I followed the instructions but no dice. [00:52] idyllic: However, I just tried the default, and it still does it. [00:52] My NTFS drives won't mount. They used to work, but while I was using them, mount crashed and now it won't come back. I even attempted reboot. [00:52] linux_trojan: and there should be some sort of bird background an option for the desktop background [00:52] My origins are main, multiverse, restricted, and universe... should I add more and how? [00:52] foxhop: run the Windows repair tools on them from within Windows [00:52] sebsebseb: It's a heron! [00:52] in mandrake there is a command line that tells you the version [00:52] VJ_Vis: Then I am out of idea here. Try to put your question again, maybe other can help. So sorry [00:52] danbhfive: I'm unable to access the drive where I installed the new version (through the old verson that still works fine), it prompts me for a password but then it just removes the drive and doesn't display. Would I have better luck running a naut through gksudo? [00:53] I was hoping that Ubuntu had the same command line [00:53] linux_trojan: lsb_release -a [00:53] jason0_, i'm not sure many 64 bit people chose to run 32 bit ubuntu for that reason flash/java support [00:53] linux_trojan: lsb_version -a [00:53] idyllic: No prob. Thanks for trying. :) [00:53] fde: ok a heron then [00:53] ooohhhh [00:53] ok [00:53] brb [00:53] how can i tell if i have mysql installed and which version [00:53] * fde said that 5 mins ago [00:53] any can help fuck this "Guru of Security"? only need to invade and open the gedit, the ip is this 189.11.136.234 [00:53] eboyjr, those repos are all you should need [00:53] FDE: I didnt understand you,sorry [00:53] Okay, thanks [00:53] fde: except there is no "lsb_version" command [00:53] I think my server is really trying hard to update [00:54] eboyjr, you don't have Synaptic open at the same time do you? [00:54] mneptok: there should be... type 'lsb_[tab] [00:54] ' [00:54] Hey guys. I'm running 8.04, upgraded from 7.10. Can anyone tell me why my mouse cursor disappears whenever I either open a program or visit a url in firefox? Any sort of "load time" will cause the pointer to disappear until it's finished. [00:54] satokun: well, if you can't even access the drive (I assume you don't mean partition), then I would say thats your first problem. You gota figure out a way to access that drive [00:54] DistroJockey, I do , lol! [00:54] eboyjr, :) [00:54] ShadowBelmolve, no cussing here and i'm sure the channel rules are against illegal activities as well [00:54] mneptok: that did not work [00:54] How do you use the "kill" function? If I type, "kill firefox," it tells me that is incorrect. How would I "kill" the Firefox process? [00:54] fde: "should be?" [00:54] ./configuring an app; E: Couldn't find package mcs [00:54] blah569: pkill [00:54] What does that mean? [00:54] blah569: you need to know the process id of Firefox to use kill. [00:54] vj_vis: might be your graphic card or it's drivers? is compiz fusion working fine? [00:54] mneptok: bash: export: `=/home/simon/Python': not a valid identifier [00:54] DistroJockey, I'll try again... :) [00:54] blah569: killall firefox [00:54] eboyjr, *nods* [00:55] thanks [00:55] zaussome: what are you trying to do? [00:55] Simonf1: you have to use the same temrinal window, or add the export to your shell's environment. [00:55] It works now [00:55] Danish989: Yes, compiz works fine. [00:55] Danish989: ./configure an application for compiling. [00:55] how do you get sound workign in xubuntu 8.04? [00:55] mneptok: I don't know if it was in every release, but every release came with lsb-release [00:55] eboyjr, excellent :) Have fun. [00:55] Simonf1: export $PYTHONPATH=/home/simon/Python [00:55] Danish989: The issue also happens even without compiz loaded though. [00:55] muchas gracias [00:55] mneptok: I don't mean that, there's just too many people addressing me at the same time [00:55] mneptok: same terminal window as what? [00:55] eboyjr, you're welcome [00:55] danbhfive: drive/partition are the same thing except for the older install. I'm going to go try accessing it working as root. (I may have just needed to talk it out...) [00:55] it's a little overwhelming [00:55] fde: thanks i worked, i am using version 8 [00:55] VJ_Vis: I'm not sure .. I have the same sort of problem too though, audio also starts breaking up on load times [00:55] fde: lsb_release, yes. you were saying "lsb_version," which has never existed. [00:56] ibleed, he have asked for this, to prove what he is the "Guru of Security" [00:56] can some body suggest a program to assign a wallpaper to each desktop? [00:56] mneptok: It's here on Hardy. [00:56] Simonf1: as anything that needs to use that path [00:56] mneptok: that is what I entered [00:56] mneptok: I want idle to find it [00:56] Danish989: I don't have any audio issues thankfully, but the pointer disappearing is a little irritating at times. [00:56] fde: "lsb_version" is not [00:56] lsb_version is the one that works [00:56] omg [00:56] ibleed, He chalanged all the #ubuntu-br to this [00:56] mneptok: ugh... type it into a terminal 'lsb[tab] [00:56] it's freaking updating [00:56] ShadowBelmolve, this channel is for ubuntu support. please dont talk to me [00:56] ahhhh [00:56] VJ_Vis: Yeah, I can imagine .. maybe that problem is only till firefox?

[01:27] nano_: or at least it detects mine :) [01:27] Wolf23, can you reply in the way I ask the quesitons instead of telling me models [01:27] Has anyone here used nm-tool? It says I'm connected with "eth0" and yet I'm using wireless with interface wlan0, in fact my ethernet is totally unplugged. What am I missing? [01:27] KooperKool: VMWare Server if you have your own install disks for win. get it from www.vmware.com free [01:27] ty ubottu!! [01:27] Pelo, can you tell me how to make an alias (shortcut in cli) for sync; echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches [01:27] richarl: what is the full name of the application you are talking about, is it "network-admin"? [01:27] !thanks | Jabroni5 [01:27] Jabroni5: You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [01:28] i've got the source of an app with apt-get build-dep that i need to make some changes to... what's the "correct" way to build and deploy this package (and later reinstall the original package)? [01:28] richarl: i can't find network-manager on my system [01:28] Scunizi: Wait, Server? I Just to have running. I dont want to have a server. [01:28] eboyjr: Usually when I'm working in /var/www on my boxes, I'll either run 'gksudo nautilus' to edit as root, or if I'm in a terminal, I'll do a 'sudo -i' first. [01:28] lol, good bot [01:28] sorry, apt-get source [01:28] eboyjr: I can [01:28] Wolf23, screen brightness has nothing to do with x settings or with your video driver , it's part of the monitor, check the manual [01:28] nano_: it's just called nm-applet [01:28] KooperKool: VMWare server on hardy is a bit tedious... I don't think there's a straight forward install doc... if you're running gutsy I recommend it, otherwise do some searching for vmware-server and hardy [01:28] KooperKool: not ubuntu server.. vmware server.. it allows you to do a direct install of another OS instead of using an "appliance" [01:28] help [01:28] nano_: it shows up in the top-right corner on the panel [01:28] nano_: and allows me to choose which wireless (or wired) network to connect to [01:29] richarl: not seeing anything [01:29] eboyjr: ........ I can't say that it's the approved method of working in the webroot folder, but it is better than a chmod -R 777 to it for sure. [01:29] help [01:29] SeaPhor, not sure if this is what you want but shorcuts in linux are called symlink and the command is ln -s sources destination [01:29] nano_: what do you see? [01:29] richarl: might i add, im running hardy heron [01:29] i see nothing [01:29] harris: what do you need help with? [01:29] Pelo: i have windows and linux, why windows resolution looks very nice and linux not? [01:29] nano_: me too [01:29] KooperKool: don't get confused with "server".. You're current ubuntu install has several servers running in the background.. cups server, vnc.. etc. [01:29] Scunizi: Oh. I thought you meant I had to have a server software (Windows Server 2003, Mac OS X Server edition, Server 2008, etc.) [01:29] Pelo, Thanks bro! [01:29] richar1: are you on kubuntu or kde? [01:29] can you embed screensavers into the desktop to animate the desktop ? [01:29] i got it [01:29] Danish989: no - gnome [01:29] Wolf23, try this, in menu > system> prefs > appearance > font tab, subpixel hinting [01:30] richar1: i had the same problem, btw [01:30] im using GUTSY and im having hard time installing the nvidia DRIVers i already have the NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.05-pkg#.run. [01:30] richar1: I couldnt find it either [01:30] Wolf23, Pelo , d5258A seems like a CRT [01:30] Wolf23, this is the problem at this point I'm not even sure I understand what the problem is , but I realy doudt it's from X or your driver [01:30] After you have downloaded the file 'NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.05-pkg#.run', [01:30] change to the directory containing the downloaded file, and as the 'root' user [01:30] run the executable: [01:30] harris: why not just use the restricted drivers manager that's built in? [01:30] Scunizi: What's the Website? [01:30] zionpsyfer, I understand... thx [01:30] Danish989: if you're running K then the gnome-based applet won't work without grief ... (from what i remember running kde on fedora.) [01:30] KooperKool: www.vmware.com [01:30] thankx!!! [01:31] danbhfive: the menu.lst you requested is in the pastebin at 9335 [01:31] happyzlz, thanks for the info [01:31] no when I installed the restricted drivers built in [01:31] eboyjr: No worries, hope I helped. [01:31] richar1: I know, it's a pain :( [01:31] Hi, my dedicated server seems to constantly be using 50%+ IOWait. Is there a way to find out which process is causing it do that? [01:31] I cant boot to my desktop [01:31] no when I installed the restricted drivers built in,I cant boot to my desktop [01:31] You definitely did [01:31] harris: grub problem or busybox? [01:31] can you embed screensavers into the desktop to animate the desktop ? [01:31] Has anyone here used nm-tool? It says I'm connected with "eth0" and yet I'm using wireless with interface wlan0; in fact my ethernet is totally unplugged. What am I missing? [01:31] hey everybody! [01:31] ? [01:31] Danish989: i found that there's a bunch of cool stuff on kde available, but the basics work better on gnome so stuck with that (basics like playing videos, getting networking working etc.) [01:32] harris: what is the problem, why cant ubuntu boot? [01:32] Danish989, he probably gets an command prompt , x fails to load because of a bad drier [01:32] danbhfive: the answer is I don't know. [01:32] using hardy with firefox 3b5. when i open bookmarks and right click 'sort by name' is grayed out. why? [01:32] KooperKool: here's the link for the download page.. don't forget to click the link at the top of this page to get a serial number.. http://www.vmware.com/download/server/ [01:32] richar1: Yeah, KDE has a better music player, AmaroK [01:32] harris: Have you run the .run file and completed the install? [01:32] Pelo, everything works fine, thanks [01:32] I don't know [01:32] satokun: the answer to what? [01:32] VMware Server vs. VMware Workstation? [01:32] richarl: when you run "network-admin", do you get the same gui interface as for nm-applet? [01:32] danbhfive: the first time I installed it that's just how it came out. accessing either drive gives me root. [01:32] Can someone tell me why Hardy changes my Desktop resolution every f time i reboot or play a game ? >: ( is there a way to fix that because it's frustrating me mad ! [01:32] harris, once you get that .bin file put it on your desktop, open a terminal type cd Desktop , sudo chmod +x filenename.bin , then sudo ./filename.bin [01:32] Does anyone here use openvpn to connect to their work computer? [01:32] KooperKool: you'll also have to install build essential on your ubuntu box.. get to a terminal and type "sudo apt-get install build-essential" [01:32] Pelo: what can i do [01:32] Gerinych, congrats [01:32] pelo: do you know anything about the BusyBox problem? [01:33] danbhfive: err, either partition [01:33] Wolf23, no idea , check in the forum www.ubuntuforums.org [01:33] nano_: yes - same thing as if i click on the applet [01:33] wait... okay illl try it [01:33] hello, some thing is making my disk space, 0.2 gigas every day, how can i find what ? [01:33] harris: Alright, we'll walk through it. You're either logged in or looking at a login screen correct? (black and white screen as you don't have X running) [01:33] Danish989, I don't even know what a busybox is , I 've never seen one [01:33] richarl: so nm-applet is the samething as network-admin [01:33] Pelo: It's a pain in the ass, that's what it is [01:33] nevermind :) welcome back Windows XP wohooo [01:33] richarl: well anyways, richarl, i can't seem to detect any networks [01:33] Pelo: Heh, sorry I missed you helping. =) [01:33] is there an end all, be all resource for Hardy Heron and resolution issues? [01:33] Danish989, when do tyou get this , during hte install ? [01:33] satokun: can you pastebin sudo fdisk -l ? [01:33] pelo: ubuntu stops booting and you get a busybox command line .... [01:33] hey guys, how can I set up a raid 1 when installing 8.04? [01:33] YES [01:33] nano_: kinda. the applet runs in the panel and shows e.g. my network strength etc. the network-manager dialog lets me setup networking [01:34] Jabron, what resolution issues? [01:34] Danish989, when ? [01:34] pelo: Ive read in forums, that people have gotten them while installing too, but I got it out of nowhere at boot [01:34] danbhfive: I'll try. [01:34] oh, just upgraded from 7.10 to 8.04 [01:34] nano_: does ifconfig show your wireless card? [01:34] pinno: xscreensaver can draw to the root window. [01:34] i'm stuck in 600x800 is all [01:34] Danish989, have you recently upgraded ? [01:34] i'm sure there's an easy way out, just haven't found the paperwork yet :( [01:34] pelo: some people have said it's due to faulty shutdowns .. my ubuntu was working fine since 2 days, then suddenly, that started happening [01:34] nano_: does iwconfig "work"? [01:34] pelo: nope, I didnt [01:34] satokun: also, can you describe your grub menu as it appears? [01:34] richar1: maybe a reinstall of nm-applet is in order [01:34] hi [01:34] nano_: you're on kde? [01:34] richarl: yes it shows my wlan0 [01:34] Danish989, try booting the recovery mode ,that's all I can suggest === edsoncanto is now known as edson [01:34] pinno: But GNOME normally hides the root window with nautilus, to draw the icons.

[01:42] jawbrey, please use my nick when talking to me it helps me keep track [01:42] satokun: well, as a side comment, I don't think you need more than one swap partition [01:42] Pelo: no prob :) [01:43] anyone know tool for video capture? [01:43] anyone know if there is a program to mount samba shares via a web browser? (mount not just browse like smb2www) [01:43] danbhfive: main reason I'm clean installing 8.04. :D [01:43] jawbrey, ok this is what is going on , free space is not the same as unallocated space, you need unallocated space to install ubuntu on , in the partition editor you will resize the ntfs partiton to turn the free space into unallocated space [01:43] harris@SPIDER101:~$ chmod +x NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.05-pkg1.run [01:43] harris@SPIDER101:~$ [01:43] nothing happens [01:43] cheeseboy, you desktop ? recordmydesktop-gtk [01:44] satokun: does the 8.04 install show up in your grub menu?

When the 8.04 is, I error out in GRUB, so I don't know. [01:44] anyone use wireshark? [01:45] Pelo, no usb camera [01:45] Pelo: I believe he'll need build-essential first as it compiles a module. [01:45] satokun: you are selecting the drives via bios? [01:45] Jabroni5, i learned from experience, it's a hard concept for new linux users to grasp [01:45] moon`: I sometimes use it [01:45] cheeseboy, cheese then [01:45] Starnestommy, think you could field a few quick questions for me? [01:45] moon`: maybe [01:45] zionpsyfer, I assumed he already had [01:45] satokun: wait, I think I get it, you are choosing which drive to boot off of? [01:45] zionpsyfer, which one are we talking about here ? [01:45] <-- notes that Pelo is a great multi-tasker [01:45] Pelo: Thanks I'll make an attempt with the Gparted tool, generally how much unallocated space is good for the swap partion? [01:45] * Pelo is getting confused [01:46] Pelo: harris. [01:46] how do I activate nvidia drivers on the livecd? [01:46] Starnestommy, well I just now got the program through apt-get install wireshark and when I open the capture interfaces option it doesn't show any available interfaces, do I need to configure something? [01:46] Jabroni5: Agreed, herculean multitasker award to Pelo. [01:46] moon`: run it as gksudo wireshark [01:46] sudo: ./runNVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.05-pkg1.run: command not found [01:46] harris@SPIDER101:~$ sudo ./runNVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.05-pkg1.run [01:46] harris: run this: 'sudo sh ./runNVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.05-pkg1.run' [01:47] Starnestommy, ahh, dandi, thatnks [01:47] thanks rather [01:47] danbhfive: sorta. It asks me what drives have boot priority. I put the old at the top, I can boot the old. I put the new at the top, I error out. Oddly enough if the drive that has home is detected it errors out no matter what. But if I leave it undetected in the bios and run old, it shows up and works just fine. a headscratcher. [01:47] jawbrey, this is your first time installing ubuntu /lnux ? just make some unallocated space for ubuntu to install on , and use the guided install , let it make it's own choice, you'll need a bit of time running ubuntu to understand the partitionnning stuff, you can always chagne it later, for now, just let the installer do it [01:47] harris@SPIDER101:~$ sudo sh ./runNVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.05-pkg1.run [01:47] sh: Can't open ./runNVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.05-pkg1.run [01:47] what do i have to do to get sun java in 8.04?

[01:47] harris: what's the output of "file ./runNVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.05-pkg1.run" ? [01:48] satokun: do you have 2 possible gutsy installs to boot into on that one? [01:48] zionpsyfer, I don't think he'll need build-essential, the .run files is an installer, he's not actulay building anything I think [01:48] harris: the filename isn't runNVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.05-pkg1.run [01:48] ive installed sun-java bin and ad ons packages, no java in firefox, what to do next?

[01:49] wrong spelling [01:49] Mattevt: that is the complete name? no numbers or anything? === dime[away] is now known as dimensiOn [01:49] zionpsyfer, lets try it like this for now , if he gets an error we'll fix it, for now let's not confuse him [01:49] sun-java bin....sun-java plugins, still no java in firefox [01:49] danbhfive: I don't know, I've never used it. [01:49] Pelo: Agreed. [01:49] Hmm. [01:49] bazhang: yes Sandisk Sansa View [01:49] harris, linux is case sensitive, keep that in mind [01:49] mavric: are you using the i386 or amr64 version? [01:49] The DVD version of Ubuntu doesn't have Wubi?

[01:50] I have no wireless all of a sudden (since fresh install Hardy) [01:50] harris: hit ctrl+alt+f2, log in, then type "sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop" [01:50] okkk im goind to nvidia.com,..... see u later [01:50] is it safe to hotplug wireless cards? [01:50] Is there a way to configure exactly which applications to run at system boot up? [01:50] (and hot-remove) [01:50] back later, [01:50] or is there some command I should give the system before doing it? [01:50] paulcros, as in a viewable list? [01:50] danbhfive: want me to try booting to it? [01:51] paulcros if you install bum you can adjust services [01:51] UnityDivide, I mean a .conf file or somthing. [01:51] yep\ [01:51] .vonf [01:51] satokun: sure [01:51] how do i create a folder in the /var/spool directory? [01:51] danbhfive: okay, back in a few. [01:51] you dont [01:51] DefineKThyne, you don't want to [01:51] USN1520, bum? sudo apt-get install bum? [01:51] you got it [01:51] no you fuck you all [01:52] is it advisable to edit the xorg.conf file to enable higher resolution/color depths in Hardy Heron on Parallels? [01:52] I have a separate /swap partition that failed to initialize at startup, is there any way I can initialize it now? [01:52] Pelo: Yes this is my first time installing Ubuntu, also first experience with linux. If I make some unallocated space for the Ubuntu install and use the guided install option, the only option I have is "Guided - use entire disk" - won't that delete my windows installation? [01:52] meheren: i'm trying to install a printer, and the terminal gives me errors saying that the folders it needs in there don't exist. [01:52] Pelo is afk for a few, Jawbrey [01:52] jawbrey, yes it will [01:52] Jawbrey: Yes, it will. [01:52] I am getting networkmanager output during my login processes, any idea how to stop it?

[01:53] voil how did you lose it [01:53] DefineKThyne, I suppose you could try root (sudo su) [01:53] fresh install hardy [01:53] see you. [01:53] wireless gone [01:53] using wire ruight now [01:53] see the monitor up and right [01:53] meheren: so would i need to manually create these folders from terminal as su? [01:53] have to disconnect wired to set wireless [01:54] DefineKThyne: no, use sudo mkdir /var/spool/new-folder-name [01:54] Starnestommy: thanks [01:54] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?s=47ba76ff60e34a41e36dbcdf389bec5c&t=652004&page=2 Mattevt this is for gutsy; let me check for hardy [01:54] meheren/TheLastDodo - how can I dual boot xp/ubuntu without the option "Guided resize and use freed space", which I DO NOT see when I try to install. XP is already installed too [01:54] DefineKThyne, or if you want after you login as root run the command nautilus - that would give you a gui [01:54] left click to select wireless ap once wired us unhooked [01:54] nothing there when no wire con nected [01:54] meheren: thanks for the tip:) [01:54] danbhfive: it's booting now, but jsyk, the second option said it was on dev/hdc1 [01:54] danbhfive: the other option doesn't specify what drive it's on [01:54] *drive/partition [01:54] DefineKThyne, np :P [01:54] what does IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SOMEONE IS DOING SOMETHING NASTY! [01:54] Someone could be eavesdropping on you right now (man-in-the-middle attack)! [01:54] It is also possible that the RSA host key has just been changed. [01:54] The fingerprint for the RSA key sent by the remote host is [01:54] 48:2e:50:8c:36:87:4c:57:26:c7:13:35:56:64:db:c2. [01:54] Is there anything similr to kalarm for GNOME? Kalarm seems to be not working proper [01:54] dell__: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:54] Please contact your system administrator. [01:54] bazhang: thank you [01:55] When I deactivate the 3D effects in Hardy Heron (doesn't work that well with ATI driver), applications in the task bar at the bottom in Gnome don't flash orange anymore to get attention when I get a new message in aMSN for example or another application wants to tell me it needs attention. Anyone seen this behavior and knows how to make it flash again? [01:55] cannot get info on ha=ow to fix wireless interenet without internet :-X [01:55] i have a problem with network-admin. in the connection form .it's blank.howto recover?who can help me? [01:55] dell__, thats spyware, you on windows? [01:55] dell__: it means that someone changed that server's ssh key. You'll need to remove one of the lines from ~/.ssh/known_hosts to fix it [01:55] satokun: looks like you have several installs of linux, eh? : ) [01:55] i have an ATI x1900 w/ probs on HH Chris [01:55] jawbrey: Well, it's been a while since I installed Ubuntu, but I'd do this: manually resize your Windows partition. Once you've done that, you'll have some free space. Quit the installer and fire it up again. This time, it'll detect the free space and give you an option to use that for your Linux and swap partitions. Use that and your Windows installation will be untouched. [01:56] voil, disconnect the wired connection, left click on the monitor at the top right taskbar and select your ap then put your key in [01:56] tried that there is nothing there [01:56] USN1520, I installed the bum you mentioned. But its not what I wanted. I want to configure applications instead of services. [01:56] SeaPhor: an ssh key change does not usually mean that there's spyware [01:56] danbhfive: I'd agree. this one looks like ubuntu did the first time I started it from the drive. [01:56] does anyone know how I can safely remove pci cards? shut them down [01:56] no networks apear even with woreless enabled [01:56] TheLastDodo - resize the Windows partion with Gparted? [01:56] gotcha yeah bum wont do that [01:56] I recently installed Ubuntu 8.04; when I put a blank CD/DVD into my burner, it doesn't seem to be detected (I don't get a "what do you want to do with this disc" dialog); if I start a Brasero project manually, it says there's no disc, but already written CDs work as expected, and cdrecord can see the blank disc... what can I do to get the GUI burning tools to work? [01:56] ok its official [01:56] danbhfive: I believe it may be superfluous. [01:56] Starnestommy, which line? [01:56] GRUB has Pissed me off [01:56] voil what do u see by the speaker [01:56] Jawbrey: Exactly. [01:57] dell__: pastebin the error [01:57] I have tried everything and i can't load up my windows partition [01:57] the icon is there but there are no networks [01:57] TheLastDodo/Pelo - Alrighty I'm off to try that, thanks for the help. [01:57] right and there won't be as long as you are wired [01:57] hey can someone help me with my NIC's and IPtables?

[01:57] bazhang: are you good with NIC's and IPtables? [01:58] Correction: the icon is there most of the time, although a couple of my attempts have made it disapear requireing rboot to make it come back [01:58] bazhang: thanks!! [01:58] tenju: i have a little experience, what is the problem? [01:58] tenju: i have one running XP and HH and one running Vista and HH [01:58] I have a question, I'm fairly new to it, but I'm trying to setup a LAMP server using Ubuntu Server Edition 8.04 [01:58] wait nvm, Synaptic to the rescue [01:58] ok [01:58] satokun: on the hardy drive, do you have 3 options for booting, and you are saying that the first one gives you the grub 21 error? [01:58] dell__, That happened to me when I reinstalled my SSH server, and SSHed to it from a computer which had the old key saved, is that what you're doing? [01:58] voil, but when you are wired, you cannot scan for aps [01:58] anoble: better to ask your question (all on one line) and whoever knows will answer [01:58] I need SSL access, as well, but it says that it's missing apach2-ssl-certification [01:58] IIRC [01:58] I installed Ubuntu on a 40gig partition of my sata drive [01:58] (In the middle of reinstalling the server) [01:58] !remove pci [01:58] Factoid remove pci not found [01:58] and Grub is installed on hd0 [01:58] you can try to set it manually...

Why? [01:59] I can't get it to load [01:59] out of context from ubuntu: when you check the Who Is by clicking on a person's name, the information, is that a 100% valid all the time?

[02:00] but did your card install [02:00] bazhang, I wish to remove my wireless card saftely [02:00] hey guys, I've set up raid 1 on my pc at home. I can see the raid when in the raid manager, but ubuntu sees two drives when I'm trying to install 8.04, any suggestions? [02:00] just tried one more time [02:00] Danish989: Why do you ask?

I'm used to unpackaging things in Winrar...I don't really know what to make of the "tar.gz" files [02:00] i don't know why the 4th one is comming up [02:00] meheren: is this a pcmcia card; please clarify what you are trying to do [02:00] yes its only one hardrive [02:00] voil, try system > adminisistration > network and tell me what you see [02:00] hi all [02:00] earthsound: check your PM [02:01] hey guys, I've set up raid 1 on my pc at home.

Prior to beginning the installation, you should exit the X server and kill all [02:01] OpenGL applications [02:01] hello. I have a mplayer question.. on DVD playback I have audio, but I do not have video. Instead I get a scrambled pinkish image. Can anyone offer advice? [02:01] tenju: when you boot up, do you get a GRUB menu? [02:01] paulcros, ah, I'm not entirely sure how to do that [02:01] tenju: your nick might need to be registered to send PMs [02:01] can someone enable more then one NIC, right now the im trying to setup "network bridge" [02:01] i have several partitions that mount on boot and i'm always getting one of the wanting to check. i know i can use tune2fs to set it to once a month or something rather than 30 mounts, but i don't the exact command. anyone? [02:01] Prior to beginning the installation, you should exit the X server and kill all [02:01] OpenGL applications.... how can I stop the x server [02:01] how I usually have it since 7.04 [02:01] voil, so unhook wired, reboot then left click on the network icon inthe taskbar [02:01] Mattevt, google for "unpack tar bz" [02:01] hmm another problem Starnestommy , anytime I start one of the interfaces it crashes [02:02] hey guys, I've set up raid 1 on my pc at home. I can see the raid when in the raid manager, but ubuntu sees two drives when I'm trying to install 8.04, any suggestions? [02:02] Yes i get a grub menu [02:02] okay thanks [02:02] !fixgrub | satokun: maybe you should start over, so to speak. Try the "after windows" recovery method [02:02] satokun: maybe you should start over, so to speak. Try the "after windows" recovery method: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager.

[02:02] Starnestommy, any ideas? === mysterycool is now known as mysterycool[7thD [02:02] harris: join #zionpsyfer. [02:02] can someone enable more then one NIC, right now the im trying to setup "network bridge" [02:02] tried already [02:02] how many entries are listed? [02:02] harris: do this: Hit Ctrl+Alt+F2, then log in at the console, the put in "sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop" [02:02] ok do you use security [02:02] *then [02:02] dang, who can read this fast? [02:02] not linux noob [02:02] moon`: I'm not sure [02:02] can someone enable more then one NIC, right now the im trying to setup "network bridge" [02:02] alright, thanks [02:02] didnt assume so [02:02] UnityDivide, yeh. Guess I have to figure it out next time. [02:02] yea, sorry :/ [02:02] danbhfive: problem - I don't have a floppy drive anymore. It actually died earlier today. [02:03] sometimes if you install wired the other option is not there [02:03] yes buit cannot give password if network does not appear in the window. Manual connection already failed as well [02:03] ahave_, do you have an nvidia card installed? [02:03] anoble: sudo ifconfig NAME-OF-NIC up [02:03] thats all [02:03] have you tried editing your menu.1st so that it's looking for Windows @ 0,3 instead of 0,4? [02:03] harris: control-alt-backspace usually does the trick. [02:03] satokun: do you have the livecd? [02:03] bazhang, sorry I have a pcmcia card in my laptop and I am trying to remove it to insert a second one, to run lspci on it [02:03] anoble you need to specify exactly what you want to do and then those who know will answer-->that is non-simple process-->what is your end goal [02:03] Mattevt, or "extract tar bz" [02:03] harris: Meh, nevermind, misread and mixed up your name with another. [02:03] UnityDivide, yes. nvidia geforce 7 series [02:03] I have one HD it has Windows partition, Swap Partition, and EXt3 [02:03] danbhfive: yes. both for 7.10 and 8.04 [02:03] meheren: best to power down; hot-plugging one of those could cook your motherboard [02:04] ahave_, do you know which version? [02:04] voil, good luck [02:04] Anyone know why users-admin is not challenging me for my password? I tried gksu and sudo...same thing [02:04] ahave_, which version of the nvidia driver you are using that is [02:04] please, someone must have set up raid1 in ubuntu before? [02:04] :'( [02:04] UnityDivide, should be most recent.. but how can i check? [02:04] Hey guys [02:04] mrichman: you probably ran something else that needed gksudo or sudo a few minutes before runing users-admin [02:04] http://pastebin.com/m6d6b8904 This is what I"m getting from Fdisk [02:04] mrichman, running what command? [02:05] Afraid not, mark[oz]. Come back in 10 minutes or so and ask. This place gets a ton of traffic, someone who's on then may know. [02:05] but yet when i try to root (hd0,4) it says its invalid Device [02:05] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto mark[oz] please see this [02:05] does "uhci_hcd 0000:00:1d.2: host controller process error, something bad happened!" on Hardy mean I have a hardware problem? [02:05] shane2peru: trying to run users-admin [02:05] earthsound: yes i have [02:05] shane2peru: the app runs, i just dont get superuser [02:06] What type of system is best to use ubuntu, because anytime I try to boot it on my compaq or my dell laptop, it takes forever and never loads. [02:06] mrichman, ohh, because it has a new unlock feature you will notice that it is locked when you open it. [02:06] i've looked around but found few recent breadcrumbs of similar problems [02:06] Ok, im trying to setup this computer that has 3 NIC's to work as a "network Bridge" to the other Windows XP Pro Computer, when i plugin a cable from my router to any of the NICs they work, but when plugging in a cable from This Computer to the other computer it doesnt work, and the lights dont light up and neither computers read them. I want to setup "network bridging" using ip tables [02:06] *holds breath for test page result* [02:06] mrichman, you have to click unlock. :) [02:06] ahave_, which release of Ubuntu do you have installed? [02:06] mrichman, it is a new hardy feature. [02:06] Punko3: this is the livecd; try the alternate cd [02:06] Been searching all day for this and having a cazy time. Is it possible to make a user have the same "rights" as root? [02:06] UnityDivide, Gutsy [02:06] I just selected ¨Extra¨ in Visual Effects, does this allow me to do that ¨cube¨ affect like the one in the youtube videos. If so how? Thanks :) [02:06] Ronux: using sudo, yes [02:06] being offline for a bit likely [02:06] shane2peru: yes, i know, but that option is greyed out [02:06] Alright bazhang, is it a text based installer / [02:06] satokun: use the livecd, and boot with that, and resetup grub using the directions. [02:06] Billenium: I do believe you have to install some other things for that [02:07] Punko3: yes it is [02:07] mrichman, hmm, let me check it out. [02:07] billenium: like the compiz settings manager for one [02:07] okay [02:07] Ok, im trying to setup this computer that has 3 NIC's to work as a "network Bridge" to the other Windows XP Pro Computer, when i plugin a cable from my router to any of the NICs they work, but when plugging in a cable from This Computer to the other computer it doesnt work, and the lights dont light up and neither computers read them. I want to setup "network bridging" using ip tables [02:07] ahave_, I had a similar problem a while ago with Gutsy and my nVidia card, according to my googling, it's an issue with that particular version of the nVidia driver, if you restart X, or Log out/Log in, it should "fix" itself [02:07] well, the googling I did when I had the problem [02:07] harris: rejoin. [02:07] mrichman, I think that means you don't have permission to access that, are you the system admin? [02:07] bazhang, I really wanted my root to be raided [02:07] bazhang, does ubuntu come built with the cubic multiple desktop display ? [02:07] I didn't want 3 hard drives in my machine [02:07] shane2peru: yep...i'm the only user on the system [02:07] ahave_, with Hardy and the latest nVidia driver (installed with Envy), I've had no problems [02:08] mrichman, hmm, that is odd, how about when you run it from the menu? [02:08] Punko3: you need to install a package and then you can get it, provided you have a decent video card [02:08] UnityDivide: what is Envy used for? [02:08] shane2peru: the menu is what i tried first, of course ;) [02:08] UnityDivide, i am actually using a mythbuntu build of ubuntu.. so i will wait for the upgrade [02:08] hi Zion Im back [02:08] mrichman, hmm, that is very odd. [02:08] Danish989, to install the latest versions of the nVidia and ATi drivers [02:08] harris: Hi, rejoin #zionpsyfer [02:09] mrichman, I'm not sure about that one, ask again, perhaps someone else will know. [02:09] Ok, im trying to setup this computer that has 3 NIC's to work as a "network Bridge" to the other Windows XP Pro Computer, when i plugin a cable from my router to any of the NICs they work, but when plugging in a cable from This Computer to the other computer it doesnt work, and the lights dont light up and neither computers read them. I want to setup "network bridging" using ip tables [02:09] UnityDividie: okie, thanks =) [02:09] bazhang, where is the alternate download posted ? [02:09] shane2peru: i think i may have found out why....i am logged in via NX [02:09] ah, nvm [02:09] Danish989, no problem :) [02:09] bazhang, I noticed the checkbox, lol [02:09] mrichman, hmm, not familiar with NX [02:09] i installed xchat and it took 200mb for dependencies, but when i remove it it gives me less space whats going on? [02:09] apt-get remove --purge xchat [02:10] Does the DVD version of Ubuntu not have Wubi? [02:10] noys_, it doesn't remove all the dependencies [02:10] 756 kb? [02:10] ahave_, in the mean time, logging out and back in, or restarting X should fix the problem [02:10] noys_, you have to run sudo apt-get autoremove [02:10] UnityDivide, ok. i will try [02:10] aww [02:10] how can you tell if a certain kde program will run in gnome? [02:10] noys_, that will get rid of the extra packages installed and not needed [02:10] nano_: They all can. [02:10] hey i have postfix setupi shard to get smtp auth setup? [02:10] nano_: they all should .. you just have to install some kde packages form to [02:10] nano_, i havent really seen any kde apps that CANT run in gnome. [02:10] nano_: for them too* [02:10] hey, i have some trouble with my hardy... it freezes randomly :< without doing anything special, fresh install with nvidia modul. any idea? [02:11] shane2peru so apt-get autoremove xchat? [02:11] Ultimately they are all X applications, and X is universal. [02:11] I have an Intel 3945ABG Pro Wireless card, it works but hardy's iwl3934 driver does not support monitor mode - ipw3945 is said to provide it - so can I just install this one from http://ipw3945.sourceforge.net/? [02:11] : / hazbang no ones responded [02:11] noys_, no, just suo apt-get autoremove that will clean up whatever was installed before and not needed now. [02:11] Ok, im trying to setup this computer that has 3 NIC's to work as a "network Bridge" to the other Windows XP Pro Computer, when i plugin a cable from my router to any of the NICs they work, but when plugging in a cable from This Computer to the other computer it doesnt work, and the lights dont light up and neither computers read them. I want to setup "network bridging" using ip tables [02:11] aww thank you [02:11] anoble, are you using crossover cables? [02:11] noys_, no problem [02:12] satokun: i think this maybe out of my league, if you can't even get to a grub menu. You gota complicated setup [02:12] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=269235 anoble this should apply to you [02:12] UnityDivide, ok. that worked! thanks [02:13] ahave_, awesome! glad to hear it [02:13] Is there anything i should know, or be aware of, if i am running kde applications under gnome? [02:13] UnityDivide, so you said this is a driver issue? [02:13] nano_, should be fine [02:13] not really nano_, they should run just fine [02:13] Total newbie here, Does anyone have a minute to answer a quick question about "SoundConverter" [02:13] nano_, it will install a lot of extra dependencies, but they should all run fine [02:13] UnityDivide: White Orange - Orange - White Green - Blue - White Blue - Green - White Brown - Brown [02:13] other than needing to hvae the kdelibs installed as prereqs [02:13] ahave_, according to the article I read, yea [02:13] nano_: Resource usage will generally be higher than using just gnome apps or just kde apps. [02:14] Is running kde applications, common? [02:14] under gnome i mean. [02:14] nano_: aye [02:14] nano_, only the initial kde program will install the extra dep's, after that you will be fine [02:14] aye = yes?? [02:14] is it possible [02:14] eww [02:14] nano_: yes [02:14] nano_: 100% safe [02:14] nano_, I ran Kopete for a long while [02:14] nano_, under gnome, not problems [02:14] nano_: thats how every desktop is different .. you create your own desktop :) [02:15] anyone? [02:15] nano_, what apps are you looking at? [02:15] some wifi stuff [02:15] jonny: ask the question and someone will answer if they know [02:15] is it possible to install the ipw driver instead of the iwl one using apt? [02:15] anoble, I think what's happening, is that the cable you are using is connecting the "Transmit" pin on your "bridge" computer, to the "Transmit" pin on the WinXP computer [02:15] although i have found wifi-radar, which is a really cool application [02:15] nano_, should be fine. [02:15] has anyone had problems mounting a mythbuntu samba share? [02:16] anyways, i have a wifi driver that loads by default and it messes up my ndiswrapper....i have tried to blacklist in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist, but it is still loaded.....any ideas how i can fix this? [02:16] UnityDivide: guess ill just make a cross-over tom [02:16] anoble, probably a good idea [02:16] I can mount graphically [02:16] nano_, im not too familiar with that, but maybe try an lsmod and make sure there isn't another module you have to blacklist thats also loading it [02:16] but when I try to automount in the terminal [02:16] it says it can't find it [02:16] fiyawerx: good call, i will check that out. [02:17] how do you print your home directory in a terminal, even if you're not in your home directory (so pwd doesn't work)? [02:17] Lossif: maybe you aren't typing the commands correctly? [02:17] fiyawerx: how can i find the relationship between modules? [02:17] Anyone have a link to a folder sharing setup guide using Ubuntu 8.04 server edition? [02:17] well... [02:17] UnityDivide: hmm wish i could run the cable to my computer then to the router and then to the other computer [02:17] fiyawerx: depmod or something? [02:17] Lossif: if you dont get a good answer here you can ask in #ubuntu-mythtv [02:17] nano_: sudo lsmod ? shows you what module and what its used by, not sure after that [02:17] i seee [02:17] thanks a bunch [02:17] Okay, this may sound totally moronic, but bear with me. in SoundConverter I am compressing files to "High Quality" mp3s with variable bitrate. So the target is 192kbps. Why are the output files coming out at around 150-160kbps [02:17] anoble: Why can't you? [02:17] Can anyone recommend a linux program to remaster DVD's like DVD Shrink? [02:18] does this look ok? [02:18] chris0, you mean list all the contents? [02:18] //192.168.2.6/video /media/share/podcasts cifs [02:18] jonny: If no one is answering, that probably means no one has worked with sound converter [02:18] grte: its like 5 feet that i need more, and its a 47' cable [02:18] shane2peru: no, I mean to display "/home/username/" [02:18] that is is fstab [02:18] Lame. [02:18] q_a_z_steve, k9copy is pretty nice [02:18] q_a_z_steve: try avidemux once you've ripped the DVD [02:18] chris0, pwd, is print working directory [02:18] how do i make my volume louder. the maximum is not very loud at all, [02:18] q_a_z_steve: you tried devede [02:18] jonny: an alternative method of finding an answer, is posting your problem in the ubuntu forums [02:18] Does anyone know of a version of linux with an easy to use GUI that will fit and run fairly well off of a 4gb flash drive ? [02:18] K, I have an Ubuntu LAMP installed, and now I want to access it from another computer, yet see the desktop/etc... is that possible, or do I HAVE to install ubuntu-desktop? [02:18] chris0, not sure on that one. [02:18] jonny: they have a different board there for sound and graphic problems [02:18] grettings [02:18] bigtimer121: alsamixer in the terminal check the settings [02:18] newbie in ubuntu [02:19] can someone help me with an install on a multiple hard drive install? [02:19] until now, interesting. [02:19] 8.04 [02:19] What program do I need to unrar? [02:19] F1N1TY, use ssh [02:19] shane2peru: I'm guessing I need to say $PATH and then use some satanic thing like regex to parse out the foldername.... [02:19] grte: its a custom made cable, i have another 30 footer, but my router had 3 ports that are dead, my dad pulled the cord and broke out half the pins [02:19] maluqinho: how can we help; do you an issue [02:19] F1N1TY: If you access it via SSH, there's no need to have that package on the server, just the client [02:19] Danish989: okay thanks [02:19] EvilAIM: winrar or 7zip [02:19] wtf [02:19] first packages... :-) [02:19] winrar? [02:19] Also lame. [02:19] jonny: No problem. Hope you find your solution soon [02:19] sorry for 2 dumb questions, 1) how do I set timezone in Ubuntu Server 8.04 2) how do I sync with atomic clock? [02:19] chris0, I'm not sure, sorry. [02:19] EvilAIM: http://rarlabs.com [02:19] maluqinho: Welcome aboard :) [02:19] and no one is answering in #ubuntu-mythtv [02:19] shane2peru: no prob [02:19] bazhang: I have the file in .iso and I want to remove certain titles to preserve quality... Can devede do that? [02:20] q_a_z_steve: not sure never tried [02:20] EvilAIM: Not sure on 7zip, if you google it, i'm sure you'll find it. [02:20] I think it can if you mount the DVD [02:20] Danish989: Where can I find that board? [02:20] Anyone running kde 4? [02:20] q_a_z_steve, thoes others mentioned are also good but k9copy will seem most similar to dvd shrink - that doesn't mean it's the best. it will just be somewhat familiar [02:20] jonny: http://ubuntuforums.org/ [02:20] stik: aye [02:20] bazhang: thanks man, helped me out [02:20] thanks [02:20] bigtimer121: good to hear :) [02:20] Huge diff from the 3 series? [02:20] jonny: welcome [02:21] grte: and finding 2 unused RJ-45's is going to be a bummer, since i have pleanty of cables [02:21] stik best to ask in #kubuntu-kde4 but yes huuuge difference [02:21] musashi: I thought that was just for burning, once I have all my VOB's and that... What "others" are you talking about? [02:21] anoble: circuit city, a bag of RJ-45s for $15 I believe [02:21] Well I been using gnome for forever ... was thinking about checking it out.. [02:21] Ubuntu couldnt automatically backup and recover as MAC OSX time machine, could it? [02:22] stik, it does look cool, however, it isn't Gnome. :) [02:22] How do i play Anarchy Online on Ubuntu? [02:22] Punko3: yeah i can get them from my teacher for free, its just that taking the time to do it all [02:22] paulcross: with the pretty gui or just the same function? [02:22] good evening everybody [02:22] anoble: college ? [02:22] stik, I checked it out too, just couldn't stay, too much of a difference, very nice looking though. [02:22] Punko3: it only takes like 5min, and no Vocational [02:22] heh, yeah, I doubt I'll be switching anytime soon... [02:22] bazhang, ANY means will be ok. I just want the function. [02:22] Punko3: im in Info Tech Shop [02:23] anoble: ahh, me too. I was in a networking class here in Fort Wayne [02:23] stik, you can install it though and check it out, the kde4 has a nice look IMHO [02:23] q_a_z_steve, k9copy is very similar to dvd shrink it works from the original dvd. I think you can work from vob too but i've never used it that way [02:23] it is possible to boot Ubuntu from a removable drive like an external hard drive, right? [02:23] Punko3: yeah we do it all [02:23] Punko3: i like programming a little more [02:23] DefineKThyne, yes, you can do this [02:23] !backup | paulcross these may help (esp rsync and sbackup) [02:23] paulcross these may help (esp rsync and sbackup): There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [02:23] anoble: I am working on my Comptia A+ certification and my Desktop Support certifications; they're in windows though [02:23] q_a_z_steve, the "others" were just devede and such that other people replied with. [02:23] can you get the desktop effects on the live cd? [02:23] DefineKThyne, I found a link and installed it to my wife's computer, her cdrom burned up. :) [02:23] anyone feel like helping a complete and utter n00b? I just installed ubuntu for the first time, and I fear I'm so lost that even the documentation pages aren't helping me [02:24] Punko3: yeah im working on A+, CCNA, and ITE [02:24] anoble: I just decided to extend my area of knowledge into the linux field since it's becoming a lot more used by large companies [02:24] stik: which live cd [02:24] should I install http://ieee80211.sourceforge.net/, too? [02:24] anoble: I may do my CCNA next year, I didn't like my instructor this year. [02:24] bazhang, thank you. I go check it out. [02:24] <-- long time slackware user switched ubuntu so forgive my lack of ubuntu knowledge :P [02:24] q_a_z_steve, editing an .iso file will probably not be real easy. i'm sure there are tools to do that but i'm not aware of anything. [02:24] I am slack user too. [02:24] shane2peru: thanks: ) [02:24] musashi: k9copy depends: kdelibs-data kdelibs4c2a libarts1c2a libavahi-qt3-1 liblua50 liblualib50 libopenexr2c2a libqt3-mt vamps THIS ISN'T going to install KDE is it? VOB's are the end result, so that sounds like it should work. [02:24] The kde4 live desktop cd [02:24] ubottu, Thank you,I will go and check it out. [02:24] stik: you mean ubuntu gnome one or kde4 one [02:24] if your a slack user you shoudlnt have a problem [02:24] DefineKThyne, well, actually I think you would be runnig like a live CD enviroment [02:24] Punko3: Same, man! and doing my CCNSP sooner or later, and working on getting my MCAS (Microsft w/e w/e w/e) [02:24] i just installed 8.04 64bit, and i have a gforce 7600gt, and i am stuck in 800x600 mode and the restricted driver is installed any ideas how i can get to1280/1024 [02:25] DefineKThyne, however it did work, booted off my usb stick [02:25] q_a_z_steve, it will install the required kde libraries but not the full kde desktop [02:25] q_a_z_steve: that won't install KDE, just some stuff that some KDE programs need [02:25] stik well not the compiz but some other effects in kde4 one [02:25] okay guys, are corrupted superblocks easy to repair, or should I just reformat? [02:25] kk [02:25] DefineKThyne, make sure you BIOS supports booting off usb [02:25] anoble: MCSA - Microsoft Certified Server Administrator :] [02:25] will try those avidemux and/or k9copy. [02:25] Punko3: yeah thats what w/e w/e w/e meant : ) [02:25] anoble: I am doing that next year along with my Network+, CCNA, and hopefully MCSE [02:25] anoble and Punko3 could you take the chat to #ubuntu-offtopic please thanks [02:25] kk... I'll pop it in and check it out... Thnx for your input guys... [02:25] q_a_z_steve, i think you can open and then burn the vob with k9 but i've never tried so don't quote me [02:25] shane2peru: what i was thinking, more specifically, was that since my friend has a rather large External Seagate, i could boot it from a partition actually off the drive as long as her BIOS does support usb drive. [02:25] sure bazhang [02:25] Punko3: can you get me your AIM/MSN on private chat? [02:26] musashi: I'll play around with them, if not there's always WINE I suppose. [02:26] anoble punko3 you could also create a channel #anoble and chat there [02:26] q_a_z_steve, avidemux is great if you want to transcode something to play on a psp or something [02:26] danbhfive: still here/working with someone? [02:26] 8.04 is running pretty freaking sweet btw.. [02:26] shane2peru: so she's basically got a very large and able Live Session. [02:26] DefineKThyne, I'm pretty sure this is a do-able, I mean if I installed off a usb stick, you should be able to run off a usb drive, it may be a challenge. [02:26] musashi: useful for later then, good. [02:26] q_a_z_steve, k9 does just about everything you will probably want if you are looking for a dvd shrink clone. [02:27] DefineKThyne, right, it will run a lot faster than a live CD too. === smee2 is now known as smee [02:27] shane2peru: i look forward to trying this (: [02:27] anyone that feels like helping a n00b, please send me a private message. I seem to be lost [02:27] DefineKThyne, let me look for the link that I used, if I can find it. [02:27] legatic: lost with what? [02:27] musashi: is it that good? I thought it just straight out copied stuff--I must have not been doing it right [02:27] legatic: what's the first thing you can't do?

[02:28] bazhang, well, it's good at being a dvd shrink clone. it's doesn't do all the stuff avidemux or some of the other hard core tools will do [02:28] when I try it, it just tells me that access is denied, rather than giving me a chance to enter the password [02:28] spits* [02:28] whoops [02:28] musashi: thanks--will have to try again :) [02:29] legatic, better do it using the command line, sudo rm , you can always drag drop the file in the terminal after you wrote the first bit [02:29] bazhang, rsync and what? I forgot the last ones name. [02:29] DefineKThyne, I think it was right in the community docs, let me look again [02:29] paulcross: sbackup [02:29] danbhfive: well I did the find stage1, and it gave me three options, hd1,0 hd2,0 and hd2,2. I'm not sure which one is my 8.04 drive to set as root. [02:29] legatic: in a terminal type sudo gedit/etc/file - file=what you want to call it [02:29] Can anyone help me? I need help configuring apache2 in Ubuntu 8.04 so that it parses the PHP pages. Firefox prompts me to download the PHP pages.

[02:29] hey anyone with success in fwbuilder, I have a firewall built, and it compiles, and im sure its right, and when i try to install it tells me that a connection to localhost ssh port 22 was refused [02:29] just blacklist the module [02:29] satokun: I think its hd1,0 [02:30] and does the same go for installing things? I downloaded the latest non-beta version of firefox and I'm not sure if I should install it in /etc or in my home dir somewhere. also, is just extracting it enough to get it running? [02:30] bazhang, since dvd shrink seems to be a dead project (last i checked the most recent update was 2005 or something) k9 seems even better comparatively. [02:30] shane2peru: Thanks [02:30] I'm so lost in this, but interested in learning [02:30] ommegang: please describe with more details; if someone knows they will answer [02:30] satokun, which one is your ubuntu partiton ? /devsd** [02:30] danbhfive: thanks for all your help by the way. [02:30] legatic, re: firefox beta's, it's best to stick with what's in the repository [02:30] when i save just the compiled though it is in xml form and therefore isn't able to be run [02:30] *sigh* [02:30] legatic, it'll be updated soon [02:30] ^ when i just save the compiled output [02:30] musashi: much appreciated--will look into it more closely for sure :) [02:30] if there's a new beta [02:30] legatic: you're better off getting firefox-2 from the synaptic package manager [02:30] !who | EVERYONE [02:30] EVERYONE: As you can see, this is a large channel.

I can dial the modem and use it via network monitor. Activate/Deactivate are greyed out. [02:40] What am I doing wrong? [02:40] Pelo: thanks for the help [02:40] * Yaro volunteers to help! [02:40] sebsebseb: What do you mean repositoy/network? [02:40] danbhfive: one sec, I think I know where I messed up. [02:40] what would cause dhcp to over ride a static ip manually set through editing /etc/network/interfaces [02:40] Coder8, you didn't have to google for two days you just had to keep reading that,s the page in the link [02:40] /home's at %100 [02:40] foxhop: the synaptic package manager [02:40] bazhang: I am getting an error with the alternate install. After I setup the disk partitions, it says No Root File system [02:40] chooch1: why do you need compiz for games--best to just disable it when running games [02:40] Sylphid: it could be the word "auto" next to the interface's name [02:40] I don't need it for games [02:40] bazhang: i am on pure gnome hardy but if i do sudo aptitude install xubuntu-desktop then later do aptitude --purge remove xubuntu-desktop will it remove everything xubuntu-desktop even xubuntu codecs and apps and folders? [02:40] furicle, you probably need to select the modem [02:41] sebsebseb: I just looked there, what should I type as a search entry?

