[00:01] hmm [00:02] shit this place is busy [00:02] miko: where did you install the app from? [00:02] do you know where that specific directory is located in the server? [00:02] miko: you'll need to install libstdC++ from your repository, or download it and install it manually [00:02] Storrgie: yes, what do you mean work on a single directory [00:02] no but give me an example [00:02] Storrgie: chroot? [00:02] if not you can always put the "/" in the path to go to the root [00:02] and from the root directory you can navigate to that folder you want === clifford is now known as clifford_ [00:02] boohbah i used alien to convert a rpm to deb format..which i assume is most of my problem [00:02] miko: i cannot understadn how you installed withou that dependency, I could not install without stdc++ installed. [00:02] Gin, not found let me try updating as I haven't had this done yet [00:02] after I play music or videos in flash.. i cant play mp3s from my harddrive.. [00:02] boohbah: I am such a newb i dont know what chroot means [00:03] tried totem and rhythmbox [00:03] miko: what is the app and why don't you get a modern ubuntu version? [00:03] wepeel: sudo apt-get update , do that first [00:03] i have to restart to get my sound back :( [00:03] storrgie: google it [00:03] lol [00:03] miko: it is. it has no dependencies. i recon stdc++ is not going to be the only dep. [00:03] ok now i know, you set up chroot so it works within a specific directory [00:03] Gin, done... hehe one step ahead That's a first :) [00:03] its 'sandboxed' then [00:03] PicMonger, and i didnt see it in the repository [00:03] so you have the vsftp daemon running in a directory, thats your server [00:03] chev_chelios, correct, there were other missing components that i got installed fine [00:04] mutliple FTP's, you need multiple daemons [00:04] right? [00:04] gotta go guys [00:04] i'm late for a concert [00:04] miko: isn't there that app in .deb already? [00:04] anyone have experience in using anjuta with SDL? [00:04] cl0s probably pulse audio.

[00:09] Gin: ALOT [00:09] dannyboy: One small caveat: if you have any problems with the new 1.3 version in the repos crashing, you may have to go with the stable 1.2 version like I had to. [00:10] oh and for mass renaming I like pyrenamer. Its in the repos and it rocks. [00:10] I forget who asked about that. [00:10] Steve-cal: of audacity? [00:10] there is a multifile renamer in ubuntu repo i think:) [00:10] dannyboy: Yes. :) [00:10] !webcam | Blasphemer [00:10] Anyone well versed with setting up an FTP server?

[00:12] sure [00:12] dannyboy: If you have problems recording, let me know and I can probably help you set the right options in the sound control. [00:12] Steve-cal: lol yes please...

[00:15] Can anyone reccomend some sort of fix for Pulseaudio? [00:15] bye [00:15] is there a hoe-to for, tomcat-5.5 on Ubuntu ? [00:15] Zaiden: what kind of problem is the fix supposed to fix? [00:16] is there a HOW-TO for, tomcat-5.5 on Ubuntu ? [00:16] Hey guys, I have a VPS system that runs Ubuntu 8.04 server, it is my mailserver, webserver and few other things. I want to mirror the exact setup so I have installed ubuntu server 8.04 as a guest operating system in a vmware server environment, the system is setup I just need a simple way to mirror the VPS to this virtual machine - any ideas guys, I want to do testing etc on the vm as the VPS system is in a production [00:16] environment and don't want to risk breaking things. What is the simplest way to mirror the system ? [00:16] Steve-cal: i dont a MIX switch.... [00:16] does anyone know why when i issue the command "sudo dpkg-reconfigure lirc" i end up with the message that it failed to start the remote control daemon lirc? [00:16] Slart: PulseAudio is delaying my sound after an action [00:16] Steve-cal: and do i select ALSA default or ALSA with the name of my sound card? [00:16] Zaiden: use regular alsa instead of pulse then.. change everything in System, preferences, sound to ALSA [00:16] hey guys, someone can tell me how do I install bmpanel on hardy? [00:17] Anybody know is Ubuntu is ready to run on a laptop with Dual 8600m GT's in SLI? cause even after i install ubuntu with the text installer, it turns the screen off when i log on [00:17] err boot into ubuntu* [00:17] is there a HOW-TO for, tomcat-5.5 on Ubuntu ? [00:17] there are laptops with dual geforce cards??? [00:17] dannyboy: Use ALSA default, because if you select ALSA w/ your soundcard, that means Audacity monopilizes your soundcard and no other programs will be able to use it while you use Audacity. [00:17] Slart: I've tried that, but it still delays [00:17] lol yeah my laptop has Dual 8600M GT's Koro [00:17] Steve-cal: oh ok [00:17] Ian__: what is it? [00:18] Toshiba X205-SLI5 [00:18] What prgram can record stuff from my webcam? [00:18] Zaiden: then I don't know what could be the problem.. are you sure it's pulseaudio that's causing this delay? [00:18] debian gnome has this new thing called cheese [00:18] debian: cheese perhaps [00:18] debian: never tried it [00:18] anyone using Hardy on a macbook? [00:18] i also get the same result from issueing "sudo /etc/init.c/lirc start [00:18] my trackpad doesnt work AT ALL [00:18] Ian__: doesn't it get uber-hot or get low battery life? [00:19] Slart: Before I reinstalled ubuntu 8.04, I killed pulseaudio and ran a script a forum member suggested, and it fixed the delay, but I could only get sound from one program at a time [00:19] Nope, it runs pretty cool, never overheated, has 2 fans on the bottm, battery life is about 1 1/2 hours with sli on, about 2-2 1/2 hours with sli off [00:19] dannyboy: So under "input" in your Gnome sound settings, "Capture" should be selected, and you'll have to adjust that volume along with "PCM" to get the right recording level. [00:20] Ian__: awesome. [00:20] kponds: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=519295 [00:20] Awesome cept I cant get windows XP or Ubuntu on here [00:20] sudo modprobe appletouch [00:20] ok i finally got the remote control daemon to start, but it is apparantly still not recognizing my remote [00:20] And I have 3, 160gb harddrives running at 7200rpm in this laptop lol [00:20] Ian__: did you test the gaphics card performance? [00:20] Zaiden: well.. you can still kill pulseaudio if you want to.. I'm not sure it will make things better though (pkill pulseaudio) [00:20] Ian__: why not win xp? [00:20] doesnt see the harddrives no matter what i do [00:20] Steve-cal: Internal Mic Capture right? [00:20] *three* hd' s? [00:21] yes [00:21] 3 [00:21] lol [00:21] man what do you use that thing for [00:21] lol [00:21] gaming hehehe [00:21] cirkit: you are cool thanks [00:21] oi [00:21] what's the problem with installing winxp anyway? [00:21] Slart: Killing it kills all my sound. I'm just trying to find a way to either remove it or apply a fix to it [00:21] Runs half life 2 lost coast with over 300 fps sometimes [00:21] so what would i do to get clear terminals and such like in the example picture of black line? [00:21] Are there any other programs like screenlets and gDesklets? [00:21] dannyboy: Should just be "capture" i think--nothing to do with the mic. You want to record thru the sound card, not thru the mic. [00:21] it doesnt see the hd's which is ok cause i dont care anymore haha [00:22] Boohbah yep..thats me [00:22] lan_, does your BIOS see the Hard Drives? [00:22] yeah [00:22] Steve-cal: yea but thats all i have [00:22] i've played with all the settings, i just wanna get ubuntu working now :( [00:22] Does XP have the drivers for the Drives?

[00:22] haha [00:22] Zaiden: hmm.. none that I know of.. but it's a big world out there.. I haven't really looked for pulseaudio fixes since it works nicely for me [00:23] I even get OS X to run on here, but not ubuntu :( [00:23] how do i get clear terminals? [00:23] hi can anyone tell me if elisa runs off the LiveCD? [00:23] what is the default source folder for the wine you install from synaptic? /usr/lib/wine [00:23] dannyboy: I'm using my Kubuntu desktop right now so I don't remember exactly what the options are in Gnome. You don't have any other options then "Internal Mic Capture"? [00:23] can't run ubuntu Ian__ ? [00:23] seems pointless to carry on doesn't it ? [00:23] kponds: appletouch module is loaded when checking with lsmod? [00:23] nope, i can install it, but the screen turns off and it wont come back on [00:23] cirkit: yes [00:24] I'm guessing its cause the SLI'd 8600's [00:24] Steve-cal: lol negative [00:24] if i cat /dev/psaux and move it around i get nothing [00:24] but if i do so with my usb mouse i get noise [00:24] Ian__ does the live cd run? [00:24] "apt-cache rdepends foo" shows everything that depends on "foo", right? So if there's nothing there you care about, you can uninstall "foo", right? [00:24] no lol [00:24] you can alter screen settings from there I think..before install [00:24] (s/care about/have installed/) [00:24] dannyboy: Well try it and see if it works. ;) [00:24] oh :( [00:24] :( [00:24] :( [00:24] Steve-cal, Hi we still on for marriage or are u also in the USA?

[00:31] Bored: echo foo | sudo tee file is like echo foo > file as root [00:31] with the -i says "permission denied" too....

[00:37] jrib: yeah, but I need to test cookie sessions, and I don't want to restart my ff, so, I thought of having another user running the test FF [00:37] Jack_Sparrow, and if what you typed didn't move up so quickly....I'd cope! lol [00:38] hello [00:38] * Chiselh_uk panics [00:38] Chiselh_uk sudo apt-get install pastebinit && cat /etc/apt/sources.list | pastebinit (Provide Pastebin link in channel) [00:38] theFATMAN: Istanbul or Recordmydeskop [00:38] what's a good web site usage monitor? [00:38] !hi | mok_ [00:38] mok_: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [00:38] BCM43: the semicolin separates commands to run, the && will run the next command ONLY if the first command exits successfully. [00:38] BCM43: Both say to run two commands, but the && means "only do the next one if the first one worked" and the ; means just go ahead and do the next one. Or maybe I got those backwards. Just repeating what I heard once. [00:38] BCM43: thanx, but i want to know if pcsx2 supports play station 2 on pc? [00:38] mgol: thanks :) isn't it a bit insecure if it's possible to recover passwords though ? =/ [00:38] Steve-cal: ArthurArchnix: thanks [00:38] if i want to reinstall an application say TF .. would i need to apt-get remove then install or is there a way to have it reconfigure? [00:38] mok_: what you mean? rss? [00:38] jeroen, Istanbul? is it good? I get an error with recordmydesktop [00:38] hello [00:39] Steve-cal, Blimey!! How easy was that sudo xkill!!

[00:40] lol [00:40] I'm having trouble working out where to connect the power switch :) [00:40] BCM43: yes [00:40] #join ubuntu-fr [00:40] Jack_Sparrow, I copied 'n pasted 'n now it's asking if I want to install these packages without varification, what am I installing out of curiosity? :P [00:40] how can I make GNOME notify me about things being loaded on start up just like it happens on KDE? [00:40] bobbyd: try the neighbours [00:40] jeroen-: I just want to see urls visited and hostnames [00:40] Jack_Sparrow, Talk about blind faith!! lol [00:41] the FreeBSD box is for porn [00:41] Wolf23: it says it works http://www.pcsx2.net/ [00:41] jeroen-: ? [00:41] mok_: I dont know [00:41] Hi world === mok_ is now known as M0lk [00:41] noooo, if porn is what you;re looking, linuxfromscratch [00:41] rodolfo: Its called the gnome splash screen i think, and its still there, just disabled. To enable it go into gconf-editor and search for the key with splash in it. [00:41] bobbyd: "I'm having trouble working out where to connect the power switch" [00:41] Chiselh_uk pastebinit.. a tool that makes it easy to send a file to the pastebin so you dont need to do it manually.. [00:41] could someone explain me how can i install a french dictionary for XChat [00:41] ok, so I update and now my wireless doesn't work... [00:42] Slart: Is there a way to undo the pkill pulseaudio command? [00:42] Chiselh_uk the rest of that is the file.. sources.list that we wanted to check [00:42] Zaiden: restart your pc [00:42] rodolfo: It's called "show_splash_screen" just check it. [00:42] wepeel: did you chaged the default settings before the update? [00:42] Pauldb: I did, and Pulse isn't running [00:42] could someone explain me how can i install a french dictionary for XChat [00:42] ArthurArchnix and where is it supposed to be? [00:42] jeroen, it produces ogg theora format, whats a good format converter? [00:42] rodolfo: Where is what supposed to be? [00:43] theFATMAN: pfff [00:43] Zaiden: try runnig it... [00:43] BCM43: yes i have installed fro this site? and the emulator works fine, but when i insert a play2 cd game in the cdrom and i run it with pcsx2,it shows entertainment and after finishing it quits or exit automatically [00:43] i don't know the command line sorry [00:43] ArthurArchnix gconf-editor [00:43] eh try mencoder [00:43] chew_chelios yes, but it's not even recognizing the card now [00:43] jeroen? pffff, pass? huh [00:43] oh... just hit alt+f2 then type it in [00:43] wepeel: if you chaged something on old package to make it work, you have to do that on new package too, i think.. [00:43] or something like thar [00:43] could someone please tell me what could be breaking sound and wireless card after upgrading to hardy(8.04) [00:43] Pauldb: How do I run Pulse? [00:43] jeroen-: no seriously :) the manual tell me where to put it but it's not clear and doesn't work [00:43] Wolf23: did you confirm the game works? [00:43] rodolfo: ^^ [00:43] or a frontend for that [00:43] wepeel: what card? [00:43] ArthurArchnix hold up [00:43] bobbyd: "power switch" [00:44] we are talking about software here === sixforty_ is now known as sixforty [00:44] jeroen? pffff ? [00:44] Zaiden: i dunno sry look at the doc www.doc.ubuntu.org [00:44] theFATMAN: that means I had problems with that to [00:44] bobbyd: try compiling your power source [00:44] could someone please tell me what could be breaking sound and wireless card after upgrading to hardy(8.04) [00:44] try to search for video encoder in synaptic [00:44] can someone help me with my font problem? the forum isn't helping:( [00:44] jeroen-: yep, connecting to that pinout doesn't seem to do anything [00:44] Wolf23: what game? [00:44] What's currently considered the "best" way to install flash in firefox? [00:44] jeroen, oh, lol, i almost searched for it in synaptic! [00:44] BCM43: it works but the begining, and when i press enter , the game disappear and exit, maybe i am configuring wrong or i dont know [00:44] chev_chelios: pretty sure the power supply is working :) [00:44] !fonts [00:44] 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 [00:44] chew_chelios, it's an atheros chipset it was working on a clean install and now is not. the hardware monitor says the driver is not in use [00:44] Gokul: about 7483 things [00:45] bobbyd: so, what is the problem:) [00:45] Wolf23: What game? [00:45] chev_chelios: I compiled it already with -O3 [00:45] Gokul: Hm, ps -ef | fgrep esd [00:45] bobbyd: oh... [00:45] *double-checks repository* [00:45] chev_chelios: i compiled it already with -O3 [00:45] BCM43: black hawk [00:45] oops [00:45] ArthurArchnix no 'splash' is mentioned [00:45] What's the other sound daemon? [00:45] bobbyd: it makes power more "green"? [00:45] chev_chelios: the problem is that it doesn't turn on :) [00:45] http://www.pcsx2.net/compat.php?c=search [00:46] bobby [00:46] Gokul: I doubt that sound and wireless both being broken are intrinsically related. [00:46] chev_chelios: indeed, wouldn't want that fat old debug power [00:46] bobbyd: did you tried to switch it on? [00:46] chev_chelios: yes, of course! I'm not stupid, it's just not working [00:46] trying to follow this command, but I dont have a /dev/usb/ - any idea what I should be looking for instead? its Ubuntu..... : sudo irrecord -H macmini -d /dev/usb/hiddev0 /etc/lirc/lircd.conf [00:46] BCM43: i have another one call Alon ein the dark and it is .iso [00:46] Gokul: In my experience, sound breakage is predominantly either a driver issue (supporting whatever encoding) or it's a resource contention issue. [00:46] I'm having a problem with torrents. I've tried multiple torrent clients. For some reason, when I have a torrent client uploading more than a few kbps, it makes my mouse movement extremely slow and unreliable (jumping from one end of the screen and such). In all my googling, I was only able to find a single person with a problem anything like mine, and there was absolutely no help [00:46] puff: nothing in the output, there seems to be a bunch of bugs logged about the same issue though [00:46] Does anyone know of a linux app that allows me to mount ISO images? [00:46] chev_chelios: http://www.anderberg.co.uk/connectors.png [00:46] bobbyd: replace power supply:) [00:46] puff: but none of them fixes my issue [00:47] is there some reason why doing apt-get build-dep linux-image-2.6.24-16 gets the src for 2.6.24-17? [00:47] unr3a1: for what purpose ? [00:47] theFATMAN: try in #ubuntu-studio [00:47] unr3a1: mount -t ISO9660 yourFile yourDir -o loop [00:47] rodolfo: You have to check the box that says find key names too [00:47] unr3al, why mount? just play in vlc [00:47] ArthurArchnix should I create one? [00:47] Gokul: Specifically, on earlier versions (I think it may have changed in the last couple of versions) the kernel had exactly one lock for access to sound. Whichever app grabbed it first... The fix was a daemon that served access to sound output. [00:47] chev_chelios: I've tried two and confirmed that they work independently [00:47] rodolfo: No. [00:47] bobbyd: what in the world forced you to do this? [00:47] Gokul: But I ended up, due to upgrading, with two different systems trying to grab that lock, so every now and then I'd restart esd (or the other one, can't remember the name) and it'd trip itself up. [00:48] chev_chelios: forced me to do what? try to make the motherboard work, or test the power supplies? [00:48] bobbyd: i think, those are preinstalled to work on any case [00:48] puff: what is the resolution to the issue? [00:48] unr3a1: if they are movia ISO's you can just open them with VLC [00:48] hello friends, im running hardy heron and for some reason my broadcom wireless is not booting up .. before it boot up and i make it work with ndiswrapper [00:48] chev_chelios: what's pre-installed to work? [00:48] rodolfo: So you've got gconf-editor open, and you hit control+F to find, and you typed exactly this "splash" and you checked "search key names too" and nothing came up? [00:48] but now when i type lspci it wont even show broadcom [00:48] bobbyd: did you get a manual for that power? [00:48] ArthurArchnix I got it. /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image [00:48] Is there a command to find out all my hardware info? [00:48] rodolfo: Yup [00:49] sileni: you need to load ndiswrapper - sudo modprobe ndiswrapper [00:49] ArthurArchnix, value? [00:49] nono [00:49] it's /cat/something I think [00:49] i did [00:49] chev_chelios: can you see from the diagram which pins should be used? it looks like 6 and 8 : http://www.anderberg.co.uk/connectors.png [00:49] rodolfo: Just check it to activate it. It will take on the default value. logout and come back to see if it works. [00:49] but it wont even show broadcom as one of the devices [00:49] as lspci [00:49] chev_chelios: but that doesn't work [00:49] bobbyd: all the thingys are preplugged in the factory, or in the shops where you buy [00:49] Jack_Sparrow: What did u have me do on the command line? [00:49] Gokul: In my case, the resolution was to reboot (only way to free up the lock) and make sure that only one of the sound daemons was running before I did something that used sound. [00:49] let me see... [00:49] problem! no matter what browser i load. if i try to access !yahoo or myspace the browser closes... any clues? and can someone tell me how to uninstall macromedia flash plugin ?? [00:49] like for some reason it is not being recognized as being there [00:49] rodolfo: The one above splash image, says "show_splash_image" or something, put a checkmark in that box. [00:49] chev_chelios: um, this is a pico-itx motherboard, it has no case [00:49] seems far less than ideal [00:50] ArthurArchnix ok [00:50] chev_chelios: http://www.mini-itx.com/reviews/pico-itx/ === tuna-fish is now known as tuna [00:50] sileni: ndiswrapper -l [00:50] ArthurArchnix what about '/apps/compiz/plugins/splash? [00:50] sileni: does that list the device? [00:50] What does THIS do? - sudo apt-get install pastebinit && cat /etc/apt/sources.list | pastebinit [00:51] rodolfo: Dunno. I don't have compiz installed on this machine. [00:51] no [00:51] thats the problem [00:51] I'm just trying to understand what Jack_Sparrow was getting me to do? [00:51] Gokul: So, I'd guess that something similarm may be happening in you case. Step one, make sure *no* sound is working. If sound is working one place but not another, that's a clue that the problem is encoding. [00:51] before when i do ndiswrapper -l [00:51] it would say something like driver installed and blah blah device present [00:51] Gokul: If sound is completely missing, then it's a clue that it's a lock issue. [00:51] is there a way to create symbolic links of an entire folders contents? I want to use the same profile information for thunderbird in ubuntu as windows [00:51] bobbyd: 6 and any grnd [00:51] but now it just say driver there [00:51] problem! no matter what browser i load. if i try to access !yahoo or myspace the browser closes... any clues? and can someone tell me how to uninstall macromedia flash plugin ?? [00:51] bobbyd: it should be those [00:51] ogg theora format to avi/mpeg4/mp4/xvid, whats a good format converter? [00:51] puff: sound is completely missing [00:52] chev_chelios: yeah, so 6 and 8 [00:52] hmmmmmmmm [00:52] Chiselh_uk: it installs this cool app that pastes output to pastbin. Then it asks a command to run, reading your apt sources, then it pastes it to pastebin, then it gives you a link to paste here so other poeple can look at it. [00:52] sileni: you sure its not powered off somehow? a hardware switch? [00:52] Hi. [00:52] bobbyd: what about the power suply... [00:52] yes [00:52] bobbyd, I tried that, and it says that ISO9660 is an unknown filesystem type [00:52] well thats what im wondering [00:52] im pretty sure its powered off [00:52] but i dont knwo how to power it back on [00:52] i went to bios [00:53] and i put network adapter enabled [00:53] ArthurArchnix: Thank you. Now if only I knew why he wanted that? :P [00:53] but that isnt turning it on for some reason [00:53] What's the command line command to check for software updates ? [00:53] bobbyd: what are you trying to connect it to? [00:53] does anyone have any idea why uploading, particularly through torrents, would make my mouse act extremely slow? [00:53] stupid windows vista... i was iinstalling it and power went out and everything screwed afterwards [00:53] What question did you ask Chiselhuk_Plus1 [00:53] indio: sudo apt-get update [00:53] indio: sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude safe-upgrades [00:53] indio: sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude safe-upgrade [00:53] does anyone know the Ubuntu equivilant to /dev/usb/hiddev0 ?? [00:53] so I'm guessing that the current kernel went from 2.6.24-16 to 2.4.24-17 sometime fairly recently. outside of apt-get update apt-get upgrade what do I need to do to make everything match again? [00:53] (no s) [00:54] chev_chelios: connect what to? the switch? I'm connecting it to 6 and 8 [00:54] ixion: It should be the same [00:54] problem! no matter what browser i load. if i try to access !yahoo or myspace the browser closes... any clues? and can someone tell me how to uninstall macromedia flash plugin ?? If anyone can help pls PM me i must go AFK [00:54] ixion: Unless that's from another Unix? [00:54] fde I dont have a /dev/usb [00:54] Gokul: Okay, one sec while I restart firefox. [00:54] bobbyd: what are you connection the motherboard to? [00:54] ArthurArchnix it worked. but it shows only until the time the desktop has been loaded. all other progresses are not being showed [00:54] its from another linux probably I dunno... trying to follow some documentation [00:54] bobbyd: what are you connecting the motherboard to? [00:54] ixion: Is the device plugged in? What are you expecting that device to be? [00:55] ArthurArchnix: It feelslike a lifetime ago, I don't remember, it was at the same time as my add/remove programs had crashed & Steve-cal showed me how to sudo xkill the app, really cool! lol [00:55] bobbyd: it says unknown filesystem type: ISO9660 [00:55] rodolfo: I think that's the best gnome can do. It's being phased out I think. Unfortunately, no one really wants it. Slows down bringing up the desktop. [00:55] ixion: /dev/ is dynamic so devices only show up when they are enabled [00:55] chev_chelios: I don't understand the question === ka2u is now known as ka2zzzz [00:55] fde: a USB IR Recveiver (built into imac) yes its known to be on and working [00:55] or, failing that is there a way to make apt-get get the actual -16 source instead of the -17 one? the way things are all my kernel build links are breaking [00:55] bobbyd: never mind [00:55] ixion: 'lsusb' displays it? [00:56] fde yes [00:56] well, ppl, got to go, watch a flick, sleep etc... bye bye now [00:56] GNOME 2.22.2 Released [00:56] unr3a1: get rid of the -t blah bit and try again [00:56] ArthurArchnix I see. is there any debapp that i can download to set splashscreen's configuration? [00:56] ixion: is there anyway i can turn it back on [00:57] rodolfo: Yeah... I think startup manager might do the trick. Check out the descruption in synaptic. It should let you set custom themes for it too quite easily. [00:57] sileni: dunno man its your wireless card [00:57] :( [00:57] ArthurArchnix that's great but I have one more question [00:58] sileni: does it show up in lspci ? [00:58] ArthurArchnix how can I change the login background? [00:58] no [00:58] rodolfo: Nope. Nevermind. Descriptions says it only does usplash [00:58] ixion: no :( [00:58] I am trying to run an application (kismet) and the screen is not formatting with the correct characters. When I echo $TERM it gives me "ansi". On my other box it says "xterm". Where do I change this so that I get correct formatting? [00:58] verison of libs and apps look like this gcc version 4.2.3 (Ubuntu 4.2.3-2ubuntu7). what does the -2ubuntu7 part mean? does it mean from version 7.x of ubuntu? [00:59] rodolfo: Yes again. That one's a bit easier. Just go to >administration >login window it will let you drag and drop new themes in there, change background colours, set images... so forth [00:59] ixion: have you looked into what driver it should be? [00:59] ArthurArchnix and what kind of file does it accept? [00:59] (sorry, I had to do something real fast) [00:59] is there a Ubuntu download CD with KDE already with it?? [01:00] kubuntu [01:00] gdm files in tar.gz format. Head over to gnome-look.org to get a nice selection. [01:00] Shiver2365: yes... kubuntu.com [01:00] rodolfo: [01:00] is that on the ubuntu site? [01:00] gooogle.com [01:00] google.com* [01:00] ArthurArchnix I mean the file extension [01:00] Shiver2365: I think they took the links away actually... so no. [01:01] I've been having a problem with my wireless connection for a couple days now. It will work for up to 10 minutes then while it still says it's connected, I can't access the internet. It worked fine before a couple days ago, anyone know how to fix it? [01:01] http://www.kubuntu.org/ [01:01] ArthurArchnix, PNG? BMP? JPG? [01:01] hey guys, just setting up hardy, and I am trying to see if it enabled the wireless card on this lappy, where do I go, or what terminal command should I use? [01:01] Shiver2365: http://www.kubuntu.org/ thats the first thing i got when i type kubuntu in google -.- [01:01] good link.. thank you sileni [01:02] Gokul: Try: find /lib/modules/`uname -r` | grep snd [01:02] rodolfo: Not sure I understand. There are two kinds, gdm themes that are packaged into tar.gz, and then if you just want to set an image I think all three of those should work. Mind you... this is just the gdm, then there's blank screen, then desktop. Are you wanting to change the blank screen part? Or the first part. The login window? [01:02] sileni> what do you recomend? Hardy Heron or KDE 4 remix?? [01:03] hey guys, just setting up hardy, and I am trying to see if it enabled the wireless card on this lappy, where do I go, or what terminal command should I use? [01:03] Gokul: If that command (find /lib/modules/`uname -r` | grep snd) does not list a sound module, then sudo aptitude install linux-ubuntu-modules-`uname -r` linux-generic [01:03] [01:03] puff: it returns 116 files [01:03] mary_: From scratch? [01:03] ArthurArchnix, the login window. I want it to look exactly like this one: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/preview.php?preview=1&id=81795&file1=81795-1.jpg&file2=&file3=&name=Believe+Ubuntu+-+blue+GDM+ [01:03] mary_ iwconfig from terminal [01:03] Shiver2365: i like simplicity so i just went with hardy [01:03] Shiver2365: its your taste, my brother loves KDE so he has Kubuntu [01:03] mary_: should be a network manager icon on the task bar if you have gnome installed [01:03] witch one is the smallest install? im limited on HD space [01:04] Shiver2365: define limited [01:04] Gokul: hm, well, try installing linux-buuntu-modules-versionnumber (where versionnumber is the output from uname -r0 anyway. [01:04] Shiver2365 It isnt an either or situation, you can have both [01:04] 2.5gig [01:04] you're fine [01:04] mary_: iwconfig. [01:04] so hardy dosent use KDE?? [01:04] gnome [01:04] by default, its gnome [01:04] <`Chris> Not by default [01:04] mary_: Your sound card is probably something like eth1, in which case, try "sudo iwlist eth1 scan" and then "sudo iwconfig essid someessid", "sudo iwconfig channel somehcannel", and then "sudo dhclient eth1" [01:05] ok so if i want the KDE download i have to get KDE remix [01:05] Shiver2365: you can install kde at any time though [01:05] <`Chris> Download Kubuntu for a KDE version Shiver2365 [01:05] Hardy also doesn't officially support KDE this time around. [01:05] er if its ubuntu its gnomes, kubuntu kde [01:05] Shiver2365: no, you can install plan Hardy and then install KDE [01:05] rodolfo: Oh yeah. No problem. Download the file, which should be a tar.gz file. Then open the login window. Switch to the "local" tab. Drag the file into that window. It will install it. Make sure it has a check mark in it. Logout and it should be set. [01:05] sure it does. [01:05] the good thing about linux is it can be customized to your liking... so explore the possibilities [01:05] s/plan/plain [01:05] It'll be supported again in the future... just not now. [01:05] just not kde4 [01:05] ohh ok... thanks guys [01:05] mary_: Oh, you may need to do "sudo ifup eth1" to activate the sound card. Or, if that says it's already active, but the iwconfig commands don't wrk, then "sudo ifconfig eth1 up" [01:05] bazhang: afaik, it's both. === tat-_ is now known as tat- [01:05] fde that is not correct [01:06] Hello, I got my DVD playbacks working now. I think that there is a problem with the program dvd::rip. Anybody have any experiences? [01:06] * fde read a lot about the situation, doensn't understand how he could be wrong [01:06] puff: surely you mean network card :) [01:06] anyone got ndiswrapper to work in hardy ? [01:06] :/ [01:07] deejaypip: maybe if you describe the problem, someone will be able to help [01:07] yell0w: what wireless card? [01:07] mary_: er, yeah, what bobbyd said, wireless card. [01:07] BCM43: 4318 [01:07] bobbyd: Thanks :-) [01:07] ArthurArchnix, indeed it worked xD thank you! [01:07] yell0w: the broadcom? [01:07] bobbyd: sorry. Wasn't thinking. Whenever I rip DVDs with dvd::rip, the DVD won't play on my computer [01:07] I think I may scrape the rust off my C skills and fix ifup/ifdown to be less stupid about the lock files. [01:08] Gokul: any change? [01:08] Hey, my graphics card (nvidia) isn't being detected and is not showing up in restricted drivers manager. [01:08] Any idea why? [01:08] puff: i resintalled it, still no luck [01:08] deejaypip: you mean the files it produces won't play? what does that mean? what are you trying to play them with? [01:08] Where does one get C skills anyway? Kroger said they don't stock them anymore. [01:08] BCM43: yes [01:08] ffm: how old is it? [01:08] yell0w: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Feisty_No-Fluff [01:08] Gokul: Okay, so, see if /proc/asound exists [01:09] yell0w: tell me if you need help with that [01:09] pp [01:09] bobbyd: I mean, when I insert the DVD and try to play the DVD, it will not play. My computer plays other DVDs fine. Also, the files that it produces do not play. [01:09] Gokul: Did you reboot after reinstalling? === ivanm is now known as ivanmd [01:09] ArthurArchnix, I've wrote down all steps mentioned by you so I can pass all those tips on for other people on my community.

[01:09] bobbyd: within 3 years. [01:09] puff: yes, several times [01:09] Gokul: if not, step one, reboot. If that "fixes" it, then odds are high it's a lock problem. [01:09] BCM43: something with ssb, b43 and the -24 kernel :( [01:09] ffm: what does lspci say about it? [01:09] Okay. Hm. [01:09] yell0w: follow the instructions. it has a hardy workaround. [01:09] bobbyd: It worked a few days ago. [01:09] Gokul: See if /proc/asound exists [01:09] yell0w: try skipping right to the workaround [01:10] BCM43: hardy bug fix ? [01:10] yell0w: yes [01:10] Gokul: Or does "ps -ef | fgrep -i esd" show you anything? === jo_ is now known as Psyux [01:10] bobbyd: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV43 [GeForce 6200] (rev a2) [01:10] BCM43: ok thanks [01:10] BCM43: let me reboot and try them [01:10] bazhang: afaik... the Kubuntu kde3 offering is supported as a normal release, and kde4 isn't supported at all... but there is no Kubuntu LTS this time around...

The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [01:48] the answer is, don't paste [01:48] PdUb101, Ok, I reloaded.. and the mouse *still* doesnt trigger the cube, or the transparency .. sorry to repeat, don't know if u saw it from where he flooded [01:48] Kyrin: why are you asking me? [01:48] BCM43 bug report? I wrote an email to ati [01:48] Oh, sorry, i didnt know that. [01:48] just seemed like someone knowledgeable [01:49] Xsss4hell: most likely it is ubuntu devs that can fix it [01:49] My error log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15445/ [01:49] but I don`t they react.. they aren't active on linux side...those ...xxyyyzz [01:49] dez5y, everything else works besides the mouse?? [01:49] BCM43: brb, if you got anything just include my name in the response and i'll pick up the highlight later [01:49] How can I tell if if my nvidia graphics card drivers are installed and working? [01:49] thanks BCM43 [01:49] BCM43 I asked at #kernel but compiling fglrx agains 2.6.25 shouldn't work I heard [01:50] currently [01:50] PdUb101, Yes. And what I just noticed is, the mouse doesn't toggle properly between windows, either. IE: if I click from pidgin, to xchat.. pidgin chat window stays up, and if i try to type. .it types in pidgin, and not xchat. It really seems like a mouse issue.. but it was happens with my touchpad, too [01:50] Chlorate: type lsmod for a list of loaded modules [01:50] Chlorate: does it say nvidia there? [01:50] After yesterday's updates to gdm and the nvidia driver, Firefox window decorations appear to be missing. Switching off desktop effects resolves the issue. [01:50] since upgrading to hardy, my ati graphics are wack. i have used envyng to install the latest drivers, i have the proprietary drivers switched on, yet the graphics are slow/laggy/awful and when i open a folder (ie home) it flashes then disappears. any ideas? === yannick_ is now known as ylynfatt [01:51] Chlorate: I think you can go to System>Admnistration >Drivers Hardware and see if its active. Am I right? [01:51] Chlorate: You can also run glxgears. If you see the gears, then they are installed correctly. [01:51] matteus: try using sudo [01:51] K BCM, ill try, ty [01:51] dez5y, hmm... do you have all of the latest updates from ubuntu? may be a driver issue for your mouse [01:51] I see nvidia in there. So does that mean it is working? [01:51] <`Chris> !etiquette | `Chris [01:51] Chlorate: glxinfo should also tell [01:51] revilodraw, goto add/remove in menu, goto other or system tools and look for ATI catalyst ctrl center [01:52] matteus: http://www.mail-archive.com/hplip-help@lists.sourceforge.net/msg03553.html [01:52] Chlorate: If nvidia is present in `lsmod` it means the module is loaded, but to check for 3D acceleration use glxinfo. [01:52] I want software updates from the command line, Is "sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude safe-upgrade" my solution ? [01:52] Chlorate: what video card? [01:53] theFATMAN: thanks ill try that! [01:53] BCM, sudo didnt work. Ill try that website.. just a moment [01:53] revilodraw, no p, it lets u configure [01:53] indio: Affirmative [01:53] hi, im setting up a jabber server for a few friends and myself and after setting up ejabberd i go to register myself a admin user, but get a error that the user cant be registered at that node: not_allowed any ideas? [01:53] alright. Nvidia geforce 7900 GS. What should I look for to see if I am getting the 3d accel in glxinfo [01:54] theFATMAN: i actually already have it, but i couldnt use it, but since im in failsafe gnome now i can! so thanks again [01:54] PdUb101, I have them all. It was working a week ago :(. I did a fresh re-install, with all new settings.. with NO updates, it still doesn't work.. so I'm truly clueless. [01:54] revilodraw, no p, mate [01:54] Chlorate: a bunch of symbols...direct rendering yes [01:54] BCM43: i checked that out, but it seems its a solution only for SuSE [01:54] ogrimdoom: Sounds like permission problem within the jabber server. But I know nothing about Jabber :( [01:54] can someone help me figure out how to do a network install? [01:54] BigPick: Is it the same as software updates that appear in Ubuntu Gnome session ? [01:54] After yesterday's updates to gdm and the nvidia driver, Firefox window decorations appear to be missing. Switching off desktop effects restores the decorations but eliminates visual effects. Anyone here have this problem? [01:54] not sure what the problem is, but it made a new user on my server called ejabberd and i dont know its password >> scares me lol [01:55] orgrimdoom: Join ejabberd@conference.jabber.ru in your Jabber client [01:55] matteus: try googleing the error and looking around more [01:55] dez5y, hmm... im sorry i wish i could help more but im just going from person experience here, im not in any way a master user [01:55] !install | whisperkiller [01:55] whisperkiller: Ubuntu can be installed in a lot of ways.

[01:55] BCM43, yeah i have done that before, ill try looking up in the HP website [01:55] AcornAcorn, ALT + TAB [01:55] matteus: what are you trying to install? [01:55] Are the repos totally down now? i'm getting 404's on squid from edgy.

