[00:06] Slart: well, I tried installing the debs and they claim they are for the wrong arch [00:07] illriginal: eh.. what's the scenario here? you [00:07] you've got a domain? a ftp server? [00:07] is there a plug-in to handle some xine streams not in synaptic? [00:07] pmratpoison: you can force install if you really want to.. you had to do that with wine some time ago [00:08] pmratpoison: but it depends on if it's a stand alone application... or if it will be working with something else.. [00:08] Slart my company is a webhosting company, they've given us a free domain and I would like to start developing.. I was told to use FireFTP (built in firefox extension) that will let me upload my files to my domain. [00:08] illriginal: ok.. and this doesn't work? [00:09] Slart: on i386 you just install the debs and modify some post script file. It doesn't have any special printing front-end [00:09] no FireFTP claims that I'm having Permission issues. [00:09] illriginal: any ftp client will work of course. the issue is at the server side [00:09] how does one force the debs to install? is this undo-able? [00:09] Slart, in order words, I need to give my desktop and the folder, "website" permission to be accessed via FireFTP [00:09] I'm trying to get desktop effects to work so I can run compiz, but I'm having no luck. Video driver is ati radeon mobility 7500 w/ 32m vram [00:09] illriginal: it's the server that's not allowing you to upload [00:09] illriginal: then I guess you have to talk to whoever runs the server [00:10] illriginal: ftp server needs to be setup correctly [00:10] i'm having some issues with my virtual terminals in gutsy. it's hard to describe, but TTY1-6 have all their text pushed to the right so i can only see half the screen [00:10] pmratpoison: yes.. you can uninstall just like usual.. you install using dpkg -i --force-architecture yourdebfilehere.deb [00:10] The server side?.. It was workin on Windows. And if I use the Java applet (web based) FTP, it'll upload without a problem. [00:10] and the text seems bigger than it should be [00:11] whats the name of the sshd package?

[00:13] illriginal: could it be a timeout issue? if you log back into ftp server and try immediately? [00:13] my question is complicated regarding finding where partition start and partition ends are [00:14] as2, 'sudo fdisk -l' shows that info i belive [00:14] pike_ that was the first thing I thought, and did exactly that. Quickly disconnected then reconnected, but FTP still claims that I don't have the right to access my files in order to upload them. [00:14] i first do this: dd if=/dev/hda of=hidden.img bs=7741440 skip=9932 [00:14] as2, if you would be so kinda as to state your question on one line, im sure someone would be more than happy to help you [00:14] I'm trying to copy a file over a local network from a windows machine.

[00:15] illriginal: id suggest trying nautilus as an ftp client its a good as anything but .. are these files in your home dir? [00:15] !paste | illriginal [00:15] illriginal: 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) [00:15] is there a possibility or a program which can mount drives on start-up without entering the root-pw every time? (ahhh, i'm a total newbie to linux, though) === ConstyXIV-AFK is now known as ConstyXIV [00:15] pike_ they're in a folder named, "Website" inside of my Desktop [00:16] rxsa: yeah add th drive to your /etc/fstab [00:16] thanks anyways, Slart [00:16] sorry, but how? *g* [00:16] <_Oz_> Hello, Ubuntu friends! [00:16] SO my question : i want to do that what is described here: dd if=/dev/hda of=hidden.img bs=7741440 skip=9932 With an hexadecimal editor (like hexedit for example), I looked for the beginning of a valid partition, identified by the string "IBM 7.0" or "IBM 7.1". I found several consecutive partitions, that I extracted into six distinct files : dd if=hidden.img of=diags.img bs=512 skip=26850 count=15063 dd if=hidden.img of=diags2.img [00:16] -------------------------------------- [00:16] EXPLAIN [00:16] illriginal: maybe do a quick sudo chown -R $USER:$USER $HOME [00:16] ------------------------------------- [00:16] My algorithm to find the partition limits is rather simple. Starting from the beginning of the hidden.img area, I mount the file using a loop device, I obtain the partition size in 1k blocks with df, and I search the beginning of a new partition around the corresponding offset, in the image file. I iterate this algorithm with the new discovered partition, until the end of the hidden.img area is reached. [00:16] as2: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:16] ------------------------------------------------------------ [00:16] <_Oz_> Question: How do I change file associations? I want movie files to open in VLC, rather than Totem (the default player). [00:16] _Oz_, under gnome? right cliock on one of the files - its in its properties somewhere. [00:17] ok give me one second pike_ [00:17] also, soes pes2008 run on wine? with some sort of plug-in for active x? [00:17] What's xubuntu, again? What windowmanager does it have? [00:17] xfce4 [00:17] !xubuntu [00:17] Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels [00:17] so since that what i pasted is too long [00:17] in nautilus, can i change which columns are displayed in list view? [00:17] somebody linux guru [00:17] ? [00:17] as2 #linux [00:17] i will write it on private [00:17] I'm trying to get desktop effects to work so I can run compiz, but I'm having no luck. Video driver is ati radeon mobility 7500 w/ 32m vram [00:17] i want to include audio information, bitrate and resolution, for instance [00:17] as2: id paste it to a url too [00:17] as2 try #linux [00:18] ok thanks [00:18] :) [00:18] Can I install xubuntu from the default ubuntu install cd if I select server and then install xubuntu-desktop? [00:19] Joetheodd: you can install ubuntu then in addition xubuntu-desktop [00:19] Joetheodd, installing xubuntu-desktop would give you the full set of xubuntu features. :0 [00:19] pike_, the problem is I don't want to see what would happen if I tried running gnome on my target box. [00:19] I tend to install ubuntu, then xubuntu-desktop, then kubuntu-desktop [00:19] Joetheodd: you can install xubuntu on any existing ubuntu installation, including server [00:20] i rarely have any issues with installing all the desktops [00:20] goddam redhat's only supporting outdated versions of sox! [00:20] Dr_willis any more linux free games.. best ones ? [00:20] This thing is 291MHz :P [00:20] kitche: sorry, but how? *g* [00:20] Joetheodd: didnt read your whole question in fact thats exactly what i normally do [00:20] Joetheodd: server install then X stuff will work fine [00:20] Picachoo, use the package manager to search. and look at that Linux game tome/Happy Penguin sites . [00:20] <_Oz_> Excellent, dr_willis. That was it. Perfect! They open in VLC now. Thank you. [00:20] Picachoo, depends on what games you like. Ive been playing Yoshi's Island lately. :) [00:21] pike_, thanks, I'd just go the easy road except for I'm afraid this box won't be happy with me. Let's just say that dumpster diving could be an upgrade to it :P [00:21] _Oz_, yea. its a littel odd how you have to find a file you want to change the type for, to get to the filetype stuff.. if theres a nother way to find that selection/options. ive not found it yet. [00:21] Dr_willis i would like all famous ones. quality ones. can you name as many as you know? [00:21] Joetheodd: maybe install xserver-xorg fluxbox then echo exec fluxbox > ~/.xinitrc then just xinit to launch if its a very low resource box [00:21] yop all [00:21] I'm having trouble netbooting 7.04 on a Cyrix 6x86 CPU - the kernel Oops'es very early on somewhere in native_cpuid (called from identify_cpu, ..., start_kernel). I want to recompile the netboot kernel (install/netboot/ubuntu-installer/i386/kernel) for the Cyrix CPU. where can I find .config files for the netboot kernels? [00:21] how long does it usually take for some feedback here?...not trying to be subversive! [00:22] Picachoo, go get DOOM. :) theres a dozen variants/remakes of it for linux. [00:22] Ok, so now I got X to run, but my mouse doesn't respond, any suggestions? [00:22] joetheodd - check out fluxbuntu...can dl iso of ubuntu w/ fluxbox === c is now known as Charitwo [00:22] Dr_willis doom is not free === Mark20 is now known as mark17 [00:23] pike_ i tried the command but still nothing, do you happen to know the command to give me permission over everything?.... [00:23] Picachoo: umm yes it is well not the doom but doom variants yes [00:23] <_Oz_> Dr_willis: yeah, there are some oddities in Ubuntu, like that one. Overall, I really like it, though. [00:23] <_Oz_> Logic suggests that you'd change file associations in one global place rather than within a single example of that file type. [00:23] illriginal: that was it you do not need any additional permission on the client box [00:23] is it possible to see the network statistics for a single IP on my server (every IP uses a different network card alias)? [00:23] <_Oz_> But... hey... Linux isn't always logical. :) Part of the charm, I guess. [00:24] I'm aware that this isn't an ubuntu issue but I'm sure you guys know. I'm using an ASUS P2L97 mobo, and it's got 3 RAM slots. If I have a stick of 64, 32, and 32, can I stick them all in? [00:24] illriginal: it is a server-side issue [00:24] Hi, everyone. I have downloaded a *.chm file, and it seemed I cannot open it until I "unblock active content" by (if I use Windows Explorer) select Properties -> Unblock. How do I do that in Linux? I am using Ubuntu Gutsy and xchm. Thanks [00:24] Picachoo: and yes doom engine has been open source for quite some time [00:24] illriginal: open a terminal and try cd ~/Desktop/thatdir then ftp servername then mput * and see what happens [00:24] hm... i guess so. But why does it let me use their Java applet in order to ftp into my domain?> [00:24] soooh, i'm really a total newbie to ubuntu and all unix os' and have no clue how to mount drives on start-up without entering the root-pw every time? [00:24] kitche whats the exact name of doom freee version? [00:24] sangprabo: have you tried the CHM reader? [00:24] illriginal: does the java applet require you to login? [00:24] anyone have any idea why when I do startx I don't have any mouse response? [00:24] hey. i am working on an ipv6 vpn for privacy, anonytomy, free speech, and wanted to verify that the most commonly used distribution can connect. http://eleuther.net/ if you are interested [00:24] rxsa, that's the beauty of it. Only root is allowed to do that. [00:25] K4k: pastebin your xorg log [00:25] i am root [00:25] !fstab | rxsa [00:25] rxsa: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [00:25] yeah same username and password I use in order to log into the fireftp [00:25] illriginal: because you're not writing anything to their filesystem [00:25] but i just want to make more comfortable for me [00:25] nemilar: thank you for your response. No, I've not tried it. I will install it soon. [00:25] sangprabo: check out the gnochm package, it's what I use === as2 is now known as mrj [00:25] nemilar: hang on, I told it to save the ouput errors to a file, I'll paste bin that, it appears though x started there were some errors present [00:26] thx a lot i think! [00:26] nemilar: gnochm? okay [00:26] illriginal: very odd. try gftp or nautilus... other than that not sure sorry [00:26] Picachoo: to many to name but one is doom legacy [00:26] rxsa: firstly, are you sure you're root? did you actually go and enable the root account, then physically log in as root? because you shouldn't really do that [00:26] _Oz_, comapred to the disaster setting default programs under windows is.. Gnome is very logical. :P [00:26] has anyone here successfully re-wrapped their kernal to enable touchscreens in an LG? === mrj is now known as MrJBG [00:27] secondly, rxsa, you should be able to configure your fstab to automatically mount partitoins on your system on startup [00:27] nemilar, http://www.pastebin.ca/904522 [00:27] <_Oz_> Dr_willis: no argument there. :) [00:27] <_Oz_> Gnome is great overall. Really like it. [00:27] nemilar: it appears I can't lock .Xauthority [00:27] how can I fix that? [00:27] K4k: that can't be your entire xorg.0.log file [00:27] <_Oz_> Just a few weird things like that to deal with, and they're no big deal. [00:27] nemilar: no I said that's the error I get when I start xorg [00:28] rxsa: I think you need to do something with your /etc/fstab file... [00:28] K4k: the entire log would be more helpful [00:28] k one sec [00:28] pike_ you mentioned to open up terminal and type: cd ~/Desktop/Website then type my domain's ftp, then type mput* [00:28] does anyone know if the heron alpha 4 downloadable iso is a liveCD? [00:28] K4k: ls -l .Xauthority [00:28] K4k: who owns the file [00:28] illriginal: yeah or mput *.extension [00:28] nemilar: What kind of package should I install / configure? [00:28] whats the development channel for ubuntu [00:28] if I'm installing ubuntu on a fresh hard drive and making the partitions myself...

[00:29] Itaku: well there is #ubuntu-dev but not what you think I believe [00:29] sangprabo: it will install "CHM Viewer" in the Applications - Accessories menu [00:29] prince_jammys, should I chown it to myself? [00:29] sudo chown your_user .Xauthority [00:29] just specify /home as the mount point? [00:29] frijolie: it should be straighforward with the gui installation [00:29] it like has a 1 in it [00:29] K4k: I own mine === Ku-less is now known as Kuwanger [00:29] K4k: i was trying to tell you this a while back [00:29] how do i open a stream on xine when the input message says i have no input plug-in to handle the stream?

In your case for the first time you may need to format it. [00:32] sangprabo: I'll try it out over here [00:32] for me, only downlaoding a tarball from adobe and ./flash-installing has worked [00:32] Picachoo, the 'mirc' ? [00:32] http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ [00:33] YES [00:33] and i'm talking about more than ten different installations all on gutsy, so far [00:33] K4k: paste /var/log/Xorg.0.log [00:33] sampoo: xine is fine, vlc also. Some players seem to play some files better than others though [00:33] Dr_willis windows app i am using with wine. it gives a system speeker beep. not real sound [00:33] nemilar: Thank you. I've downloaded smhelp.chm, the latest one (2006) [00:33] pike_ it's askin me to login using username and password... how would I do this? [00:33] illriginal: just type your username hit enter then passowrd and enter [00:33] Picachoo, you do realize thers dozens of irc clients out OTHER then mirc. :) mIRC is rather lame in ways.. heh. [00:33] oh :X [00:34] Picachoo, try the games and see.. is about all i cansay [00:34] jrod: that's odd, youtube should work fine (unless you're on a quite old machine)...just make sure you don't have gnash installed... sudo apt-get remove gnash [00:34] Dr_willis yes. but i like mric. but the point was the why wine is not giving sound [00:34] nah says, invalid command, pike_ [00:34] Dr_willis can you give some sites where i can see rated /ranked free linux games? [00:34] anyone able to install vimdiff in gutsy [00:35] illriginal: are you doing ftp from command line? [00:35] xine seems to be default on mozilla, can i cahnge i to VLC? [00:35] vimdiff seems to have gone missing [00:35] sampoo: if you install the vlc-plugin you can [00:35] thankx [00:35] prince_jammys, yes... unfortunately even if I can connect via Terminal... I wouldn't know what the heck to do. [00:35] illriginal: if so try ---> user your_user_name [00:36] gnash removed... i'll load the actual adobe one and let u know what i come up with [00:36] illriginal: type 'bye' then enter then ftp servername you will be prompted for a username then a password [00:36] I have a question regarding the structure of linux. In windows, when you install new programs, typically it gets dumped in 'program files'. Is there an equivalent of this in Ubuntu? [00:36] sudo apt-get install vimdiff "E: Couldn't find package vimdiff" [00:36] jrod, [00:36] jrod: apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree will fetch the correct adobe version for you [00:36] try at first testing youtube having uninstalled gnash, better scientific method that way [00:37] jrod: I tried going to Youtube the other day, and firefox hung on me hardcore [00:37] anyone able to access an iTunes shared library in linux yet? [00:37] Mushrooms: no, they dont go all in one place (and in windows they don't either, not exactly) [00:37] hi all i just install phpmyadmin, but i dont remeber setting a password, and its asking for one, is their a defualt, or can someone tell my how to set the mysql passowrd thanks [00:37] sangprabo: it looks like they're using some IE hooks... I don't know if you'll be able to get it to work out-of-the-box in linux [00:37] siriusnova afaik it's not possible to connect third party clients to iTunes 7.x shares [00:37] easy, siriusnova, so easy that i wouldn't be able to recount how to do it [00:37] mjw - damn :( [00:38] Mushrooms: everything shares directories youll notice if you type 'which gedit' it gives a generic bin path executables are in bin dirs libs in lib dirs generally [00:38] i have just uninstalled many apps but still i experience slow speed. (speed was good at fresh kubuntu install though). why so? [00:38] mjw-: seriously? [00:38] mike16: http://www.netadmintools.com/art90.html [00:38] -.- claims that login failed. Yet I can connect with fireftp without a problem [00:38] whats up people? [00:38] Mushrooms: er.. which nano [00:38] nemilar: is ther any other way to open it? If open it using Windows, could it opened in Linux after? [00:38] Mushrooms: a package will place its executables in /usr/share/bin, its documentation in /usr/share/doc, its libraries in /usr/share/lib [00:38] Jangari last i checked, admittedly a few months back, you could only access itunes 6 or older shares [00:38] thanks nemilar i will bookmark thatn ow [00:38] doesn't an itunes library just operate as an ntfs file system as per normal windows file system? [00:38] sangprabo: I doubt it... but you can get it to work in Wine, I'd bet [00:38] installed all the vlc plugins, xine still the default player for some streams? [00:38] Mushrooms: so yes in that typically everything is within different folders of /usr [00:39] how can i change that [00:39] ? [00:39] prince_jammys, http://pastebin.ca/904934 [00:39] nemilar: okay. I will try it. Thank you very much of your kind, nemilar :) [00:39] prince_jammys: I see. In the "pidgin.im" website there are some instructions to close conversation windows using the Esc key, but it tells me to locate the .purple library first. I'm guessing that because it starts with a '.' the folder will be invisiable [00:39] prince_jammys, http://pastebin.ca/904534 [00:39] sorry [00:39] sangprabo: np.. hope it works for you [00:39] Jangari no - it's DAAP based. nothing to do with ntfs. [00:39] uninstall xine? [00:39] prince_jammys: sorry that should have been .purple directory [00:40] Mushrooms: if it's a hidden file, it's likely to be a personal configuration directory located in your home folder [00:40] do you know a programme which can read the things for you? [00:40] mjw-: whoa, you're not talking just about a simple itunes library on any old machine, are you? [00:40] K4k: tell the other person who was helping you too [00:40] !festival | quittt [00:40] Sorry, I don't know anything about festival - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [00:40] man, i'm glad i weaned myself off itunes altogether [00:40] prince_jammys: I see, I should be able to see all of those in the terminal then [00:40] Jangari I'm talking about the "sharing" option that is present in itunes. [00:40] oh, right [00:40] pike_, festival? there is an app with that name? [00:40] quittt: yes or ktalk [00:40] ok pike_ i finally logged in... now what should I do?... [00:40] Mushrooms: you can see them in a gui also [00:41] nemilar http://pastebin.ca/904534 [00:41] illriginal: what files do you have in that dir? what extensions? [00:41] screw that, just mount the whole system in ubuntu and nav to it, and add the library to 'my places' or something [00:41] como hago [00:41] Mushrooms: enable "show hidden files" or do Ctrl-H in nautilus if you use gnome [00:41] index.html is in my website folder [00:41] Hi, I just updated ubuntu and now flas doesn't work. is this a common problem or am I the ony sufferer? [00:41] illriginal: mput *.html [00:41] flash [00:41] ok [00:41] now i remember where i installed xine and why, when i wanted to play a BBC stream...is there a better solution/streamer? [00:41] #argentina [00:41] well, rhythmbox on my ubuntu installation and windows media player on my xp pro installation working from the same media libraries works sweet [00:42] ok people. i installed ubuntu 7.10 and just the other day my computer won't start up. [00:42] any reason? [00:42] sweet.. [00:42] it uploaded. [00:42] it was working great. [00:42] mrMister, IIRC it's still broken last I saw [00:42] tumbleweed05: what does it do? [00:42] illriginal: html is text so its fine if you wanted to upload a binary file like a zip youd type binary first then mput *.zip [00:42] doesn't even load the bios. [00:42] illriginal: looks like a crappy client [00:42] removing gnash and loading the adobe player worked perfectly [00:42] thanks for the help [00:42] Fireftp?... [00:42] just flashes the caps, num, and scroll lock light and thats it. [00:42] just sits there. [00:42] tuna: umm if your computer doesn't even power on at all then it's hardware issue [00:42] illriginal: yes. use nautilus or gftp [00:42] prince_jammys: ah yep i see it now thanks :) I was going to go ls -a and then locating it from there [00:43] doesn't show anything on the monitor at all, tumbleweed05? [00:43] nope. [00:43] tumbleweed05: soudns liek a hardware issue [00:43] odd [00:43] ok brb pike_ im gonna download gftp, hopefully i have better luck than using fireftp. [00:43] it does [00:43] dang it. [00:43] i like it might be the hard drive. but i'm not sure. [00:43] does a liveCD work, tumbleweed05? [00:43] illriginal: gluck [00:43] i can't even hear it try to load up the hd. [00:43] jangari: i haven't tried yet. [00:43] Mushrooms: windows has hidden files so that you can't mess with the system, linux has hidden files purely for convenience (all those config files get in the way) [00:43] how did you install in the first place? [00:44] from the livecd. [00:44] Ive found so many weird hidden things under windows.. its.. scary. Empty folders that i cant delete.. but are 'system critical' and so forth. :) [00:44] oh, just saw you said it doesn't even load the bios [00:44] lol. [00:44] does anyone know a good media player without gui? [00:44] Dr_willis, they probably contain OS files that are hidden by windows.. [00:44] blubb0r, video or audio? [00:45] yea, there is a way to show "system files" that are different from just normal hidden files [00:45] blubb0r: mplayer [00:45] audio.. [00:45] tumbleweed05: old machine, or what? [00:45] hey... is it possible to hide the network password from the /etc/network/interfaces file? googling for "hide key from /etc/network/interfaces" didn't work out too well... [00:45] not really. [00:45] i.e., has it ever worked? [00:45] sony vaio vgn-n230n [00:45] haxality, it was totally empty. :) i checked and was able to remove it under linux. But its one of the mysteries of windows. Heh [00:45] it came with vista. [00:46] got pissed at it. and installed ubuntu. [00:46] i'm not a newb at linux. but it's been a few years. [00:46] install went fine. [00:46] nemilar and prince_jammys either of you got any ideas on that log file? [00:46] used it for about a week when it happened. [00:46] tumbleweed05: i think youll be pleasantly suprised. just dont give up alot to learn [00:46] well bbl [00:46] !info mpc123 | blubb0r maybe this will satisfy you, I just found it randomly [00:46] blubb0r maybe this will satisfy you, i just found it randomly: mpc123 (source: mpc123): Command-line Musepack audio player. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.2.1-1 (gutsy), package size 17 kB, installed size 80 kB [00:47] i'm gonna try the livecd. and if it can install just do a reinstall of the OS. [00:47] K4k: googling, still a problem with .Xauthority [00:47] anyone help me with basics on how to re-wrap a kernal to enable a touchscreen on an LG tablet [00:47] ? [00:47] although, tumbleweed05... [00:47] Hi everyone, Which software is the best vlc/mplayer deluge/transmission/bitorrent??? [00:47] prince_jammys, yea that's all I have found as well [00:47] whats that? [00:47] how do I use festival? [00:47] for ubuntu? [00:47] ok so now that I know i can't access an iTunes shared library [00:47] moubny. [00:47] if the bios isn't loading then no matter how you install, it won't boot, right? [00:47] !best [00:47] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, join #ubuntu-bots and ask there. [00:47] yes, gutsy gibbon [00:47] yes. [00:47] yes tumbleweed05 [00:48] is there any way for me to import an itunes xml file in Linux [00:48] in fact, without bios it shouldn't even boot the cd [00:48] via samba [00:48] transmission for bittorrent [00:48] quittt: /join #ubuntu-offtopic maybe a number of people there use it i have not [00:48] true. [00:48] so that should be a good test, tumbleweed05 [00:48] but i'm gonna give it a shot. if it's the hard drive i'm gonna be pissed. [00:48] yeah, do it [00:48] it is not offtopic, since it is part of Ubuntu [00:49] prince_jammys, I just noticed this line on the second to last line "(II) Configured Mouse: ps2EnableDataReporting: succeeded" so the mouse should work? [00:49] tumbleweed05: it's probably more then the hard drive [00:49] well, if it's the hard drive, it's more easily replaceable than the motherboard [00:49] what else do you think? [00:49] mb [00:49] ya. if it's the motherboard then i might as well get a new comp. [00:49] macbook prolly. [00:49] and dual boot ubuntu on that also :) [00:49] K4k: i guess, there's a couple of errors i saw -- one involving DRI . But the .Xauth business is a problem [00:50] quittt: i know its ontoppic i just dont know the answer and a few in there use it :) [00:50] how can you setup ubuntu to automount eSATA drives? [00:50] or you could try reinstalling bios [00:50] K4k: [00:50] K4k: does root own that file still? [00:50] hello [00:50] ya. need to find it though. [00:50] wheres the SERVER list for software sources stored? [00:50] no I'm the owner and the group for it [00:50] prince_jammys, [00:50] power source sb checked first [00:50] dual boot ubuntu and os 10.5 on a macbook would be nice [00:50] hello madmax [00:50] except for the whole apple thing [00:51] lol shut up jangari. [00:51] it should be easy enough to reinstall the bios, because that sounds like the issue, look into that [00:51] i'm using a mac mini now. [00:51] sorry, but apple sh|ts me [00:51] k i will. [00:51] guys can you help me with something. I installed gdesklets but didnt like them and uninstalled, after reboot I can only see my icons/launchers on desktop like iconname.desktop and the open text editor when I click on them [00:51] lol. [00:51] not more than sony though ;) [00:52] sampoo, hello. sorry I was typing :D [00:52] K4k: does root still own the file? [00:52] prince_jammys, no I own it completely [00:52] proprietary software i can handle, sometimes, proprietary hardware though, man... [00:52] wheres the SERVER list for software sources stored? [00:52] i am working on an ipv6 vpn for privacy, security, free speech, and wanted to verify that the most commonly used distribution can connect. http://eleuther.net/ if you are interested. i really need to verify that ubuntu can connect without problems [00:52] K4k: is it rwxrwxrwx? [00:52] Helvasca: /etc/apt/sources.list [00:53] anyone ? [00:53] prince_jammys, no it's -rw------- [00:53] K4k: sudo chmod 777 .Xauthority <-- and try again [00:53] thank you very much pike_ conclusion is, FireFTP is not made for Linux lol... best to be used with Windows. gFTP works like a champ! [00:53] gftp eh? [00:53] thanks to you too prince_jammys :P [00:54] might try that myself, not happy with fireftp [00:54] yeah gFTP works nicely and quickly :) [00:54] K4k: actually not necessary, mine is rw [00:54] kitche: Im looking for where the list of mirrors is - ALL the possible servers [00:54] prince_jammys, still nothing, but I am getting the feeling that it's my vm that's messing up, not my install...I'll try this on actual hardware tonight maybe that will work [00:54] Helvasca: it's on the ubuntu website I believe [00:55] Helvasca, there are a bunch in there that are commented out, but I recommend googling for sources.list generator and you will find what you're looking [00:55] K4k : sorry, though it wont affect anything.... to change it back: sudo chmod 600 .Xauthority <-- permissions were correct, just checked [00:55] anyone here use dkms [00:55] ? [00:55] I need help with "dkms" [00:55] !mirrors | Helvasca [00:55] Helvasca: Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://nl.releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Archive - PLEASE use the !torrents to download Gutsy, and help keeping the servers' load low! [00:55] K4k: I want to add a server to the list! [00:55] I want to compile lirc, but it requires dkms... so I have no idea how to do this [00:56] is there linux online course you can take, cos i'm totally lost! [00:56] dkms is a dell product [00:57] that makes perfect sense [00:57] lol [00:57] why is ubuntu using dell crap? [00:57] on how to use the terminal window for instance? [00:57] I actually resolved my problem :D [00:57] prince_jammys, thanks so much for all your help, I'll be back on later tonight and let you know if I keep having the issue on actual hardware. I'm off work now though so I'm leaving [00:57] sampoo: read. search google [00:57] danbhfive: I want to add a mirror to the list [00:57] K4k: ok -- we'll get to the bottom of it [00:57] i tried that, but dont understand celi0us [00:58] omg I'm in love with linux [00:58] mad_max02: :) [00:58] prince_jammys, I hope so, I would really love to make this work. I'm trying to make an absolute minimalistic ubuntu installation with icewm and if it works it will have a < 200MB footprint and use less then 100MB of RAM for a full install [00:58] ubotu: tell mad_max02 about love [00:58] Helvasca: scroll to the bottom of the page [00:58] I'm working in IT for about 12 years [00:58] and I'm with pcs from 1989 [00:58] but I never felt so good with OS [00:59] i think i need to phone a friend..bye all [00:59] sampoo; this is ubuntu however the novell site has two books (pdf) that is pretty comprehensive of course it is geared towards novell but is good for learning linux (IMHO) [00:59] endless possibilities [00:59] can i configure nautilus to show certain field in the list view?