[02:42] Starnestommy, nope not at all [02:42] o [02:42] thx [02:42] yo [02:42] Greencoat1982, I can probably help [02:42] i use virtual box all the time, it's excellet [02:42] Pelo: okay, before I go down a long road of trouble on another topic... any simple fixes for getting sound to work in wine + oblivion? :P [02:42] _probably_ [02:42] furicle, select the decice did you try clicking the unlock button ? [02:42] yeah chooch1: yeah the effects can cause problems [02:42] Sylphid: don't know why it would be ignored - you can sudo /etc/init.d networking restart to see if the file is used [02:42] chooch1: yeah the effects can cause problems [02:42] eboyjr: try sticking this in your index.html file : refresh and see if you see a bunch of php info [02:42] sebsebseb: I get some widgets and a few mouse and display drivers [02:43] ok I running hardy, have VB running xp pro sp2 [02:43] Coder8, select the correct audio device from winecfg , that,s the only suggestion I hve [02:43] foxhop: normally people in this channel would recommend virtualbox instead of VMware [02:43] zionpsyfer, Do you mean index.php? [02:43] danbhfive: should I try reinstalling grub to root at 2,0? [02:43] can you tell if the developers of compiz are working to fix it? [02:43] zionpsyfer: you should always use eboyjr: Gah, yes. [02:43] What is the best file system for ubuntu ? [02:43] foxhop: however I think there is not a proper version of it for hardy yet, but the Gutsy one may work for you [02:43] I have the Zune.exe on my ubuntu partition and I want to acces it from the guest OS so I can install it [02:43] Punko3: That's a matter of personal preference. [02:43] Pelo: okay, thanks anyway [02:43] It's 'greyed out' when I come at it thru the modem applet. I can't push it. It works fine when I come at it from Network montir [02:43] satokun: I think you need to find your hardy install, actually [02:43] Yaro, it seems to me that Ubuntu doesn't like NTFS [02:43] foxhop: as for VMware you may have to enable the universe server or something, or just download it from there site [02:44] satokun: I'm still unsure if its on the second or first drive [02:44] ere4si, its not ignored per say what appears to happen is when i restart networking the static is applied as expected but when the dhcp lease expires it renews it ignoring the static [02:44] * Pelo finds this whole new policy kit thing and unlock button a bit disorienting [02:44] Punko3: Oh? I can use NTFS no problems. Perhaps you can describe your trouble. [02:44] Linux doesn't like NTFS because NTFS is stupid :P [02:44] What package should I install to get a Java 6 browser plugin in Hardy? My Java plugin's been broken ever since the upgrade from Gutsy, and I haven't had any luck installing the various java plugin packages. [02:44] chooch1: it's not a compiz problem, but the X driver people are working on it [02:44] ok [02:44] zionpsyfer, Hmm... it works... [02:44] * furicle agrees policy kit weird [02:44] Wow [02:44] I'm trying to spec out a box to run some virtual machines on Hardy. I'd like to run a couple virtual web servers that will serve some dev sites only accessed by me, and some windows app machines. No huge performance necessary, but I'd like them not to be terribly pokey in the interface, etc. Any ideas? They have some nice, off lease dual core xeon servers on ebay on one end, or a home built micro atx box on the other end. [02:44] Punko3, ntfs doesn'T like linux , ms doesn'T play well with others [02:44] Sylphid: can you paste /etc/network/interfaces? [02:44] I don't know if I'm just looking over the answer in the docs [02:44] iirc, NTFS mounts read-only by default, no? [02:44] Cale: you should be able to get a sun java mozilla plugin from the synaptic package manager [02:44] danbhfive: well since the grub install setting it for 1,0 throws errors, it must be the 2,0 [02:44] another thing is, I'm looking for dj turntable software, to mix mp3 for fun [02:45] satokun: if you are getting a grub menu, then I don't think you need to reinstall grub [02:45] eboyjr: K, so it's phpmyadmin then. [02:45] do u know any? I couldn't find anything in synaptic [02:45] is there a commandline option I can use to get firefox to start with a new session? Firefox refuses to start (the process starts, but nothing loads) since my last click of Save & Quit [02:45] chooch1: audocity that should do it [02:45] ere4si, http://paste.ubuntu.com/9356/ [02:45] chooch1: this is hardy or gutsy [02:45] rhsanborn: you could probably build something decent for yourself off of newegg.com [02:45] chooch1, audacity [02:45] Pelo: No, MS doesn't, but I haven't hd trouble with ntfs-3g, which has been included in Ubuntu since... 7.10... I think. [02:45] sebsebseb: yes, I should. I've tried quite a few packages (sun-java6-plugin and icedtea-java7-plugin among them) and none cause anything to show up in about:plugins [02:45] zionpsyfer, That is extremely weird. Well, thanks... I will test some more stuff. [02:45] pelo: yeah thanks pelo I meant audacity :) [02:45] it's hardy [02:45] why? [02:45] which might be better value for money for you [02:45] danbhfive: possibly then command line grub to fix it then? no idea how to go about that though [02:46] are there a channel about java applet in this server [02:46] danbhfive: or would the problem be in the menu file? [02:46] eboyjr : I'm running hardy w/ xp pro sp2 , I have my zune.exe on the linux host, and want to access it with my xp guest, is that possible [02:46] Apallo, think a decent spec proc with a pair of SATAs and a couple gigs of RAM would hack it? [02:46] hellues, try #java [02:46] Cale: so you installed from the network, but Firefox still has no working Java plugin? [02:46] java dont answer me [02:46] sebsebseb: right. [02:46] might want to go quad core, but yeah [02:46] Sylphid: that looks right [02:46] eboyjr: No worries. If I may, Navicat has worked well as a replacement for phpmyadmin for me. [02:46] ppl in java channel dont answer me about java applet [02:46] Cale: I think you may be able to download one from there site [02:46] sup you guys. i need some clue-sticking [02:46] What would be the best file system for Ubuntu ? [02:46] amenado, just to follow up yesterday's assistance you offered... [02:47] Greencoat1982, You can set up shared folders. [02:47] gramble welcom to ubuntu :) [02:47] satokun: it can't hurt to try that though. I would also suggest to try changing menu.lst so that root for hardy is (hd0,0) instead of hd1,0 [02:47] Punko3, ext3 is the most commonly used fs. [02:47] nice! [02:47] Thanks Dr_willis [02:47] Greencoat1982, guest what , guest os on virtual box ? check on digg there is an article about installing virtualbox with usb support [02:47] sebsebseb: Yeah, I've been thinking I might have to do a manual install of the JRE. [02:47] wow firefox won't even start with -safe-mode [02:47] Punko3: by default it uses Ext3 which is fine [02:47] thx. it's neat to dive in. [02:47] eboyjr: An alternative if you can't get phpmyadmin working. [02:47] amenado, the driver installed but the network manager did not detect the wireless card [02:47] Punko3, its also the default :) [02:47] Sylphid: why, with a static ip address, do you have a dhcp lease? [02:47] After upgrading to hardy, my trackpoint scroll does not work. I have read many of ubuntu forum post and wiki, but I still dont know how I can make it work. Any advice?? [02:47] (it's just that I figured that seems pretty wrong :) [02:47] ere4si, i had this problem in fedora befor i switched and had to disable network-manager to get it to stop using dhcp, as far as i can tel network-manager is not installed on 8.04 correct? [02:47] amenado, a modprobe ndiswrapper got it to work [02:47] Cale: yeah Java can be a bit of a pain to install in Ubuntu I say from experience [02:47] eboyjr do I use the VB proggy or the ubuntu os to setup the shared foldews [02:47] danbhfive: I'll give that a shot. Don't let me keep you over though if you need to be off. [02:48] ere4si, no clue..... i dont want one [02:48] i need to know what do to next: I've got root on my new linux box. [02:48] rhsanborn: i would try to go x64 if you can too, so you can use 4+ gig of ram [02:48] sebsebseb, shouldn't java installations be easier soon since sun is supposedly opensourcing the parts that made it not able to be pre-packaged? [02:48] Sylphid: it is installed - in control center I think [02:48] !who | Gramble [02:48] Gramble: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [02:48] eboyjr I see it now, I'm just an idiot [02:48] Greencoat1982, Do you have VB Guest Additions installed on the Guest OS ( winxp )? [02:48] Ive never had any java install issues. I just normally install the Ubuntu-restricted-extras package. and it grabs the java runtime stuff for me. [02:48] Apallo, indeed. I won't be jumping to 4G off the bat (wallet restricting). The only thing that bugs me is the limited x64 package support. [02:48] gramble if you explain what you are trying to do then whoever knows will likely answer thanks [02:48] ere4si, any hints on how to manage it via cli..... not running a gui on this box [02:49] TarDy: will if the plugin is true open source or free software I supopuse it will be in Ubuntu by default and even Debian for that matter a pure free software distro [02:49] thanks for the point in the right direction [02:49] Greencoat1982, glad i could help, lol [02:49] TaRDy-> so everything okay now? [02:49] TarDy: yes Debian will have it by default if it's proper free software [02:49] rhsanborn: this is true [02:49] Greencoat1982, Heres a link if you want: http://www.mepislovers.org/forums/showthread.php?t=5152 [02:49] what's the closest program to msn messenger? I really don't like the alternatives for linux.. [02:49] amenado, yes thank you for your help [02:49] satokun: yeah, I need to sign off [02:49] hey how is everyone's experience with happy heron? [02:49] Apallo, It doesn't mean that I can't run x86 binaries until someone catches up though. [02:49] Sylphid: I use the interfaces file for that... [02:49] Apallo, good idea. === Ordius is now known as DarkW0lf [02:49] TaRDy-> you're welcome [02:49] rhsanborn: yep [02:49] satokun: last suggestion: http://users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/p15.htm#First_method:_direct_kernel_boot. [02:49] bazhang: so I'll obey the ubottu and address my explanation to you? [02:50] ok thanks again eboyjr, I'm off to wreck some stuff now [02:50] chooch1: yeah the alternatives aren't that good, but Kmess and AMSN are the closest to MSN [02:50] satokun: maybe you can try that, and see if you can find the hardy install that way. [02:50] ive got a mp4 video file and i want to extract just the audio.. any help ??? [02:50] satokun: good luck! [02:50] Can someone Private message me to help me with the partitioning on ubuntu [02:50] Gramble: I may not know; but the other much smarter folks here just may [02:50] Greencoat1982, Hah, knock yrself out! ;) [02:50] ere4si, locate doesnt yield anything named network-manager [02:50] Punko3: yep I can do that [02:51] too bad. I Just installed audacious and it's not for mixing... it's just a player like winamp [02:51] how do i delete a desktop item? [02:51] Sylphid: that's a gui thing - and you have no gui - is it something with your router resetting or similar? [02:51] chooch1: no not audacious [02:51] chooch1: audacity [02:51] chooch1: audacity [02:51] can i post links to my question on launchpad here or is that bad etiquette? my question was a bit long for all the traffic here and i don't get a lot of help on the answer tracker - i mainly give it :) [02:51] bigtimer121: Unless it is a mounted drive/partition, just select it and hit delete. [02:51] ere4si, why would the router be forcing dhcp requests? [02:51] Does nobody use modem monitor? I see bug#54790 is from 2006! and still applies.... [02:51] yaro: it is mounted. i can't unmount it [02:52] how can i check to see what nvidia drivers i am using [02:52] bigtimer121: Are you getting a specific error when you try unmounting. [02:52] ere4si, now that you mention it though this did start happening shortly after replacing my old router [02:52] chooch1: mixxx was fun to play with too. No clue how useful it would be for really trying to mix though. [02:52] ahave_: Are you using the proprietary drivers? [02:52] bazhang: gotcha. my new host (tummy.com) just popped my cherry and I've got SSH into root on Breezy. Shouldn't I create a user or two so I have something other than root to use? Isn't that next? [02:52] it's just a sound editor.. [02:52] Sylphid: never had your issue - looking for clues [02:52] Yaro, yes... i think so. but not sure? [02:52] mixxx has no turntables too [02:52] I'm having problmes getting Banchee to work in Hardy [02:52] yaro: it says it cannot send to trash or delete [02:52] Sylphid: there you go [02:52] hi everyone [02:53] ahave_: Go into system -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers and see. [02:53] what is the critical level battery [02:53] stupid question, since the stable hardy release, have there been any updates? [02:53] bigtimer121: You don't unmount a drive that way. [02:53] yaro: how do i unmount? [02:53] while booting the ubuntu loading bar doesnt show up...any ideas how to get it??? [02:53] I haven't seen any in a while.. and I'm wondering if update manager hasn't updated or something... is there a way to check? [02:53] bigtimer121_: Right click it and click unmount. And it will be gone. But you won't be able ot access it without remounting. [02:53] i'm talking about something like http://www.virtualdj.com/products/virtualdj/screenshot.html [02:53] ere4si, ........ im totaly confused by that though... i mean time line matches up .... but that confuses me to the point of taking a shotgun to my computer [02:53] Yaro, is there a command line command to tell? i am using a diffrent build and does not included the normal menus [02:54] Sylphid: shoot the router not the comp [02:54] yaro: nothing happens when i click unmount [02:54] ahave_: I do not know. Anyone here who knows who can answer? [02:54] which is the best music player for ubuntu8.04? who knows? [02:54] hakie: I like Amarok, myself. [02:54] ere4si, i need a new one of both =P [02:54] hehe [02:54] I'm on the banshee bandwagon myself [02:54] chooch1: Yeah, I haven't seen anything like virtualdj. Let me know if you run across anything though, I've a few friends who'd love one. [02:55] Hi, While booting the ubuntu loading bar doesnt show up...any ideas how to get it??? [02:55] bigtimer121: You can always use the command line: 'sudo umount /dev/' [02:55] I just remembered, maybe it can run through wine, what do you say? [02:55] amarok? i will try it [02:56] Wow -- [02:56] why people in java answer the quuenstion about java [02:56] This release had a lot of problems for me -- intel video caps-lock-blinked the kernel... [02:56] i wonna complain this [02:56] and the wireless drops out randomly... [02:56] are there a channel to complain ? [02:56] chooch1: Maybe. Never tried it before. [02:57] zionpsyfer, look: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=1704 [02:57] hellues: what do you want to complain about and how is this related to ubuntu? [02:57] how can i extract mediawiki-1.12.0.tar.gz [02:57] hellues: all complaints to /dev/null [02:57] arvind_khadri: in /boot/grub/menu.lst do you have quiet splash at the end of the kernel line? [02:57] i ask a quenstion about java [02:57] orudie: tar xzf mediawiki-1.12.0.tar.gz [02:57] ere4si, yeah [02:57] chooch1: Nice, gold even. [02:57] right [02:57] So how's Hardy guys :D? [02:57] kewl, I forgot about wine... [02:58] Should I install gd2 for php5 with yum? I have PHP running as an apache module. [02:58] ere4si, its the splash screen,the orange bar am talking about [02:58] about java applet nobody answer me to my quenstion [02:58] needed lots of work for me... :( [02:58] hellues: what exactly is your ubuntu support question? [02:58] did they fix the ndiswrapper issue? [02:58] arvind_khadri: that should have it showing [02:58] i joined java channel [02:58] danbhfive: if you're still here, I edited menu so that my heron install was pointed to 0,0, and it's booted fine. Thanks much for all your help today. :D [02:58] Hardy's nice. but for some reason some sabma program (forgot the name) crashed repeatedly [02:58] and i ask a quenstion about java applet [02:58] samba? [02:58] nobody answer me about java [02:58] arvind_khadri: do you have the file /etc/usplash.conf? [02:58] ere4si, i know,but its been like this since 7.10 didnt have this in 7.04... [02:59] hellues: this channel is for ubuntu support, it's not for discussing other channels. Do you have an ubuntu question? [02:59] ere4si, ok let me check up [02:59] Gutsy was giving me hard locks, so I had to revert back to Windows. [02:59] hellues, nobody is required to answer. people volunteer their time. [02:59] helluses: so your java applets don't work. Java plugin in Firefox? [02:59] hellues: be patient and try again when some different (perhaps more knowledgeable) people are in the channel. [02:59] chooch1: Heh, same. Never really considered it I guess. Wine's getting pretty decent. [02:59] Should I wait to get Hardy? It just came out :3 [02:59] hellues, maybe you did not wait long enough or nobody was around [02:59] ere4si, loacate cannot open itself [02:59] i wonna tell this situtation to someone [02:59] ryugaka: The server lag is almost gone. Shouldn't be too hard to get the ISO now. [03:00] Hardy even solved some ATI mobility driver issue that kept me trying to fix for hours in Gutsy [03:00] hellues: your offtopic, please do not discuss the issue here anymore [03:00] you're [03:00] !usplash | arvind_khadri [03:00] arvind_khadri: To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork [03:00] Gutsy was working fine for me, until last week. [03:00] I'm not even sure why it started screwing up. [03:00] arvind_khadri: run that command and see the output [03:00] how do I preview, it doesn't seem to want to play [03:00] ere4si, ok [03:00] ryugaka: Could you be more specific? [03:00] But Hardy had an ndiswrapper issue. [03:00] k9copy that is. [03:00] ryugaka, what happened? [03:01] hey all... [03:01] My computer would just freeze. [03:01] bazhang: did you see my question? [03:01] And 2 buttons on my laptop would flash over and over again. [03:01] 8.04 seems a bit slow on my machine. sometimes the screen becomes grey.why? [03:01] musashi: Starnestommy ^^^ [03:01] ere4si, ok done [03:01] hakie, have you checked the system monitor? [03:01] I have run the command sleep 1000; halt ,but now I dont want my system to shutdown. How do I stop it? [03:01] hakie, individual applications go grey when they aren't responding [03:01] arvind_khadri: did it find a usplash? [03:02] q_a_z_steve, yes? [03:02] how do I preview, it doesn't seem to want to play [03:02] hakie, I find 8.04 is overzealous with this and Firefox 3 does it really often [03:02] ere4si, it said only one theme which provides it and stuff [03:02] Gramble: yes, sorry; breezy? is that still supported? you may want to get a more recent version :) [03:02] q_a_z_steve, oh, preview? yeah that seems to be kind of hit or miss. sometimes works. sometimes doesn't [03:02] quien juega openarena aki? [03:03] i really know nothing of sql, but I am trying to setup a database using mysql on my "server" downstairs, and then hook up openoffice to it from my client upstairs. For the most part, I know what I'm doing. However, for some reason, it won't connect. I feel that it is probably a config file or something, maybe even "sql user privelages" on the server side, but I'm not sure. [03:03] yes .firefox3 often happens . [03:03] !es | Amonxz [03:03] Amonxz: Aquí solamente hablamos inglés. Para Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es - allí obtendrá más ayuda. [03:03] eww, well is that disc to disc, or computer to computer that it will or won't work? [03:03] arvind_khadri: then sudo update-grub and reboot to see [03:03] i upgraded directly from a fresh,default gutsy install to hardy via update manager and i got a few errors while the install was going.i got a kernel upgrade error saying packets were unavailable,a metacity error saying the same thing,and a compiz-gnome error.any clues why? [03:03] i know sorry i forgot bout the -es [03:03] Is there a way to remove a wireless network from the "known" networks so that the network manager will stop auto-connecting to it? [03:03] bazhang: np. so i just hang around for ... how long? [03:03] q_a_z_steve, drill down through the chapters. sometimes it will preview if you get to the lower levels of the chapter/title [03:03] evilbug: I know its not helpful, but the best way to upgrade is still typically a clean install. [03:03] ere4si, ok thanks rebooting :) [03:03] k [03:04] so yeah, i was gonna install hardy but i had plenty of wireless issues with my dell 1501 [03:04] q_a_z_steve, my experience is disc to disc as it sometimes works for me and sometimes doesn't [03:04] so i decided to wait, but i hate windows :( [03:04] kk [03:04] Yaro- i was planning on doing that tomorrow when i finally get some working blank cd's. [03:04] guys.. I get no answer on #samba [03:04] evilbug: Though you'll have to backup your data unless you have /home mounted on another partition like I do. [03:04] what should I do? [03:04] see ya guys [03:05] hey gang [03:05] Gramble: you have breezy--you really should get a supported version; you want to setup a server, a minimal install or what--could you please clarify? [03:05] Yaro- ubuntu is not my primary os,so i don't keep anything important in it.last week when i upgraded the same way,i had 2 separate ubuntu entries in the grub boot menu. [03:05] i really know nothing of sql, but I am trying to setup a database using mysql on my "server" downstairs, and then hook up openoffice to it from my client upstairs. For the most part, I know what I'm doing. However, for some reason, it won't connect. I feel that it is probably a config file or something, maybe even "sql user privelages" on the server side, but I'm not sure. So does anyone know of perhaps another channel that would help [03:05] evilbug: Then it sounds like you're all set. XD [03:05] can anyone point me in the right directions for installing beryl on ubuntu 8.04?? [03:05] ubuntu_: Beryl doesn't even exist anymore. Compiz-Fusion. [03:05] matt___: Mysql by default only allows connections from localhost. You'll need to edit my.cnf and also allow set up the user so they're allowed to log in from other hosts. (in the users table iirc. % being wildcard) [03:06] ubuntu_, Beryl is not developed anymore. It merged back with Compiz into Compiz Fusion. [03:06] ubuntu_, i think beryl is more or less gone. it's compiz now [03:06] Yaro- and now i'm getting more errors...nautilus,gnome-applets... [03:06] !compiz | ubuntu_ [03:06] ubuntu_: Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion [03:06] !compiz | ubuntu_ [03:06] evilbug: Yyyyyyyeah, I recommend that clean install. [03:06] oh... thanks everyone === qwiksand is now known as roshane [03:06] hi everyone [03:06] Yaro- BUT I WANT THIS TO WORK!!!!!AAAARRRRRGGGGHHHHH,PIRATES! [03:06] bazhang: right. my first step is to upgrade. I've got a new virtual dedicate server from tummy.com. they provide SSH and root and nothing else. [03:06] ubuntu_, system-prefs-appearance and set the visual effect to extra. if you have the 3d drivers installed it should just work [03:07] sebsebseb: aha! I tried moving my old .mozilla out of the way and it showed up. Copying things like my bookmarks back into the new profile fixed the problem. sun-java6 is working now :) [03:07] zionpsyfer: i noticed that localhost thing, but what should it be? right now it is 127.0.0.1...but what should it be? the ip of my client? And please explain the user part a little more...but I think you've almost got me there :) [03:07] bazhang: so from what context do I need to run the apt-get upgrade process? from root?!!? === qwiksand is now known as DeviantMIND [03:07] Yaro- last time i blamed it on the connection being to solicited and packages not downloading all the data. [03:07] evilbug: And it will, probably after a clean install. Upgrading through the Update Manager can cause problems. [03:08] matt___: 0.0.0.0 [03:08] I just upgraded both my laptop and desktop to Ubuntu Hardy, which comes with FF3 beta. The desktop will ask to save open tabs upon close, but the laptop doesn't. Is this an Ubuntu problem or a Firefox problem? And doesn't anyone know how to fix it? [03:08] Starnestommy: say what? [03:08] Gramble: so you can install on this server via ssh only? [03:08] hey anyone, Im using fwbuilder to run build a firewall, and anycase I have my firewall all set up, and using linux and iptables, so i press compile and save, and what i get out is an xml file... ok thank you but i don't think xml can be run in terminal too easy... [03:08] Starnestommy: would that be what replaces 127.0.0.1? [03:08] Yaro- and now it just told me that my system will be in an unusable state :( NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO [03:08] matt___: the bind-address setting in my.cnf should be 0.0.0.0 if you want it to allow connections from outside [03:08] ere4si, doesnt help...when i boot into the system it says "Cannot Allocate Region xxxxxxx" [03:08] Yaro- i guess i know what i'll do tomorrow :) [03:08] evilbug: Best of luck to you! [03:09] Starnestommy: ok...editing...now do you know how to setup a user correctly to allow it? === qwiksand is now known as DeviantMIND [03:09] if i do sudo aptitude instaoo xubuntu-desktop then later do sudo aptitude --purge remove xubunut-desktop will it remove everything xubuntu even codecs? [03:09] arvind_khadri: are you running a xserver? [03:09] hello GUYs [03:09] ere4si, hmm i dont know what it means [03:09] matt___: Heh, no worries. I'll dig up a link. [03:09] ere4si, could you explain more === TheOzFalcon is now known as ZapO [03:10] zionpsyfer: I'd appreciate that a lot... [03:10] arvind_khadri: using a command line install or with a desktop? [03:10] david_-_-, I'm pretty sure that will only remove things related to xubuntu-desktop and not required by anything else. (So most likely not codecs) [03:10] guys, I get no answer at #samba, what should I do? [03:10] guess what? i can learn all i've always wanted to learn about Ubuntu now, i finished University today...just did my last exam [03:10] chooch1: Have patience! [03:10] ere4si, desktop === ZapO is now known as CruftyFalcon [03:11] So Hardy is ok eh? [03:11] Yaro, u mean like hours? [03:11] Ahadiel: how do i remove everything xubuntu sudo aptitude --purge remove xubuntu-desktop && xubuntu ? [03:11] chooch1: Perhaps finding another channel, possibly on other servers, that can help you with Samba? [03:11] arvind_khadri: when do you get that message? - after grub starts? [03:11] okay if i have 4 GIG of RAM shouldnt ubuntu recognize all 4 GIGs of ram even on a 32 bit version on the OS? only 3.2 gig are being recognized ...my motherboard supports upto 4 GIG of ram. any help? thank you [03:11] hey guys ever since the upgrade to Hardy, i have no wifi ... anyone know why that would be? [03:11] ere4si, after i select the kernel from the list ... === CruftyFalcon is now known as OzFalcon [03:12] Yaro, I don't know any, I didn't use linux for a long time [03:12] matt___: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/how-do-i-enable-remote-access-to-mysql-database-server.html explains the my.cnf part. [03:12] /msg ubottu etiquette [03:12] last time I had linux it was Debian... [03:12] zionpsyfer: Starnestommy when trying to connect now, it tells me that (my internal ip) is not allowed to connect to server...so i think all i have to do is to setup a user that can login remotely... [03:12] chooch1: I am sorry. I do not know where else you can find help. [03:12]  whabo - 32 bit ubuntu only has access to 4 gb worth of memory addresses [03:12] testing Gramble [03:12] I think the next upgrade needs to be more of a diplomatic one rather than a functional one. If they can get enough driver support so that Ubuntu "just works," then it will really appeal to a vast majority. [03:12] matt___: did you restart mysql? [03:13] Starnestommy: yes [03:13] I have a problem with usplash - after installing a 2nd OS (debian for example) my usplash stops working correctly. About 10 seconds in to the boot process usplash reverts to text mode at "reading files needed to boot". From there it carries on in text mode until gdm starts. I can't figure out how to correct this. [03:13] foxhop: i have 4 gig of ram only 3.2 is recognized [03:13] Yaro, thanks, I'll try #samba later [03:13] matt___: correct. Look in the mysql db inside the user table [03:13]  whabo: You have to remember that video card memory needs to be addressed as well [03:13] Shpook: Anecdotal as it is, my experience with Ubuntu is that it "just works." [03:13] arvind_khadri: well it is looking for the usplash and can't display it - give me a min to see what I can find [03:13] >_> [03:13] hey did anyone in here ever run ubuntu 8.05 from a usb? [03:13] It takes me 2 hours to get my ubuntu config proper. [03:13] Before I like it. [03:13] ubuntu_: I haven't run it yet. Though I have with 7.10. [03:14] Yaro: I wish I could say the same. Granted, I enjoy the challenge, but I have had never ending driver issues. [03:14] anyone know how to get wifi working on hardy? [03:14] ere4si, take your rime [03:14] zionpsyfer: like i said..i know nothing really of sql, use it at work some (microsoft sql, windows, etc :( so where is the user table? [03:14] Shppok: What drivers are not working? [03:14] whabo: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=471721 [03:14] i install it on my 8gig usb, i run it and login and thats as far as it goes [03:14] foxhop: my video card is not the reason. because i am only seeing 3.2 ram where by when i had 2 gig of ram. the whole 2 gig were recognized [03:14] Damn Linux is good. I just finished migrating all my apps (.config) from fedora to ubuntu. No problems and pretty easy. [03:14] testing Gramble [03:14] Is there a good modtracker software for Ubuntu, like openMPT? I used to know of one but i have completely forgot the name. [03:14] tobddEDM [03:14] never kicks over to the desktop, just sits there [03:14] er Todd. [03:14] hey guys, can someone give me a hand with installing a webcam? I am not sure where to find the settings and my cam doesnt seem to work without some cnfig [03:14] What kind of computer do you have? [03:14] anyone ever see or hear about that before? [03:15] Yaro: Everything is fine now, but on my laptop I had issues with Intel graphics and wireless, and my desktop with Nvidia graphics and Alcatel sound. [03:15] any idea why raid drivers would load *before* ide drivers at boot? due to this, i think my friends kernel raid doesn't get auto-setup at boot :/ [03:15] Or he's gone. [03:15] has anyone had any problems getting banshee to work on Hardy? [03:15] Shpook: Ah. [03:15] Whabo: due to the nature of 32 bit, there is only so many memory addresses to be given out [03:15] If anyone else has an Dell Inspiron 1501 look here ubuntu1501.com [03:15] fryfrog, define 'ide driver' [03:15] whabo: You hit the max [03:15] fryfrog, which module are you looking at? [03:15] Also, I cannot get rosegarden to work right. it says it cannot connect to jack audio server. what package is that in exactly? i already installed jackd [03:15] sorry im here , its a desktop.. with a wmp54g [03:15] arvind_khadri: is it a standard ubuntu kernel? [03:15] matt__, you just need to be able to connect to the mysql server remotely from another box? [03:15] matt:___: there is a database named 'mysql' that contains configuration info [03:15] ere4si, yeah!!!! [03:15] cwillu: in dmesg, i see output from "md" *then* after that i see output from "ata" [03:16] Are you trying to use ndiswrapper? [03:16] zionpsyfer: oh, that's what that is...so what do i do with it? [03:16] ere4si, i installed using a canonical shipped cd [03:16] k [03:16] jcooke: correct...for now anyways... [03:16] AnthroTechie: hang on a sec [03:16] ryugaka: it was working under gutsy... i dunno why it wouldnt work on hardy [03:16] cwillu: as in, at boot, the md module/driver is loading, looking for devices, finding none... *then* the ata/sata driver is loading and finding the disks. which of course, does the auto-detection of md no good [03:16] bazhang: okay [03:16] Whabo, this addressing of memory allocation you see has to do with swap file...The swapped file needs addressing too [03:16] matt___, the simplest thing would just to do "GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'user'@'hostname' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';" [03:17] Ahadiel: would that remove all xubuntu stuff if i did it that way as well sudo aptitude --purge remove xubuntu ? after i did the remove xubuntu-desktop? [03:17] fryfrog, what does your /etc/modules look like? [03:17] cwillu: on my own system, the ata drivers load first (in initrd i'd imagine), then the md drivers load === chmac_away is now known as chmac [03:17] the_darkside_986, have you tried "soundtracker" or "Cheesetracker"? [03:17] cwillu: lemme look [03:17] soundtracker is the exact name i was looking for. thanks. [03:17] Whabo: swap + Memory must be less then 4 [03:17] matt___, for hostname, you may just want to do 192.168.1.% [03:17] or = to [03:17] cwillu: is /etc/modules loaded at boot time from initrd? or at boot time after the system starts up? [03:17] foxhop: oh okay thank you [03:17] i still can't figure out how to get the jack audio server to work though [03:17] can someone explain to me why ubuntu does not have the same firefox package naming problem as debian? both ship with patches, yes? [03:17] jcooke: oh, so I think that makes sense, and I run that in mysql, or mysqladmin, because that gets confusing... === elninja is now known as Arrr [03:18] ere4si, ok i found it [03:18] I have two issues: one can I stop firefox from getting focus when I click a hyperlink in evolution? two: when can I put a script (or link to a script) to be run when I login to gdm? [03:18] matt___, in mysql [03:18] ere4si, i think so [03:18] " [03:18] arvind_khadri: what was it? [03:18] sparr: Ubuntu uses its own repositories. They could have simply fixed it themselves and publushed it. [03:18] matt___: in the user table, there is a column named host. updated it to either the ip(s) you want or just use '%' if you're not exposing it to the outside world. [03:18] the_darkside_986, I think timidity can play them also (if you just want a simple player) [03:18] jcooke: i think that makes sense [03:18] matt___, http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/grant.html may help you any further [03:18] I need a music editor. something like OpenMPT. [03:18] jcooke: thanks [03:18] ere4si, need to install somethings wait a sec will give you the link [03:18] OpenMPT runs fine in Wine and is open source, but I'd rather not deal with Wine atm. [03:18] ere4si, https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/23165 [03:19] ToddEDM, did u try using WIndows Wireless Drivers through synaptic? [03:19] whenever I try to run an autogen.sh I keep getting **Error**: You must have `glib' installed. [03:19] foxhop, 32bit can use more than 4gb, it just can't use more than 4gb in any one process [03:19] Yaro: i was under the impression that Mozilla forbids distributing custom binaries with the mozilla trademarks on them? debian has their own repositories too. [03:19] anyone able to help setup a webcam in ubuntu? [03:19] microwaver: i cant get online [03:19] matt___, it's important that you do the user hostname quoted exactly like I did, user and host in quotes, the @ not in the quotes [03:19] cwillu: my server at home loads scsi drivers, *then* raid (this is all during kernel boot) and doesn't have "md" or anything in /etc/modules [03:19] Liquid Crystal Display or Cathode Ray Tube [03:19] ToddEDM, how are you speakin in here then? [03:19] AnthroTechie: problems with iPod; media controllers or other-->just wont launch there are 4 bugs with banshee in Hardy [03:19] jcooke: alright...so for hostname, could i just do like "desktop" or whatever? [03:19] the_darkside_986, I haven't tried cheesetracker, But I know soundtracker can edit. [03:19] anyone know if there is a program to mount samba shares via a web browser? (mount not just browse like smb2www) [03:19] cwilluL I disagree [03:19] ToddEDM, or you mean u don't have a browser or something like that? [03:20] cwillu: ubuntu 32bit will only see a max of 4 gb [03:20] ere4si, another one here http://ubuntu-utah.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=653557 [03:20] microwaver: i cant get online since i upgraded to hardy [03:20] sparr: Who said it was custom binaries? Wasn't this merely an issue with package names? Besides, I think the Mozilla foundation allows for custoom Firefoxes depending on circumstances... or... rather, customization modules, perhaps? I am not an expert on Mozilla's software. I'm just grateful it works well. [03:20] !webcams | No1CaNTeL [03:20] No1CaNTeL: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [03:20] matt___, hostname is usually the IP address, if you want everything on your network to access it(since the IPs may change, use 192.168.1.%, assuming that matches your network [03:20] ty [03:20] arvind_khadri: hope it works :) well done [03:20] microwaver: im on my laptop [03:20] jcooke: got it... [03:20] hello [03:20] ToddEDM, you want your wireless device working on your other system? [03:20] ere4si, :) thanks will try both [03:20] k [03:20] jcooke: so do i replace password with anything? [03:21] yes that is what i would like [03:21] LinuxNIT: you tried via nautilus (not a web browser but still) [03:21] matt___, whatever password you want, I wouldn't recommend just using 'password' [03:21] ToddEDM, can u attach an ethernet cable to your other device? [03:21] nope [03:21] ToddEDM, hmmm.... [03:21] bazhang, i want remote access... hence web-browser [03:21] jcooke: so what does that do? does that make a password for a user? i don't understand that part...does it edit a password or what? if i put it to 1234, do i have to type that to use it? [03:22] i can download whatever i need on the laptop and put it on USBstick [03:22] jcooke: with this method, is my username "matt" if that's what i put in the quotes before @ [03:22] matt___, yes [03:22] bazhang: so I should file a bug report? [03:22] jcooke: so is this creating a new user? [03:22] matt___, yes [03:22] ToddEDM, Yeah, figured that out. I'm thinking of finding a way what ngdisgtk uses o files so you can put it on usb $> other device [03:22] jcooke: got it, thanks...lettme try this. restart mysql afterwords? [03:23] ahh [03:23] matt___, you can run the command with something different in place of *.* also, the first * represents the database name, and the second the table [03:23] LinuxNIT: there should be a remote access gui-->not a webbrowser though afaik-->others here may know though [03:23] matt___, no, privileges should be flushed automatically with grant [03:23] ToddEDM, http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/net/ndisgtk perhaps this does the trick [03:23] this made my wirelss working [03:23] ToddEDM, this and ofcourse the driver itself [03:23] jcooke: gotcha...so i hit enter, but didn't get a response, did it work? [03:23] I Am off again folks. All the power and luck to you! [03:23] bazhang: so how are question usually answered? people just scan their logs and respond in a few hours? [03:23] matt___, assuming no errors, yes, it worked [03:24] jcooke: ok, lettme try [03:24] matt___, try running "mysql -umatt -p" [03:24] and use the password you created, that should log you in as that user [03:24] microwaver: thx [03:24] AnthroTechie: is it different from the ones already listed? you can confirm the ones already there ubuntu hardy banshee were the search terms I used [03:24] bazhang, i want via web browser so that it can be esily and quickly accessed from multiple pcs and or platforms [03:24] <3 mySQL [03:24] jcooke: um....alright... [03:24] matt___, don't use *.* or "GRANT ALL" for production type use, read up on GRANT further [03:24] matt___, so you can test that it worked :) [03:25] gramble you got a more recent version? can you you install via ssh (know how?) we answer as quick as we can--> sorry for the hold up but juggling 23 things atm [03:25] jcooke: it's odd...hmmm [03:25] jcooke, you have a nice handy phpmyadmin cfg file lying around? :) [03:25] microwaver, I refuse to use phpmyadmin ;x [03:26] microwaver, but if you do, please remember to set up auth for it! [03:26] so ok, heres another problem i have microwaver [03:26] bazhang: that's what I need to know: how to install from SSH (context: I have root on my Breezy, but that's all) [03:26] jcooke: its not working...but it does with root...so i don't know...right now i'm trying to login on the server using ssh...so the 192.168.1.% should have that covered... [03:26] jcooke, you do anything in terminal? [03:26] bazhang: okay, thanks [03:26] ToddEDM, yes, tell me [03:26] My Tracker applet has gone lost when I completely de-installed and re-installed Tracker. How can I reinstall the Tracker applet? [03:26] matt___, that won't create a system user, just a mysql user [03:27] microwaver, terminal? at the command line you mean? [03:27] jcooke: what do you mean? [03:27] ere4si, ok wil reboot now and report :) [03:27] jcooke, yes. what priveleges should a mysql user need? [03:27] jcooke: i'm trying with matt, not root... [03:27] when i leave the laptop for a while, the screen goes black, then when i return and try to move the mouse i get crazy horizontal black and white lines flashing.. then i need to ctrl-backspace to get it to work by logging in again [03:27] i can not burn dual layer dvd's with any software (brasero, k3b, gnome-baker) [03:27] matt___, on the box with mysql on it, run "mysql -umatt -p" and see if the password works [03:27] gramble okay let me check on that --> youwill need to upgrade that version to get support though [03:27] does anyone know of any bug that would cause my pointer to disappear for no reason at all under certain conditions, (busy pointer likes to do it alot) [03:27] matt___: mysql users are completely separate from the linux users. [03:27] i keep getting an input/output error [03:28] jcooke: like i said...alreadly tried it, and it doesn't work [03:28] ToddEDM, I think that's OR a screensaver error OR a splashscreen error [03:28] Is anyone familiar with "nm-tool"? It says I'm connected via eth0 when I'm using wireless wlan0. My ethernet is not even connected. Any idea of what's going on? [03:28] zionpsyfer: right right...i know...but i'm just saying that the user i created doesn't work... [03:28] matt___, not really able to troubleshoot it, you may want to read up on mysql GRANT [03:28] when the battery reaches its critical level, the screen goes blank instead of hibernation. And I have to restart X. How come? [03:28] Hi all, I have had Hardy running on my comp from the development area for a few months now, and since the 8.04LTS release came out, I still see a bunch of development options in my boot menu... how can I get it to show the latest LTS version instead of these ones? [03:28] can anyone assist with my usplash changing to text mode during boot after install a new OS to a seperate partition? [03:28] zionpsyfer: jcooke is there someway i could use the root user (mysql) to "view" the user matt? [03:28] microwaver, creating a user for phpmyadmin? [03:28] HI PPL anyone can give me a hand plz... after upgrading from 7.10 to 8.04 i have no text consoles anymore [03:28] Hey guys, I have two sound cards installed in my system and I need to disable one of them. I've done it before with your help but I can't remember much of what I did. Any suggestions of where to start? [03:28] jcooke, no, a uer for drupal, a cms [03:29] , everytime a faulty program locks my keyboard/mouse or if X goes down i have to reboot [03:29] omnistegan: probably blacklist it, knowing the correct things to blacklist of course [03:29] omnistegan: I think its in BIOS setup [03:29] I have problem after upgrading to hardy, it shows up as "GNOME Settings Daemon problem" and the error message says "Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken." [03:29] micro... ok that may be the prob, the screensaver was set to black screen... i turned it off we will see [03:29] I looked at various forums, posted to ubuntu forums, bugzilla, launchpad etc with no luck. [03:30] ToddEDM, does your computer show a ubuntu loading bar when starting up? [03:30] matt___, in mysql, you could do "SELECT User FROM mysql.user WHERE User = 'matt';" [03:30] hoho, nice [03:30] if there are no results, then the GRANT failed [03:30] gramble you want to get dapper for that? gutsy or hardy; those are the choices for supported systems [03:30] microwaver: yeah [03:30] microwaver, you mean what grant perms? [03:30] jcooke: wow...i'm sorta catching on to this stuff.... [03:30] up? [03:30] dapper = 7.10, correct? [03:30] 22:23 < jcooke> matt___, in mysql, you could do "SELECT User FROM mysql.user WHERE User = 'matt';" [03:30] bazhang: yeah that's what I'm trying to learn how to do: upgrade to 8.04 [03:30] thethe error is intermittent, (does not happen ~25% of the time, but in that case wireless does not work) error. After logging in, it shows a black screen, than a blank background and waits for ~1 minute. Then shows the following error. Afterwards, one of the three things happen: [03:30] 1) I get unusual icons but everything works, (2) I get unusual icons but after I click on few things, I get back the usual thing, everything works, (3) I get unusual icons, I can't click on any menus or icons. [03:30] jcooke, grant perms he needs [03:30] what were you asking [03:31] ToddEDM, I don't know of such a problem. what you could try is when you leave for a while : do ctrl + alt + l to lock, see if the GUI crashes then [03:31] does anyone have any idea how to get rosegarden to output sound in Ubuntu 8.04? I'm completely lost [03:31] juaco, try removing vga=XXX from the kernel line in /boot/grub/menu.lst [03:31] If I had a retailer custom construct my computer for me, where would i find from what hardware manufacturer to get drivers from? [03:31] jcooke, what does a cms need, to create a database, be sure it doesn't get too mutch auth [03:31] Jeb, 7.10 is Gutsy [03:31] jcooke: why thought wouldn't that command do anything? [03:31] oh... [03:31] I've got my sound bank imported, but when I try to play a short composition, no sound results. [03:31] thanks [03:31] I can't believe Linux finally runs all the things I want it to run and I'm going to have to go back to windows because my pointer won't stay on my screen [03:31] matt___, the original command I gave you, remove the word "PRIVILEGES" [03:32] and re-run it [03:32] Hello again, got another question for you eboyjr [03:32] thx DistroJockey i'm trying that now [03:32] micro, im gonna go install that .deb file i got from your link, when i come back i will see if the screen gets fuct [03:32] jcooke: umm...ok.. [03:32] Greencoat1982, Fire away :) [03:32] If I had a retailer custom construct my computer for me, where would i find from what hardware manufacturer to get drivers from? [03:32] Hi, I just upgraded my RAM to 4GB and Hardy only reports 3GB [03:32] how to fix? [03:32] juaco, k, good luck [03:32] I went into my VB soft and selected my shared folder, but it doesn't show up in my network places under my guest os [03:33] jcooke: so just remove it? [03:33] Gramble: first you need to read this; https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/OverSSH then decide which version you want [03:33] any ideas for this daemon error? I am totally puzzled and it slows down things, messes up wireless etc. I do not see any error messages? [03:33] dmakalsky, install the server kernel, (and linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-16-server by hand, it doesn't have a meta package for the -server kernels) [03:33] Why is my login screen 800x600 but once logged in my screen is 1024x768? How do I adjust login resolution? [03:33] microwaver, I would do GRANT SELECT,INSERT,UPDATE,CREATE on database.*... [03:33] cwillu, can I do it with apt-get? [03:33] <_adriaan> dmakalsky: do you have 32bit version? [03:33] dmakalsky, only the server kernel has -pae installed, which is required to use more than 4g [03:33] If I had a retailer custom construct my computer for me, where would i find from what hardware manufacturer to get drivers from? [03:33] jcooke, thanks. [03:33] the_darkside_986, Have you got rosegarden to work yet? [03:33] so what are the causes when everything except your mouse is locked up? [03:33] bazhang: ha! perfect. you just gave me my first quest. :-) [03:33] eboyjr -> am I missing a step somewhere? [03:34] Okay I may have found a solution but because no one here ever responds to having heard of the bug there's no reason to post it :P [03:34] dmakalsky, apt-get install linux-server linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-16-server [03:34] jcooke, hmm gotta get used to the cli :p cuz haven't set up a config for phpmyadmin [03:34] just upgraded from Gutsy to Hardy and now all of my gksudo apps will not start up ie Hardware Drivers, Synaptic - none of them are giving me a password prompt when I try to start them and they are failing to even open in the GDM [03:34] I've gotten rosegarden to work without giving errors, but I'm not sure how to make sound produced from it. [03:34] I have two issues: one can I stop firefox from getting focus when I click a hyperlink in evolution? two: when can I put a script (or link to a script) to be run when I login to gdm? [03:34] microwaver, I may be missing one, it could need DELETE, but I hate having to give delete to an application [03:34] <_adriaan> Fritzel: Why the drama? [03:34] dmakalsky, you'll have to install the newer restricted modules each time the kernel is updated (unless they fix the meta-package thing) [03:34] Gramble: if you have more questions after reading then come back and ask :) [03:34] the_darkside_986, What is rosegarden??? [03:35] bazhang: nice. ttys. [03:35] cwillu, ok, thanks a lot [03:35] matt___, yes [03:35] If I had a retailer custom construct my computer for me, where would i find from what hardware manufacturer to get drivers from? [03:35] Greencoat1982, In Windows XP go to Start > Run > then type in 'cmd'... [03:35] jcooke, hmmm good remark. I may understand UPDATE = ALTER ? [03:35] _adriaan, because I've tried getting help with this bug at least 10 times over the past month and a half, and not once has anyone even acknowledged that I asked a question, I'm not demanding support, but acknowledgement would be ncie [03:35] Rosegarden is the music tool in the Ubuntu repositories (under Add/Remove) [03:35] RequinB4, you want to know what hardware is in ur machine? [03:35] I don't know of any other decent music maker for Ubuntu [03:35] eboyjr -> done [03:35] microwaver, no, ALTER lets the user change the database schema(including dropping columns), don't give it ALTER [03:35] cwillu, is there a conceptual reason why non servers are restricted to 3GB of RAM? === GreenGlenn is now known as greenglenn [03:35] update != alter [03:35] hi, what does it mean when almost every program I try to run exits with "Segmentation Fault" [03:36] comming back to irc [03:36] microwaver - the brand [03:36] update = update a row [03:36] jcooke, give it delete but not alter :) [03:36] Greencoat1982, "net use x: \\vboxsvr\sharename" is what you type in and replace x: with the drive letter that you want to use, and sharename with the name of the share [03:36] My Tracker applet has gone lost when I completely de-installed and re-installed Tracker. How can I reinstall the Tracker applet? [03:36] How can I clean up my boot menu? It displays tons of beta versions of Hardy right now [03:36] dmakalsky, 32bit processors can only address 4gb (and that's still a limitation with the 32-bit server kernel*_ [03:36] RequinB4, in terminal try : lspci / lsusb, lshw [03:36] microwaver, maybe delete, that'll let it delete rows, if there were some sort of SQL exploit for the app though, it could let people delete data [03:36] can i use vim for journalism writing or is a little bit nerd? [03:36] _adriaan, and if it was a bug I could work with it'd be one thing but when your pointer goes invisible it's pretty hard to work around that one [03:36] cwillu, so then whats the deal with the 3GB limit? [03:36] bobbo85, /boot/grub/menu.lst [03:36] the_darkside_986, Im installing now (curious) rosegarden. [03:36] sefr0m, no, it would not be too nerdy. why not. [03:37] jcooke: still nothing..would there be a problem if that user already exists OR the password is the same as root? [03:37] thanks demonspork [03:37] jcooke, gotta read through the notes of DRUPAL if it uses it safe. and itself is safe [03:37] eboyjr > ok so if I shared /home/xusr/programs I type \\vboxsrvr\home\xusr\programs ? [03:37] dmakalsky, the -server kernel has pae enabled, which lets the kernel address more memory, but any given process is still limited to 4gb of address space (which isn't exactly the same thing as memory, but it's close) [03:37] microwaver: no, those give me the make and model not the company [03:37] dmakalsky, pae however does have a slight performance overhead, so you (or rather, I) don't want it unless you actually have more memory [03:37] microwaver, I'm reading some people grant DROP, and ALTER, which isn't smart since it'll allow the user to drop tables completelt [03:37] Greencoat1982, No, the name of the share that gets assigned that folder [03:37] RequinB4, normally there would be : ATI or NVIDIA in the names. [03:37] how can i tell debuild not to clean all makefiles, etc. before compiling [03:38] maybe add "CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES" to that list of perms [03:38] debuild is improperly deleting some of the makefiles [03:38] matt___, no [03:38] and then it fails to build [03:38] eboyjr Ok, I'm not sure what you mean by share [03:38] matt___, what did it output when you ran that query [03:38] cwillu, I hope the extra gig of RAM is worth the hit :) [03:38] jcooke: so what is the command thing again to view the user = matt table? [03:38] Can I get my OS to change from Ubuntu hardy (development branch), kernel 2.6.24-16-generic to the latest LTS? [03:38] _adriaan, I do owe you at least some thanks for your questioning my drama though, and I appologize for it, but that's the most acknowledgement I've gotten that I even had a problem since I started asking the question. again I apologize, and thank you for responding [03:38] jcooke: SHOW FROM mysql.user WHERE USER = matt [03:38] Greencoat1982, you'd be using he sharename which would probably have defaulted to \\vboxsvr\programs if you hadn't changed it when you set it up [03:38] dmakalsky, probably; avoiding swap is almost always a win [03:38] Greencoat1982, When you click on the shared folders in the bottom right, what do you see that comes up? [03:39] what is Multicast DNS service discovery for? can I safely disable it? [03:39] if I have upgraded to Hardy and I appear to be having issues is there a way I can repair the installation with a CD The live version I have does not have the option so I am wondering if it will kill my current setup if I install over the upgraded version of Hardy? [03:39] ah [03:39] matt___, try this: "GRANT ALL ON *.* TO 'matt'@'192.168.1.%' IDENTIFIED BY 'password'" replace password with your own. [03:39] so it would be just the last folder name in the directory that I want to share [03:39] microwaver - i know its broadcom, i mean where to get drivers [03:39] IntangibleLiquid, google is a better bet for that sort of thing; it's a standard feature however [03:40] isnt xrandr anymore in 8.04 [03:40] RequinB4, you want to get your wireless card working [03:40] cwillu: thanks. I'm googling [03:40] now wait...does the GRANT come after a "? [03:40] bazhang, xrandr ??? [03:40] My Tracker applet has gone lost when I completely de-installed and re-installed Tracker. How can I reinstall the Tracker applet? [03:40] matt___, don't paste the double quotes, everything inside them [03:40] alright....like i was... [03:40] eboyjr ok I tried net use Z: \\vboxsrvr\Programs and it gave me error 53 [03:40] arvind_khadri, I've got xrandr, dunno [03:41] RequinB4, which model broadcom and 32bit or 65bit? [03:41] microwaver - i can do it i just need the right drivers [03:41] 32 [03:41] on another note... how do I get rid of that annoying indexer thing in gnome that's thrashing my system? [03:41] cwillu, its all wierd [03:41] 4306 rev 03 [03:41] Is there a way to keep focus inside Evolution when clicking a hyperlink? [03:41] ok, I guess I am not asking the right question. [03:41] jcooke: how should i exit mysql? i've been control+z [03:41] RequinB4, 32? [03:41] Greencoat1982, Try taking out the space after Z: [03:41] jcooke, hehe 65bit... when 64bit isn't enough [03:41] jcooke: isn't exit supposed to work? [03:41] RequinB4, if you do lshw you get network sections, they should give info on the right wireless pci card [03:41] mjbrooks: i'm up to 66 :) [03:41] mjbrooks, I think my notebook may be a bad copy ;( [03:42] Hi, just installed ubuntu 8 and i've clicked on the clock and now the toolbars are frozen? [03:42] matt___, "exit;" [03:42] eboyjr Ok that gives me error 67 [03:42] jcooke: ohhh....... [03:42] matt___, all queries end with a ; [03:42] arvind_khadri: you have a question about that? [03:42] RequinB4, you're using ndiswrapper I assume? [03:42] Greencoat1982, What exactly does it say? [03:43] jcooke yes [03:43] bazhang, yeah isnt xrandr anymore in 8.04 and what is the installation candidate for that?? [03:43] matt___-> and jcooke can you both take those topic to #mysql channel? [03:43] jcooke: gtocha... [03:43] hello guyss [03:43] Hi, just installed ubuntu 8 and i've clicked on the clock and now the toolbars are frozen? [03:43] amenado: umm...lol...

[03:43] hey all - i could use some help with hardy heron server...all from the command line [03:43] eboyjr : system error 67 has occurred [03:43] network name cannot be found [03:43] RequinB4, ndiswrapper -l will list your drivers [03:43] arvind_khadri: what are you trying to do? could you clarify? [03:43] arvind_khadri, do you have x11-xserver-utils installed? [03:43] RequinB4, did you see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=201902 already? === slimx3m is now known as blacknred0 [03:44] matt___, just message me, not up for joining other channels [03:44] I think the guest maynot be reading the hos shared folder [03:44] Is there an easy to follow step by step tutorial out there that shows how to setup a dual booting thin client for running a remote X session? [03:44] RequinB4, https://help.ubuntu.com/7.10/internet/C/ndiswrapper.html worked like a charm for me [03:44] arvind_khadri, (or ubuntu-desktop even?) [03:44] Anyone know how to remove "known" wireless essids from the network manager so it doesn't auto-connect to them? [03:44] bazhang, when i try to change the screen resolution a pop up says it cant find xrandr [03:44] cwillu, yeah i have [03:44] arvind_khadri, any standard install with x should have it [03:44] jcooke - that's what i'm trying to get to work, some say that if it doesn't work i need diff drivers. mjbrooks, yes, i know. microwaver, i can get ndiswrapper to work the question is getting the drivers that work [03:44] arvind_khadri, how are you checking that you don't have xrandr? [03:44] tha_toadman-> hey..please clarify the problem [03:44] juaco, Any luck? [03:44] cwillu, sudo apt-cache policy xrandr [03:44] arvind_khadri, it's not in its own package [03:44] RequinB4, gotta know what wireless card u have :) [03:45] arvind_khadri, try typing it in :p [03:45] RequinB4, what happened with the other drivers? [03:45] jcooke-> modify your /etc/network/interfaces if they appear there [03:45] Greencoat1982, Do you have Guest Additions enabled? [03:45] arvind_khadri: via sudo displayconfig-gtk? [03:45] eboyjr where do I enable that? [03:45] amenado: thank you! when i go to boot my server..it hangs on "NET: Resolving protocol family 17" for about 60 seconds [03:45] bazhang, from the gui not cli [03:45] amenado, nope, not there [03:45] arvind_khadri, if you have x installed, you have xrandr, it's in /usr/bin/ [03:45] bazhang, let me try the cli one [03:45] jcooke: oh, alright [03:45] the_darkside_986, Have you tried Schism Tracker or Chibi Tracker [03:45] jcooke-> no essid appears there? [03:45] jcooke - failed completely, ndiswrapper -l shows fine so i have to assume its the driver. microwaver Broadcom BCM4306 rev 03 [03:45] jcooke: could this be it?

Please note the BIOS says 4GB (I am not insane) [03:46] Hey, anyone think they can help me with installing ubuntu on a diff comp? [03:46] mjbrooks, where's this trusted list you speak of [03:46] tha_toadman-> does your server have a static ip address? [03:46] ok, I have another question. I seem to be having issues with not being root. I'm trying to install the google browser sync extension for firefox2, but since firefox2 is installed in a root area, I don't think it's letting me add the extension. how to I allow the extension to install itself in a root area? [03:46] Greencoat1982, Its a program that gets installed on the Guerst OS.. You can do this by going to the first item on the menu bar of the Guest OS window ( I cant remember the name ) and choose Guest Additions [03:46] bazhang, from the cli it works but not from the GUi :) [03:46] RequinB4, download the windows driver and use https://help.ubuntu.com/7.10/internet/C/ndiswrapper.html that worked for me, i thnk i hae a similar card [03:46] ok eboyjr I am again an idiot overlooking a step in my haste [03:46] dmakalsky, where are you checking?

[03:47] jcooke, probably similar in gnome [03:47] I get could not connect to video device [03:48] cwillu, free -m still shows 3033 [03:48] mjbrooks, I wish it was ;( [03:48] cwillu, the one which came with in xserver [03:48] amenado: gave it -- oops [03:48] juaco, cool. Not sure on that. But it is a known problem, so there should be a fix/workaround. Best of luck. [03:48] tha_toadman-> that still does not explain how is the static ip address is assigned [03:48] arvind_khadri, ...

[03:49] jcooke, poke around with the options/configure menu items, it should be in there somewhere [03:49] cwillu, the restricted drivers [03:49] RequinB4, does the interface show up at least? [03:49] Hey, anyone in here think they can help me with installing Ubuntu on a different comp?

[03:50] RequinB4 hmm [03:50] bazhang: hey. will the OverSSH process work on a VIRTUAL dedicated server? it's not actually my own box. I'm a VM on a tummy.com machine. fdisk for example... will that even work?! [03:50] so...i need help. i hope i'm in the right place.

[03:52] i just got heron. it's amazing, hooray. but it's slowing my computer down too much even though i have 10 GB of free space. does anyone know why? [03:53] I've got a strange issue with 8.04 on a Mac; whenever I press a key on the keyboard, the mouse stops working for about half a second. Does anyone know how to fix this? [03:53] shreeki, define "slowing down" [03:53] Ratshell, have you tried nautilus? [03:53] HI [03:53] can i get some help with installing gtk2 themes?

[03:53] im using 7.10 [03:53] ToddEDM, https://help.ubuntu.com/7.10/internet/C/ndiswrapper.html [03:53] guest, yeah I didn't like doing it that wait kind of wanted a program to do it besides nautilus [03:53] hello..i received some strange apic issues with 8.04 and it only occurs when plugging in a powercord into my laptop. I heard of an apic=force parameter that i might be able to set...where do i set it and does someone have an example ?? [03:53] how install arpwatcher??? [03:53] how install arpwatcher??? [03:53] how install arpwatcher??? [03:53] andres: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:53] hyyy [03:54] microwaver: i disabled screensaver and it still went crazy [03:54] insomnia I suggest u upgrade to 8.04 [03:54] ToddEDM, hmmm. wouldn't know what ekse to do [03:54] fde: you still about? [03:54] np [03:54] Ratshell, i cant really say i've used anything else other than that and gftp, but gftp isnt really what you're looking for [03:54] Shadow420, I disagree [03:54] ha! found it, just have to delete the folder with the ssid name in ~/.gconf/system/networking/wireless/networks [03:54] why exactly? and if i do... will i lose any saved work, docs, progs? [03:54] slowing as in: when i close windows, it 'fades' away slowly. switching to another workplace goes slowly. opening a window doesn't happen..quickly. even typing words is slow. [03:54] anyone here use irssi?whoa [03:54] there's probably some gui way to do it, but whatever works [03:55] andres: please be patient and don't repeat [03:55] Gramble: I would suggest getting a clear picture of what you want to do (after reading those docs) post something on the forums (ubuntuforums.org) and ask some informed questions here--virtual server and cfdisk over ssh? that sounds very complex and I really havent a clue about it-->though others here may [03:55] guest, how you mean to do it in Nautilus, cause if your talking the connect to server thing I tried that then opened a file with gedit and it says can't save cause file is read-only. [03:55] andres: if someone can help you they can.. if not try the forums or the wiki :) [03:55] ulugeyik thaks, i will try on it [03:55] ya know, i don't really have any questions about Ubuntu, everything works pretty well [03:55] bazhang: sounds good. thx. [03:55] Ratshell, are you sure you're allowed to write to the ftp server? [03:55] good to hear fazed [03:55] mjbrooks, thanks though, adding "trusted" to my google found the answer :D [03:55] shadow420: why exactly? and if i do... will i lose any saved work, docs, progs? [03:56] guest, yeah I can connect to the ftp np upload download its just when I got through nautilus it says the file is readonly with gedit [03:56] So I've got a huge collection of music downloaded from Itunes, and I'm switching over to Linux. I'm looking for ways to remove the DRM protection, or atleast circumvent it. Does anyone know how I can either remove it, take it off an ipod as an MP3, or install itunes in hardy? [03:56] how do i install a file. "jre-6u5-linux-i586.bin" [03:56] one day i will learn to download and install software... but it is not something i am really worried about with the package manager [03:56] jcooke, least I got you close ;) [03:56] insomnia I everything u have wil still be there excpet for some progs that are old and outdated [03:57] shreeki, sounds like you're having memory issues [03:57] shreeki, hwo much meory do you have installed? [03:57] alright but how will that help me with themes? more support for gtk2? [03:57] Ratshell, i'm not sure how to solve that then, sorry. is it possible to ssh to the ftp server? or is it out of your hands? [03:57] Adrian, the 'legal' way to do it would be to burn to a cd and then rip in to mp3... [03:57] AdrianStrays: Burn it all to CDs and import. Or try to find a hack. Oh, and remember that DRM is evil and that you wow to never buy that **** again. [03:57] bazhang: well, let's just skip the upgrade and talk about how to create a new "user" on bash/unix. could you point me to some reading on that? [03:57] do any one know if I can have Unbutu on a virtual box with Solaris and XP? [03:57] server irc.swipnet.se [03:58] adrian, say it with me: www.amazon.com [03:58] guest, tried that can't ssh to it [03:58] ratshell? [03:58] Hello, anyone with a ton of knowledge want to help with an amazingly hardcore problem? [03:58] are you speaking to me? [03:58] amenado: it's still hanging... :( [03:58] memory = 3.0GiB according to System Moniter (sorry, i'm just a noob) [03:58] fazed, I would literally spend days converting this burning/ripping this library. I put it on a DVD, but it became a data dvd, so that was useless. No hacks seem to exist [03:58] !ask > madmoomix [03:58] shreeki, 32bit? [03:58] there were hacks [03:58] aoglobalent, umm nope talking to guest, but I can try to help you what you need? [03:59] but i think they may have updated the encryption [03:59] AdrianStrays: Then take it as an object lesson on why DRM stinks. [03:59] is there a way to get a list of files that were installed for a package? [03:59] fazed, there were, past tense. Now there aren't. [03:59] Lynet, thank you for that incrediblely helpful comment. [03:59] grub error 22 -- ive tried manuall grub entry and super grub disk, nothing ive done fixes it ,.,. any thoughts? [03:59] http://howtoforge.com/perfect_server_ubuntu7.10 Gramble this is for gutsy ; hardy likely will not be too dissimilar [03:59] my question is, I have just downloaded virtual box and am in the proccess of installing Solaris === amenado_afk is now known as amenado [03:59] can I then install Unbutu [03:59] can someone help me find Phex for Ubuntu? I can't find it in the packages. [03:59] sorry, what does 32bit mean?

[03:59] type of os and proccessor [03:59] AdrianStrays: Well, live and learn. What do you expect us to say? [04:00] aoglobalent, yes you can install as many virtual os's you want just create a new virtual machine for each [04:00] Shadow420: installed ubuntu [04:00] aoglobalent: dual boot solaris and ubuntu? sure [04:00] o.k. [04:00] i am fairly new to the open source community but i think you are going to the wrong place for help with propritary software [04:00] amenado: lol - roughly 120 seconds [04:00] hey bazhang [04:00] shreeki, whidth of your 'bitstream' [04:00] can you dual boot operating systems in a virtual OS [04:00] lol [04:00] hi Bodsda!

[04:00] there's a [fail] under eth0 .. let me see what it says [04:00] bazhang: thx. [04:00] Lynet, I expect you to give me suggestions based on my predicament, not snotty comments because my dad insisted on itunes. [04:01] !torrents | aoglobalent [04:01] amenado: linksys [04:01] aoglobalent: Hardy can be torrented from http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ubuntu-8.04-desktop-i386.iso.torrent or http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ubuntu-8.04-server-amd64.iso.torrent depending on your architecture. Torrents for other Ubuntu flavours can be found at: http://releases.ubuntu.com/ (CD) or http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases (DVD). [04:01] where can i find the width of my 'bitstream'?

[04:01] AdrianStrays: Lynet please calm down [04:01] how do i install a program??? [04:01] so.. anyone wanna try to help me fix my resolution problem. After the lastest 7.10 update the restricted nvidia drivers stopped working. I had a few people help me out with it.. but its not working [04:01] tha_toadman-> and the bootup log or syslog or any other log says anything? [04:01] what version of linux did u install shreeki [04:01] bigtimer121: synaptic manager [04:01] erm what version of ubuntu* [04:01] root_____, have you tried google?

I updated the system, and restarted. GRUB, after loading the kernal, would restart the computer (playing with it, it seems to be an Ubuntu problem). Tried re-installing. The kernal on the live-cd no longer boots (not a bad disc, checked multiple discs multiple times). The alt-install disc booted, installed. That installation never even started, LILO threw some er [04:02] ror or another. Put in original live CD. Boots, installs, won't load at all. Same problem. Alt-Install CD now locks up too. [04:02] going to get Unix as well [04:02] AdrianStrays: Barring any hack, the way to do it is to burn to regular audio cds and reimport in linux. If you are unhappy with the situation get angry at Apple or the music industry, not at us. [04:02] i installed the latest one: hardy heron yesterday. [04:02] Bodsda: you know waht error 22 is right? [04:02] guest: i had fde and ramkuman working on it.. but not working :(. [04:02] bazhang: cannot find partition?

[04:03] Lynet, i'm not angry at Apple, I'm angry at rude Linux users who play the victim [04:03] mjbrooks, i need the ubuntu *.deb package, not src [04:03] hey absolutley anybody: I'm in root. How do I make a new user? [04:03] tha_toadman-> all logs typically are in /var/log [04:03] Gramble: your not in root.. [04:03] How much is the LCD 19" ? [04:03] Gramble: adduser username [04:03] ah he left [04:03] Gramble: you are the user. who sudo's as root [04:03] amenado: i was headed for /var/log/messages but i'll look there...brb [04:04] Gramble-> you have done some tutorial in how to use linux? if not, may I suggest a tutorial?

