[00:00] gord_: its an ultimate livesaver thoXD [00:00] Stormcr0w: I think I found something very useful to you [00:00] DJAdmiral: no worries :) [00:00] i need a download frenzy [00:00] DJAdmiral: great! [00:00] Stormcr0w: http://www.scotthofer.com/How%20to%20triple%20boot%20XP%20Vista%20Linux.html [00:00] I downloaded the *.gz files /untarred them..but I get error saying dependency error some such thing. [00:00] rsista: ah.. sorry I don't know anything about sopcast.. however if you rephrase your question to be more specific you might find someone that knows the answer. [00:00] Is there a straightforward tutorial available somewhere [00:01] rsista: with dependancies.. you need to install what they say is missing. [00:01] hello [00:01] ok, well, that didnt work. I have two shares. they are exactly alike except one is /media/store (the one that works) and one is /media/store2 [00:01] any one want to help ? [00:01] is there an apt-spy for ubuntu? [00:01] DJAdmiral: looking at it now... [00:01] !ask | chatuu [00:01] chatuu: 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. :-) [00:01] yeah sudo aptitude moo === FRiEd|BnC is now known as FriedCPU [00:01] !who | chatuu [00:01] chatuu: 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 :) [00:01] then sudo aptitude -v moo [00:01] remoteCTRL: yeah sure is, for example i have a problem on one machine with an extra IDE "raid" card, and if i insert a CD into the card-connected cdrom it bumps my HDx,p number in the grub (root3,7) format up one digit, drove me mad for a week [00:02] H E L P ! ! !

[00:02] i can read you [00:02] Scunizi, look i am from brazil and don't speak engkllsi that well... so... please be patient [00:02] Simonft: I have no idea.. just mentioning that if it's complaining about dependancies you =need to satisfy those. [00:02] Scunizi, are you wiht the new ubuntu 8.04 ? [00:02] Simonft: When i install aMSN i get the following error.. [00:02] chatuu: yes [00:03] !br | chatuu [00:03] chatuu: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [00:03] Scunizi, how many mem dos it takes ? [00:03] can anyone tell me how to add a repository [00:03] Stormcr0w: I think that covers it very well [00:03] ok, so if i mount my second disk to /media/store it works, but i dont understand [00:03] gleyve, any reason why you want to use amsn? [00:03] Simonft: /usr/bin/wish: error while loading shared libraries: libtcl8.5.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [00:03] chatuu: the minimum to install from the live cd I think is 384k [00:03] i created both folders the same way === ubuntoOf is now known as hoOboOntoO [00:03] *megs [00:03] gord_: humm, somehow youre in the wrong menu man, i only needed that one once and that was when i ruined all masterboot records and partition tables so far that i couldnt boot the recovery partition of that device anymore which was really bad as we didnt have cds for it... [00:03] gord_: it seems like he can speak english [00:03] clem: just tested - working perfectly...many thanks [00:03] Scunizi, noo.. look i am using it [00:03] mkdir /media/store etc then chmod 777 /path/todir [00:03] jdq997: I need aMSN because of the webcam [00:03] if you get an error use kopete [00:04] chatuu: ok.. how much memory do you have? [00:04] bachstudies: you're welcome. [00:04] gord_: but supergrub did the job i was able to remoint that partition and to restore the whole software.. [00:04] but it takes like 220MB just when i log on and i took out so many services Scunizi [00:04] the cam [00:04] i have 1gb Scunizi [00:04] is the cam working already? [00:04] gord_: speaking of windows in dualboot... [00:04] jdq997: what do u think? normaly I use gaim...but I need aMSN to talk to my girlfriend [00:04] chatuu: I ment to say it takes 384megs to install from the live cd.. as for how much ram to run the system. I'm not sure. [00:04] can anyone tell me how to add a repository [00:04] chatuu: 1 gig of ram is more than enough though [00:04] chatuu: most of that will be used for buffers. Linux tries to use memory, rather than letting it idle. You have nothing to worry about. [00:05] gleyve: you need a girlfriend to talk with aMSN? [00:05] test === mfcabrera is now known as Ceruno [00:05] soundray, thanks [00:05] Simonft: yeah he just said not that well lol, but i think the pling-line is worded a bit harsh, seems to say "hey, use #ub-br willya?!" when really i meant "did u realise that br help might be available if it easier? [00:05] xylor: echo test [00:05] alteregoa: XD [00:05] lol [00:05] gord_: any partitionmagic experience so far?

[00:06] ok, gleyve, or something your webcam works already? [00:06] chatuu: ok.. so is the system any faster for you on 8.04? or slower? [00:06] xyzpaw:https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu [00:06] alteregoa: yes..my webcam works in windows..using msn [00:06] remoteCTRL>: lost a lot of partitions with P8.05, very annoying, sometimes only after physically moving it to a new machine [00:06] DJAdmiral: I don't understand... [00:06] the problem is, one is in one machine and the other is on another [00:07] chatuu: just ignore how much memory is in use. If you get slow system response, or processes cancelled due to lack of memory, then you can worry about memory usage. [00:07] alteregoa: now I need to intall aMSN but it's not working [00:07] DJAdmiral: So basically, install BCDedit on vista... [00:07] Supergrub should have it's own comic book.

This is with Nvidia driver. Without it is 800x600 maximum, but that is still too low. Normal is 1024x768. Where do I configure this? [00:07] DJAdmiral: then install Ubuntu and install GRUb on the same disc as Ubuntu... [00:07] where does ubuntu store the .app of a program when you install a package?? [00:08] <[T]an1> can anyone tell me the package name to apt-get install dhcpd3 [00:08] gleyve: type sudo apt-get install easycam2 [00:08] alteregoa: easycam2 if for linux? better then aMSN? [00:08] gleyve: its to configure your cam [00:08] DJAdmiral: then go back to Vista, run BCDedit and amend the Vista bootloader, so that it also sees Ubuntu? [00:08] gleyve: did you see my link? [00:08] <[T]an1> nevermind... found a cool tool in webmin to install it :-D [00:08] Fjss: /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/sbin, and /usr/games [00:08] RubyGems runs really slowly on my Ubuntu server.

[00:09] Stormcr0w: Normally I just run Ubuntu, with XP running inside it as a virtual box [00:09] thanks [00:09] chatuu: it's fine if it uses some of the swap space. If you absolutely want it not to swap, you can control this via the vm.swappiness parameter (google) [00:09] anyone? [00:10] Half of my questions hinge on using the right channel, since so many systems are involved.

[00:11] hai [00:11] I guess you're going to have to tweak the howto accordingly. [00:11] sushith: I for got the original question [00:11] Fjss: sudo which azureus tells you the path [00:11] gleyve: Gaim just does so much more.

[00:56] sorry about that [00:56] WarMX: acer 5520* [00:56] thompa: mine is 5630 [00:56] gleyve, man, I dont know what all todo now man, automatix has seriously fubared your package system. [00:57] So, my favorite keyboard (the new Apple keyboard) works under Kubuntu, but not Ubuntu, so I assume the problem lies with GNOME. I've tried to fix this in Preferences>Keyboard, but no luck. I've also tried to reconfiguring xorg, but that just screwed up my screen resolution again. [00:57] The app says it's still "Preparing backup", but I can see it's writing the backup file. [00:57] WarMX: wifi card is the same i think, you will have to compile from scratch [00:57] Is there any software that monitors the activity on USB and Serial ports? It should log what is sent and recieved. [00:57] soundray: apt-cache policy openoffice.org-core shows Installed none, candiddate 1:2.4.0-3ubuntu6 version table 1:2.4.0-3ubuntu6 0, 500 cdrom://Ubuntu 8.04 _Hardy Heron_ - Release amd64 (20080422.2) hardy/main Packages, 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/main Packages [00:57] thompa: what a mess [00:57] There are a lot of things that call for your sound card and will lock up whatever is using it already [00:57] i keep trying to install I2P but it keeps saying "Failed: No Route To Host" can anyone help me out [00:57] Why would my Login screen be a different resolution than GNOME? What determines the Login screen resolution? [00:58] WarMX: once wifi works its good [00:58] is there a reference for gconf entries? [00:58] macd: ok man..I thank you for trying...so I should not use automatix? [00:58] gleyve, is this a recent install? [00:58] thompa: with gutsy it works perfectly [00:58] gleyve, dont ever use automatix. [00:58] xyzpaw: /etc/hosts issue? [00:58] So, my favorite keyboard (the newest Apple keyboard) works under Kubuntu, but not Ubuntu, so I assume the problem lies with GNOME. I've tried to fix this in Preferences>Keyboard, but no luck. I've also tried to reconfiguring xorg, but that just screwed up my screen resolution again. [00:58] WarMX: walkmans are broken in hardy [00:58] Fezzler, the actual resolution as set by X/xorg [00:58] !patience | Genotrius [00:58] Genotrius: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [00:58] xyzpaw: make sure your hostnames are not messed up (like mine were after upgrade) [00:58] macd: aMSN It worked before...but when I tried some stepds to fix the webcam with aMSN I got in trouble [00:58] unop: so I edit xorg.conf? [00:58] WarMX: im wondering why walkmans cant come up as mass storage anymore [00:59] macd: Sorry about that, I was kind of refining my posts. [00:59] zelrikiando: what hostnames [00:59] well, i was using the keyboard resolution switch feature as a "hack" to make some games in wine run "full screen" without a panel at the top/bottom of the screen [00:59] macd: some forums adviced me to use automatix :( [00:59] jc: I suggest you remove the CD-ROM and fix the problem using online repositories only. Go to System-Admin-Software Sources and disable the CD-ROM. Close the dialog and let it update the package lists. [00:59] thompa: walkmans? [00:59] Anyone know how I'd go about mass converting a lot of poorly encoded .avi files to xvid? [00:59] gleyve, is this a recent install? are you at all opposed to loosing your settings, but not programs, and documents? [00:59] soundray: ok I'll give that a try [00:59] WarMX: the mp3 player, works in gutsy not heron [00:59] Fezzler, yes or just reconfigure the xserver-xorg package. sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow xserver-xorg [00:59] jc: once it's done that, run 'sudo apt-get -f install' twice in a terminal, and put the output of the second one on a pastebin [00:59] i cant even figure out what device walkman is [00:59] gleyve, which thread? go back and inform them what their advice did. [00:59] thompa: well so i'll never change to HH [00:59] !pastebin | jc [00:59] jc: 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) [01:00] * macd hates automatix [01:00] what are hostnames [01:00] thompa: GG works perfectly [01:00] xyzpaw: I am not good at this but...my /etc/hosts file was messed up by the hardy heron upgrade...you should check that [01:00] unop: I like that idea. What does that command do? [01:00] WarMX: its not a big deal, but it will not be supporteg [01:00] Speaking of keyboards, I have an HP media center keyboard and some of the buttons don't work like the eject buttons and the internet buttons but the media control buttons like play pause stop etc and the volume controls work fine [01:00] overwrites and forces packages, and b0rks the you know what out of aptitude, youd think they'd at least rename thier broken stuff. [01:00] elkbuntu: I don't remeber what forum told me that [01:00] thompa: no wifi, no mp3s... [01:00] WarMX: eventually [01:00] gleyve, was it the official forums? [01:00] thompa: i think i'll wait for 8.10 [01:00] Zelrikriando: when u say messed up, what do u mean? [01:00] zelrikiando: how will i know if it's altered? I've never seen it before. [01:01] elkbuntu, I wouldnt doubt it [01:01] nor i [01:01] Fezzler, well, essentially it is a graphical questionaire that you fill out which in turn populates xorg.conf [01:01] WarMX: I think you made a good decision cause Hardy is a bit messed up. [01:01] thompa: yeah [01:01] gleyve, I guess since tcl/tk is already essentialy hosed up, lets remove and reinstall them [01:01] macd: I've my ubuntu instalation for 8 months...my docs are ok [01:02] thompa: i was a lot depressed when i saw the graphics in HH [01:02] I've installed ubuntu on my desktop pc. but I think ubuntu 8.04 has some troubles with the processor beacuse when I wanna know the temperature does no it apears something like these... I have Pemtium 4 [01:02] hi... my windows key does not work in my kvm windows xp guest... any hint greatly appreciated! [01:02] thompa: horrible (wallpaps &...) [01:02] elkbuntu: In fact I think it wasn't an official forum [01:02] andi5: u mean under virtual running? [01:02] gleyve, so type "sudo apt-get remove --purge tcl8.5 tk8.5 tcl8.5-dev tk8.5-dev" [01:02] mysterycool: yes [01:02] thompa: i'm a desktop editor [01:02] gleyve, if you get any errors about package not installed, just remove it form that command and reissue it. [01:02] thompa: work a lot on gnome-look [01:02] mysterycool: hmm lets see : on my terminal I am prompted as zelrikriando@shipon for exemple...so in the /etc/hosts file I had to replace the line '127.0.1.1 mylaptop' by 127.0.1.1 shipon' [01:02] andi5: which virtual machine software do u use? [01:02] jc: how are you getting on? [01:03] Scunizi: Are You there? [01:03] SnakeArt: yep [01:03] mysterycool: as i said, kvm [01:03] I thought the sudo bug was fixed. [01:03] mysterycool: that s how I fixed my problem...I dont know much about this thing :) [01:03] andi5: oh, lol, sorry havent noticed. [01:03] soundray: just finshed here are the results - http://paste.ubuntu.com/9877/ [01:03] zelrikiando: how will i know if it's altered? I've never seen it before. [01:03] hey [01:03] SystemMonitor is fioobar [01:03] Scunizi: So, it doesn't work. I'll send you pastebin. Wait. [01:03] i used 'sudo apt-get build-dep python-numpy' to install numpy... and ive been sitting for about 10 minutes watching this thing compile and throw out strict aliasing errors [01:03] hi everybody !!! [01:03] macd: now it tells me: "impossible to find the package tcl8.5-dev" [01:04] zelrikiando: did u fix everything? i mean is there something exactly u wanna fix or u dunno if anything else is messed up? [01:04] whilst its fine on one of my box's it must have a issue with some cpus [01:04] xyzpaw: pastebin the content of /etc/hosts [01:04] macd: I'm in trouble [01:04] whats pastebin [01:04] because its lagging and chewing up resources [01:04] Scunizi: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9878/ [01:04] gleyve, then just remove tcl8.5-dev from that command I gave you [01:04] mysterycool: I am trying to help xyzpaw , that is why I talked about it...he might have the same issue [01:04] andi5: i think there was a big with that key. i am not quite sure though. [01:04] ports_: strict alias errors or warnings? [01:05] jesus ubuntu makes installing things incredibly difficult [01:05] SnakeArt: send me xorg.. [01:05] andi5, warnings [01:05] I have a problem : does anyone know if there is a software under ubuntu that can repair an incomplete/corrupted zip files? [01:05] devs ... be wise do not include it in future heh .. surely something more dependable can be whiped up for [01:05] andi5: try googling "KVM Windows Key Bug" and let me know if it was with KVM that the bug was. [01:05] xyzpaw: did you do an upgrade recently? [01:05] everybody take a look: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Hardy+Theme?content=74045 [01:05] Zelrikriando: oh, lol, sorry, thought u were asking for help =] [01:05] andi5, why is it taking so long to install? [01:05] hardff, try turning the polling time down, obviously that would reduce its resources. [01:05] jc: try a 'sudo apt-get remove openoffice.org-core', say Yes if any questions are asked, and pastebin again please. [01:05] no zelrink i just did a fresh install of xubuntu 8.04 [01:06] mysterycool: if you can help me helpingxyz that would be great :) [01:06] Hello there can anyone help me please? [01:06] xyzpaw [01:06] that is [01:06] :) [01:06] yes?

[01:06] SnakeArt: also looks like maybe compiz is interfearing with wacom on your system.. it registers then unregisters.. [01:06] xyzpaw: With what do you need help? [01:06] xyzpaw: I was just fixing my writting :) [01:06] SnakeArt: with a seg fault on compiz [01:06] TheDuke, chances are it will not get backported. [01:06] Scunizi: incoming...http://paste.ubuntu.com/9879/ [01:06] mysterycool: what do you mean by "a big"? (i lost anything after that) [01:06] ok thanks :( [01:06] mysterycool, im having problems installing I2P [01:06] Hmmm.... seemed to have fixed the eric4 console/terminal application debugging ability (eric4 communication to the shell it was started from) by fixing the shutdown problem (fix of adding acpi=force noapic to startup)... go figure... guess the boot failure was interfering. [01:06] is kopete can run in hardy heron? [01:06] soundray: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9880/ [01:07] TheDuke: You do know that Feisty is 2 versions older than the current version of ubuntu, rught? [01:07] is kopete can run in hardy heron? [01:07] The_Bridge: should be able to [01:07] yes [01:07] hi everybody : I have a problem : does anyone know if there is a software under ubuntu that can repair an incomplete/corrupted zip files? [01:07] I like feisty tho [01:07] andi6: what do u mean u lost anything after that? [01:07] The_Bridge, its in the repositories, so YES. [01:07] mysterycool: oh, it seems i had a network glitch again [01:07] thanks for your help :) [01:07] Zak, archive-manager can repair them, yes. [01:07] andi6: oh, lol, k [01:07] ;inuxgeekery : i've tried to installed it,run it,reistall it time and time,and it still wont work properly [01:07] Scunizi: I've commented out these 'usb'-related lines, but still no effect [01:07] linuxgeekery : i've tried to installed it,run it,reistall it time and time,and it still wont work properly [01:07] xyzpaw: were you successful at installing other things? [01:07] xyzpaw: ok, hang on a sec plz. [01:07] xyzpaw: "ubuntu makes installing things incredibly difficult" wow u have no idea how funny that looks to people who've been using Ubuntu and any unix for a while, lemme scroll up, we can help you, keep faith :) [01:07] Zak, make that "ark" [01:08] SnakeArt: looking at xorg now.. hang on. [01:08] macd: I removed tk8.5 and tcl8.5 [01:08] macd: thanks man, i'll try your solution! [01:08] man.. macd I left it running when I went out [01:08] The_Bridge: does it give any errors? [01:08] someone to help me to get my SoftModem running? ;) [01:08] Is this correct ? "kjournaled is the journal driver for ext3. it is normal for it to write to the disk every 5 seconds." [01:08] zelrikriando, i dont know i havent tried [01:08] now i''m regret that [01:08] it just wont load by clicking on the icon [01:08] it only word with alt-F2 [01:08] left my system all cludgy [01:08] xyzpaw: are you using synaptics? [01:08] it only work with alt-F2 [01:08] I'm using add/remove [01:08] gleyve, ok, now lets go delete some stuff from /usr/lib, so "cd /usr/lib && ls libtcl*" [01:09] even if i manage to load it with alt-F2,it cant detect my online contacts [01:09] gleyve, and then "ls libtk*" and paste those to a pastebin please [01:09] benpicco_: can't help you right now, but I would look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto/Modems [01:09] xyzpaw: I was never familiar with I2P ( i mean ive heard what it is ) but I do not from where you downloaded it or in what format it was, so could you please specify in what format you downloaded it? [01:09] xyzpaw: there is also snaptic and update manager [01:09] i was wondering if someone could help me [01:09] xyzpaw: try using synaptic instead and try to install other stuff to check [01:09] susanna777: sure; what do you need [01:09] i tried already [01:09] oh ill try to install something else [01:10] susanna777, ask [01:10] i am trying to umount a linux partition [01:10] threeseas & xyzpaw: ive just checked synaptic and it does not have i2p. [01:10] SnakeArt: add the line ( Option ForceDevice "ISDV4" )# Tablet PC Only to all the "InputDevice" lines dealing with wacom.. [01:10] but gparted tell me i have to do it manually [01:10] xyzpaw: aha! the add/remove does very simple tasks only, theyre's a more fully featured software installing package under Administration>Synaptic Package Manager, oops, not in there it seems [01:10] susanna777, 'sudo umount /mountpoint' [01:10] at the terminal, of course [01:10] okay just a minute i will try that [01:10] macd: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9882/ [01:10] macd, too fast :) [01:11] what is the mountpoint? [01:11] Scunizi: Ok. I'll try that. [01:11] QUESTION: if I start a FAILSAFE gnome session, does that mean Compiz will be disabled? [01:11] Mimi: yes [01:11] yay thanks :) [01:11] linuxgeekery : it just wont load by clicking on the icon,it only loads by alt-F2 [01:11] So, my favorite keyboard (the newest Apple keyboard) works under Kubuntu, but not Ubuntu, so I assume the problem lies with GNOME. I've tried to fix this in Preferences>Keyboard, but no luck. I've also tried to reconfiguring xorg, but that just borked my screen resolution again. Can anyone help me out? [01:11] susanna777: it's the location where the partition is mounted [01:11] xyzpaw: yes, i suggest looking for midnight commander, a handy simple filemanager that runs in a termminal, search/install that as a test using synaptic pakcage manager [01:11] jc: it's a strange problem... this conflict looks like a packaging bug, but if it was, the reports would be all over the place. So it's a weirdness in your particular system. [01:11] xyzpaw: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/I2P this might help you [01:12] linuxgeekery : even if i manage to load it then,it can't detect my online contacts [01:12] help i unistalled nvidia-glx and now all i get in an error meesage [01:12] Genotrius: what do you mean by "does not work"? [01:12] zelrikriando that only has help for much older versions of ubuntu [01:12] Mimi, I had that problem myself and you can fix everything in FAILSAFE gnome eventually..... [01:12] hi [01:12] jc: I'd try something a bit heroic, which is to force the core package and see what happens: [01:12] Genotrius: Which ubuntu version do u use? [01:12] um i think it is mounted in windows [01:12] daYZman, hi [01:12] The_Bridge: Could you go to the terminal and type "kopete"? And private message me with the output? [01:12] xyzpaw: I guess that still applies.. [01:12] i was trying to mount it in windows [01:12] soundray: ok I'll try that [01:12] how on earth do i install this on ubuntu http://forms.helixcommunity.org/helix/builds/?category=realplay-current [01:12] jc: 'sudo dpkg -i --force-conflicts /var/cache/apt/archives/openoffice.org-core_1%3a2.4.0-3ubuntu6_amd64.deb' [01:12] susanna777: /media/windows? [01:13] i'm trying to shrink my /home drive and expand /, can i unmount it in gparted while still logged in? [01:13] im trying but cant get it to work [01:13] but i should have rezized the drive BEFORE mounting it but i didn't [01:13] okay i try that [01:13] alado2: what are you trying to install? [01:13] yes i was following those directions [01:13] dayzman use the livecd [01:13] elkbuntu: my synapcti doesn't have easycam2..is it normal? anything I can do? [01:13] My /etc/network/interfaces file has correct information (static into for a spot on my LAN), but apparently it's read only partially, as the IP address is set up correctly but the netmask isn't, and there's no routing set up to the gateway either. Any idea what's gone wrong? [01:13] mysterycool: realplayer [01:13] daYZman: I wouldn't recommend that; use the gparted livcd [01:13] macd: i tried both solutions but no way, these software are base on the same algorithms(gzip,unzip,etc)! is there a stronger solution? [01:13] i cant get past step 3 [01:13] I'm having a problem with my wg111v2 wireless adapter, it is detected and connects sucessfully to my router - but the internet dies after a few seconds. ndiswrapper didn't help, it doesn't get past DHCP. [01:13] alado2: Oh, been through that. [01:13] daYZman: i suppose you will have to boot into a gparted live cd or anything else not mounting / or /home [01:13] macd: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9882/ [01:13] gleyve, ok, now 'sudo apt-get remove --purge amsn && sudo rm -rf /var/cache/apt/archives' [01:13] ok [01:13] thanks [01:13] yes i was following those directions [01:13] mysterycool: yes me too, with gutsy, but now i forgot how i did it [01:13] i cant get past step 3 [01:13] alado2: you'll want to download the tar file [01:13] linuxgeekery : okay [01:13] i get this error: umount: /: device is busy [01:13] umount: /: device is busy [01:13] umount: media/windows: not found [01:13] xyzpaw: did you success on installing other stuff? [01:14] alado2: Ok, I do not really remember, but I downloaded Real Player through the Real Player Website. [01:14] yes JRE installed just fine [01:14] hi, i just set my display rotation to 90 degrees and then everything crashed...now everytime I login, I only have a wallpaper and a mouse cursor. anyone know how to escape this? [01:14] susanna777: could you give me the output of the command "mount" [01:14] Can someone help me - I need to burn a cd, but I cant boot to windows or linux - im on a live cd. Can someone tell me how I can burn off an ISO if im booting off of a live disc? [01:14] susanna777: pastebin it or msg me [01:14] Zak, not that I know of, other than using the command line versions (in other words read the documentation) [01:14] andi6: Well, when I change the model to Macintosh in the Keyboard preferences utility, most of key keys don't do anything, and those that do type the wrong symbols. When I change it to Apple, it acts as though the whole thing is a numpad with the number 1 on the J key. [01:14] 안녕하세요 [01:14] mysterycool: yes but i want the nightly, you can fast forward better with that one [01:14] susanna777: did you put an incorrect space between the leading slash and the "m"? [01:14] alado: I think it was a .deb file or a .bin file which u just open it and you install, nothing to actually configure or make. [01:14] gib1: can the livecd boot to ram [01:14] if i have 100gb, how much should / and /home each have? [01:14] /dev/sda5 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro) [01:14] proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) [01:14] varrun on /var/run type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,mode=0755) [01:14] varlock on /var/lock type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,mode=1777) [01:14] udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw,mode=0755) [01:14] susanna777: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

Did you try to download .bin version? [01:15] what does compiz do anyway, and how do I get rid of it so i can use WINE? === hoOboOntoO is now known as Aircooled [01:15] macd: Ok...config files where deleted [01:15] gib1: when you boot from the livecd, look for boot options named boot to ram, etc [01:15] flood how do i do that? [01:15] lol [01:15] ariqs: erm, I dont think u need to get rid of compiz to use Wine. [01:15] !flood [01:15] !paste | susanna777 [01:15] you don't need to get rid if compiz to use wine [01:15] 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) [01:15] susanna777: please see above [01:15] nickellery: yes i downloaded the tar file, but then what, i cant seem to get the program running [01:15] mysterycool: Ubuntu 8.04. [01:15] alado2: download the .bin version. it is way easier to install =] [01:15] gleyve, ok, now lets do a lil fixing, 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -f' [01:15] okay [01:15] sorry [01:16] zelrikriando i was following those directions in the first place [01:16] Genotrius: Was it warking with Gutsy? [01:16] gibl: sorry, that's https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto [01:16] alado2-> a tar file is just an archive of files [01:16] mysterycool: yes i tried, but i cant seem to get it to execute [01:16] xyzpaw: ok let me try to see [01:16] ok [01:16] mysterycool: did you make it executable? (chmod +x thefile.bin) [01:16] amenado: i know, but the bin file is in it [01:16] Another question then - a friend of mine is using a wg111 (not v2) wireless adapter. It used to work fine in Hardy- but now network-manager can't find his router. Any ideas? [01:16] mysterycool: No, it wasn't making any Chocobo noises with Gusty, but it was working. :P [01:16] alado2: Hmm, did u give it permission to execute? I mean, did u make it exectable? [01:16] macd: could you have a quick look at jc's problem, please: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9877/ [01:16] mysterycool: sorry [01:16] alado2-> well if you know, then what do you supposed to do with an archive? [01:16] mysterycool: yes i think so [01:16] okay thank you for telling me, didn't mean to flood the board [01:16] calc, im on wireless! first time (in linux) in 6 months! [01:17] alado2: did you make it executable?

[01:36] vincenzofehring: At System -> Preferences -> Screen Resolution change the resolution =] [01:36] any better way to reboot other than sudo reboot ? [01:37] macd: No, I had no idea that was no longer recommended. What's the recommended way now? [01:37] puppy-user-06som: do you check dmesg regularly? [01:37] the Screen resolution program doesn't go any higher that 800 x 600 [01:37] mysterycool: i think if it were that simple, he'd have figured it out. [01:37] Genotrius, -phigh [01:37] mmm i don't undertand yo mcD [01:37] IndyGunFreak: Lol, sorry :p =p [01:37] :p [01:37] macd: What's that do? [01:37] Genotrius, "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" [01:38] but i know that the video card supports a higher resolution from when it was running windows XP [01:38] Genotrius, how about trying "man dpkg-reconfigure" and finding out yourself ;) [01:38] hello? [01:38] vincenzofehring, linux isnt windows is the frist thing to remember ;) [01:38] calc, sweet! any chance you have 2 tickets? lol (hey anytime you see me on, i'm on #SeaPhor if you ever need to talk off-topic) [01:38] Xsss4hell: Yes? [01:38] isnt there a comd to refrsh applications list aswells [01:38] macd: to play a video in open office... i have to converte the video into a open iffice format??? [01:38] tony55: let me give that a try [01:38] i know that... but shouldn't it still have the same capability with the video card? [01:38] I'm having some odd rendering problems with a Radeon 1950XT on gutsy. For example, torcs will stop displaying itself unless I am hitting keys or clicking within its active region. [01:38] hey ive been having a problem, im using 8.04, periodically the shutdown menu will appear randomly. somtimes clicking cancel will make it go away, sometimes it will just keep reappearing. has anyone heard of this problem? i tried googleing and have found nothing about it. [01:38] ferfactor, I dont have any clue how todo that, I dont even know if oenoffice plays video [01:39] tony55: how do I get to the mixer? [01:39] macd: right,... on linux every pixel is as least 4 times as much worth as on windows [01:39] macd: ok, thansk for you attention [01:39] andi5, ^5 [01:39] mysterycool I dont know howto add a bluetooth keyboard [01:39] mgmz, do you want drivers for it [01:39] :p lol [01:39] it wants a password [01:39] Someone knows haw play a video in open office slide show? [01:39] Xsss4hell: Ok [01:39] arvind_khadri: i think it just needs to be configured properly [01:39] andi5: dmesg confirms that switching to ondemand failed (even after reboot), so I tried powersave and it worked [01:39] If I try to run flightgear, it'll eventually take me into a plane on a runway, but all the triangles are all these random colors. [01:39] as long as it does not want a cookie ;-) ... [01:40] Xsss4hell, thats the pairing password, you should read your kydb manual to get it. [01:40] Fjss,right click on the volume control on panel [01:40] mgmz, what is the issue right now [01:40] vincenzofehring: well if you had a video card that was "normal".. and not so obscure, it probably would work fine... but there's likely not linux drivers for that device [01:40] I'm trying to figure out if there's a common problem relating to these symptoms. [01:40] mysterycool cant I enter any password? [01:40] arvind_khadri: it cant do any 3D stuff [01:40] I want to install some cool Gnome programs to Ubuntu 8.04 that are similar to cheese or pidgin... It reminds me of a mac. ( Not that I like macs... just how cool and organized the programs are ) [01:40] mgmz, did you install the drivers [01:40] hey ive been having a problem, im using 8.04, periodically the shutdown menu will appear randomly. somtimes clicking cancel will make it go away, sometimes it will just keep reappearing. has anyone heard of this problem? i tried googleing and have found nothing about it. [01:40] IndyGunFreak: so there is no way to set up a higher resolution? [01:40] hmm [01:40] Xsss4hell: Most probably what macd said, though i'd give a go for your root password =] [01:40] puppy-user-06som: what does it complain about? if the detected system would not allow scaling of the cpu, you would not see all those funny scaling files in /sys at all, iirc [01:40] arvind_khadri: ..? it says that there is a driver installed for it [01:41] mysterycool, sly dog ;) [01:41] vincenzofehring: i didn't say there was no way, but it could be problematic.. [01:41] :p [01:41] XD [01:41] =] [01:41] it complains about HW latency too long [01:41] mgmz, ok ... so compiz isnt working?

If it is just a library then most likely u wont see it in the Applications menu. You can type though the name of it in the terminal and if you get a response then it means that the library was successfully installed.

[01:48] and bluetooth has a range up to 10m at least [01:48] tony55 it's part of a logical partition [01:48] shaiguitar: so, if you want to link against sqlite3, just install libsqlite3-dev [01:48] susanna777, look at the output of mount there is only root mounted.... [01:48] frederic: you can manually edit /etc/apt/sources.list and update [01:48] xyzpaw: you running ubuntu or kubuntu?

[01:49] i think that forum thread was the answer [01:49] hi - my mouse control panel (hardy) doesn't seem to offer 'focus-follows-mouse' option. any clues? [01:49] tony55 i tried to make it a primary partition, but it would let me make more than 4 and windows already had two or three or whatever [01:49] xyzpaw: im not sure what xubuntu has. Just get amarok... :o) [01:50] susanna777, are all the other partitions you have mounted or do you have only one partition [01:50] vincenzofehring, does "lsmod | grep nm2200" return anythiung?

[01:59] tried hard and harder [01:59] jehoo, no, like a plastic clip... [01:59] vincenzofehring, edit your xorg config file, and change the refresh [01:59] andi5, susanna777 says she has six partition cant see anything else that root [01:59] vincenzofehring, to HorizSync 36-52 VertRefresh 36-60 [01:59] jehoo, in store bought computers anyway [02:00] akh3n4t0n, susanna777 not me :) [02:00] vincenzofehring, then you should be able to go upto 1024.768 [02:00] susanna777, whats on sda1? [02:00] what is the name of the svn client CLI package? [02:00] tanath thanks ill look into it [02:00] okay, well, it sayd that the xorg config file doesn't exist [02:00] arvind_khadri: well, i did not paste that :) [02:00] arvind_khadri, sorry :) [02:00] jehoo, but really, whatever works... [02:00] Any ideas how to kill a process if kill -9 doesn't do it? [02:00] tony55 it's just called fat16 [02:00] tamath well I tried to check but in this website there is only 3 package (packages.bz2, packages.gz and releases). is this correct ? [02:00] how do I get a drive listing from a console? [02:00] are hardy bug fixes being pushed out to repositories yet? [02:00] is there an eeepc channel? [02:00] Dysk: does the process belong to you? [02:00] Dysk, try with sudo? [02:00] tony55 it was already there before i installed linux [02:00] susanna777, have you right now logged in as a normal user [02:01] Dysk, check if it's a 'zombie process'? [02:01] vincenzofehring, did you delete it ? hit alt+f2 to run gedit, then "gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf" [02:01] tanath, Tried this [02:01] andi5, Yes [02:01] QUESTION: DISPLAY=:3 ... what does this do? :P Thanks [02:01] anyone [02:01] arvind_khadri, yes, i don't know how to log in as root i tried a few times before but it wouldn't let me [02:01] i forgot to put the X11 in a capital x [02:01] http://pastebin.com/d53847d85 <-- here all i can find [02:01] why is ubuntu soooo popular ? [02:01] tried the modprobe thing too [02:01] the community is so big [02:01] chris127 because it's cool [02:01] chris: cause its great, and stable [02:01] susanna777, "sudo bash" in a terminal to get a root shell [02:01] i have never seen something like that in open source community [02:01] susanna777, ok do this sudo mount -a [02:01] tamath well I tried to check but in this website there is only 3 package (packages.bz2, packages.gz and releases). is this correct ? [02:02] Dysk: if it is not a zombie process, using important resources like cpu or memory and cannot be killed with sudo kill -9 , then reboot :) [02:02] lol [02:02] chris127, based on debian, has best community... [02:02] Sergeant_Pony, sudo fdisk -l [02:02] there is no refresh item in the xorg.conf file [02:02] i really say next time i do this i buy compatible hardware b4. [02:02] if you can sudo bash ... you might as well su - root [02:02] chris127, has funding [02:02] so im having this problem in hardy where the shutdown menu appears randomly? click cancel makes it go away sometimes, other times it wont go away until i restart? has anyone had this problem? [02:02] ahh, funding helps [02:02] akh3n4t0n, i got in [02:02] chris127: shall we stop talking? :) [02:02] tanath, not more than ubuntu [02:02] see, I have a new computer [02:02] chris127: firefox is as popular [02:02] every time i get a new computer and try to put linux on it [02:02] hardware is sooo difficult to install [02:03] chris127, yeah, it's funded by canonical, started by mark shuttleworth. check wikipedia [02:03] arvind_khadri, i got in as root [02:03] arvind_khadri, hm? [02:03] arvind_khadri, do i still type the sudo mount? [02:03] chris127: do you mean hardware or hardware drivers and setup? [02:03] coomac thanks [02:03] andi5, At this rate it'll probably boot right back up and still be running [02:03] hardware drivers [02:03] i've alwyas used slackware [02:03] susanna777, if you are root type mount -a [02:03] i think i need to change to something well... newer [02:03] ouch... without gnome, right? :) [02:03] yeah [02:03] just bourne again shell ;) [02:03] arvind_khadri, not more what? [02:04] arvind_khadri, it didn't do anything [02:04] is there a way to re-install Ubuntu's USB drivers it doesnt to seem to pickup my usb wireless adapter [02:04] since the refresh item is not in the xorg.conf file, what do i do? [02:04] susanna777, you can inspect /etc/mtab [or type "mount" in a terminal] to view the mounted partitions and their mount points; "sudo mount -a" will mount all your filesystems declared in /etc/fstab [02:04] vincenzofehring, under Section Monitor", add it exactly like this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9893/ [02:04] or sometimes stops seing my USB mouse and doesnt pick up USB HDD [02:04] hello. where may I find VLC for hardy heron ? (already done sudo apt-get update and checked /etc/apt/source.list and checked multiverse site (http://ftp.crihan.fr/ubuntu/ hardy ) [02:04] CrashPad, reinstall in synaptic? [02:04] susanna777, ok just type sudo mount -a [02:04] How can a mount my 2nd hard drive i cant see it ? [02:04] vincenzofehring, hey have a lil patience I cant type a million things at once, I didnt forget you [02:04] us ubuntu rpm based ? e.g. can i use yum ? [02:04] tanath, funding [02:04] tanath: Package name? [02:04] sorry [02:04] arvind_khadri, ubuntu doesn't have more funding than ubuntu? [02:04] ubuntu is .deb based [02:04] arvind_khadri, i did, i don't think it did anything [02:04] arvind_khadri, o.O [02:05] frederic: vlc is actually in multiverse... but why did not you use fr.archive.ubuntu.com? [02:05] CrashPad, not sure, but it has a search feature [02:05] with these 'tailored for winXP/vista' labels everywhere.... they really should be atleast honest and say: minimumcost ripped down hardware inside which wont work easily under real operating systems [02:05] :P [02:05] tanath, ubuntu has more funding that debain [02:05] Now that I just changed that file, i have to reboot in order for it to take effect? [02:05] arvind_khadri, i was saying that ubuntu _has_ funding [02:05] arvind_khadri, according to gparted, dev/sda2 (windows partiton) doesn't have anything on it and there's an exclamation point next to it [02:05] susanna777, ok now type mount [02:05] QUESTION: DISPLAY=:3 ... what does this do? :P Thanks [02:05] vincenzofehring, no, hit "crtl+alt+backspace" then login again [02:05] tanath, oh ok [02:05] so im having this problem in hardy where the shutdown menu appears randomly? click cancel makes it go away sometimes, other times it wont go away until i restart? has anyone had this problem? [02:05] I'm going to be moving my personal server from my home DSL line to a hosted server and I'd like to form some projections of my bandwidth usage. Can anyone suggest what tools I might use to do that? [02:05] Hi, Im trying to get MSN webcam support on 8.04, is there any1 that can recommend a program?? [02:05] andi5, maybe because I don't know what this is ... [02:05] Mimi, in what context? [02:05] that sould correct the problem now? [02:06] arvind_khadri, done [02:06] Hello guys. I want to change my software repositories back to the original settings, but the server does not show on synaptic options. What command can I use on the terminal to get it done? Also, would "pe.archive.ubuntu/hardy" be the appropiate path? [02:06] bennyf12, install "amsn" [02:06] vincenzofehring, I dont know until you try. [02:06] susanna777, what does it give the same old output [02:06] macd: im trying with that program, no luch [02:06] anyone any hint for me and my aheros/attansic eth problem? http://pastebin.com/d53847d85 [02:06] any help with pppoe here? [02:06] wil, how randomly? [02:06] wil is it really random or does it happen when you hit certain key combinations? [02:06] Mimi: it sets the variable DISPLAY to :3 ... locally in the shell if you do not export it... if prepended to a command c, c is executed with that variable as environment variable set [02:06] bennyf12, does your webcam work in cheese? [02:06] macd: DISPLAY=:3 WINEDEBUG=-all wine "$HOME/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Guild Wars/Gw.exe" ( to launch a game) [02:06] susanna777, i don't think i got what the problem is; i'm willing to help [if i can].. please repeat which is problem you are facing [02:06] now that i have logged back in, check the screen resolution application? [02:06] susanna777, is the drive a NTFS one??

[02:07] macd: This is what Im trying to do http://paste.ubuntu.com/9890/ (Yes I am in wine but this is a linux/ubuntu question) [02:07] bennyf12, and your telling amsn, to use the same device as cheese? [02:07] arvind_khadri, same output and yes it is ntfs [02:07] macd: yes [02:07] andi5, do you mean I need to change the source.list (with gedit with this fr.archive.ubuntu.com) ? (if yes, how ?) [02:07] Luckrider, sudo apt-get install xchat [02:07] Luckrider: sudo apt-get install xchat [02:07] that is it [02:07] ok [02:07] that is what I thouhg, just wasn't sure [02:07] Luckrider, you just use the "xchat" package as opposed to "xchat-gnome" [02:07] macd: my resolutions have all gone away except for 800x600 [02:07] arvind_khadri, but when i first made the linux partition a month ago, it worked just fine with the win partition [02:07] thoughti it might install the gnome version [02:08] u might be interestd in apt-cache search [02:08] susanna777, you should have told us before....gparted doesnt support NTFS as of now [02:08] thanks [02:08] Mimi, yeah that launches a X display on screen 3, but I dont know anything about wine. [02:08] macd: Im trying trying to find out if display I want to use, since I dont know what display does. i know gnome runs in alt+ctrl+f7 or is it f8? is that what its refering to? [02:08] vincenzofehring, what was it at? [02:08] arvind_khadri, but it resized it before, a month ago, [02:08] tanath: i will happen even if i am away from my keyboard [02:08] frederic: better use system > administration > software sources [02:08] 800x600 [02:08] Mimi, no those are ttys not virtual X screens [02:08] andi5, yep. but then ? [02:08] it used to go 1024x768 [02:08] susanna777, using gparted [02:08] Hello guys. I want to change my software repositories back to the original settings, but the server does not show on synaptic options. What command can I use on the terminal to get it done? Also, would "pe.archive.ubuntu/hardy" be the appropiate path? [02:08] vincenzofehring, and you wanted it higher? [02:08] wil, have anything weird in your startup/session? any scripts or anything that might do it? [02:08] frederic: well, include multiverse [02:09] yeah, i wanted it to be able to go back to 1024x768 [02:09] vincenzofehring, what do you mean back to?

Obrigado. [02:11] tanath: ha i hoped it wouldent come to that [02:11] sorry [02:11] vincenzofehring, so was it ever at 1024.768 or not? [02:11] Its ok ^^ [02:11] vincenzofehring: you may have to add those yourself (after backing up a copy xorg.conf) [02:11] no... it was 800x600, but used to support 1024x768 [02:11] wrong command [02:11] susanna777, ok paste your fstab and mtab [02:11] =) [02:11] vincenzofehring, in linux or windows?

[02:12] Hardy Heron has seemed to goof up how I shift+click stuff [02:12] vincenzofehring, but try that paste link I posted a second ago, and then restart X and login again [02:12] vincenzofehring: look at a working xorg.conf in that forum thread, if there is one, and copy the lines. [02:12] wil, next time check dmesg when it happens [02:12] frederic, as far as i can see.. VLC is in "multiverse" [02:12] prince_jammys, I already did that for him in a paste.

[02:14] susanna777, type this gksu gedit /etc/fstab [02:14] tanath: how often do you have it set up to check for updates?

[02:14] any help with pppoe here? [02:14] susanna777, and then copy paste the text at pastebin [02:14] bennyf12, some features that Windows Live messenger has, amsn will not have, you can thank microsoft for that. [02:14] eboyjr, no, it hides the menu and provides a count down to press esc on the timeout setting [02:14] Mimi, i have updates now, but no notification [02:14] andi5: repo address? [02:14] susanna777, the same with mtab too [02:14] tanath: and youre noticing that there are more than one update a day? if thats the case it will only check 1 time per day regardless of how many there are that day [02:14] zelrikriando: sorry? [02:15] macd: is video webcam sending one of those?? [02:15] andi5: you said you added some repository [02:15] arvind_khadri, http://paste.ubuntu.com/9899/ [02:15] Mimi, i know that. but twice now, i opened update manager and found there were updates [02:15] eboyjr, if the timeout setting is '0', it skips the prompt, but you can press esc repeatedly [02:15] Mimi, i just opened in now, and there's 20 [02:15] susanna777, the same way mtab too [02:15] *it [02:15] zelrikriando: yes, but it can be done by clicking a checkbox in system > administration > software sources... personally, i simply edited /etc/apt/sources.list and reran sudo apt-get update [02:15] eboyjr, 0, not '0' [02:16] bennyf12, amsn works perfectly with my logitech webcam, sends/recieves to all my windows using friends.

[02:22] ryugaka: yes [02:22] Marce_, load a console, type 'tail -f n 50 /var/log/syslog' and wait for your crontab to run, also paste us your crontab to pastebin, so we can see if it will run [02:22] susanna777, ok did you do a fresh install from then?? [02:22] also: have they fixed the ndiswrapper issues with b44 [02:22] Mimi, right. *smacks forehead* [02:22] im using hardy heron, pon dsl-provider to connect to snet.net. once, connected, I can ping external addresses from my network, but web browsing doenst work, SNET claims my "router" is passing a bad password. pppoe IS passing the proper password. any help on that? [02:22] or whatever? [02:22] What are Skype credits? [02:22] KindOne Is it ATA or SATA? === lenon is now known as lenonm [02:22] coomac, i got the b43 driver installed (when i do an lshw -C network it shows the driver as b43-pci-bridge), i just don't know what command to issue to view wireless networks [02:22] arvind_khadri, what do you mean? fresh install of what? [02:22] take a deep breath [02:22] susanna777, is was your windows properly shuted down? [02:22] is it safe to use the upgrade from gui to 8.04? [02:22] susanna777, of ubuntu [02:22] wine seems to hate shift clicking in Hardy Heron any ideas? [02:22] from 7.10 anyhow [02:22] akh3n4t0n, yes [02:22] zChris, did you use the quake2 installer from the ubuntu repositories? [02:23] susanna777, did you reinstall ubuntu completely since then?? [02:23] arvind_khadri, no [02:23] macd: the quake2-data one ? [02:23] Did they fix the ndiswrapper and b44 issues yet? [02:23] zChris, yes [02:23] susanna777, if windows was not turned off cleanly the.. your partition may not be properly mounted [02:23] arvind_khadri, i updated to hardy with the update manager [02:23] susanna777, ok [02:23] There was a fix where you had to rmmod one thing, and then let ndiswrapper go first. [02:23] and then b44 [02:23] or something like that [02:23] Mimi, that was the problem. it wasn't running. i ran it, and now got the alert [02:23] akh3n4t0n, it was shut down right [02:23] syntac use the nm-applet [02:23] susanna777, oh ok do this apt-cache policy ntfsprogs [02:24] hi, has anyone heard of the hardy x86 alternate cd not picking up the keybard at all, where all previous versions of ubuntu have?