[01:14] lol @ prince_jammys [01:14] talking to yourself again? [01:14] <_Oz_> I'm in #windows trying to explain to a few gomers why Vista is such a terrible piece of software. They're not very good at paying attention. [01:14] danbhfive: why [01:14] how do I make stardict read? [01:14] what are the ways to run windows apps. some i know are wine (app layer), virtualbox(virtualisation).. can you please tell me what are ways. and what are faster and what are slower accordingly? [01:14] prince_jammys: well, it looks like you are talking to yourself [01:14] i've freshly installed Ubuntu 64-bit. CDs and USB drives aren't automatically mounting. why might this be? [01:14] _Oz_: have fun explaining that [01:14] prince_jammys: normally its mnted /media/STORE (its now mounted as well, b.t.w.) [01:14] danbhfive: thanks [01:15] rxsa did you make a folder where you want the partition to be mounted? [01:15] danbhfive: oops [01:15] !stardict [01:15] Sorry, I don't know anything about stardict - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [01:15] rxsa: ok [01:15] lol [01:15] oh.. the flash is bugging everything! almoust every sites that need flash plugin are incorrect, you know ? how i repair this ? [01:15] !flash [01:16] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (for !Dapper and !Edgy, a recent version is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [01:16] I just needed to change "unix nextwork" to windows network [01:16] rxsa: do you care what users have access to the partition? [01:16] then is worked fine [01:16] prince_jammys: im okay with /media/STORE (default folder) but i have to choose a new one, i create one [01:16] prince_jammys: no i dont [01:16] nemilar: I've downloaded it, and it works! Thank you very much... :) [01:16] rxsa you don't have to make a new folder - if you are, tell me the name [01:17] nemilar: May be only md5sum problem.. [01:17] lol [01:17] prince_jammys: im not, ill use the default [01:17] Hi [01:17] umdoistres follow the link ubotu gave you and also make sure you don't have gnash installed... sudo apt-get remove gnash [01:17] rxsa one more thing, in a terminal: echo $UID [01:18] how do you partition a /home directory? [01:18] Is there a way to have Madwifi-ng snapshots automaicly downloaded to a dir? starting at a certain date [01:18] I am in need of some advice/help [01:18] mjw-: i have gnash installed, thats the problem [01:18] prince_jammys: nothing happens [01:18] frijolie: are you using xp or vista? [01:18] umdoistres then uninstall it using the command i gave you. make sure you close your web browser(s) too and restart them [01:19] rxsa: echo $UID [01:19] frijolie: are you running gutsy right now? [01:19] Dtortot: it's not going to be a dual boot...solely Ubuntu on a 200GB HDD [01:19] rxsa: in a new terminal [01:19] How can I hide icons from the desktop? [01:19] how can i record my desktop audio? trying with sound recorder but its silent [01:19] not running anything, well I'm going to wipe Vista off a spankin new laptop and replace it with Gutsy [01:19] frijolie: do you know how to partition, at least in general? [01:19] prince_jammys: it says "1000" [01:20] what do i have to do for changes to /etc/fstab to take effect [01:20] rxsa ok paste the following line into your fstab [01:20] tanner: reboot, or sudo mount -a [01:20] prince_jammys: kay [01:20] rxsa: /dev/hda2 /media/STORE vfat uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=000 0 0 [01:20] oh, the problem is gone ! thank you very much ! [01:20] danbhfive: yeah, I know that I want to have 10GB for / (root), 2GB for /swap, and the rest of the HDD for /home [01:21] I keep trying to install ubuntu as dual boot I have the partitions ready and all and the somewhere around 50% of the installation I get a message that says that I am missing one file and that the installation had to be stopped, I dunno what file that is but I have tried with 3 different dls of Ubuntu from 3 different mirrors in North America and they all failed [01:21] prince_jammys: i have to retype it, right?! XD okay, geez :) [01:21] How can I remove icons from my desktop please? [01:21] rxsa: and save: make sure there is one BLANK line at the end of the file, by hitting enter [01:21] frijolie: make it 20 for root, depending on the overall size of your hdd [01:21] frijolie: then during the setup, just do that. You have to set the mount points, so you will have to set the 10gb as / and just set the larger one as /home [01:21] rxsa: cut and paste. don't retype [01:21] Jangari: 20GB for / ? [01:21] i reckon [01:22] frijolie: To be safe, 20g sounds right [01:22] i have 20 each overall for entire ubuntu and xp pro, the rest is data, 120GB [01:22] frijolie: the swap just needs to be partitioned as swap, no need to set a mount point for that [01:22] Ok I have a problem, I cant open more then 2 firefox browsers, it just hangs when i open up the 3rd one. Anyone have an idea on this issue? [01:22] any idea which file I'm missing [01:22] <_Oz_> dtortot: I'd expect an error on the disc [01:22] danbhfive: what do i have to add to fstab so that a device mounts rw and what not? (this is an external eSATA drive) [01:22] prince_jammys: yeah, its a textfile, not the terminal, though! (D'OH!) [01:22] =( [01:22] danbhfive: last time I did it, afterwards by right-clicking on the drive in nautilus and choosing properties it didn't display the correct size [01:22] prince_jammys, hey I'm back and on real hardware lol [01:22] i mean, i've only used a small portion of that on ubuntu, but imagine if you ran out of space on / to install some new apps? [01:22] Oz: I have tried 3 different discs burned at different speeds and nothing [01:22] danbhfive: for my /home directory..it only showed something like 4GB when it should have been 120GB [01:23] rxsa: select it, paste it, make sure there is one blank line at the bottom of the file and save it [01:23] i [01:23] <_Oz_> dtortot: it's gotta be a disc problem [01:23] <_Oz_> dtortot: all by the same burner? [01:23] <_Oz_> it's either the drive or the disc [01:23] Photocopy: 20GB is a lot...but I do have a 200GB HDD [01:23] frijolie: well, that's clearly wrong, do you already have ubuntu installed? if there is a last time? [01:23] Ok I have a problem, I cant open more then 2 firefox browsers, it just hangs when i open up the 3rd one. Anyone have an idea on this issue? [01:23] prince_jammys: thank you a lot, ill reboot now and try... i'm back in a few minutes! [01:23] how do I stop privoxy from starting on startup? [01:23] two by the same burner and one by a different one [01:23] frijolie: Not my laptop, but thats what i'd do... [01:23] tanner: im sorry, I don't really know [01:23] but I have burned lots of things with both and they all work fine [01:23] rxsa try this [01:23] danbhfive: no it's not installed yet...I'm at the part where I partition the drive now... [01:23] damn, 200GB is fine, opt for a larger / than just 10GB [01:24] frijolie: Then again, im a retard with a 7g swap on a 80g drive... rofl [01:24] prince_jammys: huh? [01:24] rxsa actually yeah reboot, since thats what you want to test, sorry [01:24] Photocopy: we'll comprimise and I'll say 15GB for root [01:24] frijolie: Better safe than sorry? [01:24] frijolie: well, I personally have no idea why that would happen, you should be able to just do it during the install [01:24] prince_jammys: yeah thx [01:24] Seriously.... ugh [01:25] how can I hide all desktop icons? [01:25] danbhfive: yeah I'm about to start creating the partitions..i was just clarifying that I did it right because that did seem weird last time I tried [01:25] what's the descrepancy in size displayed after installation, frijolie? [01:25] prince_jammys:what program u use to edit .pdf on linux [01:25] anyone know what do i have to add to fstab so that a device mounts rw and what not? (this is an external eSATA drive) [01:25] Jangari: yes it was on a previous install... [01:25] does any one for sure of a mirror where I can dl ubuntu from that will work 100% on installation [01:25] no, frijolie, how big was the descrepancy? [01:25] left click icon and press del button [01:25] Jangari: 116gigs [01:25] icesword: have never done it... i only view pdf, have never edit it. i know openoffice can export to pdf but thats about all i know [01:25] or is there a way to find out which file I am missing and maybe adding it to my existing iso [01:26] how can i record my desktop audio? trying with sound recorder but its silent [01:26] Jangari: From what I remember, I made the /home partition somewhere around 120GB and it was only showing something like 4GB of free space [01:26] prince_jammys:i see [01:26] mm, righto [01:26] hello..... im trying to get a network adapter to work... a D-Link WUA-2340... i used ndiswrapper and installed NetA5AGU.inf..... and it reports that the driver is installed, but the network card doesnt have any networks in the network applet, nor does it give the option to enable wireless internet..... how do i fix this? [01:26] how do I stop privoxy from starting on startup? [01:27] is there a graphical app for Ubuntu Linux I can install that shows what processes are using each file on the system? or which files each process running is using? [01:27] frijolie: thats a big house you have [01:27] what is the file that specifies desktop background in icewm? [01:27] hi, i have 2 hds, the second one partitioned as /home 185GB, and /swap 2GB. the first hd is not partitioned and / is 74GB. is there a more cost effective way of partitioning my drives? my monstrous 74GB / partition sounds a bit excessive [01:27] i have 1.5GB of ram [01:27] K4k: the problem was fixed? [01:27] omg this channel has more than 1000 users [01:27] prince_jammys: Yes, this new HDD is 200GB on a laptop! [01:27] I cant use my Router with Wep on Ubuntu everytime i put in key a few mins later it comes back asking again.. [01:28] prince_jammys, no I'm on the "bloated" system that was my first try [01:28] My partition table is retarded... Gary_inNYC thats not horrible. === Varka_ is now known as Varka [01:28] prince_jammys, I originally tried stripping a standard install and it works well, but it's still over 2GB installed [01:28] way more then I want [01:29] does anyone know how to make my sound not so quiet. i reinstalled an updates a few weeks ago but the sound has decreasd in volume so that i can bary hear it any fixes?? [01:29] what does "neta5agu : invalid driver!" mean? [01:29] Gary_inNYC: it is pretty unlikely that you'll need that much for / yes [01:29] prince_jammys: yeah thank you so so so so so so so so so so much. it works! nice! [01:29] ic, what should i do to further divide my first drive? [01:29] rxsa np [01:29] prince_jammys: quick one... how do i hide all desktop icons? === kilrae_ is now known as kilrae [01:30] Photocopy: no idea [01:30] aww [01:30] how can i record my desktop audio? trying with sound recorder but its silent [01:30] ??? idk [01:30] Photocopy, type "gconf-editor" [01:30] it's in there [01:30] Gary_inNYC: well just dont have such a big / drive, create another partition and adjoin it to the fs tree with mount [01:30] Ok, it says (the installer/partitioner) I have 182642MB "free space" how do I allocate/partition that to my /home directory? [01:30] K4k: I dont know how to use this program.. =S i hope i dont blow it up [01:31] Photocopy: i use KDE - so it wouldnt apply [01:31] just make that a partition whose mount point is /home? [01:31] Photocopy, open that program and do the following... [01:31] i understand that / doesn't need to be that big, but i'm not sure which partitions i should create. /usr ? or a /var? [01:31] prince_jammys: nice to see that one could even be helped on friday night 2:30 am. XD I'll sure come back later to get on the experts nerves again. *g* gn8 [01:31] prince_Jammys: Understood, im used to xfce so there we have it.. lol [01:31] hello, everyone, i'm in a bit of a fix. in the last linux-headers update, something happened with my computer and i can no longer save or print things from certain applications. doing some digging around, i believe the problem lies in libc-dev or libc (libc.so.6 is causing the problem) does anyone know how to either rollback the linux-headers update or fix libc? [01:32] how can i record my desktop audio? trying with sound recorder but its silent [01:32] anyone know how to fix sound issue being mega quiet? [01:32] K4k: Listening [01:32] trying to find it lol [01:32] how do I stop privoxy from starting on startup? [01:32] Gary_inNYC: it doesn't need to be any of those - sure you could mount /usr seperately but you probably have no need for doing so - just use any extra space for your personal files, audio, films etc, call it whatever you want [01:32] !help [01:32] I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [01:32] it's either "apps > nautilus" ...something [01:32] Photocopy, [01:32] k [01:32] or can I just leave it as "free space"? [01:32] oh ic, so i should set up a volume partition between both drives for /home right? [01:33] K4k: I dont see anything like that... =S [01:33] Photocopy, apps > nautilus > and maybe desktop? [01:33] im asking this because i havent used ubuntu long enough to understand its long term usage in terms of space allocation [01:34] K4k: Theres no "apps>nautilus" [01:34] Photocopy, then I don't know, there should be [01:34] K4k: H/o I got it [01:34] hey im having some problems playing sound in streaming videos [01:34] K4k: Thanks [01:35] Gary_inNYC: if you want to - the point here is that the unix model of a filesystem differs from the model that windows inherited from cp/m - that is to say that by having all files exist in essentially one large namespace we don't need to care about which bit of ferro-magnetic material it is stored on. All programs you install will place files in /usr/bin /tmp /etc so you do need to think about the greatest extent that they will take up [01:35] ok some videos have perfect sound its just others that dont, any ideas?? [01:35] Gary_inNYC: having said that many of the items that take up the most space on windows are games and many linux users will install those into their home dir - i.e. they are not provided as packages which will use the standard layout of a linux system [01:35] hello. I have a postfix box that when you connect from the internal network allows you to telnet on port 25. Id like to change that, such that no-one can send any message. Any ideas? [01:36] hi guys; I am trying to install StepMania from source but I keep getting this error msg "configure: error: No OpenGL library could be found." when I enter the ./configure command. Any idea of what it can be? [01:36] is there any way to reinstall libc6? i can't seem to do it through aptitude [01:36] hi, i've got a few problems with xubuntu. it starts without any panels, i can start the panels by running xfce4-panel in the terminal but also settings manager, window manager settings or any of those wont open [01:36] any idea why my 2nd monitor isn't working on ubuntu? [01:36] do I need to do special stuff? [01:37] everything looks really ugly aswell, when i click settings manager everything changes and looks nice then goes back to how it looked before and nothing opens [01:37] Hi [01:37] anyone? [01:37] hi [01:37] Hi [01:38] how do I stop privoxy from starting on startup? [01:38] Is there any workaround for framebuffer console problem at start-up? [01:38] kk, thx NigelS [01:38] whats the fstab option so that when i mount my drive my user can read/write to it? [01:38] Ok I have a problem, I cant open more then 2 firefox browsers, it just hangs when i open up the 3rd one. Anyone have an idea on this issue? [01:38] danbhfive? [01:38] what kinda of iso burner can i get for ubuntu [01:38] kind* [01:38] nerolinux [01:38] maybe [01:38] tanner: one way is with umask -- if you paste the line here i will show you [01:39] K3b? [01:39] or gnome baker [01:39] k3b [01:39] tanner:right click on the fdriver ion [01:39] what else? :P [01:39] tune it uself [01:39] Cyanide1: loads, nautilus cd burner will allow right click burning; k3b has lots of features [01:39] prince_jammys: UUID=ec8bf9ba-764a-4c69-bca2-54de08f282d5 /media/XFS_eSATA_Backup xfs users,defaults 0 0 [01:40] tanner only you can write? [01:40] prince_jammys: currently only root can write to it [01:40] Nigels where do i find that [01:40] frijolie: hey there, im here [01:41] How can i change desktop icon font clolor? [01:41] i want to make it black [01:41] NigelS_: where can i find that [01:41] tantanner: UUID=ec8bf9ba-764a-4c69-bca2-54de08f282d5 /media/XFS_eSATA_Backup xfs users,umask=027 0 0 <---and only you can right, group users can read-write, and everyone else can't do anything [01:42] tanner: *write [01:42] danbhfive: sorry, you just seemed the most apt to help me...do I need to specify the remaining "free space" to ext3 and have /home as the mount point? [01:42] tanner don't forget to back up the file if you change it [01:42] danbhfive: or does the free space just become dynamically allocated to the rest of the OS if I leave it? [01:42] frijolie: yeah, that's what I would do [01:42] frijolie: no, you have to format it as ext3 [01:43] danbhfive: ahh...I didn't do that last time, maybe that was my problem [01:43] is there any way to install old versions of the linux-headers? [01:43] prince_jammys: perhaps another option, xfs does not understand the umask option [01:43] tanner: says bad line? [01:43] danbhfive: so partition it to /home or just leave it as free space? Sorry I don't totally understand UNIX filesystem yet [01:43] frijolie: yep, that would do it, partitioning is the one thing that an OS can't handle itself, it must be done during the install phase [01:44] prince_jammys: XFS: unknown mount option [umask]. [01:44] how do i apply a theme in emerald? anyone? [01:44] frijolie: partition it as ext3 [01:44] Cyanide1: the same place you can find everything else, in the repository - just use add/remove apps or synaptic to locate cd burning software and particular software [01:44] frijolie: then, set the mount point, to /home [01:44] tanner mmm never have done it with xfs [01:44] How can I determine what process has the soundcard locked? [01:44] danbhfive: ok, I'll do that. Thanks... [01:45] nix_ emerald-theme-manager [01:45] prince_jammys: any other solutions? [01:45] could somebody tell me what the ubuntu symbols beside certain things in the synaptic package manager mean please??? [01:45] tanner: one more try::: UUID=ec8bf9ba-764a-4c69-bca2-54de08f282d5 /media/XFS_eSATA_Backup xfs uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=027 0 0 [01:45] mjw: i have to install it? [01:45] hi, i have problam about totem http://dpaste.com/35251 [01:45] mjw: i have emerald, but when i click on a theme it dont apply?? wtf? [01:45] tanner first ---> echo $UID in a terminal and see if you are user 1000 [01:46] logankoester: The sound link for troubleshooting covers getting multiple programs using the sound card use /msg ubotu sound [01:46] sean: that they're ubuntu supported packages, part of the main ubuntu system as opposed to the community maintained ones [01:46] nix_ it should be installed with the rest of compiz automatically [01:46] prince_jammys: now only root can mount it [01:46] thanks Veeger1 [01:46] np [01:46] frijolie: it might be that you actually do it all in one step, I don't remember. I think you set it up to partition, then right click, and set the mount point somewhere [01:46] is there a correct method for building ones own kernel from the ubuntu sources? I want to enable PAE on a desktop kernel [01:46] prince_jammys: adding users to the options i get unknown option uid :-\ [01:46] Hey folks, you're probably busy what with the alpha release... [01:46] ok NigelS_ thanks =) [01:47] My list of problems on ubuntu just never seem to get smaller [01:47] prince_jammys: iirc, umask is not a valid option for XFS [01:47] tanner ok obviously an xfs thing so i don't know, sorry ... [01:47] but, I was wondering. since the plugin dir has changed in ff 3.0 - do I just go ahead and copy the contents of /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox to the new dir, symlinks and all? [01:47] mjw-: its just not working. whered i go wrong? [01:47] or is there a more-correct method? [01:47] danbhfive: yeah, I know how to physically partition the drive using the installer. I just wasn't sure which was the best configuration. [01:47] tanner: as root just give ownership of the drive to your user [01:47] nemo, there is a deb for 3.0b [01:47] nix_ what happens when you run emerald-theme-manager [01:47] NigelS_: to the physical drive? [01:47] nemo Dont worry [01:48] hey this adrian i deleted my bottom bar on the desktop the bottom panel how do I bring it back [01:48] tanner: or to a folder on it that you mount somewhere useful [01:48] frijolie: ok, good :) [01:48] Drk_Guy: my mom had to be moved to hardy due to sound issues in gutsy - she wants her flash plugin back :) [01:48] Ok so just installed ubuntu, and I cant open more then 2 firefox browsers, the 3rd one just hangs and firefox browsers dont respond. Anyone have an idea? [01:48] ok i need help i used the apt-get to get k3b and now i dont know where it is [01:48] O.O [01:48] mjw-: it opens up fine but when i add themes i can't apply them [01:48] Drk_Guy: I'm just hesitating to muck with package management by adjusting symlinks n stuff manually [01:48] NigelS_: what do you mean? [01:48] nemo Not nice [01:48] Drk_Guy: what isn't nice? :) [01:48] nemo, compile [01:48] hm? [01:48] does anyone know how to bring the bottom bar on the desktop back [01:49] nemo Yeah, compile from source [01:49] nemo And see what happens [01:49] Drk_Guy: ... compile... adobe flash? wha? [01:49] anyone? [01:49] adrian: right click top bar and add a new one then pull it to the bottom of the screen [01:49] nemo Werent you talking about FF 3.0 b [01:49] ??? [01:49] um. ok. anyone else familiar with the new directory layout in latest hardy release? [01:49] THERES OVER 1000 in here [01:49] Drk_Guy: yes, which has been released in hardy - it has a new plugin directory [01:49] anyone know why my emerald theme manager doesn't apply themes? [01:49] nix_ odd...i'm back on my non-emerald box but clicking on a theme should apply it (assuming you're actually running emerald, of course) [01:49] Drk_Guy: I'd like to update the contents correctly.

[01:53] Cyanide1: Under App-->Video and Sound [01:53] but there was 4 mb space free [01:53] tanner: change ownership of the mount folder to your user - it should work as normal - there's no user ownership option for xfs that I'm aware of; normal permissions will work [01:53] so i enlarged /home [01:53] ok there it is thanks [01:53] to add this 4 mb [01:54] and after this operation gparted made an error [01:54] and now it doesn't see /dev/hda6 (home) [01:54] i can't lost all my documents and settings [01:54] /join #ubuntu-ops [01:54] NigelS_: yes but how do i do that?

[01:58] they probably phisycally exist on the disk, but there is no /home partition [01:58] adrian: add window list and workspace switcher. That should fix it.

[01:59] no, I mean what is the command to actually pull up that gui app [01:59] NigelS_: still nothing [01:59] !flashissues [01:59] The Flash plugin installation has been broken for some time. A fix has been released now, although it might not have yet reached all mirrors. If the update fails to install Flash, try « sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-nonfree ; sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree » [02:00] K4k: sudo synaptic [02:00] is there a player for ubuntu wich plays winamp playlists? [02:00] Odd-rationale, is there a way to filter to see just what's install in synaptic? I couldn't find it [02:00] Question:"Also, if you have already added lines to your XFree86/Xorg configuration file (XF86Config/XF86Config-4 or xorg.conf), you should comment them out and restart X. Since we'll be stepping through the entire process, we need X to ignore the tablet until we're ready. Otherwise, X will just get in the way." when it says "X" in this case, what does it refer to? [02:00] adrian: did that fix the bottom bar? [02:00] maybe i should do a new partition with the same file system without formatting it? [02:00] Odd-rationale, er...nvm found it [02:00] well it did but i do i move the icons like move them where i want them [02:00] K4k: k [02:01] how do you move the icons in other words [02:01] i tried click and drag but that dosen't [02:01] can i stop links to mounted file systems in /media from appearing on the desktop? [02:01] i like minimal desktops [02:02] Jangari use ubuntu-tweak [02:02] there you can turn off this option easy way [02:02] thanks Cyr4x, i'll look into it [02:02] Jangari: yes gconf-editor apps metacity somewhere in there [02:02] Mushrooms: X is the name of the server that powers your graphical session [02:02] So, any solution to my problem? [02:02] prince_jammys: ok. I understand. Thanks! [02:03] Any vbox users that figured out how to run a vm in window mode without the status and file bars? [02:03] Mushrooms: it's a server because many machines could actually hook up to your computer and view what youre viewing [02:03] Cyr4x: In livecd what does sudo fdisk -l show [02:04] when the bottom bar is created how do you drag the icon over to the left instead of having it in the middle [02:04] Veeger1: thanks, that worked. [02:04] adrian: right-click --> move? [02:05] thanks [02:05] prince_jammys: so does that mean anyone can see what i'm doing? [02:05] adrian: You might have to unlock first. And unlock everthing in the way... [02:05] Veeger1: found it, it's in apps > nautilus > desktop > volumes visible [02:05] Mushrooms: if you set it up that way - [02:05] is there a player for ubuntu wich plays winamp playlists? [02:06] prince_jammys: yep, kinda like a remote desktop concept right? [02:06] Mushrooms: it's powerful stuff -- as a normal, single user you only do a little bit of what it can do [02:06] no it works fine [02:06] i was albe to move it no problem [02:06] Mushrooms: right [02:07] Mushrooms: it allows multiple users to have a graphic session on one machine, either independent of each other, or connected [02:08] Jangari: great, sorry but I am not on my regular computer and didnt have my notes handy [02:08] prince_jammys: I see, that's far more poweful than just a remote desktop instance. This isn't enabled by default I hope? [02:08] Does anyone have a good suggestion for a vista-related IRC channel? [02:08] Mushrooms: no [02:08] pocketdrummer: great [02:08] s'alright, you pointed me in the right direction [02:09] #vista ? [02:09] Mushrooms: well, you can log in as another user without losing your session by default -- but thats not a big deal [02:10] Mushrooms: if you create another user account and switch user you'll see that you can switch over and then back, and X will be running a screensaver on the other account! [02:10] ok i need help i just burnt the iso for ubuntu 7.10 on to a dise i go to load from disk on boot and it brings me right back here why didnt it do anything [02:10] Is there a utility to check and repair ubuntu [02:11] KDE and Gnome both freeze up [02:11] i'll try this [02:11] prince_jammys: I see, I'll have a go at that later today then.

[02:12] can someone help me === tdjacr|away is now known as Thedjatclubrock [02:13] Veeger1: It is the version from apt-get kubuntu-desktop [02:13] CyanideD-> what is a dise? can you clarify what you said? [02:13] CyanideD: Certainly, please just ask your question [02:13] Mushrooms: X sets up the whole video, mouse, keyboard --- then something like gnome or KDE sits on top [02:13] i just burnt the iso for ubuntu 7.10 on to a disk i go to load from disk on boot and it brings me right back here why didnt it do anything [02:13] CyanideD: you might have to change the default boot order for your machine, though it should boot from a bootable CD first by default [02:13] prince_jammys: oh ok is that why it's called xorg.conf [02:13] Mushrooms: most things in this set up are detachable, which is why you have so many options and configurations [02:14] hey guys [02:14] hello all [02:14] yo [02:14] CyanideD: Sorry, missed that.. you need to define what you mean by brings you back here [02:14] hello, i have box running mail on a box which has both internal and external access. I am running this at a school, and noticed that i could send a message as anyone via telneting to port 25. Is there a way to prevent this??If kids discover this "feature" they can send as anyone. [02:14] CyanideD-> it brought you right here? how was that possible? [02:14] his/her normal installation, i assume, Veeger1 [02:14] Mushrooms: it's not like you uninstall Internet Explorer and break the whole system --- you have to try hard to break this system [02:14] i need help on flashdrive hotplugging [02:15] I don't want to step on toes, but I had a linux question. Is there a protocol to getting help here? [02:15] How to install an rpm file? [02:15] Jangari: Did not want to assume [02:15] is anyone else having trouble with TS on ubuntu? [02:15] !ask | mattgrieser [02:15] brings me back to ubuntu 6.06 dapper instead of loading the disk [02:15] mattgrieser: 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. :-) [02:15] Che-Anarc: not advised [02:15] ;) [02:15] !ask ? [02:15] Sorry, I don't know anything about ask ? - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [02:15] Veeger1 is acrobat reader [02:15] mattgrieser: :) thats the protocol [02:15] Che: i dont believe you can install RPM on ubuntu safly [02:15] everytime i eject my flashdrive, this error message always popups: Cannot unmount volume === SVI is now known as DBO [02:15] with its details: cannot remove directory [02:15] Sorry guys, is there any way of doing a windows system restore using linux? [02:15] CyanideD-> is your system setup to boot from CD first? you have to modify your bios to make this happen [02:15] Veeger1: It is the version from apt-get kubuntu-desktop [02:16] prince_jammys: lol you never know, newbies like myself can be pretty capable of that sometimes. breaking stuff that is [02:16] Is there a way to undo an "rm"? [02:16] you should probably use windows to do a windows restore, VistaDidItAgain [02:16] tet [02:16] no, mattgrieser [02:16] Mushrooms: careful with the sudo, that's all [02:16] i went to boot menu pressed boot from IDE-CDRom [02:16] CyanideD: So the disk is not booting? Did you md5 the download? if the disk does not boot, and your system is set to boot the cd first, you have a bad burn a bad download etc [02:16] hello [02:16] fair enough. Anyone else using snippits? [02:16] Does anybody know a way to open PowerISO DAA files? [02:17] Hi all, what's the name of the package that when right-click a ".deb" file opens a GUI for installing it? [02:17] Thedjatclubrock: What do you mean by didnt work. [02:17] CyanideD: do you still have the iso image on your machine? check the md5 [02:17] Do somebody speak in French ? [02:17] i'd like to know how to change a pfd to .odc anybody know how? [02:17] could the burn speed have something to do with it i had the same problem when i made my 6.006 live cd [02:17] I cant, windows isn't booting . . . gets stuck at crcdisk.sys or the green-bar load screen Jangari [02:17] !fr | Bidou [02:17] Bidou: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais. [02:17] prince_jammys: yeah that was anothing thing i wanted to ask, is there some sort of convention for using sudo? like obviously sudo lets you do anything, so it'd make sense to not use it unless you really need it [02:17] how do i md5 [02:17] try #windows then [02:17] Joelito: gdebit-gtk [02:17] !md5 | CyanideD [02:17] CyanideD: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [02:17] Bidou, probably not enough to say "oui" [02:18] Mushrooms: Please also see /msg ubotu gksudo [02:18] Thanks Jangari :-) [02:18] no worries [02:18] Veeger1: Gnome shows an empty error dialogue and freezes [02:18] cellofellow: thanks :) [02:18] mattgrieser: the whole question about snippets ::: best chances of having someone who knows answer [02:18] i'd like to know how to change a .pfd to .odc anybody know how? [02:18] someone would like to tell me how to uninstall scim?I have a new input method installed. but the new method could not work because of scim [02:19] Thedjatclubrock: Obviously it did not alwasy do this since you got the second desktop installed. What other changes were made to the system, and non-official repos etc? [02:19] does anyone else use TS here? [02:19] kcynice: normal way of uninstalling didn't work [02:19] kcynice: ? [02:19] i cant get voice to work [02:19] Veeger1: awesome, that would be quite helpful [02:19] Mushrooms: the convention is only to use it when not using would solicit an error message "you don't have permission to do that? or "only root can do that", and only when you know what you're actually doing [02:19] kcynice: fctix? just apt-get remove [02:19] yes [02:19] Mushrooms: np [02:19] I want to use fcitx [02:20] Jangari: ok I understand. thanks!

[02:20] eg., the command sudo rm -R * would be disasterous [02:20] Veeger1: Repos? I just tried to dual-boot Debian, but when I got to the partitioner I decided that Ubuntu is better ;) and quit [02:20] hello [02:20] that's from sudo fdisk -l /dev/hda [02:20] ok,i will have a try [02:20] im having a problem using firefox [02:20] it seems /dev/hda6 but something is wrong [02:20] K4k: system > preferences > sessions [02:21] Jangari, erm...im not in gnome [02:21] Thedjatclubrock: can you get into recovery mode.. a cli?

[02:21] well, they're programs and commands to run on login [02:21] Hi.. i installed usenext.deb.. but.. apparently it is spyware? how will this effect me on linux / ubuntu? [02:21] i'd like to know how to change a .pfd to .odt anybody know how? [02:21] so? [02:21] Jangari, isn't it in file somewhere on the drive? [02:22] they said that there is spyware in accounts.exe.. does this still affect me on ubuntu since i installed it? [02:22] Thedjatclubrock: I dont know how much help I can be with an aborted debian install...on a dual boot... recovery mode is usually accessed from the grub menu [02:22] possibly, [02:22] its not avirus. apparently just spyware [02:22] anybody have any ideas? [02:22] I deleted a snippits example entitled "date" that pasted the current date. Anyone have the text of that file? [02:22] neopsyche: You installed it under wine? [02:22] Jangmunho: and what's the difference between dpkg -r and apt-get remove? [02:22] Veeger1: GNOME will work in failsafe [02:23] snippets for what, mattgrieser? [02:23] Veergerl.. no installed using .deb [02:23] snippits is a text replacer [02:23] Thedjatclubrock: I would not know where to begin to untangle that. sorry [02:23] join/ suse [02:23] what is the directory that contains the init directories? is it /etc ????? [02:23] Veeger1: Recovery seems to be working, Thanks :) [02:23] neopsyche: accounts.exe was in a deb? [02:23] Jony: /join* [02:24] um [02:24] right [02:24] sory bout that [02:24] http://rafb.net/p/SBAfaM13.html [02:24] still, i can't get in [02:24] veegerl.. yup [02:24] Thedjatclubrock: Sorry I dont have any good answers for that [02:24] kcynice: dpkg will just operate one single package, but apt-get will deal with the dependence [02:24] my sudo fscp -l /dev/hda result [02:24] ogre: /etc and /etc/init.d/, as well as /etc/rc(0-6).d and /etc/rcS.d/ [02:24] who do you do it exactly? [02:24] hello, im having a problem with browsing in firefox, i can onli go to sites via IP, any1 have any solutions? [02:24] very happy with ubuntu, only one problem: it can't read some small files from a DVD burned in win xp. win xp reads them with no problems (with the same computer). Path must be 128 characters. Other files are read normally. Any suggestion? [02:25] there is ff id and System BBT [02:25] Jangari it's snippits, not snippets. It is a text replacer [02:25] neopsyche: I assume it was not from our repos? But an exe in a Deb with a virus/spyware.. I need more info [02:25] i have run apt-get remove scim*,but when i press Ctrl+space, scim remainly can launch [02:25] i don't know what's this [02:25] i got that the first time mattgrieser, my silence was code for 'sorry, as i have no idea what snippits is, i can't help', but you might want to try learning some regular expressions [02:25] greetings all anyone know what package provides ld.so.nohwcap ? [02:26] kcynice: apt-get didn't give any errors? [02:26] Thedjatclubrock: From cli the first thing I would check is sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg if that helps at all [02:26] . [02:26] kcynice: try sudo apt-get --purge remove scim, and log off when the process finish. [02:26] prince_jammys: no. [02:26] Veegerl.. http://www.usenext.de/usenextde/download/usenext.deb [02:26] anyone know how nautilus can show more that the default columns in list view? I want audio properties [02:26] you mean,i should restart my computer? [02:27] Thanks Jangari. I just wanted to make sure! I'm oh so new... [02:27] hello can sum1 help me please? [02:27] mattgrieser: this "date" file is just a sample that came with the program? [02:27] probably best to refrain from rm'ing sh|t then, mattgrieser [02:27] kcynice: log off, not restart. Ctrl+Alt+backspace will do the job [02:27] prince: yes it is [02:27] or, reinstall snippits [02:27] ok [02:28] mattgrieser: did you try reinstalling the program so you get the file back? [02:28] does gutsy come with a C compiler? if not, what is a good one? [02:28] ogre: GCC is installed with the build-essential package [02:28] Jangari I think i should have used cp instead of mv when I moved the sample [02:29] mattgrieser: why not reinstall? [02:29] oh, if you only used mv, it should still be somewhere [02:29] prince: I have not tried that. I'm afraid the muchas configuration it took to get it working will be lost [02:29] the download is fine [02:29] so its the cd right [02:29] Starnestommy: 2 for 2 thanks alot === Jannita is now known as Johanna [02:30] mattgrieser: if you're concerned about that, you could try copying the configuration files (though i don't think reinstalling would overwrite them) [02:30] Veeger1: What would sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg do [02:30] Jangair: I used mv to get it to my actual folder and out of the examples folder, then I needed to change it and rm it, thinking it was still in /examples [02:30] how would i open a pdf so i can type over it in linux?? [02:30] mattgrieser: check this --> ls -al | grep snippits [02:31] does anyone in here use k3b to burn Iso [02:31] CyanideD: how about opening the update manager? it should (don't really know) offer to upgrade your whole system to 7.10 [02:31] no [02:31] mattgrieser: or just ls -al if you want to spot it yourself [02:31] checking now [02:32] prince_jammys: ok, i see it... now what [02:32] ok,my fcitx works well now. Thanks very much.all [02:32] mattgrieser: also .... did you just move the date file but don't know where it is? [02:32] nope [02:32] or, mattgrieser, if you want to be thorough, try ls -laR / | grep snippits [02:32] can anyone help me solve a "cannot initialize HAL" error? [02:32] mattgrieser: is there a file or folder DOTsnippits [02:32] oh, forget that, you found it [02:32] prince_jammys: no, I said --> rm ~/.snippits/date [02:33] well then, 'oops' [02:33] i get no option to upgrade [02:33] old debiant user, I always default to using apt, not very antiquated with synaptic. Stumbled upon the add/remove programs button in the menu. Can someone tell me about it?

[02:33] Thedjatclubrock: It would reset some basic video settings that might be causing a problem, but other than that No decent ideas [02:34] mattgrieser: don't put a dot in front of the backup , and it wont be a hidden file [02:34] well i'm gonna be off for now, thanks for all of your help today prince_jammys, Veeger1 and Jangari [02:34] It's not a crucial file or anything, I just couldn't find the contents online anywhere I checked [02:34] can't help you CyanideD, its either the disk or your cdrom [02:34] Mushrooms: bye [02:34] neopsyche: YEs I did, but I dont care to install the deb to try and help you [02:34] ok [02:34] mattgrieser: you may get an error if its a folder and not a file... if you do, replace cp with cp -r [02:34] can anyone help? i get a "failed to initialize hal" error when logging in... [02:34] ok then what program do you use to burn isos [02:34] but one last resort, CyanideD, is go into the bios when you restart the machine and make sure that the cdrom is the first startup device [02:35] neopsyche: I dont know why they would have a *.exe inside a deb.. and how did you scan it for virii? === jd_ is now known as linuxpoet [02:35] ill do it again [02:35] hello, cud i have sum help please, im very new to linux and im having sum trouble browsing, im not able to go to site via the url, i can onli browse using ip, any solutions come to mind?

[02:46] carter: yes [02:46] ooh, 'information available', never got that message before [02:46] there should be some sort of warning if a user decides to hide alacarte [02:46] carter: in recovery, sans the sudo [02:46] ok, i'll try that. [02:46] c01100011: that could be useful [02:46] oh, it's just telling me to restart firefox, [02:46] c01100011: right click on 'Applications' and choose 'Edit Menus' [02:46] that ain't information! [02:46] In gimp how do you move something that is selected? the move tool, only moves selections, this seems stupid. [02:47] c01100011: but one can always type Alt+F2 and run it there. [02:47] I didn't know the name, had to apt-cache search for it [02:47] c01100011: right click on 'Applications' and choose 'Edit Menus' [02:47] it isn't a big deal, just something i could see panicking my grandmother [02:47] Amaranth: he already knows, he's just offering advice. [02:47] Jangari: You are right.. that ain't right arent it [02:48] c01100011: maybe submit some spec. [02:48] yo peeps...

[02:48] lol [02:48] elm1 should be sudo gedit /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf all on one line [02:48] then there should be abit in the file which looks like the below [02:48] request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, time-offset, routers, [02:48] domain-name, host-name, [02:48] netbios-name-servers, netbios-scope; [02:48] domain-name-servers, [02:48] martin: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[02:48] firefox is crashing with flash [02:48] it is really making me mad [02:49] In gimp how do you move something that is selected? the move tool, only moves selections, does anyone know, http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/lists/gimp-developer/2006-October/016537.html [02:49] Krdc wont work [02:49] chrisn: that's because adobe makes a crappy flash player [02:49] Jangari: Of course not :) [02:49] Hi [02:49] good then, because i loves my grammar, innit [02:49] Amaranth: is there a workaround? [02:49] speaking of grandma, what is the cleanest backup and restore process. (hate to say it, but i am looking for a time machine) [02:49] chrisn: Don't use flash [02:49] does anyone wanna chat? [02:49] ye martin i c that, then? [02:49] chrisn: or, if you just want youtube and such, use gnash or swfdec [02:50] yago: Sure, go to #Ubuntu-offtopic [02:50] my biggest beef with Adobe Flash is how Flash always has to hide the HTML. [02:50] ok sorry! [02:50] sean, applications > internet > terminal server client [02:50] I am mounting a drive with this line in fstab /dev/hdb1 /media/Samba vfat rw,user 0 0 IF i want anyone to be able to read write what should it look like?

[02:50] cellofellow: that's partly because there ain't any html in a flash element [02:50] one sec [02:50] well, not much anyway [02:51] @find Bullet For My Valentine - Scream Aim Fire - videopimp.mpg [02:51] thanks Jangari i will give it a shot =) [02:51] just with the file open, where shud i add the 2 is u gave me? [02:51] mouseboyx: you might have to do something like 'layer via cut' [02:51] IT WORKED [02:51] Amaranth: Ok thanks [02:51] IT WORKED [02:51] thanks martin [02:51] chrisn: may I suggest you try tis option /msg ubotu flashissues for a way to get it going [02:51] Jangari: but in Windows, DHTML stuff can float above flash. In Linux, it just doesn't happen. Most annoying when a website has pull-down menus that end up behind the flash widget. [02:51] ok just ctrl x ctrl v [02:52] jj [02:52] You know... it seemed to get worse after ranting to a friend about how stable ubuntu was lol [02:52] great glad to see it worked :) [02:52] oh, i see what you mean, cellofellow, i thought you meant as in the bundled flash code blocks the user from (easily) seeing the code [02:52] :-D [02:52] thanks alot man [02:53] chrisn: find out what flash plugins you have installed, somehow, it can't be too bad, then uninstall them, remove them and purge them, then do "sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree" [02:53] hello [02:53] what is the command to run .deb files from the command line? THANKS! [02:54] aptitude [02:54] now onto my usb issues, i cant detect my external drive any thoughts? [02:54] hello! I'm trying to get a PHP develoment platform going on. I don't necessarily want to install a lamp server, as this is already an established machine... I only want to be able to see local PHP files as they should be rendered. I installed php5, but no luck. Any ideas? [02:54] how do I remove/delete compiz? [02:54] try another usb port, elm1 [02:54] kadam: I think XAMMP is something like that. [02:54] daurnimator: compiz --replace but ask in #Compiz for details [02:54] ok i just got the cd to work im on it now. i just have a few questions before i install it [02:55] i've tried everything and still nothing [02:55] cellofellow: I'll look, thanks 8) [02:55] it should at the very least recognise its existence, unless you have to configure the device on a windows machine, which would bite [02:55] even kubuntu installer from live cd doesn't see any partitions [02:55] good, CyanideD [02:55] but fdisk lists them [02:55] i burnt it wron with k3b [02:55] Cyr4x: Try the hirens cd or gparted cd.... [02:56] trying jangari [02:56] how do i edit my path environment variable? i want to add the path /usr/local/pgsql/bin and ive tried adding this line to both .bash_profile and /etc/profile - PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/pgsql/bin but when i do echo $PATH it doesn't show up in there anywhere...? [02:56] 7.10 when i install it will i lose all data [02:56] how is compiz started in ubuntu ? [02:56] yes, CyanideD [02:56] Jangari, that worked, but i had to disable secerity for it to work... any ideas? [02:56] if I upgrade to 7.10 will I have to re-setup my wireless drivers? [02:56] nope jangari no joy [02:56] What is the command to run a .deb file from the command line???? [02:56] disable security, sean? how do you mean? [02:56] ok, is 7.10 just like 6.06 when it comes to the command line? [02:56] chrisn: are you using ndiswrapper? [02:56] whoa, what are we talking about here? [02:57] CyanideD: actually, more stuff is changed in the underlying bits. [02:57] oh, vnc [02:57] CyanideD: Yes the installer formats the / root partition but can be told not to format the others [02:57] ok so it still uses sudo right [02:57] yes [02:58] if you were fine on 6.06, CyanideD, 7.10 should be easy [02:58] brooksbp: to install a deb::: dpkg -i filename.deb i believe [02:58] on the realVNC server on the W2k box, i can only connect to it if i disable authentication [02:58] sean, what did terminal server client do? [02:58] Jangari, ^^^^^^^^^^^^ [02:58] how do i edit my path environment variable? i want to add the path /usr/local/pgsql/bin and ive tried adding this line to both .bash_profile and /etc/profile - PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/pgsql/bin but when i do echo $PATH it doesn't show up in there anywhere...? [02:58] oh, i see [02:58] prince_jammys: tytyty [02:59] ok the main reason i wont to switch is to give that compiz-fusion a trh [02:59] hmm, you should't have to disable authentication, as long as you authenticate with terminal server client, sean [02:59] try [02:59] norty: the file needs to get sourced. Restart your terminal [02:59] norty: or maybe logout and log back in [02:59] what do you mean authenticate with terminal server client Jangari ? [02:59] CyanideD: Lots of fun.. what video card? [02:59] all of a sudden my root password is not being accepted [02:59] hello. how can i disable cron from logging to syslog? [02:59] TSC (terminal server client) asks you for a username, and hitting connect should prompt for a password [02:59] !root | krammer [02:59] nvida 6200 [02:59] krammer: 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 [03:00] elm1 try to run from a terminal lsusb before and after its plugged in to see if its detected [03:00] anyone else use TS on ubuntu [03:00] CyanideD: I run a 6600 you should not have an issue [03:00] that cant get thier damn mic to work [03:00] gparted doesn't see anything [03:00] Can someone help me on a driver issue [03:00] whole disk unallocated [03:00] !ask | carter [03:00] carter: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily).