[04:04] fazed: tons [04:04] sweet [04:04] Rat I know this question is Stupid, but what is the "REAL" differnece between Unix and Lunix? [04:04] luderacer, i have vista and gutsy (dual). then i updated to hardy. once i did that, everything became slower. i don't know what is going on and i'm wondering what i can do to fix it. any help would be appreciated. [04:04] Bodsda: you want me to google for you :) [04:04] amenado: that's where I need to start [04:04] well, i usually just google my questions [04:04] Gramble: #ubuntuforums-beginners are happy to help new users get started [04:05] aoglobalent, unix == car, linux == toyota [04:05] aoglobalent: linux is an entention of unix [04:05] bazhang: can do but ive tried manual entry [04:05] can someone help me find Phex for Ubuntu? I can't find it in any packages. [04:05] hi i was trying to set up samba to work with vmplayer and i think i messed up my network now when i try to do sudo it says sudo: unable to resolve host ahren-laptop [04:05] which would be conisdered "Better" [04:05] shreeki, did you upgrade or do a clean install? [04:05] ? [04:05] root_____, it comes as a java JAR for linux... no debs http://www.phex.org/mambo/content/view/17/29/ [04:05] linux =/= unix, guys [04:05] root_____: have u searched on packages.ubuntu.com ?? [04:05] Bodsda: nice. that's my next step i reckon. [04:05] aoglobalent: Unix is a family of operating systems. GNU/Linux is a unix-like operating system that was made from scratch [04:05] Unix or Lunix? [04:05] aoglobalent: this is not really a chat channel; please /join #ubuntu-offtopic thanks [04:05] for example, i was about to google "does wireshark capture packets with WEP information" [04:05] adub: missing usb.h is the first error - check the package to see what you need to compile it - libusb-dev or something like that? [04:05] luderacer, upgrade [04:05] Gramble-> http://free-electrons.com/doc/unix_linux_introduction.pdf is a good one [04:05] because its not there root_____ have you tried wine with it [04:05] Bodsda, i'll try that now [04:05] aoglobalent: and there's more than one Unix [04:05] LadyNikon, your card isnt even listed in the compatibility list https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsVideoCardsNvidia have you had any linux distro working on it before? [04:05] shreeki, ive found its better to do a clean install rather then upgrade [04:05] Gramble: were always happy to help in there also in ##beginners-help [04:06] guest: as i said.. it was working fine before I updated [04:06] what does a clean install mean? [04:06] LadyNikon, sorry, i didnt catch that :) [04:06] amenado: "boot" has 'nothing logged yet' [04:06] totally reinstall the os and not upgrade [04:06] shreeki: erasing everything before install [04:06] guest: its ok .. thats why i repeated [04:06] shreeki: install after a format of the hard drive [04:06] guest: text moves fast -.- [04:06] amenado: syslog has messages but i'm not seeing any errors [04:06] an alternative to a samba for vmware would be to install ext2/ext3 support for windows to get to the linux files on windows. [04:06] shreeki, it means installing on a clean partition, rather than upgradign from a previous installation [04:06] heh ... this rocks. that's what i needed. (off to rumage about) [04:07] thx much [04:07] wouldn't clean install mean having everything (ie. documents/pictures/music) deleted? [04:07] yes' [04:07] shreeki: you can usually back those things up [04:07] tha_toadman-> and the /var/log/messages ? anything? [04:07] shreeki: no, u can dual boot on a single hard drive without loss of data [04:07] shreeki, you need to back those up first [04:07] bazhang: any thougts on what i can do? [04:07] a lot of people keep their /home on a separate partition [04:07] Bodsda, no "phex" package on package.ubuntu.com, the program has around 1 million downloads, you think it would be popular enough to have a *.deb made for Ubuntu [04:07] any help [04:08] Bodsda: grub is messed up? you tried reinstalling it? [04:08] eaglestar83, you get my message above? [04:08] root_____, it's a JAR, no need for apackage [04:08] root_____: it may have one just not in the repo's -- check their home site for a debian download [04:08] is there an apt-get or apt-cache command to get a list of files that were installed for a package? [04:08] melter: dpkg -L packagename [04:08] bazhang: countless times -- but on my own, only tutos to help [04:08] mjbrooks: shoot, forgot about that, thanks [04:08] * mjbrooks loads his shotgun [04:09] yeah root i saw that how do i fix trying to go to sudo [04:09] Starnestommy, thanks! [04:09] sorry to repeat this, but... [04:09] As simple as possible: Ubuntu installed just fine, booted just fine. I updated the system, and restarted. GRUB, after loading the kernal, would restart the computer (playing with it, it seems to be an Ubuntu problem). Tried re-installing. The kernal on the live-cd no longer boots (not a bad disc, checked multiple discs multiple times). The alt-install disc booted, installed. That installation never even started, LILO threw some er [04:09] ror or another. Put in original live CD. Boots, installs, won't load at all. Same problem. Alt-Install CD now locks up too. [04:09] i'm not quite sure how to go about storing all documents etc. on to a partition that will not be involved in a clean upgrade. what is the best way to know make sure everything is safe? [04:09] root_____ also enable the backport and multiverse repos [04:09] sudo: unable to resolve host ahren-laptop [04:09] melter: those would be dependencies but im not sure other then reading the message while downloading the package [04:09] shreeki: usb key [04:09] Eaglestar83: the name of the program you need is ext2ifs_1_11.exe [04:09] amenado: i have the log but i don't see any errors :( [04:09] how do i install ext2/3 file sharing for windows root [04:09] shreeki: make a new partition with gparted or back it up and move to a seperate hard drive [04:09] bazhang, ahaha of course [04:09] Eaglestar83: that will let you view ext2/3 linux partitions on your windows through vmware or dualboot [04:09] i have windows net setup from vista partition [04:10] amenado: pm? i'll send the log if you don't mind [04:10] does lm-sensors work with intel pm965 notebook chipset [04:10] eaglestar83: you want to access your Linux partitions in Windows? [04:10] madmoomix, did you burn the disk in auto mode or DAO? [04:10] tha_toadman-> maybe its not really an error, you are just impatient? [04:10] no [04:10] i don't use windows [04:10] shreeki: Or use a USB drive. I do [04:10] eaglestar83: that program creates a new drive in windows, like g:, and you can share that through windows sharing like any other folder [04:10] only there in case my newbie head screws up something in ubuntu [04:10] sudo: unable to resolve host ahren-laptop [04:10] tha_toadman-> no pm for me..can receive them [04:10] eaglestar83: oh, ok, i thought you wanted samba working on vmware (meaning windows) [04:10] this is what it says in term when i press sudo [04:10] mjbrooks, tried both, and had someone else burn me a third. All check 100% (the other person's checked on their machine, just in case). [04:10] i have vmware of suse with open project [04:10] eaglestar83, rename your machine recently? [04:11] amenado, i disagree...it's a core 2 duo and i just formatted it from 7.04 to 8.04 - my 7.04 was up in like 30 seconds [04:11] eaglestar83: try finding the local ip of that computer, like 192.168.1.3 [04:11] i think i renamed domain on accident [04:11] eaglestar83: are you part of the sudoers list? [04:11] THANKS EVERYONE! [04:11] np [04:11] how do i fix it [04:11] np [04:11] bodsda [04:11] eaglestar83: go into recovery mode, then add "127.0.1.1 ahren-laptop" to /etc/hosts where it says 127.0.1.1 [04:11] eaglestar83: no idea -- sounds like its your machine name has been changed [04:11] amenado: whats with a numbers next to the boot sequence?? [04:11] eaglestar83, /etc/hosts needs to have a match for the current hostname for sudo to work [04:11] eaglestar83, you will need to fix /etc/hosts (probably via a live cd) [04:12] eaglestar83: listen to Starnestommy [04:12] HI! What's the difference between Ubuntu and Suse Linux? Why does the Suse install DVD contain over 4GB? And why choose one over the other? [04:12] so guys, wireshark doesn't handle decryption does it? [04:12] tha_toadman-> well you can start digging to the rc.d or init.d for the network startup and monitor those to see if its hanging anywhere [04:12] eaglestar83, if sudo doesn't work right now, reboot into the recovery kernel [04:12] fazed: no [04:12] eaglestar83, it'll dump you at a root prompt where you can fix it [04:12] imac: most Linux distros are rather similar [04:12] bazhang: your my last hope dude, what shall i do? [04:12] tha_toadman-> what number? pid? [04:13] amenado: like [ 26.643986 ] [04:13] so i go to pico /etc/hosts [04:13] imac: the install DVD for Suse contains 4GB's of stuff since it will put on a lot of packages/programs I suppouse [04:13] imac, lots of stuff, and yet not a lot of stuff; ask suse, we don't know anything about their dvd here; preferences [04:13] amenado: seems like a timer to me...? [04:13] eaglestar83: yes [04:13] http://sudan.ubuntuforums.com/showthread.php?t=700082 Bodsda check this [04:13] sebsebseb: so why is ubuntu more popular? [04:13] tha_toadman-> i dont know [04:13] so i go to pico etc/hosts [04:13] imac: it mas a better community and is more user-friendly [04:13] sebsebseb: driver support [04:13] *has [04:13] imac: I guess, because Ubuntu is based on Debian one of the first Linux distros that ever existed [04:13] ok [04:13] does lm-sensors work with intel pm965 notebook chipset [04:13] sorry [04:14] Starnestommy: suse or ubuntu? [04:14] amenado: my ACPI is at that last number then my networking starts at [ 204.600664] [04:14] imac: ubuntu [04:14] Ah [04:14] ok so how do i setup networking with vmwareplayer so i can share files between ubuntu and suse vm [04:14] In firefox, wherever there is a flash applet (or whatever), i see these large "play" symbols (sideways triangle inside a circle). I have to click them to see the applet/video. Is their a way to get around this? [04:14] ubuntu sux [04:14] amenado: sorry but something has changed since 7 that's stalling my startup and it's bugging the hell out of me [04:14] Mattevt, you have flashblock installed [04:14] artint offtopic here thanks [04:14] Mattevt: remove the flashblock plugin [04:14] Mattevt, this is actually a good thing :p [04:14] Mattevt: do you have NoScript installed as a plugin, sometimes that does it? [04:14] amenado: how do i check rc.d or init.d ? [04:14] Mattevt: although thats great, remember all those annoying flash adds? [04:15] Imac: plus OpenSuse is the community distro of Novell's Suse Enterprise Linux, and well Novell is not liked that much anymore by a lot of people in the Linux community, because of a deal they made with Microsoft [04:15] artint /msg ubottu etiquette [04:15] tha_toadman-> off hand I can not tell you, i have not seen it yet nor a mention of that so far in forums [04:15] bazhang: cheers dude, il try that thanks [04:15] stupid wobbly windows [04:15] zeno: indeed...I guess it's a good thing. Thanks for the fast responses guys! [04:15] Imac: Ubuntu is also known for very good driver/hardware suppourt [04:15] tha_toadman-> /etc/init.d [04:15] microsoft stinks, but that's not a reason not to use suse if they won't benifit from it [04:15] amenado: then i may post this one in the forums *think i'm still registered there* and will post this to see what's up [04:15] artint: you can turn those off, or try another desktop enviornment like kde [04:16] !ot | artint [04:16] Ubuntu 8.04 fails on my laptop [04:16] artint: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [04:16] Help [04:16] Someone on the suse irc said suse had better driver support [04:16] artint: take your rant to #ubuntu-offtopic please [04:16] artint I have never had no mproblems with ubuntu just windows and my computer it self [04:16] how do i make it so firestarter starts when i login? [04:16] tha_toadman-> okay, good luck [04:16] Imac: so have you got Ubuntu installed now? [04:16] EcoBlue-GAYSEX: please change your nick [04:16] amenado: thanks for your help!!! ;) [04:16] VMware, yes [04:16] hummmmmm VMware [04:16] EcoBlue: what is the specific error message you get, probably you should try a 64-bit of ubuntu if it doesn't even boot [04:16] so your on an XP host? [04:16] imac [04:16] Anyone know why installing Ubuntu is changing how live-cds work? This should not be happening. [04:16] XP computer is weak lol [04:16] tha_toadman-> i was not much help to you really, hopefully next time [04:16] i was jokin [04:17] imac: oh yeah imac so Mac OS X host? [04:17] ok i guess its one question a day here [04:17] thanks [04:17] yeah [04:17] I am a XP/Ubuntu user [04:17] madmaxmad, ubuntu didn't even have a live-cd originally, it's not like it's something set in stone [04:17] amenado: well you were the first to offer -- people like you make ubuntu what it is today -- cheers! [04:17] I was thinking about duel booting the xp with linux, so i'm trying ubuntu first [04:17] imac: well you can download already made Linux distros from the VMware site, for open souse and Ubuntu and so on. even other oprating systems. and then you can try them out, and find out which one you like the most [04:17] of course the performance in vmware is less than impressive [04:17] i guess [04:17] and virtualbox is much cooler :) [04:17] true [04:17] tha_toadman-> thank you for the kind words... [04:17] anyone have 8.04 and play Gweled? [04:17] i can't use compiz so that sucks [04:18] How do I change my login screen resolution?

[04:18] hey, i have a dell 4600 and i have a nvidia video card, with s-video out. whenever i try to use screens and graphics to change the screens, either it becomes a terrible resolution, or the screen size is too large on my lcd monitor, any ideas? [04:18] rich_freecomm: I couldn't get Gweled to work on 8.04 [04:18] but I tried ubuntu on windows with wubi and it didn't get driver support for my vid card and no internet either [04:18] hydrogen: plus when I got it for WIndows recentlly it seemed I would have to build the open source one myself. so I went for the cloused one [04:19] root_____: I got it working...but it's in French [04:19] amenado: i'm off to bed -- you'll have to look for my post in the forum - later! [04:19] root_____: which is ok....since I was so used to playing it..I knew what to hit [04:20] rich_freecomm: I found a bug in that program, but there was no place on their website to submit it i think, or if there was i submitted it [04:20] connect [04:20] OK, now I have a silly question: The text in firefox is really small...then when I enlarge the font, the orientation skews, words overlap etc. am I missing something obvious [04:20] bazhang: that link said to add root (hd0,0) to the boot line,,.,. but i dont get the grub list so il edit in live cd but dont think it will work [04:20] Mattevt change your dpi in resolution settings [04:20] Bodsda: reinstalling grub might help as well [04:20] bazhang: how do i do that?

[04:26] chris_420, I had a friend with a similar problem, here's what fixed it [04:26] Starnestommy, I did, I was just hoping that after upgrading to 8.04 LTS that the Beta stuff would go away [04:27] is there a setting somewhere I can change in kde to use a dblclick to run a file/folder/whatever and not a single click? [04:28] In "Monitor Resolution Settings", the "Clones Screens" box is checked. I un-check it, then click "Apply", but somehow it always re-checks it self. [04:28] how di i install a vmware player on my ubuntu 7.10? [04:28] HappyHater: i'm sure there is, look at mouse preferences [04:28] chris_420, uncomment blacklist snd-atiixp-modem in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-modem [04:28] I can't seem to get a prompt for passphrase at boot which will then create the devicemapper virtual device in /dev/mapper to then be mounted as my /home. I have /etc/crypttab setup properly by uuid which I have veryified multiple times exists ... I then have my fstab mounting the /dev/mapper/blah device which like I said, doesn't get created until it's opened using the passphrase..... [04:28] bazhang: moment of truth (reboot) if this dont work i dunno what il do [04:28] where can i go to learn to build the best linux desktop i can find, (all open source hardware drivers, greatest compatability etc) [04:28] doing all this manually works fine. It just won't prompt for passphrase at boot [04:29] mjbrooks : ok let me give that a try... if it don't work im a put it back lol [04:29] AbstortedMinds: www.google.com [04:29] good luck Bodsda :) [04:29] BRB [04:29] bazhang: ffs error 22 again!!!!!!!!!!

[04:30] !anyone [04:30] 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? [04:30] leftyfb: you checked truecrypt? [04:31] i wouldnt trust truecrypt, try geli [04:31] geli is the best [04:31] !best [04:31] !best [04:31] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [04:31] bazhang: truecrypt doesn't create full linux filesystems, only containers which need to be mounted manually. You cannot mount truecrypt containers using grub [04:31] i dont know if thats on ubuntu, but on freebsd geli is the ultimate option [04:31] ubottu: if it weren't for questions getting overlooked or even being read, that would be a great idea [04:31] hey anyone with fwbuilder working, I have fwbuilder and a firewall i wish to install and any case when i try to compile it it gives me an xml file which i cannot run in terminal, and if i click install it tells me that myfirewall.fw does not exist [04:32] rich_freecomm: ubottu is a bot [04:32] bazhang, truecrypt also has throughput issues [04:32] ahhh lol forgot to sudo gedit lol...

There should be no need to use something from freebsd or some other 3rd party tool [04:32] rich_freecomm: questions are rarely overlooked but if nobody has an answer for the question should we all say " I don't know! " ? [04:32] when I hold down a button on the keyboard my mouse wont move, but when i release the button the mouse moves again. ubuntu with an imac [04:32] im having a bunch of hardware problems in hardy. Could this be because of a bad upgrade? [04:32] i screwed up my usplash, anyone know how i can fix it? [04:33] I have it working fine being mounted manually. I just need to get it to do it at boot. I thought update-initiramfs -u would do it, but i guess not. [04:33] IdleOne: nope...just 1 would do :) [04:33] danbhfive: anything is possible.. i think all upgrades suck.

[04:34] when i ssh into a box, some how no i have lost the use of aliases but it works on the ssh server.

[04:37] blbrown yeah it closes on me from time to time no notice or anything [04:37] wastrel, even if I click on a non-flash link like reddit [04:37] IndyGunFreak: AMD64 Live CD worked?

What about it is a hassle? [04:39] IndyGunFreak: i wasnt offering help i was reminding you of the conduct -- i dont care how long uve been here u still have to abide [04:39] hydrogen: i refer to people like that as "wanna-be ops" [04:39] chris_420, you can do them all at onece... no harm [04:39] wastrel, I am righting a serious rant on the ubuntu forums; It just gets worse [04:39] Bodsda: and i was reminding you i don't care what you think [04:39] hey HELP having problem screen resolution my monitor is CRT 15"... what resolution is best?

[04:40] IndyGunFreak: Ahhh, thanks for bringing that up! Ack, I would've been hosed! I'm going to go with 32bit. [04:40] Could this be an Xorg problem? when I hold down a button on the keyboard my mouse wont move [04:41] rich1, I hear that for that one you have to plug into an ethernet jack so your on the internet and then enable the hardware driver [04:41] i screwed up my usplash, anyone know how i can fix it? [04:41] surplusxmas: shoulda researched it a bit better, those issues are well known [04:41] AbstortedMinds: which button? [04:41] surplusxmas: the biggest thing about 64bit is in almost all cases you don't gain anything from using 64bit [04:41] brb time to retry lol [04:41] In "Monitor Resolution Settings", the "Clones Screens" box is checked.

[04:55] chris_420: thanks for making the effort.... :-) [04:55] is there a fix for ati and ubuntu 8.0.4? [04:55] phoenix180: 3-4 times even..not 34 times..I would have def givin up by then [04:55] It is a shame that WiFi with security is so flaky :-( [04:55] acidicbase: what do you mean fix?

[04:55] gnome is slow as hell [04:55] arbir... when you load it... in the black area where it shows the time or the song and all that you should be able to see a d.... or D click that... [04:55] alright...one more time :)... | In "Monitor Resolution Settings", the "Clones Screens" box is checked. I un-check it, then click "Apply", but somehow it always re-checks it self. How can i fix this? [04:55] DSMatthews_: hidden ssid is silly. turning that off might help . tho wifi with lunix is a bit of voodoo to me still. [04:55] was fine in 7.10 [04:55] acidicbase: lol, you shoud put the pipe down.. :) [04:56] arbir... it would be on the left side... [04:56] Indy...: hidden SSID? [04:56] DSMatthews_: likely usb dongle and wifi is flaky wpa2 works fine here [04:56] DSMatthews_: of coure [04:56] chris_420: let me check [04:56] no it is slow [04:56] (of course [04:56] i can see it draw the windows [04:56] acidicbase, the driver 8.4 from the ATI site, must be direct rendering on [04:56] ok [04:56] I'm having a problem where ethernet stops working. Can be fixed by ifconfig eth0 down (then up). Marvell 88E8056 controller. [04:56] gnome slow???? blasphemy!!!

[04:56] acidicbase, - does yours has catalyst [04:56] ubuntu refuses to install..it's strange. At 31% it tells me that there is something wrong with either my disk drive, hard drive, or I have a corrupted disk [04:57] no, I'm just using what came with 8.0.4 [04:57] crap hold up [04:57] uhm [04:57] (waiting for it) [04:57] phoenix180: md5sum of the iso may fix that [04:57] DSMatthews_: bottom line, its not Linux's fault, its a developer problem, if they would release their drivers to the community so they could be written for Linux, they would work fine, problem is, they wont, so we have to hack ways to use the windows driver. [04:57] acidicbase, either use the restricted drivers.. or get and install from ATI/AMD [04:58] yea i have restricted drivers, it says in use [04:58] DSMatthews_: i use atheros and mad wifi, works perfect.. i hide my essid, have wpa, etc.., no probs [04:58] Indy..: agreed === tbielawa_ is now known as tbielawa [04:58] acidicbase, If those do not work, the work around is to remove them.. and use the Ubuntu 7.10 generic [04:58] hello I can,t connect with WP from far away, i use dell vostro 1400, someone can help me [04:58] I will try that bazhang [04:58] just: from far away? [04:58] yupz [04:58] just: How far is far ? [04:58] may 20 m [04:58] ehhhh how many feet is that? [04:58] chris_420: what do i do ? [04:59] acidicbase, are you familiar with xorg.conf? [04:59] but from near about 5m, i conneted well [04:59] only issue i have on my laptop w/ Ubuntu, is battery life... [04:59] drivetrax: I will try to download the one from ati's site, what do you mean direct rendering? [04:59] drivetrax: yea [04:59] ok if my PC loads, can I then attempt to just fix what is missing? [04:59] i'm not really sure it would be better w/ Vista or XP [04:59] Indy...: will dig around and see if I can sort it out, but some uptodate docs for the low level Wifi stuff on 8.04 would help, may be I'll have to write them. ;-) [04:59] just: Is there a wall or something in the way? [04:59] arbir... if you left click on the D which should be second from the bottom on that side it should close to double the size [04:59] hi, does anybody here have an ati radeon 9800 with desktop effects enabled? [05:00] just: 20 meters is like 65 ft --- that's probably too far away [05:00] This is ridiculous, the first time I've tried upgrading (Dapper), it failed....I've asked *several* people about upgrading Gutsy->Heron and it was all good for them...I try upgrading, and I'm left with this blank screen. [05:00] arbir.... other then that it seems the only way to make it bigger other then changing the resolution of your screen or something [05:00] if I use windows xp it's connected well. [05:00] mine works, but hesitates at times, and i wonder if thats normal [05:00] chris_420: the D is the second from the bottom [05:00] DSMatthews_: beauty of it is, only thing stopping you, is you.. :) [05:00] I am seriously loosing faith in Ubuntu developers. [05:00] acidicbase, there is a caommand to see if the vid card is using tha rendering, but first try the install of that Huge linux driver from ati.. and see if it works for your card. For my 9600 AIW, it was no good. [05:00] And the void.... [05:00] just: It's probably barely connected --- XP does weird things with wifi [05:00] ... of knowledge I must traverse. ;-) [05:00] arbir yes... from the bottom of the black area... theres a V then above it is a D [05:00] drivetrax: will do [05:00] lol, true. [05:01] I'm running Hardy, when I try to start firefox, it tells me that it's already running and I have to close it or reboot [05:01] kazol: on eof these days people will learn, upgrades always suck, do clean installs, and you'll have no headaches [05:01] I rebooted, and it's still telling me that. what lockfile do I have to delete [05:01] ikonia, are you around [05:01] chris_420: i have already done that through the menu option, and still its super small [05:01] kazol, perhaps there is something specific to how you do your setup that causes the breakage [05:01] < plays amy winehouse rehab.... [05:01] acidicbase, if the driver does not work remove it, disable restricted drivers, and that would mean removing fglrx [05:01] before I have use ubuntu fiesty itu working well. but now I change to hardy [05:01] bazhang, hello [05:01] Thanks guys, will let you know if I discover anything worth sharing. Bye [05:01] drivetrax: it seems like that ati driver was for 9800 and above [05:01] chris_420: also , if i play audacious, all other programs are not able to output their sounds [05:01] IndyGunFreak: Maybe I should just install Gentoo. [05:01] arvind_khadri: hi [05:02] egc, I fink [05:02] arbir yeah i think that has to do with the xmms/winamp heritage haha [05:02] kazol: lmao, yeah.. there's a problem-free distro..lol [05:02] bazhang, issue with the resolution [05:02] hello ubuntu friends [05:02] kazol: that is offtopic here thanks [05:02] bazhang, cat set 1024x [05:02] rjune_: type ps aux | grep firefox and find the PID usualy 5 numbers and then type kill PID ( replace with the numbers ) [05:02] arvind_khadri: what card and what drivers how installed [05:02] HardyOne: I rebooted. [05:02] i upgraded to hardy, and now i cannot use sudo [05:02] rjune_: some time firefox won't shut down cleanly. try running `killall -9 firefox` in a terminal [05:02] chris_420: is there no way out of that audacious, hogging the sound device ? [05:02] arbir i think thats relatively normal.... mine does the same.... but i always turn off the sounds in most of my programms from the get go lol [05:02] bazhang: Well I wasted all this time configuring this desktop, now I need to reinstall all over. [05:02] bazhang, nvidia 7300 gt restricted drivers no envy [05:02] tbielawa: again, I rebooted. this is still hapening. [05:02] bazhang: I'm sick of Ubuntu right now. [05:02] oh my [05:02] arbir im not to sure about that hold on one sec [05:02] is the ati proprietary driver available in the repo the same as whats available from the ati site?? [05:03] kazol: best to take a break then [05:03] bazhang: The same thing happened TWICE! On *different* hardware. [05:03] tbielawa: sending -SKILL is a bit drastic in most cases [05:03] Cpudan80: before i use ubuntu fiesty it's working goods [05:03] just [05:03] oopps [05:03] chris_420: suppose if i need to play my youtube video, then i pause my song, and see my video. but audacious, just sucks away all the audio. [05:03] mjbrooks: I'm not aware of anything specific. [05:03] yeah, TERM works fine usually. [05:03] kazol feisty did not work for me--> but this should be in #ubuntu-offtopic [05:03] egc, use envy to install your ati drivers.. [05:03] bazhang, i have been reconfiguring X a 100 times nothing seems to work [05:03] its possible there was some minor change to the driver - I really dont know :-/ [05:03] bazhang, is Hardy preconfigured.. some modules for some pc [05:03] kazol, if you have your /home on a seperate partition, or backup and restore you entire /home directory you won't need to reconfig your desktop [05:03] hydrogen:, rjune_ We use this script in my office: http://csee.wvu.edu/~tbielawa/fixMozilla [05:03] arvind_khadri: 7300? works fine here [05:04] arvind_khadri: PM? [05:04] mjbrooks: I'll still lose some system settings and installed programs. [05:04] arbir it seems to be the case [05:04] bazhang, it used to work with 7.10 not here...compiz doesnt work with out the drivers [05:04] tbielawa: thats a pretty huge amount of code to replace a one line entry [05:04] I installed ubuntu on a usb external drive. when I boot up grub says" rror 2" [05:04] drivetrax: you mean kernle modules? [05:04] chris_420: how is it, that such a big issue has been overlooked ? [05:04] bazhang, i reconfigured my X and all this happend [05:04] can anyone help me, for some reason i dont have any audio from music video or web browser [05:04] tbielawa: I wasn't removing .parentlock. thank you [05:04] unless theres a way to run multiple sessions ot the audio driver [05:04] hydrogen: it covers allllll the bases and you only run one line ;) [05:04] bazhang, can i get back my old X?? [05:04] rjune_: you're welcome! [05:05] chris_420: Rythmbox is choppy when i minimise and maximise windows [05:05] arvind_khadri: pm okay? [05:05] is there some sort of "guide" on installing+booting from USB drives? [05:05] arbir im not sure.... but im thinking it might be a positive... [05:05] i can set my display right with displayconfig but then on restart it goes back to the max settings what should i do? [05:05] chris_420: so, i need a good music player which is light weight [05:05] arbir... rhythmbox only has one thing going for it.... the ease of adding many files at the same time haha [05:05] bazhang, yes.. are some of them pre-configured .. I see folks here saying repeatative things.. like the hang at the login.. like this video driver issue .. etc [05:05] arbir: mpg321! [05:05] chris_420: rythmbox also helps me copy files from my ipod and other ipods. [05:06] are there any screencasting apps that actually work with hardy and nvidia drivers? [05:06] arbir that might help but i know i had the same prob with xmms... [05:06] hydrogen: let me check [05:06] I have Ubuntu installed on a 15 gig partition. I save all my files to the partition that windows is on (125 gig). Is there anything wrong with this, or should I resize the partitions and move everything to the Ubuntu-side. [05:06] drivetrax: well there are a *few* bugs to be worked out with Hardy atm; the perils of early adoption :) [05:06] Ded_Ryzing, screencasting? whas that? [05:06] any help please? [05:06] < has no mp3 player other then my cd player so thats not an issue for me haha [05:06] desktop vid recording [05:06] Mattevt: there's nothing wrong with that if you're still using windows [05:06] bazhang, -- I'm seeing that.. [05:06] yeah, ubuntu has had a locking up issue for a long time now. don't have it with any other distro :( [05:06] bazhang: shouldn't perils of early adoption go away by the time its released...? [05:06] chris_420: also, audacious is not showing those popups from the system tray when song changes [05:07] so fast here [05:07] Ded_Ryzing, yes, there is that for linux [05:07] arbir you have that plugin initialized? [05:07] amazing [05:07] yeah its on the system tray @ chris_420 [05:07] arbir what version ubuntu you running? [05:07] there's a program that lets me install Ubuntu from an XP install, can someone tell me what it's named? [05:07] 8.x @ chris_420 [05:07] hydrogen: hard to do with 6mos release cycle though [05:07] For Ubuntu 8.04...have tried Istanbul and xvidcap (and others) and none seem to work [05:08] Hey guys [05:08] arbir same here i just upgraded and so far knock on wood im having little problem with it haha [05:08] Netham45: wubi? [05:08] Netham45 do you mean Wubi? [05:08] I have a few problems with my new instalation of ubuntu hardy haron [05:08] Ded_Ryzing, load up your add/remove programs and look in Sound&Video [05:08] Psyco_Chipmunkk, what would they be? [05:08] bazhang: which suggests that a six month release cycle is a bad idea [05:08] chris_420: so far, 8.x has been choppy on my laptop.. [05:08] i love the 6mo cycle [05:08] hydrogen: muahahaha, all of linux is early adoption! the joke is on you! [05:08] dont know if thats the case with other people as well [05:09] first of all, for some reason, the sound on the applications of my computer wil go off and on, but programs like firefox with always have sound [05:09] But now VLC [05:09] For some reason, after upgrading to Hardy, my login screen resolution is too low 800x600. How do i fix? [05:09] Avidemux [05:09] skarface: ok thanks, I just wanted to be sure i wasn't hurting anything, by storing files in windows and accessing them through ubuntu. I just wanted to try ubuntu, then when I decided I liked it better, I started doing all my work in ubuntu and just saving it in vista's space. [05:09] bazhang: reguardless of what our favorite diety Mr. Shuttleworth likes to preach [05:09] kazol, this might interest you http://aptoncd.sourceforge.net/ [05:09] i'm trying to learn how to use Anjuta IDE. Does anyone know of any good references for learning this? [05:09] Or rythmbox [05:09] bazhang, phoenix180 yes, thanks. [05:09] So, wtf? [05:09] arbir ahhh.... what laptop you got?

It's too low and I don't know how to adjust it. [05:15] netham with what? ralink chipsets? [05:15] Psyco_Chipmunkk: there is an outstanding bug with that; best to play one source of sound for now--esp youtube and mp3 [05:15] Hey, for those using FireFox.. there is.. Seamonkey [05:15] for some odd reason when I leave my computer on screensaver for a while... like a weekend I have to reboot it. [05:15] drivetrax: Seamonkey is much more bloated than Firefox is, unfortunately.

So everything goes ok, it reboots then install ubuntu, then reboots again. Grub comes out and when I choose to boot ubuntu (normal and safe mode) it shows "Error 16: inconsistent file structure". Tried 64 and 32 bit version and both the same problem [05:20] <[Lowkey]> Can someone please help me install the driver for the spca5xx chipset? I need it for my webcam. [05:20] adub: it's packaged in hardy, you aren't running hardy... are you? [05:21] i need help installling drivers on tx2000z [05:21] no [05:21] netham45: i think thats the first ubuntu install i did from cd the first adventure from livecd's lol [05:21] i can download the deb tho cant i? [05:21] [Lowkey]: where are you stuck [05:21] <[Lowkey]> I don't even know where to get it :( [05:21] el_ja|out, I'm not familiar with wubi installs... are you installing it on an NTFS partition or are you reformatting the drive that has space? [05:21] <`KoRn> hi anyone, i just installed postgresql how do i start using it? [05:21] sorry...another silly question: I'm used to winrar and the whole .exe deal. I extracted a tar.gz file to the desktop, what am I looking for to install this? [05:21] adub you can try, here's the url: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/p2kmoto [05:22] [Lowkey]: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Spca5xx [05:22] netham45: i remeber when you used to be able to reliably upgrade distros from the commandline haha [05:22] Mattevt: just double click it [05:22] <[Lowkey]> :D Thank you wastrel [05:22] how would i download the deb [05:22] ok, a update on my problem... When i try to play like a song in rythembox, nothing work's now as it did yesterday. I click a song and the song progress bar doesent even move [05:22] now its recommended not to hahaaaaaaaaaa [05:22] I'm not reformatting, because that drive has some folder from windows and it has like 60gb left, so the wubi installer lets me choose that drive to make a partition. I think its doing another ntfs, I'm not sure. [05:23] double click what, ere4si? It's a folder with a bunch of files. I just want to know which does which [05:23] adub: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/i386/p2kmoto/download [05:23] el_ja|out, I think you need to do a scandisk in windows on that drive [05:23] Mattevt, are you trying to install something? [05:23] fyi, just in case anyone does know, wubi is on for trials. [05:23] el_ja|out, to actually mount .. I believe you use LVM [05:23] Mattevt: is there a readme file? [05:23] doesnt [05:23] yes adam7 [05:24] only [05:24] i'm looking now [05:24] mjbrooks ok I'll try [05:24] chào [05:24] yes there's a readme, but it didn't help [05:24] drivetrax I don't know how to use lvm [05:24] Mattevt, you probably want to use the package manage (Synaptic) found in System -> Administration -> Package Manager to install things, it is *far* easier :) [05:24] hi [05:24] oh, thanks adam7. I'll try that. [05:24] el_ja|out, an incositent filesystem on an NTFS partition means windows didn't let it go cleanly [05:24] hey guys, I was here before asking for some help with setting up my webcam, I have tried the the options from ubottu but none of them are working :( my cam should be supported but when I try the "make" commands of the packages selected I get errors. I think I might of messed up the settings by now from trying all of the options available. [05:24] <`KoRn> ubuntu-women [05:25] any help getting this working would be appreciated :D [05:25] do you have to run maintenance scripts in ubuntu [05:25] dependancy not satisfied libc6 [05:25] No1CaNTeL: you need the "build-essential" package to run "make" [05:25] How do I get all the man pages for things like time.h on my machine? [05:26] strobedream: manpages-dev [05:26] mjbrooks I'm going to, and tell you what happens after [05:26] make seems to work but it fails while processing [05:26] wastrel: thanks [05:26] where do I find build essentials? [05:26] whoa, adam7, thanks. [05:26] No1CaNTeL, sudo apt-get install build-essential [05:27] yeah, it was already installed [05:27] wastrel: ok so I did that, but I still get no manpage. Is there a way I can rebuild them? [05:27] Wubi - Can I move my virtual disk file to a dedicated partition? (YES) use LVPM. [05:27] No1CaNTeL, what do the errors during make say? [05:27] strobedream: man time.h ? [05:27] Mattevt, that is probably the most different thing about Ubuntu then Windows - but it allows you to easily install any software, or to upgrade the entire system at once :) [05:27] when I run the commands from the help page I was suggested to use, the processes while running make seem to fail [05:27] chane group [05:28] mj, one sec [05:28] strobedream: try man 2 time [05:28] wastrel: it says no manual entry. Even though manpages-dev is up to date. [05:28] ahh [05:28] ok [05:28] wastrel: that got me something [05:28] hello [05:29] hello all... [05:29] yes hello [05:30] is any1 familiar with tx2000z? [05:30] meh [05:30] mjbrooks: http://pastebin.com/m7c257936 [05:30] tbielawa im assuming you have or had a motorola razor. Have you been able to get moto4lin to work?? [05:30] !anyone [05:30] 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? [05:30] i have it installed but it will not connect to my razor [05:30] the razor will charge off my laptop so the drivers are working [05:31] how do i get sound working on tx2000z [05:31] No1CaNTeL, are you executing that command with sudo? [05:31] Nice, this place does exist. [05:32] I have one other q too, if one of ya can PLEASE help with this :D for some reason when I run console, my "l" button loads a new console window instead of typing the character "l", anyone have an idea why? "L" works but not "l" [05:32] I'm trying to access Pandora.com (it streams custom radio). It's flash, (I'm guessing, judging by the large "play" symbols.) and the load freezes at the same spot every time. [05:32] mjbrooks: yes I am [05:32] What is the reason that top and GNOME system monitor designate the process /usr/bin/X as 'Xorg'? [05:32] What are the drawbacks to using encrypted LVM? [05:32] og_: Maciel? [05:32] or is this p2k program let you mess with the filesystem?? [05:33] No1CaNTeL, it looks like you might not have the right version of gcc installed [05:34] gcc version 4.1.3 20070929 (prerelease [05:34] ) [05:34] No1CaNTeL: sounds like a bad keyboard shortcut got put in [05:34] No1CaNTeL, hmmmm [05:34] hello..can someone aid in getting r128 card working right in ppc? [05:34] how do I close a program that does not want to close? [05:34] It keeps running even after I select to close [05:34] so i see VLC doesn't support sftp connections. is there a way to map an SSH connection to a folder to make the link transparent? [05:34] No1CaNTeL: edit > keyboard shortcuts [05:34] What are the pitfalls/drawbacks to using encryption on an LVM partition scheme? [05:35] i found the website link for the sounds [05:35] but its not working [05:35] prettyricky: Then you might consider to 'kill' its process. [05:35] how? [05:35] prettyricky: ps -ef | more then look for the pid of the process [05:35] doesn't gnome have a process monitor? [05:35] ok [05:35] hydrogen: yes. [05:35] in kde you just hit ctrl-escape [05:35] pgrep/pkill <3 (use with care) [05:35] also xkill [05:35] guis are nice things [05:36] I'd suggest recommending their use [05:36] hydrogen, <3 KDE ;) [05:36] rather than age old console fallbacks [05:36] <3 cli [05:36] guis are nice because they allow you to open more shells :) [05:36] hydrogen: It is called GNOME system monitor. [05:36] original.. [05:37] wastrel: I dont see anything in keyboard shortcuts regarding "l" or terminal [05:37] <3 anythings that gets the job done [05:37] hello i cant get my music up and my screen is acting up i have a tx2000 tablet [05:37] what can it be [05:37] so much for that idea [05:37] mjbrooks: any other ideas with the cam? [05:37] <3 women [05:37] studentsae----------ok I see a lot of stuff what to do?? by the way the program I cant terminate is NES emulator [05:37] I was feeling left out. [05:37] wastrel: it jsut started to happen a couple days ago, no real reason for it form what I can tell [05:38] prettyricky: ps -ef | grep nes [05:38] I keep havng to cut & paste the letter l each time [05:38] prettyricky: start up gnome system monitor [05:38] ok ty [05:38] and then right click on the process [05:38] prettyricky: then kill the pids for it [05:38] should disappear [05:39] jesus [05:39] he's ok. [05:39] first time doing this,, how do I do that? [05:39] No1CaNTeL: there's also the gnome shortcuts system > preferences > keyboard shortcuts [05:39] no invocation of religious deities in a secular channel, please [05:39] sorry, open terminal window option is set to disabled, it is ther I just missed it but by the looks of it it is not the reason :( [05:39] No1CaNTeL, unless this is you, you aren't the only one https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/spca5xx/+bug/206069 [05:39] Launchpad bug 206069 in spca5xx "problem to compile spca5xx with actual versions of gcc" [Undecided,New] [05:39] there's a "new terminal" shortcut [05:39] could be that it was the spanish channel..then jesus is cool [05:40] wastrel: oh, that is wher eI went :P [05:40] just wrong channel [05:40] prettyricky: alt-f2, xkill click the window you want to kill [05:40] ok thank you [05:41] prettyricky: kill -9 usually gets the job done ;) [05:41] No1CaNTeL: in the terminal menu edit > keyboard shortcuts [05:41] wastrel: is edit > keyboard shortcuts in the terminal? [05:41] yeah [05:41] studentsae: it's already been pointed out at least once tonight that kill -9 is a *really bad* first resort [05:41] is hardy supposed to support the intel 3945ABG wifi card without needing to download drivers? [05:42] studentsae---------you mean type kill -9 in terminal right? [05:42] mjbrooks: ty, I will look this over tonight, and if it is still a prob in the morn I will return the cam and grab a different one [05:42] Should I not use encrypted LVM unless I really need to? [05:42] hydrogen: ever work with java its sometimes the only resort. [05:42] studentsae: sometimes, that doesn't mean you should resort to it first thing [05:43] solrize, mine works fine [05:43] hmm [05:43] Daisuke_Ido: true..not for every issue. but as a first resort depends on the issue. [05:43] Hey does anyone know how to get sound from everything to come through my usb headset. I am using Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy [05:44] studentsae: No idea what java has to do with this [05:44] studentsae: nothing, based on the previous discussion [05:44] unless of course, you just want to provide evidence that java is a really bad langauge [05:44] but that soff topic [05:44] ! [05:44] hydrogen: alot...if you have a runaway thread. [05:44] solrize, are you on a laptop? [05:44] mjbrooks, yes, thinkpad t61 === ka2u is now known as ka2zzzz [05:44] again, *if* [05:45] so, if you write bad code... you need to take drastic measures? [05:45] sounds right to me! === tbielawa_ is now known as tbielawa_smkbrk [05:45] hydrogen: then its poor development programming that can cause nasty things to happen to a linux box..sometimes the only resort is to kill -9 ...and until developer fixes it..it is then the first and only resort. [05:45] i notice several bugs in the isntall, i wonder if there will be a bugfix release? [05:45] solrize, does it have a switch to turn it on and off? [05:45] when i'm connected to a wireless router... how can i get the IP address of the router (to login/administrate). i'm on ubuntu gutsy. [05:45] hydrogen: like forcing that bad code to be preloaded on almost every pc :) [05:45] the wifi? yes, it is turned on [05:45] Thanks a lot guys! [05:45] at least it says it's in the on position [05:45] Daisuke_Ido: didnt say i wrote it...:) [05:45] lemme try it in the other position [05:46] studentsae: even if you need to kill -9 it, that doesn't mean its the first thing you do [05:46] solrize, lol i always get mine backwards [05:46] Will encrypted LVM considerably slow down my read/write? Are there any other drawbacks? [05:46] you fall back to it iff kill -15 (or something in between) doesn't work [05:46] hydrogen: like said..its based on case..then based on that..it might be the resort. === elninja is now known as Arrr [05:46] arooni-mobile: try "arp" [05:46] What is the reason that top and GNOME system monitor designate the process /usr/bin/X as 'Xorg'? [05:46] By the way is anyone using NES emulator if so, how in the world do you use the controls.. Do you need a usb controller? [05:46] surplusxmas, the slowdown is slight for normal use [05:47] or route [05:47] mjbrooks: Thank you. Can you think of any reason not to use it? [05:47] studentsae: right, if you know from *past experience* that you need to kill -9 something, then you can kill -9 that same something again [05:47] that does not make it in any way, shape, or form, the first resort if a process is hanging [05:47] mjbrooks: This will be for an average use desktop PC. [05:47] I've been trying for days to get sound to come out of my usb headset for everything, but the login and logout sound still doesn't which isn't important, but it's part of a bigger problem because the game enemy territory also does not send sound through my headset only my speakers which plug into the computer with a analog plug [05:47] * Scrounch is now away: off [05:48] hydrogen: it is a bit circular in logic...but read what you wrote... [05:48] surplusxmas, kinda silly on a desktop PC, definately recommended on a laptop [05:48] hydrogen: depends on the sitch. [05:48] studentsae: no, it doesn't. [05:48] studentsae: you are wrong in this case [05:48] mjbrooks: Yes, true. I've considered that before, but never seriously until now. [05:48] hydrogen: experience [05:48] and argueing won't make you right [05:49] I'm using Feisty 7.04 kubuntu. kevineamigh: Now that was strange. I was just going to paste a similar problem ;) [05:49] hydrogen: said it and stated it yourself [05:49] mjbrooks: Especially for home use. I'm going to go without. Thanks for your help. :) [05:49] * Scrounch is now away: off [05:49] studentsae: yes, and that has nothing tod o with what your saying [05:49] guys I did a ctrl alt del... that worked, [05:49] if process foo requires you to kill -9 it every time it hangs [05:49] kevineamigh: does the headset show up in lsusb ? [05:49] that doesn't mean when process bar hangs, you kill -9 it immediatly [05:49] newbie here so just trying to learn, thanks for all your help [05:49] * Firefishe headset does show up in lsusb [05:50] hydrogen: well im here to make technical arguments so lets get back on topic...thanks for the 2 cents though. [05:50] bah, laptop had gone into suspend mode and when i hit a key to come out of suspend it started dumping squashfs error messages to the screen and i had to power cycle it] [05:50] but I don't have sound. the volume switch on the cord seems to work though. [05:50] studentsae: thats not a technical arguement [05:50] yes my headset does show up [05:50] i'm getting pretty close to saying "hardy doesn't work" [05:50] studentsae: you've pretty much said "I'm wrong, but rather than conceeding that I'm wrong I'm going to try and bring up the fact that this is off topic" [05:50] I'm keeping Feisty and hardening it [05:50] ubuntu 8.04 is loading vesa instead of ati for my firegl 9000... how to fix the problem? [05:50] prettyricky: you've been given multiple methods of disposing of the process [05:50] wait a sec what is lsusb [05:51] kevineamigh: in a terminal type alsamixer and see that all is up [05:51] kevineamigh: it's a command line command [05:51] hydrogen: ty [05:51] hydrogen: you win [05:51] solrize, I was close to saying that at first, but now that I've used it a bit I can't imagine going back to Gutsy [05:51] does anyone here have a tablet pc if so how did you get the pen to work again? [05:52] yep my headset is the only thing showing up [05:52] hi, i upgraded to ubuntu 8.04, theres any way to go back to 7.10 :)? [05:52] I have a toshiba satellite and pen wont work, it was working with 7.10 but updated to 8.04 and wont work now [05:52] niuq: Unfortunately, no. You would have to reinstall from scratch. [05:52] zionpsyfer: :( [05:53] what kind of archive is .bz2 ? [05:53] sektor, bzip [05:53] I found a work around when I had gutsy that seemed to work great, but things were working good, but it doesn't work since ubuntu changed to pulse audio as a default in 8.04 [05:53] zionpsyfer: i have some troubles with this upgrade, i think i'll have to reinstall 7.04, and waint untill everything is working well with 8.04 [05:53] kevineamigh: I meant turned up [05:53] mjbrooks, so how can i extract articles.xml.bz2 [05:54] ubuntu 8.04 is loading vesa instead of ati for my firegl 9000... how to fix the problem?

I was hoping to have the old apps around in case I wanted them for anything.... [07:16] n2diy: rebooting my computer restarts kdm right? [07:16] vlad: gftp should work [07:16] if you want kde 3.5 to be gone, yes. [07:16] n2diy: also do I restart faster by just doing /etc/init.d/kdm restart ? [07:16] Bodsda: unfortunately et doesn't have a setting in game. Some other programs I had a issue with before did have a setting in the program, but not et. Also, since the system sounds don't work then there has to be another sound related issue with 8.04 that is causing the problem. I know I read they changed from alsa to pulse audio for 8.04, but I didn't think they would make it harder to use headsets in the new version then [07:16] it was in the old one. It just is kind of studpid [07:16] navetz: you might find better answers in #kubuntu, they play with kde? [07:16] Hmm "Package kde is not installed" [07:16] wastrel: hey man i just installed gftp but it says i got not ssl activated or smth can u help me? [07:17] n2diy: ah ok, I have asked there as well but no respone [07:17] its ok I will try the reboot in the secure mode thing and see if it fixes the issue [07:17] vlad: i don't use it sorry. i use sftp on the command line [07:17] thanks for the help [07:17] So what package sould I remove for kde 3.5? [07:17] and the time [07:17] !kde | Gokee2 [07:17] Gokee2: KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu. To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop », or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE . Latest KDE version is 3.5.8 for Gutsy and Feisty, 3.5.6 for Edgy, and 3.5.5 for Dapper. See http://kubuntu.org for more information. [07:17] ebaad: You'll need to make the edits anyways in the recovery console [07:17] thx man [07:17] test [07:17] im having trouble with my trashcan, when I click empty the icon doesnt change or when I put a file in the trash, the icon doesnt change, until later, its like delayed. anybody heard of that? [07:17] Gokee2: when you install kde4 you have to choose to login to it, there'll be another entry in the login manager [07:17] I even tried to uninstall pulse audio but it I do it says that it has to uninstall the ubuntu desktop [07:17] yes i will try that way [07:17] AbstortedMinds: a quick google was all thats needed -- http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=417089 [07:17] ebaad: Did the hostname command not work? [07:18] kevineamigh: sorry not sure what to suggest [07:18] navetz: Ok, when the Xwindow splash screen comes up for you to log in, is there an options menu to select from? [07:18] it cannot make edits in the hosts file only in hostname file [07:18] stdin, I told it to use kdm-4 as the default splash screen [07:18] odd [07:18] no problem [07:18] thnx anyway [07:18] well try the recovery console, then. Shouldn't be any wierd write permissions there [07:18] see you soon [07:18] patifa: can u not use chowner or chmod to give write access to the file?@ [07:18] Gokee2: who told you that? it doesn't matter which you use, kdm/kdm-kde4/gdm [07:19] n2diy: yes, the probelm is when I configure my xorg to use dual screen, I don't get to a splash screen [07:20] navetz: hmmm, sorry, I'm lost, I don't run dual screens. [07:20] n2diy: alright, thanks :) [07:20] navetz: GL [07:21] I logged out and choose kde4... Wow does it ever look awful! [07:22] vlad: you might want to try "gftp-gtk", a package you cn install from the synaptic package manager. [07:22] gokee2: you can make KDE look ok by a lot of customization [07:22] It's a 'classic' FTP client with SSH support [07:22] Argh, I can't bookmark anything in Firefox! [07:22] What gives? [07:22] I go to "organize" and I get three completely empty panes. [07:22] gokee2: that's why a lot of people prefer KDE, more customization, but i still use GNOME :) it does look better [07:23] gokee2: but KDE4 lacks in customization options so it sucks [07:23] ARGH! [07:23] Hi everyone, I had a question regarding screen brightness adjustment on my dell laptop in ubuntu 8.04. When I press the fn+ keys to adjust the screen brightness, it does adjust, but instead of just going one notch, it adjusts about 60% of the bar in that direction. Is there any way to adjust how much it changes with each keypress? [07:24] DanaG: who owns the Bookmark file? [07:24] GNOME vs KDE: I find I prefer whichever one I'm not using at the time ;) [07:24] Hello! Can I clean a faulty Hardy upgrade from the CD I just downloaded and toasted? [07:24] It's on fat32, so there's no such thing as permissions. [07:24] ok well since my problem with my headset does not have a current solution by the looks of it since I've spent like a week trying to find one, I have a rather simple question to ask that probably has a easy solution [07:24] ackbahr: how 'toasted' did you get? [07:24] Hmm I did not like gnome when I tried it. I mostly use xfce, but kde4 is really REALLY bad! I think something must be set wrong [07:24] drwxrwxrwx 2 root shadow 4096 2008-05-01 22:56 bookmarkbackups [07:24] stuff like that. [07:24] how do I get number lock to be on by default on startup [07:24] ackbahr: did u put it in a toaster? [07:25] I'd like to know that one, too. My numlock light turns on it, but numlock isn't actually active. [07:25] DanaG: ok root owns it, who are you? [07:25] It's set to 777 permissions, though. [07:25] my password has numbers in it along with letters so it is much more convient if number lock is on [07:25] patifa: I backed it in a oven, actually (parmigiano, olive oil on a slice of brown bread) [07:25] ackbahr: sounds nice [07:26] patifa: But my laptop is more or less in the same state as if I had put it in a toaster, thanks to this Hardy upgrade! [07:26] DanaG: ok on the 777, bad practice. And it is called bookmarkbackups? [07:26] That's just one of the folders there; all files in the profile are there. [07:26] Bodsda: More seriously, is there something else to do than wipe everything and start over? [07:26] Ackbar! [07:26] I mean, all are 777. [07:27] Oh yeah, and some pages are bookmarkable, but some are not. [07:27] ackbahr: Still need to be more specific. Does GRUB start? Can you make it to flash screen? Does it power on? [07:27] OzFalcon: AckbaHr [07:27] ackbahr: you want a clean install -- tar your /home then put it on a seperate hd then reinstall, other then that, not really [07:27] ackbahr, ;-) [07:27] err, that's splash screen [07:27] DanaG: use my nick in your replies, so I can pull them out of the noise! [07:27] how can I find out what intel graphics card I have? [07:28] navetz: lspci [07:28] i think i have i810 but i am not sure [07:28] navetz: lshw [07:28] navetz, lspci [07:28] I know it's hard to press the number lock button everytime I boot up to put in my password, but I've kind of got used to not having to do it over the years [07:28] thanks [07:28] patifa: This is what went wrong : dpkg is screwed up and would only install things again after I wiped its memory, and my graphical settings are completely off. [07:28] ackbahr, Couldn't figure out why I couldn't change nick...... Then I used Ackbar (Like Frak). ANd your right there! [07:28] does anyone know how to configure the screen brightness controls for a laptop? [07:28] PROPHET MUHAMMAD SUCKS CAMEL DICK [07:28] !ops | AHMAGHNEJAD [07:28] AHMAGHNEJAD: Help!

[07:29] AbstortedMinds: what did? [07:29] I've got 2 drives, 4 partitions [07:29] Bodsda: Yes, that was a good decision.... [07:30] one of those 4 partitions was used for ubuntu (well, split into 2 for the swap as well) [07:30] snowveil, you let it auto part. [07:30] I didn't [07:30] this is my dispaly controler: Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/GME, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) [07:30] I manually did it [07:30] ackbahr: yeah ;~) [07:30] does that mean I am using i810 intel? [07:30] I am not to familiar with this [07:30] snowveil: did u format it [07:30] navetz, yeah [07:30] no [07:30] snowveil, Hmmm. Is the part GONE or just unmounted? [07:30] Any experts with dmraid on? [07:30] I set it to ignore that partition [07:30] arvind_khadri: thanks [07:30] I guess just unmounted? [07:30] hoi ..

[07:31] I remember there is one particular python file [07:31] navetz, welcome [07:31] Bodsda: So you see it's not that bad, but it's clearly crippled [07:31] tech0007: how would I go about seeing if it's simply just not mounted? [07:31] arvind_khadri: how's the usplash? [07:32] ackbahr: yeah, reinstall would be best [07:32] is there anyone here who wants to help me get my cdrom functioning? [07:32] snowveil: use gparted [07:32] ere4si, pissed off and left it :) [07:32] Bodsda: I backed up /home, but before I do a complete reinstall, is there something else I should backup? [07:32] snowveil: what filesystem is it? [07:32] ere4si, had issues with xserver after words ...now proper [07:32] it is either ntfs or fat32, I can't recall [07:32] arvind_khadri: seems the kernel was trying to allocate resources twice [07:32] ackbahr: nope -- ul lose installed apps but thats it,.,. just reinstall now m8 [07:32] I'm thinking it's fat32 but I'm not 100% positive [07:32] arvind_khadri: from what I read [07:32] ! backup | ackbahr [07:32] ackbahr: There are many ways to back your system up.

[07:34] DistroJockey: What's in this folder? [07:34] zvacet, beat me to it :) [07:34] NetworkManager is poop! It will not set up WPA with Hidden SSID, but you can do it using these instructions, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=318539, anyone know why NM does not do a complete setup of interfaces?

I'm trying to run warcraft 3 with it, and when I load it, it runs like utter crap [07:34] ackbahr : all packages you downloaded with synaptic or apt-get [07:34] ACK [07:34] ariqs: #winehq [07:34] it very much will DS [07:35] your doing something wrong [07:35] ere4si, aah ok ... i feel Ubuntu is trying to bring in a lot of changes which are not good...its going hayward [07:35] arvind_khadri: ask in #ubuntu-kernel, they are quite now. [07:35] darkcrab: always the users fault :P [07:35] heh [07:35] n2diy, :) thanks for that [07:35] DistroJockey: Ah, ok.... I was rather thinking of some setting things like printer settings, little tweakings I did now and then.... Where are they likely to be? [07:35] arvind_khadri: it's a lts - think long term [07:35] if I didnt know it for a fact I wouldnt have said it === CC is now known as Whatever|UrT [07:35] is three anyone here who could help me sort out my optical drive plz? [07:36] darkcrab: hehe [07:36] ikonia: I don't know if you remember, but I had some trouble getting fully maximized windows on an external monitor, that mirrors my laptop because the resolution wasn't set properly. I haven't found an elegant way to do it, but if I move the window's titlebar down to the bottom of the screen (so it's below the 800 height of my laptop) and then maximize it, it works as expected. Just to let you nkow. [07:36] It should be a "no brainer", that is the point of a GUI, in the end I wrote the required parameters to /etc/network/interfaces [07:36] ackbahr, they should all be in your home dir [07:36] ackbahr, all the .whatever folders [07:36] it is a no brainer ds my friend [07:36] snowveil, Have you run "ls /dev/sd*" ??? [07:36] barana: is it listed in /etc.fstab? [07:36] just choose other network [07:36] enter your ssid [07:36] */etc/fstab [07:36] any know problems with firefox 3? [07:36] enter wpa [07:36] ackbahr, they be hidden by default [07:36] ere4si, this is long term but what about the ones that follow .... i feel really weird about such a small release cycle....should be atleast a year gap .... [07:36] DistroJockey: Ah yep, that's right.... [07:36] Well I must have to much brain then.... [07:36] and enter your key [07:36] bodsda: wine channel people are not helpful. They're linux elitists [07:36] which dir should I run that from, OzFalcon? [07:37] tijn: flash randomly crashes FF3 [07:37] DistroJockey: Yep, I know.... How can I display them to copy them? [07:37] * Rabiddog slaps his damn newly upgraded ubuntu kernel...........I guess I need to remember how I recompiled the kernel to support dmraid and slowed the startup by about 3 secs for the raid array to spin up, dang ubuntu won't recognize my /home drive which is a raid array [07:37] flash works better in epiphany [07:37] ere: ill look [07:37] I have a Python which I want to run it on a server. I can run succesfully it on 8.04 desktop but not on server. Here is the command: python -c "import socket, struct; struct.unpack('L', socket.inet_aton(\"172.17.7.100\"))[0]" , It gives the error message "struct.error: unpack requires a string argument of length 8". Any idea about this? [07:37] snowveil, any [07:37] arvind_khadri: 3 years support for the lts - I hang off until 8.04.1 for a regular use desktop install [07:37] ariqs: yes,.,.but i bet they are helpfull [07:37] ackbahr, in Nautilus, goto View - Show Hidden Files (or press Ctrl+H) [07:37] I tried everything logical on two laptops with different chip sets, on both NM fails, but setting up interfaces works! [07:38] ere4si, whats that ?? [07:38] just ran it OzFalcon [07:38] dont know what to tell you DS, I have never had a problem. [07:38] DistroJockey: Yep, found that.... :) Sorry for asking before checking! [07:38] ere4si: me too. [07:38] ere4si, dont you feel a release cycle of 6 months is too short?? [07:38] ackbahr, np, needed a warmup ;) [07:38] or a solution? ;_0 [07:38] snowveil: sudo /sbin/parted /dev/sdX print [07:38] arvind_khadri: I have 8.04 on a "testing" machine - the comp I do work on has 7.10 [07:38] sz0: try #python [07:39] the solution is that Network Manager has always worked for me. [07:39] arvind_khadri: yes === FriedCPU is now known as FRiEd|BnC [07:39] arvind_khadri: 6 months seems less than optimal [07:39] arvind_khadri: no, LTS is on a three year release cycle, IIRC? [07:39] used *nix since 1996, I'm not that green.... [07:39] snowveil, then try something like this "sudo fdisk /dev/sda -l" [07:39] stdin: Ok. [07:39] ere4si, we wont loose Users in six months or so....by making the cycle so short we make every thing so unstable [07:39] ere4si: is seems to be there under scd0 - yes [07:40] snowveil, to list the partitions on that disk. [07:40] n2diy, :) am talking about the release cycle not the support :) [07:40] I really think that a new operating system that is developed in today's world should not have so many issues when it comes to sound, number lock, or some of the other issues people have that they shouldn't have to worry about in the first place [07:40] arvind_khadri: following distrowatch.com - users want the latest/newest [07:40] ubuntu has tons of issues, im just boreed [07:40] so I installed it [07:40] Hello! I'm very new and have a question regarding installing Ubuntu. I have both an on-board graphics card, as well as a PCI-express card, and I am having trouble beginning the installation from CD. [07:40] arvind_khadri: Well, if you have three years of support, why worry about the current releases? [07:41] barana: and what isn't it doing pls - sorry I missed the original post [07:41] Anyone know what I'm supposed to do? [07:41] TooFly: What's the error? [07:41] Ubuntu is great, and getting better all the time, but some core functions are still klunky. [07:41] OzFalcon, under gparted I'm only seeing one drive, not both of them [07:41] I begin the install, and the computer reboots and goes black. [07:41] ere4si, ok we can make the cycle a year and half .... and i really dont think Canonical should care about people who are leaving [07:41] It looks like my monitor is cycling between analog and digital trying to get a signal. [07:41] however, ubuntu is able to recognize both drives and 3 of the 4 partitions [07:41] !ot [07:41] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter.