[02:24] I have intel D 805 [02:24] zelrikriando, and make sure it's in your session [02:24] xyzpaw: go console and type which xmms [02:24] What is the default dpi for Ubuntu fonts? Is it 96? 92? [02:24] macd, is there any way to execute the cron jobs right now? i am watching at the log [02:24] hi, my sound is making a horrible crackling sound, any suggestion why? [02:24] something like "commandlist '%ch*'"? [02:24] eeh_rik, what should i see? it just shows the wired connection [02:24] xyzpaw if you dont ahve it install it first, then set the dir [02:24] k, when i try to play a video from youtube, it gets 2 seconds into it and stop. every video is this way [02:24] syntac, it's pretty straight forward to install the driver - basically have the right kernel, b43-firmware cutter and cut the firmware into /lib/firmware. You'll know it's working with a quick dmesg [02:24] sven_: the 'apropos' command searches man pages for keywords [02:24] Mimi, i think it's because i killed it to make that alert go away :P [02:24] arvind_khadri, http://paste.ubuntu.com/9904/ [02:25] sven_, do you know regular expressions? [02:25] syntac if your wlan card is up and running it shows you wlans in reach [02:25] Why would you do that tanath ;____; Update notifier looooves you! :P [02:25] Marce_, do you know howto make a crontab? [02:25] Mimi, XD [02:25] macd: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9903/ -- I included the results from ifconfig and netstat -rn [02:25] Marce_, you can just set the time of execution for 5 minutes from now, and wait 5 minutes [02:25] susanna777, :) should have thought of it....just do sudo apt-get install ntfsprogs [02:25] trying to get Dual Head working on my X31 thinkpad using Ubuntu 8.04 [02:25] hi, my sound is making a horrible crackling sound, any suggestion why? [02:25] macd, yep i know, i am a programmer who cant set a stupid cronjob xD [02:25] unop: yes, a little [02:25] Mimi, it was having issues. there was a bug. killing it was necessary [02:26] Marce_, then set it for 5 minutes and wait ;) [02:26] syntac, what eeh_rik said, and also if your wifi has a toggle switch you may need to hit it [02:26] having difficutly - xrandr commands have absolutely no effect [02:26] * frederic is oficialy mad ... [02:26] So have they fixed the ndiswrapper issues :D? [02:26] Marce_: oh, i have seen system administrators failing with crontab entries ;-) [02:26] macd, i'll show you my line of my crontab [02:26] eeh_rik could you please explain what you told me? [02:26] susanna777: didn't you mention that the windows partition is FAT32? [02:26] andi5, hahahahaha [02:26] coomac, i have one but when i press it nothing happens (it constantly stays blue. in windows it goes red if it is disabled) [02:26] anyone familiar with xrandr? [02:26] oh, wow, apparently mplayer has some serious security issues: #395252 - requires too much security maintainance work due to embedded ffmpeg copy [02:26] prince_jammys, no it is ntfs [02:26] susanna777: ok [02:26] xyzpaw, youre trying to use streamripper/streamtuner, right? [02:26] susanna777, is it installing [02:26] yes rik [02:27] Morglet, I dont know why, but move auto eth1 above where it says iface eth1 inet static [02:27] yes eehrik [02:27] !vlc-nox [02:27] macd: i have this [02:27] Factoid vlc-nox not found [02:27] macd: 01 * * * * backupweb [02:27] arvind_khadri, can you, please, take a look at this http://paste.ubuntu.com/9906/ ? it nearly identical to susanna777's and still i have no problems with my ntsf partition [02:27] Morglet, it looks like its having a parse issue [02:27] syntac, open konsole and enter this please: 'dmesg | grep b43" === felipe__ is now known as FelipeMorales [02:27] re, my sound is making a horrible crackling noise, any suggestions why? drivers? [02:27] Marce_, cronjobs must have absolute paths. [02:27] akh3n4t0n, on it [02:27] xyzpaw, then u need to configute streamtuner so it knows where your xmms is.. ususally /usr/bin/xmms .. if not find out with 'which xmms' in console [02:27] macd: OK, trying that [02:27] syntac, it'll say whether the card is enabled or disabled [02:27] arvind_khadri, YES!!!!!! It recognizes it. [02:27] sven_, perl -le 'print for grep { /$ARGV[0]/ } map { glob "$_/*" } split /:/, $ENV{PATH}' regular_expression [02:27] Marce_: are you sure backupweb is in the PATH when called? try an absolute path [02:27] coomac, hold up i'm rebooting [02:27] i already did "which xmms" [02:27] arvind_khadri, i should be able to resize it on the live cd now right? [02:27] macd, i put backupweb in /usr/bin [02:28] akh3n4t0n, ntfsprogs is used for live cd [02:28] macd, when i call 'backupweb' it runs ok [02:28] susanna777, yah all the way :) [02:28] Marce_, so, 01 * * * * /usr/bin/backupweb [02:28] macd, i'll give it a try... [02:28] European-African, prolly the switch to pulse-audio. some people have had issues with it [02:28] there is a setting somewhere in streamtuner where u can set the path to xmms.. [02:28] what is vlc-nox ? [02:28] macd, is that short for mac daddy? [02:28] Marce_, additionally, if the file backupweb is not chmod +x it will not run. [02:28] arvind_khadri, ok, but my ubuntu is installed on the hard disk and i'm using my ntfs partition :| [02:28] eeh_rik i already did which xmms [02:28] arvind_khadri, and everybody else who helped thank you very much and i will try the live cd now [02:28] Well I guess I can check ubuntu1501 [02:28] damntourists, its just a nick. [02:29] tanath: is there a way of fixing it? [02:29] to see if there are any fixes [02:29] frederic: -nox typically stands for -no-x, i.e. a text-only package version [02:29] akh3n4t0n, i meant by gparted cd for ntfs things ,thats ok [02:29] xyzpaw, and then u have retrieved the path to xmms.. :) now u enter it in streamtner preferences [02:29] andi5, so it's not really vlc, I guess [02:29] susanna777, welcome ,do tell us how it went [02:29] okay [02:29] another quick one: how do you target a msg to someone in irc? /user? [02:29] i will [02:29] sven_: like this? [02:29] ./msg [02:29] yes [02:29] sven_, /msg user [02:29] macd, yep, it has execution permission. [02:29] how do u install cairo-starter bar [02:29] sven_: say their nick in a line [02:29] eeh_rik: no when i did which xmms it returned nothing [02:29] European-African, you'd have to do some troubleshooting. did you play with the sound applet? [02:29] arvind_khadri, ok i got it; ntfsprogs are only needed for gparted to di its job, right? [02:30] who here is running ubuntu on a coreduo macbookpro with vista and leopard [02:30] xyzpaw then u dont have it installed, type in sudo apt-get install xmms [02:30] im using hardy heron, pon dsl-provider to connect to snet.net. once, connected, I can ping external addresses from my network, but web browsing doenst work, SNET claims my "router" is passing a bad password. pppoe IS passing the proper password. any help on that? [02:30] Question: does nvidia-settings --load-config-only still work in 8.04 or is that outdated? [02:30] frederic: well, it probably does not have a complex gui, but only shows the player window or fullscreen... and can be controlled by start parameters or maybe even keybindings [02:30] shadeofgrey, I have i the paste [02:30] macd: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 195 2008-05-03 21:55 backupweb [02:30] European-African, try different outputs with it, and see what works [02:30] what happened to xmms? there is no gui its all console QQQQQQQQQQQQ [02:30] akh3n4t0n, yeah bingo [02:30] arvind_khadri, thanks :) [02:30] tanath, which sound applet? [02:30] hi, has anyone heard of the hardy x86 alternate cd not picking up the keybard at all, where all previous versions of ubuntu have? [02:30] Marce_, just set the crontab like I said above, it will work then. [02:30] Starnestommy: this? [02:30] macd: by all means share [02:30] sven_: yes [02:30] European-African, System > Prefs > Sound [02:30] Marce_, you didnt have to prove it to me ;P [02:30] macd: No difference, still doesn't obey the netmask, nor add the default route. [02:30] Starnestommy: that's easy [02:31] akh3n4t0n, welcome :) [02:31] Starnestommy: thanks [02:31] shadeofgrey, haha, past. ;) [02:31] still big trouble here: http://pastebin.com/d53847d85 :((((( no working netwrk adapter no fun...

[02:34] macd, thats the output of syslog! [02:34] Marce_, but you can be assured, if you have the crontab like 01 * * * * /usb/bin/backupweb [02:34] it will work [02:34] so i went out and purchased a new agp 8x video card, hopefully this one actually works with ubuntu. my old one wasnt working like.. at all. [02:34] sven_: #ubuntu-devel [02:35] Marce_, yeah, I meant the output from around the time the crontab was going to run, how else would I diagnose why it wasnt running [02:35] tanath: i already have everything enabled [02:35] prince_jammys: found it. [02:35] has anyone managed to get Tracker to work as advertised (ie, in the screenshots). I can't get it to show me a preview of the file (for example, a sentence containing the word I searched for). All it does is display the word and the filename. [02:35] Morglet, is that a workstation? [02:35] which is not very helpful since there is no context [02:35] why when I do sudo apt-get update does the repository ignore Translation-fr ? (I don't think it matters with vlc but ...) [02:35] andi5: /usr will not be live when I do this, tar bz2 whatever I can, to make it the smallest, with one line of syntax.

[02:46] eeh_rik, in your case, I think your card isnt able to pickup a dhcp request, due to a router, or cable modem maybe? [02:46] xyzpaw, amarok is the best :) [02:47] how do i format a floppy?

[02:51] !azureus [02:51] Morglet, hmm I was kinda hoping for testing [02:51] azureus is a popular bittorent client written in Java, installation instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AzureusHowTo [02:51] This is what an attempt to fsck the drive gets: http://pastebin.com/m5bc23262 [02:51] sven_: type it in your server window [02:51] (and no, no other processes are attempting to access the drive, and it's not mounted) [02:51] sven_: all commands on irc start with / [02:51] laeg: /bin/azureus/azureus looks like a broken path... are you sure it is not /usr/bin/azureus? [02:51] sven_: it is, but better to do it away from here. do it in the main "ubuntu irc" window in your client [02:51] sven_: if I were you, i would type it in the server window just in case you forget the slash or something goes wrong, but normally it is "safe" to type here, in the sense that it would work [02:51] How can I disable the big sound icon popping up when i move the volume wheel on my laptop? [02:51] its finally that easy [02:52] sven_: if you want to test different bot factoids, /msg ubottu and fire way [02:52] how do i get to the server window in pidgin? or should i be using xchat? [02:52] tony, you cant do that to the same machine your logged into, you have to uyse the livecd, or unmount the filesystem. [02:52] sven_: *away [02:52] does sual monitor support still suck? [02:52] What;s the best IDE for Ubuntu?

[02:52] ?? [02:52] macd: (indeed, I cannot mount it) [02:52] macd: well that config works perfectly when I type in the ifconfig and route commands by hand, so the question is why isn't it running the same commands. :-) [02:52] danbhfive: Thank you [02:53] well i finally ran the liuveCD with no issue [02:53] arvind_khadri: and increase the size sda4 which has the root and swap file under it, from 9.71GB to 15.64GB [02:53] tony, whances are udev did mount it. [02:53] How do I reinstall my kernel? [02:53] and it ran no prob [02:53] arvind_khadri: it starts to do something then it gives me the error message, but it does not resize them [02:53] As in uninstall it then reinstall it?

[02:53] hey guys, i've deleted a user, but his /home directory is still there. How do I remove the user's home directory? Sudo gives me permission issue [02:53] r00723r0: why do you want that? [02:53] I'm on 2.6.24-17. [02:53] Morglet, that is a good question, try to copy the interfaces file to interfaces.old, and rescreate it === RoAk is now known as RoAkSoAx [02:53] macd: notice that it's putting in the wrong netmask, using an antique class A netmask, as if it hadn't even seen the netmask entry. Bizarre [02:53] amenado, well it was nice while it lasted,,, just lost wireless and cant figure out why, have it all logged at http://www.wood-bee-co.com/woodbeeco/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=38&Itemid=63 [02:53] andi5, I read that installing nvidia drivers after the kernel will screw things up. [02:54] susanna777, sda 5 has root and sda 4 has swap [02:54] judgepg, you dont ever move home [02:54] Morglet, yeah its pretty wierd for sure [02:54] andi5, it's times like these when I miss Gentoo. [02:54] I unistalled firefox beta 3 and installed 3 with synaptic but it gives me an error when I try to install extensions [02:54] thats suicide [02:54] shadeofgrey, I've got a user called /home/testusr [02:54] shadeofgrey, I'de like to remove testusr [02:54] macd: ah. Any way to get around that? [02:54] matthew_, the majority of firefox extensions dont work with FF3. [02:54] so go in therough admin and users and delete them [02:54] susanna777, hey just a sec [02:54] r00723r0: cannot you take the nvidia drivers from the ubuntu repos? i highly doubt they break the kernel when installed [02:54] tony, does it sbd show in "df" ? [02:54] macd, that's why i uninstalled it [02:54] tony, err sdb* [02:54] macd: Nope. [02:55] They don't break the kernel, andi5. [02:55] but they errror in 2.0 [02:55] I seem to be getting sound lag when playing mp3s anyone have any ideas? [02:55] andi5, they just don't work. [02:55] Hi, during install of hardy heron x64, the install gets stuck at 5% formatting the ide drive. Any help is appreciated. Thanks. [02:55] tony, hmmm, odd, and its ext3 filesystem right? [02:55] linux is not windows dude. there are rules you cant break [02:55] shadeofgrey, thanks - any thoughts. I've deleted the user from the system -> Users and Groups [02:55] andi5, and I do take nvidia drivers from repos. [02:55] thats one [02:55] r00723r0: even after a reboot? [02:55] susanna777, sda 6 for swap and sda 5 for root [02:55] Even after a reboot. [02:55] macd: Definitely ext3. [02:55] SeaPhor-> you still have roaming checked? i would uncheck it [02:55] kodmaster, go reburn a new install cd. [02:55] arvind_khadri: yes [02:55] kodmaster, perhaps wait for a ubuntu developer herre :-( [02:55] andi5: /bin/azureus/azureus exists but i've also tried to use the script which is in /use/bin/azureus - both give the same result unforuntately :( [02:55] nvidia 5200 fx drivers not working [02:55] macd: i have burnt two [02:55] r00723r0: i do not understand that, actually... but i am not trained in nvidia-glx question s:) [02:55] how to install [02:55] arvind_khadri: and they are both part of sda 4 [02:56] andi5, I didn't know people were trained to help here. [02:56] macd: stuck at same part [02:56] kodmaster, as joliet? [02:56] susanna777, they are independent now...not some part of that :) [02:56] arvind_khadri: okay [02:56] r00723r0: some are more active than others (like me, i just join every month or so) [02:56] ad: was that targeted at me? [02:56] amenado, nope, custom, manual config- saved,,, all doc'd at the site i gave [02:56] shadeofgrey: joliet is? [02:56] SeaPhor-> also if you have neighboring AP, put yours in like channel 11 instead of channel 6 [02:56] susanna777, you need to resize them individually [02:56] tony, try mounting it, then get the volume_id of the partitions, then run e2fsck on them [02:57] hey,can anyone help me out with my firefox issue? [02:57] kodmaster, your a mac purest? [02:57] Can someone help me determine if I have the right nvidia driver installed? I'm having trouble with Appearance and Desktop Effects [02:57] SeaPhor-> i dont see it where you have your roaming unchecked [02:57] sven_, oehm nope sry [02:57] which is a good report generator in ubuntu . (anything written in python) [02:57] shadeofgrey: nope windows [02:57] matthew_, ask [02:57] arvind_khadri: okay i am resizing the win partition by itself [02:57] okay [02:57] then [02:57] r00723r0: this still puzzles me... i had a kernel update issue today as well, so i went into aptitude and reinstalled the kernel (press "L") and made sure nvidia-glx was installed [02:57] susanna777, ok .. [02:57] Morglet, looking around on lauchpad (bug tracking for ubuntu) I see some similar things, but they were all due to parse erros, or wild spaces, newlines in the interfaces file, but I think you might have come across a actual bug. [02:57] we need to tsalk in private [02:57] macd: "mount: special device /dev/sdb1 does not exist" [02:57] I unistalled firefox beta 3 and installed 3 with synaptic but it gives me an error when I try to install extensions [02:57] andi5, I don't use aptitude. [02:58] ill walk you through it [02:58] r00723r0: and still i do not understand what my problems were about [02:58] er installed 2 [02:58] msg me [02:58] andi5, it's funny. [02:58] i he;lp [02:58] There are no restricted drivers in RDM. [02:58] matthew_, the old plugins arent yet supported totally [02:58] Even though I just installed nvidia. [02:58] tony, hmmmmmm [02:58] how do i change my nick? it's already registered! [02:58] macd: gparted actually can't read the disklabel, even.

[03:34] ubuntu, yeah (gutsy) [03:34] before that, mac OS X (leopard) [03:34] cheese louise [03:34] mike_e: im looking into it.. i assume you didnt get this sitch when installing gutsy [03:35] nope [03:35] Just Installed VIM and the CTRL-] option doesn't work any ideas?? [03:35] I never figured out why ubuntu crashed when it did [03:35] mike_e: could you shoot me with that error prompt again [03:35] !ubottu [03:35] Factoid ubottu not found [03:35] which one? with fdisk? [03:35] Trying to share Drive /dev/sdb with smaba what should the fstab line for the drive look like so all have read write access to it? [03:35] mike_e: you're asking about installation stoppoing short at 48%, right? [03:35] Hello, i want to replace all the "/" with a "-" in a string in bash. any help? :D [03:36] oh yeah, also there are problems with detecting the hard drive [03:36] BioDeath [03:36] gparted doesn't detect any deviices [03:36] Any networking devs around? We diagnosed a bug in /sbin/ifup with macd, I guess it should be reported. [03:36] * arvind_khadri fixed my breaking X myself === bryan is now known as BioDeath [03:36] mike_e: is it mounted? [03:36] and fdisk says "unable to open /dev/sda" [03:36] mike_e: are u trying to mount an NTFS filesystem? [03:36] Hello, i want to replace all the "/" with a "-" in a string in bash. any help? :D [03:36] NTFS? [03:37] is there any way I can run Amarok at the same time as GTA:SA in Wine? [03:37] nevermind then, lol [03:37] no, the hard drive doesn't seem to be mounted [03:37] NTFS = new technology file system [03:37] mike_e: ntfs is the default filesys for xp and vista [03:37] no, haha not at all === insomnia_ is now known as anabol [03:37] I use apt-mirror to mirror several distributions (hardy, gutsy) and architectures (i386, amd64). The clean.sh that each run of apt-mirror creates seems to include files that are necessary for the other three mirrors, so I dare not run it. How can I get a clean.sh that only includes files not needed for any distribution? [03:37] what kind of FS? [03:37] mike_e: you'll hav to mount it before gparted [03:37] Hello, i want to replace all the "/" with a "-" in a string in bash. any help? :D [03:37] anyone know how to find through command line all local machines on a network? [03:37] Marce_: #bash [03:37] babolat: dont u get tired of typing peoples usernames everytime u type a message? [03:37] how do I mount the hard drive? [03:38] * sebsebseb vncviewer -listen my ip address? and then I can connect to the other persons computer that is running VNC. I think that's it? [03:38] mike_e: try mounting it and get to its properties tab to see its filesys [03:38] "mount /dev/sda"? [03:38] hydrogen, sed and awk are too much [03:38] amenado, there's just gotta be 1 simple little thing wrong in a config file somewhere, it works then it doesn't, is driving me mad [03:38] tomas: probably but i want things easy on the eyes ;) [03:38] mike_e: cant you use the command: sudo mount /dev/XXXX /mount/temp [03:38] thomas: probably but i want things easy on the eyes ;) [03:38] give it a shot [03:38] hydrogen, i only wanna do that. [03:38] mike_e, sudo mount /dev/sdax /mount/point [03:38] Marce_: #bash [03:38] mike_e: yep.. or just go to Computer [03:38] babolat: i dont get how that makes it easier on the eyes... in IRSSI it shows ur name in yellow, everything else is white. am i lacking in IRC knowledge? [03:39] hydrogen: what? [03:39] babolat: the Properties tabs all say computer:/// in 8.04, for me anyway [03:39] Marce_: join #bash [03:39] ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mount /dev/sda/mount/temp [03:39] its not on topic for this channel [03:39] mount: can't find /dev/sda/mount/temp in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab [03:39] hydrogen: ah sorry [03:39] hydrogen: :) [03:39] mike_e: u forgot a space. [03:39] mike_e: if its in "Computer" you should be able to mount it from thre [03:39] hello [03:39] anyone try one of those free ipod things here? [03:39] mike_e, the mount points should be created [03:39] Trying to share Drive /dev/sdb with smaba what should the fstab line for the drive look like so all have read write access to it? [03:40] yes... [03:40] thomas: i'm on pidgin so === MidgetARG is now known as MidgetSpy [03:41] Marce_: though, export VAR="///"; echo ${VAR//\//-} [03:41] will do what you want [03:41] mike_e: try this first, make the mount point by typing: 'sudo mkdir /mount/temp' then do 'sudo chmod 777 -R /mount/temp' then try to mount it using 'sudo mount /dev/XXXXX /mount/temp' [03:41] thomas: ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mount /dev/sda /mount/temp [03:41] mount: mount point /mount/temp does not exist [03:41] ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mount/temp [03:42] mount: mount point /mount/temp does not exist [03:42] mike_e: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:42] in "computer" there's the filesystem [03:42] mike_e: did u make the directory with mkdir? [03:42] easy there mike [03:42] mike_e thomas, its /mnt [03:42] no [03:42] arvind_khadri: its not really location specific, u can mount anything anywhere. [03:43] why doesn't ubuntu update azureus in the repo? they're on 3.x and the repo has 2.5 [03:43] arvind_khadri: oh my bad, im too used to Mandriva... i meant /mnt. LOL [03:43] Does launchpad openid work? How do I use it? [03:43] thomas, with the mount points existing :) [03:43] are there any new and cool exciting apps or games for hardy that i should download im bored peeps [03:43] laeg: ubuntu updates software only every 6 months [03:43] arvind_khadri: LOL yeah, its a little late. [03:43] I want to attempt to write a driver for the rock band drum kit, never written a driver before. where a good place to start? [03:43] how do I make the directory with mkdir? [03:43] thomas, :) better late than never [03:43] danbhfive: ty [03:44] what do u want to do with the rock band drum kit andre_pl [03:44] mike_e: instead, try this command first 'sudo mkdir /mnt/temp' [03:44] danbhfive: how come the update isn't in line with the distro update? === BioDeath is now known as DrifterSX [03:44] amenado, well keep your eyes open for this issue, gotta be more than just me with it. no one else seems to have seen the "Unlock" part either [03:44] mike_e: dont use the ' though [03:44] sup arvind_khadri [03:44] okay did that [03:45] mike_e: ok now type 'sudo chmod 777 -R /mnt/temp' [03:45] okay [03:45] mike_e: lastly, 'sudo mount /dev/XXXXXX /mnt/temp' [03:45] hello, everytime I try to install something it says file not found. Can I get a link or someone to pastebin there sources.list? [03:45] sudo apt-get install google-earth isnt working am i typing it wrong?? im on hardy... [03:46] special device /dev/sda does not exist [03:46] Hello, how do I prevent Compiz Fusion to start with KDE 4? [03:46] mike_e: ok... you need to type the partition, you cant simply mount the drive. [03:46] and it says it is reffered to by another package name fomr a different source? [03:47] mike_e: you need to try something like sda1, sda2, sda3 (hit tab once you type sda to see which partitions of sda u can mount) [03:47] yeah [03:47] it does the same thing [03:47] DrifterSX: isn't it in synaptic? [03:47] there are no sda partitions in /dev/ [03:47] theDtTvB2: kill it then make sure it isn't running when you log off. [03:47] oo maybe lol i didnt chk there yet...duuhhhhsky [03:47] i.e. ls /dev | grep sda produces nothing [03:47] DrifterSX, hi [03:47] yo yo [03:47] How do I remove unused packages? [03:47] hi [03:47] ?? [03:47] mike_e: are you sure its sda then? [03:47] Is there any downside to mounting everything with noatime? [03:47] eboyjr: apt-get autoremove [03:47] finally got skype through terminal nice and easy [03:47] hello, everytime I try to install something it says file not found. Can I get a link or someone to pastebin there sources.list? [03:47] yes [03:48] thanks [03:48] what's with most of the software in synaptic being out of date? [03:48] mike_e: what filesystem is it? [03:48] not hda [03:48] laeg: i wish i knew too... im waiting for wine to update. [03:48] eboyjr, sudo apt-get autoclean to clean the cache of apt :) [03:48] they *were* ext3 [03:48] I have a DV camcorder connected to my laptop's firewire port. How do I transfer video? [03:48] What _is_ an unused package, anyway? [03:48] thomas: i bet its ntfs [03:48] babolat: lol dont get me started [03:48] :( [03:49] thomas, mike_e: might want to try the ntfs packages [03:49] mike_e: why do you say were? [03:49] What _is_ an unused package, anyway? [03:49] using printing in the Firefox browser... under the General tab, "PDF" is a great feature--- is it possible to change the default printed-to location instead of the /home//PDF/ folder ? [03:49] eboyjr: a package installed as a dependency which doesn't need to be there anymore now that the packages needing it aren't there or don't need it anymore. [03:49] babolat: lol [03:49] Grub is giving me an error 15 after an 8.04 alternate install. I am using softraid but only for /home. / is mounted on the primary boot device. Is grub busted in 8.04? [03:49] I had a root partition that was ext3 [03:49] and a swap partition [03:49] clem, Cool! Thanks. [03:49] I know that because when I installed ubuntu that's what it said [03:50] hb, re-isntall grub ,the /home is a separate partition right [03:50] mike_e: ok try this 'mount -t ext3 /dev/sda /mnt/temp' [03:50] Is there any downside to mounting everything with noatime? I don't care about when the last time a file is accessed, and I think it'll be easier on my HDD this way. [03:50] i ve installed ubuntu 8.04 and i ve a problem with the Graphics Card Driver. I use a NVidia GeForce 8400 M GS card and hence i installed the beta driver from nvidia.com so what happens is that is weird. after i install the driver and when i do gdm start the driver works but when i reboot the system the driver does not seem to work [03:51] the driver somehow does not seem to get loaded [03:51] mike_e: i meant sudo... 'sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sda /mnt/temp' [03:51] has anybody had trouble with frostwire in hardy? [03:51] starcraft [03:51] oops [03:51] can someone help me with this issue ? [03:51] it says special device /dev/sda doesn't exist [03:51] Hey all, Is it possible in GNOME to have a two lined taskbar like in KDE? I see these old screenshots with it, but nothing recent. Example here: http://toastytech.com/guis/rh8floppy.png [03:51] arvind_khadri, yes / and /home arn't even on the same interface. I've reinstalled the base system twice now with the same error. [03:51] how can I change the console font/resolution in the tty consoles? [03:51] #ubuntu-ru [03:51] G__81: does it make a difference if you used the one in the repos? [03:52] tell me what it says when you type 'sudo fdisk -l' (upload the output to pastebin.ca [03:52] mike_e: "sudo fdisk -l" will give you a list of all your partitions [03:52] OK... [03:52] clem: wow you read my mind [03:52] I can't open programs through GNOME but I can run them in gnome-terminal. [03:52] nothing comes out [03:52] For example, compiz wouldn't replace with the run dialog. [03:52] thomas: :) [03:52] And Exaile wouldn't open either. [03:52] arvind_khadri, if I install the standard 8.04 image without a softraid setup grub boots fine. I only get error 15 when I use the alternate install and configure my software raid. [03:52] mike_e: there has to be an output [03:52] hb, ok seems like the grub on the alternate might be a toast.... use some other cd or other older versions of live cd and check [03:52] But both work with the gnome-terminal. [03:52] Any suggestions? [03:52] babolat, yes coz the latest beta driver alone works with my card thats a bug in Nvidia and this is the workaround [03:52] hm [03:53] i've got 7 still I'll try that [03:53] mike_e: I just joined and don't know your details. But did you just update to Hardy and lose an entire HD? [03:53] there is no output, it lits nothing [03:53] Hmm. [03:53] no, this problem happened before hardy came out [03:53] It works in the run dialog if I select "view in terminal". [03:53] Weird as hell. [03:53] mike_e: it either lists something or give u back an error... [03:53] hb, well alternate is the only one which gives option for setting raid [03:53] Anyone know anything about this? [03:53] hi hi hi [03:53] babolat, after i install the driver and when i start gdm start it works but when i reboot the system it does not [03:53] wassup [03:53] mike_e: u have to type sudo, you cant just type fdisk -l... 'sudo fdisk -l' [03:53] arvind_khadri, yes I was just trying to make that connection explictly [03:53] babolat, i guess i ve found out the problem too [03:54] Nobody? [03:54] mike_e: just out of curiosity... do you have the UUID's or the /dev/hd* paths in your fstab? [03:54] I have a DV camcorder connected to my laptop's firewire port. How do I transfer video? [03:54] babolat, after i install it when i do lsmod | grep nvidia i get this [03:54] can somehelp me clear my problem??? [03:54] ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo fdisk -l [03:54] ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ [03:54] nvidia 7113952 36 [03:54] i2c_core 24832 1 nvidia [03:54] agpgart 34760 2 nvidia,intel_agp [03:54] no, none of those in fstab [03:54] hb ok did you look up in the forums maybe someone would have has that issue [03:54] hmm [03:54] but when i reboot it i dont get these [03:54] using printing in the Firefox browser... under the General tab, "PDF" is a great feature--- is it possible to change the default printed-to location instead of the /home//PDF/ folder ? I didn't see an option in any of the tabs to change this location.... [03:54] i just get nvidia 0 and then agpgart nvidia,intel_agp [03:54] mike_e: you don't have either the UUID nor the paths??? [03:54] I would like to change the boot resolution from the 600x400 or whatever it is to 1600x1200 how can I do this, I would also like when I hit CTRL+F1 to get the same resolution in that console, is this possible (of course it is, I just dont know how) [03:55] G__81: what was that card's name again? [03:55] NVidia GeForce 8400 M GS [03:55] MakGyver: you can ask the boot option vga=ask [03:55] no, I don't [03:55] arvind_khadri, yea but the answers didn't really seem to relate. it seemed most of the error 15 problems came from people who were installing using (webui?) Ubuntu install from windows. I'm installing from a fresh disk to a fresh disk. [03:55] G__81: un momento porfavor [03:55] clam ok thnx /boot? [03:55] its currently working but when i reboot the system something does not get loaded properly thats the issue [03:55] babolat, that means? [03:56] MakGyver: in /boot/grub/menu.lst [03:56] G__81: one moment pls [03:56] ok [03:56] my swap drive has hibernate data on it and the system wont automatically use it and i have no swap, how should i clear it and enable the swap? i need it ungently [03:56] urgently* [03:56] clam thx mate, appreciated [03:56] mike_e: you have to have something in your fstab that details where your partitions are. I would double check your HD's UUID and redo the fstab that way [03:56] MakGyver: or even by typing "e" in grub itself to edit the line.. at boot time. [03:56] hb thats wubi :) ok i feel the alternate cd's grub might be a toast just check some other alternate cd ,if the problem persists then check up how you are setting the RAID [03:56] arvind_khadri, the gentu forums said that the current version of grub might give that error if it's compiled with buggy cvflags or something like that. their solution was pretty advanced and speaking bluntly, over my head atm. [03:57] There seem to be no partitions [03:57] clem, I dont use grub it seems [03:57] this is a default 8.04 install [03:57] bmk789: Did you turn off the swap or what? [03:57] what should "ls /etc/fstab' produce? [03:57] mike_e: so you are not in Ubuntu at the moment right? [03:57] I'm in ubuntu liveCD [03:57] patifa: no, i hibernated once and on every boot it says it cant read the swap partition because it has the filesystem type "suspend" [03:57] mike_e: that would produce nothing [03:57] Hi, GNOME is being gay. When I use the menu or run dialog to open programs, it doesn't work (but killall works well). However, everything can be run with the terminal, and the run dialog works if I select "view in terminal". [03:57] MakGyver: you don't use grub?? [03:57] hb, :) those are all the least cases ..we can ignore it at present [03:57] Any suggestions? [03:57] arvuind_khadri, yea i'm loading 7.10 alternate as we speak. just had to find the cd [03:57] mike_e: do this... 'ls /dev' and paste that to www.pastebin.ca and then send the link to this chat [03:58] G__81: found this. tell me if it helps :) -->http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=644331 [03:58] MakGyver: a default install puts grub in your MBR. [03:58] hb, :) ok [03:58] clem, not sure what its using lol, its the default install (from the Live CD) [03:58] mike_e: the fstab is a text file. try gedit /etc/fstab [03:58] Anyone? [03:58] MakGyver: yes, the very first boot menu.. right after the BIOS, that's grub. [03:58] mike_e: that will let you look at it without making any changes. [03:58] clem, /boot has no grub entries/folders [03:58] MakGyver: oh... [03:58] http://www.pastebin.ca/1006592 [03:59] bmk789: Any way you could find out EXACTLY what the error is, so I can do research on the cases causing it? [03:59] babolat, envy does not work [03:59] !mpd [03:59] Factoid mpd not found [03:59] unionfs / unionfs rw 0 0 [03:59] G__81: how does it not work?? [03:59] tmpfs /tmp tmpfs nosuid,nodev 0 0 [03:59] hence this workaround i am following by downloading the driver and installing it it works but when i reboot the system it does not [03:59] is what fstab says [04:00] MakGyver: maybe it's located elsewhere... I'm going to have to go (3:59am here). I'm sure someone will help. Good luck with this issue. [04:00] babolat, coz envy does not install the beta that might be the reason [04:00] mike_e: well that is the list of your /dev folder... is there something you wanted me to see? [04:00] clem, I will find it, its not life threatening thx anyhoew [04:00] !music player daemon [04:00] frederic: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [04:00] well it will have the "Starting early crypto discs..." then i enter my password and it says it couldnt mount swap because filesystem type is suspend and it asks me to enter my password again and after i do it says the same thing and continues to boot with no swap [04:00] MakGyver: no problem. [04:00] patifa: ^ [04:00] G__81: oh ok.. no need for the lip buddy.. another moment [04:00] werenerd: thomas wanted to see it [04:00] hello. I just installed ubuntu 8.04 and I'm having trouble configuring the dual display with an nvidia card. I have two monitors of different make and model. Currently the default display is the smaller monitor but everytime I try to change the default monitor to the bigger screen, the changes do not take effect. Any suggestions on how I can fix this? [04:00] the lack of any sda or hda is notable [04:00] mike_e: aah. well it was truncated. it stops at the P's [04:01] I have a problem upgrading to 8.04 LTS from 7.10. The installer cannot find 5 files, and aborts. Is it possible to manually grab the .deb files or to change the download server? [04:01] my MIRO keeps crashing every time i want to see a video :( [04:01] hello [04:01] mike_e: if you fstab only says tmpfs /tmp tmpfs nosuid,nodev 0 0 and thats it, you have a serious problem. [04:01] patifa: nevermind, all i did was "sudo swapon /dev/vg1/swap" and now i have swap [04:01] babolat, i am missing something very small coz this driver works but after the restart there is something that gets not loaded [04:01] I'm having issues trying to get ubuntu running on my laptop [04:01] Ubuntu seems to install fine, I start it up, GRUB loads, I start Ubuntu, loading bar finished all the way, screen goes black, then just shows a flashing underscore in the left corner for 5 or 6 seconds, then stops showing anything and does nothing from that point on [04:01] werenerd: yeah I know I have a serious problem :P [04:01] my MIRO keeps crashing every time i want to see a video :( [04:01] bmk789: ahh, great. I was about to suggest you swapon'd the thing :) [04:02] mike_e: how are you even running? [04:02] can someone please tell me where the exit button in the gnome panel's icon is stored? [04:02] I am setting up an ubuntu fileserver and I want to be sure it does not run out of disk space. I would like to allow all the users to add as many files as they want with no quotas, but I want to limit the size of the directory they are uploading to. How do I set a maximum size for a directory? [04:02] bmk789: if it doesn't work, just say so [04:02] werenerd: liveCD [04:02] patifa: ok thanks === thomas is now known as thomas`afk [04:02] G__81: probably but i can't get a hold of what it is.. darn [04:02] mike_e: well crap. then opening the fstab of the livecd will do nothing for you [04:03] good to know [04:03] mike [04:03] mike_e: I just saw where you mentioned it earlier. you didn't direct it to me so I didn't see it. sorry [04:03] can someone here help me out with my NVidia Problem please? [04:03] how does one get to the compiz preferences pane? i want to tweak my display [04:04] the Beta Driver from Nvidia.com works but when i reboot the system it does not work [04:04] G__81: what bios are u on? [04:04] OK, can you see your local hard drives at all? even as unmounted media in the /media folder? [04:04] babolat, its a Dell Inspiron 1520 [04:04] I have a problem upgrading to 8.04 LTS from 7.10. The installer cannot find 5 files, and aborts. Is it possible to manually grab the .deb files or to change the download server? [04:04] hi there [04:04] my MIRO keeps crashing every time i want to see a video :( [04:04] werenerd: there is nothing in /media [04:04] damntourists, you have to install the advanced config progoam (don't remeber the name off the top of my head) [04:04] dell inspiron wireless issue :D? [04:04] does anyone have a video4linux tv card [04:04] ? [04:04] Ashfire908: :( ok [04:04] heya [04:05] babolat,its not that complex coz the same driver works with fedora 8 === Charitwo is now known as kirby [04:05] werenerd: also, fdisk can't open /dev/sda and gparted doesn't "detect any devices" [04:05] obione, Lots of tv tuner cards options for linux. the #mythbuntu guys use a wide varity of them also. [04:05] presumably because /dev/sda isn't mounted [04:06] i am quite desparate for this [04:06] flash is not working in 64 [04:06] G__81: and no error prompts on bootup or file loading? [04:06] no [04:06] Dr_willis tnks [04:06] mike_e: well Gparted should detect any local drives/partitions. Mounted or not. Have you physically checked the drives? Did you add one, or remove one? [04:06] for ryugaka: I can help you [04:06] I am running Ubuntu 7.10 on my Asus Eee PC. Whenever I try to open an avi file with vlc or Mplayer these programs crash, is there anything I can do? [04:06] Is it true that adobe just let flash go open source? [04:07] what do you mean by physically checked the drives?

[04:07] i guess i need to switch to an other distro [04:07] G__81: could you pastebin your xorg.conf? [04:07] hb: i really, really doubt it [04:07] hb: I heard that they're opening the spec, which means that gnash will work better, but I don't think that they're opening up the source of the flash plugin itself [04:07] renegade420: Crash with what message? [04:07] well i cant open pdf files with firefox [04:07] there is a small difference between the one that works and the other one [04:07] Lynet: like just comppletely close with no message [04:07] renegade420: And with all .avi or only one particular?

[04:09] lucroth sounds like you have X misconfigured [04:09] By typing "sudo apt-get upgrade php5", will that upgrade my php5? [04:09] babolat: if i click it in firefox it goes to manual flash install page [04:10] mike_e: lol, no I was asking if maybe you added a hd, worked on the inside and may have accidentally unplugged the power cable. basic troubleshooting [04:10] X? What is that? And how do I reconfigure that? Ubuntu will run in its "recovery mode" if that will allow me to fix it there [04:10] Aaron_Mason, ive been having issues with my SATA and IDE burners under hardy.. but dident have any issues under 7.10 - Odd that you are having issues. You might want to check the forums. [04:10] thompa: saving it won't work? [04:10] Lynet: Just bin the output? like bin the output vlc??

[04:11] babolat: but its only with 64 not on the 386 version [04:11] if I tried debian or gentoo or something? [04:11] I need to edit xorg.conf? [04:11] Aaron_Mason, yep. Ive had no issues in the past.. and now - all sorts of issues. :( === paradon_ is now known as paradon [04:11] maybe the problem is with the ubuntu installer, I'm thinking [04:11] thompa: should make no diff [04:11] By typing "sudo apt-get upgrade php5", will that upgrade my php5?

[04:37] nice [04:37] abhi: yes, 32-bit would be preferable, actually [04:37] abhi: 32 Bit will run on 64 Bit, 64 bit will not run on a ONLY 32-bit enfironment [04:38] tritium: I have 64bit, works great [04:38] tritium: Any specific reason?

[04:38] is there any performance difference [04:38] G__81 back yet? [04:38] abhi: 64bit works better [04:38] Sid1: yes, better flash/java support on 32 bit, for one. [04:38] abhi: And it can ACTUALLY utilise your 4GB of RAM [04:38] tritium: Mine works just fine [04:38] abhi: very little performance gains [04:38] ok [04:39] Actually, 64-bit is only useful if you have 4GB+ of RAM, like I do [04:39] There is no performance difference, actually. [04:39] where do i get the .deb of wine .15? [04:39] Except for large integer calculations. [04:39] abhi: in general, most people choose 32 over 64 for those reasons [04:39] Which happens very rarely. [04:39] can someone tell me how can i check my hardware drivers? [04:39] Some image processing and 3D. [04:39] tritium, : have u compared the java in 64 and 32bit [04:39] The move up to 64-bit is a marketing one. [04:39] Lucroth: are you there ? [04:39] r00723r0: 4GB RAM needs 64-bit [04:39] unstable: k9copy is like dvdshrink [04:39] SliderMan: try typing lspci in term?

[04:42] r00723r0: ^o) [04:42] Linux-Hawk, : how could u say that [04:42] The Core 2 has a very efficient clock cycle compared to most processors. [04:42] Which means it gets more done per Hz. [04:42] can someone help me with this please? [04:42] david_-_-: well, then I don't know the archives only go back to 0.9.36 [04:42] Sid1, i have a 64 cpu, and 4 gb ram,,, had the 64 os,,, now have the 32 os,,, no, none, zero difference in the speed of what i do, only difference is that all my apps dont have to have work-arounds now [04:42] g__81: was up [04:43] the nvidia beta driver works after installation and after reboot it stops working again after i install it it works but after reboot it does not [04:43] SeaPhor: I don't have any workarounds though, even though I have the weirdest hardware configuration [04:43] jim_beam, there is a bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/173418 [04:43] Launchpad bug 173418 in xserver-xorg-video-nv "[Hardy] NVIDIA cards using vesa driver and low screen resolutions on livecd" [Medium,Fix released] [04:43] G__81: use ubuntu-provided nvidia drivers [04:43] SeaPhor, nobody was arguing about a performance increase :) Performances between 32- and 64-bit are highly similar apart from large integer calculations. [04:43] ushimitsudoki: where do i get the .deb for that one? [04:43] tritium, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/173418 [04:43] Lucroth: did you have install the video drivers ? [04:43] SeaPhor, as far as I understand, 64bit only pays dividends on server hardware as it can handle more RAM space [04:43] it does not work its a bug [04:43] i thought ubuntu was suppose to be stpuid friendly, i guess i'm a little too stupid [04:43] david_-_-: you can check out the .deb archives here: http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/ [04:44] Behfar, it isn't yet to the entire user base yet. [04:44] jim_beam, i ve installed the beta driver but after installation it works but after i reboot the same driver does not work [04:44] Behfar, but it's getting close. [04:44] Behfar, what do you need help with? [04:44] jim_beam, it has to do with some modules getting loaded [04:44] No, I haven't installed anything myself, jsut tried running the cd and booting it up and got this problem [04:44] ushimitsudoki: thank you [04:44] abhi: Don't you know that IMHO stands for In my humble opinoin? [04:44] Does Edubuntu install an ICA client by default? [04:44] Linux-Hawk, or "honest".

[04:45] Behfar, so you can log in, right? [04:45] Hi, have any channel for Ubuntu Christian Edition discussions ? [04:45] yes i login then i type startx [04:45] tritium, the fix is to install the beta driver i did install it and it works after installation but after i reboot the system it stops workin [04:45] can someone please tell me where the exit button icon for the Gnome panel is located? [04:45] if u run glxgears what is you fps [04:45] Behfar, that shouldn't happen. [04:46] tritium, the point here to note is the output of lsmod | grep nvidia shows different output before and after reboot [04:46] Behfar: you're supposed to have a graphical login (gdm) [04:46] any ltsp experts in here? ---im hving some issues with pxe [04:46] can you help me? I cannot hear anything at the youtube website [04:46] Behfar, do you have superuser privileges on your computer?

[04:46] Sid1, r00723r0 , nix-newbie , all i was saying was that with the 64 i had to make sure that the hardware and software i was wanting to run was 64, and if not i had to apply a work-around, with 32 now just use the common and i have less issues [04:46] it's red color [04:46] g__81: which ubuntu are u running [04:47] tritium, i couldn't install from livecd so i did it from alternate CD and thats how come i can login from a prompt [04:47] right beside the time [04:47] SeaPhor, yes, it will be vice-versa in a few years. [04:47] jim_beam, 8.04 [04:47] image file? [04:47] Fa: I mean the actual *image* file, as in the .png file [04:47] Behfar, that's wrong. [04:47] g__81: what is the glxgears fps readout [04:47] hello. How can I make Ubuntu 8.04 not to prompt for password after resuming from suspend? [04:47] don't know :P [04:47] Lucroth: looking for on search engine xorg or fstab in the first time.

