[00:02] and why's he sorta repeating some stuff... [00:02] !offtopic | jabagawee [00:02] jabagawee: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [00:02] Kris07, System -> Preferences -> Prefered Applications [00:02] hey back with another noob question,but how would I play a windows game using wine - you'd think it would be self explanitory , but yea [00:03] joelito: Applets don't work properly for me, and trying to run one generates a very ominous warning. [00:03] !wine | brody [00:03] brody: 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. [00:03] then you set vlc there as your video player [00:03] is it true that Ubuntu only runs on the 64 bit sparc processors ? [00:03] what game, brody? [00:03] how can install xmms? [00:03] Infinito_, VLC isn't listed there [00:03] pukeko: no [00:03] pukeko, and x86 [00:03] andy56_uk, then is not linux fault, isn't it? ;) [00:03] troll [00:03] helğ me plz [00:03] brody: install wine from repos, then from ~/ run wine /path/to/setup.exe [00:03] Does anyone here know how to recover deleted files? While emptying my trash, I saw under the list of things deleted many files I had not wanted to delete. I clicked "cancel", but the files were no longer in the trash. [00:03] * sorry - as opposed to 32 bit sparc processors ? [00:03] talntid - ha, it's actually halo 1 my friend said I couldn't run it in linux - I want to prove him wrong. . [00:04] how can i install xmms? [00:04] when they say x86 or x64 systems, what does that mean? Does that mean dual core and up? [00:04] brody: yeah, it can run in wine... [00:04] brody: Step 1: Install Cedega. Step 2: Collect on bet. [00:04] Zeker, no it means pIII and up [00:04] isn't cedega non-free? [00:04] ha -yeah, I've looked at cedega. . . [00:04] =/ [00:04] candan you may be able to install an old beep media player deb, its a port of xmms [00:04] does anyone know a good xml forgot to use for an internal format that can i can transform it to pdf, tiff, xps, etc? [00:04] talntid: Free speech, not free beer. [00:05] you're a wierdo. [00:05] where i live, free beer flows down the streets. [00:05] joelito: Actually, yes. The Java VM is platform specific, and if it doesn't work, then it's the platform that's the problem. Also, the error I get is "GNU Classpath's security implementation is not complete. HOSTILE APPLETS WILL STEAL AND/OR DESTROY YOUR DATA!" [00:05] other people I asked said I had to pay for cedega, while something like "playonlinux" is free [00:05] brody: wine will run your Halo [00:05] talntid: thats urine [00:05] crap! :( [00:05] Zeker: x86 refers to the processor family - the Intel 286 is fundamentally similar to all Pentium-compatible processors sold today. [00:06] oh ok because I see the 64 bit vista, x64 xp... and I even saw x86 on a vista OS, I got confused [00:06] .. so i can not install any ubuntu onto a sparcstation 5 correct ? [00:06] Zeker: x64 refers to 64-bit, and is a bit misleading. [00:06] andy56_uk, so blame them :) === Michael_ is now known as mikeg3 [00:06] Could someone tell me how to make VLC Media Player my default player? [00:06] joelito: Blame GNU you mean? [00:06] pukeko, there are community supported versions [00:07] Kris07, right click>props>open with [00:07] Kris07: select custom, and add vlc into the filed [00:07] When i try to install a data base from open office it says that i got a wrong jre , how do i get a jre that work for mee :-) [00:07] ActionParsnip - sorry I'm fairly new to linux, and I don't even really know how to do that. . . [00:07] Zeker: All Intel-compatible processors (Cyrix, Via, AMD, Intel, etc.) are x86. The AMD Opteron is an x86 64-bit CPU. [00:07] I have an old version of xp, so I don't think it will take advantage of my quad core [00:07] anirudh0: what do you mean ..? [00:07] andy56_uk, yeah, sure, why not :) [00:07] pretty pathetic, but yea [00:07] spasticteapot, so x86 refers to the chipset? [00:08] So you are saying that Linux is the problem then? [00:08] I'm dual booting and had to reinstall Windows XP. How do I reinstall the grub bootloader? [00:08] finally pidgin using msnp14... a little hackish, but it is all good [00:08] Zeker: its the applications that take advantage of dual/multi core [00:08] !grub | mikeg3 [00:08] mikeg3: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [00:08] does anybody know of a web dev application that uses templates similar to dreamweaver? [00:08] joelito: So you are saying that Linux is the problem then? [00:08] um [00:08] !bluefish | CITguy08 [00:08] Factoid bluefish not found [00:08] koshari, so my old xp should work ok with my multicore machine? [00:09] bluefish is boring [00:09] Maybe this would be easier: could someone pastebin grub's menu.lst file? [00:09] andy56_uk Linux is not the problem.. there are issues with java... [00:09] Zeker: No. Processor family. For example, the 601e, G5, and various other IBM processors used in Apple machines are "PowerPC" processors, while Sun machines use "SPARC" cpus. [00:09] darthmarth37 sure.. one sec [00:09] Could someone tell me how to mount .bin/.cue extensions I looked around and found they are paired. But how do i mount them? [00:09] andy56_uk, well..could be yours too :p, I mean I bet that there are many ways to do you what you are doing, and since this is not java support, you might also complain there XD [00:09] !paste [00:09] 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) [00:09] darthmarth37 sudo apt-get install pastebinit && cat /boot/grub/menu.lst | pastebinit (Provide Pastebin link in channel) [00:09] CITguy08: bluefish afaik..but far from DW [00:10] Pici: not sure how to auto install suggested with aptitude. but package called wajig lets you install with suggested packages. [00:10] koshari, Thanks [00:10] thnx, I'll give it a look [00:10] ActionParsnip - alright thanks I'll try and figure it out. . [00:10] darthmarth37 Use shift to paste that into a term. [00:10] darthmarth37: http://paste.ubuntu.com/19743/ [00:10] jack_sparrow: yes there are issues with Java, but the Linux/GNU VM implementation is stating categorically that it is not complete and has huge security holes. [00:10] Could someone tell me how to mount .bin/.cue extensions I looked around and found they are paired. But how do i mount them? [00:10] Jack_Sparrow: I'm looking for someone to pastebin a working example of a default menu.lst; I don't have one for Ubuntu yet and I want to add one. [00:10] legend2440: Thanks, aptitude's full front end let me easily select the suggested to install too [00:11] ActionParsnip: Thanks. [00:11] spasticteapot, these labels make it all confusing... [00:11] darthmarth37 Sure I will paste mine [00:11] andy56_uk this is the wrong place for discussionon that.. [00:11] Geez, that thing is long. [00:11] ff [00:11] ff [00:11] ff [00:11] Zeker: Look up "x86" on Wikipedia. [00:11] Could someone tell me how to mount .bin/.cue extensions I looked around and found they are paired. But how do i mount them? [00:11] darthmarth37 let grub make one [00:11] Pici: what is aptitudes full front end? [00:11] spasticteapot, I did and I got even more confused haha. I was reading gibberish. [00:12] darthmarth37 http://paste.ubuntu.com/19745/ [00:12] legend2440: The ncurses front end [00:12] koshari: I'm adding to an existing grub config, not creating a new one. [00:13] hey Jack... can you give me Keira Knightley's phone #? kthx :) [00:13] darthmarth37: ok so you do have one, [00:13] joelito: jack_sparrow: I am not complaining. I'm trying to understand the issues with Linux, expecially Ubuntu. I'm a new convert from Windows, trying very hard to switch. The way things have been going over the past week, I'm on the verge of switching back. As this is a general Ubuntu channel, and my issues are specifically with Ubuntu, I thought it would be appropriate to look for advice here. [00:13] when I try to install packages: sudo apt-get update I get 404 errors [00:13] any ideas? [00:13] darthmarth37: again though grub should detect other OS and append [00:13] Moin Moin [00:13] Could someone tell me how to mount .bin/.cue extensions I looked around and found they are paired. But how do i mount them? [00:13] andy56_uk: what is your problem on making switch ?= [00:14] Falling-Inferno: loop? [00:14] andy56_uk this is the support room... People with specific issues and trying to get it installed.. not for discussions like yours [00:14] kashari: I don't think that will work. Because its not ISO. [00:14] koshari: I have one for Gentoo atm. With the examples people pastebinned I hope to add Ubuntu to the existing list as well. So what you're saying it that I can point something at the existing file and it will non-destructively append to it? [00:15] Falling-Inferno http://snippets.dzone.com/posts/show/2699 [00:15] Sorry, I'm new to Ubuntu. [00:15] andy56_uk /join #ubuntu-offtopic or java or any of the other more appropiate channels [00:15] anyone? [00:15] andy56_uk: see, just because something is wrong the code is not ubuntu or linux fault, isn't it? [00:16] darthmarth37: my understanding if you run grub it will create a menu.1st file with the detected OSs, back up your exitsing menu 1st file and give it a go [00:16] jack_sparrow: This didn't start as a discussion, I was asking for support. My comments on the problem were in response to specific questions from joelito. I'll move out of this channel as you request though. [00:16] andy56_uk Thank you [00:16] I'm having some issues with xorg, I just swapped my video card to a Radeon 9200SE and I'm trying to get dual monitors setup (perferably with 3d..) but no matter what I used for my xorg.conf I get thrown to safe graphics mode [00:17] koshari: I suppose it's worth a shot. Now I just have to figure out how to boot Ubuntu in the first place. [00:17] I'm having problems with a command line tutorial at http://zardoz-technomage.es/blog/3d/187/ with this line of code sudo ln -s /usr/aw /aw< [00:17] any help please [00:17] is there a way to use the kernel from ubuntu studio in the regular ubuntu release? [00:17] thanks in advance [00:17] darthmarth37 http://www.techtalkwiki.net/restore_grub_on_linux [00:17] ShawnRisk : system>admin darthmarth37 use the live disc [00:17] andy56_uk: imagine if every language error was brought here as "issue"... >.< [00:18] Ah, of course. I can just chroot from Gentoo. [00:18] I should not ask that question hear [00:18] I am new to linux and especially new to compiz, I have it downloaded and installed. I loaded this theme ( Dark Ice - http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Dark+Ice+Emerald?content=70284 ) But only my window boarder on open programs changes, nothing else so aside from this irc program with the darker boarder, I do not see the rest of that theme. What have I done wrong? [00:18] ? [00:18] Hey, mag mir einer helfen und erklären, wie ich wine so einrichte, dass ich damit auch spiele spielen kann? (wc3, trackmania nations forever) Ich bekomme immer Fehlermeldungen/Grafikfehler etc [00:18] darthmarth37 keep in mind that you can have multiple menu.1st files, however the only one relevent is the one the bootloater points to [00:18] Joelito Agreed, but he moved on to a different channel.. [00:18] Looking for a silver bullet here...hehe is there a command that will get a mac address from an ip address? [00:19] gwp Many of the themes that you will find will not be complete. just borders or icons etc.. few will have everything you see in the screenshot [00:19] zvacet: only first two are checked [00:19] hey i have a strange problem.. i've found a few threads on it.. but not what i need... i can only sometimes have multiple sounds running.. like rythmbox and vlc will play.. but if rythmbox is open and anything is on pause... sounds will not play in a browser.. nor will my im sounds come thru [00:19] Wicks Sounds more like you are trying to hack someone [00:20] Alright, i've got a problem with wine. . for some reason the display is really huge and I can't move it to fit my desktop or resize it or anything. . I've also tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but nothing. . [00:20] jayde_drag0n: are you using alsa or os [00:20] oss [00:20] Jack_Sparrow: to change the gnome look, what program would that be and what website should I go to, to find those themes [00:20] ShawnRisk : check them all(exept of source ) [00:20] brody /join #winehq [00:20] koshari: where so i find the answer to your question?

