[00:00] CorruptTerrorist, wubi is not part of ubuntu in any way [00:00] yeah i just cant read as fast [00:00] lex, indeed. and the kicker is i can't figure out why i don't have internet connection to do a 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop' [00:00] hola: cam model? [00:00] swatTX: are you using 7.04? [00:00] oh it is net problem... lol...

[00:01] sudobash, i can use the keyboard however without switching to another screen there is no where to type anything (if i just leave it after logging on) [00:01] !wubi [00:01] wubi is an unofficial Ubuntu installer for Windows users - more info is at http://www.cutlersoftware.com/ubuntusetup/wubi/en-US/index.html [00:01] has anyone ever had an issue with losing their taskbar in xfce?

[00:02] Cyntrox, USb [00:02] what happens when you type ifconfig... does it just give you loopback and no eth0 or anything? [00:03] hola: oooops! you have the same cam model i have, and i think the only way is compile de hqca (or similar, i don't know) if you have lucky [00:03] Cyntrox, there's a web install though it takes a usb drive or something so you have the web installer [00:03] Yeah, I get a lot of errors when trying to install via the CD... No one here could find a solution to the issue. Would an external USB-hard drive work? [00:03] can anyone help with setting up a dlink wireless router in ubuntu? [00:03] probably the wrong place to ask but i can't get an answer anywhere else [00:03] salut à tous [00:03] i had to reinstall ubuntu recently.... I'm having soundcard issues. My headphones don't mute the speakers. I followed this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=575750 (I actually added to that when I had it working before the re-install) but now it doesn't work at all after everything I've done [00:03] Cyntrox What kind of errors? [00:03] chocolatewithmin: how you do it work [00:03] lex, i edited my /etc/network/interfaces and make it "auto eth1" on one line and "iface eth1 inet dhcp" on the second.

[00:05] wall2: you might be out of range. Can you get a signal in windows? [00:05] Cyntrox I might try burning it at the slowest speed possible. [00:05] sudobash, ifconfig shows eth0, eth1, and (just noticed this one) eth1:avah entry [00:05] hola: no, i didn't have lucky :-( [00:05] hi, can anyone help me troubleshoot my speakers? [00:05] chocolatewithmin: ok [00:05] i'm only 5 feet from the router [00:05] lex. I've tried swapping out eth0 and eth1. no luck on either. [00:05] * speeddemon8803 cries.....my ubuntu cd isnt booting anymore [00:05] i have no idea why they wouldn't work... :( [00:05] wall2: ok, what wireless card do you have [00:05] wall2 you need to connect to router over ethernet cable [00:05] i can pick up other wirelss signals, but i can't get mine [00:05] NB2000, I burned it at 40x I believe... Is that too much? [00:05] Bard01 & Ashfire: Thanks :D [00:05] ok, so i got my firewire drive mounted (thanks to everyone who helped especially usser) but now when I cd to it I can't see any files. system monitor shows it as 100% full (which it's not quite... there are a few hundred MBs left) [00:05] swatTX this is with a fresh install right? [00:06] hola: I think it's a bit stupid, but have you tried to install the driver on wine? [00:06] swatTX you probably have a 169. something address dontyou [00:06] Cyntrox I have had older drives that just don't like a quick burned CD. [00:06] on that eth1:avah [00:06] cyntrox, try burning at the lowest possible speed :) [00:06] Cyntrox I say it might be worth a shot. [00:06] the exact command i ran was: sudo mount -t hfs -o rw,users /dev/sdb /mnt/myfirewire [00:06] lex, other than getting a few codecs through totem i didnt make any changes [00:06] chocolatewithmin: no and you [00:06] i have the router connected to my ubuntu box via ethernet cable, but i'm trying to get the wireless signal on a macbook [00:06] you need to refresh your ethernet adapters swatTX [00:06] NB2000: I suppose it's worth a shot. I'll try. [00:06] sudo ifconfig eth0 down [00:06] sudo ifconfig eth0 up [00:06] wall2: try clicking on the network manager in the system tray, connect to other wireless network, put in details and click connect [00:06] Cyntrox Good luck with it. [00:06] hola: yes, i have tried it, but no lucky [00:06] and the same with the eth1 [00:06] (wrong place to ask i know) [00:07] hola: try it, what can you lose?

[00:29] forrest, if that gives you boot error, you can use the install disk to reinstall grub [00:29] Ubuntu 7.10, I want to use this desktop host the files for a network installation on my laptop [00:29] the kde desktop for ubuntu i mean [00:29] brambo, I think it is sudo apt-get install kde-desktop that or kubuntu-desktop try those [00:29] CorruptTerrorist, right click /properties on wuby and just append --32bit. and thats just my guess [00:29] brambo use synaptic it will bemuch easier [00:29] rambo3, on windows? [00:30] but sudo apt-get install kde-desktop is correct [00:30] CorruptTerrorist, why use wubi?? [00:30] Brad01 I see. Does the laptop have no CD? [00:30] sudobash: what is it named on synaptic ? [00:30] kde [00:30] search kde [00:30] ph0rensic, i'm not gonna partition, just dont want to [00:30] NB2000, No optical/floppy drive and no usb booting [00:30] Brad01 ouch. [00:31] brambo: search kde and install all packages, and..you'll have a fully working Kubuntu. [00:31] I cannot get Flash Video to work in my browser. It says I need to install the plugin but then when I try to do that it says the plugin is already installed. I tried uninstall and reinstall but it still does not work. I'm using Ubuntu. [00:31] CorruptTerrorist, oh... well you might as well use ubuntu in a VM then [00:31] make sure your repositories are set on the first tab or the repos section of synaptic [00:31] of* [00:31] * Brad01 regrets getting compact laptop [00:31] CorruptTerrorist, yes. on wubi icon. righ click and there should be options or properties and after wubi-version-33 add --32bit [00:31] does anybody know how to enable the folder view just by hovering the mouse over? i.e. folder size etc etc... [00:31] rambo3, ok i getcha [00:31] sudobash: it wont do it from here, I think maybe I have to go back to Gnome? [00:31] Brad01 so even if you came up with an external CDROM it probably wouldn't boot to it? [00:31] Hello Again [00:31] ubuntu makes it easy with synaptic but its nothing really new... its just there is a bunch of support for Ubuntu [00:32] !hi | asturias [00:32] asturias: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [00:32] sudo apt-get install kde-desktop [00:32] I installed Compiz on Ubuntu 7.10 and the Desktop Effects wont work [00:32] NB2000, It would have to be a specific drive not a usb one [00:32] but i already have kde desktop, i wanna install the new one, will that install the new one? [00:32] ASTURIAS, compiz comes with 7.10 [00:32] brambo what kind of PC are youon? [00:32] mykeyboardsucks [00:32] rambo3, still downloading the x64 [00:32] hey ph0rensic, do i need to use the live cd to do THIS https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows,or can i simply do it from my (hd0,1) install? [00:32] I reinstalled [00:32] sudobash: amd sempron 1.6ghz 64bit 1gb ram [00:33] brambo, I dont think the new one is in the repos yet [00:33] How do I set my location for the Weather report? [00:33] you installed Ubuntu 64 bit? [00:33] But it seems that nothing works to enable the Desktop Effects [00:33] Rolcol, the pannel applet ? rightclick properties [00:33] yeah 64 bit [00:33] OK so i looked at that page that was given - the bash found my soundcard stuff, but my driver wasn't listed on the alsa page [00:33] cuz my cpu is 64bit capable [00:33] i mean my motherboard wasn't listed [00:33] Pelo, strangely, that's the only thing I have not tried. [00:33] that might be the problem regular install mightnot work [00:34] ph0rensic the new one is under synaptic so i dunno [00:34] I need help with a wireless problem. My wireless works from a fresh install of ubuntu no problems. However i deleted some files (not sure which ones) and no longer have the option for wireless networking. Any ideas? [00:34] Brad01 does it have a floppy? [00:34] sudobash: problem being my computer? [00:34] NB2000, no [00:34] no [00:34] Guys, this might be sliding by offtopic, but on the dell computers supplied with ubuntu, do they contain the open source drivers or is it the regular closed source stuff? [00:34] Holy Frijoles. [00:34] can someone help me with an ubuntu question please? [00:35] 64 bit ubuntu but one sec... what does it say when you do sudo apt-get install kde-desktop [00:35] ? [00:35] forrest, I think you can do it w/o the disk .. I have heard if you play along like you are going to reinstall the OS on the same partition but dont have anything format, grub will install, and fix itself.. thats another method..I actually did it once and it worked [00:35] swatTX, try sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop that should reinstall all the files associated with the desktop part , not sure what you need is in there but it is worth a shot [00:35] anyone? [00:35] Reading package lists... Done [00:35] Building dependency tree [00:35] Reading state information... Done [00:35] E: Couldn't find package kde-desktop [00:35] CorruptTerrorist, ok [00:35] FJSS127, just ask the question [00:35] Any idea folks to get an ubuntu install on a system with no CDROM floppy or USB boot capability? [00:35] CorruptTerrorist, start cli [00:35] !netboot | nb2000 [00:35] nb2000: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues - Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [00:35] Anyone know what the pause syscall is in Ubuntu? [00:36] NB2000, kind of limiting the options there [00:36] your repos need to be set up one sec [00:36] rambo3, yep [00:36] okay thanks [00:36] !install > NB2000 check for a private message windows with instructions from ubotu [00:36] speeddemon8803, net install is painful [00:36] Pelo, I couldn't get past the login screen up until I installed ubuntu-desktop, so i should have a fresh copy of that. [00:36] CorruptTerrorist, browse to the folder where you donwloaded wubi [00:36] yeah I agree. :) [00:36] uh huh [00:36] I'm trying to follow these https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/QuickNetboot directions but am stuck on part 3 [00:36] Hi all... I'm writing a very simple script that can change a bash environment variable (set in an .alias file)... what would be the best way of changing my "export FOO=bar" line? sed? [00:36] I cannot get Flash Video to work in my browser. It says I need to install the plugin but then when I try to do that it says the plugin is already installed. I tried uninstall and reinstall but it still does not work. I'm using Ubuntu. [00:37] Rael: are you using ubuntu 64bit? [00:37] rambo3, shift+rightclick -> command window here? [00:37] Brad01 I have no browser to see that. Maybe lynx but thats pretty limited. [00:37] !flash > Rael [00:37] I've helped a friend install Ubuntu as a dual-boot, and everything's working fine, but the windows partition is no longer booting properly. GRUB allows him to boot up into XP, and it goes into the whole "Windows is booting" phase, but then freezes. Any thoughts? [00:37] swatTX, I'm sure there is another meta package for the core stuff but I don'T know what it is [00:37] Rael, please check private messages :) [00:37] NB2000, Theres no important pictures [00:37] Jorophose, can you pastebin his /boot/grub/menu.lst file ? [00:37] thanks [00:37] im a noob to linux and i dual booted it and fixed the partitions still have XP and Ubuntu :) [00:37] Jorophose, did you perform a defrag before?? Was this a resize and partition deal? [00:38] Rael, your welcome. [00:38] CorruptTerrorist, whats that. did you start command prompt C:\ [00:38] How do I uninstall ubuntu, my first attempt went bad and I want to try again [00:38] Jorophose, You might try ##windows [00:38] FJSS127, You don't have to [00:38] Brad01 send it again and I will try. [00:38] brambo: http://www.debianadmin.com/ubuntu-edgy-eft-complete-sourceslist-repository-list-file.html [00:38] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/QuickNetboot [00:38] FJSS127, Just write over it again, and have it reformat [00:38] FJSS127, Is there any other partitions on the drive or anything? [00:38] I don't think it's a problem with menu.lst, because he can boot into windows... It's just windows can't reach anything after that first screen. [00:38] IS there a syscall in Linux to pause a terminal... just somethline like "Press any key to continue" or something like that [00:39] rambo3, i started command prompt with it pointing to the folder with wubi in (C:\Users\Joe Harrison\Desktop>) [00:39] yes I have 3 [00:39] FJSS127 what do you mean? uninstall ubuntu i dont know what this means.... [00:39] * Pelo still wonders if there is an app that would allow him to split one large video file into multiple smaller files by just setting split points [00:39] I want to retry installing it [00:39] Jorophose, Did you have to resize the windows partition in order to do this [00:39] he means get rid of ubuntu and possibly...yes. [00:39] rambo3, what steps now? [00:39] FJSS127, anything else on the disk? [00:39] Jorophose, windows issue then , try in ##windows [00:39] yes vista [00:39] does anyone know why when I type netstat -r, it shows link-local as an entry? [00:40] CorruptTerrorist, did you test to start it : Wubi-version-wahever-.exe --32bit [00:40] just write over it with your cd and use the automated disk installer [00:40] dont try to partition anything yourself unless you know what you are doing [00:40] sudobash: and what am i looking for there? [00:40] Hello, I'm a newbe to ubuntu, but I do have linux eperience [00:40] userwald0, welcome to the mad house [00:40] Pelo, ffmpeg should be able to do that, or do you want something simpler? [00:40] rambo3, it still downloads amdx64 [00:40] deb http://kubuntu.org/packages/kde-latest edgy main [00:40] deb http://kubuntu.org/packages/kde-355 edgy main [00:40] deb-src http://kubuntu.org/packages/kde-latest edgy main [00:40] sudobash, be good idea for him to learn SOMETIME about partitions [00:40] Hi userwald0, what can we help you with? [00:40] i didnt know what i was doing partitions to get ubuntu and keeping xp but i did lol i got lucky i guess... [00:41] CorruptTerrorist, fark it then. [00:41] Jordan_U, split points will be uneven a gui app that would let me play and pick splitpoints as I go would be nice [00:41] brambo, haha very lucky [00:41] fark it? [00:41] The problem I'm having is that when I install Ubuntu 7.10, everything works, but as soon as I run the updater and update to the latest kernel, all my hardware stops working [00:41] yeah i learned when i was 12 [00:41] Brad01 okay I got it open. [00:41] CorruptTerrorist, yeah it's not working. [00:41] oh oh ohhhhhhhhhh [00:41] my network card quits, ican't login using gdm, etc [00:41] user__, something wrong with how you are updating your kernel [00:41] brambo: sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [00:41] userwald0, ^^ [00:41] can i download the x32 iso and just put it in the directory? [00:41] Jordan_U, I know I can do it the long way with avidemux , by cutting the extra and then saving the last bit but it would take for ever [00:41] brad you were asking about the ipsetup for a server? [00:41] its like my kernel update doesn't complete [00:41] Zombine: why would that be a syscall? it seems pretty much a user-level thing. "any key" is tricky, anyway, because of line buffering, but you can easily ask the user to press Enter [00:42] and put in what i pasted above (3 lines) [00:42] NB2000, yeah [00:42] userwaldo, your saying it basically turns your computer into a huge paper weight? [00:42] I would like to "unpartition" my hdd and then reinstall ubuntu. Is this possible??? [00:42] * Pelo starts to wonder if avidemux has a splitting script in the filters [00:42] Brad01 well it hopes there are no other DHCP servers on the network. [00:42] damn,i used 10$ cell phone fees in six months [00:42] FJSS127, you can delete partitons if that is what you mean [00:42] thanks team for another great release [00:42] how? [00:42] 8.04 is installing flawlessly for me [00:43] anyone wanting to mess with partitioning... I recommend that you download and burn Gparted and Super Grub Disk [00:43] !gparted > FJSS127 (FJSS127, see the private message from Ubotu) [00:43] !gparted > fjss127 [00:43] Brad01 for the range I would use 192.168.0.100 192.168.0.150 [00:43] NB2000, I can disable the dhcp on my router [00:43] oops :) [00:43] Anyone have any idea why using the automatic updater would cause this? [00:43] sudobash: got a URL for a pre-made disc? that sounds interesting [00:43] FJSS127, well assuming there is nothing you want to keep on this hdd, just boot the live cd and goto menu > system> admin > gnome partiton editor [00:43] the boot server is the IP of the machine you are accessing. [00:43] Is there a better way to manage my kernel than using the default one. I [00:43] userwald0....in all my years of ubuntu, i have never heard of that happening. [00:43] rambo3, can i download the x32 iso and just put it in the directory? [00:43] SGD:http://supergrub.forjamari.linex.org/?section=download [00:44] Brad01 default gateway should be the routers IP. [00:44] put what in where? please PM me sudobash [00:44] CorruptTerrorist, i don't know ... try [00:44] userwald0: what is the default kernel and what is the version that the updater fetches? [00:44] 'm not afraid to compile and manage the kernel manually, but this automatic update is a bit frustrating [00:44] Anyone know how to clear the played history in the totem video player? [00:44] im losing it here in the chat [00:44] Gparted:http://gparted.sourceforge.net/download.php [00:44] sudobash: thnx [00:44] Brad01 DNS server, use same routers IP. [00:44] i think that the default is 2.6.22-14 [00:44] !gparted [00:44] GParted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted-livecd.tuxfamily.org/ [00:44] omg [00:44] yea I use gpartd, just didn't know of a pre-built grub cd [00:44] after I repaired vista my ubuntu cd won't display a desktop [00:44] lux ok, so for this machine does this look OK?http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57140/ line 12 is the one i added [00:45] I need help with a wireless problem. My wireless works from a fresh install of ubuntu no problems. However i deleted some files (not sure which ones) and no longer have the option for wireless networking. Any ideas? [00:45] userwald0: that's the latest one actually as far as i know [00:45] !info linux [00:45] linux (source: linux-meta): Generic complete Linux kernel.. In component restricted, is optional. Version 2.6.22.14.21 (gutsy), package size 24 kB, installed size 52 kB [00:45] Brad01 looks like all the important bits. [00:45] hey all how do i start gnome from the command line i just installed it and want to start it i tried exec gnome-session [00:45] userwald0, if the two versions are really different versions, the old kernel is not removed when you update. that means you can just boot using the old kernel, by choosing it in the GRUB menu (and you can make that choice the default by editing /boot/grub/menu.lst) [00:46] NB2000, What do I use for server IP? [00:46] Cew27. sudo gdm? or init 2... maybe one of those, not sure. [00:46] bluefoxx: as long as that folder exists in your home directory, it should work [00:46] my ip? [00:46] Cew27 - /etc/init.d/gdm start [00:46] Centaur5, gnome-session should do it if X is running, if not then xinit first then gnome-session ( or use startx and it will do both for you ) [00:46] thanks [00:46] Brad01 the desktop that your gonna load the software from. [00:46] lex, so meaning if i haven't made it i shoulf [00:46] Brad01 this is all assuming your laptop can boot PXE. [00:46] \should* [00:47] does anyone know why when I repaired vista my ubuntu live cd won't display a desktop [00:47] deb http://kubuntu.org/packages/kde-355 edgy main [00:47] deb-src http://kubuntu.org/packages/kde-latest edgy main [00:47] crap [00:47] LjL, I don't see the old one in grub, only the default and the safe mode ones in the automagic section [00:47] NB2000, It can [00:47] Brad01 Great!!! [00:47] bluefoxx: yes, the folder your mounting a drive to has to be in your home directory already otherwise there isn't a place to mount it [00:47] inet addr:127.0.0.1 is that my ip? [00:47] Brad01 No. [00:47] FJSS127, you mean ubunt u don't boot [00:47] Anyone know how to clear the played history in the totem video player? [00:47] Brad01 Thats your localhost. Same on all PC's. [00:47] lex, ok, so once i save that and make the folder do i have to reboot or not? [00:47] userwald0: then it's the same version. you could always force APT to reinstall the older revision, and then pin it (although i don't know much at all about pinning) [00:48] !pinning > userwald0 (userwald0, see the private message from Ubotu) [00:48] it boots but the desktop is all messed up [00:48] NB2000, How do I find out my ip? [00:48] brad are you putting the PXE server on a windows machine? [00:48] for it to auto mount yes [00:48] NB2000, No linux [00:48] FJSS127, The two are likely unrelated [00:48] i guess i'll have to stick with the x64 AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHH [00:48] FJSS127, what you mean by messed up [00:48] Brad01 okay. At the shell prompt type: ifconfig [00:49] Brad01 Its probably going to be listed under eth0 [00:49] no [00:49] ip addr [00:49] brambo did you get all that? [00:49] lex, also, this drive i added is a external scsi i plan to upgrade soon as i can find a cheap one that is larger, will it be safe to swap them out or should i change the ext3 option to auto? [00:49] there are horizontal lines running across the screen, orange and black, it happened after i repaired vista [00:49] Brad01 coming from your router its probably going to be some 192.x.x.x number. [00:49] where are the fonts stored? [00:50] or how do I install new fonts? [00:50] haha wow i would vomit on Vista if i could [00:50] thats why i'm learning ubuntu [00:50] bluefoxx: generally you don't want to add an external drive to the fstab because if it's not plugged in; problems will ensue when you boot [00:50] j_humphrey, /usr/share/fonts [00:50] yeah no doubt lex [00:50] eixt [00:50] is it possible to only have the updater install the kernel source, and for me to manually manage the compilation? [00:51] j_humphrey, to install new fonts, the easy way is to put the in ~/.fonts [00:51] public ip or just ip? [00:51] thats a good time... your like ummm what happened? [00:51] oh yeah i unplugged that usb [00:51] bluefoxx: but if you insist; you can just add the other one later when you get it; it'll likely be /dev/sdb1 then [00:51] j_humphrey, or open a nautilus window and go to the fonts:/// location [00:51] Brad01 should be IP Address under the section eth0 [00:51] lex, its externally connected but through an scsi connector, i plan to daisy chain a bunch of 20 gigs into my system with the drives seperatly powered and in a second tower, then use them to backup to [00:51] I really don't want to reinstall just to enable wifi [00:51] lex, ok, tyvm [00:52] sometimes the desktop will load but its 1/4 the size of my screen [00:52] lex, should i reboot after saving it? [00:52] will photoshop cs2 run on wine ok ? last time i tried to install some games it never worked [00:52] brad should be "inet addr" [00:52] !fonts | j_humphrey [00:52] j_humphrey: Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash?

[00:54] CEW27 i doubt it [00:54] Does anyone know the default drivers that Gutsy Gibbon uses and where I can find them? [00:54] macd: what do you mean check?

[00:54] sudobash: why i heard google were funding wine now so there getting better ? [00:54] swatTX whats up now? [00:54] anyone feel like they would just LOVE to help me set up a static IP? [00:54] bluefoxx: from the command line [00:54] lex, ok, thanks [00:54] sudobash, no wifi [00:54] ok, movie time. gl all [00:54] LjL thanks for the link. I'll look into it [00:54] macd - use the dig command ie dig www.google.com [00:54] Brad01: your *internal network's* address is 192.168.1.106 [00:54] LjL, wifi [00:55] swatTX what you want is BackTrack 3 drivers [00:55] !wifi > swatTX (swatTX, see the private message from Ubotu) [00:55] LjL, yeah as in my internet IP, not my lan ip, a way to check a webpage, then grep the output would be good, but Im drawing blanks with lynx and curl [00:55] find out what it uses and try to find out if it will work in ubuntu [00:55] Vaylence, what is there to set up? [00:55] Hey everyone. First time in this room, so forgive any lapses in etiquette. I have a Kodak EasyShare 310 that simply will not upload. There appears to be a problem with libgphoto, and the only solution is a downgrade that is no longer possible (removed from the servers, so far as I can tell). How do I change that camera from PTP to USB mass storage? Thanks. [00:55] macd: www.whatismyip.com [00:55] 192.168.1.106 [00:55] Back|Track 3 has a lot of support for wifi [00:55] Thanks, LjL and NB2000 [00:55] but also madwifi is something to look into [00:55] LjL, yeah I have a page I can hit, know of a way to grab that output and direct it to console? [00:56] i.e. I need the script Im working on to have that later... [00:56] macd: you can make a script. what's the page you have? (perhaps it's easier to make a script from that one) [00:56] macd i will make something for you for $$ [00:56] whatever ubuntu uses as a default works just fine. it just got disabled somehow. [00:56] LjL, Ive been using checkip.dyndns.org, outputs plain text just the IP [00:56] is the x64 version of ubuntu bad? [00:56] sudobash: don't worry, i think i can make him one for free [00:56] c++ bash script perl whatever [00:56] havascript === theresa is now known as dsfw2 [00:57] I was thinking lynx had a way to direct output to stdout, but I cant find it anywhere [00:57] macd: it does. what's your page? [00:57] couldnt wget do it or telnet essentially? [00:57] LjL, checkip.dyndns.org [00:57] when i go to settings/screen resolution, and choose different res, the screen flickers, and according to ubuntu, new settings have been applied, but the screen res didn't change at all. what could be wrong?

[01:00] KenSentMe: dont know, not rotate, but mirror it, so ')' would become '(' [01:00] Brad01 Not sure. [01:00] sdfw2, have u installed restricted drivers via the restricted drivers manager? [01:00] Vaylence, if your ISP/router supports DHCP, your static IP address will be set up automatically. otherwise, just set it up in the preferences [01:00] SeaLab.... At the bottom of the Sea! [01:01] Vaylence: if your ISP doesn't give you a static IP, you won't have a static IP [01:01] hey i need some help with lilo ..it says something about my /etc/fstab configuration files not looking like an ordinary block device [01:01] forrest, nothing i've done, maybe sometthing automated via apt-get? [01:01] Does anyone have any idea how to use freewins.. [01:01] forrest, what would restricted drivers have to do with x.org configuration? [01:01] LjL I think I just need a static IP from my router, not from the ISP [01:01] greetings all! Anyone know what ubuntu would offer as an equivalent to Itunes. I am moving my wife to ubuntu but she is a heavy ipod user [01:02] amaROK [01:02] it's stuck in 1280x1024 and i need 800x600 [01:02] wait, dsfw2, u were complaining about ur screen res? [01:02] forrest, yes [01:02] Vaylence: then you need to set it up in your router. your router almost certainly supports DHCP -- you merely need to tell it to assign your computer always the same address. that's not done in Ubuntu, though, but in your router's configuration [01:02] Well it looks like I will have to reinstall Ubuntu JUST for my wireless internet to work. Ridiculous. Strike 2 Ubuntu, one more and you're out. [01:02] Brad01 that page shows you what to run/restart [01:02] i dano sounds like ur drivers are unhappy to me but wutever u probly know more [01:03] hi all, I am trying to login to mysql can you help me?

[01:07] forrest, i don't know, but everyone always says k3b is "the best". i'm always dubious of things that are said to be "the best", but that's what gives [01:07] k3b is the best [01:07] back.... [01:07] loll, thank you LjL [01:07] Hello, any ISO burning software I use only recognizes my CD-RW as only 600MB, but it is 700MB in size, and when I try to burn the ubuntu ISO, it does not fit on the disc. What can I do? [01:08] gnomebaker or k3b [01:08] k3b sadly does truly seem to be the best [01:08] LjL: k3b beats nero on linux platform....

[01:08] when i go to settings/screen resolution, and choose different res, the screen flickers, and according to ubuntu, new settings have been applied, but the screen res didn't change at all. what could be wrong? [01:09] did anybody notice how this operating system is the best thing to happen to computers since aqua interface [01:09] Hi! Can anyone advice how to "uninstall" a manually installed program. I would very much like to overwrite my manual files with latest from the repo. [01:09] is ther a k3b channel on freenode...? [01:09] forrest, linux is been around longer then windows. [01:09] disown, well, that's one of the main reasons why we strongly recommend *against* installing things the manual way: there is no guarranteed to remove them. what is it, and how did you install it? [01:09] forrest, ^^ hes right.. just barely younger than unix [01:09] Indiadev_Techie: yes. guess its name [01:09] Hello anyone, what /dev/ device is the microphone? [01:10] Wow... I just hosed my system by trying to upgrade to 8.10... ;\ [01:10] dsfw2, I don't think so [01:10] Linux is the oldest and best os around, just not too many people know about it though :) [01:10] dsfw2: no [01:10] dsfw2: not quite [01:10] LjL, haha you know that 8.10 isn't anywhere near ready [01:10] LjL: I followed the "install latest version of alsa" guide on the wiki to get my soundcard working. I was a complete n00b at the time. [01:10] speeddemon8803: not at all. Unix maybe [01:10] ph0rensic: uhm... did i say it was? [01:10] well, then again, it's not making billions to be perfected everyday either. [01:10] or fatten someones wallet. [01:10] anyone know if it would just be easier to run itunes using crossover office. ...I would like to make this transition seamless as possible for her [01:10] LjL: cant guess !!! [01:10] logout [01:10] ph0rensic, lol, I didn't take that 'nut' config or whatever seriously enough I guess. [01:11] Indiadev_Techie: #k3b [01:11] hello I need to permanently add a directory to my $PATH variable. How would I do that? [01:11] but that's part of the learning experience I guess [01:11] LjL, no .. Im just saying you might have expected some serious errors [01:11] dsfw2, i was referring to apple's aqua interface and yes it was around much before its release, however i did gutsy gibbon was not, and such complete repos were not either, which was the individual feature to which i was referring [01:11] caleb_yau: edit ~/.bashrc [01:11] Ka2 i was typing when they were talking about unix :P [01:11] i hit enter a few seconds too late [01:11] ph0rensic, 8.10 hasn't even been *started* [01:11] hickenboot: maybe wine. i'll just check compatibility [01:11] wutnowbith [01:11] lol [01:11] poop [01:11] k3b IS THE BEST [01:11] when Intrepid coming out? [01:11] !ot [01:11] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [01:11] LjL: But apt-get doesn't override my manual files, so with every kernel upgrade I need to reinstall it manually. It'll be worth the risk to try to override it, because I just want to get rid of my manual version. If it doesn't work, I'll reinstall from scratch. [01:12] LjL, I was supposing you were talking about hardy [01:12] hi [01:12] ph0rensic, i was never talking about hardy... and hardy is 8.04 anyway [01:12] LjL, right .. Im kinda drowsy [01:12] looking for a good laptop, with geforce 8800 512 card (at least) with 17 inch monitor and about $1500 [01:13] disown, files from the repositories *will* at least warn you about conflicts with your own files. unless your own files are in other directories, such as /usr/local instead of /usr [01:13] TrustNoOne, this isn'T #ebay [01:13] Key combination Fn + F8 doesn't work... pc freezes... can someone help? [01:13] TrustNoOne, I heard about this site called Google.com. you might wanna check it out [01:13] qraebjoa, what is that key combo for %? [01:13] fredmv, whats the address of the site [01:13] ? [01:13] change screens on notebook [01:13] fredmv, wow what does it do! This is interesting! [01:14] qraebjoa, dual screens ? [01:14] ph0rensic, it prevents Trust from posting nonsense in the channel. pretty revolutionary [01:14] fredmv, hehe [01:14] hm yes... i want to duplicate or just one bigger screen [01:15] qraebjoa,I don'T know much about this but I think it might be a video card issue, try checking in the forum www.ubuntuforums.org [01:15] it worked with the normal cd but not now after installing from alternate cd it freezes [01:15] mkay [01:15] What if its revolutinary nonsense? [01:15] qraebjoa, by videocard issue I mean relating to ati or nvidia settings [01:15] ati ^^ [01:15] !ot [01:15] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [01:15] LjL: so you are saying that they should be overridden by default? When i try to issue "apt-get install alsa-base", apt says that alsa-base is already the latest version. Does this mean that I have two parallell versions installed? [01:16] LjL hmmm i didnt see anything about PATH in that file. am i supposed to do $edit ~/. bashrc ? [01:16] hey fellas i receive this error when trying to erase a cd-rw /usr/X11R6/bin/wodim: Device or resource busy. [01:16] Cannot open SCSI driver! [01:16] qraebjoa, got the restricted driver installed yet ? it might work well with the vesa driver but not with the restricted one [01:16] disown: it means you have it installed allready [01:16] restricted yes [01:16] as well as Error trying to open /dev/hda exclusively (Device or resource busy)... giving up. [01:16] disown: no, i mean more like that APT will complain about conflicts, so that you know which fiels to remove. but if alsa-base (or any other package) is *already installed* (even though it has been overwritten by your manually installed files), APT will not try to reinstall it. you should explicitly instruct it to « apt-get --reinstall install alsa-base » [01:17] LjL: thank you, will do. brb [01:17] qraebjoa, as a test you might want to revert back to the vesa driver and check if that works , sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [01:17] how do i remove apache2? i did apt-get remove apache2 and its still up [01:17] forrest, do a search in the forum on those messages [01:17] ed1t: sudo invoke-rc.d apache2 stop [01:17] mkay... again :-) [01:18] ed1t, do it from synaptic, there might be several other packages that need removal [01:18] Pelo: i only have console access [01:18] How do I change my Kodak EasyShare 310 from a PTP to a USB mass storage device? Thanks. [01:18] * Pelo always reads mkay as a very hesitant aquiescence [01:18] is anyone currently running 8.10? [01:18] ed1t, sudo apt-get remove apache2 --purge [01:18] fredmv, 8.10 hasn't been *started*. [01:18] ricardisimo, there must be an option on your camera to do this [01:18] meh. [01:19] ricardisimo, it's not a ubuntu specific thing [01:19] fredmv, the ppl in #ubuntu+1 [01:19] I followed the NFS setup guide but other machines on my LAN can't see my server [01:19] maybe I need to open a port? [01:19] LjL, yeah I'm talking about the dev version (Hoary). I screwed over my whole system trying to get it working. [01:19] !hardy > fredmv (fredmv, see the private message from Ubotu) [01:19] Or Heron rather. [01:20] pelo, yes... cause i did that already and it takes some time but thanks [01:20] No... I was led to believe from the threads I've read that it is a system issue. libgphoto no longer supports certain cameras, and some people were lucky enough to have downgraded while the old version was still available. Not me. :-( === speeddemon8804 is now known as speeddemon8803 [01:20] <_{XFCE}_> hey i have a question I up graded my graphics card to a nvidia 7300 and if i shut off the computer the monitor saids cant find signal [01:20] LjL, thanks for the heads up. I think I'm actually referring to 8.4. [01:21] Either way, I just re-installed 7.10/gutsy. [01:21] fredmv:Hoary was 5.04. Hardy is the dev one [01:21] Yeah, that's what I'm thinking of then. [01:21] <_{XFCE}_> how do i upgrade my graphics card [01:21] ricardisimo, yes but libgphoto is for when you have set your camera to work as an PTP device. If you set the camera to work as a usb mass storage device you don't need to care about libgphoto [01:22] huh [01:22] _{XFCE}_: VGA? [01:22] <_{XFCE}_> yeah [01:22] Why do i get "Warning: the specified .... directory L"c:\\[....] is not accessible" message 5 times when i try to run winecfg? [01:22] it shouldn't say nothing detected [01:22] _{XFCE}_: cant find signal. umm you shut the computer off right? if so that is the cause [01:22] !nvidia > _{XFCE]_ XFCE please check pm.... [01:22] <_{XFCE}_> i had to put my old card back in so i could see my monitor [01:22] so i have tried to add a directory to $PATH via export PATH=$PATH:/media/sda1/linux/arm-2007q3/bin/ but when I restart my terminal and echo $PATH its gone again [01:22] _{XFCE}_, sudo dkpg-reconfigure xserver-xorg , select the vesa driver that will get you back the desktop, you can go on from there [01:22] ricardisimo, check your camera's configuration menus for an option to set the camera to work as an usb storage device or ptp device [01:23] * Pelo realy hates it when ppl use non alpha characters in the beginning of their nicks [01:23] Hi, i get really high cpu-usage from xorg while doing 2D-operations (moving windows, playing flash video) running on a nvidia 570m with the latest nvidia drivers. Is there anyway to fix this? Right now youtube is unwatchable in fullscreen because of this :/ [01:23] LjL: That seem to have made some difference. I cannot see any sound-related kernel modules with "lsmod" however, and starting sound doesn't work. I get errors like "function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device" :( [01:23] seriously... screw ubuntu right now. It's a shame when it's easier to reinstall than correct the problem. [01:24] i love ubuntu! [01:24] swatTX, well it doesn only take 30 min to reinstall [01:24] disown, "dpkg -l | grep alsa", reinstall everything from there [01:24] disown: also, "dpkg -l | grep linux", and reinstall everything from there [01:24] swatTX, and it's not jsut ubuntu , it's most linux distros [01:24] can anyone help me with a problem? [01:24] Hmmm... I'd never even considered that. I'll look in the menu options as soon as I get home. The only other option I have is through the printer, plugging the flash card into it and seeing if I can somehow extract the images that way. Seems unlikely though. Thanks for your help! [01:24] to setup new commands [01:24] Pelo, IF it makes it through the install, it took me about 4 trys to get it to format all the way [01:24] yura, not unless you tell us what it is [01:25] you need to export to PATH or create a link [01:25] I installed WC3 Frozen Throne, but when I start the game with wine, it lags really hardcore. [01:25] LjL: Thank you. brb again :) [01:25] <_{XFCE}_> still having troble [01:25] swatTX, you can prepartiton before starting the install process it sort of speeds things up [01:25] ricardisimo, if it's a proper camera it should have such an option. it's a kodak, so I think it will have it. :) [01:25] Can someone make a command for the bot to say "Don't ask to ask a question, just do it" [01:25] yura, try asking in #winehq [01:25] alright ty [01:25] how do i permanently add a directory to the $PATH variable? [01:25] !ask | Brad01 [01:25] Brad01: 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. :-) [01:26] where can I find documentation on how to "backport" postgresql 8.3 to edgy? [01:26] does anybody know how to install compiz fusion? [01:26] Hello, any ISO burning software I use only recognizes my CD-RW as only 600MB, but it is 700MB in size, and when I try to burn the ubuntu ISO, it does not fit on the disc. What can I do? [01:26] Pelo, there's nothing really worth saving.. this is a fresh install but I appreciate the advice. I guess i should leave now before i begin to sound biter and prevent anyone from helping. [01:26] boyhppy, it is already part of gutsy , just go to menu > system > prefs > appearance, last tab [01:26] im trying to run tomcat on port 80 and its giving permission denied for port 80 [01:26] caleb_yau, ln -s source file /usr/bin [01:26] boyhppy: try System > Preferences > Appearance > Desktop effects on gutsy [01:27] all the parts of it? [01:27] caleb_yau, sudo ln -s creates a symbolic link [01:27] swatTX, thwe nice thinkg about linux is you can make your /home folder on a seperate partiton that way fi you need to reisntall you can just overwrite the os and keep the data [01:27] boyhppy: think so [01:27] swatTX, all your settings will be saved as well [01:27] ok, but how about in 6.06 LTS [01:27] Pelo, my settings are what's screwed up i think, lol [01:27] caleb_yau, without getting into configuration files and stuff [01:28] How safe is it to update edgy to gutsy? [01:28] caleb_yau, being lazy is good :) [01:28] boyhppy, that might be a different story, just try asking in #compiz , they probably can point you to a website [01:28] boyhppy: install compizconfig-settings-manager for more options [01:28] speart oh so its not actually in the file. Thats awesome i'm having some memory issues so this is a great fix [01:28] speart let me try this [01:28] why would i get an permission denied in tomcat logs for starting it on port 80? [01:28] andrej: i'm not sure but you will have to go through feisty first [01:28] swatTX, I mean the stuff in /home , like applicatiosn settings , wallpaper, general customizing, it won't save your fine os tweaking [01:28] NB2000, You here? [01:28] andrej, dependes on your configuration [01:29] Brad01 still here [01:29] ka2: bother [01:29] speart : more specifically? [01:29] Hi all, does anyone know another good web server alternative to apache? [01:29] NB2000, Do you know why [01:29] andrej, indeed, you have to go like this edgy -> feisty -> gutsy [01:29] root@brad-desktop:/tftpboot# invoke-rc.d inetd stop [01:29] invoke-rc.d: unknown initscript, /etc/init.d/inetd not found. [01:29] Joelito: nginx, lighttpd [01:29] andrej, it'll work but you'll need to install 3rd party things [01:30] speart: no its in the main repo [01:30] Joelito, goto wikipedia, search for apache , see toward the bottom there are often links to comparison pages [01:30] andrej, use apt-get only [01:30] speart: no its in the main repo [01:30] i'm getting contradictory messages :} [01:30] oops sorry [01:30] ka2, Pelo: thanks :) [01:30] speart: so if I just put gutsy into my sources.list you reckon it will work with an update & dist-upgrade? === chaky_ is now known as chaky [01:31] andrej: just try it its easy if you have the drivers already [01:31] andrej, if you think that you'll save time than you should try [01:31] time & band-witdh ;} [01:31] andrej, worked for me before [01:31] http://www.flickr.com/photos/24040049@N05/2284837943/#preview [01:31] oops wrong window [01:31] andrej: just time - as far as I know its installed by defualt [01:31] ka2: I had no driver issues with edgy ... === alex__ is now known as bibby [01:32] andrej: but only if its not been upgraded to gusy [01:32] Okay, back again :P i finally got terminal to work properly, but when i "kill" gdm, it says ok, and when I run the nvidia driver install, it says i need to kill X...but it said it was killed! [01:32] Brad01 did you invoke-rc.d dnsmasq restart [01:33] andrej: neither but it could break things so I was covering myself :) [01:33] andrej, apart from openoffice I don't think it worth the upgrade [01:33] hello.. what is meant with real memory in ubuntu system information? [01:33] If something breaks ... tough luck; that's what I get for the esae ofuse ;D [01:33] NB2000, yeah [01:33] andrej, the safe way is: upgrade edgy to feisty and then to gutsy [01:33] Brad01 no errors on that command? [01:33] no [01:33] speart: I want a newer version of postgres ... [01:33] rhineheart_m, real RAM as opposed to virtual memory, ie swap on a hdd [01:34] speart, ok here is exactly what i typed $ sudo ln -s /media/sda1/linux/arm-2007q3/bin/ /usr/bin and it worked. Still when i tried running arm-none-eabi-g++ binary, it says the command was not found [01:34] 8.2.4 is too old, lags 2 minor versions behind [01:34] brad that sed command is buggin me. [01:34] significant bug fixes in 8.2.6, and 8.3 performs better in most cases [01:34] rhineheart_m: non swap memory, actual RAM i think, illjust check [01:34] Pelo: is there a module/script for Ubuntu that it would degrag its RAM when it reaches to the set limit? [01:34] caleb_yau, I generally link the exec file [01:35] NB2000, Why? [01:35] kostkon : thanks for the warning, but I'd rather not d/l everything twice [01:35] Brad01 not sure what it is doing. [01:35] rhineheart_m, defraging memory ???? never heard of that , never knew that could be done [01:35] andrej, fixes of what [01:35] there a video chat client? [01:35] speart : postgreSQL [01:35] :} [01:36] rhineheart_m: what would be the point, RAM has incredibly fast seek times - or more no seek times [01:36] Brad01 but it wont let you stop inetd or xinetd? [01:36] does anyone know what sed -e '/USE_INETD=/s/true/false/' -i /etc/default/atftpd does? [01:36] Pelo: I mean.. not really defraging the RAM but rather freeing some of the memory to increase the available ones.. [01:36] andrej, install from source then [01:36] speart cool, i can do that, but if there is an easier way for directories that would be awesome because it has 12 executables in it [01:36] hi peoples [01:36] NB2000, I never tried stopping xinetd [01:36] rhineheart_m: thats done automatically [01:36] Brad01, replaces strings of characters in the aatftpd file I beleive [01:36] whenever I try to launch a second gnome-terminal, it fails to launch. I even try to launch multiple gnome-terminals from xterms, but I can only open one, and the next one just exits without returning any errors, it just fails to launch [01:36] Brad01 do you get any errors on the SED command and the subsequent stop commandds? [01:36] caleb_yau, you can try * [01:36] speart: how do I tie a newer version of PG into the debian/ubuntu way of building things? [01:37] rhineheart_m, just kill some processes [01:37] ka2: have you heard about advanced system optimiizer? It defrags the RAM in windows environment.. [01:37] rhineheart_m: swappiness is built into the kernel which swaps programs that have been idle for a while [01:37] andrej, if you have bandwidth restrictions you can take such a risk. But if you don't have, then better do it the safe way. [01:37] andrej, 1 second [01:37] I'm quite happy with ordinary source installs, but don't want to break dependencies [01:37] Brad01: looks like it changes the value of USE_INETD from true to false [01:37] rhineheart_m: no i havnt used windows in a long time [01:37] speart cool I will look that up (linux newb : P) thanks alot! [01:37] root@brad-desktop:/tftpboot# invoke-rc.d inetd stop [01:37] invoke-rc.d: unknown initscript, /etc/init.d/inetd not found. [01:37] Brad01 it might not be anything to worry about. [01:37] ka2: the one that you suggest means real monitoring for the resources available in the box... can you manage yourself doing it? [01:38] Brad01 long as one of them works. [01:38] NB2000, ok [01:38] rhineheart_m: swappiness is automatic [01:38] caleb_yau, me 2, but I learn every day more and more [01:38] how much disk space is must to install ubuntu 6.06 [01:39] icesword: theres about 1.2gigs of crap on the livecd [01:39] NB2000, invoke-rc.d xinetd stop didn't work either [01:39] guys, if I lean myselfwide out the window by jumping releaseses ... how stable is hardy? [01:39] icesword: why 6.06? [01:39] rhineheart_m: you can tuneit though: http://kerneltrap.org/node/3000 [01:39] andrej, you can try to install the latests .deb [01:39] hahha,LTS [01:39] and small [01:39] Install problem with 7.1, boots from cd, gets to kernel message, pc reboots , suggestions ? [01:39] Brad01 maybe it needs sudo [01:39] IndyGunFreak, how much disk [01:39] icesword: well, its *small*.. [01:39] speart: you mean d/l the 8.3 deb for gtsy and throw that at edgy? [01:40] its just as small as gutsy/edgy/feisty, etc.. [01:40] IndyGunFreak, ? [01:40] andrej, shorter than upgrade [01:40] IndyGunFreak, how much [01:40] NB2000, That doesn't work either :( [01:40] andrej, more stable process too, if you think server-wise [01:40] icesword: are you paying for support, or have some specific need for LTS? because there's been a lot of improvements between dapper and gutsy [01:40] icesword: depends on what you want it for. [01:40] IndyGunFreak, i just want 6.06 [01:40] andrej, got gnome on that machine? [01:41] * Pelo just realised that epiphany-browser is much faster then firefox, but has slithly less features [01:41] IndyGunFreak, i mean basic space need [01:41] Brad01 does the atfptd restart work? [01:41] nuh ... no gnome [01:41] 6.06 yuck [01:41] * IndyGunFreak laughs at Pelo's "epiphany" lol [01:41] * speart it's the same, benchmarks and everyday use are distinct [01:41] Z_o-s-o, ?

[01:48] awl: quick heads up [01:48] Z_o-s-o: because it should ;) [01:48] Z_o-s-o, cause we don'T want to be force to buy new hardware by an uncaring linux-distro, that's why we ditched MS in the first place [01:48] KDE4 is not complete [01:48] rhineheart_m: well, sudo apt-get install squirrelmail should install it. [01:48] so switch to a distro designed to run on legacy hardware [01:48] as for configuring, i don't know, [01:48] heh [01:48] Tailsfan, it's complete for decent use [01:48] awl: found a couple posts that suggested using the asoundconf set-default-card, then found different posts with users that said that using that command blocked all soundcards from sending a signal from anywhere [01:48] rhineheart_m: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Squirrelmail [01:48] how old is feisty fawn?

Lemme read on in that doc. [01:49] 7.10---- 7yr, 10th month... [01:49] IndyGunFreak: can i do apt-get distupgrade after? [01:49] chuck: feisty is before gutsy [01:50] i dont feel like hooking up my speaks up to this computer, so i think i'll go back to the store tomorrow and get some other headphones. My platronics worked perfectly. [01:50] pawan, it's always good to have many choices [01:50] chuck: after what? [01:50] IndyGunFreak: after i install feisty [01:50] chuck: why not just install gutsy? [01:50] IndyGunFreak: gutsy's install disk won't boot for me, but feisty's does [01:50] chuck: gutsy is after feisty yes [01:50] I thought 7.04 was an great release [01:50] i guess you can try. [01:50] chuck, you can upgrade to gutsy yes [01:50] Z_o-s-o: same [01:51] well what else would i do lol [01:51] chuck: the alternate install cd? [01:51] anybody can give me a private chat please [01:51] thats what its for. [01:51] udon, what is wrong [01:51] udon, type the name of your app in the terminal that will at least tell you if it is installed [01:51] Brad01 looks like what they are looking for. [01:51] IndyGunFreak: well there's obviously some bug with gutsy's install disk, and i don't want to have to mess with it [01:51] jus can't read up [01:51] NB2000, ok [01:51] Here we go [01:51] chuck: what makes you think that?.. i'ev installed gutsy numerous times on many different pc's, never a problem [01:52] Brad01 boot the laptop and we'll see. [01:52] chuck: i suspect there's a user bug [01:52] IndyGunFreak: ever installed it on an ibook g4? [01:52] chuck, indeed you should first try to install gutsy using the alternate install cd [01:52] udon, wht languauge you speak [01:52] pelo, but the point is..im totally not into linux [01:52] man this os is not meant for normal people lol [01:52] IndyGunFreak: desktop install works on the feisty cd, doesn't work on gutsy [01:52] pelo, just start today [01:52] chuck, if that fails also, then go for feisty [01:52] no, but is it PPC? [01:52] yes, i have tried burning it numerous times [01:52] IndyGunFreak: yes it is [01:52] saskuatch: yeah it is once you haveit working its great [01:52] chuck: didn't PPC stop after Feisty?.. [01:52] thanks [01:52] IndyGunFreak: it gets to the yaboot menu, and i hit enter, a little text goes by, but after that, it's blank [01:52] Gutsy, its a community project, not a canonical one. [01:52] chuck : you have a mac? [01:52] IndyGunFreak: nope [01:53] Z_o-s-o: yes [01:53] icesword, i speak Vietnamese [01:53] !vi [01:53] Text Editors: gedit (GNOME), Kate (KDE), mousepad (Xfce4) - Terminal-based: nano, vi/vim, emacs - For HTML/CSS editors, see !html - For programming editors and IDE, see !code [01:53] ppc i think you can get but it isnt officialy supported [01:53] udon, menu > applicatiosn > accessories > terminal , type the name of the app, that will start it if it is installed, it might just be that the menu need refreshing tho [01:53] chuck : what kind, and would you recommend them? [01:53] chuck: its a community project now, not a official poject of canonical.. [01:53] Z_o-s-o: i have an ibook g4, i love it alot, you would probably want a macbook or macbook pro now, and yes i would recommend it [01:53] !ppc | chuck [01:53] chuck: PowerPC. Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ [01:53] that is it [01:54] hahah [01:54] chuck: so any bug in it, has little to nothing to do w/ Ubuntu. [01:54] http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/7.10/release/ only available as alternate though [01:54] IndyGunFreak: okay, i've got it, thanks [01:54] jesus [01:54] pelo, is there another way to run the program? like a graphic way [01:54] my friend installed firestarter, and his p2p client quit working, so he removed firestarter, but his iptables is still messed up, how can he restore it? [01:54] chuck: i just think you're missing the point, thats all. [01:54] and you are, but thats another issue [01:54] udon: Alt+F2 [01:54] IndyGunFreak: okay [01:55] What do you guys think will be the next move for Gnome now that KDE 4 is pretty much out there? [01:55] Z_o-s-o, nothing [01:55] udon, you can start a program from the menu or from the command line, starting it from the command line deos not mean it will be a command line program , it's jsut a diffrenet way of starting it [01:55] !amd64 | speart [01:56] kostkon : no huge improvements or UI changes? [01:56] chuck: and fwiw, that issue you describe with the gutsy cd, that smells of a burn error. [01:56] pelo, i see, it's not showing in the application list [01:56] Z_o-s-o, gnome is not in competition with kde no matter what some ppl think , they both have different approaches with suit different ppl [01:56] bluefox83-> set the default policy to open [01:56] Z_o-s-o: why gnome is nice the way is [01:56] IndyGunFreak: i've burned it numerous times, same error every time [01:56] I agree [01:56] pelo, but when i install the pakage it stated "completed" [01:56] Pelo: only because my Gnome can beat up your kDE.. any day, and twice on sunday [01:56] KDE is bloated [01:56] amenado, default policy on what? [01:56] udon, open the terminal from the accessories menu , type the name of the prog in it , that should start it for you , it will let you at least know if it is installed [01:57] bluefox83-> iptables [01:57] amenado, how do i do that? [01:57] chuck: have you considered just looking at Debian?.. it has official support for PPC [01:57] Z_o-s-o: why I switched to gnome exactly [01:57] * Pelo starts hitting IndyGunFreak with his @ [01:57] lol [01:57] Z_o-s-o, KDE is clumsy [01:57] bluefox83-> iptables -F; to flush it [01:57] IndyGunFreak: i have considered it [01:57] ka2 : I always say that the only good program developed for KDE was K3B, which kicks ass [01:57] Hello again! [01:58] udon, are you sure this package is a program and not a service or somethign , look in the system > admin , or system > preferences menu too [01:58] Z_o-s-o: same again [01:58] Desktop Effects could not be enabled on ubuntu 7.10 Feisty!!! [01:58] amenado, is that all? [01:58] ka2 : I always say that the only good program developed for KDE was K3B, which kicks ass [01:58] Z_o-s-o: braserro looks ok though [01:58] oops [01:58] pelo, okay, let me try [01:58] awl: hey!

[01:59] ka2: because someone didn't know what they were typing when they said that [01:59] bluefox83-> nope, one has to add a default policy or else the flushed command only flushes but have not set the default policy [01:59] 5.04 Feisty Gibbon [01:59] awl: hold on, just wanted to grab your attention before you left, let me look at what i typed in terminal [01:59] ATI Radeon 200M XPRESS [01:59] 8.04 Breezy Fawn [01:59] « [01:59] hhaha [01:59] IndyGunFreak, nice!

No server found? [02:06] hiyas. I'm having some issues with 'screen', and mutt. Namely, when I run mutt inside screen, my status bar disappear and well, mutt display is all funny. [02:06] aurum: my brother got them for me, or i would've settled with platronics [02:07] udon, I don'T know about that , might have to do with some ofhte extension you have in firefox, I realy can'T tell [02:07] The /var/sys/log mentioned dhcdbd not running [02:07] How do I run dhcdbd [02:07] is there a way to start a program remotely to run locally? the forums had a post about using (torrentclient &), but deluge doesnt seem to notice the () [02:07] ASTURIAS: ok that probably wont work well with gutsy either [02:07] david [02:07] udon, you might want to look it up in the forum , www.ubuntuforums.org [02:07] Brad01 hmmm. lemme read on. [02:08] ASTURIAS: try searching the forums [02:08] My ATI is enabled, in the Restricted drivers... I can see that my video card is "in use", but nothing fixes the problem' [02:08] awl: trying to look around, I'll let you know if I find something, I'm trying to use my solution as inspiration [02:08] ASTURIAS: you need to install xgl i think [02:08] Brad01-> are you sure its dhcdbd? not dhcpd ? [02:08] ASTURIAS, do you hve xgl installed ? [02:08] xserver-xgl? [02:08] just tried text install of 7.10, gets to kernel alive, kernel mapping, pc reboots, suggestions ? [02:09] ASTURIAS: but check the forums for anything it might be helpful [02:09] Brad01 you added all that stuff to the dnsmasq.conf file? [02:09] ASTURIAS have you tried the new driver from ATI [02:09] hi :) [02:09] you wont need XGL [02:09] aurum: appreciate it greatly, but u dont have to go through that trouble [02:09] What new driver? [02:09] pelo, also how can i install a prog with the source only? [02:09] ASTURIAS, possibly, did you try and ask for help on this in #compiz-fusion, they can probably stear you right very quickly [02:09] 8-02 [02:09] from the website [02:09] udon, check in this link http://cutlersoftware.com/ubuntuinstall/ === f4lt3r_ is now known as f4lt3r [02:09] Nice, I'll go there in a minute...

