So I did a totally new fresh install and everything now works [00:03] okay, so, for mounting my flash drive - it's not mounting automatically, and /dev/sdb1 doesn't work [00:03] hello, I have an xubuntu install with ~/ on an encrypted (cryptsetup/LUKS) partition, I want to install Hardy, fresh install, will the installer see the partiton and allow me to reuse it as ~/ ? [00:03] tommy, you had video problems in particular? [00:03] DIL, where can I get forensic tools like dd and autopsy? [00:03] tommy, Hardy in general [00:04] SeaPhor, well i do only use onboard solutions from intel or nvidia so i never checked for cards but i think realtek cards should work fine [00:04] trebel, hardy in general but a new install instead of upgrading, fixed it [00:04] yeah, that's where i'm at, reminds me of...vista [00:04] trebel, why cant you do a new fresh install, using ALTERNATIVE ISO? [00:04] how do i tell if a certain program is running? (folding@home) [00:04] spanther, hehe ok ;) [00:04] Plummet: the ps command [00:05] tommy: i'm not just using packages, i have a lot of source builds also that i'd like to keep intact [00:05] tommy, dd is a linux tool and you can install autopsy from the repos [00:05] Plummet, type ps -A [00:05] I'm unable to make my external monitor work correctly. Can any1 help me? I tried the opensource drivers (nvidia) and I could only get the cloned screen mode. Now with the NVidia drivers, I cant even get my external monitor to work at all. [00:05] Plummet: ps aux | grep -i folding [00:05] thanks [00:05] DIL: now that you've mentioned that, evolution's about says 'Copyright © 1999 - 2008 Novell, Inc. and Others'.

[00:05] !twinview [00:05] xinerama is an extension to !X to use two or more physical displays as one large virtual display. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo - See also !DualHead [00:05] tommy, but most microsoft hardware (keyboards and mouses) except of these older standard ones dont work completely sure microsoft has no problems with that because they give out drivers for their products for windows so yeah they dont care x.x but speedlink or logitech is a better choice for mouse and keyboard [00:06] Plummet, yeah np. I use "ps -A" a lot myself to see whats running [00:06] tommy: just sad that its come to this, rather than fix something in linux, i have to format and reinstall, if that's what i wanted i'd still use windows [00:06] spanther, ok makes sense [00:06] cool [00:06] trebel, if you have time and patience, I am sure there a solution though [00:06] trebel, have you asked a ubuntu developer? [00:06] rodolfo, i meant hotmail not Evolution [00:07] tommy: no, do you know one? [00:07] DIL: I see.. :P [00:07] . [00:07] trebel, Envy & Automatix2 don't have Hardy Heron versions yet do they? [00:07] tommy, they dont build them with standards they build them how they like to design it and they build their own chips inside of their mouses so most dont work with all buttons at linux cause there are no drivers for linux given out from microsoft :) only left and right button has standard or maybe mousewheel too (sometimes) at microsoft mouses [00:08] DIL: and that happens only for hotmail? [00:08] tommy: Automatix is dead, so no. [00:08] tommy: envyng is in universe [00:08] DIL: no way to get around it? [00:08] trebel, the only solution I found, but please realise I am a noob, was to do a fresh install instead of upgrading. But thwere may be a solution for you upgrading [00:08] Could someone please help me get my Microsoft (gasp!, it was cheap) Wireless Laser Desktop 4000 working? Everything appears to work fine except for the middle mouse button... the wheel works fine, though. Also, if you have info on how to configure the extra keys, I would accept that :) [00:08] Flannel, Automatix is dead? what happened? [00:08] Okay.... I have had it! I can not connect to my wireless in my Ubuntu 8.04! is there a way to put the old 7.10 nm-applet on to my 8.04 without any problems ???? [00:08] key for my ubuntu archives is giving me an error, it worked fine prior ? [00:08] tommy: i've seen envy, but haven't heard anything about automatix, i'm just pissed my kernel headers are all messed up [00:08] tommy: the developers all had other stuff to do [00:08] tommy, microsoft ever wants to make their own standards you know that hehe :) [00:08] virtuald, do you know a solution to trebels challenge? [00:08] rodolfo, if i understood your ? you wanted to fwd mail from hotmail to Evolution, is that correct [00:09] http://paste.ubuntu.com/10833/ I have posted the exact error message here [00:09] i didn't follow [00:09] I'm unable to make my external monitor work correctly. Can any1 help me? I tried the opensource drivers (nvidia) and I could only get the cloned screen mode. Now with the NVidia drivers, I cant even get my external monitor to work at all.

I see 3 different cursor themes being used so far :p [00:10] Hello Everyone. Quick question. I know flash runs in firefox in Ubuntu. But can you run Shockwave in Ubuntu? [00:10] Dante123: there are a few of those sorts of programs, but I'm unfamiliar with xfire. What are you looking to do? [00:10] tommy, with internet explorer 7 they tried to make their own standards for websites too but now IE7 just works crappy at some pages and FF or opera is much better now :) IE7 crashes at some pages lol just a stupid build xD [00:10] trebel, have u tried to manusally edit the xorg.conf?

I looking for help on enabling my microphone:( [00:11] or at least the broadcom adaptor is listed in the lspci command [00:11] trebel, danmn, ok, sorry I cannot be any help [00:11] tommy: ok, you can try installing envyng, it's in universe. i haven't tried it myself, the normal method for installing nvidia drivers works for me [00:11] tommy, noscript is the best security tool to browse websites without letting evil code run :D [00:11] tommy, no worries, thanks for the try [00:11] virtuald, thats for trebel , not me :P [00:11] yes [00:11] kitche: So if I browse to a site that uses Shockwave, it won't render? [00:11] baah this is too fast [00:12] virtuald, lol === davide is now known as sidelil [00:12] am tyeerd [00:12] DIL: I've started telnet [127.0.0.1 110] and it used to work just fine. after trying to send an email, evolution doesn't get connected anymore [00:12] anyone?? [00:12] tommy, i've visited virus infected sites once to test noscript it worked very well i have no problems its faster and no virus alerts xD [00:12] :> [00:12] i'll give it a try [00:12] Crusader_Tech3: I never use shockwave even on Windows for me Flash handles all of that [00:12] trebel, have u tried envyng? [00:12] no not yet [00:12] excuse me is there a way to use firefox 2 in Hardy without uninstalling firefox 3? [00:12] trebel, may be worth a shot [00:12] rsvampire: whats lspci say exactly? [00:12] yeah, i'm getting the packages now [00:12] rsvampire: for the wireless part at least [00:12] tommy, what did you mean when you wrote that virtuald would have a solution? a solution for what? :) [00:13] sidelil, why would u want to use an older firefox?

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.

[00:14] i guess i have to download the themes for emerald [00:14] iceman84x, se vuoi parlare in italiano digita /join #ubuntu-it [00:14] Crusader_Tech3: and if you look at about:plugins you actually see Shockwave listed [00:14] tommy, surely most microsoft mouses you can get to work much better with some workarounds then more buttons work but hell yeah :) its just a hassle to use these hardware at linux better go get other brands who follow real standards so that linux supports them 100% [00:14] sidelil, whats supported in old FF thats not supported in FF3?

[00:18] I'm having problems mounting flash drives - they don't mount automatically and "mount /dev/sda1" (what I did before upgrading to Hardy Heron) says that sda1 is already mounted on "/". does anyone here have any idea of what I can do? [00:18] sidelil, is that what you are after? [00:18] skype I guess [00:19] oh wait... [00:19] is this the official ubuntu support irc?

[00:20] tommy, i just wanted to be sure that you don't think i talk alot and know less everything i saw i definitively know too 100% otherwise i would say "i think" or say nothing :P [00:20] What [00:20] sidelil, Go to System → Administration → Software Sources and make sure you have enabled all software package repositories. Now open the Synaptic Package Manager and look for the following packages [00:20] rsvampire: did you see this? http://leorockway.wordpress.com/2008/04/25/0c000-network-controller-broadcom-corporation-bcm94311mcg-wlan-mini-pci-rev-01-for-hardy-heron/ [00:20] What's the name of the AddRemove program? [00:20] amenado: i have no idea what that means, let alone how to do it [00:20] sidelil, * firefox * firefox-3.0 * firefox-3.0-dev * firefox-3.0-gnome-support [00:20] thruxton: yeah, thing is the broadcom adaptor used to show up in the restricted drivers manager and you could enable it and load the firmware [00:20] Could someone advice me an audio player (Winamp or maybe there's smth better? I need audio library and fast functionality) and file manager ? like Total Commander or such ? [00:20] sidelil, Right click on all of these packages and “Mark for Removal”. Now find the following packages and right click to “Mark for Installation” [00:21] thruxton: the only thing listed in my restricted drivers manager is the nvidia card [00:21] gobbo then its a good time for you to google a tutorial on mounting file system on linux.. you will learn a lot [00:21] sidelil, * firefox-2 * firefox-2-gnome-support [00:21] what version of ubuntu 7.10 should i download for an amd turin 64 2x? [00:21] sidelil, Click Apply once and then again click Apply. This will remove Firefox 3 beta 5 and will download and install Firefox 2. The web browser can then be accessed from Applications → Internet → Firefox 2 Web Browser [00:21] Flannel will look into mumble...thanks [00:21] sidelil, there you go! easy as that :) [00:21] naught102, thanks. On the official firefox web site it says that tab mix plus is not currently available for firefox 3. [00:21] AndreSantos: either 386 or AMD64, depending on whether you want to run 32 bits or 64 bits [00:21] can anyone help me with x11vnc on ubuntu running as service before login [00:21] I'm a Linux noob and have a question about 7.10 [00:21] [Flannel]: so 386 for 32 bits?

I have 0.3.6... I'll try to find where I got it from [00:22] Hey guys, I just did a fresh install of Hardy, and I've notice it's been a little laggy. I see "scrollkeeper-up" is consuming a TON of CPU in top. Is it just indexing or is this abnormal? [00:22] sidelil, you dont even have the courteousy to aknowledge the effort and time I am putting into finding that for you [00:22] tommy, i have already done what you've just said. My point is not uninstalling firefox 3 [00:22] thruxton: yeah it is, I got this card to work just like that under Gutsy and fiesty [00:22] :-* [00:22] amenado, heya, good to see ya [00:23] sidelil, are you delusional dude? you asked earlier how to install OLD FF on Hardy, and now you say: My point is not uninstalling firefox 3 [00:23] Datalanche-> perhaps it is..so give it a few to let it organize your system [00:23] thruxton: just open Res Drive Manager and click enable driver, it would ask for the firmware and install ndiswrapper, but it's not even showing with 8.04 [00:23] SeaPhor-> howdy.. [00:23] sidelil, are you on medication dude? LOL [00:23] sidelil: try version 0.3.6: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addons/versions/1122 [00:23] i have 01 in front of aLL MY MP3S HOW CAN I GET RIDE OF IT ? [00:23] ah, speak of the devil. Looks like it stopped, heh. Thanks [00:23] rsvampire: i usually use module-assistant for that stuff, not sure how helpful that is in your case though [00:24] I was wondering if anyone here has been having problems with mounting nfs? [00:24] naught102, i've tried it but it still says that is not compatible [00:24] sidelil: try this directly then: http://tmp.garyr.net/tab_mix_plus-dev-build.xpi [00:24] kitche: Thanks for the info. I appreciate it. [00:24] I'm running dual boot XP and 7.10. Today I booted into Ubuntu and while loading it hung and went to a screen that said something akin to"24th boot -- force check of root system." It then checked the root files and went to a completely black screen. I could type but it wouldn't accept any console commands. Any ideas? I did not try to boot in recovery mode just forced restart into XP and... [00:24] ...came here. [00:24] that's the one I have and it works [00:24] Ubuntu 7.10 is Like Windows 2000 pro and Windows xp... its runs GREAT.... Buy Ubuntu 8.04 is like Windows Vista........ its Poo [00:25] hehe [00:25] Could someone please help me get my Microsoft (gasp!, it was cheap) Wireless Laser Desktop 4000 working? Everything appears to work fine except for the middle mouse button... the wheel works fine, though. Also, if you have info on how to configure the extra keys, I would accept that :) [00:25] naught102, thank you, this one is working. Thanks a lot! [00:25] KindOne, lol how so xD for me it works well :) [00:25] SeaPhor perhaps this article is a read for you.. http://www.linux.com/feature/132701 [00:25] KindOne: usually a week or so is when I upgrade after a new release [00:25] no worries [00:25] KindOne: It's a step backward, I agree... but it WILL get better and fast :) [00:25] !mouse | McRib [00:25] McRib: Enabling extra mouse buttons: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManyButtonsMouseHowto - Enabling serial mouse: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialMouseHowto [00:25] !repomirror [00:25] Go to "System", "Administration", and "Software Sources" and choose "Other" from the drop down box. Then choose "select best server" and your system will choose the fastest mirror for you automatically. [00:25] KindOne you gotta be kidding on hardy [00:25] Is there any way to get the keyboard shortcuts of ratpoison but with a prettier interface? [00:25] hi [00:26] going crazy trying to figure out how to get Button3 and Button4 switched. [00:26] McRib how a step backward??? [00:26] Flannel: Thank you. I don't suppose you could tell me why Konversation won't open links in Firefox for me, could you? I've set the custom web browser to 'firefox %u' too... no avail. [00:26] amenado, yeah, i told ya about upgrading vs fresh install right? [00:26] any reason why ubottu won't respond to my private messages? [00:26] thruxton: so should I try this walkthrough now for the wireless card? [00:26] My Wifi won't work.... I only got it too work in yesterday for like 30 minutes ..... [00:26] or does anyone know how i can make any app start up when booting before login so it is a system service [00:26] wow [00:27] this channel is huge [00:27] what is the video player of choice on Ubuntu? Not a big fan of Movie Player, it's just basic playback. I was hoping for something that would let me use SHIFT+RightArrow to skip to the next keyframe. I've tried VLC, which is better, but is there some other recommendations? [00:27] rsvampire: sudo m-a prepare ndiswrapper && sudo m-a a-i ndiswrapper && sudo ndiswrapper -i /path/to/windows/INF.file [00:27] lol [00:27] hi btw [00:27] unbunto sucks [00:27] eric`: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:27] McRib: I'm unfamiliar with Konversation, does it open them in something else? or just not opening at all? [00:27] hello ppl now its a silly question i know but i want to login to sftp via root but im not able to can i ask how i can enable this [00:27] Dante123: Just in terms of stability... and installing Beta software by default. For me anyway. [00:27] rsvampire: not sure, your call. [00:27] radster: You don't want to login via root. [00:27] it's really amazing how there are virtually no good (from what I've been able to find) good docs out there showing you how to change your mouse button mappings. I'm simply trying to make Middle mouse and my "Button4" swap places. [00:27] kindone.... I left a couple of links to the theards on a private chat window [00:27] rsvampire: I'm afraid i dont know much about that card :-\ [00:27] Flannel: It doesn't open them at all. When I set the "firefox %u" command, it will open a new item in the tasklist for "Opening Firefox 2" but it never actually does. [00:27] i do if i login under my name into sftp it tells me i cant modify or create any folder [00:27] McRib: Konversation-related questions would better be answered in #Kubuntu [00:27] Trae: use xmodmap [00:27] this was the default action with my Ubuntu 7.04 setup not sure why it was changed [00:27] McRib: Interesting, yeah, I'd ask in #kubuntu [00:28] it's installed by default in Kubuntu, not so with Ubuntu [00:28] MachinTrucChose: Good call. [00:28] jrib, I've read all through it and can't figure out what's up. [00:28] anyony help i have lost my desktop envierment [00:28] radster, login as root is a really bad idea it kills security [00:28] okay.... um... [00:28] jrib, I've dug into imwheel and xmodmap and such [00:28] yeto, I don't see the links ..... [00:28] so... anyone got expercience with alsamixer and non working microphones?!?!?!? [00:28] is ubuntuforums.org down? [00:28] when i do sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils reset i get a "amixer: invalid command" how do i fix this ? [00:28] quick question: how easy would it to replicate the simple "Applications / Places / System" look in KDE, if I didn't want the Windows-style start menu? [00:29] im on the forums ...... [00:29] Trae: look at the example in 'man xmodmap' regarding the "pointer" expression [00:29] SeaPhor-> yeah you told me, i happen to come across that article, so maybe it may help you with your rt2xx chips [00:29] spanther: i know but how else do i modofy my files with sftp another way, ok is it possible for me to use the default location /var/www/as my folder IE i dont want to create another user [00:29] Would someone who has Ubuntu experiance please PM me? [00:29] jrib, the problem I'm finding is... I don't know what to put for this line in my xorg.conf: Option "ButtonMapping" "1 2 3 4 5 6 7" etc. [00:29] <_Andrew> I have a problem. The clock on the top right on my screen is wrong by one hour but the time set under my location is correct. If I set the time to be one hour ahead which is incorrect it corrects the time displayed, but now my system time is wrong.. [00:29] rsvampire: that guide looks retty recent so it might work [00:29] Trae-> stay on the channel please so others can share the learnings [00:29] Trae: xmodmap has nothing to do with xorg.conf [00:29] _Andrew: check to make sure you are in daylight vs staandard time [00:30] radster, you want to connect to a server and then upload website files to it? [00:30] <_Andrew> K_the_Bear, How would I do that please? [00:30] amenado, I went back to 7.10 and got all updates and such and could not get the wireless to work, so I upgraded instead of fresh install and followed the steps i posted and it worked right away, for about 30 min, and hasn't since :-)) [00:30] rather that was for K_the_Bear [00:30] _andrew: e.g. do you have PST selected or PDT [00:30] What's up with the Ubuntu website? apt-get isn't working? [00:30] ChaosTheory_: That'd be your mirror, not the website itself [00:31] amenado, i will study the article in the link you sent me, and THANKS! [00:31] im running server at home on sep box i can connect via sftp but cant modify anything i got everything work but i dont want people to have to type in another folder name to view my site i would prefer it to be in the root if you understand what im saying because to be honest im not sure i do [00:31] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=197102&highlight=wireless+ndiswrapper [00:31] [sudo] password for rsvampire: [00:31] sudo: m-a: command not found [00:31] hello [00:31] :) [00:31] anyone get sound working in hardy with a GA-965P-DS3 ? [00:31] SeaPhor-> you may just have one of those lemon cards, you know like the lemon cars..no matter how many times you bring it to the shop, it just does not want to cooperate [00:31] i made my graphics work!! [00:31] i mute my audio but sound still comes out... i cant lower or raise the volume.. i have an IDT high definition audio [00:31] <_Andrew> K_the_Bear, I can't find any selection for that [00:31] rsvampire: what was the line before that? [00:31] Flannel: So what do I need to change? [00:31] i just had to un-overclock the mainboard... [00:31] _andrew: On your time zone selection screen there should be different options for "Standard" and "Daylight" Time [00:31] Are the Ubuntu Repos being hit hard still from the release of Hardy? I'm getting hit and miss performance when trying to do updates. [00:31] jrib, I'm doing xmodmap -pp not sure there is any useful info there [00:32] yeto, Thank You [00:32] I'm not booted into Ubuntu right now so I can't help you that much [00:32] jrib: the command thruxton gave me [00:32] ChaosTheory_: I believe you can do it in software sources [00:32] rsvampire: you need to install module-assistant first then [00:32] Trae: did you see the "pointer" example in the EXAMPLES section of the xmodmap man page? [00:32] luigi [00:32] Also, I'm a Linux noob, I just noticed that when selecting the timezone for install they were different options [00:32] jrib:rsvampire@rsvampire-laptop:~$ sudo m-a prepare ndiswrapper && sudo m-a a-i ndiswrapper && sudo ndiswrapper -i /WLANBroadcom/bcmwl5.inf [00:32] you mean.. using physical media buttons on your computer?

[00:32] anyony help i have lost my desktop envierment [00:32] I'm running dual boot XP and 7.10. Today I booted into Ubuntu and while loading it hung and went to a screen that said something akin to"24th boot -- force check of root system." It then checked the root files and went to a completely black screen. I could type but it wouldn't accept any console commands. Any ideas? I did not try to boot in recovery mode just forced restart into XP and... [00:32] This is great - almost everything's working how it should [00:32] ...came here. === bnjmn is now known as habernatch [00:33] It just won't connect to Windows shares - anyone know why? [00:33] anyone on the x11vnc topic? [00:33] thruxton: so sudo apt-get install module-assistant [00:33] rsvampire: yep [00:33] yeah yeto [00:33] ываываsdf [00:33] SeaPhor-> maybe that was me that spread the rumours..i did have an airlink 101 pci card and did work in one shot.. [00:33] hi, ubuntu does not see my dvd, how can i get it to see it [00:33] sound is working... but i could literally mute the volume but sound would still come out [00:33] SeaPhor-> but not a usb, a pci card [00:33] thruxton: for some reason the ubuntu servers are really slow the past 2 days === AndreX is now known as AndreSTC [00:33] rsvampire: yeah, everyones downloading hardy [00:34] um... go to a terminal and write alsamixer and then work on the buttons to see which controller you are moving [00:34] Anyone know why my system can't connect to windows shares? [00:34] Rokabilly, have you enabled dvd support [00:34] ? [00:34] thruxton: it timed out [00:34] how do you enable dvd support? [00:34] Is this a new install? [00:34] it shows as mute on the top toolbar but the sound wont mute [00:34] rsvampire: edit your sources to use another server maybe [00:34] !dvd > rokabilly (read the private message from ubottu) [00:34] rsvampire: something closer to home [00:34] thruxton: either way i've still got to install windows xp for a dual boot... so i'm sure once I get everything situated the servers will be back up and running [00:34] jrib, xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 4 5 6 7" see I don't know what to put where for my mouse in that line [00:34] amenado, dont matter what it is i'm tired of messing with it, its no-longer a project,, lol ,, do you remember the chipset? === AskHL_ is now known as AskHL [00:35] thruxton: so I guess i should just come back in a couple days eh?

[00:35] rsvampire: if you can wait sure [00:35] Trae: you need to figure out the numbers for the buttons you want to switch. Use 'xev' for that [00:35] rsvampire: either way good luck with it! [00:35] jrib, I tried doing 1 2 4 3 5 6 7 [00:35] new ubuntu install [00:35] i live in france and i m happy [00:35] yup i had the same problem.. what happened is that in pressed something by mistake and I ended up using the media buttons to control the aoudio on my mic!... but I solved it.. . [00:35] jrib, xev! that's what I need thanks [00:35] thruxton: alright, thanks man [00:35] just verify in alsamixer if something more is moving with your media buttons.. [00:36] <_Andrew> K_the_Bear, http://bayimg.com/MAJIPAaBJ [00:36] my system partially hangs sometimes [00:36] yeto only the master moves [00:36] jrib, muwhaha thank you! [00:36] where com from [00:36] im not sure how to determine whats getting stuck [00:36] arghhhh¬ [00:36] jrib, THAT is what I'd been looking for... xev.

[00:36] !dvd > rockabilly [00:36] ? [00:37] because if I put pci=nomsi in my boot options it will recognize my sata drive [00:37] amenado, I will buy one tonight if i know it will work strait off,,, just wanna make sure i get the right one with the right chipset [00:37] i.e. mouse still moves pointer, and certain gnome widgets still work [00:37] I have a server setup that connects to my router with a Linksys WUSB54G version 4, and I was very happy with it using Feisty, but I want to run programs that are not in the repos and are only available as a binary, unfortunatly the binary does not work in Feisty. So I upgraded to Gutsy, wireless broke, I googled and found this was a common problem and was very involved to fix, so I just decided to take the plunge and go with Hardy. [00:37] Unlike Gutsy, Hardy can connect to the network, it just can't do anything once connected, can't ping the router or anything. [00:37] hi.. i want to install ubuntu hardy from scratch.. what i should backup from Gutsy? [00:37] alexander: grab Avant Window Manager [00:37] than go to system>preferences>sound and then refer to DEFAULT MIXER TRACKS... your media buttons will control whichever you choose on it [00:37] _Andrew: Okay, that's a little weird. Sorry I can't help. [00:37] but process creation/termination no longer works, and I can't soft reboot [00:37] any experts out there can do a one 2 one its a simple question but not one i know the answer to [00:37] it's in the repos [00:37] !dvd > rockabily [00:38] hello all. i dont have sound in Amarok, but i can play mp3s in Rhythms box. anyone got any suggestions [00:38] Rok a Billy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs [00:38] I need to get mic boost option on alsamixer... does anyone knoe how to do that????? [00:38] irc://irc.abjects.net/beast-xdcc === habernatch is now known as bnjmn [00:38] nope... tried all of them... problem continues... [00:39] Cahan can you paste in pastebin your ifconfig; iwconfig; cat /etc/resolv.conf ; route -n; and lshw -C network [00:39] <_Andrew> yeto, alsa mixer -> edit -> preferences -> look in the list for mic boost [00:39] Rokabilly, _andrew: got to go. Hope you figure it out. [00:39] i think my best bet would be google and some seatching becase this place is way too busy for me [00:39] ? [00:39] why can't I change resolution above 1024 ? I had it more before installed driver [00:39] andrew... i tried that but there is no option for mic boost :(:( [00:39] What setting in compiz shuffles the windows like cards when you switch windows? :) [00:40] <_Net> Hi I have some issue I can't seem to be able to resolve. I installed Ubuntu but the volume of my computer is much lower now. I put my speakers to max to be able to hear normal [00:40] does anyone know how to use a wildcard in the hosts file? i'm tryin to block ALL of myspace. [00:40] <_Net> On my windows XP I can blast it. [00:40] ubuntu does not see the dvd drive! [00:40] Is there a way to output the raw data from my wireless card in something like a hex stream. I want to try using it for random number generation (it's not going to be all that random, I'm aware) [00:40] it only says external mic, internal mic, and docking mic... but no mic boost [00:40] I can not do anything with the dvd drive! [00:40] arrrghhh-> not in /etc/hosts file, perhaps in /etc/host.deny [00:41] Anyone know how to install Conkeror? [00:41] amenado, hrm... i'm used to redirecting sites to IP's... how does the host.deny file work? [00:41] how can my friend, who's using ubuntu now, reduce the FTP-connection timeout in nautilus? For example, he has his home-lan's IPs in bookmarks and if he accidentally selects one of those it locks it up [00:41] amenado, not really, the box is in my garage and I can't even ssh into it, but from what I could see ifconfig and iwconfig were fine (although the device label keeps changing with each version) [00:41] arrrghhh-> i dont have the fine details, but you may be able to man hosts.deny or google for it [00:41] How to get ubuntu to see the dvd drive, that is a IDE dvd drive [00:41] ? [00:42] hello just installed ubuntu (i have a laptop acertravelmate 2410 ) and ubuntu dosen't detect the battery corectly in gnome..

[00:42] Cahan-> hard to tell from what you just describe, you can either get a usb pen drive, go to the machine and dump the requested info, then paste it into pastebin [00:42] from 1 to 2 [00:42] Anyone know how to install Conkeror? [00:43] does ubuntu live cd have a repair previous hd install feature? [00:43] ok last try, anyone feel like helping eradicate the keyring ? I have edgy so putting blank master password just doesn't work [00:43] chaos, go to system>administration>synaptics package manager and search for konqueror there..

[00:43] amenado: like my install just stopped working [00:43] need help with my IDT 92HD71B8X??? [00:43] amenado: i guess is the filesystem [00:44] hi i have a newbie question, possibly better answered in on another channel, but.. if so maybe ya'll can point me in the right direction [00:44] how to get ubuntu to see the IDE dvd drive? [00:44] amenado: and b4 it just stopped, the compt kept crashing and everything was much slower than it is now on a fresh live cd [00:44] the question is, what to do if i can't get my pc to boot from cd [00:44] s3a has it ever completed the installations? [00:44] amenado: yaya everything wass ok and for months [00:44] need help with my IDT 92HD71B8X sound chip??

[00:45] s3a-> do you have another hd to put your backups? before really playing around and possibly not able to recover data.. [00:45] Anyone willing to help me fix my graphics configuration? [00:45] !list [00:45] 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 ;) [00:45] _Net: when you do that command, it opens a mixer in which you can increase the volume... [00:45] hey.. where do i get the alsamixer version which contains the mic boos option? [00:45] boost* [00:45] jrib, ok last stupid quest from me of the night. how do I make it so that when I log in my xmodmap line I have runs when X starts (gdm -- default Ubuntu here) [00:45] kohlrak, xconfig [00:46] <_Andrew> http://bayimg.com/MAJIPAaBJ <-- Anyone know how I fix this please? [00:46] yeto: which ubuntu are you using? [00:46] <_Net> einPaule: Ok thanks I'll give it a try. [00:46] hardy [00:46] rokabilly, what about in hardy? =p [00:46] hi everyone is there some reason why my wifi dosnt work some times when i boot up and other times it works fine? im using hardy [00:46] alas my connection dropped out for a second. So, any ideas about my machine refusing to boot from cd. i tried changing the BIOS settings, to no avail. [00:46] einpaule, im using hardy 8.04 [00:46] If your soundcard supports it, it should work... at least it works on mine [00:46] ye [00:46] tyeto [00:46] I am having a very difficult time getting my GeForce 9600 to work properly, mainly due to the drivers. I have followed at least 5 guides to no avail, hopefully someone here can point me in the right direction? [00:47] godlikeF-> am not sure what ubuntu liveCD can do to repair windows partitions, maybe you have to get one of those special ones to boot and recover ntfs partitions [00:47] mic boost does not appear in my alsamixer :( [00:47] Trae: well... in the past I just created a ~/.xmodmaprc (with "pointer blah blah" in it) and gnome picked it up automatically. But I don't know if that still works. You can place the xmodmap command in ~/.profile probably or just use system -> preferences -> session -> startup [00:47] yeto, mic boost is for windows only i think.... [00:47] I guess thats what i need to get my internal mic working [00:47] is there something to install to get ubuntu to see IDE dvd drive? [00:47] <_Net> einPaule: Awesome, It worked thanks :) [00:47] godlikeF-> i think like ultimate cd [00:48] jrib, k thanks tons mate. [00:48] Is anyone here familiar with the 9600 to help me? [00:48] <[T]an1> i am trying to run dvd:rip and its telling me that xine is not installed. is there just a xine package?

Good night everyone [00:48] amenado: an hd with max number of partitions and my other hds are like full [00:48] These drivers have been a real headache [00:48] Anyone know how to get direct rendering working for hardy? [00:48] and I am just ready for my display to show up properly [00:48] Hey, how can I tell the version number of the ATI Driver I have installed? I installed it from ati.com a while back, so I know its not what is in the restricted repo [00:48] Hi... In my last hardy install I had a menu option to choose my sound interface... IN this new installation, nothing appears... How could I set it back? [00:49] I can hear static when playing back something recorded... but nothing else.. [00:49] s3a am merely suggesting you backup the partitions to another just in case the recovery process dont work too well.. [00:49] jrib, and done. ;) [00:49] <_Net> :) [00:49] Hi... In my last hardy install I had a menu option to choose my sound interface... IN this new installation, nothing appears... How could I set it back? [00:49] yeto, what card do you have? [00:49] why does my wifi only work on some bootups? [00:49] s3a that way you have another backup to play with [00:49] amenado, resolv.conf has correct DNS entries, lshw -C network showed the device as connected with an IP, route -n had two entires, one was "Destination - 192.168.1.0 Gateway 0.0.0.0" and the other was "Destination 0.0.0.0 Gateway 192.168.1.1", could it be that it's trying to contact the router on 192.168.1.0 instead of 192.168.1.1? [00:49] It is a HDA Nvidia [00:49] kohlrak: HDA Nvidia [00:49] is anyone else experiencing this phenominon [00:50] Cahan-> thats the reason why I requested the info, its much easier to troubleshoot if it is laid out nicely..

[00:59] does anyone have PCI dvd drive? [00:59] Gokul: yeah, or the command that the other guy suggested, sudo apt-get -f dist-upgrade, but, sudo apt-get install -f is supposed to continue interrupted installs [00:59] bazhang: will that kill all my active activities? [00:59] does anyone have IDE dvd drive [00:59] ~ QUESTION ~ Does anyone know if it's possible to import a banshee playlist to rythmbox? You know, since they're about the same thing...

[01:02] cant get it to be controlled properly through the command line [01:02] whenever i enter a command, it opens a new instance of the player [01:02] rokabilly: When I first used Banshee, it asked me if I wanted to import stuff from rythmbox. Rythmbox/Banshee/another one are all the same *base* project [01:02] How can I get ide dvd drive to work in ubuntu?

That of course assumes you can boot properly. [01:05] stop being lazy [01:06] how can I restore to default everything from /apps/ ? (directorys/keys etc) === luis__ is now known as Mahtrix [01:06] Slipstrea1: just to finish, for hardy, you will have to manually install the drivers if you want them, but the drivers should be included with the interpid release. I don't know anything about manual driver installs [01:06] Flannel: i want to run fsck off of terminal and i want it to check thoroughly each filesystem/hd on my comp and after checking to fix the problems [01:07] is there a split-psfile package for ubuntu?

[01:09] anyone else had something like this happen? Have i been sucked into a botnet somehow? [01:09] nvrpunk: what happened? [01:09] danbhfive, I tried removing the package the other night, it rebooted [01:09] now this [01:09] Flannel: wat do u mean with all my partitions listed? and i run it by typing fsck in terminal? [01:09] I can't get the package back on [01:09] not sure on that one z1 [01:09] and it says its not fully removed [01:09] sFEARs, tried gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel/applets/applet_1 && killall -9 gnome-panel nothing.. applet_1 is missing [01:09] nvrpunk: can you run sudo apt-get install linux-generic ?

It says to enter in a blank dvd and there is already one there === mouseclone_ is now known as atlanix-org [01:10] user01, what are you trying to do; perhaps there is an alternative method for doing it [01:10] s3a: yeah. you won't be able to use the automatic options, since your fstab isn't the real one (since you're on the liveCD), so you'll just have to tell it what to do manually [01:10] danbhfive, yes but it tries to fetch the same package first and reboot [01:10] what's the command to reconfigure X? I need to just start over I think I've screwed up my configs big time. [01:11] yeto that the terminal alsa mixer? [01:11] trae gutsy or hardy [01:11] bazhang, 8.04 [01:11] Trae just reboot and press esc at the boot window - enter rescue mode - youll see a FIX X option [01:11] nvrpunk: it should not reboot FOR you. Its never done that for me [01:11] bazhang, i am trying to take a 500 page ps file and extract it to 500 one page ps files [01:11] Mimi, k [01:11] Flannel: :( anyway ill continue this tomorow cuz i have to go eat thx [01:11] ??

[01:12] user01, what did you apt-cache search for [01:12] nvrpunk: have you tried reinstalling the package? [01:12] cheesebob: it'll eventually be upgraded to 3.0 once it's released [01:12] bazhang, http://www.physics.usyd.edu.au/~rennie/ps_notes.html they talk about split-psfile [01:12] sFEARs, any ideea ?

Accidentally highlight the entire text and delete it. Press CTRL+Z or Undo in your browser. Nothing happens. Your work is lost forever. Actually, in Firefox 3 you can Undo, but you cannot Redo. In Epiphany you cannot Undo at all. I think this is pretty serious, my friend just lost an hours work and is very upset. Worth [01:13] reporting? And also, what gives? In both browsers Undo and Redo work fine on other software [01:13] no clue on that, just a reinstall but i'm sure that's overkill z1 [01:13] Mimi, recovery mode? [01:13] sFEARs, reinstall everything? [01:13] Starnestommy, i guess that makes sense [01:13] bazhang, it talks about ps2eps which is a package and split-psfile ps2eps exists [01:14] bloodrock: yes [01:14] that would take it back to default z1, but like i said, i'm sure that overkill [01:14] that is my terminal alsa mixer :S [01:14] I'm having trouble w/ my nvidia card & dual head setup after upgrading [01:14] sukuri: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/asc [01:14] yeto did you check your perferences via right clicking on speaker on your panel?

Setting that to "verbose" is supposed to tell me why my graphics card doesn't work... [01:18] ApOgEE-, "sudo ndiswrapper -i /home/name/Desktop/location_of_windows_driver.inf" if you don't get any errors after that then "sudo modprobe ndiswrapper" & things should work fine [01:18] triple my money back if I'm not 100% satisfied. :) [01:18] yeto then on perferences see if mic as a check in box [01:18] http://ophcrack.sourceforge.net/faq.php can anyone use the javascript? does it work for you? particulary the last one?

[01:19] z1: so... what sould be the complete path for that dir? /apps is surely wrong.

I have a problem with v4l and camserv... I previously tested 2 devices on my ubuntu, I can run 2 instances of xawtv at the same time for bt848 pci capture device and usb quickcam without problem but when I use camserv for my bt848, I receive error : (v4l) IOCLT : invalid agurment but not for my usb quickcam, it's weird [01:19] user01, psutils [01:19] i'm using 00:09.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4303 802.11b Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02) [01:19] oh, on gconf editor, Uhm === borg is now known as Bspec [01:19] bloodrock, my options here are: master, PCM, IE958, Digital, Docking Mic, External Mic and Internal Mic [01:19] x1250, gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel/applets/applet_1 ( i need back applet_1 ) [01:20] 3 weeks of research on the net without answer [01:20] yeto you gonna use a internel or external? [01:20] sFEARs: sudo modprobe ndiswrapper make my laptop hang [01:20] and i'm langing again :( [01:20] sounds like ndiswrapper is misconfigured [01:20] bazhang, psutils separates out pages? [01:21] danbhfive, yes I have, that reboots the box [01:21] x1250, any ideea what package to unistall? / reinstall that should set everything to default.. [01:21] danbhfive, its an endless cycle of having to reinstall it which in turn it reboots midway through [01:21] yeto in anycase if the box next to the mic listed is checked check that the mic or misc are not muted in mixer [01:21] sFEARs: how to check? it works fine now on .22 [01:21] internal... the mic comes installed on the laptop along with the webcam (which works) [01:21] user01, it contains psselect apparently--which will let you choose individual files from ps file [01:21] what is .22? ApOgEE- [01:21] danbhfive, i am trying to find a manual way of removing the package info from apt so it disregards its existence [01:21] none of them are muted, neither the internal, nor the external mic [01:22] nvrpunk: it should not reboot, it sounds like your install might be hosed. === zwox__ is now known as zwox [01:22] danbhfive, yeah I know :( I really hope not [01:22] sFEARs: i mean i'm booting to kernel 2.6.22-14-generic and it works fine [01:22] nvrpunk: do you have a separate /home partition? [01:23] z1: I don't think it would be possible with a package complete reinstallation. This problem is local (only in your home dir). If you must have it back, try deleting all gnome hidden folders, startx, and it should be back. But doing that you'll lose every gnome configuration. You'll get a default desktop. [01:23] z1: anyway, try #gnome [01:23] ohhh.. you may have to reload the windows drivers while your loaded into the different kernel [01:23] x1250, that no problem hmm [01:23] bloodrock: none of them are muted, neither the internal, nor the external mic [01:23] random as hell question, but any chance anyone here owns/has access to Hitchcock's Vertigo on DVD?

[01:24] x1250, it was a fresh install..let me try [01:24] appleguru, that is offtopic here thanks [01:24] z1: if thats no problem, then thats your fix. [01:24] bazhang: I know [01:24] nvrpunk: anyway, IMHO, you should create a separate /home use !clone or !backup, and do a clean install [01:24] but I'm desperate :P [01:24] mine has a bigass scratch on a scene I need to show for class tomorrow :( [01:24] can anyone agree that as of yesterday's updates from hardy-proposed, evolution now prompts for passwords which are already saved? [01:24] appleguru, not the place to discuss thanks [01:24] each new kernel you boot into ApOgEE- you may have to reconfigure ndiswrapper [01:24] z1: try loggin out, ctrl+alt+f2 and login from a tty. Delete all gnome config files and dirs, and then login from gdm again [01:25] hi, what happened to cksfv in hardy? apt can't find the package [01:25] it should be back...

[01:28] did any file system things change with the latest release..seems I can no longer mount a drive with the same command [01:28] bazhang, im reading the man file, it looks like it will only output to one file [01:28] Is it possible to configure X in 8.04? dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg will not attempt to detect hardware [01:28] rokabilly, sure what is your issue [01:28] linxdev > xconfig [01:29] sarah_bear, i think you can open synaptic under system > administration and search for the gcc compiler, but i think there is a build-essentials package for which you could search too [01:29] rokabilly: E: Couldn't find package xconfig [01:29] blank dvd not seen, and dvd drive not seen. [01:29] how did you get ubuntu to see the dvd drive? [01:29] I've manully configured X via vim because the all knowing Xorg did not detect my card and monitor correctly [01:30] weird, I think I figured it out, my other drive is now has a "1" after it [01:30] linxdev > can configure x with xconfig [01:30] is there a way to rename a drive? [01:31] In 7.10 all I did was dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg. It then detects my hardware. With 8.04 that step is skipped [01:31] ugh... what a pain I've spent 6hrs trying to get this damned MX400 laser mouse working right. It was working fine with Ubuntu 7.04 [01:31] Well, I opened a bug report http://trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6930 [01:31] bazhang, psselect -p8,9,6,11,4,13,2,15 outfile.ps, but i want outfile8.ps, outfile9.ps . . . etc [01:31] Xorg told me that my card could only handle 1024x768. This was not true. I had to manually edit xorg.conf to get 1680x1050 (Wide Screen) [01:32] how can i install cksfv under hardy? apt can't find the package [01:32] Trae: Did you save your xorg.conf from 7.04? [01:32] linxdev, that would have been smart huh? [01:32] linxdev, :( [01:32] Can I have multiple sources in my sources.list? [01:32] HELLO!!! [01:33] user01, how about convert ps to pdf then print single pdf pages [01:33] dany: what [01:33] linxdev, let's say I nuked my xorg.conf file. how do I get another one? [01:33] Trae: 8.04 is fubar IMO the way Xorg detects. I installed 7.10. configured my X myself using dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and made a backup. I then upgraded [01:33] this is my first time in linux!!! [01:33] ok? [01:33] dany: sooo? [01:33] Xorg currently can not detect correctly [01:33] dany:What do you want help with [01:33] linxdev, yeah... yeah... it's busted that's for sure. [01:33] Hey there, i have setup a ssh server(openssh) and am connecting to my pc via ssh and vnc(tightvnc from my workplace windows xp machine) though how secure is this? [01:33] linxdev > good point. it does not install by default. you have to install it or find what package it comes in. [01:33] excuseme [01:33] congratulations dany, i guess i'll be the representative welcome to #ubuntu [01:34] I learned the dpkg trick when using 7.10 livecds with LCDs. The default refresh was TOO HIGH [01:34] dany:What? [01:34] thanks [01:34] so [01:34] i have [01:34] linxdev > but if you install it, it can configure x [01:34] a lot of difficult tu use ubuntu [01:34] Dany:Such as? [01:34] dany: Please dont use the enter key as punctuation, thanks. [01:34] try to keep your comments to one line, there's lot of traffic in this room [01:34] On LCDs and livecd I had to go to a VT and reconfigure X [01:34] bazhang, or ... i do not know programming, but could there be a program where p = number of pages n = 0, n = n +1 so that . . . [01:34] I found a bug in Ubuntu security. When you go to "suspend", and try to get back in, you can bypass the password screen by using the control-alt-click and drag (rotate the cube). [01:35] why not??? [01:35] userlol when it comes to winblows um nothing is secure [01:35] Brent^: report it [01:35] Brent^: Have you logged a bug? [01:35] user01, you want to try that way?

[01:36] bazhang, is it simpler as a pdf? [01:36] tommy i dont know... [01:36] linxdev: xconfig is part of Xorg [01:36] I am trying to get my mic working. Right now, it... kinda works, but I have to almost have the mic in my mouth to hear myself, and the quality isn't too great. Is there a boost or something I need to turn on?

[01:40] ToddEDM, sadly it is offtopic here [01:40] :( [01:40] linxdev, i didn't figure that out... i found a package called Gmount-iso. i'm gonna check it out. [01:40] I get "operation not supported by backend" when trying to in the file browser [01:40] sFEARs, ok but I don't lose decorations permantely just on a rare occasion i thought there was a command just to reset but ok [01:40] Sensae, edit your fstab file?

[01:42] Joelito, loooking like hardy isn't too hardy. [01:42] problem solved, xgl incompatability has RERISEN, ati users, don't use xgl it'll bust your card =p [01:43] bloodrock: That pretty much fixed it. The mic loses the audio quickly if close to mouth level, but that could just be the cheapness of the mic. ;) Thanks a lot! [01:43] bazhang what?!?!? [01:43] Hi! Question: i can get 'wacdump /dev/wacom' working fine in a pty console, but in an X terminal it doesn't report anything. What's up with this?

[02:17] should both my cpu loads go to near 100% when i was in xchat-gnome preferences? I've since installed the regular xchat because i like it better, but it's just something i noticed while i was in xchat-gnome [02:17] Virtue: it broke? :P [02:17] painful [02:17] so im trying to get my ath0 located card to show up in the interface list in wireshark. but I dont for the life of me know how to get a listing of the devices names [02:17] sFEARs: you still there? [02:17] Kohlrak, there was a howto to get hotmail working in evolutions and such but MS have modified there protocol and it doesn't work anymore [02:17] mauro, do you have a /boot/grub/menu.lst file [02:17] !nvidia [02:17] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [02:17] ya, Ubuntu is busy, the repo's are busy too, I had to use a mirror [02:18] !raid [02:18] Virtue: some moron.

See, i'm having the same problem with another site, but i figured people'd be more willing to look at a hotmail login page than go to a random site to see if it works for them. I think it's a flash problem but i'm not sure. [02:18] sFEARs: yes, i have this file [02:18] can someone help me install the "kernel source" package? i can't find it in the add/remove list [02:18] zChris, no it didn't... dunno everything collapsed and saw some data.. like DOS. and I wrote something but nothing happened. So I pressed altctrdelete ^^ [02:19] zChris: he wants to install the nvidia drivers. Probably not from the binary package either.. [02:19] what is the command in terminal to get a device's name? [02:19] Kohlrak, ic , but I can't realy help , sorry [02:19] has anybody gotten Doom3 to run in hardy?

[02:20] Virtue: there's an nvidia-settings program that will let you set higher resolutions I think [02:20] !find nvidia [02:20] Found: linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-16-386, linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-16-generic, linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-16-server, nvidia-glx, nvidia-glx-dev (and 15 others) [02:20] windows, how dare you use such language!, why would i need to reinstall windows? [02:20] d [02:21] Theres 2 nvidia config tools not isntalled by default. [02:21] Virtue: I would strongly advise against using the nvidia binary download. It's a pain to install, and it WILL break just about every time you update anything [02:21] nah... mauro needs to boot with force=apic [02:21] sFEARs, it seems to only disappear when windows is involved. Grab a copy of super grub. =p [02:21] <_ZeuZ_> Dr_Willis>> You mean nvidia-xconfig and wich other? [02:21] zcat[1], okay, I'll just try newest package then ^^ [02:21] <_ZeuZ_> sFEARs, or just run update-grub [02:21] is there a channel i go to for help setting up Compiz Fusion [02:21] Virtue: cant you use the System -> Administration -> hardware something? :< [02:21] <_ZeuZ_> TooFl1, #compiz [02:22] thank you [02:22] <_ZeuZ_> No problem [02:22] Virtue: I think nvidia-glx-new or nvidia-???-envy should work got you [02:22] anyone use wireshark?

(with a x in its name) [02:22] i'm unhappy... i just had ext3 filesystem corruption on hardy (64 bit)... known bug there? [02:22] why did ubuntu have to go and add that stupid pulse audio? [02:22] zcat[1], zChris - I have NVIDIA graphics (latest drivers) [02:22] is it wrong ? :] [02:23] does anyone know of a linux project for animated desktops? [02:23] sFEARs: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10847/ [02:23] Virtue: isit activated? [02:23] Nostahl, you mean animated wallpaper ? or general menu and windows animation ? [02:23] <_ZeuZ_> Dr_Willis >> well nvidia-xconfig is command line based [02:23] I had big resolution when just installed Ubuntu. And after driver package it became 1024 (big and ugly) [02:23] Virtue: that's nvidia-glx-new package.. that should be working, there should also be an nvidia-settings program somewhere that lets you change resolution and refresh rate [02:23] @jtravnick: because pulse audio is the future [02:23] Sometimes my gnome-panels freeze... for example, I can't click anymore on the calendar at top, or to shut down my computer.. anyone experiencing this? [02:23] yea it sure is active, fucked up my resolution ^^ [02:24] _ZeuZ_, do an apt-cache search nvidia - [02:24] Virtue: Watch the language please [02:24] Virtue, language plesae [02:24] <_ZeuZ_> what for? to determine the other command?

[02:24] omg sorry ^^ [02:24] Virtue: I can assure you the binary download will only make things worse for you.. [02:24] Nostahl, hold on [02:24] mauro, when you reboot, hit escape a few times at first boot until it brings up the grub boot menu.. from the grub boot menu you can use the force=acip option it told you you needed to use [02:24] !bot | rokabilly (read that page) [02:24] rokabilly (read that page): 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 ;) [02:24] What is !Universe [02:24] zcat[1], okay, I won't try it then... :] [02:24] Virtue: and since it seems you already have it installed you dont need to [02:24] WHOO [02:24] I GOT IT!

Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [02:25] zChris, but where do I find them ? :/ [02:25] Nostahl, not that I know of, but you migth search for "animated wallpaper linux" on google , or maybe ask in #compiz those ppl like candy [02:25] anything starting with ! is a in channel bot command [02:25] and other !Somethings ????

You dont know enough to be trusted with a root password. :) (the zen of sudo!) [02:27] MagoonD: You don't use su. su will not work, use sudo instead. [02:27] how am I supposed to install stuff when I dont know the su password [02:27] I used xinfo to find it's owner, turns out it belongs to firefox [02:27] MagoonD: use sudo command [02:27] MagoonD, use sudo, not 'su' [02:28] !root | MagoonD [02:28] MagoonD: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible.