[00:27] n [00:28] ShawnRisk : now you telling me that you use edgy what you want to do upgrade [00:28] capped [00:28] thx [00:28] I've got an issue. I have an nvidia 8500 GT. I went to Administation -> Hardware drivers and enabled the device driver listed there ("NVIDIA Accelerated graphics driver (latest cards)"). It downloaded a driver and made me reboot [00:28] ecn_art: you can try QtParted [00:28] ShawnRisk : and yes,Edgy is not supported anymore [00:28] ecn_art: it's a clone of Partition Magic supposedly [00:28] whats the big deal [00:29] zvacet: capped bandwidth [00:29] as soon as I rebooted it told me i was running in low graphics mode. So I configured manually and tested via the button. That works, but I clicked okay, and it went back to low graphics mode [00:29] ShawnRisk Edgy Distro upgrade... edit /etc/apt/sources, change all edgy to feisty, apt-get update ; apt-get dist-upgrade [00:29] What kind of computer do you have? [00:29] under hardware drivers it says "In Use" but enabled isn't checked. Checking it and rebooting sends me through the same loop [00:29] ZeeStorm: Its its own parition editor, nothing to do with partition magic. [00:29] [00:29] Trevor_: hm? [00:29] It's not exactly brand-name heh [00:29] lol oh [00:29] What is it that gives you icons and Ubuntu menu like in Dark Ice - http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Dark+Ice+Emerald?content=70284 [00:29] thx zeestorm [00:30] Pici: I know, but it has a pretty gui, and people call it a partition magic clone [00:30] i have the same card, but i have a HP [00:30] Fingel: okay mabye its lying.. i opened the preferences of pidgin.. and went to sounds.. and hit test.. i can hear all the sounds.. but its not actually DOING it [00:30] the card came out of a gateway [00:30] Jack_Sparrow: you mean /etc/apt/sources.list? [00:30] Anyone know how to get this card working under hardy heron? [00:30] jayde_drag0n what do you mean? you hear the shounds but they dont play when they are supposed to ? [00:30] ShawnRisk Edgy Distro upgrade... edit /etc/apt/sources.list , change all edgy to feisty, apt-get update ; apt-get dist-upgrade [00:31] seems like a motherboard problem [00:31] can anyone point me to the relevant forum post? the ones i've tried doesn't work [00:31] ShawnRisk Thanks.. typo in my notes...

[00:44] how can I find the gcc version used to compile my kernel?