[01:57] matteus: should not matter, try it anyway [01:57] press and realease TAB whilst holding ALT key [01:57] Infinito_: I want to be able to switch with ALT + TAB without having the graphical stuff coming up on the screen [01:57] hmm [01:57] Repos are hella slow atm... [01:57] i don't see any option for that in compiz settings [01:57] Hmm. [01:57] BCM ok, thanks for the support === illovae_ is now known as illovae [01:58] anyone know why my compiz/fusion has to be manually loaded everytime i restart my computer? [01:58] AcornAcorn: Yeah compiz is kinda all about the graphical stuff :P Interesting question. [01:58] I have a Linksys Wireless router and I want to connect trough my laptop. I can see my wireless network with very high signal, but it won't connect... On another place, where there is a D-Link router, works perfectly. Any ideas? the router model is WRT54G. [01:58] I did the ctrl + alt + backspace and I didn't see any nvidia logo. However, I did see that it had "Yes" for direct rendering. Anything else? And how do install the nvidia settings to make sure? [01:59] BCM Ill try installing using tarball [01:59] michael__: Are you using the propietary driver? [01:59] proprietary( [01:59] BigPick: yeah, it's nice sometimes, but not when you want things to be clean and simple :P [01:59] michael__: System --> Admin --> Restricted Drivers [01:59] IIRC [01:59] ian_liu88: I've the exact same router. Do you have encryption on or off? [01:59] Not in Ubuntu atm [01:59] Steve-cal: It is on [01:59] It says in use and enabled. [02:00] michael__: Also - if you just enabled it - you have to reboot (not just restart X) [02:00] ian_liu88: And the Dlink--was encryption on or off? [02:00] It does a kernel update [02:00] I will do that real quick and make sure. [02:00] michael__: I don't see the logo every time either come to think of it - only sometimes [02:00] Steve-cal: I think it was on too, it was WPA2 protected [02:00] Where should it be when I see it? [02:01] hola tengo una pregunta rapida [02:01] !es | alpert [02:01] alpert: Aquí solamente hablamos inglés. Para Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es - allí obtendrá más ayuda. [02:01] hey [02:01] it there such a thing as a device manager? or something similar in ubuntu? [02:01] Steve-cal: My router was configured with the Wizard that came with it, on a Windows machine, it has some kind of computer registration, but it seems it only works for Windows XP/Vista [02:01] BCM43: any new insight on my problem ? [02:02] can anyone help me getting gparted 0.3.7 installed on ubuntu? [02:02] how do i list files on a cd from command line? [02:02] cd .. [02:02] whisperkiller: ls -a /media/cdrom ? [02:02] ls [02:02] can anyone help me with live-helper [02:02] question, i just installed ubuntu server 8.04 on an ibm xseries 235 server, it booted up a couple of times just fine then all of a sudden it was complaining about being unable to write to a few files and so i rebooted, now when grub loads i get "Error 25" any idea what this means? [02:02] ian_liu88: Are you using WEP/WPA/WPA2 encryption on the Linksys? [02:03] Steve-cal: I'm using WPA [02:03] PdUb101, omg! It was the mouse! [02:03] dez5y, hehe did you switch it otu? [02:03] PdUb101, I swapped it out w/ a $5 cheapo i had - restarted my computer, and bam.. desktop cube works like a charm, the rotating, that is! [02:03] what's OTU? [02:04] FloodBot2, can you help me with live-helper [02:04] I wonder if restarting w/ the wireless mouse will fix my woes once and for all [02:04] dez5y, congrats!! makes learning ubuntu fun when you figure things out for yourself [02:04] Is it possible to use zsnes on 64bit hardy? [02:04] yes shoudl be zaiden [02:04] ian_liu88: Do you have the "wpasupplicant" package installed? [02:04] Just wanted to let u know PdUb101 thanks a million! [02:04] Steve-cal: hmm, I don't think so, let me check [02:05] I can't find a download for zsnes that'll install on ubuntu [02:05] Zaiden: I know snes works [02:05] Steve-cal: Well, there is a wpa_supplicant [02:06] Steve-cal: with "_" [02:06] what does it mean when packages are kept back? [02:06] when I do sudo apt-get install zsnes, I get "Package zsnes is not available, but is referred to by another package." [02:06] Zaiden: Just use your favorite package manager and install the zsnes package. [02:06] !info zsnes [02:06] zsnes (source: zsnes): Emulator of the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.510-2ubuntu1 (hardy), package size 879 kB, installed size 4060 kB (Only available for i386 amd64) [02:06] BigPick: the package from the zsnes website? [02:07] Zaiden: use snes9x :) [02:07] Zaiden, enable repo and reload [02:07] hai......................... [02:07] ian_liu88: Hmmm, mine says only "wpasupplicant" no _ in mine. My version is 0.6.0 What do you have? [02:07] Zaiden: No, just use the package manager. [02:07] silly question, why does it say Kubuntu when my pc restarts now? [02:07] chrisbdaemon, it is a disk error [02:07] help [02:08] I cannot install my realtek 8187b wireless card!!!ç [02:08] PdUb101: Because you have crossed over to the light. :) [02:08] LordOllie, so does that mean the hdd is bad or could it be something in the cmos? [02:08] how can i repair a damaged install from commandline? [02:08] Steve-cal: on the repos there is a wpasupplicant, but it says I already have the latest version. When I run wpa_supplicant, it says "Version 0.5.8" [02:08] doolph: Were you here earlier? Have you tried ndiswrapper for your card? [02:08] does anyone know if/when we might get gparted 0.3.7 as an available option to install on Ubuntu? [02:09] does anybody know if virtualbox 1.6 ose packages are in the works of being created? [02:09] chrisbdaemon, it could be a bios problem with upper or lower addresses or disk issues, have you removed a disk from the machine? [02:09] BigPick, it used to say Ubuntu ??? and now i can't see some things that i could see before, like system > Preferences > Hardware [02:09] hi ppl [02:09] glor You can always get gparted livecd if there is some new feature you must have [02:09] ian_liu88: OK, we'll assume it's OK then. Which type of WPA are you using? Enterprise or Personal? [02:09] Steve-cal: Personal [02:10] Steve-cal, yes I have tried that [02:10] LordOllie not i, but i bought the computer used. what i'm confused about is the fact that it booted a couple of times just fine [02:10] whisperkiller, if you reboot you should find a option in grub menu to restore [02:10] PdUb101 What did yo just install .. kubuntu desktop or kde etc? [02:10] Steve-cal, I can only see the access points, but it cannot connect [02:10] then suddenly died [02:10] i get this error when trying to run apt /usr/bin/python: error while loading shared libraries: libutil.so.1: cannot open shared object file: Error 27 [02:10] the latest version of puppy uses 2.6, right? [02:11] bloodrock: i dont [02:11] chrisbdaemon, it could be disk problems, if you haven't removed any disks from it since you got it and it worked fine before. [02:11] changed cdrw to dvdrw, how do I fix fstab? [02:11] Jack_Sparrow, i have no idea, i was following a thread on how to get themes to work and now it says kubuntu at startup, and some things aren't working right [02:11] ian_liu88: And if you pull up your Linksys router configuration page, under "Advanced Wireless Settings" what is the "authentication type" set to? [02:11] what kernel does puppy linux use? [02:11] PdUb101 You need to look at that tutorial and see what you installed [02:11] please, a command to know how much space is left on hd? [02:12] df -h ? [02:12] anybody have any experience with getting Stellarium up and running, i am currently getting an error [02:12] LordOllie, thats not what i want to hear :P lol, so the disk is probably bad then? [02:12] Jack_Sparrow thanx [02:12] doolph: Are you trying to connect to APs with encryption or are they open-access? [02:12] Steve-cal: its "auto" [02:12] is there you can just dump something with lynx ? like lynx -dump http://blah.file > /tmp/file [02:12] np [02:12] they have WPA [02:12] tinin - have you seen the Disk Usage Analyzer ? [02:12] * frankie_ is also accident [02:12] no [02:12] can someone PLEASE help me figure out what i can do to fix my laptop....it is royally boned and none of the simple stuff will work [02:12] no m-c [02:12] tinin - Applications -> Accessories menu [02:13] what kernel does puppy linux use? [02:13] whisperkiller why not reinstall if it is that messed up [02:13] Steve-cal: There is a "WPA Shared Key" on Wireless Secuity [02:13] chrisbdaemon, I am by no means a grub expert, but if there has been no bios changes and no hardware changes it is what makes sense to me. [02:13] !ot | frankie_ [02:13] frankie_: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [02:13] I have tried with this one too http://www.datanorth.net/~cuervo/rtl8187b/ [02:13] because my cd rom is messed up and i cannot find my usb stick [02:13] chrisbdaemon, http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Stage2-errors [02:13] whisperkiller: I've had a similar error on gutsy once, which was fixed by reinstalling some python library [02:13] m-c I need a command to use in a old notebook with icewm ;) [02:13] whisperkiller, what happened....tell us everything [02:13] Anyone have a link to an article how to install Windows on a USB drive from Ubuntu? All the ones I seen require a running Windows installation [02:13] LordOllie, do you know if theres some kind of way to test the hdd? [02:13] !fsck [02:13] fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [02:13] it will not boot and gives me python errors and a command line @ root [02:13] hexoroid: Yes. There's a command line option to output to a file. Or that may be links I'm thinking of, not lynx. [02:14] http://pastebin.com/m2e35896 --- i get this error when i try using starting it up [02:14] zelrikriando he dropped it while booting [02:14] ho [02:14] oh even [02:14] ian_liu88: Can you turn off your encryption and try connecting? That might give some clues here what is causing your problems... [02:14] i cannot ping my router so i cannot figure out how to reinstall python [02:14] whis do a apt-get python [02:14] zelrikriando niether the hd or cd will work [02:14] Steve-cal: Ok [02:14] puff i thought there was a lynx -dump not sure [02:14] Ok, trying again!! I just figured out my wireless mouse doesn't trigger any compiz events, or toggle windows correctly. When I put a $5 el cheapo in, and restarted X.. bam! all compiz bindings work, and window toggling is A-OKAY! Is there any way to try a different .. mouse driver?? [02:14] whisperkiller, buy a new laptop [02:15] chrisbdaemon, this might do the trick http://www.sysresccd.org/Main_Page [02:15] thanks but i can do without the jokes....been 2 days trying to fix this [02:15] dez5y: look into using different X settings [02:15] whisperkiller, if you droped it... === DBLobster is now known as U09526 [02:15] whisperkiller: I don't think zelrikriando was joking, and I agree with the statement [02:15] m-c, as in look at what X set for my wired el cheapo, and copy it for my wireless mouse? [02:15] Help please! i type in the terminal -> sudo umount -o loop /home/hendaus/Desktop/afro-aitd_tnn.ISO ~/Desktop [02:15] and after that i see my desktop has a lock icon on each folder and disappear manythings from my Desktop [02:15] whisperkiller That is what happened right.. [02:15] doolph: Can you try to connect to any APs without encryption? That might be holding you up right now. [02:15] LordOllie, thanks. I appreciate the help :P [02:15] Steve-cal: Yes, disabling WPA works [02:15] hexoroid: lynx --help, or 'man lynx'. I'm afraid I'm in the middle of reinstalling from scratch (drive failure, ugh) so I don't have it installed ot check. [02:16] chrisbdaemon, no problem [02:16] hello how can i print in my screen the name of the partitions i currently have in my harddrive im not sure if they are hda or sda [02:16] tico: df -h [02:16] tico: 'sudo fdisk -l' [02:16] nice, my new philips mp3 player works ootb [02:16] puff: thanks [02:16] guys this was my sisters laptop and she was murdered last year....im not buying a new laptop [02:16] puff: that will only show mounted partitions (tico) [02:16] ian_liu88: OK, so there's where your problem is... [02:16] what is the best WYSIWYG web design app for ubuntu? [02:16] !html [02:16] html is HyperText Markup Language, used to build web pages. WYSIWYG editors: KompoZer (was Nvu), Iceape Composer, Amaya - Development environments: Bluefish, Quanta+, Screem - For a howto on HTML coding, see: http://www.w3schools.com/ [02:16] soundray: ok [02:16] whisperkiller: that's sad [02:16] tico: df -h will show you -- what soundray said. [02:16] !best [02:16] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [02:16] LordOllie: Maybe you could update linuxcompatible.org with your device information, and help others deciding whether to purchase the same [02:17] whisperkiller: that you'll never upgrade [02:17] whisperkiller, If the laptop is damaged...you cant do anything about it... [02:17] i can't remember, where do i go to change what application opens with certain files [02:17] Steve-cal: At D-Link router, there was another security, I think it was WPA / WPA2, which I guessed it was WPA and WPA2 compatibility [02:17] whisperkiller, why not just reinstall that be your best bet [02:17] theFATMAN: emacs. [02:17] yeah i would really appreciate it if someone whos expereince would help me figure out some way of getting the damned thing to boot [02:17] TaRDy: right click the file - go to properties [02:17] Steve-cal: I will try WPA 2 === hagabaka` is now known as hagabaka [02:17] theFATMAN: there is *no* "best" wysiwyg web design app, because the web IS NOT WYSIWYG. [02:17] example, any video media that opens from firefox chooses totem or something else and i want VLC [02:17] whisperkiller: the least you will have to do is to replace the hard disk drive [02:17] yeah i can get it fixed but i really dont think its that damaged [02:17] whisperkiller Buy a usb stick.. or take it to a professional else you are wasting your time otherwise not to mention ours [02:17] TaRDy: you can add, remove, and change the default applications that open a file [02:18] puff, thanks, true, but it helps to go from HTML to design [02:18] ian_liu88: With your encryption key, do you have it set to ASCII or HEX? [02:18] TaRDy: oh, you mean within Firefox? [02:18] puff, do you use emacs? [02:18] whisperkiller, I agree with Jack_Sparrow .... [02:18] -c, (sorry can't type your name?) mostly firefox [02:18] i have a usb stick but i think my toddler must have flushed it [02:18] is there any advantage installing 64bit instead of 32bit??? [02:18] hi all how do i get my headphone's jack workin i have a toshiba a135 s7404 laptop [02:18] its not muted [02:18] not everyone can afford to just go out and buy crap [02:18] tryed alsamixer and hit M key couple times [02:18] Steve-cal: Well, looking to the Key, I suppose it is ASC [02:19] i remember there was a way I was able to choose what handles mms:// links before [02:19] doolph, its based on ur actual cpu [02:19] whisperkiller, a memory stick is not that expensive... [02:19] theFATMAN: I doubt there is much out there in the linxu world. hm... http://webdesign.about.com/od/htmleditors/tp/aatpwyslinux.htm [02:19] TaRDy: use right click for the file manager, at least --- you might need to ask in #firefox for web-files [02:19] yeah? [02:19] theFATMAN, my cpu is amd 64 [02:19] whisperkiller A $9 usb stick... isnt worth the time you have already spent on this [02:19] TaRDy: that's MIME filetypes [02:19] you dont think so? [02:19] Steve-cal: I don't have an option for ASC or HEX [02:19] puff, thats what i was afraid of [02:19] theFATMAN: Yeah, I do web design the old fashioned^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hright way. [02:19] thats a pack of diapers [02:19] i feel stupid for asking this but i just installed vmware and i cant figure out which folder to run vmware out of, anyone know? [02:19] you could even borrow one [02:19] doolph: it's faster with certain applications and it supports more memory. It may or may not be good for you [02:19] whisperkiller, you can borrow one...no? [02:19] doolph, then u want the 64bit, for sure [02:19] thank you [02:19] no [02:19] nathanial: not much information about vmware or other closed applications here [02:20] i dont know anyone who owns one [02:20] TaRDy: you bet [02:20] its not important [02:20] can anyone help me figure out my headphone's jack problem on my toshiba laptop a135 s7404 [02:20] puff, tomato ta-ma-to [02:20] m-c, oh thats an M, it looks like a red box when you were saying my name [02:20] your guys arent going to help me so im going to quit wasting your time and mine [02:20] have a nice night [02:20] Steve-cal: no success with WPA2 [02:20] whisperkiller: feeling sorry for yourself won't fix it either [02:20] whisperkiller Good luck [02:21] theFATMAN: Well, I have yet to see a wysiwyg editor that gets it right, since I started doing web work in 1994. [02:21] soundray, attitude is everything homie [02:21] theFATMAN: so. [02:21] theFATMAN: pardon? [02:21] ian_liu88: I suppose you could try "WPA enterprise" [02:21] puff, no dreamweaver? [02:21] whisperkiller, did you try doing a reinstall? [02:21] soundray: i think he meant ot direct that at whisperkiller. [02:21] soundray, no offense, but ur a lil abrasive [02:22] theFATMAN: Dreamweaver was the best of the lot in 1999, but it still had a bad habit of locking down table sizes in pixels. [02:22] no...i dont feel sorry for myself...i feel sorry for my sister who was 6 months preagnant and was stabbed to death in her own apartment....i feel sorry for my mom who had to pay 75 bucks to have it shipped to her when she makes 700 dollars a month in disability [02:22] theFATMAN: He's also one of the most helpful people here. [02:22] !ot | whisperkiller [02:22] whisperkiller: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [02:22] someone gave me a link to instructions on how to set up dual-boot with Ubuntu installed first and Windows XP installed after, but I bookmarked it on my Ubuntu partition. just wondering if it's unusual to get hd(0,0) from a grub> find /boot/grub/stage1 since the example page had it giving hd(0,1) [02:22] fuck you jack [02:22] im out [02:22] whisperkiller, that s sad for you sister but the laptop is a separate issue [02:23] puff, huh, i am not as experienced as you, lol, i have only used FrontPage and dreamweaver [02:23] anyone familiar with getting headphone jacks enabled [02:23] theFATMAN: I don't think your criticism is justified. I feel peuple have given whisperkiller good advice, and he's not exactly showing signs of accepting the truth in that advice, much less being grateful for it. [02:23] soundray, i wasnt trying to be rude, friend, but it just came off as...u know what, nevermind, none of my biz [02:23] Chaotic_Descent: Grub starts numbering with 0, so the hd(0,0) means your first harddrive and the first partition (which is most likely your windows partition.) [02:24] theFATMAN: exactly, and I'd appreciate if you didn't address me as 'homie' or 'friend' [02:24] Nostahl, did you check volume control to see if headphone vol is turned up [02:24] Jack_Sparrow and soundray : Thank you very much for your relentless pursuit of supporting, at no cost, these anonymous Ubuntu users. Regardless of anyone's criticism here, your efforts are sure appreciated by me, at least!! :-) [02:24] I'm having problems upgrading this package: gdm_2.20.6-0ubuntu1_i386.deb if I download it manually, is there a way to tell the package installer to upgrade? [02:24] Steve-cal: I will try [02:24] Thanks m-c [02:24] bloodrock aye its turned on and i hit M a few times to check and unplugged and replugged in to double check [02:24] well, either whisperkiller is a troll, or he has problems far larger than we can fix here. [02:24] steve-cal, ok, thanks. I was worried because they said hd(0,0) was the master boot record. my first partition would actually be Ubuntu. [02:24] pcm is turned up and master is as well to check [02:25] You are champions of Free Software. [02:25] soundray, i know the help i here is voluntary, so....duly noted....sorry dude, i'll just call ya soundray then, my apologies for being friendly, since this is a support channel and i have gotten my help, i'll leave you be [02:25] Nostahl, what about the switches tab is headphones checked [02:25] hello to all [02:25] m-c`thanks. we just didnt have much to work with.. after two days... we really couldnt help him [02:25] let me see [02:25] !hi | cjsze [02:25] cjsze: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [02:25] Is anyone capable of playing *.3gp cell phone videos in ubuntu with sound? [02:25] BCM43, hi [02:25] guess we'll see if that worked. :) [02:26] thank BCM43 ubottu [02:26] cjsze FYI Ubottu ... is a bot [02:27] m-c, i think it was gconf-editor i was looking for [02:27] thank for the info Jack_Sparrow [02:27] hrmm i dont see switches tab [02:27] ChaosTheory_: Hmmm, I would be a little wary of that tutorial then. :) [02:27] Sorry to keep coming back. My wireless mouse doesn't trigger compiz events - however, my $5 el cheapo does.. I can literally switch mouses during the same session, the wireless won't trigger compiz bindings - but the cheapo will.. any ideas?? [02:28] Nostahl, what is your sound device [02:28] its a toshiba a135 s7404 [02:28] hda intel [02:28] it lists [02:28] !enter | Nostahl [02:28] Nostahl: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [02:28] it also lists it as realtek alc861-vd [02:28] Nostahl: thanks [02:29] any one know something about vpn connection setup in ubuntu ? [02:29] !anyone | Bshkot [02:29] Bshkot: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [02:29] dose anyone know something about vpn connection setup in ubuntu ? [02:30] sorry for my bad eng [02:30] I just installed the 64bit Ubuntu version and all I get is a bar on the bottom two desktop boxes and a trash bin? [02:30] Bshkot: just ask a question about it, we will do our best to answer it [02:30] no, he meant it would be more useful to say "i am trying to setup a vpn connection, but my computer caught fire and said file not found, help?" [02:30] I cant even find the applications menu or the control panel help!!! [02:30] ok im having trouble Running Guild Wars with Wine on Ubuntu...not could it be that i installed the wrong Ubuntu that it doesnt work properly? [02:31] Bshkot: your English isn't the problem. You should say what difficulties you experience, rather than asking for "anyone'"s experience [02:31] lol [02:31] Nostahl, when you click on file in the volume control and change device does it give you several options of devices [02:31] wat a big help [02:31] can u guys help me [02:31] thnx [02:31] im lonely [02:31] haha jk [02:31] no really im lonely but i need help too [02:31] newbieubuntu, please be patient. [02:32] cj_: What's it doing, or not doing? (Note: I don't play GW, I play WoW but it could be unrelated to the choice in game) [02:32] bloodrock aye [02:32] my ubuntu installed without giving me any programs or application menu or anything... its bare! what do i do [02:32] newbieubuntu: right click the bottom panel and see if you can add the top one [02:32] so, has anyone else had this problem? with the new upgrade, links from pidgin and thunderbird no longer open in firefox (have to copy/paste the URL). emacs, however, can do it. [02:32] newbieubuntu: Do you have a top panel at all? [02:32] http://google.com (testing link in pidgin) [02:32] when i try to start it the Loading screen comes up then it freezes [02:32] newbieubuntu: then add the system menu to the top panel. [02:32] Does anyone have any idea why I would be able to see all the wireless networks around me, but not be able to connect? I used ndiswrapper to install the drivers for my card. It claims it is supported. When I look at ndiswrapper -l the device and driver seem to be recognized. [02:32] Nope, Pidgin launched the link just fine [02:33] Catslacks, I'm in the same situation [02:33] most interesting [02:33] The_PHP_Jedi: what card do you have? [02:33] is anyone here using vim as IDE? [02:33] Fishscene: firefox 3b5? [02:33] Catslacks, which encryption method are you using? I tried WPA (with wpa_supplicant) and WEP, and nothing works. It works in my old install of Feisty and Debian. [02:33] I tried them all. [02:33] Catslacks: What is your wireless card chipset? [02:33] Nostahl, when you option the volume control click on file> change device if there are serveral options for diff devives try messing with those [02:33] Catslacks, it's a netgear card. Don't recall the exact model number [02:33] cj_: It could be a number of things. The version of Ubuntu isn't likely a factor. Do you have the proper driver installed for your graphics card? [02:34] *open [02:34] bloodrock i opened all of them and none of htem affect it [02:34] Thanks that was a start.... Now next question... How do I use Beryl on this baby [02:34] Steve-cal: My wireless card is a D-Link DWA542. I can get the exact output of lspci if you want, but it's on a different computer. [02:34] newbieubuntu, why beryl? [02:34] durka, yes [02:34] yes [02:34] zelrikriando: I like the graphical interface and the cool effects [02:35] does it come preinstalled with ubuntu i heard? [02:35] newbieubuntu: stick with compiz-fusion. System-Preferences-Appearance-Desktop Effects === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [02:35] how do i get to system [02:35] ? [02:35] i am following tutorial on internet conection sharing , but it seems i cant get it to work. it looks pretty straight forward but after i reboot i lose connection to internet. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=91370 , any help is appriciated. [02:35] newbieubuntu: ^^ [02:35] Nostahl, you sure your plugging phones into correct jack [02:35] newbieubuntu, Beryl is old...Compiz-fusion is the one you want [02:35] Catslacks: If there are all ready drivers for your chipset that came with Ubuntu, you need to blacklist them to use ndiswrapper. Did you do anything like that by chance? You may need to. [02:36] Newbie, the top bar has the word "system" [02:36] I just booted my computer and in the grub screen it looked like I had installed another copy of ubuntu with a different kernel (one said 2.something.something-16-generic, and the other was 17, or something like it). What's going on and do I need to worry? [02:36] does anyone know if its possible to do a cli-only install from the ubuntu live/desktop cd. [02:36] newbieubuntu, look at my account on youtube (zelrikriandooo) there are some cool vids for you :) [02:36] Steve-cal: I blacklisted them already. [02:36] TeslaTony: did you just update the kernel? as in apt-get update [02:36] TeslaTony: if you did, the old entries stay in the grub list [02:37] i just looked at Ubuntu i know i DL and installed the wrong one for my PC now so im going to try and install that one [02:37] cj_: Have you followed any of the tutorials on getting it to work? A google search will net you quite a few... [02:37] newbieubuntu: add the Menu Bar applet to the top panel. [02:37] Catslacks: OK, and did you say whether you can connect to an AP without encryption? [02:37] Steve-cal: I tried, but I can't. [02:37] Steve-cal: I can see them all though. [02:37] bloodrock in alsamixer there is no 00 or MM under pcm [02:38] what does that mean [02:38] fen_: no. Only the alternate and server CDs have the text-based installer [02:38] durka: Ahhh...I'm not sure, but I did install some updates. Should I bother removing the old listings? Or will they automaticall go away? [02:38] Catslacks: If you do a "sudo iwlist scan" does it show all the networks? [02:38] i have spent 2 days now trying to get it to work and just realized the Ubuntu i DL was the wrong one [02:38] TeslaTony: they don't go away, but they don't do much harm... plus if the new kernel borks something you can try booting with an old one [02:38] Steve-cal: Bear with me, it's on a computer that's kind of far away so I'm running back and forth. I'll check, brb. [02:39] How is it the wrong one? [02:39] cj_: arrgh. What have you downloaded? [02:39] durka: Groovy. Thanks. That's probably what went wrong with my madwifi driver, then [02:39] Nostahl, what do you mean by no 00 or mm [02:39] what do you mean which Ubuntu did i DL? [02:39] newbieubuntu, if you have any concern or you dont have the 'task bar' please let me know [02:39] Steve-cal: Yes, they are all listed [02:40] TeslaTony: If it really bothers you to see it as a option on boot-up, you can always remove it from your Grub boot screen. [02:40] Why do you say you downloaded the wrong Ubuntu? [02:40] cj_: you said it was the wrong one. So which is it? [02:40] Steve-cal, I'm having the same issue as Catslacks [02:40] Hey all. [02:40] 64bit AMD and Intel computers << is the one i need [02:40] who can i format my external disc [02:40] ? [02:40] I have a problem with booting ubuntu.... [02:40] i386 should work fine [02:41] Steve-cal: Nah. I was really curious as to why I had it. Like durka said, I might as well leave it for now [02:41] TeslaTony: looking at /boot/grub/menu.lst, the listings for the all the kernels (current and old) are automagically generated on kernel update, so I'm not sure you could remove them. however it looks like there is a preference you can set in the file so it will start dropping old entries after a set number of them. look for "howmany" [02:41] zelrikriando: I wonder if newbieubuntu's installation went wrong beyond the top panel missing [02:41] my ubuntu doestn regconaise it [02:41] i DL and installed >>>Standard personal computer (x86 architecture, PentiumTM, CeleronTM, AthlonTM, SempronTM) [02:41] XxScHw4RtZxX: Whats the problem? [02:41] and even my xp [02:41] It says something like activating swapfile or something for like 10 minutes, what is that and why does it take so long [02:41] what can i do [02:41] cj_: not necessarily -- the 32bit i386 installation will work fine on yours [02:41] soundray, yeah... [02:41] oh [02:41] XxScHw4RtZxX: I have the same problem.... just press Ctrl+alt+del and it will go..... [02:42] soundray, that s weird...when I right click on my desktop I dont have any menu coming [02:42] so it will make no difference [02:42] bloodrock open up terminal and type alsamixer [02:42] there should be a 00 or MM under each channel [02:42] maybe that's because I have been messing up with it [02:42] yo can some one help me [02:42] Catslacks: OK, good sign, and what is the output of "ifconfig" and "iwconfig"? Can you try and connect with something like "sudo dhclient wlan0" or whatever your card is (eth1, wlan0, etc)? (I think that's the right syntax) [02:42] Oh, well why does it do that, the first time I installed it it didn't. Then I reinstalled Ubuntu, and now it does it. [02:42] What causes it? [02:42] keops: just ask the question [02:42] Steve-cal: I'll go try, give me 2 mins. [02:42] durka: Thanks for the help. [02:43] XxScHw4RtZxX: same for me... first time it worked without doing that and then i reinstalled also.... LoL... i dont know why... but it's not a "problem" i don't think... [02:43] ok i brough a new external disc and my pc doestn regconaise it [02:43] zelrikriando: by default, nautilus is responsible for generating a desktop context menu [02:43] Steve-cal, iwconfig gives the standard info, but it's not associated with any access point (obviously). [02:43] i want to know what to do [02:43] oh thanks anyways ^_^ I'll try the ctrl alt del thing next time i reboot. [02:43] Steve-cal, I'm using static IPs, but still it's not connecting. [02:43] The_PHP_Jedi: Exactly the same problem as Catslacks? Can't even connect to a non-encrypted AP? Just curious, might help us troubleshoot. [02:43] keops: what is the name of it? [02:43] i dont know [02:43] cuz i dont even see it [02:44] keops: i thought it was external? [02:44] Steve-cal, yeah, exactly the same problem. Not sure on unsecure APs, as my modem doesn't allow you to set no encryption at all. [02:44] soundray, I removed 'show desktop' in nautilus preferences...maybe that is why [02:44] cj_: My guess is that you either need to tweak the graphics settings or the wine configuration. In my experience those have been the major obstacles. [02:44] And limited, another problem, sometimes I cannot open like anything [02:44] yep [02:44] XxScHw4RtZxX: yeah i wouldn't mind knowing why it does that..... let me know if you find out... Do you have yahoo/AIM or MSN? [02:44] but is new [02:44] Nostahl, oh i see i rarely use terminal i use the volume control by right clicking on lil speaker on panel lol [02:44] keops: why cant you see it? [02:44] XxScHw4RtZxX: what do you mean? [02:44] lol in the pc [02:44] Yes lane i have aim [02:44] Should we talk on there [02:44] Steve-cal, I have tried both WEP open/shared, and WPA1. WPA used to work on my old install of Feisty and Debian Etch, but the same config doesn't work in Ubuntu Hardy. [02:44] arent u asking me about the name on the pc [02:44] XxScHw4RtZxX: we could [02:45] K my s/n is blakhawk006 [02:45] The_PHP_Jedi: What chipset is yours? [02:45] OK. I have a flv which Totem says needs a codec. So I install on2/vp6 codec. Video plays. Audio needs codec. I install. Audio plays. But now video does not. It ping-pongs back and forth in this way. Any resolution to this? [02:45] !private | XxScHw4RtZxX [02:45] XxScHw4RtZxX: 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. [02:45] soundray, is there a keyboard shortcut for that? [02:45] keops: look on the physical thing, what is the name? [02:45] Catslacks: Hmmm. Do you get any errors when you try to connect? What about if you do a "dmesg" in the terminal--do you see what the wireless errors are? [02:45] newbieubuntu, you still alive? [02:46] o [02:46] he was eaten by a grue [02:46] is a samsung [02:46] i have tryed different configs with Wine how to i tweak my Graphic settings? [02:46] Steve-cal, Marvell Tech Group Ltd. 99w8335 [Libertas] -- it's a netgear card. [02:46] zelrikriando: no. But it has the same entries as any folder context menu, plus a "Change background" item [02:47] keops: a samsung what? [02:47] Nostahl, when you right click lil spaeker icon on panel and open volume control does it show pcm in there [02:47] but i dont have the model and these stuff [02:47] I went to Appearance and desktop effects How do I now add fire and those different color star effects when closing windows? [02:47] ok let me see [02:47] zelrikriando: well, roughly the same [02:47] Incidentally I can convert to avi with ffmpeg without incident and both streams seem to stay intact [02:47] !ccsm | newbieubuntu [02:47] newbieubuntu: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy), install 'simple-ccsm'.

[02:48] keops: did you find the model name? [02:48] zelrikriando: well, tell nautilus to show the desktop of course... [02:48] newbieubuntu, http://fr.youtube.com/user/zelrikriandooo [02:48] The_PHP_Jedi: I can't believe it--you are using almost the exact same chip I am--I've got a Libertas 88w8335. Mine works great with ndiswrapper. [02:49] soundray, I dont want to [02:49] Nostahl, if it shows it but shows a red x chlick it to unmute it [02:49] no bro i dont have it [02:49] soundray, I have good reasons for now showing the desktop [02:49] Steve-cal, mine works great with ndiswrapper as well on other distros. I don't know why it isn't working on this fresh install of Hardy. [02:49] this is the first Error i get.... err:d3d:WineD3D_ChoosePixelFormat Can't find a suitable iPixelFormat [02:49] keops: how could you buy something without finding out the model number?

[02:49] its not mine [02:49] no red x [02:50] As a Windows turned Linux user, I have to say that the Linux community has been very friendly and welcoming. This is judging from a few forums and this IRC channel. So, thanks to all the experienced users for all the help. :) [02:50] hi guys, was trying to install vsftpd on my new server but 0% [Connecting to us.archive.ubuntu.com (91.189.88.45)] is down [02:50] soundray, that just scares me that I cant bring it [02:50] is there a way i can skip this server? [02:50] soundray, not that I dont need it [02:50] oops [02:50] not that I need it that is [02:50] keops: ah, look all around it. still nothing? [02:50] how do i enable wpa? [02:50] buggmaster, fix your DNS/internet connection. [02:50] harpreet, use wpa_supplicant. [02:50] harpreet: it depends on the wireless card [02:50] i cant even ping this server [02:50] its down [02:50] hello. how do I find out if my computer has PCI Express and/or PCI? And furthermore, how do I find out to which one is my graphics card connected? [02:50] ping the ip [02:51] Steve-cal: Are you still here? I had to run to the other computer to get the output and burn it to a disc, haha [02:51] buggmaster: The repos have been buggy all afternoon. [02:51] #surabaya [02:51] buggmaster: works fine for me, something on your end [02:51] The_PHP_jedi, is it some package i have to install? [02:51] buggmaster, it's up here. [02:51] Catslacks: Still here. :) [02:51] where is here [02:51] harpreet, it should be already installed. Check UbuntuForums.org for more info on how to configure for your card. [02:51] andresj: The `lspci` command can get you that information. [02:51] buggmaster, here = caribbean. [02:51] zelrikriando: if nautilus isn't managing your desktop, it can't give you a context menu. Maybe there are other programs you can install, that will manage the root window in such a way that you get a customizable context menu, but I'm not aware of any.

[02:51] its just says that is firewire [02:52] Nostahl, did you try ubuntu forums see if anyone else has had same trouble [02:52] soundray, ok [02:52] and have 160gb [02:52] !pastebin | Catslacks [02:52] !paste | Catslacks [02:52] Catslacks: 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) [02:52] but nothing else [02:52] jbroome: nooooooo, you beat me to it [02:52] * The_PHP_Jedi also plugs http://slexy.org as a pastebin :P [02:52] Catslacks: You bet: pastebin.com [02:52] they must have half the world firewalled... its plain ignoring requests [02:52] why is it that i keep getting problems playing vids.... and also i have problems opening multiple sound files [02:52] Steve-cal: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15456/ [02:52] can I regenerate fstab after an upgrade from gutsy to hardy? [02:52] although i installed all drivers needed [02:52] soundray, actually not showing the desktop is a work-around to get several wallpapers (one on each face of the cube) [02:52] BigPick: what should I look for in its output? [02:52] buggmaster: No clue, its been hella slow even when you get through though. [02:53] I typed this ' sudo apt-get install simple-ccsm' but it wasn't found [02:53] keops: without the name of it, i cant help you. sorry [02:53] does ubuntu come with simple-ccsm or do i have to dl it [02:53] cj_: This thread might be useful.

[02:53] i can't use media players when I have certain browsers open, and other odd stuff [02:53] so there is no alt servers? [02:53] i delete this OS then lol [02:53] newbieubuntu: you have to enable universe in software sources under adminstration [02:54] buggmaster, try your local servers, or the servers of some other country [02:54] newbieubuntu: make sure the 'universe' repository is enabled.

[02:56] andresj: That will give you the entire map of your system as PCI sees it. [02:56] bloodrock i fixed it i modifyed alsa-base [02:56] heh [02:56] ty for your help [02:56] BigPick: Oh thanks :D So if my graphics card is on 00:05.0 and my two PCI Express controlers are on 00:02.0 and 00:04.0, it means that I can still connect a new PCI Express card to do dual monitor, right? [02:56] Steve-cal, dmesg returns 'ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready' '....wlan0: link becomes ready' and then 'wlan0: no IPv6 routers present' [02:57] tarvid: I think you need to restart gnome after making those changes [02:57] How do I unarchive a .bz2 file? [02:57] Catslacks: I'm not sure what is going on with you and The_PHP_Jedi. Let me check some of my notes and maybe we can come up with an idea of what to try next. [02:57] even tried rebooting [02:57] andresj: I honestly don't know how the numbering schemes operate. [02:57] Steve-cal, sure. Just highlight me. :) [02:57] What do people use for playing shoutcast stuff? [02:57] others have complained of the same problem after upgrading from cd to dvd [02:57] BigPick: I see... thanks for the help anyways :) [02:57] Ok, I am very new to Linux. What the heck is initramfs? My other computer is dual-booting Win XP and Ubuntu installed using wubi. After it told me there were updates booting stops at initramfs and will not do anything. === tscolin is now known as _tscolin [02:58] poseidon: with bunzip2 (or tar jxf if it's a tar.bz2) [02:58] Anybody know how the PCI numbering schemes operate? :) [02:58] Specifically, streaming mp3s, .pls files? [02:58] andresj: I should, but I usually let the headers take care of the low level details :P [02:58] puff: vlc maybe? [02:58] Steve-cal: thanks for your help. It's pretty frustrating, haha. [02:58] andresj: What exactly are you trying to do? [02:58] The_PHP_Jedi, Catslacks: I probably should have asked this to begin with, but are you guys on 64 bit machines or 32 bit? [02:59] soundray, thanks. It was tar.bz2 :) [02:59] Steve-cal: 32 [02:59] krim: Worth a shot. [02:59] Steve-cal, 32 bit. [02:59] poseidon: don't install software from it if you can at all avoid it. [02:59] is there a way to do a sort of "frugal install" of windows? install it into a partition in your linux installation and reload GRUB to show windows as an option? i need windows for something but dont have any extra hard drives to sacrifice[other than a 80GB SATA, but my mobo has no SATA now] [02:59] soundray, install? You mean install the software inside it? [03:00] BigPick: well I have two monitors, but my current graphics card can only use one. I'm looking for a solution to have dual monitor. I have been told that I can connect one graphic card to PCI and the other to AGP, thus having two outputs. But AGP is expensive, so I was looking to see if using PCI Express isntead was good for my computer. [03:00] poseidon: so it is a software package... what are you trying to install? [03:00] this is too slow, im going to bed. good night #ubuntu [03:00] PCI-E would probably be better in the long-run. It's the new standard and AGP is practically dead. [03:00] soundray, I'm compiling ogre3d [03:01] I am trying to open up firefox and when I open it the window doesn't come up. I tried going into the system processes to see what was up and I saw that it was in "sleeping" mode. Every time I click on firefox to open it up, it immediately goes into sleep mode. I tried killing the firefox process and re-opening firefox, but that didn't work. I don't really feel like restarting lol, should I just restart? [03:01] andresj: The deciding factor is really what is physically available on your motherboard. Pop the hood and get out the manual. :P [03:01] poseidon: okay, you seem to know what you're doing. Do have a look at checkinstall, though [03:01] hey all. I hope I am in the right chatroom. I am using feisty and am a newbie. I am trying to mount a bad external hardrive (windows) to obtain some data off it before I wipe it. Am I in the right place? [03:01] !checkinstall | poseidon [03:01] poseidon: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! [03:02] AlexRADL: hmmm... that's an odd problem for sure [03:02] AlexRADL: is firefox actually not working? [03:02] andresj: This might be helpful http://pci-ids.ucw.cz/iii/ [03:02] BigPick: well that's why I wanted to see if this stuff was viewable within Linux, to avoid having to turn the machine off and open it :) [03:02] soundray, thanks. I was going to look into making a debian package soon :) [03:03] Linkified: http://pci-ids.ucw.cz/iii/ [03:03] AlexRADL: open terminal and type ps aux|grep firefox [03:03] D'oh [03:03] geekymom: say what the problem is and we'll work out whether this is the best place to get help. [03:03] Fen: ok, I'll try that [03:03] andresj: Your going to have to open it up anyway, don't be scared. Electricity feels like puppy kisses. [03:03] Nice name, geekymom lol [03:03] Zeus: yeah. Attracts help ;) [03:03] monkeybritches: thanks :) but I think that's for product names, not slots :P [03:04] BCM43, i have the model [03:04] BigPick: I know... I'm just lazy :) [03:04] its a laptop hard drive [03:04] double d'oh! :) [03:04] I'm running Ubuntu on a sony vaio UX [03:04] andresj: HAHA, yeah me too. Its the only way to be sure though. Chipsets will report open slots that don't actually exist. [03:04] I am using my dual-booted laptop and trying to mount an external usb harddrive. I am a newbie and not extremely comfortable with this. I have looked in my media folder and my windows folder is sda1. [03:05] geekymom: you are indeed in the right place! [03:05] great!! === oooo is now known as hhhaa [03:05] geekymom: So what exactly do you need help with at this juncture? === hhhaa is now known as oooo [03:06] BigPick: :) I see I see... do you know what I should be looking for to find an open PCI Express slot (in the hardware)? [03:06] geekymom: sda1 is most likely not your external drive, though. Can you do a 'sudo fdisk -l' and see if the external drive's partitions are listed? [03:06] geekymom: And don't worry, I've recovered data off of NTFS drives that have been repartitioned and reformatted with just linux. [03:07] howcome its not letting me change my name [03:07] BigPick: wow. gpart? testdisk? [03:07] I do not see it...it is list my ntfs on the laptop as well as sda2 (linux swap) and 3 as well as 4 as linux [03:07] ketamin[e]_: because someone might already be using the name that you're trying to use? [03:07] andresj: Ack, your bringing back my A+ certification days... erm, the owners manual is your best bet :P [03:08] Starnestommy: but its mine :{ i have the pw for it [03:08] soundray: nope, just ntfstools on knoppix [03:08] BigPick: I don't have any owners manual... :( [03:08] * soundray is impressed [03:08] ketamin[e]_: /msg nickserv ghost [03:08] BigPick: only a couple of promotional papers [03:08] geekymom: how is the drive connected to your computer? USB? [03:09] didnt work [03:09] folks, can anyone tell me how to change the default port on vnc: 5900 [03:09] I have the harddrive enclosed in a usb case and plugged in via usb [03:09] ketamin[e]_: did you type the nick without the < and >? [03:09] Starnestommy: yep [03:10] ketamin[e]_: you may have used the wrong password [03:10] geekymom: can you see any error messages relating to plugging in the drive when you enter dmesg? [03:10] Starnestommy: but it's not even letting me change it in another channel [03:10] andresj: I got nothin. Google? [03:11] ketamin[e]_: you might be in a channel that doesn't let you change nicks for some reason [03:11] hols on [03:11] BigPick: :) k I think Wikipedia has a couple of helpful pictures :) [03:12] I'm having a problem booting the latest kernel on my laptop (or any 2.6.24 kernel, for that matter). My system boots fine in 2.6.22. The error is that it can't find my hard disk. When I boot I strip the "quiet splash" options off, and it reports that /dev/disk/by-uuid/blahblah does not exist. It kicks me to a busybox terminal and indeed /dev/disk/by-uuid/ is not present. [03:12] Hi. Anyone using Emacs from CVS ? [03:12] * BigPick grovels at the feet of all knowing wikipedia. [03:12] ahhh i still like vista [03:12] lol [03:12] soundray: it says usb 4-1device descriptor read/64, error -71 [03:13] krim: Yeah, vlc seems to do it. [03:13] Steve-cal, I'm going to try unencrypted one more time. I need to restart my router though, brb [03:13] Ciao all. [03:13] back in a ibt. [03:13] BigPick: lol. Well thanks for your help :) [03:14] geekymom: ah, USB problem. I see this quite often with particular devices. Sometimes it helps to unplug and replug them. [03:14] geekymom: Hmm... unplug, then replug the drive and check dmesg [03:14] geekymom: run 'tail -f /var/log/syslog' to follow the messages while you do so. [03:14] AHH!!! soundray is too fast. === hoarycri1ple is now known as hoarycripple [03:14] Does anyone know of a Max OSX Finder alternative for Ubuntu Linux? [03:14] Mac* [03:14] i need help making vbox work [03:14] geekymom: also, plug it directly into the computer if you were plugging it into a hub before. [03:15] Zeus: deskbar and tracker [03:15] THank you, jrib. [03:15] Yeah, USB is still one of the "rougher" edges of linux atm. [03:15] Steve-cal: Ok, back. [03:16] bigpick:same error [03:16] soundray:no usb hub [03:16] wb Catslacks :) [03:16] BigPick: I think it might be one of those cases where Linux is less tolerant of hardware that doesn't stick to the standard [03:16] geekymom: any change after unplug-replug? [03:17] wtf, now i cant get passed authentication for mirrors [03:17] this is gay [03:17] geekymom: you may have to do it a few times [03:17] !wtf | buggmaster [03:17] buggmaster: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [03:17] fuck this server, bye bye ubuntu [03:18] Catslacks: Seems like you and The_PHP_Jedi may have found a genuine bug with your wireless cards and ndiswrapper. Have you tried searching ubuntuforums.org for your specific chipset? That is probably your best bet. The forums have the most up-to-date solutions for problems like yours. [03:18] can someone tell to me why the "update manager" dont have the same upgrades then apt-get upgrade ?! [03:18] dolphin_noel Different repos enabled? [03:18] dolphin_noel: it has the same ones as apt-get dist-upgrade [03:19] Steve-cal, I'm browsing through the forums. Nothing yet. Thanks for all the help. :) [03:19] Howdy [03:19] What's the best IRC program out there? [03:19] Hello steveryherd [03:19] soundray:no change..this isn't critical as I do back up. I just need to know how to do this (mounting and recovering data) [03:19] Zeus, I recommend XChat [03:19] !best | Zeus [03:19] Zeus: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [03:19] I have a pretty simple question, and I'm not quite sure how to go abouts it, Jack_Sparrow... [03:19] Jack_Sparrow yes but i make apt-get upgrade ... and come recomended upgrades and in "update-manager" it comes things that have nathing to do it ... and dont come on apt-get [03:19] Zeus: xchat (not xchat-gnome), irssi, konversation, or kvirc [03:20] Zeus: if you like cli style then try out irssi [03:20] dolphin_noel: listen [03:20] hey anyone here installed hardy on their ps3? [03:20] dolphin_noel: compare the list in update-manager with the one that apt-get dist-upgrade gives [03:20] DrUnKeN_MuNKeY, I couldn't get Feisty on there. :( [03:20] dolphin_noel: they will be identical [03:20] I was curious about the same thing [03:20] The_PHP_Jedi: Your welcome. I know how aggravating it can be to have everything working, upgrade, and then have things break. [03:20] geekymom: Well the trouble in this case is the interface. What kind of hard drive enclosure are you using? [03:20] steveryherd Just ask .. on one line with all the details you can include [03:21] The_PHP_Jedi i keep getting a debootstrap warning failure while configuring required packages [03:21] Steve-cal, actually, it's a fresh install. It works fine on my old Feisty install and Debian. [03:21] Steve-cal: Yes, I have. And it surprises me that it would be a bug with both our cards even though they are different cards and the ndiswrapper site says it supports it. [03:21] ... When I log into Ubuntu, I have to run a script to start my wireless device, is there a good location to move this script to? And then how do I run it on start-up (or login from any account)? [03:21] Steve-cal: I guess it's back to vista for me, though. [03:21] soundray this list is ussually diferente?! ohh so thta theproblem :| thanks :) [03:21] geekymom: it might be best to find a USB stick or some other device that works reliably. [03:21] !startup [03:21] To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot [03:21] Has anyone had an update that caused their computer to no longer boot? [03:22] mobilediesel: More than I care to say. [03:22] geekymom: it's difficult to learn in the presence of these weird problems... [03:22] Catslacks, some people say their wifi is working with this app: http://wicd.sourceforge.net/download.php [03:22] soundray see it thanks i was think this strange lol :x never see it beford that they can be diferent then sources in apt-get :x lol [03:22] hello to all [03:22] Catslacks, I'll try it out myself in a bit. [03:22] steveryherd: Depends--if there is nothing in the script that needs to be run as root, just put it into the "Sessions" program. If it needs to be run as root, put it in the /etc/rc.local file. [03:22] Soundray:it is a usb2 SATA/IDE HDD case [03:22] My other computer dual-boots XP and Ubuntu. well no longer Ubuntu as it stops at "initramfs" now. Any ideas what to do? or reinstall? [03:23] un should it take forever to "store language [03:23] "? [03:23] The_PHP_Jedi: I'll try it as well === sCOTTo is now known as DrAnalog [03:23] Ook, it does need to be ran as root... so the etc/rc.local file is a list of start-up apps? [03:23] mobilediesel: Well, for starters, your going to need a Live CD. [03:23] geekymom: it may be your laptop's USB hardware that's iffy. I generally get better results on older laptops with a PCMCIA adapter card with two or for USB sockets. [03:23] soundray: I am wondering if this 4 year old laptop has usb2.0 [03:23] hey guys, i have noticed that the tab autocompletion for bash is programmable (it's an installed package showing in synaptic as 'bash-completion' with a description saying that it's programmable). how can i see the 'programmable' options? i'd like it to be non-case-sensitive [03:24] geekymom: it probably has, but if not, it shouldn't matter -- your drive should still be recognized and automounted as a USB mass storage device [03:24] soundray:I can boot this desktop (not dual-booted..only windows) into DSL and try it from there [03:24] I still have the live cd sitting here. I installed Ubuntu on the machine via WUBI. [03:24] soundray:ok [03:24] mobilediesel: Its not an uncommon problem and can be fixed, but it does require some work. [03:24] steveryherd: Well, it doesn't list everything that gets booted on startup, but if you put a command/script in there, it will run as root on startup. [03:25] anonymous__ have you looked at zsh? [03:25] geekymom: that would be a good way. Or boot the Ubuntu Desktop CD [03:25] soundray:the drive is making a lot of noise :-) === Asymetric is now known as RAFY [03:25] ... ok, well for organization purposes where should I put the script that I'd like to run? [03:25] anyone has the same problem than me? i installed a fresh ubuntu hardy. and not, my grub freeze when i select the Windows menu at "starting up" [03:25] geekymom: really? I can't hear a thing... [03:25] I mean, the wlan0up file to start my device. [03:25] * soundray blushes at his bad joke === DaVinci2008_ is now known as DaVinci2008 [03:25] soundray:when was the last time you had your hearing checked :-P [03:26] mobilediesel: It is a long process so I'm trying to find you a good link that you can use as a reference. [03:26] still on 75% [03:26] The_PHP_Jedi: I can't find any place to download it [03:26] BigPick: no problem about being some work. half of what I did in XP was command line. [03:26] Catslacks, I found the solution [03:26] !boot [03:26] 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] oh wait [03:26] mobilediesel: Excelent! Your like me then. [03:26] Catslacks, false alarm. I was pinging myself >.> [03:27] Catslacks, not false alarm. It still was the true solution :P [03:27] haha [03:27] The_PHP_Jedi: Haha. Look how fast my internet is! [03:27] Catslacks, disable wpa_supplicant. [03:27] !enter | The_PHP_Jedi [03:27] The_PHP_Jedi: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [03:27] BigPick: that will be very appreciated. I'm quite new to Linux of any version. I've tried redhat before as well as slackware but it's been a couple years. === DrAnalog is now known as sCOTTo [03:27] The_PHP_Jedi: What did you do? [03:27] tritium, sorry. Too excited [03:27] Thanks, The_PHP_Jedi. :) [03:27] geekymom: can I leave you to it now? I'm sure BigPick and others will help you if need be. Especially if you stick to your gorgeous nick. [03:27] BigPick: yeah sometimes opening a terminal and typing a few things is way faster than waiting for a gui to load so I can click a button. [03:27] Catslacks, I removed wpa_supplicant from the system. (I'm trying to connect using WEP, since WPA1 was failing to connect for some reason) [03:27] The_PHP_Jedi: How do I do that? [03:27] mobilediesel: Basically what we are going to do is boot into the live CD, chroot over into the damaged system, and then repair the initrd image. [03:28] steveryherd: If it is a script, go ahead and put it in the /etc/rc.local file--should work fine for you. [03:28] Catslacks, apt-get remove wpa_supplicant should do the trick. [03:28] soundray:I am signing off and will try this again tomorrow on my desktop. Thanks to you and BigPick. I will sign in tomorrow under my normal nick of flybaer. Thanks again. [03:28] THE_PHP_JEDI: brb, I'll try it [03:28] geekymom: bye [03:28] geekymom: sorry we couldn't be of more help. [03:28] Just place the file path on a new line? [03:29] still on 75% [03:29] soundray and bigpick:not to worry. I will nag you guys again tomorrow. [03:29] soundray: You're very right though. I have seen far too many USB devices that don't even come close to supporting any kind of standard. [03:29] Catslacks, I'll be right back once I get xchat set up in my desktop [03:29] steveryherd: Yes, that's exactly right. Make sure your script is executable of course, which I assume it is. [03:29] harriseldon: no i haven't, what's the difference? [03:30] I need help! [03:30] mobilediesel: Its an annoying process because of the number of steps and having to wait for the Live CD but I have done it many times. [03:30] Yep, okie, doke. -- I'd still feel more comfortable if I didn't have this script in a folder under my user account though -- can I move it somewhere? [03:30] BigPick: I get this error all the time when I run Ubuntu as a vmware guest [03:30] The_PHP_Jedi: So you're connected with WEP now? Or with no encryption? [03:31] not to mention windows, but some place organized like /Program Files/ [03:31] Steve-cal, with WEP. I removed wpa_supplicant, since I noticed it was running, even though I wasn't trying to connect to the AP using WPA. [03:31] The_PHP_Jedi: Well, good luck Jedi. I can't get mine to work, and Ubuntu is doing strange things. [03:31] Catslacks, oi... I hope for the best. [03:31] steveryherd: /usr/local/bin/ is a good place for system-specific programs. [03:31] I have a Belkin F5D7000 Wireless Card for my Desktop, and im new to ubuntu and I cant for the life of me get this thing working. [03:31] Thank you =) [03:31] is there a gnome app that lets you control the mouse cursor with the keyboard? [03:32] mobilediesel: So would you like to try this now or later? [03:32] Steve-cal, thanks for the help, seriously man. :D [03:32] BigPick: computers can be totally annoying. it's 2008 and technology is supposed to be so good that you forget it's there. and we're supposed to have flying cars and vacations on the moon already. [03:32] hi guys, i just bought a creative zen 4gb pmp. trying to get it to work. there is a page that asks me to compile stuff... just wondering of anyone has an easy solution? [03:32] BigPick: anyway, I'll be afk for a while. You've been good company, thanks! [03:32] The_PHP_Jedi: The best seems to be Vista in this case, because Ubuntu is turning out to be what I thought it would. I can't even get the internet to work. :P [03:32] soundray: See you! === adante_ is now known as adante [03:32] The_PHP_Jedi: No problem--hopefully you can get WPA working too soon. Take care. :) [03:32] catslacks: I haven't been paying attention to the whole thing, but what exactly is the problem you all are having? [03:33] I have a Belkin F5D7000 Wireless Card for my Desktop, and im new to ubuntu and I cant for the life of me get this thing working. [03:33] * Steve-cal "There's no panacea for wireless woes in LinuxLand..." [03:33] BigPick: I can see all the APs around me. But I can't connect to any. [03:33] BigPick: well the other system is booted into XP at the moment. I don't suppose the steps can be put into a text file or something? [03:33] catslacks: what is your wireless card? [03:33] steveryherd: No problem. :) [03:33] Catslacks: just focus on your own wireless connection, and not the whole internet. [03:33] hello waht is the package that i install to get my console mouse working ? [03:34] its cmouse on debian [03:34] BigPick: D-Link DWA542. I'm using ndiswrapper and installed the drivers for it. On the site it says it is supported. When I run a ndiswarpper -l, everything seems fine. [03:34] mobilediesel: Well lemme see if I can dig up that link I used. I got really good at the whole live CD recovery thing during the upgrade to gutsy... *shudder* [03:35] Yggdrasil: gpm [03:35] catslacks: ndiswrapper is the devil's tool... [03:35] BigPick: But that doesn't help me. :P [03:35] jrib thanks. goolged it [03:35] catslacks: sorry, random outburst. What are you using to configure the interface? === iliketowin is now known as TJ3 === kevin_ is now known as bash [03:36] BigPick: This may seem like total noob, but I have no idea what you mean. [03:36] Yggdrasil: you're supposed to do that /before/ you ask the channel :) [03:36] aye [03:36] sorry [03:36] Catslacks: do you have some protection on your wireless netowrk ? === bash is now known as bashDOTorg [03:36] what should i use to extract a .rar [03:36] BigPick: Thank you very much. I also wonder if anything can be done from withing Windows since the Ubuntu directory seems to be quite accessible. [03:36] !unrar > jack-desktop (read the private message from ubottu) [03:36] m13: I did have WPA, but I turned it off while testing. I also tried WEP. [03:37] mobilediesel: there are ways to access the Linux partitions.. is that what you mean? [03:37] Catslacks: you're not MAC filtering, are you? [03:37] Catslacks: try 1st without any protection , also notice that WPA dont work with all cards over ndiswrapper very well [03:37] tritium: How can I check? [03:37] m13: I've tried it all, is what I'm saying. [03:37] Catslacks: it's a router setting [03:37] !Translation [03:37] Factoid translation not found [03:37] mobilediesel: unfortunately no, to rebuild the initrd image takes software specific to the installation. [03:38] catslacks: what is the controlling interface. I'm assuming it is NetworkManager. [03:38] where can i start Translating, and how [03:38] tritium: it's off [03:38] anyone happen to know how to import qt to python? [03:38] i have python-qt4 installed [03:38] BigPick: Yes, I'm using Network Manager [03:38] ubuntu would do well if they copied vistas interface and mouse icons [03:38] newbieubuntu: yuck, please, no [03:38] bashDOTorg: no, I installed using wubi from within windows. on my d: drive there is an Ubuntu directory. [03:39] newbieubuntu: true. but the customization of Linux allows you to do that anyway [03:39] Ubuntu is doing very well without that [03:39] newbieubuntu: vista would do well if they copy 0.1% of ubuntu :P [03:39] catslacks: okay, can you run `iwlist {your iface} scanning` and get a list of networks? [03:39] im tryin to set up a ftp server, and im wondering how i can link my hard drives to the /var/ftp folder [03:39] where can i start Translating, and how [03:39] BigPick: Yes, but it will take me a minute or two to get back to you. Hold on. [03:39] Catslacks: iwlist scan in terminal [03:39] !rosetta > Dillizar (read the private message from ubottu) [03:39] mobilediesel: so what is it that you want to do? access a filesystem from another? [03:39] i like the vista user interface and program compatibility [03:40] BigPick: I didn't think so. [03:40] i dont have to use wine or anything [03:40] newbieubuntu: do you have a question about ubuntu support? [03:40] newbieubuntu: u can join #windows to discuss vista [03:40] 10x jrib [03:40] bashDOTorg: no, Ubuntu stopped being able to boot after an update, stops at "initramfs" but I can still boot into Windows [03:40] m [03:40] i have ubuntu on my other computer im just hanging around to pick some info up [03:41] How do I tell Transmission to put my downloads in my shared partition? [03:41] newbieubuntu: please stay on-topic, then [03:41] mobilediesel: God, I can't find a good site... do you know how to chroot into a system? [03:41] newbieubuntu: please stay on the topic of ubuntu support here in #ubuntu since it is really busy. We hang out and chat in #ubuntu-offtopic [03:41] BigPick: Okay, it says l0: scanning not supported, and then wlan0 no scan results [03:41] ok [03:41] mobilediesel: are these OSs on two different drives? [03:41] /msg ubottu etiquette [03:41] mobilediesel: have you tried booting from one and not the other? [03:41] mobilediesel: If your not 100% sure then lemme find something for you. [03:42] BigPick: "your" is possessive, and does *not* mean "you are" [03:42] catslacks: that indicates that ndiswrapper isn't working. Lemme lookup your card real quick. [03:42] BigPick: Okies [03:42] tritium: Awesome, you try answering two questions at once :P [03:43] Catslacks: ifup wlan0 , then iwlist scan ? [03:43] BigPick: I do [03:43] m31: ugh, okay, haha brb *runs* [03:43] If a program is already running locally in an X session, can I connect with ssh -X and take over? Display it remotely instead of (or as well as) locally? [03:43] newbieubuntu, have you watched my vids?