[02:33] kmee: The mic in my DV9000t works for me, so I am not sure why it wouldn't work for you [02:33] they removed xmss because it is not actively developed [02:33] and the tv is just black. That's using the same xorg.conf [02:34] Carbonflux, it got removed from Debian also. xmms is gotten a bit out and out of date.. and had some other issues. Try some of the other media players, or isntall xmms from source perhaps. [02:34] waitt... [02:34] anyone know how to run doom3 without out of range error? [02:34] Nostahl: try sudo fdisk -l and see if there is NTFS somewhere around there [02:34] It shows up as IntMic [02:34] nobody is answering me so I need to find answers to my problems with ubuntu [02:34] Actually, it appears when I run a flash applet [02:34] dont kick me off! [02:34] Dr_willis, xmms2 is just a bit buggy is all, having some issues with it [02:34] Audacious is pretty much the same a xmms [02:34] rokabilly: what was it again? [02:34] andycr: i tried to use a phone service and it didnt reconize it, what did you use? [02:34] rokabilly, what is your issue, in one line [02:34] ubuntu does not see my dvd drive [02:34] rokabilly: You can /msg ubottu, and talk with it in a query, or join #ubuntu-bots, or search the db in a webpage [02:34] rokabilly: All you are doing is asking the bot things. I havent seen any other questions. [02:34] it may be out of date but it was fine [02:34] rokabilly: you were told not to abuse "ubottu". You did not listen. Hence one admin kicked you. [02:34] I am trying to setup IRC so that when I start it, it automatically connects to irc.freenode.net and /joins #ubuntu. It connects to the server when I add these commands in options-> perform. But instead of joining the channel, it tells me that my name is registered and makes me provide a password before continuing on. It will do this even if I add the /msg nickserv IDENTIFY line to perform. How do I fix this? [02:35] rokabilly, is there a cd /dvd in it ? [02:35] I did not need a new improved and unstable version heh [02:35] HI [02:35] kmee: I just tried it in the spund recording app [02:35] *sound [02:35] i can not write to dvd [02:35] does youtube.com work under Ubuntu X86_64? [02:35] kuahara: Which client? [02:35] rokabilly, is there a cd /dvd in it ? [02:35] a atll? [02:35] rokabilly: do you have a /dev/dvd ? or /dev/dvdrw ? [02:35] I know i liked it to. You might be able to install a previous deb of it [02:35] I'm trying to find a sound recording program that supports PulseAudio natively. Audacity is OSS or ALSA-only and doesn't work with Pulses ALSA emulation and not too well with the padsp. Ardour uses JACK and is really too complicated for my needs. [02:35] *at all? [02:35] it says to enter in a blank dvd [02:35] Roey: it has been for me [02:35] Roey: yes [02:35] i have a dev/cdrom [02:35] cognatus: bull, I don't believe it. [02:35] Carbonflux, i dont find xmms2 a 'suitable' replacement for xmms, xmms2 is trying to do too many other things. and not what people expect it to do. :) [02:35] mIRC v6.17 [02:35] kuahara: right-click the server on the server list, I think the options are in there somewhere (channels, password, etc..) [02:35] depending on how its start xmms2 will eat up 20% cpu time [02:35] I can't undestand why so many things just /don't work/ under gnu/linux. [02:35] when a tutorial says that i should run a given bash-script through .bashrc ... what does that mean? [02:35] Its not an external drive is it? [02:35] and I'm not to blame. I installed Kubuntu, it just doesn't work. [02:35] Dr_willis, well said, my exact feelings also. [02:36] kuahara: You... should ask the mIRC people, mIRC isn't available in ubuntu, we have no idea. [02:36] Carbonflux, it depends on your media playing needs. try some of the other players. [02:36] Roey: like? [02:36] andycr: what are you using, gnash? [02:36] cellofellow, if you want to do high quality stuff, I suggest trying JACK instead of pulse [02:36] zchris mount cant find dev sda2 in etc fstab or etc mtab [02:36] Flannel, I wouldn't be so quick to speak for the whole channel. Someone might know. [02:36] cellofellow, with a rt kernel of course [02:36] I downloaded Opera for Ubuntu 8.04 (which I have). When I try to install it, it shows Error: Wrong architecture i386. Anyone help please ? :] [02:36] Dr_willis, VLC is buggy in Ubuntu, popping and cracking. [02:36] i have /dev/dvd and /dev/dvdrw [02:36] anyone know of a media player that handles subtitles well? [02:36] Nostahl: hmm ? [02:36] andycr: like: my wacom tablet (just doesn't work! dunno what the heck is wrong! Just stopped working when I installed the newer Kubuntu!) [02:36] Roey: did you install the needed plugins and all that? [02:36] kelvin911, are you getting past the sound problem with doom3? [02:36] andycr: like: Flash. [02:36] andycr: like: Youtube.com. [02:36] oh [02:36] kuahara: options > networks > edit .. it's all in there somewhere :) [02:36] Roey: No. It simply installed the 32-bit version of Firefox by default which automatically installed the 32-bit Flash plugin [02:36] zchris sda2 is the ntfs partition [02:36] we all know that mIRC is perfect since its a windows app. :) [02:36] kuahara: mIRC is not ubuntu support, as such, it's offtopic. You may try #ubuntu-offtopic, or somewhere else (I imagine there's an mIRC channel around) [02:36] Roey: You have Wacom and Adobe to thank for that [02:36] there is a blank dvd in the dvd drive and ubuntu does not see it when I try to write [02:36] zchris says it cant mount it cause cant find in fstab [02:37] andycr: like: sound under both KVM guests and hosts under Youtube.com (for the guest) === toresn_ is now known as n00bie [02:37] andycr: yup! [02:37] when a tutorial says that i should run a given bash-script through .bashrc ... what does that mean? [02:37] akai, they all do they just need a file with the same name as the video file and the subtitle extension , in the same folder as the video [02:37] andycr: but it doesnt' get my any closer to getting something that works. [02:37] Flannel, remind me to give a shit about off topic sometime tomorrow, thx [02:37] :( [02:37] Nostahl: make direcory in /media, and try to sudo mount /dev/sda2 /media/direcotry [02:37] I downloaded Opera for Ubuntu 8.04 (which I have). When I try to install it, it shows Error: Wrong architecture i386. Anyone help please ? :] [02:37] Seven_Six_Two: well, I'm not too worried about quality because what I'm doing is just podcast stuff, and it gets distributed as 32kbps MP3 so who'd know if I was using a regular kernel and Pulse? [02:37] Dr_willis, can't seem to find a fix other then blaming the Audigy board, which I removed for other reason, the media play sector seems broken all over the industry right now heh [02:37] I just wish to point out that there are '100% Free ports' of Xchat for windows. [02:37] Does anyone know now to get firefox to start xchat for irc links? [02:37] andycr: weird, i tried it in my sound recording app and i tried all the options, it still doesnt record...... [02:37] andycr: so gnash doesn't work with youtube.com then? [02:37] andycr: and yet the #gnash folks say it works-for-them [02:37] sFEARs: the ndiswrapper still didn't work, i can't use my wireless [02:37] Roey: I don't know. I just use the Adobe flash plugin [02:37] ok [02:37] !guidelines > kuahara (Please see the private messsage from ubottu) [02:37] !find opera [02:37] Found: opera [02:37] Hmmmm.. I'm running 64 bit here.. default firefox, default 'flashplugin-nonfree' .. everything works, I have no idea what versions/libraries/wrappers/bitwidth everything is [02:37] doesn't work here. [02:37] mikeasdf: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Register_protocol [02:37] ubuntu 8.04 is for computers newer than i386 [02:37] andycr: you use x86_64? [02:37] Virtue: why not opera in the repo? [02:38] andycr: oh, and I'm using konqueror [02:38] Carbonflux, Hmm. My Audigy, and Audigy 2zs work great under ubuntu. [02:38] Roey: I used to, don't anymore [02:38] anyway, I am using xmms2 and hoping it will improve. [02:38] cellofellow, it depends on your computer and what you want to do. Jack will allow for low latency, and a lot more options when it comes to audio software. [02:38] andycr: because of youtube.com, right? [02:38] Dr_willis, nonsense [02:38] andycr: because you want to see Flash, right? [02:38] Thanks kbrosnan [02:38] Roey: No, unrelated issue [02:38] rokabilly: i386 is an architecture, and modern computers still use that [02:38] andycr: ah [02:38] Carbonflux, i couldent even get xmms2 to do much of anything.. :) [02:38] rokabilly: Hardy should work fine on a 386. [02:38] when a tutorial says that i should run a given bash-script through .bashrc ... what does that mean? [02:38] Roey: Ah, on konqueror the binary is 64-bit so no, it wouldn't work there [02:38] cellofellow, the ability to edit/modify audio on the fly is handy [02:38] Carbonflux, My sound cards have outlasted like 5+ machines/upgrades. heh. [02:38] n00bie: It means to put it in your ~/.bashrc file [02:38] fala [02:38] n00bie: its a file in your home directory [02:38] Roey: You'll need either a 32-bit version of konqueror or a 64-bit version of flash, and the latter doesn't exist [02:38] Pici: damn you! :) [02:38] Modern computers use a newer architecture [02:38] Seven_Six_Two: truly I just want Audacity with Pulse support. [02:39] Dr_willis, the Audigy boards are broken in Linux, I am glad you are having a good experience tho :) [02:39] not i386 [02:39] juliu-saraiva_, italian? [02:39] zChris, what's repo ? :] [02:39] sometimes I feel some people only have problems with ubuntu because they expect everything to be hard and try to do everything by hand instead of 'just tick a box' and let synaptic deal with it. [02:39] n00bie the .directory means it is a hidden directory and you'll need to set it to be able to see those. [02:39] Who can help me with my dvd drive? [02:39] Dr_willis, mine was fine of a long long time too [02:39] Seven_Six_Two: I can't figure out complicated media-making programs like Ardour or Cinellera. [02:39] can somebody give me a hand, i need to recompile the kernel to add a driver into it [02:39] Virtue: i cant explain it well but try apt-get install opera :P [02:39] Dr_willis, they are good board [02:39] tried [02:39] pleease [02:39] does ubuntu have a way to shrink the partition [02:39] nothing [02:39] andycr: ah. [02:39] Package opera is not available, but is referred to by another package. [02:39] This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or [02:39] is only available from another source [02:39] E: Package opera has no installation candidate [02:39] cognatus: cant you just build the driver as a module ? [02:39] Virtue: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:39] Hi. Can anyone tell me where to find info on what is new in 8.04 compared to 7.10, please? I am wondering whether to upgrade [02:39] andycr: god, gnu/linux just doesn't work. [02:39] Carbonflux, Weirdnes. Sounds like it may be a pulse audio issue if it just happened. [02:39] zcat[1]: I don't think anyone asked for the Broadcom driver to not work [02:39] andycr: i'm venting, btw. [02:39] I'm having issues with alsa and 8.04, does anyone have any ideas why it wouldn [02:39] Virtue: google opera ubuntu :)) [02:40] zchris your awesome [02:40] hi ubutuers [02:40] Roey: Flash isn't part of Linux, you might want to remember. [02:40] 't be detecting my sound card: [02:40] worked [02:40] cellofellow, I was just going to say, I use ardour. It is a lot harder to use than ardour [02:40] * warning: 'alsactl restore' failed with error message 'alsactl: load_state:1327: No soundcards found...'... [ OK ] [02:40] izprince: yeah, that's one that really IS hard ... [02:40] Nostahl: :) [02:40] okay ^^ [02:40] anyone use wireshark? [02:40] andycr: (I've been wrestling this aligator since '97, Debian specifically, and I've given up the part of my brain that keeps me sane as a consequence) [02:40] andycr: aye. [02:40] Seven_Six_Two: you mean than Audacity. [02:40] Dr_willis, mostly its related to VLC, I removed mine because it was just too old and causing problems [02:40] maybe zChris but i don't know how... the readme says I need the "linux kernel" package and then various #make cmds [02:40] i have NO streaming Video, or audio, the vid starts but freezes, the audio never starts [02:40] akai: I sometimes use it [02:40] ndiswrapper loaded but i can't use my wireless card. any ideas? [02:40] do you know how to enter in the interface when its not listed? [02:40] cognatus: may i ask what you are trying to do ? [02:40] jtravnick: my doom3 has no problem with sound [02:41] Carbonflux, i did have an audigy card go bad on one box ages ago. it would crash linux/windows/even beos. :( it was like 5+ yrs old. [02:41] Dr_willis, I think my geforce board was melting it frankly ;) [02:41] can anyone tell me how to get streaming video working on ubuntu? [02:41] in fact i can goto where i need cdkey [02:41] hi i just upgraded to hardy and i get greeter application appears to be crashing. atempting to use another one when i boot up. does anyone know how to fix? [02:41] akai - have you tried opening a terminal and typing 'wireshark' ? [02:41] install drivers for a PCI RAID card, i.e. the VIA 6421 chip [02:41] akai: you might need to start is as "gksudo wireshark" in a terminal to use certain interfaces [02:41] the thing to remember about Broadcom is that if you get the driver you work, you'll have done so many things in the process, you'll never remember it for next time [02:41] People with flash issues: If you installed the free version first you have to remove that then re-add the nonfree [02:41] please help me how can i make a scape string in command line, example i use this line [02:41] bzr push ftp://"guaranda@niel3d.com"@www.niel3d.com/ [02:41] but after upgrading to hardy i can not start doom3, the moniter shows out of range [02:41] but the program try to connect to niel3d.com"@www.niel3d.com and not to www.niel3d.com like its correct [02:41] please help me. [02:41] seyacat: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:41] cellofellow, I like being able to insert sound effects while I'm recording, and modifying my voice live. no I mean ardour [02:41] ooohhh [02:41] can anyone tell me how to get streaming video working on ubuntu? [02:42] oh [02:42] jtravnick: maybe i need to reinstall doom3?? [02:42] lolz let me try [02:42] Dr_willis, my only Real issue with xmms2 is cpu usage, for some reason I can't figure out sometimes it starts using 20% cpu time. [02:42] cellofellow, sorry. yes I mean it's easier than audacity [02:42] kelvin911, whitch install file did you use? [02:42] tmapj - have you installed ubuntu-restricted-extras ? [02:42] cognatus: xbox flashing ? ;) [02:42] wait [02:42] seyacat: bzr push "ftp://guaranda@niel3d.com" [02:42] emma is that in synaptic? [02:42] Carbonflux, xmms2 is like a media 'server' thing. so its overkill for a single person system I think. [02:42] can anyone help me with a canon i560 printer, pleasE?????? [02:42] nice, got it fixed [02:42] hi. I'm running off 8.04 LIVE CD. Trying to tar my old Ubuntu install. I mounted my ubuntu installation, but hwen I run "tar -cvzf" and use exclude.. to exclude dev, etc.... off the mounted install, it starts adding everything, including my external, and everything on the LIVE CD.... on that archive.. not what i wanted. any ideas how to isolate it? [02:42] jtravnick: doom3-linux-1.3.1.1304.x86.run [02:42] is there a way that I can copy my wireless key from myt windows install to my ubuntu install? I've tried manual entry, but it fails on it, tried all that I can [02:42] Dr_willis, agreed [02:42] anyone know how to fix a greeter application error [02:42] rofl that worked [02:42] thanks fellas [02:42] cellofellow, err. harder than audacity. Once it's set up though, it's a blast. UbuntuStudio does a bunch of the heavy lifting for you [02:42] tmapj - yes I'm sure it is. But you may have to include other repositories than you currently have listed. [02:43] also I have decided ubuntu upgrades are just broken. Every machine I've upgraded has taken three hours and run like crap afterwards .. I'm following the webpage to the letter, but I still end up just reinstalling so it runs like it should. [02:43] Starnestommy: the problem is the user is guaranda@niel3d.com, and no get other [02:43] hi is this the right channel to find help with an 8.04 isntall bug that causes extreme dataloss? [02:43] Hey, I'm trying to check a disk but fsck says that it can't read the superblock, so I should try "e2fsck -b 8193 "; when I do that, e2fsck says that the disk is being used -- but it's not mounted or anything. [02:43] although Sysinfo does detect the HDs plugged into it w;o installing any drivers, so I *may* just need to turn on the RAID that's previously-set-up on the drives [02:43] RAID 0 [02:43] samstern: yes [02:43] tmapj, ubuntu-restricted-extras are in the component multiverse. [02:43] Dr_willis, I don't want to do about it though, VLC is really broken. [02:43] samstern: file a bug on launchpad. [02:43] hey guys, what good does MaxAuth do ? [02:43] kelvin911, not sure I could never get the newest one to wirk have always used 1.1.1286 but now im having problems starting it [02:43] in sshd config?> [02:43] where is launchpad? [02:43] can anyone help me with a canon i560 printer, pleasE?????? [02:43] Carbonflux, i dont use vlc much any more. I perfer gmplayer. [02:43] Cinons are kep in what directory [02:43] zcat[1]: I prefer to do the "manual method" from the console. [02:43] emma ok thanks alot [02:43] Icons are kept in what directory [02:43] gah... i can't get my resolution above 1024x768 :( [02:44] cognatus: do a lsmod and see if there is a module loaded that resembles VIA 6421 [02:44] tmapj, were you able to find it? [02:44] !launchpad | samstern [02:44] samstern: Launchpad is a collection of development services for Open Source projects. It's Ubuntu's bug tracker, and much more; see https://launchpad.net/ [02:44] jtravnick: do u know how to config the screen resolution without running doom3? [02:44] Yo does anyone know how to strip out everything but vocals in a music file? [02:44] !bugs | samstern [02:44] samstern: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug report at: http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu - Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [02:44] emma one sec i have to go look [02:44] Dr_willis, you use mplayer to play streams over the net ? [02:44] jtravnick: how to uninstall doom3? [02:44] scorp123: I've done both. Usually from terminal.. four upgrades so far, and I'm about to clean install my laptop because it too is running a lot slower than it should be. [02:44] I have two sound cards working... but I cant set the 2nd as default anymore... In my last ubuntu install it works perfectly... why not now? [02:44] okies thanks ttfn [02:44] Carbonflux, it can do that - i used it on some shoutcast video and tv streams befor [02:44] !ot | zcat[1] [02:44] zcat[1]: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [02:44] tmapj - Okay, if you dont' find it with a search than go to administration>software sources, and include the multiverse repository. [02:45] kelvin911, no never had to worry about it before it always worked for me [02:45] I've got one machine left to go, I'm not even going to bother trying an upgrade. [02:45] zChris: "sata_via"... hm... okay i'll try to just enable the RAID and see if it works [02:45] What folder are all your Icons kept in [02:45] Dr_willis, playlists of shoutcast or acc streams is my main use [02:45] cognatus: gl [02:45] stoneDJay: 8.04 uses pulseaudio, and it does not honor asoundrcs. It opens hw:X directly. [02:45] where did you say it was now emma? [02:45] stoneDJay: (which bypasses asoundrcs) [02:45] Dr_willis, so far I have only found support for acc in VLC [02:45] i've got a laptop with an external 19" monitor attached... it detects the monitor and lets me clone the display (though I really just want to use the monitor as my only display) but it won't let me set the resolution to 1280x1024 [02:45] any suggestions? [02:45] ... how would i go about enabling it? i can't format the disks [02:45] belor1: i think its in /usr/share/pixmaps/ [02:45] belor1: /usr/share/icons [02:45] jtravnick: how to reinstall doom3, do i just run that doom3-linux-1.3.1.1304.x86.run file again? [02:45] zChris: :) haha thanks [02:46] crimsun: but Im telling about two 8.04 installs [02:46] jtravnick: have u try running doom3 with wine? [02:46] I'm trying to set up a second machine with the same additional packages I installed on the first. [02:46] kelvin911: Doom 3 is native [02:46] emma: where did yo say it was now? [02:46] andycr: i cant get mine to work [02:46] zcat[1]: there is an alternative ...... e.g. save your package selection via "dselect", do a fresh install, and then have apt-get reinstall that package selection again. Should give about a similar result as an upgrade, minus the slow disks. I did that once too. A bit complicated but it works. [02:46] andycr: getting black screen [02:46] stoneDJay: regardless, if you use PA, that's the case. [02:46] hi all [02:46] andycr: and moniter showing out of range error [02:46] tmapj -- try opening a terminal and typing this: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [02:46] kelvin911: Not sure then, sorry. I only tried the demo, but it works for me [02:46] kelvin911, never use wine if i cant run it in linux i dont run it [02:47] scorp123: yeah, btw andycr wants to know that command for getting a list of installed packages :) [02:47] emma, i dont see restricted anything in sources [02:47] what is the path to /sda1, /sdb etc? [02:47] emma: whats in restricted extras? [02:47] cognatus: /dev [02:47] andycr: hold on .... Searching for URL [02:47] I have been here for a long time. Nobody can help with getting a dvd to work in ubuntu [02:47] Zchris it is a package that contains a lot of codecs and other things that are often wanted by people who want to use multi-media [02:47] i've got a laptop with an external 19" monitor attached... it detects the monitor and lets me clone the display (though I really just want to use the monitor as my only display) but it won't let me set the resolution to 1280x1024... any suggestions?

Was using some streaming front end to launch the player. This is a clean install now. So i dont have them setup yet [02:48] dvd drive is not seen in ubuntu [02:48] rokabilly: have you tried playing it using VNC?

[02:48] nevernmind [02:48] rokabilly: dvd drives are just plain old IDE usually, it should 'just work' [02:48] rokabilly: is it ide, sata, scsi, or ide? [02:48] andycr: i keep getting 81.6kHz / 60Hz out of range in my moniter [02:48] kelvin911, im sure this isnt the right way to do it but i have always just gone to /usr/local/games and just deleted the doom3 folder than have to go into your home and delete the hidden doom3 folder [02:48] blank dvd is not seen in writing to dvd [02:48] er, or usb? [02:48] ide dvd drive [02:48] i will say one thing bad luck wise about my upgrade. i wish i hadnt selected the restricted video driver it offered, MAJOR trouble [02:48] rokabilly: what brand is it? [02:48] Starnestommy: they show up as files? not directories? [02:48] kelvin911: You may try running it windowed [02:49] cognatus: they're special files called device nodes [02:49] rokabilly: first question; are you able to test the drive in any other OS and confirm it's not a hardware problem? [02:49] How can I find out what brand it is? Does that make a difference? [02:49] emma, ok, what now? [02:49] andycr: how? [02:49] Carbonflux, amarok is playing shoutcast streams here also. :) [02:49] Dr_willis, going to try audacious I guess, thanks for your time tho, nice to compare notes [02:49] andycr: running doom3 in window mode? [02:49] It works in other Linux right out the box [02:49] is there a gui-based mount app? [02:49] kelvin911: doom3 r_fullscreen 0 [02:49] rokabilly: cool.. had to ask :) [02:49] It does not work in Ubuntu [02:49] cognatus: what does sudo fdisk -l say ? [02:49] rokabilly: second question; what's the model, etc.. [02:49] ubuntu is not good Linux? [02:49] I think Hardy may have problems with IDE, but I'm not sure [02:50] andycr: still here? [02:50] andycr: dont work [02:50] cognatus, dependign on your needs. There used to be dozens of mounting-gui tools [02:50] andycr: keep getting error [02:50] Starnestommy: i use ide for hdd and dvd works for me out of the box :) [02:50] Who is Hardy? [02:50] rokabilly: its the name on this release [02:50] !hardy | rokabilly [02:50] emma pls stay here ill brb [02:50] question where are my cupsys configuration ??? [02:50] rokabilly: Hardy Heron is the codename for the current release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS) You can get it now from http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu but please use !torrents [02:50] kelvin911: Sorry then, don't know [02:50] emma pls stay here ill brb [02:50] scorp123: Yes [02:50] the 8.04 release? [02:50] emma pls stay here ill brb [02:50] Dr_willis: I need to mount 2 HDs that are set up in RAID 0 [02:50] andycr: Take a look at this URL: http://linuxmint.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3969 [02:50] pilini: /etc/ ? [02:50] scorp123: Thanks [02:50] Hardy is a wrestler in WWE [02:50] emma pls stay here ill brb [02:50] Hardy can not see ide dvd drives? [02:50] andycr: specifically the parts about "Package selections". [02:50] SeaPhor -- Im not sure what your original question was. I was recommending that tmapj install the ubuntu-restricted-extras because he wants to use streaming video aps. There is at least a possibility that this will allow that. [02:50] any ideas on forcing my LCD monitor to use 1280x1024? [02:51] What about the earlier release, 7? [02:51] tmapj, I'll be here. [02:51] stoneDJay: did you explicitly disable esd or PA? If not, you're using PA. [02:51] can that see ide dvd drives? [02:51] emma, we have same issue [02:51] andycr: I'm getting this exact issue with Wacom:http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=4810FC58.5030108%40gmx.com&forum_name=linuxwacom-discuss [02:51] I'm not entirely sure, but I've heard of some people having IDE problems in 8.04 and others didn't have those problems [02:51] rokabilly: what happens if you use eject ? [02:51] zcat> how to find the model? [02:51] SeaPhor, okay. You installed ubuntu-restricted-extras? [02:52] Dr_willis: well, just about any of them will do i think [02:52] yes, by the cmd that you posted [02:52] SeaPhor - Then I guess try to use the multi-media application. I'm not sure if it says you may need to restart your computer or not. [02:52] chris> I can put in dvd, take dvd out, but ubuntu does not see it when I try to write dvd [02:52] hi all [02:52] it says enter blank dvd [02:52] Dr_willis: the installer's gui mounter picked up the partitions [02:52] rokabilly: sudo lshw I think should show it.. or there's some hardware tool in the menuss [02:52] Roey: It's definitely a rights issue, but I have no idea how you would solve it beyond using gksudo gimp all the time. [02:52] how install software same as apt-get (debian) yum (redhat) [02:52] jak2000: ubuntu uses apt-get [02:52] I did not find hardware tool to configure it in menu. what is it called? [02:52] rokabilly: you know hardy can take ages to actually detect a disk.. line 30 seconds or more [02:53] cognatus, no idea on mountng raid disks. It may be best if you learned how to mount them from the command line. [02:53] jak2000: apt-get [02:53] *like [02:53] ok [02:53] ok thanks [02:53] andycr: ok [02:53] okay i'm willing to do that [02:53] cognatus: google linux raid [02:53] andycr: thanks though [02:53] crimsun: no... I didnt disable anything, but jack show me using alsa, system volume control shows HDA Intel (alsa mixer)... Its so hard to figure out because Im not a linux audio geek... [02:53] for install java? apt-get install j2ee ? [02:53] i've got a laptop with an external 19" monitor attached... it detects the monitor and lets me clone the display (though I really just want to use the monitor as my only display) but it won't let me set the resolution to 1280x1024... any suggestions? [02:53] the raid card's readme only gives instructions on how to compile the driver though, not on how to mount [02:53] !java [02:53] To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository (in !Backports for !Edgy) [02:54] TXDave: ati or nvidia? [02:54] ATI [02:54] how do i switch firefox to use adobe's flashplayer after i've installed swfdec? [02:54] i have the restricted driver installed just fine [02:54] emma, ok,,, 1 thing is playing, (with low sound) but working, let me check another.. [02:54] rokabilly: something I'd like to mention ... Not all blank DVD disks work in all DVD drives. Could be that due to the colors of the layers, the make, and whatever other factors a blank DVD will not properly reflect the laser light in certain DVD drives and therefore will not be recognized. My Samsung DVD+/-RW drive for example doesn't like certain "Imation" disks .... [02:55] TXDave: hmm cant help ya there [02:55] emma: ok what should i type in terminal now? [02:55] I tried the "lshw" and it does see it [02:55] it is a pioneer dvd, at /dev/cdrom [02:55] tmapj - if you haven't already try: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [02:55] its frustrating... all the other stuff works.. compiz, advanced graphics... just can't change the bloody resolution [02:55] how do I get the dvd writer software to see it then if that is the problem? [02:56] Okay, this is infuriating... I don't want Firefox 3 (it's beta and incredibly unstable), but when using Hardy, I can't install the MPlayer plugin for FF2 because it depends on FF3... what gives? [02:56] rokabilly: try a different disk from a different brand :-/ [02:56] I wrote with these dvds on other Linux just fine. [02:56] SeaPhor, well that's a little progress then. :) [02:56] it is not the disk [02:56] emma it says, "ubuntu-restricted-extras is already the newest version." [02:56] ive had issues with the latest ubuntu seeing my dvd burner. It will burn one disk.. then lose the drive. :( [02:56] rokabilly: try another program [02:56] stoneDJay: what's the output from `pgrep -c -x pulseaudio'? === cognatus_ is now known as cognatus [02:56] it is the software [02:56] tmapj - okay then you have it installed. [02:56] still watcing the forums for other with a similer issue. [02:57] emma: but the streaming video still doesnt work [02:57] brb [02:57] crimsun: 1 [02:57] Okay what streaming video specifically are you trying to view? [02:57] emma, nice,,, all good now Thank you! :-)) [02:57] hi [02:57] SeaPhor, music to my ears. Thank you! [02:57] <^Tech-Help^> McRib what i had to do is completely remove firefox 2 and 3, delete the .mozilla folder and firefox folder, reinstalled firefox 2 .. then my plugins started working. [02:57] nice article: http://itmanagement.earthweb.com/osrc/article.php/3745266 [02:57] I write sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture opera_9.27-20080331.6-shared-qt_en_i386.deb in -desktop (where the file is located) and it says "cannot access archive: no such file or directory"... what have I done wrong ? [02:57] shit. [02:57] PriceChild ^ [02:58] what's the package number to install java????????? [02:58] query mauro [02:58] dr_willis are you dropped? [02:58] !java [02:58] To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository (in !Backports for !Edgy) [02:58] ^Tech-Help^: No, I know that's what I had to do to get my plugins working for FF2... the problem is, I need the mozilla-mplayer plugin to view streaming videos... but that package depends on FF3... [02:58] is it possible (or safe or even wise) to upgrade to the newest Gnome in 7.10? [02:58] thanks [02:58] !netbeans [02:58] Factoid netbeans not found [02:58] emma?

[02:58] I write sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture opera_9.27-20080331.6-shared-qt_en_i386.deb in -desktop (where the file is located) and it says "cannot access archive: no such file or directory"... what have I done wrong ?

[03:00] ^Tech-Help^: There's no way to fix this? It's got to be a bug...

[03:00] ^Tech-Help^: Or just an extremely stupid decision. I even searched to see if there was a separate package now for mozill-mplayer for FF2... there isn't. [03:00] cleric: have you tried the alt install? [03:00] cleric: do you have windoows? if you do you can try Wubi [03:00] seaphor yes i did [03:00] hi is it possible to do a screenshot and also capture the video i am playing on mplayer?? [03:00] thanks! problem solved after installing some packages [03:00] zChris: it's a clean server [03:01] <^Tech-Help^> no im sure its quite common McRib [03:01] cleric: well try what the others proposed [03:01] stoneDJay: right, so it is active. [03:01] ive got a movie in xvid form, its a directory with a bunch of archive files...how can I play it? [03:01] cleric: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation [03:01] tmapj, does the link i gave work for you, it does for me now [03:01] CorbinFox: it's installing over wifi [03:01] cleric: that page has a bunch of ways to do it without CD, from an existing install, etc. [03:01] what link' [03:01] thanks to everyone who helped [03:01] I have another question, this may not be the best room for it, but is there a whole set of gnome things to make gnome look like OSX? [03:01] you gave me a command [03:01] cleric you can setup a livecd on a flash stick if you have a flash stick at least 1gb [03:01] Roey: Good luck [03:02] ah [03:02] crimsun: so... I really need to know how this stuff works... :/ wiki/pulseaudio.... thanks by the light [03:02] tmapj, or this,, http://www.milkandcookies.com/link/45466/detail/ [03:02] yes there are a few applications you can run that make your desktop look like mac osx [03:02] gcarrillo: do they end in .rXX ? [03:02] Fritzel: do you just burn the livecd to the flash or more complicated? [03:02] check out global menu bar [03:02] for osx look to your desktop [03:02] is it possible (or safe or maybe at least unpunishable by the gods of linux) to upgrade to the newest Gnome in 7.10? [03:02] Greg: making a package that makes gnome look exactly like osx would be potentially illegal (copyright over GUI element images) [03:02] part of the issue is i'm running into a bit of a time crunch ... worse comes to worse i'll have to wait for replacement drive [03:02] ok... will do... [03:02] zChris: yes they do [03:02] grr...shoulda stayd with Daryna [03:02] cleric it's a bit more involved but pendrivelinux.com has step by step instructions [03:03] gcarrillo: unrar e whatever_file [03:03] apple already complained about WindowBlinds skins that clone Mac [03:03] zChris: ok ill try that [03:03] Fritzel: is that current to hoary?

[03:57] orangepeelbeef: thanks, i will give it a try [03:57] DanaG: Does dmesg say a USB device got removed? [03:57] tinytimmytoes> this is not the same thing [03:57] tinytimmytoes: pretty much the same i would say [03:57] pete: about the wubi, will it look like 'xp' on a mac? whereby the machine will run on mac and xp runs like a program instead of operating system? [03:57] damn so nice for eyes after all white ^^ [03:57] It's mini-PCIe, actually. [03:57] cr4: did your machine just come out of hibernation or suspend? [03:57] ah X as foo, no Xorg [03:57] But it'll say ACPI interrupt disabled. [03:57] Amaranth- i remember i asked how i could have ubuntu not show the disk image for my windows partition on my desktop and someone gave me a terminal command that opened up a menu... [03:57] I have tryed to write acpi=force at the end but the problem still happenning [03:57] tinytimmytoes: you mean xfce? [03:57] i did not get it... [03:57] yeah [03:57] Mikey: Sounds like it to me. So you can use a partion tool to resize the XP "C" drive to a smaller size. If you do nothing with the partition - when you install Ubuntu - you can tell it to use "Unused space on drive" and will setup the other partition automatically. [03:57] tinytimmytoes: X is the thing GNOME is built on [03:58] evilbug: gconf-editor? [03:58] oic [03:58] Amaranth- YES! [03:58] less userfriendly? [03:58] Amaranth: I have tryed to write acpi=force at the end but the problem still happenning [03:58] Amaranth- thanks,i'll write it down this time. [03:58] its for a friend.. [03:58] moohead, no it happens since I done the last update [03:58] i'm a big fan of gnome [03:58] mauro: Then I guess you can't fix it. Sorry. [03:58] tinytimmytoes: the X in Xubuntu stands for xfce , its another WM . Google it and youll see how it looks [03:58] ty [03:58] tinytimmytoes: x is the thing that all window managers use underneath... xfce is a lighter windowmanager.. different from gnome. You really just have to try it. [03:58] Hello - I probably should just be patient but I'm using GParted to non-destructively repartition my drive. There's no status bar that tells me how long this will take - is there any way to find out exactly how long it will take? (I don't want to lose my data but there's nothing absolutely -crucial- on the drive I'm repartitioning) [03:58] Totem opens up mp3 files, but it just stays at 0 seconds and doesn't play. Anyone else have this issue too ? [03:59] tmapj, what happens when you click on it directly here -- http://www.tvsplanet.com/america-internet-tv/america-movies-televisions/mystery-free-tv-movies-channel-usa/ [03:59] Amaranth: Ok. But this message is related with the sound problem? [03:59] * zcat[1] is not good at describing the difference in windowmanagers [03:59] Mikey: gotta run - but ask questions and someone else might be able to pickup where I left off. cya [03:59] pete: partion tool? do i have to download a certain program? [03:59] oh ok [03:59] BrianBoyko: Expect something like 4-5 hours, gparted is _slow_ because it is very overprotective [03:59] cr4: Ah. Experiment with the sound controls for a while - that might give you some idea what's going on [03:59] thanks [03:59] what is Amarok? [03:59] mikey: did you check out that link [04:00] sevillian: audio player [04:00] sunx: wubi? downloading it now [04:00] mikey: the partition tool is included with the installion disk [04:00] sevillian, its an awesome audio player, the best out there for all platforms [04:00] does anyone know the proper way to switch to using emerald as the window decorator ? [04:00] orangepeelbeef: how i can install that [04:00] mikey" http://howtoforge.com/dual_boot_windows_xp_vista_ubuntu_feisty [04:00] sudo apt-get install amarok [04:00] moohead, but I think it has a problems because since the update, I can't open xmms and I can't install with synaptic and aptget [04:00] anyone know why a wifi card isn't detected/enabled? [04:00] Carbonflux, try emerald --replace [04:00] Amaranth: Thank you! [04:00] Carbonflux: You can't do it automatically anymore, there is a bug [04:00] is there a bug with totem playing files? [04:00] Carbonflux: alt-F2 and type 'emerald --replace' [04:00] I was worried. [04:00] anyone know anything about aircrack-ng and has a minute? [04:00] also, flash audio seems to not work sometimes. [04:00] Carbonflux: compizconfig settings manager > Window Decoration > Command: emerald [04:00] virtualbox not running on hardy, any fix? [04:00] moohead, could you connect to my machine with remote desk ? [04:00] crdlb: Doesn't work [04:00] allfiend: hehe pretty hard to just know it :) [04:00] something about kernel [04:01] crdlb, does that work? [04:01] Amaranth: Ok. But the error about acpi=force is related with the sound problem? Are they different problems? [04:01] mikey:goto the bottom part since you already have windows installed [04:01] Amaranth, so I have to put in in the sessions ? [04:01] can I msg you zChris?

[04:01] mikey:it will tell you how to resize your xp drive then put ubuntu on your c drive [04:01] thanks zcat[1] usser :) [04:01] allfiend: sure , but icant guarantee anything :) [04:01] phiqtion, do u have virtualbox-ose-modules-generic installed? [04:01] crdlb: It used to be the plugin would ignore the option if it was the default, the change accidentally made it always use the default. No one noticed this until after the 8.04 release [04:01] cr4: I'm no expert... I have no idea how to do that, and I'd probably do something horrible with your machine [04:01] usser: no, should i install [04:01] crdlb: The fedora guys found the bug [04:02] moohead, lol so I don't like it hahah [04:02] phiqtion, yes thats the kernel module it complains about [04:02] TIGERS WIN!!!!!

[04:03] I was curious as to why there is no XMMS available for 8.04 other than XMMS2 [04:03] moohead: and ubuntu-wifi :) [04:03] sorteal: The xmms project has been dead for years [04:03] sorteal: i guess its becouse xmms has been replaced by xmms2 [04:03] would anyone be able to help me install my video card drivers please.\ [04:03] im having a problem... my my hardy has crashes a couple of times for no reason... what could it be???

I then have to back up my xorg.conf, reinstall my video driver, then restore my xorg.conf. This fixes the issue, and I have no idea what causes it. I'm using the nVidia 169.21 drivers [04:34] Starnestommy http://paste.ubuntu.com/10865/ [04:34] zChris: i believe it is partition/virtual drive cuz theres only one physical drive according to the hardware manager [04:34] can anyone hellp me with air crack installation? [04:34] Some_Person: i was wondering the same thing... they are being rsync'd now though (see mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/ ... ) [04:34] lemsxl: yeah, i guess video ram would be more important [04:34] i'm having video issues and i had a thought.could it be caused by my monitor's refresh rate? [04:35] soulreape1, stop repeating yourself [04:35] can anyone advice some good filemanager ? [04:35] srry [04:35] ubuntu dropped the prefs dialog? [04:35] soulreape1 press up to repeat what you just said [04:35] Mikey: yeah you can delete it [04:35] lemsx1: i've been using New Zealand servers all day, seem to be working [04:35] kassah-lappy: what prefs dialog? [04:35] evilbug:what is it set to? [04:35] There used to be something for specifying which dirs are shared and enabling it [04:35] lemsx1: a bit slow, simply because I'm in Texas, but working [04:35] Some_Person: in my case only the hardy-updates stuff is messed up [04:36] who here thinks Linux+ is a good cert to get? [04:36] zChris: IDE [04:36] j1solutions: i'm against cert ;-) [04:36] thiebaude- it's a CRT set at 50hz.the only issue is when i play video.if i'm not mistaken,it's set to 60hz in windows. [04:36] Ochatach: which partition is windows on? [04:36] lemsx1: for me, i could get nothing to download from the US servers [04:36] Mikey: :) [04:36] j1solutions, experience is much better cert ;) [04:36] thiebaude- but it won't give me a 60hz option in Screens and Resolutions. [04:36] evilbug:that is very low [04:36] techno_freak: agree [04:36] agreed techno_freak [04:36] but it helps to get hired [04:36] Starnestommy um.. first sda1.. [04:37] Ochatach: also, did you install ubuntu to the main hard disk or another one? [04:37] the other one [04:37] j1solutions: being able to interview correctly is also a big plus... no need to worry if you really know your stuff [04:37] evilbug:is your graphics card listed in screens and graphics? [04:37] j1solutions, if you can be confident in saying i know how to do it, they will hire you [04:37] Ochatach: that explains why ubuntu isn't booting [04:37] yes [04:37] thiebaude- yes. [04:37] can some one help me out??/ I have a 24" aluminum iMac and I can not get the sound to work even following the different howto's [04:37] but what if i don't know how to do it : ) [04:37] i tried to change boot sequence but it didn't work out [04:37] Ochatach: you'll need to set up the windows bootloader to load grub [04:37] j1solutions, do it and learn :P [04:37] zChris: is IDE a good thing? lol btw i still remember installing two windows, xp and me, and when i formatted the drive containing me, the bootscreen would still ask me to pick which os to execute, xp or me... that puzzled me [04:37] Uinluan: that's on Hardy ? [04:37] Ochatach: is it windows XP or Vista? [04:37] good point, techno [04:37] Starnestommy: or he could overwrite the windows boot loader with grub :) [04:37] yes [04:38] Starnestommy XP sp3 [04:38] evilbug:and it only gives you one setting? [04:38] ok i found a good tutorial on gettin VB on Hardy: http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=242936t [04:38] Uinluan: System->Administration->Hardware Testing ?? [04:38] fake it till you make it [04:38] Ochatach: you might need to use zChris's approach to that [04:38] can anyone recommend a great flashcard program [04:38] Mikey: :) its not a good or bad thing :) [04:38] lemsx1: how long have you been using ubuntu? [04:38] and i don't know how to [04:38] thiebaude- yup.i mean everything works fine except for video playback.the resolution is at it's max. [04:38] Devis: VB as in Visual Basic ?? [04:38] emma you still there? [04:38] j1solutions, certs can only tell you how it should be done and assume you learnt it, but only doing it can make you really learn (as well as how not to do it) [04:38] thiebaude- and my suspect is the refresh rate. [04:38] Some_Person: forever ;-) [04:38] Devis, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [04:38] virtualbox [04:39] agreed techno. are you a linux professional? [04:39] guys, how do I install a .deb file? I got opera binary as .deb... im guessing thats ok for ubuntu? [04:39] zChris: I think I found my problem [04:39] ok I did that [04:39] lemsx1: since warty you mean? [04:39] Starnestommy i dont know how to even do that [04:39] evilbug:yea,its low, mine is set to 85 [04:39] sensae: what was it ? [04:39] Newb: sudo dpkg -i filename.deb [04:39] Newb, sudo dpkg -i debifle.de [04:39] Ochatach: neither do I [04:39] zChris, do you know any mp3 player? cause I don't see winamp in packages... Would appreciate your help much, as always :P [04:39] thiebaude- how can i change it? [04:39] there isn't a /etc/rc.conf file in ubuntu 8.04, which is the replacement or can I create it with no problems? [04:39] Newb, double click it [04:39] zChris: A bug report says NFS implementation in Hardy won't properly show permission denied, instead it makes it look like a timeout [04:39] :( [04:39] evilbug:i have intel 815 [04:39] zChris, if i install ubuntu as os, boot will ask me to choose either to execute xp or ubuntu, correct? [04:39] j1solutions, i am not sure what 'professional means' but been using only GNU/Linux for past 9 years and Ubuntu from 2005 [04:39] so will that tutorial work even though im on hardy heron? [04:39] zChris: Problem is, my setup looks fine :/ [04:39] Virtue: audicious or rythmbox that is included in hardy :) [04:39] thiebaude- i have a nvidia geforce 4 mx. [04:39] Devis, it should. give it a try [04:39] !amarok | Virtue [04:39] Virtue: Amarok is an audio player for Linux with an intuitive interface. The latest version is 1.4.8 (1.4.3 for Dapper LTS). Packages are available for Kubuntu at www.kubuntu.org See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Amarok [04:39] Devis: I think the 7.10 instructions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox work on 8.04 [04:39] hi, there's a folder on the trash can i can't delete it says i don't have the permission, how do i delete it from the terminal? [04:40] Mikey: probably [04:40] Some_Person: well, i was part of debian-desktop... so we've been trying to get a debian-based desktop up and running for years [04:40] sensae: :S sneaky, can be 2 problems then :P [04:40] Some_Person: well before Ubuntu came [04:40] evilbug:goto screen resolution [04:40] Virtue: sudo rm [04:40] anyone have a toshiba satellite Sa135-4666. I cant get the headphone jack to work :( [04:40] zChris: oh... erm.. [04:40] i started using linux 9 years ago, but became an NT admin since then. using ubuntu since 2005, now no windows boxes at my house [04:40] Mikey: :) [04:40] thiebaude- it's only showing 50hz.what next? [04:40] evilbug:do you have 8.04? [04:40] lemsx1: oh, ok. i started using linux (and ubuntu) with breezy. was inexperienced and in 6th grade at the time [04:40] j1solutions, am afraid you dont need a cert then ;) [04:40] missing operand [04:40] thiebaude- 7.10 [04:40] sensae: is this NFSv4 ? [04:40] Hey guys. I just wrote a lovely script to start up a shoutcast server on startup, however, when it runs, it starts writing output to the screen, and stalls the rest of the startup, even though I configured it not to. Any help? [04:40] What should I do to get ACPI working well with cpu fan? Its not scaling... and sometimes simply turns off, causing an overheating... [04:41] zChris, the boot thing scares me lol [04:41] thiebaude- i had even more issues with 8.04. [04:41] usser: and starnestommy thanks, but how do I open a consol for sudo dpkg -i filename.deb... im a newb [04:41] so does anyone know if there is an easy quick fix for the sound on the 24" aluminum iMac that I haven't come across [04:41] usser, thanks, I'll check it right away :] [04:41] probably not, techno. you're right. instead of studying for some test i should do something else in my 'lab' [04:41] Mikey: why? backup the things you really need [04:41] Newb: applications > accessories > terminal [04:41] thanks [04:41] What package contains docs on functions such as atoi? [04:41] evilbug:wow, im stumped on that one, i wish i knew the answer [04:41] lopin: how about using > /dev/null 2>&1 ? [04:41] techno, what do you do for living? [04:42] Newb, why dont you just double click the deb? [04:42] Hey I've got a quick question, is it possible to install ubuntu on an SD card? [04:42] thiebaude- thanks for trying. [04:42] !ot | j1solutions [04:42] j1solutions: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [04:42] lemsxl: It's the client, and doesn't say which version with a dpkg -l [04:42] evilbug:yw [04:42] can anyone help me change the refresh rate in 7.10? [04:42] mavsman4457: FIOS? I'm envious [04:42] tmapj, we did get it working though right? [04:42] Newb: you can actually double click the .deb file and the program will install [04:42] evilbug: nvidia? [04:42] sensae: rpcinfo -p server [04:42] lemsx1, Thanks... I remember doing that at one point with something, and i figure there's some reason that I just wrote this script, but I don't quite remember. If it doesn't work, I'll be back. Thanks! ^.^ [04:42] yes emma [04:42] thanks for the reminder zChris [04:43] j1solutions: yw :) [04:43] starnestommy: will sudo dpkg -i filename.deb recognize if the file is in a certain folder? [04:43] sensae: that will tell you what the server supports... showmount -e server <-- will show the mounts, if you use the full path, you are on NFSv3 [04:43] dose programs for ubuntu 7.10 works for 8.04 ??? [04:43] tmapj, I think that's the best I can do for you. You might want to check in #vlc or #mplayer for app specific questions that might make things easier for you. [04:43] soulreape1: most do [04:43] Some_Person- nvidia geforce 4 mx with a CRT which works at 60hz (i think) in windows but only at 50hz in ubuntu.everything is fine except for video playback.and yes,i have the restricted driver installed. [04:43] lemsxl: Server is unknown host. FYI, this system doesn't have an NFS server installed [04:43] Newb: you would need to cd to that folder first or replace filename.deb with the full path to it [04:43] evilbug: woah, you should be using 80hz, by the way, not 60 [04:44] ok thanks emma [04:44] evilbug: anyway, do "sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings" [04:44] What should I do to get ACPI working well with cpu fan? Its not scaling... and sometimes simply turns off, causing an overheating... [04:44] tmapj, yw [04:44] some_person: I have some p[roblem as evil bug, only getting around 50 hz :( withs ame card [04:44] soulreape1: programs should work fine on a newer version of any Linux OS... however, sometimes API/ABI changes break things. so you might get ocassional segfaults and calls to functions that are deprecated [04:44] Newb: do "sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings" in a terminal [04:44] evilbug, do u have an lcd monitor? [04:45] lemsxl: The server is running FreeBSD. The bug is in Hardy. [04:45] sensae: i meant for you to replace "server" with the hostname of the box you are trying (or its IP) [04:45] zChris, i still remember someone recommending me some alternatives to ubuntu, namely opensuse and fedora. they look alike, are they just different in appearance? lol [04:45] usser- no,CRT. [04:45] sensae: lies lies!! :) [04:45] Some_Person- now what? [04:45] evilbug: now, type "nvidia-settings" in the terminal [04:45] does anyone know how to get the graphics card working in a thinkpad t41? I can't switch to the extra option in visual effects [04:45] Mikey: yeah and how things are getting done and such [04:45] so if i take a tutorial for aircrack for ubuntu 7.10 and try it on my 8.04 it should work right? [04:45] sensae: ok [04:45] evilbug: and you should have options for screen res [04:45] jlsolutions, how did you know i have FIOS? [04:45] evilbug, ah bummer [04:45] evilbug: i recommend you use 80-85 hz [04:46] mavsman4457: your IP address, hostname info shows up when you log in (i am from Dedham Ma) [04:46] zChris: Okay, what about the output? [04:46] sensae: just joking with ya mate :) [04:46] Is there any way to install Windows into a file and boot said file via Grub? [04:46] zChris: lol sorry wrong person [04:47] jlsolutions, ah i gotcha, wait, so do you know where i'm from by my ip address? [04:47] Kleedrac_: that can be done via a virtual machine [04:47] lemsx1: What about the output? [04:47] lemsx1: True but a VM doesn't support 3D acceleration which I require for this purpose :P [04:47] sensae: it's in /dev/null ;-) (blackhole) [04:47] mavsman4457: the hostname said something like bstnma.fios [04:47] #vlc [04:47] And I just got Ubuntu 8.04 set up how I like so I'm loathe to repartition and install :P [04:47] Kleedrac_: vmware ? [04:47] e [04:47] efffwf [04:47] lemsx1: vmware supports 3D acceleration? [04:47] evilbug: is it working? [04:48] lemsx1: No, I mean rpcinfo -p 192.168.1.42 gives me a list. What about it? [04:48] Kleedrac_: i've never actually use it, but it should [04:48] Some_Person- it's only giving me the option of 60hz [04:48] zChris, i still remember someone recommending me some alternatives to ubuntu, namely opensuse and fedora. they look alike, are they just different in appearance? lol [04:48] sensae: tht tells you if nfs4 is supported [04:48] evilbug: could i see a screenshot? [04:48] jlsolutions, ahh i got it well i live about 15 minutes away from dedham but does anyone know how to or if it's possible to install ubuntu n an SD card? [04:48] sensae: plus other stuff [04:48] TeddyBearBoy22: lol mike? :På [04:48] oh god wait [04:48] lemsx1: 100000 4 tcp 111 portmapper [04:48] TeddyBearBoy22: they are a lot different [04:48] What should I do to get ACPI working well with cpu fan? Its not scaling... and sometimes simply turns off, causing an overheating... === TeddyBearBoy22 is now known as Mike [04:49] Some_Person:sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings gives my an error that I cant opena lock to /var/lib/dpkg/lock open [04:49] TeddyBearBoy22, oh yea, you dont want touch a distribution that uses rpm with a 10 foot stick and both suse and fedora use rpm based package management [04:49] er, a lot more different === Mike is now known as Mikey1 [04:49] Mikey1: akwaaaard :D [04:49] zChris: lol :p [04:49] Some_Person- well,it's only giving me "Auto" or "60Hz" in the dropdown menu. [04:49] Newb: close Synaptic if you have it open [04:49] no it didnt work... I cant connect to the internet when running XP on virtualbox. :( [04:49] sensae: 100003 4 tcp 2049 nfs [04:49] Newb: or Add/Remove Programs [04:49] lemsx1: Sorry, the 4 is under version tab [04:49] usser: yep, i started on redhat, rpm is not as good as deb, for sure [04:49] Mikey1: im roftl irl :D [04:49] :p [04:49] sensae: you need the last item in the list (nfs) [04:49] evilbug: in nvidia settings, correct? [04:49] seems that i've narrowed my javascript problem to one site... this page works in windows (firefox), but not in hardy (firefox) [04:50] lemsx1: Mountd is in the list, but not nfs [04:50] Mikey1: hows it going ? :) [04:50] Some_Person- no,"x server display configuration" [04:50] j1solutions, yep and suse's yast package manager is a mess, the only good thing about rpms is incremental upgrade [04:50] s [04:50] sensae: now that's wierd ;-) could that be that you're using a user-space NFS server? [04:50] zChris: good i think lol amused by myself lol [04:50] Some_Person- there's no res option under nvidia-setting Configuration. [04:50] Mikey1: haha ^^ [04:50] evilbug: there is [04:50] sensae: i'm not sure about freebsd... but in Linux you can use user- or kernel- NFS server [04:51] evilbug: yes tehre is [04:51] Some_Person- no,it only has 5 check boxes. [04:51] lemsx1: Almost certain it's kernel [04:51] evilbug: choose from left-hand-side your GPU [04:51] sensae: then why it's portmap not showing nfs are one of the services provided?? [04:51] Some_Person: ok its dloading, will proper settings speed up the window management? [04:51] sensae: something is wrong [04:51] ih back to the question [04:51] zChris, i still remember someone recommending me some alternatives to ubuntu, namely opensuse and fedora. they look alike, are they just different in appearance? lol [04:51] Newb, possibly [04:52] lemsx1, Thanks. That worked on the output, and putting a & at the end made sure that other programs could run too... [04:52] lemsx1- and now what,all it's showing me is gpu info,nothing to select or change. [04:52] Mikey1: yeah pretty much [04:52] not really, if you use the same WM and themes they should look the same [04:52] Some_Person: so after its setup what do I do? [04:52] zChris: just drop the 1 :p [04:52] Newb: type nvidia-settings in the terminal [04:52] What should I do to get ACPI working well with cpu fan? Its not scaling... and sometimes simply turns off, causing an overheating... [04:52] Mikey1: i use tab completion :) [04:53] Newb: go to "X Server Display Configuration", then change the screen res [04:53] Mikey1, oh yea, you dont want touch a distribution that uses rpm with a 10 foot stick and both suse and fedora use rpm based package management [04:53] sensae: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10867 [04:53] evilbug: do you see this: http://img178.imageshack.us/img178/8531/screenshotdq2.png [04:53] zChris: oh ok lol [04:53] usser: how come ? [04:54] usser: in layman's term? lol it consumes more power? or slows down the processor? [04:54] is it possible to get Ubuntu (or Xubuntu for that matter (even the server version)) running on my old N64? that would make a nice server :) [04:54] Some_Person- yes,and in the drop down menu by the res it's only giving me "Auto" or "60 Hz" [04:54] Brent^: nintendo 64? :S [04:54] evilbug: oh, that is very strange [04:54] yes [04:54] zChris, somehow rpm repos seem slower and interrupted download/install can completely wreck your package manager === asgettw is now known as BTBAM [04:54] usser: weird :S [04:54] Brent^: what are you going to serve on it? [04:54] does anyone know how to get the graphics card working in a thinkpad t41? I can't switch to the extra option in visual effects [04:55] I have a c-64, will ubuntu work? [04:55] Brent^: if you actually meant "nintendo" please let me know when you get this to work... i'd like to run mythtv from my nintendo 64 :-P [04:55] hmmm.. I used to run redhat and never had any major issues.. can't speak for fedora tho [04:55] drivetrax: no but Lunix will :) === zomgoblinz__ is now known as nvrpunk [04:55] ahahaha [04:55] Lunix ?? [04:55] lunix is a unix-like OS for the C64 [04:55] jlsolutions: LAMP server I suppose... [04:55] ah, good to know [04:55] C64 != N64 . right ? [04:55] there is a higher chance of getting it working on a C64 than a n64 :) [04:55] lemsx1: yes [04:56] right [04:56] commodore64 [04:56] funny how many ppl know about it who likely never even owned a c64 [04:56] zChris, btw im downloading the x64 version, and my laptop is running on amd turion 64x2, is that ok? or i shouldve downloaded the other normal version? [04:56] any one wanna help me install aircrack? [04:56] <|thunder> just installed hardy, how do I configure pulse audio ? [04:56] Mikey1, general experience will probably be almost the same its just there are annoying little things like waiting for 5 minutes for package manager to get going its really frustrating sometimes [04:56] Mikey1: hmm, i personally prefer the 32 one.. hmm this one you have to ask other ppl about :) [04:56] |thunder: no need [04:57] since hardy, I now recommend 64bit. Stuff like codecs and flash WORK!! [04:57] my friend: "dude you could probly run the 64bit ubuntu on your Nintendo 64, cause thats what the 64 in the name means" [04:57] everyone: im downloading the x64 version, and my laptop is running on amd turion 64x2, is that ok? or i shouldve downloaded the other normal version? [04:57] jthunder: System -> Administration -> Hardware Testing [04:57] Brent^: xD [04:57] Mikey1, 64 bit is not as trivial to setup, there's no easy way to have java plugin for instance [04:57] <|thunder> lemsx1; how do I configure which streams goto which output and setup the pulse audio server ? [04:57] evilbug: how old is your card? [04:57] Mikey1: that should be fine. but what's the point if you don't have 4GB of RAM ? [04:57] Will Ubuntu on an SD card run as fast as it would on an SSD? [04:58] usser: bollox. install java package. java works. [04:58] Mikey1: 64 bit is prefered for amd64 [04:58] zcat[1], and jre plugin in firefox? [04:58] <|thunder> how do I configure pulse audio server ? [04:58] zcat[1], dont think so [04:58] |thunder: gstreamer-properties [04:58] lemsxl: It does not look like that. Also, I don't believe NFS is in the kernel as apparently there's an nfsd [04:58] I'm running 64bit here, I have codecs, java, flash... never had to do anything slightly difficult to get them working. [04:58] Some_Person- 3-4 years. [04:59] 4GB of RAM?! Mine is only 1GB :( and the download is almost done, downloading a normal version will take another long time lol [04:59] evilbug: i've never heard of nvidia-settings only giving Auto and 60hz [04:59] What should I do to get ACPI working well with cpu fan? Its not scaling... and sometimes simply turns off, causing an overheating... [04:59] lemsx1: Also, ps aux | grep nfs shows it's running [04:59] is ther a an option for disabling showing joins and parts/quits in irssi? [04:59] what is the best emulator to get for arcade roms? I have been playing with xmame, and frankly most of the rom's on a certain site just suck. [05:00] Hi, what is a good application to use for iPod? [05:00] okay, i'm having ktorrent problems [05:00] Some_Person- http://s59.photobucket.com/albums/g289/snarekrazee/?action=view¤t=Screenshot-NVIDIAXServerSettings.png [05:00] all uploads stop after about 30 seconds [05:00] pete1020: I'm fond of Amarok [05:00] there are some arcade games, in addition to games like Bases Loaded (original and version II) that don't seem to be available [05:00] sensae: i've seen more NFS issues than you can imagine (or i can tell you on this room). kernel NFS thread crashes sometimes and this produces all kinds of issues... I'm not sure if this is why you are seeing this problem on FreeBSD. . . and since this is an Ubuntu channel. you might want to ask for that in #ubuntu-offtopic or ubuntu-users mailing list [05:00] pete1020: rockbox [05:01] Alright I'm trying to restart apache2. I run sudo apache2 -k restart but I'm getting this error message can anyone help? apache2: bad user name ${APACHE_RUN_USER} [05:01] ^fuji^ [05:01] oh nvm you said app [05:01] are there any applications to get microsoft Zune to sync with some Ubuntu music player?

[05:01] anyone know what might be causing my printer (Brother MFC-7220) to no longer be able to print anything? I'm sure I didn't change anything in the way of drivers, i rarely do anything as root......the other day i was able to print fine, now the print jobs just "run" and disappear...printer does nothing [05:02] evilbug: like not widescreen? [05:02] kindofabuzz: does rockbox work well in gnome? [05:02] pete1020: You can still install Amarok - I'm on GNOME [05:02] Newb- yes. [05:02] Some_Person- one sec... [05:02] theshadow: I have no idea but hey it works [05:02] pete1020: Rockbox is a replacement firmware you install ON your ipod [05:02] evilbug: lower the resolution [05:02] i'm about to install XP on a new partition so that at least my printers will work and I can play some games :D [05:02] mang.. whas up [05:02] Newb- i want it 1280x1024 [05:02] pete1020: i spoke too soon, you're looking for an app, rockbox is an open sourc firmware replacement [05:02] ridge-meister: don't do that [05:02] evilbug: it had higher refresha t that res before? [05:03] sensae: I have had some unusual issues with amarok, are there any codecs that you downloaded? [05:03] if you have 3rd gen though it doesn't work [05:03] kindofabuzz: ok thanks, I will have to look into it [05:03] j1solutions: don't do what? [05:03] hey guys, I am setting up an ubuntu server (6.04) when it was imaged, it only had root. I've created the user and set the bash and home directory, but since I mkdir'd that directory from root, it doesn't have permission [05:03] pete1020: So far it's just working [05:03] ridge-meister: install XP [05:03] Newb- i've always had this issue with ubuntu and that's what i'm blaming it on since i'm using the same res in windows and i have no issue at all. [05:03] jgoo: man chown and chgrp [05:03] j1solutions: got a better solution? :) [05:03] any idea why nine out of ten torrent for linux programs never work? [05:04] evilbug: ok nvm then [05:04] zChris: im almost done downloading ubuntu, can i install wubi now? ;) [05:04] zChris, how do I edit Bash ? [05:04] lunchbox330: they all work [05:04] i've had very bad luck with torrents and linux [05:04] Virtue: you mean the config file for bash? [05:04] zChris, ok, I was about to try that, I just wanted to be sure that home directories weren't special in any way :) thanks [05:04] did your printer ever work with linux? [05:04] sensae: does rockbox support 6th gen ipod? [05:04] zChris, I guess so, where is it located? bin ? [05:04] Mikey1: Wubi uses that iso file :P [05:04] lemsx1: Would you mind trying to help me in PM? I've gotten farther [05:04] lunchbox330: i use deluge a lot and like it [05:04] some_person: thanks for your help with the nvidia card [05:04] sensae: I have been using exaile for the most part, but it seems like it is slightly limited [05:04] j1solutions: guess i wasn't clear enough...the other day i printed fine in linux with the printer [05:04] Virtue: its in ~/.bashrc [05:04] earthling: No clue. I've used it on my 5.5gen [05:04] Hey, I am encountering problems with X-Forwarding. Could someone help me?