[00:46] ubuntulog: hmmk, weird.. works fine for me. [00:47] ecn_art: ok, you're using gnome. [00:47] ecn_art: have you tried running gparted?.. its the p artition editor for gnome. [00:47] can any of you help? how can I find the gcc version used to compile my kernel? [00:48] yes from applications, system tools, qparted [00:48] Why can't I make more than 1 primary partition in my RAID5? [00:48] ecn_art: Qparted and Gparted are different [00:48] I don't have a system tools folder [00:48] its qtparted [00:48] IndyGunFreak: Even if I log into my AIM 6.0 on my WinXP Partition and add a group then relog-in using Pidgin the new group never propogates to Pidgin's list [00:48] alden: System -> Administration -> ... [00:48] hi all im having problem with my svideo showing black and white only is that corectable? [00:49] alden: best to browse the menus a bit [00:49] can someone help me with installing wine ? I cant even configure it [00:49] ecn_art: i know that.. [00:49] i need it to shrink my partitions sizes the one im using for ubuntu and its swap [00:49] how do i go back to the default .conf files for a given package? i tried removing it and installing it again but it didnt work [00:49] clausi: sudo aptitude install wine [00:49] k [00:49] im sure u do just making sure it wasnt gparted [00:49] clausi what's wrong w/ wine [00:50] toed: sudo aptitude purge and then sudo aptitude install [00:50] well when i type ./configure it returns configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables [00:50] ecn_art: open a terminal, and type "qtparted" w/o quotes, and see if it gives you any errors. [00:50] clausi - or you can open synaptic package manager and install from there [00:50] clausi: installed build-essential? [00:50] okidoki is runnig now [00:50] anyone know how to get tv output to be color and not black and white [00:51] dunno :p [00:51] thx indygunfreak [00:51] !packages | clausi [00:51] clausi: You can browse and search for Ubuntu packages using !Synaptic, !Adept, "apt-cache search ", the "apt:/" URL in KDE, or online at http://packages.ubuntu.com - Ubuntu has about 20000 packages available, so please *search* for an official package before installing things in awkward ways! [00:51] ecn_art: no prob, but tis silly to run qtparted.. thats really a KDE app,b ut as long as it does what you want [00:52] gparted is awesome, does all you need [00:52] nostal...have you tried changing the channel in your software [00:52] rampageoberon: i prefer the gparted live CD's, but i agree.. its awesome. [00:52] from channel 3 to 4 or something like that [00:52] Hmm, though the latest stable livecd of gparted didn't work for me :( [00:52] why he installed qtparted i guess will remain a mystery [00:52] IndyGunFreak: yep, same here [00:52] rampageoberon: have you tried partedmagic?.. its even better. [00:53] IndyGunFreak: no, i just tend to use gparted livecd [00:53] erm, I can't seem to switch workspaces in ubuntu [00:53] rampageoberon: the partedmagic live CD, is really nice, the GUI is a little friendlier than gparted [00:53] clicking on the workspace icon does nothing [00:53] nor does the hotkey [00:53] IndyGunFreak: i suggested it based off of a google search.. i've never had to do partitions in linux, so was going with what sounded best at the time [00:53] IndyGunFreak: had to go back to using gparted-livecd-0.3.4-11 as the newer 0.3.6-7 didmn't load :( [00:53] but theya re the same thing more or less rampageoberon [00:53] ZeeStorm: what are you talking about? [00:53] so whats the minimun recomended for my ubunut partiton and for the swap? [00:54] IndyGunFreak "why he installed qtparted i guess will remain a mystery" [00:54] IndyGunFreak: i'll have a poke with parted magic next time i'm doing taht [00:54] IndyGunFreak: thanks :) [00:54] ZeeStorm: why would you suggest qtparted, when he's running gnome? [00:54] anyone know how to fix black and white display on svideo out [00:54] what is difference between alternate and desktop? [00:54] !alternate | mhiku [00:54] mhiku: The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate checkbox on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal - Torrent at http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ubuntu-8.04-alternate-i386.iso.torrent [00:54] IndyGunFreak: because i didn't know about gparted :) [00:54] ZeeStorm: sigh.. [00:54] IndyGunFreak: and nobody else was offering advice.. so i googled it for him, lol [00:55] ZeeStorm: you could always do !gparted next time :) [00:55] mhiku: basicallyl, desktop is the "live cd".. youc an runt he OS from the cd, test hardware, run programs, etc.. alt. install cd, is a text based installer.. only [00:55] ubottu will be happy to enlighten them :) [00:55] rampageoberon: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [00:55] rampageoberon: like i said.. if only i knew about it, lol :) [00:56] ZeeStorm: thus why giving advice, when you yourself don't know what your'e talking about, is dangerous.. [00:56] what exactly is Linux headers generic? and linux image 2.6.24-18 generic do I need to install that? [00:56] rampageoberon: I hav looked through the menus, and also did a search of the file system. no qparted was found [00:56] symbol lookup error: ./file: undefined symbol: __glutRoot what would something like this mean [00:56] prettyricky: thats your kernel [00:56] i have 64mb ram can i run xubuntu? [00:56] mhiku: it'll suck. [00:56] l3d, the glub library is missing [00:56] prettyricky: so yes you want to install it if you want a newer kernel [00:56] mhiku: you'd probaly be better of w/ fluxbuntu [00:56] i have installed 8.04 and it says I need to update? [00:56] alden is it installed? [00:57] IndyGunFreak: i just said he could try qtparted.. i had told him i never used it or anything -.- [00:57] l3d, *glut [00:57] whats the minimum recommended size for ubuntu partiton and for the swap?? [00:57] alden: sudo aptitude install [00:57] alden: i usually suggest gparted [00:57] freeglut3 is installed in synaptic [00:57] well I updated it once and I had to reinstall ubuntu cause I would not start after the install [00:57] idk, I just download and installed ubuntu last night [00:57] ecn_art: swap should generally be 1.5-2x your memory [00:58] i have 3gb so about 6gb? [00:58] ecn_art: no [00:58] umm its correct size then [00:58] ecn_art: 6gigs would be al ittle overkill [00:58] How to restart x server from console? [00:58] but if you want 6gigs, it won't hurt anything [00:58] ecn_art: if you have 3gb ram, use say 1gb swap [00:58] sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [00:58] zaputr: if youre using ubuntu/gnome/gdm ^^ [00:58] rampageoberon: idk, I just download and installed ubuntu last night [00:58] hi guys, quick question here: Will accessing my windows partition through Ubuntu (saving to, playing music/videos from etc.) corrupt anything if thats the only space I use for storage? [00:58] ecn_art: 1.5-2x your system ram, is just