that crowd in offtopic scare you off :} [18:00] hack184: what gfx card? [18:00] bazhang, is there a way i can boot normally and see what is happening (not just the loading bar)? [18:00] WorkingOnWise, add the driver option to xorg [18:00] sco50000: what card for video [18:00] bazhang: alright :) [18:01] bazhang, ATI Radeon 9550 [18:01] bazhang: It's my fault too, because i kind of used it like a support channel and kept asking some same questions. [18:01] sco50000: rmove usplash [18:01] !hdtv [18:01] Sorry, I don't know anything about hdtv - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [18:01] *remove [18:01] widdle: it provides more compatibility [18:01] noodlesgc, what? [18:01] sco50000: which drivers, and also listen to noodlesgc [18:01] sco50000: to get rid of loading screen sudo apt-get remove usplash [18:01] bazhang, i don't know what drivers i have on ubuntu [18:02] Hi! i bought a Nokia N95 8GB yesterday and i am trying to figure out how to use SyncML. How do i sync the phone with Evolution? [18:02] noodlesgc, i don't want to get rid of it permanently [18:02] noodlesgc, or can i just reinstall it later? [18:02] sco50000: reinstall it later [18:02] hold on i'm checking [18:02] ok [18:02] sco50000: you can reinstall it later--this is for troubleshooting now and to find out what drivers you have [18:02] WorkingOnWise, http://pastebin.ca/857481 [18:02] k, i'll go boot up in recovery mode [18:03] sco50000: alrighty [18:04] intel 82845G\GL\GE\PE\GV [18:04] hack184: boot into safe graphics mode [18:04] ok i think i may have tried that though [18:04] silent: I think I have a bigger problem that that. I shouldn't need to do that ever, unless I have some unsupported video, right? I have Nvidia GeForce Go 6100 [18:04] i like cheese! [18:05] if i would like to install xfce, but keep gnome, what is the best way? isntall the xubuntu-desktop package? And also, what is the best way to uninstall all the xubuntu-desktop packages? [18:05] BRb [18:05] noodlesgc, it removed kubuntu-desktop along with usplash [18:05] hi, does someone know if the HP Pavilion Media Center dv9636ef is locked?? [18:05] mullet-: bring it to #ubuntu-offtopic :} [18:05] sco50000: it doesnt matter, kubuntu-desktop is a meta-package [18:05] noodlesgc, so how do i check my drivers? [18:05] Goodgame: locked? [18:06] WorkingOnWise, you never know what you should or shouldn't do... everything is conditional. Try installing nvidia-glx for that card [18:06] magnetron: check this out http://www.estamos.de/projects/SyncML/ [18:06] silent: it's installed. [18:06] WorkingOnWise, I know the linux installer for nvidia reconfigures xorg appropriately [18:06] WorkingOnWise, check to see if adding driver "nvidia" helps [18:06] sco50000: now that you can see your bootup, did you see anything suspicous? [18:07] silent: I'll do that. bbl ty [18:07] mullet-: as the pastafarians say when discussing there favorite toppings: what a friend we have in cheeses [18:07] noodlesgc, i just got an idea, on my xp, if i plugged the monitor into my vid card it used the ati drivers, but if i pluged into the motherboard, it used winxp drivers [18:07] sco50000: you trying out Kubuntu? Beware, there's problems with Flash in kubuntu, moreso than in Ubuntu [18:07] ballongen, yes [18:07] i'm going to try plugging into the motherboard [18:07] I would be a pastafarian, but I believe in letting religion die gracefully instead of mocking it in its last gasps for breath [18:08] darkkith: TY [18:09] A little video help... please [18:09] silent, a pastafarian? Is that a guy from Jamaica who loves noodles? [18:09] sethk: www.venganza.org [18:09] sethk, no, I'm afraid not. [18:09] I changed my video drivers in hopes of making compiz work [18:09] noodlesgc, it got to "Starting Abstraction Layer Hald [OK]" then just sits there [18:09] waay offtopic [18:09] now I cannot get X to work at all [18:10] How do I get back to the previous drivers [18:10] sco50000: thats odd [18:10] jlovell, xorg.conf [18:10] thanks! [18:10] noodlesgc, i'm going to try to plug my monitor into my motherboard now, becaus ethat had an effect in windows [18:10] sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [18:10] is there any fix to miro not starting up proprly lately? (basically it downloads but the window is empty) [18:10] geenfly http://pastebin.ca/857491 [18:10] jlovell: if you're lucky, you'll find lots of versions of xorg.conf in /etc/X11, then you can just try them out, till X starts :) [18:11] jlovell, you can also do a dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg as a last resort to build a new custom xorg [18:11] it has selection for drivers [18:11] i need help in setting up a attansic l2 ethernet addapter, i tried compiling my own driver and such but it says link is not ready [18:11] jlovell: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, thats one possibility to reconfigure xorg too.?? [18:11] samad909: eeepc? [18:11] so if i uninstall the xubuntu-desktop package, everything that installs with that package, will be removed? [18:11] bazhang: what is eeepc? [18:12] bazhang: it is a wired onboard card [18:12] eeepc => use eeexubuntu [18:12] samad909: a laptop that uses that card [18:12] hi , i was wondering here, because a like very much manually build some of my applications (httpd, php, mysqld) using ./configure; make && make install; and a have a question: how apt-get will deal with my software, when he will be a pre-req of a package? anyone knows? [18:12] ballongen: i don't think it will. you may have to select purge, and then it will remove the rest [18:12] bazhang: nope, i am on a desktop [18:12] howlingmadhowie: ah ok [18:13] !flash [18:13] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [18:13] 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. [18:13] BBChuck: i don't think it will [18:13] danube: I tried that but same error! [18:13] [howlingmadhowie]: so the apt-get will not know about their existance? [18:14] widdle: where exactly does it stop? [18:14] after it loads all the files and the [OK] appear.. [18:14] anyone have any ideas? [18:14] BBChuck: i can't see how it could. you can however set flags in apt by altering the database files manually. i'm not sure that's a good idea however [18:15] BBChuck: unless you really know what you're doing [18:15] hy all [18:15] noodlesgc, pluggint into the motherboard got nothing coming to my monitor at all, so ehat should i try now? [18:15] BBChuck: what you could do, is make debs out of your compiled programs and then install the deb, just don't ask me how that works in detail [18:15] is it can be combo tiem now please? [18:16] that didn't work [18:16] [howlingmadhowie]: cool, i will search about that.. i've found something about this, but not in details.. some of messing with ./configure options..

Did you format the hard drive during the install? [18:28] Kylie2008-> maybe you want to visit microsoft sql server channel? [18:28] danube: actually it's freezing when he ends loading. He finished the loading and a new window appear and there its all blank [18:28] bkar, let me check [18:28] Kylie2008: i could help you a bit with general sql syntax [18:28] widdle: is it black? or do you see any graphic?

[18:31] yes [18:31] do you think another version of linux would work [18:31] howlingmadhowie, I'm confused with some syntax that I'm seeing all over the internet: @table_name N'customers' what is the significance of the N before the literal 'customers' [18:31] danube: what's the 'fx' button? [18:31] bkar, it did not work [18:31] sorry LibertyShadow i didnt see you i appologize [18:31] Hello, I have a usb hard disk, when i connect it to my ubuntu box it does not recognize that anything is connected, but the hard disk has power how to do i access data on the hard disk ...please help [18:31] bkar, I'm in that channel and sadly no one is awake, or answering [18:31] runa_ : nevermind [18:31] abuyazan-> oh well, we have to google for that [18:31] widdle: F1, F2, F3, ... you should try F9 to see where it stops. [18:32] yup, in a terminal i type sudo /sudo -i but this still dosent give me full access to root, like when browsing the hard drive files @ howl [18:32] Kylie2008: good question. let me see if i can find out [18:32] ok i will from my side [18:32] widdle: sorry, F8 [18:32] can u rewrite the mesg [18:32] Kylie2008-> be patient [18:32] danube: tried that, but nothing changes :) [18:32] runa_ then when you install ubuntu you should tell it to reformat the partition for linux. that should correct the problems you see and install a good copy of ubuntu....since you are going to reformat it anyway. [18:32] silent: no good. instead of having unknown video with full 3d support, I have unknown fideo with only 2d support. [18:32] wotamuckinfuddle-> sudo -i not sudo /sudo -i [18:33] How do I do this? - [18:33] th0r it does not do it [18:33] How do I do this? -> "If you are having problems connecting, enable the extra package repositories and install linux-restricted-modules, and don't forget wpa-supplicant if you need to use WPA security." [18:33] widdle: ok, then it's really dead. strange... [18:33] howslingmadhowie, it seems like it's being used when an "object" is expected..... but nto sure if that's the reason [18:33] wotamuckinfuddle, what do you do after issuing sudo -i that doesnt give you full root access? [18:33] Kylie2008: looks like a microsoft thing. i can't find an example of that in mysql syntax [18:33] can u rewrite what u wrote [18:33] anyone know why my fresh install of kubuntu won't boot? [18:33] no not full access unop [18:33] cant i do it from the livecd [18:34] howlingmadhowie, apparently gedit is checking the user number of remote files? I'm looking here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHFS [18:34] th0r [18:34] Huffalump-> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=263136 <-- very good article [18:34] anyone know why my fresh install of kubuntu won't boot? [18:34] widdle: what's your hardware? [18:34] wotamuckinfuddle, I don't get it -- you said it doesnt give you full access?? [18:34] runa_ you can, but why? If you are going to install ubuntu just do the format as part of the install. [18:34] noonan: now you mention it, i can remember something about that. then you can create uid mappings in a configuration file. one gets the impression that sshfs is only really useful if you're using yellowpages or similar [18:35] howlingmadhowie!!!! hey I just found it on esperts-exchange!...... : N'some string' -- Defines that you are specifying a nvarchar/nchar string and not a varchar string. [18:35] it does not do it [18:35] thats why [18:35] noodlesgc, you still here? [18:35] Kylie2008: is that just for mssql or for all types? [18:35] Thank you, bkar. I will give it a go. [18:35] howlilngmadhowie... other people write: the "N" has reference to Unicode strings, which technically sql server requires for executing dynamic sql in some instances. in some cases i can exec strings without it, sometimes i seem to need it. [18:35] if i type sudo -i, i still cant make changes to some of the files on my hard drive @ unop [18:35] howlingmadhowie. I think so [18:36] Kylie2008: then i won't bother remembering it :-D [18:36] runa_ anyway, you can reformat with the command mkfs or mkfs.ext3 if that is the file format you want [18:36] has anyone here successfully gotten the asus p5gc-mx mobo onboard lan to work? [18:36] howlingmadhowie..... :P thanks for the help anyway [18:36] wotamuckinfuddle-> why do you have the need to change the files? like what for example? [18:36] wotamuckinfuddle, well, i got that -- i asked what you are doing after issuing a sudo that leads you to have problems -- are you launching programs from within the root shell? [18:36] can someone tell me why my xorg.conf looks like this? http://pastebin.ca/857448. I have already done sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and sudo dpkg-reconfigure-phigh xserver-xorg, and cleared the xorg.conf and reran each. still no change.

[18:38] brobostigon:how do i get it ? [18:38] howlingmadhowie, sorry, you lost me : ) so I can get this to work in the ssh config file by adding uid mappings? [18:38] moad: open terminnal/cli, and then type top. [18:38] moad, gnome-system-monitor [18:39] nope, im using wine to run mirc, i want to edit the files in drive_c/program files so i can add scripts ie. trivia @ unop [18:39] moad: System>Administration>System Monitor is what you want [18:39] it is not in my dev/ [18:39] i have never seen this before i dont know what to do [18:39] can u help me th0r [18:39] can anyone tell me if KDE4 is availble thru synaptic? === Switch1 is now known as Switch^ [18:40] runa_ never seen what before?

It depends on what repositories you have availible [18:40] runa_ have you tried to install ubuntu?

[18:41] wotamuckinfuddle, be very careful with what you do in that window -- it's running as root and you can do serious damage if you are not careful [18:41] howlingmadhowie, thanks for pointing me in the right direction [18:41] so how do i get on installing KDE4 on ubuntu [18:41] !kde4 | mkr [18:41] mkr: KDE 4.0 is the latest major release of the K Desktop Environment.

[18:42] runa_ it is necessary for linux to reside on a linux filesystem, so you need to reformat the partition youinstall ubuntu to. [18:42] mkr: hm ok. I'd say no then. What i meant is that the packages you see in synaptic are simply a compiled list of all the packages in all the repositories that you are using.

[18:59] no, I'm not entirely sure whats on the DVD [18:59] autumnale: You can use apt-cdrom to set up the dvd as a repository to install from when no internet available. It has most of the common packages that are not installed by default but normally available [18:59] slliness - thanks [19:00] kidem: you need to burn a data disc, if you burn as music, the mp3s probably get decompressed back to .wav -- the you can only have 12-15 tracks or so [19:00] i get the error intel.rng :fwh not found after trying to boot using a live cd [19:00] ah thanks genii [19:00] or sOK the back port think seems to have sorted it out [19:00] MrObvious, i have one 150G raptor which i'm using to oses, and a 300 G for home folder, i have 70+G space open on the raptor for the install [19:00] hm, is the dvd only awailible in bittorent?

[19:16] I only know it needs to end up as "-rwxr-sr-x", not how to get there [19:17] Phusion: Seems likely :) [19:17] so how do i solve the booting problem? [19:17] neopsyche:well for one the size of a laptop. they are not made to be servers even more so a 133( you said? ). if you have a PC with 2x HDs that is understandable. my 10 year old thinkpad had boot issues. the boot loader on the HD prevented it from booting form CD on the thinkpad [19:17] neopsyche: atlanix asked you if you had a thinkpad and you told him you had a scsi hdd so he said that it can't be a thinkpad with that hard drive [19:17] Kay_: have a look here: http://rasher.dk/UbuntuOnMyBook255/ [19:17] slliness: except for that gui doesnt show the true resolutions the display can handle. only 640x480 and 800x640 [19:17] Hi all. I have recently re-discovered the ability to modify programs on Ubuntu. Well, i haven't tried it yet, but maybe it's handy. Is it easy? Does it take much time? [19:17] neopsyche: i had to swap out the HD with another laptop and install and then it would boot from the CD once the drive was put back into the old laptop [19:18] neopsyche: well do you have the alternative install cd? I assume you're trying to boot into linux. I don't think the livecd will boot with the amount of ram you have. [19:18] tanner under screens and graphics [19:18] when i run firestarter, it says ethX isnt ready and creates a new ethX, and recognizes that. recently updated to 7.1, had no problem in fiesty [19:18] question? i need to open up the sound thing from terminal to set up the line out what is the command? [19:18] neopsyche: it needs 320mb i thought. I might be wrong. [19:18] thanks howlingmadhowie [19:18] slliness: and in the nvidia-settings program [19:18] Hi every one! [19:18] Can someone recommend a server configuration for Ubuntu if I want to use it to run Drupal? [19:18] arthur37854, there are several mix applications. I use kmix, but I use KDE [19:19] Kay_: i just hope it works :) [19:19] gnome [19:19] <_mug> hoi roshi [19:19] QuickGold: LAMP [19:19] atlantix: I meant hardware wise [19:19] how to change PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable ubuntu [19:19] i think it was alsa but dont remember excatly [19:20] so you have the nvidia control panel installed too! [19:20] QuickGold: 500MHz with 512 ram should do it.. unless you are going to run heavy MySQL with Drupal [19:20] I have a question. so does it matter if I get the ubuntu dvd or the kunbutu dvd? I can install KDE 4 with a ubuntu dvd install right? [19:20] Yes, it's going to be a heavy site....has to support hundreds of users [19:20] QuickGold: also based on the number of conections [19:20] how do you change permissions if the owner is root, it wont allow me , but i get an error message on start up, saying the home directory has to be owned by user. [19:20] forgive me as it has been awhile since I have ever had to tinker with nvidia since gusty tanner [19:21] so you have the nvidia control panel installed too! tanner [19:21] rama_8086 'export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=<...>' [19:21] slliness: yes [19:21] hi there! there's a popup coming every time I login... I put a screenshot here --> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=667151 [19:21] QuickGold: dual socket Xeons 2.8 or getter. dual core doesn't matter... 2 gigs of ram or better [19:21] have no idea what's happening [19:21] and that is telling you false resolutions as well [19:21] and that is telling you false resolutions as well tanner [19:22] !dual-head [19:22] atlantix: Thanks! Anything else hardware wise I should consider? [19:22] Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama [19:22] if you want speed go with a your HDs spanned across one another and mirror the setup [19:22] roshi: sudo chown $(whoami) ~/ [19:22] slliness: it only allows for two options for resolutions. [19:22] Raid5 if you want greater up time [19:22] tanner have you ever edited xorg.conf [19:22] thOr, is it right export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/lib/pkgconfig" [19:22] Raid5, eh? Okay, I'll make a note of that [19:22] export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/lib/pkgconfig" [19:23] slliness: yes [19:23] but raid5 is slightly slower than mirror but is safer [19:23] rama_8086 if you want to ADD to the config path it is 'export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=<$PKG_CONFIG_PATH::..> [19:23] tanner in this install [19:23] go hardware raid/mirror no matter what [19:23] Safer in terms of backup? [19:23] I am having problem with my xserver that seem to be usolvable. in the intret of time, I am reinstalling...again! My question is this. If I leave my /home dir in place, and have the installer only format the / partition, is there any chance that anything of X will remain on my system? [19:23] slliness: yes [19:23] rama_8086: /usr/lib/pkgconfig and /usr/share/pkgconfig are compiled into pkgconfig by default, so you don't need to add them ever [19:23] you do not want your raid or mirror to be software [19:23] can you pastebin it tanner [19:23] Right [19:23] hardware also allows for a hotswap [19:24] QuickGold: look into an HP DL 160 or something like that [19:24] I am having problem with my xserver that seem to be unsolvable. in the intrest of time, I am reinstalling...again! My question is this. If I leave my /home dir in place, and have the installer only format the / partition, is there any chance that anything of X will remain on my system? Spell checked for readability ...sorry. [19:24] slliness: http://pastebin.com/m767b0c9c [19:24] I'll take a look at that HP model, thanks [19:24] tanner you wwant twinview on xinerama? [19:24] I had been looking at Dells [19:24] you don't have to max it out... but you will get the gist of it... also moving your database to another server will allo more connections [19:24] WorkingOnWise shouldn't [19:24] so run 2 servers one web and the other database [19:25] atlantix: can you make hardware recommendations for the MySQL box? [19:25] * atlanix-org loves the hardware in HP [19:25] Hello. How can I run the Qt demo application in Ubuntu? [19:25] hello [19:25] It doesn't seem to be in any .deb package as far as I can see. [19:25] hello again, [19:25] th0r: will I get so luck as to have all my apps still configured the way they are now, at least the ones that live in my /home dir? [19:25] lucky [19:25] QuickGold: about the same. for a database server i would use Raid5+1 that is 4 drives. [19:25] crdlb, when iam configuring a code it is showing checking for gtk-config... no [19:25] checking for GTK - version >= 1.2.5... no [19:25] *** The gtk-config script installed by GTK could not be found [19:25] *** If GTK was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in [19:25] *** your path, or set the GTK_CONFIG environment variable to the [19:25] *** full path to gtk-config.