[04:47] Fa: kthxbye [04:47] !forums [04:47] The Ubuntu forums can be found at http://www.ubuntuforums.org. There is also a channel on IRC Freenode #ubuntuforums. [04:47] SeaPhor, 32-bit will soon be like 16-bit. (remember Windows 3.1?) [04:48] !patience [04:48] The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [04:48] r007234r0, when i install from live i get to a rc.d [OK] then it just hangs up [04:48] r00723r0, by then though we'll be discussing 128 bit stuff and debating that vs 64, lol [04:48] r00723r0: not that soon, 64 bits still cost more to make [04:48] roo7234r0, maybe i am in recovery boot let me restart [04:48] Behfar are you using the regular cd or the alternate install cd? [04:48] SeaPhor, hopefully we'll have a need in the future for exabytes of memory. [04:49] g__81: have u looked at the x config file [04:49] Behfar, it's easier if you just type the first few letters of my name and press tab. [04:49] r00723r0, hey- i still have a win 3.1.1 box, working! [04:49] Is there a Ubuntu TV turner with cablecard support? If there are options is there any consensus on what the best one might be? [04:49] hi, can somebody with experience in other distro give me a help, i'm running fedora but i want a userfriendly distro and i dont know which one, mandriva, kubuntu or ubuntu [04:49] nix-newbie, regular cd didn't work it would just hang on rc.d [OK] so i did the latnerate CD [04:49] SeaPhor, I'm impressed. [04:49] hey all, i've got a SATA burner connected to a SATA to IDE connector on an old PC, it gets detected by the BIOS and automounts fine, but when I come to burn, I get these errors - http://pastebin.ca/1006597 - i'm running Xubuntu 7.10 and dvd+rw-tools 7.07 [04:49] r00723r0; that would be awesome, the internet would be like a holodek [04:50] GothicD3vil, Kubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE included by default and Gnome Not.. YOu can easially install gnome and kde both on a K/Ubuntu system [04:50] amirman84, hopefully by that time computers will be embedded in our skulls and walking will be as easy as pressing a button. [04:50] so i can use ubuntu with kde? [04:50] so is there a way to decorate windows so they look sexier than the ones that come with compiz? [04:50] r00723r0, i loved win 3.1.1 and dos 6.2,,, thats the last good thing M$ has done! === st00p1d_ is now known as st00p1d [04:50] gnome is more stable [04:50] GothicD3vil, yes, it's called KUbuntu. [04:50] GothicD3vil: Kubuntu :) [04:50] r00723r0: but intimate relations will still be the real thing right/ [04:50] Fa, none of this. [04:50] thanks [04:50] how do i get my ip address? [04:50] GothicD3vil, yes you can either install kubuntu-desktop or get kubuntu [04:50] I'm using ubuntu hardy, How do I disable the 'feature' in firefox that if I right click at one angle it 'saves the file link' if I right click at a different angle it opens a new window, etc. [04:50] SeaPhor, absolutely. [04:50] SeaPhor, microsoft didn't do DOS, another company did and nM$ stole it from them === RB2 is now known as RB2_ [04:50] r00723r0, let me start over........ if i do a reboot and it gets to running local boot scripts (/etc/rclocal) [OK] and my screen flashes a few times, then it just sits there...... i can get out of that by CTRL - ALT -F1 then if i STARTX the same thing happens that i told you, no monitors configured [04:51] It seems like mouse gestures plugin, but I don't want it.... [04:51] Aaron_Mason: actually, it was purchased [04:51] thanks for the help [04:51] Has anyone here installed 8.04 without a CD? [04:51] Behfar, what version are you trying to install? [04:51] i did! [04:51] your welcome [04:51] HELP: what's the command for me to execute a driver-file (that i have downloaded from internet) ? [04:51] tritium, they still claim it as their own "innovation" [04:51] r00723r0 it is 8.04 [04:51] thechris: i did [04:51] amirman84, by that time we'll be reproducing robots. [04:51] Hopefully. [04:51] i m new to LINUX world. [04:51] hcyeong, sh ./whatever.run [04:51] hcyeong: it's not modprobe ? [04:51] We already have too many damn people on this earth. [04:51] how do i get my ip? [04:51] Aaron_Mason, True,,, but they did that to every isv before they either bought them or shut them down [04:51] willis: thanks :) [04:51] r00723r0: the future kinda sounds awful when you put it that way [04:51] hcyeong, of course Youmight want to clarify what you are doing exactly - I bet you will have other issues. [04:51] r00723r0 if i ctrl alt f1 i get to a login prompt then i login , if i startx i get NO SCREENS FOUND [04:51] amirman84, sounds awesome to me. [04:52] how do i make rhythmbox open up at a precise location on my desktop? i want to make it start at the top left corner of my desktop every time i run it. [04:52] Behfar, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg === RB2_ is now known as RB2 [04:52] willis: installing the ATI driver. [04:52] Alexman ifconfig [04:52] g__81: this is ati but it suggests somethings to to with whitelist blacklist but u shuld ggogle this http://forlong.blogage.de/article/2007/10/23/fglrx-8423---finally-with-AIGLX-support [04:52] hcyeong: again, use ubuntu-packaged drivers [04:52] r00723r0, i ran that crap 20 times but it never asks me anything about video, only asks me about keyboard and other junk [04:52] hcyeong, the ones in the repos dident work eh? dident try the envyng command eh? [04:52] Behfar, good. [04:52] That's how it should be. [04:52] Behfar, are you running an nvidia card? [04:52] ATI [04:52] Alexman: did you install from windows, or from an image of the CD on a seperate partition? [04:53] anyone see ironman yet [04:53] jim_beam: please stay on topic [04:53] Behfar, I'm not familiar with ATI, but someone in here may be. [04:53] hey guys, I followed the instructions on this page: http://kubasik.net/blog/2008/03/31/sound-problems-in-ubuntu-hardy/ to attempt to fix my sound issues in Hardy but it made my audio crackle a ton. I'm wondering if any of you could assist me in undoing this? [04:53] sorry [04:53] Behfar, ATI doesn't have a great track record with Linux, though. [04:53] amen to that [04:53] In fact, it's a horrible track record, stained with blood and feces. [04:53] r007234r0, is there an easy way to say "start in VGA" [04:53] !offtopic [04:53] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [04:53] the steps were: sudo apt-get install module-assistant; sudo m-a update; sudo m-a prepare; sudo m-a a-i alsa; [04:53] ati and nvidia both have been less then A+ quality. :) [04:53] how would I undo that? [04:53] tritium: no 3D....running GOS is slow. [04:53] I wonder if the computer virus can work using "wine" .Will you tell me? [04:53] Behfar, try nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf [04:54] ok i still have an issue with WINE my font being like 500 in wine..only when i am trying to config it. and its in like triples and quads when i try and install programs...ANY HELP? [04:54] I looked at the module-assistant help and couldn't figure it out [04:54] Dr_willis, nvidia is better at it though [04:54] Behfar, in there, do you have a Device section? [04:54] hcyeong: ubuntu provides fglrx drivers as well [04:54] behfar: i'm a noob but i have an ATI and i got my card to work, what's your problem? [04:54] hcyeong: GOS? What are you referring to? [04:54] nix-newbie, Dr_willis, nVidia has open-sourced kernels. [04:54] not by much mind, but it is better === amidaniel is now known as amidaniel|away [04:54] Behfar: i use pcie radeon and 8.04 great with no extra work and fps over 4000 [04:54] nix-newbie, untill they dont work.. and i see that in here quite a bit. :( [04:54] Can you install and run an OEM XP version in VirtualBox? [04:54] We need to slap both companies around a bit :) [04:54] r00723r0, no i do not have a device section, i went in there and i have a montiro section and screen section but not "device" [04:55] i m going to try...brb. [04:55] Behfar, add one. [04:55] amirman84 if i ctrl alt f1 i get to a login prompt then i login , if i startx i get NO SCREENS FOUND [04:55] r00723r0, are you talking about nuvuoe? thats 3rd party [04:55] nix-newbie, no, I am not. [04:55] r00723r0, what should i put in it? [04:55] Anyone else here install 8.04 without a CD/DVD? [04:55] behfar: sounds like the settings in your xorg.conf file are messed up, could you find it in etc/x11/ and pastebin the results? [04:55] !repeat | thechris [04:55] thechris: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [04:55] thechris, yes, I did via update manager. No issues. [04:56] i installed 8.04 w/o cd [04:56] Behfar, Identifier should be set to whatever you want your card to be called, and Driver should be set to "vesa" until you figure out hardware acceleration for ATI. [04:56] hello [04:56] hey [04:56] Behfar: you've read the wiki page for ATI? [04:56] slow server on first night though [04:56] jim_beam: how? i am having issues wtih /dev/ram [04:56] !ati | Behfar [04:56] Behfar: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [04:56] Behfar, then, under your Screen section, add (or change) the Device field, which should be the same as what you just typed in for your identifier. [04:56] i upgraded to 8.10 . but after restart.. X didn't load .. it shows.. failed to load modules "kdb" [04:57] amirman84, its X11 (capital makes a difference) [04:57] beginwebgui: 8.10 is not released yet [04:57] which version of ubuntu is better 7.10 or 8.04? [04:57] zomg rly [04:57] r00723r0: sometimes the problem isnt the 3D but some iffy stuff in the xorg.conf file that makes the screen not recognized as it should be, sounds like his problem is in the device settings in xorg.conf [04:57] Behfar, for example, if your identifier for your Device is "ATI Card", use "ATI Card" for Device in your Screen section. [04:57] vboyz: hi, how are you :) welcome to the Ubuntu IRC [04:57] thechris: i did upgrade no problems except frozen logout which i fixed [04:57] GothicD3vil: 8.04 is newer. Better is a matter of opinion. [04:57] GothicD3vil: 8.04 is LTS [04:57] amirman84, that's what I'm setting up. [04:57] thanks [04:57] GothicD3vil, depends on how dangerously you like to live, by now 7.10 has settled down, 8.04 still has some bugs to squish [04:57] does anyone know yet on the main problem that the upgrade crashes when upgrading from gutsy to hardy? [04:58] no idea, i did a fresh install [04:58] always do [04:58] Behfar, did I lose you? [04:58] Whitesox2007: I upgraded from gutsy to hardy on amd64 with no problem [04:58] Whitesox2007, I only had one issue with a laptop overheating, the desktops were of no issue. [04:58] Sturmeh, same here [04:58] its a little buggy :) [04:58] i can't fresh install, for some reason hardy doesn't like my hardware. [04:58] hm [04:58] nix-newbie: gusty doesn't support my 8800GT whilst hardy does, it's awesome [04:58] maybe that's what went wrong [04:58] jim_beam: ah, i'm just guessing that they broke that method then. [04:58] it worked fine on one laptop [04:58] *gutsy [04:58] r00723r0: Behfar: for instance i had 3D working once but my resolution was 640x480, i had to change stuff in the xorg.conf file to get it working again [04:58] is there a way i can use different window themes while using compiz? i don't like any of the ones they have under system>preferences>appearance>theme [04:58] use emerald [04:59] how would I make applications open to a set location on my desktop, for example rhythmbox? [04:59] amirman84, we're not worried about 3D. [04:59] Does anyone know why there are no jigdo files for desktop? I assume it's because of the live CD? [04:59] damntourists "sudo apt-get install emerald" [04:59] Sturmeh: that runs a long side compiz? [04:59] Whitesox2007, yup, on my Compaq, it got too hot and I forgot to add extra cooling (frozen bag of peas!) so I had to do a fresh install. [04:59] Sturmeh, you can use emerald, or you can get some themes from online. [04:59] damntourists yes, it complioments it [04:59] i upgraded to 8.10 . but after restart.. X server didn't load .. it shows.. failed to load modules "kdb"... anyone knows the problem.. [04:59] Sturmeh, yeah i know, I had someobdy come with a wubi install, set up a broadcom wireless card without having to hack a thing, it was glorious [04:59] The next version 8.10 can be download at june 13th. [04:59] damntourists, ^^ [04:59] nix-newbie: from what i've heard all the bugs with 8.04 only affect people who've upgraded, i think 8.04 is best for noobs like myself [04:59] damntourists, Sturmeh, you can use emerald, or you can get some themes from online. [04:59] tried it on this laptop and ended up having to reformat. I'll try keeping it in a cooler place during install.... [04:59] ok i still have an issue with my font being like 500 in wine..only when i am trying to config it. and its in like triples and quads when i try and install programs ANY HELP? [04:59] Sturmeh: do you know anywhere i can get some nice themes? [04:59] preferences - appearance - themes .. is NOT compiz [04:59] thanks [04:59] damntourists, Sturmeh, www.gnome-look.org has some good metacity themes. [04:59] drivetrax, yes it is. [04:59] damntourists um gnomelook was it? [04:59] paulcross: not the final release of it [05:00] thechris: i have seen a lot of bugs and updates for the first 4 days were numerous [05:00] damntourists: have you checked gnome-look.org ? [05:00] it is gnome [05:00] r00723r0: thats what i was saying, i dont think his problem is 3D capabilities [05:00] drivetrax, gtk-window-decorator has Compiz features. [05:00] r007234r0, when i try to write the changes to the xorg it says "Can't open file for writing" [05:00] Gary_inNYC: do you want a shortcut ? [05:00] damntourists http://www.gnome-look.org/index.php?xcontentmode=102 [05:00] Behfar, you need "sudo" before that nano. [05:00] I'm sorry. [05:00] r00723r0, in ccsm [05:00] Whitesox2007, I kid you not though, I put a frozen bag of whatever under the laptop if I have to really make it work for something critical. It works wonderfully! [05:00] r00723r0: metacity? will that work even though i'm using compiz? lol, i'm still foggy on the whole ubuntu desktop customization [05:00] Lincooled: i want rhythmbox to always open at the top left corner of my desktop [05:00] What would cause NO network interfaces (Other than loopback) to show up? lspci DOES show my two network drives, and their proper names. But there are no interfaces in "ifconfig -a" [05:00] wow i wasn't expecting so many responses, thanks everyone [05:00] damntourists, it's not quite metacity - it's gtk-window-decorator. But it functions the same as metacity. [05:00] behfar: you have to get privileges to write to xorg.conf [05:00] !network-install [05:00] Factoid network-install not found [05:00] XD, i just got out a sandwich bag to put ice in it [05:00] ok i still have an issue with my font being like 500 in wine..only when i am trying to config it. and its in like triples and quads when i try and install programs ANY HELP? [05:00] CCSM / compiz is in Advanced destop settings [05:01] damntourists, when you have compiz, you cant run metacity, I think... [05:01] damntourists, metacity is a window manager, while gtk-window-decorator is a window decorator. [05:01] !install-network === Alath is now known as DIFTOW [05:01] Factoid install-network not found [05:01] i might switch to peas though [05:01] ok [05:01] damntourists, compiz is a window manager. [05:01] i upgraded to 8.10 . but after restart.. X server didn't load .. it shows.. failed to load modules "kdb"... anyone knows the problem.. [05:01] I personally don't like emerald. [05:01] r00723r0: so the graphics on the title bar, buttons, etc, have nothing to do with compiz? [05:01] behfar: if you want to make changes to it open it from your terminal with "gksudo gedit /etc/x11/xorg.conf"' [05:01] r00723r0, or he could try gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? [05:01] me either [05:01] anyone know the "install from network" !cmd [05:01] web [05:01] damntourists, not directly. [05:01] Whitesox2007, or a nice soup.....after you are done installing you will have a nicely heated meal! [05:01] you're like alot of people [05:01] SeaPhor, he doesn't have any X environment. [05:01] r00723r0: thanks, that helps... i'll check out emerald too [05:01] i do have a fix though, too bad i didn't get it before i reformatted [05:02] Lincooled: it's annoying because i keep using super+numpad to put rhythmbox back where i want it when it should start where I last left it when it was closed [05:02] damntourists, many themes are available for emerald as well on www.gnome-look.org. [05:02] r00723r0, none? wow [05:02] SeaPhor, none. [05:02] Which is why we're doing this. [05:02] I have a quick question :O [05:02] try reseting x to vesa so you can get your desktop back [05:02] DIFTOW, don't ask to ask, just ask. [05:02] thanks r00723r0 :) [05:02] damntourists, i already tried, youll have to go hunt down all your themes manually I didnt get any preinstalled ones, kinda sucked [05:02] Whitesox2007, I agree 100%. It is a very big pain. My Compaq runs so hot its serves double duty as a space heater. [05:02] yeah damntourists compiz is a DWM and emerald is a DECORATOR, it goes well together enjoy [05:02] damntourists, :) [05:02] yes i know i have the same problem with my text editor [05:02] ok i still have an issue with my font being like 500 in wine..only when i am trying to config it. and its in like triples and quads when i try and install programs ANY HELP? [05:02] How do I compile source code? I want to run the FSN clone "FSV". [05:02] thechris: actually 8.04 LTS was more buggy than microsoft [05:02] r00723r0, ok,,, what card does he have? [05:02] how would you do that sc006? [05:03] just incse the worst? XD [05:03] SeaPhor, some ATI card. [05:03] Which is prone to disaster in Linux. [05:03] Is there a compatible Ubuntu/Linux TV turner with cablecard support? If there are options is there any consensus on what the best one might be? [05:03] Behfar, you still around? [05:03] nix-newbie: that's ok, i like it better that way... i'm not a huge fan of pre made themes, i like putting together my own little elements [05:03] Lincooled: i saw there was a "Place" plugin in compiz fusion settings, but it doesn't seem to work for me [05:03] tritium, you should ban by nickname instead of host. [05:03] CSHARPER2: there is only one cablecard device in existence period (afaik) and no its not linux compatible [05:03] i have a doubt [05:03] r00723r0: no [05:03] regarding [05:03] dispaly [05:03] r00723r0, i hate ATI, cou;d give volumes of stories as to why [05:03] tritium, he should be able to come back with a different nick. If it's offensive again then ban by host. [05:03] any one can help me [05:03] i am using [05:03] SeaPhor, ATI isn't the best, and AMD hasn't helped much. [05:03] Lincooled: or at least I don't know exactly how to use it for rhythmbox [05:03] 8500 [05:03] i will try that [05:03] r00723r0: please don't tell us how to do our job. We've been doing it a long time. [05:03] isnt there like... an apt-get install emerald-themes or something? [05:04] CSHARPER2: its the ATI one that you have to buy with a new Windows Media Center machine [05:04] seaphor: i used to hate that my ATI didnt work well with any linux but now it works miracles for me [05:04] tritium, I am not; I'm merely suggesting. [05:04] DIFTOW, the easy version - settle all dependancies and then enter a terminal and navigate to the sourcode directory and run the following: "./configure" "make" "sudo make install" [05:04] tritium, it's a humble suggestion. [05:04] i love my ati =p [05:04] !etiquette > vboyz [05:04] how can i be SuperUser?? i need to install driver in terminal window [05:04] CSHARPER2: the cablecard company (forgot who) apparently will not license it to be allowed to be sold outside of the special media center pc [05:04] i love my ati to [05:04] hcyeong, you have a few ways of doing that. [05:04] Calc: Ok, that was the only one I could find searching. [05:04] hcyeong, sudo [05:05] hcyeong, through graphics, you'll want gksu [05:05] If you're in a terminal, use sudo. [05:05] Whitesox2007, I agree! My ATI gives me way less problems then my Broadcom wireless!!!!! [05:05] gregbrady, heh. [05:05] CSHARPER2: yea i think that is the only one available [05:05] Gary_inNYC: in compiz fusion manager --> place window --> fixed window placement ? [05:06] r007: sudo ?? [05:06] hcyeong, sudo . [05:06] Lincooled: exactly that [05:06] hcyeong, that runs it as superuser. [05:06] it doesn't work for you ? [05:06] thing is.. "if" they got the pre-release drivers, then why didn't 8.4 driver work when they said it would work.. in my Gutsy? [05:06] just type sudo? [05:06] hcyeong, but if the application is windowed, use gksu . [05:06] CSHARPER2: looks like you can find them on ebay though, so if you want to write a driver ;-) [05:06] hcyeong, no, the command goes after sudo. [05:06] r00723r0, if you need, i am also in #SeaPhor [05:06] DIFTOW, i cant pm, not registered, lets stick to the open forum [05:06] Thanks. [05:06] sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [05:06] hceyeong: if your using terminal to open a graphical app you should use gksudo instead of sudo [05:06] And.. where are the previous drivers.. for linux and ATI [05:06] Lincooled: it either doesn't work for me, or I don't know how to use it [05:07] ah, thank you === ubuntu is now known as Styles [05:07] Hey [05:07] ok nix [05:07] You got my messages [05:07] select vesa [05:07] I can't get Ubuntu to install on my comp. Can somebody possibly help ? [05:07] vesa fail [05:07] :( [05:07] sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [05:07] Styles, insert the CD. [05:07] whats wrong Styles [05:07] calc: I guess the only thing to do is waste years on a lawsuit so the cable companies will comply with the law :) [05:07] LOL [05:07] oh good one r00723r0 [05:07] ur killing me [05:07] the slackware way [05:07] Lincooled: does it work for you? [05:07] Well, I'm getting to the partition part and it saids it can't resize the disc. [05:08] hello. How can I make Ubuntu 8.04 not to prompt for password after resuming from suspend? [05:08] DIFTOW, easier for you to just google for it [05:08] google for what? [05:08] styles: you should defrag your windows drive before messing with partitions [05:08] CSHARPER2: which law would that be? [05:08] Styles, what are you trying to resize? [05:08] Gary_inNYC: i'm searching when i can use it :) lol [05:08] defrag 3 times, even if it doesn't need it [05:08] Question: I keep seeing kernal messages of: /build/buildd/linux-2.6.24/dirvers/hid/usbhid/hid-core.c: event file not found - any ideas? [05:08] DIFTOW, google for a howto on compiling from source code on linux [05:08] Nothing. I'm trying to partion the drive to allow [05:08] anyone ever try this theme? http://PhrA0k.deviantart.com/art/deviant-emerald-theme-69461310 i dunno if it'll work if i try to install it lol [05:08] CSHARPER2: i'm pretty sure they aren't violating any law by requiring the hardware that uses cablecards to be unhackable, there are already laws about cable theft as well [05:08] r007: sudo ...then follow with what command?? i just want to execute ****.run === johnmike is now known as John-Mike [05:09] Styles, perhaps you should manually resize the partitions. [05:09] google isnt that good [05:09] what is your specific problem, sorry didn't see the beginning thread [05:09] having bigtime problem with screen flickering with xubuntu 8.04 [05:09] hcyeong, sudo ****.run. [05:09] hcyeong, that is, if the .run file is executable. [05:09] ah, nothing really [05:09] styles: are you setting up a dualboot with windows? [05:09] CSHARPER2: making it not available for sell outside of media center pc's keeps the likelyhood of it getting hacked pretty low [05:09] hcyeong, chmod +x whatever.run befor you try to execute it. :) [05:09] r007, Its a ~160 gig drive it only has 27.5 gigs avbialbe. [05:09] Yes I'm trying too. [05:09] calc: There are FCC regulations that require the cable companies to allow third party devices access to their programming. [05:09] Lincooled: it'd be awesome if i don't have to move windows as often hehe [05:09] hey anbody [05:09] just came in to see an update, sc006, i'm just hangin' around for now while i can [05:09] hcyeong, extensions don't say anything about the type of file. [05:09] can help me [05:09] damntourists, that's an emerald theme, just install emerald and import it [05:09] Could that be an issue? [05:09] styles: did you defrag your windows drive? [05:09] Styles, it's probably all partitioned. [05:09] navjeet, - are you in FireFox? [05:09] ok [05:09] Sturmeh: ok i'll try [05:09] Styles, which is why Ubuntu need to repartition. [05:09] No, its not partitioned at all. [05:09] CSHARPER2: thats what cablecard is for..... [05:10] damntourists, "sudo apt-get install emerald" [05:10] Styles, you said only 27.5 gigs available... [05:10] yeah haha [05:10] ive got like.. 12321 things on there. [05:10] That means it's partitioned. [05:10] hi, [05:10] styles: my ubuntu is running on a 25 GB partition, no problems at all [05:10] Even if it has only one partition. [05:10] calc: but does not allow it, if it is not possible to use it. [05:10] i do have firfox, but the problem is there without that running also [05:10] Styles: vista or xp with ubuntu [05:10] damntourists, then press ALT+F2 and type "emerald --replace" once it's intalled [05:10] Sturmeh: ok [05:10] Hello, I'm VERY pleased with ubuntu 8.04... it rocks... one thing though... is it possible to convert Windows General Midi to a Timidity patch for Ubuntu? [05:10] hmm [05:10] I've never defraged the drive [05:10] Sturmeh: will it always replace after that? [05:10] DIFTOW, http://howto.wired.com/wiki/Compile_Software_from_Source_Code [05:10] CSHARPER2: just under linux, i doubt you will get far with any lawsuit :) [05:10] I'm going to over night. [05:10] is this the same ubuntu # as the one on irc.ubuntu [05:10] ? [05:10] damntourists, you can import the theme from ur desktop or w/e from the emerald manager [05:10] Could that possibly solve it? [05:11] navjeet, - we cannot guess... what you have there, tell what vid card, and monitor, and version of Linux.. [05:11] damntourists, yes aslong as you load compiz, it will load emerald too [05:11] though you cant start x [05:11] What's your problem again Styles? [05:11] Styles, yes. BTW: please highlight me if you're talking to me; I can't filter through this noise easily. [05:11] Sturmeh: awesome, thank you it's working now [05:11] CSHARPER2: i'm pretty sure the open access stuff wrt cablecard was written such that the stuff using it has to be 'approved' [05:11] Styles, type the first few letters of my name and press tab. [05:11] r007 sorry [05:11] hi everybody [05:11] damntourists, enjoy lol [05:11] anyone here good with wine? im trying to run Steam on wine 0.9.61 and when i try to test my mic in wine, steam freezes and i get this output: http://pastebin.ca/1006644 [05:11] javaTN: obviously it's not, since we are on freenode [05:11] styles: you HAVE TO defrag the drive before resizing any partitions, that most probably is the problem, you could have totally Fed your drive up [05:11] r00723r0, sorry [05:11] hi, anyone could help me out? [05:11] Styles, :) It's no problem. [05:11] Is it possible to convert Windows General Midi to a Timidity patch for Ubuntu? [05:11] werther, problem?

[05:19] Styles: Ive always been a fan of amaroK, it is the hottest thing since sliced bread I think [05:19] r00723r0, I love how easy it is to find good quality applications :) [05:19] vboyz which codec are the videos encoded with? [05:19] Styles, aye :) [05:19] nix-newbie, what is AmaorK [05:19] Styles, there are plenty more. [05:19] MP2E Is free pats a soundfont or something? [05:19] r00723r0, o.0 [05:20] kodmaster do you use wirless comms? [05:20] eww i hate amarok, its just too KDE fullish... im a gnome rawker! [05:20] Sturmeh:divx riped [05:20] thomas_ exaile ftw [05:20] Sturmeh, yep! [05:20] kodmaster, what type of network...wireless, wired? What card? [05:20] !amarok > Styles [05:20] Sturmeh:Divx riped [05:20] styles: exaile is amarok for Gnome, i wouldnt recommend installing amarok unless you're using Kubuntu [05:20] vboyz have you installed the "ubuntu-restricted-extras" yet? [05:20] sturmeh: no ethernet wired built into k8u-x [05:20] OzFalcon - Yes... it's just the instruments that allow linux to play midi. But they don't sound anywhere near Windows MIDI output [05:20] Styles: amaroK is the audio player for KDE, look it up (note: you have to download the kde libraries for it to work) [05:20] r00723r0, whowould you talk to, to add another program? [05:20] amirman84: exaile is a really bad rip off of amarok for gnome* [05:20] Styles, ..? [05:20] nix-newbie, ahhh [05:20] kodmaster does your network have any protections such as mac or ip filtering? [05:20] thank you... now for a more tricky one. I'm running dualboot vista/ubuntu, and have my main documents on an ntfs partition, that I have to manually mount everytime I start ubuntu. Is there a way to automatically mount the partition when ubuntu starts? [05:20] sudo rm "the file" [05:20] r00723r0, to the big Add/Remove Applications thing :P [05:21] hydrogen: where does it fail? [05:21] Styles, who would I talk to? [05:21] when i try to open gnome-session-properties i get "could not connect to the session manager" [05:21] temagic i belive that's a bug with hardy, it should automount like it did in gutsy [05:21] r00723r0, I'm going to get a shit load of stuff wrong, Ive played with Ubuntu for all of a few hours [05:21] MP2e yeah, I was playing some midi files, And they sound pretty bad. [05:21] r00723r0, yeah.. Because they should really add QNext [05:21] sturmeh: no, i can't get any signal lights on back of motherboard saying it is even connected, or even any on the router [05:21] !divx [05:21] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [05:21] Sturmeh: ok, I'll wait for an update then. thanks [05:21] Styles, I'm completely lost. [05:21] Sturmeh: can i chat with you personlay [05:21] temagic if you find a solution please inform me, i have the same problem [05:21] temagic: you might want to do a quick google lookup but i think you have to add "auto" to part of your fstab file in /etc [05:21] hydrogen: people say openoffice.org is better than gnome office but i think that is a load and a half [05:21] vboyz pm me [05:21] r00723r0, Okay, You know under applications? Add or Remove. There is a big list you can search for things. [05:22] Styles, yes? [05:22] Sturmeh : ok...thanks [05:22] hello - I have just upgraded my motherboard and processor; I previously had Ubuntu installed on a SATA harddisk and I believed it booted using grub from an IDE harddisk; however I've dumped the IDE harddisk. How do I make the SATA harddisk boot? [05:22] nix-newbie: that was greek to me:) [05:22] r00723r0, where do they come from? How would you add a program to that crazy list. [05:22] Styles, ahh! [05:22] VOTE: what is everyones favorite terminal app? im a gnome-console fan-boy... its simple, but i also like xterm. [05:22] r00723r0, yeah hahaha [05:22] Styles, those programs are from a repository. [05:22] Styles, you'd want to talk to upstream. [05:22] vboyz you registered your nick name on this irc server yet? [05:22] r00723r0, ooo Only open source? [05:22] sturmeh: no, i can't get any signal lights on back of motherboard saying it is even connected, or even any on the router [05:22] I have a vncserver connection.. its a blank gray screen with a single terminal on it.. I would like to start Gnome [05:22] Styles, yes, in free and universe. [05:22] Which are repos. [05:22] MP2E, I have tried qsynth - (fluidsynth frontent), But couldnt get it to work. (fluidsynth has two different sound fonts available to use) [05:22] not sure then kodmaster, my ethernet cabled works ootb for hardy even [05:23] r00723r0, Ahh okay so then this program doesn't belong its not open source ;) [05:23] temagic: go to a terminal and type in "sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.old" [05:23] Styles, I'm sorry, free and restricted. [05:23] styles: you can enable 3rd party repositories in software sources under administration [05:23] OzFalcon - What is it? [05:23] the conversion in here is so intellectual its so amusing. [05:23] nix-newbie i need to know this :P [05:23] amirman84: disclaim: I am obviously biased based on my afiliations.. but it seems clear to me that if an application is created with the primary goal of "copying that other application" then it never will be as good, as its always playing catchup [05:23] OzFalcon - just another sound patch? [05:23] amirman84, is it recommened? [05:23] Styles, universe and multiverse are closed-source AFAIK. [05:23] temagic: next, type in "sudo nano /etc/fstab" [05:23] r00723r0, o.0 [05:23] Styles, but a lot of great applications are there. [05:23] nix-newbie pm [05:23] Styles, a LOT. Including games. [05:23] r00723r0, last thing, Can I defrag the hard drive while I'm running Linux? Or do I have to have Windows *GAH* [05:24] k [05:24] Sturmeh: I cant pm, not registered [05:24] Styles, you won't need to defrag a Linux drive. [05:24] nix-newbie: ok.... [05:24] yo too nix-newbie? [05:24] MP2E, It's a player as far as I can tell. Like timidity I guess. (But timidity plays very poorly - ie do anything on the machine and it kills the audio smoothness) [05:24] :( [05:24] when i try to open gnome-session-properties i get "could not connect to the session manager", what should i do [05:24] Styl,es the last thing u want is to do anything on windows. thats a recipe for disaster! [05:24] r00723r0, I know but I have to before I install it. Ubuntu was getting mad at partioning it. [05:24] can you repartition and install grub on a linux harddisk though? [05:24] r00723r0, and I butchered the word haha [05:24] Styles, I don't remember if there are any defragging programs in Linux. [05:24] ya kno.. I have a drive with 98 on it.. thinking, triple boot [05:24] For NTFS/FAT. [05:24] hydrogen: i didn't think of it as an application trying to copy another but as an application copying the features of another, i guess that sounds like very little difference but it also means they can copy some features but still be different and independent [05:24] Styles EXT3 is superior to NTFS, it does not need defragmenting. [05:24] Styles, it would be best to use the Windows defrag anyways. [05:25] Sturmeh, it does, but not nearly as much. [05:25] hehe ofcause [05:25] amirman84: except it isn't [05:25] * AprilHare ponders his boot problem [05:25] excuse me for exaggerating [05:25] which boot problem AprilHare [05:25] r00723r0, okay [05:25] temagic: once you have fstab open, look for the line about your ntfs partition [05:25] anyone else notice that when you fill in a workgroup name in manual network configuration, sudo ceases to work, and gives a "cannot resolve host" error? [05:25] "Exaile is a music player aiming to be similar to KDE's Amarok, but for GTK+ and written in Python" [05:25] Sturmeh, I'm using NTFS right now, I don't want to reformat will this be an issue? [05:25] styles: its one of the first things i did, all those apps are safe, they are still checked by ubuntu [05:25] hydrogen, I love Python and GTK+. [05:25] hydrogen exaile pwnz * [05:25] na.. it would be best to slap that drive back and piece together that machine, and network it into Ubuntu [05:25] Sturmeh, upgraded my motherboard and processor. dumped my ide harddisk, left the sata harddisk with ubuntu. but ubuntu won't boot. [05:26] amirman84, okay :D [05:26] hydrogen: key word: similar [05:26] Styles ubuntu needs to be installed onto EXT3, so space must be made for it. [05:26] No. [05:26] AprilHare you need to reinstall grub to the bootloader [05:26] Sturmeh, I don't understand is EXT3 A file format? (NTFS ect..) [05:26] Ubuntu can be installed on more than EXT3. [05:26] amirman84: -:> where similar ends up being all the same functionality with a much clunkier ui [05:26] Styles, EXT3 is a partition format. [05:26] temagic: in the fourth column from the left, add ",auto" (note the comma) to the end of whatever is there [05:26] r00723r0, Okay. [05:26] nix-newbie: how can I identity which line it is? in "my computer" the name of the drive is "Fredrik" - in fstab there is no "Fredrik" [05:26] brb [05:26] r00723r0, Can Windows run this too? [05:26] does any body rtm or google lol [05:27] Sturmeh, i can boot off a ubuntu cd i have here - how do I install grub? [05:27] http://www.exaile.org/screenshots/7/exaile_large.jpg is missing all of the polish that made amarok work [05:27] Styles, Windows only runs NTFS or FAT. [05:27] hydrogen: i don't know where you're getting "clunky" from [05:27] r00723r0, hahahah retard windows.. Okay [05:27] AprilHare one sec [05:27] Styles, Linux can be run off of NTFS AFAIK. [05:27] r00723r0, Humm and Ubuntu should have no problems with sata drives right? [05:27] AprilHare i take you have already changed the boot order to boot off your SATA hdd, correct? [05:27] Vista can read ext [05:27] Styles, none. [05:27] but, as I said, I'm biased [05:27] r00723r0, Unbutu too? Or no. [05:27] vboyz: do you actually see the video, but it looks bad? [05:27] Should not have any problems. [05:27] temagic: /etc is a directory on your hard disk [05:27] Styles, but, there will be a problem or two, of rouce. [05:27] Sturmeh, my mobo took care of that automagically [05:27] drivetrax you need a driver first, EX2 IFS works [05:27] *course [05:27] Anyone here into building embedded systems? [05:28] yes [05:28] AprilHare so it's giving you what error? [05:28] I'm also using amarok2 full time, so I'm even more biased :) [05:28] quentusrex, its something I'm interested in [05:28] styles: ext3 is a file system, its how the files are stored and read from the hard drive, windows xp and vista use NTFS as a filesystem [05:28] Sturmeh, none. it just goes on forever [05:28] Sturmeh: how are you doing on this so far? [05:28] amirman84, Why dont they use ext3? [05:28] ??ext3 [05:28] r00723r0, Should I just reformat completely and start over? [05:28] Styles, if you want... I don't know your motives. [05:28] styles: why are you reformatting? [05:28] Sturmeh, although i didn't test it forever i could wait for an error :) [05:28] I think, winders should use.. cause they do support osx [05:29] amirman84, to dual boot windows / ubuntu [05:29] I'm looking for recommendations on irc channels, websites, and other embedded systems communities. [05:29] r00723r0, hehe tru haha [05:29] Sturmeh: from where codecs are avilable [05:29] nix-newbie: when I go to places, computer, I have a cd-rom, a drive named "Vista" a drive named "Fredrik" and a "File System"... I want to automount the "Fredrik" [05:29] AprilHare http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351&highlight=grub <-- try that? [05:29] What port do you have to open up for the ubuntu remote desktop feature? [05:29] Sturmeh, i'll mosey on down and have a look [05:29] temagic: so you are in fstab right now? [05:29] yes [05:29] vboyz: Sturmeh: from where codecs are avilable ?? [05:29] vboyz i'm not sure why it's low quality, but it' seems to be working [05:30] vboyz maybe it's your graphics drivers [05:30] amirman84, Okay thanks I'm off! [05:30] !divx > vboyz [05:30] r00723r0, Thank You! Ill be back tomorrow! [05:30] !divx [05:30] Thank You All! [05:30] styles: you should just defrag your windows, and resize the partitions, i use ubuntu on a 25 GB partition, with ubuntu you can still access all your files on your windows partition (like movies, music and all that) so you don't need so much space [05:30] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [05:30] Styles, :) [05:30] amidaniel|away, Okay [05:30] nix-newbie: yes, using nano [05:30] there vboyz [05:30] vboyz: check the message from ubottu please [05:30] amirman84, The thing is, I don't know why I only have this much space I should have like 50 gigs lol or so I though.. [05:30] temagic: ok look for a line with something along the lines of /mount/Fredrik or /mediaFredrik [05:31] MP2E [05:31] nix-newbie: no such thing [05:31] I have a Gnome running already.. this vncserver connection to X11 is a 2nd connection.. the OReilly book on learning Debian starts by saying things about copying/modifying my /etc/X11 session info.. I dont want to screw that up [05:31] does anyone know how to update to Firefox nightly build? [05:31] MP2E if you get fluidsynth working, Let me know [05:31] styles: if you bought your computer from DELL or another big company, they put a lot of their own stuff on your drive in different partitions, maybe thats what it is....?? [05:31] Styles you are using "unallocated space" to install ubuntu, not windows "free space" [05:31] nix-newbie: there's a media/cd-rom [05:31] temagic: ok then we will ad a new line [05:31] meanwhile - the wxWidgets things are launching fine.. which makes X11 useful enough to move forward [05:31] anyone know how to get a built in cam to work... using a sony vaio laptop not sure what model [05:31] no one tried to answer my question [05:31] anyway [05:32] insomnia, try to install cheese [05:32] Sturmeh, I don't know. I just have a normal drive. No partions. I'm trying to allow ubuntu to create one to install [05:32] amirman84, no I built it. I'm using this as a server for home. [05:32] temagic: first we need to look up what partition windows is on, go to a new terminal and type in "fdisk -l" [05:32] hint- dont format your CD-Rom.. you will be waiting a very long time [05:32] alex_mayorga: what exactly does that do? [05:32] nix-newbie: fdisk - l did nothing... [05:33] insomnia_: it's a little program to take pictures with the built in camera on your laptop [05:33] styles: you will want to check that out, one thing i would recommend is going to your terminal and typing "man fdisk" and figure out how to use that to see whats going on [05:33] temagic: crap, hold on a sec then [05:33] Hey, how do I get MIDI support? [05:33] amirman84, okay [05:33] greetings ubuntu friends [05:33] I want to be able to play MIDI files. [05:33] hello all, new help with a cordless tablet that i just bought, i'm using ubuntu 8.04, on the box it says vista and mac..do u think it can work on ubuntu? [05:33] amidaniel|away, Yeah Ill read the manual :) [05:33] drivetrax: where do i save trident.h file, there are 3 of those on the current system [05:34] found it... "Fredrik" is /dev/sda5 [05:34] ll; [05:34] temagic: do you have gparted? [05:34] nix-newbie: found it. "Fredrik" is /dev/sda5 [05:34] amirman84, wow this gives you really technical information haha [05:34] insomnia_: you can learn more at http://www.gnome.org/projects/cheese [05:34] styles: "fdisk -l" will give you detailed info on your partitions [05:34] amirman84, okay [05:34] nix-newbie: not sure if I have gparted [05:34] alex_mayorga: anything to take videos? [05:35] temagic: disregard the thong on gparted [05:35] amirman84, Thanks yeah it doesn't work haha I think becaues I'm running off the CD :P [05:35] thing* [05:35] freudian slip :P [05:35] is there a command to find all mountable drives on a system [05:35] nix-newbie: tried it. it was the same as I was running:) [05:35] like shows what /dev/ they are? [05:35] Styles just be careful and backup all ur data. [05:35] insomnia_: cheese does video too [05:35] Jack3, yes [05:35] Jack3: try fdisk -l [05:35] alex_mayorga: cool thanks alot :D [05:35] How do i completely remove xubuntu?? [05:35] styles: yeah, its trying to read the partitions on the cd :) [05:35] hello [05:35] i just upgraded to 8.04 and found that the mythtv-frontend package is incompatible with the mythtv-backend package im running on a separate machine. How can i downgrade mythtv-frontend package? [05:36] i've had 8.04 since the release date and still no updates. is that normal? back with gutsy we had updates almost daily [05:36] Sturmeh, Theres nothign I would kill myself over on here. Just make me very annoyed. Most stuff thats worth anything has been eathier released or.. on another drive already. [05:36] k so my title bars on my windows dissapeared, anyone have any suggestions? [05:36] nix-newbie can u link me to automount instructions? [05:36] is there anyone using a netcomm rave III USB modem with Ubuntu ? [05:36] can a hardware that says vista on the box work on ubuntu 8.04? [05:36] llin-ubuntu: i've had updates a few times, a big one last night [05:36] insomnia_: it's fairly new stuff, so YMMV [05:36] Styles is reformatting the whole drive feasible then? [05:36] amirman84, last thing then I have to go, how does well does Ubuntu work leaving it on all the time? [05:36] ChatterboX_, totally depends on the hardware. and if it has linux support. [05:36] sudo fdisk -l [05:36] Sturmeh, Yes if defraging doesn't work. [05:36] bah... so my problem with the livecd has been isolated so far to I can run the livecd once... and everytime thereafter... it dumps me to the initramfs prompt [05:36] temagic: now we need to make a folder to mount your windows partition to [05:36] styles: amazingly [05:36] i haven't had any at all [05:36] Styles just backup, defrag and resize the partition [05:37] amirman84, Thats my whole thing [05:37] has anybory installed hardy in a notebook hp? [05:37] nix-newbie: ok... [05:37] in the worst case scenario, you have lost data you backed up [05:37] It worked once for amd64 and once for i386 [05:37] Sturmeh, Okay by resize you mean let Ubuntu do it right on startup? [05:37] um, yes [05:37] Sturmeh, Becaue I don't know how manually haha [05:37] kk [05:37] does anyone know if the livecd stores anything to hardware? [05:37] Im going to go thanks guys [05:37] I do it manually because i use a fresh hdd [05:37] temagic: type into a new prompt "sudo mkdir /media/windows" [05:37] Dr_willis so how do i know if it has linux support, it never said that on the box [05:37] sc006: thanks... the sudo thing did it [05:37] lvzimmer: I've had [05:38] styles: if your using ubuntu as a server type thing that you dont want to get on all the time, you'll want to set it up to update automatically without asking in SOFTWARE SOURCES [05:38] yeppers [05:38] I really really need nelp ... i screwed up xorg.conf and I can only use a tiny portion of my monitor now ... i can only see the top third of my screen [05:38] ChatterboX_, google and the internet is our friend. Its a rare bit of hardware that will actually state linux on a box. [05:38] i can't even see what i'm typing [05:38] peace styles [05:38] drivetrax: r u there? [05:38] nix-newbie: done [05:38] the top half of my screen is garbage [05:38] alex_mayorga: did have any problem? [05:38] and i'm in low resulution mode [05:38] alex_mayorga: sorry to bother again, but cheese is really laggy on my computer.. and doesnt display anything.. it just gives me a distorted fuz in the vid/pic window [05:38] ChatterboX_: if it works, then it has support :) [05:38] Dr_willis i dont know how to install drivers from a cd [05:38] alex_mayorga: now completely froze [05:39] temagic: now go back to fstab, and enter the following: /dev/sda5 /media/windows ntfs user,auto 0 0 [05:39] lvzimmer: not really, but they have dozens of models [05:39] alex_mayorga: what do u mean? [05:39] is there a way to force ubuntu to redect my monitor / video card? [05:39] kassah-lappy, to answer your question, yes, someone knows if the livecd will store to your hard drive. The answer to what you really meant however is only if you choose to write something to the drive. It can easily be used without making changes to the hardware [05:39] Sturmeh: it all video files are working for me....but..all are poor quality....but....that files works better in my windows....i dont know what is the problem with linux [05:39] !X [05:39] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto [05:39] cmw72: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [05:39] vboyz video card drivers? [05:39] sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [05:39] brent113: so nothing automatically writes to the hardware? [05:39] Sturmeh: have 8500 GT [05:40] kassah-lappy, that is correct [05:40] nix-newbie: I can call the folder Data or Fredrik instead of windows, and just substitute "windows" for Data or Fredrik in fstab? [05:40] alex_mayorga: I tied the beta but I couldn't pass from step 3/7, it restart x server... [05:40] Sturmeh: i think the driver automatically detected by ubuntu [05:40] What is the easiest to setup and use virtual machine manager? [05:40] temagic: slight adjustment, put in user,auto,noexec [05:40] Sturmeh: is it correct [05:40] oh what the hell, my important security updates were checked off... no wonder I wasn't getting updates [05:40] lvzimmer, got nVidia card by any chance? [05:40] vboyz you using restricted drivers? [05:40] gregbrady: VirtualBox [05:40] hit alt-ctrl-f1 [05:40] login [05:41] Sturmeh: restricted drivers? that means [05:41] alex_mayorga: yes, nvidia [05:41] vboyz it means drivers written by vendors [05:41] temagic: you have to name the folder whatever folder name you created in /media, i just use "windows" for convenience [05:41] insomnia_: sorry to hear that [05:41] Sturmeh: i am new to linux [05:41] vboyz what card do you have?

[06:11] !binary [06:11] Factoid binary not found [06:11] !bin [06:11] Factoid bin not found [06:11] cirkit: are u there [06:11] ?? [06:11] anyone? [06:11] con-man: what do you mean? [06:11] vboyz: if this your first time with linux, then let me make a few suggestions to you, first google and ubuntuforums.org are two great places to look for help, secondly the learning curve gets easier as you go [06:11] I have GoogleEarthLinux.bin and I want to install it [06:11] con-man: gotchya [06:12] con-man: go to the terminal [06:12] con-man: cd to that directory [06:12] ChatterboX_ ask any question or problem you face here on the channel, it should work all pretty much the same [06:12] ok [06:12] cirkit: are u there [06:12] cirkit: ?? [06:12] con-man: and simply type "sh GoogleEarthLinux.bin" [06:12] con-man: without the quotes [06:12] vboyz: what was your problem? [06:12] ravi: thanks! it worked! [06:12] alex_mayorga whats the first move, i have the driver cd? [06:13] he might have to make it executable [06:13] bah.. can't get my question answered so I might as well help others [06:13] sc006: apparently not, it worked [06:13] Deepthought, when i save ... it does not over write xorg.conf [06:13] vboyz: please type "locate xorg.conf" and then open the xorg.conf file with your favorite editor like "nano /path/to/xorg.conf" without the quotes ... make sure you see the nvidia module loaded in there ... look for the driver line --> Driver "nvidia" [06:13] ChatterboX_ put it aside, that's for windows :) only [06:13] yep [06:13] Deepthought, the file date remains unchanged [06:13] even though i have chmodded it to 777 [06:13] as well as xorg.conf.backup [06:13] Hi All [06:13] sometimes you do have to [06:13] con-man: yeah - normally you need to make an executable actually allow it to execute by doing "chmod +x nameofexec" [06:14] cirkit:/etc/X11/xorg.conf [06:14] /usr/share/displayconfig-gtk/xorg.conf.fallback [06:14] /usr/share/man/man5/xorg.conf.5.gz [06:14] /var/lib/x11/xorg.conf.md5sum [06:14] /var/lib/x11/xorg.conf.roster [06:14] vboyz: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:14] hey all, im out [06:14] vboyz: if that is there, re-install the nvidia package from Administration [06:14] cirkit: why don't you just make him install envy and auto install? [06:14] cmw72: like I said, it shouldn' t matter, you should get tje new settings after restart x anyway; by the way to restart x easiest is to do ctrl-alt-backspace, that get's you right back to login [06:14] cirkit: it's the easiest path [06:14] cirkit: especially for a beginner [06:14] cirkit, gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [06:14] ravi: sure ... either way [06:15] is there a fix yet for xorg not detecting displays correctly? [06:15] Deepthought, but when i try that ... none of the settings i changed in nvidia-settings stick [06:15] Can someone help my with installing FSV. A clone of FSN used in SGI's IRIX 4.1? http://fsv.sourceforge.net/ [06:15] cirkit: yeah, I'm sure point-and-click will be easier for him [06:15] If so, come to #moomoo [06:15] alex_mayorga ok then, now what? [06:15] cirkit it even in synaptic [06:15] cirkit: yeah, package name envy-ng I believe [06:15] ChatterboX_ open a terminal [06:15] !terminal [06:15] 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 [06:15] sc006: i know this ... do we even know if he installed the *correct* nvidia package? [06:15] alex_mayorga yeah done [06:15] Section "Device" [06:15] Identifier "Configured Video Device" [06:15] Boardname "NVIDIA GeForce 8 Series" [06:15] Busid "PCI:1:0:0" [06:15] Driver "nvidia" [06:15] Screen 0 [06:15] vboyz: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:16] cirkit: envy will handle that automatically [06:16] who knows [06:16] Screen 0 [06:16] I want to make a gksudo launcher... So I can drag-and-drop applications to it and it will run... right now, I have "gksudo %U" and it doesn't work when I drag nautilus to it. What should I put for command? [06:16] vboyz: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:16] cmw72: ok, the start it from the terminal, that's what I always do (I like my backups in order too): start terminal and type sudo nvidia-settings, give your user password and then make your settings; choose when saving to not merge with existing file, this way you get a fresh config; next time leave merge on [06:16] anyone know where i can download murrine? the main website is down [06:16] vboyz: in your terminal type "sudo apt-get install envy-ng" [06:16] vboyz: without the quotes [06:16] envy will install the newest stable driver [06:16] ravi: never knew what that was .. just checked ... by the sound of it, vboyz will be better off with that then [06:17] !envy [06:17] envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository and has community support. As an early version, its results may vary but this should be used over the unsupported envy package. [06:17] ok [06:17] eboyjr, I definitely remember something like that... a guide somewhere in the forums... maybe Aysu's [06:17] ravi: isnt it "sudo apt-get install envyng" ? [06:17] damntourists: Ubuntu Hardy has it by default. [06:17] They banned him for only 6 lines ( probably accidentally? ) [06:17] damntourists: revi envyng-gtk [06:17] please all, i know it is now in the repos but please, envy is last resort, has way too many down-sides, and most of the time not needed [06:17] alex_mayorga awaiting the next instruction [06:17] is there a way to get xorg to PROPERLY detect display and write to xorg.conf? or this not fixed yet? [06:17] thanks, yep [06:17] vboyz: in your terminal type "sudo apt-get install envy*" [06:18] fde: i'm trying to get to the website to get the configurator though [06:18] i agree with envy as the last resort [06:18] vboyz: you'll see confirmation to install, just hit enter [06:18] ChatterboX_ can you please pass back the link and on the terminal do "lsusb" no quotes [06:18] Taime1: what about gksudo displayconfig-gtk [06:18] vboyz: yt? [06:18] Is packages.ubuntu.com down? I can`t seem to get to it [06:18] cmw72: by the way, to get double screen you have to choose the 'configure' button, and choose separate x-screens, then drag the second screen to the position you want (if you don' t see second screen, drag the screen and it will be under the other one) [06:18] ravi:E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) [06:18] kinda like installing beta driver so you can play a 3d game lol :) [06:18] eboyjr, it's not banned. It's just a bot stopping excessive flood. [06:18] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? [06:18] vboyz: close any synaptic window that is open [06:19] Deepthought, I figured it out ... had to do sudo nvidia-settings [06:19] and that let it save [06:19] vboyz: also close any update manager windows [06:19] all is right with the world now [06:19] vboyz: try to close add/remove or synaptic then try again in terminal [06:19] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TabletSetupWizardpen [06:19] cmw72: as I asaid... === daurnimas is now known as daurnimator [06:19] sorry ... i must have missed that [06:19] vboyz: and retry the command again at the command prompt by pressing the up arrow and hitting enter [06:19] E: Couldn't find package envy-ng [06:19] thanks for all your help [06:19] cmw72: do you get 2 screens now ? [06:19] alex_mayorga https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TabletSetupWizardpen [06:19] yup [06:19] E: Couldn't find package envy-ng [06:19] two separate screens [06:19] vboyz: did you type "sudo apt-get install envy*"? [06:19] ravi: i think you are indian [06:19] vboyz: package name is envyng-gtk [06:19] vboyz: yep [06:19] cmw72: innit cool ? I could never get back to one [06:19] yes the big sudo helps all maybe [06:20] ravi: probably a good patch to add to the error message :) [06:20] Can someone please help me with compiling this program.. its a bit old so im confused. [06:20] cmw72: watch nasa-tv on top screen and do the chores on the bottom ;-) [06:20] DIFTOW: what package [06:20] gnome-desktop-environment: Depends: gnome-keyring-manager (>= 2.20.0) but it is not installable [06:20] It isn't a package. [06:20] It is just source code files. [06:20] ChatterboX_ thanks, does the lsusb gave you any of the names listed on that page? [06:20] alex_mayorga: sorry.. which one? [06:20] File System Vizualizer. [06:20] i installed envyng-gtk [06:20] DIFTOW: okay what is it [06:20] Visualizer* [06:21] vboyz: now launch it [06:21] vboyz: yay, now go to Applications > System Tools > EnvyNG [06:21] The following packages have unmet dependencies: [06:21] gnome-desktop-environment: Depends: gnome-keyring-manager (>= 2.20.0) but it is not installable [06:21] E: Broken packages [06:21] http://fsv.sourceforge.net/ [06:21] ravi: the make sure synaptic windows are closed [06:21] ya opend [06:21] alex_mayorga: yep [06:21] i opend EnvyNG [06:21] i opend EnvyNG [06:21] vboyz: click on install nvidia driver [06:21] vboyz: then run it [06:21] automatic\ [06:21] or manual [06:21] ?? [06:21] vboyz: yep [06:21] which one needed [06:21] vboyz: auto [06:21] vboyz: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:21] ?? [06:22] cross your fingure and your toes [06:22] How do I solve this error with virtualbox? 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 [06:22] vboyz: easy on the enter key please [06:22] vboyz: just choose automatic, it'll work for a bit and ask for a restart of the computer [06:22] gregbrady: just modprobe the required module [06:22] what time would /etc/logrotate.d/apache2 run? [06:22] vboyz: go ahead and restart and it'll come back to the login screen where you can proceed. [06:22] gregbrady, whats your kernel? do uname -a [06:22] try 'modprobe vboxdrv' [06:22] look man Nasa - no Linux support! http://www.nasa.gov/help/multimedia/odplayer.html [06:22] ravi: are you from kerala [06:22] ??