[07:41] GG2: which do you prefer, GNOME or KDE? [07:41] Ubuntu video recognition sucks [07:41] I am having problems with installing the package 'hal' since I upgraded to hardy. http://paste.ubuntu.com/9406/ [07:42] arvind_khadri: seen the popularity contest app in ubuntu... [07:42] I haven't used KDE [07:42] snowveil, Gparted has a dropdown menu to change the drive you are viewing [07:42] Kubuntu is for KDE people, more windows like in some ways. [07:42] no clue [07:42] * Rabiddog knows os a great script that will get nvidia video working with glx right off the bat [07:42] n2diy, :) no comments [07:42] haha, there it is [07:42] TooFly: Does the CD even start with the selection menu? [07:42] :) [07:42] Kubunto is easier to use? [07:42] snowveil, Is gparted some extra install? [07:42] Question: I just upgrade to 8.04 from 7.10, but when I try to play videos like youtube or myspace the sound doesn't work... how do I fix this? [07:42] looks like the drive in question is still there [07:42] ere4si, yeah i did ,why do we need all that.... [07:42] arvind_khadri: trolling? [07:42] Yes, it does. I select install from the menu. [07:42] /dev/sdb2 [07:43] TooFly: Then what happens? [07:43] I tried "install in safe graphics mode" as well, and it does the same thing. [07:43] does anyone know where the routing table is in Ubuntu ? [07:43] hey um ubuntu studio isnt very good at installing other things eyecandy or games or alot of apps i noticed......sigh [07:43] sorry mate - its not mounting on the desktop- and i go into the fie browser and when i click it a requester bow tell me it cant mount. i also look int the dev/cdrom0 folder and its empty [07:43] depends whether you like gnome or kde GG2 [07:43] I can't find it in /etc/routes [07:43] arvind_khadri: it's a mindset perhaps [07:43] It loads the kernel, and the screen goes black [07:43] norty: make sure you don't have adblock installed [07:43] in firefox [07:43] barana: ? [07:43] n2diy, no not at all do you want me to move to OT [07:43] And stays black :( [07:43] Some people like Kubuntu because is seems more familiar, but it is just a desktop... [07:43] ere4si, perhaps [07:43] is it better to install firefox addons from synaptic or from the browser [07:43] TooFly, I assume it is the Desktop CD you are trying? [07:43] arvind_khadri: sure, give me a sec. [07:43] yes [07:43] TooFly: do u figure it finished loading? [07:43] GG2 : i think that depends on your habit but you can try it if you want to and then decide which one you like [07:44] TooFly, if you can, try the Alternate CD [07:44] n2diy, fine [07:44] yeah it reaches 100% [07:44] Carbonflux: It is in the kernel. Run 'route' in a GNOME terminal. [07:44] where can I get it, and what's the difference? [07:44] Rabiddog, i looked those all plugins, extensions and add-ons in firefox but i dont see adblock... ? [07:44] TooFly: Installer is text-only in alternate CD [07:44] i refuse to use to kde personally, i will only use gnome [07:44] ok then its something else [07:44] Ubuntu / Gnome suits some people more, it's clean and streamlined. [07:44] norty [07:44] hi , when i connect to an unsecured wireless network , i get the following message. authenticated, Associated with AP (machine address), invalid aid value 0 , Rx Assoc rep, AP denied Association.

[07:45] norty, I had issues until I installed non-free flashplayer and removed adblock (this is not the same as adblock plus) [07:45] keegan: It sounds like a MAC address filter. Furthermore it doesn't sound like an ubuntu problem, but more likely a problem with a misconfigured router blocking wireless access. [07:45] ere4si ^ [07:45] well I have noticed that when I am trying to run a java game on hardy it's just a bad of using it like gutsy I may have to reinstall it because I upgraded it [07:45] snowveil: mount [07:45] snowveil: type "mount" in a terminal [07:45] TooFly: hmm [07:45] Is there anything as good as mIRC on linux? this XChat doesn't even come close [07:45] barana: is that with one cd or several? [07:46] DSMatthews: yes i am using DHCP. [07:46] GG2: try pidgin [07:46] Ah, that makes since Rabi, I think I had that problem before. [07:46] patifa: how do i find out if its a MAC address filter [07:46] http://xkcd.com/416/ [07:46] GG2: what do u mean is it lacking? [07:46] Keegan: Do you have admin access on the WiFi router? [07:46] I suspect it is a problem with the fact that I have both an on-board video card and another video card in my PCI-express, which is what my monitor is connected to. [07:46] Carbonflux: Please use the 'route' command for that purpose. See 'man route'. [07:46] hey [07:46] hei juga [07:46] GG2: or try chatzilla with the faces theme [07:46] thank you bullgard4 :) [07:46] GG2 there is other IRC programs for linux just google irc programs for linux [07:46] DSMatthews: no i do not have admin access to the WIFi router. [07:46] I understand [07:47] i hate chatzilla [07:47] !irc [07:47] A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines [07:47] TooFly, to get it, go to the following link and tick the box below the green download link: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download [07:47] TooFly: disable onboard video [07:47] x-chat 4tw [07:47] Rabiddog, what is non-free flash player? [07:47] ere4si: no just one cd its a combo drive - im trying to read the installed cd [07:47] keegan: All I know is that, by the error, the netgear AP is going through the motions to connect you, then deciding it wants to deny you access. Ubuntu's wireless driver responds to the deny message and ends the connection attempt. [07:47] DistroJockey: Thank you [07:47] adobe flash norty [07:47] norty the one that comes direct from adobe flash [07:47] Rabiddog: is this done in BIOS? [07:47] barana: soory - I meant disk not drive [07:47] keegan: did you look at, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=318539 [07:47] TooFly, there may be a workaround you can use if you don't wan't or can't download another 700 odd MB though) [07:47] yes depends on mobo [07:47] adobe only problems rpms now which I think is fedora core. [07:47] *sorry [07:47] well, it appears that sdb2 is the other partition on the drive that ubuntu is installed on [07:47] What would the workaround be? [07:47] *installer [07:48] darkcrab: huh [07:48] Is this a common problem? [07:48] 'non-free' just means it's not open-source, it diesn't mean anyone has to pay money to use it.. [07:48] !adobe [07:48] Factoid adobe not found [07:48] WTF, Why does gparted have option to unmount, But none to mount??? [07:48] yep [07:48] TooFly: Before you attempt that. Could you try hooking your monitor up to the onboard video after the kernel starts to load? [07:48] patifa: seems likely. how can i change my MAC address on ubuntu ? [07:48] TooFly, you're welcome. I always get the Alternate as it supports more install scenarios) [07:48] and my second, 200gb drive, which should be split into two partitions, is only showing up as one large partition in GParted [07:48] well adobe flash is becoming open-sourced [07:48] !wtf | OzFalcon [07:48] OzFalcon: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [07:48] adobe's website, Rabidog, only provides an RPM package now, and you cannot use that on ubuntu [07:48] patifa: good idea, let me try [07:48] so basically we are stuck with flash-nonfree [07:48] darkcrab: idiots.... [07:48] can someone tell me what is wrong with the following script? [07:48] if [ ! -f "calendar" ]; then echo "making"; mkdir "calendar"; else echo "Hi"; fi ; [07:48] could ubuntu have merged the two partitions into one, even though they're not directly related with the installation? [07:48] i'm gonna feel dumb if this works :) [07:48] lol [07:49] ubuntu is not so good as I think [07:49] Keegan: no point changing the MAC if you can't see the list of allowed MAC numbers set onb the WiFi router. [07:49] helai: don't think :P [07:49] helai it all depends on your taste [07:49] TooFly : did you disabled on p your graphic in BIOS [07:49] DSMatthews: i think i know the list of allowed MAC address. [07:49] helai, hmm, define "not so good" [07:49] strange though, because it's a 200gb drive, and the partition that makes up that drive is only listed as 107GB [07:49] sriramoman: you're checking for a file "-f" you want to check for a dir "-d" [07:49] bullgard1, my problem is a I have a device on my internal net I want to get at, its at 192.168.1.1 my router and gateway etc are one 192.168.0.1 and all the computer are 0.x addy, if I change the subnet mask to 255.255.0.0 I can get it the device from my windows machine but not my Ubuntu machine, its weird, it should be working [07:49] I am having problems with installing the package 'hal' since I upgraded to hardy. http://paste.ubuntu.com/9406/ [07:49] so there is definitely still either extra unformatted space on there, or the other partition exists [07:49] yea, I am finding epiphany to be a much more compatible browser in gnome. [07:49] stdin, ok. i shall try. [07:49] Hello, anyone had a problem with 8.04 freezing on boot? [07:49] though I do like the firefox extra features. [07:49] sorry shutdown :P [07:50] Why is the hardy installer telling me / must be at least 2gb, that's insanity [07:50] DSMatthews: since its an unsecured network a promiscous scan will show me MAC addresses of all machines connecting. [07:50] TooFly: I'm suspecting that you still have onboard video enabled. After Ubuntu starts up, it loads up the simplist drivers at first, which is probably starting up your onboard video. Without manually changing back to PCI-e with a different graphics driver, it'll stay using that onboard. However if you disable onboard, the basic driver (vesa) will start up your PCI-e graphics card in VESA mode. [07:50] stdin, what is the common tag for both file and dir? [07:50] of course I also don't think winxp is good [07:50] 2 gb for what knix? [07:50] darkcrab: me too [07:50] darkcrab: my / partition [07:50] snowveil: what does fdisk -l /dev/sdb2 say? [07:50] sriramoman: "-e" (exists) [07:50] heh, this channel is too busy anymore [07:50] It's giving me an error telling me to make it larger [07:50] adobe's site shows tar.gz, rpm and yum packages.. who said they only do rpm?! [07:50] snowveil: sorry fdisk -l /dev/sdb [07:50] patifa: thats why I suggested disabling it in bios [07:50] na, thats not possible knix [07:50] ok [07:50] this is why I migrate to ubuntu [07:50] darkcrab: what's not? [07:50] Keegan: some chip sets will allow MAC change, if the Linux driver for it has that option, it isn't a priority [07:50] OK, I tried connecting my monitor to onboard video after kernel loaded - no dice. I'll fuddle through BIOS and try to disable the onboard video [07:51] zcat[1]_: heh teach me to take darkcrab 's word for it [07:51] "cannot open sdb" [07:51] knix : that is realy minimum [07:51] 2 gib partition? could it be, maybe. [07:51] helai I am a WinXP/Ubuntu user [07:51] snowveil: sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb [07:51] hi, the flash plugin(s) for firefox does not seem to work under ubuntu 8.04? (e.g. CNN website complains) [07:51] I never take anyone's word for anything :) [07:51] DSMatthews: I have an intel pro, [07:51] zvacet: maybe if you make your entire system on / like a fool [07:51] TooFly: If your PCI-e graphics card also has two outputs, try both of them. [07:51] well, I only have ubuntu on here right now [07:51] helai I use linux as an OS to get away from windows for awhile [07:51] zcat[1]_: :D [07:51] yes I also have this two os installed [07:51] I have /usr /var /home /boot /tmp all on their own partitions ... [07:51] knix: it's not so foolish if your drive is small. [07:52] My drive isn't small =( [07:52] keegan: look up the driver docs for it.... [07:52] patifa: Yet another good idea! [07:52] I remember when I first put in a PCI-e card, it defaulted to the DVI output, when all I had was a VGA monitor hooked up to the VGA output. [07:52] Rabiddog, how do i download that flash player, is there an apt-get command or something? [07:52] DSMatthews: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG , can u direct me to some documentation where i can chane the MAC address. [07:52] if adobe made a .deb I wouldn't trust them anyhow... they'd probably try to bundle the yahoo search toolbar for firefox with it :( [07:52] DSMatthews: thanks. [07:52] norty: flash-plugin-nonfree [07:52] Why doesn't gparted have option to mount??? [07:52] patifa: yeah i had a issue with one port not working under linux,,,,,I forget the option I had to enable as a option on the kernel boot to get it to work [07:52] knix: no, but calling someone a fool before you know the details of why they did something can be evidence that your brain is. [07:52] ere4si: r u still there? [07:52] just like thunder,this is easy for me to download stuffs [07:52] sdb is accounted for [07:52] helai heck if I wanted to I could have 3 on my PC [07:52] I'm gonna run it for sda [07:52] barana: [07:52] it works amen, just not well [07:52] hallo .... how to install 7.10 WITHOUT FORMAT? [07:52] norty: flashplugin-nonfree [07:52] knix : CD is ~700MB and after decompressing what so you think how much space will need [07:52] please .. I'm in the middle of it [07:53] norty: actually it may be in ubuntu's non free repository iirc [07:53] TooFly: It'll probably never touch something like an s-video by default, but a VGA/DVI pair it definately could. [07:53] OzFalcon: because it's a partitioning tool, and partitions need to be unmounted to edit them [07:53] Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System [07:53] /dev/sdb1 1 892 7164958+ 83 Linux [07:53] /dev/sdb2 893 9187 66629587+ c W95 FAT32 (LBA) [07:53] /dev/sdb3 9188 9729 4353615 82 Linux swap / Solaris [07:53] bastadr: resize your partitions...

[07:53] darkcrab, used to work fine in 7.04 [07:53] hehe, let's all flood the channel with don't flood trigegrs.. [07:53] zvacet: / is used for almost nothing ... I have a seperate /usr /var /boot /tmp /home ... [07:53] stdin, k [07:53] Rabiddog, it says that i already have it... [07:53] yea, its probably because of firefox 3 or its a new bug [07:54] there is a fix [07:54] then remove the other flashplayers that u have installed [07:54] but I forget the download [07:54] norty: [07:54] barana: I asked if it was with one disk or several...? [07:54] darkcrab, can you watch CNN? [07:54] let me check [07:54] yeah I have DVI/VGA on my monitor. My PCI-e card has DVI and VGA, and my onboard has only VGA. I plugged the DVI from monitor into my PCI-e card, and the VGA from monitor into the onboard. [07:54] bastadr you have to format because linux uses a differentfilesystem than windows or other OS's [07:54] Now I have no video at all :( [07:54] .... [07:54] I at least got the boot menu with VGA in my PCI-e card [07:54] knix :O.K. [07:54] too fly did u disable onboard video? === zcat[1]_ is now known as zcat[1] [07:54] oh, ok, I get it [07:55] TooFly: i think u should use either not both if you have 1 monitor [07:55] keegan: not off the top of me head... sorry... that is the problem I had today, finding relevant and uptodate info for a specific setup. [07:55] TooFly: The VGA doesn't work past the boot menu? [07:55] bastadr you have to format because linux uses a different FileSystem than windows or other OS's [07:55] OK. [07:55] but from time to time,you will stick in the mud of the we site,(ie incompatibility) [07:55] I am having problems with installing the package 'hal' since I upgraded to hardy. http://paste.ubuntu.com/9406/ ... Is this the right place to ask about this problem? [07:55] DSMatthews: its okay. thanks a lot for the help given [07:55] http://paste.ubuntu.com/9410/ [07:55] yes I can watch CNN amen51 [07:56] which plugin did you install [07:56] ere4si: sorry i replied a little while ago i have just one but _it is_ a combo drive [07:56] helai I deal with that constantly because I have an older system at home [07:56] flash-nonfree [07:56] hi all - i installed a network wireless driver via ndis. if i go into it the driver is showing as hardware present but when i click the network settings box all cards are greyed out - is this because networkmanager has control? [07:56] norty did u check for other installed flash players? [07:56] snowveil: are you referring to the swap/solaris partition? [07:56] keegan: google is your friend, if you spend time wading through all the noise [07:56] ok, thanks [07:56] sda is only showing one partition, when it should be two (107gb and roughly 80gb) [07:56] Rabiddog, no.. [07:56] yes,linux system is always good for old hardware [07:56] ere4si: and yeah there is only one disk in it. [07:56] u should only have 1 flashplayer installed at a time, otherwise they conflict [07:56] when opening the 107gb partition in ubuntu's GUI, it shows that it is only 107gb in size, not the full 187 [07:57] mmmiiikkkeee : sudo dpkg --configure -a [07:57] the only thing ubuntu wont detect is my dialup, but frankly oh well [07:57] I doubt I will ever have a need for my dialup === nico_|gone is now known as nico_ [07:57] on my laptop [07:57] barana: I saw that - then said I meant disks not drives - the round shiny things - try another disk and see if it is the same [07:57] hi ... how can I run awn and emerald on startup ? [07:57] however, when running that sudo fdisk command it only lists one parition, being the full size [07:57] helai: you gotta be kidding.. Hardy is slow on machines that still run XP pretty well, it's only light compared to Vista! [07:57] zvacet: I get the same out put with sudo dpkg --configure -a. it still does not install! [07:57] the opensource flashplayer gnash sucks so bad. [07:58] zcat[1]: u gotta be kidding [07:58] flash + firefox :< [07:58] mmmiiikkkeee : sudo apt-get -f install [07:58] my machine was made for xp and hardy runs really fast. [07:58] dark I agree [07:58] I can still run XP in 128M ram, ubuntu is dog slow with that little. [07:58] ... [07:58] in fact, hardy uses less ram on my system than xp did. [07:58] xp with 128mb of ram would be dog slow as well [07:59] why you don't chose xfce instead [07:59] snowveil: try mounting that SFS partition as NTFS [07:59] we never recommended xp with less than 256mb of ram, and that 256 was just for xp [07:59] I'm sorry, my BIOS is confusing me. There is no option for "onboard video" in the menu. There is a PCI/PnP setup menu. I have change the field "Init Display First" from "PCI" to "PCI Express." Is this it? [07:59] ok, you can only run xp in 128 mgs of ram hacked zcat. [07:59] sorry to be so ignorant, but how would I go about doing that? [07:59] because it should be ntfs [07:59] I dunno, perhaps it's just my expectation, I haven't actually run XP for a while but I'm pretty sure it wasn't this slow in 128M [07:59] ere4si: oops sorry yeah tried a few discs dvds too but same issue [07:59] I've just installed xubuntu on my pc, and unfortunately have forgetten the root passwd. [07:59] doesn't sound right, TooFly. What's your Motherboard and/or BIOS maker? [07:59] zcat: its nt ubuntu its gnome [07:59] What can I do? [08:00] desneedy_: there is no root password.. do you mean your user password? [08:00] if you ran xp right now it woudl be super slow in 128m zcat [08:00] trust me [08:00] patifa: ECS (some $50 mobo :() [08:00] zvacet: it gets to " Starting Hardware abstraction layer hald" and hangs and says: " initscript hal, action "start" failed. dpkg: error processing hal (--configure):" [08:00] xp needs 512 minimum [08:00] ubuntu -is- gnome .. if I wanted kde or xfce i'd have said kubuntu or xubuntu [08:00] barana: the drive might be dying - can you try the same disks in another comp? [08:00] unless you nlite it [08:00] zcat[1]: I'm running ubuntu server on an old 233 with 64M. apache, mysql, proftpd. runs well enough. [08:00] desneedy_: boot recovery and select root, then passwd (username) [08:00] TooFly: name some other BIOS options :S [08:01] zcat[1], try running xfce instead of gnome, I was running xfce on machine with 128MB ram and it was bearable... [08:01] running ubuntu 7.10 with 300mb of ram, p3, isn't fast but neither was xp on it [08:01] zcat[1] we know that other wise u would be here if u didn't have gnome [08:01] xfce is sweet [08:01] snowveil: mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /mountpoint [08:01] or even fluxbox [08:01] if you prefer gnome ,of course it is heavy [08:01] TooFly: Do you know anything about your motherboard other than manufactuer?

Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. [08:03] Rabiddog: I am starting to agree. [08:03] and, should I substitute "/mountpoint" with something else?

[08:06] patifa: I'm reading the paper copy, which looks short. Could you link me? [08:06] DistroJockey: here is my dmesg http://paste.ubuntu.com/9411/ [08:06] Rabiddog, yrlnry : no you don't need to re-install grub (changes take affect straight away after reboot) [08:06] !netsplit [08:06] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [08:06] XP, not Vista ... [08:06] http://www.ecs.com.tw/ECSWebSite/Products/ProductsDetail.aspx?detailid=811&DetailName=Manual&MenuID=44&LanID=0 [08:06] yrlnry, you're welcome [08:06] snowveil: you may have to use sudo mkdir /media/sda [08:06] zcat[1]: and up/down arrow for previous command scrolling. [08:06] i connect to my ubuntu server through VPN since connection is established i loose route to internet to everyhting, anybody can help in soloving such prob [08:06] TooFly: Either that or I'm downloading a bunch of pictures in a PDF, won't know till I finish since the thing is zipped. [08:06] jasonbx: Right click the file and get to Open with Different Application or somethin' like that. then browse to your app [08:06] yup, figured that one out :) [08:06] zcat[1]: yea, in xp. [08:06] flemnos: but not between sessions .. [08:06] DistroJockey: ah thats right, been a long time since I played with grub directly [08:06] k, time to see if anything changed I guess [08:06] Viper111: you might want to check your route? only route the subnet you need to get to through VPN through the interface. [08:06] zvacet: I have tryed to do sudo apt-get install --reinstall hal before and that does not work either. [08:06] patifa: gotcha [08:07] zcat[1]: true. [08:07] i do love xp for so many reasons, but one thing that annoys me is that every time you install something you get a new startup item. [08:07] snowveil: you'll get the hang of it :-D [08:07] and you have to keep that startup item for your new program to work [08:07] Is their somethign wrong with my system or has Hardy received no updates at all yet? [08:07] ere4si: im a ubuntu noob how do i envoke nautilus to check it? [08:07] ok back to topic [08:07] it is the interesting point of xp [08:07] TooFly: Only 50 KB/sec for a 23 MB document, and I know I can pull more than 50 KB/sec. [08:07] LSD|Ninja: no updates as far as i know [08:07] what do you mean barana [08:07] zcat[1] I have a p3 1Ghz with 512MB and XP/Ubuntu run just fine [08:07] barana: open your /home folder and see if the cd is listed in the right pane [08:07] patifa: Bad mobo = bad company = bad server :) [08:07] mmmiiikkkeee, seems to be having an issue with your network card driver [08:08] LSD|Ninja: No, there were no updates yet. [08:08] Rabiddog, :) [08:08] mmmiiikkkeee : that is all I can think of,sorry [08:08] Something on my system is causing disk seeking once per second. The noise is bugging me. How can I track down what it is? [08:08] * Rabiddog growls at ubuntu kernel and dmraid [08:08] Shadow420: yeah, the ram makes all the difference [08:08] tech0007: mounting it as NTFS appears to only duplicate what is already mounted as SFS [08:08] whats up [08:08] yrlnry: top [08:08] Ah, OK. Was getting a bit woried there :P [08:08] i have 1.26 gb of ram [08:08] Rabiddog: I remember the user passwd, just forgot the root passwd [08:08] n2diy: I already stared at top; it didn't help. [08:08] hi all -... someone could tell me how to start awn on login ? [08:09] n2diy: Unless top has a sort-by-disk-activity option or something. [08:09] yrlnry: disk seeking /? [08:09] snowveil: so its already mount before you did sudo mount -t nfs? [08:09] zcat[1] plus the amount of the graphics card onboard memory [08:09] I'm sorry, someone linked me to the Alternate (non-graphic) installation of Ubuntu, but I lost the link. Could I get it again? [08:09] yes [08:09] barana: sorry - left pane... [08:09] but on sda [08:09] ah my graphics card sucks [08:09] there should be another partition [08:09] thats the only thing about this sytsem that really bugs me [08:09] babolat: I can hear the disk head moving, and the disk activity LED is blinking once per second. [08:09] http://releases.ubuntu.com/releases/8.04/ <-- It's on that page, TooFly. [08:09] !alternate | TooFly [08:09] snowveil: so which partition is missing? [08:09] TooFly: 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 - Torrent at http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ubuntu-8.04-alternate-i386.iso.torrent [08:09] !log | Toofly [08:09] Toofly: Official channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ - For LoCo channels, http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/ [08:09] the drive is 200gb (well, 188 or so really), and the only visible partition is 108GB of that [08:09] desneedy_, if you can use sudo you can do sudo passwd root to change the root password [08:09] mmmiiikkkeee, doesn't look like a very happy dmesg at all :( [08:09] thank you [08:09] hi.. im frustrated can someone help me.. i had to reinstall ubunto on my macbook pro and now i cant found the site with the instructions to install the wireless! [08:10] yrlnry: where are you? It could be fdisk running around 4am? [08:10] someone help me out here before [08:10] !wireless | gin-san [08:10] gin-san: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [08:10] is it possible to install ubuntu leaving /home intact ? [08:10] ere4si: yeah its listed there as cd-rom 1 [08:10] !wireless | gina_ [08:10] gina_: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [08:10] @join #ubuntu-np [08:10] bokey: Error: You don't have the admin capability. If you think that you should have this capability, be sure that you are identified before trying again. The 'whoami' command can tell you if you're identified. [08:10] DistroJockey: should i remove the network card and try to install hal again? [08:10] TooFly, http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download [08:10] ubottu: >_< [08:10] snowveil: from the looks of it, it seems you did not make full use of sda when you did th emanul aprtitioning [08:10] gina_: when I get frustrated I take a long break and go out and party :) [08:10] yrlnry: check your SysMon if there are processes that's trying to access that HD [08:10] n2diy: Could be something like that. I'll see if it continues tomorrow. [08:10] barana: you have a drive that won't read then... [08:10] HermanChess, if you have separate partition for it [08:10] is there a way to remedy that? [08:10] gina_: there's an Intel Mac page on the wiki [08:10] ere4si: but when i try to open it tells me it can mount selected volume [08:10] barana: it's hardware not ubuntu [08:11] brb [08:11] the partitions were already established before I installed ubuntu [08:11] snowveil: you can repartition if you dont have any data on sda [08:11] gina, administration>hardware drivers [08:11] mmmiiikkkeee, try to install linux-ubuntu-modules [08:11] ok [08:11] im checking this website but [08:11] gina_: I take it that since you have a problem the new madwifi isn't in 8.04? [08:11] ere4si: sorry canT mount volume [08:11] someone sent me another one [08:11] I have about 70GB on sda, plus the other 100 or so that's visible :-/ [08:11] very easy to install! [08:11] for the macbook pro! [08:11] i dont remember the name of the site :( [08:11] i keep forgetting these new macbooks are intel [08:11] barana: 'cause it can't read the cd 'cause it's broken [08:12] snowveil: not sure, but did you ask if you can use all 200G of that hard drive [08:12] ? [08:12] kane77: I thought it was going to be a new feature .... ah well [08:12] that site rules!!! [08:12] darkcrab: i know.. aint that weird [08:12] and help me install my wireless very easy :() [08:12] but well [08:12] it totally is man [08:12] babolat: I don't see anything relevant in SysMon. [08:12] i will search more [08:12] adam7: thanks, I changed the root passwd with sudo. Great. [08:12] ere4si: so even if xp on another partition when booted on the same machine reads ? [08:12] not that I recall, tech0007 === roxahris is now known as roxandAWAY [08:12] gina_: yeah, 7.10 went onto my MacBook without too much hassle. Having to compile madwifi to get the wireless going though... forget it. Ubuntu was removed shortly after that :) [08:13] so if the routing tables are in the kernel how does it know how to restore them after a reboot ? [08:13] mmmiiikkkeee, check out those launchpad bugs I listed for possible fixes [08:13] they must be in a file [08:13] DistroJockey: is said: "linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-16-generic is already the newest version" I guess it is already installed? [08:13] !away > roxandAWAY [08:13] i dont get it ninja [08:13] snowveil: ok, coz 200G-188G=12G seems a lot [08:13] xubuntu seems to slow on my 256m ram laptop. [08:14] lsd|ninja: if you dont mind me asking what was it about linux that tore you away from mac osx - i can understand windows but would have thought os x very good? [08:14] barana: you've tried lately? [08:14] Is there any way to speed it up? [08:14] patifa: I finished downloading the manual - perhaps you'll see the genius that is ECS's BIOS setup. [08:14] mmmiiikkkeee, sounds like it, yeah. Maybe a re-install of those. (but not sure that will work or help) [08:14] Gparted shows 185.17 used out of 186.31GB in one single partition [08:14] I swear there is no on-board VGA option. [08:14] how would I determine what brand of touchpad I have? For some reason it has become really sensitive, and the turning off "enable mouse clicks with the touchpad" in the mouse configuration app is not working [08:14] mmmiiikkkeee, I'm assuming you upgraded? [08:14] however, the GUI in ubuntu shows the mounted /sda as only having a total capacity of 107GB [08:14] snowveil: gparted would should unused or unparitioned space [08:15] hum [08:15] TooFly: gigabyte has a key combo that enables advanced features, although I doubt ECS does that [08:15] DistroJockey: yes I upgraded [08:15] ere4si: definately [08:15] mmmiiikkkeee, *nods* [08:15] gina_ : are you looking for this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro [08:15] nickthorley: I only installed Ubuntu on it for S&G. If the wireless had worked OOB I may have left it there a little longer but I wasn't prepared to put the kind of effort that was required into getting it working for somethign I was never going to really use [08:15] mmmiiikkkeee, seen lots of upgrades go bad unfortunately [08:15] hello [08:15] I havea VDS. If I install Ubutu-Desktop or Kubuntu or Xubuntu, and many people connect to it via Nomachine NX or something. Will they all see the same desktop or different ones? [08:16] ok, how should I split my hdd when installing ubuntu? I got a 60 GB [08:16] TooFly: indeed [08:16] barana: ok - one min [08:16] DistroJockey: you think a fresh install might fix it? [08:16] i connect to my ubuntu server through VPN since connection is established i loose route to internet to everyhting, anybody can help in soloving such prob [08:16] Time to try the alternate installation? [08:16] helo [08:16] TooFly: It stinks. PCI / PnP Setup might be it, but it's also clear this was all translated, so who knows how accurate the translation was. [08:16] mmmiiikkkeee, 90% sure :) [08:16] ere4si: its the ubuntu install cd i used to re-install on sda2 this morning [08:16] xintron: my take wud be gparted [08:16] Ok, I'll give it a shot. [08:16] lsd|ninja: no thats fair enough - suppose you could use a vm anyway - what do you do for a living are you a designer hence a mac or just prefer the hardware and os [08:17] babolat: How big for home and how big for the rest? [08:17] Do you know what "Allocate IRQ to PCI VGA" means? [08:17] barana: can you paste the /etc/fstab file ? [08:17] or what is IRQ? [08:17] !grub [08:17] grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager.

[08:18] heh heh... [08:18] sighs [08:18] Does anyone else had the big font problem with Firefox 3? [08:18] has* [08:18] TooFly: Uhh. I do, but it's not something I can explain in any level of simple terms. The trick is that that options may also fully disable the onboard graphics. [08:18] How big should the partitions be when installing ubuntu on a 60 GB? [08:18] tijn: ctrl -? [08:18] DistroJockey: only problem is i don't have a cd-burner. :( [08:18] I see [08:18] Rabiddog, no, that not it [08:18] TooFly: Or it'll just make it really, really slow.

Just look up the install guide online, now, if you want. [08:25] mmmiiikkkeee, ignore my command, go with zvacet's :) [08:25] qwiksand: we were trying to tell the channel bot to help u where to go [08:25] patifa: fantastic, thanks for your help (and patience!)

[08:28] Hello , I have installed latest driver and ubuntu 8.04 . I would like to switch powerstate automatic when change the power source battery or AC. I was configured /etc/default/fglrx file in the past on my 7.10 and previous driver version. But that file is not exist any more. Do you have any idea to do that? [08:28] stdin: if all applications run fine of all desktops, then what are these different desktops for? [08:28] hi can someone help me? [08:28] bullgard1, use find and find out :) find ~ -iname "*tracker*" -type d [08:28] HitMan: taste? choice really.. [08:28] HitMan: different preferences [08:28] HitMan: different style/behavior [08:28] So which desktop is the best? [08:28] !best [08:28] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots.

[08:30] TooFly: depends on your ram, disk space and how you use the system [08:30] HitMan: Though it's GNOME/KDE as the really popular ones. xfce is almost a special case for being really lightweight and fast (and thus running on older hardware better) [08:30] * DistroJockey didn't expect the bot to say "see above" :) [08:30] patifa: Thats useful [08:30] hello i need to edit.. /etc/default/acpi-support [08:30] how can i go there? [08:30] HELLO? [08:30] gina_: sudo vi /etc/default/apci-support [08:30] i type that on terminal but didnt work [08:30] I have 2gb ram, ~400gb disk space, and I won't be using the system for anything TOO intense.. a few scripts here and there [08:30] figmentj1324: hello [08:30] ok thanks [08:31] ballpark amount? [08:31] gina_: what did i say [08:31] cool [08:31] TooFly: in general you won't need more that 1GB, but if you want to be able to hibernate you need ~1.5-2*RAM [08:31] !ask | figmentj1324 [08:31] ikonia [08:31] figmentj1324: 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. :-) [08:31] I already have Ubuntu Server, how do i get ubuntu desktop? [08:31] TooFly: is it a laptop ? [08:31] gina: it's much easier using gedit - instead of sudo vi ..... do "sudo gedit ......" [08:31] TooFly: do you use suspend ? [08:31] TooFly: with 2GB you don't need an awful lot of swap space unless you plan on using hibernate [08:31] gftp is installed but it doesnt support ssl connections how can i activate this? [08:31] HitMan: install "ubuntu-desktop" [08:31] ikonia: No, desktop. I don't usually hibernate - just leave it idle sometimes.

[09:04] gogeta: it looks like linux has it set "on" though, if this laptop has a problem, I thought it sensibelt to force it on at a hardware level [09:04] hey, quick question, does anyone know where I could see the source for various basic linux commands like who or ls? [09:04] blame, yes, wait a second [09:04] My Ubuntu installation is still stuck at 82% (Configuring apt, scanning the mirror). It seems this is a common problem, but I can't find a solution? [09:05] good morning [09:05] thecarp: they are just gnu tools, things like "binutils" as a package or "fileutils" [09:05] ikonia thats noramly a acpi issue with fans letting the bios set it as always on will work around it [09:05] I have several old kernels and I want to remove all but the last two. I can see them in synaptic. Do I remove them there and do i want to do a complete removal or just the remove option? [09:05] TooFly: i think you need to drop to cli and nuke a task [09:05] thecarp: http://www.gnu.org [09:05] gogeta: yes, sounds reasonable [09:05] thank you very much [09:05] DistroJockey: temperature: 60 C - ouch,,,, [09:05] Smegzor: your call [09:05] ActionParsnip: Sorry, I am new to this - could you explain "drop to cli"? [09:05] carlF1: where do u have such temperatures?

Just tell me what will be the disadvantage to using sudo apt-get to install Uuntu-Desktop [09:07] bazhang: So the installation will time out, and then continue on its own? [09:07] will my install ever finish? it has been sitting at 94% configuring hardware for 30 minutes now..? [09:08] HitMan: in your senario, it doesn't matter as a.) your using virtual kit b.) your locked into the server os [09:08] TooFly: the configuring apt will and then continue [09:08] Jack3: No it wont [09:08] blame, http://pastie.caboo.se/190379 replace wlan0 with interface that has internet, and eth0 with interface that you want to have internet... [09:08] DistroJockey: "built on asus" - installed ubuntu about 2 years ago, havn't really kept it up to date [09:08] bazhang: Ballpark time on how long this will take? [09:08] ikonia: I am not locked. I can use sudo apt-get to get desktop [09:08] HitMan: yes, but thats still the server os [09:08] ikonia: so? [09:08] CarlF1, and your fan has been like that for 2 years?! [09:09] TooFly: hard to say; maybe go make a cup of hot chocolate [09:09] HitMan: so thats why I'm saying it doesn't apply in your senario, your locked into the server OS [09:09] Haha, alright. [09:09] blame, and you will also need to do this as a root: echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward [09:09] Hello [09:09] omnz0r, are you serious? [09:09] CarlF1, not that 60c is critical [09:09] thanks kane77 I'll try and let you know what happened. [09:09] ikonia: I am not. I can use sudo apt-get. then startx. then install NX server./ then use NX client to access it [09:09] Jack3: what is it doing? installing grub part been reached yet? [09:09] Jack3: Normally it takes about 30 mins to do the entire install, so it sound like it froze [09:09] HitMan: yes thats the Server OS - you can't change the core os [09:10] Nautilus lists a type for every filename it displays. Where can I find a list of the elements of the set of types that are available in this Nautilus column? [09:10] ikonia: just tell me the differnce betwenn CD install and apt-get install I will face? [09:10] DistroJockey: i think it got worse - todays thought is that the thermo broke, and it dosn't think it is hot enough for the fan - but 60 should have turned it on i would think [09:10] HitMan: there isn't any [09:10] mouse still works and such and cd is still spinnging but nothing seems to be working [09:10] DistroJockey: i think the fan broke [09:10] HitMan: it's the same package [09:10] CarlF1, possible [09:10] ikonia: so I WILL see the desltop if I use apt-get? [09:10] blame, actually you can append that last line I written (echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward) into that script and run it all as root... [09:10] Jack3: try burn a new cd or something [09:10] I upgraded from gusty to hardy but mysound is not working. I have a gigabyte motherboard with a realtek alc889A sound. How can I make it? [09:10] bazhang, im not sure, but i do know i chose XFS for my root and it said GRUB might not work but didnt give an option for lilo [09:10] it sounds weird [09:10] CarlF1 disable acpi let your bios handel it they should run at 100% [09:10] HitMan: no - you will get A desktop on the server OS, not the desktop OS install [09:11] CarlF1, if sothing changed software wise, then it is highly likely the fan has failed [09:11] nothing^ [09:11] ikonia: I ill se the desktop. do everything that can be done on a desktop? [09:11] I do not find any sound support in the kernel [09:11] DistroJockey sudden failers are to rare [09:11] Jack3: any particular reason to choose xfs instead of ext3? was it for the speed? :) [09:11] HitMan: most things, but as your using virtual hardware it won't call you issues [09:11] DistroJockey it woulda been making alot of noise befor hand [09:12] gogeta, with a fan in a 2 year old laptop? [09:12] DistroJockey yep [09:12] gogeta, maybe, maybe not [09:12] bazhang, yes ;) but you dont think that is why this is hpapening? [09:12] ikonia: but it WILL run firefox and bittorrent? [09:12] HitMan: yes [09:12] ikonia: thats all I want from it [09:12] HitMan: you'll be fine [09:12] gogeta, alot of dust could just slow it to a crawl then stop it [09:12] ikonie: you worried me for nothing in particualr [09:12] greetings everyone! I managed to start re-installing kubuntu after messing it up by trying to install 7.10 but at around 82%, the install actually froze. I restarted the PC and now it looks like part of kubuntu installed. My question is this: can I "update" kubuntu to just install whatever didn't get to finish installing? [09:12] DistroJockey that woulda straned the abring making noise [09:13] Jack3: possible though difficult to say without trying ext3 and another burned disk with the md5sum matched against the iso file [09:13] Question: I've just upgraded from ubuntu 7.10 to 8.01 and when i put my mouse over the text box in google the outline disappears, is there a fix for this? [09:13] i have the iso, how do i check md5sum?

[09:14] bazhang, i acutlaly did something stupid that may have caused it, half way thru the download in firefox, i accidently clicked paused and then resumed the download, maybe that messed it up? [09:14] gogeta, that's good. Just saying it's possible and can be gradual [09:14] bazhang: ban the host instead of nicks [09:14] DistroJockey not that a fans expensiv to replace anyways [09:14] zibcom, why did i need to know the oplist?

[09:15] lol [09:15] heh [09:15] DistroJockeyi own a amd this thing eats fans [09:16] Hi... i've tried to move to FF2 on Hardy (FF3 is very unstable), but not sure how to do it properly. Is there any guide to doing this? [09:16] blame, what does "sudo iptables -L" tell you? and waht about "cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward" ? [09:17] chazco: have you the java plugin working ? [09:17] napnap_: are you using a 32bit OS [09:17] ikonia: no, a 64 os [09:17] how do i open an mp3 player from terminate? [09:17] sudo apt get remove firefox3.0 [09:17] napnap_ - No idea... it just crashes when i try to enter a URL, scroll a page... close FF3... [09:17] jack3 that is unlikely [09:17] napnap_: the java plugin is a real effort with 64bit [09:17] napnap_: what class is failing ? [09:17] sudo apt get install firefox2.0 [09:17] maek - Tried that approach, caused issues with some other stuff [09:18] maek, that would be sudo apt-get install firefox-2 [09:18] kane77: It worked!!! I just re-executed the script you recommended and it actually worked. Thank you so much! [09:18] ikonia: all...specific class of the applet, not inner java class (the first attempt) [09:18] May move back to Gusty for now, seemed to be generally more stable [09:18] Hello everybody. I found a nice laptop, will it work with Ubuntu? here are the specs: http://www.azerty.nl/producten/product_detail/?ID=35389&GROEP_ID=156&TAB=specificaties [09:18] blame, no problem ;) [09:19] they say that you should wait a month after the release to update because of bugs [09:19] how do i add apps to the quck launch thing? the one which starts off with firefox evolution [09:19] napnap_: can you just use the jvm to do say -version [09:19] arelis: i see no problem why shouldnt work [09:19] Also having the font issue on Hardy, but only on one PC (identical installs) [09:19] napnap_: sounds like it's not got all the 32bit stuff it wants [09:19] not like vista, u have to wait 2 years until it will be almost as good as xp [09:19] milos_: i installed gnome-bluetooth and gnome-vfs-obexftp to connect my N95 in gutsy. i also had to set the gnome-obex-server to autostart [09:19] Arelis_, although i recommend you research what you buy a fair but, that laptop should have no problem running ubuntu [09:19] ikonia: Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_06-b02) [09:19] how do i open an mp3 player from terminate? [09:20] napnap_: can you build a hello world class ? [09:20] manifest_: it's usually in the /media folder [09:20] manifest_ : try type player name [09:20] ikonia: I will try... a moment. [09:20] napnap_: apologies this is overkill [09:21] manifest_: wait, are you referring to the software or a USB hardware? [09:21] kane77: slight problem. Routing at some poing seem work, though the DNS look ups are failing. Skype connected (which uses direct IP) but it cannot resolve domain names on the target computer. Where do I dig up? [09:21] bazhang, my iso passed md5sum [09:21] magnetron: software [09:22] Jack3: now try burning at a lower speed if possible then run diskcheck when you boot up [09:22] blame, do you have the dns set up on the second computer? [09:22] Hello everybody. I found a nice laptop, will it work with Ubuntu? here are the specs: http://www.azerty.nl/producten/product_detail/?ID=35389&GROEP_ID=156&TAB=specificaties [09:22] manifest_: you cans start a graphical mp3 player from terminal. is this what you want? [09:22] ikonia: I don't javac , I only the jre for the moment [09:22] napnap_: ah [09:22] Arelis_ i probly can find better [09:23] yes, a program that plays mp3-format sounds [09:23] :P [09:23] magnetron: i am always starting gnome-obex-server manualy. Is there any difference, I mean it should be the same. I also have gnome-bluetooth and gnome-vfs-obexftp installed [09:23] Arelis_ thats pretty sad [09:23] kane77: I am using static routing, did not install dhcpd and on the target box (XP) the DNS is set to be the ubunut's gateway (192.168.0.1), should I try and place the my ISP's NS on the target box? [09:24] hi all [09:24] milos_: i just find it more convenient. did you repair the phone after you installed hardy? [09:24] freevo is broken in hardy [09:24] !broken | jmg [09:24] Factoid broken not found [09:24] :( [09:24] blame, yes I'm having that set up and am using ISP's dns on the second box [09:24] jmg: ok, would you please consider filing a bug at launchpad? [09:25] magnetron: not until i can fix it [09:25] 大家好！ [09:25] Any1 here having wow on wine working in the 8.04 ? [09:25] I have problem with file rights. I have game under in home folder, how i do that other users can play it. [09:25] jmg: filing the bug will give some publicity to the problem and speed up the process of fixing it [09:26] Hejknarneeeeee: Works well here. PulseAudio with it is nice, finally have music, game sounds and voice chat [09:26] also launchpad is too slow to report any bugs today [09:26] magnetron: doubt it [09:26] bazhang, right now im checking the cd with defects, that shoudl tell right? [09:26] zionpsyfer, do you have an ati card ? [09:26] magnetron: no, i didn't chage nothing on the phone. I did a upgrade from Gutsy, maybe upgrade have make some problems, i will try now to put gnome-obex-server in Sessions [09:26] Hejknarneeeeee: Nay, I have a geforce [09:27] Jack3: sorry ; yes that would be a good idea [09:27] jmg: launchpad is also an effective way on getting YOUR fix into ubuntu fast [09:27] kane77: as expected ISP DNSs worked on target box. Last question, do I need to execute the iptable script everytime I boot ot is it permanent? [09:27] Jack3 : if Cd is good go for install [09:27] zionpsyfer, does your minimap work ? [09:27] !cn | mymines [09:27] mymines: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [09:28] Hejknarneeeeee: Indeed. I haven't run into any weird issues yet besides my mouse feeling very very slightly sluggish [09:28] milos_: the pairing needs to be ok on both sides, check if your phone is in the list: right click the B in the notification area and see if gnome knows about it [09:28] zvacet, i did already but it just sat at configuring hardware 94% for like 40minutes lol [09:28] zvacet: this is round 2 :) [09:28] bazhang, it passed with no defects :( [09:28] zionpsyfer: ok, all my ingame text gets bugged when i switch between outdoor and indoor areas [09:29] Jack3: dont feel bad; one user in here took 34 times before it worked [09:29] zionpsyfer: when i have the minimap enabled [09:29] haha ouch [09:29] Hejknarneeeeee: lame. =( Maybe a firegl bug? [09:29] <^root^> hi! can anyone tell me in which my panel related information is stored? e.g. which applets were placed on the panels, what was the size and etc [09:30] <^root^> A music messaging session has been requested.

[09:30] well i'll try to solve it [09:30] phoenix180: that does not sound good-->best go for a fresh install [09:30] Hejknarneeeeee: are you running wow in opengl mode? [09:30] manifest_ : from synaptic [09:30] ikonia: I installed the jdk, compiled the class, then java test said me "Hello World", so it works [09:30] my setup right nnow has 3 ide hard drives + floppy (2 of the hdds of fujitsus 3gb and 1 is a maxtor 9gb. im installing xfs on the 9gb and swap on one of the fujitsus) [09:30] Hello. I just installed ubuntu 8.04 and it doesn't detect my graphics adapter at all. I am using intel g33 chipset with integrated intel X3100 video. The xorg.conf file is almost empty, nothing specific about my adapter or monitor. And my screen resolution is wrong and i cant set it up to say 1280x1024 [09:31] darnit!! that's what I feared..thanks bazhang [09:31] haha [09:31] i just removed the USB pinheaders that go to the front of the case cause i dont think i put them on correctly anyways [09:31] Hejknarneeeeee: Yep, opengl with latest winehq deb. [09:31] phoenix180: perhaps technically possible but know way of telling how long it would hold or what was damaged [09:31] Hejknarneeeeee: You running opengl? [09:31] anAngel: the drivers of that card are no good. ubuntu knows about your card but there's unfortunately not much to do [09:31] magnetron: i have the opengl setting activated in the config.wtf file [09:32] mymines: /j #ubuntu-cn thanks [09:32] yea I am going to attempt to install it once more before sleeping. I have been fighting with it all night [09:32] <^root^> anyone? [09:32] and i installed wine yesterday from scratch [09:32] thank you! [09:32] Hejknarneeeeee: the official wine/wow guide is on wowwiki, try the troubleshooting solutions in there [09:32] Gah, I know it's getting time for bed when I start mixing up peoples messages and mistaking them as meant for me. [09:32] Looks like rythmbox removed close to tray support back in version 0.96... anyone know how to get that back? [09:32] manifest_ : did you try run man mplayer to see options [09:33] blame, the way I do it is that I run it each time I boot (just save it as script somewhere and put it in rc.local) but there should be something to save your iptables and then restore them, but I'm not quite sure [09:33] bazhang, the cd boots into live mode fine, should i look at anything in there before trying to install again? [09:33] magnetron: so can i do something about the resolution at least. is there any other configuration utility? i tried dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg but nothing changed [09:33] jack3 if grub is warning about xfs, then why not go for ext3? the speed gain will not be *that* great imo [09:34] can i use resier instead? [09:34] anAngel: are you confusing me with someone else? [09:34] sure jack3 should do, but really ext3 is the best one out there === arcsky_ is now known as arcsky [09:35] hi [09:35] haha... nevermind. To get it to close to tray you just click the tray icon. Very clever. [09:35] hello jetyang [09:35] hello [09:35] i am a freshman [09:35] magnetron: well you replied on my first post right [09:35] anAngel, if you're so inclined, you could try writing your own xorg.conf to force the resolution [09:36] jetyang : nevermind [09:36] jetyang this is ubuntu support channel do you have an ubuntu support question?

Pretty blank i guess. http://paste.ubuntu.com/9418/ [09:41] Hi everybody [09:42] I need some help in LIRC configuration [09:42] anAngel, that's not looking too good [09:42] how to migre gutsy in hardy please [09:42] I configured my remote control using this tutorial: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=635355 === Arelis_ is now known as Arelis [09:42] Jack3: here's another good one: http://linuxgazette.net/102/piszcz.html [09:42] update to ubuntu 8.04，and "get apt-get update",buthave no "" [09:42] vmware [09:42] server [09:42] Jack3: ech, hard drive crashes always suck. [09:42] thx [09:42] hooer: The first is a time-stamp. Then it follows the desire that you should update your 'sd' driver. [09:43] re [09:43] hey anyone in hardy is there anyway to know what ports I have open without just port scanning myself? [09:43] ArthurArchnix, you could try pavucontrol [09:43] yeh the latter was what i was not sure about [09:43] the configuration was successful, but the problem is that everytime when I boot ubuntu the DRIVER device changes from /dev/input/event7 to /dev/input/event4 and viceversa [09:43] and my remote control is no more detected correctly [09:43] mymines: don't believe vmware-server runs on as new a kernel as hardy has yet. [09:43] what can I do? [09:43] update to ubuntu 8.04，and "get apt-get update",but have no "vmware server",why?please help. [09:44] ive seen an article explaining how to get vm-ware server to work on hardy [09:44] Heston: that's why i am asking ;( [09:44] mymines see the answer above [09:44] mymines: have you considered trying virtualbox instead? [09:45] mymines, package names don't have spaces in their names [09:45] hj === nico_|gone is now known as nico_ [09:45] VBOX is nice,but i like vmware better [09:45] mymines, may be off track there, sorry if I was [09:46] guys... i've just compiled and linked a c program... how do i run it? the filename is a.out... please help [09:46] i use vmware at work so it's nice to be able to use it :p [09:46] gharz: ./a.out [09:46] gharz, ./a.out [09:46] which is better, vmware server or workstation ? (not including cost) , and my previous question is there a way to know what ports you have open without actually port scanning yourself? [09:46] hanAngel, although this is unlikely to work without proper detection of your hardware, this may be worth a shot ttp://paste.ubuntu.com/9420/ [09:46] thanks!!!!!! [09:47] I'm lagging :) [09:47] they're both useful (workstation and server) [09:47] Heston: ok i will try it [09:47] Heston: thanks [09:49] Anybody tried these http://intellinuxgraphics.org drivers for intel x3100 on intel g33 chipset on ubuntu 8.04 [09:51] how do you search using the command tool apt-get like you can using the gui front end synaptic manager? [09:51] can I make ubuntu panel narrower then the whole screen wide (like in KDE)? [09:52] j [09:52] someone know how to substitute emerald to metacity on startup ? [09:52] omg911: apt-get search pattern [09:52] i mean search for packages with partial match [09:52] godlygeek: E: Invalid operation search [09:52] omg911: oops, i meant: apt-cache search pattern [09:53] godlygeek: thx that works i think [09:53] Nautilus lists a type for every filename it displays. Where can I find a list of the elements of the set of types that are available in this Nautilus column? [09:53] omg911: it's a regex search, see man apt-cache [09:54] can I make ubuntu panel narrower then the whole screen wide (like in KDE)? [09:54] bullgard1, maybe /etc/gnome/defaults.list ? [09:55] so i have an mdadm raid question.. [09:55] bullgard1, may be not what you wanted [09:55] i downloaded a software package named gmlive-0.20b3 [09:55] how to install it in a shell? [09:56] gmlive-0.20b3.tar.gz [09:56] zm, did you read the readme? [09:56] i replaced a failed drive in my raid1 array. it's fine but when i went to test it by unplugging the original drive and trying to boot just from the new one it ddint work [09:56] it got to a certain point then dropped me to initfs [09:57] yes I did, but it shows nothing [09:57] martint: right click on panel select properties then look at pixels should do it [09:57] the readme is empty [09:57] THANKS! [09:57] zm, all good packages should have a decent readme [09:57] zm, any other readme type files? [09:57] I cant get vmware or vbox to work in Hardy :( [09:58] hi all [09:58] I meant not hight but with, does it still work the same? [09:58] I am using 8.04 does anyone have any idea why I can't get at 192.168.1.1 from 8.04 but I can from a windows box after setting my netmask to 255.255.0.0? [09:58] no, but there is a INSTALL file [09:58] martint: you want to have the retractor feature? or something else in mind [09:59] the Installation Instructions [09:59] Carbon, have you set default gateway? [09:59] i wanna create a lancher for choosing if closing or rebooting my computer ... how can i do? [09:59] in KDE I can tell the pane;\taskbar to use only 75% of screen wigth, for example [09:59] zm, well, if you trust it, you could use ./INSTALL from the directory you extracted to (assuming INSTALL is the name of the file) [09:59] hooer, its a second router that I just want to get into the website on, I already have a working net on 192.168.0.x [10:00] martint: width is all I know at this point; just started using gnome again since forever--will google for karma though :) [10:00] yes let me try it === nico_ is now known as nico_|gone [10:00] arp can see the other router [10:01] zm@zm-laptop:~/gmlive-0.20b3$ ./INSTALL [10:01] bash: ./INSTALL: Permission denied [10:01] ok i am running firestarter and have it set to minimize to the sys tray and after a bit it disappears any ideas? [10:01] but thats it, can't ping it or web-browse to it [10:01] it couldn't [10:01] Good though :) [10:01] zm, you may also need to chmod +x INSTALL (INSTALL being the file you are trying to run) [10:02] its something about how linux is dealing with subnet masks but I don't know enough to ask the right question [10:02] does the route table shed any info? [10:02] not really [10:03] Hasone, update must be up to about 90% now eh? [10:03] if I set the gateway to the second router I can get at it just fine [10:03] weird [10:03] which is silly really [10:03] ya, its this specific linux box [10:03] all the other computers can get at both routers [10:04] and then? [10:04] I was using DHCP [10:04] zm, try the ./INSTALL again [10:04] I am confused by whats wrong, it should work [10:05] thanks for thinking about it hooer :) [10:05] ikonia: I just thought, changing nicks to _away, and then back, is no less channel noise than logging on / off [10:05] np... so why do you want a 16 bit subnet mask? [10:05] ikonia: I have #ubuntu on my auto-join now, so every time I fire up xchat I'll create at least 2 messages... [10:06] zm@zm-laptop:~/gmlive-0.20b3$ ./INSTALL [10:06] ./INSTALL: line 1: Installation：找不到命令 [10:06] ./INSTALL: line 2: aclocal.m4：找不到命令 [10:06] ./INSTALL: line 4: 在未预料的“C”附近出现语法错误 [10:06] ./INSTALL: line 4: `Copyright (C) 1994, 1995, 1996, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2004, 2005,' [10:06] zm: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:06] i've downloaded kopete,but still can't run it though i've download it's libraries,why's that? [10:06] hooer, until I set the subnet mask for the local lan to 255.255.0.0 I could not get at any 1.1 addys, only 0.1, my WAN mask is still 255.255.255.0 [10:07] should route between .0.0 and .1.0 [10:07] zm, well, I guess it runs. Can't help further sorry. Don't know the program or the language. [10:07] well, in windows I had to change to subnet mask to get it to use both the 0.1 and 1.1 subnets [10:07] Totem Movie Player question: When using the firefox-plugin, and, say, listening to audio, there is a rewind/fast forward bar at the bottom that I've never seen work, inside the browser. You can pause, so I'm assuming that means it is being cached. Why can't you rewind/fast forward: is this a bug or just only a part of a feature that has yet to be implemented? [10:07] it means bash: ./INSTALL: No such file or directory [10:08] how do i get the lines out of my video its driving me out of my mad [10:08] Chapai: Are you using gnash? [10:08] Hi, I can't boot to any OS, the Grub settings appear to be correct, but I get an error saying the partition doesn't exist when I select an OS, anyone any idea what's going on? [10:08] oh i meant use a router, i.e. a hardware one with 2 nics, one for .1.0 one for .0.0, or do it with virtual machine software routers :P [10:08] zm, as I said INSTALL is the thing you want to run, may be named different (remember it's case sensitive) [10:08] no idea what that is end-user [10:09] i've downloaded kopete,but still can't run it though i've download it's libraries,why's that? [10:09] united: downloaded? why not install from repos [10:09] Chapai, please describe the situation. There are a couple dozen situations where you can use video which have different causes. [10:09] yes [10:09] yes,i mean download through synaptic [10:10] you may tell me how to install the package [10:10] united try alt f2 kopete [10:10] zm, also as I said, all good packages have a decent readme type file [10:10] all my videos (flash, vlc) has lines sorta jittering very noticable when panning [10:10] the instruction says type './configure' and then type 'make' [10:10] Chapai: gnash is the free (non-restricted) version of Flash. It is installed in Gutsy by default, but wasn't installed in my Hardy. Anyway, gnash isn't fully perfected yet, and for example, youtube videos had lines in them. You might want to use flash. To check if you are using Gnash, start by just right clicking the video you are trying to watch, and see if it brings up adobe flash dialog or gnash dialog [10:11] zm, if the instruction says so, then do so. [10:11] zm, yes, that is common [10:11] but when i finish typing 'make', it says 'no such a common [10:11] can't send files from Nokia N70 to Hardy, anybody? (from pc -> phone is working) [10:11] hooer, this is what I plan on doing http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.rpdb.multiple-links.html but first I need to get past just being able to talk to both routers, which should work but is not [10:11] i stopped at step 2 [10:11] zm, sudo apt-get build-essentials [10:12] Chapai: and if you need help getting flash, I can help you do with that too, but first I just want to figure out if gnash is your problem [10:12] zm, do that first then try again [10:12] zm, that's not an error that make throws when configure was run properly. Can you pastebin the output from ./configure? ( DistroJockey ) [10:12] have been any update in 804? I ask 'cause since installing I have not get any (for some reason I considerer that odd, lol) [10:12] CRASH69, no it's solid. Don't have any updates either. [10:12] CRASH69: none so far here [10:12] its not gnash end-user it happens with every video, the best i can describe is a very low frame rate with videos hischild end-user [10:12] the frustrating part is that I am sure someone around here knows the answer but I am not able to explain the issue properly [10:13] hey [10:13] the search feature didn't find a file [10:13] do I have to set it to recurse subdirectories [10:13] is there an option for that? [10:13] sudo apt-get build-essentials is an error common [10:13] zm build-essential no 's' [10:14] Chapai, have you tried to use a different video player? like vlc? what gfx card do you have? [10:14] Chapai: Sorry :( if you are already using Flash, then I don't know what that problem is. I had the problem with Gnash, so I thought that might be it. [10:14] xorgconfigure is missing. what package contains it? [10:14] cheers bazhang , sorry zm typo [10:14] yes [10:15] nothing [10:15] DistroJockey: :} [10:15] Carbonflux: just like in that link? [10:15] i was hoping someone might know the answer to my raid question too :p [10:15] i have hischild [10:15] bazhang, just tried it here and only get build-dep as a tab complete for build [10:16] Carbon, that's great but i would do it in a virtual appliance instead of on the host system :p [10:16] http://paste.ubuntu.com/9425/ this is what after i type './configure' shows [10:16] zm sudo apt-get install build-essential [10:16] bazhang, I just want to be able to ping the 192.168.1.1 addy from this machine, its something specific to this machine, the problem is really simple [10:16] well [10:16] DistroJockey, build-dep is a switch from apt-get. build-essential is a meta package. [10:16] hooer, yes that works fine [10:16] is there an app that registers frame rate? [10:16] hooer, I use virtualbox [10:16] orly :p [10:16] hischild, ahh, thanks :) [10:16] has anyone else had the problem that clicking the time/date in the taskbar leads to freezing the whole taskbar? [10:16] hooer, but if I don't have basic connectivity its pointless :) [10:16] does grub work with XFS yet? [10:17] pointless.. but cool [10:17] hooer, 8.04 inside a VM inside Windows can get at all the addys fine [10:17] thyko: apparently it is problematic still [10:17] hischild, forgot the install part as usual ;) [10:17] hmm [10:17] i upgraded last night from gutcy to herdy, everything went well except their is no sound. [10:17] anyway, this problem is hypersimple [10:17] and someone here knows the answer [10:17] Carbonflux, then ask so we may answer [10:17] but I am giving up because I can't explain it [10:17] :) [10:18] you might have to whip out the traffic capture and see waht's going on [10:18] does anyone have any idea why Grub would be failing to boot Ubuntu when the settings all look right? :S === nico_|gone is now known as nico_ [10:18] DistroJockey, np [10:18] bazhang: dang, i'll use lilo then, but its sloooow! [10:18] RandomCake: because the settings isn't right? [10:18] RandomCake: because it only 'looks' right? [10:18] RandomCake, they may look ok, but perhaps they're still wrong? [10:18] lilo is slow? [10:18] hischild, I can't ping 192.168.1.1 from one linux machine, I don't know why, it works from all the other machines on the same net, same settings, same routing table [10:18] mind: While I have not yet had that problem, the time/date for me still runs sort of harshly, for example, I have added a couple international times (the new feature) and there is a big delay when bringing it up, the times start in 24:00 time instead of 12:00 time, but then go correct after a while, and sometimes the edge is cut off the edge of the screen [10:18] very [10:18] and then? [10:18] how come [10:19] Carbonflux, describe the network please then :) [10:19] Carbonflux: check the netmasks... sure they are all 255.255.255.0 [10:19] !grub hooer [10:19] Factoid grub hooer not found [10:19] !grub | hooer [10:19] hooer: 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 [10:19] i mean.. doesnt the boot loader just do that, start the boot process? [10:19] !grub | hooer [10:19] hooer: it usually is, about 15 seconds to decompress the kernel [10:19] hehe [10:19] 255.255.255.0 does not work on any machine [10:19] clearly it masks off 1.1 addys [10:19] bonjour bonjour, je sais que ce doit etre une question bete mais dans la montagne de données je n'arrive pas à trouver: comment fait-on pour supprimer manuellement un disque dur dans /media à partir d'un terminal? merci [10:19] heres the weird thing, i installed 8.0.4 server from scratch and it's LILO not Grub [10:19] i still cannot install [10:19] Carbonflux, you're using virtualisation? what software did you use? [10:20] Carbonflux: it is a netmask! not an ip address [10:20] but xfs is dang fast after that [10:20] !fr | monk [10:20] monk: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr [10:20] hooer, grub does support xfs, yet the installer sometimes fails to install it thus defaults to lilo. [10:20] hischild, two routers connected to one switch, one router is 192.168.0.1 the other is at 192.168.1.1 [10:20] oooh [10:20] that's why. [10:20] zm what is gmlive-->please clarify [10:20] Carbonflux, and you get one way traffic? [10:20] !info gmlive [10:20] !xfs [10:20] xfs is a high-performance journaling filesystem originally developped by Silicon Graphics for their IRIX OS. It is now fully supported by Linux so you can install Ubuntu on it if you wish. More info at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XFS [10:20] i setup my raid arrays with xfs using the installer, so it would have been that? [10:20] magnetron: not woking :( [10:20] ubottu, oups, excuse me... [10:20] I can't keep explaining this over and over, everyone keeps making it more complex heh [10:21] I set the laptop to hibernate when the battery runs down. But it just goes blank and shuts down unexpectedly a few seconds later. What is wrong? [10:21] hooer, most likely [10:21] thanks for trying tho heh [10:21] well, bazhang, hischild, I've checked what drives there are, hda and hdb are both hard drives, so grub should be counting them both, the partition Ubuntu is on is hdb5, so it should be (hd1,4) and windows is on hdb1, so that should be (hd1,0), yes? :S [10:21] ok good to know [10:21] Carbonflux: if the netmask is 255.255.255.0 , the first three parts of their respective IP adress has to be identical [10:21] when's ZFS support coming? :) [10:21] just like sopcast [10:21] magnetron, right, which won't work if I am routing from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.1.1 [10:21] hooer, for more control, you can Esc out of the boot/install screen and type expert at the prompt [10:22] Question === c1|freaky_ is now known as c1|freaky [10:22] Err, nothing [10:22] hi, does anybody know how to disable the autoscan of rhythmbox? [10:22] Carbonflux: whatev! I was assuming you had a simple basic network. Using two routers gets you into routing troubles (hence routers) [10:22] zm do you have a better description? would it be helpful to talk in #ubuntu-cn ? [10:22] thats not it at all j0be [10:22] i dont't really need more control, it's a simple thing - i replaced a dead driev in my RAID1 array, but the replacement can't boot by itself when I test [10:22] its just a device [10:22] RandomCake, sounds like solid theory. But it sometimes also throws in the cd player, mixes up partitions, and also note that hdb5 is an extended partition which may also screw things up. I suggest you get the supergrub disc and fix grub with that. [10:22] I want to get on its website form linux [10:22] it works in windows np [10:23] Carbonflux: yes it is... anyway. draw a diagram somewhere and post it, so you have something to talk by [10:23] well, it a net tv [10:23] hooer, ahh, not my area sorry. [10:23] Hello all, I need some help with getting a Broadcom 94311MCG Wifi card to work with Hardy 8.04 [10:23] Carbonflux, have you tried adding a manual route? [10:23] j0be, thanks for thinking about it, I don't want to waste your time :) [10:23] Carbonflux: I bet the windows machine is on the same side as your website and your linux behind the 2nd router. [10:23] hooer, in theory, I am not sure it worked [10:23] whart can be the reason to obtain all the time "class not found" with the 32 bits java 6 plugin on firefox 32 bits on hardy x64 with CLASSPATH and JAVA_HOME set ? [10:23] what replaced xorgconfigure? [10:23] j0be, no [10:24] Carbonflux r u using dhcp [10:24] j0be, if I change the gateway of the linux machine to the 1.1 addy I can get at uit [10:24] no, its all static ips [10:24] something is messed up in the linux box is all [10:24] mmm ... does skype use qt4 library ? [10:24] its something simple [10:24] did you have 24 bit subnet mask originally, then change to 16? [10:24] okay hischild, I'll have a look at that, do you know which version is the English version? The one I downloaded last time was spanish and I couldn't understand a thing! [10:25] maybe the route table is trynig to use the gateway to get to .1.0 network [10:25] Carbonflux: which linux machine? the one you are trying to connect to your website? what is the default gateway then, where does that lead to, where is the website. [10:25] this is my op route show.... [10:25] 169.254.0.0/16 dev eth0 scope link metric 1000 [10:25] 192.168.0.0/16 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.0.2 default via 192.168.0.1 dev eth0 metric 100 [10:25] RandomCake, they are all multilanguage, so you can just switch languages.