[19:26] rama_8086: don't paste that in here! [19:26] 15k drives for both web and db boxes? [19:26] WorkingOnWise yes, all your app configs reside in your home dir...the whole point of having /home on a separate partition is exactly what you are after [19:26] can some one tell me what it means to own your home directory, when the permissions are "owned by root"? [19:26] tanner right i just want to know if you wan to mirror or not [19:26] rama_8086: Please read and understand what the pastebin is and how to use it [19:26] seek 3on3 tf2 now server on [19:27] QuickGold: sure why not .. should for the database.. web doesn't have to be.. but the faster you are the faster you will serv up pages [19:27] exit [19:27] Right, that makes sense [19:27] sorry tanner brb have to find cigs just got up awhile ago [19:27] I have a dial up internet connection and neither network manager nor modem lights work [19:27] roshi: You can read write and run any files you create in your own home area. [19:27] Hi all i am really stuck here installing ubuntu but it keeps giving me errno 5 i did all search i could i also tried solutions given on forums but nothing is working [19:27] slliness: alright [19:27] th0r: that is So not like Windows! sory for the comparison, but its what I am familiar with. [19:27] What's the difference between autogen.sh and configure? [19:27] QuickGold: it is also better security to have your mysql database on another server than your web server [19:27] !clone [19:27] !dialup [19:27] To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate [19:27] atlantix: What flavor of ubuntu would you use?

Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto - Also try disabling/removing KNetworkManager if KDE applications cannot connect using dial-up [19:27] what can I use to dial up and monitor the connection [19:27] just safer that way [19:27] thor,what should i do now [19:27] any idea for the weird popup? [19:28] I was going to go with the two box approach but your comments cemented the idea for me [19:28] WorkingOnWise wasn't that the point all along [19:28] cigs and pepsi breakfast of champs [19:28] Eugen [19:28] i'm really starting to hate Ubuntu :( [19:28] I'm already connected but I want to monitor the connection like on kde something in tray area [19:28] genii :'I've tried to change permissions but it wont' let me get passed to the home directory through/places [19:28] th0r,workingonwise means [19:28] sco50000 then you will probably be happiest returning to windows [19:28] th0r: lol...yup! [19:29] QuickGold: I don't know if i would use a Ubuntu server for that. Ubuntu has a little to much bloat for the speed I would want... If i were to use Ubuntu though I would wait til 8.04 or use the last LTS 6.06 i think.. can't remember right now [19:29] roshi: can you explain more on what you are trying to do? [19:29] th0r, but i hate windows more :( [19:29] What's the difference between autogen.sh and configure? [19:29] ader10: autogen.sh generates the configure file, you'll only find autogen.sh files in source repositories containing development code (git, svn, cvs), released tarballs will have the configure file generated for you [19:29] !easybcd [19:29] sco50000 there's always apple [19:29] Sorry, I don't know anything about easybcd - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [19:29] crdlb: thanks [19:29] Is there another distro you'd recommend? Like CentOS? [19:29] with a fresh install of Ubuntu, i can't even boot [19:29] roshi: username of fred owns everything underneath /home/Fred he can't go to just /home because that is directory one above what he has rights to [19:30] th0r, don't even get me started on hoe much i hate apple [19:30] how* [19:30] sco50000: What do you get... cli... [19:30] QuickGold: a CLI debian qould work very well or Ubuntu.. just no need to install the GUI unless you are not savy enough to use the CLI [19:30] sco50000: have you tried switching to another console when the boot hangs? [19:30] it won't let me [19:30] hang on tanner Im going to try and find a simpler xorg as this one is got way too much stuff in it for what you would like to do [19:30] Jack_Sparrow: when I log into the computer the first thing it says is that the $Home directory has to be owned by user permission644! [19:30] Yea, I'm not too good with the CLI [19:30] QuickGold for a server you might consider suse with just xfce for a wm [19:30] sco50000: at this point I would just recommend a different distro, try Suse, and freespire [19:30] Hi all i am really stuck here installing ubuntu but it keeps giving me errno 5 i did all search i could i also tried solutions given on forums but nothing is working [19:31] i have tried suse, and it worked, but i really don't like it as much [19:31] Jack Sparrow: I do not know haw to comply to this request! [19:31] i might go with debian [19:31] slliness: alright [19:31] Good point th0r [19:31] roshi: Have you been using root access for things recently... Did this setup ever work. how recent is the problem [19:31] what would happen if i run fsck on an NTFS drive? [19:31] sco50000: yeah debian is really good, ubuntu is actually debain based [19:31] noodlesgc, i started kubuntu in recovery mode and typed startx and i got a kde session as root [19:32] hello, im running kubuntu 7.10, if i loose wifi connection, then i have a problem when it tries to connect again, on the same accesspoint, that i have to reboot my laptop, before i can connect again [19:32] i have a friend who has a lot of problems and is trying to format the drive into any file system [19:32] J_Sparrow: Pretty recent and I don't know what you mean? [19:32] roshi: you'll need to chmod your $HOME :) you can do that graphically under gnome [19:32] roshi: Did your computer ever work with ubuntu. [19:32] QuickGold: you really do not want process cycles to go to a GUI if you can help it [19:33] howlingmadhowie: My real concern is how it got messed up in the first place [19:33] i recently backed up an image of my root partition. at that point it was /dev/sda2 i then wiped my drive and installed mac os x then followed the steps on the ubuntu macbook community website for a dual boot with ubuntu. after a fresh install i saved the boot folder from my new root partition and then restored it from the image. then i copied the saved boot directory to the restored root directory and went to boot and i get: GRUB _(blinking [19:33] ) that's it. it jsut hangs [19:33] cached: I don't think there would be any problem with formatting an NTFS drive from Ubuntu, as long as you don't mind formatting it into, say, FAT32. [19:33] gotta go renstall ubuntu! wml! [19:33] QuickGold: i would change the start init to some thing other than the GUI one and when you need the GUI start it up. other wise stay out of it [19:33] roshi: If ubuntu is not working for you, try using a different variant of linux (Xubuntu, SUSE, Red hat etc) [19:33] Jack_Sparrow: i've seen it before, but i can't remember where... [19:33] cached: But I sincerely doubt there are any reliable tools for formatting a drive /into/ NTFS from Ubuntu. Could be wrong. [19:33] swuboo: the last few times he tried formatting it, it didnt work (tried from a mac and windows) [19:34] so anyone have any idea why live cds and fresh installs of kubuntu can't boot in my comp? [19:34] Good evening. [19:34] J-Sparrow: I used to have Windows98, but I switched to ubuntu since my computer was sloww and it has worked very well in the past , but I just had to reboot it again and it is still giving me the directions!@ [19:34] howlingmadhowie: I've seen it from people running as gui programs as sudo instead of gksudo [19:34] atlanix-org QuickGold:another reason not to use ubuntu...you can start suse at runlevel 3 and bypass the wm [19:34] swuboo: he ran chkdsk a few times and the drive's gotten better (6MB/s transfer now instead of 16KB/s) but it's still not ideal [19:34] i recently backed up an image of my root partition. at that point it was /dev/sda2 i then wiped my drive and installed mac os x then followed the steps on the ubuntu macbook community website for a dual boot with ubuntu. after a fresh install i saved the boot folder from my new root partition and then restored it from the image. then i copied the saved boot directory to the restored root directory and went to boot and i get: GRUB _(blinking [19:34] ) that's it. it just hangs [19:34] the most painless way to resize an image? [19:34] Jack_Sparrow: oh yes. that makes sense [19:34] white_eagle try gparted [19:34] so anyone have any idea why live cds and fresh installs of kubuntu can't boot in my comp? [19:34] swuboo: it got messed up when vista restarted (due to auto updates) when he was formatting [19:34] white_eagle, from the live cd [19:34] * atlanix-org nods @ th0r [19:35] howlingmadhowie: Which takes me back to my original question to him.. Which he has not answered [19:35] hey [19:35] sco50000: Do you have some intel based video? [19:35] I think that we use a slackware LAMP here at the office [19:35] notskall, I meant an image (.jpg) [19:35] cached: Sounds like a physical problem with the drive. Does Windows treat it as a DMA drive, or as PIO? [19:35] genii, i have an ATI Radeon 9550 [19:35] it could be a Deb LAMP [19:35] no , I meant an image (.jpg) [19:35] set a buddy pounce in pidgin and now can't get it to stop, any ideas [19:35] hey tanner I can back to you but I have some stupid card card thing phoning my house trying to get me to lower interest rates and would like them to quit calling cause it is dumb but heres a start if you would like http://www.ublug.org/howtos/ubuntu/twinview/twinview-howto-laptop.html [19:35] sco50000: single boot system or dual... [19:35] swuboo: i don't know. but would a shutdown during format really cause a physical problem? [19:35] but they don't have GUI's [19:35] Jack_Sparrow, dual [19:36] cached: No, probably not.

[19:36] it hangs on "Starting Hardware Abstraction layer Hald [OK]" [19:36] slliness: thanks, i'll keep trying [19:36] cached: But a partial format might cause it to make memory errors in DMA mode, and I know that ---with XP at least--- once a drive has made three DMA errors, it is forever relegated to PIO mode. [19:36] how to resize an image (.jpg, .gif, .png)? [19:36] whew!!!! That was close! Almost forgot. Where is the apt-get cache at? [19:37] sco50000: What happens when you go into recovery mode [19:37] atlanix-org I would install a lightweight wm like xfce or fluxbox...wouldn't waste space on gnome or kde. But like you pointed out start at run level 3 and just invoke X if you need it [19:37] hmm [19:37] and ill be back in a moment (phone keeps ringing) you do have xinerama and twinview enabled [19:37] My program has a generated a table of strings arranged in rows and columns. Is there some Ubuntu package that will print this table nicely? Ideally, something in Postscript or PDF with lines separating the columns and separating every fith row. [19:37] swuboo: so what do you recommend i tell him? [19:37] Jack_Sparrow, then it works fine and i get a root prompt [19:37] test [19:37] hi [19:37] howlingmad...: How did you say to chmod home directory what through gnome? [19:37] cached: I'd definitely give formatting it into FAT32 from a LiveCD a go. [19:37] Jack_Sparrow, and i can do 'startx' and get a root kde session [19:37] hallo [19:37] and ill be back in a moment (phone keeps ringing) you do have xinerama and twinview enabled tanner which I think is a conflict of interest [19:38] sco50000: From there I would try sodu dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg select vesa as my video card and 1024 max res just to see if you get the gui [19:38] the live cd hangs at the same spot but works fine in my dad's comp [19:38] roadfish: You could always use OpenOffice as a spreadsheet and import it that way and see if that works for you. [19:38] swuboo: is it possible to format into Ext3 instead? [19:38] cached: If it works, then try reformatting it into NTFS via the Vista install. If it works, everything should be gravy. [19:38] hey th0r still having problems with my GRUB menu.. [19:38] th0r: good point. we shell in so much just seems pointless to have a GUI [19:38] how to resize an image (.jpg, .gif, .png)??? [19:38] Someone knows how to connect to a irc server by telnet ? [19:38] Jack_Sparrow, okay i'll try all that [19:38] sco50000: obviously I meant sudo [19:38] atlanix-org yeah...for the most part I agree...but there is always that one exception [19:38] cached: I don't see why it wouldn't be, but if you plan to install Vista on the drive after you're done formatting it, I don't see why you would. [19:38] MrObvious: ok, thanks ... was that supposed to be obvious [19:39] Wannabe: It's complicated and you'll have to learn the RFC 1458 to do it. [19:39] punkshui trying to add vista to grub?

[19:39] th0r no.. trying to allow ubuntu to boot.. i have a dual boot with mac os x [19:39] cached: That's what you said you were planning, right? Reformat it, and then install Vista on it? [19:39] sco50000: You can do the reconfigure command from the recovery terminal, then to enter normal runlevel do: telinit 2 and gdm should start (if installed) [19:39] * atlanix-org uses Vista disk as skeets [19:39] swuboo: it was an external drive that was messed up, not the one with the OS installation on it. he just wants it as a drive to use for transferring things he captured on his PVR to [19:40] genii, it would be kdm [19:40] punkshui ok...need to keep the issues straight . Can you get into the live cd? [19:40] th0r i figured out some important info. when i made this backup image my partitions were arranged differently.. i htink maybe grub is trying to load a partition with os x on it.

[19:46] !es [19:46] Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda. [19:47] bueno esta de acuerdo [19:47] andreas__, go for it [19:47] thegooner: If it needs another swap file it will just recreate it again. But the issue many times is: Windows reports the free size of the drive misleading since it does not consider the swap file to be taking permanent room. So if you shrink a drive to where windows reports it's usage and the swap file is a gig the partitioner sees still that you have told it to shrink below what the file system usage is [19:47] swuboo: ext2fsd allows ext3 access :) [19:47] andreas__, did you read the Ubuntu student guide?

So I've tried that too, but it freezes when it's about to identify the disk format. Could it be that it's just not possible to install this kind of OS on some computers? [19:51] Phusion: is there a good howto to set it up? [19:51] andreas__: that means that ppl might not be able to answer NOW, however you should google, search forums and try another time to get better results [19:51] khermans: nm [19:51] bmk789: have you asked google that? [19:51] th0r: go ahead [19:52] khermans: ? [19:52] punkshui I don't want to endanger your mac install, so we are going to see if grub found it in the first place. to do that, we need to temporarily mount the ubuntu partition so we can read the menu.lst file.

[19:52] punkshui in the terminal type 'ls /' and see if media is in the list of folders [19:52] WorkingOnWise, i dont believe it will install if it is not in the repos -- but you can dpkg it [19:53] ArthurArchnix, try thoggen [19:53] th0r yup... [19:53] ArthurArchnix, but it doesnt shrink [19:53] khermans: Ah... ok. So nothing really.

[19:58] Djerkaf: Sorry for lag, work called me away. It is possible you have some unusual disk controller like MFM or possibly some SCSI controller for which the module is not being loaded at boot, so it then does not know how to communicate with the drive which is attached to it. [19:58] punkshui if you look at the bottom of that file you will see three entries...all for ubuntu. There is no detection of your mac install. I hesitate to reinstall grub as you will lose the mac access and I don't know how to get it back. If it was windows I would know what to do [19:58] th0r, yeah, maybe I'll just reboot [19:58] th0r no worries about that.. i have an EFI partition that allows me to choose between mac and linux which already works.. GRUB should only work for those three entries [19:58] Djerkaf: But I got the impression it was IDE since you had master/slave/CS jumpers... so perhaps oddball chipset but still IDE also [19:59] my evolution email is able to get email from my exchange server but not my contacts and calendar [19:59] it says its unable to find it [19:59] ideas? [19:59] punkshui installing grub will change the master boot record...which may or may not be a problem. I did find a note about adding osx here http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-249944.html [19:59] Djerkaf: It is too bad there seems to be no webpage to be found with the specs of this motherboard to know for certain [19:59] i wonder why the fuck I only go on ping timeout when i'm idle'ing :/ [19:59] If I'm looking for an Ubutuntu web server box to run Drupal for hundreds of users, do I need a Hot Plug or non-Hot Plug server? [20:00] punkshui now is the time to change your mind if you want to [20:00] ServerSide: Likely you have power management enabled for your network adapter [20:00] th0r i've already reinstalled grub twice today and it hasn't negatively affected my ability to boot os x [20:00] genii: how the hell disable it? :P [20:00] Jack_Sparrow, you still here? [20:00] if its a powerpc mac, grub is useless. [20:00] punkshui ok, here goes....type 'sudo grub' [20:01] genii are you still there? [20:01] thegooner: Yes [20:01] "/usr/bin/ld: ./.libs/liblauncher-type.a(launcher.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC" - what do I do? [20:01] th0r, ok [20:01] genii: i only use knetworkmanager [20:01] Cool. What should I do next? [20:01] punkshui then at the grub prompt type 'root (0,3)' [20:02] hi ... according to smartctl the hardware_ecc_recovered counter of my hd has risen from 8973 to 27850 within a few minutes ... should i worry? [20:02] punkshui then still at the grub prompt type 'setup (hd0)' [20:02] th0r error unrecognized device string [20:02] ServerSide: You would need to ask someone who knows more about the power management system than me on this issue. But I have a hunch the computer is powering down the adapter when idle. [20:02] th0r when i type root (0,3) [20:02] thegooner: Did you get to boot? [20:03] punkshui sorry...my bad...type 'root (hd0,3) [20:03] punkshui was too worried about the nubmers....got the command wrong! [20:03] thegooner: So you have now an idea of how much room you need to leave for the windows partition? [20:03] th0r, okay then setup (hd0) ? [20:04] The suggested partition was 68%? [20:04] punkshui right [20:04] aa [20:04] "/usr/bin/ld: ./.libs/liblauncher-type.a(launcher.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC" - what do I do? === Pravee1 is now known as Praveen [20:04] punkshui then 'exit'...then reboot and pray [20:04] thegooner: How much in Gb would that be roughly) [20:05] punkshui I'll wait here and hope you come back [20:05] lordi: moin. wie gehts?