a general rule.. you'll be fine w/ 1-2gigs [00:58] ecn_art: with 3gb i guess you could run without swap, but always good to have swap [00:58] alden: sudo aptitude install gparted [00:59] In the bootmanager it had 2.6.24-18 and 2.6.24-16 I had to shows from either one of those 2. Is that right? [00:59] rampageoberon: not to mention the installer pisses and moans if you don'[t have a swap [00:59] umm thx [00:59] prettyricky: yes [00:59] prettyricky: if the latest one works fine choose that [00:59] matthew: id seriously suggest using a simpler filesystem for storage that both OSes can read. linux usually wont hurt ntfs these days [00:59] Windows flash when they try to get my attention. Where can I turn it off? I forgot. [00:59] matthew: it should be fine as long as its unmounted properly i think [01:00] ok im sorted for now i think ill be resizing my drives and downgrading vista to xp aswell, thx indigunfreak [01:00] rampageoberon: ok, I did it [01:00] rampageoberon, why does ubuntu recommend 4gb for standard install then? [01:00] Kakurady: turn what off? [01:00] Well its working good, but I have the update manager and I have over 160 updates, so all those updates are not necessary? [01:00] sparr: My windows partition has most of the space, I only have 15 gigs on ubuntu, so I try to keep everything on that drive to save space [01:00] anirudh0: that is 4gb or hard drive space [01:00] drive=partition I mean [01:00] ecn_art: good luck, just make sure your stuff is backed up.. that sounds like it will be a task [01:00] anirudh0: 4gb memory is a *lot* for day to day use [01:01] rampageoberon, :)..i thought 4gb was hard disk size [01:01] IndyGunFreak: Windows will flash black a bit when it tries to "stalk" me, for example if somebody mentions my name in IRC. I remember there's a setting for this but can't find it anymore. [01:01] anirudh0: min 4gb or hard drive space yes, what exactly were you asking me? [01:01] Kakurady, flash where..in the dock? [01:01] rampageoberon: ok, I did it; now where do I go? (sorry, noob at linux.) [01:01] alden: System -> Administration -> gparted [01:01] anirudh0: No, the whole windows flashes [01:01] Shoot, update-grub isn't going to help at all. [01:02] rampageoberon, i saw that you said 3gb is enough..i thought you meant hard disk space..i was mistaken [01:02] alden: System -> Administration -> Partition editor maybe [01:02] got it, thanks [01:02] anirudh0: ah okay, i meant ram [01:02] My pendrive do not mount automatically when is inserted... If I run manually ./S12dbus restart then, is mounted.. What to do to this service be listening usb??? CD is automatically automounted... [01:02] rampageoberon: got it, thanks [01:02] The kernel isn't on the same partition as menu.lst. [01:02] alden: to edit the root partition size you will need to use a livecd [01:03] rampageoberon: I need to find the gcc version that was used to compile my kernel [01:03] morning all [01:03] alden: the gparted that you have now can only be used for other drives [01:03] rampageoberon: I need to find the gcc version that was used to compile my kernel [01:03] alden: why that specific version? [01:03] alden, mounted filesystems cant be touched by gparted..since / cannot be unmounted, a live cd is necessary [01:03] okay, random problem just now: I minimized my windows but I don't see them in the tool bar in either desktop space. [01:04] uname --help will list command switches to ID your environment. [01:04] matthew: you need to add it to the panel i think [01:04] matthew: using gnome? [01:04] matthew: the window list applet [01:04] Why is the Ubuntu Installer so braindead with RAID? [01:04] matthew: add either window list, or window selector(which i think is far superior) [01:05] oh, duh. [01:05] rampageoberon: I'm install a patch for my wireless card for you with aircrack-ng; I need gcc-#.#.*_* [01:05] thanks guys [01:05] alden: can't the latest gcc compiler do> [01:05] feh. none of the compiz hotkeys are working [01:05] !build-essential | alden [01:05] alden: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [01:05] My pendrive do not mount automatically when is inserted... If I run manually ./S12dbus restart then, is mounted.. What to do to this service be listening usb??? CD is automatically automounted... [01:06] oh yeah alden have you installed build-essential? [01:06] If you're able to hack it and maintain stability, it's either 3.3xx or 4.3xx. [01:06] anirudh0, IndyGunFreak: Nevermind I found it (System - Preferences - Sound, third tab) [01:06] rampageoberon: no, it comes up with kernel/gcc errors [01:06] Other variants aren't robust enough. [01:06] i have freeglut3 and libglut3 installed so what now [01:06] i think so, hold on [01:06] rampageoberon: i think so, hold on [01:06] alden: do sudo aptitude install build-essential [01:06] alden: and then try compile it [01:06] rampageoberon, some stuff compiles with older compilers only..gcc 3.4->4.1 is particularly troublesome [01:06] same question as yesterday: how do i tell if my wireless card is broken? [01:06] when trying to play a wmv file i get this error and installed various video players and dll codecs plugins from the repos: The playback of this movie requires the following decoders which are not installed:video/x-asf-unknown decoder Windows Media Speech decoder [01:06] If you are using fluxbox and your menu is auto loaded is there some way to have it made explicit so it is easy to modify without recreating a whole new text file? [01:06] Will update-grub work if menu.lst and the kernel lie on different partitions? [01:06] harrism: does it come up in lspci? [01:07] anirudh0: oh [01:07] darthmarth37, should [01:08] alden, i have no idea how you can find the gcc version...the changelog does'nt have that info..unless the dbg kernel package has something.... [01:08] does anyone here use eMusic, and understand why I can't install the eMusic toolbar in firefox? [01:08] IndyGunFreak: no [01:08] IndyGunFreak: correction yes it does [01:08] matthew; i use avant-window-navigator.. but then again i don't have a bottom toolbar on my desktop. AWN takes place of that. [01:08] harrism: hwo is it identified? [01:08] ok, I have gotten compiled [01:08] Intel corp pro/wireless 2200bg rev 05 [01:09] alden: build-essential fixed it? [01:09] harrism: that should work out of the box. [01:09] yah [01:09] I need help with my Ubuntu installation [01:09] alden: nice, so guessing it wasn't installed then [01:09] I burned it to a cd, installed it on a second hdd and I can't boot to it whatsoever [01:09] IndyGunFreak: yes it should -- it was working until two days ago; whole system got corrupted, upgraded to hardy, and th wireless does not wrok [01:09] now when I apply the patch, I get another error :( [01:09] symbol lookup error: ./file: undefined symbol: __glutRoot what would something like this mean [01:09] diff: unrecognized option `--git' [01:09] diff: Try `diff --help' for more information.

