[00:00] Rixon-, no it's not. the manufacturer is one of those who uses 1000's instead of 1024 to try to make it look bigger [00:00] tritium: No, not of gdm. Although reinstall ubuntu-desktop would reinstall gdm as well. but that's besides the point. [00:00] ok [00:00] peternix, what manufacturer is it? you may be able to pile onto a class-action lawsuit :) [00:00] peternix: no [00:00] any1 know of a video converter to convert avi to mp4? [00:00] tico: This might be your best bet! http://www.ubuntugeek.com/qgrubeditor-a-visual-grub-configuration-editor.html -- try it out, it works well for many. [00:00] Flannel: no, the point was that she reinstalled gdm, not ubuntu-desktop [00:00] Flannel: i dont have the disk and i'm logged in ubuntu, but I'm afraid that if i restart the machine it wont but again [00:00] peternix: it's been like that for.. well.. at least 5 years [00:00] xq: thanks [00:00] Dam [00:00] n [00:01] Flannel: I missed the last part of your message there. So the problem is in /boot then? I'll just se if i can find an ext3 filesystemn viewer that way I wont need to reboot [00:01] tico: Also a detailed how to for that tool can be found at: http://www.howtoforge.com/managing-grub-with-qgrubeditor-on-ubuntu7.10 [00:01] Slart, well, Western Digital got owned. [00:01] tritium: right, and when you said "you need to reinstall ubuntu-desktop and fast-u-s-a" I said, reinstalling hte former (u-d) will grab the latter (f-u-s-a) [00:01] tico: No problem, let me/us know if you run into anything in the configuration of GRUB [00:01] JoshJ: they did? in court? [00:01] So now WD at least uses the correct sizes [00:01] er, they settled [00:01] Flannel: indeed. [00:01] there was Seagate as well, lemme check the results of that [00:01] J-a-k-e: The problem is /boot/grub/menu.lst, which is the menu config file that tells GRUB how to boot everything, yeah. Luckily, wecan edit it in place, at the menu itself. We just need to do so. [00:01] So... [00:01] oh, Seagate settled also. [00:01] tico: But that will definitely overwrite/install to MBR (or another boot sector) for you replacing LILO [00:01] tritium, flannel, i really appreciate you two, could you help a girl out? [00:02] Monica_2: have you reinstalled ubuntu-desktop yet? [00:02] J-a-k-e: we just need to get to the GRUB menu, then we can edit it [00:02] nobody has his session closed when trying to restore a minimized aplication?? [00:02] xq: ok thanks =) [00:02] JoshJ: oh.. nice to see common sense prevail for once =) [00:02] tico: No problem, happy GRUBin [00:02] It /is/ Western Digital [00:02] tico: You're correct. It wont. Youcould try installing the grub package, but I'm not sure if that'll do everything. Can't hurt to try, at any rate. [00:02] Monica_2: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop (verify that fast-user-switch-applet is intsalled as well automatically) [00:02] hello everybody [00:02] hi dr nick [00:02] tritium, i wasnt aware that i was supposed to, is it, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop? [00:02] Hello [00:02] peternix, look carefully at the box; make sure it doesn't have "binary gigabytes" or "gibibytes" somewhere in fine print [00:03] Monica_2: yes, it was uninstalled when you removed gdm [00:03] a question for you guys [00:03] also, when'd you buy it? [00:03] excuse me [00:03] ok, just a sec [00:03] sarakh: just ask [00:03] Monica_2: I told you already ;) [00:03] i have some problems with my ubuntu [00:03] peternix, JoshJ, you mind taking it to #ubuntu-offtopic? thanks [00:03] Flannel: Gave him a link to QGrubEditor and how-to. It's "the grub configurator-magic-tool-love" hehe [00:03] Flannel: ok I'll reboot and write down what i get when i hit "e" be back in about 5 mins [00:04] hello [00:04] J-a-k-e: If you don't have a seond box, you can boot to an Ubuntu LiveCD and we can edit from that (and you can IRC from that too) [00:04] tritium, ok, it is installing those two you spoke of [00:04] JoshJ: or gigabits [00:04] when i am trying to configure 64 bit atheros i get an error of not finding a file at this command tar xvf ndiswrapper-newest.tar.gz [00:04] and when i start it i have the ubunru's splash screen and 2 second after the busybox [00:04] where do you put emerald --replace & disown so that when i log out my theme does not reset [00:04] without erros messages [00:04] Monica_2: great. Let me know if gdm works when you login. [00:04] Someone should add QGrubEditor to the Bot's grub command. It's a great GUI frontend editor for grub, post-install... [00:04] I'm having some trouble with mythtv [00:04] where do you put emerald --replace & disown so that when i log out my theme does not reset [00:04] anyone here using Azureus on Hardy?

[00:13] A PPTP VPN is not possible on neither OpenVZ nor Xen. Why? Because it needs to recompile the kernel from scratch to include some code in order to implement PPTP protocol. Otherwise, it's not possible. [00:13] How can i bring up /dev/net/tun [00:13] IndyGunFreak: good question, agp 8x or something like that [00:14] Stu, on ubuntu you can always tell it to treat it as the US layout [00:14] which will make it shift-3 [00:14] alado2: ok, i'd say most of the agp models will work fine for you [00:14] system-preferences-keyboard [00:14] Stu: what is "hash"? # ? [00:14] wtff [00:14] tritium: yes [00:14] IndyGunFreak, just for reference, i have a 7300, a 8600, and an 8800 all working great with restricted drivers [00:14] tritium: yes [00:14] Stu: on my UK keyboard, it's above the Enter key on the right side [00:14] JoshJ: just for the hash key... seems a bit odd [00:14] Hi all, I am trying to get my backend back up and running but the mysql connection keeps getting denied. "Access denied for user 'mythtv'@'localhost' (using password: YES)" I've run mythtv setup and it shows 192.168.1.25 (local box) as the mysql backend server (as it should be) and I have tested mysql from the command line (mysql -umythtv -p) and all works well there. mysql.txt also shows the proper username/pass. Anyone have any id [00:14] ea why this is failing? [00:14] why when i run to programs that deal with outputting sound does my system then get screwed up and i cant open sound files????? [00:14] SeaPhor: my 7300 works great w/ the restricted driver.. [00:14] Stu, well most other keys are the same [00:14] tritium: its a mac keyboard === Gumby` is now known as Gumby [00:14] it doesnt have a hash key [00:15] IndyGunFreak: ok good, if found a few cheap ones on ebay, thnx [00:15] alado2: np.. [00:15] ok thanks JoshJ might do that [00:15] Stu, if the KB doesn't have a hash key you're going to need to either switch it to a layout that does have one [00:15] Both Alien Arena and Tremulous play and look okay. But each game has an annoying black flicker thing going on every few seconds. [00:15] Stu: it's not shift-3? [00:15] tritium: no that gives £ [00:15] like I said, its a UK keyboard [00:15] or learn xmodmap or whatever it is that does custom keyboard commands [00:15] IndyGunFreak, just for reference :-) [00:15] Stu: ok, so it's truly a UK keyboard, just a Mac version... [00:15] No idea where they put it. [00:15] pidorasi [00:15] I mean video card question: Both Alien Arena and Tremulous play and look okay. But each game has an annoying black flicker thing going on every few seconds. [00:15] gamaseki [00:16] is there a gui front end to xmodmap ? [00:16] SeaPhor: i think *most* of the nvidia cards, work w/o issue.. i know with gutsy, there were some issues with the 8800 GTX i think, and the restricted driver [00:16] oh shit [00:16] Stu, there's a way you can switch layouts with one keypress [00:16] !language | sasori [00:16] sasori: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

[00:21] I hear that microsoft officially support xen now [00:21] !virtualization [00:21] 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 [00:21] novell's xen anyway [00:21] Stu: i'd recommend virtualbox to be honest. https://cds.sun.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/CDS-CDS_SMI-Site/en_US/-/USD/ViewProductDetail-Start?ProductRef=innotek-1.6-G-F@CDS-CDS_SMI [00:21] tritium, ne pizdi suka ebanaya. [00:21] Stu: well xen is probably a bit more then you want really [00:21] how many costs 8800gtx [00:21] ? [00:21] i've only used VMWare, myself. [00:21] i'll check out virtual box [00:21] how do i check the version i'm running with xubuntu? === freelance is now known as blumm [00:21] updates are 'up to date' but ... i doubt it. [00:21] hi [00:22] xenos_, the version of what? [00:22] max in my log it was write it [00:22] xubuntu itself? [00:22] xenos_: uname -r ? [00:22] !version | xenos_ [00:22] xenos_: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell [00:22] Huh? [00:22] i msut registrer for pm [00:22] oops thats kernel [00:22] i cant login as root anymore, it says my username isnt in sudoers [00:22] any ideas? [00:22] whats your msn/aim then? Just tell me [00:22] * SeaPhor is laying on a beach in cabbo, with a beer and a beautiful woman, thats how i feel being free of MS [00:22] i shut down ubuntu via reset button [00:22] blumm: your user is not in the sudoers file need to add it if you want to use sudo [00:22] blumm: go into recovery mode then add your user to the admin group [00:22] andrzewdu62@hotmail.fr [00:22] concurs with SeaPhor :) [00:22] since when does root need to be in sudoers? [00:23] kitche: everything worked perfectly before [00:23] why would you sudo as root in the first place [00:23] blumm, go to system>administration>users and groups, click 'unlock', root pw, check your user grups [00:23] blumm: that could be all sorts of fun. [00:23] Added you sasori. [00:23] Great! 6.06 ... how the heck do i upgrade i've done the 'do-release-upgrade' but says No new release found [00:23] Stu, i assume he doesn't know what "root" itself is and thinks sudo = logging in as root [00:23] !upgrade | xenos_ [00:23] xenos_: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [00:23] JoshJ: yes good assumption [00:23] Stu: I limit root myself but more with ACL's and such :) [00:24] sudo -s is my friend although I know I shouldnt [00:24] in system -> many programs disappeared [00:24] ??? [00:24] * SeaPhor shares ice-chest with DG19075 [00:24] hey, anyone know how to start NetworkManager on startup without having to do it with gksu or sudo or smt?

[00:25] The only problem I have is with the login screen..I'm running 8.04, and can't get the login off 1280x1024..Anyone figure tht out? [00:26] fxfitz, if you're sure you want to do that, you have to setup subnets, and/or acl's [00:26] klaes: In general, if you want to start an app at startup as root user, you can put it in your /etc/rc.local file. [00:26] Hey all, I installed virtualbox, and got some vboxdev.ko or something like that from synaptic package manager, and now my computer will not succesfully boot [00:26] SeaPhor, Yup, I'm pretty sure I want to do it. How would I go about doing that? [00:26] Rixon-: i just tried that, i get an error msg, saying authentification failed [00:27] The progress bar just bounces back and forth for a really long time until it finally gets to a screen that says BusyBox built-in shell (ash), and sits there with (initramfs) displayed with a blinking cursor [00:27] fxfitz, or you could setup a ssh server instead, depends on what you're trying to accomplish [00:27] how can i change anything, when my root password isnt accepted anymore? [00:27] SeaPhor, I want to be able to mount a folder from my server as a regular drive from linux AND Windows machines. [00:27] STSX, omg, thx, thats perfect :) [00:28] DG19075: have you read this? http://linuxfud.wordpress.com/2006/08/13/gdm-login-screen-resolution-too-big-to-fit-screen-try-this/ [00:28] klaes: No problem, glad to help. :) [00:28] fxfitz, over the local network, or over the internet? [00:28] STSX, btw, would i have to put like... "NetworkManager &" or can i leave out the "&"? :) [00:28] Hi, can someone help me with a sound problem? There is no audio on my laptop and if I hit "test" under sound preferences I get "audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat: Failed to connect stream: Invalid argument". How do I fix this? [00:29] How do I tell firefox to do HTTP and IPv6? [00:29] SeaPhor, Over the internet. [00:29] SeaPhor, It works perfectly over the local network :-P [00:29] blumm: try going into recovery mode then adding your user to the admin group with "adduser admin" [00:29] how to start Samba? [00:29] xodiak, sudo /etc/init.d/samba start [00:29] xodiak: sudo invoke-rc.d samba restart [00:30] Starnestommy: how do i get into recovery mode? [00:30] are you sharing a directory via samba or sonnection to a share ? [00:30] connecting* [00:30] klaus: That's a good question, and I'm not sure, but I suspect you may have to run it in the background with the & like you suggest. You could try it without, put a command after it, and see if the other command is run. [00:30] sorry, im totally new [00:30] is there an app that will organize the menus better [00:30] fxfitz, then you want VPN? [00:30] blumm: reboot, press esc at the prompt, then select the recover mode option [00:30] SeaPhor, What's VPN? :( [00:30] thx, will try that right now [00:30] fxfitz, Virtual Private Network [00:31] STSX, ye, ill have a go at it, thx again :) [00:31] SeaPhor, And how come I need VPN and not Samba? everyones been telling me Samba is the thing ti use :-P [00:31] STSX, brb, relogging... gotta try it no? ^^ [00:31] fxfitz, Samba is local [00:32] klaes: Sounds good! Sorry I have to go now, good luck though. :) [00:32] hey does vmware workstation/server allow you to use a partition as a disk for the virtual machine, this virtual box insists on using flat file [00:32] SeaPhor, Ahh. Alright. Well, if I set up a VPN on my ubuntu machine, I'll be able to mount it like a regular drive from ubuntu and windows? [00:32] all this room joining/leaving is crazy... wonder if I can turn it off [00:33] you can, but i don't know how in Purple IRC [00:33] Stu: it depends on your client [00:33] purple IRC is Pidgin i assume? [00:33] this may to much to explain here. but how do I get my ubuntu machine to show up in windows networking to share files? [00:33] yes [00:33] JoshJ: it is [00:33] HOW ABOUT on irssi? [00:33] Stu: pidgin can't do it [00:33] (excuse the caps0 [00:33] sux [00:33] xodiak: in irssi, /ignore #ubuntu joins quits parts nicks [00:33] er, xenos_ [00:33] SeaPhor, And would it be secure? What I liked about samba was only one user would be able to access it [00:34] fxfitz, yes, in windows you add a connection in network places "vpn" on linux i dont know, I'm still a n00b :-) [00:34] tools-preferences-sounds will get rid of the sounds ones (uncheck person enters/leaves chat) but i don't know if you can get rid of the lines === freelance is now known as blumm [00:34] xenos_: you might need to to put + in front of joins quits parts [00:34] kitche: it worked [00:34] Starnestommy: thanks a lot, m8 - that helped me to solve the problme [00:34] i've just created a fat32 partition /dev/sda5 how can I mount it ? [00:35] fxfitz, vpn is secure user authenticated [00:35] i think id be back to windows if this channel didnt exist :)) [00:35] or device or certificate authenticated [00:35] Stu, mount -t vfat /dev/sdat /media/MyFatPartition [00:35] blumm, even a broken Ubuntu install is better than Windows [00:36] Stu, the last part will say where you are mounting it [00:36] Nyad: thanks can I use vfat in fstab too ? [00:36] yes [00:36] k, ta [00:36] JoshJ: well, i have yet to find a ftp client with socks5, ssl, fxp support [00:36] does ubuntu have anything comparable to convertx to dvd? [00:36] raul: http://www.learnosity.com/techblog/index.cfm/2007/12/24/HOWTO-Create-DVDs-on-Ubuntu [00:36] hi, i've got a question. i'm thinking about installing ubuntu on my server (ubuntu-server) and i was wondering if the amd64 packages are worth it.. i don't want buggy stuff and i want maximum compatibility [00:37] Stu, if you want extra info check in the system documentation index under hardware section. It has more info if your keen on learning [00:37] Nyad: sorry what are you talking about ? [00:37] Anyone want to help a noob get online wired? been through every solution i can think of and i am stumped [00:37] ?? [00:37] blumm, you mean on ubu or windows? [00:37] raul: another good link... http://linuxappfinder.com/alternatives [00:37] ron459: is the card detected? [00:37] i believe so [00:37] jerrcs: well for a server it is not really amd64 is very stable just a lot of holes you need to jump though to get stuff working for desktop use really [00:38] ron459: does it show up in iconfig ? [00:38] er ifconfig [00:38] Stu, documentation that comes with ubuntu, it can explain more than I can since Im also a novice, thats where I learnt [00:38] stu-i believe it does [00:38] JoshJ: on ubuntu of course, im so sick of windows [00:38] kitche: so amd64/intel64 is a good choice for servers with 64bit capable processors? [00:38] blumm, doesn't firefox's FTP stuff do all that? [00:38] stu - it all appears normal [00:38] ron459: are you on this machine at the moment ? [00:38] i can do either i386 or amd64 i just wanna know if it's "that much better" [00:38] this server will be used for large website hosting [00:38] stu-no-i am on my vista laptop [00:38] jerrcs: yes amd64 is excellent there is not such thing as intel64 unless it's ia64 really [00:38] JoshJ: no, unfortunately not. either socks, ssl or fxp support is missing [00:38] hrm. [00:39] kitche: well, amd64 is really for intel emt64 processors too [00:39] ron459: ok so how many network adapters does this machine have ? [00:39] thats what i mean, sorry [00:39] jerrcs: I just don't suggest amd64 for desktop use myself others might though [00:39] correct [00:39] JoshJ: lftp is capable to do all that, but its a command line program and i am not good enough to use it [00:39] does ubuntu let you run gparted or something like that on installation? [00:39] scooby2, yes [00:39] jerrcs: I understood what you want just making a clearification just in case someone else wants to chime in :) [00:39] blumm, does gftp have it? an apt-cache search for "fxp" turns it up [00:39] stu-one - plus a wireless card wich doesnt appear, but i am not concerned about that now, i only need a wired connection [00:39] kitche, jerrcs, i love my AMD64 desktop box [00:39] kitche: ok :P [00:40] ron459: ok open a terminal and type sudo ifconfig what do you see ? [00:40] kitche, jerrcs, just gotta make sure that you get the amd64 packages :) [00:40] JoshJ: thanks [00:40] how to list running processes? [00:40] JoshJ: gftp has fxp support but no ssl spport [00:40] xodiak, ps -e [00:40] well, i like ubuntu on my desktop (when i had it working.. my computer broke -- etc...) anyways [00:40] xodiak, JoshJ, or top from terminal :) [00:40] ish_nitti: to bad you have to jump though holes for some stuff which is why I don't suggest it really [00:40] i'm really taking a jump here and moving my production server to ubuntu-server instead of gentoo [00:40] stu - i see a lot of stuff [00:40] ish_nitti: unless you have more then 4 gbs of ram [00:40] JoshJ: when i use tlswrap to do the job i cant use my proxy anymore... [00:40] can i get more specifics? [00:40] ron459: do you see eth0 ? [00:40] and i'm just wanting whats best for stability and performance on my new server OS :) [00:40] stu yes [00:41] ron459: does it have an IP address ? [00:41] blumm, best advice i can give you then is to read the lftp manual :\ [00:41] kitche, to me, ubuntu 64bit is more compatable than 64bit windows [00:41] ron459: do you have something on your network that will hand out DHCP addresses ? [00:41] Whenever I use apt-get to try and install a package and that package fails for whatever reason.... Any subsequent apt-get calls to try and install anything else.... it always tries to install the first failed package.... any ideas? [00:41] kitche, when a user is running 64bit, i always have them install the amd64 cd [00:41] ish_nitti: considering 64bit windows is not 64bit windows but anyways going a tad offtopic [00:41] JoshJ: i did, but as unix newbie all that isnt easy. you would need someone who did all that already [00:41] kitche, lol [00:42] stu-i dont think it assigned an ip [00:42] hello [00:42] szx0, what does sudo apt-get update do? === bderrly_ is now known as bderrly [00:42] stu-i am not sure about the dhcp question. [00:42] nevermind, i'm an idiot, i fixed it [00:42] ron459: what does this machine plug into via the wired connection? a router of some sort? [00:43] stu-i tried it plugged into directly to my modem and it still gave me no signal [00:43] ish_nitti, it just seems to go and grab the latest stuff as usual... why? [00:43] jdaic, 99% of the problem is between the keyboard and the desk chair :) [00:43] ron459: a cable doesnt have a signal [00:43] szx0, making sure your repos are straight [00:43] quick question about the VNC server in Ubuntu, I have a spanish keyboard and when I connect through VNC my keyboard layout changes to the US, is there anyway I can change this ? [00:43] ron459: you have a wired connection between this box and the router/switch that serves up your internet ? [00:43] stu- i have it plugged into the same switch as my laptop and voip and it never gave a problem before, always been pnp [00:43] ish_nitti, alright... well yeah that seems fine [00:43] ron459: ok... do you have a link light where the cable plugs in ? [00:43] szx0, which package are you installing? [00:44] stu-link lights are both green on the switch [00:44] ron459: type sudo dhclient [00:44] ish_nitti, ZoneMinder === defs|Abd is now known as Abd67 [00:44] when mounting a device using fstab how do I make it read/write ? 0 0 ? [00:44] btw, is it possible to encrypt ubuntu after installation? (system encryption, not only folders) [00:44] Okay, a very technical question here.... I have a working gentoo install not doing much.. I'm trying to backup but unfortunately the net-connection isnt very fast at this moment.. is there anyway to resize my gentoo partition and install ubuntu and have another partition to gentoo's data? [00:45] stu-now what? [00:45] then resize them back to normal after i've moved the stuff [00:45] Hey guys, I am running java applications I have by doing 'java appname', but it doesn't open. On a windows box, the application works perfectly. [00:45] ron459: what was the result ? [00:45] szx0, do you have any 3rd party repos added? [00:45] is there some trick for getting wpa to work with ubuntu? === elkbuntu is now known as elky [00:45] the network manager doesn't seem to work [00:45] So I got quite a problem... I updated the system and it required a restart, and after starting again, I was in Low Graphics Mode (!!), I had to configure the xserver, and if I set it to use nvidia driver, it would go "Out of Range!" on my screen and then completely black, so I have to use vesa, or nv which I use currently. Problem is these dont bring me any Direct Rendering, and I'd like to use the nvidia drivers... I've tried uninstalling in [00:45] stalling them, and reinstalling, and complete removal + install as well. I've also tried nvidia-xconfig, but that doesn't solve anything. If I do sudo nvidia-xconfig it sets it to use nvidia, but next time I start I will have to go in Recovery Kernel and fix the xserver from there, since otherwise it'll be completely black... Any ideas and help on this is appreciated :)' [00:45] jerrcs: Sure, assuming you've got the space to duplicate your data (while copying over), or at least like 60% overhead [00:45] rufl [00:45] rumbleca, not really :) [00:45] ish_nitti, nah.... ZoneMinder is part of the defaults [00:46] Flannel: i've got a ~200gb hdd and using about 90gb of it [00:46] stu- no dhcpoffers received - no working leased in persistent database - sleeping [00:46] ish_nitti: I'm getting a realy weird ip back, any idea what that's about? [00:46] szx0, im aware of this but im starting to think a 3rd party repo may be giving you the bad path [00:46] encrypt ubuntu after installation - possible? [00:46] rumbleca, are you connected to the correct wifi router? [00:46] i [00:46] jerrcs: Ah, no problem then. Yeah, just shrink the Gentoo one, install Ubuntu, then copy stuff over and remove the gentoo one. Its as easy as it sounds [00:46] hi all. For some days now, the update manager is giving a msg saying " A problem occourred when cheking for updates" What can I do to correct this? [00:46] blumm, via truecrypt? [00:46] is ubuntu better than debian [00:46] ron459: have you tried configuring it from the network manager? [00:46] hi. I'm trying to install the DOM inspector for Firefox 3.0b5. It shows up as installed in Synaptic, but I don't see it in any menu in Firefox, nor is it listed as installed in the Add-Ins window. I tried to install it via the Add-Ins window, but I got an error saying that it was incompatible. I found nothing about this error using Google. Please help! :( [00:46] somedude, ubuntu IS debain [00:46] ish_nitti yes [00:47] somedude, just a flavor of it :) [00:47] somedude: as a desktop yes... as a server who knows [00:47] ish_nitti, hmm.. well I didn't add anything so can't be that [00:47] Flannel: do I have to get my ISP to do all of this on a livecd? or can i do some of it while in the OS(gen)? [00:47] ish-nitti, truecrypt can do it? [00:47] stu - tried every avail option in network manager [00:47] szx0, which package is it failing on? seems to be installing for me so far [00:47] anyone? [00:47] ron459: is the interface set to roaming mode ? [00:47] rumbleca, does the ip start with 169? === elky is now known as elkbuntu [00:47] jerrcs: Your ISP? [00:47] ish_nitti: yes [00:47] stu - that was the default setting on first install - didnt work [00:47] 169.254 [00:48] Flannel: sorry, my ISP being the people who host my server :) [00:48] blumm, i use truecrypt for my encryption, but i dont encrypt ALL of ubuntu, just a folder of private stuff [00:48] why is firefox so much slower on my ubuntu than on my xp, anybody know the reason for that or have had the same problem? [00:48] it's in cali, and i'm in maryland :P [00:48] blumm, not even sure if that can be done [00:48] ron459: set it back to roaming mode, unplug the cable.... wait a bit, plug it back in and try dhclient again [00:48] stu - k [00:48] could this because of broken down update? [00:48] ish_nitti: how did you know? what does that mean :) [00:48] alado2 my firefox is slow too heh dunno why [00:48] Hi, can someone help me with a sound problem? There is no audio on my laptop and if I hit "test" under sound preferences I get "audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat: Failed to connect stream: Invalid argument". How do I fix this? [00:48] rumbleca, that means DHCP failed to give you an IP [00:48] lots of apps are slower heh [00:49] hexoroid: yes very strange [00:49] ish_nitti, i wonder if its possible to encrypt the system partition (just like in windows) with truecrypt [00:49] rumbleca, by defualt it will give you a 169.*.*.* ip address. that way when DHCP server crashes, all clients on the network can still communicate [00:49] ish_nitti, Starting ZoneMinder: DBI connect('database=zm;host=localhost','zmuser',...) failed: Unknown database 'zm' at /usr/share/perl5/ZoneMinder/Config.pm line 89 [00:49] ah, I see [00:49] rumbleca, check your DHCP settings on you wireless router, or assign a static ip by editing /etc/network/interfaces [00:49] jerrcs: oh. I see. Well, you have to have the partition unmounted to resize it. But, in theory, most could probably be done remotely. I'll give you a link (well, ubottu will), with a bunch of ways to install, some of them through a network connection, and some of them with an existing install, etc (installing Ubuntu through gentoo, etc). You might be able to gleam some stuff off of it. [00:49] !install | jerrcs [00:49] jerrcs: Ubuntu can be installed in a lot of ways.

[00:50] as a server [00:50] szx0, lol you said you were getting an error from sudo apt-get install, not from running the app itself [00:50] szx0, thats a whole diff story then [00:50] ish_nitti: i know, but i want to encrypt my ubuntu without having to reinstall it... [00:50] ish_nitti: ah ok, well thanks. I'm not sure why that would be [00:50] blumm, i have no idea, ask around or google it [00:50] bt thanks [00:50] stu - nothing working [00:50] rumbleca, np [00:50] yep [00:51] stu - i dont get it [00:51] ron459: dhclient still tells you no dhcp offers ? [00:51] how well does ubuntu work with dual core processors? [00:51] navk2005, very well. run it @ work :) [00:51] navk2005, pretty good [00:51] maybe ron459 and I have the same problem [00:51] navk2005, my pc is dual core :) [00:52] szx0, give me a sec [00:52] rumble, whats ur prob? [00:52] Flannel: ty so much.. this sounds fun :P [00:52] hi all. For some days now, the update manager is giving a msg saying " A problem occourred when cheking for updates". Can't run the update manager. Only from console. Can this because of a broken down update [00:52] szx0, ok did you sudo apt-get install it or did you compile it from source? [00:52] is core management very good? my dual core laptop shipped and i think ubuntu is the most stable operating system on the planet. [00:52] szx0, when i apt-get it, it installs mysql for me [00:52] ron459: trying to use the network assistant to connect to my wireless network [00:52] stu-no offers recieved [00:53] rumble-i am trying a wired connection [00:53] oh === Thirsteh` is now known as Thirsteh [00:53] Would be nice if ubuntu could differentiate between IA64 and AMD64 [00:54] How do i make a user list for my FTP? is there a GUI FTP server? [00:54] OS Architecture keeps reporting AMD64, even though my processor is IA65 [00:54] *64 [00:54] stu - if this doesnt work it means i need to spend $$$ on an OS, I dont want to do that :-( [00:54] jerrcs: If you're planning on playing more, what I'd do is get them to install a tiny tiny OS that consists more or less only of a partitioner (and a way to boot to it, and ssh, obviously) and then you can use that to do your shrinking/expanding/etc in the future. [00:54] peternix maybe in next version [00:54] Cool [00:54] Flannel: well, is there anyway to resize my stuff within gentoo? [00:54] peternix: you have ia64? I don't think so [00:54] peternix: You have an Itanium? [00:54] ron459: reboot ? [00:55] how do i uninstall a splash screen? [00:55] stu-5 times [00:55] peternix: Intel x86_64 chipsets are the same as amd64 ia64 is ithanium and that's really pure 64bit [00:55] On Hardy heron, using vsftpd how do i make a user / password list? [00:55] ron459: sudo vim /etc/network/interfaces [00:55] Monica_2, you could remove the splash option from the boot options, though then the end startup lines have an extra space in them. [00:55] jerrcs: I don't believe you can resize a mounted partition, but there may be some really odd esoteric method. [00:56] ron459: is there anythign in there about eth0 ? [00:56] Flannel: I was hoping I could all of this without bugging the server provider :P [00:56] if not, I can bug em, but it would be fun to try [00:56] ashfire, i just need it gone [00:56] j/ #linuxac [00:56] Nitricacid: there is many howtos on how to make virtual users and passwords for that actually [00:56] Hey guys, I am running java applications I have by doing 'java appname', but it doesn't open.

[00:57] according to the website [00:57] kitche: theres no like sudo vsftpd make user command? the ubuntu help page is entirely unhelpful [00:57] kitche: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/ftp-server.html [00:57] any one use compiz fusion?

Doing either of these will uninstall the meta package ubuntu-desktop though (That doesn't effect anything really though, to my knoledge.)

[02:21] Vedalken: you could use ssh, although it's command-line oriented [02:21] but I'd rather have it automatically through the gui [02:21] Vedalken: sure, use ssh for example [02:21] Vedalken, VNC is standard is ubuntu, but you allready knew that i think [02:21] !ask | d34Th1 [02:21] d34Th1: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [02:21] thanks chapai [02:21] How do I refresh the .bashrc thingy in a terminal? [02:21] let me reboot and give it a try [02:22] eboyjr: source ~/.bashrc [02:22] Ward1983: so essentially VNC is built-in to Ubuntu? [02:22] thanks [02:22] Umm... I Cant Install The Server [02:22] Vedalken, yes if you enable remore desktop you enable a vnc server [02:22] d34Th1: you need to provide more details so the channel can help you [02:22] Ward1983: but what about for the client? would i have to install another program? [02:23] It Says It Cannot read The Files From The Cd-rom You Know After The Keyboard check [02:23] Vedalken, system -> preferences -> remore desktop [02:23] I have a wired connection and it is not working how do I troubleshoot it? [02:23] Vedalken, i think you would need to apt-get vncviewer for thqt im not sure [02:23] d34Th1: possibly a bad cd-rom? [02:23] ehternet connection [02:23] i can't open a bunch of programs like the terminal, firefox, gedit....but i can open xchat, skype [02:23] any ideas? [02:23] I'm currently on hardy and up to date. My usb devices (like PSP and mp4 player) do not automatically mount anymore. I didn't change anything except update the box regularly thru apt-get. The PSP and mp4 player are detected (when I run dmesg or lsusb), but I have to run mount in the terminal to use them. Any ideas? [02:23] Ward1983: vinagre is installed by default on hardy [02:23] d34Th1: did you check that the burn was ok by running the "verify the integrity of the cd" (or something similar) option when you boot from the cd? [02:23] checked its good it meets the md5 [02:24] and verified [02:24] Ward1983: Applications -> Internet -> Remote Desktop Viewer [02:24] Vedalken, maybe theres one standard in ubuntu but im not sure, anyway, installing one is as simple as typing "sudo apt-get install vncviewer" in a terminal [02:24] its all good just cant readi t [02:24] the alias for my usb card changes almost everytime i connect from wlan1 and wlan0 i have to keep changing the interface in scripts, can i force it to remain [02:24] Vedalken, read what tritium said, there is one standard in hardy :) [02:25] thanx tritium [02:25] Ward1983: no problem [02:25] d34Th1: what linux OS are you using? [02:26] Tritium: thanks! [02:26] the system im installing it on has no os [02:26] to talk to you im currently using windows vista [02:26] Vedalken, by the way sohuld you ever want to connect from a windows system (lets say at a friend or at work / school) you can also use a simple exe from less then a megabyte, i believe ts called vncviewer, its easy to find trough gogle, i used it a few times [02:26] I am using compiz and I need to know how to get different wallpapers on different desktops [02:27] Hey.. uhm, I just installed Hardy, and, at first I had Hardware Drivers thingie, which found my nvidia drivers, but I decided to run the system update first, and so I did ... then it required a reboot, so I rebooted, and now I'm back in again, but now the Hardware Driver / RDM finds nothing, and I dont have the nvidia drivers, what should I do to get the nvidia drivers and start using them? [02:27] d34Th1: I'll try to think of a solution...hang on [02:27] thanks [02:27] cognatus: did it work? [02:27] zafo: Wallpaper plugin, but you need t oinstall from git I believe, try going to #ubuntu-effects [02:27] is there an app that can say the time just like the map app [02:27] ok [02:27] anonymous__, IT's ALIVE!! well, not really. absolutely no effect. [02:28] i do have the error messages now however [02:28] can anyone offer a little advice on install a .bin file, i did chmod +x file, then ./file.bin, now its asking for the instalation prefix (/usr/local) [02:28] can i just hit enter there and it will be ok? [02:28] cognatus: sorry [02:28] or do i need to still name the correct path? [02:28] nflava: native ubuntu packages are better, if they're available. Which software? [02:28] chapia:thank you very much [02:28] i wish it was avaiable but its secureftp [02:28] i looked for a ubuntu package but didnt see one [02:29] no problem illa [02:29] anyone have a package reccomndation to make ubuntu look sexxy? [02:29] well sexxier [02:29] nflava: ssh provides sftp [02:29] please, anyone? :) [02:29] with gui ftp? [02:29] d34Th1: check this site, person had same problem [02:29] illa: emerald theme manager and go find some nice thmes (beryl) at gnome-look.org [02:29] nflava: no, not with gui. gftp does, I believe. [02:30] d34Th1: http://www.aspdeveloper.net/Virtual_Server_2005/rn-738-17968_Ubuntu_Gutsy_cannot_read_CDROM_during_install_crazy.aspx [02:30] i couldnt get what I needed with gftp [02:30] have you tried screenlets illa [02:30] havent tried anything [02:30] cognatus: what are the error messages? [02:30] yeah, and screenlets although the're a bit broken still... [02:30] so one for emeral and one for screenlets [02:30] nflava: nautilus can too. Make sure you were using the right options with gftp. [02:30] i need auth tls [02:31] Im pretty sure i could not get that with gftp [02:31] Hello, I have a question regarding Wubi Installer running on Microsoft Windows XP 2002 home in Toshiba Satellite M55-S135. I understand that I can uninstall Ubuntu by just going to add-remove panel in Windows if I need to uninstall Ubuntu. My question is what happens to the space allocated to Ubuntu if I decide to uninstall Ubuntu? Wubi is recommending me to give 15 GB of space for Ubuntu. What happens to the space if I remo [02:31] ve Ubuntu from Windows Add/remove software? Will it merge back to my C: (which is the only one on that computer) or will it go to become an unformatted drive? Thank you. [02:31] what is the correct syntax to add another java selection on the alternatives? update-alternatives --install ? [02:31] anonymous__, http://paste.ubuntu.com/14423/ [02:31] kushal_12_27_200: it goes back to freespace on your windows partition [02:31] This Isnt On A Virtual Box Its On A Physical [02:32] kushal:Im guessing you wuld need to make a new partition, if you want the space in an existing partition you will prolly need an app [02:32] kushal_12_27_200: The Ubuntu stuff lives inside of windows, its basically one big file. [02:32] oh really [02:32] wow [02:32] kushal_12_27_200: that space is just a big file under windows.. when you remove ubuntu you remove the big file too.. [02:32] Also: After updating Hardy, it no longer detects any sound card [02:32] nflava: gftp _does_ support sftp [02:32] awesome! [02:32] thanks guys [02:33] !nfo update-alternatives [02:33] amenado: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [02:33] !nfo alternatives [02:33] amenado: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [02:33] !info [02:33] Factoid info not found [02:33] do I need an addon for gftp to do ssl ? [02:33] Starnestommy, sudo rmmod vboxdrv did not fix it [02:33] ?? !nfo? -- !info ? [02:33] nflava: as I said, no [02:33] !info update-alternatives [02:33] Package update-alternatives does not exist in hardy [02:34] Starnestommy, i still have this annoying br0 interface [02:34] well im looking in there now [02:34] How can I fullscreen a dosbox window? [02:34] Starnestommy, (br0 shares its ip zith eth1 in my case) [02:34] i still cant connect to my ftp through gftp :9 [02:34] kushal_12_27_200: update-alternatives is a command, not a package [02:34] auth-ssl [02:34] Starnestommy, any more suggestions? [02:34] btw why do I have a wlan0 and a 'wmaster0' which appears to be the same interface but doesn't do anything? [02:35] anon that helps none atall [02:35] because [02:35] This Isnt On A Virtual Box Its On A Physical [02:35] cognatus: it probably has something to do with either X or your graphic card [02:35] thanks, tritium. ubottu tried to say the same thing but it is clearer when you said it [02:35] d34Th1: I'm sorry that I can't find a fix [02:36] kushal_12_27_200: no problem. Note that !info is only for package information. [02:36] the problem is i dont think the system is i386 its x86 or w/e [02:36] damn, can anyone else help me with my annoying networking situation? [02:36] anonymous__, it all happened after i installed "StartUp-Manager" [02:37] If anyone here uses or has used a Toshiba Satellite M55-S135, could they tell me how 8.04 works with it? [02:37] cognatus: try resetting xserver to its original default settings by hitting ctrl-alt-backspace [02:38] while in windoze you can't go full screen, reboot hit f8 and go to a command prompt...best thing I could think of. [02:38] for dos that is [02:39] I'm getting an error when using apt-get to install anything. http://pastebin.com/m1d882e01 it looks to be related to "libjline-java" [02:39] how can i fix the 'host down' error message while trying to connect to bluetooth device? [02:41] Wubi is now downloading the installation files. Please forgive my ignorance but I have another question. If I allocate 15 GB for Ubuntu under Windows, and if it is all one big file, how will Windows users with FAT32 use Wubi? (just curious, the toshiba satellite in question has ntfs) [02:41] kushal_12_27_200: they dont. It has to be NTFS [02:41] its hard to believe that theres nobody here with enough networkingknowledge to help me out, i REQLLY need my pC [02:42] thanks for the answer, flannel [02:42] its so frustrating since i allways try to help others, and when i really need it, nobody helps me [02:42] I want to install hardy from a usb thumb drive. I've downloaded the iso. My thought was that I'd expand the iso to the thumb drive and then boot from the thumb drive. Can I do that and is it as simple as expanding the ISO to the thumb drive and booting from the thumb drive? [02:42] Ward1983: what is your question? [02:42] jon__: nope.. quite a lot harder [02:43] Could someone help me? I've run into a strange problem with Movie Player not playing audio less than 1 second when it's ogg vorbis. Anyone have any tips? I transcoded some MP3s to ogg; that's where the problem occurs. [02:43] jon__: there's an iso-to-usb script around somewhere that does the hard work for you though.. might need to google for it [02:44] I don't mean to be picky, and please don't take it personally Ireclan, but transcoding from one lossy format to another is often not a very good idea. [02:44] adam7, i followed page 75 of the virtualbox manual and now i cant acess the internet anymore, it seems i cant get passed my router [02:44] Ward1983: Where is this Virtual Box manual? [02:45] zcat[1]: thanks, I'm checking for it now. [02:45] can anybody help with bluetooth manager? [02:46] adam7, http://www.virtualbox.org/download/1.6.0/UserManual.pdf [02:46] Hey guys I just installed ubuntu and it completely ignores the monitors on my docking station? [02:46] jon__: http://jak-linux.org/tmp/iso2usb.sh [02:46] adam7, after that someone here told me to try sudo rmmod vboxdrv, so i did that too [02:46] and then i restarted networking [02:46] didnt help [02:47] kushal_12_27_200: And yet I do it, because I am not picky about the quality loss. AAnd I want as much of my media as possible FOSS (and thus available as soon as possible on Ubuntu). But surely my problem has nothing to do with lossy transcoding? Audacity seems to play the audio just fine... [02:47] *And [02:48] ireclan, could it be a bug in Movie Player? [02:50] yep so, how does one disable this auto accenting (pressing ' or " accenting the next character if possible) thing? it´s..¨annoying¨ [02:50] anyone run a custom kernel??? is it hard to do? [02:50] kushal_12_27_200: That's what I'm thinking...But I don't report bugs. I don't feel like tracking them upstream. [02:50] or sorry I lied, it does that with any given character that could be applied as an accent :D [02:51] I have installed gentoo several times successfully, so I have messed with kernels before, just don't know the ubuntu way of kernel building [02:51] adam7, any ideas? [02:51] Ward1983: page 73, you say? [02:52] Plenty in the forums on kernel building for ubuntu [02:52] shane2peru: I do, but I just get kernel.org kernels and compile them. [02:52] how can i downgrade the kernel to the previous version? [02:52] adam7, page 75 [02:52] Ward1983: sorry :) [02:52] akk, just found some doc's and was looking over them, I'm not sure about the compiling and using part. :) [02:53] adam7, lol no problem [02:53] shane2peru: There are lots of tutorials around on compiling standard kernels, and a few (sometimes they skip steps) on compiling debian/ubuntu kernel packages. [02:53] Ward1983: do you need bridged networking? I never had to do anything like that when I setup VirtualBox [02:53] shane2peru: I find it easier to do them the kernel.org way. [02:53] akk, do you notice a diff with the custom kernel? [02:54] akk, I'm checking this out: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile I like Ubu-specific instructions. :) [02:54] shane2peru: Well, in my case the difference on one machine is whether I can boot at all; on the other machine, no difference except that the custom kernel lets me sync my Treo. [02:54] adam7, well i would like it, i just want my virtual machine to get an ip of my router, just like the real machines in this huse [02:54] Ireclan, You mentioned audacity plays the OGG vorbis files under one second in length. Does Movie player play OGG vorbis files over one second? [02:54] any way [02:54] Ward1983: ok, that's fine, it's just a little trickier :P [02:54] !virtualbox | Ward1983 [02:54] akk, I'm running a 64bit, and have heard it improves boot time, and running, cuts some bulk out. [02:54] Ward1983: virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available in !Gutsy as 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [02:55] adam7, page 75 is for ubuntu and debian in specific [02:55] shane2peru: I played briefly with 64 but didn't see much difference ... but that was several releases back. [02:55] I have become a member at the ubuntu forums, why can't I create a thread in the hardware & Laptops section ? [02:55] !free [02:55] Hi, the volume multimedia keys stopped working to change the master volume, and in fact when I press the multimedia keys it shows a full meter, but the master level can be something different. Pretty sure I broke a setting somewhere. This is on Hardy. [02:55] freedom is important. Ubuntu is as free as we can make it, which means mostly free software. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/licensing [02:55] adam7, i just would like to get my networking back i dont even want to use virtualbox anymore [02:55] akk, I like the 64bit now, gutsy was my first try with it, seems to run nice. [02:56] kushal_12_27_200: Oh yeah. Just fine. Actually, I'm wondering if it isn't that Audacity appears to use OSS, while Movie Player uses ALSA. [02:56] Ward1983: haha ok [02:56] Ward1983: is this on a laptop or desktop? [02:56] akk, I'm more interested in compiling the kernel, 1. for knowledge 2. just to trim down and run a little quicker. [02:57] I'm trying to view http://db.gamefaqs.com/console/psx/file/super_robot_wars_alpha.txt, specifically the japanese text. [02:57] But no matter what I do, what program I open it in, the text always comes out wrong. [02:57] adam7, a desktop, im typing from my laptop atm, but the desktop is right next to it [02:57] so i can type on it [02:57] Ward1983: ok -- does your network use dhcp then I take it? [02:57] adam7, correct [02:57] Ward1983: open a terminal on the desktop and type sudo dhclient [02:57] shane2peru: Yeah, I like building kernels anyway just so I have the source handy and know how to do it [02:57] adam7, allready tried it has an ip [02:58] I think it's in shift-JIS, but changing encoding to that doesn't help in firefox [02:58] adam7, i still have this annoying br0 interface maybe thats the problem [02:58] Ward1983: ok, run sudo route and !pastebin the output [02:58] akk, that is me, that is why I installed gentoo and slackware, just the upkeep was too much work for me. lol [02:58] adam7, pastebin zithout internet access? [02:58] shane2peru: though for a few years I went back to using ubuntu kernels 'cause they had some really good acpi patches (but now they have other things broken) [02:58] lol [02:58] Ward1983: oops, sorry :D [02:58] adam7, lol no problem [02:58] anyone get an Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG working in hardy? [02:58] lets say im installing a package and its downloading... i want to run a command without opening a new terminal or tab... is that possible? [02:58] adam7, ill see if i can spot unusual stuff there [02:59] akk, are there some good instructions on kernel.org? I'm looking over the page now. [02:59] Cual es el canal ubuntu español? [02:59] Ward1983: there should be a couple of lines --- in the column that says gateway, what ips are there? [02:59] eboyjr: you can Ctrl-Z it [02:59] TiTy: #ubuntu-es === mojo is now known as mojo|away [02:59] thx [02:59] de nada [02:59] de nada [02:59] :D [02:59] Hi all :) [02:59] !hi [02:59] Hi!