[20:06] hello [20:06] punkshui looks like it might have worked...reboot...I'll wait here and hope [20:06] cheeby: i think opera is in medibuntu, so probebly yes. [20:06] th0r, alright here it goes [20:06] thegooner: So 69 to 70% should be enough to allow for some wiggle room. You also have made sure that you ran chkdsk (if w2k/xp/vista) or scandisk (if win95/98/me) and the fiesystem was marked clean?

In my opinion this is due to the nvidia drivers. Recently i installed to use the global nvidia drivers in windows too (this is made by a hack in the inf file) instead of the one what has a limited functionality, and the same error is appearing on windows like this [20:09] , so i think the error is caused by the nvidia drivers. [20:09] ol brobo [20:09] natbet add an & at the end of the line [20:09] khermans, I think its in my head. sorry for bother [20:09] i'm not sure if it marked clean [20:09] the thing is, i am new in teh ubunto world [20:10] i tried a live CD [20:10] and it seems ok [20:10] however [20:10] thanks, I knew it was something simple, just not sure which one it was [20:10] i look for info on wiki, google [20:10] and forums [20:10] and i find lots of usefull information [20:11] but i do not find the answer to a basic question, and with which i have lots of difficulties [20:11] what is the difference between gnome - KDE - LINUX - ubuntu [20:11] pietrubens: what is this annoying problem?? [20:11] who has experience configuring sendmail? [20:11] pietrubens: GNOME and KDE are desktop environments, Linux is the kernel we know and love, and Ubuntu is a Linux distribution that packages GNOME/KDE/Linux [20:12] anyone here know qemu? [20:12] linux is an OS, ubuntu is a distrobution of linux prepackaged with useful applications [20:12] linux is a kernel [20:12] thegooner: if you have w2k/xp/vista you go to a DOS box then type chkdsk c:\ /F or in 95/98/me scandisk c:\ then it does a check on the physical hd and if success the filesystem is marked clean. the linux partitioner needs the windows partition marked clean before it can resize it === LaTTiNo is now known as OncrAckz [20:12] GNOME and KDE are display managers [20:12] gnu/linux is an os [20:12] pietrubens: ubuntu is a version of linux, gnome and kde are different desktop environments,(inerfaces) [20:12] so, ubuntu is based upon linux? [20:12] sco50000: more like desktop environments [20:12] * jay Playing: Killswitch Engage - Holy Diver [20:12] pietrubens: yes [20:12] pietrubens: in the sense that it packages the kernel and related software yes [20:12] thegooner: c:\ assumes default drive, if installed to d: or E: etc then accordingly substitute [20:13] it isn't based upon linux, that implies a fork, it uses the linux kernel for hardware access [20:13] it is based on debian [20:13] hi can someone teach me how to install downloaded programs such as beryl on ubuntu? [20:13] brobostigon: isn't ubntu a type of linux? [20:13] but what if i decide to install gnome [20:13] i want to run my vista partition as a virtual machine [20:13] VvWolverinevV, read what bruenig just said [20:13] heh [20:13] too slow [20:13] squarebracket: don't [20:13] squarebracket: I find Qemu to be a bit confusing. VirtualBox is a lot easier to mess with. For me anyways. [20:13] does that mean that i automaticly exclude all the KDE based opensource programs? [20:13] VvWolverinevV: ubuntu, is a type of debian, which is a type of linux [20:13] pietrubens: no [20:13] brobostigon, no [20:13] and with ubuntu i can use both [20:14] the hardware differences will f*** things op squarebracket [20:14] !ohmy > Switch^ [20:14] PriceChild: what was wong with that?? [20:14] sorry PriceChild [20:14] but I censored myself [20:14] brobostigon: what you said was not accurate [20:14] brobostigon, ubuntu is based on debian. debian uses linux. [20:14] brobostigon: there is a difference between a Linux distribution and Linux itself [20:15] how do i burn this ISO in ubuntu? [20:15] i can't find an iso burner [20:15] ok, fine.linux is a kernel only, [20:15] #skonebo [20:15] sco50000, right click and "burn to cd" [20:15] sco50000, cdrecord filename.iso [20:15] #skonebo [20:15] and for some reason nautilus won't open [20:15] bruenig, my way's easier ;) [20:15] back [20:15] perhaps [20:15] lex0: APT is your friend, though are you using Gutsy? Beryl is kinda deprecated, I think? [20:15] hi everyone, is there a way for rsync to show the 'global progress' of a transfer, for instance, '-P' option gives me progress for individual files [20:16] for a newbe in this wonderful world, what would be the most recomended: install Linux itself or Ubuntu or maybe even only Gnome? [20:16] hey, i need to mount an ntfs file system into ubuntu, i couldnt find anything in help.ubuntu.com anyone know how? [20:16] !ntfs-3g | justin_ [20:16] justin_: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [20:16] genni, please could repeat the scan disk process for xp [20:16] pietrubens, installing linux itself is completely unusable [20:16] anyone with a PS3 here? is it doable to stream music and videos from Ubuntu to a PS3? [20:16] what about Opera on x86_64 arch? [20:16] ok [20:16] pietrubens, you at least need the gnu stuff to get some semblance of a workable machien [20:16] linux is only the kernel [20:16] i think i start seeing some light here [20:17] pietrubens: Ubuntu is an easy place to start. [20:17] can someone answer some questions for me in private chat? [20:17] !pm | lex0 [20:17] lex0: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit AND help you. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude. [20:17] lex0: in any case, you're not registered, so you cannot send/receive PMs [20:17] linux is actually the platform which i will use to create desktop program, while ubuntu is a steady one already [20:17] GAH [20:17] bassicley [20:17] thegooner: For XP: go to dos box (Command Prompt) then: chkdsk c:\ /F the /F makes it scan next reboot before the OS starts using it much. So you need to reboot after that and it will run before login next time [20:17] th0r, i'm back but... i got an error and am using the livecd again [20:17] I need help connecting to a shared folder on an XP Machine [20:17] What the hell do I do [20:18] punkshui did grub start up? [20:18] I am a linux n00b btw [20:18] th0r yeah no problem there [20:18] i3ear: assuming that you're using GNOME, should be a matter of Places -> Network [20:18] pietrubens: so you have the kernel which varies a bit disto to distro then the distro and user environment then you gui or desktop envirionment which can be gnome or even a simple window manager like fluxbox [20:18] punkshui did you see ubuntu start up?

[20:19] thanks genii. iwill re-boot now and see wot happens. [20:19] punkshui yeah...that's what I was afraid of...when you reinstalled the partitions you nuked the ubuntu install. the only way I can see to fix it is going to be to reinstall ubuntu [20:19] i have had more answers in 10 minutes here then a whole afternoon on the net [20:20] pietrubens: welcome [20:20] th0r well i'm not sure... i just reinstalled ubuntu (twice today) and load my share partition.. are you sure it's not trying to load the wrong partition? [20:21] th0r, sorry not shared partition... i restored my root partition from a saved partition image... using partimage [20:21] Hi, I want to use the brightness applet on my notebook but it does nothing. Any ideads? [20:21] hi could someone help me with installing downloaded programs in a private chat? [20:21] kwk: Are you using the nvidia driver? [20:21] th0r also i saved the boot folder from the fresh install. [20:21] Hi, Why isnt evolutions search not returning any matches. Is it a known bug [20:21] swuboo: yes [20:21] lex0: apt-get install progname [20:21] punkshui according to the fdisk paste linux has to be on /dev/sda4, which is hd0,3. What I think happened is when you restored th epartition image you restored the old partition data and that is the problem [20:21] thanks for the help, and sorry to bother you with these basic questions [20:21] kwk: Try running nvidia-settings. You can control screen brightness and such from in there. [20:22] punkshui but remember I know nothing of mac...so am working off half-knowledge here [20:22] brobostigon, for example how would i install beryl? [20:22] it can never find the directory [20:23] th0r i think this is a full ubuntu problem.. my boot menu still works fine ... offering me ubuntu and os x [20:23] lex0: Enable desktop effects. [20:23] lex0: I think beryl has been deprecated in favor of compiz-fusion [20:23] Hi guys [20:23] lex0: beryl no longer exists, its compiz-fusion, so it could be sudo apt-get install compiz-fusion [20:23] !apt | lex0 [20:23] lex0: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE) [20:23] hi... when i turn on my pc it says it will run on low graphic mode... what should i do ? everything worked fine with my graphic card until today... please help :( [20:23] kwk: Once you've got everything set up the way you like it in nvidia-settings, add the command, "nvidia-settings --load-config-only" to your startup commands under Preferences, Sessions. [20:23] th0r, so saving that boot menu from the fresh install didn't do any good. [20:23] Does Ubuntu have an equivalent to the windows "append these DNS sufixes" setting? I'm having a problem where "nslookup machine" fails but "nslookup machine.mylocal.net" works. [20:23] kwk: As soon as you log into Gnome, the settings will automatically load up and set your brightness/color settings. [20:23] I need some help with apt... I've just updated to gutsy, and now everything is broken. I'm trying to run apt-get autoremove, but then it starts to INSTALL xemacs21. What can I do ? [20:23] ASTX813, /etc/hosts ? [20:23] ASTX813: Are your DNS servers not sticking right? [20:24] swuboo: thx forgot about that tool [20:24] I think I just need to tell it that my local network is .mylocal.net [20:24] punkshui I agree...it is only the ubuntu that is the problem. The reason grub works now is that we reinstalled it. but it is still working off 'pre-partition-reinstall; information...I think [20:24] Quesion [20:24] swuboo: I forgot about it [20:24] thank you [20:24] MrMist: Post a log to pastebin of what the commandline looks like. [20:24] I have a Foxconn MB [20:24] hi... when i turn on my pc it says it will run on low graphic mode... what should i do ? everything worked fine with my graphic card until today... please help :( [20:24] kwk: About nvidia-settings? Yeah, I do that sometimes too. [20:24] Whell [20:24] th0r, isn't that information stored somewhere on the drive where it can be changed? [20:24] Ubutnu is runing like ass on my machine [20:24] MrObvious No, DNS servers are working properly, it's just failing to lookup machine names without the fqdn [20:24] Firefox just crashed [20:24] Hey all... quick question if anyone knows. I'm trying to find where I can remove information for an old wireless connection I had. the settings are wrong and I can't seem to overwrite the old settings when I redo them, so I just want to manually edit them or remove it... Any ideas? [20:24] MrObvious: the command line?? It looks like "sudo apt-get autoremove" [20:24] punkshui you are on the livecd now? [20:25] !medibuntu [20:25] ASTX813: Hmm It should work. IDK exactly sorry. [20:25] medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [20:25] kwk: Like I said, just get things the way you want them, and have GNOME run nvidia-settings --load-config-only when you login. Easy as pie. [20:25] Is there a list of incompatable hardware? [20:25] does noone know :/ [20:25] th0r yes.. livecd [20:25] That eitehr runs liek ass or plain doesnt' work with Ubutnu?

[20:36] th0r no worries.. okay now change the 1s to 3s? [20:36] right...they should all read '(hd0,3)' [20:36] MrObvious, i didn't explained myself good :p the graphic card doesn't work... i can make it work with the driver (only with that driver! in the past i didn't needed that driver.. if you get me) from their homepage... + i can set the resolution mode back to normall... but if i reboot the pc i start again with low graphic mode with no driver for my graphic card and a lower resolution.

(keeping my fingers crossed) [20:38] th0r just the threes to ones? now save and exit? no need for apologies i appreciate your time, its very nice of you [20:38] ph|ber, su and sudo are different programs [20:38] th0r alright.. see ya on the flip side [20:38] im doing sudo su - [20:38] punkshui ones to threes...not threes to ones! [20:38] MrMist: What does sudo apt-get remove eielo do? [20:38] bluefox83, how do i do that ?

[20:39] profanephobia: K3b [20:39] Professor_K, k3b [20:39] Could anybody give me a hint as to what tv-input card I could use in combination with MythTV? It has to be able to read from a coax cable input. [20:39] marko-_-, open it with an editor, likely something like "sudo vim /etc/modules" and add the name of the video driver to the file and save it :) [20:39] With ubuntu that is [20:39] Err Professor_K: K3b [20:40] Whoops [20:40] MrObvious, its ok happens alot :) [20:40] profanephobia: Lol. [20:40] Starnestommy & MrObvious: thx [20:40] Professor_K: YW [20:40] tobias, mythtv has an entire wiki page dedicated to listing all the different cards work with it... [20:40] bluefox83, luckily i made a backup of modules (don't know why... really) and i looked at the backup and there's nothing like that in it... ? === CapsLock_ is now known as AcidBurn [20:41] bluefox83: ? [20:41] fuse [20:41] marko-_-, yeah, that's why you need to add it [20:41] lp [20:41] mannytu: that did not answer my question [20:41] only this is in it. [20:41] what's a .qm file? [20:41] I need some information on Ubuntu and Paltalk please [20:41] bluefox83, i should just add 'nv' or 'nvidia' or what ? === AcidBurn is now known as CapsLock_br [20:41] MrObvious: the package name is k3b? [20:41] marko-_-, yeah, add nvidia [20:41] i did [20:41] and now ? [20:41] marko-_-, /etc/modules is a list of modules for the kernel to load on bootup, that's all [20:41] Professor_K: k3b Lowercase K. [20:42] MrObvious: hmm... it seems to have installed now... [20:42] ok thanks [20:42] MrObvious: ok thanks [20:42] MrMist: It was just a bad dependency. Glad it worked out. :) [20:42] bluefox83, should i restart my X now ? [20:42] marko-_-, next time you reboot, it shoudl know to load the nvidia driver automatically :) [20:42] ok [20:42] brb [20:42] bluefox83: marko-_- That's weird. [20:42] I need some information on Ubuntu and Paltalk please [20:42] MrObvious: But what was eieio ? [20:42] marko-_-, no, it wont have any baring on X, you'd need to restart the machine [20:42] and he's gone >.> [20:42] bluefox83: That is weird that the nvidia driver won't load automatically. [20:43] *NVidia [20:43] MrMist: Some dependency.

[20:43] bluefox83: So what exactly do you add to /etc/modules for future reference? [20:44] MrObvious, any time you have a driver that wont load on reboot, put it in /etc/modules and it'll fix you right up =) [20:44] is it ok to install a lot of kde programs on gnome? :S I already have amarok and krita, and now I'm getting k3b.. [20:44] MrObvious, the name of the module [20:44] Professor_K, yeah, i use amarok, k3b and kopete [20:44] Professor_K: once you have one program installed, you already have the necessary libraries [20:44] Does anyone know how to make Ubuntu work on a pc with bios age 1999 ? [20:45] back [20:45] Djerkaf: what sort of problems are you getting? things life acpi=force? [20:45] and it didn't worked :s [20:45] Djerkaf, same as any other pc bios [20:45] bluefox83, [20:45] bluefox83: I mean do you just add "nvidia" to /etc/modules? I've dealt with that before as I have some modules like ndiswrapper I need on boot. [20:45] bluefox83: check privat [20:45] i'm back with low resolution and no graphic driver:P [20:45] Is there an actual known issue with Windows->Ubuntu printing not working [20:45] marko-_-, that's because it was for a system reboot, NOT X [20:46] ]Because none of the tutorials worked, and editing the samba config didn't work [20:46] i rebootet the system [20:46] Professor_K: Yes it's okay. It's not installing KDE just a small package. [20:46] i installed kde4 and now update menager show that i have "partial upgrade". however, when i start it, it drop with an error that packages are not authenticated? any workaround? [20:46] Could anybody please recommend me a good video capturing device that works with mythtv and ubuntu? I'm thinking about buying one [20:46] MrObvious, yes nvidia [20:46] bluefox83: Noted. :) [20:46] rebooted* [20:46] marko-_-: Did it work? [20:46] no [20:46] i'm back with low resolution and no graphic driver:P [20:46] hi guys [20:46] Can someone help me solve this http://pastebin.com/m160b3416 ? [20:46] Also - is there a known issue with Sendmail generating horseshit messages on bootup for no apparent reason?

[20:46] howlingmadhowie: I have tried acpi=force, noacpi, among others, but haven't got it to work. The installation freezes when it's about to start the partitioning. Have also tried to install Xubuntu, and it freezes when it's about to identify the disk format [20:46] if i compile another kernel version in my machine the restricted drivers manager will continue working? [20:47] I'll remain family friendly if Ubuntu will... >:| [20:47] thedoor, they most likely would [20:47] yeah but I heard that some people don't like to install kde programs on gnome, is it because they don't want to install a lot of dependencies or because they're fanatics? [20:47] hdevalence: What are you trying to do exactly? [20:48] MrObvious: compile KDE [20:48] Professor_K: either could be true. A friend of mine just doesn't like having KDE windows run in his GNOME environment for visual reasons. [20:48] Why would my login prompt be in all uppercase letters ? [20:48] marko-_-, my guess is that you probably have multiple copies of the nvidia driver installed, go through and uninstall ALL of them, don't remove the /etc/modules listing, then when you can do "sudo modprobe nvidia" and get an error that there's no nvidia driver, you can reinstall ONE [20:48] Professor_K: running [20:49] Professor_K: all the dependencies are installed the first time you install a kde-package [20:49] My login / directory lists / everything at the console is in uppercase [20:49] both user input and system output. [20:49] hdevalence: Try installing apt-file and running sudo apt-file update then sudo apt-file search (filename) to find which package a certain file is in. However I'm not sure you need to compile KDE4 to get it to run. Surely you can just install some debs (which should be much cleaner). [20:50] Professor_K: personally, I find it hard to keep a uni-{KDE|GNOME} system only. And since you already have at least one KDE app, the deps are already there. [20:50] Could someone help me fix my sound? i have sound blaster USB... [20:50] MrObvious: I'm downloading the SVN [20:50] I'm sorry bluefox83 but i got disconnected... what should i type in the console again ? [20:50] i went to sound under preference but no go [20:50] lex0, you have a usb coundcard? ouch.... [20:50] cosmodad: well I think Rythmbox sucks so I can't help it :S [20:50] : [20:50] marko-_-, go through and uninstall all of the different versions of nvidia [20:50] marko-_-: lsmod | grep nv [20:51] Professor_K: my impression is that amaroK is just ultra-awesome. :) [20:51] Professor_K: amarok2 will be awesome when it's done [20:51] MrObvious, no! [20:51] yes...it worked nice with windows [20:51] nvidia 3932108 0 [20:51] agpgart 35016 1 nvidia [20:51] not nv [20:51] this is my outpot [20:51] output* [20:51] bluefox83: It tells you what you want. :p [20:51] marko-_-, uninstall your nvidia driver, in every spot you installed it [20:51] hm === max` is now known as max [20:51] ok [20:52] how do i uninstall the driver i downloaded from their homepage ? [20:52] hdevalence: how about the next version of rythmbox? :P or a good alternative for gnome to make kde lovers jalous :P [20:52] marko-_-, whether you installed it from a copy off the nvidia site, through the ubuntu installer thingy, or whatever, uninstall them all [20:52] http://somafm.com/ makes Rythmbox better... [20:52] hdevalence: Here's how to install it via debs it seems: [20:52] bluefox83, how do i do that? [20:52] Professor_K: by the time rb catches up to amarok 1.4 , amarok 2 will be out [20:52] mannytu: isn't that just internet radio? [20:52] hdevalence: http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-4.0.php [20:53] yes [20:53] marko-_-, uhm...i think it's like... ./installername --remove [20:53] MrObvious: I want the SVN version though.