Try Nexuiz [05:05] ronnyr: X11 forwarding ? [05:05] Xes. [05:05] Yes. [05:05] lunchbox330: that's a know problem with Deluge, it's been fixed in recent releases, upgrade your deluge [05:05] sensae: sure. PM me [05:05] I'm having problems with python script, it tells me about UnicodeDecodeError [05:05] why isn't it downstream yet then? [05:05] lunchbox330: check out the deluge site and forums [05:06] zChris, when I type /etc/bash.bashrc it says "permission denied", although I'm logged in root [05:06] someone tell me if this was a bad idea: I mounted the iso for Ubuntu HH using Daemon Tools on vista and installed through Wubi like that because I couldn't find a CD. [05:06] lunchbox330: just because something comes out doesn't mean it always makes it to the ubuntu repos right away [05:06] Virtue: its in your home directory :) [05:06] j1solutions: i've already tried "working on" getting the printer to work again in linux...that's why i am now in here...complete noob here, i couldn't find anything in the way of google to help me [05:06] Virtue: you are kidding right?

[05:06] ridge-meister: what is the printer model? [05:07] lunchbox330: there is a .deb on the deluge site, unintall your older one first [05:07] Newb: you're welcome then [05:07] Brent^, no i dont think it matters, as long as the installation went fine you should be ok [05:07] j1solutions: it's a Brother MFC-7220 [05:07] Virtue: logged in as root and typing random stuff? [05:07] Brent^, Unetbootin was available to use.. all along [05:07] Some_Person- too small? [05:07] I m on a mac machine. I ssh to my server using -X attribute. Then, if I try to start wmaker, it doesn't work... It says "Dplay "" couldn't be opened. [05:07] lemsx1, yea [05:07] lemsx1: be gently [05:07] :] [05:07] evilbug: i need to see the whole file [05:07] zChris: sure... [05:07] kindofabuzz, ill try it then. thx [05:07] What should I do to get ACPI working well with cpu fan? Its not scaling... and sometimes simply turns off, causing an overheating... [05:07] help: after installing modem driver, sound test fails with message: "audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Failed to connect stream: Invalid argument". any hints? [05:08] usser: It froze up and I had to restart doing a 6 second shutdown [05:08] hey, is there a shell command that makes me log out of gnome? it doesnt respond on the buttons atm === Mikey1 is now known as Mikey [05:08] im using xfce right now with xubuntu, if I get fluxbox would the layout of things/button locations stay the same? [05:08] ronnyr: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart, on the server, then try to connect again, of kdm is using kde [05:08] drivetrax: thanks I'll keep that in mind for future use [05:08] finally! lol [05:08] hello. Can someone tell me which packages (not toolchain, kernel sources) I need to install to rebuild the default ubuntu kernel (I want to build an exact copy, if possible) [05:08] tras1: CTRL+ALT+backspace [05:08] evilbug: hang on, which screen res did you say you were using? [05:08] brent113, -- network install, parts & formats [05:08] Brent^, hm, why dont u burn the cd i think daemon tools allows converting to iso or burning directly [05:08] tras1 and others -- doing that will restart X and any programs you are running in X will be lost. [05:08] is there any place i can go to read the "ERRATA" (or things that do not work well) under Ubuntu amd64 ? [05:09] er, Brent^ [05:09] irasnyd: google rebuild ubuntu kernel, plenty of guides [05:09] Some_Person- 1280x1024 [05:09] ktorrent broke my last computer, corrupted my file system, i eventually had to fsck it about 25 times before i gave up [05:09] zChris, works a charm. I just setup my .bashrc (erm, copied my 8.04 and pasted to the 6.04) but my /bashrc isn't executed when I login....I had to source.bashrc [05:09] hi guys, this is my problem: i have installed libdvdcss2 pkg and i can't play any comercial dvd... with any player (vlc, xine, totem, mplayer, etc) any idea?? [05:09] haha! [05:09] kindofabuzz: I guess xdm is my standard window manager. What would be then the command to restart it ? [05:09] Some_Person- should i put it as "1280x1024_80" or something like that? [05:09] jgoo: hmm ? [05:09] ridge-meister: what is you email address? [05:09] usser: I lack a CD [05:09] evilbug: must be a big monitor.... but anyway, have you been able to get that screen res on other OS's? [05:09] Is it safe to use "proposed updates" in a production environment? I'd consider myself a power-user by far, though [05:09] ronnyr: what are you running? [05:09] Virkoff, try sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [05:09] Some_Person- yes,and it's only a 15" 4:3 crt. [05:10] evilbug: i mean refresh rate, sorry, have you been able to get it on other OS's [05:10] emm is done... [05:10] kindofabuzz: distrib? [05:10] emma: is done... [05:10] zChris, I made my username permission (just chown, haven't setup groups...) for my home, I added a bashrc, I relogged in but, the ll alias for instance didn't work, only after trying source .bashrc [05:10] ronnyr: gnome? kde? xfce? [05:10] thanks for the reminder :) [05:10] evilbug: woah, 1280x1024 on a 15"? The standard res for 15" is 800x600 [05:10] obviously worked [05:10] Virkoff, I'm sorry I don't know then. [05:10] I just installed FreeType 2.0, and now I can't start many GUI applications (including things like gedit). How can I revert to whatever version I had previously? [05:10] Brent^, well dunno what to say... if it errors out dont force it [05:10] Brent^, with no cd burner.. and no Live CD, or Alternate CD, unetbootin may be your only way to install [05:10] jgoo: ah okey :) [05:10] kindofabuzz: Now, gnome's active on the server. [05:10] evening everyone [05:10] Some_Person- like i said,windows uses it at 60Hz.i set it at 60Hz now in ubuntu but video is still lagging. [05:10] emma: tnxz anyway [05:10] jgoo: hjow dod you login? [05:10] ronnyr: yeah it's gdm them [05:10] j1solutions: did you get it? [05:10] then* [05:10] Some_Person- maybe i need to do a restart first? [05:10] zChris, I can't find bash config... Home contains my user dir :/ [05:10] Some_Person, you're crazy, I'd take 1280x1024 on a 15" any day, to save my eyes [05:11] zChris, aaah, ssh [05:11] lol [05:11] evilbug: well, 60Hz is all it allows on ubuntu, sorry, i just checked [05:11] jgoo: okey, but it works now ? [05:11] kindofabuzz: It says "Not starting GNOME Display Manager; it is not the default display manager [05:11] would anyone be willing to help me for a few seconds? [05:11] evilbug: you could lower your res, but thats all i can say, its nvidia's fault [05:11] Virtue: you create the file yourself with nano ~/.bashrc [05:11] zChris, well, if I relogin, I still need to source my .bashrc ... minor detail [05:11] Some_Person- what about if i get an lcd? [05:11] ridge-meister: no, [05:11] zChris: can i change the theme to red or blue? the colour looks too natural to me lol [05:11] ronnyr: then you're not running gdm them, which is gnome default [05:11] this is my problem: i have installed libdvdcss2 pkg and i can't play any comercial dvd... with any player (vlc, xine, totem, mplayer, etc) any idea?? [05:11] evilbug: no difference [05:11] zChris, okay, thank you :] [05:11] j1solutions: how do i "pm" you the email address? [05:12] jgoo: are you kidding me? that text would be tiny! [05:12] What would I use to restart xdm? [05:12] xdm [05:12] no wai! [05:12] Some_Person- so not even a better gpu would do the trick? [05:12] jgoo: good .) [05:12] usser: oh I did it a while ago and it works fine. I was just wondering if it was a dumb idea to do it that way in the first place. [05:12] Mikey: huh? :P [05:12] zChris, if I can ssh, then I can already scp right? but gnome commander doesn't do scp! any alternatives? [05:12] some_person:thats true [05:12] just send me an email at j9solutions-triumph@yahoo.com [05:12] can someone give me link to or help me install video card drivers please. [05:12] I just installed FreeType 2.0, and now I can't start many GUI applications (including things like gedit). How can I revert to whatever version I had previously?

You can set your DPI and use point sizes, have same size text, but rendered at ~120DPI, instead of 72 DPI!! [05:12] evilbug: possibly, you would have to research it, i am not knowledgeable in that sort of thing [05:12] jgoo: i havent used scp [05:12] emma: im going to try [05:12] ronnyr: try to connect again [05:13] Some_Person- i see.

[05:14] bha [05:14] zChris: wubi asks which drive i wanna install ubuntu and next it asks bout the size, which is default to 15 (i think)... is that changeable or its recommended to leave it as is? [05:14] Some_Person- i want to resize the system icons to my own liking.i've tried setting the zoom and everything to how i want in gconf-editor but it still won't show. [05:14] hi all..

[05:15] zChris: in that case wots the recommended size? (will the size be used to save files from ubuntu)? [05:15] soulreape1: dosent sudo apt-get install aircrack work ? [05:15] Virkoff, I see. I am at a loss then. I'm sorry. [05:15] evilbug:stretch icons [05:15] Some_Person, You should run at native on an LCD, and highest on a non (but of course, bitmap images aren't resolution, so your images would look smaller) also, when using 120DPI, websites can get fluffed up [05:15] I have to try to sleep now. Goodnight one and all. [05:15] Mikey: 10b and aboce i think [05:15] how do I get permission ?? :] [05:15] Gn emma [05:15] I am preparing to install Hardy on my laptop, where I already have (and need to keep) WinXP.

[05:23] Newb: Sry I use gnome, I don't know any thing about xfce [05:23] CorbinFox: i would say so yes, not 100 though :) [05:24] vbman11: but when you changed did the layout change? [05:24] zChris, I'm editing via nano, but how do I use context menus? the "^X" ?

I cannot use atrl-alt-f1, the terminal doesn't comeup [05:26] * Brent^ is very happy he finally has a working screensaver plugin (one that makes the flying window effect) [05:26] is this working [05:26] zChris: Im installing it now [05:26] Newb: in fact they won't change(WINDOW Manager) [05:26] Mikey: yeay! :) [05:26] I read something about... breeding elephants? some system commands to kill and shutdown?

I can't switch to the extra option in visual effects [05:28] Mikey: haha depends on how smooth it goes :) [05:28] zChris, yeah http://micrux.net/?p=60 [05:28] vbman11: doing which command? [05:28] Argh, I'm so close to getting NFS to work - It's just giving me permission denid :x [05:28] *denied [05:28] Flannel: svn co svn://svn.banshee-project.org/trunk/banshee-itunes-plugin [05:28] What should I do to get ACPI working well with cpu fan? Its not scaling... and sometimes simply turns off, causing an overheating... [05:28] dlx_: ok then have you installed air crack before [05:28] zChris, if your machine froze now, caps lock not responding, but mouse could move, and ctrl-alt-f1 didn't work... what would you do? [05:28] soulreape1, no, but it would't be a problem, you got it in REPO [05:28] aaah it is 'Raising Elephants Is So Utterly Boring' herhehe [05:29] vbman11: unknown hostname means svn can't resolve that address, and I can't either. Its definately a problem on their end (or an old address) [05:29] soulreape1, open a console, and type this, sudo apt-get install aircrack-ng [05:29] jgoo_: aaah :) [05:29] is doing sudo chown username /var/www/ going to cause any security problems on my LAMP server? [05:29] Flannel: it is suposed to be a banshee plugin [05:29] jgoo_: try alt sysrq thingy [05:29] omg it wants me to reboot [05:29] vbman11: Shouldn't it be http://svn.gnome.org/svn/banshee/trunk/banshee ? [05:29] zChris, any ideas? doorbell the machine? or can I save it using magic / more magic ? [05:29] ok :( [05:29] zChris: cool eh [05:30] jgoo_: try to ssh it [05:30] Mikey: gl! :) [05:30] rebooting, brb [05:30] Brent^, no i dont think so, cause you need to get write persmission, and to get that you need chown before chmod [05:30] vbman11: libipod device? ipodsharp? [05:30] zChris, good idea!! and kill some stuff. if I kill compiz... I should restart metacity... [05:30] dlx_: thank you [05:30] zChris - how to do that? :p [05:30] Brent^, You welcome [05:30] Flannel: that is"itunes store" [05:31] ronnyr: http://www.x.org/wiki/FAQErrorMessages [05:31] Dlx_: what is repo [05:31] soulreape1, apt-get is repo [05:31] jgoo_: well first, you have to have SSHD enabled, if you havent activly enabled it your doomed :) [05:31] ok [05:31] soulreape1, just type the damn commands!

[05:31] start it up and hack [05:31] jgoo_: :) [05:31] Flannel: with out the "that is" [05:31] raising elepphants it is... [05:31] ronnyr: The number denotes the display number (in this case 0). This number needs to be unique on the system, so you cannot run two servers on one system with identical display numbers. This message indicates that there is already a server with this number running on the system. You can verify this by running [05:31] <_Net> I think I have similar question to Brent^ . [05:32] Please Somebody http://paste.ubuntu-fr-secours.org/source-198.html [05:32] vbman11: Looks like its defunct, it was aleady unmaintained. If you'll have any luck, it'll be through asking the banshee people where the repos might've gone [05:32] hmm? [05:32] <_Net> I have lampp installed in /opt/lampp but my Zend IDE cannot write or read from it because it requires root [05:32] <_Net> If I do a chomod a+x /opt/lampp would that cause any damages? [05:32] _Net: why not install it properly? [05:32] <_Net> I did install it properly. [05:32] Flannel: check out this page "http://banshee-project.org/PluginRepository" [05:32] Dlx_: so do you know how to use it [05:33] soulreape1, lmao, no i havne't use it anytime [05:33] vbman11: right, it's not there. Ask the banshee people. It may be that they cleaned up unmaintained plugins, I have no idea. [05:33] <_Net> It works fine. Its just the root user that has the permissions to read and write to /opt/lampp and not my current user [05:33] lol [05:33] i go watch a vid then [05:33] soulreape1, but, lol... it isnt to hard, just read... or get urself a video about how to crack wlan go to irongeek.com [05:33] Flannel: k thanks! [05:33] so its installed right? [05:33] ok the fact that that worked is insane.... after R-E-I the mouse stopped working [05:33] _Net: use gksudo to open Zend ide as root [05:33] gotta go [05:34] i would chown it to the www-data user and group and add yourself to that group [05:34] night everyone [05:34] hrm, I think this is the first time ever rebooting this machine in weeks anyway [05:34] can anyone here please look at my thread on the forums and give some feedback thanks : http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=4907852&postcount=1 [05:34] Dlx_: its installd right [05:34] wastrel: you better highlight him :) [05:34] <_Net> zChris: Thats going to ask my my administrative password everytime I try to run Zend. [05:34] back to being me again [05:34] * jgoo_ slaps jgoo some more [05:34] i would chown it to the www-data user and group and add yourself to that group _Net [05:34] Dlx_: thanx [05:34] ultimate.outsidersz.com [05:35] _Net: do what wastrel said its a nice solution [05:35] DOH! [05:35] linlynx6: paste the whole thing, not just that excerpt [05:35] pfft @ j1solutions [05:35] soulreape1, Perfect, now crack something, good luck. have fun. [05:35] kindofabuzz: It now says: "X11 connection refused because of wrong authentification. X connection to localhost:10.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown) [05:36] <_Net> wastrel: Okay. But what exactly do you mean by www-data? [05:36] What should I do to get ACPI working well with cpu fan? Its not scaling... and sometimes simply turns off, causing an overheating... [05:36] _Net: www-data is the user that apache runs as on debian/ubuntu [05:37] Has anyone in here successfully compiled Vidalia for Hardy? [05:37] actually i don't know if you're supposed to have writable on www-data owned stuff for just that reason [05:37] hrm scrap that idea [05:37] <_Net> wastrel: Oh your saying I should add my current user to the group of root under group management? [05:38] _Net: group of www-data [05:38] ronnyr: some kind of authentication error then [05:38] I can't begin to express my anger that anything users upload to my server is by befault owned by www-data and I can't view it without chown'ing it [05:38] I can't find opera in synaptic :( [05:38] Brent^: Upload via what? [05:38] paging zChris [05:38] http form [05:38] !opera | Newb [05:38] Newb: opera is an advanced and free (only as in price) web browser. Install it via Applications->Add/Remove..., making sure that "Show commercial applications" (dapper only) is checked. For more info on opera please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OperaBrowser [05:38] Mikey: yes teddybear?

[05:39] when I run ethereal in hardy, in order for it to *see* eth0 i have to run it with elvated privleges? GKSU?? why [05:39] Mikey, Press the button :P [05:39] Mikey: didnt you get an option to select ubuntu ? [05:39] kindofabuzz: What can i do? [05:39] God, so I can't type 'i' in my terminal anymore. [05:39] nah [05:39] Brent^: The permissions that php is set up to create the file with. That's what determines those perms. [05:39] wait... i left the laptop to grab some quick lunch just now... maybe i missed it! lol lemme reboot againt [05:39] *again [05:39] haha [05:39] Flannel: in php.ini right? [05:40] hahaha [05:40] Brent^: I'm not really sure where it is [05:40] check your /etc/ssh/sshd_config, and uncomment #X11uselocalhost yes [05:40] if there [05:40] Flannel: I'll look for it tomarow [05:40] ronnyr: change it to no [05:41] ronnyr: and you may have to restart the server [05:41] What should I change to, kindofabuzz?

When I plug in my iPOD ubuntu opens Rhythmbox but when I click on any songs it just gives me the red icon and doesn't play anything [05:42] 1 thing thats bad about Wubi installs... if windows crashes and you try and boot into Ubuntu you get stuck at some black screen with an input line that doesnt seem to do ANYTHING useful and you have to go back over to windows and do a clean shutdown and go back to Ubuntu after that [05:42] anyone have any luck using tilp? [05:42] Brent^: that input line, you mean the terminal? ;) [05:42] <_Net> Actually none of the sound players play and sound [05:43] for some reason i cant get any sound out of headphone's jack on my laptop [05:43] zChris: yeah but you can only do the commands it lets you [05:43] anyone else havin that problem [05:43] Brent^: its not full bash ?

[05:51] yes...let me try and open it [05:51] kindofabuzz: that would make sense if we were in the winworld; this however is an open source-player (helix), only the codecs are restructed; And about sucking: watching NASA-tcv on Totem makes me sad with soundlag and mpeg-artefacts, kaffein doesn't lag but has the ugly artefacts; Real player or better helix with real codec does not. [05:51] MrPiracy: did you search synaptic for video codecs? [05:51] bah, the darn menu won't let me click [05:52] what is that displayconfig comande? [05:52] Deepthought: VLC baby [05:52] kindofabuzz: no, but does it have a package in it? i need Intel codec 4 and h.264 [05:52] there we go [05:52] MrPiracy, I recommend sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [05:52] MrPiracy: VLC to you too.

[05:53] here please http://paste.ubuntu-fr-secours.org/source-199.html [05:53] without codecs [05:53] you' ve got a point there... Though I'm not sure about the artefacts, think they' re there as well.. but lemme try again, and see how the real stream looks there; maybe it's not the player but the stream-codec that's to blame [05:53] click on gnome and click "Mark for reinstallation" and hit apply (someone correct me if theres something else he should do first) [05:53] kindofabuzz: how can i install VLC?

[05:58] im sorry lol this is all really new [05:58] !virtual machine [05:58] There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications [05:58] what is the default virtual machine program in 8.04? [05:58] !VMWare [05:58] VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player", not available for Gutsy, only Feisty and Edgy), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. Instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers [05:58] how do I run it? [05:58] Libvirt? [05:58] !VirtualBox [05:58] virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer.

[05:59] stefan_, but i dont really know, [05:59] darknesssinc: not drivers, but programs called "codec" so that media players can play mp3 files etc [05:59] and I have 700mb free on a 1gb ram system! wooohoo [05:59] _Net: cp -r thisfolder thatfolder [05:59] alright, so first things first... so java then audio codecs [06:00] and... 700mb free on a 2gb system... running compiz... wooha :p [06:00] anyone know if running a fs directly on a drive without a partition is stupid? ;) [06:00] just google java linux or === mikelinux is now known as RootMR [06:00] torgrimt: generally, yes. fairly dangerous [06:00] stefan_, am trying virtualbox now, from the repo [06:00] zcat[1]: why ? [06:00] zcat[1]: seems to work just fine [06:00] torgrimt: a lot of usb drives are set up that way though [06:00] hi iwas wondering if someone could help me, im trying to connect to my other PC which is windows, both, this laptop (ubuntu), and the windowsPC are wireless [06:00] !worksforme [06:00] Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ [06:01] kindofabuzz: OK, VLC does not play the real stream, and, as I already knew and just made sure, on WM-stream it gives the ssame ugly blocky edges to just about everything I watch. But like I said, could be the codec's the pronb, not the player; any player that WILL play a real stream in linux ? [06:01] i'm running hardy powerpc. the brightness buttons on the keyboard don't change the brightness (though they do pop up the scale) and neither does the toolbar item. is there any other way to change this? i'm going blind [06:01] zcat[1]: some sans also i noticed [06:01] kindofabuzz: or is there xtra pluginz for VLC (I used to be big vlc fan in win-days) ? [06:01] anyone have luck connecting a mp3 player (creative zen vision:m) to ubuntu or getting it to work in vbox [06:02] eatatjoes: tried gnomads2? [06:02] dlx_: I know about vbox and vmware, I wanted to use the Ubuntu 8.04 native application [06:02] any ideas how to start it? [06:02] torgrimt, i tried but it says that i dont have a jukebox player connected [06:02] !libvirt [06:02] Factoid libvirt not found [06:02] torgrimt: mostly because a lot of software will assume that it's 'safe' to overwrite the MBR or alter the partition table. Particularly, that it's safe to recreate a partition table if you don't have anything recognisable there. Which will trash the first block of your filesystem if you're using the whole drive unpartitioned [06:02] I'm back, I just crashed o.o [06:02] is there a method in gnome to open a non-executable file with whichever program gnome would default to oppening it with if you had double clicked it? (similar to the "start" method in windows) [06:02] <_Net> Worked, thanks zcat[1] [06:03] zcat[1]: hmm ;) [06:03] does anyone know how i can manually delete my music from my ipod? all the readers show it empty, but only 11 gb / 30 is left [06:03] and generally; it just is less messy to partition, even if you only have one. It takes two 512 byte blocks.. that's almost nothing. [06:04] alright downloading java, anyone got a good codec pack i should download? [06:04] problem is that parted or fdisk dosent want to create a 3tb filesystem [06:04] stefan_, dont know, sorry [06:04] or.. they cant read the geometry from the drive [06:04] I think you can force them :) === nico_ is now known as nico_|gone [06:04] /dev/sdc 3.2T 199M 3.0T 1% /media/jumbo [06:04] ;) [06:04] not sure, I've never had a drive that big [06:05] oh wow.. lol 3tb of space? [06:05] for the emulation fans out there, is there a player on linux that can play USF files? [06:05] seems to work atleast [06:06] Hey [06:06] oh well.. [06:06] hello [06:06] =D [06:06] I have a question! :D [06:06] hello everybody :P [06:06] whats your question? [06:06] darknessinc: 3.2 ;) [06:06] !ask | DeltaSlaya [06:06] DeltaSlaya: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [06:06] DeltaSlaya, ask [06:07] ok... any idea why time wouldn't accept arguments? [06:07] hold on [06:07] lol thats just sick... lol i have like 300gb lol === Arct|cA|rborne is now known as _A^A_ [06:07] cycom: depends what you're trying to do with time [06:07] as in, time -V reports that -V is not found by bash [06:07] in ubuntu 8.04 there is an option on the right mouse menu, (click right mouse on a file) for encryption. whenever I go to encrypt a file, it comes up with a box about encryption keys and so forth. does anybody have any clues as to how to encrypt, as no keys are listed in the box, hence forth not allowing me to click ok . [06:07] hmm for some reason i downloaded java and now its on my desktop but i cant open it... ? [06:07] cycom: you may also be confusing it with date.. do man time and man date to see the difference [06:07] In nautilus, where you select what happens when a media device is connected / inserted, how do you change the application shown there, to another one? [06:07] Does Ubuntu 8.04 use /boot/grub/menu.list and if so why does mine show the right stuff for 8.04 but at boot it tries to load 7.10 though there is no 7.10 stuff in menu.lst... yes I have run update-grub [06:07] Lard|arse: time as in time the exectution of a program. [06:07] how'd you download java, darknessinc? === nico_|gone is now known as nico_ [06:08] from java website [06:08] Lard|arse: which is supposed to accept -V to show the version of time. [06:08] Can anyone answer my question should I ask again? [06:08] try using synaptic instead =p [06:08] darknessinc: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [06:08] cycom: ok... then read man time, as it says in there how to force it to not use the shell's version of time [06:08] does anyone know how i can manually delete my music from my ipod? all the readers show it empty, but only 11 gb / 30 is left [06:08] jameswf-home, yeah ubuntu uses that check it out remove the older kernel from there [06:08] In nautilus, where you select what happens when a media device is connected / inserted, how do you change the application shown there, to another one? [06:08] !patience | DeltaSlaya [06:08] hi all. I want to generate an ER diagram from sql file. I mean it may look like MySQL Workbench or MS Access in Windows. How do I do that in Ubuntu? I have used Ferret, but it seems it doesn't fit my need. Thanks [06:08] DeltaSlaya: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [06:09] Lard|arse: bingo. missed that. === de3de is now known as fery [06:09] Is that a bot, whats wrong with my attitude? [06:09] jameswf-home: edit your /boot/grub menu.1st file and change the default number. count down from 0 to where your 8.04 is on the list and then make the default value equal to that value. [06:09] cycom: i remembred reading that earlier this week :-) [06:09] lol thanks... i dontreally know what its all downloading [06:09] but it must be needed:) [06:09] DeltaSlayer, i forget where it is, but there is something similar to the windows registry on ubuntu... You might want to try that. [06:10] dessnr: none of the 8.04 options show at boot [06:10] How do I get into this registry like thing? [06:10] darknessinc, i'm assuming waht you put on the desktop was a .bin file, those can be a pain if you don't have everyting you need.... [06:10] Greets! Is there a way to recover the Admin Password in Ubuntu? [06:10] Lard|arse: it's goofy because which time responds with /usr/bin/time [06:10] ya it was a bin [06:10] jameswf-home, run update-initramfs [06:10] jameswf-home: have a look if they exist at all in your boot/grub/menu.1st file/// [06:10] DarthGimp, it's your password... [06:10] but i did just open terminal and paste that info u linked to me [06:10] DeltaSlaya: there is no registry [06:10] cycom: see also man bash ? [06:11] I'm assuming it's a nautilus option. I mean I installed Amarok and I want it to open when I plug in my iPod. [06:11] DeltaSlaya: what do you mean switch app? [06:11] Kohlrak, the password has been forgotten [06:11] oh [06:11] darthgimp: With physical access, you can overwrite the admin password. There's no way to 'recover' the password without massive computational power. [06:11] Kohlrak, I am asking on behalf of someone [06:11] Well it only shows Musicthing for me, I want it to also have Ubuntu as an option. [06:11] AMAROK** [06:11] I meant amarok there lol [06:11] ran update-initramfs let me see what happens... [06:11] anyone know how to address this error "Check your libusb and usbfs permissions, too." [06:12] DeltaSlaya: does amorok support ipods? if so, just plug in your ipod then open amorok, or have it already open [06:12] Yea I might just do that. [06:12] darknessinc, usually when you download a linux.bin it's a binary file that you need to set permissions to with "chmod +x [app path here]" and "./[app path here]" [06:13] Why did they move the majority of the preferred application options to the Nautilus settings instead of the System settings in this version (8.04) of Ubuntu? [06:13] patifa, so then .. its a reinstall? [06:13] Probably efficiency reasons, deltaSlaya [06:13] DeltaSlaya: http://www.howtoforge.com/linux_amarok_ipod [06:13] Darth, pretty much... [06:13] True, but I think it confused everyone! [06:13] Okay, doing showmount -e shows I'm exporting the right directory with the right settings, but I can't mount this NFS share. "Permission denied" [06:14] thanks guys! [06:14] in ubuntu 8.04 there is an option on the right mouse menu, (click right mouse on a file) for encryption. whenever I go to encrypt a file, it comes up with a box about encryption keys and so forth. does anybody have any clues as to how to encrypt, as no keys are listed in the box, hence forth not allowing me to click ok . [06:14] wow lol this is gonna take me months or years to learn all this coding [06:14] can i adjust lcd brightness from the command line? [06:14] darknessinc: ? [06:15] irc://irc.deltaanime.net/mexicanmafia [06:15] Anyone familiar with NFS shares? [06:15] kindofabuzz: Ok! It works now for single programs. But how do I use a complete Window Manager via ssh? Is that possible? [06:15] ronnyr: vnc [06:15] Nose Fart/Nintendo Sound Format? [06:15] DarthGimp: No, you need to boot into single usermode, then forcibly alter the the password to someone in the admin group. [06:15] kindofabuzz: not via ssh -X? [06:15] Ok I have another question: What's the easiest way to get my Logitech G11 Keyboard (like G15 without screen) to map commands to the G1-18 keys. When I used librarys and editing keyboard files and stuff they didn't all work correctly. [06:15] ronnyr: what do you mean, actually see the server desktop and stuff? [06:15] DarthGimp: And to get into singleuser mode, you'll need physical access to the machine. [06:16] kind: Yes [06:16] ronnyr: yeah vnc is all you need [06:16] DeltaSlaya: I use G15 tools for that, but it's a bit flaky [06:16] i mean, lol i just installed ubuntu. and im kind of lost i have no exp with linux [06:16] ssh is cl [06:16] hey, I'm running keychain to add my ssh keys, but when I ssh out, it doesn't seem to use them... this is new in hardy. it worked fine in gutsy :\ any idea how to make it work? [06:16] cl? [06:16] command line [06:16] kind: That's why we use ssh -X [06:16] !keychain [06:16] Factoid keychain not found [06:17] hmm :\ === ubuntu is now known as PEDIK [06:17] irc.freenode.net [06:17] OSUKid7: Have you had any luck getting the right mouse button encryption going? [06:17] ronnyr: that's why you only get one app [06:17] ... [06:17] hi folks. i am currently running livecd version of Ubuntu and have a question about installing the partition regarding data currently on the disk i'm trying to install to [06:17] hi, can someone help me close xserver, so that Ican update NVIDIA drivers [06:17] nopix [06:17] kindofabuzz: Is it possible to install client AND server on the same pc? [06:17] XiD, ask away [06:17] dessnr: not sure what you mean [06:17] So that I vnc via my ssh tunnel? [06:17] yea [06:17] ushi:Do you know any other ways? Thats the way I did it originally but I didn't like mucking around in all the files. There must be a program where you can enter a key and it finds the value and assigns an option. one more advanced than the keyboard shortcut thing. [06:17] in 8.04 Ubuntu, hardy, you can right mouse on a file and there is an "encrypt" option. [06:17] How's that done? [06:18] Currently, I have around 100gb used and 100gb free on a hdd that i want to install Ubuntu to. This drive has only one partition, the entire drive, and i want to sep [06:18] ronnyr: install ssh client and server [06:18] you mean vnc client and serveR? [06:18] I'm having problems with Hardy. It's got to do with my truecrypt. Any help? [06:18] server* [06:18] kohlrak that sudo get_apt restricted_extra's what is all that? java? === Lard|arse is now known as Lardarse [06:18] ronnyr: yeah [06:18] anyone, how do I close xserve [06:18] DeltaSlaya: xmodmap? [06:18] OSUKid7: in 8.04 Ubuntu, hardy, you can right mouse on a file and there is an "encrypt" option. [06:18] how do I run commands? I have file index.theme.. what do I do? /index.theme or ? [06:18] irc.freenode.net the drive? [06:18] kind: Which would you recommend? [06:18] WHAT THE FUCK MIRC [06:18] When you clikc install, it should eventually get to the partition editor, and then it'll give you the option to partition the drive. [06:18] Rat: Ok thanks I'll google for that [06:18] No one knows of NFS? [06:18] . [06:19] DeltaSlaya: this is linux, get used to mucking around in the files [06:19] Kohlrak: i appreciate the support, hold on, mirc is being a serious pain in the ass right now [06:19] Lol I know but it didnt work correctly [06:19] hi, I occasionally get a "segmentation fault" error when trying to run Firefox. It's not happening now, but how can I prevent it from happening in the future? [06:19] and I double checked i followed the instructions [06:19] XiD, that's MIRC for you... XD [06:19] !language | XiD` [06:19] XiD`: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [06:19] dessnr: oh... haven't tried that. that's not what I'm asking about at all... I'm trying to use `keychain` to login to my keys once, not each time I need to use them [06:20] Kohlrak: can i safely partition and install ubuntu without risking losing the data currently on the drive? [06:20] XiD`: from what i know about it, it doens't handle connecting to multiple networks very well [06:20] kindofabuzz: ovenvpn? tinc? vpnc? [06:20] Hello. Yesterday I tried to install HH on my laptop. I have had Edgy, Feisty and Gutsy installed on this machine previously. I downloaded and burnt the iso and chose to install. I selected manual so I could set up a / and a /home partition. I filled in a few more details and when it started to format my partitions my screen went blank (not black - blank). I waited but it didn't come back after 30m. I restarted the machine and went throu [06:20] ronnyr: sudo apt-get vnc4server vnc4-common [06:20] Lardarse: this problem is entirely new to me, i've used mirc for years across multiple networks and never had this issue [06:20] XiD`: yes, unless you are resizing a partition [06:20] hi [06:20] Lardarse: i am resizing it, as the current partition is the entire drive and i want to seperate it into two partitions [06:20] anyone knows of a PHP software that will manage events? Kind of like meetup.com, but personal [06:20] there's no garenteed safety of data, but as long as you don't loose power you shouldn't have a problem, XiD [06:21] what do i type to tell if i have java installed? [06:21] Lardarse: unless i have mistaken the definition for resizing 9which may be so) [06:21] ok [06:21] OSUKid7: there are two options to have a look at. preferences > encryption and keys & administration > authorizations.... have a look at those and see if they help you with that. [06:21] !partition | XiD` [06:21] XiD`: Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in !GNOME under !Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For !Edgy and later, see !fstab and !DiskMounter [06:21] and backup everything first [06:21] Ok How do I use that now, kindofabuzz? [06:21] wait [06:21] that's not accurate === ryan_ is now known as Rynoo [06:21] but you do understand resizing correctly [06:21] Lardarse, he's doing it from the install menu i think. [06:21] XiD`: You will have to shrink the one partition you have to make room foor ubuntu partition and swap partition; what is on the drive ? Just data, or also an install of windoze you wish to keep on using ? [06:21] ronnyr: not trying to be rude but google.com [06:21] i am running LiveCD right now [06:21] things to do: defrag the other partition, backup everything you can [06:22] and do you know what file system the partition is? [06:22] Deepthought: raw data i use for windows (which is installed on a seperate drive) [06:22] you shouldn't have to defrag... o.O [06:22] Lardarse: NTFS [06:22] hi, I occasionally get a "segmentation fault" error when trying to run Firefox. It's not happening now, but how can I prevent it from happening in the future? [06:22] Kohlrak: no, but i'm not sure that it ever hurts the process... [06:22] Can someone help me please? I am scared now to try installing HH on my other machines [06:22] Does anyone know of a linux program that you can use to edit keyboard mapping. Especially of non-standard keys? [06:22] is there a xubuntu channel? [06:22] Kohlrak: apparently it helps.. I've never done it tho :) [06:23] aldrick: #xubuntu [06:23] aldrick, yea [06:23] hehe ty! [06:23] kindofabuzz: If I would know the right keywords to search for.. [06:23] XD well, if he's already on teh live cd, it seems a little inconvienient to go and defrag all night then get back on the cd XD [06:23] rowhat are you looking for? [06:23] ronnyr: umm vnc server ubuntu [06:23] XiD`: OK, then there' s no problem in shrinking it; would be best to defragment it first in windoze though; do a total defrag (empty space & files), tat will make resizing sfer and faster. You need say 20 G for ubuntu (plenty room to add stuf) and 1 or 2 gig swap [06:23] oopps [06:23] who was asking about encryption? [06:23] What are the criteria for a hardy-proposed package? [06:23] what matters more is that you shut down windows cleanly.. the installer will NOT even attempt to resize a dirty filesystem [06:23] ronnyr: what are you looking for? [06:23] dessnr: doesn't look like it's in prefs > encryption & keys... and I have no idea what setting to look under in administration > authorizations. one thing I noticed is when I run a command like ssh -N the.host & it responds saying "Enter passphrase for key..." and "Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-with-mic,password)." [06:24] dessnr: and that's after I correctly logged in with `keychain` [06:24] 20G for ubuntu? Are you kidding me? I can last on 5 gigs for a month =p [06:24] Deepthought: so editing the partition to create a new 30gb section + 2 gig swap section is safe enough given i'm well defrag'd? (which i am) [06:24] Wow. I have this horror story and no one even responds. [06:24] OSUKid7: let me have a quick look at authorisations for a min. [06:24] beebeentu: missed it. Go again? [06:24] dessnr: ok, thanks for your help [06:25] Deepthought, Lardarse: i'm being anal about this because i do not have enough spare room to back up everything on my drive. risking data loss is inevitable [06:25] ah sorry about the language again. sailor mouth =x [06:25] hi, I occasionally get a "segmentation fault" error when trying to run Firefox. It's not happening now, but how can I prevent it from happening in the future? [06:25] beebeentu, people generally don't respond unless you ask a question or say something. Just saying you're afraid to install HH doesn't really warrant a response, generally [06:25] zcat[1]: Yesterday I tried to install HH on my laptop. I have had Edgy, Feisty and Gutsy installed on this machine previously. I downloaded and burnt the iso and chose to install. I selected manual so I could set up a / and a /home partition. I filled in a few more details and when it started to format my partitions my screen went blank (not black - blank). I waited but it didn't come back after 30m. I restarted the machine and went thr [06:25] do you even have the 5 gig for linux and the 2 gig for the swap? o.O [06:26] I have absolutely tons of space on this hard drive, 100gb in fact, but my other drives are nearly chock full [06:26] XiD`: Partition resizing isn't very bad provided the partitions being resized are in good order [06:26] dessnr: it's possible that the first time I tried to ssh using this key on hardy, gnome prompted me for my key passphrase and I may have typed it incorrectly... I figured it would ask me again though, but it definitely seems to be ignoring the keychain/ssh-add passphrase [06:26] joetheodd: I did explain in quite a lot of detail [06:26] #list [06:26] XiD`: it's never 100 % safe to shrink with parted, but I've never had any problems on ntfs; like the other guy said, don't loose power ! And DO back up stuff that is really important; else It's not too risky too take the chance (wich is not that grave, really) [06:26] how can I end task ? [06:26] ronnyr: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=122402 very long thread, but make sure you read my posts probly on one of the last few pages, i fixed the original posters errors, but good guide [06:26] beebeentu, the end of your message is missing... unless you ment to end with "and went th" [06:26] XiD`: also, i haev no resizing experience... my only computer that dual boots (this one) has a seperate hard drive for ubuntu [06:26] beebeentu, oh, i must have missed that. Operating in 800x600 cause you b0rked a upgrade to proposed packages does that to you, brb restart :P [06:27] XiD`: yeah, powerloss is your #1 enemy [06:27] hi, I occasionally get a "segmentation fault" error when trying to run Firefox. It's not happening now, but how can I prevent it from happening in the future? [06:27] I launched a game and everything zoomed (game isn't running too ^^) [06:27] JDSBlueDevl: Don't run firefox [06:27] :> [06:27] OSUKid7: yeah there doesn't seem to be anything that will help you in admin > authorisations... But have you had a look at this? http://www.funnestra.org/ubuntu/hardy/#ssh-public-key-authentication [06:27] Lardarse patifa Deepthought: thanks for the help guys, i'm just gonna have to save what i can and hope for the best :> [06:27] Is there any option like task manager ? [06:27] haha, funny [06:27] no, really, is there a fix? [06:27] everytime i use SUDO in the terminal it gives me the error, sudo: unable to resolve host (hostname) [06:28] XiD`: good luck , may the Ubuntu be with you ! [06:28] why is this [06:28] because it just started happening again [06:28] Waffle: I can see my whole message but here is the rest: I restarted the machine and went throught the process again. again the screen went blank. I restarted but the screen didn't come back so I turned it off for a while. When I started it again I got to the install/boot/etc options and it went blank. Now it won't come back even after being left off over night. Does anyone have any ideas? [06:28] JDSBlueDevl: i would suggest posting on the forums === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [06:28] JDSBlueDevl: without knowing what's causing the problem, we can't say when / if /how it might be fixed [06:28] bazzieb: You change your computer name? [06:28] no [06:28] its the one i used when installing 8.04 [06:28] beebeentu: sounds like a hardware problem. Laptops die sometimes, y'know. [06:29] bazzieb: Did you upgrade from 7.10 or ealier? [06:29] dessnr: oh very weird. when I run ssh-add .ssh/my_key, it then lets me ssh to that host correctly/no prompts... yet when running keychain .ssh/that_key, as I did in gutsy, it fails [06:29] XiD`: I never have started win again, even though I' m hooked to the gamez, playing with linux has kept me happy ever since my first installl (by the way, gamez; check out Armagettron !); no regretz .. ! ;-) [06:29] JDSBlueDevl: check here and see if it's a known bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/ [06:29] zcat[1]: well it's pretty bad timing then to happen while installing HH. [06:29] OSUKid7: It even goes on to explain how you can set it up later, so that you only have to type it once. [06:29] Deepthought: Armagettron? :O [06:30] So... I just upgraded to 8.04 LTS. It looks prettier, but it "lost" my video card driver (nVidia 169.12 - 7600GS) and doesn't recognize my monitor (Acer AL2216W). I've configured it in the "crappy graphics mode" when it didn't start up properly. I tried to restore settings from a 7.10 xorg.conf and no dice. Anyone have any ideas? [06:30] OSUKid7: yeah it can get confusing between distributions... [06:30] Deepthought will check it out ;) thanks for the help again [06:30] beebeentu: yeah. But when else does your whole system (drive, cpu, memory) get hammered on for 30+ minutes solid... [06:30] dessnr: right, that's what I had setup with keychain... keychain is nice since it uses ssh-ask-pass to ask you via gnome... but I suppose I'll switch to using ssh-add for now [06:30] patifa i did a fresh install of 8.04 but i kept the name the same [06:30] XiD`: it's a totally cool 3d version of the old game with two lines forming from motor-cycle, don' t run into walls or line from cycle, like in the movie Tron [06:31] XiD`: OLD SCooooollll [06:31] zcat[1]: it might have something to do with scim. But when I try to remove that, it also wants to remove a whole bunch of programs, like F-Spot. How integrated is SCIM? [06:31] haha [06:31] zcat[1]: It only seems as though the screen in blank though. The machine still starts up. There is still harddrive noises, lights etc. [06:31] XiD`: made new ! [06:31] j envy?? [06:31] OSUKid7: it can't hurt. make side notes on some paper to get used to the changes, thats what i tend to do. it embeds the differences between distributions into my mind. [06:31] usp [06:31] bazzieb: Hard to tell.... Basically sudo can be used to administratively access another machine on the netowrk. Something's wrong with the networking setup, so sudo dies when trying to be used. [06:31] Deepthought: Ext3 yes? [06:31] beebeentu: your backlight inverter just died, I think. Connect an external monitor and see what it's doing [06:31] XiD`: you bet ya that's the file-sys you want [06:31] cool let me check some settings [06:32] thank you === arvind_k is now known as arvind_khadri [06:32] What do I need to install so my G1 key doesn't have the same keycode as my F1 key, etc. [06:32] Deepthought: and i create a seperate 2gb "swap" partition for RAM usage? [06:32] bazzieb: Good luck changing them w/o sudo access. [06:32] Deepthought: err, i suppose thats page file usage? [06:32] beebeentu: if you're lucky you can get a replacement cheap on ebay .. if you're not lucky, it generally costs more than a new laptop. [06:32] j try envy [06:32] zcat[1]: I tried that but nothing comes up on it. I tried connecting the montior to another laptop but nothing comes up on it either. I don't really know how to check it another way. [06:32] dessnr: yeah, doesn't really make sense to me why it broke in hardy though... only think I can think is I mistyped my passphrase into that gnome prompt, but it's clearly using the ssh-add list and not keychain, which doesn't make any sense to me [06:33] XiD`: sorta depends on your system memory (RAM), and yes it' s page file. UUnder 1 gig RAM go twice your ram, over stick to 1 or 2 gig (2 is safe, and max) [06:33] OSUKid7: nor i. [06:33] beebeentu: you have a 'fn' key or something? On mine there's a blue FN key and a picture of two screens above one of the numbers.. that switcheds between the lappy screen and external [06:33] zcat[1]: When you connect an external monitor to a laptop, should the image come up straight away or do you generally need to do something else to get an image. [06:33] for amarok, what dist do i choose if i have ubuntu hardy [06:33] dessnr: alright... maybe I'll look into that possible bug more later then. for now I'll just use ssh-add... thanks for your help! [06:34] beebeentu: depends on the laptop. Mine will use an external monitor if it's attached at powerup. Otherwise I have to switch it from the keyboard [06:34] OSUKid7: you're welcome. [06:34] night all, i might be back tomarrow if i have time to help peeps [06:34] darknessinc, What do you mean? Install it through Applications -> Add / Remove [06:34] Deepthought: i'm now having issues with a "Too small size" error when trying to create the new partition. would you mind taking this to a PM? [06:34] darknessinc, you can install from the repos [06:34] zcat[1]: I've got one on F3 that looks like a laptop side on and then a / and a box. I tried that but nothing happened. I tried the same thing on another laptop and got nothing on that either though [06:34] What is the thing I need to install so my G1 key doesn't have the same keycode as my F1 key, etc. [06:34] oh. lol sorry didnt know [06:34] darknessinc, sudo apt-get install amarok === kompi02 is now known as ^fuji^ [06:35] beebeentu: I wouldn't think the ubuntu install caused it though.. except perhaps just having the alptop working hard for a half hour, which is generally not typical useage for a laptop.. [06:35] I still can't get NFS to connect for the life of me [06:35] !bugs [06:35] If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug report at: http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu - Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [06:36] XiD`: to small size ?

Couyld be there's 30 MB available, that happened to me twice, mixing up the numbers and the g's and the m's [06:37] brb.. installing hardy on my laptop.. just going to check it hasn't killed it ;) [06:38] XiD`: also, if you make part in empty space, just go with what it offers, then you know it'll fit [06:38] Deepthought: i see where my problem is now. i have yet to shrink the partition, and i do not know how to do that. where can i shrink it? [06:38] What do I need to install so my G1 key doesn't have the same keycode as my F1 key, etc. [06:38] kindofabuzz: ty [06:38] So... Nobody has any idea how I can get my monitor and video card working again? [06:39] I'm trying to mount an external drive that's having problems, think it might be dead. There's no sign of it when I plug it in. Is there a log file I can check for errors in detecting the drive when I plug it into a USB port? [06:39] kindofabuzz: works. 99%. Will my changes (to make ssh -X and vnc work last after the next server reboot? [06:39] balleyne: dmesg or /var/log/messages [06:39] XiD`: OK, click righ on part you wanna shrink, choose resize/move, move the sliders to where you want' m (some will move, some will not, just try), and the click on APPLY in the menu bar; and go for coffee.. and coffee... and cofffe (or not, it depends) [06:40] zcat: thanks [06:40] Deepthought: and all of this is within the Install wizard partition screen? [06:41] Why is it when I go to YouTube , Meta Cafe I can't hear any of the videos? [06:41] I mean; I tried installing the driver again (as root) in recovery mode from Grub but when I went to telinit 3, it just started X (and I can't install the driver with X running. I'm feeling like a friggin' noob here..... [06:41] Headset check is good [06:41] Streettt: flash plugin not working? [06:41] Streettt: Pulseaudio and flash hate each other... are you in Hardy? [06:41] the videos look great [06:41] so flash is working [06:41] XiD`: ehm, it is if you choose the bottom option, wich is manual if I' m not mistaken; this will start up gparted where you' l fuind graphical representation of yer discs and the possibilities I talked about; I thought you were already in there.. are you ? [06:42] I am on the most udated version of Ubuntu [06:42] 8.04 [06:42] Streettt: It's Pulseaudio that flash doesn't get along with. You can revert to ALSA if you want, which should fix the problem... I've taken the opportunity to try out Gnash, lol === Condoulo is now known as iCondoulo [06:42] Streettt: kill the process for Pulseaudio and restart firefox and sound should work fine again [06:42] Deepthought: yes, i went to the manual option. however, when i right click on the desired partition (the one that encompasses my entire drive)... [06:43] XiD`: no, click on the li ne in the list, not the garphical thing [06:43] Ok..so I go to add/Remove and search for Pulseaudio [06:43] the line [06:43] what is used for downloading on linux limewire or torrents? [06:43] Streettt: System -> Preferences -> Sound, and change everything to ALSA. That should fix flash... though I'm not quite satisfied with that myself, I'd prefer to find a way to get it to work properly in PulseAudio (which is the default in Ubuntu 8.04) [06:43] Deepthought: i only get the option to Edit it or Delete it [06:43] XiD`: hm.. [06:43] ok doing now [06:44] XiD`: lemme think... [06:44] haha nice nick Deepthought [06:44] Streettt: I'm not sure if there's anything you'll need to restart... at the very least, try restarting Firefox... [06:44] cognatus: 42 ! [06:44] i need a player that will not lock up on me. gxine and movie player and mplayer lock up on me so does vlc. [06:44] good old base13 [06:44] I am on my headset.. [06:45] on a much more somber note, however... [06:45] kindofabuzz: Didn't work. Still getting a permission denied error. [06:45] What out of "g15composer, libg15, libg15render and g15daemon" do I need if all I want to do are use the G keys, as I have a G11 not a G15? Cheers! [06:45] Is there a truly open-source streaming server protocol (and implementation) available (like DAAP)? [06:45] running dell latitude CSx H500XT (500Mhz Proc, 128MB RAM).. would like to run ubuntu, tryed xubuntu and still ran too slow.. any segjustions? [06:45] I suspect my video drivers are causing my system to hard lock in wine, but I'm not positive. How can I verify if the drivers are buggy? [06:45] ok, got an unrelated problem. I can't get scrolling bars in some of my windows, like the terminal window. How do I get them working? [06:45] DeltaSlaya: was someone helping you with G15 logitech keyboard? [06:46] My desktop is GNOME [06:46] No, not really. [06:46] XiD`: Could it be you already made that shrink but didn' t do APPLY ? Cause that's how gparted works, you make your changes, but they don' t get done until you nAPPLY. Is the APPLY symbol green and clickable ? if so do it, see what the list sez and if you agree, the either ok or cancel [06:46] my hardy heron just up and reboot on me. no BSOD/kernel panic, no nothing. it happened immediately when I clicked on a firefox tab that i had, just previously, opened in the background. the title was "ubuntu - gutsy"... does anyone know of this happening? CAN this happen!?!?! [06:46] i need a player that will not lock up on me. gxine and movie player and mplayer lock up on me so does vlc. can someone help me on why my .avi files lock up on me when i try to play them? [06:46] tinytimmytoes: Grab an alternate CD (any alternate CD), install a gui-less box, then install some lightweight WM in it (fluxbox, ratpoison, blackbox, whatever) [06:46] hey guys, im trying to install NVIDIA drivers and it says Extraction Failed, Signal caught, cleaning up [06:46] wat does that mean [06:47] lol I don't know if Ubuntu BSODs. [06:47] hello? [06:47] Can anyone at all help me with my NFS problem? I've been trying to get it to work for hours now [06:47] i know, i mean there was no error message [06:47] hey guys, im trying to install NVIDIA drivers and it says Extraction Failed, Signal caught, cleaning up [06:47] Deepthought: i have not run the program "gparted" that you are discussing. is this built into the Installer system itself, or do i have to run gparted manually, [06:47] sensae: try editing /etc/hosts on the server, and add your cleint ip address and hostname [06:47] it just rebooted like it might if one were to wire a usb port incorrectly [06:47] Deepthought: shrink it, and THEN use the installer wizard? [06:47] I suspect my video drivers are causing my system to hard lock in wine, but I'm not positive. How can I verify if the drivers are buggy? [06:47] PEDIK, how are you trying to install the drivers? [06:47] Streettt: (trying to rephrase this more concisely) From what I've been able to gather, the flashplugin-nonfree (with Pulseaudio) will (a) lock up all the sound in the system if nothing else is using sound, or (b) produce no sound if the sound card is already in use... I've found this doesn't happen when using ALSA, but I'm not sure what needs to be reset (if anything) after changing the settings... and more imp [06:47] ortantly, I've no idea how to get it working with Pulse [06:47] isn't gparted the partition editor that the installer uses? [06:48] cognatus my firefox icon was wiggin out to, I reset gnome-panel by cleaning out my old /home/starcannon stuff rebooted and reset up things, and all is well, something about the way things were set up in gutsy didn't jive well with hardy i guess [06:48] XiD`: yes, it's in the installer, it gets started when you choose manual partition [06:48] ok, got an unrelated problem. I can't get scrolling bars in some of my windows in GNOME, like the terminal window. How do I get them working? [06:48] kindofabuzz: nope [06:48] but i had never installed gutsy [06:48] Deepthought: i understand where our confusing is stemming from, then. GParted has not started until now, when i just manually ran it from System>Admin [06:48] cognatus oh, i-dunno-then doh [06:48] sensae: you'll have to reboot for it to read the host again i think. maybe not [06:48] XiD`: don't quite get yer last remark; you are already in the install wizard ? [06:48] !partition | XiD` [06:48] XiD`: Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in !GNOME under !Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For !Edgy and later, see !fstab and !DiskMounter [06:49] !GParted | XiD` [06:49] XiD`: GParted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted-livecd.tuxfamily.org/ [06:49] I'm having an issue VPNing into my windows machine, does anyone have any experience with this? [06:49] artificial:I have some but not a ton [06:49] :) [06:49] Deepthought: when i ran the installer, GParted did not correctly run. I am now in Gparted and using the sliders as you explained before. its all becoming clear now [06:49] XiD`: Oooohhh, wait, you'r not yet installing, you' re still using the live-system (ie you booted the disk and ended up in Ubuntu and palying around with it now ) ? [06:50] hello everyone [06:50] Deepthought: yes, lol, sorry if i did not make this clear [06:50] hi akatsuki [06:50] Nope no go.. [06:50] XiD`, you wouldn't happen to have any raid wouldja? [06:50] XiD`: well, at least you still have a handle on your situation [06:50] cognatus: my computer supports raid, but i am not using it (none of my HDDs are in raid format)...in fact, i don't even have the drivers instaleld [06:51] Basically my pptp VPN is telling me that there is a connection error, but I have no idea what the error is! [06:51] cognatus: Oh, yeah, drive the noob up the wallz... ;-) [06:51] kindofabuzz: I restarted, still no dice [06:51] XiD`, did you suggest you could help me with G11? [06:51] I having infinite pain trying to make emerald work.. i download the repositories.. i even active the non-gpl'd ones.. and when i select a theme does not appear [06:51] i dont know what is going on [06:51] When you select the gateway for the VPN, do I put in the local address of my windows machine, or something different? [06:51] DeltaSlaya: i was hoping you were getting G15 support and was going to hop on that bandwagon, sorry :) [06:51] Test from Sound Capture is coming up silent [06:51] akatsuki: alt-F2 and type 'emerald --replace' [06:51] ooi [06:51] kindofabuzz: I'm doing a showmount -e (server) on the client, and it shows the damn share and the client's IP address [06:51] XiD`: Oh ok, no worries. [06:51] All others read USB Audio [06:52] artificial: try putting in the local network IP for the windows machine [06:52] Who knows anything about the following and what each does? g15composer, libg15, libg15render and g15daemon [06:52] What is the criteria for a proposed package? [06:52] Default Mixer Tracks Reads: Logitech Alsa Mixer [06:52] sensae: go over that guide again, that's the one i followed, and remember, google is our what class?