[02:10] :( [02:10] NB2000, yeah [02:10] What is the new driver for ATI? [02:10] its version 8-02 from ati;s site [02:10] Brad01 all I can think is maybe a typo in there somewhere. [02:10] ASTURIAS, stick to what you have now [02:11] would anyone know of a command line tool that works just like Internt Explorer [02:11] that I could script for Linux [02:11] sleepster: you mean a web browser [02:11] Pelo : the improvements make it worth the upgrade [02:11] sleepster-> lynx and w3m [02:11] ka2 roger that [02:11] pelo, thank you i will check that out [02:11] sleepster, you want a text based brower ? [02:11] sleepster: wget, curl if you wnat to script it [02:11] speart, links [02:11] oops! [02:11] Ok, thanks everyone, I'll go to #compiz-fusion [02:11] sleepster, links [02:11] whenever I try to launch a second gnome-terminal, it fails to launch. I even try to launch multiple gnome-terminals from xterms, but I can only open one, and the next one just exits without returning any errors, it just fails to launch [02:12] I want a text based browser, but I want it to be multithreaded and to render images (or pretend to render images) just like IE [02:12] it's for testing purposes [02:12] I can't figure this out, I did a fedora install and it worked perfectly, ubuntu 7.10 though reboots the pc [02:12] sleepster: no images are possible but links is good for text only [02:12] hey everyone [02:12] sleepster, did you check in synaptic see what is available in there [02:12] sleepster: in emergencies on Archlinux rather than ubuntu ;) [02:12] I haven't checked synaptic yet.. :( [02:13] ka2 well does lynx still download the images? [02:13] Heres my dnsmasq http://pastebin.com/m50a1cfc7 [02:13] sleepster: images cant be done on command line [02:13] sleepster, synaptic and add/remove are your friends [02:13] [02:13] Brad01 maybe try restarting dnsmasq and atftpd [02:13] are there any apps that come with ubuntu that burn cds? [02:13] ka2 well as long as the images are downloaded... that will be sufficient [02:13] sleepster: also note "links" not "lynx" different browsers links is newer [02:13] brasero, NB2000 [02:13] Brad01 any kind of firewall running on the server? [02:13] kostkon, I'm not a bot [02:13] ka2 oh :) is links multithreaded? [02:13] sleepster: no the images arnt downloaded what do you need it for [02:14] sleepster: dont think so [02:14] I need to do testing.. I need to browse about 10k sites.. and time how long it takes to do it [02:14] oh sorry, i meant luis_, not NB2000 [02:14] sleepster: and what is it needed for [02:14] kostkon, what's up [02:14] Not thatI know of [02:14] Brad01 shorewall or such... [02:14] later folks [02:14] NB2000, no [02:14] sleepster, no just wanted to recommende "links" to sleepster, but by mistake it went to you [02:14] recommend* [02:14] :) [02:14] doh!! [02:15] sleepster, try to do it in the easy way [02:15] hello [02:15] sleepster: can you tell me what you need it for [02:15] anyone know a fix for 7.10 rebooting on install after kernel alive message ? [02:15] speart, no just wanted to recommende "links" to sleepster, but by mistake it went to you [02:15] Brad01 it said nothing about adding an additional dhcp server. So I dunno... [02:15] sleepster: i may be able to help [02:15] kostkon, you woke me up [02:15] luis_: i don't know if it's in ubuntu by default, but brasero is an adequate cd burning rom [02:15] speart, damn! really??! [02:15] how do i ge tit? lol [02:15] hi room, ive been trying to get my dvd drive to work. with no luck. can anyone help? it shows up as a cdrom but will not mount. [02:15] it* [02:15] NB2000, Yeah, I thought my router would be doing dhcp [02:15] * speart let's program people [02:15] sudo apt-get install brasero [02:16] danke [02:16] How often is Hungarian notation used in open-source development (specifically C++)? [02:16] human you can not mount a cdrom drive without a disk inside it [02:16] ka2 well any help you could offer good sir [02:16] would be taken with the upmost appreciation [02:16] Brad01 You don't want your router doing it. You might try putting the IP of your server in the gateway and dns options. So they are all the same. [02:16] How do I check to see if any dhcp servers are running? [02:16] kazol: not very [02:16] Brad01 ps aux | grep dhcpd [02:16] also serpentine, luis_, that's what i use, i think [02:17] ka2: It's more common with Windows? [02:17] but that's for audio cds specifically [02:17] for serpentine? sudo apt-get install serpentine? [02:17] kazol: it seems to be [02:17] is there a way to start a program remotely to keep running after i log out? the forums had a post about using "(torrentclient &)", but deluge doesnt seem to notice the () [02:17] ka2: :( I actually like it. [02:18] i like a KDE app.. K3b for burning dvd/cd's [02:18] copperkid just run it as a service [02:18] copperkid-> man screen [02:18] kazol: i used to use it with windows [02:18] a [02:18] and it will run when your machine boots up [02:18] kazol: but now i use python :) [02:18] ummm....does anyone have or know of a Novell client for Ubuntu? [02:18] yes, luis_, but check first whether you have it by looking in applications > sound and video, or by entering "which serpentine" in a terminal [02:18] bastid_raZor: That app is very good, like a full commercial app (Nero, etc.) [02:18] ill try the service thing; the man for screen makes no sense to me. thanks [02:18] GreatBear-> dyah visited novel site yet? [02:18] hi folks [02:19] if "which serpentine" returns something like /usr/bin/serpentine then you have it already [02:19] kazol, search for Hungarian projects [02:19] kazol; i agree. most people don't like having to install kde libraries but that doesn't matter to me. functionality is more important [02:19] amenado, yeah, we have a linux client in house, but it doesn't work with ubuntu [02:19] Jangari: what does " which" do [02:19] GreatBear-> for which app you need the client for? [02:19] failing that, you can easily search the repository for the actual name of the package by entering apt-cache search brasero, or apt-cache search serpentine === Tiven_ is now known as Tiven [02:20] anyone know a fix for 7.10 rebooting the pc on install after kernel alive message ? [02:20] novell logons [02:20] thanks Jangari. [02:20] to connect and mapping drives [02:20] luis_: it just returns 'which' program is invoked by using a command, so, where a program is located [02:20] a handy way of checking whether you have a program installed [02:21] is flash still broken in gutsy? [02:21] learn something new everyday [02:21] brasero is better for either/or audio/data, etc. [02:21] b4l74z4r, no [02:21] GreatBear-> if none with .deb, perhaps you can use alien to convert the rpm client to .deb? [02:21] !flashissues | b4l74z4r [02:21] b4l74z4r: 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 » [02:21] amenado, its been tried, doesn't work [02:21] b4l74z4r: just download it from adobe.com, [02:21] can ayone tell me how i access my ubuntu drive from windows? [02:21] b4l74z4r, two updates fixed the problems with flash [02:21] GreatBear-> oh well... [02:21] IndyGunFreak: why? [02:21] CeeBeeYaarh: its not easy [02:22] NB2000, I did that [02:22] CeeBeeYaarh: ill just look it up for you [02:22] ok, a while back i sit my "super" or "window" key, so that everytime i hit it all the windows minimise [02:22] Brad01 changed em? [02:22] can i install it via add/remove or should i download it from adobe? [02:22] http://wiresmash.com/how-to/how-to-replace-bad-fat-with-healthy-fat-healthy-fat-options/ [02:22] LjL: if the installer is still broken, its just as easy to download flash from adobe [02:22] NB2000, Yeah, Should I restart anything? [02:22] IndyGunFreak: but it's not broken. [02:22] ka2: figures [02:22] amenado, i've spent lots of time searching and working with our novell guy at work [02:22] b4l74z4r, it will work just fine if you install it from synaptic or add/remove [02:22] oh ok... well then by all means, install it normally [02:22] GreatBear-> they certainly have a client for SuSE [02:22] IndyGunFreak, if i use dvd image,can i just only install the parts i want [02:22] ok, thanks [02:22] Brad01 probably restart both atftpd and dnsmasq [02:22] but i cant remember how i did it, and now want to know if there is an exisiting shortcut to show desktop, or if i can change it so the "super"+D minimizes all [02:22] amenado, yes i know [02:22] CeeBeeYaarh; you'll need to find a program that will read ext3 format [02:22] CeeBeeYaarh:http://www.fs-driver.org/ ok that should work quite easily [02:23] b4l74z4r, the flash breakage exists no more [02:23] bastid_raZor: which that does :) [02:23] GreatBear-> then meebee try the SuSE as desktop ? [02:23] ka2 i'll make note of that.. thanks [02:23] okay, so flash is fixed? when did this happen? [02:23] IndyGunFreak, if i use dvd image,can i just only install the parts i want [02:23] although i havnt tries fs-driver - i dont have windows to test it with [02:23] ice to an extent yes, but you're stil going to have to install a set of OS packages, Gnome or KDE, or whatever, and the space limitations you're putting on this are to much, you're not gonna get a workable system on 2gigs [02:23] Jangari, with two updates before ~10 days [02:24] amenado, i would prefer to run ubuntu [02:24] NB2000, Here we go [02:24] did it work brambo? [02:24] pays to remember that http://www.adobe.com/go/getflash is a failsafe way to install flash [02:24] Brad01 cool! [02:24] Jangari: almost not for 32 firefox on AMD64 - you have to edit the installer script :) [02:24] does anyone know where/if you can download the mac os x system sounds in wav format? [02:24] icesword: you may tell it not to install openoffice, or something like that, but still, 2gigs is barely enough... [02:25] Jangari, i suspect that would be piracy [02:25] and thats having nothing [02:25] GreatBear how about fedora, it uses gnome [02:25] IndyGunFreak, thank you sir [02:25] okay ka2, well i should qualify and say 'failsafe if you have a 32bit machine [02:25] JJangari: yes [02:25] ok so i found where it is, its in Keyboard shortcuts in the preferences menu, But it will not let me set "Super L + D" as my show desktop [02:25] icesword: as i said earlier, you need to be looking at puppy, DSL, maybe vector linux.. [02:25] brambo [02:26] IndyGunFreak, but i like gnome [02:26] "hide all windows and focus desktop" is the actual title [02:26] icesword: well, then you need to give ubuntu more space. [02:26] k [02:26] amenado, because setting up ubuntu is painless.... [02:26] i would have figured that there would be some kind of Novell client [02:26] LjL: piracy or not, any clue? [02:26] you guys know of anything i can use to more finely tune my sound, other than Alsamixer? [02:26] Tiny Linux [02:26] IndyGunFreak: vector nor puppy are as nice as ubuntu though [02:26] !piracy | Jangari [02:26] Jangari: piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels. Please take this discussion elsewhere or abstain from it altogether. This includes linking to pirated software, music and video. Also see !guidelines and !o4o [02:27] Need Help , 7.10 reboots when trying to install , right after kernel alive message, even with alternate cd [02:27] ka2: i never suggested they were. [02:27] okay then, let me rephrase, "it's *not* piracy, any clue?" [02:27] GreatBear-> using RDP would not do it? [02:27] :D [02:27] Hi, Any xorg gurus around, I need help with a xorg.conf question I think I have most of it figured out. It is all explained in the pastebin http://pastebin.ca/915823 [02:27] ka2: but whenh you're insisting that an OS be installed on 1-1.5gigs of space, thats just not realistic. [02:27] IndyGunFreak: no just warning people [02:27] amenado, whats rdp? (a bit of a linux newb here) [02:27] hi, my ubuntu installation failed because i didn't make a Apple_Bootstrap partition, but that's not even an option in the partition manager in the installer, how am i supposed to make one? [02:27] I cannot get my cursor to change, can someone please help me put it back to the default? [02:27] Anybody speak spanish in here i neeed help from a noobie [02:27] sometimes the titlebar disappears when i mouse-over it. any idea why? [02:28] ka2: well, anyone with a rock in their head htat was following what i said, knew the context in which i was stating to use puppy or dsl [02:28] ubuntu fan [02:28] Jangari: are they under an open license? [02:28] GreatBear-> thats a windows thing remote desktop protocol [02:28] !es [02:28] Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda. [02:28] doh! [02:28] IndyGunFreak: yes but still it is true :) [02:28] chuck, is bootstrap the thing that allows you to startup a particular os? [02:28] GreatBear-> not even a linux thing [02:28] ok [02:28] amenado pm please [02:28] Jangari: i assume it's for the bootloader or something [02:28] can't grub suffice? [02:28] GreatBear: Microsofts Remote Desktop Protocol [02:28] GreatBear-> nope, un registered [02:29] ka2: why are you attempting to ram your opinion on me, i agree with you, i was telling icesword he was being unrealistic and needed to look elsewhere [02:29] but it's always needed when installing linux on a newworld apple computer for some reason [02:29] ok... [02:29] Anyone tried the gOS 2.0 beta / RC thing yet? [02:29] fair enough, LjL, i won't persue it here [02:29] pursue* [02:29] ka2: use common sense, or at least pay attention to the discussion [02:29] IndyGunFreak: i do agree with that [02:29] ok, i got flash working in firefox, but not in opera, how do i get it working in opera? [02:29] anyone know if gutsy supports 2 processors? I have an old PIII with 2 processors and want to install ubuntu on it [02:29] amenado, i'm looking for a "secure" setup for our library [02:29] Is gnome-compiz-manager trustable...? [02:29] something our users can't mess up [02:29] Jangari: assuming it's not piracy, i'm sure a Mac channel would know better anyway. [02:29] mixed: should have no problem there [02:29] mixed: yes it does [02:29] re: all. [02:29] I cannot get my cursor to change, can someone please help me put it back to the default? [02:29] jimmygoon: it's designed for a much earlier version of compiz; I strongly suggest you don't use it [02:29] NB2000, It didn't work :( [02:29] How do I start dhcdbd? [02:29] can anyone please highlighted message me so I know if anyone had time to catch my post [02:30] true, LjL, nice subtle clue, cheers [02:30] usser, in that case it must be my motherboard because gutsy tries to start but then it dies [02:30] my pidgin keeps saying cant send msg because of server connection problem, anyone else get this? [02:30] credible, That's what I was afraid of. The lack of a quick enable/disable is very frustrating :/ [02:30] cjae: remember there is #test [02:30] Brad01 That is yet another program to install, which wasn't mentioned in the docs. [02:30] TrustNoOne: no.. what service? [02:30] anyone know what's wrong with the partition manager? [02:30] !test [02:30] Failed. [02:30] #test the channel. [02:30] mixed: did u completely rule out software problem? ie how about any other distribution or even windows? [02:30] Brad01 I think it's sudo apt-get install dhcp3-server [02:30] IndyGunFreak, msn [02:30] mixed: do they work? [02:30] TrustNoOne: no issues for me [02:31] LjL, ahh [02:31] * TrustNoOne cries [02:31] Can anyone think of why the nvidia 169.09 (and 169.07) driver isn't detected after a restart after installation? every time i reboot, I need to stop gdm, reinstall, and restart gdm. [02:31] !apple_bootstrap [02:31] Sorry, I don't know anything about apple_bootstrap - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [02:31] usser, it's a spare system, im using an old hard drive that has ubuntu already installed [02:31] GreatBear try to google for kiosk and LTSP (terminal server) [02:31] Brad01 bear in mind there is another config file to make happy. /etc/dhcpd/dhcpd.conf I think... [02:31] TrustNoOne; from what i can see msn is down [02:31] usser, i already tried installing XP and the installation dies at some point as well [02:32] bastid_raZor, how do you see that its down [02:32] GreatBear-> a kiosk setup, a user has very limited access [02:32] bastid_raZor, because i can still msg ppl, just every couple msgs i send fail [02:32] mixed: oh i see... hm well i'd suggest try another distribution, try suse see if that will work [02:32] Can anyone here walk me through the Gnome desktop config side of an OEM Feisty install? (A good Launchpad or community.u~.com ´howto´ link would help too.) [02:32] 2 issues: 1. sometimes when roll the mouse over the title bar it clears to a white expanse and then redraws, and 2. is it possible to make vista recognise my ubuntu drive? [02:32] chuck, i'd suggest adding a mac os line to your menu.lst [02:32] TrustNoOne; it doesn't let me connect to it.. maybe it is on its way out on your end [02:32] LjL, just wondering in here cause ubuntu tends to modify things a lot and I am not familiar with the new nvidia drivers, but will try #test [02:32] usser, will do, thanks for the info, pzzz [02:32] i installed ubuntu and it created a huge swap file at almost 6gb, this is a vaste of space, is there any way i can make the swap smaller? [02:32] I have sort of an interesting little problem this time... [02:32] amenado, i'm currently using IE as the shell, with everything locked down, thats proving problematic for some websites that the library needs [02:33] Jangari: menu.lst ? [02:33] b4l74z4r: sure sudo swapoff [02:33] Why is this so hard? [02:33] !grub | chuck [02:33] chuck: 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 [02:33] b4l74z4r: and then fire up gparted [02:33] Need Help , 7.10 reboots when trying to install , right after kernel alive message, even with alternate cd [02:33] I would like to use ubuntu, most of our users can't screw that up [02:33] b4l74z4r: delete the swap partition and recreate it [02:33] ok [02:33] thanks [02:33] b4l74z4r: after its done sudo swapon [02:33] Jangari: ppc ubuntu doesn't use grub [02:33] I can't empty trash with my alsa driver packages in there. I installed the drivers, I want o get rid of these folders (unless I have to keep them) [02:33] Jangari: it uses yaboot [02:33] /boot/grub/menu.lst is the boot config file [02:33] Brad01 sure makes boot USB and a CDROM sounds tempting? :) [02:33] oh, alright then [02:33] i downloaded them from the alsa website [02:33] !yaboot [02:33] Sorry, I don't know anything about yaboot - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [02:33] b4l74z4r: just keep in mind that redoing your partitions *can* backfire (never happened to me), so backup any really important data if you're resizing your / partition [02:34] b4l74z4r: yes yes backup [02:34] then all i can do is suggest installing grub [02:34] NB2000, yeah [02:34] usser, where is gparted? [02:34] b4l74z4r: always backup when u do something liek that [02:34] ahorriblemess: yes, that seems like a horrible mess. why did you install ALSA manually? [02:34] b4l74z4r: apt-get install gparted [02:34] b4l74z4r: "sudo aptitude install gparted" [02:34] NB2000, I think I might just buy the cd-drive [02:34] ok [02:34] GreatBear-> you can have a customized system like a customized liveCD.. [02:34] thanks again [02:34] Brad01 actually I have never tried a PXE boot system. Just never needed it. === cory_ is now known as CineScope [02:35] NB2000, Thanks for the help [02:35] ok, I have a tricky one, how do I know which encoding a file uses for its file name? [02:35] Brad01 But from an old laptop point of view, I can see the need... [02:35] b4l74z4r: it'll be called "Partition Editor" under System > Administration after it's installed. [02:35] k3b complains about the encoding of some files, and suggests I use convmv [02:35] crap i got disconnected [02:35] but convmv needs to know what encoding I'm converting from [02:36] hatta: renaming them in english would be a good idea [02:36] and I don't know that, I just see the text of the file name [02:36] amenado a live cd is too slow. [02:36] I'll post again, I get this error when trying to empty trash with alsa package folders in it /home/jason.../libalisp.a" cannot be deleted because you do not have permissions to modify its parent folder. [02:36] not language, encoding [02:36] When I use Konqueror I keep getting a nsplugin error anyone know how to fix it? [02:36] GreatBear-> i did not want you to use liveCD, i said you can customize one, [02:36] hatta: files in different language often tend to have different encoding so still stands [02:36] hatta: see if u have funny named files there [02:36] ahorriblemess: does your user own the folder [02:36] yes, I have a file with an ae [02:37] ka2: I am the user.. what do you mean? [02:37] GreatBear-> google for remastering ubuntu [02:37] hatta: rename it [02:37] ahorriblemess: « sudo chown -R $USER:$USER ~/.Trash/* » - however, installing ALSA manually is far from a great idea, just for the record [02:37] ahorriblemess: your user account [02:37] amenado, i've seen that [02:37] no, I want to keep the ae [02:37] I want to use convmv to express the ae in an encoding k3b can understand [02:37] GreatBear-> then try your hand at it, customized to your specific needs [02:37] usser, i typed "sudo swapoff"and i got this "usage: swapoff [-hV] [02:37] swapoff -a [-v] [02:37] swapoff [-v] special ... [02:37] " what should i do? [02:37] hatta: if u convmv its still gonna convert that simbol to something else [02:37] hatta: is your system using UTF-8? [02:37] !paste > b4l74z4r (b4l74z4r, see the private message from Ubotu) [02:38] LjL: I don't know [02:38] how would I find out? [02:38] amenado, it still won't give me a novell connefction [02:38] hatta: "locale" [02:38] b4l74z4r: sorry swapoff -a [02:38] ok [02:38] ah yes it is [02:39] GreatBear-> what in novell you require access? [02:39] http://wiresmash.com/people/3-signs-that-she-is-into-you/ [02:39] amenado, network athentication and file server [02:39] LjL: what other ways are there to fix my soundcard without manually updating Alsa drivers/utils/lib etc./ [02:39] the file server can be met with samba [02:39] and maybe the authentication can be through ldap [02:40] but a "normal" client would be easire [02:40] there you go, ldap [02:40] GreatBear: are you talking about setting up aserver sorry i havnt been following you [02:40] ka2, no we have the server running....i want to connect to the servewr with ubuntu [02:40] thats why i need a client [02:40] GreatBear: oh [02:41] GreatBear: a client for what? === kungfu69 is now known as billkungfu [02:41] hatta: try burning with Rock Ridge and Juliet filesystem extensions [02:41] LjL: seriously because before I reinstalled, I had the soundcard working perfectly after manually installing alsa drivers and setting up the system to recognize it. Since I've reinstalled i"ve been having issues. So if manually installing alsa is bad, I'd love to know the good way so I can fix this. [02:41] ka2, a client to communicate with novell services, ayuthentication, files and printing [02:41] But its nice to know new generations of codemonkeys learn to eat mangos and cocoa still -- send me a resumes sometime in 2010 wouldja (maybe youĺl have pounded the heck out of C by them -- objectively speaking) [02:42] oops -- sawwy [02:42] ahorriblemes1: what is your sound device? [02:42] ahorriblemes1, i don't know what the problem with your soundcard is, so i don't know. if there is an actual bug with your soundcard's support, then yes, doing things manually might be the only issue - but have you reported that bug? [02:42] I was in earlier but realized the question I asked was worded wrong, can I stream music from my computer using vlc to itunes or to a browser so that vlc dosn't need to be on the 2nd computer [02:42] LjL: it's been reported, I checked [02:42] GreatBear: so it uses ldap & samba [02:42] ? [02:42] is there a directory where the trashbin items are kept? [02:42] usser, should i resize the extended partition where swap resides or shoul i resize the actual linux swap inside the extended partition? [02:42] TheZealot: ~/.Trash [02:42] zedster: i'd use shoutcast or icecast for that shoutcast is easier to setup, icecast is more powerful [02:43] b4l74z4r: are there any other partitions in extended? [02:43] ka2, i've thought about both, i kow we have ldap running, but not samba [02:43] usser, no [02:43] GreatBear: just looking for more info about the novell client [02:43] ahorriblemes1: what sound device do you have? [02:43] GreatBear: seen it but not used it [02:43] IndyGunFreak: nVidia HDA MCP67 , I've taken care of this issue before, I even added to a forum thread about repairing it... but this time it's not working [02:43] GreatBear what kind of problems you were having when you converted that rpm to .deb? what did not work or errors were you getting? [02:43] IndyGunFreak: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=575750&page=11 [02:43] b4l74z4r: can u make a screenshot of your partitions [02:43] ka2, i've seen one too, but its not a simple install [02:44] b4l74z4r: hard to tell whats your scheme is [02:44] if ./Trash doesn't exist does that mean there is no trashcan directory> ? I am using crunchbang [02:44] usser, ok, hold on a sec [02:44] usser: heres the full story I'm in frat house and want all the computers playing the same music for a party, from ice cast can I send the stream in a format that any other music program can read? [02:44] IndyGunFreak: that's the thread I used to set up my laptop, it all worked previously, just this sound card thing didn't work this time. But that post I did with the step-by-step set up worked perfectly last time [02:44] amenado, from what i've read about and asked our novell guy, there are tons of file edits everywhere [02:44] ahorriblemes1: what make/model laptop if you don't mind? [02:44] i haven't tried it myself yet [02:44] GreatBear: hmm http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2067253 it doesnt look like it is very easy :( [02:44] IndyGunFreak: HP dv6704nr [02:45] zedster: are there gonna be any shuffling or just a static playlist playing in random? [02:45] ka2, its not, novell doesn't do a very good job of supporting linux [02:45] GreatBear without trying you dont really know then if it works or not [02:45] ahorriblemes1: i can't find the bug report, do you have it handy? [02:45] IndyGunFreak: lots of issues with hp's I know, it's frustrating that I had everything set up perfectly last time, and this time it has this lingering sound card problem [02:45] GreatBear: http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/feature/14906.html maybe? [02:45] LjL: hold on I"ll search my history [02:46] Hi, Any xorg gurus around, I need help with a xorg.conf question I think I have most of it figured out. It is all explained in the pastebin http://pastebin.ca/915823 [02:46] zedster: yes u can icecast can stream mp3 [02:46] usser, i took the screenshot but how can i show it? [02:46] Does someone know about the ubuntu xvncviewer package - where there might be a source, how it is patched, and how I can get it to another distro? I'm especially talking about the "real" scrollbars and the nicer OSD. any idea? [02:46] LjL: I read on these two. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/109838, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/162556 (One is a duplicate and it was recognized as such( [02:47] LjL, I sent back here from #test [02:47] thanks [02:47] I was [02:47] would you say that ubuntu s the most popular distro? [02:47] cjae: #test was about asking to be highlighted. [02:47] Shapeshifter: http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/xvncviewer [02:47] CorruptTerrorist: its probably the most used. [02:47] hey, im running ubuntu with 512MB of ram, is there any memory tweaks I could do to boost performance? [02:48] Shapeshifter: what do you need to get that package onto another disto for [02:48] Shapeshifter: oh i see [02:48] b4l74z4r: upload it to imageshack [02:48] LjL, I was just wanting someone to let me know if they were reading my pastebin [02:48] ka2: I want to use it in Archlinux, but it seems like xvncviewer only exists as a binary for ubuntu, while the source on that page simply is "vnc4" [02:49] LjL: thing is, whatever the deal with it is, I made it work in the past. I used the same installation disc and did everything the same way... unless I missed something but I'm not sure. However, I got some more alsa packages from synaptic hoping something would fix it, but i've been transferring files from my old computer, so I didn't restart yet. [02:49] ok === mag_mor is now known as Miss_Geschick [02:49] amenado, ka2, thanks for the help....i'm gonna keep looking [02:49] LjL: he asked a xorg question in #test and told me he was sent to #test for it. i'm confused :] [02:49] /close [02:49] Shapeshifter: if you want the source code for the ubuntu package you will have to download the whole ubuntu vnc source [02:49] /window close [02:50] aaaaaarrggggghhhhhh!!!!! [02:50] arnducky, /end [02:50] azureus hash missing error [02:50] usser, http://img252.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot3jd8.png <--here it is [02:50] ka2: I had a look at the files in that source and there's nothing about xvncviewer in there actually. Do I simply need to compile the whole thing and xvncviewer will be available then, or wont that work? [02:50] i'm using this script to suspend/resume (http://pastebin.com/m46504f15). However, after resume, I have a problem with video corruption (nvidia drivers) [02:50] pawan, ask in #azureus-support about that one [02:50] Shapeshifter: i believe the whole thing yes === [1]panfist is now known as panfist [02:51] ka2: I'll try that, thanks [02:51] sysdef: i probably misunderstood. he had said "can anyone please highlighted message me so I know if anyone had time to catch my post" [02:51] I keep losing connection [02:52] b4l74z4r: hm bummer u cant really use any of that free space [02:52] b4l74z4r: since u have no where to add it to [02:52] ok [02:52] b4l74z4r: u cant modify a running root partition, and u cant add it to ntfs either [02:52] could i use the gparted live cd? [02:52] ka2: as I'm on it, I will use xtightvncviewer. I can't really tell if this is the most recent version: http://packages.ubuntu.com/edgy/x11/xtightvncviewer?lang=en but it should be I guess, right? [02:52] LjL: heh, than he's welcome in #test for it. ic :) [02:53] ahorriblemes1, I recommend checking in the forum on this, there usualy aren't a lot of wfi ppl in here www.ubuntuforums.org [02:53] Pelo: on what [02:53] b4l74z4r: yes u could, but if u do it may bork the installation, playing around with root partition is no joke [02:53] ahorriblemes1, on loosing connection [02:53] ahorriblemes1, I might have missread your problem tho [02:53] b4l74z4r: if u decide to do it get rid completely of the extended partition [02:53] usser, i see [02:54] Pelo: the connection? I'm not too worried about that, I'm on a wireless router transferring like 20gigs of mysic from another computer... I'm just getting booted from pidgin. If it persists I'll look into it. Thank you though [02:54] b4l74z4r: recreate swap in primary in the end, and add the remaining space to root [02:54] Shapeshifter: this would http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/x11/xtightvncviewer but it seems to be the sme version i will just check some more things though [02:54] ahorriblemes1: interesting bug... (and interesting that a laptop wouldn't use a hardware switch for headphones). i suppose you've tried all the "model=" suggestions on the bug report, so i don't know. you could consider making an early switch to hardy if it's a show stopper for you [02:54] usser, any idea why ubuntu would make such a large swap partiton? [02:54] Anyone here experienced with compiz-fusion? [02:54] http://www.googlubuntu.com/ [02:54] b4l74z4r: twice the size of your memory what u got 3gb? [02:55] Shapeshifter: the ubuntu tightvncviewer seems to be outdated maybe try http://www.tightvnc.com/? [02:55] usser, 2gb [02:55] Bricke1, some, but mostly you want to go to #compiz-fusion [02:55] i hace compiz Bricke1 [02:55] b4l74z4r: hm dunno tried to play it safe pbbly :) [02:55] b4l74z4r: was that the default partitioning scheme? [02:55] I'm trying to get it to work. Installed the restricted driver, did xserver-xgl, and it still won't enable. any ideas? [02:55] LjL: yeah it is a strange problem. I've been reading a little about hardy, when I was setting up my wifi I read that Hardy will support newer broadcom chipsets or something... the headphone thing isn't a huge deal, I might get it working... [02:56] Bricke1: been using compiz since 2006 starting with ye olde compiz-quinnstorm so i guess i am sorta experienced [02:56] LjL: Hardy isn't stable though right? I mean, wouldn't I have more issues using an unstable version? [02:56] usser, yes, i chose to use the largest continuous free space [02:56] Bricke1: but im sure there is plenty i dont know [02:56] ka2: k... But it's still irritating me that there's no word of xtightvncviewer in that package or xvncviewer in the vnc4 package. not in the readme, and there's no file like that... I wonder how I was able to just apt-get xvncviewer back then. [02:56] ahorriblemes1: most likely - i was only suggesting it in case you really considered that bug a show stopper for some reason. [02:56] b4l74z4r: well thats strange how it partitioned it what can i say [02:56] hey, im running ubuntu with 512MB of ram, is there any memory tweaks I could do to boost performance? [02:56] hi. I am reinstalling ubuntu. i have copied all the files under the apt-cache folder, do i need to run any command so when i install i don't have to download them again. i have tried, but it seems it is downloading everything from the server. [02:56] can anyone tell me how to use find to find any file with a certain set of letter anywhere in the file's name or expension? I am readon the man page but don't understand which switch to use [02:57] LjL: did you get those last two messageS? [02:57] Shapeshifter: odd. but that is the source package xvncviewer was built from [02:57] endo: you should have moderately good performance as it is. [02:57] endo: set something like 2GB for swap memory [02:57] TheZealot, perhaps better if you make a practical example [02:57] ticky: how do I go about doing that? [02:57] Shapeshifter: as i said you could just try getting tightvnc [02:57] usser, i'm gonna give gparted live a try, i can't have this terrible waste of spacce [02:57] ahorriblemess: "yeah it's a strange problem" and "hardy isn't stable"? yes. i replied: most likely - i was only suggesting it in case you really considered that bug a show stopper for some reason. [02:57] end: you already did it when you installed ubuntu [02:57] Shapeshifter: or the GNOME terminal services client [02:57] ok so are there any boards that ubuntu has trouble being compatable with the sound-card drivers? [02:58] endo: i think you can run qparted (the partition editor, under System>Administration) [02:58] was trying to research it, but haven't found anything yet [02:58] Anja, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport [02:58] Anja: only ones that seem to consistently be a major issue, are the Intel HDA chipsets.. but there's fixes and work arounds [02:59] anyone here able to send me there nvidia xorg.conf so I can copy out somethings not generated by sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [02:59] ka2: there's no xtightvncviewer on the tightvnc page eighter... that's what is confusing me the most... it's like there's no trace xvncviewer or xtightvncviewer "ever existed" [02:59] um how do i know what socket my board is? i just have the brand and model number. [02:59] not socket. [02:59] Shapeshifter: its part of the tightvnc package [03:00] Anja, look it up on the maker's website [03:00] ticky: my memory is always at 72% in use by programs [03:00] Anja: open a terminall and type "lspci" no quotes, then hit enter, look and see how it identifies your ssound device. [03:00] Shapeshifter: thats what packages.debian.org is for [03:00] cjae: just got to find a pastebin to put it in [03:00] <_roo> hi all - i've just found out my server has been hacked :( [03:00] endo: how big is your HD, and how much have you set aside for swap [03:00] ka2: could it be that it's simply vncviewer / tightvncviewer with certain options or a special patch? Yeah but there's no xvncviewer inside that package. at least I can't find something like that. [03:00] <_roo> a root kit.. :( :( [03:00] !pastebin | ka2 [03:00] ka2: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lines texts so you don't flood the channel.

[03:52] !ask | Shkeve [03:52] Shkeve: 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. :-) [03:52] but i just cant leave [03:52] Shkeve, state your problem === Palace is now known as Palace_Chan [03:52] lol, I was about to ask you about that ka2 [03:52] sorry [03:52] ka2, would you like us to ban you ? if that helps [03:52] lol [03:52] but I get just a black screen when I boot gutsy [03:52] Could anyone tell me how to set the tty console keyboard layout without depending on X server being installed? [03:52] Shkeve, what video card ? [03:53] Shkeve: How long did you let the black screen sit? [03:53] any idea why upgrade from 7.04 to 7.10 kills my display brightness controls and remote? [03:53] ati radeo xpress 200 [03:53] Shouldn't an upgrade make things better, not worse? [03:53] stefano: sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup I think [03:53] I've installed it and have been using it for about a week now with no trouble. [03:53] whats the general chat ubuntu channel? [03:53] nickrud, Isn't there a command i could execute without depending on dpkg? [03:54] !offtopic [03:54] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [03:54] thanks [03:54] im having wifi probs.. anyone wanna help me out? [03:54] Shkeve, boot the recovery mode and type sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, select the vesa driver and leave the rest on default unless you know better [03:54] stefano: debconf is the ubuntu configureator, that's how you access it [03:54] !wifi > iKap check for a private message windows with instructions from ubotu [03:54] what does that do, so I know? [03:54] hey guys [03:54] Shkeve, give the black screen a few minutes, no more than 5. Some times ubuntu doesn't display the loading screen, but a black screen. [03:55] Shkeve: are you using the fglrx (restricted) driver? [03:55] Pelo, already looked through that. [03:55] dang, before i can even get the i in ikap out youve already blasted it his way...and i use the bot a lot :P [03:55] yes [03:55] bb-N-20 [03:55] Shkeve, it reconfigures xorg for the video card, the vesa driver is jsut the default for cards with no FOSS drivers,it will get you a gui back so youcan deal with the problem [03:55] Shkeve, if you see the lights that indicate HDD usage blinking while this black screen is on, it is probably that. [03:55] does anybody here knows upstart?? [03:55] anyone here run the eeepc ubuntu install script? just curious if that is a script that plays nice withubuntu packager or whether or not its one of those idiotic automatix types of things that does its own thing? [03:55] Shkeve: it does that, there's a bug listed for it. When you do the reconfigure, use the ati driver. It's better than the vesa (sorry Pelo) [03:56] I'm able to be on the net right now because I pressed the Prt Scrn button, and opened up help from there. [03:56] * Pelo will never forgive nickrud for contradicting him [03:56] Shkeve: I have the same chip as you, and don't use the fancy desktop because of it [03:56] I'll try that now though. Thanks for the advice. [03:57] does sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg have to be run from recovery mode? === wasta_ is now known as davidz [03:57] prince_jammys, no ti can be run from the termnal [03:57] prince_jammys: no, it can be run any time. It takes effect the next time X is started [03:57] ok [03:58] just checking whether i gave the wrong advice to about 150 people [03:58] prince_jammys: suggesting it in recovery is useful if you get a report of black screen, they can't see anything [03:58] prince_jammys, been there, sucks when you realise it [03:59] i use a screenwriting program called celtx; ubuntu insists on opening celtx as a zip archive, though I've set it to always open with celtx - opening the file from within celtx works fine. Is there another way to set the default program? [03:59] nickrud: i see [04:00] what happens with libgdk libpango and libpng ? there is a big issue with those [04:00] tucci, the only way I know is , pick the file wiht the corect type, right click properties, open with , addthe correct app to the list, set it to default , remove the others [04:00] It is as simple as copying files from an ISO to boot ubuntu from a USB to install on a PC? [04:00] tucci: you should report it as a bug on bugs.launchpad.net , against the package file. attach a small example file [04:01] Any of you guys run Gentoo at all? [04:01] It seems like another solid distro. [04:01] Suhail: sorry I only just came back what are you wanting to do? [04:01] pelo: thanks, did that, except I don't know how to remove the others [04:01] Suhail, more or less , make sure they are top level in the folder structure [04:01] I want to install ubuntu on my PC but I don't want to burn the ISO to a CD but to a USB drive instead. [04:01] nickrud: there is no package file, AFAIK, I had to download the program from the website [04:01] Suhail: you can do that [04:01] tucci, in the same dialog, you dhould be able to select the apps and hit a remove button [04:02] Suhail: you need a 1Gb+ one [04:02] hi guys. is there a limit on the number of files that I can put in a directory? [04:02] I have 2GB + [04:02] !install > Suhail check for a private message windows with instructions from ubotu [04:02] Windows says it's empty but I am not sure if it REALLY is :P [04:02] <[BreliC]> anyone here good with python? [04:02] <[BreliC]> for some reason I can't join the channel [04:02] tucci: no, I mean the ubuntu package 'file' . That has the magic stuff that recognizes file types, and it only sees your files as zips. try file to check [04:02] Suhail: but you will need linux to do it :( [04:02] lol [04:02] [BreliC]: I know a little [04:02] [BreliC], you need to be registered on the network , type /msg nickserv register help [04:03] Maybe I should just screw it and just install it via burning it to a cd. [04:03] <[BreliC]> i am registered [04:03] [BreliC]: some channels require registration, it cuts down on spammers and trolls [04:03] <[BreliC]> what's the command to log in again? [04:03] <[BreliC]> haven't been on in a while [04:03] [BreliC]: /msg nickserv identify [04:03] [BreliC], /msg nickserv identify passowrd [04:04] g'night folks [04:04] <[BreliC]> thanks guys [04:05] <[BreliC]> i'm working on a few screenlets and just wanted some python help [04:05] pelo: thx, didn't fix it, but thx [04:05] [BreliC]: more specific [04:05] please? [04:05] nickrud: I see, okay, it does say it is a zip archive, needing 2.0 to open, I'll file the bug [04:05] please take python to python :) [04:06] [BreliC]: #python may be of help [04:06] <[BreliC]> ka2, i'll ask my questions in the python channel [04:06] tucci: you should probably search to see if it's already filed, of course [04:06] <[BreliC]> ka2, thanks, that's where i am now :) [04:06] nickrud: k [04:07] Does anyone know if Cedega is better than WINE for older games? [04:08] How to set the keyboard layout / keymap in the tty console in a ubuntu instalation that has no X installed? [04:08] RJ__: which games [04:08] RJ__: it depends [04:08] I want to run steam games, like HL2, and games like Civ 3 and WC3 [04:08] And if possible to work with any other linux installation. [04:09] RJ__: maybe have a look at the wine appdb? htpp://appdb.winehq.org [04:09] stefano: that stuff is scattered all over /etc , each distro will have it's own tools/layout [04:09] the gksudo doesn't like running the mtpfs command [04:09] I have my own custome layout. [04:09] hmm [04:09] I jst did the steps I was told, and now, the screen is the beige color that it is before the desktop loads, but the desktop doesn't load [04:09] Thanks, Ill give that a try [04:10] stefano: have you tried messing around with loadkeys? [04:10] nickrud, I have my own custom layout, and if I run "dpkg-reconfigure console-setup" will it not depend on X? [04:11] mage, that is a temporary fix. [04:11] stefano: then look for boottime.kmap.gz in /etc/console-setup. I played with that stuff so long ago .. [04:11] nickrud, ok thanks for the info. [04:11] stefano: no, that setup is completely separate from X [04:11] how to install CCSM?is it through synaptic manager...? [04:11] stefano: but it probably won't see your custom stuff anyway [04:12] stefano: the dpkg-reconfigure I mean, in my last [04:12] uday: compizconfig-settings-manager [04:12] ok, so I have ubuntu 7.04 livecd, and right now, my fn-keys work fine on my toshiba a100. my remote works fine as well. They will continue to work fine after I install and update. As soon as I go to 7.10, they stop working. the keys don't show up in xev. what on earth could be handling them? [04:12] can someone help me with this problem? [04:13] cycom: X might be ignoring them? [04:13] I didn't know funky keys show up in xev [04:14] mage__: they may not. but how would they be handled otherwise? [04:14] Hi, if someone can help me with my internet with ubuntu, PLEASE message me [04:14] cycom: try system > preferences > keyboard shortcuts ? [04:14] !ask | bnmjosh83 [04:14] bnmjosh83: 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. :-) [04:14] cycom: it can help sometimes to go through and assign them [04:15] ka2: they don't show up as keycodes. how would I assign them? [04:15] cycom: kernel could be ignoring them, kernel could be sticking those buttons as a fancy /dev/ file, or they need to be assigned, [04:15] cycom: that could be a problem :) [04:15] fn + f7 just shows as f7. [04:15] nickrud: ya did that.is it sufficient to enable desktop 3d effects.? [04:15] huh [04:15] I have been have this problem. I use Ndiswrapper for my wireless card . unstalled the old ndiswrapper and install the new one 1.49 . I still can't get my routers web page. anyone have any idea what that might be [04:15] but in 7.04, my brightness changes [04:15] there is any visual tool to create a gtkrc without knowing the syntax of gtkrc? [04:16] uday: no, you need to make sure you're using the right video driver, and go to system->prefs->appearance effects tab [04:16] hell, even in command line the brightness changes [04:16] so it's not X [04:16] killown: don't we wish === _max` is now known as max` [04:16] nickrud: it will ask about the video driver & offer to install it [04:16] ka2: if it's supported [04:17] killown: for murrine ther is [04:17] ther [04:17] there [04:17] hi,i got this damn thing,this day i installed debian,which ubuntu is based on,when i got to "install grub" power is off,then i restart after a while,i cannot boot into debian,but already have debian installed to the disk,anyway to fix this [04:17] My ubuntu desktop isn't loading.

[04:24] <[BreliC]> the #python channel is not that helpful [04:24] [BreliC]: on the screenlets site I think [04:25] [BreliC]: i will check [04:25] <[BreliC]> ka2, i looked, but didn't find it anywhere [04:25] does anyone else have any ideas on how to recover a desktop that won't load? I'm using ubuntu 7.10 [04:25] [BreliC]: http://www.screenlets.org/index.php/Documentation#Developers ? [04:25] http://screenlets.org/index.php/Documentation#Developers [04:25] <[BreliC]> i'd like to know the class descriptions, etc.. i can't even find it on my machine! weird.. it's not in the python mods directory [04:25] Shkeve: what were you doing the last time it worked [04:25] oops a little late [04:25] ok, so i sucessfully edited /etc/fstab on my other computer to auto mount a pair of extra 6 gig hdds under the home folder's to Documents and Music, and i changed it so user owns them and theres 666 write permissions on them, but i tried draging and dropping a file into one and it says "Error: you do not have permission to write to this folder" so im thinking i need to change it so the user owns the extra hard drives instead of roo [04:25] t. how do i change the owner of a hard disk though? [04:25] [BreliC]: sorry, those aren't links, only placeholders I guess [04:25] Hi I cannot delete some files on a MMC card. I get an error message "rm: cannot remove `/media/disk/delme//someFile': Read-only file system" [04:25] *snooze* [04:26] <[BreliC]> nickrud, exactly.. that's what i ran into last time [04:26] should i expect to get awful performance in a game like frets on fire with a geforce 4? [04:26] panfist: probably [04:26] new2ubuntu: if you cock up a file system on a flash card, might be a good idea to offload it, format it, and throw stuff back on [04:27] bluefoxx: ext3 or ntfs/vfat? [04:27] <[BreliC]> nickrud, ka2 do you guys know where the screenlets module actually resides on the machine? [04:27] <[BreliC]> even a search doesn't bring it up, yet it doesn't cause an error when i import it in a *.py program [04:27] how do I ring the "bell" on the other end of an SSH connection? [04:27] ka2 so what graphics card do i need to get smooth performance...right now not even 640x480 is playable [04:27] *falls asleep* [04:27] panfist: i am only guessing [04:27] [BreliC]: I can read only simple python, so I'm not the one to help [04:27] mage__: I was thinking of doing that. Is there a way to tell what the file system is so that I can reformat it with the same one? (I use it for a cell phone) [04:27] bluefoxx, sudo chown -R freddie:freddie /nas2 where freddie is your username ... and /nas2 is your mountpoint... then sudo chmod -R 755 /nas2 [04:27] how are we all today? [04:27] <[BreliC]> nickrud, haha, no sweat [04:28] panfist: i assume you have the nvidia drivers [04:28] n2diy: uh, do you want to beep thier PC speaker? [04:28] mage__: yes [04:28] new2ubuntu: type mount, no args [04:28] ka2 i believe so, restricted drivers are enabled and i get about 1000fps with glxgears, so i assume its working right? [04:28] mount | grep /mnt/disk if you love typing [04:29] n2diy: maybe try freshmeat? [04:29] mage__: ubuntu does automounting that under /media [04:29] nickrud, the drives are both ext3 formatted with "sudo mkfs.ext3 /dev/hdb && sudo mkfs.ext3 /dev/hdd", as i cant get a new aptoncd disk without a burner and the one i had with gparted on it doesn't have the extra libs needed[the other comp has no net access, i need a router] [04:29] oh [04:29] panfist: im getting 2600fps [04:29] oh dear i need a better emerald theme [04:29] mage__: freshmeat!? I thought it was ctrl-g? [04:29] vitamin-carrot: still using emerald? [04:29] mage__: I got the data vfat,, with a lot of parameters (rw,nosuid,nodev,shortname=.......) will I need to know these parameters to correct format it? [04:29] yeah [04:30] why is there somehting better? [04:30] I just installed gutsy about a week ago. Since then I had been trying to get wmv support, so I was installing and removing different media players, trying to get it to work. I rebooted the computer today and the desktop won't load. [04:30] any ideas anyone? [04:30] ka2 what kind of hardware do you have [04:30] n2diy: well try sending a ctrl+g to /dev/console [04:30] and i figured out why i can't connect all my computers to the net. my "router" as it was labled is a mere [read:useless] hub/switch [04:30] I also installed gnutella [04:30] vitamin-carrot: with modern compiz you just use metacity themes [04:30] new2ubuntu: nope! [04:30] bluefoxx: ok, with the disk mounted, do sudo chown /path/to/mount/point , then you can write there as your usual user [04:30] metacity aye? [04:30] panfist: Geforce 8400GS, cheap [04:30] pumpkins of doom aye? [04:31] mage__: roger that. [04:31] bluefoxx: yup, switches are not routers, but do have uses [04:31] ka2 yeah i could use one of those [04:31] mage__: sorry one last question, I'm not familiar with vfat,, I thought it would have said fat16, [04:31] Shkeve: wmv is as easy as enabling the restricted drivers, what all did you try to install manually.. can you get to recovery mode and a cli prompt [04:31] vitamin-carrot: most people dont use emerald anymore [04:31] nickrud, like if i wanted to print to several networked printers at once? [04:31] panfist: i used to have a geforce 4 though [04:31] bluefoxx: no, expand your router ports [04:31] sorry i sill use emerald cause i had it on fedora [04:32] panfist: it was ok for planetpenguinracer & compiz [04:32] sorry, but I'm completely new at linux, and I don't understand all the jargon. But I installed mplayer, vlc, totem, xine, etc. at different times [04:32] penguinracer rule(d)! [04:32] trial and error [04:32] I can't say if that was definitely the cause of the problem either [04:33] nickrud, allready done that command, typed in "sudo chown user:user /home/user/Documents && sudo chmod 666 /home/user/Documents" for both documents and music folders, to no avail [04:33] nickrud: now there is extremetuxracer [04:33] awwww now i have to go into sunaptic and remove emerald [04:33] Shkeve: I really like vlc,, I've never had a problem [04:33] nickrud, ah, that could be usefull [04:33] new2ubuntu: for some reason vfat works better than the other choices like msdos, fat16 [04:33] ka2: gotta check it out. [04:33] o0o0o0o0o [04:33] vitamin-carrot: no i am getting a link to some themes [04:33] pizzza for dinner [04:33] I had also gotten an error saying that 'User's $HOME/.dmrc file is being ignored.' [04:33] mage__: thanks for the help!! [04:33] cheers ka2 [04:33] Shkeve, what's the issue? [04:33] anything awesome on the forums? [04:33] I checked a forum and got a few commands to enter into the terminal, and I did that. [04:34] Shkeve: Do you get to a "DOS "like prompt? [04:34] now, I don't get the error, but the desktop still doesn't load [04:34] vitamin-carrot: try here http://tinyurl.com/3bc2xb [04:34] Shkeve: that you need to fix, sudo chown ~/.dmrc && chmod 600 ~/.dmrc [04:34] I can get to the terminal, yes [04:34] but I have to reboot to do it [04:34] n2diy: I got nothing on this :) [04:34] Shkeve, theres several usefull threads on that error in the forums, i had that error a while ago when trying to edit home folder permissions [04:34] Shkeve: sudo dpkg-reconfigure-xserver-xorg set to vesa card and 1024 max res to get basic gui [04:34] Shkeve: you really need to fix the .dmrc problem first, see my last [04:34] lol indirection [04:35] cheers ka2 [04:35] I did that step already, the xorg reconfigure [04:35] mage__: OK, thanks? [04:35] and I believe I fixed the .dmrc problem, since I don't get the error anymore [04:35] but my desktop still won't load [04:35] say, anyone wanna lend me $60CDN? i need a second LCD moniter and i got a source selling me one for 59+tax [04:35] n2diy: well if you come up with something tell me please ;) [04:35] Err, i changed my mouse to DMZ Black and it keeps going in and out of DMZ Black and White if i use firefox its black other then that its white.. [04:35] Shkeve, Have you tried the failsafe session yet? [04:36] I'm in the process of upgrading from 6.10 to 7.04. However, in Software Updates, every time I attempt to do the upgrade I get an error message that says "Authentication failed." Any suggestions? [04:36] mage__: Ok, you want to know how to ring the bell? [04:36] yeas, jordan, and it didn't work [04:36] Lapointe: do sudo apt-get update first [04:36] Lapointe, Hit the "check" button [04:37] Shkeve: http://linuxfud.wordpress.com/2007/02/14/how-to-reset-ubuntugnome-settings-to-defaults-without-re-installing/ or try this line in cli rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity [04:37] Lapointe: or check :) [04:37] what is cli? [04:37] n2diy echo -e "\a" [04:37] is that the terminal? [04:37] amenado: we're trying to do it remotely [04:37] Shkeve: yes [04:37] nickrud: Already fading.. goodnight... tell the others I said Hi... [04:37] like ssh and have someones computer grab thier attention [04:38] k [04:38] Jack_Sparrow: wll do [04:38] mage__-> if you are ssh'd in to a remote location, what you display is the remote end [04:38] nickrud: nothing came up. I've already installed the 277+ upgrades that it had listed. [04:38] amenado: thanks [04:38] Jack_Sparrow: get some rest, see you 'Monday' [04:38] This is the log I got accessed by my box: 91.189.94.4...using 123.. anybody has the idea about this? [04:39] Lapointe: try the sudo apt-get update, it should show a bunch of files that it downloads or 'hits' [04:39] mage_ but off course that is your terminal, for someone else, you have to be allowed to write to their pty [04:39] ok i am really going this time :) === Firefox is now known as SnoFox [04:39] * nickrud takes bets [04:39] haha maybe I dont have a speaker hooked up to my linux box [04:39] HIII [04:39] HAI! [04:39] <_Maltron_> Hi? [04:40] rhineheart_m-> what is that ip address? [04:40] Hi...? [04:40] nickrud: okay, a list came up [04:40] how can I get full root in ubuntu? Not sudo, but full root. [04:40] Lapointe: now, do sudo apt-get upgrade [04:40] Onyx sudo is full root access [04:40] amenado: that's the one being accessed by my box by her own.. [04:40] onyx, type "su" from bash [04:40] nickrud: again? [04:40] sudo -i [04:41] !root [04:41] 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 [04:41] Lapointe: upgrade , not update this time [04:41] i am so at a loss. D': [04:41] amenado: No it's not. [04:41] nickrud: ah [04:41] Onyx: yes. it. is. [04:41] Onyx noh? can you come up with what command a root can execute that you can not do in sudo? [04:41] zcat[1]: Really? It gives root privileges. It's not root dude. [04:42] nickrud: 0 upgraded, 0 new instal 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded [04:42] !noroot | Bossmanbeta [04:42] Bossmanbeta: We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-) [04:42] Onyx: yes it is.. sudo -i is a root shell, exactly the same as you would get setting a root password and logging in as root [04:42] amenado: IP location tells me that it is in UNITED KINGDOM using canonical -core as the hostname [04:42] Lapointe: do you have some third party repos? [04:42] nickrud: repos? [04:42] n2diy: have you tried beep? [04:42] sudo -s will give root btw [04:42] Lapointe: like medibuntu , places to get software other than from ubuntu itself [04:42] rhineheart_m-> so you are accessing a remote box, the issue is? [04:43] anyone else have any idea to troubleshoot a soundcard that's built in to my motherboard? [04:43] nickrud: nope, I got one of the free CDs that get sent out [04:43] nickrud: from ShipIt [04:43] hrm is there a screenlet for irc? [04:44] Lapointe: Odd that you don't have the current key for the repositories. A sec. [04:44] Anja: what sort of trouble shooting? === osxdude|overhere is now known as osxdude|laptop [04:45] mage - OHk, was in here earlier, i am having trouble getting anythig except for a pc beep, soundwise [04:45] ah [04:45] Lapointe: do sudo apt-get install ubuntu-keyring [04:45] it recognizes it when i do a couple different commands in the bash [04:45] everything is unmuted and plugged in the correct holes [04:45] speakers are turned on, and brand new out of the box [04:46] nickrud: ubuntu-leyring is already the newest version [04:46] ok, found the problem with the other drives on the other computer. i needed to chmod 774 not chmod 666 them, after a quick couple changes to the command i can now write to them again:) my only concern is i might lose write privliges upon rebooting, as they are internal 6 gig volumes automatically mounted to these points upon bootup by my edited fstab file [04:47] amenado: no.. m accessing the box remotely.. but it logs tells me that it accessed that IP somewhere in UK.. do you think its a threat? [04:47] bluefoxx: what? [04:47] anyone know how to make uswsusp default? [04:47] Lapointe: a sec again [04:47] bluefoxx: the /dev/sda1 should be 666 but the mount point should be 7?? [04:47] Anja: hah i dont have sound on my ubuntu box either it seems [04:48] yeah i'm really disappointed, i just got a new monitor and wanted to try out some of the films i have [04:48] and i have a couple sites that i frequent with video [04:48] rhineheart_m-> and you were expecting an ip from where? the box you are trying to access is from where? [04:49] i cannot figure it out, for the life of me. is driving me insane [04:49] Anja: pastebin lsmod and lspci [04:49] how can I tell what color my video card is set at it gutsy gibbon? I dont see if its 16 or 32 in any of the interface screens [04:49] amenado: no.. my point is..the box is accessing an IP by her own well in fact I didn't use it to access such IP..

[04:50] how to install emerald themes [04:50] why you should do that [04:50] Hello. How do I get music off of my ipod and onto my computer? [04:50] rhineheart_m-> you have a web browser active at the time this is logged? and were browsing a site? [04:50] gorbierd: ctrl+c would stop it [04:51] thanx mage! [04:51] mage__, i edited my /etc/fstab to automatically mount a pair of internal hard drives to the user[thats the acutal account name] /home/user/Documents and /home/user/Music folders, then when i tried to acess them it wouldnt let me read them, much less write to them.. so i used chown user:user /home/user/ then chmod 666 /home/user/ but it didnt let me write, so chmod 774 fixed it. these are internal IDE [04:51] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> Zasch, try gtkpod? [04:51] hard disk drives, not external usb/firewire mounted volumes [04:51] gorbierd: to start it up again, `jobs` and then %# where # is the job number [04:52] bluefoxx: you can set a umask or something really similar in the fstab [04:52] [Hardy]TuTUXG: I did. A dialogue window pops up that asks me for the name pattern, but I don't know what it all means and so I just press "OK", and then it says the pattern doesn't match the file and it freezes [04:52] mage__, how so? [04:52] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> Zasch, so find out the name of ur ipod partition and try again [04:53] Can anyone tell me how to see the color in ubuntu? Im not sure where to see if its set to 16 bit or 32 bit [04:53] Hello there [04:53] bluefoxx: umask=000, a umask is the opposite of uh, 777, so 774 is 003 i think [04:53] ok was floodbotted so here's one of the thingy's [04:53] Lapointe: try this, it will make sure you have the latest authentication key from ubuntu: gpg –recv-keys 40976EAF437D05B5 && gpg –export –armor 40976EAF437D05B5 | sudo apt-key add - [04:53] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57149/ [04:53] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> Zasch, by the way i think u should try gtkpod from medibuntu repo [04:53] mage__, my main concern is i'll have to do it all over again upon reboot, so i think i'll make a shell script and remove the user password[comp is used mainly by my grandfather who has a tendancy to not remember passwords] [04:53] bluefoxx: it sets the same permissions for files and dirs, which is a tad annoying [04:54] and then the other : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57150/ [04:54] rw,umask=003,user=oldguy [04:54] mage__, wear in fstab does this go? in the "options" column? [04:54] yea [04:55] order doesn't matter, but no spaces [04:55] mage__, ok, will try that tvm :) [04:55] how to install emerald themes?

(I am installing a cedega engine, but I have Cedega installed already) or does it need to run in the same directory as cedega? [05:01] If anyone could guide me trough "make ubuntu to a router", pls priv msg me [05:01] amenado, desktop has NIC, laptop does too; modem has 1 Ethernet and 1 USB. Trying to avoid buying switch. Any way to use USB net connection on my laptop? [05:01] hard to hold track her [05:01] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57150/ [05:01] Lapointe: hm, are you sure you did gpg -recv-keys ? It should go to the net and find the key [05:02] nickrud: wil try again [05:02] moidekar: you can drop a second nic into the desktop and bridge. [05:02] moidekar-> what is the usb port on the modem for? do you know for what purpose it is for? [05:03] My box got 3 NIC's [05:03] cfedde, thanks, but I want to be able to use them independently; Mum uses desktop only, I use lappy only, both not on at same time (necessarily) :-) [05:03] bukk easy to make your ubuntu act as gateway/router [05:03] many modern mother boards have more thean one. [05:03] connected to one router and one switch [05:03] mage_, did those translate alright? [05:03] amenado, : Could you please guide me [05:03] never used that before [05:03] Anja: if you run alsamixer it complains about no device? [05:03] amenado, it's an alternative network connection according to the manual [05:03] no one has a command to see my current color setting?

[05:04] nickrud: my backup is 8gb need to do some cleaing :) [05:04] But it dosnt work [05:04] nickrud: same thing again, double checked [05:04] amenado, cfedde, I tried, and Ubuntu doesn't detect the network connection when I plug USB into laptop [05:04] sdsheeks: sudo apt-get clean is the tool [05:04] bukk-> you have to do it as root, so sudo and the command above [05:05] I was hoping someone could give me some tips [05:05] nickrud: thx [05:05] Anja: first result on googling your soundcard is a silly guy who plugged into the wrong jack, but when I install gutsy it always sets up the mixer at the top wrong [05:05] Lapointe: I don't know what's wrong then. [05:05] on how to get an uptodate driver [05:05] uday, Go to www.gnome-look.org and go to search then search in the description thing for Emerald [05:05] I have done sudo ./rc.firewall restart 100 times [05:05] I get an interesting error whenever I try to install anything, i still can install stuff and it works, but the error still comes up: Setting up runit (1.6.0-1) ...grep: /etc/inittab: No such file or directory grep: /etc/inittab: No such file or directory Adding SV inittab entry...cp: cannot stat `/etc/inittab': No such file or directory dpkg: error processing runit (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned [05:05] error exit status 1Setting up bzr (1.0-1~gutsy1) ...Setting up gnome-common (2.20.0-0ubuntu1) ...Errors were encountered while processing: runitE: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) [05:05] hi there, just wondering if it is possible to mount Fat32 filesystems under ubuntu [05:05] moidekar you have to figure out what you get from the usb port of that modem, a serial link? [05:05] mage_, i have master, master m, pcm, surround, surround, center, lfe, line, cd, mic [05:05] nickrud: k, thanks for the help though man! [05:05] for the USB connection; driver CD for BB modem has old 2.4 kern driver source [05:05] !ntfs [05:05] To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see /msg ubotu NTFS-3g or /msg ubotu FUSE [05:05] and a plethora of others [05:05] they're all unmuted [05:05] bukk: there are router distros available, IPCop is one, if I remember. [05:06] amenado, I tried modprobing usbserial and cdc-acm and a few other modules, but nothing [05:06] Quantz: yeah, you can [05:06] hmm [05:06] I wasn't thinking that would work, since Ubu is darn good at doing that detection itself :-) [05:06] IPcop: takes a whole HD [05:06] bukk then you have to sudo iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o EXTERNALINTFHERE -j MASQUERADE [05:06] Anja: try cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp that should either error or get ugly stuff coming out of speakers [05:06] and its hard to wmware it with several NICS [05:06] yeah i have no clue, i have read through the troubleshooting sites that were given me, on ubuntu's stuff [05:06] hello [05:06] ok brb [05:06] amenado, any ideas how I can figure out what the link is supp to give me? [05:07] hotmonkeyluv: /etc/inittab is depreciated in gutsy, that package shouldn't be trying to work with it. It's a bug. You could probably do sudo touch /etc/inittab , run sudo apt-get -f install to fix that error. You should remove that package immediatley afterwares [05:07] bukk: the router should be separate from your servers. [05:07] amenado, : Ok, sec [05:07] donkey: hello [05:07] moidekar-> assuming that usb port gives you serial access, then you need to activate ppp on your ubuntu, a config you must do [05:07] can someone remember that if sudobash comes back on brambo is looking for him, thanks fellow unbunuter's :) [05:07] moidekar visit the vendor's web site and get a description [05:07] whats the terminal command to list specific hardware? [05:08] nickrud: found the solution. http://onlyubuntu.blogspot.com/2007/03/upgrade-ubuntu-610-edgy-eft-to-ubuntu.html [05:08] hotmonkeyluv: oh, yes, get right of it [05:08] Bibbie: something like lspci? [05:08] lspci? [05:08] hotmonkeyluv: s/right/rid/ [05:08] Bibbie: lshw [05:08] :-) thats the one [05:08] Arm: it is [05:08] amenado, ok, will check out mfrr's website, but just for the record, PPPoE is alread running on the BB modem... I don;t use it when I use the Ethernet connection [05:08] rjune even [05:09] Lapointe: hah. You didn't have the gpg trust.db to work with, that's the file not found. I'll remember that [05:09] moidekar you have way too many connections, you have to explain what they are [05:09] mage_, how long does it take? [05:09] why it always shows that my password is wrong? [05:09] nickrud: so, i run sudo touch /etc/inittab, then apt-get -f install. then how do i remove it? [05:10] Anja: its usually noticably immediately [05:10] guest_-> you entered it wrong? [05:10] an error would be instantanious [05:10] hotmonkeyluv: sudo apt-get remove --purge runit . I only hope that the ubuntu startup didn't get hosed. [05:10] no.... [05:10] hotmonkeyluv: i can see all my filesystems like ntfs and ext3, however not the fat32 ones. running 7.10 off the DVD [05:10] Anja: are your speakers hooked up properly? maybe theres two outs and only one works in linux [05:10] are there any PC-based oscilloscopes in kubuntu/ubuntu? [05:10] nickrud: and what does the "touch" command do, and what does the -f do? (so I learn it) [05:10] tamenado: i use this password for 2 years [05:10] hotmonkeyluv: shouldn't have been, it's a lot different than what runit is modifying [05:11] guest how do you know that you did type in the correct one? [05:11] amenado: i use this password for 2 years [05:11] mage_it's just sitting there - and um... i only know of one outlet. :( [05:11] Makuseru: that might be a bit too specialized for this chatroom [05:11] guest_-> but it is not taking it now yesh? [05:11] ok...i'm wrong sorry [05:11] hotmonkeyluv: touch on an existing file changes the access date to the current date and time, creates the file if it doesn't exist. -f means fix [05:11] Quantz: hm, live dvd? not sure about that [05:11] my layout keyboard default Thai [05:11] oh, i was also wondering...how can i moniter my eth1 port?it is the main one used to connect to the net[onboard] and i want to see what processes are using it and how much of my average of 30kb/s are being used by it, as even when i have no internet programs running it seems to average an average of 5kb/s out and 12kb/s in...and i want to know whats using them [05:11] nickrud: cool [05:11] Anja: odd, because it has sound going somewhere [05:11] mage__: where should i ask? [05:11] i know lemme check again [05:12] sorry :( [05:12] Okay, I give up. How do I install a cedega engine onto cedega? [05:12] hotmonkeyluv, note that the file created by touch will be of zero size, so it cannot test if a disk is full [05:12] mage_ does it end? it hasn't gone back to the normal bash-prompt [05:12] Anja: nope [05:12] infinitycircuit: k [05:12] Makuseru: do a google for linux oci, see I cant even spell that word! :) [05:12] I have Cedega installed, but no engine, so I did the tar thing with the engine file [05:12] amenado, Done [05:12] Makuseru: if it exists on linux theres either source, or a ubuntu package [05:12] But I cant put it in the directory of cedega [05:13] I cant access it [05:13] bukk working now? [05:13] amenado, I have an ADSL modem/router which does connection to ISP running onboard PPPoE; has firewall etc; I have one laptop and one desktop; both are not on simultaneously; switching Ethernet connection from laptop to desktop is a pain and Mum has no clue how to do it if I forget it connected to my laptop and leave for work; I would like to connect Ethernet port of ADSL modem to desktop permanently, and connect USB port of ADSL modem to laptop, so al [05:13] l we have to do is turn on either machine and ADSL modem and can use Net.