(Openbox, either menu or by hand ...) [20:53] oh and bluefox83 my card is listed in the restricted drivers modules and it says that it's used. [20:53] mannytu: I doubt this will make rb much better. ;) === calista is now known as kalista [20:53] marko-_-, i don't know what version of the nvidia installer you are using, so just replace the name [20:53] hdevalence: Well hopefully apt-file will work out for you. I've used it in the past when compiling E17 and it's nice. [20:53] marko-_-, be sure to remove it there too [20:53] ok [20:53] MrObvious: thanks for the help. I'm guessing apt-file update takes a while the first time? === Rufus_ is now known as Rufus__ [20:54] hdevalence: Yup. [20:55] * bluefox83 wonders why MrObvious compiled e17 when there is a ubuntu download source repository for it... [20:55] i think you can also pull the music off your ipod... [20:55] bluefox83, and what if i don't have the file anymore ? (the driver from their page) [20:55] marko-_-, redownload it, and use that one [20:55] * MrObvious goes for some coffee [20:56] ok === eth_ServerSide is now known as ServerSide [20:56] marko-_-, you are basically looking at multiple copies of the same driver, all trying to load at once, and the system can only have one, so none are getting through [20:57] sd [20:57] boa noite [20:57] alguem conhece o linux mcde [20:57] When I boot up, at the tty1 login prompt, I get this, repeatedly, over the screen (before logging in) [20:57] reloading mail transport agent (MTA) sendmail [20:57] !po | allangrc [20:57] hu [20:58] :\ [20:58] anyone can tell me how to install perl? [20:58] Sorry, I don't know anything about po - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [20:58] I get this message printed on screen ever 2-3 minutes [20:58] i get sooo pissed [20:58] without logging in. If I log in, then the message gets printed over the top of whatever Im doing. [20:58] Denyerec: sudo dpkg-reconfigure sendmail and put in some options that may work for your setup [20:58] aBi90, perl is already installed on ubuntu systems when you first launch it [20:58] Mm, ok I will try [20:59] wow [20:59] where is it ? :S [20:59] i miss my peeerl [20:59] aBi90, /usr/bin/perl? [20:59] does any of you advanced linux (ubuntu) users remember these trouble shooting commands from the top of your heads? [20:59] and the paths [20:59] genii - should that load a configuration manager, or am I supposed to supply a bunch of commandline arguements ? [21:00] bluefox83, that isn't the command... and in the help option there is no 'remove' command listed [21:00] Denyerec: It has a bunch of text menus it somewhat guides you through [21:00] Flash video causes firefox to crash [21:00] I did not get that genii [21:00] itjust returned me to the prompt [21:00] marko-_-, try --uninstall then [21:00] In AWN, is there a way to get parabolic zoom (as in OSX, how all the icons zoom in and out relative to where the mouse is)? [21:00] I installed Adobe flash player [21:00] bluefox83, ok i must reboot now... [21:00] so brb [21:00] Then Javascript [21:00] Nobody has got experience with a tv card on ubuntu? [21:00] not yet! [21:00] what ? [21:00] through the "add/remove" windows [21:01] and now [21:01] i3ear, I think there's a problem with Adobe's installer [21:01] And it still didnt'w ork [21:01] marko-_-, do lsmod | grep nvidia [21:01] Denyerec: Hmm. Does the result of command: apt-cache policy sendmail show some stars (asterisks) next to a version of sendmail? [21:01] so I installed the other flash player [21:01] thing [21:01] nvidia 3932108 0 [21:01] agpgart 35016 1 nvidia [21:01] I fogot what its called [21:01] but [21:01] now flash causes firefox to crash [21:01] Candidate: 8.14.1-8ubuntu1 [21:01] Version table: [21:01] *** 8.14.1-8ubuntu1 0 [21:01] 500 http://gb.

[21:02] doesnt* [21:02] alguem usa o Linux MCE [21:02] marko-_-, ok i suppose you can restart, but you'll likely have just basic nv, and not the 3d driver [21:02] check https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 i3ear [21:02] ok [21:02] brb [21:02] then [21:02] !br [21:02] Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. === TMM_ is now known as TMM [21:02] Denyerec: OK so it says it is installed (***8.14.1-8ubuntu1 0) [21:02] aBi90, tried chmod +x filename? [21:03] Installed: 8.14.1-8ubuntu1 [21:03] Denyerec: hardy packages ? [21:03] * Denyerec looks blank [21:03] 7.10 server [21:03] no? what to do? [21:03] i need help. something has been making my computer lag every several seconds for the past couple days, and making my hard drive tick. how can i figure out what's causing it? [21:03] don't know which name that is :) [21:03] daffa: ah [21:03] Denyerec: That it keeps wanting to restart indicates a misconfiguration where it loads then fails etc etc. [21:03] Denyerec: 7.10=Gutsy [21:03] dpkg didn't tirgger a config interface [21:03] * Denyerec muses [21:03] aBi90, what error do you get when you try to run a perl script? [21:04] tanath: 1.) think about what you've done/changed 2.) look at what is lagging, PC in general, just the net, just music etc 3.) start narrowing it down with tools (we can do that once you've answered the first two questions) [21:04] ikonia, pc in general [21:04] tyczek@tyczek-laptop:~$ lastmp [21:04] lastmp: could not find config [21:04] i havent tried to run one yet.. just wanted to open it.. [21:04] it was configuring after install ;/ [21:04] tanath: is it just ubuntu or xp too [21:04] Whell alright [21:04] how do I get rid of my current javascript [21:04] and flash [21:04] shit [21:04] ikonia, seems to have happened after a reboot. might have been that i changed my firewall script [21:04] ikonia, i only have ubuntu [21:04] so i tried to install ubuntu 7.10 on my seccondary IDE HDD [21:05] tanath: what are you using for a firewall ? [21:05] and it got 97% then said "could not execute grub hda-o this is a fatal erroe" and closed [21:05] bluefox83, i rebooted, and now ? [21:05] ikonia, was using killerwall, but lost the script, so found another called 'ubuntu-firewall' [21:05] i3ear: good question wish i knew as well [21:05] i havent tried to run one yet.. just wanted to open it.. [21:05] bluefox83, i got no 'low graphic mode' so it's a step up:) [21:05] ikonia, both use iptables [21:05] marko-_-, you didn't load the nvidia driver manually did you? [21:05] kan ikke logge på mit trådløse netwærk med wba-psk og aes datakrybtering [21:05] aBi90, sudo apt-get install perl? [21:05] bluefox83, when ? [21:05] Do I have to reinstall ubutnu? [21:05] :| [21:05] !dk | Ubuntubruger5 [21:05] Ubuntubruger5: For at få support til Ubuntu på Dansk bedes du venligst gå til #ubuntu-dk. I denne kanal tales kun Engelsk. [21:05] marko-_-, this reboot time? [21:06] i3ear, go to about:plugins in firefox [21:06] dosnt work [21:06] i don't get you bluefox83 ... [21:06] tanath I have no idea about those scripts. The PC lagging is either going to be 1.) lack of graphics power (drive issues are common) 2.) lack of RAM (something eating it) 3.) cpu maxed out [21:06] marko-_-, do lsmod | grep nvidia [21:06] sais it is installed.. [21:06] says* [21:06] hy... is there any way to make the Flash plugin use both of my CPU-s? [21:06] nvidia 3932108 0 [21:06] agpgart 35016 1 nvidia [21:06] ikonia, the new script is simpler, so i thought it'd be faster, but it might be blocking something that killerwall wasn't [21:06] tanath: anything you can think of likley to effect any of those [21:06] Alright [21:06] tanath: ok, well first thing is to disable it [21:06] what am I looking for? [21:06] marko-_-, looks like you removed your conflicting driver, it should now work... [21:07] yes should i enable [21:07] yes [21:07] the driver in restricted modules ? [21:07] no [21:07] because [21:07] ikonia, wouldn't be gpu or cpu. would only be ram if there's a memory leak or some such [21:07] when i installed gutsy i just enabled the driver in there [21:07] and it worked fine... [21:07] because that's another copy of the driver [21:07] ikonia, it's been fine until recently [21:07] ftp sucks [21:07] tanath: the question is what changed on recently [21:07] so bluefox83 what then ? [21:07] just leave it as-is [21:07] tanath: before using detail tools, you could try enabling the gnome monitors for RAM/CPU on the gnome pannel [21:07] huh [21:08] enable your affects :) [21:08] genii = where are the shutdown messages stored ? [21:08] ok [21:08] ikonia, the only thing i suspect ATM is the firewall [21:08] tanath: doesn't tell you much but gives you a base idea where to drill down [21:08] EG, the text that scrolls up when you shutdown the machine [21:08] k [21:08] it says [21:08] that i must enable a driver [21:08] when i want to use compiz [21:08] ... [21:08] how do you redirect the output of bunzip2 to a different volume than the one containing the .bz2 file? [21:08] i'll enable it :P [21:08] fine, go ahead and enable it...i don't think it'll work though [21:08] <[NoFate]> hello [21:09] !enter > marko-_- (please do this there is a alot of people in here and it might get confusing to others) [21:09] i'll try if it won't work i'll just unable it [21:09] !hi [21:09] Hi!

Don't use commands in the public channels if you don't know if they really exist. Also avoid adding joke/useless factoids. [21:10] Denyerec: In /etc/mail there are some files which configure the mail servers, you may want to look into them especially sendmail.mc [21:10] ok [21:10] Should this stuff not autoconfigure? I never rememeber having trouble with it on the older version of Ubuntu... :/ [21:11] Denyerec: It requires m4 to make into an sendmail.cf file [21:11] How would I know what I was looking for? On my old ubuntu installation, "it just worked" [21:11] <[NoFate]> is there a way to turn off the mouse acceleration, without the mouse gets ridiculous slow? [21:11] I've never had to configure sendmail before in my life. [21:11] Denyerec: Sendmail is not the usual mta for debian, normally it is exim4 [21:11] crdlb: thanks! oh, how do you view the contents of the .bz2 file to know what the output filename should be? [21:11] when installing mencoder from command line I noticed a line that said "suggested packages" and mentioned w32codecs and libdvdcss. After install I tried to locate these packages in synaptic and couldn't fine them. Are they named something else? How do I get them? [21:11] How do I use VNC to connect to the desktop on my Ubuntu box, the connection gets refused. [21:12] is it a simple procedure to use the package manage to remove sendmial and install exim4 ? [21:12] !medibuntu | Scunizi [21:12] Scunizi: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [21:12] !mdibuntu | Scunizi [21:12] Sorry, I don't know anything about mdibuntu - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [21:12] trafalgar: contents? if it's a tar.bz2 file then just use 'tar' [21:12] ikonia, oh, one thing, i'm at 100% cpu, but i run folding@home in the bg [21:12] php and certain web utils seem to like to use sendmail [21:12] Scunizi: those packages are on medibuntu [21:12] erUSUL, brobostigon thanks. [21:12] tanath: thats why your lagging ! [21:12] ikonia, no, it isn't [21:12] hi, my windows drive used to be C: I used parted to remove some partitions and moved the windows partition to the beginning and now it boots but cannot logon. The task manager shows it now thinks it's V: instead. Can grub convince Windows to believe it's still C:? [21:12] medibuntu [21:12] trafalgar: tar xf myarchive.tar.bz2 -C somedir/to/extract/ [21:12] tanath: if your machine is at %100 cpu - your machine will queue cpu time [21:12] ikonia: tanath: I run FAH and I'm not lagging. [21:12] ikonia, it has never caused me to lag before [21:12] MrObvious: is your CPU @ %100 [21:13] !medibuntu > Scunizi [21:13] ikonia, it is a 'nice' process [21:13] ikonia: Yup. Also FAH runs at nice level 19 by default. [21:13] anyone know what GLXBadContext means? [21:13] I am having a problem with my audio in Gutsy. The speaker icon in Totem keeps greying out and I have to restart to get it back. When I play an audio file be it mp3 or ogg, when it is greyed out the sound does not work. I have looked in the sound control panel and nothing is muted. Any ideas? [21:13] <[NoFate]> is there a way to turn off the mouse acceleration, without the mouse gets ridiculous slow? [21:13] How do I allow VNC to connect to my Ubuntu box? [21:13] MrObvious: so your suggesting that your CPU is at %100 constantly and you get no slowdown on your desktops response ? [21:13] !vnc > Codenut [21:13] anyone know what GLXBadContext means? I have a pastebin of error http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52201/ [21:13] crdlb: I tried using > /media/disk/extract/* but it creates a file called * How do I find the original file name? [21:13] thanks [21:13] genii - when I shut down there are some sendmail related errors - where can I find the shutdown messages? /var/log/messages only has the current session [21:13] ikonia: Nope. Of course I have a Dell Vostro 1700 with a 1.6 GHz C2D and 8600m and 2GB of RAM. :) [21:13] Codenut: no problem [21:14] Codenut on the ubuntu box you have to install vncserver, then type in a terminal 'vncserver :1' [21:14] ikonia: But I run FAH on a 1.8 GHz P4 w\ 1GB of RAM and it's fine. [21:14] MrObvious: - thats fine, but tanath's cpu is at %100 [21:14] trafalgar: are the files simple bz2 files, or tar.bz2 files? [21:14] ikonia: What's wrong with that? [21:14] ikonia, and it will keep it there. it always has, but it doesn't hog the cpu [21:14] tanath: What kind of system is it? What are the specs? [21:15] crdlb: I do not know, is there a way to find out? [21:15] MrObvious, 3Ghz CPU, 1Gb RAM [21:15] good day all [21:15] anyone know how to get a decent high resolution firefox icon - right now the only icon that looks terrible on my dock is firefox - so any ideas [21:15] <[NoFate]> is there a way to turn off the mouse acceleration, without the mouse gets ridiculous slow? [21:15] tanath: sorry, your last comment scrolled off the screen [21:15] alut [21:15] anyone have issues when writing to a file using cifs to a windows machine? [21:15] trafalgar: look at the filename [21:15] bluefox83, you we're right..:/ [21:15] hey can someone please help me with vista and grub [21:15] I can read and write new files [21:15] SoulChild: Whats the issue? [21:16] ikonia, last one to you? or the specs? [21:16] but cannot write to existing files, even those I create [21:16] re [21:16] tanath: You should be fine. Use the command free to see how much swapping you are having. What kind of CPU is it? AMD X2? P4? P-D? C2D? C2Q? [21:16] i have ubuntu, XP, and Vista (where Vista is on a extended partition), i can't load vista with grub ,... [21:16] 'ikonia, and it will keep it there. it always has, but it doesn't hog the cpu' [21:16] bluefox83, but i need a driver... i mean i can't work like that :D [21:16] tanath: one moment [21:16] crdlb: it's file.bz2 [21:16] MrObvious, P4 [21:16] anyone here installed ubuntu on a USB memory? which guide is best to use? [21:16] elliotjhug: are you using the one from /usr/share/pixmaps/firefox.png ? [21:16] some recommend fat16, some ext2 [21:17] tanath: I fold on a 1.8 GHz Northwood P4 and it's not slow at all. [21:17] MrObvious, Swap: 1510068 34760 1475308 [21:17] crdlb: I gather that means it's a bunzip2 file [21:17] MrObvious, (total | used | free) [21:17] trafalgar: that means it's a bzip2 compressed file, bunzip2 is the app that uncompresses it [21:17] how to load Vista in GRUB? It's on a extended partition ( what seems to be the problem) PLEAE HELP [21:17] crdlb: but I don't see anything in bunzip2 --help nor man bunzip2 that tells you how to know what the original filename was [21:17] Mem: 2062236 1186084 876152 [21:17] tanath: I fold on a 1.8ghz amd single core and it pegs the processor but does not slow the machine down at all. [21:17] Swap: 6072528 0 6072528 [21:18] trafalgar: just take off the .bz2 ? [21:18] Will the gutsy live cd installer ask me where to put the bootloader before writing it? I'm trying to install to an external (USB) drive without touching the internal drive [21:18] tanath: That's me :) [21:18] ls [21:18] Megaqwerty: I'm using the one it picked automatically - let me check [21:18] SoulChild, you may want to check in ##windows. [21:18] MrObvious, yeah, i've been running it for some time and it's never lagged me. i really don't think it has anything to do with it [21:18] Hi i have one questiong before installing ubuntu [21:18] SoulChild: What exactly? [21:18] SoulChild: okay, just give me a second to look at my grub file :-P [21:18] Megaqwerty: Thanks! Thats much better [21:18] th0r: i'm back. [21:18] I am having a problem with my audio in Gutsy. The speaker icon in Totem keeps greying out and I have to restart to get it back. When I play an audio file be it mp3 or ogg, when it is greyed out the sound does not work. I have looked in the sound control panel and nothing is muted. Any ideas? [21:18] elliotjhug: you're welcome :) [21:18] Megaqwerty: great [21:18] tanath: Swapping will slow you down though. [21:19] punkshui did it work? [21:19] th0r: it didn't work so well and lost my home partition but then i edited my fstab, to auto mount my /dev/sda5 partition as /home and we're now back in business [21:19] SoulChild: do you have multiple hard drives? [21:19] [21:19] Megaqwerty: no just one sata [21:19] ikonia, MrObvious, system monitor doesn't show anything going crazy. says most apps are 'sleeping' [21:19] punkshui so osx is there too? everything is working? [21:19] crdlb: this isn't like zip files where the filename gets stored with the file? [21:19] SoulChild: okay, do you know what partition Vista is on? [21:19] th0r thanks very much for your patience [21:20] th0r: yes OS X is there, and everything is working just fine [21:20] Megaqwerty: it s on /dev/sda5 [21:20] punkshui no problem..now when someone asks what I did today... [21:20] tanath: not sure how an app can be sleeping yet using %100 cpu [21:20] MrObvious, sounds like it might be swapping lots, 'cause the HDD keeps ticking every couple seconds, but according to 'free' it has swap space.. [21:20] SoulChild: okay, I'll pastebin what I think will make it work. [21:20] SoulChild: hold on [21:20] ikonia, none of them are using 100%. most are sleeping [21:20] th0r hahaha. alright i'm out. thanks again [21:20] Megaqwerty: your great dude [21:20] trafalgar: what 'filename'? bzip2 is a simple format that just compresses a block of data, there are no contained files, for that you need an archive format like tar [21:20] SoulChild: Try http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=669430&highlight=vista+grub and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=668712&highlight=vista+grub and see if there are any relevant details here which might help.