[03:44] branstrom: there are ways to do it, but you have to have set it up specifically to do that, and i'm guessing you didn't else you wouldn;t ask that question [03:44] how do I make miro work with alsa? [03:45] BigPick: never did chroot. I don't yet know many commands in terminal. [03:45] mobilediesel: no prob... hang on. [03:45] is there some magic trick you need to do to get a persistant live-cd on a flash stick to save your wallpaper?

[03:46] bashDOTorg: Well there are two drives. C: and D: with Ubuntu being installed on D: right on the FAT32 filesystem. it's in the add/remove programs in Windows [03:46] can i change the language of my ubuntu without reinstalling it [03:46] catslacks: what did you say your wireless card was? [03:46] is anyone in here using anjuta? I wonder how i can change the default file extension for c/c++ projects from cc to .cpp [03:46] dredimus: I may be able to help you but I'm trying to do too much at once :P [03:46] can i change the language of my ubuntu without reinstalling it [03:46] branstrom: for console programs, look at gnu screen, for X, you need xmove [03:46] I understand BigPick, ill come back some other time, Im done for the night I think, lol [03:46] anyone know a workaround for the DVD writer bug in Hardy? [03:46] is there some magic trick you need to do to get a persistant live-cd on a flash stick to save your wallpaper? [03:47] Dillizar: just add new language [03:47] ali1234: so, xmove will do it?

[03:47] m13: Yes, I installed the correct drivers. I tried sudo ifup wan0 and it said "Ignoring Unknown Interface wlan0=wlan0" [03:47] branstrom: so i am told, but i have never used it, and i cant even find a reference for it anywhere [03:47] anyone willing to guide me please [03:47] googling 'mydeo' comes up with a mention of blocked streaming [03:47] BigPick: D-Link DWA542 [03:47] branstrom: i highly recommend you try to find a console program that does what you want and just run it in screen, it is way easier [03:47] m13: not for Writing! the whole ubuntu [03:48] mobilediesel: http://www.backports.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=776693 [03:48] jackw, i wind up doing the config by hand, what are you trying to do? [03:48] Catslacks: can u check lspci and put output of chipset here ? [03:48] ali1234: I know about screen and all that, but this is fun too ;) === the is now known as the|doctor [03:48] Dillizar: system>administration>language [03:48] mobilediesel: best I can find atm. A really good explanation though, [03:48] How do I reinstall grub while keeping Windows XP functional? [03:49] I have it on a seperate partition on a single drive. [03:49] wow [03:49] catslacks: okay I'm checking the chipset compatability on that... [03:49] m13: Atheros Communications Inc. Ar5416 802.11abgn Wireless PCI Adapter (rev01) [03:49] When i press enter on a .php file and click 'display' the dvd drive spins up before gedit opens. is this normal? [03:49] I can't find a problem with Google to match, and "mydeo" seems to be popular [03:49] 10x m13 i found it [03:50] Catslacks: that is powerfull card :) let me check [03:50] Ksilebo Grub will not overwrite the windows partition. All of the grub details are in the menu.lst file. As long as that stays, booting to Windows should still work. [03:50] the mplayer plugin seems to work, but nothing plays, totem the same with the URL [03:50] harriseldon: I wiped the MBR [03:50] Maverick243: try to reboot [03:51] harriseldon: I know the grub-install or whichever command but will it see the windows partition? [03:51] BigPick: That looks great. as soon as my wife is done on the computer I'll fire up my live cd. Thank you very much! my wife likes Ubuntu as much as I do now. [03:51] Maverick243: download and install the VLC player [03:51] does anyone know where you set a custom incoming port in evolution [03:51] mobilediesle: glad to hear it. [03:51] Maverick243: i am sure you will not have problems [03:52] Ksilebo, make a copy of the menu.lst file on your boot partition first. Then do grub-install. You can always copy your old menu.lst back [03:52] loaded video player firefox extension, but doesn't support mydeo.com [03:52] anyone good with ATI video card I need to get my 3d card up and running [03:52] is anyone familiar with libusb? [03:52] catslacks: that chipset may be supported by the madwifi driver, I'm checking now. [03:52] machine has been rebooted [03:52] BigPick: Madwifi didn't say it was when I looked [03:52] Catslacks , BigPick , fot that wlan card u will need mad-wifi drivers [03:52] Maverick243: you are trying to play a vidio online "Streaming" === mike_ is now known as thebishop [03:53] Q: im trying to get a permanent HH install on a usb key that will be bootable, but will also be able to be used as a VM from windows through ... say... xen vm. any takers? [03:53] m13: Madwifi doesn't say it supports it though [03:53] Catslacks: your only option is to try [03:53] VLC player? OK Dillizar! I'll try it, though I should have all video codecs covered... bbl! [03:53] ok [03:53] hi what is needed to be installed to share files from my computer to toehr computers connected wirelessly in my router [03:53] m13: Or switch back to vista (seriously considering because this Ubuntu fiasco is a nightmare) [03:54] catslacks: madwifi should support it. [03:54] Catslacks: your choice :) [03:54] sory other computers in my nertwork tha are windows xp computers [03:54] Catslacks: it's your hardware. Blame the manufacturer, not ubuntu. [03:54] catslacks: BTW, vista is a bad word 'round these parts. [03:54] sorry [03:54] BigPick: It should support it even if it doesn't say it does? haha. [03:54] yuri_, I'm not sure about the xen part but this may be of some use to you http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2008/05/21/usb-xubuntu-804-persistent-install-from-linux/ [03:54] Catslacks: next time u buy hardware, first check forum if it is suported ;) [03:54] matthias_N when you try to share a folder it will prompt you to setup necessary packages [03:54] Tritium: I'm not blaming anyone. [03:55] m13: I bought that months ago. [03:55] Catslacks: forum is your friend b4 u go shoping , trust me ;) [03:55] Luhta: thanks ill give it a go [03:55] harriseldon: when i select an folder to share it asks me nothing ???, let me try again ... [03:55] Catslacks: try mad-wifi driver [03:55] Catslacks: the support list you are looking at is for product names, not chipsets. Plus Madwifi's list is a wiki, it isn't kept officiall up to date with every model number. [03:55] Catslacks: the "fiasco" as you describe it is because of your hardware [03:56] matthias_N it will most likely share over CIFS via Samba. This can be mapped as a network drive from Windows [03:56] Tritium: Okay, I understand that. Thanks. [03:56] tritium: bad shoping :P [03:56] BigPick: Windows XP made me so mad that I wiped it on my computer. did the wubi dual-boot on the other machine. Windows was making my wife mad quite often and she hates Windows even more every time she's using Ubuntu! The computer feels almost twice as fast in Ubuntu compared to windows [03:56] tritium: The end result is that it still doesn't work. [03:56] Maverick243: tell me if that will fix your problems [03:56] BigPick: I'm aware [03:56] BigPick: Okay, I looked at the madwifi drivers, but I don't really know how to install them, haha. Also how do I get rid of all the ndiswapper stuff? [03:56] yuri_, good luck also keep in mind those instructions assume you don't need any data off the flash stick [03:56] Catslacks: synaptic package manager [03:57] yuri_, so backup first if you need to, or modify to taste [03:57] m13: To both? [03:57] Catslacks: remove ALL from ndiswrapper [03:57] harriseldon: i select an subfolder folder in my usb hard drive but i find nothing about share, give me an kick in the right direction and i let you know what happens [03:57] mobilediesel: I used to be a domain administrator on a server 2003 network hated it. [03:57] catslacks: wow hang on. Lets slow down here... [03:58] harriseldon: o do i need to selct my entire hard drive ??? [03:59] catslacks: madwifi was part of the mainline kernel a while ago. Check to see if you have it by running `modprobe -l | grep madwifi` [03:59] catslacks: its shouldreport a *.ko file [03:59] BigPick: i think he should remove all from ndis b4 go tinker with madwifi [03:59] hey all, anyone have any suggestions on using microsd cards? (packages) [04:00] m13: He will be fine, I don't want to burn the ndiswrapper bridge just yet. [04:00] BigPick: There's a whole list of them that came up [04:00] BigPick: dont u think his driver can interfere ? [04:01] who knows about everything there is to know about wine? I want to know how to use it and how to know what programs i can run with it. thank you [04:01] anyone good with ATI video cards I need to get mine set up here [04:01] catslacks: good. What I want you to do first is `modprobe -r ndiswrapper` [04:01] catslacks: this will remove the ndiswrapper module from your kernel [04:01] BigPick: Alright, brb (keep in mind I have to ruin a flight of stairs every time, haha) [04:02] NO I DID NOT SLEEP WITH THAT WOMEN [04:02] how do I make miro work with alsa? [04:02] harriseldon: i am running hardy version .... i do not have any sharing in system->administration ... [04:03] I had no clue he was running up and down stairs LMAO [04:03] BigPick: Alright, I did that. It didn't output anything, but it gave me a new line [04:03] where do i go to change the "automatically start rhythmbox when inserting a cd" setting under gnome in hardy? it used to be under removable drives and media. the ipod setting was on the same screen... [04:03] catslacks: excellent, that is what it should do. Sorry, I had no idea you were running up and down stairs :P [04:03] Maverick243: ? [04:03] BigPick: I never dealt with server 2003. XP pro was bad enough :P although XP was great when I replaced 98 [04:03] i have just installed ubuntu 8.04 [04:03] catslacks: Lemme give you the next couple quick steps. [04:03] BigPick: it's just taking me a bit longer because of the running all day. [04:04] who know what is BIND DNS? [04:04] none of my sudo command is working in terminal... [04:04] mobilediesle: all the clients were xp :P [04:04] catslacks: I used to have an atheros card and I loved madwifi so I'm trying to remember the exact sequence... [04:04] Pramod_Helios: Is the username you are logged on with the first user that was created by the system when it installed, or a subsequently created user? [04:05] well it told me to create a normal user.... [04:05] catslacks: The next step is going to be installing the madwifi module into the kernel [04:05] Catslacks :) [04:05] during installation... [04:05] BigPick: ok [04:05] Candive: Hello [04:05] can i remove the password and the user name? [04:05] Pramod_Helios: So this name is the one which you are using? [04:05] catslacks: ath_pci if I remember so `modprobe -i ath_pci` and then check dmesg for any errors. [04:05] yeah [04:06] how to give full permission to the user so that i no need to login to root [04:06] jackw: BIND = Berkeley Internet Name Domain. DNS - Domain Name Service [04:06] Pramod_Helios: OK. When you do: sudo ls what does it say? [04:06] jackw: use sudo when you need it [04:06] BigPick: I've blacklisted ath_pci from ndiswrapper, should I unblacklist it? [04:06] !sudo > jackw (read the private message from ubottu) [04:06] it does not say anything... :S [04:06] can someone help me with something? [04:06] ask [04:06] found the answer to my question... it's moved into media under nautilus preferences. lame [04:06] catslacks: indeed, and if ath_pci works you should definately blacklist ndiswrapper [04:06] tal: can you be a little bit more specific? [04:07] it just returns to the normal prompt... :( [04:07] lol tal [04:07] Thanks dude :) [04:07] catslacks: but just unblacklist ath_pci for now [04:07] !ask [04:07] Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [04:07] Pramod_Helios: How about: sudo ls /usr/* ? [04:07] BigPick: Should I restart after that? [04:07] !ask tal [04:07] Factoid ask tal not found [04:07] Pramod_Helios: Only tell me if it lists a bunch of files or tells you an error, not the contents of the file listing please [04:07] nothing... [04:08] harriseldon: i guess you do not know or something but thank you anyway ... [04:08] I installed ubuntu on a second harddrive on here and it pops up a little boot page where i have to pick betwen ubuntu or windows. But when I disconnect that harddrive with ubuntu windows fails to boot without it plugged it [04:08] catslacks: lord no! this is linux not windows xp. modules take effect immediately.

[04:09] catslacks: HAHA I know what you mean. The ONLY time linux should ever have to restart is if you recompile the kernel or you get an OOPS [04:09] matthias_N: you can do it with samba or ssh. if you right cick on a folder and select sharing, it will prompt you to install samba [04:09] there is $ [04:09] when i do normal ls it works [04:09] the sudo command itself does not seem to be working... :( [04:10] Pramod_Helios: If for instance it was a matter of not allowed to run sudo, it would give you some message [04:10] RadiantFire: i do not have that option when choosing right click on my folder that is an sub folder on my USB connected external hard drive ... === anthis is now known as echowip [04:10] well it seem the installation itself is corrupt?

[04:11] i did not edit any file... [04:11] genii: nobody ever should, by the way [04:11] BigPick: okay, it gave me a new line and then I tried dmesg and beside ath_pci it gave me what looks like a version number [04:11] not sure why its not showing up as a component [04:11] I installed ubuntu on a second harddrive on here and it pops up a little boot page where i have to pick betwen ubuntu or windows.

[04:14] BigPick: Notta [04:15] hi [04:15] RadiantFire: yes i like to share but right clicking on that subfolder on my external hard drive i do not find any option saying sharing .... [04:15] bye for now, thanks again Dillizar!!!! [04:15] catslacks: no interfaces listed ? [04:15] matthias_N: sorry, select the option labeled "share" [04:15] see ya Maverick243 [04:15] BigPick: Nope. [04:15] hi everyone [04:15] * andresj smiles and waits. He also knew the command but forgot it in a couple of minutes. [04:15] andresj: arg totally forget... [04:16] i installed ubuntu on a 2nd harddrive and now if i unplug that one windows wont load without it what can I do about that. if i ever remove ubuntu on that harddrive.... [04:16] :) [04:16] im having an issue with an ftp server iv set up, whenever someone trys to download an mp3, it tries to play it in the browser, is there a way to make it so it jsut downloads it? [04:16] could someone give me a hand, i'm trying to make gparted detect my raid-0 partition [04:16] andresj: got nothin... I just used it today too... [04:16] catslacks: okay lemme think.... [04:16] Pramod_Helios: Did you have some problems in the installation? [04:16] why is sudo not working? [04:16] yeah i had some problems... [04:16] how do I make miro work with alsa? [04:16] does manshee just looks like itunes or it can Recognize a Ipod [04:17] talormanda, a second hard disk or a second partition? [04:17] i downloaded the iso using torrent... [04:17] will00, that's probably to do with the browser. give me the url, let me check. [04:17] Pramod_Helios: And you are booted now to the hard drive and not to the livecd? [04:17] and while installing it halted once or twice... :( [04:17] I put in another HARDDRIVE so i have 2 in there [04:17] yeah i am on the hard drive... [04:17] lastnode_ ftp://65.35.221.195/Music/ [04:17] talormanda, ubuntu installs grub to the MBR [04:17] not a partition [04:17] RadiantFire: i do not have that option, only , open, open in new window, copy, paste, create archive, make link, rename, move to trash, rename, encrypt, sign, properties [04:17] hello, i have decided to ditch windows and i have installed ubuntu today and i am having a problem with my sound i have logitech z-5500 speakers connected via spdif and i have no sound from banshee, any help? [04:17] yeah i found that out [04:17] what can i do now...? [04:17] how do i get out of su? [04:17] catslacks: if madwifi didn't support the device, then it would have reported "no such device" to dmesg. [04:17] Pramod_Helios: I would say tentatively the issue is being caused by hard reboots during the install [04:17] i did install the mp3 codecs too [04:17] will00, asks for pw [04:17] Pramod_Helios: exit [04:18] its pw [04:18] Pramod_Helios: or ctrl+d [04:18] password [04:18] Pramod_Helios: Yes, exit from the root login [04:18] Pramod_Helios: the only way su would be working is if you enabled the root account. When did you do that? [04:18] talormanda, you can just keep grub, or you can fix the MBR with the windows CD in repairmode [04:18] BigPick: oh? It just said nothing was listed [04:18] matthias_N: thats odd, i thought it would be different [04:18] !manshee [04:18] Factoid manshee not found [04:18] i just did it when genii told me to... :) [04:18] does manshee just looks like itunes or it can Recognize a Ipod [04:19] matthias_N: I have a different set of options whenI select my external harddrive, so I don't know [04:19] will00, what is the username?

Also, please don't try bot triggers if you're not sure they exist. [04:19] Kode: no it doesn't [04:19] catslacks: It will give an error if it doesn't find a compatable device.

[04:20] Kode i need to pm you [04:20] Pramod_Helios: please answer my question [04:20] matthias_N: that might be the problem, I think you have to own a folder to be able to share it [04:20] catslacks: we may also have to do `modprobe -i wlan` The driver topology might have changed. I'm on the lkml wl mailing list but the madwifi guys do their own thing. [04:20] tritium: which question u asked? [04:20] RadiantFire: can i do an chmod on it ...

I've had several people try to help me now, lol. [04:21] tritium: I enables the su when genii told me to... :) just some minutes ago... [04:21] Kode: the root account is disabled by default on ubuntu. [04:21] matthias_N: is it something that automatically gets mounted or is it in /etc/fstab? [04:21] Pramod_Helios: I see. Well, that's not recommended. [04:21] RadiantFire: I have only one user on my computer so i do not understand why ??? [04:21] catslacks: Alright. Well don't give up on linux just yet. I have a funny feeling the defaul madwifi driver worked. [04:21] ok [04:22] Kode are you there [04:22] tritium: i exited su... :) [04:22] matthias_N: I'm not entirely sure why that is, I suppose you could chown it [04:22] tritium: He attempted su ls as in sudo syntax, I corrected the usage. I believe you actually were requesting him to report result of it (su) [04:22] I just PM'ed you talormanda [04:22] hm didnt get it [04:22] do i need to register? [04:22] genii: I was asking when he actual assigned root a password, enabling the root account [04:22] genii, that was me who suggested su [04:22] Does anyone here know how to get compiz to start as the default decoration manager for Ubuntu? [04:22] BigPick: My public email is absurdist@live.ca, so drop me a line or add me on msn and I'll tell you how things went. Thanks for the help, though. [04:22] RadiantFire: or can i assign myself as root in users and group ??? [04:23] tritium i assigned root a password during installation... [04:23] im having trouble installing the Videos Driver on my computer [04:23] Pramod_Helios: is this a server install? [04:23] normally you assign a password to root during install [04:23] Ah, it was Kode, my error [04:23] Kode: not on ubuntu [04:23] well during installation i was told to do chroot install or something like that... [04:24] well it works here... [04:24] The Ubuntu Desktop LiveCD installer does *not* ask you to assign a root password during install. [04:24] hello people [04:24] hi genuser [04:24] any people with ndiswrapper? [04:24] tritium: i used the alternate installation cd === Xulthus is now known as pwnt [04:24] !root [04:24] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [04:24] having issues running ndiswrapper.... [04:24] andresj: Just remembered, `lsof` [04:24] talormanda, here is a link to fix MBR for windows http://www.techzonez.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-3975.html [04:25] who knows about everything there is to know about wine? I want to know how to use it and how to know what programs i can run with it. thank you [04:25] kode, ok [04:25] genuser: Slow down there. Trust me you don't want to use ndiswrapper unless you have no other recourse. [04:25] and the "Software Properties" is missing from the administration... :/ [04:25] BigPick: oh wow thanks :) It was actually a zombie that was causing it :D [04:25] kode should i remove the ubuntu harddrive before i do tha? [04:25] !appdb | LaneLimited [04:25] LaneLimited: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org [04:26] any help to get spdif audio to work is greatly appreciated [04:26] LaneLimited: you just run "wine blah.exe" [04:26] BigPick: well, using netgear MA111. It is support by wlan-ng-utils... [04:26] genuser: What wireless card do you have? [04:26] i think my installation went wrong.... will i have to download directly from the server? [04:26] Does anyone here know how to get compiz-manager to start as the default decoration manager for Ubuntu? [04:26] BigPick: however, is doesn't support WPA according to documentation. [04:26] Frogzoo: thanks i wwill try it [04:26] Pramod_Helios: Have you been able to install any programs since you have booted into the new system? [04:26] im having trouble installing the Videos Driver on my computer please help [04:26] talormanda, that shouldn't really matter, but know that when you do that, you cannot boot into ubuntu again unless you fix grub again [04:26] oh wow and now my cellphone wont put up with all those files I put in the SD :) [04:26] genii: well no [04:27] how can i become root but not using root username or is it needed ... [04:27] Frogzoo: what do i run and how do i run it? [04:27] matthias_N: use sudo [04:27] Kode, I'm going to remove the windows drive and only leave the one in and install ubuntu on it next time [04:27] matthias_N: sudo -i [04:27] so that doesnt happen again [04:27] and i am not being able to access any ntfs partition... :( [04:28] well the problem is that on my external hard drive the owner of the folders on the hard drive is root and not me ... [04:28] btw in ubuntu what application is better for irc? [04:28] Pramod_Helios: that's a matter of opinion. [04:28] BigPick: using NetGear MA111. Any suggestion? [04:28] talormanda, what exactly is the problem actually, you cannot boot into windows anymore? [04:28] genuser: We just pushed a ton of wlan driver improvements into mainline, I can't say off the top of my head weather support made it into 2.6.24 [04:28] does anyone know how to create a bootsplash? Obviously people are creating them, but I cannot find any good howtos... [04:28] Pramod_Helios: I like xchat (not xchat-gnome) [04:29] genuser: lemme check my list history. [04:29] Kode, nah it automaticlly goes into ubuntu and my mom will kill me. [04:29] BigPick: ok. [04:29] tritium , Pramod_Helios My inclination would be to say to use su for temporary bypass of non-working sudo by way of: su -c "apt-get update;apt-get install --reinstall sudo" [04:29] talormanda, you can change that so that it boots in windows by default [04:29] genii: in this case, I'd agree [04:29] ok [04:29] kode, yeah didnt find that... [04:29] thanks genii, thanks tritium i will try that [04:30] talormanda, you can edit grub.lst [04:30] Is anyone else having the problem of X just showing a black screen and not starting up? [04:30] join #ubuntu-cn [04:30] you just need to change one number into that file [04:30] guys do you guys have an user root and your own usrname and password ??? [04:30] genuser: There should be support for it in the existing wlan-ng kernel driver and packages for hardy. [04:30] !sudo | matthias_N [04:30] matthias_N: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. [04:31] Kode, im not that good with linux so eh dont know where grub.1st is [04:31] genuser: I'm not aware of any WPA limitation. [04:31] genii: it says reinstallation of sudo is not possible... it cannot be downloaded... :( [04:31] Matthias, I believe there's a post about how to get into the root account on the forums somewhere. [04:31] talormanda: /boot/grub/menu.lst [04:31] But 'sudo' is better. ;] [04:31] BigPick: ok. cool thanks. Let me go try that. :) [04:31] BigPick: will let people know if it doesn't work. :) [04:31] BigPick: thanks. :) [04:31] Does anyone here know how to get compiz-manager to start as the default decoration manager for Ubuntu? [04:31] dominique_: I had that problem on one of my desktop systems. Try using ctrl-alt-backspace to restart X. Also, if you can, do ctrl-alt-f1 and type this in: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart < - those two solved the issue most of the time [04:31] tritium, is that on the boot selection page? [04:32] talormanda: no, that's the path to the file [04:32] tritium: yes i know but when i am tryinf to share folders that i do not have the option of sharing i guess it have to do with that in my permisssion folder in the tap permission says that root is the owner ... and not me ... [04:32] in linux? [04:32] talormanda, in linux yes [04:32] I've tried both of those things, but the screen remains unresponsive. [04:32] matthias_N: you can access files owned by root with sudo priveleges [04:32] ok kode, what do i have to change then [04:32] or is it easy to see [04:32] genuser: Please do let me know if there are any problems. I'm not an ubuntu dev but I can check with the guys on the kernel-wireless list. [04:32] it's quite easy [04:33] are you in ubuntu at the moment? [04:33] Well i think i will really need to download the new iso Directly from server [04:33] no [04:33] give me a sec and ill get in it [04:33] :$ [04:33] tritium: but how do i change so i am owner of all the files so i can share those folders with other computers on my network ??? [04:33] :-$ === geso_ is now known as geesorry [04:33] tritium: sudo chown .... [04:33] dominique_: dunno then...

[04:35] Pramod_Helios: something went terribly wrong, then [04:35] anyone know someone with the nick interference [04:35] tritium: i downloaded the iso from torrent... [04:36] tritium: do you have another user beside your own, named root ??? [04:36] matthias_N: no, I've told you many times that the root account is disabled [04:36] Pramod_Helios: Yes, I think the simplest solution is to just get a new iso. And to make sure the md5 matches prior to creating the cd/dvd and also afterwards. [04:36] genii: what is md5??? [04:36] nobody here knows how to create a bootsplash? [04:36] tritium: than i my case it is enabled ..., how do i dissable it ???

You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [04:59] what happened to ED IRC? [05:00] HackOfChris: in a terminal, perhaps, 'man cairo-dock' [05:00] ticky: i guess make an ls -al and see what is saying something like media/cdrom, i guess ... [05:00] creative xfi driver installation help? [05:00] only lsoft /media/cdrom worked [05:00] dieselpete, doesnt run [05:01] using grep didn't work.. maybe because it is updating constantly? [05:01] matthias_N: how ls -al is supposed to work? [05:01] HackOfChris: google that baby :) [05:01] hello, i'm new to Ubuntu, and Linux in general. I have a question: is it possible to join an Ubuntu PC onto a network domain that based on windows servers? [05:01] dieselpete, thanks [05:01] Crema10: i think you are looking for Samba [05:01] HackOfChris: You should ask the cairo dock people. It's not in the repositories. [05:01] !samba | Crema10 [05:01] Crema10: 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. [05:02] Flannel, I found it in the repositories [05:02] HackOfChris: Which repositories? [05:02] ticky: sorry ps -aux shows what process is in use and not and look for /media/cdrom and see if it tells you anything from... [05:02] Flannel, ubuntu 8.04 [05:02] ticky: is a file manager or your command prompt in the /media/cdrom directory? it won't umount othersize [05:02] thank you guys [05:02] HackOfChris: in which part (main, restricted)? [05:02] matthias_N: yes. that did not work [05:02] amart487 here's the bug on your xfi card, there's a link there that works for some [05:03] Can I get some help here to get team fortress 2 running in wine? Or would I have to go to the wine irc channel [05:03] amart487 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/63352 [05:03] Launchpad bug 63352 in linux "Creative labs X-Fi sound card unsupported" [Wishlist,Confirmed] [05:03] HackOfChris: Whats the package name? [05:03] ticky: worked or not ? [05:03] how do i tell if mythtv backend is running correctly? [05:03] alan_m, not sure, just open synaptic package manager and searched cairo-dock [05:03] Flannel, it was called cairo-dock [05:04] HackOfChris: there is no package called cairo-dock in the Hardy repos. Which third party repositories have you added? [05:04] genii: the md5sum is the same... [05:04] ticky: sudo fuser -vkim /media/cdrom [05:04] astro76: lsof /media/cdrom worked [05:04] HackOfChris: theres cairo-clock but no cairo-dock that I see. [05:04] Flannel, nothing, maybe i just installed something else.. Maybe i just thought it said that... Sorry i'm still a newbie unfortunately =( [05:04] genii: i think i need to make another copy and try to install it again... :) Hope it works... [05:04] Pramod_Helios: The md5sum of the iso you made previously matches the official md5 sum? [05:05] genii: yes... [05:05] alan_m, I may have install something else =( i'm still new [05:05] HackOfChris: that's perfectly fine. You probably can't get cairo-dock to run, because it's not installed. Nothing wrong with that, just trying to clear it up. [05:05] Pramod_Helios: OK. Ensure that Verify is on in your burning application. and then afterwards also run the md5 check against the actual cd [05:05] ok genii thanks [05:05] HackOfChris: its ok, we just have confusion written all over our face :) (we do that a lot in here, hehe) [05:05] how can i change ownership on my external hard drive ??? sudo chown username:username /folder, this does not work for me ... [05:05] im having trouble installing the Videos Driver on my computer. i have DL the file i need.. but im having trouble trying to run it in the Terminal [05:06] matthias_N is it an ntfs partition? [05:07] * nickrud thinks he needs to actually plug in his ntfs external so he sees what hardy does [05:07] nickrud: iam not sure but i used it the 1:st time on windows XP and later changed os to Ubuntu ... [05:07] genii: how can i check that on the real cd? [05:07] matthias_N with it plugged in, sudo fdisk -l will tell you the partition type [05:07] how can i copy a file into the root folder [05:07] nickrud: okey let me check ... [05:07] sudo cp *.* [05:08] make xine work with gstreamer? [05:08] can anyone help me get my dvdrom mounting working, having trouble reading it [05:08] !md5sum [05:08] To verify the integrity of a download, use the md5sum - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM for more [05:09] nickrud: how do i identify in an external hard drive ??? [05:09] are there any utils for mass conversion of images? say from png to jpg? [05:09] matthias_N plug in the drive, then run sudo fdisk -l . that will list all the partitions, including the plugged in external [05:10] Pramod_Helios: From linux it would be: dd if=/dev/scd0 bs=2048 | head -c 727488512 | md5sum - but in Windows I'm not certain. The program suggested by the help site *might* work directly on a physical cd [05:10] nickrud: does not find it as My book as i am used 2 ... [05:10] hiiii [05:10] ok thanks... :) [05:11] matthias_N true. What you're looking at there is the actual partitions. You would see the internal drive, sda probably, with all the partitions listed. The last column tells you the partition type. The second drive would have another listing [05:11] nickrud: see this : http://pastebin.com/d11adaf3f [05:11] im having trouble installing the Videos Driver on my computer. i have DL the file i need.. but im having trouble trying to run it in the Terminal [05:11] Pramod_Helios: A roundabout way might be to make another iso from the cd and then check that, as well [05:12] ok genii... i think the cd i have used is wrong... [05:12] matthias_N ok, the /dev/sdb is the external drive, and the /dev/sdb1 is the partition. So, it's an ntfs, unless it's a mac formatted drive? [05:12] hi there! [05:13] uhm, has anybody made the upgrade to 8.04? [05:13] nickrud: no i used it with windows Xp no mac in this case .... [05:13] Crazy_Diamond: I did [05:13] so, hows that working? [05:13] how can i copy a something to root directory, please? [05:13] matthias_N and saying mac was a brain fart on my part. Ok, next, with the drive plugged in, show me the output of ls -l /media [05:14] amart487: cp /src /dest simple as that [05:14] how would i jump from one location to another in terminal if i know the address? like using cd ? [05:14] Eisenhower: use cd! [05:15] nickrud: here it is http://pastebin.com/d202ea46e [05:15] amart487: as root... [05:15] make xine work with gstreamer? [05:15] nickrud: i need to change owner of my Book ... to matthias [05:15] anything? i want to convert a folder of images from png to jpg [05:15] amart487: Oh, right. You'll need to use sudo. sudo cp /source /destination [05:15] matthias_N so what's the problem, the partition is read/writeable by everyone? [05:15] Flannel: well ya but like can you jump instead of doing .. and .. and then moving forward? anyway to jump? [05:16] Eisenhower: cd /full/path/to/directory [05:16] im having trouble installing the Videos Driver on my computer. i have DL the file i need.. but im having trouble trying to run it in the Terminal [05:16] Eisenhower: the leading / means you're doing an absolute path instead of a relative path [05:16] matthias_N ownership of ntfs volumes is illusory, they don't handle ownership and permissions like ext3 or other linux file systems do. Having the ability to read/write is what matters. [05:16] Eisenhower: (well, its because it just starts at /, it's nothing special, just how it works) [05:17] nickrud: sharing, the opyion in the subfolder in my external hard drive does not have the option sharing ... and the subfolder have owner root when i do properties and permissions on the subfiolder [05:17] Flannel: tries magical things you have told me =) ty] [05:17] Flannel: your amazing [05:17] nickrud: i can not do sharing that is the whole head ache ... [05:18] matthias_N yes, I can see that. Do you leave the external plugged in at all times? [05:18] yes ... [05:18] I could use a hand with open office base if anyone could help? [05:18] how is it possible to change directories in terminal? [05:19] nickrud: yes i do to 99 % of the time ... [05:19] amart487: cd [05:19] amart487: cd .. (to the up diretory) cd - (to the preview) cd /home (to the home directory), etc. [05:19] im having trouble installing the Videos Driver on my computer. i have DL the file i need.. but im having trouble trying to run it in the Terminal [05:20] nickrud: so i tried to issue sudo chown matthias:matthias /media/my Book but does not work ... [05:20] matthias_N ok, you can add the line /dev/sdb1 /My\ Book defaults,umask=007,gid=matthias,uid=matthias 0 1 to your /etc/fstab , and it will be mounted at boot as owned by you [05:20] thanks [05:20] matthias_N yeah, ntfs doesn't do permissions like that. You have to tell it at mount time who owns it [05:20] nickrud: let me look ... [05:20] make xine work with gstreamer? [05:20] Hello, Ubuntu 8.04 Live cd is no recognizing my partions [05:21] it has been a long time sinc I ask this question [05:21] is not^ [05:21] thank you [05:21] maybe an hour [05:21] no one answer my question [05:21] nickrud: the tring ends wit hthe 1 ??? [05:21] how shameful it is, for asking a question unanswered for an hour [05:21] matthias_N yes, from /dev/sdb1 through the 0 1 [05:21] nickrud: the tring ends with the 1 ? [05:22] does anyone know what package /usr/include/boost/python.hpp is in? I installed libboost-python-dev and it still isn't there [05:22] nickrud: hold on and let me try ...

It won't recognize my partions when trying to install XP either [05:22] can anybody give me some advice on getting my DVD running === worldideas is now known as steviebuns [05:23] amart487: use the "apropos" command to see a list of commands about... as the "man" comand, like, $man ls [05:23] power2theplankto : whats wrong with yer ddvd?

[05:24] i can mount cdroms... in the terminal only, but dvds are not being read, and so i can't find the directory to command to mount to [05:24] Mr-NONO: try booting into the windows OS and shutting it down cleanly, i had a problem installing after an unclean shutdown [05:24] no [05:24] I love ubuntu! :D [05:24] cdroms don't either, but i use sudo mount /dev/cdrom [05:24] cd and dvd both? [05:25] It was after a clean shut down [05:25] hrm [05:25] nickrud: nah, I want to use another plugin [05:25] amart487: if you have some doubt about how the ls command works for example... type: man ls [05:25] nickrud: (ibm java to be precise) [05:25] benh which one? [05:25] power2theplankto ; gimme a sec boot into ubunut ;) [05:25] Mr-NONO: i'd wipe vista then. lol. sorry [05:25] I just can't figure out where ff3 is looking for the plugin [05:25] thank you [05:25] cool thanks [05:25] nickrud: it doesn't seem to be a symlink [05:25] power2theplankto : what vers? [05:25] benh use java-package to create a deb of ibm java, then use the update-java-alternatives [05:26] j1solutions_, that is what I am afraid of, if i were to do that, how will I install anything ese? :) [05:26] amart487: if you don't know what command do the network configuration, type: apropos net (this will list some commands to this job) [05:26] nickrud: but that's going to update javac, etc...

[05:26] Mr-NONO: once you format the drive, you probably won't have any problem, thats been my experience [05:26] is there a way i can fool a java program into thinking that X is running? [05:27] nickrud: done ... [05:27] brb one sec. [05:27] benh you can fine tune it by using sudo update-alternatives --config xulrunner-1.9-javaplugin.so [05:27] i'm trying to run ted.jar from console, but it wants me to run X [05:27] nickrud: unmont volume and mount it again ? [05:27] matthias_N yes [05:27] ok [05:27] Mr-NONO: you can always install another OS on your harddrive. [05:27] The thing is, this laptop was made especially for "vista" [05:27] bluefoxx: in terminal convert *.png *.jpg [05:27] ooooh [05:27] benh good question is, does javapackage create that one :) [05:28] ok another question sorry for so many, im in the terminal as root, i cd to home folder, i type dir, see a sub folder but i cant cd to it?

[05:54] gregbrady after you download a theme, you can simply drag it onto the appearances preference window to install them [05:55] dfeng : what can you do using windows [05:55] and even when I login through tty and start x manually, the windows themselves flicker consistently [05:55] Brother_NoX : chmod a+x NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.05-pkg1.run [05:55] dfeng: boot it from CD and take a look at it.

Getting you to own the folders I could do [05:56] Brother_NoX: is the terminal open in the folder where the driver is? [05:57] yeah ,thank all of you ,perhaps i'll use it for someting programing !

[05:58] Brother_NoX : then open a term and go to home..~/ [05:59] nickrud: sorry to bother again, I can't seem to find where my firefox downloaded the file@ [05:59] * nakedgoat busts out webex :) [05:59] Question - does ubuntu have a calendar/scheduler that determines when the trunk is open for edits, or building, etc? [05:59] gregbrady: It is usually the desktop if you are running default Gnome/Firefox settings. [05:59] it doesnt show up on the list [05:59] nickrud: sorry for beiing in doubt, thanks a lot ... [05:59] locust: nope, no luck there [06:00] Anonona_DC: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IntrepidReleaseSchedule [06:00] gregbrady: Try 'find / | grep "file name here"' [06:00] matthias_N no problem, if I'd been paying better attention, we'd have been done in a few minutes. Thanks for hanging in there [06:00] cp (copy it) to your ~/home folder, then chmod a+x to then [06:00] ./ [06:00] gregbrady try looking in Downloads [06:00] nickrud: no worry i was to blame ...

[06:02] got it but it does not show up...hmmm [06:02] Hopefully it is not 2girls1cup.mpeg.... [06:02] Brother_NoX: this will make life much easier type in terminal sudo apt-get install nautilus-open-terminal. this script lets you open teminal by right click in any folder [06:02] gregbrady then you can try find $HOME -iname ** [06:02] locust please, never ever mention that file here (at least you didn't link ;) [06:03] lol [06:03] nickrud: Excuse my sick humor. :/ [06:03] * locust bows in shame. [06:04] * hotmonkeyluv waves [06:04] nickrud: yeah, that link, gnome-look results in no useable links. At least for me. [06:04] gregbrady you'd need the name of the file you downloaded, not the site name [06:04] ok i did the Sudo Apt-get [06:04] now what? [06:04] anyone that knows how to do filesharing if that sharing option does exists on the foler i like to share ??? [06:05] Brother_NoX: sudo apt-get install nautilus-open-terminal [06:05] nickrud: I've tried several and all they do is show a picture. No download [06:05] k i did that [06:05] gregbrady try clicking thru the links, till you find a download link [06:05] how do I make miro xine engine uses alsa? [06:06] offtopic [ What's the first step in getting an IP mask? ] [06:06] Brother_NoX: can't remember if you have to reboot for script to kick in or not. anyway open folder where driver is and right click inside. you will see open terminal here [06:06] nickrud: Yup, I've tried that. They all result in a great preview. Nothing else [06:06] is there a channel for ps3-ubuntu ? [06:07] No worries, I guess this option is just not for my machine. [06:07] nope dont see it so ill restart brb [06:07] afk [06:08] gregbrady for a test, on gnome-look.org there's the hardy heron theme. Click that, then down the page find the download link [06:08] is there any way to defragment a mounted disk? [06:08] depends on what filesystem you're using [06:08] yurimxpxman: what filesystem is on it? [06:08] gregbrady that is, on the next page that loads, look for the download link [06:08] adam7: ext3 [06:08] yurimxpxman: you don't need to defrag ext3 [06:08] doesnt ext3 automatically defrag in the background? [06:08] nickrud: how will I know. I'm running Heron? [06:08] !defrag | yurimxpxman, tbag [06:08] yurimxpxman, tbag: The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext3) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. A package "defrag" is available in !Universe, however its use is not safe, and is generally not needed. [06:08] adam7: yes I do... the disk is like 97% full 0_o [06:09] in fact, I don't think you *can* defrag ext3 because it doesn't need it [06:09] gregbrady this is simple site navigation. We must be miscommunicating somewhere [06:09] yurimxpxman: how do you know it needs defragging? [06:09] tbag, thats true if u can call that defrag, it does it with each file operation [06:09] defragging a 97% full disk is going to be nearly impossible [06:09] adam7: because it's gotten really slow after I filled the disk [06:10] My X-Chat is awfully laggy and I don`t see the userlist nowhere... Can someone help me solve these problems? [06:10] yurimxpxman you're gonna need to clear some space [06:10] Psychlo : /server? :) [06:10] nickrud: yes, slow down. [06:10] Psychlo, did you load xchat-gnome or just xchat? [06:10] xchat gnome [06:11] Hello, I need help with wireless network card. I am running Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 and I am using TP-Link USB dongle TL-WN321G. Currently, the driver RT73USB that comes pre-installed with Hardy is working and is able to join any open network. But it is not able to join any WEP 64bit ASII encryption. I tried configuring it through the GUI, but the connect button under the WEP option is not available. Any idea why? [06:11] Psychlo on the right border of the xchat window, you'll see a bunch of dots. grab them with the left mouse button, and pull left [06:11] nickrud: ok, what theme? They all don't load [06:11] Psychlo, uninstall and try xchat.. you'll get the list as default.. not sure but the lag may not change [06:11] nickrud: i restarted the computer and the hard drive is not mounted ... [06:11] yurimxpxman: you can't defrag it if it is that full anyway [06:11] lag is server based 99% of the time. [06:11] gregbrady load? You downloaded one to your desktop, and dragged it onto the appearance window? [06:11] ok I`ll try [06:12] nickrud: all I get when I click on download are screenshots [06:12] type /servers [06:12] and pick a new one. [06:12] youre going to want at least 25% free space (lol, admittedly, thats the reccomendation in the windows defrag tool.. hahah) [06:12] nickrud: when i choose places->My Book is says that i am not previlegied to mount ... [06:12] hi, im trying to convert a xvid into a 320x240 mp4 for my creative zen.... what should i use? [06:12] psychlo userlist click with mouse where it says 1237 users [06:12] matthias_N, hm, that sounds strange. Anything in /etc/fstab gets mounted at boot. [06:13] hi === oddalot_ is now known as oddalot [06:13] is anyone familiar with running ubuntu on a ps3 ? (ive got no network devices showing on a clean install) [06:13] gregbrady I clicked on the screenshot on the front page, it gave me another page. Down the page I saw 3 download links, I clicked the first one. It downloaded. [06:13] how do I make miro xine engine uses alsa? [06:13] yuri_, try ffmpeg, make sure u install it from medibuntu though [06:14] !medibuntu | yuri [06:14] yuri: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [06:14] nickrud: see http://pastebin.com/d4e114e0c [06:14] #000000 [06:14] Is there a way to scan my windows paritions through linux in hopes of cleaning out a virus? What program can do this job? [06:14] !antivirus | speedhunt3r [06:14] speedhunt3r: 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 [06:14] pen : best I can do for ya is a link! :) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=781330 [06:14] klamav?

[06:22] nickrud: Themes just don't work. [06:22] matthias_N very strange that it doesn't mount at startup. The only thing I can think of is the usb subsystem isn't started before the mount command is run during startup. That is very strange [06:22] Brother_NoX: ok open terminal and type cd ~/Desktop/nvidia [06:22] nakedgoat the site didnt open [06:22] http://pearsononline.webex.com [06:22] Why won't catalyst 8.5 let me use my optimal monitor resolution?

They don't install when you drag them, what themes in particular are you talking about (there are icon, window decoration, control, etc themes) [06:22] bash: cd: /home/cj/Desktop/nvidia: No such file or directory [06:23] nickrud: i have an USB hub, let me power down completely before i i start it, but hey why does it need to be root ??, i am not root ... [06:23] whats root!?! :P [06:23] matthias_N stuff listed in fstab need to be mounted by root, but that's who mounts them during boot [06:23] nickrud: anytheme.....none download. Just a preview shows up [06:23] Brother_NoX: is nvidia the name of the folder you made. also linux is case sensitive [06:23] yuri_, try this ffmpeg -i -vb 300000 -s 320x240 file.mp4 [06:23] naked goat [06:23] yes [06:23] root is master login, like admin.

If you installed in another language it may be called something else [06:24] hello [06:24] how to: i take off the descriptive comments in ubuntu desktop ?

Deal with those. I will struggle alone on my own. [06:26] how do I make miro xine engine uses alsa? [06:27] how i takeoff the tooltips 4 ever? [06:27] "//say %C6 This is PURPLE.%C [06:27] Brother_NoX: if you type first few letters like Nvid then hit tab it should complete the name for you [06:27] gregbrady try looking for text: "download" , [06:27] xsmatt81: colored formatting doesn't work in this channel, and I don't think your client has /say [06:27] ok did it but nothing happened [06:28] nickrud: no unmounted, i have an USB hub where it is connected but the hard drive is running when i poer up my laptop ...