[06:53] i need a player that will not lock up on me. gxine and movie player and mplayer lock up on me so does vlc. can someone help me on why my .avi files lock up on me when i try to play them? [06:53] ahh yep yep partitioning is actually quite fun once you get the hang of it [06:53] !libG15 [06:53] Factoid libg15 not found [06:53] hey is ndiswrapper in the repos? [06:53] !g15composer [06:53] Factoid g15composer not found [06:53] all: how do I open the event log viewer? [06:53] !g15daemon [06:53] Factoid g15daemon not found [06:53] cognatus: system log? [06:54] akatsuki are your video drivers working? when you type "glxinfo | grep render" what is the output? I also think you have to have at least normal visual effects enabled (requires compositing desktop if I member' right) I've noticed emerald won't keep my settings, so i'm just leaving it alone for now myself [06:54] doug, this may help with identifying why all these players lock up on you [06:54] Streettt: killall pulseaudio ? If you go a `ps -e | grep pulse` does it show it still running? [06:54] if installing ubuntu 8.04 in wubi, will the windows firewall have any effect on ubuntu? [06:54] mhm [06:54] kindofabuzz: I followed that guide to a T [06:54] Vladimir32tl: none [06:54] FYI i found that site that's making heron reboot [06:54] Streettt:kill the pulseaudio process and restart firefox. you should have your sound back after that [06:55] it's producing segfaults for some reason [06:55] XiD`: gooood; the from there on it should be no problem; just start install from the desktop an go through the motions; if you have made room onthe disc you could do autamtic prtitioning to make stuff easy, or choose manual and ed up in gparted again, wich has no more secrets for you now... remember, make a / partition and a swap of 2 gig [06:55] starcannon this appears: direct rendering: No (If you want to find out why, try setting LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose) [06:55] OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect [06:55] Lead me through the steps..

[06:55] Vladimir32tl: Your bittorrent client will do it. [06:55] cognatus: when i use dif players i find one i have not used it works but the min i close it same thing as the rest. [06:55] Streettt: yes [06:55] Streettt: system->admin->system moniter [06:56] Deepthought, cognatus: thank you for your help =) seems to be going well now [06:56] try running one of those media players with System -> Administration -> System Log [06:56] XiD`: be sure when you choose auto you don' t wipe out Billy Redmond... ;-) [06:56] sensae: mess around with the mount options, here the man page for the mount command http://www.linuxmanpages.com/man8/mount.8.php [06:56] anytime XiD` [06:56] cognatus: how do i do that? [06:56] Streettt: well, either, lol. In the terminal you can run `killall pulseaudio`, or you can use the gnome-system-monitor to do it in a GUI [06:56] XiD`: better go manual [06:56] Deepthought: good call [06:56] hi [06:56] because if ALL media players have the same kind of problem it might be something more fundamental than a software issue (in fact probably IS) [06:56] Flannel: you've been a big help, but if you could answer 1 more question: can ubuntu 8.04 read/write to ntfs, and will it see my xp files? [06:56] Ok.. I am in System Monitor [06:56] is anyone here brave enough to try the ubuntu-rebooting web site of doom???

When trying to install index.theme - cursor theme I get this [07:04] No default application found for the mime-type application/x-theme. [07:04] Open the "File types and programs" page in the Control Center to add one. [07:04] cognatus: yes [07:04] I can't get my scrollbars to appear in GNOME. The forums don't have anything really, and when I tried to switch themes, it still didn't work. How do I fix it? [07:04] brent found it nevermind [07:04] XiD`: use xchat [07:04] !el torito [07:04] Factoid el torito not found [07:04] Nope [07:04] kindofabuzz: Doesn't work with restarting [07:05] ApOgEE- i've heard some bad things about xchat =\ [07:05] right [07:05] JDSBlueDevl, do u have compiz on? [07:05] 2) did you try the hardware test during install? [07:05] yes [07:05] 2.1) did it produce sound? [07:05] XiD`: what's that bad things? [07:05] cognatus: yes everything worked out fine. [07:05] JDSBlueDevl, try turning it off, as it has been know to mess up window sizes [07:05] nice obuttu [07:05] thanks [07:05] Strettt: dunno then [07:05] XiD`, huh? XChat really whips the llama's ass [07:05] hey fellas [07:05] JSDbledevl: do u have dektop effects / compiz turned on? if so try turning that off first. [07:05] im downloading now the restricted drivers:D [07:05] thanks [07:05] ApOgEE- i can't list them off as i don't know specifics, but i have multiple friends that have tried it and tell me they don't like it. [07:05] just did, still doesn't appear in Metacity [07:05] cognatus: quoting winamp, eh? [07:05] cognatus hey no idea, just going off word of mouth here @_@ [07:06] cognatus: im under sound prefrences i hit test and i hear nothing [07:06] *whistles* [07:06] XiD`: I use pidgin in gnome, kopete in kde; kopete is prettier and better configurable, pidgin easier to use, xchat is a dedicated irc client, maybe best if you don' t wanna keep track on other protocols (like msn); I just like everything in one app, so kopete takes care of all contact since I use kde most [07:06] Sound Playback : USB Audio Test Good [07:06] u know, akatsuki ubottu is a bot [07:06] XiD`: maybe you can try irsii [07:06] oh [07:06] lol [07:06] Music & Movies USB Audio Test Good [07:06] sorry [07:06] Is there an Amarok channel? [07:06] anyway [07:06] thanks bot [07:06] imao [07:06] akatsuki: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:06] any other idea, kindofabuzu? [07:06] ronnyr: do vncserver -kill : then vncserver : [07:06] XiD`: xchat needs install, pidgin is included in ubuntu, kopete in kubuntu [07:06] Audio Conferencing Test Good USB Audio [07:06] Is there any reason why surfing the web under ubuntu (as well as downloading) is MUCH slower than on windows? [07:06] would anyone be willing to help me with a problem in ubuntu? [07:06] ronnyr: on the server of course [07:07] Deepthought: i'm very familiar with Pidgin as i also use it on Windows, and I prefer a standalone client for irc (such as mIRC) [07:07] Sound Capture Test: No Good [07:07] hi, do you know how to use built-in camera in laptop?? [07:07] helix: windows has better wireless card drivers [07:07] inker, which laptop do u have> [07:07] If it is the Sound Capture what does it sound like to you? [07:07] help please with this.. When trying to install index.theme - cursor theme I get this [07:07] doug try unplugging all your audio equipment (headphones, speakers, everything) [07:07] No default application found for the mime-type application/x-theme. [07:07] Open the "File types and programs" page in the Control Center to add one. [07:08] XiD`: well, in pidgin irc works fine, but to separate it from the rest xchat would be a good bety, or the other one suggested, I don' t know that one, just checking it out right now [07:08] Brent^, my wireless connects very well. And it used to work very well on gutsy too. Plus, on wired i have the same issue. [07:08] tested Sound : Good [07:08] Deepthought: roger, i'll give xchat and irsii a try [07:08] i'm running gutsy on a lenovo t61 laptop and a pc i built myself.... is there *ANY REASON* to switch to hardy if i'm happy with gutsy? anyway to find out if there'd be problems with upgrading to hardy on my mchines? [07:08] Deepthought: or god forbid write my own :O [07:08] cognatus: i fixed it. [07:08] then plug your headphones into the **GREEN** plug in the **BACK** of your computer [07:08] doug, O [07:08] what did you do? [07:08] ronnyr: does your server have a monitor and stuff? [07:09] XiD`: xchat you' ll find after install if you choose add/remove programs (or synaptic if it's not in there) and do search for it [07:09] nvidia audio drivers missing? [07:09] helix: windows just has better overall drivers. Because companies are *removed* and dont release all the information we need to make good drivers for Ubuntu] [07:09] cognatus: i was under sound prefrences i changed the output to alc883 analog. [07:09] arooni : if you happy with your Gutsy there is no reason to upgrade [07:09] XiD`: synaptic is in system menu [07:09] Hi a little question [07:09] zvacet, doesnt gutsy stop being supported @ some point? if so when? [07:09] kind: nope. [07:09] I am trying to do a local repo but I got this error [07:09] ;) [07:09] BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 [07:10] arooni : April 2009 [07:10] the link for RealPlayer 10 *.deb is dead. what else can i try? [07:10] arooni: 18 months from when it was released (on desktop) [07:10] XiD`: is the packet manager (like software in windoze, but with diffrence it has a list of goodies to get right NOW ! [07:10] Deepthought: ok, sounds good. time to reboot into real ubuntu. hooray! =) [07:10] zvacet, arooni there are many many reasons why u wud want to upgrade.. look here -->http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/804 [07:10] XiD`: good luck [07:10] I already do a uptate and upgrade bur no fixes [07:10] the link on this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html#id2542844 [07:10] am i better off waiting until a follow on hardy release? [07:10] I am using Hardy [07:10]  Have an old dell laptop- running 500Mhz Proc, with 128MB ram -- tried Damn Small Linux, not a big fan of the GUI.. Tried Xubuntu.. Couldn't get it to finish loading.. any ideas? I'm (probably quite obviously) a linux noob.. but i'm trying.. any idea where i might be able to get my hands on an old version of UBUNTU for download? Prefer GNOME type interface.. [07:11] does source-o-matic still exist, or where can I find repositories for gutsy. I used "find the best" in synaptic and now my sources.list points to a non-existent site. [07:11] kindofabuzz: Hmm, What do I have to specify? vncserver -kill :1 doesn't work, it says i will have to kill xrealvnc manualy [07:11] please help I am doing this for other people who need the repo [07:11] Hello all [07:11] arooni: Well, you can only upgrade one at a time, but you can always wait to upgrade to hardy. Hardy is beneficial since it is an LTS, so you'll probably want to upgrade eventually. But you've got time to decide [07:11] Flannel, how long does LTS last? [07:12] 3 years on the desktop [07:12] :( [07:12] wow [07:12] tinytimmytoes: you can get Xubuntu running on low RAM like that by installing from the alternate CD then sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop I had the same problem [07:12] arooni: 3 years desktop 5 server [07:12] im back and emerald still not working for me [07:12] !lts | aroo_ [07:12] aroo_: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. [07:12] arooni: 3 years desktop, and you'll beable to upgrade straight to 10.04 when it comes out (LTS to LTS) [07:12] im pretty sure my card is not the problem [07:12] Does anyone think the compiz cube is abit overrated? [07:12] akatsuki, what gives? [07:12] if i have 2GB ram, intel core 2 duo @ 2Ghz, asus mobo, ide drives, etc.... should everything work fine after an upgrade [07:13] if it works on gutsy [07:13] ronnyr: do you have phsical acces to the server? [07:13] Hey Brent [07:13] cognatus: why does that make a dif? [07:13] physical* [07:13] Brent^: what kind of alt. CD? any seg? [07:13] cyber-geisha: its not that great but its awesome for showing off [07:13] Flannel, can you upgrade from gutsy to hardy + 1 [07:13] cyber-geisha, no. it *can* help u become productive [07:13] and Balleyne [07:13] i even install the restricted drivers for nvidia [07:13] or do you have to first upgrade to hardy, then to +1 [07:13] tinytimmytoes: on the ubuntu home page you can also get older versions in the download section; still xubuntu should go fine; maybe you should try xubuntu alternate install, it has text-install wich needs less resources, worth a try; your sys sounds right for a normnal xubuntu [07:13] I thought so to [07:13] arooni: You'd have to go Gutsy to Hardy to Intrepid [07:13] tinytimmytoes: hold on I'll link you the 1 I used [07:13] wait... ok maybe i know whta is the problem... [07:13] does emerald needs COMPIZ? [07:13] kind: works [07:13] akatsuki I thought you have an ati card? [07:14] Streettt: it's working now? [07:14] I got the cube running right now and i took a step back i just dont see anything usefull with it [07:14] kind: Last question: How can I switch the window manager that is loaded when i connect via vnc? [07:14] !who | akatsuki [07:14] akatsuki: 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 :) [07:14] no I have an nvidia card i told you i was wrong [07:14] i confuse it with my macbook pro lol [07:14] cyber-geisha: just one of the many ways to switch to another desktop [07:14] akatsuki ah ha ah ah I an help you my friend [07:14] doug, because some mobos have a feature where when you plug headphones into the front-panel audio it mutes the rest of the onboard audio [07:14] thanks [07:14] akatsuki, u said u realized something.. is your problem solved? [07:14] that maybe what was causing problems [07:14] permanewb : http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Gutsy#How_to_add_extra_repositories [07:15] Well see you all later thanks for the responces [07:15] i realized that maybe is because i lack of compiz software [07:15] does emerald needs compiz? [07:15] tinytimmytoes: whichever goes with your system proccessor [07:15] cause i desinstall some stuff of compiz before that i didnt need [07:15] akatsuki: yes, emerald is a decorator for compiz [07:15] Nope [07:15] !emerald | akatsuki [07:15] Factoid emerald not found [07:15] for example some RealTek audio drivers in windows have a feature that when you plug anything into any audio plug it auto-pops open a window asking you to configure surround sound/mic boost, that kind of thing [07:15] tinytimmytoes: http://torrent.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/hardy/release/alternate/ whoops forgot the link [07:15] how do i upgrade if i dont see the cool orange thing [07:15] cognatus: ah ok well thank you for taking the time and helping me with this. [07:15] at top right [07:15] no problem man [07:16] also; while upgrading can i be watching a dvd and on the interewebs [07:16] i will install everything that mention compiz on the synaptic manager [07:16] and lets see what happen [07:16] if not.. then is my card i guess [07:16] Deepthrought: is alt install on normal xubuntu cd? if so.. what is its title? Safe Graphics Mode - OEM install? [07:16] akatsuki, only ccsm! [07:16] what is ccsm? [07:17] akatsuki, compiz config settings manager [07:17] search ccsm :P [07:17] Thanks for tying to assist Balleyne [07:17] akatsuki here use this guide i posted up to pastebin http://pastebin.com/d4153556a don't skip any steps (yeah even if you done them previously just follow the guide) I have serveral nvidia cards of various models it works on all of them [07:17] you to Brent [07:17] akatsuki, add it from the Add/Remove Apps menue [07:17] your welcome [07:17] how do i start upgrade process from gutsy => hardy? can i be browsing the interwebs while upgrading? watching a dvd movie? [07:17] hope you got it working [07:17] zvacet: thanks but that points to source-o-matic as the place to find new respositories, which appears to be offline.

I just remember someone saying thats how you do it yesterday [07:19] starcannon my nvidia drivers are working now cause i fallow some steps and install a restricted drivers [07:19] oh damnit hang on lemme try to remember how to do this cl, it's a conf we need to mess with [07:19] What does Sound Juicer do?

[07:55] XiD`, do you know that the master boot record might need to be changed [07:55] thats all the proff i need [07:55] drivetrax: the windows recovery console command - will this update my windows boot manager to include the Ubuntu partition? [07:55] nic?? [07:55] never before my laptop got this hot in a short time [07:55] XiD`, boot into the recovery console using your windows disk.. and in the prompt type "fixmbr" [07:55] nvidia geforce go 6150 [07:55] what will this do drivetrax? [07:55] fix the C:\ drive MBR [07:55] Forgive me but I am new, how do you delete a dir that is not empty on ubuntu server [07:55] Pup You There? [07:56] XiD`, you seem to have affected the MBR of C:\ [07:56] drivetrax: currently the boot system can get me into windows, but not ubuntu. in other words, i'm afraid to use that command as it may screw me out of windows [07:56] Streett, I'm here. It says "flash" in the left window? [07:56] XiD`, -- wait [07:56] XiD`, How did you install ubuntu [07:56] vagothcpp: rm -rf dir [07:56] XiD`, what version [07:57] ty [07:57] drivetrax: before installation, i have windows xp pro x64 edition on my computer. i used LiveCD boot of Ubuntu 8.04 to install via LiveCD method (while in the LiveCD environment) [07:57] answer guy.. unfortunately I need "sudo" to mount it... and sudo is what got deleted somehow... I think it was a bad update.. [07:57] yes [07:57] answerguy the above was to you sorry [07:57] waldo: reboot to the recovery console (at GRUB) [07:58] XiD`, can you get a terminal on the sdb drive.. ubuntu? [07:58] waldo: can you use synaptic? [07:58] brent^ nope... [07:58] When trying to copy one file to another in the terminal it is telling me that the file isnt correct,yet I am copying the source file and the destination file exact,can someone help please? Im new to linux so im sure it is something quite simple that im overseeing :) [07:58] waldo, I doubt that sudo got deleted, try "/usr/bin/sudo" [07:58] OK, the square next to "flash-plugin-nonfree" should be darkened. Click that box, then "mark for complete removal" [07:58] Jordan it DID [07:58] drivetrax: the only way i can access anything ubuntu right now is by using another livecd boot. [07:58] k [07:58] XiD`, -- yes, boot it up [07:58] then how do we reinstall? [07:58] waldo: would it work if I sent you my sudo? [07:58] drivetrax: just to clarify, it should be noted windows is installed on a seperate physical hard drive then ubuntu [07:58] jordan there was an update last night of "sudo" i saw it update. Then a reboot today and now the desktop doesn't come up and /usr/bin/sudo is gone [07:59] waldo: did you set a root password? If so just use su - [07:59] XiD`, -- yes [07:59] then click "Apply" at the top. We'll reinstall in a moment. Do that first. [07:59] answerguy nope no root pw [07:59] waldo, What is the output of "apt-cache policy sudo" ? [07:59] If not then I suppose it's a trip through reboot off a rescue disc land. [07:59] waldo, Please use pastebin BTW [07:59] waldo: would sending you my sudo directory work? [07:59] drivetrax: i am worried you are going to take me thru something i've already tried. can you wait a moment for me to find you a link as to what i'm referring to? [08:00] am i the only one that Google is letting down? I get RTO-ed by their server [08:00] brent^ might but I might be able to get it off the livecd too... Im chatting to you from a mac so i'd have to figure how to get it on that machine anyway... [08:00] XiD`, -- sure.. || Whats happening here is grub, the boot loader, is looking for your linux partition to load some files it needs, but its unable to find said files. [08:00] hey, im tryin to install nvidia drivers and I get an extraction error [08:00] Well, if you search Google on "lost root password" and "linux" then you should find detailed articles on how to boot the machine, mount your rootfs, chroot into that, and set/reset your rootpw [08:00] waldo: oh okay [08:00] jordan_u-- problem with mergelist [08:00] How do you unmount? [08:00] jordan_u can't really copy/paste very easily [08:00] I click on it it turns Orange [08:01] Cannot remove [08:01] AnswerGuy, waldo, you don't need to deal with a "lost" root password, there is no root password. Reboot to the recovery console. [08:01] left click does nothing like right click [08:01] flannel how do I do that? [08:01] waldo: at GRUB, select the recovery console options. [08:01] flannel let me try it [08:01] Flannel I presume that's similar to booting with init=/bin/sh [08:02] Pup you there? [08:02] Streett, when you click "Apply" at the top it says it cannot remove it? [08:02] AnswerGuy: Its single user mode [08:02] The approach I mentioned will work with any Linux distro since time imemorial. [08:02] Street, if I'm gone a couple of seconds I'm looking at something. I'll be back. [08:02] drivetrax: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows || i have used the first method to no avail in this documentation. when i set my windows HDD to boot primary, windows still works fine, yet i still error22 when i change my primary HDD to the ubuntu drive. [08:02] Apply is NOT even being Highlighted [08:03] If I Left Click Or Right Click [08:03] flannel booting in recovery mode-- is this basically boot? [08:03] But it's nice that Ubunut offers an easier way. [08:03] I mean root [08:03] waldo, I would boot into recovery mode and "sudo apt-get install sudo" and if that doesn't do it try "sudo dpkg-reconfigure sudo" [08:03] anyone have experience with running Citrix Web Client on Ubuntu 7.10? [08:03] waldo: yes, you will be root. [08:03] Jordan_U, waldo, when in the recovery console, you don't use sudo. [08:03] can someone help me to install the amsn plugins please? [08:03] waldo, Forget the sudo, I'm just tired :) [08:03] jordan_u i can't do that without sudo [08:03] IAbove Flash-Plugin-Nonfree is ALL [08:03] Odd, try "mark for reinstallation" instead. [08:03] waldo: you don't need sudo in recovery console [08:04] hi there... I have a small problem. The sound on my ubuntu (Sigmatel Stac soundcard, integrated) is really low compared to MS Windows. I've cranked the sound up to max, but it's still too low. Is there a way to increase the volume further?

[08:06] :) [08:06] has the sound worked in Youtube, etc before? [08:06] drivetrax: when i originally booted into LiveCD ubuntu, i used GPartition to create a free space partition on my second drive. i then used the install wizard (within livecd) to create a new partition from the free space: a large 30gb section for the OS itself (ext3) and a 2gb section for swap. [08:06] It is the Sound that is giving me a problem [08:06] <|ns|nR8> no worries, we all do it sometimes [08:06] No [08:06] Works through the various players in Apps [08:06] a couple more questions.

[08:16] lets do it.. [08:16] Apps? [08:16] System? [08:16] drivetrax: should i be doing this within windows or Ubuntu livecd? [08:16] I am following you [08:16] chainload ubuntu, and make the dualbooting [08:16] helo [08:16] Brent, we tried it through Synaptic but it didn't work. [08:17] guys any idea wine to share installation to multiple users [08:17] chainload? [08:17] XiD`, it would be good to actually use all of the second drive for linux [08:17] How do I set gmplayer to be the default for video file types? [08:18] drivetrax unfortunately thats not an option for me, i have ~50gb of files on the second drive that i do not have other storage for [08:18] Just setting it in nautilus doesn't change the mime association. [08:18] Is there a simple way in a bash script to check if a value exists in that array [08:18] XiD`, -- if you did that, you could net-install with Unetbootin, use Wubi, or Unetbootin with the ISO from the liveCD [08:18] drivetrax - if only Wubi had worked for me. unfortunately it did not =\ [08:18] Unetbootin will resize that drive for you too, XiD` [08:19] drivetrax so you are telling me i have to do the partition resize, install, etc all over again? [08:19] Streett: I know on windows I would suggest downloading K-lite Codec Pack but I don't know if such a thing exists on Ubuntu... [08:19] XiD`, no.. you are like.. half-way there, if you marked the drive to be bootable.. the first time [08:20] ce bu cnt [08:20] what is command to find out ip? [08:20] Street and Brent - Flash SHOULD work out of the box once it's installed. I didn't need any other codecs. [08:20] ok [08:20] How about Debian? [08:20] drivetrax i'm still unclear as to where i went wrong for not labeling the drive bootable. i installed it via the wizard, and immediately after install it rebooted and told me to remove the livecd. now i can't get into it, so i don't know how i'm going to edit it to be bootable [08:20] what would be the command to list all the directories within a certian directory? [08:20] possibly the w32 codecs pack from medibuntu repository? [08:21] XiD`, the cd has Grub [08:21] What would be the reverse of "sudo apt-get build-dep " ? === soldats_ is now known as soldats [08:21] XiD`, look at this..

I'm thinking out loud. [08:21] lol [08:22] :) [08:22] ;-) [08:22] Well, typing out loud, or something.... [08:22] What command do I execute in Console to find out my IP? [08:22] XiD`, -- if you had a formatted drive.. that was made with windows, and parted only part of it (resized) the drive, the MBR is messed up [08:22] now [08:23] hey, how do I kill a program? The add/remove application has froze up on me for 10 min [08:23] Streett: I have no idea what this command does but it's been a proposed solution to your problem "ln -s /tmp/.esd-1000 /tmp/.esd" [08:23] hey, how do I kill a program? The add/remove application has froze up on me for 10 min [08:23] ln = link? [08:23] XiD`, -- do not worry now - if the new partition is bootable or not.. because in the end, if you have to repartition the space on drive2.. again, you can make a bootable drive in that partition.. [08:23] yaYibal: run terminal and type killall proccesname [08:24] yaYibalTvayooMat: try xkill [08:24] how do I know the process name?? [08:24] esd-1000 is a bluetooth reference, isn't it? [08:25] hi there [08:26] dunno, I just googled his problem and some people reported that as a solution. Others reported installing flash directly from macormedia fixed it too [08:26] i cant get virtualbox to work, any one here who has it running on hardy?

[08:29] XiD`, I am surely thinking ubuntu is there, but the mbr is messed up.. [08:29] yes [08:29] looks like a codec problem [08:30] or feels like it [08:30] XiD`, well.. You might be able to write the file FOR the mbr without one [08:30] Copy the first line that is in the code box and paste it into a terminal. When that's done do the same for the second line.

[09:12] like search as you type for members of classes [09:13] you might install fedora.. to backup.. and unmount those drives in raid.. and save them.. then wipe'em [09:13] undernet [09:14] N1N31NCHN41L5: do you have a usb drive plugged in [09:14] ikonia: i went into grub and treated it like any other os and get this error: unable to resolve uuid fsck died with exit 8 status - but if i type reboot it loads all the way into ubuntu [09:14] no [09:14] drivetrax, i may [09:15] clusty: eclipse [09:15] drivetrax, if i can't get dmraid working [09:15] ubuntu detects the DRIVES [09:15] just not the RAID [09:15] cognatus: thats correct [09:15] ubuntu must get bootstrapped. [09:15] ikonia: when it does load it says its low graphics mode [09:15] ikonia, alright well how do I go about checking which is the most appropriate driver and how do I go about installing them? (I am running the latest release of Ubuntu, 8.04 I believe) [09:15] onto the raid0 [09:15] wow! just upgraded to hardy! that was easy! question: i have a nvidia geforce 7300 ... it says i'm using a restricted driver... is that OK? should i dos omething else? [09:15] N1N31NCHN41L5: I wouldn't worry about the graphics at this time [09:15] no, i boot off of a PATA drive [09:15] ergh.. or other drive in the Raid tower [09:16] even i'm not crazy enough to boot off of a raid partition [09:16] tehxed: your using an ATI video card as I read, is that right ? [09:16] cognatus: because you can't..... [09:16] nope they look fine its the reboot mid load after uuid failure i ned to work around [09:16] Can someone help me figure out why my whole library is not in Sonata? [09:16] the pci card has instructs on how to do it [09:16] cognatus: linux cannot boot from a raid0 boot partition [09:16] ikonia, Yes. an ATI Radeon Xpress200M. [09:17] tehxed: have you configured/selected the driver suggested by the restricted driver manager [09:17] Dmraid is currently not integrated into the Debian installer or the Ubuntu Live-CD installer. Therefore, one cannot directly install Ubuntu onto such RAID arrays. Previously, one had to install Ubuntu on to a separate partition and then debootstrap Ubuntu. However the Dapper Live-CD can be used to easily install Ubuntu Dapper onto such RAID arrays. [09:17] ikonia, just tried it. besides being unbearably hard to use it wont complete syntax [09:17] clusty: non-others spring to mind [09:17] ikonia, Yes. When I updated to 8.04, it said to download and install some suggested drivers and I did so. [09:18] http://pastebin.com/d5d5e7120 check highlighted lines at the bottom [09:18] wow just upgraded to hardy [09:18] yay! [09:18] are there any cool new features i should know about? [09:18] omg [09:18] i dunno if it can or can't, i'm just saying what the COMTAC and/or VIA readme says [09:18] by the way.. before I chose Ubuntu.. I asked myself if I needed a Rair set-up.. and looked into "if" ubuntu would work a raid system [09:18] arooni-mobile: you've already said that 2 times [09:18] Rair/Raid [09:19] arooni-mobile: please stop repeating it, this is a busy support channel [09:19] ikonia, i'm pretty exciterd [09:19] I'm trying to upgrade to hardy, but im getting errors; http://pastebin.com/m6a6ce1c6 [09:20] tehxed: what you need to do is look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log and scroll down to approx %40 of the file where you will see the drivers being loaded, your looking for "ati" or "frglx" in that log [09:20] does hardy have support for READING ntfs partitions built-in already or do i need to install that manually? [09:20] do i need nvidia-glx or nvidia-glx-legacy for my FX5200? [09:21] ikonia: i pasted my grub here - i think my error in moad is from it - only one i have any problem with is ubuntu www.pastebin.ca/1011506 [09:21] ceil420: that sounds like legacy to me [09:21] ikonia, is there a list somewhere? [09:21] !nvidia [09:21] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [09:21] ikonia, where exactly in the file should I be looking? 40% down there are a lot of ..lines. [09:21] trying to uninstall grub so I can boot back into windows (grub won't work), any idea how? (no windows startup disc either) [09:22] who is ubuntulog? [09:22] tehxed: the lines differ for everyones system so I cant give you an exact line [09:22] MrBogus: a log bot [09:22] i like compiz and all.... but just running eclipse xchat firefox and nothing else i'm seeing: top - 01:22:17 up 10 min, 2 users, load average: 1.06, 1.63, 1.06 (core 2 duo @ 2ghz, 2GB of RAM) [09:22] ikonia, I see GLX if that helps? [09:22] should i care about load > 1? [09:22] tehxed: no, I've told you the lines you need to look for [09:22] does ubuntu 8.04 come with support for reading ntfs partitions? [09:23] why did i only got a console teminal when i installed ubuntu? [09:23] cognatus: read support has been around since 6.06, write support since 7.10 [09:23] arooni-mobile: no [09:23] bah, no help here :( [09:23] ikonia, I see fglrx a lot. [09:23] yes but do i need to do anything to install it or is it prebuilt? [09:23] ikonia, really? doesnt it mean there are too many things going on? [09:23] tau: you need to overwrite grub with a windows boot sector [09:24] cognatus: it works out of the box here [09:24] used to be you had to install it because of copyrights [09:24] ikonia, (II) LoadModule: "fglrx" I see that. Does that help ? [09:24] arooni-mobile: it means you system is under load, nothing serious [09:24] ikonia: where do I get a windows boot sector from? [09:24] could someone answer my question? :) [09:24] tehxed: that looks better [09:24] tau: windows install cd, Emergency repair disk [09:24] thanks bahr [09:24] ikonia: don't have one [09:24] MrBogus: wait for an answer [09:24] tau: then you can't do it [09:24] thanks [09:24] ikonia: so, what, I'm screwed? [09:24] tau: yes [09:24] ikonia: thanks [09:24] ikonia, There's definitely a lot of fglrx. What should I be doing? [09:25] tehxed: thats fine, that shows me what driver you using [09:25] * tau grabs a sledgehammer to his PC [09:25] MrBogus, -- prolly -- you did not check to instal a desktop [09:25] Gnome [09:25] ok. i'll try it.. [09:25] thanks [09:26] tehxed: I'm by no means an ati master, so I can't offer too much help on this, but the symptoms suggest I would join #compiz-fusion and ask about support for your card and driver versions and make sure yout not using a problem combo, and if you are, they will probably know better about how to tweak the config to get it better [09:26] Holy updates Batman! [09:26] how do i search for updates in hardy? also how do i change monitor resolutions [09:26] any filipino here? [09:26] lol [09:26] MrBogus: thats not funny [09:27] hello. anyone here setup vsftpd? [09:27] Hopefully I don't get kicked for repeating: can I get help with my MPD/Sonata library? [09:27] arooni-mobile: hardy will advertise updates for you. What video card do you have using [09:27] i've followed several different sets of instructions and my ftp client still won't let me login [09:27] ikonia, nvidia geforce 7300 i think [09:28] arooni-mobile: are you using the restricted drivers ? [09:28] ikonia, yes [09:28] arooni-mobile: thats a good start, then you should be able to change the resolution with system --> preferences --> screen resolution [09:29] what should i use for the server? my ip or ftp.domainname.com? [09:29] ikonia, where do you go to manage multiple monitors .. same place? [09:29] ikonia, i have 2 lcds [09:29] berkelep: either should work [09:29] arooni-mobile: ahh thats a little more tricky, you have the option of using xinerama or nvidia's twinview [09:29] is it possible to buy ubuntu gadgets somewhere through ubuntu.com or elsewhere? [09:30] ikonia, its interesting cuz i had nvidia twinview set up before... and i booted up and multiple montiors are working great! [09:30] arooni-mobile: xinerama is more "generic" twinview is nvidia specific. You can access the config with "nvidia-settings" [09:30] berkelep, -- you are connecting to them.. in an ftp session, so you connect to them.. not yourself [09:30] hey guys... i got a problem getting php5-mcrypt to work... i have php5-mcrypt installed via apt, and reloaded my apache server, but according to phpinfo (); there's no mcrypt extension, and the functions don't work [09:30] Hi guys, where can I get the "libc development package"?

[09:31] harris: the ubuntu repos, accesss through synaptic [09:31] berkelep: have you setup iptables [09:31] YoG, did you install adobe's official flash drivers? [09:31] ikonia: yes [09:31] berkelep, to get out there.. reach the other website.. something may be in the way -- the firewall.. the router... the ISP..., ftp port is 22, I believe [09:31] berkelep: then you will know if you need to open ports [09:31] ikonia hmmmm I tried looking at add/remove, then I dont see libc development package [09:31] 21... [09:31] FYI raid IS WORKING [09:31] cognatus: I installed the official plugin for firefox, is that what you mean?

[09:33] gfregrf [09:33] harris: what video card is it [09:33] any other suggestions on where is should look? [09:33] the site www.ubuntu______guide.org appears to be exploiting some sort of flaw in hardy. when open it immediately logs you out, system log reports a segfault [09:33] harris: a video card should not want libc development packages [09:33] (remove the underscores if you feel like testing) [09:33] i wana get my web cam from my PS3 to work on pidgin or anytihng else so i can vi=deo chat in hardy [09:34] cognatus: what is the correct URL [09:34] hmmmmm so why is it that the installation said so? it needs the package... by the way my Video card is GEFORCE 4mx [09:34] cognatus: yes, adobe is the official [09:34] harris: how are you trying to install the driverss ?

[09:38] harris: the windows boarder problem is known to specific nvidia cards/drivers, there is a fix [09:38] ikonia, does the site do anything particularly special graphics-wise? [09:38] Why does going to that site log me out? [09:38] that would tax X? [09:38] cognatus: do you know how do I remove the drivers? [09:38] cognatus: it's not a "tax" thing, it's probably a glitch when rending in your xserver [09:38] DeltaSlaya: look in your xorg log for some information perhaps ? [09:38] I tried it before and it works...... I downloaded the package from NVIDIA and boomm its working [09:39] however I formatted my P.C. just now [09:39] harris: as I said specific drivers and specific version [09:39] so im trying to install it again [09:39] harris: I advise you not to use nvidia.com packages. But thats your call if you chose to do so [09:39] drivetrax: to test ftp? or a sample file? [09:39] either would be helpful [09:39] yes [09:39] ikonia: Where is the xorg log?

[09:55] babolat_: ahh, now we are getting someone [09:56] somewhere [09:56] ikonia: it says there are broken deps, and i have no idea how to fix [09:56] hey ubuntu dudes and dudettes - does anyone here know if it's possible to mount a partition on startup by using the sessions manager? i mean could i theoretically add the command "mount /hda0/whatever" to sessions? [09:56] amirman84: nonono, add it to /etc/fstab [09:56] zeno__: the word "broken" does not appear in that log [09:56] ikonia, every other site i've been to today is working fine [09:56] what is the fastest server to download ubuntu 8.04? [09:56] zeno__: there is no broken dependencies [09:57] MrBogus: depends on your connection, where you are, and how busy the server is [09:57] MrBogus, that would depend on your location [09:57] MrBogus: generally the one with the least congested route to you [09:57] amirman84: the file /etc/fstab is where you do that [09:57] ikonia: it says "dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-16-generic:" [09:57] gordonjcp: what's the difference? what's the danger? i read up on the fstab process it looks scary!! [09:57] MrBogus: ther's an option in Synaptic to find the fasted [09:57] fastest [09:57] amirman84: nah, it's easy [09:57] zeno__: yes, but it's not broken [09:57] sudo dpkg --configure -a errors also [09:57] amirman84: it's also the "proper" way to do it [09:58] zeno__: be specific about what your asking [09:58] zeno__: why are you not using update manager ? [09:58] ikonia: ok, well im not sure exactly whats wrong sorry [09:58] gordonjcp: whats Synaptic? [09:58] zeno__, -- look at that pastebin.. what yer trying Needs things.. is dependent on Your having them. [09:58] ikonia: i was but it gave the same error mesages [09:58] amirman84: although some sort of handy little toolto do it would be good [09:58] jfd [09:58] amirman84: you should file a request ;-) [09:58] MrBogus: the package manager [09:58] MrBogus, in System > Admin > Software Sources, you can use the Best Server button to determine which server serves u best [09:58] by n [09:59] hello. then i play music with e.x. audacious player other apps like vlc or any other sound wont play. so i can use just one sound at once? dats crazy! how i can fix that? [09:59] gordonjcp: where's the best place to request that? [09:59] sorry, i didn't get it. where can i find the package manager?

[10:01] ikonia: and, have an idea? [10:01] jengelh: with what ? === Great_Briton_ is now known as Great_Briton [10:02] jengelh: I've not seen you ask a question [10:02] ikonia: an on-board interface on an asus A7V600 motherboard [10:02] foolip: what card is it though [10:02] problem: Failed to fetch http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy/Release Unable to find expected entry commercial/binary-i386/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?) when trying to upgrade to hardy........... what do i do now??

What is the proper procedure to produce a working initramfs? [10:03] ikonia: http://pastebin.com/m6b23e4 [10:03] ikonia: do I need to figure that out and load it myself, can't the autodetection from the isntallation be re-run? [10:03] DeltaSlaya, workspace view-thing? [10:03] DeltaSlaya: ? [10:03] Well I go shift-e and it shows all your workspaces? [10:03] foolip: not if it needs a restricted driver (which isn't available to the server edition - which is why you shouldn't target home user PC kit with the server install) [10:03] foolip: why are you actually running the server install ? [10:03] DeltaSlaya: sounds like something has been fiddled with, that shouldn't be fiddled with [10:04] This is pretty much a fresh install. [10:04] um, i don't have that DeltaSlaya [10:04] ikonia: because I want a server, and this computer has been running ubuntu server 6.10 LTS since just about 2006-10 [10:04] does anybody know anything about jboss ? [10:04] Yea I think it's a keyboard setting, where capital e is something. [10:04] foolip: the desktop release can work just as well as a "server" but with more support [10:04] but when I pressed Windows+E (force of habit...) orca popped in and magnified my screen. it was hell to get rid of.

[10:04] ikonia: i think the entire thing has to do with "Internal Error: Could not find image (/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-16-generic)", how would i go about fixin? [10:04] zeno__, -- read pls.. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/UpgradeFromOldVersion [10:05] ikonia: oh well, if that autodetection tool isn't available after install I'll just find the correct kernel modules myself, thansk [10:05] zeno__: thats installed with the kernel package [10:05] It's called expo key. [10:05] on that note, how can i set up keyboard shortcut buttons on a keyboard not in ubuntu's manufacturer list? [10:05] Whats the default expo key shortcut? [10:05] foolip: need to find out the network card make/model before we can progress it [10:05] foolip: lspci may help [10:05] I use an external drive and the problem is that each reboot it changes from disk to disk-1 or disk-2, etc, etc. I added an /etc/fstab reference to it but then I can no longer mount/unmount from the gui.

[10:11] o0Chris0o: this is a support channel only please. [10:11] <_max> or ever read about anything getting it to work? [10:11] _max: thats an obsure request, I don't think it's available as an ubuntu package, but it may work with the generic linux install of clear case [10:11] I can't make a shortcut SUPER + E. It just calls itself SUPER L or SUPER R. [10:12] ikonia: actually looking at my fstab it's all UUID [10:12] projektdotnet: ok, so you need to look at the disk1/disk2 issue [10:12] ikonia: minus the CD drive [10:12] super = e is compiz [10:12] projektdotnet: thats normal for a hardy release [10:12] #ubuntu-fr,#pigeon97410 [10:12] <_max> ikonia: define "obsure" ? [10:12] DeltaSlaya: so pick whether you want to use the left or right key [10:12] _max: did you google? first page: http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/LinuxClearcaseClient.html [10:12] Hi, does anyone now any DB designer for linux? [10:12] ikonia: ok, the question i have is what would cause the repeated renaming on reboot? [10:12] Yea I did. I think it's because of the keyboard layout I chose. [10:13] projektdotnet: can you shold me the fstab line for that disk please [10:13] <_max> ushimitsodoki: did you even read what i wrote? on UBUNTU, not rhel/suse [10:13] _max: did you read what I wrote [10:13] _max: that attitude doesn't help [10:13] ushimitsudoki, hello [10:13] ikonia: if I have a line for it in fstab then the drive no longer re-names but will not mount from gui [10:13] <_max> hes acusing me of not googleing and gives me a link to the redhat install. [10:13] _max: ushimitsudoki's link is very valid [10:14] salve a tutti [10:14] ikonia: if I don't have an fstab it will mount from gui but rename at each boot [10:14] drivetrax: hello [10:14] _max: he's not accusing you of anything, the redhat link is valid as it' "linux" which shows it will run on linux components [10:14] <_max> i know how to install it on redhat and suse, i was asking if anyone knew someone that has successfully installed it on Ubuntu [10:14] <_max> i wouldnt be asking in the ubuntu channel if i wanted a redhat guide. [10:14] I have used TabForce DB designer, but I cant run linux port. Does anyone know some alternative? [10:14] _max: if you want to be pedantic, speak to clearcase [10:14] !attitude | _max [10:14] _max: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [10:15] scusate, c'è qualcuno che sa aiutarmi su come installare un modem adsl con chipset accessrunner??? Grazie [10:15] <_max> jezus christ [10:15] projektdotnet: is it just the mount point thats changing, or the data within the mount point [10:15] ushimitsudoki, find yoshukai? [10:15] ikonia: the mount point [10:15] does anyone know if is imposisble to run xserver-xql and rendering 3D at the same time? [10:15] <_max> ikonia, i think you've missunderstood me. [10:15] ikonia: sorry I should have been more clear on that...it's been a long day at work and my mind is still winding down [10:15] projektdotnet: normally it's the disk label that defiene the mount point, so I don't see that changing [10:16] <_max> i asked you to define what you ment with "obsure", im not familiar with the world. [10:16] <_max> *word [10:16] _max: it means "rare" or "unusual" [10:16] it was meant obscure [10:16] <_max> and i did google, for installing clearcase on ubuntu, since i know its not supported by rational. [10:16] but I typed it wrong [10:16] ikonia: it acts as if it I am trying to mount another drive with the same label (ex: two external drives both named disk) [10:16] thought it was :) [10:17] projektdotnet: for arguments sake would you be interested in re-labling it ? [10:17] <_max> i thought i was specific enough in my question that not recieve a first hit google of a guide on how to install clearcase on redhat/suse [10:17] Man ikonia are you a bot, you're doing an awful lot of work helping all these people. :P [10:17] _max: you where not, it was a valid response and useful information [10:17] ikonia: not a problem, forgot where to change that though [10:17] <_max> i beg to differ about that but im getting lunch now. [10:17] does anyone know if is possible to run xserver-xql and rendering 3D at the same time? [10:17] projektdotnet: do it from within gparted if you comfy with that gui [10:18] microwaver: you mean xserver-xgl ? [10:18] ikonia: sure thing, brb [10:18] ikonia, Yes I do. [10:18] _max: are you trying to install the clearcase client? [10:18] ikonia, With that installad eand I glxinfo | grep render* it says : no, without it I can. [10:18] <_max> yes [10:18] microwaver: if you can run it - you can run it while rendering, although it's performance may suffer depending on how busy your box is [10:19] ikonia, how do i change the mirror? for the upgrade [10:19] microwaver: ooooh you mean 3d acceleration [10:19] _max: have you seen http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/LinuxClearcaseClient.html ? [10:19] arooni-mobile: /etc/apt/source.list [10:19] first hit on google, tells you exactly what to do [10:19] ikonia, what should i change it to [10:19] gordonjcp: another valid link, but he wants ubuntu specific [10:19] <_max> gorgonjcp, its for redhat/suse [10:19] <_max> its quite complicated installing since it needs a specific kerenl for mvfs. [10:19] hi can someone point me in the right direction: i want to understand how the whole xauth / .Xauthority keys story works instead of trying to hack it blindly... thx [10:19] <_max> i specificly wrote 11:05 < _max_> anyone successfully gotten clearcase working on Ubuntu ? [10:19] ikonia, Yes i mean that, on my home pc i tried to wine wow and use xserver-xgl simultaneausly but it doesn't work. [10:20] _max: Linux is Linux [10:20] ikonia: it says that it will erase all data on the drive if I relabel [10:20] projektdotnet: whoaaa [10:20] projektdotnet: shouldn't do [10:20] projektdotnet: what file system is on it ?

[10:24] ikonia, using the update manager gui [10:24] i have a probleme with ndiswrapper is someone can help me ? [10:24] drivetrax: it just means the partition is not set right, you don't need to chainload ubuntu [10:25] ikonia: ok now it is moved to /media/bigexternal instead of /media/disk, should i restart and see if the problem still exists? [10:25] ikonia, ideaz? ;p [10:25] arooni__: that makes it tricky to change the mirror [10:25] projektdotnet: that would be a good test [10:25] ikonia: will return [10:25] ikonia, ok i can do it from command line [10:25] alecta: we can't tell you if anybody can help you without knowing the problem [10:25] ikonia, just tell me what to do [10:25] IF the partition was not made... then make it [10:25] arooni__: I'd rather you didn't [10:25] arooni__: not sure how to progress this at this moment [10:26] ikonia, oh noes [10:26] has anyone ever tried to reinstall oracle express after uninstalling it? or noticed that the install fails to install files like /etc/init.d/oracle-xe [10:26] drivetrax: the odds of the root partition not being made - but the installer progressing to install grub is pretty much %0 [10:26] ikonia, i want the freshness [10:26] i ahve install office through wine how i launch office now [10:26] ikonia, well... does a live CD have a hard drive root? [10:26] i have install ndiswrapper on my pc but when i do "modprobe ndiswrapper " it's not working .... [10:27] drivetrax: no [10:27] drivetrax: it's squashfs === Mr_SpOOn[nonciso is now known as Mr_SpOOn [10:27] supertard: is the install meant to install an init script ? [10:28] ikonia, well if the partition was not made, then the partition should be made, and the grub will write the correct boot MBR.. then will see the partition [10:28] yes ikonia.. [10:28] it seems there are a lot of missing files [10:28] drivetrax: it may be pointing to the "wrong" partition [10:28] YES.. YES inddeeedddeee [10:28] i keep uninstalling the package and reinstalling it but it always fails to install these files into /init.d and into the web dirs [10:29] ikonia: odd, doesn't seem to happen any longer although it didn't start already mounted where it usually is mounted before the login is complete, minor detail though [10:29] and this is why the MBR on the drive should be edited? [10:29] ikonia: thanks for all the help on that one [10:29] drivetrax: so chainloading and creating partitions seems wrong [10:29] projektdotnet: you did it yourself and rio pulled up the easier command [10:29] !paste [10:29] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

Thats why I want to do the check [10:37] q-tip: I can get into Ubuntu, but not into XP [10:37] egoleo, also readup on Unetbootin [10:37] ok [10:37] intercom: at the very least you ought to be able to mount the XP drive read-only [10:37] IntangibleLiquid: just do a shutdown -F and let it run [10:37] intercom, you say that the grub menu shows it yes ? [10:37] projektdotnet: I've tried different things, could you please provide me with the mount flags needed for mounting NTFS? [10:37] IntangibleLiquid: pressing the power of for a slow shutdown is not a good idea [10:38] gordonjcp: That would be enough [10:38] intercom: Ubuntu should be able to detect and mount it, but if it can't make sense of it you'll need to do it by hand [10:38] intercom: i forgot exactly which flag, should have it again in one second [10:38] intercom: you need to know what partition XP is on [10:38] ikonia, I did not keep pressing it. Sort of like a catalyst for the processes to be shutdown :) [10:38] ikonia, thanks. I'll do the shutdown -F now [10:38] q-tip: Yes the grub startup meny has "Windows XP" in it, but when i press it nothing happends and i get back to the grub startup menu. [10:39] ikonia, almost forgot, how do I mark the partitions as dirty? [10:39] intercom: you probably want something like "mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /media/myxpdisk" [10:39] IntangibleLiquid: just looking for the option, something like put a .fsck in the root file system and it checks all [10:39] intercom check under root in ubuntu the partition information i.e fdisk -l [10:39] gordonjcp: XP is on the first partition on the drive, and i only have one hd. [10:39] IntangibleLiquid: I'll find the option, can't remember it off the top of my head [10:39] intercom you should see an ntfs or vfat partition [10:39] intercom: ok, so /dev/sda1 is a reasonable guess [10:39] q-tip: fdisk -l doesn't show file systems [10:39] how do I make group+perm changes to /dev/net/tun permanent (persistant across reboots)? -I tried `echo 'KERNEL=="tun", GROUP="vmgroup", MODE="0660"' > /etc/udev/rules.d/41-local-user-permissions.rules && /etc/init.d/udev reboot` with no success? (also tried rebooting) [10:40] intercom mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/xp (or something to that effect) [10:40] intercom: iirc there's something else you need to do to make XP boot from grub, but I can't remember what it is [10:40] intercom the dir you pick will need to already exsist [10:40] add chainloarder [10:40] tkooda: the rule has to be post the rule that creates the device [10:40] imtercom whats worng are you installing ubuntu for the first time [10:40] gordonjcp: That gave me this The device '/dev/sda1' doesn't have a valid NTFS. [10:40] ikonia oops you should see Fat32 I think long time ago only linux here ;) [10:41] q-tip: no, it shows the partition type only [10:41] intercom: Sure it is sda1 and not hda1? [10:41] intercom do you know if it's sata/scsi or IDE? [10:41] ikonia: its been a tough morning [10:41] ;) [10:41] q-tip: fdisk -l showed all partitions, and the NTFS is /dev/sda1 * 1 8924 71681998+ 7 HPFS/NTFS [10:41] q-tip: in the same way it won't show ext3 partitions or jfs partition, just "linux" [10:41] intercom: hm, that doesn't sound good [10:42] ikonia, the rule I'm attempting is in "41-local-user-permissions.rules", which IS post the 'KERNEL=="tun", NAME="net/%k"' rule that creates the device in "20-names.rules".. ? [10:42] tkooda: and after a reboot of the machine it still re-creates the device wrong ? [10:42] intercom what partitioning program are you using?? [10:42] intercom from this is looks like you have only one partion of type ntfs [10:42] intercom: you sure it's ntfs? Maybe try vfat [10:42] ikonia, yes [10:42] projektdotnet: Its on my laptop, so probably just IDE [10:43] Shadow420, : partition program? dont know :P [10:43] intercom did you get any more parition information or only what you just posted ? [10:43] q-tip: Tried with vfat: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1, [10:44] intercom when you have only one HD we have to split the HD into 2 partitions [10:44] q-tip: I got more, but didnt want to spam the channel [10:44] !pastebin | intercom [10:44] intercom: 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) [10:44] intercom do you have to load the module for ntfs under ubuntu something modprobe ntfs ??

[10:45] Ok everybody, here is my fdisk -l output : http://paste.ubuntu.com/10887/ [10:45] How can it be that my root partition in grub at boot is hd2, while in grub-config it's hd3 ? I have 2 sata disks and 1 pata; booting with gparted it's hda + sda + sdb, but when ubuntu is running hda becomes sda, sda is then sdb etc... very confusing, and sometimes giving trouble (like grub not finding splash-image). How can I get the whole thing consistent from boot to os and back ? [10:45] mohamed_: it wants a library thats not in the place it expects, or with the permissions it expects [10:46] morning [10:46] q-tip: I dont know if i need to modprobe something, im kind of newbie [10:46] mohamed_: google-earth is in the ubntu repos I thought [10:46] intercom try modprobe ntfs [10:46] intercom then mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /mnt [10:46] intercom as root of course ;) [10:46] can I install flashplayer [10:46] mohamed_: there you go, the ubuntu package is called "googleeearth-package [10:46] intercom sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /mnt if q-tip's command doesn't work [10:46] !flash | rinovan [10:46] rinovan: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [10:46] intercom you should be able to install grub at ubuntu installation [10:47] anyone got any ideas why this has no effect on the group+perm of "/dev/net/tun"??: `echo 'KERNEL=="tun", GROUP="vmgroup", MODE="0660"' > /etc/udev/rules.d/41-local-user-permissions.rules && reboot` [10:47] yes ikonia this is what i already made and the result if the error [10:47] http://paste.ubuntu.com/10889/ This is output from that mount command [10:47] Shadow420: grub is installed, his windows xp will not boot but linux does [10:47] projektdotnet ok [10:48] intercom do you have a floppy? [10:48] why doesnt hardy have /etc/udev/rules.d/45-libgphoto2.rules anymore? [10:48] maybe thats why my camera doesnt show up as PTP [10:48] intercom do you have a floppy Drive ?

[10:49] intercom do you have a desktop with a cd Burner that u have access to? [10:49] Hi all [10:49] tkooda: for arguments sake, what happens if you add the mode line to the 20-rule [10:49] !anyone | jtravnick [10:50] Shadow420, yes [10:50] tkooda: it looks like your rule is not getting executed [10:50] projektdotnet: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10891/ [10:50] jtravnick: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [10:50] Im having problems with updating to 8.04 it keeps on timing out [10:50] intercom then make a grub CD to boot linux and keep xp as your primary bootloader [10:51] chuxxsss, it's been quite some time now since mirrors have been misbehaving [10:51] Shadow420: yes i thought of that, but i dont know how to get xp back as the primary bootloader.. i have to get the xp bootloader in MBR somehow [10:51] ikonia, tried that (again just now). zero effect. /dev/net/tun is created with origional (undesired) group+perm. ? [10:51] iam sharing internet to another pc by firestarter. but it seem it only shares only one interface (eth1) . it doesnt shares internet to eth2 at the same time. is there any thing that can be done?\ [10:51] Maybe something I have done to my system [10:51] ikonia: i see that all lib exist in another directotory /usr/lib/googleearth but it search for lib in /lib/ [10:52] intercom just use the xp cd you got and go into recovery mode and type FIXMBR [10:52] intercom: I used to do fdisk /mbr from dos ;) but get ulimatebootcd then try to rebuild the MBR its the only way I can think of === taillo_ is now known as Taillo [10:52] mohamed_: yes, thats correct, it's looking in the wrong place for the lib [10:52] intercom: or listen to Shaodow420 ;) [10:52] Shadow420, i actually tried that, but couldnt find out how to get into recovery mode. [10:52] tkooda: and thats with the mode line in the 20-name.rules [10:52] hmm thats easy [10:53] intercom can you enter this room on your desktop [10:53] By the way I hope someone has set up this channel in the new system lucky I use to use this stuff when I used my amiga to get online [10:53] q-tip: Where do i get ultimatebootcd?:) Will this give me dos command line so that i can use FIXMBR? [10:53] thanks to everyone who helped me [10:53] Shadow420: Im on the computer with the problem now (in ubuntu) and i have cdrom burner on this [10:54] intercom: good luck [10:54] ikonia, yes. `grep tun /etc/udev/rules.d/*` return just 'KERNEL=="tun", NAME="net/%k", GROUP="vmgroup", MODE="0660"' in "20-names.rules".. ? [10:54] ikonia, the 'vmgroup' does exist, and no output to any sys/klog [10:54] babolat I install kubuntu on my system and then got the 3d thing to work half assed would had causes me problems [10:54] intercom when you launch the XP cd let it go to setup and it will act like wanting to install but look for a option to go into recovery console [10:55] tkooda: looking at it on my system. Can't explain it at this moment [10:55] jtravnick: i run doom3 in hardy [10:55] chuxxsss, didn't quite get u there.. can u be a little bit clearer? [10:55] ikonia, I'm quite puzzled myself. it's acting as if the udev rules.d/* is being compiled+cached elsewhere or something? -my rules/changes are ignored.