[03:00] I plugged in my extrenal monitor.. [03:00] and it showed up right away [03:00] D3RGPS31: it uses the same drivers? [03:00] got a question about editing a server list file for xchat in andlinux, 1. how would I change directories and 2. what would I use to edit it 3. or can I locate /usr/bin/xhcat in windows? [03:00] su doesn't seem to be working in the console. It still requires me to use sudo to gain root access [03:00] adam7, it looks normal but it has both entries twice, one extra "copy" for br0 [03:00] tell: they're the most compatible, so i guess [03:00] poseidon: the root account is disabled by default [03:00] hello, i got a problem. i deleted something out of my upper panel, so i cannot see the compiz tray anymore. can anyone help me to recover it please??? [03:01] Ward1983: there should be a line that says default (probably at the bottom) -- what is in the gateway column for that line? [03:01] How do I search through available packages in a commandline? I want to find a package (for instance, the Avant Window Manager package) with like partial-text searches [03:01] hey people... i downloaded the live cd for fuin just to try it out...

[03:02] adam7, the gateway there is correct 192.168.2.1 [03:02] tritium, thanks [03:02] is there irc on ubuntu? [03:02] or do i have to download it seperatlery? [03:02] adam7, but the line is there twile, once for eth1 and once for br0 [03:02] Ward1983: ok -- what does ping 192.168.2.1 give you? [03:02] shazzam: yes, here [03:02] does it come with it? [03:02] shaazz if you mean an irc client? [03:02] yup [03:02] zcat[1]: thanks for the link. I've created the usb drive and I'm going to see if it boots. Thanks again.

[03:02] tritium, how do I enable the root acount? [03:02] shazzam: I'm pretty sure xchat has been preloaded in most ubuntus I've installed [03:02] shazzam yeah I think you can tell it apt-get install xchat [03:02] adam7, was the first thing i tried [03:03] shazzam: pidgin, xchat,.... [03:03] poseidon: we don't recommend it, of course [03:03] D3RGPS31: hm I'm not sure... could you try googling for the Wacom instructions (easy, except for the Bamboo Fun line) but I don't know if they really can run off the same drivers [03:03] i got a problem. i deleted something out of my upper panel, so i cannot see the compiz tray anymore. can anyone help me to recover it please???

[03:03] tell: wacom would have drivers for linux?! [03:04] shazzam: pidgin is the one client that is installed by default, although I would not recommend it for IRC [03:04] !apt-get [03:04] APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE) [03:04] I have a program that everytime I close it it generates a crash report, although I can't find the report. The program seems to end just fine, how can I exclude it from reporting a crash? [03:04] shazzam, maybe the ability of installing anything you like from synaptic :p [03:04] xchat gnome used to be on the base install.. while not the best IRC client, its better than pidgin [03:04] D3RGPS31: yes Wacom works very well [03:04] wats that beryl thingy? is it on it preloaded?

[03:06] I know I'm going to get flamed for this, but here goes: I've got my desktop running gentoo (gcc-4.2.3, i686-linux-gnu), and my server running ubuntu (gcc-4.2.3, i486-linux-gnu). How can I change the gcc target to compile for i686 processors (my desktop proc)? [03:07] thanks anyway. [03:07] shazzam: what graphics device do you have? [03:07] shazzam: what video card do you have? [03:07] adam7, so ping 192.168.2.1 works but i cant get passed it, i cant surf or ping google [03:07] nvidias work really well, others ymmv.. [03:07] ward1983: i'm abit lost, i don't know which wacom drivers where installed [03:07] Ward1983: ok, so the problem isn't there... probably the gateway is the issue [03:07] yeah, ymmv..lol, you'll get about as far as Rosie O Donnell gets on a treadmill [03:08] well im just testing it for now.. ill prob use the live cd on my vista (im on an xp now...) [03:08] how do i get GNOME-DO to search files in my attached usb drive? [03:08] Ward1983: actually, try this: ping 208.67.220.220 [03:08] im not sure wat the vista has [03:08] apparently the recent intel cards are pretty good, and open source drivers too :) [03:08] adam7, this laptop uses the same gateway, my router is setup fine [03:08] matthew_: it's just cross compiling, just make sure you have the proper binutils and then pass the --target=arch [03:08] adam7, no reply, its not a dns problem :( [03:09] ah, there we go [03:09] thank you, Flannel [03:09] Ward1983: ok, try this: sudo apt-get remove bridge-utils, and then reboot the desktop [03:09] anyone know good html programming sites?? [03:09] zcat[1]: yeah, they aren't to bad(i have an Intel Moble GM965/GL960 on my laptop, it runs compiz fine.. on Gutsy though, forget it.. couldn't even enable even the most basic desktop effects [03:09] ok. [03:09] loligaga_ w3c :) [03:09] i'mma brb [03:09] adam7, good idea [03:09] w3c? [03:09] so is compiz fusion one of the synotics?. [03:09] loligaga echo on w3c [03:09] * zcat[1] writes compliant html and css in nano :) [03:10] what? [03:10] I just added 2 more drives to my machine for data, how can I add them to read/write to them? Standard Fstab editing? [03:10] sry noob [03:10] shazzam: compiz-fusion is installed and running by default, with a limited set of eeffects enabled. [03:11] <[gquit]bombadil> if ubuntu doesnt give users write access to /usr/local/bin/ where should i put programs that aren't available via repos? [03:11] anyone know how to exclude a program from ubuntu's crash reporting system? [03:11] so how do i get more effects going so my friend will get interested and look at the friggin screen! [03:11] shazzam: wether it works or not, depends on your graphics device, again, what is your graphics device [03:11] Flannel, but how can I get gcc to aim at i686 instead of i486? [03:11] .. right from the CD.. if you have a recent intel card you will get all the 3d effects right away off the live cd [03:11] anyone have an Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG working in Hardy? [03:11] ubuntu likes to freeze up on me [03:11] matthew_: the --target option. But, I'm not really the best person to ask, you should try #gcc [03:11] Hey. [03:11] shazzam: System -> Preferences -> Appearance [03:12] tell: that should work pretty well... Intel has a pretty good reputation [03:12] Is there a terminal PDF viewer? [03:12] Flannel, I guess I'm not understanding...where do I apply the --target option? [03:12] Hi all, this could well be OT but no one else seems to want to answer, does anyone know how to get Evolution to request reciepts? [03:12] i got a problem. i deleted something out of my upper panel, so i cannot see the compiz tray anymore. can anyone help me to recover it please??? [03:12] and then after i recover from the freeze python is screwed up [03:12] IndyGunFreak: doesn't seem to, there is a problem with it in hardy [03:12] matthew_: when you call gcc, its an option for gcc [03:12] could anyone tell me how to create a app launcher to launch a command line and not close after it has ran [03:12] u know wat... ill just play around and see wat happens [03:12] for any other card, you might need to install the drivers (system > administration > hardware drivers and tick the box) [03:12] tell: hmm, didn't know that... i take it it worked fine in gutsy? [03:12] for now... [03:12] 6~Anyone? [03:12] Flannel, oh, ok, maybe alias it out? [03:12] I need one so I don't have to open the PDF all the time. [03:12] can anyone here help me with a problem in xubuntu as nobody in #xubuntu is there [03:12] <[gquit]bombadil> Cracker_Jax_: what are you trying to run? [03:12] IndyGunFreak: new laptop, not sure, but from google results it seems that it did [03:13] hmm [03:13] My router is giving me a blinking green light and I can not use the internet what is going on? [03:13] i have a few programs i need to run in the command line, i.e. nmap [03:13] adam7, working again now thanx :) [03:13] Ward1983: no problem :) [03:13] hey guys, i am trying to do a PXE install on a server next to me and it loads the initd.gz and such, but sits there on a blank screen with a blinking underscore... anyone know wtf is going on [03:14] DaveKong, restart your router [03:14] davekong: you appear to be on the internet at the moment... [03:14] How do I install a GTK theme that the System->preferences->appearence dialog won't recognize as a theme? [03:15] <[gquit]bombadil> if you tick the "run in a terminal" box it should keep the window open, or alternatively, you could open a terminal and run nmap [03:15] tell - I'm using intel 3945 and it works great [03:15] yeah but after i click it the terminal runs and closes [03:15] hey guys, i am trying to do a PXE install on a server next to me and it loads the initd.gz and such, but sits there on a blank screen with a blinking underscore... anyone know wtf is going on [03:15] bri-h: which driver? [03:16] I just leveled up. i fixed my sound problem [03:16] Seriously. [03:16] IndyGunFreak: Apparently ctrl alt backspace works just as good as rebooting. I'll take your advice ;) [03:16] Anyone know of a terminal-based PDF viewer? [03:16] CodemasterMM, is the link lights blinking on your network card? [03:16] <[gquit]bombadil> Cracker_Jax_: i'm going to try this out [03:16] DragonLotus: :), ok [03:16] after the last update i couldn't get any music files to work [03:16] CodemasterMM: apparently you got something wrong. not sure how many ppl here know PXE well though, so good luck getting an answer [03:16] tell - the default install worked - I had some trouble with the alpha and beta versions [03:16] osxdude: no [03:17] mechdave: yeah i have a TFTP server setup, so it transfers the files and all... [03:17] CodemasterMM: Are you doing this PXE install from Hardy? [03:17] yes [03:17] er [03:17] WinXP booting a Ubuntu net install [03:17] WinXP hosting a TFTP [03:17] CodemasterMM: Are you using xinetd or inetd-utils? [03:17] hi [03:17] dang it. [03:17] does anyone know if there are hardy packages for kde 4.1 beta 1? [03:17] Centaur5: so it's WinXP sending out Hardy, basically [03:17] thanks anyway, tritium [03:17] osxdude: perhaps fbi [03:17] * zcat[1] managed to get hardy installed PXE on a bunch of compaq blades here, but it was a total fluke.. no idea what I was doing really :) [03:17] <[gquit]bombadil> Cracker_Jax_: what command are you using? [03:17] oh, really? [03:18] lemme see. [03:18] CodemasterMM: Oh sorry, I've never done it that way. [03:18] should be similar, if not the same [03:18] Installing. [03:18] bri-h: can you tell me what 'version' it says in output of this? modinfo iwl3945 [03:18] seems like it might not be sending files over...... or something [03:18] sometimes Flash is just a grey box, and I have to close and restart Firefox to get the Flash to work [03:18] seems ubuntu forums doesn't have anything on this either [03:19] how do i see a list of groups a user is in? [03:19] CodemasterMM: Well I was just going to say it could be a new package that you need in Hardy vs. Feisty but that doesn't apply to you. [03:19] Cracker_Jax_: Try this: [03:19] gnome-terminal -e 'mycommand; read -n1' [03:19] ah [03:19] And replace mycommand with your command [03:19] Umm yeah, make sure tftpd can read all the files that it's going to try serving... check permissions and ownership [03:19] tell version is 1.2.0 [03:19] can apport be configured to ignore some programs? [03:20] and/or check the logs and see if the server is requesting something other than what/where you were expecting it to look for it [03:20] bri-h: hm ok thanks. I have 1.2.25. what kernel version are you running? ( uname -a ) [03:20] my lag is apperently "2.61" [03:20] tell 24-16 [03:20] CodemasterMM, why don't you just enable the net boot on your card in BIOS? [03:21] hello [03:21] mechdave: PXE is 'net boot' ?!! [03:21] tell 24-16 generic #1 smp [03:21] Yes, zcat[1] [03:21] bri-h: same here... hmm [03:21] zcat[1], I know, but CodemasterMM mentioned he was trying to do it through XP [03:21] tell: I just updated too [03:21] ahhh, ok. weird. [03:22] zcat[1] PXE is Pixy [03:22] tell: what's problem [03:22] not net boot [03:22] lol [03:22] bri-h: just never connects [03:22] CodemasterMM, You have a DHCP server set up along with the TFTP server? [03:22] what other kinds of network booting are there? PXE is basically it afaik [03:22] tell: what's ifconfig say? [03:23] I don't want gdm to show on start up. how do i cancel it? [03:23] owen1: What login thing would you want? [03:23] CodemasterMM, You have a DHCP server set up along with the TFTP server? [03:23] owen1: You want no GUI at all, or automatic login and no username/password ? [03:23] bri-h: in dmesg I get "privacy configuration mismatch and mixed-cell disabled - disassociate" [03:23] can someone tell me what some of the better media programs are available under Ubuntu? [03:23] trident523: zcat[1] maybe just command line login? [03:24] owen1: http://qref.sourceforge.net/Debian/reference/ch-tips.en.html#s-no-x-start [03:24] bri-h: wlan0 exists has some TX packets, but RX = 0 [03:24] owen1: sudo rm /etc/rc2.d/S20gdm [03:24] tell: did you google that error msg? [03:24] owen1: the first method is the debian/ubuntu way [03:25] james__: me likes VLC [03:25] zcat[1]: http://qref.sourceforge.net/Debian/reference/ch-tips.en.html#s-no-x-start (see the first method) [03:25] I think it's S20 .. S??gdm will get it [03:25] jlsolutions: what are some of the features that I might like? [03:25] tritium: does it mean no x? [03:25] FREEDOME [03:25] owen1: it means no graphical login [03:26] <|WorldWorld|> which is the best im [03:26] It's S30gdm [03:26] tritium: great! [03:26] james__:plays anything, has a plain/simple interface [03:26] owen1: Easiest answer: "sudo rm /etc/rc2.d/S???dm" [03:26] owen1: I'd advise against removing files [03:26] !bum | owen1 [03:26] owen1: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto [03:26] james__: also will install on horrid windows machines if you are forced to used one of those someday [03:26] tritium: they're not files, they're links [03:26] james__: I'll vote for vlc too [03:26] zcat[1]: tritium it's scary. what is this file? [03:26] bri-h: yeah [03:26] zcat[1]: links, then. Debian/Ubunty method is preferred [03:27] jlsolutions: does it work with .wma? [03:27] owen1: Or install bum and turn it off that way... [03:27] %echo "usr/local/bin" [03:27] james__:i believe it will if they are not DRM'ed [03:27] <|WorldWorld|> can any one tell me how to play movies in ubuntu 8 [03:27] jlsolutions: yuck [03:27] jlsolutions: I want a DRM stripper for the junk I've purchased [03:28] and there is no place like 127.0.0.1 [03:28] Hello everyone :) [03:28] tell: how about iwconfig essid youressid key yourkey [03:28] arthur37854: or ~ [03:28] arthur37854: that's old [03:28] james__: i'm thinking there is stuff to convert to .wav and then to .mp3 or something, not sure [03:28] tritium: and with commmand line login, how do i choose the DE/WM [03:28] <|WorldWorld|> can any one tell me how to play movies in ubuntu 8? [03:29] what about startx? [03:29] howdy. I've got a webcam here, a dynex. It doesn't match the list of microdia cams (at least, the list I saw). It works flawlessly in progs like Cheese, Skype, etc. But it fails every time in flash-based webcam environments (www.stickam.com, for example) [03:29] tell: sorry left out wlan0 after iwconfig [03:29] jlsolutions: any suggestions for mpeg2/3 codecs? [03:29] owen1: in your ~/.xsession (I never disable the DM) [03:29] james__ : have you heard of medibuntu.org? [03:29] jlsolutions: no, but i have now [03:29] !codecs | |WorldWorld| [03:29] |WorldWorld|: not to be annoying, but it's Ubuntu 8.04. It's actually the 7th official Ubuntu release :o and what kind of videos are you trying to play? [03:29] |WorldWorld|: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [03:29] Centaur5: well, if this helps, it seems to grab initd.gz and then it just sits there... with a blinking cursor, doing thing [03:30] tritium: what is a DM and why u never disable it? [03:30] sometimes Flash is just a grey box, and I have to close and restart Firefox to get the Flash to work [03:30] james__: what version of Ubuntu are you running? [03:30] hey does anyone know a program similar to funny voice for linux??? [03:30] jlsolutions, actually, I want to do my media stuff on PC linux, Geexbox, or Dreamlinux [03:30] owen1: display manager (such as gdm), which is what you're trying to disable. Why would I want to? [03:30] !medibuntu | |WorldWorld| [03:30] |WorldWorld|: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [03:30] jlsolutions Hardy [03:30] I've got a webcam here, a dynex. It doesn't match the list of microdia cams (at least, the list I saw). It works flawlessly in progs like Cheese, Skype, etc. But it fails every time in flash-based webcam environments (www.stickam.com, for example). Any ideas? [03:30] tritium: speed? [03:30] tell: this worked for me when I was having trouble - iwconfig wlan0 essid myessid key mykey [03:31] owen1: no, not an issue [03:31] <|WorldWorld|> Thanks Adams I want to play vcds and dvds and avi files etc [03:31] does any one know a program similar to funny voice for linux?? [03:31] |WorldWorld|: you want to look at that medibuntu link then [03:31] tritium: ok. so just leave it as it is? [03:31] I get /dev/dsp busy when trying to use VMWare, what do I need to do? I looked on the forums but it says something about esound but I'm under the impression that this is not correct [03:31] james__: ok, under hardy i issues with adding the medibuntu gpg key, but i got around it somehow [03:31] hmm [03:31] |WorldWOrld|: Totem is pretty user friendly and good for that. It will try to find codecs for files it can't play. If it can't find the codec, check medibuntu.org [03:31] james__: but check it out [03:31] i ran live cd on my visat which has core 2 dua and nvidia geforce 8400 and still no 3d effects of compiz [03:31] will do [03:32] owen1: that's up to you. You were asking about me. [03:32] tritium: what gdm do u use? [03:32] it said cool effects cudnt be applied to desktop [03:32] owen1: gdm [03:32] shazzam: do you know how to enable visual effects, and start compiz? [03:32] under synaptics it said compiz was already loaded [03:33] ok [03:33] shazzam: installed does not equal started [03:33] seems this is piece of junk PXE [03:33] shazzam: that doesn't mean it's running [03:33] i'll just have to wait for ubuntu CDs later on [03:33] oh? wat do i do [03:33] shazzam: as we told you it would be [03:33] shazzam: hold on [03:33] so how do i start it? [03:33] ok [03:33] hold on [03:33] I've got a webcam here, a dynex. It doesn't match the list of microdia cams (at least, the list I saw). It works flawlessly in progs like Cheese, Skype, etc. But it fails every time in flash-based webcam environments (www.stickam.com, for example). Any ideas? [03:34] shazzam: if it said it can't be started that's probably because you don't have 3d drivers enabled yet.. [03:34] bri-h: hm doing that alone didn't work (routes weren't set up?) but doing that while Network Manager was trying to connect did it! [03:34] zcat: good call [03:35] i went into appearances and selected special effects and it said it cudnt be applied [03:35] bri-h: so, thanks! [03:35] shazzam: what's the model of your computer? [03:35] and thats because his graphics drivers aren't set up [03:35] dell vostro [03:35] its a good laptop [03:35] runs fast [03:35] had nvidia geforce 8400 [03:35] had core 2 duo [03:35] shazzam: please, don't use the enter key for punctuation [03:36] go to restricted drivers manager (system > admin > hardware drivers) and see if there are any drivers you could install [03:36] what is the correct grub configuration for booting ubuntu? [03:36] tell: network manager seems buggy in hardy [03:36] tell: command line always seems to work [03:36] ok so i go to hardware drivers and install wat... [03:36] i installed mandriva nad its grub replaced ubuntu's and now it wont boot properly [03:36] shazzam: go to restricted drivers manager (system > admin > hardware drivers) and see if there are any drivers you could install but this probably won't work on a live CD boot, you need to do some kind of install, wubi perhaps) [03:36] shazzam: no, there is no package called "wat" [03:37] hehe [03:37] shazzam: do you know if you have an Intel graphics card, or what kind it is? [03:37] shazzam: Well, you have an nvidia card, hardware drivers should suggest installing the nvidia drivers. [03:37] Hmmm... [03:37] Tyrant91101: don't do that again [03:37] itsan nvidia? [03:37] ok ill go see... [03:38] Anyone know how to get to the 7.10 Screen Prefrences in 8.04? [03:38] no lie [03:38] be back in a litle [03:38] osxdude: that makes no sense [03:38] j1solutions: hmm? [03:38] So, I have a similar problem with shazzam, although my graphic card happens to be an ATi something, but it supports 3-D [03:38] !GRUB | Tyrant91101 [03:38] Tyrant91101: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [03:38] BUT since nvidia drivers will require a reboot, it won't work off the live CD.. [03:38] osxdude: did fbi work for you? [03:38] tritium: no. [03:39] osxdude: what happened? [03:39] Hi all, this could well be OT but no one else seems to want to answer, does anyone know how to get Evolution to request reciepts? [03:39] hmm [03:39] no response :( [03:39] mechdave: it's in the preferences [03:39] It just said that /dev/fb0 doesn't exist [03:39] osxdude: you have to use the framebuffer [03:40] tritium, I found send reciepts but not request reciepts [03:40] ah. [03:40] well, I need to run it without X. [03:40] at all. [03:40] meh. [03:40] osxdude: framebuffer is not X [03:41] oh [03:41] well... [03:41] !enter | osxdude [03:41] osxdude: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [03:41] see, I'm trying to get dual screens working, but apperently it isn't working right. [03:41] lemme check the xorg log [03:42] mechdave: Composer Preferences --> Always Request Read Receipt [03:42] *sigh* [03:42] tritium: lol ~_~ [03:42] Hello [03:42] rofl [03:43] I've got a webcam here, a dynex. It doesn't match the list of microdia cams (at least, the list I saw). It works flawlessly in progs like Cheese, Skype, etc. But it fails every time in flash-based webcam environments (www.stickam.com, for example). Any ideas? [03:43] I am looking for someone to point me in the right direction to solve a couple of Ubuntu issues. The first one is: Video in Terminals 1 - 6 corrupt [03:43] arm-c: define corrupt [03:43] do webcams even work in flash yet? I never thought to try it [03:44] zcat[1]: yes. my logitech works just fine [03:44] damn it. [03:44] The text is unreadable AND large in the other terminals besides 1 and the GUI [03:44] Heya...I just upgraded to Hardy, and I'm on a Dell M1530...my touchpad mouse isn't working, and I've tried appending "i8042.nomux=1" to my kernel boot line, like the bug report says to. [03:44] arm-c: widescreen monitor, using DVI or a laptop? [03:44] Ok. I need help getting to the Screens and Graphics prefrences from 7.10 in 8.04 [03:44] Terminal 1 is still LARGE and doesn't all fit on the window. [03:44] Laptop... [03:45] arm-c: widescreen? [03:45] 1024x768 [03:45] Never had problem before [03:45] osxdude: again, that makes no sense. [03:45] RAdams, not there [03:45] arm-c: hmmm... that's odd... >.< [03:45] Have been a user since about a year ago. [03:45] Question regarding ATi graphic cards. So, I installed the driver for ATi using the hardware driver, restarted and all. But, whenever I try selecting a theme in emerald and running emerald --replace, the screen turns all white. [03:45] mechdave: definitely there, because I'm lookign at it. Version of evolution? [03:45] ugh. [03:46] well, in System > Prefrences > Administratoin in 7.10 there was a "Screens and Graphics" prefrences. I want to access it. [03:46] osxdude: System -> Preferences -> Screen Resolution [03:46] ... [03:47] I know. [03:47] I'm looking for the exact same precfence panel, but from 8.04 [03:47] !enter | osxdude (again) [03:47] osxdude (again): Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [03:48] neener [03:48] Oh. [03:48] osxdude: I'm in 8.04. It's System --> Preferences --> Screen Resolution. If you don't see it, edit your menu and make sure it's checked [03:48] hello all [03:48] why there is no 'skype' package on the apt-get ? [03:49] where is my documents in windows 2k ?? [03:49] deuryte: wrong channel [03:49] Well....what I mean I want the prefrence panel that shows up when X fails to show up. That's what I want. [03:49] he he he [03:49] Elad-3: 'cos skype is non-free [03:49] is there a way to get 'wget -i' to download like 3 files at a time? [03:49] RAdams, 2.12.1 [03:49] binarymutant: use 3 terminal windows :) [03:49] Elad-3: I think it's in medibuntu or perhaps cafuego [03:49] osxdude: any other way I can do it in the same process? [03:49] zcat[1], so I'll need to configure it ? [03:50] huh? [03:50] tritium: which is better open office in ubuntu or kopffice ?? [03:50] Serv identify [03:50] koffice [03:50] Elad-3: yeah [03:50] deuryte: that's personal preference [03:50] I don't believe so, binarymutant [03:50] !info skype [03:50] Package skype does not exist in hardy [03:50] :( ty [03:50] !skype [03:50] To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto [03:50] binarymutant: append & [03:50] tritium: im a newbee, can you help me with posix explanation ?? [03:50] zcat[1], ohh I fount a .deb package on they site (for ubuntu) [03:51] someone speek french [03:51] lab34: no, this is an English channel [03:51] osxdude: That option window has been moved to other under the gnome menu. It is usally hidden, so edit menus and make the "other" menu visible. Also may have to turn on in the "other menu." [03:51] deuryte: what is your question? [03:51] slowlearner: whats that? [03:51] tritium: what exactly is posix for ?? [03:51] koffice 2.0 (qt4) looks like it has promise, but let's face it, in an MSOffice-dominated world, OpenOffice.org is much more comprehensive and seems to handle word documents better [03:51] !fr | lab34 [03:51] lab34: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement.

[03:55] like debian - debian stable, unstable-sid [03:55] Elad-3: no, ubuntu isn't organized like debian [03:55] just giving you more info, probably overkilled your help tritium but figured i could give a little more info. [03:55] tritium, ohh I see.. [03:55] alan_m: :) [03:55] tritium, thanks ;) [03:55] Ok, anyone open for help? [03:55] osxdude, we all are I think. [03:55] Elad-3: new one every 6 months. [03:56] ok. [03:56] !ask | osxdude [03:56] osxdude: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [03:56] P.S. Next time, dont ask if were open for help, just state your question... [03:56] neil_d, ohh.. and when the new will release ? [03:56] Elad-3: every 6 months, so in October [03:57] tritium, and ubuntu will support 8.04 for how long? [03:57] Anyone able to give provide me assistance for why my terminals 1-6 are corrupt -- large text and unreadable. [03:57] at least 18 months Elad-3 [03:57] !lts | Elad-3 [03:57] Elad-3: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. [03:57] Elad-3: 8.04 means it was release in the 4th month of 08. [03:57] ohh I see... [03:58] Elad-3: 18 months on normal releases, 3 years on LTS releases (which hardy is) [03:58] and when they will release a new version, I'll be able to upgrade, and then get more support right? [03:58] Yes, Elad-3. [03:58] oh cool [03:58] yeah, what tritium said...hence my "at least" portion. :) === _tom is now known as tom [03:58] thanks guys :) [03:58] Welcome buddy!

[03:59] but it says failed to start X server during installation [03:59] what do I do?? [03:59] whoa. ubuntu exploded. === zhanxuw is now known as not [04:00] "exploded" osxdude ? [04:00] Hi all! I am trying write an init.d script in Hardy that mounts CIFS shares on startup (runlevel 2345) and unmount them on shutdown (runlevel 016). I have the startup sequence set to 99 and shutdown sequence to 1 (trying to mount last on startup and unmount first on shutdown) -- but it never mounts because networking doesn't seem to be up until AFTER the script runs and so it errors out. Anybody suggest anything? [04:00] meh, I had it set to output to the external monitor, then I went to tty1. [04:00] when I went back to the tty:X, it was all messed up [04:01] exit [04:01] arm-c, your trying to exit out of your IRC client? nevermind :) [04:01] can anyone help me? [04:01] kramer3d: You could try to reconfigure X with "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" from a terminal [04:01] hi - i've got no internet in the terminal - here's a summary http://pastebin.com/d21539723 [04:01] someone can help me with change key lang, it change the lang, but the scroll led is off.. why is that?

[04:02] oh wait [04:02] nevermind kramer :) [04:02] !antivirus [04:02] antivirus is something you don't really need on Linux, unless you serve windows clients. ClamAV and aegis are decent linux virusscanners. Also see !linuxvirus [04:02] I see :) [04:02] compiz is dead. How do I uninstall compiz?

[04:02] <|WorldWorld|> hi, can anyone suggest a list of best programmes for ubuntu 8.04 [04:02] lol [04:02] IndyGunFreak: thats not that point [04:03] kramer3d: i didn't ask you what the point was, it was a question [04:03] alan_m: neil_d it says no screens found [04:03] thanks [04:03] hrrrmmm... [04:03] I had this problem before, i have an integrated graphics card and an nvidia card but the integrated card has not been disabled in the bios [04:04] i tried to disable it before but it just doesnt work for some reason [04:04] anyone? (the scroll led didnt work when I switch lang) [04:04] anywho neil_d how do i get to the terminal? [04:05] and another question please, some one are using icq-sim for icq client? [04:05] ok. [04:05] kramer3d: will do [04:05] i'm back, apperently. [04:05] ok thanks [04:05] wait...

[04:07] <|WorldWorld|> any links for best ubuntu 8.04 software to install please? [04:07] www.ubuntu.com ? [04:07] |WorldWorld|: http://www.howtoforge.com/the-perfect-desktop-ubuntu-8.04-lts-hardy-heron [04:08] |WorldWorld|: it depends on what type of software you need, of course. [04:08] jordan, thats the main ubuntu website, yeah :) [04:08] |WorldWorld|: well what do you want to do? [04:08] that article has some good sugestions of stuff you might like [04:08] someone can recommend me a nice icq client? [04:09] <|WorldWorld|> thanks zcat [04:09] Elad-3: pidgin isn't too bad === roxandSLEEP is now known as roxahris [04:09] <|WorldWorld|> Indy have just installed on a new system, wanna some idea [04:09] Elad-3: I like xchat [04:09] zcat[1], only using it for msn, for icq it's not very cool [04:09] xchat does ICQ ? [04:09] neil_d, me too, but my friend didnt.. :( [04:10] i seem to have an uncanny abilty to find every possible rock and hard place to end up with.... [04:10] :( [04:10] |WorldWorld|: well what do you n eed to do.. i can tell you all sorts of crap to install, but if you have no use for the,m whats the point. [04:10] is it really this complicated to get dual screen linux and non laggy synergy? lol [04:10] In Hardy, is it possible to switch PulseAudio with ESD? [04:11] ok so aparently u cant use the 3d effects if u run it off live cd... because the graphics require a restart and that just defeats the whole thing [04:11] bobsomebody: whats your graphics device?... dual screens works fine for me. [04:11] so... wat shud i do? [04:11] shazzam: I think I mentioned that almost an hour ago? [04:11] im afraid to install ubuntu and lose windows cuz wat if i dot like it? [04:11] yeah i was busy [04:11] IndyGunFreak, I used an ATI Radeon HD 2400 Pro [04:12] bobsomebody: thats the problem.. [04:12] and XFX GeForce 8400 GS [04:12] shazzam, Run the LiveCD, it will give you a full ubuntu desktop without modifying yoursystem at all [04:12] one at a time [04:12] does anyone know how to find out how my hardware is being recognized by ubuntu? [04:12] nvidia, dual screens is gravy [04:12] hey somebody help me to run a cpp program in ubuntu 8.04. i tried with gcc but following error is displayed....."gcc: error trying to exec 'cc1plus': execvp: No such file or directory" [04:12] nvidia fails to install properly [04:12] shazzam: put the disk in in Windows and do a wubi install.. turn off any AV software first tho 'cos it reads the CD into an ISO image and trying to scan a 700M file seems to bother most AV software [04:12] how so? [04:12] it crashes 1/2 wy through [04:12] my ati isn't installing all that great. [04:12] shazzam, or, if you want to get even more into it, you could resize your partition and put windows and ubuntu and dualboot [04:12] right after i set the screen settings *im resorting to alt install right now [04:13] i have the nvidia in [04:13] bobsomebody: have you tried EnvyNG? [04:13] shazzam, or what zcat[1] said, but I haven't had anything but problems with wubi [04:13] then again I could just unlucky [04:13] xodiak, eh? [04:13] bobsomebody: is the nvidia card a dualhead card?.. [04:13] nvidia dual head card [04:13] xodiak: envyng isn't necessary for what he wants to do. [04:13] shazzam: I did a dual boot and it was pretty easy and worked pretty good. [04:13] installing it on windows... it doesnt need to partition? [04:13] does any one know some software that can change voice like funny voice? [04:13] wubi is pretty broken still, I think.. I got it working first time but I've heard plenty of ppl complaining about it [04:14] shazzam, no, it just sort of dual boots using windows own boot manager [04:14] Gotcha. I'm too new to recommend anything anyway. :) [04:14] lnar, audacity [04:14] how much room does dual boot take? [04:14] shazzam, i advise against it, it's not difficult just to partition. if you don't like it, delete the partition and add the space back to your windows partition [04:14] the best result i had so far was the ATI card with 8.04, but synergy bugs out and would require a complete rebuild with a modified source [04:14] which is WAY beyond me lol [04:14] shazzam, however much room you want. I made it 20GB for ubuntu, 4GB for swap, but that's well beyond what's needed [04:14] how do i gain root access in terminal? [04:15] (talking about the os) [04:15] kramer3d: sudo [04:15] kk [04:15] see i never partitioned so i dont know about these things... [04:15] kramer3d: sudo -i will give you the equivalent [04:15] kramer3d, sudo su [04:15] wats the swap? [04:15] shazzam: wubi makes a big file in windows with all the stuff ubuntu needs to boot, then launches the kernel from windows boot manager.. you can completely remove it again if you don't like it. [04:15] kramer3d, bobsomebody: sudo su is not recommended [04:15] kramer3d, use "sudo" or to have root prompt use "sudo -s" [04:15] shazzam: I set up a 16 GB ubuntu and 4GB for swap. [04:15] oh [04:15] shazzam, swap is just virtual memory area, basically overflow for when your memory runs out [04:15] hey somebody help me to run a cpp program in ubuntu 8.04. i tried with gcc but following error is displayed....."gcc: error trying to exec 'cc1plus': execvp: No such file or directory" [04:16] i see... right now my windows doesnt even have that.. [04:16] shazzam, it's very easy to do, and there's not much risk of losing data in any case [04:16] so it uses hard drive memory as ram? [04:16] haris2: you need to install build-essential first [04:16] shazzam: yes [04:16] shazzam, it's a linux thing. in windows it's called "virtual memory" or a "pagefile" [04:16] IndyGunFreak, im @ the x server video modes in alt install setting it to 1280x1024, lets hope it works this time [04:16] shazzam, i'm sure you have it enabled [04:16] shazzam: swap is also used if you hibernate, such as with a laptop [04:16] it looks like its getting the right data from the card with the res's available [04:16] I wound't bother with more than 20G for a wubi install.. if you end up doing anything more than just seeing what ubuntu is like, you really need to do a proper install.. [04:16] tritium:how do i do it.....? [04:16] bobsomebody: server video modes? [04:16] haris2: sudo apt-get install build-essential [04:16] ok and am i ablet o access files on my drive from ubuntu? or only files put in in ubuntu? [04:16] Hi guys. Having a problem wit hibernating.. hibernate, and uswsusp(s2disk) both result in funky menus. Can anyone check out http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5036080#post5036080 if you get a second? I provided a screenshot.. thanks! [04:17] Any ATI video experts around tonight? [04:17] IndyGunFreak, X server [04:17] ie screen res [04:17] shazzam, and it's even better than windows. Windows will use your hard drive as ram, regardless of if it needs to or not. linux swap only uses it when it must (which is good for hard drive life) [04:17] shazzam, you can see all files [04:17] this is where it boned out on me last time [04:17] bobsomebody: oh, did you reconfigure x? [04:17] no [04:17] this is just a reinstall [04:17] i had both screens plugged in last time [04:17] shazzam, you may have to change 1 line in a single text file to be able to modify files from windows, but that's easy [04:17] !enter | bobsomebody [04:17] bobsomebody: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [04:17] hmm, doesn't make much sense.. i've never done that. [04:17] i vaugly remember 8.04 throwing a fit about it [04:17] iso wat is partitioning for? is it like formating only a part of the drive for ubuntu? [04:18] shazzam, basically, you'll edit /etc/fstab and replace "ntfs" with "ntfs-3g" then run a command to remount, then you can modify [04:18] shazzam: the word is "what", not "wat" [04:18] tritium, sorry [04:18] shazzam, partitioning is dividing a drive [04:18] is there apt-get flash player for linux ? trying to play youtubes. [04:18] hexoroid: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [04:18] y must i divide it? y cant they share the stuff? [04:18] shazzam, your drive right now probably has a single partition. think of a drive as a drawer, and a partition as a folder. right now, you have 1 folder that fills the whole drawer [04:18] im just trying to leanr... [04:18] shazzam, windows sits in that folder [04:18] hexoroid, sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [04:18] learn.. [04:18] shazzam: it's because windows and linux work very differently [04:18] whats a non-free for ? [04:19] shazzam, to install ubuntu, without modifying windows or anything else, you take some room away from that folder and make another folder for ubuntu [04:19] hexoroid: it's free as in price, but it's proprietary [04:19] but they both can acces the ame files... like .avi or .whatever.. [04:19] hexoroid: it downloads a binary-only file (no free source) from adobe [04:19] oh ok [04:19] thanks [04:19] same... my keys are having issues typing the letters! [04:20] does any one know some software that can change voice like funny voice? AUDACITY NEEDS TO RECORD THE VOICE FIRST... I NEED SOMETHING LIKE FUNNY VOICE [04:20] shazzam, correct. as I said above, it may take a quick edit to a single file to be able to, but once you do it works flawlessly [04:20] but they both can acces the same files... like .avi or .whatever.. [04:20] shazzam, correct. I have windows and ubuntu on my machine. My MP3s can be read in both operating systems the exact same [04:20] shazzam, there's no worries about that [04:20] lnar: let me know when you find it... I've been looking and never found anything like that [04:20] shazzam: that's because of applications made to access those files. Windows itself doesn't know how to read those files and neitherdoes Linux [04:20] *neither does [04:21] zcat, they can always make it but thats way off topic lol [04:21] dmsuperman: so you're saying I can (or should be able to) read my xp harddrive when I'm in Ubuntu? [04:21] xodiak, absolutely [04:21] hi all, does anyone know what to edit in /boot to sort out my grub problems? [04:21] yeah it looks like this thing has completely locked up on Select and install software right @ 6%.... [04:21] i c...somewhat... [04:21] xodiak, are you not able to? [04:21] J-a-K-e: /boot/grub/menu.lst [04:21] dmsuperman: Is there an easy way to set this up? [04:21] so how much shoud i partition for now? [04:21] shazzam, really the best way to learn about it is to just install ubuntu and play with it [04:21] cna i always change the amount? [04:21] perhaps freqtweak ? [04:21] my comp sucks its an old box hardly plays videos sort of laggs lol [04:22] I just didn't know it was possible. (I'm only two weeks new) [04:22] i dont find any program like funny voice!! [04:22] shazzam, depends. how much free space does your hard drive have? [04:22] shazzam, and yes [04:22] tritium: ok thanks...........:) [04:22] hexoroid, have you tried xubuntu on it? [04:22] lnar: because afaik there is none. [04:22] dmsuperman: I didn't even know it was possible. [04:22] xodiak, it's cool. if you give me about 3 minutes i can probably walk you through it (i'm fairly new to the whole thing as well, using linux for like 2 months now, so if it gets complicated i may require assitance from somebody else) [04:22] im gonna put it on the xp with ATI graphics first because the vista belongs to my family and i dont need them yelling at me if i break it [04:22] hi - i've got no internet in the terminal - here's a summary http://pastebin.com/d21539723 [04:23] dmsuperman: I would appreciate it. [04:23] my xp has 30 GB free [04:23] shazzam, alright. My suggestion is to resize your xp, and make it 20GB smaller [04:23] i have a 500GB hard drive though... [04:23] external [04:23] shazzam, and then put ubuntu in there. 16GB for ubuntu itself, and then like 4GB for thw swap [04:23] shazzam, you could really be fine with like 2GB of swap, sometimes even less, but it never hurts to have extra [04:23] dmsuperman: anything above 2GB for swap is waste [04:23] shoud i put ubuntu on my external... [04:23] alan_m whats xubuntu ? [04:24] xodiak, what filesystem is your windows using, FAT32 or NTFS? [04:24] hi - i'm stuck in the terminal after upgrading to Gutsy with NO INTERNET - here's a summary http://pastebin.com/d21539723 [04:24] thats what i wanted to do originally [04:24] Can I bring up a ppp connection in a (text-mode) installer environment?

Since I've already installed grub several times I was told the error is in /boot [04:26] tritium, I've never used any of my swap at all, but I've got so much hard drive space that I could probably just lose 100GB and be fine, so having plenty of extra for everything is fine for me [04:26] flash__, use "sudo lshw" [04:26] hexoroid, not if you install it through synaptic [04:26] hi - i'm stuck in the terminal after upgrading to Gutsy with NO INTERNET - here's a summary http://pastebin.com/d21539723 [04:26] synaptic ?