[06:24] ravi: your e-mail ID pleases [06:24] quit [06:24] ravi, applications menu? All that stuff is handled by some XML files located in various locations in your home folder or in /etc [06:25] gregbrady, yea hang on one sec theres a package u need to install [06:25] SeaPhor: that is envy; envyng was developed with the help of ubuntu developers and is in the repos [06:25] alex_mayorga when Genius is on the list [06:25] Nasa supports Flight Linux [06:25] vocx: hmm... I know but how can I flush that stuff? [06:25] vocx: seems it's conflicting with my old home partition [06:25] usser, no problem [06:25] vboyz: sorry man, I can't give it out in a public IRC such as this [06:25] I think the name 'envyng' should of been.. well.. perhaps better if it dident have the term 'envy' in it. :) [06:25] vboyz: or else everyone will be after me [06:25] gregbrady, here do this sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose-modules-386 [06:25] ravi: not for that [06:25] bazhang: how exactly was I on topic? [06:26] If someone can help me. Please send me a PM or join #moomoo so I can talk without all this distraction here. [06:26] ravi, I think you could delete the info on HOME since I guess it takes precedence over stuff in /etc [06:26] alex_mayorga: discussion of nasa was not [06:26] ravi: i just want to add you as my friend in orkut [06:26] vboyz: don't have orkut [06:26] ravi: its ok [06:26] vboyz: lets take this to #ubuntu-offtopic [06:26] usser, funny, not part of the regular install? [06:26] I keep asking for help, and everyone who says "whats the problem?" doesnt ever respond when I explain. [06:27] vocx: ok... mind being a bit more specific as to what to delete? [06:27] its envy-gtk [06:27] gregbrady, it should have been installed, did it work? [06:27] DIFTOW: what is the exact issue; please clearly state what you have tried, what errors you have gotten etc [06:27] usser, working now [06:27] holy crud people "sudo apt-get install envy*" and get it over with [06:27] bazhang: I didn't introduce the topic, but anyway, thanks on your input [06:27] DIFTOW, well, you don't explain exactly what the problem is, you just say, "I wann compile halp!" [06:27] or envy-qt if you run kde [06:27] No [06:27] I cant transfer the pictures from my camera, it wont show up, I plug it in and nothign shows up! :( [06:27] Wrong [06:28] sc006: envyng-qt [06:28] DIFTOW: have you checked the readme or install files in its sources? [06:28] ravi: rm ~/. [06:28] Of course [06:28] fot kde [06:28] They appear to be empty. [06:28] cirkit: hahaha [06:28] ravi, my apt-get install has tab completion. :) [06:28] for KDE [06:28] DIFTOW: is there a ./configure script in it? [06:28] Look, you can get the same files I have. [06:28] http://fsv.sourceforge.net/ [06:28] Dr_willis: ah yes, but people make too much fuss about which envy to install [06:29] I tried running the configure script in the terminal.. it didnt work. [06:29] Dr_willis: not like an extra 50 kb on the disk is going to hurt anyone [06:29] ravi, I can't tell exactly what to delete, but I'll search the GNOME desktop guides... let's see if I can find it. [06:29] DIFTOW: what error messages did it give out? [06:29] ravi, im not sure apt-get install envy* would work.... Then again the name 'envy' = somthing we trained people to run away from for ages. :) [06:29] Dr_willis: it does [06:29] sorry youtr right [06:29] drivetrax: if you follow links on the nasa-page you linked earlier, you' ll find you end up on linux-real-player fer instance; so nuf support to work [06:29] bazhang, whatever, its the same thing, and i am better off from what you told me then, i am envy free and feels as good as being windows free , GL with what ever you do just remember that all the places you tell ppl to go are mostly empty #wireless, and so on [06:29] dont listen to me [06:29] lol [06:29] vocx: thanks, I'm not going to take cirkit's advice of rm ~/.* [06:29] vocx: :) [06:30] ravi, it just matched several dozen packages here. :) [06:30] Dr_willis: yep... no problem [06:30] Anyone know why I don`t have xdmx in hardy? I have all my sources enabled [06:30] OMG THERE ARE 1337 PEOPLE HERE [06:30] 1337 ftw [06:30] i need to fry my brain [06:30] what is xdmx [06:30] ravi, except dont want the gnome stuff. heh.. [06:30] ChatterboX_ then try to follow this guide http://www.stud.fit.vutbr.cz/~xhorak28/index.php?page=WizardPen_Driver#4 [06:30] Dr_willis: it's really not going to kill your system - you know that right? [06:31] haiiii [06:31] SeaPhor: glad it worked out for you; re-directing people is an option for people who may not get the answer here-->compiz gives very good answers though it is less active here (though everywhere is less active than here) [06:31] ravi, of course. but it seems the use of wildcards can tend to grab a lot more then what one expects [06:31] hello [06:31] Can anyone here help me with my wifi problem? If I turn off wireless using the kill switch, then turn it back on, I am unable to connect to any networks until I reboot. [06:31] Dr_willis: much better than not grabbing one thing that you need [06:31] Is there a command for running a command? like START program.exe in windows? [06:31] usser, no, it did not work [06:32] ravi, BEST is to use apt-cache search and get the proper name. ;) [06:32] Dr_willis: it's good for noobies who need a quick way to install it without getting into too complex of names [06:32] ravi, ha, well, I can't tell you _exactly_, but it must be some file mentioned here: http://library.gnome.org/admin/system-admin-guide/2.20/menustructure-0.html.en [06:32] gregbrady, what does it say? [06:32] gregbrady, same story? [06:32] sorry bought the type on the envy progam all [06:32] usser, same error [06:32] gregbrady, alright hang on 1 sec [06:32] usser, no problem, thank you [06:32] sc006: it is so new most people make the same error ;] [06:32] vocx: ok... hmm.

[06:33] yea i didnt even see it lol [06:33] anyone know how to reload all the menus in Ubuntu to the defaults? [06:34] I'm currently ssh'd into a school computer, and in the console I have no support for spanish characters. Can I change this without being a superuser? [06:34] this is driving me nuts [06:34] cookiemonster077, ive never seen them needing drivers to be loaded. [06:34] why is the sound not working in the chromium game in hardy [06:34] hey guys.. question on hardy - i upgraded, and my evtouch driver (i use .87) calibration is completely different than in gutsy (no hardware changes) [06:34] how do i fix it [06:34] Hello all is there any software that supports google talk [06:34] why doesn't the sound work in chromium in ubuntu 8.04 [06:34] karayan: you mean with voice?

I don't know how to reset it. I'm not an expert on this, but I want to learn this stuff also, since I wanted to customize my menus a little. [06:35] ravi, i normally move the whole home/* to a backup dir. that way i start with a clean home. and move whatever config files/dirs back [06:35] i don't even get music or sound in the chromium game [06:35] ravi, yes google talk with voice [06:35] dr_willis : i now have it recognizing cds but not dvds and dmesg says its using uniform cdrom drivers [06:35] karayan: hmm.. I would have to say no [06:35] ravi you mean the panels? [06:35] karayan: however Skype is available [06:35] usser, and the guide is? [06:35] alex_mayorga i'm not understanding it [06:35] alex_mayorga: menu items [06:35] is there a fix for the no sound issue in chromium game [06:35] bazhang: menu itmes [06:35] bazhang: items* [06:35] gregbrady, bah sorry https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [06:36] usser, heh [06:36] alex_mayorga how i do step 2?

[06:36] gregbrady, just follow steps for gutsy [06:36] ravi, I did a google and found things like tapioca and jabbin. They are not actively developed? [06:36] i have a problem with the synaptic packet manager [06:36] karayan: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=246717 [06:36] ChatterboX_ type that on a terminal on the directory you downloaded the driver [06:36] hittingpilot: what kind of problem?

[06:37] ravi you mean the system-->preferences-->main menu items? that one? [06:37] karayan: you can give it a shot but I don't think they are maintained [06:37] anyone? [06:37] bazhang: I mean applications [06:37] i'm trying to install a windows wifi device [06:37] gregbrady, no problem [06:37] bazhang: you see, I have an old Home partition and I reinstalled [06:37] ravi did you check that [06:37] ChatterboX_ you can double click and it would ask where to extract [06:37] bazhang: and I can't see any new icons appearing as I install new apps [06:37] bazhang: check what? === xander is now known as Xvedejas [06:38] ravi the preferences main menu config tool [06:38] bazhang: not much I can do there [06:38] chiefwigms, anyone what? If you are not answered repeat the question, but don't just say "anyone?" because it's confusing. [06:38] bazhang: it doesn't help with adding new apps as I install them [06:38] hey guys.. question on hardy - i upgraded, and my evtouch driver (i use .87) calibration is completely different than in gutsy (no hardware changes) [06:38] ravi: adding from where repos or random sites [06:39] bazhang: for example, I installed epiphany-browser and it should show up in Application> Internet but it doesn't [06:39] bazhang: repos [06:39] alex_mayorga its suppose to be just a folder with the files after extraction right? please alex_mayorga, remember i'm still kinda new to this [06:39] When I drag a launcher with a command of "nautilus" to another launcher with a command of "gksudo %u", nothing happens.. Yet when I drag a txt file to a launcher with a command of gksudo "gnome-open %u" , it opens gedit with the file i dragged to it with root privileges.. Why is that? [06:39] bazhang: that epiphany was the epiphany-browser package [06:39] ravi epipahny? let me try [06:39] bazhang: epiphany-browser [06:40] ChatterboX_ yep now on that folder there should be INSTALL and README files, double click those and read along [06:40] !wireless > Scunizi [06:40] u could try gconf-editor but i don't if it will help you [06:40] sc006: talking to me?

This might mean you need to manually fix this package." any ideas? [06:42] Garbear: heheheh Intel [06:43] Garbear: ignore what I said above [06:43] hi, i just upgraded to hardy heron, and for some reason all my sound is extremely degraded and low quality. what could be causing this problem?

[06:44] Garbear: ok.. so what happens when you try to turn it on? [06:44] Ok, I give up on virtualbox!!!!! It is not as easy as stated! [06:44] ChatterboX_ you need to do that on a terminal that is open on the folder you extracted [06:44] my only display options are vesa generic compliant video [06:44] gregbrady, ha ha, you newbie! [06:44] it saysno [06:45] vocx, true enough! [06:45] ChatterboX_ you know how to traverse folders using cd command right? [06:45] Mr_Awesome, I think they added the Pulse Audio sound system on top of alsa. So that may be the cause. But don't know of any solutions. Mine is fine. [06:45] gregbrady, what happened? [06:45] Garbear: ok.. what laptop are you running? [06:45] gregbrady, where u stuck? [06:45] what wrong with vbox [06:45] a !new-user factoid is hardly overdue [06:45] alex_mayorga no [06:45] VirtualBox kernel driver not installed.

[06:46] sorry for my english [06:46] yeah [06:46] u should get the full one from the web sight [06:46] usser, yes [06:46] ChatterboX you've never used cmd.exe back in windows?

It's not exactly the same as the -ose package but you won't notice any difference. [06:48] gregbrady, no errors?

[06:48] bazhang: that's how it did it previously for me [06:48] phobos_, why do you think it was flash?

[06:49] vocx: removed the plugin completly [06:49] lucian as linus says real mean have the world save them or something like that [06:50] Any suggestions? is this a common problem? [06:50] ChatterboX_ so are you on a terminal at the folder you've extracted? [06:50] alex_mayorga what guide? i feel forced to go back to using xp, i hate having to do installations on ubuntu, i like it very much but windows is so much easier [06:50] switchcat, what program are you using to watch the file? Use a different program. [06:50] gregbrady, do this sudo apt-get install curl build-essential patchutils [06:51] sec ravi [06:51] ravi sometimes a refresh of x will do it; it showed it in the main menu config tool but did not show the icon so I deleted it and added again [06:51] alex_mayorga what do you mean on a terminal at the folder, i have the terminal opened [06:51] usser, are you telling him to compile the vbox source? why? the package doesn't work or what? [06:51] ChatterboX_ you're free to go, but if you want ubuntu to be better at least write the mail to your vendor [06:51] it really not easer it's the learning curve [06:51] bazhang: ok, weird. probably the package's post-installer gone wrong [06:51] bazhang: stupid me [06:52] usser, so much faith to copy and paste a sudo command! [06:52] vocx: the problems also only started once i installed the plugin to begin with. It could be somethign else but it was the only pattern i notioced [06:52] Hello i have a question i kinda got my self in a pickle here i downloaded the live cd when i ment to download the text based installer because my computer will not install on the live cd and i knew that from previous attemts is there any way to make a partition on my hd and make it boot the text based installer? [06:52] alex_mayorga i dont want to go, but i'm getting abit frustrated...its not easy thats all [06:52] bazhang is there a factoid for basic CLI interactions? [06:52] vocx, yea... i told him to install package module for 386, didnt seem to work [06:52] vocx - I've already tried a few different programs, gxine, vlc, etc. etc. [06:52] Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".

[06:53] gregbrady, kk sudo module-assistant update [06:53] bazhang: yep, thanks [06:53] n/m fixed it... theres a hardy patch for it [06:53] :) [06:53] Ok so I encountered the most weird thing ever... trying to figure out which process stalls on boot. But it seems my filesystem turned to READ ONLY for some reason... this is right after installing hardy from scratch and installing and my favorite programs, i decided to reboot to apply changes and it just gets stuck at some point, so i did alt f3 and saw that processes such as ndiswrapper cannot proceed, or something with my integrated webcam to [06:53] bazhang: thought it was a larger problem because I was reusing my old Home [06:53] gregbrady, should finish with no errors and so on: [06:53] alex_mayorga: you mean basic bash commands? [06:53] gregbrady, sudo module-assistant unpack virtualbox-ose [06:53] flip2405. just download the alternative cd [06:54] gregbrady, and sudo module-assistant auto-install virtualbox-ose [06:54] ChatterboX_ I understand that, just stick to it a bit and it'll come to you, type pwd on a terminal and it'll tell where you're at [06:54] Garbear: please post to http://paste.ubuntu.com [06:54] bazhang !cd !ls !pwd maybe?

[07:30] ravi: i do when i go fullscreen [07:30] qwiksand, this should unarchive the file, creating a folder with files and other folders [07:30] me too [07:30] ravi: but the sound is still fine [07:30] phantom784: go ahead and right click on any flash app and go to settings and turn off hardware acceleration if it is turned on [07:30] ok, hosts file now says 127.0.0.1 localhost [07:30] didn't work with turning off hardware acc for me... [07:30] GT64: k, so how's sudo bash doing? [07:30] when i typed the first thing nothing happened [07:30] tony, installation problems are important to usability.

[07:45] Question: any major difference between kernel 2.6.22 and 2.6.24? [07:45] alex_mayorga, i got a new dell, trying it out (on it right now), inspiron 1420, ubuntu pre installed [07:45] alex_mayorga, got it less than a week ago [07:45] UberCanuck :~/Desktop/wizardpen-driver-0.5.0 so with the ":"? [07:45] Anyone going to Ubuntu Live this year? (I went last year) [07:45] UberCanuck, you know what i would do with that? scrap the 'dell' version of that ubuntu, and put regular ubuntu on it.. [07:45] lmosher, 2.6.24 has a new opensource driver for intel wifi [07:45] lmosher you have any support issues with the new kernel? [07:45] qwiksand, no ':' [07:45] they restrict ubuntu so much its not funny [07:45] UberCanuck that's also on the short list, that I might even afford the eeePC is also on the list [07:46] Chris|, why - no trust? :-) [07:46] they left out a ton of repo's.. [07:46] its saying its not a directory [07:46] bazhang, I can't get 2.6.24 to boot. I get an error: ALERT! /dev/disk/by-UUID/ does not exist. Dropping to shell. 2.6.22 boots just fine. [07:46] alex_mayorga, have 2 eepc - went to LInuxfest Northwest with one two weeks before - surprised that its still gathering attention [07:46] Chris|: So just add those repos back, rather than install fresh... legal DVD playback etc is a good thing. [07:46] qwiksand, the directory that was created, was it in your home or on your Desktop? [07:47] lmosher: have you looked at launchpad to confirm any of the bugs there? [07:47] fde, yeah but i can also do that in totem with restricted-ubuntu-extras ;) besides i'd rather have a clean install, but each his own [07:47] yes [07:47] thaks phobos, but it did not work :((( [07:47] lmosher sometimes workarounds will be posted there before they get to the forums [07:47] Chris|, i added them back in, removed some stuff (nothing nasty like they do with MS oses) [07:47] bazhang, I was looking at one that was pretty similar, but their workarounds didn't work for me. :( [07:47] qwiksand, which? [07:47] Chris|: ubuntu-restricted-extras doesn't provide legality... [07:48] which what? [07:48] UberCanuck I'll wait and see until they release the 9 inch one [07:48] qwiksand, where is the directory - home or desktop? [07:48] yeah UberCanuck i did that, but still not as good as a fresh install, everything still worked as if it did with the dell version [07:48] !ot > alex_mayorga [07:48] bazhang, 2.6.22 seems to be working OK. I have 9245 wireless and it's working just fine.. so.. I might just leave it as-is until next version... maybe they'll fix it by then. [07:48] alex_mayorga, probably a good idea - its a little claustrophobic [07:48] yay got steam to work under wine [07:49] fde, that's true, but i'm sure i wont get the FBI knocking on my door [07:49] UberCanuck do you feel like !ot ? [07:49] lmosher best to stay with what works [07:49] is it possible so i can use my files of my games on my D: windows drive? [07:49] UberCanuck> /home/roshane/Desktop >>>thats the properties of the folder [07:49] or do i have to clone them somewhere [07:49] Chris|: please stay on topic [07:49] Chris|, so far so good - but my reason for buying is to evaluate it for purchasing for the company I'm with, easier if we have to do less with it (if you get my meaning) [07:49] ode.net [07:49] alex_mayorga, ot? [07:50] how do you mount an external USB harddrive in Hardy? I see it on my desktop, but priviledges arent right or something.. ? [07:50] !ot [07:50] UberCanuck, i see your point [07:50] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [07:50] bazhang, Yep. I'm glad I got it working. I was really pissed (just bought this laptop) and I used my hardy CD and it wouldn't load/install.. I was getting mad until I tried Gutsy and it installed fine. At first I was just thinking the laptop was screwy. Now (as far as I can tell from bug reports) it's just my HDD being less compatible with the latest kernel [07:50] choke: Sure, you can even use the Windows DLL's for better performance under wine too... just point to it via System > Wine > Configure Wine. [07:50] qwiksand, okay, then in the terminal type `cd ~/Desktop' and then cd into the folder that was created [07:50] lmosher, still, you should read about it on the forums. Maybe it is a persistent problem only few experience. Search for the exact model of the laptop. And ye, new hardware doesn't always work. === FRiEd|BnC is now known as FriedCPU [07:51] UberCanuck what ubottu just said [07:51] Chris|, Ubuntu is not an enterprise desktop, its behind sled or rhed [07:51] does anyone know any programs that are like mspaint?

[07:53] fde, installing gnupaint right now [07:54] no problems been web surffing to see if there is anything out there [07:54] qwiksand, i'd suggest you get some help but to compile the driver, you will need to do `sudo apt-get install xutils-dev build-essential` [07:54] UberCanuck: cant find it there it was the first place i looked. :s [07:54] vboyz, if you're on hardy you already have it.

[08:08] socially acceptable, and whatnot? [08:08] what is the HTML editor available with Seamonkey? [08:09] hey is there an equivalent to bcheck (solaris) or dbx debugger in ubuntu/debian? [08:09] is it available as a standalone app or a package for ubuntu? [08:09] Peemonkey [08:09] opop it is fine but ext3 is more in use-->please stay on topic [08:09] opop: No one has been maintaining Reiser for more than a year, and there are rumors of it being dropped. [08:09] qwiksand, i'm affraid that the instructions won't work as written, sec, i'm looking into why [08:09] opop: (by the upstream kernel guys) [08:09] bazhang, that's what i was looking for, from fde. thanks, m8 [08:10] bazhang, completely on topic, thank you very much. [08:10] argh, can I force a reinstall of the restricted drivers? [08:10] blankthebiggerpc: sure... sudo apt-get install --reinstall [08:11] makes sense fde :D [08:11] blankthebiggerpc: or in synaptic ... right click the package and "mark for reinstallation" or whatever it says. [08:11] bazhang not sure i follow [08:11] qwiksand, also need to do `sudo apt-get install x-dev libx11-dev libxext-dev` (more libraries) [08:11] how easy is it to do redundant sql servers, say, across town?

[08:12] opop, okay, tried, ready for bed :-/ [08:12] UberCanuck, i just know how i want it to operate.

[08:12] I have an IBM Laptop with 8.04 installed in it.

What should I do? [08:12] opop, is it being editing at 2 locations, or just 1 then replicated to the 2nd location (like a report, read-only server) [08:12] Sure fde, brb gotta give my laptop the lan cable...

[08:15] bazhang dont have Restricted Driver Manager from System -> Administration -> Restricted Driver Manager [08:15] UberCanuck, oh, ok. my bad. that's really cool, though. think you might have some time tomorrow to help troubleshoot if i can't get it running right? [08:15] patifa: it looks like it worked. for some reason when I next ran sudo whilst aptitude was running it worked [08:15] nevermind, its finished [08:15] fde: its intel, right [08:16] mystic that is for gutsy; you are in hardy then? [08:16] yep [08:16] bazhang: what is the factoid for bad virtual monitor resolution?

[08:16] ready to go, whats next? [08:16] benovic: It is due to it giving you a smaller virtual monitor resolution than actual resolution... [08:16] fde: i already installed 915resolution and RUandR ... still doesnt work [08:16] my son just turned 10, UberCanuck, congrats. he's still alive, you're doin it right. [08:16] !resfix > benovic [08:17] mystic now it is hardware drivers [08:17] UberCanuck, right on. the docs are out there, I'm sure--i'm still in yer debt! have fun tomorrow.

[08:20] sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [08:20] oops :) [08:20] lemon, i just did the 2 commands at http://lifehacker.com/350015/enable-dvd-playback-in-ubuntu-in-two-commands [08:20] bazhang: well i want kvirc but all i can find is rpms, don't wanna compile it, last time i did i kept geting the kde tray icon as a window in gnome, even tried different configure flags [08:20] Could someone test out that my apache works? 80.223.75.145 [08:20] the 3.4 kvirc [08:20] kindofabuzz, apt-cache search alien [08:20] bazhang: That looks complicated, but pay special attn to the changes to xorg.conf relating to "Modes" and the "Options" section... [08:21] it'll probably take me most of the day tomorrow getting the one server just right, then i can work on getting the failover to the other box across town working [08:21] UberCanuck: i know about alien, i was just asking will it work good [08:21] kindofabuzz: kvirc and kvirc2 are in the hardy repos [08:21] * opop shudders at alien [08:21] kindofabuzz, i haven't had trouble in years [08:21] kindofabuzz, though, i don't use it often [08:21] hi [08:21] * opop remembers old rh/debian/alien dependency hell [08:21] how is the listing of partitions not on fstab in "Places" and in nautilus achied eg 80.0 gb Media [08:21] Argh still failing [08:21] can we continue this in the morning? will u be here? [08:21] qwiksand, might be on your own, sorry, heading offline soon [08:21] kindofabuzz: kvirc is in Ubuntu universe... why do you need the RPM? [08:21] UberCanuck: kvirc owns all irc progs =) [08:22] qwiksand, sorry no, son's surprise b-day party [08:22] is there a way to install only 'ubuntu-minimal' ? [08:22] fde: because i want kvirc 3.4 [08:22] ok, congrats [08:22] i don't need gui and applications :) [08:22] Wizard, yes, use the minimal or server cd [08:22] \o/ [08:22] what on earth do I have to do to make "expo" show only the current workspace with all my open windows nicely arranged and waiting to be selected? now, if I move my pointer to the top-right corner it will show all of my 4 workspaces and I don't want that... [08:22] great [08:22] kindofabuzz: then your only option is alien ... [08:22] Wizard: sure get the minimal iso (9mb) [08:22] kindofabuzz, even if it's not in the repos, someone's got to have a 3.4 deb somewhere [08:22] Wizard, sorry, alternate cd [08:22] is it available for powerc? [08:23] opop: yeah i been looking, so far no luck [08:23] Wizard, not sure, used to be [08:23] danny, i don't think that's what expo does. [08:23] ok, i'm gonna look for it [08:23] then what? :) [08:23] thanks :) [08:23] danny scale plugin [08:23] anyone point me to a tutorial that will help me get nvidia working under Hardy - I have tried everything i can think of and all it does is reboot [08:24] Ok my X server is still trashed after a reinstall ideas?? [08:24] danny, why don't you download, compile, and make a deb? [08:24] what mechanism does ubuntu use to list partition in places (when they are not incl in fstab)? [08:24] !nvidia > Dryrd [08:24] zionpsyferrrrr r u there [08:24] Tom47, you could do a gparted and just hit 'p' at the prompt [08:24] ooh I know, I still have an older binary installer [08:25] kindofabuzz, debian has kvirc, you can grab the spec and source and rebuild if you want on ubuntu [08:25] I have an IBM Laptop with 8.04 installed in it. When I press the volume control button (not the shortcut but the keyboard feature), the volume changes but the indicator does not show up as it did on 6.06, nor the volume controller's volume % changes. What should I do? [08:25] kindofabuzz, surprised its not in a repo if deb has it [08:25] oh man... it was there. the humanity! :) thanks opop. i din't see the forest because of the trees. I was so sure it was expo's job, i din't bother to look somewhere else [08:25] UberCanuck: i have built it before, when i do i get the KDE tray icon as a seperate window, i use gnome [08:26] UberCanuck: Debian/Ubuntu only has 3.2.x ... he wants 3.4 for whatever reason. [08:26] UberCanuck: 3.2.4 is in repos yeah, not 3.4.0 [08:26] kindofabuzz, ah, then try ./configure by hand, see if there are options for gnome [08:26] UberCanuck: i've been through several configure flags [08:26] kindofabuzz, 3.4.0 is on debian [08:26] danny; right on, where was it? [08:26] kindofabuzz, ah, then you know more than I, sorry [08:26] woot fixed it! [08:26] how would i get it from Debian? [08:27] dang, wish i would have seen what danny found [08:27] fde: I have the newest intel drivers, no help here... my xorg.conf looks like it hasn't detected anything: http://pastebin.com/m454c24a5 [08:27] kindofabuzz: you can add a sid deb-src line to sources.list and build it from the Debian package... might get you better results... [08:27] kindofabuzz: you will likely break things if you dont know what you are doing [08:27] i'm gonna try the rpm first [08:27] kindofabuzz, grab the spec and src from debian.org, packages search area [08:28] benovic: yeah... add those things rather than have it try to auto-detect... obviously the auto-detection is failing for you ;) [08:28] kindofabuzz: antying outside the repos is at your own risk you know [08:28] i'll be back, need to uninstall this version and configs [08:28] fde: and the built in display resolution wizard is displaying both screens over another [08:29] opop ... sorry i dnt think i was clear there .... i have partitions not included in fstab yet ubuntu is lesting them under "Places" as does Nautilus ... how is this done? [08:29] benovic: ok... do what that page explains please. [08:29] fde: i dont really want to mess around with xorg.conf every time i attach an external monitor :( [08:30] fde: well, i'll di anyway [08:30] do it [08:30] benovic: It has nothing to do with monitor being used, fwiw [08:30] Tom47, if they're mounted (like on /media/sdxy) and you want information on what partition is mounted where, you can check out /etc/mtab. HAL handles partitions that are not in mtab, and it gets the information from the kernel somehow [08:30] night all... [08:30] Tom47, *handles partitions that aren't in fstab, rather [08:30] Okay, I just shut ubuntu down using #sudo shutdwon now -P | when I rebooted my screen resolution is set to 800x600 instead of 1600x1200 [08:30] night UberCanuck [08:30] what's the deal? [08:31] benovic: if you want a guided way, you can try 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg' and explicitly define a resolution. [08:31] and how do If ix it [08:31] opop ty will try and get my understadning upgraded on that ... you have given me the leads [08:31] moon`: you can try the command I just said too :) [08:31] Tom47, right on! my understanding is limited--but then, i don't really need to know how HAL works [08:32] Tom47, mtab is formatted just like fstab, except without the user friendly spaces in between stuff--but all the stuff comes in the same order. [08:32] benovic: moon`: If you don't know the right setting, just hit enter, for the questions that confuse you [08:32] which nvidia driver works with 8.04? [08:32] Hi folks, I've just installed Ubuntu 8.04 on my VIA STA fanless workstation on a Sandisc Cruiser 16GB USB stick. (Thanks for supporting booting from USB, by the way.) The system boots up OK, but then it hangs during X login. (it displays the background and a mouse pointer, but no menus and widgets.) Any ideas what might be going wrong? Thanks for your help. [08:32] I'm having some trouble with ssh X forwarding.. DISPLAY is not set it says. any advice? [08:32] opop my prob is i have several partitions the same size and the HAL descriptions dont seem to help so i prob will have to add them to fstab with unique external descriptions [08:32] 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [08:33] Could someone test my apache? 80.223.75.145 [08:33] i'm headed downstairs for a minoot. see y'all later. [08:33] I typed that in and it didn't do anything :/ [08:33] Tom47, look into labeling the partitions [08:33] xserver-xorg postinst warning: overwriting possibly-customised configuration [08:33] file; backup in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.20080504013232 [08:33] that was the read out [08:33] Tom47, pretty sure the ubuntu kernel handles that pretty well. [08:33] can anyone recommend a book that takes you through linux/unix all the way from basics to advanced topics? what I can't really seem to find is a book that isn't either too basic or too advanced [08:33] Quntin, You can try "ssh -X" [08:33] moon`: ahh... that is fine... but do '-plow' ... oops, it'll actually ask things then :) [08:34] o[o[ ah ok thats an idea too [08:34] Hey is there anyone who can assist me with installing a LAMP server with PHPmyadmin. I have tried every way i know and cant figure it out [08:34] bennyf11, should be pretty straightforward. there's a lamp howto on the ubuntu wiki [08:34] and phpmyadmin should be a drop-in kind of thing [08:34] iirc, bennyf11 [08:34] benovic: you too, you want -plow if you do the dpkg-reconfigure command I said... I got the priority settings back to front [08:35] having a problem getting openssh-server [08:35] "Package openssh-server is not available, but is referred to by another package" etc etc [08:35] benovic: In your case though, it's harder if you've edited the file by hand already. [08:35] Reaminator: this is ubuntu support channel--> try #ubuntu-offtopic thanks [08:35] opop: im using 8.04 desktop, i have installed apache and php5, i can create a phptest.php file but nothing else works [08:35] how to find out rpm of your hard drive? [08:37] well so far so good using alien [08:37] do I HAVE to get the server edition to get openssh-server? or can I install it on the desktop edition? [08:37] brb [08:38] reaminator: books are paper and heavy ; Google! [08:38] opop: i am using desktop edition, and i cannot find the wiki article [08:38] lartza_, i can't ping it [08:38] !lamp | bennyf11 [08:38] bennyf11: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [08:38] Bah, I'm still stuck in 800x600 mode, what else should I try aside from that last command you said fde? [08:38] moon`: Try the last command I told you, then restart X [08:38] I did just restart [08:39] moon`: using -plow [08:39] So what we have learned today: The latest nvidia drivers totally fail with the 8600M GT and Ubuntu 7.10 [08:39] Nobody can't connect to my computer exept those that are connected to same router. How can I fix this? [08:39] yes using -plow [08:39] What was the command again [08:39] Lemme try one more thing [08:39] moon`: Is it at least listed now in System > Preferences > Screen Resolution? [08:39] How do I get .torrent files to open with Deluge rather than Transmission? [08:40] moon`: That doesn't configure for X itself though, only that user. [08:40] right click properties Aprilis [08:40] Aprilis: remove Transmission? [08:40] fde, yeah the screen resolution was listed before but I only have two options, 800x600 or 640x480 [08:40] bazhang: Properties under what? [08:40] lartza_, make sure your firewall does not block traffic. make sure your router routes the incomming packets on port 80 to your machine [08:40] Aprilis: in your browser settings or prefered apps [08:40] It's like when I first booted, like it's not detecting any video drivers [08:40] well when I first installed I mean [08:40] Aprilis: right click properties open with (click on torrent file) [08:41] velko: No firewall, I think, haven't configured any on ubuntu. adn port 80 is forwarded to this computers internal ip [08:41] bazhang: kindofabuzz: No, I've done that. That's not the problem. The problem is, directly from a torrent site, I can't default open the torrent directly with Deluge anymore, ever since upgrading to Hardy. I can save the file and THEN click on it to open with Deluge, but it won't do it directly anymore and Deluge is not an option when I click "open with other" it's only Transmission. [08:41] opop: i have followed those instructions, I have a server which shows a PHP. my issue is that i cannot get phpmyadmin to work on it [08:42] Like, what I used to do is just click on a torrent from a torrent site and it would automatically open with Deluge. Now I do it, and it says "Open with" and Transmission is the only option. Deluge isn't even listed. [08:43] Aprilis: In Firefox: Edit > Preferences > "Applications" tab [08:43] any ideas/suggestions? [08:43] Aprilis: you need to point it to /usr/bin/deluge or wherever deluge is [08:43] moon: Changed monitor? [08:44] no, changed resolution and I can't get it to go back to the original screen resolution [08:44] and all I did was shutdown with the command #sudo shutdown now -P [08:44] kindofabuzz: I tried that but I don't know where it is. I don't know what the file ending is supposed to be. It was always .exe for windows. [08:44] fde: I'm there now. [08:44] moon: Then no idea, well you could reconfigure X [08:44] it won't have a file extension [08:44] how? [08:44] hmm, i've found only 'server edition' image [08:44] I'm trying to install a tarbal which contains rpm packages. I converted all of them except one to deb using alien. But I can't convert libstdc++34-3.4.0.1.i386.rpm. I found libstdc++6 in ubuntu repositories. Where can I find libstdc++34? [08:45] does it allow to select individual packages? [08:45] Aprilis: 'which deluge' to find where it is. [08:45] fde: I typed "which deluge" but nothing is happening. [08:45] anyone here have a hp dv2000 series laptop?

[09:29] but i didn't seem to have these issues under 7.10 [09:29] guys i have some applications OpenProj for example that misbehave with Compiz on (8.04) - i.e some windows it open do not include text. if i disable dekstop effects all is ok. any idea how can i solve this and keep compiz on [09:29] OpenProj is java based [09:29] cyka, did you have the latest firefox, because the latest beta comes when u upgrade [09:29] fde: joined in the middle and got confused [09:29] prince_jammys: did that but now it says cache file is corrupted.

[09:32] prince_jammys: this was getting kinda irritating... glad you guys could help. thanks! that probably solves my other issues as well (such as not being able to find flash and java and other standard internet things) [09:32] and XP seem,ed to do more damage installing then anything else [09:32] cyka, i was gonna say i was thinkin of doin that to my laptop [09:32] so back here [09:32] :P [09:32] fde, man its me again.. [09:32] cyka, ohok [09:32] the hard drive i tried installing it on is now corrupted [09:32] :( [09:32] cyka, i haven't tried, but i was thinking it is more polished (after sp2) than this release of ubuntu [09:33] ktorvalds26: i still don't understand why apt-get doesn't work [09:33] ktorvalds26: System > Administration > Software Sources ... make sure the top 4 checkbox's are checked please... then try again for those things.

[09:34] i'm running a 1.35ghz duron with a gig of ram [09:34] "sudo /etc/hosts" and "sudo su" both produce "sudo: unable to resolve host Basement" [09:34] cyka, i'm sick of the lack of support of hardware vendors and the like [09:34] tho it is overclocked to 1512 mhz [09:34] Randocal: This might be necessary in your particular network. I do not have to do that in one of my Ubuntu computers and still it works all right. [09:35] cyka, and ubuntu kinda seems a bit of a toy, compared to xp [09:35] fde, my question its.. why i can see this Network Manager GUi.. like that web page gnome/proyects/networkmanager/// [09:35] ktorvalds26: Once you enable Mutliverse, you'll be able to install 'flashplugin-nonfree gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg sun-java6-plugin' to get some plugins to work and media codecs [09:35] i want some games i get bored sat at my machine with not much other then chatting [09:35] prince_jammys: kinda odd though - you'd think that the latest ubuntu download would have at least somewhat up-to-date repository links [09:35] Does anyone know how I can fix my /etc/hosts to resolve properly if i'm unable to sudo and open my hosts file? [09:35] whats the best way to schedule a reboot every day [09:35] fde: thanks [09:35] ktorvalds26: that's why i asked about automatix [09:35] carlosczg: That is the NetworkManager GUI. [09:35] cyka, although, i think i will stick with it ubuntu, anything is better than windoze, lol. i'd regret it in the long term i think [09:35] i know waht you mean tho [09:35] cyka, alien arena is alright [09:35] fde, for wireless... where can i find it? [09:35] yeah [09:35] fde: I was about to dump ubuntu altogether if this wasnt resolved... but its probably fine now :D [09:36] is crontab recommended? [09:36] ktorvalds26: DVD's is gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly also [09:36] but it's just a quake rip off [09:36] and i gt bored of that sorta stuff so quickly timr92 [09:36] cyka, ya.. i dont like it, i get angry with it [09:36] i want a nice strategy game [09:36] carlosczg: I told you already, the 2 computers looking think in the panel... in a terminal type 'nm-applet &' if you don't see it. [09:36] cyka, me 2 [09:36] cyka, it seemed alright to start with, but ya [09:36] Hi, is the compiz configuration tool installed by: sudo apt-get install compiz-settings-manager [09:37] cyka, uhm freecol or sumthing?? [09:37] either that or i want a game like legacy of kain [09:37] smmagic: compizconfig-settings-manager [09:37] cyka, or freeciv [09:37] ooo freeciv [09:37] cyka, ohok. i'm not sure of many more games 4 ubuntu [09:37] E: Couldn't find package compiz-settings-manager [09:37] not played that since i was running amiga hardware [09:37] oh one more thing. I'm running on p3's with 512mb pc133 on the best system I have... is there anything I can do as far as running a domain controller system on one of these (I heard there was a way to do this with ubuntu)? [09:37] thanks [09:38] cyka, lol, i took a while to figure out freeciv [09:38] how would I get age of empires III working on here? [09:38] cyka, i still dont even no if i have figured it [09:38] fde, yeah man.. i always see that think, but from there..i cant see or manipulate wifi conns... thats the prob.. =( [09:38] thats kinda why i'm on linux and ubuntu..... it's very amiga os like in feel [09:38] compizconfig-settings-manager [09:38] but it's getting to dozey now :( [09:38] cyka, ya [09:38] carlosczg: right click > edit wireless connections [09:38] i used to look forwards eveyr day to coming home n using my amiga [09:38] lol [09:38] Hello. What do I do if sudo doesn't work? [09:38] as slow as it was [09:39] hi; im having trouble installing ubuntu on a thinkpad r61 [09:39] i had mine runnig at 175 mhz [09:39] with 64 mb of ram timr92 [09:39] smmagic: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [09:39] casdf: please elaborate, what troubles? any error messages? [09:39] specifically, it gets stuck at 84% in loading kernel when i try to do anyting [09:39] I think I have a "chicken and egg" kinda problem. When I attempt to sudo I get an "unable to resolve host Basement" the solution on my other system was to add basement to the hosts file, but when I attemp to sudo and make the change to the hosts file I get a cannot resolv error. Anyone know how I can approach this? [09:39] brakkvatn: What do you mean "doesn't work"? [09:39] when i am trying to run some program from the command line i get an error "cannot execute binary file" ? [09:39] cyka, lol, i'm too yong to know much about them, or to look forward to using it [09:39] lol [09:40] casdf: is the cd written properly [09:40] anything as in, using livecd, installing, checking disk for errors... [09:40] Randocal: reboot to the recovery console (at GRUB) [09:40] cyka, i mean, to have looked foward, when they were around [09:40] !hostname | Randocal [09:40] Randocal: Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. Alternatively, use the gui at system>administration>networking on the "General" tab [09:40] timr92: i'm on 23 i'm one of the youngest in the amiga cdomunity [09:40] fed, ok...from this point.... if im in a wifi range...the list should include with this wifi network? [09:40] it md5'ed fine, but i didn't check the cd for correct burn >< [09:40] hmm. actually, lemme try the cd on this comp [09:40] it's kinda fun [09:40] fed, coz cant see that T_T [09:40] kate443: what binary? [09:40] casdf: are you able to boot completely from live CD [09:40] low-power ubuntu domain controller? anyone? help? :( [09:40] but i'm kinda bored of them too [09:40] The hostname command requires me to be root, which I can't do. [09:40] not enough tok do [09:40] cyka, well i'm 16 so there [09:40] hey [09:41] guys can you help with static wireless eth0 and roaming wireless ? [09:41] i am unable to boot or do anything at all with the cd past the inital screen [09:41] Randocal: The recovery console. [09:41] although there are so kickass games on tehre [09:41] lol\ [09:41] im going crazy here [09:41] retro games [09:41] i'm trying to install Ubuntu on a MacBook, anyone ever do this before? [09:41] 8.04, amd64 desktop btw. [09:41] but yeah [09:41] ktorvalds26: like a windows domain? or dns? [09:41] Randocal: or, `sudo -i` and then do them both in that window. [09:41] Does booting into recovery console just log me in as root automatically? [09:41] as for anything else they are pretty useless timr92 [09:41] Randocal: Yes [09:41] fde: just a home network, but I MUST have roaming profiles [09:41] cyka, when was they around? [09:41] Randocal: Or, more precisely, it boots to single user mode [09:41] Hi all. Recently installed Ubuntu 8.04 on an Acer Travelmate 5620. Works like a charm. The only outstanding issue is that I can not play media DVD's. I have tried all I have in my posession at the moment (a full 2, just moved.) When I do a "hdparm /dev/dvd" I get a few "Inappropriate ioctl for device" messages. Where would be a good point to start searching for a solution (tried google)? [09:41] then i am sure the something must have screwed up while writing tot he disk.....but you can ask around to confirm [09:41] they died sometime in the 90's [09:41] Flannel: Sudo -i also generates cannot resolve. I'll try the recovery console and see what it gives me. [09:41] can i md5 the cd after burn, with windows? [09:42] i start using normal computers when i was er, 7 or 8, and i 16 [09:42] Randocal: you'd need to sudo -i before doing either of them. [09:42] cyka, that explains y i dont remember them, or have never used them [09:42] casdf: i am not sure of if you can [09:42] lol [09:42] fomr the late 70's to the 90's i think [09:42] hehe [09:42] attempting to with windows. [09:42] fair enough [09:42] casdf: but you should be able to check it during the boot process [09:42] cyka, k, lol [09:42] i did have one sitting downstairs [09:42] so when i try that, it gets stuck at 84% linux kernel loaded. [09:42] i'll have to be able to sudo while in recovery mode/ [09:42] but i got rid of it [09:43] Randocal: No. Recovery console is single user mode, you're root. [09:43] cyka, i only remember windoze 3.11 and upwards [09:43] ooooo [09:43] Ok, back in a bit. I'm gonna try it. [09:43] i remember 3.11 [09:43] cyka, timr92, Please take the chatting to #ubuntu-offtopic [09:43] cyka, oh and we still have a comodore 64 [09:43] hu wans to h4x 202.27.158.40 ?????????

[09:49] Sadly I can't find either "System -> Administration -> Shared Folders" nor the "Windows Networking" setting in System -> Administration -> Network [09:49] on Hardy 8.04 ? [09:49] ktorvalds26: tinydns is a fork of djbdns because that maintainer sucks ;) [09:49] so many people don't know who to talk to first [09:49] Does anyone know where these settings went?

