[00:00] crimsun, and how? [00:00] 1) My wireless isnt detected. 2) My sound is not working. Can someone help? [00:00] toucansam-> swap space is 2x your ram memory, have a separate partition for your /home too if possible [00:00] crimsun, and now? [00:00] Seveas, yes, thanks. I'm in the middle of the download. [00:00] toucansam 2GB swap file should do [00:00] toucansam: make swap twice the size of your RAM -- if you have 1GB RAM then 2GB swap [00:00] root / in the ext3 partition you created [00:00] Is there any support for Asus D2X soundcard? [00:00] benanzo: I sorted the fstab, unmounted the disk, and when I try to remount, it brings up the same "logfile unclean" error [00:00] benanzo: Mounting volume... Failed to startup volume : Invalid argument [00:00] FAILED [00:00] Attempting to correct errors... FAILED [00:00] Failed to startup volume : Invalid argument [00:00] Volume is corrupt.

[00:00] soumn_pwned: did you install the recompiled version, too? [00:01] crimsun, yeah [00:01] neato :D [00:01] thats not wot i wanted,.,.lol [00:01] soumn_pwned: if so, please load the recompiled version (or reboot) [00:01] Master_Z: First solution is to boot Ubuntu from LiveCD and see what happen [00:01] ThipThip: this isn't really an NTFS problem then. You have a corrupted filesystem. [00:01] what would /home be? and why do i need another swap for that? [00:01] soumn_pwned: I'll also need to see `dmesg` pastebinned [00:01] hey guys I need huge favor, http://digg.com/design/Creating_a_Crazy_Cool_Logo , if you have digg.. pleaseee digg this [00:01] <3 [00:01] neither worked Snake, but I didnt care. People have gotten my things to work [00:01] the only really safe way to rebuild it would be from within windows [00:01] Seveas, I gather you can zap you Windoze partitions easily as well. === spencer_ is now known as ingvildr [00:01] and what does primary mean [00:01] crimsun, how do i load? [00:01] benanzo: How can this be? I was using this drive all day today? It wasn't until I tried to change the permissions that this started. [00:01] Seveas, the virtualized one. [00:01] benanzo: It still comes up "LogFile unclean" even after all the messing about and unmounting and remounting [00:01] Dr_willis, ok, I fixed it.. I repaired the boot record and mbr, and loaded easybcd and setup the loader for the ubuntu partition. [00:02] lgc, very, you simply delete the vmdisk files [00:02] hola? [00:02] toucansam-> you dont need a swap for /home the partitions you need are / , swap and /home [00:02] soumn_pwned: (you can simply reboot to load the newer version easily) [00:02] Seveas, thanks. [00:02] !es | fantasma [00:02] fantasma: Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda. [00:02] crimsun, ok... brb [00:02] bkar: what does primary/logical do? [00:02] Snake ArtworX: My wireless card is the realtek 8185. My sound card is a Sigmatel STAC9200. I heard for the sound, I needed to update ALSA. How would I do this? [00:02] benanzo, its bad when u have to rely on Microsft to fix problems [00:02] Master_Z: In my case it worked. I have an Edimax PCI 802.11 card and now it works OK. What is your soundcard? [00:02] toucansam-> and hard disk are typically divided up into 4 partitions, 3 primary and 1 logical (which you can extend to many more partitions) [00:03] SnakeArtworX: Sigmatel STAC9200 is what the ALSA thing says [00:03] toucansam-> logical is sometimes called extended partition [00:03] bod_: yeah -- it's just that the disk repairing utils in Linux/UNIX are that good with NTFS partitions yet [00:03] Master_Z: Amazing. You replied faster than I prepared the question:) [00:03] benanzo: Are you telling me that simply trying to change the permissions on a partition can corrupt the entire partition?! [00:03] how do i completely remove the Keyboard Accessability subsystem? [00:03] Logan428: I'm actually a little stuck on this [00:03] how do I get gcc working with ubuntu, i tried to compile a program and got these errors http://rafb.net/p/07mfA449.html [00:03] bod_, if you tried the 'System>Preferences>Keyboard' thing and it didn't work, you might as well run 'gnome-control-center'. [00:03] benanzo: I've given up by now, I'm just gonna format the disk [00:04] benanzo, cause ntfs is windows territory ,.,.lol,.,. i hate relying on windows for things,.,. wot exactly is the prob? [00:04] benanzo: I can probably get most of the important stuff back off the internets [00:04] so / -> 30gig swap -> 4gig(how many megabytes, 4048?) and /home -> ??? gigs [00:04] jo1 Im just guessing, but maybe you need to install build-essentials [00:04] ThipThip: it really depends on what happened, how clean the filesystem was to begin with and how old the disk is, but yes [00:04] !cube [00:04] Compiz-Fusion (and the older Compiz and Beryl) are window managers that employ the "composite" extension of X to draw windows using graphics cards' 3D hardware. They can additionally provide "desktop special effects" (such as the "cube") by means of plug-ins. Join #compiz-fusion for help and support with advanced features. See also « /msg ubotu compiz » and « /msg ubotu effects » [00:04] jo1: you installed only gcc? you should install build-essential, it brings in the generic headers [00:04] lgc, wot is this gnome-control-center,. ive never heard of it? [00:04] benanzo: Only things I'm losing are random bits of college work [00:04] toucansam: that seems like a swap that is too big [00:05] i have 2 gigs ram [00:05] Bye all [00:05] nickrud, when you do that it asks for the ubuntu cd which i don't have any more [00:05] bye [00:05] toucansam: then you only need 2g of swap [00:05] hi there [00:05] jo1: system->admin->software sources , enable the first four and disable the cdrom. You can get it from the net [00:05] oh ppl said twice size of my ram [00:05] toucansam: i have 2g of ram, and I NEVER use the swap, but maybe someday hibernation will work [00:05] toucansam-> / should be around 10 gig , then /home is 15gig plus [00:06] writing to an NTFS disk in Linux is still experimental [00:06] toucansam: thats an old maxim that worked for windows, its different on linux [00:06] i have a problem with ubuntu 7.10 on my lenovo thinkpad x60, inside eclipse, i have choppy sound and no keyboard responses. i'm developping a game in java using lwjgl/slick2d ... i tryed other distro, like zenwalk-linux (slackware based distro) and everything seems works. [00:06] is it dumb to have a dyndns hostname on the localhost line of a hosts file? [00:06] toucansam: about 2.3 or .4 meg, swap may need to be a bit more than ram for hibernate [00:06] Hi! Has anyone tried Unreal Tournament III in Ubuntu? (not with Wine) [00:06] danbhfive: you need a bit more if you want to use hibernate [00:06] bkar: so i'm installing the os on /, then all of my data and crap is going to /home? [00:06] toucansam-> correct [00:07] I'm trying to enable ssh by forwarding the port, I've changed the following setting on my Belkin router: Firewall | Virtual Servers, but it doesn't work [00:07] toucansam-> oh if you have pr0n, i forgot..hehe [00:07] keisangi: do you have java installed and using it for eclipse or gcj? since sometiems gcj can make programs act strange a tad [00:07] bod_ it's a more general preferences configuration tool. But I just checked that it'll take you to the keyboard settings application you end up through the menu route I just mentioned. However, that should suffice. [00:07] I'm running ubuntu with ssh server [00:07] SnakeArtworX: find anything? [00:07] kitche, i use sun-jre6 and sun-jdk-6 [00:07] toucansam - you dont need to worry too much about partition sizes - if you get it wrong initially you can adjust later with gparted [00:08] yes i have 490 gigs worth so that should work bkar [00:08] josspyker: how much more? [00:08] Master_Z: Sorry, but I couldn't help a the moment. Maybe someone will. Hope that You'll find the solution. I need to go now. Bye! [00:08] so do i really need a swap? [00:08] Does anyone have a Asus Xonar sound card working on ubuntu [00:08] keisangi: so you are really using sun-jre6 since the jdk doesn't matter for your problem since jdk includes the jre as well [00:08] um..bye. [00:08] can someone help me with my sound and wireless? [00:08] hey guys I need huge favor, http://digg.com/design/Creating_a_Crazy_Cool_Logo , if you have digg.. pleaseee digg this [00:08] <3 [00:08] lgc, the annoying thing is the @ and the | end up in the wrong place evertime i boot the machine,.,. i have to configure it everytime [00:08] kitche, yes [00:08] toucansam: It is simple reccomended [00:08] brak: i meant of pr0n [00:08] toucansam-> okay, you have plenty to play with, so have another partition for virtualbox or vmware to toy with other os'es set them to 50gigs each then [00:09] danbhfive: to be on the safe side 1 gig extra [00:09] Can I set up a static IP that only comes into effect when I'm on a certain wireless network? [00:09] toucansam - I only have 1G of Ram and I never swap - but still think having some swap is good idea [00:09] Cusoon959-> static for which interface? [00:09] Does anyone have a Asus Xonar sound card working? [00:10] ok so if i'm bout to install vista and have some heavy games on there, i'm probly gonna want around 200 gigs for that [00:10] kitche, any idea why sound is choppy (using a ogg sound file) and why i seems to have no keyboard response at all ? [00:10] ok thanks guys i gtg [00:10] toucansam: one last thing, install windows first [00:10] how do I update my ALSA? [00:10] keisangi: could be many reason would check the logs on your system myself just to see if there is any weird issues [00:10] Master_Z, why do you need too ? [00:10] why? [00:10] nickrud? [00:10] Master_Z: compile alsa but really you don't need to update alsa === boha__ is now known as b0ha [00:10] bkar: I have a wireless network at home. I want eth0 to have the IP 192.168.2.100 whenever I'm on the network 'veera', but nowhere else. [00:11] toucansam-> to make your life easier, install windows first [00:11] toucansam: So you can have GRUB [00:11] i don't have windows yet ha.. [00:11] Cusoon959: set up mac filtering is the only way really [00:11] kitche: Hmm? [00:11] i still need to buy the system builders one [00:11] toucansam: if you install windows after ubuntu, you will lose the ubuntu boot. If you do it the other way, both systems boot. Its fixable if you do windows first, but it's easier [00:11] Cusoon959-> is eth0 your wireless interface? [00:11] BlackDiamonds: someone on the forums said to. My Sigmatel STAC9200 sound card isnt outputting sound [00:11] toucansam: But you can always install grub after you install windows [00:11] bkar: Yep [00:11] then ask on the forums [00:11] toucansam: I mean, it's doable if you install windows second :) [00:11] because compiling alsa is not an easy task [00:11] well i dont have windows yet so i'm just bout to install ubuntu now [00:12] bod_, try and configure it with that utility. I know there's a command-line reconfigure tool, but I just can't remember its name. [00:12] There's probably a router setting I can change, bkar... like what kitche said [00:12] k cya guys [00:12] on the forums some one can give you proper instructions [00:12] Can some 1 help me with this im getting this error alot: Im running AWN And other Compiz-Fusion Needing things Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":1.0". [00:13] hi all! i have the following line in my fstab: /dev/sdb1 /home ext3 auto 0 0 . /dev/sdb1 is an external usb drive. i'd like it to be mounted to /home at boot time. the problem is that it doesn't mount automatically, even if i specify 'auto' as an option. any ideas why it doesn't mount automatically? [00:13] Cusoon959-> possibly on the router, and on your box, you may have to play around [00:13] lgc, how do i run that utility? [00:13] bkar: Okay [00:13] bod_, I already to [00:14] wow my downloads on add/remove are extremely slow tonight [00:14] Cusoon959: are you sure eth0 is the wireless interface [00:14] Cusoon959-> besides its just a matter of point and click to get a dhcp enabled versus static ip address [00:14] josspyker: Yes. I know it's odd, but it is. [00:14] Cusoon959: :) [00:14] Cusoon959: strange [00:14] LadyNikon: :) hello [00:14] its possible to have wireless nic name as eth0 [00:14] bod_, I already told you: Navigate through the System>Preferences menu, or type gnome-control-center. Probably 'dpkg-reconfigure keyboard' will do. [00:14] josspyker: Yeah..I thought so too xD [00:14] its not strange at all [00:15] bkar: why not? [00:15] bod_, gotta go. You're in good hands. [00:15] nothing in the configs that locks your wifi nic name to wlan0 or ath0 or xxx0 [00:16] lol, DD-WRT has the MACtoIP feature, but it can't be done with the normal firmware for my router [00:16] ;/ [00:16] bkar: ok [00:16] lgc, i dont no what this 'gnome-control-center' is or where to find iyt [00:17] lgc, its not in system--apps,.,. thats just the same thing ive been using [00:17] * ThipThip is now completely panicking over having tried to change permissions on an NTFS partition and now being completely unable to mount or view it. [00:17] Hey all, quick question: I have laptop volume controls that I'm pretty sure work like a multimedia keyboard.. how do I get it to control the PCM volume instead of Master? [00:17] oh yeah, I'm using KDE [00:18] I have a partition on a SATA drive - it's an NTFS partition. I tried to change the permissions for it by logging on as root and right-clicking it. Now I cannot retrieve any of the data. This partition contains all of the most important data of my life. Can someone help? [00:19] any volunteers who would like to help a bigginer in solving a problem with autostarting a simple program on logon? [00:19] ThipThip-> get hold of those ultimate boot cd for windows.. [00:19] !autostart [00:19] To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot [00:20] thipthip: try hitting Atl+F2 and type nautilus. explore for that partition and see if you can change permissions [00:20] bkar: Yeah? And do what with it? [00:20] Ed_, look at the ubotu message [00:20] ThipThip-> well trouble your problem? [00:20] does the live cd have java on it by any chance? can it be installed while the person is running it? [00:20] ThipThip-> well troubleshoot* your problem? [00:20] can anyone here help me with a regex problem? [00:21] I am trying to look in a file for a lines that don't contain "domain.org" [00:21] crwlr: I don't understand. First of all, I can't seem to open nautilus from the F2 terminal, and second, I don't know where to explore. [00:21] holycow yes it has gcj [00:21] its not a gnome program... I need to execute a command, for example, I'm starting the program with ./progname.exe in terminal window [00:21] bkar: thank you [00:21] so I put in cat file | grep -iv domain.org [00:21] bkar, crwlr: I tried booting with the Ubuntu Live CD, and the partition is still not recognized. [00:22] and that works, but I also need it to dispay lines that dont contain a certain IP before those lines [00:22] ThipThip-> umm i have not dealt with ntfs-3g ..so its a trial and error for me to assist you [00:22] ThipThip, if you do fdisk -l in terminal can you see it [00:22] thipthip: hrmm...my sata drives all work...go to add/remove and find the NTFS configuration tool. that let me mount mine but if ur install isn't even recognizing it...a bit tricky [00:22] so I put in cat file | grep -iv [^(domain.org)] but it complains about the parent [00:22] ThipThip-> you can not mount the partition at all with type ntfs-3g ? [00:23] parenthisis [00:23] Hey all, I've got a thread in the "Absolute Beginner's Forum" on ubuntuforums.org about my complete inability to establish a wired internet connection on my computer. If anyone could give me a hand with this either on the forums, or in here, I'd really, REALLY appreciate it. ( http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=664227 ) [00:23] er wait... I put in this rather: cat file | grep -iv [^(1.2.3.4)].*domain.org [00:23] i installed gfxboot from gutsy's official repositories but i don't know how to enable it ? [00:23] bkar: I don't know what "type ntfs-3g" means, but no, it does not seem to mount. It was mounted perfectly just a couple of hours ago. [00:23] Corndawg_-> no need for parenthesis, you're only seeking a line that has it ,print the rest otherwise [00:24] ThipThip-> file system type, ntfs-3g isnt it? [00:24] bkar> well I need to print lines that DONT have it but also DONT have a certain IP thats usually comming up before it [00:24] geekchicohio, do you have a router ? [00:24] does anyone know why the usb device which is defined as "/dev/sdb1 /home ext3 auto,hotplug,defaults 0 0" in my fstab doesn't mount automatically at boot, though the "auto" option is specified? [00:25] how would I do that in regex? [00:25] bkar:.... I know that it is NTFS... I don't know what 3g is. [00:25] No. Just the cable modem provided by my cable company/ISP [00:25] hi, is there any program to watch tv on the computer? something like winamp for windows? [00:25] Does anyone have a Asus Xonar sound card working???

[00:28] lol thanks [00:28] neverblue, using cable. [00:29] how do I register? [00:29] my nick [00:29] geekchicohio, did u do the install with the nic card in your system ? [00:29] bkar> k I will try that [00:29] neverblue, you mean the ethernet adapter? [00:30] geekchicohio, yes [00:30] bkar: I don't know what to do. I am so very worried. [00:30] neverblue, yes, it was already installed. [00:30] hey, my /dev/dsp does not work, but fixes upon reboot. [00:30] what serveice do I have to restart? [00:30] neverblue, after a couple weeks of fumbling with getting it to work, today I actually tried a new card, but continue with the exact same problem. [00:30] ThipThip-> okay lets try, do a sudo fdisk -l and pastebin the results [00:30] geekchicohio, so it went through the install with the card in your system, so it should have detected and install it correctly [00:30] hi, is there a straightforward way to get all wmv,quciktime,whatever to work standalone and in firefox? [00:31] geekchicohio, maybe its your network configuration [00:31] what sort of thing would I be looking for if I want a folder full of documents that can be edited but any changes are saved incrementaly pref simple to setup [00:31] yogurt: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=661833&highlight=install+bin+files [00:31] geekchicohio-> sometimes these cable modems locks your mac address it detects at install or at boot, so turn the cable modem off, wait a 1 minute then turn it back on, [00:31] thanks [00:31] yogurt: This should solve your problem [00:31] rsync agsimeonov [00:31] bkar: Here it is: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53398/ [00:31] neverblue, correct, and as far as I knew, it did.

[00:32] is there a way to mount a usb in virtual box..i have an external hard drive that shows up on ubuntu but not on virtual box windows any help please [00:32] geekchicohio, is that cable between the modem and the system bad, possibly ? [00:32] ThipThip-> sdb1 you are after? [00:32] bkar: You understand what I did right? A very stupid thing: I logged in as root and tried to change the permissions for the whole drive. What does this do? [00:32] neverblue, I'll have to leave and come back to do that. There's only one ethernet port on the modem and I'll have to unplug this computer to plug in the linux one. [00:32] bkar: Yes, sdb1. [00:32] Corndawg_-> sometimes an extra step is all it takes, :) [00:33] geekchicohio, how are you expecting to get them both online, at the same time then, if you dont mind me asking ? [00:33] hey, my /dev/dsp does not work. it happens intermittantly, but is fixed via reboot. [00:33] neverblue, nothing's bad. It's failing to work on the same cable that worked before. I've checked it. [00:33] hey, my /dev/dsp does not work. it happens intermittantly, but is fixed via reboot. what service must I restart?

[00:34] bkar: The device '/dev/sdb1' doesn't have a valid NTFS. [00:34] geekchicohio, did you happen to pull the NIC out of the Windows box and put it into your Ubuntu system ? [00:34] bkar: I know. [00:34] bkar: I think I messed it up with the permissions thing. I don't really understand what that does. [00:35] bkar: and it is bussy [00:35] REGISTER 3733415 [00:35] neverblue, no. It was used successfully in a previous install of Linux. [00:35] ThipThip-> you could have yeah..but hang on let me think [00:35] hi...

[00:40] ffm you have to do some leg work, i cant remember all the verbage on that man page [00:41] cube_: probably nvidia-settings (if it's an invidia) [00:41] cube_: I have a nvidia fx5200 I only use the s-video TV out .it just works out the box if cable plugged in to graphic card when PC powered on, that all I can say that might hel you [00:42] is anyone familiar with the "icall" service/program? (it's *basically* free skype) anyways i was wondering if there were any linux clients, because there's no official one as of now [00:42] yeah mine doesn't do it automatic [00:42] * ThipThip very stupidly tried to modify the permissions on an NTFS partition by logging in as root and right-clicking. Now the data on the partition is unaccessible. Please help avert the stroke that will occur if this data is not recovered. [00:43] cube_: I dont use a reguler monitor, just TV, is only the s-video out connected or both? [00:43] bkar: oh well then. [00:43] bkar> quick regex question for you: even though it works, why doesn't the parenthisis work in grep?

[00:45] oss or alsa take your pick [00:45] well i have 2 graphics cards in there right now and if i plug the one with only s-video in and nothing else it doesn't work and even without the cards SLI in xorg [00:46] jetscreamer: what is it's block device? [00:46] and for some reason i can't find nvidia-settings after i installed it through synaptic [00:46] bkar: Is there any sense in trying to convert this partition to vfat or FAT32? [00:46] jetscreamer: VMware hates /dev/dsp [00:47] isnt that nvidia-setting-mamnger or sumat in terminal [00:47] i thought it had gui [00:47] ThipThip-> i would not convert anything if I were you.. [00:48] ThipThip-> you can not mount this sdb1 at all? [00:48] bkar: Apparently not. [00:48] bkar: any other /dev I can use other than dsp for sound? [00:48] can anyone offer some technical advice with python? [00:48] bkar: I must get this data back. I'm loosing my mind right now. [00:48] cube_: I find sometimes the nvida setting manager doesnt appear in my menu after 1 of many installs [00:49] tatter so what should i do to access it? [00:49] ThipThip-> hang for a few..lets see what googles turns up [00:49] ThipThip: you're data is still there [00:49] I have just edited my x conf file and now I dont have any titlebars at the top of my windows, anyone know whats wrong?

Even booting with the ubuntu liveCD won't mount the disk. [00:50] helix_: 'uname -r' [00:50] ThipThip-> if I were you, for now, if you have another drive, dd (disk dump) that sdb1 to save a copy [00:50] anyone offer python support? [00:50] bkar: I do not have another drive even anywhere close enough to dump. [00:51] bkar: in terms of size. [00:51] ThipThip: oops, filesystem corrupt?

[00:51] you first need to register your nick with nickserv and then to identify to it when you connect snookie [00:51] * ThipThip is trying to approach his problem with reason and a calm, rational head despite having altered the permissions on an NTFS permission and now being unable to mount it. [00:52] bkar: What do you mean "just that sdb1"? [00:52] try /msg nickserv help [00:52] josspyker: I don't know. Would it corrupt a file system for me to have done what I did? (Log in as root and try to change permissions on an NTFS partition) [00:52] okay thanks [00:52] ThipThip-> that sdb1 is the only want you are interested in right? so you can dump that specific partition and not the entire hard disk [00:52] hola [00:53] hello [00:53] bkar: The sdb1 partition is enormous - much too big to dump onto anything that I own.

[00:53] hello every body here [00:53] estoy media perdida, sobre que es este chat? [00:53] hello [00:53] ThipThip-> you dont need to dump it all at once, you can slice it into manageable chunks like bs=8192 count=1000 at a time [00:53] ThipThip: don't think so I assume sbd1 is a usb disk [00:53] bkar, josspyker: I am downloading ultimate boot CD.

I'm guessing I already had them. [01:27] scguy318: already latest version. Intel GMA x3100 [01:27] Duke _fluke nah [01:27] kestir, it may be getting defined in another script its calling. [01:27] johnathon: No, but I just spent the last almost 2 hours thinking that every piece of data I treasure in the world could be gone. [01:27] matkix: build-essentials too I think [01:27] I just need to modify the e-mail header [01:27] matkix: since VMware will attempt to compile kernel modules [01:27] Dr_willis: hmm, how can I find this out? [01:27] matkix: *installer [01:28] ThipThip, why? wots the prob? [01:28] ThipThip why is that [01:28] scguy318: I already did that too. Do you want to see the error I get? [01:28] matkix: sure [01:28] my e-mail headers are displaying the wrong DNS info. [01:28] matkix: if its long pastebin it [01:28] scguy318: that worked, thank you so much! [01:28] scguy318: "WARNING: could not find /tmp/vmware-config0/vmnet-only/.smac_linux.x86_64.o.cmd for /tmp/vmware-config0/vmnet-only/smac_linux.x86_64.o" [01:28] bod, Johnanthon: Well, I did something very, very - and I mean somewhat but very - dumb. I logged in as root and tried to change permissions on an NTFS partition, corrupting the boot sector. [01:29] any of you know, on the top of the head, if Visual Studio works under Wine in Ubuntu ? [01:29] ThipThip: download sytemrescuecd,it has nfts support, the data should still be there [01:29] What is the best way to recieve insight and support from other Ubuntu users in the channel? [01:29] !kde [01:29] KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu. To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop », or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE . Latest KDE version is 3.5.8 for Gutsy and Feisty, 3.5.6 for Edgy, and 3.5.5 for Dapper. See http://kubuntu.org for more information. [01:29] ThipThip, ur using an ntfs,. i assume u have a windows machine? [01:29] scguy318 [01:29] bod_, johnathon, josspyker: However, I just booted with the UBCD and restored the backup boot sector, and praise the heavens my drive is mounted once again [01:29] ThipThip-> that ultimate boot cd didnt help? [01:29] ThipThip download Diamond CD it has a live cd on it that can un do what u did [01:29] kestir, start looking in etc I guess. :) i just did a grep path * in /etc/ and got a lot of hits.. but none i think are the initial path settings [01:29] bkar: It did - I am mounted! [01:29] ThipThip, oh,.,.kk,.,.cool [01:30] Dr_willis: can I just 'echo $PATH' [01:30] errr [01:30] ThipThip-> okay its mounted, can you cat the data? edit? [01:30] bod_, johnathon, josspyker, bkar: I would like to know if any other data was corrupted, however. What's the Ubuntu equivalent of chkdsk? [01:30] LetsGo67: yes? [01:30] scguy318: Is there a way to just have apt do the install, so I know it won't get fucked up by me? [01:30] ThipThip: good news,next time make backups next time [01:30] Dr_willis: can I just 'echo $PATH'...copy that info into my .bashrc and then add what I'm trying to add? [01:30] and not bother finding where else it's being defined? [01:31] Anybody else available who might know why mount cifs is hanging when I use a credentials file? [01:31] ThipThip-> pull out your reliable tape backup and make backup now, I command you..heh [01:31] bod_, johnathon, josspyker, bkar: Also, I really want to thank josspyker and bkar for your help. I would probably be keeled over seriously having a heart attack right now. Also also - now that I have learned the hard way, what is the proper way to make an NTFS partition become owned by a user instead of root? [01:31] matkix: not really, VMware isn't packaged I believe [01:31] kestir, of course you could. [01:31] Dr_willis: ok great [01:31] kestir, depends on what you want to do with the path. [01:31] ThipThip, i think something like fsck [01:31] Does anyone have any experience with Postfix and reverse DNS problems? [01:31] Ijust append the /home/USER/bin dir to mine [01:32] bkar: My next mission is going to be isolating exactly which data is absolutely essential and backing up onto DVD [01:32] Dr_willis: I just want to add a directory in my home directory [01:32] Dr_willis: that I have scripts in [01:32] Can someone else using the latest version of xchat try "cutting" text in the input box (note, for me, its causing xchat to crash....) [01:32] scguy318, those headers are already there, no DRI. [01:32] Does anyone have any experience with Postfix and reverse DNS problems? [01:32] LetsGo67: the Linux headers thing wasn't addressed to you I don't think, pastebin your xorg.conf [01:32] kestir, thats trivial :) export $PATH=PATH:/New/dir/to/add [01:32] Hello. I need to load firmware for my linksys WPC54G card into ndiswrapper; anyone know how to do this? [01:33] direct rendering: No (If you want to find out why, try setting LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose) [01:33] ThipThip again try Diamond boot cd and boot up the Windows XT Mini PE it has software for configuring NTFS formats and ownership [01:33] kestir, http://www.hackosis.com/index.php/2008/01/14/linux-save-time-by-adding-directories-to-path/ [01:33] ThipThip: use the correct ntfs-g3 drivers,and backup the drive before you start messing around [01:33] hey does anyone know a good easy way to run a virtual cd drive [01:33] LetsGo67: pastebin /etc/X11/xorg.conf, maybe you're not using the intel Xorg driver for some reason [01:33] i tried cd emu but i done know how it works [01:33] poomonkey yes use deamon tools [01:33] josspyker: What do you mean teh correct ntfs-g3 drivers? What are these and where do I get them? [01:34] Hi i had linux installed and I am trying to dual boot so I backed up my information and deleted my partitions. When I tried to install Vista again from my hard disk I get a Grub Error. What can I do? [01:34] johnathon: doesn't work on Linux though :) [01:34] tyronep: which error number is it? [01:34] !ntfs-3g | ThipThip [01:34] ThipThip: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [01:34] how would i do that man sorry im really new to linux but i really want to learn [01:34] scguy318 good point [01:34] hello, I need help dual booting Win XP + Ubuntu 7.10 [01:34] Starnestommy, I am not sure it just says Grub error [01:34] poomonkey: fuseiso might be good, see the man page for it [01:34] how can I undo/unintall "sudo apt-get install build-essential" im just goin to go with onboard sun [01:35] scguy318 im still gettin used linux i switched to ubuntu yesterday [01:35] PKdoR: don't need to, why? [01:35] tyronep: but it doesn't have a number with it? [01:35] http://pastebin.ca/871604 [01:35] Starnestommy, Maybe I am not sure [01:35] Dr_willis: is it PATH=$PATH: or $PATH=PATH [01:35] http://pastebin.ca/871604 Scguy318 [01:36] scguy318, josspyker: Indeed I have already installed ntfs-config, but I am still unable to read / write except as root. I suspect I need to edit fstab? [01:36] ThipThip: give me a minute, i will put in on pastebin [01:36] I was about to try o reinstall X-Fi on 64bit Ubuntu but I just decided scince im bough i for gaming and I do All my Gaming on Winblows I'll just use on board for Linux [01:36] I am having an issue. After installing XP, I cannot access the grub bootloader.. I need the OS path for Ubuntu. I have enabled EXT2 support in windows, so I just need the line to punch in to the windows bootloader. [01:36] PATH=$PATH You are setting a variable to the 'contents of the variable' + extras :) [01:36] ThipThip: probably, though all files should have permission 777 unless you're missing something, maybe umask=000? [01:36] kestir, some neat alias's here http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/stable/postlfs/profile.html [01:36] scguy318: couse I installed it and I want io uninstall it [01:37] scguy318: What is umask? How does it compare or contrast from chmod? [01:37] PKdoR: find its dependencies and remove it, but no need [01:37] ThipThip: umask is a fstab mount option, while chmod is a Unix command [01:37] I am having an issue. After installing XP, I cannot access the grub bootloader.. I need the OS path for Ubuntu. I have enabled EXT2 support in windows, so I just need the line to punch in to the windows bootloader. [01:37] Can someone tell me what message is coming up when my client is exitting/crashing? [01:37] ThipThip: usually you would need it when mounting a FAT partition [01:37] Dr_willis: ah...nice [01:37] can anybody tell me how to check that laptop ram memory is extendible or not ? [01:38] http://pastebin.ca/871604 Scguy318 it's a pastebin. [01:38] scguy318: I see. While we're on the subject, is FAT more sustainable than NTFS? Is there a compelling reason not to use NTFS? I feel like it's shaky to the rafters after this experience. [01:38] I am having an issue. After installing XP, I cannot access the grub bootloader.. I need the OS path for Ubuntu. I have enabled EXT2 support in windows, so I just need the line to punch in to the windows bootloader. [01:38] fists_0f_furries: I don't think windows xp's bootloader can load ubuntu. If it did, you'd need to load the kernel and the initrd into memory from /boot [01:38] Oh. [01:38] hi [01:39] Well then how do I get to grub? : [01:39] Hello. I need to load firmware for my linksys WPC54G card into ndiswrapper; anyone know how to do this? [01:39] ThipThip from my experience NTFS is more secure [01:39] l00kp: find a WIndows driver and load it [01:39] anyone uses ubuntu together with a GPU G92 from nvidia ? [01:39] ThipThip: NTFS is journaled, FAT is prone to cross-linking etc. [01:39] http://pastebin.ca/871604 Scguy318 it's a pastebin. [01:39] ThipThip: but the up side of FAT is that everyone can read it [01:40] LetsGo67: I see [01:40] scguy318: I did load a windows driver with #ndiswrapper -i but it didn't load the firmware [01:40] scguy318: I see. And how does ext3 compare? [01:40] is there any option to set up GPU fan speed in Ubuntu ? [01:40] ThipThip: a lot better [01:40] when is vmware-server going to be available for the 2.6.22-14 kernel? [01:41] l00kp: you've written it backwards [01:41] scguy318: Well then is there a compelling reason not to switch to ext3? [01:41] ThipThip: not everyone can read it [01:41] scguy318: rubbish [01:41] ThipThip: Windows can't unless you install a third-party ext2 driver [01:41] /join [01:41] #kubuntu [01:41] josspyker: Are you still working on that fstab to paste to pastebin? If so, bless you. :-) [01:42] fists_0f_furries yes,you can get grub by using livecd or repair boot. [01:42] vox: explain [01:42] the windows ext2 driver wouldn't install on my vista ... [01:42] hey can some1 help be with ubuntu installation...iam stuk on partition disks [01:42] LetsGo67: pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log [01:42] josspyker: If not, I might be able to figure it out with a little research and some assistance from the others in the channel. [01:42] hi [01:42] ThipThip: I was trying to make it easy fr you [01:42] Thi [01:42] josspyer: Right on - thank you. [01:43] is any advanced user here who knows how to work with SMTP Servers? [01:43] hey can some1 help be with ubuntu installation...iam stuk on partition disk?????? [01:43] Dr_willis: Ok, I made a small script, put it in a directory, added that directory to my $PATH and then typed the name of that script. Said not found. [01:43] kestir, start a new shell [01:43] ThipThip: install drivers edit sources.lst and fstab and of you go [01:43] Romina, whats your question? [01:43] hellp can some1 help me out here??? [01:43] Dr_willis: Do I need to give that script an alias and execute the alias? [01:43] oh [01:44] Malik_: whats the problem? [01:44] iam stuk on the installtion [01:44] i can't get past partition disks [01:44] xemacs: I named it fortune.sh [01:44] xemacs: does it need to be named fortune [01:44] josspyker: I installed ntfs-config. Would adding umask=000 to the fstab line help? What does "user" do in this context? Is fstab used to define ownership? [01:44] Malik_: do you know how partitioning works? or is the partitioner broken? [01:44] how do i install ubuntu on my partion d? [01:44] Duke_Fluke, a special script requires an SMTP Server with no SSL Auth ... just plain as I understand it. A local MTA is recommended. [01:44] then to run it type "fortune.sh" [01:45] ThipThip: yep [01:45] i hav windows on this computer rite now [01:45] and windows is on partion c [01:45] danbhfive what is he partitioning for? [01:45] and i made a partion d for this [01:45] its 15gb [01:45] Romina, ok sounds like maybe you want postfix or sendmail [01:45] Duke_Fluke, since I need to send emails to many people using email addresses of public providers (like hotmail, gmail and so on) my private IP would cause my emails go directly to the SMAP folder [01:45] Malik_: ok, how much ram do you have? [01:45] 512mb [01:45] do people ever wait for me? [01:46] Duke_Fluke, so my question is: [01:46] is any one available to help me with fuse iso [01:46] kestir, check Your $PATH and be sure its set right. and the scripts do need tobe executable [01:46] Malik_: ok, then you need to make another partition === ubuntu is now known as blayde [01:46] i idid [01:46] partiton d [01:46] poomonkey [01:46] for this linux [01:46] i cant figure out how to open it i installed it from synaptic but cant find it [01:46] kestir, if you make a bin dir and put your scripts in there. I think the system auto adds bin if its found [01:46] how can I get a local MTA to NOT ask for SSL Auth, BUT(!) the local MTA *must* connect to GMAIL's SMTP Server and Auth itself with SSL and send it through GMAIL [01:46] ThipThip: sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g,check sources.lst,but backup the drive before [01:46] johnathon i sent you a pvm can you get on and help me please [01:46] poomonkey do u have a cd burner? [01:46] yea [01:46] Duke_Fluke, and if my english would be better, maybe you would understand me better *g* [01:47] Malik_: ok, now you should make another partition for swap, I'd say 1gig in size [01:47] Duke_Fluke, once more the last message? [01:47] poomonkey i neverused a pvm [01:47] swap [01:47] wats swap? [01:47] ok brb gotta piss i appreciate your help [01:47] ThipThip: google for it [01:47] !swap [01:47] swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [01:47] Duke_Fluke, PHP Script sends to local MTA -> [work finished for the PHP Script] -> Local MTA connects to GMAIL SMTP using SSL and username/password -> GMAIL's SMTP *really* sends the email [01:47] Romina, no thats ok....what are you using for a MTA? [01:47] when i try to inatll ubuntu on my pation d it says no rrot files sytem is defined???????????????????????

[01:48] Romina, this is a very advanced question...way over my head I recommend checking out #postfix they should be able to help you out sorry [01:48] Duke_Fluke, please excuse my english, I really do my best but describing such stuff in a foreign language can cause some problems [01:48] !help [01:48] I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot.

But if you would like to just go ahead without swap, there is no harm in trying that. [01:55] does people wait for me? [01:55] danbdfive: wats swap? [01:55] its your virtual memory partition [01:55] Romina: http://www.postfix.org/SOHO_README.html [01:55] Malik_: its probably something like right clicking, and selecting properties or something [01:55] poomonkey do u want to make a copy of the cd or do you have to download the iso?

There are some programs that can make use of more memory if you had it [01:57] Malik_: well, I would make another partition, about 1gig in size, and set it to swap [01:57] my ipod is full of music and i know i can do that but i dont want to have to cary around my starcraft cd so i wanted to rip it so i dont have to [01:57] poomonkey use a cd burning software and save the iso to ur hdd then when u need a copy burn the iso to a thumb drive or simply install the game on the hdd and find a nocd crack [01:57] poomonkey, are you using wine to play starcraft? [01:58] yes [01:58] poomonkey: why cant you rip it? [01:58] poomonkey, you have the .iso on your hard drive?