[10:57] (I seem to be unable to) [10:57] ushimitsudoki, when I did an upgrade from gutsy my doom3 still worked but when I did a fresh install now having problems with it crashing on start [10:57] Shadow420, is it like where the installer is initializing all the drivers and stuff? So that i may have missed it because it would only be available to choose for a couple of seconds?

Im crossing my fingers:) Ill probably be back tho hehe... Thanks for your help either way. [11:01] gnome works ok. its just KDE that doesnt [11:01] chuxxsss: ooooh you mean the ability to minimise windows [11:01] intercom I may not be on when you get back [11:01] chuxxsss: is that what you mean you can't minimise/close windows ? [11:01] yes sorry again [11:01] yes [11:02] anyone with more experience in mediawiki? i'm looking for a voting plugin, something like digg, or thumbs up/down, etc. something simple [11:02] chuxxsss: is that becuase your window theme is now controled by compiz/emerald rather than QT ? [11:02] voodoo: this is an ubuntu support channel, you'll find support on the media wiki site [11:02] intercom all in all if does work make a grub cd you can grab your grub info for your drive [11:03] jtravnick: can you post more? it is hard to tell where in the process you are... [11:03] intercom make to to install grub to your linux partition so you can access the info [11:03] shachaf, and making a grub disk is easy? [11:04] just installed super karama, its not showing up in my application list [11:04] no idea sorry just found the website that total me the commands. but in gnome if I try doing anything to the 3d desktop stuff it freezes appearances and I dont no what is going on. [11:04] [Ubuntu 8.04 and FireFox 3.0b5] Sound is working on all applications I've tried in Ubuntu except for FireFox. This comes in when at YouTube, etc. I've searched ubuntuforums, but the prospects look bleak. Is there anything anyone can recommend? Thanks! [11:04] ushimitsudoki, I think it has something to do with pulse audio as that killed doom3 in fedora8 for me. That was one of the resons I came over to ubuntu it worked with no problems before. [11:04] intercom yea === zaivaldi_ is now known as zaivaldi [11:05] ushimitsudoki, heres most of it this time http://paste.ubuntu.com/10894/ [11:05] intercom just for knowledge does your laptop have a Floppy Drive ort not? [11:05] InterestedPanthe: You should probably use "gnash" for flash. You can search for it in Synaptic. Don't forget to remove other flash plugins. [11:05] Shadow420, No floppy no. [11:06] must be compiz [11:06] o0Chris0o: how did you install it ? [11:06] ushimitsudoki, if you want I can paste the hole thing [11:06] ryukun: Thanks, I'll try that out. Does gnash do anything more or less than adobe's? [11:06] chuxxsss: your not giving us much to go on, have you tried changing the theme [11:06] Add/Remove under applications [11:07] InterestedPanthe: it's not as supported [11:07] o0Chris0o: are you using gnome ? [11:07] yes [11:07] o0Chris0o: it won't show up on the menu, it's a kde app [11:07] jtravnik: no i think there is a clue...after "using ARB_vertex_buffer_object memory", the next line should be "using ARB renderSystem" (instead of the obvious error) ... everything before that looks identical to my boot [11:07] InterestedPanthe: I haven't noticed any other difference except the sound. [11:07] ryukun: just to mention, currently swfdec has higher compatibility than gnash, while gnash has the better-sounding name ;) I haven't checked if there is an swfdec package for ubuntu, but it's definitely more worth trying out than gnash [11:07] InterestedPanthe: I did have problems with some pages in gnash; If I' m not mistaken there' s also flash for linux in the repo's, works better probably; if it's not in repo's it is on flash home page fer sure [11:08] Deepthought: the package is flashplugin-nonfree [11:08] other kde apps do, but alright, where do I find the app so i can add it to menu? [11:08] o0Chris0o: normally /usr/bin [11:08] !flash | InterestedPanthe [11:08] InterestedPanthe: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [11:08] ok [11:08] ikonia: thanx, InterestedPanthe did you see ikonia's message ? [11:08] ikonia I can change themes in compiz effects [11:09] from dmesg, what does this mean? usb 5-3: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 3 [11:09] chuxxsss: and does that bring the minimise / close options back ? [11:09] Deepthought: Yes, thanks. I'm checking it all out now :) [11:09] I have a USB drive I can't access [11:09] johntramp: the usb bus reset [11:09] ryukun: I 've had trouble with sound in gnash too; have you found any solutions apart from installing adobe ? [11:09] ikonia: so what does that mean? is it bad? [11:10] johntramp: it can hand the port, it may not hang the port [11:10] hows the best way to go about diagnosing dhcpd weirdness. I've a device on our network that is giving out discovery packets but the dhcpd server isn't offering a lease even though i've configured it to assign a specific ip. [11:10] ikonia: so is there anything I can do about it? [11:10] johntramp: is it causing you issues ? [11:10] hello [11:10] ushimitsudoki, any idea how to fix it? [11:10] ikonia: well I can't access the drive, and I get that message every 30 seconds or so [11:11] johntramp: how are you trying to access it ? [11:11] ikonia: it doesn't even show in fdisk -l [11:11] jtravnick: i'm sorry, no - that is just where i would start googling :( [11:11] not in kubuntu [11:11] the net installation of ubuntu is complex, can i get a usb flash disk to install ubuntu from? [11:11] johntramp: ahh, so the port looks like it's hunt [11:11] ikonia: hunt? [11:11] homa_rano: confirm this with "tail -f /var/log/messages" and then re-insert the device [11:11] ikonia: dunno, I don't see it listed anywhere, how do I search for a program? [11:11] Deepthought: Well, I have not had trouble with gnash, in fact it was the only one by which I could hear sounds on flashs. Maybe it's related with my sound card, hda-intel. [11:11] johntramp: "hung" sorry [11:11] ikonia: ok [11:11] o0Chris0o: it's normally in /usr/bin [11:12] it is ok in gnome [11:12] ikonia: would more dmesg output help? #flood? [11:12] ryukun: so you had sound problems with adobe ? [11:12] Deepthought: yes [11:12] johntramp: probably not to be honest [11:13] ryukun: Well, who ever said PC's make sense... I run intel sound too, if i' m not mistaken... ;-) [11:13] I am running 7.10 for 386 but would like to update to 804 for amd 64 by using the network. Is that possible? [11:13] ikonia: so would a hung port be caused by a faulty harddrive? [11:13] please note that the problem here is to move from i386 to amd64 [11:13] and not the update process itself [11:13] ushimitsudoki, k thanks anyway just hate this since like I said it used to work no problem now I cant play in fedora or ubuntu [11:13] johntramp: errrmmmm, I don't know to be honest, I suppose it could be [11:13] Deepthought: Interesting.. :) [11:14] johntramp: if it's sending voltage down the usb cable, it can hang it [11:14] johntramp: I've never seen that senario [11:14] johntramp: have you tried the disk in a different usb port ? [11:15] ikonia: i'm actually trying to help a friend, so ill ask him to try that [11:15] jtravnick: what's the problem with doom3? [11:15] is there a way to find out how grub names devices (hd's) as opposed to how they end up in ubuntu (my numbering gets topsy-turfy' d somewhere along the boot, and I' d like to know what I' m doing editing devices.map instead of guessing; or should I take different approach than edit device.map ?) [11:15] how do i install ubuntu from a usb flash disk plse [11:16] how can I locat an app I cant find? [11:16] egoleo: boot from usb, run the installer [11:16] egoleo: same as from cd [11:16] ubottu: thanks [11:16] but which iso do i download [11:16] or same iso as cd? [11:17] Deepthought: look at your /boot/device.map [11:17] !grep |o0Chris0o [11:17] o0Chris0o: 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 [11:17] o0Chris0o: what is the binary name [11:17] not sure exactly doesn't say [11:17] Hello guys. Advice me please - how can I change bootsplash resolution? It looks very, very poor now. [11:17] just says superkaramba [11:18] how do i rescue a parition which i have already parition but havent written anything on it? [11:18] o0Chris0o: superkarmaba is for the KDE desktop - your using gnome [11:18] o0Chris0o: soory, that wasn' t very useful.. but grep would probably be your best bet to search; I' m not familiar with it though; read the man page [11:18] how do i rescue a parition which i have already formatted but havent written anything on it? [11:18] gordonjcp, crashes at start [11:18] doesn't matter, can still be used [11:18] berent, you cannot. [11:18] like other kde apps [11:18] o0Chris0o: can it ? [11:18] hi anyone know what causes slow file copy on ubuntu with sata drives [11:18] yeah I am running a few kde apps already [11:18] At least without professional work. [11:19] ikonia: that's what I did, but the thing is, at boot grub gives the disks a different number than it does when I' m editing it in grub-edit; or maybe that' s a problem with grub edit and not grub ? [11:19] habit: but i want to do it. cant i do any of the recovering journal [11:19] o0Chris0o: not all kde apps will work [11:19] o0Chris0o: super karamba is made for the kdeDESKTOP your not running that [11:19] berent, as I said, you cannot. [11:20] berent, for example, developers of ext3 says about it. [11:20] ikonia: it works, just have to find where it isntalled at. I can bring superkaramba up using the tracker, but it doesnt give me the file locatin [11:20] Deepthought: I don't trust tools like grub edit as they won't account for or be aware of things like changes in the device map [11:20] location* [11:20] ikonia: by the way, you do mean boot/grub/device.map, right ? [11:20] berent, but some people know some ways, and i think it is impossible to contact them. [11:20] o0Chris0o: how do you know it works if you can't find it to launch it ? [11:21] habit, are you really sure? I remember myself recovering picutres from a filesystem... However I can't remember what filesystem it was.. [11:21] I would like to change my distribution from i386 to amd64 without reinstalling. Is that possible [11:21] ct529: not really [11:21] habit: i think if mac can store its history on free BSD i think there should be some way . [11:21] just told you, I used "tracker search too" it Does not give me the file location but finds it for me to run [11:21] o0Chris0o: I just told you, not ALL kdea apps work [11:21] berent, good luck then :) [11:21] lol [11:21] o0Chris0o: tracker is not super karamba [11:21] nvm [11:21] your totally lost [11:21] habit: who are those unreachable elements. that too in open source. are they not open? [11:21] http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-486854.html [11:21] o0Chris0o: I'm not [11:22] o0Chris0o: that link was for you [11:22] berent, try google for more information. Official answer is: You can not. [11:22] berent, I am understand you mate, but I really telling you truth. [11:22] ikonia: I have to agree on stuf like that; where can I get any inside on how device mapping takes place, because as I said, numbering gets changed somewhere along the boot (wich doesn' t make sense), makes it hard to edit things; I would like the whole thing to be consisted from boot to shut-off; is device.map the way, or are there other factors involved that I should know about ? === jeff007 is now known as jeff50 [11:23] ikonia: why? is it because ot is too complicated or because it is not technically feasible? [11:23] ikonia: insight I mean, not inside [11:23] ct529: both [11:23] Deepthought: the device.map file is the mapping - fact. [11:23] Deepthought: so edit things by hand and you'll find it work [11:24] How do I run VMware server in Ubuntu Hardy Heron? [11:24] ikonia: ok; I' ll go with that, and say goodbye to the whole QuTe thing; never liked it in he first place... ;-) [11:24] something about boot mapping.. where the boot part is not known to grub cause grub is not ..looking for it.. that is why you have to know where to tell grub to look.. and map it to the right place [11:24] exit === nunuk is now known as mug [11:26] Good morning. :) [11:26] drivetrax: was that directed to me ? if so, please explain [11:26] yes Deepthought well, I just read it.. in grub documents [11:26] Deepthought: what exactly are you trying to change, lets walk it through [11:26] ikonia: what do you use for desktop? [11:26] drivetrax: I mean, I understand what you'r e saying, but please elaborate [11:26] o0Chris0o: does it matter ? [11:26] ubottu: how do I install flashplayer [11:26] no it doesn't really matter, just thought I would ask what you used [11:27] rinovan: install the flashplugin-nonfree package [11:27] didn't know it was a big deal to ask? lol [11:27] just wanted 2 say [11:27] o0Chris0o: it's not [11:27] ubuntu is great! [11:27] Deepthought, you need to know, or guess correctly.. that the drive part you map to is the bootable one.. cause grub doesn't care what.. [11:27] i've installed it 4 days ago [11:27] and i love it [11:27] Jason`: this is a support channel, if you want to chat about it join #ubuntu-offtopic please. [11:27] and terminal is nice [11:27] ikonia: not in browser [11:27] rinovan: not in browser ? [11:27] rinovan: what do you mean ? [11:28] Deepthought, Grub has a GNU-Grub website, ya know [11:28] ikonia: The thing is, everything worked fine, until last update on hardy (new kernel), now grub is programmed like it always was to boot from hd3, but can' t find it, I have to edit to hd2. In grub config however, if I set hd2, it' s a different disk; that's the root of the problem [11:28] ikonia: like macromedia flash player [11:28] drivetrax: Yeah, and I' ll make a study of it tonight [11:28] rinovan: yes, you need to use the ubuntu package manager (synaptic/apt) to install the package flashplugin-nonfree [11:29] Deepthought: grub should be using uuid - not hd references in grub [11:29] loool.. too much 'Deepthouhgt!' [11:29] ikonia: It has always been awkward to figure disks, because -- I' m not finishing this sentence, because you said something there; uuid; thats different than hd0, hd1 right ? [11:29] Deepthought: very different [11:30] Deepthought: the grub issue you speak about, is not a "new" issue for people to solve [11:30] Deepthought: so to get around this ubuntu chose to use UUID refeences in the grub config [11:30] goooood; so there would be my solution to get consistency between boot and os, right ? [11:30] Deepthought: does your menu.list contain uuid references [11:30] ikonia: where' s menu.list ? [11:30] Deepthought, sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [11:31] gksudo [11:31] lemme see.. [11:31] Deepthought: /boot/grub/menu.lst [11:31] how do I install kde and able to run gnome and kde? [11:31] ikonia: can I install the amd64 version from the iso image on a partition on my hd? [11:31] ikonia: nope, it's all hd2, hd3 etc [11:31] Can tar /foo ever leave /foo? [11:32] o0Chris0o, do u mean install a kde-intended app in gnome? [11:32] ct529: not on the same one as your i383 install [11:32] Deepthought: is this a hardy install ? [11:32] babolat_: no to have 2 different sessions I can choose from [11:32] eh /foo [11:32] ikonia: yep [11:32] Ikonia: So.. I installed Ubuntu's previous version a few weeks ago and it ended up locking up my system on a blank screen. Is this some sort of video problem? [11:32] ikonia: from rc, updated [11:32] Jafet: no, remove the abousolute path [11:32] o0Chris0o, oh.. no idea [11:32] Deepthought: can you pastebin your menu.list please. [11:33] ikonia: will do [11:33] ikonia: not on the same one hd or the same one partition? [11:33] ct529: same partition [11:33] o0Chris0o, this might be useful for you -- http://www.debianadmin.com/install-kde-desktop-in-ubuntu.html [11:33] thanks emma [11:33] ikonia: so I can put it on a different partition on the same hd and boot and install from there? [11:33] ct529: you cannot upgrade your existing install, but you can do a fresh install, on another partition, or overwriting your existing partition [11:33] o0Chris0o, you are very welcome. :) [11:33] I have an AMD Athlon 4400+ X2.. can I still use the regular installation? [11:33] ct529: you can't really boot from a seperate partition with an ISO on it, because of how the livecd works [11:33] MaseX, yes I believe so. [11:33] MaseX: sure [11:34] i`ve got unfixable problem with x-server every thing just f..ed up and nobody can`t tell how to fix it so somebody to tell how to reinstall ubuntu 8.04 without losing tha data in my home folder ? [11:34] ikonia: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10900/ [11:34] suxxor: don't need to see language like that please. [11:34] MaseX, I also have an Athlong and it works for me. In fact, I have often been told that running the 32 bit version is probably better for most users. [11:34] suxxor, slow down.. back up, take a breath.. [11:34] ikonia ok can you tell me how to reinstall it [11:34] The last time I installed Ubuntu, it ended up just giving me a blank orange screen repeatedly. I want to use Ubuntu more than anything and I don't know what the problem is.. Any ideas? [11:34] ahh I can use sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop, but I want to be able to get rid of gnome eventually [11:35] i did gutsy->hardy upgrade. I got an error about coreutils package. The error message is "unable to make backup link of `./bin/ls' before installing new version: Operation not permitted" [11:35] ikonia: the problem is: no device (cd or so on). only netwro [11:35] anybody got a similar problem? [11:35] suxxor: why do you want to re-install it, can you expalin the issue [11:35] sorry, only network [11:35] ikonia yes [11:35] ct529: you can netboot it, sure. [11:35] ikonia: to make stuf even more complicated, there' s also an external esata disk on xtra esata/raid pci-controller (no raid there used, just the one external), that even further confuses numbering from instance to instance (also 2 sata, 1 pata on mobo) [11:35] suxxor: I asked why you wanted to reinstall it and what the problem was [11:36] hello I have a question about my .dmrc file [11:36] ikonia: and I would like to install the amd64. So I thought: I download the iso in one partition (dev/hd6) on hda, I boot from the iso, and then install on another partition (dev/hda7). does it make sense? [11:36] ikonia when i am trying to change the resolution it shows me the next error "The X Server does not support the XRandR extension. Runtime resolution changes to the display size are not available." [11:36] I have changed the mode on it to 644 but it keeps ignoring it for some reason [11:36] ct529: certainly makes sense, but not the most straight forward thing to do [11:36] it won't read it [11:36] I am not sure why [11:36] Deepthought: is grub from ubuntu or another distro ? [11:36] ikonia now my computer is not running smoothly [11:36] windows can`t move [11:37] suxxor: what did you do to cause this [11:37] I updated Ubuntu earlier for the version I have and it is up to date now but it is giving me that particular error [11:37] hi guys i want to disable that normal user in kubuntu can not hibernate his PC only he can do logout [11:37] I've tried chmod 644 [11:37] tried a few different things [11:37] it doesn't seem to "take" [11:37] any idea where i do in kubuntu [11:37] ikonia: nope, totally clean fresh hardy install form rc; only thing I added around the time of kernel update is medibuntu repos [11:37] ikonia i`ve just upgrade my ubuntu to 8.04 [11:37] ikonia: of course not straightforward, but what else can I do? the question is: is it possible and is there documentation about it? [11:37] ikonia trough the update manager [11:37] Is there a special way a GeForce 7800 GT 256 works with Ubuntu? Are there reported problems? [11:37] ikonia and thats it [11:37] ct529: yes possible. One moment [11:37] that's the only "real" issue at the moment [11:38] ikonia i`ve got this problems with video driver [11:38] ikonia: I' m not sure if medibuntu did the kernel update or if it was scheduled; anyway, I' m running old kernel now (.16) [11:38] suxxor: what video card [11:38] hi all - I've just installed virtualbox via the repositories [11:38] now my sound and xdisplay is stuffed [11:38] ikonia radeon x1300 [11:38] suxxor: rats, an ati, yes that does make things tricky [11:38] Deepthought: ok, I think I see the issue here [11:38] * WoDaN looks for wonder solutions for X - who refuses to start - since it can't find the 'fixed' font [11:39] ikonia: I did add kubuntu desktop, and use it mainly [11:39] Deepthought: give me a moment to work out how to explain this to you, as although it's quite straight forward, it's going to sound quite complex [11:39] * polterge|st doesn't know why $HOME/.dmrc keeps getting ignored [11:39] those wonder solutions should take into account that it considers the fontdirs to be 'bad' although they are there and have fonts.dir/fonts.aliases [11:39] I managed to find out that during install my username and root was taken out of all groups [11:39] ikonia: I' m gearing up the synapses; hit me when yer ready [11:39] suxxor, tekk us if this helps -->http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=768357&p=4812717 [11:39] I've fixed that but still problems [11:39] Deepthought: as a side issue when / how did you install debian onto this system [11:39] ikonia so how to reinstall it xD? [11:39] suxxor: you don't need to re-install it [11:40] suxxor: the problem is your drivers not supporting the xrand extention, [11:40] suxxor: can you paste your xorg.conf file for me please into a pastebin [11:40] ikonia: hihihi, befor hardy, after hardy beta fliped upside down, so I could get daily stuff done and have good backup sys to fix things fer instance; grub from debian, probably ???! [11:40] ikonia: before that I did gutsy [11:41] I don't get this.... Why menu items only created when you create this app without manullly alter them. Once you change it then the next time you install it won't install menu item anymore [11:41] Deepthought: yes, I think thats one of the issues, I'm not certain the grub your using is the ubuntu grub [11:41] for example, wine [11:41] got alittle question, I copied over my settings.conf, does this mean I've lost the original? [11:41] ikonia ok just to see what i can do with link that u send me [11:41] X-Seti: yes [11:41] X-Seti: little answer: yes [11:41] !pastebin | suxxor [11:41] suxxor: 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) [11:42] suxxor: paste it into that [11:42] Is there a problem with GeForce 7800 GTs and Ubuntu? [11:42] well ive suffed up one of my websites, then if they isnt an undo.. lol [11:42] ikonia: makes a lotta sense, also since I had none of these probs in gutsy, and hardy seemed not to install grub where I wanted it (the root part-drive0 but on hda, well.. etc etc etc etc [11:42] Deepthought: one of 2 senarios are happening. [11:42] ikonia: How do I go about getting a fresh' n new grub on the root-disk (leave the other one be, as backup) [11:43] can anyone help with the virtualbox problem please? [11:43] Deepthought: grub-install should do it, but since I rarely install grub I always forget how ;) [11:43] or have i [11:43] MaseX: what kind of problem? I'm using a 7300 with no problems [11:43] Deepthought: lets just take a quick step back [11:43] !ask | majikins [11:43] majikins: 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. :-) [11:44] ikonia: bios settings should have no influence on disk naming, or should it ? [11:44] ubottu: hm, all on one ilne? let's try that [11:44] Deepthought: they can have influcenes, eg: if you change the boot order for example [11:44] Deepthought: give me a quick on line summery of what you want to be on your system at the end of this ? [11:44] i just installed virtualbox - upon reboot my sound does not work and xorg file was modified [11:44] ikonia: That's what I meant; but it seams changing boot order changes nothing in this context [11:45] ikonia: ping? :) [11:45] ct529: just one moment [11:45] ct529: the doc I want I can't find [11:45] I'm trying to get them to work again - but I don't know how to fix [11:45] ct529: to give you something to get started [11:45] ikonia: :) [11:45] ikonia: ok; want the disk names with it or can you figure that out with the list ? [11:45] !install | ct529 [11:45] ct529: Ubuntu can be installed in a lot of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall. Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [11:45] #bi-cebu [11:45] ct529: the last line of that talks about installing from a usb pen drive, the process is going to be the same, but instead of using a pen drive, your going to use a partition on your disk [11:45] #virtualbox [11:46] ct529: thats only the concept and a guide, I'm lookinfor the correct docs [11:46] I got my X not working anymore, after a package install that stopped working due to / filling up (not sure if it's related), X considers all fontdirs as 'bad' and therefor doesn't find the 'fixed' font and thus no go. I've reinstalled the xfonts* packages already, as well as xserver-xorg-core and friends, but still no go, strace/ltrace do not show me anything as to why the fontdirs are discarted (they exist, have fonts in them and have the fonts.dir/font [11:46] majikins: go to channel #virtualbox and ask your question [11:46] parhaps they can answer [11:46] ikonia: thank! [11:46] Deepthought: I'm struggling to find the wording to summerise this [11:46] Or parhaps it is #vbox [11:46] Deepthought: ok, put it this way [11:47] Hey is it possible to tunnel traffic (vnc in particular) through ssh on port 80? wihtout disrupting web browsing? [11:47] yes I've been on vbox and was advised to add myself back to the groups - I've done so and still no joy [11:47] ciao [11:47] Deepthought: you currently have 2 linux distros on there, both will want to "manage" grub - this is pain. First port of call what distro do you want to be "the" distro you use [11:47] theres no-one answering now [11:47] ikonia: simple: I use the ' old names' :sda is small disk with ubuntu boot and root, (as well as raid-halves for home and var), sdb is large with other halves of raid and sdb1 windows xp. hda is just data and debian emergency sys [11:48] Deepthought: forget disks and partitions at the moment, we need to be much more basic [11:48] Deepthought: do you still want debian on this system === Drusoup is now known as SoupDragon [11:48] ikonia: ubuntu is my daily thing, debian just there to try out and have as rescue; also some extra partitions to try other distros from time to time, but I may better go virtual at that... [11:49] Deepthought: is the /boot partition shared between debian and ubuntu (it doesn't look like it is) [11:49] ikonia: I could live without debian, never start it as long as ubuntu is ok [11:49] ikonia: no its not; debian is simple one-partition install (uses same swap though) [11:49] Deepthought: right ok, so lets work this out [11:50] Deepthought: we assume ubuntu is the "master" on this system. So /boot and it's contents are all we are interested in [11:50] help, after I install wine, gnome doesn't create menu item for it [11:50] ikonia: gettit [11:50] Deepthought: are you actually booted into ubuntu now ? [11:50] ikonia: yep [11:50] hey guys what program do i use to browse a windows network and make some network drives etc? - its all on my LAN. [11:50] Deepthought: great, so if within ubuntu you do a "blkid" what is the reference for your ROOT file system [11:50] Deepthought: i mis read ur name then and saw deep throat LOL [11:51] ikonia: will check [11:51] Hey is it possible to tunnel traffic (vnc in particular) through ssh on port 80? wihtout disrupting web browsing? [11:51] Deepthought: according to the grub setup it should be 755ad4c1-9652-42a8-b030-d8b56f545dae [11:51] userlol: it should be possible [11:51] you ACCESS the webserver on port 80.... [11:51] ikonia http://pastebin.ca/1011570 here is my list [11:52] userlol: should be, as long as you're not running a web server on the box you're sshing to [11:52] is it possible to crack WPA keys or do you have to bruteforce? [11:52] ikonia sorry but my computer blocked and i have to reboot it [11:52] ikonia: UUID="755ad4c1-9652-42a8-b030-d8b56f545dae" indeed [11:52] suxxor: ok, thats fine [11:52] gordonjcp ah damn, i am running apache2 :S === b0x is now known as b0xxy [11:52] ikonia see what can make please [11:52] ahh cool, I got it all back :) [11:52] userlol: in which case port 80 is already in use ;-) [11:52] so only one program can listen on port 80 at a time yup [11:53] ikonia: I' m presently not booting from this disk, would like to in the future though [11:53] userlol: are you using https as well? [11:53] ok, ill try 8080 then [11:53] it changed the database name, so thats ok [11:53] nah not using 443 [11:53] ikonia: not really important anyway [11:53] hey good idea, ill use 443 [11:53] ikonia i`ve deleted some line for higher resolution to change it temporally [11:53] ikonia: any bootdisk will do [11:53] I've an interesting issue with the installer - it let's me choose language and keyboard settings and then says it's unable to mount the CD, anyone heard of this? ... the graphical installer just dumps me to busybox with no errors displayed, just "Loading" [11:53] userlol: looks less "suspicious" too, you'd expect encrypted traffic on 443 [11:53] ikonia because it was running on 1600 x 1200 and i couldn`t make anything [11:53] ya true lol, you read my mind :D [11:54] suxxor: what I need you to do is change the line Driver "fglrx" to Driver "vesa" [11:54] (ssh'ing from work to home you see) lol [11:54] suxxor: be warned this will not be a good resolution, but I want you to confirm the xorg server is working correctly and not killing your machine [11:54] Deepthought: you need to select a boot disks [11:54] disk [11:55] Deepthought: grub should ONLY be installed on 1 boot disk, anything else will cause confusion [11:55] ikonia: will use the one root &boot is on [11:55] hiya! my heron is broken, I think because of this bug here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/virtualbox-ose-modules/+bug/226960 ... how do I get my old kernel back? [11:55] Deepthought: and you installed that your bios will have to be set to boot that disk directly, yes ? [11:55] Launchpad bug 226960 in virtualbox-ose-modules "Installing module for wrong kernel flavor breaks system (modules missing)" [Undecided,New] [11:55] ikonia: origginally I changed stuf around so in grub-failure I could change boot order to go windows, or debian [11:55] ikonia you want to make the this line look like this Driver "vesa" [11:55] suxxor: Driver "vesa" [11:56] suxxor: perfect [11:56] brb [11:56] Deepthought: ok, but you understand that I'm saying - pick a drive and stick with it [11:56] ikonia now what [11:56] Deepthought: I understand why you changed but we need to stick with this [11:56] suxxor: restart [11:56] suxxor: be warened your resolution will be poor [11:57] full or just he alt+tcl + backspace [11:57] ikonia: not at the moment, now it's booting from the 'windows-disk'; and I' m getting it now, ubuntu stup just updated the debian grub instead of installing new where I told it too; that;'s also why splash won' t work; am I getting it right [11:57] Ive installed ubuntu after installing Windows XP, and now i cant boot the XP partition. Ive given up on this now, and i would very much appreciate help on mounting the NTFS partition so that i can salvage the data stored on the partition. Anyone? [11:57] suxxor: just reset the server ctrl+alt+back [11:57] my screenres is 800x600 and I apparently my sound drivers are gone [11:57] Deepthought: thats it your getting it [11:57] Deepthought: it's easy to understand once it clicks in your head, but hard to explain if you don't get the concept [11:58] could anyone care to take a look at this dmesg output; http://pastebin.com/d14fc52ab Is the sdb drive dead? [11:58] Hi, anyone can tell me how to make mic work for thinkpad t61p? [11:58] I tried many ways which I searched from google, but none of them worked === Foon_ is now known as JohnnyForeigner [11:58] ikonia: you said it, I know all to well, in day time I work at daycare for junkies, getiing' m on the internet and trying to clickety-click their brains (wich is nigh impossinble) [11:59] johntramp: doesn't look like it's dead [11:59] johntramp: is this the disk thats plugged in via usb [11:59] ikonia: so; I remove the debian grub, or can I leave it for emergency; or will that confuse the whole thing, it will, huh ? [11:59] ikonia: yes [11:59] johntramp: looks like the usb port has issue with ubuntu, rather than the disk [11:59] Deepthought: I woldn't say remove it [12:00] ha! can i just rm vmlinuz and mv vmlinuz.old vmzlinuz ? will this do the trick and restore the old kernel? === janet is now known as pschulz01 [12:00] ikonia: good; then what do I do ? [12:00] chunyu -- Right Click on the volume icon next to the clock and click on "Open Volume Control" [12:00] plus initrd? [12:00] Can anyone help me mount up my Windows xp NTFS partition? [12:00] Deepthought: just forget about it, get your ubuntu grub working, and make sure thats what your booting, as the debian one will have it's on device.map, menu.list which causes the confusion your seeing now [12:00] Is there any way to improve the looks in openoffice? E.g change the colour of those oldlooking gray ugly 1990-ish menus? [12:00] ikonia: install a 'new' grub on my disk of choice, right ? [12:00] chunyu, -- Click Edit -> Preferences. A list of devices will be displayed, you should check the following (Do not uncheck any existing items): [12:00] steve__: got the inird, the System.map etc from the old kernel too [12:01] ikonia: oh ok. I read `sudo modprobe -r ehci_hcd` worked for some people, but not here [12:01] Deepthought: thats one way of doing it yes, [12:01] hey.. how do I disable middle click? [12:01] ikonia: but what I don' t get, as debian doesn' t boot from same boot, how that map can influence ? [12:01] chunyu, check these: Internal Mic, Input Source, Capture [12:01] johntramp: the usb port appears to be alive, but not happy and dying, for example, maybe an irq conflict [12:01] ikonia: oh, and another external drive is working fine [12:01] Can anyone help me mount up my Windows xp NTFS partition? Read-only will be enough [12:01] chunyu, let me know if that makes any difference. [12:01] ikonia: I got initrd & vmzlinuz in / dir, anything else? [12:01] Deepthought: it can't, but the contents of your ubuntu menu.list - if updated by debian, or copied from the debian menu.list may be different [12:02] steve__: maybe enough to get away with it [12:02] emma, let me try [12:02] anyone able to help me with the installer?

"~$ gnome-volume-manager // gnome-volume-manager: command not found" [12:03] ere4si, once will do, just so that i can make backups [12:03] Deepthought: or change the boot order, boot into ubuntu (assuming grub works) and update grub that way [12:03] ikonia: or install new grub over old, then change order and reinstall grub again, now on right bootdisk ? [12:03] askand, the colors in Open Office change when you change your Gnome themes. However, there may be other ways to set the preferences in OO.o but for that you might want to try #openoffice.org [12:03] Deepthought: that can also work [12:04] ikonia: do you have any idea why this would be happening? The drive was apparently working fine the other day. [12:04] ikonia: can' t go that way, cause grub on different disk than ubuntu root [12:04] johntramp: let me trawl the dmesg a little more [12:04] anyway [12:04] frustrating [12:04] emma: aha was not aware of that channel, thanks for answering! [12:04] ikonia: thanks [12:04] intercom: you need to know it's place in /dev and make a folder for it in /media [12:04] I've tried deleting the file [12:04] Deepthought: ok, but you've got the concept now, so you should be fine [12:04] $HOME/.dmrc [12:04] I dunno if it is the folder or what [12:04] ikonia: OK, the crux has been reached; how do I reinstall grub ; synaptic ?

[12:05] askand, you're quite welcome. I have been in a lot of these channels on Freenode. #openoffice.org is not as busy as this one so just ask your question and then look for a reply from someone there later on. [12:05] polterge|st: this is a busy channel, can you please stop [12:06] can I repost my question or isn't that allowed?

But it's a different version right, and I need the right (ubuntu) one, so I need reinstall, no ?

[12:19] pen - dont remember how - did you try a sudo aptitude update wine? [12:19] why is that [12:20] ere4si, cause i cant get into recovery mode [12:20] intercom: yeh ok - that happens [12:20] N1N31NCHN41L5, the menus were there the first time I install wine [12:20] N1N31NCHN41L5, but then I uninstall wine and delete the menu, now install new wine the menus doesn't show up [12:20] ere4si, im trying to find like a small image just containing the recoverymode part [12:20] It feels like google and the forums need to catch up with the new release. [12:21] N1N31NCHN41L5, I don't get why gnome design menus like this [12:21] Lots of what I find when I try to search for information for people is for Gutsy or older still. [12:21] your missing the gui gor wine - damn check a search for wine in synaptics see if any of the hits mention gui [12:21] pen I think when you uninstall wine, the menu's get removed automatically. Plus, you should try the deb's/repos given by the Wine community itself, some say the wine on Ubuntu repos is quite buggy [12:21] emma: that's why help.ubuntu.com is better because it can be easily edited [12:21] N1N31NCHN41L5, have you ever use wine? [12:22] s_spiff, actually, the menu doesn't get removed automatically when I remove wine [12:22] just to run yahoo and it didnt work well [12:22] pen agreed. For now do it manually, but for the next version, use the repos given by Wine on their homepage. [12:23] is there a way to change the permissions on a directory for another user? e.g., chmod username + rwx directory [12:23] heya [12:23] intercom: I don't know what else you did bit it sounds like your filetable for windows might be shot - I'm no expert tho [12:23] when i click on my cdrom icon, it says, Unable to mount location, can't mount file...how do i fix that ?

[12:23] s_spiff, do you know why? [12:24] ere4si, and if thats shot then im screwed right? all data lost? :/ [12:24] i see you are an op now bazhang, congratulations. [12:24] intercom: I'm no windows expert at all - there may be a solution :) [12:24] pen Like i said above, what I told you is a very noobish workaround. I wouldn't know the technicalities of the error :( sorry. [12:24] intercom: I use testdisk to fix those problems [12:25] emma :) [12:25] :) [12:25] intercom: what happend to get you to this stage?

[12:27] intercom: SoupDragon suggested testdisk as a solution - worth a shot [12:27] where in the hardy heron gnome environment have they hidden the setting for disabling autoplaying removable media with music files [12:27] intercom: I PM'd you a link, if that's not what you want, take a look at testdisk 6.5 [12:27] ehm sorry for nubby question, but how go i get up the terminal now again? xd [12:27] alt+ ? [12:28] SoupDragon, yeah thanks, reading now;) [12:28] kakan, ctrl+alt+f1 , f2 etc [12:28] Kakan: alt+F2 [12:29] in gnome, how do I get it to quit trying to play DVD's and crap when I insert them? use to be an option in the "removable media" section [12:29] Off to work now. Take care #ubuntu [12:29] anyone have any other ideas about my installer issue? [12:29] Kakan: ah, but you probably want the terminal app, which is under applications -> accessories [12:29] sponix: i'm wondering the same thing [12:29] What Application can I use to read the access guide /usr/share/gnome/help/gnome-access-guide/de/gnome-access-guide.xml? [12:30] nainef, in the future could you paste that in #ubuntu-offtopic thanks [12:30] thanks guys [12:30] worked [12:30] Kakan: great [12:30] :) [12:30] but how do I make my user have full permissions? [12:30] apparently, I can't without accessing the root-user, but I can't log in with root [12:31] Kakan: ubuntu is set up so admin tasks need a password - it is the safest [12:31] not that [12:31] i got two accounts [12:31] one called root [12:31] which has always been there [12:31] yoyo, is there some simple drawing program under ubuntu, like MSPAINT? gimp kills me, i can't find how to draw circle [12:31] then, this account [12:31] Kakan [12:31] Kakan: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [12:32] but, I can't do everything with user "kakan".. [12:32] Kakan, you need sudo not root [12:32] Kakan: in ubuntu root is "disabled" by default, which is smartest from a security standpint, but you can give root a password with sudo passwd root [12:32] i'm trying to learn how to add to the fstab the installer made. does something like "/dev/mapper/pdc_deaehjcgaj5 /home/sysop/raid/small auto auto,user,noexec,ro 0 0" seem like it makes sense for an ntfs partition? [12:32] Kakan: you always use sudo and password - no need to be root - it isn't secure [12:32] oh oki [12:32] Kakan: what are you excluded from? [12:32] hey everyone. i'm having a problem with evolution, it won't let me send/recieve [12:33] can someone help me [12:33] well, i couldn't MANUALLY go into boot/grub/menu.lst and edit. [12:33] it worked now when I used terminal [12:33] in fstab, does "/dev/mapper/pdc_deaehjcgaj5 /home/sysop/raid/small auto auto,user,noexec,ro 0 0" seem right? [12:33] Kakan: you can sudo with users that are set to the admin role, but yeah, writing sudo is a pain sometimes. consider not using root on production servers and such, though [12:33] ya [12:33] Kakan: that's the security - no viruses on linux because of that :) [12:34] but I don't get this sudo thingy :o [12:34] ere4si: hehe, ;D <3 [12:34] you just type it before any command that you would need to be root for [12:34] sudo is a command that lets your normal users do the command you put after sudo with root rights [12:34] Kakan: sudo = super doer [12:34] aha [12:34] cool :D [12:34] thought it was super user do ;] [12:34] just gotta learn the commands then ^^ [12:35] can someone help me with my email problem in evolution? [12:35] can someone take a quick look at that fstab line and tell me if it makes sense? [12:35] "/dev/mapper/pdc_deaehjcgaj5 /home/sysop/raid/small auto auto,user,noexec,ro 0 0" [12:35] if you wanna mess aroudn a lot, it might be convenient to log in as root, but it has its downsides [12:35] well, thanks folks. gotta boot windows for a while now, play some counter-strike. ;) [12:35] cy'all! [12:35] have fun :P [12:35] Kakan: you can play CS in ubuntu [12:35] :p [12:35] Hi [12:35] Kakan: counterstrike works in wine [12:35] lol, enjoy being opressed by proprietary software ;) [12:36] quick question from linux newbie with Hardy Heron: How do I use .emerald-files? :P [12:36] zirodal: ain't that via wine?

[13:28] can i get the pendrive site [13:28] how do i add more channels to connect automaticly with the server? [13:29] in XChat [13:29] soundray: Because my computer is a thinkpad X60 (with only a trackpoint), which also uses the button for scrolling. Then it's easy to accidential paste text when scrolling in documents. [13:29] no [13:29] how do i use wubi plse [13:29] Jason_, the Xchat menu at the top, then network list [13:29] tornvig: okay... [13:29] !wubi | egoleo [13:29] egoleo: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. [13:29] adam7: That problem can be a temperature problem (sorry for my english...) ? [13:29] blue112, maybe, but I kinda doubt it [13:29] blue112, I don't have a lot of experience with hardware failure though [13:29] thnx [13:30] yes i know but on: Channels to join [13:30] tornvig: have you looked up your thinkpad on tuxmobil.org to see how other owners have dealt with this issue? [13:30] i type [13:30] #ubuntu, #ubuntu-offtopic [13:30] but it only joins me to here [13:30] Ok. I've saved my SQL data (most important). I'm gonna try to reboot it; [13:30] Jason_, yeah, #ubuntu,#ubuntu-offtopic,#ubuntu+1 [13:30] Jason_, no space, I think [13:30] oh [13:30] soundray: no will do that.. have tried thinkwiki though.. no luck [13:30] ill try that [13:31] when i click on my cdrom icon, it says, Unable to mount location, can't mount file...how do i fix that ? [13:32] spencer47 [13:32] great [13:32] worked [13:32] hey all, should emerald be using 4gigs of memory? [13:32] since i only have a gig of ram this confuses and upsets me [13:32] im palpatating [13:32] moDumass, it shouldn't [13:33] how are you even seeing that its using 4gb of ram? [13:33] tornvig: this might help: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-430006.html [13:33] if you are using a 32bits version, it can't be using 4GB :) [13:33] adam7, but it is for no apparent reason [13:33] im looking for a program like jinzora ( http://en.jinzora.com/ ) but one in the repo's is there one? [13:33] tornvig: what's your touchpad thinkpad issue? [13:33] thunderbird only does POP mail? [13:33] chamunks: what does 'jinzora' do? [13:33] hmm, will work on it tomorow, too late [13:34] chamunks, you might want to summarise what it does... [13:34] bazhang, it also supports imap [13:34] bazhang: thunderbird speaks lots of protocols (IMAP, exchange, mbox); POP3 is just one of several [13:34] joaopinto, you know there to set that? I tried to configure gmail [13:34] chamunks, for music you can use mpd [13:35] bazhang: sorry, evolution speaks exchange IIRC [13:35] sladen thanks [13:35] will get evolution [13:35] soundray: yeah have tried that, but I don't want to actually disable the button.. I still want to scroll and so on.. just not paste.. [13:35] bazhang, just select IMAP for the account type [13:35] im just looking for a webbased way to serve my music to my home network really via streaming and jinzora does that but i would like one thats supported. [13:35] sladen: my scroll button pastes [13:35] joaopinto, thanks must have missed it [13:35] tornvig: disabling button 2 should not affect scrolling [13:35] sladen: and I don't want it to.. [13:35] joaopinto, ill look into it is mpd an acronym for something? [13:36] iam following http://www.ubuntugeek.com/sharing-internet-connection-in-ubuntu.html . and i have 3 interfaces. one for dsl and 2 other for sharing. i have dong sharing for one. how do i share for the other? [13:36] i mean, do i have to follow same steps. all of them . all over again but with making the sharing eth2 instead of eth1 this time ? (done for eth1) ? [13:36] chaky, music player daemon [13:36] tornvig: it's not a scroll-button. It's mouse-button 3 [13:36] how do i know if my wireless card is working ? [13:37] Hi im trying to install Apache2 on Ubuntu 8.04, I have installed all the required packages but cannot access my localhost server. have i missed something?? [13:37] tornvig: (natively). However. With some fiddling, you can map mouse-button 3 to act as a scroll-modifier [13:37] tornvig, 3 button mice were around befor these companies decided to add wheels. :) and then they hijacked the button 3 as well.. [13:37] adam7: The ftp transfert doesn't work, the file are all 0b :/ [13:37] bennyf11, have you tried browring locally to it, or remotely ? [13:37] browsing [13:38] how do i know if my wireless card is working ? [13:38] joaopinto: I have only tried locally. Its only on a home network [13:38] Dr_willis: they didn't, not in the electrical sense. The wheel actually operates buttons 4 and 5 (tornvig, sladen) [13:38] Dr_willis: indeed :) Thinkpads have had three mouse-buttons for longer than mice have had wheels [13:38] Dr_willis: but isn't button 3 right click? [13:38] !wifi | khelll [13:38] khelll: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [13:38] bennyf11, is the httpd running ? [13:38] tornvig: that's right [13:38] tornvig, its a middlc click I thought. [13:38] khelll: the smartass answer is if yoiu can access the internet [13:38] I have heard something about problems of this spring distros with WiFi. Something like that if it is connected to one network, it cant connect to another. Stopping and starting the wifi interface should not helps. It should be connected with all new distros. Does anyone know some details? I am wondering about upgrading to Hardy and doesnt want to degrade instead :) [13:38] I got so many buttons on some of my new mice.. 1/2 of them aint even being used. [13:39] joaopinto: i cannot find a file at /etc/init.d/httpd [13:39] tornvig: you want to disable button 2 if you don't want it to paste [13:39] joaopinto, mpd is for playing locally and controlling remotely i need remote play. [13:39] paarth am connecting using lan [13:39] tornvig: 0 2 1 and the wheel-action down/up is 4 5 [13:39] tornvig: it will still scroll after that, for reasons explained above [13:39] Dundee, the best thing you can do is research it in the forum see what others have had tosay www.ubuntuforums.org [13:39] chaky, not it's not, it is also for remote playing [13:39] tornvig, if you have a lot of buttons the program btnx - is very handy http://www.ollisalonen.com/btnx/ its in some unoffical repos also I think [13:40] erm, chamunks [13:40] tornvig: what you can do is enable "chording" so that 1 + 2 ("left + right") generate middle click; and then map middle click to scroll on [13:40] can anyone tell me how to disable a repository so synaptic won't use it at all? [13:40] Pelo: I have, but I cant find anything useful. Seems that its to early. [13:40] Wyleyrabbit, sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list , comment the entires that you dont want to use [13:40] Wyleyrabbit, comment it out of /etc/apt/sources.list [13:40] Dundee: if you are going to upgrade, you are going to backup, right? So if things don't work as you'd hope, you can always restore [13:41] Wyleyrabbit, go to software sources then uncheck it and update/refresh [13:41] tornvig: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_configure_the_TrackPoint#Scrolling [13:41] joaopinto, ... hmmm looking further into it ... what would i use client side to play kus i want to play it on my eeepc and i dont wana have to install anything on it. [13:41] bennyf11, have you sudo apt-get install apache2 ? [13:41] sladen: there's no need to reassign scrolling [13:41] soundray: back what? :) [13:41] chamunks, if you dont want to install nothing on the client side you will need a web based music player [13:41] ok I disabled the middle click now.. scrolling works but no middleclick to e.g. open new windows in firefox.. but I guess I'll have to live with that.. or do as sladen suggests [13:41] thanks for your help [13:42] Dundee :D [13:42] Hmm.. I can middle click on links in firefox and they open in new tabs... [13:42] how can i get software for legit email address [13:42] ? [13:42] TooreD, You may want to clarify that question a bit. [13:42] TooreD, email client? [13:42] joaopinto, yea its just that i dont really wana screw up my girlfriends eepc trying to compile stuff on it.. lol [13:42] hey guys what program do i use to browse a windows network and make some network drives etc? - its all on my LAN. [13:42] http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-431712.html <--- for the middle mouse button paste [13:42] tornvig: excellent. (Personally for myself, I use middle-click paste about once every 30 seconds, and if I'm working in Inkscape/Gimp I use middle-click scroll about once every 5 seconds ... so the native configuration is much better for myself) [13:43] scot: samba [13:43] joaopinto, well ill do some more digging il let you know what i come up with [13:43] sCOTTo: PLaces>Network ?? [13:43] ok :) [13:43] how can i get it ? [13:43] TooreD: you mean software that tests whether a string of characters is an email address? [13:43] sCOTTo, the kde and gnome file managers have 'samba' network browsing features. Theres alternatives to those also [13:43] oh and that will let me connect to a server on my LAN ? [13:43] a windows server? [13:43] i yes [13:43] chamunks, you know about the #eeepc channel and their www.eeeuser.com wiki right? [13:43] sCOTTo, they let you see/access the shares - yes. [13:43] joaopinto: I have now [13:43] ok [13:43] scot: it will let you also mount windows network shares as drives [13:44] what do i do if i cant SEE the shares on the windows 2003 server? [13:44] i need client email address [13:44] bazhang, i didnt thanks ill note that.. :) [13:44] sladen: ye I see your point.. but when I code or something like that, bugs suddenly turns up because I've pasted something unwillingly [13:44] bazhang: ok, that worked to select a different mirror, but that mirror also seems to be busted. [13:44] ;] [13:44] *turn [13:44] gday bazhang [13:44] good morning all!

[13:45] !zoneminder [13:45] bazhang: is there a way of removing busted mirrors altogether so synaptic won't auto-select them when I pick "choose best server"? It autoselected mirror.arcticnetwork.ca, but NOTHING works from there at all. [13:45] scotto: you are bi? [13:45] bugger... [13:45] bogey-: bi? [13:45] sCOTTo: i was about to target practice with one, yet at a buck per shot, it'd be a bit expensive [13:46] bazhang: I can't even do a refresh without a screen full of "failed" messages from there.

[13:46] deserteagle: yeah i agree [13:46] How do I upgrade my Dapper machine to Hardy if "Software Updates" doesn't have an upgrade button? [13:46] Wyleyrabbit, you can edit the sources list if you wish [13:46] deserteagle, that dident make a lot of sence. if you mean like virtual box, or vmware, you set it up in the OS the machine is running. The VM and the real machine are networked on a virtual network normally [13:46] exarkun: apt-get update [13:46] http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=5391 [13:46] exarkun: apt-get dist-upgrade [13:46] black-man [13:46] has anyone installed ubuntu 8.04?

[13:47] N1N31NCHN41L5: Do you need it?? [13:47] soundray: does zoneminder is good ? or you can recommend me on other software ? [13:47] joaopinto: need to install ubuntu-base from cd [13:47] bazhang: please correct me if I'm wrong, but sources.list get's written by synaptic when I pick the mirror I want from there, right? Somewhere, there must be the list that synaptic uses for testing which is "fastest server". [13:47] know how to do that? [13:48] deserteagle, see if the windows machine can ping the linux box, see if it can ssh to the machine also. as a test I guess. May be a networking issue [13:48] Dr_willis: aaah.... see i don't quite know how to do that :P [13:48] kate_mins: like I said, I don't knwo [13:48] *know [13:48] lala [13:48] justAsset, ubuntu-base ? you mean, you need a minimal install ?

[13:48] Dr_willis: guess i'll check out the samba-doc [13:49] then you need to live for about... 3 months WITH OUT A MOUSE. :P [13:49] where can i download email address from [13:49] where can i download email address from [13:49] exarkun: try REINSTALLING the program you are speaking about and see if that is good [13:49] deserteagle, you did give the linxu user a Samba password with 'sudo smbpasswd -a USERNAME' ? You did set up some Shares on the linux box? You did install samba on the linux box? [13:49] joaopinto: something like that [13:49] justAsset, just grabde the alternate cd, and install it [13:49] TooreD, what email [13:49] TooreD: your question does not make sense. Explain what you want to do, use more words [13:49] or MAKE a button launcher ont he desktop that does what I just told you - or use synaptic... [13:49] Dr_willis: no, yes and yes === google-bot is now known as googlebot [13:50] TooreD, You really need to be more clear. YOu are looking to get a bunch of email addresses to just spam people? [13:50] joaopinto: i have a desktop edition of hardy [13:50] is it enough? === googlebot is now known as yahoobot === yahoobot is now known as msnbot [13:50] Dr_willis: just typed it out and yes, i had given it a password. I just eliminated it though [13:50] justAsset, erm, what are you trying to achieve ? Is ubuntu already installed on your disk ? [13:51] !elaborate | TooreD [13:51] joaopinto: sorry for such a stupid questions [13:51] TooreD: Please elaborate, your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel) [13:51] deserteagle, for simple file transfers from windows to/from linux - i also often use ssh, and winscp on the windows box. [13:51] joaopinto: i'm just trying to install ubuntu on the raid 1 === msnbot is now known as yahoo-bot [13:52] i've instructions how to achieve that [13:52] !nickspam > yahoo-bot (Please see the private messsage from ubottu) [13:52] and one of the steps is to install ubuntu-base and ubuntu-desktop [13:52] sorry, I have no experience with RAID hw [13:53] Dr_willis: would googling ssh and winscp help or do you know of any good tutorial on using them both? [13:53] adam7: I've reboot it manually, and everything works... [13:53] justAsset, that would be: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [13:53] blue112, cool - I'd make backups though anyway :) [13:53] they never hurt [13:53] adam7: Of course :) [13:53] deserteagle, ssh is documented all over the place. :) in short.. install the ssh server. download/install winscp on the windows box. Run it.. enter ip/name/pass of the linux box. [13:53] from the command line, assuming at that part of the instructions you already did a base install on the hd === yahoo-bot is now known as google-bot [13:53] joaopinto: it doesn't want to install desktop from live cd [13:54] deserteagle, it will be a bit slower then samba. But i use it when i just want to do some one time file transfers [13:54] i mean it tries to install it from internet [13:54] Okay so anyone wanna help with any of my problems? (Hardy) - xserver sometimes restarts when clicking on the panel. - When hibernating/shutdown have to press power-button manually, and at wakeup it says sleep failed and sometimes my ps/2 keyboard doesn't even work (even after a restart, 2 restarts usually work). - video basically stands still both in mplayer and gstreamer totem (can scroll trough the video but it doesn't start playing). Thanks. :P [13:54] but i mean, what is python has that c/cpp hasnt? [13:55] Jason_, oodles of libraries [13:55] Dr_willis: thank you so much for the help. I wish my apps would work under wine but i guess i'll just have to transfer each windows file it needs over to the wine drive_c and hope it runs [13:56] deserteagle, depends on the ap. for wine you may want to try the newer wine thats in the unofficial repos also. [13:56] Dr_willis: did that actually, and tried crossover office, crossover games, cedega, wine with mono... :( nothing [13:56] deserteagle, what are you trying to run?

[13:57] !python [13:57] Factoid python not found [13:57] :( [13:57] Jason_, python is interpreted, so you don't need a compiler [13:57] Jason_, that's offtopic for here though :) #python is your friend [13:57] Jason_, python does not compli,e it interprets your program, and it is installed on ubuntu by default [13:59] all wrong python compiles to bytecode and some implementation to machine code. [13:59] * Dr_willis seconds what jatt says [13:59] it sort of auto-compiles :) [13:59] hmm is there a repository for hardy with vmware-server for amd64? It was available for feisty. [14:00] * Gentle_ seconds Dr_willis seconding what jatt said [14:00] dsop, not at this time that i am aware of. [14:00] jatt, Dr_willis, yes, but you don't need to install a compiler [14:00] Dr_willis: okay, I guess I have to wait [14:00] well, unless you consider the interpreter a compiler [14:00] can anyone help me with my problem? [14:00] beause it technically is a compiler. :) i guess. [14:00] jatt, that is not that the native definition for a compiler [14:00] Has anyone tried to use the UFW to actually block a site as could be done with IPtables [14:00] need to install ubuntu-desktop from CD [14:00] Wyleyrabbit, that software sources will let you choose any mirror you want really--may want to experiment with it [14:01] I stand by my words. [14:01] justAsset: do you mean that you've got a server install right now? [14:01] jatt you have a support question? [14:01] Charbucks: somethink like that [14:01] bazhang: thanks for investigating. I just wish there was a way to say "don't ever use mirror.xyz.com" (for example), EVEN IF it seems the fastest. [14:02] what?

[14:04] Charbucks: :) didn't I too [14:04] bazhang: seems to me in gentoo there's a shell-based tool to do choose fastest mirror, but at the end it presents you with a list of the mirrors with their ping times and YOU get to pick which one to use. Too bad synaptic's "pick the best mirror" has been dumbed down to the point where the button should now read, "feeling lucky, punk?"