[04:28] dmsuperman: actually looks like it might be NTFS http://pastebin.com/m62bcda4b [04:28] J-a-K-e: the error 17 is from either setting the wrong partition or setting the right partition, but with that one being corrupt [04:28] hexoroid, great :) [04:28] hmm it says it can not find that package [04:28] xodiak, I'm assuming that 600GB partition is your windows? [04:28] !patience [04:28] The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [04:28] hexoroid, remember to put sudo in front of this though [04:28] xodiak, sorry, 60GB :P [04:28] i cant see accents with firefox any ideas? [04:28] J-a-K-e: error 13 comes from selecting the wrong file as the kernel [04:28] hexoroid sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [04:28] AaronH, thanks! [04:29] np, flash__ [04:29] hi - i'm stuck in the terminal after upgrading to Gutsy with NO INTERNET - here's a summary http://pastebin.com/d21539723 [04:29] Beatbreaker: you've been asked not to repeat === thebitguru is now known as aficionado [04:29] hexoroid, i dont know what to tell you, it should be in the repositories, do you have them all enabled? (even though I believe its in the main...) [04:29] How do I figure out what my raid device appears as in /dev/? [04:29] alan_m its installing it now.. thank you. if i have anymore questions how to start this up is it ok if i msg you ? [04:29] Beatbreaker: please pastebin /etc/network/interfaces from that computer [04:29] tritium - i have no idea if anyone has even looked at my paste bin at all [04:30] hexoroid, its ok if you message me in this room, dont go private message, i like helping multiple people at once :) [04:30] Beatbreaker: patience [04:30] i actually have windows cp on this comp and it goes friggin slow and i have too much stuff on here and im thinking of just getting rid of the whole thing... but then im afraid im mite want it back and i dont have the xp cd's... [04:30] Hi, I just finished setting up dual display, but I can't move a window from one monitor to the other. The two desktops seem independent [04:30] Beatbreaker, is what you pasted exactly what you typed in? could you please paste your /etc/network/interfaces file? [04:30] Starnestommy - thank you. how do i do that from the terminal? [04:30] why i cant play flash movies on firefox whenever amarok is playing? [04:30] AaronH, I can't seem to get my motherboard brand/model, any other suggestions? [04:30] dmsuperman: .... old PC. The main reason I put ubuntu on here. [04:30] SJr|Nbook, you can look in /etc/fstab [04:30] i having trouble playing amarok after i played something from youtube [04:30] will the live cd help me partition my drive? [04:30] xodiak, this should be easy. First, we want to test that you can actually mount it. in your terminal, type "sudo mkdir /media/Temp1" and then "sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/Temp1/" [04:31] dmsuperman: yes the 60GB is my windows. [04:31] AaronH I just installed it [04:31] SJr|Nbook, use "cat /etc/fstab" [04:31] yit4s, install libflashsupport [04:31] Beatbreaker: it looks like you have two lines starting with "iface eth0" or "auto eth0" in /etc/network/interfaces [04:31] AaronH it's not there [04:31] hi, [04:31] Starnestommy - so should i delete the extra ones? [04:32] chapai: what is it by the way? do i have to uninstall adobe flash? [04:32] AaronH, nvm, think I got it [04:32] Beatbreaker: delete them all except for the first one [04:32] you dont have to uninstall aything, [04:32] ok.. will do alan_m [04:33] Beatbreaker: and don't remove anything that refers to lo [04:33] chapai: ok thanks [04:33] flash__, that command should tell you your brand and model of mother board [04:33] dmsuperman: I think that I should have tried mounting /dev/sda2 instead. [04:33] hope it works yit4s [04:33] neil_d: how do i get out of terminal and resume with installation? [04:33] xodiak, sorry, yeah i accidently copied mine instead of yours :P [04:33] alan_m, it has installed right now how do i switch to it now ? [04:33] SJr|Nbook, have you looked at your "dmesg" [04:33] ? [04:33] Starnestommy: I meant to say I get error 13 when I try to boot windows error 17 what I get when I try to boot ubuntu; windows is on my 160GB ide and ubuntu on my 30GB ide [04:34] xodiak, then do "cd /media/Temp1" to move into our newly mounted filesystem, and "ls -al" to list all the files in it. if that looks like it's your windows partition then that's good news, we've got it mounted (temporarily) [04:34] Starnestommy - so I should delete all the doubles of "iface eth0" and "auto eth0" - but obviously keeping one of them each? (just for clarification) [04:34] kramer3d: [04:34] chapai: hope so. i uninstalled adobe flash and tried other stuff but it doest suit. now i have to wait some time install back adobe flash [04:34] Beatbreaker: delete all of them except the first auto eth0 and the first iface eth0 [04:35] I can get things working temporarily if i follow -> to reinstall grub http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351 [04:35] you can switch to it by logging out of your current session, clicking the button that says "sessions" i believe it says..and choosing Xubuntu...correct any of this if its wrong guys. [04:35] dmsuperman: I get an error telling me mount is denied. http://pastebin.com/m1fe0fbb1 [04:35] J-a-K-e: it looks like you have the wrong root setting for ubuntu. For windows, you might need to chainload it [04:35] you asked and i said you dont have to uninstall anything [04:35] alan_m: click "XFCE" i believe [04:35] Starnestommy - got ya, ok i'll give it a go and i'll be back with the results. Thankyou! [04:35] That above message was for HeXoroid, sorry for not saying [04:35] you asked and i said you dont have to uninstall anything yit4s [04:35] hello everyone [04:35] neil_d: crap it says x server is now disabled , restard GDM when it is configured correctly [04:36] maco, thanks for assisting me [04:36] Beatbreaker: make sure that the first iface eth0 says "iface eth0 inet dhcp" [04:36] chapai: i did before i asked the question :p [04:36] okay dumb question.. how do i know if im using gnome or kde? [04:36] xodiak, alright, that happens sometimes. windows says that it's still using the drive, even though you're obviously not. "sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda2 /media/Temp1 -o force" [04:36] kramer3d: you can restart gdm with from the terminal with "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart" [04:36] illa: do you have two panels? [04:36] kk [04:36] yup [04:36] xodiak, that should force-mount it. then "cd /media/Temp1" and "ls -al" to make sure that's it [04:36] illa: gnome [04:37] The ssh vulnerability is just that someone could read the packets? [04:37] thats what i thought(im using the default i guess) [04:37] Starnestommy: well thing is windows works fine if i boot grub off my 30gig I have grub installed on my 160, 30, and a 320 sata (which wont load the grub menu at all) [04:37] any info on obtaining proxies? [04:37] just wondering why my DNS keeps changing after 30-60 minutes connected to internet? not to mention everytime i turn on my comp [04:37] I have a computer on which I run rtorrent (self compiled), I'm having troubles with it. I ssh into it and administer that way. Often it will crash, leaving just my ssh shell open and with only "cd" available as a command.. other times I have no commands and must manually restart it [04:38] How do I disable auto mounting drives to the desktop at startup? [04:38] madman91: perhais it would have been easier to just install the rtorrent package [04:38] alan_m do i select xfce session ? [04:38] why does my synaptic downloads at a super slow speed compared to my firefox? [04:38] dmsuperman: Holy #$@! [04:38] AaronH I did look at it suggests that the drive is sdb but cfdisk says there is no disk there [04:38] clearzen: you can edit the /etc/fstab and put in the option noauto [04:38] zcat[1]: I don't see how that would solve anything (and rtorrent deb is horribly outdated) [04:38] clearzen press the power button on your tower right now and hold it for 5seconds [04:38] clearzen, open terminal, type gconf-editor [04:38] yit4s: it's because of dhclient automatically setting DNS servers. To fix that, change the prepend domain-name-servers setting in /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf [04:38] Lokii-: shut the fuck up [04:39] !language > clearzen [04:39] <[GUN]Wires> eek [04:39] dmsuperman. that's pretty cool. Thank you! Will this stay or will I have to do all that everytime I boot into ubuntu? [04:39] madman91: hmm, ok. [04:39] !language [04:39] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [04:39] LoL [04:39] app/nautilus/preferences and untick automount [04:39] BRazil? [04:39] Starnestommy: grub has been an issue ever since i've installed 8.04 which i've tried reinstalling several times now without fixing the problem. Never has an irrue with 710 [04:39] xodiak, that was a 1 time thing. to make it automatically mount it, we're going to edit /etc/fstab. "sudo gedit /etc/fstab" [04:39] *issue [04:39] I'm a moron, damn ubuntu not having root :P [04:40] <[GUN]Wires> I've got a problem: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2780 when I get to tep #5 it says not found on all but one module even though im looking at them right now [04:40] J-a-K-e: that's part of the reason why I stuck with 7.10 [04:40] SJr|Nbook: it does, it's just disabled for security purposes. Use sudo instead. [04:40] dmsuperman: okay, it's open [04:40] xodiak, then add these lines to the file: # /dev/sda2 - Windows [04:40] /dev/sda2 /media/Windows ntfs-3g defaults 0 0 [04:40] SJr|Nbook: you can enable it by doing "sudo su" then "passwd" and setting a password [04:40] yeah I know [04:40] !noroot [04:40] I agree with it, but I forgot about it [04:40] We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-) [04:41] SJr|Nbook: what's the problem? [04:41] SJr|Nbook: alright, just making sure [04:41] SJr|Nbook, if you want a root prompt do "sudo -s" [04:41] Yeah I know all that [04:41] AaronH: sudo -i [04:41] mad_max02: better to use "sudo su -" for a root login [04:41] tritium, try sudo -s [04:41] neil_d: I think sudo -i is recommended [04:41] xodiak, then a few things to wrap up, "sudo umount /media/Temp1" "sudo rmdir /media/Temp1" "sudo mkdir /media/Windows" and lastly "sudo mount /media/Windows" and all should be well [04:41] AaronH: no, sudo -i is recommended [04:41] Starnestommy: ok, i'm on gediting the dhclient and found the prepend line. what am i editing to make my DNS permanent? [04:41] Starnestommy: well for me it's either 8.04 or windows xp being something of an audiophile alsa sound drivers just don't cut it pulseaudio sound heaps better [04:42] alan_m i pressed logout then i went to options "selected" xfce session and saved it it still logs me in into gnome ? [04:42] xodiak, after that, and every time you reboot, you should now have your windows partition mounted to "/media/Windows" [04:42] dmsuperman: the last things you said in the terminal window? [04:42] dmsuperman... actually the next to last thing you said [04:42] yit4s: add this to the bottom: prepend domain-name-servers ,; [04:43] xodiak, yes [04:43] zcat[1]: didn't know about that one. [04:43] xodiak, those are just unmounting your windows partition, deleting the Temp1 folder, creating a folder called Windows, and finally remounting it to the place that it will be residing from then on out [04:43] yit4s: if the first ip were 192.168.1.1 and the second were 10.0.0.1, add "prepend domain-name-servers 192.168.1.1,10.0.0.1;" [04:43] http://www.dvs01.net/pics/unity.png <--- <3 vmware [04:44] Starnestommy-> do you know if other information like configuration settings other than ip, name server, gateways can be passed to the client? [04:44] dmsuperman: I'm trying to catch up. Would you mind checking out the fstab file to make sure I typed what you told me correctly? http://pastebin.com/m1a462cf1 [04:44] is it possible to make transparent metacity themes using compiz? [04:44] <[GUN]Wires> can anyone help me? [04:45] xodiak, perfect. save that, close it, and run those 4 commands and you should be good to go :D [04:45] neil_d: sorry to bother you again but it just doesnt seem to work, let me repeat my problem so you dont have to scroll up: i have an onboard graphics card and an nvidia card installed [04:45] Hi guys. Having a problem wit hibernating.. hibernate, and uswsusp(s2disk) both result in funky menus. Can anyone check out http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5036080#post5036080 if you get a second? I provided a screenshot.. thanks! [04:45] amenado: I think a few things can be transferred, but I don't know exactly what [04:45] How should I be able to record sound from my computer? [04:45] Starnestommy: put the IPs under the ? i see <#prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1> [04:45] lnar, there is a theme manager called Emerald that works with compiz fairly well imo [04:45] neil_d: how ever it does not recognize my nvidia card (or maybe it does i dk) [04:46] neil_d: so I would like to set the nvidia card as my default and get on with installation [04:46] Starnestommy-> oh okay..been looking around for explanation of such..(what maybe passed to clients) [04:46] Carbonflux i know about emerald, just want to make metacity transparent.... ANY IDEAS? [04:46] dmsuperman: Very cool Appreciate your help. [04:46] yit4s: just add the line that I told you to add at the end of the file [04:46] kramer3d: by get on with the installation, have you finished the basic install, and what to now add your own apps ? [04:46] xodiak, no problem =D [04:46] yit4s: it doesn't matter where it is, as long as it's on a separate line [04:47] depois de muito esforço [04:47] lnar, well, you can use the general settings in compiz to set the transparency of windows etc, but thats not want you want? [04:47] eu consegui ENFIAR ESSA POCARIA DE MEMÓRIA [04:47] neil_d: no i have not started install at all, i am stuck on the "Cannot load X server part" [04:47] xodiak, and in the future, if you want to mount an ntfs drive as read-only, you could replace "ntfs-3g" with just "ntfs" [04:47] quittt: English, please [04:47] If my RAID Card shows as /dev/sdc and /dev/sdb when it's mirrored does that mean linux is ignoring the raid settings [04:47] the actual problem is it doesnt recognize my monitor or something but i know that cant be the problem... it must be becaues it doenst recognize graphics card [04:48] Carbonflux u know what to type in to make metacity transparent and gnome panel? [04:48] "I want 'feature' but I don't want to use the software that actually has 'feature'" [04:48] tripps, sorry, I thought this was ubuntu-br =P [04:48] sigh... === T_cH is now known as cwe_gril [04:49] Starnestommy: Hi i'm back online in the terminal - i'm on IRSSI - thankyou [04:49] Does anybody know how can I mount an FTP folder to my local filesystem? I'd prefer a method that doesn't involve editing /etc/fstab, so I only have to mount it when I need it, but if that's the only way it's fine [04:49] kramer3d: it might be better to, do the install in vesa mode. then load the nvidia drivers after basic install. [04:49] Starnestommy: but when I do a "sudo apt-get update" i get a ton of "netowrk unresolved" stuff [04:50] lnar, what do you mean by metacity in this case? the panel can be made transparent by going into system->preferences->advanced desktop settings->general->opacity tab then create a entry for name=gnome-panel [04:50] Starnestommy: if i put the IPs, does that mean i cant no longer change my DNS in Network Settings? or it will set that as default and whenever i dont need a DNS, it will change to the default setting? [04:50] yit4s: you can still change the DNS settings [04:50] Starnestommy: sorry i'm Beatbreaker [04:50] neil_d: how do i install in vesa mode? is that the safe graphics mode?

To end them, type "sudo kill -HUP 6726" and then type that again, but replace the 6726 with 6739. That will get you back to synaptic not running.

[05:08] ain't it the sound preferences thing? [05:08] ok is there someone in here who can help me? i'm trying to configure my wpa_supplicant.conf file [05:09] maybe [05:09] Neuro2112: cool, nice killing trick! how do i view other jobs by the way?

[05:09] userzero, that chops off some info [05:09] Starnestommy: that one before said "unable to connect to http:" [05:09] Starnestommy: but there's a different type too hold on... [05:09] yit4s: If you just do the ps -A you get all the jobs, ps -ef shows you detailed information. [05:10] userzero, rather I can't view the first few entries [05:10] michael_: was it http:// or http:/? [05:10] james__: lspci -vv > lspci.txt [05:10] does anyone think they might be able to help me with getting nat/dns working? [05:10] thank you [05:10] yit4s: if you do the "ps -ef" you can see the owner too, this can help figure out if you need to "kill" with "sudo" or not [05:10] Starnestommy: it was http:/archive.... i double checked [05:10] michael_: that one url you had was giving me a 404 [05:10] userzero, can I accomplish the same with grep? [05:11] Starnestommy: great [05:11] or similar [05:11] james__: lspci -vv |grep anything [05:11] Starnestommy: i'm not in australia anymore anyway, i'm living in Japan, is there a way to get those updated [05:11] userzero, thanks, that's very helpful. make my life a bit easier [05:12] james__: anytime [05:12] michael_: I think so, but I'm not exactly sure how [05:12] looks like i'm gonna have to boot up windows, wine wont' even use the software on the dvd [05:12] Kohlrak: what app ya trying to run? [05:12] Kohlrak: what version of wine do you have? [05:12] james__: not an app, actually, a DVD [05:13] and the most recent version of wine [05:13] Kohlrak: Video DVD? [05:13] Starnestommy: another one is http://archive/ubuntu.com/ubuntu/distros/gutsy/release.gpg could not resolve "archive" [05:13] there is software on the dvd, so i'm assuming the app might provide some sort of decryptor [05:13] and yes, video dvd [05:13] michael_: change the archive/ubuntu.com to archive.ubuntu.com [05:14] Starnestommy: yeah i can see the problem [05:14] Kohlrak, what dvd exactly? [05:14] Starnestommy: but i don't know how to fix that - will it be in sources.list? [05:14] Kohlrak: is it embedded Video software or actual windows software? [05:14] michael_: probably [05:14] Xfiles - Season 4 [05:14] Hi, doing sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf returns an error " Couldn't Open Display" where could be the problem? I am installing new drivers for my ati video card [05:14] it's actual windows software [05:15] Kohlrak, i would guess its some 'extras' - not needed to play the disks. [05:15] Then what's totem's problem that it's chokin' on it? [05:15] Kohlrak: it might be that the software itself has runtime DRM attached [05:15] Starnestommy: haha, sorry, whats the location of sources.list again? i'm drawig a blank [05:15] the DRM is beyond annoying....................... [05:16] michael_: /etc/apt/sources.list [05:16] Starnestommy: cheers [05:16] does anyone think they might be able to help me with getting nat set up? [05:16] explore the disk. see what other files you see.. Ive used the various video players t play the data files directly [05:16] i'm trying that now [05:16] what happens when i execute mv (single filename) *.iso [05:16] vlc whatever.vob :) has worked for me in the past [05:16] danag1: depends on what *.iso matches [05:16] ton of vobs, sorting through them now [05:17] Neuro2112: another problem arise. since i killed synaptic, i have to run it again on terminal to finish it again. and the slow download still an unfinished task. how do i cancel the download? [05:17] hello [05:17] Kohlrak: I once had audio files from musicmatch that used runtime DRM to tell me I didn't have licenses that I've purchased, and other time it would tell me that I don't have the correct player. [05:17] Starnestommy: they're all fine there [05:17] Does anyone know how to get Ubuntu 7.10 Wifi working on a PS3? [05:17] jrib: oh shit, thank you [05:17] Kohlrak: it sucked [05:17] i'm sick of the DRM stuff. [05:17] i grabed the 2.6.23 kernel and it totally bricked my install after following the guides [05:17] evo extinct I can help [05:18] it's just more stuff to force us to microsoft, they're not really worried about us or the people who make the dvds [05:18] widowmaker aewsome can I PM you === widowmaker is now known as WidowMaker [05:18] sire [05:18] Microsoft is just using them to control us [05:18] sure [05:18] yit4s: use "sudo ps -A | grep apt" to see if any apt-get are running. If it already downloading then it may have hung there. Kill that process to if it exists. [05:18] Evolution: try upgrading to hardy, for me it fixed several wifi problems (although I have no idea about it on the ps3) [05:18] Starnestommy: where else could those mistakes be? I assumed they'd be in sources.list too, i've tried to fix it from there before [05:18] why does the updater tell me to quit my apps before the 2 hours of downloading, rather tahn after the 2 hours of downloading right before it actually starts installing? [05:18] Kohlrak: DRM, good Idea, poor implementation [05:18] yit4s: after you kill all that run "sudo apt-get clean" to remove any locks [05:19] michael_: messed up files on the server migth cause it, but that's unlikely [05:19] oh well, such is life [05:19] is there a way to make the installer i'm using ignore dependencies? (not synaptic/apt-get) [05:19] corevette: depends on the installer [05:19] CTho: some apps might become fubar if you use them while you upgrade. This way you expect it [05:19] jrib: thank you [05:19] jrib: but why do i have to keep everything quit for 2 hours while it's downloading and not actually changing anything? [05:19] what the hell? I tried to copy some files from the dvd now it's saying i don't have permission to do it [05:19] Starnestommy, ./installer.sh -commandgoeshere? [05:19] xvedejas is the 8.04? [05:19] to delete the files either [05:19] jrib: there's no risk until after the download finishes [05:20] of Ubuntu i don't go by the gimick names haha i just remember the version #'s [05:20] yes [05:20] 8.04, yes [05:20] admin nautilus time [05:20] corevette: I don't know about installer.sh [05:20] CTho: fair enough, I see your point. It's being overly cautious [05:20] Starnestommy: humm ok, well i guess this is kinda beside the point - id really jsut like to get into the GUI mainly. [05:20] xvedejas do they have a live cd yet for PS3 i couldnt' find one [05:20] what's a good program for creating password protected archives? [05:20] truecrypt [05:20] Hammer89: gpg [05:20] it's amazing [05:21] go with truecrypt [05:21] i was wrong!! xvedejas your right i swear it didn't come up [05:21] truecrypt ftw [05:21] lol [05:21] yes, here [05:21] http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/daily/current/ [05:21] Starnestommy: i'll be better at fixing it after that (i'll use forums since it'll be working anyway) [05:21] you can create secret secret files. That's double secret fyi [05:21] i need help setting up mplayer to playback my DVD's, as it is right now, it gives me this error "No Stream found to handle url dvd://1" , the no one in the #mplayer room is talking [05:21] xvedejas sorry haha my brains fried after this whole experience [05:21] xvedejas so did you have any problems at all? [05:21] I've used truecrypt before... gui didn't work last time I tried though [05:21] i have a newer 80GB version PS3 [05:21] has anyone else here used dreamlinux or pclinuxos? [05:21] !dvd > sjdurfey (read the private message from ubottu) [05:21] thats only like 4 months old [05:21] anybody seen any good movies recently? [05:21] is truecrypt in the hardy repos? [05:22] yeah [05:22] non-horror pls [05:22] !dvd [05:22] For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs [05:22] Starnestommy: sorry i didn't say, the main problem is with my xserver - the update from Fiesty to Gutsy broke my Nvidia driver and i haven't been able to get to the GUI since [05:22] hey...anybody know how to reset my mouse's keybindings to default, somehow it is keybound to where i need to hold shift, alt, or ctrl as well as left click to click on any thing [05:22] michael_: you could try telling xorg to use the vesa driver until you get the nvidia one working [05:22] thanks zcat.... [05:23] After Gutsy dist-upgrading to Hardy my Gnome programs are in English although '~$ locale' returns LANG=de_DE.UTF8. How can I change that? [05:23] Starnestommy: i think i've tried that - is that changing the driver from "nvidia" to "nv" ? [05:23] Like I said I never installed on a PS3 === adam_ is now known as Kirsch [05:23] But I've had no problems on a PC [05:23] evdev mouse support anyone know how? [05:23] ugh, legal reasons... They are out to get rid of us... [05:23] michael_: change it to "vesa" [05:23] ok hold on [05:23] xvedejas oh... see thats the thing [05:23] what kernel is outta the box? [05:23] WidowMaker: it's saying hidden volumes aren't supported on my platform... [05:24] "First thing we do, kill all the lawyers" [05:24] Qster: man evdev :) I can pastebin my setup if you want [05:24] hey guys, i have a script that i want to send an email, which script is easiest so i can use an smtp server?

[05:29] does anybody know how or if you can setup crontab to run a system wide task? [05:29] Can someone help me? I'm trying to convert an FLV to theora using ffmpeg2theora...

[05:30] thanks, zcat [05:30] Starnestommy: i'm sorry but i'm going to have to ask you for some instructions of how to reinstall the xserver, i don't know [05:30] I'm very confused, on the location map in the ubuntu install there is no location within 1000 miles of me... But I live in the US? [05:30] Gauss: how do i fix my mouse's left click? [05:31] Neuro2112: nahh, i just let it finish downloading. patient is never one of my virtues [05:31] michael_: sudo aptitude reinstall xserver-xorg [05:31] yit4s: sometimes that is all you can do. i build servers out all day - i am very patient with these things :-) [05:31] Has anayone been successfull on using recordmydesktop with pulseaudio? [05:31] Excuse me, I have just installed the Ubuntu 8.04, and when I try to log on, its starts to, then my monitor flashes, then it logs me off again.

[05:34] any one please? ;) [05:34] djnm: ati something.. could it be the vid card? [05:34] absnt: i am sure there would be a better way, but try doing a locate [05:34] absnt: do an updatedb& before that [05:34] wasssups: not as far as I know.. I forkbombed mine quite recently [05:34] hi! Good night, [05:34] Starnestommy: the error said "i wasn't able to locate file for the xserver-xorg package. This might mean you need to manually fix this package. Couldn't lock list directory, are you root?" [05:34] in-sane: whats the matter mate? [05:35] is there a way to rebind my mouse's left click button, i unbound it and now i can't figure out how to rebind [05:35] bijur: I have an issue with my ubuntu. after running firefox it stops working and I am not able to close, open or modify anything.. all i can do is press the power button and boot again, any suggestions please? [05:35] u mean ubuntu as such stopped working? [05:35] michael_: ubuntu upgrades are majorly broken imho.. best to backup /home and do a fresh install. [05:35] zcat[1]: Hi from Hamilton west? [05:35] jjoyner, i cant even think of WHERE you would unbind that at.. [05:35] bijur: yes, exactly [05:35] jjoyner: [05:35] compiz.... [05:35] michael_: that's definitely strange [05:35] joot: where joo? === U is now known as Gian2008 [05:35] michael_: i found the german packages really good [05:35] jrib, where do you get your values of "7 6" from? i know they are buttons but what does the "7 6" mean? [05:35] jjoyner: stand by, it is /usr/bin/click [05:36] Thats why I switched to OpenSolaris. [05:36] jjoyner, disable compiz perhaps? [05:36] nux565: most likely, search for your model on the forums. also see if you can log in to a failsafe shell session [05:36] bijur: it only get to that when i attempt to open Firefox. [05:36] What is the effect of a line "LANGUAGE="de_DE:de:en_GB:en" in /etc/environment and /etc/default/locale? [05:36] zcat[1]: it is jt from wlug [05:36] used to be atleast [05:36] ahh, kewl [05:36] i've got no idea what to do in this situation [05:36] tried, i uninstalled it even, but it is a no go [05:37] djnm: I can get into failsafe shell session.. But thats all. [05:37] Neuro2112: i'm going there now [05:37] Starnestommy: what's the diagnosis Doc? should i just kill my instillation and start a new? [05:37] In-Sane``: try booting up and debugging, it might be that ur X is the only one thats screwed. Try runnin firefox from shell with the command firefox and notice what are the errors and warnings thrown. Also look at the /var/log/xorg.log etc. [05:37] michael_: you might need to [05:37] Starnestommy: what is with that error!? [05:37] somebody here is using VMWare to use Ubuntu? [05:37] jjoyner: Stick With it and you will love the end result. [05:37] In-Sane``: also try to see if u can do ctrl+alt+1 and see if u get a shell [05:37] jjoyner: it seems to be missing. that used to be the config util for mououse [05:37] Starnestommy: ok, thanks for your help, no need to waste anymore time on that [05:38] how do I restart gnome/compiz? [05:38] michael_: it could be another package manager open, or the package info for xserver-xorg being missing [05:38] bijur: ok.. do you want me to paste the log file? [05:38] yea, so i'm gullible, but how do i fix? [05:38] bijur: ok.. lemme try :) [05:38] nux565: so it is probably your video card. search the model on the forums [05:38] Starnestommy: will it be as easy as downloading the ISO sticking it and [05:38] who here is using VMWARE? [05:38] just me? [05:38] oh my God@ [05:38] In-Sane``: i am new to irc, i dont think people would like to see a lot of log file content on here, do u have a wiki or something where u cud do that and send me the link? [05:38] ok, one more time, anybody seen any non-horror/thriller movies lately that didn't suck? [05:38] Starnestommy: there seem to be way too many problems here for me to handle at the moment [05:38] Gian2008: just ask the question that you needed to ask about vmware and ubuntu [05:38] slimjimflim_: #ubuntu-offtopic, not here please. [05:39] bijur: please use pastebin [05:39] slimjimlim_:lol [05:39] slimjimflim yeah indianajones [05:39] djnm: will do. Thanks. Though, I am a little curious.. Why would my video card f' it all up on normal login? [05:39] !pastebin | In-Sane`` [05:39] In-Sane``: 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) [05:39] !pastebin [05:39] bijur: nah, i will use the paste service from ubuntu.

[05:40] Brent^: ctrl-alt-backspace works if you're already in gnome [05:40] zcat[1] terminal I guess... doesnt really matter [05:40] thanks for trying tho [05:40] Brent^: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [05:40] michael_: upgrading ubuntu through the package manager or by any other method other than a clean reinstall can cause issues [05:40] bijur, install pastebinit first - of course. :P [05:40] nux565: i dont know why exactly. i just think your graphics card cant handle starting the main gnome X session [05:40] slimjimflim: try the original version of "Wickerman" it is way creepy in a weird 70's way [05:40] lol, sure , thanks [05:40] how do I view my xorg log file?

[05:42] anyone know of any awesome games for ubuntu? [05:42] michael_: is grub on a separaate /boot partition? [05:42] james__: quake? [05:42] In-Sane``: /var/log/Xorg.0.log [05:42] with or without windows, you still need some kind of bootloader.. grub or lilo, usually [05:42] jjoyner: Do you see any weird "option" values... check this http://linux.die.net/man/4/vmmouse for a reference on the mouse config opts [05:43] james__:nethack ;-) [05:43] Gian2008: What host os are you running vmware under?

That's to switch the side scroll buttons on my mouse because they are reversed by default [05:43] james__: Tremulous, frets on fire [05:43] Starnestommy: maybe, but i couldn't be sure [05:43] james__: openarena, urban terror, World of Padman, glest .. [05:43] bijur: yep.. i will give you the link, just a minute please [05:43] can i move my ubuntu to a real partition from wubi installation WITHOUT removing ubuntu, windows and start everything all over again?

[05:43] Starnestommy: how can i access my grub now so i can take down some notes on how it's working at the moment? [05:43] jjoyner: what type of mouse are you using? as long as it is rather generic, my config works across all 6 of my systems [05:43] IcemanV9: ok, thanks alot [05:43] logitech [05:43] yit4s: not really... [05:43] jjoyner: i have a fairly vanilla input device config [05:44] michael_: look at /boot/grub/menu.lst [05:44] jjoyner: two button with a wheel? [05:44] Neuro2112: yes [05:44] Neuro2112: sorry, 4 button with a wheel [05:44] Starnestommy: cheers, sorry i ask really obvious questions, i used to use ubuntu a lot but stopped so i forgot all of the locations of things. [05:44] jjoyner: try my pastebin then and see how that goes -- i have a four button here (old mac mouse) that works fine with that inputdevice [05:44] FYI the whell on most modern mice also counts as a thirdbutton [05:44] Neuro2112: kk [05:45] bijur: here is my xorg log file if you don't mind having a look: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14445/ [05:45] does anybody know how to setup tunneling with ssh? [05:45] yit4s: you possibly could but I think it'd be pretty tricky anyhow [05:45] checking [05:45] zcat[1]: i decided that ubuntu fits me well after 3 weeks via wubi. now i need it on a real partition so that i can get better performance ubuntu [05:45] Hi everyone [05:45] "~$ uname -r; 2.6.24-16-generic." Why does http://lxr.linux.no/linux not list 2.6.24-16-generic? [05:45] hi administrator [05:46] zcat[1]: i installed alot of stuff on ubuntu, fixed alot of things to get it running smoothly. you know how hard it is to make my wireless work and my webcam [05:46] good mornin every1 [05:46] how do you ssh to a computer inside a lan from the internet? [05:46] I was wndering if any of you know why is so damn hard to install the flash player [05:46] bullgard4: because the -generic kernel uses a set of patches made by either debian's or uubntu's developers [05:46] Don't use prerelease versions, IMHO your asking for trouble, [05:46] Travis: that depends.. [05:46] on? [05:46] psmiith: on jjoyner's config, it says she is using vmmouse as the driver - isn't that the old XFree mouse opt? [05:46] Travis: a lot? [05:46] everything else is working well for me [05:46] In-Sane``: this does seem like the current X log, as in, this is the not th elog of the session that crashed. Do uhave the log of that? maybe Xorg.0.log.old or something [05:46] u mean for opera [05:46] Travis: you never described your setup so far [05:47] thank you so much #ubuntu I have installed ubuntu using wubi. it was really easy. it detected my sound card and wireless cards too [05:47] installing the flashplayer for firefox is easy [05:47] yit4s: I haven't looked too closely, you might be able to tar it all up, create an ext3 partition and untar it back again, you'll need to fix up /etc/fstab though, and install GRUB by hand.. at the very least [05:47] Travis: That requires a bit of configuration on the host and router. [05:47] kushal05212008, you are in the minority then in that area. :) Lucky for you it all worked.. [05:47] Travis: we need to know what exactly you want to do and in which environment [05:48] kushal05212008: does your ubuntu boots slower than windows?? [05:48] bijur: hold on, lemme see if i can get to it.. [05:48] not really [05:48] how do I install grub????? [05:48] well, there is this additional time for waiting [05:48] does wubi really affects my ubuntu's boot time? [05:48] Neuro2112: that didn't work...same problem [05:48] hmmm [05:48] yit4s: wubi? [05:48] tenX: Thanks [05:48] !grub | administrator [05:48] administrator: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [05:49] Starnestommy: And for example the kernel 2.6.24.7 does not use any patches? [05:49] Neuro2112: i tried it both with changing vmmouse and without changing [05:49] i want to ssh to a workstation that's connected to the internet through a router. [05:49] I did not find it in my case [05:49] it's a basic setup [05:49] psmith: for what is that :) [05:49] modem -> router -> computer [05:49] bullgard4: it doesn't use any extra patches [05:49] Neuro2112: to left click for me i have to hold shift OR ctrl OR alt and then left click [05:49] bijur: maybe this one but am not sure :) : http://paste.ubuntu.com/14447/ [05:49] psmith: cant remember helping you out [05:49] It was much faster than when I used live CD [05:49] tenX: wubi is windows installer for ubuntu. it installs ubuntu as an application on windows [05:49] Neuro2112: otherwise, it just grabs the window and initiates move [05:49] Starnestommy: What is an "extra patch"? [05:49] tenX: forward port 22 on the router to that workstation [05:49] yit4s: that sounds scary. but i heart about that :) [05:49] bullgard4: a patch made by someone other than the kernel's developers [05:49] jjoyner: how did you initially change it? [05:50] Starnestommy: why would i wanna do that? [05:50] i need to connect to multiple computers using ssh on the lan [05:50] and I think it is actually faster than windows since windows comes with the heavy load of nagware and so on that toshiba installs [05:50] Starnestommy: Ah, ok. -- Thank you for explaining. [05:50] എദാ തെണ്ടികലെ [05:50] so forwarding port 22 to one terminal wouldn't work [05:50] Starnestommy: great thanks, i wrote it all down [05:50] hi everybody [05:50] er, whoops, wrong person tenX [05:50] tenX: not really. it only takes 15 minutes to install ubuntu and you can get everything work once it's done [05:50] ഹാ ഹാ [05:50] Neuro2112: in compiz, i keybound "Button1" to be something [05:50] thanks guys I appreciate the tips [05:51] Starnestommy: thanks for your help, i'm outta here. hopefully Hardy will be more sucessful with me [05:51] ragas: English, please [05:51] hi. I'm trying to install the DOM inspector for Firefox 3.0b5. It shows up as installed in Synaptic, but I don't see it in any menu in Firefox, nor is it listed as installed in the Add-Ins window. I tried to install it via the Add-Ins window, but I got an error saying that it was incompatible. I found nothing about this error using Google. Please help! :( [05:51] In-Sane``: i aint no expert, but i dont see any errors here in these two. [05:51] Travis: is that workstation running an ssh server? [05:51] എടാ കൊപ്പെന്മാരെ [05:51] Are u launching ff as root? [05:51] bijur: i think you [05:51] bijur, who, me? [05:51] ragas: funky [05:51] yit4s: well its a nice start for people being scared of banning their windows system but why not going the whole way? [05:51] redwyrm: no In sane [05:51] rag [05:51] one more question ....How about wireless???? [05:51] bijur, I don't understand you [05:51] redwyrm: i meant not u m but In-Sane`` [05:52] bijur: i think you're right, because i didn't get any errors with my xorg before [05:52] ragas: anata wa nihon jin desu ka? [05:52] Hi... I'm a newb and I have a possibly stupid question... how do I upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04? [05:52] Neuro2112: i wanted to show off "Write fire to screen" and I made the left click be the initiate fire basically and it erased the other keybind, where as I thought it would just add it instead of erase it [05:52] bijur, understood, sorry. [05:52] can I connect wireless so far it seems inosible [05:52] could you please confirm that I need to modify /etc/fstab to auto mount a partition at startup time? I'm using SimpleBackup and since doesn't find the mount point it crashes. [05:52] yit4s: and i say "scary" because i am always careful when it comes to windoze [05:52] redwyrm: my mistake :) [05:52] x1: use the Updata Manager, or install 8.04 over 7.10 [05:52] thanks all, see you later! [05:52] x1 http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [05:52] jjoyner: I'm not sure how to move that back, but this looks promising and it may help you bind buittons later http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=219894 [05:52] bijur, you wouldn't happen to know anything about my problem, would you? :P [05:52] bijur: thanks for trying. i appreciate it :) [05:52] x1: I think there's also a way to do it with the alternate 8.04 cd that doesn't require reinstalling [05:52] Neuro2112: i don't care a thing about those nice graphics and the one time i want to show them off, this happens :( [05:52] i'll try to explain better: several computers on the LAN have SSH installed. I need to know how to connect over the public IP address assigned to the modem to the private IP addresses assigned by the router to each terminal. [05:52] the only problem I came up with was when the computer stalled in the middle of installing vlc, I decided to do a hard reboot, and I had to manually empty a temporary folder using rm * in terminal [05:52] administrator: a good combination of wpa_supplicant and wpa_gui wud get u there [05:53] Ok, I'll take a look, thanks [05:53] In-Sane`` : no problemo :) [05:53] Yeah, I was hoping there was a way that would avoid reinstalling [05:53] how about vmware-server, are their finally working packages out for 8.04? [05:53] tenX: i'm not scared banning windows. it's just that i'm scared when no windows is running on on my computer :D beside, i cant set up computer without GUI [05:53] I got 8.4 no succes on wireless [05:53] Travis: use a vpn, or forward different ports on the modem/router to each computer on the lan [05:53] administrator: if its not oo much trouble cud u shorten ur name pls? [05:54] administrator: which wireless card? [05:54] !tell administrator about wireless [05:54] bijur: you could use tab completion [05:54] alright. thanks! === xxx is now known as [cE_eXeMpHe_fZ_c [05:54] !wifi [05:54] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [05:54] yit4s: of course that is a step. but afaik you can setup a linux system without a lot of knowledge [05:54] Starnestommy: wicked [05:54] What is the effect of a line "LANGUAGE="de_DE:de:en_GB:en" in /etc/environment and /etc/default/locale? [05:54] Starnestommy: is this a client feature? [05:54] administrator, type this: /nick admin [05:54] bijur: it is [05:54] tenX: then i guess Wubi is the best way. [05:54] Starnestommy: i love erc ! :) [05:54] how do i force a unmount? i want to change cd [05:54] yit4s, i would recommend doing a wubi install or testing liveCD first [05:55] bijur: most clients have it [05:55] zChris: do as root! [05:55] zChris you do not need to force a cd to unmount, just eject it [05:55] zChris: u'd still have to find the pgms accessing it and kill em [05:55] DJ_Cranky: cant eject if not unmounted [05:55] I have had my share of problems when I first installed SuSE on a windows computer (it was then my only computer) [05:55] kushal05212008: i did LiveCD and i'm on wubi. Wubi rocks! [05:55] yit4s: watch for my query. i am thankful for everyone that tries linux but a half a$$ installation can't be the way imho [05:55] I got a trendnet wireless card [05:56] yit4s: whats wubi? [05:56] which works great with windows [05:56] !wubi [05:56] 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. [05:56] yit4s, do you think wubi is slow for you? [05:56] don t know what s hapening here [05:56] bijur: i dont want to kill samba , the thing is that i have my cdrom in the server, and mounted it as Z: on the windows. Then im trying to install a game with multiple cds, but i cant change cd since its in use [05:56] jjoyner: which buttons are crossed now? [05:56] administrator: you might need to use ndiswrapper and the windows driver for your wireless card [05:56] jjoyner: left to right? [05:56] administrator: see first if u have the drivers for trendnet, simply google for ubuntu trendnet wireless driver [05:56] what's up with Hardy/PulseAudio only playing audio from a single application? [05:57] i'm trying to configure wpa supplicant to work, and i'm having problems. as i understand it when i type the "sudo wpa_supplicant -Bw -Dwext -i wlan1 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf" it's supposed to connect to my network but its not doing anything. when i attach -dd at the end of that this is what i get: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14448/ [05:57] administrator: get back to us once thats installed and loaded [05:57] kushal05212008: never been on a real Ubuntu partition but it is faster than LiveCD of course. it's just that it takes double amount of time of windows for booting [05:57] Neuro2112: it isn't that they are crossed, it is that neither function properly just with a mouse click [05:57] Neuro2112: as if i wanted to click on a link, i would have to hold shift AND left click [05:57] yit4s yes, wubi typically has slow reboots as better virtual disk processes start after boot [05:57] blizzardman1219: dude, are u familiar with wpa_supplicant? [05:58] bijur: no, i'm not [05:58] blizzardman1219: if not install a package called wpagui [05:58] jjoyner: ooh.. that is bad.. maybe you can get a weight for the shift key? [05:58] kushal05212008: and Amarok works great like a charm. my family wants it on their windows [05:58] jjoyner: :) [05:58] Neuro2112: the same goes with anything that should just require left click, i have to hold one of those 3 i listed [05:58] blizzardman1219: also create ur /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf file [05:58] Neuro2112: haha, i'm pretty pissed at myself for being so careless [05:58] bijur: do you have a link to wpagui? [05:58] bijur: is there no fix ? :( [05:59] bijur: i already have a wpa_supplicant.conf file [05:59] DJ_Cranky: just wondering, does the ubuntu's performance is the same as on wubi and normal partition? except the boot time [05:59] blizzardman1219 install it from synaptic package manager [05:59] yit4s, I don't remember ever using amorak [05:59] bijur thanks I ll install those divers I guess I forgot that this ain t windows it wont pick up the drivers automatically [05:59] blizzardman1219: and have the update_config=1 in that file [05:59] thanks [05:59] DJ_Cranky: i would if i could, but i don't have an internet connection on my ubuntu computer [05:59] administrator: most drivers *are* loaded automatically [05:59] blizzardman1219: then use the wpa_gui tool to scan for networks and connect === alan_m_ is now known as Alan_M [05:59] zChris: sudo fuser -vkim /media/cdrom [05:59] administrator: much more so than on windows, certainly [06:00] kushal05212008: it doesnt come with ubuntu by default. you have to install it via synaptic or add/remove [06:00] yit4s wubi performs about 90% disk speed for reads/writes to hard drives, but besides HDD everything performs full speed, this is because wubi uses a virtual disk image that runs below the ubuntu kernel [06:00] administrator: i did not install a single dirver manually on this toshiba satellite m55-s135 [06:00] administrator: dude, in windows also , u have to install drivers for every device on the machine, for some windows ships with drivers and in a world where devices are increasing, thats one of the reasons why ur windows installation is so f%$%#ing huge [06:00] * driver [06:00] bijur: i would much rather have wpagui then wpa_supplicant but i have no way to install it with synaptic package manager considering that i don't have an internet connection which is why i'm here in the first place [06:01] blizzardman1219: try apt-get [06:01] DJ_Cranky: so i guess i'm getting the full feature of ubuntu on wubi, isnt it? [06:01] blizzardman1219: apt-get install wpagui [06:01] administrator, i find that with linux - it has 90+% of the drivers i need for any random machine.. Other then the Video card, and wireless card.. theres very few drivers ive ever had to install. [06:01] can we talk about deCSS or is it forbidden here? [06:01] bijur: if he doesn't have a network connection, apt-get won't work either [06:01] yit4s yes, just slightly slower reads/writes to your filesystem, however remember secondary hard drives and external drives run full speed [06:02] !medibuntu | kushal05212008 [06:02] kushal05212008: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [06:02] yit4s only the virtual disk is slower, [06:02] kushal05212008, whats to talk about. :) its in the unofficial repos.

[06:11] I have been to that site [06:12] yit4s: it could be on the router side, which is why I asked.

[06:12] tritium: like i said, i dont have any problem on windows, connected to the same router on the same laptop [06:12] yit4s: you could configure the dhcp client, or you could set yourself up to use OpenDNS.