[01:58] i can rip it i just havent tried yet and i dont know where to look for for a no cd crack [01:58] poomonkey google it [01:58] Malik_: if you are using the ubuntu cd, no, you should be able to do it all in the installer [01:58] i allready have it installed and playable [01:58] try: multiplayercheats [01:58] ok i just didnt think about it i didnt know that would work in wine [01:59] how i set emerald as default wm on kde? [01:59] poomonkey, i have done the same and wrote a little script to mount the iso [01:59] danbhfive:yes iam using the ubuntu cd ....but i can't see where i go to do that [01:59] poomonkey, and made a virtual drive in wine that the game can see [01:59] will somebody see this..I tried to do apt-get install mysql-server Setting up mysql-client-5.0 http://pastebin.com/d6feba310 [01:59] i have a quick question: [01:59] !iso > poomonkey [01:59] I have got the ubuntu installed, and ready for me to restart the computer, once i do, if there is any problems is there anyway I can reverse the install? [01:59] and if there is any problems with my wireless card on my laptop, is there anyway to fix it so that it will work with ubuntu? [01:59] local drive, needs password to view, how do i disable? [01:59] poomonkey i gonna turn u over to blayde he seems more experienced than i am [02:00] how do i enable "Desktop Effects" for ubuntu? [02:00] Malik_: I think you have to resize your ubuntu partition to make room for the swap partition, then use the empty space to create the swap partition [02:00] ClayBB: reverse the install? not sure what you mean; as far as getting wireless going perhaps someone here will help out [02:00] Hey I'm trying to install Ubuntu 7.10 server on a T40, but I get the following error on start up PANIC: CPU too old for this kernel.

[02:02] how do i enable Desktop Effects for ubuntu? [02:02] !info Desktop Effects [02:02] Package desktop does not exist in gutsy [02:02] anyone have any idea how to work around that problem or even what the problem would mean? PANIC: CPU too old for this kernel.

[02:02] !ccsm > ubuntuo [02:02] i have compiz installed [02:03] [22:01] like, if i don't like it, is there a way to uninstall it and use my windows XP again?...........format the linux partition and reboot the pc...put a windows cd into your pc and select rescue mode and write (fixmbr) and (fixboot) [02:03] My ubuntu server just crashed, and now it's "rebuilding" the software raid1... shouldn't i be able to access the data while it's rebooting? [02:03] the drives appear to be zero'd out?!?! [02:03] danbhfive: i really want to discover, examin, and explore linux [02:03] Malik_: take a look at this site: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot [02:03] nickrud, bazhang: what about AWN? [02:04] ubuntuo: it's not in ubuntu, you'd have to install it from a 3d party repo [02:04] Malik_: I understand what you are saying, but its very hard for me to help you, since I'm not sitting at your computer, one sec [02:05] ok thanks nickrud. Is it easy to install? [02:05] what's the way to partition my hard drive so that i can have XP and Linux on there at the same time, and I can choose which to boot with? [02:05] oh my.. i have 1 array setup, but linux has setup md0 and md1... md0 it's rebuilding (wth?) and md1 i can see my files [02:05] ClayBB, thats how its normally done. [02:05] ClayBB, windows on first partition, linux after that [02:06] so it should automatically do it? [02:06] ubuntuo: you would add the repo to your sources.list , and the just apt-get install it. Me, I don't use 3d party repos unless I know the provider very well [02:06] nickrud: I edited my "avdanced desktop effects" but i dont see any changes... is it enabled? [02:06] Some body speack portuguese here ? I needed help :( [02:06] ClayBB, the installer can resize the windows partition and isntall linux in the free space [02:06] Malik_: go to the section on resizing partitions, see if that helps [02:06] !pt [02:06] danbhfive"alrite [02:06] ubuntuo: did it accept the change? do the menus and windows have shadows? [02:06] Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [02:07] no they don't I dont think it accepted the change [02:07] i clicked the "box" to enable the effects.... but nothing happend [02:07] tks ;) [02:07] dr_willis: so is that done automatically, or do i have to do that myself? because I don't think I was given an option of doing that [02:07] ubuntuo: what kind of video card do you have, precisely? lspci | grep -i vga in a terminal will tell you [02:08] nickrud: not sure, but i once had it installed 1 week ago [02:08] and it was working [02:08] i dont think i properly installed it. I got it from my Synaptic Package Manager. [02:08] ClayBB, i always do it manually with a gparted live cd. Because i want to 'controll' it. Vista can resize ntfs partitions also if you have it. [02:08] It says its "Installed" [02:08] ubuntuo: gotta start somewhere, what video chip/card? [02:08] ok [02:09] I am trying to setup my Belkin F5d9230-4 router to work with my default Comcast modem, but the CD only works with Windows and Mac. I attempted to run it with Wine, but came to no avail. Could anyone give me a hand?

How do I setup GStreamer plugins? I installed ALSA modules correctly, trying all the methods i got for vostro 1500, but I still get no sound and no devices to choose from in sound admin panel....... [02:11] !blacklist [02:11] ubuntuo: system->admin->restricted manager , do you have the nvidia restricted driver enabled? [02:11] 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 » [02:11] nickrud: yes it is enabled and in use [02:11] ubuntuo: but be forewarned, I'm not particularly knowledgeable about nvidia cards, I can only mention some obvious stuff [02:12] ubuntuo: in a terminal, glxinfo | grep direct , does it say yes? [02:12] (tests) [02:12] nickrud: direct rendering: Yes [02:12] http://pastebin.ca/871609 Scguy318 [02:12] ubuntuo: then , alt-f2 compiz --replace [02:13] does gparted work?

[02:13] alixthedark: ive played it [02:14] ubuntuo: should have compiz running. install compizconfig-settings-manager and have some fun [02:14] how do you add tiers to it [02:14] <[M]orpheus> I can't find the menu bindkeys shortcuts, under System/Preferences, isnt there, why? How do I install it? [02:14] can i get compizconfig-settings-manager from the package manager? [02:14] ubuntuo: yes. [02:14] geforce2 needs Xgl for compiz [02:14] thanks a lot :) [02:15] alixthedark: dont even know what tiers are, I could never get it fully working. only deathmatch worked for me [02:15] void^: it does? Thanks. ubuntuo install xserver-xgl and log out and back in, along with installing the compizconfig-settings-manager [02:15] http://pastebin.ca/871609 Scguy318 [02:15] ok [02:15] thanks aniway dan [02:15] I'm having some boot-up trouble - it tells me that I need to run fsck manually, and when I try, it always tells me that my hard drive's location won't work - now, I'm not exactly sure what it is, but I've tried all the typical stuff (such as /dev/sda1/) - is there any way for me to find out exactly what it is? [02:16] void^: thought only the ati's needed xserver-xgl. Like I said earlier, I'm not really up on nvidia only reasonably good with ati [02:16] yes compiz-config-settings-manager is already installed [02:16] http://pastebin.ca/871609 Scguy318 [02:16] xserver is not installed yet nickrud [02:16] nickrud: nvidia's legacy driver doesn't support aiglx [02:16] Nin10dude: did you try running it with no args at all? [02:16] void^: guess I'll have to learn the numbers of the driver releases and read some notes :) [02:16] nickrud: do i need xserver for deskstop effects to work? [02:17] Anyone can help me get direct rendering on an Intel GMA X3100 please? [02:17] ubuntuo: xserver-xgl yes. void^ 's been around the block [02:17] can someone help me with open arena?

The ones I've tried are sooooo slowww [02:17] <|chiz|> I'm buring music cd's from mp3s [02:17] can some1 help me out here [02:17] Yessss my sounds now works, finally my perfect installation =D [02:17] |chiz|, could be the burner is not being told to burn as fast as it can. [02:17] thanks for the help nickrud. Going to restart and see if it works [02:17] hi guys [02:18] can some1 help me out with the install of this? [02:18] ubuntuo: just log out and back in, no restart needed [02:18] <|chiz|> Dr_willis: its not that its the preprocessing that is going on, the actual burn process is fine [02:18] ok [02:18] btw nickrud. This is offtopic, but what is your !uptime [02:18] |chiz|, how fast a system you got then? [02:18] Malik_: are you there? I got the partitioner started, I may be able to help you better [02:18] ubuntuo: a few hours [02:19] oh okay [02:19] <|chiz|> Dr_willis: 1.7 Core Duo [02:19] i hav to ask u sometin els [02:19] i reastred the installtion [02:19] http://pastebin.ca/871609 Scguy318 [02:19] ubuntuo: let me know if it works fine, nearly dinner time here [02:19] Malik_: can we talk in pm? [02:19] sure [02:19] |chiz|, You may want to try some other apps.. but most all use the same backend tools to do the various conversions. [02:20] <|chiz|> Dr_willis: Yeah that is what I'm thinking, I was just wondering if anyone has run into the same issue when burning music cds from mp3s [02:20] <[M]orpheus> I can't find the menu bindkeys shortcuts, under System/Preferences, isnt there, why? How do I install it? [02:20] I just thought I'd stop in and tell everybody I love my OS. :) [02:22] even after turning of the option to remember what windows i had open in the sessions manager, ubuntu reloads the session at which i turned of the option [02:22] hey all [02:22] hey all.. wich is the best brand of video card for linux ?

[02:26] ScGuy318, do I add a # in front of that line? Thanks for your help so far, man. [02:26] I think I am having problems with the driver for my Graphics card [02:26] void^: ah, cool [02:26] von_Tros: no [02:27] !lamp | limp [02:27] so i did an aptitude reinstall firefox, and when i run firefox from the terminal it doesn't put anything out [02:27] LetsGo67: that's a line from the log file that shows the issue [02:27] it just goes to the nextline, and firefox is nowhere [02:27] I cant get any applications that require a 3d accelerator to work just says i dont have the correct pixle shaders, but I have a ATI radion 9800 xt card [02:27] hey folks!... trying to install Slimdoc, but is comeing up with a Dependency issue.. looking for libwnck18.. but libwnck22 is installed.. how can i fix this issue [02:27] and I dont think I have my drivers installed or configured correctly can some one help me [02:27] LetsGo67: the little # is from the pastebin I thinkz [02:28] !info slimdoc [02:28] Package slimdoc does not exist in gutsy [02:28] scguy318, gotcha. [02:28] Ty for that , how can i get around this? [02:28] LetsGo67: what does ls -l /usr/lib/dri/i965_dri.so say? [02:29] should be a one-liner [02:29] the only way i can get firefox or opera to run is if i run them as root [02:29] ! [02:29] can I burn a cd from the live session? [02:29] void^, what does it do? I have problem with boot. Bootcharts show me readahead-list which have 75s :( [02:29] can some1 help me wit the installtion of ubuntu version 7 [02:29] tyronep, how many drives do you have? [02:29] melanie what are the results of ls -l `which firefox` [02:29] no, be cause you need a cd in [02:29] melanie: hey there, that sounds like a permissions problem [02:29] How do I get Kubuntu installed WITHOUT Compiz? [02:29] with what cd drive tyronep? [02:29] stunatra: just install [02:29] melanie: sudo chown user:user ~ [02:29] hey nickrud: it didnt work..... [02:30] only one cd drive [02:30] stunatra, kubuntu does not include compiz [02:30] stunatra: huh? compiz is not a kubuntu requirement [02:30] stunatra, ubuntu does. [02:30] von_Tros: readahead is supposed to load a number of files into the cache to speed things up later on [02:30] Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed. [02:30] oops [02:30] 1 sec [02:30] melanie, only oone cd drive [02:30] melanie: user should be your user, I think that command should work [02:30] 0 /usr/bin/firefox [02:30] where would the best place to get nfs4 support from be? [02:30] * regeya looks at his kubuntu install...nope, no compiz requirement [02:30] danbhfive, i'll try that [02:30] errr I meant Ubuntu. [02:30] tyronep, i don't think so [02:30] is there a way to have Simdoc on gusty? or even a Stable Doc platform?? [02:30] scguy318: apparently don't have that file, could that be the problem? [02:30] who know configure aticonfig ? i want set display monitor and tv . [02:30] ok thanks guys. [02:30] bazhang, with the same one [02:30] oh, heh, wow, ubuntu REQUIRES compiz now? [02:30] void^, do you have idea, where is a problem? [02:31] !find /usr/bin/find [02:31] regeya: no [02:31] regeya, Compiz comes with Ubuntu by default now. [02:31] File /usr/bin/find found in findutils [02:31] LetsGo67: that must be it, lemme see how to rectify [02:31] tyronep: where will you put the livecd during this burn? [02:31] danbhfive, it was a permissions issue... wth?!? i don't know. thanks tho [02:31] could some1 help me out? [02:31] melanie: it just sets you as the owner to everything in your home directory, which is as it should be, I think ls -al will show you if there are any problems [02:31] bruenig: that finds a file in any package? [02:31] can't get wusb11 v2.8 to work with 7.10. seems to see the network but won't actually connect [02:31] damnit [02:31] bazhang, that's what i am trying to figure out [02:31] scguy318, thanks man. [02:31] anyone know anything about the ALC888 sound driver for linux? [02:31] hello....??? [02:31] now i can't write to my home directory? [02:31] scguy318, supposed to [02:31] what should the permissions of ~ be? [02:31] bruenig: cool [02:32] !info apt-file | scguy318 this is what it is using [02:32] scguy318 this is what it is using: apt-file (source: apt-file): APT package searching utility -- command-line interface. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.0.8.2ubuntu2 (gutsy), package size 13 kB, installed size 100 kB [02:32] melanie: you should own it [02:32] Hey I know this isn't the #fluxbuntu channel but does anyone know how to setup a wireless card on fluxbuntu, my card is a NetGear WG511T. There isn't anyone around in the fluxbuntu channel so I'm asking here... [02:32] tyronep: that was a rhetorical question; you might try using a pendrive to boot [02:32] melanie, check the permissions of /home/USERNAME (with ls -l /home/username) [02:32] danbhfive, no i mean like 777 0666 or what [02:32] oops i mean ls -l /home [02:32] :) [02:32] Dr_willis, what should i see? [02:32] von_Tros: i'm not too familiar with it.. you can use '/etc/init.d/readahead start' to reproduce it in the running system, perhaps take a glance at /etc/readahead/ .. [02:32] drwxr-xr-x 84 willis willis 4096 2008-01-24 07:26 willis [02:32] bruenig: I see [02:32] are mine. [02:33] bruenig: thanks [02:33] drwxr-xr-x 40 melanie melanie [02:33] how can i eject a cd from the terminal? [02:33] melanie: I dunno, it varies for me [02:33] not a permission isue there then it seems melanie [02:33] tyronep, eject cdrom [02:33] tyronep: then you will have no live session [02:33] melanie, see if the root user can make a file in /home/menanie [02:33] Dr_willis, well when i chown'd my ~ firefox now runs w/o root privelges [02:33] void^, thx [02:34] now it's asking me to create a profile, and when it tries it says i don't have permissions [02:34] i'm wondering what i need to chmod my ~ to [02:34] tyronep, is it working? [02:34] LetsGo67: sudo aptitude install libgl1-mesa-dri [02:34] hey what would u guys recomend for antivirus on ubuntu? [02:34] melanie, somthingdid not make since there. :) firefox shouldent be running as root anyway.. and your ownership is proper. [02:34] Yes it is!! [02:34] melanie: that was the wrong command, im sorry [02:34] !antivirus | johnathon [02:34] johnathon: antivirus is something you don't really need on Linux, unless you serve windows clients. ClamAV and aegis are decent linux virusscanners. Also see !linuxvirus [02:34] melanie: ls -al .mozilla/ try that [02:34] Dr_willis, i know it shouldn't, but that was the only way it would run until i chown'd my dir [02:34] tyronep, then.... eject -t cdrom (for closing it) [02:34] melanie, if you chowned stuff IN ~ thats the same as chowning stuff in your home dir. NOT the /home/username dir [02:34] scguy318, how do you figure all of that out? ;) [02:35] LetsGo67: google and the apt-file tool that bruenig pointed me to [02:35] well the perms of that dir i mean. :) [02:35] hrm [02:35] i'm confused [02:35] i just want firefox to work [02:35] thanx scguy318 [02:35] hi I don't have chroot - becuase I can't run chroot command what I have to do ? [02:35] ~ is just an alias to /home/whatever [02:35] Dr_willis, i know that [02:35] melanie, you may have some goofed up files in .mozilla try renaming that dir. [02:35] Bruenig, as in the guy who told me to sudo rm -r * ? [02:36] LetsGo67, probably [02:36] melanie: the command I gave you just chowned the /home directory, I meant to chown everything in it too, I forgot a -R [02:36] Dr_willis, i rm'd that dir [02:36] melanie, as a test you could make a new user - see if firefox works for them [02:36] Do I need to Ctrl+Alt+Backspace? [02:36] LetsGo67, I still read that chat log from time to time when I need something to make me laugh [02:36] Dr_willis, i can guarantee it will [02:36] i got my live cd out but when i inserted the other cd it is not mounted is there anything i can do [02:36] server irc.freenode.org [02:36] mauro: freenode.net :P [02:37] i tried mount /dev/cdrom and i got mount: can't find /dev/cdrom in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab [02:37] tyronep, don't eject the livecd while in the live environment. now nothing will work [02:37] Bruenig, do consider that I could have been using this on a machine with productivity (work) files with no backup on a CD or USB... the prank can go bad. [02:37] LetsGo67, I'm sorry the scenario you just suggested seems only to make it funnier [02:37] Take it a blessing that the computer had no files on it, Bruenig. [02:37] tyronep: what you are trying to do is likely impossible [02:37] LetsGo67: have you done ze install command? [02:37] What was that app to convert hex to decimal and vice versa, it started with x :X [02:38] fastfinger, you can do it with printf [02:38] scguy318, yes. Do I need to Ctrl+Alt+Backspace? [02:38] I think [02:38] LetsGo67: did it complete successfully? yes [02:38] bruenig: it's command line thingy [02:38] ok so now i get "Segmentation fault (core dumped)" when i run firefox. it gives me a window that asks if i want to start a new session or restore an old session. either option throws that error. [02:38] which i liked.. but now i can't remember [02:38] fastfinger, yeah printf is a command in coreutils [02:38] what does the User Folders Update deamon do ? [02:38] it works like the printf in c === Jinxed- is now known as jo2 [02:38] Hi! I'm in the install process of ubuntu right now (at the partitioner) and wonder if I should create a partition for /boot? and whats the benefit of it if so? [02:38] ahh [02:39] scguy318 and bruenig, thanks for your help so far, ttyl while I ctrl+alt+backspace. [02:39] but still... would be good to reemmber that old one [02:39] mEck0, i just make a separate partition for /home === GodTodd_ is now known as GodTodd [02:39] When I login to ubuntu, it says "you have new mail" [02:39] How do I check it? [02:39] mEck0, you can make a separate partition for everything... but it gets confusing. people do it so they can easily backup their system [02:39] melanie, interesting. and if you remove the .mozilla dir. and then run firefox it still crashes eh? [02:39] Cpudan80, does it? [02:39] Cpudan80, /var/mail [02:39] i think [02:39] mEck0, better speed , more insurance . but i don't have 2 partitions :) [02:40] Dr_willis, ok so i removed the .mozilla directory from my home directory [02:40] Cpudan80: type mail, gives you simple mail thingy [02:40] and now firefox doesn't run at all. it just goes to the next line in the terminal, nothing [02:40] melanie, geokeratz: okay [02:40] I read it [02:40] melanie: I removed my .mozilla folder, and firefox runs fine, so I think its not the folder that is the problem [02:40] It was some stupid cron job that ran [02:41] danbhfive, ok... so what should i try now [02:41] melanie: make sure there aren't any dead firefox processes lingering on [02:41] because i can still run firefox as root just fine [02:41] melanie: well, honestly, as a non-expert myself, and seeing as you have a separate /home partition, I would reinstall ubuntu [02:41] void^, there isn't... i did a sudo killall *firefox* no processes killed [02:42] why run firefox as root? [02:42] fark... danbhfive but my /home partition seems to be the problem [02:42] bazhang, because it won't run as a normal user [02:42] LetsGo67: welcome back [02:42] i'm just saying that's the ONLY way i can get firefox to run, is as root. [02:42] that would be worrying [02:42] Scguy318, thank you, and thanks, StepMania 4 runs! [02:42] tell me about it [02:42] melanie: how can you tell? I wouldn't think it would cause you this much trouble [02:42] it's driving me nuts [02:42] danbhfive, how can i tell what? [02:43] LetsGo67: have fun [02:43] LetsGo67: I'm going to go have fun now :P [02:43] melanie: how can you tell that its your /home thats the problem? [02:43] Scguy318, Direct Rendering: Yes. Thanks man! Thanks Bruenig! [02:43] danbhfive, i'm assuming since i can run firefox as root [02:43] but not as a normal user [02:43] * bruenig tries to remember what he did [02:43] and when you had me chown -R that ~ directory it *tried* to start. it asked me to create a profile, then said it didn't have write permissions [02:44] melanie: I think a better way to test that would be to create a new user, login, and see if you can start firefox there [02:44] test [02:44] danbhfive, i'll do that, but i can almost guarantee it'll work... so what's the next step if that does work? [02:45] melanie: well, it would show that you are right, that it is a problem with your /home directory, i think [02:45] hi, im currently installing ubuntu 7.10 what do i have to donwload to enable playback of commercial dvds? thanks [02:45] danbhfive, but what would be the next step if that's the case [02:46] !dvd [02:46] 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 [02:46] melanie: I would compare our permissions of the .mozilla directory [02:46] so this is bad [02:46] i chmodd'd ~ to 777 [02:46] and firefox runs no problem [02:46] has anyone here got experience with nfs? [02:46] i need help i installed adobe flash for firefox and now whenever i go to log into something online it shuts down firefox what do i do? [02:47] what should i chmod ~ to? [02:47] melanie: recursively? [02:47] 766 i think [02:47] jrib, it'd be nice [02:47] 755 rather [02:48] melanie: no, I am asking if you did your chmod recursively [02:48] not recursive [02:48] hi, where's the ubuntu sparc channel? doesn't seem to be on the wiki [02:48] oh yes i did it with -R [02:48] melanie: well, that's bad [02:48] no crap it's bad [02:48] shouldn't homedir be 760 or something? [02:48] but now firefox is working [02:48] it's basically irreversible [02:49] melanie: why not just set it as 700 and be done with it :) [02:49] meh [02:49] wait, how is it irreversible? [02:49] i like ubuntu:) [02:49] chmod should never be irreversible because it only changes flags not data [02:49] whatever [02:49] firefox is working [02:50] i don't care about the permissions of /home [02:50] dehspehl: because if I change every letter in this sentence to 'x' and then send it to you, you would not be able to figure out what the original sentence said [02:50] dehspehl: because the permissions vary, and chmod does not remember what it was [02:50] achilles: as do we all (mostly) :} [02:50] melter: you care that you have 7 at least, or can run into some painful problems [02:50] chmod is not reversed, you simply chmod it again [02:50] danbhfive: oh, right.. but most times you don't have different permissions inside home (I believe) [02:51] does anyone know if I need to run avahi ? [02:51] ubuntu is awesome:) [02:51] especially on a cracker [02:51] or toast [02:51] hey everyone [02:52] yeah and with some worm milk:P [02:52] eww, worm milk [02:52] lol [02:52] Carbonflux: probably not, unless you're doing zeroconf networking [02:53] ah, I have all static IPs [02:53] so I guess I don't need it [02:53] Its hard to train the worms to hold still - to get milked. [02:53] :) [02:53] Hi guys [02:53] lol [02:53] thanks scguy318 [02:53] true [02:54] hello, everybody here [02:54] jsbot: time [02:54] hi:) [02:54] what's the time === notyet is now known as notyeta [02:55] ubuntu time [02:55] well the time in NY is 9:55 [02:55] Same in Orlando [02:55] egad its 9:55 here! its a time warp!

[02:56] I have a question that I'm hoping someone can help me with. Would this be a good place to ask> [02:56] when is ubuntu 8 coming out? [02:56] achilles: April '08 [02:56] ok thanks:) [02:56] Taco: about ubuntu, yes, just ask [02:56] two monthes later [02:57] april 2x achilles [02:57] I'm working on installing LIRC [02:57] yeah [02:57] I'm trying to follow these directions: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=10665 [02:57] scguy318, will you try to install this for me, I have to package this program for some people who use ubuntu but I don't use it or debian and so I don't know if the deb actually works: http://users.zenwalk.org/user-accounts/matthew/extemp/extemp-0.1.0.deb [02:57] hey seen how the adobe flash installer is broke i have to reinstall adobe when they get it fixed to fix mine? [02:58] uname -r returns [02:58] bruenig: sure [02:58] 2.6.22-14-generic [02:58] what apps do you guys recommend for someone who just installed ubuntu 7.10? [02:58] what is sad is that packaging without dpkg is about as easy as packaging with it [02:59] frozen bubble achilles [02:59] achilles: thunderbird [02:59] $ sudo apt-get source kernel-source-2.6.22-14-generic [03:00] bruenig: complains about corruption or w/e [03:00] hmmm [03:00] returns E: Unable to find a source package for kernel-source-2.6.22-14-generic [03:00] how do i unistall adobe flash? [03:00] thanks [03:00] bruenig: dpkg-deb: file `extemp-0.1.0.deb' is not a debian binary archive (try dpkg-split?) [03:00] bruenig: maybe I screwed up somehow, but I just wgetted the URL you gave me [03:00] scguy318, no you didn't screw up, let me see what the deal is [03:01] John, click applications, Add/Remove [03:01] Search for flash [03:01] Uncheck and apply [03:01] enter PW and your good [03:01] ubuntu keeps loading these reccurent windows when i log back in, and i turned of remember session [03:02] has anyone packaged latencytop for ubuntu yet? [03:02] Taco does it matter that im using breezy? [03:02] pvl1: I believe you have to remember session logout cleanly with what you want in startup then turn it off [03:02] is it possible to use google earth offline? === dgtl|screen is now known as dgtlchlk [03:02] John, it shouldn't matter, uninstalling should be the same [03:02] if you cache it yes achilles [03:02] dehspehl, that might be it, i shoudl try that, brb [03:03] is there a way to have compiz-fusion in gutsy remember window placement? [03:03] bazhang how do i do that? [03:03] progrock: It would be a compiz-fusion option in Compiz-config settings manager [03:03] progrock: none that'll stick, last I knew...heck, good luck getting compiz-fusion to remember that you want the window-sizing plugin enabled. [03:04] achilles: just make a tour of places you want to check out--google earth should do the cache itself [03:04] taco when i search for it doesnt find it [03:04] oh lol thanks [03:04] progrock: At least I remember being able to do that when I used compiz [03:04] hmm...ok - i never really got it to remember when I used beryl, I don't know why I expect a different result now [03:04] breezy is 5.04? [03:04] PMed John [03:04] bazhang: think so [03:04] Hi - can anyone recommend a terminal emulator that has live wrapping of output, or allows string search on the output? [03:04] is it possible to use kate in gnome? [03:05] wow is that still supported? [03:05] achilles: yes [03:05] bazhang: no [03:05] !PMed [03:05] Sorry, I don't know anything about pmed - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [03:05] sure achilles [03:05] if you are running 5.04 it's better to just get new ISO and reinstall, saving your home and such [03:05] thanks scguy318! [03:05] hi [03:05] taco is PMed a command [03:05] is there such a thing as a ram disk in ubuntu? [03:05] ThreeFingerPete: yes [03:05] johnathon: your breezy is no longer supported [03:05] i am considering getting a i-ram and installing on that. [03:05] ThreeFingerPete: ramfs [03:06] ..no I opened a message, should be a seperage box or on the left, depends on your client [03:06] then have my /home on a regular disk [03:06] You should see my name somewhere [03:06] bazhang ik [03:06] hi how ru guys i nwe to this group [03:06] thanks for everones help:) [03:06] : thanks [03:06] ThreeFingerPete: you don't really install things to a ram disk [03:06] anyone around who knows how to find a username and password that nautilus stored for me? [03:06] dehspehl: you can on thge i-ram pci card [03:07] ThreeFingerPete: ahh, it's constantly powered? [03:07] join #cisco [03:07] whats the command to run a module [03:07] Should be named: Macromedia Flash plugin [03:08] : yes it is. it draws from PCI or sata and has a 16 hour battery for power failure [03:08] ThreeFingerPete: Hehe, would probably just be better to put swap on it [03:08] Taco it still says no result found [03:08] ThreeFingerPete: well, if you actually need swap, not sure [03:08] scguy318, try again: http://users.zenwalk.org/user-accounts/matthew/extemp/extemp-0.1.0.deb [03:09] Then I am out of ideas... Sorry [03:09] it k [03:09] Sorry to cross posting: openoffice.org and ubuntu, i just want to know if someone on ubuntu have same problem like i am.. [03:09] I have very big problem with openoffice.org (use 2.2 and 2.3) on Feisty & Gutsy, i don't know the problem is specific to openoffice.org or ubuntu, so i have file/document server use Microsoft Windows 2003 Server, then i mount the shared folder with this command on /etc/fstab: //172.16.0.100/Tour /mnt/Tour cifs username=operation02,password=123456,auto,users,uid=mike,gid=users,file_mode=0644 0 0. Ok, the problem is when there is document on server *.odt, [03:09] which is i use SAMBA - cifs) or Windows 2003 Server problem. But user on XP or Windows 2000 Pro and ofcourse use OpenOffice.org not complain about that problem. FYI: I tested with OO.org Calc on ubuntu, then save it to XLS (Microsoft Excel format) and it's fine.. so the only problem is OO.org Writer on Ubuntu [03:10] do I need to run Tracker if I am not going to be using beagle ? [03:10] : i dont think i do! i've never touched swap! not even in windows xp [03:10] cybermad: is /mnt/Tour really mounted? the syntax looks odd [03:10] so my tick is save from odt to doc first on ubuntu (example: Desktop), then copy it to windows shared folder [03:10] *trick [03:10] so how do i execute a module [03:11] jhend60: a kernel module? [03:11] and it works... the problem is if i did on fly save odt -> doc to windows shared folder [03:11] ThreeFingerPete: i'm guessing most people with even a remotely modern PC, don't need swap, but the installer whines and crys if you don't set one. [03:11] Carbonflux: no === nixternal_ is now known as nixternal [03:11] thanks again scguy318 :) [03:12] Carbonflux: no problem [03:12] is any1 interested to chat with me [03:12] Hello- anybody want to help a newbie get kismet working? [03:12] cybermad: type mount, is /mnt/Tour in the list [03:12] so the basic, converting odt to doc is fine... just problem if i save it to windows shared folder, or like i said before.. i save it first at my ubuntu, then copy it to windows shared folder [03:12] erik__, the trick is editing the conf file [03:12] !anybody | erik__ [03:12] erik__: 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?

[03:13] hi :P [03:13] how ru [03:13] good [03:13] cybermad: It is in fact on the list? then it's probably OO.o problem [03:13] bruenig: link again, I probably missed [03:13] whenever i try mounting an nfs4 share I get the error "no such device". I've gone through all the docs/faqs and setup guides i can find [03:13] bruenig, ubotu, Sorry. I got it. So- In the conf file- I set the source to my wifi driver- wha is the interface, name and etc, that I need to input? [03:14] anyone else seen this problem? [03:14] scguy318, http://users.zenwalk.org/user-accounts/matthew/extemp/extemp-0.1.0.deb [03:14] Going to release my problem this time hopefully closer together so someone can follow ;) [03:14] hey i right joined this group [03:14] erik__, do "iwconfig" and paste the output [03:14] !paste | erik__ [03:14] erik__: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel.

[03:21] cybermad: very, very odd [03:22] dehspehl have you test it.. i test it on about 6 computers here [03:22] can someone help me please? [03:22] cybermad: honestly I don't have anything to test it -with- [03:22] some use ubuntu Gutsy and Feisty, with OO 2.2 and 2.3 [03:22] all same! :( [03:22] okay, i have emerald as my theme manager. how do i go back to the default one? [03:22] Hi - is there any terminal emulator that live-wraps output, or allows string search on the output? [03:22] cybermad: I'd have to buy a windows professional license or something crazy like that to match your environment [03:23] i worry about ubuntu it self, openoffice.org writer, or connection to windows 2003 server [03:23] p1: string search is done via grep and piping usually [03:24] p1: i.e. $ ls | grep html [03:24] I just finished up putting together everything I said. Thanks void^ for responding. Let me just put it into conversation while I take another look for some information [03:24] I am working on installing LIRC. I'm trying to follow these directions: “http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=30612&highlight=lirc”. First real step is to run “uname -r” to get your kernel version. It returns “2.6.22-14-generic”. Next step is to insert your version number in this expression, which I beleve I did, “$ sudo apt-get source kernel-source-2.6.22-14-generic”. After prompting for the password it returns “E: Unable [03:24] to find a source package for kernel-source-2.6.22-14-generic”. Any ideas on how to move forward? [03:24] My laptop has a camera built into the top of the screen... are there any guides on how to access this device? (I'm not even certain who made it) [03:24] cybermad: well connection is ruled out, I have yet to have a problem with KIO shared folders [03:24] i will not migrate my ubuntu to windows... never [03:24] i thinking to move windows 2003 server data to samba [03:24] what do you think? [03:24] cybermad: don't, unless you actually know unix [03:24] dehspehl: Yes, but in the general case, the output that is already printed has to be copied and pasted to a file, then grepped. That's inconvenient [03:25] do you have mount to windows 2003 shared folder from ubuntu? [03:25] crwl to go back just sistem preferences appearance theme and select human [03:25] p1: oh you are trying to string search with interactive programs? [03:25] may you share your command on /etc/fstab about how to connect to windows 2003 server [03:25] Taco: if you insist on going that way, the source package is named linux-source-2.6.22 [03:25] alguien habla español??

[03:40] rupestre: I believe you can just sudo apt-get install compiz-fusion, if your video card supports it [03:40] yes ok i know those commands [03:40] Messedrocker, Ubuntu is pretty much better in every way. [03:40] also the mouse wheel [03:41] !performance [03:41] Sorry, I don't know anything about performance - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [03:41] !kde4 [03:41] KDE 4.0 is the latest major release of the K Desktop Environment.