[06:29] phoenix24: what'd it say? [06:29] Brother_NoX: theres aperiod befor the/ [06:29] phoenix24: Starnestommy has a point - try installing vim-full first. [06:29] Brother_NoX: Please, tell me what result of command: grep DESKTOP ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs [06:29] ok it opened but [06:29] (if you haven't) [06:29] anybody here uses vmware workstation? [06:30] Hello? I need help with fglrx! [06:30] Manacim: I do sometimes. [06:30] ripps: what kind of help do you need with it? [06:30] striking7 [06:30] did you get 3d to work? [06:30] Striking7, http://paste.ubuntu.com/15478/ [06:30] Manacim: Yep. [06:30] Striking7, http://paste.ubuntu.com/15478/ [06:30] ERROR: You appear to be running an X server; please exit X before [06:30] installing. For further details, please see the section [06:30] anybody know what these packages would be ?

[06:30] phoenix24: clicked. [06:30] Brother_NoX: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:30] can anyone tell me the fastest way to transfer files from an ubuntu filesystem to an external harddrive formatted for mac os x which i need to remain formatted for osx? (smb, ftp, sftp...)? [06:30] ahh [06:30] !paste [06:30] 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) [06:31] errr...oops [06:31] nvm, you found the file already now [06:31] striking7: what kind of card you got? [06:31] phoenix24: Yeah, looks like you should be able to fix that by installing vim-full [06:31] sorry didnt know it was going to do that [06:31] how do I make miro xine engine uses alsa? [06:31] nickrud: no still not mounted [06:31] phoenix24: not sure if that's the full package name, but open up synaptic and look for vim. [06:31] Brother_NoX, for Nvidia driver to work u have to kill your xserver and go to bare terminal, why are u doing this anyway when there's an easy way, just use restricted manager [06:31] Brother_NoX: are you following a tutorial?? if so what is the http: [06:32] matthias_N I've no clue why it's not automounting then. Something strange in usb, maybe. Reading up [06:32] Striking7, thanks! [06:32] Manacim: I've tried it with the big 3, Intel, Nvidia, and ATI [06:32] Starnestommy: Why won't catalyst 8.5 let me use my optimal monitor resolution? It keeps saying my maximum is 1024x768 when it can go up to 1600x1200. [06:32] nickrud: can we add an timer so it waits for the hard drive to be mounted or change media/My Book to dev/sdb1 ??? [06:32] Manacim: Nvidia is the only one that works at present, that I know of [06:32] really? [06:32] phoenix24: Sure thing. Did that work? [06:32] i have an ati radeon 2400 pro agp [06:32] my card is workin fine [06:32] Striking7, installing [06:33] but no 3d using vmware [06:33] Manacim: the problem is that VMWare's 3D requires specific features of opengl. [06:33] to easy install video drivers use envy [06:33] yeah [06:33] well thx anyways [06:33] !ebvy [06:33] Factoid ebvy not found [06:33] Manacim: as far as I know (and my experience agrees), Nvidia's drivers are the only ones that suppor those features. [06:33] !envy [06:33] envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository and has community support. As an early version, its results may vary but this should be used over the unsupported envy package. [06:33] :-( [06:33] i g2g [06:33] thx for the info [06:33] =] [06:34] Manacim: Sure thing. Night [06:34] ripps: the drivers might not be able to automatically detect supported monitor resolutions [06:34] IF anyone has a second, i have a question on setting up MX518 mouse or any logitech for full support of buttons! Thank you [06:34] envy installed my ati driver and I was able to get compiz to work [06:34] nickrud: no mechansm to check for a certain time before proceeding or should my line be 1:st in the fstab ??? [06:34] matthias_N a sec, please [06:35] xsmatt81: I definitely can't answer your questions at the moment... tired as heck and leaving soon, but I had a similar issue [06:35] Starnestommy: I specifically put "1280x1024" under Modes in the Screen Section. Still nothing. [06:35] Brother_NoX: are you there? [06:35] hehe ok [06:35] how do I make miro xine engine uses alsa? [06:35] xsmatt81: www.ubuntuforums.org, look for imwheel [06:35] how do I make miro xine engine uses alsa? [06:35] xsmatt81: That fixed it for me. [06:35] I did the imwheel, but i would like example of x11org [06:36] imwheel was no luck for me [06:36] thank you though [06:36] xsmatt81: it's odd that way, if I remember right, because different mice will report clicks with different numbers. [06:36] yes im here [06:36] Striking7, yes; Installing vim-full helped :) [06:36] yes very time consuming [06:36] im looking for the tutorial i was using [06:37] phoenix24: Awesome! Glad to help. <3 vim [06:37] luckily firefox beta has back-forward support [06:37] xsmatt81: Hrm... problem is that different mice give different numbers to buttons. [06:37] Brother_NoX: i think your best bet is let envyng install the drivers for you. are you using gnome or kde? [06:37] but would like it in nautilus, and opera..for mouse back and forth and other buttons, using alt-< get's old [06:37] xsmatt81: they figure their windows drivers will differentiate for them :-( [06:38] do you have mx518? [06:38] nope dont knwo how to do any of that.. i just installed Ubuntu and loaded it up im now trying to install the drivers [06:38] xsmatt81: I've never tried to get it working in anything but Firefox, so I'm probably the wrong person to ask. Mx310 here, btw. [06:39] can anyone tell me if hteres a way to put audacious to just be a symbol in the systray? [06:39] Trusty MX310 - served me for like 4 years quite well :-) [06:39] Brother_NoX: on top panel click System tab does it say about gnome in there? [06:39] anyone know a good tool for download a website? [06:39] yes [06:39] Hi all, I have a data dvd I would like to split into couple of cds to use on a system which has WIndows. This system doesnt have a dvd drive either so writing as a dvd is not an option. Could any explain what process I might want to follow ? [06:39] how do you disable the bootup gui so the kernel messages are displayed (via grub)? [06:39] phoenix24: just wondering... what do you use vim for? [06:40] NukeSkyjumper: change [06:40] NukeSkyjumper: er, whoops, hold on [06:40] Brother_NoX: ok in terminal type sudo apt-get install envyng-gtk [06:40] NukeSkyjumper: get rid of the "quiet" directive [06:40] Striking7, programing [06:40] NukeSkyjumper: and anything that looks like "splash" [06:40] phoenix24: I figured, just curious what you do. [06:40] ah, splash. got it [06:41] NukeSkyjumper: remove the quiet splash in the defoptions line [06:41] ok done [06:41] yeah, removed quiet, but splash was still there. thanks [06:41] matthias_N rebooting, brb [06:41] phoenix24: just so you know, there are a ton of vim plugins for various languages and libraries. There's a rails plugin for ruby on rails programmers, for example. [06:41] Has anyone had much luck using wine with Rivatuner [06:41] nickrud: ? [06:42] * nakedgoat is gone.. autoaway after 15 min ..[cyp(l/on.p/on)] [06:42] phoenix24: which is totally different from the normal ruby plugin, which is also really cool. [06:42] Striking7, vim-plugin ? [06:42] Brother_NoX: ok now on top panel click Applications >system tools then Envyng and follow the directions it will install latest driver for you [06:42] Striking7, where can I get them ? [06:42] Has anyone had a problem with Firefox maximizing over the top and lower panels when a webpage calls to maximize the browser? [06:42] i'm trying to go here: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/server/C/firewall.html [06:42] but i'm getting a 404 [06:42] the link to that page is on: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition/features/security [06:43] hi [06:43] vluther: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/firewall.html [06:43] how do I make miro xine engine uses alsa? [06:43] phoenix24: vim.org [06:43] how do I find out what runlevel I am on? [06:43] It has instructions on how to install them. [06:43] and what they do. [06:43] and how to use them. [06:43] thanks Flannel: may wanna tell the copy guys about the broken link then :) [06:43] Kartagis: use the command "runlevel" [06:44] Kartagis: ubuntu only uses 1 and 2, and 1 is single-user mode, so you're in 2 [06:44] vluther: I'll file a bug once LP comes back up [06:44] is there any reason to have /vmlinuz be a link to your kernel image? update-grub keeps adding duplicates to the grub menu [06:44] lp? (i'm an ubuntu/debian noob, been using redhat/fedora/slack/centos) [06:44] NukeSkyjumper: Are you sure they're duplicates? [06:44] afk! food [06:45] vluther: Launchpad is a bug tracker and more. [06:45] !launchpad [06:45] Launchpad is a collection of development services for Open Source projects. It's Ubuntu's bug tracker, and much more; see https://launchpad.net/ [06:45] Flannel: yep. it's adding /vmlinuz and the real image in /boot [06:45] ahh [06:45] how do I find out what my kernel version is ? [06:45] navetz, uname -a [06:45] Has anyone had a problem with Firefox maximizing over the top and lower panels when a webpage calls to maximize the browser? [06:46] NukeSkyjumper: Pastebin your menu.lst please [06:46] usser: thanks [06:46] navetz, np [06:46] Flannel: http://nuklear.org/menu.lst [06:46] NukeSkyjumper: oh, you have a plain /boot/vmlinuz? without the version stuffs? [06:47] sudo update-rc.d alsa-utils start 2 <--- what is the correct syntax to this? [06:47] nickrude [06:47] Flannel: that's what hardy put there, apparently === [mindvirus] is now known as mindvirus [06:47] NukeSkyjumper: Interesting. Let me check my Hardy box. [06:47] matthias_N still here? [06:47] what happned to Hardware info [06:47] nickrud: i am here [06:48] i can not find it on Hardy.. [06:48] I have extra entries in my menu.lst file but I believe they are links to different kernel versions? [06:48] anyone have problem installing xubuntu? mine is stuck at 82% 'scanning the mirror' [06:48] tried to change ntfs to auto but did not work complained about nautilus .. [06:48] nickrud: tried to change ntfs to auto but did not work complained about nautilus .. [06:48] matthias_N ok, I found the technique that's supposed to work, but I get an error: "Need to rethink extra options." Honest :) add the line mount -a to /etc/rc.local , above exit 0. This is a hack but should work [06:49] nm found [06:49] gnome-device-manager [06:49] nickrud: hold on ... [06:49] why did they remove this from hardy? Gutsy had hard info..and i found it useful..ohwell [06:49] NukeSkyjumper: I don't have that. Are you sure you didn't make it by accident? Lets see if it belongs to a package. `dpkg -S /boot/vmlinuz` get anything? [06:49] Flannel: no packages [06:50] Does anyone know how to get a USB ethernet adapter to work with the Ubuntu server edition? It works with Debian Etch, but not Ubuntu. Any ideas on why this is? [06:50] NukeSkyjumper: Well, it shouldn't hurt to remove it, since it doesn't exist here, and I don't really see a good reason for it to exist anyway [06:50] nickrud: will try rebooting it right now ??? [06:50] i definitely didn't do it manually, but it was a text-install and i did forget to create a native /boot partition [06:51] matthias_N might as well. [06:51] NukeSkyjumper: You said it's in /? or in /boot? [06:51] nickrud: back in 5 [06:51] does anyone know any good virtulization software I can use? vmware and virtualbox both are having trouble with my new kernel [06:51] sudo update-rc.d alsa-utils start 2 <--- what is the correct syntax to this? [06:51] Flannel: there was one in /, but apparently the duplicate is the link from /boot [06:52] Kartagis using sysv-rc-init is much simpler than update-rc.d [06:52] navetz: vmware and vbox ARE the good software [06:52] NukeSkyjumper: Odd. That shouldn't be in / for any reason. I say remove them both. [06:52] Flannel: won't the /boot link be recreated by new kernel image packages? [06:52] Flannel the / ones are a holdover from debian [06:53] keveam, well what does it say when u plug it in? [06:53] NukeSkyjumper: Oh, right. they are. And I have those too. (in /) but there shouldn't be one in /boot, and no, it won't get recreated, or shouldn't. If it does, that package ought to lay claim to it within dpkg [06:53] keveam, what does dmesg say? does it get recognized at all? [06:53] nickrud: it works ... [06:54] how do you restart x? [06:54] NukeSkyjumper: What it might be is the one in /boot is misplaced from / [06:54] mokzu: they don't work :( [06:54] matthias_N a hack. You'll want to revisit this on the next release. [06:54] nickrud: is that a package I should apt-get? [06:54] HappyHater, CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE [06:54] Happy Hater, either just log out [06:54] nickrud: can you explain me what we have done and why ???, and why not right from the start ??? [06:54] Flannel: hmm. do you have similar links to config, initrd, and System.map? [06:54] (in /boot) [06:54] Kartagis yes, it's a semi-gui init.d editor [06:54] i'm looking here: http://wiki.freespire.org/index.php/Using_Apt [06:54] nickrud: becasue of windows meeese it up a bit ??? [06:54] I need help fixing X Window. It keeps on crashing on me when Im viewing some sites. As to exactly which sites, i can't tell which ones. Also, this happens when I try to maximize the Details window for an active torrent in transmission. [06:54] but it doesn't seem to say how to just show the packages that are already installed [06:55] Happy hatter:http://johnboy45.wordpress.com/2006/09/09/how-to-restart-x-windows-without-rebooting/ [06:55] xsmatt81: too slow :P I think he took the ctrl+alt+bksp router [06:55] s/router/route [06:55] usser: It says no network hardware found during the install. [06:55] NukeSkyjumper: If you're worried about it, rename it, and see if something breaks next upgrade. No, just in /, vmlinuz and initrd.img [06:55] hmm didnt know that method, but either works [06:56] nickrud: apt-get search can!t [06:56] keveam, can u pastebin the output of dmesg when u pop it in [06:56] nickrud: apt-get search can't find it [06:56] matthias_N what we've done is told the system how to mount your external, with the options you want (in /etc/fstab) . For some reason, the disk isn't mounted at boot (as all fstab entries are supposed to be) so we tell the system to try mounting it again, as the last thing it does in the bootup sequence [06:56] not woried. i'll let it break, to see what happens [06:56] apt-cache search [06:56] Hello, how do I bring up /etc/apt/sources.list? [06:56] sorry, i meant apt-cache search [06:57] any know how i can make sure my DSL modem connection starts up automatically? [06:57] nickrud: the mount -a in /etc.local that does it again ... [06:57] usser: No, as it's during the install of the server edition. [06:57] psykroll: alt-f2 gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [06:57] haha duh cntl-alt-backspc [06:57] Kartagis sysv-rc-conf , sorry [06:57] good deal, all this time i have been restarting X the hard way [06:57] matthias_N yes [06:58] nickrud: thnak you for the help are you one of the programmers ??? [06:58] genii: tyvm! [06:58] nickrud: by any cjane ??? [06:58] psykroll: Wlcome [06:58] bah, typos [06:58] keveam, oh i see, are u setting it up in a virtual machine? i suggest u finish the installation so we can troubleshoot from there [06:58] nickrud: by any chance, getting sleepy ... :) [06:58] matthias_N lol, I hope not. If I was, I'd suggest running as fast as you can away from this os ;) [06:58] only 11 pm here, wide awake [06:59] im using "pon dsl-provider" at commanf line.. [06:59] no work tommrow, think i will play some quakewars [06:59] usser: No, no virtual machine. [06:59] hmmm 3rd time i tried to install xubuntu, it's stuck at 82% again [06:59] how do I make miro xine engine uses alsa? [06:59] nickserv register help [06:59] mokzu: did you burn the disc slowly [06:59] usser: HD install. [07:00] Burn disc at 2x..then check disc for defect [07:00] xsmatt81 - it's a mounted iso file [07:00] sam_ you can add pon dsl-provider to /etc/rc.local as a hack. [07:00] nickrud: no i would not, seems interesting hate everyting with microsoft but orks but have more time on the market like to see a change in the windows dominace ... [07:00] oh hmm [07:01] nickrud: under which menu does IT go? [07:01] what's the key to press to see what's happening behind the install progress bar? [07:01] keveam, well there is not much i can help u with at this point. Install it so we can see whats happening there, maybe usb controller didnt get recognized, or maybe it is recognized but its initialization is done after network recognition i dunno [07:01] Kartagis it's probably not in a menu, you'd run it from a terminal: sudo sysv-rc-conf [07:01] usser: Alright. [07:02] anyone around able to help me confirm a potential bug? :) [07:02] nickrud: do a great job ... [07:02] squish it, if it stops moving it was a bug [07:02] is ubuntu good decision for rather old hardware (1,4 GHZ, 512 ram) ? [07:02] mokzu: lol :) === roxahris__ is now known as roxahris [07:02] matthias_N the best strength I have is bulldog attitude, and willingness to hack away at crap [07:02] to mount ISO is Gmount-iso good choice?

[08:14] alienbrain: dist-upgrade upgrades the main core elements [08:14] newbieubuntu : i missed ur issue, Flannel, whats up with him? [08:14] newbieubuntu: What options do you have?

[08:16] alienbrain: sometimes it may render a system unusable due to compatibility and other problems [08:16] nakedgoat: Answering doesn't have to be a muutally exclusive thing. You probably remember the options better than I do. I haven't installed without manual partitioning (and the alternate CD at that) in ages. [08:16] pen: casue it works [08:17] Is there a way of parititoning on windows and then choosing it in linux [08:17] sarmisak: then what is i released if it's not compatible? [08:17] newbieubuntu yes [08:17] is it* [08:17] nakedgoat, I actually did that hours ago [08:17] nakedgoat, no use [08:17] newbieubuntu: Just shrink your windows partition, then use the free space in the installer. One of the options should be do to do that automatically (the using the free space) [08:17] of course, newbieubuntu. i already forgot how. i think it was in Admin Tools or something. [08:18] sarmisak: sorry, that was meant to be: why is it released if it's not compatible? [08:18] sarmisak: eh? there's no reason not to use dist-upgrade [08:18] newbieubuntu : u using raid? [08:18] Hey guys, i know that i'm probably sol here, but I have a bunch of email saved into a pst file, any ideas on how to import them into evolution?

[08:41] prodigel : why you still need a floopy ;) [08:41] hi all [08:41] Soldat, yep it was on its own line without "#" eg. blacklist hpt366 [08:42] nakedgoat, I'll explain you if you really need it, fact is I need to use floppies [08:42] * nakedgoat pc's has no floppy [08:42] thanks for the help [08:42] beb ack tomorrow [08:42] flannel: thanks for the tip, but I think i'm aiming for cron/ssh/bash scripts solution at the moment [08:42] prodigel : I'm sure you already viewed ::: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-3687.html [08:42] Flannel: hmm not working... [08:43] flannel: just wanted to know if anyone had some advice before I started digging in the books [08:43] Flannel: Could not oppen the address "..." There was an error launching the default action command associated with this location. [08:43] magnetron: thanks, perhaps it was a temporary strange behaviour, because the download was 100 mb, it is still downloading something but now works fine [08:43] Maxus: the only think i can think of is its not listed right in the blacklist file or the name in which it is listed isnt right. do you think you can do a lsmod and make sure he nme is right [08:44] * nakedgoat guesses give flannel a break :) he can't work on crackers [08:44] Soldats, yep i copy and pasted it from the lsmod and esnured there was no white space, Is the hpt366 driver built into the kernel?

[08:45] nakedgoat: I don't want to change it's permissions just CHOWN it to the corresponding user? [08:45] Should I use chmod 777 for this ? [08:46] a+w? [08:46] sorry a+x? [08:46] I thought CHOWN is to change group [08:46] backslash7 : well 77 will do all users [08:46] chgrp changse group, chown changes ownership [08:46] Maxus: i honestly feel your concern but i really cant understand why it isnt blacklisting it. it seems very strange to me. i wish i couold help further but.....im too used to doing it the way i mentioned so forgive me. maybe ask again and hopefully someone will help [08:46] nakedgoat: 777 is never a good set of permissions [08:46] aah okay faisal_d thx I'll try [08:46] I did an upgrade from Dapper to Hardy using Alternate CD..

Still I'm curios why nautilus won't mount it from 'Computer' tab. [08:47] Chousuke : never? never say never? I use it to trblshoot [08:48] backslash7: anyway, for chown you need to use it like this: sudo chown user:group directory/ [08:48] nakedgoat: I got it now, /home/MYUSER belongs to MYUSER - MYUSER now [08:48] okay [08:48] prodigel : kewl, ask away if ur still stuck [08:48] It's fine now === mactimes_ is now known as mactimes [08:48] backslash7 : good [08:48] Maxus: yes as i have always done so. thats why it is strange [08:48] thanks [08:48] :D [08:48] tyberion: That's the exact error?

There's a package for it. curlftpfs [09:00] Still, I wonder how you keep all changes to debian packages [09:00] if we could keep al debain packages I wouldn't be pissed about bitchx :) [09:00] uh okay thanks for that additional info Flannel. It's absolutely fine with nautilus.

[09:04] ok naked [09:04] good morning #ubuntu. I just installed Hardy in VirtualBox. The installer detected the resolution of the (virtual) VESA as 800x600. It's capable of 1024x768 (booted with vga=0x317). My problem is the 'Screen Resolution' tool still believes the max resolution is 800x600. Is there a way to override that, or another tool to configure xorg apart from manually? [09:04] could use a bit of advice. I have 5 virtual servers (VB) running in a host, which connects to a switch>router>modem>internet>external_workgroup and switch>int_workgroup. I want all the VB servers to periodically connect to the host, and get instructions from it to perform. before i set it up, does anyone have recommendations/advice pro/con? [09:04] hi [09:04] Bille : did u install the -ose? [09:04] (blam) [09:04] nakedgoat: yes, OSE [09:04] k [09:05] one sec, lemme help kite, then I'll help u [09:05] nakedgoat: if i switch to a text console the resolution is 1024x768 alright. only when i start X does it switch down.

[09:44] fde : launch applications using it. [09:44] if you have ubuntu questions ask away [09:44] Ziroday: Maybe previous versions of xrandr ... not the version in Ubuntu though... although there is a slim chance I am mistaken... heh [09:45] gnutron, but well that one works now, i have that password now, i dont want to break mythtv [09:45] * nakedgoat checks his domains status [09:45] Ward1983: you lost me.

[09:48] kite: modern nardware usually overkill for Linux [09:48] fde : Could this have anything to do with "Fontconfig error: "~/.fonts.conf", line 2: not well-formed (invalid token)" [09:48] yeah [09:48] gnutron, also tried that allready :) [09:48] i think im safe [09:48] i shouldnt have much of a problem them [09:48] ten [09:48] Ward1983: any error?

[09:56] kite: simple-ccsm [09:56] fde: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15498/. I pasted the output down there. [09:56] dave12: really bad idea if you ask me [09:57] Got a question related to recompiling the kernel, if that's not taboo. Specifically, recompiling to add CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G to the 32-bit kernel. [09:57] yeah i did [09:57] anyone knows how to make it [09:57] ? [09:57] Vertelemming: ask [09:58] im uinstalling ccsm right now [09:58] * kdc1956 is back (gone 01:54:29) [09:58] and gonna try and reinstall it again [09:58] I'm pretty sure I've added the config option to the kernel sources correctly, and that seems to have compiled properly. It's the linux-ubuntu-modules and linux-restricted-modules packages that I'm confused on. Do I have to add it to the config files in those before I recompile, or install the kernel before I recompile those? [09:58] wow.... [09:58] would I need a blockid to specify in /etc/fstab for a samba share? [09:59] How do I know what device my webcam is? [09:59] Kartagis: it helps [09:59] magnetron: how do I find that out? [10:00] Kartagis: you can get the UUID using "sudo blkid" in a terminal [10:00] Vertelemming: i would recompile them before installing the new kernel but i've never done it (i se vanilla kernels and use the vanilla way of compiling) [10:00] is there anyway i can resize partitions(make my windows partition smaller and ubuntu one bigger) without having to format the drive? [10:00] wasn't expecting ubuntu to be this good =) [10:00] debian: lspci -v or lsusb -v should reveal the webcam [10:00] your web cam should work mine does here [10:01] nebulta: you can use Windows partition manager to reduce Windows partitions. [10:01] hi [10:01] ntolo: I think you should probably use that output as a bug report... my apologies. [10:01] nebulta: yes, you can! you would need to do it from a live cd, as you can't resize the OS you are running. i recommend the gparted live cd for this [10:01] Hrm. That was my guess too. I suppose adding the option to the config files can't hurt. If it means nothing to them, they should just get ignored during compilation. [10:02] magnetron: Parted LiveCD is indeed the best tool. [10:02] fde:thanks for your time. [10:02] Thanks for the advice. [10:02] ahhh alright awesome, thank you much, didn't think about a livecd, since no drive would be mounted it would allow to resize them [10:02] thanks a ton [10:02] cheers nebulta [10:02] nebulta: I cannot live without a Gparted LiveCD. [10:03] arg, one more thing and i'll get out of yall's hair. this is my first time running a distro outside of a livecd. when ubuntu gets updated, will i have to redo everything or how does that work? [10:04] nebulta: no relationship between partitioning and updating. [10:04] question has nothing to do with partitioning [10:04] just the os in general [10:04] nebulta: Ubuntu updates try not to disturb anything you've got setup. It doesn't always succeed, but... in any case, it should retain configuration and home directories and what have you. If it encounters anything it doesn't know what to do with, it'll ask you during the update process. [10:04] like when ubuntu his say 9.x [10:04] *hits [10:05] nebulta: when ubuntu is upgraded, the settings are kept [10:05] ahhh good stuff, best too all of ya [10:05] nebulta: And the programs! [10:05] if I want sync my /usr of unbuntu pc1 with ubuntu usr pc2 which folders insede will sync you? [10:06] sudo mount -t smbfs -o username=user,password=pass //campus01/mtozses /mnt/t should do it, right? [10:06] dave12, why do you want to sync /usr? [10:06] What is the best ubuntu bittorrent client??? [10:07] !best > debian [10:07] dave12, it can sometimes be useful for lots of machines, with nfs mounted /usr, but syncing them may be quite a hassle [10:07] !bittorrent > debian [10:07] Hmm, I'm not in the mood of configuring rtorrent, ktorrent is for kde... [10:07] Does anyone know how to "remove" the launcher (aka icons) from the desktop? Like a link to any extra partition you have within ubuntu? [10:07] debian: read the message from ubottu [10:08] magnetron: Witch is based on GTK? [10:08] btdownloadcurses.bittorrent [10:08] debian i find theres nothing wrong with transmission [10:08] debian: did you read the message from ubottu? [10:08] magnetron: Tes... [10:08] debian: azureus for torrent, definately :) [10:09] och1: delete them, they're just symlinks [10:09] debian: in the messsage, it says "Transmission (GTK based)", did you read that? === p33 is now known as |p33| [10:09] magnetron: I allready have Transmission... [10:10] debian: azureus is the best torrent client .. [10:10] gnutron, nope. I tried that. When I installed the OS, ubuntu put them there and now I can [10:10] http://azureus.sourceforge.net/ [10:10] debian: transmission is good. try deluge too. if you like gtk apps [10:10] because I have a project to sync one pc wit other [10:10] automatically with rsync [10:10] gnutron, can't get them off without umount it. [10:10] question about top panel: how do I see properties for apps loaded onto my panel if there is no settings / properties / about with === Effex is now known as BrokenShadow [10:10] until know I sync all etc var and home === BrokenShadow is now known as Effex [10:11] I need taht every program I have in pc1 stay in pc2 [10:11] who what ubuntu? [10:11] dave12: are you running ubuntu? [10:11] yeah [10:12] dave12, it may be easier to do that with dpkg [10:13] dave12, check out http://www.debianadmin.com/clone-your-ubuntu-installation.html [10:13] I use rsync to syn the pc [10:13] how thefish? [10:13] * nakedgoat goe's to play with domain names, yekll if ya need me [10:13] sudo mount -t smbfs -o username=user,password=pass //campus01/mtozses /mnt/t should do it, right? [10:13] it gives me error [10:14] Kartagis: you shouldn't use smbfs. use cifs instead. sam functionality, except it works :D [10:14] magnetron: the same thing [10:15] any direct ubuntu questions?

[11:15] debian: u can resize ntfs from the ubuntu install dvd [11:15] usama: I need WPA shartificates [11:15] gnutron: But... Ubuntu is on the NTFS partition... [11:15] debian: ext3 rather, or your fave flavor. [11:15] how much space you got over there in CA, geekhut? [11:15] copy the data off the ntfs partition [11:15] debian: in a file? [11:16] aegzorz: Ubuntu is on the NTFS partion [11:16] debian: you can use gparted to create an empty space. The installer will format that empty space. [11:16] aegzorz: A folder [11:16] create a new ext3 partition and install ubuntu there [11:16] does anyone know if they got BSD & Macinpoop working in Virtualbox or any other virtual application yet? [11:16] och1: i would recommend qemu [11:16] debian: then u can shrink the NTFS one === goki_work_ is now known as goki_work [11:17] debian: why don't you just backup your etc and home directory, create a blank partition and then install? [11:17] magbetron, does that mean yes for qemu? is it rep? [11:17] usama: My Ubuntu, is inside a folder in the NTFS partition! [11:17] sarmisak: I need the WPA setifikates!

(2.6.24-16) [11:19] seems it is possible to transfer to a new partition [11:19] mr_boo: yes you can [11:19] debian: yea, so copy those folders frm INSIDE the NTFS partition [11:19] then make a new ext3 partition [11:19] inst ubuntu there [11:20] paste all that data (home folder and etc folder_ [11:20] hi, any body use suspend/hebirnate mode in hardy?

[11:23] Silicium: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:23] anybody here use brasero for burning discs? [11:25] robg_: what about suspend mode in your alternate hardy? [11:30] Hi! i upgraded gutsy to hardy via the Net,and when i received the CD Rom i wanna add it to (sources list>third party sofwtare>add CD-ROM) ,i insert the CD but i got error msg : E:Failed to mount the cdrom. so whats the problem? [11:32] beginner: CD signed to install an OS. [11:32] beginner: designed to install an OS. [11:33] Is there a tag for errors in the syslog? [11:33] like EE or something [11:33] robg_ so no problem if i won't add it to sources list ? [11:33] arrg, bind won't start, error: "open: /etc/bind/named.conf: permission denied" [11:33] beginner: logic is contained in OS. I [11:33] what permission should it have? [11:33] beginner: OS knows best. [11:34] PastorBones: are you running it as root using sudo? [11:34] yes [11:34] hey guys anyone needs support? [11:34] actually, I'm su [11:34] I've got bind chrooted... [11:34] PastorBones: log out of su and try to run the command with sudo [11:34] k [11:35] hello! there appears to be sth wrong with my packages. An update notification came up for a partial upgrade. ooffice couldn't be upgraded, and the packages for writer, base, math, draw, and impress were removed. I installed them from synaptic, but now I can't install language support for them. I get this --> http://pastebin.com/m25b624e6 from synaptic [11:35] PastorBones: make sure nothing besides bind is using named.conf, no text editors or whatever... [11:35] I think bind runs as a nonpriv user for security reasons, ownership should probably be to group 'bind' or something ... [11:35] sorry, something was wrong with my internet connection - a still interesitng about SUSPEND/HIBERNATE MODE in HARDY, some body use it? [11:35] ok robg__ and if i want to turn from ubuntu to edubuntu ,should i desinstall hardy ? or just adding some pakcages from edubuntu CD (sorry im new & beginner with linux) [11:35] how do I do that neeto? [11:35] sudo didn't work [11:35] afternoon all [11:35] PastorBones: /msg me [11:35] anyone here familiar with TorK? [11:36] -rw-r--r-- 1 root bind 907 2008-04-10 07:42 /etc/bind/named.conf [11:36] beginner: I always use re-install method. Others may know of an upgrade method. [11:36] well, I got it as bind:bind [11:37] robg__: I dont think you have to reinstall [11:37] everything in /etc/bind/ is bind:bind [11:37] PastorBones: as long as group 'bind' can read it that should be right... [11:37] Seeker: OK tell him howto. [11:37] dunno but i dont want to get risk of loosing data!by reinstalling it [11:37] robg__: beginner: "sudo apt-get install edubuntu-desktop" will add all of the edubuntu base install pacakges to your system [11:37] beginner: you must always save data to removable storage. [11:38] beginner, sudo aptitude install edubuntu-desktop [11:38] robg__: You mean that you should back up data to removable storage [11:38] that installs edubuntu on top of ubuntu [11:38] can i use usplash with vgafb16? [11:38] uhm vga16fb [11:39] Seeker: It is always smart to plan for future failures and future re-installs. [11:39] hey all [11:39] ive just downloaded the server install ubuntu 8.04 and would like to do a text only install, doI need to boot to the live environment? Can anyone please advise [11:39] all storage is removable with sufficient leverage.. [11:39] or do I need the alternative ISO? [11:39] robg__: Yes, but you dont need to save ll of your data to external storage, just back it up regularly [11:39] seeker,ratpoison thats will do it from the net or CD Rom coz i have Edubuntu addon CD [11:39] ActionParsnip, no you dont [11:39] beginner: That will add the edubuntu packages from the internet [11:39] that will do it from the net [11:39] patric_: how do i kick off the text install please? [11:40] Seeker: I want to be able to wipe my harddisk clean and rebuild any system. [11:40] I unplug my /home drive during reinstalls, 'just in case' and then reconfigure it afterwards... I've been known to get confused and format the wrong drive.. [11:40] BUT if you add the CD as a repo , you can choose to install edubuntu-desktop from synaptic I guess [11:40] robg__: that isn't the best method fro everyone [11:40] zcat[1]: good move [11:40] ActionParsnip, when you turn the cd in. it asks you for language. in this option can you set install method to ext mode.. [11:40] Seeker: OK [11:40] hello! there appears to be sth wrong with my packages. An update notification came up for a partial upgrade. ooffice couldn't be upgraded, and the packages for writer, base, math, draw, and impress were removed. I installed them from synaptic, but now I can't install language support for them. I get this --> http://pastebin.com/m25b624e6 from synaptic [11:40] ratpoison: its probably best to go with the simplest option [11:40] patric_: so its in the language list? [11:41] ActionParsnip, wait i try it shortly [11:41] Seeker` beginner, yup unless your connection is really slow [11:41] patric_: appreciate it man [11:41] Seeker,ratpoison my connexion is 256 k i think it ll need much of time to download edu packages [11:41] beginner, choose the net version. It will be more up-to-date than the cd as well [11:42] beginner, you'll waste quite a lot of time upgrading to new software anyway [11:42] hey all, I'm running into a bit of a stability issue while playing files with mplayer, sometimes my computer completely locks up if I am watching a movie or something. I can't find anything about it in the logs... anyone have any suggestions? [11:42] beginner: it shouldn't be too long, you probably have quite a few of the main packages installed anyway [11:42] does anyone know some good linux port of classic doom? [11:43] thnx seeker & ratpoison :) last question how i can add cd to repository [11:43] neeto: what video card and which drivers?

[12:18] dave12, that made very little sence to me.. all that script does it generates a list of ALL packages installed on pc1, and you then take that list to pc2. the 2nd half of the script then reads the list and tries to install the programs if they are not allready installed. You could generate a list on both machines and some how compared them if you wanted. [12:18] package manager cannot connect to ca.archive.ubuntu.com (129.97.134.71) !!

[12:46] do you have any other ideas [12:47] ive checked my ports and there open [12:47] Zbradsta, :)...you give me 10% of the information and ask me for ideas [12:47] what you mean 10% [12:47] not enough info [12:48] andre__, please describe your problem a bit more..posting a screenshot of gparted will help..the one that shows sda [12:48] anirudh0, http://www.redhat.com/magazine/001nov04/departments/tips_tricks/ [12:48] i typed in all that it said to do and all it said to me was "error while fetching mail" [12:48] Zbradsta are you sure you've enterd the write email? [12:48] yes [12:48] i still get a screen flicker in full screen mode any leads [12:48] guys what is an LVM? [12:49] marcat, sorry..but how does what help? [12:49] mordof, linux volume manager..i think.. :) [12:49] morfof: logical volume manager [12:49] Zbradsta: it looks like a network issue, the protocol is breaking at the middle. [12:49] or linux virtual machine [12:49] anirudh0, turn off drawing of window content. makes this faster [12:49] :) [12:49] I do not know how, but my ubuntu got a problem of unmet dependencies which will remove most of my essential packages to resolve these dependencies... can i get a solution for this problem? :( [12:50] anirudh0, wrong person :( [12:50] Pramod_Helios: Yes [12:50] display: :0.0 screen: 0 [12:50] OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc. -- OpenGL renderer string: ATI Radeon HD 3600 Series -- OpenGL version string: 2.1.7415 Release [12:50] Out of curiosity is Edgy supported still ?

[12:50] ok im not sure how to fix it cus my modem is a dsl-302g and all of the setting are blocked from bein changed exept for port forwarding [12:50] what is the solution julien_china? [12:50] Pramod_Helios: There is probably one package only who is making the mess, try to identify it and remove it. [12:50] marcusklaas, http://www.redhat.com/magazine/001nov04/departments/tips_tricks/ [12:51] Filled-Void, AFAIK dapper is supported [12:51] Filled-Void: Dapper is the oldest still supported [12:51] thanks marcat will look into it [12:51] Pramod_Helios: Do you know how to use apt with the command line ? [12:51] ok lemme try it [12:51] thank you folks :> [12:51] marcusklaas, well it looks kinda bad with all the wires. there may be other settings around. or manual editing .... [12:51] I am having some words cut off after changing locale..screenshot at http://img81.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotox0.png [12:51] il jst have to use the firefox browser cus my comp obviously dont like me [12:51] Hey guys. I'm wondering how I can give a local user bind() permissions. [12:52] anirudh0: I had a setup running encrypted lvm over /dev/sda2 and /dev/sdb (sda1 30gb ext3 partition, and using the whole sdb). But when i by accident ran this install, it fucked up the partition table, and created a 15mb partition on /dev/sda, and the rest is unallocated.. luckily the new partition is in the first 30gb partition that was only used for testing, but i really need to have back /dev/sda2.. [12:52] anirudh0, words get cut off in the text enter box of xchat? [12:52] marcat: yes i think checking that option changes multiple things -- will probably need to manually edit some config fil [12:53] hey does any one know how i can make it so my user has permanant root privaleges [12:53] Zbradsta, NO [12:53] Zbradsta: bad idea! [12:53] marcat, never happened before [12:53] Zbradsta: there is a reason you dont have :) [12:53] Hi i need to recover deleted files from an ext3 part. Wich is the tool / tut to doo it?

I can't use bind() on a non-root user at the moment, how can I fix this? [12:54] marcat: yeah but i don't like vista, so i'm still on xp xD. vista sucks way too much performance out of everything [12:54] i need 2 make it so i dont have to constantly type in a password [12:54] Zbradsta: you can set up passwordless sudo, see 'man sudoers'. Not brilliant security though. [12:54] server cafeirc.org [12:54] Zbradsta: if its a lot of commands you have to copy-paste as root you can use "sudo su" [12:54] sorry [12:54] ok cool thanks im off [12:54] 'sudo -i' is preferable over 'sudo su' [12:54] pity..i'll have to switch back to the english locale :( [12:54] Zbradsta: use sudo -i instead as foldart suggests [12:54] anirudh0, have you asked for xchat help in #xchat [12:55] kk cya guys hav fun [12:55] bye [12:55] Zbradsta: You can activate the capability for root to login.

Only root can bind ports below 1024 [12:57] must be dri only thing left [12:57] jussi01: I disagree with this policy, which is not very convenient.

Discuss the merits of it in #ubuntu-offtopic please [12:57] no astro76, i mean not the folder in that specific place. but i mean the low level /etc --- i know you can use ~ to go to home but what is it for /etc? [12:57] julien_china: It's a second password to manage for a start... [12:57] marcusklaas you're doing it wrong [12:57] if you are in home and go cd /etc you'll just go /home/etc [12:57] LaneLimited, http://youtube.com/user/mrynit look at my vids [12:57] !bash | marcusklaas [12:58] marcusklaas: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful.

[13:00] is a database basically a huge array? [13:00] marcat: i just installed kiba-dock .... is it harder then that? that was easy, i guess... [13:00] LordFlashy: yes, there is flash-nonfree and gnash [13:00] What is a file with ~ behind it? For example, there is xorg.conf and there's xorg.conf~. [13:00] julien_china: the only topics allowed are ubuntu *support* [13:00] LordFlashy, adobe seams to be the best swf player at the moment, or lets say the fastest but it is fucking buggy.

[13:01] LaneLimited, just goto applications > add/ remove type in the names. Like i said i got recordMyDesktop to work on very old computer [13:01] Hello, I'm wondering if there's somewhere I can put an export for PATH for the local Gnome session. I can't seem to alter the environment vars for my local session. Any ideas? [13:01] Thanks chelz, astro76 [13:01] so do I need to remove the old on to make the adobe one work properly? [13:01] is there any difference in the different english locales..eng(us),eng(can),eng(gb),eng(au),eng(in), and others? [13:01] LordFlashy: uninstall one of both, two flash plugins in the same browser .. recepy for conflicts ;) [13:01] exit [13:02] marcat: thank you [13:02] LordFlashy, nice name, considering your current problem :) [13:02] will that be in firefox itself? [13:02] Lachlan how about ~/.bash_profile [13:02] Lachlan: ~/.profile [13:02] I'll try both of those, thanks guys. [13:02] someone owns lord_flashheart on this network [13:02] (are they different to bashrc? [13:02] ) [13:02] LordFlashy: no try removing it via synaptic [13:02] Lachlan, ~/.bashrc...ubuntu does [13:02] so I use this [13:02] LaneLimited, how bad of hardware do you have? i got recordmd to work by command line under IceWM on xubuntu [13:02] Lachlan: yes there's a difference, I always have to look it up though to remember ;) [13:02] Lachlan, does'nt use .bash_profile by default [13:03] How can i try to identify the package which is causing the broken dependencies problem? can anyone guide me please? [13:03] I have an export in .bashrc, but that doesn't seem to work. It works for terminal sessions, but not Gnome. (I'm trying to open eclipse from an icon on the desktop, says it can't find jvm, works in terminal) [13:03] Lachlan: right, .profile will do what you want ;) [13:03] Thanks astro76 :) [13:03] how can i make my kpkg built kernel build my initramfs too?? [13:03] Lachlan, unless the terminal is invoked, bashrc is not read [13:03] anirudh0: I had a setup running encrypted lvm over /dev/sda2 and /dev/sdb (sda1 30gb ext3 partition, and using the whole sdb). But when i by accident ran this install, it fucked up the partition table, and created a 15mb partition on /dev/sda, and the rest is unallocated.. luckily the new partition is in the first 30gb partition that was only used for testing, but i really need to have back /dev/sda2.. [13:03] Lachlan, are you isntalling java? [13:04] twosharp, you are same are andre_ ? [13:04] ompaul: Where can I find the list of taboo topics ? [13:04] anirudh0: yes, sorry i had to change nick =) [13:04] how do i select login screen resolution ? [13:04] twosharp: did you try gparted (live cd) to check what's happening ? [13:04] Pramod_Helios: wait a minute. [13:04] Boris, press f4 [13:04] julien_china, you can't but you can look at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines you can see what is encouraged [13:04] hey everyone :) [13:05] wow I had all three [13:05] twosharp, well...if you have repatitioned and _formatted_, then AFAIK there is no easy way to get data back [13:05] glitsj16: im running gparted now on the ubuntu livecd [13:05] no wonder it wasn't working [13:05] hi. im in the livecd, how do i mount my sda1? [13:05] lol Lordflashy [13:05] revilodraw, sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt [13:05] julien_china: anything not ubuntu support is offtopic, that's the list. It's not taboo, it's just in a different channel (#ubuntu-offtopic) so people in this room can just get help with their ubuntu [13:06] LordFlashy, lord flashheart is a hp character, right? [13:06] Pramod_Helios: What did you type before you saw that apt wanted to remove all the list you mentionned ? [13:06] patric_: thank you!! [13:06] <[nrx]> hi folks, can anyone help me installing VMWare on Heron? The synaptic wont install it because it complains about unresolved dependencies [13:06] Blackadder [13:06] anirudh0: i have only repartioned, no data is overwritten because it only write to the first 15mb of sda1 and not touching sda2 [13:06] revilodraw, you are welcome [13:06] twosharp, you can get gparted on a usb flash drive. less over head that ubuntu live [13:06] i think it happened when i tried to install support for the Hindi Language and after that i tried to reinstall the swn-manager [13:06] Rick Mayall's multi series cameo [13:07] i mean awn-manager** [13:07] i have deleted a directory (the etc/samba folder) is there someway to recover it, please? [13:07] [nrx], hey, you need to adjust your /etc/apt/sources.list [13:07] patric_: hey hold on, this is bad. any linux user could use a livecd to gain access to a linux computer, since you bypass the login! [13:07] twosharp, i use gparted usualy with slax so i can poke around with slax then use gparted [13:07] !undelete | pembs [13:07] twosharp, wait for someone else to help you...i am not very certain of your case, and any wrong action now will completely destroy hopes of rrecovery [13:07] pembs: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although a method that might work in some cases is described at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html [13:07] <[nrx]> patric_, i've checked that, and it all seems to be okay [13:07] marcat: i know, but i need xchat also so i can be here chatting with you ;) [13:07] LordFlashy, yup..best comedy series ever imho [13:07] zSoilworker: nothing happens [13:07] astro, ok thanks ill have a look at that [13:07] revilodraw, and the same live cd will let you at the hard drive of a windows machine [13:07] marcat: Great video, thanks a lot!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!* [13:07] twosharp, slax has irc clients. you can do a perma install [13:08] revilodraw, yes but you can set a BIOS password and set different boot options [13:08] it's a toos up between it and Jeeves and Wooster for me [13:08] pembs: yes in /usr/share/doc/samba/examples probably or the most simple is to type : [13:08] sudo apt-get remove --purge samba && sudo apt-get install samba [13:08] LaneLimited, the linux journal one? i use miro to get all those shows now that learned about it [13:08] patric_, yes..that is why you are supposed to disable boot from cd in bios [13:08] marcat: I didn't understand what miro was.... [13:08] [nrx], this things with the sources are mostly quiet strange, i would download the sources and compile it [13:08] The programs require the kernel module i8k.o which can be compiled from the package sources or found in Linux kernel 2.4.14 and later versions. [13:08] LordFlashy, lol..some same characters right..but jeeves and wooster seemed too slow paced to me [13:08] pembs: I was thinking you were trying to recover a custom config, but julien_china has made a very good point [13:09] Where can I get that kernel module? Thanks! [13:09] <[nrx]> patric_, do you know if it's a known issue with heron? [13:09] ompaul and patric; hmm very true, but i like to think linux is more secure... anyway. if you could help with one other thing, im still in the live cd, i want to copy some files to an external hdd, but the permissions are set to read only, what can i do? [13:09] LaneLimited, getmiro.com or org. it is an iptv aggeragotr, it downloads internet tv shows and manages them. its like itunes but for internet tv [13:09] KOJV, apt-file search [13:09] Hello, if I burn DVD content on a regular CD-R, can I play it on TV with a regular DVD player? I am using DeVeDe on Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (Wubi) on Toshiba Satellite M55. The DVD player attached to my TV is a Polaroid DHX1-1000A. Any pertinent information is helpful. If you think there might be another channel which might be of more help, please let me know about that too. Thank you. [13:09] marcat: nice [13:09] [nrx], how do mean that ? [13:09] marcat, but does'nt play audio [13:10] kushal_12_27_200: it should, is it not? [13:10] anirudh0, its not meant for audio, it is for IPTV. it will play sounds files [13:10] kushal_12_27_200: oh cd-r [13:10] anirudh0: please be more specific, I'm teh n00b. [13:10] kushal_12_27_200: probably not, some players might [13:10] anirudh0: ok, thank you very much for trying at least =) but what i need is actually just to find what sector the encrypted partition is starting on, and make a new partition table for /dev/sda where i make sda2 start from that sector and end with the last sector of the disk.. this way i can mount sda2 and continue as normal :P well at least get my files out :) [13:10] Hi, ls -l /media/cdrom [13:10] lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 999 6 2008-03-20 04:50 /media/cdrom -> cdrom0 [13:10] marcat, yes of course...i meant itunes is also meant as an audio player right [13:10] julien, i have done that before and just tried again and get the same error message [13:10] LaneLimited, http://revision3.com/ http://getmiro.com/ http://www.geekbrief.tv/ http://dl.tv/ [13:10] what's this 999? [13:11] anirudh0, i said itunes for IPTV [13:11] twosharp, best of luck [13:11] <[nrx]> well, I was running it on 7.10 2 hours ago.. I've just upgraded to Heron and VMWare was complaining of issues. so I removed it.. and want to install it again. I'm guessing the repo's for Heron aren't quite sorted yet? === zSoilworker is now known as zSkr00w [13:11] anirudh0, iTunes is so terrible [13:11] astro76, do you think it is worth the trouble. [13:11] edgy, looks to me like something broke it [13:11] KOJV, i meant for you to type that command in a terminal :) [13:11] julien, is there some way to copy etc/samba from the cd? [13:11] ompaul: for you what's the ownership there? [13:11] edgy: root.root [13:11] Anyone knows a good way to recover data on an ext2 partition that was accidentaly used under in Vmware for another OS ?