[09:52] ktorvalds26: dnsproxy even... [09:52] ok april [09:52] I'm trying to share my printer for my grilfriend's windows laptop [09:52] patifa, some mtv branded pos lcd tv from china [09:52] it can handle 1024 x 768 [09:52] everybody..i have a question..if im in a wifi network range.. , and i click on "network>edit wireless conn" it SHOULD be listed in thay list? [09:52] freibooter: I think you should try installing samba first. [09:52] ktorvalds26: basically, you'll be a DNS for your domain... and you'll get DNS info from the ISP, and add the boxes within your network... via each of those... [09:52] patifa, in fact it worked with ubuntu fine beforehand [09:52] It is [09:53] Is there a GUI front end for ftape, that might work with an HP Colorado Tape drive? [09:53] fde: ok cool [09:53] tha samba packet is installed, I even rebooted afterwards [09:53] freibooter: sudo aptitude install samba [09:53] installed via synpatic, but it shouldn't make a difference [09:53] I think I am way out my leage here [09:53] fde: then from there I can just map all home directories and such to this computer? [09:53] ktorvalds26: I'm going to guess [tiny,djb]dns was dropped due to dnsproxy being superior, else use tinydns .... [09:53] AprilHare: did you try to restart your computer since you installed the nvidia drivers? [09:54] ktorvalds26: Using NIS, yes [09:54] newbie help!!!! [09:54] ek247: why don't you just ask your question? [09:54] abdul-rahmanIII, several times [09:54] ktorvalds26: They'll also be authenticating to that box.

Any ideas why? [10:24] okay thanks! [10:24] Hey guys, I just installed ubuntu server 6.06, and I was wondering how I go about finding available packages within the console via putty? [10:24] qlty, why are you using wicd? [10:24] It is really complicated [10:24] what's the fastest way to test to see if a v4l source is working? [10:24] brunner, try it with cheese? [10:24] I heard the network manager isn't good for static IP's [10:24] why can't I get the music player to play on my page [10:25] is there a better alternative? [10:25] qlty, have you tried it with the default network manager? [10:25] yes! didn't work :( [10:25] qlty, do you have wireless on this machine? [10:25] cashmoney: tried 'aptitude'?

[10:26] !single-user [10:26] Factoid single-user not found [10:26] ANYONE HELP!!!!! [10:26] cashmoney: you mean a webserver and a PHP script that allows people to check their mail via the web? [10:26] when I use the network with Windows XP my card has to be manually set on 10mbps speed instead of autonegotiation [10:26] bizkit: mp3 ones are ok if you don't mind the whole copyright/patent restricted MP3 format [10:26] brunner, indeed [10:26] cashmoney: or is there a mail server that comes with a webserver built in now? [10:26] ah, okay [10:26] cashmoney: so start with the webserver [10:27] ek247, perhaps the website is broken [10:27] cashmoney: have you installed a webserver? [10:27] I already have a fresh copy of ubuntu 6.06 with apache2 [10:27] telexicon, which manager do you use to get wired, static IP connections working?

[10:28] cashmoney: http://php.resourceindex.com/ [10:28] telexicon: since it says so on the download section of ubuntu [10:28] telexicon oh I see! [10:28] I guess it's more geared for the newer hardware [10:28] . [10:29] I have an eMac G4 [10:29] cashmoney: Complete Scripts: E-Mail Utilities: Web Based E-Mail [10:29] ppc32 [10:29] brunner.. ineed [10:29] cashmoney, no it can still work [10:29] cashmoney, one sec, ill get you the link [10:29] hi..pidgin keeps crashing after i installed funpidgin. i tried to uninstall funpidgin but i dont know how. its not present in the add or remove programs. need help pls [10:29] the deal is.. its not 'officially' supported [10:29] but there are still community supported cd releases for newer versions [10:29] on sparc, ppc, itanium etc [10:29] cashmoney: the top result, SquirrelMail, is pretty good, I think [10:29] telexicon: my eMac wouldn't even boot the updated disc for some reason [10:30] hello I need help [10:30] ek247 what kind of help?

[10:30] cant' get music player to player on webpage [10:30] cashmoney: why do you need a package for a PHP script? [10:31] cashmoney: just download it and put it into your web root [10:31] nano_: ls -al? [10:31] telexicon: I wanted the server of course.. it's gonna be a server [10:31] n2diy: nope, it doesn't do seconds [10:31] cashmoney: which by default is somewhere in /var [10:31] it's already installed.. the system.. just gotta run the updates [10:31] cashmoney, here is 8.04 server for PowerPC and POWER: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/hardy/release/ubuntu-8.04-server-powerpc.iso [10:31] brunner it uninstalls pidgin. i even tried purge and autoremove pidgin but after i install it again same thing happens it keeps crashing [10:31] nano_: /: [10:32] mmm/ [10:32] adred: okay, is it removed right now? [10:32] is there an alsa developer online? Or the maintainer? [10:32] heres the release page for the other architectures sparc, power, ia-64 and pa-risc: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/hardy/release/ [10:32] morning guys [10:32] adred: cd ~; rm .pidgin [10:32] adred: once it's uninstalled [10:32] I am getting tired so I will talk all u folks later [10:32] adred: don't do that, actually [10:33] is there a way to just update the system with a script? [10:33] Shouldn't purge have gotten rid of the .pidgin configuration directory, though? [10:33] adred: cd ~; mv .pidgin pidgin-old [10:33] adred: do that instead [10:33] ok [10:33] cashmoney, yes [10:33] make sure you're not superuser, though [10:33] Hey, i misclicked and almost uninstalled Grub in synaptic... how comes it didnt prompt me for any dependency? [10:33] cashmoney, you can update the system to 8.04 with apt [10:34] adred: your normal username should show up when you type "whoami" and press enter [10:34] in the properties it says its still dependent of packages i have (memtest, etc) [10:34] Hey guys, I could use some help getting my laptop's wireless to work. I already installed madwifi (it's Atheros), but I can't setup the wlan interface [10:34] brunner no such file or directory present [10:34] telexicon: by apt-get update apt-get upgrade ? [10:34] adred: type whoami and tell me what it says [10:34] cashmoney, yes [10:34] yup my usernme shows up [10:34] cashmoney, just point all your stuff in /etc/apt/sources.list from dapper to hardy [10:34] can i make it so my virtual workpace only shows the windows in that workspace? [10:34] brunner it displays my username [10:34] adred: so sorry. replace ".pidgin" with ".purple" [10:34] hold on [10:35] ok [10:35] My Xorg log file says this: "EE NVIDIA(0): FAILED TO LOAD THE NVIDIA KERNEL MODULE! *** ABORTING *** [10:35] adred: cd ~; mv .purple pidgin-old [10:35] telexicon: it says I'm already updated [10:35] but I don't see how [10:35] Is there a GUI front end for ftape, that might work with an HP Colorado Tape drive? [10:35] adred: then install pidgin again and give it a shot [10:35] help? [10:35] brunner successfully remove. installing pidgin now [10:36] cashmoney, did you edit /etc/apt/sources.list ? [10:36] blank the muffin - install ur ndrivers properly [10:36] no [10:36] blankthemuffin: someone else here probably has more energy than me, but I would assume it's because of a binary driver special-compiled for a kernel version that you're not currently running [10:36] cashmoney, you need to edit that file, change all the lines that reference dapper to hardy [10:36] cashmoney, then you can update [10:36] jojmoj, how more properly do you want? I forced the kernel version to be uname -r [10:36] blankthemuffin: if I were you, I'd grab the latest binary drivers from nvidia and compile them for your current kernel [10:37] That's that I have done brunner [10:37] blankthemuffin: you went to the nvidia website, downloaded the installer for linux, ran it, and it installed fine? [10:38] Yes brunner [10:38] hm [10:38] Both the stable and beta releases have been tried [10:38] wild. I'm useless then. [10:38] great [10:38] it says not found now [10:39] blankthemuffin: try asking in #debian on OFTC. They're smarter. Just lie to them and tell them you're running debian stable. [10:39] cashmoney: what says not found? [10:39] haha [10:39] cashmoney: paste the exact message [10:39] cashmoney, ok.. pastebin your sources.list file ok? ill rewrite it [10:39] brunner, I can't.. single click mouse [10:39] rofl [10:40] yeah yeah.. apple mouse [10:40] sell your mac on ebay and buy a PC so you can copy and paste. [10:40] I could shoot myself [10:40] I have a pc [10:40] shoot the mac. save yourself. [10:40] cashmoney, highlight it.. and ctrl+shift+c [10:40] just not a keyboard and mouse [10:40] for the pc [10:40] to copy [10:40] ah [10:40] yeah, I guess the keyboard shortcuts would work instead of shooting anything [10:40] not as much fun though, you should still consider shooting something [10:40] Must be a parent. [10:40] and they don't even work [10:40] because I'm working out of a terminal [10:41] huh? [10:41] should work fine [10:41] I know they work. [10:41] ctrl+shift+c to copy, ctrl+shift+v to paste [10:41] is there someone here bychance, who might be somewhat of a wireless guru? [10:42] Sorry if I ask again, but could someone maybe help me out with my wlan installation? I followed the guides and am still not able to get it to work [10:42] eugenix: dude, just ask, so searchirc.com for "wireless" [10:42] brunner, it's a 404 error [10:42] Ask the question, don't ask to ask eugenix [10:42] cashmoney: wtf? 404 on a terminal? [10:42] like if it's not the correct link [10:42] cashmoney: dude, we've got problems [10:42] thnx brunner [10:42] when I run apt-get date [10:42] eugenix: np [10:42] err [10:43] it's cause I changed the referrences like you said [10:43] cashmoney, wait .. the sources.list file is wrong [10:43] Is all the updates so far applied to the hardycdimage? [10:43] I meant, "or searchirc.com" not "so searchirc.com" [10:43] cashmoney, can you pastebin it please? [10:43] i'm going there now [10:43] telexicon: don't ruin it... I was getting to that [10:43] eugenix: I wasn't trying to discourage you from asking here [10:43] can't get this internal atheros to work on my laptop with ubuntu [10:43] eugenix, which laptop? [10:44] eugenix: chances are these are the must user-friendly geeks you'll run into on IRC [10:44] hp dv6768 [10:44] se [10:44] tried sooooooo many different guides snapshots etc... [10:44] okay I've got a weird "issue" here [10:44] I'm runnying Hardy with an Nvidia card and nvidia drivers [10:44] eugenix: I have the same problem [10:44] when I launch up firefox [10:44] cashmoney, i can fix it in all of 20 seconds if you pastebin it [10:44] sometimes there is a small white line on the left hand side of my screen that flashes [10:44] just for a second or so [10:44] telexicon: I don't think we can pastebin [10:44] err [10:44] I'm not running compiz [10:44] copy [10:44] brunner: i think the problem is it takes too long for pidgin to connect to my xmpp account that's why it crashes when i click the tab options. never happened before. thanks anyway.. [10:45] i think the prob is that i don't know how to uninstall what i tried to do before at that my be conflicting with whatever new stuff i try [10:45] does that white line mean my screen is dying? [10:45] chell: if it only happens when you run mozilla then probably not [10:45] cashmoney, highlight text in the terminal, click the edit menu and select copy.. go to pastebin, select the input box, click the edit menu and select paste [10:45] qwikk: I've also had this thing come up with other apps I think [10:45] wait, I'm getting people confused now [10:45] telexicon: can you provide me the a link to what it should look like? [10:45] Wikipedia states: "Internet Protocol specifies a loopback network" I grepped RFC0791 but could not find any 'loopback' there. Where is a loopback network to be found in Internet Protocol? [10:45] i tried running this distro backtrack,.. and it detects my homewireless, but won't login [10:45] but it most frequently happens with mozilla (probably because that's what I use a lot) [10:45] I give up on helping in #ubuntu... I'm way too ADD or high or something to keep track of everything [10:46] later all [10:46] Does the Evolution mail program tell me when I get new email even when the program is not running? does it have something running in the background? If not, is there a plugin or something I can install to make it do that? [10:46] brunner, :( [10:46] so could this mean my screen is dying? I doubt it's my graphics card seeing as I can play 3D games etc fine and I never had this issue in Vista [10:46] cashmoney, i can rewrite it for you if you pastebin it [10:46] telexicon: ? [10:46] Is there any difference on a cdimage of hardy that I downloaded on releaseday and one I download today= [10:46] ? [10:46] brunner, you're leaving? :( [10:46] hi Im using ubuntu 8.04 and i really cant get my ati x1650 card to work..i have tryed envy and other guieds but i always end up with a black screen..anyone that know a good guide or something? [10:47] I'll idle and just take random easy-to-answer stuff then [10:47] until I get sucked into a longer one [10:47] I really need to get some other work done, though [10:47] it's really great that Ubuntu has pulled in so many new people [10:47] Svish: Diskussionsforum für Evolution #evolution on irc.gimp.org [10:47] cashmoney, ok, replace your source.list with this: http://rafb.net/p/plmz5q53.html [10:47] bullgard4: ok, cool. will head there then :) [10:47] I fixed it.. just changed everything back to dapper instead of hardy [10:48] Okay, it's a screen issue... When I record my screen using recordmydesktop I don't see the white stripe so it must be something my screen does, i.e. a hardware issue [10:48] cashmoney, but that doesnt help you get hardy [10:48] felix: can you boot in recovery mode? [10:48] cashmoney, replace it with what i pastebin'd for you [10:48] I really hope it's not my graphics card because it cost me a couple of hundred € :-( [10:48] or from a live cd [10:48] cashmoney, save a copy of the original [10:48] eugenix well now i have a fresh copy of ubuntu [10:48] i am running ubuntu. became curious at what temp everything was running at. my geforce 8400 gs is reporting 71 degrees celsius. is this possible? it's still working. [10:49] I found an error when modprobing the nvidia module directly: "sh: /sbin/lrm-video: not found FATAL: Error running install command for nvidia [10:49] brunner, its had around 1000 people for a year or so at least in this channel [10:49] had similar probs with an nvidia,.. had to edit my xorg.conf file [10:49] although was with a laptop [10:49] if you don't know what his sources.list current looks like, you could always give him one for hardy and have his dist-upgrade before he does anything else [10:49] heheh [10:49] how can I change the virtual terminal of X to something other than 7? [10:49] telexicon: I know [10:49] okey..well i really need a good working guide or something cuz i cant get it to work [10:50] brunner, i just wrote one setup for hardy and told him to replace it heh [10:50] it doesn't seem right. it would be toast at 71 deg celsius, wouldn't it? [10:50] brunner, hopefully he'll do it [10:50] hmm,.. don't know of one [10:50] could the sensor be misreporting under linux? === sourcode_ is now known as sourcode [10:50] if you hit ctrl f1 after it boots,.. do you get to a terminal? [10:50] AprilHare, possibly [10:50]  Is there any difference on a cdimage of hardy that I downloaded on releaseday and one I download today? [10:51] AprilHare: Only one way to find out ... [10:51] I need to learn all the little shortcuts in ubuntu [10:51] renard99, yes? :) [10:51] no [10:51] to bring up the terminal and all that [10:51] is there a list of them? [10:51] no, i'm not measuring. too much like work. [10:51] heh [10:51] Crap I think I fixed it, brunner fyi it looks like this was the problem: http://sigma-base.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&p=14 [10:51] hmm [10:52] might shut it down for a while, remeasure when the system is cooled to ~ room temp [10:52] IT WORKSQ!#!!@% [10:52] brunner: They are listed in System > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts [10:52] bbl [10:52] AprilHare: I was suggesting you open your box and have a feel, or maybe look at the temp just after booting. [10:52] fde: neat, thanks [10:52] w0ot dude you're the bomb [10:52] How does one upgrade from 6.06 LTS to 8.04 LTS... in the 'update-manager' don't get the upgrade option [10:52] getting updates now [10:53] blankthemuffin: excellent! glad it's working for you! [10:53] me too brunner, me too [10:53] i would think there has to be some way for you to boot into recovery mode,.. get to a comman line and type: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [10:53] cashmoney, good its working? [10:53] okey thanks [10:53] telexicon: yeah.. doing the apt-get upgrade now [10:53] i have a question. if i upgrade my pc from AMD 1.6 ghz processor to a Intel 2.4 processor, do i have to reinstall ubuntu? [10:53] aburrent: sudo apt-get update and it should notify you... ensure system > administration > software sources is set to prompt for it though... [10:53] i mean if you installed hardy,. then some generic graphic driver has to have worked [10:54] fde: how do I make sure software sources is set to prompt for it though...how specifically? [10:54] that will will reconfigure your xorg.conf for a generic display driver [10:54] aburrent: In that app ... go to "Update" tab and look at "Release upgrade" [10:54] when will be the next batch of updates? it's been a week now and i still haven't received any. apps and windows crash when they become idle for an hr or so.. [10:54] Hansemann: probably not [10:54] aburrent, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardyUpgrades#head-db224ea9add28760e373240f8239afb9b817f197 [10:54] once you get back into hardy,.. don't update your display driver without the risk of losing it again [10:55] can anybody help me with an atheros AR5007 wireless? [10:55] telexicon: I followed that , but I don't get the upgrade button [10:55] Hansemann: the main issue would be the X-windows driver; you might have to run 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg', but maybe you won't need to [10:56] aburrent, and you have dapper-updates enabled? [10:56] hi.. im trying to use sgrep to extract contents from a html file - > sgrep '"
one more question. the motherboard i use now has built in vga output, but the other motherboard im going to change to, doesnt have built in graphics, will the pc start without a graphics card? [10:56] telexicon: what does that mean ,specifially? [10:56] Hansemann: there might be other driver issues if the devices on the new motherboard don't have supported drivers; but you should be fine [10:56] aburrent, go to system -> administration -> sourftware sources [10:56] telexicon: I have ubuntu 6.06 updates [10:56] aburrent: same place as what I told [10:57] telexicon: I did that ...everything is checked... [10:57] aburrent: The check boxes above the option I said... one is "whatever-updates" [10:57] fde: everything is checked [10:57] !list [10:57] 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 ;) [10:57] aburrent, click the updates tab, and make sure recommended updates is checked [10:57] aburrent, its not on the main tab, on the updates tab [10:57] Hansemann: depends on the BIOS; linux will boot without a graphics card, but the BIOS might not let you get to that point. I'm assuming this is for a headless server if your running without a graphics card? [10:57] aburrent: yeah... bottom is set to prompt for "Long term support releases only"? [10:57] how to add Xp in ubuntu grub [10:58] yes. [10:58] ferronica: that depends on which partition it is on [10:58] telexicon: on the internet updates tab all I have is : check for updates automatically ...and that is check [10:58] i use NX server to control the server because i dont like terminal so much [10:58] ed [10:58] ferronica: I already told you earlier. [10:58] Starnestommy: it is in my second HDD SATA [10:58] Starnestommy: fde: i tried [10:58] aburrent: please do what I told you. [10:58] hi, i'm having trouble installing firefox 2 in hardy [10:59] ferronica: which partition is it on that HDD? [10:59] fde: ok...let me see if I follow you...

[10:59] aburrent, could you pastebin the file /etc/apt/sources.list [10:59] telexicon: ok [10:59] telexicon: Please let him do what I told him, thanks. [10:59] Starnestommy: total 4 partition in it, two of them formatted [10:59] ferronica: which of those has windows on it? [10:59] Hansemann: you might need a graphics card temporarily to configure the BIOS (and make sure linux boots), but you could just chuck it in and hope for the best :) [10:59] Starnestommy: in one i installed Xp other i am using it as Data storage [10:59] telexicon: where do I pastebin to? [10:59] probing internet for magical atheros AR5007 fix [11:00] ok. thanks for the help [11:00] Hansemann: if you're using dhcp for the network card the IP will probably change... [11:00] fde: I think the problem might be my sources.list [11:00] im using static ip [11:00] !pastebin > aburrent [11:00] !pastebin [11:00] 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) [11:00] ferronica: add this to your /boot/grub/menu.lst http://paste.ubuntu.com/9945/ [11:00] renard99, thats a good idea [11:00] aburrent: It's not... [11:00] how can i use grep with searching for ' characters??? [11:01] vanush: grep \' [11:01] aburrent: We can do it that way, but it wouldn't be as supportable... you're updating through 18months worth of updates... [11:01] fde: here's my sources.list: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9946/ [11:01] telexicon: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9946/ [11:01] Starnestommy, doesnt work with sgrep :( [11:01] aburrent: LOTS of things might break if you don't do it via updates-manager... so please make sure what I said is set [11:02] ciao [11:02] fde: ok...what do I do again?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [11:03] fde: I have no release upgrade section..only an "internet updates" section [11:03] tamis: Only if you have time to ask it... [11:03] hehe [11:03] getting a bit cheesed off now - i have tried installing nvidia drivers and all it does is reboots constantly - this is in Hardy [11:04] aburrent: wow... I guess dapper is too old for that :/ [11:04] fde: I have "insallation media" "intenet updates" and "authentication" [11:04] what is your ask? [11:04] telexicon: is there something in my sources.list that looks wrong for upgrading? [11:04] thnx, well i'm trying to install a API of a 3d program(Houdini) [11:05] aburrent: yeah... that tool is MUCH nicer now. [11:05] i do this by typing source hdkinstall [11:05] but, i need to be root [11:05] is there some way to upgrade 6.06 to 8.04? [11:05] tamis: put "sudo" before that command [11:05] so i type sudo source hdkinstall [11:05] yeah [11:05] !enter | tamis [11:05] tamis: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [11:06] aburrent : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardyUpgrades?highlight=%28CategoryDocumentation%29 [11:07] how can I force X to start on virtual terminal 4 rather than 7 (once I've gotten rid of getty on VTs 4-6)? [11:07] oke so the problem is is that sudo source hdkinstall dos not work it say's: command not found (srry for the one liners) [11:07] aburrent: Due to what version you're using... you'll have to 'sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list' and change instances of 'dapper' to 'hardy' and "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" [11:07] zvacet: what exactly specifically is "dapper-updates" ..I don't see any thing called dapper updates in my sources.list...it only says 6.06 updates [11:08] tamis: sudo ./hdkinstall [11:08] fde: ok...where can I get the right sources.list? [11:08] aburrent : I think it means that you have all repos open and updated [11:08] aburrent: I told you how to edit it. [11:09] aburrent: change every case of "dapper" to "hardy"... that's it. [11:09] aburrent : sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [11:09] i try'd sudo ./hdkinstall dos not work either [11:09] fde: you mean I just search and replace? [11:09] aburrent: yes [11:09] fde: there is not a single instance of "dapper" in my sources .list [11:09] fde: oh wait [11:09] tamis: what is the error? [11:09] fde: I'm wropng [11:09] fde : is same risk involved it that option [11:09] tamis: chmod +x the file [11:10] command not found [11:10] *some [11:10] zvacet: I am having him update everything first... then dist-upgrading to try to limit the risk [11:10] i'm all happily upgraded to hardy but I have libgtk1.2 being held back when I update / upgrade what's that all about then? [11:10] fde: risk of what? [11:10] i can only call this command hdkinstall after running houdini_setup wich i think sets enviorment variables maby this is the case ? [11:11] aburrent: breakage... but your version is too old for a safer method... [11:11] fde: I have an image backup of my system so I'm not too worried if it gets hosed [11:11] tamis: you need to be inside the folder [11:11] fde : I know procedure and that is why i ask [11:11] fde: but it would be nice to get it right the first time [11:11] okay, cheese works great for my v4l source... what other programs allow me to switch modes? (on a tuner card, this would be tuner, s-video, etc.) [11:11] aburrent: should be fine. [11:11] how can i thank a post on ubuntuforums.com? [11:11] zvacet: updates-manager -d is basically the same thing... but I'm not even sure if that was an option back then... [11:12] what I meant was, what programs can I use to try out my v4l source? [11:12] zvacet: I tried to take him through the "correct" procedure, and was adamant about it... but apparently that infrastructure wasn't around back then. [11:12] other than cheese [11:12] can anyone tell me what to do to fix where double clicking a file will open it? [11:12] brunner: ekiga or amsn [11:12] thanks [11:13] fde : updates-manager -d is standard procedure to upgrade from dapper to Hardy [11:14] aburrent: I'm going to restart, new kernel... I'll be back in a bit though if you encounter any issues. [11:14] fde: alright...so I changed all instances of dapper to hardy...now I 'sudo apt-get update' and then 'sudo apt-get upgrade' what about [11:14] fde: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade ? [11:14] aburrent: you can try 'sudo apt-get update && sudo updates-manager -d' [11:14] f [11:15] aburrent: That is the Ubuntu mechanism for what I told you... I just didn't think it was around back then. [11:15] anyone knows how to set dns from dyndns in ubuntu? [11:15] aburrent: Just copy and paste :) [11:15] Is it safe for me to use a package while its being upgraded? [11:15] Hi guys! Can someone please help me with a conflict between X-Fi drivers and nVidia 3D-accelerator drivers? [11:16] renard99: if you weren't using it prior, no...

[11:19] ipei, i would guess that its due to creative really really dropping the ball on their linux x-fi drivers. [11:19] homefree83, press alt f2 [11:19] ipei: afaik, X-Fi cards aren't supported, Nvidia should be fine though... [11:19] how I start the file explorer as admin ? [11:19] homefree83, Then type gksu nautilus [11:19] smmagic: gksudo [11:19] Xfi had 62 bit support last i looked.. bit no idea how good it is.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [11:20] Dr_willis: Ok, so I cant do anything then? [11:20] ipei, no idea. Check the ubuntu forums perhaps. [11:21] Dr_willis: Haven\t found anything...

Just wondering if it's a common error? [11:27] can anyone tell me how to install some pc software I have and am trying to use crossover and wine but cant seem to get to work? [11:28] frogscott, is it on the appdb? [11:28] frogscott: sudo apt-get install wine [11:28] frogscott: and then wine setup.exe [11:28] I have wine installed [11:28] N1N31NCHN41L5: Uhh... /apps/nautilus/desktop check "computer_icon_visible" ... but you likely figured that out :) [11:29] wine /path/to/installer.exe [11:29] !wine [11:29] 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. [11:29] ccoffey: remove all non official repositories and software first. [11:29] frogscott: if you bought crossover you have paid support from them ask in their channel [11:29] I just don't get why crossover is better [11:29] Or read the Crossover Docs. :) [11:29] it isnt better it is just esier [11:29] easier? [11:29] ok I will check it out [11:29] Who on this channel is Dutch ??? [11:29] How so? [11:29] smmagic: they have hacks that's not accepted in wine [11:29] and dont use !nl | myname [11:30] well it is kind of a gui [11:30] it wont work, b/c im banned in there [11:30] fde: Dr_willis: Do you know if it exist any other drivers to nVidia cards than nVidias? They might work with the X-Fi driver... :P [11:30] ok i must have a conflict i cant boot ub as when it statrs to boot with the logo it then goes to a dos like screen which is called busty box(bebian) built in shell core then next line (ini ramts) [11:30] so, what percentage is crossover better? [11:30] AfroRowan: This isn't a chat channel... try #ubuntu-offtopic ... there are around 300 people looking to chat :) [11:30] smmagic: on the big whole, wine is better [11:31] fde: you told me to ask and i have and thres been no response... [11:31] Well then crossover is %100 pointless [11:31] ipei, i find it hard to belive the the video card and sound card drivers are conflicting... if you can 'prove' its the sound card drivers. report a bug to the creative web site for the xfi drivers.. Other then that.. No idwa what to do with it. [11:31] ipei: there is 'nv' and 'nouveau' drivers... nv is there by default... nouveux.freedesktop.org for the other, but only supports 2d at this juncture. [11:31] @fde: i need someone who can say to a admin of #ubuntu-nl to talk to me so i meaby could be unbanned... cuz now i cant ask anything there anymore...

[11:31] VSpike: add "syn on" to ~/.vimrc [11:31] VSpike, thats a vimrc config file setting, you may want to isntall the vim-full packages also. the vim-tiny package may not included the feature [11:32] fde: so if a dist breaks and wont boot properly - how do i fix it? it there not a way? [11:32] Im trying to install KOHA on Ubuntu 8.04 dekstop, is there any1 who can assist with walkthrough as the instrucitons i have i cant understand? [11:32] KOHA? [11:32] fde : i need someone who can say to a admin of #ubuntu-nl to talk to me so i meaby could be unbanned... cuz now i cant ask anything there anymore... [11:32] Dr_willis: Ok, why wouldn't it be the X-Fi drivers? Every time I install them the problem occur. Just the nVidia driver alone works great... [11:32] www.koha.org [11:32] AfroRowan: ask in #ubuntu-irc [11:32] AfroRowan: I read, I'm not the person to ask about that... there is #ubuntu-ops I think [11:32] how can I create a network bridge between two ethernet cards? [11:32] is it bad to run 'ldconfig -v -n .' in /usr/lib/ ? [11:32] ipei, report the bug to creative then I guess. [11:33] okay [11:33] well thanx yall [11:33] Dr_willis: Just that the X-Fi driver works alone too >.< But, I report that... [11:33] well any one no how to fix ubuntu boot problems [11:33] sick of reinstalling it [11:33] ipei, report the problem to nvidia and creative then. :) and post a forum post on it i guess [11:34] Jazman: more infor on ur prob would help [11:34] i did earlier [11:34] Starnestommy, Dr_willis : yeah, if I try ":syntax on" it says it's not available in this version, which is normally the case with only vim-tiny installed which is the default... however, installing vim-full would pull in X11, GNOME, and ton of other stuff. [11:34] hello [11:34] Jazman: sorry. just got in [11:34] when it starts to boot with ubuntu logo it goes to a dos type page === ZX81 is now known as m1dlg [11:34] bustybox(debian) built in shellcore [11:34] Dr_willis: Ok...

[11:48] SliderMan: Better yet... at the top, there is a search function, use that. [11:48] nothing in there about the numpad [11:48] also checked key bindings [11:48] RabidWeezle: System > Preferences > Keyboard > Mouse Keys tab, uncheck "Allow to control the pointer...." [11:48] ahhh [11:49] fde, i did [11:49] fde, non of your options is listed there! [11:49] SliderMan: I guess show me the screenshot then. [11:49] there we go babolat [11:49] fde, ok.

[11:49] fde: ok i did that but it didnt save the settings - is there something i need to do before exiting cinfig editor to save what i check??? [11:49] !anyone | Dryrd [11:49] Dryrd: 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? [11:50] SliderMan: Show me with "Noti" typed, and "Window" in seperate screenshots please. [11:50] Dryrd, state the card, state what you have tried so far. state whats not working right [11:50] N1N31NCHN41L5: I'm not even sure where to save session changes in newer Gnome versions actually. [11:50] fde, ok, thanks alot for helping. [11:51] Dryrd, I know my geforce fx 5700 ultra was easy to setup, but that's not to say a newer card is... [11:51] Hey, i misclicked and almost uninstalled Grub in synaptic... how comes it didnt prompt me for any dependency? in the properties it says its still dependent of packages i have (memtest, etc) [11:52] fde: i went exactly where u said gconf-editor and checked the boxes closed out and ctrl alt bkspc to restart x and my settings were gone [11:52] ok its a msi 7600gs and when i look at hardware drivers it shows that the driver is installed and in use but not enable - when i enable it and reboot it either just reboots all the time or black screens [11:52] Adys: didnt quite get that :-/ [11:52] Adys: Synaptic doesn't manage those sorts of things... you'd have to use aptitude. [11:52] fde, it does [11:52] slt [11:52] N1N31NCHN41L5: you have to log out correctly... ctrl+alt+backspace kills session without saving changes. [11:52] at lleast it does prompt for dependencies on other apps [11:53] hello [11:53] Ahh, Dryrd I had kinda the same thing happen, I unchecked the driver, then rechecked it, it redownloaded, then I rebooted, and it worked [11:53] how do i setup a remote session on ubuntu ? [11:53] Adys: It prompts to add, but knows nothing about deps no longer used. [11:53] I recently installed Hardy and tried to connect to my wepprotected internet with Dlink DWL-G650+. I press the networkicon in the panel and puts in my password. It spins for a couple of seconds, then the whole applet disapperas and the capslocklamp on my laptop start to blink (think it measns kernel panic).....

[11:54] aaad: if you had a kernel panic, you would know about it [11:54] i have tried enabling and then re enabling and same thing [11:54] N1N31NCHN41L5: If puppy linux uses Gnome, it'll require the same thing to change settings. [11:54] s/change/save/ [11:54] no - it CAN but im on xorg [11:54] hi [11:55] x1250: Last time it blinked I got messages on blackscreen saying kernel panic [11:55] "apt-get install vnc" ?

I did not use that in gutsy [11:56] hi guys, i have an intellimouse 3.0 and i'm getting some odd behaviour since upgrading to hardy === qense|lunch is now known as qense [11:57] can i do it from slack ? [11:57] how to set a dyndns? [11:57] if we got a dynamic ip? [11:57] SliderMan: sudo apt-get install --reinstall gnome-applets [11:57] please help [11:57] what was changed in hardy regarding mouse configs etc? [11:57] fde, thanks alot. [11:57] fde can i connect to a ubuntu machine from sw12 ? [11:57] SliderMan: do the same with gnome-applets-data also === vova is now known as vova_kubba [11:58] fde, thanks again. [11:58] Hi, when I try to hibernate my system it says the swap is too small, how big does it need it? :| The size of my RAM? === randomcake is now known as RandomCake [11:58] randomcake: max 2 times the size of RAM and recommended the size of RAM [11:58] XDS2007: Sure... System > Administration > Remote Desktop to set it up... Applications > Internet > Vinegre is to view the Slack box [11:58] so max of 8GB? :| [11:59] I don't really need any swap, just want to hibernate really.... [11:59] RandomCake: naturally for hybernation it needs to dump the RAM to disk. [11:59] hello, just upgraded to hardy and don't have xmms any more. installed xmms2 and a few plugins, but it seems to be only text mode... what am I supposed to do in order to have the good old xmms? :) [11:59] so for 4GB of RAM 4GB of Swap [11:59] RandomCake: above twice the RAM it does not serve the purpose anymore as efficiency goes down. [11:59] MarcoPau, get it from source. xmms2 has some front ends in the package manager [11:59] anyone who knows how to fix this problem? dpkg-deb: control directory has bad permissions 777 (must be >=0755 and <=0775) [11:59] how can i register me with the server? [11:59] MarcoPau, thers alternative players also. audacious is close to xmms [11:59] fde small problem im on slax [12:00] eek [12:00] how do I change the size of the swap partition j0be? To be hoest I don't think I need any swap at all, even with Vista Ultimate it works fine with its page file turned off... [12:00] XDS2007: Not a problem, just reverse what I just said... [12:00] XDS2007: vino is server, vinegre is client [12:00] RandomCake: these are all ballpark figures naturally. You can do whatever you want. If you want to change things, you need tools that do disk magic (like you have for windows) [12:00] Dr_willis: so I can't really install xmms as it used to be? [12:01] fde "vino" in new term window ? [12:01] MarcoPau, its been removed from the repos in ubuntu and debian. So not really. its best to start using somthing more updated i guess. [12:01] MarcoPau, OR use the source and compile it yourself [12:01] for everyone: how to fix this problem? dpkg-deb: control directory has bad permissions 777 (must be >=0755 and <=0775) [12:02] RandomCake: don't know if there is a disk size change util avail in ubuntu but must me. I suggest you search for partition magic. [12:02] I'm about to order DSL from AT&T... can anyone give me some tips regarding what hardware I should ask for? [12:02] RandomCake: for desktop usage even if you don't really need any swap i'd still use like 128mb, perhaps in a swap file. behaves better in oom conditions and you can swap out useless stuff like restricted modules. [12:02] Dr_willis: what do people usually do? switch to other players? I felt xmms pretty much like a "must" for ubuntu [12:02] well, linux [12:02] anyone know what was changed in hardy regarding mouse configs? [12:02] MarcoPau, xmms had 'issues' and was showing its age. I havent isedit in ages.. Audacious does all i need. Or i use bmpx [12:02] fde whats the easiest way to do this in terminal [12:03] this kids a bit of a "i want it now" === andreas is now known as iluminatus [12:03] okay, resizing the swap partition, seems really wasteful to have it at 4GB just to hibernate... === Griverrr is now known as Griver [12:03] XDS2007: vnc-server and vncviewer ... read their man pages [12:04] Anyone in here able to help me? I can't log in to GNOME with my normal account, but i can login to gnome-failsafe... I tried to create a new user and login with that user works fine... I'm unsure what to do though... [12:04] RandomCake: yeah. if you have a 30 GB disk indeed. but I bet you have at least 10x as big! [12:04] nah, only 80GB [12:04] I have a 20gb :( [12:05] helo [12:05] fde, do you know how do I fix this problem? dpkg-deb: control directory has bad permissions 777 (must be >=0755 and <=0775) [12:05] In the earlyversions of [12:06] lol, and with Vista taking up 4GB to hibernate it's going to be taking up 10% of the HDD just in swap/page data! :P :( I guess I do have a 320GB external HDD though :) [12:06] any1 get modem workin on Lenovo 3000 c200 ?? [12:06] In the alpha-beta versions of hardy, there was this nifty little mount archive utility, which unfortunately has disappeared, anyone know if it is possible to find it again? If so then where? [12:06] anyone working with a voodoo3 out there? dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg keeps skipping any mentioning of colour depth or resolution and I end up with a very empty xorg.conf....what can I do to get this working right? [12:06] i4x, Just guessing here, but run chmod 755 on the directory? [12:06] Anyone in here able to help me? I can't log in to GNOME with my normal account, but i can login to gnome-failsafe... I tried to create a new user and login with that user works fine... I'm unsure what to do though... [12:07] I don't find amarok working that well together with my iPod, is there something I can do to make it better (faster initialatzion?) or is there any otner client that have last.fm access and supports iPods? [12:07] i4x: try chown 0755 /var/lib/dpkg [12:07] oh well, going to shut down and try and resize the NTFS partition in Windows, the partition editor I've got here can't see all the information on it :S [12:07] i4x: sudo that [12:07] i4x: Why it'd be different, idk though... did you change it? [12:07] smmagic, doesn't work! [12:07] hello does anyone know how to get dialup working in gos i tried to get ppp working by typing it in the terminal but nothing happened [12:07] j0be: i always heard 2Xram 512mb max for swap file [12:07] i4x, Just listen to fde, I'm useless :P [12:08] smmagic: actually, I meant chmod too [12:08] i4x: ^^ [12:08] Whenever something doesn't work for me I just chmod 777 it [12:08] I'm not sure what it does, but it works :p [12:08] Any one have problem with kjournald constantly accessing disk ? [12:08] smmagic, thats a very very scary statement you just said.... [12:08] N1N31NCHN41L5: could be. I thought is was 2x RAM in any case. But you might be right. [12:08] Well, not anything [12:08] smmagic: ls -l /var/lib | grep dpkg should look like drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 2008-05-04 03:00 dpkg [12:08] When I get bad permissions [12:09] /msg ubottu etiquette [12:09] fursund: without the space in front :) [12:09] smmagic, still thats like blowing a whole in the front of the house because you cant be bothered to look for your keys [12:09] /msg ubottu etiquette [12:09] fde, i'm trying for my first time to build a package.. and that gives me that problem when I dpkg-deb --build it!! [12:09] randomcake: I saw some posts already to change the destination of the resume/hibernate file. Check out docs in /usr/share/docs/hhibernate [12:09] hmmm [12:09] hey all, ive had 3 system crashes today, just stopped responding.. is there a log i could view to try and get this sorted? [12:10] I don't find amarok working that well together with my iPod, is there something I can do to make it better (faster initialatzion?) or is there any otner client that have last.fm access and supports iPods?

This is Korea and IE is the only browser they know.So I wanted to create this "recovery CDs" and they did not give me a proper windows OS CD. Now the recovery CD app says that I've ALREADY created these CDs and won't allow me to create anymor [12:24] e. This fking laptop business is worse than M$'s Wanker Grand Arse (WGA).

[12:24] SliderMan: Be sure to tell what caused it... then include those screenshots etc... and file it on gnome-applets [12:24] N1N31NCHN41L5, one normally does not chmod on /dev/ entries.