[04:20] In ubuntu, whenever I mount it, it still displays the Volume Name but not the files [04:20] most of my files [04:20] k [04:20] you can use foremost to recover most file types [04:20] it was my 7yrs of work :( [04:21] well, any filetype if you know the header string [04:21] hsteve, it is necessary to know what your using to install the driver [04:21] how would i know the header string? [04:21] well, most common files are implemented, jpeg, pdf, doc, txt, mov, avi, tar, tgz, bz, zip etc [04:22] hi, sometimes when i restart, my screen just goes blank after ubuntu logs out and my computer doesn't boot unless i press the reset button [04:22] anyone know what's going on? [04:22] faulty BIOS maybe [04:22] APM/ACPI [04:22] grody: it doesn't happen when i restart from vista === earlmred_ is now known as boydjd [04:23] VvWolverinevV, possibly a service is not shutting down correctly [04:23] vista != linux [04:23] ablyss: how can i check that [04:23] turn the splash off in grub [04:23] *headdesk* Did someone just say Vista was Linux? [04:23] ablys so far my system tell me Bt878 [04:23] !- xTheGoat121x :) [04:23] Sorry, I don't know anything about xthegoat121x :) - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [04:23] i'm trying to find out more [04:24] != * [04:24] VvWolverinevV, perhaps accessing tty8 while shutting down to watch system messages... i think that might work [04:24] i forget what tty stdout goes too.. it might matter [04:25] most files i'd like to salvage are in JPG, MP3, AVI, DVD ISO files, PSD, and mostly PHP [04:25] gnome just crashes and restarts after I put in my login and password: any suggestions? I was able to start gnome in failsafe mode... any suggestions? some direction? [04:25] im still having problems with 7.10 crashing when scrolling in both firefox and opera... the crash is totally random [04:25] ubuntux: type this in a term window: df -m and note the USB drive. What does it say? The type fdisk -l /dev/sdxx <- replace xx with the string from df -m [04:25] ubuntux, http://foremost.sourceforge.net/ [04:25] has anyone in here gone through the ubuntu desktop training course? [04:25] Rug, grody, ok [04:26] VvWolverinevV: also, you can remove the words quiet splash from the kernel line in /boot/grub/menu.lst , that will give you the max info during shutdown in the console (disables the splash screen, shows the shutdown process) [04:26] and is very messy sometimes :) [04:26] VvWolverinevV, fyi acessing another tty is as simple as pressing [04:27] Does anyone know anything about installing a Xonar D2 sound card?? Please help [04:27] grody: I like that, it impresses the peons when I say 'sure, I understand that stuff ;) [04:27] and ubuntux, remember not to output the recovered files onto the usb disk [04:28] ok [04:28] where do i change the default wireless network to connect to? my system is always trying the wrong one first [04:28] Anyone know how to tell which TV-out card I have in my notebook? [04:28] albech-> /etc/network/interfaces [04:28] Rynoo: lspci [04:28] albech, you should just disable the one you do not want in the network control panel [04:29] Rynoo: yes, lspci or lspci -v for more verbose output [04:29] Does anyone know anything about installing a Xonar D2 sound card?? Please help [04:29] nickrud: but i leave "ro" there? [04:29] yes [04:30] only remove splash & quiet [04:30] VvWolverinevV: yes [04:30] Scout: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4200296 [04:30] nickrud: and that affects shutdown? ok [04:30] ablyss: i dont see any options for that [04:30] nickrud: ill try that [04:31] is there some utorrent clone for linux out there? I don't like azureus because it sucks memory like hell [04:31] genii: I have done the things pointed out in that thread twice. Nothing worked. Do you have personal experience with it? [04:31] pewpewpew: ktorrent is good [04:32] hy [04:32] Scout: Nope [04:32] boleh gabung g? [04:32] Agh [04:32] !id [04:32] join ke #ubuntu-id untuk membahas ubuntu dalam bahasa Indonesia [04:32] maybe i should just delete the key for it in the keyring manager [04:32] I just compiled the new 2.6.24 kernel and it is causing strange behavior with the quiet kernel flag [04:33] on a separate note, is there a way to make the resize margins around the edges of windows more than 3 pixels? [04:33] VvWolverinevV: you'll have to reboot before those changes take effect, it won't show until the second shutdown after the edit [04:33] nickrud: yeah that's makes sense [04:33] nickrud: *that [04:33] i rebooted, and while my secondary harddrive/filesystems mount fine from fstab, they no longer appear on the desktop like they used to [04:33] i can't find a setting for this anywhere [04:34] ablyss i think the model is wintv200 with a wdm driver [04:34] grody, i've installed Foremost via apt-get... been on the website but can't seem to find a documentation on how to use it [04:34] man foremost [04:34] oh... ok [04:35] it's so easy you'll kick yourself [04:35] Is it not illegal for an ISP to cut down your speed from 800kbs to 24kbs because you use a lot of bandwidth? I stream movies and download a lot of files and they keep cutting my internet speeds down because of it. In the USA btw. Anybody know? [04:35] no [04:35] you agree to terms when signing up, your using the service warrants your agreement to those terms [04:35] josiah, no it is not illegal. [04:36] nickrud: it doesn't always freeze though, so there's no point in rebooting now. i'll just leave the splash off until it happens again [04:36] could tar+gzip make the highest compress ？make the smallest file after compress [04:36] josiah: one of the cable providers is being investigated for that [04:36] doesnt that seem like a crappy thing for an isp to do? I have never delt with an isp that has done that before. [04:36] sorry,my english is bad [04:36] josiah: Switch ISPs. [04:36] josiah, get another one [04:36] josiah, of course it is a 'crappy thing to do.' But in America, it's legal. [04:36] anywhere it's legal [04:36] After doing a kernel update to 2.6.18.8-0.7, how come I now only see one processor in gnome-system-monitor when I'm on a SMP platform, and used to have both cores available? [04:36] providing the ISP states it in the T&C [04:36] josiah: is the speed decrease at certain times of the day? [04:37] grody, that's not true. In some countries the government presides over how bandwidth is distributed. [04:37] there are no other isp's besides satellite in my area. [04:37] dvn805: same thing happend to me, slight bug in the upgrade process [04:37] not its not at certain times of the day [04:37] grody, Oh... didn't see your second comment about the T&C. [04:37] grody, do i have to run foremost as su? [04:37] Rug: so when I run BOINC, It only utilizes one core now [04:37] i talked to them and they said if you use so much bandwidth the server throttles your speeds down [04:37] could tar+gzip make the smallest file after compress [04:37] yupp [04:37] and i dont believe anything like that was in the terms and agreement [04:38] so now my other core is just useless? [04:38] no ubuntux, as long as your user has read access to the device.. just make sure it is umounted when doing it [04:38] josiah, that's very common with satellite ISPs. [04:38] Actually, comcast has been having some court room woes due to their throttling of traffic since they were marketing it as "unlimited" service. Like others said though, if it's in the paperwork you signed... [04:38] air-internet.com = crap [04:38] could tar+gzip make the smallest file after compress [04:38] oh ot [04:38] it's mounted [04:38] grody, thanks [04:38] np [04:38] dvn805: you can boot into your previous kernels at bootup, via the grub menu [04:38] its not a satellite isp... im saying sat isp is the only other high speed available [04:38] isp* not speed lol [04:38] josiah, say your verizon.. just go sprint or whatever [04:38] icesword: tar+gz is a good solution if you keep your files on nix's [04:39] yes [04:39] wc [04:39] grody: not available [04:39] Rug: so is that what you did, or are you fine with just having one core? [04:39] i need to either fight them or spend a lot more money [04:39] icesword: and the compression is ok [04:39] joseaa: comcast? and torrents? [04:39] Hi, anyone know the name of that script that allows you to check the file system when you turn the comp off instead of every 30 times you boot? [04:39] josiah: I mean: comcast? and torrents? [04:40] RootyRootRootW00: fsck [04:40] albech, thank you ,i am not sure what nix is,and is tar+gzip the best compress,i want the highest compress [04:40] nickrud: torrents and netflix movie streaming [04:40] albech thanks, am looking it up now! [04:40] no, I boot to an old kernel. I don't have time to fight with it to fix it, so I am waiting for the devs to fix it. [04:40] nickrud: but mostly torrents [04:40] http://www.internetnews.com/bus-news/article.php/3721751 [04:40] josiah: i had a feeling it was comcast... [04:40] okay, thank you, and I will try that [04:40] icesword: nix is just any unix enviroment.. tar.gz isnt that great supported on win and mac [04:41] why whats up with comcast? [04:41] icesword: also read the gz man for info about the highest compress algorithms [04:41] albech, oh, i see,i need to compress on linux [04:41] does comcast still charge 200$ for a commercial account in order to host your own server [04:41] nickrud: that's what i was referencing to, you just found the article again before me :-p [04:41] albech, yes,sir ,thank you [04:41] lex_: yeah, I'm a google god :) [04:42] nickrud: haha, i just get easily distracted by shiny objects [04:42] hey i have a problem im running ubuntu 6.06 and theres and error with my xorg i need to reconfigure it from the terminal how would i do this would anyone know at all? [04:42] charter charges me $75 for 1 static and 3 dynamic ips... pretty good deal don't you think [04:42] lex_: I use it a _lot_ at work, I think in google search phrases now [04:42] konsole [04:43] family: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [04:43] i tried xorgconfig but its not working [04:43] sweeet [04:43] hi I want to compile a Win32/Linux Linux installer for an IRC program and a script that has it's own installer but I need a IRC program thats under GNU [04:43] family: sud dpkg-reconfigure --phigh xserver-xorg [04:43] I have a digital camera and would like an app to use that can import pics right from the cam, but I don't like f-spot.

[04:43] !brokenflash | steven_ [04:43] steven_: there are posts on the fourms [04:43] steven_: 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. [04:43] steven_, just manually install the plugin .. works for me [04:43] which one* [04:44] steven_ install the hardy package or just use the one on adobe's website [04:44] family: the -phigh will cause it to ask fewer questions [04:44] Im about to intall Ubuntu on to raid 0 bt I need to know if the home,/,Swap partitions can be on a exteded partition? [04:44] k [04:44] family: both wll work. the one i said skips keybioard config [04:44] macogw, id suggest asking your xubuntu question here since #xubuntu is so slow and i have no clue about your problem unless to make sure its plugged in correctly [04:44] PKdoR: yes [04:44] PKdoR: why raid0? [04:44] ardchoille, Digicam or Picasa are pretty popular. [04:44] soldats: its a touchpad [04:44] archangelpetro, Digikam that is. [04:45] or does anyone know which channel should I ask this in? [04:45] archangelpetro, Woops, that wasn't meant for you :) [04:45] yeah it sounds like im going through exactly what comcast customers are [04:45] BS [04:45] hello all.

And it happens with just about any format. .avi/.mpg/.mkv [04:45] dual booting Vista/Ubuntu [trying to use vista exclusively for gaming] [04:45] soldats: and yeah i didnt think hardware would be DE specific [04:45] macogw, ahh but still its so slow there you may not get a quick answer [04:45] okay hopfully ill be able to chat with u guys in a bit from the other computer [04:45] :) [04:45] thank you all [04:45] !hello | two_bits [04:45] two_bits: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [04:45] How does ubuntu 7.10 compare to opensuse 10.3? I'm currently using opensuse 10.2 [04:45] how does one name volumes in ubuntu? Say, I wanted to name a flash drive or something [04:45] albech I'm looking for the script that allows you (gui style I believe) to run fsck during a boot-down. [04:45] josiah: I moved and took insight service, now, comcast bought them out so i'm going to be BACK in the same boat [04:45] !synaptics | macogw (my standard reply to touchpad questions) [04:45] macogw (my standard reply to touchpad questions): For a comprehensive Synaptics Touchpad guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad [04:45] dvn805: it has gnome and suse has kde. [04:45] two_bits: Right click, rename ? [04:46] josiah: they however don't throttle usenet traffic [04:46] I hate sound cards [04:46] davidthedrake: Thanks [04:46] it says it can't do it... [04:46] so I figured i was missing something :( [04:46] macogw: using gnome with opensuse 10.2 [04:46] two_bits: try using fdisk to label your volumes [04:46] okay i will [04:46] thank you [04:46] Hi, anyone know the name of that script that allows you to check the file system when you turn the comp off instead of every 30 times you boot? [04:46] ardchoille, no sweat :) [04:46] dvn805: I switched to Ubuntu from OpenSuSE [04:46] nickrud: yeah see this site http://blog.dreamdevil.com/index.php/2007/10/22/install_ubuntu_7_10_dell_inspiron_8600 says alps, not synaptics [04:46] dvn805: The package management is 10000x better [04:46] cpudan: were you having problems with that buggy zen updater? [04:46] unfortunately I only have two options for high speed internet in my area and one of them costs twice as much as the other :( Wish I could get verizon FIOS [04:47] RootyRootRootW00, autofsck? === rubix is now known as rubixlinux [04:47] Javid: Thanks, looking it up [04:47] dvn805: No, the updates were just slow and left me in dependency hell [04:47] I have it, it's great [04:47] dvn805: 10.3 mucked up my bootloader too [04:47] cupdan: yeah, I had my linux box offline for a while, and now while trying to do updates using zen, I'm in dependecy hell and can't get them applied === lex_ is now known as lex_zzz [04:47] RootyRootRootW00: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AutoFsck [04:48] air-internet.com/termsconditions.html [04:48] dvn805: Yeah, apt-get does a much better than yast [04:48] not only that, but i have instructions to clear out the zen updater cache and restart the client because it always crashes on me [04:48] does it look like its in their terms and conditions to you? I dont see anything about it. [04:48] dvn805: Also, wifi support is better in Ubuntu [04:48] Cpudan80, finally. [04:48] well mainly I don't want to mess with none GNU programs [04:48] okay, i'm downloading it and will try installing it [04:48] josiah: it isn't. that's what the article link is explaining [04:48] are you using ext4 or xfs? [04:48] dvn805: Also, if you use gnome -- it works better than suse I think [04:49] hey all. I was reading a while ago on how a guy had his comp setup as an wireless acces point (achieved) and he made it so when guests connected to it, theycould connect to internet, but he was middleman and used a prog to flip all images vertically. anyone know what command I would use for that? and also maybe what i would need to setup elsewhere? [04:49] cpudan: possibly, although isn't it novell that runs the gnome project? [04:49] dvn805: ubuntu is built around gnome - so no DCOPServer crap from KDE [04:49] dvn805: i was going to say thats the biggest thing i noticed, but thatd be a lie. the thing i disliked most when i tried (to fix) suse, was yast. it reloads package lists after each repository you add, while apt lets you wait til you're done (so it doesn't compound the slowyness like yast does) [04:49] so if i have a second harddrive in my linux box.... whats the easiest way to format it under a linux partition. I have worked with fdisk before so maybe that? Also what partition type would i want to use for ubuntu? [04:49] does that make sense? [04:49] lex_zzz: im not with comcast though this is a different isp [04:49] richd: upsidedownternet? [04:49] dvn805: Technically suse has no preference, the novell people run Gnome, the people over in germany like KDE [04:49] richd, afaik it was custom router firmware [04:49] macogw: googling [04:49] davidthedrake: ? [04:50] lex_zzz: im wondering if I am in the right in thinking this is wrong of them and that I can fight them over the issue. [04:50] soldats: wasn't router. was linux comp. [04:50] ok so i'm installing it and it's a brand new computer and it says i/o error that the disk might be messed up but i verified it and everything [04:50] I noticed that.. I'm not too fond of KDE either [04:50] josiah: a friendly phone call to the local franchise and others couldn't hurt [04:50] toucansam: how's the optical drive? [04:50] At this rate it takes me 20 days to download a ubuntu iso [04:50] I need to post into a school website, one computer freezes when I try, and the other gives me an error message when I get to the same point and lets me continue.

Click "Cancel" if you do not trust the source of this applet. Click "Trust Applet" [04:50] new [04:50] Cpudan80, *shrug* just commenting on how it took a little bit for the wireless support to be so good in Ubuntu [04:50] richd, hmm that maybe. but i also recall someone with custom router firmware that flipped the pages around when someone connected to wifi [04:50] what makes a harddrive/filesystem show up as an icon on the desktop?! [04:51] it boots fine, just wont install [04:51] is there any support for broadcom chipsets? [04:51] kittentamer: do you have java installed? [04:51] dvn805: The thing that did it for me was that ubuntu has such a large, helpful user base [04:51] that's what I notice in this room [04:51] macogw: yes, I do. [04:51] Hey guys, when I connect to a server using ssh -X user@remote, and try to run a program that will show up on the local machine, I get this error xterm Xt error: [04:51] cpudan: in the suse room, people over there are silent [04:51] dvn805: I think there is....

[04:52] lionel_: #ubuntu-fr [04:52] ok soldats! [04:52] does anyone know if i can boot from a usb?

[04:53] ext4 support in 7.10? [04:53] wanting them back :P [04:53] well it wasn't a boot option in the bios macogw, so i'm assuming no? [04:53] dvn805: my lappy's using the bcm43xx driver and fwcutter to get the firmware [04:53] toucansam: probably not. [04:53] i'm using fwcutter also, and have major problems connecting to my network [04:53] i could just create my own ln -s but i'm curious why it stopped showing the icon. [04:53] .. and it's quite reliable.. yesterday I even got WPA working which I've never had before!! [04:54] When connecting to a text only remote server through ssh, can I run window programs on my desktop using ssh -X? and if I can how so? [04:54] dvn805: if you can download from elsewhere and transport the firmware on a flashdrive, i have it tarred up [04:54] golem_: lol and here i want em gone. I've noticed though, when i mount the drive (not having it in the fstab) the icons will appear when mounted so... [04:54] macogw: I kept thinking I saw something where the alps glidepoint used the synaptics driver, I found this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=467422 [04:54] well it was a cheap drive, so maybe its just broken [04:54] macogw:I can just use a cat 5 cable [04:54] macogw: java is set to default. [04:54] yeah, maybe it's for external drives only, so once they go in fstab they stop showing the icon [04:54] .. depends on the exact chip though.. some are really crap, some almost work.. [04:54] no luck [04:55] Javid: Thanks! That's it! /installs [04:55] I'm having it verify the disk and see if it verifies ok [04:55] dpkg-reconfigure-xserver-xorg didnt work maybe i typed it wrong [04:55] :) [04:55] nickrud: X is dead on my lappy. i cant hold the power cable and type at the same time, so X doesn't want to put up with the constant brightness changes and died [04:55] golem_: perhaps fstab is mounting them before something with gnome has a chance to pop the icons there [04:55] i tried dpkg --reconfigure-xserver-xorg [04:55] i read that external drives shouldn't go into fstab [04:55] golem_, try mount -a [04:55] dpkg --reconfigure -xserver-xorg [04:55] anyone know how to put thunderbird's newsgroups always at the bottom? every time I add a new email account, it places it after the newsgroups area.. [04:55] macogw: should I change the default to gij-4.2 (which is the other option) [04:55] this is the sidebar I'm referring to [04:56] kittentamer: no, gnu's isn't very good [04:56] macd: lol, time for ebay [04:56] golem_: i can see why, it probably wouldn't like it if it wasn't there [04:56] macogw what was the command you game me again to reconfigure the xorg thing [04:56] family_, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [04:56] macogw: so, any advice then?

The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [04:56] kittentamer: there's a package, im sorry i dont know the name so you'll have to search, but it gives you a gui to update alternatives. make sure the java plugin is set to sun too [04:56] k brb [04:56] !botsnack [04:56] Yum! Err, I mean, APT! [04:57] Anyone familar with using the ssh -X command? [04:57] kittentamer: galternatives [04:57] adminz, somewhat [04:57] adminz: yea, use that a lot.. [04:57] nickrud: i just got the box today to send and get the optical & hard drives replaced and either the power jack soldered or whole mobo replaced. that's why i need to get linux going on this other comp--to use while mine's at the doctor's [04:57] hello. Would anyone know of a good link on howto get a PPC WM5 working in gutsy? [04:57] macogw: Thanks, I'll give it a try! [04:58] dd'ing /dev/urandom to a 60GB drive sure does take a while. [04:58] Ashfire908: zcat[1] Thanks for the response.. I am trying to use a program, xterm for example, on my local machine from a server, but I get this error xterm Xt error: [04:58] does ubuntu still do a PPC version? [04:58] alright, i concede the issue, automatically appearing desktop icons are for removable media only [04:58] zcat[1]: unofficially, yes [04:58] ubuntu PPC edition? [04:58] zcat[1]: not officially [04:58] Can someone help me with my Memorex scanner? I get "Failed to open device ~ artec_eplus28u:libusb:001:003': Invalid argument." as my error when I try to start Xsane Image Scanner. [04:58] and then... DISPLAY is not set [04:58] zcat[1]: search on wiki.ubuntu.com for "powerpc" and there's a page where you can download the iso [04:58] zcat[1]: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/7.10/release/ [04:59] or go there... [04:59] cool.. except my old PPC is in the garage gathering dust and spiders... just curious [04:59] golem_, i have 2 slave hdds inside my box and both have icons. plus my eternal ipod has an icon as well [04:59] adminz, what's the first error? [04:59] s/eternal/external [05:00] soldats & golem_: it's a setting in gconf-editor [05:00] golem_: for any device that's mounted in /media you should get an icon on the desktop [05:00] hey does anybody know how i can get CMapTools working on gutsy? [05:00] Ashfire908: xterm Xt error: Can't open display: [05:00] as long as the gconf-editor setting says show removeable media, that is [05:00] good news macogw i verified it and it found 84 errored filed. bout to reburn it loooow speed and c a r e f u l l y escort it to the cd try haha [05:01] adminz, is this then you try to start an X application through the ssh? [05:01] Ashfire908: Which I think makes sense, because on my local machine, if I type echo $DISPlay, it comes up empty [05:01] toucansam: haha good luck on the new burn [05:01] Ashfire908: correct [05:01] trying to set up squid and dansguardian, but the machine I have is 1GHz, 256M ram... it's slowing web access to a crawl :( [05:01] toucansam: did you do an md5 on the iso to make sure it's nota corrupt download as well? [05:01] two_bits: did that work for you ? [05:01] adminz, does the other computer have X.org set up right? [05:02] jest ktos z polski?

[05:03] golem_: ah, it's great fun. enjoy [05:03] whats the polish channel he's asking [05:03] i think [05:03] Ashfire908: I'm not sure.. one sec [05:04] !pl [05:04] Mozesz uzyskac pomoc w jezyku polskim na #ubuntu-pl [05:04] Hi, can someone help me with my Memorex scanner? I get "Failed to open device ~ artec_eplus28u:libusb:001:003': Invalid argument." as my error when I try to start Xsane Image Scanner. [05:04] i already did that [05:04] so I can't read everything all the time ;) [05:04] Ashfire908: I don't think so, the server is mostly a server install of ubuntu, no gui [05:04] adminz, i have a x.orgless server but installing xbase-clients makes x forwarding work. [05:04] what's an easy to use bit torrent client on ubuntu? [05:04] nickrud: know a way to see what % done a dd is? [05:04] adminz, well perfect as that's what i have. [05:04] beats_scissors: deluge [05:05] macogw: no, I sure don't. I just go have some coffee [05:05] Ashfire908: Alright, all I have done, is gone into both ssh_config, and sshd_config, and changed X11 forwarding to yes [05:05] adminz, try installing xbase-clients. it pulls in a lot but i don't know which are needed for this [05:05] !info deluge-torrent | beats_scissors [05:05] beats_scissors: deluge-torrent (source: deluge-torrent): A Bittorrent client written in Python/PyGTK. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.5.4.1-1ubuntu3 (gutsy), package size 3059 kB, installed size 10740 kB [05:05] macogw , nickrud : thanks! [05:06] ok, I am installing now [05:06] i feel like such a noob, but how do i enable sshd? on freebsd i'd add a single line to rc.conf and run an /etc/rc.d script [05:06] adminz, doesn't help if there is nothing to handle X apps :) [05:06] anyone know how to put thunderbird's newsgroups always at the bottom? every time I add a new email account, it places it after the newsgroups area.. [05:06] this is the sidebar I'm referring to [05:06] golem_: did you install openssh-server ? [05:06] golem_: sudo apt-get install ssh-server [05:06] adminz, you will need to relogin i think and you will get a notice about adding some x file. [05:06] golem_: I have the package name wrong [05:06] it's not in base eh [05:07] thanks [05:07] 8-) [05:07] Ashfire908: I currently use my server as a ssh/samba/apache server, but wish to use it as a Urban Terror server as well, and you need to setup that up in the game menu [05:07] golem_: ubuntu doesn't come with a compiler, and you expect server stuff ;) [05:07] someone's been tryin to ssh into my computer [05:07] adminz, you might need to pull in some other stuff too...... [05:07] golem_: nah we assume the average user wouldn't really need and it'd end up being a nice security target, so if you need it for some admin tasks, you must know your way through the command line, so you're not afraid of installing things...more or less [05:08] with names like 'fluffy' and 'guest' [05:08] ssh theirs, then [05:08] well that was dead simple. it even started ssh automatically [05:08] Ashfire908: Ok, the error changed I think, it now reads " xterm Xt error: Can't open display: [05:08] xterm: DISPLAY is not set [05:08] nickrud: neither does debian, and that's "for advanced users" [05:09] i used a freebsd desktop for a year so it's been an adjustment [05:09] adminz, did you relogin? [05:09] macogw: I've never installed a stable debian [05:09] Ashfire908: Yes [05:09] adminz, you get a message about ".Xauthority"? [05:09] Ashfire908: no sir [05:09] doesnt ubuntu come with the gcc compiler???? [05:09] macogw: I kinda like running a more stable unstable, so thanks to you all [05:10] nickrud: i still think it's funny that linus won't use debian because he doesn't like those "advanced" distros that make you jump through hoops before getting what you want to reach...in his case, kernel [05:10] adminz, hm. [05:10] R00t4CC3S: no [05:10] R00t4CC3S, built-essentials [05:10] err build [05:10] What should echo $DISPLAY return on the server? [05:10] R00t4CC3S: just like with debian, that's instaled from build-essentials [05:10] Does anyone have experience with sound cards?? [05:10] no wait that's build-essential , singular essential, isnt it? [05:11] macogw: genius is eccentric, and particularly peculiar [05:11] Ashfire908: because on both my local machine, and myserver, that command returns nothing, but when googling the issue a lot of people have like local.0 or .10 or something like that [05:11] adminz: or :0 [05:11] adminz, does "/usr/bin/X11/xauth" exist? [05:11] adminz but i think that only happens if you type it in an xterm..not tty [05:11] adminz, er i think the X11 is a symlink [05:11] I have 2 SATA drives hooked up. One drive has the entire ubuntu system, the other drive has all NT partitions. When I setup ubuntu I previously had XP on the drive with the NT partitions, but it is no longer there. If I remove the NT drive, the Linux drive won't boot, so all the boot info is on the NT drive. Whats the easiest way to get the boot info from the NT drive to the ubuntu drive? [05:11] at least, its blank on tty for me [05:12] Does anyone know what the canonical irc channel is? [05:12] taz: boot ubuntu and then run grub-install from within it [05:12] Scout: there's only one guy that knows sound well that comes thru here, I'll ping you if he shows up [05:12] yes, maybe chroot [05:12] adminz, just making sure you know, by relogin i meant ssh -X back in. [05:12] nickrud thank you. This has been driving me crazy [05:13] macogw: can I do it with both drives hooked up or do I have to remove the NT drive and boot from a CD? [05:13] Ashfire908: correct, I did do the ssh -X [05:13] taz: you can boot ubuntu from the drive then once it's running install grub on that drive [05:14] cd /usr/bin/X11 [05:14] ls [05:14] taz: i did the same thing last year when trying to install on an external drive for play...my internal one stopped being able to boot on its own :P [05:14] does ubuntu play nice with thinkpad advanced mini docks? [05:14] Ashfire908: there is a xauth in /usr/bin/X11 [05:14] macogw: do you mean boot from the NT drive or the CD/DVD? [05:14] taz: the NT drive [05:14] macogw: ok just grub-install then? [05:15] adminz, hmm. [05:15] taz: probably sudo grub-install [05:15] taz: but i think that's it [05:15] :) [05:15] macogw: thanks I'll give it a shot [05:15] adminz, so no "/usr/bin/X11/xauth: creating new authority file /home/user/.Xauthority"? [05:15] hey i have a fairly urgent question, i just transferred photos off of the SD camera memory card i had a ton of photos on. However the problem is that when i used the utility that automatically pops up when i put in the card to move the photos from the card to the computer [05:15] Ashfire908: when should I have seen that? [05:15] the files have all been deleted off of the card, but are not showing up where i thought i moved them to [05:16] Hye! Can someone tell me how i can enable vnc/remote desktop via terminal? thanxs [05:16] xivanari: any idea what any of them were named? [05:16] just regular picture names [05:16] adminz, after the motd and last login, before the shell prompt [05:16] ill grab a name off a different photo i have from this same camera [05:16] P1040263.jpg [05:17] xivanari: like if you know that they start with DCM0020.JPG or something, you can run "sudo updatedb" to update the listing of everything on the computer, then "sudo slocate " where is the name of one of the files [05:17] thats one name [05:17] they are all like that [05:17] i dont know what the name of the files was though [05:17] because they were just numbers in sequential order [05:17] xivanari: they are supposed to show up in ~/Photos [05:17] i had pictures from like a month ago on this card [05:17] Ashfire908: ok, re logined again to check, and didn't see that [05:18] so i dont know what number the sequence is at, especiallyt since it seems to randomly change [05:18] adminz, does ~/.Xauthority exist? === mattg_ is now known as crwler [05:18] xivanari: should be able to updatedb and then slocate P*.jpg maybe? [05:18] i dont have that directory [05:18] how does this look: nmap -v -PN -A -badsum --data-length 20 -D 66.102.9.147 210.212.249.165 [05:19] Ashfire908: what is the command to list hidden files again? [05:19] xivanari: cant hurt to try that at least...but did you check your Photos directory inside home, like nickrud said? [05:19] adminz, la -a [05:19] Ashfire908: ahh. ls -a [05:19] anyone? [05:19] ls -a ***** [05:19] thanks [05:19] adminz, it's the -a switch with ls. [05:19] xivanari: oh that directory's not there..k try the search. cant hurt [05:19] adminz, -A to hide the . and .. [05:19] Ashfire908: there is not one there in the home directory [05:20] adminz: hm. [05:20] anyone know how to setup and enable ssh X11 forwarding on a xorg xserver-less server? [05:21] Ashfire908: you might need the xserver to be installed, but not running, so it has the gui libraries from which to run [05:21] ah okay ill try that then macogw [05:21] i got this error when i put in updatedb [05:21] updatedb: fatal error: You are not authorized to create a default slocate database! [05:21] Ashfire908: thats just a whild gues [05:21] xivanari: sudo first [05:21] xivanari: sudo updatedb [05:21] thanks for the help folks. i'll stop by again soon [05:21] oh ok [05:22] xivanari: one trick after messing up and leaving off sudo is to type "sudo !!" which repeats the last thing you did, but with sudo [05:22] Ashfire908: before coming here, I had installed xorg on the server, but that didn't really change anything [05:22] ok thgats a really huge list there [05:22] Hi - after resuming from sleep, my computer can't play videos or sound files. It works again after I remove and reinsert what seems like the sound driver module, snd_cs46xx. But videos are black and white. How can I try to fix that? [05:22] Ashfire908: and I removed it before coming her [05:22] xivanari: the search results? [05:22] yea [05:22] for a second HardDrive do i want to use ext2 or ext3? [05:23] i cant even look through all the jpg files that start with p [05:23] :D [05:23] adminz, so x11 forwarding didn't work even with xorg xserver installed? [05:23] Is there a way to see all the IP addresses of computers on the network? I'm using Ubuntu to serve DHCP addresses, and I lost a box :( [05:23] xivanari: umm what about "slocate P*.jpg | grep home" ? [05:23] lol [05:23] ok maybe P1? [05:23] nope [05:23] doesnt change anything [05:23] shit [05:23] xivanari: thatd limit the search to your home directory... [05:23] xivanari: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:24] i installed phpmyadmin but it's not in my www folder, why is that? [05:24] My modules: http://pastebin.com/d1f618887 [05:24] Ashfire908: I did a sudo aptitude install xorg on the server machine, but x forwarding didn't work then either [05:25] anyone know how to enable X11 forwarding? [05:25] anyone here good at network security??? [05:25] the DISPLAY is not set error, leads me to think it has something to do with that $DISPLAY setting on the server. In that config file, it sets display offset is 10 [05:25] or something like that [05:25] * Ashfire908 directs answers to adminz [05:25] ok [05:25] so iused gthumb to move the photos [05:25] Ashfire908: Thanks for your help [05:25] and it sayus that it moved them to the Pictures folder [05:26] adminz, sorry i couldn't get it working [05:26] but when i loo k in that folder, there isnt the pictures in there [05:26] hi [05:26] how can I find a processes id? [05:26] adminz, might this help http://suso.org/docs/shell/ssh.sdf [05:26] Ashfire908: I'm sure I messed something up before I came here, thanks a gain [05:26] ok [05:26] they just appeared [05:26] thats weird [05:26] lol [05:26] Soskel, pgrep [05:26] yay problem fixed [05:26] XD [05:26] thanks [05:26] Soskel: its the number on the left when you see the process while running "top" or "ps -e" [05:26] hey, don't know the proper etiquette for asking questions, but my home directories are gone. How do I get them back [05:26] thanks [05:26] anyone know? [05:27] yahcason: what home directories? [05:27] all of them [05:27] yahcason: like all of /home or all of /home/youruser or the /home/youruser/Videos Documents etc? [05:27] i installed phpmyadmin but it's not in my www folder, why is that? [05:27] yeah, all, I had a problem with, one sec [05:28] when does the next release of ubuntu come out?! [05:28] !hardy | crwler [05:28] crwler: hardy is Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE PRE BETA (ALPHA) SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu [05:28] crwler, i believe april [05:28] macogw: is it bad to kill an app in the middle of a process? [05:28] garrr! [05:28] Is there a way to list my dhcp clients? [05:28] hi all. How to save a password for wifi connection in Ubuntu 7.10? It lost after every reboot... (sorry for my bad eng :)) [05:29] I had a problem with a a filesystem, so I went into the fstab file and manually deleted it because it couldnt find it [05:29] hi, i just formatted a partition and (re)installed ubuntu on it, now I rebooted, but grub gave me an error 22 when booting ubuntu, and error 15 when booting windows [05:29] now I cant access any of my home directories [05:30] is something on Ubuntu's kernel that makes opengl faster? [05:31] anybody had their pc speaker just randomly uh, beep kind of? not even full beeps, sounds like squeaks kind of. [05:31] boydjd: did you check for mice? [05:32] dvn805: yep, no mice. [05:33] help me to save password for wifi plzz... I'm tired to enter it after every reboot... [05:33] thanks a ton for your help macogw [05:33] boydjd: ongoing problem? [05:33] boydjd, happens as a result of cellphone interference to me and my teachers a lot [05:33] yes, GSM phones will cause interference [05:33] boydjd, right before you receive a text or get an incoming call weird sounds happen :O [05:33] nah, my phone is across the room. even does it when it's off [05:33] CDMA phones don't, in my experience [05:34] and yes, it's an ongoing problem. [05:34] boydjd, stab your speaker [05:34] :) [05:34] yeah, unplug that bitch [05:34] eZe: http://www.uruk.org/orig-grub/errors.html says error 15 is "Error while parsing number". This could be poorly specified partition perhaps. Error 22 is "Must load Multiboot kernel before modules". [05:34] I don't even have my speaker inside connected [05:34] well the system itself is acting strange [05:34] so what can I do about it? [05:34] boydjd: sounds like a driver problem or a hardware problem [05:35] how is it acting strange? [05:35] boydjd, there are many interferences that the FCC states. radio cellphone etc [05:35] dvn805: right now i just restarted the machine, and in gnome i went to click firefox, and now gnome isn't responding, but i can still move the mouse around. [05:35] boydjd: what kind of processor, how much ram? [05:36] fanat1k, upgade to 7.10 [05:36] pg, you think it would help if I just paritition and reinstall ubuntu again? [05:36] dvn805: axp 6400+, 4GB ram, 1.5TB raid5 /home, 500GB / [05:36] eZe_: it may [05:36] boydjd: it's hard to diagnose the problem.. maybe it's a hardware issue, or maybe there's some corruption. or like pg stated, a driver problem [05:36] is there anything I can do with the live cd, maybe just reinstall grub? [05:37] jimmygoon: it is 7.10... [05:37] fanat1k, it stores your keyring passwords for wifi automatically and enters them at reboot in gutsy... there is a pam hack on ubuntuforums.org to get it for feisty but you'll have to google for it. [05:37] dvn805: i don't see anything odd in /var/log/messages or anything either. sigh. [05:37] fanat1k, oh, um, must be a bug sorry :( [05:38] eZe_: yes, use the live cd to re-install everything. During the installation, make sure the partition where grub is installed is a primary partition. [05:38] jimmygoon: maybe I need to lok for some package? Like a ...keyring-manager.. [05:38] i just notcied [05:38] grub should be installed in the same parti as ubuntu, right? [05:38] when i hear the speaker beeping [05:38] the hdd led activity light blips off. [05:38] boydjd: try backing up your important data to an internal or external drive, and reformatting your HD and doing a reinstallation === abadtooth is now known as testfire [05:39] dvn805: well everything important is on /home, which is the raid5. [05:39] eZe: not sure, but the menu.list file which specifies what to load should be on the primary partiton I think. [05:39] fanat1k, um, there is one in 7.10 by default comes with the install [05:39] also, the sqeaking sound could be a bad motherboard.. or a bios problem [05:39] eZe: I'm not an expert [05:39] try setting defaults in bios and see what happens [05:39] fanat1k, System->Administration->Keyring Manager (mine is at the top) [05:40] boydjd: it could also be that your gain is set too high - see alsa [05:40] boydjd: alsamixer [05:40] pg: will alsa do anything to the pc speaker? [05:40] Hey guys, I cannot seem to get my wireless working in Ubuntu 7.10, I have a netgear WG511T (Made is China) can anyone help me get this sorted out? [05:40] jimmygoon: thanks, I'll go to try it [05:40] boydjd: I'm not an expert, but I don't see why not [05:40] hmm [05:40] PCM gain is set at 0.0 [05:40] i installed snapshot and edited the config to backup hourly - but I don't seem to see any files in the /var/cache/rsnapshot file (where it's set to backup) - any idea whys? [05:40] which is the max [05:41] ah [05:41] item "beep" [05:41] hey boydjd: try disabling the microphone input [05:41] wow... centralized help. this is amazing. [05:41] does anybody know if it's possible to upload video to an ipod nano in linux? [05:42] heartsblood: It should be... I can upload anything to my sansa.. [05:42] dvn805: i just turned the gain down to the min on a bunch of stuff, lets see what happens hmm [05:42] testfire: easier said than done, the 3g's have an encrypted DB so getting anything on them is somewhat of a trick [05:43] heartsblood: I would install Rockbox firmware on it.. [05:43] heartsblood: are you trying to get 3gp/3g2 video into an m4v format for ipod? [05:43] Testfire: rockbox doesn't work with the 3g nano. [05:43] Hmm [05:43] hmm well [05:43] i don't hear beeping so far [05:44] what happens when a ubuntu distibution that i have installed reaches the end of its life time ? can i still get packages? [05:44] pg, how can I set the partition as primary? [05:44] mystik: 3gp? I have no idea what that is, but my question is more general. Is it possible to get video on a 3g ipod in linux yet. [05:44] baz12: you can still get packages, you just wont receive security updates [05:45] heartsblood: You say 3rg gen?http://build.rockbox.org/ [05:45] dvn805: i wonder if the microphone input (even though it's not connected to a mac) was somehow picking up the sound of the raid array i/o. [05:45] hello, does any one knows about a good full system backup software [05:45] heartsblood: 3gp and 3g2 are video types. [05:45] heartsblood: Or did you say nano? [05:45] For some reason, I'm having to literally scroll around my desktop, like my desktop doesn't fit my screen size [05:45] boydjd: it is possible that you were getting interference from something [05:45] It worked great earlier at 1400x1050, but it doesn't now for some reason [05:45] Anyone know how I can fix this? [05:45] heartsblood: as for getting an interface with your ipod for file transfer, i wouldn't know. i dislike ipods for that exact reason. [05:45] testfire: 3g nano. the one that supports video. [05:46] Rynoo: looks like for some reason xorg.conf has a virtual screen size > monitor max, you'll want to remove a line that starts with virtual I think [05:46] okay [05:46] hello and good day.. Does anyone in here know how to get Japanese IME keyboard ? I have added the language pack already [05:46] to baz12: nope, once the support cycle ends your only option is to upgrade, which the update manager will suggest [05:46] let me give that a shot [05:46] brb [05:46] hello, does any one knows about a good full system backup software [05:46] baz12: whats the motivation to stay with an old, out-of-date version? [05:46] MarcoDFW, like dd? [05:46] scguy318: im not sure for how long though. the repositories seem to disappear affter a while [05:46] Testfire: the reason rockbox doesn't work on the 3g's is because it has an encrypted DB. flashing the firmware wouldn't allow you to write to the storage device. [05:47] I don't know anyone [05:47] is dd a good one [05:47] heartsblood: Hmm well I don't know very much about ipods.. I try to stay away from anything that wont give me complete access to everything... [05:47] I would like one with a gui if possioble [05:47] !backup [05:47] There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [05:47] MarcoDFW, dd allows you copy entire partitions or entire disks, if you want. [05:47] testfire: normally I would agree but nothing out there is as small and provides the same features. and it was free [05:47] MarcoDFW, sluethkit [05:47] it has a web-based gui [05:48] heartsblood: free is good. have you consulted google on this issue? [05:48] how to update the grub while copying the file system from livecd [05:48] heartsblood: Can't beet free! but I think the sansa is something thats out there... [05:48] dd is web-based through webmin? [05:48] mystik: eventually i will not be able to run the very latest versions because my hardware wont support it and things ten to get slower and slower as versions go on! [05:48] hello? [05:48] MarcoDFW: nope [05:48] ganesh: when using install-grub there's a command-line option to specify the root fs [05:48] MarcoDFW: dd is a raw data copy tool, not really what you want [05:48] ah ok I will search the web-front end of dd then [05:49] MarcoDFW: check out the links that ubotu suggested [05:49] MarcoDFW, sluethkit [05:49] thanks I will right now [05:49] baz12: i see, no funds for new hardware? [05:49] baz12, yeah I popped in an old 5.10 live CD to play with and the repos didn't work. Your best bet is to reinstall, but if that's not feasible get an alternate CD and upgrade with it [05:49] mystik: aye, the only articles I can find are about getting the 3g to work in linux for mp3s. [05:49] THANKS a bunch to all [05:49] Does anyone know how to get wireless working in ubuntu? [05:49] heartsblood: likely if you can get one file on there, you can probably get any file copying. [05:49] mystik, i think i have to run this command throgh chroot [05:49] testfire, a supported wifi card helps [05:49] mystik: no it doens't work like that [05:49] mystik, am i correct [05:50] MarcoDFW, 'sluethkit', or whatever, isn't included in Ubuntu, though. [05:50] ganesh: yes, grub-install is a sudo command (required) [05:50] testfire my wireless started right away [05:50] grody: Netgear WG511T [05:50] mystik, i did but im getting error [05:50] ganesh: whats the error? [05:50] mystik: to get a file read by the 3g interface it has to be registered in the DB. I can use it as a thumb drive sure, but that doesn't mean a copy/pasted mp3 will play [05:50] wassa: Lucky you :P [05:50] melvin447: thanks;. i get that. but reinstalling/.upgrading every 6-12 months is a bit of a bind. each time new problems are faced to get things working again! [05:50] sorry [05:50] mystik, not able to read stage1 [05:50] I was surprised too ;) [05:50] mystik: or mkv or mpg or anything [05:51] okay [05:51] baz12. that's a common misconception, the latest releases should actually run BETTER since unlike other operating sytstems, Ubuntu gets optimized and improved with each release [05:51] mystik, im not not getting the menu.lst also [05:51] sorry I closed the window before copying the links [05:51] scguy318: Now, I can't get to 1400x1050 resolution [05:51] ganesh: you should do a full reinstall of grub, specifiying the current fs with command line parameters. it should re-create all necessary files and associations [05:51] could you please send me again the backups links [05:51] Max I can get is 1280x1024 [05:51] i would like to ask this again because I am assuming it is simple but i am not seeing it.. running version 7.10 [05:51] !backup > MarcoDFW [05:51] why the dictionary could not define one single word?? do i need to define some server? [05:51] Can soemone assist me in getting java to work [05:51] i would like to be able to type in japanese language.. anyone? [05:52] mystik, how to reinstall the grub [05:52] heartsblood: so the question is how to enter the m4v into the encrypted DB before copying the file... [05:52] baz12, didn't see your last post sorry. I guess that's why they do the long term releases, so you won't have to upgrade every 12 months [05:52] sup? [05:52] fatedkiss: Whats not working about it? [05:52] melvin447: for most upgrading/reinstalling is not too problemating. but for some it causes all sorts of problems as evindeced in the forums [05:52] mystik: yes I guess that would be more accurate [05:52] mystik, how to reinstall the grub in the copied filesystem [05:52] brb [05:52] testfire, the aps online, i installed Java 6 bin through synaptic [05:52] ganesh: from the command line run 'sudo grub-install' it will give you command line options, you'll want to set the root to the device that is your primary (booted) harddrive. eg. /dev/hda1 [05:53] testfire, everythign looked ok, but it was trying to load an app and it fialed [05:53] melvin447: yes the long term releases are a bit of a relief for me for this! [05:53] testfire, failed* [05:53] fatedkiss: runescape? [05:53] I've been trying to get ubuntu working on an old ibook laptop, and I was wondering if I could get a bit of help [05:53] I agree with that, I think the best way to upgrade is to have a separate /home partition, then do a clean install. Of course I like to tinker, for some people that's a pain I understand [05:53] heartsblood: sounds like a clincher, i'm sure someone has done it, but finding the right help files could be hard. [05:53] testfire, mozilla? [05:53] testfire, no pogo [05:53] baz12: fwiw, i am still on 6.06 ... so i can focus on work/play/whatsnot without upgrading every 6 months. now, i am looking forward to another LTS release soon. :) [05:53] fatedkiss: I meant the online app.. [05:54] mystik, grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/newpartition /dev/hda1 [05:54] testfire, yeah a game on pogo.com [05:54] fatedkiss: try the Opera browser and see if it works [05:54] mystik, this only gave an err not able to read stage1 [05:54] ganesh: it should be 'sudo grub-install --root-directory=/dev/hda1 [05:54] lkjlkj [05:55] hey all [05:55] testfire, >.> is the opera browser preinstalled on gutsy? [05:55] melvin447:+ IcemanV9 next LTS release is this year. I am still on 6.06. will have to think about moving to the next LS at some point thoug :) [05:55] ganesh: if that doesn't work, mount /dev/hda1 using the mount command, then re-run the command with the mounted point rather than /dev/hda1 [05:55] im having atrouble getting my broadcom wirelss working with gutsy [05:55] Does someone know if VMWare should generate an entry on the applications menu? [05:55] fatedkiss: And I would use the j2re1.4 packages in synaptic [05:55] mystik, i mounted & ran the command [05:55] testfire, i thaught opera was mac? ok ill try to install those as well [05:55] fatedkiss: No but just go to add/remove and search Opera [05:55] dammit [05:56] what is avahi? [05:56] Fortunately 6.06 is still supported until 2009, so people have one year to switch to the next LTS. That's a great system [05:56] lgc if it hasn't yet try restarting the panels. I think its killall gnome-panel [05:56] fatedkiss: Opera is multi platform [05:56] testfire, ill try that as a last resort no offence i just like firefox [05:56] scguy318: Something isn't right. damm. [05:56] testfire, thanks for the help [05:56] baz12: also, you can upgrade from 6.06 to 8.04 ( only LTS to LTS ); is that super? i hope it won't bork during the upgrade process [05:56] ganesh: i'd recommend taking the specific error code to the support sites specific to grub. [05:56] ArthurArchnix, thanks, I'll do that. [05:57] 8.04 is the next LTS version? [05:57] IcemanV9, wow I didn't know that you could go from 6.06 to 8.04, that's great news [05:57] mystik, tell the grub support site [05:57] fatedkiss: Java may not work correctly if you have more than one version of it installed by the way. [05:57] yes mystik, 8.04 will be LTS [05:57] IcemanV9: me too! lool [05:57] ganesh: you'll have to search for it. [05:57] does gutsy work with wpa? [05:57] mystik, ok thanks [05:57] can i boot with a boot dvd??? [05:57] fatedkiss: all I know is that java games work for me in the opera web browser and not in Firefox. [05:58] IcemanV9: i hope my maching can cope with the new fangled 3d desktop stuff theyve got on it too! lol [05:58] toucansam: yes. ubuntu will boot from dvd. [05:58] ok cool. cause my cds are not working [05:58] toucansam: the ubuntustudio version is just larger than a full CD, it has to be booted from DVD disk. [05:58] melvin447: baz12: i will definitely test the upgrade from 6.06 to 8.04 on the test box before i do it on the real box (of course, i backup the real box) [05:59] what is the studio version??? is it better than the usual one? [05:59] craptasticles: what is that? [05:59] kuchcha: wireless encryption [05:59] wpa encryption, i think [05:59] toucansam: it has specifics for creating audio/video and 3D as necessary. other than that, it uses the same repositories and applications as the standard ubuntu [05:59] I am trying to determine what version of xubuntu I have. does anyone know how to do this? [05:59] ArthurArchnix, you were right, thanks. [05:59] baz12: i am sure it will ... test it with livecd, though. [05:59] ah [05:59] toucansam: i believe you can get it at ubuntustudio.com ... but don't quote me. [05:59] craptasticles: so what should i do now... [06:00] IcemanV9: i think i wll wait a little while after the release comes out and see how it goes then just throw caution wo the wind ! [06:00] mystik: should i get it? [06:00] haha [06:00] craptasticles: i have even tried compiling ndiswrapper from source [06:00] grrrr.. [06:00] jimmygoon: are u here? [06:00] toucansam: i enjoy it, but i do more multimedia than most people. [06:00] craptasticles: nothing seems to work [06:00] how the hell can you type in the enhanced language [06:00] IcemanV9: ou're right must test with live cd first [06:00] hey [06:00] i need help [06:00] baz12: same here. i usually wait for a month or two before i could do the upgrade [06:00] ah. well i do most of my video stuff on Final Cut Studio 2. so i'm set with that [06:00] lgc Cool. No worries. [06:00] Hey Ashfire908 I got it working! [06:01] Wyrmul there should be an about menu under the system menu [06:01] Hey people! How to make gnome-keyring to save wifi password? [06:01] kuchcha: I have no idea. I'm trying to get mine to work. [06:01] adminz, yay! [06:01] patience is the virtue for the success [06:01] does anyone in here know how to type in another language? [06:01] how do you add to favorites in x-chat?? [06:01] craptasticles: haha....good luck [06:01] I changed and hid my ssid and encrypted it with wpa but it still detects the old ssid. What's the deal? [06:01] ya ich! [06:01] fatedkiss, first have a look at the "about:plugins" page in firefox if and what version of javaplugin shows up, second you should check your configured java version to be the right one with "sudo update-alternatives --config java" [06:02] wassa: wie gehts? [06:02] craptasticles, I don't think network manager works with hidden ssids. AKAIK. I could be wrong about that. [06:02] No I only have about xfce and it doesn't have any info on the ubuntu build [06:02] does anyone have experience in making ubuntu work with broadcom 4312 wireless? [06:02] toucansam: i installed a simmilar application to adobe premiere studio called cinelerra. it's a linux only video mixing program. i havn't had the chance to run it, but it looks nice. [06:02] Ashfire908: I did three things, not sure what one was the reason. I restarted the server(hadn't been restarted in 45 days), which needed to be done to restart sshd, I added a X11UseLocalHost line and a TCP forwarding line in sshd_config, and I used -Y instead of -X [06:02] wyrmul: i'm not familliar with xfce. sorry. [06:02] fanat1k, no [06:02] mystik: oh nice. does it have the equivelant to Motion 3? cause i love working with that [06:02] wie gehts?? what is that? [06:02] fanat1k, sorry, I'm going to bed, the woot sucks [06:02] wassa: german [06:03] toucansam, i'm not familliar with that program, so i couldn't say. [06:03] adminz, -Y bypasses some secutiry protocals i think [06:03] no.. like the japanese language script.. hiragana [06:03] IcemanV9 : yeah, in the 6.06 they released an updated 6.06_1 cd a few months later to reudce the bugs so its worth waiting a bit [06:03] i guess comming here was a waste of time [06:03] esp since 7.10 is supposed to be a LTS [06:03] can i get amsn fonts to look nicer?? [06:03] mystik: its an animating application thats.... hard to explain. but 3 is in 3d. lots of effects... particle emitters... etc [06:04] * kuchcha requests attention [06:04] Ashfire908: Alright, thanks for the help though [06:04] adminz, to restart sshd just use /etc/init.d/ssh restart [06:04] restate you question Metal-Maniac-Mat [06:04] has anyone wrked with broadcom wirlees 4312 on ubuntu gutsy [06:04] how do i add favorites in x-chat [06:04] like you can do in mIRC [06:04] toucansam: i didn't install the 3D creation option. so it may. when i installed the audio/video option, i ended up with more utilities than i knew what to do with, so if thats any indication, it should do fine. [06:04] Metal-Maniac-Mat, try joining the x-chat channel ... [06:04] im new to the whole linux thing [06:04] wassa: the keyboard for those types of languages have 'sound' keys instead of letter keys, and the computer interprets the 'sound' as characters [06:04] toucansam: it's also a fully-featured version of ubuntu, so there's no harm in getting the extra. [06:05] ok [06:05] yeah exactly.. you enter su.. and interprets that sound [06:05] mystik: hrm... sounds nice. but the dvd is already burning. oh well... [06:05] I'll be damned. [06:05] __Hey people! How to make gnome-keyring to save WIFI password? [06:05] toucansam: it's good. you know about it now, so you can try it later if you wish. [06:05] yup [06:06] so.... how do you get that working? I have added japanese language.. added charcter support.. and added a japanse keyboard.. no luck [06:06] by the way, anyone know how to fix the dual-boot problem after installing vista?? [06:06] i have like 4 diff passable java installed, currently trying j2se [06:06] archiesomething: thanks. I didn't even think about broadcasting the ssid. WPA should be good enough, right? [06:06] Metal-Maniac-Mat, http://www.xchat.org/docs/ [06:07] ok [06:07] toucansam.. have you been able to output any asian characters? [06:07] ill have a look [06:07] Metal-Maniac-Mat: try the x-chat forums. if the docks don't have the answer. that would be your best bet IMO [06:07] hello [06:07] wassa: nope thats just what i heard from asian ppl when i went to china [06:07] thnx alot guys... very helpfull... lets hope i get an answer [06:07] fanat1k, At least in Feisty, you had to choose a keyring password that was the same as your login password for it to be fully automated at login. Not sure if that's still the case. [06:08] lol [06:08] Is there anyone here who may be able to help me out? [06:08] only if you have food [06:08] I do have food [06:08] ok shoot [06:08] !ask | JFactor [06:08] JFactor: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [06:09] but you have to submit it in the next 5 seconds... [06:09] 4 [06:09] 3 [06:09] 2 [06:09] 1 [06:09] 0 [06:09] toucansam: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:09] ha [06:09] lol [06:09] haha too bad times up no questions [06:09] Hi, I'm terrible with the command line. I'm trying to copy a file. I typed "sudo cp /media/cdrom0/MEM48U1.50/WinXp /etc/sane.d" and it gave me "cp: omitting directory `/media/cdrom0/MEM48U1.50/WinXp'" What did I do wrong? [06:09] I was experimenting with the screens and graphics in Gutsy, and I tried to share the monitor, however I am now stuck in 640x480, how can I fix this? [06:09] Should have started counting at 3 [06:09] ArthurArchnix: but there is no key for wifi in gnome-keyring [06:09] does anyone know why the terminal through the Gnome GUI is crashing? [06:09] eTranquility: cp -R [06:10] (i'm running ubuntustudio 7.10) [06:10] mystik, when does it crash,.,. do u have the chance to type a command? [06:10] maybe i should restart my pc to get linux to work with java? [06:10] bod_ no. [06:10] bod_ as soon as it starts it closes. there's no error or explination [06:10] fatedkiss: ...? spent a lot of time with windows huh? [06:10] mystik: yes we know about your goddamn ubuntustudio and all your faancy shaancy video editing apps so stop bragging! hahaha [06:11] fanat1k, It should remember your password once you type it in, if that's what you mean. Once a month mine seems to forget it... but otherwise. [06:11] How can I get out of 640x480 [06:11] oh,. i was gonna suggest opening a terminal frm a terminal to see an error,.,. im not sure how to/ if u can reinstall terminal? [06:11] I go to resolution settings and that is all I can choose [06:11] toucansam: i love you too. ;) [06:11] Thanks. [06:11] JFactor, try this : dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [06:11] ianm1, yeha im getting more comfortable with linux, i just dont know how i can go through like 5 diff versions of java and it stil not work [06:11] herhe [06:12] hehe* [06:12] goddamn r [06:12] JFactor, You have to either add the resolutions you want into your xorg file manually, or do a dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and pray to the X gods.