I upgraded to HH and still cant get it to work [01:18] Starnestommy: Thanks [01:18] any ideas? [01:18] hauk: what exactly are you trying to do [01:19] rampageoberon, Also , so i can update my server, ya gksudo gedit doesnt work as well. kate does, but i like gnome. Vi is for complex stuff. And i want sudo nautilus because i need to place files in /var/www and well, thats long and hard code for terminal [01:19] is the proper way to disable restricted drivers is to click on the icon in the taskbar and disable? or just unload with rmmod? [01:19] hello [01:19] IndyGunFreak Just add another two panels so I can have 4 workspaces. So then I can setup the Desktop cube. [01:19] harrism: please specify what wireless card you have when you ask a wireless question. Thanks in Advance :) [01:19] m_newton: vi is simple :), and you can update it from terminal which is far easier [01:19] hauk: if you have 4 windows in that desktop, then you have 4 desktops. [01:19] Why can't I create more than one partition in a RAID5? [01:19] hauk: change it to 2/2.. that should give you 4 desktops [01:19] m_newton: its not long code in terminal at all [01:20] its a intel pro wireless b/g 2200 [01:20] can anyone help me to see the files on my windows network?? [01:20] m_newton: as a seasoned user i hope you'd understand that having root run nautilus isn't a good idea [01:20] A real quick question: does /dev/disk/by-id/ exist when running Ubuntu? [01:20] like i said, worked fine under gutsy till 2 days ago, then duced the rack all of a sudden [01:20] IndyGunFreak: I changed rows = 2 and columns = 2, no luck. [01:20] bye guys [01:20] rampageoberon, care to eloborate, personally i have once used vi, i prefer nano over it. [01:20] I can see the systems...but not the shared doc/files on the systems [01:20] hauk: can't explain that, sorry.. works fine for me. [01:20] m_newton: i've been running linux for a month only and would never dare open nautilus as root [01:20] IndyGunFreak: Np, thanks anyway [01:21] is there something that I need to enable or turn on [01:21] hauk [01:21] rampageoberon, why not? [01:21] what's your problem? [01:21] m_newton: nano is a lot easier i agree, elaborate about what? [01:21] i'm recieving an error when i try to copy files to my backup partition, here they are [01:21] how do I release and renew my IP in ubuntu console ? [01:21] harrism: i'm betting your wireless device is toast for some reason. [01:21] blackened: I only have two workspaces. I have Desk 1 and Desk 2. I've already got Workspace Switcher Applet running, and when I click on Preferences, I only have option to change rows and column values [01:22] mib_d1d4wr, dhclient? [01:22] IndyGunFreak: how to determine conclusively? [01:22] rampageoberon, eloborate on how vi is simple. compared to nano and gedit ofcorse [01:22] 4.829476] ata3.00: status: { DRDY ERR } [01:22] harrism: that i don't know. [01:22] pukeman, yeah I am a dhcp client [01:22] mib_d1d4wr: sudo dhclient -r then following with sudo dhclient [01:22] hauk: and you want to add more workspaces? [01:22] m_newton: the security of the system is based on the fact that all things are not run as root, you pretty much open up a lot of stuff to be messed up running the whole thing as root rahter than a text editor and the config file [01:22] m_newton, rampageoberon: Please keep the editor debates out of this channel. [01:22] thanks [01:22] if it worked fine till two days ago, and all of a sudden doesn't work anymore.. well.. [01:22] Pici: sorry [01:22] blackened: yeah, two more. So then I can activate the desktop cube :) [01:22] also i think i might have a failing disk -- how to determine that conclusively [01:22] heh, like i said, dhclient. [01:22] what he said [01:22] select 4 columns and 2 rows [01:23] hey Pici you were trying to help me earlier [01:23] Why is GNOME so freaking slow? [01:23] sorry, 1 row [01:23] that worked for me [01:23] harrism: there's no way to determined that conclusively.. [01:23] mib_d1d4wr, becuase XFCE is faster. [01:23] disks fail over a period of time. [01:23] blackened: Nope =/ [01:23] Thundarr: Yes, I got pulled away from my desk, sorry. [01:23] hauk: :S too bad, have to go [01:23] I tried XFCE too and its slow as GNOME, best I found is fvwm-crystal [01:23] IndyGunFreak: is there a way to get an idea? theres got a be a disk utility or someting [01:23] i just turn all that extra fx stuff off. [01:23] harrism: not that i know of.. and its still not going to be conclusive. [01:24] rampageoberon, well, what if you wanted to put files in a restricted directory, you would use sudo nautilus (when i say sudo asume gksudo when neccesay) [01:24] Pici... is there someone I can e-mail about my issue with not being able to see my files on my windows share [01:24] don't need translucency to be elite.... [01:24] or shadows [01:24] Thundarr: Not really... best to just be patient and continue asking in here [01:24] harrism: if you have a failing disk it could be causing the issues your having with your wireless. or they could be 2 seperate issues. most disk manufacturers provide a utility to test the HDD you may want to visit their website [01:24] Pici or what else I can do [01:24] m_newton: sudo cp, or sudo mv [01:24] pukeman, even with all extras removed XP windows manager is faster than GNOME :((( [01:24] can anyone help me compile projectM? [01:25] hello, i'm having an issue with my usb flash drive, when i plug it in, its shown mounted on the desktop, however when i actually open it a pop up states that the drive was 'deleted' [01:25] mib_d1d4wr, wtf man? i dunno, you using a 486/66 or something? [01:25] anyone know how to fix my issue with not being able to see the files on my windows systems [01:25] linuxmonkey: how do i tell what type of disk it is? [01:25] here is another useful error [76957.686746] ata5.00: configured for UDMA/133 [01:25] rampageoberon, longer than dragging... [01:25] hello [01:25] hey Sakitel [01:26] wich program do I should use to listen music? [01:26] Does -anyone- here use mdadm and RAID5? [01:26] nah pukeman, that's too fancy for me, I prefer a spanking new 8086 [01:26] Can ubuntu boot from an jffs2 partition? [01:26] .win 6 [01:26] try different video driver? check if anything is eating cpu cycles? [01:26] Sakitel: rythmbox is good [01:26] Thundarr have you mounted the filesys [01:26] Sakitel: *rhythmbox is good [01:26] Woot, I can switch audio from USB earphones to built-in speakers and back without stopping the music [01:26] GNOME is just slow, it's a memoryvore [01:26] * pukeman shrugs [01:26] when in doubt, use console. [01:26] sakite mplayer > comand line .. or download the codecs to lissen mp3 files [01:26] or should I say memorywhore? === deny is now known as santi [01:27] sakitel: have you looked in Applications> sound& video [01:27] ...so use something else... [01:27] gnome is fast [01:27] if you have a descent computer [01:27] can someone help me get a USB thumbdrive working please? [01:27] koshari: how do I mount the filesystem [01:27] zelrikriando, thats the problem its like vista's aero [01:27] * DIL has the same windows share problems - can mount windows but no visible files [01:27] needs too much resources for nothing [01:28] some people need pretty to smile at work [01:28] hello, i'm having an issue with my usb flash drive, when i plug it in, its shown mounted on the desktop, however when i actually open it a pop up states that the drive was 'deleted' [01:28] sorry the question is -->wich program do I should use to listen radio on internet? [01:28] haha, windows, that os has totally gone down the pooper. all that work to release garabage. [01:28] how do i add a new user [01:28] pukeman, I agree [01:28] mrvdv: sudo adduser [01:28] harrism: sudo lshw [01:28] Linux needs GAMES! [01:28] I have to dual boot only because of games :S [01:28] there's something for that.. [01:28] pygame [01:28] wine? [01:28] i think? [01:29] mib_d1d4wr, it has games! [01:29] mib_d1d4wr: linux has games, Accessories > Games [01:29] i would like to automount my memorystick [01:29] LOL [01:29] write games [01:29] hey [01:29] I'm talking about commercial games [01:29] mib_d1d4wr: linux has games, applications > Games [01:29] mib_d1d4wr, not sure you can compare Gnome with Vista...Vista is much more greedy than Gnome I think [01:29] !repeat |Lucky| mib_d1d4wr [01:29] Lucky| mib_d1d4wr: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [01:29] I tried half-life2 with wine [01:29] tons of problems [01:29] i've played WoW on wine ,runs pretty decent. [01:29] OMG! 1,256!!! [01:29] must use directx 8.1 [01:29] Thundarr, sorry the question is -->wich program do I should use to listen radio on internet? [01:29] yeah but a minority of games works on linux unfortunately [01:29] mib_d1d4wr, open arena.. nexuiz now stop flooding [01:30] Thundarr, use listen or amarok or vlc and shoutcast [01:30] yeah, the ones that people make work. [01:30] Sakarias, use VLC [01:30] sakitel the sabe ppl sayd.. rythmimbox you have an option to add radio station [01:30] i suppose that's were help comes in, participating with the opensource. [01:30] wakeboarding...huh... [01:30] TI-83, yeah, i got that too [01:30] i'm having an issue with my usb flash drive, when i plug it in, its shown mounted on the desktop, however when i actually open it a pop up states that the drive was 'deleted' [01:30] I kinda agree with mib_d1d4wr ...games arent always working on Linux [01:30] hmm i cant seem to change workspace either.... [01:30] thanks m_newton [01:31] i've been getting some weird PM spam, anyone else? [01:31] mib_d1d4wr, sorry for repeat and u welcome [01:31] pukeman: yes [01:31] harrism: if you got a failing drive it could cause that too. your install could of gotten corrupt and causing the instability. [01:31] pukeman: lots of them :( [01:31] pukeman report it to #freenode [01:31] rampageoberon, the hardon for tornadoes one? haha. [01:31] alright.