[12:27] babolat, I am using XUbuntu on my Toshiba laptop (256MB RAM) [12:27] can anyone tell me how much hard drive space i should have to install hardy heron? [12:27] i have sound problems when trying to watch WMV vid? [12:27] xintron: have u been to -->http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=215763 [12:27] what could fix that? [12:27] fde, gosh.. i'm feeling as I spent the time learning how to spend time, thinking I was learning an easiest way to build packages!! thx again the help! :D [12:27] hunger, you could try and reconfigure xorg but i am not sure about dvorak being an option [12:27] SliderMan: sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg [12:28] Dr_willis, not a problem, but i cant understand why i cant use at for something primitive such display "hello world!" in terminal? [12:28] N1N31NCHN41L5, where is /dev/sda3 mounted? [12:28] fde, thanks alot, again. :P [12:28] bazhang, I want to know of others' experience with Ubuntu on this particular model of the laptop (V2000). I have Ubuntu (XUbuntu) on my Toshiba laptop and Debian on my desktop (as a server). Somehow this Compaq one is troubling me. [12:28] unop: I am doing that. I only wonder how to change the console font. [12:28] i need a shell account for psybnc [12:28] i need a shell account for psybnc [12:28] not in root - in / [12:28] GreamBell: go away [12:28] unop: s/font/layout/. [12:28] GreamBell: search for one on google [12:28] i4x: heh... debian developers are great, they're lazy, so they provide things to enable that, and the rest of us benefit :) [12:28] in /dev/sda3 [12:28] hic, the at command (and cron) has NO, NONE, NADA, access to the 'current terminal' at all.. You can set up an at job then log out.. THEn where would it print to? [12:28] i4x: debianutils is full of other such scripts and tools :) [12:28] gutsy_gorilla: best to try the livecd; you can also scan the forums for that laptop [12:29] Ah, etc/default/console-setup has those settings:-= [12:29] GreamBell: theres alot of free shell providers. [12:29] Dr_willis, ok, clear [12:29] GreamBell: www.google.com [12:29] hic, that URL gave examples of ways to make it do so for specific cases.. but dont rely on it. :) thats why at/cron often sends the output via email, or other logs. [12:29] i have installed Xmblackberry when i start the application i'm getting XmBlackBerry.c:OptionPopupCallback(998) - GPRS modem device Not available [12:29] bazhang, and what about the broadcom chip problem? I could not find out the chip before I actually bought the product from Compaq. [12:29] bazhang: how updated do u think is the hardware database that's in the repos? [12:29] N1N31NCHN41L5, /dev/sda3 is the device representing the partition .. but where is it mounted? examine the output of the mount command. [12:29] fde, i get this "gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg is already the newest version." [12:30] bazhang: opted for ndis driver in the end - was easy enough and wireless seems quick and wireless light working so dont see any point trying to get other module working [12:30] gutsy_gorilla: some folks get it working with fwcutter others with ndiswrapper [12:30] i need a shell account for psybnc [12:30] ? [12:30] babolat: it may be a bit out of date but nothing serious [12:30] GreamBell: i already answered your question. [12:30] !ot | GreamBell [12:30] GreamBell: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [12:30] nickthorley: ndiswrapper taints your kernel. [12:30] SliderMan: Then it's not a codecs issue... you can hear sound normally? [12:30] bazhang, I was reading about it on the Ubuntu forums. Anyway, will give it a try. [12:30] thanks bazhang [12:30] In the alpha-beta versions of hardy, there was this nifty little mount archive utility, which unfortunately has disappeared, anyone know if it is possible to find it again? If so then where? [12:30] Dr_willis: is audacious for gnome? I got kde [12:30] fde, yeah im playing a song right now . [12:31] bazhang: then gutsy_gorilla might benefit from checking the hardware database [12:31] hello [12:31] MarcoPau, you can mixx and match gnome and kde apps however you lie. [12:31] MarcoPau audacious is a GTK program. [12:31] nickthorley: So if you should ever want to write a bugreport to kernel.org it will get ignored. [12:31] fde, lmao all the bugs on my ubuntu.. really wierd :P [12:31] babolat: he already has the laptop alas [12:31] SliderMan: For fun, see if it likes other codecs better: 'sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-[bad,ugly]' (copy and paste) [12:31] babolat, I check the repository before buying my comps. However with laptops, EVERY single thing is closed. We do not know what we will get when we order the laptop. [12:31] bazhang: oh well [12:32] SliderMan: If you have installed ubuntu-restricted-extras already, you'll have those though. [12:32] gutsy_gorilla: a little investigating on the Net would suffice [12:32] i need a shell account for psybnc [12:32] gutsy_gorilla: you already bought it correct? [12:32] SliderMan, fde, sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-{bad,ugly} :) [12:32] i need a shell account for psybnc [12:32] Dr_willis: you know any sober player for kde= [12:32] ? [12:32] fde, its trying to install those should i accept? [12:32] GreamBell: your question has been answered several times already [12:32] SliderMan: Could be maybe it's a badly supported codec... [12:32] SliderMan: yes... [12:33] all my extensions are phantom in both versions of firefox now [12:33] fde, ok. thanks again. [12:33] and neither can install any more [12:33] babolat, I did that. There are "versions" of these laptops and all they mention is "802.11b/g" wireless. They do not tell what chip would be used. My other option would be to buy a PCMCIA card [12:33] bazhang, yes I already bought it. === galatnm is now known as fle [12:33] From what I've understood, I need to install libipoddevice and ipod-sharp to get banshee to work with ipods? So, does anyone want to walk me through the process? [12:33] SliderMan: I meant what unop said though... [12:33] lmao bad mirror downloading on 14kb/s [12:33] ok how do i install a package i download to ,y hardrive in tar format [12:33] unop: Thanks, I'm tired... [12:33] gutsy_gorilla: best to get that card working--pcmcia cards are often very difficult to get going and fwcutter has plenty of success stories [12:34] Starnestommy ok [12:34] fde, what? [12:34] !compile | jazman [12:34] jazman: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [12:34] starney ubuntu booted with any thing [12:34] SliderMan: sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-{bad,ugly} [12:34] bazhang, this is the first time I am buying a first hand laptop from the dealer. I bought the Toshiba in the used market. No hassles because there is not Windows tax :P. The dealer will provide a Windows CD for "free" (you know what I mean) [12:34] hunger: i appreciate that but it was either ndis or me not using ubuntu which would have been a shame so i thought it was a compromise worth having [12:34] sorry for my english, i search squid info, i will light it ! [12:34] GreamBell: www.red-pill.eu/freeunix.shtml [12:34] fde, its downloading. thanks. [12:34] bazhang, aha!! understood [12:34] babolat ok thank you [12:35] how do i compile i am new to linux to used of windows [12:35] SliderMan: Yeah, needs { } rather than [ } though [12:35] does it matter what size i make my partitions? should they be multiples of 1024 or anything? [12:35] nickthorley: Well, who reports kernel bugs anyway? ;-) [12:35] fde, it worked with those [] .. [12:35] fde, should i retype it? [12:35] ok /media. [12:35] charlie_: depends on what u use it for [12:35] Hi. I have a problem playng mp3s. In every player I'm trying to use, when I press play, they just don't start and sometimes the program crashes. [12:36] charlie_: make / at least 5 gigs ... make swap at least 1 gig ... /home should be separate and whatever you think you'll need for your files. [12:36] hunger: well i would like to - i didnt want to use ndis but they failed to make it work automatically so i had to. [12:36] ilsignocarlo: u probably need codecs [12:36] SliderMan: I have no idea what it'll be doing with [ ] ... [12:36] i have installed Xmblackberry when i start the application i'm getting XmBlackBerry.c:OptionPopupCallback(998) - GPRS modem device Not available [12:36] kk, cool [12:36] Hi.. does anybody know a program to convert from ogg or other sort of files to mp3? === iluminatus is now known as ilu^afk [12:36] fde, lmao. [12:36] one question to everyone what would i need to do to switch off ndis temporarily to see if my wireless is fixed in updates? [12:36] my swap is currently only 196MB, is that bad? what is it used for? [12:37] soooooo off - /media/Muppy008 [12:37] Found! [12:37] !swap | charlie [12:37] charlie: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [12:37] yey [12:37] My cardreader wont work, what do I need to install to get it to work? [12:37] N1N31NCHN41L5, address the person you are speaking to so they know -- try this. sudo chown -Rv $USER:$USER /media/Muppy008 [12:38] After updating to 8.04 (hardy) sign-in splash screen to large and nearly off the screen [12:38] kakoonia, ffmpeg and mencoder [12:38] SliderMan: Whoa, it tries to install a few too many packages then... you don't need dbg and doc packages though... [12:38] swap is like a page file? [12:38] sorry unop [12:38] .part [12:38] charlie_: yes [12:38] charlie_, right [12:38] fde, i canceled it with crtl +c and then apt-get autoremove [12:38] fde, now im trying the one with the {} [12:39] xintron: intelligent questions imply useful answers. [12:39] how can i find info on setting up my tv tuner? [12:39] unop: You have any idea what [foo,bar] does? why would it grab dbg and doc thigns via that regex? [12:39] unop : Thanks! [12:39] fde, still no sound .. :( [12:40] babolat: I have just tried reinstalling restricted-extras, but it says they are already installed and up to date [12:40] MarcoPau, Sobor? [12:40] !medibuntu | SliderMan [12:40] SliderMan: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [12:40] SliderMan: That repo has 'w32codecs' try that. [12:40] ilsignorcarlo: so u have mp3 codecs installed? [12:40] fde, it means that i cant use them? [12:40] fde, afaik [foo,bar] is an invalid glob/regex .. to glob you need {foo,bar} which expands that into "foo bar" .. in a regex, you'd do something like [a-f] which matches a b c d e or f [12:41] babolat: yes, I have. Also, just some days ago I could play them [12:41] SliderMan: Look at what ubottu told you. [12:41] fde, ok thanks. [12:42] unop: try sudo apt-get -s install gstreamer0.10-plugins-[ugly,bad] <-- note it's -s so will do nothing... it's very strange... [12:42] fde, but allso there is no download links Oo [12:42] (like duh) [12:43] SliderMan: Click "repository howto" [12:43] fde, errm, try these two commands and you'll see clearer perhaps. echo gstreamer0.10-plugins-[ugly,bad] and echo gstreamer0.10-plugins-{ugly,bad} [12:43] ilsignorcarlo: might help if u reinstalled them [12:43] how can i alter resolution and position of the sign-in splash screen. 8.04 (hardy) [12:43] ilsignorcarlo: btw what player are u using? [12:43] fde, only the latter does expansion, the former is a literal -- and apt-get is trying to install a package named "gstreamer0.10-plugins-[ugly,bad]" which does not exist obviously [12:44] unop: I did that... I understand why it's wrong... I just don't understand what apt is doing to result in what it results in... please try what I said... it will be a simulated run. [12:44] babolat: I'm trying with amarok and quodlibet [12:44] Dr_willis: sober... light, easy [12:44] How can I see what hard drives are on my system, even if they are not mounted? [12:44] how can i add a custom resolution in xorg (using 8.04) [12:44] Dr_willis: essential :) [12:45] ilsignorcarlo: do u have xine installed? [12:45] phuzion: Check the directory /dev for [sh]d[a-z][0-9]. [12:45] unrar is supported here? [12:45] i have installed Xmblackberry when i start the application i'm getting XmBlackBerry.c:OptionPopupCallback(998) - GPRS modem device Not available [12:46] frogscott: hi [12:46] fde, eh, i see what you mean .. it selects quite a few packages - scary :) it must be a form of regex only apt understands, afaik, that does not represent any standard [12:46] SliderMan: sure... [12:46] babolat: not sure [12:46] !rar | SliderMan [12:46] SliderMan: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free [12:46] phuzion: The hda is the first ide device, sda the first SCSI on (or newer IDE/usb/SATA). [12:46] phuzion: The numbers are the partitions on that device. [12:46] fde, i got it and im trying to open a file which is password protected. i got the password and its says that the password is wrong! [12:46] ilsignorcarlo: could u check with synaptic? libxine-extracodecs coz its been known to cause this prob [12:46] hi [12:47] unop: It seems to equate to {foo,bar}* [12:47] hunger, and if a drive that should normally be on my system doesn't show up? [12:47] frogscott: you may also message me in private in the channel #PrivateCO [12:47] should you need further assistance with your issue [12:47] SliderMan, the rar for linux may not support all the features. winrar.exe DID work under wine last i tried it. [12:47] Hello my wireless card stopped working and I cannot see it in lspci . This happened earlier as well and fixed by it self. IS this an hardware failure ? [12:47] unop: Could be useful in the future if I want -dev or -dbg stuff, but weird. [12:47] fde, errm, not really .. {foo,bar} is expanded by the shell before being passed on to apt [12:47] hey guys, I have a slightly broken mac osx install and I am trying to save files from it. The problem is that some of the folders don't allow viewing even to a 'sudo nautilus' session, is there a way to copy all the files in those directories given I can't get r/w to the partition? [12:47] phuzion: Then you need to find out whether it was moved around (shouldn't bother linux though) or has a defect. [12:48] Dr_willis wine (yuuuk) [12:48] hunger, well, there's nothing listed as /dev/hd[a-z][0-9], so I'm concerned [12:48] And my /dev/sda5 didn't automount last time I rebooted [12:48] SliderMan, then do without I guess. [12:48] unop: yes... but it's also returning foo-multiverse, foo-doc, and foo-dbg etc... [12:48] SliderMan, 'password protected rar files' - ICK! [12:48] :P [12:49] Dr_willis thanks for the help anyways [12:49] babolat: well, I haven't that package on synaptic, but other libxine packages are installed. libxine1, libxine-bin, libxine-console... [12:49] Dr_willis, wha? [12:49] hello there [12:49] SliderMan, theres been many cases where people have rar archives with such new features. they have to use winrar.exe instead of the command line rar tools in linux. [12:49] i've got a problem, could anybody help me? [12:49] ilsignorcarlo: try deleting .xine from ur Home folder [12:49] !ask | Ton1 [12:49] Ton1: 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. :-) [12:49] phuzion: Nothing under sd* either? [12:49] ^ [12:50] hunger, no, my /dev/sda5 mounted properly after I forced it to [12:50] SliderMan, every time i see an rar archive - it always seems tobe some split up multi part rar that turns into a .zip that then contains a .iso.... :) go figure. [12:50] Ton1: what is your question? [12:50] phuzion: Modern devices turn up as sd*. [12:50] How can I mount a remote smb/cifs share read/write through GNOME? (Ideally _without_ using the commandline?) [12:50] fde, right, i think i understand kinda how .. it's the same as this regex "gstreamer0.10-plugins-[ugly|bad].*" except that you can use a , instead of | to seperate tokens [12:50] (Windows didn't properly unmount the volume last time) [12:50] Dr_willis, when you try to install unrar its works with the archive manager. [12:50] okay. my IDE-harddiskdrive isn't known by ubuntu [12:50] SliderMan, and unrar may not have all the features that winrar.exe has. [12:51] I have 3 physical hard drives, 2 PATA and 1 SATA. /dev/sda5 is my Linux partition and /dev/sda5. [12:51] Ton1: what filesys is it? [12:51] Dr_willis thanks. [12:51] Ton1, perform this command in terminal: "ls /dev | grep hd" [12:51] bablat, does it matter? [12:51] SliderMan, at least with wine and winrar, you can delete the .wine dir every 30 days to get rid of the 'register this' nag screen. :) [12:51] Ton1: Maybe it is visible as sd*? Newer IDE stuff tends to show up under what used to be SCSI. [12:51] i tried this: ls /dev/hd* [12:51] ls: Zugriff auf /dev/hd* nicht möglich: No such file or directory [12:52] Ton1: what about ls /dev/sd*? [12:52] Dr_willis or just download a carck [12:52] not visible as sd [12:52] lmao. [12:52] Ton1, wildcards don't work that way. Try the command I showed [12:52] SliderMan, :) then ya will need a virus checker for your wine! [12:52] babolat: I removed .xine, but still they don't play [12:52] Dr_willis HAHA =) [12:52] phuzion, okay, 1 moment [12:52] Wow, I'm actually retarded, Ton1. Nevermind. [12:53] ilsignorcarlo: amarok needs to be NOT open when u delete it [12:53] I was not aware you could use wildcards in ls [12:53] mind = blown [12:53] hi guys, with hardy suspend on my inspiron 1721 started working. but after waking up 2 of the 4 usb ports are not working anymore. furthermore the system hangs at shutdown and hibernate doesn't work. any idea oder hints where to start searching? [12:53] Ton1: try pastebin this command: ls -al /dev/disk/by-uuid/ [12:53] ubuntu dosent support my chipset where can i get drivers for P4MAM-V ? [12:53] (MSI) [12:53] phuzion: ls /dev | grep hd [12:53] watchdog [12:54] watchdog?? ^^ [12:54] Ok, my videos have a blue screen over it, I can move the video around it, but it does'nt go away, PLEASE, how is this happening. [12:54] Ton1, thats essentially the same thing as what you performed with "ls /dev/hd*" [12:54] I'm just used to piping to grep [12:54] phuzion, but what shall i do? [12:54] Ton1: Try "ls /dev/[hs]d*". That gets both old-style IDE devices and new style hdd devices which all get listed as SCSI. [12:54] which package do you install to get the Firefox Java plugin? [12:55] how well does pastebinit work? [12:55] !paste > jimcooncat I think this pm should tell you [12:55] can someone help me w/ Screen Resolution Settings? I change the xorg.conf files so it can go about 800x600 and then it works, then i restart and it no longer works and goes back to 800x600 [12:56] Saint`Dia: disable desktop effects and try again [12:56] what gfx card are you using anoble? [12:56] hunger, well on "ls /dev/hd*" doesnt appear the hdd i want to see [12:57] thanks danbhfive, I meant the command-line client [12:57] thecage: its a legacy one i think [12:57] Saint`Dia: which player? [12:57] nvidia? [12:57] jimcooncat: hehe, ok, thought it was a typo [12:57] salut [12:57] thecage: yes [12:57] Ton1: That is why I asked you to list both hd* and sd*. [12:57] Hi... how can I format a 4GB SDHC card on Ubuntu? Needs to be in FAT for use in a PDA [12:57] ubuntu dosent support my chipset, where can i get drivers for MSI - P4MAM-V ? [12:58] hi all ... I just plugged in my old logitech webcam... what's the easiest way of making it work ? [12:58] Ton1: using the command I gave, it will list all your harddrives [12:58] chazco: mkfs -t vfat /dev/ [12:58] hi [12:58] hunger, how i get access to, for example, /dev/sda ? [12:58] helloOOOOO! What is the shorcut key to change different desktop? [12:58] basvg, depends on your definition of "making it work". If you mean "drawing power from your computer" then, right now, it does work. [12:59] Is there not a solution without getting rid of the whole reason I use linux? [12:59] Sorry about the 101 questions, but, which Ubuntu are you using, and have you installed the proprietary drivers? [12:59] Saint`Dia: which player? [12:59] phuzion: *lol* I'd like to use it with e.g. amsn... in the docs I only find stuff about easycam2 [12:59] Ton1: sda is the complete disk. Better try to access the partitions on it (sda1, sda2, etc.). [12:59] stefg - Will that do a full format... its currently formatted by Ubuntu struggles to write to it [12:59] babolat: it was closed when I deleted it, but nothing [12:59] legend2440: All players. [12:59] helloOOOOO! What is the shorcut key to change different desktop? [12:59] harris, Control+Alt+[Left/Right] works for me. Not sure about users without Compiz though [12:59] thecage: the graphics card was "not in use" [12:59] and harris, please don't repeat your question repeatedly. [12:59] thecage: im using HH [12:59] harris: ctrl+alt+left, ctrl+alt+right, or ctrl+alt+down [12:59] thnxx phuzion [12:59] Control+alt left and right for compiz, or control+alt mouse 1 [12:59] chazco: it needs to be unmountes, and you need to have superuser priv's. so put a sudo in front [13:00] Saint`Dia: have you tried using a different driver? [13:00] hunger, shall i list all "sd"s my Terminal has found? ^^ [13:00] harris, no problem [13:00] harris: 'windows' + e [13:00] stefg - Okay, will give it a try... not sure if its a Ubuntu issue, a card issue, the HC causing issues. Hoping a format fixes it :) [13:00] Hardy is a bit of a bitch to enable the prop drivers (I have found anyway). Did you see is as "Not Enabled" but still with a tick in the box? [13:00] Ton1: So there are sd*? GReat, you found your drive(s);-) [13:00] legend2440: I have Mplayer Xine IceApe and Gstreamer, It does'nt even play on anything but Xine, and it's all blue, and it happened suddenly. [13:00] thecage, were you talking to me? [13:00] yes, lol ^ [13:00] wooow... that windows + e ROCKS [13:01] thecage: no its enabled just restrting now [13:01] ^ [13:01] sliderman: no I was talking to anoble [13:01] hunger, now i have to find that hdd im search for [13:01] Ton1: You should have the partitions visible in /media... [13:01] ok [13:02] hmmm, looks like easycam2 is the way to go [13:02] If that is not the case you can do "fdisk -l" in the command line to list the partition tables. That gives some hints which drive is which. [13:02] Saint`Dia: open mplayer right click>preferences>video which driver is selected? [13:02] thacage, ok [13:02] Then you can mount the individual partitions manually ("mount /dev/sdXY /some/existing/dir"). [13:02] hunger, you mean "sudo fdisk -l" [13:03] it may still say not enabled after the restart - just brace yourself for disappointment - it has happened to me on a few occasions with hardy! :-( [13:03] Ton1: You might need to give the filesystem though ("-t fs" after the mount). [13:03] bweh, doesn't pick up my cam... oh well... tough luck [13:03] legend2440: I use KMplayer KAffiene Amarok and the basics that came with it. Which Mplayer [13:03] hi iam upgrade from gutsy to hardy... but now i cannot make compiz [13:03] legend2440: Totem? [13:03] Ton1: Aehm... yeah. I don't hold with that sudo bullshit ubuntu insists on doing;-) [13:03] ^^ [13:04] hunger, there are already files on this hdd and i dont want to format this [13:04] Saint`Dia: try kmplayer [13:04] Ton1: Then do not enter any command that starts with "mkfs" ;-) [13:04] Ton1: Aehm... "sudo mkfs" [13:04] hunger, i notice this ^ [13:05] legend2440: That's what I'm seeing the blue screen on, that's what I've been explaining this whole time. [13:05] why is unix putting crazy quesiton marks at the end of my filenames?!!?!?1 [13:05] vanush: because the filenames may contain non-ascii characters [13:05] hunger, okay. on fdisk -l there appears only my both SATA-hdds, but not my IDE-hdd [13:05] vanush: wrong [13:06] vanush: wrong locale [13:06] hello [13:06] vanush: an example filename [13:06] Saint`Dia: yea i know. i'm saying try different drivers such as gl xv xii etc to see if one of them works [13:06] vanush: please (sorry, I hit enter too fast) [13:06] zak [13:07] Ton1: Hmmm... then maybe the IDE controller was not recognized. [13:07] Ton1: I guess you are booting from SATA? [13:07] legend2440: WTF, It's fixed, I guess. It is'nt doing it anymore. Weird. [13:07] Hunger, BUT ... [13:07] BIG weight off my chest. [13:07] AFK till my next problem. [13:08] Hunger ,... my dvd-burner is a ide-device too and when i put in a cd it works [13:08] Ton1: try sudo modprobe ata_piix [13:08] hello [13:08] Ton1: Oh, great:-( [13:09] can u suggest me, can i install ubuntu 7.10 on intel original 845 GVAD2 board for graphical session [13:09] sudo modprobe ata_piix [13:09] [13:10] Is there an "arggh" channel on this server? [13:10] (@hunger) [13:10] ubuntu dosent support my chipset, where can i get drivers for MSI - P4MAM-V ? / or for my ProSavageDDR? [13:10] Ton1: Well, if the DVD works (and is on the same controller) then the HDD should, too. [13:10] Saint`Dia: you can make one :) [13:11] What am I doing wrong? [13:11] # ifconfig usb0 192.168.3.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.3.255 [13:11] SIOCSIFADDR: No such device [13:11] usb0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device [13:11] SIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device [13:11] exco: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[13:11] exco: usb0 does not exist [13:11] hunger, okay. maybe i should try to access sdc? (it appears on ls /dev/sd*) [13:11] Ton1: You might try "sudo modprobe ide-disk". [13:11] so how do I create it? [13:12] usbnet is running [13:12] Hello :) I have a question about 32 bit Firefox running in 64 bit Ubuntu 8.04 if I may? [13:12] Saint`Dia: you are not asking your question in a smart way, that's because you get little help. Having details on hardware, ubuntu-version and configurations would surely help [13:12] Ton1: There is a sdc? I thought you only saw the two SATA disks. [13:12] where you can see ubuntu's version? [13:12] selecta_g: just ask your question [13:12] hi folks. what about java 6 support for amd64? [13:12] Tuju: lsb_release -a [13:12] hunger, "sudo modprobe ide-disk" nothing happens [13:12] stefg: I'm asking about pirate channels, Incognito, geeze. [13:12] !verson | Tuju [13:12] ack [13:12] Factoid verson not found === gnomefre2k is now known as gnomefreak [13:12] !language | hunger [13:12] hunger: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

Please take this discussion elsewhere or abstain from it altogether. This includes linking to pirated software, music and video. Also see !guidelines and !o4o [13:13] hunger, sdc,sdd,sde and sdf but i guess this are my Card-slots :P [13:13] bazhang: Huch? What did I say? [13:13] Hi. What is the difference between apt-get and aptitude? [13:13] i upgraded to 8.04 and now Firefox32 will not connect to the internet ("Problem Loading Page")... The 64 bit Firefox still works OK and I cannot for the life of me figure it out [13:13] no such command [13:13] aptitude is the front end I think. [13:13] no such command ls_release -a [13:13] MartinCz: aptitude is smarter [13:13] MartinCz: aptitude has a few more commands and it has a better interactive interface [13:13] Tuju: you typed it wrong. it's "lsb_..." [13:14] what about java 6 support for amd64? [13:14] How do I search for a package in aptitude? [13:14] no such command lsb_release -a [13:14] !java > rdw (read the private message from ubotu) [13:14] !o4o [13:14] MartinCz: aptitude search packagename [13:14] Some things are inappropriate for #ubuntu. Controversial topics, which always turn into flame wars: war, race, religion, politics, gender, sexuality, drugs, questionable legal activities, suicide are not for here. Microsoft software in ##windows (Please note Freenode Policy) [13:14] Ton1: Still no /dev/hd* after the modprobe? [13:14] yesterday I just ran [13:14] - modprobe usbnet [13:14] - ifconfig usb0 192.168.3.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.3.255 [13:14] - iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth1 -s 192.168.3.2/32 -j MASQUERADE [13:14] ah, he heard me wrong over phone....

[13:14] MartinCz: aptitude search [13:14] exco: stop pasting in the channel, read what ubottu has told you [13:15] Whats the deal with error 13 in ubuntu ? [13:15] exco: The bot is going to close down on you, watch it. [13:15] XDS2007: grub error 13? [13:15] when trying sudo apt-get install * [13:15] XDS2007: please specify [13:15] XDS2007: For GRUB? [13:15] mmm grubs [13:15] !aptitude > MartinCz (read the private message from ubotu) [13:15] XDS2007: that's right after error 12 and before error 14 B) [13:15] "sudo apt-get install "packagename" [13:15] MartinCz: aptitude search packagename [13:15] thanks guys. [13:15] hunger, is modprobe a right command of ubuntu ? there is nothing happening when i enter that command === puffy-san is now known as centralnoise [13:16] Ton1: it outputs nothing if it works [13:16] im trying to help a kid on the other side of the world guys , some tact would be helpful [13:16] ton1 modprobe what [13:16] Ton1: modprobe does not produce much output:-) [13:16] Does a user need to be logged in as root ? [13:16] hunger, aaah, okay ^ [13:16] !doesn't work | XDS2007 [13:16] XDS2007: no [13:16] XDS2007: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [13:16] in order to use apt ? [13:16] XDS2007: no, but the command must be prefixed with "sudo" [13:16] Ton1: Try "lsmod" for a list of installed modules. If modprobe did not complain then the newly loaded modules should be in the list there. [13:16] XDS2007, sudo apt-get whatever whatever [13:16] fail [13:17] has anyone ever imported outlook express email messages into Evolution ? [13:17] Dr_willis: fail [13:17] error 13 [13:17] MartinCz: aptitude and apt-get when searching are the same its when you have depends and broken packages is when its "smarter" but alot of work has gone into apt-get to make it do some things that aptitude does [13:17] XDS2007: "fail" is unhelpful. Pastebin the actual error [13:17] hello! i have a problem with my webcam and amsn! the picture is only black but in ekigo it is normaly : [13:17] "are you logged in as root" [13:17] XDS2007, I think you need to be asking a better questiion then. [13:17] Carbonflux: that's a pita and usually involes thunderbird on win and linux [13:17] hunger, on fdisk -l there are only the two s-ata-devices still. [13:17] XDS2007: we need tons more info as to what went wrong that is very non-descriptive [13:17] me too ;) [13:17] sorry, jrib, I can't find what ubottu has told me [13:17] XDS2007: You should direct them at this channel if they're using Ubuntu. [13:17] XDS2007: was the command prefixed with sudo? [13:17] XDS2007, sudo apt-get install cowsay [13:17] :) [13:17] exco: use paste.ubuntu.com to paste things, don't paste in the channel [13:17] hi [13:17] SS yes [13:17] gnomefreak, aptitude when searching you can know if u have the packaged installed or just downloaded [13:17] ok. [13:18] Ton1: Hmmm. Are you sure your IDE HD is still in good working order? I only ever saw something like you got with a dead drive. [13:18] so how do I create usb0 (or what causes creation?) [13:18] stefg, so I import them into TB on windows and the move then to linux and export them from TB in linux ? [13:18] XDS2007, one normally 'updates' with 'sudo apt-get update' and then 'sudo apt-get upgrade' befor installing new stuff also. [13:18] fserve: yes i know but not really a big differnece in IMO [13:18] : ) [13:18] hello! i have a problem with my webcam and amsn! the picture is only black but in ekigo it is normaly : [13:18] but it makes me use aptitude. [13:18] Carbonflux: yes, basically.... the complex part is the address book [13:18] i'm having trouble connecting to NET using HUAWEI E220 3G modem on ubuntu 8.04, it was working fine on feisty. [13:19] Ton1: That is assuming that the IDE controller is recognized and works, but with DVD on the same controller that seems likely:-) [13:19] hunger, ^^ i think some part of this ide-hdd is encrypted with "TrueCrypt" on my Windows-hdd [13:19] stefg, thats the easy part in a way, I don't see any way to import TB email into evolution tho :( [13:19] musa did you try waxing the modem? [13:19] fserve: i use apititude most of the time when dealing with non development versions [13:19] what is channel name for crossover? [13:19] frogscott: #crossover [13:19] Rabid: waxing ?? [13:19] Ton1: That does not matter. The drive should be visible, even if you encrypted everything incl. the partition table. [13:20] Carbonflux: thy both use mbox, so you can pont evo directly to TB's files [13:20] stefg, thanks for the information tho :) [13:20] that would be the one [13:20] Thing is... I have a Smartphone plugged in using usb, I'd like to ssh into that box... but today I have no usb0 all of a sudden... [13:20] hunger, i try 1 DVD [13:20] * gnomefreak goes back to work [13:20] stefg, ya I have does that for a few important things but for a massive inbox its kind of night mare ;) [13:20] done that* [13:20] Ton1: Is that DVD on the same controller? [13:20] Carbonflux: as i promised: a pita [13:21] Ton1: Does the HD spin (does it make noise)? [13:21] same cable. i dont know whether its the same controller [13:21] Hey, i have mounted a software raid on the hardy live cd (mdadm), is it possible to install hardy on it with the live cd? [13:21] frogscott: #crossover [13:21] Hi. I wanna install Ubuntu on my macbook, but Boot Camp has a serious bug which causes a kernel panic when you try to partition your drive. Is it safe to partition my HFS partition with the included partition manager? [13:21] ya, I have found the whole email situation on all platforms really bad stefg, I think the focus is on mobile devices or something [13:21] Ton1 one cable, one controller. [13:21] Can anyone offer advice re: Firefox32 not working in 8.04 (it worked before i upgraded). Now, 32 bit Firefox says "Problem Loading Page". 64 bit Firefox works fine [13:21] hello! i have a problem with my webcam and amsn! the picture is only black but in ekigo it is normaly : [13:21] Ton1: Does the DVD still work if you put it in place of the HD? Are master/slave set up correctly on both DVD and HDD? [13:21] pac1, then 1 controller [13:21] bardyr: possible, but i'd rather use the alternate CD [13:22] BTaylor: if you are single booting ubuntu yes; dual booting may be a risk though [13:22] how do you configure at what time of day anacron is run? [13:22] jrib: i am told sun-java6-jre is the latest version [13:22] hunger, i try to look for the hdd and it's noise, mom .... [13:22] Well Ubuntu has worked on this machine before, but that was when boot camp would let me partition. Is the partitioning app non-destructive? [13:22] rdw: isn't that what you wanted? [13:22] how do i clean the swap par`? [13:22] stefg: yea me 2, but that is not possible atm [13:23] Ton1, what are you trying to do? (I got here late.) [13:23] I'm wondering what the name of the app is, that you see all the ubuntu vs. windows vids with the icons that move around and all that? Anyone know what I'm talking about? [13:23] Ton1: My guess is a hw problem then. [13:23] when i run java --version i get Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build Blackdown-1.4.2-02) [13:23] Ton1: Does it work using another OS? [13:23] !multijava | rdw [13:23] rdw: To set which java version/implementation is to be used as default, use sudo update-java-alternatives [13:23] Saint`Dia: cairo dock and the likes? [13:23] pac1, i try to get access to my ide-hdd on ubuntu [13:23] hunger, on windows, it works [13:23] BTaylor: you should look into refit; but that is an apple issue; while gparted *can* work, if you want to dual boot you are taking a risk with that method [13:24] exco: I want some desktop icon effects, to that degree. [13:24] bardyr: you have to mount the array to /target and and pit possible sub mounting points in place there. the you have to trick the installer into thinking he has done his partitioning [13:24] Ton1: Hmmm... I am running out of ideas then:-( [13:24] ^^ [13:24] sweet [13:24] thansk [13:24] bazhang: I actually have refit installed [13:24] Saint`Dia: I know of Cairo Dock (use it myself) and Kiba Dock... [13:24] hunger, should i try to reinstall the controller? [13:25] exco: Is it impressive, I'm all about looks. [13:25] stefg: hmm, okay. is there anyway i can install the alternative installer? [13:25] ton1, are you using a ide card for this? [13:25] Ton1: Will probably not help with linux:-| [13:25] Saint`Dia: that's a shame, isn't it? [13:26] pac1, this ide-controller is on my motherboard [13:26] bardyr: won't help much, because the Desktop CD doesn't have separate packages (as the alternat has) but just a filesystem image. [13:26] Ton1, then you can't reinstall the controller. The controller is one of the chips on the motherboard. [13:26] pac1, and the dvd-burner on the same controller works well [13:26] how does one update ubuntu repos via command line ? [13:27] XDS2007: sudo apt-get update [13:27] pac1, okay ^ [13:27] have you checked that the ide drive is set to "cable select" [13:27] Hmm, apparently the kernel panic issue is due to fragmentation...Is there an app that will let me defragment my HFS partition from within ubuntu? [13:27] hunger, but thank you for helping [13:27] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook BTaylor [13:27] no, i think my hdd is jumpered as master [13:28] (@pac1) [13:28] Ton1: Sorry that we were not more successful. Check master/slave settings on the drive again, maybe that helps... [13:28] bardyr: if you have no way of using alternate or a minimal CD for a netinstall. it'sprobably easiest to install to a non-raid space, set the array later and move the system over then [13:28] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=539692 and problems with that BTaylor [13:28] Ton1: I can't find your actual question... but libata (thus /dev/sd*) is used for both ATA and IDE hard drives [13:28] "unable to unlock the list directory" [13:28] Dear god, Opera *and* Firefox are incredibly glitchy (on my computer).

(I'm on Ubuntu right now) [13:29] :) [13:29] whats the deal ? [13:29] fde, how do i use libata? [13:29] ChaosTheory_: It is not the browser, Adobe products simply are buggy on Linux, and there is nothing we can do other than bother them, and create our own alternatives. [13:29] stefg: i don't have any free cd's and need to install this today :/ [13:29] unable to unlock ? [13:29] hi is there a good a good antivirus out there for linux (excl. avast & clamav) [13:29] XDS2007: close add/remove or synaptic and try again [13:29] Ton1: You don't... heh... the kernel does. [13:29] Baby_Shambl3s: you dont need a anti virus [13:29] Hello folks, I've just installed the newer ubuntu over fedora, and the settings such as firefox's bookmarks, wallpapers and even my files in my old desktop. how is possible???? how is called that resource ???? [13:29] graphic relate issue? slow scroling trough system mozilla desktop effect? help?anyone? === SeveredC1oss is now known as SeveredCross [13:30] pac1, how should i try my jumper-configuration on my dvd-burner and my ide-hdd on the same controller?

But now when I minimize my applications they don't appear minimized on the bottom new panel, and I think they terminate. [13:30] it shows ???? ????? in ls -l ~/ [13:30] Any help with this, please? [13:30] Ton1: your IDE hard drive (if you have 2 SATA drives) should be /dev/sdc* [13:30] amikrop, you need add something [13:30] extranoob_help_n: please state your issue with some more info thanks [13:30] bazhang: synaptic update && synaptic install "appname" ? [13:30] bardyr: yes i do for my win machines [13:30] fde, okayyy ^^ [13:30] fserve: what? [13:30] amikrop, i dont remember the name, task... [13:30] hey i have a 37:55min video I need to host online for my friends to watch, I wanted to upload it on GoogleVideo but it seems not to accept .m4v files (the video encoding in iMovie!!) can anyone help me? (I'm on Ubuntu right now) [13:31] also df gives an error about some stupid 'gvfs endpoint not ready' or some bullshit like that [13:31] bardyr: so make a temporary 3-5 GB partition and install the Desktop CD to that. once that's done prepare the array, copy everything over, adjust fstab and grub.. [13:31] pac1, are you still alive?

[13:33] im already on minimal effects [13:33] i dont have an /etc/mail folder [13:34] like basic with ubuntu 8.04 [13:34] Ton1, I usually let the cable select sort things out. Generally, it doesn't matter which drive is master and which is slave. That's old terminolgy and no longer really says what's really going on. [13:34] fde can you tell me how to encode it with which command line, and which codec should I use to preserve as much quality as possible (while not inflating the video size too much since it's already 735 MB)) [13:34] extranoob_help_n: bad behave in system is not enough info [13:34] gapagos: ffmpeg -i whatever.m4v --vcodec mp4 whatever.mp4 should work and be a format suitable for youtube [13:34] unlink: Check /etc/crontab.

It does not matter which is which you can boot from either one. But you do have to tell the controller which is which. They both can't be 0. They both can't be 1.

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 :) [14:03] i tried to compile the aurora gtk engine [14:03] i mean the m4v [14:03] I can't copy my existing system, either, as that is a full install and it won't fit onto the 2GB flash drive [14:03] is there a makefile in it? [14:03] fde: well i've struggled with this before (mounting hotplugged ext3 formatted drives using usb) on both ubuntu and debian. i'll probably open a bug on launchpad at some point. thanks anyway [14:04] jrib i tried to compile the aurora gtk engine [14:04] buna [14:04] how to instal default ubuntu drivers for graphic card (i messed up with envy now disble and unistal all) [14:04] IntangibleLiquid: oh that's cool - so... speed wise, is it better than windows? [14:04] gapagos: That just means that one of the gstreamer codecs CAN read it :( [14:04] sorry,I will thanks for the info @fde [14:04] jrib and the excelcior gtk engine [14:04] Jrib: it wants to uninstall 630 programs [14:04] fde so is there a way i can get the codec for ffmpeg? [14:04] jrib from gnome-look [14:04] hardware drivers ati drivers unthicked and not in use [14:04] Jrib: is their a way to downgrade all programs on my system to meet the older libc6 requirements [14:05] as84, it consumes less resources (ram, cpu). For power consumption I think both are relatively the same [14:05] buna [14:05] how to rewert to default settings on ubuntu install? [14:05] I added defoptions=vga=791 to menu.lst but when I run update-grub it brings menu.lst back to before me editing it. Am I missing anything? [14:05] imho it's all APPLE'S FAULT for using such LAME codec formats [14:05] gapagos: nope... follow what ubottu is about to tell you though, and get w32codecs and mencoder from the archive: [14:05] TJ13820: pastebin exactly what you did and all the output, the output of 'apt-cache policy libc6' and your sources.list [14:05] as84, firefox and openoffice run pretty fast in ubuntu as well [14:05] !medibuntu > gapagos [14:05] IntangibleLiquid do you mind I PM you, I just had some questions before I go for install [14:05] jrib any idea? [14:05] is anyone able to help me with fbpanel here please? [14:05] will it help if I start crying :-P [14:05] well, I am moving my girl friend from Windows to Ubuntu heh, wish me luck ! ;) [14:06] as84, sure, but I'm no guru though [14:06] Goodluck! [14:06] xenomorph99: i see. so the standard linux-image-server-generic should actually be the right kernel, but i'm not familiar enough witht the alternate-instllaller to be able to tell why it fails to recognize that [14:06] :) [14:06] :P [14:06] x_zeuss: did you read the INSTALL file? [14:06] Carbonflux, Is she techically inclined or are you sure you want a new girlfriend? [14:06] jrib yes [14:06] lol pac1 [14:07] stefg: The alternate CD will install linux-image-generic ... the server kernel is linux-image-server [14:07] Carbonflux: Truthfully, how many girls you see in here. [14:07] x_zeuss: pastebin all the commands you ran in your shell after untarring and the output you got [14:07] pac1, my gf is totally not technical in any way, but she finds ubuntu a LOT easier to use. [14:07] pac1, to be serious I have been preparing her for a while, its just her copy of XP is more rootkit then OS anymore [14:07] how to enable default ati drivers in ubuntu 8.04 [14:07] http://pastebin.com/d25be2ea3 [14:07] Saint`Dia, well, they hide, so its hard to tell, ;) === tomaw is now known as tomaw_ [14:07] extra_noob_need_, tick the drivers in the hardware manager.

[14:08] jrib just when i do the make command [14:08] Carbonflux, windows is like that. [14:08] hi guys, my linux box encountered several attempts blocked by firestarter from the same IP address trying to TElnet, and access port 8080 as well as 5100. I'm using port 5100 as my torrent port. Is it a sign of attack? [14:08] x_zeuss: pastebin please [14:08] hi all... some problem with mouse scrolling... any help? [14:08] Saint`Dia, Vista is fine, but it won't run on her laptop [14:08] I can see where you are coming from but I don't know enough about the installer process. I think you're saying that it's either checking that the kernel is compatible with the hardware or that it needs some 'extension' for it to work with this CF/IDE combination and can't. That'd make sense why I can install 8.04 to my HDD but not to the IDE/CF [14:08] sall all [14:08] IntangibleLiquid, if it's the port your torrent app runs on, then probably no. [14:08] romanian people [14:08] ? [14:08] its not that simple i used envy to instal new drivers, gl support was poor i got advice to uninstall envy and unthick drivers [14:08] !pastebin > x_zeuss (read the private message from ubotu) [14:08] Carbonflux, be sure to leave her a way to get back to windows if she ever needs it.

[14:09] fde it says Package w32codecs is not available, but is referred to by another package. [14:09] gapagos: you went to 'repository howto' and sudo apt-get update 'd after?

[14:09] jrib ok, i'll pastebin [14:09] fde: no, it works [14:09] IntangibleLiquid, how long ago did you close it? It can take up to a few hours in my experience for trackers to recognize you're no longer there. And i have no idea about telnet. It's not there by default on ubuntu so that should be safe. [14:10] buna [14:10] as84 sorry, I'm trying to look for your pm [14:10] ~test > fde thinks it doesn't [14:10] hey, I have really strange problem: when I edit and save my PHP source, gedit adds strange ^M$ symbols at every end of line. How to make gedit add only \n symbols? [14:10] hischild, I havent since yesterday. Been like this for a while. [14:10] jrib: yeah... it doesn't. [14:10] Hi all, does anyone here have any experience with fbpanel? [14:10] !test > fde thinks it doesn't [14:10] jrib: Helps when I type it right [14:10] Does the installer use the BIOS? I mean, can I try to frig what the CF is "to the bios" to fool the installer? [14:10] i need a way to instal drivers that come with ubuntu 8.04 by default when i 1st time instal system [14:11] TJ13820: this is hardy's libc6? [14:11] Saint`Dia, heh, well I think 8.04 can do what she needs which is mostly email and web, I do professional C++ dev so I sort of have to run it, I am happy with Vista now that I understand what they are doing but Ubuntu is getting really good, I have run it for a while for my "net" computer and OS dev, I think its ready for someone how just emails and web [14:11] can anybody help me? [14:11] jrib: i think so [14:11] if the interface usb0 doesn't exist anymore ALL OF A SUDDEN - how do I recreate it? [14:11] romanian people [14:11] ROMANIAN People exist here??? [14:11] TJ13820: so all those packages that are being removed, did they get upgraded to hardy versions too? [14:11] Carbonflux, my wife is now using OpenOffice on windows. She complains when it's not the same as office. Still I've offered to install MsOffice for $149 student teacher edition. She's chosen to save the money so far.

THey have to be able to use libc6 with hardies version [14:12] hello? [14:12] Jrib: i should just upgrade to hardy then [14:12] IntangibleLiquid, that's odd. I doubt it's a real sign of an attack though. [14:12] as84, can you join #asus instead? we can talk privately there [14:12] pac1, is it a desktop computer with a bit of ram? you could try virtual box and just install XP inside that for word, and of course you get it working with wine if its a older version [14:12] gapagos: sudo apt-get update ... I was trying to signify past tense while not messing up the command. [14:12] IntangibleLiquid, i don't think you getting my PMs [14:12] I run XP inside of this linux machine all the time [14:12] Carbonflux: Now, I will tell you, I started with ubuntu on dozens of comps, 8.04 is the first one where -everything- worked out of the box, I'm loving that. [14:12] it has 2gig tho [14:13] hey can anyone help me on updating a package [14:13] jrib http://paste.ubuntu.com/9974/ [14:13] TJ13820: well if you didn't make backups already, you should. Then you have the option of trying to complete the upgrade to hardy or just reinstalling and restoring backups [14:13] Carbonflux, great idea. hadn't thought of that. [14:13] fde, i ran for past tense? [14:13] Carbonflux: Well, for me. [14:13] Saint`Dia, I just loaded it on this laptop, it detected everything, including the display :) [14:13] hischild, thanks, I'm just a bit worried [14:13] jrib: i'll just upgrade to hardy. then i should be able to get build essentials to install and it should be fine and dandy. [14:13] thank you [14:13] hello? [14:13] IntangibleLiquid, no need to be. Ubuntu is so far one of the best os's i've had. No crashes, no other wierd stuff. [14:13] am I muted?

[14:21] gapagos: typing '/string' searches [14:21] IntangibleLiquid, it'll comfort you to know that firestarter blocks it unless you allow it, so you're safe.

[14:49] vanberge: I have the latest Pidgin in hardy, and the minimized windows blink when someone responds and the window is minimized...

[14:50] vanberge: I haven't really played with settings, I simply installed pidgin-libnotify and it pops up a tooltip stating someone said something and what they said... [14:50] rubikcube without -f it gives the error http://rafb.net/p/AA6tTY88.html [14:50] mysterycool:That is wierd that it is doing that, pidgin was doing that when I was using gutsy, but as soon as I upgraded, the problem was resolved.

[14:52] Deeps, my company gave me the home computer too. I bought a Toshiba laptop to act as a downloader and a webserver because it is quiet. I bought another laptop with decent specs.

[15:31] I think there is... where you set it to default, you do the same export there if you want [15:32] I didn't and it worked like a charm [15:32] ldiamond the look is different, themes and some other things [15:32] Saint`Dia-> you use fdisk to format to a particular type then use mkfs to put a filesystem on it [15:32] the sync's resolutions all that, like feisty used to do [15:32] Help - I'm trying to "Try Ubuntu without any change to your computer" and when it boots it asks for username/password.

Just edit download path and you gill get list of versions [16:37] yes stbain i kill the process, but this is not a solution [16:37] If I do Alt-F1 I can get the drop down menu and open apps etc, but not via the mouse [16:38] ok... thanx U [16:38] jasmuz: yes, now I am asking that you try using /dev/sdb1 instead of UUID=blah [16:38] RC_: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2390 [16:38] stbain: well thank you let me see how to deal with it ... [16:38] anyone know of a relatively secure ftp service which can be installed on ubuntu ? I have heard that ftp itself is pretty weak but I still need to give remote access to files on the server and don't want the user to go through ssh [16:38] arek123_: if you hit the "X" button, it closes only the user interface, but the rule is still active. if you just want to hide it in tray, the click on the tray icon once [16:38] matthias_N: Actually, I think installing unrar will do the trick [16:39] jasmuz: thank you will try that if not possible in my own archive manager , thanks [16:39] thanks astro76 [16:39] arek123_: what game are you running? WC3? [16:39] Prose, vsftpd? [16:39] luca, evolution and evolution-data-server are tied to all kinds of things.. just uninstall evolution and see if the data server goes away.. [16:39] Keitai:Thanks... I'm running Diablo 1 [16:39] matthias_N, do that so you can extract rar in the archive manager [16:39] hello, is it possible for me to have both php4 and php5 running in ubuntu feisty?

[16:41] I have just installed Hardy on my Ideapad Y510 and the screen goes dim when it should go bright and goes bright when it goes dim...... whats going on??? [16:41] which package now gives me qp_xml (python) with ubuntu 8.04? [16:41] jrib, it did mount without any errors... but i still cant get the permision for any user to access and modify information [16:41] iRRVi, openarena, tremulous, ... check out www.getdeb.net in their game section [16:41] what filesystem and mountpoint could/should i use for the remaining unused space that would be accessible both to ubuntu and xp ? [16:41] k [16:41] thnx [16:41] jasmuz: did you use chmod/chown to set the permissions you want? [16:41] hi is there any good software for managing cybercafe with ubuntu ? [16:42] to control the desktop clients [16:42] anyone else seeing the screen not wake up after closing the lid with ubuntu 8.04? [16:42] mushtaq: check out Kubuntu's kiosk mode [16:42] hello. i want an advice for a server. is better to install ubuntu server edition and add a desktop environment to it or is better to install ubuntu desktop edition and add lamp and other things needed to it ? [16:42] biabia: probably NTFS, although ext3 is possible with a windows driver, mountpoint doesn't matter, but an example: /media/share [16:42] albuntu: depends on what you're going to be using it for. Is this for development or production? [16:42] jrib, nope.. im kinda dumb regarding permissions, wouldnt it be easier if fstab loaded it so.. i placed the "default" option on load, wich translate to "users" [16:42] stbain but it require thin clients am i rite ? [16:43] mushtaq: no [16:43] stbain: production [16:43] albuntu, if you want lamp is easier to install server and add desktop [16:43] arek123_: nkay. should work but I will be here for some time. so you can ask me later on, too [16:43] albuntu: server then desktop then [16:43] astro76: ok ill go with NTFS so I wont have to mess with a driver. thanks! [16:43] jasmuz: no, it doesn't work that way. Did you read the link I gave you earlier about permissions? [16:43] hi, have a problem with xen3.2 and winxp. when i try to install winxp, i get the following error message: Boot from CD-Rom failed: could not read the boot disk [16:43] FATAL: No bootable device. [16:43] stbain and scunizi thank you [16:43] np [16:43] jrib, could you resend it.. i couldnt open it [16:43] !permissions > jasmuz (read the private message from ubotu) [16:43] Keitai: I need to forward ports on my router too? [16:43] stbain: better gnome or kde ? [16:44] both albuntu [16:44] albuntu the one you like [16:44] arek123_: yes, both settings are required [16:44] albuntu: Not that it's any of my business... but if it's for a production server, why are you installing a GUI on it [16:44] why even have Gnome or KDE? [16:44] arek123_: port forwarding on your router as well as allowing it in your desktop firewall [16:45] jrib, thanks.. so by setting the permissions would do? [16:45] Keitai: do i need setup a static ip? [16:45] jasmuz: yes, on /mnt/virtual [16:45] my gnome power manager applet disappeared when I rebooted my laptop. How do I get it back??? [16:45] astro76: also this is the 4th partition (and largest, using all remaining space) , the other 3 being primary. should i make this one logical? so i could alter it later? [16:45] jrib, uh? [16:45] !paste [16:45] 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) [16:45] biabia, you can only have 4 primary so yeah make that logical [16:46] Hi everyone just wondering if anyone knows of a fix with the mouse having a mind of its own in hardy haron [16:46] Hello all [16:46] jasmuz: you set the permissions on /mnt/virtual, the mount point [16:46] Is anyone having problems with evolution? [16:46] biabia: that's a good idea [16:46] i have aproblem pliz [16:46] Jericom: All the time [16:46] hwilde and astro76 thanks :) [16:46] arek123_: in your router? I don't think so, but well I don't know every router model. like I said before most routers will also work with host names [16:46] biabia: that way you can shrink it later and add another logical [16:46] It crashes constantly [16:46] fiyawerx: So, thanks I looked for vsftpd and it seems quite fine. I will go ahead and install. thanks for your reply:) [16:46] jrib, thanks.. [16:46] let me try [16:47] i have ubuntu slackware and windows in boot . all working fine and when i had update slackware kernel i cant boot with it i have a kernel panic saying that i need to fix "root=" !! who can help pliz ?

[16:50] i can always run command line instrad [16:50] kelvin911: there is a workaround there [16:50] arek123_: and if your router requires an IP instead of a hostname, you can use your current IP by invoking ifconfig [16:50] anyone here using banshee? [16:50] jrib, done! i set the permission to the mount point like this, and its all done: sudo chmod 667 /mnt/vault/ [16:50] astro76: in the partitioner [16:50] !photo gallary [16:50] Factoid photo gallary not found [16:50] jasmuz: you want 777, not 667 [16:50] not maple 9 [16:50] !photo album [16:50] astro76: the install partitioner [16:50] Factoid photo album not found [16:50] jrib, how come?

[16:51] benny269: yes [16:51] kelvin911: the last paragraph [16:51] last night i install maple11, it doesnt show anything but somehow i run it couple times it shows me gui [16:51] biabia: or use the gparted livecd [16:51] hey guys, how do you install kde, on ubuntu, is there a kde-install-all package in the spm?

Then save the file, and make it executable. Understand? [16:59] arek123_: ??? Those are two independent things... Firestarter does not "forward" ports, but allows traffic to them locally.

[17:09] no like when i touch the screen in the middle the pointer (arrow) is like top left [17:09] how can I reinstall the drivers for my graphics card? [17:09] white_eagle: check the bug tracker. There was a very similar bug in gutsy (and it had workarounds in the comments) [17:09] Well that kills my theory of using restricted drivers :P [17:09] crescentmoon: Asus-something-or-other... not sure [17:10] can I update the firmeware for my graphics card? [17:10] so when i touch screen it reads my input wrong...i think i need calibrate it but dont know how [17:10] white_eagle: and where is the bug tracker [17:10] I'm using restricted drivers for graphics tho. [17:10] white_eagle: bugs.ubuntu.com [17:10] drock12: no idea, seems to be a problem with the laptop, did you drop it while installing hardy?:-D [17:10] hmmm, I wish somebody had writter a calibration program for that [17:10] Yeah usually restricted drivers fix my little "nuances" if you were running a creative card i would definitely say that was the problem, but integrated.... not sure [17:10] serena: I wonder about the firmware update but drivers can be reinstalled either in the synaptics packet manager or with aptitude/apt [17:11] el_taco: I'm betting it's something to do with the ALSA configuration. But for now, I'm satisfied with just cranking everything up except for one app... Ventrilo under Wine. Some people come through just great, others come through too quiet to hear. Very odd. [17:11] jrib: thank you, I will search for it now [17:11] i would if i knew what file needs to be changed but yea im kinda new to linux [17:11] serena: search for "xorg-" [17:11] the only thing you can do as far as I know, is play with the Minimum/Maximum X&Y values on the XORG [17:11] simonft:no.... it in same spot it was in when i installed it ...just did it when i upgraded [17:11] Keitai: I have the X1300 Intel driver and I am running Hardy on an Ideapad [17:11] o so whats that calibrates it?...