If you cant do anything and you cant find a friend with a pc you may have to say goodbye to your data [03:03] node_6: COMMAND1 && COMMAND2 runs COMMAND2 if COMMAND1 completes successfully. Use ; if you don't care that it is successful [03:04] jrib: what does that have to do with my question? [03:04] Fatal error no screens found - error message after installing new graphics card on windows, help! [03:04] cellofellow: yes [03:04] node_6: make COMMAND1 your command and COMMAND2 your shutdown... [03:04] jrib: I know that. the trick is making the shutdown unattended [03:04] node_6: COMMAND1: run this command COMMAND2: shut down [03:04] Hi [03:04] node_6: the fact that he told you how to run a command and then another command, which might quite possibly be the shutdown command...? [03:05] I've just installed Ubunto on my laptop, But I thing I've done something grong [03:05] node_6: sudo sh -c "command ; halt" [03:05] okay guys. sudo halt will *not* work for me b/c it require a pw. if needed I can type in the pw before the first command is run but I do *not* want command 1 to be run as superuser [03:05] I have separated /boot (/dev/sda1) from / (/dev/sda3), and now grub fails [03:06] Can anybody help me? [03:06] node_6: err... i guess sudo sh -c "sudo -u username command ; halt" [03:06] hi fellows, how can i tell ubuntu not to open the usb keys when they're connected (and run something instead) [03:06] david-> what is the error? [03:06] Is it posible to have /boot in a separated partition from /? [03:06] node_6: you could edit sudoers and allow your user to use shutdown without a password [03:06] that was my sol'n, too. just wondered if there was a ubuntu-provided way that was simpler :/ [03:06] davidof: you probably need to update your grub.conf file [03:06] node_6: or set a cron or 'at' job [03:06] davidof: yes, many people do that [03:07] #connect gamesurge.net [03:07] gotta restart [03:07] amenado, prince_jammys grub failed when tried to install. At 94% of Ubuntu's installation [03:07] astro76: I did that, allowed users of group sudo to not have to enter their PW... Didn't work on my desktop, was flawless on my laptop... Strange, tis [03:07] thanks all. good nite to ya [03:08] Is it possible to repair that without having to do a new re-installation? [03:08] davidof-> gives you any error? how do you know it is grub that failed? [03:08] How do I edit the Places menu in ubuntu 7.10? [03:09] Has anyone installed the lastest NVIDIA drivers? Ubotu isn't much of a help with and old wiki page [03:09] Varanger: well, ubuntu doesn't *want* you to go and install the "latest" NVIDIA driver to begin with, it'd much rather have you use the ones from the repositories, which have the added benefit of not breaking on kernel updates and stuff. [03:10] amenado, yes. The Installation process failed at 94% (Don't remember the error message, but was Grub install failed...) [03:11] How do I edit the Places menu in ubuntu 7.10? [03:11] hi roomis [03:11] LjL: My PC came with Windows. It'd much rather have me use Windows and I installed Linux after all... [03:11] davidof-> it is preferable if you complete the install instead of attempting to kind of repair to complete, you dont know what it has not completed, later on you may start wondering what went wrong [03:11] any one know how to burner 7.10 Ubuntu ?? === ablyss_ is now known as ablyss [03:12] !burning | taz [03:12] taz: CD/DVD Burning software: K3b (KDE), gnomebaker, serpentine, graveman, Nautilus-CD-Burner, GToaster, xcdroast (GNOME), wodim (terminal-based). Burning .iso files: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto [03:12] Varanger, well, *our* suggestion (no, call it a strong recommendation) is to keep using the ubuntu-provided drivers. do you know for sure that you've got anything to gain from the "latest" drivers? from what i've heard, there's more added bugs than benefits. and in any case, if you do that, be prepared to have a text-mode only system every time there is a kernel update [03:12] amenado, I could not continue the installation :(. I see there is no menu.lst in grub directory (inside of /dev/sda1) [03:13] amenado, Is there any way to install grub from the beggining? [03:13] ok im looking for add/remove.and what called name of ""-------"?? [03:13] /join #ubuntu-offtopic [03:13] davidof-> is your /dev/sda1 your /boot partition? [03:13] I mean, I want grub to install every files (included menu.lst) [03:13] tax what? [03:14] taz what? [03:14] my flash is fixed now! [03:14] amenado, I have started ubuntu with Live CD now. And I've mounted /dev/sda1 on /mnt [03:14] holy crap! [03:14] How do I edit the Places menu in ubuntu 7.10? [03:14] taz: Adept? [03:15] !synaptic | taz [03:15] i found k3b .. so i will download [03:15] hey is there any way to have ubuntu icons automatically line up on the desktop to the right? [03:15] taz: synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto [03:15] davidof why not just re-install? if you have the know how to install grub and initramfs etc..then maybe you would not be asking here :) [03:16] ok [03:17] Hi Gome won't recognize which directory I'm in when I'm saving a file or untarring a package. Any advice please? Also it often deletes the filename from the saveas dialalogue when navigating directories. [03:17] How do I edit the Places menu in ubuntu 7.10?

[04:32] Talcite: that's just what I did too.. my problem was trying it for the first time after buying a Dell E521, which wasn't fully supported in the *nix world yet. [04:32] Talcite: So Gentoo is a distro not a language? [04:32] neopsyche: i'm not sure i can --- i'm reading the link and it seems there's more to it than just changing file permissions [04:32] iter: my laptop's a 5 year old 1st gen P4 with 512 mb ram.

[04:35] swuboo I haven't [04:35] RootyRootRootW00: give C a shot [04:35] additionally, I would argue that someone trying to "deciper a cron script" probably shouldn't be encouraged to ditch Ubuntu for gentoo ... [04:36] hello [04:36] Talcite: Thansk! [04:36] Here's a random question, I'm on Gutsy, I've got 8 avi's that I want to combine into one continous video. What's a good program? [04:36] RootyRootRootW00: bash isn't really programming, but that's pretty useful too [04:36] jpeterman: mencoder [04:36] lol C [04:36] RootyRootRootW00: definitely start with bash scripting [04:37] Talcite: Ah. Am still working thru bash and early cron (tonight). Next Mysql, then I guess C and Gentoo [04:37] cellofellow: is mencoder pretty gui-easy? [04:37] i have a problem on a acer aspire 9420 laptop, regarding integrated webcam, anyone can help me? [04:37] cellofellow: i'm kinda a nub [04:37] jpeterman: I have yet to find a decent Mencoder GUI for Windows. [04:37] jpeterman: I meant Linux. :? [04:37] hmm [04:37] RootyRootRootW00: do you have good docs? [04:37] do you happent o know of a gui-full program that can do it? [04:38] jpeterman: not really [04:38] prince_jammys: recommend some and I will check them out, I have scoured internets for good resources. [04:38] can someone help me with installing the drivers for nvidia [04:38] prince_jammys: I use google and learn as I go. Just NOW I got the Amarok backup script to run ---Finally--- I am full of win tonight [04:38] jpeterman: mencoder and other transcoding programs have so many options, it'd be really quite inpossible to make a fully-featured GUI. [04:39] RootyRootRootW00: for starting bash: rutebook abs-guide <--- both available thru apt .... ultra user friendly (beginner): http://linuxcommand.org [04:39] Also, sometimes my keyboard just hangs in boxes that need keyboard input sometimes in gnome. Any suggestions? [04:39] i installed GG from FF and am now having performance issues [04:39] jpeterman: there is a gui for mencoder called acidrip, but it's only for ripping DVD's to AVI. [04:39] can someone help? [04:39] RootyRootRootW00: general linux stuff, huge reference tutorial [04:39] hmm. thanks anyways, cellofellow. [04:39] RootyRootRootW00: I highly recommend rutebook. REAL REALLY recommend it. [04:39] Prince_Jammys: im not too familiar with how the permissions work [04:39] RootyRootRootW00: ^rutebook [04:39] yah linuxcommand.org is a nice resource [04:39] jpeterman: just a second, let me get the options you need. It's not that hard. :) [04:39] prince_jammys: Thanks for the tips, I will use them for sure, rutbook? Am looking it up [04:40] prince_jammys, Yo got it working. Took a reboot or two but it's working thanks for the tip [04:40] RootyRootRootW00: the first two packages come in both pdf and html, files are stored in /usr/share/doc [04:40] hey guys [04:40] fingaz: good [04:40] Im in need of some help can anyone assist me? [04:40] neopsyche open a terminal [04:40] hello. [04:41] prince_jammys, now I can have my music and video's again :) [04:41] If I want to install windows xp and ubuntu on one drive I have to make partitions right? [04:41] right [04:41] neopsyche : cd /var/www/relevant_folder === etho is now known as |twiser| [04:41] ComradeMirror`: yes [04:41] With the ubuntu live cd can I create partitions? [04:41] jpeterman: mencoder -oac copy -ovc copy -idx -o outfile.avi infileA.avi infileB.avi [04:41] ComradeMirror`: yss [04:41] or do I have to make them before hand [04:41] is what I wanted to ask [04:42] when I ssh into my box, it takes ~30 seconds or it to log me in... I put UseDNS no in my sshd_config.. but that doesn't speed things up.. ideas? [04:42] jpeterman: that work for you? [04:42] RootyRootRootW00: apt-get:::: mysql-5.0-doc perl-doc php-doc (perl-doc a gem) doc it up [04:42] Will the Live CD allow me to create a partition of the drive or will I have to do that before installing? [04:42] prince_jammys: and here was me with synaptic! [04:42] ComradeMirror`: boot into the livecd and run gparted to repartition [04:42] ComradeMirror`: yes [04:43] it won't mess with my windows partitionn though right? [04:43] whats the commands to install java [04:43] <|twiser|> it allos you ComradeMirror` [04:43] okay thanks [04:43] I'd like to create a bootable floppy. When I use sudo gurb-install /dev/fd0 I get an error saying /dev/fd0 does not have any corresponding BIOS drive. How can I fix that. [04:43] ComradeMirror`: generally speaking, no but repartitioning always carries some risk [04:43] RootyRootRootW00: all html browsable, pdf printable, all stored /usr/share/doc/blahblah find them after install and load into web browser [04:43] hmmm [04:43] cellofellow, i haven't used it yet, i'm still converting from flv to avi. thanks though! :) [04:43] iter what is the worst case? [04:43] you lose stuff not backed up [04:43] CyanideD: sudo aptitude install sun-java6-jre [04:43] hmmm [04:44] neopsyche: i'll be right back [04:44] jpeterman: you could do all of that in one command. [04:44] I'm willing to take the risk [04:44] CyanideD: thatll get you the java runtime so you can run programs. if you mean to write them get -jdk too [04:44] yeah usually it's cool [04:44] I recently formatted anyways [04:44] <|twiser|> i used acronis disc manager [04:44] jpeterman: which codec are you using for the AVI's? xvid? [04:44] I've used gparted dozens of times w/no prob [04:44] it will obviously partition the free space right [04:44] even if the free space is part of the current partition [04:44] Im sorry I don't really do this often [04:44] cellofellow, that's a good question. i'm not sure, i downloaded flv's from youtube and im converting them into avi with whatever codec www.zamzar.com uses [04:45] not sure if they even use divx/xvid [04:45] you can shrink the current partition, create a new partition, and install to that partition [04:45] with the live disk? [04:45] or just before hand [04:45] yes with the livecd [04:45] okay then cool [04:45] however.. this will overwrite your mbr [04:45] prince_jammys: installling [04:45] mbr? [04:45] so know how to fix that should you want the windows mbr back [04:45] mbr? [04:46] (basically, boot to windows recovery mode from cd and issue fixmbr) [04:46] hi, getting odd messages in dmesg: [531963.792504] printk: 1 messages suppressed. | [531963.792512] MD5 Hash NOT expected but found (71.10.xxx.xx, 1283)->(192.168.0.2, 8990) .. any ideas? [04:46] jpeterman: try this script: http://cellofellow.homelinux.net/flv2asp [04:46] iter is it hard? [04:46] prince_jammys: Can you tell me why this shell script defaults to my home directory and not to tthe external drive I'm wanting it to point at? [04:46] its just a normal windows install cd right? [04:46] hmm im sorry cellofellow i don't understand it. :/ [04:46] jpeterman: converts flv to avi MPEG4 ASP with two codec choices: ffmpeg or xvid. [04:46] yes [04:46] oh [04:47] and I would boot up this way how? [04:47] jpeterman: download it and put it in ~/bin/ [04:47] not hard, boot from normal windows install cd to recovery console [04:47] then run 'fixmbr' (if we are talking about XP) [04:47] so what does this fixmbr do? [04:47] ok [04:47] replaces the MBR you replaced with the default windows mbr [04:48] jpeterman: also run chmod +x bin/flv2asp [04:48] okay sorry for asking what does MBR do? [04:48] does it affect linux if I replace the MBR? [04:48] mbr is a pointer to the boot partition on the hard drive [04:48] prince_jammeys: ok [04:48] ohh [04:48] done [04:48] well.. think of it that way at least [04:48] it's a little more complicated but that's the gist [04:49] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mbr [04:49] jpeterman: the command syntax for flv2asp is `flv2asp -[xvid|ffpeg] infile.flv` [04:49] jpeterman: produces infile.avi [04:50] prince_jammys: I installed rutebook. Am opening it now [04:50] it doesn't affect linux though when I do the mbr thing yes? [04:50] cellofellow, and just follow yourprevious command to put multiple videos into infile.avi? [04:50] yes of course it will [04:50] what would it do? [04:50] when you install ubuntu to your 2nd partition, you are going to install a boot manger, probably GRUB [04:50] jpeterman: yes [04:50] please message em [04:50] into the MBR [04:50] me [04:50] jpeterman: you need mencoder to get both of these to work. :) [04:50] which will allow you to boot to either windows or ubuntu [04:50] anyone [04:50] ping [04:50] i got it from the repositories [04:51] now if you delete ubuntu and want to go back to your original setup you should replace the mbr [04:51] with the windows one [04:51] what is ubuntu [04:51] ah [04:51] shut up iter [04:51] jpeterman: and LAME MP3 codec and XviD MPEG4 codec. === SasukeUchiha is now known as Glazseesi [04:51] I can't switch between them? [04:51] ubotu: hello [04:51] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [04:51] sorry?

It is the intro/ref manual I've been looking for. Thanks /me reads up on ip ... [04:51] what is ubuntu [04:51] so if I want ubuntu gone I delete it then replace the mbr [04:51] hello [04:51] exactly [04:51] neopsyche: what do u mean? [04:52] does anyone know where to obtain the libcamel source? I don't even know where the development happens [04:52] okay then [04:52] I'll be sure to save this convo [04:52] you've been a big help [04:52] jpeterman: I know that the command line isn't what you wanted. But video encoding works so much better with the command line. [04:52] np :) [04:52] thansk rootyrootrootWOO: just testing autocomplete script [04:52] neopsyche: please clarify your question [04:52] i know, it just takes some patience for me to figure out. thanks for helping me out [04:52] neopsyche: lol [04:52] jpeterman: use this command to join FLV files: mencoder -ovc copy -oac copy -of lavf -idx -o c.flv a.flv b.flv [04:53] hey guys i hosed my services [04:53] jpeterman: almost the same as the AVI one, but the -of lavf stuff makes it so it uses the FLV instead of AVI format. [04:53] Heyo- my processor isn't scaling at the moment- I've got the governor set to performance and have the processors loaded, but it's still clocked all the way down [04:53] ok [04:53] i can;t get back in to my system is there a how to for this to get back to default [04:53] hi [04:53] jpeterman: Mencoder doesn't complain about puting FLV encoded video in an AVI file, but most players hate it when you do that.

[05:14] I have OSS and it made it so sound is audible but I am at a loss when it comes to changing volume [05:14] Warrorforgod [05:14] amicrawle, with a few other number..but the first part is the important thing [05:14] The deal is that the volume control has a red circle and an X [05:14] rkj: got it... ok does that exact command work when you issue it from the shell ? [05:15] neo can you pm me kind of hard to see all of this [05:15] mkquist: System> Preferences > Sessions > start-up programs > Add... >browse for the .url file [05:15] I can change volume from ossxmix, but I would like a way to set my shortcuts to change the volume [05:15] (for my media keys) [05:15] Alangara: nice [05:15] Sorry, i probably should have given a better description of my problem up front [05:16] anybody know of any nice pidgin smiley themes? [05:16] iter yup [05:16] mkquist: "/home/drake/webpage.url" would be what it shows if you placed it in the document folder [05:16] rkj: what are the permissions of the destination directory [05:16] hey hey hey, my windows works!!!

[05:18] Soylent, For changing the volume with OSS, I think that is the OSS mixer [05:18] Right [05:18] rkj: ls -l /home/rkj/mp3/Radio [05:18] but do you know how I can get my media keys to change the volume? [05:18] amicrawle, once you are root the run the ls -l /dev/null command and check to see if permission are setup correctly [05:19] since the normal volume control isn't working [05:19] is there a service i can run on ubuntu to support PXE? i want to install linux on that computer where i just fixed. i think my cdrom is bad, so i want to try a network install on my own intranet. [05:19] amicrawle, if not then chmod them [05:19] iter according to nautilus - the paernt directory has permissions of "owner can create and delete files, others can access files" [05:19] gold44: PXE boot is supported/not bupported by the BIOS [05:19] how did his /dev/null end up with the wrong permissions/owner? [05:20] rkj: try setting them to 777 (everyone can do everything) [05:20] that means you don't own nothin [05:20] Soylent, http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/OSS may be helpfull [05:20] !ubotu help [05:20] I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot.

Can you help me understand it though? Who owns the process that executes the crontab? [05:23] speaker219 did you check to see if it was in the man page? [05:23] dave, no, i'm a noob, and didn't rtfm [05:24] speaker219: you want to find the file eggdrop that you have installed? [05:24] tried su and sudo -s will not let me log past it [05:24] prince_jammys, i want to find the eggdrop directory that has eggdrop.conf in it etc [05:25] I checked the man page, not there [05:25] speaker219: try locate eggdrop [05:25] tried su and sudo -s will not let me log past it [05:25] ubuntu uses GNOME desktop doesnt it? [05:26] howdy. I just upgraded my thinkpad to gutsy from feisty and now X locks up periodically (uses 100% cpu, kill -9 has no effect on it). this is with an ati r300 using the open source driver; using or not using compiz seems to not affect it [05:26] how do i install flash drivers [05:26] anybody seen this or got ideas on what to try? [05:26] Alangara: that's the default, you can install others [05:26] rkj: each user has a crontab, whose script run as that user [05:26] prince_jammys, returned nothing [05:26] !flash | cyanideD [05:26] cyanideD: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (for !Dapper and !Edgy, a recent version is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [05:26] speaker219: find /usr -type d -name '*eggdrop*' [05:26] iter also, if I set the MAILTO="..." in the crontab file and set "..." to be my actual (e.g., verizon) email address, will error messages get sent there? I would guess that these commands were generating error messages that just went into a bit bucket. [05:26] prince_jammys, probably have to upddb [05:26] ok,thanks [05:26] !flash [05:26] arg my net died again, can i please have that link again jordan? [05:26] evening everyone [05:27] does anyone know if there has been any announcement of system requirements for 8.04 other than the alternative install being for systems with under 320Mb RAM?

[05:27] Soylent, http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/OSS [05:27] Ok CyanideD? [05:27] I would like to create a Gutsy installation CD from my current system, including programs, plugins, driver configuration etc. Has anyone used this method? http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu-linux-mint-livecd-with-remastersys [05:27] speaker219: find /usr -name '*eggdrop*' [05:27] thanks, should i get the OSS binary from the link inside there? or keep the one I already installed? (new to linux, don't understand a darned thing) [05:28] rkj: my guess would be environment variables [05:28] thanks prince_jammys, sorry, i don't use linux too often except for an irc server that i have :p [05:28] amicrawle, so when you were working with services you messeup up your /dev/null device? [05:28] iter I mean, if it's running as me, and the permissions give write access to me? [05:28] CyanideD, did you see what I typed and what ubotu said about the flash plugin? [05:28] oh yeah, other question: since upgrading to gutsy i'm getting an error on boot [05:28] am I right in saying that anything in /etc/cron.hourly should run every hour on the hour? [05:28] where it says /dev/sda1 is busy and can't be mounted [05:29] iter well anyway, I set the permissions and we will see what happens. thanks for your help. [05:29] speaker219: and find /usr -name 'eggdrop*' (no * at the beginning) and if all else fails, the somewhat timeconsuming sudo find / -name '*eggdrop*' [05:29] and it puts me in single user mode [05:29] is this an evms bug?

[05:30] speaker219: the time you got an error is because "find" is missing at the beginning of the command, so -type d is ok (finds directories only) [05:30] SuyyBot-6889: english please [05:30] anyone know anything about .Xauthority and MIT-MAGIC-COOKIES?

Let me find it [06:34] thank you [06:34] hahah [06:34] VanGuard: confused about what they do? [06:34] !kde | vanguard [06:35] VanGuard: what do you need to be explained, the are both Xwindow programs. [06:35] !gnome | vanguard [06:35] just wondering what the differnces are [06:35] VanGuard, http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/kdegnome [06:35] VanGuard: sounds like a job for Google? [06:35] thank you natlinexnewb [06:36] VanGuard, no prob :) [06:36] VanGuard, Might not be the best but it helped me. [06:36] oh god [06:36] vanguard: 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. [06:36] vanguard: gnome is a project that provides two things: The GNOME desktop environment, an intuitive and attractive desktop for end-users, users, and the GNOME development platform, an extensive framework for building applications that integrate into the rest of the desktop. [06:36] by some sort of magic [06:36] of me smashing my computer with my foot [06:36] I am able to edit the partition [06:36] Yikes ubotu is lagging. [06:36] pawan:what is wrong [06:36] pawan:u computer did not boot [06:36] ?? [06:36] no [06:36] ubuntu is not booting [06:37] windows is booting [06:37] VanGuard: both are desktop environments that sit on top of everything else in the system, so you can actually install either one. they are not tied to the system so you can uninstall one and replace with another ... differences are : appearance (different looking buttons/menus and so on) and features (they way you set up things, and what's available in the default programs) [06:37] Does anyone know where Pidgin saves its chatlogs? [06:37] is it possible to keep track of a variable in a script? (trying to make a simple volume control script for OSS to be triggered by a shortcut mapper) so far I have /usr/bin/ossmix vmix0-vol $1 [06:38] ... [06:38] ok ty [06:38] but i would like $1 to be an offset of a variable the script keeps track of [06:38] Soylent: what kind of script? [06:38] pawan:do u know grub for dos,u can use it to boot ubuntu [06:39] no [06:39] im not sure, I have no experience with linux and i am just modifying this one... it starts with... #!/bin/sh [06:39] i have 7.10 [06:39] no [06:39] does that tell you what type of script it is? [06:39] ? [06:39] try google it [06:39] currently i booted from 6.06 livecd [06:39] how long should repartitioning take? [06:39] Comrade, depends on your drive size. [06:39] Does anyone here think they can help me get gnome-do running? I had it installed, but then I uninstalled it and tried to compile from source, which didn't work, but now whenever I try to install and run it, it fails with an error about gtk-sharp. Also, I still can't compile it. Any ideas? [06:39] VanGuard: you can have both installed in your box and that's ok. Each comes with it's own set of preferred apps, but theyre not mandatory.. Example: gedit is the default gnome text editor, kate is the kde text editor ,,,,, but if you want, you can run kate in gnome, its just that kde apps work optimally in KDE and the same goes for gnome.. [06:39] Soylent: ok, try the #bash channel, that is a bash script. [06:39] programs take longer to start some starts very quickly [06:39] alrighty thanks [06:40] is it on the same irc network? [06:40] Soylent, yes. [06:40] great thanks :D [06:40] cya [06:40] Soylent: yes [06:40] what?u said u windows can boot [06:40] ...

What would be the procedure? [07:01] My video freezes up after a few minutes of playing, happened ever since gutsy upgrade, I re-installed but still freezes any ideas how to fix it? [07:01] can someone tell me how to fix it so that when I login as root I keep the same setttings and preferences as my other login [07:01] Filled-Void, http://kubuntu.com/ link near the top of the page [07:02] Rael-, Do not log in as root. Period [07:02] performence is very good except for programs taking longer to start [07:03] Rael-: i think you would have to set up root account just like ur user accouont to do that === sourcode_ is now known as sourcode [07:03] programs like vlc player takes one second to start [07:03] how do I perform commands in windows as root? I know how to do it in the shell but not within the gui [07:03] Rael-: but like jordan has pointed out, u should not be running as root, except for maintenance anyway [07:03] starked: perhaps ./autoconfig or something....looks for something that starts with auto in the root of the source package. [07:03] How can I restart/reset a comm port? Every couple of weeks my external modem appears to be busy to Ubuntu. Even when I disconnect the modem, kppp tells me it is busy, so it seems to be a software issue? [07:04] but other takes longer to start i.e. firefox,terminal ec [07:04] <_nando> neo: you must edit /etc/hosts [07:04] Rael-: gksudo then whatever gui u want like nautilus. Is that what u want? [07:04] Im sorry jordan I think Im dense but I did the InstallingKDE wiki and thats how I got 3.5 on my system but it doesnt mention how to move to 4.0 if I wanted to :x. I think Im looking at the wrong place. COuld you point me to the actual link.