[05:14] amenado: however, Ubuntu doesn't seem to recognize any sort of network connection when I plug the USB into the laptop [05:14] Maimster, how do you mean? [05:15] Anja: my crappy builtin has three ports, microphone, headphones and line out [05:15] nickrud: do this he says, it'll be good for your computer he says. then: oh, check and make sure it didn't kill it he says [05:15] moidekar-> i suggest a inexpensive router with dhcp capabilities..solves lots of headaches [05:15] hotmonkeyluv: no, runit might have broken it, not the fix [05:15] oh [05:15] lol [05:15] moidekar: Normally you get one MAC per connection if you are not using a router. [05:15] hi [05:15] moidekar-> do you run ubuntu on your laptop? [05:15] hotmonkeyluv: I'm being alarmist I think though [05:15] amenado: hehehe... I suppose so... better to pay for that [05:15] Realy what I am looking for is something which can route my dsl connection to the rest of the network [05:15] wats up?? [05:15] So I've been having a huge ongoing problem with ALSA and an SB450, anyone want to help? [05:15] amenado: That is the correct answer! [05:15] as simple as possible [05:15] nickrud: thanks for the help, brb (rebootin') [05:15] Hi, I tried downloading steam, but it downloads the file as a .msi [05:15] icanhasadmin: no luck in kubuntu huh... whats up [05:15] amenado, yes, of course, that's why I'm asking here :-) [05:15] icanhasadmin: what problem [05:16] Maimster-> what is correct answer? [05:16] then I can try out diffrent things when I know it works [05:16] hi all [05:16] My HDA SB450 doesn't work. I've tried.. basically.. everything. But i'm open for suggestions [05:16] amenado: Your asnwer to moidekar's question. Get a router. [05:16] bukk: then you'll want to make sure ip_forwarding is on. as well as need an SNAT rule [05:16] amenado, I also run Ubuntu 6.10 Ultimate Game Edn on the desktop, but that isn't gonna have the USB connection [05:16] moidekar i dont know, you could have ubuntu on the desktop... [05:16] hey i need help with my ipod [05:16] !hdaintel | icanhasadmin (maybe you haven't seen this) [05:16] rjune, : can I privmsg? [05:16] icanhasadmin (maybe you haven't seen this): For fixing your Intel HDA sound this page has useful information https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto [05:16] sure [05:16] can they fix the old ones still [05:16] Maimster I agree, solves lots of headaches [05:17] Yep, I have. And down it all. 4 times now. [05:17] mage__: and thats what im asking [05:17] like imes a mini and the little spinny thing is like broken [05:17] amenado: Plus laptop's love the wireless features that comes with some routers. [05:17] i have a laptop [05:17] it has a pink roxy heart on it [05:17] :DD [05:17] * sdsheeks is confused [05:17] moidekar-> i suggest a inexpensive router with dhcp capabilities..solves lots of headaches..this should not be that expensive.. [05:17] Joe_S: lol [05:18] :DD [05:18] Makuseru: xoscope looks like a good shot [05:18] moidekar: or something like smoothwall.org , if you are dedicating a machine [05:18] and its even in apt! [05:18] i hate linuz [05:18] *linux [05:18] well i dont care for it [05:18] mage__: thanks, ill give that a look [05:18] amenado, Maimster : thanks anyway - I guess I need to go google some more :-( Manuf's website sux. If I still can't find anything, then I'll buy a 4-port switch I guess [05:18] Joe_S: why? [05:18] nickrud: how do i tell if it's broken? [05:18] Joe_S: nothing requires that you do [05:19] moidekar, what was your question? [05:19] Mp3: 18_-_A_Song_Of_Storm_And_Fire (4:02/9.27MB) (BS) [05:19] well i just dont [05:19] moidekar: Good luck [05:19] hotmonkeyluv: you're back, that means all is well :) [05:19] and i hate vista [05:19] nickrud: sweet [05:19] nickrud, no, I don't have a system tha twill be running all the time, so smoothwall probably is out [05:19] moidekar select a unit that has an integrated firewall and dhcp server if possible [05:19] Kolecionador: Please turn off those sort of scripts in this channel, thank you. [05:19] Kolecionador: im sure theres a rule against telling the room what song you're listening to [05:19] Joe_S: i think everyone hates vista [05:19] Sorry for this :P [05:19] caluchard, I have an ADSL modem/router which does connection to ISP running onboard PPPoE; has firewall etc; I have one laptop and one desktop; both are not on simultaneously; switching Ethernet connection from laptop to desktop is a pain and Mum has no clue how to do it if I forget it connected to my laptop and leave for work; I would like to connect Ethernet port of ADSL modem to desktop permanently, and connect USB port of ADSL modem to laptop, so [05:19] all we have to do is turn on either machine and ADSL modem and can use Net. [05:19] yup:DD === Stargazer is now known as Rezagrats [05:19] caluchard, I cannot get the USB connection working on my Ubuntu laptop [05:19] nickrud: perchance do you have kiba-dock or AWN installed? if so, which do you think is better [05:19] moidekar right, [05:19] * icanhasadmin crys [05:20] hotmonkeyluv: neither, I don't use compiz on my crappy ati express 200m [05:20] how can i change keyboard lay out by using keyboard?? [05:20] Hello all [05:20] i have a question about linux... [05:20] Joe_S: what for? [05:20] I am trying to duplicate one system to another, but for various reasons I cannot just do a straight up clone [05:20] how do u change the wallaper? [05:20] squirrelmail channel is not responding.. is anybody here knows this error: Error connecting to IMAP server: localhost. [05:20] hahahaha [05:20] does anyone know why when i try to launch a binary from xterm in fluxbox i get a sinhal handler 11 error but it will launce from nautilus ok? [05:20] Joe_S: under Ubuntu? [05:20] amenado, the ADSL modem has both a firewall and DHCP server; USB connection also gets a DHCP address (in Windows, which pisses me off 'cos it won't work in Ubuntu... grrr.. that's why I'm trying hard :-) [05:20] ci [05:20] nickrud: really? I can use it on my laptop (i945gm) [05:20] So, is there a way to list all the non-baseline packages on a machine? [05:21] icanhasadmin: have u given this a check? It always help me get sound problems worked out... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449 [05:21] bukk: I'm assuming you had a question [05:21] Joe_S: Right click change desktop background [05:21] Cpudan80: check this out http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu-linux-mint-livecd-with-remastersys [05:21] Cpudan80: I used to do it with partition Magic. [05:21] o haha i knew that [05:21] moidekar, when you un-plug and plug your modem, what do you see in the last lines of dmesg command? [05:21] mkquist: I'll look now, thank you [05:21] your a big help [05:21] :DD [05:21] Joe_S: well dont waste peoples time [05:21] What is the name of the graphical installation utility in ubuntu? ( I'm brand new to it. ) [05:21] im not!! [05:21] All I want to do is list the packages though? [05:21] i dont know how to do it [05:21] hotmonkeyluv: aiglx support in the latest ati sucks, xserver-xgl with it is slooowww, and fglrx in ubuntu doesn't support suspend [05:21] storm-zen: like synaptic? [05:21] moidekar are you saying in windows both the ethernet port and the usb port work at the same time? [05:22] That's probably it, mage__. [05:22] storm-zen: Add / Remove Applications & Synaptic [05:22] caluchard, using the same lappy with Ethernet right now, so won't plug in the USB now, but in general, it says it found a new high-speed USB device and is selecting config 1 out of 1 possible. [05:22] wats the difference between linux and windows? [05:22] http://www.ubuntugeek.com/clone-your-ubuntu-installation.html <-- who asked a really simple to google question about this? [05:22] nickrud: sucks, sorry :( [05:22] im only 14 [05:22] Joe_S: please stop [05:22] Joe_S: but you said you did [05:22] this is my dads thng [05:22] Joe_S: hmmm [05:22] br [05:22] *brb [05:22] amenado, no! :-) If I install the Windows USB conn driver, then Windows can use _either_ the Ethernet or the USB conn, but Ubuntu seems limited to Ethernet :-( [05:23] mage__, ok so i edited the fstab on my other computer again and after a breif transfer of it via diskmail[aka floppy disk] here it is for corrections if you care to help, as the edit didn't work>http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57156/ [05:23] sorry, how did you use that "anti flood" command [05:23] I have weirdness going on right now. I had to use alternative install to access my LVMs from a prior distro, then had to install X-Windows by hand using synaptic, I think... How does one access the "universe / multiverse" with synaptic? ... I have no gnome icons... just a desktop. [05:23] mage__, its the last two lines i added [05:24] does ubuntu have support for resizing NTFS? [05:24] back [05:24] the installer that is [05:24] moidekar-> what am asking are both ports on the modem, ethernet and usb port are active at same time? so you can plug a windows on one (ethernet and you get access to the net) and also plug on usb port (you also get access to the net ) at same time? [05:24] Cpudan80: well, do you think that will work for you? [05:24] NetEcho: yes [05:24] NetEcho: you can use gpartd for that. [05:24] sweet [05:24] !gutsysources | storm-zen [05:24] storm-zen: gutsysources is in System->Admin->Software Sources, enable (main) (universe) (restricted) and (multiverse) and disable the Cdrom on the Ubuntu Software tab. On the Updates tab, enable (gutsy-security) and (gutsy-updates). [05:24] cfedde is that on the installer? [05:24] moidekar, i think your modem not support the use of the two ports simultaneously [05:24] NetEcho: yes [05:25] mage__: That page doesnt work [05:25] * NetEcho is gonna give it a spin on the laptop and see how she runs [05:25] sdsheeks: What? [05:25] Cpudan80: the link i gave you. [05:25] Konqueror is driving me up the wall.... i must be blind but can't find a setting anywhere to disable the login remembering info [05:25] NetEcho: by default if you have NTFS with windows, the installer will resize it, and it suggests about 50:50 [05:25] Cpudan80: check this out http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu-linux-mint-livecd-with-remastersys [05:25] NetEcho: make a backup of anything important. [05:25] nickrud: Heard the part about not having any gnome incons or menus and installing x-windows by hand, did you? ;) [05:25] Cpudan80: I thought it was you looking for a way to mirror a system...could be wrong [05:25] NetEcho: insurance. not a prediction. [05:25] sdsheeks: No, all I need is a list of installed packages to echo to the other machine [05:25] bluefoxx: using rw under the options didn't suffice? [05:25] mkquist: yep, been through all that [05:25] amenado, caluchard: oh, I see... no, when I tried to plug USB into laptop, desktop was off; but good point, they might not both work together so after struggling and getting it working it might be of no use... yikes.. didn't think of that :-( [05:25] Cpudan80: ah okay :) [05:26] sdsheeks: I cannot do your thing because the archs are different [05:26] storm-zen by installing X by hand, what exactly do you mean? I assumed you used the ubuntu packages [05:26] one is 64 bit [05:26] evening folks [05:26] NetEcho: I've never had a resize fail yet, but it's still a good idea to have backups of anything you couldn't easily replace [05:26] lex, apparently not, before i had it set to "default" [05:26] Cpudan80: okay. I'm a paranoid backup freak so I'm always looking for ways to do what you are wanting to do. let me know what you find out. [05:26] nickrud: I found something called "ubuntu--desktop" ( I think ) in synaptic ( I think was what I used. ) [05:26] moidekar-> however if you do get an extra router box, most likely it will work [05:26] But there are no gnome menus or icons... [05:27] moidekar, don't worry, you always can buy a chep ethernet card to share the connection or a router, maybe with wireless [05:27] bluefoxx: I have one set as "/dev/sdc1 /home//music reiserfs rw 0 0" and it works as it should [05:27] storm-zen: ok, good. That's more than X, and that's the exactly right way to install the desktop. So, what do you mean, no gnome icons? [05:27] storm-zen: the ubuntu-desktop package installs gnome, openoffice and stuff [05:27] !clone > Cpudan80 [05:27] my routing scripts is here now: http://85.196.76.250 [05:27] and a upload [05:27] nickrud: I have a camera and a speaker on a little bitty panel... and that's it. [05:27] icanhasadmin: and it all seems to work? but no sound, like no errors? [05:27] amenado, yeah... as I said earlier, I think that is the way of least pain... :-) Thanks, amenado, cfedde, caluchard, all: signing off shortly. [05:27] zcat[1] the laptop is just basicaly a backup system for when I can't use this one [05:27] if somone could take a look [05:28] lex, theyr internal IDE harddrives not external usb volumes or scsi/sata volumes [05:28] amenado: Hey thanks [05:28] bukk your web server is up [05:28] amenado: Would it be bad to do this if the archs were different? [05:28] I know [05:28] bukk: chmo d 644 on that file [05:28] or it should be [05:28] zfs on ubuntu? [05:28] !resetpanels | storm-zen: run this, tell me what you see afterwards. It should reset all panels to the default: 0ne on top, one on bottom. [05:28] storm-zen: run this, tell me what you see afterwards. It should reset all panels to the default: 0ne on top, one on bottom.: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [05:28] I have the graphical version of synaptic... I might be able to get this to work.. [05:28] Cpudan80-> i think so, different arch would use different libraries [05:29] bluefoxx: so the only difference would be /hdd (which you have) instead of /sdd or the like [05:29] lex, also thats the exact copy of the fstab as i edited it, with the new options it didn't mount them but i can mount them manually, with the options set to "default" they did auto mount [05:29] zcat[1] I know its also a good idea to defrag and chkdsk before resizing [05:29] you can use ZFS with FUSE I believe [05:29] storm-zen: synaptic is itself, there's no other version. [05:29] there was a fuse ZFS port [05:29] bluefoxx: so open your mtab and see what it looks like in there [05:29] i can confirm that [05:30] nickrud: Ok. I used some tui to install X-WIndows. Guess I don't know what it was, then. [05:30] NetEcho: so they say; I've never bothered.. but it is really, really critical that you shut windows down cleanly. Linux won't even try to resize a dirty filesystem [05:30] So I have windows installed on my computer, would editing the partion with windows on it erase it? [05:30] bukk i thought you want to share the internet access between your pc's ? [05:30] mkquist: I have one strange error. I added "options snd-hda-intel model=auto" and it gave me a line 40 error when i ran modprobe snd_hda_intel [05:30] storm-zen: apt-get ? [05:30] bluefoxx: that is assuming you've mounted them to the right location manually first [05:30] zcat[1] good to know [05:30] Is there a known problem with tracker in Gutsy......mine is prone to epically fail [05:30] yes? [05:30] bukk: that's a cisco config. that's not a firewall script [05:30] nickrud: No... it had an interface.. menus... [05:30] hi, how do i upgrade from feisty to gutsy, I'm trying but am getting 302 errors while it tries to fetch and quits [05:30] do we have any sound gurus here? [05:30] Z_o-s-o: yes [05:30] i need help with graphics driver setup for an ATI Radeon HD 3850 [05:31] nickrud : hopefully resolved in hardy [05:31] lex, mtab? im still learning to admin the system, and this is the first time i actually managed to get a second computer going that doesnt carry any valuable data, one i can mess around on [05:31] have you done all the updates for reisty first? [05:31] chrisb1609: with what part? [05:31] *feisty [05:31] ka2: every part [05:31] bukk: You don't run HDLC over ethernet either. [05:31] J-a-k-e: me? i doubt it [05:31] nickrud: That command to reset the panels worked like a charm. THanks.

[05:42] join ubuntu [05:42] <[chr0n0s]> publish to blogs i mean* [05:42] ka2: got the newest version [05:42] now...anyone know of a way i can moniter the i/o of my eth1 port?>i want to know whats using it when i seemingly have no net apps running [05:42] except ubuntu none the less. [05:42] ... [05:42] Cpudan80: kk, thx :) [05:42] lex, everyone should be humble :3 [05:43] icanhasadmin: I dont have that exact card though --- mine was an audigy (real old) [05:43] in this case yes. don't assume it will always be the case. the only time MASQUERADE is better is if his IP is subject to change. [05:43] which may be true as well [05:43] ok i have an unknown partition in my partition editor and want to mount it also windows recognizes it and my music is still on there any ideas [05:43] bluefoxx: it used to be called ethereal or something like that but they changed the project name, google should tell you; i'm just watching anime [05:43] bluefoxx: Maybe ethereal [05:43] lex: That's right. [05:44] Please look at the script which is there now: http://85.196.76.250/rc2.firewall [05:44] rjune i never assumed anything on his setup [05:44] i just found alien arena - i love it. Any other cool, free online fps like that out there? [05:44] lex: Maimster wireshark now [05:44] nickrud: Thanks. [05:44] there we go, haven't had a need for it in years [05:44] Yossarian_: I hear some people like tremulous [05:44] aka back when it was ethereal haha [05:44] Same here. [05:45] bukk i think this line iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -s 10.23.0.0/24 -d 0.0.0.0/0 -j SNAT --to $OWNIP maybe the issue, what if that -s and -d is removed? [05:45] lex: They also had a commandline version called Tethereal I think. [05:45] bluefoxx: wireshark incase you may have missed it [05:45] lex, anime is awesome huh?my friends and i were devistated when windows ate my hdd and lost all the 30 gigs of it on my hard disk [05:45] line number? [05:45] 10.23.0.0/24 is your network right? if so that's good then. [05:45] -d 0.0.0.0/0 is just extraneous. it won't hurt or help anything [05:45] * nickrud checks his backup schedule again [05:45] 16? [05:46] bluefoxx: at least it was only 30; if mine crapped i'd lose ~130gb [05:46] bukk look it up, your paste did not have line numbers [05:46] 10 [05:46] but a loss is tragic [05:46] lex: What are you using for a backup program? [05:46] gah, yea 16 [05:46] 10 works out the ip [05:46] no [05:46] lex, fortunatly i managed to get a sata drive up long enough to save about 20 gigs of video and 10 of music, i just recovered 18 gigs of the video and 6 of the music[bloody cable is faulty, made the drive full of disk errors] [05:46] Maimster: raid 1+0 and a nas [05:47] My network is realy 10.0.23.X [05:47] ok, so fix that [05:47] bluefoxx: nice [05:47] methinks i have overclocked to much for my sata controller... [05:47] But does it matter if change it? [05:47] lex: I have been using bu, in my cron.daily. Seems to work pretty good. [05:47] iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -s 10.0.23.0/24 -d 0.0.0.0/0 -j SNAT --to $OWNIP [05:47] what is the problem? I've tried to install stardict, but there is a error: "Dependency is not satisfiable: libart-2.0-2 . how can I solve this problem? [05:47] Maimster: cool [05:48] i have a partition that i can use in windows but when i look at it in gparted it says unknown partition type..how can i mount it in linux [05:48] anybody knows the best video driver for compaq EVO1020v [05:48] yes, that line says change the source address of all traffic going out eth0 with a source address of 10.0.23.0/24(or initially 10.23.0.0/24) [05:48] so yes, that's relevant. [05:48] hi. I have ubuntu 7.10 and for some reason whenever i put logout or switch user, and leave the computer at the login screen for a few minutes the screen goes blank, well it turns a yellowish orange shade, and i can move the mouse but see nothing.. any idea on how to fix this or if there is an update to fix this ? Thanks [05:48] i've been struggle to get this working for days [05:49] and its better to be as specific as reasonably possible when doing IPtables. that way you are less likely to run into unforseen side-effects [05:49] meaning desktop effects [05:49] !gutsysources | novato_br (try this, then repeat the install) [05:49] novato_br (try this, then repeat the install): gutsysources is in System->Admin->Software Sources, enable (main) (universe) (restricted) and (multiverse) and disable the Cdrom on the Ubuntu Software tab. On the Updates tab, enable (gutsy-security) and (gutsy-updates). [05:49] bukk: also, without QoS rules, your marking iptables rules won't do you any good. I'm guessing you knew that already [05:49] and google earth [05:49] fixed [05:50] bruce__: is it ntfs or fat? [05:50] ntfs [05:50] rerun your firewall script and see if you can get out. [05:50] I havent wrote the script, a geek friend of mine which shall write everything as hard as possible :P [05:50] zulerdongle: Well the monitor work as long as it does not go into sleep mode? [05:51] rjune but the QoS cannot be seen from iptables noh? it would be from his route tables? [05:51] bukk: well, if you were a customer, you would have a phone number to call any time of day to have somebody write it for you. [05:51] i thought ubuntu would mount those parts automatically, but if need be install ntfs-3g [05:51] nickrud, i'm not gutsy user [05:51] Maimster: sorry but im not sure i understand your question [05:51] i'm feisty fawn user [05:51] novato_br: ah. What version [05:51] mkquist: ntfs [05:51] 7.04 [05:51] amenado: right, tc does QoS, iptables does firewall. but they work together. [05:51] novato_br: the setup is similar enough, main is the one you seem to not have enabled [05:51] okay [05:52] zulerdongle: It sounded like you were saying that when your monitor goes into sleep mode it doesn't come out correctly. Displaying a yellowish color. [05:52] bruce__: i thought ubuntu would detect those parts automatically but if need be install ntfs-3g in ubuntu [05:52] i'm going to try [05:52] i get no input, go to power save with the restricted drivers. i dont think the hardware is a problem since the card works perfectly with windows xp. any ideas on what the problem could possibly be [05:52] bukk: can you see the world now? [05:52] Maimster: yeah, i guess thats it, i can see the mouse icon and move it but i cant see the login screen, just a yellowish whitish color [05:53] zulerdongle Don't quote me, but it sounds like a power management problem. [05:53] Enter text here...hello [05:53] I get to the router but not longer [05:53] not nameservers either [05:53] mkquist: ntfs 3-g is already installed [05:53] hello bukk [05:54] Maimster: you mean a problem with my monitor or something i can change in my power management options?

I think your monitor is fine.

[05:58] zulerdongle: Gnome or Kdesktop? [05:58] i think i have a small heat problem...XD [05:59] bukk and where are you testing it from? from which box? [05:59] small? [05:59] bukk: that looks fine. [05:59] vista box, fedora box and slackware [05:59] Maimster: i really wouldnt know and do not know how to check [05:59] your router can see the world and your LAN, right? [05:59] can you recommend webmin? [05:59] No, not the whole lan [05:59] is 64 deg C a healthy temp for a cpu overclocked by about 60% thats on 24/7? [05:59] zulerdongle: Check to see if you have a kcontrol. [06:00] <-- Knew he should have installed a GUI. [06:00] bukk and i assume your vista, feodar and slackware is on the secure side of this firewall? [06:00] bluefoxx: the question is, is 64C a healthy temp. the overclocking part is not relevant. [06:00] bluefoxx, : just keep it below 75 [06:00] bluefoxx: it's a bit warm.. [06:00] they are all connected to the same switch [06:00] Maimster: how to enable desktop effects?It says "composite not enabled " when I click on custom, in appearance->effects [06:01] the DSL line is in one of the NIC's on the server [06:01] same as one line to the switch [06:01] amenado: Do you know where to configure the power management settings under Gnome? Probably the control panel. [06:01] Maimster: well apparently i dont have kcontrol installed because when i type it in the terminal it says so but says i can install it by typing sudo apt-get install kcontrol [06:01] from the server that is [06:01] bukk between dsl and your server nic card, no switches? [06:01] shan: I don't use the desktops.. sorry. [06:01] Bukk: what is your problem? [06:01] bluefoxx: most cpus are rated 70C max - so 64's not too good [06:01] my iptables [06:01] zulerdongle: Then your using the default Gnome install. [06:02] hi, is there some sort of metapackage to install gcc and things i need to compile like debian has? [06:02] I don't have some problem rhineheart_m [06:02] Dalnet_ [06:02] zulerdongle: Can you find the Gnome control panels? [06:02] amenado, : dont need that, I have net on the server [06:02] chuck: build-essential [06:02] Maimster i dont know, i have not played with power management, i have them de-activated, the apm are turned off on my bios [06:02] build-essential chuck [06:02] thanks [06:02] Can anyone help me with an Xorg problem? I am having a video problem where all I see is brightly colored stripes when X starts. The console is displayed fine. I had to use the alternate cd to install because I had this problem on the livecd. After installing nvidia drivers, I see the nvidia logo, and then the same bright colors. I'm using a geforce 4 mx440 with svideo out to my tv. [06:02] well considering its an 3 yr old socket 478 celeron d that naitivly runs at 2.93 ghz and is overclocked to about 3.7 ghz...and it ran for about a good hour w/o the heatsink on it properly in the origional comp it came from back in 12/06 [06:02] amenado: I think zulerdongle should do the same. [06:02] Maimster: i can try to or look it up [06:02] i think its rather amazing i have'nt burnt it out yet XD [06:02] zulerdongle: Cool I will wait. [06:02] amenado: he's using vmware to virtualize the router. [06:03] bukk i want to verify with you, between your dsl and your server nic, its not going through the switch? [06:03] -j SNAT [06:03] ? [06:03] what about SNAT [06:03] was just wondering if it was a typo [06:04] amenado, : No, but it goes a cable from the servers second NIC [06:04] SNAT == Source NAT aka, make the LAN look like it comes from the world IP [06:04] to the switch [06:04] ok [06:04] rjune one heck of a complex setup, each interface vmware provides external is natted, so each guest has a separate ip address and usually in different subnet [06:04] but does I still need to connect it to the switch [06:05] amenado: not my network. [06:05] tried with VMware, but I just went back to this [06:05] made more sence [06:05] How do I create a NTFS file system on my dual boot hard drive ? [06:05] bukk: so that's on the raw hardware? [06:06] ? [06:06] bukk, i dont have a clear picture of what you got, can you elaborate and make it clearer please, a drawing would be nice too [06:06] Question: Is there a disk editor for Linux that can edit NTFS? I cant't seem to find any... I want to modify WinXP boot sector so it runs from an extended partition... [06:06] Ok [06:06] Maimster: ok i was able to access the control center [06:06] you aren't running your router on a vm, you're running it on the actual hardware. [06:06] hey guys, could you help me out a bit, [06:06] rjune i thought so ...having switches in there didnt seem to make sense if he was using vmware [06:06] zulerdongle: Did you find anything there dealing with power management? [06:06] ADSL > Eth1 ------- ETH0 > SWITCH, PC 1 2 3 connected to switch [06:07] MIRC [06:07] i installed ubuntu using Wubi on my Acer Extensa 5420 laptop [06:07] and the wired net nor the wifi will work === Visitor is now known as stranded [06:07] i have to manually config the wifi, but can't understand why the wired net won't work :S === stranded is now known as visitor [06:08] bukk sorry, adsl eth1 port? or is that your servers eth1 ? [06:08] hey do you guys help with installing skins? [06:08] Maimster: yeah, i actually had already opened a power management menu under preferences power management and had set it to never display to sleep ( i did this when you first mentioned power management) [06:08] Connection from ADSL modem to ETH1, then from ETH0 to the switch [06:08] zulerdongle: Now we just have to wait to see if it will happen again. [06:08] Hey, so i have 2 primary partitions and an extended partition already, how do I go about installing gusty onto a 10 GB space between two primary partitions? [06:08] which have the other clients [06:09] bukk you are not answering me straight, eth1 is eth1 of your server? or is that eth1 of your adsl modem? [06:09] Maimster: ok , its just that i was under the impression i had to mess with other settings (s1, s2, s3?) well thanks for your help then . ; ) [06:10] eth1 is connected with a cable to the modem [06:10] zulerdongle: I have found Linux to be funny when dealing with APCI, (automatic power control interface). [06:10] zulerdongle: I just hopes that cures it. [06:10] so, i tried wireshark but it tells me "dumpcap: There are no interfaces on which a capture can be done" what do i do? === User894 is now known as Scorpio33M [06:10] eth 1 inet addr:85.196.76.250 Mask:255.255.255.0 [06:11] bukk okay, and eth0 ip address is? [06:11] Local [06:11] I really have to install a GUI before trying to help others with it. Jeez. [06:11] 10.0.23.1 [06:11] reboot [06:11] oops [06:11] should be the default gw for the other client [06:11] s [06:11] so eth1 is WAN? [06:11] ugh [06:11] what's the advantage of having a swap partition? [06:11] I can switch [06:11] bukk then it doesnt make sense to me to have that -s 10.0.23.0 on that MASQUERADE line [06:11] just installed ubuntu .But no sound [06:12] !sap | taggartbg2 [06:12] Sorry, I don't know anything about sap - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [06:12] !swap | taggartbg2 [06:12] taggartbg2: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [06:12] Synaptic writes: "Sysfs is a virtual file system in the Linux kernel that provides a tree of system devices." What does 'virtual' mean here? [06:12] bukk: I don't care from a technical standpoint [06:13] but you've got your script written as if eth1 is LAN and eth0 is WAN [06:13] I had a Ubuntu/XP dualboot system but then I converted C: to an extended partition, now I get an error 12 trying to boot XP in GRUB. I heard this can be fixed by modifying the windows boot sector, however I cant find a disk editor... === Visitor is now known as Visitor13 [06:13] bukk you're making me pull my hair of what is left of it.. be consistent and clear will yah [06:14] I dont have any line with masqurade now [06:14] Visitor13: I think your looking for the boot.ini file. [06:14] amenado, : I have made a upload dir there, if you wanna change something [06:14] Maimster: Editing that would help?

[06:15] Hi all, does anyone know if it's possible to do bass redirection through ubuntu? [06:15] rjune, i knew, i have done it far far too long..thats why the thin hairline..haha [06:15] bukk: ok, so eth1 is really your WAN [06:15] !virus [06:15] A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [06:15] rjune, : you want a account? [06:15] Visitor13: You might be able to just edit the grub loader. [06:15] hey [06:15] bukk: nope. [06:15] rjune, : then you can see it all yourself [06:15] eth1 = WAN [06:15] eth0 = LAN [06:16] bukk: I'll help you learn for free. you want me to login, I gotta charge. [06:16] not always bukk [06:16] ok, then change eth0 to eth1 in your script. [06:16] oops [06:16] i new with kubuntu [06:16] Z_o-s-o: please don't help. he's telling us how his network is. [06:16] can you help me? [06:16] :( sorry [06:16] buk:it can be vice versa [06:16] phac3: see above. [06:17] If i'm installing ubuntu, do I need 1)the main partition 2) the swap partition and 3) anything else, I think i read something about a boot partition? [06:17] hi. in gnome, i have CCSM installed, and i installed the 3D windows plugin. but whenever i change the settings in the options, they dont actually change. so what's up? [06:17] bukk: -o eth0 traps traffic going out eth0. if that's not where you have your internet connection. then it'll NAT the wrong traffic. [06:18] came on men..... can you help me? [06:18] bukk: iptables --help is actually quite useful in explaining all the basic options [06:18] taggartbg2: That's sounds right. The default setup is 3 partitions. [06:18] taggartbg2: The /boot partition will reside on the / partition. [06:18] not realy, I have used many hours reading before asking for help [06:19] rjune i wish you were the support guy i have to work with all the time at the distant end..you know your stuff equally as me.. :P [06:19] bukk: also, if you use long options (--source instead of -s, etc.) it helps explain what's going. [06:19] all changed [06:19] amenado: http://www.imagestream.com [06:19] do usb drives/mp3 players' partitions have an UUID or some way to recognize them uniquely? [06:19] * rjune builds routers.

[06:20] taggartb: not as a partition [06:20] directory is enough [06:20] rjune cool..if you need one to support you here in sf bayarea, i can work with you.. [06:20] bukk: how would i go about adding that directory? [06:20] no [06:20] sudo mkdir /boot [06:20] ? [06:20] bukk: /boot should be created at install. [06:20] and add it to /etc/fstab [06:21] but yeah, that command is correct. [06:21] Hi, I have a question about the bootloader in ubuntu, can I choose which OS is first on the list so that I dont have to wait to get past bios to scroll down within 10 secconds or be forced to reboot? thanks [06:21] yah, but like slackware dosnt [06:21] but you dont' need to add it to fstab. that's only for devices that get mounted. [06:21] SCXtyler-> default is the one that selects amongts the labels [06:21] true [06:21] the problem is that i'm chock full of primary partitions and only have room for one, i read up on making a swap directory and thats all good, i'm just worried about how to make that boot directory and have it functional if i'm using a manual partition [06:22] but how can i change that? [06:22] hi. in gnome, i have CCSM installed, and i installed the 3D windows plugin. but whenever i change the settings in the options, they dont actually change. so what's up? [06:22] or can i change it? [06:22] rjune, : and the netmask can be 255.255.255.0 ? [06:22] bukk: netmask of what? [06:23] taggartbg2: You could just let Ubuntu make your filesystem for you. That is if your installing new. [06:23] SCXtyler-> yes you can change it to point to label number 5 if you wish, assuming you have label 5 [06:23] does anyone know of a GUI PAM configuration tool? [06:23] amenado: we have a reseller in CA, don't know if he's hiring or not.

[06:24] nope [06:24] thanks amenado [06:24] taggartbg2: Sounds like a dell laptop. [06:24] same [06:24] rjune I'll send you an email through your web site.. [06:24] ok, let me see the update. [06:24] taggartbg2: swap is overrated anyways [06:24] all eth0 is changed to eth1 [06:24] does anyone know a good site where i can download IT Ebooks [06:25] wikibooks has some useful content [06:25] phac3: oreilly have lots available [06:25] phac3-> mininova [06:25] as does wikipedia [06:25] is it safe to install KDE programs? [06:25] taggartbg2: but if you really want swap, make an extended partition, and then you can make a couple more partitions [06:25] !piracy [06:25] piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels.

[06:26] thanks [06:26] bukk: I think that !piracy was aimed your way :) [06:26] mage__: I think he did this and lost his XP boot. [06:26] oh [06:26] * rjune waits for the /kick [06:26] zcat[1], : 4 persons mentioned piracy sites before me :P [06:26] bukk: update the script on your webserver? [06:26] mage__: I thought the grub loader could be edited to find his XP partition though. [06:26] aye [06:26] jim: boot into windows? ;) [06:27] Maimster: yea [06:27] bukk: hmmm.. too lazy to scroll back, I guess I believe you [06:27] :) [06:27] mage, I can boot in to win and linux now, I have extra space on the drive I want to share with both os [06:27] systool lists 'acpi' as a supported sysfs bus. Can you explain why systool considers ACPI a bus? [06:27] !apt-spy [06:27] Sorry, I don't know anything about apt-spy - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [06:27] mage__: The extended partition should start at something like 5 or /dev/hda5 I think. [06:27] Maimster: I dont have a suitable grub.conf to crib off of, but basically you can boot from the grub menu, dont even need to edit anything [06:28] mage__: You mean by hitting the tab key at the menu?

[06:29] hi, just recently reintalled ubuntu... however it didn't properly detect my windows installation. i have windows and ubuntu on the same (and only) sata hard drive. xp professional is installed on sda5. in grub, i set it to (hd0,4), yet it still isn't working. any suggestions? [06:29] zcat[1]: You forgot the | [06:29] zcat[1]: wrong syntax, missing | [06:29] ; ? [06:29] ahhh, 'k [06:29] mage__: Yeah but he is not using it. He is letting grub do the boot loading. He should try to find out the partition through dmesg. [06:29] was too slow anyhow. [06:29] bukk: you really only need the SNAT line to browse the web [06:30] ubuntu won't send email thru dovecot.. I just don't know why.. any idea? [06:30] everything gets in the way. [06:30] so strip it out, reload, then do iptables -n -t nat -L [06:30] mage_ Yes I found that, I did use cfdisk to make the part but thats it. Ubuntu can now write to NTFS correct ? [06:30] but does it exit there now? [06:31] bukk: and save the output into a file , it'll tell amenado and I what the script does. [06:31] bukk: it should. that's what it's told to do. [06:31] is it safe to install KDE programs? [06:32] bukk yes that will exit out of your script..upon inserting that exit() [06:32] "bukk: iptables -t nat -n -L > /var/www/iptables.txt 2>&1"will save you some time. [06:32] bukk: "iptables -t nat -n -L > /var/www/iptables.txt 2>&1"will save you some time. [06:32] that'll write the output directly to iptables.txt in the root of your webdir [06:33] rjune: If I ever have Iptables issues I know where to go. === dibz is now known as BigDaddy1 === BigDaddy1 is now known as mohadib [06:33] LOL [06:34] rjune: You bring back pre-linksys router days.

[06:36] no [06:36] or [06:36] depnds [06:36] bukk: what is your ip address? [06:36] amenado: I bow to anyone that speaks ISC cisco. I have a 871W and I barely use its full power. [06:36] if not how can i customize a screen resolutiong [06:36] of your server. [06:36] I sat 12 hours every day for a week [06:36] 10.0.23.1 [06:36] the webserver.

My main problem is Gizmo seem to be i386 and I have a 64 version of Ubuntu . Is there anything I could do to install gizmo i386 ? [06:37] Maimster that was my first hands on..

They are doing ab-so-lute-ly nothing. [06:39] amenado: That would have brought you a good penny on the market. [06:39] bukk: iptables -t nat -n -L will print it to your screen [06:39] Maimster that predates even that [06:39] amenado: I know. [06:39] ok, sec [06:40] Ubuntu is showing my dual-core as 1 processor at 800Mhz, is it still utilizing both cores though? [06:40] amenado: I got them free when I upgraded clients systems.

I tried searching for it with the gui (places->find files), seems like it doesnt exist. (it does find other files). [06:43] Visitor13: Hold checking... [06:44] Visitor13: I don't think they call it that anymore. I see the /boot/grub folder.. checking the files there. [06:45] amenado: Has grub.conf changed its name? [06:45] Maimster from where? grub.conf is sometimes linked to menu.lst [06:45] its one [06:45] good. [06:46] Visitor13-> look in /boot/grub/ [06:46] should I take away the exit 0 ? [06:46] do a traceroute 205.159.243.5 [06:46] no [06:46] I got menu.lst... [06:46] amenado: My Internet connection is so slow. Jesus 9kbps [06:46] amenado: heheh.. dam U comcast. [06:46] Visitor13-> thats okay then, [06:46] leave the exit statement there [06:47] just to let everyone know, Installing ubuntu on one partition was successful. The /boot partition was unneccisary, and I set up a swap file rather than a swap partition, all is well, thanks :) [06:47] taggartbg2: Good man!! [06:47] where do I find out my current processor clock speed? [06:47] demonspork: cat /proc/cpuinfo [06:47] do a traceroute 205.159.243.5 from one of your systems on the far side of the router. mtr -n 205.159.243.5 works better, but isn't always installed [06:47] eh, unknown host [06:47] The xp entry says root (hd0,4) which is correct... the extended aprtition with xp is sda5 [06:48] taggartbg2: Once you get more familiar with ubuntu you can do what you want with the file system. In the begging though keep it simple. [06:48] thx Pici [06:48] after that its savedefault, makeactive, chainloader +1 [06:48] Visitor13: Sounds right.

[06:50] I suspect theres some problem with the volume boot record but I cant confirm it [06:50] both work [06:50] bukk can you try to resolve alibaba.com from one your clients [06:50] can I remove the exit 0 [06:50] how can i get this screen resolution? 1167x664?

It's sort of a one time pad technique, but not really. It's implemented as a PAM module: http://code.google.com/p/ppp-pam/ [06:50] anyone? [06:51] Visitor13: I think that the XP partition when just moved to another partition number. Grub needs to know where to look. [06:51] 128.242.127.1 [06:51] bukk okay cool.. [06:51] Anyway, that code should load xp from an extended partition? [06:51] you are good to go [06:51] well it says root (hd0,4) savedefault makeactive chainloader +1 [06:52] Visitor13 We have to find someone here that knows how to edit the grub loader. It should be looking at /dev/sda5 [06:52] How do you start up/restart PHP on 7.10 after PHP5 is installed?

[06:54] preston: yup, I'm working on a 15" [06:54] rjune, : If you can comprehend this, we have two DSL connections, one SDSL 2Mb, and one ADSL 20Mb [06:54] hd0,5 that means its on partition 4 of that same hard [06:54] bukk: I can. [06:54] how can I use both at the same time depending on port [06:54] Visitor13: I think that means the root partition is /dev/hd0 partition 4. Not sure though. [06:54] preston, hd0,5 is the 6th partition on the hard drive [06:55] as in web traffic to one, voip traffic to another [06:55] ? [06:55] preston, hd0,0 is the first [06:55] if I go web I get pointed to sdsl, etc [06:55] aye [06:55] hmm thats backwards to me on gentoo lmao [06:55] I have searched for weeks for a guide or a forum for that but its to hard to explain to search for [06:55] demonspork: Do you know how to edit the boot loader grub? Looking for a XP partition. [06:55] bukk 20Mb ?

[07:18] few ISP's give you that [07:18] jimcooncat, nope, its a nautilus/gvfs bug [07:18] it looks like the bug is with gui apps [07:18] You can max have the same IP in 7200 seconds, if you reboot [07:18] Bukk - I'm behind a router [07:18] and I do have a static IP [07:19] to that router [07:19] which should right to port 80 of this box [07:19] bardyr: if you just want file access, use sshfs [07:19] I've been asking since then..but nobody answers...is there anybody of you here uses ISPCONFIG...a web based configuration? [07:19] hmm [07:19] # The primary network interface [07:19] auth eth0 [07:19] iface eth0 inet static [07:19] address 192.168.1.20 [07:19] netmask 255.255.255.0 [07:19] network 192.168.1.0 [07:19] jarrettgreen: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:19] Ouch. [07:19] Im not the man to ask here, I would just start with dhclient [07:20] what does dhclient do exactly? [07:20] I'm hacking your base. [07:20] disregard that, idiot people touching my computer. [07:20] Maimster: Is he still eating or did he leave? (what was the name again?) [07:20] jarrettgreen: just remove the network...and replace gateway bardyr: other than that you need to NAt it somehow, perhaps with another ip address as I suggested [07:20] jimcooncat, hmm i could use sshfs, thanks :) [07:20] Visitor13: I don't really know what he is doing. His name is demonspork. [07:21] bukk? [07:21] how do I black out my screen? [07:22] I'm going to sleep, and I want to leave my comp dling stuff overnight [07:22] http://wiresmash.com/how-to/how-to-increase-your-internet-connection-speed/ [07:22] jarrettgreen: are you still having problem configuring your box to make it static? [07:22] devrethman, my default closing the screen should cause it to blank [07:22] bardyr: just make sure there's nothing left in the cache before the boss snoops around lol [07:22] devrethman, maybe pressing the on/off button of the screen. [07:22] Im not the man to ask here, I would just start with dhclient [07:22] demonspork: Maimster said you could help me getting grub to boot xp from an extended partition? [07:22] laptop desu [07:23] devrethman, nevertheless, check this: http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2007/12/13/create-a-virtual-monitor-power-button/ [07:23] dhclient makes your machine ask the whole LAN for a IP [07:23] and closing it makes it overheat... [07:23] hey [07:23] I'll go stick a book on the little closed switch [07:23] bukk - got that, but what does dhclient do? [07:23] -man dhclient [07:23] yeah... I'm tired now. Howtos take time [07:23] Ask 255.255.255.255 for a IP [07:23] devrethman, it's a very short how-to [07:24] that's what it does, or that's what your now telling me to do? [07:24] so much for him [07:24] shorter than sticking a PSP on a button? [07:24] * devrethman can't find any books [07:24] night all [07:24] E-bøker Over 1100 General Computer Ebooks === LiraNuna_ is now known as LiraNuna [07:24] devrethman, of course not [07:25] Visitor13: Try asking again. I mean the channel users. [07:25] Visitor13, do you still need help [07:25] Anybody know why the static IP in my interfaces file isn't taking? Could a router efuse something like that? [07:25] sorry, I was playing and crashed out of X [07:25] lol; [07:25] refuse [07:25] demonspork: Yep. [07:25] lol [07:25] Visitor13, what exactly is your problem? [07:26] has anyone in here run ubuntu inside of virtual box? [07:26] demonspork: I have XP set up under grub, but when i try to boot into it I get an error 12. XP is on an extended partition (/dev/sda5) [07:27] the ubuntu 8 install didn't request a root pass, what is it and/or how do i set/change it [07:27] ? [07:27] Visitor13, did you set up Grub to boot XP yourself? or was it done during the Ubuntu install? [07:28] robbins61: there is no root pass in Ubuntu [07:28] demonspork: I've just installed ubuntu (to the primary dev/sda3) after using Partitionmagic to convert C: from primary to extended and move it to the back of the drive [07:28] demon: It was automatically [07:28] how the hell do i get root in terminal then? [07:28] Can anyone help with a static IP issue? [07:28] robbins61: sudo [07:28] what?! [07:28] hello [07:28] anyone here know how to read from /proc/$pid/mem ? [07:28] demon: The menu.lst says root (hd0,4) savedefault makeactive chainloader +1 [07:29] jarrettgreen: maybe [07:29] !sudo [07:29] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. [07:29] Visitor13, were you able to boot into XP after moving the partition? [07:30] Visitor13, are you able to access the XP partition from Ubuntu? [07:30] jarrettgreen: I need your question again please [07:30] What are some good sip programs ? LIke gizmo [07:30] demonspork: No, but I didn't have windows bootmanager in the MBR at the time; I already had GRUB there from an old install of linux, some live cd (This installation got deleted in the repartitioning) [07:31] demonspork: I did try to boot from the XP cd and use fixmbr to put the windows bootmanager back into the MBR, that doesnt work [07:31] jimcooncat - I have a static IP setup in my interfaces file. but it won't take. no connection, no ability to ssh in, etc. bukk just had me run dhclient and all is fine. Ecxepct that I'm now bound to .6 rather than .20 that I specified [07:31] Visitor13, so can you access the windows partition from Ubuntu? [07:31] I just getting this small problem, I start firefox from my terminal and it says "Segmentation fault (core dumped)" [07:31] demonspork: yes [07:31] hi there can someone help me about this : pop3d: authentication error: Input/output error [07:32] anybody? [07:32] in another note, is my ubuntu dapper drake a "glibc-based system" [07:32] my friend has installed ubuntu by Wubi, but now he has a problem. The ubuntu hasn't start with graphical interface. what is going on ? [07:32] ? [07:32] jarrettgreen: what's handing you the dhcp? if it's not a cheapo router you could just have it assign your MAC to the address you want [07:33] It's not cheapo.. I dunno $130.. I don't know what cheapo would be === skynet is now known as Neix [07:33] but I did think about it [07:33] hello [07:33] anyone ? [07:33] dhcp reservation [07:33] jarrettgreen: it's cheapo if it doesn't let you do it :-) [07:33] i had some problem with wifi [07:33] lol [07:33] true [07:33] But I worked this morning [07:34] hii all [07:34] Visitor13, what are the other 2 partitions, that come before Ubuntu? [07:34] the wifi dont connect always i restart the comp, only when i desactivate it and reconect manualy in network manager [07:35] jimmcooncat - dumb irc question, but how are you making your responses to me a different color? [07:35] how i can solve this? [07:35] demonspork: Could he change the Windows root to (hd0,4)? [07:35] jarrettgreen: other than that you'd have to dig hard to troubleshoot your file. You might want to reboot (argh!) if you haven't since your last change. [07:35] demonspork: sda1 is swap(primary), sda2 is Extended, sda3 is ubuntu (primary), sda4 is another linux ext4 primary (empty now) sda5 is the logical drive with WinXP and sda6 is a logical drive with data [07:35] jarrettgreen: That's just your IRC client's highlighting. It probably highlights whatever messages have your nick in them. [07:35] The order on the disk is [07:35] jarrettgreen, your client highlights messages that include your nickname [07:36] gotcha [07:36] Swap - Ubuntu - Blank Ext - Extended (first xp drive then data drive) [07:36] Visitor13, sda2 is what? [07:37] hi [07:37] The extended partition itself (i.e. not the logical drives therein) lists as sda2 [07:37] who had installed ubuntu from wubi ? [07:37] jarrettgreen: maybe I'm majick [07:37] systool lists 'acpi' as a supported sysfs bus. Can you explain why systool considers ACPI a bus? [07:37] Visitor13, never mind, I understand now, the extended partition is sda2, with sda5 and sda6 residing physically within it? [07:37] jimcooncat here's my interfaces file http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57166/ [07:37] yes [07:37] sda5 and sda6 are logical drives in sda2 [07:38] why my wifi dont connect well to start ? Im going to use that computer in vnc [07:38] and the root is hd0,0 [07:38] and the root is hd0,4 [07:38] garr [07:38] it should be hd0,1? [07:38] the root is hd0,4 [07:38] yes [07:39] setup set it up that way [07:39] Hiya... I messed up my Ubuntu icon folder trying to customize the icons for applications (/usr/share/icons/human) so I uninstalled it through synaptic. Now when I reinstall it the icons aren't fixed/restored to default. So the next time I completely uninstalled, the 'human theme' too, then did 'sudo rm -R /usr/share/icons/human', then rebooted, then resinstalled. I don't know if it fixed it, because it's not a theme option. I don't see human under th [07:39] I have been trying to find fault with your setup, and I can't see anything that would be wrong with it :( [07:39] if I haven't the X, how can I get install it ? [07:39] !X [07:39] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto [07:39] !install X [07:39] Sorry, I don't know anything about install x - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [07:39] Any idea why, or if there is an actually tar.gz file I could download and install? [07:40] demonspork: In general its no problem to boot xp from logical drives with grub? [07:40] none at all [07:41] jarrettgreen: mine works without the "network" and "broadcast" lines -- I suspect the "network" [07:42] demonspork: I suspect the boot record (i.e. not the partition table but the 1st sector of the actual logical volume) may have the wrong "Hidden Sectors" value because I moved it with partitionmagic 8. I read this webpage... [07:42] Visitor13, Error 12 Cannot mount selected partition is there error you get ? [07:42] how to config static ip? ifconfig eth0 x.y.z.q, is what i did. when rebooted, ip is lost [07:42] jimcooncat - ok I took it out, and did a network restart [07:42] ArthurArchnix, aptitude reinstall the-human-theme-package --purge [07:42] http://www.goodells.net/multiboot/ptedit.htm [07:43] bardyr: I'll give it a shot, probably have to restart 'x'. [07:43] demonspork: I get error 12 but the text isnt that, it's... [07:43] hi,I want to use windows in linux but I don't know where sholud I type serial key [07:43] can anyone help me? [07:43] demonspork: error 12 Invalid Device Request [07:44] ahh [07:44] so I think you are more on top of the problem than I am. I don't know where to begin to fix your problem :( [07:44] laurica: Just ask our question. [07:44] demonspork: I do, the problem is I need a disk editor [07:45] demonspork: or a tool to edit boot sectors [07:45] demonspork: like in hex [07:45] hmm [07:45] demonspork: in NTFS [07:45] Partition magic? [07:45] I cant start windows in qemu, because its not registrated [07:45] demonspork: I cant get into windows and I dont have a cd here [07:45] geez bardyr ... it worked a treat and I didn't even have to reinstall. I've used the purge command, but only as part of the removal process, never install. What did that do? [07:45] i have a serial key but i dont know where to tipe [07:45] in termianl? [07:45] excuse me, didn't have to restart 'x'. [07:46] ArthurArchnix, normally apt does not remove config files, --purge deletes them and everything else that left behind [07:46] laurica: Hopefully someone here has experience with your problem just be patient. [07:46] demonspork: Reinstalling windows would work too [07:46] bardyr: Well, I thank you again. [07:47] ok [07:47] thanx [07:47] laurica: No problem. [07:47] Visitor13, yeah, then you would have to boot off the live disk again and reinstall grub [07:47] What is a good tool to edit boot sectors in Ubuntu? [07:47] demonspork: So he lost his boot block to windows somehow? [07:47] I dont know one [07:47] I dont think one exists [07:47] ! [07:48] I know one does [07:48] that is why I asked a general question [07:48] to the channel [07:48] and in #linux [07:49] I've only found LDE in google, thats a disk editor but its not for NTFS [07:50] Visitor13: Couldn't your re-install windows into the current partition without removing the grub boot loader? [07:50] jimcooncat - did not work, reverted back to using dhclient [07:50] Visitor13, do you know pm partition manager [07:50] static ip is just NOT sticking [07:50] Visitor13: Probably not. [07:51] Maimster, the windows installer doesn't let you skip the overwrite of the MBR, but installing grub again is pretty simple if you have a livecd [07:51] I dont think so [07:52] err i mean i dont know that program [07:52] demonspork: Yeah I figure that one. [07:52] lemme look it up [07:52] all - I'm wanting to install PDFLib for dynamic pdfs in pho, but the requirement says the linux server needs to be a "glibc-based system" - is this cool with ubuntu? [07:53] ya [07:53] how do i change the background in fluxbox [07:54] jarrettgreen: most distros use glibc [07:54] Visitor13, the Windows install disk is probably your best bet to fix the problem === demonspork is now known as demon_spork [07:56] use the repair utility on the win2k disk [07:58] Started copying all the data to the other drive... [07:58] should have done that right away. Wouldve not taken 6 hours. meh. [07:59] Anybody know how I can figure ou what pot my openssh is running on? [07:59] port not pot [07:59] jarrettgreen: did you change it from the default, usually it is port 22 [08:00] arejc I did not . And that's the port I thought it was [08:00] Visitor13, just use the recovery console on the Windows install disk, using Fixboot and fixmbr, then when Windows successfully boots, stick in the ubuntu live disk [08:00] Visitor13, and there are great tutorials online on how to reinstall Grub from there [08:01] systool lists 'acpi' as a supported sysfs bus. Can you explain why systool considers ACPI a bus? [08:01] jarrettgreen: you can look at /etc/ssh/sshd_config to check [08:02] demon: I tried that [08:02] hmm [08:02] I don't know what to do then [08:02] try #linux [08:02] demonspork: I get the generic "INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER" message then... [08:02] now that i have figured out how to install a linux distro from windows xp without a cd/dvd or floppy or usb (that is, via grub4dos), now i need a reason to really install one (other than installing a distro as a virtual machine). known reasons are: 1. security. 2. 3d desktop. 3. linux video games. can anyone suggest more? because i don't feel motivated enough with these known reasons. [08:02] see if they can help [08:03] what's more [08:03] if i run bootcfg /scan the computer hangs [08:03] Maybe its a hardware defect..... [08:04] Hi All [08:04] on my machine [08:04] Visitor13, try ##linux, see what they can do to help [08:04] On my machine, "sudo hdparm -d1 /dev/sda" returns [08:04] HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Inappropriate ioctl for devic [08:05] does that mean my hdd cannot go into DMA mode? [08:06] hiii, how can I get X on ubuntu after it has been installed by Wubi ? [08:06] yao_ziyuan, ask your question in #kernel or #ubuntu-offtopic or #linux or #windows [08:07] ok [08:10] demon: thanks [08:10] /quit [08:11] I think #ubuntu's being attacked! [08:11] Every time i join here, i get a segfault with all irc clients [08:11] hmm? [08:11] after like 3 seconds [08:11] whats a segfault [08:11] segmentation fault, a "crash" [08:12] lol [08:12] Arelis, are you using xchat? [08:12] HinHin: yes, i was. I'm in irssi now [08:12] what crashes, your program? [08:12] Arelis i'm not sure that happens for anyone else but you. :D [08:12] and it hasn't crashed yet :) [08:12] :P... Arelis that's probably because x-chat crashes if it trys to load too many nicks @ one time [08:12] it happens in big chans [08:13] ah.. [08:13] pidgin crashes too [08:13] -_-... it's a super super super gay bug [08:13] im using xchat, its fine [08:13] no other client to my knowledge has this problem [08:13] well using Irssi seems to have helped [08:13] there's a really simple one off fix that will fix this though [08:13] Arelis, Irssi doesn't have that bug [08:14] HinHin: Hmm.. my Ubuntu's been running for a day and a night (about 24 hours). If it isn't a bug in this channel, then my Ubuntu got unstable pretty fast, since i installed it 3 days ago. [08:15] type this /set irc_who_join off [08:15] it'll fix xchat [08:15] HinHin: I remember "elisa" (media center) used to work. Now it gives this error: robin@robin-desktop:~$ elisa [08:15] Ter, wrong paste [08:15] err* [08:15] i really don't know why the xchat developers won't fix the damm thing for good [08:16] HinHin: http://paste.ubuntu.com/4947/ [08:16] HinHin: yesterday, elisa worked. [08:16] can someone suggest me a good firewall (iptables frontend) to install? I used to have firestarter, but it causes something buggy and i want to replace it [08:16] jim_p, try firehol [08:16] it's doesn't have a GUI interface [08:16] but it's really simple to use [08:16] really :) [08:17] it's litterly like samba accept [08:17] samba accept? [08:17] litterly? [08:17] and it default disables all servers [08:17] Does anyone know of a GUI PAM configuration tool? [08:18] well imagine writing a firewall in a very simple language [08:18] HinHin: Can you see what went wrong when you look at that paste? [08:18] TrustNoOne, look up the website and see for yourself [08:18] firehol is a cli app? [08:19] Arelis, not sure... sorry :\ [08:19] HinHin, i like asking about it, but i wont look it up, you see, i am a lazy man... thats right, im too lazy to click a few buttons but i will sit here and type all day because i dont have to move the mouse [08:19] but it looks to me you're missing some package or some module is another directory.... [08:20] HinHin: How could that be, if it worked yesterday? [08:20] HinHin: Some fault in the harddisk? [08:20] TrustNoOne, well i'll simply say it works then :P [08:20] Arelis, lol i sincerely doubt it ;) [08:20] HinHin, what works? i have no idea what your talking about, I wasn't paying attention... shh im watching a movie ;) [08:21] watch as the client connects and segfaults [08:21] TrustNoOne, what movie [08:22] anyone know how to get the tty's working in gutsy? [08:22] icesword, There Will Be Blood [08:22] furious_gerbil , you trying to do console ? [08:23] is there any way to make grub boot to a different OS 'next boot only' like I used to do with lilo? [08:23] zcat[1], hmm... i think there is :\ [08:24] has anyone here install xbt torrent tracker before? I'm stuck [08:25] Hello! I can't receive nor send any message from ubuntu. I can telnet localhost 25 but the problem is it won't send any mail to yahoo.com. [08:25] HinHin: Well i had problems with my harddrive before, but i hoped to fix that with SpinRite and Western Digital's (harddrive manufactuer) tool that i used to "write zeros" [08:25] rhineheart_m, do you run a firewall? [08:25] yeah I have a firewall. [08:26] hmm... might want to check the rules... [08:26] also try this [08:26] HinHin: m using the routers firewall.. [08:26] nslookup www.yahoo.com [08:26] i need help [08:26] and paste what it resolves [08:26] HinHin: where will i do that? in ssh console? [08:26] okay.. [08:26] yup in terminal [08:28] hello [08:28] HinHin: what do you think is the problem? [08:28] hmm where is that compiz plugin that mimics the OSX dock [08:28] rhineheart_m, DNS resolution is working [08:28] hmm... [08:28] jaek, use AWN [08:28] rhineheart_m, type this into your browser [08:28] 209.131.36.158 [08:28] or paste it :P [08:29] When trying to access a file on a network, I always get a "input/output error? anyone can help? [08:29] jaek, compiz doesnt have that dock that mimics OSX, you might be thinking of a program called avant window manager (AWN) [08:29] and see if it loads up [08:29] oh AWN... nice [08:29] systool lists 'acpi' as a supported sysfs bus. Can you explain why systool considers ACPI a 'bus'? [08:29] jaek, yeah it looks exactly like the OSX one [08:29] HinHin: m working from a remote.. I can only access the box thru ssh [08:30] HinHin: Okay - so i have a broken Elisa. I'm wondering if a reboot will fix it. If it does, what has caused it? [08:30] Arelis, sorry i'm not the best person to ask about your problem... :\ [08:30] anyone know my I might be getting just a spitout of a php file on my apche server, rather than it executing the php? [08:30] I mostly deal with networking stuff [08:30] how... [08:30] do I "Run 'make' " [08:30] HinHin: so...how's it? can you help me with it? [08:31] rhineheart_m, how did you try to access www.yahoo.com then? [08:31] jaek, you can install awn through synaptic (avant-window-navigator) [08:31] following these directions -->http://pastebin.com/m546ea0a9 what would /dev/sda2 be? [08:31] remotely try to access 209.131.36.158 [08:31] ok, I'll try again :) anyone know how to get the tty's working in gutsy? [08:31] HinHin: thru putty [08:31] via whatever browseer you're using [08:31] rhineheart_m, via X11forwarding right? [08:32] HinHin: I know how to ping.. if I will ping 209.131.36.158 it will respond.. no timed out... I don't use GUI [08:32] rhineheart_m, ah [08:32] i think i know your problem :) [08:32] HinHin: really? [08:33] TrustNoOne, it isnt a window manager, it is a window navigator [08:33] guys, can you tell me why my installation of ubuntu using an alternate CD to my presario is pausing on random stages of the installation and never reached the end where I could use it? this happens everytime and I almost wanna give up. I had to reboot and reinstall about 10 times and still the same thing.... it wont just install fully. It's like asif my dvd drive fell asleep for a moment and sometimes it don't even wake up [08:33] Anyone know why my php in apache isn't executing, but just displaying the file contents? [08:33] your router is most likely blocking port 80 [08:33] from where you are anyway [08:34] Does Flash work natively yet on 64-bit [08:34] ? : ) [08:34] do I "Run 'make' " [08:34] set your firewall to accect TCP/UDP connections to whatever port 80 [08:34] or, do I need to install a chroot still to use Flash in a 64-bit system? === co_basket_ is now known as gadiezz [08:35] is there a german irc [08:35] following these directions -->http://pastebin.com/m546ea0a9 what would /dev/sda2 be? [08:35] HinHin: m sure it doesn't block port 80. I have PCs in the LAN and I can browse wherever I like. and I have already the website up...so...how could the router block port 80 then? [08:35] Anyone know why my php in apache isn't executing, but just displaying the file contents? [08:35] erm anyone know how to solve my solution? [08:36] Presario : are you sure your cd is good? [08:36] jarrettgreen: better use web based tool to configure your server.. it is easier there... just orient yourself how to execute some functions there.. [08:37] well... rhineheart_m well what's happening regardless the problem... Is the router is blocking the tcp/ip packets to this remote connection of yours [08:37] HinHin: any update? [08:37] well... hmm... XD i have a good idea how to fix it [08:37] Z_o-s-1: yes... verified with the burner software and the "check cd for defect" that is bundeled along with the cd [08:37] >.<... kinda busy atm though :( multi tasking alot here [08:38] Presario : hmmm......i really dont know, you say that it stops randomly? [08:38] following these directions -->http://pastebin.com/m546ea0a9 what would /dev/sda2 be? [08:39] HinHin: it doesn't block. I can access the webpages of my website hosted there.. [08:39] Hey, has anyone in here heard of the service called GrandCentral? [08:39] but on that port? [08:39] Z_o-s-1: yes at different stages every time. and a side note... the installer recognizes the hard disk im installing is as SCSI1 but i'm sure that it should recognize as IDE or something like that [08:40] HinHin: here in our place..our ISP doesn't block any port.. I just asked them [08:40] Presario : Have you tried a regular live CD? [08:40] M using port 80 in http services.. [08:40] any help to conect 2 pc one windows and the other ububntu? [08:40] rhineheart_m, the thing is you can resolve the DNS name, a DNS name is like www.google.com [08:41] mildner: you use samba server [08:41] to something a computer understands e.g. 123.456.123 [08:41] What is a Software-Bus? (http://linux.slashdot.org/linux/08/02/02/2219233.shtml) [08:41] yes [08:41] yes and it doesnt even start the graphical stuff. it worked great on the laptop I'm using which i installed ubuntu USING THAT LIVE CD === co_basket_ is now known as gadieezzz [08:41] Z_o-s-1:that's y i turned to alternate cd [08:42] rhineheart_m: no its the nautilus [08:42] HinHin: thats the problem actually.. the box will tell me everytime I restart the apache and it can't find reliable DNS....something like that.. [08:42] i am not an animal [08:42] but what's happening... your router itself is filtering out TCP/IP packets your internet traffic over to your remote connection [08:42] i am a human being [08:42] dammit [08:42] Presario : I dont really know what to say here [08:42] no you are not [08:42] you are my woman, now get back in the kitchen [08:43] Z_o-s-1:hmms... thanks for looking into the matter though [08:43] Hinhin: what do you mean with that? "our router itself is filtering out TCP/IP packets your internet traffic over to your remote connection" [08:43] Z_o-s-1: just wanna know if it's linked..... does 40pin IDE cables makes data transfer a little difficult? [08:44] HinHin: okay...I will update you about the router's settings... a minute.. [08:44] Presario : It shouldnt matter, did it have windows on it before? [08:45] yeah but this is a reformatted hard drive. [08:45] rhinehear:whats a good book i can read about IT [08:46] sorry bout the typo on ur name [08:46] Z_o-s-1: I'm trying to have a fresh install in my system [08:46] rhineheart_m - I have webmin running, but under apache->php, all I have are Php Admin Config Values, PHP Config Values, etc. all blank [08:47] how can I start samba? [08:47] can you access the webmin page? its default is 10000 [08:47] yes [08:47] presario : I dont know what could be causing it to freeze [08:47] that's what I just did [08:47] jarrettgreen: what's the issue there? [08:48] php is not executing [08:48] just siplaying the file contents [08:48] displaying [08:49] jarrettgreen: will it give you the login page? it is in https... you can access it at https://IP:10000 [08:50] Z_o-s-1: do you think it's because of my 40pin plug? it's connected to a slave and master optical storage drives... [08:50] jarrettgreen: you should allow your router to let requests pass through port 10000 if you haven't changed it.. [08:50] Z_o-s-1: but i had no problems using it in windows before [08:50] rhineheart_m [08:50] rhineheart_m I am IN webmin [08:51] i'm configuring openbox, what is the command to open the run application dialog box? [08:51] rhineheart_m - but under apache->php, all I have are Php Admin Config Values, PHP Config Values, etc. all blank [08:51] Thanks guys [08:51] jarrettgreen: what version of webmin are you using? [08:52] jarrettgreen: you should be using Webmin 1.400 [08:52] 1.4 [08:52] Presario : Have you tried running memetst86 included on the alt.cd? [08:52] jarrettgreen: are you accessing the box remotely or you're just in the box now.. [08:53] Z_o-s-1: erm... is that a RAM test?

[09:07] presario : I dont think you can disable packages [09:07] i want to solve another myth: i saw wikipedia says modern linux kernels can keep "swap files" as efficiently as using a swap partition, so if i want to create a ext3 partition for installing linux, i don't really need to create a swap partition as well?