How do I fix that? [21:23] Can some 1 help me get my sound working Its a new install and i have no sound whatso ever [21:23] fr1ul^h4ck: You're making no sense. [21:23] lol [21:23] They said it has somethign to do with the kernel rtc setting. [21:23] ok [21:24] ./welcome/hi.html [21:24] i want to copy that file [21:24] lp me [21:24] MrObvious: I am having a problem with my audio in Gutsy. The speaker icon in Totem keeps greying out and I have to restart to get it back. When I play an audio file be it mp3 or ogg, when it is greyed out the sound does not work. I have looked in the sound control panel and nothing is muted. Any ideas? [21:24] in all the dir and subdir in all folder in my pc [21:24] how? [21:24] Anyone know whether gutsy live cd installer prompts for overwriting the MBR before it does it? [21:24] fiXXXerMet that's an asterisk issue...doubt many here even know how to start with asterisk [21:24] ./welcome/hi.html [21:24] fr1ul^h4ck: Try typing on one line without using enter so mcuh. [21:24] timrit: Nope. [21:24] ok [21:24] anyway [21:25] can i u help me?? [21:25] i need to copy a file in all the dir and subdir in my pc, which is the command? [21:25] Megaqwerty: unfortuantly it didn't work [21:25] fr1ul^h4ck: You want that file like a default in case no index file exists in apache or something? [21:25] MrObvious: Well can u help i have no sound At all i have all gstreamer plugins installed [21:25] MrObvious, one moment, i'm checking something and lagging bad now [21:25] yes [21:25] SoulChild: hmmm...you said /dev/sda5 right? [21:25] th0r: The #asterisk guys told me that the timing issue is related to a kernel configuration option? [21:25] Megaqwerty: I get a "Invalid device request" as i told you, Vista is installed on a extended partition [21:25] i want to copy that file in all the dir === _Petrov_ is now known as Petrov [21:26] fr1ul^h4ck: cp is the command to copy files. You could make a .htaccess edit or something IDK but I really don't have much of a clue. [21:26] fiXXXerMet if that's the case you might try #kernel...in any case I think it will be hard to find an answer here...(just my opinion) [21:26] SoulChild: hmm...I have never tried to run windows from an extended partition before, but I assumed the same procedure applied. (Windows is usually installed before Ubuntu) [21:26] i know that for copuy is cp [21:27] but for do that stufff? [21:27] Darkmystere_: What sound chip? Sound isn't my specialty so I'll point you in the right direction. [21:27] ANYONE: I am having a problem with my audio in Gutsy. The speaker icon in Totem keeps greying out and I have to restart to get it back. When I play an audio file be it mp3 or ogg, when it is greyed out the sound does not work. I have looked in the sound control panel and nothing is muted. Any ideas? [21:27] SoulChild: I'll take a look around, see what I can dig up.

[21:27] fucking graphic card [21:27] sorry for the language-.- [21:28] does anyone know why the live cd hangs during bootup in my computer but not in my dad's comp? [21:28] sco50000: at what point during boot does it hang? [21:28] Can someoneelse also have a look at my partition table and tell me how to boot Vista from grub: http://pastebin.org/15708 [21:28] fr1ul^h4ck: there is no command to copy massively in all directories, you may have to make a script [21:28] Darkmystere_: What sound chip? lspci should give you an idea. [21:29] ohhh [21:29] MrObvious, http://pastebin.ca/857713 [21:29] SoulChild give me a sec [21:29] minor hassle, no showstopper but it annoys me: the upadte-manager icon in the systray is blurred and scales wrong - why is that and can it be fixed? I like my otherwise slick desktop... :-) [21:29] hey can anyone tell me the souce name for sourceforge's repository? [21:29] marx2k, Starting Hardware Abstraction layer Hald [OK] [21:29] i forgot to say that vista is on that second ntfs partition [21:29] fr1ul^h4ck, what do u need to copy?

[21:30] th0r: great [21:30] marx2k, no, i am using the live cd [21:30] SoulChild you just need to add it to the boot menu, right? [21:30] MrObvious: Second doing the command here: Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SB450 HDA Audio (rev 01) [21:30] th0r: i already tried but alway get an "invalid device request" error [21:31] fr1ul^h4ck, yes... u need a bash script ) [21:31] mm [21:31] how? [21:31] th0r: seems to be cause by the extended device it is installed on [21:31] hey can anyone tell me the souce name for sourceforge's repository to add to the software sources? [21:31] sco50000: can you go to TTY-1 terminal? [21:32] sco50000, have you tried any boot parameters for the live cd ? [21:32] ubnoob, why sf sources? [21:32] ubnoob, just curious [21:32] SoulChild my best guess http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52203/ [21:32] Duke_Fluke, i haven't tried any, because i don't know nay [21:32] any* [21:32] sco50000: I am seeing suggestions to try the noauto parameter during boot [21:32] look through: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=boot+hangs+at+Starting+Hardware+Abstraction+layer+Hald&btnG=Google+Search&aq=f [21:32] specifically the first link [21:32] SoulChild that should be in your /boot/grub/menu.lst....if you pastebin that file I will take a look [21:32] marx2k, ok, i'll try that [21:32] Darkmystere__: Try http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=616845&highlight=sound+problem [21:32] oh i keep finding my self needing stuff from there for my g15 keyboard and thought it would be easier to just add it in and not goto the website every 2 seconds [21:32] Are their any dangerous viruses \ trojans out there for Linux say if you sudo dpkg -i an unknown deb file would it cause chaos? [21:32] fr1ul^h4ck, search for "advanced bash scripting quide" its an very good doc [21:33] MrObvious Thanks ill try it [21:33] tanath: You're running ClamAV which might have something to do with it. [21:33] th0r: what you worte loads my windows XP, but Vista is installed on sda5,... :D [21:33] Dagaka, Very few but they're there [21:33] Darkmystere__: YW. If it doesn't work search on those forums for your sound chip. [21:33] SoulChild oh...now you tell me...just a sec [21:33] ello [21:33] MrObvious, no, that's lagging too. i ran it after to see if maybe i was infected and that was the cause [21:33] dagake: nothing to speak off, so much that there is no need or point in having a virus scanner [21:33] Dagaka, you should always consider if your source seems trustworthy [21:33] how can i check (via ssh) what version of ubuntu my server is running? [21:33] SoulChild then make that one line (hd0,4) [21:34] th0r: i told you before,.. i think you overread it [21:34] marko-_-: Try posting on ubuntuforums.org and see if someone helps you there.

I mean, you can check which kernel your're running (uname -a) [21:34] SoulChild: I have no idea if it's going to work though... [21:34] MrObvious, don't think so... but it's still running, so the jury's still out :P [21:34] lusepuster, oh i keep finding my self needing stuff from there for my g15 keyboard and thought it would be easier to just add it in and not goto the website every 2 seconds [21:34] uriahheep: What is the output of uname -r? I know there is another way but I forget. Kernel versions are a good clue. [21:34] but I take it ClamAV, AVG F-Prot etc for Linux would detect these? [21:34] tanath: Hmm. [21:35] i think i'll kill myself i just don't get MrObvious EVERYTHING just everything worked fine, smooth with no problem just perfect i was in love with gutsy... but now this i just don't understand what can be wrong :/ [21:35] Megaqwerty: tell me [21:35] SoulChild: so before I even try it, I'd like to see your /boot/grub/menu.lst [21:35] ok,... moment [21:35] SoulChild: thanks [21:35] marko-_-: Well try the forums.

You could try turning regular sized WUs instead of big if you are. [21:36] SoulChild hmmm...it might be that chainloader line...would need to research that [21:36] MrObvious, ikonia i can't close the prefs, and it doesn't seem to be updating anymore [21:36] hey can anyone tell me the souce name for sourceforge's repository to add to the software sources?

[21:38] I dont get why MS didnt just use Grub with VISTA [21:38] what Flare183 said :) [21:38] i just want to say this: if linux had no swap, the machine ubuntu is installed on will never work without a swap [21:38] tyone, can you type "startx" [21:38] XLV: hmm i would prefere grub to do everything [21:38] tanath: Well play around with it and see. I don't run any firewall or AV on Linux except for my router and I'm secure and fine. [21:38] it's an old pc [21:38] MrObvious, but then the question is what rule is causing the prob? === jasdf is now known as sent [21:38] marx2k, because they can't distribute it non-freely [21:38] from bash ? [21:38] Hmm.. Its possible to use Linux with no swap partiton, or file. Just proberly not a good idea. [21:38] !bash [21:38] SoulChild, i wanted so too, but couldnt get it to load vista [21:38] staright into desktop ? [21:38] hmm thats odd, have you looked at the forums, and what kind of card is it tyone [21:38] MrObvious, my router keeps dying and needs to be rebooted after a while, so i tend not to use it [21:38] lol yea [21:38] Hello guys :D [21:38] !commands [21:38] tyone: startx --> starts the X session. from a console.

[21:39] tends to use the swap a lot [21:39] SoulChild: my only concern in doing this is that there is a possiblity Ubuntu won't boot and you'll have to change it back with a live cd.