[06:41] i am install the ubuntu server, it gets stuck at 42% @ scanning the mirror [06:41] install it [06:41] the desktop installer [06:41] i can't use [06:41] r2r: then you won't have a desktop [06:41] apt-get [06:42] agree [06:42] yunsn: install it, and then do "winecfg" in terminal [06:42] ok ill intall fluxbox by apt-get [06:42] I was wondering if anyone knows if XFS is fixed in Hardy. I Gutsy, it would cause file corruption when copying large files [06:42] I/in [06:43] can i do that? install command line system for desktop cd [06:43] r2r, you are not making a lot of sence. [06:43] r2r: no you need the alternate cd as previously mentioned [06:43] friedtofu:yeah, i installed it,but i can't config [06:43] r2r: you were already told [06:43] r2r: the desktop cd still installs a desktop [06:43] i am installing the ubuntu server, it gets stuck at 42% @ scanning the mirror [06:43] What might be a good channel for building an inexpensive HTPC? I'd like it to be linux based, so I was thinking #linux or maybe #mythbuntu, but it's actually more of a hardware question after that [06:43] i orderd 20cd's for shit!!!!!!!!!!! [06:44] r2r, the desktop install has command line :) [06:44] ohh [06:44] wow [06:44] are there any DVD players that can display the DVD's main menu? [06:44] r2r: you can uninstall the desktop stuff after it's installed [06:44] r2r: watch the language, and the attitude [06:44] were you listenng dr [06:44] dmsuperman: #hardware maybe [06:44] how you can edit userContent.css ? [06:44] iam sorry [06:44] Linux basics. :) the shell is our friend. [06:44] sjdurfey, yes. i belive gmplayer can. [06:45] i'm looking for help getting alsa up on an old Dell Inspiron 7000 [06:45] astro76, will try that, thanks [06:45] friedtofu: winecfg need '.dll',s file? [06:45] i am installing the ubuntu server, it gets stuck at 42% @ scanning the mirror <--- can anyone see my message ? [06:45] shifty1b: yes [06:45] Dr_willis: havent met you around here for a while [06:45] shifty1b: does waiting 5 minutes work? [06:45] tenX, im in here every day :) [06:45] starnestommy : been waiting for like 20 minutes already [06:45] what do i need to compile C programs. ... i'm missing lots of headers files ? [06:46] Mba7eth: build-essential [06:46] shifty1b: try telling it to use another mirror [06:46] hey ... just installed 8.04 and now my screen resolution is 800x600 ... ideas on how to (easily) reconfigure thsi? [06:46] so i uninstall the gui after it is installed?? [06:46] r2r: yes [06:46] r2r: you can [06:46] Dr_willis: well i hang out here rather seldom. usually when i want to forget about everything being wasted :> [06:46] starnestommy : how do i do that [06:46] yunsn: after you do "winecfg" it should pop up a box that says WIne configuration. you can close it- so when you want to install stuff from windows... that involves .exe - you can do "wine (path to file).exe" and it'll install. look up the application on winehq.com with their wineapp for compatibility issues and the like. [06:46] no way to do that directly [06:46] i have a sempron proc here which ubuntu installer should i download ? [06:46] r2r: you've been told multiple times [06:46] I fixed firefox 2.* with a script, for ff 3 beta 5 I read editing userContent.css [06:46] thanks alot tritium [06:46] shifty1b: I'm not exactly sure how to do it for the server version [06:46] i have also asked multiple times [06:47] Mba7eth: no worries [06:47] how can i reconfigure my screen resolution? i'm on 8.04 at 800x600 now. [06:47] r2r: unnecessarily so, since you've gotten the correct answer multiple times now. Pay attention! [06:47] i know i have other resolutions available, before the 8.04 upgrade. [06:47] man it will just get stuck on the desktop [06:47] Dr_willis: unless GNOME Mplayer is different then gmplayer, it doesnt work, thanks for the suggestion though [06:47] jwtodd: edit xorg.conf if you're able to? [06:48] k [06:48] How can I tell whether I'm using ALSA or OSS? [06:48] sjdurfey, somthings weird then.. I pertty much only use gmplayer and i get my dvd menus. [06:48] bruce_: you're using alsa if you're using ubuntu [06:48] i thought there was a pretty sweet tool to help w/ this sometime back [06:48] bruce: you can set which in jack control [06:48] sjdurfey, i do recall a play dvd -> menus and a play dvd as 2 menu items [06:48] friedtofu: thanks i try now [06:48] ohh i have xubuntu 8.04 in the iso i can do it with that?? [06:49] r2r, the people in here are volunteers...we dont guaruntee miracles but we do know a thing or two about ubuntu. If we tell you something, just pay attention, if it screws up we can most probably get you to a point where its fixed again. :) [06:49] r2r: install the xfce desktop [06:49] can someone help me with flash problems in firefox on Ubuntu Hardy? [06:49] yeah thats possible [06:49] ok so thanks [06:49] Dr_Willis: i just opened up GNOME Mplayer right now, and i dont see anything of the like [06:49] sjdurfey, i recall vlc and gmplayer also having a play -> dvd -> chapter -> where you could select a specific cnapter and not the menus. [06:49] r2r: Why don't you just download the alternate CD? It'll save you a lot of effort at the cost of a little bandwidth and a CD [06:49] The only thing I can find on large file corruption on XFS that Gutsy suffered is here, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/190839 but it looks like the bug report is stale [06:49] mk: there are firefox issues with flash? [06:49] Launchpad bug 190839 in linux-source-2.6.22 "Large file corruption on XFS" [Undecided,Won't fix] [06:49] not unlimited net [06:50] sjdurfey, it may be theres some dvdnav package to install. [06:50] Dr_Willis: i have that installed already [06:50] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBugDay/20080306 then here it is listed again, but marked green, does that means its fixed in hardy?

[06:51] mk: http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/12/26/manually-install-adobe-flash-temporary-flashplugin-nonfree-fix/ [06:51] r2r: if you install Ubuntu, then use the removing gnome option from this page: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce except without the installation of xubuntu-desktop, you can then add fluxbox to it [06:51] I've had 3 Gutsy PC's die of XFS corruption :( [06:51] Does anybody know if there is a way to automatically disconnect a bluetooth device (such as an Apple Bluetooth Keyboard) after X period of inactivity? [06:51] slowly too [06:51] I am trying to get some mail services working, but can't seem to open the correct ports [06:51] dont use xfs then! ... ext3~! haha [06:51] hrmm... anyone using ebox?

I'm trying to install the DOM inspector for Firefox 3.0b5. It shows up as installed in Synaptic, but I don't see it in any menu in Firefox, nor is it listed as installed in the Add-Ins window.

[07:06] tritium: i can't seem to find it :/ is there another way to open it? [07:06] Dr_willis: I see... well... its a shame.. [07:06] Dr_willis: thanks [07:06] starn: Thats impossible because when I was on windows, i used that wubi thing and it installed fine. [07:07] kuma_, i dont see those keys working here - under windows either [07:07] blizzardman1219: "dpkg -L wpagui" will list the files in the package. Look for a binary in /usr/bin [07:07] So... I tried to replace my pidgin icon, and it won't replace. Can someone help me? [07:07] Shervin1: watch the language [07:07] Shervin1: wubi works differently. There might also be something else causing the installer to fail [07:07] starn: no idea, how can I tell?

[07:15] c_workaholic: lots of things, but neither of those packages [07:15] ok it come back with sudo: unable to resolve host Chris-Desktop [07:15] Legendario: yes [07:15] Shervin1: if it's not working in the terminal either, then it might not work at all [07:15] tritium: oh... will it be ok if i still use 7.04 [unsupported] for the next few years [07:15] Omega11, you changed your hostname recently? [07:15] i changed it to that when i installed [07:15] legend2440: thanks a lot man... [07:15] !hostname | Omega11 [07:15] Omega11: 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 [07:16] c_workaholic: i am about to roll back [07:16] c_workaholic: it's up to you [07:16] tritium: thanks [07:16] starn: i was following the procedure at alsa for my weird device, ESS1688 [07:16] Omega11: run "nano /etc/hosts" in recovery mode and add this: 127.0.1.1 Chris-Desktop [07:16] <[TiZ]> Anyone? Anyone at all? [07:16] Legendario: no problem [07:16] tekrytor: did you install build-essential or not? [07:16] thanks [07:16] everytime I press it, [07:17] starne: but is there something i can write to execute the installation in the terminal? [07:17] Shervin1: I think it's gksudo ubiquity [07:18] starn: not that I'm aware of, I installed ubuntu 7.04 then upgraded to 7.10. the audio never worked tho [07:18] tekrytor: please install build-esential then try to compile that again [07:18] starn: so I started down the road with alsa procedures for my soundchip [07:18] er, build-essential [07:18] alright [07:18] that took way too long to figure out >_> [07:18] <[TiZ]> Um, do I even exist right now? No one's responding... I wonder if something's wrong on my end. [07:19] you exist [07:19] [TiZ]: you might need to ask your question again [07:19] starn, thanks, is build-essential from alsa or elsewhere? [07:19] <[TiZ]> Phew, I exist. That's a relief. [07:19] tekrytor: sudo apt-get install build-essential [07:19] true that [07:20] starn: thanks, will do [07:20] <[TiZ]> Okay, I'll try again. ZSNES runs really badly. How can I get it to run better? I'm on a laptop with an ATI Radeon Xpress 1150, and the fglrx drivers are installed. I'm running Compiz Fusion, too. [07:20] [TiZ], disable compiz fusion for a start. [07:20] which is the gnome application that finishes the session? [07:20] [TiZ], it runs decently well here on my ati x200m video card. [07:20] anyone seen a good tutorial on getting WPA working [07:21] <[TiZ]> Dr_willis, how do I turn it off? [07:21] can someone help me uninstall crossover linux [07:21] [TiZ], DESKTOP -> Wallpaper -> effects -> disable [07:21] alright those two things are fixed gonna reboot now [07:21] brb [07:21] <[TiZ]> Ah... hm... [07:22] <[TiZ]> And after I got it set up the way I want it, too. [07:22] starn: is there anything i can do? [07:23] Shervin: try burning another disc [07:23] Shervin: or use the alternate install cd === FRiEd|BnC is now known as FriedCPU [07:23] [TiZ], it aint gong to lose your settings. [07:24] can someone help me uninstall crossover linux [07:24] msnrhfjks [07:24] <[TiZ]> It won't? Okay. === elkbuntu is now known as elky [07:24] <[TiZ]> I'll turn it off and see if ZSNES runs better [07:24] hellow i'm cinta laura [07:24] robbie``: try ubuntuguide or ubuntugeek websites [07:25] how do i check to see if my 8.08 server instalation is usung a kernel that sees and uses both CPU's? [07:25] ok, any idea when Firefox 3 RC1 will hit update manager, or is there anywhere I can download the RC1 source to compile myself? [07:25] do i need to install a special smp kernel or something? [07:25] <[TiZ]> Still no good. Really, really slow. [07:25] lukifer_etyrnal: the default kernel should be able to see all cpus [07:25] Does ubuntu support RTL8180 Wireless card? [07:26] Starnestommy, thanks, how can verify both cpu's ar eseen/used? [07:26] Condoulo: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-rc.html [07:26] ok those are fixed :) last problem is i have installed the nvidia-glx legacy driver which my card needs how do i activate it in x [07:27] lukifer_etyrnal: sudo apt-get install htop then run it in gnome-terminal [07:27] ok i'm in the wpa_gui but when i click on scan i get nothing and in-fact, nothing in it is working [07:27] [TiZ], you got some deeper issues then. zsnes should run very well on rather low end systems. check its settings. disable the various modes, and effects perhaps. run it full screen at a low res also. [07:27] lukifer_etyrnal: cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep ^processor | wc -l [07:27] <[TiZ]> Dr_willis, it runs beautifully on Windows. hq3x, native resolution, everything. [07:27] <[TiZ]> I shouldn't have to disable anything, or pull any punches. [07:28] <[TiZ]> Well, at least inside ZSNES [07:28] [TiZ], could be a video driver. fglrx is not noted for being very well done. [07:28] akazawa: I think so. Check https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/RTL8180L [07:28] <[TiZ]> And there aren't any alternatives to fglrx, huh? [07:28] [TiZ], the normal ati driver, or the vesa driver [07:29] the ati driver may work fine for you - ive used it for ages on my x200m laptop [07:29] [TiZ], dont expect compiz to work with it however [07:29] <[TiZ]> The vesa driver's slower, isn't it? [07:29] Starnestommy, says two - plus when i ssh in it says "Linux machine 2.6.24-16-generic #1 SMP Thu Apr 10 13:23:42 UTC 2008 i686" [07:30] my firewall front-end apps are not able to control my ports, has anyone else experienced this? [07:30] Starnestommy, so thank You again. I appreciate Your help [07:30] hi [07:30] hi [07:30] pls help [07:30] promet: what are those "front-apps"? [07:30] how to change keybaord layout [07:30] i mean [07:30] keymap [07:30] tenX guarddog & firestarter [07:31] [TiZ], proberly. but for just 2d - the ati driver should work decently well. [07:31] i have xubuntu [07:31] promet: okay just curious. never dealt with them. do stuff on my own [07:31] <[TiZ]> Compiz runs great with fglrx. [07:31] ?? [07:31] tenX do you use ipchains etc. ? [07:31] <[TiZ]> I can even do the springy windows. [07:31] promet: iptables [07:31] [TiZ], its only recently with the release of hardy - i could even GET compiz working at all on my laptop. :) [07:31] if i used aptitude to install gdm... how do i either a.) boot into the gdm/login window, or b.) create a grub entry that would allow me to choose at boot-time? [07:32] [TiZ], i find compiz use4less eye candy and causes way too many problems. [07:32] tenX is it necessary to use iptables & ipchains together? [07:32] promet: ipchains i used back on earlier days [07:32] <[TiZ]> It seems there's a lot of mixed opinions on Hardy. And I enjoy my eyecandy. :P [07:32] promet: no! u can only use one of those [07:32] also how do i launch it (in that past i had desktop installed and was used to it just coming right up) [07:32] tenX iptables is preferred then? [07:32] promet: and nowadays you would always stick to iptables [07:32] kibibyte, I also use Xubuntu [07:33] promet: exactly ipchains is the past [07:33] lukifer_etyrnal: it should launch on boot, or upon running sudo invoke-rc.d gdm start [07:33] kibibyte, you might want to join #xubuntu and ask there [07:33] redwyrm, how to change keyboard layout [07:33] kibibyte, are you familiar with the xmodmap command? [07:33] promet: if you want to get deeper into firewalling i recommend reading a good book on iptables [07:33] i have keyboard from UK [07:33] tenX thanks [07:33] redarrow_, but is there ant tool for it [07:34] kibibyte, I'm going to google for a minute or two and find you a keymap to use [07:34] ok [07:34] Starnestommy, thanks again. [07:34] does anyone here have experience with wpa_gui [07:34] ? [07:34] I use RealPlayer11 to slove the problem of .rmvb file decoder under the ubuntu.thanks http://hellobmw.com/archives/how-to-play-rmvb-on-ubuntu.html [07:34] redwyrm, in xorg.conf i have Option "XkbLayout" "us" [07:34] how to change it [07:34] the other day in here someone gave me some info on fonts but i forgot how, because im trying to use windows fonts in linux, but anyway i just realised if i cp my fonts from my windows install to /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ then i can use them, is that an ok way of doing it though? [07:35] Sarah, are you woman [07:35] i think my last question of the evening is, in my fstab file (tried doing this in webmin, but it fails), what line do i need to add to mount an nfs export from another machine on my network? [07:35] kibibyte, do you know how to edit a file? [07:35] why is spaces in folder/filenames "bad" on linux? [07:35] is this a faulty iptables entry ? iptables -A FOWARD -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 6881-6999 -j ACCEPT [07:36] take a look at the --dport part [07:36] redwyrm, i know but is there any app tool for change x keymap [07:36] tenX yeah? [07:36] zChris: dport takes only one port [07:36] Ayabara: because it makes it so that in shell scripts and on the command line have to put " marks around the filenames or put \'s before spaces [07:36] Ayabara, it's bad because if you're typing a command in the terminal, you have to use backslashes before _every single_ space in a filename, otherwise it's treated as two separate filenames (usually) [07:36] zChris: dealing with ranges or multiport you have to use the multiport option [07:37] tenX: is there a option i can use to specify a range of ports? [07:37] tenX: so this one is false or have i read it wrong? http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-iptables-how-to-specify-a-range-of-ip-addresses-or-ports.html [07:37] zChris: actually i never ran into using a range in lack of applications having a need for that [07:37] Sarah: http://www.howtodude.net/howto/view.article.php/183 [07:38] zChris: but mport might take ranges i am not sure [07:38] zChris: w8 i'll take a look [07:38] redarrow_, Starnestommy, I'm aware of that, so my question was a little vague :-). What I wonder is why it is so. Was a decision made at some point in time that spaces in filenames are bad, since so many (all?) terminal commands treat spaces that way [07:39] * Ayabara is having a linuxhistory-lesson [07:39] Ayabara: it's because spaces are used for separating arguments for command line programs [07:39] Starnestommy, good point. [07:39] how can I change folder permissions please? [07:40] daftpunk: chmod -R to change the permissions of the directory and everything in it [07:40] daftpunk, depends on what directories [07:40] /var/www [07:40] its read only for the mo [07:40] anyone using vmware server 2 beta [07:41] klos: i stick to version one, sry [07:41] so it's chmod -R /var/www ? [07:41] klos, i tried.. but i couldent figure it out. :) they did too many changes to the interface [07:41] yea same for me [07:41] daftpunk, you want all users to be able to read/write to /var/www ? [07:41] i could apply my old vm [07:41] blya [07:41] yes [07:41] but when i started it i didnt get a picture or something [07:42] sorry, hi all [07:42] daftpunk: sudo chmod -R a+w /var/www, but note that that can be very dangerous as ANYONE can edit stuff there [07:42] it seemed to startup but how to interact with it ?? [07:42] do you need vmwarew orkstation now ? [07:42] daftpunk, theres proberly a proper way to do that - with groups. you are kicking the webserver right in the head from a security point of view [07:42] klos, i never did figure it all out. [07:43] in the Deskbar prefs, it says I can't use Beagle Live Extension because the Beagle Daemon is not running. How can I fix this? [07:43] klos, it sort of wanted to launch a web/browser plugin i recall. that dident work for me. [07:43] well the webrowser thing worked for me [07:43] Dr_willis thanks I will have a look at the groups first. It's just for my local stuff anyway [07:43] yoiu have to press the firefox button, so firefox accepts the certificate [07:44] could anyone explain me how to install kde4 on hardy heron? [07:44] script_, theres a kde4 desktop package you instgall. check the package manager [07:44] script_, ummm.... I believe you should be able to find it through synaptic. [07:44] in synaptic? [07:44] anyone been here? http://www.catb.org/retro/ [07:44] thanks [07:44] I have a problem, I have a USB fax/modem that uses the "Conexant Systems" chipset, but every time I turn the computer on the modem driver doesn't work :( I have to unplug the modem and re-insert it. then it goes :) Is there a command I can run that simulates a USB device being unpluged etc, [07:45] how do I remove all personal information of Gnome? [07:46] are usb modems work at ubuntu 8.04 ??? im using 7.10 and it doesnt work [07:46] ? [07:46] neil_d have you tried reinitializing it? [07:46] script_: it depends on the modem. You might have to manually install drivers for it [07:47] can someone help me with wpa_gui? nothing in it is working [07:47] I guess he talks about Alcatel DSL modems [07:47] is this very difficult? [07:47] kibibyte, sorry, I got distracted by conversations in other channels [07:47] sorry for my english [07:47] kibibyte, the tool you need is xmodmap [07:47] script_: somewhat difficult, depending on the modem [07:47] daftpunk: I am not sure what you mean. I have tried to rmmod/modprobe the driver that doesn't help. [07:48] kibibyte, and the way you use it is by piping the appropriate modmap file to it [07:48] blya thanks [07:48] script_ if you need to access the internet via ubuntu, i say install it in VMware and use ICS to access the internet [07:48] redwyrm, how [07:48] script_ this problem havent been solved for long time now, and i dont think it would be solved anytime soon [07:48] what does it mean? ICs ? [07:49] kibibyte, xmodmap < modmapfile [07:49] its internet connection sharing from windows xp machine [07:49] I'm having a problem with replacing icons. Can someone help me? [07:49] script_: Internet Connection Sharing [07:49] i dident have to set up ICS to get vmware to the network - under vista.. of course it may of auto-did-it during the install === ka2zzzz is now known as ka2u [07:49] kibibyte, the downside is that you need to use that command every time you start up X [07:50] why this problem exist very long time? Programmists from ubuntu couldnt destroy that problem? [07:50] so how to make it perm [07:50] with usb modems? [07:50] script_: it's because some usb modem makers don't care about linux enough to make drivers for it [07:50] bitchs [07:50] kibibyte, I'm not sure how you would make it permanent... all I know how to do is to change it when you start up X [07:50] ok [07:51] kibibyte, sorry [07:51] ok [07:51] i dont kill you [07:51] bye bye all [07:52] lol kibibyte [07:52] I'm hoping someone can help me here. I have a new keyboard/mouse set ... I can no longer use the Ctrl-Alt-F1 (or any other function key combination).... any ideas? [07:52] Darlok_Williams, what happens if you plug in the old keyboard? [07:53] does it work again when you do that? [07:53] So, if I replace an occurance of an icon with another icon (and a GUI preference window confirms that I have changed it) what could keep the icon the same as the old one? [07:53] Flannel: sir you there [07:54] redwyrm: I haven't tried, but since this issue only began the second I hooked up the new set, I have no reason to think it wouldn't work (the old set was destroyed, so I can't actually test it) [07:55] Darlok_Williams, is this a laptop or a desktop PC? [07:55] hey all, im doing this walkthrough to install my printer "http://mp610.blogspot.com/2007/11/new-sane-scanner-driver-for-canon-mp610.html" and im just wandering, now that ive dloaded that package and put it in my home dir, the $make command, how do i run that [07:55] redwyrm: It's a desktop. [07:55] do i jsut type it into console [07:55] or is it $make and then the name of the package? [07:56] is there a way you could borrow somebody else's keyboard? [07:56] moDumass: just make [07:56] starnestommy how does it know what to make since there is a whole bunch of stuff in that dir === Omega11 is now known as Omega111 [07:56] or do i go to that dir in itseld [07:56] Darlok_Williams, is there a way you could borrow somebody else's keyboard? [07:56] ok my ubuntu is up and working now :) last thing is the printer driver [07:56] moDumass: go into it first, then run make [07:56] moDumass: it knows what to make by reading the Makefile [07:57] redwyrm: I have a spare USB keyboard here... the new set it a Microsoft (blech) Wireless Desktop [07:57] starnestommy so home/username/package make [07:57] cool, brb [07:57] moDumass: make uses special files in the directory to know what to do. [07:57] thanks btw [07:57] redwyrm: I don't suppose I could have two keyboards hooked up at once without complications, could I? [07:57] Darlok_Williams, i do that all the time [07:57] Darlok_Williams, 2+ mice also [07:58] Dr_willis: And they both work just fine? [07:58] Darlok_Williams, No problems [07:58] Darlok_Williams, if i had problems.. i wouldent be doing it. :) [07:58] Darlok_Williams, if they are USB keyboards, it will work, yes [07:59] Since dist-upgrading to Hardy my GNOME programs are in English. How can I change them to German? locale prints all "de_DE.UTF8". [07:59] Dr_willis: Just tried it... how fricken awesome is that? ;) [07:59] Darlok_Williams, though if one keyboard has problems, the results could be "interesting"... [07:59] hmm sudo: /home/modumass/mp150-0.14.4.tar.bz2: command not found this is with "make" [07:59] redwyrm: Okay, I just plugged in my other USB keyboard... the function key combos work on it. [07:59]  little help in reconfiguring grub to detect my windows boot loader [07:59] moDumass: you might need to extract that package firsr [07:59] Darlok_Williams, well, is this other keyboard ergonomic and useful for you? [07:59] *first [08:00] Darlok_Williams, your Fk issue isent due to one keyboard defaulting to the Fkeys being 'media' keys is it ? i got a keyboard like that.. [08:00] yeh i did, hangon may have to rename that path [08:00] thanks [08:00] I have a problem, I have a USB fax/modem that uses the "Conexant Systems" chipset, but every time I turn the computer on the modem driver doesn't work :( I have to unplug the modem and re-insert it. then it goes :) Is there a command I can run that simulates a USB device being unpluged etc, I have tried restarting the drive without success :( [08:00] redwyrm: The new keyboard is a wireless ergonomic keyboard and wireless laser mouse (it's a set, same wireless receiver). It's pretty important that I keep using it...wasn't exactly cheap. [08:00] ok,it says its a dir [08:01] moDumass: try unpacking it first then read the readme,install files [08:01] Dr_willis: That's a possibility, I guess. It is a keyboard with a ton of extra buttons only Windows knows what to do with. [08:01] Rat409 will do thanks, i was following a walkthrough [08:01] moDumass: cd into it, then run ./configure, then make [08:01] legend2440: hello sir [08:01] ah [08:01] ok [08:01] cool [08:01] legend2440:  sir little help in reconfiguring grub to detect my windows boot loader [08:02] awesome its doing stuff [08:02] moDumass: and check the install and readme files in it, too, becire running ./configure or make [08:02] tv7497: hello how are you? [08:02] legend2440: doing good sir [08:02] Darlok_Williams, so the new one is the one with problems, I take it? [08:02] *before [08:03] legend2440: i just installed windows tried to configure grub didnt work [08:03] redwyrm: Correct. [08:03] tv7497: sorry i don't dual boot with windows. only use ubuntu so not much help with grub [08:03] Darlok_Williams, what happens if you search on the Ubuntu forums for your keyboard make and model? [08:03] legend2440: no problem sir :-) [08:04] Darlok_Williams, like... what results do you get? [08:04] bazhang : sir you there ???? [08:04] redwyrm: I've tried it a few days ago... most of it was just to get it work in general. I don't remember seeing anyone asking to get the function keys to ...well, function properly. [08:04] tv7497: You're having troubles with grub? [08:05] mgregsond: yes sir need to make my windows boot loader work [08:05] tv7497: Grub is what currently comes up when you boot, yes? [08:06] mgregsond: yes sir [08:06] legend2440, hi legend2440 [08:06] Darlok_Williams, well, this 2 keyboard solution should make your system somewhat usable until you figure out what the problem with the function keys is :/ [08:06] tv7497: Do you know which drive windows is installed on? [08:06] xukun: hello xukun [08:07] xukun: did you figure out why screen moves with mouse? [08:07] tv7497: Tell grub which drive windows should be on with rootnoverify (hd0,0) (for example - replace hd0,0 with the right value) [08:07] mgregsond: well sir i installed windows completely in new hard disk of 40 gb and i have ubuntu in 160 gb hdd [08:07] legend2440, sadly no [08:07] redwyrm: Right... and I'm glad to know about that... but good grief. I really HATE Microsoft... my short talk with the Best Buy sales staff today (before buying a new system) didn't help either. They actually are trained to spread incredible lies about hardware too. [08:07] anyone have a moment or two to help me figure out what line to put in my fstab to mount an nfs mount? the export works, and mounts on my osx machines, but i need to make it work on this linux box [08:08] Darlok_Williams, yeah, those guys at Best Buy do not know shit [08:08] mgregsond: should i replace (hd0 , 0 ) to (hdo , 1) sir [08:08] tv7497: Probably not. [08:08] and the little shit that they _do_ think they know is actually disinformation [08:08] legend2440, I think that I need to put something on the "Screen Section" of xorg for the tv [08:08] redwyrm: I guess this is what I get for buying Microsoft hardware (although the keyboard/mouse worked instantly when booting into Linux... had to wait a few minutes for Windows to install the generic drivers for it) :P [08:08] Darlok_Williams: like what ? [08:08] Darlok_Williams, is it too late to return it and get your money back? [08:09] tv7497: It depends on how things are set up in your computer... [08:09] starn: i installed build-essential but got errors, see http://paste.ubuntu.com/14462/ [08:09] neil_d: They said it was impossible to remove Vista because all the drivers were written specifically for Vista.... that was the first red flag for me that she didn't know a thing. [08:09] Darlok_Williams, I'd be willing to guess that there are other keyboards with similar features that have better support on Ubuntu/Linux [08:09] find /boot/grub/stage1 when i gave this sir the out put was hdo 0 sir mgregsond [08:09] xukun: i thinkit has something to do with clone vs dual monitor setup. dual allows moving files across two monitors while clone only mimics what is shown on one monitor on to another. i think you ar in dual mode [08:09] tekrytor: build-essential appears to be installed now [08:09] Darlok_Williams: oh yes .... [08:09] redwyrm: Features mean nothing to me. I just wanted a decent wireless keyboard... but they ALL have so many "media" and "function" keys. [08:10] legend2440, that would make sense. [08:10] tv7497: How many hard drives do you have in your computer? [08:10] Darlok_Williams, well, a keyboard's wireless-ness _is_ a feature :P [08:10] xukun: did you get mplayer to work for tv out? [08:10] tekrytor: the other problems appear to have been caused by timidity not working [08:11] mgregsond: two sir 1 for ubuntu and another for xp [08:11] neil_d: You'll be happy to know that I have had MUCH better hardware support in Linux than in Windows thus far (I had to use Linux to download drivers for my LAN card before windows would let me get online) :P [08:11] redwyrm: You know what I meant :P [08:11] Darlok_Williams, so can you return your keyboard? [08:11] Darlok_Williams, and get your money back? [08:11] tv7497: Are they SATA drives? [08:11] redwyrm: It's been a while... probably not. [08:11] legend2440, no when I start mplayer to play movie I get only blue screen on the tv [08:11] :( [08:11] redwyrm: I doubt I have the receipt any more. [08:11] mgregsond: yes sir [08:12] starn: i use synaptic, tried reinstalling timidity, but its errors persist [08:12] xukun: yea thats what i got until i found a video driver that would work [08:12] redwyrm: I know the function keys work (just hitting F1 opens a help window)... it's just combining it with Ctrl or Alt that has no effect. [08:12] tv7497: Ok, and your ubuntu starts up just fine? [08:12] tekrytor: it looks like something with alsa caused it [08:12] legend2440, where can I select this video driver in mplayer? [08:12] mgregsond: its wonderful sir [08:12] tekrytor: I'm not sure how to fix it [08:13] Darlok_Williams, now that is very odd [08:13] redwyrm: I agree.... [08:13] Darlok_Williams: I don't use windows much, but I can understand that. just yesterday a bad keyboard caused my win98 computer to run out of memory !! figure that one out. [08:13] tv7497: Alright, do you know which section of your grub configuration is for booting ubuntu? [08:13] starn: thanks for trying!!! [08:13] mgregsond: dont know sir [08:13] neil_d: Microsoft had a deal with the keyboard and memory chip manufacturers :) [08:13] Darlok_Williams, read the manpage for the "xev" command [08:13] Darlok_Williams, that's what you need! [08:14] xukun: right click on the gray control panel then select preferences>video you should have different drivers listed [08:15] redwyrm: Hmm.. yeah, I'm not a developer. I've used xev before but have no idea what to make of the results. [08:15] what kind of errrors would cause remount=ro in fstab [08:15] !grub | tv7497 [08:15] tv7497: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [08:15] redwyrm: I just know that it recognizes a difference with every combination I use. [08:15] Darlok_Williams, well, it could help you post a thread on the forum [08:15] (cut-and-paste the output) [08:16] tv7497: Ok, hold on, I'm checking... [08:16] redwyrm: I think I'm getting to that point. It's not HUGE, really... but annoying nonetheless. [08:16] Curious - Does Windows allow you to use two USB keyboards or mice like Linux does? [08:16] magnetron: sir i am at recovering windows boot loader in that article sir there is no boot descrption about windows boot loader in /boot/grub/menu.lst [08:16] legend2440, xv X11/Xv is now selected [08:16] Darlok_Williams, I have no idea... I haven't tried that in Windows [08:17] tv7497: that's why you need to recover it. [08:17] redwyrm: heh... I only keep Windows installed for my games.... no need for two keyboards there. [08:17] Darlok: windows does let you use two or more USB kb or mice [08:17] XP anyway [08:17] magnetron: can i proceed from that article sir [08:17] xukun: for me the one that worked is gl [08:18] tv7497: I'm guessing that (hd1,0) is your windows install [08:18] tekrytor: Ah... I use a stripped-down version of XP (thank God for slipstreaming)... never tried it. [08:18] tv7497: So, you'd want lines like [08:18] legend2440, ok I will try different one's [08:18] what log file holds the bootup rc script output ? [08:18] tv7497: title Windows [08:18] H__: dmesg [08:18] tv7497: root (hd1,0) [08:19] tv7497: makeactive [08:19] anyone have a moment or two to help me figure out what line to put in my fstab to mount an nfs mount? the export works, and mounts on my osx machines, but i need to make it work on this linux box [08:19] tv7497: chainloader +1 [08:19] "ioctl(SIOCSIWMODE) failed: Device or resource busy" what does this mean? [08:19] tv7497: sorry, it should be rootnoverify (hd1,0) rather than root (hd1,0) [08:19] Starnestommy : only part of it, the 'nfs internal errors' I get are not in there [08:19] athreya: it depends on what put out that error [08:19] !nfs [08:19] nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. [08:19] xukun: do you have fglrx-amdcccle installed? [08:19] mgregsond: k sir i will try now and let you know sir and sir where should i add this command [08:20] man fstab [08:20] Darlok_Williams, good night [08:20] and good luck [08:20] redwyrm: Thanks for you help, bud... [08:20] grr. [08:20] tv7497: /boot/grub/menu.lst [08:20] tv7497: in the article, they say "your windows stanza should look something like this". add something like that to the menu [08:20] I hate it when other users don't see my appreciation lol === leif is now known as leifdk1978 [08:20] Dr_willis : nfs works, but hangs for some 30 seconds during boot. I think it is because dhcp client has not run yet, as machine does not ping yet either [08:21] darlok: xp lets you plug them in and they all work, but you have only one mouse pointer that can be controlled by any mouse connected, not as good as have multiple pointers, can Linux do multiple cursors? [08:21] legend2440, how can I check that? [08:21] mgregsond: sir the title not xp sir ?????/ [08:21] H__, yep ive heard of similer issues You could just mount it from the rc.local making it pause for a while befor trying to mount [08:22]  Starnestommy:http://paste.ubuntu.com/14463/ [08:22] xukun: open system>administration>synaptic [08:22] tv7497: The title doesn't matter - it can be whatever you like, it's only there to tell grub what to show in the menu. [08:22] how would I enable a splash screen? [08:22] H__, that url may have some tips. I also recall some nfs auto mounting tools that mounted when needed. [08:22] H__, look at the order things startup in /etc/rcS.d they have numbers like s40networking [08:22] Dr_willis interesting workaround. and set to noauto in fstab. that would help., yes. [08:22] k sir mgregsond [08:22] athreya: what are you running that is causing that error? [08:22] !info autofs [08:22] autofs (source: autofs): kernel-based automounter for Linux.

I'll try moving dhcp client to before the nfs stuff is mounted [08:23] legend2440, does this has something to do with amd chipsets bfglrx-amdcccle becouse I don't have imd [08:24] xukun: it is a control panel for ati radeon graphics card. is that what you have? ati radeon? [08:24] Starnestommy: sudo airodump-ng eth1 [08:25] athreya: something else is using eth1 while that command is being run [08:25] legend2440, yes I have ati radeon x300 card [08:25] legend2440, I will install that [08:25] xukun: also install fglrx-control [08:26] legend2440, ok [08:27] legend2440, done [08:27] mv S24dhcdbd S19dhcdbd in rc5.d, testing now :) [08:27] Starnestommy:I am connected to a wireless network..may this be the reason?

In other words, I don't want to use the trashbin)?

[09:07] pulse audio is network oriented [09:07] its a server for audio streams [09:07] ehh i meant dbus, not hal [09:07] ALSA is a api [09:07] something seems to be broken at update manager, I cannot get the update notifier icon to show up in the taskbar.. still updating from synaptic works.. something I need to reinstall?

[09:14] Starnestommy, mgregsond : I'll try this... [09:14] I've got ATI X600 on my laptop and currently running 1280x800. Is it possible and if so, good to set a higher screenresolution?

[09:15] xintron, can your monitor handle it [09:15] Carbonflux: main reason that i dont do clean hardy install, is that i cant get the display to work.. the bug is known, via integrated gfx just plain sucks. new gfx card is on the buy list.. [09:15] anyone an idea what is preventing S24dhcdbd to send dhcp requests out when it's running ? [09:16] hwilde: can the gfx card handle it?! [09:16] that is a hardware question [09:16] Dr_willis, thanks - Your help has got my NFS problem solved - the machine didn't even have nfs-common on it [09:16] hwilde: I don't know, since 1280x800 is the highest i can select without editing any files [09:16] ttkeppi, ouch, well it sounds like you can chip away at it app by app I guess...picking another server helped me a lot tho, the main server was getting really slow. [09:16] xintron, look up the specs on your laptop, that's not really an ubuntu question [09:17] lukifer_etyrnal, :) ubuntu dosetn install most of the server related stuff by default.

Just type /join ##windows to get to it [09:56] cpro, /j ##windows [09:56] hi bazhang === ward_ is now known as Ward1983 [09:56] theFATMAN: u'll have to talk me through adding it to my menu cos i dunno how to! (sry n00b, was a windblows user!) [09:57] starnestommy thanks [09:57] bazhang thanks [09:57] cpro :) [09:57] I have a funny problem i've tried to install ubuntu on 3 diffrent computers, with 3 diffrent soundcards, but with the same result. Only way to hear several sounds at the same time (i.e. mp3 and msn) is to use pulseaudio. But many games doesnt support pulseaudio and get silent. Any solution or suggestion??? [09:57] tritium: are you there? [09:57] robg_: that what I usually do but I'm trying to avoid installing X etc., think I'll just go with alternate and see how lean I can make it after the install [09:57] Black, yo, right click applications [09:57] kracker: doesn't look like it. He's been idle for 2 hours [09:58] captnpete: Alternate is a single boot system. You start the installer and go for a walk. [09:58] Starnestommy: i too think so [09:58] he is afk [09:58] who here uses xchat? [09:58] hey is there a program form which i can make linux partitons inside windows? [09:58] i do [09:58] epoxxy, only time it seems like, some people have experimented with totally removing pulse audio also, I would love a fix but so far I have not found one personally [09:58] iam using konversation [09:58] theFATMAN: a lot of people [09:58] robg_: sweet, sounds perfect - thanks man I didn't know it was that flexible [09:58] hey is there a program form which i can make linux partitons inside windows? [09:59] r2r, you mean resize a windows partition and create linux ones? or partition a new hard drive? [09:59] r2r ask in ##windows [09:59] epoxxy, there is talk of a fix soonish tho, not sure when :( [09:59] Starnestommy, lol, how do you enable the transparent window? [09:59] captpete: the less you mess with it the better the install. Just fill in the lines and go for a walk. [09:59] Carbonflux: i did the whereis. what do i do know? [09:59] theFATMAN: check the preference [09:59] r2r, i tend to use any linux live cd - that has the 'gparted' tools for my partioning needs. [09:59] there is a option [09:59] yit4s, did you see a list of all the places it is? [09:59] kracker, thanks [09:59] Carbonflux: yes [10:00] theFATMAN: where the hell did apt-get install netspeed? [10:00] r2r, right click 'computer' and go to 'manage' [10:00] yit4s, you can do a rm -rf on those paths and that will remove the files, thats all you need to do really [10:00] Carbonflux, ok. i think something needs to be done with alsa to be able to play several sounds at once, and be free from libflashsupport that craches firefox [10:00] HAY ALGUIEN ESPAÑOL? [10:00] Black, do a search, be in home or root maybe [10:00] epoxxy, one semi fix is to go into sounds and set everything to ALSA [10:01] !es | Anjiru [10:01] Anjiru: Aquí solamente hablamos inglés. Para Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es - allí obtendrá más ayuda. [10:01] Carbonflux, doesnt help [10:01] Carbonflux: just rm -rf for every one of them? [10:01] epoxxy, heh ya it did not help me [10:01] yit4s, sudo rm -rf [10:01] Captnpete: you need a live internet connection for Alternate because it calls home to the mirror during the install. [10:01] yit4s, should only be 3 of them iirc [10:01] Carbonflux, :P [10:01] epoxxy, some people claim it works in the forums heh [10:01] Hi [10:01] Just installed the core system here with ubuntu server edition , but when booting up the system he dosent start the os , [10:01] it just stops just after bios check , if i then remove all hds exept bootdisk it works [10:01] Any idea why it behaves like this ?

But they must have moved it for 8.04 (very clever move ;-)) - anyone know where it is now ? [10:21] (The help pages applied to 7.xx, I think) [10:22] babolat, try about:cache?device=disk [10:22] The Ubuntu help is very good in this respect. If you search for autoplay, it says: "autoplay: if autoplay is activated, cards are automatic..." [10:22] Top stuff ;-) [10:22] Hi! I am trying to install real player for linux, and i have a bin file now... does anyone know hos this is working? I tried to look after real player in synaptic but it does not find any. [10:23] <[_miT_]> xenomorph99, im looking at pages right now. let me see if i find anything [10:23] Matenda, I believe it is Helix player in Synaptic. [10:23] ok, ta [10:23] hfswork, thanks! :) [10:23] xenomorph99, places -> home folder to run the "file browser". then edit -> preferences and 'media' tab might be what you're looking for [10:23] spsneo: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=352460&highlight=iso+repository <--may help [10:24] Ah yes. Thanks - there it is. Pity they don't say that it's moved [10:24] Thanks for that [10:24] <[_miT_]> drtroll, Exposure, thats exactly what we're looking for [10:24] <[_miT_]> thanks drtroll [10:24] Nostie: I've been there. it's just the same. i'll try to poke in the cache directory and manually look up the files themselves [10:25] /home/yourname/.mozilla/firefox/random/Cache [10:25] hello, does ubuntu have a package for phpbb3? seems debian has one [10:25] Also, is it possible to burn DVD videos with Brasero or GnomeBaker? Only K3B appears to have a specific project option for this === tidus_ is now known as Rikku [10:25] * delcoyote hi [10:25] but it's very hard [10:25] hey, sometimes when i open a video my whole comp freezes this happens pretty regulalry maybe 2 or 3 times a week, everything but my mouse will freeze or seem to freeze when i am opening a vido [10:26] anyone else have this problem [10:26] Is the video playing from a DVD? [10:26] (disc) [10:26] nope [10:26] usually like a flash or avi or something [10:27] OK, cos sometimes read errors from DVDs will lock the machine up [10:27] vlc or movie player doesn't seem to make a difference, it sucks b/c the mouse is responsive but the key board isn't [10:27] which means the whole system hasn't frozen up but there is no way to restart x or anything === Rikku is now known as Tidus [10:27] Did you try CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE to restart X when it happens? [10:28] the keyboard is unaresponsive [10:28] but yeah i try a lot [10:28] to no avail always [10:28] OK, cos unresponsive can mean that it doesn't respond within a reasonable amount of time as to 'not at all' ;-) [10:29] obf213, have you tried disabling "overlay video output" in vlc preferences? (settings -> preferences -> video -> overlay video output) [10:29] Is it possible to burn DVD videos with Brasero or GnomeBaker? Only K3B appears to have a specific project option for this [10:30] drtroll no i haven't i will try it although totem has done the same thing [10:30] is it possible to burn DVD videos with Brasero or GnomeBaker? Only K3B appears to have a specific project option for this. And k3b doesn't work properly under Gnome because it won't automatically mount the disc you just burned to verify it. Why is it that Gnome apps often have functionality removed to the point of being unusable? [10:30] i think the problem may stem from compiz for some reason, [10:30] Q: How many IBM CPU's does it take to do a logical right shift? [10:30] A: 33. 1 to hold the bits and 32 to push the register. [10:31] Does everything play alright when compiz is disabled ? [10:31] xenomorph99: My ubuntu has no problems with burning disks. [10:31] With which application? [10:31] What can I manage my startup items with? [10:32] saint-takeshi: bum or sysvconfig [10:32] xenomorph99: simply go to the standard filemanager and say you want to burn a disk. You will be presented with options. [10:32] xenomorph99: you can easily make data dvds with brasero [10:32] obf: I've had a lot of problems with bad behavior of certain apps when desktop effects are turned on. Turning them off stopped my funny lock ups. [10:32] Is a data DVD the same as a video DVD? [10:32] Nothing special in one that isn't in the other?

For some reason, my firfox 3 beta5 on kubuntu/Hardy Heron looks old and ugly.. the GUI is raw and ugly looking, not smooth like it should look. The icons are not the right ones either. I have tried reinstalling firefox, but to no avail. I have deleted ~/.mozilla. Can anyone help? [11:01] hello. I have an Nvidia Geforce MX400 graphics interface. I tried to enable the nvidia drivers today, resulting in an error message saying that my graphics card can't be detected. I tried undoing it, using the nv or vga driver instead, but I still can't get back to my old settings. I'm running lo-res now and I would like my normal resolution back. (I'm running Hardy by the way). How do I fix this? [11:01] anyone could tell me where the source file is put when after using apt-get source command? [11:01] wudong: the current directory [11:01] how do i add another irc server to xchat connect list? [11:01] Hi guys I've use aticonfig --initial=dual-head to enable dual monitor display. But now some of my keyboard shortcuts have stopped working and when I try re-enable these shortcuts, certain command shortcuts aren't available (ie: open terminal). Also, whenever I open a program (ie: firefox / terminal) the program's top border/bar becomes part of the desktop's toolbar (ie: I can no longer see the desktop toolbar) and I can't even move the program's window ar [11:01] ound - it is fixed to the top left of my first screen.