[09:07] if I have two soundcards installed in my machine, both onboard (seems to be an NVidia make) and pci (Creative SB Live!), how do I make sure Ubuntu uses the Creative one? strangely, after installation (and during ubuntu live sessions), the sound worked, but after I installed a couple of apps through synaptic, my sound disappeared :( [09:07] hi , i have a question ,,,^^ how to prevent a app/software/program access the network ? like window's fireware [09:08] phac3, why java? [09:08] Meroveous : try going to system - preferences - sound and setting the device you want as default [09:08] !firewall | iblicf [09:08] iblicf: 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). [09:08] to try something new [09:09] is there a way in the client server relation, (lan). that no client can start up unless its wire connected to the server? [09:09] hi folks, how do I display in command-line the differences between : /etc/kismet/kismet.conf_old / and etc/kismet/kismet.conf ? [09:09] Meroveus : try going to system - preferences - sound and setting the device you want as default [09:09] Z_o-s-o: it doesnt seem to make a difference... does the changes apply immediately? [09:09] AutoMatriX: diff? [09:09] should [09:09] auskadi: diff file1 file2 [09:09] oops [09:09] phac3, have you tried xchat? [09:09] it's taking tooooooooooo long. and the HD and CD drive's dead. [09:09] AutoMatriX: diff file1 file2 [09:10] Presario : Mine sat on Oofice a long time too [09:10] emja, sounds nice, thanks [09:10] * RingTailedFox waits for an answer [09:10] hangthedj:no [09:10] np [09:10] hangthedj:is that java [09:10] btw I cannot join #ubunt-fr ... is ther somenthing wrong with that server ? [09:10] i mean is that possible? it weird as it's taking too long to respond [09:10] Meroveus : you have to make sure you set all the options to the sound device of your choice [09:10] !minimal [09:11] The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [09:11] Z_o-s-o: hmms... okey... but how long is that? [09:11] try that presario [09:11] phac3, no, but i've tried quite a few irc clients across linux, mac, and windows. And xchat is the best in my opinion. [09:11] AndrewB, iptable is based socked forbid ... [09:11] Z_o-s-o: okey will try that later on [09:11] thatll let you exclude Oofice [09:12] emja, thanks for the help but these are both root files.... [09:12] Meroveus : Also, have you tried disablind the onboard sound in the bios? [09:12] Z_o-s-o: how long did yours stall on open office? [09:12] AutoMatriX: sudo diff file1 file2 [09:12] sudo does not work, should i go 'sudo su' ? [09:12] 5-6 minutes...but only on my HP laptop [09:12] AutoMatriX: yeah, I would [09:13] AutoMatriX: but it should work regardless [09:13] emja, so sorry, does not work with simply sudo [09:13] Hello everyone, I was wondering if there was a "Driver Cleaner" for Ubuntu. [09:13] AutoMatriX, you don't need sudo su, just su, that'd be like root doing su. [09:13] hangthedj: assuming he/she knows the root passwd [09:14] hmmms i think mine was already 10 mins plus and the led light shows no activity [09:14] can someone tell me a command to see my dns from the console ? [09:14] cherva: ifconfig [09:14] Presario : You can try booting the cd with the option noacpi [09:14] emja: whre is the DNS in ifconfig [09:14] no [09:14] but it doesnt seem like thats the issue [09:14] oh,my god. It`s is English Orz. [09:14] domainname [09:15] cherva: sorry, I was wrong [09:15] emja, i was assuming it was a local computer. but even if not, you'd want to do sudo bash, or sudo csh, etc. [09:15] !tab in here also linux [09:15] emja, marcus@wolfm200:~$ sudo su [09:15] root@wolfm200:/home/marcus# diff /etc/kismet/kismet.conf_old /etc/kismet/kismet.conf [09:15] hangthedj: I find that anything other than 'sudo su -' causes me to have an inconsistent environment [09:16] emja;, all the rest did'nt work [09:16] AutoMatriX: maybe it did. maybe there's no differences [09:16] Different, dists do different thing. Red hat enterprise won't let you do sudo su. [09:17] emja, there are differences and last command worked, but thanks anyway, you put me in the right direction :D [09:17] never tried Ubuntu sudo su [09:17] hangthedj: works for me. I haven't bothered to find a better way. there 's probably a few. ;-) [09:17] Z_o-s-o: that worked on getting my presario into DamnSmallLinux live cd.... but im afraid that there would be some disadvantages when I use it to install linux [09:17] what is this xorg program running in the background [09:18] Z_o-s-o: will it make my system handicapped when using it? [09:18] Presario : maybe so....id say go for the minimal CD and see what happens [09:18] Rael: That would be what controls all your input devices, graphics, and monitors. [09:18] Presario : Just for the install process [09:18] oh ok. I'll leave it alone then =) [09:19] Rael: Unless you like useing only the shell. heh [09:19] heh [09:20] hey what is the best ide to use in gnome? === eris_ is now known as eris [09:21] ello all, I've run across a problem with apt while upgrading i.e. my machine shutdown during it. apt is now complaining of unmet dependancies and to use the -f flag but when I use that apt still fails. [09:21] tbrock, ide for what? [09:21] any thoughts on how to get apt to ignore this package and move on? [09:21] Presario : Is there anything else you need? [09:21] perl [09:21] or c++ [09:22] degsy: try dpkg --configure -a [09:22] cheers void^ [09:22] tbrock, eclipse is always a nice start, just cause people make so many plugins, i use kate for most everything though. [09:22] I just use the plain old Text Editor for C, C++ or Python lol. [09:22] nice, thanks for th etip [09:22] yeah [09:22] i wanted some syntax highlighting [09:22] how do I change my boxes hostname? [09:22] tbrock, kate, has awesome syntax highlighting. [09:22] does emacs do that with out too much modification? [09:23] Degsy : I recommend you search google or hit the forums if you need help qucik [09:23] tbrock: Gedit does syntax highlighting (gedit is the default editor) [09:23] gedit does not do syntax highlighting as well as kate. [09:23] what about automatic indenting and whatnot [09:23] i get mad, when i click on a document and gedit opens it. [09:23] hangthedj: installing all those QT libs just for kate is sort of sadistic though [09:23] gedit rocks [09:23] is there a password remeber tool? [09:23] tbrock, kate is awesome. [09:23] hi whas up [09:23] Flannel, kate is worth it. [09:24] jarrettgreen: Check out this site. http://www.ducea.com/2006/08/07/how-to-change-the-hostname-of-a-linux-system/ [09:24] tbrock: If you want something more programmer friendly, check out gvim (if gedit isn't working for you) [09:24] frold: KeepassX perhaps? [09:24] !hostname [09:24] Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. Alternatively, use the gui at system>administration>networking on the "General" tab [09:25] I'm really impressed, at the advancements gnome has made, and my main desktop is gnome, but kate easily surpasses gedit. [09:25] Pici: Ill take a look at it :D [09:25] Z_o-s-o: minimal CD? as in the !minimal is it? [09:25] what bugless ramdisk do you people know? [09:25] ok thanks guys [09:25] really appreciate the advice [09:25] !minimal [09:25] hi [09:25] The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [09:26] Does anyone know of a driver cleaner type program for ubuntu? [09:26] hey also, how would you turn some modules off [09:26] and if kate doesn't then 'sudo apt-get remove --purge kate' [09:26] or make it so they don't load [09:26] Presario : Yep !minimal [09:26] how do i get onto the sickcat serve [09:26] Z_o-s-o: ok will try it soon [09:26] !blacklist | tbrock [09:26] tbrock: To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add « blacklist » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » [09:26] so my example is that i have a laptop and I want to power off stuff like bluetooth when I don't need it [09:26] ok will that power off the hardware [09:26] Echoside: drive cleaner? or driver cleaner? [09:26] helllo [09:26] which software exists on Linux that allows to share screen and/or collaborate ? [09:27] UltraNav: collaborate on what? [09:27] any1 tel me how to get onto the sickcat server??? [09:27] Flannel: I'll have to look at it again then, dident look like it was for linux. [09:27] UltraNav: gobby is a multiplayer-text editor [09:27] Echoside: no no, which one? [09:27] I need a ramdisk, where do I get one? [09:27] is there a way in the client server relation, (lan). that no client can start up unless its wire connected to the server? [09:28] RingTailedFox: you could have it boot off the server [09:28] ok awesome guys [09:28] RingTailedFox, i'm not sure, wouldn't it have to be on, to know that it was connected to a wire? [09:28] Flannel: Driver [09:28] Echoside: what sort of drivers are you looking to clean? [09:28] wow the emacs I use at work is mad old because the one with this version of ubuntu rocks, syntax highlighting awesome [09:29] Flannel: I am having problems with my lagacy nvida drivers [09:29] tbrock, lol [09:29] Echoside: just go into synaptic, and "completely remove" that package [09:29] Flannel: It works great, GLX works and everything, untill I reboot, then nothing works. heh [09:30] seriously we have some mad old sun os [09:30] and stuff is so old [09:30] amazing, thanks guys [09:30] hi [09:30] hangthedj no. i meant it cant boot if its not connected to server. [09:30] hey man, sunOs is solid. [09:30] Flannel how [09:31] partpart [09:31] RingTailedFox, but wouldn't it have to be on to know if it was connected to the server? [09:31] * morphir whishes sound will be fixed once for all soon [09:32] tbrock, do a / whois on me to see how i may feel about sun, haha [09:32] RingTailedFox_: LTSP, or just booting from a network image. The latter is probably what you wnt (since you want it to run on the local machine), but it depends a lot on what you want to do. You could probably make some sort of check for the server too (and then halt login, or shut down or whatever), without having to do too much, just a little scripting. [09:33] hahahhaha [09:33] just says your at stanford [09:33] Flannel i gues you mean pxe boot? windows dont support that. i would have to make ram = os size. [09:34] Sun, Stanford Universitynetworks [09:34] hahaha [09:34] i see [09:34] just visited my friend out there [09:34] who did stanford undergrad [09:34] works for facebook now in palo alto [09:34] Flannel thats the same thing that ldap does ? [09:34] really cool offices those guys have [09:34] pretty cool [09:34] RingTailedFox_: Windows will do it. But, why are you asking about windows in here? [09:34] back before cat existed. [09:35] Flannel, gnome has windows [09:35] Flannel i have clients that some are windows too [09:35] Flannel windows cant pxe boot. unless you have a big ram [09:36] RingTailedFox_: What exactly are you trying to do? Since, we can go back and forth with you adding requirements all night, or we can just get it over with to begin with. [09:36] hi,every1 [09:36] <_6StringKng_> yo [09:36] hello, i messed up my source list can ne1 help??? [09:36] bruce__, how did you mess it up? [09:36] bruce__: Go into software sources and you can fix it there [09:36] <_6StringKng_> sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list right? [09:36] <_6StringKng_> or that way [09:37] i keep getting this message: E: Type ' E: The list of sources could not be read. [09:37] <_6StringKng_> did you add a new source to the top of the list instead of the bottom? [09:37] guys, is there a way to automatically put windows side by side (tiled), similar to how you can in vista? [09:37] bruce__: Ah. You did a bad wget. Delete winehq.list from /etc/apt/sources.list.d and you'll be ok [09:37] hi, good morning [09:37] It needs administrator permission [09:38] good evening [09:38] how do i deleat wine?? [09:38] im new [09:38] on a terminal; "sudo rm -i /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list" [09:38] bruce__: Alright, we'll just go ahead and fix it instead of deleting/redoing. alt-f2 then type `gksu "gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list"` (without the ``s) [09:38] --^ bruce__ [09:38] wine sources list is always a problem. I gave up a long time ago, and just started building the releases myself. [09:39] !wine [09:39] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. [09:39] neat [09:40] bruce__: Once you're there, delete everything you see. Then go here: http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/sources.list.d/gutsy.list and copy all of that text, paste it into your open document, save, and you're done. [09:40] bruce__: (thats assuming you're on gutsy, of course) [09:40] yes on gutsy [09:40] Hi :) What text I should add to GRUB menulist to enable dualboot to FreeNAS and Ubuntu ? I've searched for info for past 2 hours without clear instructioning WHAT I should add. [09:41] thanx for the help [09:42] RingTailedFox_: It'll be the same as any BSD distro (since thats what FreeNAS is) [09:42] Rautamiekka, that was for you. Also, which partition is FreeNAS in?

I'm afraid I might end up screwing up my system that way actually [10:45] better than opensuse? [10:45] Its like using a root login [10:45] But stick with Ubuntu :) [10:45] Yes better than! [10:45] ok :D [10:46] One time, Suse had the winning distro. [10:46] But then came Ubuntu [10:46] yeah on my main pc my vista crashed and i cant install xp coz i dont have a floppy drive and need sata drivers [10:46] SkyBlader well only if you are root, or prefacing commands with "su" ... and besides, you need to accept that while learning you'll screw something up [10:46] and i dont have a vista cd, i eh borrowed one lol [10:46] for installing it [10:46] Redhat had the almighty first but then Suse came.... [10:46] SkyBlader luckily all the packages and OS are free, and easy to install ;) [10:46] SkyBlader: why cant i see the gdesklets command ? [10:46] so the only OS that i can install now is linux -.- [10:46] Not nessarcy Jezz [10:46] U can dual boot [10:47] U can install VMWARE :) [10:47] :D [10:47] cool [10:47] Jezz: that's a blessing :) [10:47] Cew27: sorry, but I don't really know what a gdesklet is...

[10:48] why using M$ when you can use ubuntu :D [10:48] hmm vmware is fairly straight forward except on VIsta atm [10:48] anonA1: my problem stems from configuring stuff rather than installing them, mostly. [10:48] no my vista crashed lol [10:48] SkyBlader: its just a widget on the desktop, i havet he app running and i can see the widgets btu i cant see the process [10:48] cant even load in safe mode [10:48] so i reformatted but cant install xp [10:48] I use M$ windows as a gaming machine :P And if any other software that don't run on Wine [10:48] so now im stuck [10:48] SkyBlader yeah, the command line and vi rocks for configs. But that is just my opinion. Others for some strange reason prefer emacs *shudder* [10:48] No editor holy wars!

[10:54] SkyBlader this is a common problem [10:54] Did you manage to install the Nvidia driver via the system/admin/Restricted Hardware? [10:54] yeah that one [10:54] anonA1: probs=problem? (sorry, i'm spanish) [10:54] chocolatewithmin yes (sorry, i'm australian :)) [10:54] anonA1: well its because theres no real option available on the shared folders gui [10:55] yop all [10:55] SkyBlader these are networked windows shares? Not on the same computer, right? [10:55] Is there a way to see all the cronjobs/startup commands that are executed when my ubuntu boots? [10:56] CTRL+ALT F1 [10:56] during boot, log in [10:56] please any help to connect 2 pc via network [10:56] anonA1: :p, but 1024x768 is an high resolution, depth is set as 24 bits, but i don't understand waht is 70hz, 60 hz (refresh rate?), maybe the problem is i have to change the hz rate? [10:56] Andycassl: have a look at /etc/rcX.D [10:56] where X is the runlevel you boot [10:56] hello, i installed on my ubuntu an apache server & i have folder with mp3 files with hebrew filenames , but still with the browser i cant see the names well , does apache have some enconding configuration file ? [10:56] to get back to GUI mode, press CTRL+ALT+F7 [10:56] this shows all the init scripts that are run when you boot [10:57] nope, one's on a laptop connected via wifi, and another's on another pc. All connected via the same wireless router(the pcs are connected via a wired connection though) [10:57] yes but . it does't right work [10:57] Does work right....Hmmm Then it might be wise to compile manually...[Don't be scared :)] [10:57] Follow this....../me looks [10:58] chocolatewithmin your xorg.conf file needs to have the proper entries. In particular it'll need an entry for 60 hz, which lots of games use in fullscreen mode [10:58] hi, I upgraded from feisty to gutsy yesterday and my Xorg config is all messed up [10:58] chocolatewithmin: Hz-> higher = better [10:58] unless its an lcd monitor(still I choose higher when on one) [10:58] !mythtv [10:58] MythTV is a TV framework for Linux - Instructions for using with Ubuntu at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV [10:58] #nvidia [10:58] can somebody help me to get X (and GDM) back to a working config?

[11:00] how do i view a list of held-back packages? [11:00] Then read the INSTALL, which will probably saying someting like..."./configure" -> "make" -> "make install" [11:00] !nfs [11:00] nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS.

[11:02] Andycass1: you can also check the output of dpkg -L pureftpd [11:02] chocolatewithmin: IIRC = if I remember correctly. [11:02] Andycass1 do you mean the config file, or the init file? [11:02] it will list all files in this package [11:02] anonA1: init [11:02] SkyBlader: ok,:) [11:02] y'=y(1-y) [11:03] anyway, i didn't come here to help :( [11:03] oops [11:03] Andycass1: seems strange that it would be empty [11:03] could something have corrupted it? [11:03] * z0man wishes someone answer his question [11:04] well it's init.d [11:04] for one thing [11:04] hi! i tried to install latest alsa drivers but it wont install properly. tried to fall back to version .16 and lost all sounds in the system. any help? [11:04] m8ram: it displays the same /etc/init.d/pure-ftpd path. [11:04] does someone have installed internet explorer SEVEN on ubuntu ? ? ? [11:04] What's a good video editing program? I'm trying to cut videos for Youtube. [11:04] Since some are too long. [11:04] LoLLo through wine you mean? [11:05] Andycass1: perhaps you should reinstall the package? init files shouldn't be empty [11:05] uhm yes np [11:05] anon if u know it can we go in pvt ? [11:05] and before you start messing with init.d files, back them up [11:05] z0man: what question would that be? I just joined... [11:05] LoLLo you might be a sexual pervert, so no :( [11:06] Oo ?????? [11:06] hi, the updater said that there was a new version of amsn, so I installed it, but after the installation I couldn't install the previous version, and it saiuys it conflicts with libc6, but I can't install that neither because it conflicts with tzdata, what should I do? :s [11:06] i just set up my Canon i70 printer on Ubuntu 7.10, it prints fine, but what it prints is too small (looks like a scaled down page). Any tips? [11:06] my pappy said never trust italians [11:06] m8ram: uhm, it seems that i cant use the stop/start arguments on it either, im thinking its using some other way to start [11:06] omg ... however ... how can i get installation file of ie7 ? [11:06] Andycass1 reinstall it [11:06] LoLLo short answer is you can't [11:06] auauauauauaua how did u know it ? [11:06] ie7 has many hooks into the WinAPI [11:07] hmmmmmm OKZ [11:07] Andycass1: if it's empty it can't do anything, that's why I'm suspecting it's corrupt... [11:07] you could try with Wine or VMware though obviously [11:07] Andycass1 reinstall it ffs!!!!!!!!! you are making m8ram angry :( [11:07] it's not like it's going to cost you anything [11:07] ok but i must have an installation file that would be runned with wine ..... [11:07] LoLLo ciao bella [11:07] is it possible tot make the interface of gnome like kde ? [11:07] ciao cara [11:08] annonA1: no I'm not angry at Andycass1, just at what the upgrade did to my system... [11:08] puta [11:08] listen to meeeeee [11:08] ok but i must have an installation file that would be runned with wine ..... [11:08] m8ram yeah i understand [11:08] how can we see list of other channel? [11:08] LoLLo why the hell do you want to run ie7 anyway? [11:08] vlc, mplayer and totem all crash within seconds of opening avis [11:09] anyway, i'm not a big fan of pureftpd [11:09] 'cause an english course to be installed needs a ie version higher than 6 ... [11:09] hihihi [11:09] running gutsy, and it all used to work [11:09] sigh [11:09] LoLLo: firefox+user agent switcher [11:09] z0man: i m using ubuntu language- tr package. is this problem restricted driver. what do you mean ? [11:09] opera comes with one built in otherwise [11:09] uhuhuhuhuh what is user agent switcher ? ? ? [11:09] it's possible to install word 2000 on wine, because i can't, and wine db say it's possible [11:10] m8ram: It does not use init.d to launch itself, it is running fine - just have to figure out where does it launch from [11:10] bulkah -merhaba [11:10] LoLLo ah ok. Well even with everything you can do, it still might not work properly. Sadly the best advice is to boot windows :( [11:10] I like vsftpd, but don't get angry if you don't [11:11] merhaba jesse [11:11] LoLLo: it basically is a extention that tells your browser to pretend to be another one [11:11] wwhen doing a "dist-upgrade", it says that 3 packages are "kept back". how do i mark them for upgrade? [11:11] Andycass1 well do a "dpkg -L pureftpd" [11:11] Andycass1 find what files are installed [11:12] anon yep ... i type that in the terminal .... $: wget http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/downloads/ies4linux-2.5beta2.tar.gz $: tar zxf ies4linux-2.5beta2.tar.gz $: cd ies4linux-* $: ./ies4linux --beta-install-ie7 [11:12] how to tell machine wireless software to join a "network name" upon gnome start up? [11:12] Andycass1: I just installed pure-ftpd on this system and the init script is far from empty: wc -l /etc/init.d/pure-ftpd [11:12] 100 /etc/init.d/pure-ftpd [11:12] LoLLo that wouldn't help you anyway === Jezz is now known as Jezz` [11:12] but with the last string it says that there's an error with the downloading [11:12] the pure-ftpd init.d script is one of the worst btw [11:12] Andycass1: and I can't think of a way (other than manually starting) how it could be running after a reboot without an init script... === Jezz` is now known as Jezz [11:13] LoLLo can't you boot windows, or you are stuck with linux? === Jezz is now known as Jezz` [11:13] so even if i install ie7 the installation won't run ? [11:13] m8ram: it would take me another day to set up virtual users, i think ill rather find it by hand [11:13] m8ram: reinstall is not always the best option :P [11:13] Andycass1 you probably aren't reinstalling properly .. you have to get it to overwrite the old files. Can't remember the command [11:13] i've left windows 2 mounths ago and i won't return !!! [11:13] LoLLo there is a very good chance it wont [11:14] LoLLo: i already gave you a solution ;p [11:14] lo [11:14] LoLLo many of the things are dependant on ActiveX [11:14] ok np , it was an english course .... my english is good anyway hihihihi [11:14] lollo on what distro are you now then? [11:14] Jezz` did you install ubuntu? [11:14] UBUNTU [11:14] Andycass1: ??? I don't know pure-ftpd but I guess you could move the file/db whatever that holds the users and restore it after reinstalling? I agree that reinstalling isn't the best solution but it looks like your installation is corrupt [11:14] i mean version [11:14] 7.10? [11:14] 7.10 [11:14] ok 7.04 install almost done [11:15] Andycass1 first purge the old installation. Then install a new one [11:15] then ima gonna connect that pc to this monitor and hope you help me install nvidia drivers lol [11:15] Andycass1: another option would be to replace the init script with a working version: but if you don't know how it got corrupt in the first place there might be other files missing... [11:15] what problem do you have with that [11:15] hi, i'm still having trouble connecting to my wi-fi on my laptop (it's WPA protected), why is that ? (ubuntu 7.10 using wicd, on windows xp it works perfectly) ? [11:15] Andycass1: perhaps the disk was filled at some point? [11:15] don't replace the init script [11:15] Jezz` not to hard to install the nvidia drivers [11:16] DB44 hmm, well there is a fair chance that linux just hates you [11:16] DB44 that sometimes happens [11:16] jesse where u from [11:16] anonA1, well it's been lots of years of tough love, but still [11:16] IS THERE A PROGRAM THat check the useless folders/system files and removes it ? like CCleaner for WinZoZ ? ? ? ? ? [11:16] DB44 anyway, can't help, not using wi-fi [11:16] !wi-fi [11:16] Sorry, I don't know anything about wi-fi - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [11:16] any tips on getting my wifi to work properly with encrypted networks ?

[11:18] but it's still very flaky [11:18] it is deborphan [11:19] well i'm gonna read those docs [11:19] LoLLo or even better for you ...http://www.ubuntugeek.com/cleaning-up-all-unnecessary-junk-files-in-ubuntu.html [11:19] ok thx !!! are there other programs for the safety of the system to install ?

[11:22] People keep saying all you do is allow restricted drivers and all sources but it hasn't worked [11:22] Guess it hasn't changed much then :P [11:22] Wifi still new in the kernel area [11:22] Hmmm [11:22] native drivers didnt work [11:22] Well sorry no ....:P [11:22] just the setup systems aren't [11:22] Steve176 well have you allowed the restricted drivers and all sources? [11:22] still struggling with ndiswrapper and trying to find a good driver [11:22] afaik [11:23] then installed the drivers? [11:23] because they aren't in the 'normal' repositories [11:23] anybody know a good ATI forum I might get help for my Xorg troubles? [11:23] just go into synaptic and check everything [11:23] What is a 'software bus'? (http://linux.slashdot.org/linux/08/02/02/2219233.shtml) [11:23] hmm, well sometimes slapping your box violently will work. Of course, I accept no responsibility for any damage or loss of data [11:24] then searched synaptic for the bcm stuff and applied [11:24] lol [11:24] Is there a kernel option to disable wireless card recognition? [11:24] burofab probably [11:24] burofab in fact, yes [11:24] you can disable whatever you like, but you'll have to rebuild the kernel [11:24] anonA1 is there another way to "install the drivers"? [11:24] and if that kernel pops ... well you don't want to know [11:24] Steve176 um, manually === dooglus_ is now known as dooglus [11:25] Steve176 but sorry, i don't use wifi for a whole bunch o' reasons [11:25] i actually like to slap ppl who do [11:25] packet loss ain't my bag, pappy [11:25] but i did not install ubuntu yet...i'm booting from cd [11:25] in order to install it but it gets stucked because of my broken wireless card [11:26] burofab what is your real question? (and don't make it "what is it like to be a woman?") [11:26] anonA1 I find the eth cable trips people up in starbucks ;) [11:26] burofab take it out? [11:26] Steve176 lol, i getcha [11:26] burofab or disable it in bios [11:27] ok, i've figured to fix my wifi i need to do https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/iwlwifi_Intel_3945_4965/gutsy?highlight=%28WifiDocs%2FDriver%29 [11:27] can i disable wireless card recognition during live cd start? [11:27] Steve176 i connect through my cellphone, so sorry, can't help [11:27] but http://wiki.debian.org/iwlwifi tells me to install package "firmware-iwlwifi" where do i get it ? [11:27] burofab probably not. You can probably disable it in bios, if that doesn't scare you [11:28] apt-get intstall firmware-iwlwifi? [11:28] doesn't exist [11:28] is that the only way ? [11:28] burofab it is the easiest/best way [11:28] hey fellas, anyone know why my usb keyboard would not be detected after booting, but works if I unplug my mouse (also usb)? [11:28] i think it exists only in debianunstable resp ? [11:28] how do i check / get it from there ? [11:28] ok, thanks [11:29] DB44 have you enabled all repositories? [11:29] anonA1, all ubuntu ones [11:30] DB44 do a "apt-cache search iwlwifi" [11:30] i dont want to enable debian unstable [11:30] i already did, got nothing [11:30] (remember this is from the debian wiki, not ubuntu) [11:30] you'll do as your told, young man!

[11:31] becasue unfortunately it may be in unstable [11:32] Hmm anyone seen that problem before, tried to google it and the ubunu wiki page with no luck [11:32] i can't check myself, because i'm using the unholy [11:32] enabled propsed and backports, dont have it as well [11:32] Zedde, post the problem again, cant see it [11:33] Anyone has any idea ? When I'm in terminal session ( in x ) and press alt+arrow I get 3C3A3C3D3B3D3A3C3B3D any settings I need to change ? [11:33] DB44 well it's in debian packages ...

[11:34] i thought it was alt-number [11:34] DB44 i dunno [11:34] Zedde, check the gnome key bindings. though personaly I use alt-number to change with irssi [11:34] so how do you know it's in deb [11:34] no alt+"arrow key" [11:35] DB44 because i can use the google [11:35] tnx...

[11:40] when I boot ubuntu, the screen is so magnified, that I can't seen the ubuntu booting image [11:40] iosidt: what do mean !themes? [11:41] what should I do? [11:41] ian2, look what ubotu said after me [11:41] XeNix, if you did something to /dev/sda1 mabye you destroyed your mbr [11:41] oh ok [11:41] anonA1, ah right ... don't even know that way myself [11:41] XeNix and that could be exciting! [11:41] ive been most of the sites, gonna try whats left , thanks guts [11:41] guts - guys [11:41] anonA1: Well, theres no trace of pureftp, although i did find out that it uses /usr/sbin/pure-ftpd & to start. I have to find out where does it get its arguments like -j and so on... [11:42] Squawk : im on slackware fine now [11:42] hello [11:42] guys [11:42] ubuntu say enable to mount the partition [11:42] after 7.10 upgrade: firefox start-up takes 1min and freezes X... clicking on shutdown icon freezes X.. any ideas? [11:42] oops, quite more than I intended... [11:42] Andycass1 i know it's not the default install, but try vsftpd [11:42] any chinese [11:42] XeNix, enable or unable? [11:42] Andycass1 just don't tell anyone i told you [11:42] another thing, is there such a thing in linux, like norton utilities? [11:42] Could anyone see what the default for scroll history is on gnome-terminal? [11:42] unable Lol :s [11:42] blahbo, try running firefxo from a console and see if it gives you any other information [11:43] XeNix, wrong partition type in fstab? [11:43] ian2 um, what specific thing did you want to do? [11:43] iositd okay, let me check [11:43] ian2 there are many ways to achieve what norton utilities do [11:43] ian2: is that a virus scanner you are looking for? or does that include more? [11:43] XeNix, can you mount the parition from slackware? [11:43] or anything that fixes or optimize my system [11:43] no [11:43] wait [11:43] more like tuneup utilities in windows [11:43] ian2: what do you want to fix or optimize? [11:44] ian2: I don't believe there's anything generic [11:44] Andycass1 anyway, i like update-rc.d [11:44] but it's evil i tells ya! evil! [11:44] ian2 is there anything specific you want to do? [11:44] iositd: just figured that running firefox as root is really quick. however, running firefox as a user, it just hangs in there [11:44] Squawk : no :s [11:44] ian2 speak now or forever hold your tongue [11:44] Gee thx AnonA1 :P [11:45] Squawk : on fdisk i have them all on i mounted the partition when i had boot with ubuntu live cd [11:45] XeNix, if slackware cant mount it then there is obviously something wrong with it [11:45] cause i've been installing and uninstalling stuff in my pc [11:45] LoLLo already showed me that:P [11:45] m8ram, afaik you don't have to optimize your system. There is no registry which you have to clean out, the apt system takes care of it's self and it doesn't get fragmented due to superior file system :-) [11:45] z0man you're welcome, i don't know what for, but you're very welcome [11:45] how can I list packages I installed from the "hardy" repo? (am using gutsy) [11:45] So should I be installing 7.10 or Hardy? [11:45] Oo ?? ?? ?? [11:45] XeNix, pm me the command you used to mount it [11:45] blahbo: try creating a new profile for your user it might be a problem with your profile [11:45] !hardy | Eds [11:45] Eds: 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 [11:45] in windows when you do something like that it slows down the system [11:45] ian2 not something you have to worry about in *nix [11:46] ian2: installing/uninstalling won't significantly impace the speed in Ubuntu :) [11:46] ian2 in that respect, anyway [11:46] i hope it makes is SOMEWHAT clearer :P [11:46] m8ram okay, thanks....... will try [11:46] impace? impact ;) [11:46] ian2 you see, it doesn't have that nasty registry thing :) [11:46] blahbo, i don't really know why it hangs. You can try to reinstall it from synaptic and see if it helps as it can be corrupted/missing user files [11:46] oh ok [11:46] iositd: well it appears that it isn't true that the filesystem doesn't get fragmented, but the impact on performance is a *LOT* smaller [11:46] iositd okay, thanks will do that too [11:46] the registry is evil i tells ya! evil! [11:46] so linux doesn't need one in the first place? [11:46] am i right? [11:46] ian2: yep [11:46] ian2 whole different system [11:46] hi everyone i just looked on the nvidia website and they only appear to have their driver for 8800 ultra on 64 bit amd do they do a 6 bit intel one ? [11:46] m8ram, ok it gets fragmented a whole lot less :-) [11:46] ian2, antivirus? forget it in linux [11:47] doesn't rely on some weird assed pseudo-database [11:47] guys qucik question. human is a theme for what? Metacity? [11:47] LKC: I think so [11:47] LKC, what ext? link? [11:47] i know virus isnt a thing in linux, that's why i am migrating [11:47] to linux [11:47] sidenote: someone's hitting the wall here with a hammer or so :S i live in a flat and it's annoying! [11:47] well, there are viruses, and exploits and bugs etc [11:47] iositd: probably, not my strongest point anyway, haven't bothered to look into it because as you said it's a whole different system :) [11:47] but some software cant run inlinux [11:47] iositd i hate that [11:47] Whats equipotent to /etc/rc.d/rc.local in ubuntu? [11:48] Squawk: not if you also have WIN boxes on your lan! [11:48] virus's do exist, but the damnage they can do is minimal unless you run everything as root, and you have to work damn hard [11:48] m8ram, it doesn't even matter which file system you choose, they are all better compared to windows :p [11:48] iositd human is the deful them installed for ubuntu and im wanting top change it im just wanting to confirm if its a metacity theme or not [11:48] hi, I can't boot linux isos in qemu.. They either complain about no cdrom or just throws me into some shell purgatory.. Seems nobody's awake @ #qemu :( [11:48] anonA1, tell me about it =,= [11:48] bluesoul: that's the only downside to linux, but hey [11:48] hi everyone i just looked on the nvidia website and they only appear to have their driver for 8800 ultra on 64 bit amd do they do a 6 bit intel one ? [11:48] m8ram, i run clamscan under gentoo to check the samba share from my xp box [11:48] if i learn photoshop, i can learn gimp also [11:48] :) [11:48] Cew27, you can't use the default restricted drivers? [11:48] iositd: I agree, most stuff is better than in Linux, just spend last night trying to write a DVD n a friends Win XP box, when I left the disk was written but couldn't be read.... [11:49] LKC, i'm not sure ... [11:49] Andycass1 well it's /etc/init.d [11:49] Squawk: Hmm can't finde anything [11:49] but that doesn't help me with the fact that I now no longer have a working X anymore... [11:49] iositd: i havent finished my system yet im waiting on mobo im just wonderig if i can run 64 bit with my set up [11:49] m8ram, dvd burning from iso is just double click the iso on a clean system ... and install k3b (yeah ... just a single command for that) to burn it :-) [11:49] goodbye to everyone, thanks for the help [11:49] Andycass1 but you've already been poking around in there [11:49] [11:50] Zedde, other than gnome keybindings not sure, maybe have a look at your xorg conf? [11:50] Squawk: so ??? [11:50] Cew27, afaik it is supported as someone else i know also has that [11:50] Squawk: I can take a peek there [11:50] iositd: well we wer trying to write a huge bunch of images to a DVD, Win doesn't know much about isos.... [11:50] Zedde don't take a pee in there! [11:50] oh, peek [11:50] iositd: and I like the command line more... [11:50] m8ram, if you have 2 drives, even the live cd can do it faster ... :p [11:50] anonA1: haha [11:50] m8ram good man [11:50] iositd: whata afaik? [11:51] Cew27, afaik = as far as i know [11:51] anon1: thx [11:51] fuck this =,= now it's my turn with music [11:51] !language | iositd [11:51] iositd: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [11:52] yeah sorry =,= [11:52] I tried to install the putty simmulation, it works well there but I can't change the size of the text area. The window it salef I can change ( there problem seom settings but no menus ) [11:52] iositd that's what i do [11:52] why would you install putty on *nix? [11:53] the whole damn thing is a putty [11:53] just testing diffrent terminals [11:53] Zedde, tbh im guessing at the location as gentoo is my main os (installed ubuntu yesterday as a test), but probably /etc/X11/xorg.conf [11:54] anonA1, eluveitie good enough? :P [11:54] dpkg runs a script to configure ldap when slapd gets installed, where can I find that script? [11:54] iositd sounds a little ... european [11:55] anonA1, idk where they come from .... [11:55] I just use Chemical Bros. Crystal Method and a little bit of Dizzee Rascal mixed in for annoyance [11:55] my sound recorder doesn't work, but I can call in skype, can anyone help me? [11:55] it's the deep bass you see ... the frequency travels nicely through the walls and floor [11:55] have to go, might check in later... [11:55] flash!

I'm using the webui and i can't find where you set the ports for emule (i.e 4662 and 4672) [11:56] webui for emule? [11:57] I had to google eluveitie but liked what I read "Celtic pagan folk metal with melodic death metal influences" lol [11:57] Dr_willis: yes [11:57] anonA1, folk metal seems to travel quite well through walls etc on my volume ... [11:57] Dr_willis: no i mean mldonkey [11:57] I will illegally download some immediately! [11:57] i mean legally! [11:57] legally!! [11:57] how do i connect my nokia 3110c phone via bluetooth in wammu? [11:58] anonA1, i love folk metal <3 [11:58] Where do i set the networks ports in mldonkey (linux) ? [11:58] anonA1, oh no wait! we're talking offtopic here! that's not what this channel is for! [11:58] iositd i know. Dr_willis would have told us in a sec .... [11:58] oh and you've just made my day, thanks [11:59] iositd lol how? [11:59] i dont use mldonkey.. so i would have to say.. check its docs. :) [11:59] anonA1, i had the most shittiest start of my day ever now so i felt shit ... and you just made it good by getting my laughing :-) [12:00] haha [12:00] Hi everyone. Is this an appropriate to place to beg for help with a Ubuntu desktop bug/issue/problem/misconfiguration/me just being daft? [12:00] Dr_willis: sorry i'm in the wrong chan [12:00] !ask | rachel84 [12:00] rachel84: 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. :-) [12:00] Hello. I have tried to load the module gspca to be able to use my usb webcam, as I was in Feisty, but I get this error message: "FATAL: Error inserting gspca (/lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/kernel/drivers/usb/media/gspca.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)" The pertinent dmesg output can be seen here: http://pastebin.com/m2a306081 . First I tried the module which came with Gutsy, and then I downloaded and compiled the one [12:00] from the driver's home page: http://mxhaard.free.fr/spca5xx.html ; but the error stayed the same. What am I doing wrong? Thanks a lot for your time and work. [12:00] iositd well depending on how much I like eluveitie, you may have made my day too [12:00] rachel84 just ask [12:01] anonA1, imho they're the best folk metal band i know off [12:02] Right! Will do! I've got a problem with user switching. When I try to switch user I just get a blank screen. Sometimes I get the black screen when I first switch, sometimes the first switch works and get a black screen when I try to switch back to the first user. I'm running Gnome with Compiz on an Intel 910GL card. Trouble is, I'm not really sure where to look to start diagnosing the thing. [12:03] we've kind of put the channel offtopic it seems. ... back to helping oflks! [12:03] rachel84, is there any kind of error message? can you switch to a terminal when the screen goes blank? [12:04] Oh... and when I get the black screen I can here the log-in box appear and type a password and hear the Ubuntu log-in music. I can ctrl-Alt-F1 to get a terminal, but I can't see any error messages anywhere (probably not looking in the right place, though) [12:05] rachel84, have you tried to go back to the terminal you're having the login screen on? (usually it's the 7th one) [12:05] rachel84, dmesg or have a look in /var/log/somethingorother.log [12:05] Yep. Still the same black screen. [12:05] rachel84, and you can try to kill compiz on another terminal and then go back to see if it gives you a visual [12:06] Nothing relevant in dmesg or Xorg.log [12:06] anybody here can help me iptables routing with my ubuntu server? [12:06] timucin, what do you need? [12:06] Okay, I'll try killing compiz. (I'll probably disconnect from here in the process, but I'll be back.) [12:07] Squawk : can u help me pliz ? [12:07] killer, no idea, what do you need help with? [12:07] rachel84, ps aux | grep compiz --> kill the one with the highest mem usage (mine is for example around 40 meg) [12:07] !ask | killer [12:07] killer: 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. :-) [12:07] how to recover that [12:07] :s [12:07] ah, iptables ... the deal breaker with me and ubuntu :( [12:07] I have 4 servers on local ip and one ubuntu server with 13 puplic ip and one local ip on second nic. I need to make the routing for the web and database servers on this ubuntu server. [12:08] killer, define "that" [12:09] timucin, 13 public ip's. Wow. Ok do you understand iptables and just need pointers, or need help with a total solution? [12:10] a total solution will be asking too much. but after googling for one week and a deadline for tomorrow, a small example solution that I can edit for my setup will be excellent. [12:10] hello === aca_ is now known as Aca [12:10] timucin, have you ever set up iptables rules before? [12:10] anonA1, difference between ubuntu and windows on a laptop: windows: 2 hours top, uses swap because 3gb ram does get full, hd got full just after installing a few programs ... === Aca is now known as linuxuser [12:10] timucin, just so I know where im starting [12:10] i had delete a partition /dev/sda1 and when i had reboot / grub block "error 64"/ i had reboot with live CD and i had do grub --recheck " after when i choose ubuntu parition it say unable to mount parition . [12:11] killer, I told you before (I got you now), can you mount it with slackware? if you cant then the partition is borked [12:11] no, I have no experience with iptables before. [12:11] anonA1, linux: 3 hours usage, hardly uses mroe then 500meg ram, and after isntalling a lot of programs it uses a total of .... *wait for it* [12:11] 26gb ^_^ [12:11] currently, I'm using ipcop but I had to put an ubuntu server instead. [12:12] timucin, ok then I dont have the hour or two spare to get you right through it, however I can give you some pointers. il pm you [12:12] I wrote the details on ubuntu forums : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=706113 [12:12] I'm back. Killing compiz while the screen was black had no efect [12:12] how do I know which video card I'm using? === co_basket is now known as cutE_poppy [12:12] rachel84, have you tried to restart gdm/kdm (whichever one you use) [12:13] iositd 26GB of ram? [12:13] Squawk : what i can do now ? [12:13] !md5 [12:13] To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [12:13] Yeah, ctrl-alt-backspace flickers the screen for a bit but it then settles to black again. [12:13] how do I know which video card I'm using? [12:13] and where can I get the drivers? [12:13] anonA1, no :p hardly uses more then 500 meg of ram, the hd uses 26gb after isntalling all the programs i need and more [12:13] sofiankr1 dmesg and look hard [12:14] killer, if you cant mount the partition with slackware, then reformat the partition (have you actualy formatted it?) [12:14] iositd oh lol, i was confused for a sec :) [12:14] that's a lot of progs [12:14] Squawk: no i cant mount with slackware [12:14] rachel84, sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart if i'm right *looks at anonA1* [12:14] reformat i will delete all data on it [12:14] :s [12:15] use gdm or kdm - not ?dm :) [12:15] anonA1, oh yeah, and a few movies _legally_ downloaded and some music also legally downloaded [12:15] anonA1: there are too many options! [12:15] killer, you already said you altered the partition, so you probably borked it anyway [12:15] sofiankr1 ok, dmesg|grep ideo [12:15] Dr_willis, ? substitutes for a single letter, thus it will replace it with g when using gdm and k when using kdm [12:15] where can i download the alpha5 md5's? [12:15] timucin, I pm'd you a bit of info [12:15] Squawk ; i had delete another partition not ubuntu parition :s [12:15] hello.can i use enlightment with KDE? [12:16] oops. wrong chan [12:16] iositd, i have BOTH kdm and gdm installed... [12:16] and when i had boot with live CD i had access to the parition :s [12:16] Dr_willis i c [12:16] anonA1: I got three [12:16] killer, you didnt mention another partition, you said the partition you changed was /dev/sda1, and that ubuntu now cant mount that partition. That means that partition is scrweed [12:16] sofiankr1 ok, what about lspci|grep media [12:17] how do i connect my nokia 3110c phone via bluetooth in wammu? [12:17] Squawk: look on pm [12:17] Lettuc3, is bluetooth working in general? [12:17] sofiankr1 you should be able to figure it out from that ... or pastebin the outputs for me, and i'll look [12:17] anonA1: I got nothing [12:17] iositd yes, i can browse the phone in gnome, but what i want is to retrieve my SMS messages from it. [12:17] sofiankr1 ok, pastebin your whole dmesg for me [12:17] !pastebin | sofiankr1 [12:17] sofiankr1: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lines 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 channel topic) [12:18] killer, I got no pm from you [12:18] Lettuc3, i'm not sure wether that's possible without special software which i don't know :( [12:18] killer, dont dcc pm me, go with /query [12:18] i've a simple question about a little problem [12:18] iositd hence wammu. but it does not want to connect. [12:18] lyes ask pappy, ask [12:18] lyes: don't ask to ask, just ask :-) [12:19] sofiankr1 you done the pastebin yet? [12:19] anonA1: almost [12:19] bonjour tout le monde [12:19] hi all. after upgrading to 7.10, i found that my HDD performance is REALLY slow. plus, there are instanced of md5sum processes taking up most of my CPU === killer is now known as the-killer [12:19] Gigahertz allo, parle anglais [12:19] because you are english ? [12:19] okay, when I try to use Sound Recorder on Gnome it tells me my audio capture settings are invalid [12:19] because that's the channel language [12:20] !fr | Gigahertz [12:20] Gigahertz: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais. [12:20] anonA1: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57176/ [12:20] ah ok anon1 [12:20] ^^ [12:20] crap [12:20] any ideas why my HDD performance is really bad afte rupgrading to 7.10? it took my about 3 mins to copy a 2GB file locally [12:20] tell me, you use ubuntu too ? [12:21] blahbo, depends what you call slow. What sort of HD do you have? depending on which one, 11 meg a second isn't bad [12:21] iositd it just feels a lot slower. i'm running a toshiba laptpo with a core 2 duo proc.. sata disk of any kind [12:21] hardy-desktop-i386.iso: FAILED MD5 [12:22] (08:14:33 PM) iositd: rachel84, sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart if i'm right *looks at anonA1* <-- okay, that restarted the display manager and got rid of the black screen -- which is better than having to restart the whole computer. [12:22] does it mean i have to download it again? [12:22] iositd any idea of where those md5sum processes come from? i disabled indexing in the user profile... [12:22] CorruptTerrorist: yes [12:22] CorruptTerrorist: yeah [12:22] I want change /media/cdrom1 to cdrom0+ubuntu [12:22] please help me [12:22] oh teh noes... 2hr 15mins to wait then [12:22] sofiankr1 ah, looks like with your chipset (Intel 945GM) it's onboard video [12:22] But does it give any clues as to what the problem is? [12:22] blahbo, md5 processes are not related to indexing afaik [12:22] blahbo, give me a sec while i look it up [12:22] ehsan_: you mean mountpoints? [12:23] hi!! i have broadcom 4311 card and somethimes i get this error Ndiswrapper doesn't support monitor mode. :S can i fix it??? [12:23] sofiankr1 and it's using 8Meg of memory (pretty low) [12:23] iositd it's really strange.. there's an md5sum process that keeps trying to index a 2GB truecrypt file [12:23] anonA1: where can I get the drivers? [12:24] can somebody help me to fix my problem [12:24] why don't you answer me ? [12:24] anonA1: some games are working, but pretty badly [12:24] 5 min boot here... [12:24] anonA1: compiz is working great, however [12:24] faileas: my cdroms mount but doesnt add cdrom1(my dvd rom) ass apt source package [12:25] blahbo, there is a command that can limit programs to a maximum amount of cpu usage ... it isn't ideal but it would help you for now at least ... though i lost that name as well [12:25] ahh [12:25] sofiankr1 i'm not surprised with that amount of Ram allocated ... it seems it uses Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 [12:25] Anyone else got any ideas about my user switching issue? [12:25] iositd yep, i know what you mean..... still, this is really weird. [12:25] does anyone know of a good database management system, asides from OOo, for beginners? [12:25] anonA1: that's bad? [12:25] ehsan_: ahh.. tried editing sources.lst manually? [12:26] iositd it seems that md5sum is invoked when i start up firefox [12:26] yes [12:26] (after reading and understanding the man page) === hazzer123 is now known as freudinator [12:26] sofiankr1 well from my initial googling, many ppl with this chipset/graphics combination have a problem with slowness [12:26] padang [12:27] anonA1: not at all. compiz is running as smooth as silk, but the games have these blinking black spots or squares [12:27] blahbo, i agree, it's a wierd situation ... [12:28] sofiankr1 well all i can say is google "ubuntu Intel 945GM" [12:28] ok [12:28] thanks [12:28] as that's all i can do in this situation [12:28] rachel84: what is the problem? [12:29] What is a 'software bus'? (http://linux.slashdot.org/linux/08/02/02/2219233.shtml) [12:29] sofiankr1 check this page; http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/Ubuntu_7.04/Issues/Intel_945GM_video_issues [12:29] anybody else has an idea which process could trigger md5sum indexing? [12:29] anonA1: thanks [12:29] thank me after your games are blazing ;) [12:30] When I switch users I get a black screen. [12:30] I can still hear that the other user using is logging in, but the screen remains black. [12:30] sofiankr1 don't worry about the Gnome specific stuff on that page (of course) [12:30] rachel84: can you switch users in the terminal? [12:31] I can ctrl-alt-f1 to a terminal and log in. When I ctrl-alt-f7 back, the screen is still black, though. [12:31] faileas: yes [12:31] And what if it isn't F7? [12:31] hi [12:31] I tired, the other numbers just in case. :-) [12:32] rachel84: are you using any graphical effects on your computer/ [12:32] i'm trying to play 5.1 sound with vlc, but's it's defaulted to 2.0 stereo do you know why? [12:32] Hello! Does anyone have a short installation guide for imagemagick 6.3.x for gutsy? :) [12:32] Yeah, Compiz, with Deskop cube and anything else I could find that looked col. [12:32] ehsan_: dang... not sure then [12:32] faileas: but doesnt solve my problem [12:32] rachel84: maybe it's too much for your hardware? happened with me once in mandriva [12:33] The hardware handles it fine. It is just user switching that has a problem. [12:33] It is slike something isn't getting re-innited on a user switch or something. [12:33] so yay, ubuntu 7.04 install successfull [12:33] can i upgrade to 7.10 now? [12:33] anonA1, you've heard eluveitie yet btw? [12:34] faieas: i change all cdrom to cdrom1 and cdrom1 to cdrom [12:34] and how do i install graphic drivers? [12:34] iositd i have downloaded some, but can't listen to it here (at work ;) ) [12:34] i have a nvidia geforce 8600gt [12:34] hi all . how can I change the kde theme in ubuntu ... I mean I'm using amarok and I want to change the fonts [12:34] ?? [12:34] Jezz, system -> administration -> restricted drivers -> make sure they are all thicked [12:34] sofiankr1 here's another page that might help http://blog.nixternal.com/2007.12.30/intel-945-video-hint/ [12:35] anonA1, you're doin this while at work? lol nice ... [12:35] rachel84: do all the users have the same compiz settings? [12:35] iositd haha yeah [12:35] ok back [12:35] Hey all. I got a problem I think..... [12:35] hey does ubuntu come with glxgears installed in the default install? [12:35] anonA1: thanks! I've managed to install the driver [12:35] how can i upgrade to 7.10? [12:35] I got a nvidia Geforce FX5500 graphics card [12:35] anonA1, yeah it does for me ... but let me check [12:35] i have 7.04 now [12:35] sofiankr1 that should make a difference [12:35] yush [12:35] and i also need to install graphic drivers [12:35] anonA1: hopefully [12:35] aLeSD: You will probably get more satisfactory answers in #kubuntu. [12:35] but when looking at Screen and Graphics it shows that I use the drivers for Nvidia geforce 4 [12:35] I have just created the second user - the one I am trying to switch to -- so they will have whatever the default is. Not sure. [12:36] iositd don't worry. I was going to ask sofiankr1 to do a glxgears FPS check before and after installing and configuring the drivers to see the difference [12:36] bullgard4 :) [12:36] do you know why i have some horizontal tearint while playing videos (8600 gts ubutnu 7.10 proprietary drivers) ? [12:36] anonA1, it does have it installed by default :-) [12:36] iositd ah excellent [12:37] bullgard4: the problem is that I'm usint from ubuntu based system ... I won't install kde [12:37] Hey ppl, I think I got a problem. [12:37] I got a nvidia Geforce FX5500 graphics card but when going to System-Administration-Screen and Graphics at the graphics card drivers tab, I see that it has the nvidia Geforce 4 drivers..... [12:37] 12% of 694MB with 1hr 59mins... [12:38] by manually changing it, it stays at nvidia Geforce 4 (generic) drivers [12:38] anyone got an idea? [12:38] rachel84: my best guess is... there's something corrupt about the partition. try reformatting it [12:38] !anyone | Kutag1 [12:38] Kutag1: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [12:38] do you know if i can enable v-sync for playing videos with nvidia? [12:38] Kutag1, try the ones from the nvidia site [12:38] Kutag1, sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx [12:38] Ok ty bardyr, Ill try out your command [12:39] Kutag1, dont try them from nvidia.com unless you know what you are doing, it will break your system [12:39] never intended to do so [12:39] couldnt find linux drivers anyway [12:39] downloading the drivers... [12:40] aLeSD: Synaptic: "A versatile and easy to use audio player for KDE." [12:40] anything special that I have to do after having the drivers installed to doublecheck that I got the correct drivers? [12:40] x-fak, you can do it with nvidia-settings [12:40] Kutag1 you might be better off doing "sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx nvidia-kernel-common" then "sudo nvidia-glx-config enable" [12:41] ok ill try that one then now [12:42] bardyr, ok i need nvidia-settings [12:42] ok I'll restart my PC now [12:42] be right back [12:42] x-fak, if you use the binary gfx drivers you already have them [12:42] s/them/it [12:43] heh, his next question will be how to disable the nvidia splash screen ;) [12:43] bardyr, do you know how to check this setting? [12:43] anonA1, thank goodness it doesn't show for me [12:43] ah maybe it writes the "nologo" into xorg.conf now [12:44] hi, just intsalled ubuntu and basic lamp. i have a group called ftp and a user assigned to the group. in the .ini for proftpd i have the user and group stipulated. however it wont let me use my ftp program to write to anything other that the users home dir. have do i change permissions such that the user can write to the /var/www dir? [12:44] hello anyone using the nvidia driver [12:44] I can not figure out how to use dual screen [12:44] x-fak, in nvidia-settings go to X server Xvideo settings [12:44] i'm using it but i dont know how to configure it, i'm new [12:44] cambazz, nvidia-settings [12:45] x-fak, alt + f2 and type in nvidia-settings and hit enter [12:45] cambazz yeah, and it's easy from there [12:45] bardyr, thanks a lot for help i'll try this [12:45] ok [12:46] I need to restart x now [12:48] Hi... i just built ffmpeg and am hoping to make a .deb using checkinstall. How can I find out the depends for the build? [12:48] how do i change what permission a user has to a certain dir? [12:48] Oh another question: When starting up my PC with Ubuntu, I get the following: "Kinit: trying to resume from (some folders)" then on following line "Kinit: No resume Image" and a bit later an error with "request region 4300-433F" problem..... What is wrong here? :S [12:49] Kutag1 that's for kerberos ... [12:49] Is sda1 same as hda1? [12:49] artti, no [12:49] can you download the iso's via torrent? [12:49] AnonA1, would you mind explaining me what Kerberos is? [12:49] CorruptTerrorist, yeah you can [12:49] CorruptTerrorist, yes [12:49] artti: HDA= IDE SDA is IDE for the new kernels, SCSI for everything [12:49] You need BitTorrent client for that [12:50] BitTorrent is somewhere in the add/remove software section.... [12:50] I wanted to do performance boost using tutorial. [12:50] Kutag1 well it's related to authentication and logins etc ... if you don't know what it is you probably don't need to know :) [12:51] i need the iso so i can install linux :P . i use uTorrent constantly [12:51] Kutag1 it must be related to KDEs login? I'm guessing here [12:51] Well, I want to know whether it is a problem or not. The error related to request region 4300-433F? [12:51] I'm using the plain Ubuntu, with GNOME [12:51] hi, how to enable mod_userdir? [12:52] hello, can someone help me? [12:52] Jezz, just ask === ecwNick is now known as NickRW [12:52] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=706188 [12:52] i made a thread [12:52] how do you install graphic drivers? [12:52] i have installed ubuntu 7.04 [12:52] do i need to upgrade to 7.10? [12:53] Kutag1 doesn't really look like it, but look here if you are concerned; https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/103148 [12:53] Jezz, it is always a good idea to stay up to date :P [12:53] Jezz, you can install the graphics drivers via system->adminstration->restricted drivers (i lost that command that was give before) [12:53] okay [12:53] ok ty anonA1, I'll have a look [12:53] is there a way to bind a sound when an usb peripheral is plugged in just like into windows? [12:53] how can I view the boot output after I log in? === mindframe- is now known as mindframe [12:54] Kutag1 kerberos is used with samba sometimes (depending on your configuration) [12:54] Jezz, and iso's can be burned by double clicking them. It might not look like much, but the program works like a charm [12:54] "Your hardware does not need any restricted drivers" [12:54] ok cool [12:54] Jezz, then you don't need the restricted drivers :-) [12:54] hi ppl [12:54] oh but my resolution looks pretty weird now? [12:54] need some help :P:D [12:54] whit steam ;)) [12:55] Jezz, for just data burning you can use k3b (system->administration->synaptic->search for it, or type sudo apt-get install k3b in console) [12:55] Steam huh.... I hate Steam :P [12:55] i have instaled cedega 5.2.9 [12:55] after installed steam whit cedega [12:55] thnx [12:55] steam made me stop playing games online [12:55] but when i whana open steam shis sayng to me another process in use [12:56] Whats the .daa format? A windows format or? [12:56] frold, it's a poweriso format yes [12:56] windows format i tink [12:56] erf [12:56] daa is poweriso [12:56] mai instalation kit is .exe [12:56] its a disk image format supported by a single programme [12:56] * faileas wonders whats wrong with ISOs [12:56] how can i change desktop resolution? [12:56] faileas, not just a single program, i think that the total comes to a whole total of 3 programs (2 of those are convertors) [12:56] hmmmm - crapy download then :D [12:57] Jezz, system->preferences->resolution [12:57] thnx [12:57] What the heck, now when trying to run Terminal it just shows a blank window (no window borders or whatever :S ) [12:57] cool [12:57] * Kutag1 sighs [12:57] wow i kinda like this [12:57] iositd: i mean, nothing but that opens it ;p [12:57] everything works out of the box, no av needed etc. [12:57] now i will try open whit cross :P:D [12:57] maybe i dont install windows again XD [12:58] maiby it will work [12:58] lol [12:58] but then i need office, is there office for linux? [12:58] jezz xp sucks >:P [12:58] Jezz, I would install windows on a seperate partition, just for the games :P [12:58] Jezz, ti is pre-installed for Ubuntu [12:58] well i dont game [12:58] Applications-->Office [12:58] faileas, well the convertors open it 2 :p but they write an iso from it immediately, so yeah i get your point :-) [12:58] ah [12:58] great [12:58] :) === mindframe_ is now known as mindframe [12:58] Well Jezz, then it doesn't seem you need Windows anymore :P [12:59] one question then, can i upgrade to 7.10? [12:59] For 99% of the tasks, there is a linux tool [12:59] or you can create a virtual machine and run windows on that [12:59] Yeah I thought there was an upgrader... let me check [12:59] or do i need a new installation? [12:59] there is [12:59] Kutag1, 99? in my case that's 100% ;-) [12:59] you can go to update manager [12:59] is an updrage from feisty to gusty ? [12:59] are the torrents as fast as the mirrors? [12:59] ok so there is bittorent, usenet clients for linux? [12:59] and it should let you upgrade from there [12:59] btw it is Kutagh not Kutag1 :P and I know 1 thing that you dont need in Linux... anti-virus :P [13:00] bittornado client [13:00] Jezz, if you need a program, you can search for them in synaptic :-) sometimes that's even faster then asking :p [13:00] fuck antivirus for wat :D [13:00] Jezz, the best torrent client imo is ktorrent [13:00] cool [13:00] ugh... I've broken my fonts... I was messing with .fonts.config and friends and now all my apps use wierd fonts. How do I revert the fonts to the way they were when I installed kubuntu? I already tried removing .font*, but it's still messed up [13:00] thnx gonna look there [13:00] !ohmy | linux__ [13:00] linux__: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [13:00] AuntieNeo, I believe you can do it somewhere in your appearance location. Let me look [13:00] a [13:00] sry :P:D [13:00] oh come on. .. that's just normal language imo [13:01] System-->Preferences-->Appearance [13:01] go to the Font tab [13:01] actually, this is almost easier then windows hehee [13:01] Now you should be able to change the fonts [13:01] hello is there a way to .install ubuntu so that it asks for which packages to install [13:01] just need to learn some terminal commands [13:01] Jezz, indeed ;) [13:01] Or maybe not at all... [13:01] Hi everyone, have a prob, I chose not to install grub at install cuz i didnt want it to overwrite my original partition on my EeePC, but now I'd like to install it, but to (HD1,1) - how can i do this from the live cd? [13:01] I changed the ip address to static and now it is majorly screwed up [13:01] wow no sound drivers, video drivers needed :D everything just works [13:02] I can login but then I am getting black screen [13:02] haha yeah long live Ubuntu :) [13:02] oops, gotta dash [13:02] ciao [13:02] ciao honey [13:02] Im also fond of Ubuntu right after using it [13:02] Hey everyone [13:02] well ctrl alt F1 [13:02] does not work as well [13:02] ah i can even acces my ntsf drives [13:02] I especially like the Cube feature with my skydome [13:02] Hey chaps, no reason not to just remove all the UUID entries in fstab and replace with the actual devices (eg /dev/sda1) is there? uuid's are just confusing [13:02] my computer has gone blind [13:02] is adobee reader on the repos? [13:02] Has anyone here interacted much with the phone service known as GrandCentral? [13:03] Mohbana, you don't need Adobe Reader [13:03] cambazz_ did you do a ctrl alt f7 afterwards? [13:03] are the torrents as fast as the mirrors? sorry, no nick highlighting [13:03] Kutag1, i think i do evince doesn't render fonts that good [13:03] CorruptTerrorist, nope usually the torrents are slower [13:03] !medibuntu [13:03] medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [13:03] CorruptTerrorist, they are sometimes faster, sometimes slower, but they have the advantage that you can resume them later [13:03] Well, then I would look around [13:04] Torrents are not downloading from a server but from other users [13:04] mohbana:: unless you need to work with pdf files that have form entries [13:04] in my experience torrents are slower but more reliable [13:04] considering the fact that i have a slow conection anyways... is it not worth it being able to resume later? [13:04] faileas, i usually get rather high speeds on torrents (as in 500+) [13:04] I usually use torrents when I need to download large files [13:05] Is it safe to use the Medibuntu repo to install ffmpeg? [13:05] CorruptTerrorist, it is actually worth it if you got a slow connection [13:05] chazco: thats what i always used back in the day [13:05] iositd: the best i got was 200 kbps ;p [13:05] !webmin [13:05] webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. [13:05] chazco: but thats been forever, so i don't know if they've changed at all [13:05] and how do you get those effects? [13:05] Kutag1, is it worth waiting 10 weeks for a cd? [13:05] faileas, the best i had so far was 2 meg a second on a torrent .... which wasn't a peak because it kept it there the whole time :-) [13:05] EnvoyRising - Ok... i compiled it myself but i reinstall Ubuntu about once a week, and solving the ffmpeg deps can be chaos [13:06] berryl? or i dunno what it is called [13:06] !ebox [13:06] ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See the plans for Hardy at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EboxSpec [13:06] but i saw it on YT [13:06] Jezz, compiz :-) [13:06] oh [13:06] CorruptTerrorist, I just let my PC on overnight and downloaded it then xD [13:06] CorruptTerrorist: i keep the CDs handy for others ;p [13:06] then burned the CD to my HD [13:06] Jezz, if u installed ubuntu and video card drivers just start compiz :D [13:06] I mean the iso to my CD [13:06] how? [13:06] EnvoyRising, i've got it all running now, video, wireless and sound ;-) [13:06] * faileas should have brought it for the LUG === iositd is now known as gothy === jimlay_ is now known as jimlay [13:06] chazco: i wish i had that kind of time on my hands. not to mention, without a lan connection, doing anything linux related can be a hastle [13:06] hi guys, anyone familiar with the ubuntu style apache 2.2 vhost setup? how do the virtual.conf file, default vhost and site vhost files fit together? I am having some trouble getting it to work... [13:06] Jezz, "sudo apt-get install compiz" I think [13:07] ok [13:07] (as opposed to wifi..which is a nightmare) [13:07] or just go to System-Administration-Synaptic [13:07] last update broke amsn: http://pastebin.ca/916219 [13:07] Kutag1, compiz is installed in ubuntu [13:07] EnvoyRising, no way, once i knew what to do, it was a charm :P [13:07] and search for Compiz [13:07] no need to install compiz [13:07] mad_max02 I still had to enable it [13:07] EnvoyRising - Building it took about 10 minutes... if you mean the reinstalls i often dont have much choice :) [13:07] its already installed [13:07] compiz is already the newest version. [13:07] 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 186 not upgraded. [13:07] so how do i start it now? [13:07] EnvoyRising, wifi is easy! [13:07] Hmmm..... [13:07] Kutag1, most systems just miss xserver-xgl :-) [13:07] can anyone help? [13:08] Then it should be probably xserver-xgl to be installed yet [13:08] bardyr, it can be a real pain if it doesnt work (take my atheros 5007 eg for example) [13:08] !anyone [13:08] A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [13:08] Jezz, what version are you on? [13:08] 7.04 [13:08] Jezz, just type compiz ffs [13:08] gothy, ndiswrapper fixes everything :) [13:08] bardyr: wifi is easy on ubuntu assuming your hardware...im working with the intel wifi iwl4965..if you know anything, you know that the iwlwifi module is a bit buggy at the moment [13:08] Jezz, open terminal and type compiz [13:08] oooh [13:08] ok [13:08] lol [13:08] Jezz, you got in system-preferences-advanced desktop effects settings? [13:08] eh [13:08] bardyr, if that was directed at me, i already stated the problem [13:08] bardyr, sometimes it does ... but i got it to work with madwifi and it works perfectly now :-) [13:08] last update broke amsn: http://pastebin.ca/916219 [13:09] and madwifi...ech...talk about ugly [13:09] MIRC [13:09] woah i enabled desktop effects and then i got a white screen [13:09] :O === gothy is now known as hc [13:09] lol [13:09] when i type compiz in terminal i get this: [13:10] /usr/bin/compiz.real: Screen 0 on display ":0.0" already has a window manager; try using the --replace option to replace the current window manager.