[01:36] haha, resizing partitions and don't know what they are. awesome. [01:37] in the mood for criticism or help me out uh?

[01:40] do firefox themes work in Ubuntu? [01:40] matthew: they do for me. [01:41] matthew, yes. [01:41] Why can't I create multiple partitions on a RAID5? [01:41] MDADM [01:41] who said you can't, sensae? [01:41] Swish: The ubuntu installer, and fdisk [01:41] nonsense :) [01:41] IndyGunFreak... I just get "Firefox could not install the file at addons.mozilla.org(etc) unexpected install error [01:42] need to resize my partitions, they are 2 for ubuntu (main and swap), other 2 for vista, and one extended(i dont know what is it) how do i reallocate the espace ill be taking from the main ubuntu one and swap to the main nfts??? [01:42] create the RAID5 volume, then create a single LVM partition on it. [01:42] matthew: don't know, maybe its that specific one.. i've had no probs w/ the add-on themes [01:42] Swish: Is LVM necessary? Or just a workaround because it's cranky? [01:42] subdivide the LVM into one physical volume, one volume group, and however many "logical volumes" you want [01:42] okay I'll try others...thanks [01:42] does anyone know of a GOOD dock out there [01:42] sensae, LVM is the right way to do it. I don't know for sure if it's necessary or not though [01:42] HELP! my ubuntu is running in low graphics mode after I toyed with xorg, somebody help me it doesnt let me play my media files properly ;/ [01:42] i've used Desklets, kool dock. sim dock, awn [01:43] mythtv FTW! [01:43] Does anyone know how to recover deleted files? [01:43] Swish: Why is creating multiple partitions right on the drive the "wrong" way to do it? (Assuming it worked) [01:44] sensae, because what if you wanted to resize one of the partitions? It's more difficult to do if you don't have LVM [01:44] explaining the benefits of LVM is beyond the scope of this conversation... use google ;) [01:44] Hello all.. I got a new dell pc, and I installed Ubuntu Fiesty Fawn which is the available version at the moment... I am trying to install the Network Adapter Driver which is included in the drivers disc.. but its an rpm... I heared about something call alien but I cannot find in in Synaptics.... any ideas??... Note : no internet connection available now and no DVD burner is available now :) [01:45] Benalex: Install a newer version. Feisty is old. [01:45] Benalex I know you. [01:45] indygunfreak anyway i can reallocate the espace ill be taking from my main ubuntu partition and swap to my ntfs partition?? [01:45] Swish: lol alright [01:45] HardDisk Hello Budy [01:45] Benalex: feisty is old.. your two versions behind [01:45] install Hardy [01:45] Benalex: sudo aptitude install rpm (think that might work) [01:45] seriously. [01:45] ecn_art: i would guess you could.. but i don't know for sure. [01:45] !alien | Benalex [01:45] Benalex: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) [01:45] Benalex, and how is there no internet connection when you're online now [01:46] yeah.. I know I told you guys its the onli available version now for me at the moment... I burned it before [01:46] Benalex: it would be smarter to download and install it from source, then use alien or something like it [01:46] and you don't need to burn a cd to install hardy [01:46] IndyGunFreak, bad advice. [01:46] IndyGunFreak, I meant about the alien thing. [01:46] HardDisk: you think alien is good advice? [01:46] how come when i try to ssh into a server using ssh user@host terminal locks up? [01:46] HELP! my ubuntu is running in low graphics mode after I toyed with xorg, somebody help me it doesnt let me play my media files properly ;/ [01:46] i didn't suggest alien at all... read again [01:46] IndyGunFreak, bit of laag [01:46] oki thx indygunfreak [01:46] I need to alter a proc value prior to anything but / being mounted. Adding something rc2.d/S01procsetup gets executed after the mounting of anything in /etc/fstab. I also could not find anything detailing the init of ubuntu's startup so I can modify a file to get it mounted ahead of disk mounting, Does anyone know what file or where I can read up on the boot sequence? [01:46] i'm having an issue with my usb flash drive, when i plug it in, its shown mounted on the desktop, however when i actually open it a pop up states that the drive was 'deleted' [01:47] Benalex, you can do an install from your harddrive [01:47] if you have no burner [01:47] how to know what all shared libs a application is using??? [01:47] Dasmoover: what do you mean, it crashes or you need to do CTRL - C to leave [01:47] ctrl -c === DBLobster is now known as U09526 [01:47] it seems the command doesnt load [01:47] Dasmoover: ssh into your own machine? [01:47] no [01:47] ok... here is the thing... I have a notebook connected to the internet with a defective burner... and a new Dell PC completely offline... and Its network adapter driver is an RPM package... [01:47] my other server [01:48] my friend can get on it, i tried multiple servers same with all [01:48] Benalex: well, then you need to figure something else out [01:48] and a Fiesty Fawn livecd [01:48] Dasmoover: hmm, maybe you don't have a valid shell there [01:48] i do [01:48] i use the same login as my friend did [01:48] Benalex, you can do an install without a cd [01:49] http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=41539 This was not enough to solve my problem. Please,... help me... [01:49] hyyyy [01:49] Dasmoover: hmm, not sure [01:49] !install | Benalex [01:49] Benalex, did you check for alternatives other than the rpm? [01:49] :( [01:49] HardDisk how???... rmember there is not active internet connection [01:49] Benalex, what chipset is it? [01:49] Good evening a got a prbleme I try to load mldonkey but when I click nothing apear? [01:49] Benalex: Ubuntu can be installed in a lot of ways.

Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [01:49] HardDisk rpm is the available with the pc drivers disc [01:49] forget the disc Benalex come to #ubuntu-eg [01:49] Dasmoover: try ssh with putty rather than terminal [01:49] ta3ala [01:49] Dasmoover: i know it makes no difference but worth a shot [01:49] id prefer terminal. [01:49] ok... On Da Way! [01:50] Dasmoover: yes i understand, but try this to help see what is causing the problem [01:50] ok [01:51] IndyGunFreak, don't worry he's part of our local LUG [01:51] :) [01:51] have fun [01:51] will do.

I downloaded the developer version and it just contains patches and blackbox source.

[02:03] anirudh, I have reduced the level now. Let me try again [02:03] How do you get dpkg or apt-get to ask you questions about configuration when you install a new package that has post-installation configure scripts? [02:03] Dasmoover, can you ping the remote machine? === hooey is now known as coldboot|home [02:03] yes [02:04] Thundarr create a mount point and sudo mount device mount point [02:04] i have tried on multiple machines [02:04] I have a problem with firewire. I have a machine I installed mythbuntu on and got everything configured up. I could plugin an external firewire drive, automounted it fine. I move the computer to the tv I want to use it with, and suddenly the firewire port is non-functioning but still shows up with lspci. [02:04] Dasmoover:Maybe you need to wait because high ping ? or maybe the port is closed ? [02:04] anirudhl: will this enable me to see shares on my windows systems [02:04] that is what I am trying to accomplish [02:04] how do i set a port forwarding [02:04] poyoyo: all my friends can connect to the box with my login [02:04] I cannot see shared files on the windows systems [02:04] mrvdv: www.portforward.com [02:04] rampageoberon:you were right, it works fine on the other profiel [02:04] hello, I am having trouble with skim (scim-im). My language is checked, but when I click on the skim icon or "input method", a sliver of a box appears with nothing inside of it. [02:04] Thundarr, a simpler way is nautilus>right click>props>share [02:04] Thundarr that is different [02:05] but the windows systems can see and share files with one another [02:05] Swift_Fox: ah good :) [02:05] Dasmoover:Maybe port on your machine ?