I just confirmed that network manager can't handle ESSID. You'll have to use a different program. But seriously, ESSID is no protection. If someone can crack your WPA hidden SSID won't slow them down. Just use normal SSID and WPA [06:16] how do I install bison, texinfo, patch, gawk on ubuntu?

[06:30] first one removes the module for the current session, but it will be back next boot. the blacklist will get rid of if permanently. you could just do the second one and reboot [06:30] rahal, what that's doing is completely removing the pcspeaker sound module so that the bell has no effect -- what i did was stop the bell, the difference is mine only works for one user, his works for all users [06:30] fatedkiss, bak,.,. hows it goin?

[07:27] un_op: any advice? [07:27] ahh nvm there it goes [07:28] i want to have my server ignore the dns servers provided by the ISP when dialing, and use others instead. i got wvdial set up not to use the dns servers provided but how do i set default ones [07:28] snookie_, no real luck here, i've checked the web, no luck there too, i'm trying to see if i can replicate the problem on my machie [07:29] why computer sometime doesn't make any sense.. few minutes ago, i tried turn on my PC, but the monitor is blank.. there is no beep! then i test changing the memory slot to other.. and my monitor is turn on again. [07:29] un_op: original problem stemmed from me fucking up. I accidentalyl deleted /usr/bin but ctrl C'd it in the middle. It was an error on my part with relative and absolute locations. I installed a copy of gutsy in a virtual machine, and copied the one missing directory from the virtual machine to my install /usr/bin [07:30] !language | snookie_ [07:30] snookie_: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [07:30] un_op: I wrote a script to compare the two directory structures on both machines and print out the differences [07:30] un_op: I copied the rest of the missing files but my python was broken after that, everyhing else luckily worked [07:30] un_op: sorry for the language [07:31] snookie_, maybe you could try purging and reinstalling python then - but that might bring down a lot of the other packages too - but it's probably the only thing you can do now [07:31] un_op: that's how I got heree [07:32] snookie_, did you reinstall python? [07:32] un_op: yes it deleted most of my applications [07:32] yeah but now aptitude -f install just gives me the results you saw on the nopaste site [07:32] ok heres a strange one. I installed ubuntu 7.10 for someone and sent them the computer. They turned it on, worked fine and I was explaining how to set up passwords etc for wireless networking. Then I got them to type "ifconfig". The bash prompt seemed to hang for a long time so they rebooted the computer. Now it won't even reboot! It hangs on "setting up cups ...." I have tried getting them to restart several times and ctrl-alt-F2 to go into a [07:33] hey [07:33] I have a question. [07:34] Is there a GNOME program that when I press a key, it will display the hex decimal value? [07:34] I'm trying to fix my PS2 controller USB plugin, and trying to do it manually. [07:34] you want the hexidecimal equivalant of a keyboard key? [07:34] well [07:34] Of my PS2 controller's buttons. [07:34] I can't get them to map right. [07:35] I think you might be able to do it with cat... I remember doing that with the mouse in my gentoo install [07:35] is there a way to copy all files from on folder to next without copying the folder being kept in in bash [07:35] cat /dev/xxxx [07:35] and than it printed to the screen the output of the mouse [07:35] lemme look check [07:35] lemme check* [07:35] snookie_, doesn't look good -- what i reckon is happening is that python is depending on an external utility (from another package) for it's os.readlink() call, and that utility might not be in /usr/bin -- only, i dont know enough python to troubleshoot this -- you could try with the guys in #python [07:36] hm [07:36] How do I find out which one is my PS2 controller? [07:36] un_op: I really appreciate all your help [07:36] un_op: again sorry for the language [07:37] any ubuntu staff here? [07:37] snookie_, no worries, it's just that we have kids and women (and christians :) ) come in here [07:37] un_op: = / thought it was just engineers [07:37] un_op: = P [07:37] Mr__ whatever it is we can help ubuntu is mostly community based === _max is now known as max` [07:38] its a trademark question [07:38] snookie_, engineers? yea, they are here, but never say anything :) [07:38] un_op: until they accidintally delete their /usr/bin directory = P [07:38] i need help with the proper syntax to force a file to install [07:39] flamesage: you might try xev [07:39] snookie_, ahh, but they have tape-drives whirring constantly, all they need do is unwhirr :) [07:39] rofl [07:39] un_op: [Samba] "detlef@MD97600:/etc/samba$ testparm -s /etc/samba/smb.conf; ... ; guest ok = Yes". Why does http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/31519 say: "You don't have enough permissions to access smb://md97600/freigegebenMD/config"? [07:40] xev? [07:40] What is that? [07:40] im trying jxcalibrator [07:40] program that detects inputs in a window, normally used to test mice with lots of buttons === ogre is now known as ogre1995 [07:41] bullgard4, it's probably due the same problem -- try passing the username and password to smbget === ogre1995 is now known as imbecile [07:41] okay thats good im doing good now i have another problem:: i have a broadcom chipset for my wireless but its not detecting it right i want to remove that driver. Im using ubuntu 6.06 and i wish to use the ndiswrapper instead so if i can remove the broadcom driver that would be great. I have looked in synaptic for bcm but theres nothing [07:41] ok this is making me mad :( [07:42] Joystick Calibrator detects it [07:42] But I can't configure it in PSx. === imbecile is now known as ogre [07:43] i dont know what happen i have another problem my comuter has a broad com chipset and ubuntu 6.06 reconises it but sets it up incorrectly how can i remove this? [07:43] hi can anyone help with chroot? i cant seem to boot into my system after changing some partitions [07:43] Hmm this is interesting [07:43] appears that even my keyboard isn't working >_> [07:43] hello [07:43] if your keyboard isn't working how are you typing [07:43] YALex: what is the problem? [07:43] Do you guys know of any playstation emulators that can sucessfully emulate a PSX controller? [07:44] I'm using the kubuntu live cd [07:44] anyone familliar with bluetooth. i can't seem to get my keyboard to work [07:44] and attempting to chroot into the right partition but it's saying cannot run command `/bin/bash: not a directory [07:44] flamesage: I'd just go get an xbox controller : ) they work better with computers [07:44] x_x [07:44] the thing works [07:44] The emulator just can't.. map the keys [07:45] are you sure your keyboard is plugged in [07:45] lol [07:45] Do you guys recomend another one? [07:45] ... yes [07:45] It's a laptop [07:45] oh oh [07:45] what kind of laptop [07:45] I once had a laptop with its keyboard unplugged on purpose [07:45] brand etc? [07:45] morning [07:45] friend [07:45] -_- [07:46] I'm typing right now arn't I? [07:46] you could be using the on screen keyboard [07:46] -_- [07:46] No... [07:46] yes [07:46] your typing [07:46] Anyway, do you guys know of another emulator that works properly? [07:46] lol [07:46] well zsnes works good but not for ps games [07:46] emulator for what [07:46] j joomla [07:47] ps1 [07:47] damn keyboard [07:47] lol [07:47] it's a lame dell laptop, sorry :) [07:47] you want to screw up your linux system [07:47] then play games [07:47] with emulators [07:47] lol [07:48] hey guys sorry i might be asking wrong but, i just installed ubuntu 6.06 and i have a wireless card using the broadcom chip set ubuntu 6.06 reconizes it but wont set it up correctly so i was wondering if there is anyway to remove the driver or device so i can set it up with ndiswrapper. I checked synaptic and cant find bcm i find wireless-tools and ndiswrapper and libiw some other stuff but not bcm [07:48] YALex: could you give me the exact command line you are using? [07:48] sudo chroot /media/root [07:48] can anyone help me reset an irc password? [07:48] /nickerv help [07:48] i've tried chroot /media/root /bin/bash too [07:49] YALex: wow you need to read some docs [07:49] I've mounted and everything else [07:49] which ones? [07:49] YALex: do you know what /bin/bash is? [07:49] yeah the shell [07:49] YALex: /bin/bash is shell [07:49] i realise [07:49] i was reading the forums and they suggested the second command [07:50] hjg [07:50] chroot /media/root doesn't work [07:50] YALex: why are you trying to chroot [07:50] to try and fix up whatever's stopping my system from booting [07:50] YALex: normally you don't have to chroot [07:51] YALex: try to mount your partitions instead [07:51] there was a suggestion in the forum to run apt-get install kubuntu-minimal how can i run on my system if i can't chroot in? [07:51] phade do you know how to remove that bcm driver? i asked above [07:51] YALex: in case they are not mounted yet, and then look at files /etc/fstab [07:51] YALex: well what did you do to the partitions so it won't boot [07:51] im using the live cd [07:52] family: hold on I'll answer to YALex first [07:52] k [07:52] :) [07:52] created a new partition [07:52] un_op: not any help over there, they want me to ask, what's the real way of recovering files [07:52] did you delete an old one? [07:52] soldats: if i type /nickserv help or /help nickserv neither gives me an answer [07:52] no [07:52] they're all there [07:52] so just the partition numbers changed? [07:52] ??? [07:52] partition numbers stayed the same ubuntu is still in /dev/sda7 [07:53] /boot is /dev/sda3 [07:53] so how does it fail to boot [07:53] sorry..I don't understand [07:53] it brings up busybox [07:53] hello [07:54] am I connect with you? [07:54] YALex: /etc/fstab looks correct? [07:54] YALex: hmm ok, so you can get to grub? [07:55] grub loads the initial menu and thats it [07:55] YALex: have you started the kernel with quiet and splash off so you can see where it fails? === wa is now known as warrend [07:55] not yet [07:55] you know how to? [07:56] whats the command? [07:56] im in the command line [07:56] on the grub selection hit "e" on the kernel entry, delete out quiet and splash, hit enter then "b" [07:56] how to call the screensaver in fluxbox? [07:56] family: try lsmod - it shows you all the kernel modules (which also include drivers) [07:56] yalex i think you have to do it when your at the grub menu press f6 [07:57] thats right [07:57] phade thanks [07:57] phade then what [07:57] once i disconnect from here im on my own [07:57] :( i have to swap out the computer with the other one :) [07:57] or you can just edit the entry in the grub config [07:58] family: and then see modprbe.conf [07:58] family: and modprobe.d [07:58] snookie_, well, I think it's past recovery here unless you want to go through some recovery process (undeletion) for your filesystem .. but that doesnt guarantee anything -- best thing to do is reinstall over this system [07:58] then erase the line containing the driver? [07:59] target filesystem doesn't have /sbin/init [07:59] family: well I would suggest commenting it out first [07:59] YALex: not good [07:59] family: and then delete if you solve the problems [07:59] YEAAAHH! [07:59] L000000000000L [07:59] aright ill be back in a bit [07:59] snookie_, it shouldnt take too long -- make a list of installed packages, backup the important config files .. and then when reinstalling make sure you dont format the partitions [08:00] family: L0000000000000000000000000000000000000000L [08:00] :) [08:00] the forum advised to boot the live cd and chroot in [08:00] which is where i get that not a directory error [08:00] if you don't have /sbin/init you prob don't have /sbin/bash or your / changed partion number [08:00] FUCKIN SHEET! [08:00] N1C3 [08:00] i have only one power cord one keyboard and mouse one monitor two computers doesnt work so well [08:00] NehaLeM, watch the language!! [08:00] so im off to mess up some thing else :P [08:00] un_op: I don't have to format my / directory? [08:01] un_op: KISS ME THE PEIN. [08:01] !ops | NehaLeM [08:01] NehaLeM: Help! Channel emergency!