[13:14] i didnt install anything lol [13:14] hc, mad_max02, it's still not working [13:14] LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL [13:15] Jezz, did you try "sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx" to get nvidia drivers? [13:15] after a reinstall that is [13:15] Jezz, dude u gotta install video card drivers properly [13:15] oh [13:15] tanath, it might've been updated, but the latest version is on their site. Also, by recompiling you rule out that it is corrupted or anything else wrong with it [13:15] ok kutagl gonna try that [13:15] tanath, dude remove the package with synaptics (complete removal) and then install it again [13:15] hc, well, it was working fine before the update, so obviously there's a bug [13:16] I am trying to get my Benq 19" FP92W monitor to work as a secondary monitor to my Macbook pro. But it is just blank. I got the extra wide desktop and everything, but the modeline or something is wrong. [13:16] Jezz, do you have nvidia video card ? [13:16] how can i reload the script of ubuntu that searches for the partitions and set them up in grub? i tried with the installed, but doenst allow me because i am not formatting the / partition [13:16] mad_max02, he said he has an nvidia geforce 8600 GT [13:16] yes [13:16] hm [13:16] mad_max02, i'm hesitant to do that because i'm not sure how many settings & such would be removed in a purge [13:16] some users reported problems with that card [13:16] but i tried kutagls command and now its downloading someting [13:16] tanath, does it matter wether settings go lost when you can't even start it now? [13:16] reason number 14323 why I prefer ubuntu irc over microsoft live chat help: technicians use words like "dude" "bro" "thingy" "cool" "winblowz" etc [13:16] tanath, I think that ur settings are stored in /home/user/.amsn [13:16] Jezz, it is downloading nvidia drivers ;) [13:17] Hello. I'm having a problem with Ubuntu 6.06 on a SuperMicro server with two Intel 82573E Gigabit Ethernet Controllers. I've described my problem at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=702209 --- Anyone willing to have a look at that thread and help me out with this? [13:17] :D [13:17] EnvoyRising, i don't think that's reason number 14323, that one is 13423 ;-) [13:17] ok and now its done [13:17] hc, it does when lots of things are tweaked, and i can't remember everything, and i don't want to lose logs or anything [13:17] hc: typo, sorry [13:17] tanath, just backup ur .amsn directory [13:17] so now its downloaded, do i need to install it? [13:17] mad_max02, purging won't affect that? maybe i should... yeah [13:17] 14323 was that it all will work in the end, no matter how difficult it might seem at first [13:17] ok Jezz, try again "compiz --replace" [13:17] k [13:18] you sure its installed? [13:18] you already installed it automatically [13:18] Jezz, apt-get install installs it after it downloads it by itself [13:18] coz i dont see diffirence [13:18] hc: guess i should have copied directly over from the "linux pwns" database instead of trying to touch type it [13:18] lol [13:18] I think that Jezz is going to restart his PC :P [13:18] Jezz, dude :D you need to reboot after install :D [13:18] EnvoyRising: not everyone here hates windows ;p [13:18] oh [13:18] ok lol [13:18] ok brb then [13:18] faileas, what? you sure? [13:18] hehehe [13:18] hc: i don't ;p [13:19] too bad, wanted him to get the white screen as a last reminder ;P [13:19] faileas, I dont hate windows I just stopped using it [13:19] mad_max02: i use it less than i did before ;p [13:19] I need some xorg.conf-master to get my 19" benq FP92W working... plz :) [13:19] but as things are, its more, it dosen't matter what OS i'm on, it does what i want it to [13:19] faileas: i don't hate windows (though, i DO hate vista), i just hate their customer support, lol [13:19] faileas, gave me so much sh*t in the past 15 years that I finally decided to get over it : [13:19] btw mad_max02, the terminal is acting kinda weird...when trying to launch it, I just get a white screen without borders on the location of where the terminal would be [13:19] :D [13:20] I think that my drivers are kinda %&*@%*& [13:20] EnvoyRising: i don't use the costomer support.i use IRC ;p [13:20] Kutag1, u cant run it at all ?? [13:20] mad_max02: wierdly i [13:20] faileas: touche [13:20] Kutag1, try setting ur desktop effects to normal and then run it [13:20] 've never had any non user stupidty caused problems ;p [13:20] mad_max02, it just doesnt want to appear properly. I get a white screen the size of the terminal [13:20] Kutag1, then run glxgears [13:20] well i dont see no diffirence [13:21] EnvoyRising, another one is that techs from linux world can admit there's a bug in their software, where m$ techs just say "no that ain't a bug, that's a feature" [13:21] I get about 20.000fps with glxgears so I'm sure that drivers are working properly [13:21] but doesnt ubuntu has something like device manager? [13:21] gah now it is removing nvidia-glx [13:21] :S [13:21] and installed nvidia-glx-new [13:21] so how do i see if its installed now [13:21] i dont see no diffirence [13:22] but that fixed the issue [13:22] Jezz, run compiz --replace again [13:22] jezz, what exactly is it you want to do with "device manage"? [13:22] hc: more like "yeah, its a bug, but lets just call it a feature. Example, AVN locking in position if you exit from the right instead of above, and im-switch locking keyboard input unless you tweak dead keys) [13:22] hm and then restart pc again 0.0 [13:22] 2375+ I'm getting [13:22] em checking if all the drivers are installed [13:22] EnvoyRising, yeah sort of like that [13:22] Kutag1, I'm using nvidia driver for the repos [13:22] mad_max02, purging it had no effect [13:23] its the most stable driver [13:23] EnvoyRising, the only thing that i'm using windows for is for games, since they still run better on it [13:23] allright if i quit the drivers are NOT installed lol [13:23] hc: good thing is, at least as far as i've seen, there is usually a discussion before they leave a bug and relabel it as a feature [13:23] is there an utility that can start and stop a hole bunch of services with easy to use menu , like sysvconfig > [13:23] ? [13:23] FlorisNL: maybe this one will help you: http://agenda.clustermonkey.net/index.php/Tuning_Intel_e1000_NICs [13:23] and while running glxgears it says "Error: API mismatch: this NVIDIA driver component has version 100.14.19, but the kernel module's version does not match. Please make sure tha tthe kernel module and all NVIDIA driver components have the same version [13:23] and im getting an average of 5k DPS now [13:23] hc: that was me until i realized that a) i don't play games too much any more (not enough time) and two, i've fallin in love with a few open source games [13:23] Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". [13:23] well that kinda low [13:23] /usr/bin/compiz.real: Root visual is not a GL visual [13:23] /usr/bin/compiz.real: Failed to manage screen: 0 [13:23] /usr/bin/compiz.real: No manageable screens found on display :0.0 [13:23] Window manager warning: "" found in configuration database is not a valid value for keybinding "toggle_shaded" [13:23] Jezz: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [13:24] Thanks wu47345, I'll have a look. [13:24] is xfs a recommended file system for a raid lms install? [13:24] mad_max02 I got a geforce FX5500 [13:24] or is ext3 better? [13:24] something wrong i guess [13:24] hc: something about playing a game, being pissed because something doesn't work right, then complaining to the devs to have them address it immediately. that or submitting the patch myself :P [13:24] I hit a max of 61XX FPS [13:25] lowest was in the upper 3XXX region [13:25] highest now 63XX [13:25] what drivers are you using atm ? [13:25] when setting the desktop effects to normal, it downloaded nvidia-glx-new [13:25] howto run a .iso file without burning it? [13:25] so I guess nvidia-glx-new [13:25] could someone recommend a good gui frontend to the shred command or some similar type utility ?? [13:26] wu47345, where would the modprobe.conf file be located? [13:26] Frold, you cant install Ubuntu by running it [13:26] Please, I am so close to get this second screen working. I just cant see the problem in my xorg.conf. [13:26] frold: mount it [13:26] EnvoyRising, yeah that's great :-) [13:26] frold, you have to burn it... no ther option [13:26] EnvoyRising, though i'm a dev of a game that's a mod of hl2dm :( [13:26] its not ubuntu I have as a iso [13:26] CorruptTerrorist, it depends on the iso [13:26] hc: i guess being on the dev team itself helps. what mod are you on? [13:26] cant Ubuntu mount it automatically? [13:27] EnvoyRising, sourceforts :-) [13:27] try doubleclicking it [13:27] hc: checking it out right...now [13:27] so when i type that compiz command i get this: [13:27] Kutag1, I'm using extra desktop effects and nvidia drivers from repos [13:27] Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".

[13:27] anyone know how to change the ugly peach colored wallpaper that ubuntu gutsy has by default whenever booting up? [13:27] !themes | m0u5e [13:27] oh soryr lol [13:27] hi :) i tried to install all the files that seemed relevant to play .swf files in ubuntu ... yet my Movie Player still says i have a general error to play the file with GStream. what should i be sure to install to play .swf in ubuntu ? :) [13:27] hc: no matterh what it always appears prior to my wallpaper loading [13:28] frold: you talking about daemon tools? good stuff. anyways ,linux comes with that built in [13:28] any one here use ebox [13:28] you can run a iso in a virtual machine..i use virtualbox...but it wont work to install it [13:28] FlorisNL: oh, in ubuntu it's /etc/modprobe.d/options [13:28] hc, i'm talking about that peach colored default wallpaper you see before everything loads [13:28] frold, you can either mount it, or you can use a cdrom emumaltor, just search for "linux mounting an iso" in google and you'll get a bunch of hits [13:28] m0u5e: Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy [13:28] m0u5e, you can change the screen before your wallpaper as well, it might be a little bit of searching but tis' there [13:28] not sure if this will work, but i'm going to try... [13:28] hc: is it related to the theme? I already tried to change it with gconf-editor [13:28] m0u5e, themes aren ot just wallpapers, they govern the whole system of graphical stuff [13:28] Well the terminal appears normal now [13:28] so how do install the nvidia drivers properly now? [13:29] good [13:29] and agian not [13:29] hc: i've tried different themes, but no matter what that peach color is always there :X [13:29] Jezz, go to Restricted drivers manager and install it :D [13:29] !mount | frold [13:29] frold: Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in !GNOME under !Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For !Edgy and later, see !fstab and !DiskMounter [13:29] i guess it does work :P [13:29] mad_max02, after enabling extra desktop effects terminal is again white [13:29] just not exactly what i wanted to refer you to [13:30] did u restart after driver change ? [13:30] frold, there is a similar tool to the daemon tool that i have used on other distros called cdemu [13:30] ctrl+alt+backspace [13:30] m0u5e, i've found it to work when i looked for themes ... it's not the theme, but one of the other optinos .... [13:30] gimme a sec while i look [13:30] mad_max02, not yet [13:30] :) [13:30] I'm off to lunch [13:30] hc, thx [13:30] but I restarted after "sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx" [13:31] and then the terminal became bugged [13:31] hi [13:31] yo [13:31] so I dont think that that is the problem IMO [13:31] frold: you still around? [13:31] yay i had my first system freeze :O [13:31] LOL Jezz.. xD [13:31] restarting PC again === azdrubal is now known as asdrubal [13:31] yep yep.. searching for more about cdemu... [13:31] that mounting seems very advance.... [13:31] m0u5e, if i'm correct, go to http://www.gnome-look.org and look under splash screens :-) [13:32] hc, alright thx ill try that [13:32] can somebody help me get my network running? or at least point me to a good howto? [13:32] jtravnick, what' sup with your network? [13:33] i guess not. i found a script that lets you mount images from nautilus context menu [13:33] Does anyone have a spare moment to help me with an annoying problem. 99% of the time when rebooting Gusty on my Dell XP@410 it will hang on the Ubuntu Splash screen. Any ideas how to fix this? Thanks [13:33] hc: whats your dev name on that mod? [13:33] hoooooow do you install nvidia drivers [13:33] EnvoyRising, HisChild [13:33] EnvoyRising, now guess where this one comes from :p [13:33] or i need windows :O [13:34] hc: castles? lol [13:34] hc have three systems two running fedora and than my desktop running ubuntu the only system anyone can see is my laptop cant see eather desktops [13:34] EnvoyRising, hahaha :( [13:34] EnvoyRising, no :P [13:34] userwald0: which one to download: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=93175&package_id=256719&release_id=563855 couldnt find it in add programs [13:34] this is lame, adobe have made a repo for yum but didn't make one for apt [13:34] jtravnick, can you get online with all three of them? do you use the same hub/switch/router for all of them? are they on the same network? === DB42 is now known as DB44 [13:35] when I go to network the laptop shows up as "SFTP File Transfer on localhost [13:35] <_Andrew> mohbana, You can use alien to make a deb file === DB44 is now known as DB42 [13:35] hc yes all three can get on the internet are concected to a router [13:35] hc: i don't think i'm a big enough game junky to guess. reminds me of cube only because you can build stuff [13:36] hc, i installed the amsn package from the site, and now i get a popup error that says 'tkcximage failed to load'. i've seen that error before, but forgot how it was fixed [13:36] how do i check if i have any ports opened ? [13:36] hc: do envy you. wish i was on a mod/ dev team.. my green thumb is itching for a bit of coding [13:36] tanath, you probably have to install that package yourself afterwards [13:36] why does restricted driver manager i dont need drivers [13:36] EnvoyRising, if you apply i can probably give you a good word in there :p [13:36] i dont have nvidia drivers yet [13:36] mohbana, they did make one for apt [13:37] hc ive tried NFS and Samba but can never get to my desktop off anything else [13:37] EnvoyRising, where is it? [13:37] EnvoyRising, do you happen to know about networking fedora and ubuntu together? *points at jtravnick* === syarif is now known as liklik [13:37] hc, apparently... didn't seem to have checked for that dependency. [13:37] http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3bc38853, look at the last post [13:37] hc: seems a bit vague... i thought networking was os agnostic? [13:37] is the default 7.10 kernel tick-less ?? [13:37] the laptop is running fedora6 and have no idea what i did back than to make it work [13:38] EnvoyRising, yeah ... he wants his 3 systems linked together ... but i haven't done that yet in linux :p [13:38] tanath, that happens more when compiling programs (lives holds my current record with 10+ packages missing) [13:38] jtravnick, second ... i'm not that well with networking so someone else will have to do that one for you [13:38] ill fucking burn that iso - seems much easier :D [13:39] 4 min boot up time is unacceptable, what can I do? [13:39] hc, still not working :/ [13:39] hc, same error [13:39] hc k thanks anyway [13:39] mohbana: just a sec, net connection being slow. think you need to ad a reop [13:39] repo* [13:39] anybody here know if the 7.10 default kernel is tick-less ? [13:40] frold, you can just do something like sudo mkdir *insert mountpoint here* mount -o loop *insert iso file name* *insert mount point* [13:40] hc, this person had the same problem. no help: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/amsn-failed-to-load-tkcximage-615431/ [13:40] mohbana: ah, its in the medibuntu repo.. [13:40] frold: wait ... missing an && between here* && mount -o [13:40] mohbana: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-adobe-pdf-reader-811-with-plug-in-for-mozilla-firefox-in-gutsy-gibbon.html then just sudo apt-get acroread [13:41] hc; thank you but I burn it.... [13:41] EnvoyRising, ok but what i was getting to was adobe are hosting adobe reader on their servers [13:41] frold, ok :-) [13:41] thanks tho [13:41] is broadcom 4311 compatible with ubuntu 7.04 ????

[13:41] ubuntu now uses a light diarrhoea-brown as it's main color [13:41] hc: its over my Im new to Ubuntu/linux desktop level :D [13:42] hey [13:42] frold, hmm? sorry ain't really getting it [13:42] EnvoyRising, i mean adobe is hosting it on their servers [13:42] im configuring grub, should I remove quiet splash if I want to see the ubuntu logo when I boot? [13:42] hc: its over my noob level... to start mounting things... [13:42] mohbana: sorry, a bit slow right now. i see what you'er saying. teh rpm is on the adobe site [13:42] frold, ah i see :-) [13:42] frold: did you ever sort out your iso issue? [13:42] tanath, what package were you missing? [13:42] good afternoon [13:43] EnvoyRising: yep, by burning it.... [13:43] hc, tk8.5 [13:43] frold: you didn't have to burn it :| [13:43] hc, and the snack library [13:43] here I am again [13:43] EnvoyRising, yes! ubuntu is very popular i am surprised they didn't include a .deb package [13:43] frold: could have saved you a disc :-\ [13:43] hc, those were removed when i uninstalled the repo version [13:43] hc, i installed them again, but no go [13:43] mohbana: maybe its a redhat thing [13:43] tanath, you might have to compile it with the -dev versions of those as well [13:43] I know - but mounting and cdemu EnvoyRising was over my level - Im proud Im even was able to convert the .daa file to .iso using poweriso [13:44] hc, well, i'm using their package actually [13:44] tanath, "their" package? [13:44] frold: no. i found a "dee dee dee" method.. that would have allowed you to right click and select mount, lol [13:44] hc, i really shouldn't need to compile. i've found that leads to unnecessary problems at times [13:44] for the record. I apologize if me saying "dee dee dee method" offended anyone [13:44] hc, the official amsn package [13:44] EnvoyRising: too late, but thanks :D [13:44] hi, I do need to install an older version of the kernel and related headers, but with aptitude search I can't find it anymore (only last version), how could I do? [13:44] can anyone help me install a phillips webcam sic4700/37 ? [13:45] Ok guys, I got a Geforce FX5500 and on Windows, a game runs very smoothly. Now I installed the same game under Linux and it appears that the graphics drivers doesn't work properly for it as even the menu us very choppy. Is there a way to force a good driver for my Geforce FX5500? sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx didnt help much [13:45] tanath, i've found it easier to compile a package then to use preinstalled packages ...

[13:46] I'll try not to make you cry :) [13:46] hc, well i was running it before i updated, then when i ran it after the update this morning it stopped working [13:46] hc, did you see the output?

[13:47] FlorisNL: maybe the e1000 driver is already loaded in the initrd, so the option setting has no effect [13:48] EnvoyRising, I could connect to my wireless network so easily :S [13:48] tanath, that's why i'm suggesting to just compile it from their source ... [13:48] hc, hmm... synaptic says amsn is not installed :/ [13:48] Kutag1: i could too under ubuntu [13:48] Kutag1: are you using the nv driver? Check at System > Admin > Restricted Drivers Manager [13:48] tanath, correct since you compiled it from source [13:48] hc, again, no i didn't [13:48] try doing it with a distro that doesn't have autohardware detection [13:48] Frederific, yeah i enabled that one earlier [13:48] hc, for the 3rd time, i used the official package [13:48] but I think that it is a wrong detection [13:48] tanath, you just said you didnt ... and got that other message [13:48] Kutag1: oh, sorry, can't help then :( [13:48] hc, hm? [13:49] I appreciate your try to help me :) [13:49] t [13:49] sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg try this in a terminal Kutag1 [13:49] hc, i was originally using the version from the ubuntu repository, which worked until i updated this morning. now i'm using the package from the amsn site [13:49] wu47345: how would I check that? [13:50] tanath, which means you didn't compile from source but not installed from the repo? [13:50] hc, the new repo version gave me the pastebin output. the package from the site gave me the tkxcimage error [13:50] Bazhang, should I go for nv or nvidia? [13:50] kutag1 are you using any visual effects? [13:50] hc: when you get a moment, check out your pm === Meow is now known as CorruptTerrorist [13:50] jtravnick, I don't think that that is the issue [13:50] EnvoyRising, been there, done that, replied [13:51] but yeah, I have the desktop Cube enabled [13:51] hc: i didn't get a reply [13:51] oh =,= stupid thing ... [13:51] wu47345: go to an empty directory and uncompress your initrd there: gzip -cd /boot/initrd.img-`uname -r` | cpio --extract --make-directories [13:51] are they blocked by default? pms that is? [13:51] EnvoyRising, well i said: it's c++ originally, but valve has added a lot of stuff it's just fun to see it all happen [13:52] kutag1 I have the same card and if i run any effects i noticed problems with one of my games doom3 to be exact === Meow is now known as CorruptTerrorist [13:52] hc: oh ok [13:52] hola a todos [13:52] well, i guess i have my own issues now: anyone know what would cause me to be allowed to send but not receive pms? [13:52] wu47345: Ok, I've done that. [13:52] EnvoyRising, yeah i do [13:53] EnvoyRising, i'm not auth'd to the system thus i can't send pms [13:53] ah jtravnick, well so what do you recommend? [13:53] FlorisNL: now do this in the directory: find . -name e1000.ko [13:53] hc: oh, you didn't register. well register dammit [13:53] EnvoyRising, nick in use =,= and the one i DID register i lost the pass to [13:53] How do we control the permissions on a vfat mounted filesystem? The partition is mounted, but some directories are not readable for my user. For root, they are accessible. chmod & chown don't work. [13:53] Kutag1, first thing i would do is run with out efects and see if that helps also what reselution are you running? [13:53] wu47345: ./lib/modules/2.6.15-26-server/kernel/drivers/net/e1000/e1000.ko [13:54] Kutag1: nvidia [13:54] hc: could always spell it out then, HisChild that is === hc is now known as hischild [13:54] oh yeah [13:54] i'm getting an error i haven't seen before. one of my machines boots but lots of things aren't working. there's a message that says something like binfmts-misc couldn't be found(loaded?). the mouse light is on but the mouse doesn't work, ethernet card doesn't connect to the net. what could i have dorked up? i haven't installed anything on that machine in a couple months other than the normal updates that the update manager tel [13:54] ls me about. [13:54] good point === priscila is now known as priscila_ [13:54] kazim59: and you did sudo chmod right? [13:54] omg #ubuntu+1 is NO help [13:54] or just chmod by itself? [13:54] I am using 1280 by 1024 [13:54] and the game, based on Q3 engine, runs fine on windows with 1024 by 768 [13:55] FlorisNL: so you need to rebuild your initrd with e1000 module blacklisted. but i don't know how to do that. [13:55] CorruptTerrorist: well it is still only Alpha5--best be patient ;] [13:55] EnvoyRising: yes [13:56] wu47345: Ok. What exactly would that do, rebuilding initrd with e1000 blacklisted? [13:56] kazim59: maybe you could change permissions for the user instead of the file? [13:56] is there something like snapshot.debian.net for ubuntu? I need older version of some packages [13:56] FlorisNL: do you know what a initrd is good for? [13:56] EnvoyRising: I did sudo chmod. But it says Operation not permitted. I told you its vfat not ext3. [13:56] markit: backports? [13:56] Kutag1, ok thats the same res im running so yea i would try shuting off your effects and see if that helps any [13:57] wu47345: not really, actually. Is it the image that gets loaded when the machine boots? [13:57] EnvoyRising: mmm don't know, backports sound to be a different story... but url? [13:57] I rebooted last night and now I have what looks like another panel at the bottom of my screen that has never been there .. http://www.picpaste.de/Screenshot_9.png Look like maybe my wallpaper changes dimensions any Ideas [13:57] kazim59: oh ok. did you do a clean logout of windows? i know if i suspended windows or didn't shutdown properly i was forced out of that partition entirely [13:57] Ok jtravnick, going to try it [13:57] FlorisNL: its an _optional_ image. the image which _must_ be loaded is the kernel image. [13:57] EnvoyRising: I didn't boot to windows for a month or so. And I don't remember how was the logout :( [13:58] Kutag1, cant hurt and can always turn them back on if that dont work [13:58] wu47345: so this is like a fail-safe image? [13:58] EnvoyRising: the owner of those files is root, and group is plugdev [13:58] FlorisNL: an initrd serves as a preliminary root filesystem. so kernel modules can be loaded before mounting the actual root filesystem [13:58] FlorisNL: no, there is no fail safe image [13:58] wu47345: Ah ok [13:58] Morning all, does anyone have experience solving the problem of the ubuntu slowdown? My system seems to be getting slower by the week with ubuntu and I don't know why [13:58] has anyone tried this guide out? http://www.howtoforge.com/sharp_fonts_gnome? [13:58] FlorisNL: fail safe is just a different booting method [13:59] kazim59: like i was saying, instead of trying to chmod the file, try changing the groups you are in (via system > admin > users and groups [13:59] hi everyone. Im just having some trouble getting my wifi to work in ubuntu. I have guts 7.10 on my desktop and my dwl-g122 rev. C1 (rt73 chipset) works fine. All i have to do is select my wifi network on the top right corner of my screen and put my password and it connects just fine. However on my laptop which has ubuntu 7.04, when i do the same thing it tries to connect but never does. Anyone have any idea as to what could be the problem and how to [13:59] fix it? Thanks in advance im desperate to get wifi on my laptop since I can only keep it connected with an ethernet cable while its on the floor.. [13:59] kazim59: or sudo su instead of sudo chmod [13:59] wu47345: Ok, so the initrd gets replaced by the actual root filesystem once its mounted? [13:59] other than that, i'm out of ideas [14:00] I'm trying to install a game through Cedega, but installation stops, claiming my hard drive is full. Ubuntu also notified me about this, but they're talking about / ... does Cedega use some temp dir on / during install? my /home has 74 gb free space... [14:00] EnvoyRising: Got it. Thanks. I'll try adding myself to plugdev group. [14:00] hischild: i like the long name better..so much more tab completion friendly [14:00] FlorisNL: yes. the tools in the initrd load the appropriate driver modules like ide and ext3, search for the actual root filesystem (by its uuid) and then mount it [14:01] EnvoyRising, yeah i'll stick with it then :p [14:01] wu47345: Ok. Interesting. [14:01] it's also registered and i remember the pass this time :p [14:01] jtravnick, it appears that the lag was caused by the desktop effects [14:01] wu47345: So why would I need to blacklist e1000.ko then? Is loaded from the initrd instead of the e1000.ko on the root filesystem? [14:01] hischild: and maybe i could always run tech help for your mod's irc channel :P [14:01] Morning all, does anyone have experience solving the problem of the ubuntu slowdown? My system seems to be getting slower by the week with ubuntu and I don't know why [14:02] Is there any method to easily switch desktop effects from none to custom with desktop cube etc? [14:02] wu47345: When I look at lsmod, I do seem to have the new e1000.ko file. [14:02] EnvoyRising, we don't really have tech support ... other then on the forums, which basically always comes down to a few steps which end up in "reinstall steam" [14:02] hischild: i hate steam [14:02] wu47345:root@webserver:~# modinfo e1000 [14:02] filename: /lib/modules/2.6.15-26-server/kernel/drivers/net/e1000/e1000.ko [14:02] author: Intel Corporation, [14:02] description: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Driver [14:02] license: GPL [14:02] version: 7.6.15.4 [14:02] Kutag1, so its working now? cool yea the effects are cool but I dont run them since im also running a system that could use more memery [14:02] FlorisNL: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [14:02] EnvoyRising, steam sucks anyway :P [14:02] Jtravnick, yeah it works [14:02] FlorisNL: dont paste in here [14:02] Kutag1: i think there is an applet or something. exactly why are you needing to turn them on/off? [14:03] EnvoyRising, Kutag1 nothing against steam :p my mod runs on it [14:03] wu47345: Sorry for that. I pushed enter to soon. [14:03] EnvoyRising, when I want to game, I need to disable those to get proper framerate [14:03] And if I am not gaming, I prefer them disabled then [14:03] I am currently trying to install the programs .deb . Both of these programs tell me "Error dependancy is not satisfiable:libc6." I tryed to install one plugin for pidgin [14:03] Kutag1: install winefix. it automatically disables compiz when any opengl software is loaded (or windows games through wine) [14:03] hello everybuddy [14:03] hischild, ok, i installed the other package version for tk8.4 and now it works [14:03] Kutag1: fixes some other things as well [14:04] Ok I'll look for it [14:04] It is in the synaptic or software? :P [14:04] in a network where some clients are linux and some windows, server is linux, what are the ways by which i can restrict any pc to boot or login unless its authenticated from the server. and the uptime for each pc or login/logof time is recored too. in such a way that i can count for how much time the pc was loged in and used for the whole month. 2. no other computer can access internet that is not in the server list? [14:04] hi everyone. Im just having some trouble getting my wifi to work in ubuntu. I have guts 7.10 on my desktop and my dwl-g122 rev. C1 (rt73 chipset) works fine. All i have to do is select my wifi network on the top right corner of my screen and put my password and it connects just fine. However on my laptop which has ubuntu 7.04, when i do the same thing it tries to connect but never does. Anyone have any idea as to what could be the problem and how to [14:04] nobody has had a problem with their ubuntu system slowing down? [14:04] fix it? Thanks in advance im desperate to get wifi on my laptop since I can only keep it connected with an ethernet cable while its on the floor.. [14:04] wu47345: One strange thing. I've just rebooted the machine and can't login to it using its public IP. However, trough the second NIC, I am able to connect to it on the internal LAN. [14:04] FlorisNL: the initrd has its own copy of /etc/modprobe.d/options, so changing that file on the actual root filesystem has no effect [14:04] wu47345: This behavious happened before. [14:04] Kutag1: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=533257 [14:04] wu47345: Ahh, right. [14:04] tanath, good so it works now? [14:05] i need a to see a movie and use subtitles [14:05] hischild, yep. appears slightl faster too [14:05] is there an easy way to turn compiz off? [14:05] hatschi [14:05] hey guys, looking for a program that i can 'apt-get install' to do a simple print screen paste into [14:05] doesnt need to be anything fance [14:05] i'm looking vor the program dir of vlc, can somebody tell me hou to find [14:05] *fancy [14:05] Archangelpetro, go System-Preferences-Appearance [14:05] ty [14:05] hischild, it did mention that the package for tk8.5 requires the latest version, so i thought i'd try the 8.4 one since i had that too [14:05] then go to the tab Desktop Effects [14:05] for some strange reason ... the 'paste' of the printscreen into gimp doesn't seem to be working [14:05] and change to None [14:05] alt -f2 metacity --replace archangelpetro [14:05] knowbot: which vlc [14:05] knowbot: (thats a command, not a question) === ecwNick is now known as NickRW [14:05] hischild, thanks anyway [14:06] FlorisNL: it depends on from where you log in [14:06] video lan [14:06] My keyboard keeps locking up when I use some apps that steal the keypresses (VMware and Wine, mainly but also native games). This usually means the keyboard thinks I'm holding that key down and unfortunately that makes the system almost unusable. Logging out and in again or restarting X (same thing?) fixes this issue but is very destructive to my workflow. Is there another way to fix it? Like resetting the keyboard? [14:06] knowbot: no. to find where any program is installed, just use the "which" command in terminal [14:06] so i run it [14:06] wu47345: What do you mean? [14:06] FlorisNL: if you log in from the private ip range, you have to use the private ip [14:07] why isnt my nfs mounted drives showing up in nautilus? anyone happen to know? [14:07] knowbot: anyways, doesn't it usually install to applications > sounds & video > vlc? [14:07] Kutag1, i can just re-enable 'custom' to use compiz again, right? [14:07] ok tanx EnvoyRising going to tray [14:07] Yaroze: open up command line and type fdisk -l [14:07] no one know how to get wifi to work in ubunut 7.04 with a rt73 chipset? [14:07] hi everyone. Im just having some trouble getting my wifi to work in ubuntu. I have guts 7.10 on my desktop and my dwl-g122 rev. C1 (rt73 chipset) works fine. All i have to do is select my wifi network on the top right corner of my screen and put my password and it connects just fine. However on my laptop which has ubuntu 7.04, when i do the same thing it tries to connect but never does. Anyone have any idea as to what could be the problem and how to [14:07] fix it? Thanks in advance im desperate to get wifi on my laptop since I can only keep it connected with an ethernet cable while its on the floor.. [14:07] Archangel, yeah but you might need to enable some settings [14:07] EnvoyRising: nfs drives.. network mounted [14:08] hi ppl [14:08] wu47345: I understand. But the strange thing is, this server has two Intel NIC's. I installed the newest e1000 module and have loaded it. Now, since the reboot, I'm not able to connect on the external IP (which did work). Internal IP still works (though seems to be slow). [14:08] has anyone had a problem with ubuntu 7.1 slowing down? [14:08] zulerdongle: the rt73 driver included in ubuntu 7.04 and 7.10 does not work with wpa_supplicant [14:08] Yaroze: oh shoot, i read as nfts or whatever windows' alternative to fat32 was..oops :P [14:08] Malocite, not yet.... Try googling? [14:08] is there a known bug in hardy where only one core is seen in /proc/cpuinfo ? (I have an athlon 64x2) [14:08] ty also bazhang2 [14:08] FlorisNL: hmm, no idea [14:08] wu47345: Strange, huh. Anyway, thanks for the help so far. [14:08] archangelpetro, just alt f2 compiz --replace to go back [14:08] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=702852 [14:08] EnvoyRising: they show up with df -h however :) [14:09] kk mate, ty [14:09] wu47345: but i even set my router to wep, and it still doesnt work... what other drivers can i install [14:09] np [14:09] Yaroze: good to know. learn something new every day, even when you don't need it XD [14:09] any easy way to switch between channels using xchat other than clicking tab or window? [14:10] Kutag1: All I seem to find are various blogs of people talking about their systems getting slower and slower, and I talked to my internet tech support, and that guy uses ubuntu and has had the same problem. [14:10] hello I have a strange problem. I can only get X to start in recovery mode otherwise it just freezes and i have to restart. In recovery mode however X works perfect. Can anyone help me? [14:10] Malocite, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=702852 did you read this topic yet then? [14:10] bazhang2: alt + up or down? [14:10] zulerdongle: the newer driver (rt73usb) is included in kernel 2.6.24 [14:10] kutagl: He says he re-installs every 3 months and that solves the problem... but that seems a little excessive to fix a problem like that [14:10] Malocite, did you read the WHOLE topic? [14:10] When I pass the -fs (fontsize) flag to xterm it doesn'tmatter what I pass, 1 or 30, the font size is still the same. Has anyone figured out how to change font size in xterm when launching it? [14:11] i've got a phone connected via a usb cable, how do i find out what that usb cable is called under /dev ? [14:11] hi there, I have been using vmware for virtualisation till now, but I've noticed there are lots of other options, can someone recommend the best option? [14:11] kutagl: didn't see that one, I googled slowdown not slowing down, that'll do it.. .I'll read it, Id rather not reformat and reinstall just for that :) [14:11] lettuc lsusb [14:11] Lettuc3: dmesg [14:11] Nuba1, depends on what you want to do with it [14:11] just run XP virtualised [14:11] Malocite, dont worry ;) [14:11] Nuba1 that lists the devices, not the device names under /dev. virtualbox comes highly recommended apparently. [14:11] wu47345: thanks but how do i get that driver [14:11] brobostigon thanks. [14:12] I run a ltsp network, some users want/need XP sometimes [14:12] zulerdongle: you cannot run that driver with kernel 2.6.20 [14:12] anyone know a quick way to install wine? [14:12] cadefy_: apt-get install wine [14:12] cadefy, add their repo first ;-) [14:13] cadefy_: sudo apt-get install wine [14:13] www.winehq.com [14:13] add the repo?? [14:13] zulerdongle: ubuntu 7.04 has kernel 2.6.20, so if you want kernel 2.6.24 you have to compile it yourself [14:13] ta ignostic [14:13] !wine [14:13] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. [14:13] Cadefy, read the instructions on www.winehq.com [14:13] hello I have a strange problem. I can only get X to start in recovery mode otherwise it just freezes and i have to restart. In recovery mode however X works perfect. Can anyone help me? [14:13] its in the multiverse or partner repo [14:13] i hate irc sometimes [14:13] dont need to add it [14:13] k [14:13] It will tell you you how to install it properly [14:13] ta [14:13] 씨발! there, now i can scream profanities and not offend anyone :P [14:13] when i install wine [14:13] You need a custom repository to download it from [14:13] i can play Company of Heroes right? [14:14] Cadefy, you *could* [14:14] EnvoyRising, come now, be nice, this isn't windows we're talking about ;-) [14:14] No gurantees [14:14] so virtualbox is relatively easy to install? [14:14] wu47345 ok so where can i get the source to compile it [14:14] !appDB | cadefy_ [14:14] could? [14:14] cadefy_: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org [14:14] !appdb | cadefy_ [14:14] then what the fuck is the point in linux? === Dj-pury is now known as dj-pury_nn-ci_so [14:14] lol [14:14] Nuba1, sudo apt-get install virtualbox [14:14] Cadefy, proper languages please [14:14] tell me why i should use ubuntu instead of vista [14:14] i'm not asking how to install [14:14] lol [14:14] EnvoyRising: i have find the excutebole with the "which" comand file but i like to cage the webserver interfase, in m$ windows i can find those files in the programfiles dir, and i have no id how to find them in linux [14:14] I'm asking how it compares to vmware [14:15] And Linux isn't a gamer platform yet. But it is more stable and windows is just crap :P [14:15] zulerdongle: caution, compiling the kernel is not a newbie thing. http://www.kernel.org/ [14:15] Nuba1, that's how easy it is to install it :-) [14:15] cadefy_: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=4506 [14:15] thanks [14:15] yeah, and managing the images, etc? [14:15] how nice [14:15] wu47345 thanks, i think im just going to install some other drivers i know [14:15] cadefy_: also, we could care less if you use ubuntu or not.. thank goodness for freedom of choice, eh? [14:16] zulerdongle: other drivers for rt73? [14:16] also, can I use vmware images in virtualbox? [14:16] or do I need to recreate images? [14:16] wu47345 yeah some enhanced drivers for wep cracking [14:16] so quickly how can i do a check of how much mem is in this pc? [14:16] and Cadefy, 1 more thing: In Windows, you can get virusses etc... In Linux, you need Wine to get virusses :P [14:16] well [14:16] zulerdongle: oh, that one [14:16] ive had vista for a year and a half, not 1 virus yet [14:16] wu47345 http://homepages.tu-darmstadt.de/~p_larbig/wlan/ [14:16] just uninstalled my antivirus for taking up memory, have no need for it [14:17] zulerdongle: you will not be able to use wpa_supplicant then [14:17] viruses seem extinct for me on vista [14:17] why did you install ubuntu? [14:17] Kutag1: TECHNICALLY you can get viruses in linux too :\ probability though, next to none [14:17] wow, cadefy, you are intellegent [14:17] EnvoyRising, and what kind of virusses could possible damage the system? [14:17] what [14:17] cadefy_: you should use whatever you want to use, but you should probably try all the options you can so you know what you like. linux happens to be free to try, so it can't hurt. [14:17] The only virus I know is a stupid user :P [14:17] !language > cadefy_ (cadefy_, see the private message from Ubotu) [14:17] !offtopic > cadefy_ (cadefy_, see the private message from Ubotu) [14:17] private message? [14:17] wu47345 meaning i have to set my router to wep? well for now i will do that then ill just update to 7.10 [14:17] taking the anti virus out of windows is stupid, its far too risky [14:17] how do i do that in irssi lol [14:18] Kutag1: the question wasn't the potential threat of a virus to a system, but the existence there of :P [14:18] cadefy_, this channel isn't here to persuade you to use ubuntu. if you don't want to, don't, but please, whatever you do, don't waste time that others could be using to fix their problems (ie getting support in this channel) [14:18] !irssi > cadefy [14:18] :) [14:18] EnvoyRising_: There aren't any linux viruses in the wild, and the few that have been have not been of much consequence. [14:18] EnvoyRising yeh youre right..... still, I love to debate :P [14:18] !language | cadefy_ [14:18] cadefy_: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [14:18] !offtopic | cadefy_ [14:18] cadefy_: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [14:18] so... can I use vmware images in virtualbox? [14:18] or must I create new ones? [14:19] zulerdongle: 7.10 still has the old driver because it uses kernel 2.6.22, the new one (rt73usb) is only present in 2.6.24 and above [14:19] Nuba1, nay [14:19] ignostic: do i need to stress again that i wasn't arguing the pervasiveness or potential threat of said viruses but rather the historic existence of said viruses? [14:19] so I'm stuck with vmware then [14:19] ~/ComixCursors-sources-0.5.0 % xinit -display :1 [0] [14:19] X: user not authorized to run the X server, aborting. [14:19] Any ideas? [14:19] EnvoyRising_: No, no. I was just being a pedant. [14:19] Nuba1, you can use vmware's vmdk images in virtualbox [14:19] hello I can only get X to start in recovery mode otherwise it just freezes and i have to restart. In recovery mode however X works perfect. Can anyone help me? [14:19] ah thanks [14:19] ignostic: i see. well no need, i myself am of the linux > windows camp anyways. games or not [14:20] mirc is so much easier [14:20] :P [14:20] click on the pm [14:20] tsmithe, u're sure? [14:20] By the way, I got some issues with the nautilus FTP transfers, just as I have in Windows. It can't support large FTP transfers for some reason as it seems that it gets stuck while in the middle of the FTP transfer [14:20] However, I never got that problem with emFTP in windows, a FTP client [14:20] Nuba1, yes. or at least, it lets me. [14:20] Do you guys have a recommendation for this problem? [14:20] just asking cause the other user said no [14:20] hey all where is the kick the troll button? [14:20] I'll try it, doesn't hurt to apt-get it [14:20] Nuba1 i'm sure you can use vmware images with virtualbox. in passthrough mode only or something. google it. [14:21] anyone know whats the wrong with this : rhea (vnaatane)350% find . -name har* [14:21] find: bad option harj1.1a [14:21] find: path-list predicate-list [14:21] Envoyrising, it is located under "ban yourself" [14:21] in ubuntu do i install wine from a 'package 'source' or 'git' tree?

[14:21] mykorrihiza: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg might do the trick. otherwise, we'll probably need you to pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log [14:21] yeah well, I'm on hardy alpha 5 [14:21] so should be same [14:22] Nuba1, cool!

[14:24] in fact, the reason photoshop works so well under wine is because hollywood funded it [14:24] !wine [14:24] or does ubuntu use something else [14:24] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux.

Next, it's only the background (again, also for a few seconds) and then everything pops up again and functions perfectly. Any idea how to get rid of this? [14:26] Hoarde, you can run dpkg-reconfigure xorg and select the correct resolutions. It should all be on the correct settings (it was for me, feel free to correct me on this one) [14:26] cadefy: the package is generally a well tested "stable" version. git servers offer bleeding edge that while *could* be stable, and just not made it into main stream, are generally too new to be stable [14:26] thank you very much EnvoyRising [14:26] is there a channel for Hardy support and chat?

[15:08] artti: you can see what files a package added by issuing dpkg --contents /var/cache/apt/archives/packagename if it's not in there, you should install libmp3lame0 and libmp3lame-dev [15:08] !pxe [15:08] Sorry, I don't know anything about pxe - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [15:08] my Wireless internet always shuts down after 5 min.

[15:09] does anyone in here use skype? [15:09] jarrwood : Use Gizmo [15:09] or Xmpp [15:09] :D [15:09] when I select the right resolution for the monitor (1680x1050) Ubuntu makes it 1680x1050 but keeps the screen resolution to 1400x1050 or some garbage (ie desktop expands past the screen) [15:09] CorruptTerrorist, only ask here or +1 as appropriate and the best way to do that is to use a torrent to fix that you give some it checksums your disk and away you go [15:10] jarrwood: used to [15:10] blogcrawler: If your Volume Control applet is visible yet then right-click on it. A context menu will open. Select there the 'Help' item. [15:10] well i have a cousin on skype can i use those and talk to him [15:10] how to grep a command? [15:10] jarrwood: no, but you can install skype, it works [15:10] Andycasss: command | grep foo [15:10] Andycasss: what do you want to do? [15:10] jarrwood yes, you can install it on Ubuntu [15:10] i tried that it said that the libsound2 is not satisfiable [15:10] ompaul, how can i give utorrent checksums? [15:10] prince_jammys, libmp3lame-dev couldn't find, but i installed liblame0. Now i finded it. Thanks. I messed with a hour. [15:11] CorruptTerrorist, torrent works on the basis that all is checksummed [15:11] CorruptTerrorist: the checksums are in the torrent.. what do you want to do? [15:11] fix a partial download with a torrent? [15:11] <_Adam_> I have a question, I currently run SUSE 10.3, can i install ubuntu without losing to much data? [15:11] faileas: thanks [15:11] faileas, tjhat was my suggestion [15:11] _Adam_: pretty much non [15:12] CorruptTerrorist: stop the download, force recheck [15:12] Andycasss: You grep the output of a command, not the command itself. Add as a suffic to the command in a command line "| grep " (without the " of course). [15:12] _Adam_: if your data that you want saved is on a seperate partition from / , then yes. [15:12] _Adam_, save your /home/adam directory in a tarball and then have fun [15:12] faileas, i'm downloading the iso as it's fater that the torrent. since it is the same file... can i just shove it where the torrent iso is and it repair it? [15:12] <_Adam_> so i can save /home then? [15:12] _Adam_, back it up [15:12] _Adam_ , ignostic: or have seperate partitions [15:12] Andycasss: suffic > suffix [15:12] CorruptTerrorist: i think i've down it before [15:13] how can I reinstall volume control popup? it is corrupted [15:13] CorruptTerrorist, yes you can, that was my initial suggestion, it was why I made that suggestion [15:13] bullgard4: thank you - faileas already answered that but not in such detail :) [15:13] oh ok [15:13] ompaul, faileas, thanks [15:14] <_Adam_> tarballing makes a lot of sence :) [15:14] hi i posed this in ubuntu forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4387814#post4387814 [15:14] some one got a sunix serial ATA 2100 card working whit a saber 250 gb hdd in ubuntu ?

[15:46] so it's mounted on /media/disk-1 no? [15:46] Seveas: What apps use the indexes beagle and tracker produce? [15:46] understand, easies way to make the /home map then? [15:46] i havent installed it yet [15:46] luichi you have to UNMOUNT it and the command is "umount" [15:46] Anyone tell me how I can integrate a URL into my desktop picture [15:47] amenado just read the post its all there [15:47] malsyned_, beagle/tracker plugins in nautilus and maybe other apps [15:47] i did not change anything system wise [15:47] Loading TkCximage failed. This module is need to run aMSN. Please compile aMSN first, instructions on how to compile are located in the file Install. this first happened after amsn uodate from 0.95 to 0.97 i searched in google and many others have same problem, but i don't know how to solve it as i am new in ubuntu 7.10 . i tried to unistal amsn and install again but didn't work. please explain exactly what i should do. i don't know how to compile... [15:47] luichi yes it is mounted on /media/disk-1 ... you have to do the commands I said earlier [15:47] ok i've done sudo umount /media/disk-1 [15:47] Seveas: thanks [15:47] dimas, you should simply apt-get install amsn -- no need for compiling [15:47] flaccid you can at least give a summary...rather than directing us to just read..its a courtesy [15:47] anybody in here using xchat-gnome? [15:47] luichi understand? "sudo dd if=boot.img of=/dev/fd0" .. where boot.img is the image [15:47] hi all [15:48] Bruum: the advantage to having a seperate /home partition is that if something goes wrong or if you want to do a fresh install of the next version of ubuntu then your personal files will be left untouched; if you are new to ubuntu though you may just want to do the guided partition [15:48] ye yes [15:48] luichi ok :) [15:48] a summary would take about 5 paragraphs, is that ok? [15:48] i have to start fbpanel and gkrellm manually when i loginto enlightenement ntop of ubuntu, how can i make it autostart those on login??and is there something better than fbpanel, that doesnt need a flashy gpu?? [15:48] hey... people on #ununtu+1 are no help... can you help? [15:48] flaccid its okay, sometimes we know it is frustrating, but..we its nice to bounce ideas sometimes [15:48] luichi you'll hear some sounds, no doubt :) [15:48] I am running ubuntu 7.10, and have installed the non-free flash plugin which seems to be working. However, the problem seems to be that some flash movies play quicker than others. Does anyone have any suggestions to this problem? I have uninstalled, reinstalled, rebooted, completely removed and reinstalled all with no fix. [15:49] bouncing ideas doesn't fix problems :p [15:49] flaccid-> i meant it is okay for you to give us a bit of summary [15:49] who all is here - is mage_ here? [15:49] or ka2? [15:49] or pelo? [15:49] encrypt3d heh, one thing you have to live with is flaky flash player :( [15:49] seveas, it saids amsn is in his most recent version [15:49] CorruptTerrorist: if you are not ready for breakage you should not be using Hardy--the channel for that is #ubuntu+1 [15:50] dimas, cool, then start it from the menu under applications -> internet [15:50] i have the correct grub settings and yet im directed to a busy box shell saying incorrect boot= arg . what is the fix [15:50] thats a pretty quick summary.... [15:50] it's just that #ununtu+1 is useless [15:50] now i have made . sdb1 ext3 10gb, sdb2 sweap and sdb3 rest with name home... thats right ??? [15:50] seveas it saids the same [15:50] bazhang: having someone in #ubuntu+1 to answer questions would be useful [15:50] hello there [15:50] *ubuntu [15:50] I'm with Corrupt Terrorist on this one [15:50] luichi so what happened? [15:50] anonA1 boo! hmm, it seemed before that it was working, but perhaps after an update it borked the settings. Thanks for the reply [15:50] luichi i'm all interested [15:50] I'm having a bit of trouble with grub and need help [15:50] flaccid how often it happens? new install? how old are you disk? anything unique on your system? [15:50] mohero well I am useless but will join ;] [15:51] I've posted my problem in #ubuntu+1 no answer now in here, no answer..... [15:51] 205 users in the chan... none of which will help [15:51] i just installed ubuntu on my Eeepc, from a usb disk, to the memory card [15:51] how do i change the apache servername? [15:51] but when i installed Grub, i chose advanced, and typed hd1 instead of hd2 [15:51] How can I tell what my color setting is set to? Either 16, 24, or 32 bit in ubuntu? Its not on the normal resolution screens [15:51] !patience | CorruptTerrorist Mohero_ [15:51] CorruptTerrorist Mohero_: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [15:51] CorruptTerrorist, if noone knows the answer, noone can help you. Whining in here sure doesn't help [15:51] yes it's working! [15:51] :d [15:52] seveas amsn said i need to compile still [15:52] databridge, #apache [15:52] databridge, look in /etc/apache2/sites-available/*default [15:52] CorruptTerrorist what's the problem? [15:52] luichi hot diggity dawg!!! [15:52] i need to move my current installation of grub from hd1 to hd2 [15:52] Seveas: i put the name in there but doesn`t work [15:52] lol [15:52] amenado: all the time now, not a new install, brand new disk. not sure what you mean by unique. i have not changed anything and am experienced linux person. so what is your diagnosis from that? [15:52] dimas, then amsn is broken, try with a clean profile (move ~/.amsn out of the way) [15:52] !talktopeopleratherthanjustusingabot | amenado [15:52] heh [15:52] anyone can help? [15:52] thanks anonA1 [15:52] Is there a way to make your terminal go verbose after you've already started a command? [15:52] databridge, did you reload apache after doing that? [15:52] yes [15:52] hmm, I was actually going to help him too :) [15:53] hischild: cube/ saurbraten engine is an interesting concept btw [15:53] seveas how that come if i just unistalled and reinstall from synaptic? [15:53] bazhang : is thise correct : sdb1 ex3 10gb, sdb2 swap 1gb, sdb3 ext3 /home 300gb ?? [15:53] Hi. My system makes a system bell sound 5 or 6 times everytime I get to the logon screen or issue a shutdown. Anyone know what's wrong? [15:53] he'll come back anonA1 [15:53] flaccid at first i suspect you may have a disk going bad on you, if it happens often enuff, assuming you said your parameters are okay and it booted previously [15:53] dimas, no idea really [15:53] dimas, I don't use amsn myself, find it too ugly :) [15:53] So, Just a quick question... I am attempting to install the realtime kernel via synaptic, it has been sitting just about halfway through the install for a few hours. Is this normal? [15:53] anonA1 [15:53] ubuntu detects my resolution @ 75Hz is setting ok? If not how can I change it to 60Hz? [15:53] amenado: I know everyone's volunteers, and I've answered in here too, and in Ubuntu+1 - but i'm starting to get annoyed because I report bugs which still have status "new" I ask my questions in both channels and don't get an answer. [15:54] rwild, no [15:54] Bruum-> plenty enuff [15:54] aurum depending on the command an argument like -v usually does the trick. Maybe do a man on the particular command [15:54] EnvoyRising, cube / saurbraten? [15:54] seveas would you walk me through to remove it from the terminal? [15:54] Hm... Seveas, any idea of why that may be? [15:54] what is the first floopy i've to put to my laptop to run Debian minimal-install floppies?? [15:54] Im using -p 15500 16500 argument on my pureftpd but it doesnt seem to have any effect, my client still wants to connect to some random ports (~50000-~58000). What could be wrong? [15:54] Seveas i agree with the amsn ugliness .. what do you use? [15:54] ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/installer-i386/current/images/floppy/ [15:54] here is many more people with the same problem that happens only on ubuntu : http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-laptop-and-handheld-25/gutsys-kernel-wont-boot-608918/ [15:54] dimas, mv ~/.amsn ~/.amsn-old [15:54] Mohero_-> didnt you see the response from Seveas? if no one knows, you can not squeeze blood from a rock! [15:54] luichi that I don't know [15:54] dimas, that should do it :) [15:54] ok [15:54] i think it will be boot.img [15:54] anonA1, gaim [15:54] i have to start fbpanel and gkrellm manually when i loginto enlightenement ntop of ubuntu, how can i make it autostart those on login??and is there something better than fbpanel, that doesnt need a flashy gpu?? [15:55] hischild: its a os fps in the style of quake/urt assaultcube is the counterstrike-esque mod [15:55] anonA1, pidgin ofcourse now* [15:55] Seveas ah same here . cheers [15:55] or total conversion rather [15:55] hi [15:55] has anyone in here gotten their X-fi working in 32-bit? [15:55] ubuntu detects my resolution @ 75Hz is setting ok? If not how can I change it to 60Hz? [15:55] neufeind ask away pappy! [15:55] EnvoyRising, ah .. sounds nice but i never checked it out so far [15:55] hello, I have a short question, I just want to check... I bought the external disk od 500G. I need to use it for windows and linux both. can it be formated to fat32? [15:55] is there a way to install a Ubuntu-domU using virt-install as a net-install? [15:55] seveas and then? [15:55] steel_lady yep [15:55] steel_lady, you need fat32 or ntfs to use it in both, so yes :) [15:56] osotogari: as long as the picture looks fine, 75hz is fine [15:56] dimas, try starting amsn again [15:56] flaccid and the errors seems to be present at aroun same spot all the time? have you done fsck of your disk lately? [15:56] hischild: checked out any linux games yet? in general we're lacking, but as for fps's, we're pretty well off [15:56] Bruum: that is what the guided partitioner gave you? [15:56] anonA1, Seveas, they tell me it is too big for FAT32? [15:56] EnvoyRising, i've seen a few around yeah, but i haven't like really searched for them [15:56] now bazhang : made it manual [15:56] steel_lady ah, didn't read the 500GB part ... you can use NTFS [15:56] !ntfs-3g [15:56] ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [15:57] i have to start fbpanel and gkrellm manually when i loginto enlightenement ntop of ubuntu, how can i make it autostart those on login??and is there something better than fbpanel, that doesnt need a flashy gpu [15:57] steel_lady: yes, but single file size will be limited to 2gb; although linux with ntfs-3g can write to ntfs [15:57] steel_lady, hmm, I thought it could handle that but yeah, ntfs is a better choice anyway [15:57] sveiki [15:57] bazhang : Wasent it right? === KnifeHat_ is now known as KnifeHat [15:57] steel_lady, there is a windows prgram out there that will allow you to format a 500 gig FAT32... just google it [15:57] @ lex: there is some small ghosting but nothing really noticeable [15:57] seveas it said the same tkcximage module failed , so you need to compile amsn [15:57] I have a 500GB drive formatted as fat32 and it's always worked fine. [15:57] anyone gonna be mature instead of kicking? or shall i just go sit in the corner? [15:57] amenado: yes i have. the disk is clean. [15:57] dimas, very strange... [15:57] steel_lady or just use the ntfs-3g driver .. i've had no problems with it for quite a while [15:57] It came from Seagate formatted that way [15:57] CorruptTerrorist ask your question [15:57] osotogari: then you can change the resolution in System -> Admin -> screen and display settings [15:57] CorruptTerrorist now [15:58] amenado: anything else. if you google you will see dozens of people with this problem. [15:58] brobostigon-> can you not put that in one of those S under /etc/init.d using invoke-rc.d ? [15:58] dimas, sadly, I'm now out of clues. You might need to file a bug [15:58] no point, as it is a wubi problem [15:58] wait so in general you recomend me to use that disk with NTFS anyway? what if I want to work in linux and store it to that disk? [15:58] CorruptTerrorist, you won't be kicked if you behave. No whining or botabuse [15:58] Has Ubuntu 8.04 alpha4 been released yet? [15:58] seveas thank you very much for the help, i may do so [15:58] @ lex: Oh I know, however it only displays 75 Hz for my monitor and gives no other options in the dropdown box [15:58] how was that bot abuse? [15:58] steel_lady yes. There used to be problems with using NTFS, but for me, it seems to have been solved [15:58] flaccid-> but you said it was working before with no problems, and it just suddenly started to appear more recently? [15:58] steel_lady: if you mount ntfs using the utility ntfs-3g, there isn't a problem [15:59] is it possible to boot ubuntu in readonly mode? [15:59] !ntfs-3g|steel-lady [15:59] steel-lady: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [15:59] amenado: isnt there a file /home/user , [15:59] ^^ [15:59] AnonA1, I have feisty and I can not update to gutsy, will it be ok? [15:59] amenado: ah yes. which is the same behaviour reported on about 30 forum posts by dif people [15:59] osotogari: is the monitor model set to "generic"? [15:59] My sound does not work after a reboot. Ive not changed kernel, tampered with config files or such. Modules seems loaded (atleast by looking at output of lsmod). Device can however not be found. Any tips? [15:59] amenado its cool that you can't help [15:59] steel_lady: can you DL the alt CD and use it top upgrade? [15:59] hi [15:59] @ lex: its set to monitor 1280x1024 [15:59] brobostigon-> there is that dir, but not sure which of the subdirs there would be use to hide configs for the apps you were using [15:59] Im using -p 15500 16500 argument on my pureftpd but it doesnt seem to have any effect, my client still wants to connect to some random ports (~50000-~58000). What could be wrong? [16:00] i got a problem starting the live cd [16:00] i have 2 hard disks [16:00] and i think it's due to that [16:00] steel_lady I am not 100% sure. Someone will know. I don't *think* there will be a problem as long as you can do an "sudo apt-get update" [16:00] cuz when i unplug one of'em it functions well [16:00] flaccid yeah i dont have an answer, i have not had a chance to look at your menu.lst can you paste it? [16:00] luichi are you installing now, or what? [16:00] osotogari: if it's int he options, change the model to your actual monitor [16:00] amenado no i can't i can't boot nor can i boot from something else. [16:00] what irc client program do you all prefer? [16:01] flaccid i am familiar with grub prompt so who needs menu.list heh [16:01] it ends at the busybox with the modprobe abnormal exit [16:01] hmm, anyoneß [16:01] !poll [16:01] yes it's installing [16:01] Sorry, I don't know anything about poll - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [16:01] rickyricci xchat for GUI , irssi for command line [16:01] :d [16:01] !polls > rickyricci [16:01] i've burned boot.img and i have installed in my laptop [16:01] now i'm burning root.img [16:01] @ lex: ok i will try that [16:01] flaccid-> the 0ec1266c-830f-4b6a-9198-a409bfb5a31f uuid , its your device that it cannot detect, is that your / partition? [16:01] luichi you're a regular expert now :) [16:01] lol [16:01] rickyricci: urxvt+screen+weechat [16:02] seveas, what does !polls mean? is that a program? [16:02] i vote screen for the best app ever [16:02] flaccid you may be familiar with your menu.lst , i still have to look at it as i dont remember every quirky ness of such file [16:02] amenado we all have dif UUIDs. it wont boot with a UUID or a linux logic device name eg. /dev/sda7 [16:02] i know, ot :( [16:02] rickyricci, ubotu sent you a message, read it please [16:03] hello, boot problem, modprobe, 2 hard disks, could anybody help ??? [16:03] amenado its cool you don't have the skillset to help [16:03] flaccid-> and this would not boot from a liveCd either? [16:03] flaccid okay i dont have it, good luck with your atttitude [16:03] amenado as i said i can't boot from anything else. optical drive is gone === MrBIOS-_ is now known as MrBIOS [16:03] amenado attitude? lol no tone on irc dude [16:03] @lex: That didnt solve it [16:04] is there any technical reason not to install on lvm2? [16:04] by accident I removed somehow the desktop shortcuts to my partitions. how do I get it back? [16:04] demosh, I can't think of one real quick [16:04] osotogari: did you restart X for the changes to be made? see, doing that changes the settings in your xorg.conf that allows for the other settings to become available via the GUI [16:04] im intending to have everything but /boot on lvm2 [16:04] steel_lady-> you may be able to get it back from the gconf-editor in those sub menus [16:05] Is there any Free Shell with python installed that works? [16:05] i'm trying to create a launcher for this game that runs via a shell script [16:05] osotogari: eh, you are using a CRT right? [16:05] EdgOr_MaTRIx, nothing free is worth it in this world.