Just extrace the sources, navigate to the root of the sources, then run gdb [11:02] hi all [11:03] thx [11:03] bazhang: umm download videos from sites [11:03] I am searching for rm to mp3 converter for ubuntu any one can tell me if there is any converters that comes with ubuntu [11:03] Starnestommy: i'm not sure where is that!

[11:03] bazhang: the error console tells me something about extension manager [11:03] urgh. xmms 1 gives Locking assertion failure. [11:03] yit4s, there a bunch of ff3 compatible ones that do that--if you search in add-ons page they will show up.

[11:12] so what codecs should i install [11:12] mohamed, the totem plugin is not all that great...remove it and install the mplayer-plugin [11:12] mohamed: go to medibuntu.org and follow instructions to download medibuntu repository into your machine. Then pick the multimedia apps, drivers and codecs you want. [11:12] i dont see a 64 download listed? [11:12] mohamed, all codecs should be covered by w32codecs [11:13] yea i installed w32codecs [11:13] tyler, hmm...then you;ll have to compile it :) [11:13] hello. Anyone got experience getting ati tv-out working? i have s-cideo working, but it is only showing the top left of my desktop, I sould like it to be a separate screen?

[11:15] mohamed: uninstall OpenJDK [11:15] anirud0: how do i point it to the file or whatever [11:15] chronographer you have to use ati-config to configure the tv-out properly. usually it involves activating the TV, enabling overscan and choosing the correct output format, although in my experience all this worked better in gutsy than in hardy, somehow my drivers get busted after I enable overscan... [11:15] oh? [11:15] BlackRece: I accidentally tab-completed the wrong name for the 100th time this week [11:15] #pvtclan [11:15] ok [11:15] is aticonfig gui? [11:15] BlackRece, to _restart_ gnome-panel, use killall, to _start_ gnome-panel use alt+F2 [11:15] BlackRece: so ignore the cp -r [11:15] i used xrandr and it seems ok. [11:16] hellO! [11:16] chronographer no you'll have to run it in a terminal, it's really easy to use. there's a gui called fglrxgui or something like that, I tried it but it's no good... [11:16] tyler, sorry, did'nt get you [11:16] ok I'll give it a go. [11:17] tyler, first download the tar.gz...then tar -xzf ...then cd ...then sudo python setup.py install [11:17] gee, I need to install fglrx first...

[11:40] anirudh0: bots aren't very good at detecting human misbehaviour [11:40] negge, rpms sometimes rely on older versions of libs [11:40] okay [11:40] Starnestommy, how difficult is it to scan for !@#$ [11:40] mohamed: full screen media players are discouraged because of bandwidth [11:40] so installing from source is always the best method if there's no .deb available? [11:41] exclipy: No problem [11:41] i see [11:41] so there is noway i can do it [11:41] mohamed, flash in full screen can kill your cpy [11:41] http://users.piuha.net/martti/comp/ubuntu/en/server.html Ward1983 this may help [11:41] anirudh0: it also needs to be established that !@#$ isn't allowed before banning [11:41] ok is there any other way i can do it [11:41] anirudh0: and sometimes it's purely accidental [11:41] Starnestommy, is it?

[11:43] no it allows [11:43] bazhang, ok thanx again [11:43] when i try totem it allows and shows [11:43] mohamed, this is'nt a very good way...but any video you watch on the net is downloaded to /tmp fiest [11:43] but when i use mplayer as default its not showing up [11:43] mohamed, so you can always browse to the video and watch it later [11:43] mohamed: there are issues between servers which provide full screen video and the carriers that need to provide the bandwidth. [11:44] ok [11:44] ok let me try that /tmp [11:44] robg_, i think he means full screen video of the same quality [11:44] robg_, then the user's cpu has to do the work...not the server [11:45] mohamed, Disclaimer:may not work..never tried it myself :) [11:45] ok [11:45] anirudh0: the user's CPU is not a problem. It is the bandwidth consumption. [11:45] i've installed flashplugin nonfree but firefox keeps saying flash isn't installed ... [11:46] thanks guys [11:46] robg_, well..if the video is of the same quality, then the same amount of data must be sent...so why more B/W [11:46] zzillezz: did you close down ALL instances of Firefox?

Or format it before [11:58] #debian even [11:58] Caf-Fiend, thats the most i've ever heard of man [11:58] debain [11:58] orgthingy: also, from now on use #debian. #ubuntu is for ubuntu users, not debian users [11:58] um, Im ubuntu user that wants to removes ubuntu [11:59] orgthingy: there's not really a lot of difference between Ubuntu and Debian though [11:59] i wont be ubuntu user, soon [11:59] yea i know that [11:59] delete the partitiosn.. done... reinstall other os [11:59] orgthingy, nice try but /j #debian [11:59] orgthingy: you aren't anymore. You're a debian user who wants to remove an exiting OS [11:59] *existing [11:59] orgthingy: you can't really remove *any* OS from a drive, you can just overwrite it [11:59] orgthingy: you can use gparted to delete ubuntu partitions [11:59] orgthingy: you can use gparted to delete partitions/ :) [12:00] orgthingy: but as I said, Debian is pretty much the same as Ubuntu, except most stuff doesn't work properly [12:00] Dr_willis, not very differnt from sudo rm -r / [12:00] hmm [12:00] so is there any way i can get restricted drivers to be in the hardware drivers section [12:00] anirudh0, faster :) [12:00] i mean the nvidia ones [12:00] Dr_willis, deleting a running partition :) [12:00] anirudh0: but that de;etes the files, not the partition [12:00] because they just aren't appearing in there [12:00] i cant remove ubuntu :S [12:00] only overwrite it [12:00] anirudh0, dont it befor. :) fun to watch it try to shutdown properly befor you KILL it off!

[12:01] Dr_willis, early on i once removed libstdc++ via synaptic [12:01] orgthingy: with a partition editor like gparted on the livecd [12:01] orgthingy, delete the partitions its isntalled to. [12:01] Dr_willis, it was fun to watch the error messages scroll by...before the system collapsed [12:01] orgthingy: you just had 10 different people tell you to format the partition ubuntu is on and install debian on them [12:01] orgthingy, use hammer [12:01] k k k [12:01] xD [12:01] Caf-Fiend: go to medibuntu.org and activate medibuntu repository.

[12:07] Shervin: you can just run the "verify the integrity of the cd" option instead of "install ubuntu" when you boot the cd [12:07] guys: in hardy, do you see your usb devices in /proc/bus/usb/devices ? [12:07] anirudh0: the ops [12:07] anirudh0: regular users like you and me I think [12:07] robg_, but it's my video drivers that aren't working? [12:07] anirudh0: anyone that wants to can suggest them [12:07] jirb: When i boot the cd it comes up with a screen asking for language, and then it boots up to ubuntu [12:07] Slart, no..i thought ops as well [12:07] Hi all. Just a quick question. Don't know where the prob lies. When I'm surfing, I'm lucky if I get speeds of 2Kb/s. But if I surf in my virtualisation ubuntu, surfing is nice and fast. Any thoughts? TIA [12:07] anirudh0: ah.. correct [12:07] Shervin: no, there is a menu after the language. Check [12:08] Caf-Fiend: try the medibuntu stuff and if you cannot get it to work then your system could be broken. [12:08] FoxII, is that with firefox or all browsers? [12:08] jrib: what does the menu have, because it doesnt come up fo rme [12:08] how to safely remove my pendrive? [12:08] Shervin: you probably just missed it. It has the two options I said and a couple more [12:08] robg_: i know my system is broken, it fails to load the gl drivers [12:08] FoxII, whats your network card also. Ive heard of some issues with specific chipset cards.

[12:09] but where to rightclick [12:09] Caf-Fiend: wat about a re-install ? [12:09] robg_: i'm considering it [12:09] anirudh0, Its with all browsers. Dr_willis, I'm using usbadslmodemmanager. [12:09] kibibyte: on the icon on your desktop or in the Places sidebar in the file browser [12:09] Caf-Fiend: only takes 1 to 2 hours.

You know I plugged a mini-vga to s-video into my ibook g4 and it put a picture on the screen instantly! I wish Ubuntu bloody well did that! [12:10] jrib: the thing is i can't use my keyboard at the beginning of the boot up [12:10] Caf-Fiend: cannot you write your data to CDs ? [12:10] Ron: ask your question.. I dont think I've seen it [12:10] FoxII, thats somthing ive never touched.. My 'Yukon' chipset network card - had some bugs in the drivers that really made it slow.. Not sure if that could be the issue in your case or not. [12:10] does any one know room for C programmer please? [12:10] Shervin, can use keyboard in the bios, but not in grub? [12:10] ounie: ##c [12:10] ounie: ##c [12:10] dr_willis: yes. [12:10] robg_: lots of cds [12:10] thanks anyway :) [12:11] Shervin, try enabling 'legacy usb support' in the bios.. I got a machine with the identical issue.. i had to use a ps2 keyboard for it. [12:11] Caf-Fiend: I have little cabinets with 50 CDs in each [12:11] Dr_willis, Well I will be moving soon and will need to use a wireless card so maybe I'll just wait for that. Any suggestions on a nice supported wireless card for k/ubuntu? [12:11] Shervin, if i enabled legacy usb - then the thing wouldent boot Windows OR linux right. :( [12:11] slart - dhcp is not assigning an address. i have tried EVERYTHING, i dont think it is a hardware issue because i just went out and purchased a new ethernet adapter and even tried it hardwired straight to the modem without the switch [12:11] FoxII, i dont use wireless. :) [12:12] FoxII, im not sure such a thing exists for windows OR linux. :P [12:12] dr_willis: Where can i find this legacy usb support [12:12] Dr_willis, okay. I will have a hunt through the forums. Thanks for the help though :) [12:12] Shervin, check out the bios settings menus.. [12:12] ok [12:12] ron checked the logs? [12:12] i'l tyr that out [12:12] Slart-got disconnected [12:12] Ron: you mean your computer isn't getting an ip-address from your ISP ? or you mean your home server isn't giving out ip-numbers properly?

You may have to reneable it. :) [12:12] Visual Effect give me an error when I try and enable it, Are they not compatible with the Powerbook G4? or is something not installed right [12:12] robg_: yeah but burning many cds is horribly tedious [12:12] slart - i am a noob - i am not sure which one === cO_gEe_sTrEzZZ is now known as cw_BaIx [12:13] hyyyyy [12:13] ron: ok.. let's go with number one then =) [12:13] slart - ifconfig shows everything except an ip [12:13] Caf-Fiend: we must plan for future failures and future re-installs.

[13:37] taras: if it can be done then Medibuntu.org can do it. [13:37] hello [13:38] how come that ubuntu 8.04 dont have supported NFS ? [13:38] Isador: ubuntu, and this nearly whole support channel does not use root for anything. Infact, ubuntu is built to not use root. If you want to use root on a daily basis, I suggest a different distro. [13:38] ok, but my xorg.conf file doesnt even have resolutions in it [13:38] dejx: I can boot my nfs. [13:38] i cant:S [13:38] dejx: Wait, I mean mount. :P [13:38] isador, if someone finds your session open on the physical terminal by mistake, they can do the same thing... [13:38] root@archi:/# mount gir:/shared /shared -t nfs [13:38] mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on gir:/shared, [13:38] Isador: if you want to run everything as root, I don't think ubuntu is the distro for you.. try one of the others [13:38] Hello, how do I mount a usb drive and another hard drive (which is ntfs) in ubuntu server? [13:38] Starnestommy: any ideas which? I don't use much apart from 'find' [13:38] thhp: find doesn't use slocate [13:38] dejx: That happened to me, it means you hard shutdown last time, and nfs locked the drive. [13:39] so what now? [13:39] what's the difference ubuntu or other distro, I usually do this to run KDE as root in ubuntu - '/etc/init.d/kdm stop;sudo startx' [13:39] Isador: regardless of the distro, don't run kde as root... [13:39] dejx: Boot into your other partition, shutdown normally. and it should work. [13:39] Isador: If you really want to be able to log in as 'root' or be able to do 'su' try this: `sudo passwd root` [13:39] lol@isador :P [13:39] and I just wanted to start KDE by default [13:39] !sudo > Isador (read the private message from ubottu) [13:40] Starnestommy: OK, so it should be OK for me to drop the slocate updating cronjobs. Thanks! [13:40] lol [13:40] Isador: at the login screen, click on options and choose kde [13:40] I know what sudo is [13:40] Isador: use that instead of logging in as root [13:40] jrib: that's tiring [13:40] trident523 i dont quite understand [13:41] isador has window-itis [13:41] Guys, if somebody wants to login as root, isn't it their own choice, if they are fully aware that root deflowers you soul? [13:41] Gr3yW0lf: what's that? [13:41] Isador: you're doing something wrong if it is. What exactly do you need to do as root so much? [13:41] Ienorand: it's just four extra letters [13:41] er, wrong nick... [13:41] jrib: experiments, I am learning linux [13:41] What i need to install to can read cirylic ? [13:42] jrib: a lot of them, typing sudo each time is tiring [13:42] Isador: so use 'sudo -i' if you need a root prompt [13:42] starnestommy: Package libpango0-dev is not available, but is referred to by another package. [13:42] This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or [13:42] is only available from another source [13:42] However the following packages replace it: [13:42] libpango1.0-doc [13:42] E: Package libpango0-dev has no installation candidate [13:42] tyler: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

Stop being silly though, there's really no need to login to X as root. Use 'sudo -i' if you need to do a bunch of stuff as root and don't want to type "sudo" all the time [13:45] mSq: you might need xfonts-cyrillic [13:45] starnestommy: : Couldn't find package libpanelapplet-2.0 [13:45] tyler@Intel:~/Desktop/music-applet-2.3.1$ [13:46] tyler: you might need libpanelappletmm-2.6-dev [13:46] Starnestommy how [13:46] mSq: sudo apt-get install xfonts-cyrillic [13:47] starnestommy: well basically what im trying to do is to get amarak plugin to work with the music applet for the gnome bar...i dont see it as a choice for plugins...im hoping this new version im compling has it [13:47] tyler: it might be libpanel-applet2-dev [13:48] Starnestommy i install xfonts-cyrillic but still can't read [13:48] hey, can anyone please tell me where the config file that contains what is the current desktop background image is? [13:49] mSq: you might need to restart the x server with ctrl+alt+backspace [13:49] guys, does anyone know a convenient way to run lmms with pulseaudio? - lmms' alsa doesn't really work with pulse :( === Nostie is now known as Nost_esta_COMIEN === Nost_esta_COMIEN is now known as NOST_COMIENDO [13:50] anyone here use amarak with the gnome music applet? [13:50] carrie: try looking in ~/.themes (a hidden directory, to view it in the GUI open places, home, and set view to hidden) [13:50] hey [13:50] !bug [13:50] 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 [13:51] I got a grey box with an arrow instead of flash applications in Firefox. Is there a way to fix this? [13:52] emma: Thanks, but .themes is empty [13:52] When I click the box the flash app is showing, however, I want it to show from the start [13:52] xintron: sounds like flashblock to me.. it's a plugin, click on the arrow [13:52] carrie: Actually I don't think that the actual wallpaper (if that's what you mean by background) is in ~/.themes . I think that might be any image located in any directory on your system. [13:52] xintron: disable flashblock then [13:52] I'm trying to watch a DVD with a dolby digital soundtrack, how can I pass this through the spdif? Currently all I'm getting is a PCM version (even when I select AC3 pass through in the player) [13:52] Yeah, i mean wallpaper [13:52] xintron: maybe because you're using gnash/swfdec try installing flashplugin-nonfree [13:52] I mean the config file that sets the wallpaper [13:53] hello all [13:53] carrie: wallpapers in ubuntu is indeed a problem. I downloaded photos from the web and added them to ubuntu. [13:53] Slart: I didn't have flashblock [13:53] The network manager will not shut down correctly, how can I solve this problem? [13:53] xintron: adblock plus? [13:53] /msg ubottu etiquette [13:54] carrie: have you tried System>Preferences>Appearances>Background tab? [13:54] Slart: nope [13:54] emma: Need to do it via a config file, im accessing my computer over ssh [13:54] how do i make xchat display the nicklist on the right again... this is a fresh install from 8.04 [13:54] xintron: the grey box is coming from nspluginwrapper (at least i believe so) - try removing gnash/swfdec and installing flashplugin-nonfree [13:54] okay let me look into this a bit more. [13:54] flyc0r: ok [13:54] carrie: you can import photos into the file system and then transfer them into backgrounds. [13:55] What is the command similar to aux in some distros?

[14:05] hey, this xchat is pretty cool. what font do ya'll like to use? [14:05] Isador: Kay. Don't complain if things go screwy. [14:05] CroX: change the mount point to something other than /media [14:05] hey in xchat how do u get rid of the xxxx has entered or left the room [14:05] Is it possible for me to install xfce just to see what it's like, and later switch to gnome [14:05] without anything going wrong? :p [14:05] danbhfive: Surely there must be another way? [14:06] koheleth: have you been to medibuntu.org and installed Pulse Audio ? [14:06] rym: Yep. Install xubuntu-desktop. [14:06] CroX: why should there be another way? [14:06] carrie: you are very welcome! I'm really glad it worked! [14:06] rym: At login, you can change your session to xfice. [14:06] and when im done withit apt-get remove xubuntu-desktop? [14:06] okay [14:06] hey, i think it is a real problem that nautilus hides files ending on ~ [14:06] starnestommy: u there [14:06] jrib could I pm you briefly for a moment? [14:06] robg_, no will take a look thanks [14:06] emma: sure [14:07] koheleth: go to medibuntu.org and follow instructions to activate medibuntu Repository in your system. [14:07] how do I install things that use makefiles and such? [14:07] is there a way to filter out the messages like 'so and so has joined #ubuntu" in xchat? [14:07] where is the dmesg info stored? [14:07] trident523: repeat: 1. no internet connection 2. computer totally backed up. Why don't you write that down and read many times over ? =)) [14:08] big-g, right click channel name and uncheck show joins/parts === wold is now known as sporting [14:08] can i get it from a pc which is kernel panicing? [14:08] danbhfive: Because 1) It feels stupid to be forced to have anything in /media displayed on the Desktop, especially since it defaults to that mount point and 2) because only one dir in /media is shown on the desktop. [14:08] Isador: I don't care, honestly. If things go screwy, it's your own fault. [14:09] I have a problem with xfce. when I run programs with root permissions they don't use the gtk2 theme that I chose but instead the default one [14:09] trident523: [14:09] lol@ya [14:09] trident523: define: "things go screwy" [14:10] danbhfive: It's just inconsistent with Gnome's other behaviour, which otherwise is pretty MVC compliant. [14:11] Isador: Deleting a folder accidentally. Installing a bad program from the CD. I don't know, overwriting your xorg file, your xorg backup. Other stuff. [14:11] CroX: well, its my understanding thats the standard, drives mounted in /media show up on the desktop. I think its a good default. All other OS's have that kind of default. I don't think I fully grasp your problem [14:11] Isador: I hardly ever use root powers though. [14:11] trident523: do you know what "system is totally backed up" means? [14:11] anybody here know where to obtain SIS672 3D DISPLAY DRIVER? [14:12] trident523: well obviously it means ANY folder that gets deleted can be restored... [14:12] i cant get 3d acceleration on my gutsy 7.10 [14:12] robg_, seems I have it installed already [14:12] Isador: Nothing to me, because all of my backup attempts fail. [14:12] anybody here know where to obtain SIS672 3D DISPLAY DRIVER?

[14:14] trident523: I'm just gonna play with it a lot (to learn), and when I get to REALLY using it I won't login as root obviously. By the way it is a virtual machine ;) What I just don't understand is why people force me NOT to be root [14:14] okay I'm new to Ubuntu and could use a little help [14:14] danbhfive: Yeah, you might very well be right. It just doesn't feel very user friendly to force that behavior without a setting to toggle it on and off. My file system is one thing, how Gnome presents various data is another. [14:14] Isador: noone forcing you.. we just don't want to help you.. big difference there [14:14] koheleth: de medibunti osftware is not included in standard ubuntu isos. You must get it yourself.

Help?!?! [14:17] all i want is a darn amarak thing to control music as an applet cany anyone help me with this?

[14:18] tyler: so just run "sudo make install" instead and all will be fine [14:18] i was able to install music applet from the respitories but it was an old version and i couldnt find an amarak plugin [14:19] ok [14:19] !ics | BlackRece [14:19] BlackRece: If you want to share the internet connection of your ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php [14:19] c3mble: the best stuff is in medibuntu.org.

My sound works fine now, but "sudo modprobe ath_pci" doesn't work anymore and I don't have wireless. I need to get both wirel [15:34] ess and audio working.

Just want to clarify. [15:42] eTranquility its written that installing such module may disable sound, it didnt for me, but just resinstall sound after and you'll be fine [15:42] D4s0tt0c4t: iwlist just lists all networks with their info.

I have a disk that I want to automount if it is there. I added it to fstab, but now when it is not there, the machine goes to maintainence mode (ctrl+d to continue), which I would like to avoid.

It is on a different computer. I added a disk to fstab that I want to automount it on boot, but I get maintainence mode if it is not connected now. [15:53] when im using audacious, nothing else that uses sound will work unless i stop the mp3 thats playing, even pausing the mp3 isn't enough... is there a way to fix that? [15:53] jope: Sure. Linux is not windows so if your really want to get everything to work you might need to spend some time learning how things work. [15:53] eTranquility-> you noticed the net directory? your pasting earlier somehow missed the kernel/ path..so is it a mistype when you pasted the error or was it really like you typed? [15:53] Sarah: make audacious use pulseaudio or esd as soud output ?? [15:53] That was well offtopic :S [15:54] amenado: Since the computer is not easily accessable for me, that is not very handy.

I want to avoid the x86_64 if I can due to bad experiences with other distros. [15:55] jope: Have you tryed to search in ubuntu forums? [15:55] I wonder if ipv6 is killing it [15:55] Ko_deZ-> any other info you left out? we are guessing as to what you have, so we will only give you bad advice if you dont give complete info [15:56] epax: yes, i really have been on this for more than 24 hours [15:56] amenado: No jumpers The computer boots and everything is fine. I just added a /dev/sdb1 in fstab. This works fine if the usb disk is connected, but if i disconnect it during boot, i get maintainence mode (must press ctrl+d) [15:56] amenado, I'm looking into it... I think I copied everything correctly but I'll double check. [15:56] darkstorm^-> i cant remember the exact syntax myself, please google [15:56] jope: Did you type modprobe yourcardname?

[16:01] epax: no such file or directory [16:02] crdlb: Yes, I am using GNOME. -- I will follow to visual effects. [16:02] eTranquility-> make sure your path is correct for the modules to be loaded correctly, it seems to be looking at the wrong spot [16:02] jope: Then try "sudo modprobe yourcard" [16:02] is the software that can convert an itunes m4p to mp3 [16:02] jope: As i can see you have to run that command as root. [16:03] amenado, Okay, but this command worked fine before I reinstalled the sound module. What should I be typing instead? [16:03] Ko_deZ-> not sure why you have to have that entry in at boot time? usb are designed to be detected when plugged in [16:03] eTranquility-> what command you used? [16:03] epax: ok im a bit lost now, im not sure what you mean [16:03] jope: I dont know how you have installed the drivers but you should use sudo in every command [16:04] yeah i diid use sudo [16:04] amenado, sudo modprobe ath_pci [16:04] Is there a tool for defragmenting NTFS partitions availible, or at least analyzing them for fragmentation?

[17:00] robg_: not sure where you're getting these ideas ;) [17:00] soundray: can you tell me what to type if the stick is on /dev/sde1 [17:00] quantum: how should I know what Vista has done to your device? ;) [17:00] astro76: my desktop configuration is already being online supported for 100% [17:00] http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Hardy#Install_a_LAMP_server_on_a_Desktop robg [17:00] Hmm... I appear to have found a bug in hardy. It'll copy directories recursively into itself. [17:00] soundray: well your right sorry! [17:00] eTranquility-> it seems in the right place, perhaps somebody else here can suggest how to teach modprobe to look for your ath_pci.ko at those directories [17:00] quantum: the stick isn't on /dev/sde1. That's a partition device name. [17:00] chris_wow: you can try to ask for help in #winehq , sometimer they can help you [17:01] howdy folks, if i have a desktop session and a vnc session going at the same time how can i make my gnome-terminal go where i want it to when i start it? [17:01] robg_, we were not referring to the possibility of getting support, just the simple fact that you can install apache in your desktop Ubuntu if you want. [17:01] Lattyware: pastebin an example [17:01] soundray: how can i find out where it is? [17:01] quantum: the stick as such could be on /dev/sde [17:01] as far as I can tell DISPLAY is set appropriatelly, but it is still not showing up [17:01] soundray: okay [17:01] hi, i just did an apt-get install xubuntu-desktop on a minimal install and i restarted and gdm let me login but the desktop just pops up a terminal and there are no menus or panels or title bar for the terminal [17:01] soundray: so what do i have to type? [17:01] vocx: you can always do what you want but if you want others to support your device then you will have to maintain some standardisation. [17:02] soundray: "mount" says that the file-system of the stick is "vfat" [17:02] quantum: I won't read the documentation out to you. Your unwillingness to read was probably the problem you encountered with testdisk. [17:02] boxy: do you have a window manager installed? [17:02] can someone remember how to tell modprobe to look for certain modules? was it $LD_LIBRARY_PATH? [17:02] jrib: Pastebin? It's a pretty simple concept. If I have a folder with files in, and another folder, and a select that entire folder, and copy and paste into the folder inside it, it'll find the new folder you are copying, and recursively copy and paste itself until it runs out of space/memory. [17:02] BlackDragonBE no? i just did a minimal install last night then today went to terminal and did apt-get install xubuntu-desktop so im nto sure [17:02] darn ubuntu seems to change its way of things.. [17:02] amenado: afaik modprobe will look only in /lib/modules/`uname -r` [17:02] amenado, which module is not being found? [17:02] soundray: okay i'll read it sry! do you think it will be a problem that the stick's fs is "vfat"? because this fs is not listet in gpart doc!? [17:03] Lattyware: yeah I actually ran into that yesterday, meaning to look into a bug report [17:03] amenado, Do you have any idea what could have gone wrong when I reinstalled the sound module? [17:03] Im trying to assist eTranquility and his modprobe of ath_pci.ko looks at the wrong path [17:03] axisys, any idea? [17:03] Lattyware: use actual name a, b, c. Your description is confusing [17:03] quantum: vfat is the filesystem driver that Linux uses to mount FAT16 and FAT32 filesystems. [17:03] soundray: do you think it will be a problem that the stick's fs is "vfat"? because this fs is not listet in gpart doc!? [17:04] boxy: what happens when you try xfce --replace [17:04] erUSUL-> i expected it too, but somehow eTranquility effort to use modprobe points him to the wrong directory [17:04] astro76: Yeah, I wondered why my source code folder was suddenly like 1GB in size and going. Then my memory started being eaten. [17:04] amenado, maybe do a "sudo depmod -a" that will rebuild the modules database or something then try modprobe again. [17:04] soundray: ah okay thank you so much! [17:04] hellow guys [17:04] jrib: Folder X inside Folder Y, you copy folder Y into folder X, and it recurses. [17:04] "xfce command not found" [17:04] jrib: you can paste directory a into directory a, which will start a forever deep recursive copy [17:04] having trouble with ubuntu 8.04 and wireless card can any one help me ? [17:04] eTranquility-> you saw that from vocx? sudo depmod -a i only gave you depmod earlier.. [17:05] amenado, So... do I just type sudo depmod -a? [17:05] boxy, and "xfwm4"? [17:05] eTranquility-> try, it would not hurt you [17:06] live: that solved the graphics problem, but now the game is jumpy [17:06] we making progress [17:06] says something about cannot open the display [17:06] eTranquility-> then after sudo modprobe ath_pci once more [17:06] What game are you guys working on? [17:06] anybody know how to upgrade Firefox 3 [17:06] wow [17:06] amenado, Still no luck. Same error, different path. "FATAL: Error inserting ath_pci (/lib/modules/2.6.24-16-386/ubuntu/wireless/ath_pci.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)" [17:07] hi [17:07] Is it possible to run? [17:07] try "xfwm4 --replace" [17:07] eTranquility: and what does "dmesg" says ?? [17:07] does anybody know how to schedule thunderbird to start at system startup on ubuntu? [17:07] amenado: i disabled roaming for wireless.. now how do I switch to wireless? [17:07] [17:07] How can i reconfigure my display's resolution without manually editing xorg.conf? (displayconfig-gtk doesn't have all the resolution modes)? [17:08] chris_wow: what do you mean with "jumpy"? high fps? [17:08] hey. I have an old AGFA StudioScan II SCSI scanner, supposedly supported by the microtek driver for sane [17:08] i'm running it, just trying to get to not so choppy running.. it's really really jurky atm [17:08] though I can't find this driver in ubuntu [17:08] how do I schedule thunderbird to start at system startup on ubuntu? [17:08] oh okay cool [17:08] eTranquility-> now thats a different error, thats like the module was compiled on a different kernel than what you got [17:08] !startup | bigjoe4 [17:08] bigjoe4: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab.

[17:08] anybody know how to upgrade firefox 3 beta 5 to firefox 3 rc1 in hardy? ... sorry for double post i accidentally hit enter before i finished typing [17:09] !shutdown [17:09] Factoid shutdown not found [17:09] Glightning: Check the wine AppDB [17:09] OK [17:09] axisys-> you are still using wireless, just not the roaming mode of it..ie it dont auto switch to a stronger signal ap it can latch on [17:09] KRaZy_WaKa: I'd wait for the package to hit the repos [17:09] Ah, does anybody know how to add script on shutdown? [17:09] live: the fps is 7 [17:09] latty, i have everything installed, but it freezes on loading [17:10] kwan: you should tell me more,like ... which gpu you have? [17:10] astro76: how long does that usually take? [17:10] Glightning: Sorry, I don't know too much in specifics. [17:10] amenado, Woah, I get a lot of stuff. I can't even copy all of it because there's so much. [17:10] chris_wow: have you tried to change in-game settings, like lower draw distances? [17:10] Lattyware: astro76: jrib: I tested copy and paste folder a into folder a. It does a recursive copy, but it errs out, doesn't do a 'forever' deep [17:10] lower draw distances? [17:10] hmuller: yeah that way does error out, some ways keep going [17:11] eTranquility-> lots of what? wireless AP in your hood? [17:11] is it possible to save pictures in an .odt file?

[17:15] so i'll wait thanx again astro [17:15] robg_: ok, the dice symbols didn't show [17:15] (well at least three or four) [17:15] delta9thc1, its not a gpu problem i'm experiencing. My system was running perfectly until I messed with the refresh rate (from 50Hz->51Hz) in displayconfig-gtk then on the next reboot, the X Server (or X display manager *I know they're different things, I just want to make a loose reference) incorrectly detects my lcd's resolution as 640x480. [17:15] soundray, thank you. [17:16] hi guys, has someone an idea how to define a custom panel-menu icon in Ubuntu? i looked in the gconf-editor, but i didnt find an field like "/home/username/Panel-Menu-Icon.png" : / I had uploaded a screenshot ( http://dan1el.da.funpic.de/screenshot.png ) for those who dont know what i mean [17:16] astro76: it says it's using system terminal font [17:16] eTranquility-> i dont know what that is, which command generated that? [17:17] hi, i installed one package "kismet" but after checking the installed files and the package, many files that were supposed to be there, arent. An example is the whole /etc/kismet/ configuration folder. What Can i do? [17:17] kwan: do you have nvidia or ati? [17:17] anybody know how to change the default download directiry in hardy? [17:17] hola [17:17] delta9thc1, nvidia [17:17] hi [17:17] españ [17:17] españa [17:17] romulo: try reinstalling it! [17:17] how do I stop ubuntu from bringing up annoying messages asking for password? [17:17] in gutsy you could change it from the downloads window and i'm not seeing the option in hardy just a search bar [17:17] Just wondering, could this be a Ubuntu problem or plainly perl issue, while running a cpan install: Can't call method "value" on an undefined value at /usr/share/perl5/IO/Uncompress/RawInflate.pm line 64. [17:17] Is there a way to remove the icon of an auto mounted HDD from the desktop?

[17:18] chris_wow: are you using any desktop effects? [17:18] any idea if there is an xchat-gnome irc channel? [17:18] <[j0hn]> and if i want to burn something with k3b it doesn't show my cd device [17:18] xTheGoat121x restart your computer [17:18] romulo: sry i dont know what else to do! [17:18] Umm, looks like something in here, somewhere, but I could be wrong: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=482247 [17:18] Debian bug 482247 in libmodule-build-perl "libmodule-build-perl: FTBFS: Failed 1/26 test scripts. 10/852" [Serious,Open] [17:18] how do I stop ubuntu from asking for password all the time whenever I try to do anything?? [17:18] jOhn: CD-ROM is controlled from the BIOS [17:18] AcornAcorn: try changing the font, there is an #xchat but they *do not* like xchat-gnome [17:18] delta9thc1, I was running happily at 1920x1200 (50Hz) before. its when i changed the refresh rate from 50Hz to 51Hz that caused everything to break [17:19] hi guys, has someone an idea how to define a custom panel-menu icon in Ubuntu? i looked in the gconf-editor, but i didnt find an field like "/home/username/Panel-Menu-Icon.png" : / I had uploaded a screenshot ( http://dan1el.da.funpic.de/screenshot.png ) for those who dont know what i mean [17:19] chris_wow: did you use the cds or the download from the wow website? [17:19] bigjoe4: what are you doing so often that requires a password? [17:19] AcornAcorn: another reason many would recommend xchat regular ;) [17:19] <[j0hn]> robg: so, what should i do? :S [17:19] j0hn: first find out what device it is in /dev/ then type "sudo mount /dev/xxx /media/cdrom" [17:19] bigjoe4: it's not recommended that you do that, to the best of my knowledge. You can just use sudo and it will only ask for your password once, and you won't need it again for a period of time afterword. [17:19] KRaZy_WaKa, that'll get rid of it permanently? Even though it'll mount every time I start the computer? [17:19] astro76: maybe i just need to learn to customise xchat.. it just seemed so cluttered and difficult to read [17:19] jOhn: you don't have to mount your CD-ROM. It is hardwired to start from the BIOS. [17:20] yeah but I don't want to ever have to type a password [17:20] erUSUL, http://paste.ubuntu.com/14558/ [17:20] it slows me down [17:20] xTheGoat121x: i have to click on mine to mount it and when i restart it is no longer mounted i have to click it every time i restart [17:20] Has nobody an idea for me? : / [17:20] <[j0hn]> quantum: i have /dev/cdrom1 and /dev/scd0 [17:20] bigjoe4: start a root shell with sudo -i ? [17:20] I ahve no ides waht that means [17:21] KRaZy_WaKa, ah, ok... I don't have to click on mine. [17:21] xTheGoat121x: if yours automounts on every boot/reboot you may have to disable automount and i'm not positive how to do that sorry [17:21] astro76: gah, back to xchat I go [17:21] kwan: understood, however type that command [17:21] bigjoe4: oye... you generally are not configuring the system, so not sure how sudo password is going to slow you down, but sudo -i will open a root shell where you can enter commands as root without sudo [17:22] delta9thc1, How come dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg no longer lets me set the resolution modes? I'm 100% it had it Prior to Hardy [17:22] KRaZy_WaKa, I set it up to automount, I wanted that... I just don't want it on my desktop [17:22] hi guys, has someone an idea how to define a custom panel-menu icon in Ubuntu? i looked in the gconf-editor, but i didnt find an field like "/home/username/Panel-Menu-Icon.png" : / I had uploaded a screenshot ( http://dan1el.da.funpic.de/screenshot.png ) for those who dont know what i mean [17:22] xTheGoat121x: check the ubuntu forums... search automounting volumes, it should also tell you how to disable automounting [17:22] I know, I will see if it lets me change password to "" [17:22] bigjoe4: did you see my question? [17:23] the I can just press enter 8-) [17:23] delta9thc1, nvidia-glx-new & nvidia-kernel-common installed [17:23] zTriker: i have a friend that has some of those snakes [17:23] oh [17:23] just editing settings and stuff [17:23] jwormy: ;) [17:24] xTheGoat121x: ok i see what you are saying now just don't want the icon on desktop, not sure sorry [17:24] zTriker: green tree boa right?

[17:30] <|Dreams|> been a long dayyy [17:30] |Dreams|: not the important part ;) [17:31] Is it possible to tell Ubuntu (8.04) to check all the hardware and download and install the best drivers? I had a working installation and managed to break it (Possibly when installing VirtualBox) and now it won find the wireless network card and other hardware. [17:31] soundray: sry i mean "photorec" ... thx anyway ;-) [17:31] kwan: sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia-glx-new nvidia-settings && sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new nvidia-settings [17:31] njalar: in the course of installing virtualbox, did you change the kernel? [17:31] hello everybody [17:31] njalar, VirtualBox is pretty straightforward, I wonder what else you did [17:31] After Gutsy dist-upgrading to Hardy my Gnome programs are in English although '~$ locale' returns LANG=de_DE.UTF8. How can I change that? [17:32] delta9thc1, its NOT an nvidia drivers issue. I just fixed it, I used the rollback method. But u know what's really really really bothering me? Prior to Hardy, I remember 100% that when I dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, it lets you set the supported screen (MONITOR/LCD) resolution (which involved checking/unchecking "X" beside each mode). Now it doesn't have it [17:32] I don't thnk so. [17:32] exco: yeah, I know... I tried for ages to get my triple screen setup to go, with no avail; dual proved easy though, but thatś on nvidia; ATI is easy too, but other cards need xorg.conf tweaking, wich can be troublesome to say the least; however, it can be done for sure, just do the hours of study, make backups of original conf files in case of failure and it should be an attainable goal; and once itś working you're never gonaa wanna go [17:32] back to one screen [17:32] bullgard4: is System-Administration-Language Support set to German? [17:32] does anybody knows how I can have equalizers working on exaile on ubuntu hardy?? [17:32] ok thx :D [17:33] njalar: what's the output from 'uname -a'? [17:33] I installed some extra packages with Synaptic. [17:33] njalar: At least to some extent it does this by default. It automatically found proprietary drivers for my ATi card for example. Try going to System>Administration>Hardware Drivers to see if anything can be enabled. [17:33] Dreams: ty [17:33] what's the best video editing software available for linux ? [17:33] Linux neofobulator 2.6.24-16-386 #1 Thu Apr 10 12:50:06 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux [17:34] !best > babo [17:34] exco: Whooo, wait, you have got ATI ! Then it should really be as easy as apple pie; in nvidia I installed nvidia settings, where you can just configure it in gui, ati has the smae thing, different name, Iĺl look it up, just a second [17:34] emma: That gives me an empty list. [17:34] does anybody knows how I can have equalizers working on exaile on ubuntu hardy?? [17:34] Rioting_pacifist, there is one little issue though, that current azureus 3.0.x.x uses some newer version of the SWT graphical libraries, so it spits errors sometimes, but hasn't affected me. However I haven't tried vuze, so I don't know if it'll work fine. [17:34] njalar: reboot and look in your grub menu (you may have to hit Esc to see it) whether there is an entry for a generic kernel. Boot that, and see if your wireless network comes back to life. [17:35] soundray: Ok. Will try. [17:35] how to exaile under hardy?

[17:36] babo, http://www.openmovieeditor.org/ [17:36] I updated flash to the beta 10 to see if it crashed less often then 9, now my flashbased screenlets don't work. I'm assuming that its looking in the wrong spot how do I find where it looks for flash? [17:36] bullgard4: the menu on the left in the top panel, does that contain "System"?

[17:36] AaronH: thanks [17:36] hey does anyone know a trusty site online to do a firewall test?? [17:36] soundray: yes. [17:36] babo: install ubuntustudio-video, a selection someone has made to edit video [17:36] exco, ok, it'ss called MergeFB , thatś the mode you need, with the open source ati driver it can be done; now lemme look up some more stuff [17:36] how do i scan [17:36] kwan: you should find many files like xorg.org_1 xorg.conf_2 etc... [17:37] babo: indeed, I don't mean to be. But maybe especially with video editing, the answer to what is best depends a great deal on what you want to accomplish. The highest end stuff will not be comfortable for every day use, and the simplest stuff will not be sufficient for some users. [17:37] kyncani, what video editing software does it bring with it ? Can i import youtube movies into it ? [17:37] Deepthought: well, at the moment I'm using the latest fglrx drivers, so I'm going for BigDesktop [17:37] bullgard4: can you click on that?

[17:38] babo: as for the packages it brings, your package manager (synaptic) can show you that [17:38] ok cheers [17:38] anyone know how to add mp3 functionality to k3b?

[17:41] hey, i have a problem with ubuntu, whenever I shit down or log or the system appears to crash, i have to press the power off button to shutdown.

In 7.10 I remember I had to Explicitly set the supported screen resolutions for my LCD for X to realize that my lcd supports 1920x1200. This time what happened was when I for no apparent reason changed refresh rate from 50Hz to 51Hz, then the next time I reboot, The only available resolution mode detected was 640x480 lolz. Now that I'm in Hardy, I try to dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [17:48] expect that I would manually enable the supported resolution, but its not there.