[13:12] edgy, note that it is a link so look at that which points to it [13:12] pembs: yes from the alternate CD maybe, but it's far more complicated than the command line I have given to you. [13:12] [nrx], ok now i get you. when you upgrade some package will be removed. and i looks like vmware needed some of them. VMWare isnt in the actual package mirror so you need to compile, unless you find something finished on the web [13:12] marcat, or massive time waste :) [13:12] anirudh0, well miro is a system whore for me [13:12] !language | marcat [13:12] marcat: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

[13:15] chimp_: misread your question, sorry, dunno about java console but i'll check, brb [13:15] julien, yes, I did that now, 2 minutes ago after you said,and got the same error messages as before [13:16] marcusklaas: 7.3 i think [13:16] patric_, i'm unsure. can you please tell me how to check? [13:16] I read on a site that linux in last august held only 1.34 % of the market.. Could it really be THAT low? === tdoggette_ is now known as tdoggette [13:16] Thanks julien [13:16] julien, the first part succeeds, the second fails [13:16] Sorry, the machine hung. Please repeat any messages to me. Thanks! [13:16] pembs: what is the error message ? [13:16] edgy, so now that I got back in my chair - you need to tackle the device that it points from [13:16] julien, its quite short so ill send here. Generating /etc/default/samba... [13:16] * Starting Samba daemons [fail] [13:16] invoke-rc.d: initscript samba, action "start" failed. [13:16] dpkg: error processing samba (--configure): [13:16] subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 [13:16] Errors were encountered while processing: [13:16] pembs: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [13:16] samba [13:16] gronne: on the desktop market, yes it's that low [13:16] BonezAU, sure. Can you see the little speaker on your top-panel. Right-Click and go to Preferences [13:16] hi, whenever I plugged a digital camera or memory stick in, it used to automount, but it stopped doing that recently. How do I get it to automount stuff again? [13:16] ok thanks. but has any one had experience with connecting Linux to a windows comp over lan? === KOJ1 is now known as KOJV [13:17] patric_, HDA (Intel Mixer) [13:17] oh sorry it seems it was too big, ill paste next time [13:17] colips0, yes..counter strike works brilliantly [13:17] patric_, sorry, i mean HDA Intel (Alsa Mixer) [13:17] colinma, age of empires also works [13:17] BonezAU, ok =) [13:17] ompaul: the device is already with correct ownership but astro76 told me how to change the symlink and now it's fixed [13:17] Anyone? I know someone wrote to me. Please repeat, thanks! [13:17] colips0, and quake rocks [13:17] pembs: do you have /etc/samba here now ? [13:17] what about games that use punkbuster? i heard afew people not being able to play games online with punkbuster? :/ [13:18] recon69.. ok, I think I see linux and ubuntu users everywhere.. Or maybe we're more keen on showing it... What other markets apart from the desktop would it be then? Laptop? [13:18] colips0, what is punkbuster [13:18] BonezAU, you got ALSA Drivers. That is the best one. hmm... do you have soundproblems in wine or normal? [13:18] astro76: ls -ld /media/sda1/ [13:18] drwxrwx--- 1 root plugdev 28672 2008-04-24 15:28 /media/sda1/ [13:18] chimp: check settings (sun java control panel, there's an "advanced" section on the right which enables you to start the error console) .. is it sun's java that you run btw ? [13:18] julien, well I cann see it on the cd when i boot to the live cd [13:18] dave leadwood [13:18] astro76: why is this plugdev group needed? [13:18] its an anti cheat system used in many online games. ie bf3, cod4 etc [13:18] BF2* [13:18] astro76: this is my windows partition [13:18] gronne: servers [13:18] pembs: if you have /et/samba here, you can now try /etc/init.d/samba restart [13:18] patric_, I don't use wine. The only problem that I have is MP3 playback as far as i know. To be completely honest i'm not much of a multimedia person :) [13:18] pembs: with sudo at front of course [13:18] recon69.. I read another right now: "Linux went from 1.25 percent in May of 2007 to 2.02 percent in March of 2008. That is 61.6 percent increase in market share in nine months. [Put another way,] that is 82 percent annual growth in installed computers." [13:18] colips0, i've only played over lan..ports blocked fot the internet :) [13:19] julien, ok i misunderstood, no i dont have a copy. can i just boot to the cd, copy the folder and then do that? [13:19] recon69: if that's true, something may actually happen [13:19] kayak zambezi [13:19] colips0, otherwise we'd play 24x7 :) [13:19] BonezAU, yeah multimedia isn't that multimedia OS ^^ [13:19] is there a way to install linux over xp or do i need to reformat? [13:19] hi, whenever I plugged a digital camera or memory stick in, it used to automount, but it stopped doing that recently. How do I get it to automount stuff again? [13:19] Hi all, I have a Asus Travelmate 5720 and can only get sound to work with OSS... Can I make it work with ALSA or Pulse? [13:20] patric_, i'm a geek, not a torrent whoring movie downloaded :) I have been using linux since back in the slackware 2.0 days... i don't play games but like the odd bit of background music. It just seems choppy all the time! [13:20] KOJV: You probably have that kernel module available. Try 'sudo modprobe i8k' to load it [13:20] !wubi> colips0 [13:20] !install colips0 [13:20] Factoid install colips0 not found [13:20] selinuxium: checked the PulseAudio wiki ? Has loads of info ... [13:20] !install | colips0 [13:20] colips0: Ubuntu can be installed in a lot of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall. Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [13:21] oops [13:21] BonezAU, wow nice. then you will have a higher linux skill, then i have. I'm just preparing for LPIC-102 certification.... [13:21] gronne: well I think linux has reached a turning point. you dont need to be a total computer geek to use it any more. as more people learn to use it it will spread faster. [13:21] kayak zambezi [13:21] thanks a lot guys! :D [13:21] BonezAU, anyway ... you could configure your driver with asound [13:21] colips0, any specific game you had in mind? [13:21] Thank you foldart, no result from that though. [13:21] BonezAU, no sry.. asoundconf... [13:22] i8kfans still won't run. [13:22] mainly call of duty 4 [13:22] anyone know why "report broken site" and "report web forgery" links in ff3b5 on hardy are disabled? [13:22] patric_, good luck to you! my employment means I have various Microsoft certifications... I am interested in doing some *nix certs that's for sure :) [13:22] KOJV, that modukle is not for the 2.6 kernel [13:22] ompaul, i8kfans? [13:22] patric_, ok, thanks for the tip, i've not heard of that package so I will check it out [13:22] colips0, friends said that it did'nt work for them [13:22] i know it can run on linux, i saw some vids on youtube, my main concern is if it will work over multiplayer [13:22] ~chan #redball [13:22] nkk, NFC, man [13:22] KOJV, the modules you tried to insert [13:22] <_RedderBall_> See you there! [13:22] recon69: sure, Ubuntu is not as easy as windows, but it gets better and better, but i think "we" need the shares, MS cannot keep dominating such important software [13:22] ompaul, okay. [13:22] KOJV, what are you trying to do? [13:22] BonezAU, Well thank you. I'm shure you can solve the rest alone.. Good Luck to you too [13:22] ompaul, run i8kfans. [13:23] how to run audacious on Ubuntu in terminal without exiting audaciuos when i close terminal? [13:23] HI ompaul [13:23] KOJV, what is that? [13:23] Zambezi river [13:23] ompaul, a program to control the system fans without the yellow wire. [13:23] BuFF, you can start a program with & [13:23] gronne: well I would question if ubuntu is harder to use than windows. [13:23] BuFF, then it will run in background . for example : gimp & [13:23] patric_: thanks dude [13:23] BuFF, look at the --headless option [13:24] ok [13:24] recon69, yes it's harder, but then you've got free online like with no other system.... (on ubuntu) [13:24] so could someone say, please? is it possible to boot to the cd, then copy the etc/samba folder? [13:24] free online support* [13:24] pembs, yes of course [13:24] pembs, do you need instructions how? [13:25] zSoilworker: both options are working here ... did you change any add-ons options lately ? [13:25] pembs, it is possible..but it might not do what you hope it will [13:25] patric, im not entirely clear, the right-click copy doenst seem to work [13:25] recon69: Well i certainly think so. I may be bad at learning, but I'm still far better than most, and I can have a major pain in the ass installing software... libraries needed and all the various ways one needs to install software on is really annoying.. If installation gets easier and more one-way, I think we can gain some serious shares [13:25] anirudh, oh ok, is there a way which would woork? [13:26] pemps do you have a client for chatting while you do it? [13:26] KOJV: it's not harder if you consider all the problems windows have with viruses and spyware , a windows install generaly only lasts about a year and then has to be reinstalled to fix all the gunk it collects. and what can be easier that synaptic [13:26] Nobody knows how to make i8kfans work? [13:26] gronne, and most people have already forgotten ./configure :) [13:26] hey, it seems that my Ubuntu installer from my very newly aquired CD doesn't give the option of splitting my partition when I try to install it. I can either go for "Guided - use entire disk" or "Manual" (which doesn't work either)... [13:26] if anyone can help that'd be great [13:26] pembs, sorry...never used samba much [13:26] where to download the base-on pakages of chmsee? [13:26] patric, i could log on to my xp laptop and try using chhat with that [13:26] anirudh, oh ok [13:27] Atomic_Bedroom, run sudo gparted from terminal..after cancelling installer [13:27] pembs, ok do that, i can give you step by step instructions [13:27] is the full kernel source code in /usr/src/linux-header-2.6.... [13:27] anirudho: yeah? :) I've only used linux for 2 months, but I need to use it all the time :( Sure, synaptic is a major step forward, but things not on synaptic can still be hard [13:27] does anyone know a good non-gtk msn protocol client ? [13:27] patric, thanks. ill be five minutes or so. appreciate it [13:27] recon69: well I still consider Ubuntu a lot^H^H^H^H^H harder than Windows... yet, Windows can't come close to free online support like the one Ubuntu has. [13:27] marcat, when you downloaded it yes [13:27] how can i run it without installing? unless you want me to do it with the liveCD? [13:27] im trying to compile the kernel and wondered if i can you it from there, patric_ [13:27] Atomic_Bedroom, exactly [13:27] ok [13:28] yo [13:28] KOJV, that is not what you want as far as I can see - it is build for a previous generation I have tried looking up fans on google what kind of hardware have you got? [13:28] when when i run "apt-get update" it sticks on Waiting Headers [13:28] wont do anything else.. whats the matter [13:28] patric_, i upgraded to 8.04 and there are files in the directory, i dont know if it is the entier thing [13:28] marcat, did you download the sources and set the symlink on /usr/src/linux [13:28] flush, repo down [13:28] gronne: come off it, the stuff you get for free with Ubuntu you would have to pay mega-bucks for to MS. === Blasphemer is now known as rotted [13:28] what is with this openoffice.org update that does not want to install (partial upd (hardy 64 bit).. anyone else got that? [13:28] anirudh0 mkey.. but what do i do [13:28] marcat, first of all you should download all the sources using apt oder synaptic [13:28] flush, ping the site to check..like ping archive.ubuntu.com..and see if any packets return [13:28] gronne: there is a how to out there called how to install anything in ubuntu, google it, it demystifys installations of debs, rpm, tars etc [13:29] marcat, they are named like linux-kernel or something like that [13:29] anirudh0 it does reply [13:29] !pastebin [13:29] 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) [13:29] robg__: I love Ubuntu.. I'm only talking about market shares... gnuskool: ok, I'll check it up.. thanks [13:29] Resynchronise with Debian (r1108), Version 1:2.4.1~ooh680m14-1ubuntu1 [13:29] flush, strange..site's up..try manually browsing to the packages via firefox [13:29] How can I make ubuntu less ram eating? [13:29] gronne: free office program [13:30] /quit [13:30] debian, you could remove some static libraries [13:30] debian: change the policy to not cache stuff in ram, and then have to load it from disk all the time instead. let it use your ram, it's good for you. [13:30] debian, check what progs use more ram..stop using them if possible :) [13:30] debian: have you switched off desktop effects? [13:30] It is using 622+ 143swap [13:30] Ap4ch3: I suspect that it needs to pull in some new dependencies with the upgrade, so you probably need to run an apt-get dist-upgrade [13:30] patric_, http://paste.ubuntu.com/15525/ [13:31] is there something for x3100 intel vga chips? [13:31] marcat, don't you want to compile the newest kernel? [13:31] i cant get my resolution over 1024x768. [13:31] debian, ram is _meant_ to be used..it increases the speed at which executables run...reading from disk all the time wil a)kill the disk eventually b)slow you down quite a bit [13:31] What is user/sbin/console-kit-daemin? [13:31] robg__: openoffice is probably great, I don't need it myself though, but it's crucial in order to get people over from win to linux... Is openoffice fully compatible with office on win? [13:31] patric_, what is the newest? i thought tha was fairly new [13:32] anirudh0: I have at least 3 years warranty on the disk. Or maybe five. [13:32] gronne: file formats may be a problem, but I can print a very decent letter with it. [13:32] i've problems with my headset, i changed the audio settings can anyone help me? thanks [13:32] Pici when i did that i got: The following packages will be REMOVED ... firefox firefox-3.0 firefox-3.0-gnome-support.. few others ..yikes! :P [13:33] I have like twenty: user/sbin/console-kit-daemon... They use some ram, what do they do? [13:33] <_adriaan> robg__,gronne : as long as you don't need exotic stuff, OOO works just fine === pyth0n is now known as PyTh0n === stunatra_ is now known as stunatra [13:33] robg__: maybe not anymore since ms convinced iso to make ooxml iso [13:33] shenlong: are you running ALSA ? [13:33] ok, gparted doesn't seem to want to let me resize my current partition [13:33] robg__, if letters are what you want maybe lyx can help you..i assure you that the letter will look _much_ better [13:33] W: Failed to fetch http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/u/unrar-nonfree/unrar_3.7.8-1_i386.deb [13:33] wtf now [13:33] adriaan: you can even do coloured graphics with it. [13:33] marcat, sry needed to reconnect [13:33] Ap4ch3: Thats not good either... maybe the rest of the packages just arent available for the ooo upgrade yet. [13:33] robg__: so my friend she needs to have office 2003 in order to work with her school-computers, because accordingly 2007 doesn't work... but openoffice wouldn't be able to that at all, right? [13:33] Atomic_Bedroom, please be more specific [13:34] flush: That mirror server is no longer online. [13:34] flush: Please use System>Administration>Software Sources to find a different mirror [13:34] <_adriaan> robg__: was that an ironic remark? Either that or I'm misunderstainding you :) [13:34] well, it's an ntfs at about 225 gig and when I click Resize/Move, the max i can make it is 225 gig and the min i can make it is 225 gig [13:34] flush, your repo might not have finished syncing with the main server [13:34] glitsj16 my settings are all automatic and USB Audio(Alsa mixer) i have a usb headset [13:34] gronne: you have to try it out to see if it meets your needs. [13:34] robg__: her needs, but ok :) I'm googling it now [13:35] adriaan: No I have actually printed coloured letterheads with it. [13:35] gronne: oo.o is mostly compatible with office formats before office 2007 [13:35] patric_, this is just practice, im not concerned with the newest version. I was wondering if that is all the code i needed. the stuff you said above i havent read else where [13:35] gronne: sometimes minor formatting issues [13:35] hmm i seem to have found that the ntfs on the disk is inconsistent [13:35] i'll chkdsk /f on windows :/ [13:35] shenlong: try running "alsamixer" from a terminal and check whether all channels are unmuted .. [13:35] ok astro76, that's interesting... I'll try to read up [13:35] I really like the desktop effects of ubuntu (compiz fusion) :D === puzzle is now known as pzl [13:36] is anyone here using multiple desktops? [13:36] c1|freaky: aren't we all? [13:36] glitsj16 i checked but they are not unmuted :( [13:36] flush, some packages might still be downloading at the repo's end...hence they are visible in sources, but not available for download [13:36] gronne: anything with macros of course is a problem, the latest oo.o will preserve vba macros, and allow their inspection in order to translate to oo.o's scripting language [13:36] <_adriaan> robg__: Ah, like that. Yes, that is obviously all fin. As I said, for normal use, it's definitely just fine. I meant when you expect (msoffice) macro's to work etc you might have a problem [13:36] marcat, ok just set a symlink of the sources you want to use to /usr/src/linux. and then go to /usr/src/linux and start the compiling [13:36] c1|freaky: do you mean virtual desktops or more than one monitor ? [13:37] bonjour [13:37] patric_, what is the reason for that? [13:37] adriaan: you print a coloured letterhead and then run it through the printer again to apply black text. [13:37] no avahi [13:37] j'ai une question que faut t'il faire après le mot de passe sur le boot d'ubuntu [13:37] !fr | franck [13:37] franck: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr [13:37] shenlong: ubuntu hardy comes with PulseAudio system, do you have sound from speakers ? [13:37] astro76: sure, but if you're doing nothing fancy you should be ok? Was hard finding good info on compatibility between openoffice and office, unfortunately [13:38] marcat, huh i dunno it's in the fsh so ervery distributor needs to keep it this way [13:38] o [13:38] the latest ubuntu updates broke my firefox browser [13:38] <_adriaan> Ap4ch3: I had the same problem as you with the last update, although an apt-get dist-upgrade worked fine (no removing firefox or anything) [13:38] patric, should i boot to the live cd? [13:38] gronne: indeed [13:39] cryptovenom, how so? my address bar is gone and i have all back and forward arrows in its palce [13:39] gronne, ms office also runs under winw [13:39] *wine [13:39] marcat, but basicly its for peoble that compile 4 kernels a day. so they can just set the symlink to the newest sources and go to /usr/src and start compiling [13:39] pembs, hey! yes. ahm could you plz write patric_ thanks [13:39] glitsj16 my headset worked perfect then i tried my speakers and changed my audio settings, now my headset doesnt work [13:39] patric_ [13:39] patric_ ok thanks [13:39] marcat: Hello... I have got all 3 programs that video was talking about... Recordmydesktop wouldn't even load... and the other two, istanbul and xvidcap I could not find where my videos go or how to work them? =( [13:40] ndan le boot [13:40] !fr| franck [13:40] SVP [13:40] franck: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement.

Also see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreenCasts. [13:40] shenlong: where did you change your audio settings ? Logic would advise to re-check them from the same place (don't have a lot of info to go on sorry) [13:40] heya [13:41] hey guys, i'm trying to install the driver for my wireless card, but when i run a command which needs to download something from ubnutu.beryl-project.org, it gives me this and sticks on it for about 5-10 minutes then it diaplays an error saying it can't download the file: 89% [Connecting to ubuntu.beryl-project.org (80.77.247.17)] [13:41] hey Assid [13:41] do you know a script that install /var/cache/apt/archives [13:41] @Assid hello [13:41] anyone here got openvz working on ubuntu host [13:41] i cant get the kernel to boot [13:41] hay === administrator is now known as lewisbeechey [13:41] hi [13:41] got intrmfs Assid ?

[13:42] Assid, no the debian program does that [13:43] "This kernel require the following features not present on the CPU: 0:6" [13:43] thats what i get [13:43] Assid, Ubuntu isn't so considered about the hardcore kernel-compiler! [13:43] shenlong: i'm running xubuntu and ubuntustudio, maybe someone with a view on the exact ubuntu menu system can guide you along .. [13:43] i am having a problem with the updating the system...doesnt update [13:43] i'm with ubuntu hardy proposed and an upgrade have removed firefox-3.0 :-/ [13:43] patric_: nevertheless, if a openvz kernel exists.. it should work [13:43] what don't you understand [13:43] thats the whole idea of choosing the openvz kernel [13:44] dimas869, do you got your network driver working? or your proxy seetings set? [13:44] KLes_, perhaps we are finally seeing the coming of RC1 [13:44] hi.. [13:44] patric_: you have it working? [13:44] i have a t41, i see there are issues with the sound card in hardy, would people suggest that i go with edgy or dapper (dapper is what i am chatting with to you on using a imb t41 sound works fine here) [13:44] how do i get firefox back, the latest updates remove my firefox browser [13:44] <^NighT^WalkeR^> hey guys... i have a friend that has just installed linux, and now vista wont boot (it shows in grub loader)... is there any way i can change from grub loader to vista's bootloader? from linux that is... i can't use easyBCD because i can't start vista [13:45] I gave up on flash in linux, now running FF3 in wine and flash works perfectly [13:45] patric_ as you mention now i did change the networking to principal === Idefix_ is now known as BezNalogov [13:45] *that second t41 sould say t22 [13:45] Assid, i could only getting it to work with you using the debian tools, that compile it to a debian file. there's a good tutorial just google for: Kernel Compiling, the ubuntu way. i got it working with that [13:45] patric_ ok im in the live cd [13:45] anirudh0: yes but now, I'm without any firefox :-( === KLes_ is now known as klesssou [13:45] do you know a script that install all programs of /var/cache/apt/archives [13:45] is there _ANY_ way to voice chat through msn network in Ubuntu?

[13:49] patric_, ok i have a load of results [13:49] patric_ when i try to update saids not been able to do the updates and try to recuperate [13:49] BezNalogov: Ubuntu Alternate does on online automatic network configuration. Alternate must be installed with a live internet conection. [13:49] my_haz: Edgy is end of life and is no longer supported. [13:49] Guillaum3, wrond permissions on the said file? [13:49] HII [13:49] LaneLimited, idk what you meanby ubuntu. the file if it is ogg is the recording or the fragments of it. try running recordMydesk from command line and see if it give you any errros [13:49] dimas869, sry kind of overloaded atm [13:49] I know that, but why it doesn't see my network card, it's there [13:49] patric_ got ya [13:49] Pici: how long does dapper have to live?

[13:50] BezNalogov: if hardware is not detected then Ubuntu is not suitable. [13:50] do you know a script that install all programs who are in /var/cache/apt/archives [13:50] Guillaum3, chmod...for more info look up the manual page [13:50] marcat: thats the thing.... recordmydesktop is not in my start menu but it types it's self in the alt+F2 screen... but don't load and is a sleeping process [13:50] anirudh0: LOL! [13:50] my_haz: June 2009 on the desktop, 2011 on the server. [13:50] dave12, sudo dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/* [13:50] my_haz, gaim-vv is no longer supported and it doesn't include msn support :( [13:50] So I should try to install it with the standard install cd?

I use irssi. [13:51] DOOM_NX: wine? [13:51] Is it common for Ubuntu to output a lot of white noise on the audio devices?

[13:52] avippy, maybe mic vol is too loud...therefore noise input to mic is amplified and sent to speakers [13:52] patric_ok [13:52] oh [13:52] patric_ ok [13:52] avippy: i couldn't tell you, but its not normal [13:52] I really need some help on this evolution issue... when i do debug i get (evolution:19759): WARNING **: LDAP authentication failed (0xffffffff) ... the username and password are correct unless it has an old password cached somewhere... can anyone please help? [13:52] pembs, can you see it on the desktop? [13:52] chad: is it a pdf file? [13:52] Well, it has happened for all laptops I have installed Ubuntu on. [13:52] I thought it was just my crappy laptop.

[14:03] branstrom, from your previous post...it said "no pubkey 54A7B3680F240264" [14:04] chad, Evolution saves its data in ~/.evolution and somewhere below ~/.gnome2* [14:04] dimas869: www.medibuntu.org [14:04] robg__ thanks [14:04] anirudh0: ah... so the Release.gpg is a private key?

But I guess even Microsoft has something that produces a kind of log file. [14:08] the issue is not on the server .. its in evolution's ldap client somewhere [14:08] branstrom, o sry, ahm no idea [14:08] just cant seem to find it [14:08] :-( [14:09] patric_: no sweat, thanks for your trying to help ;) [14:09] weird is that it was working fine until yesterday afternoon [14:09] there now seems to be something wrong wth the partitioner [14:09] branstrom: /query memoserv help [14:09] been there for an hour and still at 0% [14:09] !bugz ldap [14:09] Factoid bugz ldap not found [14:09] chad, Maybe the administrators did an upgrade which broke the protocol.

[14:11] pembs, yes my chief is again to late. great! [14:12] patric_ your chef? [14:12] pembs, yes [14:12] patric_, what do you cook? [14:12] y0, my hardy heron updated a couple of days ago and i started getting two copies of Ubuntu generic in my grub boot loader at startup? any one had this problem [14:13] pembs, I'm having no work all day long and this is driving me crazy [14:13] !manners | pembs [14:13] pembs: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [14:13] Could somebody clarify the Ubuntu update policy for me, please? Do applications receive non-security-related upgrades? Eg: will Compiz be upgraded from 0.7.4 to 0.7.6? [14:13] i wanna build a backup server with ubuntu 8.04, but i've some doubts and even reading some articles these doubts still. basically i've 2x500GB WD sata HDD and 1 SGT ATA 250GB HDD to use as backup disk, and i've a small HDD for system and boot files. what should i do? waht kind of file system should i use? [14:13] marcat, am sry how did came to the idea i'm cooking? [14:13] patric_ i bet. ok i can see smaba on my external [14:13] rakan: you need to uninstall the older kernel is all [14:13] rakan: that happens when there is a kernel update. The old kernel is left, just in case the new one doesn't work for you [14:13] Oli```: no [14:13] patric_, chef/chief [14:13] not that i know if [14:14] versions stay equal during the lifetime of the release [14:14] ext3 is the more common, but i read is not very performant or speedy but is stable [14:14] Frogzoo, foldart: how do i delete the old kernel one? [14:14] how to uninstall kernel [14:14] marcat, i was talking about my boss! [14:14] only security fixes if applicable and bugfixes are backported [14:14] byte-slave: the installer usually takes care of formatting. Always ext3. [14:14] and it seems gparted is stuck on "scanning all devices" [14:14] oh [14:14] pembs, allright gongratulations [14:14] is there a console text editor which uses the CUA standard for cut/copy/paste and shift arrow keys for selection? [14:14] mgolisch: oh right, so it'll be available through backports? [14:15] patric_ should i uninstall smaba before doing anything? [14:15] Bollinger, fte might. if not you can always customze its keys. [14:15] rakan: Use synaptic [14:15] this has to be one of the most amazing things i have ever seen before, i just put my imb t22 harddrive into my t41, after reconfing X, the darn thing works, including random other stuff like wifi, there is a good, and her name is ubuntu! [14:15] Dr_willis: thanks I'll give it a try. [14:15] hi if I want to install raid0 ubuntu do I have to make boot partition EXT2 or it can be EXT3 ? [14:15] foldart: what should i look for in synaptic? [14:15] pembs, what do you want to do with your samba server? [14:15] foldart: thx [14:15]  I really need some help on this evolution issue... when i do debug i get (evolution:19759): WARNING **: LDAP authentication failed (0xffffffff) ... the username and password are correct unless it has an old password cached somewhere... can anyone please help? [14:16] now i am wondering if i should do a fresh install of dapper or not, as well as why i waisted so much time moving all my files to another hd [14:16] markotitel: the installer applies the formatting. Ext3 is just a development of Ext2. [14:16] Bollinger, i thought emacs did [14:16] patric_ well i would like to netowkr with my xp laptop, but i was having real problems doing so, which is how i decided to start again and ended up deleting the directory, but i wondered if i should uninstall before trying to move the samba folder to /etc [14:16] rakan: search for linux-image [14:17] Im doing manual partitioning because of radi [14:17] I have done a dist-upgrade this morning on my systems, and it removed firefox. And now I cant install it again [14:17] ompaul, I've got a Dell Inspiron 8200 with new, 2-wire fans (no yellow wire connected) and I need a software to make them run upon boot. [14:17] markotitel: manual partitioning is risky [14:17] I can install raid0 ubuntu and I can boot it just with help of Install CD [14:17] frostburn: I could never get the keys to work both from a console and over a ssh connection. [14:17] when you want to start fresh would i start without anything. and when the whole thing is running adjust your clients and load the data onto [14:17] there is no guided partitioning to setup RAID [14:17] markotitel, yes, there is guided partitioning to setup RAID in the ubuntu installer [14:18] pembs, when you want to start fresh would i start without anything. and when the whole thing is running adjust your clients and load the data onto [14:18] hm [14:18] Bollinger, you might hate me for suggesting this, you may wish to get acquainted with vi [14:18] exit [14:18] markotitel: not sure that ubuntu isos have been designed for RAID. [14:18] KOJV, http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-74578.html [14:18] robg__, they have [14:18] can anyone tell me why i have a blank screen since i upgraded to hardy? [14:18] patric_ ok you lost be a bit there. ill uninstall samba and then try to move the samba folder into the directory and then try to reinstall samba, does that make sense? [14:18] rakan: easiest way, do this "sudo dpkg --purge linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22-14-generic linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22-14-generic linux-image-2.6.22-14-generic" [14:18] Ubuntu alternative CD is [14:18] Swish: then tell us how to do it. [14:19] pembs, not at all [14:19] can anyone point me to info on why the removal of firefox 3 beta 5 today? [14:19] remoteCTRL: blank during boot but login eventually appears? [14:19] pembs, i will publish a samba server howto in some days on my homepage. May you could try it then again [14:19] I'm looking for a good URL, but basically you can do a Manual setup of partition tables, pick the "use as" type as "physical volume for RAID" ... [14:20] rc600: so now that I'm using openbox, how do I get a detached panel menu? [14:20] remoteCTRL: just start it with f4 [14:20] markotitel: if you are installing a server then I suggest you get instructions from server manufacturer. [14:20] foldart: nope blank right after login [14:20] pdlnhr1: RC1 is out isn't it? [14:20] pdlnhr1: Do you have the proposed repositories enabled? [14:20] pembs, smbd configuration is really not easy [14:20] foldart: gnome failsafe is ok and kde is also ok only gnome regular not [14:20] no ubuntu gnome alternative CD because raid support [14:20] once you have more than one volume setup like that, you will see a new menu option in the debian/ubuntu partitioner that allows you to configure md-based RAID [14:20] pdlnhr1: you're not using Intrepid, are you? [14:20] And it finishes smoothly [14:20] patric_ ok thanks but i still need to repair the directroy with the etc/smamba fgile we just copied [14:20] zSoilworker: what you mean by that i dont understand? [14:20] i don't know how to answer any of those questions [14:21] remoteCTRL: hm, perhaps reconfigure X [14:21] then if you setup that md-based RAID for use as LVM, you'll get ANOTHER new menu item which will allow you to configure LVM :) [14:21] remoteCTRL: start it in safe graphics mode [14:21] Im on it now, but problem is I get Grub ERROR 2 when it tries to boot, then I boot CD UBUNTU altyernative and choose Boot From First HardDisk === ka2u is now known as ka2zzzz [14:21] branstrom: and i know RC1 isn't out yet but they released it with firefox 3 included... pretty crazy to remove it after the fact [14:21] then I use it noramlly [14:21] isn't 8.04 suppose to be LTS? [14:21] pdlnhr1: it is [14:21] foldart: i have purged x and gnome and even deleted my usersa nd their home directories, after that same effect... [14:21] branstrom, pdlnhr1 firefox2 is still in the repo, install it using synaptec [14:21] pembs, when you just want to move it. do cp -r /etc/samba /tmp;mv /media/disc/samba /etc/ [14:21] pdlnhr1: yes, well 8.04.1 [14:21] markotitel, /boot partition must be ext2 and should be RAID1 no LVM [14:22] pdlnhr1: If you have the proposed repositories enabled in System>Administration>Software Sources then this is normal. [14:22] zSoilworker: but then i dont have much of a graphics accel, do i? [14:22] and RAID should be statically built into the kernel (which it is) [14:22] How do I check my computer for 3D aceleration? [14:22] pdlnhr1: Proposed are potentially buggy and broken. [14:22] DVD works if I boot 2.6.24.12 but not in the current [14:22] remoteCTRL: then I'm stumped sorry [14:22] Yop yop konrad147 ^^ [14:22] frostburn: I know enough vim to know that I will never be able to tolerate it, I've used CUA for the best part of 20 years. and going back to a modal editor with so many key strokes for simple cut and paste won't wash. (sorry) [14:22] KOJV, gkrellm-i8k - Dell Inspiron and Latitude module for GKrellM2 (i8krellm) i8kutils - utilities for Dell Inspiron and Latitude laptops sensors-applet - Display readings from hardware sensors in your Gnome panel << install these you don't need to compile anything [14:22] remoteCTRL: It's just to see if that's the problem.

[14:57] abuyusuf: taking a look [14:57] Steve-cal: find / -iname _=Demonoid.com=_-The_Tipping_Point_By_Maclom_Gladwell_UNABRIDGED_1789044.435.torrent [14:57] QUILz: I think the channel is set by the hub, not the card [14:57] rsk: thanks .. Waiting .. [14:57] QUILz: That's a function of your router--your router chooses the channel, not your card. [14:57] well i need to hell my terminal where to look for a connection [14:57] hell = tell ;) [14:57] tell it /dev/ttyUSB0 [14:57] Steve-cal: and that produced nothing [14:57] what would be the opposite of this command: $ sudo apt-get autoremove --purge compiz* libcompiz* libdeco* emerald* libemerald* [14:58] im looking to reinstall all of those now [14:58] talcite2: what is the output of "glxinfo" ?

And I need to change the channel because there are about 4 APs around here... [14:58] jbroome, ok thanks :) [14:58] i deleted a smaba directory, i have copied one from my cd to an external drive, but i cant move it to /etc, anyone able to help please? [14:59] PdUb101: it won't be the complete reverse - you still lose local customisations.. [14:59] jayde_drag0n: Please copy and paste exactly, try this: [14:59] find / -iname "*1789044*" -print [14:59] rsk: what is it called? [14:59] QUILz: my guess is the channel you are picking is just not working. Try some others, see if that works. [14:59] Frogzoo, which is fine, im running into thte problem of compiz not loading when i start windows up so im hoping if i do a fresh install it might solve my problem [14:59] Frogzoo, pfft windows, i mean ubuntu [15:00] Ah OK, I'll try that later since it seems to be working fine now. Thanks [15:00] albech: 'ls -l /dev/ttyUSB0' and see what the group is. Then use 'groups' to see if you're in it. [15:00] what are X library package is called? [15:00] s/are/is [15:00] rsk: replied [15:01] foldart: the file doesnt exists.. 2 sec let me pastebin the dmesg rq [15:01] Kartagis: xorg [15:01] i deleted a smaba directory, i have copied one from my cd to an external drive, but i cant move it to /etc, anyone able to help please? [15:01] !xlibs [15:01] When a program or configure script asks for "X includes", you should probably install the following package: xorg-dev [15:01] PdUb101: usual reason compiz fails is you're not running the right driver [15:01] Steve-cal: i think i found the problem.. but it still won't resolve.. its located on an exterior hard drive in the folder called trash-1000 but if i delete it there.. it just reappears... i can move it OUT of that folder.. and my trash clears up.. but if i move it to the trash from somewhere else.. it just goes back to trash-1000 and repeats [15:01] If I create an empty package with a certain name (like udev), can I stop apt-get from handling or complaining about that dependancy? [15:02] Can someone please help me get i8kfans running? It's a Debian project that I try to run on Xubuntu. Dell Inspiron 8200 with new, 2-wire fans (no yellow wire to control them). I need i8kfans to make the fans run. Works fine in Windows. Please help! [15:02] hello everyone [15:02] is there a way to delete the trash from the cli? [15:02] abuyusuf: pong [15:02] Steve-cal: I got it.. finally.. i had to cut it from trash-1000.. move it to the main space of the HD.. then move it to my main home directory.. delete it there... aaaannnd then it finally deletes [15:03] foldart: http://pastebin.ca/1033100 [15:03] nice name. lol [15:03] jayde_drag0n: Sounds like you may need to exorcise your HD. What a crazy problem, but glad you finally were able to delete that file. :) [15:03] Tobias78: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-216652.html [15:03] Steve-cal: LOL thanks.. apparantly just talking to you made me figure it out.. tech support magic :-D [15:04] rsk: OK, will reboot and come again [15:04] hey everyone. i need some help with intel's x3100 video card [15:04] is there a way to delete the trash from the command line? [15:04] jayde_drag0n: I guess so, and in the future you should mention that you have more than one HD... that is quite relevant. :) [15:04] i deleted a samba directory, i have copied one from my cd to an external drive, but i cant move it to /etc, anyone able to help please? [15:05] Steve-cal: i do have a dumb question for you tho... i came from windows and was quite proficient.. i can navigate in terminal pretty well.... BUT i don't know the command to go BACK a directory... just typing cd or cd.. takes me all the way back to the home directory and i have to start over [15:05] sparkyy: it'll be under ~/.trash in gnome.. [15:05] Thanks danbhfive, I'm gonna upgrade BIOS... [15:05] sparkyy: In Hardy? [15:05] i've got xchat version 0.11 and it doesnt show users on the right, how to turn it on? [15:05] i'm trying to run a game in a separate x session, but apparently hardware acceleration doesn't work when i do that [15:05] jayde_drag0n: try cd. [15:05] jayde_drag0n: No problem, I know how you feel. :) The command to go up one directory is "cd .." note the space. [15:05] yeah 8.04 [15:05] the game runs fine in the main x window [15:05] jayde_drag0n: cd - [15:05] jayde_drag0n: oh, listen to steve, i dont know crap [15:06] sparkyy: Trash is in ~/.local/share/Trash now [15:06] sparkyy: rm ~/.local/share/Trash/files/* [15:06] well I'm stumped [15:06] Frogzoo: fyi, Trash is in ~/.local/share/Trash in Hardy [15:06] ohhh its in .local I see [15:06] what kind of error would affect GDM and also xorg? [15:06] jayde_drag0n: cd - not what you are looking for, but you sill still find it useful [15:06] Pici: ah, thx [15:06] albech: and despite that there's no /dev/ttyUSB0 ? [15:06] Frogzoo, it works great, and im pretty sure i have the right driver, how would i go about checking that?? [15:06] AH HA... the space did it!! [15:06] finek: View > User List [15:06] foldart: nope [15:06] wooo [15:06] If I remember correctly... [15:07] Steve-cal: thank you!!! [15:07] albech: hrm, that's a bit wierd.

[15:14] Pici, looks to be a bug. I downloaded gparted and then deleted the iso. And the trash would NOT empty. Perhaps ubuntu really liked it. =P [15:14] robg__: But you just skipped verifying the MD5 checksums right? That's alot different than checking them and finding they are actually different. [15:14] robg__-> its not the contamination during download was the intent, its the malicious replacement of the files thats in the repository in case someone breaks into it [15:14] Jaikkuli: probably only if you write your own [15:14] Jaikkuli, are you using any compositing on your desktop ? [15:15] amenado: you have to be a genius to perform that malicious replacement. You also need a motive. [15:15] could someone look over this for me, not sure what im looking for, i was told to check my glxinfo and maek sure the grep direct says yes, but i dont' see grep anywhere http://paste.ubuntu.com/15541/ [15:15] Does it save any energy when the pc puts the display to sleep, while I dont really have a display?

[15:16] Jaikkuli, run blender on the command line and paste the message it dumps when the crash happens [15:16] robg__: On direct downloads the iso often gets corrupted actually. On torrent/jigdoo there is built in ckecksum checking of each fragment so less times is this method producing corrupt images. But it does happen. [15:16] Tobias78, kernel panic ? maybe ? [15:16]  der|kunstler it just says segmentation fault [15:16]  der|kunstler it happens pretty much whenever i add geometry into a scene [15:17]  der|kunstler including loading exsisting scenes [15:17] Jaikkuli, ok, 64-bit or 32-bit ? [15:17]  der|kunstler 64bit [15:17] genii: I have the impression that a slow download actually produces better files.

[15:17] Andycasss: On the fourth line down on that pastebin file, it says "direct rendering: Yes" so I assume that's what you want.

I'm not sure of the best one, but here is a good one to get started: http://www.linuxcommand.org/ [15:24] u2, ubuntuguide.org [15:24]  der|kunstler i disagree.. i could successfully run it without the prop drivers [15:24] PdUb101: firefox 3 [15:24] My server upgrade from gutsy to hardy always fails.. and always when upgrading NFS in some way?

I don't need a dedicated server, it can be virtual but I need root and the static ip. [15:32] genii: what is the difference from runlevel 2? [15:32] Jaikkuli, what's the name of the file you downloaded ? [15:32] .run [15:32] fde: hmm... i still don't quite understand. compiz is responsible for the desktop effects, right? [15:32] sektor666: yes [15:33] fde: well it's not desktop effects that i need in the separate x session. it's hardware acceleration for a game [15:33] fda: a game that runs fine in the main window [15:33] gnuskool, THANK YOU SO MUCH! That thread totally solved my problem! The program is now running. :) [15:33] sebrock: In debian and ubuntu runlevels 2,3,4, and 5 are identical.

[15:34] fde: but the game runs at 15fps in the main window and at 1 fps in the separate session [15:34] español [15:35] !es | arcadio [15:35] arcadio: Aquí solamente hablamos inglés.

I'll take a look [15:35] <_0tt0v0nc4t_> Is it posible to get vidalia/tor working with firefox 3? [15:35] arcadio, hola [15:35] genii, I know. But runlevel one is basically just a kernel and a shell running? No other programs? [15:35] Tobias78: To run it on startup you can use System > Admin/Prefs > Sessions (assuming you don't need to run it as root--do you?) [15:36] fde: i thought it might be xorg.conf-related, but then the main x session would be affected too, right? [15:36] sektor666: correct... I've never attempted to run multiple xsessions though, so I'm not sure if that's normal or what... [15:36] der|kunstler: ati-driver-installer-8-5-x86.x86_64 [15:36] Jaikkuli, thanks, gimme a sec [15:37] fde: from what i managed to establish, the script i use to start the game in a separate x session works for users with ati and nvidia cards. so it might be intel-related too [15:37] Tobias78: And I've not tried, it but "alltray" claims to dock any application to the system tray. You could try that. [15:37] sebrock: runlevel 1 is single user mode. As opposed to multiple-user mode. So as the system is updating in this mode, less chance of exploit or data corruption from stopped/restarted services which people are using when the update is applied. [15:37] Jaikkuli, try this: https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/linux_8.36.5-inst.html [15:37] any idea how I get an Outlook .msg file to open in Ubuntu ? [15:38] sektor666: perhaps... would appear support for that card isn't particularly good if Compiz guys aren't allowing it to be used.

[15:38] Using 8.04, Is there a way to obtain the kernel source that was used to build the first kernel without having to recompile the kernel to get the /include/version.h ? [15:38] der|kunstler: nice one. thanks. [15:38] fde: since i'm new to linux, i don't even know which part of x's configuration is responsible for enabling/disabling acceleration, so i'm not even sure where to start diagnosing the problem [15:38] love this channel ...

[15:41] djin1: you want the kernel source for your kernel? [15:42] uhhh maybe i could. but i'm a total linux noob. so how do i do that? [15:42] I know how to obtain the source, but isn't there an option to get the source that was used for installation so I don't have to recompile the kernel?

[15:42] jabba: I believe you have to run "grub-install /dev/sda" and not sda7, but make sure you use that command while you are in the OS on sda7; that will make the MBR point to sda7.

[15:44] sektor666: dpkg-reconfigure [15:44] level09: download it, "chmod +x filename" then "./filename" [15:44] alright, thanks. i'll try to reconfigure and restart x and then see what happens [15:45] Oli```: thanks !! :) [15:45] Camorama reports it 'Could not connect to video device (/dev/video0) but webam works in aMSN and the webcam light flashes once as i start camorama up. any ideas? [15:45] level09: alternatively, right click it in nautilus, head to permissions and click allow execute. then double click it, or right click it and click "Open" [15:45] jabba: And what's in sda7 right now? Is it a clean formatted partition or do you have an OS installed? [15:45] how can i mount a iso image from net to install ubuntu [15:45] ichat: .asoundrc is not needed, but should be in your home directory, without /etc/asoundconf it's no wonder you can't hear a thing ;) [15:45] i think my cd drive has errors [15:46] can i moint it to /media/cdrom0? [15:46] When i start ubuntu appears in my desktop the BlankDisk icon, but in my drive there isn't any medium, how i can solve this problem?

[15:47] glitsj16: My sound works fine without an .asoundrc, that file is really only need for special ALSA sound options if I understand it correctly. [15:47] hmmm that's funny... [15:47] glitssj16: i get this when i execute it: http://www.pastebin.biz/messages/show/id/683/title/Compiz_Check [15:47] Hi gues! Could you tell me, what irc-servers has link with "freenode"? [15:47] fde , the eject function don't run.... [15:47] now the "Device" section in my xorg.conf doesn't say anything about intel [15:47] der|kunstler: I need specific perl modules... using CPAN any idea how I just search and install these without compiling... like apt-get ? [15:47] is there any utility to execute windows "exe" files in case I needed one ? [15:47] I've got a mouse which didn't came with any driver CD, and Ubuntu doesn't recognise it... but Windows does [15:47] it just says Identifier "Configured Video Device" [15:47] Steve-cal: yes indeed, ichat is also missing /etc/asound.conf and i thought that was necessary .. [15:47] a Wireless mouse [15:47] ianliu_88: Ubuntu isn't Windows... and I'm not sure what the usefulness is of the .sys file in wine either... generally you just want .dll files.