[08:01] snookie_, you dont no [08:01] YALex: nvm meant /bin/bash [08:01] thanks un_op [08:01] Seveas, no worries [08:01] un_op: what happens in that situation? all my config files get over ridden? does it detect my home directories? [08:01] which i mounted i saw /bin/bash there [08:01] when i mounted rather [08:03] YALex: sry im a little confused I don't see how adding a new partition could kill /sbin/init but not /bin/bash unless you have /bin and /sbin on different partitions [08:03] i'm confused too [08:03] YALex: my suggestion would be to save your home directory and reinstall [08:03] snookie_, well, you need to make backups of the important configuration files(in /etc/, etc) that you might have made changes to .. because they'll be overwritten .. but if you copy them back after the reinstall,y ou should have everything the way it was before the reinstall [08:03] homes on a separate partition [08:04] well if home is on a seperate partition its easy to reinstall : ) [08:04] snookie_, your /home and others directory will remain intact [08:04] un_op: do I have to re-install programs? [08:05] YALex: I am sure you can fix it, but I think the effort outweighs reinstalling unless you have a bunch of custom compiled programs or the kernel [08:05] hmm [08:05] YALex: I just don't know how or don't have enough info [08:05] snookie_, yes you do -- which is why i suggested making a list of the installed programs currently with - dpkg -l | cut -c 3-30 > ~/dpkg-l .. after the reinstall do this - sudo aptitude install $(cat ~/dpkg-l) [08:05] YALex: but can you mount your partitions? [08:05] yep [08:06] YALex: and see if any crucial configuration file is messed up? [08:06] un_op: ahhh awesome, I'll probably have to re-install everything though since when I did apt-get remove --purge python, it deleted everything. Will that method keep my mysql databases? [08:07] snookie_, the databases should remain intact .. but your mysql configuration files will need backing-up and restoring [08:07] which config files should i look at? [08:07] does gutsy come packaged with java? [08:08] un_op: okay, I have regular backups of my etc directory and web directories, I thought I'd have to reformat though, I really appreciate all your help [08:08] okay lol [08:08] un_op: I'm always worried I'll miss something [08:08] nkriz: no but it is pretty easy to install [08:08] sorry for lol but seriously where is the modprobe.d [08:08] snookie_, well, you're there then -- reinstall and restore the /etc directory .. should be ok [08:08] i did the lsmod and found bcm43xx [08:09] travisat: can i use synaptic, or can you recommend a page to look for install instructions? [08:09] un_op: thank you so much [08:09] (very new to linux, sorry) [08:09] un_op: really, thank you, I'm so appreciative of your help [08:09] snookie_, well, i'm sympathetic to your predicament .. but do us a favour and report back if this is a success, we'll try and make a wiki so others can benefit [08:09] im trying to get it phade but im havin problems [08:09] #launchpad is the deadest channel ever [08:09] snookie_, yw [08:09] nkriz: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java [08:09] family: actually I am not absolutely sure that ubuntu has modprobe.d [08:09] brilliant, thank you [08:09] family_: using opensuse right now [08:09] aww [08:10] it has a folder modprobe.d in etc [08:10] snookie_, remember _Do not_ format ;) [08:10] but i dont know the file to look in to comment out the line [08:10] family_: yes the folder modprobe.d that has all the files that modprobe.conf includes [08:11] family_: cd to modprobe.d [08:11] i did that and looked in aliases couldnt see anything [08:11] family_: and then grep -ir bcm ./* [08:11] aww [08:11] k ill try that [08:11] family_: learn to use grep, it is crucial linux knowledge [08:12] k ill be back again im sure [08:12] family_: well not only linux actually :) [08:12] un_op: I'm sorry my method for repairing my /usr/ directory was not fool proof, I would have definitely posted the howto, but yes, I will look for you when this is reinstalled this weekend, thanks again [08:12] :) [08:12] phade thank you for helping me ill be back to let you know if it worked [08:12] Anyone know how I can disable ALT Space in GNOME to show that menu window but instead bring up Katapult ? [08:12] family_: good luck :) [08:13] what would chroot `bin/bash': Not a directory mean? [08:13] bash is not a directory [08:13] can anyone recommend a version of the 'Risk' board game for ubuntu? preferably a networkable version? [08:13] drgeb, have you looked at the 'keyboard shortcuts' thing? [08:14] yeh i know so why would it say it? [08:14] yep but does not work [08:14] nkriz: type in risk linux in google [08:14] the only one i've found is jaba dependant [08:14] *java [08:14] ah so that is why you wanted java [08:14] drgeb, what did you try? [08:15] nkriz: and what is the problem with java? [08:15] I disabled what it was set to for I believe Activate Window menu [08:15] then i read the whole section on 'the java trap', so now i look for another [08:15] http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/java-trap.html [08:16] blayde so in the list that comes up I don't see anymore ALT Space entry [08:16] just curious, if there isn't a non-java dependent version, i'll use the one i found [08:16] nkriz: try xfrisk? [08:16] nkriz: tried searching synaptic for risk? [08:16] YALex: did you see /etc/fstab? [08:16] drgeb, does alt-space still do anything? [08:17] blayde however ALT Space still pops up a menu [08:17] nkriz: if you are looking for a linux game I usually find the best place to start is www.happypenguin.org [08:17] thanks all, that gives me many places to look [08:17] blayde just noticed that alt-space when a window is not selected does nothing and when any window or app is seletced it brings up the menu [08:17] drgeb, is your window manager metacity? have you tried restarting the x server? [08:17] greetings [08:18] how do i determine if its metacity ? [08:18] nkriz: I would type in google : best risk game for linux and see what comes up :) [08:19] i have a rather slight (hah) problem. during a "dist-upgrade" (when adept was updating and said new distro is available), the process stalled (at the stage of installing new apps or something). [08:19] hmmm, hadn't tried that [08:19] nkriz: besides probably you could also use most of the Risks for windows too :) [08:19] drgeb, i guess a better question would be if you've turned on special desktop effect... [08:19] I being the idiot, restarted after 20 minutes of no progress (stuck at 0% in the bar). [08:19] does anyone know if kernel 2.6.24 was already included in ubuntu 8.04?? [08:19] When I try to install Gutsy, I get to the ubuntu splash screen, and select install, and my monitor then goes to sleep. I heard there were some problems with radeon cards (which I have).. has anyone else experienced this? [08:19] blayde I did try restarting xserver CTRL ALT BackSpace [08:19] nkriz: with wine you can play many windows games to [08:19] how will i be able to undo the damages? [08:19] nkriz: but since this is linux channel forget that I said that :p [08:19] Evenin' folks [08:20] drgeb, you can tell if it's metacity with ps -A | grep metacity [08:20] hehe. i was hoping to find something native, but if worse comes to worst i'll wine what i've got [08:20] thanks though [08:20] dpkg --configure -a gives an error message that i have no idea what to do with [08:20] vlayde its compiz [08:20] blayde its compiz [08:21] how does one uninstall google earth when installed from the binary provided by google? [08:21] can i start the whole update process from scratch? [08:21] I just did a new install on my dell laptop with Ubuntu... it seems my touchpad moves very slowly.. I've changed the sensativity and everything up to max.. is there some other way I can speed my pointer up?? [08:21] Aquahallic, I have that problem on my sony vaio. I never figured out a way to fix it [08:21] drgeb, i know there is supposed to be a gconf backend for compiz to use the controls from 'keyboard shortcuts' [08:21] nkriz: actually I am 80% sure that there is linux version of risk that would suit you :) [08:22] When I try to install Gutsy, I get to the ubuntu splash screen, and select install, and my monitor goes black. I heard there were some problems with radeon cards (which I have).. has anyone else experienced this? [08:22] drgeb, perhaps it's looking elsewhere for the config... [08:22] nkriz: there are amazing things for linux if you search a little :) [08:22] i'm searching now, and feeling pretty stupid because there's about 8 million versions. drinking + computers = idiot in channel [08:22] nkriz: like recently I found that there actually is something like autokey for linux :) [08:23] so, can you restart an update process that was interrupted by a reboot? [08:23] sorry autohotkey [08:23] nkriz: drinking + linux = fun in the morning [08:24] hey, can someone help me with ubuntu installation [08:24] yeah, when i wake up and my comp doesn't work anymore [08:24] trying to remember if i installed bad things or just spilled beer on it [08:25] dvn805: whats wrong [08:25] atm0sph: does'nt it have readme how to uninstall? [08:25] travisat: when I get to the splash screen, I select Install.. and then my screen goes black and that's it.. nothing happens [08:26] phade, not that I know [08:26] phade, it came as a .bin file - I had to chmod +x then I ran it and it installed fine [08:26] dvn805: 2 options 1) download the alternate install cd or redownload the regular one, or press f6 and remove the quiet and splash options [08:26] it'snot listed in synaptic tho [08:26] travisat: even when trying to do a test for cd defects, it didn't work [08:27] could be your cd is messed up or that it is having problems loading video driver or other drivers [08:27] atm0sph: try googling [08:27] atm0sph: ...next time [08:27] no, because I downloaded it before , probably like two times in the past.. and I remember having the same problem [08:27] atm0sph: http://groups.google.com/group/earth-linux/browse_thread/thread/87e6cb2ef18ee50d [08:27] atm0sph: took about 3 seconds [08:28] and read somewhere about radeon driver problems.. and I have a radeon card.. do you know anything about that? [08:28] dvn805: google does not help? [08:28] nope I went nvidia a long time ago because it works better in linux [08:28] phade: there's a reason i'm on irc [08:28] I hope that changes soon with the api being openned but who knows [08:29] drgeb, good luck w/ your tweaking - i need sleep [08:29] dvn805: I would definitely try the alternate install iso [08:29] hi, i have a problem, for example now in x-chat when the cursor is in the chat text box and i press the left arrow key and the cursor is already the left most position the screen blinqs, repaints itself [08:29] hi, I have problem with Ubuntu 7.10 that uses too much memory. it uses 600MB, and another distribution that I use vmware it uses only 400MB. how can I check what could be the problem? [08:29] dxdemetriou_: no problem at all [08:29] dvn805: have you tried running a live knoppix disk on that machine? [08:29] Here are other people experiencing the same problem: http://www.ubuntux.org/black-screen [08:30] dxdemetriou_: you may try 'top' and check what is using so much memory [08:30] phade, when I do that it comes up with a "Click the program you'd like to uninstall" dialogue an dthere's nothing to click on [08:30] no, i have not tried knoppix [08:30] so does anyone have any experience with restarting ubuntu during a dist upgrade ? [08:31] i know very little, but it might be a good idea to try it once just to make sure it's a software issue [08:31] dxdemetriou_: linux tends to use a lot of memory for caching, unless you are having real problems running stuff don't worry about it [08:31] atm0sph: hmm but have you looked into installer script that you used to install the thing [08:31] atm0sph: there you should see where it installs [08:31] phade, no.. I used a binary to install it.. it decompressed itself and everything [08:32] phade, oh there we go [08:32] phade, it was a path issue.. my bad. Thank you. Sorry I'm retarded. [08:32] atm0sph: np :) [08:33] travisat, the problem is that I can't use virtual machines like before. is this a problem about memory leak with current Gnome? before I could run 2 and 3 vms without problem but now I can't use even one. I said about virtual machines to show the problem I have. [08:34] I forgot to say, I use the 64 bit version [08:34] dxdemetriou_: ah ok sry I don't know much about vms good luck though [08:36] Is there a standard location to store things like changing the vm overcommit limit? [08:37] 64 bit uses many memory than 32 bit? [08:38] dxdemetriou_: try running without gnome to see if gnome is the problem? [08:38] is there a way to edit the "Places" menu? [08:39] dxdemetriou_: from the failsafe terminal or some lightweight desktop [08:39] phade, the good I have installed others too. I'll try and see. [08:39] thanks all for help :) [08:42] dxdemetriou_: no problemo [08:43] hey [08:43] im having a dew problems [08:43] is there a way to delete the files in a directory but not the directory itself [08:44] first of all, the nvidia-glx drivers dont seem to work all that well on my Dell Inspiron 1720 [08:44] quaal: rm foobar/* [08:44] hi all [08:44] and also the booting hangs a little bit (30 secs) on loading cupsd drivers or whatever [08:44] hello [08:44] i just installed ubuntu 7.10 on ps3 [08:45] genius: good for you [08:45] i am having problems with the internet [08:45] thanks trav [08:45] quaal: cd into the directory and type rm -f ./* [08:45] quaal: but make sure that you do don't type rm -f / :) [08:46] phade, heh yea [08:46] quaal: oh yah the foobar is ajust a place holder and you can use -f if you want to [08:46] yea i got it [08:46] thanks [08:46] -f is too overpowered [08:46] so any help, also i get errors that gstream cant find any devices [08:47] so no sound! [08:47] travisat: probably :) [08:48] also, i have an ipod 3g, what do i use to use it? [08:48] bazhang: hi , there? [08:48] travisat: but I hate confirmation dialogs when I am sure what I am doing [08:49] phade: I hate being sure of what I am doing, then being wrong : ) [08:49] travisat: yeah thats true too :) [08:49] * rootborn can some one help with my wireless of my laptop? [08:51] travisat: good way to be sure is to try some nondestructive operation first :) [08:51] travisat: like ls ./* [08:51] true [08:52] but then again I usually know what I am doing, I just amke a typo or something [08:52] please can some one help me out with wireless of my laptop [08:52] ? [08:52] rootborn: what is the problem? [08:52] phade, my wireless doesn't work [08:52] hmm this is wierd I was browsing in firefox, hit an extra mouse button and made everything backwords [08:52] rootborn: describe the exact problem then you have much more chance getting answers [08:53] ah ok [08:53] rootborn: It is completely useless information that your laptop does not work [08:53] phade, if I know whats the problem I can fix it [08:53] but I don't know [08:54] maby you can help me out with some commands [08:54] phade i blacklisted bcm43xx but now when i do the ndiswrapper it wont show me my wireless card this is what i did sudo ndiswrapper -i driver.inf then sudo ndiswrapper -l driver installed, hardware present then i did sudo modprobe ndiswrapper then went to the networking area and i dont see the wireless card? [08:54] hello everyone [08:54] travisat: right-click menu.. last option is 'switch page direction' .. makes all the text right-justified? [08:54] zcat[1]: yep [08:55] family: sorry no experience with ndiswrapper [08:55] zcat[1]: one of my extra mouse buttons right clicks [08:55] oh man [08:55] family: but google around [08:55] ola [08:55] k [08:55] amigos [08:55] why 7.10 is such a crap? had to go back to 7.04. [08:56] can some one help me out with my wireless with some commands or someting to find a way to make it work? [08:56] Marzata: I dunno what you are talking about [08:56] hello all [08:56] travisat: but I know. [08:56] Marzata: there is nothing wrong with 7.10 [08:57] 7.10 is buggy and unstable [08:57] hmm actually I had some problems with hal but once they were solved no more problems [08:57] 7.04 is working after the install, while 7.10 after the install we start to repair it [08:58] there is plenty wrong with 7.10 .. broken printer support, a crap printer dialog compared to 7.04 (imho) .. mixer settings make it nearly impossible to figure out what input is active, or how to set the levels for it.. [08:59] hmm yes it could be that I usually don't like out of the box solutions anyway and reconfigure most of the thins :) [08:59] I have found 7.10 very buggy compared to 7.04.. I really hope 8.04 is a lot better! [08:59] the same with us [08:59] 7.10 is a nightmare for us and our users [09:00] well to be honest I haven't had any problems with it yet, but I don't use a printer, and I haven't really bothered with the gnome config tools [09:01] permissions for quite a number of printers are wrong; you set the printer up and it just puts every job 'on hold' -- took me days to figure out why and how to fix it!! [09:01] wait thats not true I had problems installing it [09:01] wouldn't detect my hard drive, had to install windows on it first and then it would [09:01] asshole [09:01] ... [09:02] anyone know how to restore a thunderbird profile? [09:02] this guide is saying its in ~/.thunderbird [09:02] though I have to say, it's still a world ahead of windows :) [09:02] but nothings showing up when i restore it [09:02] it wasn't only ubuntu though, my debian install cd wouldn't detect my hd [09:02] zcat[1] Marzata if you guys don't like it then thats your problem and I have not been a linux user for very long but most of my first time into was very easy [09:02] we use linux here since 1994 [09:02] how do i edit the kboot.conf [09:03] and unix since ... well most of you havent been born [09:03] genius, nano [09:03] genius use gedit or nano [09:03] quaal sry i meant where can i find it [09:03] Are you soon gonna fix this annoying keyring problem in Ubuntu 7.10, or is gonna be like Windows: be there to make us jump over to another distro? [09:03] keyring problem? [09:03] salah frankly window problem it's to damn buggy [09:04] salah windows* [09:04] 7.10 is a big disappointing [09:04] very big [09:04] why are you using ubuntu in the first place? [09:04] just curious [09:04] To tell us he's disappointed [09:05] hmm [09:05] Marzata well the last time I ubuntu is well like version 5 or something like that [09:05] genius, dont know [09:05] use locate or find [09:05] actually, yes.. is there a way to have the keyring without a password.. I already have full-disk encryption.. once I enter that password, I want everything else on the lappy to just GO.. wifi, mail, etc.. no more passwords.. [09:05] in package info whats priority and section mean? [09:05] Marzata: I am quite sure you could fix most of the bugs [09:05] Marzata but i was using VMware at the time [09:05] dude, it is not problem fixing it [09:05] and we do [09:05] or just use a different distro like say debian [09:05] including new features, new versions is always a risk [09:06] go old skool [09:06] :> [09:06] if 8.04 is as bad as 7.10 I might well mo0ve to debian :( [09:06] zcat[1], yes, when I turn on the computer (and it tries to connect to my wifi) i get this keyring question. I deny, and have to press the password for wifi (off course) and then the keyring comes pop up comes again. what's the point of this? I can't even turn it off. Last time I did by following a guide on ubuntuforums.org, Gnome wouldn't work [09:06] debian, no [09:06] ubu and deb are all the same [09:06] I am only using ubuntu over debian because I am lazy and didn't want to bother with my video card, I read that 7.10 would install it easy [09:06] travisat, because I like the distro? do I need to change dist because there is a bug there? [09:07] salah: well yes if you complain about a bug and it really makes you mad it is a good reason to switch [09:07] we will see 8.04 [09:07] hope to be such crap like 7.10 [09:07] I usually see bug reports when I find a bug, very often there is an answer too :) [09:07] credit where it's due, the restricted drivers and codecs and flash stuff is a big step forward tho. [09:07] how do i completely get rid of a app that i havent installed through apt-get? I accidently deleted a key I need and I tried reinstalling but no luck [09:08] yep I was really happy not having to recompile my kernel to get my vid card to work right [09:08] but of course I understand that ubuntu is meant to be more like install and forget distro [09:08] travisat, why don't you buy a new house or a new car because there is one single, small fail on it...? or take your own life because there is something you don't like in it? these questions are as dumb as yours [09:08] ogra, aptitude purge package [09:08] salah: if there is a small flaw of course, but then I wouldn't be complaining about it, I would ignore it or fix it [09:08] well I also like the way it found my card and works even though my card is an NVIDIA Card [09:09] travisat, how about that there is no easy way to fix it? and if you find a way i'll shut up [09:09] salah: if it is a small problem then it shouldn't matter [09:10] salah: what problem are you talking about? [09:10] un0p: its not ACTUALLY installed. i dragged the folder over and run using ./command . I didnt get it from repos [09:10] salah, no use wasting time fuming about it -- if there's no easy way to fix it, get rid of it [09:10] salah: and I don't know what your problems are [09:10] anyhooo.. I'm using +1 at the moment, and it looks like it will be a lot better.. And yes, I filed bug reports for everything I found lacking in gutsy [09:10] travisat, it is a small, BUT annoying problem. and everytime I ask here noone can anything about it [09:10] well what is it? [09:10] salah: I found crazy problem with hald when I upgraded to 7.10 and took some googling but the fix was really easy [09:10] ogre, you mean you installed a package right from its source? [09:11] phade, the keyring prompts two times for each time I press a password. And there is no way to remove uit [09:11] there is a simple way to install latest monodevelop relesase (apt-get install monodevelop-0.180? [09:11] it [09:11] un0p: yes. it wasnt in the repos yet [09:11] they must stop distributing 7.10 [09:11] hy alll [09:12] hey Joe [09:12] un0p: its actually really cool. its called maltego. I saw it at a security con the other day with my neighbor [09:12] ogre, hmm, well, there's no easy way out of this -- you'll need to examing what files `make install` is slapping onto the filesystem and then manually delete them [09:12] same question; I want an unlocked keyring... yes I am aware of the security consequences... I have full disk encryption, I never walk away when it's booted up.. I'm grown up and can deal with the consequences.. [09:13] ogre, what does maltego do? [09:13] un0p: I didnt make install anything I just un tar'ed and dragged the file over then ran it [09:13] salah: is this what you are talking about? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=484918 [09:14] ogre, ok, same same, if another command does something like `make install` for you, you'll need to find out what files it's placing on the filesystem... [09:14] salah: or http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=187874? [09:15] un0p: searches alot of db for info on people and stuff. its pretty sweet. they had guys ss# his moms ss# phone,kids,address in like 2 mins. I just want to see what is on the net regarding me & my family [09:15] Is anyone aware of any way to either run/install the alternate install program from the live cd, or to enable encrypted file-system installation in the live cd partition editor, I don't want to waste more bandwidth and plastic trees. [09:15] Jericho_J: I don't think so [09:16] ogre, right, doesn't sound too cool really -- scary actually :) [09:16] un0p: how would I find out what its placing in the filesystem? [09:16] yay, happy! [09:16] un0p: yeah it is. thats why i want to see what is on the net about me [09:16] ogre: chroot and install it in a safe place [09:16] ogre, errm, this is a problem with source packages, uninstalling them is a pain - run ./command again and let's see what it spits out, use !pastebin to show us that output [09:17] ogre: although often with configure you can chose where it installs it and you can install it in a safe place withough chroot [09:17] ogre, have you already installed it? or are you about to? [09:17] can anyone help me out with some "weirdness" with my ethernet ? I am running 7.10, in my net monitors the traffic looks like a sin wave, the net keeps going idle and back, very quick. [09:18] travisat: un0p: I figured it out [09:18] it does not seem to be effecting speed tho [09:18] Carbonflux: don't fix what isn't broken [09:18] hrh [09:18] heh, ya it just looks weird [09:18] Carbonflux: try to netstat -pnl [09:18] if your ehternet is working does it really matter [09:19] phade, travisat none of them is working... [09:19] phade, it gives me a list of active connections and open ports [09:20] salah: well you could file a bug report, I didn't see any for it matching yours, but I could of looked at the wrong package [09:20] it just seems to be the net monitors, when I watch one it toggles between idle and double the speed it should be. [09:20] its a gigabit Ethernet controller on the MB. [09:21] ah well, not fixing what is not broken is always good advice [09:21] Carbonflux: I just meant that maybe there is some package connecting that you don't need connecting :) [09:22] Carbonflux: if you need the net monitor to monitor the traffic then it is broken, if you were just looking at it and went whoa well then it wouldn't really matter unless you started having problems with your net [09:22] salah: I still do not understand the exact problem, where you get the password prompt twice? [09:22] phade, thats a good point, I have been watching it with EtherApe and Firestarter and looking at the auth log etc, I don't "think" I am hacked or something is running in the background. :) [09:22] phade, right when the desktop shows, and ubuntu is trying to connect to my usual wireless network [09:23] salah: ok that is much more information already :) [09:23] hey, how to run windows 98 in vmware player? [09:23] travisat, I guess the problem is that its not reporting speed correctly. [09:24] like in gkrellm right now, its toggling back and forth between 0 and 56K, but I know for a fact I am only using about 1/2 that. [09:24] hi guys, I'm having issue with installing ubuntu 7.10. Around 77-79% I get an error message "Errno 05 Input/output error". Yesterday I was told to try to install the basic version (mini cd) and I did but I get the same error report "Input/Output error reading dev/hdb" when I was to format the hard disk. I've checked my hard drive with different programs and I can't find any problem with it. I'm wondering if I should try to change something in the BIOS or.. [09:25] salah: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=192281&highlight=keyring this also did not work? [09:25] its really hard to figure out how to search for this issue in google heh [09:26] is VMware no longer in the repos? === john_ is now known as johnc [09:27] yes it is but how can i get the vmx file with the system i want to run? [09:27] hi all [09:27] does anyone know how to change the order of the modules loaded at boot time? [09:27] to0om: kernel modules? === web-user85 is now known as FF [09:27] phade: yes [09:27] xalanthyr: try easyvmx.com [09:27] I have tried 7.10 on three different machines but its only doing it on one of them, I think its the net controller, something not supported I guess. [09:27] xalanthyr: you can't legally unless you own the system, and then you need to use vmware, not vmware player to install it as a vmx....it isn't hard to find the vmx though [09:28] ogre try enabling the Universe repo [09:28] travisat: but can i make the vmx file that i will be able to use on ubuntu? [09:28] Shadow147: lol. i have had this up & running for 2 months without apparently ;P [09:29] xalanthyr: if you have vmware you can actually install 98 on its own, but you can find vmx files to use in vmware player [09:29] ogre ok [09:29] vmware is not vmware player [09:29] vmware player won't let you install stuff it just runs off a vmx [09:30] sry but that is about all I know about vmware, I never had a need to use it [09:30] phade, I have not tried the last one, will try now [09:30] travisat BULL I have mounted a blank vmx into vmware player and have infact installed win98 [09:30] really [09:30] thanks for your help [09:30] hmm [09:30] kinda defeats the purpose doesn't it [09:31] salah: but make sure you read the whole thread [09:31] travisat well if you know what you are doing is quite easy [09:32] salah: because sometimes someone comes up with the better solution at the end of the thread [09:32] I wanted to run my old games but I have giving up on vmware to much trouble [09:32] well dosbox works pretty good [09:34] Shadow147: dosbox is good but why is vmware too much trouble? [09:34] travisat well dosbox is good for old dos games and apps but my programs are win95/Win98 that require DirectX and works like crap on XP [09:35] any thought on "Errno 05 I/o error" during installation? I'm hopeless...:( [09:35] travisat: it is quite possible to install windows 98 in vmware player [09:35] Shadow147: you tried wine, I have found that it works half of the time with older games [09:35] travisat: you just have to create the virtual disk somewhere else (qemu for example) [09:36] then again windows 98 runs fine also in qemu [09:36] hi all [09:36] phade I just got fed up with it slowing down my pc and I was using a pc with a P4 processor in it [09:36] i need help with compiz, could someone give advices? [09:36] travisat well I haven't really messed with wine all that much [09:36] Shadow147: have you tried qemu or virtual box instad of vmware? [09:37] Shadow147: and wine is good too [09:37] phade qemu I have used before it's good never used virtualbox [09:37] wine is actually getting pretty good, just install team fortress 2 on this computer [09:37] <_Zombie_Batman_> qemu is better then vmware [09:37] is there a command to enable/disable services in rcX.d for auto startup's [09:38] anyone know how to install JRE in ubuntu using terminal? [09:38] lod_: go to the rc folder of your choice and delete the service you don't want to start [09:38] I am mainly using linux as a development enviroment [09:38] but if I want later to autostart them? how do I do that? [09:39] shishio, sudo aptitude install sun-java5-jre [09:39] lod_: well you could move the service to another folder then move back [09:39] un_op ill try [09:39] so there's no direct command for this task? [09:39] travisat, easier to use update-rc.d [09:39] lod_: there might be [09:39] I'm sure I remember reading about a free software tool that could download web sites for offline reading. does anyone know of any? [09:40] heh install java was easy compared on getting flash to work [09:40] VSpike: wget or curl? [09:40] VSpike: Webzip [09:40] Starnestommy: wget is cool but i think this other tool fixed up urls and was just a bit more tuned for that purpose [09:41] un_op im having problem in running frostwire... it says it needs JRE... any idea how to fiz this? [09:41] shishio, you need java installed? did you try that command? [09:41] un_op is says "You need to upgrade to JRE 1.5.x or newer" [09:41] i seem to be having issues with the 64bit... should the intel e6750 work ok with the 64bit desktop? [09:41] un_op i try that command [09:42] shishio: have you upgraded to sun java 1.5 or newer? [09:42] pteague: yes [09:42] travistat: i have no idea [09:42] travistat: i think i havent upgraded it [09:42] shishio: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java [09:42] shishio, sudo aptitude install sun-java5-jre sun-java6-jre [09:43] un_op that command still havent do good [09:43] Starnestommy / josh623 : ah, there's one in the repos. httrack [09:43] could someone say how to boot in safe graphics mode? (without 3d) [09:44] NoobUbU: you already have ubuntu installed, or booting from CD? [09:44] travisat: im having problems in adding the latest JRE in my reps [09:44] shishio, let's have look at the output you get when you try and start frostwire from the terminal [09:44] i have installed... and made a mistake [09:44] shishio, use the !pastebin [09:44] Shadow147: hmm btw curious why was flash player install a pain? [09:45] NoobUbU: can you get to a command line? === lordmetroid_ is now known as LordMetroid [09:45] travisat> k, any idea what may be going wrong then? if i have it do anything other than boot to desktop i can't see anything on my screen... & even having it come up with the desktop takes it about 5 minutes or more... that's before install... after install i seem to be ending up with all sorts of other problems - screen doesn't create needed directories for tmp files, rsync fails, & aptitude keeps returning segmentation faults or core [09:45] yes [09:45] dumps [09:45] un_op it says this line"ls: /opt/j*: No such file or directory [09:45] OOPS, unable to locate java exec in /opt/ hierarchy [09:45] You need to upgrade to JRE 1.5.x or newer from http://www.java.com" [09:45] noobubu: do you know how to use any command line text editors? [09:45] phade well took me awhile to find the right info I needed and where to put it [09:45] maybe, i can manage it. [09:45] pteague: if it boots at all it isn't a problem with it being 64 bit, it is more likely that your install disk was messed up or your hard drive [09:46] hi guys, I'm having issue with installing ubuntu 7.10. Around 77-79% I get an error message "Errno 05 Input/output error". Yesterday I was told to try to install the basic version (mini cd) and I did but I get the same error report "Input/Output error reading dev/hdb" when I was to format the hard disk. I've checked my hard drive with different programs and I can't find any problem with it. I'm wondering if I should try to change something in the BIOS or.. [09:46] NoobUbU: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf [09:46] about my repainting of the screen problem , if i log in in other acount the problem is no more, so the problem is in my settings [09:46] un_op OOPS, you don't seem to have a valid JRE. FrostWire works best with Sun JRE available at http://www.java.com [09:46] Shadow147: yes sometimes it happens that some tutorials have really outdated info, that confuses things a lot [09:46] NoobUbU: you need to look for the line with the graphics driver, should be: Driver "nvidia" [09:46] Hi. [09:47] NoobUbU: or similar, maybe "ati" "nv" "radeon".. something like that [09:47] i have problem with mount windows shared folder, in fstab i add this line: //172.16.1.200/Tour /mnt/Tour cifs username=operation02,password=123,auto,users,uid=itsupport,gid=users,file_mode=0777,d_mode=0777 0 0 But everytime i save file on it, the permission is: rw-r--r-- then after umount- a and mount -a, the permission becomeme rwxrwxrwx, how to make it always 777 ?? [09:47] shishio, hold on [09:47] ok, [09:47] Shadow147: now only symlink to home or system browser profile and works fine, so easy :) [09:47] travisat> it's just weird cause the 32bit seems to work ok, but i can't make use of my 4gb ram unless i use the server kernel... which apparently doesn't work with the nvidia driver :( [09:47] pteague: also unless you are doing some really really memory intensive stuff like video editting or you really need it 64bit isn't necessary [09:47] phade yeah but I was able to get flash working so I am happy [09:47] NoobUbU: make sure you are editing the one for the graphics card, not the mouse or keyboard. ignore anything that says "wacom" too [09:47] I've got a problem with an ubuntu that shares disk with a Windows install... ubuntu stores the system clock in GMT (even tho it displays the local one), and windows stores the system clock in Local time. I don't think windows' behaviour can be changed, so how do I change Ubuntu's? [09:48] 32bit runs really well with my shiny new e8400 [09:48] NoobUbU: and change it to read : Driver "vesa" [09:48] phade did they ever got shockwave working? [09:48] NoobUbU: then save it and do startx at the command line to test [09:48] Shadow147: with crossover yes [09:48] shishio, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FrostWire [09:48] Shadow147: natively no [09:48] hehe crossover [09:49] ok, can i set the window opacity back to visible, then ? :)) [09:49] travisat> not really, but i'm trying to make better use of my 4gb ram... desktop only seems to use about 3gb of it [09:49] but I would use wine and install windows firefox in wine [09:49] josh623: what the installer is doing? copy files or tring to partition your hard disk? [09:49] phade well I got flash running native but not shockwave [09:49] pteague: its a limit on 32bit systems. But as I said before unless you actually need a whole lot of ram 3gigs is enough [09:50] Shadow147: that is because there is no native version of shockwave for linux [09:50] hallo [09:50] about my repainting of the screen problem , if i log in in other acount the problem is no more, so the problem is in my settings,but what settings can make this? i turn off compiz [09:50] phade unfortunly [09:50] Ubuntu stores the system clock in GMT (even tho it displays the local one), and Windows stores the system clock in Local time. I don't think Windows' behaviour can be changed, so how do I change Ubuntu's? [09:50] hallo [09:50] selams [09:50] VSpike: thank you very much for your help! [09:50] özelde konusmak isteyen varmý [09:50] hey [09:51] whats up boys and girls my name is poyraz how old are you [09:51] simion314: thanks for your attention. Trying to partition my disk. There was no problem copying the files to the disk [09:51] i wish i was as cool as poyraz ... [09:51] selamz [09:51] well I have compiled a few program myself [09:51] hey poyraz [09:51] sen türkmüsün [09:51] evet ya sen [09:51] bende [09:52] nerden [09:52] sivas [09:52] one I did without a configure.sh script [09:52] xkegs [09:52] simion314: I tried to partition my disk with partition magic but that just doesn't help [09:52] Shadow147: that is really easy also in linux make and make install :) [09:52] simdi sen türkiyedenmi katiliyorsun dostum [09:52] yes [09:52] josh623>: can you make the partition manualy with other program if you have problem durring partitioning [09:52] banana [09:52] un_op i have a prob./... when i hit "sudo update-alternatives --config java" to fix the same pro i got... it says this "There is only 1 program which provides java [09:52] (/usr/bin/gij-4.2). Nothing to configure." [09:52] hellal len [09:52] phade helloo [09:52] Shadow147: of course if you do not have Makefile then it is more complicated [09:52] josh623 ok [09:53] helloo [09:53] shishio, thats ok then, not a problem, continue to the next step :) [09:53] josh623 the CD is ok, no damage? [09:53] phade well usually make install is common but sometime I don't want it installed [09:53] rvalles, i suggest you get both ubuntu and windows to update times from the internet, better way to go about this [09:54] un_op: it's a no-no. [09:54] Shadow147: yes [09:54] phade just compiled and then I chmod it with +x [09:54] rvalles, or maybe your cmos battery could be dying [09:54] simion314: I have 5 different cd's with different iso files + 1 mini CD version but just doesn't work [09:54] Shadow147: you could also run or bash it [09:54] lagann_: it is not, the problem is as I've described it. [09:55] un_op: ubuntu sudo refuses to sudo if it sudoed in the future [09:55] un_op: which happened to me a while ago... because the clock changed 1h back thanks to that time sincronization. [09:55] I need a real solution [09:55] I need ubuntu to just store the system clock in local time. [09:56] phade true sometimes I don't want terminal to work in the background [09:56] josh623: i do not know, i have problems ometimes, my computer reboots during installation and is a mistery, try to install only the server, no graphic and if this works then you will install the X after [09:57] rvalles, i really think this is a windows issue -- all BIOSes usually store time in UST, it's then down to the OS to interpret and display that in a format for the user -- ubuntu updates the BIOS to UST and windows gets this wrong [09:57] simion314: It seems to me that the installer can't access my disk because when I'm using the mini CD version the error message is "Input/output reading dev/hdb" [09:57] ok back to real life now, take care :) === phade is now known as phade_WRK [09:57] un_op: I know, but I cannot change windows behaviour. It's privative cr*p. [09:57] un_op: So I must change linux's. [09:57] josh623: what motherboard and hard drive do you have? [09:57] simion314: I'm a newb but I'll try to install the server version then [09:58] josh623: if you don't know don't worry about it [09:58] travisat: I [09:59] travisat: I have a gigabyte mother board and a WD 40GB disk [09:59] rvalles, http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-167977.html [09:59] Any gilr? [09:59] I want seeeeeeeeex [09:59] Yeaaaah! [09:59] is your hard drive sata or atapi [09:59] josh623: is on the CD, i hope it will install your network, i belive it will not copy so many files an you should try asking in other rooms, maybe in #kubuntu d maybe it will work, but if this no work maybe [10:00] un_op: thanks [10:00] travisat: You're girl?

[10:03] * syc_ wassalamualaikum wr wb [10:03] I'm considering moving from rhythmbox to banshee. [10:03] Does the one in the repos come with ipod support? [10:03] (and is it really outdated?) [10:03] (Ubuntu 7.10) [10:04] flamesage: banshee has ipod support, yes.., but in my opinion, Amarok kills both of them. [10:04] travisat: Ok, I'll try that to. [10:04] youc an also look at gtkpod. [10:04] yeah but I'd rather stay to GNOME-only programs. :) [10:04] flamesage: ok, thats fine... i'd go w/ either Banshee or gtkpod [10:04] probably gtkpod [10:04] I am having some sort of serious seeming problem with an external drive. I cannot access it, to write or to read. I have formatted it several times now, to the ext3 file format, and yet i still cannot put anything on it or read the contents of what appears to be the old recycling bin. Can anyone help me figure out how to fix this? [10:04] Hmm what's the version number in the repos, do you know? [10:05] flamesage: Exaile has IPOD support also, but I didn't ever have much luck with it(others have though) [10:05] flamesage: version # of what? [10:05] hello? [10:05] about my repainting of the screen problem , if i log in in other acount the problem is no more, so the problem is in my settings,but what settings can make this? i turn off compiz [10:05] anyone care to help me? [10:05] !anyone | john [10:05] john: 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? [10:05] Oh that's cool, Banshee is only .01 behind in the repos. [10:06] (Version number ^) [10:06] i just ask my question [10:06] oh ok. [10:06] ok let me ask again :) [10:06] ok.. [10:06] flamesage: well, Banshee is pretty good, I just consider Amarok a bit easier to use. [10:06] guys im using nvidia graphic card.. is there any way that i can update my graphic card driver?? [10:07] ive plugged usb cable wire in my usb port.this device is a usb-to-serial device plugged in my usb port, now how will i know what tty is this? [10:07] Yeah, I like Amarok too, but I want to stay GNOME-only. :) (No offense to KDE or anything, I just don't like downloading all of those extra files) [10:07] ok, another problem [10:07] cuz in my winxp it is in com. port 5 [10:07] flamesage: understood, i hate kDE, i just like amarok, so i put up w/ the dependencies [10:07] but here in ubuntu i dont know [10:07] my usb mouse is in usb 2-1 [10:07] After installing xubuntu-desktop it replaced the linux startup background image. After installing edubuntu-desktop, it replaced the gdm theme. How do I get the original ones back? [10:08] johndoe09: USB cable modems are very hit/miss under Ubuntu, and Linux in general, mostly miss. You're going to likely be googling until your eyes bleed [10:08] guys im using nvidia graphic card.. is there any way that i can update my graphic card driver?? [10:08] shishio: be patient.., if someone knows the answer, they'll tell you, why do you think the driver needs updated? [10:08] im sorry. what do you mean IndyGunFreak ? [10:09] shishio: yes and there are tutorials all over the net, it can be a simple process, but not always [10:09] Indy sry [10:09] Hello, xmms and audacity are not working correctly, I get no sound, what can I do? [10:09] johndoe09: was i not clear?.. i'm saying USB modems under Linux are a pain [10:09] oh ok [10:09] not usb modem but this is usbtoserial adapter [10:10] hi all, I'm looking for a PHP-editor to run under Ubuntu. Any suggestions? [10:10] oh i thought you siad it wsa a usb cable modem [10:10] this adapter can be used for pda,modem,digital cam and mobile phone or for any devices [10:10] shishio: what makes you think your nvidia driver needs updated? [10:11] and im using this to configure my switch from serial to this usb2serial adapter so i can plug it in my usb port of my pc [10:11] UndyGunFreak: im using wine at my ubuntu and im playing online games with it and sometimes it crashes due to graphic driver isues === N1c is now known as N1c|BrB [10:12] shishio: how do you know its due to graphic driver issues, and not to do to the fact that wine sucks on some games? [10:12] cuz i doubt its a driver issue. [10:12] usbcore: registered new interface driver usbserial <--does this mean that it is detected? [10:12] hmm, not sure. [10:13] it shows error msg, it prompts me to update my graphic driver to solve it... and BTW sometimes it gives me funny images at the game [10:14] shishio: don't know.., sorry.. maybe look at Nvidia's site.., what game is it? [10:14] Silkroad online [10:14] im getting delays and slow mo's [10:14] shishio: if its wine asking for a driver update thats one thing, if its the game its probably something involving wine [10:15] travisat: exactly, thast why i hate wine for gaming. [10:15] After installing xubuntu-desktop it replaced the linux startup background image. After installing edubuntu-desktop, it replaced the gdm theme. How do I get the original ones back? [10:15] travistat: is ti possible to update my graphic driver through wine? [10:15] shishio: no [10:15] it* [10:15] travistat: that sics [10:15] travistat: that sucks* [10:16] shishio: you will have to look through google or wine forum pages to find out what is wrong, you might have to update wine [10:16] rvalles: so you want the normal gdm theme? [10:16] travistat: ive tried it.. im using the latest wine [10:17] have you looked at the stuff about your game at winehq? [10:17] !flash [10:17] ........ [10:17] Ubotu? [10:17] ubotu is on break [10:17] the problem with supporting wine is that there are about a million things wrong with wine at any time given that there are about a million windows programs that don't work in wine right [10:17] !flash [10:17] 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 [10:17] 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. [10:17] Sorry, I don't know anything about is on break - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [10:17] lol [10:18] !appdb [10:18] The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org [10:18] the last thing i heard was that wine was still kinda buggy...not much work being done on developing it...could b an pold article, though... [10:18] flamesage: its easier to just download the source tar file from adobe.com, rather than jumping through the hoops in that instruction thread that *might* work [10:18] at least the source file *will* work [10:19] Johnny_5➲ wrong [10:19] im using gnash until flash works right [10:19] ... [10:19] gnash sux [10:19] about the article bein' old or the fact that wine is still kinda buggy? [10:19] actually im using gnash cause im to lazy to install flash [10:19] travisat: flash works fine..., its jut the ubuntu installer thats jacked up.. if you download the source from Adobe, it takes about 10sec to install, it will work fine [10:19] Well.. [10:19] I hear Flash has a checksum error? [10:20] Johnny_5➲ about the fact that WINE isnt updated. [10:20] flamesage: only when you try to install it from within ubuntu.... repos, or trying to manually add the plugin... [10:20] if you download the source from Adobe, it wll work fine, at least it does for me. [10:20] oh. [10:20] Well it's already installed. [10:20] But.. thanks anyway :) [10:20] lol, then why are you asking? [10:21] kahrytan: ah...like i said..coulda been an old article and besides just because it gets updated doesn't mean all the kinks get worked out... [10:21] Johnny_5➲ With each update, some games work and some break again [10:21] yesterday I put Adobe Flash Player for a friend in Gutsy === N1c|BrB is now known as N1c [10:22] no chance with Ubuntu Installer [10:22] kahrytan: ah...then u just confirmed what i was just saying... [10:22] but with plugin from Adibe ...all OK [10:22] yeah i did it through adobe directly [10:22] its all good [10:22] SorinN: and there won't be for the forseeable future. [10:22] Johnny_5➲ But that doesnt mean it is buggy. [10:22] that thread that ubotu links is a bit misleading if you ask me./ [10:22] kahrytan: if u say so [10:22] Johnny_5➲ WINE is stable. [10:23] as long as Pokerstars works w/ Wine, I don't care.. :) [10:23] wine isn't buggy its just in beta until microsoft releases their code under the gpl and since that won't happen wine is permanently in beta because there are always new programs coming out that might not work right [10:23] I use Dreamweaver CS3 and Flash 8 with Wine [10:23] and no problems at all [10:24] why would you use flash 8 w/ wine? [10:24] i use it for mediacoder and it worked fine for awhile then all of a sudden now partway into doin' what its doin' it logs me out of my comp and i have to log back in...thought that was kinda weird... [10:24] I need to work In Ubuntu [10:24] why I should work in XP ? [10:24] SorinN➲ try Kompozer instead of dreamweaver [10:24] heh [10:24] at some levels Kompozer is just not enough [10:24] Flash shoudl work fine in Ubuntu.. [10:25] for php templates it can't [10:25] SorinN➲ umm do the html first. then add php [10:25] but i'm sure next Mozilla Composer will do fine [10:25] i have no probs w/ flash [10:25] unless i try to use it w/opera [10:26] I think he is talking about making flash not using flash [10:26] makin flash SWF [10:26] not Flash Player [10:26] oh... [10:26] ;) [10:26] nm [10:26] Flash IDE [10:26] my bad [10:26] I just move my workflow completely onto Linux [10:27] There is still PS [10:27] you could just not make flash, you know there are other options [10:27] amd works ;) [10:27] yep [10:27] i guess that's what i get for comin' in on a conversation i progress [10:27] I am a Javascript people [10:27] person, you are a person [10:27] :P [10:27] manny things can be done without flash === angel is now known as ag3r [10:27] but [10:27] most things should be done without flash [10:27] text rotating not yet [10:28] ill tell ya the next time I need my text to rotate [10:28] heh [10:28] I expect a good cooperation between Mozila and Adobe - see Tamarin [10:28] Flash is good way to make animated gifs [10:28] or you know you could just make animated gifs [10:29] flash is easier [10:29] maybe on this year we will have almost the same possibilities on Javascript as in Flash [10:29] flash is not easier [10:29] % webcam [10:29] flash is unique [10:29] about my repainting of the screen problem , if i log in in other acount the problem is no more, so the problem is in my settings,but what settings can make this? i turn off compiz [10:29] yeah it is [10:29] Video / Audio streaming [10:29] arg, sorry about this, where was that webpage on webcam stuff for ubuntu? [10:30] well the only problem I have is that there is too much extra crap on the net right now due to excessive flash and javascript. Some webpages I can't even use because of all the mouse popovers and flash advertisements [10:30] did someone say adblock? [10:30] agree - not designers want pop-ups but clients [10:30] actually, adblock works surprisingly well ^_^ [10:31] I don't like using adblock because some web pages I do want to support [10:31] so you could just add them as exceptions?

[10:37] i got it now thanks [10:38] amigas? [10:38] it's ttyUSB0 and it's detected without any problem.now i can use minicom or cutecom [10:38] any good webcam application for Ubuntu? [10:38] i have this usb to serial adapter [10:38] i can manage my switch now thanks guys [10:38] johndoe09, cool [10:38] at least that good as Dorgem for Windows? btw Dorgem is open source. [10:39] Hello. Has someone a hint for me howto to assign a specified nic to a specified interfacename (eth0, eth1)? I am using multiple NICs, but the order Nic0 -> eth0 and Nic1 ->eth1 changes sometimes when booting. I couldnt find out a working google-keyword :-( === PhuzXP is now known as Phuzion [10:39] walde: /etc/iftab ? [10:39] need such thing http://dorgem.sourceforge.net/ but for Ubuntu [10:40] walde: it is a file with « MACADRRESS iface » lines iirc [10:41] erUSUL: thank you. Looks like what I was searching for. [10:42] walde: well i was wrong.... http://linux.die.net/man/5/iftab is « iface mac MACADRESS » i heard that it is no longer honored by udev but try anyway [10:44] walde: as i suspected... you now have to edit /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules not /etc/iftab... see here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/udev/+bug/125139 [10:44] walde: google is your friend ;) [10:45] it sure is, erUSUL :-) === u^A_ is now known as u^A === Sheikh_Abdullah_ is now known as Nattefrost [10:50] I need a linux distro that can monitor data useage by ip === N1c is now known as N1c|brb [10:51] detectiveinspekt snmp and associated packages are available in all distros [10:53] hello [10:54] can anyone tell me what linux kernel version does 7.04 ubuntu have ???? [10:54] mask open your shell and type uname -a [10:54] mask: uname -a [10:54] One question, how to run a programm under a certain userid? I mean the runAs eq. from Win32 [10:55] it shows 2.6.20-16-generic #2 SMP Tue Dec 18 05:45:12 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux [10:55] beni_f: but how can i upgrade it to 2.6.22-14 [10:55] I recently installed some new fonts using apt, and after rebooting my monospace font is totally blurry (as shown in http://xs223.xs.to/xs223/08045/blurry570.png ) Does anyone have any ideas on how I might fix it? [10:56] mask sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [10:56] You appear to be spamming the pastebin. I hate spammers so I won't let you. If you're not attempting to spam, please enable javascript so you can pass the antispam check - wth? I have javascript enabled.. [10:57] xaxa' [10:57] will this command will update to this particular linux kernel version [10:57] no, it will upgrade to a newer ubuntu version [10:57] mask, yes, this is the latest version.. which ubuntu are you running? [10:57] 10:16:03 < IndyGunFreak> rvalles: so you want the normal gdm theme? [10:57] yup [10:58] but perhaps that means a new kernel version too [10:58] oh, he left [10:58] Exteris, latest ubuntu version = Linux dieter 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP [10:58] Daremonai, use another pastebin :) [10:58] let's repeat the question [10:58] After installing xubuntu-desktop it replaced the linux startup background image. After installing edubuntu-desktop, it replaced the gdm theme. How do I get the original ones back? [10:58] but by running this command i get the error message - could'nt find dist-upgrade [10:58] unop: on it :) [10:59] rvalles, why did you change it that often? try installing ubuntu-desktop :P [10:59] mask wait [10:59] rvalles, have you checked gdmsetup to see if the original theme is available to change? [10:59] http://pastebin.com/d6c840503 - am getting error in my fstab (last line) it says it's bad.. how do i fix it? [10:59] mask, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [10:59] mask: you have ti upgrade to 7.10 [11:00] beni_f: that command will not dist-upgrade him [11:00] Daremonai, isnt it easier if you _DONT_ use whitespace ? [11:00] !upgrade | mask [11:00] mask: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [11:00] mask: if you do not want to upgrade your entire distribution you can try and dl the deb package from packages.ubuntu.com and installing it [11:01] unop in the folder name you mean? I tried it with "" and \ . both didn't work... why won't it work even with whitespaces? kinda lame that it doesn't if that's the problem! [11:01] beni_f, can't he install it then using linux-image-2.6.***-generic? [11:01] let me try [11:01] how can i do this [11:01] !who [11:01] As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [11:01] Daremonai, also, if you dont want to strip whitespace, you can try putting those two fields withing quotes [11:01] because i only concerned with compilers [11:01] to run on that particular linux version [11:02] unop i had them within quotes, it didn't work. [11:02] Daremonai, whitespace breaks structure -- as lame as that sounds it's so true [11:02] mask: why do you need the new kernel? [11:03] Hey, how do i find out, why my fn keys don't work. Everything except the brightness controll works ,... any way to find out ? [11:03] unop oh well.. I removed the whitespaces now... worked fine, thanks! still is quite lame that whitespaces don't work :| [11:03] because i have some cross tools that built on that particular version [11:04] can u guide me how can i just upgrade only linux kernel [11:04] Daremonai, something are the way they are for a reason .. and in this case, if you put white space in that line, how does the parser identify the right folders and distinguish them from mount options, etc if you put whitespace in? [11:05] unop: "quotes" or the "\" just like any other parser does. [11:06] SoulChild, your fn keys arent added to the keymap [11:06] mask: there is no way a compiler would need a particular kernel version to run... or i missunderstood you [11:06] ? [11:07] actually its a cross compiler [11:07] Daremonai, but this isnt any other parser, it's got its own rules -- which you know by now [11:07] Daremonai, btw, spaces can be used as long as they are represented in octal - \040 [11:07] anyone know where i can find out how to swap my left and right audio channels? [11:08] unop: alright, thanks. [11:08] what can I use to operate an iPod on my machine? Not just listen to music off of it, but also put music on, etc.?