[02:05] rampageoberon: what does that mean? [02:05] im behind no router [02:05] Dasmoover, do you have a banlist on the server? [02:05] rampageoberon: oh, should i just switch profiles then lol. [02:05] no i do not [02:05] Dasmoover, your ip may be banned [02:05] ok [02:05] Dasmoover:Try forwarding port 20 to your machine [02:05] its my server i own [02:05] how can i troubleshoot my bluetooth driver [02:05] i have no router [02:05] Swift_Fox: delete the old profile, so rm -rf ..mozilla/ should do it [02:05] 22 is open on my connection [02:06] i love this irc. everyone is so friendly [02:06] Dasmoover, interesting [02:06] Dasmoover: is port 22 open on the server? [02:06] I'm an experienced Ubuntu user but I'm having trouble installing Hardy Heron on my new computer. I get the message "grub-install (hd0) failed" and "this is a fatal error" and the installer quits. [02:06] yes it is [02:06] Swift_Fox: next time you start firefox it will create a new one [02:06] ubottu thanks [02:06] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [02:06] my buddy can login to it [02:06] I am looking over that website now [02:06] Dasmoover, use ssh -v...verbose mode [02:06] Swift_Fox: if you have any bookmarks, back those up to xml and then reload them [02:06] rampageoberon:sick nasty thanks bro [02:06] There are various forum entries but none were helpful. I checked the md5 sum. I do not have recover partitions, etc on the drive, which is brand new. [02:06] anirudh, still no luck with mic [02:06] Swift_Fox: you're welcome [02:06] ok, I'm on a livecd [02:06] Any other suggestions? [02:06] margin what are you trying to do [02:06] the hard drive has an ubuntu install that's graphically borked [02:06] mavrbang, nope..alsamixer usually fixes it [02:07] has anyone compiled splashtop? [02:07] i wish to have the hard drive install reconfigure its X [02:07] Raven, I'm installing Hardy Heron, basically by the book, from the live CD onto an SATA drive. [02:07] alright [02:07] OpenSSH_4.7p1 Debian-8ubuntu1.2, OpenSSL 0.9.8g 19 Oct 2007 [02:07] debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config [02:07] debug1: Applying options for * [02:07] debug1: Connecting to &&&&& [**********] port 22. [02:07] ok well i just did this [02:07] what is the quickbooks of linux? [02:07] so i may be able to help? [02:07] then nothing else [02:07] i have to control c out of it [02:07] what is the quickbooks of linux? [02:07] Raven, only thing of note is that I have no swap partition selected, just a root partition. [02:07] well you need one [02:07] Dasmoover, one sec [02:07] if you want it to run faster [02:07] or so it told me [02:07] I don't need one, Raven, I've run Ubuntu without a swap partition for two years now. [02:08] ah [02:08] it wont let you install without it? [02:08] I have 4 GB of ram on this new computer and swapping to disk would make no sense whatsoever. [02:08] mm [02:08] gavi gnucash and grisbi are the ones I've used [02:08] it wont go without? [02:08] Dasmoover:Tried to wait ? maybe your ping is high. [02:08] I never had trouble installing without a swap partition on previous versions. I can't imagine it would be a problem now. [02:08] i let it sit for an hour [02:08] is it giving you a problem? [02:08] Nicke_, thanks for your response do you know which one is more popular? [02:08] nothing happened [02:08] hey I have a quick question, how do I find the wireless network key for a linksys router?? [02:08] nickrud, **** [02:08] marginoferror: with that much ram your computer will be happy without swap [02:08] sorry* not Nicke_ [02:09] brandon1: 192.168.1.1 [02:09] marginoferror: plus a lot faster i suppser [02:09] then what raven [02:09] type that into your browser [02:09] gavi not really, but I think it would be gnucash (been around longer, etc) [02:09] rampageoberon: Yes, I know, but I still can't install. Again, grub fails during install and I can't figure out why. [02:09] IndyGunFreak, his only option due to his resources and available working hardware was to install ubuntu via windows using the cd image approach. [02:09] itll ask for your username and pass [02:09] if you didnt change them [02:09] ok got that [02:09] they are on the bottom of the router [02:09] nickrud, thanks ill check it out [02:09] but at least it'll work [02:09] bottom of the router? [02:09] yeah [02:09] marginoferror: what errors? [02:09] on like a label [02:09] Dasmoover, see launchpad bug 84899 of openssh [02:09] oh ok, ty [02:09] mines admin password lol [02:09] Launchpad bug 84899 in openssh "SSH with GSSAPIAuthentication option on SSH servers are very slow" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/84899 [02:09] i should change that.. [02:09] As I said above, during install, "Executing 'grub-install (hd0)' failed / this is a fatal error" [02:10] Crashes out at 94% progress on the liveCD installer [02:10] anirudh1, sorry to bother again.. But i cant find my jdk home. My /usr/lib/jvm contains 4 different java installations. Any ideas on how to find the needed "JDK_HOME"? [02:10] I haven't tried alternative yet. I have checked the md5sum [02:10] anirudh1: but mine doesnt even load [02:10] Dasmoover, solution is to change "files dns mdns" to "filees dns" in /etc/nsswitch.conf [02:10] Mitur, point to any one of them === ka2zzzz is now known as ka2u [02:11] Mitur, unless you need them, you can remove all but ine [02:11] anirudh1, ok, thx [02:11] can i run exe files in Ubuntu [02:11] *one [02:11] !wine | vishnu915458 [02:11] vishnu915458: 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. [02:11] rampageoberon: any ideas? [02:11] anirudh1, if i only remove the files. Is it not possible that im going to get some config errors later? [02:11] is there an easy way to download all files from a website?, including subdirectories? [02:11] hey, I have a small(big) problem, when going to do an administrative task, it says:Config Could Not Be Loaded, You are not allowed to access system config [02:11] chuy_max, all files of what? [02:12] Mitur, you mean manual deletion...might break some apt packages [02:12] you are still there HardDisk [02:12] xD [02:12] ^^ [02:12] chuy_max, you mean to make your own offline repository? [02:12] will it run office 2007 [02:12] marginoferror: no sorry, but it is not the ram most definitely [02:12] how do i get to wherever i need to get to in order to edit: /etc/fstab file (you need root privileges) to add this line: [02:12] justme, in and out [02:12] HardDisk, from a website, check this: http://decsai.ugr.es/~acu/NTP/archivos/ExamplesC++GuiProgrammingWithQt/ [02:12] anirudh1, yes, thats my point. I think :) [02:12] HardDisk, yeah, something like that [02:12] ani: the only lime i see remotely close to that is [02:12] HardDisk, nah why ^^ ? [02:12] "files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns" [02:12] Thundarr, in terminal type "sudo gedit /etc/fstab" [02:12] Thundarr: in a terminal, gksudo gedit /etc/fstab [02:12] chuy_max, look at apt morror [02:12] marginoferror: maybe try burning the disk at a slower speed? but i don't know why exaclty the error comes [02:12] quick question - gparted won't let me resize any partitions - are there root privlages I need to have? [02:12] Thundarr, sorry, gksudo like Starnestommy said [02:12] chuy_max, if you want to download all that, use wget or a spider downloader tool [02:12] HardDisk, not meant in any offensive way. [02:12] Dasmoover, the same [02:13] rampageoberon: As I said, I checked the md5sum of the CD so I am 100% the burn was successful [02:13] marginoferror: you think you could help me im new to linux [02:13] justme, ? no I mean im in and out [02:13] Dasmoover, remove the "mdns" [02:13] ah ok^^ [02:13] and then save? [02:13] brody: it needs to be run as root or with sudo/gksudo [02:13] Raven: What do you need help with? [02:13] tell me more about wine [02:13] Dasmoover, ofcourse [02:13] justme, bored :/ [02:13] brody: preferably from a livecd [02:13] my bluetooth driver doesnt seem to be working correctly [02:13] You do not have the permissions necessary to save the file. Please check that you typed the location correctly and try again [02:13] vishnu915458, please join #wine-hq [02:13] hi [02:13] Raven, define properly [02:13] i have vim trouble [02:13] E558: Terminal entry not found in terminfo [02:13] 'gnome-256color' not known.