But there has to be a line somewhere on what can and cannot be pasted.

Has anyone suffered the same problem ??? [10:29] Thanks, I've never managed to get my Broadcom 94311MCG Wifi card to work with any Ubuntu distro till now, I was hoping that it would be resolved in hardy. [10:29] No luck so far. [10:29] j0be, that is the addy of router one, I can get to its website [10:29] RAID question: 2 drives in 2 x RAID1 arrays, mdadm, one drive failed, replaced with new, created partitions, synched arrays, ran LILO to write MBR, rebooted - fine. HOWEVER, when I test with just the new drive it fails to boot. What's missing? :( [10:29] ubottu: you rascal [10:29] from what i hear wireless is greatly improved in hardy [10:29] j0be, 1.1 is the other router, if I use that for a gateway I can get at its site [10:29] less-then slash three? [10:29] But my card doesn't even show up the list of 'Restricted Drivers' [10:29] j0be, but it will not route between 0.1 and 1.1 and only on this one linux box [10:30] Carbon try to trace the ip address, see where the package is stopping: # tracepath 4.2.2.2 [10:30] There are a couple of posts in the forums which list steps to make my particular model work, but then, no luck so far. [10:30] thank you musa :) [10:30] because the 0.1 does not know how to get to IPs that end with 1.xxx [10:30] asfalt, same issue (not a very good .deb that one) [10:31] Carbonflux: or trace via a ping with # ping -R ip.addr.of.box [10:31] http://penkin.wordpress.com/2008/03/28/ubuntu-804-broadcom-wireless/ sixtyby3 this seen yet [10:31] thank you j0be [10:31] DistroJockey ahh I see, might have to install manually, pity ;) [10:31] the frustrating part is that arp can see both routers fine [10:32] Carbonflux, you could also just add a route to your machine there: route add net 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.1.1 [10:32] * Scrounch_ is now away: off [10:32] this is as far as I get in the boot process with just the new drive: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9430/ [10:32] Carbonflux, im assuming you are using /24 [10:32] !away > Scrounch_ [10:32] if i add the original one, it goes all the way [10:32] asfalt, I would suggest making a bug report as it is in the repo and does not work as expected [10:32] thefish, ok, I tried something like that === Scrounch_ is now known as Scrounch[AfK] === Scrounch[AfK] is now known as Scrounch_ [10:32] thefish, ip route show returns 0/16 [10:32] hello there [10:33] Carbonflux, theres your problem [10:33] ah [10:33] good [10:33] with /16 1.1 and 0.1 are on the same net [10:33] asfalt, happy to add a confirmation to your report [10:33] thefish, I don't understand I guess [10:33] Carbonflux, is your netmask on all the other machines 255.255.0.0 or 255.255.255.0? [10:33] hello [10:33] hi, i am trying to upgrade to 8.04 but i have some problems. [10:34] Carbonflux, for 192.168.x.x, its normally /24 or 255.255.255.0 [10:34] 255.255.0.0 [10:34] please specify dutch201 === Outlande1 is now known as Outlander [10:34] i seems to have installed everything but i still cant play mp3 files on hardy [10:34] hey anyone in synaptic how do i clear the history? [10:34] some packjages did not install but most were corrupted during donwload somehow. Redownloading it and starting do-upgrade helped on those [10:34] egoleo: ubuntu-restricted-extras and win32codecs? [10:34] i have all that installed [10:34] but now gedit package will not install bcs it is missing gedit.dirs [10:35] how to install a tar.gz package? [10:35] Carbonflux, and you have set this on the linux box with the problems as well? [10:35] DistroJockey I am just checking if it has been reported already, one moment [10:35] zm, unpack, compile, install [10:35] http://magma.maths.usyd.edu.au/magma/extract.shtml zm [10:35] I need to run ssh-add each time I login to be able to use ssh without password. Is there a way to run ssh-add automatically? [10:35] how do you make apt search for a specific command? [10:36] asfalt, k, not looked as I don't know the package [10:36] Hi. How can I change the keyboard layout on a ubuntu dapper server install? It has no X window system or similar, just a console. [10:36] im looking for xorgconfigure [10:36] thanks [10:36] apt-cache search [10:36] <^root^>  I am using Ubuntu 8.04LTS. It had Fx3.0, i uninstall it and installed the 2.0.x and now i cannot install any extension, whatever i install, get, "Firefox couldnt install extension at _______ becasue unexpected installation error, Review the error console for more details. -203" any idea? [10:36] good morning [10:36] bandung [10:36] @bazhang thanks, I'm checking it out. The instructions are a little different, this one uses fwcutter which I didn't have luck with in Feisty, let's see. [10:36] jatt, you can either just remove the password from the key, or write a script and add it to your startup (you can also ad a @reboot line to your crontab) [10:37] after unpack, how to compile? [10:37] !compile | zm [10:37] zm: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [10:37] zm, ./configure and watch if it gives you any error. also ^ [10:37] zm, ./configure - make sure it doesnt reurn errors, then make [10:37] zm, if it doesn't have a good readme, why would you install it? [10:37] zm you may wish to bookmark that link [10:38] Hi, everytime I connect my PSP to ubuntu it opens rhythmbox, how do I stop it from opening? [10:38] robbie: /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? [10:38] smmagic: look in System -> Preferences -> Removeable Drives and Media [10:39] nothing is there [10:39] I checked :P [10:39] thats the file....im guessing theres no tool to configure it then? [10:39] smmagic, and in /etc/gnome/defaults.list [10:39] because my settings got mis detected [10:39] thefish: thanks for the suggestions. The problem I had trying to do it with a script is that ssh-add always seems to ask for a password interactively (if I understood ssh-add(1) correctly). What does the @reboot line on my (now empty) crontab do? [10:39] robbie, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ? [10:39] smmagic: under my "Multimedia" tab there is an option "Play music files when connected" to a portable music player [10:39] @foolip # sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup [10:39] jatt: but having the password for the key i a file is as good as having no password for the key [10:39] smmagic: that's on Gutsy at least [10:39] tried that [10:39] here's a good noob question [10:39] robbie: dpkg-reconfigure xserver [10:39] robbie: sudo displayconfig-gtk for hardy === newb is now known as newb721 [10:39] how do I delete files in /etc? [10:39] * smmagic checks [10:40] I did it a long time ago but I forgot how to [10:40] sudo ???? [10:40] <^root^> xlink: why you should? [10:40] some people know what does this problem? unable to boot - please use a kernel appropriate for your cpu [10:40] xlink why do wish to do that?? [10:40] ok how do you delete a fil via terminal [10:40] jatt, its the same as adding a time, except it just runs on reboot :) I use it to start off simpserver for my user here [10:40] <^root^> xlink: yes, you woul need sudo... [10:40] I added a configuration file [10:40] which i don't like anymore [10:40] affects fotn properties [10:40] xlink, sudo rm but this is HIGHLY unsuggested. Also do NOT use recursive in there no matter what the reason may be. [10:40] and while not horid... [10:40] Don't see it under preferences, osfameron [10:40] displayconfig-gtk only goes up to 800x600 [10:40] I can do more [10:40] jatt, the easiest would be to make a user who connects to the other machine, give them the least amount of access possible, and give them a no-password key [10:41] xlink: sudo rm /etc/badconffile [10:41] bobbyyes_, sounds like you are trying to use 64bit on a 32bit CPU [10:41] bobbyyes_: you installed 64bit on a 32bit system? [10:41] only deleting files I added myself [10:41] robbie: dpkg-reconfigure xserver.xorg *************** [10:41] so i do: apt-get -f dist-upgrade. it gives me WARNING: /usr/share/python-support/gedit.dirs does not exist. [10:41] so no worries there [10:41] musa: dapper doesn't have console-setup. some googling told me it's console-data, and it works now. thanks [10:41] <^root^> xlink: search for files with the owner name as you, and delete, read man find [10:41] also thank you [10:41] and then Traceback (most recent call last): [10:41] File "/usr/sbin/update-python-modules", line 269, in [10:41] args.remove(arg) [10:41] ValueError: list.remove(x): x not in list [10:41] crash69: I ran that exact command, the entries are still the same [10:41] dutch201: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:41] Hello, gnash doesn't play Youtube videos... What could be wrong? [10:41] sudo rm drop and drag... [10:41] ow i am sorry [10:41] ill try restarting x then come back [10:42] no, is 32 bit Ubuntu and 32 Bit CPU [10:42] thefish: I agree this seems the easier solution: use a no-password key. Actually this laptop is used only by me but I connect to many others machines through ssh. How do I remove the password from the key? You can point me to a man page ;). [10:42] got to head out for a bit good luck to all :) [10:42] Does anyone else know how to stop rhythmbox from opening when I connect my PSP? [10:42] bobbyyes_, you have amd or intel? [10:42] xlink: sudo rm 'drop and drag' (if you have spaces in your file name) [10:42] jatt, if you connect to many servers and do admin stuff, dont use a blank password [10:43] alright, i'm trying to install something that requires libxml2 on Ubuntu 8.04 but it says i don't have it. it is installed though [10:43] nope, still the same thing even after running dpkg-reconfigre xserver-xorg and restarting x [10:43] Intel CPU. PM 1.7G. Frist generation Centrino [10:43] anyone know what i need to do? [10:43] still only goes up to 800x600 [10:43] robbie, what is your issue? [10:43] drop and drag would have been a physical action [10:43] ah ok [10:43] jatt, perhaps use something like keepassx (i probably write it wrong) so keep track of the passwords [10:43] I want to put it up to 1024x768 [10:43] not a file name [10:43] bobbyyes_, what iso are you using? [10:43] thefish: hmm could be I need to find a compromise... However I don't do admin stuff on this machines. I'm just a developer so use only a user account (not root) to install software I write. [10:43] as in I dropped the file into terminal [10:43] jatt, if you are doing admin on the machines and need "proper" access, I would make a strong passphrase, then just ssh-add -t{some huge time}, you'll only need to do it once, and it means all your access is safe [10:43] robbie: nvidia? [10:43] since that copy/oases the URL [10:43] yep nvidia [10:44] nvidia drivers are in synaptic now aren't they? [10:44] its a pretty new comp [10:44] robbie: I have it, wait a second [10:44] I just manually installed them out of memory... [10:44] took a look in synaptic [10:44] <^root^> I am using Ubuntu 8.04LTS. It had Fx3.0, i uninstall it and installed the 2.0.x and now i cannot install any extension, whatever i install, get, "Firefox couldnt install extension at _______ becasue unexpected installation error, Review the error console for more details. -203" any idea? [10:44] and was like... [10:44] wow that's overdue [10:44] anyone know a good way to remote desktop to ubuntu 8.04? Not through vnc tho [10:44] I am running it under xen [10:44] DistroJockey: file name: ubuntu-8.04-server-i386.iso [10:44] and gdm won't start [10:44] jatt, problem is if someone gets that key file, they instantly have all your access without any work, and you will not know, inless you are checking your auth logs regularly [10:45] hischild: thanks will take a look at keepassx (seems it isn't in the ubuntu repositories though). [10:45] and it doesn't really have to, but I was looking at stuff like xdmcp, xephyr, etc [10:45] nvidia-cg-toolkit ? [10:45] jatt, i'm probably writing it wrong. It is in the repo's. [10:45] I did an apt-cache search for nvidia [10:45] to be more specific, i'm trying to install compiz on Ubuntu 8.04 but it says it can't find libxml-2.0 even though i have it =( [10:45] hischild: dapper repos? [10:45] bobbyyes_, hmm [10:45] jatt, i think ubu can now save your key passes as well cant it? [10:45] !info keepassx [10:45] my usb reader is not working, the on lights comes on blinks a bit then goes off anyway to fix this? [10:45] Guys, sharing folders in hadry looks like its broken...anybody has a fix? [10:45] Hi, does anyone know how to stop rhythmbox from opening when I connect my PSP to ubuntu [10:45] robbie: aplicattions>add/remove>NVIDIA X server settings, remember to backup xorg and replace old xorg with new one [10:45] brb restarting X [10:45] hey DistroJockey I made a bug report for blubuntu-theme, if you wish to add here is the link https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/blubuntu-look/+bug/225606 [10:46] Launchpad bug 225606 in blubuntu-look "blubuntu-theme broken in Hardy 8.04" [Undecided,New] [10:46] is there a what provides search for the package tool ? [10:46] bobbyyes_, should be suitable. [10:46] is there a channel for 7.10-8.04 upgrade problems ? [10:46] I just did an apt-get install nvidia-cg-toolkit [10:46] asfalt, cheers, looking [10:46] @bazhang thanks, I'm going to have to reboot to check whether it worked. [10:46] jatt, not sure. Ubotu seems gone again. aptitude search keepassx ? [10:46] Thank you, [10:46] thefish: I don't know much about ubu. It's an application? [10:46] yeah, but i can't star my Ubuntu server. [10:46] robbie, believeme that pakage fix the issue, just spent 3 days with that [10:47] hischild: aptitude search keepassx gave no output :( [10:47] foolip: try manually editing /etc/X11/xorg look for "XkbLayout" [10:47] =\ hardy has no multimedia tab [10:47] jatt, perhaps get it online then and compile yourself? For me it serves like a great tool. [10:47] dutch201: No, not a specific one. This channel is suitable, though. === bobbyyes_ is now known as bobbyyes [10:47] I get a permissions error when trying to shafiles with Hardyre [10:47] is it possible to run this disk check that runs sometime at start up from inside ubuntu/xubuntu? [10:47] my usb reader is not working, the on lights comes on blinks a bit then goes off anyway to fix this? [10:48] Have there been any updates for Hardy ? apt-get update then upgrade does not find any updates. Could my config be wrong or have there been no updates ?? [10:48] hi all, i have a very annoying problem, every time a window becomes out of focus its TITLE bar turns transparent, its very aggravating how can i make it not transparent if its not on focus? [10:48] hello [10:48] i am running into a problem wchich i cannot solve by redownloading the .deb file [10:48] i pasted the last error when i do a dist upgrade [10:48] anyone know a good way to remote desktop to ubuntu 8.04? Not through vnc tho, like xdmcp or xephyr - anyone play with those? [10:48] asfalt:....I've also had no updares [10:48] Hey, did anyone answer my question? [10:48] well all is well [10:48] I dropped off the internet. [10:48] how can i speed up the panel animation? [10:48] man I'm surprised I hadn't learned what rm did before [10:48] gizzo, are you using compiz [10:49] xepra FreeNX seems to be popular but I have not used it myself [10:49] I need to learn console a bit better [10:49] thanks, I'll take a look [10:49] jaffarkelshac: i'm using the advanced effects so i guess the answer is yes :) [10:49] jatt, ubuntu i mean, theres something in gnome that does it iirc [10:49] I'm a hardware buff and software is my downfall [10:49] Hi, in hardy there is no multimedia tab located under system --> preferences --> removable devices and media. What replaces it? [10:49] I'll ask again... what package is SDL? [10:49] I do I share files in Hardy [10:49] asfalt, added to your report [10:49] look for the reflections plugin and disable it [10:49] umbrualbert: right click a folder [10:50] gizzo, up* [10:50] what do you use to scan an unpartitionned, unformatted HD for defect? [10:50] thefish, heh, sorry my machine decided to freeze right when it was getting good :( [10:50] hischild: yes I will read more about it... Reading the brief description on www.keepassx.org I understand keepassx can store passwords but it's possible to make it to interact with ssh-add? My problem is that I want to avoid to run ssh-add manually once I login to my system. [10:50] bentob0x: ultimate boot cd :P [10:50] Hi, in hardy there is no multimedia tab located under system --> preferences --> removable devices and media. What replaces it? [10:50] DistroJockey cheers, let's hope we can soon banish the poo brown theme ;) [10:50] jaffarkelshac: up*? [10:50] smmagic: probably nothing :/ [10:50] k checking up LSD|Ninja [10:50] LSD|Ninja: ..I get a permission error when trying to share [10:50] Then..but...what do I do :'( [10:50] nv [10:50] smmagic: that's a common thread in Hardy, stuff being dropped with no usable replacement [10:51] look for the reflection tab gizzo [10:51] asfalt, heh, I have not seen the theme you speak of, but the functionality to add it is broken for sure [10:51] Then this is annoying me >_> [10:51] roxahris_: if some configure skript complains about SDL not being there, install libsdl1.2-dev [10:51] jaffarkelshac: ok, let me see if i find it [10:51] can anyone give me something to try when the dit-upgrade breaks on a certain package? [10:51] asfalt: I am running a domU in xen and gdm can't start - will freenx still be able to connect? [10:51] trying to share...net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare: cannot open usershare directory /var/lib/samba/usershares. Error Permission denied [10:51] jatt, i'm not sure if you can integrate it on such a way. [10:51] DistroJockey I have seen a few screenshots but haven't seen it all [10:51] Urgently need to access winblows share [10:51] umbrualbert: I haven't actually tried the usershare system, I'm still miffed about the old Folder Sharing control panel being relegated to the background with no real replacement :/ [10:52] xepra I don't know I am afraid [10:52] jaffarkelshac: i found cube reflection [10:52] Thanks! [10:52] So in turn, this means EVERYTIME I connect my PSP rhythmbox will open, LSD|Ninja [10:52] jaffarkelshac: is that the one i should be looking for? [10:52] jatt, accessories > passwords and encryption keys - there is an option to store ssh key passphrases there [10:52] hi, a friend of mine cant connect to xchat he gets "Unknown host. Maybe you misspelled it?" error every time. What would be the solution? [10:52] Carbonflux, no worries :) [10:52] * elektronik123456 LG mobile fones are good sory offtopic [10:52] umbrualbert Places, Network, Windows Network or in nautilus type in "smb://machine/share" in the address bar [10:52] linuxuser_xmanx, when he sets up his server window, does he press enter after he types it in [10:52] gizzo, actually there is a reflection below that, but it does not make it opage but you can replace it with an image [10:53] asfalt: he wants to be able to share files, not connect to shared files. Or at least that was my guess... [10:53] thefish, while I was gone I reset everything so its: 192.168.0.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.0.2 [10:53] asfalt...Thanks...I also urgently need to share a folder for other winblows users [10:53] LSD|Ninja he needs both ;) [10:53] !samba [10:53] Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

[10:54] thefish: hmm looks promising. I haven't that menu but I it turns out it's provided by the seahorse application will install it now.

[10:59] yeah [10:59] umbrualbert, not had a chance to look yet, sorry [10:59] basicly [10:59] my screen works [10:59] and I can see everything fine [10:59] but [10:59] TheBigNoob: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:59] TheBigNoob dude :) its ok to ask for help :). [11:00] I have a monitor box floating around saying the my input is not supported [11:00] DistroJockey:...Have you seen any updates for Hardy? [11:00] TheBigNoob: As I said before, Gutsy hada nice control panel that let you set the resolution, refresh rate etc globally but that was dropped in Hardy it seems [11:00] TheBigNoob do you have an LCD? [11:00] umbrualbert I have not seen any updates yet for Hardy [11:00] and I cant get rid of it becasue its running at a higher hertz [11:00] umbrualbert, nope, none [11:00] yes I have an lcd [11:00] LSD|Ninja is it for GLX drivers? [11:01] I run nvidia-settings refreshrate in terminal [11:01] TheBigNoob tried Fedora? [11:01] does anyone know why my system says it can't find libxml2 when i have it for sure? [11:01] it says 85 hz [11:01] rexnublr: it used to be in System -> Administration -> Screens and Resolution orsomething [11:01] yeah [11:01] I prefer ubuntu [11:01] ive been using it for awhile [11:01] how do I stop autologin to gnome? [11:01] rexnublr: it wasa night and day improvement over the crappy one in the Prefernces menu [11:02] LSD|Ninja ya? so it supports the GLX drivers for sure eh? [11:02] umbrualbert, my mirror is a day behind at most and I have all appropriate repos enabled [11:02] Schypher_, System/admin/Login window === dannyr_ is now known as dannyr [11:02] hallo ich suche skype für debian amd64 kann mir jemand sagen wo und wie ich das finde ? [11:02] rexnublr: I assume so [11:02] !dvd [11:02] For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs === dannyr is now known as dannyr_ [11:02] im feeling creative [11:02] TheBigNoob just try that then, what LSD|Ninja said. [11:02] I might try something [11:02] Where do I find the universe dvd for hardy? [11:02] hi is there a packet reconstructer like eEye iris on linux ? [11:03] herby_: you were already told to go to the german channel [11:03] OzFalcon: these options are under wrong category [11:03] anyone know how to make a user login with NO password? [11:03] sdakak: universe repos are online [11:03] rexnublr: that's the problem, it was dropped in Hardy :/ [11:03] OzFalcon: set the password to null ? [11:03] The SMB share problem looks like a permissions problem [11:03] ikonia: I want to download the torrent. [11:03] ikonia, How? [11:03] OzFalcon: repeating the question every 5 minutes isn't a way to get on a channels good side ;) [11:03] when ever I install ubuntu I sudo su passwd root :) [11:03] is there a key command to minimize a window in gnome? [11:03] OzFalcon: passwd $user [11:03] I hate sudo, its so lame. [11:03] OzFalcon: or set the password to blank in the user manager tool [11:03] rexnublr: don't use it then [11:03] ikonia: for the universe repo. The site was in the channel topic of #ubuntu-release-party. Do you know what is it? [11:03] ikonia HAH :) [11:03] sdakak: I'm sorry I don't [11:04] umbrualbert, it worked fine with 7.10 (smb:// that is) [11:04] @umbrual: did you added the user to samba db: # smbpasswd -a [11:04] robbie: did it work? [11:04] musa: that's supposed to be handled in 8.04 [11:04] stupid question; I left my laptop installing Hardy through the alternate installation method (network install), and it ran out of power. /var/log/dpkg.log tells me that grub was the last package to be installed. can I trust that the system is fully installed, or would you recommend reinstalling? [11:04] hi is there a packet reconstructer like eEye iris on linux ? [11:04] I have a question, technically how hard would it be to emulate the Win XP interface in Ubuntu? [11:04] well I get You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file when I run nvidia-settings(just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server. [11:04] graphically its a master of copy and paste images to PNG or something [11:04] but touchy feely wise. [11:04] OzFalcon: boot it, try it [11:05] ikonia, Doesn't work. Can;t set it blank in the user manager tool [11:05] when I run nvidia-settings [11:05] LSD: oh ok [11:05] ive done what it said but it does the same thing again [11:05] OzFalcon: passwd $user then === void^_ is now known as void^ [11:05] rexnublr: XPDE [11:05] rexnublr: Many have created artwork skins for that, none of them are very good. [11:05] ikonia, I'll try that. But (passwd -d user) didn't work. [11:06] OzFalcon: oh really, thats odd [11:06] * asabil wonders why people like the ugly teletubbies inspired windows XP interface [11:06] ouch [11:06] rexnublr: There comes a time when one must realize that Ubuntu isn't Windows... I would think most Ubunteros would encourage you to embrace Ubuntu as Ubuntu, and not try to turn it into Windows. [11:06] OzFalcon: I would have expected passwd -d to work [11:06] robbie: did you tried what I said? [11:06] lol it just changed into 320x175 graphics [11:06] ikonia, Couln't login at all after deleting the password. [11:06] Speaking of SMB, why doesn't Ubuntu list shares when you browse to a server in GNOME? I double click a machine and get nothing. I can access the shares with smb://server/share but that's a pain [11:06] umbrualbert, the main issue is that it doesn't request a user/pass in most cases [11:06] OzFalcon: try setting it to null [11:06] yep [11:07] installed those packages [11:07] asabil ya ya, but its lame, the fonts are all wrong etc. [11:07] mmmm.I cant find a fix....Hope this gets resolved [11:07] umbrualbert: what's the problem, I missed you question [11:07] would it make my life easier to reinstall with 7.10 then? [11:07] rexnublr: then use GNOME, or go back to windows XP [11:07] 8.04 is causing me so much trouble --_-- [11:07] Creating shares on Hardy for winblows users to access [11:07] hi is there a packet reconstructer like eEye iris on linux ? [11:07] umbrualbert, and even with the right credentials it fails for most secure shares [11:08] asabil maybe I will do it myself, but is there a copyright issue there? [11:08] umbrualbert: you mean "windows" users, I assume [11:08] Windows file sharing was never the best in Ubuntu, 8.04 just seems to have made it worse :( [11:08] rexnublr: I am not a lawyer [11:08] ikonia, I can't set it to null. it says "no password supplied" [11:08] robbie: and did you run: system>administration>Nvidia x server settinngs ? [11:08] hi is there a packet reconstructer like eEye iris on linux ? [11:08] OzFalcon: ahh, thats a pain, one moment I'll try it on a box here [11:09] LSD|Ninja, I agree, it has gotten worse [11:09] keegan, ubuntu is linux :) [11:09] LSD|Ninja: smbmount (kernel based) is not working? [11:09] ikonia: Yip, Windows... [11:09] rausb0: hmm? [11:09] rexnublr: go ahead and do it, even if I am not really convinced about the "beauty" of the teleptubbies inspired green and blue interface [11:09] umbrualbert: what's actually the problem ? [11:09] I think the linux file system needs to be reconstructed. [11:09] LSD|Ninja: not the gnome vfs thing and not smbclient. kernel based smbfs. [11:10] LSD|Ninja: "Windows file sharing was never the best in Ubuntu, 8.04 just seems to have made it worse": The contrary is true. [11:10] rausb0: I'm sure that works, that isn't the point [11:10]  rausb0.....for smbmount to work...apt-get install smbfs...was dropped in hardy [11:10] bullgard4: no, not it's not [11:10] rexnublr, it's fine as it is .. you need to get around how it is constructed, it takes a little time, but you get there. [11:10] umbrualbert: really? [11:10] rexnublr: your making a theoretical discussion that is nothing to do with ubuntu, I suggest you try #ubuntu-offtopic [11:10] Ubuntu box (8.04) trying to smb:// fails as does Connect to Server from places [11:10] gizzo, i found it in terminal type gconf-editor apps>gwd> metacity theme opacity to 1 [11:10] worked for me [11:10] rexnublr: do you know what a filesystem is ? [11:10] yeah its saying I dont have the driver enabled and to run nvidia-xconfig, ive done that and restarted x. its doing the same thing when I go to that nvidia administration program again [11:10] ikonia, Any luck? [11:11] rexnublr: what do you want to change in the filesystem ? [11:11] OzFalcon: how are you trying to login ? [11:11] I think we should create a new text charset, based on algroithms that generate png images at any size, thus replacing ascii and ansi 100 percent. [11:11] asabil: rexnublr take it to #ubuntu-offtopic please. [11:11] !info smbfs [11:11] ok [11:11] OzFalcon: eg: gdm, ssh ? [11:11] ikonia: ain't interested [11:11] asabil: ok, drop the topic then [11:11] say, which repo has quakeIII demo? [11:12] ikonia, gdm (human list) [11:12] ikonia: just wondering what is he talking about ... [11:12] asabil: nonsense [11:12] OzFalcon: ok [11:12] agreed [11:12] How could MAC OSX be so fast?! Is it because the hardware? [11:12] hey ubottu, don't know !info anymore? [11:12] paulcross: pardon ? in relation to what ? [11:12] silly bot [11:12] paulcross: it is *not* fast, it is slower in fact than other OSes [11:13] ikonia, The cover flow, The time machine..... [11:13] OzFalcon: Hmmm it looks like pam is playing a part [11:13] paulcross: how is this anything to do with ubuntu ? [11:13] asabil, Really. But in the video its very fast. [11:13] OzFalcon: just tracking it down [11:13] ikonia, I've hear of pam, But don't know anything about it. [11:14] ikonia, ubuntu use the same cover flow effect. But it seems not fast enough. [11:14] paulcross: it is not fast. it just got smooth animations (I got a mac myself) [11:14] OzFalcon: just walking it through now, I get the same issues, there is also application level configs for ssh/gdm etc which has options like "allow blank passwords) [11:14] asabil, Oh [11:14] paulcross: the X server is totally different [11:14] hi is there a packet reconstructer like eEye iris on linux ? [11:14] keegan: check the repo's [11:15] okay [11:15] keegan: you mean something like dpkg-repack? [11:15] rausb0: network tool [11:15] ikonia: oh, okay [11:15] ikonia, oh. I thought its because OSX use the directx instead of opengl. [11:15] ikonia, Hmmm. [11:15] paulcross: directX is a windows technology isn't it ? [11:16] paulcross: oO no directX on osx [11:16] ikonia, No .OSX panther using the directx. [11:16] paulcross: everyone uses OpenGL except microsoft [11:16] paulcross: I think your mistaken on that === andreas is now known as iluminatus [11:16] rausb0: no to reconstruct network packets [11:16] paulcross: no no dude, DirectX is only for windows and XBox [11:16] ikonia, somehthing in /etc/pam.d/ ? [11:17] OzFalcon: one moment [11:17] OzFalcon: got it [11:17] OzFalcon: /etc/gdm/gdm.conf [11:17] asabil, wait a miniute. I belive i could find the youtube link which shows panther using the directx [11:17] ikonia, yeah, looked at that. But doesn't mean much to me. [11:18] paulcross maybe inside vmware fusion [11:18] paulcross: what are you talking about ? yeah sure there is Cider (cedega equivalent for OSX), but that's a DirectX implementation on top of OpenGL [11:18] Where are the ca certificates stored?? [11:18] OzFalcon: look for "PasswordRequired=false" int eh config file. [11:18] ikonia, oh, hold on. I was looking at /etc/pam.d/gdm sorry [11:19] paulcross: and to let you know, OpenGL is generally faster/better than DirectX (except on windows) [11:19] OzFalcon: no problem [11:19] ikonia, ok thanks for that [11:19] is there a program or an option to use id3/4 tags of an mp3 when burning an audio cd instead of the file name? [11:19] ikonia, trying out now. [11:19] OzFalcon: /etc/gdm/gdm.conf and the line PasswordRequired=false [11:19] Carbonflux: still there? i saw a /16 coming by, you are messed up with your netmasks [11:19] OzFalcon: read the text above that line too [11:19] asabil, I am looking for the link. [11:19] paulcross: maybe take this to #apple [11:20] paulcross: not really an ubuntu discussion [11:20] my dvd playback's video quality is quite bad, how can i correct it? [11:21] ikonia, k. so editing with vi now. [11:21] an ssh bookmark manager, is there another aside from the sshmenu package ? [11:21] asfalt: putty does it [11:21] ikonia, Yes. sorry [11:21] ikonia oh there is a repo package for putty? or you mean to run it in wine ? [11:21] paulcross: no need for apologies [11:22] asfalt: no, putty is available on linx too [11:22] hello, how can i mount sata hdd? [11:22] gralexey: same as every other disk "mount" is the command [11:22] ikonia excuse my ignorance then I shall apt-cache search and install it ;) [11:22] asfalt: no ignorance, the repo's are massive, the package is putty I think [11:22] Hi there. [11:23] mount === nous is now known as _nous [11:23] asfalt: putty and putty-tools [11:23] on which dev it do you know? [11:23] thanks again ikonia [11:23] gralexey: which ever one you want to mount eg: sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb1 /mnt" [11:24] I use firestarter for internet sharing in ubuntu 7.04. Now I need use 6.06 - what can I use for internet sharing in 6.06? There are no firestarter in 6.06 synaptic list [11:24] asfalt: iptables, sqiud [11:24] <_nous> ikonia, is gralexey trying to set up a mount point for a hd? [11:24] my dvd playback's video quality is quite bad, how can i correct it? [11:24] /dev/sdb1 its my flashdisk [11:24] gralexey: find out partition you want to mount # sudo fdisk -l -l = list [11:24] asfalt: iptables is firestarter without the front end, a tool like fwbuilder may help you if you don't know the commands [11:24] gralexey: ok, what device file is your disk ? [11:25] _nous: just mount a disk [11:25] gralexey: use fdisk or gparted on teh device to see the partitions [11:25] gurpeet did you just install the dvdcss2? [11:25] gralexey: then mount the correct device [11:25] <_nous> ikonia, i see.. I am trying to create a mount point and proper fstab entries for one of my hd's [11:25] <_nous> i forgot to label it during install ;/ [11:25] _nous: ok, are you having issues ? [11:25] i dont know exectly( [11:25] gralexey: how many hard disks do you have ? [11:25] Hi, I want firefox 2.x instead of 3 beta :(, Is it possible to migrate back without to much suffering in Ubuntu 8.04? [11:26] i have tried any [11:26] tARrAScH: there is a firefox-2 package int eh repos [11:26] nonewmsgs, i've ran the install-css.sh script [11:26] gralexey: how many disks sata/ide/flash do youhave in the system [11:26] <_nous> well, just unsure how to get it to automount and also need to have it point to a directory/ [11:26] ikonia: ah, OK, seems good :) [11:26] ciao [11:26] _nous: anything in your /etc/fstab gets automounted [11:26] already mounted two: hda2 and hda5 [11:26] sup [11:26] sup [11:26] nonewmsgs, yes, its installed [11:26] gralexey: thats 1 disk, - 2 partitions [11:27] gralexey: how many physical disks do you have in your system [11:27] no [11:27] dunno [11:27] <_nous> ikonia, so just create a dir/ in / and then add fstab entries? [11:27] two: one ide and one sata [11:27] hi, I'm about to upgrade to the newest ubuntu but I'm scared that nautilus is going to lose my mapped ftp drives - is there a way to back them up just in case? [11:27] gunpreet have you rebooted since? [11:27] _nous: created a mount point where ever you want (/media/$ or /mnt/$ are common) and then update your fstab [11:27] no [11:27] gralexey: ok, and is /dev/sda your ide disk ? [11:28] Nautilus lists a 'type' for every filename it displays. Where can I find a list of the elements of the set of types that are available in this Nautilus column? [11:28] (I mean the stuff in the Places menu) [11:28] <_nous> ikonia, i would prefer to have it in the root dir [11:28] _nous: root dir is fine - it's your system, mount where YOU like, [11:28] ikonia, Still not working. I uncommented out the line to make passreq=false, I don't have a file /etc/default/login [11:28] nonewmsgs, going to reboot now [11:28] <_nous> or I guess I could symlink it [11:28] * _nous shrugs [11:28] OzFalcon: why do you think you need a /etc/default/login file [11:29] i already tried to mount it, said that wrong filesystem [11:29] <[volk]> I can't play movies inside gnome apps anymore after last upgrade [11:29] ikonia, no, Im saying I don't have one. (Hence no overide) so it should work, [11:29] <[volk]> they play slow motion without any sound [11:29] i installed thunar to this low spec pc, but i cant access windows network shares anymore. are there any gui programs for thunar to enable networking ? [11:29] gralexey: I'm not sure whats going on, I'm asking you questions and your responding with random answer [11:29] <[volk]> I can play everything just fine in vlc though [11:29] OzFalcon: ahhh [11:29] gralexey: is /dev/sda your ide disk ? [11:30] no [11:30] [volk]: have you got all your extra apt repositories turned on? I'm not an expert but it could be missing apt packages... [11:30] OzFalcon: one moment why I read [11:30] ikonia, I wouldn't have to reboot would I? [11:30] <[volk]> shomon, hmm no.. [11:30] OzFalcon: just restart X ? [11:30] ikonia, or restart gdm [11:30] gralexey: ok, so you know that /dev/sda is your sata disk then, so /dev/sda$ is all the partitions on your sata disk [11:30] ikonia, can't remember how now. :-( [11:30] gralexey: so in answer to your first question /dev/sda is your sata disk, and then /dev/sda$number is your partitions [11:31] OzFalcon: ctrl+alt+backspace [11:31] [volk]: do your video apps give you an error message, like "no codec for this" etc? [11:31] ikonia, that'll log me out wont it? [11:31] OzFalcon: yes it will [11:31] ikonia, if so, Back in a tick. [11:31] ikonia, ok thanks, will try again [11:31] OzFalcon: no problem [11:32] hi all [11:32] <[volk]> shomon, no.. they just play things ni slow motion [11:32] nonewmsgs, video is alright now, thanks [11:32] <[volk]> shomon, what extra repositories do you mean? === chmac7 is now known as chmac [11:32] ah, sorry you lost me then... ok wait, I'll fire up synaptic and take a look [11:32] gurpreet good! i had the same problem that's how i knew [11:32] nonewmsgs, i watched LOTR for 1 hour in bad video :( [11:32] anybody know how to pair bluetooth device with pc in console?

Why nobody fix this bug! Its really a bigggggg bug!

How do I merge the 2 partitions, and make the flash drive back to the way it came? [11:37] Sorry...I'm kinda new to linux. [11:37] hi !

Why would that be? [11:41] any idea? [11:41] So, is there a ubuntu partition manager I can use? [11:41] try to write new .bashrc [11:42] i have a buggy upgrade whic will not run past gedit package. how do i get a list of new packages that were not processed during the upgrade?

One has to be 127.0.1.1 localhost and one has to be 127.0.1.1 lcars_ubuntu [12:15] matt___: they don't work globally [12:15] hischild, and it also has 192.168.100.60 tims.ubuntu01.ubuntu01 tims_ubuntu.OURHOUSE that's old info, can I delete it?

[12:17] anyone help me with an install problem - as in I install via the windows installer - reboot and ubuntu hangs at hald ?? [12:17] matt___, i suggest you to search for any suitable SQL tutorial. you have plenty of them on the interweb... :) [12:17] then press R [12:17] edward, ohok [12:18] edward, what happens if I want to type R? [12:18] mahadasda, ok thanks guess i should have asked this question five mins. ago before i did the first folder [12:18] press [escape] to make sure you're in command mode [12:18] my battery won't recharge anymore since I upgraded to hardy...any ideas? [12:18] is it just me who is having apparently random total system lockups after 6.06 -> 8.04 upgrade? [12:18] have you done all updates? [12:18] hi, [12:18] how to install gcc m using VMWARE!

[12:19] matt___, yes, it try to draw a sort of table, so you have to enlarge your terminal to see it clearly [12:19] Hey, anyone got any cool tweaks etc for ubuntu? === musa is now known as shirwa [12:19] timr keep pressing esc [12:19] QuasarRichter: Well, hi and welcome to Linux. :-) [12:19] case_: as large as it'll go :( [12:19] timr till you see a cursor [12:19] how can i install adobe flash player? [12:19] matt___, or you can replace the * by any coma separated list of the column you're interested in [12:19] timr at the bottom of the screen [12:19] edward, I see a cursor [12:19] argh ati strikes again [12:19] ok now press 'R' and enter [12:19] skywalker: Installing ubuntu-restricted-extras will install all of that for you automatically. Can you please do what I just said above? [12:20] edward, omfg [12:20] like : SELECT user,password,dob FROM
WHERE user='matt'; [12:20] edward, now it has another line [12:20] case_: what i'm trying to do is create a user that can log in from open office on the network...can you show me how i would delete all the users named "matt" [12:20] !ask | QuasarRichter [12:20] QuasarRichter: 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. :-) [12:20] edward, and an r [12:20] Hey guys, I had my system work perfectly fine just now.. but when I tried to automount a NTFS drive.. after that didn't succeed and I set it back to what it was.. my wireless stopped working.

[12:21] matt___, realy, i've no time to teach you sql... have a look on google with request like "mysql delete row" or something like that. [12:21] edward, how do I do that [12:21] timr ok [12:21] skywalker: Open a terminal and type: sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras sun-java6-jre [12:21] timr dd is the command to delete a line the cursor is on [12:21] case_: so that's how i'd do it, delete the row? alright, sounds good, thanks for the help [12:21] timr you gotta be in command mode tho [12:21] Reinstalled about three times last night to get it working just right, but now the wireless failed on me again >< 8.04 version, AR5007EG card [12:21] matt___, you're welcome. good luck [12:22] edward, it worked so I must be in command mode [12:22] edward, how do I get out of command mode? [12:22] timr good [12:22] anyone help me with an install problem - reboot and ubuntu hangs at hald ?? [12:22] timr esc again [12:22] timr it toggles it [12:22] ohok [12:22] Solusian: Reinstalling Linux may not be a one-shot solution. You will need to provide details and probably file a bug report at launchpad.net [12:22] timr there's edit and command mode [12:22] esc toggles between them [12:22] case_: but i can't help but asking, i *think i remember someone mentioning some tool that would make this all easier, but i'm not sure about that. I may be thinking of phpmyadmin, but it's all a mess up there (my brain). [12:22] helllo [12:22] Hey everybody. I composed a desktop PC of custom parts. Can anybody tell me if this will work fine with SuSe/Ubuntu/Fedora/any other distro? (i have to be sure): http://robinlinth.12gbfree.com/files/newpc/ (Ignore the parts between the ()'s, they are Dutch descriptions) [12:22] said that the files are 118 mb and will be 328 mb .........what is that? [12:23] edward, ok, and now I put the cursor at the start of localhost, coz localhost says localhokt atm [12:23] Arelis: it should, but just give it a try [12:23] is it possible to downgrade from hardy to another former version that works properly? [12:23] edward, and I push escape? [12:23] timr use kjhkl [12:23] kjhl [12:23] I did [12:23] that's up down left right [12:24] so put it before press esc and start inputting [12:24] before the text u wanna edit [12:24] edward__, in vim you can just use the arrow keys. [12:24] i used ntfs configuration tool to mount NTFS drives with certain names and now i want to change those names, how can i do this? [12:24] papat: 1:Download Iso 2: Burn Iso 3: Boot disk and install *former version that works properly [12:24] how to give one user root privilages? [12:24] it's easier to use hjkl (well for me) [12:24] skywalker: Those are package installation files (.deb) that will be downloaded to install Java, Flash, Audio/Video codecs, etc. [12:24] !sudo | dare [12:24] dare: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. [12:24] ok thanks man [12:24] skywalker: That one command will download and install *all* of them for you automatically. [12:24] edward, hischild, arrows easier 4 me, lol [12:24] lol ok [12:24] edward, so I managed to create a new line also [12:25] edward, so then localhost went on a new line [12:25] edward, and I deleted that line [12:25] hischild: but without typing sudo, just like root login? [12:25] !root | dare [12:25] dare: 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 [12:25] edward, so I am left with 127.0.0.1 [12:25] ok man thanks [12:25] edward, I hate this prorgam [12:25] dare, root access itself is achieved via sudo. [12:25] timr text based editors suck [12:25] can i hack or create a program into the linux ubuntu 8.04? [12:26] lol [12:26] to timr [12:26] sure you can [12:26] edward, ya, so uhm, yeah [12:26] skywalker, sure you can :) [12:26] hi [12:26] how man? [12:26] help! [12:26] just gotta be 1337 man [12:26] with terminal [12:26] ? [12:26] skywalker, what language do you know? [12:26] timr92, one you get used to vim, it's very easy to use. A simpler one is nano. [12:26] edward, lol. I have 127.0.0.1, and I need to put localhost after it [12:26] skywalker: What application do you wish to create and which languages do you wish to use for it? [12:26] python [12:26] question: i just installed drupal but having problem with folder cannot be created..how to fix this? [12:26] timr92, use nano. Move with arrows, type at cursor. ctrl x to quit. [12:26] hI :) [12:26] skywalker: Easy. Open a terminal and type 'python' without the quotes. [12:27] python will do everything [12:27] hischild, is nano on there by default and how do I exit this thing [12:27] skywalker: The rest should be familiar to you. Creating a python module and running it for instance. [12:27] help? [12:27] skywalker, python is installed by default. just start write python code with your favorite text editor, and here you go :) [12:27] exit vi using :q i think [12:27] !help [12:27] I am ubottu, the all-knowing infobot, standing in for ubotu while he's getting his haircut done, nose pwodered, updated and transitioned to his new gorgeus looks in the near future ;) [12:27] timr92, ctrl + x to quit. It'll ask to save or not. exit vi and vim by :wq! [12:27] timr won't save it [12:27] dare: go into system > admin > users, give root a password of your choice, then head into system > admin > login window and there should be an option under local for allowing local admin login, hope this helps [12:27] edward__, won't quit at all if there are changes. [12:27] and what about the hacking part [12:27] ? [12:27] edward, it says E37 bla bla bla [12:27] skywalker, depend of what you want to hack :) [12:28] How much disc space do I need free on a Dapper machine to upgrade it to Hardy? [12:28] hischild, I dont want to use sudo and to enter passwords, i want to be superuser, administrator. [12:28] edward, add ! to override [12:28] skywalker: apt-get source somepackage will get you the source for that package, then have fun [12:28] edward, so what do I do?? [12:28] others computers [12:28] Is anybody else downloading 8.04 through the update thing right now? Man it's slow. [12:28] skywalker, ha ha! :D [12:28] can ne 1 help me with psybnc [12:28] dare, you have to use sudo. You can set it to not require a password. [12:28] oh type in :q! [12:28] skywalker, to hack the another computer, just type sudo kill -9 -1 [12:28] Samuel, of course it's slow... ;-) [12:28] dare: sudo -s [12:28] that'll quit without saving according to the manual [12:29] case_, don't add useless suggestions please. [12:29] edward, I did :!q, and I think it did something good [12:29] so slow.... [12:29] dare: then use windows; there you are admin and free to shoot yourself in the foot ;) [12:29] how do I insert a tab in the shell (command line)? [12:29] anyone help me with an install problem - as in I install via the windows installer - reboot and ubuntu hangs at hald ?? [12:29] bak to the console?

[12:29] !help [12:29] I am ubottu, the all-knowing infobot, standing in for ubotu while he's getting his haircut done, nose powdered, updated and transitioned to his new gorgeous looks in the near future ;) [12:29] anyone: i've install drupal on my ubuntu but the folder need permission to be created..now my drupal cannot create some files..anyone know how to change the permission in ubuntu?? [12:29] I want to write foobar [12:29] hischild, his question is ridiculous, so is my answer. [12:29] edward, better now [12:29] !ask [12:29] 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. :-) [12:29] dare, why do you want to login as root? [12:29] edward, how to get to nano? [12:29] I am experiencing some weird problem: I am running 8.04 and I am trying to get my wireless connection to work. I have a pcmcia "option globetrotter fusion". Seems to be working. Wireless networks are scanned and detected as they should. I suspect a problem with the wpa_supplicant. any hint? [12:29] timr92, type :wq!

[12:30] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!

Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [12:31] If you can get this to play games it would be all over [12:31] hischild, just note i could have suggested a more dangerous command... [12:31] edward, lol [12:31] edward__, he is in recovery mode right? otherwise he can't save the file. [12:31] !permission [12:31] An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview [12:31] case_, you could, and you'd be banned by one of the ops most likely. [12:31] then what can he do [12:31] !msgthebot | shally87 [12:31] shally87: Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (type also /msg ubotu Bot). Don't use commands in the public channels if you don't know if they really exist. Also avoid adding joke/useless factoids. [12:31] thats a pretty bad idea dare [12:31] D45H: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsbAdslModem/SpeedTouch [12:31] hischild, probably. [12:31] edward__, reboot into recovery mode, fix the file, reboot, and done [12:31] dare: use sudo passwd root to enable the root account [12:31] ok [12:32] hack without ip ?

[12:32] edward, so much easier, lol [12:32] !sudo | skywalker [12:32] skywalker: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. [12:32] i just understood that dare wants to log in as root as default [12:32] hummesse, I know for root accaunt but can I convert my accaunt to root privilages my ID 1000 to ID of root [12:32] Pici: ok, i see [12:32] hummesse, yes [12:32] dare, no [12:32] so i have a wierd issue that i THINK is related to gdm. If i startx as root, the display loads and everything runs fine. If i use gdm or even kdm and then login, all my fonts are fubar.. everything is like massive, yet KDE reports the resolution is fine [12:32] edward, fixed it [12:33] i am drunk [12:33] which is such a bad idea dare [12:33] really really bad idea [12:33] i have drunkin beers [12:33] theres no need to login in to root by default You gain nothing by doing so. [12:33] skywalker, before "hacking" anything you have to learn how your system work, or you'll be a lame script kiddy for the rest of your life. [12:33] ok [12:33] beers are good [12:33] i like beers [12:33] dare: we are not going to help you do that... as you can see is channel policy. You will have to ask elesewhere [12:33] most programs (like xhcat) warns you whenever you try to start them as root [12:33] wtf samuel [12:33] i like flightof the concords [12:33] i think firefox too [12:33] Samuel, please go to #ubuntu-offtopic ok? [12:33] Samuel: Thats great, but this is a support channel, and if you are going to be offtopic I am going to have to ask you to leave or try to be normal in #ubuntu-offtopic [12:33] thanks anyway, dudez. Probably I'd better post to the forum. [12:33] edward, and so with that other stuff, would that be left behind from network-manager ? [12:33] its ok cause im from new zealand [12:33] skywalker, and i don't think you give "hacking" the meaning we give to it [12:33] hummesse,erUSUL, ok thanks [12:33] edward, I don't use network-manager, I use wicd [12:33] but you shouldnt like them [12:33] If you really could handle being 'root' then you really should know enough linux to know how to do it. :) [12:34] skywalker, and i hope nobody will give you advice how to do dirty things. [12:34] timr network manager? [12:34] edward, I had trouble with network manager and stuff. everything would be so slow when starting up when there's no wireless router present [12:34] lol @ samuel [12:34] hacking i mean to access to others pc linux or windows to get files or to add [12:34] !lol | haxor [12:34] haxor: Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. [12:34] timr i guess that means that it is scanning for one [12:35] skywalker: Thats the kind of thing we dont not condone here.

[12:41] !cli | skywalker I think this is what you are asking [12:41] skywalker I think this is what you are asking: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [12:41] yes i know, but want a regular expression to match that [12:41] papat: no. [12:41] papat, no.

Is there any way to fix this? [12:42] papat, think the only way you can do that would be doing a fresh install to the version you want [12:42] of course, I return home, Dr_willis , more work but it works [12:42] kbrooks, 'sharemydesktop' or somthing liek that. [12:42] skywalker, you have to learn how to use the shell, and that's not trivial [12:42] kbrooks, allmost all vnc compatible servers have their own java web client [12:42] jtravnick, that's not "downgrading" [12:42] !sound > skywalker (Please see the private messsage from ubotu) [12:42] skywalker, you can stat with trying "cd" , "ls" , "pwd" ... [12:42] kbrooks, try the host at port 5800 [12:43] anyone get compiz related hangs with their application? [12:43] Hello, using 8.04 lts on a core duo 2.4ghz 7600GS Nvidia, i've tried with the restricted drivers and now installed the latest drivers, dual monitors twinview enable video is choppy i've searched and tried a lot of methods but nothing seems to work (Players used: vlc, mplayer). [12:43] skywalker, and read the man (manual) pages about them, with the man command [12:43] skywalker, like : man ls [12:43] Fritzel, um, the default vnc client doesnt offer java [12:43] kbrooks, it is if your taking hardy off may not be a true downgrade but its a downgrade [12:43] Dr_willis, it's simply ridiculous that icons won't show in my Desktop [12:43] skywalker, and you have a long way to go, little padawan :D [12:43] skywalker, sorry, a long way to go you have, little padawan :)) [12:44] papat, no idea what your problem is. I just got here. I always remove icons on the desktop. [12:44] kbrooks, not a clue then sorry [12:44] I've got a small problem using libdca on ubuntu.. when I run it I get "dcadec: error while loading shared libraries: libdca.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory", but when I take a look the library file is there.. all permissions seem correct etc.. I just installed the library (compiled it myself, no errors etc).. do I have to do something to make my system aware of the newly created library files? [12:44] ikt: so i have to disable blinking in all text fields? o_O [12:44] case_: we are yoda of borg. futile resistance is. assimilate you we will. [12:44] :DD [12:44] my battery won't charge anymore since I upgraded to hardy...any ideas? [12:44] I do believe so, happy to be corrected [12:44] huzz did you try the ones in add\remove [12:45] haxor: what ones add/remove? [12:45] sound problems [12:45] hi..i know this isn't the right place to ask bout this. i just have some trouble running windows xp sp3 on virtualbox non-free. the file is .exe. is it bootable?if not how do i make bootable. need help pls. i have to have autocad on my desktop running ubuntu.. [12:45] this is making me crazy [12:45] solution? [12:45] i've got my system tweaked so perfectly works but the video is just choppy and i dunno what else to do [12:46] skywalker: did you read the links ubottu gave you? [12:46] i've disabled one of the monitors and tried it i've used different settings everything but just nothing works [12:46] ok sorry i do now [12:46] Hey all, I have a quick question about upgrading [12:46] adred, i think the sp3 has to be run like any other windows bug^g program, from windows itself, not booting on it... [12:46] hello! [12:46] huzz, disabled compiz? [12:46] is there anyway to copy a file from a linux machine to a windows machine using SSH? (im logging to the linux via windows2000 with putty) [12:46] Dr_willis: yes [12:47] everything [12:47] Tux2K8, winscp for windows - is a Must get . :) [12:47] Tux2K8: winscp [12:47] pretty much any ftp client will do sftp [12:47] over ssh [12:47] Tux2K8, there is a scp and sftp on the putty website... [12:47] Do I need to make a copy of my Home Folder somewhere before I upgrade or will the upgrade not overwrite it? [12:47] huzz there are some nvidia drivers in add\remove applications [12:47] hey everyone.. got Ubuntu 8.04 installed just fine, however, the dualboot with WinXP doesn't work. Even though WinXP was detected right and it's partition is available to me from within Ubuntu, attempting to dualboot into XP always starts the silly HP recovery function on hd0,1, even though hd0,0 is fine.. .any thoughts? [12:47] Marco, it won't overwrite it, but it's always a good idea to make a backup before upgrading... [12:47] haxor: tried the restricted as well as the latest drivers [12:48] Marco, always have a backup [12:48] installed them manually [12:48] thanks case_, also what about the things in my /opt dir? [12:48] huzz are the sli [12:48] they* [12:48] Marco, same answer [12:48] haxor: no [12:49] awsome, thanks case_. I appreciate the reassurance. [12:49] Marco, but do backups. a lot. always :) [12:49] i am just about at my wits end here [12:49] Will do. [12:49] its become so bad i am actually thinking of going back and trust me thats a horrible choice [12:49] Marco, don't come back crying if hardy brick your PC :) [12:49] case_ i dont get you sorry. the idea is i want to have sp3 as a guest OS on virtualbox. i already have other linux variants running as a guest. but i dont how with windows. anyone out there who has tried this? pls.. [12:50] adred, SP3 is just a program to upgrade you're windows XP. you have to install Windows XP, and then run SP3 from windows XP [12:50] adred, the service pack is not an OS in itself [12:51] ok [12:51] Help please. I'm having hardware issues in hardy and I'm trying to track down what is causing it exactly. My dvd-rw and cd-rom lock up and become unusable. This also causes elements of the system to lock up also. I believe I am lowering it down slowly but just need some help to nail it completely. I believe it to be either a driver issue or the kernel. I have tried 32bit and 64bit to rule out it being a 64bit issue, I [12:51] so ubuntu SP3 isn't out yet? [12:51] (ok ok, windows xp isn't an OS in itself neither ;p ) [12:51] * fiyawerx laughs [12:51] case_, its a upgrade to dos. :) [12:51] case_ ok thanks for the info. haha im so sorry :) [12:51] I've got a small problem using libdca on ubuntu.. when I run it I get "dcadec: error while loading shared libraries: libdca.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory", but when I take a look the library file is there.. all permissions seem correct etc.. I just installed the library (compiled it myself, no errors etc).. do I have to do something to make my system aware of the newly created library files? [12:51] Dr_willis, a downgrade you mean? dos was less memory consuming :) [12:52] case_, dos used 100% of my ram. :) [12:52] hi all is there a way to browse samba shares and windows shares with Thunar (or any other file manager)? [12:52] 16 bit direct access memory [12:52] stib, Thunar doesn't support samba browsing [12:53] stib: I think nautilus can do it.. poorly.. haven't used thunar so I wouldn't know about that [12:53] stib, there are stand alone samba browser but i can't remember the names [12:53] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=304131&highlight=xubuntu [12:53] huzz still here [12:53] How to: Xubuntu - Thunar Native Windows Network Browsing [12:53] stib, Nautilus has this feature, but i guess that if you're using Thunar, it's to avoid Nautilus :) [12:53] haxor: yes [12:53] stib: see that link, may still be good [12:54] huzz still thinking of your problem [12:54] I wonder if people try to look up answers on their own at all before hopping into irc to ask [12:54] case: yes, running xubuntu on a feeble old laptop. Gnome is too much for it [12:54] haxor: please let me know if you can come with anything [12:54] fiyawerx, short answer: no :) [12:54] chances are 99% of them have been asked and documented already [12:54] fiyawerx: thanks, I'll check it out [12:54] if they didn't ubuntu bot would be out of a job =o [12:54] well.... if this is the best linux has..

No.. people expect magical 1 click answers to amazingly-weird-and-complex problems. [12:55] fiyawerx: i google before asking [12:55] guess I will wait another 10 years [12:55] i feel like i could be replaced with a very small bash^W python script :) [12:55] fiyawerx: many people do no know hot to google efficiently. or they are simply lazy. sad but true.