[11:16] good afternoon [11:16] i yesterday installed ubuntu 7.10, today i want to start system but it hangs while starting cupsd ;/ [11:16] what's wrong? [11:17] gumis, i did the same thing w/ my system [11:17] i did the update [11:17] and mine just went into the termianl [11:17] terminal* [11:17] i had a 64bit bit version of ubuntu though [11:18] i'm just gonna download the 32bit version for now [11:19] hm, i didn't do any update, because internet connection wasn't working hrhr [11:19] *hehe [11:20] yeah [11:20] i havent ran my system for like 2 days [11:20] then i wentback [11:20] and it had a major update [11:20] lol [11:20] im on xp for now till my download finishes [11:21] hello, sombody knows how to make odbd links in ubuntu? [11:22] or knows a tutorial link [11:22] i wonder if there's any way to use 2.4.x kernels in ubuntu systems [11:23] i m sorrry [11:23] but i can t find on ubuntu the package elfutils-devel [11:23] r3r333rrrR, have you tried the ubuntu forums [11:23] ok for elfutils but not the devel packagh [11:23] ? [11:23] there might be something on there that'll help you [11:23] jaa [11:23] tapas: no way; and why would you want to do that 2.4 is ancient [11:23] can you say me if it exists [11:25] tapas, it should be possible to compile your on 2.4 kernel but alot of things would probably be broken like hal and much hardware support but it would still run [11:25] !info libebl-dev | vasco [11:25] vasco: libebl-dev (source: elfutils): static library providing higher-level ELF access functionality. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.127-4ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 54 kB, installed size 268 kB [11:25] erUSUL, well debian asks you to choose if you want 2.4 over 2.6 - the reasoning is that 2.6 broke a lot of good functionality that was available in 2.4 [11:25] bardyr: yeah.. we have a kernel module here which only works in 2.4.x [11:25] Hi! how can I configure my ubuntu mouse WITHOUT the xorg.conf please? [11:25] it's not ported yet.. [11:25] un0p: such as? [11:26] our environment is ubuntu here.. but we need a single machine which is able to run 2.4.x [11:26] Hi all [11:26] erUSUL, errm, I cant be specific but some kernel drivers were affected [11:26] bardyr: even module-init-tools from ubuntu don't work with 2.4.x anymore [11:26] when i try playing an ogg video (created with recordmydesktop) with vlc/totem it's really dark, and when i play it with mplayer it gives an error "cannot find codec" and plays it dark. i sent the video to a friend of mine and it's not dark in his computer. any ideas? [11:27] tapas: if you want a 2.4 kernel use a 2.4 era distribution... i think that dsl still ships with 2.4 kernel [11:27] tapas, pay a developer to port it to 2.6, and if its a sound module for a vortex thin client, vendors usually have 2.6 modules but dont publish them [11:27] tapas: I think that you'll have to settle with debian for 2.4 kernels [11:28] Could someone help me? I have copy of DVD video on my disc. How can I extract audio from it. It contains audio in two languages. I want to have just one extracted. [11:28] Any ideas? [11:28] folks, is there any way to save the list of joined channels so that XCHAT re-joins them automatically at each startup? [11:28] Belisarivs, dvdrip [11:28] Belisarivs: acidrip does what you need [11:28] FFighter, check the network list -- and edit preferences for the network you usually connect to [11:29] Howdy - I'm soon going to need a development laptop running Ubuntu (I'll be travelling more). I've had both the Thinkpads and the XPS laptops suggested and I've googled some info - anyone with direct experience and recommendations? [11:29] Belisarivs: i'd go with acidrip [11:29] Belisarivs: use a dvd ripping tool dvd::rip or k9copy; dvd95 etc [11:29] Stephmw: you could ask dell which laptops support ubuntu better [11:29] Can acidrip and dvdrip just export audio? I don't want video to be processed. [11:29] Stephmw, dell.uk.xx/open :) [11:30] Stephmw: a choice between thinkpads and xps? not sure about xps but thinkpads are excellent with linux [11:30] Just want audio. Nothing else. [11:30] savvas: dell are pushing their XPS models ;) dell.co.uk/ubuntu [11:30] FFighter: edit on the network list the entry for freenode and add the list of channels to the auto join [11:30] Stephmw: dell even ships a few laptops with ubuntu preinstalled... but then again ... it's still D/H ELL [11:30] Belisarivs: then welcome to the magical world of command line: mencoder :) [11:31] Stephmw, yea, if they just would sell them in denmark too [11:31] how can I configure my ubuntu mouse WITHOUT the xorg.conf please? [11:31] dvd95 and k9copy just shrink dvd 9 to dvd5 [11:31] Hi guys i've got this problem. I obtain this error message: "Nautilus can't be used now, due to an unexpected error from Bonobo when attempting to locate the factory. Killing bonobo-activation-server and restarting Nautilus may help fix the problem".. what command i have to use? [11:31] no real need to get the dell; just wipe and install whatever you buy--best to get the intel wireless though [11:31] bardyr: yeah, iirc they've just announced Spain [11:31] what does X load during startup when there's no xorg.conf file?! [11:31] hm, cli, I expected it. [11:31] Hehwsio działa [11:31] 287MB aktualizacjio musze zedrzeć [11:31] english Qba_rozpruwacz [11:32] bazhang: I thought about that, but although I enjoy tweaking my Ubuntu desktop, I'd rather have a hands-off maintenance for the laptop, it's a work machine [11:32] I'll do some search then [11:32] reaktae, it autoconfigures itself with available modules [11:32] reaktae, without an xorg.conf you pretty much have no GUI, how did you manage that? [11:32] rozpruzowacz [11:32] OK [11:32] no problem [11:32] last time i reported that some chinese characters display incorrectly in gedit [11:32] 287MB of updates to download... [11:32] i have identical problem as described here: http://ohioloco.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=656661 [11:32] Stephmw: the thinkpad I got (r60) was install and go--no tweaking with the intel 3945 wireless needed [11:33] later i found if i set the system language to chinese, problem solved [11:33] So? [11:33] un0p: latests xorg can autoconfigure themselves to some extend without xorg.conf iirc [11:33] yao_ziyuan: I recall :} [11:33] bazhang: 'k [11:33] now i only have one demand: [11:33] yao_ziyuan: nice to know; thanks! [11:33] make more themes in ubuntu [11:33] Belisarivs: if you can't still get mencoder to work, try asking your question at http://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu [11:33] yao_ziyuan, gnome-look.org [11:33] don't expect newbies to go to fancy sites like gnome-look.org [11:33] erUSUL, and then you get broken mice and keyboards like reaktae has :) [11:33] Thanks [11:33] how to kill a process? what command should i use? thanks [11:34] Qba_rozpruwacz: is there an issue with the updates? [11:34] Qba_rozpruwacz: welcome to the world of free updates :P [11:34] blackdiamond, self-answering question -- man kill [11:34] !killall [11:34] Sorry, I don't know anything about killall - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [11:34] yao_ziyuan, whats fancy about them? download a file drop and drag it into the appearance manager and theme is installed [11:34] kill -9 ID [11:34] Everything works [11:34] or you can use system monitor [11:34] bazhang: but i think even in the english environment, chinese display should be fixed by using a more complete chinese font in the font.config file [11:34] or htop [11:34] hey, is it possible to make the scrolling not change desktops without disabling scrolling? [11:34] un0p: i've had problems with my radeon and it managed to configure everything just fine this way. i was even told on the #radeon channel that the ubuntu development is heading towards getting rid of the xorg.conf completely! The only thing I'm having trouble with is that i can't disable my synaptics touchpad's tap to click behavior. any ideas? [11:34] Carbonflux, err, suggesting -9 is not a good idea [11:35] yao_ziyuan: I agree but it is early days for this young distro :} [11:35] But there is known problem with installe [11:35] oblivious, which window manager? [11:35] also there is a little thingie you can install on the gnome panel that will kill a window [11:35] gnome [11:35] BRB - reboot [11:35] oblivious, window manager preferences [11:35] The default archive manager i seem to have called "file roller" doesnt allow just click and drag out of the archive, is there any reason for this? [11:35] or, you can type xkill at a command line and it will give you a cursor to click on what you want to kill [11:36] bazhang: currently, in the english environment, a crappy chinese font is above a more complete chinese font. so some chinese characters are not displayed by that crappy priority font but by the other one [11:36] un0p, whats wrong with -9 ? [11:36] chimp: it's gnome? [11:36] yep [11:36] bardyr: but newbies may not know that site. better make a "Get More Themes" button on the theme manager [11:36] yao_ziyuan: it sounds like a bug to me, http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu [11:37] yao_ziyuan: well I think you should pass your concerns on by joining the mailing lists--though perhaps with a tad more diplomatic language :} [11:37] savvas: no i hate filing bugs [11:37] the only options are the number of rows and number of columns [11:37] reaktae, it's not like the xorg.conf has no use -- it's useful if you need to be specific about some of the options xorg provides and tailor them around your needs .. regardding the syntaptics issue, i'm sorry i have no expertise there [11:37] un0p: yes ;) [11:37] yao_ziyuan: then make friends with the bug :) it's a matter of two minutes to copy paste what you just said - if you don't file it, don't bother expecting someone to fix it [11:37] i won't file a bug until there is an irc bot that allows me to feed the report to it step by step [11:37] Hello. I have two questions: 1. How to set-up hightly precision mouse? 2. Where I can find info about using satellites (video, internet, etc.) [11:38] yao_ziyuan: welcome to the world of do it yourself :) [11:38] yao_ziyuan: good luck with that then :} [11:38] Carbonflux, because the default signal to kill/killall is TERM not KILL -- you want processes to terminate properly not just kill them, you can do serious damage with kill/killall -9 [11:38] un0p: apparently it would be much easier if each of the drivers loaded during startup was configured individually, rather than via xorg.conf... don't know... [11:39] hehe [11:39] un0p, ah I see that makes, heh, normally I don't resort to kill unless I have tried something more conventional :) [11:39] maybe there is an existing, better theme manager [11:39] yao_ziyuan, you can use the wall also. [11:39] makes sense* [11:39] un0p, erUSUL , thank you! [11:40] yao_ziyuan: its called kde :} [11:40] ubuntu should just select the most powerful theme manager [11:40] bazhang: ... [11:40] * bazhang hides [11:41] how can i set the system font size [11:41] ? [11:41] yao_ziyuan: i expect all this to be filed in bugs or answers at launchpad :) [11:41] n00bie: system>Preferences>Appearance [11:41] n00bie, theme manager? [11:41] so un0p what is the correct command to close a program normally, just kill by itself? [11:41] n00bie, system - pergences - appearance [11:41] i use fluxbox... [11:42] savvas: the chinese display problem isn't a big one since almost all chinese users will select chinese as system language [11:42] does any one know if there is a linux driver for ATI Sapphire X1950Pro graphics card? [11:42] savvas: and then they don't see any problem [11:42] a n00bie using fluxbox ? [11:42] chimp, yes, only resort to kill -9 if the process is not responding to a normal kill [11:42] perhaps a troll heh [11:42] exit [11:42] Ubuntu, the official ATi drivers? [11:42] yeh [11:42] How do I view workgroup computer, I appear to have lost this ability recently. [11:43] Ubuntu, how about on the ati site [11:43] can kill -9 leave problems with allocated memory? [11:43] i have an ATi Sapphire X1950Pro 512MB AGP [11:43] Ubuntu, check ati site [11:43] http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html [11:43] i went on sapphire site and couldnt find any linux drivers :( [11:43] !ati [11:43] To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [11:43] do i not need to go on sapphire site? [11:43] Ubuntu: isn't the restricted drivers manager helpful? [11:44] https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ati-driver-installer-8-01-x86.x86_64.run [11:44] eh [11:44] ^^ the official ati driver [11:44] chimp, no the kernel can reclaim that -- but what kill -9 could do is corrupt files if the process is in the middle of writing something to disk and is killed, it doesnt have the chance to verify data, and you end up with a problem [11:44] sorry i accidently disconnected [11:44] Ubuntu9: 12:43:59 < Exteris> https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ati-driver-installer-8-01-x86.x86_64.run [11:44] hello everyone should i upgrade to kernel 2.6.22.10 or not?????? from synaptics .. any suggestions? thx [11:44] I see [11:44] I don't use kill -9 unless things have gone beyond worrying about memory problems, but you can get most of that taken care of by killing all the threads, killing stuff by hand is a pain really. [11:44] hello evryone should i upgrade to kernel 2.6.22.10 or not? [11:45] whabo: is that feisty? [11:45] bazhang yes [11:45] i did try installing the restricted drivers that ubuntu indicates...but when i restart after installing it, it doesnt load logon screen and stays blank [11:45] still, you can't be sure you have gotten everything if you have a process that is really trashed [11:46] Carbonflux, normally you shouldnt need to kill anything, processess should terminate nicely if requested [11:46] whabo: no idea; on gutsy here [11:46] bazhang whats the diffrence between the 2.6.18 and the 2.6.22.10? [11:46] I agree un0p :) [11:46] whabo: any reason not to? [11:46] I cant see anything in network when i click on windows networks [11:46] bazhang i dont know if i should or not ... coz i dont wanna face an unstable system [11:46] whabo: run the update manager, click on the update of the kernel and wait for it to download the list of changes [11:47] I did not mean to imply using the kill command was anything but a special case :) [11:47] whabo: feisty was unstable for all the way through--if you are happy with what you have then run with it [11:47] ohhh [11:47] mostly I use kill to kill stuff I am coding that has crashed heh [11:48] Carbonflux, but `kill process` is ok -- `kill -9 process` is not .. there's a difference, one is asking nicely, one is being a control-freak :) [11:48] whabo: the 7.10, gutsy is much more stable [11:48] lol [11:48] savvas but the kernel does not show up in the list of updates .. yeah .. ill update to 7.10 soon [11:48] whabo: I have to echo that [11:49] whabo: if you want super stable just wait for hardy :} [11:49] how would I disable the compiz fusion blacklist? [11:50] bazhang, I hope hardy doesnt have as many issues as gutsy has/does (LTS eh?) [11:50] bazhang .. i run pclinuxos and ubuntu and 2 diffrent machines ..... i have no idea why ubuntu is much slower and unstable than pclinuxos .. with the versions .. [11:50] un0p: seems nice for an alpha :} [11:50] with the new version ** [11:50] can anybody tell me what /var/lib/dpkg/available is used for? [11:50] 6.10 was the stablest in my opinion [11:51] whabo: many new releases--every six months might account for some of it [11:51] whabo, problem with an out-of-the-box OS is it's intended as a one-size-fit-all -- more true especially with ubuntu, strip away what you don't really need and it's sweet and on par with pretty much any other distro [11:51] bazhang .. i know .... :S [11:52] /msg ubotu flash [11:52] un0p ... pclinuxos ... is more like an outofthe box experience ... more than ubuntu .. im sry to say that but if hardy is still buggy im switching to pclinuxos .. lets cross our fingers [11:52] hello [11:53] whabo: it's all good--just dont go vista [11:53] hi DigGo [11:53] i was upgrade in hardy, but i'd like return tu gutsy, how i do? [11:53] back up first [11:53] bazhang: what is sequence? [11:54] i'd like return to gutsy [11:54] DigGo: lots to back up? [11:54] bazhang: i had vista . and installed pclinuxos instead lol .. im through with winblows :) for 6 months now.. im running ubuntu on this 3 years old laptop [11:54] bazhang: i have hardy no, but i'd like deupgrade [11:54] aquo, it's where APT utilities can look up information on packages available for installation [11:54] some howto ? [11:54] whabo: no worries then--but support is better here imo [11:54] some idea? [11:54] pls help me [11:55] DigGo: do you have a lot of data to back up? [11:55] un0p: no, i don't think so ... [11:55] bazhang .. honestly yes it is ... i get all the support i want from pclinuxos from here .. lol i know that .. on pclinuxos channel there is hardly anyone [11:55] for* [11:55] aquo, no? why so? [11:55] does anyone know if ubuntu will switch to iceweasel instead of firefox ? [11:56] little chance of that sa [11:56] oops [11:56] un0p: apt maintains it's own package directory [11:56] savvas, ubuntu and mozilla play nice with each other -- there's no need for that [11:56] savvas hardly likely imo [11:56] un0p: if i use dpkg --clear-avai the dpkg available is empty [11:56] ok [11:56] savvas, probably not and there isnt really any reason for it iceweasel is just firefox with a different logo and anem [11:56] name* [11:56] apt and aptitude still work [11:56] and apt-get update doesn't update the dpkg available [11:57] DigGo: do you have alot of data you need to save? music, personal files etc? [11:57] 10:58:52 < beni_f> rvalles, why did you change it that often? try installing ubuntu-desktop :P [11:57] I have ubuntu-desktop too. === yon is now known as yonie [11:57] and kubuntu-desktop, even. [11:57] bazhang .. U know .. something Most if not ALL linux distroz are great.... no matter what it is .. its linux after all .... :) [11:57] 10:58:59 < unop> rvalles, have you checked gdmsetup to see if the original theme is available to change? [11:57] heya guys [11:57] aquo: try sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get autoclean [11:57] no, I'm gonna check now [11:57] how do i look at my workgroup computers? [11:57] whabo: agreed [11:57] but I don't want ubuntu to change themes on its own... [11:58] anyone knows a bash command to search for a word inside a list of files or folder ? [11:58] Hey guys, can anyone help me mount my USB hdd, it doesnt mount when i start ubuntu [11:58] lordmorgoth: grep [11:58] DigGo:ne? [11:59] savvas, yeah i know grep but can u tell me the full command plz [11:59] lordmorgoth: grep -i "yourword" folder/file* [11:59] savvas, let me try [11:59] savvas: no, this doesn't work ... [11:59] rvalles, well, with all respect, you did try something non-standard, do you still expect standard behaviour? [12:00] yonie is it plugged in when you start up? what file system? [12:00] lordmorgoth: *hint* type the first three letters of your folder or file and press tab twice for autocompletion :) [12:00] bazhang, yes it is, its NTFS [12:00] savvas: i don't have any problems on my system, i am just analysing the operation of dpkg, apt, aptitude and synaptic .... [12:00] savvas, i know dat im not that ignorant man :P [12:00] do youhave ntfs-3g installed yonie? [12:00] aquo: ah, apologies, misunderstood the problem :) [12:01] there are lots of tutorials that say you shouldn't use aptitude and apt and synaptic in parallel [12:01] i love this channel [12:01] never seen so many friendly people on irc [12:01] but the periodic update in cronjobs uses apt-get ... [12:01] pewpewpew: we love you too :p [12:01] haha [12:01] and i want to use aptitude because it is comfortable [12:01] bazhang, i might because my other internal hdds mount when i start up [12:01] 11:59:44 < un_op> rvalles, well, with all respect, you did try something non-standard, do you still expect standard behaviour? [12:01] can i use webcam with pidgin [12:02] bazhang, yeah i do, just checked [12:02] with all respect, am I supposed to never install or personalize anything at all? [12:02] lordmorgoth: ok, just trying to fill your head with useful nonsense :P [12:02] can anybody tell me if apt-get update and aptitude update produces the same system state? [12:02] yonie: that is odd--it is connected when you start up? does the bios see it? [12:02] are they interchangeble? [12:02] un_op: the computer will soon be given as a present to a family which has many members, each with its preferences. [12:02] lordmorgoth: there is also pcregrep if you're familiar with PCRE regular expressions [12:03] aquo> pretty much [12:03] rvalles: what is the issue? [12:03] rvalles, you are - and you can, and if things change as the result of installing packages that assume things need changing, you change them back :) [12:03] un_op: some will use gnome, some will use kde. There are kids too, so it makes sense to have the edubuntu stuff. [12:03] savvas, i should put the " " ?? [12:03] pteague: i am not that sure .... [12:03] webcam and pidgin [12:03] is it possible to use webcam with pidgin [12:03] bazhang: after installing kubuntu-desktop... it changed the boot logo! [12:04] bazhang: and edubuntu changed the gdm login theme! (I already fixed that one with gdmconfig) [12:04] can someone help me with workgroups? [12:04] rvalles: why not choose what you want in session and stick with that? [12:04] aquo> aptitude is an interface for the various apt tools so it's more than just apt-get [12:04] lordmorgoth: preferrably yes :) you'll eventually end up using regular expressions, it's good to use " " quotes [12:04] I managed to extract ac3 from that video. Could someone suggest tool to convert it to mp3 or ogg? [12:04] bazhang, yes it works fine when i boot into windows, its only in Linux that it does work. And yes its pluged in when i start up. Isnt there a command that i can use to mount it? [12:04] Belisarivs: soundconverter [12:04] bazhang: because the computer has more than one user, and some prefer kde, some gnome, kids like the edubuntu apps. [12:04] thanks [12:05] savvas, so far its not working, im going over the grep man [12:05] Belisarivs: that was for ubuntu/gnome, for kubuntu/kde try soundkonverter [12:05] rvalles: so this is simply about the logo? everything else is working okay? [12:05] bazhang: so, what's left to fix is the boot logo, which is kubuntu's atm, and I want the generic ubuntu one. [12:05] bazhang: yup [12:05] ok [12:05] rvalles: I really have no clue--never restart here if possible :} [12:06] bazhang: same here [12:06] lordmorgoth: tell me the word you're looking for and the complete path to the file, privately if you want is ok [12:06] pteague: i know all the basic stuff, but are the files in /var/lib/aptitude/ updated if i use apt-get update? [12:06] bazhang: oh, there's something else... I'd love to disable "hivernate" completelly, since it's not working anyways. [12:06] bazhang: (suspend does) [12:06] is the logo the usplash? [12:06] yup, I suppose [12:06] so is apt-get update; apitude safe-upgrade the same as aptitude update; apt-get upgrade? [12:07] i don't think so. [12:07] I never set usplash up myself (since I prefer to see the text while stuff loads) [12:07] !usplash | rvalles [12:07] rvalles: To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork [12:07] good [12:07] that may help rvalles [12:07] savvas, word: DriverManager , folder: /home/lordmorgoth/Work/credys\ source\ code/WEB/ <--- here i want it to search all those folders to tell me which file contains DriverManager [12:08] aquo, it looks like the available file is used with dselect more than with any other APT utility -- if you delete the available file and run `deselect update` it is regenerated [12:08] aquo: there are some differences in the apt-get and aptitude, for instance i think aptitude installs also the "recommended" list of packages along with the package you upgrade/install [12:08] bazhang: good, it shows the three options too :) [12:08] aquo: mix and match? I usually stick with one or the other, mostly apt-get [12:08] rvalles: nice [12:09] lordmorgoth: ah sorry, you need grep -ri for searching inside a lot of folders or files :) [12:09] savvas, tried that already [12:09] bazhang: yes, i don't want to mix, but the cronjobs are base on apt-get update and so on ... [12:09] lordmorgoth, grep -inRH DriverManager /home/lordmorgoth/Work/credys\ source\ code/WEB/ [12:11] lordmorgoth: or just grep -ri DriverManager /home/lordmorgoth/Work/credys\ source\ code/WEB/ [12:11] un_op: so if i don't use dselect i don't need the available file? [12:12] <[pyro]> hey guys, trying to install ubuntu on a compaq evo N1000v notebook. Desktop live cd boots fine, install's fine but then when comes to boot does memory test then sits on a blank screen with cursor flashing top left corner? The system seems to boot win xp fine as i can swap drives back to XP (xp on a 30gb drive, got a new 80gb drive for linux). [12:12] <[pyro]> ive researched the machine and it will take up to an 80gb drive [12:12] lordmorgoth: by the way, the -i is for case insensitive, it will return "DriverManager", "dRiverManagEr", "drivermanager" etc :) [12:12] [pyro]: I'd try to disable the splash screen [12:13] [pyro]: it's just a quick fix if it works.. it might very well be one of many other things [12:13] <[pyro]> ive tried to manually setup partitions becuase i thought maybe this lappy cant see boot record in a large parititon, so i created /boot at the begining of the drive and made it 800m [12:13] <[pyro]> Slart: disable the boot screen is an option in grub conf file yeah? [12:13] savvas, sorry i was afk talking to my boss [12:14] [pyro]: you can do it at boot too.. at the grub menu [12:14] <[pyro]> oh rly? [12:14] <[pyro]> oh Slart: im not getting boot menu [12:14] [pyro]: but also in the grub configuration file [12:14] <[pyro]> just blinking cursor [12:14] savvas, thanks alot for the help but i think all the files do not contain the word i want :) but really thanks alot for the grep trick ;) [12:14] [pyro]: oh.. no grub menu.. my bad.. then it's probably not the splash screen [12:15] <[pyro]> yeah its like its not finding the boot record [12:15] <[pyro]> hence my attempting to make /boot 800m which seems to have not done much [12:15] lordmorgoth: no problem, if it doesn't return anything, it's probably not in any of the files :\ try with another word and see if anything comes up [12:15] savvas, yeah i think non of the files contain it :) [12:15] [pyro]: but you can still boot from the live cd.. then you can reinstall grub from the live cd.. just in case something didn't stick the first time =) [12:15] ok :P [12:15] anyway me back to work :) peace [12:16] <[pyro]> Slart: yep just trying to figure out the grub cmd now [12:16] What is a good visual traceroute progra,me? [12:16] why is firefox so unstable on ubuntu? [12:16] flash mark[oz]? [12:16] [pyro]: there are lots of tutorials on the net.. just take care with the numbering of partitions and disks.. [12:16] <[pyro]> ko [12:16] its when I'm viewing normal html pages [12:17] mark[oz]: firefox is unstable period [12:17] dn4: the only one i could find was xtraceroute [12:17] what are you people doing to your firefox-installations... mine works nicely =) [12:17] bloods how do i view windows machines from ubuntu?

[12:20] oh well. [12:20] hey guys [12:20] hi Samamanjaro [12:20] hey you [12:21] that's a good time to mention that i'm awfully satisfied with ubuntu. just as a side note. *wheee.* [12:21] lol, i make the switch from vista! [12:21] made* [12:21] hah, did that too [12:21] !hi | Samamanjaro [12:21] Samamanjaro: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [12:21] what is so wrong with vista [12:21] I never tried it [12:21] well, its alright [12:21] what's everyone complaining about [12:21] !vista [12:21] vista is the new operating system by the evil overlords from Redmond. For more information, see http://www.badvista.org and !windows [12:21] but it is just annoying, no real improvments [12:22] it took me 10 min to shutdown [12:22] !ot | everyone [12:22] what about gui which is better [12:22] everyone: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [12:22] lol [12:22] wow.. "cangkemmy" is a bad word in "whatever language they speak in indonesia".. thanks google [12:22] vista or ubuntu [12:22] lol [12:22] UNBUNTU!

[12:24] crap sorry [12:24] Enter also * :P [12:25] Good day. I was hoping someone knows how to start a service at boot as a particular user? I have it working through rc.d, et al., but it starts up as root, and I need it to start up as www-data. Any thoughts as to how to do this? [12:25] ssscotty6: sudo -u or something? [12:26] ssscotty6: sudo -u, yeah [12:26] I'll give sudo -u a try then, thanks :-) [12:26] hi what is the difference between 32 and 64 bit? [12:26] it's 32 more bits! [12:26] 32bits :p [12:26] 32 bits. [12:26] ssscotty6: /etc/rc.local and su username -c "command" also goes [12:26] :-D [12:26] pmsl [12:26] <[pyro]> lol [12:26] lol [12:26] ballie1972: 64bit can access a bit more memory.. a lot more really [12:26] what's the website that is like tinyurl but uses words? [12:27] ok thanks! [12:27] sladen: it's more than that [12:27] ballie1972: I think 64bit is a bit faster when doing large calculations.. such as rendering stuff or working with designing airplanes and such.. [12:27] the processor can handle 64-bit chunks of data [12:27] <`capurro> hi [12:27] <`capurro> hi [12:27] ballie1972: wikipedia probably has a really good explination [12:27] <`capurro> mr admin?

[12:28] ok thanks will look [12:28] ballie1972: but in daily use.. not a lot is different.. I doubt a regular user would be able to tell the difference between a 64-bit install and a 32-bit install [12:28] found it: linkpot [12:28] freeshell? [12:28] `capurro: freeshell? [12:28] Slart: not in the tech underworkings, but in performance, sure [12:28] <`capurro> freeshell = free bnc [12:28] bazhang: dont feed the trolls [12:28] <`capurro> free bot [12:28] <`capurro> :D [12:28] unless u were moving from xp to a 64bit os and u have 4 gig of ram, ud see and be able to use it all then without the 3gig limit a 32bit kernel imposes [12:28] does anyone know why my video drivers keep putting the resolition low , and i cant seem to make it normal (1440x900)? [12:28] IdleOne: aha [12:29] <`capurro> ok? [12:29] Slart - did you try conky last night? [12:29] nemilar: well.. yes..

[12:30] how can I set the file roller to recognise .cbr format as being .tar, instead of keep telling me it's not supported? [12:30] !envy [12:30] envy is not needed or supported.

If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [12:49] is there any free nntp server like nntp.perl.org for ubuntu.thanks [12:49] zetheroo - are you installing from repos? [12:49] SleepingSloth: sorry.... sometimes I post too early after opening the chat and my post does not actually get seen [12:49] !intelhda | Samamanjaro [12:49] Samamanjaro: For fixing your Intel HDA sound this page has useful information https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto [12:50] SleepingSloth: I added the repo and the key [12:50] frawfraw: type apt-cache search libglib [12:50] SleepingSloth: I am installing through Synaptic [12:50] is there a reason not to use the ubuntu repos version? [12:51] SleepingSloth: is elisa in the Ubuntu repo? [12:51] My ISP:s name is elisa :) [12:52] SleepingSloth: I was told by someone else that I had to add a repo [12:52] I need to start program FAH504-Linux.exe every time linux loads, how should I do that. The program is run from console by command ./FAH504-Linux.exe from directory that contains that program. [12:52] frawfraw: i suppose the glib you nid to install is libglib2.0-0 [12:52] there's a test for medical purposees named ELISA :P [12:52] anyone? === angel is now known as ag3r [12:53] ene_dene: you need to start it when your machine boots? or when you log in? [12:53] what's everybody use to manage their ipods? (not amarok, looking for gtk apps..) [12:53] SleepingSloth: oh ok... I see that the Ubuntu repo has elisa media center there.... [12:53] slart I need to start it when my machine boots [12:53] !ipod | kingrayray [12:53] kingrayray: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto See !rockbox for information on liberating your iPod [12:53] Slart so it runs no matter which user is loged in [12:53] viclim: yea, but then it says the version I have is the most up to date... the problem is that I installed glib-2.10 "by hand", and now gnome won't start... I'm not sure what to do from here [12:53] SleepingSloth: but with the added repo you get elisa-extra which supposedly gives you the added features for iPod's etc [12:53] kingrayray: there are a lot, gtkpod or rhythmbox for example [12:54] does rhythmbox do it okay? i was just poking at that [12:55] kingrayray: no harm to try it out i guess, I just transfer files with the old-fashioned "copy paste from nautilus" way :P [12:55] Noapic makes X fail on boot very often. Why? (Gutsy) [12:55] frawfraw: wait a moment, this may took a while [12:55] ene_dene: then you'll have to look at the rc.d stuff which I don't know much about [12:55] viclim: sure [12:55] Slart: thanks anyway [12:57] I'm not so sure if rhythmbox can actually sync an iPod, i think it can just read and play. [12:57] SleepingSloth: Can set what to do when the power button is pressed. [12:57] SleepingSloth: but that's about it. [12:57] I want to make it not possible to suspend or hivernate [12:57] to make those options unavailable from logout & gdm [12:57] How do i see my workgroup compuiters from ubunut? [12:57] frawfraw: i suppose u can't start gdm right? [12:57] zetheroo - i see. i've just installed elisa from official repos - what repository are you using? [12:57] any way to archieve that? [12:58] viclim: gdm? like, the GUI mode? no.. I have to go direct to shell [12:58] hi [12:58] name [12:59] nick [12:59] rvalles - ah, sorry, i misunderstod you .... but i dont have an answer i'm afraid [12:59] SleepingSloth: ok [12:59] SleepingSloth: thanks anyways [12:59] does anyone know a why to blacklist device from mounting automatically [12:59] e.g [13:00] When i restart my comp from terminal or with re start button i get message from my comp that it has not found any system on my comp. Then i have to restart my comp again to be able to get grub menu. Did anyone hade same problem? [13:00] bardyr: we are actually in the process of porting it [13:00] SleepingSloth: do you have gutsy backport enabled? [13:00] [it [13:00] azureus opening and closing [13:00] whats the problem [13:00] [it's a kernel module to control our experimental robot setup here at uni] [13:00] frawfraw: nvm that, after u install libglib manually, u install the gnome right? what's the version [13:01] azureus problem [13:01] viclim: no, I didn't upgrade gnome... I just compiled glib... I didn't know there was a dependency [13:01] pawan, what problem? [13:01] azureus is opening and the closing [13:02] viclim: how do I find out my gnome version? [13:02] not able to choose any options [13:02] frawfraw: gnome-about [13:02] Why do X often fail on boot when I use noapic? [13:02] zetheroo:no [13:02] which version of ubuntu are you using? [13:03] pawan, which version of ubuntu are you using? [13:03] rvalles, i have a solution for you... [13:03] since u install glib manually [13:03] frawfraw: since u install glib manually, i suppose u still have the source directory store in ur hdd [13:03] pawan, ? [13:04] rvalles: run sudo gconf-editor [13:04] viclim: yes [13:04] frawfraw: i suppose u can try make uninstall within the source directory [13:04] gutsy [13:04] 7.10 [13:04] hey once more, the video drivers are good, last thing, intel hda drivers [13:04] can anyone help? [13:04] rvalles, then go to apps > gnome-power-manager > general, and untick can_hibernate and can_suspend [13:04] viclim: and the gnome-about doesn't work, since it gives me this "cannot open display" error [13:05] then [13:05] frawfraw: ya i forgot about that...u nid gnome to run that...sorry =.= [13:05] viclim: so I can't remove the glib with apt-get remove? [13:05] oh [13:05] frawfraw: u can, but i will remove the whole gnome environment [13:05] pawan, ok you are using the broken package, first remove the azureus version you installed, and then download this to your desktop : http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy-backports/net/azureus [13:06] pawan, and double-click it to install it [13:06] SleepingSloth: ok I got elisa installed [13:06] frawfraw: u will need to reinstall them in terminal afterward [13:06] SleepingSloth: ok [13:06] viclim: dang, so I have to try to uninstall glib... hmm... but after I uninstall it, then what? can I replace it? [13:06] pawan, tell me when you are finished, ok? [13:06] zetheroo- what was the problem? [13:06] SleepingSloth: qmail conflict with mail-transport-agent . its a vitual package and not removealbe ?!!? [13:07] SleepingSloth: well, I had to settle for the Ubuntu repo version [13:07] SleepingSloth: thing is that now when I start Elisa it opens in a window and makes everything on my screen dissapear [13:07] how to install [13:08] frawfraw: here is the command to check gnome version ""gnome-session --version" [13:08] 二 [13:08] viclim: hehe, i still get the cannot open display error [13:09] slackware-lgy: English Please [13:09] pawan, double-click the package you downloaded [13:09] bazhang, does a FAT32 hdd mount automatically?

I met weird problem. I use OGMrip. I ripped with it 2 movies, but now it ceased to work. When I set everything, and order it to extract, it does nothing. New screen displaying progress appears. But estimated encoding length is unknown, there is no progress and there is no load on CPU. [13:28] i mean, when i open a new terminal and press the up-arrorw, nothing happens. I'd like to get commands from older sessions [13:28] repair my reiserFs file system ? [13:28] Hello... how do i disable the automatic power management stuff in xubuntu 7.10 ? I don't want the screen to switch off after a period of inactivity. I've alreaady disabled the screensaver, but there's clearly something else also going on.. I also tried "xset -dpms", that doesn't do it either. [13:29] I tried to runogmrip from terminal, but no relevant data appeared. [13:29] frawfraw: i'm not pretty sure...but i will look it up now [13:29] Is there any other way for me to debug? [13:30] viclim: huh, I clicked away the "HAL" message, and now the desktop is unresponsive, but I can move the mouse pointer around... [13:30] http://img50.imageshack.us/img50/5663/capturadatelahx3.png [13:30] viclim: wait, it's back... but when I click the "shutdown" button, everything locks up for a while [13:31] Hello... how do i disable the automatic power management stuff in xubuntu 7.10 ? I don't want the screen to switch off after a period of inactivity. I've alreaady disabled the screensaver, but there's clearly something else also going on.. I also tried "xset -dpms", that doesn't do it either. [13:31] swombat, system>>preferences>>power management [13:32] frawfraw: do this in terminal hald --use-syslog [13:32] frawfraw: "hald --use-syslog" [13:32] Pici: is http://elisa.fluendo.com/ still working for you?