[15:48] hey guys [15:48] level09: you can use wine, but it will not work with all applications... [15:48] fde: Do you know any generic driver for wireless mouse? [15:48] jabba: So is grub installed on sda7 right now, but you just don't have the MBR pointing to that partition yet? What is handling your boot-up right now? [15:48] is there a reason that my xserver is recieving multiple client connections at a time? [15:48] or is that standard behavior? [15:48] how would i be able to configure sutch a file .. [15:49] fde i have to apen a terminal and make mount /dev/hdc, at this point the shell tell me that there isn't any medium and the icon will disappear from desktop [15:49] Steve-cal: sweet, it just booted [15:49] i am know that i am on freenode, but i need to enter here from another server to change my ip =) [15:49] ianliu_88: Nope... no experience in that area at all. I'd start in System > Preferences > Bluetooth though. [15:49] -to open - [15:49] i was wrong about using sda7, it's supposed to be sda [15:49] ichat: just a moment, i'll look up some bookmarks [15:49] i guess that makes sense, my fault :/ [15:49] thanks danners [15:49] glitssj16: i get this when i execute it: http://www.pastebin.biz/messages/show/id/683/title/Compiz_Check [15:49] jabba: OK, glad it's working for you anyway. :) [15:49] Steve-cal: mebbe i'll send in a docpatch. [15:50] I started X with a -audit 9 option, and it basically gives says client * connected and client * disconnected, where * is an integer between 7-30 [15:50] fde: I don't think it is bluetooth.. on the box its written Digital Transmition via radio [15:50] lewisbeechey: ok, i'll check that and report back here [15:50] any ideas? [15:50] ianliu_88: it'll be bluetooth... I'm 90% sure. [15:50] 98% [15:50] or 99.9%? [15:50] fde: hmm, let me try [15:51] i hope grub works for xfs [15:51] never tried xfs [15:51] alteregox: umm, it doesn't. [15:51] Steve-cal: do you know what the splash line i supposed to have? [15:51] could someone do a favour for me please? [15:51] i have the appropriate splash on my desktop, but not on this machjine because i just put it together. [15:51] alteregox: make an ext2 /boot [15:51] I need to know if this happens on other people's computers as well [15:51] hmm [15:52] and can i install lilo after [15:52] alteregox: only needs to be like 200mb or so for plenty of room [15:52] jabba: You mean you want to set grub to have a splash screen, or are you setting options for Hardy in the menu.lst? [15:52] i already installed ubuntu [15:52] Anyone know how to put i8k in the systray? [15:52] ichat: here's a link to the ALSA wiki http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/Main_Page [15:52] from terminal, type startx -- -audit 9 and see if it says X: client * connected/disconnected [15:52] Steve-cal: i want grub to have the splash machine my other hardy machines do. [15:52] at 98% and i don't want to begin from scratch [15:52] er, splash screen not machine [15:52] too early [15:52] your xserver has to be killed first of course [15:52] so can i apt-get install lilo ? [15:52] and configure the boot loader? [15:53] there's a fix for that compiz/workspace switcher bug? [15:53] is there any way to delay a program startup in gnome under sessions? [15:53] alteregox: sure... but I don't think lilo supports xfs for booting either. [15:53] ichat: If you need any help with ALSA, the folks in #ALSA are sometimes quite helpful. They helped me sort out some problems. [15:53] im lookin to set up my computers for college, and i have a desktop and a laptop, i would like to be able to access the files on the desktop from the laptop regardless of where i am, anyone have any ideas? [15:53] will00: that's hard to do [15:53] will00: but hosting is cheap [15:53] alteregox: I guess try it, see if it works... but I'm fairly sure it won't... [15:53] fde: ok so i try to resize the swap to 200mb [15:53] lewisbeechey: just a moment please, looking into it .. [15:53] then i install grub to it? [15:53] jabba, i know that, could i use the main computer as a server or something? [15:54] alteregox: not swap... you want that to be about 2 gigs [15:54] will00: Will the desktop be stationary? [15:54] will00: well yes, but you won't be able to get to it "everywhere" [15:54] 1.8 or 2gb who cares [15:54] Hi, sound is owrking like 1/3 of the times weith my intel HDA soundcard [15:54] lynet, yes [15:54] glitssj16: thank you === roch^ is now known as Beefeater [15:54] anyone know how I could fix this? [15:54] i resize swap to 1.8GB and leave 200mb for grub [15:54] ill try out the wikki, - at least now i know its likely to be a (miss / un configured alsa problem ... [15:54] is there any sites that offer paid linux services ? [15:54] jabba: So let me make sure I understand--you want a background image (splash) in your Grub boot-up menu? [15:54] alteregox: heh... that seems fine... use gparted... the livecd has it in system > administration > partition manager [15:54] Steve-cal: yeah, i think the install normally places it somewhere grub can see it, but since i configured grub manually myself, it doesn't have the splash screen on this new machine. [15:55] alteregox: uhh... editor... [15:55] haven't set up triple-booting manually before. [15:55] will00: You could set up a VPN thingie. Exactly how depends a bit on how the desktop is connected to the net etc. [15:55] E: Couldn't find package gstreamer [15:55] ok, then i have to modify grub? [15:55] where is it? === ichat is now known as ichat_dinner [15:55] lynet, is there an easy way to do that? [15:56] or would it be easier to do an ftp type thing [15:56] crap there is no advise in the setup that i have to use a ext2/3 partition for grub using xfs [15:56] very awfull [15:56] question: I have a kubuntu*alternate*.iso, with all the debs on it. Can I somehow easily set up my own debian mirror to be used during the installation process? (I'm pxebooting, fwiw) [15:56] jabba: Do you have any splash images in the /boot/grub directory? It is usually a folder called "splashimages" or similar. The files need to be .xpm.gz files. [15:56] Steve-cal: lemme check. [15:56] will00: Ftp? You kid, right? That would make the ftp server be accessible from the Internet, and ftp username/password is sent in the clear. Not good. [15:56] Hi, sound is working like 1/3 of the times with my intel HDA soundcard. I already had this issue in ubuntu 8.04 and someone gave me commands to restart alsa and pulseaudio at every boot and after it was working, I unfortunately lost them. ANyone could help me? [15:57] Steve-cal: no, i don't have anything named *xpm* [15:57] lewisbeechey: could you pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf as well please ? Looks like you might need a different driver .. [15:57] hi, inittab is driving me craze, it just won't respawn anything [15:57] alteregox: yes... hda is (hd0) ... hda1 is (hd0,0) ... work from that... and remove the /boot part from /boot/grub/menu.lst ... so it says something like /vmlinuz-blah whatever whatever rather than /boot/vmlinux-blah whatever whatever ... same for initrd line [15:57] will do [15:57] alteregox: it's actually sda now... meh... [15:58] alteregox: think you understand though? [15:58] yeah [15:58] lynet, ok so vpn is the way to go, is there an easy way to set that up? (i also would like my friends to be able to access this stuff so they can view the videos we made and such) [15:58] jabba: Well first you need to get a splash image you want to use--in the repos there's a grub splash images package for some, or you can make your own, or download one from the web. But you need a image first. :) [15:58] grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/xfs /dev/sda1 [15:58] will00: To repeat myself: Exactly how depends a bit on how the desktop is connected to the net etc. [15:58] Steve-cal: but what about the default splash? [15:59] alteregox: also, when you create the new /boot ... you have to edit /etc/fstab and move the file over... [15:59] Steve-cal: this is a machine i'm setting up for a user. all mine have the default splash from hardy [15:59] but i installed those automatically (no windows...) [15:59] files* [15:59] glitssj16: http://www.pastebin.biz/messages/show/id/684/title/xorg_conf [15:59] glitssj16: http://www.pastebin.biz/messages/show/id/684/title/xorg_conf [15:59] jonaskoelker: Loopmount the iso on the server, someplace accessibly to apache2. In your preseed file declare the server as repository, using the local url. [15:59] lewisbeechey: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [15:59] sorry about that [15:59] Camorama reports it 'Could not connect to video device (/dev/video0) but webam works in aMSN and the webcam light flashes once as i start camorama up. any ideas? [16:00] alteregox: look at 'ls -l /dev/dist/by-uuid' after using gparted to know what to fill in there [16:00] lewisbeechey: no problem, in the mean time you could look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=567108, the card does work for people ... [16:00] ok [16:00] jabba: You must be confusing the Ubuntu splash startup screen with having a background image in the Grub menu. Because I don't believe Grub comes with a default "splash image" that I'm aware of. [16:00] alteregox: there being /etc/fstab [16:01] Steve-cal: hm, ok... so what's the display when it boots up and says "ubuntu" and has the little progress bar? [16:01] will00: The short of it is: Install a VPN server on either the desktop pc or the firewall/gateway to the Internet. Install VPN clients on PCs that want to access the server. [16:01] Steve-cal: problem is, my user is scared of the console :) better he think that it's just a gui :) [16:01] jabba: That's the Ubuntu splash startup screen. :) [16:02] Is it correct that the boot partition does not need to be very large? 3 GB or less? [16:02] usplash [16:02] how do I boot a ubuntu server into runlevel 1? [16:02] lat a 500Meg is adequate [16:02] jabba: So you are not getting the Ubuntu splash right now, i.e. the screen that says "Ubuntu" with the logo and progress bar? [16:02] lat: /boot can be about 200 mb or so... provided / and /usr are well sized. [16:02] sebrock-> at boot, you type single [16:02] how do i troubleshoot init not wanting to spawn and respawn processes from my inittab? this is the only line in it: IAX:2345:respawn:/usr/bin/iaxmodem ttyIAX [16:02] Steve-cal: correct [16:02] lat: are you talking about a boot partition that will be used just for /boot ? [16:02] lat: /boot is pretty much just kernel and drivers, 3GB is way overkill. [16:02] it does run when called from the command line [16:02] sebrock-> at boot, rather on the grub menu .. you type single [16:03] Tobias78: for systray i use alltray app on http://alltray.sourceforge.net/ [16:03] genii: cool; I have myhost.net/loop/pool/main/v/vim/vim*.deb, what do I enter for mirror information? myhost.net/loop? [16:03] i am running linux with limited gfx drivers.. while instaling new ones.. problem is.. the window is so big.. i cannot reach down to click next.. any ideas? [16:03] lat: my /boot with 2 kernels and all other applicable files is 36mb right now occupied. [16:03] lat: 400 MB for some extra space for all the kernel updates should be enough [16:03] the window is so big because the resolution is so shitty.. 800x600.. and i cannot seem to increase it [16:03] i install kernel .25 afterward [16:03] Ok, I was confusing boot and root. [16:04] rdlang-> man inittab; but i believe once is the word you wish to put there..its been a long while since i have to use that [16:04] alteregox: unless you're going to do that manually, doesn't exist [16:04] yeah manualy [16:04] How big should the swap partition be? [16:04] lat: / can be fairly small too... but only if you seperate out /var and /usr [16:04] 2.5x mem or something [16:04] jabba: OK, just make sure you have the "splash" option in the kernel line of your /boot/grub/menu.lst file for the hardy partition. It should look something like: [16:04] kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-16-generic root=UUID=1506ac9d-8368-407f-b0f2-6ff81bad959f ro quiet splash [16:04] lat: 2gb is a good size [16:04] i tried man and google exstensivly, but found no solution [16:05] lat: 1.1 x memory size, i would say === Eric78 is now known as KOJV [16:05] you can use swap from graphics memory [16:05] !init | rdlang are you sure your syntax is correct? [16:05] rdlang are you sure your syntax is correct?: 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 [16:05] lat the suggested twice the ram size is very good...and people may say it is too much, but you may want to use part of that swap as temp file system...so 2x is very good [16:05] someone has a patch done to do that [16:05] but,...thats just freaky [16:06] when I try to upgrade to 8.04 from the cdrom, with the cdromupgrade, I get this error "error authenticating some packages" and then a huge list of packages [16:06] lat: 2 x your ram is too much unless you have specific requirments [16:06] lewisbeechey: sorry to get you to paste all the time :) .. but could you bring up /var/log/Xorg.0.log as well ? your missing a secion i think in your xorg.conf , with the log i could try to trace it .. [16:06] lat: for swap size, if you intend to use the hibernate feature you will need a swap partition as big as your RAM, otherwise about ½ or ¾ of your RAM size should be fine I think [16:06] i run postresql [16:06] lat: that is a rule from back when 128mb of ram was common :/ === hagabaka` is now known as hagabaka [16:07] glitssj16: http://www.pastebin.biz/messages/show/id/685/title/Xorg_0_log [16:07] damn, just got a call, have to run, thnx for the help... bye [16:07] Ok, you guys have saved me a lot of drive space. I had some very wrong misconceptions. Thanks! [16:08] Steve-cal: yeah the options are quiet splash [16:08] hm. [16:08] lewisbeechey: .. there's actually quite a few things missing in your xorg [16:08] lat: keep in mind, if you use ext2/3 you can resize later... it's easier to grow than shrink :) [16:08] i think it would be faster to compress the swap drive somehow using RLE [16:08] How do I remove an environment variable in bash? [16:09] Anyone running debian on HP 380's? or know if they support disk checking incase the raid fails? [16:09] glitssj16: how do i go about fixing it? [16:09] those cpus are not affected at all to compress/decompress 300MB/s [16:09] amenado, you're sure that works? I've heard about ubuntu always booting into runlevel 2 anyways? [16:09] have an PCI wireless network card running with hardy and it works out of the box? please tell me the brand and device number ! [16:09] fde, thanks. I'll remember that. [16:09] Anyone good with sound troubleshooting here? (intel hda) [16:09] jabba: ...and even with those options you still don't get the Ubuntu startup screen? [16:09] theneb: Umm, avoid software RAID... if you use hardware RAID, the RAID controller handles that. [16:10] Steve-cal: negative :/ [16:10] sebrock-> what to get into init level 1? you go to single user mode, if you were referring to the default init level it boots into, it is level 2-5 [16:10] bernier: be specific about your problem and people are more likely to respond :P [16:10] theneb: hardware RAID, Linux sees it as one regular drive. [16:10] fde: why should software raid be avoided? [16:10] Hi, sound is working like 1/3 of the times with my intel HDA soundcard. I already had this issue in ubuntu 8.04 and someone gave me commands to restart alsa and pulseaudio at every boot and after it was working, I unfortunately lost them. ANyone could help me? [16:10] where do i find backported ati drivers for hardy? [16:10] here [16:10] lewisbeechey: i'm not exactly familiar with ati cards, but try installing a package called envyNG, that checks for recent updates for your card and can help you set it up properly [16:10] jabba: Cuz it's fundamentally flawed? [16:10] software raid 0/1 is faster then hardware raid [16:10] fde: how so? i usually use software raid and then lvm on top of that [16:10] OUt of interest, how does swap space get dealt with when using hibernate/suspend? If I had 1gb of ram in use and had 1gb of swap space of which 512Mb was in use, if I wanted to hibernate/suspend, would I be able to? by my maths, i'd be using 1.5gb of memory (both physical and swap) but would only have a total of 1gb of swap space, so presumably, to be safe I'd need 2gb of swap in that case [16:10] for a r600 i would need latest radeon [16:11] hello? [16:11] bernier: "/etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart" should restart alsa, and to run pulseaudio just type "pulseaudio" [16:11] lewisbeechey: to be more precise: "apt-get install envyng-gtk" [16:11] jabba: Do you have grub installed on any other partitions? [16:11] jabba: It just is... too prone to issues etc... hardware raid controllers have one task and one task only. [16:11] Steve-cal: other partitions? i just use sda [16:11] Now, I'm in the middle of installing, and I've made the boot and root partitions way too big. Can I just reboot and start over? Or do I need to reformat the drives first (I'm using software RAID 1)? [16:12] lat: sure [16:12] fde: i'm not sure it's especially relevant, but when i went through the RHCE course a year or two back, we were instructed to use hardware raid, and lvm on top of that. rhat at least is pretty confident in it. [16:12] lat: it'll let you reformat - actually it will be default - when you create a new partition. [16:12] how can I use apt-get to install the flash plugin? [16:12] or does it have to be manually installed? [16:12] please, i need help with some trouble [16:12] jabba: No I mean your Hardy install is on sda7, right? So what about sda1, sda2, .... What are on those partitions? [16:13] unr3al, apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [16:13] nonfree? [16:13] jabba: of course they are... they spent 250 million acquiring the technology.... the sistina purchase. [16:13] is there a way to resize a partition torwards it's beginning? [16:13] amenado, yes well I have just read that Ubuntu by default always boots into init 2 regardless of any user input [16:13] how are the atheros drivers working in hardy? [16:13] fde: well, i've just never had it fail on me and i've been using it since 2004, and had it deployed on 30,000 machines at aol [16:13] any one using them right now? [16:13] enable it [16:13] like in ... adding more sectors before it, instead of after it? [16:13] seemed pretty stable to me. [16:13] ubuntu doesn't recognize my board [16:13] atheros works with those proprietary stuff [16:13] Lacrymology: You can use gparted for resizing partitions. [16:14] Marco what board? === pyth0n is now known as PyTh0n [16:14] <[deXter]> Steve-cal, Do you know if gparted can convert primary partitions to logical? [16:14] Steve-cal: i have sda6 = vista, sda5 = xp, sda7 = hardy, sda8 = swap. [16:14] unr3a1: nonfree means the adobe flash, it's not open sourced (apart from that it works) [16:14] is an AsRock [16:14] jabba: hardware raid + lvm? that is compliant with what I suggested :/ [16:14] Marco : type ? [16:14] oh ok [16:14] 775i65g [16:14] Marco : or even better what happens when you try? [16:14] [deXter]: I don't think it can. I remember having to do some weird partition shuffling when I wanted to do that. [16:15] Steve-cal: but where's the l337ness in that? =P [16:15] what plugin does youtube use? [16:15] <[deXter]> :( [16:15] [deXter]: Good question, I'm not sure. You'll have to check the documentation. [16:15] fde: oh, i guess i misunderstood. i usually take the hard disks i want to lvm, use sw raid to tie them together and lvm to slice them up into dynamic partitions (in case, say, /usr runs out of space) [16:15] youtube = flash [16:15] unr3a1: sudo aptitude install flashplugin-nonfree [16:15] the sounds don't function [16:15] hmm [16:15] cause I installed the flash plugin, and youtube is still not working [16:15] jabba: What about sda1, sda2, sda3 and sda4? [16:15] jabba: I just use resize2fs and avoid complexity. [16:15] Marco : i see , thats an onboard sound , right? [16:15] i try download the drivers from the website but i can't find it [16:15] yes [16:16] Steve-cal: that's a good question. i don't know. [16:16] unr3a1: check this, it, install flash player 10 beta and it should work http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4928900 [16:16] For what it is worth, phony RAID has caused me a lot of grief. I have Ghost backups, but my motherboard went out, and Ghost can not restore to the new hardware. And I was very diligent to make backups. I still have them, but they are useless. [16:16] Would it be really lazy of me to ask how to stop my Ubuntu installation from apparently defaulting to lilo every time I upgrade the kernel? [16:16] sda2 is lba [16:16] Marco , do you know what chip set the soundcard is? [16:16] jabba: Do a "sudo fdisk -l" and please let me know the output. [16:16] the rest are logical [16:16] jabba: safe operations are partition delete and partition downsize when the partition has a large empty space. [16:16] i don't remember [16:17] Marco : when you run lspci on the gnome terminal you get to see , or run slhw, then it lists all your hardware [16:17] help.. i am installing new drivers for my video card.. but when i try it says error vcdk is missing. [16:17] robg__: i usually just leave a gig or four unallocated so i can add it to volumes that are running out of space. [16:17] is there any way to get an ubuntu livecd going from a DOS prompt? I'm using a windows boot disk because this laptop can't boot from a CD [16:17] glitsj16, ok, I will try that [16:17] ok, [16:17] i will try [16:17] Steve-cal: in other words, fdisk doesn't show a 1, 3, or 4 slice [16:17] Marco , the last line on lspci is most likely your soundcard [16:17] I have a fresh install of ubuntu, how do i find out my root password ? [16:17] !root [16:17] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [16:17] dos prompt? [16:17] jabba: whatever you do do not attempt to move executables from one location to another. [16:17] hi... i'm doing update from gutsy to hardy.... it finished setting up all the updates but the update-manager is chopping my harddrive for over 20 minutes [16:17] thanks [16:18] should i kill the upgrade process? [16:18] thank you so much, i come back later [16:18]  help.. i am installing new drivers for my video card.. but when i try it says error vcdk is missing. [16:18] robg__: hm, i guess i've never tried to do that with swraid [16:18] there is a rescue boot disc [16:18] !root says event not found ;( [16:18] level09: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [16:18] alteregox: This laptop no internal drives except for the hd, so I need USB support for a CD [16:19] that's where things get complicated [16:19] ok [16:19] jabba: Hmm. OK. So please make it clear--does Hardy load just fine except it just doesn't show the splash screen? Does it show a console output with lots of messages flying by or what does it look like? [16:19] kdorf enable legacy support in bios [16:19] legacy usb [16:19] ubottu: tell level09 about root [16:19] Steve-cal: yeah, the "normal" linux boot stuff. [16:19] and press f12 during boot [16:19] does anyone know wht vcdk is? [16:19] how are the atheros drivers working in hardy, do they load by default, i am looking for an good pci wireless network card... [16:19] alteregox: It's a toshiba r100, and it will only boot from the toshiba cd drive which I don't have === PyTh0n is now known as PyTh0n_M3sGuL [16:19] Hi. Which is the file in my homedir where I should put "setterm -blank 0" ? Thanks. [16:20] is it possible to get the ubottu facts without spamming the channel? can you just msg him? [16:20] unimatrix9: yes they should [16:20] kdorf: I suppose it would be possible to clobber together something using loadlin. [16:20] ok thanks [16:20] but you can try to use the legacy support [16:20] funkyhat: for less typing... you can type '!root > someuser' ... same functionality... nice how it doesn't bother you huh? :P [16:20] hi [16:20] i have 5.1 board [16:20] maybe it boots maybe not [16:20] hey Steve-cal i have a code review, i gotta go. i'll pester you in a bit :) [16:20] unimatrix9: i use them myself infact :) no fuss [16:20] jabba: I don't know why the splash screen wouldn't load then if you did a normal Hardy install and set the menu.lst grub file with the "splash" option. Guess I can't help you on that one. [16:20] its not working.. [16:20] thanks, though. saved muh bacon :) [16:20] I am getting dependency errors [16:20] and 5.1 speakers, can anybody help me how to set amarok and mplayer to play in all speakers and woofer ? [16:20] AcornAcorn: yeah you can just msg ubottu [16:20] funkyhat: thanks, sudo works fine for me , but I was thinking about switching users [16:20] unimatrix9: welcome [16:20] fde: ah nice :-) thanks [16:20] funkyhat: also, for in the channel, if its something others might benefit from, '!whatever | someuser' === sales is now known as sourcode[0] [16:21] unr3a1: did you install it via Gdebi ? [16:21] Lynet: I'll look into putting loadlin on the disk and see what I can come up with [16:21] level09: use sudo -i [16:21] who knows what vcdk is? [16:21] Which is the file in my homedir where I should put "setterm -blank 0" ? [16:21] why does df /boot not give me a partition with /boot? it gives me one with just / [16:21] glitsj16, I have no idea what that is [16:21] kdorf: What options do you have for booting, btw? floppy? [16:21] Chaotic_Descent: df -h | grep boot [16:22] Lynet: Yes, pretty much just floppy. But once I get booted off the floppy I can get into the CD drive [16:22] Chaotic_Descent: did you actually set a separate /boot though? There's none by default. [16:22] <^NighT^WalkeR^> does anyone know where i can find a tutorial about how to add a system call ubuntu? [16:22] unr3a1: Gdebi is a way to install .deb packages, ubuntu (apt) doesn't know what to do with them default like, try accessories > appfinder for Gdebi [16:22] fde: I don't know. I'm trying to fix grub since it broke my linux and windows partition. [16:23] ^NighT^WalkeR^: what exactly do you mean by that? What are you trying to accomplish? [16:23] unr3a1: .. that checks all the dependencies for you, and installs those as well if you choose so [16:23] Chaotic_Descent: fdisk -l output to paste.ubuntu.com please.... also /boot/grub/menu.lst [16:24] appfinder? [16:24] can i easily remove applications installed using deb packages? [16:24] gooody: yes, that's the whole point [16:24] unr3a1: That's a KDE thing... just double click a .deb and it'll popup automatically... or any .deb on the net, same thing. [16:24] <^NighT^WalkeR^> fde, i just want to know how to do it... i am capable to do it in mandriva... but i really can't find out how to do it in ubuntu, because i can't find the same libraries in the kernel [16:24] ianbeyer: can i uninstall them completely using package manager? [16:25] unr3a1: yep, it's short for application finder, gives you a rundown of everything presently installed on your system [16:25] ^NighT^WalkeR^: What libraries are you looking for? [16:25] what does kpgk --initrd binary do when compiling a kernel? [16:26] i mean what does the binary part do? [16:26] does anybody have any experience running the livecd w/ loadlin? [16:26] fde: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15560/ [16:26] how can I convert avi to 3gp in Ubuntu ? [16:26] marcat: umm... nothing... make-kpkg --initrd creates an initrd for that kernel so if you have modules, it can initiate them [16:27] Gdebi is installed [16:27] unr3a1: just double click on whatever .deb you downloaded. [16:27] unr3a1: open it, or follow fde's advice and double-click the .deb file via your file-manager, should both work [16:27] fde, --initrd no binary is fine then? [16:27] can someone tell me how can I convert avi to 3gp in Ubuntu ? [16:27] fde: can i uninstall .deb packages using synaptic package manager? [16:28] Chaotic_Descent: strange... but ok... can I see your /boot/grub/menu.lst also please? [16:28] I mean video format conversion [16:28] <^NighT^WalkeR^> fde, i was suppose to add a helloworld system call (just to test) in mandriva i add helloworld.c to the library /usr/src/linux-2.6.17-13mdv/arch/i386/kernel/ [16:28] gooody: yup [16:28] like Total Video converter in Linux [16:28] pappan, ffmpeg [16:28] fde: thanks. [16:28] <^NighT^WalkeR^> fde but i cant find it in ubuntu [16:28] oops [16:28] is there a gui for it ? [16:28] marcat: uhh... I've never used that option. [16:28] <^NighT^WalkeR^> fde off with the ubuntu kernel [16:28] i just installed ubuntu, how do i make it detect the network, dhcp [16:28] pappan, maybe [16:28] thanks [16:28] pappan: winFF [16:29] fde, saw it in a tut other tuts dont have it. so i was confiused about it [16:29] hello everyone [16:29] i have an odd problem. i can ping remote hosts, and nslookup, but when i try to http or wget i get connection refused. i recently upgraded feisty to latest. [16:29] hello guys [16:29] I have a wireless mouse wich has a USB to comunicate with. But Ubuntu isn't recognizing it... any tips?? [16:29] and girls :) [16:29] what syntax is menu.lst in? [16:29] ^NighT^WalkeR^: linux-headers should be installed by default... I guess you want linux-source-2.6.24 though [16:30] nanoprobe, none here [16:30] Shouldn't a Wireless mouse act the same way as a wired one?? [16:30] hehe im a women !! [16:30] im wondering if im doing something wrong i can get on the internet on a windows box just not on any linux box? the network admin says everything should be ok? has anyone seen this? ive got four machines here and all machines dual boot to windows too so i know its not a cable or such issue [16:30] m0 w4yz [16:30] hi [16:30] marcat: I think they're refering to what you wish the kernel to be called... idk === san_ is now known as Piojoo [16:30] man woman -> segfault [16:30] envy-ng detects my ati radeon 9200 correctly, but says that the legacy driver which works with this card not available is for hardy, what to do for 3d acceleration? [16:30] <^NighT^WalkeR^> fde, just have to re extract it... fucked it up last time [16:30] Whats the best alternative to nero for burning dvds [16:31] <^NighT^WalkeR^> fde, but i do have it [16:31] ^NighT^WalkeR^: please watch your language. [16:31] suRs, are you good with linux? or do you steel shout at your computer like me? :D [16:31] lw0x15: k3b brasero... [16:31] I double click the deb file, and I get a dependency error [16:31] well i just started =p [16:31] cheers [16:31] i started yesterday :$ [16:31] fde: menu.lst http://paste.ubuntu.com/15563/ [16:31] shame on me [16:31] lw0x15: I just tell the file system to burn a CD and it presents me with options. [16:32] unr3a1: anything specific about the missing dependencies ? [16:32] <^NighT^WalkeR^> fde, sorry bout that [16:32] how do i stop and completely uninstall screenlets [16:32] robg__, srsly ? =O [16:32] Dependency is not satisfiable: libflashsupport | libasound2-plugins [16:32] im thinking about maybe i if should install it on my other computer i only have it on my laptop but i cant get compiz to work [16:32] Hi [16:32] couse i have an intel card [16:32] ubuntuisloved: when i had this it turned out to be a file called resolve.conf needs a nameserver entry [16:32] thank you glitsj16 [16:32] so I installed those via apt-get, and it is still coming up [16:32] Chaotic_Descent: see the title Windows 95/98/NT/2000 example? you want to use that... but set it to (hd0,2) ... remove the #'s infront too. [16:32] lwox15: yeah, seriously. [16:32] weird .. [16:33] Chaotic_Descent: make sense? [16:33] <^NighT^WalkeR^> fde, the thing is... that i can't find the .../i368/kernel/ [16:33] gnuskool: yea i checked DNS in /etc/resolv.conf and i used nslookup and no luck it works and returns IP's [16:33] i need help with fonts, fonts in most my apps are barely readable [16:33] gnuskool: also routing internally works fine just not out to the net [16:33] I am new to Ubuntu/Linux . Is there a possibility to get infected with viruses or trojans ? [16:33] ^NighT^WalkeR^: x86 ... they merged i386 and x86_64 ... mandriva just has a _really_ old kernel [16:33] question: I have a mirror based on the live CD; is there a package corresponding to kubuntu-desktop? The installer only installed a basic command-line... [16:34] unr3a1: did you "sudo apt-get remove libflashsupport nspluginwrapper" first ? [16:34] herzenstern; no. [16:34] fde: editing the file from my linux partition will keep the changes? editing it from grub didn't. [16:34] (where *the* livecd is kubuntu*alternate*iso) [16:34] Chaotic_Descent: yup. [16:34] I tried, and it said it wasn't installed [16:34] envy-ng detects my ati radeon 9200 correctly, but says that the legacy driver which works with this card not available is for hardy, what to do for 3d acceleration? [16:34] <^NighT^WalkeR^> fde ok... so i am supposed to use x86... and then the Makefile_32? etc [16:34] nanoprobe what verison do you use? [16:34] fde: ok, thanks. I'll take a look. [16:34] bastid_raZor, even if Ubuntu is installed to HDD ? [16:35] jonaskoelker: ubuntu-8.04-alternate-i386.iso in LVM encrypted mode. [16:35] 7.10 [16:35] couldn't find package flashsupport [16:35] ^NighT^WalkeR^: I'd guess so, yes [16:35] someday i am able to use gentoo [16:35] 7.10 xubuntu? [16:35] what kinad name [16:35] <^NighT^WalkeR^> fde, thanx... [16:35] robg__: which packages should I install to get the default kubuntu installation? [16:35] any1 knows what distro linus travolds uses [16:35] no, ubuntu ultimate [16:35] <^NighT^WalkeR^> fde, i'll give it a try [16:35] hi [16:35] what computer do you have? [16:35] my net connection is working, but i can't open any page in my firefox, wat;s going on? [16:35] robg__: default *gui/desktop* installation, not command-line [16:35] alteregox: It's really not worth it... you spend a week compiling, and you might get a slim performance advantage over Ubuntu :/ [16:35] errr... nspluginwrapper [16:35] it couldnt find that package [16:36] suRs: dell vostro 1000, laptop [16:36] ^NighT^WalkeR^: you'll want to 'sudo aptitude install build-essential' first. [16:36] how annoying: i a, on an internet connection from my windows boot; but with ubuntu i can not connect to the very same connection, what can i do ? [16:36] is there any easy way with apt to say "what depends ON this?" [16:36] jonaskoelker: I have not installed kubuntu but all systems are installed with one LiveCD. [16:36] ^NighT^WalkeR^: although could be the linux-source package did that for you. [16:36] do you have compiz on your computer [16:36] suRs: yes [16:36] robg__: well, I installed with netboot (pxe)... [16:36] xubuntu is not that lightwieght. fluxbuntu takes chunks away from the distro and uses flux box. much faster than xubuntu [16:36] herzenstern; it doesn't matter where you have ubuntu installed. from browsing the web or emails you will not get a virus unless you actively run a binary that has someone sends you. then if you don't give it root privileges it can't do anything that isn't fixable [16:36] brett_h: apt-cache rdepends packagename [16:36] evening :) [16:36] its enabled [16:36] windows=internet ubuntu=no internet please help [16:37] unr3a1: i'm at a loss there i'm afraid, following the detailed instructions at that url worked for me, sorry [16:37] hey [16:37] if ping, and nslookup works, why would ssh, wget, and browsers return "connection refused" [16:37] i cant mine to work :/ [16:37] how do i setup dhcp on my new ubuntu 8 install? [16:37] it sucks i think i have wrong verison of linux or somting [16:37] Hello, I need help with quemu [16:37] bastid_raZor, Thanx [16:37] Any laptop users here that can say tricky stuff like hibernate, audio jacks etc was a breeze to get going and recommend a laptop? [16:37] Pici: thanks [16:37] herzenstern; it all goes back to the common sense thought.. if you don't know what it is.. don't run it :) but unlike windows (i assume you are converting from) you won't magically acquire a virus. [16:37] jonaskoelker: download a LiveCD and do a guided install in either entire disk or largest empty space. [16:38] glitsj16, its ok. thanks for trying though [16:38] . [16:38] hi is there any simple command to install gstreamer plugins [16:38] robg__: no thanks; I don't want to fiddle with burning CDs right now [16:38] Hi everyone, is there anyway I can download a fully bootable version opf ubuntu just to mess around with? also, can i boot form a flash drive or should i burn to a cd? I dont want to switch anything, I just want to boot to it so I can decide if I want it on my future eee :D [16:38] robg__: I could just as well install all packages from the net [16:39] Pici: aptitude why is more readable :P [16:39] jonaskoelker: OK, go ahead. [16:39] hi is there any simple command to install gstreamer plugins [16:39] !livecd | simply [16:39] simply: The Ubuntu Desktop CD is a "LiveCD" which can be run without altering existing files on your harddrive. Especially useful for testing your hardware's compatibility, it also includes an install option. [16:39] hello [16:39] robg__: ^_^ [16:39] matrix, search for gstreamer in Synaptic or use the updater [16:39] so burn the livecd? or can i run it off of a flash drive? [16:40] ok i made /boot 2GB i hope its enough [16:40] i got everything to run smoothly on my laptop (dell vostro 1000), i changed only screen resolution manually later [16:40] * maximilion_ has a dream... Run Linux off two raided CF cards on a cheap laptop [16:40] fde: But that doesnt tell me anything I need to know if the package is already manually installed [16:40] yeah i run debian on my dreambox [16:40] where do i download livecd? [16:41] because there is no ubuntu for dreambox [16:41] releases.ubuntu.com simply [16:41] ubuntuisloved: hmm, not sure,what address is in resolve.conf, router address or isp nameserver address [16:41] ping/nslookup works, but everything else doesn't. how do i debug? === hagabaka` is now known as hagabaka [16:41] eeepc : ubuntu can not get on internet; windows can, same cable, same computer ?? hellp! [16:41] okay thanks :) i just dont want to pay for aother microsoft liscense D: [16:41] 2.5" replacement adapters are on eBay, people seem to have reasonable results with Vostro 1500 [16:42] simply; you could always dual boot.. [16:42] Pici: I think I picked a bad example to look at... apt-cache rdepends libmad0 dumps out a bunch of stuff... much cleaner to just know why it's installed...

[17:55] Ramasdf: It'll tell you the path to 'sudo' [17:56] Ramasdf, it prints the path fro the binary file "sudo" [17:56] is there a good alternative to vnc for ubuntu/xubuntu? [17:56] kindofabuzz: did you get update for ff3b5 through update manager? cause i haven't yet. do you have the hardy-proposed repo enabled or something? [17:56] or maybe a more general question: [17:56] mokzu, why not use vnc? [17:56] ok can someone answer a really basic question for me? if i do an apt-get install where does it actually install that package to? [17:56] Lollo: ask you question. [17:57] Which is the typical way to include all subdirectories when entering a path for a progeam? [17:57] Ali_ix: Thanks! The Add/remove thing works now :) [17:57] jitters usually /usr/bin [17:57] hi all [17:57] sorry, program. [17:57] thebishop: it's not secure? [17:57] j1tters, the files will be installed to the paths described on the package file [17:57] debian_: #grub will be a better resource than here. [17:57] factotum i know where the actual runnable file is but where are the rest of that packages files.. [17:57] hola [17:57] j1solutions, unlike windows a soft set of files is not installed on a single directory [17:57] read up and find out, whats what everyone else does [17:57] j1tters: if you use synaptic, you'll find a tab in there called 'installed files' per package, neatly organised :) [17:57] mokzu, vnc over ssh [17:57] AlexRADL: the Synaptics is the advanced mode for add/remove, and both are frontends for apt [17:58] !apt | AlexRADL [17:58] AlexRADL: 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) [17:58] j1tters, after installing you can check the files that were installed with: dpkg -L package_name [17:58] thanks all [17:58] I always just send people here: http://rute.2038bug.com/index.html.gz [17:58] Was my question clear enough? [17:58] Found the problem. It was Tracker. Removed it and everything's fine. [17:59] thanks [17:59] thebishop: can vnc over ssh be done with just the ssh login or does the user have to login to ssh then vnc?

[18:02] davou A bunch of work is being done today on everything [18:02] Ali_ix: I guess I should explain better: the program is pure data audio environment. You can add startup paths where libs will be searched for. I know the libs are stored in various directories located under /usr/lib/pd/extra/ [18:02] does anyone have any suggestions for a good video board for ubuntu? I have ATI and Nvidia boards but have lots of problems with them [18:03] Ali_ix: I tried adding /usr/lib/pd/extra/* [18:03] I need to get MoL working on my PPC G5. I realize that MoL doesn't yet work under 64-bit, so I'll need to install 32-bit. Does anyone have experience working with this? [18:03] but here its showing ubuntu [18:03] legend2440: sorry, yeah, it's in proposed [18:03] Jack_Sparrow, legend2440 : Many thanks. I was wondering if my sources list was out of date or something. [18:03] aims_stillnoobs Ubuntu ultimate is NOT supported in here.. [18:03] has anyone used MoL before? [18:03] Lollo: it is up to that program to support 'wildcards' like *, check program manual [18:03] ok i get now [18:03] davou: why not use a different server for now? [18:04] kindofabuzz: ok thanks [18:04] why i get always disconnected from yahoo chatrooms [18:04] moshe: Depends on what you intend to use it for. For good 3D performance, I'd recommend nVidia and their binary driver. === brocebeats is now known as brocebesleepn [18:04] heyyyy [18:05] Ali_ix: Thanks. Would you say that * wildcard is quite 'standard' in linux programs? [18:05] Lollo: not exactly [18:05] aims_stillnoobs: you're welcome to install a supported version of Ubuntu though. But we're unable to support "ultimate" because they've made changes that we don't know about. [18:05] I have a Nvidia Gforce3 but have problems with the drivers in X [18:05] Lollo: linux is a big word! it is popular in bash and common shells === nico_ is now known as nico|afk [18:06] thanks glitsj16 and Ali_ix that's what I thought [18:06] Hello all. I have the problem that Brasero does not burn .cues to VCDs properly (they are not viewable in dvd and vlc player). If I burn them with cdrdao, it works. I didn't find anything in the Bug reports.

You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [18:07] <_0tt0v0nc4t_> Hello, I am having a hard time getting tor to work in hardy. It seems that it doesnt work with FF beta 3 and I get errors installing tor button using the FF 2 from synaptic. Does anyone know how to get it to work? [18:07] its not working now, ubuntu_newbie [18:07] its repeating all the packets for some reason [18:07] !flood | ubuntu_newbie [18:07] ubuntu_newbie: 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) [18:07] Ali_ix: that's not what !flood is for ;) [18:08] I've got an Intel soundcard in my laptop that stops working when I resume from Sleep. How can I tell if this is a kernel problem or Pulse/Ubuntu problem? [18:08] what is the term for protocols such as SMTP and HTTP, as opposed to TCP etc. [18:09] oich: network thingies? :) [18:09] moshe: Again, what do you intend to use it for? I could always recommend an insane nVidia 9800 SLI setup, but if you are building say a mythtv box that is intended to connect to an old SD TV over svideo then that's insane overkill. [18:09] wouldanyone know how to escape / for sed? (i need to sed s /media/cdrom, but i get all errors because of the /'s) [18:09] oich, UDP? [18:09] Are there any good alternitives to the Nvidia and ATI video boards out there that are supported by Hardy? [18:09] does ./*.bin installs an executable file? [18:09] I belive SMTP and HTTP are protocols that work over TCP [18:09] anyone have an idea why thunderbird wouldn't start, with no error message? [18:10] giantmidget: escape char is "\", so "\/" should do it [18:10] beerockxs HAve you treid from cli [18:10] looks funky too [18:10] I use the system mostly for programming and web page design but have a few 3d games [18:10] thebishop: I believe that too, but I'm hoping for a technical term slightly less general than network thingies [18:10] Jack_Sparrow: yeah [18:10] no error message [18:10] but it doesn't start [18:10] i also tried reinstalling the package [18:10] Does anyone here have a wordpress blog that is syndicated by planet ubuntu? I am having a strange issue. [18:11] !enter | beerockxs [18:11] beerockxs: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [18:11] glitsj16, thanks, but that somehow won't work [18:11] my title loops back to the planet, but the feed looks fine. [18:11] moshe 3d games in ubuntu or under wine etc? [18:11] hmm, how does ubuntu determine the UUID in grub's menu.lst [18:11] oich, they're just protocols [18:11] it is picking the wrong one [18:11] does ./*.bin installs an executable file? [18:11] in ubuntu. I'm still a little unsure about wine [18:11] !uuid | ChaosR [18:11] ChaosR: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [18:12] moshe: For 3D, pretty much the only alternative to ati/nvidia is intel onboard graphics or perhaps matrox (if excellent 2D multi-monitor is also a requirement). [18:12] ChaosR: 'blkid' command in terminal gives you UUIDs per drive [18:12] moshe, what about? [18:12] giantmidget: could you pastebin your sed ? than people can take an exact look at it, escaping char sequences is tricky as you found out :) [18:12] Jack_Sparrow: I know how to get the UUID, but the autogeneration script picks the a wrong (non-existing) UUID, and I wonder how to fix this [18:12] ChaosR You can also just switch it to the old /dev/sdax [18:13] chanserv should be back soon(ish) [18:13] Jack_Sparrow: every time the kernel updates, I need to reconfigure my meny.lst, and I think that shouldnt be happening [18:13] ChaosR: You ment blkid ? [18:13] I still have an old NEC P1150 multisync monitor (20") but the ATI drivers fail to correctly identify the monitor and I cannot get compiz to work at all [18:13] glitsj16, well its like this: [18:14] cat * | sed s/media/REP/ behaves as expected [18:14] Is it possible to install feisty packages on hardy? [18:14] but cat * | sed s/\/media/REP/ gives me sed: -e expression #1, char 10: unknown option to `s' [18:14] so i was just hoping gomeone might know sed better [18:15] I mean, when I sudo apt-get dist-upgrade, and a new kernel is installed, grub messes my menu.lst, it picks the wrong UUID for the kernel location [18:15] giantmidget: ask #bash [18:15] giantmidget: try to quote whole s/../.. [18:15] So I wonder where grub/apt gets this non-existing UUID [18:15] ChaosR fix fstab then see what happens [18:15] Jack_Sparrow: how to you mean, "fix" fstab? [18:15] Jack_Sparrow: no idea about the thunderbird silently not starting then? [18:16] giantmidget: just a sec please, my sed is rusty too say the least, but there should be a space after your very first sed s/ i think [18:16] ChaosR gksudo gedit /etc/fstab and fix it [18:16] ChaosR: check you fstab for wrong entry [18:16] Jack_Sparrow: there is nothing wrong with my fstab [18:17] ChaosR I would change uuid to /dev for a start as this is an odd problem [18:17] beerockxs no idea... [18:17] sed takes filenames, you don't have to use cat and pipe [18:17] ok, lets try this [18:17] Ali_ix, thanks, that does work if i still escape the /'s too. but the problem is that the first par should come from a variable, so i can't use esc characters in it. thanks though [18:17] quick question, every time i close an app that should minimise to the panel i.e pidgin or amorak, it dissappears, also my network status and battery meter etc have gone from the panel, how do i get these back?? [18:17] Question please, i did a sudo apt-get install compiz* libcompiz* libdeco* emerald* libemerald* and it ran into an error at the end http://paste.ubuntu.com/15546/ anyone know what this means?? [18:18] hello everyone, just a question: is it right if the folder .dbus is not accessible? [18:18] ChaosR sudo apt-get install pastebinit && cp /etc/fstab ~/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt && sudo fdisk -l >> ~/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt && cat /home/$USER/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt | pastebinit (Provide Pastebin link in channel) [18:18] Hello people I've got some problems with ndisgtk [18:18] youry501 right client on the panel and add the app that olds them I forgot the name was stausbar or something [18:19] ChaosR: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=644661 [18:19] glitsj16, so the main thing is that i cant use esc chars in the "/media/dvdrw" part, so i can substitute it with a variable... [18:19] but is a actual panel that holds them [18:19] After a reboot I always need to reinstall the driver? [18:19] microwaver no [18:19] Jakoo: yep, it needs root privileges .. and that's a good thing [18:19] microwaver: You probably just need to add "ndiswrapper" to /etc/modules... is it in there? [18:20] ah, thanks legend2440 [18:20] ChaosR: yw [18:20] giantmidget: what does "man sed" do for all that ? [18:20] Can I troubleshoot/get help on getting a game to work on wine here? Or should I go to #wine [18:21] diefordethklok: you just answered your self, #winehq [18:21] glitsj16 thanx though when i shut the system i get weir warns about dbus [18:21] They to specific aps there?