[17:33] hmm [17:33] Mudassar: why would a proxy be default? The defaults are for commonly needed things. [17:33] CShadowRun: I have the same problem too [17:33] shady, o i wasnt in the dir [17:33] so whats the solution? :P [17:33] i thought 8.04 is lts and so it's better then 7.10. but i have to say that it isn't better at all [17:33] I'm using a 8600GT [17:33] Simonft: my friend brought over the alternate cd and it didnt work either, im over at my friends house and his dad is a computer technition and a computer programmer and he still is confused as to why it wont work [17:34] I need to know, how can I share my internet connection with the windows users ?

[18:22] xenomorph99: sounds like a similar problem I had trying to get 8.04 on my Dell Poweredge 2450s.... boots off hte CD then can't find the CD drive to install the packages. My solution was to install Dapper (Ubuntu 6.10) and then do the upgrade over the network. [18:22] it now works fine! [18:22] now i have to reconfigure the audio and i will be home free [18:22] You had to go back to go forwards? ;-) [18:22] how do I unzip lots of files in a directory -- kind of like: for {*.zip} unzip $ [18:22] kakalotsai, go to system->preferences->software sources in that case and enable the restricted and multiverse repositories [18:22] for the solution, please go to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=709161 and read post #5 [18:22] ok [18:23] sls: unzip *.zip [18:23] lets me try [18:23] hydrogen: I'm an ubuntu user. Where could I ask elsewhere? #haxx000rz? For now, it's for cheating. But if I wouldn't have told the reason, it'd be a technical question. [18:23] kakalotsai, in 8.04 that happens automatically [18:23] sls: for file in *; do unzip $file; done [18:23] inukshux: No, it would be off topic still [18:23] jrib thanks [18:23] sls: better: for file in *.zip; do unzip $file; done [18:23] !ot | inukshux [18:23] inukshux: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [18:23] does anyone know why i am not getting audio?

[18:25] qman__: Yes, replacing the CD drive can solve the problem as well. In my case, wasn't another slimline available and the BIOS doesn't support booting from a USB stick.

It goes to a black screen and just freezes, anyone else have this problem? [18:25] heh [18:26] what wrong? [18:26] I upgraded from dapper to HArdy without problems..except that my external ntsf HD didn't get mounted...any idea? [18:26] xenomorph99: hrmmm.... try installing in a different machine and then transferring the IDE compact flash over? [18:26] hydrogen: unzip doesn't work like that [18:26] kakalotsai, hmm, i got a german system here, probably i translated wrongly, what do you have in the system menu ? [18:26] I don't have n machines lying around ;-) [18:26] unop, i think my problem was the scim method input. i had the keyborad configured for english and my locale was portuguese. i disabled that in the SCIM. do you think it was that?

Funny thing is, when using finale 2007's native soundfont engine I got no prob. How can I tweak either timidity or jack [18:34] or qsynth or [18:34] wine to stop the crashes? Should I increase my soundcard priority?

How do I make it ONLY come from the soundcard? [18:58] nox-Hand: do you have gdm installed? [18:58] benovic: recordmydesktop [18:58] andreiutz: it was working and this 'fix' disabled it? [18:58] ommegang: what guest are you trying to install? [18:59] what archiver do you guys recommend for RAR files? Archive Manager doesn't have RAR support apparently O_O [18:59] MachinTrucChose, use winrar [18:59] MachinTrucChose, apt-get install rar [18:59] MachinTrucChose, it does. Install rar. [18:59] I know there are tons, I'm asking for the generally recommended one [18:59] bits: i cant even get vbox installed hardy 64bit. [18:59] MachinTrucChose: 'rar' and 'unrar' [18:59] !rar | MachinTrucChose [18:59] MachinTrucChose: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free [18:59] igama: that one is shareware [18:59] MachinTrucChose: You have to install the support. [18:59] !info unrar-free [18:59] unrar-free: Unarchiver for .rar files. In component universe, is optional. Version 1:0.0.1+cvs20070515-1 (hardy), package size 40 kB, installed size 124 kB [18:59] MachinTrucChose, there you have it... [18:59] :) [18:59] ommegang: try using the 32-bit compatibility pack and then install vbox [18:59] is alan here? [18:59] bazhang, I think so. I am not sure. After I had installed Hardy the wireless networked could be accessed trhough the start menu. Now the wireless option had disapeard. [18:59] bits: where would i get that [18:59] ommegang: you can't run 64bit guests in vbox at the moment, as far as i know [19:00] !unrar > MachinTrucChose (read the private message from ubotu) [19:00] MachinTrucChose: Archive Manager is just a wrapper for various archiving methods. You can install support for rar with sudo apt-get install rar. [19:00] can't remember the package name, sorry [19:00] Traveler02: huh? [19:00] Is there any way to run two copies of sound-juicer? One for each cd drive. [19:00] andreiutz: what does ifconfig return; three entries or two [19:00] bits: i am trying to get the virtualbox program installed on ubuntu 64 not virtual machines [19:00] vbox seamless is awesome [19:00] i just downloaded the 8.04 i386 desktop installer but when I start the installer it hangs. I reran the installer without the quiet flag and it seems to be hanging when it gets to squashfs...any ideas??? [19:00] hello! i have installed samba and system-config-samba but when i try to run it it says that '/etc/libuser.conf' does not exist... what to do? [19:00] neeto: but the description says it's shareware. What happens after my 40 days are up? [19:00] I put a 2ndary HD in my machine. How do I get it to show up ? [19:00] My sound comes from the speaker inside the computer AND the speakers connected to the soundcard. How do I make it ONLY come from the soundcard? [19:00] what is the package neame for gnome mplayer? [19:00] neeto: Yes. [19:00] I do not wish to use GDM. [19:00] bazhang, 2 entries: eth0, lo [19:00] MachinTrucChose, use the one from the repo's. [19:00] this is on older hardware [19:00] !md5 | ghostz [19:00] ghostz: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [19:00] !info unrar-free [19:00] unrar-free: Unarchiver for .rar files. In component universe, is optional. Version 1:0.0.1+cvs20070515-1 (hardy), package size 40 kB, installed size 124 kB [19:01] minerale ... how do i exit without menu bars?? [19:01] right, so once I apt-get install unrar-free, Archive Manager will be able to extract RARs? [19:01] ommegang: i understand. there is a compatibility pack you can install into 64-bit ubuntu so that you can run 32-bit programs. I suggest you use it. [19:01] i already verified the md5 [19:01] ommegang, but virtualbox 64bits is in virtualbox site to download [19:01] andreiutz: Just search for it in Synaptic. [19:01] MachinTrucChose: don't install winrar... install rar from apt-get... I don't think it will have a problem even if it is non-free... I haven't anyway. [19:01] ommegang: I gave up on using 64bit ubuntu anyways [19:01] ghostz: did you testdisk in the startup window [19:01] iGama: good call. [19:01] MachinTrucChose: unrar-free is limited. Use "unrar" [19:01] ommegang: you see iGama's post? [19:01] YaroMan86, what is synaptic ? [19:01] My sound comes from the speaker inside the computer AND the speakers connected to the soundcard. How do I make it ONLY come from the soundcard? [19:01] bits: yeah i used the package from the site, i have 4gb of memory what do i lose besides ram on 32bit? [19:01] ommegang: dpkg lacks good multilib support... you should go with the 32bit version. [19:02] andreiutz: does lsmod -a show the module for taht [19:02] nox-Hand: if you don't want to use gdm, then I can't help you, keep asking, sorry. [19:02] bazhang, i'm not sure how to testdisk...i didn't see that as an option on the boot [19:02] Dvyjones: php5-mysql, mysql-server, mysql-common, mysql-server-5.0, php 5 are the packages installed... [19:02] ommegang: vms currently support up to 3gb ram (something to do with PAE) [19:02] andreiutz: System -> Adminitration -> Synaptic Package Manager [19:02] neeto: Thanks for trying :) [19:02] allright, I used unrar. Thanks guys. [19:02] bits: i mean i have 4gb of ram in my system, 32bit os only sees what 3gb? [19:03] any other ideas [19:03] is there a way to find what program keeps doing a lot of disk activity? [19:03] ommegang: sorry, i'm not focused. i'll stop polluting the air wave [19:03] ommegang: 3.6gigs, and 64 bit can see up to 8GB I believe.. [19:03] ommegang, it will see 4gb [19:03] hi, I'v just installed kde-desktop, hoe do I get into it? [19:03] articwolf: switch to the consle alt-f1 [19:03] ok 3.6 [19:03] neeto, 64 goes quite a bit higher. 32bit sees max of 4 minus a few things. [19:03] european: at the login window, click "Select Session" and select KDE [19:03] articwolf: there login, and then reboot via: % sudo reboot [19:03] Hello [19:03] ommegang: using PAE, you can see a whole lot more ram than juts 3.6gb, but with a minor performance hit [19:03] hischild: righto then :D [19:03] YouTube videos are slow! [19:04] Ashfire908, take a look at System Monitor [19:04] howdy all [19:04] if the md5 is correct, the cd verifies (which I had just looked over...it's running now) then is there any other possible causes for it to lock up at squashfs [19:04] woddf2: is it your connection speed or the actual rendering of a fully downloaded video? [19:04] MachinTrucChose: thanx [19:04] so on a live boot of hardy64 virtualbox installs and i can start it, but on hdd install a no go [19:04] monkeypaw201: Check the php.ini (/etc/php5/apache/php.ini) file, there should be a line that says "extesnion=mysql.so" (sans quotes) or something similar [19:04] bazhang, after #lsmod -a I get this output:Usage: lsmod [19:04] i need an expert on dvd roms mine will only mount cds [19:04] and it just locked up at squashfs on the integrity check [19:04] My sound comes from the speaker inside the computer AND the speakers connected to the soundcard. How do I make it ONLY come from the soundcard? I have a HP Compaq dc7100 with Ubuntu 8.04 [19:04] neeto: The video is slow, but the sound is mostly fine. [19:05] wood: are you using 100% CPU when playing the video? [19:05] can anyone tell me how to mount ntfs in linux [19:05] MachinTrucChose: Er.. [19:05] Dvyjones: ok, i have it open [19:05] *Er... [19:05] nickellery, is there a way besides paing through open files and guessing if they are being written to [19:05] woddf2: do you have flashplugin-nonfree installed? Some of the other swf rendering engines don't seem to like youtube or flash games [19:05] vicky123: Should be seen in the computer screen of your file manager. You can mount it like any other partition. [19:05] neeto: I am using Adobe's version. [19:06] woddf2: what's your distro? [19:06] woddf2: basically I had the same problem on my old computer. There's just no decent flash player, even the official one uses much more resources than on Windows (particularly if you full-screen). [19:06] off late, it seems that firefox does not share sound with other apps. i.e: if i have firefox session open during which i had, for eg, played a youtube video, any concurrent session with sopcast or rhythmnbox etc does not play sound.. [19:06] neeto: I am using Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Hardy Heron. [19:06] has anyone had and freezes during install of 8.04 [19:06] hey im having this problem in 8.04 where music will not play, i have the restricted extras installed. has anyone heard of this issue? [19:06] neeto: all flash plugins seem to use way too many resources [19:06] I managed to make a bootable USB Hard Drive with ubuntu, however, it boots on my laptop and not my PC. On my PC, it simply launches Grub's command line. Why? [19:06] woddf2: x86 or 64bit? [19:06] neeto: at least in my experience [19:06] can anyone tell me if i need to recompile wine .61 to remove it since there is nothing to cd into but it is still installed and no matter what i try it wont go away [19:06] Ashfire908, I would assume that anything with high RAM usage would be the culprit [19:06] neeto: x86 [19:07] Bits: yeah :/ I wish it was OSS... we could make it so much better [19:07] anyone know where netstat is located? ie: /usr/bin/netstat ? [19:07] minerale ... ok rebooted ... it still does not have menu bars at top or bottom just the desktop icons displayed [19:07] nickellery, high ram usage does not mean high disk usage. [19:07] matthew_: it's in /bin [19:07] ArticWolf [19:07] is it possible ion red hat 4 [19:07] Yarakyo ... yes??? [19:07] ArticWolf: Press Alt+F2 and type in gnome-panel [19:07] woddf2: pm me [19:08] how to private chat in irc,pls help me [19:08] IndyGunFreak: I have tested a bit, and the sound comes from BOTH the speakers plugged in to the motherboard-soundcard, AND the system-speaker inside the computer. How do I disable the computer inside the computer? [19:08] type /msg then nick [19:08] sini: Firefox 2 does not work for me, took me a little while to fix my flash plugin [19:08] Dvyjones: ok, i have it open and i see extesioon=msql.so and its commented out [19:08] kakalotsai: /msg nick [19:08] monkeypaw201: Not msql, mysql [19:08] articwolf: you could delete your gnome settings to reset them: in the command line do % rm -rf ~/.gnome* [19:08] !netstat [19:08] Dvyjones: i have no idea. [19:08] kakalotsai: You need to be registered [19:08] Factoid netstat not found [19:08] anybody has got problem with Intel Wireless 3945ABG? [19:08] is anyone having a problem sharing sound between apps with hardy? i.e: if one app has used sound (even if it is not using sound at the moment but has in the past) and another app is launched, the second app does not have any sound [19:08] kbrosnan, strange... [19:08] Dvyjones: ok, i found mysql.so and thats commented out too [19:09] ok [19:09] kbrosnan, is adblock able to block those ads? [19:09] thanks all [19:09] monkeypaw201: Uncomment it, then restart apache [19:09] Dvyjones: ok [19:09] Yarakyo ... i got Run Error ... The command "gnome-panel" failed to run: .. Failed to excute child process "gnome-panel" (No such file or directory) [19:09] krbosnan, or flashblock? [19:09] iobelix: you are probably using dsp to render sound... do you have alsa installed? [19:09] why move to 8.04 at all? gutsy seems fine..... [19:09] sini: i would think so, i don't use it [19:09] ArticWolf: I realize I messed up. Without the gnome-panel Alt+F2 won't work. Right click on the desktop, create a launcher, give it any name, with the command gnome=panel [19:09] neeto, yes i do have alsa installed [19:09] Bits: gutsy is awesome. [19:09] but hardy is better [19:09] IndyGunFreak: how so, in a nutshell? [19:10] Articwolf: ... the gnome panel software is gone? [19:10] plz tell me [19:10] Starnestommy, hmm, it is, but I can't get it to work with my sudoers file, any ideas? [19:10] vicky123, Red Hat 4 is quite old and no longer supported AFAIK. Time to upgrade. [19:10] iobelix: I was having this problem before, I think there is a way to force firefox to use alsa... hold on [19:10] Bits: mostly in the area of hardware detection.. [19:10] IndyGunFreak: have it installed on vbox and not that impressed, all considering [19:10] IndyGunFreak: aha, that would explain it ;) [19:10] Bits: if your hardware is detected well under Gutsy, you won't see much difference, just updated software. [19:10] then suggest me any other [19:10] neeto, thanks, i was hoping it was a firefox only problem rather than a pulseaudio thing! [19:11] Bits: but people w/ broadcom wireless devices, several newer atheros devices, etc, will tell yhou hardy is better [19:11] iobelix: you are using pulseaudio? [19:11] IndyGunFreak: i'm a relatively new linux user, and 1 thing i've learned so far is: if it works, don't fix it. [19:11] ArticWolf: gnome-panel should return your panel to you... but if it can't find it, you might have a bigger problem. [19:11] Bits: eh, thats just opinion, i like hosing thinsg and fixing it..lol [19:11] i install Ubuntu restricted extras,why i can't play mp3 music in ubuntu [19:11] Dvyjones: is there a quick command to restart apache? or do i need to do it through services? [19:11] neeto, well, i am mostly positive that i am, is there a way to be certain? [19:11] IndyGunFreak: i pity your wasted time ;) [19:11] I upgraded to hardy, and my wireless died...I can't figure out how to get it working [19:11] If I changed my computer's hostname under System > Admin > Network, changing it under the "hosts" tab, rebooting, then when I pull up a terminal, I noticed it still says @ instead of the new hostname. Why is this? [19:11] vicky123, there is a #fedora channel here. That is the place to ask about Red Hat and Fedora ("free" Red Hat). Any of the modern Linux distributions should support NTFS mounting. [19:11] kakalotsai: Does normal sound work? [19:12] kakalotsai: It's more reliable to sudo apt-get install gstreamer* [19:12] I tried installing ndiswrapper but I'm not sure I did it correctly [19:12] i use Rhythmbox 0.11.2 [19:12] neeto, because it is a hardy install, i thought pulseaudio was defaulted in hardy [19:12] Bits: its not bad really, i rarely have issues, every so often, i had problems w/ gutsy.. wireless, and intel sound device, which all works perfect under hardy. [19:12] monkeypaw201: sudo /usr/sbin/apache2ctl restart [19:12] monkeypaw201: I can tell you the wrong answer: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart [19:12] linux is linux is linux [19:12] Yarakyo ... i got abiword window open titled gnome-launcher.desktop [19:12] bruenig: so is linux linux? [19:12] yes, i my sound card will work [19:12] jpastore: its easy to install ndiswrapper, just run the installer package :P [19:12] Dvyjones: thx [19:12] yes, i my sound card still work [19:12] kakalotsai: sudo apt-get install gstreamer* will install the correct codecs. [19:13] I installed ndiswrapper card was recognized but I cant connect ...... I wait on ubuntu 8.10 [19:13] excuse me, but I have one hell of an issue here: I tried to upgrade from gutsy to hardy, and the computer froze while downloading the upgrade, and now everything is rather messed up. Upgrade Manager is of no use, telling me to do a "partial upgrade" and then saying that it can't go from hardy to gutsy (downgrading?), and to top it off, Nautilus seems to be broken, hence my booting into KDE. Any ideas, aside from a total fresh start? [19:13] anyone know how I could let www-data use sudo netstat -tlp without a password? [19:13] iobelix: if it is, I didn't know :/ configuring pulseaudio sucks bigtime [19:13] IndyGunFreak: only issue i've had so far is an unkillable flickering on nvidia when compiz is activated (remains even after uninstall of compiz) [19:13] The sound from my computer comes from BOTH the speakers plugged in to the motherboard-soundcard, AND the system-speaker inside the computer. How do I disable the computer inside the computer? === Surlent is now known as Surlent777 [19:13] IndyGunFreak: err not compiz but the settings manager [19:13] Whoever asked about hostname ---> http://www.cpqlinux.com/hostname.html will help you a lot. ;-) [19:13] his package depends on some commonly used packages in the Ubuntu multiverse repository. [19:13] Installing this package will pull in support for MP3 playback and decoding, support for various other audio formats (gstreamer plugins), Microsoft fonts, Java runtime environment, Flash plugin, LAME (to create compressed audio files), and DVD playback. [19:13] Please note that packages from multiverse are restricted by copyright or legal issues in some countries. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/licensing for more information. [19:13] kakalotsai: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [19:13] neeto, i still do think though that is a firefox only problem [19:13] neeto, because other apps do not seem to compete for sound [19:13] Bits: i've heard that issue before.. ive never had it,.. but i've heard about it, i've never had a problem w/ my nvidia devices, since edgy [19:13] iobelix: I am looking up the command I used to fix this a while back [19:13] neeto, let me confirm that [19:13] I have been noticing that wine is only useing 1 core of my dual core cpu. Is there any way to make it take use of both cores? [19:13] monkeypaw201, I installed it from sanaptic, but I'm not sure that it's loading...I followed the instructions from a website and I got back the that using the update modules command was deprecated [19:14] Surlent777, so what does this command give you now? lsb_release -a [19:14] monkeypaw201, how do I check to see if it's running properly? [19:14] IndyGunFreak: that's the only (petty) reason i'd have to upgrade at the moment [19:14] kakalotsai: No, seriously, if you sudo apt-get install gstreamer* and restart your system, you'll get working MP3 playback. [19:14] Yaro: This is what I do. [19:14] someone help me? [19:14] YaroMan86, no need to restart. [19:14] kakalotsai: Listen to Yaro. [19:14] ok [19:14] iobelix: try aoss firefox & [19:14] thanks [19:14] jpastore: just do this... remove it from synaptic, download it from their website and run the installer, thats the easiest and most reliable way [19:14] Bits: see, and thast another thing, i never upgrade, always clean install, i've read enough horror stories here about "Upgrades Gone Wild" [19:14] hischild: I wish I could agree, but a lot of the time some apps won't notice the codecs until you do. [19:14] unop: No LSB modules are available. [19:14] Distributor ID: Ubuntu [19:14] Description: Ubuntu 8.04 [19:14] Release: 8.04 [19:14] Codename: hardy [19:14] Surlent777: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [19:15] sorry bot [19:15] IndyGunFreak: thanks for tip 8) [19:15] YaroMan86, any halfdecent app will recognize it. If not, it'll ask you for it. [19:15] I have NDISwrapper saying that my device is present, and no alternate drivers are being used, can anyone help me as to why it isn't showing up under ifconfig or iwconfig? [19:15] are people really this dense that they have to post 10-12 lines in a channel w/ 1500 people? [19:15] hischild: Mostly I've had issues with Amarok recognizing it without a restart. No bigiie. [19:15] neeto, yes i just confirmed, it is a firefox only thing. mplayer and rhythmbox do not compete for sound [19:15] iobelix: righto, try aoss firefox [19:15] i have a trouble [19:15] neeto, ok [19:15] Dvyjones: ahh, same error [19:16] Surlent777, try this command twice and post the results to a !pastebin (don't paste in here). sudo aptitude install -f [19:16] kakalotsai: What's wrong? [19:16] does hardy come with new socks? [19:16] monkeypaw201, thanks...I might install it all together ...reading my intel card uses a iwl driver and trying to figure out how to get that to work [19:16] monkeypaw201: Then i dont know [19:16] why doesn't munin work on ubuntu 8.04? [19:16] I'll fall back to ndis if it fails [19:16] alright I am attempting to install 8.04 i386 desktop using a cd...i have verified the md5 and attempted to run the cd verifier on the installer but both the verification and the installer seems to hang at squashfs...i removed quiet and splash from the install string so I could see where it was getting to [19:16] * Bits just noticed the smell ;) [19:16] iobelix: tell me if it works [19:16] The following packages have unmet dependencies: [19:16] gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse: Depends: libmjpegtools0c2a (>= 1:1.8.0) but it is not going to be installed [19:16] E: Broken packages [19:16] Netham45, i have a nice ndiswrapper checklist and walk-thru if you want? [19:16] YaroMan86, so far amarok works fine for me after i play a file in movie player. (double click goes to movie player, then install codec, then back to amarok with it's database) [19:16] I'm on the live cd right now, and I have seem to forgotten my admin password on my hard disk, how would I go about changing it? [19:16] any ideas on what could cause it to hang [19:16] SeaPhor, sure. [19:16] Yaro,can you help me? [19:16] neeto, o it sems i do not have alsa-oss installed, if i do install it will it mess up pulseaudio for me you think? [19:16] kakalotsai: sudo apt-get install -f gstreamer* [19:16] i am able to try any suggestions [19:16] diefordethklok, there is no admin password, only a user password. [19:16] diefordethklok: lol.... try guessing :) [19:16] YaroMan86: why not just medibuntu to install all th codecs you want? [19:16] Netham45, join me in #SeaPhor [19:16] Dvyjones: ok, now when it restarted apache it said: Could Not Determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1 as ServerName .. could that effect it? [19:17] Well my admin user password hischiild. [19:17] diefordethklok: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/2177 [19:17] diefordethklok, chroot into the system and issue this command. passwd [19:17] IndyGunFreak: Medibuntu works well, too, yes. Though you don't need it. [19:17] how to manage my contacts on ubuntu? [19:17] still have error [19:17] how to install rpm? [19:17] diefordethklok, chroot in, then use passwd to change it. [19:17] iobelix: hopefully not, but if it does, you can switch everything using pulseaudio over to alsa anyway, since that's the more sane way to deal with sound (I hate pulseaudio) [19:17] YaroMan86: true, you don't, but i always use it to install google earth [19:17] !alien | con-man [19:17] con-man: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) [19:17] i use ubuntu 7.10 [19:17] con-man, use need the redhat package manager [19:17] con-man, just don't. [19:17] monkeypaw201: No, that is just that the ServerName directive isn't set (which isn't affecting anything unless you run multiple apache servers) [19:17] kakalotsai: Its a little hectic in here. can you PM me? [19:17] diefordethklok: Or listen to what unop said, but if you require further explanation go to the URL above. [19:17] neeto, ok i am going to try that. thank you very much! [19:17] ok [19:17] iobelix: for sure dude [19:17] in short, don't [19:17] find anotherway [19:17] has anyone had the 8.04 installer hang [19:18] Dvyjones: what should be the extension_dir in php.ini? [19:18] Yarakyo ... you there [19:18] any help would be greatly appreciated [19:18] * Bits writes down diefordethklok's solutions.... "could come in handy"... [19:18] con-man: what are you tryin to install that you want to use an rpm for? [19:18] whats the best ftp program in ubuntu ? [19:18] !ftp [19:18] FTP clients: !Nautilus, !gFTP (for !GNOME) - !Konqueror, !Kasablanca, !KFTPGrabber (for !KDE) - See also !FTPd [19:18] I have an rpm I need to install so I cant ¨just dont [19:18] ghostz: mine did... I would do apt-get dist-upgrade from the command line [19:18] ghostz, i can't help but if no one in here is able to give you an answer [19:18] !sudo [19:18] post to the ubuntuforums, and wait paitiently [19:18] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. [19:18] con-man: what program? [19:18] someone shouldb be able to help [19:18] monkeypaw201: Mine isn't set, still, it works [19:18] con-man: What is the RPM of? Why can't you get a source file and install it from source? [19:18] IndyGunFreak: VMware-player-2.0.3-80004.i386.rpm [19:18] kFj_, there is no best .. best is what suits you and accomodates your requirements. [19:18] unop: it tells me the following: 0 packages upgraded/newly installed, 17 to remove and 597 not upgraded. Then it tells me that I need to get 0B of archives, and that after unpacking 8729kB will be freed. Do I want to do this? [19:18] xq: VMware-player-2.0.3-80004.i386.rpm [19:18] con-man: you don't need a freakin rpm for that [19:18] neeto, I don't have a previous install [19:19] >.< [19:19] con-man: Get VMWare's source and install it from source. [19:19] ghostz: are you installing from a CD? [19:19] or install it from the repositories [19:19] crunchybumble, are you saying you can help or not...sorry slightly confused on that [19:19] Dvyjones: ok, cause it works on the Ubuntu 8 (my desktop) its just the laptop thats ubuntu 6 and doesn't want to work.. [19:19] Surlent777, well, i wont say yes or no without looking at that paste as it could be dangerous [19:19] con-man, they supply a .deb for ubuntu based systems as well. [19:19] Which Vmware version is ok for ubuntu 8.04 [19:19] con-man: I believe VMWare even has a .deb file. Ever checked out VirtualBox? :-) Tons of users love it, it's in the repos! Jus search in Repositories. [19:19] iknow that. but im looking for user opinions.. as to what mostppl are using etc? [19:19] grzesiek: whichever one is in the repos [19:19] neeto, yes I'm installing from cd and I have verified the md5 hash and when I run the cd integrity check it sticks in the same place [19:19] !poll | kFj_ [19:19] kFj_: 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. [19:19] If I change the hostname of my computer with System > Admin > Network, reboot, why then does uname -a still list the previous hostname? [19:20] how to save my friend nick in my IRC chat? [19:20] unop: it is quite a flood of info. Let me try one of those pastebin things [19:20] con-man try `apt-get install vm-ware' or w/e the .deb package name is [19:20] hischild: I was on their site I couldnt find a deb [19:20] !pastebin [19:20] 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) [19:20] ghostz: that's a shame... are you running it from a windows box? [19:20] SWN: http://www.cpqlinux.com/hostname.html [19:20] con-man, i'm sure they do supply one, i've had it before. [19:20] next login i will see them [19:20] ? [19:20] SWN: Use that, don't use your GUI ;-p [19:20] Surlent777: lol, you only had to get kicked 2-3x to consider pastebin.. impressive [19:20] con man , look it up in synaptic [19:20] ghostz: or did you boot into the livecd to install it? [19:20] crunchybumble: I did === nox-Hand is now known as FnuggleMaster [19:21] neeto, yea it's a plain white box that was running clarkconnect and I was just doing a clean install from the ubuntu cd and I tried the live cd part but it hung too at the same spot [19:21] unop: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10031/ [19:21] con-man [19:21] is there someone that can understand the jailkit error : " May 4 19:57:12 localhost jk_chrootsh[17918]: abort, path /home/chrootusers is setgid [19:21] May 4 19:57:12 localhost jk_chrootsh[17918]: abort, path /home/chrootusers is not a " [19:21] do you know what repositiores you have available? [19:21] is there any program that will allow me annotate pdf files in ubuntu [19:21] ? [19:21] Can anyone help me? I just installed Ubuntu and I'm curious how to extract zip files [19:21] Thanks guys, now I'm not locked out of my system :) [19:21] crunchybumble: multiverse and universe [19:21] farajamo: double click on them [19:21] farajamo: Just right click and hit extract [19:21] err that too [19:21] diefordethklok: what worked? [19:21] diefordethklok: No problemo. Have fun. [19:21] What's a good tool to turn ogg vorbis to just a 'standard' avi or mpeg? [19:21] how do you register on here? [19:21] ghostz: when you boot into the livecd, try this: sudo apt-get cd /dev/cdrom0 or whatever your drive is called in /dev/ [19:22] xq: Thanks, I saw that, and I noticed that my /etc/hosts file does have the change. But uname -a still returns the previous hostname. If it's not possible to do with the Network GUI, why is it an option there? [19:22] !register > monkeypaw201 (read the private message from ubotu) [19:22] farajamo, you can double click from the desktop, or you can use gunzip from the command line [19:22] neeto, before the clarkconnect install that I did as a brief test it was running 7.** server [19:22] Surlent777, ok, go ahead and say yes for now .. but pay attention to any developments .. if in doubt do ask. [19:22] ghostz: err not apt-get, apt-cd [19:22] It says "Archive not supported"... It's off a CD, and it's a 7-zip [19:22] SWN: Sometimes the GUI doesn't update across the board. Did you restart by chance? [19:22] neeto, I'll try the live cd now...one sec [19:22] !7z > farajamo (read the private message from ubotu) [19:22] ghostz: alright [19:22] hi, when i boot up the ubuntu hardy x86 alternate cd on my computer, the keyboard doesn't work - any ideas why? it works fine in the installed copy of gutsy [19:22] Surlent777, let me know when you have finished here .. there might be more to do. [19:22] SWN: Did you issue the hostname ? [19:22] Now, to another question, does a lexmark x9350 work in ubuntu? I have looked on openprinting but I don't see it listed [19:22] hi, i need help with partition problems... making my ubuntu read only... Could someone help? [19:22] secleinteer: can you pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf? [19:23] SWN: And then check the /etc/hostname file? ;-) Was that correct as well? Then it does require a restart. [19:23] Alright, I'll try. Thanks guys [19:23] neeto: no, because i can't get past the language selection menu [19:23] didiefordethklok , i'd be surprised, if you don't see it [19:23] unop: Now I'm back at the command line. Should I run that command again? [19:23] neeto: or do you mean my xorg.conf in gutsy? [19:23] lexmark products, in my experience, are difficult to make work [19:23] secleinteer: is it a USB keyboard or a PS2 keyboard? [19:23] amenado, hey bro,,, after upgrade thru the update mamnager and configuring the wireless, worked for about 2 hours then lost its settings and couldn't get it back,,, so just now i fresh installed 8.04 and config'd ndis and the if and its working again but don't know how long, we'll see [19:23] neeto: ps/2 [19:23] Surlent777, yes [19:23] but that's something i'd google or look up on ubuntuforums [19:23] neeto, it seems to be hanging at squashfs again just like the regular installer [19:23] helix: during boot, as it counts down 3... 2... 1 ... hit a key... then hit 'e' and add 'ro' to the line... then 'b' I think to boot to the system... [19:23] :( , I guess I still need windows vista. [19:24] i ran wubi and i think it had a problem with my preivus grub setup so now its not loading up my buntu image,whats up? what do i edit in grub.1st? to fix this? [19:24] diefordethklok, dude, use the money you saved on your OS to get a new printer [19:24] :) [19:24] SWN: Actually don't restart just issue the command /etc/init.d/hostname.sh start [19:24] fde, on the grub menu you mean? [19:24] ghostz: ok, try this in the terminal... sudo apt-cdrom [19:24] helix: yes. [19:24] SWN: That will make the change active with no need for your restarting. [19:24] xq: I did restart, and like I mentioned it did change /etc/hosts, but I didn't use the hostname command. The /etc/hostname file has the old name tho--why isn't the Network program smart enough to change it to? [19:24] I guess I'll look at a cheap hp. [19:24] neeto, from what terminal...i can't get to a terminal [19:24] Is there a program for linux to create thumbnails from images in a batch function? [19:24] fde, i shall try, and i'll be right back, thanks for your help [19:24] ghostz: you are in a livecd no? [19:24] SWN: I'm not sure, but if you want it changed -- use the hostname [19:25] SWN: And then nano /etc/hostname [19:25] neeto, no I can't even get the live cd to boot [19:25] diefordethklok: HP actually funds a project 'hplip' that supports its printers on Linux, so that's a good choice :) [19:25] ghostz: Try Applications > Accessories [19:25] !hostname | SWN [19:25] SWN: Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. Alternatively, use the gui at system>administration>networking on the "General" tab [19:25] neeto, it hangs in the same place [19:25] SWN: And just confirm it has updated in that file and issue /etc/init.d/hostname.sh start [19:25] ghostz: whoa at sqashfs you say? [19:25] Surlent777, excuse me...i don't have a gui [19:25] neeto, yes at squashfs [19:25] [19:25] ghostz: My apologies, just noticed [19:25] what other distros use wubi? [19:25] SWN, you must make sure /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts have the right information on the new hostname, or sudo will not function properly [19:25] Surlent777, that's fine...any ideas [19:25] ghostz: yikes... what a mess... I'm afraid I don't know what to do from there. sorry mate. [19:26] I'm using btnx to map my extra mouse buttons to shortcuts. Almost everything works (tilt, zoom reset, zoom in/out, scroll, normal clicking, etc.) except I have a little bug. I mapped my back/forward mouse buttons to "Alt + Left" and "Alt + Right" respectively, so it will work in firefox [19:26] Oh nice, I'll look at newegg. [19:26] neeto: any ideas? [19:26] hi all [19:26] fnord_, iirc, wubi is an ubuntu complement, not aware of any other distros that use it [19:26] diefordethklok: you can check out www.openprinting.org also for a database of supported Printers, just to make sure. [19:26] neeto, alright...thanks [19:26] Only whenever I hit back/forward it sorta jumps forward, but then it jumps right back to the previous page. so hitting "forward" causes it to go forward, then immediately go back again [19:26] fnord_: the windows UBuntu Installer? [19:26] whats the best and stable ircd [19:26] I even set btnx to disallow repeating the button, thinking that was it, but to no avail [19:26] SWN: But to answer your question on the confusion on the GUI - really, I am not sure. :\ [19:27] thanks guys, I'll boot back into my hard disk now [19:27] fnord_: Wubi stands for "Windows UBuntu Installer... the is 'InstLux' which supported more distros, but I think that is OpenSUSE only now too. [19:27] xq: OK, but notice even ubottu says I should be able to use the Network program to do it. :( If I have to do it from the command line, OK, but they shouldn't even make it an option in Network if it doesn't modify BOTH files. :) [19:27] SWN: But the surefire way is listed above for sure. [19:27] ? - when I boot from the live CD, neither of my USB mice work. Is this the behaviour I would experience if I installed it. Anyone else had this problem? And what would I need to slipstream onto the disk to make it work? Thoughts? [19:27] ghostz: Sorry, I'm still a bit new at this. Try googling it. You'd be suprised what can turn up [19:27] unop, i relized that i was just wondering if other distros used a similar thing,i have no cdrom and no way to connect to the internet during a net install because my usb modem driver isnt supported yet [19:27] can anyone help with a broadcom card? [19:27] so i was looking for another way to install via windows [19:27] Surlent777, I have been for 2 days but thanks [19:27] SWN: I understand. I just wanted to help you change your hostname. I couldn't do anything else. [19:27] fnord_: that would be unetbootin [19:27] Yarakyo ... did you mean type ... gnome=panel or gnome-panel ??? [19:27] !broadcom > mynyml [19:27] fnord_, see what fde said above [19:28] bazhang, even if i dont have support for my network card? [19:28] fnord_: this will be a wireless net install? [19:28] ArticWolf: gnome-panel [19:28] how dangerous would it be to allow www-data sudo access without a password? [19:28] matthew_, not very advisable :) [19:28] unop: Now I'm back at the command line. I ran the command again, and it talks of packages being "kept back"... [19:28] matthew_: Very dangerous. [19:28] xq: I know. :) Thanks for the help--I'm just frustrated the GUI doesn't work. In fact since it only changed hosts and not hostname, it may have messed things up. :( [19:28] why would you do that matthew? [19:29] matthew_, any compromise of your webserver could result in your system being compromised [19:29] Cause I can't seem to let it do only certain commands sudo [19:29] SWN: Nah, just make sure they match using the other two small commands we've given you in /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname and you're all set [19:29] Surlent777, alright, now do this. sudo aptitude safe-upgrade [19:29] SWN: I pretty much assure you nothing will be messed up [19:29] fde: thanks, but i need more details. i installed the proper packages already and it should be working, but it isnt [19:29] bazhang, no i have no interweb conection outside of windows,my laptop is too old to have a ethernet interface pre-installed so i was looking for a method that dosent use internet or a cd drive [19:29] matthew_: Why would you want that user to do such things? [19:29] YaroMan86 ... how do i get my menu bars back to the desk top using gnome-panel [19:30] I'm trying to unzip a file, but Archive Manager and Ark both say they don't support the file... anyone know why? [19:30] fnord_: does it boot from usb stick? [19:30] I need www-data to be able to fuser and netstat [19:30] farajamo: what kind of file is it? [19:30] Hi , I upgrade to Hardy from Gutsy , I have problems with compiz-manager ya emerald [19:30] farajamo: What is the extension? [19:30] .7z and .rar [19:30] ArticWolf: gnome-panel is the command that launches your manu bars. It is the way to get them back if, for example, tou kill gnome-panel while it is set to garbeage in sessions. [19:30] just noticed that my card reader is not working anymore since changing to Hardy [19:30] farajamo, try this. sudo aptitude install zip unzip p7zip rar unrar and try again [19:30] ah... that's not exactly a .zip file is it ;) [19:31] unop: It still says a ton of stuff is being kept back, but it will upgrade the human theme [19:31] unop: Trying, one sec [19:31] Surlent777: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [19:31] Surlent777, ok, complete what you can here and then run this. sudo aptitude update; sudo aptitude dist-upgrade [19:31] what should I use for managing compiz in HardyHeron ? [19:31] matthew_: probably as dangerous as it can, you might as well publish the root password on the web page [19:31] whenever im on ubuntu for what seems like more than an hour, everything seems to slowly stop working. first youtube videos stop playing then i cant open mozilla anymore then i cant open HTOP to see whas running and then eventually i cant even reboot without going sudo reboot [19:31] Hardy has messed up more than helped in my case [19:31] your command or fde's? [19:32] hi [19:32] bazhang, if i had a usb stick and upodated my bios it could but not ATM,can unetboot be tweaked to load an iso image or use a local copy of an ubuntu cd instead of conecting to the internets? [19:32] Surlent777: both will accomplish the same thing... aptitude is better though, I'm just used to getting less arguments against apt-get :) [19:32] can an existing extended partition be resized and moved? [19:32] actually moving to Hardy has not solved any of the previous issues but has just added two more [19:32] also the human-theme upgrade failed [19:32] kinda disapointing [19:32] daYZman: Yes [19:32] can somebody help me installing ipw2200 drivers, frimware, ieee80211 ? I downloaded the latest releases but I don;t know how to compile and install them. [19:32] Surlent777, i'm not sure what fde recommended and i suggest you follow one person's advice at this point :) no offence fde [19:32] heh, k [19:32] For anyone who can help. I've noticed that when I'm running on windows, my processor doesn't get hot, whereas when I'm running on linux, it does. I'm running an HP Pavilion dv9000 with a Intel Centrino Duo. I presume the issue is that, in windows, the processor is throttled down (or some other term) when I'm not using all of it, and run at higher speeds when necessary. I expect that I don't have that ability enabled in linux. If that i [19:32] Does anyone know a batch function(for GIMP or another program) to create thumbnails from full size images? [19:32] xq: right. but when i right click on it in gparted, resize/move isn't available. [19:33] unop: I said apt-get instead of aptitude as I don't generally believe in pushing personal taste in public... heh [19:33] daYZman: Is there space to do so? [19:33] It's working now (as far as I can tell), thanks [19:33] whats wrong with this line in the sudoers file: www-data ALL=NOPASSWD: /bin/fuser /bin/netstat ? It doesn't work... [19:33] shpook, that sounds like something custom enough that you could write it [19:33] i just upgraded to hardy and my wifi card driver broke. can someone help me out? [19:33] daYZman: And only on the same hard drive ;-) [19:33] fnord_: potentially yes but alot more work then just borrowing a friends external cd drive imo [19:33] Ubuntu Hardy | Linux SGC-Atlantis 2.6.24-17-generic | FritzBoxWLAN Stick | Does not work. PLEASE HELP OUT! [19:33] fde, right ok [19:33] system > administration > hardware drivers doesn't work :/ [19:33] I'm using btnx to map my extra mouse buttons to shortcuts. Almost everything works (tilt, zoom reset, zoom in/out, scroll, normal clicking, etc.) except I have a little bug. I mapped my back/forward mouse buttons to "Alt + Left" and "Alt + Right" respectively, so it will work in firefox [19:33] unop: Dear God that's a lot of text. Would you mind looking at my output here? [19:33] Only whenever I hit back/forward it sorta jumps forward, but then it jumps right back to the previous page. so hitting "forward" causes it to go forward, then immediately go back again [19:33] I even set btnx to disallow repeating the button, thinking that was it, but to no avail [19:34] YaroMan86 ... that command from a launcher opens abiword file titled "gnome.desktop" .. with 11 lines .. first one sayd [Desktop Entry] [19:34] fde, i do 'e' to edit the Ubuntu boot selection, but it seems there already is a 'ro' to the line. [19:34] Surlent777, if you put it in a pastebin sure [19:34] xq: i think the problem is that the swap is mounted [19:34] Xsss4hell: that kernel is not supported [19:34] cause sudo -u www-data sudo netstat -tlp still asks for the www-data sudo password [19:34] fde, here is my problem so you may know a little more: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=781753 [19:34] munin ubuntu 8.04 not working? [19:34] helix: does 'cat /etc/mtab' say it's mounted read only? [19:34] xq is "swapoff" to unmount the swap partition? [19:34] daYZman: If they are mounted that is also a problem. I do not believe they can be mounted and *moved* [19:34] Artic-Wolf: Something is very wrong. [19:34] Hey all. Trying to share a folder in Hardy by right-clicking, selecting share, but when I select all 3 checkboxes, I get a net usershare error 255: cannot open usershare directory /var/lib/usershares. My user is in the sambashares group, what's wrong here? [19:34] crunchybumble: I'm assuming it would be done in python? I was hoping for something immediate, but I don't mind learning and writing something if need be. [19:34] then how about Ubuntu Hardy | Linux SGC-Atlantis 2.6.24-16-generic ?? [19:34] fde, where can Ifind this? [19:34] I have both! as you should know.. [19:34] helix: Type what I just told you. [19:35] bazhang,would i need programing skills to modify if or do you think it would be something easily editable in a config file or whatnot [19:35] daYZman: Resizing requires the proper amount of hard disk space be available, moving is going to require proper space and/or the partition be unmounted (for access/file system reasons) [19:35] YaroMan86 ... ok ... what should i do??? reload ubuntu 8.04 again?? or?? [19:35] You might have to. [19:35] matthew_, well, you are getting www-data to issue a sudo command there, quite obviously a password will still be prompted for [19:35] unop: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10034/ [19:35] daYZman: it'll [robably be easiest to use a live cd to do what you're wanting to d. [19:35] daYZman: That should do it. Make sure you have enough memory (but most people do and it's not an issue). Are you just trying to move your swap partition to be before your root partition and/or make it smaller or larger? [19:35] fnord_: you would need to point it to a local mirror--unetbootin requires a source-->and if you are going to be using a cd where would that be? [19:36] Munin not working on ubuntu 8.04? [19:36] ArticWolf: I would say as a last resort. Ask others on the channel. :) [19:36] fde, so when i type 'e', i have 3 choices, boot(0,7), kernel, another line, and quiet, should I add 'ro' (without quotes) to the kernel line even though there already is ro? [19:36] helix: is it at all possible to get the cliff notes version of that? I feel like I'm reading an essay, and I'm sort of tired... [19:36] language independent operation , just hunting around I saw this http://javascript.internet.com/math-related/image-resizer.html [19:36] hi guys, i am trying to set my default browser, i used sudo update-alternatives –config x-www-browser but still some progs are not using the one i set, ideas ? [19:36] unop: But my sudoers line is: www-data ALL=NOPASSWD: /bin/fuser /bin/netstat [19:36] matthew_: 1. commands should be comman-seperated; 2. /etc/sudoers should include the parameters as well [19:36] daYZman: I agre with Indy. Boot from a Live CD. That way nothing will be interferring and it will be on your live file system :) It will be the easiest method. [19:36] What is the name of the function of a processor where it throttles itself down to save power when it doesn't need to be running at full speed? [19:36] matthew_: 1. commands should be comma-seperated; 2. /etc/sudoers should include the parameters as well [19:36] IndyGunFreak: i'm already using the live cd though. it seems to mount the swap. [19:36] YaroMan86 ... ok thanks ... whats the best thing to ask ?? [19:36] helix: no... please 'cat /etc/mtab' and tell me whether the root partition is already read only. [19:36] hi.. [19:36] daYZman: then unmount it. [19:36] fde, so basically the filesystem says its read only when i try apt-get remove ndiswrapper and that /var/lib/dpkg/lock is not locked [19:36] i'm booting from the live CD and it doesn't recognise my mouse, anyone else experienced this issue? [19:37] sukuri: cpu scaling? [19:37]  Hey all. Trying to share a folder in Hardy by right-clicking, selecting share, but when I select all 3 checkboxes, I get a net usershare error 255: cannot open usershare directory /var/lib/usershares. My user is in the sambashares group, what's wrong here? [19:37] daYZman: or download gparted or partedmagic live cd... they should do the trick [19:37] Surlent777, say yes here [19:37] He's using GParter, Indy [19:37] xq: well i'm just trying to expand my root and shrink my /home [19:37] ArticWolf, hoe can I get mmy gnome panels to show up again? [19:37] fde, k, brb [19:37] how do u set the number of desktops in hardy? I found it earlier.. but cant now :s [19:37] Signil: Right click the desktop switcher and clcik preferences. [19:37] IndyGunFreak: yeah thanks. i think i'm okay now. :) [19:37] YaroMan86 ... thanks for all your help [19:37] daYZman: Ah, then you should be able to do it successfully using the methods and knowledge you have. Is it still giving you trouble? [19:37] ifireball: should there be a space before the comma or not? [19:37] bazhang: thank you, googling it to see how to do it in ubuntu [19:37] Signil: the virtual desktops or something other-->if the former then right click on them and add more [19:38] xq: it's good now. i just didn't notice swap was mounted. [19:38] Linux SGC-Atlantis 2.6.24-16-generic || FritzBoxWLAN Stick || Does not work. Any HELP Appreciated! I didn't find any solution :( :( [19:38] thanks [19:38] daYZman: Got you. Good luck! [19:38] is it normal that SATA harddrive is showing up with fdisk -l but it won't automount [19:38] anybody uses MUNIN? [19:38] unop: It asked for 1 more confirmation, and is now downloading various things, and things. What was that human-theme package, and why do you think it failed? [19:38] matthew_: the examples in the manpage seem to indicate that no [19:38] hello .. can I ask a Q please .. why do I need Phyton for ? [19:38] Xsss4hell: what is the chipset of that [19:38] sukuri: You can add it as an applet on the gnome Panel. It's already there. [19:38] danya: For programs that use Python ;) [19:38] danya: it's a programming language and framework for many applications [19:38] danya: Python is some sort of programming language, and I guess some programs go through it for things [19:38] matthew_, first i'd seriously reconsider you rethink the design of this, there might be better ways to get around your problems but if you insist ... log on as www-data via sudo -u www-data -s and then attempt a sudo command. [19:38] bazhang where do I know the chipset? [19:39] Ubuntong: really? Is it enabled before the applet is on the gnome-panel? [19:39] hello, I want to instal the ieee80211 stack but when I enter the "make" command I get this error: http://rafb.net/p/O4VFk640.html [19:39] bazhang avm I guess [19:39] * YaroMan86 takes a short break before helping more folks. [19:39] xq: how can I install it .. I can't find it in the Synaptic [19:39] danya: Quite a few applications rely on it to work. If it's installed on your system, I am sure some programs are reliant on it to function. [19:39] Xsss4hell: if pci then lspci; if usb then lsusb [19:39] YaroMan86 ... just had a brain fart ... im using Xbuntu 8.04 does that matter?? [19:39]  Hey all. Trying to share a folder in Hardy by right-clicking, selecting share, but when I select all 3 checkboxes, I get a net usershare error 255: cannot open usershare directory /var/lib/usershares. My user is in the sambashares group, what's wrong here? [19:39] Surlent777, not really sure, but i am guessing apt did not have the current package lists from the repositories .. [19:39] xq: I upgraded to hardy 2 days ago :) [19:39] danya: If a program requires it upon installation, Synaptic will prompt you to install it. [19:39] hmm [19:39] help, the highest resolution I have is 640x480 [19:39] bazhang AVM GmbH WLAN USB v1.1 [19:39] danya: If you just want Python (for programming purposes?) then search for Python [19:39] sukuri: CPU Frequency Scaling applet is already listed as an applet on the gnome panel [19:39] ArticWolf: Yyyyyyeah, Xubuntu is different from regular Ubuntu, in that it does not use GNOME. gnome-panel wouldn't be there. [19:40] xq: I did that no phyton in the synaptic :) [19:40] unop: That would make sense, I guess...but then how did it know that it was there? Can the names and locations get seperated from each other? === Prose___ is now known as Prose [19:40] Xsss4hell: that is the brand name-->we need a chipset like broadcom or the like [19:40] danya: Spelling --> Python [19:40] ArticWolf: I don't know Xubuntu very well, might help to ask someone who is. [19:40] xq: oh thanks lol [19:40] My memory is over 90% usage, subtracting the disk buffers, yet when I look at system monitor, all the processes together can't add up to 100MB [19:40] YaroMan86 ... sorry ... where do i go to get hel with Xbuntu ??? [19:40] any ideas to find out where that memory is going? [19:40] ArcticWolf: I know a little bit about Xubuntu. What is the problem again? [19:40] ArticWolf: #xubuntu :o [19:40] Hi. When on compiz I cannot change virtual desktops. I tried clicking the bottom panel widget or drag a window but nothing works [19:40] Ubuntong: Yes, however, is the actual scaling ability enabled prior to starting that applet, and this is showing what the processor speed is at? or does turning on the monitor enable CPU scaling? [19:40] articwolf: #xubuntu [19:40] !Xubuntu | ArticWolf [19:40] ArticWolf: Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME.