Any ideas? === PaTeeLA is now known as mkquist [07:07] hmm [07:08] I think the guy thats helping me walked away for some smokes because my lack of knowledge frustrated him xD [07:08] clonezilla looks interesting. [07:08] how would i do this on link http://www.labnol.org/software/browsers/speed-up-firefox-run-fast/2065/ [07:08] it is already there [07:08] linux* [07:08] Comm what was your problem again? [07:08] Im doing partitions right now [07:08] for linux [07:08] what is a swap partition [07:09] <_nando> so put in the first line 127.0.0.1 localhost your-computer-name [07:09] It's virtual memory space, ComradeMirror`. [07:09] ah [07:09] ComradeMirror`: kinda like windows page file or whatever [07:09] what is the command ... to open 2 vim windows side by side.... [07:09] what is a good amount? [07:09] * RedHeron 10gb of swap, has used up to 4gb of that. [07:09] I'm trying to be as root while in the window messing with files and folders..cause it won't let me make links to the files [07:09] hey all [07:09] ComradeMirror`: between 1-2 gigs [07:09] i have ubuntu installed on my HDD [07:09] * RedHeron *has* 10gb of swap, rather. [07:09] eep [07:09] <_nando> neo: i dont know if this will work for you because I had this problem on feisty fawn, in gutsy this problem is supposed to be fixed [07:09] <_nando> neo: but try [07:09] Im trying to set up linux on maximum 10gbs [07:09] im plannin to install debian using hd-install [07:10] RedHeron: you have 10 gigs swap? [07:10] just want to try it out [07:10] how shld i edit the GRUB for that? [07:10] Rael-: u can sudo nautilus if you would like, or gksudo nautilus [07:10] how would i do this on ubuntu http://www.labnol.org/software/browsers/speed-up-firefox-run-fast/2065/ [07:10] so what would be a good amount fitting everything in 10gbs [07:10] ph0rensic: Yes. [07:10] some someone said i should have 4 partitions or something [07:10] RedHeron: wow how big is your HDD [07:10] ComradeMirror`: Probably 1gb would suffice. [07:10] 1.for my windows 2.linux 3.swap 4./home [07:10] ph0rensic: 120Gb [07:10] * kuchcha waits for attention [07:10] ComradeMirror`: 2 for linux 1 for windows.. what would the 4th be? ghost drive partition??? [07:10] ComradeMirror`: If you want to fit the whole install in 10G I'd go for 9G / and 1G swap, only 2 partitions [07:10] hohoho..without your help, i fixed mine...hehehe.. [07:11] RedHeron: Why so much space for swap? [07:11] like 127.0.0.1 localhost unknown (unknown my computer name) [07:11] ph0rensic: A /home partition on its own partition allows replacing the OS without losing much. [07:11] compiz --replace Checking for Xgl: present. Checking for nVidia: not present. Checking for Xgl: present. Enabling Xgl with fglrx ATi drivers... Starting emerald inotify_add_watch: No such file or directory [07:11] in english [07:11] <_nando> neo: yes [07:11] ph0rensic: And my reason for so much is that I'm a resource hog. [07:11] how would that benefit me [07:12] anyone know that dam error [07:12] RedHeron: haah oh i see.. yah i suppose that would work [07:12] _nando should i restart now? [07:12] and how big would me /home be to benefit me? === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [07:12] comrademirror..your home directory on a different partition would benefit by making it so where if you accidentally "wipe" your main partition..all of your stuff isnt totally gone for your user account. [07:12] ComradeMirror`: thats not alot of space, youll likely run out installing programs... If you trying to fit windows and linux on one 10gig drive, if thats what you mean [07:12] ComradeMirror`: 1gb would allow you essentially 1gb of RAM, though it's slower on a HDD than it is in actual RAM. [07:12] trance_techau: there isn't anything particularly bad there [07:12] when starting compiz, emerald is crashing [07:12] mkquist [07:12] Im jsut trying to fit linux on 10gb [07:12] trance_techau: how do you know it's crashing? [07:12] except emerald won't full load [07:13] it just hangs [07:13] I have a raid0 array (2 X 750) and a 74GB Raptor. I am trying to install ubuntu onto the Raptor. The installation goes just fine; however, when I restart, GRUB gives me an error 25: disk read error. [07:13] ComradeMirror`: oh then just a 1gid swap, rest for linux [07:13] <_nando> neo: first try to start the app again... if the problem stills maybe its a good idea to restart [07:13] :) [07:13] trance_techau: is the Window Decoration plugin enabled? [07:13] without it load i dont have any menu's. exit minimise etc [07:13] ComradeMirror`: 1gb /home should suffice. [07:13] thanks. I tried that but it did not solve the problem...I'm trying to make a link on the desktop to the windows drive that I mounted. it will let me make links to the other foders but not that [07:13] ComradeMirror`: I wouldn't split root and home if you're trying to do a small install, you'll just end up with one or the other being too small, while you still have space on the other.. [07:13] okay [07:13] ComradeMirror`: u can put ur home on another part to save if u need to reinstall i guess [07:13] so 8gbs linux 1 swap 1 home [07:13] 4gb Linux, 4gb Windows [07:13] redheron [07:14] the whole drive is 60 [07:14] Im using 10 for linux [07:14] ComradeMirror`: Ah, that makes a difference. [07:14] yeah [07:14] Im poor xd cannot afford big drives [07:14] though I have 2 60gbs [07:14] I have 14 open on my other drive [07:14] I might beable to use [07:14] i think its ok thnks vry vry much i was actually thinking to reinstall the system [07:14] 1 drive Lin, 1 drive Wintendo? [07:14] ComradeMirror`: id just use a 1 gig swap and the rest for linux, keeps it simple (its not the size of ur drives, its how u use em anyway =p) [07:14] so I have 16-20gbs at my disposal [07:15] Comrade, hey thats not bad i only have 60 gigs total from two drives :P [07:15] ah [07:15] ComradeMirror`: 9G root, 1G swap.. forget splitting off home, you can easily backup and restore home to the windows partition with ntfs-3g or ext2 drivers in windows if you need to reinstall [07:15] RedHeron: Have you tried clonezilla or bacula?? [07:15] thnks nando [07:15] credible - in where? compiz manager [07:15] zcat[1]: Most people *don't* back up, is the issue. [07:15] okay [07:15] so no home? [07:15] <_nando> neo: :) [07:15] Making a separate /home partition makes better sense. [07:15] ComradeMirror`: agree w/ zcat[1] myself... no home is made on ur linux drive automatically [07:16] g'evening [07:16] i just installed ubuntu (coming from freebsd...har har i know) [07:16] RedHeron: for keeping home, copy to windows.. for 'backing up' -- something on the same drive is NOT a backup! [07:16] ComradeMirror`: What do you plan to use Linux for? [07:16] and i tried to boot [07:16] school work and media [07:16] then it freezes at "Setting system clock" [07:16] ComradeMirror`: linux will creat a home for u if u dont mount it somewhere else [07:16] Windows for gaming [07:16] and such [07:16] any ideas? [07:16] mount it somewhere else? [07:17] zcat[1]: But having a separate /home partition if you fubar Linux = much, much lower chances of losing data. [07:17] Lost is a shitty show. Its season 6 and theyre still on a fucking island.. I think a better story would be, they live in the jungle for like 2 seasons, and during that time they turn into savage killers from living like guerillas in the jungle.. So then they finally get rescued, but when they go back to civilized life theyre all traumatized from life in the jungle and having to eat eachothers guts. And now, they cannot cope with so [07:17] * ComradeMirror` flails arms [07:17] good to know. [07:17] its only season 4 [07:17] Hmmm [07:17] fx__: not, like off-topic or anything... =\ [07:17] but yes or no? [07:17] can I use my home on a different drive then linux [07:17] ComradeMirror`: Yes. [07:17] ComradeMirror`: yes [07:17] RedHeron: I wouldn't think so.. how are you going to foobar linux? rm -rf? /home is gone anyhow... [07:17] okay then [07:17] * spaz screams at his hard disk [07:17] another problem >>>>>>> while plugging in the pin of my headphones in to system the pc speaker doesnot mute and sound comes frm both speakers and headphones [07:17] !ot | fx__ [07:17] fx__: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [07:18] sorry all [07:18] zcat[1]: I've done it just with software installs. [07:18] x_x [07:18] spaz: whats up? [07:18] fx__: That has what, exactly, to do with Ubuntu? [07:18] so Im going to be doing 8gbs for my linx 1 for swap 1 /home [07:18] ComradeMirror`: That makes sense. [07:18] swap and home can be on seperate drive then linux too yes? [07:18] mkquist, i go to boot ubuntu, then it freezes at "setting system clock" [07:18] I think I need to change the permissions on the /mnt/windows folder . but that option is greyed out [07:18] RedHeron: sorry i am in OT now [07:18] ComradeMirror`: Yes. [07:18] ComradeMirror`, Yes [07:18] okay then Im going to try this [07:18] ComradeMirror`: that would work fine if u wish [07:18] x.x [07:18] RedHeron: no matter how much you mess it up, you can still get the files off by booting into a rescue disk, or booting into windows and reading the partiton with ext2 drivers [07:18] mkquist, relatively early in the boot process [07:18] would a home of 1gb really help me? [07:18] * spaz hugs ComradeMirror` [07:18] spaz: tried hitting escape? [07:18] I'd have to know how to use home wouldn't i? [07:19] zcat[1]: I didn't have any way to recover the partition. [07:19] I'll come back later to learn that if I don't figure out how [07:19] mkquist, the keyboard locks up... [07:19] so that didn't really help :p [07:19] zcat[1]: As in: the /home partition saved my butt. [07:19] spaz: ewww,,, bootlive cd and check the logs.. [07:19] spaz: see what its 'thinking' [07:19] hello [07:19] ComradeMirror`: /home is where the user accounts are located... it's where YOUR files are stored. [07:19] ComradeMirror`, /home is where your documents / settings are most likely to be stored, if 1 GIG is enough for your documents then it's fine, if not ... :) [07:19] mkquist, i turned off the bootsplash and quiet optoins [07:19] ah [07:19] live CD does it fine [07:19] okay then [07:19] I understand now [07:19] Lieuwe: hello 2 u [07:20] what would be stored on my linux drive then? [07:20] hello [07:20] hi pastie! [07:20] * RedHeron has 60GB on the /home partition and runs out of space due to work requirements. [07:20] ComradeMirror`: Linux [07:20] spaz: livd cd/check logs on system... [07:20] isn't linux only 4gbs? [07:20] this lol server [07:20] mkquist, ok [07:20] ugh lag [07:20] ComradeMirror`: It allows you to install software you need, such as instant messengers, Skype, etc. [07:20] >A>A>A>>A>A>A>A>A [07:20] ah [07:20] can someone tell me how to allow permission to access a folder to my main user [07:21] another problem >>>>>>> while plugging in the pin of my headphones in to system the pc speaker doesnot mute and sound comes frm both speakers and headphones [07:21] I might make my home bigger then [07:21] ComradeMirror`: RedHeron is not wrong on this, but up to you... [07:21] 2gbs of god [07:21] oh* [07:21] 123456789 [07:21] pastie [07:21] hmm I might make my linux 6 then [07:21] ComradeMirror`: That's the point: this is a decision only you can make. [07:21] 10111213141516171819 [07:21] gaa [07:21] ComradeMirror`, "linux" is only a kernel, how much your space your Ubuntu install is going to require depends on what applications you install [07:21] yes Im thinking [07:21] how much space would it take [07:21] 20212223242526272829 [07:21] ComradeMirror`, It can be 50 meg or less TOTAL if you really need it to be [07:21] jordan: Thanks, that was what I was trying to say. [07:21] :) [07:21] to get extremely large amounts of eye candy [07:21] [07:21] [07:21] [07:21] [07:21] [07:21] [07:21] [07:21] Lieuwe: please behave [07:21] ComradeMirror`: work/school, back it up.. like cd/dvd... =) [07:22] [07:22] sorry folks pidgin keeps crashing .. ol trusty xchat though [07:22] Flooder troll! [07:22] [07:22] mkquist, not a single thing has been logged [07:22] ComradeMirror`, But with the default apps it's about 5 GIG [07:22] [07:22] !ops [07:22] Lieuwe: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[07:22] [07:22] pastie: hi! [07:22] i have a silly funny question [07:22] spaz: find that hard to believe... hmmm =\ [07:22] ... [07:22] ++++++ [07:22] mkquist, believe it or not [07:22] whee [07:22] spaz: are u checking the live cd log or ur installed os log? [07:22] @ubuntu-us-az [07:22] does compiz fusion work with ubuntu? [07:22] ComradeMirror`: Yes. [07:23] ComradeMirror`: Yes is comes with gutsy! [07:23] ah [07:23] mkquist, installed OS log, but live cd boots fine as i said [07:23] I have 7.10 .iso on the desktop. Can i install 7.10 right now over top of my 5.04? [07:23] it just doesn't like being installed i guess [07:23] ComradeMirror`, Yes, the basic features are installed by default [07:23] spaz: but ur are like cd'ing to media and looking at the right log? [07:23] natlinexnewb, You would need to burn the iso to a CD or some other media [07:23] mkquist, i'm picking all the logs, and most of them contain (nothing logged yet) [07:23] spaz: cause its gonna be a mounted disk ur looking at [07:23] :( [07:24] natural i assume, since it freezes before the FS is mounted [07:24] spaz: not the base system [07:24] when I used linux before it never seem this flashie xD http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4Fbk52Mk1w&e [07:24] but yeah I've used linux before just not with partitions like this [07:24] mkquist, ? explain [07:24] * spaz shouldn't be this confused lol [07:24] natlinexnewb, You should be able to upgrade 5.04 to 5.10 then 6.04 ... but it is no longer supported and there are no guarentees :) [07:24] lol [07:25] been a while since i've used linux...BSD brain contamination! [07:25] jordan, thanx :) [07:25] spaz: still find that hard to believe, cd / to root then check /media and look at ur hard drive(s) mounted there, if there is like hda or sda then cd to there and check the logs there [07:25] my own opinion, if you don't have 8G free for root and still a sensible amount free for home, it's better to just have both in the same partition.. that way one or the other won't be too small until you actually do run out of space.. [07:25] mkquist, that's what i'm doing [07:25] are those just plugins for the compiz fusion thing [07:25] i can access my ubuntu partition inside my current OS [07:25] err ubuntu disk [07:25] Would anyone here know why the command specified in Compiz Config --> General --> Commands won't run when I press its associated key? [07:25] is there a human readable thingy of my devices on this box? [07:25] and as i said mkquist, logs empty [07:26] spaz: u got me then, theres gotta be something logged, i mean its trying to start sooo... i'm thinking there has to be something in the log.. [07:26] ComradeMirror`: I'm not sure what you're meaning... are what? [07:26] and if you only have 4G in /home you can back that up on a single DVD if you ever need to reinstall [07:26] anyone can help spaz... he says theres nothing in logs on a system that wont fully boot when he checks w/live cd? [07:26] nvm [07:27] * RedHeron agrees with zcat[1] on that. [07:27] live CD doesnt touch the HD afaik [07:27] spaz: sry, i dont know if there is nothing... [07:27] spaz, Is your Ubuntu partition currently mounted? [07:27] spaz: Where are you looking for logs? [07:27] jordan: wont it mount w/live cd auto or not? [07:27] okay hows this sound instead 8gbs for linux 6 for home 2 for swap [07:27] RedHeron: i think hes looking in the wrong place, but he says not [07:27] mkquist, No, you need to mount internal drives explicitly [07:27] since I might be torrenting unlicensed cartoons xD [07:27] ComradeMirror`: Still only need 1 for swap. [07:27] okay then [07:28] 7 for home [07:28] ComradeMirror`: how about 30 for windows, 30 for Linux... [07:28] RedHeron, in /var/log of course [07:28] ComradeMirror`: Sounds good. :-) [07:28] jordan: ty, then thats the prob... spaz gotta mount the drive.. check w/jordan [07:28] okay then [07:28] i'm a un*x veteran...but this has me stumped heh [07:28] apparently [07:28] I should have defragged my drives [07:28] before editing my partitions [07:28] x.x [07:28] spaz: Are the logs being written to somewhere else? [07:28] mkquist, i did mount the drive :P [07:28] ComradeMirror`: it really all depends what ur putting on it. Like windows u install a lot ull prob run short... w/10gigs [07:29] is there a human readable text file or "easy" list of my devices on this box? I'm looking at Device manager at the mo and there are lots of strings. [07:29] RedHeron, i don't think so... [07:29] ComradeMirror`: That would help, yes. [07:29] shouldn't be [07:29] spaz: Could be, it's worth checking into. [07:29] mkquist my windows has 50gbs x.x [07:29] RedHeron, lemme look... [07:29] natlinexnewb: lspci [07:29] spaz: Also check to make sure permissions are correct for logging. [07:29] hmm...nobody in #freenode is helping me with my hostmask cloaking :/ [07:29] spaz, What is happening when you try to boot? [07:29] ComradeMirror`: well thats fine, but i mean ur linux part... [07:29] nickrud, in terminal? [07:29] I've resized a fair few Windows partitions and I've never defragged first... and I've never had one go bad either [07:29] ah [07:29] natlinexnewb: yes [07:30] you said my windows part might run short with 10 gigs [07:30] zcat[1]: I saw it happen to a few folks [07:30] ComradeMirror`: sry meant linux [07:30] * RedHeron has never had one go bad, but there is the possibility (remote one) that you could lose data. [07:30] the one time I resized an ntfs, it went bad. The machine was only a couple hours old, luckily [07:30] ah [07:30] i got my webserver up now how do i add stuff to it to make a website show up [07:30] question [07:30] jordan, it locks up when it goes to to "Configue system clock" [07:30] can I increase a partition [07:30] after I install linux [07:30] I advise people to backup always.. just in case.. [07:30] jay-oh-en: put your html in /var/www , use sudo [07:30] I have a raid0 array (2 X 750) and a 74GB Raptor. I am trying to install ubuntu onto the Raptor. The installation goes just fine; however, when I restart, GRUB gives me an error 25: disk read error. [07:30] say I free up more unaccolated space [07:30] ComradeMirror`: It's possible, but not recommended, in general. [07:31] ComradeMirror`: better to fix ur part size before install id think [07:31] okay then [07:31] nickrud, thanks === jordan is now known as Jordan_U [07:31] nickrud, thanx. perfect. [07:31] hmm... [07:31] I just let the installer resize it.. but whatever you feel safest with [07:32] i bet $10 there's some kernel option i can use to fix this [07:32] nickrud, how do i remove a dir full of stuff? [07:32] zcat[1]: any good backup software that clones the whole system? [07:32] something related to the system clock [07:32] nickrud, sudo rm -i? [07:32] jay-oh-en: to remove the directory and all it's contents, rm -r /path/todir [07:32] jay-oh-en: by using rm -rf VERY CAREFULLY [07:32] ComradeMirror`: Linux doesn't stop you from doing stupid things... like using a Windows partition. [07:32] erawfish, thanks [07:32] nickrud, thanks [07:32] and that means what? [07:33] ph0rensic: partimage is OKish .. can only restore to the same size partition though [07:33] jay-oh-en: I'd suggest -r, use f only if -r fails (and you know why) [07:33] nickrud, ok [07:33] rm is a scary command when run under sudo :( [07:33] zcat[1]: What about clonazilla ever used it? [07:33] AHA [07:33] nope [07:33] spaz: Yes? [07:33] thanks nickrud [07:33] should all my partitions be ext3? [07:33] i think it's a /sbin/hwclock bug [07:33] speeddemon8803: I destroyed a carefully built lfs that way once [07:33] jay-oh-en: rm -rf -- /path/to/dir [07:33] or it's doing something it shouldn't be doing [07:33] spaz: That's.... weird. [07:34] RedHeron, indeed it is [07:34] let's see [07:34] zcat[1], got my answer already [07:34] sudo rm -Rf / hmm not a good thing i guess [07:34] -- means any files with -- names won't be interpreted as more switches [07:34] ++++++ [07:34] another problem >>>>>>> while plugging in the pin of my headphones in to system the pc speaker doesnot mute and sound comes frm both speakers and headphones [07:34] ph0rensic: Nor is: cat /dev/zero > /dev/sda [07:34] nor is yes > /dev/hda [07:35] spaz, Out of curiosity try chrooting in and running 'date' [07:35] ext3 is the best "type" or format my partitions should be set too right [07:35] Jordan_U, good idea [07:35] Does anyone know of a good tool for cutting out precise clips from mp3s? [07:36] Onyx, Like Audacity or something more specialized? [07:36] i'll have to burn another livecd...freebsd can't chroot into linux stuffs :( [07:36] and i have the alternate iso [07:36] ah well, no pain no gain [07:36] !info mp3split [07:36] Package mp3split does not exist in gutsy [07:36] alternate CD you can alt-F2 and get a shell [07:36] !info mp3cut [07:36] Package mp3cut does not exist in gutsy [07:36] spaz: I think the alternate has a recovery option, drops you into a shell [07:36] d'oh! [07:37] spaz, Can it do it with the Linux emulation ( never tried it, and I am curious now ) ? [07:37] nickrud, o: it does [07:37] Jordan_U: Just looking for something that can cut things by like 100ths of seconds, if at all possible. It doesn't have to be ridiculously high tech at all. [07:37] good point [07:37] ComradeMirror`: yes [07:37] Jordan_U, no because it only emulates 2.4 right now [07:37] and i'd also have to mark the binaries in the install :( [07:37] Onyx: audacity? [07:38] well i shall bbs [07:38] i hope [07:38] zcat[1]: Jordan_U: I'll give audacity a shot (installing now) [07:38] what option do I put in to allow all users to access a mounted drive [07:38] I have 2 PCs. WinXp is my main one that I email from using Thunderbird. I want my Linux box to be able to email as well using the same account, but NOT remove the emails from the email server. How do I go about this? [07:38] hi [07:39] Hi [07:39] natlinexnewb: use IMAP on both machines if your mail provider supports it [07:39] Pop3 [07:39] atm [07:39] natlinexnewb: get imap :) [07:39] whats the differences? [07:39] * RedHeron wants a PHP script that pulls raw email through Gmail into a database. [07:39] is anyone running ubuntu D830? [07:39] Woops, wrong channel. [07:39] natlinexnewb: imap always leaves messages on the server, you can sync any client any time [07:39] okay guys Im trying this [07:39] How do I tell if I have framebuffer in console? [07:40] wish me luck [07:40] see if they support imap.. otherwise set both mail programs to leave mail on the server [07:40] so this is a thunderbird issue not a ubuntu? [07:40] ComradeMirror`: Good luck! === max is now known as max` [07:40] natlinexnewb: sort the mail into folders on the server, both clients see the sorting [07:40] pop3 you can just leave the mail there until you delete it, or for a few days, so that both mail programs get a chance to pick it up [07:40] i tried the kubuntu live cd but couldnt get sound or my network card working [07:40] How do I tell if I have framebuffer in console? [07:40] natlinexnewb: yes to thunderbird/pop3 [07:41] ah. thanx [07:41] but i heard that kubuntu isnt as polished as ubuntu [07:41] how can I restart the audio server in ubuntu [07:41] zcat[1], nickrud thanx [07:41] glick: wrong [07:41] geeze I gotta learn the controls of linux now [07:41] whats wrong prince_jammys ? [07:42] glick the kubuntu thing you heard [07:42] what players can i get to stream videos [07:42] CyanideD: vlc, mplayer [07:42] seems like ubtuntu gets the limelight prince_jammys [07:43] glick: kubuntu: plenty polished .. you might even say, we'll let's not [07:43] *well [07:43] So i hear windows is polished ...... [07:43] Anyone know how I can tell if I have framebuffer in consoles?! [07:43] glick indeed ubuntu is getting the limelight [07:43] should i install both? [07:43] glick sure [07:44] a polished turd haah ok sorry i need food im delerius [07:44] glick does no damage [07:44] glick: absolutely, ubuntu is better, prove it for yourself ;p [07:44] have you tried the kubuntu edition prince_jammys ? [07:44] glick see what you started? [07:45] kde is very good, I just love bad jokes. Don't mind me [07:45] glick i am on it as we speak [07:45] glick don't you forget that yakuake while youre at it [07:46] glick sudo apt-tra lala.... === mkquist is now known as PaTeeLA [07:46] what players can i get to stream videos [07:46] I have a dual monitor setup. One monitor is a HDTV the resolution is almost perfect, but I don't have any window borders. What would cause this? [07:46] wheee [07:46] irssi sucks in the rescue shell [07:46] :( [07:46] but ah well [07:46] i can do date apparently [07:47] even though it thinks it's around 3 hours than it actually is [07:47] *3 hours earlier [07:47] make that 5 hours... [07:48] spaz, Can you try removing the "splash" and possibly "quiet" kernel parameters when you boot to see if any useful info is being printed ? [07:49] another problem >>>>>>> while plugging in the pin of my headphones in to system the pc speaker doesnot mute and sound comes frm both speakers and headphones [07:49] Jordan_U: actually...that's what i did to discover what was freezing the system [07:50] what players can i get to stream videos [07:50] brb [07:51] :( [07:51] damn, speech recognition in ubuntu just isn't there... === ktogias is now known as ktogias-CTI [07:51] zcat[1]: That's because it's not really important to the base operation of Linux. [07:51] zcat[1]: same goes for all open source OS'es [07:52] <_coldfire_> hi! one short question: has anyone running Pinnacle pctv dual sat pro card (4000i) with ubuntu? [07:52] hell even commercial ones [07:52] it will be in the future [07:52] trying to figure out spynx2 .. what a nightmare.. [07:52] _coldfire_: No. [07:52] natlinexnewb: Oh? [07:52] bleh i hate having to type /redraw every 3 seconds [07:52] another problem >>>>>>> while plugging in the pin of my headphones in to system the pc speaker doesnot mute and sound comes frm both speakers and headphones [07:53] RedHeron, Yup. Speech recognition will be supported ... eventually :) [07:53] neo: Driver. === PaTeeLA is now known as mkquist [07:53] natlinexnewb: You konw something I don't, in that case. [07:53] RedHeron, say goodbye to your keyboard [07:53] natlinexnewb: That would be nice. [07:53] * RedHeron actually despises his keyboard due to repetitive stress syndrome.

[08:48] you might also have to define preferences for the new place [08:48] hiho, i wanna opengl via my ati on my gibbon kubuntu. but following the tutorials i found ... i get results like "not okay". ^^ pls help me find a tutorial or whatsoever [08:48] ph0rensic, im guessing. Had trouble with the drive before. If i can get installed I wont need to use the drive... catch 22 [08:48] in between Location... [08:48] after I get emerald how do I actually use it to get themes? [08:49] any1 can help me with my fuse problem? [08:49] go to art.gnome.org [08:49] natlinuxnewb: hmmm we should check into that error [08:49] ubuntu is great [08:49] ph0rensic, not surprising really...considering the CD drive is 6/7 years old ;). But i need it too work now. [08:50] ubuntu is all over the world [08:50] Mark Shuttleworth is my hero [08:50] Is there a way to completely remove a potentially corrupt installation of Wine? [08:51] pocketdrummer, yeah synaptic [08:51] pocketdrummer: the wine program itself is corrupt? or a windows program? [08:51] Hi people, is there any way to install python rahther than CGI in Apache? [08:51] pocketdrummer: or you just want to get rid of *everything* and start over? [08:51] natlinuxnewb: Hmm I dunno not seeing too many relevant hits on how [08:52] Flannel: Pretty much [08:52] nilou: python is a language CGI is an interface, you can run python through CGI i think... [08:52] pocketdrummer: in synaptic "completely remove" wine, then delete your .wine directory in your homedir [08:52] Q. why when I downloaded the 7.10 iso did it give me a disk full of .exe and windows files? Wheres the linux part of it? (I thought linux didnt use exe? [08:52] hey guys. i'm missing a file for software midi it's from the debian repos does anyone know what i'm talking about? [08:52] how do i change the permissions of a file? [08:53] jay-oh-en chmod [08:53] jay-oh-en, using gnome? [08:53] jay-oh-en, nvm [08:53] ubuntu iso is a bootable CD [08:53] natlinuxnewb: Have you considered forcing the drive open (I did this do a dvd drive that died on me a few days ago) [08:53] how do i change the permissions of a directory? i mean [08:53] same way [08:53] kay [08:53] jay-oh-en: on the cli just use chmod --help to find the right flag, look for recursive [08:53] rosebuntu: youre preaching to the choir [08:53] Agent_bob, if i wanted my user to be able to use it what would it be [08:53] -R [08:53] natlinuxnewb: There are some FOSS stuff that are windows programs as well, yes. That's the right one. They are *just* windows programs (meant to be a introduction to FOSS) [08:53] Flannel: I'm trying to help [dcr] get guild wars to work. He has a laptop with (we think) an intel GMA 950 graphics chip. He's running Gutsy and installed wine using a terminal method (we think). He's getting a video error when he tries to run the game, so we're trying to get to the bottom of the issue. [08:54] lyte: Yes you are right, i mean i want to install python in Apache not through CGI [08:54] ph0rensic, I have considered it. Was hoping theres a command that I can type in terminal [08:54] chmod 755 -R /dir <-- should look like that [08:54] macogw / it's my hobby and pleasure [08:54] natlinuxnewb: But you how can you install if you cant boot it? [08:54] ph0rensic, what about 1000 [08:54] jay-oh-en well let me cut to the hard part first. what is the fs in question ext# or ntfs/vfat ? [08:54] ph0rensic, exactly [08:54] pocketdrummer: Alright, well, `sudo apt-get remove --purge wine && rm -rf ~/.wine` and he'll be starting fresh. [08:55] jay-oh-en: I didn't follow the question.. what was it? [08:55] hi can anyone point me to the right documentation for a linux domain controller for linux workstations? [08:55] ph0rensic, I can read the drive but *that* time it didnt read it. [08:55] Agent_bob, what? [08:55] I think....getting a new drive will fix the problem. :\ [08:55] Flannel: So, just to make completely sure, it is exactly `sudo apt-get remove --purge wine && rm -rf ~/.wine` right? [08:55] natlinuxnewb: Well try till it will? [08:56] nilou: i think libapache2-mod-python is what you're looking for === killvador is now known as gautier [08:56] jay-oh-en M$ file systems dont have permissions bit. is it on vfat or ntfs ? [08:56] using nfs and having the workstations mount the correct nfs mounted home directory on login [08:56] pocketdrummer: right. The first completely removes wine (the package) the second bit removes your wine directory (where all your wine config/programs are) [08:56] mount -t /dev/cdrom [08:56] * natlinuxnewb pulls out his paper clip [08:56] cdrom drive will work === gautier is now known as gautiay [08:57] mount -t /dev/cdrom <<< type /dev/cdrom ??? [08:57] rosebuntu: I think it is mounted just not running? [08:57] anyone? [08:57] rose...you actually not being helpful. :) [08:57] rosebuntu: you could be right. [08:57] hi | can i get help with ps3 ubuntu here? [08:58] sorry [08:58] rosebuntu, sec. Ill try what you said [08:58] Agent_bob, i dont use ntfs or vfat i use ubuntu's filesystem [08:58] jay-oh-en ok then you want something like chmod 755 /path/to/dir [08:58] lyte: I alredy installed this module, but the problem is that in CGI the program is suppose to just print to the console and then the webserver is responsible for transfering the output to the client but ... [08:58] Agent_bob, it still says the owner is root [08:59] natlinuxnewb: rosebuntu was just trying to help.. dont get down on him just because the help wasn't what you wanted... atleast hes trying to help === gautiay is now known as gauti [08:59] i don't download program in linux why? [08:59] ph0rensic / thank you === gauti is now known as gauthier [08:59] ph0rensic, yeah i know. Thats why i tried what he said. Sorry rosebuntu: I know you were trying to help [08:59] i am a helpful person [08:59] Agent_bob, its permissions are still root [08:59] hi,guys,is there anyone here using ubuntu to share files with Nokia N73 via Bluetooth? [08:59] jay-oh-en then you want to own the dir not change the perms. sudo chown your_name:your_group /path/to/dir === mkquist is now known as PaTeeLA === co_kenter_fs is now known as co_capuucino [09:00] ok i get it [09:00] i don't download program in linux why? === PaTeeLA is now known as pati_ [09:00] just got to my...annoyance level. Been at this since 5 days ago [09:00] jay-oh-en that's not permission thats ownership different critters [09:00] anyone with ubuntu on playstation 3 ? [09:00] natlinuxnewb: sorry, just tyring to keep it friendly.. I wouldn't want someone to make me feel like a noob when Im only trying to help [09:00] Agent_bob, well it says permissions lol [09:00] lyte: what happenes is that when i write this program: "PRINT HELLO WORLD" it wont show up on the browser but when i return string containing exactly the same string with exception that it is returned by a function called index it works === pati_ is now known as mkquist [09:01] ph0rensic Thanx. I appreciate it. [09:01] jay-oh-en can't help what it says. i'll repost the command if you need it. [09:01] jay-oh-en then you want to own the dir not change the perms. sudo chown your_name:your_group /path/to/dir [09:01] natlinuxnewb: So what are we going to do with your disk [09:01] is anybody else except american? i'm korean [09:01] ph0rensic, The paper clips works [09:01] rosebuntu > thailand here [09:01] natlinuxnewb: paperclips??? [09:01] Agent_bob, well its not working it still says root should i use -r? [09:01] ph0rensic, just trying to see if itll install [09:02] jay-oh-en but! let me caution you. you don't want to go messing with ownership and permissions on system directories. [09:02] Agent_bob, its desktop [09:02] nilou: sorry have to go make dinner, but this is outside of my scope anyway, a channel about apache or python would probably be the right place to find out where the actual place you should be asking this question is though [09:02] ensou / yeh. thailand is good === lyte is now known as lyte|away [09:02] Agent_bob, its a file on my desktp [09:02] ph0rensic, yeah paperclips...force opening the CD drive. That little hole for for that purpose [09:02] jay-oh-en: What he is saying your system may not work if you chown the wrong system files [09:02] jay-oh-en how did you make that root owned in the first place.... never mind i think i know. [09:02] rosebuntu > thailand is good yeah and my connection sucks [09:03] !gksudo | jay-oh-en [09:03] jay-oh-en: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [09:03] hi [09:03] natlinuxnewb: oh hmm.. I like the brute force ++ knife technique myself [09:03] how to repair grub [09:03] hey on ubuntu can you navigate sort of with like mouse strokes [09:03] Korea is more worse [09:03] move your mouse top the top left and you can do stuff [09:03] or am I thinking of PC linux [09:03] !grub | pawan12 [09:03] pawan12: 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 [09:03] CM`: compiz can do some of that [09:03] So, if you install Wine from the http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt gutsy main repository on a 64-bit version of Ubuntu, does it install a 64-bit version of wine or a 32-bit version? [09:03] <-- been to thailand but not korea [09:03] CM`: you mean stuff like "expose" on a mac? [09:03] how do I use compiz x.x [09:04] I cant figure out how to customize my linux [09:04] it is driving me crazy [09:04] I can't even change the theme [09:04] Agent_bob, it was a file in my webserver and it was owned by root but then when i moved it to my desktop it was still owned by root [09:04] grub> find /boot/grub/stage1 [09:04] (hd1,6) [09:04] now [09:04] CM`: its pre-installed with ubuntu 7.10 (gutsy). lots of config options require you have compizconfig-settings-manager installed [09:04] ph0rensic > :) [09:04] so there's nobody here with a ps3 ...? [09:04] Frogzoo don't happen to know the debian .deb that expands software midi do you ? [09:04] pocketdrummer: wine does not & will not run on 64 bit [09:04] CM you have it installed? [09:04] here is what exactly i mean: http://pastebin.ca/904808 [09:05] Agent_bob: apt-cache search midi | less [09:05] Frogzoo: You sure? Cuz, that's how I installed it and it's running like a charm, lol. [09:05] CM`: customizing theme stuff... install emerald as well so you have transparent window borders for compiz, and you can drag n drop gtk themes from gnome-look.org into the tool in system -> preferences -> appearance [09:05] grub> root (hd1,6) [09:05] Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83 [09:05] Frogzoo it's not in the ubuntu repos so that's kinda useless [09:05] :( now its not doing anything at all. I've had enough for tonight. I'll see ....Sec... is there any way I can download an update directly? [09:05] I got emerald [09:05] CM`: Do you have CCSM installed? [09:05] I also got GTK themes [09:05] Agent_bob: ah [09:05] CM`: What version ubuntu do you have [09:05] Agent_bob, it still is saying root [09:05] 7.10 [09:05] gutsy? I think [09:05] I have a 64 bit Ubuntu 7.10 system. I am wanting to use some program that lets me do voice chat on yahoo's chat networks. I have looked at ghyach enhanded and it is all rpm and for i386 . anyone and I try yahelite and it works ,but not for the chat room log ins [09:05] CM`: Did you install the compiz settings manager? [09:06] Im gettin that right now i guess [09:06] !pastebin [09:06] 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) [09:06] I though it would come with it [09:06] I have apache2 and libapache2-mod-python install, but i seem to face a funny problem: http://pastebin.ca/904808 [09:06] Frogzoo i have it in my package cache if i can find the name of it. it got uninstalled somehow [09:06] anyone can help on that please? [09:06] CM`: Thats probably the big thing you are looking for.. also did you get emerald-themes? [09:06] tarelerulz, have you tried roger wilco or Ventrilo? [09:06] yeah [09:06] I got emerald themes [09:06] how do I load theme times too I went to gnome-look.com [09:07] and downloaded files they were in tar.gz format [09:07] inside them there is no theme file [09:07] natlinuxnewb , I have not try either of those ? what are they ? [09:07] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56042/ [09:07] Frogzoo but i have thousands of file in my package cache, so i don't know a good way to search for it. [09:07] Hi there I want to copy a cd but the only space big enough I have is on an external drive /media/disk can someone tell me how to do this. Right click > copy disk comes back with not enough space. [09:07] tarelerulz, how do you connect to the tahoo chat service? [09:07] CM`: THere is an installer in emerald [09:08] tarelerulz, *yahoo [09:08] brizben: Have you tried using the command line? [09:08] I use pidgin right now and I have cable internet and I use ndiswrapper for my wireless card [09:09] <[dcr]> tarelerulz: try Kopete ? and for IRC try Konversation? X.x; [09:09] Agent_bob, okay its fixed but now how do i move all of the files in the dir to a diff dir without doing it file by file [09:09] there is an instaler in emerald [09:09] ? [09:09] ph0rensic, yes I tried to genisoimage to /media/disk from the cd rom but I could not figure it out. [09:09] tarelerulz, Sorry. I meant what do you do to join the yahoo chat services? Through a website or through a 3rd party program? [09:09] jay-oh-en rename the dir [09:09] CM`: for the gnome themes, you just drag the .tar.gz into the appearance program [09:09] CM`: Import function [09:09] yeah [09:10] it says it can't read it [09:10] brizben: you can use 'dd' to create the .iso file anywhere you like [09:10] or see it or something [09:10] CM`: for emerald, run the emerald theme manager and click the import button and choose the .emerald file [09:10] jay-oh-en mv my-old-dir-name my_new_dir_name [09:10] brizben: You are just trying to copy a file from one place to another right? [09:10] ph0rensic, My CD is deaddead. I think just spending some $50-100 on a new drive will fix the prob. [09:10] neil_d, ok thanks I forgot about dd [09:10] natlinuxnewb: ok [09:10] hello [09:10] grub [09:10] ph0rensic, unless... is there a way to upgrade from here?

[09:11] I have hairy [09:11] brizben: Oh ok sorry [09:11] ph0rensic, i have hairy [09:12] natlinuxnewb: Hoary? [09:12] ph0rensic, np thank you for trying to help me [09:12] jay-oh-en: nautilus can. [09:12] ph0rensic, any way to get to 7.10 from the net without CD install? [09:12] brizben: Sure thing [09:12] jay-oh-en this is an example only. but say you wanted it all in /bin mv ~/Deskop/something ~/Desktop/bin ;sudo mv ~/Desktop/bin / <<< not a good idea but very fast and affective [09:12] natlinuxnewb: Wait you said you have hoary thats the latest one.. its not stable yet [09:12] ph0rensic, oh sorry [09:13] i downloaded the latest version of ubuntu. when i try to install it failed. problem loading the kernel files. so i choose the OEM option and it works. should i care? [09:13] natlinuxnewb: Did you try apt-get dist-upgrade [09:14] ph0rensic, mmmmmm... I have Ubuntu Linux 5.04 : The Hoary Hedgehog Release. Afaik thats not the latest. 7.10 is more newer [09:14] is the OEM version bad for me? [09:14] Agent_bob, i dont get it did you undersatand what i wanted to do tho? [09:14] yes [09:14] gaaa my apperance won't read themes that end with .tar.gz [09:15] ph0rensic, just tried it. Says I need 0 updates. Because (i would assume) it is no longer supported. [09:15] in bash: can i include a newline in a string variable? [09:16] natlinuxnewb: hang on Im running on 20% brain right now hehe [09:16] jay-oh-en: one way use nautilus, open the directory where the files are menu "Edit->Select all" "Edit->Cut" got to destination "Edit->Paste" [09:16] <[chr0n0s]> help! .. how do i stop mplayer from resizing aspect ratio of my videos.... some info here --> http://pastebin.com/d4e030a9c [09:16] jay-oh-en what do you want? you want me to write the command for you so you can just copy paste it to a terminal and not have to know what you did, or if it will blow up your pinguin ? ok here. mv ~/Desktop/blah ~/Desktop/www ;sudo mv ~/Desktop/www /var <<<< assuming that you meant blah when you said blah.

[09:18] blag VAR="something \n something else" [09:18] natlinuxnewb: There should be but I wouldn't recommend it [09:18] Agent_bob: how do i go about including a newline in a string variable? [09:18] Agent_bob: sry, lag... [09:18] ph0rensic, blag, ok. well...thanks for all the help tonight everyone [09:19] natlinuxnewb: A whole lot has changed from hoary ... I really would think it may break your syste, [09:19] <_ruben> blag: just hit enter where you want the newline ;) [09:19] blag you can also just hit [enter] in place of \n the quotes is what protects the string. [09:19] natlinuxnewb: Umm canyou do a net install [09:19] Agent_bob, i will paste it in terminal but i do know what the command means its renaming the blah folder to www then im copying the file to /var thanks :d [09:19] :D [09:19] natlinuxnewb: I think we can do a whole install over net ..do you have another pc? [09:19] ph0rensic, eh? thats what i asked you [09:19] ph0rensic, i do [09:19] natlinuxnewb: Right well I was thinking upgrade.. not install over current system [09:20] natlinuxnewb: Sure.. its possible let me look it up cause ive never done it [09:20] !install | ph0rensic [09:20] so how do I do this? anyone?

[09:28] [miles], specifically from ubotu's link - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick [09:28] ph0rensic: i just need a crappy pci card, so i can use dual monitor. my other computer broken. so now i am thnking of putting dual screens [09:28] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56042/ [09:28] Agent_bob: Sry, its late here, is the thing that's surprising the use of single quotes? === ce_temari is now known as no_name [09:29] gold44: yes, that's it. === no_name is now known as no [09:29] <[miles]> superb! [09:29] hi, cna I specify two aliases for root in /etc/aliases? and does that help two people receiving messages sent to rrot?

[09:29] gold44: twinview is awesome [09:29] blag yes the single quotes in echo -e '$something \n more' the variable is not expanded but the \n newline char is [09:30] For those interested you can Net boot and install Ubuntu from http://lubi.sourceforge.net/unetbootin.html [09:30] gold44: yeah that should work fine.. stick to nvidia if yuu can [09:30] Hi, is there anyone who uses ATI fglrx? When I want to play movie on XV it looks poor and like in bad quality, when on gl it slows and skips, on X11- it looks perfect, but I heard that is not recommended to use it... === no is now known as gadizz [09:30] http://pastebin.com/m73561840 [09:30] MrKeuner: thats not what aliases do [09:30] gold44: it is pci-E [09:31] Agent_bob: ah, that is weird. any idea why they did it that way? [09:31] apparently I can't use the import button [09:31] macogw: can I do that? [09:31] blag quotes act differently for a reason. if you want it to do one thing you quote it one way. if you want the same string to do something else you quote it differently. [09:31] gold44: is your MB pci or pcie? [09:31] MrKeuner: aliases let you set, for example ls='ls --color' so if you type "ls" it automatically runs ls --color instead [09:31] ph0rensic: yeah, i know, pci-e. [09:31] it only works if I drag and drop even then some of the files only work [09:31] MrKeuner: are you talking about email? [09:31] macogw: I mean I need two people to receive the messages sent to root [09:31] blag that's why i pointed it out to you. [09:31] gold44: Oh ok just making sure [09:31] ph0rensic: i m just curious about these dual port cards. [09:31] Agent_bob: I guess I'm too used to the PHP way of thinking about quotes. But thanks for pointing that out, I'll have to delve deeper into quotes. [09:32] abny gui utility to repair grub [09:32] any [09:32] MrKeuner: if youre talking about email, youd set that up in the mailserver, i think [09:32] blag welcome [09:32] gold44: curious how? I have that brand actually.. everything worked out of the box other than editing xorg.conf [09:32] ph0rensic: both my monitors are VGA anyway, i am using one AGP port. so i might buy an expensive agp card that has twoports [09:33] gold44: Are you wondering about the one card that is dvi? [09:33] gold44: the dvi has a vga adapter that comes with it.. you can use the s-video port for a tv if you wanted.. [09:33] ph0rensic: i want to know if those cards are like a toggle-card. you can only use one at a time, like all other stuff, some ram slots, pci with old isa slots and such... [09:34] gold44: No they are dual head, use both at the same time.. just not 3 at a time [09:34] Agent_bob: since you seem to be far more knowledgeable than I: I got my script to work with short flags ("-h") with getopts, how do I get it to work with long options ("--help")? [09:34] ph0rensic: no, i ve tried s-video in the past. it's no good for me. [09:34] I need help to configure my external hard drive [09:35] now if i could just find the name of that debian .deb that i installed to make midi work correctly ... [09:35] blag i'll have to revisit the pastebin give me a sec to see what you are doing there [09:35] I have a bash script I'd like to step through, one command at a time. Is there a tool or command I can use? [09:35] gold44: Ok, either way... I would recommend using the dvi and vga port obviously.. (or both dvi depending on the card) [09:35] Q. Does linux use or not use .exe files? [09:35] natlinuxnewb: No .. unles maybe in wine [09:36] natlinuxnewb: .exe is a m$ thing [09:36] Agent_bob: I updated it, here's the link: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56044/ [09:36] ph0rensic: oh.... not 3 at a time... interesting. i expect the s-video to work nicely with other ports. cause usually people tend to use s-video to do presentation while reading from their monitor at the same time [09:36] nataku_: wine can use them (sometimes) [09:36] blag i'm not seeing any test for args ??? [09:36] natlinuxnewb: you may give it any extention you like but if you want to "execute" it it should be a binary and has the chmod +x option on [09:36] <[dcr]> natlinuxnewb: thats what Wine is for :D [09:36] ph0rensic, can you go to here...http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=198821&package_id=243411 and tell me which one i should DL and use? [09:36] blag oh sorry didn't notice the update. [09:37] gold44: With the nvidia cards you can use any of the two ports at a time... so vga+DVI VGA+s-video or DVI+VGA [09:37] Sjimmie, thanx. that was what i needed [09:37] [dcr], lol [09:37] ph0rensic: i think relatively speaking the cost for a DVI-to-vga converter is expensive, when it comes to a video card. the convert might cost $30 while a brand new dvi card will cost $50 [09:37] natlinuxnewb: lol, the script I'm working on will allow machines to PXE boot to your computer and then dd partitions over a network [09:37] Agent_bob: np [09:37] ph0rensic: thx good to know [09:38] gold44: These cards come with the convert [09:38] blag lol [09:38] ph0rensic: yes, some do , some don'tknow [09:38] I have a .sh on my desktop. how do i open it? [09:39] natlinuxnewb: Umm your installing this on windows so you need to get the .exe I'd go with the top one i386 win [09:39] blag first option g|-gzip) ph0rensic, No. im installing this over Ubuntu 5.04 [09:39] :) [09:40] blag you may have trouble with posix --options and -- end options if you don't add a space too -- ) [09:40] natlinuxnewb: So this program gets installed on the working system?? Why is there a .exe format?? [09:40] Agent_bob: Error: Unknown option - [09:40] ph0rensic, for the windows os. [09:40] macogw: just to let you know, editing /etc/aliases worked for me. I just added a second user after a comma. now both receive root's messages. [09:41] ph0rensic, you following? [09:41] natlinuxnewb: Not really you want to pm me? [09:41] I think gnome is conflicting with an apperance I finally got working [09:41] but looks weird [09:41] is there a way to disable or clear emerald [09:41] I accidently said gnome instead [09:43] Agent_bob: and just for clarification, you meant I should add a space between "--" and ")", right? [09:43] natlinuxnewb: I think you install the package on the host system you will be installing from [09:44] natlinuxnewb: In that case get the top .exe (i386) [09:44] * natlinuxnewb crys [09:44] read my pm lol [09:44] natlinuxnewb: haha let me look at the docs [09:44] .exe is usless to me. i want to install it ontop of this 5.04 ubuntu [09:45] natlinuxnewb: never got it [09:45] how do i pm in xchat?