Using a TFT [16:05] PriceChild but lots of things that are GPLed are :) [16:06] i can run it via command line, but when i try to add an entry to the main menu, it just sits there. what command do i need to use to execute it from the main menu? [16:06] Bruum ask in channel. You may help out someone else [16:06] it appeers : this system has relativelty little free memory so it will enter low memory mode. Amog other things, this means that this program will proceed in ENglish. You should set up swap space as soon as posible [16:06] Bruum-> post the question here, we have been assisting you [16:06] osotogari: you can't change the "refresh rate" of an LCD [16:06] Can anyone tell me why Ubuntu works and Red Hat would on this Everex PC? [16:06] i press continue? [16:06] would not [16:06] luichi yes [16:06] ok [16:06] Jogger, no idea, ask in a red hat channel [16:06] luichi what is the system spec, btw?

[16:08] Jogger wrong channel. Wrong channel. And ... wrong channel [16:08] @ lex: Ha!! Well silly me! === hischild is now known as HisChild_afk [16:08] im installing a fresh ubuntu on my pc.. making the partition i have choosed manual, and then sdb1 is ext3 / with 10GB, then sdb2 is swap with 1GB, and then sdb3 is ext3 /home with 300GB, is that right? ore did i miss something.. thx "agein" [16:08] @ lex: it should be all set up so. thanks for the help! [16:08] Bruum-> plenty enuff [16:08] Bruum shouldn't be a problem [16:08] does anyone know why webmin isn't in the repos?

[16:09] malysned, I've seen that happen yeah [16:09] * overkordbaever detached from the session [16:09] * overkordbaever detached from the session [16:09] restarting fixed it for me [16:09] amenado : its the cd i got from ubuntu.com "not downloaded" [16:10] Bruum then it could be the CD Rom - your reader [16:10] * Nuba1 thinks gutsy is highly buggy, in comparison to feisty or heron [16:10] strange... [16:10] I need help figuring out how to setup my wireless network in ubuntu... [16:10] Bruum well run the verify cdrom anyays, or yeah maybe it is your device that going cucko on you now..

[16:11] Bruum just for comparison, i am able to boot a liveCd from a specific dvd drive, i can not from any other dvd drive i have, moving the same working dvd drive over to the other machine works. so i suspect my dvd drive has something to dowith it [16:11] the nvidia version number [16:11] the driver version?

[16:15] I've been following a guide on the ubuntu forum on how to prepare an usb flash drive to use it for network install. I want to use it with my tablet pc that has vista preinstalled. the problem is, that the partition manager installed on the usb disk can not handle ntfs partitions. how can I resize the partition without acquiring a partition software and without a livecd? [16:15] fioz easy on the enter key ;] [16:15] Nuba1 and if you are going to install webmin anyway, I'd advise not to [16:15] anon, I've always done so, as it is the easiest way to administer my ldap users [16:15] I've never seen a problem related to it [16:15] the executive summary is that webmin sucks more than a vacuum cleaner [16:15] What is the easiest way to run ubuntu on Mac OSX? [16:15] I reformated my 500G external back to NFTS and now it does not permit me to write to it telling I do not have the permission. what do I do? [16:16] hi [16:16] Nuba1, phpldapadmin if you want bebbased ldap administration [16:16] seveas, I accept that if you can tell me y? [16:16] Nuba1 as said, it thinks config files are not where ubuntu keeps them. Don't use it [16:16] phpldapadmin is way more complicated [16:16] Nuba1, it's broken too many systems and is a large gaping security hole [16:16] bazhang and amenado thanks for your help :) [16:16] i got macbook and i try to install ubuntu on external hard dive i just copy an paste the ubuntu live cd on my hard [16:16] !ntfs | steel_lady [16:16] steel_lady: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see /msg ubotu NTFS-3g or /msg ubotu FUSE [16:16] steel_lady-> i dont think ubuntu understand NFTS :) maybe NTFS? [16:16] Version: 169.09 Release Date: January 21, 2008 on Nvidia website [16:16] Has anyone gotten an X-Fi working in 32-bit? Not asking for help; just curious [16:16] Bruum: no worries ;] [16:16] i have question about wine and half life. I got the error message: [16:16] fixme:winmm:MMDRV_Exit Closing while ll-driver open [16:16] Bruum-> you got it resolved? cool [16:17] luichi you still going? [16:17] ok, so what you are really saying is, its a security problem in beginner's hands [16:17] i tried libcurl3 i installed something im trying to compile --with-libcurl but it says libcurl not found through the compliation :/ [16:17] not yet, but i know the burned cd i got have worked beofre [16:17] that I'll accept [16:17] what is the ll driver? A graphic or sound driver? [16:17] Nuba1, not just beginners hands really [16:17] amenado, well, as long as you understand what do I want to say, good... [16:17] Nuba1 no, in anyone's hands. AND it isn't ubuntu friendly [16:17] the pblm is when i reboot my macbook with alt/ option it not reconize my hard disk with ubuntu is it normal ? [16:17] sinbox I already have NTFS-3g [16:17] that it isnt ubuntu friendly, maybe, since its not in the repos ;-) [16:17] yes i i'm installing the last driver and i will install debian [16:17] i got macbook and i try to install ubuntu on external hard dive i just copy an paste the ubuntu live cd on my hard [16:18] luichi i'm excited [16:18] the pblm is when i reboot my macbook with alt/ option it not reconize my hard disk with ubuntu is it normal ? [16:18] can someone tell me what the ll-driver does? [16:18] cant find it on google [16:18] I dont like Nvidia [16:18] steel_lady, so it is reformatted in ntfs then? or is that nfts? [16:18] luichi i once had to install a whole debian installation with floppies ... it was about 16 as i remember at the time [16:18] nvidia > ati [16:18] steel_lady-> you use the ubuntu tools to format the 500gig or an xp? [16:18] Nuba1, it used to be. In a dark gray past [16:18] algum help em portugues [16:18] y would ebox be 'more secure?' [16:18] !pt | pppp [16:18] pppp: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [16:18] i got macbook and i try to install ubuntu on external hard dive i just copy an paste the ubuntu live cd on my hard [16:19] the pblm is when i reboot my macbook with alt/ option it not reconize my hard disk with ubuntu is it normal ? [16:19] uou [16:19] /quit [16:19] sounds to me its like the envy issue [16:19] sinbox, I reformatted it to ntfs with gparted after they told me here it is better to use it instead of FAT32 [16:19] i got macbook and i try to install ubuntu on external hard dive i just copy an paste the ubuntu live cd on my hard [16:19] the pblm is when i reboot my macbook with alt/ option it not reconize my hard disk with ubuntu is it normal ? [16:19] nobody an idea what the LL Driver does? [16:19] Nuba1, never having tried ebox, I can't know for sure. However, people who I trust very much have told me so. [16:19] amenado I used gparted [16:19] Nuba1, don't get me started on envy please... [16:19] Hello everyone. I just installed kubuntu 7.10 and I can no longer use "ctrl+alt Plus or Minus" to zoom in and out like I could in kubuntu 7.04. is there any way to fix this? [16:19] well, I'll give it a wirl, but I thought ebox is an entire solution [16:19] If i use "none" in Visual Effects" then when i close windows it looks really crap. can i do something that looks better ? [16:19] an entire server box [16:19] Nuba1 well, you could bite the bullet and actually learn how to config stuff properly ;) [16:19] that beast broke so much and so often that we once tried to get it banned from planet ubuntu [16:19] steel_lady-> and now when you mount it, or can you even mount it? what is the permission you use when mounting? [16:19] Becuase when i dont use compiz then i can nicely watch movies and all [16:20] Do anyone know if and how to change gnomes volume pupup? [16:20] I do... I agre that envy is relatively useless [16:20] have you added the "NTFS configuration tool" in your System Tools steel_lady ? it worked a treat for me [16:20] i'm trying to make a launcher for this shell script and i can't for the life of me get it to work. i've set the correct permissions via chmod but i still cant get it to run via double click (via terminal works fine) [16:20] steel_lady: your local user needs permissions to access the drive; aside from mounting it as well [16:20] but using webmin has nothing to do with not knowing how to edit config files with vi [16:20] thise chat are the most used help i have never seen... witout it how can pepole who never used linux make it? [16:20] its got to do with ease of use / time [16:20] now i have intalled all the drivers [16:20] Nuba1 i'm faster with vi .. YMMV [16:20] Nuba1, you don't need to edit things with vi to manage ldap users ;) [16:20] but i'm in debian menu installer [16:20] really? even to edit mass user lists? [16:20] is it better to leave swap outside lvm2? [16:21] Bruum we try to be friendlier, trying harder all the time [16:21] O_O [16:21] amenado it is mounted automatically [16:21] Bruum, There is hope for humanity :) [16:21] Nuba1 sure .. or at least scripting it [16:21] i have to go to the console and put wget $unetbootin.deb no? [16:21] Nuba1, shellscripts, sed, awk, tr... :) [16:21] steel_lady: so that just leaves changing the permissions then [16:21] anyone here running 8.04/hardy and 64 bit using firefox beta 3? [16:21] what is the channel name for ubuntustudio ??? [16:21] is there a way to use virt-install to create an Ubuntu-domU? [16:21] but i have to connect my laptop with the router no? [16:21] steel_lady-> whats the permission you see when you type mount ro ? rw? [16:21] yeah yeah, ok [16:21] Indiadev_Techie, #ubuntustudio :) [16:21] lex, how do I give those permissions? [16:21] amenado : lol, its working with my burned cd.. but not the cd i got posted from ubuntu.... strange [16:21] well, I don't have encyclopedic linux/unix command line knowledge [16:21] so it would be slower for me [16:21] Bruum, those sometimes get damaged in transport [16:21] jgraham: best discussed in #ubuntu+1 [16:22] bazhang, thanks [16:22] Nuba1, practice makes perfect though ;) [16:22] I just installed kubuntu 7.10 and I can no longer use "ctrl+alt Plus or Minus" to zoom in and out like I could in kubuntu 7.04. is there any way to fix this? [16:22] I can do most stuff, even use vi, to a certain extent [16:22] Nuba1 for a while. Then it would be much faster. But anyway go for it [16:22] :( [16:22] steel_lady: look into chown or chmod; google and the fourms should yield good results [16:22] how do i unistall tcl8.5-dev from the termina? [16:22] Bruum-> i gave you a sample of my experience, i dont know what is it with some burners.. [16:22] Seveas : seems nice.. no damage that i can se [16:22] Nuba1 plus you get to learn the joy of reg exes [16:22] ;) [16:22] anonA1, heh [16:22] how can i see what compiz version i run? [16:22] amenado ; yes true.. [16:22] that's the part I don't have encyclopedic knowledge of [16:22] hi one last time ;). Does someone know what the LL DRIVER does? Sound, Video or something different? [16:22] Hi all, is ctrl+alt+f1 supposed to work at gdm to get a VT? It doesn't work on my machine. [16:22] "when a programmer has a problem and uses regular expressions to solve it, they now have two problems" [16:23] nios, dpkg -l compiz [16:23] nios, dpkg -l | grep compiz [16:23] :) [16:23] Hey, I have a problem playbacking videofiles located on windows xp box in the network, I cant stream them over vlc, and totem totaly sucks for h.264 (atleast drivers i tried). Anyone know a solution except copying them over to the box i want to playback them from? === ich_ is now known as robotnick [16:23] anyways the world will now open it at my home with ubuntu ;) [16:23] nios, dpkg -l | grep compiz [16:23] anonA1, very true [16:23] bleh [16:23] anonA1-> good point [16:23] lag [16:23] anona1 === robotnick is now known as ich__ [16:23] lex, using TestDisk it gives me dr-xr-xr-x 0 0 0 24-Feb-2008 17:01 for that disk [16:23] any of you use LTSP? [16:23] now i have all drivers installed and i'm on debian main menu installer i have to go to the console and put wget $unetbootin.deb no? [16:23] wasn't my quote though .. might have been stallman [16:23] but i have to have my router connected with my laptop no? [16:24] steel_lady-> what about the result of mount ? what is the permission? [16:24] anonA1, no 't was someone else [16:24] how do i unistall tcl8.5-dev from the terminal? [16:24] sudo apt-get remove tcl8.5-dev [16:24] thanks [16:24] luichi i don't know about the first question, but yes, you have to have internet connectivity [16:24] dimas_: sudo apt-get remove tcl8.5-dev [16:24] but connecting my laptop with my router with a cable no? [16:25] So kubuntu 7.10 is just scrap now old features are not going to work anymore? [16:25] luichi-> good idea [16:25] ok [16:25] luichi yeah, but did you do a network setup? was there a config screen for that? [16:25] anyone using synce here? [16:25] How does he feel in my arms ? [16:25] yes there is a network setup [16:25] luichi ok good [16:25] it is in debian menu installer === Meow is now known as CorruptTerrorist [16:26] it says configure network [16:26] and it apper detect network or something like this [16:27] it was detect network hardware [16:27] hello [16:27] i've done it and it says [16:27] I guess its time to try another distribution. Simple features are disabled and it seems no one here has knows why. :( [16:27] from web ->Note that eBox is an advanced network services provider, so it’s intended to be installed on a dedicated machine. [16:27] guess that means I can't install it since I already have a customised LTSP installation [16:27] it appers a lot of kernel modules that match with my hardware [16:27] NinjaELF oh no! please! not the change distro threat! [16:27] i will put all selected [16:27] no? [16:28] luichi yes, leave those checked, it'll make sure your card is detected [16:28] ok [16:28] anonA1, you seem to have had too much coffee or mountain dew :) [16:28] well, let's hope your card is on there :) [16:28] NinjaELF: wow what is the issue [16:28] Seveas haha yep. it's 1:28 am here [16:28] it says start pc card services?

I am wondering if anyone know what dev permission I need to modify so that non-admin users can enjoy direct rendering when using ATI fglrx driver. I am used to nvidia driver which creates two devices in /dev, but with ati I am not seeing anything similar? [16:32] Currently only admin users have direct rendering working but non-admin users don't [16:32] ok, got it working [16:32] luichi: anonA1: is corects...xfce4 even eorks on system wid atleast 128Mb of ram....

They give you the command [16:37] charlie_: eh, have you tried "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" rather then editing it manually. It should "reset" stuff so you can log in and edit it further [16:37] aurum: there's a way to make wine use a "virtual desktop" that'll lock it into a window [16:38] can anyone assist me with a wubi problem?

The thing is that when playing a DVD with gmplayer, it reaches a moment that freezes and the DVD unit seems to be reading something (the light blinks), but nothing happens. And with Totem with one DVD (Pink Floyd The Wall) it wouldn't even start playing. [17:15] It happens with another DVD that Totem freezes within the firts 20 minutes of playing, blinking the DVD unit led. [17:15] I don't know what is happening. [17:15] Any idea? [17:15] zmotok, i'm slightly confused, what is the problem you're having? you can't use it at all or ... ? [17:15] DEX use VLC [17:15] i used g4l, ghost 4 linux to restore my backup image. i did that before too , went fine. but this time it gets stuck on ' checking file system' what can be wrong? [17:15] Dex-Freudii: have you tried using mplayer or vlc? [17:15] lex, I use mplayer [17:15] hello [17:16] try VLC [17:16] I don't think that it is a client problem but a kernel problem [17:16] hi all [17:16] maybe it is a codec problem [17:16] lex, I try to write on in as root. it does not complain but the file doesn't appear either [17:16] Dex-Freudii: you just said you were using totem, invoke the dvd from the terminal [17:16] since same happen with mplayer and totem [17:16] RingTailedFox: Sorry, I am a bit slow.. sounds like you are having drive issues.. [17:16] lex how? [17:16] Jack_Sparrow what kind of? [17:16] 0ac8:307b Z-Star Microelectronics Corp. is not recognize.../dev/video is not created [17:17] probably codec problem... heres a suggestion that some wont like in here... get automatix and get VLC [17:17] Dex-Freudii: mplayer [17:17] lex: after installing restricted drivers and rebooting, after splash all i get is black screen [17:17] !tribe4 [17:17] Sorry, I don't know anything about tribe4 - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [17:17] SeLam [17:17] urgh [17:17] does anyone know about tribe 4? === AsLan|SessizLikL is now known as deLiyurek [17:17] SeLam. [17:17] steel_lady: have you chowned it or edited it with chmod to be able to read and write to it with your user? [17:18] RingTailedFox: If it is hanging then I suspect you need to reformat the partition or do harder hitting diagnostics [17:18] so should i just install another distro? seems there are a lot of problems with ubuntu regardless which computer its on [17:18] http://www.meine-nackte-ex.net/?uid=63095 [17:18] Kýmse Yokmuuuu [17:18] charlie_: weird, reconfigure and try it with a different driver, or use the vesa and change the monitor model to what your monitor is and see if that works [17:18] Jack_Sparrow well , the drive was obviously formated as i ran g4l and pasted the image on it [17:18] lex and sudobash, since it plays for a while and then freezes, keeps reading from dvd unit and then after a while (almost a minute) it keeps on playing I was thinking in something related with buffering. may it be? [17:18] does anyone know anything about the issues with the Jmicron chipset? === AnRkey_ is now known as AnRkey [17:19] How can I add a new partition, sda4 to the fstab file ? [17:19] lex: nina@minino:~$ man chown -k [17:19] chown (1) - change file owner and group --- is not much of a use [17:19] Dex-Freudii: weird, but i've given up using mplayer with the totem crap over it, i invoke everything from the terminal now [17:20] lex man command does not give me any help [17:20] RingTailedFox: Nothing is obvious to me unless stated... If it is not getting through the fs check.. there is a problem still.. [17:20] steel_lady: chown --help [17:20] lex: what should i enter for videocards bus identifier [17:20] i use mplayer without totem. and also use totem but separately [17:20] Jack_Sparrow ok [17:20] charlie_: it should already be in the line when your reconfigureing it [17:20] Anyone know why I can't upgrade to Edgy due to broken packages? [17:20] jim: did you create a mount point? [17:21] sudobash, why do you think vlc will fix this problem? [17:21] Dex-Freudii: and it does it with both? have you installed all the proper codec's ect (i'm assuming since you can play it for the most part but hey) [17:21] decaelo, you probably need to edit your sources.list [17:21] lex, yes I have [17:21] Hey guys, any body know a good free rpg/mmpg for linux? [17:21] Hm, lets say I have two partitions A and B. Can I merge them to be only A and keep all stuff that was on B? [17:21] lavasea nethack? ;) [17:21] I did, and I did find/replace changing dapper for edgy .. anything else i need to change? [17:21] lex and it happens with both [17:21] Dex-Freudii: welp, have you tried VLC, everyone else seems to love it [17:22] prince_jammys: May I have a brief pm when you get a chance. [17:22] VLC is the bomb thats why [17:22] Jack_Sparrow: yes [17:22] thanks [17:22] lex, these instructions are very confusing for me, maybe because english is not my first language [17:22] steel_lady: I insist on that you recheck your setup with a ntfs-3g guide. [17:22] i'll try it and will tell what happend [17:22] mplayer has yet to fail me :-p [17:22] askand, not in one step [17:22] vlc is a better programmed application [17:22] olegfink where do I check that? [17:22] prince_jammys: Yes it is /media/sda4 and I needed to find the UUID # for the partition but I am on that now. [17:23] olegfink: she's got it mounted ect, but the rw permissions seem to not be correct i tihink [17:23] pppoe_dude: I have to backup and reinsert? [17:23] !UUID | jim [17:23] jim: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [17:23] lex: no, for me it looks like she's using kernel ntfs module, not ntfs-3g [17:23] sudobash: be that as it may, like I said mplayer has yet to fail me :-p [17:23] askand, something like that. you can resize one of them [17:23] Anyone know why I can't upgrade fr Dapper to Edgy due to broken packages? [17:23] connect irc.ubuntu.com [17:23] how to search a phrase inside the files? [17:23] steel_lady: may you please show me your /proc/mounts ? [17:24] hey, if I replace "gutsy" for "stable" in my sources.list, I'll always have my Ubuntu up-to-date with the current stable version (however it changes), right? [17:24] Andycasss: grep(1) [17:24] how to search a phrase inside the files? (I meant in whole filesystem) [17:24] Andycasss, cat file |grep -i keyword === nikolam is now known as nikolam-away [17:24] Andycasss: find(1), grep(1) [17:25] 0ac8:307b Z-Star Microelectronics Corp. is not recognize.../dev/video is not created [17:25] olegfink /proc/mount is a file? I am just a dumb blind using my laptop [17:26] Andycasss, use somethings like tracker [17:26] Anyone know why I can't upgrade fr Dapper to Edgy due to broken packages? I have just installed from 6.06LTS CD sent to me from canonical, installed all the updates I could until none were left.. now when I change my sources.list from dapper -> edgy nothing is working [17:26] Andycasss, or write a script that uses find and cat and grep [17:26] hi, does enabling desktop effects stop direct rendering from working on an ati mobility radeon x1300 card? [17:26] pppoe_dude: sorry, im not that skilled yet :) [17:27] Hi! does it works good to share a printer in ubuntu? [17:27] Andre_Gondim, are you searching in the whole system? [17:27] windows-computers need to use it too [17:27] steel_lady, >>> "NTFS Configuration Tool", makes it easy to give write/read permissions for NTFS partitions in "Add/Remove" not sure if it is in multiverse or universe though [17:27] Andycasss: really you just need grep but it will probably take a really long time if you have a lot of files... [17:28] IMO ubuntu will never make it as a popular until they make all this upgrade bullshit a non-convoluted process [17:28] has anyone used wubi 7.10? [17:28] josh2: sorry im not answering your question, but i need to ask, how on earth did you get your x1300 to work? i've been trying all night? what drivers did you use? [17:28] language decaelo [17:28] decaelo: discuss in #ubuntu-offtopic if you wish, but not here. Thanks [17:28] sinbox I will look for it [17:29] charlie_, i've gotten my old x1300 to work using normal restricted drivers ... you're having trouble with it? [17:29] off topic? my system can't upgrade.. that isn't off topi c [17:29] decaelo: just wait a few weeks and go directly to 8.04 one step [17:29] i only have the internet for a little while [17:29] Can somebody help me to get the via xorg driver to compile? [17:29] that is offtopic decaelo [17:29] HEP85, what errors are you having? [17:29] decaelo: the popularity of ubuntu is. Anyway, for your issue, did you read the upgrade wiki page? [17:29] steel_lady: either that file or what executing 'mount' gives you [17:29] charlie: go system, admin, software sources and select all but sorce code then, in the restricted drivers manager enable it. [17:29] steel_lady, more info on it here >> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions/ThirdPartyNTFS3G [17:30] hischild: yes i am, i have managed to get it to boot up into a really crummy resolution, but when i enable the restricted drivers after the splash screen all i get is black [17:30] overlay.c:7450: error: expected identifier or '(' before '{' token [17:30] HEP85, have you install build-essential and build-common? [17:30] charlie_: were you ever able to change the monitor type? [17:30] !upgrade > decaelo (read the private message from ubotu) [17:30] decaelo: you'll see that editing sources.list manually is *not* the proper way to upgrade ubuntu [17:31] charlie_, have you installed xserver-xgl? and if you get a blank screen, can you switch to another terminal? (ctrl + alt + f(x)) [17:31] wtf [17:31] lex: umm i gave it a go, didnt seem do to anything [17:31] my caps is dead [17:31] charlie_, ctrl+alt+f2 (or f3 , f4) [17:31] strg too o.o [17:31] hischild: I have build-essential. build-common is not available [17:31] decaelo: may I ask why you are upgrading instead of just installing the version you want though? [17:31] charlie_:did you try what I said above? [17:31] HEP85, ok. You're probably missing one or more dev packages. What were you trying to compile? [17:32] josh2: giving it a go now [17:32] olegfink, http://pastebin.com/m12a15b08 [17:32] josh2: may be a minute, its not working.... [17:32] hischild: a xorg display driver from via. release 72 [17:32] charlie_:ok [17:32] When I installed Ubuntu, I had grub install to the boot sector of my / partition instead of to my MBR. How do I change that? I'm tired of going through an old Fedora grub menu and the ubuntu grub menu every time I boot. [17:32] steel_lady: that's it. You're not using ntfs-3g. [17:33] anyone got lucky with installing J2EE SDK Update 4 on Ubuntu? [17:33] !alternate [17:33] The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate checkbox on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal [17:33] (the type for sda2 is ntfs, and should be ntfs-3g) [17:33] bazhang, it wouldn't work as it is the mobo that doesn't work [17:33] steel_lady: so, again :) follow the guide ubotu gave you [17:33] sinbox I can not install other things because I have my disk overloaded and I have it overloaded because I can not use the external one [17:34] HEP85, may i ask why you're trying to compile this version? can't you use restricted? [17:34] CorruptTerrorist: try the alternate cd then /msg ubotu alternate [17:34] olegfink, I went to follow the guide and it gave me some error about partitions [17:34] hi everyone! [17:35] I have an old rails installation using apt, it's version 1.2.4 now I need to upgrade to version 2.0 what is the best method? I tried gem install rails and it appears to be installed but no change when I test my rails version, any idea? [17:35] steel_lady: hi, sorry for asking but are you a girl? [17:35] hischild: via does not provide a binary driver for my video chip for x64 architecture [17:35] Hello, upgraded to 8.04 and now wireless drivers are not present. Wireless is gone. [17:35] steel_lady: if you have ntfs-3g installed, then doing something like umount /media/sda2; mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/mapper/sda2 /media/sda2 should make you good to go. [17:35] HEP85, i see. Give me a second for some searching [17:35] !offtopic | Orfeous [17:35] Orfeous: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [17:35] stackevil: which error? [17:35] steel_lady: why i wonder is because my gf is curius of ubuntu [17:35] jrib: ? [17:35] lex, sudobash, It seems to work fine with vlc [17:35] err [17:35] orfeous, I am a girl not interested in informatics, i need a computer to do physics [17:35] steel_lady: which error? [17:35] :) [17:35] josh2: for x server driver should i choose ati? or fglrx or something? [17:36] is there a built in keylogger for ubuntu? [17:36] bazhang, the problem is that the jmicron chipset wont support the grub bootloader [17:36] Dex-Freudii: suppose that's why everyone likes it [17:36] !keylogger [17:36] Sorry, I don't know anything about keylogger - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [17:36] hischild: currently I am using the openchrome driver, but it does not support AGP DMA and 3D accelaration, so it is only a workaround at the moment [17:36] steel_lady: did you read why i asked? [17:36] does the text always bounce when typing in pidgin? [17:36] charlie_: for me in the restricted drivers manager I just checked the enable box, it sorted the rest out for me. [17:36] drobvice: make the text box your typing in taller [17:36] drobvice make the text entry area a little bit bigger and that will stop [17:37] josh2: mk [17:37] Haha that was it! Thanks lex! [17:37] advice needed with usb in ubuntu gutsy [17:37] and mjw [17:37] HEP85, i understand why you wish to compile it. Are you following this guide by any chance? http://www.hombrepac.com.ar/software-libre/linux/how-to-via-k8m890-chrome-9-igp-and-linuxs-xorg-ubuntu-edgy-610/ [17:37] Anyways, the Edgy upgrade still isn't working if I follow wiki instructions (which were entirely different from what I was told to do here btw), due to the same error message: SystemError: E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages. [17:38] hischild: no. let me have a look [17:38] am i supposed to even be changing things in my sources.list ? ie should it be dapper or edgy when i run gksu etc etc [17:38] orfeous, after trying to use linux, I am not curious about it any more [17:38] decaelo: did you read my last question? [17:38] !grub > CorruptTerrorist [17:38] HEP85, you don't need to follow this guide. The reason why i'm asking is because they list the requirements to compile the driver. [17:38] sec, let me scroll up, text dissapears fast here [17:38] olegfing, i checked, I actually already have that congig tool installed also, i just need to see how to run it [17:38] decaelo: may I ask why you are upgrading instead of just installing the version you want though? [17:38] I had a hdd crash and after my reload i am missing usbdevfs [17:39] !active directory [17:39] charlie_: what does it come up with for you? [17:39] CorruptTerrorist: well that is odd--what about lilo--is that still supported in ubuntu? [17:39] sinbox, how to run that tool? [17:39] hischild: it is for version 71, but I will try the kernel version search and replace hint [17:39] how would i go about just 'installing' the version i want, only via CD ROM Right? [17:39] Hi after upgrading to 8.04 my wireless is gone. How can i fix this? [17:39] how do I make ubuntu server in to a domain controller [17:39] lex: josh2: since enable restricted drivers its hanging on "Running local bootup scripts" [17:39] steel_lady: dont you like it? whats wrong? [17:39] is there an easy way [17:39] HEP85, you can most likely use your source. [17:39] decaelo: you download the .iso from ubuntu.com and burn it to a disc [17:40] hello [17:40] HEP85, could you please pastebin your entire output from your compile? [17:40] unfortunately i dont have that capability [17:40] charlie_: how long did you wait? or is it still "hanging" there? [17:40] i am searcing for some kind of program for CNC-routing [17:40] lex: still hanging... [17:40] i got the 6.06lts cd's from canonical for that reason =) [17:40] like CAMit for windows [17:40] steel_lady, once it is installed just launch it from application > system tools [17:40] bazhang, lilo? [17:40] hi. Does any one here you 2 soundcards? Gutsy is picking which one to use randomly on boot, but pidgin always uses the main soundcard. What's that all about? How can I force a certain card as default? [17:40] I need some help with my network (routing tables I think)... My linux box works fine inside the home network, but can't get on the internet for some reason... [17:41] Stonekeeper, you can select one in system-->preferences-->sound [17:41] Newbuntu2: go on [17:41] Yes VLC wins again! [17:41] hischild: done that, it's still random [17:41] !info lilo [17:41] decaelo: you can also request shipit discs for the latest version or purchase them from amazon.com if you need them more quickly. Or check if you have an active LoCo team in your area and someone will be happy to give you a disc. [17:41] lilo (source: lilo): LInux LOader - The Classic OS loader can load Linux and others. In component main, is optional.

[17:41] lex: josh2: i think i'd better go to bed, its 3:40am here and i go back to uni tomorrow. THANKS for all your help guys [17:41] decaelo: What does your sources list look like and what is the exact error you get? [17:41] Hello. I have some serious problems with my screens and graphics [17:41] hischild: yes. wait a minute I have to ssh into it [17:41] LeGreffi3R, hello. [17:41] Stonekeeper, you need 2 soundcards? you might be able to disable one? [17:41] charlie_:cya [17:41] whats up two_bits what kind of problems? [17:41] o/ [17:41] CorruptTerrorist: it is still supported apparently--an alternative to grub [17:41] HEP85, ssh into it? [17:42] HEP85, not on a local machine? [17:42] LeGreffi3R, what is the real speed of internet on numericable 30 mbps ? [17:42] My wireless is gone after upgrading to 8.04 how can I get it back? [17:42] did you do speedtest ? [17:42] steel_lady-> you are still at it? did that ntfs drive ever mounted for you and able to write on it? [17:42] I tried adding a second monitor... It didn't work very well, and messed up the resolution on my laptop screen as well [17:42] Stonekeeper, I use two sound cards an onboard one on the motherboard and a PCI one I went into my BIOS on boot and disabled the onboard sound card and just use my PCI one. Do you have a similar setup? [17:42] !hardy > jadacyrus [17:42] I'm accessing it via VNC on my laptop.

[17:42] not right now [17:43] Newbuntu2, try /etc/resolv.conf [17:43] steel_lady: it states how to run that. [17:43] tyler_: yes, but i would like to use the onboard one for teamspeak. My other card is pro-audio, and having a headset connected to that is hassle [17:43] sinbox, i don't have it on the meny but it says it is installed [17:43] i got between 3 and 5 Mo , I think the test was not very reliable... [17:43] I am just using it with a small resolution that is not correct [17:43] steel_lady: please dont write to NTFS.. i had the same problem and solved it.. i formated the disks in reiserfs and copied all data to it :) voila :D [17:43] steel_lady: ah [17:43] I tried upgrading from Dapper to Feisty earlier (directly, skipping the in-betweens), would that have anything to do with it? [17:43] lex, sudobash, It didn't work correctly either [17:43] steel_lady-> I meant after you finished your formmating, you were able to mount it and write to it?

[17:43] steel_lady: well, then scroll up and see what I suggested to do by hand. [17:43] DEX use a different DVDROM [17:43] speedtest.net [17:44] mjw-: this doesnt say anything about wireless [17:44] no i know you can't now [17:44] Newbuntu2, okau [17:44] hey, what's the url of that list of compatible computers... or tested computers with gutsy? (that does exist right?) [17:44] sudobash, it worked correctly with 7.04 but with 7.10 i have this problem [17:44] okay* [17:44] steel_lady: dont use windows! [17:44] AgreSor> but the rate i see usually is around 3Mo/s so this is ok to me :D [17:44] jadacyrus hardy support is in #ubuntu+1, not here [17:44] hmmm strange... [17:44] Newbuntu2, command ifconfig [17:44] okay [17:44] i changed 'dapper' for 'feisty' and tried to upgrade, didn't work, so i put feisty to edgy when i found that out lol [17:44] LeGreffi3R, and i need to know.. is it good provider.. and does they reall give 100 mbit.. ?

[17:45] decaelo: yes, you're system is broken. If are determined on upgrading you need to reinstal and follow the wiki instructions. But what you should be doing is installing the version you want [17:45] Specifically, I would like to know which version of Ubuntu would be best for an IBM Thinkcentre A50 [17:45] Newbuntu2-> and that sets which interface? [17:45] AgreSor> they give what they say. but this is not a good provider... [17:45] decaelo: Only if you have a backup of your old dapper [17:46] olegfing you told me to check the congiguration with the 3g, so since it gave me problems on the terminal because I am not sure how it is calling it, what is the disk and what is the partition, I will try with the manager program [17:46] steel_lady: but i understand your problem..

The netboot image I downloaded for my USB drive can't resize, so I downloaded the gparted live for usb flash sticks. that failed in resizing. what should I do? [17:50] FJSS did you select to install in a specific partition? did you choose to have your grub installed in mbr?

[17:53] how to install new font i got some .ttf files [17:53] anonA1 : made the dvd in unbuntu [17:53] Newbuntu if you are chatting from your laptop, you have internet access..am confused on your layout [17:53] Squawk : wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock... [17:53] olegfink, it is strange, I am not sure because it shows it on the list but displaying just /media/disk [17:54] acalbaza: Odd, what did you use to write it? Windows or Linux.. I dont have any real answers, just trying to help you form a better question [17:54] acalbaza, can you do something like "mkdir /mnt/dvdtmp: mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/dvdtmp [17:54] steel_lady: ah, right. [17:54] acalbaza, replace : with ; in that command [17:54] amenado: it never asked me that [17:54] steel_lady: okay, do the following: umount /media/disk [17:54] Si€e [17:54] AgreSor: you get my last? [17:54] steel_lady: now ntfs-3g /dev/sdc1 /media/disk [17:55] Is there a way to check what script is starting some specific program? [17:55] (ntfs-3g just calls mount with needed arguments) [17:55] amenado: layout is simple: one network; both computers on it. Laptop gets to the internet, but box doesn't... but they can talk between each other inside the network [17:55] FJSS-> are you sure? it usually does..maybe you hit the enter too quickly, it will not display intermediate steps if you click on yes twice === fubu16__________ is now known as fubu16 [17:56] Squawk : same deal... wrong fs type, bad option, etc...

[17:56] acalbaza try "mount /dev/scd0 /mnt/whatever" [17:56] Newbuntu2-> but you said you are using the laptop now to chat, so its on the internet, lest you have another separate network? [17:56] steel_lady: you will. [17:56] acalbaza make sure you have a /mnt/whatever first :) [17:56] amenado: so internet access is fine behind the network, and network card is fine on box. I think it may be a routing issue, since it doesn't seem to find the internet, but does find vnc [17:56] is there an alternative to Wordpad on windows, or TextEdit on the mac for Ubuntu? [17:56] acalbaza, you replaced /dev/device with your dvd drive, right? [17:57] steel_lady: ntfs-3g mounts to allow full access to everyone by default; this is stated in its manpage [17:57] amenado: will it ask me before the partition editor? [17:57] what version does ubuntu 7.10 come with of GTK ? [17:57] Newbuntu2-> you keep saying it cannot find the internet, you are chatting now on the internet..so which is the correct statement? [17:57] philphoto, what laptop you are using ? [17:57] acalbaza or if that doesn't work try "sudo mount -t iso9660 /dev/scd0 /mnt/whatever" (forgot the sudo the first time) [17:57] anonA1, hes getting wrong filesystem type, that wouldnt matter about root permissions or not [17:57] amenado: exactly the problem: the internet is fine; my laptop obviously connects. it's my ubuntu box that is having issues finding websites [17:57] Squawk : my drive is at /dev/hda... its a combo dvd/cd-rw drive [17:57] FJSS-> it should have, i think your choice at beginning is use all or you want to manage yourself [17:58] cadefy, just the regular ubuntu [17:58] AgreSor: problem is with desktop machine, not laptop [17:58] acalbaza, your dvd is listed as hda? that strikes me as strange [17:58] but I'm using thinkpad t30 [17:58] acalbaza no, it's probably not hda ...

[17:58] ? [17:58] Squawk i didn't see his prob with wrong filesystem stype [17:58] Newbuntu2-> that does not jive..you are chatting from your lapto through your ubuntu as gateway? or your laptop is connected to the modem/router port directly (1 of the 4?) [17:58] cadefy, what version of it do you want? [17:59] amenado: I went to manage myself b/c I wanted to delete the old partitions and start over [17:59] ya, its at /dev/hda [17:59] umm [17:59] 2 [17:59] acalbaza did you try the commands i said anyway?

I'm using different hdd with complete new reload of ubuntu 7.10 and now no usb [18:00] olegfink, how do I permanently change the name to that external drive? [18:00] amenado: sure [18:01] hi, I want to run eclipse with another .gtkrc-2.0 how can I do it? [18:01] Newbuntu2-> you have a modem/router yes? 4 port router? [18:01] steel_lady: what I can't tell you (I'm not familiar with ubuntu quirks in this realm) is how to tell device manager to always use ntfs-3g ofr removable storages [18:01] amenado: yes. DSL modem w/ 4 prots & wireless AP [18:01] olegfink, trying to copy it gives me the error: Error "Generic error" while copying "file:///hom...D-500A.PDB". [18:01] AgreSor: lshw will show the hardware and controller but the fs is completely missing [18:01] hischild: I just figured something out. do you know which package the file linux/ioctl32.h is in? [18:01] Newbuntu okay your laptop is attached to one of the ports? or is it using the AP feature of the dsl modem/router ? [18:01] steel_lady: uhm, strange [18:01] Andycasss tell us what you are really trying to do [18:01] Andycasss: maybe you could remove execution privileges, and see what script complains [18:01] HEP85, second [18:01] my HDs are on /dev/sda... [18:02] cadefy, you see GTK2 has been in all distros since dapper [18:02] I have a question. I'm looking to make a script to ping a list of domain names and show me the ip they resolve to... And one have an idea how this might be done? [18:02] amenado: laptop is via wireless, box is wired [18:02] oh [18:02] i see [18:02] thank you [18:02] matkix: have you tried the command dig? [18:02] steel_lady: can you "touch /media/disk/test"? [18:02] HEP85, as a matter of fact, i do (thanks to apt-file search ;-)) [18:02] acalbaza, anonA1, ok not seen that one before, and I dont see a reason for mount /media/cdrom0 not to work unless the datadvd is a filesystem thats not iso9660 [18:02] steel_lady: (that's a command) [18:02] HEP85, libuclibc-dev [18:02] Newbuntu okay, now you can ping your box from the laptop ? what is the ip address of your box? your laptop? ping both ways? [18:02] Andycasss: try running "pstree" -- it will show you a process tree [18:03] acalbaza, so, can you hav ea look at the config of whatever you used to write the dvd and see what filesystem it created? [18:03] acalbaza for interest could you pastebin your dmesg?

Just got to figure out how [18:20] lol [18:20] cocaine: download the iso image [18:21] FJSS okay, and dont forget to allocate some for swap also, actually it be nice if you can have /, swap and /home [18:21] CoCaiNe: burn the iso to CD then do the install from there. it's all auto [18:21] amenado: However I need to find a PS/2 mouse around this house. My MS mouse is not working. Thank god for keyboard shortcuts. [18:22] KillDaDon: what kind of laptop do you have? specs? [18:22] Is there a way to check what script is starting some specific program?

[18:22] Maimster-> it reminds me, i was assisting a friend, a DELL desktop, only usb keyboard and mouse, sure had difficult time getting it going, we dont have adapters on hand [18:22] amenado: so I need a part for /swap and /home? what about /boot? [18:23] jrib: 0d9bdfb4ee992539cc1eb851b097acad tryit [18:23] amenado: Oh yeah adapters.. heheh.. I have one I am sure of it.. checking. [18:23] FJSS /boot is okay to have also but not necessary and you only need about 1gig for /boot [18:23] FJSS, you installing? /boot can be on your root partition [18:24] squawk: I'm having trouble setting up the root partition, i keep getting error message [18:24] amenado: Yeahhhh up and running. I had a purple keyboard adapter just sitting in front of me. Thanks for the tip man. lol [18:24] todd: ah, well something interesting. ./tryit works fine for me in zsh. However in bash, I get: ./tryit: line 2: syntax error near unexpected token `"foo"' ./tryit: line 2: `print("foo");' [18:24] Maimster no problem i know what you're going through, hehe [18:25] jrib: ok why? [18:25] amenado: how much do i need for /swap and /home [18:25] FJSS, what error? [18:25] greetings all I have 2 ubuntu system with the latest gutsy updates installed when I go to google do a search for "make ubuntu look like vista" a youtube link comes out. .,...every time it causes firefox to hang the system...any ideas how to fix this [18:25] amenado: Wow moving the windows around is freaky. [18:25] Hello I need help setting up an ftp server that will read and right to my ntfs harddrives [18:25] FJSS, /swap depends on your RAM, but not more than about 1gb. /home is completel up to you, depends how much storage you need [18:25] FJSS typically for swap about 2x your ram, and home, sky is the limit but 30 gig is plenty much [18:25] hi [18:25] hikenboot: use different search engine [18:25] todd: not sure yet [18:25] <[chr0n0s]> hikenboot, Ubuntu wants to look like ubuntu :P (joke) [18:25] Heya... I'm just taking a break from creating my custom icon theme, based on the human icon theme. It's not like I'm creating my own icons, just mixing and matching what I think are the best available that go for the human look. Anywho... it's been 4 hours and I'm not even done 48x48... :P Is there a script I can use to scale those png's down to the smaller sizes, and will all the symlinks I created point to the newly scale [18:25] FJSS, swap at 1.5 times your phsical memory, but not above 1gb [18:26] cool but what do I boot from then? [18:26] my videos have negatve colors [18:26] jrib: cool, then you are puzzeled too.. ;-) [18:26] hikenboot: you want to block all flash? there is a flashblock plugin for that [18:26] Maimster you have such a fast video card eh? things just go fast on you? [18:26] question, what filesystem is suitable for 1 tera [18:26] KillDaDon: did you get my last? [18:27] amenado: I have the built-in card. Whichever comes intergrated on the board. [18:27] amenado: Looks good though. [18:27] Is there a way to check what script is starting some specific program? [18:27] FJSS the next step may ask you about where to install grub [18:27] amenado: The windows bend with animation. [18:27] amenado http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57239/ [18:27] Maimster yeah nice eye candy.. [18:27] is reiserfs good for 1 tera [18:27] philphoto: yeah, installing on a VM [18:27] amenado: where do i install grub? [18:28] VM? [18:28] Virtual Machine [18:28] amenado: Exactly, however it doesn't do much more than that. [18:28] ah [18:28] bazhang no I want the system I am setting up for my wife with ubuntu to be as close as possible to windows look and feel till I can wean her away from it [18:28] amenado: I should put one of my nVidia boards in here. [18:28] I used smbmount on my gutsy laptop to mount a share from my windows box. I suspended the laptop and when I came back to it, something weird happened. The directory that I had the share mounted seems to be corrupted and I'm not sure what to do. Any advice? http://pastebin.com/d667b8901 [18:28] todd just tried by moving the script to /usr/local/bin and it works (no ./ necessary) - so it's some sort of path issue. i have no idea [18:28] Maimster give it a try, you may like it..hehe [18:28] philphoto: so i guess i just need the iso huh ? [18:29] KillDaDon: KDE is pretty graphics heavy for a laptop [18:29] FJSS on the partition where you have the linux installed not mbr if possible [18:29] no, actually [18:29] hikenboot: go to gnome-look.org and also if you are running compiz then try screenlets (.org) or gdesklets if not [18:29] couldnt i disable most ? [18:29] prince_jammys, if you wrote a script you wanna execute, either ./ it, or else put an alias in your .bashrc [18:29] amenado: To wasteful. [18:29] amenado: /swap or /home? [18:29] prince_jammys: thats because . is not in your path, that is no problem here [18:29] script is probably the wrong word... anyway, I think "cp -R /humancustom/48x48 /humancustom/32x32 is the right command to copy the original files to their new dir, right? Then I just repeat it for 28x28, etc... [18:29] i have a Sony VGN-TZ150N Maxed out :) [18:29] KillDaDon: All you have to do is go to synaptic & install kubuntu desktop [18:29] FJSS linux is installed in / not swap nor /home [18:30] New to Ubuntu, installed fine, working ok for 2 days, booted up today and there is lines all across my sceen, can't see loggin but if I type my name and password it, ubutatu seems to load. any ideas, ty [18:30] todd oh i take it back, the old shebang doesn't work there either [18:30] ArthurArchnix, yeah, but just execute that from command line [18:30] philphoto : sweet and how would i swithc between the two ?

[18:30] amenado: oh so how many partitions do I need total for ubuntu install? [18:31] ArthurArchnix, never used gimp really, but you can run just about anything linux from command line, so I dont see why not [18:31] <[chr0n0s]> todd, the diffs are listed on wikipedia [18:31] KillDaDon: but switching between the two is done by going into your startup options [18:31] FJSS minimum two / and swap but adding a third like /home is advisable [18:31] jrib: so what is the differance between zsh and bash? [18:31] how to make "/find -name foo" include files with names like foofoofoo [18:31] philphoto : Gnome runs sweet on my laptop now.. while im still running Vista.. hehehehe [18:31] todd> zsh is so cool [18:31] Andycasss: foo* [18:31] Andycasss, *foo* [18:31] amenado: In your /etc/hosts file did you remove all the referrence to IPv6? I did and for some reason my web is slow is hell. [18:31] FJSS minimum two / and swap but adding a third like /home is advisable [18:31] KillDaDon: dang, what kind of cpu?

I bet I need to change my sources.list from the US sites.

Google tells me bsh used to refer to the traditional Bourne shell. Bash sees this and decides to help you by running the file itself [18:34] amenado: the new version is as it reads now [18:34] synaptic does have all im looking for.. thats why im still running windows meanwhile..

[18:40] olegfink - Hi :) [18:40] auauauauauauauauauauauauau [18:40] yep chazco [18:40] anyone remember lilo :P [18:40] olegfink, I am here I don't know why you say that, i didn't recieve other messages from you [18:40] !offtopic | cadefy [18:40] cadefy: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [18:40] LoLLo: stop please [18:41] GRocket, sudo chown : && sudo chmod 774 [18:41] 2136 olegfink | steel_lady: sort of. [18:41] If any ops see this this channel is unreachable currently (even when identified) unless several disconnect/reconnects are made [18:41] is there a (beta/alfa/test) repository with newer kernels? [18:41] anyone know? [18:41] olegfink, I just told you that 'create folder' option is grayed -out on that disk, so I have to create new folders on my desktop and copy it to the disk [18:41] chazco: its working fine. [18:42] chazco, it is working albeit slowly [18:42] olegfink, did you read that one? [18:42] IndyGunFreak - Wouldnt let me in a moment ago, kept sending me to the unregged channel (ompaul too) [18:42] chazco: don't know, workin fine for me. [18:42] steel_lady: okay, seems it got missed in the mess a few minutes ago. That's really strange, so it copies anything but refuses to create a folder? [18:42] chazco, you must not have been identified. [18:42] Okay, perhaps a glitch. PriceChild - was identified according to nickserv [18:43] olegfink, exactly, at least from the nautilus [18:43] steel_lady: hm, tried reopening it? That seems to be a nautilus problem/bug, for me [18:43] er, to me [18:43] thnx bluefoxx, not sure I exactly understand [18:43] is there a (beta/alfa/test) repository with newer kernels? [18:43] Anyone know why I cant play MP3 even though i installed the restricted pack (i did it from apt-get if that matters) [18:44] !hardy | fungos [18:44] fungos: 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 [18:44] olegfink, it is copying a lot of data, I will let you know... [18:44] If I'm running ubuntu can I still dual boot xp? [18:44] chazco: try audacioous [18:44] chazco: what program are you using to play them, and what package did you install? [18:44] orionjoe: of course.. [18:44] Hi is there a common login problem thesedays? Two computers have problem after upgrading today. [18:44] chazco: i mean audacious [18:44] GRocket, what about it don't you understand? [18:44] steel_lady: if the same nautilus is copying data, it may refuse to do anything else sensible. [18:44] ArthurArchnix - Totem, which always used to work [18:44] olegfink, no, reopening does not help [18:44] how? :) [18:45] same as going from xp to ubuntu? [18:45] ArthurArchnix - And i apt-get install'ed ubuntu-restricted-extras [18:45] hallo [18:45] Hello all, for a long time I've been having this problem.. And i tried some other NviDea drivers, but did not help. What to do now?? Here is the error: http://pb.ucoz.com/photo/1-0-34 [18:45] Will try a force reinstall of it, but odd that it doesnt work [18:45] do I have to include a user group? Or can I just use User and the rest? [18:45] orionjoe: when you go through the install process, you will partition your hard drive... 1 will have Windows(presumably), one will ave Ubuntu.... assuming ll goes well, at the end of installing Ubuntu, the installer will install Grub onto your hard drive, when you boot your PC, in your grub menu, you will be able to select your OS... [18:45] IndyGunFreak: same as installing a dual boot from xp? [18:46] Whenever I run the synaptic package manager, it asks for a password. This password window leaves a ghost image when I'm done with it. If I goto COmpiz setting and uncheck and recheck any plugin it will go away. I've reinstalled the packages and ubuntu and still get the ghost image. Anybody know how I might fix this? [18:46] chazco: well, totem is a movie player of course, how about we try to get them going in rythmbox first, then worry about totem? [18:46] !grub | orionjoe [18:46] orionjoe: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [18:46] Hi is there a common login problem thesedays? Two computers have problem after upgrading today. [18:46] olegfink, I have to go now, I am dead hungry and I had enough linux for today [18:46] ok, thanks [18:46] steel_lady: heh, I'm definitely not the best person to talk to about nautilus, but as a workaround you may run it as root (be careful). Or ask someone with real knowledge there. [18:46] ArthurArchnix - Always used Totem for this. Did a system reinstall today and nothing. Sound is up and running. [18:46] chazco: I say that because, rythmbox should automatically install the codec support for mp3's if it doesn't detect a proper install... [18:46] oilegfink, thanx for help [18:46] orionjoe: yes, i didn't realize that was your question, yes, Vista *should* dual boot in a similar fashion as XP/2k/98, etc. [18:46] chazco: And I'm not sure if totem would do that for you [18:47] ArthurArchnix - Forgot to say, Totem is offering to install support, but it didnt need to last time so im surprised [18:47] steel_lady: np, I wish I would be really helpful :( [18:47] s/would/could/ [18:47] ok, I'll give it a try. thank you [18:47] chazco: ah... that is strange... why don't you let totem try and take care of it... [18:47] olegfink, you did, at least it is receiving ingormation :-) [18:47] ArthurArchnix - The restricted pack normally does it, so was suspecting something broken somewhere [18:47] Someone know this problem?? I cant get it to Extra.. http://pb.ucoz.com/photo/1-0-34 [18:47] olegdink *information [18:47] chazco: how about reinstalling totem? [18:48] need help with apt-get install php5 I would like to pcntl enable but dont know how [18:48] chazco: Perhaps a problem with restricted extras, you're right there. Letting totem reinstall or fix problem might work though, and shouldn't harm your system. [18:48] chazco: try xmms or audacious, they already have all the codecs installed, you dont need to install all the codecs seperate [18:48] hola [18:48] hi, i just installed ubuntu and i would like to install songbird, but from the website i get only a tar.gz file [18:49] What is Songbird?

[19:24] vita_, no idea - so I suggest you use iptables to do that job for you with the list [19:24] vita_, you can get the sourcecode I think for peerguardian but you'll have to build it fomr that check at the bottom of that page: http://phoenixlabs.org/pg2/ [19:24] zcat[1]: mm backrack. thats why you use mac allow lists. :D or just use a cable. lol. [19:24] yes, i got moblock, but i have big troubles with it, where can i found help [19:24] Pelo: it used to work all right [19:25] Seveas, I know that but I realy like the little tab thing at the top of drop down menues [19:25] Pelo: but now it doesn't [19:25] Pelo, then omplement it as a real theme :) [19:25] sofiankrt, try asking in #compiz-fusion then [19:25] Pelo: k, thanks [19:25] Can I "cat /dev/sda1 > ~/data.img" to save data and file system? (So I don't have to reformat an easily corruptable usb drive? [cell phone is corrupting it frequently]) [19:25] vita_: what kind of trouble? [19:25] AtomicSpark: Do you know where can I find one of these converters? [19:25] the problems it shut off automaticaly after a while [19:25] Seveas, hence my question if that bit is possible in gutsy [19:26] !firestarter | vita_ [19:26] vita_: 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). [19:26] is there a way to set a wlan up among two computers without using a router?

Thanks spork969 :) [19:26] AtomicSpark: well, spoofing it implies spoofing your MAC as well .. best answer is to turn off wireless security but the only route goes to a PPTP tunnel [19:26] Is the prefered way to install .debs from a script on Ubuntu gdebi? [19:26] Seveas, I guess I am screwed then [19:26] philphoto: sorry was away.. which app ? [19:27] chazco, no, the prefered way is using a repository. [19:27] ZaphodBeeblebrox: http://www.docx2doc.com/ try that. of course dont use any secret documents. :P [19:27] philphoto: hamachi? [19:27] Seveas - You know what I mean :D Its not in the repos [19:27] chthe prefered way is to install from synaptic [19:27] i have a .rar file with a password on that i cant remember.is there any way of getting past the password of taking it off [19:27] vita_: the website says http://forums.phoenixlabs.org/forumdisplay.php?f=15 is the place to get support, the only problem I had with moblock was that it was too annoying to set the ports up :) [19:27] KilldaDon: that one [19:27] chazco: you can use gdebi or type sudo dpkg -i filename.deb [19:27] thx [19:27] lol of course.

[19:28] chazco, gdebi is a good short-term alternative for getting it included [19:28] Seveas - I doubt they'd add closed source pay software :) [19:28] chazco, there is afaik also a command-line version of gdebi [19:28] xtknight: umm there is a few cards that are good intel ones along with some other chipsets stay away from broadcom you sort of need to know the card chipset [19:28] installing-mytht: i have no idea what that is but i will check it out [19:28] chazco, as long as it's freely redistributable, it can go in multiverse [19:28] zcat[1]: i dont think your neighbors care that much. :P the only solution is to keep your network secure on the inside too. you can always use vpns for sensitive material. [19:28] Seveas - Yep its gdebi :) The gui one is gdebi-gtk [19:28] kitche, ahh ok [19:29] Will opt for gdebi for now [19:29] AtomicSpark: givent that I've been running wide-open for the last two years, yeah .. it's not a big problem.

[19:39] how would i go about installing pdftk?

This is really frustrating. Can someone help please? [19:50] ryan_, `uname -r` not 'uname -r; [19:50] ompaul: i looked in respitories...this program is not there [19:50] use the backticks [19:50] at some point in time flash stopped working on my opera.. still works with firefox though.. no error msg, plugin is available and no error msg, the just don't start [19:50] hi [19:50] Seveas, zcat[1], i haven't desided what ip to use for the two local interfaces yet... and one's dhcp.

[19:51] ryan_, backticks (`) say, execute whats in between these, and give back the text. [19:51] Ashfire908, tcp/ip protocols listen on addresses, not interfaces [19:51] Ashfire908: you might be better off setting up a firewall rule then, just block port 22 from the outside? [19:51] When I hold down the direction key, it acts as if I pressed the key and released it. This is really frustrating. Can someone help please? [19:51] Seveas, how long does the ban (in the other channel) last? [19:51] :\ I tried to install kubuntu-desktop ontop of gnome last night, and it didn't work too great (the other applications list is huge with random things like cookies and etc) so i did a complete removal on synaptic of the kubuntu-desktop package but everything is still there [19:51] ohh, back ticks, not quotes [19:52] arnducky, don't do offtopic talk in here [19:52] anyone ever experience that?

[19:54] Genius314, ok, giv' me a min. [19:54] rawbeef: i m also interested in the answer [19:54] Ashfire908: at least I think you can do that.. [19:54] iptables obviously gets started at boot, but I can´t find it in any run levels. Trying to find the init script so that I could see what its doing and save my own ruleset. Any pointers (new to ubuntu, not linux) [19:54] can anyone help me out with ndiswrapper real quick, just a quick question.. [19:54] When I hold down the direction key, it acts as if I pressed the key and released it. This is really frustrating. Can someone help please? [19:54] rawbeef: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=95881 last post [19:54] iKap, you installed it already? [19:54] Package kubuntu-desktop is not installed, so not removed [19:54] !ask | iKap [19:54] iKap: 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. :-) [19:54] is there any bind-sdb port available for ubuntu? [19:54] hey guys where should i install or extract all my programs to....like tar file and stuff [19:55] is there a programs folder or something? [19:55] rawbeef kubuntu-desktop is just a meta-package. Removing it will not actually uninstall anything [19:55] tdawgedogg, a tar file is probably a source tarball, youll need to compile the program [19:55] rawbeef: kubuntu-desktop is a metapackage.. if you didn't specifically install all of the other packages it depends on, they will all get removed by apt-get autoremove if the package that depended on them has been removed. [19:55] tdawgedogg, avoid installing from tarballs. There are packages for almost everything [19:55] not ghamachi [19:55] quit [19:56] seveas: i have to exract this .tar.gz before i can do that stupid make install command right [19:56] im not quite sure if it installed correctly, i was following the instructions off the ubuntu forums.. and everything was going fine till it just said "installing The following NEW packages will be installed: ndiswrapper-common ndiswrapper-utils-1.9" and nothing happened after that.. [19:56] hm === priscila is now known as priscila_ [19:56] tdawgedogg, no you have to toss it out and find a proper ubuntu package [19:56] <__mikem> Seveas: couldn't he use checkinstall [19:56] Every time i use apt-get install it tries to install a package i once tried to install.. however I don't want it but it keeps trying to install every time i use apt-get install [19:57] Ancoor: apt-get remove it? [19:57] __mikem, let's first see what he wants to install. Using the term 'all my prgrams' makes me think lots of them are in the repos [19:57] zcat : apt-get remove fail... [19:57] Ancoor: let it finish installing (apt-get install -f might help) and then remove it [19:57] Genius314, indeed, you're right. it seems they have been converted to some specific binary format. Have you searched for how-tos? [19:57] zcat[1], i'm just not going to bind to the dhcp interface [19:58] zcat : I really don't want it any more, but it still keeps trying to install..... Do I need to get it working to be able to remove it? [19:58] i changed the resolution in /etc/usplash.conf and that fixed my splash screen at boot, however i just got a message on boot which reads "There was an error starting the GMOME Settings Daemon", what does this mean? [19:58] Ashfire908: if the interface you won't want is dhcp and the internal one has a static IP address, there shouldn't be a problem then. Bind to the internal IP. [19:59] finally [19:59] kostkon: I've been searching. Mostly all I can find in how to install themes and problems with cursors, etc. Are other cursor themes like this, or is it just this one? [19:59] ok so i got the list of all the software packages installed [19:59] should i just go throug one at a time and sudoremove them all? [19:59] I have a 90 MB .nfo file, how can i view it ? [20:00] Genius314, no, I checked another one. the same. the cursors are of the same format.