[19:41] ArcticWolf: or try them. That works. [19:41]  Hey all. Trying to share a folder in Hardy by right-clicking, selecting share, but when I select all 3 checkboxes, I get a net usershare error 255: cannot open usershare directory /var/lib/usershares. My user is in the sambashares group, what's wrong here? [19:41] ArticWolf: xfce4-panel [19:41] oh wow [19:41] Now, seriously, I'm off to take a break. [19:41] manicola: i'm having the same issue [19:41] compiz.real is using 70% of my RAM [19:41] sukuri: If you left click on it you can set the scaling profile that you want. [19:41] manicola: dmesg | grep ata [19:41] that doesn't show up like that in system monitor [19:41] Surlent777, well, from experience, any problems with upgrading usually stem from apt not having the right package lists .. either they werent downloaded or weren't downloadedd properly.. so even if one package fails to download and install, any packages that depend on it fail too [19:41] manicola: mdemocritus: are you using software RAID configs? [19:41] mDemocritus: OK, well, I'll split the answers with you 50/50 [19:42] RAdams: nope === elcapitan is now known as morgan555 [19:42] I'm having issues with ndiswrapper, the device shows up as present, but it isn't there in ifconfig. Can anyone help me? [19:42] Surlent777, from what you have just told me, it seems aptitude is trying to rectify the situation now .. so let's hope it completes [19:42] help, the highest resolution I have is 640x480 [19:42] RAdams: nope - it's SATA too [19:43] manicola: well, my issue's with an ide drive... [19:43] people, a short one.. how i figured out if a have to use the ndisgtk... (when broadcom 4328 is not supported =( ) [19:43] unop: Yeah. I really don't want to have to do a clean install. Thank you for you help thus far. [19:43] Netham45, YOU may need a reset. [19:43] I was using 1280x1024 on 7.10 [19:43] paulcross, I've rebooted numerous times. [19:43] mDemocritus: hmm, dmesg spits out lots of info, but I can' read it [19:43] morgan555: Do you have an NVIDIA card? [19:44] fde, cat /etc/mtab does talk about sda8 being mounted. But it also says remount ro if there are errors [19:44] Myrtti ... thanks ... that fixed it ... big thanks there :) [19:44] manicola: lol pastebin it then [19:44] hmm [19:44] Surlent777, a clean install is never fun, you waste time trying to get the system back into a usuable state installing and configuring packages and settings .. yw [19:44] manicola: and give me the link [19:44] morgan555: I had this problem when I upgraded to Hardy [19:44] I'm getting an error to check the system log, where would that be located? [19:44] fde, and it seems ndiswrapper or ACPI are causing errors on boot [19:44] manicola: pastebin the entire dmesg output [19:44] manicola: echo your dmesg into a text file, or use tail -f to read it [19:44] mDemocritus: hmm, got to learn how to do that first [19:44] Surlent777 yes I do [19:44] Netham45, Is the light of your wireless card on? [19:44] bazhang Chipset TNETW1450 from Texas Instruments I think (this website is telling that http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/FRITZ!WLAN_USB_Stick) [19:44] manicola, pipe dmesg through less.. dmesg | less [19:44] !paste | manicola [19:44] anyone knows about b43-fwcutter ? [19:44] manicola: 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) [19:44] unop: Been there with Windows, and that was bad enough. I have more than 1300 packages I'd have to go through and find again... [19:44] morgan555: alt+f2 and put gksudo displayconfig-gtk [19:44] is it really normal for compiz to use roughly...670MB of RAM? [19:44] OK [19:44] ubuntulog: Those options don't seem to be available on mine, however they are in the help file. Any suggestions? [19:44] xq: one last Q please .. how can I know which python does that program uses ? [19:45] qman__: no [19:45] morgan555: That will allow you to configure your monitoor. [19:45] morgan555: Do you have the NVIDIA Settings tool under Applications > System? [19:45] sukuri: You just right click on the panel and click Add to Panel look through the list and find CPU scaling monitor. Then you can left click on that to set the scaling profile that you want. [19:45] people, a short one.. how i figured out if a have to use the ndisgtk... (when broadcom 4328 is not supported =( ) [19:45] please help =( [19:45] Ummm why is nautilus out of sudden lauching windows for each folder I launch, and there's no side panel, no icons, location bar...... and why do all the menus have a very thick white border on them..... [19:45] paulcross, a dmesg is complaining of an unsuccessful driver load, it says to check the system logs, but, yea the light is on. [19:45] !paste | manicola [19:45] Surlent777: thanks for ur help 2 :) [19:45] Netham45, after you followed the steps and rebooted, did you do a manual setup of your device? [19:45] manicola: dmesg >> whateverfilename [19:45]  Hey all. Trying to share a folder in Hardy by right-clicking, selecting share, but when I select all 3 checkboxes, I get a net usershare error 255: cannot open usershare directory /var/lib/usershares. My user is in the sambashares group, what's wrong here? [19:45] I know eye candy takes some resources but that's ridiculous [19:45] SeaPhor, my device isn't showing up anywhere. [19:45] danya, usually by default, a python script uses the python installed on your system .. but some scripts can require that you use a particular version of python [19:45] it says the driver can't load. [19:45] danya: No problem. :P [19:45] RAdams: logged out and back in since adding your user to the group? [19:45] sukuri: Do you see the Scaling monitor available as an applet? [19:45] I'd like to completely remove a particular package with all the configuration files and reinstall all of the configuration files. What command can do this? [19:46] Ubuntong: yes, I have the monitors, but, when I left-click them, I do not get a menu. I've seen the menu in the help file, but I haven't found how to enable it [19:46] Netham45, i know, may need to do manuals setup [19:46] is there a known issue with Hardy where after you log in you only get the login screen again? this is happening in livecd mode and after fresh install [19:46] jrib: I'll try that now [19:46] jburd: aptitude purge PACKAGE [19:46] mDemocritus: OK then what? [19:46] my uptime is only 18 days, I wonder if it leaks [19:46] jrib: Thanks. :-) [19:46] I like how when I try to help someone I go a totally different and more complicated route =/ [19:46] Netham45, did you have any errors in any of the steps?

[19:46] SeaPhor, erm, driver. [19:46] Netham45, I rememberd that you need to disable the default driver before using the ndiswrapper.Maybe you forgot to disable it. [19:46] ciao sono mari [19:46] Surlent777 no I don't [19:46] neeto, if you're still around i fixed the pulseaudio problem i had by installing libflashsupport and creating a default /etc/asound.conf file-- everything seems to work now, and youtube has not crashed yet on firefox..we'll see how well this lasts ;) [19:47] fde, returns mount rw but remound ro if errors [19:47] morgan555: I take it you tried the screen resolution tool under System > Preferences? [19:47] mDemocritus: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10035/ - thanks, never done that bfo [19:47] iobelix: nice to hear it [19:47] paulcross, there is no default driver for my card. [19:47] iobelix: good luck man [19:47] Netham45, did you check the compatibility first, from the link at the beginning? [19:47] manicola: lol get used to it if you're coming here a lot [19:48] hi, everybody...how i figured out if a have to use the ndisgtk... (when broadcom 4328 is not supported =( ) [19:48] mDemocritus: i'm gonna :) [19:48] Is there some sort of a command that will pop-up messages on Ubuntu? Kind of like MSG * Blah Blah on Windows [19:48] manicola: ok that's just the piped one... do another with the whole output of dmesg [19:48] eboyjr: pop up where? in the notification area? [19:48] Netham45, did you check here? http://linux-wless.passys.nl/ [19:48] Xsss4hell: that site says you have to either: 1)compile the source yourself and insert the module, or 2) use ndiswrapper to do it-->no listing for Hardy though [19:48] manicola: i thought you were using ata (ide) at first [19:49] bazhang I tried both without any success [19:49] "is there a known issue with Hardy where after you log in you only get the login screen again? this is happening in livecd mode and after install" shall I take silence as "no"? my nine year old is experiencing Hardy pain! :-( [19:49] hi, everybody...how i figured out if a have to use the ndisgtk... (when broadcom 4328 is not supported =( ) [19:49] does firefox 3beta5 crash constantly for anyone else? [19:49] jrib, Like a new window opens up with text inside... Some way for me to see what my CLI PHP script is doing. [19:49] as said with kernel 17 [19:49] not 16 [19:49] Xsss4hell: this is an external usb dongle correct? [19:49] yeah, it was compiz alright, switched it off and freed up 742MB of RAM [19:49] Surlent777 if I go into screen resolution I dont see a resolution tool, I only have two options, this is a fresh install on this computer but when I did the upgrade from 7.10 i remeber seeing the tool somewhere, now I dont have it [19:49] Netham45, any way. My solution is disable it first. Try this:"sudo gedit /etc/defaultÏÂlinux-restricted-modules-common " change DISABLED_MODULES="" to DISABLED_MODULES="ath_hal" [19:49] fde, still there? [19:49] that's not normal [19:50] eboyjr: notify-send if you want something in the notification area.

Welcome! === galak is now known as gorak [19:50] mDemocritus: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10036/ [19:50] morgan555: I'm certain that there should be a dropbox with various resolutions. It's not there?

[19:51] to get 5.1 sound in hardy do you still need a .asoundrc file or can it modified from within the pulseaudio somehow?

[19:52] Gary_inNYC, ever find a resolution to your sound issue? [19:52] morgan555: I have a utility for configuring my NVIDIA card, but I can't remember how I got it. Does anyone know if the Restricted Drivers thing does that, or if it was put on by Envy? [19:52] SeaPhor, the ndiswrapper website says mine is compatable with ndiswrapper. =/ [19:52] :D [19:52] aaah already a ndiswrapper discussion [19:53] Xsss4hell: not sure how to get that working with either Hardy regular or your special kernel--> it works well with Gutsy though [19:53] mDemocritus: sdb1 [19:53] Netham45, ok, click on the network manager and select manual config [19:53] Zyrando: I gotta get in on that one with you too [19:53] SeaPhor, what am I configuring? [19:53] can someone help me with what appears to be some shell script syntax? http://paste.ubuntu.com/10037/ [19:53] whats the fix for mp3 support in Hardy? (already tried gstreamer plugins) [19:53] I installed the driver, but my usb stick isnt listet in lsusb ^^' [19:54] this sucks [19:54] SeaPhor, it does NOT show up in network manageer, that's my issue! [19:54] Again, does anyone know if the Restricted Drivers thing makes the NVIDIA settings tool, or if it was put on by Envy? [19:54] manicola: is it a usb drive? [19:54] Netham45, wireless, that is what you want right? [19:54] i have libSDL installed,but when i try to ./configure i get configure: error: *** SDL not found! Get SDL from www.libsdl.org.

[19:54] Ubuntong: After reading a blog on it (http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2005/11/04/enabling-cpu-frequency-scaling/) would I be correct in understanding that (one of) the easiest way to do this would be to reconfigure my gnome applets and say 'yes' to setting the suid of the cpufreq-selector executable? Furthermore, are there negative repercussions to doing so? [19:54] Netham45, and you had no errors in any of the steps? [19:54] i have libSDL installed,but when i try to ./configure i get configure: error: *** SDL not found! Get SDL from www.libsdl.org. [19:55] SeaPhor, no. [19:55] SeaPhor, a dmesg | grep ndiswrapper says that ndiswrapper can't load the driver [19:55] morgan555: If you have it, it ought to be under Applications > System Tools, and have an icon of a green N on a black orb [19:55] manicola: pastebin your fdisk -l for me [19:55] i have libSDL installed,but when i try to ./configure i get configure: error: *** SDL not found!

(already tried gstreamer plugins) [19:56] damn I'm really disappointed [19:56] mDemocritus: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10038/ [19:56] me either :D [19:56] ...hm. Perhaps someone ought to suggest to the Ubuntu team to try putting in a "Downgrade" option, just in case. [19:56] can someone help me with what appears to be some shell script syntax? http://paste.ubuntu.com/10037/ [19:56] Netham45, what card/and chipset do you have? [19:56] where can I look up the chipset? [19:56] SeaPhor, Netgear wn511b card, and I'm not sure about the chipset. [19:57] Why can not I sudo any more? [19:57] didn't any of the developers ever tried to correct that problem? man if they code something that does work. why remove it in a newer version?? [19:57] morgan555: If you have it, you should be able to get to it by pressing Alt-F2 and then typing "nvidia-settings", without the quotes [19:57] manicola: what error do you get when you try sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /path/to/mountpoint [19:57] i have libSDL installed,but when i try to ./configure i get configure: error: *** SDL not found!

[19:57] lo all - got a question about video settings - just not the usual nvidia/ati one.. [19:58] wizz1: you need -dev packages to compile with a library [19:58] jrib, i got SDL [19:58] via 3500 mobo + via unichrome on board video [19:58] manicola: you ran it with sudo, right? [19:58] wizz1: you have the -dev package for it?

[19:58] manicola: and you put in a path for the mountpoint? [19:59] morgan555: Any results? Do you have said program? [19:59] wizz1: do: apt-cache search -n lib sdl dev you will see [19:59] the colors in my video playback are off, its very blue and only florescent colors pop, any ideas?

[20:00] Surlent777 I am going to s ee if its in synaptic [20:00] is there any good doc for how to set up wlan with fix ip and vpn [20:00] Ubuntong: thank you for your help, you definitely helped and sent me in the right direction :-D [20:00] morgan555: Never tried that.

[20:00] wizz1: install the -dev package you need [20:00] I managed to make a bootable USB Hard Drive with ubuntu, however, it boots on my laptop and not my PC. On my PC, it simply launches Grub's command line. Why? [20:00] zedster_ other than that i've got nothin... try google [20:00] wizz1: that command gave you some likely candidates [20:00] my desktop freezes every few days. that is extremely annoying since it is equivalent of a system crash. even more annoying is that it happened a few minutes ago when my girlfriend tried linux for the first time, (I use ubuntu 8.04 on a samsung r41 collin, latest updates installed) [20:00] tried hacking around xorg.conf - but one look at that file makes me shdder as it's missing lots of what i "thinK" should be there... [20:01] can someone help me with what appears to be some shell script syntax? http://paste.ubuntu.com/10037/ [20:01] mDemocritus: somehow the eq in one messed up the eq in all the others [20:01] manicola: what does this give you: ls /mnt [20:01] mDemocritus: its always the simplest thing, thanks [20:01] anyone else here having problems with freezing desktops? [20:01] What does Tracker do when I run Tracker with the option "Perform fast index merges"? [20:01] zedster_ np same thing happened to me :D [20:02] rogue_trader: Well, our Ubuntu computer at school did the same thing, but when we turned off the Compiz stuff, it stopped. Something about the video card overheating, I think. [20:02] rogue_trader: Im having this for more than 5 month 3 times [20:02] mDemocritus: OK, i borked the command mount - didn't put a path to mount after the /dev/sdb1 [20:02] Hello.

[20:02] how do i turn off compiz Surlent777 ? under appearance / effects? [20:02] I mean, I can't change layout after each new boot if I don't re-set the "change layout key combination". [20:02] amikrop is the livecd been removed? [20:03] rouge_trader: Yeah, switch it to None [20:03] manicola: ok now you probably have to double check the permissions: ls -ld /path/to/mountpoint [20:03] mDemocritus: well, i thought it was supposed to automount - it has in the previous 6 times I've attempted to install ubuntu [20:03] Tom47: I have hardy installed on my pc.

[20:31] im out [20:31] Hello! I have a question: my upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04 crashed somewhere in the middle (installing new packets). so after reboot i ran dpkg --configure -a and after that apt-get dist-upgrade. now everything seems ok, so i'm wanna ask if there is anything else i should do? [20:31] eboyjr: Maybe commandhere > file.txt [20:32] -'m [20:32] luka: if it works it works [20:32] no idea? [20:32] xq, It doesnt work if file.txt doesnt exist [20:32] eboyjr: That will output the command's "output" to the file for rading later [20:32] im on ubuntu 6.06 [20:32] eboyjr: Then touch file.txt [20:32] Now set the new partition type as "ext3", farool. You should also set the size to be xxx megabytes. [20:32] eboyjr: That will create the file before executing the command? [20:32] Dr_Link: Sorry, I should have said this before. I want to delete every trace of XP off of the computer. I don't want any of my old files or anything. Can I just delete this? [20:32] The partition? [20:32] sure. [20:32] Anybody know how to get that thing NOT to trample on my config files? [20:32] It won't matter anymore, go ahead and delete all of the partitions. [20:33] magnetron, Right click the terminal, Edit Current Profile, uncheck use system font, and choose your own [20:33] It's really frickin' annoying having my 3D functionality randomly disabled, and all my touchpad settings completely lost. [20:33] sebsebseb, what about old packets, were they removed? coz apt-get dist-upgrade said nothing bout them when i ran it in the end [20:33] eboyjr: which font was used in gutsy? [20:33] luka: ah right yeah some stuff it may have wanted to remove, could be left behind, but if so it probably won't cause issues [20:34] Dr_Link: Create as Extended Partition? [20:34] can I use a older kernel on hardy [20:34] yes you can [20:34] sebsebseb, any idea how could i check if they are still there? [20:34] WTF?

Yeah, go trample on ALL my config files, why don't'cha?

[20:35] Dr_Link: I can't enter letters into the "New Size" field. Should I just put the maximum down?

I spelled it wrong... Thats a good font though [20:36] I need pdnsd to start at boot up. However, the pdnsd init script does NOT start at start up. Is this a bug?

[20:36] eboyjr: ok, cheers [20:36] farool: letters? [20:36] the package in gutsy did not have this problem [20:36] luka: yeah maybe you don't have a 100% complete hardy upgrade. sudo apt-get dist-upgrade I think is another commadn you can try to see what happens [20:37] any new great and cool software out?

[20:40] luka: not used iirc [20:40] DanaG: any OS that does an update where the user doesn't control it can break things [20:40] where do i find the wireless driver in vista? which path [20:40] hello people [20:40] hi sev [20:40] luka: when I Upgraded this computer I kept a file, and had a problem, untill I updated it, it came up on the upgrade about that. on another computer things went well [20:40] Jefo: #windows [20:40] Dr_Link: Should I apply the changes?

[20:41] you need to make a new partition, farool [20:41] O how can i use the python language in Ubuntu [20:41] before you do that === jim is now known as jimius [20:41] Dr_Link: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:41] Ultimate control? I don't want to have to micromanage. [20:41] Dr_Link: Another one?

[20:41] Dr_Link, ehm, i need them for wireless in ubuntu..? [20:41] DanaG: precisely... it's one or the other, unfortunately [20:41] does anyone know a backup tool that makes an image of my partition, so that i can place it back AND open it to get data out of it? [20:41] farool: yeah, this time, set it to 256 megabytes, "swap" is the partition type [20:41] and then, apply the changes [20:41] well, i'll do some more digging, ty sebsebseb for ur time ;) [20:41] any one anser me [20:42] Ward1983: an image of your partition hummmmmm [20:42] how do I get an embedded terminal in my desktop? [20:42] Ward1983: well if it was Windows I could answer that no problem, but Ubuntu no idea [20:42] sevillian: from terminal, try python [20:42] Hey the GParted shit is telling me to check and repair filesystem (ntfs) on /dev/sda1 - WTF?! [20:42] sebsebseb, anything that i can place back AND open to extract files out of it [20:42] sevillian: this channel is pretty much useless for help - too many people [20:42] !ohmy | Styles [20:42] Styles: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

Now when you go through through the setup process, set the new ext3 partition. [20:45] Trampling on configuration is approximately my singular largest gripe with Ubuntu. [20:45] you can run apt-get update then apt-get install for a system update [20:45] jimmyg00n: LTSP is for Linux thin clients to simultaneously use a full Linux machine, it's not really possible to have windows host it unless you use virtual machines. [20:45] * DanaG goes off to trample on the Ubuntu server config.... because they change a hard drive. [20:45] I hope you remembered, you were dealing with GIGABYTES, though, farool, and not megabytes, when doing gparted [20:45] you shouldn't have any empty space left over [20:46] does anyone know a backup tool that makes an image of my partition, so that i can place it back AND open it to get data out of it? [20:46] thiebaude : yes it works now [20:46] patifa, yeah, I was thinking about VMs. now I'm wondering just have a VM with VNC and use it remotely or actually create a thinclient and do it that way :/ [20:46] thank you [20:46] Can somebody instruct me on how to install Java for firefox.

[20:52] sevillian:it feels good to be free [20:52] do i need to check the checkbox here ? http://www.ubuntu.com/GetUbuntu/download I don't want an installer, just the live cd [20:52] : yes [20:52] lnxnt_: the livecd and the installer are the same disk [20:52] andreiutz: you can find the kernel images in the Synaptic package manager, and do you want you want there [20:52] what is your study? [20:52] thiebaude, it feels good until you need to spend an intire weekend on TRYING to backup 2 partitions of about 35GB [20:53] lnxnt_ if you have the install cd, you have the livecd... just boot it, but don't click "install" [20:53] lo y'all - any graphic drivers gurus around (not the usual nvidia/ati issue) [20:53] lnxnt_: They're the same, though you can check that lowermost checkbox to get a CD which contains a text-based installer, only.

[20:53] sebsebseb, can you tell me the command ? [20:53] andreiutz: try doing the kernel update from GUI (Synaptic). [20:53] why do you want the command? [20:53] just do it the graphical way? [20:53] got via on board chipset - only get 800x600 - but isplayconfig-gtk tests 1920x1200 ok [20:54] mDemocritus what can be the prob? [20:54] iam studing DataBase programming [20:54] Dr_Link: Sorry, I mistyped something way up there. After step 3, "Keyboard layout" a little loading bar pops up called "Starting up the partitioner" it takes about two hours to finish, and then that disappears, but nothing happens, and the computer freezes. [20:54] but sudo apt-get purge whatever the kernel is called would basically remove it properly [20:54] every think on Ms [20:54] #4on4 [20:54] kewl [20:55] farool: O.o then, erm... have you run an integrity check on the CD? What version of Ubuntu? [20:55] NetRolller3D, ok [20:55] Nix3r: i'm not really sure... try asking the question again along with the answers to the questions i asked you...

[20:56] lnxtnt:how big is your drive? [20:56] sebsebseb: yeah, yeah but I needed to upgrade. How can I quick make free space ? [20:57] what? [20:57] lixnt: on a Live CD? [20:57] sebsebseb: yes [20:57] lixnt: Live CD's just go into your RAM, and that's it you lose what you done, when the computer is turned off or re booted [20:57] on unionfs [20:57] sevillian:thats true [20:57] patifa: so, i shouldnt really worry about it then? [20:57] sebsebseb: yeah, i know [20:57] make free space for what? [20:57] you man partitions?

But compiling your own stuff can create a lot of problems even if you succeed. [21:56] Mudassar: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[22:08] jaffarkelshac: hopefully that will work my brother :D [22:08] I can't get rid of the menu_bar background now, what should I do? [22:08] 7.10 was great but the nvidia-glx-new driver in 8.10 sucks elephant testicals [22:08] tretle, with 7.10 on my laptop with nvidia, used the nvidia setting panel worked a treat [22:09] SWL - also, a quick search with synaptic allows you to read the info pages about any packages you think looks like it [22:09] tretle, seen the screenshot - no - mine is fairly big diaginal lines.. [22:09] SWN: I agree with thunderbolt, but do a 'apt-cache search libsdl dev' to shorten the list [22:09] it had already been ticked, p4-TwYsTeD send me a pm [22:09] werer would the "correct" place to put system shares (nfs, etc) be? [22:09] Does anybody knows what could be the worst thing that can happen if my filesystem is SEVERE damaged? [22:09] unless i set it at 800x600 [22:09] mac_ the lines on mine seem to keep on multiplying [22:09] gerardoj: Worst thing - you lose all your info ... ? === Mr_SpOOn[nonciso is now known as ilsignorcarlo [22:09] gerardoj - loss of data, a working operating system [22:09] thunderbolt, soundray, RequinB4: Thanks! I will give it a try here. [22:09] jaffarkelshac: did it go through :D [22:09] tretle, got another OS to test the card on ? [22:10] sadly no p4-TwYsTeD [22:10] is it very hard to get a windows xp install working on top of an ubuntu hardy heron? [22:10] jaffarkelshac: i will look more my friend :D [22:10] how about hardware? nothing bad will happen to the hardware like HD? [22:10] balle_: It's a lot easier to have XP installed first [22:10] mac__ never had any issues before 8.04 with this card [22:10] tretle, fair enough.. [22:10] even the alphas worked properly, only the fianal 8.04 build is giving me the issue [22:10] i was 1/2 suspecting card with that looking.. [22:10] to make a file read only do i change the permissions for owner, group and others to access files? [22:11] !readonly [22:11] Factoid readonly not found [22:11] i use kopete as well, i might just use that instead p4-TwYsTeD [22:11] but - probably not then [22:11] balle_: how do you mean 'on top'? It's fairly easy to install as a guest in virtualbox or vmware server [22:11] balle__: Do you want to dual boot? Once you've installed XP, it will overwrite your boot sector, and you won't be able to boot Ubuntu. You'll need to reinstall GRUB, but I can't remember how... [22:11] jaffarkelshac: ok maybe this will work [22:11] gerardoj - a file system is a software construction. There ARE a few things you can do to mess up your hardware, such as lowering the life of your hard drive by reading-writing to it constantly. [22:11] im trying to rename xorg.conf with "sudo rename xorg.conf xorg.conf.old" but its not working is this not the right way? [22:11] ok so i have a small problem, nothing dire, but whenever my screen pops up to ask me for my password to change a system setting, say when i go to my Update Manager, the screen dims, but when i type the password in, the window still sits there, the background is still dim, but it accepted my password... so in order to get the window out of the way, and the screen bright again, i have to drag any window around as if i'm erasing th [22:11] e dimmed area with my current window... any thoughts? [22:11] balle_: for dualbooting, there is a factoid: [22:11] !dualboot | balle_ [22:11] balle_: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MacBookPro https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [22:11] gerardoj: Since HD's have moving parts, they eventually wear out. [22:11] Should I burn the Ubuntu iso Image to a CD or DVD, or does it even matter? [22:11] con-man: are you trying to restore the .old file? [22:12] I just updated a toshiba satellite laptop to hardy, and for some reason I can't get the resolution to go any higher than 800x600. It starts in low graphics mode, and even when I choose the chipset or manually modify the xorg.conf, it keeps booting to 800x600 with the vesa driver [22:12] balle_: also http://apcmag.com/how_to_dual_boot_linux_and_windows_xp_linux_installed_first.htm [22:12] saxsux: yes.. that is the working plan yea, and what about if i just boot from the live cd? can't i install GRUB again from there? [22:12] laeg: restore xorg.conf.1, but yes [22:12] damntourists - I haven't seen a fix for that bug yet, but i could be wrong [22:12] jaffarkelshac: prefrences>chatting>Alerts and click "show private messages" [22:12] :D [22:12] con-man: sudo cp oldfile newfile [22:12] con-man, sudo mv xorg.conf xorg.conf.old [22:12] jaffarkelshac: i hope that will be the solution my brother :D [22:12] Seven_Six_Two, install ati drivers [22:12] but basically it just happen at the software level right? [22:12] hacks getting trivial these days, market structure seems to be joking out, with dweebs [22:12] balle__:I think so, yes. Have a look at the link h00k just sent you. [22:12] to make a file read only do i change the permissions for owner, group and others to list files? [22:12] saxsux: doing [22:12] Should I burn the Ubuntu .iso Image File to a CD or DVD? [22:13] RequinB4: so it's a known issue? i just remember dealing with stuff like that in windows 98 or something. it's just a little annoying, considering i like my desktop flawless and styled nicely [22:13] Thanks alot my first problem is solved, Mozilla is not hanging in youtube now Thanks alot again [22:13] laeg, read only even for yourself?

[22:13] Masashi: Which image did you get? if you got the one thats 700 MB, write to a CD, if it's bigger, write to a DVD :) [22:13] usser: yes [22:13] soundray, thunderbolt: It looks like libsdl1.2-dev is the main package which I all ready have installed. There is also more specialized packages, e.g. libsdl-console-dev, libsdl-gfx1.2-dev, etc. How in the world can I figure out which ones I need? :) [22:13] Alright, thanks! [22:13] damntourists - i agree. I'd do a search on ubuntuforums.org if you want the latest progress [22:13] laeg, chmod a-r file [22:13] Mudassar: did the reconfigure step fix it? [22:13] usser: ty :) [22:13] Masashi: If you can't find a CD though, a DVD will still work. [22:13] yes [22:13] Tyczek: the drivers are there, and I did modprobe fglrx but it didn't make it better [22:13] laeg, oh no wait [22:13] :O [22:13] already ticked, p4-TwYsTeD dont worry i will be using kopete [22:13] SWN: Well, you could try to make the package and see where it barfs, that's what I tend to do...

[22:14] cause I mistakenly ran e2fsck and then I restarted and I got something like 'e2fsck: found some errors on the filesystem' [22:14] SWN: just install them all -- they aren't that big. Once you've compiled, you can remove them again.

After that, it should boot normally from HD. [22:17] !ask | Lordveda [22:17] usser: bash: cdhmod: command not found [22:17] Lordveda: 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. :-) [22:17] to make a file read only do i change the permissions for owner, group and others to list files? [22:17] !permissions [22:17] 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 [22:17] hello I no longer have the wireless interface, only eth0 and lo I have just removed all the drivers and started clean but it still no tthere [22:17] laeg :chmod [22:17] laeg, chmod [22:17] ok so I installed some virtual box stuff and now when I start my computer it always starts in low graphics mode. I noticed it replaced my xorg.conf so I restored the proper one but this hasnt fixed the issue [22:17] n8 [22:18] usser: sorry, my bad ty [22:18] p4-TwYsTeD: yeah i understand. i heard there was some kind of lawsuit or something, so they renamed their program from gaim to pidgen... i could be wrong though [22:18] zvacet: ty [22:18] can somebody guide me how can I increase the volume of headphones in ubuntu ? It works fine in windows [22:18] In Fedora Linux, If you right-click on the gnome-cpu-frequency applet It yields a context menu that enables you to choose from on-demand/performance [22:18] no one? [22:18] anyone have ideas? [22:18] god damnit I hate popular channels [22:18] damntourists: i do not know the legalitys my brother for i am under another law i hope you can understand :D === GrimReapers is now known as GR [22:18] This is absent in the same applet in Ubuntu, y is that? [22:18] damntourists: but thank you for the information i appriciate it [22:19] this is very frustrating [22:19] damntourists: bless you :D [22:19] Mudassar: double click the volume icon in the panel to open the mixer. There should be a slider that controls the headphone volume. [22:19] hello :) [22:19] Being that AES is the U.S. standard, can it be trusted? [22:19] Second: What is the module that enables the gnome-brightness applet to work out on a Fujitsu Siemens Li 1705? [22:19] depends which AES :D [22:20] anyone? [22:20] Hi guys. I have a problem, I think ^^. When I power off or restarting Ubuntu I get stuck on the "splash" screen. (You kno wthe one when you shuting off the OS...) Please help me, or tell me if it's wrong ^ [22:20] I tried to search on google [22:20] ipei: are you in 7.04?

[22:20] laeg, No, I'm on 8.04 [22:20] ipei: it's a bug, you just have to upgrade... [22:20] con-man :what are you need [22:20] there is only one slider (named PCM) [22:20] what do anyone think about xandros [22:20] ipei: oh it doesn't happen to me in 8.04 [22:20] could launchpad include useful information? [22:20] ipei: are you on the live cd? [22:20] volume for headphones is so low [22:20] zvacet: ok so I installed some virtual box stuff and now when I start my computer it always starts in low graphics mode. I noticed it replaced my xorg.conf so I restored the proper one but this hasnt fixed the issue [22:21] (correction)I am not able to run Desktop Cube when i try to switch Workspace with WS more than 2 then it logs out with a black screen .... [22:21] con-man, what exactly did u install? [22:21] Mudassar: there is no master volume? [22:21] Is there anyone here using ndiswrapper and is able to change their MTU? e.g. sudo ifconfig wlan0 mtu 1492 [22:21] laeg, Nope. It occured after a while. Not sure after what... But its not the splash when I start the OS, so you know... [22:21] con-man, can u list the packages [22:21] Mudassar: do you get extra sliders when you run alsamixer in a terminal? === Surlent is now known as Surlent777 [22:21] usser: sec [22:21] let me see [22:21] con-man : how did you restored it [22:22] con-man, if u dont run ubuntu inside virtualbox then u dont need guest-modules [22:22] usser: virtualbox ose modules [22:22] what does any one think about xandros [22:22] I can't get rid of the menu_bar background now, what should I do? [22:22] ipei: i used to get it on 7.04 whenever i shut down, sorry i don't know anymore about it [22:22] anyone have any idea if I should have hddtemp run as a daemon? [22:22] for the record, I dont think virtualbox ose does usb passthrough [22:22] Mudassar: this might be a silly suggestion, but make sure your headphones are plugged into the speaker output, not the line output, on your sound card [22:22] laeg, Is it mayor. Or can I live with it? I just installed Linux so I'm kinda new ^ [22:22] * fiyawerx went with the binaries from virtualbox [22:22] ek247: this question is offtopic here. Ask in #ubuntu-offtopic please [22:22] ek247, this is not #xandros so I guess you are offtopic [22:23] zvacet: I renamed xorg.conf to xorg.conf.old, and then added the correct one in [22:23] ok [22:23] hello our friend rob isnt able to pair his bluetooth headset for his birthday today scanning... inquiry failed: Connection timed out " is occuring :D [22:23] why does it take so long do download ubuntu...i mean come on....i have 10Mb internet with nothing else running on it...ugh [22:23] when i write alsamixer following sliders come in the terminal: [22:23] dampit07_, site is always overloaded use torrents [22:23] it is working fine in windows [22:24] i need help with loading music player in webpage [22:24] dampit07_, pick a better mirror - try the heanet one they have bandwidth on a _huge_ scale [22:24] con-man : sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [22:24] does anyone have any idea if I should have hddtemp run as a daemon at startup? [22:24] nick1: Sorry for the delay. have you tried copying it to your ~/.themes directory? [22:24] Mudassar: see if any sliders affect the headphones volume. You will see more sliders if you hit the right arrow key.

If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [22:27] very much a newbie!!!

Was the failure on a different filesystem, perhaps? [22:29] nick1: Yes, I did. http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Aurora+Gtk+Engine?content=56438 says that you should copy them to ~/.themes/ [22:30] sc006, can you tell me what this means ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/10078/ [22:30] i choose the nvidia driver [22:30] Im looking at setting up an imap mail server to keep e-mails on ther server, Is there a way to do the same thing with personal address books in outlook & thunderbird?

[22:40] SitUbuntuSit: Ive replaced the Xorg.conf with the one that was before the problem but this did not fix the issue [22:40] saxsux - everyone seems to be saying to completely remove ndiswrapper from your system, put in the gusty CD, turn off your internet connection, and 'sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper' [22:40] is the driver still enabled in hardware drivers? [22:40] is there a shortcut to open a terminal window that will be in the same dir you have open in nautilus? [22:40] saxsux- actually, i'm pretty sure that isn't the package name, but you get my point [22:40] SitUbuntuSit: its not listed there [22:41] thelo ena kalo mail client gia to kubuntu 8.04 [22:41] randomoutburst: try testdisk [22:41] ok thanks [22:41] adilson: perhaps try creating a new user named test in failsafe mode: 'sudo adduser test'. Then log in as that. [22:41] ok, let me shorten up my problem this time. I installed Gutsy Friday (Before you say it, this problem is also keeping me from upgrading to hardy). To cut a long story short after letting gutsy update itself today, it's ignoring my nvidia driver and running any sudo apt-get commands get and error saying to run sudo dpkg --configure -a to fix the problem. wellt hat command also results in errors. [22:41] i need some help setting up midentd, i installed it but the deamon needs to be started manually. Which way should I go xinetd or init.d? [22:41] unop: Are you still here?

[22:42] ok thenks [22:42] please help me....how can install my wi-fi card on ubuntu [22:42] Surlent777, that's a start, isn't it? :) [22:42] My login screen resolution is way off. I've edited xorg.conf and set to 1024 768 but it still sets to 800x600 or larger???? Do the login themes have config files that supercede the xorg.conf file? [22:42] SitUbuntuSit: I removed the virtualbox stuff [22:43] soundray: nope cause i'll have to log out of here since failsafe terminal doesnt allow more than two instances [22:43] christos :np [22:43] tmapj: Your question might be answered in http://forum.deluge-torrent.org/ [22:43] here we go: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10089/ [22:43] its like Ubuntu is ignoring my xorg.conf [22:43] saxsuxs thanks [22:43] _derspankster: try installing pyNeighborhood, it will let you mount the network shares into the filesystem, so instead of "smb://server/sharename" the files will appear at something like "/home/user/mnt/sharename" and they will be accessible to any programs like VLC [22:43] Is Ubuntu usually slow when run from a CD for the first time?? [22:43] soundray: can you recommend a way to fix problem while in irssi [22:43] I'm also not convinced my nvidia install, which worked great in Gutsy, survived the Hardy upgrade. [22:44] Masashi: Yes, Running off the CD will be a lot slower [22:44] Masashi: like how slow? [22:44] Masashi: It will be slower than runnung from your hard drive, but shouldn't be too slow. [22:44] I'm not too familiar... maybe sudo dpkg-reconfigure xorg or something [22:44] *running [22:44] Masashi: And doubly slow if you have a poor drive [22:44] maybe the driver [22:44] to kubuntu 8.04 poy exo mporo na to exo kai sta ellinika? [22:44] The CD drive is roaring and it takes forever to move the mouse. === selocol_ is now known as selocol [22:44] Yeah, this laptop is old. [22:44] how to popup GRUB LIST if 'timeout' set to zero?

Please help fixing this problem, I dont want to do clean install? [22:44] Surlent777, so, what problems are you facing? [22:44] and default system set to Windows? ( [22:44] ugh my ubuntu is crippled and this sucks [22:44] unop: Yeah, it's a start, but I was hoping to finish it; here's the output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10091/ [22:44] adilson: if it happens again with a new user, then the problem is system-wide -- I would then recommend a reinstall. If it doesn't then the problem is in the config of your original user, and you will be able to fix it by resetting the config (rm -rf ~/.gnome* ~/.gconf*' [22:44] RequinB4: Any suggestions for installing the older kernel, or should I not bother and just wait for a fix? [22:45] without LiveCD [22:45] christos : Can you say it in English I´m noz to good in greeki [22:45] adilson: Have you tried Failsafe GNOME? [22:45] hello everybody [22:45] saxsux: adilson is in failsafe [22:45] saxsux - depends on how fast you need internet. I couldn't tell you have to install the older kernel, sorry [22:45] soundray: Whoops! Sorry :( [22:45] soundray: will try sudo adduser test [22:45] omg [22:45] this is retarded [22:46] Masashi: since it has to extract everything, it's gonna take a while, if you're on old hardware, it might be worth it to install with the alternate cd [22:46] adilson: and, no, there is no way to tell whether it has worked without logging out and quitting irssi [22:46] saxsux: yup it dont work same result only failsafe terminal works which gives irssi [22:46] unop: I ran that last command because Update Manager told me to [22:46] I have the restricted driver installed but its not on the list [22:46] wtf [22:46] is aptitude full-upgrade the equivalent to apt-get dist-upgrade ? [22:46] con-man Please avoid the commentary and ask your question.. wtf is NOT acceptable in channel [22:46] Surlent777, well, that doesn't like anything major .. but try this .. sudo mv -v /usr/share/applications/screensavers/ubuntu_theme.desktop{,.bkp} [22:46] blahblahx :yes but you can check in man aptitude [22:46] adilson: listen to soundray. He seems cleverer than me. :P [22:46] Jack_Sparrow: question has been asked already [22:46] Surlent777, and then attempt that again [22:47] con-man again, please drop the commentary and rude shorthand [22:47] unop: alright, one moment [22:47] soundray: brb [22:47] RequinB4: No worries. Thanks for trying. :) [22:47] saxsux: it's just that I'm in this conversation from when he first asked [22:47] Jack_Sparrow: heard you the first time, I will, I promise [22:47] Jack_Sparrow: just a little frustrated [22:47] _derspankster: Movie Player is able to use the system smb:// mount but i have found that only some programs to do this. pyNeighborhood uses SMBFS to make the share appear like a regular file, so then it should work no matter what program you are using [22:47] unop: That first command made Kicker restart itself. Is that bad? [22:47] con-man understood.. [22:48] Surlent777, probably not, it might have been intended [22:48] Jack_Sparrow: Do the login themes have a config file that supercede resolutions in xorg.conf?

[22:50] I'm scared now; that's my video card [22:50] soundray: There is no native driver for my chipset. It's ndiswrapper or nothing, unfortunately. [22:50] Surlent777, doesn't look like the command worked .. try this again. sudo mv -v /usr/share/applications/screensavers/ubuntu_theme.desktop{,.bkp} [22:50] Anja7: the ' ticks are backticks. It's better to do "find /lib/modules/$(uname -r) | grep snd" [22:50] Does Ubuntu should work "out of the box" with Windows Network? [22:50] how do I tell what video driver is in use? [22:51] ok that's what i typed - i just wanted to make sure [22:51] thanks [22:51] just a few times today [22:51] saxsux: too bad. What chipset is it?

[23:34] xbj9000: because PulseAudio is configured to use hw:* by default in 8.04.

As I've said, the little graphic which is supposed to show up when you change vol does show up, but the actual volume doesn't change. [23:41] Yeah. === _Scott_ is now known as A^A [23:41] lmosher: sorry, my mistake. -- You might have a look at tuxmobil.org -- they list installation reports for laptops, perhaps someone else has found a fix for your issue [23:41] con-man: reboot see if anything happens [23:42] sc006: ok [23:42] Starnestommy ok so something like grep ? [23:42] thats it? [23:42] LF: maybe "grep" is what you want? check out http://www.granneman.com/techinfo/linux/commandline/findstuff/grep.htm [23:42] ffporto: grep "word" filename [23:42] Romanian: Open up the mixer and use the volume buttons, and see which mixer its affecting.. [23:42] anyone ever heard of ".tnj" ofr a file extenison? [23:42] spdf: Buttons don't affect mixer.

Sorry I can't be more help. Again, I fixed mine by working out proper device and channel to control. No idea why it would have changed though. Sorry. [23:43] spdf: I've only tried Alsamixer, and none of those change. [23:43] KindOne, Windows does not see Linux partitions [23:43] KindOne: you can install a file system driver for ext3, for example ext2fsd [23:43] test [23:43] Romanian: Check [23:43] crimsun: It's working! Thank you! [23:43] soundray: well, i left out the first part. i read up on dpkg and ran a few command with sudo dpkg -i --force-all /var/cache/apt/archives/ udev_113-0ubuntu17_amd64.deb finally allowing me to run apt-get to install util-linux. Hooray for reading comprehension. [23:43] atrain_: that is strange, i might suggest switching to/from proprietary drivers, but im not sure if that is the problem :D [23:43] Romanian: Check http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=79717 [23:44] Wait, no!

I miss my Cube with classic Camaros on caps [23:51] Simonft: Will do [23:51] spdf it says command not found [23:51] Simonft, yeah, it worked fine in Feisty, but not in Gutsy.

[23:51] any guides to doing 'The Switch' without uninstalling windows? [23:52] Is there an ubuntu installer for xp? I remember someone talking about it.

I would like to dual boot xp and ubuntu :) [23:52] and there are guides for doing a dual-boot either way [23:53] Cahan: I need to go. try googling the namem of the wireless device and hardy, and if that does not work, ask on here again.

[23:53] reportingsjr: I think it installs without partitioning, and it creates a boot entry in the Windows boot loader. Otherwise it's like dual booting [23:54] reportingsjr: I thought I was talking to rascal999, sorry [23:54] could i please ask the command using apt? to find the package that provides a particular file ?? i need libstdc++.so.5 [23:54] No partitio...?

You're not running ubuntu from "inside windows" though, you select it from the windows boot loader when the system boots [23:54] bouma, u need build-essential [23:54] hi all [23:54] JohnPhys, oh [23:54] sc006: it didnt work, its going to be more time efficient for a resinstall of ubuntu [23:54] mushroom : look for a tutorial on slyck [23:54] bouma: libstdc++5 probably installs that [23:54] JohnPhys, i'm pretty sure it boots into a part of the windows partition tho, not a new one [23:55] hello, anyone know why my processor is running at 100%, Its a 3.0 Ghz Extreme and I dont really have any programs running [23:55] that's, secsy [23:55] usser: thx, also i recall someone telling me another package that can be used to find the package given the filename [23:55] so if you get say a virus that fubars windows, your stuck [23:55] I just install ubuntu desktop, the password for root is no good after the installlation [23:55] fiyawerx: That is correct, yes.

Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [23:55] fiyawerx: is it a folder or a filesystem image file?

I'm not sure how what exactly is handling the read/writes on the ubuntu "file" on the ntfs system [23:56] "sudo su" ?

In my case, I have an older board where a larger stick of ram is only detected at half its size, which is fine, but ubuntu is trying to use it all [23:58] mushroomsven:ok,I have a feeling it has to do with the desktop cube [23:58] I added the notification area.... but i think i know how to get it to work...