[09:56] (Since none were installed with GIMP) [09:56] dumnut: it may be that you need to write a wvial script? If you don't get any other (better) responses, maybe try googling for sprint+linux+wvdial to see if other people have approached that way [09:56] maximilion, there are good help files online for gimp. do you want to DL all those? [09:56] dumnut: but latest ubuntu might have some graphical panel. last time I tried (a couple of releases back, that's how I attempted to resolve it) [09:57] natlinuxnewb, I want F1 to work, and in case that fails, I want it to work like it's supposed to - open the html help files :) [09:57] (or clicking the help button that is in every GIMP window ;) [09:58] which package contains the sound driver modules [09:58] !xgl [09:58] Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion [09:58] osfameron, hmm i am too busy with trying to start my business and chats to do detail work plus i am not as smart as you guys, i guess i'll just buy from ubuntu the latest cd, thank-you for your direction.

[10:53] hello. how can I add an existing username to a certain group ? useradd -G ? [10:53] maximilion: nope [10:53] Devyll: no, use the user add gui in gnome "System --> Admin --> users" [10:53] Devyll: or useradd [10:54] Ben_Cs: you'll need to boot into windows and do a "chkdisk" on them [10:54] Ben_Cs: to mark them as "clean" [10:54] Devyll, yeah look in the menus first, if you don't have a special reason for doing it in the console [10:54] ikonia: not through linux? weird. ok i'll do it [10:54] thanks [10:54] Is it possible to install sound card drivers in wine? [10:55] Ben_Cs: no - the disk tools for ntfs are windows only. [10:55] pocketdrummer: nope [10:55] pocketdrummer: why would you need to? [10:55] ikonia: thanks alot dude. will try that [10:55] ikonia, maximilion I can't use gui. I have remote access via ssh [10:55] Devyll: then useradd [10:56] where can i find a GUI HD partitioner? [10:56] natlinuxnewb: system --> admin --> gparted [10:56] im struggling with gparted [10:56] ikonia, the syntax is "useradd -G groupname username" ?

Ask your system administrator to create more. <<< seeing that i'm this systems admin what the heck is a pty ? /dev/pty ? [10:59] Agent_bob: virtual terminal [10:59] ikonia, actually I have nothing like it my menu either :) [10:59] Agent_bob: what are you doing that gets that message [10:59] maximilion: use synaptic to install gparted [10:59] maximilion: then look [10:59] expect spawn [10:59] ikonia thanks ! [10:59] ikonia, I know what gparted is. Im using it in terminal. But i need a gui HD partioner. What you describe isnt there on my admin list. [10:59] Agent_bob: are you trying to do LFS by any chance [10:59] when i enable twinview in nvidia-settings...my windows stretch to the 2nd display...how can i prevent it? [10:59] He might need to use Synaptic [10:59] hehe [11:00] ikonia no. [11:00] Agent_bob: ooh [11:00] ikonia just running an expect secipt and when it tries to spawn a process it burps out that error [11:00] morning :D [11:00] Agent_bob: one moment [11:01] anybody? [11:01] realz`: saying anybody means nothing - [11:01] how to get tcl/tk 8.5 for gutsy? [11:01] jimcooncat: look if it's in the repo's [11:01] can anyone tell me how can I turn off that annoying sound from pc speaker ?? I removed and blacklisted mod but I can still hear it when I play audio [11:01] anyone with a dell xps m1530 about? [11:01] Ayabara: 1330 here - does that help ? [11:02] mad_max02 mute it. [11:02] I did [11:02] ikonia: only for hardy, I requested a backport but no comments yet on it [11:02] but I still hear some high frequencu sound when audio play on computer [11:02] and its really getting on my nerves [11:02] jimcooncat: so you don't get it [11:03] I'm going to post something I dont understand. "Step 1. Use gparted to create a new primary partition and format it to ext3." [11:03] and I'm sure its not the speakers coz I hear it too when I turn speakers off :D [11:03] ikonia: I'd compile it but I don't want to screw up the 8.4 installation [11:03] mad_max02 in terminal alsamixer scroll right to pc-speaker and check it's muted [11:03] jimcooncat: there you go then [11:03] ikonia, maybe. it has intel hd audio, right? I can't get my mic to work. in alsamixer all I see is Master and PCM, and something called "Mic as Output" [11:03] how do i use gparted to do that. I dont know how to read the devices in gparted [11:03] Agent_bob, yeah dude. its muted [11:04] I got NF570 Sli mobo it if helps anything [11:04] i cant isntall ebox-network, any clue why? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56047/ [11:04] mad_max02 humm and you stil have sound from it ? odd indeed. [11:04] Agent_bob: I wrote this about 2 years ago, it's still pretty valid and may help http://www.linuxfromscratch.org//lfs/faq.html#no-ptys [11:05] hello. i have installed ubuntu on my laptop. can i plug a projector device and use directly? or do i need a configuration? [11:05] ikonia, and the volume of the right headphone connector is much higher than the one on the left. any of this the case on your 1330? [11:05] Agent_bob, yeah dude. Its what I say. Can it be maybe problem with drivers ? [11:05] Agent_bob: I suspect udev rules don't have enoough scope to add more devices [11:05] Ayabara: why are you asking me, I've not responded to any of your questions nor read any [11:05] ikonia no udev here. [11:05] thats a HDA Nvidia with Realtek chipset [11:05] ikonia looking at your page. [11:05] Agent_bob: how can you not be using udev ? [11:05] but I get all sounds right and all 5+1 speakers work out of the box [11:05] Agent_bob: ubuntu uses udev [11:05] ikonia simple i removed it. [11:06] Agent_bob: that would explain it, just make the nodes then [11:06] lol [11:06] i cant isntall ebox-network, any clue why? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56047/ | here is the configuration file it complains about: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56048/ [11:06] ikonia, " Ayabara: 1330 here - does that help ?" [11:06] :-) [11:06] ikonia i really doubt that the device node is missing. [11:06] Ayabara: oooh, yes, I've got a 1330, I missed the actual question though [11:06] ikonia it is probably more like a permissions issue [11:07] Agent_bob: you need a node per terminal, MAKEDEV only creates $X ammount [11:07] Agent_bob: yes, permissions are often a cause too [11:07] ikonia, ah. I just wondered if you have (had) the same issues as me. in short: does you front mic work? [11:07] Agent_bob: some hints on that page [11:07] Ayabara: yes it does [11:07] Agent_bob, do you maybe have a idea on what should I do ? [11:08] ikonia, out of the box? all I can see in alsamixer is master, pcm and "mic as output" [11:08] Agent_bob, hehe I just thought of something. I can cut wires of that pc speaker :D [11:08] may someone help me? [11:08] Ayabara yup, no problems. [11:08] neversaynever: if you ask a question, people maybe able to [11:08] i have installed ubuntu on my laptop. can i plug a projector device and use directly? or do i need a configuration? [11:08] ikonia, ok. I'll go bug the alsa-people :) [11:09] neversaynever: plug it in, then use the gnome display manager to set your resolution on the external device [11:09] how can i make a new partition on my HD? Parted makes no sense to me. [11:09] gparted [11:09] neversaynever: depending on how the EDID id displayed you may need some manual edits [11:09] natlinuxnewb, use gparted dude [11:09] manual edits in the Xconfig? [11:09] mad_max02, how? [11:09] ? [11:09] neversaynever: maybe [11:09] is new ubuntu coming on april? was it 8.04? [11:09] type gparted ? [11:09] yes [11:09] epsi: correct [11:10] when in april [11:10] ok [11:10] fstabb: no idea yet [11:10] did anyone updated from lets say 7.04 to 7.10 with sucess ?? [11:10] mad_max02, command not found [11:10] mad_max02: many people [11:10] natlinuxnewb, dude use synaptics to install it if not found [11:11] ikonia, and do I need to set everything up again ? [11:11] or will my settings remain ? [11:11] hi, is there a way to leave your network connection enabled when suspending the pc? [11:11] mad_max02: somethings you may have to tweak, due to new versions, new ways of doing things, but mostly should be the same [11:11] speedhunt3r: nope [11:11] speedhunt3r: it can "wake on lan" [11:11] I'm looking forward to pulse audio [11:12] mad_max02, I search for gparted and cant find it under synaptics either. :( [11:12] i would like full support for creative x-fi fati1lity + pulse audio. :) [11:12] ikonia, aw..i want it so that it leaves the connection on for downloads running but still suspends the pc [11:12] speedhunt3r: then you can't suspend [11:13] natlinuxnewb, did you enable repositories ?? [11:13] probably not [11:13] go to software sources and enable universe, multiverse and other sources [11:13] and try again [11:14] -.- [11:14] mad_max02, thanx for your help. I'm going to bed. Ill try to sort this out tomorrow [11:14] prince_jammys: can you do me a favour jammy [11:15] hey there everyone [11:15] natlinuxnewb, lol np dude [11:15] ikonia ok mounting the dev/pts fixed expect but now what the heck is that devpts file system ? [11:15] natlinuxnewb, gn [11:15] Agent_bob: "device files system" basiclly [11:16] ikonia it's in ram ? [11:16] do you correct === roald is now known as qzyR` [11:16] Anyone know of a good tool for generating scripts? Preferably something with a GUI. [11:16] like /proc ? [11:16] Agent_bob: not quite, let me see if I can find a link for you [11:17] Does anyone have a guide on how to configure a bloody 9 button mouse? This thing is really starting to get on my nerves. [11:17] Agent_bob: bit of a tricky one to explain [11:17] The new X.org versions have depreciated most of what I've read. [11:17] Trel, wow 9 buttons? you're going to pilot ur computer? haha [11:17] prince_jammys: u there ?? [11:18] Four actual buttons and I'm assuming 5 different motions with the scroll wheel. [11:18] left, right, click, forward and back for the scroll wheel. [11:18] hello [11:18] Newbie .xinitrc generator? Trying to make a remastersys livecd in virtualbox without a display manager [11:19] hey funny stuff http://ubuntu.hubweb.net/bbs/zboard.php?id=ucc&no=32 [11:20] man some stuff is royally messed up now. [11:20] speedhunt3r, mice with many buttons are extremely useful for f.ex. 3D artists, and Linux should have the luxurious configuration options it deserves, in my opinion [11:20] URL's with & in them are evil [11:20] http://ubuntu.hubweb.net/bbs/zboard.php?id=ucc&no=30 [11:20] funny interview i like Mark [11:20] I've got the mouse detected with evdev. It is just a matter of mapping these buttons or actually getting them to do anything. [11:21] maximilion, good point... a regular user like me couldn't see the use for 9 buttons though =p [11:21] Trel, let me know if you find an app that lets you map mouse buttons! [11:21] I usually use a touchpad on a portable so I've never given much thought to more buttons. [11:21] Whenever firefox is doing something (loading a page, autocomplete in URL), xorg uses 100% CPU, some times this is so bad my entire system hangs and not even sysreq can reboot, any ideas? seems like https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/38131 [11:21] picard_pwns_kirk: hi [11:21] Cew27: yo [11:21] picard_pwns_kirk: be back in 30 seconds keep looking [11:22] k [11:22] maximilion: I doubt I'll find anything that is very easy to use. [11:22] speedhunt3r, well those mice rock in browsers too... 2-directional scroll wheel, home/end to go all the way up and down, middle click to open link in new tab, one button to save link as... the options are endless [11:22] hi, how can i connect to a server using a client socket that is specifically bound to an ip address [11:22] hey guys, let's smile ^______^ [11:22] xmodmap seems the best bet [11:23] one button for refresh, another for cut, another for paste... [11:23] Zey arr bjutifull [11:23] maximilion, nice... it would take me a long time to get used to all the keys i mapped...so used to standard 3 button w/scroll [11:23] Trel, does anything in this help? I know its not ubuntu, but maybe something might give you a hint what to look at http://forum.freespire.org/archive/index.php/t-1638.html [11:23] you could always go for the highlight=copy, middleclick=paste [11:23] :P [11:23] Linux is Linux unless you're looking for a step by step how to. [11:23] hey does anyone here know how to change what my mouse does ?? [11:24] Cew27: edit your xorg.conf file [11:24] picard_pwns_kirk: thanks [11:24] no prob [11:24] interesting.. [11:24] guys I want to make sure about this, when I install ubuntu it asks me to set "/" somewhere, so now I have a 40 gigs partition (I want to use it as my main) I have a 5 gigs partition and 512MB linux swap partition [11:24] Be right back.. [11:24] where should I put that "/" on the 40gigs or on the 5 gigs? [11:24] mam takie coś [11:24] I hate restarting X for every single change. [11:25] those 2 (40 gigs and 5 gigs) are both ext3 partitions [11:25] ... [11:25] gettings this error, can someone help??

[11:25] ??? [11:25] Slade^^, for swap, use /swap === daurnimator is now known as zz_daurnimator === zz_daurnimator is now known as daurnimator [11:26] and that of 5 gigs? [11:26] Slade^^, or go to file system type, change to "swappable area" or something like that. [11:26] hey guys, you are the one who make the world better [11:26] Slade^^, for your 5 gigs. [11:26] kkouwe: debian support is in #debian [11:26] hm [11:26] speedhunt3r, the swappartition is " [11:26] linux swap [11:26] ikonia: looks like they are sleeping over there :/ [11:27] https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/38131 is what im having atm [11:27] I'm curious if it will even do what I expect if I get them correctly configured [11:27] 512 mb swap is sufficient [11:27] yeah 5 gigs? insane. [11:27] rosebuntu_ i don't use swap. [11:27] kkouwe: sit and wait in the channel then, just because they are asleep does not mean ubuntu picks up #debians's slack [11:27] thats nothing [11:27] 8gb swap here lol [11:27] i've got 1 gb and it hardly uses it [11:27] ;) ok ok [11:27] 4gb ram 8gb swap >_< [11:27] dont ask. [11:27] speedhunt3r 5g / 40g /home sounds about right [11:27] Hi, everyone. I want to delete all files which have "~" as suffix in ~/public_html. I did "rm -R ~/public_html/*~", but it didn't work. What kind of command should I do? Btw, if I do "locate ~/public_html/*~", I got what I want... Thanks [11:28] 4gb ram doesn't need swap partition [11:28] Agent_bob, it's not for me, it was for Slade ^^ but that guy left the channel. [11:28] I would like to get the prevu package for my gutsy. It says it's in universe, but aptitude can't find it. What am I doing wrong? [11:28] *contemplates upgrading to hardy alpha* [11:28] speedhunt3r yes i know. was only commenting as you were. [11:28] jscinoz: I've got it running now on a couple of machines. [11:28] rosebuntu_: you need it for suspend to disk if you used and even if you never hit it a swap partition is allways a good idea [11:28] jscinoz: Alpha really means Alpha this time. [11:29] more broken than usual? [11:29] don't do it unless you can afford to format the machine [11:29] Oh yeah [11:29] >_< [11:29] Definitely more broken [11:29] hey all i just recorded a video using gtk-recordmydesktop and i would like to know how i can convert it to avi from ogg without loosing any quality [11:29] these xorg bugs are really pissing me off though [11:29] xorg eats 100% of core0 70% of core1 [11:29] You think it is bad in Gutsy you'll be crying in Hardy. [11:29] ;) [11:29] jscinoz: your language is uncalled for and not welcome [11:29] ! [11:29] !language > jscinoz [11:29] ikonia: A bit harsh, no? [11:29] Trel: no [11:29] yeah just a bit. [11:30] easy on the conservsauce :P [11:30] lol [11:30] ikonia: Yes I definitely think that is a bit harsh for such a commonly used phrase. [11:30] Trel: other words are used common - doesn't change anything. [11:30] hello === Yellow is now known as Yellow^flu [11:30] :( [11:30] i love wammu...it's a better app than what came with my phone. [11:31] ikonia: I think the general idea of the channel is to provide people a reason not to use that language. [11:31] *ignores the wannabe op* [11:31] Trel: no, it's to support ubuntu [11:31] jscinoz: carry on using the language then, [11:31] ikonia: You can't tell me that you haven't used worse language than that when X has started to act up. [11:31] Anyway.. back to my mouse. [11:31] Trel: not in a public Irc channel, no [11:31] so what would your rather i say.. "This xorg screwyness is making me rather frustrated" - no thanks. [11:31] we talking about swearing? [11:32] guys, this is seriously OT [11:32] Daviey: no kidding [11:32] I agree, off topic... [11:32] just repsect the no language [11:32] i'd like to share directories on my ubuntu server for windows clients like linux ones, are there better solution than NFS (security is a problem) and SAMBA (configuration is a problem) ? [11:32] ikonia thinks "xyz is pissing me off" is bad phrase [11:32] no language eh? === kaminix^ is now known as kaminix [11:32] ill say giberish then, who needs english [11:32] ow, that's so American.... swearing is a healthy way to show your frustration. now let's talk about coimputers again shall we [11:32] yes [11:33] are there any decent p2p clients on ubuntu? I tried amule, but it had a bit too much junk in the search results for my liking [11:33] mldonkey. [11:33] Ayabara: Which protocol? [11:33] can't blame that on the client maybe [11:33] mldonkey has it, whatever protocol you need. [11:33] anyone has had succes with the 64-vit drivers for the X-Fi? [11:33] Ayabara, then u didnt search like you should [11:33] *bit [11:33] Trel, don't know actually. someplace where there is stuff to search [11:33] jscinoz, thanks for the tip [11:33] Ayabara, you could try gnutella [11:33] Yellow^flu, I had X-Fi in my 64bit box [11:34] mad_max02, maybe so. :-) [11:34] ayabara, mldonkey itself is a daemon, you need an interface for it, try mldonkey-gui for a basic one, i'd go with sancho (not in repo, google it) [11:34] Yellow^flu, but I got it out and sold it :( I'm using onboard chip now [11:34] p2p like mule, torrent, dc++ ?? [11:34] i wish the drivers for 8400 cards weren't so fail at the moment. 8400 has major problems on all platforms thanks to lazy nvidia [11:34] mad_max02: how did dyou get it to work? firstly it says "only 64-bit supported" although it is 64-bit - changed the uname switch in the ./install, then I get compiling errors [11:34] Ayabara : try Nicotine (Soulseek net) [11:35] smoking is harmful [11:35] jscinoz: not only 8400, I went through hell and back to get my 8800GT installed -.- [11:35] Yellow^flu, problem is that I got analog working. [11:35] Yellow^flu, but I bought that card for digital out [11:35] <3 envy [11:35] * Ayabara is overwhelmed by all the suggestions [11:35] mad_max02: my onboard works here too, but I really want the X-Fi to work ;) [11:35] still keep around the nvidia xxx.run for when stuff breaks [11:35] It is quite odd [11:36] Yellow^flu, well, thats same as I had ATI graphic but sold it and got me nvidia :D [11:36] yellow, afaik, x-fi = no drivers [11:36] I just want it to work [11:36] blame creative. [11:36] Firefox seems to be ignoring the forward and back buttons. They are correctly mapped according to the output from xev. [11:36] jscinoz: oh, I blame them, don't worry, but they did release analogue output only drivers - they just fail to work [11:36] there are some posts of people managing to get X-Fi to work but I think its a 1 out of 10 [11:36] >_< [11:36] I suppose I've mapped them, but I never told it what to do with them. [11:36] and Creative has - after 2.5 years - provided OSS with the source [11:37] are there any 3d benchmarking apps for linux [11:37] unfortunately they forgot about all linux distributions use ALSA these days [11:37] i've been using 3dmark03 under wine >_< [11:37] jscinoz, thats bad [11:37] i realise. [11:37] lol [11:37] jscinoz, u need opengl benchmark [11:37] jscinoz: there is one, however the name escapes me [11:37] yes i know [11:37] I don't think that running 3Dmark in wine gives you a good score :) [11:37] maybe ask google ? [11:37] dont know of any madmax [11:37] glgears? ;) [11:37] no [11:37] jscinoz: there is one that tests the card quite hard [11:37] lol [11:37] glxgears = not benchmark [11:37] glxgears :D ahaha nice one [11:37] what is it called ikonia [11:38] I get over 20.000fps in glxgears :D [11:38] jscinoz: I can't think of the name, I've never used it, trying to find it [11:38] didnt glxgears use to have a toggle you needed to show fps, and it was something like --i-acknowledge-that-glxgears-is-not-a-benchmark [11:38] cheers [11:38] (for something completely different: when will 8.04 release?) [11:38] april [11:38] ah, thx [11:38] mad_max02 well. i get over 20fps too [11:38] versioning scheme = Y.MM === trel is now known as Trel [11:39] oh! [11:39] Agent_bob, what gc ? [11:39] i get.. barely 800 thanks to 8400 being fail [11:39] I didn't know that was the logic behind their numbering [11:39] mad_max02 nv [11:39] thx alot, jscinoz [11:39] jscinoz, its not bad card. you didnt install it right [11:39] np [11:39] jscinoz: this isn't what I was looking for, but may help http://globs.sourceforge.net/ [11:39] Agent_bob, lol :D what model dude :D [11:39] thanks [11:39] jscinoz: thats not the one I'm thinking of [11:40] mad_max, trust me i've got it isntalled right, but i have so many screwed up things on this system and the drivers for 8400 suck on both linux and windows [11:40] Does anyone know if I need to use a program such as imwheel to give these buttons actual uses or is that done via some other method? [11:40] mad_max02 you missed the point. "over 20fps" duh. [11:40] ah :D [11:40] lol [11:40] *points vaguely to 20+ page 8400 driver petition on nvnews* [11:40] didnt read it right [11:40] Heh.. I miss my touchpad already. [11:40] large monitor and small font = bad reading :D [11:41] Hi, how do I change the default permissions of a CD-ROM drive? I can't access any files in the CD [11:41] if I run a program through ssh if I logout will it be still running? [11:41] which 8400 you using? GS? [11:41] but... the last nvidia driverpack contains as well the driver for the 8400, no? [11:42] this is peculiar... anything opengl = 100% cpu usage (somtimes by ogl app, sometimes by xorg) yet glxinfo says i have direct rendering. [11:42] I just can't imagine my 8800 will work and a 8400 won't [11:42] kane77 logout no. if you kill the client end of the ssh connection probably. or if you use --nohup [11:42] Hi Friends [11:42] Someone get me up to speed... I have an 8400... there's a problem with drivers? O_o [11:42] yes [11:42] on every platform. [11:42] May I come in ? [11:42] :) [11:42] NEIN! [11:42] :P [11:42] :D [11:42] what problem is there? [11:43] basically, its slow as a wet sloth. [11:43] Lets play a small game here ... All u need to do is to guess the name of my country [11:43] australia [11:43] nope [11:43] !ot | Cuteboi [11:43] Cuteboi: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [11:43] hey people! [11:43] :) [11:43] hrm, i haven't had any issues... even running nwn2 in wine [11:43] Anybody who knows if you can access windows in gnome from the shell? for example modify their positions? [11:43] oh [11:43] sorry sir [11:43] I would like to write a "tile windows" shellscript. [11:43] problem im having is these weird faint "shadow bars" [11:44] then I'll leave this channel & sorry for disturbing u all [11:44] which one should i download for my ubuntu 7.10. VMware Player 2.0.2 for Linux.RPM or VMware Player 2.0.2 for Linux.TAR.GZ file? [11:44] kane77 there is a little trick that i use to keep from having to hang around the ssh connection "ssh blah@blah openvt -fc 12 -- do_something there" the ssh connection only lasts long enough to start the app in the other console and closes. but the app runs normally and i can do what ever. [11:45] Agent_bob, wow thanx [11:45] (cuteboi was Indian BTW) [11:45] ikonia, globs fails to build >_< [11:45] O987987: the TAR.GZ [11:45] jscinoz: typical, I'm still looking for the one I actually meant [11:45] anyone? [11:45] kane77 just remember what vt number you open. and you can use the process table to check on it later. or kill it or what ever. [11:45] thnx [11:45] cheers [11:46] O987987: you'll have to comple it yourself [11:46] O987987: there is a tool to convert RPM to DEB though, but it's not a good way to work [11:46] !rpm | 0987987, if its not in synaptic, I guess you'll have to compile it yourself, rpm is not recommended [11:46] 0987987, if its not in synaptic, I guess you'll have to compile it yourself, rpm is not recommended: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) [11:46] thnx guys [11:46] kane77: use "screen" program [11:46] dgjones: : ah, yesn, alien was the program I meant [11:47] Agent_bob, just one more thing.. I cannot connect directly to school server so I have to connect to other ssh server then connect to one school server and then to the school server I need to connect to.. hwo can I automate this? [11:47] good evening :) [11:47] epsi, hmm.. have to look how it works [11:47] so has anyone else had the "horizontal shadow bars" problem, and if so, found a way to fix it? [11:47] kane77 sure you can nest ssh commands. [11:47] t [11:47] anyone in here ever done a mysqldump on their amarok DB? [11:47] searching the forums turned up nothing that could fix it for me [11:47] hey all [11:48] Startup manager assumes incorrectly [11:48] where can I change my boot drive manualy? [11:48] man i wish i had time to do a clean install [11:48] but i had to do so much driver hackery to make this thing work >_< [11:48] kane77: I use it for example to run irc-client in uni server. It keeps running when I logout ssh [11:48] kane77 you use public keys or type in a password ? [11:48] hi.. i need a program for linux to windows remote desktop..?? [11:48] miska, tsclient [11:48] jscinoz: Which card do you have exactly? [11:48] do you think if i run vista in VMware Player 2.0.2 for Linux my wireless sprint usb card will work? [11:49] 8400M GS, core clock=400, memclock=600 [11:49] anyone? [11:49] Agent_bob, password [11:49] O987987: sure, just bridge the connection [11:49] ok good [11:49] thnx [11:49] hi to everybody [11:49] hi [11:49] jscinoz: I'll give it a poke after I give this mouse a quick kick with xbindkeys [11:49] i will try [11:49] cheers [11:49] ikonia, SPECviewperf? [11:49] so, once more, anyone managed to get a X-Fi working in 64-bit ? [11:50] nevermidn iknoia, misread the page that was linked on [11:50] kane77 well you would probably have to use expect to truely audomate that. and i don't reccomend that. because the password would be in plain text form on your box. but you can still nest the commands and it will prompt for each password individually [11:51] Agent_bob, ok. thanx [11:51] ( aargh 39.5°C ) [11:51] kane77 example ssh blah@blah1 ssh blah@blah2 ssh user@final_dest command to run [11:52] you'll get prompted three times with that example tho ^ [11:52] jscinoz: nope, that wasn't it either [11:52] doh [11:52] I new in this...how does it work? are there any other chats? [11:52] kane77 but adding something like that to a script will save a lot of typing. [11:53] how can i costumize the setting of my lap top.. when i close it i want linux automaticly get hibernate..??? [11:53] how can i change chanel please? [11:54] josemi: type /join #channelname [11:54] josemi /join #channel [11:54] change "channelname" by the name of your channel of course [11:54] thanks [11:54] chafka, system > preferences > power management > when the laptop lid is closed [11:54] you can have different settings for on AC power or battery [11:54] what's the website again to post snippets?

[12:01] yeah [12:02] bitchx is awesome for uber system borked chat :P [12:02] what I miss in linux is a good mIRC alternative. Konversation, BitchX,... none of these is as good [12:02] yeah i'm the guy that doesn't use anythign everyone else uses. no xorg no partitions no swap space no bash .... [12:02] lol [12:02] Yellow^flu: just use irssi [12:03] Hi all [12:03] i use bash cuz i hate the lack of tab completion in csh [12:03] j2daosh: after a quick glance that doesn't seem to give what I like. But let me tell you first why I like mIRC [12:03] j2daosh understandable [12:03] mIRC gives one window in which different windows can be organized [12:04] really handy if you are on lots of channels [12:04] o...so you want something like say the 'chatzilla' extension for firefox :P [12:04] if you were on a windows box right now :P [12:04] no clue, I never used chatzilla === son-son is now known as co_666 [12:05] well actually, it might have a linux port...not sure. when stuck with windows i use chatzilla (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/16) [12:06] you could always try the seamonkey suite...

[12:25] vix but the page has more than how to install ntfs-3g [12:26] re [12:26] vix you asked how to mount them. and that's what the page is focused on. [12:26] yes, 7.10 has ntfs-3g out of the box [12:27] Agent_bob, okay i see.. [12:28] Agent_bob, i installed the ntfs configuration tool now and started it and received an error message like this : $LogFile indicates unclean shutdown (0, 0) [12:28] Failed to mount '/dev/sdc1': Operation not supported [12:28] Mount is denied because NTFS is marked to be in use.

[12:29] vix better to boot windows and let it clean the fs up first. [12:29] Hi! Need help. 2-6-22-14 kernel fails to boot on my laptop. It falls into initramfs shell after failing to find a root partition. I see neither hda nor sda (or mapper) devices in /dev [12:29] Thirsteh, can you explain a bit whats going on.. windows is locking the ntfs drive ? [12:29] i tried installing qt3-dev-tools (apt-get said it wa a substitue for qt3-dev) but still no joy [12:30] vix, Windows mounts and umounts drives too. If there's an unclean shutdown, the drive wasn't unmounted. If you force a mount in Linux, Windows might give you trouble about the drive [12:31] so like Agent_bob said, what you wanna do if you're able is to simply boot Windows, shut it down and boot Ubuntu so the drive gets cleared up [12:31] Thirsteh, Agent_bob : okay thank you guys, I will try that. [12:31] brb. [12:31] can anyone help me to boot up xubuntu on a pentium II using the alternative CD .. as for i only have 128 MBS of RAM? and under the boot sequence in the bios it only has the option to boot from C only or DIsabled? [12:31] fadey modprobe ide-generic or ide-disk and ext3 then exit and see if it finds it or loops right back to the busybox prompt. [12:31] and if you can't boot windows, just force the mount (I [12:33] fadey when you type exit in that initramfs (busybox shell) it tries to continue the boot process incase you didn't know that. [12:33] Agent_bob: thanks. I'll try it. Should I regenerate initramfs image with those options? [12:34] fadey yes i've had to rebuild initramfs several times.

[12:49] peleg, 'sudo chmod 0777 /var/run/screen' [12:49] hello all [12:49] how can i remove an user [12:49] peleg, then try the command again [12:50] Thirsteh: but I don't want to chmod this folder to 777; why should I ?

[12:50] *seulement [12:51] peleg, I'm guessing there's a binary there that needs to be executable by normal users, or a file that needs to be writable. It's not a huge security breach if that's what you're concerned about [12:51] (cyril: soit, c'est amsn que tu cherches) [12:51] peleg, probably it's the latter since it wants you to chmod the folder [12:52] Thirsteh: ok, but it is still weird. on my Debian I didn't need to do that. [12:53] does anyone knows how to set audacious as my mp3 default application [12:53] peleg, I don't have a lot of experience with screen, sorry. You could try just chmodding it 0766 and seeing if it'll run [12:54] alek66, right click on a mp3 file. check the properties/dialog box's - you set the default app in there somewhere.. [12:54] Thirsteh: thanks. [12:59] How do i set the default screen resolution when I log in? Everytime i log in I get a lower resolution than I should..

[13:35] wickedwackguy: is this during install from a live disc or what? [13:35] wickedwackguy: so you just want to partition. format, and install ubuntu on the whole drive? [13:35] furythor, hmm [13:35] Babo_ and in which country this is ? [13:36] Layla: then try leaving it a while longer [13:36] furythor, Ireland [13:36] •gimme_snuggles• install it to the whole drive form liveCD [13:36] babo_, sounds like Radio LAN [13:36] hello, i just bought a new ipod that works good under win. what do i do for ubuntu, do i just plug it in?

[13:38] i have a sound blaster card and i think that the sound is richer and more detailed in xp than in ubuntu, is it podssible that xp has "better" or different drivers than ubuntu? [13:38] babo_ what kind ranges they give for this "line of sight" ? [13:38] furythor, ranges as in ? [13:38] bw ? [13:39] any form... [13:39] •keito• no, just the "normal" partition app that is in the installer [13:39] like yards or meters [13:39] wickedwackguy: its strange as I've formatted a disc from dreamlinux for an ubuntu install and had no trouble [13:39] furythor, I think it's the usual super high bandwidth shared by all [13:39] wickedwackguy: gnome partition manager? [13:39] jrib, but how to remove user if he is still login in.. [13:39] it is possible? [13:39] is there any reason to install "wine door" ? [13:39] furythor, they don't say. their contention ratio is 24:1, they offer up to 10Mbps/2Mbps. They don't say anything on ranges though ... [13:40] lxusr: hmm, why not just log him out? [13:40] hi [13:40] jrib: can you tell me how please [13:40] hi [13:40] which option should i pass to program to run it with different locales? [13:40] •keito• so your saysing i should try to use the partiton app first and then the live install? [13:40] so that looks kind of weird for me... [13:40] wickedwackguy: yeah try to wipe the disc, then install [13:40] jrib, i am not on that user [13:41] hi [13:41] babo_ do they mention that will you get any kind connection box to your end ? [13:41] you need to run gparted (gnome partition manager) as root [13:41] •keito• ok im booting up the other system [13:41] i want gimp to use english locales because it's easier to follow tutorial with that, but i can't figure out how to change it [13:41] good luck [13:41] lxusr: well one way would be to reboot and never login with him. Or, you can kill all of his processes with: pkill -u public [13:41] wickedwackguy: hey, is it not letting you commit the partition changes or the formatting changes? [13:41] jrib, understood,thanks [13:41] gimme_snuggles: looks that way [13:42] •gimme_snuggles• both [13:42] keito: do u know which?

[13:44] wickedwackguy: keito is right, u may be better off trying a different cd or program to repartition the drive. What error occurs when u try to partition the drive using the default installer [13:45] babo_, I mean that I don't think you have to choose anything special afraid that it won't work in Linux :) [13:45] dgjones, but i am behind nat [13:45] •gimme_snuggles• yeah, im gonna give that a shot [13:45] b4l74z4r: type alt+F2 then gstreamer-properties to see what you're using [13:46] Can wine be run by multiple users, even if I install it for me ?

[13:49] say existing linux or windows partitions? [13:49] nope [13:49] it detects them but it doesnt mount them? [13:49] rofrol, i've not got any experience in setting up ssh yet, i can only point you at ubotu's info, maybe ask in a bit more detail in the channel, if anybody is around that can help, i'm sure they will [13:50] correct, only detects them and do not mount them [13:51] hi [13:51] has anyone ever used tvtime before?