[21:50] Thugacation, it's a lot more than just that [21:50] greentea: from CVS, yeah. But you have to compile it yourself. [21:50] eyepulp, i just did some googling and it looks like alot of people are having problems, i have to go for a bit but i will look into it for you [21:50] but you could use windows for that [21:50] greentea: you don't get prebuilt packages, or support when you do it that way though. [21:50] tarelerulz: normally during the install of gentoo one 'activated' the swap by the proper use of the 'swapon' command.. you dont activate it from the disk parttoner. [21:50] mlucas58051: thanks [21:50] no prob [21:50] Dr_Willis: Ok... here's the weird thing [21:50] Thugacation, but windows costs money and is more virus prone [21:50] For RAID1, you simply mirror the data on to hard disks correct? If so how do you resolve problems where the two drives disagree? [21:50] greentea: i don't know, i believe Cedega have comercial and source version [21:51] Darkmystere__: IDK sorry. Try the forums or see if someone else here is a sound expert. I'm not :(l. [21:51] Thugacation: please troll else ware. You are wrong. and thats all there is to it. [21:51] Dr_Willis: It plays on my laptop screen - but not on my external monitor (they are supposed to show the same thing) [21:51] yeah true guess that's why i download it off bittorrent [21:51] but i never get a virus [21:51] ammm, any applet or icon to show processor temperature on the toolbar? [21:51] tanath: You better back up your data. Your HD may be going out :( [21:51] uriahheep, wine is usually good, just make sure you configure it right. there's also crossover office [21:51] fairyEneried there is one for gkrellm [21:51] anyone care to recommend a ubuntu-compatible budget printer/scanner/copier? [21:52] MrObvious, can't really do that... too much data [21:52] why are you buying all new hardware just to be compatible with linux [21:52] Zloog: RAID is more than you make it out to be. The wikipedia article is very useful [21:52] just use windows bro [21:52] i may as well read the bible on instructions on how to install the nvidia driver, then hope and pray, anything works at all [21:52] Can anyone help me get my splash screen working its not... [21:52] bmk789: are you thinking of a combination there? [21:52] Thugacation: i dont think anyone cares about your wrong oponions. [21:52] MrObvious, it's a nearly full 250Gb drive [21:52] i'm not sure if any scanner/printer/copiers even work with linux [21:52] th0r: [21:52] sp: yes [21:52] gkrellm? [21:52] what's an oponions? [21:52] bmk789: eww, ok [21:53] soundray: Thats what I'm going from. The problem is that I dont see how RAID1 is going to be able to resolve conflicts.. [21:53] Thugacation: and as for what hardware works.. thers plenty of info sites on that. [21:53] Thugacation: this is offtopic -- please go to #ubuntu-offtopic [21:53] Thugacation: ive used an G [21:53] how mnay of you suggest using the "restricted driver system" to install the nvidia driver ? [21:53] !hardware | Thugacation [21:53] Thugacation: 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 [21:53] ok i just got wind of this article http://www.linux.com/articles/53698 please tell me this is not a joke [21:53] tanath: Yikes! I'd shut down now and buy another 250GB HD and use dd to copy/paste from the LiveCD in case it is dying. [21:53] Thugacation: mine does. [21:53] bmk789: I'd suggest checking if HP does have one and then check the hplib homepage (google it) if it's supported [21:53] tanath: In case it isn't you'll be glad you have the backups. [21:53] misslecommand: I would [21:53] fairyEneried I use it with all the window managers. It is a stack of monitors for keeping tabs on your system...cpu usage, memory, i/o...and cpu temp [21:53] Thugacation: ive used an HP AIO and a canon scanner that didnt require any special setup [21:53] is there a really virus for linux out there now thats cross platform? [21:53] misslecommand: unless you don't have internet. [21:53] is "root" disabled in ubuntu ? [21:53] Zloog: it isn't designed to resolve conflicts. For that, you need striping with parity. [21:53] and My Printer/scanner works better under linux then windows. I dident need to download a 124mb driver package from HP to get it working. [21:53] misslecommand: then use packages.ubuntu.com [21:53] fairyEneried install it and try it out...I mean...it IS free [21:53] javaguru: yes [21:53] misslecommand: and install nvidia-glx or nvidia-glx-new [21:53] sp: ok thanks [21:54] cute_bettong: No, viruses have only been made in the lab and patched I believe. [21:54] misslecommand: depending on how old your card is [21:54] Dr_Willis , should I get the Gentoo livecd and then activate the swap with it. [21:54] soundray : can i enable it ? [21:54] !root > javaguru please read ubotu's private message [21:54] soundray: thanks [21:54] that only creates a new issue, the problem of the NIC, then i need to use ndiswrapper to install a windows driver for it, it makes no sense to rely on windows, for the linux os [21:54] MrObvious, gah... :( i think it's been dying for some time though. i've been told before... :P but i don't know if that's causing the lag [21:54] javaguru: you can in principle, but it's not necessary and not advisable [21:54] bmk789: that was just my personal opinion btw :) [21:54] tanath: It would make sense. [21:54] MrObvious: not according to this article i am now reading [21:54] !smart [21:54] smart is another meta-package manager available for Ubuntu. It's quite stable, uses APT's repositories, can handle mirrors/multiple-connections, and is supposed to make Ubuntu BiArch-compatible. See http://labix.org/smart and https://wiki.kubuntu.org/SmartPackageManager [21:54] MrObvious, it's a secondary drive [21:54] thanks th0r [21:54] :) [21:54] it says a computer(s) where struck by it [21:54] tarelerulz: activating the swap is done during the commands you use while installing gentoo. Its NOT done and frogotten about. each time the system boots there are scripts/commands that activate swap. You Might want tor ead the gentoo install docs a few more times. [21:54] MrObvious, and it hasn't done it before [21:55] i would like to add a shortcut for closing a window in .xbindkeys... what's the command for this? i have set a shortcut for this in 'keyboard shortcuts', but i would like an additional one in xbindkeys [21:55] Question: I'm trying to boot Ubuntu 7.10 from the boot: prompt but can't find any documentation on what to actually call. I've tried 'linux' 'casper' 'boot=casper' but none work. Ideas? [21:55] tarelerulz: You may want to head to #gentoo also :) [21:55] tanath: Well remove it for now then just in case. Hard drive failures are too common these days. [21:55] cant i just have linux run under windows [21:55] so i can get a more powerful OS [21:55] Thugacation: yes you can. vmware, virtualbox, wubi. [21:55] Thugacation, what? it'd be better to have windows run under linux [21:55] Thugacation: You're drunk. lol [21:55] and I agree with tanath . [21:55] yeah but windows is probly a bit more stable [21:55] soundray: thanks for the link .. i kindof need to enable it for long tedious admin tasks that involve a lot of typing sudo [21:55] Dr_Willis: want to help me get my splash working :D? [21:55] Darkmystere__: i always Disable splash./ [21:56] according to this article the virus is cross platform and is dependant on the kernal you use. [21:56] hi everybody [21:56] javaguru: try sudo -i -- it gives you a root shell [21:56] why there is a diffrent betwen (font,colors) in xmms,amsn :: and :: emesene ,vlc, gimp and other programms [21:56] Thugacation, did you just suggest that windows is more powerful and stable than linux??? [21:56] ZummiG777 what boot prompt? Are you trying the liveCD? [21:56] is this a real threat or a false one [21:56] Thugacation, quite the opposite [21:56] I have a problem [21:56] Thugacation: you can use cygwin or win32 versions of popular unix commands or run linux in a virtual machine like virtualpc or vmware [21:56] I just updated to ubuntu gibbon, and my display drivers doesn't work properly. I can only runn 640x480 and 800x600 now. Anyone know how to approach this? I'm on a dell laptop [21:56] in my fresh install of kubuntu, it hangs during boot at "starting abstraction layer hald [ok]" any ideas? [21:56] th0r: LiveCD, then at the selection screen pressing escape. === x360 is now known as Negative [21:56] well it's compatible with more things so in a sense yes. [21:56] Thugacation: Nope. Actually I find Linux to run better. If you're having problems with Linux not running right it's usually something you're not doing. The OS will last for months without rebooting (barring kernel updates for security). [21:56] soundray: right .. thx [21:56] thanks for recommending those things === Negative is now known as Negatif [21:56] ZummiG777 no, at the selection screen just press return [21:56] Thugacation, not really [21:56] Thugacation: If you wanna game just dual boot or something. [21:57] Thugacation, *nix supports far more hardware than windows [21:57] can somebody help me on ubuntu desktop issue [21:57] Dr_Willis is there a way to Allow Certain programs to think x-server script isnt working so i can play games while Using Desktop Affects.. [21:57] !ask | Negatif [21:57] Negatif: 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. :-) [21:57] Thugacation, though windows supports more desktop & laptop hardware for now [21:57] Darkmystere__: Huh? what are you really trying to do? that made.. little sence. :) [21:57] My destop can't order the icons of the programs or folders [21:57] th0r: I'm actually attempting to get to the boot: prompt so I can call ks= for kickstart but I need the other working boot params so that it won't barf [21:57] sco50000: what happens when you hit Enter at that point? [21:57] Thugacation, and *nix is far more stable [21:58] Darkmystere__: if the apps need X they need X running.. :) [21:58] how can I fix it? [21:58] ZummiG777 then don't press escape,,,just type in the ks= and any other parameters you want to add [21:58] !wine | kot [21:58] kot: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. [21:58] damn there's a lot of activity in this channel .. it seems like more and more ppl are adopting linux thanks to ubuntu [21:58] i finally upgraded to the latest release, and actually just installed kde4... was wondering how to get compiz/beryl working? i thought it was installed by default now... [21:58] yea [21:58] javaguru: this is a slow day in here. [21:58] Negatif: What exactly do you mean? [21:58] th0r: Unfortunately it doesn't actually call the ks flag at all. [21:58] Dr_Willis: shit .. === leonel_ is now known as leonel [21:58] Dr_Willis: re lly? [21:59] i like to program in VB.net would linux be good for me? [21:59] Dr_Willis: this game called Regnum Online and it only works if the script that allows compiz to work is off but Also i need it to get Desktop affects on.. [21:59] really* [21:59] javaguru: This is the usual fare here. And watch the language please. [21:59] javaguru: come in when theres a new release.. i recall seeing 3000+ in here befor. [21:59] Thugacation: no [21:59] I am sorry for my english.. but I can explain like this: in my desktop [21:59] I cant order my icons in a particular way [21:59] Dr_Willis: Wow. [21:59] Thugacation: depends on what you are planning to do and why you think about using GNU/Linux [21:59] Anyone? I'm stuck on 800x600 VESA. And I've got a quadro card on this machine... [21:59] Negatif, what is your normal language? [21:59] ompaul: Good idea lol. [21:59] they dont find the best place on the desktop [21:59] Negatif, right click on the desktop and make sure to uncheck auto arrange [21:59] turkish [21:59] I just wanna install Linux to see what the fuss is about [21:59] I'm not running a server or anything [22:00] Dr_Willis: Well i usually use awn but this is new install And... I use it to keep all my windows But it doesnt work without the x script session thing on [22:00] soundray, enter does nothing [22:00] ok [22:00] Thugacation: there are live cd's you can use and not install anything at all. [22:00] Thugacation: run the live cd [22:00] Guys, I need help with wine. T_T [22:00] !tr | Negatif [22:00] Negatif: Turk ubuntu kullanicilari, turkce yardim yada geyik icin #ubuntu-tr hizmetinizde. [22:00] Thugacation: and theres dozens of them to play with. [22:00] soundray, it completely freezes up and i can't even switch terminals [22:00] Thugacation: So do it and quit causing havok in here. :p [22:00] sco50000: try booting in recovery mode. It's the second option on the grub boot menu [22:00] there is no arrange menu on my right click [22:00] with Linux - a little reading/research goes a LONG way. [22:00] kost: i do have Wine but it's kinda useless [22:00] Hi ! I request someone to clarify. On startup I see a floating white box with green border with the words ¨Hz ?¨ in the centre for about 15 seconds. Is it normal? [22:01] Thugacation: well, you can install both Windows and GNU/Linux on a PC [22:01] Negatif: it's called "Clean up by name" [22:01] Thugacation, then ubuntu is a good choice. if you don't know what you're doing it could be a good idea to get a friend to install it for you and show you the ropes. if not, i'm sure you'll be fine with a little help from google and this irc channel [22:01] :O wine is not useless! [22:01] Negatif: Are you using Nautilus? [22:01] yes [22:01] somewhat [22:01] I want to subscribe to all subpages of a wiki-page. is "page/.*" the correct regex? [22:01] Thugacation: Use Partion Magic to Make a 15-20GB Partion and then make a new partion and select Linux Swap From the dropdown list and make it 1GB [22:01] ksbalaji: sounds like a usplash bug. Does it boot normally after that 15 seconds? [22:01] it is unchecked [22:01] I want there: http://winehq.org/site/download-deb.. And did everything it said.. Now how to paly games?? xD [22:01] Thugacation: If you have questions this channel is very good. A good site to search and ask questions about Ubuntu too is ubuntuforums.org [22:01] soundray, i have booted in recovery mode, i get a root prompt [22:01] how can i remove something from a panel if the app it's for is not responding (so i can't get the context menu) [22:02] eyepulp: i cant seem to find anything, maybe try the forums [22:02] actually i dont need partitions [22:02] soundray, what should i do their? [22:02] because i have 2 hard drives [22:02] Thugacation: well, you still do need partitions, having a technical view at it [22:02] Thugacation: Partion magic is the Safe(est) Way to partiton And its pretty quick remeber to defrag with a good defragger like jkdefrag beforehand then download live cd Burn boot from it and install ubuntu to the 15-20GB partion set mount point on it to / [22:02] Darkmystere__: please don't recommend Partition Magic here. It is closed source, less reliable than ubiquity and this channel is not a good place to get help for it. [22:02] hi, I have a question you must have heard a million times but I can't find an easy tutorial on it. I want to install ubuntu on an USB disk without changing the MBR of my main disk, is that possible? [22:02] Thugacation: anyways, if you do have a complete second hard drive it's of course possible to, for example, install GNU/Linux on the second drive [22:03] MrObvious, you know what sucks? i already bought a bigger hard drive.. only i can't use it cause it turns out my comp doesn't have a sata port, and it's a sata drive :( [22:03] Having a 2nd hard drive just for linux - makes it so much easier. [22:03] soundray, i have booted in recovery mode, i get a root prompt [22:03] yes [22:03] Thugacation: at boot time you are then going to be prompted for what system to boot [22:03] sco50000: 'less /var/log/syslog' and see if you can find the reason for the freeze at boot up [22:03] 200gb for windows and 80gb for linux [22:03] how do I restore a .bz2 file, a backup of a Windows Xen VM created as a raw block device, to a different server and bring up Windows under Xen there? [22:03] Thugacation: as I said, that's of course possible [22:03] hopefully my monitor works with ubuntu... ive heard alot of times you cant use a monitor with linux [22:03] soundray, ok [22:03] Thugacation: And then make the 1208mb Partion swap and then install its pretty strait forward remeber try the graphic install before resorting to the text installer [22:04] Thugacation, try the live cd and then come back to us [22:04] xivulon is helping me install it [22:04] ok [22:04] darkkith, gparted is comparable [22:04] would someone know what this means: [22:04] Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server [22:04] Xlib: No protocol specified [22:04] Thugacation: exactly, as ompaul pointed out, there's a live cd (actually it's the install CD) [22:04] Hello all [22:04] I got it when running a sh script for installing netbeans. [22:04] does anybody know where amarok keeps its default icon? [22:04] Thugacation: just download the iso, burn it to a disk, leave it in your drive and reboot [22:04] foo-nix: use gksudo or similer. not just 'sudo' [22:04] Onyx, in gnome, or kde? [22:04] Onyx: I would assume in /usr/share/pixmaps [22:04] !sudo [22:04] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information. [22:04] Thugacation: you can then try Ubuntu from that disk without having to install anything [22:04] oh, nvm [22:04] ok [22:04] lol [22:04] I have my laptop set up in a docking station, but I have a minor problem ---- the external monitor does not show any videos (ie in vlc, totem, etc) [22:05] sco50000: it's possible that it froze before it was possible to write anything to the syslog, though [22:05] how can i remove something from a panel if the app it's for is not responding (so i can't get the context menu) [22:05] They show up on the LCD screen -- but not on the external screen ---- any ideas [22:05] Dr_Willis: ok, but I did sudo su, for convieniance, and I dislike "password caching" (not going to discuss that :) ) [22:05] Thugacation: however, don't expect that to be fast, running any operating system from a CD usually causes a significant slowdown compared to from-disk performance [22:05] tanath: kill the app? [22:06] well im not burning it to a cd because i have no cd's ok [22:06] xivulon told me to download wubi-proper [22:06] tanath: if you know the command that opens it... killall commandname or if you don't, you could try typing xkill and then clicking on the app [22:06] foo-nix: sudo su is dangerous, because you get a mixed environment. Run sudo -i for a clean root shell. [22:06] wubi-installer.org [22:06] are packages in 8.10 reviewed at all by the ubuntu security team? [22:06] Dr_Willis: but it seems to work. [22:06] soundray: thank you. [22:07] AAAH! at last the netbeans installer :) [22:07] foo-nix: whwen running an X app - the x Security stuff prevents other users from just accessing the X display. thats what the kde and gnome variants ons udo are for. [22:07] tanath: i think there is a gui for that also the equivalent of task manager or somesuch [22:07] foo-nix: or you could use 'sux' [22:07] mp10: I don't think they are reviewed prior to release. Ask hardy questions in #ubuntu+1 though [22:07] Guys I cant find a tutorial for windows gaming on linux.. http://winehq.org/site/download-deb < i went there and did everything now what should i do help me plz! [22:07] soundray, thank you [22:07] Dr_Willis: dear dear :P sux? [22:08] soundray: I was gunna offer sending him my copy.. [22:08] kost_: what game? basically you install wine then run winecfg then try to run the game like wine mygaminstall.exe [22:08] java code is driving me insane. [22:08] I can't increase my resolution above 800x600. I'm baffled. Anyone want to point me in the right direction? [22:08] kost_: depends on what games you're trying to run. there's an application database on that site that might help [22:08] kost_: in short.. Install wine.. find the game installer.. use 'wine gameinstaller.exe' install game.. then run the game with wine /path/to/game.exe [22:08] soundray: And i could Help him with it [22:08] Starnestommy: Warcraft III TFT [22:08] !info sux | foo-nix [22:08] foo-nix: sux: wrapper around su which will transfer your X credentials. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.1-3.2 (gutsy), package size 8 kB, installed size 64 kB [22:08] Megaqwerty, i don't think i want to use xkill. it might kill the whole panel instead [22:08] hey, my advanced desktop manager is replace by a CompizConfig Settings Manager when i installed xubuntu-desktop. bug? cant start it [22:08] tanath: I meant the parent app [22:08] foo-nix: see the mention of X Credentials.. thats the X security stuff that you are not gettting set right with just sudo. :) [22:09] what does it mean when it says WARNING: This will destroy all data on any partitions you have removed [22:09] Megaqwerty, doesn't have a window [22:09] if I was running out of memory and freezing, killing various processes (sshd, apache2) would there be some evidence left in a log that I could check after the fact? I'm trying to diagnose a lockup that appears every few days [22:09] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4149171#post4149171 does anyone know how to fix this :/ [22:09] What is the command to make an iso from a directory? [22:09] Megaqwerty, it's the system resource monitors [22:09] tanath: ah, then knowing the command would help ;) [22:09] Dr_Willis: I see, I will hack my account into having a root account I think [22:09] *hack my terminal [22:09] is there a Linux app that can scan files (that may be concatonated) and figure out what the file(s) may be? [22:09] kost_: the path to game bit will be ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Blizzardwhatever [22:09] Darkmystere__: if you take it on yourself, that's fine. Do consider, though, that people tend to expect help in this channel for recommendations received in this channel. Partition Magic isn't exactly ot here. [22:09] so i found gdm.conf-custom, now i need to know the exact lingo to change ~/.dmrc $home directory permissions and choose a language, can any one help me?