[14:10] I have installed php5 by doing sudo apt-get install php5 [14:10] ikonia: i think [14:10] justAsset: thats not hardware raid then [14:10] justAsset: do you mean a raid controller on your motherboard ? [14:10] soundray: it mounts the FAT32 SD card but does not display the data [14:10] someone knows a software for video editing for Ubuntu [14:10] zetheroo: Nothing fishy in dmesg or any errors if trying to mount manually from a command prompt? [14:10] ikonia: yes [14:10] zetheroo: run 'tail -f /var/log/syslog', then insert the card and put the output of tail on http://paste.ubuntu.com if it doesn't make sense to you [14:10] justAsset: thats is not hardware raid [14:10] asmith42: how would i start php?

[14:11] just an html [14:11] bennyf11: install the package "PHP5" [14:11] soundray: do I need to install something to make FAT32 work? [14:11] manual [14:11] justAsset: that is not hardware raid, thats called "Fake raid" [14:11] !fakeraid | justAsset [14:11] justAsset: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [14:11] ikonia: I have already done this [14:11] zetheroo: why don't you do what I suggest? [14:11] platinum, use a cmd line web browser such as lynx [14:11] facilitador, soundray: whoops, I meant cinelerra :P [14:11] ikonia: sorry, not enough familiar with it [14:12] bennyf11: "sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5" [14:12] soundray: will do.... [14:12] there is a php5-apache package or similar you'll need too [14:12] justAsset: no problem, just be aware it's not hardware raid [14:12] wait, ikonia got it :) [14:12] iam following http://www.ubuntugeek.com/sharing-internet-connection-in-ubuntu.html done for eth1 (client) eth4 dsl connection. http://pastebin.com/m4bdf9f3a i configured for eth1 and its not working itself. link is up on client. but a cross on computer connection on server. instead eth2 is working fine. any help please ??? [14:12] ikonia: that is also already installed [14:12] justAsset: so anything thats aimed at hardware raid will not be valid [14:12] drebellion: ya i guess that's possible, but I kinda wanted something a little cleaner [14:12] bennyf11: restart apache and it should work [14:12] zetheroo, is this sd card reader built into a laptop? [14:12] platinum, "cleaner"? [14:12] ikonia: i've used dmraid and gparted to create partitions on that raid [14:13] !officialdocs | mistiipu [14:13] mistiipu: Before doing anything you don't know about, check the official Ubuntu document repository and wiki pages at https://help.ubuntu.com These guides are created by the Ubuntu community for Ubuntu. This will give you a tried, test and most importantly *SUPPORTED* way to resolve your issue and move forward. [14:13] justAsset: sounds good [14:13] Dr_willis: shouldn't make a difference, if it reads FAT16... ? [14:13] OK CharBucks :-D Thanks [14:13] ikonia: how do i do that?? [14:13] drebellion: well clear text [14:13] Dr_willis: yes... it worked fine before with this same card in Gutsy [14:13] soundray: vfat should support 16/32 [14:13] ikonia: :) does it mean that i'm trying to use software raid? [14:13] bennyf11: sudo /etc/init.d/apache restart [14:13] ikonia: I know [14:13] platinum, you want to read the code? [14:13] justAsset: no, it means your using fakeraid [14:13] soundray, many laptops built in readers can not read some kinds of cards.. but i guess thats not the issue here [14:13] Does the Hardy install from Windows not save changes you make by default? [14:13] bazhang iptables is supported [14:13] drebellion: for the long reads, no just the text [14:13] soundray: fair enough, only saw half of it [14:13] ikonia: sorry again [14:14] justAsset: no need to apologise [14:14] ikonia: :) [14:14] justAsset: keep in mind that "raid, fakeraid and software raid" are 3 things - all different [14:14] Dr_willis: could be... zetheroo, is your fat32 on a SDHC card? [14:14] i add some lines to /etc/modprobe.d/options - how i can apply the news settings ? restart modprobe.d ? (i am new to ubuntu) [14:14] asmith42, sure it does-->you mean wubi right? [14:14] platinum, you could download it locally with scp and view it with firefox [14:14] ikonia: I get an error saying that /etc/init.d/apache command not found [14:14] were scan i see mailer scanner ? [14:14] ikonia: ok [14:14] * Wyleyrabbit hates fake raid! [14:14] asmith42, yes, it does save, it is a regular install, but inside your windows ntfs partition [14:14] bennyf11: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart [14:14] I installed Hardy from WinXP Pro and have booted into ubuntu several times, but none of my changes, such as appearance and WPA keys, seem to stick around. [14:14] hello [14:15] TooreD: /var/log [14:15] ikonia: i've found some instructions about ubuntu installation [14:15] soundray: I think so [14:15] were scan i see mailer scanner please [14:15] asmith42, make sure you are not booting from the livd cd :P [14:15] drebellion: scp... ok, nice. i guess I could ftp as well eh [14:15] i installed the latest ubuntu on a Windows XP machine. it created a new partition for the ubuntu, resized the windows's one and installed GRUB on the windows's partition. now i can't boot windows... anyone got an idea why? [14:15] ikonia: one of the steps is apt-get install ubuntu-base [14:15] TooreD: the logs will be in /var/log [14:15] joaopinto: hehehe Thanks. I'm 110% sure. [14:15] Does ubuntu release refresh-images? I need 8.04 on a new machine, but would like to avoid the tons of updates released after. [14:15] TooreD: This doesnt have anything to do with Ubuntu, you can continue in #ubuntu-offtopic [14:15] platinum, scp and ftp are different protocols [14:15] zetheroo: many SD card readers aren't equipped for SDHC. That could be the problem. [14:15] anybody knows a tutorial on how to play a ubuntu with qemu within Windows ? [14:15] how can i make use of it [14:16] tovare, there will be a 8.04.1 , I dont remember the month now === Bill-Gates is now known as platyhelminth [14:16] soundray: but in Gusty the same card was working fine in the same reader [14:16] knoppix: qemu is a linux technology [14:16] ikonia: I have restarted the server, still no luck. How would i tell if PHP is correctly installed [14:16] soundray: its only since installing hardy [14:16] HelP - I have no /etc/fstab floder??????? [14:16] joaopinto: ok :) I gess I'll install the updates then :) [14:16] zetheroo: okay, it's not that then. Any progress on the tail output? [14:16] N1N31NCHN41L5: why not ? [14:16] bennyf11, just create a sample page with phpinfo() [14:16] N1N31NCHN41L5: it's a text file, not a folder [14:16] soundray: just booted up... [14:16] ikonia: i'm running knoppix with qemu within windows [14:17] drebellion: ya I guess. I'm sure there is a way to pipe it straight threw the the terminal though. but for now tats as good as anything:) [14:17] knoppix: what are you using as the virtual host then ? [14:17] ikonia: the host is windows XP [14:17] joaopinto: Another symptom seems to be that the Documents and Settings migration tool doesn't work and it keeps running everytime I boot. The Forward button remains ghosted. [14:17] knoppix: ahh it is available on windows, my mistake [14:17] knoppix: just reading it now [14:17] ikonia: don't worry, [14:17] bennyf11: put in a file called index.php on your webserver and view it [14:18] i installed the latest ubuntu on a Windows XP machine. it created a new partition for the ubuntu, resized the windows's one and installed GRUB on the windows's partition. now i can't boot windows... anyone got an idea why? [14:18] ikonia: do you know if there is a way to install an ubuntu with a qemu [14:18] ? [14:18] knoppix: if you have an image, I'd assume it works the same as knoppix [14:18] micoooo: normally, Ubuntu adds a boot entry for Windows. If it didn't, you can add one yourself: [14:18] i did add one [14:18] i just doesn't work [14:18] asmith42, there must be something broken with your installation, I have never used the migration tool, it could be the source of your problem [14:19] drebellion: i could install apache and browse to the machine and file lol ;) [14:19] i gets back to the grub menu [14:19] ikonia: thanks, i'll try [14:19] micoooo: Could you provide more information that "just doesn't work", like an exact error message? [14:19] ikonia: Its still requesting me to download it (the index.php file) [14:19] micoooo: can you put your menu.lst on http://paste.ubuntu.com and also the output of 'sudo fdisk -l' [14:19] bennyf11: one moment [14:19] just a sec [14:20] joaopinto: OK. Do you think that since I have to cancel out of the migration tool during the setup, it isn't completing something it wants to and therefore isn't saving any settings? [14:20] is the vmware install going to svrew up my nvidia like virtualbox did ? [14:20] hm, I noticed I cant hear the music/sound from firefox while Im playing songs from rythmbox? [14:20] asmith42, I believe so [14:21] bennyf11: can you look in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled and see if php5 is in there [14:21] just for clarification, if i want to open a connection in my local network using a URL. I need to set up a DNS server inside or modify my hosts file??? [14:21] ikonia: yep i need to edit it sorry added extra / at the end [14:21] Dryrd: I have nvidia card and run virtualbox. what problem did you have? [14:21] platinum: need some sort of name resolution, any will do [14:21] N1N31NCHN41L5: what is stopping you editing it ? [14:21] platinum: If you want to use name instead if 1.2.3.4, yes. [14:21] soundray [14:21] http://paste.ubuntu.com/10914/ [14:21] it doesnt exist..... - or i cant [14:22] 10/4 thanks [14:22] dumba$$ looks below folders - derrrrrr [14:22] and [14:22] http://paste.ubuntu.com/10915/ [14:22] N1N31NCHN41L5: let -ls /etc/fstab [14:22] btw, how do i removed that second ubuntu install? === mojo_ is now known as mojo [14:22] can someone please tell me how in the fsck I configure 2 servers in an isolated network so I can sync both their times [14:23] micoooo: let's fix your booting first [14:23] Howdy, I am an arch user normally, setting up a computer for a buddy of mine who was having issues installing ubuntu a while back, anyway, I was just wondering if there is a reason to go with one of the older supported versions or if I should just grab the newest version for him? [14:23] the other system keeps complaining that my other server's stratum is too high [14:23] ok [14:23] Wraithan, why not the newest one? [14:23] it's driving me NUTS, I just want the other server to sync to the other's hardware clock, I don't give a fuck about accuracy, they just have to be the same [14:23] Wyleyrabbit, on hardy ? [14:23] bennyf11: sudo a2enmod php5 [14:24] white_eagle: that is what I am asking, all the versions are available still, I was just curious if there was a reason to go with a older one or if I should go with the newest [14:24] ikonia: (10:21:22 PM) ikonia: N1N31NCHN41L5: let -ls /etc/fstab typed that minus the let of course -ls command not found [14:24] micoooo: which partition contains your Windows installation: the one that is on a disk by itself, or the one that shares the drive with Ubuntu? [14:24] is anyone else having a lot of unresponsive app problems with 8.04? [14:24] Wraithan, hardy is fine (plus its lts - long term service) [14:24] N1N31NCHN41L5: "ls -la /etc/fstab" was the command I asked you to run [14:24] wraithan: i don't like to adopt the absolute newest first thing with out expecting a few bugs [14:24] bazzieb: no, it runs well for most of us [14:25] Wraithan, i believe hardy is good enough, though even with gutsy you can't be wrong [14:25] hi how to disable ipv6 in hardy..? my net connection is way too slow [14:25] my wireless card is not working properly ... am using ubuntu 8.04 [14:25] !ipv6 | Romeyo [14:25] Romeyo: To disable ipv6 read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsingSlowIPv6IPv4 [14:25] damn i am struggling and i have a decent pc [14:25] oh thanks [14:25] DRebellion, platinum, white_eagle: kk, never used ubuntu so wasn't sure, thanks for the help [14:25] the one by itself i think [14:25] bazzieb: no need to swear. Can you do something reproducible that will freeze it? [14:25] /dev/sdb1 * 1 3264 26218048+ 7 HPFS/NTFS [14:25] this one [14:25] i'm pretty sure [14:25] micoooo: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [14:26] ikonia: was a exact copy of ur paste - why i was confued = ty [14:26] soz for the lang [14:26] anyone know where the firefox bookmarks.html is at? [14:26] micoooo: So the winddows partition on the 40GB disk is a data partition? [14:26] hi [14:26] my update manager freezes eveytime i try to update [14:26] wraithan: now is as good of a time as any ;) [14:26] everytime [14:26] there's a 25GB partition, that's where the windows. 100% [14:26] plzzzz prive i am new acc [14:26] bazzieb, try sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade <--- in a terminal [14:27] Lynet, i guess [14:27] Chrysalis: it's in ~/.mozilla/firefox/somecrazystring.default/ [14:27] When I try and do my updates in Hardy I get errors such as: Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy-security/Release Unable to find expected entry web/binary-amd64/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?) [14:27] whats up with the power manager in ubuntu 8.04? It wouldnt suspend when it should have, it just shut down when the laptop was out of battery... [14:27] why? [14:28] sth is setting the hostname on my new hardy install to ubuntu. in /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname i only refer to this machine as mserver [14:28] also everytime i use sudo it comes up saying, sudo: unable to resolve host [hostname] [14:28] platinum: heh, its not for me, I am a dedicated arch user, but my friend wants to get started into linux so I am starting him on ubuntu [14:28] micoooo: I suggest you try this modification: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10918/ [14:28] bazzieb, there could be a problem in /etc/hosts [14:28] I've been in isolation for weeks now... so what's the word on 8.04? How does everyone like it! [14:28] i set it with hostname -v, and it was right for ~12 hours, not it is set to ubuntu again [14:28] Swish, I love it [14:28] Swish ----> #ubuntu-offtopic [14:28] what did you change? [14:29] micoooo: search for 'soundray' [14:29] wraithan: that's fair :) [14:29] micoooo: hd(1,0) instead of (0,0). [14:29] how do i get ubuntu to automatically allow me to access my windows partition (as i want amarok to access it when it runs)? [14:29] oh crap, late for work... [14:29] !hostname | bazzieb [14:29] bazzieb: 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 [14:29] Charbucks: yea i sas that one but theres no new books marks in it, its just the default once [14:29] charlie__, add the share to /etc/fstab [14:30] bazzieb: that factoid isn't exactly what I wanted, but do make sure you have an entry under your hostname in /etc/hosts [14:30] ikonia: hi .... I have tried following the documents you gave me but no avail .... did you find the other documentation? [14:30] aight [14:30] thanks [14:30] DRebellion: how do i do that? [14:30] cool thanks guys [14:30] brb,checking if it works [14:30] the updater is running under terminal as well [14:31] is there a support page for gutsy 64bit on what network harware is compatable [14:31] Lynet: isn't it strange that grub seems to see /dev/sdb as (hd0)? [14:31] soundray: i have a hostname prob too, /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname have mserver, but sth is changing it to "ubuntu" and sudo complains [14:31] please remind me the command to register [14:31] soundray: I know, had me headscratcy too.

I can't understand why sometimes I can't play mp3s. I ha codecs installed, indeed yesterday I could play mp3s, but now I can't. Every player I try, when I press play, crashes after a while. Is there anything I can check? [14:34] zetheroo: Get anything in the log when inserting the sd card? [14:34] charbucks: at /.mozilla? [14:34] Gnome sucks.

On the 7.10, beryl ran fine but when I enable the super wiz-bang FX in 8.04, it seems slugish. Is this normal? [14:43] Roque2: your using "windows" you mean.

Is this a known bug, or is there something I need to do that I don't know about?

Of course I will back up though. [14:48] hello [14:49] Hi, I have been having trouble with some games in hardy [14:49] can someone here private chat with me and help me out with the grub? I am fixing my system after the grub is wrongly installed [14:49] They all hang and eat proc when I try to quit [14:49] beebeentu: yes. It's even possible to install hardy 'over' gutsy without formatting / -- but I'm not sure I would want to do that if it was my system. [14:49] hi i have broken the kio-umountwrapper package, how can I remove it? [14:49] Chrysalis: you can use sqlite, but exporting is probably easier [14:50] Balachmar: you trying them in wine? [14:50] I just recently upgraded from gutsy to hardy; now, the "ordinary user" that I routinely used can't seem to do administrative tasks - the popup that used to ask for the admin password no longer pops up, and any application that wants it just sits waiting until I kill it or log out. Is this a known bug, or is there something I need to do that I don't know about? The Hardy install was via the update notification. [14:50] doug: No, native games. Like chromium or supertux2 [14:50] how can I receive web chat requests in pidgin ? [14:50] can any1 here help with cron? ive tried to set up a cron file looking like this "* 4,10,16,21 * * * sh ./home/pord/.change.sh" but it never runs the sh file at the time. I know the sh file works [14:51] Balachmar: ah sorry cant help you i dont use games in linux no more for the same reason you have [14:51] FT-Laptop: what happens when you try to use the command line [14:51] Pord: make ./home/pord/.change.sh executable and omit the sh [14:51] ikonia: Haven't tried it. This manifests, among other times, when I try to install the updates that the update manager notifies me of. [14:52] FT-Laptop: try the command line it may give better output/warning [14:52] ikonia: I've been working around it by logging in as root. [14:52] Pord: the leading . on ./home/pord/.change.sh looks wrong, too [14:52] ikonia: can you give me a sample command line to test with? I'm not that familiar with the shell. [14:52] soundray: i'm trying to mount that windows partition. http://paste.ubuntu.com/10915/ [14:52] it's sdb1. now when i try to mount it i get "Failed to mount '/dev/sdb1': Invalid argument. The device '/dev/sdb1' doesn't have a valid NTFS." [14:52] FT-Laptop: sudo apt-get update [14:52] k thanks [14:53] maybe it's somehow connected to my boot problem? [14:53] micooooo: could be. This sounds like bad news, to be honest [14:53] should it be marked as boot parition? [14:53] micooooo: no, grub ignores that flag [14:54] ikonia: Interesting response. The local machine's name is jzeitlin-linux; sudo says "sudo: unable to resolve host jzeitlin-linux" [14:54] micooooo: I mean, it doesn't matter [14:54] so i can remove it? [14:54] FT-Laptop: as I suspected [14:54] the flag [14:54] FT-Laptop: what you need to do is put your hostname in /etc/hosts and map it to a localhost (127.0.0.2) address [14:54] micooooo: just leave it as it is, in case you go back to a standard DOS MBR at some point [14:54] is there a way in which i can get gnome 2.22 onto gutsy? I dont want to upgrade to heron as I always have problems with stability with xorg and pulseaudio [14:55] Pord: not really [14:55] ok [14:55] Pord: have you solved your cron problem? [14:55] micooooo: i had some wierdness mounting NTFS, but it turned out that it complained because I didn't properly shut down windows, just pulled the plug-as usuall (because it's faster). [14:55] dont know till the time changes to when it is run [14:55] i really got no idea what to do then..

[14:56] micooooo: on the assumption that tovare is right, you could revert to a DOS MBR (just use any DOS-based rescue CD) and see if that lets Windows boot [14:56] ikonia: OK. I have 127.0.0.1 localhost and 127.0.1.1 jzeitlin-linux.mshome in there. Should I use the 127.0.0.2 you gave, or one of those, or something else entirely? [14:56] hello i have problam similar to this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/206635 it says i should add all_generic_ide as boot flag, is that hitting esc and then at boot: problt write: Ubuntu all_generic_ide ? [14:56] micooooo: The boot flag is really just used by the BIOS. Unless you manually select where to boot from, the BIOS will read the MBR from the first disk that is marked as bootable. Once grub is loaded, it goes by what is in menu.lst and doesn't care what disks are set as bootable. [14:56] won't it cause me any problem?

There is a great service called "Google" :) [15:00] nevermind im a retard i just needed to chmod my audio folder [15:00] soundray: Come to think of it, aomeone should feed ubottu with a link to a decent generic boot cd.

[15:01] Mudassar: you can start by not shouting [15:02] Mudassar, you can't pidgin does not support video [15:02] Mudassar: I THINK YOU CAN'T [15:02] hmmmm, so why are there useless (number of) plugins if this important feature is not there [15:02] ? [15:02] god i hate ubuntu on my mac pro, everytime i fiddle with anything, everything just dies [15:03] Mudassar, please have some respect for other people's work, have you done any development work for pidgin ? [15:03] micooooo: I don't have much experience, but I would start with FreeDOS. There is also something called UBD that I've used years ago (universal boot disk, I think) [15:03] aight, i'll go with freedos [15:03] I respect the useful work [15:03] if you dont need pidgin or it's plugins, don't use it, and keep some respect for the developers [15:04] micooooo: once you have a DOS system running, it's a matter of running 'fdisk /fixmbr'. Perhaps you want to disconnect one of your disks, so you know for sure which one you are operating on [15:04] if you need video support, use another application which is video capable and does not depend on proprieraty protocols/formats [15:04] does anyone know or bluefish has an autocompletion option? [15:04] micooooo: Anyway, not being able to mount ntfs is usually a sign of the file system in need of a chkdsk. === ReL1K__________ is now known as ReL1K [15:04] microwaver: kdevelop does ;-) [15:05] doug : Yeah I used envy to do the drivers and that worked still can't get effects to start !!! and I can't do 2 screens with 1280 X 1024 ... [15:05] After I "copy" or "cut" a files in gnome the "paste" option will remain unavailable, in other words the only way can copy or move files is by dragging, any idieas? [15:05] I think it is very common and every messenger provides this IMPORTANT feature.... so pidgin developers should have done something for it [15:05] gordonjcp, hmmm probably only for KDE? [15:05] i got 2 physical disks connected. one has both windows and ubuntu on it. the other one is just a data disk [15:05] !ot | Mudassar [15:05] Mudassar: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter.

Your BIOS and Ubuntu disagree about which one is the first disk in your system. [15:06] microwaver: mostly I just use gedit these days [15:06] look, criticism is not bad... it makes you encouraged and compels to rise high ... so be ready for it [15:06] What other cool commands like 'wall' is there on Ubuntu? :D [15:06] Mudassar: not the way you are doing, please take it to a more appropriate channel [15:06] Crashed: write [15:06] hi [15:06] i wish I could contribute to linux [15:07] Crashed: hard to respond, depends on your definition of cool [15:07] well i can remove the other data hd for now [15:07] Mudassar: perhsps you should do so before futher critisism [15:07] gordonjcp, yeah. but it makes typing faster :) [15:07] Crashed: there's also talk [15:07] :) [15:07] Neat. [15:07] gordonjcp, not long ago I was a dreamweaver user :P [15:07] Crashed: finger [15:07] microwaver: I never found code completion to be much help at all [15:07] Oh that one sounds useful. === kthakorePaint is now known as kthakore [15:07] i think it's the logical partitions that make the confusion [15:07] microwaver: it's one of the first things I always turned off [15:07] sir, why are you scared of criticism.... ??? pointing out some problem is better for the community .. [15:08] soundray: i had 2 names on the 127.0.1.1 line in hosts, the fqdn and the hostname. i removed the fqdn and rebooted. it is now set to mserver. I'll see how long it sticks. [15:08] microwaver: it never ever seemed to guess the right completion, ever [15:08] micooooo: no, not at all [15:08] Mudassar: this is not a pidgen developer channel [15:08] soundray: i rebooted as well [15:08] gordonjcp, well for HTML it's pretty handy. not for real development of course [15:08] yay, im getting an linux and ubuntu expert here :) so i can finally use ubuntu [15:08] slestak: good luck [15:08] I heard that pidgin is default in ubuntu [15:08] Mudassar, this is not the right channel for it, this channel is for Ubuntu support [15:08] Mudassar: ubuntu does not make pidgen [15:08] Mudassar: the fact that you don't know this suggests you should hold back on critisism [15:09] micooooo: logical vs. primary partitions never causes problems like yours [15:09] I don't have talk or finger.

[15:10] some body in this forum told me that pidgin is by default given with ubuntu... that's why I thought that .. [15:10] and see if windows work again?

[15:41] zeeeee: my cron jobs usually send me mail when they talk [15:41] i can sftp in it from gftp also.. but not through nautilus === anabolix is now known as sdfweri123 [15:42] zeeeee: or rather, I think cron does it on their behalf [15:42] which i know it used to dothat too === sdfweri123 is now known as anabolix [15:42] cl0s: if you can, use ssh from a terminal to attempt to ssh in. if that works, then yes perhaps something is screwey, but you want to make sure that it's not the server or your connection first [15:42] jonaskoelker, i don't think my system even knows what my email address is :0 [15:42] it says install location has no properties when I check the error console after loading firefox add ons [15:42] i ssh into it all the time.. [15:42] ssh'd into it right now.. [15:42] zeeeee: you automatically have one on your own box [15:42] and like i said i can use any other program to connect to the same box [15:42] jonaskoelker, where? [15:42] JusticeDude: are you trying to use synaptic to install these addons? [15:43] zeeeee: zeeeee@localhost [15:43] or any different box.. no ftp or sftp works at all through nautilus.. [15:43] zeeeee: look for the mails in ~/mbox, ~/dead_letters and /var/mail/zeeeee [15:43] Vlet: no, I was using the webpages. Is that wrong? [15:43] assuming your username is zeee...eee [15:43] :( i tried to run nautilus from terminal see if it spat anything out but it didnt do anything either.. [15:43] hey guys I have a problem with my wireless all of a sudden [15:43] zeeeee: you could also install mailx and type "mail" at the command prompt [15:43] it will connect to the ap if its un encrypted [15:43] although that particular mail client is sucky^W^H not my favorite [15:44] cl0s: well, it SHOULD work, so if it is infact a bug, then there's nothing we can do. I say you check https://launchpad.net/ubuntu for the bug or file it [15:44] jonaskoelker, thanks! [15:44] it was in /var/mail [15:44] JusticeDude: no, just making sure that's what you were doing :) [15:44] brodcom bcmw [15:44] zeeeee: welcome :) [15:44] the wireless works on my other laptop [15:44] anyone in here knows their apt-key onions? [15:45] yea thanks vlet.. someone already reported it.. [15:45] was just checking if there was something that hasnt got back to there here.. [15:46] i followed http://www.ubuntugeek.com/sharing-internet-connection-in-ubuntu.html but it didnt worked for me. how can i revert? [15:46] thanks anyway @ Vlet [15:46] JusticeDude: hmm... perhaps you should try moving your ~/.mozilla and/or ~/.firefox directories to a temporary location (better than deleting em and regretting it) [15:47] cl0s: life's hard :) [15:47] Vlet: okay, how do I get to the directories? [15:47] mistiipu: aptitude purge dnsmasq; echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward [15:47] mistiipu: oh, and aptitude purge ipmasq [15:47] I am tempted to update to Ubuntu 8.04 from 7.10, but does it really worth the update? Are the configuration files, and preferences stay unchanged? [15:47] JusticeDude: in nautilus options, turn on viewing of hidden files/folders [15:47] JusticeDude: ~/ means 'your home' [15:47] mistiipu: also, do an iptables -t nat -F POSTROUTING [15:48] i just had the wierdest sitch.. last night i noticed my system clock to be incorrect, so i created a ntpdate file. the whole day though I've been trying and trying to load and ping google.com. craziest thing is i wasn't able to. I deleted ntpdate and voila, everything back to normal. any ideas as to why this happened? [15:48] idzied:8.04 is great [15:48] mistiipu: if stuff goes wrong after the last thing, reboot; that should make "everything" "normal" :) [15:48] Hello all, I have a problem with a pubkey auth and sftp, can someone help me ? [15:48] Vlet: how do I get to nautilus options? Sorry, again I am very new to ubuntu. [15:48] jonasbjork thanks ALOT [15:48] sudo apt-get install steam [15:49] thiebaude: I trust you, but will Apche, MySQL and PHP stay the same? Is there any kind of change?

I'm trying to get it work with keychain, put when I connect to the server by sftp, it ask me a password, or a passphrase. When I give it the passphrase, it says "Connection close" [15:50] can someone tell me how to manually configure a wireless network adapter in ubuntu? [15:50] JusticeDude: Just open your home folder and look in the menu's (I'm just on a terminal at the moment via a mac, so I can't check for you ;) [15:51] !wireless | bogey- [15:51] bogey-: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [15:51] thiebaude: Sounds scary... I would like to update them separately when I feel like doing it, are you %100 percent that it doesn't change any configuration file? I mean the packets will be upgraded, but it shouldn't change the configuration, or permissions , groups etc.. Is that correct? [15:51] bogey- : use iwconfig, check man iwconfig for more information [15:52] So, can someone help me :/ ? [15:52] !help > Vlet [15:52] arakthor: yes I know but the problem is there is alot more to figure out than that, plus you would need to do a manual route add [15:52] d'oh, ubotu's down [15:52] JusticeDude: there are some under the "edit" menu and more in gconf-editor [15:52] idzied:i have to say i dont know much about server apps, nothing is 100%:p [15:52] I'm trying to use the "mount" command to get info on which formatting is used on my ubuntu server disk, however I'm not sure how to read the output of the command. Anyone got a hint or a link? [15:53] thiebaude: I will ask in the respective channels then, just in case ;) [15:53] blue112, one moment [15:53] hi [15:53] bogey- : ah, sorry. can't help you further than that :( once the gnome wireless applet started having reasonable success rates I stopped trying on the cli [15:53] Ok. [15:53] idzied:kewl [15:53] can anyone help me please? [15:53] I need some help again in setting up this LAMP Server. I have reset the entire system, I have installed LAMP server via TASKSEL. I now have no PHP support, and no postgresql support. Can someone help me? [15:53] thiebaude: Cheers for your positive energy ;D [15:53] :( [15:53] idzied:always [15:53] blue112, did u mean key*chain* or key*ring* [15:53] keychain [15:54] bbl after work [15:54] AngryAnt: try: sudo fdisk -l [15:54] blue112, and what was the error prompt u got exactly? [15:54] maxfive5: Don't ask to ask. Just ask :) [15:54] ok sorry [15:54] babolat: With the verbose option ? [15:54] bennyf11: Did you a2enmod php ? And then restart the apache daemon? [15:54] i've just install ubuntu 8.04 but i have a big problem... [15:54] For files exectude with cron, does having #!/bin/bash or #!/bin/sh mess it up? [15:54] blue112, yes please.. paste it if u cud [15:55] Ok [15:55] !paste [15:55] 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) [15:55] arakthor: the only problem is that with the gnome applet you cannot manually configure a wireless ip address and connect to a non encrypted network [15:55] internet is really slow [15:55] Pici: I have no idea. Im sort of new to this. All I have done is installed the LAMP server via TASKSEL [15:55] Vlet: okay sorry, I'm a little lost. I'm in the home folder but what am I looking for again >.< [15:55] thiebaud: Maybe I will risk myself, and get mad fixing a couple of days, or, just be surprised of the quality and stability of the Debianish OSs [15:56] bennyf11: run this: sudo a2enmod php5 [15:56] JusticeDude: there should be two folders: ".mozilla" and perhaps a ".firefox" - rename them to something like: ".mozilla-backup" and ".firefox-backup" then try starting up firefox again [15:56] Pici: done [15:56] babolat: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10936/ [15:56] bennyf11: sudo invoke-rc.d apache2 restart === vincent_ is now known as Solo [15:56] bogey-: I don't have my laptop here, so I may be forgetting, but isn't there a way to manually configure your connection is you right click on the applet and select either 'edit wireless networks' or 'manually configure blah' ? [15:57] blue112, ok.. one moment [15:57] Pici: not sure if you have any control over such things, but ubotu seems to be down [15:57] Vlet: okay, that changed something. I'm going to try the addons again [15:57] Pici: Great. Thats the PHP stuff sorted. Now i need to get postgresql sorted. When I install it i get some dependency errors. Can you help with that? [15:57] Vlet: Yes, it is, use ubottu instead [15:57] !ubottu | Vlet [15:57] Vlet: 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 ;) [15:58] /msg ubottu etiquette [15:58] bennyf11: What sort of errors? [15:58] oh =D [15:58] bennyf11: Can you !pastebub them?

Connection closed [15:59] /msg ubottu etiquette [15:59] blue112, i do not see the "Connection Closed" error u mentioned, nor anything that could help us go on.. what is that other error? [15:59] nishoe: you're putting an extra space for the / or your client doesnt support proper slash commands [15:59] Is there a way to restore (in hardy) my sources.list file back to defaults? [15:59] JusticeDude: no problem - unless you had important bookmarks or something, you can just delete those directories you renamed now [15:59] babolat: I paste it. [15:59] i am using pidgin [16:00] Pici : and there is no space before the / [16:00] pici: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/10938/ [16:00] babolat: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10939/ [16:00] bennyf11: Is this Hardy? [16:00] I'm getting this exact error: http://paste-it.net/public/n9275fd Any ideas? [16:00] blue112, reading [16:00] Pici: Yes [16:00] I made a ßöö ßöö..I was trying to install RutilT and the instructions said remove network manager then install RutilT ..but now network manager is gone ..I can't get-apt the RutilT ..how can I get network manager back? add/remove just hangs [16:01] babolat: It says "debug1: Authentication succeeded (publickey).", but it still doesn't work... [16:01] can anyone help me with setting WINS under ubuntu 8.04? [16:02] nishoe: specific questions are easier to answer in IRC [16:02] bennyf11: Does apt-get install postgresql-8.3 give you any more informative errors? [16:02] blue112, what exactly are u trying to access/do with this command? [16:03] so my gui got fubarred, fortunatly a file manager window happened to be open and i could navigate to my irc client through /usr/bin but all my bars are gone and i cant run any programs, how can I get them back, i just want them so i can try to upgrade to hardy and hopefully it will fix all this [16:03] Does anybody else in hardy (64bit) have a problem checking for updates with the update manager or even apt? http://paste-it.net/public/m6952cc/ Is my problem [16:03] babolat: I'm trying to upload file to the server, with sftp. [16:03] blue112, can u successfully ping that server? [16:04] Vlet: I just want to enter a WINS address to my wireless network settings... under 'Manual Configuration' there is not option to set it up [16:04] Pici: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/10942/ [16:04] babolat: I think I can yes... [16:04] xim: it probably won't. all those settings are kept in your /home/yourusername directory, and the upgrade won't over-write your settings.. how mad would you be if you had things set up all nice and the updater set everything to default :) [16:04] babolat: Yes, no problem. [16:04] blue112, meet me in #babolat [16:04] vlet ok thats true, but still im dead in the water until I can get my menu bars back [16:05] Ok. [16:05] xim, you mean your desktop menu got zorked? [16:05] xim: (Pici, if might be good if you verify this...) if you do "rm -Rf ~/.gnome*" that should reset ALL your gnome settings... [16:05] yes [16:05] ok thats exactly what i wanna do thanks [16:05] xim [16:06] anyone have my same problem? [16:06] yes? [16:06] xim, right-click on your desktop panel and select "Add to panel..." [16:06] there is no panel thats the problem [16:06] So does anyone know where WINS could be entered while setting up a Network Connection? [16:06] xim, wait... instead of deleting them, how about you do: mkdir gnomebackup && mv ~/.gnome* ./gnomebackup/ [16:06] i've install ubuntu 8.04 but internet connection runs very slow [16:07] Vlet, that sounds very desperate. [16:07] compiz.real has been eating 100% of my processor recently, and i was jacking with it trying to and i killed it, then i tried to run it manually in a terminal which didnt work right, then i closed the terminal and haha just dont ever do that [16:07] bennyf11: Looks like theres a bug logged for that (bug 225125) the workaround is to: sudo chmod 740 /var/lib/postgresql/8.3/main/server.key then sudo apt-get install -f [16:07] Launchpad bug 225125 in postgresql "postgresql problem with server.key permissions" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/225125 [16:07] k yeah ill back it up [16:07] then what? just restart x?

[16:08] Jafet: yeah... probably not my best idea all day :p [16:08] mw-home, #firefox might help you. [16:08] anyone know how i can fix this ? [16:09] what should i do after I kill my .gnome directory? just restart? [16:09] doug_, try stepping back your updates, then install them one by one so that you could trace the cause [16:09] xim, I don't think that's a good idea. [16:09] ikonia: hi there! I did it! [16:09] anyone use intellij here? if so..do you run it using IDEA_JDK=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk [16:09] no one with any clue as to where WINS could be entered in a network connection? [16:09] mw-home: if you are using ubuntu packages please file a bug or see #ubuntu-mozillateam later today im off for a while and the rest of the team is away atm [16:09] Know any good burning sofwore that handels .iso and .img ? [16:10] xim, random guess, find a terminal and gksudo alacarte [16:10] babolat: im a noob so please can u walk me through it? [16:10] Pici: Now that I have installed it, I cannot update it via pgAdmin. Is there a default username/password assigned to the Postgresql service?? [16:10] xim, hmm, wait, might be the wrong application. [16:10] does anyone remeber how to activate the root user on ubuntu? [16:10] ct529: You don't want to [16:10] Fontforge crashes more in Ubuntu than in Windows+Cygwin+Xming X server, mainly due to it unable to find bitmap glyphs of the right size in WenQuanYi ZenHei. What should I do? [16:10] I forgot again and cannot find on the wiki [16:10] doug_, one moment [16:10] Flannel: I actually want to [16:11] ct529: Why? [16:11] nishoe: sorry, had to afk... if you take a look at your /etc/samba/smb.conf file, the settings for it are in there [16:11] bennyf11: I dont know, I actually can't recall the last time I've even use pgsql [16:11] jafet, yeah alacarte runs but it configures the menus, problem is they arent showing [16:11] Know any good burning sofwore that handels .iso and .img ? [16:11] xim, you can configure the menu but it doesn't show up? [16:11] Vlet: so I have to install samba? [16:11] Flannel: because this sudo idea is rubbish, I have been administering linux machines for 5+ years [16:11] yeah i have no panels [16:11] Flannel: and think &$%£%^^^ about this sudo thing (very insecure as well) [16:11] ct529: How is sudo less secure than a root account? [16:11] ct529: dont you set the root password, then type su at command prompt [16:11] hey, is us.archive.ubuntu.com going slow for anyone? [16:11] i really think killing my gnome directory is what i should do [16:12] nishoe: I'm pretty sure you do [16:12] ct529: I imagine you're just misunderstanding how sudo works [16:12] bennyf11: I do not remember actually .... [16:12] babolat: please no links the tech stuff goes over my head when i try to read them. [16:12] jevangelo: for many it is [16:12] assuming it rebuilds automatically that is [16:12] i might end up just having to format linux [16:12] dude, its taking me so long to get java5-jdk [16:12] doug_, ok.. just he [16:12] bennyf11: thanks! [16:12] from the archives [16:13] Now I realize there isn't a create panel option in the desktop context menu. [16:13] ct529: all good, glad i could help :) [16:13] Vlet: thanks a lot... just wanted to know if there was a way to do it without installing anything... with a fresh install [16:13] Is there one in Gusty or Hardy? [16:13] bennyf11: do you remeber how to authorise graphic log in from root? [16:13] How do i burn .img files? [16:13] xim, Vlet's option sounds a lot saner. [16:13] ct529: its under Login Window, in Administration [16:14] two machines running the same OS, aptitude dist-upgrade reports everything up to date, but there's 2 different versions of unison on them [16:14] <_kevin_> if i went out and purchased a usb dvd burner, what would i need to do to make it work in ubuntu? [16:14] Vikketorr: depends what they are, are they just .iso files? [16:14] nishoe: well, it's a windows networking related thing... I think if you were to try to share a folder on a windows network, ubuntu would automatically install samba for you [16:14] ct529: under the security tab :) [16:14] xim, as a last resort, I would create a brand new user account and move everything over. [16:14] wamty: did you do "apt-get update" first on voth? [16:14] Is anyone chinese? [16:14] both? [16:14] its more than just the panels, everything in my gnome and compiz has been acting crazy recently, so yeah im just gonna blow it all away, and i have my home folder backed up on an external drive, so worst comes to worst ill just reformat with hardy from scratch [16:14] jevangelo: you need to find a mirror [16:14] ct529: Graphical login with root? You've got to be kidding me. [16:14] how do I create a ufw rule to drop traffic from somewhere and not log it? (ie I'm on a windows network and don't want to fill up my logs with the broadcasted traffic) [16:14] Can someone help me with a sftp connection with pubkey auth, with ssh-agent ? [16:14] no its a .img file [16:14] !help > Vlet [16:14] !cn | klanicpesudy [16:14] klanicpesudy: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [16:15] there's someone whos been blagging the last 5 years [16:15] Vikketorr: a .img file could be anything [16:15] Vlet: Is that so? I am installing samba now. [16:15] babolat: can u meet me in room #wwed please so i wont miss what you say. [16:15] ferret_ ! same ferret from shroomery? [16:15] ok guess its a .iso [16:15] yea I did [16:15] yea I did [16:15] _kevin_: If you know which DVD-drive you want to get look for it in combination with ubuntu or linux in google, you will probably find someone describing his experience/difficulties [16:15] Flannel: its a good thing to know... wouldnt do it all the time [16:15] !repomirror | jevangelo [16:15] jevangelo: Go to "System", "Administration", and "Software Sources" and choose "Other" from the drop down box. Then choose "select best server" and your system will choose the fastest mirror for you automatically. [16:16] blue112: if you started ssh-agent then ran ssh-add, I believe sftp should be able to use that agent automatically, I know ssh and slogin do [16:16] xim: no [16:16] ah k [16:16] Any ideas please? [16:16] two machines running the same OS, aptitude dist-upgrade reports everything up to date, but there's 2 different versions of unison on them [16:16] apt-cache show on both machines reports: Version: 2.13.16-9 [16:16] THIS machine shows the installed version as: unison version 2.27.57 [16:16] Is there anyone who is able to assist with setup of postgresql server on pgAdmin [16:17] bennyf11: No, it's a horrible, horrible thing. Especially because it tells me that he hasn't really been adminnig boxes for 5 years, and probably doesn't understand the root/sudo thing; and is enabling root because he doesn't know what he's doing. [16:17] bennyf11: what is the problem? [16:17] What to do please? [16:17] bennyf11: with postgresql [16:17] any suggestions? === gavin__ is now known as kingvin [16:17] guess its a .iso [16:18] ct529: im trying to login to the server using pgadmin, i dont know the details however. i dont think i specified them!

[16:23] amenado....i have XP in the vmware...evrything works perfect except its not picking up my wireless card [16:23] SliM1: why do you think this? [16:23] hi all [16:23] il-2 in wine doesnt recognize joystick F-23, in calibration utility out of wine it works! [16:23] and reinstalling is not a very pleasent option, since my bios is broken [16:24] Kingvin-> your guest is XP ? and host is ubuntu? [16:24] bennyf11: reinstalling could be a good idea if you messed up config what is the version [16:24] hello [16:24] I'm having mount errors while booting Hardy Heron, and it keeps dropping me into BusyBox (the built in shell) .. can anyone help? [16:24] amenado...yh [16:24] SliM1: it's broken? [16:24] ct529, how do i do that?? i have tried doing in in synaptic and using apt-get, but i still cant get it to work [16:24] no [16:24] Kingvin-> what exactly do you meant by bridging vmware with wireless? can you clarify, as this statement does not make sense [16:24] Vlet: well, it's quite simple: a failed upgrade [16:25] Vlet: yes, it's broken :)) [16:25] SliM1: and why can't you reinstall? [16:25] I'm having mount errors while booting Hardy Heron, and it keeps dropping me into BusyBox (the built in shell) .. can anyone help? [16:25] hello, I'm looking to turn an old x86 sony 505TS into an internet appliance. Can someone tell me if there is a version of ubuntu suited for this? [16:25] Vlet: because i can't boot from a cd [16:25] experienced with il-2 in wine? [16:26] amenado...ok forget that....how can i make the wireless work in XP [16:26] SliM1: Well, what happens when you boot up? [16:26] is there a seperate Wubi channel? [16:26] hic: you mean hl2? [16:26] #ubuntu-it [16:26] Kingvin-> you are in ubuntu channel this is not xp support channel [16:26] hic: check the !appdb or ask in #winehq [16:26] bennyf11: have you tried dpkg-reconfigure postgresql? [16:26] umm how can i create a launcher to a java application ? [16:27] ct529: yes i have, but i get no prompts, no nothing [16:27] I'm having mount errors while booting Hardy Heron, and it keeps dropping me into BusyBox (the built in shell) .. can anyone help? [16:27] >mono no, il-2 sturmovik - the game [16:27] the normal way doesen't work :( [16:27] Vlet: well, GDM starts pretty nicely, but when i log in an X session, compiz is broken, nautilus won't work for more than a fraction of a second, my icons on the desktop are nowhere to be found, etc. [16:27] amenado.....i kno this....do you use VMware? [16:27] Paulie_-> can you run the app from a terminal? what is the commadn you used to run it? [16:27] Kingvin-> yes, i have used vmware [16:27] ok I need help my wireless only works with encryption off or on wpa personal not wpa2 [16:27] bennyf11: could you please wait a sec I have a problem with a virtual machine, come back soon [16:28] Danish989: Please try running chkdsk in Windows (start -> run -> cmd -> chkdsk /F /R -> reboot into Windows twice, then boot back into Ubuntu) [16:28] Evand: I've already tried that [16:28] HOw difficult would it be to convert a kdm theme to a gdm theme? e.g. http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/Liquid_Splash?content=71635 to a gdm theme? [16:28] amenado: i cant run it in a terminal unless i right-click it and choose run in terminal [16:28] evand: I have an error log and a complete problem description at the ubuntu forums, do you mind looking at my thread? its right here : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4910744 [16:28] Vlet: that's pretty much enough to get me depressed, but there probably is more, but i didn't have the patience to find out what all of the other problems are [16:29] ok I need help my wireless only works with encryption off or on wpa personal not wpa2 [16:29] Paulie_-> why can you not run this app from a terminal? did you create the program your self? [16:29] Danish989: Agostino has already replied. [16:29] no [16:29] ct529: thanks fro your help [16:29] and with the WPA on it only works on my work laptop witch iw windows [16:29] amenado: the program's name is Hattrick Organizer [16:29] evand: Yeah, but can you look at the problem from your perspective and give me some answers at the moment please? [16:29] Is there anyone else who can assist with reinstalling a postgresql server [16:29] SliM1: Well, perhaps you could hit ctrl-alt-f1 and log in, then do: "sudo useradd test" to make a new user. then hit ctrl-alt-f7 to go back to the gui and log in as that user to see if it's maybe just your accounts settings that are screwed uo [16:30] I use ffmpeg to convert my 350MB 4min screencast to flv, but the flv video comes out as really poor quality. I'm using q=31 ... [16:30] Paulie_-> where is this located? ie the full path of Hattrick Organizer? [16:30] the screencast is in avi [16:30] Danish989: we need more information from you, which is exactly what Ago requested. If you are looking for an alternative to what he requested, try booting into recovery mode, that should print any errors to the screen. [16:30] hi :/ i get problem "fopen(0) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied" when my php scripts tries to create a file, how can i chown the file to be allowed to create files? [16:30] Vlet: ok, i'll try that. any way to upgrade from the command line? [16:30] bennyf11: what version of ubuntu are you using [16:30] Danish989: err rather, we need more information from your system [16:30] evand: so do you want the complete boot log? [16:30] upgrade as in upgrade to hardy [16:31] amenado: /host/paul/HO/HO.sh [16:31] Kingvin-> to help you understand a little bit, maybe you need to do some tutorial on how vmware works [16:31] Danish989: that would help, but please follow up in ubuntuforums. [16:31] oh, and the sound doesn't come out right. [16:31] In Gnome when I do a "clean up by name" on the desktop the Trash Icon does not stay on the left with "Computer, Home, etc..." is there anyway to change this behavior [16:31] evand: how do I print out the boot log in the ubuntu forums? [16:31] I assume it is because Gnome doesn't see the "Trash" as a folder [16:31] lusius: the user the script (or apache) is running as has to have write access to the directory you're trying to put files in [16:31] Paulie_-> so its a script calling a java program right? you can see whats inside Ho.sh if you like to confirm.. [16:32] lusius: the www-data user needs to have write access to the directory in question [16:32] Vlet: and what will the password be for that user [16:32] ? [16:32] got a flickering screen, maybe more like latency with my new 8800gtx card.. anyone got this card working stable in 8.04? [16:32] I'm trying to run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg on hardy. When I do, it totally skips the video configuation part, and jumps straight to keyboard. How do I force it to start at the beginning? [16:32] Vlet, ouch, isn't that a vuln? [16:32] SliM1: make one up! [16:32] evand: not print out, sorry, I mean how do I copy the whole boot log over there? [16:32] my gui login screen is looping back to itself kubuntu 7.10 [16:32] Danish989: I don't follow. When you boot in recovery mode (hit escape at grub and select the second option), it should eventually error out, printing the failure message to the screen. You can either record that and type it into a new post or take a picture of it and attach it to the thread. [16:33] hi,can someone tell, if "mv" move File checks, if the file is really the same, what is the cp command used to copy, before the stuff is deleted ? [16:33] Vlet: and, doesn't gnome-terminal work just as well as alt+ctrl+f1? [16:33] lusius: well, the user/group that the script is running as is www-data, so that user needs to somehow be allowed to write to the disk [16:33] ok i'm very lost, i've removed users from their own groups (eg user1 is no longer in group user1) yet newly created files are still under user1 group, how do i make newly created files to be owned by the users' default group? [16:33] bennyf11: try psql -v, it should give you the version if I remeber well [16:33] evand: that's what I was asking, sorry if I didn't make any sense. Thank you :) [16:33] SliM1: sure [16:33] Danish989: no worries and you're welcome. Best of luck! [16:33] evand: thank you! [16:33] Vlet: how do i add a password to a user? [16:34] SliM1: sudo passwd [username] [16:34] SliM1: it should ask you for one [16:34] amenado: ....thanx....but Bridge is a common term used in VMware [16:34] Vlet, i tried to run mozilla as root and executed the script, that is written by root, same problem [16:35] amenado: yes [16:35] Kingvin yes it is, but you need to understand what it meant [16:35] lusius: Mozilla is not running the script, your webserver is [16:35] Vlet: it does, brb [16:35] * ct529 ping bennyf11 [16:35] ct529: i get invalid syntax [16:36] Vlet: what's the command for user switching? (the software "Quit" button never worked for my gutsy) [16:36] Pici, xD shees i forgot., ssc [16:36] What is a good JVM to install. [16:36] the java5-jdk package [16:36] bennyf11: psql --version or --help I do not remember [16:37] bennyf11: as soon as I finshed this installtion I reinstall psql and give you a proper answer :D [16:37] lusius: no, that won't work. it's not WHO is viewing the page that matters - when a request comes in to the web server for that script, apache will launch the php executable and have it parse that script. apache runs as the www-data user, therefore if you want your script to make or write to a file, www-data user or group needs to have permission to do so. [16:37] ct529: i have the version, i just cannot connect [16:37] Paulie_-> can you not open a terminal? and then /pathto/HO/Ho.sh ? [16:37] SliM1: just hit ctrl-alt-backspace [16:37] I just finished installing hardy. Got all updates. Installed the restricted nvidia drivers provided by ubuntu. Desktop effects are working, however I am limited to resolution of 640x480 on a 19" monitor. Dpkg-reconfigure skips video configuration and goes right to the keyboard part. What can I do? [16:38] bennyf11: what version is it [16:38] Vlet: fine [16:38] bennyf11: is the psql server running [16:38] thingfish-> you can edit the xorg.conf file manually and see if any resolution you can add to the selections [16:38] thingfish Dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [16:39] <[T]an2> I am having issues getting some packages updated... can anyone assist me? This is what I have tried to do so far to resolve it and the output i got: http://pastebin.com/d7ba2b393 [16:39] spideyman: Like I said above, dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg skips video configuration. [16:39] in 8.04 i cant go more than 1024*768 in screen resolution ??? i have nvidia geforce 256m and Samsung17" [16:39] ct529: i really dont know. Im really new to this :) [16:39] nvidia-settings is unusable [16:40] [T]an2: you need to use sudo to do that... for example: sudo apt-get install somepackage [16:40] <[T]an2> even if i am logged in as super user?

[16:41] is Ubuntu 8.04 considered stable? I don't seem to find it as such. [16:42] Should I install 7.10? [16:42] <[T]an2> tried... that was the first attempt on line one [16:42] bennyf11: and show me the ouptut [16:42] [T]an2: no, it wasn't. [16:42] !upgrades > xim [16:42] ct529: i get unsupported sysv option [16:42] #ubuntu rocks \o/ [16:42] bennyf11: I am rebooting see you in a few seconds [16:42] kk [16:43] Trae: 7.10 works well, but 8.04 is a lot nicer, i wouldn't mind a slight instability [16:43] <[T]an2> void^:: http://pastebin.com/d484498fd === Mateo is now known as Mat1 [16:43] SliM1: well, I think you should prioritize getting your system to boot off a CD. Asking how to fix a "broken" install on irc is kind of like asking a mechanic for an estimate on a "crashed" car. === Mat1 is now known as Mateo [16:43] so, how can I force dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg to start at the beginning, where the video configuration part is? [16:43] Vlet: well, how can i upgrade using the terminal [16:44] ? [16:44] SliM1, when you are trying to get work done.. instability !=good; [16:44] I installed jdk6 and I still can't use sun.misc.BASE64Decoder() [16:44] SliM1: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [16:44] any suggestions? [16:44] Trae: then 7.10 would be suited for you for another month or two [16:44] good day community [16:44] odinsbane-> is it in your CLASSPATH? [16:45] [T]an2: libmjpegtools0c2a is a different package. [16:45] ah, dist-upgrade, thanks [16:45] SliM1, heh... yeah, I'm going to punish myself and try and install 8.04 again :( [16:45] SliM1, in hopes the little green goblins smile on me today. [16:45] amenado I haven't added anything to my class path. [16:46] <[T]an2> void^: right... i need to fix all of this... [16:46] this is pretty much unacceptable, given my display worked great in gutsy [16:46] odinsbane-> well you know, to find the libraries it must be in the CLASSPATH so look into it [16:46] hi all, i was following this tutorial: http://ph.ubuntuforums.com/showthread.php?s=49ae9afe680beaf4d543b1bc12bb01a5&t=769990 to get my presario's wifi working, but still NOT working, tried ndiswrapper, fwcutter, and wpacompilant... nothing [16:46] which driver i have use with NVIDIA Geforce fx5500 ??? [16:46] is there a way to completely flush out wifi settings and have it scan for wifi and start over? [16:46] Vlet: well, it's checking for hardy repositories, though there is barely any hardy in my ubuntu yet, so it's worse than i thought :)); Thanks [16:46] ben [16:47] Has anyone else recently installed openoffice.org 3?

[16:49] My question [16:49] http://mibbit.com/pb/cODN8f [16:49] Just wanted to ask how can I put in my feature request. [16:49] is there a way to force redection of video hardware? [16:49] amenado I'm not sure what libraries I should be looking for? [16:49] I know its a bit OT , just throwin it out there [16:49] SliM1, yeah I was runnijng 7.04 and just backuped my files and nuked and installed clean the first time (yesterday) [16:49] I got my X not working anymore, after a package install that stopped working due to / filling up (not sure if it's related), X considers all fontdirs as 'bad' and therefor doesn't find the 'fixed' font and thus no go. I've reinstalled the xfonts* packages already, as well as xserver-xorg-core and friends, but still no go, strace/ltrace do not show me anything as to why the fontdirs are discarted (they exist, have fonts in them and have the fonts.dir/font [16:49] *redetection [16:49] why I installed wine and have the .menu in /etc/xdg/menus it still is not displayed in the menu? [16:50] [T]an2: perhaps we should figure out which of the 2 libmjpegtools packages has to die. where do libmjpegtools0, lives, mjpegtools and transcode come from? seems to be some 3rd party repo. [16:50] I dont understand why people prefer to do an upgrade instead of a fresh install of hardy... [16:50] is there a way to completely flush out wifi settings and have it scan for wifi and start over. My home wifi network stopped working a few day's ago.... [16:50] SliM1, had some X and mouse issues and nuked it and tried Fedora. heh I'm running back to Ubuntu.