[12:56] I was thinking the Emerald Theme repo was down the other day [12:57] what happened to emerald, what handles compiz themes? [12:57] well i guess since it seems my graphics is messed up.. and I tried to upgrade to 8.10 and that screwed up as well.. I am just gonna go with doing a fresh install [12:57] crash91, the only one I know works for sure (as its the onyl one i installed) is this one - http://themes.beryl-project.org/theme_details.php?id=65 [12:58] I can't believe updating could do this much damage :/ [12:58] i hope this is logged. hardy is a complete mess. and the fault lies squarely with the amateur muppets who "maintain" the packages. i used both feist and gutsy, with little complaint. i am going to ditch hardy, as soon as i line up a replacement [12:58] but if i click download, the option comes right up to open it with emerald theme manager, and it loads in fine [12:58] howdy all.. so i have a wierd issue that i THINK is related to gdm. If i startx as root, the display loads and everything runs fine. If i use gdm or even kdm and then login, all my fonts are fubar.. everything is like massive, yet KDE reports the resolution is fine [12:58] greetings everyone! I'm facing an error concerning my APT database. The error message states that it couldn't be opened and that it may be caused by incorrect APT configuration or similar problem. How can I go about fixing it? [12:59] huzz: try this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=221174 [12:59] maunykah_: do you have the verbatim error message? [12:59] maynykah, are you using desktop or server? [12:59] HI, I was wondering if anyone could quickly run me through on installing compiz on 8.04? :D [12:59] fiyawerx: cant see it, blank window [12:59] desktop, kubuntu 8.04 [12:59] INternat, users can have their own defined resolutions. - I forget what tool under kde/gnome sets it however. I always edit my xorg.conf to allow ONLY one res.

This may be caused by incorrect APT configuration or some similar problem. Try running apt-setup and apt-get update in terminal and see if it helps to resolve the problem. [12:59] Ok... [13:00] I tried apt-setup and nothing happened [13:00] crash91, if you run emerald-theme-manager from the console, do you see any errors there when you try to import at heme?

[13:01] sudo mayb [13:01] should I just restart to see if that fixes the problem? [13:01] Any idea why trying to boot into XP from Grub ends up in HP Pavilion's Windows repair mode instead of booting into XP? The Windows partition seems ok and I can access it just fine from within Hardy... [13:01] maunykah_: does "sudo apt-get install dpkg" work? [13:01] I'm going to try that Slart [13:02] crash91, try to cd into that directory, cd /home/crash/.emerald/themes [13:02] rrohde, probably choosing wrong parition? the HP repair partition is usually the first one [13:02] rrohde, Grub found the first XP looking it found, which was the recovery. Open a terminal [13:02] taomaster: sudo passwd or something similar [13:02] ls [13:02] oops [13:02] haha :p [13:02] it says dpkg is already the newest version [13:02] taomaster: but it's not recommended to use the root account.. be warned =) [13:02] ok.. terminal ready and waiting [13:02] :) [13:02] maunykah_: and "sudo apt-get install apt" [13:03] rrohde, Type "sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst" find the one titled XP, one second, I'm doing this at the same time... [13:03] !root | taomaster [13:03] taomaster: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password.

[13:05] maunykah_: well.. now I'm out of clever ideas.. you could try removing the apt database.. whereever that is located.. I don't know if will be rebuilt so I'd recommend some serious thinking before you do it [13:05] crash91, that would do it, the permissions [13:05] crash91: sudo tar -xf whatever [13:05] rrohde, You can edit it from grub, that would be quicker. When you're at grub, press e on the option for XP, and change it to hd(0,1) there, and so on, it won't save there, but that would be faster than booting and rebooting all the time [13:05] The minimize animation of metacity is very urgly.(bunch of black edge block) How can I turn it off?

[13:19] and anything is better than windoze, nearly [13:19] huzz: Are you using the Nvidia control panel application [13:19] hi, i'm new to ubuntu and have messed up my GUI ... maybe someone here able to help me ? [13:19] ikt: i switched to ubuntu when fedora 7 was broken. feisty and gutsy were ok. hardy is a disaster. the reason i am still here, is that it is not just me using hardy. i have a whole research team. and i am FED UP with the hassle and extra admin [13:19] tyeman, You should just have to share the folder with samba. [13:20] <_adriaan> Tyrion: what's the problem, exactly? [13:20] Tyrion, Do you get any gui or no? [13:20] Doesn't work... whenever I call WinXP from Grup (root (hd0,0)), it goes to hd0,1 and launches the HD recovery thingy.. :( [13:20] *Grub [13:20] gordboy, than why don't you use Gutsy instead? [13:20] problem with sudo / something when attempting sudo gedit program takes approx 5 mins to load, possible problem with pam from logs [13:20] Can someone help me with http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4861120 [13:20] rrohde, This is on another machine? [13:20] thank you bobbob1016 i will give a try [13:20] <_adriaan> gordboy: and what exactly is broken? I mean, everything works just fine here [13:21] i've install ubtuntu 8.04 Desktop Version out of the Box .. everything worked finde, until i tried to install custom desktop themes .. don't no what i exactly did wrong, but here's what's happening: [13:21] bobob1016 nope.. tried it all before :) [13:21] tyeman, There could be a permissions error though [13:21] Just looked through my notes again [13:21] so this occured because I installed limewire without installing the commercial or partner package? [13:21] bobbob1016 & Siph0n : because i upgraded all the machines already. and i am NOT spending more time and effort to gi back again. unless hardy improves dramatically, i am switching distros forever [13:21] can anyone help me with my RAID problem? my replacement RAID1 drive isn't bootable (only the original one is) [13:21] tyeman, It could have errors if the people connecting don't have a user name on the ubuntu server. [13:22] question: "sudo gedit" runs at snails pace, (incredibly, unusable slow). while all other systems run normally [13:22] i'm getting a login screen and can login (grapic login) .. but after that i'm only getting a empty window with a blank box ... gdm & x11 are running and when i start metacity manually the blank box gets a window skin ... [13:22] gordboy: if you want it to get better, file bugs... if you just want to vent some anger.. write a nasty mail to someone that is kind of responsible.. most people here are just users.. just like you [13:22] gordboy: what is the problem you're having witih hardy? [13:22] gordboy, from the way you switched from your other distros, i doubt you'll do anything forever [13:22] I removed ccsm and now its not appearing in synaptic :D [13:22] gordboy, no offense but you're not doing a very good job admining if you upgrade all the systems without testing it out first :/ [13:22] * fiyawerx nods [13:22] i see bobbob1016 bot they aren't run on any domainjust with group [13:22] tyler_roach: unacceptable extra admin due to broken packages. is the short answer [13:22] <_adriaan> ikt: don't encourage it, please. [13:23] sorry! [13:23] lol [13:23] Does anyone know how to set the size of the COPY/PASTE clipboard? It is a massive frustration for me because I often need to copy/paste LARGE text from one window to another and I cant, it gets cut off ? [13:23] * ikt hides [13:23] gordboy: if you want support for actual issues, feel free to ask specific questions. don't rant here [13:23] gordboy, First off, I think this would be better for #ubuntu-offtopic, since this channel is for help. There are some known issues with hardy that are being fixed. Getting mad at us won't help. [13:23] rrohde, I'm not sure then, sorry. [13:23] I dont get these hardy issues, I've done a ton of machines with very little issue, just read beforhand and know what to expect [13:23] yes, well I need help [13:23] did maynykah fix the apt issue? [13:23] dont know if i'd upgrade important machines this soon after a release either, in general, always too paranoid [13:23] I uninstall compiz advanced thing, and now I can't reinstall [13:23] ikt: I don't know.. haven't heard anything from him in a while [13:23] ikt: no offence, but if you can't even spell "offence" .... [13:23] <_adriaan> Tyrion: Not sure whether I can help with that, sorry [13:23] bobbob1016 trying to set the boot flag on sda1 [13:24] brb [13:24] Anyone able to assist me with a wireless issue? I'm running 64 bit 8.04 with the AR5007EG, it can see the WiFi networks.. yet is unable to acquire a network address.. It worked before I attempted to auto-mount a NTFS drive, which I reverted to it's default state after. Using ndiswrapper to load the XP-64 drivers. [13:24] uh oh spelling nazi alret ;) [13:24] I cant spell either [13:24] question: "sudo gedit" runs at snails pace, (incredibly, unusable slow). while all other systems run normally. any advice on how to debug? It's so bad that I cannot save an edited config file. [13:24] gordboy, You could also state your problem... offense is spelled with an s not a c [13:24] Wobe: don't use "nazi" that lightly danke [13:24] bobbob1016: BULLSHIT [13:24] !language | gordboy [13:24] gordboy: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [13:24] Tm_T: sorry was using it in the meme sense, nothing else [13:25] It's actually spelled that way man [13:25] oga, gksu gedit maybe [13:25] oga: technically, you should use gksudo gedit, not sudo. [13:25] oga: that's odd, and other editors are working normally? [13:25] fucking morons who can't even spell, let alone run a help channel, that is constantly crowded cos the distro is falling apart. WHAT A FUCKING DUMP [13:25] offence, offense.. american vs brittish I think.. but it's !ot [13:25] gordboy, Both are correct according to spellcheck.net [13:25] huzz: did you try this one http://www.ubuntugeek.com/dual-monitors-with-nvidia.html [13:25] yay, gordboy left [13:25] bye bye gordboy [13:26] what's difference with gksu and gksudo? [13:26] hmm, maybe someone other is able to help me ? the probleme is the same as mentioned here: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-544146.html .. but i'm using a ATI card [13:26] Anyone know where I can get my hands on a library I can use for reading encrypted DVDs? [13:26] Zombine: the dvd css thingy? [13:26] !dvd [13:26] For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs [13:26] timr92, I am pretty sure they are both the same [13:26] gksudo is for when you want to run a graphical apllication, sudo is from the command line. [13:26] *yawn* [13:26] Slart: Yes. Thanks :D [13:26] timr92: something about the way it sets up the enviroment I think.. check the man page for details [13:27] timr92 tyler_roach using gksu nothing loads (or it might just be taking forever because now i don't have terminal feedback [13:27] siph0n, ok then. and anyone know why dvd's won't work 4 me when I've got the restricted extras and whatever.. do I need other stuff? [13:27] oga, that's funny, that's what was happening with my prob b4 [13:27] kinda [13:27] ok would adding the restricted packages help resolve my apt database error? [13:28] oh no wonder xrandr doesn't work with fglrx... ati has it's own way of doing graphics setup with aticonfig.. [13:28] timr92, ok just confirmed it, the man pages for gksu and gksudo are the same :) [13:28] timr92 try terminal sudo gedit and see if you replicate [13:28] Tyrion: can you use ubuntu paste to show the xorg.conf [13:28] haxor: checking out the link now [13:28] oga, mines fixed now though [13:28] !gksudo | oga [13:28] oga: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [13:29] oga, I do gksu gedit, and it asks 4 password, straight away [13:29] @wobe: no .. i'm chatting from a other box ... the network is also not working anymore :( (worked fine bevor without configuration [DHCP]) [13:29] hello, may I know about mount? what mean is utf8 0 0 or utf8 0 2 this 0 0 or 0 2 mean?

[13:29] oga, b4 I was getting errors about the hostname [13:29] oga, but that might have been with sudo [13:30] i've some few are interesting, i can copy them manually [13:30] Tyrion: can you get into X at all on that other machine? [13:30] timr92, sudo and gksudo both ask for your normal password. [13:30] hischild, I know [13:30] I can't open gnome, I'm writting in KDE [13:30] the other maschine is WinXP [13:30] maunykah_: can you paste your /etc/apt/sources.list? not here. in pastebin [13:30] hansheng: man fstab, also http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html [13:30] timr92 i might have those problems also but i stopped worrying once my wifi was working.... Problem is after password has been entered. [13:30] hischild, oga asked me to replicate, whatever that ment, lol, and uh when I had the probs with the hosts, it wouldn't do anything with gksu [13:30] anyone have a clue as to why my number pad is no longer working? And don't say numlock that would be insulting [13:30] thanks [13:31] timr92, i see. I can explain the entire situation if needed. [13:31] soulc: i usually have to turn numlock off and then back on for it to work after startup [13:31] even tho numlock is on [13:31] where is the pastebin? Sorry I don't remember and does it matter that I have already tried to delete some lines?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [13:32] didn't work.. hd0,0 gets a "disk read error" [13:32] even though I can mount it just fine under Ubuntu [13:32] the messed up one starts X11 and gdm [13:32] CapaH: still having clip board problems? I just tried a little copy pasting.. I don't know how large texts you use but I just copied and pasted a 115 MB text file without any problems...but I'm still using gutsy.. perhaps it's a hardy thing [13:32] Anyone here knowledgeable on WiFi issues per chance? [13:32] CapaH, how much ram do you have? [13:32] Tyrion: I suggest trying envy, then working from there [13:32] timr92, i see. If he has trouble with sudo, perhaps i can help out. [13:32] !anyone | Solusian [13:32] Solusian: 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? [13:32] what's nevy ? [13:33] !envy [13:33] envy is an unsupported tool to install newer versions of binary video drivers than provided by the official repositories. Use at your own risk, and remember that the latest version is not necessarily the "best". See « /msg ubotu binarydriver » [13:33] envyNG is in the repos though [13:33] what the bot says :) [13:33] you can use that quite safely [13:33] ok here it is: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9467/ [13:33] Myrtti: I did, though I didn't get any responses like that. [13:33] hischild yes i am, "sudo gedit" means that program runs ***incredibly slow (like memory overload). timr92 suggested possible problem due to editing hostname (which i did manually through network settings). gksu / gksudo don't seem to work either. [13:33] ok thx [13:33] I had some problems on my laptop with using sudo after upgrading to hardy.. something about not being able to resolv the hostname.. I never got around to fixing that.. [13:33] Tyrion: I find that using envy usually sets things up right, and if not at least get's you a bit closer [13:34] isn't envyng now included in hardy? [13:34] Hey guys [13:34] i can't go beyond 800x600 on my FRESH hardy 32 bit install... geforce 7300 512MB , 2GB RAM... tried envy and installing the package from nvidia website too... still doesn't work.. nvidia settings manager gives a "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver.

[13:34] :D hischild, I had funny probs with sudo and gksu, but yeah, oga's prob obviously aint that anymore [13:34] Slart: it's in the repo's but not installed by default [13:34] babolat: with all sudo commands [13:34] lenovo laptop suspend issue some times with ubuntu 8.04 ? [13:35] ok, but my other problem, that i can't get network access (anymore) prevents me from using/installing envy ... but because i'm using a DHCP i'm assuming this is only a question of the right commands to get it started ? [13:35] timr92 i'm not sure, i am having a funny problem with sudo [13:35] Wobe: ah.. well.. at least that makes it a little bit accepted =) [13:35] yeah tried that no go [13:35] Hello guys. Anyone here has any experience with ndiswrapper and wicd ? [13:35] oga, well do you get an error about hostname when you try use sudo? [13:35] Well uh, i was wondering if you guys could help me with the menu bar?

[13:36] hello. I'm installing Stage and it says: WARNING: A suitable GTK+ was not found. GTK+-2.4 or later is required [13:36] timr92 nope, no relation then. [13:36] babolat: Sorry. [13:36] oga, and my probs were with all administrative apps, I still think I'm too nooby to help coz you are prob is diff to mine [13:36] num lock ligh goes on and off no diff I have changed the keyboard type nothing [13:36] tyler_roach yep.... [13:36] tyler_roach only user on pc [13:36] It appears the copy/paste issues i have only exist on TERMINAL -- using the terminal app [13:37] Slart: care to shoot me with the prompt you get again?

[13:38] oga, i see. Well, it might have much to do with the hostname as it is important with it. Do you use a domain or workgroup with it? [13:38] I use the clunky ibm type keyboard with the springy keys [13:38] tyler_roach upgrade 7.04=>7.10=>8.04 [13:38] timr92, yes [13:38] !bot [13:38] I am ubottu, the all-knowing infobot, standing in for ubotu while he's getting his haircut done, nose powdered, updated and transitioned to his new gorgeous looks in the near future ;) [13:38] lol [13:38] that's hilarious [13:38] babolat: sure.. let me power up the laptop [13:38] the bot thing [13:38] the lines that I had deleted first contained something about canonical partner [13:38] dishayu, Not sure if someone else helped you yet, but System->Administration->Hardware Drivers, then just click "enable" for the nvidia driver. It should install the driver. [13:38] oga this problem started after the upgrade? [13:39] Slart: please do ;) [13:39] So my problem is: I just installed ndiswrapper and wicd, but I can`t see no wifi connection in wicd. If i do "ifconfig", it shows me my eth1, also the ndiswrapper module is loaded. And I don`t have any clue on how to connect to my wifi router or even check if my wifi connection actually works. Any suggestion ? [13:39] hischild i have smb installed but not used for a long time dont' remember workgroup settings [13:39] hischild just about to dig around in smb conf [13:39] How can i set a disk to automount at startup? [13:39] bobbob1016 : LOL, do you think i didn't try it already?? that was the 1st thing i did... [13:39] oga, it's only important whether you've added the workgroup to the hostname in /etc/hosts. [13:39] crash91: edit fstab [13:39] maunykah_: everything looks fine except for lines you removed. don't remove lines just comment them out using #. have you run sudo apt-get update lately?

Programs should still run though. Some people have issues with Hardy though, so maybe waiting a bit would help. [13:43] with the exception of ushare [13:44] how could i download all the .vim files from http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~maverick/VimColorSchemeTest/index-c.html?

[13:44] tyler_roach yep, but i'm going to stuff around for a bit and see what i can get going, maybe problems with /etc/hosts as I manually changed user-desktop.(something) to user-desktop as part of debugging wifi (which is now working) [13:44] babolat: ahh.. just found something new.. it works if I'm connected to internet.. if I'm not I get "sudo: unable to resolve host markus-laptop" [13:44] georgesa: firefox+downthemall or a wget sctipt [13:44] georgesa: get DownthemAll for firefox and [13:44] guys, whats the apache process user in CentOS ?

[13:54] fiyawerx: Those are the open source alternatives, but they don't work for most sites on the net. [13:54] anyone help me with an install problem - as in I install via the windows installer - reboot and ubuntu hangs at hald ?? [13:54] fde: i can't get the test on java.com to work [13:54] there is something wrong with my x server [13:54] ii icedtea-gcjwebplugin [13:54] longtime ubuntu users, first time irc chatter [13:54] also 3 ii's for icedtea [13:54] I bought and samsung lm32, a 32 inch tv, Im using the vga cable to conect it to my pc, the problem is that i can't get ubuntu to detect it or to give me the option to tell it the screen resolution "1360x768" [13:54] mystic: hald?

[13:56] Slart: congrats :) [13:56] hi [13:56] I need some partitioning advice [13:56] could someone please help with my raid issue? :*( [13:56] I've got a 500 GB hdd [13:56] !ask | chell [13:56] chell: 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. :-) [13:56] frank_: whats up? [13:56] babolat: thanks for the help [13:56] how much should I use for /, swap and /home [13:56] Hey guys, I'm worried about memory consumption [13:56] Slart: np [13:56] it scans whats connected i beleave babolat [13:56] So I checked top, and I have 11 of these: 4831 root 154112 kB /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start [13:56] fde: that wants to remove ubuntu-restricted-extras, also netbeans, along with some other stuff [13:56] So do I have 11 of those? [13:56] when i try to remove openjdk [13:56] I was planning to use 40 GB for /, 6 GB for swap (got 4 GB RAM) and the rest for /home [13:56] So why do* [13:57] Swap space should be totla system ram multplied by 4 [13:57] hi fde and others: i can't get synaptec to look for packages; i assume this is because of the proxy server here at work. any ideas? [13:57] chell: make / no smaller than 5gigs... swap should be 2gigs... /home is whatever you plan to use for your stuff... [13:57] okay, so 10 GB for / should suffice? [13:57] bogey-: what!? [13:57] mystic: and this happened when u tried to install via Wubi? [13:57] frank_: Settings > Preferences > Network tab is set correctly? [13:57] chell: yes [13:57] babolat: Thanks for the link, but that doesn't address the issue sadly. [13:57] !xmms [13:57] Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based). Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine - See also !codecs [13:57] bogey-, usually you have 1½ times total system ram [13:57] chell: i assume you are doing a separate partition for /home and for /usr [13:58] ccess [13:58] could i ask someone a question about [13:58] babolat yes it does [13:58] bogey-: just a separate one for /home [13:58] not for /usr [13:58] fde: thanks, removing the old ones did it, that was a pain [13:58] fde: yes [13:58] chell: ok [13:58] Solusian: i thought so. even the guys who reported those bugs didnt get very far anyways [13:58] bogey-: by the way, should I use a separate one for /usr [13:58] chell: 1.5 times system ram is in adequate under heavy use. Remember that when linux runs out of VM it stops running. [13:58] how do i install xmms or audacious on ubuntu hardy? [13:58] fiyawerx: ahh... it shouldn't... you're doing it via 'sudo apt-get remove ' not synaptic or aptitude? [13:58] hah, actually.. the test on java.com now says "You are using a newer version of JRE than the current version available on java.com" [13:58] i am patient .... [13:58] Anr: apt-get install xmms [13:59] mystic: could u give me the error line that u got? [13:59] Im having X problems. When i log in all is see is a black desktop with awn at the bottom could someone help me solve this? [13:59] bogey-: I've got 4 GB of RAM, how big should I make my swap? [13:59] fiyawerx: yay... ignore my last message then... congrats :) [13:59] I bought and samsung lm32, a 32 inch tv, Im using the vga cable to conect it to my pc, the problem is that i can't get ubuntu to detect it or to give me the option to tell it the screen resolution "1360x768" How can I put this resolution [13:59] fde: not sure if i understand you [13:59] random thought ... it seems audacious is finally stable, ver 1.5.0 - im happy with it... old version use to crash a lot ! [13:59] can i private msg you? [13:59] no error just hangs on that [13:59] chell: i would make it min of 8gb [13:59] audacious > xmms [13:59] babolat: It did work perfectly fine before messing with the auto mounting of the NTFS drive though [13:59] frank_: hmm... you're using manual config? [13:59] fde: http://pastebin.ca/1004936 [13:59] i enetered the proxy in my network settings [13:59] Hi! [13:59] over the gui you suggested [14:00] chell, you don't need swap [14:00] you would never try to run anything that takes 5 times you system ram. [14:00] ok here is the update: the error message is still there [14:00] fiyawerx: yeah... don't use aptitude ... it'll remove suggests too. [14:00] I configure my sound card with alsaconf in Debian, how can I do this on Ubuntu? [14:00] starting hardware abstraction layer hald and nothing [14:00] chell, you can make it 1gb to be safe if you want [14:00] Solusian: hmmm... can't get it though. automounting hasnt anything to do with it right? but try it anyways.. nothing to lose. [14:00] fiyawerx: just do sudo apt-get remove [14:00] AnRkey_: I'm using 32 bit Ubuntu though, so I won't be able to use all of my RAM [14:00] (but 32 bit is just more compatible in terms of flash, etc) [14:00] Yeah, I reinstalled 8.04 two times yesterday. It worked perfectly fine the second time with everything I needed installed. [14:00] 32bit supports up to 4gb [14:00] what partitioning tool do you guys recommend for ubuntu? I have some free space (lots) on my laptop, I want to create new partitions... ran out of space ;) [14:00] Then when I went for the auto-mounting it just stopped working. [14:01] anyone got a wired Mighty Mouse working before? [14:01] Right now KwifiManager is saying that it cannot find the access point [14:01] cosminb: cfdisk, oer, er, gnuparted [14:01] fiyawerx: aptitude is awesome... for 95% of use cases... the other 5, it's a pain unless you know what you're doing [14:01] MrFawkes: thanks [14:01] maunykah_: i think this will help http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=164612 [14:01] mmm [14:01] so [14:01] cosminb: oer, er <- me stammering, btw [14:01] fde: any clue why neatbeans needs openjdk? [14:01] what would you guys recommend [14:01] on a 500 GB drive [14:01] mrfawkes: what partiton manager does the ubuntu installer use [14:01] chell: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [14:01] fde: Reading package lists... Done [14:01] Building dependency tree [14:01] how do i install xmms or audacious on ubuntu hardy? [14:01] the netbeans package won't install without it it seems [14:01] i found gparted not as handy as that one [14:01] Reading state information... Done [14:01] 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. [14:02] frank_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [14:02] separate /, /home? [14:02] which is a little silly if you have sun jdk [14:02] separate /usr? [14:02] Oh well, going to reinstall. Bye [14:02] AnRkey_: sudo apt-get install audacious [14:02] MrFawkes: lol, I was gonna search for those :)) [14:02] bobolat thats all it does nothing else no errors just hangs [14:02] mystic is what u get "Booting 'find /wubi/boot/grub/menu.lst'" ? [14:02] bazhang, it's broken [14:02] rym: no idea, really, since i didn't use it at all [14:02] fiyawerx: it is the current alternative providing java [14:02] Ah [14:02] bazhang, the package that is [14:02] fde: yeah but shouldn't netbeans be able to use either that or sun jdk? [14:03] oh my gosh it works!!! Thanks soooo much! [14:03] and xmms was removed up stream [14:03] bazhang: hi again [14:03] Is there any way to see what is accessing my harddrive? My HDD is constantly be accessed. [14:03] what does this error mean in UBUNTU: ACPI Exception (acpi_processor-0681): AE_NOT_FOUND, Processor Device is not present [20060707] [14:03] so my options with this are either have netbeans installed, or have a working java plugin [14:03] heh [14:03] fiyawerx: update-alternatives --list java [14:03] wonder if i install netbeans, let it install openjdk, then remove jdk again [14:03] nope goes through all the boot up and i can see it then gets to "starting hardware abstraction layer hald" and hangs [14:03] rever: man lsof [14:03] rever: check with SysMon? [14:03] maunykah_: debtags worked? [14:03] fiyawerx: you'll need sun-java6-bin installed to use netbeans still [14:03] its installed [14:04] yes it worked perfectly legend2440=) [14:04] thanks so much!! [14:04] what does this error mean in UBUNTU: ACPI Exception (acpi_processor-0681): AE_NOT_FOUND, Processor Device is not present [20060707] [14:04] maunykah_: ok good [14:04] it was apt-get that wanted to install openjdk again with netbeans [14:05] how hide xchat-gnome to sys tray ?

[14:06] fde: thanks, that did the trick, guess i just need to settle for having openjdk installed [14:06] fiyawerx: yup... now it should accept removal of openjdk/icedtea stuff [14:06] oh [14:06] nope [14:06] still wants to uninstall netbeans [14:07] babolat : thats all that happens so i cannot even get it to boot [14:07] elektronik123456: right click xchat in systray and click hide [14:07] hi. I have seen this before with Debian, but the same happens now with an IBM xSeries 456: I boot up Ubuntu 8.04 server and it fails to mount the CD, reporting hardware failure. I've seen this happen on other IBM boxes. any idea why this happens? [14:07] fiyawerx: then I'm confused... I don't use netbeans... but you'd think suns software would play nice with other sun software... heh [14:07] How can I manually configure an IP address and connect to a wireless network that does not use WEP or WPA? [14:07] fde: it does, somehow the netbeans package is linked to the openjdk [14:07] maybe incorrectly set as a dependency somewhere [14:07] bogey-: you mean the command line?

[14:14] bogey-: no, i log in and then i get a black desktop. [14:15] it's probably a second or third tier depend [14:15] _adriaan: the depends state you can use openjdk OR sun-java6 packages.

[14:50] ikonia, ah i see what you mean.. i didn't put the partion numbers [14:50] demonspork: many thanks though [14:51] My first couple of shutdowns on a hardy upgrade worked fine.. now it hangs. Any way to fix this? [14:51] demonspork: the main problem I've had with my fresh install of Hardy was that it got the Grub settings wrong! :P [14:51] hooer: yeah, you need a partition (remember - type fd) rather than the device [14:51] How can I get Nokia 6280 to work with Ubuntu via USB cable? [14:51] ikonia, yep. i can see the info now. not sure whatto look for to help my problem tho :P [14:51] hello. I think I must have destroyed my gdm theme and now I can't fix it :/ [14:51] RandomCake, I haven't had gutsy install grub for me, I have another partition that I use for grub and I just add things into there when I need them [14:52] bazhang: do i just put the resolution and bitrate in quotes next to it? [14:52] I want to know how to change the color of the tooltip at the gdm-login screen... does anyone know how to do this? [14:52] hooer: well as long as your devices have a super block on, that should all be fine [14:52] bazhang: refresh rate** sorry :P [14:52] Hi, my nautilus on Hardy still shows thumbnail/preview on file larger than 5mb, even though i have set the preference not to cache thumb larger than 5mb in both nautilus and gconf. Any fix for this? [14:52] this is my loginscreen after installing xubuntu: http://www.pici.se/258256/ what can I do about that? [14:52] idyllic, did you restart? [14:53] ikonia, yeh they're fine in normal boot, just wish i could boot with either drive failed :/ [14:53] crash91: well the xorg is a bit different; dont totally have all the ins and outs of it myself--worth a try though [14:53] Scunizi: haha I used for a week. [14:53] bazhang: is this line better? modeline "640x480@60""1280x800@60" 25.2 640 656 752 800 480 490 492 525 -vsync -hsync [14:53] crash91: the xorg for hardy I mean [14:53] Scunizi: i mean ya i restarted daily [14:53] fisfia, what graphics card do you have? [14:54] hi guys. ive a little question. does dvdrom drive alweys also cdrw drive or not perse? plz, ty. Have a nice day! :) [14:54] crash91: what are you trying to accomplish now? [14:54] demonspork: dont know what do I write i the shell to see? [14:54] crash91: under monitor and likely screen need "1280x800@60" [14:54] idyllic, that's my only idea.. I think there's an update to nautilus coming.. I saw it in proposed repos.. don't know if it will fix this or not. [14:55] bazhang: nothing to suggest? i'll try fully overwriting the xorg.conf with nvidia X server settings, hopefully that'll fix it up [14:55] bazhang: 1024/768 is more safe [14:55] hooer: I've never seen a mirror fail as yours is doing [14:55] ndo - let me be the first to say.. that made No sence. [14:55] hooer: it should either work - or fail with a more helpful error [14:55] ikonia, same as this -> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=149988 [14:55] hooer: reading [14:55] ok [14:56] I've noticed on some of my computers running firefox 3 beta 5, I have an "undo close tab" option if I right click on my tab bar, yet some installs don't seem to have this... is it an option somewhere? [14:56] Oink A Doink [14:56] how do i change a different user's folder and its subsequent contents? [14:56] waistless the new xorg has me a bit baffled--doing some reading on it now [14:56] ikonia, should i recreate the problem and type the error message down? [14:56] babolat, change what exactly ? [14:56] hooer: I think I may have something [14:56] bogey-: it works in failsafe gnome...should i try and logout to see whether normal gnome works? [14:56] ikonia: any hope ? [14:56] Dr_willis: sorry.. its permissions [14:56] hey i just installed ubuntu desktop on mint by accident is there anyway i can uninstall al the applications that came with it [14:56] how do I tell if a system is 32b or 64b installed ? [14:57] how can I set my TV out (nvidia) to be the only X Display? [14:57] hooer: when you did root (hd0,0) style setup on the raid disks, did you use the same "root" on both ? [14:57] LordMorgoth: not yet, [14:57] crash91: at your own risk [14:57] LordMorgoth: I'll get to you though [14:57] I got WINE...... how do i open this... OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i got a folder [14:57] ikonia: k dude thanks [14:57] Barnose: calm down [14:57] bogey-: :) [14:57] how do I tell if a system is 32b or 64b installed ? [14:57] Barnose: winecfg in the terminal [14:57] LordMorgoth: sorry, busy channel, you in the queu though [14:57] uname -a [14:57] hwilde: uname -a [14:57] ikonia, i first created it in the installer. i created the volume /dev/md0 and mounted it as root. is that what you mean? [14:57] ikonia: no problema :) [14:57] demonspork: what shall I write in the shell to know the graphics card? [14:57] ikonia, Linux rugrat-desktop 2.6.20-16-generic #2 SMP Tue Feb 12 05:41:34 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux [14:58] hooer: , no when you put the replacment disk you re-install grub yes/no [14:58] ikonia, which part of that says 32bit or 64bit [14:58] hwilde: 32bit [14:58] hwilde: the i686 [14:58] hrmph stupid ircn wont hide the joins and parts. [14:58] ikonia, what would it say if 64b [14:58] hwilde: i686 [14:58] Dr_willis: oke, i was thinking the same when ive already pushed enter. :D but.. i'll try agane. If u have a dvdrom drive, is it also the cdrw drive included perce, or not? like it only reads dvds/cds and still cant write anything. i hope this is more sensable. :) [14:58] Whree is the WINE exe file? [14:58] ikonia, it was lilo, but yes i did type lilo and it said it had modified both disks, so i thought that was it?

[15:00] ikonia, i still don't know whether it worked or not doing lilo, but surely it must have done something otherwise the replacement disk wouldn't even start loading Lilo at all [15:00] can you help me?

Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [15:00] hooer: from a grub point of view you have 3 disks, 2 physical disks and 1 meta device. [15:00] ðóññêèé òóò ïîíèìàþò? [15:00] ok [15:00] bogey-: thanks.. it's home > user2 > music [15:00] hooer: the meta device is of no interest to grub - despite initrd and all that [15:01] Myrtti: He's +b just no one really explained why, so I thought I'd tell him. [15:01] babolat: who do you want to be able to access it? [15:01] Dr_willis: ty, thats logical. But if im looking for a cheap sollution. And i want to look for a dvd rom drive instead of dvdrw drive. do i have to be looking for dvd rom + cd rw in one or just any dvd rom knowing it already is able to write cds. thats what im asking myself. :) [15:01] hooer: grub will read from the physical disk [15:01] hooer: follow so far [15:01] bogey-: muyself [15:01] yep [15:01] just the MBR tho? [15:01] hooer: actually, thats not true, it will read the boot data from the physical disk, but use the boot file system from the meta device [15:01] hooer: exactly, just he mrb and in grubs case (not lilo) the menu.lst [15:01] yeh ok that makes sense [15:01] hooer: with me ? [15:01] hooer: ok great. [15:02] hooer: so a normal grub setup on a raid disk would be 2 grub install, one on eacvh mbr. [15:02] yep [15:02] babolat: ok the simple answer is chmod -R 777 /home/user2/music the complex answer is to create a group and put yourself and user2 in the group and do a chgrp mygroup /home/user2/music [15:02] hooer: however the "root" and "setup" options for grub would change as you don't want the mbr on disk 2 looking for the boot partition on disk 1, as if disk1 is dead - it's a pointless boot [15:02] hooer: yes ? [15:02] babolat: i forget the sudo [15:02] Dr_willis: i guess ive already founded the wight answer, there are dvd/cd only readers to. :) [15:03] babolat: sudo chown.... sudo chgrp.... [15:03] bogey-: ok.. trying it now [15:03] hang on.. [15:03] Other than a reinstall, it there another way to fix Hardy's shutdown freeze? [15:03] hooer: (remeber this is just grub, not lilo [15:03] ah i see [15:03] ooh i see where this is going... maybe :P [15:04] hooer: ok, so for disk one your grub install would be (example) hd0 for setup and hd0,1 for root [15:04] and then hd1 for setup and hd1,0 for root on disk 2 [15:04] hooer: now lilo is different as it writes everything to the MBR [15:04] ah [15:04] this is my loginscreen after installing xubuntu: http://www.pici.se/258256/ what can I do about that? [15:04] hooer: however the data that lilo writes is basiclly the same data as grub wants, but hard coded into the mbr, hence every change requires a lilo -v [15:04] https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/30768 Scunizi this may be of interest [15:05] -v being/ [15:05] Thans bazhang [15:05] ? [15:05] bogey-: i get No such file or directory.. i'm putting in the right directory i think [15:05] hooer: I'm wondering if the boot sector on mbr disk2, actually contains pointers for disk1 [15:05] hooer: verbose [15:05] hooer: think of lilo as hardcoded grub options [15:05] yeh that would probably explain the weird behaviour [15:05] babolat: ok, uhm, cd to the directory you want to change and type in pwd and tell me the output [15:05] hooer: does it make sense what I'm saying [15:05] yep definately [15:05] bogey-: doing :) [15:05] hooer: more so for raid as the lilo.con will be only 1 file [15:06] http://nancib.wordpress.com/2008/04/29/is-ubuntu-freezing-when-you-try-to-quit-i-have-a-probable-solution-for-you/ Scunizi this might help as well [15:06] bogey-: can't cd either ?@#$? [15:06] so i need to find out what lilo is doing [15:06] hooer: my personal opinion (just an opinion) is this behaviour is due to lilo using a shared hardcoded liilo.conf for both disks [15:06] bogey-: are directories Caps sensitive? [15:06] well the conf file seems to be really basic. i guess the problems are in the MBR as you say? [15:07] hooer: yes, the info gets written to the mbr staticlly, rather than dynamiclly [15:07] bogey-: oh.. so they ARE caps sensitive [15:07] hooer: hence the need for a lilo after each kernel change for example [15:07] babolat: yes they are :) [15:07] hooer: where as grub is dynamic from teh menu.lst === evo is now known as evolvedlight [15:07] ...which is not stored in MBR [15:07] babolat: is your matter now resolved? [15:07] hooer: exactly ! === MTeck is now known as MTecknology [15:08] bazhang, thanks.. I'll give those a try.. irritating issue.. fortunatly /home is on a separate partition. [15:08] hooer: which grub would have 3 copies of, 1 shared on the meta device and the 2 exact copies on the physical disks that grub would read from [15:08] bogey-: yeah.. figured that out.. hehe... it's figured out.. thanks [15:08] Scunizi: always a wide partition move [15:08] hooer: do you see where I'm going with this ? [15:08] Scunizi: couple of launchpad bugs as well if you are interested [15:08] yep [15:08] babolat no problem [15:08] hooer: perfect [15:08] What do I want to use for an SSH key? RSA or DSA? [15:08] MTecknology: your call, dsa is more supported these days [15:08] yo [15:08] ikonia, maybe it'd be easier to replace lilo with grub rather than decipher what lilo is doing? [15:09] is there any specific package I can remove that will remove all the kde apps installed by accident when I installed the kde package? [15:09] ikonia, aaside from supported, what's the dif? [15:09] How can I get Nokia 6280 to work with Ubuntu via USB cable? [15:09] hooer: thats how I'd do it, it's been a while since I used lilo with raid, but I do remember a few issues with it [15:09] i have some problems with audacious cueplugin? it doesn't read any cue... anyone knows why? [15:09] secret [15:09] MTecknology: different encyption patterns [15:09] !hi | schitzo [15:09] schitzo: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [15:09] ikonia, i mean, is there much difference as far as performance or security? [15:10] MTecknology: performance - well, it's a hardcoded file, no. Security, not really it may take 30001 years to break dsa rather than 29999 to do rsa [15:10] lol [15:10] ty [15:10] ikonia, thanks heaps for that.. i couldn't find anything similar on teh webs :p [15:10] hooer: no problem, I use raid a lot so I'm happy to spend time with you on this, lilo + raid = rare these days so I can't see you finding much data [15:11] hooer: I'm working from memory on the lilo options so hence why I'm slow putting this together [15:11] ikonia, is there many danger points to installnig grub? can i just apt-get install and verify the config [15:11] ikonia, Is there any way to encrypt RAID? [15:11] Fritzel: sadly no; let me find a link for you [15:12] ikonia, or do I need LVM for that? [15:12] hooer: I can't see any danger points, install it, then do 2 manual installs to the boot sector of each disk [15:12] MTecknology: no, you can encypt raid, you don't need lvm [15:12] MTecknology: just think of it as a disk device [15:12] MTecknology: works exactly the same [15:12] http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome Fritzel [15:12] ikonia, How do I set that up then? I don't recall seeing an option for that in the installer [15:12] bazhang, it's not super important but I went from having a nice limited number of applications in my menus to not being able to find anything, just once I want to install the dev package when I intend to [15:12] bazhang, thank you [15:13] MTecknology: Ii assume your using software raid ? [15:13] ikonia, ya [15:13] Fritzel: I understand; having kde3 kde4 and gnome here [15:13] MTecknology: I think you have to do it post install [15:13] MTecknology: my personal view is there is no real reason to encypt root file systems unless your working in a major finaicial institute [15:13] MTecknology: but I can appricaite say a /home directory [15:14] bobolat: its not wubi that crashes its after Ubuntu install - I reboot to get it to boot into Ubuntu - I see the splash screen and then it hangs when it gets to "Starting abstraction layer hald" and wont go any further ??? or anyone else [15:14] here we go.... [15:14] how to download videos from youtube [15:14] How can I get Nokia 6280 to work with Ubuntu connecting with USB cable? [15:14] hej. Is there any Installer with Text, and NO graphic. I only have 256MB ram, and the Graph. Installer takes 20 Min. to Load. I just want to install, and Iam Fine with text [15:14] bazhang, this isn't going to remove my settings is it? I see it reinstalls gnome in the process [15:14] vi390: the server edition is text only [15:14] vi390: use the alternate cd [15:15] vi390: the server edition is text only and you can always apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [15:15] pawan youtube-dl (url you want here) [15:15] hey all [15:15] ikonia, I'm not sure I actually will, you just mentioned you know something about it so I thought it's worth asking. I have one more question. I want to run email and jabber on my server. I'd like to separate the email from /home but still use Maildir format. How hard would that be? [15:15] bogey-: aah o thats fine thanks [15:15] MTecknology: not hard at all, mail delivery is the thing that defines where mail actually goes [15:15] MTecknology: some of my machines have it in /var for example [15:15] bazhang, pawan: the -t switch is useful too :) [15:15] mystic can you paste in pastebin the /boot/grub/menu.lst ? [15:16] hey. I'm still stumped at my problem. Basically after restarting the laptop on which hardy is running on, I need to login twice to login successfully, because at the first attempt at logging in, xorg crashes/restarts. Pastebin of a new xorg.conf here http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/9487/ [15:16] jharkn: thanks forgot that :) [15:16] bazhang, pawan: adds the page title to the file name [15:16] ikonia, i did apt-get install and it installed the programs, so i did grub-install /dev/md0 and it said "The file /boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly. [15:16] is it possible to upgrade ubuntu from cd if i have not downloaded the alternate cd, but instead the default desktop cd ? ifso how ? the updatemanager doesnt pick up that i can upgrade [15:16] " [15:16] :) [15:16] bazhang, eh nevermind worst case scenario I have to reinstall a few things [15:16] ikonia, where do you set that up in the configs? I've been using postfix and courier [15:16] how can i get evolution to use an ldap server? [15:16] hooer: whoaaaaa you don't install it to the mbr [15:16] bazhang, thanks again [15:16] Fritzel: removing the kde stuff will not do that [15:16] hi, I'm having problems burning a cd in ubuntu 8.04 (fine in 7.10) my ide drives are coming up as /dev/sr0 (scsi) which seems odd, and hdparm shows 'Inappropriate ioctl for device' anyone got any ideas? [15:16] hooer: think about it, when you first turn on your machine - md0 doesn't exist [15:16] hooer: only sda1 and sdb1 do [15:16] ooh :p [15:16] Need a URL for getting Broadcom wireless to work with Hardy. Driver/firmware worked on all previous versions [15:17] where does the video gets stored [15:17] grub-install is for the mbr? [15:17] and there is not /cdrom/cdromupgrade file [15:17] arvind_khadri: you where looking for me last night, can I help ? [15:17] Fritzel: if you used aptitude to install you can sudo aptitude remove kubuntu-desktop [15:17] hooer: I wouldn't use gurb install in your senario [15:17] pawan: in your home dir [15:17] hooer: I'd use "grub" and then the grub shell commands to make sure I got it right [15:17] aah [15:17] thanks [15:17] ikonia, actually yeah but i just left the prob all alone...its about the booting bar the orange one...it doesnt show up since i got 7.10 [15:17] np [15:17] azexian-> thats not too odd, your cdrom being /dev/sr0 [15:17] I have a question about GDM. When GDM starts, what is the UID that starts the gdmserver? [15:18] arvind_khadri: shout if you want help with it [15:18] bazhang, -nod- unfortunatly that wasn't the case [15:18] ikonia, :) you cant?? [15:18] amenado: well this issue wasn't in 7.10, and I'm sure that my drive used to be /dev/hda [15:18] I can't what ? [15:18] neeto-> you can do a ps aux| grep gdm to search for it? [15:18] ikonia, you cant help me? [15:19] ooo i apt-get removed usplash, now i'm booting ncurses, cool, i don't know if it's faster [15:19] arvind_khadri: fair enough [15:19] amenado: I suppose.

[15:19] azexian-> well things do changed, perhaps if you look into udev, but thats one thing i dislike of ubuntu using udev, its much more difficult to find out hte rules and events [15:20] pasted [15:20] ikonia, ??? [15:20] arvind_khadri: what ? [15:20] can anyone help me with an nVidia config problem? I upgraded to the latest driver from the nVidia site and now my machine starts in low res mode! by unloading and reloading the kernel driver I can get it working, but same problem each time I boot. [15:20] arvind_khadri: sorry, I may be missing part of your conversation [15:20] i think i just borked my system :/ [15:20] mystic-> im wanting to see your menu.lst [15:20] hooer: really ? [15:20] amenado: hm, it's very strange, I can't burn, it gives strange errors, and that hdparm thing is very odd, I'm sure someone else must have had this.. [15:20] so there is no way to upgrade unless u have a "alternate installation CD." or and internet connection ? [15:20] mystic-> not here, in pastebin okay? [15:20] ikonia, i meant am ready to get helped [15:20] hi. is there a minimal CD that installs from the internet? [15:20] its in the bin :) [15:20] * XGenster downloaded the desktop cd :-( === berry_sky is now known as lieta [15:21] ikonia, yeh.. i did grub-install /dev/sdi and it kinda got stuck... i can still ping the box but can't login [15:21] arvind_khadri: ahhh, sorry, I thought you said I couldn't help, I missed part. sorry [15:21] azexian-> are you sure you can use hdparm on a ide? not sure if thats okay to use with scsci [15:21] hooer: as I said, I wouldn't have done grub-install [15:21] yeh i did it too soon :/ [15:21] hooer: for your config you really needed to do it manually [15:21] ikonia, i just meant that i had stopped worrying about it :) [15:21] Hallo! Wie bringe ich einen Scanner (Multif.-gerät Brother mfc-240)zum laufen!! [15:21] arvind_khadri: I see [15:21] !de | ulrich_ [15:21] I cannot set my sound volume with alsamixer! I get : alsamixer: function snd_mixer_load failed: No such file or directory [15:21] amro-> yes, you have a linux now? then you can download debootstrap and use that [15:21] amenado: yeah, I thought that too, but it seems to work on my /dev/sda* (although that is ide with a ide-sata converter) [15:22] azexian-> i would google for more info on that if I were you, not too sure right of what causes that issue for you [15:22] ikonia: grub-install is necessary to get grub into the mbr... grub-install /dev/ (probably md rather then md0 for instance) [15:22] is there a flag to make netstat display ip4 addresses instead of ip6? [15:23] fde: no it's not [15:23] anybody around to help me with the loading bar issue...its not showing up since 7.10...am on 8.04 now...kernel hasnt been tweaked [15:23] fde: thats not he the only way to install grub to an mbr [15:23] ikonia: umm... k [15:23] fde umm grub does not even need to be in the mbr [15:23] not sure which one you want amenado as i have 2 [15:23] ikonia: another way would be? [15:23] mystic paste in pastebin both..we will get an idea [15:23] arvind_khadri: did you remove quiet from the boot params? [15:23] fde: the user had a reasonably complex sollution, and needed a manual definition [15:23] fde: using the grub shell [15:23] amenado: yes. I see one on Debian- is there an ubuntu version or will that work fine? [15:23] amenado: hm, yeah, I have looked quite a bit, not too sure, I guess I'll take another look, or try my dvd-rw through that converter I mentioned, and the hdd straight into had, that way perhaps it'll work [15:23] this one ? D:\ubuntu\install\boot\grub [15:23] fed use also dd :P [15:23] bazhang, no i didnt [15:23] amro: yes, grub does have to be on the mbr [15:23] amenado: thanks for trying =) [15:24] ikonia: which would do the same thing as grub-install ... via 'install' [15:24] fde: no it's not grub install guesses for you [15:24] fde: hence why some peoples installs are borked [15:24] amenado: hah... well that's cheating... also hard to guess bits required... I'm not aware of how at least. [15:25] ikonia: some peoples installs are b0rked because they didn't want to replace MBR probably... [15:25] amro then download debootstrap and use that to install ubuntu from the net..its the most basic one and i dont think it even have a kernel [15:25] fde: tell you what, you fix his issues then [15:25] gibt es hier auch Deutsche! [15:25] Hardy Heron, cant change volume, alsamixer error? please help! [15:25] fde: it's a 2 disk raid mirror, one disk with a hard coded lilo boot sector that won't boot [15:25] fde: over to you [15:25] ikonia: I didn't answer because I am not familiar enough with RAID arrays... then, it seems you're guessing too. [15:25] ikonia... a miracle :p [15:25] hooer: check bottom of page here http://currents.soest.hawaii.edu/docs/doc/ubuntu_docs/thirdparty_html/ubuntu_raid.html [15:25] fde: I'm not guessing at all [15:25] grub-install should be fine [15:25] fde: hence why I'm advising him [15:26] hooer: it worked ? [15:26] gonna install hardy on PE 2950 with PERC controllers, does it work? [15:26] alsamixer: function snd_mixer_load failed: No such file or directory [15:26] ikonia: ok... then continue... [15:26] ikonia, i rebooted from original drive and its on lilo still [15:26] hooer: yes, it will be [15:26] gonna have a SAS brick connect to it as well [15:26] anyone know how to uninstall gnome-panel without uninstalling gnome-desktop? [15:26] amenado: pasted both as im not sure which is which [15:26] amenado: I found a MinimalCD [15:26] hooer: you need to do 2 grub installs to the native partitions of your disk [15:26] ikonia, so now i can correct my grub mess [15:26] tony403: ubuntu-desktop? [15:26] mystic we will take a look, and maybe there are some thing you can do find out which is which [15:27] bazhang, yeah, now i've got awn installed, i want to uninstall gnome panel but it's wanting to uninstall gnome desktop too now [15:27] ulrich_: moin #ubuntu-de mein gute freund [15:27] amro thats a possibility, like the mini.iso, but i myself have not used those to install yet, other than debootstrap [15:27] hooer: you need 1.) grub install to the mbr of disk1 referenceing the boot partition of disk1, you then need to do the same thing for disk b, but writing to the mbr of disk2 and refercning the boot parttion of disk2 [15:27] bazhang, so it's safe to uninstall gnome-desktop? [15:27] alsamixer: function snd_mixer_load failed: No such file or directory [15:27] amenado: thanks for the debootstrap hint. I'll use that if mini.iso proves impractical [15:28] ikonia, yep that makes sense [15:28] hello [15:28] tony403: gnome-desktop or ubuntu-desktop? [15:28] hooer: good good [15:28] bazhang, gnome-desktop is what it says [15:28] amro good luck, and share the know how to us later [15:28] tony403: why would u want to? you cannot have gnome-desktop without the panel [15:29] amenado: as i have never installed with the windows installer before I am not sure where the file is but at a gues I would guess the one you want is D:\ubuntu\install\boot\grub\menu.lst.

[16:09] k, a friend of mine did a upgrade, and half way through he says it locked up, so he had to use the power button to shutdown and restart it, now it wants to do a partial upgrade, however when he does it just closes out the window. any ideas how to fix? [16:09] danbhfive: When I tried to select Alternate CD and Server Edition on the Website it gave me the standard install CD as the download. [16:09] Jared`: hmmm, actually, it might not [16:09] devindia: install kubuntu-kde4-desktop ... this won't really upgrade though, it'll just give you both KDE3 and 4...

I've heard stories of it removing packages that people needed [16:10] devindia you dont need to upgrade, KDE4 is a separate environment [16:10] david_-_-, You will need to use the menu devices -> install guest additions [16:10] fde: that is kde4 only; kubuntu-desktop is kde3, correct? [16:10] <__mork> because of radiations... who knows... [16:10] bazhang: yup... he'd needs to remove all deps on kubuntu-desktop [16:10] fxjr: ok thanks but anything on the xubuntu side? after i start it up? [16:11] fde okay thanks :) [16:11] fxjr yep [16:11] bazhang: (that aren't deps of -kde4-desktop) [16:11] gralexey: or, in the 'services' admin control panel, you can disable 'graphical login manager' [16:11] hello [16:11] david_-_-, I found that on google: http://programminglinuxblog.blogspot.com/2007/09/virtual-box-xubuntu.html [16:11] wat is the name of the repo [16:11] omg, it's ubuntu [16:11] I hope it helps.

I have in fact a /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf file with all ok. [16:12] danbhfive: Are there extra steps I will need to make the Alternate CD install as Server Edition? I would basically have to take Desktop and modify it?

[16:13] Hey guys, how'd I go about writing a bash script that checked /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temperature every 30 seconds and if it were higher than a predefined limit do several commands? [16:13] Jared`: the alternate CD will let you install it as server or desktop... just read the initial screen of that install method. [16:13] fde: Thank you! That is very helpful :) [16:13] danbhfive: Thank you for your help [16:13] __mork: likely a networking restart will do that [16:14] zylche: ask in #bash [16:14] <__mork> another prob is why it forgets the password... I already had this prob on gutsy but solved in some way (yes, but... which!!!) [16:14] will do [16:14] Jared`: It'll be "minimal" if it doesn't state "server" explicitly... did you have anything in mind for that server? [16:14] <__mork> bazhang: I do let network restart each time wireless (or wired) profile is selected in nm applet? [16:15] hi [16:15] anyone an idea how to link a folder [16:15] permanently [16:15] ln -s [16:15] fde: Nothing really. I was more concerned of specific server modifications to the base OS like the Kernel that would be absent on a Desktop install [16:15] man ln [16:15] __mork: still not clear why you dont wifi all the time--you can get a $5 range extender for that you know === HHLee is now known as yondie [16:15] Qnux: ln -s /folder/location /new/location/here === yondie is now known as Topeng [16:16] hi, any one getting 'failed to initialize hal' after restart recently?

I go through Adept and request install, but ever time a commit, I watch the details and it says another process has locked the file. Alas, lsof lists nothing. [16:17] Jared`: if you want the server install, I would try the server cd. Don't do the alternate cd. Some alternate cds can do a server install, other cannot. I forget which [16:17] if you walk up to an ubuntu system, how can you tell which version it is? [16:17] i think a re-install might be easier anyway [16:17] <__mork> bazhang: this one seems to me the right linux way [16:17] Hi I have an External USB Acer CDRW 4x4x6 that I use. Often when I insert a CDR or CD Linux does not auto-mount it. In fact often I am forced to re-boot the computer to recognize it. Can anyone tell me why or maybe how to fix this? [16:18] danbhfive: My system appears to freeze with the server CD. That's the issue I'm experiencing [16:18] __mork: my limited knowledge only extends to wireless; the much smarter folks here can likely help with that [16:18] justprogramming8: they are in the xscreensavers-data, xscreensavers-data-extra, xscreensavers-gl, and xscreensavers-gl-extra packages, just apt-get source packagename [16:18] Speckal, cat /proc/version [16:18] yup in ubuntu its name endgame [16:18] Speckal, that's one way, but doesn't tell you the distro version. [16:18] whileimhere: you are hotplugging it? [16:18] <__mork> bazhang: thanks anyway, you were very kind. [16:18] <__mork> so the gurus here can help please??? [16:18] PeterFA: I'm looking for distro version :) [16:18] Oh. Applications aren't being able to take focus over other one, how'd I fix that? :P [16:18] PeterFA: eg. Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon 7.10 or some such [16:19] Speckal: lsb_release -a [16:19] so angry..grrrrrr [16:19] night [16:19] bazhang: nice. ty ;) [16:19] fxjr: hmm it does not work that way [16:19] speckal: or you could go to system monitor...and it shows it there under system ;) [16:20] #ubuntu -cn [16:20] bazhang: I usually leave it plugged into the computer via the back USB. I have tried different USB ports with the same results. I have tried unplugging it when both the computer and the CDRW burner are on and that sometimes works. Otherwise I am forced to re-boot to get it to recognize the CDRW. [16:20] zylche, have you tried sensors-applet? [16:20] bazhang: no, and I thought it was a good article to be aware of, sorry. [16:20] does Epiphany have their own irc channel? [16:20] Pici i couldnt understand [16:20] it has support to execute commands on predefined thresholds [16:20] can u explain [16:20] van type /join #ubuntu-cn [16:20] Oh. [16:21] david_-_-, what problem did you get? [16:21] The alarm part was hidden in the sensors properties [16:21] :P [16:21] yeap [16:21] My mistake. Was used to the old interface [16:21] ah... fyi, that info is stored in /etc/lsb-release [16:21] fxjr: thats just it no problems no errors just doesnt work. [16:21] wobe would be better in #ubuntu-offtopic thanks :) [16:21] can i use emerald in hardy? I don't see it installed? [16:21] cgentry72: sure install it [16:22] bazhang, ok wasn't sure [16:22] david_-_-, did you enabled the install guest additions? [16:22] justprogramming8: you need to determine what package the screensaver is in, then run apt-get source thepackagename [16:22] fxjr: yep [16:22] cgentry72, I think you need to install it with synaptic [16:22] ok, [16:22] how can i determine ?? [16:22] did the virtual box additions guest cd appeared on xubuntu desktop? [16:23] fxjr, i found it there.. does it load automatically on startup? [16:23] cgentry72, nope. [16:23] justprogramming8: its in the xscreensaver-gl package [16:23] you have to execute a script inside it [16:23] fxjr: not rly worried about it its just annoying sometimes lol [16:23] fxjr, ok i'll figure that out then [16:23] ./VBoxLinuxAddtions.run [16:23] cgentry72: alt f2 emerald --replace [16:24] bazhang, ok [16:24] cgentry72: same with compiz; alt f2 compiz --replace ; to disable alt f2 metacity --replace [16:24] No ideas ? [16:25] bazhang, good to know thanks [16:25] david_-_-, rly ??? what does this stand for? [16:25] whileimhere: best to just leave it plugged in when you start up [16:25] fxjr: really [16:25] fxjr: what does what stand for? [16:25] cgentry72, I think you can configure compiz to run it automagically for you. [16:26] david_-_-, Whoops, sorry. wrong nick :) [16:26] sorry Jared`I think the problem you are experiencing is out of my league [16:26] fxjr, yes i see that [16:26] is there a simple x application i can use that'll draw text like xconsole except it will read from a text file? === azerty is now known as N3o [16:26] back in a second [16:26] I keep getting the same error installing packages.