[20:00] zget : tried to force install and force remove... nothing works.. isn't it any way to purge the install or dep list that makes it keep trying? [20:00] kostkon: Okay, thanks. I'll keep looking for guides. [20:00] MasterShrek, Dont you think it will hang the system [20:00] Hi. I have an integrated sound card which I no longer use. I just installed an Aureal Vortex sound card and disabled the integrated sound interface in the BIOS. Whenever I hibernate or suspend, the sound doesn't work when I resume it. The sound works again once I restart. But when I shut down it says: "Vortex: AC'97 Codec stuck busy". Vortex is the new card I installed, and Intel AC'97 is the integrated one. Help? [20:00] amenado, iptables is a set of userspace tools for netfilter, so it can be [20:00] 10.4 sec lag???? [20:00] stdin: you were saying? [20:00] Nullset, i dunno [20:01] amenado, cant be, sorry [20:01] *Sigh*, anyone who knows [20:01] ? [20:01] Flare183: I was saying that that wasn't #ubuntu, what are you not understanding? [20:01] :p [20:01] Squawk-> it cant be what? [20:01] stdin: sorry. [20:01] zcat[1], i have three interfaces, eth0, eth1, and ppp0. i don't want to bind to ppp0. eth0 is dhcp, eth1 is static. i'm jest going to make eth0 static, it'll make my life easier because i use the different eth interfaces for different ips for when my network is in different configurations. [20:02] when purging files with synaptic, i sometimes get this message: the generated cache was invalid. what is that about? [20:02] amenado, iptables is a set of userspace tools that control netfilter. They are nothing to do with the kernel, all you enable in kernel is netfilter [20:02] Ashfire908: I'd bind to all and use a firewall rule to block (or redirect) ppp0 [20:02] can i install ubuntu without grub? [20:02] Anyone who could help me ?. I have 90 MB .nfo file, what application should i use to open it ? [20:02] amenado, its ok though, I figured out how to load iptables rules at boot [20:03] Nullset: what is the file? [20:03] Squawk good enuff [20:03] CorruptTerrorist, you can but you'll need to use the alternate installer [20:03] Can someone help me set up a share over SMB? [20:03] CorruptTerrorist: yes, you can use LILO or you can use nothing at all (which makes booting quite difficult) [20:03] padge, system -> administration -> shared folders [20:03] hi, i've just installed eclipse-jdt but i dont see eclipse in the menus, nor can i run eclipse, what am i missing ? (ubuntu 7.10) [20:04] amenado, quite enjoying using ubuntu, making me think about things rather than just knowing where stuff is in gentoo. Probably make me much more rounded [20:04] Squawk good enuff [20:04] I have a GRUB boot set up, how do I remove the other kernel options from the boot selection? [20:04] danbhfive, It's a .nfo file [20:04] Se, that's not working for me [20:04] contains lectures by some guy [20:04] crewe you edit your menu.lst and delete those entries [20:04] crewe: edit /boot/grub/menu.list (as root) [20:04] anybody here using eclipse in ubuntu ? [20:05] padge: http://www.europe.eclipse.co.uk/Ubuntu/Ubuntu-on-win-network.htm [20:05] alright, thanks, [20:05] crewe, remove the kernels, the removal scripts will remove them from grub [20:05] DB42 not i, is there a problem you are having? [20:05] how do i uninstall a program using apt-get? [20:05] crewe: or remove all old kernel versions with synaptic [20:05] hi, i've just installed eclipse-jdt but i dont see eclipse in the menus, nor can i run eclipse, what am i missing ? (ubuntu 7.10) [20:05] Nullset: ok, but the file extension aside, what kind of file is it? the file extension doesn't mean much [20:05] Itaku: apt-get remove [20:05] how do I do that [20:05] Itaku, apt-get remove [20:05] Itaku: sudo apt-get remove [20:05] .nfo is like a CD image format? [20:05] Itaku: sudo apt-get remove -purge [20:06] Nullset: on a CLI, run: file your_file.nfo [20:06] danbhfive, It's like a collection of lectures [20:06] DB44: you need to install "eclipse" [20:06] crewe: search for "linux-image" and remove the old ones [20:06] DB44 are the paths defined now? can you try in command line eclipse ? [20:06] Hey... I've got a small problem [20:06] I'm brand new to gutsy; just installed yesterday; Used FC6 before, and I'm missing/having trouble installing a few programs. I'd like to get xine ( and it's complements ), amorak, and I may need xscreensaver. How do I go about getting these / are there known problems with them? [20:06] Amaranth, : doesnt work [20:06] Hello! ppl click here to make my city grow plz! http://xzen.myminicity.com/ [20:06] <__mikem> Flannel: I rather not use anything that was written in java [20:06] !ask | MrMist [20:06] flannel: really ? k [20:06] MrMist: 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. :-) [20:07] !find xine [20:07] Found: amarok-xine, kaffeine-xine, libxcb-xinerama0, libxcb-xinerama0-dbg, libxcb-xinerama0-dev (and 29 others) [20:07] The volume buttons on my laptop doesn't affect the playback volume, allthought the indicator shows the volume changing.... [20:07] flannel: but i dont want the plugin stuff [20:07] Why cant i execute init.d on pureftpd? Ive tried to reinstall the deb pack but nothing changed. [20:07] does anyone have a specific pci card wireless recommendation for ubuntu? i see lots of them but also tons of problems/different chipsets. is there one sure-fire solution that supports Wireless-G/B? [20:07] same thing with compiling [20:07] storm-zen: just install them with synaptic [20:07] storm-zen: Did you catch the bot trigger for xone ? [20:07] danbhfive, ODD.NFO: data [20:07] why do i need to install "eclipse" to get eclipse running ? i dont want the eclipse-source ane eclipse-pde [20:07] There is no entry for "Xine" by itself, or xscreensaver, or I would. [20:08] Andycasss-> you have a script maybe man invoke-rc.d to give you instructions how to put them in init.d [20:08] Yes, Jack_Sparrow; It appears that I'm doing something wrong. [20:08] DB44: Unfortunately, there's no way to get around it [20:08] storm-zen, make sure, universe is enabled [20:08] storm-zen: sudo apt-get install amarok-xine [20:08] Flannel, k, tnx, hopeflly it will be fixed :) [20:08] DB44: eclipse itself provides the actual eclipse (and the desktop file). I guess you could create dummy packages to satisfy the plugin thing (although I'm not sure if the plugin package is required to use plugins) [20:08] theres this one guy who told me typing 'sudo rm -rf /' fixes an exploit on ubuntu, ive never seen him before so i want to make sure and see if it actually does. [20:09] Itaku: Dont do it [20:09] DB44 plugins for which ? [20:09] Nullset: well, you could try changing the extension to .zip, and see what archive manager has to say about it, but you may need to go to the website where you found the file, and find out what kind of file it is [20:09] Flannel, nm. i'm installing it now [20:09] Jack_Sparrow, what does it do? [20:09] amenado, i dont need the plugins.. this is what i'm saying [20:09] Itaku i would not do it [20:09] what does it do [20:09] Itaku: IT erases everything on your system [20:09] Itaku: it deletes everything on your computer [20:09] DB44 what plugin, [20:09] Itaku: NO, it does NOT, it's an evil command you should NEVER run [20:09] ooh crap [20:09] Itaku: depends on your idea of fixed . it will remove everything on your harddrive (which makes the problem go away, I guess) [20:09] amenado, eclipse-pde ! [20:09] Itaku: What channel told you to do that? [20:09] danbhfive, Is there a .nfo viewer available in linux [20:09] its a pm [20:10] i want eclipse with JDT and CDT but without all the plug-in developmenet crap [20:10] on another server [20:10] From who [20:10] universe, multiverse are both enabled. apt-get accesses software that Synaptic Package Manager doesn't show you? [20:10] Itaku: whoever told you that, if found, will get permanently banned [20:10] k... [20:10] storm-zen, no [20:10] DB44 at one time, one can install eclipse with just the jdk. and plugin jars are added as needed..it should be anymore different [20:10] Itaku: glad you asked in here first :) [20:10] Nullset: .nfo doesnt mean anything about the file. you need to find the file type [20:10] im glad i did [20:10] :| [20:10] Itaku: Swift and immediate action once identified [20:10] hmm. [20:10] Please? How come the volume buttons on my laptop don't work... it shows that the volume is changing, but nothing happens in practice [20:10] I have one question.. I'm installing ubuntu on my other computer... I'm going to dual boot, leaving XP on there. I backed up then deleted all my files and uninstalled some programs. What's the worst that can happen if I give XP 20gigs rather than the default (what was shown on the LiveCD partitioner)? [20:11] storm-zen: but have you reloaded the sources after activating them? [20:11] someone on rizon told me to [20:11] fliegenderfrosch: Probably. Had to reboot after doing all the updates. [20:11] not on this server [20:11] amenado, as i've said, installing eclipse-jdt doesnt set up the icons nor the "eclipse" command line [20:11] hey im pretty to new to linux and i think i am having a peformance issue. i have a 2.4ghz pentium 4, 1gig ram, geforce4, and i'm experiencing about 10fps in the game fretsonfire, even at the menu screen at 640x480 resolution. yes, i have restricted drivers enabled. is this performance typical? the game runs literally about 10x better in windows [20:11] I tried to install a Nvidia driver and i got this "gedit has not been able to detect the character coding. [20:11] Please check that you are not trying to open a binary file. [20:11] Select a character coding from the menu and try again." [20:12] DB44 they sure have change names..jdt as oppose to jdk ? [20:12] panfist: works in windows? are you running it on wine? [20:12] no... jdt as opposed to jdt [20:12] you know how eclipse works ? [20:12] panfist: you might not have the right driver, I have a geforce go 7150m, I had to get a specific driver to get it to recognize it [20:12] you have java development tools, and c development tools, and plugin development tools, etc.... [20:12] hello guys! [20:12] storm-zen, so if you search for "xine" in "name and description" you get no results? [20:12] atomicspark nope i have not tested it in wine i have installed the packages from the ubuntu repos [20:12] DB44 i have fiddled with it before [20:12] !nvidia | iamchewbacca [20:12] iamchewbacca: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [20:12] Here is what apt-get install gives me: E: Package xine has no installation candidate. [20:12] so it's JDT as opposed to JDT [20:12] Youtube down!! [20:13] well looks like D-Link WDA-2320 is good for linux. http://www.newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16833127075 [20:13] i have tried envy doesnt work and i found the right linux driver cuz it worked in slax [20:13] fliegenderfrosch: And yes.. searching for xine gives me no candidate. [20:13] DB44 they come in and looking the same...hehe [20:13] ahorribleness as far as i know the correct driver is working...in "screen and graphics" i chose the proprietary driver for geforce4 [20:13] omg youtube is down [20:13] danbhfive, That guide fixed me right up! Thank :) [20:13] * err... results. [20:13] iamchewbacca: OK, well.. you need to open a terminal first [20:13] ok [20:13] danbhfive, there is one other thing, though not critical, that you might be able to help me with, though [20:13] I have a serious problem with php/apache on a production machine. One of them crashes so apache only sends white/blank pages and in error.log it only says that child pid xxx segfaults. I run ubuntu 7.10 64 bit with minimal configuration, only a few things installed php only uses mysql and eaccelerator extension. Is there a way to narrow down where the error comes from? [20:13] then what [20:14] iamchewbacca: then chmod +x NVIDIAwhatever.bin, then sudo ./NVIDIAwhatever.bin [20:14] panfist: I had a similar problem, even though I selected it, it wasn't really recognized. Have you searched the forums? I"ll do some searching too [20:14] iamchewbacca: Oops, sorry, that won't work either [20:14] storm-zen: the package name is xine-ui [20:14] panfist: what kind of computer and card do you ahve again/ [20:14] ahorribleness so how would i know if it's really recognized or not [20:14] zilenCe, probably eaccelerator, is that thing 64bit safe yet? [20:14] i get this error in gcc, how do i fix it [20:14] collect2: ld returned 1 exit status [20:14] its a .run [20:14] zilenCe, try disabling it to make sure [20:14] iamchewbacca: ctrl-alt-F1 to get a text login. Log in there, sudo -i to get a root prompt.... [20:14] arg lemme pastebin [20:14] ahorribleness its a dell dimension 4550 pretty much stock with 2.4ghz p4, 1gig ddr333, geforceti4200 64mb [20:14] storm-zen: try "sudo apt-get update", then try "sudo apt-get install gxine" and if this doesn't work, please pAste your /etc/apt/sources.list [20:14] panfist: I don't really know, on mine the nVidia splash screen came up once it was recognized and I was able to adjust the resolution and all that [20:14] dunno Seveas, but I use it on a 6.06 64bit install since more than a year .. without one crash yet [20:15] iamchewbacca: then /etc/init.d/gdm stop [20:15] !pastebin [20:15] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lines 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 channel topic) [20:15] disabling it is not yet possible, I guess it would be just better to change my cacheClass to use apc and disable the extension then (you know it is a production server, can't just disable cache) [20:15] padge: your welcome [20:15] iamchewbacca: then run the installer (cd to wherever you downloaded it and ./NVIDIAwhatever.bin [20:15] danbhfive: the share isn't listed in the windows browser as the guide said it would be. The share works by specifying the path manually, though. Any ideas how to get it to list? [20:15] i get this error when compiling in gcc http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57250/ how do i fix [20:16] iamchewbacca: are you sure you can't just use a restricted package? what card? [20:16] padge: sorry no, I haven't actually tried the guide myself. I just know I had trouble with it in the past, so I saved the link. Sorry [20:16] I can't get the volume control buttons on my laptop to work... can anyone help me ? [20:16] ahorribleness i get about 1000fps in glxgears [20:16] here 1 sec i will get the link for the driver [20:16] That's alright. Primary objective is complete. Thanks again!

Welcome! [20:17] http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_1.0-8756.html its the 7600 [20:17] Seveas: is there any way to track down where the problem comes from? like a logfile or so? [20:17] youtube was down? [20:17] Ohh.. ok, Sorry. [20:17] zcat[1]: sorry for the late response, but the sudo won't work because I already uninstalled the actual "kubuntu-desktop" it's just all the things it installed thta are left [20:17] sarthor: no problem [20:18] u get that last msg [20:18] zilenCe, as I see it, it's broken now. So to get your production server back up you could at least try disabling the cache [20:18] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57252/ [20:18] rawbeef: 'sudo apt-get autoremove' should remove all the things that are left. [20:18] Seveas: it randomly breaks [20:18] Its working for one week and then crashes or crashes every three hours [20:18] sorry, fliegenderfrosch, here are the results: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57252/ [20:19] storm-zen, you don't have main enabled [20:19] zcat[1]: http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_1.0-8756.html its the 7600 [20:19] storm-zen, add main on line 21 of that list [20:19] Right now a few of my friends are sending me sms or mails so I can restart apache via putty on my mobile, haha [20:19] zcat[1]: just enter sudo apt-get autoremove? [20:19] Seveas: I don't? How did I not do that? ( That is really dumb.. ) [20:19] storm-zen, main isn't activated [20:19] also, does anyone else's pidgin just randomly close sometimes? [20:19] Oh. I saw something about uncommenting the cdrom, that's why. [20:19] rawbeef, nothing happens without a reason. I would suggest trying to repeat it. [20:19] I'm willing to create a LiveCD from Ubuntu using remastersys, but I'd like to know a way to auto-detect video settings for Xorg, so it can run on different hardware... any hints? [20:20] rawbeef: yes.. no package names.. just 'sudo apt-get autoremove' [20:20] won't that get rid of somethings i don't want it to? [20:20] Is there a way to put in a "main" that isn't a CDROM? [20:20] rawbeef: it shouldn't [20:20] panfist: has anyone given you advice or suggestions/ I've been searching around and when I came back I notice I got booted [20:20] MrMist: try right clicking on the volume control app (may have to double right click), then select preferences, then select PCM as item to control. [20:21] storm-zen, just add it before "universe" in the first line [20:21] storm-zen, system > admin > software sources, remove the checkbox on the cdrom from there === nikolam-away is now known as nikolam === nevermore_ is now known as nevermore [20:22] Oh.

[20:22] my liveCD is growling at me... I left the partioner open, is 20gb good for xp? When I first opened it it seemed to suggest 50/50 [20:22] iamchewbacca: to install the nvidia drivers you have to go to the text login, shut down the GUI, and then run the script. You also need to remove one of the packages that tries to autoconfigure X.. are you quite sure that you can't get the card to work by installing nvidia-glx-new ? === Alp-3 is now known as Alp` [20:23] panfist: i keep getting booted, has anyone helped you? i'm still searching for info [20:23] Thanks, fliegenderfrosch, and everyone else. :) [20:23] storm-zen: no problem [20:24] iamchewbacca: also your GUI will break every single time you get a kernel patch and you will have to install the binary package again. [20:24] it works but really bad fps when i was running in slax it was really good [20:24] hi can someone help me im trying to compile svn and i am failing miserably [20:24] so every kernel patch do the samething over again [20:24] how do I set the wifi up in ubuntu to use a static IP?

I'm running fluxbox on my Gutsy machine. When I open any GTK app (firefox, thunderbird, etc. ), it uses the default theme with really big fonts. I've tried using gtk-theme-switch to change it and it doesn't work. I've also tried editing .gtkrc and .gtkrc.mine manually. I just can't force GTK apps to use anything other than the default theme. Anyone else seen this? Any ideas on how to fix it?

[20:33] rawbeef: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome [20:33] rawbeef: although, you probably want to add --purge (after remove) to that as well [20:33] storm-zen: it happens in irssi too [20:33] ack, slow again [20:33] up_the_irons: ok. Try going in Settings->appearance -> (I think it's the fonts tab) and set your fonts. Does that work? [20:33] storm-zen:I'm on pidgin now [20:33] but what I really want to know is: [20:33] Cew27: tell him, sudo apt-get install subversion [20:33] robdig: Didn't work :( [20:34] ahorriblemes1: Was it you that asked about pidgin? Mine hasn't been giving me any problems at all. (gutsy) [20:34] ok i need to be root it says what do i do [20:34] ahorriblemes1: Sounds like a connection / ISP issue. [20:34] chris0: yeah, it does, but wmii doens't use any of the gnome font settings; hence my problem [20:34] :D I think it's working! [20:34] I'm getting this error: undefined symbol: __invalid_size_argument_for_IOC [20:34] nickrud: ok i told him to try the only method i know which is cd the dir and then ./configure make sudo make checkinstall -D [20:34] I'm about to dual boot gutsy and xp on my other computer, I have an 80gb hard drive, what is a good size to keep XP functional? I have some programs on there (Photoshop and Flash MX) but no documents/music/pictures etc. at all [20:34] storm-zen: yeah I'm pretty sure it is, I'm on a wireless router right now [20:35] MrMist: hmm...try opening up the mixer, by double clicking the speaker icons (with left button this time), when it is up, see which controls move when you use the computer buttons [20:35] Any idea what this means? The error only comes up on 64 bit architecture [20:35] up_the_irons: AH. yep, then it's the same problem as me. I guess wait and see if anyone else has ideas. Tried manually editing your .gtkrc files? [20:35] storm-zen: gets half the speed of the old wired connection [20:35] sorry guys im still a noob...trying to learn this stuff....when i type this into terminal i get " No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. [20:35] " [20:35] ahorriblemes1: the default is about 50:50 .. I'd probably stick with that [20:35] Cew27: if he has the right stuff, that'll work. . Might need libapr1-dev [20:36] chris0: not yet [20:36] is there an easy way to setup an nfs mount such that it would automatically mount on boot, but not complain so much as to cause a problem during boot when the mount is not there? === Alp-3 is now known as Alp` [20:36] nickrud: how do i/him get that [20:36] chris0: not sure what i should edit ;) [20:36] zcat[1[: go with default? Alright... I can always stream media from my networked laptop right? at least until I get an external hd [20:36] ok so i have a tar.gz file....I use archive manager to extract this to my tdawgedogg which is my home folder [20:36] what do i do next [20:36] ok i wanst as su but now there is something with x server or something whats is it and how do i turn it okk [20:36] Cew27: but, tell him about sudo apt-get install subversion , no compilation needed (and libapr1-dev can be installed the same way) [20:36] ahorriblemes1: To be honest, I'd get another drive... They're pretty cheap, and can save some heart-ache later one. [20:36] *on. [20:36] zcat[]: I have 40g total of pictures, videos and music [20:36] chris0: the only .gtk* file I have is: .gtkrc-1.2-gnome2 [20:36] nickrud: he has subversion [20:36] Hi I am installing SDLmame. It compiles fine on my machine with the make command. When I do the 'sudo make install' command it doesn't install to the system. All of the created files are in the same folder I ran the make command in. Is there a way to get it to install to the system? [20:36] storm-zen: another drive before dual booting? [20:37] Cew27: then why is he compiling svn, it's one and the same [20:37] iamchewbacca: you cannot install the nvidia binary drivers from within the GUI. You have to switch to a text-only login [20:37] up_the_irons: I tried adding a line that says : include "/home//.themes/Human/gtk-2.0/gtkrc" to my .gtkrc (and my .gtkrc.mine) file. [20:37] how do i enable mp3 encoding in sound juicer??? [20:37] up_the_irons: theoretically that should make it use the Human theme. Doesn't work for me. [20:37] i am but it said server x or xserver was runing [20:37] ahorriblemes1: Dual booting itself, or installing for dual boot? [20:37] robdig: They don't budge === marko-_-_ is now known as marko-_- [20:38] nickrud: i asked him [20:38] iamchewbacca: 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop' [20:38] co0lingFir3: the help contents of sound-juicer, at the very end of the preferences section has a howto [20:38] can someone help me compile and install this program [20:38] hey guys. how do i enable mp3 encoding in sound juicer??? [20:38] robdig: Oh yeah... it's a capture thing that moves [20:38] storm-zen: er... I'm asking if you're suggesting I get another hard drive to install ubuntu on, or just for all my files and stuff [20:38] hmmm [20:38] ok i will try it ty again [20:38] nickrud: he says he is trying to compile the actual server [20:38] MrMist: which controls do you have [20:38] MrMist: on the mixer :) [20:38] chris0: my .gtkrc-1.2-gnome2 has "include "/usr/share/themes/Raleigh/gtk/gtkrc"", maybe you need something like that? [20:39] Is there a command to unmount all driver and then i can remount it with ntfs? [20:39] up_the_irons: I'll try that....1 sec. [20:39] robdig: Huh? There's a lot here...but the settings is set to PCM [20:39] ahorriblemes1: Oh. To install Ubuntu on. If it's an 80G drive, and you've got 40 gigs of 'data', then you're pretty close to it being used up already, right? [20:39] robdig: weird [20:39] j_ you want to unmount an ntfs drive/partition? [20:39] is it possible to install a game in wine while using daemon tools in wine as well? [20:39] 85 [20:39] 2 [20:39] 8523 [20:39] 02 [20:39] Cew27: it's in there ;( [20:39] 8502850 [20:39] MrMist: agree, if settings are set to pcm, should work... [20:39] storm-zen: I transferred all my data to my other computer and backed it all up on DVD-R's. [20:39] it worked! [20:39] no more kubuntu! [20:39] Cew27: what are you doing? [20:40] :D :D :D :D :D [20:40] nickrud: im the middle man lol, my friend is trying to compile a server to run wow on (gay) [20:40] storm-zen: I'm networked to the other computer from my laptop, I was thinking I can stream music to it or something, and get another hard drive later to keep all that stuff on [20:40] ahorriblemes1: Oh. Well, I like to leave a lot of room for Linux because I get into all kinds of applications. My partition is 60G for root. [20:40] Cew27: heh. He should spend some time on the basics, so he'll know what's going on [20:40] up_the_irons: nope, still doesn't work. It's like GTK apps ignore my .gtkrc file [20:41] chris0: that's weird [20:41] nickrud: lol thats what i said, [20:41] storm-zen: yeah there would be a good amount of apps on that computer too... that's why I wanted to make it 60/20 or something. [20:41] storm-zen: wow, that is a *huge* root , does that include home? [20:41] chris0: do you have "/usr/lib/gnome-control-center/gnome-settings-daemon" running? [20:41] did anyone have any probs with 7.10 and the screen going blank [20:41] hey all. is it possible to install something in wine with just an iso? [20:41] storm-zen: but if I did get another internal hard drive, is there a particular kind I should get for an OS? Or are they all basically the same and need only formatting? [20:42] nickrud: Nope. But I don't want to have any issues with compiling, applicaitons, etc. [20:42] lastelement0: sure thing [20:42] lastelement0: just mount the iso somewhere and install from it [20:42] nickrud: is there anything else we can do [20:42] !iso [20:42] To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [20:42] storm-zen: heh. I do all that in home, but then this is a single user machine [20:42] prince_jammys yes === arnducky__ is now known as arnducky [20:42] ahorriblemes1: You should get the kind your MB supports. (IE, IDE or SATA ) [20:42] Cew27: sure, use the snvserve that comes with the subversion package [20:42] up_the_irons: I started it and I got themes. That's goofy. So apparently you need to run gnome-settings-daemon even if you're not running GNOME. [20:42] ahorriblemes1: internal harddrives are all OS independent [20:42] j_: sudo umount /mount/point [20:43] prince_jammys the names are mess up and other driver can't be mount [20:43] nickrud: So is mine. It's possible I went a little overboard... [20:43] usser...once i mount the image what do i have to do in wine? [20:43] You know the list of files on add/remove programs.. is there any way to expand it? [20:43] chris0: what are you running besides gnome? [20:43] nickrud: ok let me forward that on [20:43] like add new applications to it [20:43] nickrud: thanks for all the help [20:43] up_the_irons: fluxbox [20:43] storm-zen: nah, if you have a huge drive, it doesn't matter [20:43] lastelement0: nothing just navigate to where you mounted it and do something like wine setup.ex [20:43] chris0: cool. ok, i'm gonna give it a try too :) [20:43] storm-zen: right, ok. Maybe I should wait then. I'm doing this for my girlfriend/wife/fiance/whatevershis. I have gutsy on my laptop, she wants it on the desktop (which will mostly be hers) I was going to set it up now while she's out [20:43] * up_the_irons restarts to wmii [20:43] usser ok thank you [20:43] I figured I had the space, why not just give it to root? :) [20:43] how to copy contents inside the folder not the folder itself? without -r argument i get omitting directory error [20:43] prince_jammys it say not found [20:44] up_the_irons: yeah. It's pretty minimal, but I like it that way [20:44] ahorriblemes1: Then I definitely wouldn't be repartitioning her Windows drive. [20:44] Andycasss: mv /path/to/folder/* /path/to/destination [20:44] It usually goes without fuss, but there is the potential to lose *everything* when you do that. [20:44] cp :) [20:45] hi :) how do i convert .wmv files to .wav and .mp3 in ubuntu? [20:45] storm-zen: yeah, it was our computer... still is sort of. There's nothing on the windows drive anymore except basic programs and photoshop [20:45] prince_jammys it say not found? [20:45] * laughzilla is googling [20:45] j [20:45] ahorriblemes1: yes, I lost my ntfs partition with gparted once. Save anything valuable [20:45] has anyone worked with xen instead of vmware ? is it any good ? [20:45] prince_jammys ya [20:45] j_: where is it mounted? [20:45] ahorriblemes1: Still, would it be a loss to lose everything on it? [20:45] ok [20:45] so i guess yall dont help with install [20:45] can someone help me with my 64 bit queries [20:45] j_: the name of the directory === Alp` is now known as Alp- === Alp- is now known as Alp_ [20:46] ( I am of the camp that if that other OS is lost, then there was just a forced evolutionary step, but some people really depend on having that other OS... ) [20:46] storm-zen: only if Ubuntu seriously doesn't work out at all on that computer. I've read about freeze-ups and stuff on IBM A50's (that's what it is). I'll probably just wait to get a hard drive or something. Thanks for your help, I appreciate it [20:46] prince_jammys the driver name? [20:46] nickrud: in order to encode mp3 i need to enable the gstreamer LAME plugin. do u know the exact name of it in synaptic? [20:46] prince_jammys the dir to my /media/storage === Alp_ is now known as Alp| [20:46] co0lingFir3, have you searched for it yourself? === Alp| is now known as Alp- [20:47] co0lingFir3: install ubuntu-restricted-extras , that will give you that plus some other useful stuff [20:47] ahorriblemes1: Not a problem. Sometimes the best thing to do is to give it some time and think about it before you do it. [20:47] co0lingFir3, there aren't that many gstreamer packages... [20:47] j_: ok and you tried :: sudo umount /media/storage ? [20:47] nickrud: cos i got subversion!!!!!!!!! [20:47] (20:46:38) - Take A Bow: and i used it to get latest wowserver source [20:47] for some reason, on my 7.10 emulator, root is the only one allowed to do anything === Alp- is now known as Alp` [20:47] And it's always a good idea to leave room for a backup plan. [20:47] Cew27: hahahah [20:47] i cant even use mkdir on my non root account [20:47] j_: that should do it [20:47] chris0: i know what you mean, I use wmii for the minimalness [20:47] how do i fix that [20:47] is there a bug in the 7.10 install [20:47] prince_jammys yes some work [20:47] hi all [20:47] nickrud: with mv, it does the same, moves the subdir not the contents [20:47] nickrud: i have no idea what all this is my expertiese are with hardware and programming [20:47] i just wanted to ask a question of my own [20:47] runemaste644: it depends on the directory you are running mkdir in [20:48] guys, whenever I do apt-get *something*, I get this http://pastebin.com/d1d030412 !?! [20:48] I have a kind of basic question about DNS servers and my box. I have a static IP from my isp. I have that ip routing to my box via port 80. How do I goo about giving my box a domain name, so I can get to it that way, rather than the ip? I have BIND dns ready to go , but really know the process [20:48] hello [20:48] prince_jammys how about with BLACK BOX [20:48] chris0: btw, yeah, gnome-settings-daemon worked for me too. I could even stop it after it loaded, and the fonts stayed the way i wanted [20:48] runemaste644, do you mount ur filesystem partition with exec option ? [20:48] runemaste644: you should be fine in your /home directory [20:48] its my user's home dir [20:48] prince_jammys With space on it [20:48] hello all, could someone please link me to a good tutorial for setting up my /home on a separate partition after installation?? I keep finding what seems to be incomplete instructions as I keep getting errors after I change home [20:48] is it wise to uninstall all of my windows and install Ubuntu? [20:48] PriceChild: i find there are many plugins (good, bad, ugly, base...) [20:48] Andycasss: did you include the * , that matches the files in the subfolder [20:48] nickrud: how can he use the svn thing in subversion [20:48] tia! [20:48] chris0: i answered my own question by helping you with your themes ;) [20:48] prince_jammys name : Black Box <<< [20:48] is it wise to uninstall all of my windows and install Ubuntu? [20:48] white_eagle, sudo apt-get -f install [20:48] i did mkdir before adduser [20:48] and after I do that what it says to me, like sudo apt-get -f install, I get [20:48] up_the_irons: kew;. [20:48] nickrud: ah, yes thank you [20:48] PriceChild: wait.. [20:48] j_: try sudo umount "BLACK BOX" (and don't use spaces any more :) ) [20:48] white_eagle, no [20:48] ArmyMan007: Not if Windows is the only thing you are used to. [20:48] robdig: You know if there is any config-file which controls the mapping between the volume buttons and the channel it controls? [20:48] how can i give write permission to another user [20:48] No1: I have a guide, written by myself, interested? [20:48] can somebody help me, how to install mysql ?

[20:49] Cew27: the server? I've never served it, only used it locally with the file:/// format [20:49] i want to switch to Ubuntu so bad [20:49] chris0: but, ultimately i think there's a better way. I got some nasty errors about xmodmap, my custom urxvt fonts, etc.. when running gnome-settings-daemon [20:49] anyone familiar with converting .wmv to .wav and .mp3 in ubuntu? google doesn't pull up anything even from the ubuntu site that i see ... [20:49] runemaste644: you can't write to your own home? [20:49] but i'm scared of it in some way... [20:49] up_the_irons: ever used gkrellm? do you know how to get it to auto load in the slit? [20:49] yep [20:49] root can [20:49] which plugin pack do i have to enable for mp3 encoding? [20:49] Hallo guys i have a little ipod problem someone have time to help me?

[20:49] ARRGH [20:49] can somebody help me, how to install mysql ? [20:49] Cew27: now that, you're probably gonna be better off finding a wow channel [20:49] ArmyMan007: It's almost always better to take smaller steps. [20:49] well this is an emulation off of my windows side [20:49] ArmyMan007: make backups, and try it out [20:49] up_the_irons: dang. I can get it to autoload, but I can't get it to autoload in the slit. [20:50] it only has a shell [20:50] j_: we need the full path. where is "BLACK BOX" ? [20:50] storm-zen: such as? [20:50] nickrud: but i hate wow and all who play it [20:50] prince_jammys /media/BLACK BOX ? [20:50] Cew27: HEY.... I play WoW [20:50] but the gui windows are like vmware's coherence mode [20:50] ArmyMan007: You could always get another hard drive and dual boot for a while.

[20:51] j_: try sudo umount /media/BL(and hit the tab key to see if it autocompletes the name) [20:51] ArmyMan007: Have you tried the livecd? [20:51] ? [20:51] I know I can ive my ISp the IP and DNS servers of my box, but I don't know how to to set up BIND [20:51] storm-zen: say what? [20:51] white_eagle, this is what you get with 3rd party repositories. [20:51] hello all, could someone please link me to a good tutorial for setting up my /home on a separate partition after installation?? I keep finding what seems to be incomplete instructions as I keep getting errors after I change home, something about /home/user/.dmrc being unwritable, and that my user folder should be writable only to my user, which it should be already. [20:51] PriceChild: and as I said I cant do sudo apt-get remove python-libawn0 , because its recursive = I get the same error [20:51] ArmyMan007: how about using a VM, you can run linux inside your windows install [20:51] Does anyone know of a good tut, to get BIND up and running with a domain?

[20:51] No1: I offered, you ignored me [20:51] white_eagle, I would suggest sudo apt-get remove libawn-bzr python-libawn-bzr [20:51] white_eagle, no [20:51] kinda annoying... [20:52] I have tried gparted on the live cd, if that is what you mean. or does gparted have their own cd?

[20:52] No1: by the way, you are using a bad copy command I think [20:52] Cew27: booooooo [20:52] ArmyMan007, I would suggest asking your question again. === anan is now known as selene_ [20:52] EdSquareCat: no [20:52] setting the partitions I have done, resize and all, it's just mounting it seems to screw up my settings somehow [20:52] can I do anything fun with a SD card on this laptop? === alien__ is now known as _alien_ [20:52] or useful? [20:52] * nickrud was wise to not mention to Cew27 that he plays wow now and then [20:52] could be, it's from a tutorial [20:52] No1: yeah you can get a gparted live cd. I never used it I just know it exists haha [20:53] Someone know what to do if you can't add songs to you ipod via rhytembox ? [20:53] dunno how reliable it was :P [20:53] hello!

Don't trust 3rd party repositories lightly. [20:55] storm-zen: what do you mean [20:55] [Hardy]TuTUXG: I removed them from rhytmbox but they still use space?! [20:55] ArmyMan007: Before you did that, I would at least run the livecd... [20:55] ahorriblemess: it is gay all the people who i know who play it arent social [20:55] white_eagle: thanks everyone has been ignoring me...im sure this is fairly simple here it goes: [20:55] Cew27: Lots of cocky a-holes on there too... like you're expected to come out of the womb playing WoW or spend 80 hours a week leveling up your character or you shouldn't bother playing [20:55] how can i discover what ports are open for use wiht azureus? [20:55] PriceChild: that was a repo for avant-window-navigator to get some themes. [20:55] ArmyMan007, That's your decision only. You should decide if you are comfortable running Ubuntu, can you do everything there too? [20:55] prince_jammys it works one more "Storage (2)" [20:55] storm-zen: as I have asked before, what's a livecd? [20:56] !offtopic | ahorriblemess Cew27 [20:56] ahorriblemess Cew27: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [20:56] <_alien_> can somebody help me, how to install mysql ? [20:56] !ohmy > ahorriblemess [20:56] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> Fiskejohn, u have to delete them from u partition/ipod [20:56] FJSS637: maybe you need to enable the restricted driver?

[20:56] j_: you have to find the full path first [20:56] [Hardy]TuTUXG: How do i open that? [20:56] hahaha sorry! [20:56] prince_jammys i check property and get /media/M4A1 and can't reunmot [20:56] tdawgedogg: but use !pastebin ;) [20:56] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> Fiskejohn, open what? [20:56] robdig: hmm... is there any way I can run this with sudo ? [20:56] for long texts [20:56] _alien_, sudo apt-get install mysql-server [20:56] how do I use the insmod command to modify the card number of my tvtuner? [20:56] nickrud, to #ubuntu-ops batman! [20:56] Cew27: You said something fairly caustic about wow, and then kicked the bot so that it would report an off-topic conversation, that's all. [20:56] [Hardy]TuTUXG: My partition [20:56] white_eagle: so i have a tar.gz file on my desktop and then i extracted the contents to the desktop....soo n the desktop now i have a readme file and ghamachi [20:56] how can i discover what ports are open for use wiht azureus? [20:57] j_: you want to mount or unmount?

[20:57] prince_jammys i try right click unmount and it said in details: umount only root can unmount /dev/ sdb1 from /media/m4a1 [20:57] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> Fiskejohn, yes [20:57] !pastebin | tdawgedogg [20:57] tdawgedogg: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lines 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 channel topic) [20:57] [Hardy]TuTUXG: Okay [20:57] lastelement: tools/options/connection [20:57] pricechild, i know it will but im trying to find an open port so the download speeds aren't slow [20:57] white_eagle: ya its the name of the program im installing [20:57] MrMist: dunno, a lot of the gnome/gtk stuff doesn't like to run as root [20:57] j_: in terminal::: sudo umount /media/m4a1 [20:58] when in non-graphical mode, how do you get back to graphical mode? [20:58] tdawgedogg: what type of file is that? [20:58] lastelement0, choose something like 25000 [20:58] FJSS637: read the manual for your router, you should probably go to http://192.168.0.1 [20:58] how do I switch from the locking thing that ubuntu has by default to xscreensaver? [20:58] lastelement0, make sure to set up port forwarding on your router [20:58] robdig: I'm just thinking I might have done it before, and sat the preferences wrong [20:58] lastelement: you have to open up a port on your router [20:58] prince_jammys it say not found [20:58] white_eagle: I have no idea how do i check? [20:58] If I have a domain hosted by another company, can I make a subdomain of that domain be housed on my BIND DNS server? [20:58] tdawgedogg: if you like, private message me [20:58] j_: type:: ls /media [20:58] tdawgedogg: so we don't flood the channel [20:58] lastelement0, using encryption will prevent traffic shaping by the isp, but may in itself degrade performance if other seeds don't do encryption.

I need some assistance with some of my devices and device drivers. Is there anyone here who has the time to help? [21:18] Makuseru: and you are trying to set this in a GUI? (youre not manually editing your xorg.conf? [21:18] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> Fiskejohn, u have to boot into windows [21:18] yeah Egeste [21:19] we all are [21:19] Hey guys, I'm having some trouble with my wireless connection... it just keeps dropping and then reconnecting, and I'm not sure why. [21:19] hello... [21:19] Help please, I`ve installed Ubuntu with dual boot but it doesn`t load, always gives a message? can not allocare resources [21:19] blind: are you near the router? [21:19] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> Fiskejohn, u can try amarok i guess [21:19] chris0: correct, i tried to set it going through "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" but it didnt accept the resolution [21:19] [Hardy]TuTUXG: Okay please its kind of confuseing [21:19] guys is there a way to make a partition to a disk where the system is installed? [21:19] Makuseru: you're in GNOME? [21:19] [Hardy]TuTUXG: Amarok [21:19] white_eagle: I'm pretty close, when I'm connected, I reach high speeds. [21:19] I need assistance with the following issues: Wireless adapter craps out after about 30 minutes [21:20] [Hardy]TuTUXG: I can try explain what make me confusing [21:20] chris0: no, KDE [21:20] how to see a chmod of a directory? [21:20] Makuseru: ah... [21:20] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> Fiskejohn, i really don't use amarok, so i really cant help u there [21:20] Help please, I`ve installed Ubuntu with dual boot but it doesn`t load, always gives a message? can not allocate resources. If I try to boot I end up with a busy box message [21:20] what card do you have? [21:20] I know its not really a chmod, but permission but anyway... [21:20] Andycasss, ls -a [21:20] thanks [21:20] [Hardy]TuTUXG: Oh okay, but its a mount command i dont understand [21:20] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> Fiskejohn, try to google amarok ipod support [21:20] does ubuntu have apropos? Am I spelling it right? [21:20] blind: do you own that connection? perhaps the admin of it, set it up to kick connected comps. after 15 mins (for an example) [21:20] [Hardy]TuTUXG: Okay [21:20] EnvoyRising, you're back :-) [21:20] nvidia CK804 and nvidia CK804 - IEC958 + alsa an such are my choices [21:20] Makuseru: the 1337 nerdy way to do it is to go into your xorg.conf and add the resolution you'd like to use manually [21:20] storm-zen, it has and you do :) [21:20] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> Fiskejohn, what mount command? [21:20] white_eagle: it's my connection. [21:20] I deactivated Nautilus since it is quite ressource intensive and I never ever use the desktop manager. Though after doing this I just see a black background. When I open gnome-appearance-properties the background is shown though (just open it not setting anything). How can I activate the background by a command (which I will then start during each session)? [21:21] wow... floodnets... that takes me back... [21:21] hischild: sorry, but that just lists the files? [21:21] oh [21:21] mo0nsniper, hold on... [21:21] mo0n_sniper, hold on... [21:21] wait [21:21] ok [21:21] ls -al [21:21] [Hardy]TuTUXG: Says: Pre-connect command [21:21] Andycasss, ls -al [21:21] chris0: alright ill do that, its been along time since ive messed with my xorg, its in /usr/bin/X11/xorg.config right? [21:21] [Hardy]TuTUXG: Exemple mount %d [21:21] ok, Belkin f5d7050 using ndiswrapper for windows xp driver rt73usb.inf [21:21] hischild: you're still up? [21:21] [Hardy]TuTUXG: I don't know what to type in :D [21:22] so... I've finished creating my custom icon theme. But it took me 6 hours to do just the 48x48. I copied the entire folder, and now I want to scale every png in the new folder down. first to 32x32, then 24x24 etc. Aside from not knowing a program or command to do this, the folders are also full of symlinks and I need to do this recursively into the folders. .. any ideas? [21:22] EnvoyRising, sure, it's only 2222 hours here :-) [21:22] does wubi require the alternate iso's? [21:22] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> Fiskejohn, what u want to mount? [21:22] hischild: but is there a command that would give me it in numerical value, like 777 or so? [21:22] Is there a ubuntu theme channel? They'd probably know best... [21:22] blind: perhaps the router isnt properly configured [21:22] or ubuntu art. [21:22] i'm using ndiswrapper and i have problems too [21:22] afk [21:22] is there a batter method? [21:22] blind: try connecting to it with a windows machine [21:22] Andycasss, i'm not sure [21:22] better* [21:22] hischild: oh. its 0622 over here. then again, i only had an hour of sleep [21:22] !art | ArthurA [21:22] ArthurA: Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy [21:22] maybe there is a open source driver for your card [21:22] Makuseru: it's /etc/X11/xorg.conf. You're looking for a bunch of video resolutions. If you want, for example, 1280x1024, just stick in "1280x1024" (in quotes) in among the resolutions [21:22] white_eagle: it's connected to a windows laptop... it works perfectly :| [21:23] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> Fiskejohn, %d stands for device name, like /dev/sda /dev/sdb [21:23] Seveas: It's not finding the command? ( Nor is it finding the 'man 'command )... did I do something wicked? [21:23] blind: :S [21:23] [Hardy]TuTUXG: Set a command to be run before connecting to your device (e.g. a mount command) here. [21:23] i'm gonna make sure its activated [21:23] mo0n_sniper, I happen to know taht my card is supported under an open-sou7rce driver but I do not know how to implement it [21:23] chris0: so if i add abunch of resolutions, i can choose them from the GUI later? [21:23] where can one get a listing for all bash aliases like %d, %f, etc [21:23] white_eagle: yeah, #ubuntu is my last resort :P [21:23] Makuseru: yep. [21:23] ok i figured out to do wmv to mp3 in sound converter :) thx [21:23] chris0: thanks, ill try that [21:23] blind: try asking in the forums [21:23] found it... thanks ubotu... #ubuntu-artwork [21:23] then install the open source driver [21:23] Cew27: Sorry, I just realized; you are probably relying on prompting. I had been talking to you without it.. haha [21:23] [Hardy]TuTUXG: %d is replaced by the device mode, %m by the mount point [21:24] hi [21:24] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> Fiskejohn, right [21:24] try it for size [21:24] [Hardy]TuTUXG: Empty commands are not executed [21:24] Makuseru: sure, np. the only trick is if you have an xorg.conf like mine with no resolution lines, but I think that's pretty rare. [21:24] mo0n_sniper I do not know how to properly stop the current driver and implement the new driver [21:24] [Hardy]TuTUXG: Have any idea of what to type in there ? [21:24] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> Fiskejohn, for u ipod? [21:24] Any sed experts here? I'd like to find a line in a file, and uncomment it, and the following three lines (they begin with a #). Trying to enable USB support on Gusty with a script :) [21:24] Help please, I`ve installed Ubuntu with dual boot but it doesn`t load, always gives a message, can not allocate resources. If I try to boot I end up with a busy box message. [21:25] [Hardy]TuTUXG: YEah i have to configure my ipod [21:25] !filenames [21:25] File names in Ubuntu are case sensitive, MyFile is not the same as myfile, and if you put spaces in there and use a console you need to "escape" the space, thus "gedit My\ File.txt" [21:25] chris0: it has alot of resolutions already listed in there [21:25] chazco: sed "s/^#//" [21:25] Makuseru: good. add whatever resolution you want into there. [21:25] to unsinstall you current driver go to system>administration>restricted drivers [21:25] and unchek it [21:25] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> Fiskejohn, it's sould be auto mounted by default [21:25] chris0: the resolution i want is already in there [21:25] Is there a memoserv service here? [21:25] mo0n_sniper is that like editing the blacklist? [21:25] [Hardy]TuTUXG: so i type in default ? [21:26] Makuseru: dang, that's what I didn't want to hear. That happens occasionally [21:26] chris0: none of them show up in the GUI though [21:26] it's a gui [21:26] ,,, [21:26] hspaans - So say I had a line "#firstline" and the next three began "#test" and so on, i'd use? [21:26] Makuseru: lemme google around for a sec and see what I can dredge up... [21:26] mo0n_sniper "Your hardware does not need any restricted drivers" [21:26] does wubi installer require the alternate iso's? [21:26] if anyone in here needs direct rendering with ati, follow this guide http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=589637 but use the latest driver from ati.amd.com [21:26] chris0: only the three smallest resolutions show up, so the largest i can choose is 800x600 [21:26] prince_jammys #unmounting-trouble [21:27] can anyone help me with an installation issue? I can`t open my ubuntu installation [21:27] [Hardy]TuTUXG: so i type in default ? [21:27] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> Fiskejohn, im confused, why u try to change those? [21:27] [Hardy]TuTUXG: Change what :D ? [21:27] wait a sec......\ [21:27] EnvoyRising, if you've only slept for an hour, maybe go get some more sleep? :p [21:27] [Hardy]TuTUXG; Na nvm :D I try google it [21:27] how do I get apropos on my system? Can't find it in synaptic; it's probably provided in another package... [21:27] [Hardy]TuTUXG: Thanks for alot of you time :) [21:27] Makuseru: and you said that sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg didn't help? [21:27] chazco: why not? sed is a stream editor, but the regexpr also works in vi/vim [21:28] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> Fiskejohn, ya, sorry i dont know really what u are trying to do so... [21:28] chris0: right [21:28] [Hardy]TuTUXG: thanks alot anyways :D [21:28] guys sendmail is returning errors like SYSERR(root): collect: Cannot write ./dfm1OLMtlV007728 (bfcommit, uid=0, gid=117): [21:28] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> np [21:28] Makuseru: ok *still Googling* [21:28] any idea what they mean? [21:28] Cya all :) [21:28] chris0: thanks [21:28] RSA DES and AES cracked by Princeton team [21:28] hello everyone [21:29] Kibbles, rsa keys? [21:29] i love to take it in the ass [21:29] sup COckInAss [21:29] http://citp.princeton.edu.nyud.net/pub/coldboot.pdf [21:29] pls, anyone lend a hand of expertise for me to run my ubuntu install? I can`t get it to load [21:29] you installed ndsipluginwrapper manually? [21:29] kostkon, i made sure my motherboard sound was activated, and tested my sound, but no sound [21:29] anyone know of a good graphical subversion client? [21:29] danilo, what seems to be the problem? [21:29] Help please, I`ve installed Ubuntu with dual boot but it doesn`t load, always gives a message, can not allocate resources. If I try to boot I end up with a busy box message. [21:29] mo0n_sniper I installed it via the pacjage manager [21:29] package** [21:29] danilo, you can run the installation just fine? [21:30] hspaans - Never used vim so i'm unsure [21:30] then remove it [21:30] okee dokee [21:30] then try to install the open source driver [21:30] if I do that I WILL be disconnected [21:30] EdSquareCat, did you go to "system -> preferences -> sound" and set it and test it from there. furthermore, check you volume levels. [21:30] how do I add keyboard shortcuts beyond what's listed in Keyboard Shortcuts? [21:30] gotcha [21:30] hischild, nope it doesn`t load at all I never leave the screen that shows the ubuntu logo [21:30] link to current ndiswrapper? [21:30] Makuseru: can you post your xorg.conf somewhere for me to look at? [21:31] chazco: but you know how sed works? [21:31] chris0: yes, just a second [21:31] danilo, are we talking about the installation of ubuntu or about the booting of it? [21:31] what do you mean? [21:31] danilo, and are you using the live cd or the alternate? [21:31] hspaans - To some extent, not very good with it though [21:31] EdSquareCat, if you open something in Totem, do you get an error or just you don't hear anything? [21:31] mo0n_sniper location of most current package? [21:31] for what? [21:31] totem? [21:32] the most recent build of ndiswrapper [21:32] EdSquareCat, any media player [21:32] chris0: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57267/ [21:32] thought so :} [21:32] hischikd I installed Ubuntu 7.10 through desktop CD, i386. It went through well but when choosing through Grub it doesnt load. It doesn`t load after the splash screen [21:32] you said there is a open source driver for your card [21:32] i just get no sound [21:32] no error [21:32] so everyone who's familiar with subversion just uses the command line? [21:32] oh oh oh [21:32] that [21:32] EdSquareCat, do you get an error about the sound device or no sound [21:32] EnvoyRising, yeah d0h, it's much better :-) [21:32] thanks a lot erUSUL. I got Avidemux working fine [21:32] hischild sorry [21:32] EdSquareCat, ok, no sound? check your volume levels [21:32] nope, i don't get an error, i just don't get sound [21:33] danilo, for what? [21:33] open source usually works better on linux ;) [21:33] later on I`m directed to a screen that says busy box (I incorrectly typed your name) [21:33] all levels are max or near max [21:33] hischild: eh. i generally like a frontend for this kind of thing. seeing what all files are available without having to type a command string is nifty [21:33] danilo, oh wait now i see ... you can use tab completion ... if you type his and then hit tab it fills in my name [21:34] EdSquareCat, ok, go to terminals and do "alsamixer" and change/check you volume levels there [21:34] terminal* [21:34] Makuseru: what resolution is the screen supposed to run at? === VividHazE is now known as Super [21:34] puxel: no problem [21:34] danilo, did it give you any error when you were installing it? [21:34] Is there an easy way to get the digital out working on an Audigy2? [21:34] hischild: cool. tks. Nope, no errors on the installation [21:34] ok gimme a second === VividHazE is now known as Ernie [21:35] chris0: my old moniter ran at 1280x1024 and it was a 14', this new one is a 16' so id like to run it at 1400x1050, [21:35] hischild: everytime i run a live CD also to try and troubleshoot I get a quick error message `can not allocate resources` [21:35] does anyone here have a BCM4306 802.11b/g? [21:35] i'm trying to get wireless working and it seems impossible [21:35] all up except for "LFE", whatever that is [21:35] Hello! Ive been trying to install ubuntu on my system, but the installation crashes all the time so i went with fedora core 8 instead. But i really hate this compated to ubuntu! Is it possible to somehow make fedora core 8 into ubuntu? [21:35] without reinstalling [21:35] Makuseru: I'd try copying your xorg.conf to a backup file somewhere and removing all of your resolutions except 1400x1050 and seeing what it does. [21:36] chris, alright, ill try that [21:36] says card: NVidia CK804 Chip:Realtek ALC850 rev 0 [21:36] grrr.. i need cvs not svn [21:36] it also might be relevant that i have surround sound [21:36] guys, keyboard question, currently I have to hit keys such as " with a space afterwards to get them to print, can I somehow change that so I just have to type "them once? [21:36] danilo, this error shows up shortly after grub? [21:36] Ubuntu + that onboard surrounds is a no go just FYI [21:37] crispy_chunks, unfortunaly no. [21:37] does wubi installer require the alternate iso's? [21:37] chris0: going to logout and restar X to see if it works [21:37] Makuseru: ok [21:37] well at least you cant get it to fully work [21:37] hischild: the bar on the splash screen never fills up, after a couple of mins I get a `busy box` command prompt [21:37] rawbeef: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/182716/+viewstatus [21:37] Ubuntu is Debian based where Fedora is RedHat (RPM) based [21:38] so i have the worst combo of sound cards for linux? [21:38] haha [21:38] probably :) [21:38] does any know of a easy way to config ldap [21:38] graphical way [21:38] well you can get sound out, but you cant make passthrough to spdif [21:38] don't know what that means [21:38] EnvoyRising, do you know from the top of your head how to remove quiet boot from grub on bootup? :P [21:38] hspaans: i'm sorry, i can't make head or tails of this :\ is there no solution? [21:39] i'd be happy with the tiniest bleep :} [21:39] hischild: you have to delete the line from the menu.lst file don't you? [21:39] besides the system beep [21:39] haha [21:39] followed any guides so far? [21:39] hischild: or is that too easy for you? :P [21:39] chris0: nothing [21:39] EnvoyRising, yeah.... well the thing is, danilo's box crashes at some point ... thus he has to edit in grub on boot up .... so yeah that'd be 2 easy :p [21:39] EdSquareCat: echo -e "\a" :) [21:40] EnvoyRising, he has to edit it on bootup ... which is where i'm lost which line/words it were [21:40] yes, a couple months ago i tried to fix it for a while [21:40] Makuseru: ok, I'm firing up my kubuntu box to look around [21:40] hischild: now I see that the install partitions (ext3 and swap) are inside an extended partition, does that matter? [21:40] chris0: ok, thanks [21:40] try to run alsamixer and turn down everything with IECxxxx [21:40] hischild: haven't a clue, but can get one.. [21:40] nothin happens [21:40] x = numbers [21:40] danilo, no ... a sec please while i'm looking which words you have to edit [21:40] prince_jammys [21:40] I'm new to ubuntu and I am having trouble with java plugin for firefox [21:40] danilo, you should include a /home directory in case you'd like to reinstall and not lose your data [21:41] !java | edvpc [21:41] edvpc: 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) [21:41] hischild: tks [21:41] rawbeef: short answer? put your money on something else for now [21:41] edvpc: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin [21:41] EnvoyRising, would be nice if you could :-) [21:41] quick question for the Ubuntu buffs, if a laptop is only W-Lan how is there any way for me to get it to detect normal/modern wi-fi connections? [21:41] mo0n_sniper available? [21:41] avis: tks, but it is a fresh install so no problem, it never opened [21:41] how to configure x.org to use the latest nVidia driver? coz i got blank screen after install it. [21:41] EdSquareCat: sorry, bad joke. typed it after you mentioned the tiniest bleep [21:41] I've installed it and have made sure that it is my default but it still doesn't work [21:41] Found my solution. For those with an Audigy card run alsamixer from shell and mute This turns off 'Optical Raw' [21:42] Makuseru: OK Got it. Go to K -> System Settings and click on "Monitor and Display" [21:42] oh haha! the bleep was so tiny i didn't even here it over the the smack of the "enter" key [21:42] kind of i'm trying to compile someting [21:42] chris0: alright [21:42] if anyone here uses/used wubi... can they pm me please? [21:42] jonnymac, W-Lan sounds like wireless lan which is the same thing as saying wi-fi.. [21:42] yes danilo i was just thinking about the long haul. with only swap and / if you wanted to reinstall you'd lose your data. / only needs to be about 12GB and the rest could go to /home [21:42] EnvoyRising, found it:-) [21:42] Makuseru: get into administrator mode and click the "Hardware" tab [21:42] avis: tks! [21:43] chris0: alright [21:43] EdSquareCat: so it works now? :p [21:43] hmm, just a friend has an ancient laptop (all of it in german) and she can't connect/detect to my wi-fi system [21:43] jonnymac, unless you're talking about an "aircard" from sprint, verizon etc.. [21:43] Hi, have got wireless networking with WPA working under 7.10 but need to restart networking manually after each reboot. Any ideas? Thx [21:43] Makuseru: Pick Monitor #1 and hit the Configure...button [21:43] hischild: where was it? [21:43] chris0: alright [21:43] hischild: i found where to specify the file to use, but not actually change it [21:43] yep, i'll just reprogram all my programs to use the system beep for everything! [21:43] jonnymac, do you have encription enabled on your lan? [21:43] it'll be wonderful :} [21:44] have you turned IEC playback down all the way? [21:44] Makuseru: if you know your monitor's manufacturer and model number, choose that, otherwise, go under Generic and pick your screen resolution [21:44] hischild: or was it update-grub? lol [21:44] and set IEC playback source to PCM? [21:44] her computer is strange to me, how can I use terminal command to show me all available wireless systems? [21:44] Steve176, i used wicd to solve all my network-manager problems. i noticed that things were more stable once i had a proper /etc/networking/interfaces file [21:44] danilo, please on the next boot on grub, press e. Go down to the kernel line. press e again to edit this line. Move to the end of the line and see if you see the words quiet or spash. Remove either one of these 2 if you see them. Press enter. Press b to boot up. Pay special attention when you boot wether you see any panics or other error messages. [21:44] Steve176: in /etc/network/interfaces do you have your interface set to auto? like auto eth1 [21:44] EdSquareCat: "beep" is your program then [21:44] :\ [21:44] EnvoyRising, no, it has to be done before you can boot into your box :-) [21:44] avis i tried wicd but couldn't get it working with WPA. [21:44] or WEP, just unencrypted [21:44] EnvoyRising, look at what i wrote danilo [21:44] yes [21:44] that driver for that soundcard is sooooooo bugged ;( [21:45] robdig auto wlan0 [21:45] chris0: ok, fount my manuf and model [21:45] Using a broadcom 43xx i'm able to connect to networks using wifiradar, but i can't get packets [21:45] ah! [21:45] jonnymac, that I don't know. You could in stall wifiradar.. for gui of same thing.. could also be that her wireless card needs a wrapper.. [21:45] very strange Steve176 mine works fine with WPA. be sure to have a good /etc/networking/interfaces file regardless [21:45] Steve176, what kind of wireless card do you have? [21:45] Makuseru: if it's a widescreen, make sure to select Widescreen in the Image Format dropdown. Now hit OK. [21:45] chris0: and i can choose bigger resolutions now [21:45] chris0: thank [21:45] chris0: you very much [21:45] hischild: does that really show all the grub options? i was under the impression that was only for kernel options [21:45] Makuseru: no problem [21:45] rawbeef: have you tried NDISwrapper'in the windows drivers? [21:45] avis, yes interface file is fine - works perfectly with manual restart [21:45] jonnymac, sudo apt-get install wifi-radar [21:45] Steve176: that should do it if wlan0 is your wireless card... [21:46] speeddemon, its one of those nightmare braodcoms [21:46] how do i set the iec playback source to pcm? [21:46] didnt see that [21:46] komputes: no [21:46] hischild: tks!! I`ll try it out now. [21:46] in that case Steve176 i dont know why you'd have to manually start it. sorry [21:46] problem for is that it's all in German, kay, will try that, thanks [21:46] hallo [21:46] rawbeef: broadcom is a little tricky at times [21:46] i installed ubuntu yesterday and i partitioned manually, i had one windows partition and one free space, so i created a / partition in the free space and sized it so that there would be 2048mb of free space behind it, i then mounted the 2048mb's of free space as swap so that i would be able to hibernate (my ram is 2048mb), after the system was installed i saw that the swap file wasn't 2048 but 1.9gb instead, how can this have happened? [21:46] EnvoyRising, it depends on which line you select from that list :-) you get like a few options where you can edit stuff ... and the kernel line shows you the things like quiet and splash [21:46] EnvoyRising, at least ... if i'm right on it [21:46] oh, i have a intel pro/wireless...now THATS a nightmare Steve176 [21:46] what??????????? [21:46] komputes: do people ever get it working? [21:46] lol. it can't be as bad as this pos [21:46] hischild: well i'll certainly have learned something if (when) you're right [21:46] jonnymac, there is a way to change to english.. I don't know how. someone here will. [21:47] EnvoyRising, :-) we'll know soon enough once danilo returns [21:47] hischild: I`ll try it out now and hopefully will come back with good news [21:47] hi, i'm new to irc as well as ubuntu... there are so many people on here, do I just ask questions in the main chat? [21:47] scunizi: that would work except she can't connect to the internet now :-[ woud an interface between the two ubuntu computers be simpler perhaps?l [21:47] Steve176, i picked up a airlink usb network adaptor, tiny little thing at Frys. was only $20 supports WPA but not WPA2. [21:47] abomb83: yes [21:47] abomb83: yes, but don't paste logs here-- feel free to ask away [21:48] anyone know how to switch the system language from german to english? If you do please direct it to johhymac [21:48] b4l74z4r: It's possible that it's calculating 1MB as 1024 instead of 1000, or that oneof your ram modules are faulty [21:48] anyone got an idea how to fix the x-org.conf i got blank screen after install the latest nVidia driver with my GeForce Go 8700M GT [21:48] anyone know how to install ubuntu 7.10 onto PS3 properly?... [21:48] abomb83, as you can probably see, we're preceding things with the names we're pointing the answers/questions to. This helps us as we can make out things easier :-) [21:48] avis right now that doesn't sound like such a bad idea. It's taken 3 days to get this far [21:48] jonnymac, you may not have to have internet connection to change the language.. maybe just a live cd. [21:48] Steve176, you want me usb adaptor model number ? i can fetch it real quic [21:48] well, I was trying to enable dual monitors when I somehow lost my xorg.conf as well as the backup [21:49] it's ok, I'm UK based it is probably different. I'll persist for a bit, then research something that's "known to work" [21:49] ok well, I might figure it out. I think the live cd is a good idea... [21:49] avis thanks though [21:49] rawbeef: broadcom has pages like this, make sur you have the coorcr model by doing "lspci" in a shell [21:49] albert: use nvidia-settings [21:49] rawbeef: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Broadcom_BCM4311_rev_01_(ndiswrapper) [21:50] i can only login in text mode.. thats the problem.. [21:50] how do you get out of text mode by the way? [21:50] albert: to reconfigure X, run the command sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [21:50] hello [21:51] I'm tryin to install Ubuntu 7.10 (PowerPC) onto my Playstation 3, and I'm following this guide; http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/custom/20071115-gutsy-ps3/ [21:51] hello timglock! [21:51] i have a question, sorry I am sure u see that all the time but [21:51] EdSquareCat, depends how you got there [21:51] is that the right site to go to? [21:51] how bout ctrl alt f2? [21:51] I am knowledgable so should be easy to fix, I want to run a script at start up that changes the mac address [21:51] illriginal, it should be, it is legit [21:51] illriginal, yes [21:51] ive created the script and it works when i do it, ./script [21:51] it runs it [21:52] illriginal: PowerPC was dropped at 6.06 AFAIK [21:52] thanks robdig, i copy that. [21:52] its a simple ifconfig hw ether.... then echo "success" etc [21:52] EdSquareCat, ctrl alt F7 but first CTRL D to logout [21:52] how do i make it run at boot? [21:52] timglock: you could add the script to /etc/rc.local [21:52] I added it to initrd and sessions [21:52] PriceChild... what exactly do i need to do with those two additional files?... do i just copy them to a specific folder once linux is installed..? [21:52] but it doesnt run [21:52] does anyone know the command that starts the Gnome panel network applet? [21:52] i think maybe because it needs me to put in password but i cant? [21:52] removed the wireless applet from the top panel, cant find it to put it back.. anybody know where it is? [21:52] why do i have to log out first? [21:53] hi - I am trying to figure out how to get a total number of files (recursively inside a folder) - any ideas? [21:53] chris0: i'm pretty sure it's nm-applet [21:53] illriginal, nothing... those are just patches that have been applied to get the desktop cd below [21:53] will it run tho? you need to be root to make these changes [21:53] sup [21:53] hi there [21:53] chris0, i believe the gnome applet is network-manager-gnome or gnome-network-manager dont remember [21:53] redharvest: BOOYA. Thanks! [21:53] timglock: if you run it from /etc/rc.local it will run as root [21:53] so i do sudo etc, but if i chmod the file to root, will it run at root level? [21:53] avis: its nm-applet [21:53] Can anyone point to to a newb tutorial for setting up BIND with my first domain? I think this is my last step to getting my dapper box ready to go [21:53] I'm overwhelmed by the number of virtualization solutions out there. Is there any preferred application one can recommend (for non-HW-supported virtualization)? [21:53] oops i was wrong :) [21:53] so i just add it to there and it will run? [21:53] avis: redharvest just got it for me Thz anyway [21:54] -.- i read it wrong [21:54] i will try it now droazen and get back to you [21:54] thanks Pricechild LOL [21:54] timglock: yes, but it will run at the very end of the boot process [21:54] :P [21:54] erm [21:54] so the mac will be assigned [21:54] but then changed before the gui loads? === chiriri_ is now known as Elda [21:54] hi - I am trying to figure out how to get a total number of files (recursively inside a folder) - any ideas? [21:55] timglock: the commands in rc.local run after all other boot scripts [21:55] does anyone know how to get the xorg.conf back? [21:55] is there anyway to get it to run sooner? [21:55] releod, you can use gnome's nautilus if you right click the folder they are in and do properties. [21:55] <_alien_> can somebody help me, how to install mysql ? [21:55] avis: oops.. I am in terminal right now, no monitor [21:55] I recently updated the xserver-xorg-intel driver, and now the graphics are running considerably slower... is there a way to roll back? or at least check exactly what was updated? [21:55] timglock: yeah you can manually add a symlink to it to one of the runlevels [21:55] .....................................................0................ [21:56] releod: find . -type f | wc -l [21:56] .0. [21:56] 00 [21:56] and here my problem: rootpath=/cdromrw;target=iso;correcting md5sums for testcd...; writing imagefile iso...; size of boot image is 4 sectors ->no emulation; gensioimage: no space left on device. cannot fwrite 32768*1 [21:56] thanks hspaans [21:56] timglock: if you want to have it run prior to the interface coming up, think you can put it in /etc/network/interfaces. look at man interfaces, and search for pre-up to see if it meets your needs [21:56] any idea?? [21:56] nm [21:57] hspaans: does that include folders as well? [21:57] releod: directories? no [21:57] droazen could you tell me how quickly? how would i add /home/tim/mac to runlevel 3 is it? [21:57] nm-applet doesnt work, any other ideas ? [21:57] rod ill try that too i think [21:57] releod: only files [21:57] robdig* [21:57] timglock: the name you give the symlink determines when the script runs during boot [21:57] _reload_: try:: find . -type f -print | wc -l (should work even you have file names with spaces) [21:58] is there any program in ubuntu that'll monitor system temps for me? [21:58] my fans seem to be going nuts.. [21:58] timglock: notice how in /etc/rc3.d all the links begin with S and then a number? [21:58] mrpockets: I use gkrellm [21:58] timglock: the lower the number you give it the sooner it will run in the boot process [21:58] Can anyone point to to a newb tutorial for setting up BIND with my first domain? I think this is my last step to getting my dapper box ready to go [21:58] mrpockets: sudo apt-get install sensord [21:59] jarrettgreen_: read the arm document its on the isc site [21:59] can someone tell me how to rollback a package updated through apt-get?