[16:50] I am trying to access my music share (running on XP) from Ubuntu 8.04. My url in Nautilus is "smb://xp-machine/music$" When I try to access this, I get "The folder contents could not be displayed. Sorry, couldn't display all the contents of "music$ on xp-machine": Invalid argument" I can access this folder is I remove all but 34 folders. If I select some random folder and increase the number of folders to 35, I always get this message. I have tried [16:50] XDS2010: probably not the right channel for this question [16:50] babolat thats not convenience when far too many faults during upgrade [16:50] SliM1, I was really upset with display problems the first time around though. I hope that was just a fluke. [16:51] Belisarivs: They're logged in the same manner as a bug [16:51] anyhoo afk [16:51] sun.misc.BASE64Decoder() so that should lead me to a jar file or directory?

[16:52] Belisarivs: Yes, if you have more questions about the bug/feature submission process, best to ask in #ubuntu-bugs [16:52] amenado, couldn't agree more [16:52] odinsbane-> is that where you are having exceptions?

[16:59] a .rpm package [16:59] odinsbane-> since you are in the learning process of java, perhaps #java channel is more appropiate rather than ubuntu [16:59] Why the OSS server doesn't support multiple inputs is beyond me... [16:59] CShadowRun: isnt' there any #firefox channel ?? !! [16:59] if debian supports ff2 yet, maybe i will grab a deb [17:00] Trae: Some of them are needed, others not so much. If you're looking for a lightweight desktop environment, then gnome isnt the way to go [17:00] well [17:00] odinsbane-> may i suggest the undernet #java folks, freenode java folks are brutal to newbies [17:00] google-bot this is an OS problem, not a firefox problem. [17:00] hi all... is it possible that stdio.h is no found? O_O [17:00] It's to do with OSS and ALSA conflicting. [17:00] alien converts rpm to deb [17:00] Zorlin: Ubuntu does not use rpm packages.

However, I have installed the newest version (v2.16.3). I don't understand the reccomandations the ./configure script gives me.

[17:20] pen: thinking [17:20] * mrpockets <3 compiz [17:20] jewjew: Try asking in #firefox on irc.mozilla.org [17:20] ok and how to install it plz??? [17:20] Nitr0: are you sure you have flash installed? [17:20] Hi all. I m trying to borrow the license for matlab. first i have to navigate to the $MATLAB\etc\ folder, where specifies your Unix (or Mac) platform. i ve tried cd "$MATLAB\etc\i686" but it is givin the error: No such file or directory [17:20] Pici, let me tell you some more. This occured after I manually delete the menu entry because it's remaining there on the menu. [17:20] thanks in advance [17:21] Pici, then after I clear the menu and reinstall again [17:21] Pici, the menu is not there [17:21] Pici: I have, and on the #firefox channel on freenode. I guess I'll try there again [17:21] jewjew: Not on freenode, on irc.mozilla.org [17:21] Pici, before I manually delete the menu, the menu remains on the application menu after I uninstall wine [17:21] i have a shockwave flash plugin installed [17:21] Pici, any ideas? [17:21] Nitr0: $ sudo apt-get install konqueror [17:21] Pici: I know, I've tried both [17:22] Is there some trick to getting Ubuntu (hardy) to read a CD in UDF format? Everytime I try it fails on me [17:22] Nitr0: in what ways are you not able to access those site stated above? [17:22] Pici: There's a firefox channel on freenode too. It's usually mire responsive [17:22] sstchur, yeah, convert it so .iso [17:22] guys if anyone has time for my question i ll be very thankfull [17:22] mrpockets: does that mean UDF is simply not supported? Nothing you can do about it? [17:23] no idea [17:23] yousif: We don't support questionably legal things like that. [17:23] Does anyone happen to know? If UDF support is possible? [17:23] the page loads but it shows a big "play" icon and when i press it it does nothing === roxahris_ is now known as roxandSLEEP [17:24] Pici, is it too hard for you? [17:24] anyone know where to find the screenrecord plugin for compiz? [17:24] Hello :) I've been trying to install xmms (because i can't get a console alarm clock script to work with amarok), but I keep getting this error msg (http://paste.ubuntu.com/10958/) after running ./configure. I can't understand the solution it's giving me (where to find those folders/files etc). I have 2.16.3 of glib installed. Would appreciate any assistance [17:24] pen: I'm thinking about it, you can continue to ask the channel while I do. [17:24] What you can do instead is use the SUID bit. Run `chmod 4711` on the file, then chown to root. That sets the permissions to execute by everyone, read by owner (root) only, but assume the identity of the owner when it is run. Make sure your program is relatively bomb-proof, unless security isn't a big deal where you work. [17:24] rtm1981, isn't xmms available in the regular repositories? [17:24] how can i find which package provides libmp3lame ? [17:24] node357: Not as of Hardy. [17:25] ugh [17:25] Pici: thank you for your reply. it is totally legal. you can check the procedure for license borrowing on matlab site. www.mathworks.com/support/solutions/files/s1-1AEML/borrowing.pdf [17:25] anyone here know why manually delete menu entry would result in no menu created after purge and install the same app? [17:25] node357: I'm running newest ubuntu so if someone had asked me before I checked I would've been sure the answer was a yes... but as of yet i have not found it. I keep finding "xmms2" and such though but unsure how they work [17:26] node357: they seem to be more adaptations that require xmms to be installed [17:26] Hello, is there a way I can automount my ntfs usb drive so that I dont have to, everytime i want to listen to my music? >.> (YES I know I can open nautilius and just click it, but thats annoying. I want it mounted when I log in) [17:26] I don't have Ubuntu installed, I'm going to install it now and see if I can get xmms working [17:26] Mimi: add it to your fstab [17:26] back in a bit [17:27] node357: wow, you don't have to go through all that trouble m8 :) [17:27] anyone here know why manually delete menu entry would result in no menu created after purge and install the same app? [17:27] jewjew: thank but i tried it, fuse doesnt work with fstab apparenttly [17:28] hi, I want to run emacs with nice fonts, so I specified "Emacs.font: Monospace-10" (the font used by gnome-terminal) and when I try to start emacs it says there's no such font -- how do I find out what it's called? [17:28] yousif: 'borrowing' is a bit of a weird term to use for that. Anyway, you need to figure out where the matlab directory is and replace $MATLAB with that in your command [17:28] Pici: thank you i ll try that. [17:28] hey [17:28] I seem to have trouble mounting usb's under ubuntu, they mount fine in windows, error message: "Invalid Mount option when at [17:28] Mimi: Set the partition type to ntfs-3g [17:28] anyone here know why manually delete menu entry would result in no menu created after purge and install the same app?

[17:33] SuperQ: as Im telling... dont have any option for warnings... sounds, etc... [17:33] Mimi: If you use mount, what does is the line pertaining to that drive [17:33] stoneDJay: oh, it used to.. hrm.. let me look [17:33] ok thanks i installed konqueror but it asks for flash plugin and i have to install it manually with low probability of success :P [17:33] Mimi: Sorry, bad english. [17:33] Is there anything I'd normally need to do before i am able to mount a usb key? [17:34] jewjew: What do you mean? if I type sudo mount /dev/sdb1 it mounts just fine, no output [17:34] SuperQ: thanks... [17:34] SuperQ: Im waiting for it [17:34] jewjew: my fstab reads /dev/sdb1 /media/Usb ntfs-3g defaults 0 0 [17:34] stoneDJay: so it looks like they removed some of the UI [17:35] Mimi: I mean if you just type mount. [17:35] stoneDJay: you can twiddle a few things in gconf-editor [17:35] SuperQ: Its so sad... [17:35] stoneDJay: yup [17:35] Mimi: the line about that drive, what does it say? [17:35] stoneDJay: under general there is a sound/nosound option [17:35] stoneDJay: but the defaults should notify you with a popoup [17:36] jewjew: /dev/sdb1 on /media/USB Drive type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,allow_other,blksize=4096) [17:36] SuperQ: But Im in 2% of battery now and nothing...

[17:36] stoneDJay: the only thing I can suggest is look at /apps/gnome-power-manager/... in gconf-editor [17:37] Does the folder "/media/Usb" exist? [17:37] Mimi: Does the folder "/media/Usb" exist? [17:37] can anyone tell me how to make my soundcard's synth channel louder? i get the "synth" channel to show up in the volume mixer (by selecting "synth capture" NOT "synth") for soem reason, and turn it up to 100%, but still the sound is way out of whack with the other channels and too quiet [17:37] If im trying to store my amarok music library on a remote computer what would be the best transport for it ssh mount nfs mount or smb mount or other? [17:37] Mimi: the folder must exist for fstab to mount a drive there, it won't create the folder [17:37] jewjew: i said /media/Usb for simplicity, but I use media/ usb drive folder - yes it does [17:37] Nitr0: you can try the steps (the last post) found in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=162313 [17:37] I just lost all the borders on top of windows, I double clicked a window (at least that's what I think I did) and they just disappeared!

[18:25] jedwards: fdisk -l to see device name [18:25] virtuald, ill look into it unless you can link me quicker (if you dont mind of course) [18:25] jimdb: ok i installed it... go on terminal and type ntfsprogs... says not found? [18:26] gnyffel: ntfs-config allows him to set up the fstab using a gui. but it won't address the issues of the ntfs mount flag being improperly set. [18:26] virtuald, everyone heres been such a great help today i've got so much done its amazing. [18:26] I am installing MS Internet explorer 7 for linux, but i am not having much luck :D [18:26] how do I find my usb ports? In /dev?? [18:26] no way [18:26] mimi: no...if you go back and read the description you'll see a list of the various programs that were installed. [18:26] my wireless & sound cards have stopped working after upgrading to hardy using 2.6.24-16-generic [18:26] need a tv tuner vista+xp+lunix compataible halp pls [18:26] any ideas how to fix this? [18:26] chamunks: perhaps this'll help: http://geekybits.blogspot.com/2007/11/passwordless-login-for-ssh.html [18:27] mimi: ntfsprogs is just a group of tools used to manage ntfs volumes === seb_ is now known as seb_clope [18:27] works fine with 2.6.22.xx-generic [18:27] Newoob: ies4linux :P [18:27] jimdb: This? ntfsmount - Mount an NTFS partition from user-space using libntfs and FUSE. [18:27] chamunks: I think they do it to make it so you can't accidentally leak your password by having it stored in a script or something [18:27] can nobody explain who/why there was tempered with evolutions passwd managment last update... [18:27] Vlet, yeah i figured it would be pretty insecure i just was hoping to be lazy really [18:27] mimi: no. ntfs-config takes care of the mount. try ntfs-fix [18:27] gnyffel lol it was just a joke [18:27] jimdb: [18:27] but thanks [18:28] jimdb: Why do i need to fix my partition? :/ [18:28] chamunks: :) [18:28] Newoob: humour does not carry well online [18:28] MIMI: because of the way that ntfs works. [18:28] chamunks: I know - I wanted the same, but I suppose it's for the best that it makes you learn a lil ;) [18:28] jimdb: Sorry im just confused what this has to do with mounting at boot... [18:28] am i going a little crazy or does ubuntu 8 server have disk encrypt where 8 desktop does not? [18:28] mimi: if you do not dismount the volume properly then a flag is not set properly. when ntfs-3g tries to mount it for you at start up it sees the flag in error and refuses to mount it. [18:29] jimdb: Im not having that problem.... [18:29] mimi: you are [18:29] Shihan: the desktop encrytion option is only available in the alternate installer [18:29] Vlet, heh i've learned soo much today its rediculous sometimes its just nice to talk to some humans. [18:29] mimi: clear the flag first,then run ntfs-3g and ensure you have it set up properly [18:29] how bizare... [18:29] mimi: ntfs-config [18:29] virtuald, again many thanks [18:30] my wireless & sound cards have stopped working after upgrading to hardy using 2.6.24-16-generic [18:30] any ideas how to fix this? [18:30] jimdb: isn't it ntfsfix without the hyphen, though? [18:31] jimdb: "NTFS partition /dev/sdb1 was processed successfully." so now I do.... ntfs-config ... [18:31] how to i mount my hard drive through the erminal without losing my folders on it? It is an external [18:31] i can understand encryption on the desktop, but on the server it seems of little benefit [18:31] jedwards: fdisk -l to see device name [18:31] jimdb: then i select all 2 boxes ; enable write support internal + extrenal... click ok... [18:31] como faço para instalar o emule no meu linux??? [18:31] como faço para instalar o emule no meu linux??? [18:31] !pt | juliu-saraiva_ [18:31] juliu-saraiva_: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [18:31] mimi: ntfs-3g is a driver to allow you to mount ntfs volumes. ntfs-config is the tool that reads the ntfs partition info and gives you the opportunity to make set the appropriate entries in the fstab using the ntfs-3g driver. but: ntfs-3g won't mount the partition unless the NTFS mount flag is properly set. that's what you need ntfs-fix for. [18:31] Shihan: why is that? [18:31] hi [18:32] how do I get the xen patches for dom0 from the latest Ubuntu pkg? [18:32] jedwards: mount /dev/device /mnt/external - create name external at mnt first [18:32] is there some package available that will let me create a virtual v4l (webcam) device showing static images and showing my desktop? [18:32] como faço para instalar o emule no meu linux??? [18:32] !pt > juliu-saraiva_ [18:32] well, servers (generally speaking) tend to be fairly physically secure and adding encryption to it means it aint booting by itself if it falls over [18:32] gnyffel: if you go back into synaptic and you look at the ntfsprogs entry, then read the description, you'll see the list of utilities. [18:32] jimdb: I've only had problems having ntfs-3g mount volumes when the ntfs volume hadn't been unmounted cleanly [18:33] gnyffel: i done wht u said but i get its an sudo: dpkg-reconfigre: command not found [18:33] jimdb: yes ive fixed it. "NTFS partition /dev/sdb1 was processed successfully." so now I do ntfs-config and it has "enable write support for internal (+external) disk) ... i pick both. press ok. now.... what must I do? === Newoob is now known as daftpun1 [18:33] doug_: I think you're an 'u' short. dpkg-reconfigure [18:33] Hi guys - Wireless adapter help! Set up linksys usb drivers, which work, properly recognizes device, but having a problem with the wlan0 alias [18:34] gnyffel: i understand....the ntfsprogs is the set of utilities designed to help you resolve the unclean mount issue. you also have the choice of connecting that drive to an windows box and unmounting it that way. [18:34] jimdb: I realise that ntfsprogs pulls several utilities, it's just that ntfsfix in particular is invoked without the hyphen. I think. [18:34] gnyffel: xserver-xorg postinst warning: overwriting possibly-customised configuration [18:34] file; backup in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.20080508123426 [18:34] can anyone point me to how to fix the workspace applet that's on the gnome panel? I can't drag and drop applications between desktops. [18:34] gnyffel: its not. its spelled ntfsfix i just ran it [18:35] gnyffel: now what? [18:35] hi guys, has anyone experienced troubles installing xubuntu-desktop (8.04 LTS) ? I get a "cyan" background when trying to start XFCE session; however Gnome session works fine. Any ideas where to look? From Gnome Session, starting thunar, xfce4-panel and such, work fine. (i.e.: they launch). [18:35] where as user machines (specially if their laptops) are prime for encryption [18:35] (I forgot to mention that I have Ubuntu 8.04LTS) [18:35] gnyffel: just try both and find out which one lists that it needs parameters and which one tells you that it can't find the program you are trying to invoke [18:35] Trae: I could swear you need compiz (#compiz) to drag windows to other desktops [18:35] jimdb: only I don't think it was brought up that the volume had been unmounted badly.

[18:38] yes [18:38] Vlet, [18:38] hi can anyone tell me how to install WLAN in hardy in a HP dv6000 [18:38] doug_: well, you should probably restart the xserver and see if it works. If indeed the problem was with X malfunctioning. Um. [18:38] but it must be automatic [18:38] !repomirror | matrix [18:38] matrix: Go to "System", "Administration", and "Software Sources" and choose "Other" from the drop down box. Then choose "select best server" and your system will choose the fastest mirror for you automatically.

Set up linksys usb drivers, which work, properly recognizes device, but having a problem with the wlan0 alias [18:41] Does anybody else here have problems with firefox losing its window decoration when clicking on certain links that open new windows? When I click on my "Go to class" link on the web interface, It tries to open a new window to load the class but the titlebar goes away. I then have to hit F11 twice to have it come out of it.

[18:41] jimdb: ... i just used the drive... its there..... *does it anyway* [18:41] @kripton1x I have a HP dv6000 laptop [18:41] and i cannot get WLAN to work [18:41] dont want to spam my question either, cause then these little channel admins that hide behind their little bots repremending people for stupid shit will start to get a little haywire [18:41] gnyffel: now compize wont start up [18:41] doug_: any errors? [18:42] sarath: driver issue? [18:42] kripton1x: Please repeat your question and watch the language. [18:42] gnyffel: not that i see [18:42] what language [18:42] doug_: Are you using nvidia or nv as a driver?

[18:42] kripton1x: is here, so stop [18:42] gnyffel: how do i find out?

While my first assumption was to just manage it with our windows 2k3 server and our xp/vista clients, I'm here to ask if you can do the same with Ubuntu server/desktop? [18:45] mimi: it is best that you use the ntfs-config program. [18:45] jimdb why is that [18:45] Crusader_Tech: depends on what you need to do. Yes, basically. [18:45] Mimi: I used the default Windows defragger on a windows partition recently, and it defragmented the individual files, but did not seem to "defragment the partition" in the sense that the files were still scattered around the partition. Do I need a special defragmenter for Windows partitions? [18:45] Crusader_Tech: Yes, but there is certainly a learning curve, so if it's your job, maybe you would be better off with whatever you know best [18:45] I have a wireless issue.. can anyone help me?? [18:45] Linux can do anything Windows can do, but with more penguins. [18:45] ok, so now that the ops got their daily ego boost by banning people for stupid things that do not appeal to them - [18:45] hi all [18:45] mimi: because it appriately makes the folder, set the permissions, etc. adding it manually to the fstab file means you have other tasks to perform. [18:45] Sarth: no way! me too! :O [18:46] John_S: the windows defragger is really crappy (sorry i dont have a better word to describe it) try http://www.kessels.com/JkDefrag/ [18:46] gnyffel: Mainly just office (OOo) and internet (firefox). A handful of users use windows specific software, but the bulk of them do not. [18:46] @ [18:46] lolz [18:46] mimi: and you should gksu ntfs-config or from the terminal you should sudo ntfs-config--just in case you haven't done that already. [18:46] jkdefrag is very nice [18:46] gnyffel: nope wont run [18:46] Crusader_Tech: it's definitely doable, in that case. [18:46] Mimi: OK, and linux partitions never need to be defragged? Why is that? [18:46] anyway, I am having a problem with my wlan0 alias binding to my ndiswrapper which already has drivers initialized [18:46] doug_: the grepping? Or X? [18:46] hello, why my ubuntu 8.04 plays videofiles very slow and very saturated? [18:47] hi guys, has anyone experienced troubles installing xubuntu-desktop (8.04 LTS) ? I get a "cyan" background when trying to start XFCE session; however Gnome session works fine. Any ideas where to look? From Gnome Session, starting thunar, xfce4-panel and such, work fine.

[18:47] Vlet: Well I was thinking of using the 20 computers in our high school library as a test bed, and throwing ubuntu server on a spare machine. Thing is, of course, I dont know where to start. It is at all self explanitory where to go in Ubuntu server to get to things akin to group policy? [18:47] jimdb: So I put /dev/sdb1 /media/USB\040Drive ntfs-3g defaults,force,locale=en_CA.UTF-8 0 0 (Im using that folder because rhythmbox has my playlist on that path :) ) so...... *sigh* lets see.. *thinks* What else do I need to do so 1) its mounted when my PC boots up 2) I can access/write/etc files to it as a normal user? [18:48] monkeybritches: no, just avi/mpg/wma file [18:48] doug_: you might want to at least tell me what symptoms you're experiencing, and what exactly it is that 'won't run' [18:48] Crusader_Tech: not self explanatory really. You'll have to do a lot of reading into samba configuration [18:48] monkeybritches: codecs from medibuntu [18:48] megaserg: Do you have the right drivers for your graphics card? [18:48] i followed http://www.ubuntugeek.com/sharing-internet-connection-in-ubuntu.html and its working. but only when firestarter is disabled. why so and how can i share internet while firestater is running ? 2nd it was sharing internet. i rebooted all pcs. and its not sharing now. why so?

I'd like to keep working while it upgrades in the bg [18:48] gnyffel: join me in room #wwed please [18:48] Vlet: Would I have to live off of the commandline, or is it mostly GUI nowadays?

[18:49] Crusader_Tech: if you're serious about it, there's a chance there's a LUG in your area that could help [18:49] gnyffel: i ask because i have to go from room to room and i am losing what u say to me [18:49] Sarath: built in? [18:49] Mimi: I'm glad ext3 is so much better than ntfs! Not surprising :D Thanks for the help. :) [18:49] @ yeah... [18:49] monkeybritches: i've intel gma, standard drivers are right [18:49] i will PM u in few if its ok to see if you got the problem resolved, going out to lunch [18:49] Welcome, John_S , there's a lot more info online why it works that way, I didnt show you, but I can try finding an article if you want [18:50] hopefully I eat food that the admins like so they wont ban me again [18:50] 8.04 is supposed to support bcm43xx out of the box [18:50] little hitlers [18:50] gnyffel: There is. I'm not sure if they do things to that scale, but I'll look into it. I just like the idea of not having to pay out the wazoo every time there is an upgrade. This is a k-12 private school, and money is NOT plentiful. [18:50] Crusader_Tech: server stuff is mostly commandline; there are some GUI tools that people have written to manage server stuff, but for the most part it's assumed that people will read manuals, etc... ubuntu server can do anything that other distro's do, but ubuntu server doesn't even install a GUI... you may want to look into suse if you want linux gui server configuration stuff [18:51] * no7up4u2 is away: www.boycottWEP.org [18:51] Intel drivers can be sluggish [18:51] !away > no7up4u2 (Please see the private messsage from ubottu) [18:51] Anyone here know anything about Gtk+ and C? [18:51] I mean, the hardware can be. [18:51] can u help me out? [18:51] Mimi: No that's OK, thanks for the info, I believe you. :) [18:51] Sarath: I don't know anything about wireless cards :-/ [18:52] vlet: I've got no problem reading manuals. I'm just trying to decide if it's feasible to make the Linux jump for us. [18:52] oh.. k.. [18:52] I'm doing the live upgrade to 8.04. How seriously do I need to take the warning to close all apps? I'd like to keep working while it upgrades in the bg [18:52] åäö [18:52] ok my problem is the driver manager says that i have to install restricted drivers.. when i install it, i am asked to restart.. after i restart, its the same.. the driver hasn't been install and my wlan light still glows orange instead of blue.. [18:52] help please... [18:53] jimdb: I made the usb drive folder in media as root. so when I reboot my drive should mount automagically, so i can just launch my music player and play songs from that drive, without having to mount the drive myself, right? [18:53] Does anybody know if there's anything else I need to change to switch to xubuntu from ubuntu? (apart from installing xubuntu-desktop package and selecting the session when loggin in) ? I get a cyan screen and I can only go back to login with ctrl-alt-backspace. Gnome (default) works fine. [18:53] monkeybritches: any ideas? [18:53] I upgraded to 8.04 and now I don't get sound from my Hauppauge pvr-150 card (sound is working for everything else) [18:53] Crusader_Tech: you'll have to decide for yourself; yeah, try it out on a test machine. linux just isn't going to be as plug-n-play as windows, but linux is far more unlimiting [18:53] one more question. Has anybody had success with using Wubi in Vista? [18:53] Mimi: yes, though of course you needn't reboot to mount it now [18:53] hellooo.. anyone?? [18:53] I wasn't able to make it work on my raid sata drives... [18:53] Hi [18:53] I need help with my install to an external drive. I started the install about 12 minutes ago and it's still on %5 with creating ext3 partition [18:53] gnyffel: im aware of that, but I want to test it... you know? [18:53] Hi Fishscene [18:54] is this normal at all? [18:54] Sarath: Specific questions are better for IRC. If anyone knows the answer to your question, they'll answer it. If not, google is your friend. [18:54] Hi Some_Duded [18:54] vlet: I just need to be able to really lock down these machines. Students can be pretty destructive. Things like not changing the desktop background, editing start menus, that kind of thing. [18:54] Dude* [18:54] gnyffel: what im trying to do is have it be mounted at boot, so i want to see if *that* works [18:54] typos happen, what's up? [18:54] Is anyone in here familiar with getting smooth dvd playback? mine is choppy and the proc is maxed out... I see how to fix it in hdparm, but not with sdparm... [18:54] Mimi: I get that, though what happens when you mount it now is essentially the same that happens when you boot. [18:54] Sarath: if no one answers, it's probably because no one knows how to answer your question at the moment [18:54] Crusader_Tech: Thats pretty easy with linux, you can give them very very basic permissions [18:54] gnyffel: how come? *tilts head* [18:55] Some_Dude, my sound problems happened again today. I paused my music, then tried playing a video- sound wouldn't come through... [18:55] Crusader_Tech: http://edubuntu.org/ ;) [18:55] Some_Dude, but It may have been a glitch of some sort as X started crashing randomly after that. [18:55] Fishscene: did you have firefox or epiphany running? [18:55] megaserg: Hold on one moment... [18:55] Mimi: because everything in fstab is mounted when you boot. Thus, if you can mount something manually as per its entry in fstab, it will work when booting as well. [18:55] Mimi, I don't recall- although I'll keep a mental log of what's running the next time it happens [18:55] mimi: Hi Mimi, and thanks ahead of time. I was wondering about the server, becuase I set up a "student" account today on an ubuntu box, and set it as "unprivlaged". I still had plenty of flexiblity on the desktop, so I was wondering if I could lock down more so with server. [18:55] How do I install OpenGL and GTKGLExt support in python ? [18:55] Where does the X session saves its log file when it's starting (after you enter your username/password) ? [18:56] How do I get the gvfs-fuse package to work? It's installed, but using gnome to mount a remote filesystem over sftp doesn't cause anything to get mounted to my filesystem (google suggested it should show up under ~/.gvfs) [18:56] gnyffel: yeah i understand that, but it wasnt working that way before, even though i could tell sudo mount /dev/sdb1 and it would work, it wasnt mounting at boot. [18:56] Chess won't start in 3d mode [18:56] Crusader_Tech: What are you trying to lock down? [18:56] Mimi: beats me. It should. [18:56] Flannel: hes trying to make it so users cant do anything, dont change wallpaper, etc etc. [18:56] brute: maybe the card isn't supported? [18:56] how do I open firefox while installing ubuntu from the cd? [18:57] 8.04 [18:57] flannel: These are computers that students regularly use. And before diving into group policy in windows, I was wondering about how that would be handled in the Linux world. [18:57] can anyone help me out? how do i reset my resolution? for some reason its suck on absolutly tiny resolution (ie the icons and writing etc are massive) all the settings to change it are locked at small resolutions like 640x480 [18:57] Asizemore, did you click on the firefox button at the top? [18:57] also I can not find an option in gnome where i can see windows from all workspaces [18:57] Crusader_Tech: here's another thing to look at: http://developer.kde.org/documentation/tutorials/kiosk/index.html [18:57] flannel: So things like locking down the desktop so they can't minipulate it. [18:57] asizemore: you have a firefox icon at the top of the screen [18:57] Some_dude, I have 7300 Nvidia [18:57] GryzorX: I do not have any icons, I just hit install [18:58] drivers are ok I guess [18:58] asizemore: where did you just hit install? [18:58] asizemore: then you do not have a live session running [18:58] GryzorX: more what I was asking was what do I tell the firefox command to do after the --display=DISPLAY option [18:58] Crusader_Tech: You don't care if they manipulate it for their session, right? Just so that when they log off/someone else logs in its normal? If so, you could just wipe the home directory (or set it to some known default) on logoff [18:58] atlef: I'm using the console, so it's obviously live :P === ferret_ is now known as ferret [18:58] Some_dude, glxinfo | grep direct [18:58] direct rendering: Yes [18:58] asizemore: ok [18:59] flannel: That sounds promising. How would I set up the default? [18:59] asizemore: you're using a Console? [18:59] Where does the X session saves its log file when it's starting (after you enter your username/password) ? [18:59] I'm just wondering how to launch firefox from the ctrl+alt+win+F(key) console :P [18:59] asizemore: type... firefox :) [18:59] Crusader_Tech: you'd just copy the files into it each logoff (or log on, or whatever). You could concievably set up the permissions on those files so that the user itself can't write to them in their own homedir. Making it so they couldn'tchange desktop background or whatnot. [18:59] is there a program or a way to force reset to my resolution? [19:00] woah why are people being d-lined? [19:00] GryzorX: I get the error "no display specified" [19:00] asizemore: but.. do you have an X session running or you're at the command prompt? [19:00] GryzorX: also, I'm sshing to my server right now [19:00] flannel: I just set up 2 ubuntu 8.04 boxes in a room of 20 PC's. I test of sorts. [19:00] hi guys. i got a htc p3600, how do i connect it to my hardy-box? when i plug it just nothing happens... do i have to install any special packages? [19:00] I do have an x session [19:00] it's the one where ubuntu's getting installed [19:00] Crusader_Tech: the second option Flannel mentioned would simply entail doing this: sudo chmod 500 /home/theusername [19:00] asizemore: specify -X on your ssh command-line [19:00] The error is python is missing OpenGL and GTKGLExt [19:01] SIGH ..... gnyffel jimdb no luck with the automount. [19:01] asizemore: exactly, Dashkal Said it. [19:01] hellooooo [19:01] Crusader_Tech: http://library.gnome.org/admin/deployment-guide/ looks like a good place to start [19:01] Dashkal: that gives me an invalid command :o [19:02] I connected my ubuntu notebook with my windows PC via a wired connection. I pinged it and it works fine. I also share my internet connection on my PC with the wired connection. however I cannot connect to the internet with my ubuntu notebook. (My notebook would support wlan as well but i cannot get wlan running on linux) [19:02] flannel: That site looks perfect. I'll be checking that one out. Thanks Flannel. [19:02] hello, for some reason my time is 2 hours behind. when I go to settings for time and date its crrect tho. what might this be? [19:02] GryzorX: Dashkal don't worry about it [19:02] Vlet: no, because you want them to be able to make stuff in their homedir, temp files, etc. You just don't want those to persist, and you don't want them to change [fileX], regardless [19:02] I can just use lynx from my server [19:02] vlet: that command would reset the desktop settings as they logged out? [19:02] asizemore: :) okey [19:02] sudo apt-get install ??????? I want to install a GNU C compiler what should i type? [19:02] Mimi: seeing any error messages anywhere? [19:02] asizemore: :) [19:02] harris: build-essential [19:02] thanks for the effort though [19:03] sudo apt-get install build-essential [19:03] Crusader_Tech: Found that through gooogle of "Gnome public terminal lockdown" theres many more if that doesn't do what you're looking for. [19:03] Starting Bluetouch service [OK] and stopped :-( what do it? help me [19:03] gnyffel: Do you know which log I could search to find the error? I have Admin>System Logs open.

Desktop or Alternate? [19:13] desktop [19:13] hello, for some reason my time is 2 hours behind. when I go to settings for time and date its crrect tho. what might this be? [19:13] hdoria: Desktop CD has almost no debs on it. [19:13] megaserg: Maybe. If it worked before then it *should* work again. [19:13] viet and what does that do [19:13] Sarath: have you tried the ubuntuwiki? [19:13] Flannel, and how does it install?

[19:14] Ali_ix, there is no -F on my manpage [19:14] hdoria: The alternate CD is debinstall, so its the one with all the packages on it [19:14] Mimi: if the line you put in fstab didn't work, you'd see an error, so are you SURE it's not mounted? [19:14] yep... according to the wiki, bcm43xx drivers should work out of the box in hardy [19:14] megaserg: Including libdvdcss2, libdvdnav, libdvdread, libdvdplay ? [19:14] joaopinto: yeah! it is some sort of easteregg :) [19:14] monkeybritches: hmm, i don't know, howto check? [19:14] i also tried the manual method... [19:14] hdoria: this is also why you can use the alternate CD to upgrade, but not the desktop CD [19:14] hi, i updated from gutsy to hardy and my sound is gone. what can i do? [19:15] Viet. Im confused. THE LINE WORKS WHEN I MOUNT IT! But it *DOESNT* mount at BOOT. [19:15] monkeybritches: i just included medibuntu repository to sources.list [19:15] * Mimi shivers [19:15] megaserg: One way would be to go into Adept and search for 'libdvd' [19:15] Flannel, i see. thank you for the info. im trying to create a local repository to my network.

It doesn't appear in system->administration->hardware drivers anymore, but according to synaptic package manager the closed source nvidia packages are installed [19:17] artenius, lcd?

[20:00] gnyffel: SIS Mirage 3+ [20:00] \tells me i dont have it so i sudo for lame [20:00] Ta, Ali. I just wondered if there was any Gnome app with that functionality. But it's Gnome so anything useful is optimised out of the GUI ;-) [20:00] still tell me i dont have it [20:00] sudo for lame? [20:00] :D [20:00] ray_ hold on I'll check what package you need [20:00] negge thanks [20:01] xenomorph99: didnt recently check deluge, but it is fast-growing, check it. [20:01] Cheers [20:01] ray_ have you installed restricted extras? [20:01] Alright, thanks guys. Sturdy Heron downloading. Will install later. Bye!

If i switch to an other user after resume, the box will at once suspend again at the moment the other desktop appears. Any hints? [20:03] ray_ although installing ubuntu-restricted-extras is probably the smartest thing to do [20:03] Does anyone know how to fix a FAT32 filesystem in Ubuntu 8? [20:03] ray_ you mean how to install it? [20:03] negge yes [20:03] when i connect my ti-89 it wont recognize it using tilp2 anyone have any suggestions? [20:03] Fishscene: fsck.vfat? [20:03] one your taling about [20:03] ray_ open a terminal window and write sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [20:03] then enter your password [20:04] negge will it be in there [20:04] How do I get /var/run to use the file system instead of tmpfs? [20:04] ray_ yeah [20:04] Would it be hard to install KDE4 on hardy with gnome installed ???? [20:04] ok [20:04] Serena, still there? [20:04] mad_max02: no! [20:04] ray_ I agree with negge [20:04] how come you've managed to install audacity when you don't seem to know how to install a program? [20:04] mad_max02: use synaptics, tick items, click install [20:04] Ali_ix, would everything work ?? [20:04] Fishscene: still here [20:04] mad_max02: nope, just install kubuntu-kde4-desktop and you're done! [20:04] what do I have to tick ? [20:05] negge: he may have used the add/remove application [20:05] mad_max02: kubuntu-kde4-desktop [20:05] mad_max02: yes, you will have a choise to use gnome or kde in login area [20:05] and just restart x and select kde and thats it ?? [20:05] serena, try running fsk.vfat on your SD card [20:05] mad_max02: just log out and choose at your login screen (under sessions) [20:05] hm I wanna try that right now [20:05] what about programs and their settings ? [20:05] Fishscene: how do I do that? [20:05] mad_max02: What do you mean? [20:05] I'm installing ubuntu onto a server (via the desktop cd) and at the end of the install it came up with an error: Executing 'grub-install (hd0)' then This is a fatal error. - this is a dell pe2950 and hardy ... i've installed onto otherwise identical pe2950 with less drive space ... this has a 3.6TB RAID5 drive [20:05] danbhfive yeah I know. I'm just so used to installing with apt-get it's was the first method I thought of [20:06] well I got some programs I use and would I loose their settings if I convert to kde ? [20:06] mad_max02: No, you're not converting, you'll have both installed [20:06] mad_max02: you wont loose settings [20:06] programs like cinerella, wine, nero, openoffice, ..... [20:06] Serena, if you type it in a terminal, it will dump a list of commands and how to use them :) [20:06] they will all work same as in gnome ? [20:06] If I have to do a make install how would I do the command ? [20:06] SheikPunk: Right, try 'lspci -nn | grep VGA', what does that return? [20:06] Ximal, sudo make install [20:07] !compile | Ximal [20:07] Ximal: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [20:07] Fishscene: command not found [20:07] ok i'm thinking sudo make SQLITE=true install could be ok ? [20:07] mad_max02: yes, you'll just have a higher memory requirement, since you'll need both QT and GTK hanging around in memory [20:07] fsck.vfat ? [20:07] or would the command come after the INSTALL word ? [20:07] mad_max02: or not requirement, usage. [20:07] anyone have any ideas? [20:07] i'm loking 4 torrent-leech invitations plz pm me if u have thanx [20:07] mad_max02: This is unix. All programms will store their setups seperately. You may "loose" settings correspondig th the desktop manager. [20:07] Flannel, does that mean that gnome is lighter than kde ?? [20:07] m7mdz: please don't do that here. [20:08] anybody know a good way to mirror a site? [20:08] Fishscene: ok that worked [20:08] bye [20:08] im playing with httrack right now.. [20:08] mad_max02: no, it means when you're using gnome and using gnome libraries, you only need gnome libraries (likewise, if you're using kde and using kde libraries you only need kde libraries), if you're using kde and gnome, you need both [20:08] cl0s: rsync, wget based on your access to both servers [20:08] but it goes too deep in, even though i put recursive 1... [20:08] Ximal: Usually those sort of arguments are supplied when you do the ./configure [20:08] Serena, I might have typed it wrong the first time *foot in mouth* [20:08] only have http access...

I have noticed in my system monitor that there is a so-called "Bluetooth applet". Do I need it (I have no on-board bluetooth and no bluetooth devices connected)? If I do nto need it, how can I disable its starting? [20:09] Ximal: .. means to go to the parent directory, ../Desktop does not exist, you probably want ~/Destkop [20:10] Fishscene: ok .... I am not understanding this [20:10] Stormcr0w: prefrences > sessions> startup apps [20:10] <<-- answered his own question ... /boot's files are beyond 1023 [20:10] Serena, I'm still working things out on my end, so far I have "fsck.vfat -arv" (I need to figure out the path to my device) [20:10] v0lksman: check cat .config | grep SMP [20:10] aye I did a FULL /home/ximal/Desktop/folder version like that.

[20:14] Serena, go for it. [20:14] how to create a root and password? I never made one when I installed hardy. Is there a generic equivalent? [20:14] Fishscene: You're sure, that it is formated with FAT32? Or maybe just with FAT? [20:15] ubuntu upgrades just always seem to end up turning to crap. Honestly I think I've seen win98 to winXP upgrades that weren't this painful... [20:15] [20:15] zcat[1]: Do you have a support question? [20:15] aXXe there is a root acct ... type sudo passwd and you can chcange the root password [20:15] no. :) [20:15] Just ranting [20:15] !root [20:15] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [20:15] zcat[1]: i agree [20:15] !noroot | Mimi aXXe [20:15] Mimi aXXe: We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-) [20:15] thanks Mimi [20:15] Only Serena can answer that. I'm trying to help her out [20:15] what's the command line for System Tools->New Login ? [20:15] Fishscene: so what should I do now [20:15] ? [20:16] I'm aware of that Pici, but that's his problem if he wants to do it [20:16] can anyone tell me if i should be installing 64bit Heron or 32bit Heron on my core 2 duo? [20:16] v0lksman: Can you please paste uname -r ? [20:16] thorny_sun: how much ram? [20:16] Mimi: It's our problem if he does something inadvisable and later has problems because of it.. [20:16] gangalee: adduser [20:16] thorny_sun: 32bit [20:16] zcat well hes been warned hasnt he [20:16] jbroome__: : 3gb [20:16] 32bit will be fine [20:16] anyone know which module supports "Intel Corporation 631xESB/632xESB High Definition Audio Controller" ... not getting any sound [20:17] so why not 64bit? [20:17] Ali_ix, you seem to know what you are talking about, would you be willing to walk Serena through with the commands to fix her SD card's filesystem? [20:17] thorny_sun: Use 32bit, if you do'nt know if you need 64bit. [20:17] Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi audio not working! [20:17] korney: it might be snd_hda_intel [20:17] Nokia^: http://pastebin.ca/1011910 [20:17] Mimi: Please warn before you give out the command next time [20:17] Starnestommy: no luck with that [20:17] i'm pretty sure core 2 duo supports 64bit instructions [20:17] Pici, others had already hasnt they? [20:17] Fishscene: did you figure the commands out? [20:17] Not yet [20:17] Mimi: the best answer is "that's a silly question which I will not help you with. Use sudo" .. if he wants to go research and find out how to do it, hopefully he will learn more about permisisons and see why it's not necessary in the first place [20:17] Fishscene: do you think gparted could fix it? [20:17] Fishscene: sorry, no idea how to solve it. [20:18] Mimi: Not until after you suggested. [20:18] thorny_sun: Do you have a desktop computer or a server? [20:18] gjaekel: desktop [20:18] zcat[1], oh ok now I get why I always have so much trouble getting help here... it's to make me learn on my own ;p Too bad I usually search a lot before coming here [20:18] hi all, i am having a problem with ubuntu randomly freezing, usually while running either dpkg or firefox. The whole system including the mouse and keyboard becomes completely unresponsive. I have done a memory test and swapped out the HD and neither has resolved the problem.

[20:19] umm pici .. how do I do the permissions on a folder .. is it prompt ; sudo chmod -7-7-7 /foldernamehere ? [20:19] Serena, do you know the mount point of your SD card? [20:19] I need a simple to use web site package... recommendations? [20:19] gnyffel: man [20:19] Andy50: openssh is available in the Ubuntu repositories, you dont need to compile from source [20:19] I'm happy to help people learn, I'm not happy to help people do things that may cause more problems in the future..

[20:20] on my laptop it gives me this strange error "Could not open a connection to your authentication agent." [20:20] I don't think nvu is in Ubuntu repos though :( you'd have to go to www.nvu.com [20:20] Ali_ix: why doesnt the report-tool open my browser? there's just that report pop-up and on reporting nothing happens ;/ [20:20] Andy50: Then you'd need to look at the INSTALL and README files in your source package [20:20] #trizpug [20:20] nvu is now kompozer [20:20] v0lksman: Can you check if you have somthing called IOAPIC in bois?

[20:25] Nokia^: no chance its due to Wubi and the way it sets up the environment right? [20:25] chamunks: I think this may be a conceptual problem.

[20:26] Fishscene: hmm [20:26] Mimi: If I try to uninstall ff3, many other depndencies are to be removed.

[20:47] MNZ, read log files [20:47] hacknslash, I'm tired of shelling out cash on wifi cards that people swear work under linux and them NOT working, not even a little bit so I want to buy a card (for a laptop) that will. [20:47] ompaul, nothing whatsoever in log files [20:47] sorry to hear you're having trouble Mimi.. I can't get sound to work and I've been here about a week too.. ready to give up [20:47] Eek [20:47] pm2: Sorry, ata1.01 [20:47] ive installed dangerdeep with the .bin file. now i cant figure out how to start it [20:47] node357: have you filed a bug report? [20:47] MNZ, ctrl alt F1 and see if you can get to a terminal but as far as I remember you said that it was frozen solid [20:47] danbhfive, no I haven't. I don't know how [20:48] hacknslash, I figured that forcing me to go out and purchase the correct hardware would be much simpler than begging the community to help me with what I have. It's the way of open source these days. [20:48] ompaul, btw if there's any sound being sent to the sound card it loops the last 05 second forever [20:48] xomp, have you tried these instructions https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Broadcom_BCM4318_%5BAirForce_One_54g%5D [20:48] ompaul, no, completely frozen [20:48] ive installed dangerdeep with the .bin file. now i cant figure out how to start it [20:48] hacknslash, yep [20:48] Lynet, I'm thinking its probably my cd/dvd drive. I have noticed that the problem occurs more frequently when there's a disk in there, thats mounted [20:48] is there an undelete for files that have been removed from the trash? [20:48] boris_: don't repeat so quickly [20:48] xomp: get something based on the rt2400 chipset, they work perfectly. [20:48] xomp at which step did it fail [20:48] How Much Does Support Cost..I Will Pay Anything.. [20:48] I'll find out how to submit a bug report somewhere I guess [20:48] MNZ, if it is the lack of a second machine get some pal with a laptop to call by use a live cd if they don't have the right o/s and ssh into it - if no logs then you need to see what is going on [20:49] jorvis: well its a simple question and i want an answer [20:49] xomp: from my experience Linksys cards dont work too well but my D-Link does [20:49] boris_: well, you should wait longer. [20:49] node357: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems [20:49] Streett, http://www.ubuntu.com/support/paid [20:49] ompaul, not even the ctrl-alt-print REISUB combination (which is supposed to bypass everything, the kernel is suppoed to catch it) [20:49] Lol [20:49] hacknslash, to be honest I don't remember, I've been battling wifi cards for about 4 months now with no progress lol [20:49] Streett needs paid support to move files? o.O [20:49] be nice.... [20:49] No Sound [20:49] zcat[1], do you have a link to one of them? I will buy it right this moment lol [20:49] MNZ, you could run ps awux once a minute sorting for the top line and redirect it to a file and then watch for a runaway process [20:49] thanks danbhfive [20:50] MNZ, no other ideas [20:50] Streett: just work on your humming and singing. [20:50] oh, What sound card do you have? [20:50] if he can spare the money theres nothing wrong with him getting help for little things. its HIS money after all [20:50] ompaul, hmm ok I'll try that thanks [20:50] I can Hear YouTube Videos [20:50] Meta Cafe [20:50] * Wyleyrabbit hears voices [20:50] Can't [20:50] Could be a problem with meta cafe then, whatever that is [20:50] Streett, ... let me ask you sorry, you are trying to listen to mp3 at the same time youre on firefox? [20:51] how do i start .xml files ? [20:51] No [20:51] xomp, I can't help unless your more specific, perhaps looking at this table may assist you, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Feisty_No-Fluff [20:51] zcat[1], I need a wifi card that not only works 100% in linux, but one that will allow me to packet inject and the such. Do you know of any? [20:51] pm2: You could try that. Looks like ata1.01 is the problem device, and it is UDMA/25 - which usually means cd/dvd. [20:51] boris_: xml files don't start. they're text files. [20:51] My Headset Checks Ok.. [20:51] boris_, you mean you want to read an XML file? [20:51] boris_: you don't start them. they are text files you read or parse [20:51] hi [20:51] believe it or not you can have OSS and ALSA working toegether, it's awkward but i've done it before. might be what happened. [20:51] i want to play dangerdeep [20:51] whats the terminal command to gind out thew name of my wifi card? [20:51] xomp: best thing to do is take your laptop in with you, plug in a few cards, buy the one that works. Or if you're shopping for a laptop, take the ubuntu live CD with you and make sure everything works.. [20:51] I Can Watch Streaming Video through the Player Fine [20:51] find* [20:51] hacknslash, it's ok, I'm giving up on this card entirely lol [20:51] i've a problem: a MX 1000 bluetooth logitech mouse. [20:51] xomp: for packet injection and stuff, take the backtrack2 live CD in to test them :) [20:51] Whenever I go to a Video Platform Like YouTube, Viddler, MetaCafe I can't Hear The Video [20:51] I've configured evdev and xbind keys for all the buttons [20:51] Lynet, any thoughts on how to resolve this? Could it just be a kernel driver issue or something? [20:51] pici you here have obe question [20:51] for you [20:52] Brent^: type dmesg and look in the output there ... maybe grep for 'irele' [20:52] Streett, can you hear songs from Totem? [20:52] but my MX 1000 is not acurate. The cursor play arround the mouse trajectory. [20:52] lwolf: have you tried "btnx"? [20:52] When a Video is Playing in Totem..Yes.. [20:52] in mplayer plug in for firfox what video do i want when i configer it [20:52] ? [20:52] Streett, when you CANT hear the video on firefox, are you using a media player at the same time? [20:52] Wyleyrabbit, no, what is it ? [20:52] It is when I go to a Video Platform Like YouTube [20:52] x11 gl or xv [20:52] ? [20:53] lwolf: it's a mouse button configuration utility for x. it might help you. [20:53] No [20:53] i want to play dangerdeep [20:53] Streett, sounds like something easily fixed, it's just a matter of where [20:53] how ? [20:53] Ok [20:53] Mimi, I have that problem! [20:53] bah, I'll just continue to use windows for wifi and linux for wired lol, it simplifies my life exponentially! [20:53] any one see my q [20:53] nature's calling, i'll be right back [20:53] So I don't have to spend 250.00? [20:53] zelluz, have you found a fix yet>? [20:53] xomp, google for linux user group, someone will be able to help you [20:53] pm2: Depends, do you know which ata chipset is in your machine? Most of the ata drivers should be fairly stable, but you might google for specific problems with your particular chipset. [20:53] Streett, if you do, i doubt they can do anything either. [20:53] im looking and looking [20:53] ROFL [20:54] Are You Serious [20:54] nothing against support, but the sounds of this is a hardware problem, and what the hardware can't do it can't do and if it's a software problem we can probably find it [20:54] hi, since i updated from gutsy to hardy my sound is gone. will somebody help? I have spent 3 hours on google, with no results. thanks a lot. [20:54] xomp: BTW; I have found cases where a wifi card with an IDENTICAL model number actually comes in two different versions.. my SMC is an example.. the one I got has the well supported rt2400 chip.. there's a different version with the same model number which uses a completely different (unsupported) chipset. [20:54] zelluz, did i speak with you a lil bit ago about this? (if so, can you write my name when you reply to me, so i can see you have replied?) [20:54] pm2: But to be honest, it more often than not is borked hardware. Either mechanical failure in the drive itself or bad cable/connection. [20:54] anyway, nature calls i'll return shortly [20:54] Wyleyrabbit, as far as i can tell, the buttons works :D but thank you, i take a look [20:54] zelluz, try to sudo apt-get install libflashsupport in a terminal [20:54] Lynet, ok, thanks for your help, I'll look into that [20:54] Streett, zelluz, try to sudo apt-get install libflashsupport in a terminal [20:54] Mimi, no you didnt speak to me about it [20:54] I forget how to install jre in kubuntu ? [20:55] zcat[1], yeah, I figured as much when i was researching myself lol. that's why I'm sticking with windows for wifi and linux for wired now heh [20:55] Mimi, will try it thanks!

[21:03] Hence 'Rette' [21:03] xp [21:03] tony403, alsamixer is a good no-bs volume changer.