[18:07] :-( [18:07] was suggested by someone in #ubuntu-chat [18:07] Deepthought: that's what I'm doing... otherwise you wouldn't see me for at least 2 minutes :-) [18:07] peternix: there is 'knode' which uses kde libs. [18:07] !usb | makaraki see this please [18:07] makaraki see this please: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [18:07] babo, try avidemux. it does much better than kino in general [18:07] exco: I sort of figured.. either that, or your machine is amazingly fast... [18:07] I use gnome [18:08] well... I'm doing the reading and editing and restarting X and and and... (or I'm just slow) [18:08] ok bazhang, anirudh0 and ubottu thanks I will keep an eye on those docs! [18:08] peternix, cant evolution handle usenet? [18:08] anirudh0: nothing [18:08] !pm | ex17 [18:08] anirudh0: don't think so [18:08] ex17: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit AND help you. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude. [18:09] peternix, via a plugin? [18:09] ex17: why do you want an outdated kernel? [18:09] exco: why not try the aticonfig tool ? [18:09] anirudh0: don't know [18:09] do someone know, how I can install Adobe AIR under 64 Bit Hardy? [18:09] I've got sound but no picture with DVDs on Hardy. Anybody know how to fix it? [18:09] Broadcom, startx does nothing? no output at all? [18:09] chv , x64 not suported as i know [18:10] no way to force install it? [18:10] anirudh0: it does the same thing as before [18:10] chv , not build for x64 [18:10] akincer: have you downloaded the livdvdcss2 libraries? [18:10] exco, or sudo radeontool (already on the system, most probably) [18:10] pulse: Yes [18:10] chv: do you have .deb packages for i386? [18:10] Broadcom, you never told me _what_ it did before! [18:10] hmm [18:10] well I'm playing around with scapy, it's a network utility tool, you can send, receive packets and many other things, when I had gutsy, I could do eerything I wanted to [18:10] anirudh0: no, wait, it says screens found, but none have a useable configuration [18:10] Deepthought: now I have a 20.1" magnifier :-) [18:11] Broadcom, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [18:11] now that I have Hardy I can only sniff packets it seems, and [18:11] soundray: when the remote host has ubuntu 7.10 installed ... how can i use my just generated key? [18:11] soundray: no, only the .bin file [18:11] Broadcom, and select defaults [18:11] akincer: hehe sorry can't help beyond that...what program are you using to view DVDs? [18:11] pulse: Tried both Totem and Mplayer. Both have same problem [18:11] Splash screen manager is missing from kcontrol; how can i add it back to kcontrol? [18:11] so I though it could be something new, and since I don't have the time, I thought I might just go back to the previous version, soundray [18:11] anirudh0: i hit ok for everything [18:11] exco: yeah, I have had all these wonderful things happen when I was working on it too... ;-) [18:12] akincer: did you download the w32codecs or w64codecs packages? [18:12] anirudh0: still does not work [18:12] if i would have the deb I would know how to force install it [18:12] this will get your dvd sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh [18:12] playing [18:12] I downloaded whatever comes with the Ubuntu Restricted Extras [18:12] would you mind taking a quick look at my xorg.conf, Deepthought http://pastebin.com/d42c91186 [18:12] but its only the bin [18:12] redarrow_: copy id_rsa.pub to the remote machine. On the remote machine, do 'cat id_rsa.pub > ~/.ssh/authorized_keys' [18:12] Broadcom, reboot and try please..it should work [18:12] exco: never really got to figure out exactly how to fix all those mishaps; nvidia-settings was my rescue [18:12] AaronH, video4.mp4 failed to load ERROR: Video framerates other than 25 are not supported [18:12] This is not an image file [18:12] how do i mount an ftp volume locally [18:12] Broadcom: did you download: libdvdcss2 ? [18:12] hi [18:12] does the live cd need a hard disk to run? [18:12] Broadcom type this sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh [18:12] robg_: nope, i dont think so [18:12] Uhm, could someone remind me how to detach a screen? :P [18:12] robg_, that wont help here [18:12] bjwebb, no [18:12] AaronH, it'll only import videos with framerates of 25 ? that's a bit weird no ? [18:13] Nostahl: im restarting [18:13] Effex: ctrl+a, d [18:13] ahh, thanks :D [18:13] exco: I'm afraid I'm not really an expert on that, but paste it anhow on the ppaste-page, we'll see [18:13] anirudh0: what might be causing it to only give me a busybox shell then? [18:13] anyone knows how to get avant window manager working correctly on ubuntu hardy heron? [18:13] hi, when I try to boot linux using the xp ntldr all I get is the word grub on screen, why is it freezing? [18:13] !paste |exco [18:13] exco: 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) [18:13] Nostahl: I've tried that and I've got audio but no picture [18:13] so.. if adobe air doesn't run under Linux 64 Bit, someone knows a _good_ Linux Twitter client? [18:13] bazhang: I have indeed the impression that there are now differences between USA and Europe. [18:13] bjwebb, it should show an error before the busybox shell..what is it [18:13] ex17: have you installed python-scapy from the hardy repository? [18:13] crap! I forgot how I fixed that [18:13] because twhirl uses air [18:13] my sound is messed up, it works but the sound icon next to the date up top right is not working right, i have to jiggle the sound up and down in preffrences to get the sound to sound right, adn the icon slide bar doesnt effect the sound at all [18:13] anirudh0: ah, ill get the error [18:13] something about changing the Xv drivers to No-XV [18:13] Deepthought: ah, ok. (I just set it up to "work" for my internal screen, but it's not really done) http://pastebin.com/d42c91186 [18:14] robg_, his issues have zero to do with medibuntu. [18:14] are you using an accelerated driver, akincer? [18:14] !awn | tao_leaf [18:14] tao_leaf: Avant Window Navigator, is a dock-like navigation bar for the linux desktop that positions itself at the bottom of the screen.

Difficult to tell. [18:14] wow, indeed soundray, I haven't.. [18:14] anirudh0, xchat? [18:15] pulse: I had DVD working Gutsy, so I _know_ it can work [18:15] and why can't do a simple socket connection too? [18:15] astro76, and then? [18:15] ex17: that may fix your issues more easily. [18:15] anirudh0: uncheck show join/part messages or something to that effect [18:15] anirudh0, right click chan name [18:15] bazhang, xchat 2.8.4 [18:15] akincer: which player? [18:15] I go try =) [18:15] Mplayer and Totem both have sound but no picture [18:15] astro76, k...thanks [18:15] Nostahl: command not found [18:16] have you try to play the dvd with VLC? [18:16] Where would I put configuration files for configuring routes/ips/iptables when an interface comes up in /etc? [18:16] Broadcom, boot in recovery mode; we can then lower your res from there [18:16] akincer: do you have the medibuntu respositories installed? [18:16] chv: No, but unless I'm missing something, I shouldn't have to. I'll try that now. [18:16] pulse: Yes [18:16] how do i add folder to my ipod using rythmbox? sorry i'd ask somewhere else but i cant find a good spot and im in a hurry. [18:16] bazhang: im not sure how [18:17] Broadcom, get into grub menu [18:17] Broadcom, you mean no compiz, or no X? [18:17] anirudh0: i cant see anything exept text on black [18:17] exco: like I said, I'm not really well educated on that; but it seems to me there should be at least a second monitor section, and probably a second screen section as well, also an option xinerama=on; but that is about as far as I can see; xinerama I'm not so sure about since it's sort of implied already by bigdesktop, second screen section idem [18:17] Broadcom, then you have no X [18:17] VLC has sound but no video as well [18:17] Broadcom, deep trouble [18:17] ... [18:17] anirudh0: whoopie [18:17] exco: try those two tools; see what they come iup with and tweak that ?! [18:17] anirudh0: mp-bios gus: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC [18:17] akincer: how about the gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly? [18:17] Broadcom, startx gives what exactly? [18:17] anirudh0: and then "hda: driver not ready for command" [18:18] bjwebb, talking to me? [18:18] Not sure. Gonna check now [18:18] anirudh0: hold on [18:18] anirudh0: yeah, thats the error before the busybox shell [18:18] pulse: Yes [18:18] Hi, can someone help me? "sudo modprobe ath_pci" gives "FATAL: Error inserting ath_pci (/lib/modules/2.6.24-16-386/ubuntu/wireless/ath_pci.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)" after I installed kernal modules "sudo aptitude install linux-ubuntu-modules-`uname -r` linux-generic" [18:19] hmh [18:19] bjwebb, that means you sound driver is'nt getting loaded...atleast thats what it seems to me [18:19] akincer: hmm have you tried xine? maybe even installing the libraries required by it could work [18:19] is there any program for ubuntu that acts like a student guide for skoolwork help for ppl all over the world? [18:19] thanks, Deepthought. I'll try to find the modelines for both screens and do it right this time. two tools? [18:19] bjwebb, i'm not too familiar with sound card troubles...maybe someone else can help [18:19] pulse: I'll try that. But to say I'm disappointed with how difficult this is would be an understatement. [18:19] anirudh0: sound driver? is that all [18:19] akincer: xine-ui [18:19] akincer: yeah well...legal problems...DRM and all that [18:20] bjwebb, oops [18:20] anirudh0: why should sound card stop the whole system from working? [18:20] bjwebb, sorry [18:20] okay [18:20] pulse: It still shouldn't be hard to enter a few manual commands--legal issues or no [18:20] bjwebb, hda refers to the hard disk :) [18:20] exco, yeah: aticonfig and/or radeontool; the latter is probably already on your sys, try: sudo radeontool in a console [18:20] I am having a problem with checking that my AMD dual core is being power managed by the kernel [18:20] bjwebb, have gotten so used to sda, that i forgot [18:20] bjwebb, you have an IDE disk? [18:20] z0man: are you using gnome? [18:21] ya [18:21] akincer: I know what you mean and I sympathize with you [18:21] !edubuntu | s3a [18:21] s3a: Edubuntu is an Ubuntu derivative aimed at schools and educational institutions. For more info, see http://www.edubuntu.org [18:21] I found that for my cool n quiet to work [18:21] Deepthought: can I do that even with my non working xorg.conf? [18:21] I need to install either K7 or K8 [18:21] K7 is 32bit kernel [18:21] !enter | z0man [18:21] z0man: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [18:21] anirudh0: it has a hard disk, but i think its broke [18:21] and K8 is 64 [18:21] pulse: I love Ubuntu, but these sorts of issues need to be resolved yesterday for Ubuntu to make traction on the desktop [18:21] sorry [18:21] anirudh0: hence why I was asking if it would work without [18:21] AaronH, it sucks dude ... [18:21] bjwebb, then that could be the problem [18:21] bjwebb, try :) [18:21] astro76: but cant i just use the apps in edubuntu? and not have to install the OS? [18:21] anirudh0, cheers ... [18:21] is there any nice programs for slipstream ubuntu ? [18:22] I wish to make sure cool n quiet is enabled .....Yet I am scared about fiddling [18:22] anirudh0: so if I actually remove the disk, might that help? [18:22] s3a: yes, or edubuntu is actually not a derivative anymore, but just an add on you can install with sudo apt-get install edubuntu-desktop [18:22] Broadcom, what is happening; did you get into recovery mode? [18:22] z0man: have you installed any of those alternative kernels (k7, k8 etc.)? [18:22] bjwebb, it should...but i must warn that i have never tried it..or seen or heard anyone try it [18:22] s3a: but there package list would be a good place to start ;) [18:22] anirudh0: okies [18:22] I have this generic-linux one installed [18:22] s3a: *their [18:22] How very strange: "Xine extra plugins cannot be installed on your computer type (i386)" [18:22] bazhang: im not sure how to, hold on, i just to a screen shot and am giving it to anirudh0 [18:23] No I have not, I am struggling to find those [18:23] exco: Like I said, I did a lot of xorg-conf'ing, but really got the thing going properly with nvidia-settings; the tools I metioned are the equivalent to that; Should work, yes. it should make a new xorg.conf (if you choose to save in the end and not merge with original. Bets though to first put back ypour original conf (IF YOU BACKED IT UP, i HOPE SO) ELSE DO RECONFIGURE XSERVER FIRST (i DON'T KNOW THE EXACT COMMAND FOR THAT, GOOGLE OR [18:23] ASK HERE) [18:23] how do i hide a program's window and taskbar button? [18:23] z0man: good. Can you add the CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor applet to one of your panels [18:23] astro76: ill leave it tonight to download since im on dial-up [18:23] bjwebb, it cant do too much damage , cant think why your motherboard should care about your hard disk not being there [18:23] whooopps, sorry for capslock, folks ! [18:23] ok [18:23] bjwebb, its running off RAM anyway [18:23] anirudh0: there is far too much experimentation on this channel. We should be aiming for solid production machines not monsters of Frankenstein. [18:23] akincer: are you able to play movie files and whatnot? [18:23] astro76: i have edubuntu 7.10 but it has no live cd option [18:23] somebody knows a good Twitter Client running under Linux? [18:23] astro76: edubuntu 7.04* [18:23] hey guys, I just formatted and reinstalled, but saved the /var/apt/cache/archives directory. I copied the files back after install, but I can't seem to do "apt-get install X", it still trise to go to the Internet. I don't have Internet on the machine. [18:23] I get an error message [18:24] You will not be able to modify the frequency of your machine. Your machine may be misconfigured or not have hardware support for CPU frequency scaling. [18:24] bjwebb, these are guys who are _willing_ to experiment [18:24] bjwebb, sorry [18:24] robg, these are guys who are _willing_ to experiment [18:24] z0man: this is an Athlon X2, correct? [18:24] astro76: i have a question bout edubuntu tho...does it actually help like teach u stuff or does it just give u tools to do things wile looking childish? [18:24] Hi, how do I make restrict users from browsing certain xxx webpages in FireFox ? [18:24] robg_, as is clear from bjwebb's response to my warning :) [18:24] correct [18:25] But I installed 32bit ubuntu instead of 64bit [18:25] how do i run a program at a specified workspace? [18:25] To avoid alot of library hassles [18:25] s3a: there is a large amount of educational software, including gcompris for the youngsters [18:25] z0man: you should reboot your machine, enter the BIOS setup and ensure that Cool'n'Quiet isn't disabled there [18:25] z0man: I believe your choice was prudent. [18:25] anirudh0: bazhang: http://www.uploadgeek.com/uploads456/14/Picture 003.jpg [18:25] I believe it is enabled [18:25] I go check though [18:25] pulse: I think so, but I can check. Xine has no video either [18:25] anirudh0: lol, im experimenting :D [18:25] brb [18:25] astro76: im almost done highschool...is there anything of my level? [18:26] z0man: 32bit or 64bit don't make a difference -- the generic Ubuntu kernel supports C'n'Q on both [18:26] http://www.uploadgeek.com/uploads456/14/Picture003.jpg [18:26] s3a, a very vague question [18:26] no spaces.. [18:26] Broadcom, sorry...site not opening [18:26] pulse: a WMV file just had no video. Hmmmmmm [18:27] Something strange is going on [18:27] anirudh0: lol vague=uncertain? [18:27] anirudh0: http://www.uploadgeek.com/uploads456/14/Picture%20003.jpg [18:27] exco: I'm sorry I can't help ant further right now, have to really urgently go somewhere; will log in later (about two hours from now), see if you got any further, or succeeded by then. good luck ! [18:27] thanks again, Deepthought [18:27] s3a, yes...campus slang :) [18:27] I'm sure I'll get it done [18:27] exco: your very welcome ! [18:28] anirudh0: if that does not work: http://img2.freeimagehosting.net/image.php?948ff328da.jpg [18:28] Hi, how do I make restrict users from browsing certain xxx webpages in FireFox ? [18:28] bazhang, link opening for you? [18:28] anirudh0, nay [18:29] needhelp, search for a parental control extension on addons.firefox.com [18:29] During video playback, I get a little bit of stutter once in a while. How might I determine what causes this? It's definitely not the hardware, I have a powerful gaming machine. [18:29] Broadcom, sorry to still report failure...try imagevenue [18:29] is there any way to scan for dns servers [18:29] pulse: I think it boils down to video playback of all types except for youtube seems to be broken [18:30] babo, sorry it doesn't work for you. I've never used it before, but it looked like a pretty good program. Maybe some on in #openmovieeditor can answer your questions about the program. [18:30] akincer: xine has the same problem you say? [18:30] Broadcom, what about installing pastebinit; the cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | pastebinit [18:31] AaronH, k thanks. there's a problem with bframe referencing or something like that. it does look good though ... [18:31] hallo [18:31] hi, when I try to boot linux using the xp ntldr all I get is the word grub on screen, can someone help me figure out why it's freezing? [18:31] I am back....My Cool n quiet was disabled [18:31] It is enabled [18:31] babo, nm about #openmovieeditor [18:31] soundray: I installed a new user account on my Hardy computer. All GNOME programs and identifiers are in German with no problems. [18:31] akincer, still have the problem? [18:31] no one in there [18:32] jemand da [18:32] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:GRUB_screenshot.png Broadcom get into grub menu and choose recovery mode [18:32] woa.....That applet is working now [18:32] bastard: for german support join #ubuntu-de [18:32] !de | bastard [18:32] bastard: Deutschsprachige Hilfe fuer Probleme mit Ubuntu, Kubuntu und Edubuntu finden Sie in den Kanaelen #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #xubuntu-de und #edubuntu-de [18:32] !language [18:32] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [18:32] anirudh0: Nope, I just solved it! [18:32] Here's how: [18:33] akincer, what was it? [18:33] akincer, wrong driver in mplayer? [18:33] Hi. [18:33] Broadcom, you need to hit esc in the three seconds or so before it goes to stage 1.5 [18:33] Anyone know of anything faster than tovid ? [18:33] bazhang: how do i get there? [18:33] Hi, I use Ubuntu with Gnome. How do I play flash movies (ie youtube.com) with konqueror? I installed this browser since the new firefox3b5 was acting weird recently... [18:34] 1) Alt + F2 2) gstreamer-properties and click Run 3) In the video tab under default output, select X Window System (No Xv) [18:34] I installed konqueror-nsplugin and flashplugin-nonfree [18:34] from synaptic [18:34] Broadcom, you see that? [18:34] bazhang: no [18:34] and I can't get more info on Google [18:34] anirudh0: http://img200.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=36501_Picture_003_122_241lo.jpg [18:34] akincer, so a driver problem [18:34] Broadcom, hit esc before it gets to stage 1.5 of grub [18:35] If doing what I just said fixes a driver issue, then yes [18:35] Broadcom, then choose recovery mode [18:35] babo, it looks like it should support anything that your codecs can handle http://www.openmovieeditor.org/formatsupport.html [18:35] Who ever was helping me... with AMD cool n quiet [18:35] thx [18:35] hold on, i will be right back under a diffrent user name [18:35] Broadcom, your xorg.conf is still bad [18:35] z0man: fixed? [18:35] Broadcom Is this the correct v4 wl_apsta.o file? http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/broadcom-wl-4.80.53.0.tar.bz2 [18:35] soundray! The applet is working showing 50% [18:35] But to say that solution is ambiguous doesn't scratch the surface [18:35] So I guess it is [18:36] not sure what it means though... [18:36] z0man: was it a BIOS setting then? [18:36] Broadcom, hold on [18:36] It was disabled...So I changed it to "ENABLED" [18:36] Jack_Sparrow: for what? [18:36] Anyone know of something faster than tovid for avi to DVD? [18:36] I spent that time fixing it and now I don't have time to watch my movie. Have to go. Figures [18:36] z0man: it means your CPU is running at half its max frequency.

[18:40] anirudh0 I understand what you are saying, but there is no one size fits all solution [18:40] babo, you are better off with avidemux, at least for simple needs, check cinerella for more control [18:40] KRaZy_WaKa var/cache/apt/archives [18:40] anirudh0, avidemux only has one channel ... [18:40] /etc/apt/source.list [18:40] thanx jack [18:40] babo, but cinerella produces HUGE output, sometimes a couple of Gbs [18:40] anirudh0 take care, I only loggon on to check my mail..

[19:22] ok [19:22] emma: that's taking ages. It should work from there though no ? [19:22] any other steps ?

[19:24] dannyboy: you mean like streamripper? [19:24] Prowl: yes i guess.... [19:24] babo: that's dist-upgrade, upgrade is the normal upgrade to get security updates [19:25] dannyboy: its pretty cool if you want to rip shoutcast streams. (or similar) [19:25] phew [19:25] ugh.... why can't i watch a youtube video and listen to music? videos stop after 2 seconds === MateuszB is now known as m4t1 [19:25] it's certainly taking long enough. maybe i haven't upgraded in a while ... [19:25] i hate having to close out of everything else [19:25] or maybe my system is getting big ... [19:25] babo: no. That would be dist-upgrade [19:25] Prowl: yea...but what program can i use for that? [19:25] I can't get my dual monitors to work, can somebody help me figure out why? It doesn't even give me the option to turn on the screen 2 under System > Administration > Screens and Graphics. Screen two can only be set to default or disabled, not Secondary Screen. [19:25] Krazy_waka < yes we need an other OS.. actual we using Win2K and WinXP -> It sucks.... our server are so slow.. they didn't work.. everything fails [19:25] is there a way of seeing which driver is being used for my video? because I think I need to update it [19:26] there's a lot of openoffice ... [19:26] babo: I think you just have not upgraded in a while and it is upgrading a lot of your packages. [19:26] dannyboy: streamripper. [19:26] caexo: because you have to install flash beta 10 [19:26] emma: what should i do when it finished upgrading ? [19:26] s/finished/finishes/ [19:26] Prowl: awesome...thanks [19:26] babo -- However, the steps we did earlier were to add the medibuntu repository to your sources.list assuming you are using Hardy [19:26] is there a way of seeing which driver is being used for my video? because I think I need to update it??!??! [19:26] aye [19:26] muzy: you may want to get Ubuntu Server Edition to present to your teachers as well, although the servers are probably maintained by somebody other than the teachers [19:26] Are you using Hardy? [19:27] yeah [19:27] babo: Are you using Hardy? [19:27] babo: you'll have the ffmpeg from medibuntu when it's done, you might want to check in Synaptic for other interesting packages available from medibuntu ;) [19:27] emma: I'm using gutsy .. [19:27] oh :( lol. [19:27] Where is the file that tell synaptic what repositories to use ? I am on Ubuntu 8.04 [19:27] hmm i'll try that, the only left is trying to get vlc's sound working with another device.. totem and rhythmbox work fine together (for an example) [19:27] astro76, emma: k thanks ... :-) [19:27] appreciated ... [19:27] Can someone please help me? I finally got my wireless working, then realized my sound was disabled. I used "sudo aptitude install linux-ubuntu-modules-`uname -r` linux-generic" and restored my sound but now "sudo modprobe ath_pci" gives errors and I have no wireless. [19:27] tarelerulz: /etc/apt/sources.list [19:27] astro76: will that be a problem that we added the hardy medibuntu repository to his sources list but he's using Gutsy? [19:28] system > administration > software sources provides a GUI [19:28] emma: it could be [19:28] tarelerulz: did you try settings in synaptic? [19:28] Krazy_waka < The actual servers are managed by well graduated teacher.. They are well graduated, yes, but they mean they know everything. Ubuntu Server is good, but i think i should present edubuntu first... Maybe i order one too... [19:29] babo: There could be a problem. [19:29] tarelerulz: oh, sorry. /etc/apt/sources.list [19:29] Why isn't "Check for Updates..." available to click on in FF? [19:29] okays.. I understand people are busy but it'd be cool to at least get SOME type of a response. [19:29] emma: ? [19:29] muzy: no doubt good luck with it... you also may want to pitch the point that it would save the school money... although there may be some programs in the curriculum that require windows [19:29] i return to the login screen when i try to login on 8.04. anyone have a clue why? [19:29] channel is too big, probably should split it [19:29] babo: did you get gutsy.list or hardy.list from medibuntu in that first command? [19:29] babo: we added the hardy medibuntu repository to your sources.list but you say you are using Gutsy. [19:29] atlef: Fuoco won't even install. I think I've screwed my repositories up. [19:29] T1m0thy: because the Ubuntu team needs to approve it first [19:29] atlef , I did try ,but I did not know where to look in synaptic for the sources for the packages . So i just thought I would configure that file manually [19:30] tarelerulz: oh, sorry. /etc/apt/sources.list [19:30] emma: it'd probably work anyway though right ? [19:30] Thanks, atlef. It's just weird because my brother said it worked for him. [19:30] T1m0thy: no way [19:31] Krazy_waka < yes it would save some money and it would mean that everyone must learn to deal with linux, in this case edubuntu or ubuntu. Required programs of the curriculum should run in wine... they are for Win95 ^^ [19:31] I have two issues!!! 1.) when I hit CTRL ALT F1 it brings me to a blank screen (supposed to bring you to the virtual terminal), and then 2.) I wanted to know how can I tell which video card I'm using so I can update it. [19:31] atlef: when he downloads it for himself without packaging tools and saves it in a folder, he can update it... [19:31] atlef: Any ideas? 'Cause I know "sudo apt-get install mplayer" should work, but it doesn't. [19:31] babo: no you should delete /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list and repeat the first command replacing hardy with gutsy [19:31] babo: I don't know for sure. [19:31] tarelerulz: system > administration > software sources provides a GUI to set your sources.list [19:31] !medibuntu | babo here's this again for reference ;) [19:31] babo here's this again for reference ;): medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [19:31] ok cool thanks [19:31] Prowl: ok i need to rip an audio stream from a website while its playing....can streamripper do that? [19:31] Ireclan: did you go thru every step on the page/forum? [19:31] I'll do that ... [19:32] atlef: Yep. [19:32] * babo is going for dinner ... [19:32] muzy: good point, and there may be open source softwares that could replace what the school uses currently [19:32] Ireclan: strange, i had no problems [19:32] dannyboy: i think what you would want is a tool that 'records audio from your soundcard', streamripper is for 'streams' like shoutcast, icecast, etc. [19:32] problems with runing KDE applications in ubuntu 8.04 amd64 , amarok and k3b reporting that DCOP server is not runing and some folders are unwritable. here is output of starting amarok thru console: http://pastebin.com/m7c4fb6e7 . anyone have simimlar issues ? [19:33] I have two issues!!! 1.) when I hit CTRL ALT F1 it brings me to a blank screen (supposed to bring you to the virtual terminal), and then 2.) I wanted to know how can I tell which video card I'm using so I can update it. [19:33] Prowl: yes exactly now what can i use for that? [19:33] afallenhope: 2. install hwinfo and run hwinfo --gfxcard in a terminal [19:34] omg! someone replied! lol. thanks danners [19:34] Krazy_waka < yes and i'm shure that opensource is avaible for the task the windows software does now... and i hold the view that this software is much better and more functional. And when a student wants more functioan, he could add these points if he knows how to programming..... [19:34] afallenhope: for (2) you might try opening a terminal and typing: lspci | grep VGA [19:34] is there a reason when I type "users" I get three of my name? [19:35] I have a problem.. amarok doesn't work in hardy.. if I run it after a few seconds process amarokcollection takes 90% of memory.. can anyone help me? [19:35] atlef: The package claims it can't install "mplayer". Then when I try "sudo apt-get install mplayer" it says "E: Broken packages" after a whole bunch of other stuff. So....I'm back at square one, aren't I? [19:35] 00:05.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation C51 [Geforce 6150 Go] (rev a2) soo... I can go to the nVidia site and look for an update? [19:35] I seem to have lost GRUB. [19:35] afallenhope: did you get that by doing: lspci | grep VGA ? [19:35] I looked at various instructions, but I'm still confused. http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Hardy#How_to_restore_GRUB_to_a_partition_or_MBR_with_an_Ubuntu_Live_CD [19:35] emma: yeah [19:36] afallenhope: okay very good :) [19:36] afallenhope, thats becaues you are logged in 3 places on your system [19:36] How do I know which partitions etc? [19:36] Ireclan: im not sure, have you got the medibuntu repositories activated? [19:36] AaronH: righteo. that makes sense.. I just noticed that..

[19:37] kevin__ follow the instructions on the wine appdk [19:37] appdb* [19:37] atlef: Yep. According to "Software Sources", anyway. [19:37] legend2440: errors for me. [19:37] !wine > kevin__ [19:37] dannyboy: audacity is really great audio recording/editor, its free/open source, gui based, and capable of recording directly from your sound device, i think that will work best in your case. [19:37] hmm.. lol [19:37] !wine [19:37] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux.

I've no idea why and there's no tool to configure it. Any ideas how to change that? [19:46] I'm slightly confused as to which file to download for my grafx card wether it's up to date or not. I've got a nVidia GeForce Go 6150 [19:46] cypha: and what is repeating the fact that no one uses it accomplishing? what is it anyway? [19:46]

german [19:46] Hi all. anybody familiar with transmission-daemon? I've just installed it and want to know more about how to interact with it. [19:46] how i can have Gnome-Do search my USB drive? [19:46] !de | p [19:46] p: Deutschsprachige Hilfe fuer Probleme mit Ubuntu, Kubuntu und Edubuntu finden Sie in den Kanaelen #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #xubuntu-de und #edubuntu-de [19:46] p-> what about german? [19:46] cypha: I don't know what gnome-do is [19:47] it only searches within my /home/cypha directory as of now [19:47] cypha: then make a symlink for it to follow [19:47]

nothing^^ [19:47] well, u're welcome for telling you about something awesome [19:47] =) [19:47] muzy , please check this link http://italc.sourceforge.net/ [19:47] i'm a german too but the support in the english channel is much better [19:47] symlink? [19:47] thanks m1r [19:47] muzy: np [19:47] can somebody help with alsa issues? [19:47] this is great... [19:48] woli: you should just ask the question and maybe someone will know the answer. [19:48] Quick question, I need to be able to dlopen libgomp, so I can use rmagick with rails, but it's configured not to allow dlopen. Is this a configuration setting, or do I have to remove the package and try to configure from source? [19:48] cypha: ln -s /media/usbdisk $HOME/.gnomedohiddenfolder [19:48] wuzy , helps? [19:48] muzy , helps? [19:48] what's that do? [19:48] sorry emma... [19:48] Myrtti, what's that do? [19:48] cypha: creates a link called .gnomedohiddenfolder to /media/usbdisk [19:49] woli: nothing to be sorry about, I'm just trying to acquaint you with the most efficient way to get help here :) [19:49] yes it helps.. now i must only translate the localisation files or language files into german and everything fit [19:49] If buying a lappy for the coming years, should one go for ATI or NVIDIA? [19:49] here it goes, the classic alsa error: 'Could not open audio device for playback' [19:49] muzy , gl m8 ;) [19:49] Ienorand: Intel ;) [19:49] yes now i can start converting the school [19:49] Myrtti, is that the only way? [19:49] what menas gl m8 ? [19:49] *means [19:49] muzy , good luck [19:49] emma, I did that because many times you go and ask your question with details and afterwards someone says that can't help you [19:49] can we stop on /topic guys [19:49] Anyone know why when I hit CTRL + ALT + F1 I get a blank black sceen? [19:49] thanks [19:49] cypha: I have no idea, I've not used gnome-do probably ever [19:50] oh [19:50] can anyone tell me if wine hq is much better than virtualbox? [19:50] !better > joanki2 [19:50] joanki2: for what? [19:50] joanki2: wine is better than virtualbox depending on what you need to do [19:50] joanki2: they are quite different things [19:50] cypha: but if it searches from only your home directory, and you've got a symlink in your home directory to your usbdisk... [19:50] joanki2: to be honest I don't even know. I can't get any games to play on wine. [19:50] hi, can anyone help me with my wireless connection in ubuntu? [19:50] i thought wine was supposed to a virtual os [19:51] joanki2: but virtualbox requres that you have a copy of windows to install into it [19:51] cypha: my logic - maybe that would work [19:51] as was virtualbox [19:51] Ubuntu 8.04 installation (alternative cd) hangs at 6% at "Select and install software", saying "Please wait...", anyone knows if that's normal? [19:51] Myrtti, but i'm hoping there is an option that can be changed [19:51] astro76: Yea, but I'm intending to dual-boot XP for some kind of gaming performance, which afaik, you can't really get with intel? [19:51] like why should it just search the /Home directory anyway [19:51] tsimmi: what's your issue? [19:51] virtualbox ate too much of my computer's resources i did not like it [19:51] cypha: have you checked gconf [19:51] how do i get there? [19:51] joanki2: wine is an emulator that doesn't require windows [19:51] joanki2: what do you need to do? [19:51] Ienorand: X3500 is pretty sweet but if you are a hardcore gamer you won't be happy [19:51] atlef, it was just any program - ms word, excel, video [19:51] all of that [19:51] joanki2: unlike virtualbox, it doesn't act like a full computer and is faster [19:51] Myrtti, how do i get there? [19:51] just sitting there, it would cause my resources to go crazy [19:51] cypha: alt-f2, type gconf-editor [19:52] i'm trying to copy all my windows fonts over to my Hardy partition so i can use them in OpenOffice, GIMP etc. can someone tell me how to? [19:52] yeah [19:52] !fonts [19:52] Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer [19:52] afllenhope: thanks!My laptop don't connect to my wireless router... [19:52] it only has the option to change the shortcut key for gnome-do under Apps>Gnome-Do [19:52] joanki2: then maybe you have configured it wrong or you machine is not up to the task [19:52] tsimmi: what kind of wireless card? [19:53] its intel [19:53] atlef, it was right [19:53] i just think.... well, i have a duo-core processor [19:53] i think it was running only on one processor [19:53] joanki2: wine uses less resources than virtualbox and doesn't need a genuine copy of windows [19:53] but that still shouldn't make a dif [19:53] thanks Starnestommy [19:53] Myrtti: thanks === useff is now known as hendeca [19:53] DefineKThyne: np [19:54] joanki2: i run several virtual machines at once and have no problems [19:54] joanki2: it works as a compatibility layer, while virtualbox attempts to act like a whole PC [19:54]

[19:54] im having difficulty with an ubuntu installation, any chance someone could help me a bit === digitalvectorz is now known as IgnorantAmerican [19:54] Starnestommy, got it i think i'll like wine [19:54] joanki2: the one in the repos [19:54] i've been having a problem with xp on both of my computers [19:54] related to boot? [19:54] atlef, i mean which software edition [19:54] virtual box? [19:55] Jeff2: What's up?

I used "sudo aptitude install linux-ubuntu-modules-`uname -r` linux-generic" and restored my sound but now "sudo modprobe ath_pci" gives errors and I have no wireless. [19:59] so there's no choice but wait? [19:59] Hey, I have a question. My master volume isn't adjusting any of my other volumes. What is the problem? [19:59] WanderingKnight: Correct [19:59] Anyone here know or use Audacious music player? [19:59] that's a drag [19:59] WanderingKnight: the only other choice is to not resize but we're past that point ;) [19:59] <_joe> /msg ubottu etiquette [19:59] :/ [19:59] WanderingKnight: look into LVM in the future if you want to be able to adjust partitions easily [20:00] eTranquility: hate to break it to you but you might've just overwritten the madwifi drivers you installed [20:00] does anyone know of a bootable flash drive linux that doesnt require that you boot to a livecd first to configure it? [20:00] not even my PC, and I don't wanna have to come here again [20:00] damn gparted [20:00] Mrytti, is there any way I can have both sound and wireless functioning?

[20:00] here is the contents of menu.lst : http://paste.ubuntu.com/14597/ [20:00] eTranquility: so you didn't notice that the sound isn't working until you fixed the wireless? [20:01] astro76: so what may the issue be, then? [20:01] afallenhope: press enter and see what happens [20:01] DellGuy: http://partedmagic.com/wiki/PartedMagic.php [20:01] afallenhope: are you using a vga= option ?

[20:01] helping* [20:02] I have done the munu.lst thing: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14597/ [20:02] that won't bring a blank screen, will bring ubuntu in console mode [20:02] astro76: not that I'm aware of [20:02] WanderingKnight: you're moving a lot of data around and it has to calculate where to put it [20:02] afallenhope: You have multiple screens. ctrl + alt + F7 gives you your default desktop screen [20:02] so stop asking the damn same question then [20:02] syca: I do not. [20:02] Myrtti, I'm pretty sure sound died when wireless was fixed. Sound now works but wireless does not. [20:02] <^root^> anyone? [20:02] woli: remain calm my friend :) [20:02] lukehasnoname: I know (and it's only CTRL + f7) [20:02] eTranquility: hm [20:02] afallenhope: you would have put it in /boot/grub/menu.lst to alter console size [20:02] Does anyone know why my master volume does not control the volume for the rest of the system? [20:02] astro76: but it's ext3... and there was a sizeable amount of space free... I mean, the thing should not be fragmented at all [20:02] I am trying to install the ubuntu 7.10 alternate installer and it can't find my HD, it is asking for a driver, is it asking for the sata chip driver? or the HD driver? [20:03] woli: I'll keep asking until someone answers it. quit bein' a dick [20:03] Wow, finally, the installation continued from 6% [20:03] afallenhope: probably a problem with the console setup [20:03] you quit being a troll, damn it [20:03] default 0 [20:03] Starnestommy: when I hit enter nothing occurs [20:03] woli: I think you don't know what a troll is [20:03] woli: behave [20:04] afallenhope, woli both of you please relax. I am just a user like you and I understand that people can get frustrated. Let's not ruin the channel though. Be calm :) [20:04] afallenhope: check /etc/default/console-setup [20:04] brb [20:04] lukehasnoname, probably because your not controlling the right thing. Go into system sound preferences and select the item that you want to controll volume to [20:04] astro76: hey there, it finished [20:04] thanks [20:04] I was getting nervous [20:04] syca: I use audacious now and then [20:04] WanderingKnight: heh no prob [20:04] bigjoe4: change the line " 14 default 0" to " default 3" === IgnorantAmerican is now known as mdop [20:05] RoAkSoAx: yes ... i tried both gcjwebplugins that are offered when you go to a site with java applet ... but the best i got was grey boxes [20:05] <^root^> anyone?

[20:06] bigjoe, when you boot up, the grub displays a list, in dos style. Count which os do you want. The default will run the item number, but counting from 0, not from 1--like humans do. [20:06] dolphin_noel, yep [20:06] apart from ubuntu, how can register in C forum so i can ask in the room? [20:07] dolphin_noel: Upgrading only works with the alternate CD, yes.

[20:10] let me just catch up on posts I misssed [20:10] Starnestommy: i have verbose off though should I turn that on? [20:10] afallenhope: that might not fix anything [20:10] bigjoe4: change the line " 14 default 0" to " default 3" [20:10] RoAkSoAx: or for example http://www.screencast-o-matic.com/watch/ci6DbhEI [20:10] Ya woli, I don't know how to help you. Usually when something can't be opened, it's being used by something else. [20:10] afallenhope: there might be a related bug report on launchpad.net [20:10] Ienorand: it's a tough call since nvidia works better now but ati has committed to open-source support [20:10] astro76: But would you say any of ati/nvidia is a lesser evil? [20:10] <^root^> Flannel: yes, each one of them [20:10] RoAkSoAx: that ones working with the plugin http://www.heise.de/security/dienste/browsercheck/tests/java.shtml [20:11] if the password for a user expires while they are logged in, will they be logged out?

[20:11] lukehasnoname, like what could be using my audio device? === coddingfunt is now known as cunningrunt [20:11] As far as my problem and your suggestion, my volume control is controlling alsa, which is correct. Wheatever I adjust the master volume too, the volume remains unchanged. [20:11] astro76: Yea, and then ati might be good in the future... or not... [20:11] Any music or media player you have open [20:11] delight, sometimes, i have to remove it an install it again to get it working [20:11] i have none [20:11] atlef: OK, does it matter how many spaces there are between the words [20:12] what can i use to convert an .avi to .dv? [20:12] idefine: No, it shoulddnt. They just wouldn't be able to use the password any more [20:12] i only have pidgin open, and gedit [20:12] bigjoe4: i think so, so just replace 0 with 3 [20:12] afallenhope: check https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-via/+bug/21416 [20:12] Launchpad bug 21416 in xserver-xorg-video-via "KN400: Blank / black screen when switching to text consoles" [Medium,Confirmed] === cunningrunt is now known as edoram32mb [20:12] OK, I will test it in a minute [20:12] bigjoe4: in the line [20:13] Flannel: anyway to have services running by that user turn off?

[20:13] astro76: anyhow, thanks for yar comments, much appreciated : ) [20:13] Ienorand: I'd say nvidia since it works better now, also going by what they put in thinkpads which are all linux supported, vidia [20:13] nvidia [20:13] idefine: kill [20:13] bigjoe4: in that li line [20:13] *in that line [20:13] Ienorand: in fact, I'd recommend a thinkpad :P [20:13] line 14 you mean? [20:13] I have changed it [20:13] bigjoe4: yes [20:14] delight, it's pretty weird cuz i had it working on FF3, and sometimes it does not work, and sometimes it does, sames as flashplugin [20:14] Starnestommy: I can get back to the GUI though.. just the virtual terminals don't seem to work. Was wondering if I updated my gfx card. [20:14] bigjoe4: you need to reboot to see if it worked [20:14] atlef: I will do [20:14] atlef: I'll be back in a minute! [20:14] hope so :-) [20:14] any other page with gnome themes but gnome look? [20:14] woli, run a diagnostic script for more info. Type: wget http://hg.alsa-project.org/alsa/raw-file/tip/alsa-info.sh #and then run script with: bash alsa-info.sh #and then post here output URL it provides [20:14] RoAkSoAx: well hopefully it gets better ... thats a quite bad behaviour [20:15] atlef: problem: it won't let me save the file [20:15] delight, yep it is, but well, hope when ff3 is stable, everything will work right [20:15] Hi all. I have a small problem. When I try to print something, the printer recieves the file, but doesn't start to print. It says "processing" for 30 seconds, then marks it as completed. Any ideas? [20:15] how would i access my USB Drive in the terminal if it's called WD Passport? [20:15] i set all my sound prefs to alsa, and my computer still sounds. does that mean that it works? [20:15] hi all ;) [20:15] atlef: "You do not have the necessary permissions to save the file." [20:15] cypha: Has it already been mounted by gnome or no? [20:16] yes [20:16] !sudo | bigjoe4 [20:16] <^root^> so, anyone? [20:16] bigjoe4: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. [20:16] i see it in when i type ls in the /media directory [20:16] !gksudo | bigjoe4 [20:16] bigjoe4: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"!

How can i do? su says authetification failure [20:37] etyrnal: i dont know, sorry [20:37] * nickrud wonders if he should be insulted by Starnestommy's inference [20:37] Starnestommy a joke, forgot the smiley [20:37] woli sudo , bash sudo etc... not su [20:37] Flannel: That page has the same solution. ;) [20:37] what kind of features come with the gnome/kde?? is it anything that would impact me playing multimedia and converting file types?

Any other suggestion? [20:38] Flannel: Oh wait, I need the second part... [20:38] Flannel: Can't I just reinstall Ubuntu? :P [20:38] woli, try again, but note quotes: sudo 'bash tsalsa' [20:39] woli: do you have audio integrated on motherboard along with audigy card? [20:39] 'bash tsalsa' is command not found [20:39] PaRaSiTe: Er... it has the same way... at the very bottom. Do the first method or the second. [20:39] oh i have 2gigs on my laptop that i just bought, but im gonna try out ubuntu on my eeepc that i just purchased and if it works out good, then im going to power up my very expensive laptop with it lol [20:39] legend2440, fschk command not found [20:39] i don't think so, legend2440 [20:39] killakali408650: gnome is "full bodied" xfce is not [20:39] woli: try without the ' marks [20:39] full bodied [20:39] PaRaSiTe: you *could* install Ubuntu, but you'd... well, have to reinstall Ubuntu [20:39] killakali408650: yea!! [20:39] dar1: to force hard drive check type in terminal >>> sudo shutdown -F -r now [20:39] hmmm, full bodied meaning that sum of the codes that xfce deosn't have ubuntu has [20:40] starnestommy, it says i need root priviledges to run script [20:40] ??