[18:38] I know there is with DSL but I have no boot disk and im hoping it is posible with ubuntu [18:38] soundray, it is running. i can se transmission as a working program in conky [18:38] Steve-cal: trying to do a ground up install [18:38] ipv6 is not nessary yet and it slows down networks [18:38] what web server would you guys recommend for a newb? i would have very light traffic [18:38] by default its enabled [18:38] genii: nickserv is offline atm, or not really working [18:38] gpled: Are you planning on installing a OS to that partition at some point? [18:38] Jokka: what happens when you just enter 'transmission'? I'd be surprised if it starts a new instance... [18:38] tj83: no.. when i reinstalled i used applications add/remove.. what would the command in a terminal be?? and yes im using gnome.. i believe? [18:39] apache or lighttpd? or something else? [18:39] soundray, it says that its already running [18:39] Soopa: maybe lighttpd or apache [18:39] giantmidget: i'm afraid math was always out of my dept .. that's why i blessed the compiz gods for some eyecandy, sorry, maybe someone can point you to a # filled with regex guru's .. :) [18:39] and with transmission fg it says the same [18:39] tonyyarusso: worked for me just now [18:39] genii: back now? [18:39] tonyyarusso: OK. It keeps seeming to bug me for identify of nickname genii-around [18:39] wil_: Sounds like you should try ddrescue on the failing NTFS drive! [18:39] soundray: yeah, just got the wallop [18:39] magnetron: which is easier to configure? [18:39] perhaps its "dd_rescue". [18:39] Soopa: dunna [18:39] Steve-cal: peace by peace. will start with some bin files then start adding souce for programs [18:39] magnetron: okie, thanks :) [18:39] Jokka: perhaps you should kill it and start afresh [18:40] Hello [18:40] PdUb101, synaptics is a sure thing.... search "compiz-settings-manager" or see if its even installed by "sudo apt-get install compiz-settings-manager" [18:40] do geeks use ubuntu ? or they prefer more tech like slack or gentoo [18:40] soundray, thats the prob, i dont wanna close it and restart it. i want it to open in a new window.. [18:40] 1w0x15 lots of people use ubuntu [18:40] syb, il look that up now [18:40] lw0x15: i'm a geek and i endorse this distro [18:40] i still use gentoo too [18:40] nix is nix :) [18:40] lw0x15: idk, but I'm a nerd who uses ubuntu [18:40] lw0x15: that's more of a question from #ubuntu-offtopic [18:40] tj83: isn't it compizconfig-settings-manager ? [18:41] Steve-cal: should i be able to get a kernal to boot off the drive like that? [18:41] gentoo takes forever to install software because it compiles everything from source [18:41] can anyone help me with runlevels plz ? [18:41] Which should be installed first, a file system or LVM? [18:41] codecaine: and its still faster than windows [18:41] can someone do me a favour and give me the output of "dpkg -S update-menus" please ? === fdd-0 is now known as fdd [18:41] tj83: i recieved a "E: Couldn't find package compiz-setting-manager" [18:41] can anyone help to get the right vga code for 1680x1050 and 1280x800 like this: http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/blog/archtoad6/2007-12-29/VGA_Resolution_Codes_for_GRUB_Lilo [18:41] Im not to sure took me almost a whole day to install it [18:41] When trying to view two videos that work fine on a friend's computer, on mine (in mplayer) they play slowly, withoutsound, in black and white. In VLC, it's the same, but they play regular speed. In "Movie Player" (8.04 default), they play same as they do in mplayer. [18:41] PdUb101: compizconfig-settings-manager [18:41] wil_: Make as good a copy as you can of all the bits on the disk using such a low-level tool. Only after you've made a copy onto a fresh working drive should you then risk changes to the NTFS file system. [18:42] What is the deal? [18:42] Wobbo: there is no VGA Code for widescreen resoloution [18:42] glitsj16, heheh im a complete noob at this, i ever only studied literature and languages and such, but im starting to really love the shell, so im not giving up ;) thanks again for your time [18:42] gpled: Well I don't think just copying over the /boot directory from your liveCD to your sda2 partition will work. You need to formally install Grub to that partition. And about the kernel, depends probably how you put it there--a simple copy won't likely work. [18:42] I just configured ubuntu hardy server on an ibm server running vmware esxi. i am getting an error on boot "Host SMBus controller not enabled." Is this serious? everything seems to be working. [18:42] Jokka: firefox has the -remote option (which is default when an instance is running). Perhaps there is one for transmission, too. Try man transmission [18:42] * syb *waves*, Rebooting to try Live CD incase "e100" network driver on Hardy has a bug! :-( [18:42] question for you guys, my laptop has shortcut a FN and shortcut keys ie Fn and F4 to turn up the volume etc, does anyone know how these are configured????? [18:42] all in all gentoo did have fast menus and could run appz etc faster [18:42] PdUb101 try the settings with an "s" [18:42] [or combination of things I'm running] [18:42] plural [18:42] codecaine: my home server was rebooted first something like 1h after i used livecd to install [18:43] SoulChild: oh... anything i can do? [18:43] tj83: says its already the newest version 0 upgrage 0 installed 0 to remove [18:43] PdUb101: Also put the word "config" at the end of "compiz" [18:43] dbrewer_rjr: You might have better luck finding help in #ubuntu-server, just an idea. [18:43] codecaine: after that 1year uptime, then power decided to blow [18:43] yorky501: have you verified that it's not already working? [18:43] Wobbo: yes, use the maximal normal resouloution [18:43] I also used a lived cd with bare configurations [18:43] Steve-cal: grub should just boot on its own, even if i do not have a kernal, right? [18:43] with windows its 10 reboots before it "works" [18:43] soundray, nope.. [18:43] PdUb101: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [18:43] gpled: ya, if you installed it [18:43] soundray indeed i have [18:43] most linux install are just one reboot [18:44] PdUb101, i would try the synaptics route... and remove it completely then install again. [18:44] gpled: If you have Grub installed correctly, I believe the answer is yes. [18:44] kajo: could be a settings issue in your player, choosing the correct output modules can also greatly affect audio/video performance .. what format are the vids ? [18:44] kajo ... codec packages ? [18:44] yorky501: try System-Preferences-Keyboard Shortcuts then [18:44] tj83: synaptics??? [18:44] simplexio: from live cd, $sudo grub-install /dev/sda2 ?? [18:44] codecaine: thats true... somethimes ubuntru annoys me. it offers reboot when it could just tell to relog to X [18:44] I want to run Ubuntu 8.04 64bit. My current Intel board (socket 775) can't memory-map, so all I get is 3.3 Gigs RAM. Can anyone suggest a decent combo that will let me USE the full 4Gigs? [18:44] SoulChild: thanks [18:44] true :) [18:45] Hi, is there a program for Ubuntu that shows the bitrate of MP3's? [18:45] "sudo synaptic" [18:45] gpled: you porbably need /boot/ partition mounted too [18:45] dutch: Ubuntu x86_64 should support all of your memory on your board [18:45] cheers soundray [18:45] or menus Administration-Synaptic Package Manager [18:45] gpled: That command will not work I don't think--that command is used to install grub into the MBR, not a partition. [18:46] simplexio: was thinking about that. just going with one partiton. not going to make a sep partition for boot. [18:46] glitsj16, grobda24, the vids are mp4/m4v, and I don't know much about the tech side of media players on linux at all (I know only basic concepts of what codecs, etc are- I don't know what is meant by 'output modules'.) [18:46] gpled: I think you would be better off asking in #grub, but that's just an idea. :) [18:46] soundray: Yes, it does. The limitation is in the motherboard itself. That's why I need advice on another mobo and/or cpu [18:46] gpled: then yyou probably need / partiotion mounted before installing that grub. i think after all it installs stuff into /boot/grub/ [18:46] hello - sorry to ask the obvious, but can I have a newbie synopsis of ssh? I mean, I did info ssh, but it was... cryptic. I just want to log into my friend's computer, which I have an IP of. [18:46] NW2190: right click mp3>properties>audio tab [18:46] Steve-cal: sounds like a good idea :) [18:46] Thanks in advance [18:47] dutch: this may not be the best channel for your question... There is also ##hardware [18:47] Nihilist_Nerd: on console : ssh username@targetip [18:47] <^NighT^WalkeR^> if i make a new linux-source-2.6.24, shouldn't i get a initrd.img-2.6.24-* ? [18:47] soundray: thx. [18:47] !ssh | Nihilist_Nerd [18:47] Nihilist_Nerd: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ [18:47] simplexio: i think you are right. im going to dump my mkdir /mnt/boot file, and let grub try and make it [18:47] simplexio: thanks... oddly, it's not working [18:47] Thanks [18:48] tj83: ok in the process of completely removing all compiz software, and will try the reinstall.. thanks for the help [18:48] simplexio: now that i think about it, that might be whats worng. grub sees boot dir already there [18:48] Nihilist_Nerd: umm.. you have username on target, target is reachable ip from your point [18:48] PdUb101.... no problem.... just come back after reboot to let us know the outcome [18:48] thanks Steve-cal and simplexio for brainstorming with me [18:48] is there a good gui for scp? [18:48] kajo, vlc for instance, another widely used media player uses that concept , translates into something like 'via which codec are we going to decode and play the files' .. i'll check my own settings for that format, brb [18:48] I would like to 'right-click' a file and scp it to a server [18:49] legend2440: Ah. Thanks that's what I was looking for. [18:49] Wobbo: The codes listed in that link are, afaik, the complete list of standard resolutions. Some video cards *might* support other modes, but that depends entirely on the VESA bios on the graphics card. [18:49] MitchM: nautilus can handle sftp [18:49] simplexio, thanks [18:49] is there a setting blocking the port 1328 [18:49] thanks glitsj16. [18:49] gpled: No problem, good luck with it. [18:49] nickserv [18:49] kajo ... the default player that comes with the distro installs codecs on demand. [18:49] MitchM: in english you can use it ocer ssh connection, try look coonec to server from gnome places menu [18:49] MitchM its not a gui of scp but you can use sftp, and you can see list of files etc like an ftp [18:49] Wobbo: If I'm not mistaken, setting vga=ASK should list all available modes. [18:49] <^NighT^WalkeR^> if i make a new linux-source-2.6.24, shouldn't i get a initrd.img-2.6.24-* ? [18:50] grobda24, you mean totem? [18:50] kajo: in the mean time, did you install any additional media-related packages after a fresh install ? [18:50] like I said, it plays it, it is just glitchy in the aforementioned ways (grobda24) [18:50] !kernelcompile | ^NighT^WalkeR^ [18:50] ^NighT^WalkeR^: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages [18:50] glitsj16, nothing outside of restricted extras, I believe. [18:50] kajo ... was your friends system Ubuntu ? [18:51] simplexio, codecaine: neither suite my needs, i would like to right-click on a single file... do a 'Send To:' as scp (just type in login/pass/path and done)... [18:51] Lynet where do i perform that ask command? [18:51] perhaps i'll have to write something myself. [18:51] grobda24, no, he's on a mac. [18:51] MitchM: why don't you mount the remote directory with sshfs. Then you can drag and drop. [18:51] yea would be pretty easy to do MitchM [18:51] :) [18:52] Wobbo: At exactly the same place where you would say vga=775. [18:52] soundray, because that's not what i want to do [18:52] MitchM: that is probably possible with after somecoding, but how about onelines in terminal: scp filename user@somewhere: [18:52] Hi. I havent used this PC for 4 months and the password seems to be something else. And now I can't upgrade to 8.04. Any way to reset it? [18:52] simplexio, i do onelines currently. [18:52] hello ehm I am guessing what this means as i get it everytime i shut the system or i reboot : http://paste.ubuntu.com/15592/ [18:52] <[T]an1> can anyone recommend a good flowchart utility for gnome? [18:52] kajo: if it plays it's not a codec issue, you could try adding packages.medibuntu.org to your repo list (via synaptic in a GUI is one way) and see what gives .. [18:52] Lynet where do i get respons then? [18:52] simplexio, but there should be a simple gui for this. [18:52] MitchM: and that sshfs i good idea [18:52] Hey guys [18:52] MitchM: why ? [18:52] any one help me with ccsm problem? [18:52] Wobbo: On screen.. At boot.. [18:52] simplexio, for a couple hundred servers? [18:52] ccsm window is not fitting to screen..main window goes up and down when i click [18:53] Lynet, ok ill try thanks [18:53] glitsj16, how would adding a repository help me? [18:53] Andeh: you can bootup in recovery mood and use 'passwd' command o change your user password [18:53] MitchM: then do script [18:53] Ali_ix: Ah. Didn't think of that. Thanks :) Except anyone else who knows that can do that too. Hmm. [18:53] Jakoo: Does it prevent you from shutting down or rebooting? === irjis is now known as irjis_ [18:54] simplexio: I have a username on the target, yes [18:54] Kari.... what is your screen resolution? [18:54] Dow do I know if the IP is reachable from my point? [18:54] Nihilist_Nerd: and target ip is reachable [18:54] no it just reboots normal or shut but i get that screen everytime before it shuts [18:54] *how [18:54] Nihilist_Nerd: ping ? [18:54] simplexio, but i have files that change names [18:54] kajo: support for some formats is not in the default ubuntu repositories, it could be that you are using an outdated codec system .. just guessing though, nothing that i can conform that will make it snappier ... [18:54] ok thanks [18:54] is that normal? [18:54] how can i use a text browser inside vim? [18:54] MitchM: use bash magic [18:54] simplexio, in different directories, and a script doesn't satisfy my 'dynamic' needs. === matthew__ is now known as _bash3ll_ [18:54] eldalion: ask in #vim [18:54] MitchM: then make perl script [18:54] hah. "passwd will reject any password which is not suitably complex." neat. [18:54] just ping yes? [18:55] simplexio, how about i just make a gui for scp? [18:55] MitchM: and that helps ? [18:55] I have a usb headset it was working fine last night when I left for work and I came in tonight and my laptop was completely off. I turned it back on and when it booted up half of the startup sound played through my headset and it swapped to my laptops loud speakers and after logging in i went to the soudn manage and my stuff said usb headset but when I went to go play a "test" tone it failed saying the device wasn't there then I restarted it and it said [18:55] tj83:800*600 but it happens only with ccsm main page [18:55] usb headset (not connected) so I restarted again and now it's not even listed as a device but when I press the buttong on my usb headset to mute/turn up/down the volume I get the on screen display doing it and cat /etc/alsa/modules/cards does not list my headset [18:55] gui progs just slow down processes [18:55] yeah [18:55] Any ideas on what I can do to make it see my headset right again? I know it's good and the usb port is good because it still works just fine in windows [18:55] Katami: sounds like a bad USB cable [18:55] Kari... what seems very low... what size screen? desktop or notebook? standard or wide screen? what video card? [18:55] glitsj16, grobda24, totem is saying the properties are 640 x 426, the codec is H.264 / AVC, 30 fps, N/A bitrate, and the audio codec is MPEG-4 A..., stero, 44100 Hz. [18:56] Wobbo: An, I found an other way. sudo apt-get install hwinfo; sudo hwinfo --framebuffer | grep Mode [18:56] simplexio: Thanks - how do I know if ping worked? [18:56] Jakoo: Just my own opinion, but since it doesn't actually interfere with shutting down or restarting, I wouldn't worry about it at this point. You could spend many hours figuring out exactly why it gives those errors and it probably isn't a big deal anyway. [18:56] if you really need to send one file to hundred server then gui dosent help it [18:56] guis are good for beginners though [18:56] sthough [18:56] Nihilist_Nerd: you get answer [18:56] yep probably I was just curious about it thanks anyway [18:56] If you expire a user's password can anyone login as him and change it? [18:56] kari: what = that [18:57] Andeh: no [18:57] Andeh: teh root can [18:57] codecaine: sure. i dont touch vim wihtout gvim. [18:57] /teh/the [18:57] Jakoo: there is a way to fix that bug [18:57] err can kvm be defined to give a VM only 200mhz of the available processor? [18:57] wut that floodbot does ? [18:57] i setup a bridge for virtualbox host interfaces, it works fine but network=panel si totally confused now [18:57] oh and? [18:57] any suggestions? [18:57] Ali_ix: It says it prompts the user to change it himself upon next login. How does it know it's the user? [18:57] Jakoo: give me a second to find the info... I have it right here... [18:57] soundray [18:57] network-panel i mean [18:57] oki [18:57] tj83:15" standard desktop crt...dont know about video card but special effects are working [18:57] I use 2 network cards [18:57] how can it be a bad usb cable if IT WORKS IN WINDOWS >_< [18:58] Andeh: sorry, i misunderstood it [18:58] one 10/100 and one is a giga [18:58] Katami: maybe you just haven't triggered the problem in Windows [18:58] hi ppl :) [18:58] i need some help [18:58] Kari: what size CRT? and use "lspci" to find out what card is installed in your system [18:58] hi spicemint what the problem [18:58] spicemint just ask the question [18:58] i have a network card [18:58] spicemint, ok [18:58] it is not working anymore after kernel update [18:59] spicemint, what card is it? [18:59] spicemint, you should type your entire problem out, and then post it in one paragraph. [18:59] there is a solution here http://www.jamesonwilliams.com/hardy-r8168.html [18:59] Ali_ix: So it is true that while an account is expired and waiting for password change anyone can set the password? [18:59] spicemint, listen to kajo [18:59] simplexio: Thanks - I got this: PING 79.76.10.0 (79.76.10.0) 56(84) bytes of data. [18:59] spicemint, so ... [18:59] Katami: Is headset connected through an usb hub? I seem to recall some problems with that. [18:59] i just don't know how to install the precompiled drivers [18:59] no Andeh [18:59] Jakoo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15594/ [18:59] Andeh: it shouldn't be ANYONE, but i have no specific info about that [18:59] is there a way to install 32-bit Ubuntu on a G5? [19:00] guys, where can i find a channel specific to mkv to xvid conversion? media conversion [19:00] Shiba, yep [19:00] codecaine: How does it know it is actually the user? [19:00] Ward1983: how? [19:00] andeh you need the old password to set the new password [19:00] Shiba: no [19:00] helder_: try mencoder or mplayer chan [19:00] spicemint, u need to compile ur own kernel [19:00] Nihilist_Nerd: you should get something like this after it : 64 bytes from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.732 ms , where xxx is ip used [19:00] the user types in the old password then the new one they want [19:00] Jakoo: be careful with the cut and paste operations detailed there and it should fix it. [19:00] no way really? [19:00] tj83:00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 03) [19:00] is there no easier way? [19:00] Shiba: only PPC [19:00] yorky501: I should have guessed that. Thanks :) [19:00] spicemint, unless if its a module [19:00] tj83:15 inch crt [19:00] like inserting those drivers to the right place [19:01] Shiba: (which is 32bit, but not i386) [19:01] ok ty [19:01] spicemint, then u can compile the module and go enable module [19:01] !u [19:01] Unless you're Dutch or Flemish, or a government officier, the letter 'U' is not a pronoun. If you want to be taken more seriously, please bother to type out the extra letters in "you". The same goes for "are", "why", "because", "anyone", and so on.. [19:01] hi i just installed mpeg123 .. how do i use it ?? [19:01] spicemint, hold on let me read the page [19:01] soundray: yes. the point is that I am trying to get ubuntu-ppc (and not ppc64) but the install CD gives me ppc64 [19:01] spicemint, I get an error at the page [19:01] Vegombrei: 'mpg123 musicfile.mp3' [19:01] kthakore: thx in the tarball there is also a readme, which sat it shoudl be possible to insert it to the right place [19:02] Kari: go up on resolution to 1024X768 and try it again [19:02] weird loads fine here [19:02] spicemint, ok === irjis_ is now known as irjis [19:02] soundray, as you said yourself the PPC versions IS 32 bit...... [19:02] I have hte Ubuntu 6.06.1 PPC install CD and it gives me only ppc64 [19:02] spicemint, let me know how that turs out [19:02] soundray: do i have to be in the particular folder ?? [19:02] im trying to setup a server for vnc support and i cant connect to the server. i forworded the port but i cant connect is there something on ubuntu 7.10 blocking the port 1328 [19:02] Lynet, there is nothing comming out, i installed hw info... I found that in grub console i can do vbeprobe, that gave me resolutions in hex i think... For 1280x800x32 its 0x161 [19:02] Shiba, is it downloaded or [19:02] Shiba, mailed cds [19:02] Ward1983: you're right. Can you ask Shiba's last question? [19:02] hm there is some new info [19:02] <^root^> All that drives that I have mounted have root:plugdev as owner, I cannot share a file without root account, even tried chown, but doesn't work... how to make my account say "account123" owner of those [19:02] *answer [19:02] * soundray too tired [19:03] soundray, "How?" :p [19:03] lolzer Reboot, Halt, Suspend and Custom Command that' it?

[19:39] ifconfig [19:39] I have installed a Hardy in my laptop, and I have a temperature problem. It is too hot, in normal use it is almost 70C. [19:39] AlabamaHit: ifconfig [19:39] Back on hoary I could install a kernel image from apt that suited my CPU; is that still doable/necessary with Hardy? [19:39] Thanks :) [19:39] puff: the generic kernel loads CPU-specific optimizations at runtime, so it's not strictly necessary [19:39] pedro__: What kind of laptop? [19:39] nc8430 hp [19:39] soundray: Ah, it does? Cool. [19:39] hi [19:40] anyone from Greece??

[19:40] soundray: Cool. [19:40] lsmod | grep nvida give no result so i dont think its loading [19:41] pedro__: are those people using the same laptop model? [19:41] junkeR: nope sorry, it's a jungle and my web-dev days are long gone i'm afraid ;) [19:41] no [19:41] pedro__: What kind of laptop? I've been seeing high temps with my thinkpad t43p ever since upgrading to gutsy. [19:41] hmm - how can i get s-video _input_ to work @ubuntu? got the ati driver installed via menu, but well - don't know what do to any further [19:41] what would you recommend searching for in google? i can't really find relevant results === platyhelminth is now known as Plath|afk [19:41] dual core 4 gB ram 160 gb [19:42] Metty_: s-video *output* you mean? [19:42] linux friends: what fsck options do I run to repair a corrupted disc? [19:42] laptop rise up to 105C [19:42] no, _input_ i mean [19:42] getting a signal from my receiver -> pc [19:42] works fine under windows using the wdm drivers [19:42] I think that can be a problem whit the kernel and the dual core [19:43] but i am not sure [19:43] jessika: do you have nvidia-settings package installed ? [19:43] Metty_: no idea [19:43] pedro__: Are you sure there have been no other hardware changes recently? [19:43] yes, running nvidia-settings says the nvidia driver is not enables and to run nvidia-xconfig [19:43] are there any known issues compiz desktop effects after upgrading to hardy? enhanced zoom doesn't work, shift switcher doesn't work either [19:44] I have change from windows to linux recentrly [19:44] register hborole [19:44] I used to use linux long time ago :D [19:44] and i did that and it did not help. i have tried the nvidia driver from nvidias website to [19:44] pedro__: does your laptop have a SantaRosa chipset? If so, this page might be helpful: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MacBookPro/SantaRosaFanControl [19:44] hi, i m using ubuntu with compiz [19:44] in windows I dont have any problem with temperature [19:45] jessika: did you try the envyng-gtk drivers ?

[19:45] pedro__: use system monitor or 'top' in terminal to see if there is abnormal CPU usages [19:45] I dont think my problem is the fan [19:45] hi [19:45] pedro__: if there is no cpu usage, you shouldnt get abnormal tempretures either [19:45] pedro__: what makes you think so? [19:45] I dont think my problem is the fan, it is running all time [19:45] what is the command usage for fsck to fully check and repair a courrupted drive? [19:45] It worked ok when booting into the previosu kernel, but i uninstalled it on advice of a thread on the ubuntu-forums [19:45] How can I make (k)ubuntu reconfigure my screen- and mousepad settings again from scratch as if I reinstalled from scratch? [19:46] so, is there any way how i can determine if there is even the hardware capability given under linux? [19:46] iami: 'sudo fsck -y /dev/sda1' Replace /dev/sda1 with your real device name. Make sure that it's not mounted. But judging from your story, you're going to have to reinstall. [19:46] just dropped to say hello ;) [19:46] yes, And because it i think it is a problem of the kernel [19:46] or xorg server :( [19:47] how do you reinstall screen res settings? [19:47] jessika: well, i can't state that it's bullet-proof, but couldn't hurt to re-install and see what gives i suppose, since your system is crippled as it is right now .. re-installing that solved my xorg problems though, running smoothly ever since [19:47] leftheart, go to screen and graphics in system, and change the screen you have. Also, are you running in low-graphics mode? [19:47] Metty_: is this an ATI All-in-Wonder card? [19:47] yeah how do i get out of low graphics? [19:47] yeah, had a lot of customisation i wa shoping to avoid re-doing heh [19:47] i used envy for my ati card [19:47] Dont you hear any troubles about temperature in hardy? [19:47] you can give it a shot ;) [19:48] soundray: ati x800xt [19:48] pedro__: no [19:48] if you are in low-graphics their might be a problem with your graphics driver [19:48] is there an email program for ubuntu that will run in the background and alert you when you get an email? can this be done with thunderbird? if not, how can you do it? [19:48] ok [19:48] I dont Know what i'll do, because it is to hot to the cpu [19:49] tmapj, do you only want a notification of a new email or you want it stored it localy ? [19:49] maybe I try to install 7..10 [19:49] jessika: hehe, yep, take the necessary backup precautions .. and use xorg-edit package to "test-drive" before committing ;) [19:49] but I don like this chamge [19:49] nu werkt het zalig [19:49] !evoloutions | tmapj [19:49] Factoid evoloutions not found [19:49] well i took out my video card and tried my pc w/ just the motherboard vga plug, and i click low graphhics and then i pluged my graphics card back in and now its stuck with 800/600 [19:49] heb ene server2003 en 2 XPs [19:49] !evoloution | tmapj [19:49] Factoid evoloution not found [19:49] oops wrong window [19:49] !evolution | tmapj [19:49] Factoid evolution not found [19:49] :| [19:49] I'm back (and still having wireless network issues). I've reset the hostnames issue (I had added a workgroup name that was causing problems). Now when (in terminal) I type "sudo lshw -C network", both network adapters are found, but the wireless adapter is unclaimed. [19:49] how do I claim it? [19:50] jessika: any guidance from the /var/log/Xorg.0.log btw ? [19:50] tmapj, you could use alltray with evolution, or even with thunderbird [19:50] new1: i want it stored locally because i want to use the email program to make my own spam filters [19:50] Hi all -- did something happen to the Edgy repositories on archive.ubuntu.com? [19:50] !wifi | slacker2, these links are going to help [19:50] slacker2, these links are going to help: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [19:50] Do you use ubuntu in laptops whit kernel 2.6.24.16(7)-generic? [19:50] I looked at it, but I couldn't tell [19:50] any one know how to unclick "keep low graphics" in start up? [19:50] what's alltray? [19:50] tmapj: evolution will do that.. it's built in. [19:50] I'm looking at http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/ and it looks like all the edgy repositories are gone [19:50] tmapj, you can use evolution or thunderbird [19:51] http://alltray.sourceforge.net/ [19:51] new1: how do i enable evolution through alltray? [19:51] can i change my ubuntu installation from 64bit to x86? [19:51] tmapj: execute alltray evolution [19:52] when you have alltray, you just need to type alltray programname [19:52] pedro__: what does it matter to you what other people use? [19:52] Odd-rationale: put that in my startup? [19:52] http://pastebin.com/m1becf239 is my xorg.log [19:52] gooody: only by reinstalling [19:52] can anyone tell me what this kern.log entry means "kernel: [#,#] ssh-scan[#]: segfault at # eip # esp # error 4 where # is some long number that changes with each log entry [19:52] gooody: why do you want to? [19:52] tmapj: only if you want to have it on startup... [19:52] jessika: ok great, i'll look and report back [19:53] how do u increase screen res, from start up ";low res" max is 800/600 [19:53] soundray: i encountered some problems with compatibilities [19:53] i want it to start up with my computer every time it starts up and alert me whenever i get an email [19:53] does anyone know where the Edgy repositories can be found? [19:53] gooody: more specifically, please [19:53] tmapj: you can test by doing alt+f2 and type in "alltray evolution" [19:53] tmapj, put it in sessions [19:53] new1: what exactly should i put in sessions? [19:53] just "evolution" [19:54] ok [19:54] thnx [19:54] np ;) [19:54] but then wont it start up with a big splash screen?> [19:54] no [19:54] It doesnt matter to me, but i think it is a bug [19:54] i want it to startup in the background [19:54] evolution doesnt have a splash screen [19:54] also, as x is starting, the screen "flickers" several times and shows a tty log in screen, which is new [19:54] neW1: i think he wants to have evolution in alltray. so should he put "alltray evolution"? [19:54] soundray: This kernel optimization discussion is good reading. [19:54] well i dont want to see it except inside my system tray [19:55] Odd-rationale, i dont think that will work [19:55] puff: is it? Will have a look at it myself, then [19:55] I have used Netbeans to export all my java files to HTML to preserve syntax highlighting, but when copy-pasting the HTML to OpenOffice Writer, I lose the highlighting, what to do? [19:55] soundray: what is the advantage of 64bit installation from x86? [19:55] tmapj, you cant do that with evoluition (i dont know how) [19:56] see if thunderbird has an option like that [19:56] pedro__: you are claiming that Ubuntu has a bug, but you are not willing to pursue diagnostics with me. That is not on. [19:56] does anyone know of a guide for installing ubuntu from an iso file without burning it? I want to install it to another partition on this cpu [19:56] hi all [19:56] tmapj: have you installed evolution? [19:56] Odd-rationale: no [19:56] Odd-rationale, evolution is installed by default [19:56] tmapj: sorry, i meant. have you installed alltray... [19:56] who can help me with vsftpd? [19:56] gooody: the main one is probably that you've installed it already. [19:56] tmapj, just use alltray and for startup put alltray evolution in sessions [19:56] Odd-rationale: no [19:56] Kode, that was my idea 2 [19:57] Does anyone know if the Edgy Eft repositories have disappeared? Synaptic can't update from them and it looks like they're not where they're supposed to be on the web [19:57] http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/ [19:57] tmapj: well apt-get install alltray [19:57] hi :) can anyone help with the installation of Beryl/Compiz? it seems installed (theres something in the applications menu) but so far.... nothing [19:57] jessika: looks clean allright ... one of those harder nuts to crack it seems [19:57] it says evolution alarm notifier is already in sessions [19:57] gooody: beyond that, it's a bit faster especially with memory I/O intensive tasks like video encoding. And it supports more than 3.5 GB, which 32bit doesn't (or at least not as well) [19:57] soundray: im sorry I was reading about it in google [19:57] what is evolution alarm notifier [19:57] :D [19:57] why wont ubuntu install my video driver automatically [19:57] tell me Waht we cand do [19:57] who can help me with vsftpd? [19:57] leftheart, what videocard do you have? [19:57] tmapj, have you configured evolution ? [19:57] robotic: I think it is no longer supported [19:58] yeah, im afraid that reinstalling and uninstalling the drivers like ive been doing will bork my ststem to where i have to reinstall [19:58] neW1: no [19:58] tmapj, do it ;) [19:58] I need help with a very annoying issue, if I add the xfce battery monitor and then restart my laptop, sometimes when I login I get 'HAL failed to initialize' and then nothing really works, like my wireless card doesn't connect. Is there anyway to solve this or do I have to avoid using that panel item? [19:58] neW1: ok [19:58] radeon hd 2600xt [19:58] shane2peru: edgy eft is no longer supported? dapper is still there [19:58] the screen flickers as x starts which it shouldnt [19:58] soundray: thanks for the info. [19:58] leftheart: basic Ubuntu only installs software that is freely (re)distributable. ATI and NVidia's own drivers are restricted, so they can't be installed by default. [19:58] who can help me with vsftpd pls? [19:58] robotic: Dapper is a lts (Long Term Support) like Hardy [19:58] and even when the hardware manager says the nvidia driver is enabled and in use it isnt and isnt loaded according lsmod [19:58] robotic: dapper is LTS (long term support) [19:59] gooody: yw [19:59] jessika: yep, the display 0.0 bit is the only thing to go on i suppose, weird [19:59] join -m CHaT.iToMa.iNFo [19:59] so, no one having an idea how to get (s-)video input working @ubuntu? [19:59] robotic: I think dapper is still supported for the server edition, but I think the desktop is about to end [19:59] leftheart, you could try to install them through system-admin- restricted driver manager [19:59] shane2peru: wow! so they just take the repositories off the web after that? [19:59] i am running two monitors? [19:59] that is with the proprietary driver [19:59] ahh..i thought it did when i first put it in...i took out card pluged pc i to motherboard vga, click keep low res, and then put 2600xt back in and now i'm stuck in 800/600 mode [19:59] help why did autoupdate remove firefox! [19:59] shane2peru, the supported edition goes for 5 years [20:00] robotic: well, it is a lot of upkeep etc, not to mention bandwidth [20:00] shane2peru, the supported server edition goes for 5 years desktop 3 [20:00] shane2peru: OK, time to upgrade then, I guess :) [20:00] jessika: no it's a syntax thing that double O notation [20:00] who can help me with vsftpd , on private pls ? [20:00] soundray: Well, that may be subjective; I'm not too familiar with this sort of stuff, but I've always been curious about it. Seeing knowledgable people hash it out at a level that's (just barely) intelligible to me is interesting. [20:00] ompaul: I thought the 5 years was only for the servers? [20:00] Anyone able to help with an upgrade issue? I am unable to mount my second ide hard drive, it was ok before I upgraded from 7.10 [20:00] robotic: yes, it is advisable to upgrade [20:00] puff: sounds like exactly the kind of thing I need to read [20:00] shane2peru: what is the next LTS? [20:00] has anyone else had their autoupdate remove firefox for no reason? [20:00] robotic: Hardy [20:00] !hardy [20:00] Hardy Heron is the codename for the current release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS) You can get it now from http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu but please use !torrents [20:01] joshp: why don't you just reinstall it and be done with it? [20:01] soundray: do you have any idea? [20:01] is there and option in X that makes you keep LOW RES and makes you stay under 800/600? [20:01] why would autoupdate choose to remove firefox for me? [20:01] jessika: i'm gonna take a precise look at my xorg.conf, back in a sec, just want to check something display-settings wise [20:01] leftheart: vga driver issues [20:01] pedro__: I've given you all my ideas and the SantaRosa link. Now it's your turn to try things out [20:02] ALI...? [20:02] ok [20:02] thanks. [20:02] who can help me with vsftpd , on private pls ? [20:02] for no reason my ubuntu uninstalled firefox and all related softwares [20:02] joshp: maybe you've removed a package that firefox depended on, so it was autoremoved. I still don't understand what the problem is. Just reinstall firefox! [20:03] jessika: what is the busid in your xorg.conf for the device section ?

It has a physical id but not a logical id. === sferve is now known as fserve_ === blue-frog_ is now known as blue-frog [20:08] ok, thanks [20:08] robotic: it depends on whether you think the servers may have been cracked without the administrators noticing [20:08] does anyone know anything about "ssh-scan" [20:08] soundray: OK, thanks, good advice [20:08] soundray: smarter just to upgrade the whole distro [20:08] Anyone able to help with an upgrade issue?

[20:24] ña [20:24] open a fresh doc in an editor. c/p it in. then do: "sudo ./" [20:24] dan__: just copy the red stuff into a gedit window and save the file on your desktop under the name 'iptables-fix' [20:24] ok thx a alot! [20:24] dan__: gedit is Applications-Accessories-Text Editor [20:25] hello, i'm n00b in ubuntu, how i must register my nickname in IRC? === halloween_ is now known as halloween [20:25] dan__: then open a terminal and run 'sudo $HOME/Desktop/iptables-fix' [20:25] gonzo345: /msg nickserv help [20:25] thx [20:25] question please, how would i go about connecting to another ubuntu hardy pc over a wireless network? [20:26] heh, no change, still stuck in low res mode [20:26] PdUb101: is your network already set up? Using a router? [20:26] PdUb101, through ssh? [20:26] we are both connected wirelessly to a wireless router [20:26] hi [20:27] Kode, ssh?? [20:27] jessika: too bad .. annoying [20:27] !hi | ivan-merida [20:27] ivan-merida: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [20:27] someone know with what package can i control the bright of my laptop screen? [20:27] ivan-merida: just use the hardware buttons on laptop ? [20:27] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Shell [20:27] hi [20:27] yeah. i just don't get why it says the driver is in use when it's not. i dont know what would clock it from laoding [20:27] PdUb101: you can open a shell on the other computer by running 'ssh 192.168.1.2' (or whatever the remote IP address is) [20:28] has anyone got sound working with a via px10000g mainboard? [20:28] in my laptop (fujitsu siemens) i control it a través the keys Fn+Fx [20:28] :) [20:28] Quintin i found it Kmilo!! [20:28] Amilo K7600 [20:28] XD [20:28] so... anybody have experience with softmodems under linux? is it even possible? [20:28] halloween: I'd give up and just get a real modem.. [20:29] /j #pataproot [20:29] I can confirm that these instructions worked for installing the live cd to usb stick with persistent mode for Hardy Heron https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent?action=show&redirect=LiveUsbStick from Windows. I used Windows to format the drive as FAT32 and then resized and added casper-rw in gparted when i booted from the stick. though i had to change the name of the partition with e2label. Email me at subone@subone.org with any questions. [20:29] halloween: some are supported, some poorly, some not. [20:29] it is saying this: sudo: /home/luke/Desktop/iptables-fix: command not found [20:29] jessika: that is a tough one indeed .. although I didn't catch any mode lines in your xorg.conf neither ... taking a second look as we type .. [20:30] Rob, [20:30] When the phones are done, we need to figure out how to get XM back to the on hold music. I asked the phone company about getting XM to play over the PA system, but I haven’t heard anything. If you have any ideas or if you talk to the phone guy, I would like to get that done as well. [20:30] Thanks, [20:30] dan__: then you haven't done what I said, which was to save the file to your Desktop under the name of iptables-fix [20:30] whoops i meant [20:30] bogey_: ?

Just installed Hardy Heron onto it, and have an odd problem with sound and video. It is as if they are both playing extremely slowly. Audio sounds like machine gun fire, and video play at what seems a frame per 5 or 6 seconds. Any ideas what is wrong? [20:31] dan__: once you've done that, it will say 'Permission denied' when you try to run it, so you will have to do a 'chmod +x /home/luke/Desktop/iptables-fix' [20:31] ok another question, whenever i open a program, it doesn't come to the front of the rest of the programs.. how would i go about doing that? [20:32] jessika: are you running a twinview xinerama set-up as your xorg.conf suggests ? [20:32] has anyone got sound working with a via px10000g mainboard on ubuntu hardy? [20:32] PdUb101..are you sure it is behind other programs or some program is confgured to be always on top? [20:32] Can grub boot a usb stick?

[20:34] debian_, not too hard to do, actually your BIOS is in control over usb booting, and to that second question, yup you can :) [20:34] soundray: i mean hadrware is detected and everything [20:34] dan__: did it report any errors?

I got my settings right, I know it. Where is the button "connect to network", I cant find it. Is it automatic? [20:37] Is there a way to export my sources and then import them after installation of a newer ubuntu?

[20:40] PdUb101: are you by any chance running compiz ? [20:40] hi, im trying to write in japanese in amsn, but nogo. As far as I've readed seems that amsn doesn't support it... is this right? or is it a way to? [20:40] Steve-cal: I did. It said "Unable to resolve host Kotipakki" [20:40] glitsj16, yes i am [20:40] JonathanEllis: there is a way of saving a list of everything you have installed so it is easier to reinstall if that is what you mean [20:40] Psychlo, do you mean the TIME field on top ? That is related to how long it has been running... [20:41] thx! i think it worked cuz i did the sudo iptables -L and it said something els [20:41] PdUb101: there's a setting in the "general options" that you might check, i'll look it up, brb [20:41] joaopinto, no I mead that it is using 95% of it [20:41] Latuman: Go to your Applications menu > Accessories > Terminal to get a gnome terminal.

[20:44] PdUb101: if you want, try setting it to "off" and also state what's in the box right below, should be empty to have no window preventing a newly started one from obscuring it [20:44] Steve-cal: It finds the correct chips inside.

[20:46] PdUb101: had the same problem, it sounded familiar :) [20:46] Steve-cal: yeah im trying to search for a phrase INSIDE a set of files [20:46] benyameen: In case no one can help you here, you might try searching ubuntuforums.org because I think I've seen others with that problem.... [20:47] Steve-cal: thank you very much for the reply [20:47] Bits: Probably not. I'm not aware of anything crucial that's dependent on it [20:47] genii: and is a vnc client installed by default or only the server === san is now known as Piojoo [20:47] genii: thanks... [20:47] Bits: vino is the server [20:48] jedimind: Try: "grep -ri "phrase" *" which will search in current directory and all directories under it for files with "phrase" in it. Or you can replace the * with the path to a specific directory to start searching in. [20:48] genii: I figured that much out -- I'm asking if the client is also installed by default... in other words -- how do I connect to vino running on a remote computer? [20:49] Steve-cal: thank you [20:49] can someone please tell me how to run CUBE (fps game) ? i've downloaded the *.TAR.GZ package for unix [20:49] Bits: vino is a metapackage , in which the client is a component [20:49] oh good thanks [20:50] Steve-cal: Done [20:50] Anacranom: hey, whats up with your channel? [20:50] i have just installed sensor applet and restarted system application not running and X sensors too not working.

Don't know the game, just trying to find out if it needs to be built (compiled) or whether it comes with a install script of some sorts .. [20:52] hi all - could someone remind me how to install fonts into gnome in hardy (it changed from fonts:// IIRC) [20:52] I'm looking to downgrade apache to version 2.2.3 (from 2.2.8 that's installed currently). How do I check to see if such a package exists? [20:52] cube usually provides a binary package, but use the repositories version instead [20:52] elliotjhu1: /usr/share/fonts/truetype [20:52] !fonts [20:52] 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 [20:52] jamisnemo, how would you want to do that ? [20:52] erm, i mean, why [20:52] holy shit this is a huge channel [20:53] thanks all [20:53] I want to copy my wubi install to be a real install on my usb stick, is this possibole? [20:53] genii: when trying to uninstall vino i'm prompted to uninstall ubuntu-desktop.... [20:53] im using keytouch to make my keyboard work, but when i try to start it, it gives me the error that not all keys can be grabbed by this program, iv configured the keys the way teyr supposed to be, but they dont work, any ideas? [20:53] joaopinto, preferably I'd cross my fingers and hope that a package was made for version 2.2.3... but the package search tool doesn't show past versions as far as I can tell... [20:53] Latuman: In your /etc/hosts file you should have a line that something like "127.0.1.1 Kotipakki" and in the /etc/hostname file it should say "Kotipakki". Do those files agree on your system? [20:54] jamisnemo, it is not usual to require an older apache2 version [20:54] I can't listen my new music (original) CD in Linux [20:55] Bits: On mine it does not say this when I try. I gives instead a list above of "The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:" then below "The following packages will be REMOVED" and only vino listed === |hfsdo| is now known as hfsdo [20:56] the no longer required ones do not get removed === nenolod is now known as happinessturtle [20:56] Steve-cal: Hostname -file has just kotipakki in it, and hosts file has 127.0.0.1 localhost and 127.0.1.1 Kotipakki.happy.net plus extra ipv6 lines [20:56] glitsj16: it has a readme file, but all it says is "install and run cube.bat" and i've extracted it and cube.bat doesn't exist [20:57] Latuman: You've got something funny going on.... try just typing "sudo true"--what does that return? [20:57] Piojoo: well there you go for trusting readme's ... [20:57] genii: very bizarre. i'm on 7.10... you? [20:57] Piojoo, Add/Remove programs, sauerbraten [20:57] Bits: 8.10, with Gnome and also KDE [20:58] Steve-cal: "unable to resolve host kotipakki" [20:58] Bits: 8.04 rather [20:58] joapinto: but, sauerbraten is cube2 right? [20:58] Ever since I upgraded to 8.04 I have problems accessing samba shares. Is this a bug, is there a way to fix it? [20:58] joaopinto, unfortunatly, I need to try duplicating a CentOS Apache2 install under Ubuntu. CentOS is stuck at 2.2.3 as delegated by the Red Hat higher-ups.... [20:58] Piojoo, yes, which is the current cube [20:58] Steve-cal: Also, can network name (happy.net) have anything to do with it? Also, my WPA2 settings disappear when I go see those settings after enabling them [20:58] Next1, are you using active directory? [20:59] Is it possible to search old packages or does ubuntu always use the latest releases? [20:59] frostburn: yes [20:59] jamisnemo, you can only get the "current" packages [20:59] joaopinto: is it just a different version? or a different game? :S [20:59] Next1, yeah, it's a known issue, i don't have the launchpad link though. To get around it i just mounted the shares manually [20:59] Latuman: That's definitely a problem, and it may or may not be a problem with networking. Where are you seeing "happy.net"? [20:59] genii: that may be the difference [20:59] joaopinto, ok that's what I needed to know. I guess I'll compile from source if I need... [20:59] Piojoo, it's a difference version, no one plays cube1 any longer [21:00] jamisnemo: you can get any package your sources.list states ... if the repository is still active that is [21:00] Has anyone been able to successfully play .mov files in ubuntu? [21:00] frostburn: So it's not just me for a change :) [21:00] Steve-cal: I have used happy.net as a home network name, and so I put it in ubuntu too. Should I ditch it? [21:00] jamesnet, anyway you will get a lot of other differences to CentOS, related to modules like php, recompiling apache2 will not get you CentOS alike [21:00] JacksDepression: yes [21:01] lolzer: Using what player? [21:01] when i do a ls in /dev i get null. what blew up? [21:01] joaopinto: thanx =) [21:01] Latuman: Please be more specific--what do you mean "network name"? Where are you specifying "happy.net" as your network name? [21:01] <__> !vpn [21:01] From more information on vpn please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Gaming_VPN_Using_PPTPD [21:01] JacksDepression: Yes. However, .mov is a container and not a codec. [21:01] Next1, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/209520 there it is [21:01] Launchpad bug 209520 in nautilus "SMB error: Unable to mount location when server configured with security=share" [Undecided,Confirmed] [21:01] glitsj16, is there a website with all of the available packages? (not just the current ones but the past ones as well?) [21:01] JacksDepression: mplayer [21:01] Steve-cal: Network settings -> general. host name is Kotipakki and domain name is happy.net. In the world of windows, this has not really meant anything special, just something common for all computers. Maybe thats not the case here? [21:02] is it possible to have seperate desktop backgrounds on the compiz cube without disabling the desktop icons?? [21:02] packages.ubuntu.com, it's a system that is organized in a tree-like fashion [21:02] hey, anyone having an issue with the updates today? I'm being asked to do a partial upgrade ( the Open Office packages aren't being selected i.e. grayed out.) any idea why?? [21:02] whats the default text editor for ubuntu gedit or something ? [21:02] jamisnemo, installing packages from older versions will break your system !!! [21:02] jedimind: no, vi.... [21:03] Steve-cal: Also, my wireless network is NOT broadcasting essid, could that kill wlan on ubuntu? [21:03] when i do a ls in /dev i get null. what blew up? [21:03] jedimind: jk. gedit is fine... :) [21:03] :) thanks [21:03] Latuman: I haven't messed with setting up a domain name for my computer, since yours is arbitrary I would definitely leave it out. [21:03] hello every1 [21:03] im anewbie [21:03] hey, anyone having an issue with the updates today? I'm being asked to do a partial upgrade ( the Open Office packages aren't being selected i.e. grayed out.) any idea why? [21:03] In VLC: Missing rlc codec; In MPlayer missing mp4a codec. Wtf? [21:03] to ubuntu [21:03] s_spiff, not me [21:03] i did my updates [21:03] PdUb101: that's a tricky one, there's a wallpaper plugin for compiz but you'll have to compile that yourself as it isn't in any of the packages .. and don't forget to turn your present window managers desktop control "off" or it won't work [21:04] Latuman: No, I think if you know the ESSID, then your router does not have to broadcast it for you to connect. [21:04] Steve-cal: I took it out, but nothings changed [21:04] joaopinto: ouuu ok. I wonder why I'm having this issue. started today morning. :( [21:04] Steve-cal: Also, I have typed my essid correctly [21:04] any alternatives mplayer [21:04] is there an alternative to Ebox in hardy (I miss my webmin) [21:04] Latuman: That's because you have other problems--"sudo" doesn't even work on your computer right now. [21:04] glitsj16, any idea where i can find that? [21:04] sharatchandra: VLC [21:05] thanks it has all codecs right [21:05] PdUb101: checking th ebookmarks, brb [21:05] frostburn: I hope this gets fixed soon. [21:05] ? [21:05] hi.. where i can find in info new release 8.04 then new update ?? [21:05] glitsj16, k thanks [21:05] Steve-cal: I just installed 8.04, I havent changed anything yet.

[21:06] better to be root than to reboot [21:06] Latuman: is it installed on its own partition or did you use Wubi/VirtualBox/VMware or something like that? [21:06] k one more thing these midgets [21:06] are also aproblem [21:06] frostburn: Should I install smbfs? [21:06] Steve-cal: I have 1 hd with 2 partitions. one has windows xp and one has ubuntu [21:06] No live-version or anything, a normal install [21:06] im not able to properly install them [21:06] anyone? alternatives to ebox?? [21:06] Next1, yes, i used this command to mount them sudo mount -t smbfs -o username=yourusername,password=yourpassword //192.168.1.1/mountname /mnt/snap/ [21:07] I dont really like ebox much [21:07] Steve-cal: Partitioning gone wrong? I got / partition and swap. First one is ext3 and is "primary" partition [21:07] question: trying to install Hardy on a Dell Inspiron 3500 [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DellInspiron3500]. Boots OK, select a language, main menu. No matter what I try to do, I get the scrolling ubuntu waiting logo, then the screen goes blank (with the exception of the blinking white underscore in the top left corner). Nothing else happens, so I kill the power at that point. Any ideas for getting it booted? [21:07] sharatchandra: midgets? [21:07] yes [21:07] frostburn: thanks! [21:07] can anyone gimme the link to generate sources.list for the repos availale? [21:07] jamrun9: try burning a new disk [21:07] i think thats what they are called [21:07] jamisnemo, your questions reveals that you don't have much experience with package management, at least not on Ubuntu, and linux is not human-proof :) [21:07] do you prefer mplayer firefox plugin to vlc firefox plugin? [21:07] hi :> [21:07] do anyone of you prefer mplayer firefox plugin to vlc firefox plugin? [21:07] Latuman: You need to figure out why you can't even do root commands--anything else you can tell me about how you did the install? [21:07] i mean the one that makes ur destop look cool [21:07] sharatchandra: maybe you mean widgets [21:08] j1solutions: you think it's just a corrupted disk? obviously I can't check with the built-in utility, because that has the same reaction [21:08] s_spiff: sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [21:08] ya [21:08] im sorry bout that [21:08] jamrun9: i'd be 37 cents that the disk is ng [21:08] be=bet [21:08] Steve-cal: I basically just hit "next". Did not select any individual packages, it was straight out of a demo show [21:08] lolzer: ohh i know that, i wanted the link. There's a webpage by Ubuntu, which keeps track of all the repo's online, and generates a sources.list based on your selections. [21:08] do anyone of you prefer mplayer firefox plugin to vlc firefox plugin? [21:08] PdUb101: here goes --> http://forum.compiz-fusion.org/showthread.php?s=feacefb9dcb213bcb1b3d95b2e6b9df4&t=8121 .. not sure whether you'll be able to keep desktop icons though, i'm looking into that combo myself, more precies, it's on a rather long to-do list ;) gdluck [21:08] j1solutions: okay. verifying the .iso, then going to re-burn. thanks [21:09] Latuman: When you open System > Admin > Synaptic, does it ask you for a password, and does it work with the password you give it? [21:09] I need to mount a shared folder just before login, without using fstab... is there a script I can edit that would accomplish this? [21:09] do anyone of you prefer mplayer firefox plugin to vlc firefox plugin? [21:09] widgets any1....which ones good [21:10] Steve-cal: Just by starting it, it does not ask anything. Just a popup telling me what it is [21:10] Steve-cal: Programs like network config DID ask me for my password, which I gave, which worked [21:10] jamrun9: you're welcome. if you need one mailed to you, let me know [21:10] I give up! I'm going to uninstall the firefox package and install 3rc1 from the tar.gz source on mozilla.org! [21:10] joaopinto, there are many package systems that allow you to use older versions of software. Even under Ubuntu, I'm sure it's possible to un-mess up changes even if it requires manually typing every line into ever messed up file from scratch. Linux isn't human-proof but at least it allows humans to fix it when it breaks. [21:11] brunne1: what are you talking about? [21:11] do anyone of you prefer mplayer firefox plugin to vlc firefox plugin? [21:11] Latuman: OK try "gksudo gedit" in the terminal window--does it pull up gedit OK?