[14:17] how do you remove an old broken grub loader? [14:17] good question [14:17] rufus_, do you still get the F12 menu and option to boot from cd? if so and its not working, you might need to redownload/burn a new cd [14:17] with a crowbar [14:17] Bodsda: naw its ok, just had a curious notion. [14:17] a_l_a_n: Ah... that could be it. Can you pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list ?

Um... Can you change the order of booting in your computer? [14:20] rufus: aw ha, i would check the cd. its possible you didnt burn it as an image thus not making it bootable, or perhaps the download was corrupted [14:21] TheLittlePrince, (rufus_) has the problem not me [14:21] Bodsda: Shrug. New install. The only additions were because I wanted stuff like MPlayer that didnt seem to be in the default. Post your?

[14:48] prince_jammysL thanks, im not up to date on my umask codes [14:48] !umask [14:48] Sorry, I don't know anything about umask - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [14:49] redbox, right click on bar->properties-->autohide [14:49] !unmask [14:49] Sorry, I don't know anything about unmask - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [14:49] clusty: zeros because you mask nothing when you do rwx, seven because you mask everything with --- [14:49] prince_jammys, right [14:49] prince_jammys, lemme check [14:49] Bodsda: ahh, thanks a lot! [14:49] redbox, no probs [14:50] -rwxrw-rw- 1 root users [14:50] is the outcome [14:50] prince_jammys: how do the numerals equate to the characters?

And get SASL working with crypted password in the mysql database [14:50] prince_jammys: or i will just look it up :P [14:50] gimme_snuggles: do you know normal permissions like chmod 755 and such? [14:50] How do I remove a stubborn directory? [14:50] prince_jammys, for chmod you have 1=read,2=write,4=exec [14:51] so rwx=7 [14:51] r=1 [14:51] Okay. REverting to the original sources.list resolves all problems. Comparing it to the sources.list suggested here the most striking difference appears to be that the original uses dapper rather than gutsy. How to proceed? [14:51] clutsy right, with umask it's the binary inverse [14:51] prince_jammys, but still wont work [14:51] How do I remove a directory that has contents still in it? [14:51] a_l_a_n, what distro are you using? [14:51] prince_jammys: oo i see thats easy enough then [14:51] clutsy with umask you write what you CANT do [14:51] pocketdrummer, rm -rf [14:51] Thanks guys :P [14:52] pocketdrummer, look at the man rm or rm --help [14:52] hello. some idea of a command that allows me to separate a plain text file into words????? thanks [14:52] prince_jammys, tempted to blamu linux for not working [14:52] :D [14:52] Bodsda: Kubuntu 7.10 [14:52] clusty, please only recommend that command when accompenied with a warnin [14:52] a_l_a_n, then the gutsy would be better then dapper [14:52] Bodsda, i understand :D [14:52] clusty: what's happening? mounting something? [14:53] Is there a wine support chnnel? [14:53] Oh dear.. I suspect my BIOS has juggled around the order of my drives [14:53] prince_jammys, wrote you the outcome [14:53] prince_jammys, -rwxrw-rw- 1 root users [14:53] I've restarted, and now upon boot I get error 15 file not found [14:53] Bodsda: YOu would think, but it just dont work. Is it normal for the default sources to use dapper when the version is actually gutsy? [14:53] Kuroachia, #winehq [14:53] is what comes if i set umask=007 [14:53] Bodsda: Thankyou [14:53] prince_jammys: hes trying to mount a smb share as root only, no other user [14:53] How can I see a list of boot files/devices at the grub shell? [14:53] a_l_a_n, not sure,.,.wasnt about for the dapper or fiesty releases [14:54] Kuroachia, no probs [14:54] gimme_snuggles: clusty oh i have no idea how to do that --- i came in when i saw the umask thing [14:55] prince_jammys, i give up [14:55] :D [14:55] clusty: no! im still researching it [14:55] clusty: <3 [14:56] ok ok [14:56] :D [14:56] Hello I need help [14:56] How do I know what "hd0,0" to use for widnows vista if it is in sda1?

Changing all dapper to gutsy in the original sources causes the python-central/python-apt dependency cycle. God I wish Id installed Gentoo. [14:57] anyone recommend a good/easy to use/clientless snmp monitoring system that has a nice console to monitor utilization of many systems? (free would be nice too) [14:57] clusty, ty [14:58] JinRoh, did not understand [14:58] clusty, I need to boot vista from grub [14:58] the entry for windows was removed...

[15:00] golemz: i know that you can replace the grub install with a debian install cd. there must be a way to do it from the ubuntu disk. have you googled? [15:01] pingu: are you able to play other .mpg files? [15:01] prince_jammys: i dont know first time i have tried [15:01] pingu, you need gstreamer plugins if i am nmopt mistaking [15:01] a_l_a_n, your problem is strange,. im not sure what to suggest,.,.s it a clean install?

[15:35] postage & packing [15:35] Bodsda: when I attempt to play something in 5.1 sound (Like off a dvd), I get choppy sound and a "broken pipe" error in the console. Any idea what that's about? [15:35] Odd-rationale, yer, but hang on, have to change nick [15:35] Why do some employers value Linux skills and others do not? [15:35] changing from Bodsda to bod_ [15:35] JinRoh:i just remembered, u can also access the boot.ini config with the MSCONFIG utility [15:35] capt-rogers: some employers use linux === Bodsda is now known as bod_ [15:35] capt-rogers: well, if they're not running Linux, it's not much value... [15:35] capt-rogers: some employers use linux servers, while others do not [15:35] Shinji-: hmmm ... does the existance of that cause newly created stanzas to show those same options? seems like that'd be used for default options when the options were not stated specifically. [15:36] cinex: exclent real geek [15:36] Fudzi: konqueror man:tar [15:36] ubuntunut, probably bad drivers -- alsa? [15:36] how to determine hda no [15:36] capt-rogers: Some employers run on a unix based network, others run on a w indows based network [15:36] trying to remount [15:36] ok [15:36] merci [15:37] bod_: alsa, yes. And they're the default ones installed during the OS install [15:37] thx [15:37] bye [15:37] BugeyeD, if you get a new kernel, grub will use those options for it [15:37] What can I use to make a simple menu of possible remote desktop commands in X? [15:37] cdavis: are u using kde or gnome? [15:37] ubuntunut, installed all gstreamer plugins/codecs? [15:37] gimme_snuggles, gnome [15:37] I recompiled my kernel using (make-kpkg) the generic .config. Now, while dpkg -i the kernel-image, I get "find: /lib/firmware/2.6.22.9nofreqscaling: No such file or directory". Why is that? And how do I build those modules "the ubuntu way"? [15:37] Shinji-: all this time i've been looking for something stored elsewhere (like in /etc) that the grub updater was referencing. argh. thanks a bunch! [15:37] Even companies that use Linux, some pay really well, and some are always 'better-dealing'.. [15:37] cdavis: you can write a simple shell script to do that for you [15:38] hello [15:38] would a make modules && make install in the /usr/src/linux do the trick? [15:38] !bash script [15:38] Sorry, I don't know anything about bash script - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [15:38] !script [15:38] Sorry, I don't know anything about script - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [15:38] !.sh [15:38] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful.

I'm not entirely sure. I did a cli install so it probably didn't come with them [15:38] bod_: Probably not. I'm not entirely sure. I did a cli install so it probably didn't come with them [15:38] Has anybody in here had any success editing wiki.ubuntu.com pages with editmoin [15:38] how to determine hda no [15:39] bod_: anyway to check with the cli if I managed to install them or not? [15:39] hey do you guys have tips to sucessfully install ubuntu on my Compaq Presario Sr1150AP desktop?

[15:40] bod_: From the cli, though? Sans synaptic? [15:40] ubuntunut, are you not using a gui? [15:40] hello [15:40] bod_: Not when I can. [15:40] ugys you can disable system beeps with some sort of modprobe command -- what is it? how do i reanable it? [15:40] 'The linux terminal or command line interface is very powerful' <<---lol...thats the definition right there of superfluous [15:40] Does anyone know of a way that I could re-configure ALSA so that all sound output is at 48000hz? It seems to get rid of the choppy audio in some apps [15:41] But not all of them have that option :> [15:41] ubuntunut, lol,.,.well just heck for the packages i mentioned [15:41] bod_ rmmod pcspkr to disable it [15:41] ubuntunut: you can view with "sudo aptitude" on it's own --- but DONT install anything from there if you normally use apt-get [15:41] bod_: sudo rmmod pcspkr [15:41] ubuntunut, also follow orochi's question [15:41] bod_ modprobe pcspkr to reenable it [15:41] bod_: Throw that baby on a blacklist [15:41] how to repar or reinstall grub [15:41] i created a new user by "sudo useradd -d /home/testuser -m testuser" and then "sudo passwd testuser" so far so good. but when i want to account i get this error: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56077/ [15:42] jeffMASTERflex, what do you mean by that? [15:42] prince_jammys: I'm an aptitude kinda guy. [15:42] ubuntunut, ive done it,. helpin a kde guy,.,. mjw- cheers [15:42] ubuntunut: once you are in aptitude, press / to search for the package name and "n" to see the next match if there's more than one [15:42] cdavis: still there? [15:42] prince_jammys: Good to know. [15:43] Presario: there aren't really many tips. The install uses a Live CD which allows you to test before you install. If you have any problems after install, people in this channel can help you out [15:43] ubuntunut: it's what i use [15:43] can anyone here help me install ubuntu in my presario?

[15:43] Presario: What exactly would you need help with? [15:43] is it possible to change the sound driver java uses? cause I wanna make sure it uses alsa so i can play sound from other sources also [15:44] emosamurai: server issue likely try again later [15:44] Presario: the ubuntu forums might be a good place to check for that sort of question [15:44] bazhang: it's been like that for the whole week.

Thus, not allowing me to even see a single thing of ubuntu on my presario.

I'm just clicking the star. [15:45] alright. i'll try it [15:45] Presario: try the alternate cd then [15:46] alternate CD meaning the DVD version?

I mean, I want to take packages already downloaded to another machine avoiding have to re-download them. [15:47] emosamurai: next time try sudo apt-get update then sudo apt-get upgrade see if that makes a difference [15:47] guys i need something for not go back to windows :) please tell me ubuntu supports hdmi.

When I try get to a console from X using ctrl+alt+F* all I get is a blank screen. After this I can't even get back into X, so I have to do a hard reset to get it to work again. This is a known bug, but all the workarounds I found (fbcon, radeonfb) don't seem to work for me. Anyone know what I can try? [16:18] eck090: haha not really [16:18] kadakas: go to the menu > system > preferences > screen resolution [16:18] eck090 I agree with you [16:18] kadakas: see if you can change the resolution there [16:18] What rights wine needs to folders where windows software is installed ? [16:18] eck090: mac to linux is a bigger one ;] [16:19] read, write and excecute ? [16:19] http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 can someone tell me wich section is for me in the firmware section? [16:19] gimme_snuggles, I get syntax error from direct download [16:19] need help sharing a folder under ubuntu and accessing it under vista [16:20] furythor: drwxr-xr-x 8 tantalus tantalus 4096 2008-02-06 04:47 Program Files [16:20] all rights, then ? [16:20] kanuha: go to the menu > system > Administration > shared folders [16:20] kadaka you will find that the resolution on your big screen is rather much different than your laptop video rez. -- you can only get as close to the native tv monitor unless the tvmonitor is capable of decoding your video card rez....just my experience [16:20] gimme_snuggles, looks like I can't sh command, I have to chmod +x and run ./command [16:20] really? mac to linux is worse? [16:20] what is the current kernet version of ubuntu 7.10? [16:20] dont they both run off the unix core? [16:21] furythor: no, only read write execute for owner, read execute for others [16:21] kanuha: it will ask you if you want to install smb or nfs, install smb only and then you can add the folder you want to share. You should be able to access it on your vista box now. [16:21] natbet, ok I am there [16:21] i added a user-account, but when i try to access by this user i get this error: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56077/ [16:21] furythor: are you getting a permissions error? [16:21] eck090: mac users would be mortified to have to touch a terminal... [16:21] lol [16:21] s0u][ight 2.6.22-14 [16:21] does anyone use ventrilo? [16:21] natbet, I had already added smb and NFS, do I need to remove nfs? [16:21] eck090: I do, but it isn't ported to linux yet [16:22] i cant figure out how to get my damn USB headset to read as oss [16:22] no, I am thinking if I could bypass my problem (I got over huge home folder with wine there (like over 20gt) [16:22] im using the windows version emu thru wine [16:22] [16:22] Bleeding edge, i.e. compat-wireless-2.6 package, linus-2.6 or wireless-2.6 trees [16:22] kanuha: no, it's just extra package, no problem [16:22] so it is something like that? [16:22] hello..... im setting a computer up with a D-Link Rangebooster WUA-2340... i set it up with ndiswrapper yesterday and it worked.... now today, it doesnt work... ndiswrapper claims the driver is installed and the device is present, how do i fix this? [16:22] so I thought that maybe I could get wine to work from /usr/local/wine/x_drive etc... [16:22] so I install all software to /usr/local/wine [16:22] anyone have an idea? [16:23] meoblast001: ifconfig [16:23] furythor: yeah you should be able to do that [16:23] meoblast001: iwconfig [16:23] kanuha: in here you should be able to add the folder you want to share, then it should be viewable from the vista box, You might have to restart to make it work. [16:23] s0u][ight bleeding edge stuff will be in hardy heron [16:23] gimme_snuggles: thanx, is that all i have to do? [16:23] natbet, ok, I can see the computer name on vista, but it asks for a username and passwork [16:23] but relevant question is that what rights I need to that wine folder ? [16:23] Does this command work for your fgrlx? sudo aticonfig --overlay-type=Xv It doesn't work for me... Movie on XV still looks bad... [16:23] read,write and execute ? [16:23] meoblast001: do you see ure wifi adapter in those command outputs? [16:24] please give me a hint. [16:24] gimme_snuggles: i dont think [16:24] one second [16:24] gimme_snuggles: no [16:24] kanuha: try using your username/pw for the linux box. [16:24] natbet : do you know how i can get my usb headset to work with vent? it only picks up "default directsound devicer" [16:24] meoblast001-> does your pc gets an ip address? check with ifconfig, and if it has associated via iwconfig command [16:24] furythor: drwxr-xr-x 6 tantalus tantalus 4096 2008-02-09 01:15 drive_c ( owner: read write execute, group: read execute, others: read execute) [16:24] ok. [16:24] meoblast001: type ifconfig and iwconfig and paste the outputs http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ THERE [16:25] eck090: sorry, I have never tried using a USB headset in linux. Does audio work through the headset now? [16:25] natbet, didn't work, says logon unsuccessful [16:25] yes [16:25] meoblast001: and send us the url afterwards and we can look at the output ok? [16:25] furythor: it's the owner that's important -- don't mess with the permissions, change the owner if it becomes "root" [16:25] gimme_snuggles: im obviously trying to get this computer online,k going to http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org won't really work [16:25] Hi, Im trying to configure my linux box to use a different hostname for each network interface so as to not confuse the DHCP server, at the moment it refuses give me two IPs because the hostname matches [16:25] natbet: its using alsa atm i think [16:26] kaso: associate each ip with a specific hostname in /etc/hosts [16:26] you can only set one hostname on the box itself [16:26] anyone play counter strike source in wine? it crashes on me when it connects to a server, when it tries to render anything... [16:26] furythor: and if you want to give every user write access to the "c" drive, then yes read write execute for everyone [16:26] meoblast001: oops my bad, i been up since yesterday :P. makes sense. ok u to tell me what those outputs are so i can help [16:26] Anyone know why xmms wont play mp3's off of a mounted 2nd disk? It will load them but simply wont play em. [16:26] furythor: back it up first [16:27] wow prince_jammys do you ever sleep [16:27] gimme_snuggles: the loopback interface has an ip [16:27] kanuha: I'm not sure on the username/pw there, let me see what I can dig up. [16:27] wine configuration ? [16:27] iter: :) [16:27] meoblast001: is that all u see? what if u do 'ifconfig -a' [16:27] gimme_snuggles: from the tutorial i read, i remember it making a new section [16:27] meoblast001: yes it will [16:28] gimme_snuggles: same [16:28] natbet, ty [16:28] gimme_snuggles: my sister will kill me or break her computer if she has to reconfigure this card everytime she uses the computer [16:28] gimme_snuggles, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56091/ [16:28] meoblast001-> you have access to the internet now, I think you can sacrifice a lil bit copying things over..or is that way too hard for you to paste? [16:28] what remote conection server should i use? vino or vnc? [16:28] meoblast001: ok if u only see the loopback device that means that u probably just dont have the module loaded [16:29] gimme_snuggles: how do you load the module, it worked yesterday [16:29] meoblast001: i believe when u use ndiswrapper u have to have the load the ndiswrapper module into ure system for the adapter to become active [16:30] cdavis: what's giving you that error? termservice? is termservice a script you wrote? [16:30] hi all [16:30] hi [16:30] gimme_snuggles: well, it worked yesterday so shouldnt it be loaded? [16:30] How would I go about preventing other users from using my printer?

Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [16:31] gimme_snuggles: oops.... i forgot to finish the tutorial so it wouldnt do this [16:31] pawan you keep asking that same question for hours? [16:31] getting grub menu but when i select ubuntu says no such partition [16:32] so you can boot to grub but can't start ubuntu ? [16:32] pawan are you booted on a linux now?

[16:33] pawan what? you want to use grub on a win2003 server? [16:33] noelferreira: preferences--> remote desktop, then I use ultravnc client to access the ubuntu desktop [16:33] kanuha: do sudo smbpasswd -a *your username* and set a password when asked. then use that info to access the shared folder. [16:33] stjepang: works fine :) [16:33] meoblast001: u see, it most likely loaded the module temp, u have to add it to the module list so it will load automatically [16:33] currently running win2003 server [16:33] dedi: and scrolling in firefox...?

[16:42] is there a way to make grub load on demand instead of always load on bootup? [16:42] noelferreira-> to some degree, i dont know the internals, if you have a really high rez on your client, and not on your local display, do you expect it to work? off course not [16:42] noelferreira: I assume you're trying to access a higher rez screen from a lower rez one right [16:43] prince_jammys, that worked, thanks [16:43] why ubuntu failed?

[16:46] ricky_clarkson: try, tab then enter [16:46] ricky_clarkson: tab and return [16:46] noelferreira-> your local display has to support it, if not, you are not going to be happy [16:46] ricky_clarkson: try tab then enter [16:46] ztf, but I think it will be fine, and I love it :) Some of these might be app quirks, too.

[17:23] not a good name :> [17:23] luckybamboo: do ctrl alt F1 to login in through terminal, when you're done, come back to your current session with ctrl alt F7 [17:23] Hey guys whats a aim client that i can use besides pigdin? [17:23] luckybamboo: you dont need to log out of your current session [17:23] Creationist: yeah also you're using linux mint and not gutsy :p [17:24] iter: Well, it's tightly based on Gutsy... so I figured the changes would be minor ;) [17:24] You could use XChat [17:24] Creationist: that is not supported here [17:24] bazhang: I know that. [17:24] joby, well sudo aptitude remove wine, wont get rid of it entirely, as you will have a dir in your /home/user/ that is related to wine, which you want to remove as well. rm -rf /home//.wine [17:24] Hey guys whats a aim client that i can use besides pigdin? [17:25] bazhang: But the support I get here almost always works for LinuxMint.... and until Ubuntu actually works on my system a little better, I can't justify using it. [17:25] I need xvnc4viewer or xtightvncviewer for another distro but I can't find any sources or anything, just those package infos on debian or ubuntu sites? Any idea where that stuff could be? [17:25] Shapeshifter: apt-get source the package [17:25] rg [17:25] Creationist: doesn't matter--not supported period [17:25] joby, then sudo aptitude purge wine maybe will delete both, but I am unsure of that 100% [17:25] bazhang: I didn't ask it to be, did I? [17:25] Tiven, this is Auslegung from before and it worked, thanks a lot. I have a problem with sound that's why I'm on now\ [17:26] bazhang: I asked an ubuntu-related question and applied it to my own configuration. [17:26] exegesis: nice :)) . whats up with the sound ? [17:26] Creationist: actually, you did .. and I helped you, now please play nice [17:26] My sound will just stop working every few weeks, and I think it may have to do with me downloading a torrent on Azureus [17:26] ok now i downloaded 7.10 and i "mount" on daemontools the image to make sure about what it is [17:26] any ideas? [17:26] and i see "this is a live cd etc" [17:26] yet, i downloaded what it said was the installer >> [17:26] This has happened a few times before and I've managed to fix it before but can never remember what I did [17:26] anyone get their webcam working with Gutsy and Flash 9? [17:26] exegesis: checked the sound control panel ? are they muted ? almost everything gets muted for me in alsa every few hours/days [17:27] Hey, I'm trying to skin my grub menu, I've got the picture/archive thing in place, but I'm not sure which partition it's on. [17:27] TIven I've already checked that but will check again [17:27] something im getting wrong here or i just downloaded the wrong image? [17:27] is there a way to make an application use both cores of a dualcore CPU ??? [17:27] db92, livecd is installer [17:27] aha [17:27] im using DeVeDe btw... [17:27] hi [17:28] everyone [17:28] Tiven, under SOund Preferences I have everything autodetect and they test fine, except Sound Capture is ALSA and it doesn't test right [17:28] prince_jammys, yes i could login in terminal. [17:28] as the new user [17:28] luckybamboo did you copy any files into this new user's home? [17:28] Tiven my sound is working now, but the problem is my keyboard volume buttons do nothinnng to the sound [17:28] hello [17:28] db92, boot the cd and you will see a icon "installer" [17:28] hey, i need some help, i installed ubuntustudio yesterday, and all of the jack packages, but if i run ubuntu 7.10 kernel 2.6.22-14-rt instead of generic, it gives me an nvidia error message comparable to this: fatal: install command nvidia (ee): fail load nvidia kernel mod (ee): ***aborting*** (ee): screens found, no usable configuration [17:28] i install ubuntu on my macbook [17:28] exegesis: i dont know how to fix that im sorry :( - 2 of my friends are having the same problem as well [17:28] I know that it's in my root partition, but I don't know what to call it in grub.list [17:28] using bootcamp [17:28] db92, it's all gui :) [17:29] Shinji-: kk cos i am in the "5.10 age" where i remember livecd != installer [17:29] Tiven: ok thanks, at least my sound is working, I guess... [17:29] and i remember where there was no gui :P [17:29] jpatrick: I said, for another distro, so I'm loogin for the sources, but the sources on debian / ubuntu info pages are all for vnc4 or tightvonc, and not for the resp x-viewer [17:29] kk then :=DD [17:29] luckybamboo: or alter the permissions/ownership of the files in this new user's home? [17:29] prince_jammys, no i didn't if the gnome-user-creator did not. [17:29] the problem is by default it boot with ubuntu [17:30] prince_jammys, but these files/folder belong to the user (as user and as group) [17:30] have to change the boot order to boot with mac OS by default [17:30] hey, i need some help, i installed ubuntustudio yesterday, and all of the jack packages, but if i run ubuntu 7.10 kernel 2.6.22-14-rt instead of generic, it gives me an nvidia error message comparable to this: fatal: install command nvidia (ee): fail load nvidia kernel mod (ee): ***aborting*** (ee): screens found, no usable configuration [17:30] ???? [17:30] prince_jammys, the folder looks very nice. bashrc and stuff. all there [17:30] db92, you could use alternate => no gui :P [17:30] is there a way to make an application use both cores of a dualcore CPU ??? [17:30] is there a way to make an application use both cores of a dualcore CPU ??? [17:30] luckybamboo: all owned by him and his group [17:31] sirius-black: you need the kernel headers i think for the real time kernel [17:31] sorry for the double post :s [17:31] prince_jammys, true [17:31] Fudzi: ubuntu-tutorials has tons of stuff for that you may want to check them out [17:31] Shinji-: rooofl np i just didnt know there WAS a gui << [17:31] no suggestions, eh? OK, guess I'll go back to grinding away... [17:31] dg92, hehe ok [17:31] db92, hehe ok [17:31] luckybamboo: the permissions of the .ICEauthority file?

[17:32] Hi. Is it safe to format an empty chunk of my disk located AFTER my partitions without doing it from a live CD? [17:32] ~pastebin [17:32] prince_jammys, there is no .ICEauthority in the hoesel-home-folder, but it's in the other user-home-dirs.. curious [17:32] Repley: Usually you can set that in the BIOS. [17:32] luckybamboo: just fishing around here, but worth checking ..... if everything seems ok i recommend deleting the user, deleting his home, and adding him back [17:32] Could any body tell me what "inexistent package" means? [17:33] prince_jammys, but maybe the missing .ICEauthority could be a solution? [17:33] that the package does not exist [17:33] what is it fo? [17:33] for [17:33] hi all [17:33] Odd-rationale: thank you. but on start i have an error "cpu frequency scaling not supported" or similar, i don't remember the right error string [17:33] Hello, bdancer [17:33] bazhang: not really [17:33] luckybamboo: maybe, but i don't know if you can just paste someone else's in there ... i don't know the purpose of this file, but i know it's important to the X session [17:34] to resume [17:34] any Java programmers in here?

[17:35] prince_jammys, i will remove the user and try to add him again. [17:35] i need help installing flash drivers [17:35] luckybamboo: something might have gone wrong when you tried first bash --- unless there's valuable stuff in that home, you could remove it and the user, and try readding from gnome [17:35] Odd-rationale: is possible to disable from both: bios and ubuntu? and, how to? [17:35] is this official chanel ?

[17:39] .mozilla* [17:39] luckybamboo: crap [17:39] Hello everyone! Quick question. Is it possible to install grub over lilo with no boot issues (want to install 7.10 on a laptop that boots xp and another nix distro with lilo) possible to do just the standard install and not drop the ability to boot my xp part.? [17:39] Fudzi, so I am guessing that MacOS is on there atm, and you want to add Ubuntu, or you already did? [17:40] prince_jammys, true dat. [17:40] Djadmiral did you get that [17:40] CyanideD: my bad, it's actually: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [17:40] jeffMASTERflex: you maybe want to warn the man that that command will delete all his bookmarks [17:40] neverblue: atm ? [17:40] ahh yes... that WILL delete your bookmarks [17:41] hey all, what's a program that will utilize with a built-in webcam on a laptop? I'm anxious to try it out to see if it will work. [17:41] ok its downloading so this will install flash players [17:41] got firefox to run but everything is running slow. Here' s a pastebin of top [17:41] i've already tried pidgin [17:41] http://pastebin.com/m3e6dc86e [17:41] Fudzi, atm == at the moment [17:41] CyanideD: And a bunch of other handy things as well, yes [17:41] will6: i think the worst case scenario is that you will have to do an easy edit of the /boot/grub/menu1at file [17:41] kesi, I'll take a look at that [17:41] ok any chance you can help me with another thing [17:42] CyanideD: Ask away. [17:42] DJAdmiral, thanks [17:42] no neverblue i repeat i have already done [17:42] prince_jammys: thanks for your help yesterday with the partition stuff [17:42] i still need emulation libs with 7.10 or from some version onward ubuntu became backwards compatible when it comes to processors? :P (i downloaded 64 bit) [17:42] when i start my macbook [17:42] Frijolie: np [17:42] ok i have a nivdia crad 6200 before i moved to linux i was able to put what was on my desktop on to my tv . how can i get that back? [17:43] kesi: try killall firefox-bin and restart firefox [17:43] prince_jammys, k. [17:43] Fudzi, and how does Ubuntu run on your Mac? [17:43] prince_jammys: so, assuming you remember me and my prob, now that i have a 138B /home folder. I should install all apps there? [17:43] i have to prush the "option" key to access to choose an operating system if i forgot to prush the "option " key by default it boot with ubuntu [17:43] CyanideD: By that you mean you had a TV-out port? Like your TV showed what was on your monitor, right? [17:44] yes, using the S-video port [17:44] Frijolie: you are installing apps through apt / synaptic? [17:44] and i want to change the boot order by booting default mac os [17:44] Fudzi: you want help booting osx with boot camp as the default [17:44] CyanideD: should be easy enough. What model is your nvidia card again? [17:45] kesi: nothing seems to be out of the ordinary here. Let me compare it with my top. [17:45] yeah [17:45] !dualboot | Fudzi have you read this?

When you install them that way, where do they go? [17:45] ##apple Fudzi [17:45] db92, only with flash, i think? [17:45] Frijolie: they go in various places inside of /usr/share [17:45] 6200 [17:45] DJAdmiral, firefox is flaking again [17:46] prince_jammys: /usr ...so where does /usr reside (what partition) / ? [17:46] kesi: hmm, odd. xorg takes up only 1% usage on my computer. strange. [17:46] hey [17:46] Frijolie: how many partitions do you have? [17:46] Shinji-: what do you mean "flash" ?:p [17:46] Pici: thx [17:46] Frijolie: are you coming from windows? ie are you a previous windows user? [17:46] prince_jammys: i have a 2GB partition for /swap, a 15GB partition for /, and the rest of my HDD for /home [17:46] is it possible to set up a printer on a desktop running ubuntu and have it be available on the network on my xp laptop [17:47] ok i find the solution [17:47] DJAdmiral, what does the xorg proc do?

I definately have some to spare [17:49] i'm running ubuntu with gnome [17:49] prince_jammys: /usr takes up space because all progs go there:: /usr/share/bin stores the executables, /usr/share/doc stores documentation/manuals that may come with progs,,, /usr/share/libs stores libraries ...... so a single program will have files in all those directories ... when uninstalled, they are found and removed [17:49] here's the current firefox error: raichlea@gilgamesh:~$ firefox [17:49] Segmentation fault (core dumped) [17:49] ghostlines: usually alt+tab, or F11, or Alt+Enter [17:49] kesi: segmentation fault?

[18:24] can anyone show me the link all effect with ubuntu ? [18:24] Why is my system reporting my memory to be 3477456K when I have 4 gigs? [18:25] my bios correctly says i have 4 gigs [18:25] ocha, well, im running the original (Warhammer 40k (first in quadrilogy)) but i have the same prob [18:25] rustmonster: that number is about 4 gigs [18:25] guys i still cant find a game boy advanced emulator? anyone know anywhere i can get one (not the repo -- it has no gui) [18:25] what browser will use a different cache/session than firefox [18:25] ? [18:25] rustmaster> Where is it reporting the 3,477,456K? [18:26] ocha: I have problems like that in steam games and i disble compiz [18:26] prince I thought that the number of K should exceed 4000000, since I gig = 1024 meg? [18:26] rustmaster> try 'cat /proc/meminfo'. [18:26] fdamstra: top is [18:26] rinaldi_, but thats not really a fix [18:26] rustmonster: 3.316 gigs is what i got [18:26] how can I grep the lines that begin with 1 and end with 14, with anything in the middle? [18:26] all others AngryElf, look into synaptic for some light http browser like galeon [18:26] rustmaster: any chance your video card uses shared ram? [18:26] MemTotal: 3477456 kB [18:26] fdamstra: yes! Aha! [18:27] rustmonster: that's an awful lot of ram to eat for memory though... [18:27] Bodsda: well it is wine you're running these games in? its recommended that you dont run compiz anyway [18:27] lgc: I'd run it through two greps. [18:28] rinaldi_, i run it in cedega [18:28] how to change file encoding from console ? [18:28] lgc: cat | grep -e '^1' | grep -e '14$' [18:28] I heard a rumor that I can migrate from etch to ubuntu using apt-get. How true is this? How likely is it to break everything? [18:29] rustmonster: short about 700 M or .68 gigs [18:29] fdamstra: why not just egrep '^1.*14$' filename ? [18:29] aunes: certainly possible but safer probably just to install to nother partition and reuse or backup /home [18:29] aunes: im sure there is a thread in the forums with howto though [18:30] Pici: that would work too, pici, and probably more efficient. [18:30] Hm, actually I doubt my video uses 716 megs of RAM [18:31] fdamstra, I just came to the conclusion that you are right. Though in theory "^1*14$" should do the trick, if I'm right. [18:31] Okay, I have a server running 6.06 LTS server. It boots fine, but networking doesn't work. ifconfig shows the correct IP information, but arp table remains empty. If I run /etc/init.d/network restart, everything starts working until the next reboot. [18:31] yes, cat blah | grep pattern === grep pattern blah [18:31] does anyone know how to set up a midi keyboard? [18:31] lgc: you're missing a . before the *. [18:31] for the jack server? [18:31] fdamstra, it doesn't work either. [18:31] Bodsda, the first dawn of war is supported? [18:31] http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/10/29/enabling-the-cube-in-compiz-fusion-on-ubuntu-710-gutsy-gibbon/ this guide mentions "System > Preferences > Advanced Desktop Effects Settings", but there doesn't seem to be any such menu item in my 7.10 install. what gives? [18:32] hello all. i have a problem- i have a cronjob, but it won't execute for some reason. i checked the path to the command, and it is correct. [18:32] ocha, nope none of them are [18:32] live cd wont boot a gui and reconfiguring doesnt work [18:32] lgc: both work in all my tests. Maybe there's something strange with your input. [18:32] bodsda: but the first one is working for you? [18:33] fdamstra, I actually want it to be 'grep -E "^1\ .*14$"'. [18:33] ocha, all three work for me , and the 4th demo version [18:34] lgc: You probably need to use apostrophes not quotes or the shell might try to glob that *. [18:34] bodsda: i didn't know there were a fourth one coming out? how do you get around the mouse leaving the directx app window? [18:34] fdamstra, let me try that... [18:34] my laptop specs say that it should only be up to 224MB of shared video memory [18:35] fdamstra, nah! It didn't work. [18:35] ocha, i use cedega -- or a windows install, copied over ran with wine -- only have the problem occasionaly, but its not very major,.,. [18:35] hi [18:35] lgc: can you paste a sample line you want to match [18:35] can someone tell me a good ftp client ? [18:36] hfmls: filezilla perhaps? [18:36] hfmls: gftp and filezilla are fine ftp clients [18:36] tx [18:36] i have a problem with my cron job not running, can someone help me please?