[21:05] lorenzo_: I've recommend a fresh install .. all of my upgrades to hardy have turned out terrible [21:05] zcat, the only way i can get hardy to work IS upgrade =p [21:05] justin__, http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/495 ... Mmnmmm .... [21:06] lorenzo_, i have to agree with the others, you should do a fresh install, sadly : [21:06] tony403, that's not what I was getting at... anyways, there are a lot of issues surrounding your question to be asked: Are these wine programs? Are they DOS ones? Do they use the KDE sound stuff? Do they do their own? Are they using OSS? [21:06] ~ QUESTION ~ Hello Im trying to have usb drive mounted at boot time, im following the guide here but its not working http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=461042 can anyone help [21:06] tony403, Gnome sound stuff? [21:07] Yes [21:07] PeterFA, no wine. all programs. I never had one work in full screen using the keyboard volume control. both kde and gnome [21:07] with separate /home can i go from hardy32bit to hardy64bit as in fresh installing? [21:08] Anybody with non-free flash working adventurous enough to try a link for me? (I'm looking mostly for hardy users, but gutsy'd be fine too) This site used to work fine on gutsy, works fine on firefox in windows, but i can't, for the life of me, make it work on hardy (seems to be a javascript problem, but i need confirmation). [21:08] hello everyone i'm new to ubuntu and i already have a little problem :o [21:08] langleyo, zcat[1], thanks...but good god! at this point, how do i save my settings, e.g. my firefox bookmark? [21:08] alfadog, what's your problem? [21:08] I cant open shared files, the files are on a xp machine. Im using ubuntu. I read that the shared folder must be mounted. How can I keep that folder mounted when I log in to ubuntu so I dont have to mount it every time I log in [21:08] my screensize is stuck on 800x600 [21:08] Lol.. [21:08] this is in my xorg.conf [21:08] GFX CARD UPDATE. [21:09] its an old laptop i run xubuntu on [21:09] Alfa, how old? [21:09] around 5 [21:09] tony403, that's because they're probably built to have their own volume control and not assuming that the signal from the volume up/down really means you want the volume to go up or down. You'll have to find a way to get it to go around the game system for interpreting the key strokes (because your volume up/down buttons are keys) and hand them off to KDE or Gnome, whichever you're suing. [21:09] it does support 1024x768 [21:09] using* [21:09] agomez, try this http://www.ubuntux.org/edit-fstab-to-mount-partition-at-startup [21:10] Thanks artenius [21:10] this is in my xorg.conf: [21:10] Section "Screen" [21:10] Identifier "Default Screen" [21:10] Monitor "Configured Monitor" [21:10] Device "Configured Video Device" [21:10] EndSection [21:10] alfadog331: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:10] Alfa, go to System>Administration>Hardware Drivers, make sure i'ts enabled [21:10] hello, i'm wondering if theres a faster repo for the update manager.. the current one is only giving me 40kb/s [21:10] tony403, what those games are doing is handing the sound they want to play to the sound system of the computer and forgetting about it. [21:10] I'm trying to run windows xp inside ubuntu 8.04. I just installed VirtualBox [21:10] Zigara, everyone's complained about that lately, some servers even have horrible ping [21:11] ah [21:11] how to limit bandwith for an ip or eth interface by tc comand? [21:11] Does anyone know how to point it to the XP partition without instaling XP again? [21:11] i dont see a place for drivers kohlrak [21:11] PeterFA, thanks. it's not a real big deal. just wondering if i was the only one [21:11] Kohlrak: so basically we just gotta wait for the servers to get fixed? [21:11] tony403, you may be able to find a way to bind those keys so that they're interpreted first but I don't know. [21:11] jaybrog: i do not think that is possible [21:11] jaybrog, bad idea... virtual machines dont' have the same hardware and windows doesn't like hardware changes [21:11] Mimi: hey i got it to work, thanks i just had to remove it and reinstall it. then reconfigure the cdrom drive since i have two [21:11] thanks [21:12] Kohlrak, thanks :) [21:12] Zigara, if they get fixed. Could be budget cuts. I really don't know what's going on. [21:12] oooh [21:12] hi [21:12] atlef, Thanks :) [21:12] slaut [21:12] tony403, I don't think that's the right approach because when the game is closed then the sound will be really high, so you'd have to turn it down, which doesn't really solve the problem. [21:12] bsr [21:12] ah okay, thanks Kohlrak [21:12] atlef, it is possible, just windows will complain and not run XD [21:12] Zigara: you could go to software sources and click on "select best server", it might move to another one [21:12] jaybrog: why not install in a virtual machine [21:12] this is my xorg.conf : http://paste.ubuntu.com/11012/ [21:12] tony403, you'll just have to live with it. [21:13] ok, thanks ramukmar [21:13] i tried that reconfigure command [21:13] but got me the same thing [21:13] atlef, Just insert the XP disc and install it from VirtualBox? [21:13] Kohlrak: i know, but not easy, and vmware is better [21:13] Anyways, how do I manually unlock the dpkg database? [21:13] * Brent^ cant wait til he learns hpw to write his own operating system [21:13] atlef, i know... I'm just sayin' it's possible... XD [21:14] jaybrog: do you know how to use VirtualBox? [21:14] alfadog, so you used the restricted drivers? [21:14] To much traffic on this channel to be able to read or help as I get dizzy. But keep up the great work gents. [21:14] with separate /home can i go from hardy32bit to hardy64bit as in fresh installing? [21:14] sorry kohlrak i dont know anything about "restricted drivers" my first time [21:14] #adempiere [21:14] atlef, I've read some guides on doing this, it's just they all create an image to run from. I'd like to boot from my existing XP partition :) [21:14] atlef, what do you mean? [21:15] hi, I just upgraded to lastest release, and my gnome-terminal is doing this annoying beep, anyone knows how to turn it off? [21:15] alfadog, System>Admistration>Hardware Drivers (Sometiems called restricted drivers) [21:15] Jaybrog, thats impossible [21:15] yes elpargo one sec and ill find it for you [21:15] Kohlrak: i want to install the 64bit version, and have currently the 32bit installed [21:15] paulcross, thanks for clearing that up [21:16] elpargo, http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2007/07/17/disable-your-internal-speakers-beep-in-linux/ [21:16] jaybrog, you want to run a virtual machine? [21:16] elpargo: well you can rmmod the module but there is a config option to turn that off [21:16] elpargo, yes [21:16] elpargo: go into alt+F1 then systen admin/ sound or prefresen sound [21:16] atlef, it's easy if you don't mind buying temporary storage while you reformat. [21:16] Is it possible to use tap on a wireless network card... Anyone ?! [21:16] Kohlrak: ? [21:16] Anyone use opera? [21:16] hey, has anyone had any luck getting a Broadcom 94311 wireless card working in hardy? [21:16] yes [21:16] VirtualBox, VMWare, or QEMU? ubuntu 8.04 [21:16] i have seperate /home [21:17] you can move the files you want to keep to storage, reformat, install over again XD [21:17] oooooooh [21:17] um.... [21:17] oh i found it [21:17] jaybrog, a long time ago I did that with vmware, but you needed the non-free version. [21:17] have fun with that atlef XD [21:17] Newb: yes, anything with opera? [21:17] jaybrog, Virtualbox [21:17] "no proprietary drivers found on this system" [21:17] thanks Mimi, LaneLimited I'll check that out. [21:17] kitche, what module?? [21:17] ramukmar: Flash isn't working although I got the plugin [21:17] OH HAI THAR anyone know how to make my ntfs usb drive mount at ****BOOT**** [21:17] !hardware | alfadog331 [21:17] alfadog331: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [21:17] elpargo, How was your experience using vmware? [21:17] Kohlrak: well, it should not be a problem, just wondered [21:18] Newb: i guesthe new flash plugin doesn't work with [21:18] how do I get google earth on my computer? have installed googleearth-package but running that command just says it doesnt exist, what do i do? [21:18] Alfadog, check the video card list for your card [21:18] elpargo: just follow the link that someone gave you and it tells you what you want to do [21:18] Newb: i guess you're on opera 9.27? [21:18] Newb: the new flash plugin doesn't work with opera, you need to get an older version [21:18] michalski: googleearth.com [21:18] thank you :) [21:18] cant i just add some rules in my xorg.conf? [21:18] jaybrog, it was way too long ago, they have improved a lot since. but today the cool kid in town seems to be virtualbox [21:19] ramukmar: what version do you suggest? [21:19] alfa, does no good if youi don't have the drivers. Computer has to know how to sue your card to use it. =p [21:19] elpargo, ah, I see. Thanks! [21:19] im running a radeon 9600, what sort of performance boost (if any) does the restricted driver have? [21:19] Newb: hmm, there was a thread on the ubuntuforums about this...try searching there? one member had posted a compatible flash plugin there [21:19] Guys. HOW FAST is your firefox loading. [21:19] ConstyXIV: umm more pain then anything [21:19] ramukmar: ok thanks [21:19] paulcross, i have 20~ tabs open and it takes 1 to 2 secods [21:20] ramukmar: do you also use FF? [21:20] Mimi, That's so fast................... [21:20] paulcross, ff3b5 *grin* [21:20] Isn't flash supported already in hardy? =p [21:20] upgrading to hardy meant i no longer have xmms :(.... what to do? sudo apt-get install xmms doesnt work! [21:20] is there a command to see which graphical card u got? [21:20] Newb: yup [21:20] ahhh cool, I didn't think that was so easy, thanks again guys [21:20] alfadog331: sudo lshw -C video [21:20] alfadog331: lspci | grep -i vga [21:20] paulcross, takes me about 15 seconds on windows lol..... [21:20] arooni, i have the same problem with other programs. I'm not a happy pappy [21:21] Kohlrak, which other prgrams? [21:21] what is my replacement for xmms in hardy folks? [21:21] firefox solutions, i can only install versions of firefox =( [21:21] ah it's a Trident Microsystems CyberBlade XPAi1, which on dont see on wiki.ubuntu.com :( [21:21] Mimi, Same thing happend to me,but this time is under ubuntu. [21:21] firefox load time depends a lot on what you have. mine boots in a couple of minutes [21:21] is there anyway to disable the hardware driver icon? [21:22] elpargo: minutes? o_O [21:22] jack-desktop, the restricted thingy? [21:22] arooni: it is xmms2 [21:22] elpargo, yes [21:22] Newb: here you go: http://sudan.ubuntuforums.com/showthread.php?t=657110 [21:22] jack-desktop: just double click on it (enter your password) then close the window, and it'll go away for good [21:22] Vlet, yea I always got +20 tabs, then the plugins.... [21:22] ppl complaining that flash isn't installed by default in ubuntu might do well to remember that it's not installed by default in any version of windows either.. [21:22] jack-desktop, it will go away after the first check. [21:22] Newb: i'm sure there are other threads [21:22] ramukmar: flash vids are extremely slow in FF since using xubuntu. They are like 2 fps [21:23] * Mimi thumbs up zcat[1] [21:23] elpargo, Vlet, i've tried that [21:23] zcat, non-free works (seemingly) right away in hardy once chosen [21:23] if you system was randomly freezing and you had already tested the memory and hard drives, what log files would you look at for help [21:23] ramukmar: I found how to make it work in opera [21:23] Newb: hmm, that's strange...haven't had that problem with FF here [21:23] samuofm, Administration > System Logs [21:23] jack-desktop: what kind of driver does it suggest to you? [21:23] agreed zcat[1], although it's a little more braindeath to get it under winblows. [21:23] what problem is newb having? [21:24] Sarge_TJ, it's just saying that my nvidia driver is in use [21:24] Kohlrak: low fps in flash videos [21:24] what do you type to know wich drivers are used for my soundcard? [21:24] ah....................... [21:24] Kohlrak: in firefox [21:24] elpargo: it's the same. You click the pussle piece or the button up top and it installs [21:24] ramukmar, i'm having trouble with firefox too. I don't know if it's flash or javascript or ff itself [21:24] ramukmar: im on 400 Mhz celron which could be the problem... but with win 98 I dont think i had a problem [21:24] Mimi you there? [21:24] zcat[1], ehhh you shouldn't be using that. that's why there is a package for it [21:25] should I add any additional repo to install gcad on 8.04 box? [21:25] yes Streett [21:25] whats up Streett [21:25] Kohlrak: oh ok, i haven't come across that myself [21:25] elpargo: there is NO difference.. if anything it's easier in ubuntu, you don't have to click next several times .. (the pussle piece in hardy actually does install the flashpluginee package) [21:25] Ok..Did that Install Checked Sound Config [21:25] Now that flash has been brought up. I have a question. [21:25] All Pointing to USB Audio [21:25] *puzzle *flashplugin-nonfree [21:25] I'm having this problem, Flash videos appear as a big grey circle around a play arrow. [21:25] Those are the only ones I hear with the Headset [21:25] Newb: tried running firefox from a terminal? just wondering if it says something there [21:26] zcat[1], oh rly? I didn't knew that. pre-hardy it just downloaded like windows. [21:26] What are the minimum requirements for Ubuntu desktop? [21:26] * elpargo goes sit in the corner [21:26] how to limit bandwith for an ip or eth interface by tc comand? [21:26] ramukmar, it dosn't really stick out. Only on certain sites. Some sites work on windows firefox but not ubuntu firefox, but so far i've only found one site like that. It used to work on gutsy, though, that's the weird part. [21:26] isnt there a a simple one comand for an ip to limt a bandwidth? please. give me a solution to limit band. i cant do a simple task .. i hope there would be a easy app. a gui i dont have to read many pages for just one command [21:26] a mere comand for limiting band [21:26] I've read this is flashblock. [21:26] elpargo: since about gutsy I think [21:26] i have an error while upgrading from 7.10 [21:26] Back Up to YouTube and Still Not Able to Hear [21:26] Pentium 2 400 MHz 256 MB RAM should be fine? [21:26] Windows XP runs fine on it. [21:26] using apt-get dist-upgrade [21:26] Ran Through the Ubuntu Hardware Test..All is Well There [21:26] I got a idea about to make Ubuntu better in the Installation... Why don't use a choose in the installationen to install Standard desktop OR choose what for desktop you want to install... (Desktop I mean Sessions like KDE, Gnome etc.) If you want to install more than only the standard [21:26] like: [21:26] What do you want to install?... Gnome 2.2, KDE3, KD4, xfce...more? [21:26] Kohlrak: ok, that is weird :/ [21:26] and you can install all if you want [21:26] SliM1: can you pastebin the error? [21:27] Hello? Please answer. [21:27] atlef, is xmms2 a command line option thing only? [21:27] ClaireQuilty_, that depends on your definition of fine. but yea linux uses less resources than win* [21:27] i can not install linux-vserver-image-2.6.17-11-vserver-generic the repository its on appears down dpkg.u32.net, anyone know of another repository with it? [21:27] Master is at 100% === slestak is now known as slestak|away [21:27] so I'm trying to download kubuntu-kde4-desktop from the synaptic package manager, why does it say it's going to take 2 days to download 500mb? It's going at like 2b/sec. [21:27] ramukmar, that's why i'm not just putting that site on my list of things to keep windows for... i wanna know why it ain't working.... [21:27] elpargo: Surf computer for mum. [21:27] LeetSweden: not enough space on a CD .. [21:27] danbhfive: right away [21:27] I think the default is the best. KDE XFCE all bad. [21:27] ClaireQuilty_: the livecd installer needs more Ram than that to run, I believe [21:27] !reqs | ClaireQuilty_ [21:27] ClaireQuilty_: Hardware requirements to install, boot and comfortably use Ubuntu are listed at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements - For a !flavor with lower requirements, see !Xubuntu [21:27] Coild Be That.. [21:27] ClaireQuilty_, I made one of those using xubuntu [21:27] LeetSweden: it might make for a nice DVD though.. "*ubuntu" [21:27] BRB.. [21:27] danbhfive: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11014/ [21:27] frogscott1: please switch to a static ip when you get the chance [21:27] ClaireQuilty_, if its just going to be used for surfing the web you might want to try xubuntu [21:28] hi - is there anyway to make a snapshot of your system so if you mess it up in anyway, you can roll back? [21:28] ClaireQuilty_, well that will depend on which mom you are talking about :) [21:28] ClairQuilty: I have 128 mb so Im on xubuntu [21:28] majikins: partimage is like ghost works quite well [21:28] how can i get xmms back on hardy? or somethign similar??? [21:28] majikins: there are various hacks like putting etc into svn .. [21:28] arooni: it is xmms2 [21:28] ClairQuilty: might wanna try that [21:28] xmms2 work arooni? [21:28] does ubuntu have a wifi channel specifically? [21:29] nothing like xp though? recovery point? [21:29] xomp, i don't think so, but i wish it did XD [21:29] atlef, that seems to be command line only... when i run it from command line it just gives me text... plus i dont see it in the sounds menu [21:29] !info backupninja [21:29] backupninja (source: backupninja): lightweight, extensible meta-backup system. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.9.5-2 (hardy), package size 79 kB, installed size 396 kB [21:29] Kohlrak, no doubt lol [21:29] SliM1: maybe the package downloaded wrong. you could try deleting it, and running the upgrade again. BUT, I'm no expert [21:29] xomp, wifi? [21:29] arooni: audiacous or close to what name is the "new" xmms pretty much unless you want to use xmms2 that is like mplayer and the frontends for it is not great [21:29] elpargo, yeah, wireless interwebs [21:29] Kohlrak, too ^^ [21:29] from my experiences so far with my gpu (nvidia geforce 4 mx) and ubuntu,the OS itself doesn't offer as much video support.would this be caused by driver support or by actual OS protocols? [21:29] xomp, I think you don't undestand the concept of a wifi channel. [21:30] we need an official ndis faq so people don't have trouble with wi-fi anymore =p [21:30] I always install ubuntu, after that I always need to install KDE throuh the console,,, I wants that function in the Install-disc [21:30] LeetSweden, get kubuntu? [21:30] elpargo, I'm talking of a wifi card support "channel" as in IRC, not the broadcast channel ffs [21:30] arooni: ok [21:31] arooni: it is kind of outdated, is it not [21:31] xomp, ahhh ok. we'll that shouldn't give enough trouble to have a dedicated thing. [21:31] does anyone know how to edit streamtuner default actions (which is to launch xmms)? or at least how to alias the xmms command to launch audacious instead [21:31] Are the US Repos fixed yet? Or should I continue using New Zealand? [21:31] elpargo, yah, there is a #ubuntu-wifi and it appears to be registered, but empty lol [21:31] Some_Person- if what you use now is fine,keep using it :) [21:31] Question - is it possible for the volume controls on my laptop to control networked pulseaudio sound? [21:31] Trying to play startcraft...get this? http://www.imagebam.com/image/b160a05997991 [21:31] New Zealand servers work faster? XD [21:31] evilbug: it's just a bit slower than US would be, but working === MidgetARG is now known as MidgetSpy [21:32] the repos == 56k for me :( [21:32] xomp: which ones? [21:32] yea, i think some one took a budget cut or something [21:32] scratch that, make it 28.8 for me lol [21:32] elprago Yes, I got Kubuntu to, but a want KDE and Gnome [21:32] Some_Person, USA [21:32] xomp: im getting 80k on New Zeland, try that [21:33] Some_Person, ok, thanks. KDE4 will take 2 days on the usa repos lol [21:33] Some_Person- i'm using the MIT one and i'm getting my max download spee. [21:33] Anyone know how to mount a ntfs usb drive at startup, let me know, kthxbai [21:33] xomp: but it is still slow, it fluxuates between 90k and 60k [21:33] hello, I upgraded to 8.04 and now my Hauppage PVR-150 has no sound (other sound sources work ok), tried with mythtv, mplayer and output to a mpg file and no sound at all [21:34] Mimi, kthxbai? [21:34] google it [21:34] Hi room, how can i find out the keymapping of my keyboard. I have setup a wiimote mouse in ubuntu and would like to press the 'volume up' and 'volume down' buttons when using + or - buttons. Any Suggestions? [21:34] lolcat in the house, heh [21:34] I Useually have Gnome, KDE and xfce installed on my linux-OS... It's Becouse other desktop have some own great functions and some other stuff :P [21:34] Hi! I have to say that 8.04 is a bit quirky! The IOWait CPU load is way to often. [21:34] Mimi, you come here looking for help and you can't answer my question of what kthxbai is? lulz [21:34] holy crap, my downloads just shot through the roof in speed o.O [21:34] Mimi, google it ;) [21:34] But I'm glad that suspend finally works [21:35] Hi, I was wondering how I can change my gnome terminal encoding from UTF-8 to iso? I tried Terminal -> Set Character Encoding -> ISO but it doesn't work. Any help please? [21:35] xomp, 'ok thanks bye" .... need half a brain for it? O.o [21:35] I just updated to 8.04 and changed my xorg.conf to get the weel of my mouse working but now, I m kind of confuse under firefox... I'm used to do a wheel click and go up or down to read a page but when I do that now, I got a different action... it brings me to another page or something like that... is it a configuration stuff inside firefox 3 ? === tdoggette_ is now known as tdoggette [21:35] is it possible for the volume controls on my laptop to control networked pulseaudio sound? [21:35] Drugon: it should work [21:35] Drugon: your locale may still be UTF-8 though [21:35] Mimi, no, I just find it rude is all. Might want to adjust your attitude as not much help will be given to smart-ass folks. [21:36] keanu, Yes that worked directly when I installed it [21:36] Drugon: Do you have a reason to use an ISO locale? they're legacy encodings and deprecated. [21:36] anyone with a Hauppauge PVR-150 and Ubuntu 8.04? [21:36] I agree with xomp on the rudeness [21:36] is there a way to tell what pkg owns a certain file (not installed ) [21:36] xomp, dont worry i do my big share of helping around here. [21:36] ho scaricato i driver della mia scheda video radeon express 200M dal sito del produttore .il file ha estensione.run come faccio ad installarli da terminale? [21:36] I'm wondering which programs handle suspend and mounted usb storage devices (hal AFAIK)... thanks! [21:36] eg libgvc.so how could I searc h to see which pkg this is part of [21:36] nat2610: about:config - middlemouse.contentLoadURL set it to false [21:36] Drugon: there might be some bumps when transitioning to UTF-8 but it's worth it in the long run [21:36] Mimi: Why not just put the mount command in your login script [21:36] xomp, i wasnt tryying ot be rude sorry if i hurt your lol-ego [21:36] Chousuke: well, I use irssi in a terminal and in my language letters like ñ and ç are used - and Windows users can't see them [21:36] Mimi, doubt it if you can't figure out how to automount an NTFS drive on boot, pretty elementary if you ask me. [21:36] If I want to use gparted to resize the Ubuntu partition I'm currently using, do I have to run gparted from a CD or something like that? [21:36] Drugon: use recode in irssi, then [21:36] vlet wont it ask for password [21:36] Drugon: that's what I do :) [21:37] fugitivo: i have the same problem [21:37] hi! [21:37] Mimi: fstabmaybe [21:37] lorenzo_, great, i'm not the only one [21:37] then help me xomp because everything i tried has been a epic fail, and now youre the one being rude [21:37] fugitivo, no, many people have it [21:37] LeetSweden, unless I didn't set up the pulseaudio config on my laptop (client) I can't figure out how to get it working [21:37] robeph, no way [21:37] fstablolwtfbbq should help Mimi [21:37] Chousuke: Interesting, I'll investigate. Thanks! [21:37] i would like to know what is the best software for programming in c++ [21:37] Drugon: I use UTF-8 globally and just tell irssi to send stuff using ISO-8859-1 on a per-channel basis. [21:37] Mimi: fstab :p [21:37] why [21:37] thats what I do [21:37] with autocompletion and all this stuff [21:37] lol xomp xD! [21:37] lorenzo_, any fix yet or the reason of the problem? [21:37] fugitivo, looks like a bug in hardy, as far as i know [21:37] Chousuke: aha :) [21:37] how to simply limit 192.168.0.3 to 15kb/s ? [21:37] or how to simply limit eth2 to 15kb/s ? [21:37] Mimi, or try #4chan for help [21:37] STSX: I believe yes, because the partition you want to resize must be unmounted [21:37] robeph, really? i had no idea. /sarcasm [21:37] omg ewww [21:37] Mimi: oh I thought you asked that [21:37] nat2610: and activate autoscrolling in the advanced preferences [21:37] I just came in here =\ [21:37] I downloaded and installed the latest linux ATI drivers for linux and they seem to have broken my desktop. I'm not stuck in 640x480 and it's not detecting my card. What should I try? [21:38] has anyone seen the error in the firefox error console "event is not defined"? [21:38] fugitivo: i havent been able to fix it, people here suggest a fresh install but i have no time for all of that... [21:38] lorenzo_, is any open bug for this issue? i couldn't find it with google [21:38] not - now [21:38] ok, I've got a mid-term to complete, later folks \o [21:38] Mimi: if it does, then you can just give your account permissions to execute that command with sudoers (man sudoers) [21:38] ariqs, whey didn't you kept with the version from the repositories ? [21:38] danbhfive: That's what I figured, but is there any other way of doing it other than a Live CD? [21:38] lorenzo_, me neither, but I have all my house without TV :) [21:38] joaopinto: that version was causing wine to crash [21:38] ~ QUESTION ~ Can you help me with my USB mount question at https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/32484 THANKS [21:38] is there a way to tell what pkg owns a certain file (not installed ) [21:38] ariqs, do you have xgl installed? if so, get rid of it XD [21:39] STSX: why? [21:39] ariqs, are you sure the bug was on the driver and not with wine :) ? [21:39] if i install webcalendar in gutsy, can it be configured to run on one individual website of the dozens i host? [21:39] hey guys i have an hp officejet 5610 I'm trying to get the scanner to work but every time i try to open XSane image scanner it says device not found. any suggestions? [21:39] if I put a script in /etc/init.d what program do I use to control what runlevel to start at ? [21:39] fugitivo: there is a generic bug for audio problems with Hardy. Some just experience sound problems with Flash, some, like me, have no sound at all. [21:39] Mimi, do you get any error on the dmesg output ? [21:39] SimplySeth: apt-cache search runlevel [21:39] cow can I corelate a PCI ID with the device it corresponds to in /dev ? [21:39] joaopinto: pretty sure. I started out in #wine getting help from them until it was pretty much narrowed down to my video drivers [21:39] joaopinto, how do i chheck that? [21:40] lorenzo_, well I have sound, only the tv tuner is the problem [21:40] danbhfive: I just wanted to save the time and trouble of downloading/burning a CD is all. :) Maybe I could run Ubuntu live CD and just install gparted, and use it that way? Seems like it would work, yes? [21:40] SimplySeth, the command for setting startup links is update-rc.d [21:40] Question: How do I check dmsg output [21:40] joaopinto: obrigado [21:41] lorenzo_, i think i should open a bug report for this [21:41] ;) [21:41] de nada, macaquinhos [21:41] Mimi: dmesg [21:41] Mimi, on the terminal type: dmesg [21:41] fugitivo: ah sorry, i misunderstood your problem. im just tired after trying to handle this sound problem [21:41] thanks [21:41] STSX: the ubuntu live cd already has gparted on it, so if you already have a copy of that, you are set to go [21:41] fugitivo: yeah, you probably should [21:41] lorenzo_, thanks anyways [21:41] joaopinto, im supposed to read all that? there's like, ... 500 lines? [21:42] i dont know what half of it means [21:42] Mimi: pipe the output with "dmesg | grep -i whatyourelookingfor" [21:42] Why is my disk in Hardy reffered to as /dev/sda instead of /dev/hda as in Gutsy and below? [21:42] guys anyone here installed zenoss ??? [21:42] danbhfive: OK, that makes sense since it could be needed for installing Ubuntu. Thanks for the help. :) [21:42] What am I looking for ? joaopinto ramukmar [21:42] fugitivo: no problem, sorry i cant help [21:42] Mimi, btw, usb pens are usually automounted on boot [21:42] HELP PLEASE!

You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [21:47] !root | ervis [21:47] ervis: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [21:47] erUSUL: actually, there is a root, but it's locked [21:47] Are We Saying That Ubuntu Has Bugs ?

I'm getting some proposed updates as we speak. So, I'll see what happens for me [21:49] could anyone tell me how to open a .bin file?

[21:59] Hraefn, it means that klauncher is deaf] [21:59] LaneLimited: probably, its probably in a config file somewhere, and you could back it up, but I'm guessing here [21:59] thx mimi [21:59] how do I fix it....

[22:00] Mimi: LOL [22:00] which is a pain [22:00] muszek, Ubuntu 8.04 LTS. [22:00] tmapj: run that file again with the command that I gave you earlier [22:00] Don_Miguel, its like when I worked at a support call center, except people here dont have a clue [22:00] any fsck command i run just tells me wat version fsck is [22:00] BB88: same here :). what permissions do you need to change? [22:00] * Hraefn takes a number and waits in the queue [22:00] Mimi: and you were PAID there ! [22:01] Don_Miguel, i had a clue when i worked there ;) [22:01] Mimi - you may find that the usb hid(??) module is not loaded at the time the init scripts ask the kernel to mount the usb disk ... perhaps try adding the required modules to /etc/modules and see if that helps [22:01] muszek, Well basically, I have a 500gb in two partitions, both ext3. The trouble is, it seems that the second partition, is locked, contains the lost+found folder and I cannot do anything with it. [22:01] danand_, mmmmm that's japanese to me lol.... *reads again and again* [22:01] muszek, # /dev/sda2 [22:01] UUID=ccc98ae9-c9cf-4d47-9cdc-ca48db4c4b2f /media/disk ext3 relatime 0 0 [22:01] Mimi: I figure this is OJT ..

[22:02] starnestommy i just got another error [22:02] tmapj: the same one? [22:02] I installed the latest linux ati drivers and they won't work right. I'm currently stuck in my desktop at low res. Is there anyway I can roll back to the old drivers? I tried system->admin->hardware drivers and enabling the ati drivers there, but it just tries to use the same drivers that won't work. What should I do at this point? [22:02] kye change sources, read the topic and it tells you how ok? [22:02] muszek, I am confused :( [22:02] I posted a question on Launchpad too...just figured I'd pop on here and try my hand at asking here === t4g_ is now known as t4g [22:02] oh i'm sorry mini... [22:02] starnestommy no a differnet one [22:02] hi [22:02] BB88: have you tried doing something to it with gparted? [22:02] tmapj: which was? [22:02] its ok kye ^^ [22:02] muszek, Trying it as we speak. [22:02] i am new in this chat [22:02] Mimi - the kernel needs the usb stuff loaded to be able to mount the usb disk... might be that when its asked the kernel doesn't have the usb stuff working... [22:03] BB88: and what does it say? [22:03] muszek, Not sure what I am meant to be doing. I just want it to read and write [22:03] starnestommy /home/me/Desktop/RealPlayer11GOLD.bin [22:03] whhops [22:03] danand_, I read the boot messages (yup i got no life today) and it mentions usb stuff before it tries to mount --- brb ok im gonna try again -___- [22:03] bash: syntax error near unexpected token `2' [22:03] bash: syntax error near unexpected token `2' [22:03] bash: syntax error near unexpected token `2' [22:03] tmapj: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. === kye is now known as kyee [22:04] BB88: if you don't have any valuable data there, maybe try to delete the partition and re-create it? [22:04] tmapj: download it again and rerun it. If it still fails, it'll probably never work [22:04] guess I'll poke around online some more, but might just dump the Rok [22:04] BB88: and then mount it with "sudo mount /dev/sda /media/some_dir" (create that some_dir first) [22:05] i did sudo tc qdisc add dev eth1 root tbf rate 12kbit buffer 1600 limit 3000 is it 12kb/s or 12 kbps (it seems 12kbps on a trafic knemo chart) ?

I've got a problem with compiz messing up shortcuts. I can't use the super key for shortcuts any more, and also I have to type shortcuts slowly for them to work. [22:15] ompaul, I forgot to mention the system clock doesn't advance during the hang [22:16] MNZ, clock goes looks like hardware failure [22:16] Mimi, but your libflashsupport worked nicely regarding rythmbox and firefox...thanks :) [22:16] Rat409, x45-onyour6: http://pastebin.ca/1012032 [22:16] I just tested ubuntu hardy with my hp pavillion, .. neither the keyboard nor the mouse work (PS2 interface) .. usb works.

[22:19] TheOther, put some pillows on hardy so totem doesnt crash so hard [22:19] ompaul, actually I think the pinging was misleading. Perhaps it was the router replying or something? I'm not sure how it works exactly but I don't think the pc was replying [22:19] any video probs as well ? [22:19] x45-onyour6: any hints? [22:19] I have this problem: Ubuntu always restore an old session on logon, even if I logged out without any opened windows! [22:19] Hi All :) Upgraded to 8.04 and having resolution problems (Safe Modes Only) with the nvidia driver. Tried some old config files as well as a couple of tutorials but no joy. Can anyone help? === fserve_ is now known as fserve [22:19] ompaul, I mean even the system clock is down. This must mean the kernel is dead right? [22:19] Mimi: try hot scripts dot com [22:19] x45-onyour6: no, no video probs so far. funny thing is, i used to have video probs with compiz on gutsy, now they are gone [22:19] dil no thanks [22:20] MTP??? [22:20] Anyone else having a problem with configuration files being overridden? [22:20] lorenzo_: try modprone snd_intel8x0 or snd_hda_intel maybe [22:20] I installed the latest linux ati drivers and they won't work right. I'm currently stuck in my desktop at low res. Is there anyway I can roll back to the old drivers? I tried system->admin->hardware drivers and enabling the ati drivers there, but it just tries to use the same drivers that won't work. What should I do at this point? [22:20] modprobe [22:20] modprobe darn keybd [22:20] hahar, it locks up compiz completely. The only thing that responds is the mouse. All keyboard response is dropped as well as the power button. The only thing that works is a hard restart. I suspect that it has to do with the gstreamer plugin as it tends to happen when watching video content in firefox. [22:21] MNZ, not unreasonable but -- you need to start looking at kernel debugging and that is beyond the scope of irc read doc compile it all in and check it out - you assume the clock stopping would stop other things not unreasonable but no proof [22:21] * Mimi chews bubblegum loudly [22:21] give me 10 min if you can ...brb [22:21] i heard the pop [22:21] ompaul: is there some way I can disable "suspend" ?

Is there someway to get it to output debugging info or do I have to compile it? [22:22] bpat1434, check www.ubuntuforums.org or wiki.ubuntu.com [22:22] Double: have you tried the plugins?

It locks up compiz completely. The only thing that responds is the mouse. All keyboard response is dropped as well as the power button. The only thing that works is a hard restart.

BTW I've seen many people on the forums with the same problem. No solutions yet (at least I haven't found any) [22:24] TheOther: make sure you have -proposed enabled and active.

[22:29] who knows about chmod? [22:29] if so ... have you gone to admin-> hardware drivers ? [22:29] Christina18: probably depends on the company, but they'd maybe allow you to change the domain name [22:29] Christina18: then you are out $10 [22:29] crimsun: 00:1b.0 0403: 8086:27d8 (rev 02) [22:29] Subsystem: 1734:10c1 [22:29] Christina18: why not ask them?

The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [22:48] ill google it [22:48] geneticflea: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:48] Mimi is there only 1 partition on the usb drive? [22:48] geneticflea: http://pastebin.com [22:49] geneticflea: paste it there and give me the url [22:49] ok cool, now how do i open the xorg.conf? [22:49] danbhfive, here you go thank you http://paste.ubuntu.com/11019/ [22:49] yes paradizelost [22:49] Mimi did you try /dev/sdb instead of /dev/sdb1? [22:49] you cant mount a drive... you need to mount a partition O.o [22:49] depends on how you formatted it. [22:49] plus mount /dev/sdb1 works im not stupid. [22:50] geneticflea: use vi, vim, nano or whatever text editor you'd like [22:50] ive used the drive several times [22:50] ok, just wanted to check [22:50] im just having trouble making it automoount at boot [22:50] geneticflea: its in /etc/X11/xorg.conf [22:50] ah thanks nokia [22:50] well, if you can mount it manually, just add to your crontab: @reboot mount /dev/sdb1 [22:50] i have the same problem as genetic flea, have tried recnfiguring xserver, copying my backup xorg.conf file, installed nvidia settings manager all with no luck. nvidia settings manger says that i am not using the nvidia drivers but they are enabled through bith the xorg.conf and the restricted driver manager [22:51] erm my xorg is empty [22:51] paradizelost, will that make it so it automounts everytime i boot [22:51] the @reboot executes teh command on reboot [22:51] I installed the latest linux ati drivers and they won't work right. I'm currently stuck in my desktop at low res. Is there anyway I can roll back to the old drivers? I tried system->admin->hardware drivers and enabling the ati drivers there, but it just tries to use the same drivers that won't work. What should I do at this point? [22:51] geneticflea: xorg.conf ? [22:51] so put it in root's crontab, and you should be good [22:51] what has hardy done to the !nvidia [22:51] ok well now im thinking i just wnet to the wrong folder [22:51] i tried to go to /etc/x11 and it said it didnt exist [22:51] !nvidia [22:51] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [22:52] !crontab [22:52] cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts.

[22:52] mimi just open terminal, sudo gedit /etc/crontab, and on the last line, @reboot mount /dev/sdb1 [22:52] lol ok now i sree it [22:52] this might be a longshot: does anyone know how to de-RAID a partition that was originally RAID 1? [22:52] i want to mount it like a normal filesystem [22:53] (without losing what's on it) [22:53] machrider well, it should be there. it's just a mirror, so both drives had the same data [22:53] not much to a raid1 [22:53] paradizelost: that's what i figure, but i don't want to take the trouble of restarting md on it [22:53] ok heres my pastebin of xorg.conf [22:53] can i just fdisk and change the partition type to linux? [22:53] http://paste.ubuntu.com/11020/ [22:53] machrider don't fdisk it. just try to mount it [22:53] mount doesn't know what to do with it [22:53] mount: unknown filesystem type 'linux_raid_member' [22:53] if it helps at all i have a nvidia qaudro pro 570m on my thinkpad t61p [22:54] mount -t ext3 [22:54] or whatever the actual FS is [22:54] "linux" isn't a format [22:54] nuit!! [22:54] wow, i'm stupid, that worked :) [22:54] RE: Auto mount check this link and follow sub link http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=687841 [22:54] (-t reiserfs) [22:54] paradizelost, @reboot makes it so it only wworks once right... what if i wanted it mounted everytime i boot [22:54] thanks :) [22:54] geneticflea: that was the same as mine after the upgrade [22:54] geneticflea: try running sudo dexconf and repastbinning [22:54] Mimi it works on EVERY reboot [22:54] alrioght cool.. lets me try, thanks [22:55] @reboot = 'at reboot, do this' [22:55] k [22:55] ok nokia, doing that now === nerijus is now known as Nercury [22:55] I installed the latest linux ati drivers and they won't work right. I'm currently stuck in my desktop at low res. Is there anyway I can roll back to the old drivers? I tried system->admin->hardware drivers and enabling the ati drivers there, but it just tries to use the same drivers that won't work. What should I do at this point? [22:55] geneticflea: Your problem is that the nvidia driver isen't being used by the xorg.conf .. [22:55] paradizelost, and on fstab i leave /dev/sdb1 /media/USB\040Drive ntfs-3g defaults,users 0 0 like that? [22:55] are there other package repositories for ubuntu?

[22:56] heres the new one nokia http://paste.ubuntu.com/11022/ [22:56] NickGarvey: everyones trying to update/install ;x [22:56] Mimi: hah thanks [22:56] !repomirror | NickGarvey [22:56] NickGarvey: Go to "System", "Administration", and "Software Sources" and choose "Other" from the drop down box. Then choose "select best server" and your system will choose the fastest mirror for you automatically. [22:56] I need to copy some files from my Home folder to another partition [22:56] hmm so well have to set it in the xorg file [22:56] Amun: yeah, I figured [22:56] But I keep getting permission errors === roxandSLEEP is now known as roxandAWAY [22:57] after done the upgrade from gutsy to hardy the command " sudo mount -t smbfs //192.168.22.195/mp3 /home/tchaska/mp3 -o username=myname,password=mypassword" have stop working. with the message "mount error 13 = Permission denied" anybody know how fix it? [22:57] Anyone know what I can do? [22:57] bazhang: why isnt that checkbox/button selected by default? Instead of hammering 1 server, make it select the best. [22:57] is there a way to add a new shortcut command like just type "sharethese" in terminal and it wi lexecute "chmod -R +r *" ? [22:57] Help. I enabled Auto login and now when I login I have no panel, no icons, just blank desktop. Launching programs from one of the other terminals with DISPLAY=:0 works, but launching settings applications tells me gnome-settings-manager isn't running (it is). Turning off autologin now has not fixed the problem. [22:57] or even as a rightclick option in nautilus [22:57] what is the simplest way for me to get remote access to my buddy's computer while he is running the livecd? [22:57] amun not sure--you may wish to ask the developers [22:57] Hi guys. I'm currently dual-booting WinXP and Ubuntu, each installed on a separate HDD. Is there a way to virtually boot into Windows from within Ubuntu? [22:58] is there any way for me to download updates and save to disk for a friend who is not on the net? [22:58] geneticflea: Try swapping your xorg.conf with this one: http://pastebin.com/m499cf87b [22:58] Estesark, with a vm sure [22:58] bazhang: I've never used one before, how do I do that? [22:58] Can't you use WINE to run a windows program on linus [22:58] !vm | Estesark [22:58] Estesark: There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications [22:58] Codenut: yes [22:58] Codenut, usually, yes, but in this case the particular program I want to run doesn't work with Wine. [22:59] ok doing that now nokia [22:59] Estesark, qemu might work, but windows is known to strip drivers it doesn't think you will use and not boot on a different machine (or vm) than installed on sometimes [22:59] How did you get the program into a directory of WINE. This one is driving me nuts. [22:59] paradizelost, that crontab thing didnt work [22:59] is there any way for me to download updates and save to disk for a friend who is not on the net? [22:59] I'll try then... [22:59] I installed the latest linux ati drivers and they won't work right. I'm currently stuck in my desktop at low res. Is there anyway I can roll back to the old drivers? I tried system->admin->hardware drivers and enabling the ati drivers there, but it just tries to use the same drivers that won't work. What should I do at this point?

[23:00] hey everyone === soulripper is now known as soulripper88 [23:00] ok nokia i pasted and saved what you pastebined [23:00] FunkyLarge: you need to create the mount point, sudo mkdir /media/sda3 [23:00] After the latest round of updates, my system seems to be kinda unstable and locking up randomly. The only thing I can find in the logs is that I get a signal 11 in my Xorg.0.log [23:00] From what I've heard so far, most vms want to install Windows after you've installed them - I've already got Windows.

Whats the command it uses? [23:01] FunkyLarge: or maybe not, actually just try the other persons idea first [23:01] I installed the latest linux ati drivers and they won't work right. I'm currently stuck in my desktop at low res. Is there anyway I can roll back to the old drivers? I tried system->admin->hardware drivers and enabling the ati drivers there, but it just tries to use the same drivers that won't work. What should I do at this point? How do I get rid of the dang drivers i installed safely so I can install the ones ubuntu supports? [23:02] well the bestthing for graphics is to get an nvidia card [23:02] HyperSpike: i would have agreed with you at one time, nvidia's getting worse as time goes on, even as ati is slowly getting better. [23:02] yank out the crappy ati card slide in a shiny nvidia card and apt-get install nvidia [23:02] Mimi: hope you get a good response to that one .. I am curious too !! [23:02] intel is still the best pick for "just works" graphics, of course. [23:02] Mimi: have you tried setting the drive to auto? in fstab [23:03] funny thing about that. ati used to work best [23:03] > I never got this: what is the securitt advantage of MaxAuthTries in sshd ? [23:03] nvidia got better and better. hell theyre the makers of xbox video cards. lol [23:03] *me responds for the ... 15th time today?* yes yes i have danbhfive [23:03] has anyone got vserver working on ubuntu? [23:03] HyperSpike: "were" and you obviously haven't tried using a new nvidia card. [23:03] Mimi: LOL [23:03] this card works fine in windows.. everything become a big mess/hassle in linux cause it's a mess ;P [23:03] im using one now [23:03] Mimi: i believe it uses hal [23:03] hal. [23:04] Ok. [23:04] Hardware Abstraction Layer [23:04] It uses hal. [23:04] hardware abstraction layer ? [23:04] Mimi: i know that doesn't answer your question [23:04] Thank Fish [23:04] work - works [23:04] nvidia geforce 2 i think. i cant remember anymore. it said in vista...yea i had vista rofl [23:04] It's like people like to tease me on purpose lol [23:04] HyperSpike: older cards work great, that hasn't changed. [23:04] true [23:04] oh, hai... [23:05] Mimi: I still cannot get hal (or whatever) to recognize my IDE .. [23:05] im a child of the new stuff honestly. ive always experimented on fresh hardware [23:05] Does anyone have a Zoom 5654 ADSL Modem? I think that my problem with connecting to stuff, and using torrents, is that it's not DMZ'd however I can't seem to find a way to do that, yet the features say it does support DMZ :( [23:05] Mimi, you have a perplexing problem. lol [23:05] as much as i hate plug and play and such its easier to just go with the new stuff [23:05] swiftfox keeps freezing randomly too [23:05] it DOES NOT show up as one of the SDx's [23:05] HyperSpike, you hate pnp? [23:05] yea [23:06] not as much as i hate upnp [23:06] Well there's more details here for those who are smart enough with Linux to help my stupid self. [23:06] If I'm having this much trouble I don't even know how a newbie feels when he first uses linux [23:06] Upnp is a security vulnerability, pnp saves you hours of agonizing pain [23:06] non-pnp was annoying messing around with everything. I'm glad I don't have to set jumpers on all my hardware anymore [23:06] upnp makes hacking wireless routers at businesses and shit so easy [23:06] Mimi: if you are HERE and ASKING .. you ain't STOOPID !

[23:19] sweet [23:19] tantris: theoretically, the PPA repo should have prebuilt packages [23:19] It won't let me change the settings [23:19] thanks soo much Nokia! [23:19] geneticflea: it works ? [23:20] yup, even nvidia settings [23:20] billenium, have you never mounted a windows drive? If that's the case.... type !mount [23:20] i need help setting a higher resolution for my monitor === t4g is now known as asudsahduashdusa [23:20] !mount [23:20] Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in !GNOME under !Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For !Edgy and later, see !fstab and !DiskMounter [23:20] sweet, compiz here i come! [23:20] !mount === asudsahduashdusa is now known as t4g [23:20] geneticflea: nice! Have fun with it.. nice graphic card btw... [23:20] waaiit ubotu youre crazy thats not it! [23:20] Daisuke_Laptop: thanks, but I want to change a few package settings so I need to recompile [23:20] heh thanks man! it was my grad present [23:20] Guys can anyone tell me why I can't set my Desktop cube past one virtual desktop? [23:20] well not the vido card, more like the laptop [23:20] but i plan to shun windows :) [23:20] Mimi, I was going to say... [23:20] hey billenium try how to mount a windows vista partition in ubuntu [23:20] hello, ive lost the ability to use my numpad keys, and my scrollwheel no longer switched between workspaces [23:20] oops [23:20] geneticflea: nice :P [23:20] (switches) [23:20] hey billenium go on google and search for these words : how to mount a windows vista partition in ubuntu [23:21] geneticflea: grats :P [23:21] :) [23:21] can anyone help me? [23:21] Mimi: i tried that once... Didnt work out [23:21] owner_: whats your problem ? [23:21] owner_ : i may be wrong, but i believe the setting is under the advanced desktop settings menu [23:21] yes [23:21] the colosest i came to on google was something like quit gdm run grepo nvidia, rmmod nvidia, restart the module and restart gdm, however it didnt work for me :( [23:21] everytime i restart my displayconfig settings go back to max res. even if i edit them out of xorg [23:21] you are correct [23:21] billenium, "did not work"? it would help us help you if you explained how it "did not work" [23:21] However I can't set it above 1 like I can in other distros [23:21] ive lost the ability to use my numpad keys, and my scrollwheel no longer switches between workspaces [23:22] how can i restore these functions? [23:22] Well the guide was pretty broad... So i probably did something wrong. Ill try this new guide. [23:22] If I even type in 4 it changes it back to 1 [23:22] owner_: ok i had this problem once let me see if i can remember how to fix it [23:22] I'm using the new Ubuntu [23:22] Don_Miguel: I could find you a howto- My original thought, though, was to just write a simple 'mount /dev/sdxx' and throw it in a bash script, seeing as mounting it manually seems to work. Then add the script with update-rc.d. I'm sure there's a better way to execute a script like this on startup, but it's an idea, this. [23:22] Thanks phobos [23:22] billenium, if one step or whatever doesnt work, just explain here waht you did and what ubuntu told you was wrong, someoen can surely help [23:23] Mimi, do you think this is the right one? /dev/sda1 * 1 12972 104192000 7 HPFS/NTFS [23:23] Daisuke_Laptop: ahh okay found the debian directory [23:23] owner_: in your lower right corner... do you have two virtual desktops there ? [23:23] yes [23:23] billenium, NTFS is Windows partition, so thats most likely it [23:23] okay [23:23] unless you have other window partitions [23:23] However Nokia [23:23] owner_: have you tried to right click it? [23:23] everytime i restart my displayconfig-gtk settings go back to max res. even if i edit them out of xorg too [23:23] It allows me to switch between 4 Desktops when I don't mess with the settings by draging my mouse [23:23] but on a flat plane [23:23] Don_Miguel: This looks promising. http://www.fperkins.com/HowToCreateaStartupScriptinDebian.html [23:23] I disabled the desktop wall [23:24] and enabled the cube [23:24] billenium, you can do sudo mkdir /media/windows and then sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/windows [23:24] well it says that one, Linux, Linux Swap and Extened... So... i hope thats the one :P [23:24] but it still won't let me go past 1 virtual desktop [23:24] yeah thats the one :D [23:24] anyone upgraded to 8.04? Any problems after upgrade? [23:24] in the settings [23:24] YES [23:24] I'm uising 8.04 [23:24] thats the problem [23:24] chetnick, yes i had probelms with the upgrade, ubuntu no longer makes coffee for me ;)___; [23:24] Mimi: LOL! [23:24] :) [23:24] owner_: are you just trying to rotate the cube? [23:24] Mount is denied because NTFS is marked to be in use. Choose one action: [23:24] No i can do that [23:25] But it only lets me have two desktops [23:25] not a cube [23:25] billenium, in use? type mount and see if it tells you where its mounted ;) [23:25] Ahhh cubes are the thing of the past for me :( [23:25] I went to CompizConfig Settings Manager [23:25] ewww cubes [23:25] and General Options [23:25] !enter | owner_ [23:25] owner_: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [23:25] doesnt look like /dev/sda1 is mounted anywhere... [23:25] i use compiz for more useful stuff, like, help with my add (make windows im not using look transparentt) [23:25] Cubes are sort of nice. They just seem so useless. [23:25] I installed the latest linux ati drivers and they won't work right. I'm currently stuck in my desktop at low res. Is there anyway I can roll back to the old drivers? I tried system->admin->hardware drivers and enabling the ati drivers there, but it just tries to use the same drivers that won't work. What should I do at this point? How do I get rid of the dang drivers i installed safely so I can install the ones ubuntu supports? [23:25] Ok so I went under Desktop Size and Number of Desktops and it says 1 [23:26] billenium, how about mount -a (it should not say anything0 [23:26] owner_ are you editng the horizontal virtual size? [23:26] no [23:26] Has anyone figured out how to unlock the screen after you lock it in 8.04? [23:26] It was set by default to 2 and Vertical as well [23:26] that is the one [23:26] owner_: set the horizontal virtual size to 4 [23:26] ok [23:26] owner_, have you enabled Rotate Cube? [23:26] for the cube [23:26] Windows did not shut down properly. Try to mount volume in windows, shut down and try again. [23:26] No go [23:27] and you gotta have rotate cube on [23:27] the openoffice thing failing is a known issue? [23:27] I've been trying to get vmware installed in hardy for SO LONG! :( [23:27] I'm thinking someone who designed this cool new Ubuntu 8.04 interface disabled it for a reason [23:27] also billenium type sudo more /etc/fstab and see if theres a reference to sda1 [23:27] qoncept: http://maketecheasier.com/installing-vmware-server-in-hardy-heron/2008/04/29 [23:27] Can anyone tell me what this means? There is probably a slight difference in the kernel configuration between the [23:27] set of C header files you specified and your running kernel. [23:27] thanks fish [23:27] owner_: leave the vertical virtual size and number of desktops to 1 [23:27] everytime i restart my displayconfig settings go back to max res. even if i edit them out of xorg too [23:27] sure thing xtrxfr [23:27] what should i do to make my display settings stick? [23:28] Nope... [23:28] owner_, yeah it is not being enabling authomatically after you enable Desktop Cude, so you have to enable Rotate Cube manually [23:28] hold on let me try something [23:28] billenium: make sure ntfsprogs is installed and run ntfsfix on your volume. As an alternative to booting Windows [23:28] qoncept. NP I'm a VMware-er myself [23:28] << /msg ubottu etiquette >> [23:28] I did RoAkSoAx [23:28] what the [23:28] what the [23:28] LOL [23:28] sry [23:29] Wow, ignoring channel actions is great [23:29] owner_: hold the mouse scroll wheel and drag and see if rotates the cube [23:29] sudo apt-get install ProSpa-massage ProSpa-bubblebath [23:29] I'm a newb and I just want to play Starcraft without booting in to windows [23:29] HUZAH [23:29] #wine qoncept [23:30] hey who's good at ubuntu networking? [23:30] Nope that has not been enabled xtrxfr. I should try to enable that [23:30] mimi: i had to do ntfsfix first :P [23:30] Mimi: What's that for ? [23:30] billenium, oooh that's good :D [23:30] I can do it with Ctrl+Alt+Left Click [23:30] glavanway, what is what for [23:30] Wonderfully... Almost lost something extremely important [23:30] When I watch flash videos online, (adobe flash player), i see the picture and it plays for about 5 seconds before freezing. then i have to click on the track bar again to get it to play for another few seconds [23:30] hi i have a problem with cda's i can't play them without breaks between tracks which are joined. regards [23:30] Mimi: sudo apt-get install ProSpa-massage ProSpa-bubblebath [23:31] Fogel1497, sudo apt-get install libflashsupport [23:31] glavanway, so i can relax [23:31] gnyffel: thanks, we'll go look at that one ... http://www.fperkins.com/HowToCreateaStartupScriptinDebian.html [23:31] What, ubuntu doesnt give you backrubs? [23:31] Oh, I see it was a joke. [23:31] !ot | glavanway [23:31] glavanway: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [23:31] did adobe fix the flash issue killing firefox yet? [23:31] Mimi: Oh, I see it was a joke. [23:32] aww man Don_Miguel it doesnt actually tell you how to... it tells you where to put stuff but not what to actualyl write on the ... 'script' [23:32] Mimi: did you look at the link gnyffel sent ? http://www.fperkins.com/HowToCreateaStartupScriptinDebian.html [23:32] glavanway, please take chat to #ubuntu-offtopic thanks [23:32] Y-Town, adobe doesnt love ubuntu users. sudo apt-get install libflashsupport [23:32] No other ideas? I think I need to disable something [23:32] yeah Don_Miguel [23:32] Mimi: Did they fix the crashing problem? [23:33] So did anyone know what would cause X to randomly stop? [23:33] Y-Town, well the libflashsupport thingy fixed it for me [23:33] owner_: i thought you got it to rotate with ctrl+alt+leftclick? [23:33] Y-Town, also fixed sound issues and random pauses in flash [23:33] Mimi: kewl [23:33] i try to bood from usb (lice cd, syslinux) but just end up in the initramfs shell :( [23:33] hello everyone, I'm pretty new to linux and I want to set up a mail server. Can anyone help me with it? [23:33] bazhang: I asked a question about something Mimi said. I was not chatting off topic. Nazi. [23:33] Yes xtrxfr. I could do that before I got in this chat. My question is how to enable more than two desktops. It says I only have 1. [23:34] you know how window titles will go bold in the bar when they update? is there a way to make them flash or change colors (sry i don't know the actual names, haha) [23:34] glavanway, that is not appropriate here please stop [23:34] yeah nazi stop being such a nazi, he was just asking me a question about apt-get >> [23:34] glavanway, Mimi: calling someone a nazi is definitely offtopic and not appropriate for here [23:34] xri: It is pretty easy to set up. Administrating it is the hard part. [23:34] stdin... his nickname is nazi!!!! [23:35] owner_: i don't think you can. the virtual horizontal set to 4 is pretty much your 4 desktops [23:35] Mimi: I suggest you stop [23:35] !pinning [23:35] hello everyone, I'm pretty new to linux and I want to set up a mail server. Can anyone help me with it? [23:35] pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [23:35] * Mimi tilts head [23:35] Mimi: Seems to work for me as well... now i got to fix wifeys too [23:35] How do I find out what package owns a file? [23:35] stdin: <-Nazi also [23:35] xtrxfr I still don't have 4 if I set it that way [23:35] owner_:but i could be wrong [23:36] anywho i have a interesting question, when i wanna resize something, not window borders btw....... it is so thin i have to spend a fewwwww seconds trying to get it to show the move cursor... is there a wya to make it thicker so its easier to "grab"? [23:36] well xtrxfr no other distro I used before this version of Ubuntu had this problem [23:36] I guess I'll be content with what I have.

[23:54] is back [23:54] I installed the latest linux ati drivers and they won't work right. I'm currently stuck in my desktop at low res. Is there anyway I can roll back to the old drivers? I tried system->admin->hardware drivers and enabling the ati drivers there, but it just tries to use the same drivers that won't work. What should I do at this point? How do I get rid of the dang drivers i installed safely so I can install the ones ubuntu supports? [23:54] can anyone tell me what library is generally used for graphics programming in ubuntu? [23:54] make sure it does not remove ubuntu-desktop [23:55] :))) [23:55] hi steph291 [23:55] or where i can ask [23:55] i'm still on dapper ... [23:55] hi Nercury [23:55] steph291, uninstall one by one. if one says it cant rem ove, move on to the next [23:55] monic: what kind? [23:55] ewww dapper [23:55] Come on, can't tell me over 1000 people haven't found a way to turn off Auto Play ! [23:55] monic: maybe blender? [23:55] well i am a beginner at graphics [23:55] monic, graphic programing ? for aps and such ? try asking in #ubuntu-dev maybe [23:55] I wonder if it's a good idea to upgrade/remove/install fresh [23:55] and i saw some programs use svgalib [23:55] monic: blender => 3d [23:55] okz thankyou [23:55] hagabaka: try closing firefox and removing your extensions.rdf file from your profile [23:55] steph291: try it through synaptic package manager [23:55] anybody works with python here ? [23:55] ok will do [23:55] steph291, you mean for ubuntu? I HIGH:L:Y recomend doing a fresh install [23:56] hagabaka: ~/.mozilla/firefox/... [23:56] arbir, #python [23:56] yeah I know :( [23:56] HI Pelo [23:56] steph291, too many bugs if you upgrade , but if you install from scratch its A+ :D [23:56] steph291: make a search for openoffice [23:56] bah fresh install sucks [23:56] how do you change the default media player to banshee? [23:56] i think i got my upgrade right at last [23:56] had a lot of custom packages [23:56] vbman go to preferences > prefered appliocations [23:56] Mimi: you've had issues with LTS upgrade? Like what? [23:56] Mimi: Thanks! [23:56] Hmm... I have many questions, having just switched to Ubuntu... [23:57] thanks for teh help [23:57] i installed an eric Python IDE and its a KDE app, so all menus are small and even the editor text is small. I installed KDE control center on Ubuntu and i cannot seem to change things from there as well. [23:57] dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf: fear not! fire away [23:57] For starters, why does it come with "Evolution" mail client? Isn't that commercial? [23:57] komputes, when i did upgrade instead of fresh install i got no sound no internet and poor vid driver (dont know what else i had because i got really mad and did a fresh install right away) [23:57] vbman11: click on the file type like an avi file and select Properties > Open With (tab) [23:57] Also, I could not find an IRC client except for Pidgin which seems pretty crude for IRC. :$ [23:57] dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf, xchat [23:58] Mimi: oh really? did you file a bug? [23:58] ubottu: where can I find that selection? video & sound? I don't see the listing under add/remove apps. [23:58] gtg [23:58] I installed the latest linux ati drivers and they won't work right. I'm currently stuck in my desktop at low res. Is there anyway I can roll back to the old drivers? I tried system->admin->hardware drivers and enabling the ati drivers there, but it just tries to use the same drivers that won't work. What should I do at this point? How do I get rid of the dang drivers i installed safely so I can install the ones ubuntu supports? <-- last try before I take it [23:58] to the forum [23:58] Grako: It does not come with X-Chat... :S [23:58] anyone know how to get the world clock to display UTC as one of it's Places ? [23:58] dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf: no [23:58] komputes, why would i, they'd just say im stupid and did something wrong [23:58] dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf: (evolution) [23:58] hi Grako... how can i change look n feel of KDE apps on Ubuntu ? [23:58] it's asking me to remove ubuntu-desktop [23:58] dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf, sudo apt-get install xchat [23:58] <^Tech-Help^> dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf xchat is in the repos [23:58] !ati | arbir [23:58] arbir: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [23:58] I thought Evolution was that old commercial e-mail client for Windows? [23:58] how do i get information about a non-installaded packge from apt-get? [23:58] Would've made sense to include Thunderbird, no? [23:58] dsf: No. [23:59] arbir: run 'kde-systemsettings' or 'kcontrol' from a terminal [23:59] arbir, sorry, i don't use kde [23:59] Mimi: well when i tried it it asked a lot of questions so maybe you kept something or replaced something [23:59] dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf: evolution is developed by them [23:59] what do you mean komputes [23:59] fde... i use kcontrol.. and nothing is working from there as well [23:59] dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf, evolution was a novell project in the day if I recall correctly [23:59] I've run out of ideas with my fresh hardy install. Xorg incorrectly sets up my display hardware such that I'm limited to 640x480 on a 19" monitor when the ubuntu-provided nvidia drivers are activated. Dpkg-reconfigure skips video configuration and goes right to keyboard configuration. [23:59] dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf: No, Evolution dosen't even currently run on Windows. [23:59] ariqs: I don't know if it'll work, but envyng has an option to remove ati drivers. That might work, even though you didn't install through envy. [23:59] Mimi: durring the LTS upgrade theres a lot of chances for a user to make a mistake. [23:59] i want to remove openoffice package and it's asking me for ubunto-desktop :\ [23:59] komputes, it does everything itself O.o