Welcome! [22:10] Thugacation: that depends on your definition of hacker [22:10] Thugacation: hackers is a media-driven-meaningless buzz word these days. [22:10] EyePulp: please respond in #ubuntu-offtopic [22:10] Slart: [22:10] Megaqwerty: : please respond in #ubuntu-offtopic [22:10] I'll give that a try [22:10] hah, i used gps and guessed right [22:10] soundray: I know i wasnt trying to recommend it but its the only partioner that didnt kill windows that i used and everyone else back then was recommending gparted whitch always killed my data and no 1 told me about ubilquity [22:10] soundray: sorry. forgot ;) [22:11] starnestomay: Ubuntu starts normally after I see this floating box. can you tell how to avoid this box? [22:11] bjames: I don't think it will work when more than one are joined though.. I think it expects one filetype per file [22:11] Slart: that seems to have worked [22:11] my on-topic question isn't getting me anywhere - so off-topic seems much more popular... =) [22:11] When it says WARNING: This will destroy all data on any partitions you have removed does that mean my ENTIRE Harddrive will be wiped [22:11] tanath: cool [22:11] EyePulp: I missed your question, please repeat [22:12] Gekkomon_Shogun, it means that if you tell it to use 100G on a 200G partition it will wipe that 100G for itself [22:12] Gekkomon_Shogun: no.. it just means that the data on the partitions you selected to remove will be destroyed.. not the entire hard drive.. unless you selected *all* the partitions [22:12] how will i know [22:12] sql injection [22:12] Slart: it seems to have partially worked - it's picked up the first of the concatonated files [22:12] Gekkomon_Shogun: the above statement comes with no guarantees what so ever... read the man page for the tool you're using.. don't trust the weirdos in this channel =) [22:13] soundray : if I was running out of memory and freezing, killing/stalling various processes (sshd, apache2) would there be some evidence left in a log that I could check after the fact? I'm trying to diagnose a lockup that appears every few days [22:13] What emulators are there to get window games to work on ubuntu? [22:13] Slart: it appears to be a zip file, if I change the extension and open it only shows one file (I am expecting three) [22:13] concatonate means to join together [22:13] !wine | Faust3x [22:13] Faust3x: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. [22:13] dumb word right [22:13] how do i uninstall xubuntu-desktop? [22:13] Faust3x: wine, or one of its variants. [22:13] Faust3x: you like fps games? there are a numbe of native ones [22:13] Slart: is there any way I can find the size and "dd" the other files from the conglomerate? [22:13] Wine doesn't work good for the game I am trying to use [22:14] bjames: yes.. I think it looks at the first bytes in the file.. but I'm not sure.. going a scan of several joined files will be trickier.. perhaps you'll have to write this tool yourself.. I can't really see how it's useful in day-to-day usage [22:14] EyePulp: I would expect out-of-memory conditions to be logged in /var/log/syslog [22:14] I wanna be able to play imvu.com [22:14] i how i did this right [22:14] Thugacation, this is not a chat channel it is a very busy ubuntu support channel, please keep that in mind [22:14] soundray: nice [22:14] Faust3x, I wanna win the lottery :) [22:14] Slart: I'm looking at reverse-engineering my router firmware (at least in part) as I suspect it has some GPL code in it [22:14] how much do you guys get paid to give support to random people [22:14] MrObvious, well, i tried the firewall... it's not that. seemed to help for a few seconds, but still lagging. might be the HDD after all :( [22:14] hi all ! [22:14] bjames: who is this evil person that has joined your precious, but still unknown files, that you need so badly? =) [22:14] i would do it for less than 10 bucks [22:15] !patient | Thugacation [22:15] Sorry, I don't know anything about patient - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [22:15] oh :o [22:15] !attitude | Thugacation [22:15] Thugacation: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [22:15] [please excuse me, i'm not sure that i can ask this here] i'm french and i made an very short english essay about free software for english class. Can i ask here an english speaker to check it please ? :D [22:15] que paso?? [22:15] Slart: I'm looking at reverse-engineering my router firmware (at least in part) as I suspect it has some GPL code in it [22:15] dnanar, join us in #ubuntu-offtopic [22:15] dnanar, there is a french channel [22:15] if wine doesn't make a game run properly, will anything else work better? [22:15] If i use the Ubuntu OS hard drive and use another desktop computer would it work? [22:15] neba | es [22:16] !es | neba [22:16] neba: Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda. [22:16] bjames: oh.. well.. you're trying to split the firmware binary into separate files? .. well.. that sounds like a manual job to me.. a boring job at that =) [22:16] lemontea: most likely [22:16] ompaul: ok thanks [22:16] Faust3x: cedega might be different.. not sure about better [22:16] Slart: I guess so [22:16] :-( [22:16] lemontea: you mean "transplanting" the hard drive from one machine to another? [22:16] soundray yes [22:16] is cedega free if so what is the link to download [22:16] soundray is it possible? [22:16] Faust3x: nope.. it's commercial [22:17] lemontea: it's possible. Whether it works or not depends on how similar the machines are. [22:17] Thugacation: Linux is about sharing what you can .. Your time, your skills, even your money (Canonical) for helping others [22:17] Faust3x: imo wine beats cedega these days the only thing i think wine needs is a slick front end and im sure you can install a few from synaptic [22:17] can someone please assist me in restoring a .bz2 to a Linux block device? [22:17] soundray what if its totaly not similar [22:17] tanath: That sucks. You could buy a copy of SpinRite for 89 bucks off grc.com and see if it can fix your hard drive. [22:17] lemontea: if the origin is a 64bit machine and the target one is 32bit, it won't work. [22:17] Slart: maybe if I extract the known file from the file and create a zip from it, then compare this to the original and try again [22:18] well wine plays the game, it just makes the game laggy and slow, and the graphics are messed up [22:18] MrObvious, can't buy stuff online... and i don't have windows anyway [22:18] Anyone have any server recommendations for an Ubuntu box running Drupal? [22:18] lemontea: your chances of being able to at least boot in recovery mode are good if the target machine is more recent [22:18] soundray what if both are 32 bits is it still possible i heard someone had a black screen with xorg error [22:18] Slart: although this depends on knowing the exact format of the zip [22:18] argh [22:18] tanath: apologies for the slow reponse, I was just researching a few thing [22:18] tanath: how are you getting on [22:18] I want to get 32bit firefox and the other codecs on Gutsy 64bit. I have installed the ubuntu-restricted-extras package. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202537 just confised me and i do not know what to do. [22:18] ikonia, i've determined it's not the firewall. it may be a dying hdd [22:19] bjames: I wouldn't really know where to start.. sorry.. and it [22:19] lemontea: yes, that would be the case if the graphics hardware is different. You could change the configuration to use the vesa driver to improve your chances. [22:19] tanath: check the output of 'dmesg' - often when my HDs are dieing - i see a lot of messages in there about them. [22:19] tanath: ok, thats an interesting though, try running ioscan for a bit and seeing if read/write or seek times are slow [22:19] user's default session and language in the user's [22:19] ~/.dmrc and will use these defaults if the user [22:19] did not pick a session or language in the login GUI. [22:19] bjames: and it's hard to come up with some hints when I have no idea what the file looks like or what it does [22:19] hello [22:19] Dr_Willis, i have... it's complaining [22:19] i have 2 computers [22:19] tanath: ahhh well found [22:19] how do i change this any one? [22:19] connectet to router [22:19] is there a reason why wine distorts the game I am trying to play and makes it slow? [22:19] b0ha: ask your question on one line [22:20] tanath: time to be making backups. :) [22:20] Dr_Willis: good call [22:20] Anyone have any server recommendations for an Ubuntu box running Drupal? [22:20] Hello. I've just tried booting after the install (using the alternative installer for the more flexible partitioner), and it errors out with "Check root= bootarg cat /proc/cmdline or missing modules, devices: cat /proc/modules ls /dev ALERT! /dev/mapper/vg-root does not exist. Dropping to a shell!". So, how do I troubleshoot and how do I fix? [22:20] Dr_Willis, can't. it's a nearly full 250Gb HDD [22:20] Faust3x: ask in #winehq instead.. that's what that channel is there for [22:20] ty [22:20] soundray how would i fix / work the way around the xorg screen? [22:20] Dr_Willis: My netbeans works now :) been erroring about all lately, probably due to not getting a 'lock' on X. I thought X was not a resource :P [22:20] tanath: whats why i keep a large # of externalUsb hard drives around. [22:20] Dr_Willis, i did buy another larger HDD, but it's a sata, and turns out my comp doesn't have a sata port [22:21] lemontea: boot in recovery mode and run 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' [22:21] Im having an issue (Not pulse related) where randomly things will freeze up... Like epiphany, Usually happens when i use flash player, And then after that i more or less have to reboot because anything that has to do with audio will start freezing up [22:21] tanath: dident read the package eh? [22:21] Like right now epiphany-browser just froze when i tried to open something on you-tube [22:21] Dr_Willis, no, i wanted sata... thought my comp supported it [22:21] tanath, you can either get a pci sata controller, or a pata to sata converter [22:21] ah good [22:21] ubuntu is the default [22:21] how do i make lan ? i tryed connecting by FTP but max upload is 31kb/s since i have 1mbit connection. So why isnt the connection faster ? I have computers connected to router [22:21] this is suppurt? [22:21] err support [22:21] nhorning: correct [22:21] nhorning: sure [22:21] XLV, ah, i need a new comp anyway... just can't afford on ATM [22:22] i'm kinda hoping it'll hold out [22:22] ok, I can't get Ubuntu to start without acpi=off [22:22] but when I do that I lose USB [22:22] nhorning: probably a limitation of your motherboards hardware. What chipset is it [22:22] and that means I can't print or transfer photos [22:22] amd 64X2 [22:22] tanath, well, both are economical solutions.. something like 20$ for a controller or 10-15$ for the converter [22:22] nhorning: thats a cpu, not a chipset [22:22] nhorning: try 'pci=noacpi' instead of acpi=off [22:22] err [22:22] soundray how would i start up from recovery afterwards it would be fine right? [22:23] my motherboard is a M2A-VM [22:23] Asus [22:23] XLV, er, 'pata'? [22:23] tanath, parallel ata [22:23] Hi, is there a simple way to close an application after the machine has had no user input after a certain amount of time? I'm trying to put together a kiosk like computer. [22:23] how do i fix my usb sound? [22:23] XLV, i have ide... [22:23] nhorning: someone in here yesterday had the same problem [22:23] lemontea: erm, can you rephrase that question? [22:23] nhorning: its a brand new board isn't it [22:23] Well, I got it at fri's about a month ago [22:23] tanath, ide is term used for parallel ata [22:23] nhorning: so about a month old [22:24] soundray how would i boot up to recovery ? [22:24] whitman: if you are refering to closing firefox. there are extensions for koisk fetures for the browser. [22:24] XLV, ah [22:24] Does anyone use Ubuntu on a thinkpad T42 ? [22:24] nhorning: the other guy got better support after a bios upgrade [22:24] or a thinkpad T series? [22:24] Cpudan80: sure, I have one [22:24] Dr_Willis, it's not firefox [22:24] ikonia: Do you use an external monitor?

You may have to hit Esc to see that -- watch your boot messages carefully [22:24] nhorning: ahh he got better results with the latest [22:24] ikonia: Ever noticed that videos wont play on it? [22:24] the update utility the have used windows [22:24] Cpudan80: can't say I have no [22:24] how do i fix my usb sound i have SB Live! 24-bit external??? [22:24] They'll play on the LCD ikonia [22:24] what, like the very latest? [22:24] javaguru: You ever had this problem? [22:25] nhorning: try 'pci=noacpi' instead of acpi=off [22:25] ok [22:25] brb [22:25] nhorning: yup, he was in here yesterday, or the day before, no later, also checkout soundray's advice [22:25] Cpudan80: i've just installed it [22:25] so no [22:25] Im having an issue (Not pulse related) where randomly things will freeze up... Like epiphany, Usually happens when i use flash player, And then after that i more or less have to reboot because anything that has to do with audio will start freezing up [22:25] Any ideas?

Check with the memtest86 option from the boot menu. Leave it to run a few hours (unless you see errors sooner) [22:26] soundray afterwards it would run perfectly? [22:26] ikonia: gimmie a sec and I'll pastebin the file [22:26] soundray, the rams fine... i think its exclusivly with flash at this point [22:26] Cpudan80: maybe you can give the player some kind of display 0:1 parameter [22:26] Anyone have any server recommendations for an Ubuntu box running Drupal? [22:26] The only other time is when i run secondlife, But secondlife is messed up anyways [22:26] so they play on the "right" monitore [22:27] and it always has to do with sound.

[22:41] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [22:41] Anyone know how to map a network drive? [22:41] OmegaCenti: just give it a second. You're asking so quickly it's thinking you're spamming it [22:41] Thanks Megaqwerty [22:41] sco50000: did you find a relevant message in the log? [22:41] Megaqwerty: I am still sad though :( [22:41] some type of dvd are not mountable in ubuntu (i dont know the exact fs) but they work fine in winxp. anyone aware [22:41] OmegaCenti: I'm not sure what you mean by "map a network drive" [22:42] OmegaCenti: What are you trying to accomplish? [22:42] soundray, i'll go check it [22:42] !css | noroot [22:42] noroot: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs [22:42] :( [22:42] Megaqwerty: I am trying to access the H:drive of my home folder of my Computer Science class remotely [22:42] ryanprior: no its not in dvd formart, its actually avi files on dvd. [22:42] soundray, the syslog is empty [22:43] good night [22:43] noroot: It's still in a certain disk filesystem. [22:43] hello all, i'm new to ubuntu so sorry if this is a dumb question [22:43] tanath: You don't need Windows to use it. [22:43] OmegaCenti: is it on your LAN? [22:43] noroot: The filesystem that can't be mounted on Ubuntu by default, but can on Windows, is CSS. [22:43] MrObvious, ikonia, i've unmounted the partition that i suspected had the problem, and that appears to have done it [22:43] MrObvious, cool [22:43] yes maybe joilet but i am not sure [22:43] i'd like to update firefox, but the update tool says its up-to-date.. however it is 2.0.0.6 and the latest version is 2.0.0.11 [22:43] sco50000: in that case, you will need to try out some boot options. Start with "noapic". Ubotu will send you some info by private message [22:43] OmegaCenti: (I also assume it's a Windows computer) [22:43] !bootoptions > sco50000 [22:44] tanath: It's just an ISO that after you buy you burn the disc and it runs and should help. [22:44] daysleepr: You'll need to get the new package from Hardy. [22:44] do i need to set a new repository for synaptic [22:44] Megaqwerty: I it is on tamu.edu, I am connected to tamu.edu, however, a vpn connection is required to connect to tamulink [22:44] soundray, i think ubotu is a little slow right now [22:44] daysleepr: Not necessarily. You can probably get it form getdeb. [22:44] ryanprior: yes maybe joilet but i am not sure [22:44] Megaqwerty: I have no idea what kind of computer it is [22:44] !bootoptions > sco50000 [22:44] OmegaCenti: give me a second [22:45] let me give that a shot, thank you [22:45] tanath: It's got several recovery options that go bit by bit, read the data, replace corrupted bits with leftover bits on the harddrive so it works, and blacklists bad bits. It's not a bad investment and is some good hard drive maintence. I haven't had the money to buy it and I really wish I could. [22:45] Megaqwerty: np. [22:45] sco50000: you can do '/msg ubotu bootoptions' as well [22:45] sounds good, but i have to go. thx [22:45] Is there a way to refresh my mouse drivers without rebooting the computer? My mouse keeps dying every 10 minutes. [22:45] RyanPrior: mouose drivers ? as in xorg ? [22:45] whit the config file in the place, the 40 lines of erros disapear and i get = ignored option=rw [22:45] ikonia: As in whatever drives the mouse. I don't know specifics. [22:45] thank you star [22:46] RyanPrior: is it a USB mouse? [22:46] soundray: Yes it is. [22:46] RyanPrior: Yeah you don't need to reboot like Windows. modprobe is probably the command you want, but I'd rather diagnose why your mouse dies every 10 minutes. However it's not quite my department. [22:46] soundray, k, thanks i'll play around for a bit and see if i can get this working [22:46] ok another question,...how would i update my drivers? such as USB? [22:46] OmegaCenti: to connect to the VPN, install network-manager-openvpn [22:46] RyanPrior: as a workaround, have you tried pulling it out and plugging it back in again? [22:46] Hello, I'm experiencing some issues to configure my bind9 dns server. Does someone can help me? I follow tutoriels, i checked a lot of times everything seem to be ok. But when digging, I have "Answer: 0;" and the domain is not pinging [22:46] soundray: That does not work. [22:47] lex0: the drivers for USB are part of the kernel, what problem with them are you experiencing? [22:47] OmegaCenti: then the network-manager will have VPN support [22:47] Megaqwerty: I already am connected to the vpn I think. I installed network-manager-vpnc and vpnc [22:47] my sound does not work [22:47] OmegaCenti: that was the other option [22:47] is there any acer laptop with a webcam??? [22:47] Megaqwerty: which one is better? [22:47] for example when going to a website i cannot hear sounds on videos [22:47] RyanPrior: then it's a USB problem. Do you connect your mouse via a hub or directly to the motherboard? [22:47] OmegaCenti: I honestly don't know [22:47] lex0: is your soundcard USB? [22:47] OmegaCenti: I've never used either [22:47] yes [22:47] soundray: It's a laptop, so I assume the ports are not far from the motherboard. [22:48] i have SB Live! 24-bit external [22:48] Hey all, I have a question about XVidCap for capturing of my desktop [22:48] Megaqwerty: My vpn requires a gateway, ID, secret, username, password, and vpnc plugin for network manager only asks for gateway, and group id which I not idea what it is. [22:48] OmegaCenti: Then I suppose you could try the openvpn plugin instead [22:48] lex0: well that problem is most likely not a problem with USB drivers, but rather ALSA, which handles sound cards [22:48] Megaqwerty: The problem isn't connecting to the vpn however, it is mapping a a drive to this computer so I can use it like it was here locally. [22:48] *nods* [22:48] okay [22:48] lex0: what's the issue specifically? [22:48] When I capture it and playe the movie, Its too fast palyin... [22:49] with xVidCap [22:49] when i open a website and play a video i cannot hear sound [22:49] it works on my AIM [22:49] does someoene can give me some tricks to resolve my dns problem ? [22:49] manuel_jordison: IDK. This isn't the channel for it, but I'd imagine so. Google might be your friend here. [22:49] Oy, I cannot wait to stop using pidgin for IRC... I want my IRSSI back XD [22:49] but nothing else [22:49] How do I reboot my usb subsystem? [22:49] yoni_ub: Explain your DNS problem. [22:49] OmegaCenti: Well, assuming you're connected to the VPN, your computer should act like it's on the same LAN. In this case, You merely have to go to Places>Network and browse for the share [22:49] How can I get low that speed playin! [22:49] lex0: is that a flash video? [22:49] lex0: which version of Ubuntu are you using? [22:49] OmegaCenti: i use vpnc from cli itll prompt you for each item like sudo vpnc --domaim=mahdomain youll need to contact your IT group or something for that stuff [22:49] yes like youtube [22:49] RyanPrior: I don't have any specific advice for your problem, but I've found that a USB PC card adapter works better than the built-in laptop USB hardware. [22:49] ihave gutsy [22:50] lex0: does it play the sound after you login? [22:50] i can't find firefox on getdeb.org .. woudl it be ok to just download the latest version and isntall it myself, or would this mess up synaptic [22:50] pike_: hey hows it going! long time no see, and its okay if you don't remember. I already have all the information, and I already used vpnc-connect [22:50] soundray, noapci did nothing and i really don't know where to start with all the other boot options [22:50] no [22:50] just seems strange... to have the package manager and then have to manually install it [22:50] soundray: Rebooting the computer gets it to come back, and starting the kernel with "irqpoll" and "pci=routeirq" solves the problem also. [22:50] I configure the dns hosts file, like describe in many tutorials on the web, but it doesn't work, when i'm digging i don't have any answers, and this line appear, and seem to be strangealadyo.be. 38400 IN SOA ks35373.kimsufi.com. yoni.aladyo.com. 1200405705 10800 3600 604800 38400 [22:50] lex0: but `aplay /usr/share/sounds/*up.wav` is audible? [22:50] maybe i just dont know how to configure ALSA [22:50] hi [22:50] it should be shorten thant that [22:50] sco50000: it's noapic (not noapci) [22:50] Megaqwerty: I don't think it is "shared" that way [22:51] soundray, oops [22:51] can help me please in IE4linux [22:51] daysleepr: you can download anything from the Ubuntu repository through the web interface. http://packages.ubuntu.com [22:51] RyanPrior: oh good, so you have a solution [22:51] yoni_ub: So basically you're making your own DNS server locally? [22:51] let me check crimsun [22:51] daysleepr: I don't suggest downloading and installing yourself. You can get the Hardy package from packages.ubuntu.com, but there's no guarantee it will install. [22:51] OmegaCenti: Then I need to know how it's shared to be able to help you [22:51] mrobvious: sorry i tried so hard but i couldn t find anything [22:51] yes, [22:51] anybody familiar with 32bit firefox on 64bit gutsy? [22:51] Heyyyyy!! nobody is there who can help me? :( [22:51] daysleepr: You could file a bug in Launchpad asking for a backport to Gutsy too. [22:51] yoni_ub: Can I ask why? I might be able to suggest a less involved solution. [22:51] Megaqwerty: its a network drive, and I need to "map it" I am sorry I don't know any other way to describe it :) [22:51] portablejim: I'm doing it now. [22:52] kinglet: ask your question and have some patience waiting for an answer [22:52] soundray, well, noapic gave the same results [22:52] portablejim: Why do you need to use 32 bit Firefox? There's a 64 bit version/ [22:52] lex0 what is the output for dpkg -s esound [22:52] daysleepr: I can attempt to backport a package for you if it is extremely important. It would take me a while to compile it as I'm on my laptop however, and I could only make an i386 package. [22:52] does not work [22:52] pike_: you alive there? [22:52] MrObvsious, because my registrat doesn't allow me to manage completly the dns, and i want to have special dns records for gmail mail hostings [22:52] OmegaCenti: sometimes :) [22:53] *registrar [22:53] star, is that in the sound option under system? [22:53] RyanPrior: Flash doesn't work in 64 for me but I installed 32 bit and it works fine. [22:53] OmegaCenti: What I need to know is what protocol it's shared with [22:53] sco50000: too bad you're having all that trouble. Next thing to try is nolapic, possibly in combination with noapic [22:53] How do you get java, flash, etc on 64bit firefox. I have installed the ubuntu-restricted extras. [22:53] lex0 no that checks to see if the package esound is installed [22:53] soundray: I do it! emmm I have a problem with xVidCap, when I captured and play the movie that is too fast! how can I get down the palying speed? [22:53] Hi there [22:53] soundray, ok [22:53] OmegaCenti: like...sshfs, samba, NFS, etc. [22:53] MrObvious: Ah, flash-restricted. Have fun. :-) [22:53] portablejim: I followed this guide and got it to work: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AMD64/FirefoxAndPlugins?action=show&redirect=FirefoxAMD64FlashJava [22:53] thank you for the offer but i'm looking for a solution that will survive future versions [22:53] what do i type in terminal? [22:53] I'm shocked and in awe [22:53] what happened to gaybuntu.com? [22:53] daysleepr: what od you mean "survive future versions" ? [22:53] lex0: dpkg -s esound (may require sudo) [22:53] I found it really cool [22:53] !ot | DenisG [22:53] kinglet: I don't know, please ask the channel [22:53] DenisG: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [22:53] Megaqwerty: one sec it seems that our computer science deapartment has its own vpn. one sec while I dig into that more. [22:54] anyone from IBM here ? can't get Mobility Client to work [22:54] yoni_ub: Hmm, you mean your ISP has bad DNS serv.ers? I set my DNS to 4.2.2.1, 4.2.2.2, and 4.2.2.3 because my ISP's DNS servers where having hiccups lately [22:54] OmegaCenti: k [22:54] can everyone help me [22:54] it says esound is not installed [22:54] !ask | sich [22:54] sich: 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. :-) [22:54] nickrud: hello... how are you doing? [22:54] soundray: I asked! but nobody answer me... [22:54] i'm using 7.10 ... latest version me thinks [22:54] how would i install it? [22:54] well, when firefox 2.0.0.50 comes out, i'll be back in the same boat [22:54] it's an hosting website server [22:54] i have problem with ie4linux [22:54] that is screeshot [22:54] an hosting? [22:55] Hm.. this might not be the right channel to ask but... does anyone know how to set up a web server (Apache-based LAMP server) if your ISP blocks port 80? [22:55] http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/2117/fehleriy5.gif === lymeca is now known as theroue [22:55] kinglet: have some patience and repeat after 10 minutes or so. New people are logging on all the time. [22:55] daysleepr: okay, I suppose I'm not understanding your request. Could you restate it? [22:55] MrObvious, I plan to have several website on it and to manage mails using gmail [22:55] lex0: this might be the problem, but I am not sure, you can install esound with sudo apt-get install esound [22:55] soundray: ok mate! tnx [22:55] daysleepr: Ubuntu is on a revolving update system. You'll get security patches as soon as they come out, and you'll get software upgrades once every 6 months if you do a distro upgrade. [22:55] MrObvious, It's to configure the dns for the domain aladyo.be [22:55] ok so after installing esound what should i check out? [22:56] yoni_ub: Ohh I see what you're doing. I got confused sorry. [22:56] MrObvious: thanks for the link. Much easier to understand than the stickied forum post. [22:56] so I have a friend that has a thinkpad t30, z61m and a t40p and they all have the athoeros wifi card in them and they all go online but the signal is very low on them and at times to low to connect is there a way to fix this? [22:56] portablejim: YW. [22:56] I have a problem with xVidCap, when I captured and play the movie that is too fast! how can I get down the palying speed? [22:56] so the 2.0.0.6 has all the security patches applied to make it as safe as 2.0.0.11 [22:56] I cannot get my windows VNC client to connect to the server on my Ubuntu machine, suggestions? [22:56] yoni_ub: So you're trying to get a domain (aladyo.be) to your IP address then? [22:56] lex0 you should trying playing sound in something, make sure that AIM still works, see if anything else works, but it might require a restart [22:56] daysleepr: Yes, all security patches should be in place, but API changes and so on will not be updated until you upgrade to Hardy. [22:56] Hello, why when i share a folder in a ntfs partition, the entire partition become shared? [22:56] alright [22:56] MrObvious, Yes, that right! [22:56] i will try reboot [22:57] thanks for help [22:57] I have a hard drive that won't mount after an ubuntu upgrade. can't fsck nor mount as it shows it busy. no change with a reboot, shows fine in dmesg and is not mounted nor in mtab, any ideas? it worked fine previously [22:57] Anyone here familure with pulse audio [22:57] soundray, nolapic and nolapic noapic had the same effect. it just keeps hanging at "Starting Common Unix Printing System: cupsd" [22:57] johnficc1: there is a really good way to fix this that I've personally tested: Swap the Atheros mini PCI cards against Intel 2200BG ones. The stock Ubuntu drivers for those are much better. [22:57] daysleepr: correct. [22:57] MrObvious, The domain is already forwarding to this IP [22:57] !anybody | phoul [22:57] phoul: 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? [22:57] cva: Loose cable? [22:57] MrObvious, The domain is already forwarding to this fixed IP [22:57] Because im never answered. [22:57] Anyways [22:57] what would you guys use as a calendar software? [22:57] So is Ekiga a good video conferencing software? [22:57] (under ubuntu) [22:57] MrObvious: nope, dmesg sees it just fine [22:58] When i try to run any of the pulse audio things (Like the sound controller) It says connection refused [22:58] phoul: If nobody answers, it's because nobody knows the answer. [22:58] Ive followed all the steps in the wiki entry for it [22:58] yoni_ub: Yeah I understand. So if I were to ping the domain it would ping your IP? [22:58] i've been looking around but i can't decide which one's the best [22:58] there seem to be just too many to try! [22:58] how does skype compare to ekiga? [22:58] soundray, nolapic and nolapic noapic had the same effect. it just keeps hanging at "Starting Common Unix Printing System: cupsd" [22:58] sco50000: okay, let's give up on the theory of a minor hardware incompatibility. In recovery mode, run 'sudo update-rc.d -f cupsys remove' [22:58] jimmygoon: Skype is better, but Ekiga is Free. [22:58] soundray, okay [22:58] sco50000: you can reactivate cupsys later, this is just to see if it changes anything. [22:58] RyanPrior, thats what I assumed would be the case [22:58] MrObvious, Yes but right now, he doesn't succeed to resolve the aladyo.Be domain, because dns are not set correctly on the ubuntu server [22:59] I have a problem with xVidCap, when I captured and play the movie that is too fast! how can I get down the palying speed? [22:59] pike_: SPEAK TO ME! XD [22:59] jimmygoon: Ekiga also has better Gnome integration, if that's important to you. [22:59] yoni_ub: Hmm. There's gotta be a better solution. Who is providing the domain? [22:59] OmegaCenti: you manage to connect? [22:59] Register.be [22:59] RyanPrior, yeah, that is [22:59] soundray: thanks but I need a fix without changing the hardware [22:59] RyanPrior, but skype on windows would be good too, since I'm leaving the other end with my parents.. [23:00] johnficc1: is he using the stock driver that came with the ubuntu kernel? [23:00] jimmygoon: You might be able to run Ekiga on Windows, I'm not sure. [23:00] skype to skype calls are free. :) [23:00] I have my laptop (gutsy 7.10) screens resolution set to 1680x1050. I also the lid closed and an external monitor 22" flat panel as the primary viewing device. Here is the problem that is driving me bananas: [23:00] I open any window and when i maximize the window i think it is maximizing at 1024x768. Now if i move the window to the middle of the screen, i can maximize it to the 1680x1050, but the moment i click anywhere it goes right back to the smaller resolution. [23:00] Is this a bug, or perhaps is there a quick fix that i am unable to find anything [23:00] soundray: yes [23:00] MrObvious; and they doesn't allow me to manage the mx records, so i forward all the dns, on my server to customize the dns [23:00] RyanPrior, oooh. you're right [23:01] yoni_ub: Sorry I guess I misunderstood the problem initially. What I would suggest is going to no-ip.com and setting up a subdomain there and setting it to point to your IP, then setting your domain to point to your subdomain there. [23:01] pike_: nope [23:01] johnficc1: consult the docs (link coming in private message) -- look out for instructions on updating the madwifi driver [23:01] !wifi > johnficc1 [23:01] daysleepr: is your problem resolved? [23:01] hello some help me.. :) I just bought a seagate 500gb hard drive... and I am in GParted to partion it... and it says it is only 372GB... I understand that a 500GB drive isn't exactly 500GB... a little less... but that is a lot less... someone help me out.. thank you!! [23:01] pike_: So far, openvpn for some reason needs a certificate file, which is not provided by the vpn of my computer science department, and vpnc needs some stupid thing called a group id. [23:01] yoni_ub: I have it set up at entercomm.no-ip.biz forwarding to my IP address now, and if I wanted a domain all I'd do is point it to that no-ip.biz address since they update their servers within 5 minutes. [23:01] MrObvious; I don't need that, because i have a fixed IP [23:02] pike_: So far, I hate both. [23:02] Megaqwerty: i think so. how can i be sure the security patches are applied? is there a log or list of this? === nikon253 is now known as nikon252 [23:02] Megaqwerty: i'm considering just un-installing firefox and then installing from the mozilla site... this enables auto-updates [23:02] bobby_: That might be accurate [23:02] yoni_ub: Ok, I guess I've helped as much as I can. Sorry I can't do more but it's worth looking into (even with a static IP) as it would seem simpler to me. [23:02] soundray, now it doesn't show any cups stuff but it says starting powernowd, then somthing about CPU frequency scaling not supported, then it says [OK] and hangs [23:02] would you know any , uhm, more or less graphical SAMBA share browsers? cant remember exact share names or so.... [23:02] running ubuntu live [23:02] bobby_: I agree -- this would be reason enough to complain for me. [23:02] daysleepr: you could read the changelogs I suppose. But security patches are applied very quickly after they are made upstream. [23:03] RyanPrior, :/ I didn't realize that skype hadn't embraced SIP [23:03] in windows you can sort of "browse" a microsoft network, and when you find a share, you get asked for password... would like something like that [23:03] Megaqwerty: excellent, thank you for your help!