[18:37] ubuntu livecd wont load gui and it doesnt work after i reconfigure either [18:38] lgc: worked for me [18:38] Im thinking about switching to ubuntu from windows, anyone think this is the best thing to do? i want to have a better environment to program in but i still wanna be able to use my old windows programs... or at least some of them.. like poker [18:38] prince_jammys, I mean you, be my guest: '1 12.0290 -8.5444 12.8800 1.3126 14'. These are the patterns I want to catch. [18:38] bodsda, do you have problems with the mouse only in the first dawn of war? [18:38] lgc: grep -e '^1.*14$' [18:38] ocha, no, all of them [18:38] prince_jammys, it needs the space after "1", [18:38] lgc: followed by the filename [18:39] lgc: grep -e '^1 .*14$' matches the line you pasted [18:39] mthope-nosKill: u may want to keep windows in case ubuntu doesn't work for u. ive been trying for about 3 days and still cant get it to install but windows runs fine on my system. Just backup ur data before u do anything! [18:39] bodsda. how do oyu deal with that? i can't stand it. it's unplayible for me. do you use the arrow keys [18:39] hello, I want to enabled java into firefox. I don't want to use sun-java6-plugin since I have already installed java manually. I have done the link 'ln -s /my/path/jdk6/jre/.../libjava_oji.so /usr/lib/firefox/plugins'. When I try an applet I have no error but it's white. When I disable java into firefox menu, I't written 'java not supported'. What can be wrong ? thanks [18:39] lgc: space after 1 [18:40] Uhm.. i sorta pressed alt-shift-ctrl-f5 for some reason.. and it like.. did something O.o.. like.. X is gone, but still running, and the music is still playing.. === Boglizk_ is now known as Boglizk [18:40] Jordan_: thanks, do you know if you can still use most windows programs? do .exe work on ubuntu? [18:40] prince_jammys, 'grep -e '^1 .*14$' ' produces no output on my term. [18:40] ocha, no, i can still scroll acroos the screen with the mouse, aslong as i dont use the left hand sie -- i use the corners [18:40] bodsda, just letting you know, i can get dark crusade full screen mode to control the mouse, but the second i go into windows mode. i can't get it to lock down within wine for some reason [18:40] lgc: followed by the filename? [18:40] prince_jammys, of course. [18:40] ocha, could you not just maximise the window? [18:41] how do i make an input channel from my midi keyboard? [18:41] lgc: mmm i just pasted it in stdin and it showed a match, not sure whats up [18:41] mthope-nosKill: some work well and others dont work at all. office has opensources and basic software is fine. As for .exe files us an emulator like Wine. [18:41] guys can you help with this error please : bod@bod-desktop:~/Desktop/vbaexpress-1.2$ make sh ./misc/make_readme.sh ./misc/make_readme.sh: 10: Syntax error: "(" unexpected make: *** [first] Error 2 [18:42] bodsda, what do you mean? when im in windows mode, just max to fit the screen? [18:42] ocha, yer [18:42] prince_jammys, would it have to do with globbing, perhaps? [18:42] how do i make an input channel from my midi keyboard? [18:42] Jordan _: so if i use Wine that means i can use any exe program?? [18:43] mthope-nosKill: not every program is compatible. the simple ones usually [18:43] mthope-nosKill, no -- only some exe's --well most of them [18:43] do you think its gonna be hard for me to learn to use the OS? im a programmer and feel it will be useful to know how to use it [18:43] mthope-nosKill: almost any exe program. Some games dont work but most "normal" programs run fine [18:44] lgc: created a file with that line in it, ran the grep and it matched --- so i dont know whats going on [18:44] hello ubuntians [18:44] mthope-nosKill: ubuntu is easy to learn once you get into it. as for the .exe files go to winehq and there is an app database with ratings on compatibility [18:44] prince_jammys, hmm... I'm puzzled... [18:44] lgc: a GNU grep issue vs other grep?? i really dont know [18:44] rinalidi_ [18:45] rinalidi_: how do i get there? sorry im new to all this i dont even have it installedyet [18:45] prince_jammys, since we're both on Ubuntu with default term options -I suppose- that shoudn't be an issue. [18:45] is there a way to make grub work on demand (ie keypress) instead of having it always boot at startup? [18:46] mthope-nosKill: http://appdb.winehq.org/ just do a search on the left pane. howver there are many open source alternatives to windows programs, have a look for those before you install any .exe's [18:46] lgc: any special chars in the filename? [18:46] prince_jammys, nope. 'movies.loc'. [18:46] db92, what would happen if grub didn't work? (you need a bootloader, no?) === tyczek__ is now known as Tyczek [18:47] rinaldi_: thank you. so as far as programming goes ill still be fine? i program in java c++ xhtml that kinda stuff, it will all work in this OS? [18:47] in fact i need a bootloader for dualboot between oss [18:47] lgc: the folks at #bash can deal with this well [18:47] bodsda, it's already maxed, or at least maxed size within the panel bar [18:47] but as this is in fact my older brother's pc (ugh) and he doesnt "want" to see the bootloader appear at startup so it always boots up windows when it starts [18:47] ocha, and you dont like playing like that? [18:47] i was like "kay ill ask if it bootloader can be launched on keypress" [18:48] mthope-nosKill: im no programmer but im pretty sure you'll be fine with c++ [18:48] lgc: its grep city over there, they should be able to fix this [18:48] prince_jammys, good idea. Let me try luck there. [18:48] and here i am, for my idiotic brother's annoyance. so there is a way to make it work on keypress? :P [18:48] rinaldi_: ok thanks [18:48] db92: make it time out with 1sec and it will flash by [18:48] bodsda, full screen mode or windows mode? which one do you mean? [18:48] db92: you can set an option to hide grud and boot windows as default. you wont see it unless you press escape [18:48] rinaldi_: why do you use this os as opposed to others? [18:48] even better [18:48] ocha, fulscreen and maximized are different correct? [18:48] ali1234: press escape WHEN? :p [18:49] db92: it outputs a very short message like "press escape for boot menu" or something, iirc [18:49] aha :p [18:49] mthope-nosKill: well the main thing is that it works from go, i could go on though [18:49] bodsda, a little bit, you can see your panels bars it matters to me. i rather play in windows mode any day over full screen mode [18:50] rinalid_: what do you mean wit works from go [18:50] qolaz [18:50] wolas [18:50] rinaldi_: what do you mean wit works from go [18:50] hey guys, is programming for unix just c++?

[18:51] !cn | AngelBai [18:52] AngelBai: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [18:52] mthope-nosKill: with other os like windows, before I can get onto doing my day to day things, i have to install about 10 different programs, with ubuntu it comes with pretty much all the apps i need, and any programs i need are just a command away. you should give the livecd a try before you install anyway and you'll see for yourself [18:52] ali1234: What are it's potentials compared to blender, in your opinion?

I just ran across it and was trying to figure what it was. [18:56] Odd-rationale: blender of course is a full featured app that can rival commercial products (it used to be commercial) [18:56] when I boot ubuntu, I have to press alt+f1, otherwise nothing happens - the log afterwards shows that its trying to resume some image..anyone got an idea how to fix this?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [18:57] mysterycool: just ask a question and someone will probably help you :) also as Odd-rationale suggested the forums are a great resource [18:57] greetings, How do I build a package from source with all the 'configure' params that I want, as I would with FreeBSD?

I wanted to get peerguardian, but it doesn't work for linux. [18:58] ok so i am a newbie and i wanna know how to install software that are on that .gz or whatever format (those that i need to compile them in via those commands on the shell) and also how i can use Wine (the program that makes some window software run on linux). [18:58] tknudsen: first you need to install build essential: sudo apt-get install build-essential [18:58] rhx, Odd-rationale [18:58] tknudsen: then just build it like normal [18:58] *windows [18:58] novato_br: i have some experience, not alot but some, whats up?

[19:01] Is there a firewall in Ubuntu? I need to open up a port. [19:01] am i just not understandingt something here or what? [19:01] Okn: vmware should do it if wine can't [19:01] Docfxit: Are you using a router or something like that? [19:01] mark4: sure, unlock the fx icon and move it awawy [19:02] no [19:02] Pici: the 2007? I have the cd with the installation (cuz I had xp so far but they dies cuz i was stupid enough to make some stupid stuff while installation) [19:02] they are ALL unlocked [19:02] mark4: yes, sont drag it, after unlocking, right click again, and click move [19:02] hi there, im upgrading ubuntu and need to automaticly restart once finished, how can i do this? [19:02] pici: will it run? [19:02] mysterycool: Check http://appdb.winehq.org [19:02] ali1234, sagol ;) [19:02] if i try move one icon IN BETWEEN to others in instead drop the icon im moving ON TOP OF one of the others [19:02] pocketdrummer » yes but I'm on the lan not going through the firewall [19:02] ugh [19:02] mysterycool: Theres also Openoffice for Ubuntu that can open .doc files. [19:02] pocketdummer: its just cuz microsoft office have many more futures than oppen office [19:02] ok i see it now [19:03] if dragging is not the way to do it then dragging should not be an option [19:03] yeah i know openoffice. ive used it but i prefer the office of microsoft [19:03] mark4: If the icons are locked they won't move, thats by design. [19:03] docfxit: I was just asking, because my router has a built in firewall. I'm not sure if Ubuntu has its own. [19:03] !firewall | Docfxit [19:03] Docfxit: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [19:03] mysterycool: Fair enough :D [19:03] :p [19:04] mark4: dragging means to open a file with an app, like dragging a document onto open office icon or whatever... [19:04] pici they wernt locked. i had already unlocked them. but if dragging them with the mouse is not the way to move them (i.e. click on them and move the mouse) then it should not be an option [19:04] ] [19:04] ubotu » tx [19:04] Sorry, I don't know anything about tx - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [19:04] Is it possible to re-build the distribution in ubuntu, like FreeBSD 'make world'? [19:04] thats counter intuative [19:04] mark4: Drag them with the middle mouse button,. [19:05] pici: on windows the only game I played was guild wars (an online game like World Of Warcraft style). Will I be able to play it with wine? [19:05] pici: cuz i really loved that game :> [19:05] mysterycool: Check the appdb. specific application help in #winehq [19:05] MAGNETRON, thank you I am rebooting now [19:05] Hey all [19:06] i want to try out a newer version of pygame that what is available in the repos. if i install it from source, will it cause problems when i next try to update?

[19:08] ocha, if you're only on one server, Pidgin is OK, I guess [19:08] whats the difference of the Konsole and the shell? None of them is really graphical, I mean you have to write commands anyway :s [19:08] (the built in IRC client) [19:08] hello all what is the command to boot into failsafe x? [19:08] each time i want to start my apache server i need to run this cmd: [19:08] /usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl start [19:08] how i can make it run on start up ? [19:09] Hello... What is the more freindly tool to get remote access to my computer (Ubuntu Gumpsy from windows) [19:09] HYPOKRIT: use xrdp [19:09] Heh. Forrest Gumpsy! [19:09] maximillion, im on it now and I don't really like it. i would likie to get on multiple sever. if i remember correctly, xchat, i think it's call was good. any other options for irc clients? [19:10] ocha, xirc, irssi [19:10] Thanx liran [19:10] ocha, I come from mIRC, and XChat is like being home again :) [19:10] Hello, i have installed Gusty 64Bit on my laptop, after i installed nvidia drivers, i rebooted and got a black screen ... much info online, not resolution ... anyone know what could it be ? [19:10] In fact, it has a few nice extras [19:11] ZeD--: tried removing the splash screen? [19:13] Slart, not too concerned about the boot ... yea .. i know that issue... dont care much , at gdm / startx all i get is a black screen [19:13] ZeD--, I have nvidia, and just selected "generic nvidia 6800" (since it is my card) after install. Did you get drivers from nvidia.com? If so, did you install restricted-xxxxxx in Synaptic? I think it's needed for nonfree drivers [19:13] !restricted | ZeD-- [19:13] ZeD--: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [19:13] maximilion, whats is there a big difference between xirc and xchat? is irssi any good? which one do you use the msot? [19:13] yes i have tried both nvidia.com drivers and nvidia-glx-new ( which installes the restricted as a dependency ) [19:13] irssi is very good. [19:13] maximilion_: restricted drivers and drivers from nvidias site can sometimes conflict.. better to use one or the other [19:14] so is scrollz [19:14] xchat is stupid, because they charge for the Windows build. That puts me off. [19:14] :} [19:14] Slart, yeah, I could be wrong [19:14] ricky_clarkson theres a free windows build out there [19:14] mIRC runs fine on wine :} [19:14] ricky_clarkson lemme link you, one sec [19:14] hello ubuntians [19:14] MasterShrak: Yeah, I heard. I'm used to irssi anyway. [19:14] but ZeD-- I would give the generic drivers a shot before trying stuff from nvidia.com since it depends on so many things [19:15] ricky_clarkson http://www.silverex.org/download/ [19:15] lawl [19:15] Envy works best for all nVIDIA driver issues [19:15] Yeah [19:15] lawl [19:15] !envy | salik [19:15] salik: envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » [19:16] I've tried mIRC, XChat, and Pidgin. Pidgin was no option for me since I need multiple servers. I looked at xirc also, but it seemed like it had a bunch of loose windows, which I didn't want. [19:16] that was directed to ocha [19:16] xCHAT is the shit [19:16] lol [19:16] !ohmy | lawl [19:16] !language | lawl [19:16] lawl: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

[19:19] !lol | lawl [19:19] lawl: Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis.

[19:19] is there another place from where mplayer read the config files except /home/luca/.mplayer/config ?

[19:20] mysql works fine. i'm just wondering where the shared libraries live [19:20] lawl at first maybe, but when you figure it out, youll think exactly the opposite, and probably to more of an extreme [19:20] MasterShrak, thanks, i already tried that and now i will try keytouch [19:20] maxilion, thanks. i think im gonna install xchat again [19:20] cambazz: i got mysql and the C++ mysql devel libraries [19:20] ocha, xirc and irssi, never tried them.

[20:17] Jowi: wow, that's actually stretched more... That doesn't make sense... [20:17] pocketdrummer, how about "mplayer -zoom -aspect 16:9 filename" [20:18] how can i use hdmi guys ? [20:18] hey I upgraded to 7.10 with the Update Manager and it broke all my fonts they are just blackboxes!! [20:18] is it better to install video card drivers right off nvidia's website or through something like Envy, i have the 8600GT? anyone? [20:18] !envy | killux [20:18] killux: envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » [20:18] killux: !envy [20:18] Jowi: REALLY stretched. [20:18] hi folks =) [20:18] killux: neither -- get from apt [20:18] hah! never mind...i had something dodgy in my ld.so.conf file :-) [20:18] is the restricted manager take the drivers right on nvidia's website? [20:19] mjw-, ok, I got a whole different process this time, but it reads, Download done. md5sum mismatch install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz The Flash plugin is NOT installed. [20:19] pocketdrummer, ok, so the vid you are trying to watch is a bit strange. [20:19] anyone know of any good speech to text software for linux [20:19] anyone able to help me with trying to resurrect a seemingly not so dead hdd? [20:19] Lifeisfunny: Make sure that the gutsy backports and updates repositories are enabled. [20:19] ok [20:20] Jowi: It says it's 320x240 (codec: mpeg-1) [20:20] !nvidia | killux [20:20] killux: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [20:20] Lifeisfunny and make sure to run sudo apt-get update before trying to install it again. [20:20] is there any easy way to determine the version of an installed plugin? [20:20] pocketdrummer, what app are you using to play videos? [20:20] good evening [20:21] hey Tomi, Finnish? :) [20:21] maximilion_: mplayer [20:21] is there any changelist for hardy ?? [20:21] I'm running Hardy Alpha 4 in a VMWare Virtual machine and have the VMWare tools installed. After I open the vmware-toolbox, it runs perfectly for about 15 to 20 minutes and then the tools close. I can open them back up and everythings is fine but it closes again after 20 minutes or so. Is this a Hardy problem or a VMware problem? [20:21] when i open aplication ,there is no icon in the title bar ,anyone know about this? [20:21] !hardy | astabeno [20:21] astabeno: 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 [20:21] finish? [20:21] pocketdrummer, I use VLC, works fine here and you can set ratio. [20:21] mjw-, ok [20:21] ? [20:21] why? [20:21] Totem works in the correct aspet ratio, and I believe VLC does too, but both have problems with fast forwarding through the video, and VLC refuses to play it :_( [20:21] astabeno, sounds like an Alpha version problem ,) [20:21] Lifeisfunny the md5sum mismatch was a problem a few weeks back but should not be popping up anymore [20:22] prince_jammys: i understand but does the restricted driver manager install the same binaric drivers as this : http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_169.09.html [20:22] killux: restricted drivers = nvidia's proprietary drivers [20:22] ikonia, are u there? [20:22] pocketdrummer, strange. VLC plays old muppet show clips from 2000 and the latest vids. [20:22] killux: i don't know [20:22] mjw-: thank you === mateusz is now known as Usiu [20:23] in 1220 no one helps :) damn ....how can i use hdmi guys ? [20:23] Tomi, "Tommi" is a common name in .fi :) [20:23] L3ttuc3: thanks for the url! [20:23] no I'm hungarian [20:23] maximilion_: Yeah, usually it works, but this one just stops 1 second into it and stays there. [20:23] Tomi, yeah I saw that :) [20:23] Nibblyn not sure that will fix your brand of the problem. i've read about a few different ones, and im not sure where mine ends up either. [20:23] pocketdrummer, 1.19:1 is called "movietone" apparently. 35mm used in late 1920-1930. [20:24] Hungarian isnt Finn [20:24] pocketdrummer, well I think it is more about player compatibility than any setting. I'm not the right person to ask, all the vids that worked in XP worked in Linux :P [20:24] :) [20:24] Im working with a box that has no video output [20:24] :) [20:24] Tomi, no it isn't - but I didn't take a /whois before I said that ;) [20:24] what do I have to do get vncserver [20:24] and kde [20:24] pocketdrummer, try "mplayer -zoom -aspect 1.19:1 filename" [20:24] jowi: That's weird. [20:24] anyone up for helping with the god awful problem of gutsy + compiz + update = no window borders [20:24] or should this be out of the box [20:24] Hi, I have a question.. how do I upgrade to the lastest version of a package?

I coaxed my system into getting ubuntu64 to work (hooray) but I still have one problem. I am attempting to install the beta Sound Blaster X-Fi platinum drivers from creative and they are only meant for 64bit systems. When I run the script, I get an error that says the installation cannot continue because the Operating System isnt 64bit, but I am positive that I downloaded the 64bit distro and used that for my installation. [20:38] socketbind, what seperate program are you gonna use? [20:38] Ok [20:39] Hello I jave a question is there anyway to use the iphone on Ubuntu? to sync music and stuffs? [20:39] htaccess well if you change your screen resolution on the vnc server computer, it will change what the vnc server is exporting [20:39] bodsda: i believe imwheel is a separate program that starts with each X session [20:39] Azzco: What isn't working for you? [20:39] I translated PhotoFiltre Studio in 2007... [20:39] xinx: No need to repeat yourself (at least spell it correctly) [20:39] socketbind, i dont know, either way it doesnt affect your system (apart from iving you the mousewheel) [20:39] g [20:39] lindzeyn, "uname -a" should tell you what you are running [20:39] i see lines like "vncserver :2 -geometry 1024x768 -depth 24" via google [20:40] bodsda: o.k. thanks [20:40] np [20:40] ;~) [20:40] hello i have the linksys WUSB54G wireless adapter on this computer .... how do i set it up to work wireless???? ANy help would be appreciated .. thank you. [20:40] Right, I did that Jowi and it is confirmed that it is 64bit [20:40] but it looks like 7.10 is running a vnc server called vino?

[20:51] mjw-, ?? [20:51] but with a new installation i have a problem [20:51] mjw-, never mind then , lol [20:51] dimitri yeah, that's the thing. I had an RT73 based USB as well and it SEEMED ok during installation, but stopped working when not on the live cd [20:51] any clue other than "read the forum please"? I don't care about having a framebuffered console or a splash screen...but at least booting the system would be nice [20:51] liran, read this you may find it useful https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP [20:52] ok but the files that i can find in a .trash folder there aren't in the " main" trash (the icon on the desktop) prince !

[20:54] kikr: yes, but highly highly highly unlikely -- dont browse the web as root --- don't do anything as root, really [20:54] dimitri basically you need to go to a web site to download an updated kernel module, compile it yourself, etc. I can't find the link to the guide I had followed though. [20:54] perhaps some malicious script.. [20:55] good evening! [20:55] kikr: dont install random crap from the internet, stick to apt or trusted sources [20:55] how to test if an usb-stick has a mbr?

[21:34] leeping: You trying to install remotely?? [21:34] ph0rensic: Not really. Once the computer boots up with the LiveCD, I will use netcat to write an image of a pre-configured system to the hard drive [21:34] okay, i'm not EVER using this SD card in the computer again. [21:34] because I have twelve identical computers [21:34] leeping that is considerably more advanced than this channel is really designed to address. [21:34] ballongel: I'm only serving the kernel of the livecd [21:34] leeping: lol [21:34] leeping: why dont you look at clonezilla [21:35] Which file do you edit to change the module parameters of a wireless adapter? [21:35] misteralexander: you can execute the above command any time you want that trash can gone [21:35] hello everybody [21:35] misteralexander: windows does the same, creates a Recycled folder automatically [21:35] prince_jammys => stand-by for a patebin addy. [21:35] folk!!!!!!!!!!! [21:35] mjw-: I see what you mean and i played with those settings to no avail.. the ones in edit> preferences. [21:35] anybody knows any problems with installing windows after a format from within ubuntu? [21:36] misteralexander: pasting what? is there an error [21:36] ph0rensic, I've looked at systemimager, which I feel is similar, but those large program packages don't always work with new hardwaree [21:36] ciao a tutti [21:36] I can't seem to install xp on my HD [21:36] Tell me why do you chose linux as oyur s,o.??? [21:36] leeping: Well it was worth a shot [21:36] prince_jammys => http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56135/ [21:36] Photocopy i don't record anything in linux so i don't know what else to say [21:36] it used to work untill I formatted the disk with ubuntu [21:36] if I already have grub set up for another operating system, will ubuntu overwrite it, or just set it up to work alongside the other operating system? [21:36] ph0rensic, I'll look at clonezilla :) thanks [21:36] !ot > vincenzo [21:36] pe [21:36] leeping: Check it o9ut on sourceforge.net [21:37] somebody plz can help me configuring my home network? [21:37] misteralexander: oh boy [21:37] leeping: Has uni and multicasting like ghost [21:37] misteralexander: are you able to write to this thing? what is it? a partition? [21:37] leeping: says it supports ~40 pc's installing at once [21:37] Can anyone help me with audacity? I cannot get it to pick up my mic [21:37] yuy [21:38] tyutyuty [21:38] amd please dont spam [21:38] rufus_: i would expect ubuntu to prompt you before overwriting the mbr but im not totally sure. in any case ubuntu should autodetect the other os and set it up on its menu.lst so when it does overwrite the mbr on bootup you still have the choice of os [21:38] yeah, i've written to it using my Ubuntu desktop (this is my laptop // it has the smart-card reader). It's an SD card. [21:38] ph0rensic, that sounds pretty cool - I'll look at the documentation :) [21:38] Thanks [21:38] hfmls: you called === matt__ is now known as supergran [21:38] pike_, thanks [21:39] misteralexander: right now it seems you dont have permission to write to it [21:39] knowing I have properly (and working) installed ALSA driver for my 82801H (ICH8 Family) sound system.... someone know how to get internal mic to work ? === supergran is now known as muttonjeff [21:39] pike_: at the end of install you have to explicitly tell it not to overwrite, but it picks up other OS just fine, and recovery partitions too [21:39] misteralexander: try sudo rm -r .Trash-misteralexander [21:39] or make working an internal mic of a laptop inside ubuntu? [21:39] okay, hold on [21:39] thanksants [21:40] no same output. Read-only. [21:40] seriously. [21:40] I've got to be able to do this . . . I can write info to it and delete it but when it's in the .Trash folder it's untouchable???? [21:41] I installed ubuntu studio to record stuff and I cant get my mic to work. I need a hand here. [21:41] misteralexander: if you want to test that, try this touch testfile [21:41] anyone else have all their emerald theme engine's setting go to all 0 opacity? and any idea how i get back those settings? [21:41] okay, lemme see. [21:41] i got troubleshooting with sound :s [21:41] misteralexander: if you have permission, it will create an empty file called testfile [21:41] cannot touch 'testfile' system read-only. [21:42] Photocopy: its almost certanly just muted if you run alsamixer you can adjust the settings for the mic [21:42] misteralexander: so thats the problem ---- otherwise , rm -r .Trash-misteralex is all you would have to do [21:42] pike_: No, in alsamixer, unmuting it only makes mic input come out my speakers, audacity doesnt pick it up [21:43] doesn't use alsa only OSS?! [21:43] eerh [21:43] audacity [21:43] so what's the problem??? It's just read-only and that's that? I'm screwed? [21:43] audacity lets me use oss [21:43] misteralexander: this /media/disk you're in ;: what is it again? [21:43] i mean alsa [21:43] v_sec chances are its a compiz setting, by doing: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager you get a program called ccsm that you can mess with settings [21:43] an SD card [21:44] i can select my sound card (listed as an alsa thing) in devices in audacity [21:44] My "Navigon GPS" 4GB SD Card. [21:44] i cannot make my microphone work [21:44] errh...Photocopy: try to start audacity with aoss [21:44] detructor: How [21:44] first you have to install alsa-oss over the package repositories [21:45] Im having some problems with the gnome panel, it freezes and the cpu goes to 60% and stays there untill i kill it. It used to be ok.... [21:45] detructor: I don't like the sound of this package [21:45] then you've to start audacity via "aoss audacity" [21:45] oh... [21:45] misteralexander: paste the output of this (only one line, so don't need to pastebin): grep '/media/disk' /etc/fstab [21:45] do i need portmap to browse MS network ? [21:46] Photocopy: errh okay... [21:46] Faust-C i dont think so [21:46] detructor: I can select alsa devices in audacity [21:46] MasterShrak: thanks- so now this begs the question.... how do i have wobbly windows if "wobbly windows" isnt checked off as "enabled" in ccsm? [21:46] i cant browse my network even w/ smb apps [21:46] Photocopy: okay... [21:47] v_sec its probably a setting somewhere else [21:47] prince_jammys: pastebin only if more than one line long [21:47] v_sec: You might just have advanced desktop effects marked and not full compiz [21:47] detructor: It simply doest work [21:47] prince_jammys im glad you let yourself know that :) [21:47] MasterShrak: any ideas where? [21:47] v_sec not a clue since im not on my linux machine atm [21:47] PRINCE_JAMMYS => After hanging for a second it resulted in no output. Nothing happened.

[21:48] and what device is selected there? [21:48] yeah.

Any ideas? [22:16] Friez: sounds like a bug in GTK? Do you have libgtk2.0 and libgtk2.0-dev installed? [22:16] none: SIOCSIFFLAGS: Input/output error [22:16] v_sec: Just go to actions, and enable the key bindings [22:16] wait [22:16] danj: killall NetworkManager [22:17] and NetworkManagerDispatcher [22:17] how do you restart the gnome-panels? [22:17] 0+ [22:17] there needs to be an #ubuntu-level2 for harder questions [22:17] Starnestommy: also, things like "Wobbly windows" are turned off in ccsm, but my wobbly windows are working!? [22:17] I have evince loaded, with a pdf displayed....I bring up the print menu, select the printer, click the print button....nothing [22:17] Geoffrey2: can you print to PDF ? === adante_ is now known as adante [22:17] iter: there is, you pay for it ... ;) [22:17] I would rather staff it :p [22:17] danj: did lsmod show: iwl4965 + iwlwifi_mac80211 + cfg80211 ? [22:17] v_sec, believe they're enabled (in a different manner) via "Animations" [22:18] iter, why would I want to print TO pdf when what I want to print IS a pdf? [22:18] no-one running Gutsy with Nvidia drivers ? [22:18] MatBoy: I am [22:18] my first entry in the ubuntu chat is a question: I have a Medion laptop and i can't get my wireless network to work. It states that my radio is off but i can't seem to turn it on. Any1 having an idea? I found something on the dutch ubuntu pages but the link was dead [22:18] MatBoy: yes, i am [22:18] Geoffrey2: to begin troubleshooting the print process? [22:18] Starnestommy, what kernel version ? v_sec please tell me too :) [22:18] 2.6.22-14 seems to break the driver [22:18] 2.6.22-14-generic [22:19] I have that, too [22:19] need more specifics [22:19] seems to be working fine. [22:19] MatBoy: yeah, I had that problem too, are you using restricted-drivers? [22:19] ok, nice, what have you both done to make the nvidia driver run ? I have to reinstall every boot those packages and XFCE is not woring that wel thann [22:20] -n [22:20] Starnestommy: libgtk2.0 already been installed but not libgtk2.0-dev [22:20] v_sec, yep [22:20] ikkeson: does your laptop have a button for the WLAN to turn it on/off ? [22:20] Friez: install libgtk2.0-dev [22:20] When I try to change my resolution to 1280x1024, my desktop size increases but my resolution doesn't change. Now I'm scrolling around a huge desktop while still being stuck in 1024x768. [22:20] i just launch the installation [22:20] v_sec, possible to fix ? [22:20] hmmm.... i couldn't get it to work with that- i downloaded them right from nvidia [22:20] matboy, running with the latest nvidia drivers via Envy, works fine [22:20] !envy [22:20] envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » [22:20] sigh....ok, I found the problem..... [22:21] detructor: yep but that button is not working. I saw on the dutch forum that several ppl had the same problem [22:21] nothing change [22:21] Geoffrey2: what was it [22:21] prince_jammys: ill check back every day, but I really wanna get my recording underway. [22:21] Thirsteh, mhh ok... I was looking into that, but I need my own XFCE config because of 4 screens [22:21] rhyme lol [22:21] Envy isn't recommended, but the nvidia driver currently in the repository just happens to have an extremely nasty bug that causes a complete freeze on FX cards [22:21] Starnestommy: notthing change after the installation [22:21] which I happen to have [22:21] Panic: Failed to initialize GTK [22:21] again [22:21] ikkeson: I had the same problem: the solution for me was: rebooting and when GRUBD is displayed I've to push the button ;) [22:21] ok, so what should be a good solution now than [22:21] Friez: what's the first line of the shell script? [22:22] GRUB not GRUBD [22:22] I have this strange high frequency sound coming out of my case. I'm sure its pcspeaker. I muted him in alsa-mixer and removed and blacklisted mod. Anyone have any other idea ? I dont wanna disconnect it from mobo. [22:22] apparently the settings from my last print job were saved, so instead of defaulting to print all, it was trying to print page 3 of a 1 page document...... [22:22] I forgot: it is present when ever I play audio. [22:22] so there is no way to turn it off and on using bash?? [22:22] v_sec, how did you solve it ? [22:22] lo all, anyone can help me troubleshoot postfix and mailman integration? I keep getting user unknown errors [22:22] > chmod +x xtensoftphone [22:22] mad_max02: I'd just remove it, it's not like they're useful anyway [22:22] ikkeson: don't know...but I think not [22:23] detructor: because always on drains the battery like hell [22:23] Starnestommy: in Appearance > Visual Effects I have it set to "custom" and when i click Prefernces ccsm comes up with all the stuff that should / shouldnt be working incorrectly. any ideas? [22:23] to run the program i have to do > ./xtensoftphone [22:23] doc|work, yeah but I dont wanna do that as only solution. [22:23] Ikkeson: damn...sorry I don't have any other idea [22:23] *think* [22:23] wait [22:23] what is related to pc speaker except its mod ? [22:23] I can disable it at any time [22:24] this is the tuto http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56140/ [22:24] but only enable it on GRUB start [22:24] detructor thanks anyway [22:24] maybe it's the same for you? [22:24] i will try that [22:24] When I try to change my resolution to 1280x1024, my desktop size increases but my resolution doesn't change. Now I'm scrolling around a huge desktop while still being stuck in 1024x768. [22:24] MatBoy: download the 100.14.19 package from nvidia and use it to install [22:24] v_sec, ok :) will do that :D [22:24] ikkeson: would be fine if you come back and report ;) [22:24] i will [22:24] hi [22:24] Friez: is there a website or source distribution of that? [22:24] ikkeson: kay [22:24] I must admit, that's rather weird that the program would simply assume the last page range you specified would be what you wanted to print on everything from that point forward [22:25] v_sec, I will let you know [22:25] so i will be beack [22:25] cya later [22:25] kk [22:25] cu [22:25] everyone know this soft [22:25] hi there, just installed ubuntu..

[22:26] When i boot now, in grub menu, there are ubuntu, ubuntu mem and xp partition [22:26] Detructor: huh? [22:26] Friez, what version are you trying to install on the new computer? [22:26] when you dont touch keyboard for 10 secs, ubuntu loads... [22:26] oh, haha [22:27] how can i change this to xp (for my dad) [22:27] there is only one version for linux [22:27] and latest one [22:27] v_sec: "(23:24:25) Ikkeson: i will try that" (my "client") [22:27] (23:24:43) MatBoy: v_sec, ok :) will do that :D (your "client") [22:27] version 2.O [22:27] how do i play mp3s [22:27] Detructor: heh [22:27] nearly perfect I would say :D [22:27] hi all [22:27] hy [22:27] MatBoy, really recommend you use Envy to install the latest nvidia driver. For one it's easier and you only have to click your mouse 3 times, but most importantly it doesn't cause a conflict between the restricted manager and the nvidia driver (causing problems with being able to load Compiz etc.) [22:28] the same version on both compter [22:28] !grub > fancy [22:28] MatBoy, it's as simple as going to http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html , getting "Envy New", installing it and running it [22:28] Friez, ohh you are talking sip not ubuntu - you did not write it on one line so you did not come across well and so I misunderstood what you were saying [22:28] Thirsteh, I run Linux or years already, but this was an odd issue [22:28] can I change my video driver in terminal? [22:29] hello everybody, does anybody know how to skip fsck at the ubuntu boot, because it EVERY startup begin to check two fats partitions I have, and the startup is a bit long, and, by the way, it also leave the graphic mode a moment, and then fsck intialises text mode, and then come back to normal mode at gdm screen [22:29] how do i play mp3 [22:29] Detructor, I didn't get it btw ? [22:29] i try to install xlite on my ubuntu computer [22:29] Cyanide: install ubuntu-restricted-extras [22:29] I'm not doubting your competency, I'm just suggesting taking the easier route because the restricted drivers manager is gonna tackle you hard unless you edit its source (or use Envy which converts the nvidia package into a .deb called 'nvidia-glx-new' hence making the restricted manager think it's just a newer version of the normal driver) [22:30] CyanideD: install ubuntu-restricted-extras [22:30] anyone here against scientology? [22:30] !ot > en3r0 [22:30] Peanut what the cmd line [22:30] MatBoy: it was about that v_sec and me have the "solution" at the same minute for you and the other guy ;) [22:30] Thirsteh, you have a point there :) I first will try the older version O ? [22:30] O [22:30] OK ? [22:31] Detructor, life can be fun :) [22:31] MatBoy, hmm? Of Envy? Well, take the one that lists your card [22:31] i try to install xlite on my ubuntu computer using this instruction : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56140/ when i start to run this command ./xtensoftphone it display :Panic: Failed to initialize GTK [22:31] yep :) [22:31] alright, will keep on topic!

[22:32] Thirsteh, no the direct driver [22:32] yes i do Peanut [22:32] Is there a better way to track CPU usage than System Monitor? It's showing 100% usage in resources, but processes is showing jack for usage so I don't know what's slowing this computer down [22:32] what i have to do know ? [22:32] MatBoy, ah yeah, sorry. Sure [22:32] enderthethird: type "top" in terminal ;) [22:32] EnderTheThird: use top, or ps [22:32] Thirsteh, first alway sthe hard way :P [22:32] 1 second faster :P [22:33] gnome-panel's the culprit apparently. odd. [22:33] CyanideD: you can't install the ubuntu restricted extras in your country because is not legal [22:33] Detructor i think he's talking IO, that wont show up in top either, ive had that problem too. :( [22:33] hey guys [22:33] ive done it before on 6.06 [22:33] EnderTheThird: did you update today? ive seen several complaints about cpu usage in gnome-panel today [22:33] Lettuc3: who? [22:34] peanutwithchocol, I'm really lost in that legal and illegal part [22:34] someone know how to make working an internal mic of a laptop (dell)??? [22:34] *L3ttuc3 [22:34] pike_: yep. haven't restarted yet because I'm SSH'd to my home PC. [22:34] CyanideD: I don't know very well because I live in the European Union, but i have heared the are some codecs to play mp3 you can install, and they are legal, but i don't know how to get them [22:34] im writing a script to backup my ubuntu server, and im usinf mysqldump to backup the DB but it says it doesnt have access from root user no password, but i dotn want to write a password in plain text in the script, how can i deal with this? [22:34] ok then [22:35] anyone know the cmd line to unstall mp3 [22:35] Detructor what you said about top. when system monitor shows activity sometimes, in the panel, using top will not show what process is actually causing the use, if it is queued io requests or whatever. [22:35] EnderTheThird: could have been a bug introduced sounds like [22:35] Thirsteh, but the advantage of the envy way is ? I need to make my own xorg.conf still because I have 4 monitors on 2 cards [22:35] pike_: strange thing is that it's showing a different user than the one i'm actually logged in under. [22:35] * woodsoul needs coffee %) [22:35] Detructor at least, thats what i thought, i dont know. === kurumin is now known as Kevin-Moc [22:35] EnderTheThird: it should not [22:35] how do I restart the x server after I make changes to xorg.conf? [22:36] CyanideD: sudo aptitude purge ubuntu-restricted-extras [22:36] L3ttuc3: errh...okay ;) now I get it^^ === woodsoul is now known as woodsoul|away [22:36] hello [22:36] i try to install xlite on my ubuntu computer using this instruction : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56140/ when i start to run this command ./xtensoftphone it display :Panic: Failed to initialize GTK [22:36] xyblor usually logging out and back in should do the trick.

[22:36] MatBoy, the advantage is you get the latest drivers, not the "stable" driver locked in the repository. There is no real downside as far as I can tell, it doesn't cause any conflicts because it acts like a new version of the standard driver and it's as easy to uninstall as typing 'sudo envy --remove-all' (if a new standard driver is released etc, nothing will break) [22:36] CyaneideD: don't do that! [22:36] what's up ? [22:36] ubuntu-restricted-extras is a meta package! [22:36] MatBoy, for me, the stable driver caused freezes which I couldn't even SysRq out of X from, so it was ...heh, necessary [22:37] EnderTheThird: so ps aux | grep gnome-panel shows a diff user? [22:37] you will loose things like java as well [22:37] rufus_: it doesn't seem to work, but maybe I just haven't made significant enough changes to xorg.conf to notice a change [22:37] Thirsteh, ok [22:37] anyone know how to get the configure options for php? phpinfo() isn't reporting them [22:37] ompaul: ??