[13:34] Odd-rationale: heh, if that's it, it's not on xubuntu [13:34] viclim: entire system? [13:34] frawfraw: this HAL is the one dealing with ur device [13:35] swombat: Try it. Xubuntu borrows a lot from gnome. [13:35] swombat, it's name is "gnome-power-preferences", I don't know if you can install it from the repos [13:35] Odd-rationale: i did [13:35] frawfraw: erm...u r still in X enviroment? [13:35] viclim: yes [13:35] i could try just installing it, as verb3k suggests... hmm. [13:35] * swombat wonders if this will try to install hundreds of gnome packages [13:35] frawfraw: i suggest u try "Ctrl Alt Backspace" 1st [13:35] ello pplz [13:35] swombat, you must first find the package that contains it [13:36] viclim: ok, that worked [13:36] viclim: now restarting entire machine [13:36] swombat: I wouldn't.

[15:00] Seveas -- I was told I could do this with PAM by essentially creating an alternate place to look for users at auth [15:00] Then symlink this place on multiple machines [15:00] swap = 1 1/2*ram [15:00] Is there anything that is safe to delete in boot, to free up some space? [15:00] y, pam is a library -- programs ask the library 'i have this user and pass, are they right' and pam can look in different directions (local database, nis, ldap, mysql) to see if they are good [15:00] Seveas: best summary I've seen in ages [15:00] any idea how long memtest86 should take on 4gb of ram? [15:00] so with 2GB RAM I should provide 3GB swap ??? isn't that a lot? [15:00] Keithamus -> good rule of thumb: don't delete anything from /boot [15:00] y: but you still need the "other place" for pam to look at [15:01] endo: if still can't try google a bit ok? [15:01] jmaest, isnt that a outdated equation? afterall who would use more then 2gb ram? [15:01] pteague: it runs for ever until you kill it [15:01] endo: i nid to go soon [15:01] y, nis and ldap are servers you can set up on a central place where pam on several machines can look at them [15:01] sandr--> just a rule of thumb [15:01] jmaest: I understand, but Im in a bind, so I kind of need to [15:01] sandr-, i dont think you need a swap, but just use a 0.5-1gb [15:01] viclim: alright brother [15:01] ikonia> ah, was just wondering cause pass keeps hitting 100%, but test is only at 21% & test #8 [15:01] pteague, but to reach 100% completion will take quite some time - something like a couple of hours if i remember. then it will just start again [15:02] or maybe it's the reverse...

There should be a tutorial for that on tldp.org [15:03] Seveas: there is one on help.ubuntu.com thats ubuntu specific [15:03] FeaR, proceed [15:03] is there anyway I can boot up into bash without loading up a windows manager so I can un-install one?

[16:05] gilos: most fixes are just security fixes [16:06] gilos: if it aiint broke why are you trying to fix it? [16:06] it's in a DMZ so even though its not supposed to have internet access, it could. [16:06] histo: I thought that is was updated regularly [16:06] gilos: especially since its not on the internet [16:06] noodlesgc, if i unchek cdrom all soft will setup from net repo's? [16:06] dev-null no, but when it asks you for a disk, is the disk in? [16:06] is there any mode in the monitor section that works on "all" screens?

[16:14] Yonie: "sudo ip route default via «gateaway_ip» dev «iface»" if i recall correctly [16:14] benny269: Just go the url ubotu gives from !brokenflash and use an ubuntuforum login to go grab the deb which works [16:15] erUSUL, wat is iface? [16:15] some body can help my in pringting???? [16:15] can anyone help me know how update-pciids works? [16:15] Yonie: eth0 eth1 or wlan0 etc [16:15] santosh_: it goes to a website and downloads a new definition file [16:15] hi all [16:15] !brokenflash [16:15] 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. [16:16] why I can't whange owner and permissions in mounted windows partition /media/sda1 (NTFS), how can I do ? [16:16] Strange [16:16] $ totem movie.mov [16:16] ikonia: who updates it? [16:16] Segmentation fault (core dumped) [16:16] I tried with sudo of course (xubuntu gubsy Bibbon) [16:16] santosh_: the package maintainers [16:16] I've not error message but owners stay at root.plugdev ?? [16:16] genii: ok got the link, what do i need to login and do? [16:16] ikonia : sorry i mean how it is tracked? === DiGitalX` is now known as DiGitalX [16:17] darwich: did you select the driver in the Restricted Driver Manager, or through the "Screen and Graphics" menu [16:17] santosh_: what do you mean tracked ? the description file has a version, each update release incrments the version [16:17] ikonia: I mean how they know about different configuration? [16:18] santosh_: what different configuration, it's just 1 file [16:18] erUSUL, oh right, thanks :) Am I right in saying if I connect to the internet twice using USB modem and my network card it wont work unless i set a default gateway? [16:18] ikonia: yes i got it, but if a new hardware appears, how do they know about it? [16:18] Yonie: yes; and you will be only using one of the conections [16:18] santosh_: you don't - if new hardware appears the package maintainers update the file - you get the update file when you want to [16:19] Yonie: i do not see the point on having two inet conections [16:19] benny269: Go to the link for 32 or 64 bit modified deb the author made. Use an ubuntuforum login when it asks for username password. Then download and install the deb file [16:19] ikonia: thank you ikonia. i want to know how it works more than knowing that its just a file [16:19] Yonie: why do you want two ISP's connected to your machine [16:19] santosh_: what do you mean how it works [16:19] !drivers | | [16:19] Sorry, I don't know anything about drivers - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [16:19] Whats the difference between ascii and passphrase wep key? [16:20] santosh_: lspci is a binary application, that reads device ID's from a flat file and offers a human readable output [16:20] ikonia: How it helps? [16:20] santosh_: how it helps ??? it shows you information about your hardware, thats it [16:20] Hello all. My system is very unstable at the moment. How do i fix it? With unstable i mean looks are breaking, compiz is unstable, and panels are screwed up. And Ubuntu randomly crashes. [16:20] ikonia, My adsl is capped, so i have only 2gigs per month, so I want to use another line to download that big stuff and use my adsl to surf [16:20] *that = the [16:20] Yonie: that is impracticle [16:20] Arelis, that is impossible to diagnose remotely.... [16:21] ikonia: Yes i know that, what i mean is i want to know how different hardwares are identified? [16:21] santosh_: each hardware has a device ID - that device ID is listed in the file with a human readable name [16:21] Arelis: try disabling compiz, I heard that it wasnt that stable [16:21] Arelis, random crashes are often caused by hardware problems though - has this hardware been stable before? [16:21] SleepingSloth: Yes. [16:21] Arelis - and how are temps etc? [16:22] hello [16:22] I need some help with this "problem": [16:22] Arelis: is this related to all the osx mods you made a while back? [16:22] SleepingSloth: How can i check? I think they're okay though. This is dad's pc, which he built himself. [16:22] ikonia: I checked that. You mean it is not useful more than just knowing the hardware info? [16:22] bazhang: Yes. [16:22] danbhfive, Arelis , i run compiz without problem on both 32 and 64 bit platforms. it may be part of the problem, but i wouldnt call it unstable at all [16:22] ikonia, i can get it to work in windows really well [16:22] I need to rename the Desktop folder in the home directory. Where do I need to change in Gnome to do this for all users [16:22] ? [16:22] Arelis, check in the bios on boot. [16:23] Yonie: iptables/quos traffic shaping is the only real way to manage that, that I'm aware of [16:23] genii: i get a warning suggesting that i use an older version available from the software channel. should i ignore this? [16:23] SleepingSloth: when they first released Gutsy, I thought there was debate about including Compiz because it wasnt stable. They said that most would experience no problems, but some people would [16:24] ikonia, well im really new here so i dont actually know how to do that stuff :s All the tutorials i have found use 2 eth connections [16:24] my real problem is tthat they rename the folder Desktop to "Área de Trabalho" in pt-br and I need to return it to Desktop [16:24] any ideas ? [16:24] arelis, but assuming its software and not hardware, the only real way to start diagnosing your sort of problem is to strip down what you're running until it is stable, then go from there [16:24] Yonie what software are you using in windows to manage your connection ? [16:25] Yonie: how are you telling windows "if a file = 2meg of bigger go here, else go the other one" [16:25] danbhfive, ah - I wasn't aware of that debate- just assumed it's inclusion in stable repos meant it was considered stable.... [16:25] <_Johnny6> ciao [16:25] <_Johnny6> list [16:26] danbhfive, but that would be a slightly worying trend if it were true [16:26] SleepingSloth: Well i'm starting to think, although i'm not sure, that Ubuntu ITSELF is unstable (to me). Sometimes it broke while i was just doing normal things, while doing work in open office. Rebooting usually fixed the minor problems, so it isn't really that much of a hassle, but i remember something happened after i installed kubuntu, that made all settings screw up, and i had to reinstall. [16:26] ikonia: may i know if i am right? You mean its only useful for knowing the hardware info? [16:26] benny269: yes [16:26] santosh_: that's its function [16:26] santosh_: lspci = "list PCI devices" [16:27] Arelis, what release? [16:27] SleepingSloth: 7.10, Gutsy Gibbon. [16:27] Arelis: that seems highly unlikely; you have so many modifications on there that unraveling the conflicts could take a while [16:27] hi, how can i have only the tray icon for a program load on startup? i cant find the function in the application settings but im wondering if there is a way [16:27] hi [16:28] bazhang: Well, these things happened on different installs, some of them pure and unmodified, others heavily modified. although on all of them, different stuff happened, except for the libraries breaking.. did that with every install [16:28] ikonia, i dont do that, what i do is, i route the other connection to a spacific IP, its actually a proxy server, then i just configure a download manager to download from that proxy only [16:28] SleepingSloth: well, thats why there was a debate about it. I think the hope is that Gutsy isn't considered a totally stable release. But, the upcoming Hardy is supposed to be LTS. So maybe it was like a trial run with compiz, in anticipation of Hardy [16:29] Arelis: the point is that if you install a lot of stuff outside the main repos there is a chance of breakage; that is not on ubuntu [16:29] Yonie: do the same in liunux then [16:29] bazhang: It was all in the official repo's. [16:29] ikonia, trying :P [16:30] gnome-look is considered the repos? :} [16:30] bazhang: When i installed Kubuntu, i had konqueror not displaying flash sites. I had full menus of both GNOME and KDE apps (although there's something on the 'net that can organise that), and Kontact was constantly crashing on me for some reason. [16:30] danbhfive, i hope you're right, and we're not heading towards a 'keeping up with the joneses' OS. I'm sure that won't happen, but these kind of slopes are usually slippery... [16:30] bazhang: Mac4lin was just a package with gnome theme and icons and some themes for other programs which i placed in my home directory. i did NONE of the tweaks to the system itself (for example uSplash) [16:31] anyway - i'm off topic, and off home. take it easy everyone [16:31] Arelis: no worries here; also no heavy modifications :} [16:33] ikonia: Thankyou, have any idea, i have problem with external mouse. It doesnt work after i configured my display with dpkg-reconfigure [16:33] ikonia: i have compaq laptop [16:34] santosh_: if you reconfigured xserver, that hits the mouse too [16:35] santosh_: were there any backups of your xserver file? [16:35] Hello, how can I make or do in ubuntu 6.06 be pinged bye host name in a windows domain network. Ping by IP works fine but not bye hostname [16:35] by* [16:35] hi, how can i have only the tray icon for a program load on startup? i cant find the function in the application settings but im wondering if there is a way [16:35] danbhfive: thank you, i actually configured by display using that, ofcourse in between it asked to configure my mouse and keyboard also. [16:36] kenan: open System->Preferences->Sessions [16:36] santosh_: yeah, if it was xserver, that manages all three of those [16:36] Hi. Does anyone know how to remove a device in Device Manager? I am trying to get my mouse buttons to work correctly and I have found two device entries for the same mouse. One say "Macintosh mouse button emulation" which is odd, considering I am using a PC. The other is "Cordless Optical TrackMan" which is correct. I think the Mac mouse button emulation may be causing a problem - dont know how it got there [16:37] danbhfive: there is a backup file i will be able to revert to make mouse working but about display?

I know the system monitor tool will but that's a gui. i need something i can use in a terminal from a remote connection [16:37] noodlesgc: i know how to get it on startup but the thing is everytime i log in i get the program open but i just want the tray icon, i dont want the window to actually open on startup [16:37] santosh_: I would open both files, in the new one created, leave the display section alone, and copy the old mouse section over the one in the new file [16:38] musashi "ip -s link show" will give you some info [16:38] you'll have to run it multiple times and do some math to get a picture over time [16:38] kenan: look in the man page for a option (like --hidden) if not you might be able to hack something together with alltray [16:39] hello [16:39] juannicolas: Is the 6.06 box a server running samba? Also, is it a primary then or secondary. Also broadcast address if set up statically is needed. [16:39] i have installed gutsy using network boot, installation went smooth, grb also got installed [16:39] but system doesnt boot from HDD [16:39] KaiForce: thanks. that did give some info but what i'm really looking for is a running output of up and down traffic [16:40] the alternate CD got me around my installation problem with the Gutsy CD, thanks to all who suggested it, including and . [16:40] dreamil: Change boot order in bios? [16:40] Hey i have a file that is encrypted with 128 bit aes what appt would i use to decrypt that? [16:40] genii: did that [16:40] genii It doeas have samba, but is neither primary nor secundary. Is justa a machine in the windows domain with a static IP, but i want the others machines to ping it by hostname and ip [16:40] orion1: truecrypt? depends on what made it [16:40] i have one windows partition which is primary and all others are logical [16:41] is that a problem? [16:41] juannicolas: The specify it's broadcast address in the static settings. Then it will announce to the network it exists, and it's name so they can access it [16:41] Out of curiosity, does ubotu accept multi parameter querys/triggers such as !bad language | phenom, for example? [16:41] :) [16:42] genii ok, so how can I do that exaclty? [16:42] Or only single parameters such as !language | phenom? [16:42] you can message the bot phenom [16:42] juannicolas: Did you set the IP by telling a router to give always the same IP to it, or by modifying it in ubuntu? [16:43] genii: thanks [16:43] genii I asked the IT to grant me an static IP and I set it up manually in the ubuntu machine. [16:44] I need now to be able to ping that machine by hostname without any help from IT [16:44] little question, may be someone knows it. I installed ubuntu in VMware. Windows ist Host OS and I need it that I can connect to the (in linux) installed mysql server 5 [16:44] I can't get an connect [16:44] phenom: yes, multi-word triggers exist. [16:44] maybe I need to open a port or so [16:44] can someone tell me where I have to check that? [16:44] just found out about gnome-do its pretty cool and reminds me of Launchy. Anyone knows of a website with cool gnome apps ? [16:46] drgeb, I just get stuff using apt [16:46] KaiForce: how do i install truecrypt its not in apt-get [16:46] Hello Everyone! [16:46] Symbi0nt: You need to tell mysql to allow access for your user from addresses other than localhost. [16:47] Cool thanks guys. [16:47] orion1: www.truecrypt.com, and dont' bother if you don't know the password or keyfiles it was encrypted with! [16:47] drgeb: You can look at http://www.gnomefiles.com/ but it's always best to install from the repos when at all possible [16:47] hey does anyone know were the online repositories are for Hardy heron? [16:47] Pici : hmm I made an user which acceopts access from "%" ... [16:47] Do you have an hint where to do so? [16:47] juannicolas: Sorry for lag, work required me. OK, so IT dept gave you also some netmask? If so what is it, then we know the broadcast IP [16:47] hey, sorry to be the guy who joins for help, but im having trouble installing 7.10 64 bit on my system, from what i have read 7.10 has issues with the ati cards but how do i get around this and get it to instal [16:48] Symbi0nt: I personally would do it from the mysql administrator gui tool, I'm not familiar with the backend method. [16:48] any help would be appreciated [16:48] ... repositories for Hardy Heron... does anyone know where those are? ive looked high and low [16:48] linux mysql has a gui tool? [16:48] Test [16:49] genii Yes, IT grante me an IP so, from my windows machine or other machine in the domain I can ping the linux by IP but not by hostname. [16:49] anyone here know anything abou ssh tunnelling? [16:49] I wanna ask that which OS was used in Die Hard 4? [16:49] usamahashimi: lol its a movie [16:49] Hi. Does anyone know how to remove a device in Device Manager? I am trying to get my mouse buttons to work correctly and I have found two device entries for the same mouse. One say "Macintosh mouse button emulation" which is odd, considering I am using a PC. The other is "Cordless Optical TrackMan" which is correct. I think the Mac mouse button emulation may be causing a problem - dont know how it got there [16:49] but i do need the repositories for Hardy does anyone know what they are? [16:49] usamahashimi: probably wasn't a real OS [16:50] Good afternoon. I'm having some problems installing Ubuntu from the desktop installation CD (v 7.10) on an old laptop.. Keep getting the errrors shown on this forum post: http://georgia.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=638257 It would appear it's a problem mounting the CD from what forums seem to suggest, although the laptop boots from the CD fine. I've run a CD integrity check and it's all good... What can I do? :0 [16:50] Yancho: Are you running hardy? [16:50] !hardy | YangYin [16:50] YangYin: hardy is Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE PRE BETA (ALPHA) SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu [16:50] nmap was in Matrix ;) [16:50] YangYin: Are you running hardy?

To deduce this we need to know something like: ip is 192.168.99.131/32 or netmask is 255.255.255.255 or so [16:52] Symbi0nt: if you use the IP of the machine you can still access it from 127.0.0.1 [16:52] thnx [16:52] im having trouble installing 7.10 64 bit on my system, from what i have read 7.10 has issues with the ati cards but how do i get around this and get it to install [16:52] genii netmask - 255.255.255.0 [16:52] imterro, does it boot from the cd ok?

[18:01] xomp: yea too many things to play with is a problem [18:01] leal: bluetooth? not really sure there dont use it now [18:01] bazhang : there is a error [18:01] xomp: did this black theme come with ubuntu? if so just add a bug report :) [18:01] Mutabor_on: it is a bot :} [18:01] Mutabor_on spasibo: command not found [18:01] ubuntu_: It depends which partitioner. For cli : sudo fdisk /dev/ for the gui: gksu gparted [18:01] gmenelau: what error [18:01] mage, haha yeah. One would think if they changed the panel color that you would also have an option to change the text color as that would directly impact it, but there is no such option outside of some serious (and confusing) hacks and cracks etc.. lol [18:01] bazhang: could you try it? i mean, just right click some file in nautilus, and see what options you have in the "sendto" menu? [18:02] ubuntu_: means thanks in russian :} [18:02] xomp: or you can try editing the theme, compare with one that has white text [18:02] Hi. [18:02] kama: what is the exact path for etc/x11 [18:02] jonellis: The -phigh basically just does the resolutions change and not entire xorg reconfig [18:02] Mutabor_on thanks dude you rock [18:02] Does anyone know of any Sine wav generators that can work in Ubuntu? [18:02] jonellis, yes /etc/X11/xorg.conf.xxxxxx [18:02] leal: I am on kde; perhaps some of the other fine folks would though :} [18:02] mage, nope, I just right clicked on the panel and went to properties, then clicked the background tab and chose to use a solid color of black lol [18:02] xomp: just imagine you programmed it ;) [18:02] bazhang is e very long like : W: Failed to fetch http:/ [18:03] oic [18:03] Tetracomm: do you just need time-value pairs? [18:03] how do set up ssh to a 3rd computer (behind a NAT) without logging on to the 2nd computer and have access to X window of the 3rd computer? am in computer 1 off course [18:03] gmenelau: do you have the repositories enabled? [18:03] mage, that's why I think it's a 2 step forward, 12 steps back for linux to not include an option to change text color when chaning a bg color lol.. But I have faith still that all will come together :) [18:03] Tetracomm: a sine-wav generator, or generically, a function generator, is a piece of electronic equipment. [18:03] baxhang what is that? [18:04] bazhang: maybe i should use kde too. :) [18:04] A computer program which can generate tones, like SineGen. [18:04] channel list ? [18:04] gmenelau: are you in synaptic now? [18:04] like buying a car that can only turn left, sure it will work.. but limits you a lot hehe [18:04] yes [18:04] !irc | CruCio [18:04] CruCio: A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines [18:04] How do you do all I truth from Russia shall try to talk with you [18:04] bazhang yes [18:04] is there a way that I can get my Lexmark 5470 printer going on Gutsy? [18:05] gmenelau: under settings do you see repositories? [18:05] xomp: no its like a car with the left side of the dash is replacable with a different color, dont mix function with looks :p [18:05] Ubuntu 7.10 AMD64 with shipped kernel on E2160 CPU, "sudo modprobe acpi-cpufreq" yields "No such device". What should I do? [18:05] .. [18:05] leal: haha [18:05] lol [18:05] bazhang yes i see 2 [18:05] bazhang yes [18:05] mage, I think being able to "see" your functions a function in itself :P [18:05] gmenelau: you need to enable the first four iirc [18:06] Bazhang, kama, and JeffMasterFlex: THANKS VERY MUCH - All working now [18:06] bazhang they are enable [18:06] what is the command to delete files from terminal? [18:06] gmenelau: then hit reload or update--forget the gui, this will update your sources list--then search for compiz [18:06] oddalot, rm [18:06] thanks [18:07] no worries jonellis [18:07] is there a command to remove an entire directory? [18:07] hey anyone here know anything about flash in 64bit gusty? [18:07] xomp: crash a car into a wall because you couldn't see the dash and I'll see your side of things ;) [18:07] oddalot: rm -rf [18:07] oddalot: rm -rf [18:07] thanks [18:07] ha [18:07] hehe === bmk789_class is now known as bmk789 [18:07] thanks again [18:08] oddalot: you don't usually need the -f [18:08] bazhang i didnt unterstand [18:08] k [18:08] oddalot: only if it keeps prompting you if you're sure over and over again [18:08] does anyone know offhand if Evolution supports IMAP push? [18:08] is there a way to unlock a dir from the gui? [18:08] Does anyone know of any Sine wav generators that can work in Ubuntu? [18:08] wave* [18:09] gmenelau: close the repositories window and go back to the main synaptic window--there should be something like reload--see it? [18:09] oddalot: you have to change permission using chown [18:09] gawd my printer crashed my compiz [18:09] mage, is there a quick way to find out the version of gnome that's installed? All of thes gtk hacks I've been finding on google refer to gnome 2.0. I think there's a new 2.2 or something out for gnome and can't remember if my updates covered that. [18:09] tetracomm...you can't use an online calculator? [18:09] back [18:09] anyone know how I can get lexmark 5470 to work on Gutsy? [18:09] !lexmark [18:09] Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows [18:09] oddalot: I do not want a calculator. [18:09] I want a test tone generator. [18:09] Sort of like SineGen. [18:10] ive tried the nspluggin from here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=476924 (the r48) and it worked for some sites, but not all so i tried the other (r115) and then nothing worked, so i tried to install r48 again and still nothing, any help? [18:10] bazhang : yes it was but still there is a error windows [18:10] olskolirc: lexmark printers are notorious for being either paper weights or just barely usable in linux [18:10] xomp: consult in a package manager app like synaptic? [18:10] mich54: You may want to try the -server kernel then , it has stuff like that enabled by default so you don't need to manually recompile, etc [18:10] bah, i'm trying to run the nvidia config & i keep getting this error - "Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server \ Xlib: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key \ \ (nvidia-settings:6240): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:" [18:10] mage, good idea! *checks* [18:10] gmenelau: did you reload or just try to install [18:10] what is a good all-in-one printer for linux? [18:10] jeffMASTERflex, [18:10] hp is generally good olskolirc [18:11] olskolirc: most long time linux users stick to hp [18:11] yes, HP [18:11] olskolirc: most HP have worked well for me [18:11] olskolirc, in my experience, HP and epson have worked pretty well [18:11] anyone use PhoneManager can it support USB Phone connection ? I do see Bus 001 Device 013: ID 0421:0411 Nokia Mobile Phones when using lsusb [18:11] genii : this is something else than the gutsy gibson and this stuff , right ? [18:11] does that include all-in-one printers? [18:11] The HP 2840 here works most awesomely [18:11] i cant play any video on my intel X3100, is there a bug in the video driver or how can i fix it? [18:11] five votes for hp [18:11] bazhang i reload and then i try to install [18:11] olskolirc: I have managed to get a Konica Minolta Magicolor 2400W working well using the driver that came with Ubuntu [18:12] is that an all-in-one jonellis ? [18:12] gmenelau: could you pastebin your sources list to pastebin? and the error message if you wish [18:12] mich54: No, all ubuntu release have a server kernel version. gutsy included [18:12] olskolirc: No, its a colour laser, but quite a cheap one. Print quality is good too [18:12] ok [18:12] gmenelau: not in the channel though [18:12] thanks guys [18:13] so how can i upgrade mine to be a kernel server ? [18:13] mich54: eg: sudo apt-get install linux-image-server would do it [18:13] bazhan can you sent me the link? [18:13] !paste | gmenelau [18:13] gmenelau: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [18:14] mich54: You shouldnt need the server kernel to use libpcap. I've had it working on all of my ubuntu installs. [18:14] heeee bazhang !! suupp maaaann ?? [18:14] I'm having a hard time with ubuntu conecting to shared folders on my windows computer [18:14] So no one knows of any tone generators for Linux? [18:14] hi CruCio [18:15] Hi guys, just pop up again. Ubuntu 7.10 AMD64 with shipped kernel on E2160 CPU, "sudo modprobe acpi-cpufreq" yields "No such device". Can insert cpufreq_*.ko but no help. What should I do? [18:15] * CruCio Pats bazhang [18:15] * CruCio Pats bazhang* [18:15] damnit!! [18:15] I'm having issues with flash in firefox. It won't play most embedded videos. For example, youtube (at youtube.com) displays fine, but stumblevideo shows an all-white background (although the audio works).

[18:15] gmenelau: okay checking now [18:15] genii : do u know anythin about enabling the packet protocol ? [18:15] Where do you guys go online to download ubuntu themes? [18:15] genii : though i think it is enabled here [18:15] !themes > orion1 (Please see the private messsage from ubotu) [18:16] mich54: What program are you trying to get to work that needs libpcap? [18:16] hi... I'm having problems with my wi-fi driver (ipw3945) and I don't think it'll be fixed for gutsy... so I'm thinking of compiling 2.6.24 myself... is it a good idea? [18:16] Pici , think u could help me install java on ubuntu PPC ? [18:16] come to channel #ubuntu-powerpc ? [18:16] CruCio: I dont have a ppc, nor have I used linux on one so, I wont be of much help. [18:16] pici : kismet [18:17] mich54: Kismet is in the software repositories, it should install fine from there. [18:17] gmenelau: seems to be a connection error; perhaps a server issue--you might want to try again in a bit--did you pastebin your sources list or is that your only problem [18:17] mich54: sudo apt-get install kismet [18:17] muszek: you could package it for us ;) [18:17] jeffMASTERFLEX: I don't see any binaries nor instructions. I'm new to Linux. Did you see anything else? [18:17] I'm having a hard time with ubuntu conecting to shared folders on my windows computer [18:17] Tetracomm: third result from google search http://www.aa6e.net/aa6e/software/tone/index.html . did you actually try looking?

[18:18] any help will be great [18:18] nblracer: I have the same problem [18:18] nblracer: terribly slow [18:18] bazhang , my only problem is this withe the advance desktop effect [18:18] how long should this take "move /dev/sda1 to the left and shrink it from 70.26 GiB to 39.07 GiB" [18:18] muszek: it is likely network manager that is the culprit--I have that same card and it is very well supported in linux and ubuntu [18:18] DRebellion: I've never compiled a kernel, nor packaged anything... would you really want to install it from me? :D [18:19] it not slow, [18:19] muszek: i don't think you'd have to compile the whole kernel [18:19] my screen is extending left and right over the physical size of the monitor, any ideas? [18:19] gmenelau: okay, well try again in a bit; the server might be having some issues [18:19] pici : i'll try but r u sure that if it needs to enable the packet protocol , it will ? [18:19] it just says it cant display the contents [18:19] mich54: It should "just work", you'll need to edit /etc/kismet/kismet.conf after installed to use your wifi devices though. [18:19] bazhang but this problem i have it for a long long time now is not only now or today [18:20] !software > mich54 (Please see the private messsage from ubotu) [18:20] gmenelau: I have to step away for a bit; if your issue persists then other more knowledgeable folks can help out--I will of course be here tomorrow :} [18:20] ubuntu_: It can take a long time. I've seen resize/move operations take a few hours. [18:20] DRebellion: i looked in both windows evnts and my router logs, i dont see any thing [18:20] pici : thx for that [18:20] bazhang , well think u could help me ? [18:20] bazhang ok thanks a lot [18:21] bazhang: it is ipw3945... there are many bug reports on launchpad. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.22/+bug/109887<-- example [18:21] genii : thank u so much , u've been helpfull too [18:21] bazhang: it is ipw3945... there are many bug reports on launchpad. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.22/+bug/109887 <-- example [18:21] I don't know why, but I'm constantly getting messages about "Battery has disconnected" and "Battery Connected" messages like every 5 seconds on this laptop. Probably a good indication that the battery isn't making a good connection with the laptop? [18:21] sorry... [18:21] CruCio: I have to step away for a bit; others will likely be more helpful [18:21] everyone is getting help except me!!

[18:25] Meronik, not myself, but the support I've got from here has been awesome and everyone seems to know their stuff [18:26] apt uses a program called aptatude type it in a term and take a look around [18:26] hi [18:26] si it possible to know everything about ubuntu?

I've tried everything I can think of with ndiswrapper; I've tried several different windows drivers, etc. but I can't get my wireless light to activate or my wireless card to be added under network interface devices. Anyone have experience with this? [18:28] DRebellion: Yes. [18:29] Tetracomm: then compile from source. do a google search. [18:29] meronik: well programming in linux requires knowledge of many different lanuadges, c , c++ and python and more, so maybe difficult [18:29] Ubuntu on Dell systems usually = massive fail. Ubuntu on HP/Compaq devices usually = Win! Just imo :) [18:29] is there a specific channel for ubuntu 64-bit or ubuntu server? [18:29] Could someone help me install the Chart::Base perl module? CPAN can't seem to find it [18:30] really dumb question, is there a command or program that will randomize a group of files into random names? [18:30] * xomp is AFK, smoke time :D [18:31] xomp: I have had success running ubuntu on Dell machines. Moreso with newer versions of ubuntu [18:31] I'm sorry.

You need to try and find the actual chipset that the wireless card in your laptop uses then search and see if you can find a driver to run it. [18:32] what dell you tryin to install on? [18:32] hello [18:32] hi [18:32] I am runnin Fiesty on my inspiron 1520 as we type lol [18:32] keba: moin [18:32] i1520 as well here, TheAnalogGuy [18:32] hello everyone, my Ubuntu would report a wrong free space of my USB mass storage device sometimes [18:32] lol im in school [18:32] what dosent want to work for you? [18:32] often less than the actual free space [18:33] my X3100 gpu crashes every program that attempts to play video using xv; x11, gl, and gl2 all work but not xv [18:33] slaani - I use a plug in card (PCMCIA) - Belkin G+ MIMO [18:33] bmk789: are you using compiz? [18:33] Rainarrow: how much less? [18:33] while Windows and other devices could report the correct capacity [18:33] danand: thanks for the advice. i've got a wireless card I can use here, but I'd like to use the integrated one if I can [18:33] bmk789: so why not use all of those instead of xv? [18:33] TheAnalogGuy: I can't get my wireless to work (dell 1395 mini) [18:33] dell sells computers with ubuntu on them from factroy [18:34] DRebellion: use the situation I'm currently dealing with as we speak as example, it's a 4GB Memory Stick, both my PSP and Windows report it as 800MB free [18:34] ive a short question, i want to have the close maximaze and minimaze buttons on the left isntead of the right(like macosx) but i dont want to use another theme, can i do this in a config file [18:34] jeffMASTERflex: i cant set miro to use anything but xv [18:34] DRebellion: while my Ubuntu box report it as 58MB free [18:34] crdlb: yes but i get the same result without it [18:34] slaani - Integrated is nicer :) [18:34] What version Ubuntu ya running? [18:34] does anyone no how to get past the WEP on a protected internet thang?

I the same thing in Ubuntu, but does not work. Someone I can give a hint? [18:34] bmk789: well you're never going to get Xv working in compiz (known driver limitation - that's why it's blacklisted), but I don't know why it would be broken in metacity [18:35] lol sry [18:35] i never said that [18:35] lol [18:35] DRebellion: it generally happens after I delete something in the USB drive with Ubuntu [18:35] damon: a simple google search can help you out with that one. try to keep that out of the official support channels [18:35] damon: dont you know the encryption code for it?? [18:35] crdlb: i mostly use KDE without compiz and thats when i found the problem [18:35] Rainarrow: i don't know what would cause that, sorry. [18:35] DRebellion: nevermind, thanks anyway [18:35] there is a restricted driver for my lan, I think its the broadcom I have, you check the restricted drivers? [18:36] Rainarrow: When you delete things, they go to the .trash folder. To permanently delete them, do Shidt+Del [18:36] damon - Airsnort ;) [18:36] cdeszaq: I was using Shift+Del, or Windows/other device won't report a larger free space [18:36] TheAnalogGuy: I don't even know what you mean by that. So, no. Where should I look for these restricted drivers? [18:36] how do i change grub to add a new entry to it? [18:36] !grub | Eckos [18:36] Eckos: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [18:37] its under the settings menu in administration [18:37] !grub|Rainarrow [18:37] Rainarrow: i think i know what your problem is. i had a similar issue in on my Memory Stick. when you delete somehting form the stick, it goes into .Trash in the memory stick! unmask hidden folders and delete .Trash [18:37] Eckos - edit /boot/grub/menu.lst [18:37] called restricted drivers manager [18:37] Rainarrow: after you have deleted a file, does it show up in the .Trash folder [18:37] hey im back [18:37] thanks [18:37] nm [18:38] damon - Airsnort ;) [18:38] Ok, I found it. There's a restricted driver entitled "Conexant Modem Engine", set to enabled. The only other one is my video driver. [18:38] (both say "In use") [18:38] jeffMASTERflex: thanks, but I was using Shift+Del when deleting the files! if I just moved the files into .trash, my PSP or Windows box won't report a larger free space than my Ubuntu box right? [18:38] slaani: i thought we were talking wireless? [18:38] cdeszaq: no it won't, mostly it goes well [18:39] cdeszaq: and this issue won't happen, it just happen once in a while [18:39] Rainarrow: odd [18:39] damon - only to be used for legitimate security checking of networks though - NOT cracking! [18:39] DRebellion: we are, I'm just reporting what I found in the restricted drivers manager. === talaren is now known as pteague_work [18:39] cdeszaq: however it's happened repeatedly [18:39] hello [18:39] slaani: that 'modem' probably doesn't refer to your wireless card [18:39] cdeszaq: about 3 times so far [18:40] cdeszaq: I guess I messed up the FAT on the USB drive somehow [18:40] is there any ubuntu developer [18:40] cdeszaq: which lead to a incorrectly calculated capacity [18:40] Rainarrow: Could be. Try saving the data to a hard drive, and re-formatting it [18:40] marcin_ant: /join #ubuntu-devel [18:40] cdeszaq: I'm doing it right now, and that's how I deal with this prob [18:41] cdeszaq: I just want to ask here for some hint about how to prevent it and why, lol [18:41] DRebellion: sadly, I think you're right. i can't even get my wireless to be recognized: after installing the drivers via ndiswrapper the device is recognized *within* ndiswrapper, but by nothing else. [18:41] Rainarrow: And it comes back? [18:41] what wireless card model is it? [18:41] cdeszaq: of cuz, it comes back right after I format it [18:41] slaani: you checked output from the command 'dmesg' ? [18:41] cdeszaq: I copy all file to my hdd drive [18:41] then check the capacity of the file I copied out, which is correct [18:42] Dell Wireless 1395 mini. I'm working on getting a model number of whatever device it *actually* is, but that's what Dell calls it. [18:42] DRebellion: not yet, going to do it now. [18:42] DRebellion: ok I will I just need to shout some ugly words to all these idiots that are responsible for this crap called "ubuntu-server" and now you can ban me... [18:42] is this correct? [18:42] http://rafb.net/p/0bbjHe50.html [18:42] then do a format, after which I immediately copy all the data back to USB [18:42] then the free space is reported correctly [18:42] DRebellion: the output is reaaaally long. What should I be looking for? [18:43] slaani: anything to do with wireless. its a log from when you booted [18:43] and, another question, anyone here with Ubuntu on a Thinkpad of any model? [18:43] http://www.uluga.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=405990 has a promising looking wetup to get it going [18:43] DRebellion: ok, lemme look through this. give me a minute. [18:44] You know Thinkpads has hardware-based volume control, which directly affect the volume of the speakers [18:44] however the GNOME will respond to these volume control simultaneously [18:44] Eckos - Looks ok to me - try it!! [18:44] resulting when I press the volume key on my Thinkpad T43, both the hardware volume and the Master volume in GNOME is changed [18:44] Does anyone know if its possible to get PHP tooltips in gedit?

I am trying to get the forward and back buttons to work on a Logitech Cordless Trackman Optical. Its has 10 buttons. I have edited xorg.conf, adding the line Option "Buttons" "10".

[19:12] DRebellion: thanks [19:12] Moduliz0r, or, yeah, passwd, but that'll contain stuff you won't want, imo [19:13] slaani: nah, its fun! [19:13] i tried to create an account and it buggered up, so I have an entry in /home, but its not in passwd, phew [19:13] Moduliz0r, deluser user [19:13] DRebellion: I'm happy you think so, but I sadly do not agree. [19:13] slaani, to work out the wireless card do this "sudo lshw" and read the contents of the file - if you find something that looks like it put it on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org [19:13] if there is no entry in passwd, i'll assume it's safe to delete their home dir [19:14] I am having problems with the workarea selector in the toolbar.