I also tried xhost + from the remote PC and still nothing redirected, what's wrong please? [16:44] Hello guys. I'm having issues with my soundcard when using the jack server. I get lots of noises. My card is "82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller". Any hint? [16:44] edgy: pidig doesnt show personal messages [16:44] ikonia: thx [16:44] sadiel: I think it's better to ask at #alsa [16:45] ikonia: any suggested config changes that won't make it do that? [16:45] sadiel: whats the jack server? [16:45] thanks a lot edgy! [16:45] Hello ... how do I change the way Gnome shows me the ALT-TAB windows? I don't want a screenshot ... I want a simple list of open programs [16:45] maybe I should just use the desktop CD [16:45] sadiel: you are welcome [16:45] just a quick question, i am able to play dvds but i get no sound. any ideas why? [16:45] danbhfive: jack server is a program. If I get it well, it's like a virtual sound driver or something [16:45] danbhfive: apt-cache show jackd [16:46] cgentry72: can you hear sound from other files? [16:46] edgy, yes [16:46] SuperQ: not at the moment, just reading though [16:46] thanks [16:46] edgy, nevermind works with movie player just not vlc [16:46] how do you delete an os off of virtual box? [16:46] Hello ... how do I change the way Gnome shows me the ALT-TAB windows? I don't want a screenshot ... I want a simple list of open programs [16:47] Jua1: I think you need to edit the compiz settings [16:48] how do I get a console login without x? [16:48] Weird, I don't think I have compiz installed? I thought it was metacity, right [16:48] how do you delete an os off of virtual box? [16:48] jua1: should be compiz...are you sure it's not installed? [16:49] Jua1: System > Preferences > Appearance ... default is to use Compiz. [16:49] compiz makes games slower [16:49] I dont like it [16:49] compiz makes everything slower, but then again so does gnome :P [16:50] Well, apprently I must have compiz installed ... just ran "compiz" in terminal and all my windows got refreshed [16:50] david_-_-: I just delete the harddrive file, and then delete it in the manager [16:50] danbhfive: thanks hey u join me in room #wwed please so we could talk about dif os's? [16:51] Can someone tell me how to get a console login with ubuntu? I have no option to leave x in the display manager and I don't know where ubuntu stores the runlevels since it's not in etc inittab like I expected to find it. [16:51] morghanphoenix: there are two ways, either create the file /etc/X11/default-desktop-manager and throw '/bin/false' in there... or remove gdm from the system. [16:51] Jua1: just turn compiz off, the way fde suggested, and I think you will be satisfied [16:51] ah [16:51] wow that helped quite a bit. Thanks! [16:52] morghanphoenix, does gnome make system slower? [16:52] my computer is now fiding my iPhone through ssh. and what should I do now? [16:52] compared to fluxbox or ice, yes, compared to KDE, no [16:52] polysilicon: Not really, as it loads typical libraries that your apps will use... [16:52] How do I get a visual bell on my bar when someone hilight me on irssi? [16:53] hello [16:53] Upgrade manager told me 8.04 is available. Is it safe to upgrade? I won't reboot and suddenly have a non-working system? I didn't have any problems with 7.10 except sometimes when I shutdown and plug out the charger during (in which case ACPI crashes and I have to force poweroff the machine) [16:53] morghanphoenix: those window managers will require you to start GTK related and Gnome related libs after the session has started... so it feels slower. [16:53] xintron: are you using pidgin? [16:53] is gnome suitable for laptops [16:53] ? [16:54] yes [16:54] I mean does it provide any laptop specific settings/ [16:54] <^root^> hi! i am getting really low speed on package installation, tried from everywhere, normal download is about 50k, while in add/remove, synaptic, apt-get i get 10K, 20K. tried local mirrors as well as us mirrors [16:54] how to install 'Tk GUI Toolkit' === magnet_ is now known as magnet [16:54] My computer found iphone's Library and Media directories with "ls" [16:54] polysilicon: not having any problems with it on any of the laptops I have used it on [16:54] xintron: There is no way via irssi to do that. [16:54] polysilicon: i'm using a laptop with gnome and it works very well [16:54] I find the new way the volumes are shown (xxx GB Media) on the desktop really annoying. How can I display sdc1 and sdd1 instead on the desktop please ? [16:54] I've used gnome KDE 3 & 4 as well as the current fluxbox on this laptop [16:54] xintron: Recommend you use XChat if you wish for such features. [16:54] My computer found iphone's Library and Media directories with "ls"... I have not written "iphone-mount" because it gives me an error so what should I do? [16:54] xintron: what do you want to do? [16:54] fde: While using putty on windows I got a visual bell on hilight (connecting to a shell and using irssi) [16:55] xintron: Putty is available for Linux... [16:55] ghostknife: Get a flashing terminal when someone hilights me on irssi [16:55] xintron: want the task bar to highlight/flash? [16:55] yes ghostknife [16:55] Does displayconfig-gtk exist in Hardy? [16:55] anyways, time for me to reboot, nvidia drivers await me [16:55] any idea why pressing alt+right sends different key codes under gnome-term and rxvt? [16:55] fde: I would like to use the terminal if possible [16:55] my icons all just disappeared, and the Menus are not working either. how can this be fixed [16:55] ? [16:55] xintron: ah, well your terminal needs to support it. irssi sends the \a escape sequence when it highlights. Your terminal needs to convert this to a visual bell [16:56] ghostknife: wanna tell me how? [16:56] or on fixing it? [16:56] the driver manager wasn't working and I couldn't get a login of console only, so now I should be all set to get my windows games running again. [16:56] xintron: no idea. I don't know which terminals support that [16:56] I'm trying to share a directory on my machine with a windows machine. however it doesn't work, and trying to add the windows user using smbpasswd -L -a username doesn't work either. I get an error like: Failed to modify password entry for user username [16:56] My computer found iphone's Library and Media directories with "ls"... I have not written "iphone-mount" because it gives me an error so what should I do? [16:56] xintron: ask in ##linux, they might know. Or ask in #gnome if the gnome terminal supports turning it on or something [16:56] ok, thanks anyway ghostknife [16:56] xintron: as long as the terminal software supports it, everything will work fine [16:57] bye === Remember is now known as Hydrogen [16:57] hello. How can I reinstall package? [16:57] Does anyone know how to tell Hardy what kind of monitor I have? [16:57] I could do it in Gutsy [16:57] nullie: remove and install [16:57] xintron: if the terminal supports it but with some OTHER escape sequence, then let me know. I'll give you a script that sends that escape sequence. What you can also do is play an MP3 when someone types your nick, then you choose some distinct sounds that will notify you [16:57] Jokka, no other way? [16:58] nullie: apt-get install --reinstall [16:58] nullie: you can reinstall from synaptic [16:58] nullie, i do it that way=) [16:58] nullie: Synaptic also lets you reinstall by right-clicking on the software you want to reinstall [16:58] humm, still [16:58] updatedb: fatal error: load_file: Could not open file: /etc/updatedb.conf: No such file or directory [16:59] nullie: hmmm [16:59] Dang, I forget the name of the software that manages updatedb [16:59] ...locate?

It crash when I try to create a sub and doesn't open the ones I have on my hdd [17:00] nullie: but you'd better hope the default configuration is good enough if you do that [17:01] I have some packages that vanished and I can't install them, such as apache or firefox. I need to redownload the whole tree, or at least I think so. What do I do? === \etc\bin is now known as e1mer [17:01] is there an easy way to change the icon on the left of the menu panel?

[17:01] nullie: maybe someone else can share their file. ;) [17:02] javaJake, I think we have a similar problem. [17:02] PeterFA: I think you might've disabled repositories [17:02] !pastebin > danbhfive [17:02] How do I switch the default compiler from gcc 4.2 to gcc 4.1? [17:02] PeterFA: check in System -> Settings -> Software [17:03] javaJake: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9517/ [17:03] javaJake: updatedb.conf is in the mlocate package [17:03] pajamian: great, thanks [17:03] $ dpkg-query -S /etc/updatedb.conf [17:03] mlocate: /etc/updatedb.conf [17:03] nullie: sudo apt-get install --reinstall mlocate [17:03] javaJake, where is "System -> Settings -> Software"? [17:03] Fishscene: aye [17:03] nullie: if that doesn't work danbhfive provided a /etc/updatedb.conf file [17:03] Are there any common problems for dual monitors on ubuntu that would cause simple things like loading a weppage to be really slow? [17:03] isn't there some dpkg configure thing to swap from one gcc to another? I just don't know what it's called if so [17:04] bashang, Can you read this? かたかな [17:04] PeterFA: Software Sources perhaps? [17:04] Fishscene: yes [17:04] PeterFA: adding a repo?

[17:04] Oh. [17:04] PeterFA: System -> Settings -> Software Sources [17:04] javaJake, I want to fix my ubuntu, not make patches [17:04] Typing in a different language I have to admit is about a thousand times easier than any other OS I've used [17:04] mortal1, do you have gparted installed? [17:04] <^root^> [Off-topic] who has the highest score in nibles :P :D ? [17:04] i've tried mkfs.xfs -f /dev/hda1 [17:05] Fishscene: I can see it and I don't have the japanese language pack (at least I don't think I do).

[17:06] javaJake, some package must have that file [17:06] ph8, I do you have the compiz settings manager installed? [17:06] I'm quite surprised by this. It seems you do not need the Japanese language pack to view the characters- only to type them. [17:06] paulcros that isn't really anything to do with ubuntu [17:06] nullie: right, mlocate does [17:06] paulcros: flpsed [17:06] nullie: or probably does [17:06] nullie: try reinstalling that package to see if the file comes back [17:06] How can I change the name of the volumes on my desktop PLEASE [17:06] nullie: you may just want to do a fresh install.

I'm in low-graphics mode and my graphics card (GeForce 7 series) and monitor resolution isn't detected... Any ideas? [17:07] PeterFA: mmmm.... Check the System menu... [17:07] ph8, there should be an option in there somewhere to disable the roll-up effect [17:07] pajamian, thank you [17:07] PeterFA: I forget the name of the Software Sources executable... otherwise you could just use Alt+F2 [17:08] zup pplz??......... [17:08] shira: try sudo displayconfig-gtk if hardy [17:08] bazhang: ah! thanks! [17:08] bazhang: that's what I was here for originally, lol [17:08] paulcros: it'sw supposed to be able to import and export pdfs, but I find it works better if you convert the pdf to a ps file yourself first. [17:08] Anyone know what causes realplayer streaming not to work properly in 8.04? (Its something to do with the totem helix plugin) - its simply gives garbled sound (tested on bbc listen again) [17:09] javaJake, what's the console way of doing it?

For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [17:18] skenmy: ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-299524.html [17:18] pmetzger: I mean binding aone key to perform a series of keystrokes [17:18] bhsx: No, you need to run tasksel and select it as a task. [17:18] Hmm, maybe the problem is the Canadian server. [17:18] thanks [17:18] bhsx: np [17:18] PeterFA: are all the repositories enabled? [17:18] Yeah hwilde, that helps, just said that wasn't working and the script wasn't either [17:19] ramkumar, yes. [17:19] PeterFA: can you post the output of apt-get update? [17:19] PeterFA: pastebin.ca [17:19] can anyone help me out? my install of Hardy fails at select and install right after xserver around 6% no matter which disk, drive or optical drive I use [17:19] skenmy: again, it depends on what you mean by that. you might mean "I want the window manager to intercept some keystrokes and do something no matter what application I'm in" or you may mean "I want this particular application to do something in response to a given keystroke" [17:19] javaJake, that might not be necessary because I changed the servers to the US one. [17:19] morghanphoenix, do you have an error message or anything [17:19] mirdin76: even the minimal? [17:20] mirdin76: do other versions of Ubuntu install okay? [17:20] javaJake, the update worked flawlessly this time. [17:20] so I have an nvidia card (7 series) but it doesn't appear in the restricted drivers manager [17:20] javaJake, yeah, and it found firefox [17:20] PeterFA: awlright! :D [17:20] unitydivide: no ideas then, right? :) [17:20] None in ubuntu, the driver manager just doesn't start, when I used the nvidia script I got plenty of errors and had to manually edit my xorg config to get back in to x [17:20] PeterFA: nice! it's the server then [17:20] i just got this error now. "Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/loc - open (11 resource temporarily unavailable)" and "Unable to lock the list"... what does this mean? [17:20] pmetzger: well, I specifically want it to work with irssi, but I am unable to do so, so i'm currently wanting to get it just intercepting a keystroke and running a series - I don't use the keys for any other reaspm [17:20] javaJake, I'm going to write Canonical and let them know there may be a problem with there Canadian servers. [17:20] *reason [17:21] !aptfix | babolat [17:21] babolat: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [17:21] ubuntu-xen-server contains hypervisor PKG 3.2. but ioemu still on 3.1. what's the way to get ioemu working? uninstall all xen-3.2* pkgs and install 3.1 ones? [17:21] javaJake, and it installed fine. [17:21] javaJake, not a hitch. [17:21] PeterFA: OK. I'd stick with the Canadian servers after this has passed: the main servers get really slow sometimes. [17:21] pmetzger, not a one, sorry :. [17:21] :/ [17:21] PeterFA: especially on release day. :P [17:21] javaJake, yeah, but the Canadian server doesn't work. [17:22] anyone haveing issues getting the restricted ATI drivers to work on the new ubuntu release? [17:22] hischild: what does <<sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a>> do? [17:22] Morning y'all. So, after running sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree, I consistentlly get this error: http://pastebin.com/m603a121b Any ideas what I might be doing wrong? [17:22] skenmy: irssi has its own system for keyboard bindings I believe [17:22] Time to write them. [17:23] pmetzger: yep, but it does not want to work with my keys [17:23] hence why I am asking for a "global intercept" method [17:23] hi [17:23] well, trying something else, back in a bit. [17:23] bazhang: the alternate? yes, even the alternate [17:23] skenmy: I'd say you should debug why it isn't working with irssi directly [17:23] PeterFA: if you go into software sources it has a function that checks all the servers for the fastest one. [17:23] does anyone here have experience with mdadm for software raid 5? [17:23] mophead: the Canadian servers are down. :) [17:23] pmetzger: no, actually I have the same problem with gutsy [17:23] skenmy: no point in trying to find a shotgun to kill a fly. [17:23] mophead: looks like a bad server, try changing to another server and try [17:23] I try to enable the restricted ati drivers and when I come back I get just a blank screen [17:23] !minimal | mirdin76 not the alternate [17:23] mirdin76 not the alternate: 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 [17:23] javaJake: that... that would explain a lot [17:23] mirdin76: does the hardware run another OS successfully? [17:23] pmetzger: Because they are non-standard keys :) [17:24] javaJake: any idea how long? ballpark estimate? [17:24] skenmy: what is a "non-standard key" in this context? [17:24] mophead: "gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list" <- remove any "ca." from that file. [17:24] bazhang: oh, no I don't have any internet connection to it though [17:24] mophead: that will give you the main servers instead [17:24] pmetzger: on my G15 they are the "G" keys [17:24] mophead: no idea [17:24] I cant find any info on the forums to help me with my 7.04 to 7.10 upgrade. everytime I try to upgrade (GUi and 'do-release-upgrade) it tells me there are no upgrades [17:24] skenmy: but they send normal X events I imagine, yes? [17:24] mophead: if you want, you can also use the GUI way: System -> Administration -> Software Sources [17:24] /etc/issue tells me 7.0.4 [17:24] skenmy: if they send X events, they're not really "non-standard" [17:24] pmetzger: yeah, actually I was able to install gutsy xubuntu on it once in text mode, but it was a buggy install so I'm trying again from scratch [17:24] pmetzger: well, xev picks them up [17:25] pmetzger: but cat does not. [17:25] skenmy: if they send x events, that doesn't mean the tty driver knows about them. [17:25] skenmy: but any X app can know about them. [17:25] irssi is not an X app [17:25] so perhaps my question should be - how can I get my keys to be recognised by tty [17:25] mophead: or K menu > System > Adept Manager if you're in kde, heh [17:25] skenmy: xmodmap [17:26] my computer will not go to sleep. it is a Powerbook G4 and I get the error that it does not work with this type of machine. Is this true, or can it be fixed? [17:26] skenmy: or at least, xmodmap is one reasonable way, there are several.

[17:28] Zasch: turn preview off in nautlius [17:28] which package has cdev.h? [17:28] paynito: its whitespace separated, you can use tabs if you want [17:28] not sure if this is the right place to ask.. here goes.. where do i get layered version of that beautiful heron wallpaper i have now? [17:28] paynito: spaces or tabs [17:28] javaJake: a-ha! thanks! should I sudo apt-get upgrade next, and then try the install again?

I wonder what I'm doing wrong [17:32] shira: Hmmm, are you running compiz fusion, eh or where you in Gutsy? [17:32] tyler: yes I was running compiz fusion, not anymore since my drivers are not detected [17:32] hey all, i'm having some issues with dual monitors in hardy [17:32] GG2, chkdsk /? - ought to tell you what /r does [17:32] is the steps to install the flgrx drivers the same in the new version of ubuntu as it was in the old, cause the xorg.conf seems to be missing a lot of info such as an entry for the video drivers and such. [17:32] pajamian: thanks alot. I backed up my files on another drive and for some odd reason it set all permissions and ownerships of the files to root [17:33] Bah! Is synergy in the Ubuntu repos? [17:33] pardon the newb question, but could it have something to do with the xserver configuration? [17:33] i can't seem to get dual monitors working, i can get them to mirror each other but i can't have two distinct desktops. also, my main screen has a higher res than the second, is that a problem? [17:33] Hi! I have an .iso image movie on my hard. How can I see it without recording it?

[17:34] In any case, I already tried chkdsk. It showed no problem [17:34] tyler: yeah, glx is not available [17:34] thanks, lol i was jut tryign to enable the bundled restricted driver and it messes up every time I enable it [17:34] Anybody know the solution why some computer get stuck in the "BusyBox" when trying to install 8.0.4 on them? And you get the error "message drive not ready for command". I was able to install the older verision but when i upgraded to the new sam problem during bootup. I was also able to install the server Version of 8.0.4 but when I installed the ubuntu desktop i received the same error message. [17:34] shira: what's synaptic showing on the drivers? [17:34] ramkumar: it does not "solve the problem", it lets me read the device at low speed.

[17:35] tyler: i hae nvidia-glx-new installed [17:35] and are there any comparable ubuntu programs? [17:35] tyler, well, did or didn't you have to use sudo to copy the files across? [17:35] pajanian: I just don't want to have to manually go in with nautilus and change ownership of 25gigs worth of data [17:35] pmetzger: yup, and it is strange though...i never knew about it until it happened to one thinkpad i installed ubuntu on [17:35] at least on this 256 RAM system mplayer works great and totem looses frames [17:36] unop: no [17:36] ciao a tutti [17:36] shira: ...oh [17:36] dfgas: please disable that script thanks [17:36] neocrypter: there are a few reasons: 1) you upgraded instead of doing a fresh install 2) you are not online 3) there's a bug [17:36] If someone has some free time I could really use some help with as vmware installation.. ERROR: http://pastebin.com/d571a5be PLEASE!!!!! [17:36] unop: I gave it root pw to access the drive and it let me do whatever [17:36] tyler: drives don't have owners, but like I said, cp -a will preserve permissions and ownership if you need to back up in the future. [17:36] tyler, it's easy.. just run this. sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /path/to/backup_dir [17:36] unop: hell now I have to use gparted to change the flags on the back up drive just to access it. [17:37] tyler, what filesystem does the drive/partition use? [17:37] GhostFish: OK, let's walk through this. This is a compile error, right? [17:37] Yes [17:37] unop: /ext3 [17:37] pajamian: are you sure? it wouldn't let me access it in my default account with out root permission [17:38] anybody know why my 5 button mouse should show up as a standard 2 button, and how i might fix that? [17:38] tyler, you don't need to use gparted, just modify permissions on the mount-point (or directories under it) and that's that. [17:38] GhostFish: OK, now, the key to solving these is finding the _FIRST_ error that occurs. Can you find it? [17:38] Delerious: this is gutsy or hardy; old xorg (gutsy) can edit; not quite sure how new minimal xorg handles that [17:39] tyler: the parent directory can be set to onwership, but not hte drive itself. If you had used a command that preserves ownership and permissions to perform the copy then the files and subdirectories would have been properly preserved, even if you run the command as root.

[17:41] tyler: but like I said, in the future, just use the cp command with -a to perform the copy and it will preserve all the permissions and ownership in the copy. You can run that command as root. [17:41] pepi: that opens a nice gui, you can then browse the packages available by category [17:41] anyone know what this means?

[17:46] pepi: sure [17:46] pepi: yes very much [17:46] it is not listed [17:46] GhostFish: OK, notice the answer the guy gives to the Fedora 8 problem: [17:46] pepi: sudo apt-get install apache2 [17:46] shira: any luck?

In windows console the command was CD [17:47] rtm1981: it is the same in linux. [17:47] rtm => it's "cd" too :) [17:47] rtm1981, same with unix. cd [17:47] GhostFish: so, this any-any patch is what we need. I did some more research and Googling for you, and found out that this error occurs in Ubuntu too, and the patch works in Ubuntu as well [17:47] hmmmm... [17:47] odd [17:47] I deleted the theme and installed it again and no results ... I might add that ALLL theme only work for root [17:47] cd not CD [17:47] because I'm getting the msg "bash" [17:47] GhostFish: the patch can be found here: http://taltan2.free.fr/dl/vmware/vmware-any-any-update-116.tgz [17:47] a nice value of -19 gives highest priority, correct? [17:47] rtm1981: it's cd in linux too [17:47] i can't seem to get dual monitors working, i can get them to mirror each other but i can't have two distinct desktops. also, my main screen has a higher res than the second, is that the problem? [17:47] rtm1981, but mind the case tho .. on windows case does not matter, but on unix, it does [17:47] how do I change the arrangement of awn icons?? [17:47] rtm1981: cd [17:48] GhostFish: at this point you should be questioning whether or not you really want to compile VMWare, or just use a binary distribution. :) [17:48] fiftyMIPsparc: nvidia or ati? [17:48] nobody on ipv6 (desinstall) ? [17:48] so what does the error msg "bash" mean? :) [17:48] rtm1981: linux commands are case sensitive. all uppercase CD is NOT the same as lowercase cd. [17:48] hischild, errm, some versions of unix allow -20 too [17:48] i have a problema with my ubuntu 8.04 [17:48] rtm1981: it's not an error message, it's jsut the prompt [17:48] what is your *second* question rtm1981 ;] [17:48] any help? [17:48] Jeruvy, cntrl-alt-f1 sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [17:48] sudo apt-get install x11vnc [17:48] rtm1981, if cd doesn't work for you should probably make sure the slashes point forward [17:48] cointoss: ati [17:48] GhostFish: oh, and that patch is up-to-date, btw. It was created March of 2008 [17:48] GhostFish: so no worries there [17:48] unop, yeah, but it's about which value is higher or lower priority. Negative means higher right? [17:48] ok.. i see :) [17:48] skywalker: we need a question first ;] [17:49] cool let me try one sec.. [17:49] fiftyMIPsparc: have a look a aticonfig then [17:49] i am in safe mode [17:49] hischild: from 'man nice' Nicenesses range from -20 (most favorable scheduling) to 19 (least favorable) [17:49] and i can't go out of this [17:49] hischild, right -20 (is allowed on linux too) is the highest while +20 is the lowest [17:49] cointoss, where to find apache after installing? [17:49] fiftyMIPsparc: just enter the command and have a look at the --enable-monitor switch [17:49] sorry to boder u [17:49] cointoss: thank you [17:49] !binarydrivers | skywalker please read this [17:49] skywalker please read this: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [17:49] pepi: the web files in /var/www [17:49] piege: you'll find the binary in /usr/bin, and the actual content in /var/wwww [17:49] oh.thx [17:49] fiftyMIPsparc: np [17:50] unop, thank you.

[17:58] skywalker: if i understand you right for some reason your ubuntu is not booting into the correct mode, you can change that in /boot/grub/menu.lst [17:58] hi, just upgraded to 8.04 and now my partions mounted on /home/flub show up on the desktop again. wasn't it supposed to only show partitions mounted in /media?

[17:59] rtm1981 : you don´t see anything for security reason,bubt it is typing [18:00] r00723r0: then you have a few choices, there is some wrapper you can use for 32 bit plugins in 64 bit FF, or you can try installing the 32 bit version of FF, or you can just install the 32 bit version of ubuntu. I tried the first two options ages ago and decided that 64 bit ubuntu just isn't worth it on the desktop yet and have been on 32 bit since. [18:00] hello what is wrong with svnserver in ubuntu ?

[18:01] Remember 16-bit? [18:01] I sure don't. [18:01] CruX|: that looks like your trying to compile it from source [18:01] windows 3.1? [18:01] * nainef does :( [18:01] r00723r0: interesting but offtopic [18:01] ikonia: no [18:01] r00723r0: I do, it was called Windows 3.x [18:01] yea! my age is showing [18:01] CruX|: how are you installing it ? [18:01] pajamian: it was called amiga OS [18:02] first computer i ever had, 75mhz i386 with windows 3.1 [18:02] r00723r0: did the last link work? [18:02] r00723r0: at any rate, for now I still recommend 32 bit for desktop, and I doubt it will be phased out for quite some time. [18:02] ikonia: apt-get install subversion.... [18:02] Simonf1, nope. [18:02] mine was a timex sinclair 1000 [18:02] Any ideas of why my grub gives an Error 15: file not found when booting up?

[18:03] nothing happens at menu.lst [18:03] :( [18:03] heh [18:03] hbeh [18:03] what year was that? [18:03] r00723r0: up to you, but you will have problems with things such as flash. [18:03] CruX|: it's just installed fine for me, no issues at all. I find it hard to see how your getting that error at install time, as that is a reference to a c++ file that shouldn't exist in a pre-compiled package [18:03] gregbrady: is your bios detecting the drive? [18:03] anyone know where in the filesystem I can find my trash? [18:03] pajamian, right, and if I don't, someone else will. [18:03] eighty wumthing [18:03] sumthing [18:03] gregbrady: usb disk in your machine ?

[18:03] i've just installed 1.7 and the gnome panel and the menu bars are red, how do i change that? i've tried changing to a custom Emerald theme, but they are still red. [18:03] cyclonut: try ~/.local/share/Trash/ [18:03] ikonia: are you using svnserve ? [18:03] *whiny voice. [18:03] CruX|: yes [18:04] r00723r0 : did you checked Ubuntu forums [18:04] mine was 1993 age 7 :D [18:04] ikonia, is it possible to slow down the startup? [18:04] you could order one in kit and build it from parts [18:04] !ot [18:04] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [18:04] cdrom drive and everything [18:04] gregbrady: not really, it boots as soon as the boot sector is ready [18:04] zvacet, nope. [18:04] I will check. [18:04] gregbrady: lol, you want so slow it down, that is a first [18:04] r00723r0: IMO 64 bit Linux is quite good, the main problem with it on the desktop is you need proprietary stuff such as flash and adobe outright refuses to release a 64 bit version of the flashplayer let alone anything resembling open source. [18:04] thanks dystopianray that was it [18:04] my ubuntu box also has a cdrom drive.. [18:04] ot =) [18:04] ikonia: and can you send me an example configuration for single user ? [18:04] ikonia: or i put somewhere my config, can you take a look ? [18:04] simonf1, yeah, it kind of goes against everything, doesn't it? [18:05] CruX|: put it in a pastebin if you want [18:05] pajamian, I'd be boycotting Adobe if it didn't have a complete and utter lock on all multimedia. === never|mobi is now known as neversfelde|mobi [18:05] r00723r0: I hear ya [18:05] CruX|: although what your seeing is not a config issue [18:05] The problem is that the open-source community cannot do anything better. [18:05] Which is surprising since the open-source community has the best programmers in the world. [18:05] ikonia: yes please paste config on pastebin [18:06] r00723r0: adobe has recently opened up their flash specs so expect open source players to improve at a much greater rate [18:06] r00723r0: if you wouldn't mind keeping your ill informed and off topic comments else where please. [18:06] CruX|: your problem is not a config issue [18:06] !ot | r00723r0 [18:06] r00723r0: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter.

[18:15] gregL: if it doesn't automatically mount it when you plug it in, you'll have to mount it manually using the "mount" command [18:15] !fstab | MrFawkes [18:15] MrFawkes: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [18:16] MrFawkes, as in what you see or what is and isn't booted up? [18:16] MrFawkes: woops [18:16] MrFawkes: you want to start some apps? [18:16] started. services. [18:16] i want to disable thttpd. :) [18:16] which physical hard drive does hd 2,0 refer to? [18:16] this is why none wants to use this stuff to much of a mess [18:16] dystopianray: I installed that package and modprobed the module and all is well. Thanks for the help. [18:16] pakratt: it mounts but it won't allow me to get them off the drive.. [18:16] Okay, sometimes Firefox and Nautilus begin to crash, and won't start up again. If I restart X, I can log in with gdm, but I get a solid background for a while under than, and then a grey rectangle in the top left corner of the screen, like a window didn't finish drawing. Nothing else happens then and I can still run console commands. My system is in that state right now. [18:16] ArthurArchnix: it provides an init script too [18:16] skinnymg1 what is a mess [18:17] gregL: Secondary Master drive. [18:17] !scp [18:17] SCP is a secure way of copying files across networks using !SSH. Usage: scp filename user@host:filename - WinSCP is a client for Windows, available at http://winscp.net/ [18:17] dystopianray: Gonna go pass your tip along to the forums where I was complaining. :) [18:17] nhaines: usb thumb drive [18:17] gregL: what does that mean? do you just not have permission to view the directory or do the files not show up? [18:17] hello, can some one help me? I just lost my background after a reboot and I cannot right click on the desktop, all I see is a black screen. Then I got this error message saying: Unable to set transparent background, You may be using a non compliant window manager that is not currently supported. [18:18] Im using hardy btw [18:18] pakratt:correct [18:18] MrFawkes: do a sudo apt-get install sysv-rc-conf, then run sudo sysv-rc-conf, its a great way of starting and stoping services at boot time [18:18] gregL: You may be right. [18:18] ouellettest, what wm are you using? [18:18] ouellettesr: try changing the wm in session at login [18:18] gregbrady: gregL is right. It's not secondary IDE controller, that'd be (1,x), sorry. [18:18] adamw_: thanks [18:18] ouellettesr, did you remove nautilus [18:18] jknight, using gnome, with compiz and emerald [18:19] nope I havent done anything except for reboot [18:19] gregL: can you access the directory as root? [18:19] ouellettesr, can you get a failsafe terminal from gdm? [18:19] how can you edit a or change permissions to an OSX Journaled drive? [18:20] szkud: probably need a mac to do that [18:20] szkud: shared with ubuntu? [18:20] jknight, everything works, like panel and all my apps, just the background is black and I cannot right click [18:20] hey everyone [18:20] i need some help here [18:20] yit4s: just ask :) [18:20] Can someone help me with installing Ubuntu on an old white box? [18:20] so yes, I can get to a terminal [18:20] I'm getting a Hardware abstraction layer hald [18:20] ouellettesr, open a terminal and type in "nautilus" in the prompt, see if that works [18:20] pakratt:: I tried using sudo but it fails..I can;t seem to get root...I am used to Fedor where i could gain root...This my first ubuntu install so a bit lost.. [18:21] bazhang: it's my macbook in target disk mode plugged into my linux computer [18:21] Axiin, white boxes are not supported [18:21] where do I start trying to troubleshoot this? [18:21] dystopianray that means i should check "Mount CD/DVD Drive, Host CD/DVD Drive and Enable passthrough"? [18:21] well, i cant get my wireless working on ubuntu. currently using the hardy heron [18:21] it shows up as read-only [18:21] nhaines, sorry I never got the original reply from gregL. Which physical drive is hd 2,0? [18:21] Axxin just kidding [18:21] ok hardy not printing anyone? [18:21] .... I was going to say =) [18:21] gregL: to get to a regular root shell, just use "sudo -s" [18:21] ouellettesr, can you open my computer or places, if it gives you an error about icon.. you need to reinstall nautilus [18:21] qwiksand: no need to enable passthrough, just use the host cdrom [18:21] gregbrady: He said it's the first USB thumbdrive. Assuming you don't have more than one IDE controller this is probably correct. [18:21] i need to get my wireless working [18:21] yit4s: what wireless hardware are you using? [18:21] jknight, nautilus opens my home folder [18:22] szkud: target disk mode? what are you trying to do? [18:22] dystopianray yeah done..whats next? [18:22] Chapai, yeah works fine [18:22] The reason I specified it was a white box is because I'm not exactly sure what hardware is in it. I sort of bought it at a church rummage sale... [18:22] nhaines, I think there is some confusion here. I have no usb drives. Just 3 hard drives. [18:22] qwiksand: start the vm === x1250_ is now known as x1250 [18:22] atheros built in wireless card [18:22] Axiin: pastebin the contents of lshw please [18:22] pakratt : tried that (Googled) didn't work either.. I will go back and try again..thanks.. [18:22] I just want to make a server so I can remote to it while I'm at work and not worry about breaking some work hardware =) [18:22] bazhang: I'm trying to remove some files that screw up the boot: http://unsanity.com/support.php?vf=43 [18:22] ouellettesr, and it doesn't restore the background? strange. try typing in "nautilus -replace" [18:22] IM back I folowed the binary driver install guide and it still messes up, any ideas its like its not really instlling the fglrx drivers, and the xorg.conf seems to be missing a lot of stuff I dot the aticonfig --initial and it errors saying there are no entries for a device driver.. its rather problemtic [18:22] How do I do that Baz? [18:22] gregbrady: (2,0) would be the primary drive on a second IDE controller. [18:22] Axxin you might want to look into xubuntu [18:23] Xubuntu is great. [18:23] nhaines, thanks! [18:23] why is this line not working for a search and replace?: find ./ -type f -exec sed -i 's/$mosConfig_sef = '0';/$mosConfig_sef = '1';/' {} \; [18:23] xubuntu? I've never used a distro other than normal Ubuntu? [18:23] i searched something on google, tried it and i screwd [18:23] szkud: best to do that directly with your mac [18:23] Well.... CGROUP_SCHED fixes SOME of the audio dropouts..... [18:23] bazhang: it's preventing me from even booting to the command line on my mac [18:23] Axiin: Xubuntu is a supported variant of Ubuntu. [18:23] but..... I still get dropouts when I close my laptop lid. [18:23] !xubuntu [18:23] Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels [18:23] yit4s: what wireless hardware are you using? [18:23] eTiger13: s/sed -i/sed -i .bak/ [18:23] bazhang: that's why I'm trying to remove those files remotely [18:23] Whats different about it compared to ubuntu? [18:24] How to disable sound in Linux? [18:24] szkud: what you are trying will further damage it--best to ask in ##apple [18:24] i'm using atheros wireless card [18:24] came with my alptop [18:24] yit4s: have you installed madwifi? [18:24] bazhang: alright [18:24] jknight, that command does not work, it doesn't recognize -replace as an option [18:24] how would I go about restoring any remains of a broken partition? I can only seem to see it in testdisk [18:24] what is the format for scp when already sshed in the box [18:24] Axiin: Instead of GNOME it has Xfce, instead of OpenOffice.org it has Abiword and Gnumeric, etc. You can still install anything from Ubuntu because it is still Ubuntu. [18:24] I want to disable tooltips in gdm. [18:24] i did [18:24] gregL: so you're not able to get sudo to work at all? the password should just be the same as your regular user password. if that doesn't work, i'm lost, sorry [18:24] dystopianray VirtualBox kernel driver not installed. The vboxdrv kernel module was either not loaded or /dev/vboxdrv was not created for some reason. Please install the virtualbox-ose-modules package for your kernel, e.g. virtualbox-ose-modules-generic.. [18:24] yit4s: sorry, i'm coming in to the covo late. you may have already answered that [18:24] ek, huh? [18:25] is it possible to update ubuntu straight from 6.10 to 8.04 ? [18:25] yit4s: do you see anything in dmesg or /var/log/messages to help? [18:25] I still think madwifi is bad naming. [18:25] but i dont know whether it's working cuz i'm a newb [18:25] It's atheros, not MADtheros... [18:25] qwiksand: you need to install and load the virtualbox kernel modules [18:25] Nhaines: would that help my "Starting Hardware abstraction layer hald" problem? [18:25] dont suppose there is a specific channel for ubuntu ati problems is there lol [18:25] so where the heck do they get "MAD" from? Mutually Assured Destruction? [18:25] It's been hanging here for like... 2 hours [18:25] d0Ck: No, you must upgrade from one release to another. [18:25] babolat: Are you there? I fixed the problem. [18:25] pakratt: yes it works for all other things except that drive..I may have to ftp the files to myself.... [18:25] he sysadmin here at work says it's an issue, and for me to google how to fix it but I'm not even sure where to start =) [18:25] hmmm [18:25] Axiin: Probably not, but it will probably run faster if you do get things working. Xubuntu wasn't my suggestion. :) [18:25] eTiger13: If you're using 'sed -i', you should suppy a .bak extension so the backup file is created. Also, run with '-e' as well. Try: sed -i .bak -e "s|old_string|new_string|" [18:25] since no one answered me right away here, I just posted my problem here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=779052 if anyone is willing to take a look, thanks! [18:26] ii'm not sure cuz i'm a total newb [18:26] solusian: so sorry, whicj problem was that again? [18:26] nhaines: and from CD, if i have my hardy burned there ? [18:26] Axxin the biggest advantage to running Xubuntu is because it uses less system resources to run the OS. Perfect for older pc's [18:26] how would I go about restoring data from a partition? [18:26] ahhhh [18:26] I installed ubuntu-desktop package from kubuntu, my boot screen still shows the kubuntu logo. how can I change this to ubuntu logo? I have selected GDM and disabled KDM [18:26] babolat: WiFi suddenly stopped workig for no reason at all.. Here's how I fixed it.. [18:26] i did tried madwifi thing but i'm not sure whether it;s working or not [18:26] Thank you Ouellettsr [18:26] gregL: what file system is it? is it mounted correctly? [18:26] np [18:26] yit4s: are you using network manager [18:26] dystopainray so go back to synatpic and install all the modules there [18:26] polysilicon: throw /usr/bin/gdm into /etc/X11/default-desktop-manager [18:26] Ok... so what IS this "Starting Hardware abstraction layer hald" ? [18:26] d0Ck: It doesn't matter. You still must upgrade to 7.04, then 7.10, and then you can upgrade to 8.04 LTS (from CD if you have it). [18:27] I need a good music player that can handle my iPod and last.fm submits [18:27] solusian: well, my congrats to you ;) [18:27] babolat: I tried a usb wifi dongle in between, that didn't really work out.. so I downloaded a .deb from wicd and removed network-manager through the synaptic manager. Installed wicd and that fixed it. [18:27] Can anyone help me with reading/writing my NTFS drive? [18:27] i've just installed 1.7 and the gnome panel and the menu bars are red, how do i change that? i've tried changing to a custom Emerald theme, but they are still red. do i need a GTK theme? [18:27] You can go LTS to LTS [18:27] Axiin: It's a standard status notification. HAL is software that sits between the hardware and other services to make it easier to support softwrae. [18:27] solusian: clever and creative u are ;) [18:27] !ntfs | MythGuy [18:27] babolat: Just thought I'd share considering that you had others inquire about the issue as well. Maybe it'll help for them as well. [18:27] MythGuy: 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 [18:27] pakratt: Yes it is mounted...i can view the files,just not able to retrive them... [18:27] ek, how do i make it search within a specific file? [18:27] xintron: what about amarok or rhytmbox? [18:27] bogey-: He's starting with 6.10. [18:27] hi [18:27] fde, I did that [18:27] ohh [18:27] nhaines: is it possible to uninstall ubuntu without affecting any other OSs on my pc ? [18:27] then its a do-release-upgrade for him [18:27] how would I restore parts of an ext3 partition? [18:27] eTiger13: use grep "search" "file" [18:27] yit4s: have you gone out to the madwifi website to see if your specific hardware is supported [18:28] atlef: Well, I have amarok but it doesn't find my iPod automatically [18:28] le1 what happened [18:28] qwiksand: install the virtualbox modules for your kernel [18:28] gregL: what are the permissions of the files? it sounds like you have permission to read the directory but not the files [18:28] solusian: will remember that.. though u coming in and helping out in the room might be a better idea if we want people to get fixin' [18:28] d0Ck: yes, it is, but if you have GRUB installed on your Ubuntu partition, it is hazardous. Removing Ubuntu's partitions and then reinstalling Ubuntu 8.04 will let you boot everything again. [18:28] i did but i'm not so sure with everything as i dont know nothing about linux/ubuntu [18:28] Yeah, true enough! [18:28] I have some spare time now anyway, so may as well. [18:28] dtolj, im trying to do a search and replace on a folder and its subdirs looking for a line in a specific file in each of those subdirs [18:28] eTiger13: As dtolj says. Or, you can state the file's name with -name "filename" to find. [18:28] bazhang: well it got wiped, some stuff got overwritten, i'm hoping I can at least restore parts of my home directory, such as my Firefox bookmarks. I can see the partition if I do a scan in testdisk [18:29] anyone know a good way to record streamed audio? [18:29] pakratt: let me check... [18:29] audacity just isn't working :S [18:29] does anyone else have any idea why my background is black / not working? [18:29] eTiger13: Ah. I see what you mean. You only want it to create backups and replace in files that contain 'string'? [18:29] looking for a ubuntu ati expert before I break my desk from banging my head on it :D [18:29] le1 best option is to get a live system rescue cd from www.distrowatch.com imo [18:29] xopey: i need a clear solution, those from the web confuse me [18:29] ill go see [18:29] thanks [18:29] ouellettesr: i had that problem too [18:29] i had to log out a couple times [18:29] gvorr with hardy? [18:29] ya [18:30] ok ill try that [18:30] ek, yeah, im trying to change a config option in a file that is in every subfolder [18:30] nhaines: when i am installing 8.04 i just have to delete ubuntu partition ? [18:30] i have a problem with Kubuntu 8.04 can you help me? [18:31] !ask | gil [18:31] gil: 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. :-) [18:31] thats a point, how do I burn a disc when I am booting with a live CD already? [18:31] d0Ck: Yes, that's basically it. [18:31] gvorr, lol that worked [18:31] eTiger13: you can use something like this: find . -iname "*" -exec grep -H "search query" {} \; [18:31] ok tankyou [18:31] eTiger13: perl in combination with find works well for that. [18:31] nhaines: and what file system does it have ? [18:31] ouellettesr: good stuff [18:31] is a problem with ati drivers [18:31] eTiger13: find . -type f -exec grep -q "search_string" {} \; -exec sed -i .bak -e "s|old_string|new_string|" {} \; [18:31] nhaines: to identify it [18:31] ouellettesr: :) -->https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToRipRealaudioStreamsToMp3 [18:31] eTiger13: this only finds the querry in all files in curr dir dont know about replacing it [18:31] atlef: Do you know if amarok och rythmbox handles iPod Playlist folders? [18:32] pajamian, do you have the syntax i could use [18:32] pakratt: I unpluged the drive and put it back in now it seems to work...Thanks for the suggestions.... [18:32] how to get virtualbox to work with usb [18:32] d0Ck: ext3fs by default. You may also want to delete the swap and have the installer use the "largest contiguous free space" to make repartitioning automatic. [18:32] ? [18:32] anas the ose one does not [18:32] i'll rephrase my problem: i need to get my atheros wireless card to work on ubuntu hardy. i'm only a day old user ubuntu. can anybody help me?? [18:32] gil: more infor on your problem would make stuff easier for us :) [18:32] eTiger13: What I just typed is something I use all the time. It'll work. [18:32] xintron: see, now you lost me. I have no idea. But try their homepages for more info [18:32] eTiger13: find . -name filename -print0 | xargs -0 perl -pi -e 's/foo/bar/' [18:32] how to get virtualbox to work with usb ? [18:33] eTiger13: yea i would go with what ek said [18:33] !wireless | yit4s [18:33] how do i use scp when already in the system [18:33] yit4s: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [18:33] wth i just got logged out?? or x just crashed on me [18:33] ok tank you i have a problem also with language [18:33] anas get the one from their website [18:33] sorry [18:33] atlef: okej, do you have any clue how to get amarok to autodetect my iPod? [18:33] bazhang thanks [18:33] nhaines: so i just delete the ext3 partition and thats all ? [18:33] xintron: it should do that by default [18:33] gil what is the problem === jabba is now known as jabba_ === jabba_ is now known as jabba__ [18:34] xintron: this is gutsy or hardy [18:34] d0Ck: That and the swap partition. You can run the Desktop CD and do it from there. Just turn swap off first (right-click on it in GPartEd) ebfore deleting. [18:34] lo jabba grew a tail [18:34] ek, am i supposed to replace the .bak with something? it just repeated cant read .bak no such file over and over [18:34] gil: all in ONE line.provide all the relevant details to your issue.. and append the name of the person u're talking to if there is ;) [18:34] my NTFS partition refuses to be mounted. [18:34] d0Ck: After all that, run the installer. But remember that this will delete all your Ubuntu data. [18:34] I'm running 7.10 on i386. My Update Manager is offering to upgrade me to '8.04 LTS'. Is upgrading this way as risky as this kinda' thing used to be? Or should i just back up what i need, and reinstall all from scratch? [18:34] i installed madwifi (i think i did( but i'm not sure it worked or not [18:34] bazhang: Now you lost me [18:34] >_> [18:34] eTiger13: ek's will work too, I'm just more of a perl person so I tend to use perl. [18:34] is it possible to specify on what monitor a application should start ? [18:35] anyone know of a good contact mangagement program? [18:35] xintron: which version of ubuntu 7.10 or 8.04 [18:35] subopt: not really, if you've got a decent Internet connection and all your updates ar good [18:35] eTiger13: No. The .bak is the extension that should be added to the old file after sed has replaced it with the new file. [18:35] 8.04 [18:35] shane2peru: sugarcrm [18:35] subopt it should be fine if your make a tinfoil hat and wear it during the process [18:35] xintron: which app? amarok gtkpod or what [18:35] ikonia, I have looked at that, it is a bit more complex than I need [18:35] MatBoy: Some apps support it, like emacs/xemacs. Some don't. [18:35] iif I install drivers ati the PC is overheated and it is not extinguished [18:35] ek, it didnt [18:35] bazhang: amarok [18:35] is the info here still valid as of 8.04? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=305665 [18:35] ikonia, and a bit complex to install too. :) Any others? [18:35] hiya guys! [18:35] shane2peru: search the repo's [18:36] shane2peru: there may be others in tehre [18:36] anyone know about cups breaking on an upgrade? [18:36] subopt, because all applications are starting on a different monitor after upgrading to hardy :S [18:36] So, i've got one vote *for* the upgrade, one *against*. [18:36] gil: which driver have u installed? [18:36] tried to install xubuntu-desktop in ubuntu, which worked fine. [18:36] ikonia, I've looked, nothing really stands out, [18:36] how would I restore data from a partially erased ext3 partition? i cant burn a disc because im already in a live cd [18:36] subopt, i did it everything went fine [18:36] eTiger13: Hrm. Try '-i.bak' (No space between '-i' and '.back') [18:36] onely when I try to log in, it doesnt. not even the splash screen comes up. [18:36] s/.back/.bak/ [18:36] shane2peru: there you go then [18:36] ati for my video card ati radeon x 1600 512mb [18:36] MatBoy: Can't help you w/that. Sorry.

[18:36] I'm having some problems with xorg.conf. I have two displays, each on their own video card.. One onboard and the other pci. I can get one or the other to work at any given time, but never together.. anyone have any ideas? [18:36] subopt, NP! [18:36] ls [18:36] ikonia, I guess I will have to give sugarcrm another look, thanks [18:37] Oopsie! [18:37] shane2peru: enjoy [18:37] ouellettesr: Guess i'll do the backup, then give it a try. Thanks. [18:37] xintron: quit amarok; (not to system tray fully quit); attach ipod; open amarok; configure device in amarok settings; transfer files , etc.; remove (safely in amarok) then umount from destop (rioght click) done [18:37] np [18:37] Can someone tell me what the "ssb" module is? Is it related to USB devices? [18:37] hey gil you said your sys overheated, but you got the drivers to work right? [18:37] How lol [18:37] gil: have u installed Restricted Drivers for ur graphics card? [18:37] is edubuntu something that can be installed within ubuntu....like installing kde (kubuntu)? [18:38] the same thing happens with all the drivers I try to install [18:38] gregbrady: it is an addon in hardy [18:38] how would I restore data from a partially erased ext3 partition? i cant burn a disc because im already in a live cd [18:38] the restricted package dosent work for me nor dose the fglrx i get from apt so im lost [18:38] John_S: ssb is support for the Sonics Silicon Backplane bus.

I was hoping it could be fixed with that information [18:58] hi - I've just got the hardy disk and want to install fresh as software raid0 on 2 80gig sata drives [18:58] eTiger13: I also noticed that I mixed the -exec and xargs 'echo' stuff together. You only need "| xargs echo" at the end. Not "| xargs -0 echo {} -". Lol. [18:58] I run kde through gdm. where do I find out when kde 4.1 alpha will be available [18:58] too used to real debian and CentOS now [18:58] hello all [18:58] I'm hopeless.

[18:58] Thats what I would reccomend. Two days ago I got an error upon bootup saying it could not correctly detect my videocard and needed to use a lower resolution. That is how I repaired the problem in my situation. Whether or not there is another solution i do not know [18:58] AnthroTechie: perhaps if you file a new bug or add it to an existing one [18:58] just installed ubuntu moving from fedora core [18:59] i like it alot :) [18:59] i tried that, and it said no process killed [18:59] bazhand: http://www.gnomefiles.org/app.php?soft_id=2228 [18:59] coolkid112: what about killing gnome-panel [18:59] can anyone help?

[19:00] hmm, cant seem to understand magicrescue. fdisk only sees one partition on the disk, so can gparted [19:00] Can anyone help me get back my menu bar? =S [19:00] eish - I forgot about that [19:00] but if I mount it, I get the overwritten 200MB partition [19:00] thanks [19:00] ravious: sorry, did you miss my message, I can't get access to my box at home, but I can offer it in approx 40 mins when I get home [19:01] rtm1981: generally it is a good idea to stick to the repos unless you know what are doing with outside stuff [19:01] ikonia: ah its kewl dont worry about it. I'll keep searching [19:01] I run kde through gdm. where do I find out when kde 4.1 alpha will be available for kde through ubuntu? [19:01] Chapai: it's detected alright.. just not getting through... [19:01] noelferreira: still looking, iirc its something to do with the scheduler [19:01] i've just installed 1.7 and the gnome panel and the menu bars are red, how do i change that? i've tried changing to a custom Emerald theme, but they are still red. do i need a GTK theme? [19:01] Le1: if it was overwritten then the chances of you getting data off the original partition is not very good. === skt is now known as ryugaka [19:01] Bazhang: you mean stick with the stuff in "add/remove"? :P [19:01] ubottu === usuariolfp18_ is now known as jvargas [19:01] my video and sound are lost after installing modules for virtualbox..not getting the right screen res and no sound, what do i do? i dont want to have to physically take them out [19:01] thewhitepelican: I don't know much about kde, but doesn't the latest version of kubuntu have it? [19:02] thsnks,calc [19:02] ek, this is what im getting: http://pastebin.com/m70e15c62 [19:02] not sure but I'm not using kubuntu [19:02] Has anyone here ever built a local Ubuntu/Debian mirror?

[19:02] rtm nay the stuff in synaptic and apt-cache search--> if you really know your stuff outside stuff is fine; but if not then plan on spending alot of time fixing your machine [19:02] thewhitepelican: you mean you don't want to use kubuntu? [19:02] for snort ips i need to recompile it with iptable? [19:02] coolkid whats wrong? [19:02] more details [19:02] correct neeto [19:02] My menu bar disspeared. But dont tell me to type >gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel< cause it doenst work [19:02] Can i upgrade straight from Feisty to Heron or do i need to upgrade to gutsy first and then heron ? [19:02] kk... thanks Bazhang :) [19:03] coolkid112: did you try killing gnome-panel [19:03] yeah [19:03] it said no process killed [19:03] thewhitepelican: install it with apt and switch into it with gdm? [19:03] coolkid112: how [19:03] Signius: First upgrade to gutsy and make sure it's entirely up to date before upgrading to hardy. [19:03] coolkid112: no not that [19:03] question: how do i get crisp clear monospace fonts after installing hardy? [19:03] eTiger13: Well, being as you're editing a possible 700,000 files, this is no surprise. [19:03] Forget it I'll ask on the forums. [19:03] Le1: the only thing I can recommend that may possibly get your data back is to run grep on the raw partition to see if you can find the data you need, search for a bookmark name you know is in the file or a url or something. You can use context to get most or all of the file before and after the match. [19:03] coolkid112, did it disappear magically or did you delete it? [19:03] eTiger13: Let me shed some light on what's going on... [19:03] i typed in "gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel" in the terminal and it said no process killed [19:03] it magically dissapeared [19:04] Chapai: i'm not getting this... sorry [19:04] I just installed ubuntu last night ._. [19:04] coolkid112: please pastebin your sources.list [19:04] eTiger13: When you pipe to xargs it does the find job, then the xargs job. Which means once find finds all files you're looking for, xargs executes everything on a single line. [19:04] where is that located? [19:04] noelferreira: i can't find the bug report i saw a few days ago, you might want to ask someone in #ubuntu-kernel about it [19:04] @Coolkid112: Have you tried " sudo debconf gnome-panel " [19:04] its alright, thanks for checking babolat [19:04] eTiger13: -exec on the other hand, executes once per find. [19:04] noelferreira: the one that might be related is bug 188226 [19:04] Launchpad bug 188226 in linux "Kernel should use CONFIG_FAIR_CGROUP_SCHED" [Low,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/188226 [19:04] coolkid112: /etc/apt/sources.list [19:04] noelferreira: but that is old so i doubt it is the same issue [19:04] eTiger13: Therefore, in your situation (I didn't know this earlier), it would be better to use -exec. [19:04] thanks [19:05] ek, not exactly, xargs knows how long the command line can be and fits as many args per command as possible. [19:05] * calc is going to look a few more min [19:05] !paste | coolkid112 put it here [19:05] coolkid112 put it here: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [19:05] pajamian: Should, yes. But, he's still getting the 'too long' error. [19:05] ek: strange, xargs shouldn't do that.

I haven't actually had the problem myself. But, I've read about it. [19:06] coolkid112: sudo apt-get install pastebinit [19:06] thewhitepelican: kde.org [19:07] what should i paste? [19:07] noelferreira: its fixed in -proposed now [19:07] noelferreira: will be in hardy-updates eventually [19:07] ek, how would i add the echo to that? [19:07] coolkid112: the cat /etc/apt/sources.list | pastebinit [19:07] noelferreira: you can update from hardy-proposed however in the meantime if you wish [19:07] eTiger13: It's already added. [19:07] ek, yup just noticed that lol [19:08] Hey guys.. anybody know any particular reason why ndiswrapper freezes after a long period of being connected [19:08] * delcoyote hi [19:08] That command should find every file with "search_string" in it, echo it to you as 'Editing filename', then create a .bak backup of the file and make the sed replacements. [19:08] calc, how do i update from proposoals. is an option in repositories? [19:08] cashmoney: because it uses windows drivers? :) [19:08] and it won't let me remove it and add it until I reboot [19:08] babolat, it works now, i tried to compare the logs ( i have a working reader) i got no errors with just the reader, so it i put in the media after and it works, [19:08] I have no idea what you mean baz [19:08] I installed the paste bin by putting the command in the terminal [19:08] noelferreira: yea it should be an option you can enable, its listed in /etc/apt/sources.list as well if you hand edit that file, or probably can enable in synaptic (i don't use it) [19:08] coolkid112: open a terminal alt f2 gnome-terminal [19:08] 1499 people in this channel! krikee [19:08] ek: can always set -s, then [19:08] I have a wg111t wireless usb dongle [19:08] LINUXUSER, im here hehe [19:08] i have a terminal open [19:09] Chapai: that was what i told u before :/ [19:09] calc, i had it enabled and i just update from the main server but i still have the ame problem [19:09] coolkid112: then sudo apt-get install pastebinit [19:09] ek, umm that didnt work too well [19:09] How to remove sound module from linux, says FATAL: module in use. [19:09] ok, i did [19:09] and I guess linux doesn't support the chipset although it uses the atheros chipset [19:09] just checking - have there been any updates for Hardy default packages since the official launch? [19:09] eTiger13: Erm? [19:09] calc, do i need to restart some process? [19:09] pajamian: True. [19:09] noelferreira: apparently the kernel might not currently get installed by default [19:09] I have made the tooltips in gnome dark gray. This was in effort to get my gdm greeter to display a tooltip that matched it's color. Strangely enough, I can now run gdmthemetester and everything will run fine, the tooltip will be the color I want it to be, and then when I load gdm for real, it will be the default color... anyone have any ideas? [19:09] Chapai: anyways, kudos [19:09] noelferreira: you would need to reboot the whole machine its a kernel update [19:09] it says "setting up pastebin" [19:09] Is there a way to go back to Firefox 2.x on Hardy? [19:09] bachstudies: there are additional repos [19:09] ok [19:09] i 'found' [19:09] thanks [19:09] !repeat | neeto [19:09] neeto: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you.

[19:11] how to avoid no root file defined [19:11] so you are saying that i should wait for a kernel update?

I have a problem ... my hd cant be mount and I dunno why .. im sure the hd works good cuz it worked with gutsy untill I installed hardy ... it works with windows too ... it was formatted in fat32 but it didnt work .... so I formatted in ntfs but I didnt fix the problem ... if I try to mount it manually console says me that device doesnt exist ... but fdisk -l tells me it exists ... here is a pastebin for my fdisk -l and fstab ... the hd is sdb1 ... [19:11] thank you [19:11] http://pastebin.com/m60ef87fb [19:11] noelferreira: or look in the list of kernels and select the correct one for your system :) [19:11] noelferreira: waiting would ensure you get the right version though [19:11] eTiger13: What are you trying to change? [19:11] coolkid112: looks fine; what happened before the gnome panel disappeared; also in top can you see it [19:11] bachstudeis: yes i hope their content will soon be updated - but for immediate updates - this list is pretty good - http://vminch.googlepages.com/hardyoshelpdesksrc.list [19:12] vminch: thanks [19:12] can anyone help me with a Evolution and Exchange problem [19:12] coolkid112: never mind about top that is wrong [19:12] ok I finally got fglrx kinda working, it took me haveing to got to the recovery console and reconfigure x that way but I know its working cause my video is all jerky now, and I did a fglrxinfo any clues on how to fix the jerky video [19:12] d0ck: check that u have the right grub values [19:12] i cant see it on top or bottom and what happened was i shut off comp and when i logged back in it wasnt there [19:12] bachstudies: no, thanks for trying it - you may get igns and errs, but there are very good updates on there [19:12] anyone know of a good software package that will allow me to play counterstrike in ubuntu? [19:12] cashmoney: wine? [19:12] pppoe_dude: that would work to the !install command has a nice link :) [19:13] ek, i know which file the line is in, can i limit by that? [19:13] vminch, does wine utilize opengl? [19:13] eTiger13: Sure. [19:13] cashmoney: im sure it has that capability [19:13] cashmoney: it can [19:13] vminch: i will try. So definitely no official updates through normal channels yet? I find it odd given that Hardy as been out for about a week [19:13] hi all, got a serious problem with sudo here [19:13] !wine | cashmoney [19:13] cashmoney: 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.

[20:19] np ! 3 partition in extended partition one is root / one is /home and one is swap , swap is 2*RAM capacity [20:19] blind: also you may need to set up the nameservers on the ubuntu box [20:19] frostburn: yeah I've been looking at cat6E, wondering if it will make a big enough diff with my 100mb network... everything is gigabit BUT my router :( [20:19] logical partition ! [20:19] frostburn: i've got all cat 5 and cat5E right now [20:20] been in here for the longest time, threw out my questions and none have been answered [20:20] I noticed on the presentation flash here http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/804features/office-tools/ a 3D display of openoffice, could someone explain to me how I can get openoffice to do that, right now on my computer its just flat [20:20] anyone hear of a laser printer printing the test page in reverse where if you look through the page you see the image correctly [20:20] Do anyone knows why wvdial is not on the ubuntu server cd? can that really be true? [20:20] soulc: some printers have a Mirror option. [20:20] brane linux is gonna be my fourth primary, how can i make an extended swap partiiton ? [20:20] n6rej, i got a nice new one off of newegg for 45$ netgear 8 porter, metal(!) case [20:20] crimsun: hey again, just one quick question... why is it that raw1394 is owned by the disk group anyways? Do you know? [20:21] frostburn: oh very nice! [20:21] d0ck: "The number of partitions on an Intel-based system was limited from the very beginning: The original partition table was installed as part of the boot sector and held space for only four partition entries. These partitions are now called primary partitions. " [20:21] I think my printer got set in that mode then [20:21] d0ck: "One primary partition of a hard drive may be subpartitioned. These are logical partitions. This effectively allows us to skirt the historical four partition limitation. " [20:21] d0ck: you can have only 4 partitions, with IDE drives. If you want more than that, replace one of the primaries with an extended and put logicals inside of that. [20:21] Whose bright idea was it to include all these "locked down" measures in Firefox ? [20:21] When I try to install the nvidia 169.12 driver, i restart X and it fails and goes to safe mode. When I roll back to 100.14.19 it works just fine. Anyone know whats up? [20:21] no you cant ! only if you have 3 primary ! [20:22] I guess no one knows about 3D desktops... [20:22] how do I upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04 using a 8.04 CD? [20:22] anyone who knows something about ubuntu? [20:22] server [20:22] !ask | nikolaj [20:22] nico _ check [20:22] Ubottu must be offline :S [20:22] Ubotu, were art thou? [20:23] nikolaj: I'd recommend #ubuntu-server but it's a very quiet channel. [20:23] because linux have lot partitions - let it be logical ! in extended ! [20:23] which file system does windows use ? [20:23] Thanks [20:23] nikolaj: or just ask in here [20:23] d0ck: Windows is NTFS or FAT/FAT32. [20:23] d0ck: normally FAT32 (Windows) or NTFS (Windows NT, including 2000, XP, and Vista). [20:24] could grub create some partitions ? [20:24] I logged into hardy today and there was a message saying something about HOME/.dmrc being ignored .. and now everything looks strange..... whats happened? [20:24] grub is bootloader, nto partition editor. [20:24] d0ck: no, use cfdisk or gparted. [20:25] shi, i have to quit installing now :( [20:25] or should i just create a swap file ? === tuirgin is now known as tuirgin_ === tuirgin_ is now known as tuirgin [20:26] Wie sehen Sie Download Ubuntu [20:26] I also have slow scrolling with 8.04, it's apparently Ubuntulooks/Clearlook.

[20:39] jf_: It's mostly because Adobe Flash is proprietary, and thus we can't fix issues with it ourselves, and they don't care enough about Linux at this point.

[20:39] gnash [20:39] tushyd: I have no idea, I haven't seen any sign of source code being released, so gnash and swfdec are still the best hopes [20:40] fde: how do i get rid of gnash, then?

[20:42] mike, did you try opening up the ports? [20:42] mike: it's your connections [20:42] tushyd: he gets to transfer some data, the ports are obviously open [20:42] jf_: Adobe already did. [20:42] jf_: Adobe are part of the Linux Foundation now, so we'll see what comes of that. [20:42] please help.... I am being told on login that HOME/.dmrc is being ignored..... and everything is screwed up when I login..... please help!!!

[20:43] ghostknife: not true. i was getting really slow transfers on torrents but when I opened the ports on my router/modem it flew [20:43] But if it's my connections, I guess there's nothin' I can do, is there? [20:43] Help, I tried to update to 08.04 we had a power shut down right after starting the upgrade and I have tried starting again with update manager but it just seems to freeze or lock up ... any suggestions [20:43] mike:you have flash?

Like in Photoshop [20:44] mike : goto http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/ and do a speed test [20:44] mikefoo1: try opening up all your ports, both udp/tcp [20:44] I need a bit of help with mounting an ntfs drive that didn't shut down right. I've tried to do what ubuntu tells me to, but I just get the message that only root can do what I ask [20:44] mike : and post the results [20:44] I did a "check cd" on ubuntu alternate, and it said one of the files is corrupt [20:45] so then I checked the md5 of the iso vs the one on the site [20:45] jf_: http://linux-foundation.org/weblogs/press/2008/03/30/adobe-joins-linux-foundation-with-focus-on-linux-for-web-20-applications/ [20:45] it's the same [20:45] jf_: This is starting to deviate from support though...