Anyone have any ideas? [22:40] the main difference is that aptitude removes unused dependencies by default, apt-get doesn't, unless you do apt-get autoremove [22:40] so it boils down to: chaos if you remove metapackages with aptitude, but not with apt-get [22:41] Thirsteh what about synaptic?

"This package provides the driver for the Intel i8xx and i9xx family of chipsets, including i810, i815, i830, i845, i855, i865, i915, i945 and i965 series chips."

[22:46] L3ttuc3, they are, and the immediate danger is a one-way thing really. The problem is, if you install a bunch of packages with apt-get deliberately and then later on decide to begin uninstalling with aptitude, aptitude won't know what packages you deliberately installed (i.e. NOT unused dependencies) and start removing stuff you might need [22:46] Ikkeson: sorry for that...

[22:50] TheMafia, is there no commandline installer for envy ? [22:50] mysterycool: check the second page.. "Third-Party Softare".. anything that looks like a cd-rom there? === JonathanS is now known as JonathanD [22:50] slart: ah yeah found it [22:50] !envy [22:50] envy is not needed or supported.

[22:51] hi all [22:51] cheesypieces: something like sudo apt-get install kde.* ? it will be a lot of packages though [22:51] hi all tooo === doc` is now known as kotsu [22:51] #ubuntu-br [22:51] slart: when i click it, there is an option called Revert [22:51] * kotsu waves [22:51] mysterycool: yes.. remove it.. delete it.. kill it with fire.. anything.. make it go away.. [22:51] in macosx, there is expose (f9) , what is the same effect in Ubuntu ? [22:52] mysterycool: no, that just means "Cancel".. isn [22:52] Slart: will that not install it all tho? i want to get rid of them all [22:52] cheesypieces: oh.. sorry.... mybad [22:52] NMajik: this is strictly speaking nothing to do with ubuntu but it might well signify that your router doesn't like the request - is it the correct version? otherwise which version of java do you have installed? [22:52] can someo one help me with getting my desktop on to my tv. I had it there before i moved over to linux [22:52] fancy, that dims everything but the focus window? [22:52] i'm clicking thru each thing individually its taking ages, there must be a quicker way [22:53] chhesypieces: sudo apt-get remove --purge kde* [22:53] slart: when i go to Authetication, there are two listings. One is Ubuntu Archieve Singing Key and the other one Ubuntu CD Image Automatic Singing Key [22:53] NigelS: I figured this would be a good place to ask because it looks like an issue with my java install. How do I determine my version/reinstall cleanly? [22:53] slart: and if i click on one of them, there is a remove option [22:53] Eh, not to interrupt, but the answer to mine might be short [22:53] Thirsteh, nope, it throws the windows away [22:53] mysterycool: nope.. either in Third party software or in ubuntu software [22:53] I'm on a WinXP partition, just installed Feisty Fawn; it seems I've put the Swap partition after the Linux partition. Should I just go back, delete both the linux and swap partitions, and try again? [22:53] I am searching for a program that can analyze logfiles does anyone have a tip ? [22:53] Detructor, no, no, no, no, no, no. [22:53] Thirsteh? [22:54] cheesypieces, sudo aptitude remove kubuntu-desktop if you absolutely have to [22:54] slarth: nothing about cd on those sections [22:54] slart: nothing about cd on those sections [22:54] mysterycool: hang on.. let me check.. it's supposed to be there [22:54] or so... [22:54] it's the same [22:54] slart: k [22:54] fancy, hmm, there's a plugin you can enable in the advanced compiz settings that makes the "Show Desktop" button in the lower left in Gnome do something similar [22:54] Detructor: yep that works, thanks [22:54] it's just called "Show Desktop" I think [22:55] and maybe sudo apt-get autoremove [22:55] NMajik: you may be using the gcj release rather than suns - if you use synaptic you can find your java installs - just search for those, if you don't have the sun jre then install that - to choose between them in future you can use the update-alternatives --config java [22:55] Detructor, no, it really isn't. [22:55] it is * is a wildcard [22:55] Yes, but your command is insane [22:55] it works :P [22:55] And it won't remove all of Kubuntu [22:56] it will, over dependencies...you'll have to run sudo apt-get autoremove [22:56] fight ;] [22:56] this will: [22:56] this will --------------------------- [22:56] Any package that's only used in KDE but not actually called 'kde' (libkde*, arts, etc) won't be removed === Monobi_ is now known as Monobi [22:56] well thats most of them anyway, thanks for that [22:56] mysterycool: ok.. on that first page.. "ubuntu software".. at the bottom there are some text.. "ubuntu cd gutsy bla bla". .with a checkbox to the left of it.. right? [22:56] Detructor, and well, it's simply dangerous [22:56] Thirsteh: but then they are *not relevant* and will be wiped away with autoremove [22:56] btw getting rid of kubuntu-desktop gets rid of hardly any [22:56] mysterycool: something like this http://www.watchingthenet.com/uploads/Image/ubuntupm3.png [22:57] how can i remote desktop from my XP pc to my ubuntu pc [22:57] pretender_: use vnc or similar === woodsoul is now known as woodsoul|away [22:57] slart: yeah [22:57] Detructor, using wildcards like that with something as dangerous as a --purge toggle isn't exactly a good way of doing things [22:57] Thirsteh: dangerous is sudo rm -f / [22:57] how do i mount a volume [22:57] mysterycool: uncheck that cd thingy.. ie click on the checkmark so it disappears [22:57] my chat window froze on me i had to restart. [22:58] mysterycool: then click ok [22:58] tried but its a little slow any way to improve it [22:58] Can someone help me with getting my desktop on to my tv, i had it there before i switched over to linux [22:58] * woodsoul|away is smoking a cigarette :Q [22:59] pretender_: well.. you can remove your wallpaper.. run with fewer colors etc.. or try that other one.. can't remember the name... [22:59] !vnc [22:59] VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [22:59] Thirsteh, mhh it need to download some packages ;) [22:59] NigelS: You were right I did have gcj and only bits and parts of sun's install. I'm downloading it now, will you be around for another 30 minutes or so? [22:59] !freenx [22:59] FreeNX is advanced remote desktop technology. For more information and install instructions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX [22:59] ah.. there it is.. freenx, pretender_ [22:59] slart: [22:59] This usually means that another package management application (like apt-get or aptitude) already running. Please close that application first. [22:59] ok thanks [22:59] do ubuntu and Kubuntu use the same kernel? [22:59] !lamp [22:59] LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [22:59] mysterycool: do you have synaptic running in the background? [22:59] MatBoy, yeah a few to help it do the magic [22:59] NMajik: most probably [22:59] Thirsteh, I hope so :) [23:00] er, what i have running? its just my first day on linux :s [23:00] Thirsteh, yes man Show Desktop did it..this is F10 in MacosX. Do you know what is f9 ? :P it cascades all the windows to desktop [23:00] mysterycool, 'Add/Remove Programs' or 'Synaptic Package Manager' probably [23:00] mysterycool: synaptic.. the graphical application where you can install stuff... if you have it open.. close it [23:00] rufus_, *buntu are all based upon the same base [23:00] !synaptic > mysterycool [23:01] no i dont [23:01] Thirsteh, quite amazing that install [23:01] fancy, no idea, sorry, but play around with the modules in compiz-config, there's a bunch that's deactivated [23:01] Does it matter if the Swap partition comes before or after the Linux partitition (I'm trying to double boot, and my Linux install doesn't boot) [23:01] Is there any way I can send a message to someone over SSH? I need a GUI dialogue box to appear. [23:01] kotsu, no [23:01] kotsu: nope [23:01] Malachi, yes [23:01] MatBoy, a little easier than doing it all by hand, I'd say :) [23:01] That is to say, I have a Windows install, a linux install, and a swap partition on my primary drive [23:01] kbrooks: Oh, great. Do you know how? [23:01] Malachi: I don't think ssh can do that.. samba can [23:01] In that order [23:01] And the Windows boots from the get-go [23:01] kotsu: order doesn't matter [23:01] Slart: That'd be fine, too. How? [23:01] kotsu: It doesn't matter what order your logical drives are. [23:01] Malachi, there is a way which exploits a security vulnerability in ssh (which unfortunately is a bit too impractical to fix) === erle64- is now known as erle- [23:02] Slart, it can [23:02] can someone help me with my ipod, in amarok it says it could not create a lockfile on the ipod [23:02] Thirsteh, for surem thanks for convincing me :) [23:02] Malachi: smbclient -M 111.222.333.444 [23:02] Slart, with X11 forwarding [23:02] slart: i dont [23:02] ssh user@host is the syntax? [23:02] Can someone help me with getting my desktop on to my tv, i had it there before i switched over to linux [23:02] kbrooks: Oh really? Ew. I smell Net Send problems if Linux gets a bit more mainstream.... [23:02] kotsu, it doesn't really matter. Some recommend putting Swap on the outer tracks ('Ending' of the drive in the partition manager, I think) but it's really a small difference if any [23:02] Slart: Thanks. [23:02] Malachi, the remote host linux or windows please [23:02] kotsu, so I wouldn't worry about it no [23:02] So, then that's not the problem [23:02] kbrooks: Both are Linux machines running Ubuntu. [23:03] MatBoy, anytime [23:03] But GRUB or however isn't working, if it was indeed installed by Feisty Fawn === woodsoul|away is now known as woodsoul [23:03] i`m runing ubuntu on vmware there is a way detect my 8800GT card ? [23:03] kbrooks: ah.. but that's part of x11 forwarding.. isnt't that like saying ssh can send email.... if you run an email client using a ssh console =) [23:03] Malachi, not so hard to do, here's the link ...

[23:05] Thirsteh, but on that 2.6.22-14 kernel, my terminal will not start in XFCE... maybe because I run a 64 bits version that is not a good idea ? [23:05] Malachi: you're welcome [23:05] Malachi, the way to fix that is at the source, which is YOU. NEVER use X11 forwarding on servers that you don't trust that have X11 [23:05] how do i compile a program???! [23:05] Thirsteh: thanks [23:06] hwllo, just a question [23:06] mysterycool: any program in general or do you have one in mind? also, why? :) [23:06] hello [23:06] mysterycool: apt-get install build-essentials [23:06] JosiahW: perhaps =/.. if it's anything like syncing a phone you've quite some work ahead of you [23:06] how can i get running java in Ubuntu 7.10? [23:06] MatBoy, try launching the terminal from some other terminal (xterm or something) and check the output. I doubt it's because you're on 64-bit [23:06] kbrooks: Okay, thanks. I just need it to send a message to one of my clients since he doesn't use IM software. [23:06] better, in firefox? [23:06] Malachi, ssh -x user@host to disable X11 forwarding, iirc [23:06] elhoir: open synaptic, search for java and you can install it from there [23:06] !java | elhoir [23:06] Slart: it is a phone :) a smartphone/pda [23:06] elhoir: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository (in !Backports for !Edgy) [23:06] FD_F, welcome [23:06] mysterycool: please be patient...

Works fine in XP and from earlier versions of Ubuntu. Any ideas?

En esta sala no se puede hablar otro idioma que no sea inglés [23:10] steve176: I have one of those too.. it works nicely in ubuntu... needs a properly power-supplied usb port though [23:10] Malachi, I'll leave it at that [23:10] !repos | mysterycool [23:10] mysterycool: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections.

Actually, I have a copy of that book. I don't remember reading that.... [23:10] mysterycool: repositories are huuge software archives.. like a ftp server.. where you can get your software for ubuntu [23:10] Slart: well, maybe I can get something going through wine [23:10] Slart - same machine is dual booted to WinXP and works on the same USB port [23:10] how does the ssh command work? ssh user@host ?

Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ [23:11] Malachi, and you may be observant enough to conclude that X security is VERY primitive [23:11] JosiahW: give it a try.. though I think getting usb connectivity working with wine might be tricky as well [23:11] Eh, hopefully I'm not being repetitious here, but I didn't get the reply I was looking for earlier [23:11] I'm having issues with GRUB [23:11] That is to say, it doesn't show up [23:11] steve176, try manually mounting it manually from the terminal http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=678047 that page will give you some information they talk about a seagate but it will help you too [23:11] slart: how do i get that tcl/tl whatever from the repository? [23:11] elhoir: what does about:plugins from within firefox say about its currently install components? you may need to switch from using gcj using update-alternatives --config java [23:12] Not yet, will try [23:12] kbrooks: Mm.

[23:13] mysterycool: if you don't know really basic details at this stage you prob shouldn't be trying to compile software - go ahead and read some docs; i.e. open up synaptic and search for tcl [23:13] Slart, aMSN, he needs the header files (-dev) [23:13] thanks, although think I'll need to mount is as FAT [23:13] Thirsteh: isn [23:13] Has anyone gotten RealPlayer to work on Gutsy 64-bit?

[23:14] elhoir: in the browser address bar - type about:plugins then firefox will list its installed plugins, see what it thinks is installed (I'm assuming you've restarted all FF instances since installing java) [23:14] slart: i am trying to install aMSN a linux version of msn messenger (quite like it basically) and it needs that tcl/tk whatever thingy [23:14] Malachi, bye :-) [23:14] Slart, I am sure amsn is in the repos I use it ^^ [23:14] Slart, yep, guessing he either needs a newer version or he hasn't seen "Add/Remove"/"Synaptic" [23:14] !info amsn [23:14] amsn (source: amsn): An MSN messenger written in Tcl.

[23:17] _Oz_, ok, for the login screen, go to system > admin > login window [23:17] MatBoy, can you show me the error, and if you can't see it/them, can you try launching the terminal from another terminal (so you get any output) [23:17] NMajik: if you're sure that you're now actually using Suns JRE then I'm not sure - have you tried resetting your router before trying again? You should prob check any mailing list these guys have [23:17] NigelS: i firstly installed from rep, sun-java6-plugin, but it didnt work, then i installed from firefoix [23:17] <_Oz_> yes?

[23:19] elhoir: right - that could have messed things up somewhat - if you mean that you downloaded Suns package, then I'm not sure as to where it installs its plugin [23:19] i tried /dev/sda2 as being partition 2, but GRUB said it didnt exist === Kyle__ is now known as Silerx [23:19] Oh, nvm. [23:19] Thanks. [23:19] no word on getting the home key to work in terminal? [23:19] Toastin, what does it say? [23:20] elhoir: let's see what is going on; first off what do you see when you type update-alternatives --config java [23:20] _Oz_, when u have downloaded a theme you can go there and either press the add button and find the theme or drag and drop the theme file into the list [23:20] Nothing. I get a blank screen with a white cursor in the top-left corner. [23:20] daysleepr, it works fine on mine === rob_p_ is now known as rob_p [23:20] Toastin, what have you done [23:20] ? [23:20] anybody wanna explain why i ordered my fiestyfawn free cd like 5 months ago and am still waiting for it? [23:21] Nigels: i am in another pc with the irc, please wait a minute [23:21] :-/ [23:21] I inserted a disc with the .iso file on it into my cd drive, pressed enter and it was supposed to start mounting [23:21] but it never did [23:21] Toastin: you need to burn the .iso file AS a cd image [23:21] slart: its not working [23:21] Silerx...you can check on the status of your order at the shipit website...it will say request not approved if it didnt go through. [23:21] !shipit [23:21] Toastin, don't copy it burn it [23:21] shipit is a service that sends free Ubuntu, Kubuntu and Edubuntu CDs. See http://shipit.ubuntu.com/ and http://shipit.kubuntu.org and http://shipit.edubuntu.org - Shipit will send Gutsy (7.10) CDs [23:21] slart: i mean i downloaded it and opened it but it wont sign in [23:21] How do I list the permissions of a usb memory stick? [23:21] can someone help me install a printer driver? [23:21] NigelS: i am Elhoir, im going to pase the output: [23:22] well it was from "ubuntu linux for dummies" they guaranteed it would work [23:22] MatBoy, ah, you meant X. I'm sorry, I have to go, try googling "FATAL: Error running install command for nvidia", a bunch of people seem to have had similar problems [23:22] elhoir@elhoir-portatil:~$ update-alternatives --config java [23:22] Hay 4 alternativas que proveen `java'. [23:22] Selección Alternativa [23:22] ----------------------------------------------- [23:22] 1 /usr/bin/gij-4.2 [23:22] 2 /usr/bin/gij-4.1 [23:22] elhoir_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:22] slart: and at the beginning when i first tried to run it it poped up some errors of language not supported [23:22] anybody wanna explain why i ordered my fiestyfawn free cd like 5 months ago and am still waiting for it? [23:22] told ya i need that damn tcl! :@ [23:22] !pastebin | elhoir_ [23:22] elhoir_: 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) [23:22] mysterycool: I [23:22] Thirsteh, yes I know... I will... 0:30 here also again :) [23:22] i keep checking it and it says that it sent it as well as the gusty gibbon cd i ordered like a couple of weeks ago and that hasent shown up yet either. [23:22] Silerx, dont wait anymore, go buy a CD of gutsy gibbon [23:22] mysterycool: I've never used amsn.. I can't help you with those errors.. ask the channel [23:22] Thirsteh, thanks so far :) [23:23] I agree with slart [23:23] anybody can help with aMSN? [23:23] Silerx, well it can take a LONG time to deliver the cd to you [23:23] NigelS: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56146/ [23:23] Hm. Anyone here have experience with Azureus? [23:23] i already downloaded it and burned it but i want to know why it didnt come even thogh it should have. [23:23] or...if you have a good connection to the internet, download the iso file and burn it to a cd [23:23] mysterycool, you don't. Run amsn from the terminal and look at the error [23:23] s [23:23] When I rm something (or rm -r something), where does it go? [23:23] Silerx, it just can take a long time. [23:23] mikebot: is this a philosophical question? [23:23] I just reinstalled it, and I used to be sharing a bunch of torrents, but I'm not entirely sure hwo to share them again.... anyone have an idea? [23:23] tyrone: and i do that how? its my first day on linux -_- [23:24] Silerx, you arent paying them [23:24] mikebot: it doesnt 'go' anywhere. its gone. [23:24] Any recommendations on an app that will track wifi points in the area? [23:24] Pici: I thought it could be recovered. [23:24] @kbrooks, i know it can take a long time but 5 months?!? [23:24] Slart: Heh, unfortunately no. [23:24] mikebot, it's removed from the hard drive permanently [23:24] tyrone: it was a purchased disc, came with a "for dummies" book [23:24] mikebot, permanently as in it WILL be overwritten [23:24] mikebot: it's gone.. poof.. ceased to be.. an ex-file if you wish =) [23:24] Then what's the difference between rm and shred? [23:24] hi all [23:24] mysterycool, ok open a terminal [23:24] elhoir_: ok, now go to /usr/lib/firefox/plugins and type: ls -al [23:24] mysterycool, and type amsn [23:24] i 'd like to use infra port to send/receive files with my handphone [23:25] mikebot, shred just makes it even MORE harder to recover the file [23:25] Toastin, I can't help you then ask the dummies book [23:25] mikebot, by overwriting the file [23:25] Can ubuntu use RPM packages?? Or if not where can i find info on compiling, because i found the sources, but i don't have a clue on what to do witi these sources. noob for life i guess [23:25] mikebot, many, many times [23:25] kbrooks: Oh, hehe, OK...can you shred folders? [23:25] mikebot, no. [23:25] while adding users. there a primary group and theres an secondary group options. what do secondary group option do? [23:25] ok so i just put a dvd in my drive and its popped up the dvd creator file browser. is it possible to make a backup of my / partition in here? [23:25] if i install the server edition, can i add a GUI to it? [23:25] its live. im booted to it [23:25] !permissions > Scunizi [23:25] tyrone: it just poped up amsn now but no error :s [23:25] kbrooks: OK, thanks a lot for your help.. [23:25] Bye all. [23:25] mikebot, uum [23:25] mikebot, stop [23:25] !alien | lkkeson [23:25] lkkeson: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) [23:25] mysterycool, try loggin in [23:25] ? [23:25] mikebot: I'm not sure.. shred might write stuff over the file repeatedly so it's harder to recover [23:25] NigelS: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56147/ [23:25] bye [23:26] its logging in! ;) [23:26] Slart: Thanks. [23:26] lo all, anyone can help me troubleshoot postfix and mailman integration? I keep getting user unknown errors [23:26] hi! [23:26] i 'd like to use infra port to send/receive files with my handphone [23:26] mikebot, i can give you my email so that you can contact me for more help iif you want [23:26] :o [23:26] it works! :> [23:26] while adding users. there a primary group and theres an secondary group options. what do secondary group option do? those are : audio, cdrom, dialout, floppy, lpadmin, plugdev, scanner, video [23:26] :D :D :) [23:26] tyrone and slart: thanks :D [23:26] kbrooks: No, that's really all I needed. [23:26] Where can i find my trahs folder in ubuntu? [23:26] mikebot, ok bye [23:26] you're welcome, mysterycool [23:26] yah mysterycool no biggie... [23:26] Bye. [23:27] MasterMel, it's in ~/.Trash [23:27] can i add a gui to the server edition? [23:27] MasterMel: all over the place.. there's one in your home folder.. and one on each drive I think... search for folders named .Trash [23:27] ;) [23:27] :D [23:27] Jordan, yes [23:27] Because i only can find the RPM packages, where can i find info on compiling, because i found the sources, but i don't have a clue on what to do witi these sources. noob for life i guess [23:27] Jordan, it's fine to... [23:27] <|unjustice|> Hi [23:27] kbrooks: how? [23:27] Jordan, but servers dont NEED a gui [23:27] Liono: a user can be member of many groups e first one it enters is the primary one but there is no actual difference between primary and secondary [23:27] hey does anybody know if u gotta pay for a virtual machine? (just asking cuz i am searching it for something that i wanna do :p) [23:27] Jordan: apt-get install x-window-system [23:27] mysterycool, np ^^ you one the first guys i've helped i am a noob too but i am learning!! [23:27] Jordan, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [23:28] elhoir_: ok, and ls -al /etc/alternatives/firefox-javaplugin.so [23:28] bAndie91, no... [23:28] ok [23:28] mysterycool, not really [23:28] mysterycool, er i misunderstood [23:28] i know they dont need it, but i dont know linux commands [23:28] kbrooks: whats no? [23:28] mysterycool, from VMware? [23:28] mysterycool, no - a flat no [23:28] kbrooks: ? [23:28] elhoir_: you may also have plugins installed in your home dir in ~/.mozilla - make sure this isn't so as they could override the default [23:28] mysterycool, hmm... [23:28] erUSUL ok. and that will increase its privaliges? where can i know the privilages of each group? and what groups are sudoers? need details [23:28] Why is it when I try to execute a .bin file in bash I get a -bash: ./whatever.bin: No such file or directory? I have done a chmod +x to it and have tried running it via sudo as well [23:28] mysterycool, rephrase your question [23:28] so i can like get a free virtual machine and run another os on it and access it via my pc? and this is free? :s [23:28] elhoir_: if everything looks ok we can try deleting your plugins data file then ff will rebuild it [23:29] i 'd like to use infra port to send/receive files with my handphone [23:29] Jordan, you do realize that eventually you will have to learn linux commands...even the GUI version has to dig into a CLI sometimes. [23:29] mysterycool, you can't "get" a free VM [23:29] mysterycool, you have to "make" one ;-) [23:29] ..? [23:29] make..? [23:29] speeddemon8803, i know [23:29] Hello [23:29] mysterycool, yes the software for the virtual machine is not free unless it is linuz [23:29] linux* [23:29] mysterycool, as in, you need to create a new virtual hard disk [23:29] mates I just installed ubuntu but my mouse is real slow I have set it to max is there any other way to increase the speed? [23:29] kbrooks...i actually followed that lol [23:29] tyrone, not so [23:29] i'd rather ease into linux...like i did w/ ms-dos lol [23:30] and where is this virtual hard disk stored? :s [23:30] NigelS: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56148/ [23:30] mysterycool, anywhere you want. can i show you? [23:30] linux cli and dos are somewhat similar... [23:30] mysterycool, in you hard drive. it is just a big file [23:30] kbrooks: yes plz! [23:30] Where are usb flash memory sticks mounted by default? [23:30] tyrone: yes..? [23:30] elhoir_: aha, well we've found the fault [23:30] tyrone: so it is basically in your own pc..? :p [23:31] mysterycool, yeah [23:31] what is the problem?

[23:32] mysterycool, it is just a program that will let you run a machine. To tun windows on ubuntu maybe, fun whatever [23:32] they are'nt that similar; ms-dos commands are more logical [23:32] mysterycool, do you accept private messages? did you see my pm? [23:32] i 'd like to use infra port to send/receive files with my handphone, what program should i use? [23:32] Where can i find info on compiling? I have source codes to a driver, but i am still a noob on Linux. [23:32] Slart, I formatted it a while ago and gave it a name of "EDGY". there is a listing in /media for EDGY but I can't cd into it. for some reason ..

[23:33] Scunizi: try "sudo chmod a+rw /media/edgy"... replace /media/edgy with the correct path [23:33] Merkidemis: you are not in the correct directory. type ls to list contents of the dir then youll see Desktop so cd Desktop and ls again youll see the file and if you run chmod now itll work [23:33] what groups are sudoer groups by default? [23:33] Slart, thanks I'll try.. it had a dirty unmount and then was inaccessable. [23:33] Liono: admin [23:33] Pici any more?

[23:40] vladanian: So, I was told that linux doesn't install things to a designated folder (like program files in windows), so how do you know where things are installed?

[23:40] pocketdrummer: linux does put things in specific places -- by convention -- but just like windows, the files could be installed anywhere [23:40] _Oz_, when u have downloaded a theme you can go there and either press the add button and find the theme or drag and drop the theme file into the list [23:40] MagoonD, that depends on why its so slow... what h/w are you running?

[23:46] NogelS: file or directory not foun [23:46] pike: I'm not THAT much of a noob (got the stuff installed and working for my RAID card, for example), so I know about chmod and the like. This vexes me. [23:46] eekrano, yes i do [23:46] rufus_, did you config the grub? [23:46] pike: it makes no sense. it looks like it SHOULD be able to run just fine, but doesn't [23:46] NigelS: file or directory not found [23:46] <_Oz_> slart: please describe what is involved so I may determine if it is something I want to undertake. [23:47] elhoir_: that would be why it didn't work :) [23:47] Merkidemis: seems odd. dunno man [23:47] Vladanian: Tried both in usr/bin, neither work. It opens Rhythymbox, but they won't play. [23:47] MagoonD, are you using a gfx card or just whatever came with the mobo? [23:47] Anyone know if the package "unrar" will properly extract split archives? [23:47] !splash [23:47] To change the Gnome splash screen, use !gnome-splashscreen-manager or change the GConf key /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image using !gconf-editor. [23:47] pike: odd is exactly the reason I came here. [23:47] pocketdrummer: you put in /usr/bin/rhythmbox in the "use a custom command" box and it didn't work? [23:47] Merkidemis: ls |grep .bin | xargs -i bash {} :-) [23:47] eekrano, graphics card in laptop [23:47] !usplash [23:47] 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 [23:47] ah [23:47] vladanian: Yep. [23:47] pocketdrummer: are you sure it's installed? [23:47] there is a link there, _Oz_ [23:48] anybody here who can help me out with oracle because oracle is not listening the http port 6065 ?? [23:48] NigelS:: what could i do? [23:48] <_Oz_> slart: that doesn't seem too bad. [23:48] <_Oz_> slart: thanks for that. [23:48] did Terminal Server Client pakage update and get borked? [23:48] _Oz_: you [23:48] pocketdrummer: I just did exactly that on my machine and it worked [23:48] Merkidemis: do you want to pastebin the output of ls -l in the directory the .bin should be in? not sure what else to tell you ;) [23:48] _Oz_: you're welcome.. I'll be sure to pass all questions about it to you then ;) [23:48] elhoir_: what's the contents of /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun ? [23:48] MagoonD, try turning off some of the "nice to have's" like wobbly windows and rotating cube for a moment and tell me if you see a speed difference [23:48] where would I find the .config for the ubuntu hardy heron kernel? [23:48] vladanian: Maybe I should reinstall? I mean, I can open rhythymbox and play it, but I can launch rhythymbox by clicking on the song... it's weird. [23:48] pike: after the grep -> hldsupdatetool.bin: cannot execute binary file [23:48] flashplugin-nonfree on 64-bit gutsy fails the md5 test after downloading the tgz from adobe... [23:49] does flash plugin work on 64 bit? [23:49] rustmonster: again? [23:49] rufus_-> what is the problem? hda vs sda ? [23:49] eekrano, i just turned everything off when you mentioned it and same thing [23:49] <_Oz_> Slart: this link describes the procedure for Edgy. I'm running Gutsy. Is it still good? [23:49] rustmonster: it works for me now on 64-bit [23:49] Slart: what do you mean? [23:49] Merkidemis: also what is the *exact* command you are trying which is failing? [23:49] Vladanian: In fact, it doesn't work if I right-click and tell it to use rhythymbox... [23:49] MagoonD, you're using compiz i assume? [23:49] astro: ./hldsupdatetool.bin [23:49] _Oz_: oh.. it might have changed.. I think I read something about gutsy using a newer version or something.. [23:49] pocketdrummer: it just does nothing? [23:49] eekrano, yes [23:49] NigelS: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56151/ [23:49] Merkidemis: ls -l should show like : -rwxr-xr-x the x is the executable bit that has been set. [23:50] <_Oz_> Slart: damn! That's the only downside to the documentation... it constantly gets outdated. [23:50] MagoonD, do you have the same problem if you're using metacity? [23:50] rustmonster: I use the flash plugin for 64bit.. it was broken about 2 weeks ago but got fixed [23:50] the filename is version 9 [23:50] eekrano, i dont have metacity what is that? [23:50] I wanted to install kvm from hardy.....I have gutsy setup now [23:50] astro: -rwxr-xr-x 1 merkidemis merkidemis 3513408 2008-02-11 18:56 hldsupdatetool.bin [23:50] <|twiser|> can ark handle .rar files? [23:50] hm... okay... [23:50] how can I setup pinning to download kvm from hardy? [23:51] astro: see, this is why after a lot of swearing I came here [23:51] Merkidemis: and ./hldsupdatetool.bin does nothing? [23:51] danh1: why not just download the deb and install that only [23:51] oh well, i'll run windows for the time being and reinstall gutsy later [23:51] _Oz_: indeed.. there might be something newer out there.. I haven't found it though [23:51] MagoonD, if you do "metacity --replace" in a terminal does that speed things up? [23:51] Merkidemis: indeed [23:52] elhoir_: did you copy and paste what I typed before or type it accross? maybe you made a typo?from that directory do you have a jre/plugin/i386/ns7 dir? [23:52] pike: it spits out the "no such file or directory" error, even though it lets me tab complete the name [23:52] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4338884 [23:52] maybe someone can help? [23:52] <_Oz_> kbrooks or slart: I can't seem to change my "theme" in Gutsy despite downloading a new one from Gnome-Look. When I go to install, I select the tarball and it says invalid format. Thoughts? [23:52] |twiser|: I don't know about ark.. but file-roller handles rar-files.. if you install rar first [23:52] <_Oz_> (For the login screen, the tarball was fine.) [23:52] vladanian: Well, it opens, then says not playing (where the track information goes when you play a song)... then closes rhythmbox altogether. [23:52] eekrano, no it doesnt [23:52] _Oz_: nope.. no idea.. haven't really tried downloading new themes [23:52] Merkidemis: what if you do 'sh hldsupdatetool.bin' [23:53] anyone know a good pastebin [23:53] Slart: How can I find/download the deb? [23:53] !paste | johnny_ [23:53] MagoonD, did your effects go away? [23:53] johnny_: 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) [23:53] <|twiser|> :~$ sudo apt-get install unrar-free [23:53] <|twiser|> Password: [23:53] <|twiser|> E: Type '“deb' is not known on line 44 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list [23:53] <|twiser|> E: The list of sources could not be read.

I don't really know what that should... This is no fake: http://pastebin.ca/905724 [23:54] MagoonD, .... hmmm... your hard drive light keep going or something? [23:54] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56154/ [23:54] Merkidemis: pastebin it if you want [23:54] can someone tell me what the problem is [23:54] pocketdrummer: and you can play an ogg in rb, just not by clicking on it? I have no idea why it's not working. [23:54] eekrano, no i dont think its a hardware or performance issue [23:54] astro: well, its on the other computer and cygwin isn't letting me cut and paste from it [23:54] unknown user 'postfix' ? [23:55] how stable is gutsy ? [23:55] how do i fix that [23:55] MagoonD, is your cpu maxed out? [23:55] mar77i: apt is not the name of the program you want. [23:55] eekrano, there has to be a file that stores the speed somewhere for mouse acceleration [23:55] vladanian: Yeah, I'm stumped too. [23:55] eekrano, not at all [23:55] danh1: no.. I mean.. download the deb using packages.ubuntu.com.. then install it using "sudo dpkg -i yourdebfilehere.deb" [23:55] mar77i: apt != apt-get [23:55] Merkidemis: what's the first line? [23:55] Pici: why is anyone thinking I need sun-java6 for that??? [23:55] i upgraded from dapper to edgy and now i cant install anything [23:55] astro: lots of random ascii characters in the bin, though it starts with ^?ELF^A^A^A^@^@^@^@^@^@ [23:55] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56154/ [23:55] does anyone know how to fix this [23:55] is gutsy stable comparing to Feisty Fawn ? [23:55] elhoir_: right, so let's try what we tried before - firstly delete firefox-javaplugin.so from /etc/alternatives [23:55] Slart: I gotcha. I meant I didn't realiez you could downlaod from packages.ubuntu.com [23:55] MagoonD, mouse acceleration? thats it? i thought you were referring to overall speed [23:55] gutsy is just fine [23:55] Merkidemis: oh okay it is actually a binary [23:55] I mean, not buggy the whole time :) [23:56] sponger, ok :) thanks [23:56] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4338884 [23:56] maybe someone can help? [23:56] eekrano, no just mouse accelration sorry for the confusion [23:56] astro: its the dedicated server stuff for Steam games, like TF2 [23:56] MagoonD, heheh, sorry for makin you go through all that! one sec.. [23:56] NigelS: already deleted [23:56] MatBoy: it works for me [23:56] <_Oz_> slart: I have updated info for you. Simply do an add/remove or run synaptic and search for "startup manager" and you can control all the usplash stuff from the GUI. [23:56] astro: of course I can't get the UT3 bin to run either [23:56] eekrano, np I appreciate any help I can get [23:56] mar77i, in my Debian days, I was always running testing [23:57] Merkidemis: youre sshing to it? i think youd like putty better as a windows client [23:57] _Oz_: ah.. that sounds nice.. I'll put that on my "to do"-list.. but now I'm off to bed.. good night [23:57] * MatBoy is upgrading now to Gutsy :) [23:57] elhoir_: then (making sure you're in /etc/alternatives) type ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so firefox-javaplugin.so [23:57] mar77i: Because thats where apt is. Its a java tool, it just happens to share a very similar name to apt-get. [23:57] would 01206873333 be a free number to call in the UK? [23:57] pike: yes I am [23:57] MagoonD, did you try System > Preferences > Mouse under the motion tab? [23:57] !offtopic | cappiz [23:57] cappiz: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [23:57] cappiz: no, I don't believe so [23:58] NigelS: done [23:58] cappiz: google the area code [23:58] pike: cygwin was more useful in my various programming courses [23:58] here are groups by default that are sudoer groups. what are they [23:58] how can i know e.g admin is. and if iaim not wrong. plugdev is ,but where can i know that? may be i installed mythtv. and thats an suder too the group mythtv. so where can i know [23:58] elhoir_: and was there an error this time? [23:58] danh1: you might have to force the install... check the man page for switches.. you'll end up with something like "sudo dpkg -i --force-dependencies yourdebhere.deb" [23:58] eekrano, yeah i set acceleration and sensitivity in Motion tab to their highest [23:58] danh1: because the hardy deb will probably depend on something that's not available in gutsy [23:58] lovely [23:58] * Shadowfire is away: gnite.. [23:59] !away > Shadowfire (Please see the private messsage from ubotu) [23:59] NigelS: no, it has never shown an error [23:59] If anyone is available , I am frustrated as hell... I have spent the last 3 days searching and trying to get my cdrom drive to work and cant get it to work, looked everywhere on line... anyone able to help me? [23:59] Merkidemis: cygwin is great but the default shell kinda sucks for intance i normally install sshd on cygwin so i can use putty to ssh to my local machine i just like the shell better [23:59] elhoir_: you said before that there was a no such file error [23:59] * pike_ shrugs [23:59] Liono: the only group that has to do with sudoers is admin, other groups typically use group permissions to control access