Main difference imho [20:40] ohhhh i see [20:40] ./tsalsa: command not found [20:40] no wonder the videos i have seen with xfce(xubuntu) installation the user had to go and configure things themselves [20:40] killakali408650: xfce is light it would defeat the purpose [20:40] but it is in desktop [20:40] Flannel: I mean the instruction from the GrubHowTo page. [20:40] and i'n running cd'ed in desktop [20:41] woli: try sudo bash ./tsalsa [20:41] woli, type: ls tsalsa [20:41] I need help getting something working with the program: motion (for webcams). For some reason, the pictures are being taken WAY too fast, and because of that they are unable to upload to FTP due to the fact that there are too many files being sent at once, so nothing goes though. [20:41] legend2440, :) hehe thanx I didnt knowed whays fschk at begginig LOL thanks [20:41] ohhh and i had a question about adding tarballs on like beryl and compiz, how exactly is it done? [20:41] woli, is the file there ? [20:41] starnestommy, same as sudo bash tsalsa [20:41] atlef: I changed it to "4" and it now works :) [20:41] killakali408650 not necessary to get the tarballs, the stuff is available pre-compiled from the repos [20:41] killakali408650: now my experience with xfce is on an old gateway with 256 memory [20:41] bigjoe4: nice [20:41] oldcpu, it is [20:41] ohhhh [20:42] !components | killakali408650 [20:42] killakali408650: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [20:42] woli, what did you get when you typed: ls tsalsa ? [20:42] PaRaSiTe: Right. The only one that is the same is the *last* set of instructions on the RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows page. Do one of ht eones at the top [20:42] atlef: thankyou very much [20:42] yes [20:42] i have a very old system that is just sitting there collecting dust as well [20:42] and it returned tsalsa [20:42] bigjoe4: you are welcome [20:42] lol xfce wud work for that [20:42] :D [20:42] thank you guys [20:42] how cvome there's over 1000 people in this chat?? [20:42] also i heard that there were sum router problems with ubuntu and xubuntu [20:42] bigjoe4: ubuntu is popular [20:42] Flannel: OK. Like "Overwriting the Windows bootloader"? [20:42] killakali408650 if it's over 768mb mem, gnome will run just wonderfully on p3 and above, below that you want to consider xubuntu [20:43] Can someone help me figure out why zsnes and other games have no audio when another application is playing/using audio [20:43] like people couldn't connect to their own networks [20:43] woli, don't know what to say .... sudo bash tsalsa #works on my pc [20:43] bigjoe4: but do not undrestand that it had to be "4", but OK [20:43] atlef: well it works [20:43] My laptop Asus X51RLseries, ATI Radeon Graphics x1100 when I try to enable ATI accelerated graphics, when I reboot, it becomes blank. but when I try to boot in recovery mode it becomes normal. What is wrong with it? [20:43] PaRaSiTe: right. [20:43] killakali408650 not really, it's always doable [20:43] bigjoe4: :-) [20:43] doable? [20:43] Afternoon, anyone around think they may be able to help me get my dvd drive mounted? Ever since I moved my hard drive to my T61 from my T60 the damn dvd drive hasn't worked. [20:43] is there a special thing you have to do to be able to connect to your network? [20:44] oldcpu, it runs the script, but says that i have to be in root to run lsof. I guess the script uses lsof in some line [20:44] killakali408650 may take configuration on xubuntu, should work out of the box on a dhcp network in either [20:44] Flannel: That one is confusing me, they keep changing which HDA they're talking about. :-/ [20:44] guys [20:44] ohhh [20:44] wait a minute [20:44] so with ubuntu i would still have to configure the network settings and such [20:45] !ask > afikri: [20:45] woli, by typing "sudo" first you should have root permissions [20:45] My laptop Asus X51RLseries, ATI Radeon Graphics x1100 when I try to enable ATI accelerated graphics, when I reboot, it becomes blank. but when I try to boot in recovery mode it becomes normal. What is wrong with it? [20:45] * bigjoe4 tests this thing [20:45] Hello. I am looking to install a dual boot with Windows XP x64, I have two hard disks. Do I partition on the same disk as XP for Ubuntu? [20:45] .cl [20:45] legend2440, it wasnt command for check sistem partition on startup it was for forcing shutdown! [20:45] killakali408650 probably not (wired). I had problems in one network, because the nameservers didn't get picked up, but that was the only case where just plugging in the laptop didn't work [20:45] afikri, some of the ATI drivers are blacklisted [20:45] they might not work. [20:45] i see [20:45] ohhh, i have wireless all the way [20:46] afikri, check the forums for your problem. [20:46] Can someone help me figure out why zsnes and other games have no audio when another application is playing/using audio [20:46] CotH: you can put it on a separtae [20:46] i'm sure there's an answer somewhere on there. [20:46] ok [20:46] oldcpu, i don't know why [20:46] killakali408650 wire up to install, trust me. Then work on wireless afterwards. Wireless is problematic for some chipsets [20:46] DIL: Will GRUB still pick it up? [20:46] oldcpu, what does your tsalsa return? [20:46] CotH: yes [20:47] DIL: Excellent [20:47] PaRaSiTe: thats because they're taking you through how to figure out which partition has /boot on it. If you only have one Ubuntu partition, that would be it. [20:47] CotH if you have room on the primary with xp it seems to work out easier [20:47] Wish me luck! [20:47] gl CotH! [20:47] lol [20:47] oh okay [20:47] CotH also please check out sep /home partition [20:47] woli, on one of my PCs I get this: paste this url in #alsa: http://nopaste.com/p/aQpd4OG4I [20:47] thank you nickrud [20:47] Jack_Sparrow: That was my instinct [20:47] :) [20:47] I keep having a problem with pulseaudio and X11, when I boot up my computer (intel macbook pro running hardy) X11 fails to load most of the time [20:47] and all that helped me :D [20:47] Flannel: I have one for / and one for /home (and swap space) [20:47] killakali408650: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:47] There are some error messages in my syslog [20:48] im juts gonna go ahead and install ubuntu [20:48] but for some of the drivers where exactly am i supposed to go? [20:48] killakali408650: what drivers ? [20:48] PaRaSiTe: then it'll be the one for / [20:48] did you download the script today? [20:48] Flannel: I understand the first part. Is it always ext3 though, or ext2 if it's ext2? And for the final bit, is it always just hda? [20:48] oldcpu [20:48] ^ [20:48] Question about grub. I have two ubuntu installations, on sda1 and sda4. Right now the computer loads grub from sda4. How do I configure grub so that it uses the grub on the other partition? I don't want the booting process be dependent on sda4. [20:48] CotH if you make / "root" on your primary drive and /home on a different drive /partition you will be well on your way to a great setupo [20:48] killakali408650: dual boot if you can [20:48] for the hardware for my laptop [20:48] oh [20:48] killakali408650 if you're using vista, one last piece of advice: use the disk management tool in vista to resize your vista partition. And the vast majority of drivers come with the base install [20:48] uhmm...after trying to install some fonts, the font in Firefox is invisible. can someone help me? [20:48] Is there a way of resetting you Login Window back to the defaults? [20:48] killakali408650: it should be in the kernel [20:48] most of them are along the lines of pulseaudio[5912]: module-x11-xsmp,c: Failed to open conection to session manager: IUO error occured opening connection [20:48] woli, I downloaded the script about 10 minutes ago [20:48] PaRaSiTe: the final bit is always hda, because that's the MBR we want to change. And yeah, if you have ext2 it wouldn't be ext3 [20:48] !fonts [20:48] Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer [20:48] oh [20:49] I receive a GRUB loading error 21 whenever I start up my computer. How do I solve this dilemma? [20:49] DefineKThyne: what do you mean as in "invisible" [20:49] cuz i was gonna go full fledged linux [20:49] Flannel: OK, get it I think. Wish me luck! :D [20:49] oh [20:49] me too lol [20:49] kde4 is nice! [20:49] partitioning with vista and dual booting seems a bit difficult [20:49] i have never dual booted ever [20:49] killakali: it isn't at all [20:49] afallenhope: invisible as in i can't read it in FF, but i can highlight, copy and paste it into OO or Tomboy and read it. [20:49] partymetroid: "Selected disk does not exist" [20:49] Vista is poo lol [20:49] Jack_Sparrow: Okay, ta. [20:49] !dualboot [20:49] Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MacBookPro https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [20:50] np [20:50] Is there a way to set compiz as the default composting manager? [20:50] killakali408650: the install is painless [20:50] killakali408650 dual but is really easy, the install is built around it [20:50] DefineKThyne: hmmm.. have you read the documentation for installing fonts? [20:50] s/but/boot [20:50] ohhh [20:50] I plugged in a USB disk and changed the properties to where I wanted it to automount. Unfortunately I set it wrong and now it doesn't mount but just complains. How do I tell hal or whatever it is to let me pick a new mount point for my external disk? [20:50] DefineKThyne: where are you putting them? [20:50] Starnestommy: How do I tell GRUB that the selected disk exists? [20:50] oldcpu, i guess i have one wierd computer! [20:50] sooo with the partitioning tool i just divide my harddrive in half and have the ubuntu live cd install on the second half? [20:51] MarcN gksudo gedit /etc/fstab [20:51] Is there a keyboard shortcut for showing the desktop? (minimize all windows) [20:51] partymetroid: mount ubuntu's partition in the livecd, then check the boot/grub/menu.lst on it [20:51] killakali408650: at install it will ask and you can set partitions there [20:51] killakali408650 technically, you shrink the vista partition to make space for ubuntu [20:51] afallenhope: yeah i just went through it trying to install my old windows fonts. uhmm...i tried putting them in both /usr/share/fonts/ and /home/[my folder]/.fonts. [20:51] ohhhh [20:51] How do I get talk to work on Ubutnu Server? [20:51] oldcpu, my computer has sound, even though all sound mixers are set to alsa, but when I click test in the preferences, it gives an error [20:51] Jack_Sparrow: I know all about fstab, that isn't want I want for the USB disks that come and go (camera, usb external disk, etc, etc) [20:51] Hi *. I have a NVidia Geforce 6200. At the moment I have been using xinerama connected to 2 external monitors (via DVI + VGA). Is it possible to use the S-video output at the same time? [20:51] what's a good media manager? [20:51] How do I find out what kernel I have? [20:52] Starnestommy: I forgot to mention that, whenever I pretty ctrl+alt+del, GRUB boots up fine. It's just really annoying. [20:52] DefineKThyne: have you rebooted? [20:52] PaRaSiTe: uname -r [20:52] Starnestommy: *press [20:52] oh okay thank you guys [20:52] afallenhope: not recently, good idea. brb [20:52] I don't think you need to reboot after installing fonts... [20:52] Jack_Sparrow: it has to be a per user gnome thing [20:52] gtg for now :D [20:52] Starnestommy: Thanks. If I have a driver for "2.6.22-14", will it work for newer? [20:53] PaRaSiTe: cat /etc/*-release [20:53] thingfish run fc-cache to get any fresh fonts recognized if needed [20:53] PaRaSiTe: it probably will work, but there's a small chance that it won't [20:53] Does anyone know if there is a way to switch Xorg.conf without killing X [20:53] Starnestommy: I hope so, thanks. :) [20:53] paolo read an altered xorg.conf? no. [20:53] paolo: I don't think there is one [20:54] paolo: try source [20:54] nickrud: I know how to do fonts. I was responding to afallenhope's question to DefineKThyne as to whether he rebooted after installing fonts. [20:54] Whats the command to clear the console screen? === JohnMM is now known as hmm [20:54] poseidon: clear [20:54] poseidon: clear or reset === hmm is now known as JohnMM [20:54] thingfish I didn't see who asked the original question, I figured you knew ;) [20:54] woli, sudo password only lasts for 15 min in ubuntu ?? maybe you were unlucky in your timing [20:54] poseidon: clear [20:54] When I try to share a folder (it auto installed samba for me) it gives me a " cannot open usershare directory /var/lib/samba/usershares. Error Permission denied [20:54] Another question. :) In the readme for the driver, it says "sudo ./setup". Where am I CD'd to during this? Is that exactly how I type it (with the ./)? [20:54] Starnestommy: I can check Ubuntu's menu.lst right now. Should I paste it to pastebin? [20:54] can i import video off of a dvd with pitivi? [20:54] How do I get talk to operate on Ubutnu Server [20:55] Flannel: what do you mean "try source" [20:55] Hi, I'm trying to get my mobile broadband to work on ubuntu with "vodafon mobile connect card driver for linux". After some work I managed to be able to start the program and get it to identify my USB-modem. However, I seem to only be able to send text messages with it and I'm not able to connect to the internet with it. Can someone give me som ideas/instructions on how to fix this? [20:55] PaRaSiTe: where the setup file is [20:55] PaRaSiTe you would be in the same directory as the setup file [20:55] paolo: source /path/to/file [20:55] paolo: it's worth atry [20:55] Thanks Starnestommy, nickrud! [20:55] Flannel that works with bash stuff, not at the X level [20:55] Flannel: how can it work? [20:55] Starnestommy: http://pastebin.com/d4900d2b6 [20:56] paolo: It probably wont. But it won't hurt to try. [20:56] When I try to share a folder (it auto installed samba for me) it gives me a " cannot open usershare directory /var/lib/samba/usershares. Error Permission denied. How can I fix this? [20:56] woli, you could always create a root shell with "sudo -i " or "sudo -s" but I think I would be in mortal danger for suggesting that .... [20:56] Would it be possible to run debian programs by creating a Debian chroot with that program in it and running it from there? [20:56] * oldcpu slinks quietly away [20:56] Starnestommy: Do I type it in with the ./ then? [20:56] ryanakca yes [20:56] PaRaSiTe: yes [20:57] nickrud: thanks [20:57] Starnestommy: Taa. [20:57] ryanakca for most stuff, I could see some X stuff having issues [20:57] partymetroid: are windows and ubuntu on separate disks? [20:57] Starnestommy: Yes. [20:57] nickrud: hmm... *nods* [20:57] My 14 GB root part is all filled up... I have a part with 174 GB free so I am wondering I can move some stuff over there, like /usr? If I move the usr dir over and symbolic link /usr to the new spot would that work or would /usr not get mounted in time? Do I need to add some option to fstab? [20:57] I'm using dual screen and I'm having a problem with maximizing. I don't want it to maximise to both screens, how can I make this work? [20:57] Is there a way to change from 32bit to 64bit without losing settings/drivers/programs etc? [20:57] hello people [20:58] PaRaSiTe: nope [20:58] Hi, I'm trying to get my mobile broadband to work on ubuntu with "vodafon mobile connect card driver for linux". After some work I managed to be able to start the program and get it to identify my USB-modem. However, I seem to only be able to send text messages with it and I'm not able to connect to the internet with it. Can someone give me som ideas/instructions on how to fix this? [20:58] partymetroid: the problem might be with grub not knowing which disk is which [20:58] how do i sudo just to be in root? [20:58] I am trying to apt-get a openssh package but it doesn't find anything. [20:58] it was like sudo -someparametter [20:58] Starnestommy: How would I fix that? [20:58] PaRaSiTe it would take a reinstall. Save your home (for personal configs) and clone below for programs [20:58] woli, sudo su? [20:58] woli: sudo su [20:58] !clone | PaRaSiTe [20:58] PaRaSiTe: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate [20:58] woli: -i, but it usually is not needed [20:58] PaRaSiTe: yu can keep your /etc.. [20:58] partymetroid: check your bios settings [20:58] yes... i ran sudo -s [20:58] is that correct? [20:59] Starnestommy: kk. I'm going to my cousins' house, but I'll try that when I get back. Thanks. :) [20:59] homeuser: the openssh client is shipped with Ubuntu, if you want to install the server, it's openssh-server [20:59] woli: sudo -i is usually used [20:59] Starnestommy: also, I didn't haven't this problem with Gutsy, with the same BIOS settings. [20:59] HymnToLife: it's openssh-server the name of the package.... ? [20:59] woli: no, use sudo -i please [20:59] nickrud: Thanks. :D [20:59] homeuser: yes [20:59] homeuser, I think apt-get install ssh works too [20:59] ok [20:59] now, how do i listed all the contents in a folder? [20:59] HymnToLife: thanks. :) [20:59] woli: ls -a [20:59] ls -a [21:00] woli: ls, or ls -A folder [21:00] HymnToLife: let me apt-get it now. :) [21:00] or A [21:00] Gokee2: thanks. :) [21:00] it's almost the same === MarcN is now known as hp2133 [21:00] homeuser, np === Centaur5_ is now known as centaur5 [21:01] oh god.... my tsalsa just won't run [21:01] does anyone have any experience with apache is there a gtk frontend i can download [21:01] oldcpu, what distro are you running? [21:01] anyone in here know how to get setting configured in the nvidia control panel to stay on every boot instead of having to do them every time? [21:01] adub: a GUI for Apache would be totally pointless [21:01] woli, I have more than 1 pc, ... more than one distro (currently) [21:01] When I try to share a folder (it auto installed samba for me) it gives me a " cannot open usershare directory /var/lib/samba/usershares. Error Permission denied. How can I fix this? [21:01] Hi, I'm trying to get my mobile broadband to work on ubuntu with "vodafon mobile connect card driver for linux". After some work I managed to be able to start the program and get it to identify my USB-modem. However, I seem to only be able to send text messages with it and I'm not able to connect to the internet with it. Can someone give me som ideas/instructions on how to fix this? [21:01] adub haven't tried it myself, but I hear that ebox has some config stuff for apache [21:01] woli, and i do get some quirks confused [21:02] weeman13221: run nvidia-settings as root or via sudo [21:02] oldcpu, well, in what distro did you run tsalsa? [21:02] Rat409: i edit the command on how to run it with sudo then it wont run [21:02] woli, I'm currently beta testing 11.0 in another distro ... and I ran it on that beta version [21:02] anyone know if there's a way to sync blackberry devices (kde4) ? [21:03] oh [21:03] weeman13221: also you might try /usr/share/applications/Screens and Graphics [21:03] weeman13221: run it from gnome-terminal [21:03] HELLO everyone, I am running Ubuntu 8.04 with the nvidia-GLX drivers and it runs fine with the 3d desktop etc, and wine does as well, but full screen it goes out of range, I am running on an LCD [21:03] How come Ubuntu is so cool? === Adlai_ is now known as Adlai [21:03] how do i know what mixer I'm using? [21:03] and when it goes above 60hz it goes black, I can hear the application but nothing. I've looked in xorg.conf etc but I need more direction here [21:03] on how to force 60hz across the board for all things [21:04] woli, typically gnome uses alsamixer (I think) and kde kmix (I'm a kde user) [21:04] Rat409: the nvidia-settings doesn't seem to work for me :-s [21:04] Hi, I'm trying to get my mobile broadband to work on ubuntu with "vodafon mobile connect card driver for linux". After some work I managed to be able to start the program and get it to identify my USB-modem. However, I seem to only be able to send text messages with it and I'm not able to connect to the internet with it. Can someone give me som ideas/instructions on how to fix this? [21:05] yes but is there a command to get the current used mixer? [21:05] is there any diff within Ubuntu+kde and kubuntu? [21:05] afallenhope: wors for me dunno then [21:05] When does Ubuntu 9 come out??? [21:05] paolo: Kubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE instead of Gnome [21:05] in 2009 [21:05] !ubuntu [21:05] Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com [21:05] Rat409: what version? [21:05] afallenhope: try /usr/share/applications/Screens and Graphics - it worked for me, after trying about everything else I could think of. [21:05] Ugly_Gaunt_Cow: ubuntu 8.10 is in october, 9.04, the first 2009 release, will be in April 2009 [21:05] Flannel: right. But why not just install ubuntu and then install kde? [21:05] Ugly_Gaunt_Cow: Release numbers are year.month [21:05] Ah. [21:05] afallenhope: hardy and gutsy,in hardy atm [21:05] Awesome. [21:06] bash: /usr/share/applications/Screens: No such file or directory [21:06] woli, what does this give: cat /proc/asound/cards [21:06] lmao [21:06] i ran alsamixer and a lot of coloured bars appeared. Also, it says in one part of the console Card: Audigy 2 blah blah blah [21:06] paolo: you could. Of course, you'd have them both installed instead of just one. But there's no reason you couldn't then remove the gnome portion [21:06] afallenhope: it's not cli [21:06] although I suppose you could start it like that [21:06] I'm very happy with Ubuntu. It's allowed me to finally try my hand at Linux without feeling overwhelmed. [21:06] afallenhope: reboot seemed to work (: [21:06] afallenhope: but you need to click apply and merge to make it permanent [21:06] oldcpu, 0 [My card] [21:07] woli, what is [My card] [21:07] soir' all [21:07] woli, I can't see your PC :) :) [21:07] Hello, I'm trying to install ubuntu server 8.04 on a motherboard running a nfp3600-raid controller but the installer recognizes it as 2 seperate disks... not sure what to do, can anyone help me? [21:07] anybody running xfce in Ubuntu? [21:07] I don't see it anywhre [21:07] [Audigy2 ]. Audigy2 2 ZS [SB0350] [21:07] and some more lines [21:07] woli, what does this give: cat /proc/asound/version [21:07] perhaps I have to update my drivers [21:07] lol [21:07] I just don't know where to get that [21:07] Flannel: ok.. thanks. I am planning to try ubuntu on a new machine. I wouldn't give up KDE, but I would prefer to avoid any fork (such as kubuntu) [21:07] afallenhope: it won't show up in a terminal, it seems. Navigate there using the gui. [21:08] paolo: Kubuntu isn't a fork, it's just Ubuntu with KDE instead of Gnome [21:08] Flannel: why not ask to choose when installing ubuntu? [21:08] paolo: Kubuntu, Ubuntu, Xubuntu, (Gobuntu, UbuntuStudio, Mythbuntu) are all different flavors of the same distro (which is Ubuntu) [21:08] Fegis: did you find out if linux supports your card, and if so, with which module? [21:08] alsa version 1.0.16, compiled on apr 21 2008 for kernel 2.6.24-16-generic (SMP) [21:08] thingfish: there's no "screens and Graphic" [21:08] lol [21:08] paolo: Because CDs aren't that big [21:08] HorizSync 30.0 - 110.0 can I change the 110 to 60hz and it will lock to 60 max? [21:08] woli, ... any chance your sound problem is a permissions problem? [21:08] afallenhope: that's weird. This is hardy, right? [21:08] yeah [21:09] Boohbah: It's supposed to support it but I have no idea of which module... [21:09] huh [21:09] Hi, I'm trying to get my mobile broadband to work on ubuntu with "vodafon mobile connect card driver for linux". After some work I managed to be able to start the program and get it to identify my USB-modem. However, I seem to only be able to send text messages with it and I'm not able to connect to the internet with it. Can someone give me som ideas/instructions on how to fix this? [21:09] Flannel: I see.. I would install from network anyway [21:09] oldcpu, in grub i can choose whether choose that kernel or the previous one [21:09] woli, perhaps add your user to what every audio group ubuntu uses ... possibly group audio [21:09] Fegis: look it up [21:09] woli, does sound not work in either ? [21:09] * xenos requests ppls opinion: Which is your fav. mp3 player? [21:09] afallenhope: that's really weird - I've got pretty much the default install. [21:09] Boohbah: just googling or are there any better tools to figure that out? [21:09] http://paste.ubuntu.com/14618/ [21:09] paolo: In short, they all live in the same repository. The difference is in which default packages that you install. [21:09] oldcpu, as i said. I set all my sound preferences to alsa. Sound works fine, but when I click on 'Test', i will get an error [21:09] is the a nice linux cli tool for issuing sell commands to several machine at once on a local network ? [21:10] xenos: software? [21:10] can anyone help me figure out what to do with this error? [21:10] shell^ [21:10] thingfish: I found it ,.. had to edit my menu [21:10] woli, hhmmm.... if works . don't fix it [21:10] Boohbah: yup, software [21:10] is the a nice linux cli tool for issuing SHELL commands to several machine at once on a local network ? [21:10] afallenhope: cool [21:10] How do I get talk to operate on Ubutnu Server [21:10] Fegis: lspci -v [21:10] I'm doing all of this because Skype says 'Problem with audio playback' [21:10] Fegis: then plugin the line for your card to google [21:10] I just need to update the card [21:10] Boohbah: oki, thanks [21:10] woli, ok ... I never use Skype ... so I'll bow out here [21:10] xenos: amarok [21:11] oldcpu, I know it will be very confident to ask you this, but could you test skype to see if it works for you? [21:11] woli, sorry ... more bloat :) ... not interested [21:11] no problem... [21:12] Hey all. [21:12] HELLO [21:12] !hello | manixtate [21:12] manixtate: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [21:12] thingfish: have you updated your gfx card / [21:12] like the driver [21:12] white screen of death [21:12] I installed ubuntu hardy,fresh and clean. Installed ubuntustudio packages. reboot it works.. I went to ati.com downloaded the linux drivers installed it with "sudo sh" and rebooted. then the scren was blank after login, compiz is disabled. I have a ATI 9800XT. this is my /var/log/Xorg.0.log -> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d35ea7044 linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-17-rt is already installed [21:13] afallenhope: what do you mean [21:13] is anyone here familiar with the rt3 driver? [21:13] oh I see [21:13] thingfish: what gfx card you running? [21:13] the proprietary ati drivers provided by ubuntu they don't support some effects of compiz. I want enable compiz when this works... [21:13] D4s0tt0c4t: yeah I am [21:13] afallenhope: nvidia 8600GT [21:13] I've been having some performance issues running Hardy with xfce. Occasional freezing, and a stuttering mouse pointer. Anyone have any tips on how to improve it? Things ran fine with Gutsy as I recall. [21:13] thingfish: oh.. have you been to the site and updated the driver to make sure you have the latest/ [21:13] D4s0tt0c4t: I have it running my USB dongle atm [21:14] afallenhope: no, I'm just going to use the ubuntu-provided one. [21:14] afallenhope: thank you, I'm having a time getting my edimax 7318 to initialize [21:14] thingfish: might want to update it.. [21:14] hey guys, i need some help. I'm trying to install my Dazzle Digital Video Creator 80 on Ubuntu Hardy 64bit. After doing some searching online, I've figured out that the driver that will make this thing work is the usbvision driver at http://usbvision.sourceforge.net/ [21:14] afallenhope: I used the aircrack wiki tutorial to to install it [21:14] Now my question is, how do I actually install this driver? [21:14] D4s0tt0c4t: okay.. there's two ways of doing it.... 1.) use ndiswrapper 2.) adhanced driver [21:14] anyone, anyone? [21:14] I have never installed a driver in Ubuntu before, well, other than the restricted device drivers [21:14] fff [21:14] i just dl'd the tar and did a make make install [21:15] D4s0tt0c4t: yeah.. so you're using it for "illegal" purposes... send me a PM I'll tell you how to fix it [21:15] Have updated to hardy and can't get digital camera to connect, is there a channel for this enquiry pls? [21:15] afallenhope: no I'm not I just used backtrack and aircrack is the only experience i have [21:15] afallenhope: but everything is here in my own lab [21:15] guys is there a skype package for Linux? [21:15] for Ubuntu? [21:15] ubuntu indeed [21:16] !skype | homeuser [21:16] homeuser: To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto [21:16] you need to get the enhanced driver [21:16] I'm running the realtime kernel on a Presario R3000, 1Gig ram, ATI Mob. Radeon 9600, and B a broadcom network card. [21:16] D4s0tt0c4t: the version I know that works is 3.0 [21:16] ubottu: cool. thanks. :) [21:16] homeuser: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [21:16] hi [21:16] uh, how do I check if I have 8.04 or 7.10 ? I have several computers and i have forgotten which ones I've upgraded [21:16] aleks: were you using the same kernel with gutsy? [21:17] how to install the cube ?! [21:17] !compiz | abed [21:17] abed: Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion [21:17] Does anybody know what might cause choppy/stuttery audio playback? it occurs in all applications, and it isn't a terribly stutter. Probably a single quick stutter every few minutes or so [21:17] dmsuperman: scheduling latency [21:17] abed - do you have compiz already running? [21:18] No Boohbah. I did a clean install originally, and the problems were a lot worse/more frequent. Then someone suggested I switch to the RT kernel, and I tried it. It seemed to improve things a little bit. But only a very little bit. [21:18] I get this error with pulseaudio in /var/log. X11 doesn't seem to boot fully, all that happens is my wallpaper appears and nothing more. Any ideas what I should do? [21:18] http://paste.ubuntu.com/14618/ [21:18] I installed ubuntu hardy,fresh and clean. Installed ubuntustudio packages. reboot it works.. I went to ati.com downloaded the linux drivers installed it with "sudo sh" and rebooted. then the scren was blank after login, compiz is disabled. I have a ATI 9800XT. this is my /var/log/Xorg.0.log -> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d35ea7044 linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-17-rt is already installed [21:18] Boohbah, what does that mean? [21:19] Boohbah, I don't think it's hardware, everything in this machine is pretty fast. That, and windows has no issues with it [21:19] Hi, I'm trying to get my mobile broadband to work on ubuntu with "vodafon mobile connect card driver for linux". After some work I managed to be able to start the program and get it to identify my USB-modem. However, I seem to only be able to send text messages with it and I'm not able to connect to the internet with it. Can someone give me som ideas/instructions on how to fix this? [21:19] aleks: realtime kernel is useful for certain things, like low latency audio. press a key on your midi controller and the sound comes out. but not as useful for general audio playback [21:20] Boohbah: Excuse my jumping in, but why is the RT kernel not useful for audio playback? [21:21] http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/pulse-glitch-free.html [21:21] Is adding "/Folding/fah6 -forceasm -verbosity 9" to /etc/rc.local a bad idea? [21:22] Ah, that would make sense Boohbah. I am not too well educated on the whole rt vs. generic thing. But do you think it is part of the overall problem? [21:22] * The buffer size should be as large as possible to minimize the risk of drop-outs. [21:22] * The buffer size should be as small as possible to guarantee minimal latencies. [21:23] Does the amd64 livecd have ndiswrapper on it? [21:23] Boohbah: the raid should be supported with sata_nv-driver... [21:23] can I load that somehow? [21:24] Steve-cal: the audio buffers are smaller so increased rsik of drop out when playing a large sound file [21:24] Ah, that's a helpful link Boohbah. I don't do a lot of audio stuff, just a simple podcast, but I do have a musician friend that might find this useful. [21:24] How do I run an executable via the commandline? [21:24] can someone help me with firefox 3.0, It won't let me open applications, I always have to save them then open them. When I go to edit>preferences>applications it is blank. What can I do? [21:24] ./executable [21:24] Boohbah: "rsik of drop out"? What is rsik please? [21:25] Need help with remote disk access. [21:25] wthex, ? [21:25] Hello. Could somebody tell me how to open a .sitx file? help.ubuntu claims that "Ubuntu can read .sit, .sitx, .zip, .tar, .gz, .tar.gz, .bzip and a number of other archive formats." but I don't know how... [21:25] anyone else, how can I use sata_nv-drivers when I install? [21:25] hey there. I'm having a problem with my 8.04. It seems to be a little unstable lately. Whenever I do something that would make save dialog box pop up, the entire program sometimes shuts down completely without warning. It especially happens on Firefox if I choose to save images from websites like Deviantart and such. When I play an emulator (ZSNES), sometimes the sound doesn't work and the entire top taskbar freezes over to [21:25] I have a freeagent drive connected to another computer on my home network and would like to access it from my laptop. [21:26] wthex, is the drive/folder shared out? [21:26] That is one of the problems I not sure how to set permission. [21:27] wthex, what os is the remote computer running? [21:27] guys I"m running Hardy Heron as reported by gnome's about. Anyboyd have experience with apt-get xubuntu-desktop on this platform? [21:27] Linux... Ubuntu (hardy) [21:27] http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/pulse-glitch-free.html [21:29] wthex, go to the remote computer, open a file browser, select the top level folder you want to share, right click and share [21:29] Boohbah: There is no "rsik" on that webpage... [21:29] Hello. Could somebody tell me how to open a .sitx file? help.ubuntu claims that "Ubuntu can read .sit, .sitx, .zip, .tar, .gz, .tar.gz, .bzip and a number of other archive formats." but I don't know how... [21:29] wthex, or you could use ssh to access the the remote computer [21:30] wthex, sudo aptitude install ssh [21:30] pegasos, What happens when you try to open it? [21:30] thehurley, when I do that I get an error [21:30] and the error is? [21:30] StealthCP: it asks me what program I want to open it in [21:30] 'net' usershare' returned error 255: net usershare: cannot open usershare directory /var/lib/samba/usershares. Error Permission denied. You do not have permission to create a suershare. Ask your administrator to grant you permissions to create a share. [21:30] hmm, you'll need to install support for sitx then, sec [21:30] I tried to search apt for sitx but got no results [21:30] Does anyone know if I can use xrandr to switch off/on my second external monitor? [21:30] Is there a way to install a 64-bit kernel under 32-bit ubuntu without rolling my own? [21:31] well, don't bother. My skype works now! [21:31] Is there anything like imagemagick but for audio? I would like to apply some filters and stuff to a couple of mp3's before I burn them to a CD. Anyone have any tips? [21:31] woli congrats [21:31] Alan: nit really [21:31] Does run-parts follow symlinks? [21:32] kitche, shame :( [21:32] Is it possible to display one side of compiz cube on each monitor in a multimonitor setup? [21:32] that might really be a question to ask in #compiz-fusion if no one can help you here. [21:33] thanks, emma [21:33] pegasos, all I can find is [21:33] sure. :) [21:33] http://www.stuffit.com/unix/stuffit/index.html [21:33] which is not probably the best solution [21:33] hi, have a problem after running aticonfig... windows seem to using the "main taskbar" as their toolbar... is there any way to disable this? [21:33] his is a windows question? [21:34] no [21:34] thehurley: I will also need to be able to access that disk from a Vista OS. [21:34] it is a question about windows in ubuntu [21:34] StealthCP: okay, thanks for the help anyways. I wonder if this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwitchingToUbuntu/FromMacOSX should be edited to "Ubuntu can run .sitx but nobody knows how to"? :D === tafsen_ is now known as tafsen [21:34] That's what I saw too :) [21:34] interesting [21:35] emma: i still get the same error ... [21:35] hey guys, i need help installing the usbvision driver, Ive never installed a driver before...please help? [21:35] Does anyone know the normal memory usage for kde xorg? [21:35] babo: with what? [21:35] Mine is currently over 900mb, and it feels like it's a bit too high [21:35] why has my firefox window gone completely grey? [21:36] It's processing something and denied you access, AcornAcorn [21:36] So I'm a computer tech, but am somewhat new to Linux and am interested in using Ubuntu as a home-based server for file-sharing and remote access, as well as a game-server. I was able to complete the setup but the GRUB would not install itself and I'm not sure why. My specs are as follows: Two Intel Xeon Processors at 2.8 Ghz each, 1 GB RAM, and a Promise SX6000 RAID controller (hardware based, it is plugged into a PCI [21:36] AcornAcorn: Maybe it has gotten old? :( [21:36] Can you use vnc for remote desktop controling? [21:36] emma: ffmpeg -i vid.mp4 f.avi [21:36] Unsupported codec (id=86018) for input stream #0.0 [21:36] wthex, sorry, i'm unsure what the problem is [21:36] uhh, I'm trying to upgrade gdm on my laptop and it just hangs (Ubuntu 8.04) [21:36] babo: oh, so if i'm uploading something to a website it stops me from doing anything? [21:36] babo: let's be very clear.. you are running Hardy or Gutsy? [21:37] emma: gutsy. I've replaced the hardy package with the gutsy package and ran update and upgrade ... [21:37] babolat: oh, so if i'm uploading something to a website it stops me from doing anything? [21:37] thehurley, thanks for your interest. I believe I need to set permissions for accessing that directory, but don't remember how (been a long time since I have run Linux) [21:37] i also ran ldconfig just for in case ... [21:37] AcornAcorn - you might want to enable hardy-proposed the new kernel solves a lot of those types of issues [21:38] AcornAcorn: it probably is doing that because you're uploading a large file. which version are you using? [21:38] babolat: yes, a large file, 3 beta 5 [21:38] X just dies on me the third time since hardy has been receiving updates. *sigh* [21:38] babo I see. [21:38] wthex, you definitely installed samba? [21:38] AcornAcorn: how long has it been at it? the greying [21:38] zaraz [21:38] Yes... [21:39] babo: when you open a terminal and type: sudo apt-get install ffmpeg what does it say? [21:39] babo: does it tell you that you already have the most recent version? [21:39] I have messed up an X configuration after adding a new graphics card. How can I get to the X configuration again? The display at present is not usable, so I need to get to some sort of "fail safe" session. [21:39] Using Feisty. [21:40] babolat: oh, it was only grey until the upload finished [21:40] emma: yeah. but when i run it, it tells me that ... [21:40] configuration: --enable-shared --enable-libmp3lame --enable-gpl --disable-mmx [21:40] thehurley, the command 'net usershare' is samba command. [21:40] jhaig: ctrl+alt+f1? [21:40] AcornAcorn: that's really not a big problem. final release of ver3 should be more stable than beta [21:40] lr5: Thanks. I can get to that, but then how to configure X? [21:40] emma: that's my original configuration that i got from svn for the old ffmpeg methinks ... [21:41] emma: it should be configured with more than that right ? [21:41] jhaig: nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf [21:41] Maybe what we should focus on is how to set permission for that folder. [21:41] babo -- try uninstalling ti and then installing with sudo apt-get install ffmepg ? [21:41] jhaig: or vim, whichever you prefer [21:41] where do i start if i want to hunt down the culprit of X window's crashing? [21:41] babo - for what you want to do: convert mp4 to avi you might want to try: sudo apt-get install avidemux [21:41] babolat: does that happen when you enter a site in firefox? [21:42] babo whats up? [21:42] no, lr5 [21:42] babolat - /var/log/Xorg.0.log [21:42] emma: i've tried that, it won't open the files ... [21:42] emma: sudo apt-get update | grep media [21:42] it happens as randomly as i can imagine it can lr5 [21:42] nothing [21:42] usser: issues with ffmpeg, can't get it to convert mp4 -> avi [21:42] lr5: I was rather hoping that I would be able to boot up in a recovery mode with a minimal graphics setting. When I booted up immediately after adding the card it did that but now I have "configured" it it is messed up. [21:42] babo, if u had ffmpeg installed before u did mediubuntu then u have to purge its support packages as well apt-get install ffmpeg will not be enough [21:42] can anyone help me or is there some kind of protocol that I've failed to read somewhere...=) [21:42] hey I'm having problems with in-put/out-put. I can't here sound from my web browser when I pause my music player. I have to restart the computer and leave the music player closed. [21:43] babo - sorry then I'm at a loss. I don't know enough about ffmpeg or converting mp4 to avi. [21:43] Would Ubuntu Server edition have xattr support out of the box? [21:43] thehurley, Thanks for your interest but I have to go... [21:43] for ext43 filesystems? [21:43] ext3, rather [21:43] babo: so try sudo apt-get remove --purge ffmpeg [21:43] emma: ah ok. It's definitely bringing ffmpeg from the media repo. But the new ffmpeg can't convert either ... :-( [21:43] babo: and then sudo apt-get install ffmpeg [21:43] I think i'll go to svn ... [21:44] babo: ahh shoot. [21:44] babo, ie sudo dpkg --purge ffmpeg libavcodec1d libavformat1d libavutil1d libpostproc1d libswscale1d [21:44] If i open vlc player or any other program, the main menu (Application, Places & System) with the programs own options. It seemed to happen right after i ran "aticonfig --initial=dual-head --screen-layout=top" i have my TV connected as external monitor. Any idea if it can be fixed? [21:45] babo, and then assuming u followed the steps on medibuntu site do apt-get install ffmpeg [21:45] anyone knows how to get into the cherokee web configuration in Hardy? [21:45] hi all [21:45] sorry, the main menu options are replaced, with that of the program* [21:45] could someone tell me plz how to make a line start automatically ev [21:45] erytime I run linux plz [21:45] babo, all those lib files are from ubuntu's standard repo and dont get reinstalled automatically [21:45] Dahita: what line? [21:45] usser: yeah, ffmpeg from media is definitely installed. but it won't run the conversion ... [21:46] sudo modprobe ath_pci [21:46] babo, are u sure? pastebin dpkg -l | grep ffmpeg [21:46] !info cherokee | lImItaO [21:46] limitao: cherokee (source: cherokee): extremely fast and flexible web server. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.5.6-4 (hardy), package size 219 kB, installed size 672 kB [21:46] babo: how are you trying to do the conversion? [21:46] it s very annoying, it s in order to get internet to work properly [21:46] ffmpeg -i vid.mp4 f.avi [21:46] Chousuke, ^ [21:46] lImItaO: so you should be able to open a terminal and type: sudo apt-get install cherokee [21:46] babo: that won't work [21:46] Dahita: add "ath_pci" to /etc/modules [21:46] (without the " marks) [21:46] great thx [21:47] Chousuke, huh ? [21:47] I m totally new (tried linux since yesterday night) [21:47] emma: i already installed Cherokee, but i want to enter in the web configuration [21:47] how can I do that plz? [21:47] babo: you will need to specify parameters. [21:47] babo: first of all, most likely you will need to re-encode the video and audio in the file [21:47] babo: what format is it? [21:47] Dahita: gksudo gedit /etc/modules (in applications > accessories > terminal) [21:47] Chousuke, but the error it gives is ... [21:47] Unsupported codec (id=86018) for input stream #0.0 [21:47] thx I'm gonna try it right now [21:47] Chousuke, mp4 [21:48] babo: that's just the container [21:48] babo: I meant the video [21:48] so I just add it to the list [21:48] is it h.264, divx or what? [21:48] Chousuke, i dunno, i thought it was mp4 ? how do i find out then ? [21:48] People, how to install eclipse (64 bits) + PDT (Php development tools) ? [21:48] like Fuse, lp, rtc etc etc [21:48] I wonder [21:48] Does run-parts follow symlinks? [21:48] babo, can u pastebin the output of dpkg -l | grep ffmpeg? [21:48] does the ati raedon 7200 64mb video card work with ubuntu? [21:49] ommegang, yes it does [21:49] hey guys, I have a question, Im running ubuntu 8.04, and have a dazzle dvc-80, which is said to be supported by usbvision...what do I need to do to capture video from my video camera? just plug the camera into the capture device, and plug that into my computer usb? or do I have to install the usbvision driver? I'm a little lost.... [21:49] hello [21:49] usser: sorry. ... yeah I'm sure ... http://pastebin.com/m2dc24d7c [21:49] i cant get ubuntu to install. i am thinking the mobo's screwed. [21:49] why do the ubuntu desktop effects need xserver-xgl? [21:49] thx Starnestommy [21:49] i use the opensource radeon drivers which support aiglx, i dont want xgl [21:49] Chousuke, mp4 isn't the format ? [21:49] join #ivanovo [21:49] babo: no, "mp4" is a file extension [21:50] Chousuke, file extensions usually denote file formats though right ? [21:50] babo: the "format" is probably an MPEG-4 container with a video stream (possibly h.264) an an audio stream (AAC 5.1 or AC3 or...) [21:50] gfxstyler: xserver-xgl can use aiglx, iirc [21:50] babo: not in this case. [21:50] babo: the only thing it tells you is the container, and that doesn't get you very far. [21:51] babo, everything seems fine [21:51] usser: aye, thanks [21:51] Can anyone recommend a URL (or other resource) to help me decide on a laptop to buy that will be easily compatible with Ubuntu Hardy? [21:51] babo: can you paste the entire output of the ffmpeg command when you run it? [21:52] !ot | PaulATL [21:52] PaulATL: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [21:52] babo, hm thats interesting ffmpeg -formats shows that only encoding to mp4 is supported no decoding [21:52] Starnestommy: is it fast? i mean xserver-xgl [21:52] babolat: that's not OT. [21:52] Chousuke, file vid.mp4 -> vid.mp4: ISO Media, MPEG v4 system, version 2 [21:52] Starnestommy: i just head aiglx is faster than xgl [21:52] PaulATL: I use a ThinkPad R61i, and everything, just works... [21:52] gfxstyler: it's very fast for me [21:52] Sorry - did not know this was off topic. I was asking about compatibility. [21:52] babo: that doesn't tell enough. [21:52] orudie [21:52] idiot question: howto mount floppy via command line? [21:52] my computer running hardy won't load nin.com at all, but every other computer on my network will [21:52] PaulATL: You weren't OT, really. [21:53] Chousuke, the entire thing ? what about just the first page ? [21:53] !hcl | PaulATL [21:53] PaulATL: 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 [21:53] Chousuke: thanks! [21:53] salve [21:53] PaulATL: you might want to google for "ubuntu laptop support" or something too. [21:53] babo: first page? there isn't that much text is there? [21:53] Yeah... the google searches don't turn up much that's helpful. [21:53] Will check the wikis [21:53] babo: use pastebin, it doesn't matter if it's a bit long [21:54] PaulATL: Just avoid laps with too many hardware control buttons, like many HP models. [21:54] i need to swtich from i686 to i386 in order to be able to connect to the net, which means I need to download all the packages I need for i386 from another computer and put them on a flash drive. How do I identify all that I need? [21:54] Chousuke, it's about 9 pages ... [21:54] hm. shouldn't be [21:54] babo: anyway, paste it all [21:54] on pastebin, please. [21:54] Chousuke, all it does is gives a list of switches ... [21:54] Baltazaar: thanks, I'll be sure to watch for that [21:55] babo: ah [21:55] Chousuke, it goes off the terminal. i can't even paste it all ... [21:55] babo: well that would be it then. [21:55] babo: your command is just wrong :9 [21:55] babo: try something like ffmpeg -i file.mp4 -f avi file.avi [21:55] Chousuke, which ffmpeg -> /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg [21:56] ariqs: why do you need to use i386 packages since they are the same as i686 really [21:56] babo: no, I mean, ffmpeg doesn't work as simply as you'd like it to [21:56] hi everyone! i'm trying to access the internet on my ubuntu comp and all my attempts thus far have failed. i got the drivers on my wireless card working so that i can view my wireless network but when i enter the password it doesn't seem to be working. i tried downloading wpagui but it's not letting me do anything... any help? [21:56] babo: you need to give it the proper options so it can do the transcoding [21:56] PaulATL: I would seriously consider Lenovo/IBM ThinkPads. They're just great. Solid and well thought out design. Looks a bit 90's, but works like horses... [21:56] kitche: my modem's drivers are only packaged for i386 [21:56] ariqs: so you can still use i686 and i386 together really [21:56] hi, anyone here using compiz with fusion icon and on nvidia ? [21:57] Chousuke, it just gives the same result ... [21:57] kitche: how? I got the i386 package that has my modems driver and it's not working right now [21:57] babo: well I really can't help you then :/ [21:57] Chousuke, aye, thanks anyway ... [21:58] babo: you'll need to read the docs more thoroughly to find out how to use ffmpeg [21:58] and now the dork left, cute [21:58] Chousuke, i don't think it's a command thing. i think it's a codec thing ... [21:59] can i instal my webcam on ubuntu? [21:59] !webcam | tha_infamoous [21:59] tha_infamoous: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [21:59] Hi! i cant get GSynaptics to work. i have a laptop dell xps m1530 [21:59] babo: if it gives you the usage listing it's a problem with the command [22:00] before desktop linux is ever going to become the slightest bit adopted by the mainstream, it's going to have to actually support a hell of a lot more networking hardware without dicking around for days [22:00] babo: anyway, you can copypaste from the terminal. just scroll up [22:00] it says i have to add shmconfig set to true.. ive doen that but it wont help [22:00] babo: there's a scrollbar :P [22:00] ariqs: do you perchance have a USB ADSL modem? [22:00] i need to switch from i686 to i386 in order to be able to connect to the net, which means I need to download all the packages I need for i386 from another computer and put them on a flash drive. How do I identify all that I need? [22:00] ariqs: also known as a piece of poo :P [22:00] ariqs: your offtopic comment just shows how little you understand about the constraints under which developers of a Free operating system operate [22:01] Hi, how can I know which video driver I'm using ? [22:01] soundray ubottu [22:01] Can anyone help me please? i can't run GSynaptics for my touchpad.... [22:01] i run ubuntu 8.04 [22:01] ariqs: what do you mean from i686 to i386? [22:01] soundray: I stated pure reality. Perhaps the developers have the cards stacked against them, but it's still true [22:01] aaBlueDragon: perhaps you have an Alps touchpad rather than a synaptics one [22:01] can anyone tell me if the stock hardy kernel(s) are smp capable? I just realized that only one core is being recognized by 2.6.24-16-386 [22:01] Evening everyone [22:01] ariqs: there's no "i686" [22:02] ariqs: Well at least Linux comes with a full money back guarantee--I think you should demand a refund. :) [22:02] hey whatsup guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [22:02] ariqs: you don't need to switch all your packages around. You just need a kernel that matches the driver you are trying to load [22:02] where's the repo file? anybody? [22:02] ariqs: anyway, please answer. Is this a USB ADSL modem? [22:02] Chousuke: uname -m i686 [22:03] Gumby: As far as I know running it on a dualcore shouldnt be a problem. I know it's working great for me atleast. [22:03] no, it's not [22:03] Chousuke: no, it's a winmodem (Conexant chipset) [22:03] aahrgghgjk [22:03] ? [22:03] soundray: same thing [22:03] ariqs: word of advice: go buy real networking gear. [22:03] soundray: so but the new kernel has dependencies [22:03] ariqs: the thing you have now is a piece of shit [22:03] Chousuke: no, an ADSL modem is something very different from a POTS modem [22:04] Chousuke, yeah, it's off the scroll bar even ... [22:04] nm got it [22:04] soundray: well if it's a winmodem it's the same. ie. crap [22:04] Chousuke: and please use appropriate language here, some people need to use this channel professionally. [22:04] Chousuke: both the modems i've had problem with are the most stable modems in windows. The crap hardware I have seems to work fine in ubuntu, funny that ;P [22:04] !language | Chousuke [22:04] Chousuke: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [22:04] soundray: yeah, yeah. I simply have no love for winmodems. [22:05] ariqs: you're trying to use windows-only hardware. that's not going to work [22:05] mahrellon: strange. which kernel are you using? [22:05] ariqs: you will go through pain every time you upgrade. [22:05] Chousuke: they aren't that bad. If vendors were to open the specs, they could be used much more flexibly than standalone modems. [22:05] ariqs: please go buy something that's supported. [22:06] Chousuke, there are open source drivers for it, they're just not packaged for i686, and they're a mess. [22:06] ariqs: it's for your own good, really. (I speak of experience) [22:06] Chousuke, I'm not dumping money on this nonsense OS ;p [22:06] ariqs: no, the drivers aren't open source [22:06] Gah, conexants [22:06] anyway for me to boot off another user? while I am root? [22:06] Hi [22:06] soundray, then why can I actually see the source files? [22:06] Sorry, wrong channel. [22:06] ariqs: Who said about dumping money on Ubuntu? I see it as investing in your own health. [22:06] Soundray you were right. XPS m1530 does use an Alps touchpad [22:07] I'm wondering why my sound died after i updated my linux. I tried to reinstall the alsa mixer packages and even pulse audio but it's to no good outcome anyone have any ideas ? [22:07] anyone know of a good software for alps touchpads??? [22:07] silencedbear: you probably need the backports modules [22:07] ariqs: the conexant drivers contain proprietary modules, and as such are not truly open source. [22:07] how do I exit GDM session into a console? [22:07] silencedbear: which kernel? [22:07] ariqs: seeing the source doesn't mean it's open source ( = freely distributable) [22:07] Ctrl+Alt+Backspace only restarts it [22:07] ariqs: if they were, they'd already be part of the linux kernel. [22:07] ekontsevoy: Select Console Login [22:07] hello [22:08] anyone here [22:08] oh [22:08] genii: thanks, lemme try [22:08] ariqs: trying to get your modem working is simply not worth the pain. [22:08] aaBlueDragon: tpconfig supports Alps (much more basic than gsynaptics, unfortunately) [22:08] !info tpconfig | aaBlueDragon [22:08] aabluedragon: tpconfig (source: tpconfig): configure touchpad devices. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.1.3-9 (hardy), package size 59 kB, installed size 200 kB [22:08] OMG how do u get Compiz to work [22:09] ariqs: besides, you're doing it wrong anyway [22:09] THANKS! [22:09] Chousuke, oh, really? how should I go about it then? [22:09] I'm having IP problems that seem to be above the scope of my understanding. Trying to get hardy and gibbon machines to ping each other. Hardy has two interfaces, eth0 and eth1, with static ips 192.168.1.200 and 192.168.1.201. Gibbon has 192.168.1.100. I get network host unreachable. Running shorewall on Gibbon (but the rules are cleared right now), and as far as I can tell, nothing is running on Hardy. What's going on? [22:09] silencedbear: enable backports repo in synaptic and then install the linux-ubuntu-modules for your kernel [22:09] ariqs: you're not supposed to change your kernel. you're supposed to take the binary+source and compile the module yourself [22:09] it won't compile you dolt ;P [22:09] i tried that first [22:09] Gumby, 2.6.12-10-686-smp [22:09] ariqs: well then you're screwed [22:09] no, i need to switch to i386 [22:10] ariqs: no, you don't [22:10] as I've been asking about from the start [22:10] ariqs: that won't work either. [22:10] yes it will [22:10] Hm... I tried terminal login in GDM menu but it was "failsafe" terminal - I want normal login, but.. hold on - I simply want to kill GDM and be in a terminal. How do I do that? [22:10] there are packaged drivers for i383 [22:10] storm-zen: Set default gateway to be one of the adapter IPs [22:10] ariqs: it will break every time there's a kernel upgrade. [22:10] like I said from the start [22:10] how to compile kde [22:10] Is anyone here on dial up modem? If so, what modem do you have? 3 now I've tried to no avail!! [22:10] i386 rather [22:10] ekontsevoy: do "ctrl+alt+f1" [22:10] is there anyone here with experience with wpagui/wpa_supplicant that can help me? [22:10] ariqs: you need the kernel for which they are compiled, that's all [22:11] soundray: and its dependencies, right? [22:11] Gumby, Sorry m8. Was afk a bit there hehe. I'm on the 2.6.24-16-generic [22:11] my ubuntu 7.1 won't run from live cd [22:11] ariqs: the kernel has no dependencies. [22:11] ekontsevoy: login there. so stop GDM do: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop" [22:11] Odd-rationale: that's different - that will switch me to another text-based process. I want to shut XOrg and Compiz and GDM down and just sit in text console. [22:11] ariqs: kernel packages don't have many dependencies [22:11] can anyone talk to me about that? [22:11] genii: That's a little too generic for me. I have a linksys router/firewall at 192.168.1.1 that I'm using for default gateway. [22:11] : i saw dependencies [22:11] mahrellon: allrighty. I'll see if that one works for me :) thanks [22:11] Odd-rationale: lemme try that! [22:11] Gumby, and my CPU is a P4 EM64 x64 (Kernel is x32) [22:11] Gumby, Anytime m8 and good luck :) [22:12] Gumby, How would i do that i have synaptic opened. [22:12] ariqs: I would guess you need to just install linux-image-something-generic and boot to it. [22:12] ariqs: and most dependencies between different kernel packages will be identical [22:12] storm-zen: Did you set the 192.168.1.1 as the deafult gateway then in the static configs? [22:12] genii, yes. [22:12] ariqs: what's the full name of the kernel modules package that has the driver you need? [22:13] genii: Although the gibbon is using DHCP, I'm on the gibbon talking on IRC. [22:13] storm-zen: Have you set 192.168.1.255 as the broadcast address? [22:13] any help? When im running tpconfig it says: Found Synaptics Touchpad [22:13] and nothing happens [22:13] I've been vurring a bit too much in synaptic I think. Nautilus (haven't encountered another app) is not showing some fonts; http://images.gammatester.com/pics/0a6949bbf78f8b6038a39bdb478492e8.png Anyone hever had this or knows how to solve it? [22:13] http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-16-386 has the driver I need [22:13] ariqs: sudo aptitude install linux-image-2.6.24-16-386 [22:13] I can't do that [22:13] ariqs: why? [22:13] because I need the driver to connect to the net [22:14] I hve that image anyway [22:14] genii: Not intentionally, but that is the broadcast that shows in both Gibbon and Hardy. [22:14] on a flash drive [22:14] Hi! I'm looking for help with a squashfs error on install. I get an "unable to read page" message. [22:14] but it has depedencies [22:14] ariqs: so get the dependancies and also put them on the flash drive? [22:14] ariqs: it should have no dependencies that you don't have [22:14] storm-zen: From the gutsy box can you ping any of the two IPs on the other? [22:14] gumby: I first came in here asking about what those were [22:14] ariqs: what happens when you run dpkg -i on the .deb file? [22:15] Anyone here on dial-up? [22:15] ariqs: pastebin the output from Chousuke's suggestion please [22:15] I was double clicking on the package to install it, not sure. I'll have to go boot that machine up to see [22:15] genii: I get Destination host unreachable. [22:15] genii: That's what kills me. [22:15] ariqs: are you sure it's the correct version though? [22:15] ariqs: forget pastebin, you'd need internet for that of course [22:15] ariqs: not from another ubuntu version or something? [22:16] Sup? [22:16] Hey [22:16] How do i install the linux-ubuntu-modules ? [22:16] storm-zen: The IPs are being semi-statically set from the router, according to MAC of nics involved? [22:17] So, what are you talking about? [22:17] IThe Intel 815EM is not detected correctly under hardy on my Sony Vaio PCG-FX503. It was correctly detected under Gutsy... What can I do ? [22:17] mahrellon: ah of course, iwas using 386 kernel and not generic. doh! [22:17] genii: No, on hardy, I set the IPs with the network config tool. [22:17] ariqs: because the only deps the kernel image has are packages which you already must have. if you didn't, the system wouldn't even boot! [22:17] On gibbon, it is getting its ip from the Linksys box. [22:17] hola no se nada como instalo messenger windows 8 [22:17] SUP? [22:17] I've been cutting a bit too much with synaptic I think.