If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots.

[21:13] lolzer, it's not a "best" app question [21:13] zo: k, I'll keep looking. thanks. [21:14] jamrun9, hang on i'll try to get it for you too... [21:14] I have an annoying kind of a setting, where if i move my mouse all the way down the desktop, another desktop appears [21:14] lolzer, if an app has better control over the other, then it's not comparing it's justifying [21:14] can anyone help me resolve this ?

[21:15] how did I get stuck with such a horrible version of firefox? [21:15] brunne1: there is. You just haven't gotten it yet. [21:15] Latuman: I can't figure out why your "sudo" seems to be broken, and yet you can use "gksudo" just fine. Try doing "gksudo gedit /etc/sudoers &" and pastebin the contents of that file. Be SURE not to save any changes to that file though. [21:15] tonyyarusso: where? [21:15] Thank you glitsj16.

[21:19] irssi_user, that is my webhosting ssh [21:19] used* [21:19] it's *horrible*! [21:19] glitsj16 how do i verify that? [21:19] irssi_user: that is a setting in compiz. the desktop can flip as on a cube when you mouse to the edge. it can be turned off. [21:19] hi [21:19] speaking of 3.0b5 - are they planning on fixing the memory issues w/ linux distribution of firefox at all ? [21:19] it's not stable and it doesn't render 5% of the web properly [21:19] i have it as a cube [21:19] Apache2 uses /etc/apache2/apache2.conf as it's config file under Ubuntu by default. Where is that location defined? [21:19] jedimind: I gave up on that many years ago [21:19] i m trying the settings, and am unable to find it [21:20] irssi_user: if you are running the "big" ccsm it's in the general options section, i'll check the correct name for the setting i'm refereing to, just a moment please [21:20] brunne1: overall i like ff3 for the most part except the memory hog part [21:20] how do i install nvidia drivers (8400M GT) on ubuntu 8.04 ? [21:20] brunne1: All right then. http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/f/firefox-3.0/ [21:20] irssi_user, it acts weird, first it asks Password (it looks like when you use sudo) and no password seems to work, then after 3 tries it asks the password for user@sshdomain.com... [21:20] how do i install nvidia drivers (8400M GT) on ubuntu 8.04 ? [21:20] <_zo> !nividia [21:20] Factoid nividia not found [21:20] hmm lemme c the general settings again [21:20] !nvidia [21:20] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [21:20] !ati [21:20] irssi_user: general options (the one on top), desktop size tab ... [21:20] Does someone have the same problem as me? when i download a movie with Galeon(doesnt work with firefox) and then open firefox to check YouTube, i dont get any sound. but when i close Galeon and restars Firefox, the sound suddenly works again. Why? [21:20] <_zo> thanks jedimind [21:20] in there, i have vertical desktop size=1 [21:21] hey, how come when I press ctrl-alt-del it reboots the machine instead of just X [21:21] :) [21:21] Latuman: if you type "groups" in the terminal, does it list "admin" as one of them? [21:21] horizontal as 4 [21:21] irssi_user, could it be related to the recent debian ssh bug? [21:21] i want to stop the vertical changes [21:21] Steve-cal: yes [21:22] kane77 no i am not aware of any such bug, i have updated ubuntu and i can ssh very well [21:22] glitsj16: i have the vertical virtual size as 1 [21:22] irssi_user, there is some openssl update that could not be installed because I get hash mismatch each time... :/ [21:22] and still i can go below the screen how do i stop that [21:22] I hope enabling nvidia wont crash my system [21:22] and still i can go below the screen how do i stop that [21:23] hey, how come when I press ctrl-alt-del it reboots the machine instead of just X [21:23] <_zo> gp, it could mess up your x server [21:23] Apache2 uses /etc/apache2/apache2.conf as it's config file under Ubuntu by default. Where is that location defined? [21:23] is anyone running hardy with an ati card? [21:23] <_zo> revilodral, me [21:24] irssi_user: that's okay, maybe some other setting is responsible for that .. hmm, did you activate any screen edge effects for your mouse ? [21:24] trying to completely delete horde3 on my system and reinstall, but if I just apt-get remove it leaves the config files around, so I deleted them, then apt-get installed again but I don't get the default configs back, any ideas, sort of a dpkg newb [21:24] revilodra1: yes [21:24] adwestB0ss_, apt-get remove --purge package [21:24] Latuman: I can't figure out why you can't use sudo, and yet you can use gksudo. Make sure you don't have that happy.com in your domain any more, and try rebooting. Let's make sure that's not an issue. [21:24] tonyyarusso: can i please see ur xorg.conf? [21:24] joaopinto, thanks! [21:24] or zo? [21:24] Steve-cal: k [21:24] glitsj16, i am not aware of any mouse settingg that i configured, may be it is default [21:24] revilodra1: Not now - it's at home. Plus, it would probably not be all that helpful unless we have identical cards and monitors. What's the real question? [21:24] Latuman, you can't use sudo if your hostname is not resolving because you have "broken" your /etc/hosts [21:25] Latuman, do this id and paste the result into http://paste.ubuntu.com [21:25] irssi_user: wait, in the same ccsm you can check that by going into the "advanced search" screen, located on your bottom left in the main view .. [21:25] Rebooting [21:25] tonyyarusso: im having a lot of difficulty getting x to work, and have been playing around with xorg.conf, and using the dpkg reconfigure and the dpkg phigh thing, but to no avail [21:26] ok i m in advanced search, is it in animation selection [21:26] tonyyarusso: errr; no screens found [21:26] irssi_user HAve you treid turning off compiz and making sure it has anything to do with compiz [21:26] mouse edge flip is a setting in compiz config settings manager. you can also turn off the "flip" when moving open applications from one cube to the next [21:27] hm i didnt try that, lemme try it [21:27] lolzer where is the mouse edge flip ? [21:27] <_zo> revilodral, I'm reinstalling so it will be a bit [21:27] Jack_Sparrow: that's sound advice, got carried away ;) [21:27] revilodra1: Try making a backup of your xorg.conf and then deleting the original. [21:27] hmm. I'd like to check the md5sum of a CD... but md5sum /media/cdrom0 won't work, because it's a "directory" (I burned the install CD, the .iso)... any ideas? [21:27] !verify > jamrun9 (read the private message from ubottu) [21:28] ok when i switch off compiz those effects are gone [21:28] it is a check box in compiz config setting manager. go to the desktop cube settings. it's in there. it is on by default. [21:28] tonyyarusso: will it then make a new one automatically to compensate? [21:28] jamrun9, try md5 /dev/ [21:28] ompaul: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15630/ [21:28] irssi_user: well, try the animations section if the advnced search indicated that some screen edge setting is actve .. [21:28] jamrun9, you can find whatevercdis using 'mount' [21:28] How do I break my hosts file without doing anything? [21:29] ty, working on it [21:29] I'd blame wireless lan. It has never worked well anywhere, ever. [21:29] <_zo> latuman, did you change your hostname? [21:29] _zo: "I dont think so". Does that require effort? [21:29] <_zo> or change some samba config stuff? [21:29] Installation finished 1hour ago [21:29] first thing I did was config my wlan, which was inserting essid and wpa2 key [21:30] and thats where I am now [21:30] <_zo> latuman, if you mess with your network card settings it adjusts your hosts file if your hostname changes [21:30] !enter | Latuman [21:30] Latuman: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [21:30] !pastebin [21:30] 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) [21:30] can anyone tell me how to install a a tar.gz file? [21:30] can anyone tell me how to install a tar.gz file? [21:30] hey, how come when I press ctrl-alt-del it reboots the machine instead of just X [21:30] Latuman: Paste the entire contents of /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname for us to see. [21:30] revilodra1: it does some kind of crazy magic that I don't quite understand, but often works [21:31] When trying to install Java I get the following error, (I'd go to the java channel but i forgot my register password): http://paste.ubuntu.com/15632/ [21:31] tmapj: what are you trying to install?

[21:32] how do you install the source inside of it [21:32] tonyyarusso, it reads high resoulution documents [21:32] tmapj: and what's the file name of the .tar.gz? [21:32] tmapj, what software are you trying to install ? [21:32] Joaopinto do you know what repository? Because I have 'all' selected and cannot find it [21:32] tmapj: there's a small but informative howto at http://monkeyblog.org/ubuntu/installing/ (general purpose) === happinessturtle is now known as nenolod [21:32] irssi_user: did you find it?

[21:34] joaopinto, thanks [21:34] tmapj: Install it from the repositories like the system is designed for. System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager, install the djview4 package. [21:34] gah thanks glits [21:34] Jack_Sparrow: I need the ubuntu installer === floating_ is now known as jfjgjgh [21:34] joaopinto: is it really in Add/Remove too? Seemed obscure enough not to be, but didn't look. [21:35] debian_ that site tells how to use iso on usb [21:35] debian_, you need to read some documentation on how to build a bootable usb pen, it is not something you can learn on IRC, there are plenty of docs explaining how to do it [21:35] Latuman: OK I believe I found your problem... [21:35] Can someone do me a favour and try googling for "bdellion"..when I try the resulting page is wierd/broken.. text don't update until I select it etc etc..bdelliom or cdellion works nicely.. but not bdellion.. [21:35] debian_ this sometimes can work Make an iso on usb bootable http://jak-linux.org/tmp/iso2usb.sh [21:35] tonsofpcs, add/remove is just another front-end, all packages are available there... [21:35] erm, was tonyyarusso ^ [21:36] Slart, nothing is broken here [21:36] Latuman: Do a "gksudo gedit /etc/hosts &" and make the line "127.0.1.1 Kotipakki.happy.net" just "127.0.1.1 Kotipakki" [21:36] Slart: "works for me". Which browser? [21:36] joaopinto: No, only some are available there. Look more closely. ;) [21:36] why does my music skip when im doing something? [21:36] joaopinto: just my compter being weird then.. I'm running ff3 on 64 bit ubuntu [21:36] <_zo> uplink, CPU lag [21:36] _zo, how can i fix that? [21:37] <_zo> uplink, get a faster cpu [21:37] tonyyarusso, every package which provides a .desktop file is there :) [21:37] _zo, its 2.0 Dual Core [21:37] Slart, I am also running ff3 64 bits [21:37] lo all [21:37] thanks guys [21:37] joaopinto: Well that may well be, but that's a tiny minority of all packages. [21:37] <_zo> uplink, actually it probably has something to do with the audio driver and memory and CPU stuff, just try to make sure you are using the latest drivers for your audio === knoppix_ is now known as NickC [21:38] _zo, it was a pain in the butt getting those drivers to work [21:38] joaopinto: ahh.. I had a dead npviewer.bin process hanging around.. it works after I killed that off [21:38] Steve-cal: Done. Do I need a reboot or something? [21:38] anyone have a XPS 1530 that can help me out? [21:38] <_zo> uplink, maybe you misconfigured then? Sounds like a hardware/driver issue, not an easy fix. [21:38] i installed the jre from synaptic but java ermbedded objects in firefox still dont display properly. and yes i restarted firefox [21:38] Lynet, joaopinto: thanks for checking [21:38] Slart, that was the flash plugin [21:38] Latuman: I don't think you'll need to, just try doing "sudo true" now. Does it work or return an error? [21:38] _zo: There was a configuration snafu in the default hardy desktop kernel with regards to scheduling - running a cpu hog under an other username (even niced to oblivion) can have adverse effects on realtime stuff like audio.

[21:40] Latuman: OK, so do yourself a favor and don't put anything in the "domain" option again under networking, sound OK? [21:41] _zo, i understand... but why on windows it doesnt do that? [21:41] Hey is the correct room to ask question about how to start help out with ubuntu? [21:41] i.e i switch a workstation and open a chat window and the music skips [21:41] <_zo> uplink, because vendors work hard to optimize their drivers for windows? [21:41] Uplink What did you do to get it working.. It may be all you tried that is the problem [21:41] Steve-cal: Yeah. Not sure I understand why it went wrong? I've just previously used it to just make computers to join a same default workgroup, in this case happy.ne that I myself named.

[21:45] i installed the jre from synaptic but java ermbedded objects in firefox still dont display properly. and yes i restarted firefox [21:45] Uplink Fixing sound.. download this: http://hg.alsa-project.org/alsa/raw-file/tip/alsa-info.sh #and run the script as Normal User... with this command: bash ./alsa-info.sh ... then go to http://en.pastebin.ca/906336 and answer those questions .. then /join #Alsa and provide them with your question and a link to the uploaded file.

Also, I cannot ping my router at 192.168.1.1 [21:50] Travis: samba.. I think it's the only way when windows is involved [21:50] Slart: Actually, if he is going to run it in a subshell with "sh", technically he should use "bash" instead I believe. [21:50] Travis: try !samba for more info [21:51] how can i tell if gtk2 is installed? [21:51] Steve-cal: what is bash?

[22:07] joaopinto: i've done that ... and now?

[22:12] sigh, windows it is [22:12] in the sound settings the mic shows unmuted [22:12] found it, it was in .macromedia (yuk) [22:12] but it doesn't record sound [22:12] you can also uncheck the box that will allow you to drag an app from one desktop to another [22:12] irssi_user: desktop cube ->bindings ->rotate cube - rotate left (click bidings): what edges of the screen are green [22:13] lolzer: all those boxes are unchecked [22:13] then you are good to go [22:13] wild_oscar: nuthing is green [22:13] exit out of the manager and give it a test [22:13] <_zo> might need to reboot? [22:13] ok lemme try restarting compiz [22:13] wait, that's not all of it, it stores somewhere else too.... [22:14] it should already be set. just exit the settings manager [22:14] irssi_user: sorry; instead of "rotate left", check the "rotate flip left" (and right) [22:14] lolzer: i just changed the desktop to kwin and back to compiz, that didnt have any effect [22:15] wild_oscar: rotate flip left and right have the left and right part of screen green [22:15] Catslacks: and have you tried with the madwifi? [22:15] I wish I would have known you were using "K"ubuntu. [22:16] irssi_user: and going to the left and right side of the screen show u the next desktop? [22:16] guess what? i sat amarok process priority to -5 and my music doesnt skipp that bad now [22:16] lluis: That's my problem. I just get a whole bunch of errors when I follow the HOWTO. I'm using a fresh install of 8.04, so if someone could guide me through it that would be great [22:17] Catslacks: have you dowloaded the firmware? [22:17] Catslacks: paste the howto url [22:17] i've been riddled with crashes from firefox for the past 2 days, it used to happen occasionally but now it happens way too often. the crash seems to have something to do with flash because it's always the use of some kind of embedded flash object that seems to crash it. i was hoping someone would already know of this and be able to show me a fix for it. here is the error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15644/ [22:17] lluis: http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/FirstTimeHowTo [22:17] wild_oscar: no it does not [22:17] if any of the compiz gurus can help: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=811973: Some effects (enhanced desktop zoom, shift switcher) stopped working after upgrading to Hardy [22:17] <_zo> amirman84, probably best to reinstall both === gardar`afk is now known as gardar [22:18] irssi_user: is your compiz "desktop wall" activated by any chance ? that one also has several edge-flipping settings you might want to check/uncheck ... [22:18] _zo: reinstall both firefox and flash? [22:18] <_zo> amirman84, thats what i'm thinking [22:18] <_zo> amirman84, maybe just flash first [22:18] glitsj16: lemme check that, but i thought, when i enable cube the desktop wall is disabled [22:18] but lemme double check anyways [22:19] _zo: have you known that to work? if i uninstalled firefox wouldn't i have to reconfigure all my settings and extentions? [22:19] irssi_user: could be, it's been a while since i was in the cube ... [22:19] glitsj16: ok desktop wall is disabled [22:19] !fffc | amirman84: I don't know if this will help.. but anyways...

[22:19] lolzer: is it ok to just change to kwin and then back to compiz? does that restart compiz? [22:20] <_zo> nice slart === dmc^2bian is now known as debian [22:20] _zo: it is, isn't it.. =).. I have no idea if it works.. but it's a quick thing to try [22:20] lluis: all throughout it. There was a lot of "directory does not exist" and such. I can try going through it again if you want. [22:20] you probably erased your chages. check to see if you need to uncheck those boxes again. [22:21] lolzer: i m using emerald on compiz [22:21] Catslacks: with the command ./configure , with make?.... [22:21] gljits16: i m using emerald on compiz [22:21] you don't need to restart compiz for the settings to take effect. you just want to exit the setting manager and continue to use compiz [22:21] wild_oscar: i m using emerald on compiz [22:21] Catslacks: have you got the kernel headers? [22:21] lluis: I don't recall exactly, but pretty much every one gave me an error, haha. [22:21] Catslacks: do you have build-essentials installed? [22:21] lluis: What is that? [22:21] lolzer: i did that my mouse still goes below the screen to open desktop [22:21] BCM43: I remember trying to install that and it gave me an error [22:22] _zo: Slart: that bug has the same effect but it's definitely not the same bug. [22:22] <_zo> amirman84, did you try it anyway? [22:22] irssi_user: so the changes you make in the settings manager have no effect? [22:22] Catslacks: well there is your problem. Sudo aptitude install build-essentials [22:22] -s [22:22] irssi_user: sorry, mate I don't know [22:22] it's build-essential, not build-essentials [22:22] Catslacks: BCM43 is for broadcom chipsets [22:22] lolzer: they do, but the unchecking those boxes did not have any effect [22:22] _zo: i'll try it out, but the error is completely different and that bug seems to be as old as ubuntu itself [22:22] Catslacks: you have to load ath_pci [22:23] I'm installing jEdit via the installer and was wondering where should I make it install the shortcut to so I can access it from a terminal? [22:23] I'm having huge problems with desktop effects myself after uprgading to hardy [22:23] I'm not sure what the problem is then. [22:23] lluis: BCM43 is a user in this chat.

[22:25] BCM43: No s at the end of build-essentials, or at the end of drivers? haha [22:25] glitsj16: thanks [22:25] Catslacks: build-essentials should be build-essential [22:26] hmm... can someone help me with installing vista over ubuntu?

[22:28] yup [22:28] whats code for backscape in unicode table [22:28] remoted in [22:28] bad_cables, that is a shell environment variable, you can set it with export APPDIR=value [22:28] !who | joaopinto [22:28] joaopinto: As you can see, this is a large channel.

[22:30] Catslacks: go to administration --> software sources [22:30] BCM43: I think so [22:30] jadams: in previous versions I had to rebuild screen, but that isn't the case in hardy [22:30] ringer: it is running as we type [22:30] <_zo> !ask | ringer [22:30] ringer: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [22:30] BCM43: Okay [22:30] jrib: well, I'll rebuild screen later I supopse [22:31] !info build-essential [22:31] build-essential (source: build-essential): informational list of build-essential packages. In component main, is optional. Version 11.3ubuntu1 (hardy), package size 6 kB, installed size 48 kB [22:31] jrib: the machine was an upgrade, not a hardy base install [22:31] jadams: well, you don't have to in hardy. Check what version of the screen package you have [22:31] glitsj16: lol cool. i was wondering why, when i start up, it shows a bunch of blank icons. including network manager which is now missing from the top right of my screen [22:31] how would i format ubuntu? [22:31] BCM43: Now what? [22:32] Catslacks: check universe [22:32] jrib: Screen version 4.00.03 (FAU) 23-Oct-06 [22:32] BCM43: where can i see the all the commands like !info or !ask? [22:32] BCM43, he is missing the main repository ! [22:32] BCM43: I'm not connected to the internet [22:32] jadams: nah, what version of the ubuntu package? apt-cache policy screen [22:32] Catslacks: well that would explain it. [22:32] will google [22:32] ringer: i've shut down all panels while using kiba-dock, did you compile a recent version ? [22:32] BCM43: If that matters [22:32] Catslacks: hahahaha!!! [22:32] arrggh...i hear that scary high pitch tone..proly on one of the hard disk..i have four..any test to find out which is making that high pitch tone? [22:32] Catslacks: yes, quite a bit. [22:33] <_zo> eyzi: format ubuntu? [22:33] yes [22:33] Catslacks: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/build-essential download and transfer to your computer [22:33] <_zo> eyzi: why would you want to do that? [22:33] so i can install my vista and then dual boot vista and ubuntu [22:33] jrib: http://pastie.caboo.se/205641 [22:33] BCM43: Okay, haha. now I feel like I'm actually getting somewhere. Give me a minute. [22:33] glitsj16: uh, not sure what ive done lol. i found an install script which did it for me. the About shows me Kiba-Dock 9999 [22:33] _zo:Windows cannot be installed to this hard disk space. Windows must be installed to a partition formated as NTFS. [22:33] oops [22:34] _zo: so i can install my vista and then dual boot vista and ubuntu [22:34] <_zo> eyzi: formatting your ubnutu partition will erase your ubuntu install [22:34] BCM43, Catslacks , that will not work, build-essential is just a meta package listing other packages [22:34] yes i know [22:34] lluis: pm ubutu, and play around with it [22:34] hi, i'm looking for example preseed file for 100% automatic ubuntu 8.04 install [22:34] * _zo is confuzed then [22:34] joaopinto: your right, i forgot [22:34] ringer: same here ... never had the effects you describe though [22:34] i know what formatting is but i dont know how [22:34] anyone have ever done this? [22:34] BCM43: So don't do that? [22:34] ringer: it happens everytime you strat it ? [22:34] Catslacks: no [22:34] BAAAH!!! [22:34] jadams: make sure t_Co is really set to 256 with just ':set t_Co' inside vim in screen [22:34] bad_cables: please sotp [22:34] _zo: i want to install windows, then install ubuntu with it [22:34] BCM43: Okay so what should I be doing? lol. [22:34] **stop [22:35] pm ubuntu [22:35] Catslacks: hold on one sec [22:35] hehe [22:35] glitsj16: only when i start the computer. i then can Quit Kiba and restart the dock then it solves the problem, but it is a bit annoying [22:35] maybe it doesnt make sense, but i wanna be able to load vista aswell as ubuntu [22:35] eyzi, installing windows natively is not ubuntu/linux related [22:35] BCM43: what you mean? [22:35] lluis: i mean ubottu [22:35] if you install .deb without satisfying dependencies, can you retroactively install them? [22:35] <_zo> eyzi: its called dual booting [22:35] <_zo> !dual [22:35] Factoid dual not found [22:35] bad_cables, yes you can [22:35] ubottu [22:35] yea, that's it [22:35] ??

[22:36] !dual boot [22:36] anyone noticing ff3b5 pulling up random options from the right-click menu? i.e: sometimes i'll right click a link (even if i hold down the right mouse button) and i'll get a bookmark prompt, or a save as prompt or a properties prompt.

[22:37] bad_cables interesting question...wonder what if you re-install? would it prompt for dependencies? [22:37] eyzi: you're just installing windows, it has nothing to do with ubuntu. windows installs where you tell it to (in particular, over ubuntu) [22:37] not sure if this is a ff3b5 issue or a synaptics issue--but it only seems to manifest in ff3b5 [22:37] nite guys! [22:37] eyzi, you dont want to install it on Ubuntu, you want to do a windows clean install that is what you have explained here some minutes ago, do not bring Ubuntu into the subject [22:37] glitsj16: okay thanks anyways. i also dont have any of the physics effects. any idea how i can activate those? i have looked in the preferences but found nothing [22:37] oh, n/m [22:37] this is a known issue [22:37] ringer: that's a known issue at the moment, the physics engine is unavailable in 9999 === nand is now known as nand_ [22:38] sorry.... hmm.. ill read the link from !dual boot thingy and come back here if i didnt see how to do what i want to do [22:38] all of my games and screensavers flicker. How do I fix this? [22:38] brb.. x) [22:38] glitsj16, have you tried AWN? if so do you like Kiba better? [22:38] <_zo> eyzi: didnt someone mention to you the ##windows channel? === nand_ is now known as _nand_ [22:39] <_zo> caesal, fix your display drivers [22:39] ringer: AWN and Cairo-Dock are both going under fast development , i've tried both tes [22:39] Hey I need some help with WINE [22:39] _zo what's there to fix? [22:39] _zo, yes they did, and when i got there they didnt wanna help because i mentioned ubuntu [22:39] ringer: but on my humble PIII system it's too much :p [22:39] XxScHw4RtZxX: best to just ask your question [22:39] pretty ironic [22:39] !wine | XxScHw4RtZxX [22:39] XxScHw4RtZxX: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. [22:39] <_zo> caesa1: if you have poor performance on your display then you probably need different/better drivers for it [22:39] eyzi: go to ##windows please [22:39] <_zo> eyzi: lol [22:40] jrib: we already had this conversation [22:40] glitsj16: awn is too much? is kiba better for your resources? [22:40] BCM43: So no ideas, eh? This is a headache. [22:40] <_zo> !ask | XxScHw4RtZxX [22:40] XxScHw4RtZxX: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [22:40] can someone please tell me how to restart my keyboard, my control and shift keys stoped working [22:40] _zo well, the performance is just fine. Compiz works A-ok, and games are at as good framerates as they ever are. It just flickers. [22:40] BCM43: cool... [22:40] Catslacks: one sec [22:40] *have [22:40] Whenever i try to run GuildWars, it loads it all and then it has a box that says my drivers are not supporteed and if i want to continue or not. whatever i click (yes or no) it just closes WINE all together [22:41] _zo: try !anyone [22:41] <_zo> caesa1: hmm, maybe it's your monitor drivers? [22:41] _zo I should mention that it didn't happen before I updated to hardy [22:41] navetz-> try tput reset [22:41] XxScHw4RtZxX, try #winehq, and check the compat db [22:41] <_zo> BCM43: better! [22:41] ringer: yes definately, it chucks away at a steady 15 MB .. Cairo-Dock was very nice last time i checked though, i've settled down a bit on the dock-changing road ;) [22:41] it says guild wars all versions is compatible [22:41] XxScHw4RtZxX, so try their channel [22:41] amenado; ok [22:41] Catslacks: not sure how you would go about getting all of them. [22:42] Catslacks: what is it for? [22:42] _zo hm, I don't know. I've never had to worry about monitor drivers. Ever. It's plug and play. === _nand_ is now known as nand__ [22:42] navetz-> did it work? [22:42] amenado; didn't work [22:42] how do i get xmms? [22:42] BCM43: What do you mean? [22:43] suRs, xmms is no longer available on the repositories, it is unsupported, use an alternative player [22:43] riinger: did you try putting kiba-dock to 'sleep' for a few seconds in your boot-sequence ? [22:43] glitsj16: should i give cairo a try? do you think it may be worth a switch? i do like kiba, but im always up for new things [22:43] Catslacks: im not sure how to help, try asking in this channel [22:43] BCM43: I haven't been able to get my wireless working for 3 days. I've tried to install the madwifi drivers and I get errors. [22:43] <_zo> caesa1: no idea then...usually flickering games means bad drivers, are you sure you are using the best driver you can for your chipset? [22:43] witch player can i use to lissen to musik from webbpages and so? [22:43] navetz-> try tput -T vt100 reset [22:43] like winamp? [22:43] BCM43: I have been... for three days now, haha. I've had at least 7 people try to help me. [22:43] Catslacks: what wireless card? [22:43] !players | suRs [22:43] suRs: Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based). Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine - See also !codecs [22:43] BCM43: D-Link DWA542 [22:43] ringer: yes it is really nice, if your system can take the load, go for it [22:43] joaopinto: i tried to look whats wrong with mei external hd, but dmesg hasn't given me further information why it don't want to mount the volume ...

[23:16] ringer paste only line 60 in here [23:17] if anyones interested Im trying to get seeds for the BigBuckBunny short movie http://download.blender.org/peach/bigbuckbunny_production.torrent [23:17] Jack_Sparrow i dont have 60 lines. unless line 60 means something else? [23:17] <_zo> !ot | ideasman-42 [23:17] ideasman-42: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [23:17] these are the files used to render it - all the art assets and Id like to have enough people seeding them for the online release tomorrow [23:17] Guys, Ubuntu won't recognize my dvd as the ubuntu cd. What can I do? [23:17] hello, I put the tomboy thing, how do I use synchronise with webdav ? do I put some server host or something ? is there some generic existing service for that ? [23:17] Gokul, please do not follow the wrong assumption that other bugs which have similar symptoms are the same issue [23:17] ubottu, ah, okay, np ;) [23:17] Factoid ah, okay, np ;) not found [23:17] lol [23:17] ringer copy and paste everything into the pastebin// [23:17] !paste [23:17] 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) [23:17] hey, is there any way to use xfce4 with ubuntu and not use the default configs you get with ubuntu that make it not look like xfce? [23:18] Gokul, if you do believe that your problem was already reported then you should subscribe to an existing bug instead [23:18] _zo: So I need a BitTorrent client on the W2K machine. Will that cause Firewall issues? My machine is closed as I do DOD level development. [23:18] <_zo> Bizzeh: if you install xubuntu-desktop you will have an xfce desktop [23:18] joaopinto: please do not follow the wrong assumption that since it's affects the system sound and wireless connection that it is hardware specific [23:18] Jack_Sparrow: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15674/ [23:19] _zo: yes, with a terrible default config, rather than the config (the default xfce stuff) that i get with gentoo [23:19] <_zo> TBotNik: you don't need bitorrent you can download the alternate CD from ubuntu site over http, just look for the alternate checkbox [23:19] ok, i tried to check the repo listings for apt under ubuntu server, but it seems the universe and multiverse package repos are there. which repos do i need to get stuff like irssi? [23:19] ringer: ok, taking a look .. brb [23:19] thats why i asked if i could use it WITHOUT the configs that come with ubuntu [23:19] <_zo> Bizzeh: just overwite your config then? [23:19] Gokul, that is not an assumption, that is a fact, hardware specific does not mean hardware fault, it means an issue related to your hardware configuration [23:19] _zo: Couldn't find it, but will look again! [23:19] Jack_Sparrow turns out i do have 60 lines..i wasnt counting the spaces [23:19] 2.6.24-17 kernel explanation, anyone? :( === scott__ is now known as Qster [23:19] so the answer is no, i cant get it already vanilla? i HAVE to deal with the ugly version? [23:20] <_zo> TBotNik: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download see the little box that says "Check here if you need the alternate desktop CD. This CD does not include the Live CD, instead it uses a text-based installer." [23:20] ringer It is a really really bad idea to use the debian repos [23:20] I have a memory problem. Something is using all of my memory, and I don't know what and it doesn't go down unless I log out/restart [23:20] Lichig0, have you checked "top" ? [23:20] ringer, would you install nissan parts in a toyota? [23:20] joaopinto: how do you know it's a harware mis-configuration issue? [23:20] top? [23:20] ringer As a new user.. you are looking for serious trouble that we will not be able to help you fix when it blows up [23:20] Jack_Sparrow, ^^ check that [23:20] _zo: Found it on a mirror site. [23:20] <_zo> ompaul: I would [23:20] Jack_Sparrow aahhhhhh [23:21] ompaul Check what? [23:21] Jack_Sparrow: okay, i had no clue [23:21] Jack_Sparrow, my comment [23:21] _zo: Know it's right at 696MB [23:21] Lichig0, top is a terminal utility which display processes resources usage [23:21] I burned Ubuntu to a dvd. When I try to apt-get build-essential it asks me for to insert the cd even though the dvd is already in. What can I do? [23:21] ringer: change the last line in that file .. the line with the cairo-dock reference [23:21] Lichig0, it will show you the processes using more cpu and mem [23:21] ringer, would you install nissan parts in a toyota? <<< yes, because they are quite compatable... [23:21] ompaul Ah.. was typing and not reading [23:21] ok im new to Ubuntu and im having trouble using Command line options.. if there a How to guild i could read or can someone tell me what i need to do please.. help === ^miaw is now known as seide [23:21] <_zo> !command [23:21] Factoid command not found === seide is now known as seelisch [23:22] <_zo> !commands [23:22] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).

That's why I'm not. [23:22] ringer dont act like a kid [23:22] Catslacks: Or go to System > admin/prefs > Software Sources and add your DVD there. [23:22] think and try..

[23:23] Catslacks: sorry, can't help you- don't know enough about using the cd :( [23:23] joaopinto, I have looked in System monitor, and that shows me the memory for things, and there is nothing using enough(not even everything total) to take up 91% of my memory... [23:23] Catslacks: Thanks... sorry you're still having problems. [23:23] Lichig0: where are you seeing your memory being taken up? Is it in the gnome applet (system monitor applet)? [23:24] ringer: did you find the part you need to change ? last line, last word .. [23:24] ringer http://paste.ubuntu.com/15676/ is how I would edit that then sudo apt-get update [23:24] joaopinto, yea [23:24] My laptop just went haywire.

Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [23:24] Steve-cal: How do I add my dvd? [23:24] Jack_Sparrow: okay, do you suggest i just replace your pastebin with my document? [23:24] the graph is almost maxed out but in the process list there isn't anything using that much [23:24] !find pine [23:24] Found: pinentry-doc, pinentry-qt, alpine, alpine-dbg, alpine-pico (and 5 others) [23:25] Has anyone else had my problem? [23:25] TBotNik: is it a 64bit sempron? [23:25] glitsj16: yep, just replace the word main with cairo-clock [23:25] ringer or just ## the last 4 lines of yours [23:25] but there are about 40 things is the list under N/A for memory [23:25] Lichig0: what you are probably seeing is that most of that memory is being used a temporary storage. It's just there holding recently accessed information so that it doesn't have to look back to the hard drive, or other place for it immediately [23:25] Or can anyone else help? [23:25] <_zo> Jack_Sparrow: pine == alpine :) [23:25] semperon 2800+ Yes I think so, but not sure will check specs [23:25] !idiot _za [23:25] Factoid idiot _za not found [23:25] Jack_Sparrow okay, should i just delete line 49 then? [23:25] Lichig0: I have found that process to be normal on ubuntu machines [23:25] no, it's used memory [23:25] is there a reason that the upgrade to 8.04 changed one of my HDD's from hdc1 to sdc1? [23:25] Jack_Sparrow: line 59 rather [23:25] i doubt it would be 64bit if its a 2800 [23:26] Catslacks : sudo apt-cdrom add sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install build-essential [23:26] 8% is cache 91% is used [23:26] Lichig0, do you feel any performance decrease ? or you are only concerned about the number shown on the system monitor ?

[23:32] Catslacks : i don´t know if it work but you can try with http://nonetdebs.unixpod.com/ [23:32] _zo: Hard to tell 32 vs 64 the way AMD writes their spec sheet, but it does support 64 command set, etc. so gotta be 64. [23:32] Steve-cal: Well I don't have any problems now you've armed me with sudo xkill! :) [23:32] Lichig0, the memory is either free or used, when its used, it can be used for binaries, data, cache, whatever, it is all used mem [23:32] davi3: i didn't know someone could be a problem [23:33] from italy [23:33] :-) [23:33] Steve-cal: So I had 2 just come 'n say Hi!

And there is nothing in Network Settings but "Point to point connection" and a telephone beside it. [23:41] zvacet, that did it, it was set to use pulse audio. Any idea why VLC would do that? I have specifically set it to Alsa but it still doesn't work [23:41] insomnia_: could you check whether you have a backup of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?

Yeah fought that forever and then gave up. AMW is made by China company. Took forever to find contact info. Sent EMail and they popped back with "Fine it's certified on Ubuntu". I said "xorg.conf" please. They said sorry already trashed it. Dang if you cert it on Linux, you post the xorg.conf on your web site. DUHHHHHH!!!! some people are clueless!! [23:42] Steve-cal: Sorry hon, I changed my mind 'n nicked the last cold bottle of Becks beer! :D [23:42] shadowman: yeah that's the proper name :) Good luck ^^ [23:42] HEY! how do i configure VNC??

BTW try legend2440 advice for getting your DVD to work, and we'll go from there. [23:42] insomnia_: Then restart X [23:42] dmsuperman_ : I don´t use VLC so I don´t know try to do something in VLC preferences [23:42] yup, definite decrease in performance, I almost froze... [23:42] zvacet, alright, thanks anyway :D [23:42] Steve-cal: I just did. It said to insert a disc. [23:43] insomnia_: yes [23:43] Yes VNC, what are the ports that i need to forword [23:43] The newer versions of X do not need the config file unless you have some off the wall stuuf [23:43] does anyone else have a emerald themer windows that is too large for his monitor and won't resize ? [23:43] dmsuperman_ : Mplčayer isn´t that bad ;) [23:43] m_newton: check the wiki page ubottu gave you [23:43] Hey, if i was to dual boot windows and ubuntu, How much space would windoze need to run? [23:43] *Mplayer [23:43] <_zo> HackOfChris: try asking #windows [23:43] davi3: what version of ubuntu are you using(kubuntu, xubuntu, 8.04, 7.10, 32bit, 64bit) [23:43] HackOfChris: 4gb min. 10 gb would be good... [23:44] is it possible to autorun a cd in ubuntu if it has an autorun.inf file? [23:44] zvacet, meh, it's alright I just like VLC a bit more, mainly for the small things (like double click the video for fullscreen) [23:44] Using X configuration file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf". [23:44] ERROR: Unable to write to directory '/etc/X11'. [23:44] or is that completely windows specific? [23:44] i moved it, but is the error normal? [23:44] dmsuperman_ :It was just a joke [23:44] Catslacks: if you open the dvd in nautilus can you see build-essentials.deb and right click to install? [23:44] _zo, thanks [23:44] AcornAcorn: Yes, you just need to set it up in your desktop [23:44] Catslacks: Do you see eth0, wlan0, or similar listed in here: /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules === defs|Abd is now known as Abd67 [23:44] zvacet, well it went over my head :P [23:44] Odd-rationale, so 20g should be more than enough space? [23:44] Hi .. I have a AMD64 dual core @ 1800 Mhz .. but it starts at 800 Mhz only under ubuntu 8.04 .. i have to set the frequency to 1800 Mhz Manually .. do you think i should report the bug ? [23:45] <_zo> ok bye all [23:45] legend2440: I downloaded build-essentials and burned it to a disc. I tried to install it but it asks for the ubuntu cd. [23:45] dmsuperman_ : good then [23:45] insomnia_: What did you try to do? [23:45] glitsj16: Using X configuration file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf". [23:45] neofax: should running the .inf file work? [23:45] ERROR: Unable to write to directory '/etc/X11'. [23:45] HackOfChris: for xp? defintaly [23:45] I need some help. [23:45] neofax: sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf [23:45] insomnia_: no it isn't .. try the GUI way if you feel more comfortabkle with that [23:45] vbman11: ubuntu 7 [23:45] neofax: exaclty what i did [23:45] AcornAcorn: What desktop are you using Gnome or KDE? [23:45] d34d10gic: yes ? [23:45] neofax: gnome [23:45] what's the developer name or w/e for 8.04? [23:45] davi3: 7.xx 32bit or 64bit [23:46] Steve-cal: No [23:46] Steve-cal: It's just some comments [23:46] I just tried to switch to Ubuntu Hardy Heron, but it's the slowest thing in the world for me. [23:46] davi3: 7.04 or 7.10 [23:46] insomnia_: Do what I said and sudo mv /etc/X11/Xorg.conf to /etc/X11/Xorg.conf.bak [23:46] Odd-rationale, yes xp, was thinking about keeping xp or vista just for my engineering school crap [23:46] neofax: no other way around [23:46] I used to have the version 7, and it was working great, so I really have no idea why it's acting so slow. [23:46] _zo: RealTek driver options are 1.) Packet driver3.44, 2.) Unixware 7.2.x, 3.) Solaris 7, 8, 9 and 10, 4.) Beta rtls driver (V1.20), 5.) FreeBSD 1.20, 6.) Sllackware 8.0, 7.) SCO Unix 5.0.X. Which is best? [23:46] hey, does anyone know how i can make gkrellem like in DSL ? there it has a transparent theme, with white fonts and graphs... id also like to only have clock/wifi/du meter and battery.. or if i can use similar apps to get the same effect [23:46] neofax: if I run it it prompts me asking if i want to run it or view it but nothing happens when i run it [23:47] generalsnus: conky [23:47] Catslacks: OK let's back up to the beginning... How did you install Ubuntu Hardy? And is it on its own partition or in Wubi or similar? Please give some details of your install... [23:47] AcornAcorn: In System go to Administration and there should be a setting to enable CD autorun. I use KDE, so I will have to find it. [23:47] Anyone know what's wrong? [23:47] d34d10gic: what is slow ? [23:47] AcornAcorn: What is on the CD? [23:47] Everything. [23:47] conky looks real nice.. but i have no clue how i edit the conky config file [23:47] Steve-cal: I burned it to DVD and restarted with the DVD in the drive. And hit install. I used the guided installer and used the whole drive. [23:47] vbman11: version 7.10(gutsy) kernel linux 2.6.22-14-generic gnome2.20.1 [23:47] neofax: was that a problem? [23:48] neofax: it's just opening a html file [23:48] neofax: it would be nice if i could just run the mounted cd though [23:48] Catslacks: OK fair enough. When you do "sudo lshw -C network" does it show your wireless/ethernet cards? [23:48] davi3: it should work... try running it in the terminal [23:49] neofax: like be able to rightclick>autorun [23:49] insomnia_: No, but like I said. X does not need a config. So basically move the config out of the way to see if X can guess your settings. If so, problem solved. If not one step at a time. [23:49] davi3: after saving everything of course [23:50] I'm trying to use the "sound recorder" app. it gives me five options for "Record from input" and I don't know which one to pick. I have my microphone plugged into the analog 1/8" jack on the back of my computer. [23:50] i have a question about http://g-scripts.sourceforge.net/ [23:50] vbman11: which command run by terminal? [23:50] AcornAcorn: Nautilus should show the contents of what is on the cd. Also, you could try doing ls /media/cdrom in the terminal [23:50] Choices are "IEC958", "ADCMux", "Digital", "InMux", and "InVol". Which should I use? [23:50] I ask because none of them seem to work. :) [23:50] Steve-cal: Yes, my wireless comes up only. [23:51] davi3: applications->accessories->Terminal then type "wine" then enter [23:51] anyone use the scripts? [23:51] neofax: oh, i can browse the cd fine, i just meant it would be nice to be able to just autorun it rather than running the file [23:51] Hi. [23:51] davi3: tell me what the terminal says [23:51] How do I remove GDM ? [23:52] Hey I have an issue with my wireless, The light refuses to come on... the wireless itself is connected but the light doesn't come on... I'm on a dell inspiron e1405 [23:52] AcornAcorn: I guess I misunderstood what you meant. autorun a program is a windows thing, not linux. [23:52] I don´t want to uninstall it, but just not be my login manager. [23:52] anyone with RealTek AC97 driver load experience? [23:52] vbman11: ok install again sudo apt-get wine [23:52] I want to login to the console and then do startx. [23:52] AcornAcorn: Linux can autorun mp3 cds, movie cds and such, but not say games. [23:53] neofax: so i moved the file out to my home directory for now.... i ran nvidia-xconfig again and it made a new config file [23:53] indio: sudo apt-get install kdm [23:53] All, download options from RealTek are 1.) Packet driver3.44, 2.) Unixware 7.2.x, 3.) Solaris 7, 8, 9 and 10, 4.) Beta rtls driver (V1.20), 5.) FreeBSD 1.20, 6.) Sllackware 8.0, 7.) SCO Unix 5.0.X. Which is best? [23:53] neofax: is this cool? and when do i "restart X? [23:53] What is kdm ? [23:53] insomnia_: OK, now just hit ++ [23:53] i can't write to an external usb hdd that's connected to a router. I can see it and browse the drive via samba but not write files to it, creating folders works. My guess is that the permissions are wrong but how do i add a user or make it writeable please? It's ext3 format and the cmd "adduser" does not work [23:53] indio: It is a login manager like gdm [23:54] indio: Except it is for KDE [23:54] indio: kdm is a different login manager, what are you trying to achieve ? [23:54] vbman11: tanks [23:54] good morning, does anyone know what the deal is with those >60 console-kit-daemon processes? [23:54] I want to login to the console. [23:54] davi3: welcome [23:54] neofax: my computer start processing something... and now what? nothing popped up or anything... do i run nvidia-xconfig again? [23:54] indio: Strike that, it is a login manager that uses the KDE+QT libraries [23:54] No graphical login manager. [23:55] Anyone familiar with the networking options on VirtualBox? [23:55] Catslacks: I'm not sure what to do because you've got some really basic problems--you're ethernet card is not recognized and even though lshw shows your wireless card, the system didn't assign a logical name to it (wlan0) in the /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules file... [23:55] Can somebody help me troubleshoot a xfce4-session segfault? [23:55] There must be somewhere to choose this. [23:55] insomnia_: In the terminal do sudo nano /var/log/Xorg.0.log and look for the error [23:55] Steve-cal: well, maybe this build-essential thing will do something? [23:55] hello [23:55] can anyone help me or give me a link for help on how to add the repos i need for stuff like irssi? i've looked on ubuntu wiki and it always takes me back to the one page that doesn't have much help, the main repos are already enabled [23:55] !hi | Jyri-C [23:55] Jyri-C: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [23:55] Steve-cal: It asks for a vd in the drive '/cdrom/' [23:56] indio: You can try sudo apt-get remove gdm [23:56] Anyone on the dell issue? [23:56] Hey, I just did some stuff to make Ubuntu play more than one sound channel at once, and I think, because of it, there is now static coming out of one speaker channel (left). It's only in Ubuntu. [23:56] mordof: you mean modifying software sources? [23:56] mordof: Have you tried doing sudo apt-get install irssi? [23:56] BCM43: no i mean adding repo's to apt [23:56] neofax: yes, package not found [23:57] Hi. I am just about to do a clean install of Ubuntu 8.04. I have previously used 7.10. I am looking to partition three hard disks for speed and flexibility. I have two 40GB hard drives as sda and sdb. I also have a 6GB disk as sdc, which I plan to use for swap space and not much else. I would like to leave room for windows in case I ever decide to install it (you never know I may need to experiment with a windows installation from time to time). I [23:57] mordof: Have you googled for a irssi repo? Or is it in getdeb's repo? [23:57] ok im new to Ubuntu and im having trouble using Command line options.. if there a How to guild i could read or can someone tell me what i need to do please.. help [23:57] Anyone know if crossover office would handle WOW better than wine does? [23:58] Brother_NoX: What exactly are you trying to do? [23:58] neofax: every time i've installed ubuntu before there's always a couple repos that don't get put in by default that have a bunch of other stuff in it like that. not looking for a repo specifically for irssi or something [23:58] I have a stupid question for the ubuntu devs [23:58] Steve-cal: Is there any way to MAKE it look at the dvd? [23:58] Catslacks: I doubt the build-essential thing is the magic bullet at this point, but it sure won't hurt if you can install it. [23:58] why on earth does the default *server* install automaticaly setup a nic for DHCP? [23:58] Catslacks: Add the dvd as a repository [23:59] mordof: do sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list and uncomment the universe and multiverse lines. Then sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get install irssi [23:59] to have higher fps use commands in launcher options -dx8 -noshaders -heapsize xxx (where xxx - amount of memory to allocate ex. if you have 512MB ram, type in -heapsize 256000 it will use 256MB of your ram.) ...so that Guild wars runs smother [23:59] JonathanEllis: 6 GB for swap seems a bit overkill .. how much RAM do you have on board ? [23:59] I just did some stuff to make Ubuntu play more than one sound channel at once, and I think, because of it, there is now static coming out of one speaker channel (left). It's only in Ubuntu. [23:59] HackOfChris: I would just use plain wine, theres a guide to setting it up on WineHQ, http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=11329 [23:59] Arrick: I'm not a dev, but I would guess that it would enable easier use of apt(itude). [23:59] !google | Brother_NoX [23:59] Brother_NoX: google is the helpers' friend; many newer users dont have the google-fu yet; For GNU/Linux: http://google.com/linux