[22:00] i will try and look it up [22:00] timglock: ln -s [22:00] jarrettgreen_: isc.org they maintain bind [22:00] I'm trying to upgrade from Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty to Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy and I run the command update-manager -c and the bar says Downloading files something about preparing the Upgrade and when the bar is at the middle, it goes out and nothing happens!!! [22:01] i wasn't sure if anyone responded to me, i had the question about xorg.conf [22:01] timglock: put your actual script in /etc/init.d [22:01] error : keyboard not found : press any key [22:01] abomb83, i'm sorry, could you repeat your question? [22:01] abomb83: what is the question? [22:01] timglock: then create a link to it in the appropriate runlevel directory /etc/rc#.d [22:01] thanks hspaans [22:02] sudo ln -s /home/tim/macchange /etc/rc3.d/s1macchanger ? droazen [22:02] timglock: and name the link according to how early you want the script to run in the boot process [22:02] timglock: yes that is the syntax [22:02] Squawk, i think you need libdvdcss2 and libdvdread3. you -might- i'm not sure need to add medibuntu for that. it also helps to have gstreamer0.10-* and w32codecs installed [22:02] timglock: but you should make sure the script is owned by root [22:02] sure, i lost my xorg.conf. [22:02] abomb83: there are some backups in the same directory as xorg.conf :: you could try one of those. they are in the form of : xorg.conf.1 xorg.conf.2, etc or xorg.conf.blahblah [22:02] ubududes and dudettes, I was here earlier looking for a way to batch edit a bunch of images... may I recommend to your attentino phatch. Dear lord does this program rock... http://photobatch.stani.be/ here's the link on the forums that started it all http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=466598 If you're looking for a way to edit hundreds of photos recursively in a few clicks (drag and drop!) may I recommend this to y [22:02] i did chown root macchanger [22:02] I was wonderign how t oget i tback [22:03] so yeah it is now [22:03] avis, thanks man, currently reading up a few threads in the forums, install-css jobbie [22:03] Guys, how to remove the Ubuntu Splash image during boot? [22:03] ok thanks [22:03] thats what i said at the beginning, the script must be made by root so it will run with roos privs right [22:03] abomb83: are you on a terminal? [22:03] does anyone know the command that starts the Gnome panel network applet? nm-applet didnt work [22:03] thats why if i did it with my username it would not work right droazen [22:03] i'll try to copy them [22:03] <_alien_> can somebody help me, how to install mysql ? [22:03] hspaans: do you know a way to list all unique file-types in a folder -R ? [22:03] timglock: right, it does need to be owned by root [22:03] (file extensions) [22:03] does the wubi installer require the alternate iso's? [22:03] can someone help me setup dual monitors on my x800 ? [22:03] ok ill try this and get back to you [22:03] timglock: it should work provided you put it in the right runlevel dir [22:04] releod: filetypes? [22:04] timglock: and provided it's not loading TOO early [22:04] abomb83: copy one of the backups (the most recent) into xorg.conf --- to avoid making a huge mess, back them all up first (maybe to your home directory) [22:04] timglock: eg., it might depend on something earlier in the boot process.... [22:04] I'm trying to upgrade from Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty to Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy and I run the command update-manager -c and the bar says Downloading files something about preparing the Upgrade and when the bar is at the middle, it goes out and nothing happens!!!

[22:04] yes, things are running a little slow, that is why i'm a bit slow to respond [22:04] nixnoob: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=221174 [22:04] multi user and gui right?

Repeat on a single line please [22:05] hischild: i made 2048mb of swap space with the partitioner, but after ubuntu was installed the swap is just 1.9gb [22:05] releod: its untested [22:06] and here my problem: rootpath=/cdromrw;target=iso;correcting md5sums for testcd...; writing imagefile iso...; size of boot image is 4 sectors ->no emulation; gensioimage: no space left on device. cannot fwrite 32768*1 [22:06] timglock: i think it's actually runlevel 2 [22:06] b4l74z4r, that's normal. It will still be 2gb [22:06] timglock: for multi-user mode with gui [22:06] !lubi [22:06] Sorry, I don't know anything about lubi - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [22:06] urgh [22:06] EnvoyRising, some weird colors on my monitor presumably because some rediculous mode was set or some incompatible refresh rate [22:06] b4l74z4r, it's actually 1,99 probably which is rounded down to 1,9 [22:06] ok droazen [22:06] hischild: so i will be able to hibernate with 2048mb of ram? [22:06] hi all [22:06] i want to burn an iso with the bash, but it does not write it on the usb-device [22:07] will ever compiz work with xinerama? [22:07] b4l74z4r, hibernating writes to your hard disk, not to your swap [22:07] b4l74z4r, if you mean the mode i'm thinking you mean [22:07] yes [22:07] Anyone using a daemon called preload?

[22:08] hongo_, you might have to do sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver.xorg but be sure to backup your /etc/X11/xorg.conf in case your not familiar with it [22:08] Guys, how to remove the Ubuntu Splash image during boot? [22:08] I did that also [22:09] leblinux: permanantly or temporarily? [22:09] because my monitor was not detected right [22:09] has anyone had any luck with getting soundblaster x-fi cards working in gutsy? [22:09] permanent. I would like to read whats going thru [22:09] hischild: no good... I was able to do as you said but got an error [22:09] but now, I fixed the monitor issue, but have this new problem [22:09] danilo, what error? [22:09] is it possible to divorce an ubuntu install from all the ubuntu-ness and be left with a debian system? [22:09] leblinux: remove the word "splash" from /boot/grub/menu.lst [22:10] how do you get lilo? [22:10] stdin, oh, do I have to update grub after that? [22:10] as in get it to work [22:10] smegzor: some bit for kde, but gcc becomes smarter. its not worth the trouble imho [22:10] @hischild any idea?? [22:10] b4l74z4r, i -heard- but cannot verify that its supported in hardy which is to be released relatively soon [22:10] leblinux: open up /boot/grub/menu.lst, scroll down a bit to the # defoptions line, remove "queiet" and "splash" from that line, then save, and sudo update-grub [22:10] Iĺl make a script and change resolution everytime it reboots [22:10] leblinux: not if you manually remove all instances of "splash" [22:10] dev/disk/by-uuid/20e9959f-fafe-45a-bda1-b1fd7361b8d5 does not exist. Dropping to shell. Busy box [22:10] l [22:10] hi there. i have an external lg dvd drive and it doesnt appear in my computer in ubuntu 7.10, how can i mount it or what do i have to do to access it ? thanks [22:11] RedCyper, if you're speaking to a person, precede the answer/question with the name. [22:11] alright thank you stdin and Flannel [22:11] EnvoyRising: No. See the relationship between ubuntu and debian, as explained on ubuntu's website. [22:11] how do i sort out a grub error 21? [22:11] EnvoyRising: sure it is. Its much easier to just install debian fresh though. [22:11] Flannel: That wasn't my understanding. The site says that some apps aren't compatible with the debian releases. [22:12] RedCyper, i'll try to help you out, but please, repeat the question on a single line with my name on it so it gets a color [22:12] ... or did I misunderstand? [22:12] @hischild and here my problem: rootpath=/cdromrw;target=iso;correcting md5sums for testcd...; writing imagefile iso...; size of boot image is 4 sectors ->no emulation; gensioimage: no space left on device. cannot fwrite 32768*1 [22:12] storm-zen: no, they're not. He'd have to take his ubuntu release, change his sources.list, and then do a lot of manual installation of stuff. [22:12] Flannel: i figured as much. debian just doesn't get my wifi config correct, and in order to do it manually i need to have a wired connection, which i don't [22:12] Flannel, is there a way to customize/replace the splash picture with another one? [22:12] storm-zen: It's doable, although not clean or automated in any way [22:12] leblinux: Of course [22:13] RedCyper, it appears that the place that command is trying to write to is full [22:13] EnvoyRising, and then when you get a kernel up grade it will die so work it out then [22:13] @hischild try to burn an iso to an usb-device [22:13] Flannel: which i new about. i just didn't know if ubuntu did something funky with the kernel that rendered it an impossible task [22:13] Flannel: Ok... so, in other words, it would be pretty nasty, and in some ways, a regression, right? [22:13] EnvoyRising: ah, if you go ubuntu -> debian, it'll be identical to just using debian, so it wont help any [22:13] Flannel, where do I put the picture? [22:13] ompaul: grr.. thats the part i was worried about [22:13] I deactivated Nautilus since it is quite ressource intensive and I never ever use the desktop manager. Though after doing this I just see a black background. When I open gnome-appearance-properties the background is shown though (just open it not setting anything). How can I activate the background by a command (which I will then start during each session)? [22:13] RedCyper, why don't you extract it to the usb stick? [22:13] storm-zen: Yeah. Given enough clout, you can make any linux into any other linux, if you're sadistic. [22:13] hischild yes, i am able to read ;) [22:14] EnvoyRising, you got working wireless - you want none working wireless - go for it [22:14] Flannel: Got it. Thanks. (Wanted to make sure that I understood. ) :) [22:14] hischild i tried, but failed [22:14] hischild: dev/disk/by-uuid/20e9959f-fafe-45a-bda1-b1fd7361b8d5 does not exist. Dropping to shell. Busy box [22:14] ompaul: i can do without the sardonic comments, thanks [22:14] sorry to ask this, anyone gota link to playing dvd's in dapper? helping out a friend and I'm stumped [22:14] danilo, aah that explains a whole lot more. It appears that your UUID has changed and grub is confused about it. [22:14] I gtg reboot to get nvidia glx working. be back in a bit. [22:14] Flannel, where do I put the new picture? [22:15] EnvoyRising, just choose a different theme for your gnome and change the gdm a bit [22:15] hello! i installed 7.10 on my laptop, but i hear no sound. soundcard is recognized, the mixer works, the apps play back sound, but i hear nothing, nor through speakers, nor through headphones... what's wrong? [22:15] @hischild i tried to mount the usb-device but it was not able to write on it [22:15] !sound > Hal9000 (please check message from bot) [22:15] Hal9000, run: alsamixer thru terminal [22:15] ompaul: its not the theme i am uncomfortable with [22:15] jonnymac: try vlc [22:15] Hi I can't get 3d acceleration working. Can someone help me. It's a Compaq Evo N410c. http://pastebin.com/m725495a9 for lspci and xorg.conf [22:15] @hischild i also type chmod -R +w /hello01 [22:16] @hischild but it does not work [22:16] I get those errors when trying to log on the user account in gdm: (process:5945): Gtk-WARNING **: This process is currently running setuid or setgid.

[22:16] danilo your not able to boot? [22:16] anyone here familiar with the jmicron bug? [22:16] LP, ifconfig [22:16] danilo: you sure there'sno need for additional lib installs with vlc? [22:16] danilo, you have to reinstall grub. [22:16] !grub | danilo [22:16] danilo: 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 [22:16] Hal9000, action it [22:16] LP: ifconfig [22:16] ompaul: the metapackages are quite a nuicance, i miss having sid repos, etc [22:16] jonnymac: I play dvds well on it [22:16] @hischild i typed mount /dev/sda1 /hello01 [22:16] maybe things will be better after hardy [22:16] the interface isn t listed in ifconfig [22:17] I'm trying to upgrade from Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty to Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy and I run the command update-manager -c and the bar says Downloading files something about preparing the Upgrade and when the bar is at the middle, it goes out and nothing happens!!! [22:17] @hischild i think it's mount [22:17] RedCyper, what error does it give you? [22:17] ;or [22:17] yeah but this is dapepr and it's in german so I can't find anything on it [22:17] dapper [22:17] if i wanna launch a program in counsol, but be able to close the counsel window without the program quitting [22:17] how do i do this?

[22:18] ASTURIAS, have you tried the gui approach? [22:18] OmiKrOn: nothing is muted [22:18] LP nothing show when you do sudo ip a ? [22:18] leblinux: that wont keep it running when he logs out (or closes the terminal) [22:18] leblinux, so if i wanna launch gkrellm [22:18] danilo, you can use supergrub to just fix grub instead of having to start all over again [22:18] i type gkrellm& [22:18] gui approach? [22:18] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57269/ here [22:18] need help.... [22:18] hischild an i am root [22:18] mrpockets, gkrellm & [22:18] krav3n, if you dont state your issues, we cant help you. [22:19] RedCyper, i mean with mount. Does it give any error when you tried to mount it? [22:19] thx amenado [22:19] ASTURIAS, as in open the update manager via the menu? [22:19] got it [22:19] thanks bro [22:19] Flannel, it'll background it [22:19] yes [22:19] in adept package manager. a package is "slapd" is it the same as in http://www.openldap.org/software/download/ ? should i download slapd instead. ? [22:19] hischild: cool, I`ll try supergrub. Is it simple enough process? [22:19] is there a virus scanner for ubuntu? [22:19] how do I change resolution from the command line? [22:19] help please === benzs_s is now known as benzss [22:19] @hischild no error @ll [22:19] ASTURIAS, it still fails? [22:19] !virus | krav3n [22:19] krav3n: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [22:19] and i have also have a question? [22:19] RedCyper, type mount and see if your usb stick is in that list [22:20] Hal9000, then the only way to do get it sorted is to do the info gathering that the bot told you about and go to #alsa [22:20] danilo, yes it is very simple. Follow the onscreen instructions and you can't go wrong [22:20] i want to install xubuntu [22:20] I can only see updates for Feisty but not the notice of the release to upgrade that is why i use the update-manager -c command [22:20] krav3n, so go to #xubuntu [22:20] krav3n, get it from the www.xubuntu.com site [22:20] ok [22:20] A while back someone told me about a command that would list what programs were holding open the device file for the audio system, but now I've forgotten it. Any ideas what that command was? [22:20] is it still the recommeded way to convert to a command line system is to edit /etc/inittab? Maybe i'm searching for the wrong thing, but the last reference I see is from warty [22:20] hischild: tks!! [22:20] ompaul: ok thank you [22:20] so how about my question [22:20] danilo, you're welcome [22:20] mdmkolbe|work-> lsof [22:20] anyone who knows what device the serial port is? to my knolage it should be /dev/ttyS0 but it doesnt seem to work! [22:20] thats odd... with the live cd, sound worked... but once installed, it doesnt hehe [22:20] is there a virus scanner for ubuntu? [22:21] @hischild i used the midnightcommander and it list the files and path on the usb device [22:21] Hal9000, check that all the levels are up in alsamixer , and make sure your user has permision to use the sound device [22:21] and is there a way to make a partition on a disk where the system is installed? [22:21] coax, i suppose it could be /dev/ttyS1 depending on which port you are plugged into [22:21] Hal9000, restricted drivers might also be an issue [22:21] @hischild it'S mount; isn't it?? [22:21] RedCyper, please type mount in a terminal and see wether your usb device is located there and with which path [22:21] is abiword dead? [22:21] ASTURIAS, install all of the updates for your current release, and the upgrade version should appear [22:21] krav3n, you need to use the live cd to rezise it [22:21] Pelo: im using restricted drivers for wlan and graphics [22:22] whats the application to change resolution from command line? [22:22] amenado: thx, that was exactly what I was looking for [22:22] It appears running the command,but that thing fails [22:22] the Updates are more than 160 [22:22] how do i do that? [22:22] mdmkolbe|work-> you're welcome [22:22] abiword hasnt been updated since 2006, is the project being discontinued? [22:22] hello.. got a question here.. is the formatted default disk for linux in fat32? [22:22] Hal9000, if your sound card is also a nvidia or ati chipset that might also be an issue but what do I know [22:22] hi [22:22] i have a cd for ubuntu [22:22] abiword hasnt been updated since 2006, is the project being discontinued? [22:22] ASTURIAS, do this, sudo apt-get -d upgrade [22:22] MasterMel-> nope [22:22] how can i setup multiple IPs on one interface? [22:22] Thnaks, I'll try that [22:22] Pelo: sound card is from connexant / intel hd audio [22:22] Thanks** [22:22] how do i resize it? [22:22] krav3n, that will be good for modifing your partitions [22:23] pepsi-> you have to use ip command, man ip [22:23] just insert the cd? [22:23] and after that? [22:23] krav3n, boot the live cd , goto , lmenu > system> admin > gnome partitton editor [22:23] amenado: ok so it is possible to read ffiles that are bigger then 4 gig? [22:23] ASTURIAS, that is download only - after it is all downloaded you can do it again without the -d and let it install [22:23] i'll try that later [22:23] I've just enabled compiz because I want to see what all the fuss is about. ( I'm running gutsy. ) Is there some sort of FAQ that explains what I need to be looking for (as far as what is different than a non-compiz display) ? [22:23] !sound > Hal9000 check for a private message windows with instructions from ubotu [22:23] thanks [22:23] Ok, new question. Given a process id number how do I figure out which window that is for? (I've got multiple copies of evince running and I need to figure out which one matches a perticular process id) [22:24] MasterMel-> do you really want to? you got enuff memory to hold it? [22:24] how to changr screen resolution form the command line?

[22:25] pepsi-> you may have to do eth0:1 [22:26] pepsi, oh wait, using dhcp, i dont think you can, but if you use ip add ... or ifconfig ...it will work [22:26] Pelo: ??? How does setting the "Visual Effects" help me find the window matching a particular proc id? [22:26] amenado: i've tried streaming but that didnt work becaus ethe file was to big.. now i just want to copy the entire 4.4 gigs.. but after 3.6 gig i get an error it cant be copied.

( I've enabled it successfully... I can tell because it does something very strange when a window is dragged. ) [22:27] amenado: ok :) [22:27] mdmkolbe|work, the lovely ppl in #compiz-fusion might be able to help you more on this [22:27] storm-zen, wobbly windows is enabled :) === andrius is now known as andriuslaurinena [22:28] mdmkolbe|work, apparenly my statement was meant for storm [22:28] screw it, if i'm going to break my system, i'll do it the right way -- hardy alpha here i come [22:28] storm-zen, goto menu > system > prefs > appearance, last tab , click the customize button, you'll see all the pluggins that are available [22:28] storm-zen - take a look at http://ulyssesonline.com/2007/10/25/compiz-fusion-keyboard-shortcuts/ [22:28] Anyone know how to set up an NFS4 server?

[22:30] mrpockets, search for mythtv in the forum www.ubuntuforums.org [22:30] is there a way to rename an interface? [22:30] like eth2 -> eth1 ? [22:30] Pelo, i have, and read much on it also. I cant seem to install it let alone configure it for my card [22:30] mdmkolbe|work: don't know how to go from PID to window, but you can run the command xprop | grep NET_WM_PID. It will turn your cursor into a plus sign, click on the window in question, and it will give you the top PID... [22:30] I using Maple11 that does not work well with compiz. Is there a way to disable compiz temporally while I use that program and the get it back again? [22:30] i was weighing the options of going further into myth TV, or looking into trying to use Wine [22:30] storm-zen, I can'T tell you what it is exactly in englsh my os is in french, the last option in the destkop effect tab, there is a button to the right of it , click that [22:31] howdy folks - just installed mysql but can't get to connect to it with a query browser, what should I check? [22:31] I have a question, sometimes when I load programs like matlab or thunderbird that it doesn't maximize to the entire screen, part of the window such as the entire "x" box is off the screen to the right, how do I make it so that it always opens to maximize or at least within the monitor space?

[22:31] luckyshot: you could use SSH or VNC [22:31] mrpockets, you should be able to isntall mythtv from the repos ( at least a 3rd party one), the video card bit is someting else I am not famililar with [22:31] WTF [22:31] i just shut the laptop down [22:31] power off [22:32] then again up [22:32] !ohmy | Hal9000 [22:32] Hal9000: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

[22:32] oh my god [22:32] soto: make sure you loaded all modules needed [22:32] later folks [22:32] luckyshot: not that I know of... but a simple apt-get should do it. Let me see if I can find something. [22:32] found [22:32] theXorcist, okay thanks [22:32] after mysql install I can't connect to it with a query browser? [22:33] keep getting error 2003 [22:33] anyone familiar with the jmicron bug?

[22:33] danand: No. Just found out that I need to do that now. [22:33] can log in at the command line [22:33] luckyshot: for SSH you can "sudo apt-get install ssh openssh-server" [22:33] hspaans: Installation should load the modules automatically no? [22:33] CorruptTerrorist, let me help you here - you either got it or you not got it you called that out several hours ago [22:33] and you since seemed to write to your disks [22:33] theXorcist, okay let me try that, sec [22:33] anyone? [22:33] soto: only if you run Sun Solaris 10 [22:33] luckyshot: that will install a secure shell client, which will give you SHELL access to your computer from another computer (like bash) [22:34] Bodsda, set the camera to work as a usb mass storage device and not ptp. that way you wil be able to access files other than photos. [22:34] ompaul, what? [22:34] luckyshot: you'll need openssh-server on the computer you're going to be SSHing to [22:34] Bodsda, it will work as a usb drive [22:34] hspaans: I'm not running kerberos. What modules should I be looking for? [22:34] CorruptTerrorist, the bug in question - write it into google and have a look [22:34] luckyshot: and keep in mind, this is only going to give you command-line access [22:34] theXorcist, i want remote acess though [22:34] kostkon, any idea how i would go about doing that? is it a setting on the camara? [22:34] ompaul, i have, several different ways to no avail [22:34] !egroupware [22:34] Does anybody know of a good program to look for deleted files on ext3 partitions? [22:34] Sorry, I don't know anything about egroupware - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [22:34] !anyone > stroogle please read pm from ubotu [22:34] Bodsda, yes, check you camera menus and configurations for such an option [22:35] luckyshot: this is one way of remote access. Another way (which will let you use GUI) is by using VNC or RDP [22:35] kostkon, cheers dude, will check now [22:35] !egroupware [22:35] Bodsda, :) [22:35] luckyshot: let me look up the info for RDP/VNC [22:35] is there a way to rename an interface? in my iftab I've set "eth1" but it's being called eth2... I've tried "ip link set dev eth2 name eth1", after reboot nothing has changed [22:35] theXorcist, okay, thanks [22:35] Anyone able to tell me how I can decrease the power/effectiveness to my ATI video card on a laptop? Like how the catalyst control center could do for windows? [22:35] storm-zen - ok. you should get a new listing under the system -> preferences menu called advanced desktop appearance settings. that will take you into main config for compiz. [22:35] gopp, if the bot doesnt respond to a command in question the first time, it could be lagging, be patient :) [22:35] MasterMel-> I cant seem to find a bookmarked site regarding 4gig size files [22:35] soto: something with nfs, nfs_acl, lockd if I'm correct (I don't use Linux NFS in production) [22:36] I'd like to make .3gp files for my cellular, but ffmpeg in ubuntu doesn't have the correct codecs [22:36] danand: Ok.

[22:37] hspaans - right, how? [22:37] zcat[1], iom usb [22:37] btw any idea how to playback wma in ubuntu? it searches for codecs (like it did for mp3) but doesnt find any... [22:37] Anyone able to tell me how I can decrease the power/effectiveness to my ATI video card on a laptop?

[22:37] !test [22:37] Scunizi: Huh ? How does this fix ffmpeg ? [22:37] luckyshot: you'll want those on both computers, the one you're viewing and the one you're viewing from [22:38] theXorcist, okay, whats better vnc or rdp? [22:38] luckyshot: VNC is used more often. [22:38] MrMist, sorry.. I came in late to the converstation.. thought you were just looking for the codec [22:38] soto: also check if usermapping works (it should work now if I'm not mistaken) [22:38] ompaul: am i supposed to get something on !wma? didnt get anyhting [22:38] hischild, ubotu hasn't said anything.. got a URL? can I just chuck the ISO onto my USB drive somehow? [22:38] theXorcist, okay, do you happened to have the rdp one too? [22:38] !wma [22:38] vnc *can* be more secure [22:38] /msg ubotu etiquette [22:38] okay [22:38] !install [22:38] luckyshot: You'll need the IP of the computer you want to view, and that computer will need to have the server installed [22:38] zcat[1], stupid bot ... i'll look, a second [22:38] Bodsda, hmmm. do a "lsusb" in a terminal and see if it is recognized [22:38] can anyone help me change permissions for an external hard drive? [22:38] which channel do i go to for help with hardy? [22:38] theXorcist, okay [22:38] Hal9000, bot seems lagged https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats [22:39] luckyshot, both are built into ubuntu .. use Terminal Server client for access to both. [22:39] this locking up on me is driving me crazy [22:39] luckyshot: I'm going to try to redirect you to a tutorial, because I've pretty much reached the limit of my VNC/RDP knowledge. [22:39] zcat[1], https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick [22:39] also I left my laptop power supply at home so I have an hour and 20 minutes to figure this out :) [22:39] theXorcist, okay [22:39] ompaul, is it with ide drives only? [22:39] kostkon, hhhmm, strange,.,.when it was told to be a camera it shows up in lsusb, if i tell it to be a disk, i doesnt, but the camera says "Establishing a connection..." [22:39] can anyone please give me some advice - i'm looking for a really light weight irc client with a simple gui - any ideas anyone [22:39] CorruptTerrorist, it is gone a long time ago [22:40] mookid, xchat, pidgin [22:40] zcat[1], you seen that link? [22:40] Bodsda, hmm. yes, that's strange. [22:40] ompaul, so it's fixed entirely? [22:40] light weight? :P [22:40] hischild, reading it now.. [22:40] mookid: empathy or pidgin [22:40] it should not be an issue as far as I am aware [22:40] luckyshot: here's a place to start - http://lifehacker.com/software/how-to/set-up-vnc-on-ubuntu-in-four-steps-317125.php [22:40] kostkon, the camera doesnt seem to be connecting to the computer [22:40] zcat[1], good :-) [22:40] hspaans: Sorry, I'm not too familiar with NFS. The UIDs for files are not mapped to user names if that's what you mean. [22:41] anybody have the hardy desktop iso handy? im trying to install fro usb, using alt-iso but need the vmlinuz+initrd from desktop so i can read the vfat fs on the usb stick to mount it as a dir for the installer to see.... [22:41] also when I say USB drive I really mean 1G mp3 player :) [22:41] theXorcist, okay [22:41] ompaul, one last question... what if if doesn't work... how do i access windows? [22:41] soto: no usermapping is when user soto is on server uid 1001 and on client 1002. usermapping corrects this [22:41] this might get a little weird [22:41] luckyshot: hope it helps -- i gotta get back to studying for school :P [22:42] Bodsda, hmmmm. if you use a usb hub, try to connect it directly to the pc. [22:42] kostkon, k, 1 sec [22:42] CorruptTerrorist, nothing to do with it [22:42] soto: don't know if it works correctly now on linux, but I only use NFS on Solaris [22:42] zcat[1]: which release of ubuntu are you installing? [22:42] !ntfs > CorruptTerrorist (read the message from the bot and understand it before you ask any more) [22:42] amx109, hardly hereyet === theXorcist is now known as iceschade [22:42] no message [22:42] zcat[1]: using the desktop or the alternative? [22:42] zcat[1], can't wait for those 20 year batteries [22:43] CorruptTerrorist, please wait a moment or two [22:43] !ntfs > CorruptTerrorist [22:43] amx109, probably alt, I would think [22:43] nope [22:43] CorruptTerrorist, wait the bot is not here atm [22:43] hspaans - there is an entry in /etc/mysql/my.cnf that specifies the msyql.sock file which is in the right place i think [22:43] You guys do realize that the bot is not here. [22:43] :) [22:43] ouch [22:43] which bot? ubotu? [22:43] lol [22:44] zcat[1], ive just tried using alt. and its not going to work with an install from a vfat fs usb thing [22:44] yes. [22:44] iceschade, yes :( [22:44] it greeted me when I came in [22:44] Hi @ all [22:44] kostkon, ok, i get a dialog box, asking if i want to import photo's (which i dont want to do) [22:44] maybe... no it told someone else not to cuss [22:44] hspaans: The UIDs turn out to be the same on both systems but the file owner on the mounted NFS partition is some other UID. [22:44] hspaans - does that answer the question? [22:44] hell [22:44] iceschade, it's not here atm :( doesnt's how for me [22:44] zcat[1], seems they left out the kernel module for reading vfat filesystems. u get to the point in the install where it tries to mount the cdrom drive and fails. [22:44] wow, it IS gone. [22:44] amx109, I'll reformat it ext2 or iso if need be.. [22:44] yeah guys we said that already, hehe [22:45] stroogle: look for the keyword "port" [22:45] :D [22:45] Bodsda, you get the dialog even if usb disk mode? nevertheless, do you see it in nautilus now as a drive? [22:45] even in* [22:45] right... off to boot ubuntu under wubi [22:45] its down for a few minutes, needs a little rest time, asking it stuff gets it tired after a while ;) [22:45] adios everyone. [22:45] soto: then it should be fine [22:45] kostkon, ah, yes,,cool,.,.cheers dude,.thanks alot [22:45] stroogle: keyword "bind-address" is the other one [22:46] Bodsda, nice! :) [22:46] You know when you shut the lid of your laptop, the backlighting turns off. How do I query when that happens? I'm writing a shell script that would like to use that information. Thanks! [22:46] zcat[1], was just a headsup. im sat here in the middle of an install hoping someone around here will chuck me the files i need. really dont wanna d/l the desktop iso for two files [22:46] I try to share my internet connection with other computers in a LAN does someone know how to do this i'm trying now for about 5 hours [22:46] hspaans: Alright, thanks for your help [22:46] kostkon, dont suppose you know anything about 'mobile phone games' do you? [22:46] soto: np [22:46] !hi | all [22:47] amx109, what two files? [22:47] where is bot? [22:47] amenado: ok no problem.. i will google for it asswell.. thnx [22:47] speeddemon8803, hey dude [22:47] crap...still not in this room :P [22:47] it came in beginners so i know its back somewhere. [22:47] Hi guys, So I have vista installed right now and I want to install ubuntu but I don't want to get rid of windows for now [22:47] CorruptTerrorist, the bot is called 'ubotu' [22:47] Hey bodsda :) [22:47] So there's two options [22:47] Bodsda, i know [22:47] and the default seems to erase everything and install on the main harddrive index [22:47] Suhail, try to keep it all one a single line :-) [22:47] Bodsda, not really. do you mean java (j2me) games? do you have a problem installing them, e.g. using bluetooth? I actually only know how to program in j2me [22:47] hello world, I just try Irc to day. [22:47] And the other is manual [22:48] !wubi | Suhail [22:48] heh [22:48] phail [22:48] The bot is down for some maintenance i believe. [22:48] Suhail, you need to either use two HDDs [22:48] or two partitions [22:48] zcat[1]: vmlinuz and initrd.img [22:48] hold on guys, it will be back in a few minutes im sure :) [22:48] <__mikem> CorruptTerrorist: ubotu aint here right now [22:48] Suhail, you could use wubi if you wanted to test for a while [22:48] Bodsda, but I ran j2me only on a palm pda [22:48] but dualbooting on one HDD if you've already got windows installed is a sonuvabitch [22:48] kostkon, the games that are preloaded on my phone are (.jad) formats, do you know what it stands for, and where i can get (.jad) games? [22:48] boa noite [22:48] I want to decrease the power my video card uses, how can I do that? [22:48] mrpockets: I have 1 partion and have freespace on it. I want to install ubuntu towards that free space. [22:49] Suhail, how much free space? [22:49] 30 GB [22:49] then you'll need to reallocate that freespace into a seperate partition [22:49] hspaans - it has port 3306 which is right i think, and socket = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock, the bind-address is the localhost 127.0.0.1 [22:49] Suhail, then you can just install it. be sure during installation NOT to remove the partition. [22:49] how can i check whether an ntp server is active or not? [22:49] Honestly, everytime I enter the partition utility for the ubuntu install package I get scared of ruining my Windows =() [22:49] hischild, ? [22:50] mrpockets: Dual boot..It is not hard at all... Please watch the language [22:50] Suhail, there's nothing to be afraid off. [22:50] mrpockets, what's up? [22:50] Bodsda, actually they are java games. you could find many on the net, although most of them for a price (through the maker of the game or a mobile provider). In most cases you just need to upload them to the phone. [22:50] if hes got one partition with Vista on it and 30 gigs free space, he cant install Ubuntu onto the freespace of that partition... [22:50] stroogle: and skip-networking has been commented out? then "netstat -na | grep 3306" should show something listening [22:50] mrpockets, why not? [22:50] ok....this is weird... [22:50] Bodsda, in most cases wil consist of one jad and one jar file, if I'm right [22:50] hischild: When I run the install it has the default checked off but it seems like it's install ubuntu on the 90 GB of space I have with windows on it will just erase it... [22:50] * speeddemon8803 looks around [22:51] Suhail, a second please [22:51] kostkon, ok, so can all modern('ish) phones handle java games, and do wou know where i could find some documentation on this? [22:51] mrpockets, why would he not be able to install ubuntu? [22:51] #ubuntu-br [22:51] amx109, http://kiwiarena.net.nz/files/hardy/ -- hardy a5 i386 desktop cd mounted by loopback, grab whatever you need. [22:51] first of all, its most likely an NTFS partition... [22:52] It is. [22:52] mrpockets, i'm sure it's an ntfs partition vista is isntalled on === AHA_ is now known as AHA [22:52] right... [22:52] Is there an aptitude console command that will show all installed packages that have an update available after doing an aptitude update? (I'm used to a GUI graphical update manager showing what packages have updates, but now need to use only console) [22:52] mrpockets, but that doesn't make a difference at all, since he installs it on the _free_ space he has, which is a total of 30gb [22:52] yeah [22:52] Hi I'm in panic here, new to Ubuntu 201cFeisty201d, a quick question...how do I display a list of recently installed applications, don't need lots of detail, just name and date installed. Thankful for any assistance. [22:53] for one, I'm pretty sure Ubuntu won't install on an NTFS partition [22:53] hischild: Verdict? [22:53] tony379: i can kinda help, can you give more reasons why you need this? [22:53] seccondly, theres ALREADY a freaken OS on that partition.. [22:53] hischild: Right now my whole parition is one big ass 93 GB one with vista on it, how do I go forth? [22:53] hspaans - nothing about skip-networking that's not commented out - netstat -na | grep 3306 shows 'tcp blah blah LISTEN' [22:53] Bodsda, yes all new phones can run them, in one way or another. some games run only on some specific phones. I don't actually have a good documentation site to give you but by doing a detailed google search you will find useful things :) [22:53] mrpockets: The installer will shrink the ntfs and create the ubuntu and swap partitions.. please dont give out incorrect advice [22:53] hmm... mrpockets it's possible to run ubuntu in windows :P [22:53] vmware :P [22:53] sc0tch - you can just do a sudo apt-get -s upgrade | less. this will only simulate an upgrade ie list the packages to be upgraded. [22:53] mrpockets, he has vista on a partition. NEXT to that partition he has _free_ space. This means _NO_ file system on it. He can create a new partition on it as ext3 and install grub with it and boot both right? [22:53] hspaans - nothing about skip-networking that's not commented out - netstat -na | grep 3306 shows 'tcp blah blah LISTEN' [22:54] mrpockets, or am i missing one magic part that blows it up? [22:54] right [22:54] <__mikem> HinHin: go with Virtual Box, vmware server isn't that good [22:54] hischild: I have ONE parition that's 93 GB with vista on it. [22:54] i wasnt aware Ubuntus installer automaticly reallocates it.. [22:54] stroogle: then you should be able to connect, but permissions within mysql may be incorrect [22:54] Suhail, do you have free space next to vista? y/n [22:54] hspaans - permissions eh? what to check? [22:54] hischild: This is new newbie but vista tells me I have 30 GB left =) [22:54] somebody installed new sofware and didn't tell me what? Something related to ALSA [22:55] hischild: And ubuntu says I have 30 GB unused on that partition [22:55] mrpockets, ok i take it back, you're right. This is goin to be fun. [22:55] __mikem, Virtual box... hmm... haven't heard of it [22:55] i'll take a look [22:55] kostkon, cool,.,. just 1 more thin,.,.is it possible to convert a gameboy rom into a java format, and the game still work? [22:55] hischild, lol its cool. I just didn't know if i'ev been smokign too much pot or what [22:55] hischild: This is easy for me if I had seperated out 10 GB before but instead I just allocated it all to vista :-\ [22:55] Suhail, i now see what mrpockets was saying. He was saying you have 30gb free on that partition. It means ubuntu will try to shrink your vista partition and use the reallocated space for it. [22:56] zcat[1]: grabbed the files i needed, thank you very much [22:56] !who > tony379 please you my name, I missed your message, but I have something coming [22:56] hischild: Is it possible to take the 30 GB of freespace and allocate some of it in a NEW partition for ubuntu without pwning my windows? [22:56] ls --help [22:56] stroogle: is this an upgrade or a new installation? [22:56] wc [22:56] Suhail, the installer will try to shrink the partition windows is on and then create a new partition using the space it freed up. [22:56] hischild: The default option seems like it installs over everything. [22:56] Suhail, there is however the risk that windows won't like it and complain a lot with the risk of reinstallation. [22:57] Suhail, no, default is to reallocate. The second and third are to use the full drive, cq use lvm on the full drive [22:57] hischild: I read vista automatically shrinks so you don't have to worry =) [22:57] Suhail, ok [22:57] Suhail: not to butt in here, but to butt in here: I'd recommend using vista's partition shrinker to make the space if you're worried at all. Then just point the ubuntu installer at the free space left over [22:57] hischild: There's only a second option, not a third. [22:57] Bodsda, I don't think so. but a java gameboy emulator may exist that will allow you to play gameboy games on your mobile, for example. I don't really know if such an emulator for mobile phones exists, I just throw it as an idea. you could do a google search for java emulators [22:57] hspaans - new on a fresh 7.10 ubuntu install [22:57] hischild: The second option = manual [22:57] Suhail, i have 4 or 5 options ... [22:58] Suhail, but i'm thinking in the lines of alternate install cd ... that's probably different [22:58] Suhail, then use the first one :-) [22:58] cool, should have hardy on a stick pretty soon now :) [22:58] is there a command to see all about the cpu im running? [22:58] hischild: I have -> ubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386 [22:58] kostkon, some m8's of mine, have been given a gameboy game, that works on phones, but i cant find the guy who did all the work, so i cant find out how he did it,.,. anyway, thanks for your help m8!! ;~) [22:58] Suhail, i usually install using the alternate cd :-) [22:58] mrangi: cat /proc/cpuinfo [22:58] hi from maryland usa [22:58] stroogle: check if commandline options work or else the mysql forum may be a better place to continue your journey (you're not alone with these issues) [22:59] tony379: try this: ls -tlu /var/cache/apt/archives/ [22:59] ty [22:59] hischild: When you d-click install, it only presents 2 options, default which makes it seem like you're install on top of your whole partition and manual which lets you play around [22:59] hspaans - ok dude, thanks for time :) [22:59] np [22:59] i need some help with activation my soundcard on an inspiron e521 [22:59] For some reason, all of my files on my desktop are showing the same generic file icon, anyone know how to fix this? [22:59] hischild: Mind screenshotting what you see, I really would rather not go through the headache of fucking up :P [22:59] Bodsda, no problem! happy that I helped you :) [22:59] atheodo, what do you mean "activation" ? [22:59] damn laptop keeps trying to connect to all the wifi points around here, had to turn wifi off [23:00] i installed 7.10 [23:00] Suhail, you can try to play around using manual. There you can shrink your current partition in size. Then use the newly freed space to install ubuntu. [23:00] hischild: What's better for me? this desktop build or your alternate cd? [23:00] phuzion: try selecting a different icon theme, system->prefs->appearance, custom button [23:00] it says that it cannot find any sound compatible device [23:00] kostkon, can finally get music on my phone!!! ;~) [23:00] Suhail, what do you want me to screenshot? [23:00] hischild: What you see for installing ubuntu on top of something [23:00] Suhail, no, it's that i know the menu's of the alternate from my head, just not the desktop :-) [23:00] i get s speaker icon but with the stop sign on it [23:00] hischild: oh... [23:00] Suhail, you can just install using desktop :-) [23:00] atheodo, ok, can you use my name in your post plz, so i dont miss them,. and type asoundconf list into a terminal, tell me the output [23:01] hischild: Via the first option? [23:01] nickrud, didn't do anything [23:01] Is there a way to convert a .avi file to .flv? [23:01] Suhail, first option --> ?? (type it please) [23:01] reportingsjr, upload it to gootube ? [23:01] phuzion: alt-f2 killall nautilus, that should cause it to restart and reread it's config. [23:02] reportingsjr, I think ffmpeg does that conversion.. or vlc perhaps [23:02] hischild: http://content.zdnet.com/2346-12554_22-171001-7.html [23:02] bodsda: i have the sound speaker icon on my desktop (gnome) but it has a stop sign on it and when I try to go to properties it says that no compatible devices are found, is ther a usb system i can get to have sound on the computer? [23:02] zcat[1], it's ~634 mb, a movie [23:02] reportingsjr, yes there is [23:02] will it make it any bigger? [23:02] hischild: Hence why I am scared: "Guided - use entire disk" [23:02] I've seen apps around for it [23:02] sweet [23:02] HinHin, know the name? [23:02] wee, thanks, nickrud [23:02] hischild: Except I am not using VMWare, I am using my drive :P [23:02] reportingsjr, ffmpeg, and there's a fron ent I think named winff, it's not in repos tho [23:02] reportingsjr, depends what attributes you append to it [23:02] reportingsjr, :( unfortunely no... [23:03] HinHin, Ok [23:03] I'm trying to put a movie on my phone [23:03] Bodsda, :) [23:03] Suhail, i understand. Don't use guided, go for manual. [23:03] only 1gb of space [23:03] hischild: lol, oh man... [23:03] zcat[1], thanks! [23:03] hischild: You just almost effed me :P [23:03] haha [23:03] Suhail, it will _always_ ask for confirmation. Report back when it does :p [23:04] hischild: Problem with manual is, can you seperate space from space already used by vista? =\ [23:04] Suhail, we're about to find out :-) [23:04] hischild: Well it's free space [23:04] reportingsjr, if you're converting for phone you'll probably want to convert the resolution and bitrate down, so it will end up heaps smaller [23:04] hi, can anybody tell me if it is possible to reach your ntfs data from ubuntu when you have two OS - windows and ubuntu? [23:04] I don't know how to take off a chunk =( [23:04] Suhail, there's a difference between free space and free space [23:04] atheodo, type lsusb, and pastebin the output [23:04] hischild: That's really encouraging :P [23:04] zcat[1], How much worse will it make it look? [23:04] pliumbum: yes, you should end up with an icon of your windows drive on the desktop [23:05] reportingsjr, If you do it right it will look as good as your phone screen can display.. iow crap :) [23:05] kostkon, ;-) [23:05] haha [23:05] you know what, you got about 15 minutes? i'll get virtualbox up with a copy of desktop installer [23:05] Suhail, ^ [23:05] Suhail, then we can go step by step :-) [23:06] nickrud, should it appear automatically after installing ubuntu? I have never before used two OS on the same comp. Though I am familiar with both windows and ubuntu [23:06] Okay so does anyone here know how to seperate unused space by vista so you can repartion it? =( [23:06] pliumbum: yes [23:06] 50 minutes left... [23:06] hischild: maybe...I'll...just wait to buy a mac... [23:06] the race is on.. which will end first? putting the ISO on my mp3 player or the laptop battery... [23:07] hischild: lol [23:07] Suhail: Yes. But I need to find the link, can yo hang on a sec? [23:07] anyone in here runing gutsy on macbook v2 a1181?? [23:07] nickrud: I see.. and I will also be able to write into my windows disk? And what about vice versa - will windows read ext3? [23:07] Suhail: Cuz the instructions are a bit longish.... [23:07] ArthurArchnix: Sure [23:07] Suhail, you can do that. I'm just trying to make sure you don't screw up doing something that i could've prevented ;-) [23:07] pliumbum: Yes. but not vice versa [23:07] are there (ubntu-server-7.10-i386.iso) kernel boot args that will let me install via serial console? [23:08] pliumbum: yes, you can write to ntfs. if you get the driver from fs-driver.org , you can use the ext3 partition in windows as well [23:08] zcat[1]: sods law battery will die as you unmounting the usb drive and waiting for the cache to be flushed.. [23:08] i want to move all jpgs in a folder, but i get 'argument list too long' if i do mv *.jpg ... how can I move many files at once ? thanks [23:08] pliumbum, i believe there's a program you can use on windows, to write to ext3.. [23:08] ext2explorer [23:08] amx109, yeah, fully expecting that [23:08] explore2fs you mean. Reads only [23:09] woot.. apparently done! [23:09] zcat[1]: stick your finger in the power supply socket, you might just give it enough milliamps ... [23:09] looking around the office to see if anything else here has an 18v power supply I can borrow.. [23:10] you see, i have two hdds, 14 gb and 200 gb. So I guess the best for me should be to put windows into the big one and ubuntu into the small one, and in ubuntu I could use them both, while in windows the majority of the file space. agree? :) [23:10] Suhail, if you want you can go ahead. If someone else knows the menu as well, they can jump in here. Untill then i'll get it up and running in vmware which is about 10 minutes out :-) [23:10] Oh well, in theory this should boot now [23:10] how do i move ±7000 jpgs to another folder ? mv *.jpg doesn't work , thanks [23:10] pliumbum: sounds like a plan :) [23:10] married [23:11] #lart cat and mouse [23:11] bugger. the initrd transplant didnt work [23:11] thanks you guys :) i, being a ubuntu user, am trying to install ubuntu into my girlfriend's comp :) [23:11] Suhail: Sorry... I was sure I'd posted about this before. [23:11] !it [23:11] Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! [23:12] pliumbum: Be careful with that... :) [23:12] Ok, here's what I learned after dual-booting with vista for a year and reinstall everything three times. [23:12] zcat[1], what should I pet the bitrate and such at? [23:12] ArthurArchnix: I might dangerously play with partition magic... [23:12] put* [23:12] tim167: for f in *.jpg; do mv "$f" /folder/path; done [23:12] oh, she asked me to do this, after when her windows refused for about two hours [23:12] Suhail: Windows doesn't like to be resized to less than 60% of it's partition size. So, if you've got a 100GB partition, it will never let you resize below 60GB. Vista is even worse... :( Anyway, what you want to do [23:13] Suhail: No... not that... not yet. [23:13] refused to boot* [23:13] I'm running Ubuntu server edgy and was wondering how to make my external USB hard drive auto mount when I plug it in? [23:13] tim167: try cp instead of mv to test it [23:13] prince_jammys ok thanks, i will ! [23:14] ArthurArchnix: Sounds like it's smart to think ahead of time and partition two spaces =\ [23:15] Suhail: I should probably ask more questions... I've done things before, but whether I can help you or not depends on what you're doing. Whats' your setup? HD size? partition for Vista? what do you want? Dual-boot? what's the primary OS? Anything else I should know? [23:15] are there drivers in the linux kernel that support the Realtek 8187B wireless drivers? [23:15] i'm getting the ./configure error "configure:1782: error: C compiler cannot create executables but I have Build-essential installed"; anyone know how to remedy? [23:16] if I have typed su and the passwrd to get to root, how do I go back to my other username? [23:16] jarrettgreen_: exit [23:16] ArthurArchnix: 93 GB's of space, 30GB is free, dual boot, vista is primary os [23:16] jarrettgreen_: or you can do a CTRL-D [23:17] #salamanca [23:18] cany anyone here help with some xorg.conf issues im having with nvidia software? [23:18] does anyone know of a fix for fglrx drivers and getting suspend/hibernate to work on a laptop? [23:18] Suhail: And you want ubuntu in the 30 GB you've already freed up? So.. you'll be using vista mainly, but you want to have some space to play with ubuntu? [23:19] ArthurArchnix: I probably just want to put it with 20 GB's of space but yeah, play. [23:19] ArthurArchnix: Eventually, move to [23:19] How would i o about converting file.flv to file.3gp? what program can do this? [23:19] go* === Meow is now known as CorruptTerrorist [23:19] Bodsda: ffmpeg maybe [23:20] erUSUL, ive tried using that b4, and couldnt get my head around it [23:20] how can i increase the screen resolution?

IDEALLY... 1) backup my data. 2) reinstall vista. 3) update, install all programs, turn off system restore, delete update files (they're hidden). 4) reboot make sure everything works good. I've got no personal files on the system yet. (Let's say after reboot you find that Vista is using 12GB, I'll continue with that in mind). 5) Resize vista partition - how? {define desired size (say, 20GB, based on a 12GB in [23:25] Default port is same as SSH port I believe. [23:25] 6) Now you've got your ideal 20GB vista install. Create a 10GB ubuntu install using gparted. Create 10GB ext3 space, then make the rest ntfs, all using gparted. [23:25] it's port 22 -- for those who care . .. [23:26] anaxagorus thought so :) [23:26] how can I as root, search my entire system to find the file source_cache? [23:26] philphoto: what doesn't work? [23:26] or multiplies of it [23:26] 7) now you've got 20GB clean vista install, 10GB of ext3 (for future ubuntu use) and the rest (ntfs). [23:26] hspaans: I have NO usb at all [23:26] Bodsda: i found this on google ffmpeg -i temp.avi -acodec amr_nb -ab 32 -ac 1 -ar 8000 -vcodec h263 -s qcif -r 10 temp.3gp [23:26] jarrettgreen_: find / -type f -name "source_cache" [23:26] jarrettgreen, sudo locate source_cache [23:27] locate dont look everywhere tho [23:27] jarrettgreen_: locate source_cache [23:27] mavi-: do sudo find as above [23:27] erUSUL, this is why i dont like ffmpeg,.,.thanks anyway but im gonna use the online converter,.,.cheers ;~) [23:27] 8) Use PING (ping is not ghost -- google it) to create your very own bootable vista restore DVD. Very easy to do. This step is optional... but given how much goes wrong with windows, recommended. [23:27] :) [23:27] hi im pretty new to linux and i think im getting some performance problems...2.4ghz pentium4, 1gig ram, 9800XT 256mb RAM and i get about 10fps in the game frets on fire. i thought the video card was the problem so i popped in a 9800xt instead of the geforce4200 i was using before. both times i thought i was using proprietary drivers, both times i got awful 10fps performance even at 640x480 [23:27] 9) Install ubuntu to 10GB space. [23:27] mavi-: sorry, wrong person [23:27] philphoto: and how did you detect that? [23:28] are there drivers in the linux kernel that support the Realtek 8187B wireless drivers?

[23:28] hspaans: first it was I noticed dead usb mouse, then I tested other dev's. nothing works [23:28] 10) Add files to the remaining space... personal files, which are now accessible to either Vista or Ubuntu. Whichever you decide to use. And if you decide to upgrade to the newest version of UBuntu, or maybe switch to Suse, or Fedora, then you just delete Ubuntu, install the other OS, and bam ... all your files are there. Vista is there. Easy peasy. [23:29] I'm guessing if I type a locate, and nothing happens, and it just gives me a new clena command line prompt - nothing was found? It doesn't tell me nothing was found? [23:29] Hello all, a friend of mine has a compaq nc6000 his computer takes 5 minutes to get into ubuntu. Does any one have any suggestions?

[23:34] oddchild, well, i think 7.10 already has it,.,. but im not even sure if readahead is the correct name [23:34] !find readahead [23:34] he has 7.10 :) [23:34] philphoto: no udev is your issue [23:34] Found: readahead, readahead-list [23:34] it didn't work [23:34] xserver crashed [23:34] !info readahead | oddchild [23:34] how do you do that? [23:34] oddchild: readahead (source: readahead-list): read files into the page cache. In component main, is optional. Version 1:0.20050517.0220-0ubuntu11 (gutsy), package size 21 kB, installed size 152 kB [23:34] hspaans: how to rectify? [23:35] how do you install that? [23:35] oddchild, do you have access to your m8's comp atm? [23:35] yes [23:35] right by me [23:35] philphoto: udev handles your device mappings and module loading including usb [23:35] he is in windows because it takes so long to get to ubuntu :o [23:35] oddchild, first see wheter or not he already has it locate readahead [23:35] im getting him to restart to unbuntu [23:36] how do i do that? [23:36] under syn pack manager? [23:36] hspaans: how to fix? [23:36] !enter | oddchild [23:36] oddchild: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [23:36] i need to download the geforce 8800gt drivers [23:36] oddchild, in the terminal type locate readahead [23:36] I'm trying to convince someone ubuntu's besser than Windows, what are really good reasons? [23:36] okay [23:36] Robert125: it's Linux [23:36] !nvidia [23:36] period! [23:36] To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [23:36] philphoto: sudo /etc/init.d/udev start may help [23:36] how will i know if it is installed? [23:36] Rober125: its linux, its stable...period. [23:37] Robert125: You might want to discuss this in #ubuntu-offtopic [23:37] Robert125, please dont do that, just show it to them, and let them make up their own mind, dont force ubuntu onto people [23:37] robert125 : not virus prone like windoze. [23:37] philphoto: but your install may be fubar [23:37] but all these points are very true [23:37] oddchild, if the locate readahead gives any output, then he's already got it [23:37] ok, thaks for first [23:38] Robert125: it has a penguin mascot instead of a butterfly/window [23:38] that's why i use it [23:38] okay [23:38] hey all, where are the cd/dvd autoload settings stored for gnome...headless mythbuntu system, autoloads cd/dvd behind the mythtv system [23:38] hspaans: fail [23:38] * Bodsda thinks karl_ has got his priorities spot on [23:38] He asked me [23:38] Heh bodsda :) [23:39] one more thing: after installing both OS, does grub set itself up automatically? [23:39] philphoto: get your livecd and do a fresh install, best option if your not a die hard [23:39] puppy linux comes with a puppy wallpaper instead of rolling hills...you could throw that in his face [23:39] when i try to enable compiz with my nforce binary-driver system, window titles flash a few times and then nothing happens [23:39] philphoto: most likely other things may be fubar as well [23:39] are there drivers for an 8800 gt? [23:39] hellow quick question, i might be getting company laptop to use, but wanted to put ubuntu on it, can i do this and then revert it back to original wen i have to return it? [23:39] hmmm, gnome compiz preferences sees the wrong graphics card - it sees my PCIE card rather than the oboard [23:39] speeddemon8803, ;~) [23:39] I just DID this install. this is fresh one. [23:40] hspaans: i don't really need that computer up right now, but it's more convenient than using laptop for all work [23:40] how can i increase my resolution to 1680x1050? [23:41] Eyemean: as long as you are confident installing the original OS back on there and installing drivers for the hardware [23:41] philphoto: then check your logs in /var/log to see more details [23:41] Eyemean, only if you either 1. get the cd and registration keys -- 2. keep the original instlation [23:41] CT you still here? [23:41] Eyemean: dualboot and then put it back (you'll need to be able to fix the MBR) [23:41] yeah, need to install the keys too [23:41] i probably wouldnt be givine original cd, that what i would need to do flannel [23:41] i would just talk with your tech administrator and ask if it is okay [23:41] they might have some kind of policy against it [23:42] hspaans: in /var/log dir, what to look for? [23:42] how would i do that flannel? [23:42] !dualboot | Eyemean [23:42] Eyemean: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MacBookPro https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [23:42] MBR can be fixed easily with Super Grub Disk SGD === fubu16__________ is now known as fubu16 [23:42] * Bodsda loves the way linux is used above to fix windows [23:42] Eyemean: you'll want to backup the MBR (with Smart Boot Manager, perhaps) if you don't have any other method of restoring it [23:42] i know how to dual boot flannel, just dont know about fixing the mbr so its the same as wen i got it [23:43] you just overwrite grub with the microsoft bootloader [23:43] in the mbr [23:43] Eyemean: Smart boot manager (when you boot it from a floppy/whatever) can make a backup of the MBR, and can restore said backup as well [23:43] and then adjust it to point to the original partition === alan__ is now known as speeddemon8803 [23:43] Eyemean, or, you could swap the hard drives, for one of yours, then put theirs back when returning it [23:43] Eyemean: or, if you have *any* windows disc, you can do it there as well (and there's probably other utilities that do the same) [23:44] philphoto: check the files in there and look for any error messages, syslog and messages may be a good start [23:44] cheers flannel, bodsda, is smart bootmanager free? [23:44] Eyemean: yep [23:44] cheers flannel, i'll probably do that then [23:44] does all software on linux have to be free? [23:44] nice one [23:44] Eyemean: http://sourceforge.net/projects/btmgr/ [23:44] CorruptTerrorist: No [23:44] Thanks from my friend [23:45] Odd-rationale, how long should a 10mb film from flv to 3gp take to convert and get the email from zamzar? [23:45] can anyone give me a good linux version of ssh secure shell client? [23:45] CorruptTerrorist: not all r free... [23:45] oh ok [23:45] wall1: openssh-client [23:45] Eyemean, no probs ;~) [23:45] * hspaans sees his timezone suggests its time for some sleep [23:45] is it in the repos? [23:45] yes [23:45] CorruptTerrorist: but most of them are....FREEE !!! thanx to opensource community.... [23:45] heh ok Indiadev_Techie [23:46] Bodsda: hmm. I would guess around 5 min? Also depends on your internet speed connection. [23:46] ok how do i use it? [23:46] Hello again, he does not have lookahead [23:46] is it a gui or command line? [23:46] wall1: ssh [args] [23:46] command line [23:46] how can i show in command line the Ubuntu name version? [23:46] wall1: ssh is, by definition, command line [23:46] pidix: lsb_release -a [23:46] Odd-rationale, 2mb line - took 5 mins to upload the file though,.,. [23:46] thanks Flannel [23:47] one might argue that putty has a gui [23:47] Every time my computer's screen is locked, it changes the Wireless connection to a wired connection. I'm using a Dell Inspiron 1420 with Ubuntu preinstalled. Does anybody know if this is a known bug? [23:47] Hello all, a friend of mine has a compaq nc6000 his computer takes 5 minutes to get into ubuntu. Does any one have any suggestions? I have tried turning off his wifi, removing CD etc... lookahead is not instaled. [23:47] oddchild, did you check for readahead? [23:47] oddchild: is his install on an old, slow harddrive? [23:47] It is a new computer [23:47] anyone know how i can set the X11 background to a .jpeg ? (I'm not running gnome or anything, just wmii, so I need the raw command) [23:47] oddchild: but does he have enuf ram on his pc ??? [23:47] putty gui. Hmm. Well sort of... [23:47] Yep [23:48] Bodsda: Is it converting right now? I usually doesn't take long for it to end up in your inbox - provided you entered the correct email address. [23:48] It runs XP normally without any problems. He does not want to use XP but it won' tlet him get into ubuntu that easily [23:48] Does anyone have a suggestion on how to backup (copy) dvds? k9copy's estimated time is 15 hours, I'm not sure why. [23:48] It runs normal once he gets into ubuntu, but the boot time is still around 5 minutes [23:48] hspaans: time to reinstall. [23:48] up_the_irons: feh might do that for you [23:48] oddchild: check for process that do dns lookups and are not aware of networkmanager like sendmail and ntp [23:48] up_the_irons: feh comes with aterm, i believe [23:49] okay [23:49] philphoto: good luck [23:49] Odd-rationale, its been about ten mins since it said the file was uploaded succesfully,. i still have no email [23:49] karl_: ok, i'll check that out thanks [23:49] addi is correct [23:49] vino server is there... i am not sure what that is. [23:49] can I use an old install of ubuntu on new hardware? or will I have to reinstall. I had hardware failure and was wondering if i put new hardware in such as cpu, mobo and ram if i need to do a clean install? [23:50] Is there a way to convert ext3 to FAT32 without destroying all the data? :/ [23:50] hspaans: after check, the machine is frozen. restarted X and stuck on login [23:50] Or do I have to like back-up/obliterate and format? [23:50] BTW, thanks hspaans for your help [23:50] * Bodsda is confused, he went on holiday for 2 weeks, when he came back, all the questions started getting harder!! [23:51] hspaans: ouch. [23:51] jlulian38: back-up and format is your way, sorry [23:51] Bodsda No More Vacations. :) [23:51] oddchild: np [23:51] hspaans: thx for the help [23:51] i cant see now my network MSHOME [23:51] NB2000, ~) [23:51] philphoto: np and good luck [23:51] Bodsda: Patience. If you want, you can try another online service http://media-convert.net/ This one doesn't requre an email. Instead you download the resulting file from a link provided. [23:52] hspaans, do I need to install lookahead on his box? [23:52] Odd-rationale, i think i got the addi wrong (:-() trying again, but if no joy, then il try that one, thanks m8 [23:52] how do you end xserver?

I have made it so my static IP points to port 80 on my dapper box. Works great. But I'd like instead of typing in the IP, or forwarding dev.example.com to the IP, to actually have the domain registered on the box. Is it possible to do this? I have bind9 running, but don't really understand it. [23:58] boas [23:58] zero88, what do u mean?