[22:30] gregL: why don't you want X starting at startup? [22:30] genii: That didn't help. Maybe Hardy needs to be rebooted. [22:31] gregL: You can choose "recovery mode" at boot and get single-user mode (just one user, root) [22:31] does ubuntu livecd have a dvd player?

I was wrong on that, my bad. However, even with linux-image-2.6.24-16-386, the drivers don't seem to be working [22:33] gregL: Oh, OK. In that case, open a terminal and type sudo runlevel 3 [22:33] jean_: try to make your screen section look more like this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14639/ then save and close the file and restart X [22:33] gregL: I think. If that doesn't work, try sudo init 3 [22:33] gregL: Sorry, I'm sort of rusty :-) [22:33] reconfiguring x on hardy heron only shows keyboard options? [22:33] any client of GIT on ubuntu ?

[22:52] james__: gotta love 'em [22:52] blizzardman1219_: Your wifi works under Windows, I assume?

[22:53] hey again all [22:53] julle_: sure, no problem [22:53] problem: [22:53] hello [22:54] Hello, room [22:54] after fighting all day long I finally made it to install nvid [22:54] ia drivers [22:54] blizzardman1219_: have you connected to your wifi network under windows before? that is, without using an ethernet cord? [22:54] problem is I am stuck in 640/480 no matter what [22:54] and I can t chage it [22:54] furthermore it s really hard because the desktop is rea [22:54] mib_ih7x99: yes, on my windows computer (which i'm on right now) all i've ever used is my wireless network [22:55] What exactly is the tracker search tool for ? [22:55] lly small and the nvidia window is big [22:55] anyone has an idea of what s going on? [22:55] rc.local doesn't execute till the user logs in, where else can I put commands, so that they will startup when ubuntu starts up. [22:55] blizzardman1219_: What version of Windows do you have? XP or Vista, or something else? [22:55] rym: the search toolbar [22:55] mib_ih7x99: vista [22:55] I don t getit because my monitor is recognized [22:55] idefine: Look up information about runlevels.

[22:56] mib_ih7x99 found anything for the traffic monitoring yet? [22:56] Hello, Room [22:57] james__: Ifstat seems to work [22:57] nice [22:57] Starnestommy, yeah, cause it doesnt really return any search results, no matter what i enter [22:57] blizzardman1219_: WPA (1 or 2)? AES or TKIP? [22:57] blizzardman1219_: If you have the exact correct information from Windows, and it doesn't work under Ubuntu, then we need to figure out how to get your card working. [22:58] Any mutt users here? (#mutt is asleep) [22:58] hello [22:58] I just scanned a machine with nmap and found that it's running vnc-http and x11. How do I connect to these? [22:58] !hi | BP-64672 [22:58] BP-64672: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [22:58] Okay, when i first installed postfix it worked fine, i coudl send emails internally and externally. After I restart the computer I could still send internally, but nto externally. This is the error message I got in the postqueue [22:59] mib_ih7x99: security type: WPA-personal, encryption type: TKIP [22:59] (Host or domain name not found. Name service error for name=tpg.com.au type=MX: Host not found, try again) [22:59] I've tried just going to the machine on the vnc-http port but nothing popped up. [22:59] also, when i ran dig tpg.com.au MX it returned nothing [22:59] janiel: are you still here? [22:59] blizzardman1219_: OK, same as mine. Under Ubuntu, specifically choose TKIP instead of Automatic, and choose `show WPA password' so you can see that it's correctly entered. [22:59] ok I've just got to say that Hardy is awesome. Finally my 4965 works (allbeit in G mode) with out dropping all the time [23:00] james__: Yep, 804 isn't bad at all--my Lifebook's wifi card and graphics chipset work OOTB [23:01] It's a tablet PC, so I can't actually /use/ it, but details details details :-) [23:01] mib_ih7x99 it's sad when the wi-fi works better on Ubuntu than it does on Vista [23:01] hi ppl can somebody tell me how can i get realtek sound to work 5.1 sorround? [23:01] mib_ih7x99: did what you said, it still does the same thing [23:02] mib_ih7x99: it just sits there trying to connect and then it asks for my password again [23:02] blizzardman1219_: OK. Can you open up a terminal window (Alt-F2, gnome-terminal)? [23:02] vlad: what version of ubuntu do you have? [23:02] james__: i have hardy heron 8.04 [23:03] mib_ih7x99: ok i'm in a terminal window [23:03] can you paste the output of lspci -vv on pastebin [23:03] really, anyone extended desktop, is it possible?

[23:03] yeah [23:03] checking [23:03] blizzardman1219_, james__ -- don't forget lsusb :-) [23:04] mib_ih7x99 that's a new one for me [23:04] thanks man [23:04] james__: No problem. Never know how something's hooked up :-) [23:04] If i want a new theme, do i need to get a metacity theme? [23:04] this is true [23:04] vlad: is this a laptop?

[23:05] james__: desktop [23:05] that command u gave me shows a lot of stuff [23:05] do you see a volume icon in the main panel? [23:06] Okay I'm back. [23:06] yes [23:06] vlad, copy it all and pastebin.org [23:06] hey everybody. question: what lines would I add to my menu.lst in order for grub to have another partition as an option (this partition is on another hdd). When I tried, I got error 18: " selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported by BIOS" [23:06] vlad, then give me the url [23:06] blizzardman1219_: what do you see after typing `lspci -vv' ? [23:06] how can i set timezone for my ubuntu server? [23:06] mib_ih7x99: hold on one second, i'm trying to transfer it so i can pastebin it now [23:06] oh, ok [23:06] !timezone [23:06] Factoid timezone not found [23:06] blizzardman1219_: You can select it all and then middle-click somewhere else to paste, IIRC [23:06] blech_: Use the chainload example for Windows as something to go by [23:06] do I need to have the chainload line, genii? [23:07] blech_: For using the entire hd, yes [23:07] genii, okay, thank yo [23:07] u [23:07] james__: http://pastebin.org/38486 [23:07] mib_ih7x99 does etc/hosts work just like the lmhosts file on windows? [23:08] james__: I'm not sure... I think it's a similar syntax [23:08] Hey Newb here. Is there a current magazine line Tux? [23:08] james__: `man hosts' maybe? [23:08] what do u mean by line tux ? [23:08] mib_ih7x99 will do [23:08] victoroth yes sorry fat fingers [23:08] james__: did u get the url? [23:09] also, in menu.lst does spacing between command and parens matter? [23:09] Like Tux magazine [23:09] mib_ih7x99: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14641/ [23:09] i dont know ... search google [23:09] :) [23:09] hey what was the page with the known bugs / problems in the hardy beta? [23:09] vlad, yes [23:09] it had something about broadcom wireless chipsets [23:09] oki [23:09] mine still ain't workin [23:09] how can i adjust window transparency via a keyboard binding? [23:09] looking === Karter_ is now known as Karter [23:10] blizzardman1219_: Looks like the magic word for your wireless chipset is `07d1:3a08' :-) [23:10] org [23:11] blizzardman1219_: You have one of these things? http://www.spy-hill.com/help/wifi/WUA-2340.html [23:11] vlad, please sudo lspci and pastebin [23:11] mib_ih7x99: yes [23:11] OK. Have you done anything to make it work, blizzardman1219_? [23:11] Anyone ready any other magazines online or otherwise other than Linux magazine? [23:11] Anyone read any other magazines online or otherwise other than Linux magazine? [23:11] how do I install cvs? [23:11] blizzardman1219_: I mean, installing drivers or anything like that [23:12] mib_ih7x99: i have the driver successfully working, so that's no problem. i can connect to non-encrypted networks without an issue but the problem is that my network is encrypted [23:12] OK, sorry for misunderstanding :-) [23:12] xpistos i read Servo magazine it is about programming robot's [23:12] Linux Journal? [23:12] am still here === snake_ is now known as albuntu [23:13] tinin, sudo apt-get install cvs [23:13] james__: http://pastebin.org/38488 [23:13] blizzardman1219_: Did you use NDISwrapper? [23:13] mib_ih7x99: yes [23:14] looks like turning off roaming did not fix my issue [23:14] Mahr_Afk, thanx, I thought it was more complicated ;) [23:14] !cvs [23:14] cvs is the Concurrent Versions System, the dominant open-source network-transparent version control system; it helps to manage releases and to control concurrent editing of source files among multiple authors. See: https://www.cvshome.org/ [23:14] it dropped connection again [23:14] vlad, audio chip appears to be azalia [23:14] please hold [23:14] my wireless connection is still buggy and I am using ipw2200 [23:15] tinin, Anytime hehe :) [23:15] so I've been trying to figure out, where exactly does one set boot services (for scripts in init.d/ and so on)? [23:16] blizzardman1219_: OK, so I'm guessing that the problem is driverish. wpasupplicant is just a harder way of doing what NetworkManager will do for you, so I think the issue is with the driver. [23:16] mib_ih7x99: ok... so what exactly can i do? [23:17] blizzardman1219_: I'm searching for information about your specific card... just a min [23:17] blizzardman1219_: this page, , keeps showing up. Is that where you got setup information from? [23:18] Are there any articles for how to split up a hard drive between /usr, /var, /home, /boot, /opt, / ... etc? [23:18] Or like, /usr needs around xGB to function etc... [23:19] hi [23:19] vlad, sudo modprobe -c | grep hda (pastebin [23:19] Billenium: not really. but the rule of thumb I've always used is '/boot needs no more than 50mb or so; /home should get about 90% of space, and put everything else in / in what's left over from swap [23:19] unable to install nvidia 5200 drivers [23:19] mib_ih7x99: no, i was familiar with the ndiswrapper from a previous attempt so i was able to set it up myself. i did see that page already though and it i noticed that the links were broken [23:20] blizzardman1219_: yeah, that's quite helpful, isn't it :-) [23:20] okay thanks gwern :) [23:20] blizzardman1219_: Can you paste the output of `sudo iwconfig'? [23:20] mib_ih7x99: sure, just give me a sec [23:20] Billenium: for example, on my 500gb drive, I'd partition like this: /dev/sda1 = boot = 30mb; /dev/sda2 = swap = 1gb; /dev/sda3 = / = 10gb; /dev/sda4 = /home = 489gb [23:20] I got beta version of Ubuntu 8.04 and now I can't update Meta-index file for couple repositories . What do I do ? [23:20] blizzardman1219_: You might also find something useful with `sudo dmesg | grep ndis' [23:20] pawan, you shoudn't need them, the restricted drivers work great gor me [23:21] vlad, also, what the model of your mother board [23:21] alaways runs in low graphics mode [23:21] trying to use ddclient to forward my IP address to dyndns.com. ddclient is forwarding my LAN address, so basically it doesn't work from the outside. Please help! [23:21] this is annoying; so system-administration-services does seem to cover a bunch of boot services, but it omits all the ones I want to enable [23:21] do you have restricted drivers enabled pawan ? [23:21] tarelerulz : updadte it and you should be fine [23:21] no [23:22] saotome: I've actually had this same problem. You're going to want to curl or wget the output of some IP-address-revealing site and send that to your ddclient application. [23:22] it is not showing my card there [23:22] try that, see what you think [23:22] I have linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-16-386 which contains the ltmodem drivers I need. I installed the package, and I see /lib/modules/ltmodem. Within that are 3 .o files. HOwever, none of them will load with modprobe or insmod. What's up? [23:22] saotome: This command will give you your external IP address. [23:22] mib_ih7x99: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14644/ [23:22] saotome: curl -sf http://checkip.dyndns.org/|cut -d ':' -f 2|cut -d '<' -f1|sed -e 's/ //g' [23:22] mib_ih7x99, my ISP gives me a dynamic IP address, which is the whole point of using ddclient. If i give it my IP address, then wont it just stop working the next time the address refreshes? [23:23] blizzardman1219_: thanks, just a minute [23:23] james__: http://pastebin.org/38490 and mobo gigabyte GA-MA770-DS3 [23:23] mib_ih7x99, i love curling [23:23] oh I see... [23:23] should i install it manually [23:23] saotome: What I do is run a script that checks my external IP address (that script is courtesy of Quicksilver) every /n/ minutes, and updates my DNS server accordingly. [23:24] saotome: I used EveryDNS (I think) but the process is basically the same. [23:24] I have linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-16-386 which contains the ltmodem drivers I need. I installed the package, and I see /lib/modules/ltmodem. Within that are 3 .o files. HOwever, none of them will load with modprobe or insmod. What's up? [23:24] what is a good twitter client for Ubuntu [23:24] loltwitter [23:24] how to know which card i have [23:24] pawan, i didnt have to, i have a 5200, a 6100 go, a 7300, an 8600 and a 8800 all with no issues as long as i use the restricted drivers?? [23:24] hi all. is there any known fix for the Compiz memory leaks yet? After a few days it gets to ~500MB and keeps going, rendering my ubuntu pc very slow [23:24] Could someone recommend a good HTML/CSS editing/Web Page designer (that is GTK/GNOME based)? [23:24] blizzardman1219_: OK, doesn't look like iwconfig turned up anything useful. Does `sudo dmesg | grep ndis' show you anything? [23:24] hello people [23:25] vlad, it appears that azalia audio is a joint effort for HD Audio standards from Intel and a few others, the issue is that the intel module may not work... I'm researching this further [23:25] how do I determine my currect screen resolution? [23:25] vlad, this is odd as you seem to have an AMD platform [23:25] homeuser, count the pixels :) [23:25] fluffles: No! Use a ruler! :-) [23:26] mib_ih7x99, then you'd have to know the DPI :p [23:26] mib_ih7x99: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14646/ [23:26] why it is not showing my card in restricted drivres [23:26] mib_ih7x99, first of all, many thanks for you help. Second: two questions. One, that curl command didn't work, I'm getting an error. Other question: How do I tell ddclient to execute that script? [23:26] fluffles: True, that... [23:26] james__: yes man amd, so its like a bug or smth? [23:26] homeuser, go to System\Preferences and start "Screen Resolution" and Check what it says. [23:26] blizzardman1219_: OK, lemme have a look. saotome, just a minute [23:26] well, currently in Display Preferences it is set to Default. I like this resolution however the refresh rate is set to something that makes the screen flicker a lot especially when watching from peripheral vision [23:26] Mahr_Afk: ok checking. :) [23:26] Mahr_Afk, that does not give the correct current resolution for me [23:27] it says no properitey drivers are enabled in this system [23:27] mib_ih7x99 thanks [23:27] my monitor is always correct, though [23:27] xx [23:27] I have linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-16-386 which contains the ltmodem drivers I need. I installed the package, and I see /lib/modules/ltmodem. Within that are 3 .o files. HOwever, none of them will load with modprobe or insmod. What's up? === userzero is now known as ltl [23:27] vlad, not a bug per say, but it may actually be and INTEL driver or and ATI driver that you need... not sure yet [23:27] pawan, is there anything that says "Enable" ? anywhere? [23:27] Mahr_Afk: I'm using xfce. I only see Applications > settings > settings manager. [23:28] no [23:28] blizzardman1219_: Well, it looks like it should work. Do you have anything like MAC Address Filtering that could interfere? [23:28] james__: oic [23:28] vlad, start here [23:28] does anyone use wicd? i uninstalled network manager and installed wicd and i cant connect to my wireless network using 128bit wep key [23:28] after installing ubuntu-desktop to my Kubuntu, my opengl is messed up, glxinfo says Error: glXCreateContent Failed and glxgears doesnt work. how can I reinstall opengl ? [23:28] vlad http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=181186 [23:28] blizzardman1219_: And you've checked the obvious (correctly typed passphrase, that sort of thing)? [23:28] mib_ih7x99: i have no idea. how would i check that? [23:28] homeuser, oh, then I'm not sure. Maby you could ask around in #Xubuntu? [23:28] Under there I"m using DIsplay Preferences. Which si the Screen resolution app under GNOME, I think. [23:28] blizzardman1219_: It's something you'd turn on yourself (security options on your router) [23:28] hello all, I have just deleted a grub folder. What should I do to make it back?? [23:28] hello all, I have just deleted a grub folder. What should I do to make it back?? [23:28] Mahr_Afk: ok. let me try . Thanks for your help. :) [23:28] mib_ih7x99: i checked that i was entering it correctly over and over again. [23:28] homeuser, you're welcome. Hope you'll sort it out m8 [23:28] hardy didn't detect my nvidia card automatically. the xorg.conf file was http://paste.ubuntu.com/14645/ so i loaded gutsy on which my card was working and detected perfectly copied the content of xorg.conf file http://paste.ubuntu.com/14648/ and pasted it in the live cd session before installing. after installing hardy + restricted drivers, after each reboot i have to "ctrl+alt+backspace" to be able to have a high resolution why? [23:29] pawan, did you get the linux drivers from nvidia website download? [23:29] Hello everybody [23:29] yes [23:29] after installing ubuntu-desktop to my Kubuntu, my opengl is messed up, glxinfo says Error: glXCreateContent Failed and glxgears doesnt work. how can I reinstall opengl ? [23:29] saotome: Is `curl' installed on your system? If it isn't, `sudo apt-get install curl [23:29] ' [23:29] vlad, and here http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Main_Page [23:29] hello all, I have just deleted a grub folder. What should I do to make it back?? [23:29] james__: man my sounds works but just 2.1 even if the sound is 5.1 [23:29] pawan, and that wont install either? [23:30] no [23:30] mib_ih7x99 it is installed [23:30] boy_chn : try t oreinstall grub and see if that helps [23:30] vlad, then you may have a generic driver that doesn't support 5.1 [23:30] o [23:30] saotome: What error do you get whan you run that command? [23:30] it's an error executing the command, not complaining about the absence of the command [23:30] zvacet: how to do that??? [23:30] should i use nvidia-glx manually [23:30] vlad, or you may need additional modules [23:30] mib_ih7x99: everything i've read seems to point me toward wpa_supplicant or wpagui [23:30] james__: its a driver i just download from synaptic [23:30] zvacet: through synaptic??? [23:30] if you know how, but i would look at your lspci first [23:31] if you know how, but i would look at your lspci first pawan [23:31] zvacet: I have already reinstall this package. But the folder still doesn't appear [23:31] Can someone help me to conect Ubuntu 8.04 to my home network?, please [23:31] hello all, I have just deleted a grub folder. What should I do to make it back?? [23:31] boy_chn : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351&highlight=reinstall+grub [23:31] vlad, please search over the alsa website to verify you have the right modules [23:31] mib_ih7x99: my only problem with those, is that i finally got wpagui installed, but when i click scan nothing happens and it says something about being unable to do something with wpa_supplicant [23:31] blizzardman1219_: wpasupplicant is a command-line application which you would use to connect to a WPA network manually. Let's give it a shot so we can see if NetworkManager is messed up. [23:31] those are exactly what i have [23:32] i want to start a script on start up. what folder do i put it in to make it do that? [23:32] blizzardman1219_: Don't know anything about wpagui. [23:32] mib_ih7x99 it sorta says "command not found" (this is installed in spanish), but I checked and I have curl, cut and sed [23:32] mib_ih7x99: ok lets try wpa_supplicant. thanks for your help btw! its greatly appreciated [23:32] saotome: Would you mind pasting the output of that command to paste.ubuntu.com? [23:32] james__: yes man this are exactly the dirvers i have [23:32] boy_chn: or maybe this http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Hardy#How_to_restore_GRUB_to_a_partition_or_MBR_with_an_Ubuntu_Live_CD [23:32] mib_ih7x99 it's in spanish, are you sure? [23:32] blizzardman1219_: Sure, no problem--might as well help out while I wait for someone who knows how to work Mutt to show up :-) [23:32] zvacet, I have been updating It still says my data base on couple repositories is out of date. It tells me which one . Some one told me to take the us out of repositories name . That made the list small ,but I still out some out of day. It has been 32 days . I am lost what do do [23:33] james__: version 16 [23:33] saotome: Well, I don't speak Spanish but I might be able to recognize something [23:33] GottaBeAndrew make a link to the script you want to execute and place it under /etc/rc2.d. Make sure the name starts with S99 [23:33] vlad, the more I think about this, the more I wonder if you need the development modules from the backports repos [23:34] Hi.

[23:35] vlad, imma ask mib [23:35] mib_ih7x99: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14650/ [23:35] blizzardman1219_: Is wpa_supplicant installed? Type in `wpa_passphrase' and see if you get an error. [23:35] saotome: ok, just a minute. [23:35] mib_ih7x99: yes it is installed [23:35] james__: No, but I can look it up if you give me a minute. [23:35] thanks man [23:36] !lspci [23:36] Factoid lspci not found [23:36] james__: no problem. blizzardman1219_: hit Ctrl-C so you end up at the prompt again. [23:36] Can someone please tell me how I can install new cursors. [23:36] mib_ih7x99: ok [23:36] blizzardman1219_: run `wpa_passphrase YourNetworkSSID' [23:36] vlad, keep in mind that if we add the backports, (experimental) you're on your own if it doesn't work [23:36] I still get the same error when I try to update . I get this Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy/Release Unable to find expected entry web/binary-i386/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?) [23:36] pawan, can you copy and paste that lspci output on pastbin ? and here's a tip for you and all Please type the nick of the person you're talking to, it can get difficult to follow someone you're trying to help :-) [23:37] james__: im downloading the ones from that alsa page mines said after the numbers -generic [23:37] blizzardman1219_: Then type in your WPA passphrase, hit Enter, and see what happens. [23:37] Can someone please help me. [23:37] skedar, what's up? [23:37] vlad, basically, the backports would allow you to install the experimental version of the Azalia driver via synaptic, likely the generic ones don't work [23:37] Hey saotome, how can I install new cursors? [23:37] saotome: Well, the problem is pretty simple--you typed in `saotome: ' :-) [23:38] mib_ih7x99: it lists what appears to be some sort of proper syntax with my PSK in hexadecimal form [23:38] blizzardman1219_: OK, great. [23:38] mib_ih7x99 I did? I'm such a retard! [23:38] saotome: You should see me on a bad day :-P [23:38] tarelerulz cat etc/apt/sources.list [23:38] blizzardman1219_: Hit Alt-F2, and type in `gksudo gedit /etc/wpasupplicant.conf' [23:38] mib_ih7x99, ok, now for the important question, how do I make ddclient run this and update it to dyndns.com? [23:38] blizzardman1219_: make that: Hit Alt-F2, and type in `gksudo gedit /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf' [23:38] skedar, we are talking about the little graphic that tells you where your mouse is pointing? [23:39] pawan, here's how mine starts,,, 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: [23:39] james__: im installing the drivers from the page, can u tell me what else i need from there? [23:39] Yes saotome. [23:39] saotome: I've never used ddclient specifically; can you direct me to a man page? (or paste the output of ddclient --help) [23:39] ok [23:39] whats the command [23:39] mib_ih7x99: ok done [23:39] lspci pawan [23:39] vlad, that's just it, you need different drivers entirely. How much work are you willing to do to get HD 5.1 working vs 2.1? [23:40] james__: What backports did you need? [23:40] does anybody know if there is a pictogram maker?? [23:40] james__: Try this site: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports [23:40] blizzardman1219_: You should be in a text editor looking at a config file. Is anything in there? [23:40] james__: i see too many movies that are in 5.1 [23:40] mib_ih7x99, thanks [23:40] skedar, there are instructios here: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-107022.html [23:40] !pastebin [23:40] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

[23:41] skedar, basically you download the theme file, then by going to system --> preferences --> theme, you open the cursor theme file, and that app will install it for you. [23:41] http://paste.ubuntu.com/14653/ [23:41] tarelerulz :yes or try above post and send you [23:41] pawan, looking [23:41] mib_ih7x99, ok, that's fine, how did you do it? [23:41] I know how to install cursors, I just needed the app for it. [23:41] blizzardman1219_: Can you paste the contents of your file, with the sensitive bits erased? So if it says `psk=skdjksjdksdjskdj' change it to `psk=' [23:41] vlad, see mib_ih7x99 post for backports info [23:42] Thanks a lot for helping saotome! [23:42] does ubuntu not use metacity anymore?

[23:42] could someone tell me what's wrong with my menu.lst? http://paste.ubuntu.com/14654/ [23:42] then [23:43] saotome: If you can give me the syntax for ddclient I can give you a one-liner that'll update your IP. [23:43] Is there an IPv6 package server/mirror? [23:43] skedar, no prob [23:43] saotome: Then you can put it in a shell script and add it to your crontab (if Ubuntu still uses cron :-)) [23:43] Hi, is there a cool video editor that runs in Xubuntu? [23:43] pawan, but you are saying it only works in low graphics,,, has it done that since begging of Ubuntu install? [23:43] nub: What exactly are the symptoms/problem with your Grub menu.lst?

So I guess I will have to make my own script that invokes ddclient as a stand-alone/run-once process? And that will be the new daemon? [23:44] until I added the same lines that were under windows [23:44] pawan, and you installed 8.04 or did you upgrade from 7.10? [23:44] mib_ih7x99: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14657/ [23:44] Steve-cal: the gen partition [23:44] saotome: Looks like that's an incomplete manpage. Can you give me the output of `ddclient -help'?

[23:47] . [23:47] now [23:47] nub: Have you tried the same syntax as the Ubuntu partitions (i.e. standard linux OS)? Use "initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-14-generic" syntax, but look on your Gentoo partition and find the right initrd.img [23:48] tarelerulz :remove word web in every line where it comes at the end save ans close file sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [23:48] can metacity themes be used in hardy? seeing as compiz is now used.. [23:48] pawan, wow,,, that is odd but then again i was just using the restricted in 7.10 as well, gotta be a way to update restricted drivers,,, but bottom line is you have to get rid of the drivers you have,,, [23:48] Steve-cal: I did run it with the same syntax as the ubuntu partitions before, except for the initrd. I do not see one in the gentoo partition [23:48] james__: u there? [23:49] saotome: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14660/ should get you started [23:49] pawan, i this for someone last night, different problem but maybe same resolution,,, do you have a 8,04 live cd? [23:49] Steve-cal: though I do see an initramfs [23:49] nub: Exactly--you need to add it. Look in your /boot directory of the Gentoo partition for the initrd.img-xxxxxx file and use that. [23:49] mib_ih7x99, THANKS! This solves a very big problem I have. [23:49] you can add in your options, save that as a file somewhere, chmod +x it [23:50] no [23:50] How do I format a removable flash drive? [23:50] saotome: sure, no problem. you can add it to root's cron (`sudo crontab -e', google for details) [23:50] I'm getting ready to pull my hair out ... [23:50] Yachaziel: you can use gparted [23:50] alsa problems, is this normal ? grep CONFIG_SND /boot/config-`uname -r` [23:50] # CONFIG_SND is not set [23:50] jrib: Is there a way just from Terminal? [23:50] bazhang: you there [23:50] where does one begin at unraveling the mystery that is ubuntu 8.04's absolutely crappy internet speeds (when on a wired connection) [23:50] blizzardman1219_: ok, let's have a look at your wpa_supplicant.conf. for reference, here's a manpage: http://linux.die.net/man/5/wpa_supplicant.conf [23:50] alsamixer: function snd_mixer_load failed: No such file or directory [23:50] i have found lots of pages discussing wireless connection speed problems and they mention wired as well but never offer any insight into them [23:51] kaiden: perhaps starting from this so called 'wired connection' ? [23:51] Yachaziel: mkfs [23:51] pawan, copy to pastebin the result of gksudo gedit /ect/X11/xorg.conf [23:51] kaiden: perhaps your internet connection is just shit. [23:51] what if the settings Ati "Catalyst Control Center" detects for my external monitor are total bogus? [23:51] mib_ih7x99: ok [23:51] kaiden: all of them are proprietary drivers, therefore hard to use with open source [23:51] kaiden: I would be suprised if its ubuntus fault [23:51] jrib: So like (sudo) mkfs /media/ ? [23:51] Steve-cal: it's an initramfs. do I enter the line initrd /boot/initramfs-genkernel-x86-2.6.23-gentoo-r8 [23:52] jsoftw, that's why there are so many people fussing about it on the ubuntu forums, and why it runs absolutely fine in vista :P [23:52] jsoftw: cat /foul/language > /dev/null please [23:52] I have a problem, yesterday update manager installed a wine update and something called winbind. Today I cannot browse my network in Places Network... Shows windows network but there is nothing there? does anyone have any ideas? [23:52] or should the line be initramfs /boot/initramfs-genkernel-x86-2.6.23-gentoo-r8 [23:52] kaiden: are you talking about normal internet use? [23:52] Steve-cal: and should I keep the three lines 28-30? [23:52] yes, typical speeds in windows i get 800+k/s in ubuntu from the same urls i am lucky to get 20-40k/s [23:52] Yachaziel: see 'man mkfs'. I believe you need to pass /dev/whatever [23:52] blizzardman1219_: OK, your wpa_supp.conf file is fine. [23:53] hi [23:53] kaiden, jsoftw, be nice [23:53] blizzardman1219_: Let me look up the exact command you need to run for use with ndiswrapper [23:53] jrib: Ok, thanks. [23:53] what do i need to restart to get my sound back? [23:53] !hi | Roey [23:53] meh; anyone know what setting on a VPN client would cause only servers on the network i'm VPN'ing into to resolve, and none other (www.google.com, etc) [23:53] I have searched the forums and cannot find anything that seems to apply [23:53] Roey: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [23:53] damn its so pansy in here. [23:53] Broadcom: It's YOUR fault my internet doesn't work right! :-P [23:53] I hey Broadcom ;) [23:53] er [23:53] mib_ih7x99: ok thanks [23:53] Is there a way to switch my calender? For example, if I wanted to use the Hebrew calender in place of a Gregorian calender? [23:53] mib_ih7x99: i can help you with it [23:53] hey Roey [23:54] kaiden: is it like a built in modem or something like that? [23:54] Broadcom: Nah, just teasing :-) [23:54] kaiden: or what? [23:54] I have a dell 830, with quadro nvidia,defautl install doesn't allow me to output to a monitor, it just doesn't give me any suitable res, anyone have an idea if I should install nvidia drivers? [23:54] because if its just some router that your ubuntu box uses to access the net, then its highly unlikely that ubuntu is to blame for 'slow interweb [23:54] blizzardman1219_: For reference, another manpage: http://linux.die.net/man/8/wpa_supplicant [23:54] james__: hey man still here? [23:55] mib_ih7x99: i've seen that page... it made no sense to me lol [23:55] nub: No, you definitely need to get rid of lines 28-30, but I'm not sure of the syntax you should use with a initramfs file. You may have to consult the online grub manual. Sorry I can't help there. [23:55] Broadcom: do you use KVM at all? [23:55] Is anyone else running ubuntu on a mixed network with samba? [23:55] Broadcom: I asked in #kvm, but the folks there seem comatose. [23:55] Steve-cal: okay, thank you [23:55] Broadcom: I want to be ablke to play sound on the host and guest at the same time [23:55] jsoftw, it's an onboard NIC yes, but it's using the typical chips that are used in pretty much every nic on the planet [23:55] blizzardman1219_: Try running this command and pasting its output. `sudo wpa_supplicant -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -iwlan1 -d' [23:55] Roey: never heard of it, but who named it? [23:55] kaiden: right, so _how_ is it slow? [23:55] Broadcom: I don't know if my KVM is using ALSA or not. [23:55] Broadcom: it's the kernel's own qemu. [23:56] okay. I've been putting this off, but I'm ready to deal with it. Need some networking help. [23:56] kaiden: and _how_ exactly are you connected to the interwebs? [23:56] Roey: can't hep you, sorry [23:56] xodiak: What's up? [23:56] xodiak: what specificly? [23:56] hello all, I have just deleted a grub folder. What should I do to make it back?? [23:56] mib_ih7x99: ok one sec [23:56] Broadcom: thanks anyway [23:56] well, I have my Vista laptop running most of the time and my Ubuntu desktop. Would like them to be able to see each other, share files, etc. [23:56] folks -- hate to be a pain but this is kinda urgent - -i need to restart my audio daemon on hardy - -it would be far better if i dont have to reboot or restart x -- can someone help please? [23:57] can i control the keystrokes in such a way as to assimilate ctrl+key by pressing ctrl ctrl key? (I've trapped a nerve and don't have control of half of my left hand) (word of the day: 'control' - ironically is my case lol) [23:57] Yachziel, Broadcom: well, I have my Vista laptop running most of the time and my Ubuntu desktop. Would like them to be able to see each other, share files, etc. [23:57] !samba | xodiak [23:57] xodiak: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [23:57] jsoftw, pretty sure i already stated that :P, typical speeds using synaptics is horrid 20-30k/s from the same urls in other distro's i can easily reach 500-600k/s, and just basic loading of websites is really slow as well... and doing some basic diagnostics on it, the slow down exists after the first byte is thrown so it's not in the socket creation / dns time / etc... [23:57] I have a dell 830, with quadro nvidia,defautl install doesn't allow me to output to a monitor, it just doesn't give me any suitable res, anyone have an idea if I should install nvidia drivers? [23:57] nub: Try joining #gentoo and ask there for someone to share their menu.lst with you--then you can get the right syntax. [23:57] kaiden: do lspci and put the reslut in pastebin [23:57] Broadcom: I will check out those links but I do have Samba running.... Just don't know how to use it I guess. [23:57] kaiden: no I mean what kind of connection.. that you have a nic does not explain much [23:58] Steve-cal: will do [23:58] Anyone know of a console program that does nothing but list my twitter feed? I have a spare terminal I'd like to use to scroll by all my recent tweets as they come in [23:58] mib_ih7x99: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14661/ [23:58] how do i take a screenshot of my gdm theme? [23:58] ok [23:59] see you tomorrow [23:59] blizzardman1219_: Let's try another level of debugging information. Can you paste this: `sudo wpa_supplicant -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -iwlan1 -dd' [23:59] blizzardman1219_: Two d's instead of one. [23:59] Got a question..... Is it possible to designate certain programs that don't require sudo to run. I have a few I like to be able to run without sudo priveleges.... [23:59] blizzardman1219_: If I understand it, wpasupp is having trouble with your SSID. [23:59] io__: You'd edit sudoers to do that [23:59] io__: visudo