When I insert the live cd and install I have to use graphics safe mode. If I understand correctly this uses a vesa driver? I would like to use a driver for my card as I think I am having some small performance issues. When I watch video from youtube or G-Video it will stutter occasionally while playing. Also when I do anything visual I see my CPU usage% increase sharply. Am I making a fair conclusio [20:00] n that this is related to my video driver? I have tried both the "ati" and the "r128" driver but I get the same response with both. I see some trash on the screen with the old style x-windows courser and the computer locks up. Is there another driver? Is there another step I need to preform before I change the driver with the gui?

Except that rw instead of ro and add sync as option. If defaults is one of the options mount showed, don't use that since nosync is a deafult. [20:56] i modified my monitor setting (to reflect my real monitor) and native resolution wasn't an option. Now I can't get native resolution back. How can I fix that?

[21:19] * genii thanks the floodbot [21:19] pewpewpew: i don't think he really has anything relevant to say. [21:19] !paste | mikebot [21:19] mikebot: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [21:20] flare183 strange well i wrothe that i have a broadcom card [21:20] Leechzilla: Try just then: mount /media/External [21:20] IndyGunFreak: I just wanted to contribute for once. :] [21:20] lol [21:20] mikebot: the kernel's ringbuffer is already eaten up by iptables output as it seems [21:20] genii: mount: according to mtab, /dev/sde1 is mounted on /media/External_ [21:20] Task: how big is your third partition [21:20] 80 gigs [21:20] so LjL, anything am doind wrong ? [21:20] MeNoS: you shouldn't have this line: "deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ feisty free non-free" unless you are on Feisty. and the line that says "deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ Gutsy free non-free" should have a *lowercase* G in gutsy [21:20] Leechzilla: You did not edit the /etc/mtab did you? [21:20] Nope [21:20] mikebot: capture the dmesg output immediately after the misbehaved reboot [21:20] I didn't [21:21] Task: thats an absurd amount of space for swap... swap, should usually be 1.5-2x system ram [21:21] Leechzilla: Ah, the "_" there might be important [21:21] hnaz: it'll be quite some time still before his paste finishes [21:21] LjL , i didn't had it before but i later added it since nothing was working [21:21] genii, but I don't have an External_ [21:21] Swap = *Nix and Windows can both use that space ?// [21:21] MeNoS: well the uppercase G certainly wouldn't help [21:21] Task: what *I* would do, delete the third partition, and have 1 big second partition, start the installer, and choose to let ubuntu install to the empty partition, once it does that, the installer will automatically set up a swap system for you.. [21:22] Leechzilla: OK, so safe in this particular instance to remove that 1 line from /etc/mtab but do not normally ever edit it [21:22] Task: unless you have some other reason for that third parttion taht i don't know. [21:22] wang_: one secdf [21:22] sec* [21:22] ok LjL , i removed it again , now am gonna try installing the jre again [21:22] MeNoS: you of course need to « sudo apt-get update » first [21:22] Basically acting like A dump.... and also where wine apps will be installed [21:22] so it can use the existing files off windows installs [21:23] ok [21:23] wait [21:23] Task: how big is partition 2? [21:23] genii: Any possibility I could mess up something if I do that? It sounds unsafe [21:23] ummm 20 gigs [21:23] Which kernel versio Ubuntu Warty it Has ? [21:23] sn0: Where can i get the firmware file for fwcutter? [21:23] slipttees: why would you care? warty has not been supported for ages === ChaoticMind is now known as ChaoticMind|afk [21:23] wang_: ok what "version", for example 4301 [21:23] !away > ChaoticMind|afk (ChaoticMind|afk, see the private message from Ubotu) [21:23] Anyone familiar with the convert command? I'm trying to shrink some images, but can only enlarge them. [21:23] hey, goes Ubuntu have a "network" applicatin to see how many packets sent/recieved like Windows XP does? [21:23] Task: guess its jsut a matter of opinion, but i dont' think i' do it like that [21:24] wang_: which one do you have? [21:24] hmm LjL , there is a problem ? [21:24] warty is ancient [21:24] MeNoS: a problem? [21:24] ubuntuo: ping [21:24] flare183 can we use the pm? [21:24] I know [21:24] ubuntuo, tcpdump [21:24] BUt if I do... both OS's can use that space ? [21:24] my grandmother used warty during the WWI [21:24] ubuntuo, ethereal [21:24] ubuntuo: try ifconfig [21:24] wang_: yeah either that or join #ubuntu-us-sc [21:24] using it in Pentium II :D [21:24] is it possible to install the remote access software called Letmein on ubuntu [21:24] i did the sudo apt-get ypdate and in the end it says E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? === leonel_ is now known as leonel [21:24] thanks guys, but when i click my "network" icon it doesnt display any info like XP does [21:24] join #ubuntu-us-sc [21:24] lol [21:24] MeNoS: close Synaptic or whatever is still using the APT system [21:24] does ubuntu have something for that? [21:25] is this something that needs to be fixed in my sources.list ? [21:25] IndyGunFreak If I do... bot OS's can use that space? [21:25] both* [21:25] Task: use what space? [21:25] Leechzilla: Since the thing was mounted readonly anyways it is fine right now. But as a general rule you don't want to be doing it. [21:25] MeNoS: try closing synaptic [21:25] Which kernel version Ubuntu Warty it has ? [21:25] hnaz: You know what, when I just did it it worked. [21:25] <[Scooter]> hey everyone, has anyone had any luck using the Sony LocationFree with mplayer or anything like that? [21:25] genii: It's mounted read/write [21:25] ubuntuo, you should have seen a couple of replies from me -- programs that allow you to see network traffic [21:25] ok i did and it says some files failed to download <-- is that a big problem ?> [21:26] hnaz: It seems this only happens when my cpmputer is in hibernation for extended periods (like 10 mins or more). [21:26] Task: if you really want to setup a system like that, it sounds like you'll probably be OK, depending on how much stuff you stick on Partition 2. [21:26] is there a guide that would help me get several install CDs on one bootable dvd, and launch whatever installer I want from a bootloader? Specifically, I want ubuntu i386, ubuntu i386 alternate, ubuntu 64-bit, and a live server edition. [21:26] ok thanks [21:26] Task: but i would put swap and on partition 2. [21:26] ill try those craigbass1976 [21:26] slipttees: no idea,to ancient [21:26] MeNoS: "it" what? where? pastebin. giving us partial errors will hardly give us a clue. [21:26] :( [21:26] Leechzilla: OK, then exit mtab and just unplug it. Then report if: mount shows /dev/sde1 mounted anywhere still [21:26] MeNoS: well, its definitely a problem, I'm jumping into the middle of whatever it is you were doing [21:26] Leechzilla: unplug -> usb unplug not power [21:27] Task: i'm not sure how successful you'll be w/ Windows and Linux sharing programs though.., never tried it, maybet ahts why what you're saying makes no sense to me. [21:27] hnaz: I'm unsure if you are reading this or if I am stiill muted.. [21:27] genii: I already removed the entry I added in fstab so that I can unmount it [21:28] hey, i'm trying to install ubuntu, but every time i get the io/read error. I've tried with 3 different disks (one a dvd), 3 different cd drives, and verified md5, verified all cds/dvd, and verified disks. The two first disks had 83 errors on them, and the last one has no errors, but i get the same error when i try to install the os [21:28] Task: IndyGunFreak: Sorry if I got late in the conversation, but are you talking about two OS's using the same filesystem at the same time LIVE? [21:28] flare183 i m in the other ubuntu chan [21:29] adelie: no.. I *think*.. what he wants to do, is setup Part 1: Windows Part2: Linux Part3: Shared... but he wants programs that he installs to the shared partition, to run from Linux or Windows... [21:29] hello, there is a way to make __autoload load interfaces? [21:29] genii: And now when I plug in the drive, it says I'm not privileged to mount [21:29] brobostigon: Ubuntu Warty using Kernel 2.6.8.1-5-386 [21:29] : [21:29] adelie: i know with files, that works fine, like keeping a shared music folder, etc, but i don't know abut complete programs [21:29] :D [21:29] toucansam: have you tried using one of those cd's in another computer? [21:30] no not really slart [21:30] IndyGunFreak: Task: Oh... one partition for everything, and basically use his programs folder as the default programs folder for WINE? [21:30] adelie: I *think*.. he's kinda lost me to be truthful. [21:30] LjL , this http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53493/ [21:30] toucansam: well.. other than blaming it on some kind of small green computer trolls living inside your computer.. I don't really know what to say [21:31] slart: goddamn computer trolls..... [21:31] has anyone ever had a problem with programs freezing up and crashing on ubuntu [21:31] after updates [21:31] if mysql.sock isn't in /tmp/ where would I find it ? [21:31] adelie: like i said, i don't think there's an issue w/ sharing files, but sharing whole programs, i don't know... [21:31] is it possible to change the zoom level in nautilus, but not on the desktop icons? [21:31] adelie: actually, letm e boot my PC it has an XP partition, i'll try to run one of my XP programs under Gutsy. [21:32] Leechzilla: If you do: cat /etc/group|grep pludev do you see your username there? [21:32] good afternoon everyone [21:32] *plugdev [21:32] Is it possible to shorten the cli so that it doesn't show the cwd? I'm almost positive there is but I can't remember what or how to do it :x [21:32] indygunfreak: sharing programs will likely not work because of registry settings that are written while installing software [21:32] cum sa intru in ubuntu.ro [21:32] genii: Nope [21:32] searching for a mindmapping program for linux [21:32] n56: good evening [21:32] IndyGunFreak: Task: Yeah, that works fine. What does not work is running a program in windows, and the same instance of the program under WINE in a virtual machine at the same time because... lets just say things go bad [21:32] Hi i want to make a copy of my recovery partition should I use dd? [21:32] steckel: thats my thinking to.., and if i understand what Task is wanting to do, thats what he wants to do. [21:33] IndyGunFreak , what in ur Software Sources do you have ticked ?

[22:41] mhrnjad: it won't be available for gutsy and i doubt it will be availble for hardy [22:41] x1alpha: have a look at your .xsession-errors file [22:41] x1alpha, if you are having beryl issues, that has nothing to do with this channel, try #compiz [22:42] jeffMASTERflex: hardy does indeed use 2.6.24 [22:42] dirtyhand: Thats not how the Ubuntu releases work, we do not have a rolling release.

[23:02] Pelo: Oh right I think i read that ubuntu runs a bit slower because of that right? [23:02] xerxes1358: i thought metacity was the default window decomanagerwhatever in ubuntu [23:03] alinon, probably, it's not like a real install, but I think you can run it whitout booting windows, just not sure, it's not like a virtual machine , but a bit similar [23:03] LjL: yes, there is. I enabled releases candidates and unsupported updates repositories from synaptic and I got this file and 'xserver-xorg-video-intel'... [23:03] alinon, dl the live cd and install, there is no issue dualbooting [23:04] alinon: Wubi simply installs a ubuntu (7.04) on a loop-mounted file. However, you can transfer a wubi install to a hard drive install whenever you want using lubi [23:04] anybody know if there is a wiki cms out there? (written in PHP would be awesome) Like drupal or joomla but specifically for Wiki's? [23:04] Pelo: My vista installation never shows up during the install of ubuntu, so if i install it messes with the MBR [23:04] hello...every time i try to start a 3d game my computer freezes...any idea how to fix it other than a hardware upgrade? [23:05] Strange question: is there an equivelent to doing Ctrl-Alt-F1, Ctrl-Alt-F7 that I can run from a shell script? [23:05] !ubuntu font [23:05] Sorry, I don't know anything about ubuntu font - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [23:05] !logo [23:05] Official Ubuntu artwork including the Ubuntu logo can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Official [23:05] alinon, I would look in the forum on this, I know there are fixes, it's just a matter of adding a couple of lines to the /boot/grub/menu.lst file [23:05] rodolfo, could you pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list, i'm not really familiar with the names that Software Sources gives to repositories [23:05] alinon: you can backup the MBR, it's just 512 bytes and restore it from the live CD [23:05] kahrytan: The bot works from private messages, /msg ubotu !thing [23:05] sam__: If you have effects turned on you might try it with them turned off [23:06] Pelo: I've read that you can change something in the advanced options to prevent Grub from taking over any other drives - but i don't know what to put in the box for my paticular setup [23:06] josiah: mediawiki the wikipedia one ??? [23:06] alinon, are you isntalling ubuntu on a sepreate drive ? that is easy enough [23:06] LjL: I will pates the output on pastebin. just want you to know that this is the direct link to the file I'm talking about: http://xorg.freedesktop.org/archive/individual/driver/xf86-video-intel-2.2.0.tar.bz2 [23:06] Pelo: yes it would be a second drive [23:06] erUSUL: yes... is mediawiki an application I can install onto my server and start my own wiki? [23:07] rodolfo: eh? that is not a *package*. that's just a tarball. it can't come from the update manager or from any repositories. [23:07] what is a signal 11 how do i fix it when ever i try to play a game it comes up with a signal 11 [23:07] josiah: yes afaics [23:07] justin what game? [23:07] erUSUL: thank you very much [23:07] any game [23:07] urban terror [23:07] enemy territory [23:07] TC:E [23:08] justin__: are your graphics drivers installed [23:08] alinon, you have two options, depending on how squeemish you are, 1 change the boot drive in your bios to the drive you want to use for ubuntu and just proceed with the install as usual , 2 open the box and unplug the vista drive for the duration of the installation, ( still making sure the ubuntu drive will be the boot drive ) [23:08] alinon, I don'T allow private msg, please talk to me in the channel [23:08] justin__: SEGV (seg fault), you'll have to look at the error log [23:08] justin__, signal 11 is segmentation fault, it can come from just about anything, it means that the program tried to touch memory it wasn't its own. it crashed, in simple words. [23:08] it's cool [23:08] LjL: I know. This is for those who wants to build the installer and run it with a newer version of xorg (1.4+) [23:09] ok [23:09] justin__: WHat video card... ati? [23:09] Pelo: Yeah i considered that, but i'd rather not open my case for it [23:09] no [23:09] nvid 7600GT [23:09] rodolfo: well you didn't make yourself clear, you were talking about packages coming from the update manager. anyway we absolutely do NOT recommend installing things like video drivers from tarballs. [23:09] Cpudan80: that bootscreen res fix didnt work :/ [23:09] justin__: Does it always happen at a specific time --- ie. can it be traced to a certain event? [23:09] dee_cz: What did you set it to? [23:09] im gettting the error logs [23:10] i tried 1024 x 768 [23:10] but X might crash agin [23:10] alinon, just change the boot drive then, I have a 2 hdd setup myself, and the ubuntu installer recognised xp on my second hdd, so I hve both in the grub menu, and should I decide to remove either hdd the other one can boot with no issue [23:10] dee_cz: Sometimes it doesn't save those settings in the file, go back and check to be sure it saved [23:10] dammit have to restart X [23:10] Cpudan80: i did, it saved them, but the screen is still black (its not even black, just backlit) and the last boot took 3 mins [23:11] Pelo: yeah it reconizes xp fine, but it don't see my vista which uses a different type of special boot loader [23:11] dee_cz: hrm........... [23:11] dee_cz: And the ubuntu logo never shows up? === xjdriver79 is now known as xjdriver69 [23:11] anyone know how to install the drivers for ati radeon x1250? [23:11] LjL: what other choice do I have? fot (unlucky)users who has a i915-based-laptop, there aren't any other options. this is the link: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53496/ [23:11] nope, i get grub, then black screen (3 mins), then login screen [23:11] alinon, as a general rule of thumb , with a 2 hdd setup you want the ubuntu drive set to boot when you install, otherwise you overwrite the mbr of one hdd with stage one of grub ,which refers to stage two on the other drive and then you can't boot if either is removed [23:12] Niklas_E: The repo version or from another source [23:12] When someone ifs free i have a ( I hope easy ) question [23:12] NICOI69: Just ask [23:12] ok [23:13] NICOI69, we are never free, just ask your question and we'll fit you in [23:13] i cant seem to get my taskbar back on the bottom of my page [23:13] lol ty [23:13] NICOI69: Right click, properties, set to bottom [23:13] NICOI69, right click the top pannel, select add a pannel, move it to the bottom and then right clicck add to pannel, and put the stuff you want in it [23:13] the restricted drivers [23:13] NICOI69: is it stuck at the top or missing all together [23:13] stuck on top [23:13] NICOI69: Drag and move it.. [23:14] NICOI69: usually you can just click and drag the panel down [23:14] Pelo: It was my understanding that regardless of boot order, if ubuntu see the drive it will write over the mbr/bootloader - which has been my experience [23:14] NICOI69: If needed, remove a few of the icins so you can grab it [23:14] rodolfo, i thought intels were among the best supported cards... is that not the case with the 915? anyway, probably unrelated but having gutsy-proposed enabled is pretty much a terrible idea [23:14] ok ty [23:14] it still wont let me [23:14] hi, i have a problem with 7.10, fresh install, when booting i get grub, then 3 mins of black screen (hdd only works at the beginning), then login screen.. is there any way i can shorter the boot time? [23:15] alinon, you can specify the drive to install grub on in the final screen before the install begings, where you get a summary of your choices, my way is just a bit safer since you don'T need to figure out the grub naming skeme for your hdd [23:15] alguén a fim de tc com um novato no Ubuntu? [23:15] Niklas_E: System / Administration / Restricted Drivers Manager what do you see. [23:15] !br | Alegrete [23:15] !pt | Alegrete [23:15] Alegrete: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [23:15] NICOI69, make a new one , delete the old one [23:15] * erUSUL aka slow fingers [23:15] dee_cz: you can get an idea of what's holding you up if you edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and remove the quiet splash words from the kernel line [23:15] br... [23:15] ok i removed it from panel [23:16] LjL: true but all I got from this "best supported driver" is a trashy performance when running compiz fusion. Not to mention that games like war craft III run very well on winxp but on wine it SUCKS. [23:16] dee_cz, remove uneeded services [23:16] super ready, later folks [23:16] nickrud: thanks, i will try that [23:16] Pelo: so your 100% sure that if the hdd that i want to install ubuntu on is listed as the first boot devices in the bios then ubuntu will not effect vista which is on a different drive? [23:16] pelo: how do i do that? [23:17] when i add back to panel it goes right back to the top [23:17] dee_cz: If it's a fresh install, it's most likely a problem, not an un-needed service [23:17] rodolfo, it might work badly on WINE for reasons totally unrelated to the card driver... you know WINE is simply not yet on par with Windows. as for compiz well that's hardly a necessity... i mean, if you're willing to trade it for an unstable system, it's your call but [23:17] I'm running openldap 2.2.13. When I try to delete a particular record I get an error "Operation not allowed on non-leaf." As far as I can tell, there are no objects underneath this one.. can anyone point me in the right direction? [23:18] ok i got it guys thank you very much for your help [23:18] ok ill remove the splash to see whats going on [23:19] hi all.. i am having trouble getting Java working in firefox.. can someone please help [23:19] hey I got my remote going and I need to edit my lircrc file for my elisa install but how I know what to put in for config ??? [23:19] LjL: just a sec [23:19] pavan: what have you tried? [23:19] Accelarated graphics for ati [23:19] pavan: install sun-java6-plugin [23:19] !java > pavan [23:20] jrib : which java gives me /usr/bin/java which in turn points to /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/jre/bin/java [23:20] pavan: ok, do as erUSUL suggested then [23:20] phoenixz: do you have by any chance MS office 2003 installed ? [23:21] erUSUL what i am to expect with your command.. [23:21] noob [23:21] pavan: if you have version 5 use sun-java5-plugin [23:21] pavan: is a package not a command sudo apt-get install sun-java5-plugin that will install the firefox (mozilla) java plugin [23:21] how do i run sabre in gutsy? its a fighter jet game [23:22] danonura_: Is it native to linux or is it a windows game? [23:22] there's no link under apps/games [23:22] i guess i'm gonna try this easybcd i keep hearing about- maybe it'll solve the problem [23:22] erUSUL i just searched for the plugin package in synaptic.. but don't find anything.. [23:22] its in repositories [23:23] danonura: if it didn't make it into the menu, dpkg -L grep /bin will give the executables [23:23] ok thanks [23:23] !info sun-java5-plugin | pavan [23:23] danonura_: and you should likely use "xsabre" rather than "sabre" [23:23] pavan: sun-java5-plugin (source: sun-java5): The Java(TM) Plug-in, Java SE 5.0. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 1.5.0-13-0ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 1 kB, installed size 80 kB [23:23] danonura: urm dpkg -L | grep /bin [23:23] pavan: is there in multiverse [23:23] ok thanks [23:23] xerxes1358, No I don't. I don't want garbage on my compu :) it should be possible using certain versions of office under wine or crossover (which is not for free) though if you really want to [23:23] pavan: go to system>admin>software sources and make sure you have multiverse enabled [23:24] Hi! Is there some program in linux equivalnet to 'where is it' in windows? === JohnM is now known as JohnMM [23:24] phoenix I absolutely need Office 2003 + VBA macros ( I am a finance guy( [23:24] steel_lady: what does the program do? [23:24] steel_lady: in Places there should be a Search for Files, or you can use locate in the shell [23:24] steel_lady: perhaps if i had the slightest idea what "where it is" is [23:25] erUSUL yes i have multivers enables in s/w sources .. [23:25] I know office 2003 will run but will also vba run ? [23:25] xerxes1358, stick to windows is probably the best idea [23:25] pavan: then just «sudo apt-get install sun-java5-plugin» [23:25] sry to bother you again, is there such a thing as default root password, i cant seem to do "su root" (and im typing the pass correctly) [23:25] !root > dee_cz (dee_cz, see the private message from Ubotu) [23:26] erUSUL i just tried that and got apt-get error that the package is missing or obsolete .. would this be because i am on AMD64 laptop?? [23:26] whenever my computer is processing or reading/writing to the harddrive, i hear static noise in my speakers.. i've tested with headphones and the noise is definitely coming from the sound card. i can't find anything on the web to fix this. has anyone else had this problem before? === JohnM is now known as JohnMM [23:26] dee_cz; you could run as if your root with sudo bash .. which will give you a root session [23:27] you're rather [23:27] pavan: oops yes no firefox plugin for the 64 bits version [23:27] PriceChild: any reasons ? [23:27] pavan: :( [23:27] pavan: i use 64 bits myself [23:27] xerxes1358, because it will work properly there. [23:27] erUSUL i have also installed Swiftweasel [23:27] which is 32 bit firefox version.. is there any way i can get java in there.. [23:28] !java64 [23:28] Sorry, I don't know anything about java64 - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [23:28] swiftfox? [23:28] !flash64 [23:28] You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava [23:28] !flash64 > pavan [23:28] paulo_monto: try muting any outputs that you don't need in the soundcard (e.g. MIDI, line-in). if your soundcard's mixer also has more than one master volume slider (like four or so "registers"), try changing the volume of those resp. the actual master volume. if it has bass and treble, needless to say, try tweaking. if this fails, move the soundcard to another PCI slot. if that fails too, get a better soundcard (possibly an external one) [23:28] <_moro_bana_> is there an ubuntu flash like that of mandriva [23:28] !java64 is flash64bit [23:28] I'll remember that, LjL [23:28] _moro_bana_: flash player? [23:29] Is there some kind of web based admin gui included in Ubuntu? Like to start and stop Apache etc.? [23:29] <_moro_bana_> jrib: as in installed in flash [23:29] re:sabre i'm a newb: pastebin:http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53497/: what to type next. [23:29] LjL: thanks :) [23:29] _moro_bana_: I have no idea what that means [23:29] LjL: thanks.. unfortunately i've done all of that, the sound-card is builtin to the motherboard.. thanks for the advice though! [23:29] <_moro_bana_> jrib: usb [23:30] !install > _moro_bana_ (read the private message from ubotu) [23:30] paulo_monto, that's a pretty common problem with built-in boards, which are generally low quality and way to close to motherboard components not to suffer from strong electronic noise [23:30] does anyone use Swiftweasel .. its 32bit browser on a 64bit platform [23:30] _moro_bana_: I think that's mentioned on that wiki page [23:30] How do i change the icon that is beside my Applications Menu?.. thats the only thing I want to change, not the entire theme(which will change it of course) [23:31] <_moro_bana_> jrib: thanks where do you get a list of those ubotu commands [23:31] erUSUL have you tried SwiftWeasel browser.. i was able to get 32bit flash working on it.. i didn't realize i had trouble with java [23:31] !ubotu > _moro_bana_ (read the private message from ubotu) [23:31] LjL: ah i see, alright, i'll shell out for a decent sound card then.. thank you again very much for helping me out [23:32] <_moro_bana_> jrib: thank you i read it [23:32] <_moro_bana_> jrib :) [23:32] paulo_monto: even pretty cheap ones are most likely much better than built-ins [23:32] pavan: no; the package flashplugin-nonfree configured flash for firefox64 bits without problems (that was before it broke) [23:32] pavan: and i do not use java applets [23:33] erUSUL .. thx for your help.. [23:33] erUSUL .. will try & figure this out.. [23:34] thx to all for help, solved the problem temporarily by setting nosplash for the boot.. now it boots under 20s [23:34] besides adding medibuntu do my repo list what else should I add [23:34] pavan: no problem [23:34] LjL: I've read all the FAQs available and as far as I know, this scenario happens due to intel poor performance using openGL. when running the game on winxp works perfectly because windows uses D3D. wine uses openGL(correct me if i'm wrong) [23:35] hi.. i can login to my user and i can be admin and install packages etc. but when i type su and enter my pass it says auth. failure :S [23:36] Chafka: that's becouse there is no root in ubuntu [23:36] dee_cz: check /etc/usplash.conf for the correct resolution, then run sudo update-initramfs -u , and reenable the splash. Might fix that [23:36] !root > Chafka [23:36] !root | Chafka [23:36] Chafka: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [23:36] Chafka: if you need a root shell use «sudo -i» [23:36] re:sabre in the read me:Run the simulator as `RunSabre'. [23:36] ok.. thanx [23:37] Hi! Can anyone help me with this? The Gnome Menu editor in Ubuntu 7.10 is hardly allowing me to do anything.. Thanks [23:37] erik__, and ? [23:39] neverblue, it will not allow me to create a new folder, (Well it will but it will not allow it to be shown, or anything put into it... It seems to work but 2 seconds later it reverts itself back to the old way...) How can I get the menu editor to actually let me make changes? It doesn't need to be run as root, right? [23:39] rodolfo: err, it's badly worded at least. OpenGL and Direct3D are two ways for programs to interface to graphics cards' 3D facilities. Direct3D is proprietary and *only* directly available on Windows. OpenGL is what Linux uses (and Windows can, too, use, but discourages). what WINE does is *emulate* Direct3D using OpenGL - in order for Windows programs, which expect Direct3D, to work. that is the case *on any graphics card*. no card on Linux supports Direct3D [23:39] natively. [23:40] erik__, a new folder? in the Gnome Menu ? [23:40] rodolfo: if you want to run Windows games, you're probably much better off using Windows. WINE currently cannot offer anything near the performance of a native Windows environment, and its Direct3D support is also pretty new (you might want to investigate Cedega as well, but that's commercial). no newer driver will give you native Direct3D support under Ubuntu. [23:41] neverblue, yes. Exactly. (Acually a subfolder under the Internet folder is what I am trying to do) [23:42] Ok everybody.. I have my ATI card installed and tweaked...now I am looking to see something that is 3D any suggestions? Gutsy 7.10 [23:43] linchapulin, does compiz work? :) [23:43] linchapulin: glxgears ? [23:43] erik__, did you click view, its there something in it, what are you trying to do, please do explain, as I dont want to just assume [23:43] linchapulin, or go install openarena [23:43] linchapulin: warsow? neverball? [23:43] linchapulin: That will at least output the fps, though it is not a benchmark [23:43] Dr_Willis: Haven't installed it(yet) :-) [23:43] linchapulin: open arena etc [23:43] erik__ : do you mean menu instead of folders?? [23:44] Thanks everyone!! [23:44] is there ipod touch support for rythmbox? I've got it working with my video, but it doesn't recognise the touch as a device [23:44] LjL: nice. [23:44] is there anyone here who is knowledgeable with ZSNES? [23:44] !anyone | h-town [23:44] h-town: 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? [23:45] cause it feels demanding that way [23:45] neverblue, there IS no view... I opened "main menu" editor from system> preferences. To try and make a submenu in the Internet menu, it will not allow it. Ubuntu 7.10 [23:45] h-town, its an emulator.. its rather straightforward in its ussage... whats the exact problem? [23:45] yeah, i don't dig the 'anyone' gripe, [23:45] h-town: that's how we all prefer it, don't worry [23:45] well, i installed it with synaptic package manager and it worked for 3 days fine [23:46] erik__, 'not allow it' what does that mean exactly? [23:46] Jangari: because the answer is always "yes" and then you are no closer to solving your problem [23:46] um guys [23:46] my wireless stops working after a while [23:46] 5400 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1076.176 FPS 5536 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1099.881 FPS 5467 frames in 5.1 seconds = 1078.309 FPS w00t! [23:46] then i rebooted my computer and now when i try to open it the screen turns black and then goes back to the desktop [23:46] it's weird, i cant get it to work again, unless i restart [23:46] htns, what router ? [23:46] !enter | htns [23:46] htns: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [23:46] okay jrib, but i'd contend that the problem is with the question overall not being specific enough, rather than with it's beginning with 'anyone' [23:46] neverblue: linksys wrt54g [23:46] h-town, you could try removing the .zsnes settings to reset it back ot the defaults. [23:47] htns, and your card, did you check the forums to see if anyone else is having similar card issues ? [23:47] Jangari: yes, that's what we mean. Of course if you prefix a specific question with "anyone", no one cares :) [23:47] for instance, if I ask 'anyone know the command for opening the working directory in a file manager?' then it's specific enough [23:47] heh, ubuntu 8.04 gettin officially released on my birth day [23:47] neverblue: heh, no, ill do that right now [23:47] neverblue, Well when I click "new menu" and name it, it shows up. When I click "show" it UNSHOWS itself 2 seconds later. If I try to put anything into the folder from the internet folder, it removes it and puts it back into the main internet folder 2 seconds later [23:47] plus it screws up the buttons on the bottom edge for my open windows, at first it would say "Unknown window" and show only one button no matter how many windows were open [23:47] h-town, theres also other snes emulators that may work. I tend to use zsnes. Never had issues with it. [23:47] anyone familiar wit ubuntu? [23:47] doesn't xmame support snes? [23:47] DIL, never heard of it. :) [23:47] just kidding [23:47] DIL: nope [23:47] well i would try another emulator but i'm already halfway through chrono trigger [23:47] DIL: Try ##windows [23:47] Jangari, xmess does i belive :) [23:47] erik__, sounds buggy, maybe you want to edit the menu in a file directly, and see how that works [23:48] DIL considering where you are i would assume that was a useless question :) [23:48] good night [23:48] i've tried reinstalling, removing, and completely removing [23:48] h-town, try resetting the config. save your saved game file. , try as a new user.perhaps [23:48] neverblue, alright. Where is the menu file anyway? [23:48] !compiz linchapulin [23:48] Anyone know what the best way to cirvumnavigate closed ports at school is?

[23:49] h-town, the .zsnes directory as i said earlier has the settings files for the USER. [23:49] foug: system -> preferences -> removable drives and media [23:49] erik__, did you add a New Menu under Internet, or a New Item? [23:49] Anyone know what the best way to cirvumnavigate closed ports at school is? [23:49] Anybody? [23:49] georg1: how is this related to ubuntu support? [23:49] neverblue, under internet... [23:49] georg1: NOt a subject for a support room [23:49] erik__, which one did you add, please re-read my question [23:49] jrib: thanks [23:49] why not [23:49] georg1: because this channel is for ubuntu support only [23:49] georg1, well - its technicially illeagle for one. [23:49] any one got the Epson dx4400-dx4450 working? [23:50] ha [23:50] neverblue, I added a new menu [23:50] which file is the settings file? i have .zsnes open right now [23:50] erik__, then within that menu u added a New Item ? [23:50] let's all jump down off the high horses and think about what ubuntu is really used for [23:50] georg1, it is too cerebreal (sp) [23:50] h-town, no idea ; any with a .cfg looks promising to me. [23:50] geoaxis, take it to offtopic [23:50] h-town, make a directory. move them to it.. rerun zsnes [23:51] !offtopic | georg1 [23:51] georg1: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [23:51] does anyone know how to list all pci cards that are connected to the pc? [23:51] Heh - I have a Chrono Trigger ZSNES saved game also! :0 [23:51] neverblue, no, within that menu I could not drag any application launchers into it, or have it actually show up.. (Its hidden) [23:51] i never did finish that. [23:51] penars lspci [23:51] i'm halfway through.. pretty good game [23:51] how can i get my backspace button to work on internet pages? [23:51] silence, that's what i thought [23:51] DVD's are not playing for me, is this a familar problem? using 7.10 [23:51] firefow, NICOI69? [23:52] !dvd | foug [23:52] foug: 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 [23:52] firefox* [23:52] georg1, You are rambling.. and i use it for work. [23:52] yes firefox [23:52] you're going to hate me for asking such a stupid question.. what do you mean by make a directory? [23:52] and porn i'm sure. peace out assholes [23:52] georg1, if you want to learn about ssh tunnles - to research ssh tunnles. [23:52] neverblue, sorry if I am vauge.. I am telling you everything in the language the menu editor uses..... [23:52] erik__, drag, i dont think thats the right way to do it, select Internet under the Menus, then press New Menu, enter a name, once that menu is created, then select it under the menu part (the left) and then add New Item [23:52] NICOI69: config editore (url: about:config), filter for 'backspace' or 'back' or something [23:52] anyone got a good channel i could get some help with for my cell phone [23:53] hi [23:53] that sin firefox? [23:53] khaotik, try #cell ? [23:53] good looking [23:53] and there should be an option near the top, like 'behaviour on backspace', change its value from 0 to 1, or if it's already 1, change it back to 0 [23:53] foug : what problems are you having - make sure you have libdvdcss and libxine1-ffmpeg installed [23:53] khaotik, this is an Ubuntu support channel, need help finding a channel, ask in #help maybe ? [23:53] !channels > khaotik (khaotik, see the private message from Ubotu) [23:53] yes, it's in firefox, type the address about:config [23:53] NICOI69, can't offer that, can say, ALT (left side) and left arrow for back and right arrow for forward [23:53] ok ty [23:53] TGIF Everyone, but I've a problem. I have formatted over my entire drive with unallotted space, and I've yet to find a program that will recover deleted ext3 partitions. My NTFS and FAT32 partitions have already been recongnized by Active@ recovery, but I'm still stuck. Any help/guidence is greatly appreciated, Thanks! [23:53] thanks LjL [23:53] danand: libdvdread3? [23:54] neverblue, But why cant I just drag the existing items around? Is there another alternate menu editor? [23:54] i just bought a syba pcmcia to pci adapter and installed it, but when i type lspci i don't see it. do i need some special drivers or something? here's the item: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815124021 [23:54] linux_kid, Ick... You are now the power child for 'proper backup routines' [23:54] NICOI69: the key is "browser:backspace_action" and you want to change it to "0" [23:54] erik__, does the instructions I gave you work ? [23:54] ok ty [23:54] dr. willis... do you mean create a new folder and move the cfg files into them? is that what you mean by make a new directory? [23:54] h-town, yes [23:54] linux_kid: ext3 partitions are almost impossible to recover data from :( [23:55] h-town, folder = directory [23:55] does it matter where? [23:55] sol unless you know someone from DoD or CIA [23:55] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53498/ <---- program compile errors cant find a debian based package [23:55] linux_kid : read *impossible [23:55] Dr_willis, well, yeah... Its not a fun position [23:55] neverblue, sort of. The menu doesnt unhide itself in the program, but the new menu does NOT appear in Gnome even though other random order changes HAVE... [23:55] i was wondering, how do you remove/chnage the ubuntu icon in the top left by default? [23:55] I cant access mysql from PHP (Unable to connect to the database) even though its up and running. Does anybody know what do I need to configure? [23:55] it worked ty very much [23:55] danand, depressing [23:55] no worries [23:55] #mysql [23:55] !packaging > goodhabit [23:55] linux_kid: Done similar myself - know how you feel [23:55] erik__, your quickly losing me, does it or does it not work for you ? [23:56] neverblue, basically, no. [23:56] slargi, #mysql [23:56] danand, its a wonderful feeling, just after spending a week installing wacom drivers /sarcasm [23:56] linux_kid: http://www.penguin-soft.com/penguin/man/8/e2undel.html let me know if that works [23:56] i just bought a syba pcmcia to pci adapter and installed it, but when i type lspci i don't see it. do i need some special drivers or something? here's the item: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815124021 [23:56] erik__, works just fine here, maybe you might want to re-read what I wrote [23:56] well moving the cfg files has made a difference: now instead of the entire screen going blank a small window pops open and shut [23:56] does thunderbird support microsoft exchange? [23:56] neverblue, Will do, and if not... eh. Thanks! [23:56] ok dvd's still are not playing, how do i find out the name of the DVD drive the DVD is in? [23:57] yep, np, im going home! [23:57] Jangari, it works with it if that is what you mean [23:57] linux_kid: [23:57] yes, that's what i mean [23:57] oops [23:57] if I go into nautlius and browse the DVD folder, i can open one of the video_ts files, but that's it [23:57] danand, ok, we'll see [23:57] foug, shows you in Places (the menu) [23:57] i installed libdvdread3 and the other packages [23:57] there are new cfg files in the .zsnes folder as well [23:57] my employer is migrating everyone to exchange, and everyone is reluctant, since everyone hates it, [23:58] neverblue: i need the sdc name [23:58] all the mac people have had to purchase entourage [23:58] foug: look in /etc/fstab - or experiment with eject command ie eject /dev/hdc /dev/hdd etc [23:58] foug sudo nano /etc/fstab [23:58] is there a guide to installing hardware and their drivers for linux? [23:58] so confusing [23:58] hello, I'm going to be installing ubuntu on my laptop within a day or two and I'm wondering, will I be able to play counter-strike 1.6? [23:58] penars, which hardware/drivers ? [23:58] neverblue, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815124021 [23:59] what's a really lightweight email client? [23:59] neverblue: it only shows scd0 it seems, i have a DVD player, then a DVD burner [23:59] neverblue, it doesn't come with any drivers, but people in reviews are saying it is recognized automatically [23:59] is pilot any good? [23:59] linux_kid: http://www.penguin-soft.com/penguin/man/8/e2undel.html is for ext2 filesystems only I think [23:59] penars, time to hit the forums :D [23:59] danand, figures [23:59] foug not sure what to tell you