No energy to read long tutorials tonight... :) [23:04] bobby_: RMA it [23:04] Cpudan80: i havn't part. it yet... it still is unpart. that is just what it came up with... [23:04] yoni_ub: What I did was sign up for an account there, add a record, set the IP address to my broadband connection here at work and no-ip.com automatically updates it once you set itup. [23:04] Cpudan80: what and how do you RMA it? [23:04] Hello, why when i share a folder in a ntfs partition, the entire partition become shared?

Im having a few errors during a Kubuntu install... [23:05] OmegaCenti: or maybe have them check settings on someones cisco vpn client app [23:05] yoni_ub: Nope. no-ip set up DNS. You can even ping that address and it will go to my router as it's set up correctly. No need for having a local DNS server at all. [23:05] Cpudan80: even before i've partioned it?

[23:22] pike_: no [23:22] needs root [23:22] sco50000: no, I don't thing gdm is the problem -- if startx works, gdm shouldn't have troubles bringing X up [23:22] Flare183: did you use the gpl'ed version or the proprietary one? i've just read about some (still unknown to me) limitations of the free version of virtualbox [23:22] ok coz i cant do the windows thing now coz i dont have the cd and the raid drivers right now how do i do the second?

[23:36] anyone? === dexen is now known as Teraano [23:37] OmegaCent1: xchat other than that ive only use cli since i typically ssh [23:37] hi. can anybody help me with a hd-problem. got a partition with exf3 with ubuntu, and a ntfs-partition were all my old movies and music is. the problem is that I can't delete things from the ntfs partition. the files get deleted from the folders, but the partition-size stays the same [23:37] pike_: ssh will do irc?

[23:37] p34r: yep [23:38] Cleanser23: well.. you could boot normally and then shut down gdm [23:38] ah ok [23:38] if someone gets a minute I need help with an atheros card installation? [23:38] pike_: ssh will do irc? [23:38] p34r: the first user ubuntu creates (being you probably, is automatically added to this group) [23:38] hey does any one know of an osx like dock that is compatible with amd64 systems [23:38] OmegaCent1: irssi over ssh [23:38] Slart, see the problem is X boots but then the driver or res is messed up so i get an orange LED, so i am going to install the proprietary driver for the card so it will work [23:38] o.o [23:38] pike_: ah, where do you ssh to? [23:39] julabask: avant-window-navigator [23:39] auto connect... [23:39] Slart, and i cant configure my network in single user mode [23:39] it says the card is not supported but on the compiz site it says it is [23:39] Megaqwerty: no, i know... i just meant that... the method of browsing the shares via "places". You know, it seems its using some kind of special solution, gnomeVFS or so.... and its not like "the real thing". so i prefer smbfs [23:39] Megaqwerty: [23:39] err [23:39] pike_: setting up irssi is going to be interesting... do you use screens? [23:39] adduser: The group `admin' does not exist. [23:39] Is there an easy way that if you from a shell have logged in to a computer via ssh to copy a file to your home computer from there? [23:39] !scp | patogen [23:39] patogen: SCP is a secure way of copying files across networks using !SSH.

[23:39] hi [23:40] Megaqwerty: the latest server [23:40] Megaqwerty, do you know where i can get instructions on how to install this i dont see it in my package manager. is their a repository website i can add to download it. [23:40] p34r: does your user have sudo access? [23:40] Megaqwerty: i'm under root right now [23:40] Okay, I can't seem to remember how, but isn't there a way to set Update Manager to automatically download and install updates? [23:40] Starnestommy: I'll look into it ... only used linux for servers before ... and never needed that feature until now ;) [23:40] OmegaCent1: not really. i suppose i should get used to using screen [23:40] p34r: right, but does your regular user have sudo access? [23:40] iam running mythtv on my ubuntu box as backend and frontend....always when iam watchin live tv, mythtv records the stream until i change the channel, when the channel is changend mythtv starts to record that channel to, any ideas to stop that?

[23:41] p34r: then I'm completely unfamiliar with your configuration. [23:41] Cleanser23: hmm.. well.. I guess you could do something.. keep x from starting.. perhaps rename the xorg.conf.. but that doesn't seem like a good ide [23:41] idea [23:41] julabask: install what? sorry, I'm helping a lot of people. [23:41] Megaqwerty: ...it's just a raw installation? [23:41] ineti: Try the #mythtv channel, I'm sure they will know for sure. [23:41] Does anyone know if the harddrive failure problem with ubuntu get solved? [23:41] p34r: add them manually to /etc/sudoers using visudo? [23:42] Megaqwerty, it's allrigth, avant windows manager [23:42] OmegaCent1: ? [23:42] p34r: ah, give me a second [23:42] OmegaCent1: Not sure, I know there was a fix to keep the HDD from staying spooled though. [23:42] !hdbug | this? [23:42] this?: Ubuntu does *not* modify the settings that affect HD lifespans by default. An analysis from an Ubuntu Technical Board member and ACPI expert can be found at http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77672.html (See https://launchpad.net/bug59695.html and http://tinyurl.com/2vyrft for more information) [23:42] p34r: that's the other more complex option, yes. editing /etc/sudoers [23:42] Laptop problem of the headf mountin and unmounting many times per minute caused premature harddrive failure. [23:42] Megaqwerty: well i just simply want to set up a sudo account for me (i'm the admin) and my friend [23:43] OmegaCent1: see above [23:43] when I try mounting a USB drive (because I need to replay a log) I get an error saying mount: can't find /dev/sdb1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab (anyone advice) ? [23:43] LjL will do :) [23:43] p34r: then yes, since the admin group doesn't exist, just add them to /etc/sudoers [23:43] OmegaCent1: That's right, it was the mounting problem, not spooling. :-) [23:43] hey, how can i change the color that the current directory is shown in, as well as the color of directories when i run `ls` ? [23:43] to orange? [23:43] Megaqwerty: /etc/sudoers doesn't exist [23:44] p34r: is sudo installed even? [23:44] * Slart has a /etc/sudoers [23:44] Megaqwerty: uhh, shouldn't it come with ubutntu? [23:44] ubuntu [23:44] p34r: that's what I thought...but check just in case [23:44] julabask: getting the thread, hold on [23:45] Megaqwerty: how would i check? [23:45] p34r: apt-get install sudo [23:45] p34r: or dpkg -l | grep sudo [23:45] Megaqwerty: yeah it's there [23:45] nothing upgraded [23:45] have others in here tried to install tcl/tk8.5 and have it work w amsn in gutsy? it seems that the tcl/tk8.5 I get from tcl.tk is somehow broken, but I might have forgotten some important step? I sooooo want antialiased fonts! [23:45] Shpook: looks like it is a load/unload cycles problem, checking it out now though [23:46] hey guys [23:46] could someone help me [23:46] install my 8800gts? [23:46] !ask [23:46] 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. :-) [23:46] !nvidia | fgribben [23:46] fgribben: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [23:46] does anyone know a workaround with the securom problem with wine [23:46] sorry about that [23:46] LJL did you use the quickfix or have any knowledge of it? [23:46] hello everyone [23:46] con-man, as in #winehq ? [23:47] neverblue: they dont answer [23:47] OmegaCent1, i believe the devs when they say there is not a problem. [23:47] Megaqwerty: hmm why is setting up a user to access ssh so difficult :P [23:47] con-man, then you are going to have to be patient :) [23:47] Hello. I've just tried booting after the install (using the alternative installer for the more flexible partitioner), and it errors out with "Check root= bootarg cat /proc/cmdline or missing modules, devices: cat /proc/modules ls /dev ALERT! /dev/mapper/vg-root does not exist. Dropping to a shell!". So, how do I troubleshoot and how do I fix? [23:48] LJL there is a problem whenever the default harddrive parameters load/unload the heads too often, which is stated inside one of the forums from the ubotu link you gave me. [23:48] p34r: it generally isn't. I never had this problem on my 6.06 server (as far as I can remember) [23:48] con-man: just leave it open youll come back tomorrow and theyll be a comment for ya [23:48] well I'll go straight to the point, finally got my N73 and I'm just wondering is there any apps in ubuntu I can use to connect my phone?

[23:49] Pirate_Hunter: select "data transfer mode" when connecting the USB. i bought a N95 2 days ago [23:49] Megaqwerty, thanks [23:49] p34r: but you don't have an /etc/sudoers file? [23:49] julabask: np [23:49] pornsakb: i dont think so ive never done that with the debian installer its usually just the basic metapackages i thinkg [23:50] Megaqwerty: ah wait it's there, woops [23:50] key was messing me up [23:50] Could I have a few minutes of someone's time?