It currently has the latest ubuntu release installed, and it also has firewall builder and firestarter. Hardy heron is installed, and I believe it's the client version of the OS. Can it be used as a tunnel/firewall for other computers to access the internet? If so, what steps do I need to take to configu [20:45] does that mean the media was bad? [20:45] I have a network drive mounted in my fstab. I want to be able to search the whole drive via beagle, however I can't. If I search for "music" it shows up, but if I search for an artist in the music folder, it doesn't appear. How can I make sure that this drive is being indexed? [20:45] zeker: yes, it can [20:45] I added it in my beagle-settings already [20:46] I want to report a problem but it's definately not a bug. How do I report it?

I tried to install a new splash screen with Startup manager, but it won't work [20:50] belor1: Not sure, depends what it's telling you to do... I just skimmed briefly, and Hardy doesn't use Mode lines by default anymore though... it tries to auto-detect such things. [20:50] billy12, but none are centered like they were before [20:51] belor1> in System >administration >login windows [20:51] bullgard4, their Canada server has issues.

[21:25] javaTN: there is synaptic under system->administration, and then a user friendly add/remove thing on the menu [21:25] Ubhubdub: I seriously recommend you do not remove the default kernel though... I can't stress that enough... you could render your system unbootable and end up reinstalling. [21:25] most likely [21:25] javaTN: the add/remove thing isn't really a true package manager [21:25] billy12: Thank You [21:25] hi everybody [21:25] sorry... can someone help me please? when i try to start Ubuntu Hardy, it starts with the leftcount "Press 'Esc' to enter the menu"... after this, it shows the Ubuntu logo for a few seconds... and then i get the message: "BusyBox v1.1.13 (Debian 1:1.1.3-5ubuntu12) Built-in shell (ash) Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands. (initframs)" [21:26] might i ask why u didnt like wine [21:26] javaTN: only packages that are on a special list show up in it [21:26] where should i install an plugin for deskbar-applet? [21:26] oh, im just too new to this with this IRC window scrolling so fast (the mandriva IRC is more quiet) [21:26] np, any time [21:26] LaneLimited: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm [21:26] what is the kernel's package name again? [21:26] sanneo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu [21:26] its like overload, lol... i just click around to install etc, gotta learn how to use that apt-get command [21:26] guest: thank you. yes. ext3 reads 73.09 GiB, 2.64 Used. 70.45 unused, flagged as "boot" [21:26] PiojoSSo: it looks like a crash on booting. [21:26] billy12: wine was fine but mono was not working. I will reload wine..I need wine to run ie4linux so I can update my webpage [21:26] VLC (and Totem and mplayer) seems incapable of reading non-region2 DVDs. Yet it's perfectly capable of ignoring region code under windows. What piece am I missing? (yes, I've installed libdvdcss2 already, and read all of RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs). VLC gives a warning in its messages: "cannot get next block (Error reading NAV packet.)" [21:26] when you get help its always good to say thank you: http://blog.eddiemonge.com/2008/05/linux-search-and-replace-using-find-and.html [21:27] how do i do this dpkg-reconfigure??? [21:27] Ubhubdub: you need to figure that out if you want to remove it... building a kernel is a far more complicated process than looking for a package and removing it. [21:27] do you have a decent PC [21:27] (This is on a new laptop: a Toshiba portege R500) [21:27] Does anyone know How to fix the White screen of death issue.... [21:27] what should i do starnestommy? [21:27] LaneLimited: run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm" and follow the on-screen instructions [21:27] * calc bbl [21:27] do you have a decent pc [21:27] PiojoSSo: does "dmesg" output anything? [21:27] run it how? [21:27] billy12: my website admin section has a ie interface for website update [21:27] !sun-java6-jre [21:27] Factoid sun-java6-jre not found [21:27] LaneLimited: in a terminal [21:27] linux-image is the package [21:27] !java [21:27] 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) [21:27] how does the remove/add application thing manage it to uninstall apps like evolution without uninstalling ubuntu-desktop? [21:28] and if i mark that for complete removal, i will completely remove the old kernel [21:28] billy12: im on a dell D620 laptop with 2 gig ram and 100 gig 7200rpm drive [21:28] my update manager is freezing up and turning grey after starting the 08.04 upgrade any help here? [21:28] i'll try... would you wait a minute for me please? this is really pissing me off.. [21:28] hmm [21:28] you can run windows in a virtual PC and all your windows program's will work fine [21:28] jasperarcher, have you tried the "disk usage analyzer" to see what, if anything, is taking up all that space? [21:28] ikonia, Hi you there? [21:28] neXyon: You can't... ubuntu-desktop depends evolution ... it is safe to remove ubuntu-desktop though, but remember to install it again before you upgrade to the newest version in 6 months else you'll encounter issues. [21:28] whats the xwindows manual configure screen ? [21:29] fde, you said i must do sudo apt-get install kernel-package && man make-kpkg [21:29] http://www.virtualbox.org/ [21:29] Ubhubdub: yup... [21:29] what is that && man make-kpkg? [21:29] billy12: yea....I got vmware running fine.. I just liked the ie4linux quick access from wine. [21:29] wow getting compiz fusion to work again like i used to have it is hard [21:29] Ubhubdub: make-kpkg is a tool for building kernel .debs [21:29] [Tracker] Is it normal to have 23 different files 'file-index.tmp'? See http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/210635 [21:29] oh [21:29] how is vmware [21:29] starnestommy: dmesg shows lots of things... and i don't know what to do with them [21:29] Hey, does someone know how I get workspaces on all surfaces in Compiz [21:29] and the 'man' thing? [21:29] xaziva: do u mean all 4 sides of the cube? [21:29] guest: thank you. i have not tried that. will load it up presently. seems strange that GParted reports ext3 with 70 GiB free, but "System Monitor" does not list it? [21:30] PiojoSSo: what are some of the things that it's saying? [21:30] billy12: I am going to build my server with ubuntu server and run vmware next week on it... it has windows now [21:30] fde, and the 'man' thing? [21:30] fde how do i remove them? [21:30] Ubhubdub: It is a documentation viewer... or user MANual. [21:30] Ubhubdub :manual page [21:30] fde: well the add/remove application thing actually DOES it! [21:30] Can you give me that command again please for GDM..... also it said it won't take effect til x sessions end or something..... REELOAD FAILEd.... do i need restart or do it again?? [21:30] i see [21:30] ok let me try this [21:30] you are you going to but windows on it [21:30] why are you going to put windows on it [21:30] oh another thing... does the && mean AND? [21:31] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4864979#post4864979 [21:31] neXyon: yes... because you told it to remove a package that depends on ubuntu-desktop... [21:31] billy12: vmware is great but was very hard to get going... I fianlly found a great how that worked like a charm... want the link? [21:31] logical and? [21:31] naw qemu is good for me [21:31] My screen went black on the usplash during boot-up and nothing appears to happen after that. The laptop, an HP Pavilion with AMD64, worked fine previously so I'm not sure what caused the problem. [21:31] Ubhubdub: && means "when you're finished, do this other command" [21:31] !kde-desktop [21:31] Factoid kde-desktop not found [21:31] starnestommy: "[ 5018] usb 3-1: USB disconnect, address 2" thigs like this [21:31] !kde [21:31] KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu.

Latest KDE version is 3.5.8 for Gutsy and Feisty, 3.5.6 for Edgy, and 3.5.5 for Dapper. See http://kubuntu.org for more information. [21:31] Ubhubdub, the && only lets the next command run after the one before it [21:31] ok [21:31] Ubhubdub: kinda hard to read the kernel-package man page when it's not installed ;) [21:31] fde: but it doesn't remove ubuntu-desktop and that is the error, it breaks dependencies [21:31] Have there been any updates to Hardy yet? [21:31] !gdm [21:31] why not '&' ? [21:31] Factoid gdm not found [21:31] Ubhubdub : if you put in between two commands it means that second will run only if first is end up correctly [21:31] guest: when I "Scan Filesystem" in "Disk Usage Analyzer", it says my total filesystem capacity is 2.1 GiB and 1 GiB free... weird?! [21:31] why i cant use alsaconf!!! [21:32] !GDM [21:32] bullgard4: It looks like the tracker crashes. [21:32] Anyone help with getting WHITE screen of death fixed.... ?

[21:32] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4864979#post4864979 [21:32] zvacet, so it is like Boolean logic [21:32] you should use debian stable on a server [21:32] billy12: yes.. I will run windows 24/7 on the server with vmware [21:32] Starnestommy: "[ 5018] usb 3-1: USB disconnect, address 2" thigs like this... === _croPe_ is now known as _croPe|off_ [21:32] but y [21:32] I have a Pentium 233 MMX with 32 MB of RAM. What linux flavour I can install in this old machine?

[21:32] PiojoSSo: anything else? [21:32] Ubhubdub : you ask me too much now [21:33] jasperarcher, that is weird, open a terminal and run the command "df -h" see if that outputs anything useful [21:33] bullgard4: you can probably remove the whole .cache/tracker directory without any side effect [21:33] Can someone please tell me the command for GDM default again... what subu?? [21:33] LaneLimited: run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm" and follow the on-screen instructions [21:33] have you guys noticed that Firefox 2.0.0.14 is remembering states waaaay too long. eg. FF crashed yesterday, but when it came up it restored all the tabs I had open (perfectly). Now, every time I open it after a clean shutdown, it opens those same four tabs... I can't clear that "state" [21:33] lynet are you there? For some reason I can't seem to pm [21:33] Kl4m: Only very few people seem to know Tracker's innards. [21:33] Lynet, i see [21:33] billy12: I a small business and I have my customer database scheduling system which is windows [21:33] maap_rj, you're going to have a tough time installing anything on that, check out DSL linux [21:33] Lynet, thanks [21:33] oo [21:33] stupid webbrowser based irc...

[21:35] bullgard4: get rid of those files. If the tracker works it'll rebuild that directory and all the indexes soon [21:35] Thanks a lot [21:35] jasperarcher, its alright, did you get the message i sent you about "df -h" ? [21:35] lynet, because I'm a total linux n00b haha [21:35] Impossible I have runned it on 512mb [21:35] Ubhubdub . you allways have old one [21:35] PiojoSSo: I'm not sure how to fix it, but you may need to reinstall [21:35] qwiksand: I forgot to reply to you... remove the packages listed via 'dpkg -l virtualbox* | grep ^ii' as that is what seems to have caused your issues. [21:35] guest: i am still here, i ran df -h, it gave me 9 lines [21:35] bullgard4: I'm going to try it right now if you're nervous about it. [21:35] zvacet, yup [21:35] what does the first one say? [21:35] okay...thanx a lot... [21:35] i'll try... :S [21:36] zvacet, but to use the new kernel... how can i set that the new kernel is the default one? [21:36] VLC (and Totem and mplayer) seems incapable of reading non-region2 DVDs on my laptop. Yet it's perfectly capable of ignoring region code under windows. _What piece am I missing?_ (yes, I've installed libdvdcss2 already, and read all of RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs). VLC gives a warning in its messages: "cannot get next block (Error reading NAV packet.)" /var/log/messages is filled with "I/O... [21:36] ...error, dev sr0" [21:36] hey i was wondering if someone could help me with creox, it won't do any effects for my guitar [21:36] guest: tmpfs, 252M 16M used mounted on /lib/modeules/2.6.24-16-generic/volatile [21:36] Ubhubdub : it should show in grub [21:36] fde i dont understand how to do that [21:36] Ubhubdub: after installing the resulting .deb from make-kpkg you can just 'update-grub' and restart. [21:36] guest: it says the same thing for the second line [21:36] lynet, I know the theory, never done the practice. since desktop OS =/= server OS, i figured it would impose a problem, since most OS's were set up to handle personal firewalls, and not necessarily to be gateway trafficers [21:37] qwiksand: copy and paste not including ' 's into a terminal [21:37] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4864979#post4864979 [21:37] jasperarcher, is there anything that says "/dev/sd" ? [21:37] Ubhubdub : different number [21:37] erUSUL, i will look this distro now ;) thanks for the tip [21:37] fde, update grub? ok that's a thing you should guide me through [21:37] How do you revert back to the orginal Ubuntu drivers so I can get rid of this damn white screen of death ????????/// [21:37] Kl4m: I am not nervous. I am interested in normal functioning. And up to now my Tracker does not work all right in Hardy. For example it does not stop indexing or something similar. [21:37] My screen went black on the usplash during boot-up and nothing appears to happen after that. The laptop, an HP Pavilion with AMD64, worked fine previously so I'm not sure what caused the problem. [21:37] i must edit the menu-lst? [21:37] Ubhubdub: you'll just type it... it'll do it's thing [21:37] i must edit the menu.lst? [21:37] #ubuntu-fr [21:37] Ubhubdub : sudo update-grub [21:38] zeker: Ok. So, basic firewall/router fuctionality is part of the linux kernel (e.g., packet filtering, NAT). Tools like firestarter are really only providing a user interface for configuring it. [21:38] Ubhubdub: It'll do that for you... and activate any initrd's you create. [21:38] zvacet, oh i see [21:38] fde can u send it again not including that things i'm not suppose to paste [21:38] guest: there is a /dev/sdc1 1.9 GiB, 1GiB free, I think this is the pen drive with my pictures and documents on it... I should also say that so far I have always had to boot via a (different) pen drive, since I couldn't install from CD (physical damage to CD-ROM) [21:38] ok let me do this now [21:38] no one know how to help me with creox? [21:38] qwiksand: dpkg -l virtualbox* | grep ^ii [21:38] Damn scrolling is slow in firefox [21:38] I seriously regret this upgrade. [21:38] zvacet i;m doing just that now [21:38] Is there a way to revert ? [21:38] StavFX:What was your Creox problem? [21:38] lynet, I see what you mean [21:38] ghostknife: no [21:38] Hey, what IRC program do u use? [21:38] :< [21:39] xaziva: irssi [21:39] bullgard4: I removed it and asked tracker to reindex. it recreated it [21:39] xaziva: xchat, irssi, xchat-gnome, konversation, or telnet [21:39] Are there better gtk engines that murrina or clearlooks? [21:39] !info irssi > xaziva [21:39] Starnestommy: telnet? ouch [21:39] irssi? weak. real men use telnet [21:39] Kl4m: How long did it take? [21:39] RightSideLeft: it won't actually do any effects for my Line In although it doesn't give any error either (i have jackd running in the background) [21:39] fde did that and nothing happened [21:40] StavFX: are you sure your line in works? [21:40] hey there. [21:40] Mathman: well to be fair a use a combination of socat and raw tty scapping codes ;P [21:40] how do I configure my monitor? [21:40] bullgard4: it depends on how much stuff you have. On my office machine it's about 15 minutes [21:40] yes i can hear my guitar, just no effects [21:40] zvacet what happens after completion? [21:40] qwiksand: You said that you installed VirtualBox and got those errors? [21:40] I want to upgrade from Gutsy to Hardy. Do I need to back up my home directory? [21:40] I tried installing newest ubuntu on a MBP. but seems the hardware accelerated X is not working out of the box. ATI X1600. Is there anything I should do to enable it? [21:40] lynet, I have a clean install of ubuntu. I have both ethernet cards set up already, one's ip is set for internal traffic, the other for external (internet) traffic. If I direct a PC to ubuntu as its gateway, should it work even if the firewall isn't configured? [21:40] StavFX: did you click the run engine button in Creox (something like that)-I think its icon is little gears or something [21:40] pr0nGuy: no [21:40] how can I do such a thing: I need list of all files that end with -1.jpg or -2.jpg etc (those are duplicates)? [21:40] why are fonts in epiphany always so tiny and how do i correct taht? [21:41] yes, nothing happens [21:41] Kl4m: I did the same as you. It did not finish after 4 hours on my laptop computer. [21:41] qwiksand . if you mean after installing ubuntu extras then you should be able to play music [21:41] matt444: It should obey System > Preferences > Fonts. [21:41] pr0nGuy: depends on what you mean by "upgrade". [21:41] fde forgot to tell you, i went into synaptic, search of virtualbox and completely removed all of them [21:41] StavFX: youhave the effects enabled on the right side? [21:41] i don't have a system > preferences > fonts [21:41] qwiksand: Did you try restarting after that? [21:41] pr0nGuy: but heck, it never hurts to back up your home directory anyway [21:42] jasperarcher, so when you installed it you booted it from a pen drive? [21:42] terminal says, but nothing else happens. and yes effects are enabled [21:42] JACK tmpdir identified as [/dev/shm]SSE2 detected [21:42] How do you revert back to the orginal Ubuntu drivers so I can get rid of this damn white screen of death ????????/// [21:42] Mathman: using the update manager (GUI) [21:42] bullgard4: I think it should manage this, but maybe you have a cyclic symlink somewhere? [21:42] fde havent restarted since, restart now? [21:42] zeker: By default, it won't route. And unless you have internet-routable adresses on the internal network, you will have to do NAT (sometimes also called ipmasq). [21:42] pr0nGuy: that shouldn't touch your home directory at all, so no. [21:42] zvacet its not working, restart first? [21:43] matt444: gnome-appearance-properties ... in package 'gnome-control-center' [21:43] qwiksand: yup [21:43] guest: yes, since my CD-ROM doesn't work I put the install files on the USB and followed the instructions on pendrivelinux.com, i did not want to have to boot from a pen drive each time. However, when I set my BIOS to boot from my internal HD first, it hangs on a black screen with "GRUB _" [21:43] lynet, by internet-routable, do you mean DHCP enabled? [21:43] hello [21:43] fde soon come, will do just that [21:43] Kl4m: How can I check for cyclic symlinks? [21:43] anyone where do i go to configrue my monitor its limiting my resoulution and my refresh rate? [21:43] is there a way to change the www-data password? i am trying to setup my proftp using gproftp and want to use the www-data user [21:43] how do i tell which version of ubuntu i'm running? preferably from the command line. [21:43] join #irc [21:43] woops [21:43] heh [21:44] Is there possible to mount a windows share map= [21:44] zeker: No, I mean a block of adresses you have received by your ISP. For home/small businesses that's usually not done so don't worry about it. :) [21:44] davidfetter, "uname -a" [21:44] guest: the only way for me to boot is to have the pen drive, and in the pen drive menu, i choose "boot from hard drive" .. and then it works. its kind of annoying, and i would like to skip this extra step [21:44] davidfetter: lsb_release -a [21:44] neocrypter : sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [21:44] RightSideLeft: could creox/jackd be working on something that's not the line in? or another sound device? [21:44] well, i wasn't able to install the linux kernel [21:44] guest, and that'll say stuff like "feisty" or "heron?" [21:44] ty [21:44] guest, davidfetter : cat /etc/issue [21:44] guest: that tell's the version of the kernel, not ubuntu [21:44] Kl4m, guest, thanks :) [21:44] davidfetter: no, do what Myrtti said [21:44] Ubhubdub .: what happened [21:45] i did sudo apt-get install kernel-package && man make-kpkg [21:45] fde, Myrtti thanks :) [21:45] StavFX: how do you have Jack set up? [21:45] Ubhubdub: Ok... that won't have gotten you a kernel... that is instructions how to build a kernel. [21:45] Help, No themes will change the look of the folder icons [21:45] davidfetter: 'lsb_release -a' [21:45] i run it with the command jackd -d alsa -d hw:0 [21:45] No manual entry for make-kpkg [21:45] jasperarcher, i'm thinking you're running from the pen drive and not an actual install on your hard drive. i'm afraid i dont know how to help you out with that problem [21:46] that's what it said [21:46] Ubhubdub: you installed kernel-package, correct? [21:46] bullgard4, thanks :) [21:46] fde, i have the full source, not a .deb package [21:46] fde: may i wait for your help? [21:46] lynet, yay, one less thing to worry about :) [21:46] oh [21:46] Help, No icon themes will change the look of the folder icons [21:46] is there a way to change the www-data password? i am trying to setup my proftp using gproftp and want to use the www-data user [21:46] sortudo_78: Ask your question of the whole channel, if I know the answer, I'll tell you :) [21:46] i'm trying to watch a dvd using totem or vlc and they both say that the source is unreadable [21:47] my bad, i was trying to install the full source [21:47] lol [21:47] i know the dvd works, and one time, it worked in totem [21:47] let me try again [21:47] guest: i don't have any documents or files that i really need on here (only been a few days now), maybe I should just try a fresh install? [21:47] RightSideLeft: i'm unregistered, let me reg real quick so i can pm u back [21:47] Ubhubdub: Yes... make-kpkg will take that source, and create a .deb for easy management on a debian system. [21:47] ok fde [21:47] lynet, so how can I configure ubuntu to route? [21:47] grims, it's probably wiser to make the proftpd user a member of the www-data group [21:47] zeker: Firestarter should take care of all that. [21:47] mib_ma5qwk, try installing libdvdcss2 [21:47] unop, how would i do that? :] [21:47] just chown?

[21:49] ok now... [21:49] Ubhubdub: I really don't think it's a good idea at this point for you to be building your own kernels... I will not be assisting with that process either. [21:50] grims, you might need to restart proftpd there [21:50] Ubhubdub :http://www.ubuntugeek.com/automatically-compile-and-install-the-latest-kernel-using-kernelcheck-in-ubuntu.html [21:50] guest: wha is libdvdcss2?

[21:51] mib_ma5qwk, you're welcome [21:51] grims, well, depends on how you have setup proftpd .. the proftpd user's password or your own password.

[22:16] amenado: yes it is [22:16] Does anyone know if such a thing exists as a good book on the topic of LDAP/Single Sign on etc? [22:16] fde, is there a reason why my folder icons wont appear the ways there supposed to [22:17] festr_-> enjoy then..dont worry too much :) [22:17] anteaya, log out and back in, or Ctrl+Alt+Backspace (make sure to quit running programs) [22:17] That's just crazy... .I set it to .90 in the interfaces file and then it changes to .99 [22:17] qwiksand: ouch... nvidia :S please make sure 'linux-restricted-modules-generic' is installed though... other than that, again, can't really help. [22:17] laszlo_: Can you paste the contents of this file: /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? [22:17] i edited my /etc/apt/sources.list to add a mirror because a package wasn't showing up when I tried to install it, but even after that and apt-get update, the package still isn't available ... anyone have a moment to help with that? [22:17] darrend - You're the one who was helping me earlier, correct? [22:17] I'm using 7.04 [22:17] guest: thanks [22:17] amenado: but i'm not sure if the second core is in use :) [22:17] cobrien-> is the roaming checked? [22:17] belor1: Not that I can think of off hand... [22:17] fde the other command was lsmod right? [22:17] belor1: What is wrong with them? [22:17] Phantal-, what is the package name? [22:17] amenado: not sure. How would I check that with the server edition? I'm not using the desktop version. [22:17] fde how can i check? [22:17] qwiksand: please install the package I said if it's not around, restart and come back... at least we'll have the drivers if they're supported then :) [22:18] festr_-> does it matter? what speed do you like to have? super duper fasta mundo? [22:18] fde, the fodler icons wont change to the ones there supposed to [22:18] unop postgresql-client-8.3_8.3.1-1_i386, and postgresql-8.3_8.3.1-1_i386 [22:18] qwiksand: dpkg -l linux-restricted-modules-generic [22:18] cobrien-> so you are not using gui to configure? [22:18] I "aptitude purge firefox-3.0" ... how do I re-install it *from the CD* (hardy)? [22:18] belor1: Sometimes you must log out and back in for theme things to take effect... [22:18] I need a way to completely reset my gnome desktop settings. My menus/toolbars don't load at all. My desktop background appears and then nothing. I've deleted some of the gnome config files/folders, but that hasn't been enough. Is there a command to reset my gnome profile? [22:18] amenado: i sometimes compile large projects so i need both cores :) [22:18] amenado: correct. did a: iface eth0 inet static in the interfaces file in /etc/network [22:18] Guys, no help? (Problem is: cannot find "libgdk_imlib.so.1" Pastebin: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9590/) [22:19] laszlo_: Also, try this: gksu gedit /usr/bin/compiz Edit that file, look for a variable named "COMPIZ_OPTIONS" modify it to look like this: COMPIZ_OPTIONS="--ignore-desktop-hints --loose-binding --replace" [22:19] amenado: but... about 10 minutes later or so, the thing has a .99 address.. . .puzzling.

[22:19] anyone know where the stock plugins for gedit are stored? [22:19] Save and restart X (by pressing Ctrl-Alt-Backspace). @ laszlo_ [22:19] festr_-> it maybe a switch you enable on your compiler to use multi processor [22:19] amenado: I heard sometihng about NetworkManager... I don't know if that has something to do with this. [22:19] sorry [22:19] At0x0: Log out and go to ctrl+alt+f1 then remove the folders, else gnome-settings-manager will reset them. [22:20] where do i find the gparted livecd for partioning? [22:20] amenado: I know. i'm solving problem showing only one processor in /proc/cpuinfo [22:20] qwiksand: dpkg -l linux-restricted-modules-generic | grep ^ii sorry [22:20] Phantal-, both those packages seem to be provided by the main repository.. are you on hardy? [22:20] cobrien-> do you have network manager running? [22:20] qwiksand: if that returns anything, it's already there. [22:20] fde: gnome-settings-manager isn't a command on my system (hardy heron) [22:20] At0x0: I didn't say it was... [22:20] festr_-> actually i should not comment, i never owned a dual procs...my bad.. [22:20] amenado: i guess not. I don't even have a /etc/NetworkManager directory [22:21] fde nothing really happened [22:21] At0x0: Do what I said to remove the gnome settings [22:21] i installed Kubuntu, and it override my ubuntu startup logo, now it says KUBUNTU. how can i change it back to UBUNTU? [22:21] cyclonut: open("/usr/lib/gedit-2/plugins", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_DIRECTORY|0x80000) = 15 <-- strace output [22:21] amenado: anyway thanks :) [22:21] qwiksand: Then please type 'sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-generic' [22:21] fde: like I said, I removed .gnome* and .gconf* already [22:21] cobrien-> can you paste your /etc/network/interfaces file? [22:21] phiqtion: you can't! It's stuck in the BIOS now! You will be forever with Kubuntu! muhahahaha! [22:21] At0x0: Ok, but if you were logged in at the time in Gnome, then they were recreated by that daemon. [22:21] muuuaahahaha [22:21] ' [22:22] amenado: sure... shall I paste it in a privmsg or in chan? [22:22] fde already the newest version [22:22] AtomicMongoose: My mistake, it's actually 'gnome-settings-daemon' [22:22] cd writer is not reading my CD R's how can i fix this? [22:22] festr_-> honestly, i dont know if any of the apps can even make use of dual procs..or multi procs [22:22] qwiksand: Ugh, then something would have happened with the last command. [22:22] unop, gutsy [22:22] cobrien-> in pastebin please [22:22] fde, ive tried they still dont change [22:23] AtomicMongoose: sorry [22:23] where is the gparted livecd partitioner? [22:23] wired: Blanks? [22:23] yes [22:23] mib_0abd8m-> on the livecd ? [22:23] phiqtion: install the xubuntu-desktop - that'll give you the ubuntu screen at startup again [22:23] mib_0abd8m: It's on the LiveCD. System > Adminsitration > Partition editor [22:23] mib_0abd8m: Gparted comes on the Ubuntu Live CD [22:23] hot letting me burn [22:23] not [22:23] !paste | cobrien [22:23] then how do i access it during installation? [22:23] cobrien: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [22:23] <_polto_> hello all [22:23] qwiksand: Anyway, yeah, then I don't know what's wrong. [22:24] Phantal-, well, the recommended way to go is try and enable the gutsy-backports repo and try again, if not, you will need to either compile the hardy sources or upgrade [22:24] fde, damn! i'm so depressed [22:24] !ubotu [22:24] I am ubottu, the all-knowing infobot, standing in for ubotu while he's getting his haircut done, nose powdered, updated and transitioned to his new gorgeous looks in the near future ;) [22:24] mib_0abd8m: the installer has it's own basic parition thing. I suggest doing your partitions in Gparted first, and then using the installer to install [22:24] mib_0abd8m-> you have to use a terminal and execute gparted [22:24] qwiksand: Sorry man... I don't do nvidia ... for the reasons you're encountering. [22:24] qwiksand: I paid $200 more for my computer simply to avoid such things... [22:25] unop, i just did an apt-get upgrade, and afterward it shows up when i do apt-get install postgresql-8.3* ... but when I actually do: apt-get install postgresql-8.3, it says no installation candidate [22:25] (well, that and it was simply a much better system - but all intel devices) [22:25] fde i want to know though if this problem will be corrected if i use a different card [22:25] Hi.. Gnome-power-manager can only be set to turn of the monitor after 11 minutes or higher. I want to be able to set it to 5 minutes. How do I do that? [22:26] Yes I asked #gnome first. No one is there.. [22:26] qwiksand: What is the original question? [22:26] jburd: thanks sir. [22:26] new Via Driver supported GLX http://linux.via.com.tw/support/downloadFiles.action === mehdi_ is now known as dropix [22:26] minus198: #gnome is on /newserver irc.gimp.net [22:26] laszlo_: Do you find your desktop experience smoother (with desktop effects/visual effects turned on)? [22:27] jburd: You're aware that user is not currently online? [22:27] jburd after installing virtualbox's modules and restarted my video card started acting up, i cant get it to work anymore and now even the sound it gone. everything was working fine b4 and now i cant even get the system to read the video card [nvidia] [22:27] fde: (02:56:33 IST) laszlo_ [n=sragner@79-73-172-19.dynamic.dsl.as9105.com] entered the room. [22:28] jburd: ahh... I'll shush then :P [22:28] Phantal-, by 'upgrade' i meant, move from gutsy to hardy .. but that can be inconvenient .. the recommended way is to add a deb-src line for the hardy repos in your /etc/apt/sources.list, then do something like. apt-get update; apt-get build-dep postgresql-8.3 postgresql_client-8.3; apt-get source -b postgresql-8.3 postgresql_client-8.3; [22:28] pot sa va trag la muie ? [22:28] jburd: Just wondering, cuz I keep seeing that question without reply... [22:29] seems ok [22:29] laszlo_: Ok. There are a few tricks you'd need to follow to improve performance with an nvidia card. I'll paste the stuff I did to improve mine. [22:30] hello guys [22:30] jburd after installing virtualbox's modules and restarted my video card started acting up, i cant get it to work anymore and now even the sound it gone. everything was working fine b4 and now i cant even get the system to read the video card [nvidia] [22:30] Phantal-, the "no installation candidate" means that the package is not available for gutsy, and a quick check on http://packages.ubuntu.com indeed verifies that. [22:30] I did the COMPIZ_OPTIONS stuff [22:30] is there a tool to track the temperature of my computer on hardy? [22:31] good evening, well, good whatever, it's evening 'round here [22:31] I have the dvd [22:31] Is there any way to see the networks statistics to the sites I am connected to? [22:32] how do I boot a live KDE system? [22:32] Hello, i was wondering how i can make the changes to groupadd active without logging out and in again [22:33] helloo.. I'm a Linux Noob and I have problems, installing Ndiswrapper without Internet :( NO howto helped me [22:33] Zyrando: there is a topic on the forum [22:33] what package do I need to install to have standard C headers for gcc? === carl is now known as bgabba [22:33] I suppose you'd need to gather some packages while online on another computer [22:34] meuerro: will look it up.. hope it will help [22:34] or how can I query aptitude for /usr/include/stdio.h ? [22:34] fxn: apt-file [22:34] fxn: you need the build-essential package [22:34] shit, with 4 desktops I get lost [22:34] Why am I getting the following error "sudo: unable to resolve host House" [22:34] okay.. thx.. will look it up.. by now im going stillt online with windows :-$ [22:34] Daisuke_Ido: thanks [22:34] Zyrando: I'm trying to find it for you [22:34] laszlo_: Here are the changes I've made to make my desktop experience smoother http://dpaste.com/48057/ [22:34] how do I boot a KDE live system from Ubuntu DVD? [22:34] that's only for newer nvidia cards [22:34] thx :) [22:35] PovIpod: get a kubuntu disc. [22:35] Hey everyone! How to get a Broadcom BCM4306 network card working without access to the internet? [22:35] gregbrady: no can do [22:35] wire yourself to get the firmware [22:35] Not feasable [22:35] no other option [22:35] Daisuke: I thought the DVD had all three desktop environments [22:35] Not from the cd? [22:36] PovIpod: not to my knowledge [22:36] hi, i upgrade to 8.04 from 7.10, all fine, but some error with nvidia drivers: Failed to load /usr/lib/xorg/modules//libglx.so and Failed to load module "glx" (loader failed, 7) \\\\ what i must do? i reinstall drivers....

[22:36] no, no you can't, because you need fwcutter, which you have to be online to get [22:36] Sniz best thing to do is re-install the nvidia drivers [22:36] thx :) [22:36] laszlo_: the + lines indicate the lines i've added [22:36] will have a look ;) [22:37] <__Ali__> hey where is the 'network installation' iso for 8.4??

[22:38] <__Ali__> helloo? [22:38] ok i get it [22:38] PovIpod: sure can, go download a kubuntu cd [22:38] so I can install kde manually later? [22:38] hey suspend does not seem to work in hardy...do you guys have any solution to that [22:38] Shadow420, all work, but only glx module doesnt load [22:38] Daisuke_Ido, sure is....no choice now but XP [22:38] i have a hp pavilion [22:38] SniZ to bad bazhang is not around [22:38] cmd line install I guess [22:38] PovIpod; if you want to install without gnome: choose a server install [22:38] gregbrady: why can't you connect via ethernet for 10 minutes to get the firmware? [22:38] laszlo_: you'll need to do sudo aptitude install compizconfig-settings-manager before you can set the refresh rate === insomnia_ is now known as anabol [22:39] in hardy heron when a window is not being used the border becomes semi-transparent.... is there a way to change that? [22:39] then you run apt-get from a terminal [22:39] Daisuke_Ido, wireless only [22:39] hey everyone :D [22:39] to download the desktop environment you wish to use [22:39] laszlo_: and sudo aptitude install nvidia-settings as well [22:39] you have wireless but no ethernet port? [22:39] that's... i've never heard of that before [22:39] PovIpod use sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop after installing ubuntu with gnome or server install [22:39] weird [22:40] grr @ boot music lol === arindam is now known as duke_of_cal [22:40] one quick question; how hard is shell scripting compared to java programing, although it maybe hard to answer some input would be helpful [22:40] did anyone out there have the same problem as me....suspend freezes up the computer [22:40] PovIpod or go download the Kubuntu ISO [22:40] hmm my audio just nuked itself, worked, than it doesnt [22:40] :( [22:40] thanks for your help I play around with it to see if [22:40] anabol: completely different [22:41] duke_of_cal: yes suspend and hibernation not working is a common issue [22:41] would anybody know which font is used in the ubuntu logo? [22:41] duke_of_cal, Mine will freeze if i use the screen to suspend, but not the command. [22:41] duke_of_cal: it really depends on the computer though and it's hardware [22:41] anyone? [22:41] can someone tell me what version of alsa is in the repos? [22:41] Mazus latest version [22:42] ah ok [22:42] hello all [22:42] had to compile mine from source before [22:42] kuda: yeah if I suspend on this desktop with Ubuntu it will freeze. Vista Home Premimum it works. so there is a command to suspend ay? maybe that will work, worth a try not now though [22:42] Daisuke_Ido, not a router issue, location. [22:42] zethero: do you have the compiz config package installed? [22:42] what use would get out of learning shell scripting besides having fun making my own commands and making command line more customized? what is it primary purpose? [22:42] Mazus alsa comes with the ubuntu installation [22:42] help /dev/cdrom is pt of mount CD ? [22:42] I will haul it here and wire it up I suppose [22:43] anabol: to be a cool geek :d that's the primary purpouse. more seriosulely though you can save a load of time when you know how to use it well [22:43] anabol, Shell scripting helps automate tasks, thats what i mainly use it for. [22:43] meuerro, still having a problem... [22:43] Shadow420: i hit upgrade [22:43] I have tried setting POST_VIDEO=false and SAVE_VBE_STATE=false [22:43] gregbrady: ah... that's really the best option, takes a few minutes, but shouldn't be a big problem getting it installed [22:43] hey guys, is it possible to get Skype on Linux? [22:43] if so go to system/preferences/advanced desktop settings [22:43] found it in a blog somewhere [22:43] boz please be more precise on what are you are trying to ask [22:43] I'm on the live system of the DVD, can I do a server install from it, or do I have to reboot and choose server install on the boot screen? [22:43] Zyrando, and that would be? [22:43] Mazus ok [22:43] Daisuke_Ido, no problem, just a bit of work. No real issue [22:43] is there a seperate channell for ubuntu server? [22:43] can anyone give me a tiny hint: my hardy text install fails at select and install, right after it loads xserver-xorg. I can install grub OK, and boot to recovery, but it has no Internet so I can't get further [22:43] i wonder /me trys livecd [22:43] er channel [22:44] backgen: yes. visit skype they offer a ubuntu package for skype [22:44] PovIpod: I'd say reboot, just a guess though [22:44] this howto needs a internet connection, too and I dont know how to install stuff without a connection [22:44] comicinke1: thank you! [22:44] backgen: yes there is a Skype for Linux [22:44] and ubuntu already has all preqs for shell scripting? and is ubuntu a good environment for such purposes? [22:44] whenn I "add" a software.. it says "the list will be refreshed, it needs a build up connection to the internet" or something.. [22:44] btw sorry for the lame questions [22:45] Zyrando: press the reload button [22:45] anabol, ubuntu is perfect for scripting [22:45] just excited on getting started.. wanna have a good start [22:45] yeah.. I mean this reload button ^^ [22:45] anabol, I may be wrong but i think just about every Linux distro comes with the capability to shell script, and ubuntu is great :) [22:45] anyone here figured out how to get the wine menu list back after wine has been removed and re-installed? [22:45] when I click it it says "you need a internet connection" [22:45] Zyrando: you download the stuff you need and save it to a mass device [22:45] mkay [22:46] which you then connect to the computer that has no internet [22:46] and do i need to enable any repositories to start? or its all there? [22:46] can anyone tell me where snmpdtrapd saves its log files for incoming traps ??? [22:46] in order to get started [22:46] good morning everybody [22:46] aaahh... [22:46] got it ^^ [22:46] <_polto_> I am trying to understand the new way of patching for Launchpad. It does not use dpatch anymore, but I do not understand how it work now. I never used bazar before. :/ [22:46] will try it ;) [22:46] anabol any Linux OS is good for shell scripting just depends on your taste of a Linux Distro [22:46] anabol, its all there ready to go [22:46] anabol, Its all there already [22:46] zyrando: for the packages you take the .deb files [22:46] anabol: the only prerequisite to shell scripting is a shell. and every Unix ever has shipped with a shell. [22:46] <_polto_> I would apply a simple patch and upload it to my PPA.. === zChris is now known as zChris_ [22:46] sure ^^ [22:46] the drivers you just download and save locally where you prefer === zChris_ is now known as zChris [22:47] also, if any "cool geek :P" has a good site for self taught shell scripting with good foundation teaching id really appreciate it [22:47] anybody from Brazil? [22:47] Ubuntu 8.04 Live CD: I get a "zd1211rw IO: Read Error" on Live CD boot, but Ubuntu 7.10's Live CD has no problem with the exact same driver....? [22:48] MichelciaS: there's a #ubuntu-br channel [22:48] anabol type in terminal sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list to see all of the repos you have access to and to add edit or delete repos [22:48] it's a modem driver [22:48] Hi, I was told that to try to make the computer run smoother (ie. not as slow as it is), I am to do a 'clean upgrade'. I have already installed Heron (two days ago) and I want to know if it is possible to do a clean upgrade even though I just installed it. Where would I go or how would I go about doing a clean upgrade? And if I do, does my other partitions get removed (I have Vista installed on a seperate partition === zChris is now known as zChris_ [22:48] ok.. sorry, I'm new here and my english is wrong [22:48] :D [22:49] anabol: have you looked in the "how-to" section of the forums? [22:49] alright guys thanks for all the help and support, <3 [22:49] how do i download and install The Widget Factory??? [22:49] tc all, ill be back later with more questions ;) [22:49] !widget factory [22:49] Factoid widget factory not found [22:49] meuerro: not yet.. but i will have to head out atm [22:50] !find widget factory [22:50] Found: libcwidget-dev, libcwidget-doc, libcwidget3, libcwidget3-dbg, bwidget (and 19 others) [22:50] bye [22:50] shreeki: "clean upgrade" means to remove all system files and add them again, to get rid of various changes you've done yourself. it shoudln't be necessary. [22:50] bye [22:50] how do i download and install The Widget Factory in Terminal? [22:50] !find widget factory | MrKeishii [22:50] mrkeishii: Found: libcwidget-dev, libcwidget-doc, libcwidget3, libcwidget3-dbg, bwidget (and 19 others) [22:50] hello? i need some help with sound [22:50] i just installed ubuntu 7.10 [22:51] UnknownFear: 7.10 is the old version [22:51] id need some help concerning global variables. how does my compiler/IDE know where $(WX) is for example? [22:51] UnknownFear: 8.04 Hardy Heron is the latest [22:51] MrKeishii use sudo apt-get install from terminal then !find Widget factory [22:51] plus, it's long term support === zChris_ is now known as zChris [22:51] okay [22:51] so should i uninstall 8.10 and install 8.04 hardy heron? [22:51] hello [22:52] can I uninstall pulseaudio? I am using programs that doesn`t work with it [22:52] does 8.04 install within windows? [22:52] UnknownFear: open synaptic [22:52] magnetron: But I was told it would be the best way to get my computer to be as fast as it was prior to upgrading to Hardy. I just don't know the steps to do it. And if all system files and removed and added again, is it only within the partition that holds the system files? I'm worried that my Vista stuff will be gone or something. [22:52] UnknownFaer you mean 7.10 and launch the update manager [22:52] prolix, no it doesnt [22:52] first, do update, then do upgrade [22:52] prolix: yes 8.04 can be installed inside WIndows, but it is best to use the old/standard way and partition the hard disk [22:52] hacknslash: huh. that's odd, i thought i read a relase stating it could. thank you [22:52] UnknownFear: 7.10 not 8.10.. but yeah you should install 8.04 especially because it's a fresh install. We could help you, or you could upgrade.. but it's better in the long run to just remove 7.10 and install 8.04 [22:53] prolix: after all think about it what if Windows screws up, Ubuntu screws up then to? [22:53] im running the livecd because i am partitoning my harddrive so i cant really do anything at the moment [22:53] shrreeki: others partitions should be untouched [22:53] sebsebseb: well, i have debian on another partition, but i'd like the flexibility of a *nix o.s. when i'm on the winders side [22:53] Hey everyone, has anyone got 8.04 live CD onto a USB pen/thumb drive? [22:53] prolix, you need to shrink the windows partition, then install 8.04 [22:53] prolix: Wubi will install it inside Windows yes, but you carn't use it when your inside Windows if you install it with Wubi [22:53] you mean you still have to install it and you are just preparing the drive for it? [22:53] meuerro: so what are the the steps to do a 'clean upgrade'? go through terminal... etc. etcv...? [22:54] prolix: use a VM [22:54] sebsebseb: ? [22:54] does anyone know how I can test snmptrapd.... there are no log files in /var/log [22:54] can i just cancel the partition editor and uninstall ubuntu? [22:54] prolix: wubi is just a way to put Windows on your hard disk instead of it having it's own partitions, and so by using your Windows partition [22:54] and how do i actually uninstall ubuntu without messing up my other partition? [22:54] shreeki: a clean upgrade involves: 1. make sure your /home folder is on a separate partition 2. format the partition that used to hold the root partition of ubuntu. 3. install ubuntu like if it never was there, except make sure to tell it about your /home partition [22:54] shreeki: the update/upgrade thing I said was for UnknownFear [22:54] prolix: if you want to run WIndows and Ubuntu at the same time, well then your after a virtual machine [22:55] prolix or do on better get another Hard Drive [22:55] definitely no Ubuntu pen drive installers? :'( [22:55] I want to mount smb://boden/pfilm/ to a folder on my computer it's possible? [22:55] who told me about wine and ie4linux? [22:55] stemount^: there are. [22:55] interest [22:55] UnknownFear, if you didn't choose to modify the other partitions they will be untouched [22:55] meh [22:55] !install | stemount^ [22:55] stemount^: Ubuntu can be installed in a lot of ways.

[22:56] sebsebseb: i use cygwin, as a matter of fact that's how i'm here now [22:56] (Compiz, metacity, etc) [22:56] Thanks meuerro / magnetron, was useful [22:56] prolix: what, on irc? [22:56] prolix: you can run a real Ubuntu installation inside WIndows inside a virtual machine [22:57] sebsebseb: thank you, and the others who helped. [22:57] I had 7.10 running off a pen drive, but I somehow made 8.04 go wrong :( [22:57] Daisuke_Ido: yes [22:57] is there a linux competitor of BizTalk? [22:57] I remember having a nice program on Gutsy which ran .bin file (mounted it actually) by itself. Now I upgraded to Hardy and seems this is lost. Would anyone know the name of the program? [22:57] irssi in cygwin [22:57] question, what is ubuntu's gui? (metacity, beryl, etc) [22:57] Master_Z: gnome [22:57] hello, i installed 8.04 from a USB drive (CD-ROM on laptop has physical damage) -- I seem to have installed it actually onto the USB... also i can only boot from the USB, and then select "boot from hard drive" to get into ubuntu. I want to do a fresh install but when i choose that option it spits out some USB drive errors and i get dropped into BusyBox... any help would be much appreciated. any way to do a fresh ins [22:57] tall from here within the OS? i'm only using 8.04 on my laptop, no other OS installed [22:57] prolix: you know there are a ton of windows irc clients, and even irssi for windows... [22:57] prolix: check this out :) http://www.virtualbox.org :) [22:57] virtualbox.org :) [22:57] that's the default desktop/window manager [22:57] Daisuke_Ido: irssi for windows just installs cygwin and runs from it [22:57] Daisuke_Ido: that's what i have [22:57] ouch [22:58] hah [22:58] Master_Z ubuntu GUI is Gnome [22:58] it's not so bad [22:58] alrighty then :D [22:58] sebsebseb: thanky [22:58] meurro: so if I went to a website where I could download themes, what formats could I download? [22:58] no, i just expected there to be a native build [22:58] prolix: you can also run already made VMware virtual machines in virtualbox [22:58] hello [22:58] Master_Z: go to gnomelook.org [22:58] ciao a tutti!!! [22:58] that's what i thought, too, but apparently they chose to work smarter, not harder. [22:58] prolix: yes for examle an already made Ubuntu virtual machine that is in the VMware format will run in virtualbox [22:58] prolix: makes perfect sense :) [22:58] is there any BizTalk* kind of software for linux? [22:58] Master_Z also theres KDE and one other one [22:59] i have tried to update my kernel with kernelcheck [22:59] Master_Z, there is GDM, KDM and XFCE [22:59] italiani' [22:59] also: you probably have compiz installed, while metacity is something that works inside gnome that you would need to get from synaptic [22:59] thank all of you kind ubuntu people [22:59] stemount^: that made no sense [22:59] Daisuke_Ido....all is well! Thanks. [22:59] how can i remove a directory? [22:59] magnetron: i have saved all things in my /home folder to a USB so i don't care if it's all deleted. i'm new to ubuntu (VERY NEW) so formating a partition that holds the root and installing ubuntu like it was never there is all very .... unknown to me. is there a site that goes through the steps of doing that? [22:59] you listed two display managers and a desktop environment. [23:00] gregbrady: glad to see it worked :D [23:00] my bad [23:00] :x [23:00] rm /name of directory [23:00] xdm? :D [23:00] yeah [23:00] rm -rf dir Ubhubdub [23:00] no worries [23:00] thats what I meant, heh [23:00] Daisuke_Ido, pain in the butt, but it works... [23:00] qualcuno conosce italien ? [23:00] gregbrady: yeah, i blame broadcom for being so stubborn about providing real drivers [23:00] Daisuke_Ido, much better than the alternative....XP [23:00] Matic`Makovec, what do the flags -rf do? [23:01] Daisuke_Ido, yes, agreed....Broadcom is a pain. Not Ubuntu. [23:01] rm --help [23:01] shreeki: i've never seen such a site. unless you've installed a lot of software in ubuntu, there will be a very little difference doing a clean install. [23:01] Ubhubdub, type man rm [23:01] the only other chipset i see issues with (and i'm sure i'm missing some people have had problems with) is ralink's RT73 [23:01] remove recursively [23:01] thanks [23:01] Ubhubdub, it will explain [23:02] magnetron: i don't know how else to solve my original problem: slow computer. nothing is running as fast as it was prior to updating to heron and i don't know how to go about solving it... [23:02] it did [23:02] very good [23:02] shreeki: system details? (cpu/ram) [23:03] do you happen to know how can i remove kernelcheck? === blinzeln is now known as Hydrogen [23:03] shreeki, anyway, if you were clever enough as to divide root and home folders in 2 different partitions [23:03] i just remove the directories that hold the scripts?

[23:06] But I can listen to songs etc... [23:06] shreeki: for unrational that it might seem, managing the install from the command line instead of the graphical one, is a lot more self explanatory [23:06] master_of_master, do you know what wireless card you have [23:06] Some help please? Thank you in advanced. [23:06] Master_Z, do you know what wireless card you have [23:06] mysterycool: do you see the pictures on you tube?

[23:08] Matic`Makovec, res ne bi vedu :) [23:09] meuerro: yes. it just happened now. =[ [23:09] I am trying to install a game (for wine) the installer uses 2 cd-rom:s I am in situtation where it asks to put in the CD 2 but I cant eject CD 1 cos it sais "Application is preventing...pla pla pla" any way to force eject? [23:09] Good for you. I do tend to speak english here. [23:09] Matic`Makovec, me too.. :P [23:09] Wirta-: does typing eject in a terminal work? [23:09] mysterycool, check if another website that uses flash works [23:10] if not, uninstall and then reinstall the flash plugin [23:10] meuerro: ok, sec. [23:10] Wirta-: hit the eject button?

Do they need to be Primary or Logical? [23:12] I had previously used Guided installs [23:12] meuerro: i think i gave you more info than necessary? :S sorry... [23:12] asdfqwer: any number of ways. share it via http, sftp into the thing, samba, ftp, etc, etc [23:12] but this time I want to split it manually [23:12] and then configure samba [23:12] Rafabe: primary. [23:13] ckin2001: it sais /dev/cdrom is not mounted (according to mtab) [23:13] asdfqwer, Personally I would use nfs if they are both linux [23:13] attractive: everything should be primary? [23:13] shreeki, hardware is definitely not the problem [23:13] Rafabe: yes. [23:13] meuerro: still not working :S [23:13] try disabling advance desktop settings, and then restart [23:13] visualdeception: They are. [23:13] thanks AttractiveApe [23:13] Rafabe, please use the Entire disk - guided method of partitioning your hard disk [23:13] meuerro: that's what i thought as well! it couldn't be. what else should i check? [23:13] see if it gets better [23:13] Wirta-, try mount, look for device / directory with cdrom, and umount it [23:13] asdfqwer: depending on what you're after, sftp would perhaps be the simplest [23:14] Rafabe, that'll make all for you [23:14] shreeki: well, dmesg after a full reboot [23:14] Mathman: I want to be able to grab some files from the desktop. [23:14] to see if there's anything wrong [23:14] quickly they are big. === jrb_ is now known as Naib [23:14] so there is no "force" eject command? [23:14] Ubhubdub: that's how I used to do it, but I don't want a "proportional" partitioning this time. it's a 500gb drive. I want to use 200mb for /boot, 20gb for /, and leave everything else for /home. If I use Guided it's going to split them in sizes I don't want [23:14] otherwise you have to look in the archive section for the topic about startup processes [23:14] it would be a waste :) [23:14] meuerro: ... dmesg? :S i'm sorry! i'm such a noob >_>; [23:14] asdfqwer: so yeah, I'd go with sftp. quick, eh, your network will probably be the bottleneck. [23:15] Wirta: doesn't the eject button (the mechanical one, on the drive) work? [23:15] Rafabe, i see [23:15] Wirta-, eject shows up as a command on my machine [23:15] shreeki, reboot, open terminal, type dmesg, hit enter, and then look for any errors in the output [23:15] hi, i have a problem with xen 3.1 and hardy....

[23:17] schregge: i have the same problem with losetup and i have no idea how to fix it [23:17] Wirta-: brute force killing the install process would surely let you open the drive [23:17] but that would mean aborting the install [23:18] Wirta-, type mount | grep cdrom - then umount "whatever device is the cdrom" [23:18] hello [23:18] meuerro: I know it would... but the problem is that I want to complete the installation process? [23:18] gausus: hmm, but why is xen 3.1 not working? [23:18] I want to mount smb://boden/pfilm/ as /home/jonathan/boden [23:18] How do I do?

[23:27] Master_Z, it looks a tricky one to set up [23:27] _paradox_: Please define "url manager" [23:28] <_paradox_> kk hang on [23:28] bookmark manager, I presume [23:28] Rafabe, separate - you can always ln -s the partition into /home if you want [23:28] that was an alright form [23:28] ckin: allright, thanks [23:28] but no real panel - just discussion [23:29] <_paradox_> aomething similar to these http://www.shareup.com/URL_Organizer-download-2963.html http://www.snapfiles.com/get/storurl.html [23:29] Rafabe: He couls also mean some tool to manage domains or dns servers [23:29] <_paradox_> yes a bookmark manager url organizer whichever u want to call it [23:30] for controlling the server [23:30] mysql, php, mysql [23:30] hello, is there a way to have dpkg output the list of installed packages ordered by installation date?

[23:33] NoJunkFromLinux, install instructions: http://www.debianadmin.com/setup-easy-hosting-control-panel-ehcp-for-debianubuntu.html [23:33] can someone tell me, why when i am booting from the live 8.04 I cannot see in the partaion app my desk, i see it only as a ONE partation?? [23:33] when the Ubuntu installer asks me where to install the boot loader, do I select the partition that has /boot? [23:33] shoould i format it from windows? [23:33] <_paradox_> thats not what im looking for please see these links http://www.shareup.com/URL_Organizer-download-2963.html http://www.snapfiles.com/get/storurl.html [23:34] Rafabe, do you have just one HD?

[23:35] . [23:35] <_paradox_> something similar to those [23:35] Dark-Fx: it was a pdf file. took me 2 days to get because of my low speed connection. [23:35] someboda can help me with this type of compressing format (ratdvd) [23:36] rafabe: you want to install the bootloader to whichever HD the BIOS looks to first [23:36] corrupted cd? [23:36] There are ext3 recover utils, but if the file has been gone for several days, you probably won't be able to get the whole file back unless something was locking it open [23:36] ferfactor: http://www.google.com/search?q=ratdvd [23:36] <_paradox_> im simply not interested in an online bookmarking social service [23:36] ok. I sent the spam victim an e-mail. I hope I don't get murdered [23:36] Yan1 thanks :P [23:37] _paradox_: Best bet is likely some firefox extension like https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/427 (from list at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/browse/type:1/cat:22?sort=rated&show=50 ) [23:37] Hello, When I try to connect to download updates it says is available I get the error msg [23:37] W: Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/p/privoxy/privoxy_3.0.8-1_amd64.deb [23:37] Could not connect to localhost:4001 (127.0.0.1). - connect (111 Connection refused) [23:37] papa: ok, that's the one I'm installing the OS on, obviously, but which PARTITION should the boot loader be insatlled to? I have one for /boot, one /swap, one /home, and one /root [23:37] hi all, im having to restart /etc/networking/interfaces after each boot to connect to wifi. is there anything i can do to fix this, (i'd prefer it to work right rather than writing in the restart in a scipt) [23:37] <_paradox_> u mean they dont make anything at all like the two i listed for ubuntu? [23:38] ferfactor: i just checked into ratdvd and it was developed by a self-proclaimed "ignorant windows nerd". he says he plans to release components as open source, but is unable to develop a Linux or Mac port at this time [23:38] nothing wrong with that [23:38] _paradox_: Since the bookmarking built into Firefox already allows for searching,sorting,renaming, etc I'm not sure exactly what it is you are looking for [23:39] ok thanls sydlex i think that now the solutions is have a player that reproduce this type of formtat thanks :P [23:39] Hello [23:39] ferfactor: it may be possible to use wine, or just use a windows box and the ratdvd -> dvd converter at ratdvd.ca to turn it into a dvd format [23:39] Do someone know, where I can get ATI Radeon Xpress 1100 drivers? [23:39] yeap maybe :P thanks a lot :P [23:39] ferfactor: you wont find a commercial product to do it, fyi, but glhf [23:39] What do I need to install so I can extract/create .rar archives? I installed unrar(Non free), but it only EXTRACTS, not creates. [23:39] <_paradox_> im looking for an application to which i can save links and organize them [23:40] NBZ4live, apt-get install envyng-gtk [23:40] _paradox_: The Scrapbook extension I pointed you to allows extraction of specific content in pages, naming,indexing, etc of those as well [23:40] how can I get a metacity theme to work with Hardy? [23:40] rafabe: i'm not sure, but i believe that you want to install to whatever partition comes first on the disk. are you installing via the install icon on the Desktop, or putting the bootloader in manually? [23:40] sorry for the response time [23:40] thanks for the links [23:40] visualdeception: Type this in Terminal? [23:41] <_paradox_> i bookmark things all the time for my groups and it can easily get into the 100s [23:41] do you guys know if there is a free driver available for a conexant v.92 modem? mdm? [23:41] all I could find is a paid one [23:41] Hello, I need some help with checkinstall. If I do sudo checkinstall, will it install & create a .deb package? More importantly, if it installs, will it allow me to specify the installation directory as in "make install DEST=..."? Thanks. [23:41] papa: it's during the regular install, it asks me where to put the bootloader (after I already finished the partition selection) [23:41] NBZ4live, yes, add sudo before it. It will install envyng which is what I use to install my ATI drivers [23:41] NoJunkFromLinux, no prob [23:42] timandtom - sudo apt-get install rar? (muliverse and universe needed) [23:42] if you press f6 it goto address bar in fierfox, but not if you press many time, why? [23:42] GeorgeAScott: Ah, thanks :) I had only installed unrar, haha. Muchthanks. [23:42] I like ehcp alright [23:43] but hoping to find openpanel [23:43] in a standard gutsy install will i be using alsa or oss? [23:43] it is great [23:43] visualdeception: thx=) [23:43] NBZ4live, then to run envyng -t [23:43] np [23:43] ph8_: former. [23:43] thx [23:43] do you guys know if there is a free driver available for a conexant v.92 modem? mdm? [23:43] ph8_: all supported Ubuntu releases use the former. [23:44] I plan to have a compuer that dual boots and I'd like grub to defaultly boot to ubuntu but somehow have ubuntu be able to restart in some way that it'll start back on windows. Is that possible? [23:44] is there any way to refer to the most recently edited file in a directory from terminal? [23:44] rafabe: the best that i can come up with is putting it the first partition of your first HD [23:44] honestly, I am probably not the best guy to ask [23:45] http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-partition-naming-convention-and-ide-drive-mappings/ [23:45] that might help you a little [23:45] http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/installing [23:45] that is a graphical installation guide for Hardy [23:45] hey can any1 help me, i dunno how to get the desktop cube to come up?

Now its done. I go to reboot=) [23:47] darkcrab: Dell has on their site a Conexant driver which supports most of them. Says it's for 7.04 Ubuntu but works on at at least 7.10 that I know of [23:47] NBZ4live, good luck [23:47] could someone help me find openpanel .deb [23:47] please - as the source for ubuntu is busted [23:48] thx=) [23:48] Hi, need help with fresh install of 8.04 [23:48] GeoregeAScott, well simply, I want to be able to switch which os is on by remote. i think having windows as default would only work one way. [23:49] NoJunk > http://www.openpanel.com/download_control/ check out that link. [23:49] eugman|college, if you install the windows ext3 drivers, you could gain access to your grub/menu. list file and change the default to linux, then reboot [23:49] to boot from win -> linux [23:49] how can I get metacity themes to work on hardy ? [23:49] <_paradox_> im afraid scrapbook wouldnt do [23:49] k [23:49] can I put a line space between different uuid listings in fstab without any detrimental problems?

[23:50] will test asap [23:50] I installed over my previous system which I had lost the password for. However, my home directory was saved, so I created a new account called "bob" during installation, and then renamed my old home directory from bsmith to bobsmith. then created a user using CLI adduser of bsmith, and then moved all my files into that new user's directory. However, I can't get that user to run anything that requires SU and I can't edit bsmith 's account properties fro [23:50] m any account [23:50] it's from openpanel's, so it should work. [23:51] yes [23:51] <_paradox_> let me pull up the description of the second link i posted [23:51] darkcrab: The link (tiny-urled) http://tinyurl.com/2uzo5n [23:51] i am trying to do a fresh install of ubuntu 8.04 i386 on my amd64 custom-built system with ASUS mobo, nVidia GF7800GTX (PCI-E), SATA-II drive. after half an hour of read errors on fd0 (i dont have a floppy) and sr0 (?) i receive a busybox prompt. running init returns an error from kinit. kubuntu 7.10 installed perfectly well, not sure whats up. any ideas, or links to a bug and fix if ive missed something obvious on ubuntuforums.