[02:13] Dasmoover, you need to edit as root..using sudo [02:13] i get that when i try to connect to the mouse [02:13] one more question [02:13] whats the command? [02:13] xterm? [02:14] gksudo? [02:14] Raven: I'm not sure I can help you with that, I don't have a bluetooth device. [02:14] SpookyET, why do you use VIM ? [02:14] Dasmoover, gksu [02:14] not nano? [02:14] Raven, blueman an easy app to help you. [02:14] ah alright thanks anyway [02:14] Good luck [02:14] justme: personal preference probably [02:14] blueman? [02:14] Has any one found a solution to the "unlock" button greyed out on most admin tools when using NX client? [02:14] ill check it out [02:14] Starnestommy- thanks [02:14] !blueman [02:14] justme: as opposed to?

[02:14] stupid bot [02:14] marginoferror, burn to a one time writable cd [02:14] on the terminal when i enter the root password it does not appears [02:14] how do you uninstall ubuntu? [02:14] michalski: which task? [02:14] Raven, blueman.tuxfamily.org [02:14] vishnu915458, that's a security feature [02:14] vishnu915458: it's not supposed to. Just type it [02:14] SpookyET, nano works a lot more efficent and easier as vim [02:14] i cant find it in the addremove thing? [02:14] ;) [02:15] ok i saved, trying out now [02:15] vishnu915458, it's accepting characters, just not giving visual feedback [02:15] and is still powerful. [02:15] michalski, sys>authourizations? [02:15] Raven, deb is available on the site, go there [02:15] Starnestommy: System--->Admin--->User, Network, several [02:15] Bradj47: erase or overwrite its partition [02:15] rather the repo [02:15] justme: you fail piss off, but you may want to look at nano-syntax (ppa) if you love it so much [02:15] anirudh1: authorizations works [02:15] now its telling me ssh: ares.*****.com: Name or service not known [02:15] wait whats obex [02:15] it is not shown on login screen also, not even dots or asterik [02:15] Starnestommy, why is nothing appearing better than dots or asterisks? [02:15] i dont think i have that [02:15] anirudh1: ? [02:15] Let's not get into a "my editor is better than yours" discussion [02:15] vishnu915458, gdm login shows dots [02:16] HardDisk, wow, wget is so powerful, I'm confused, could you help me with the right options please? [02:16] Starnestommy, in the password field i mean [02:16] anirudh1: I did! This is a one-time writable CD. There is no problem with the CD, the md5sum checks out. [02:16] no it is not [02:16] anirudh1: oh, it's to make it harder to see how many characters are in it [02:16] HardDisk: whats obex is it possible i dont have that? [02:16] chuy_max, if all you want to do is create a local repo, try apt-mirror [02:16] chuy_max, wget --help to get the commonly used options and what they do [02:16] Starnestommy, hmm..makes sense [02:17] michalski: open a terminal then run 'gksudo network-admin" [02:17] and when i enter it in the terminal it says authetication failure [02:17] Has any one found a solution to the "unlock" button greyed out on most admin tools when using NX client? I run headless and it is a pain to hook up monitor keyboar and mouse. [02:17] is splashtop osi approved? I cant find the source [02:17] anirudh1, I'm not mirroring ubuntu, I'm downloading a whole website that contains programming exercises inside directories [02:17] Does anybody happen to know where the page is that describes the changes between gutsy and hardy? Or do you know off the top of your head what features exist that I should keep hardy for? It seems to be pretty buggy for me, I want to go back to Gutsy but I don't know if there's anything I'll be really missing out on [02:17] Raven, obex is just a protocol [02:17] chuy_max, look at "scrapbook"..ff etension [02:17] Starnestommy - if I use sudo gparted it will let me delete partitions but not adjust existing ones [02:18] ah ok cause its in the error [02:18] Starnestommy: same error, I was exploring and it seems that im only having problems with utils that use policykit [02:18] andihu1:?

[02:21] Starnestommy, is there a reason for that? or just common practice? [02:21] but due to the above mentined problem i can't use it [02:21] Dasmoover, did you remove the mdns? [02:21] chuy_max, try wget -p -k http://decsai.ugr.es/~acu/NTP/archivos/ExamplesC++GuiProgrammingWithQt/ [02:21] anirudh1: if i untick only allow local conenctions it works [02:21] michael_buckbee: you cant bend the spoon if there is no spoon :P === Tekerson_ is now known as Tekerson [02:21] dmsuperman_: common practice, and the fact that locking out root logins improves security [02:21] rampageoberon, tell vnc server to make logs..see the log to find out [02:21] yes there was two of them [02:21] dmsuperman_: it is considered more secure to use sudo for root access and effectively disable the root account [02:21] i took out only one [02:21] Dasmoover, mine had only one..but try removeing the other..then connect via ip [02:22] !filesystem [02:22] An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview [02:22] anirudh1: get (111) error in the gui, that help? [02:22] when it asks for password i entered the corect one but it does not works === TJ_OOC is now known as Buggeredfstab [02:22] rampageoberon, dont remember error umbers:) [02:22] marginoferror, Starnestommy, so if I understand correctly, sudo -i gives me essentially a root console but still runs it as my user, where su completely changes the user in the console to root? [02:22] vishnu: your own user password? [02:22] anirudh1: ok, i'll check logs [02:22] dmsuperman_: sudo -i also switches to rot [02:22] dmsuperman_: er, root [02:22] 1 sec [02:23] any ideas starnestommy? [02:23] Starnestommy, so then doesn't it do the same as su? [02:23] Starnestommy, beware better use sudo -s [02:23] so the user's home will stay the user's home [02:23] ;) [02:23] with exim4 and local messages can I get these to appear in 'evolution' like regular emails ? [02:23] i never use sudo i hate it .. use root or don't use a fake root [02:23] i want to have "console here" for nautilus.. a button or right menu option.. been searching but no luck. any ideas? [02:23] it just hangs there [02:23] That how it goes my friend [02:23] justme^sleeping, sudo bash also switched to root [02:23] This is odd - I just installed the new updates today, now I can't get to hotmail, nor access gchat. [02:23] that also [02:24] dmsuperman_: it uses the user's password and can be configured with /etc/sudoers [02:24] Dasmoover, sorry then..that fixed my problem ling ago [02:24] but now goin 2 sleep....

[02:34] burn0000 did you download envy from online or did you apt-get envyng from the official repos [02:34] *Rosegarden with Hardy [02:34] hey guys - i've got a problem with java - it comes up with "load: class not found."

[02:35] burn0000 DONT use the online envy [02:36] Brian88_ You need to read the wubi faq and understand how it differs from a normal partition installation [02:36] does ubuntu have a filesystem name ? or is it just "Ubuntu File System" ? [02:36] dmsuperman_: TY:) even better than i hoped for. [02:36] Gutsy: Rosegarden 1.6.1 syncs perfectly but has more basic sounding midi. Hardy: Rosegarden 1.6.1 syncs fairly BAD but has more depth in it's midi output... ---- Why might this be?

[02:39] burn0000 We try to avoid those types of discussions about which is better etc... [02:40] Jack_Sparrow, he merely asked how they're different, as far as I can tell [02:40] ok sorry [02:40] So... [02:40] Anyone else having issues getting to madwifi.org? [02:40] burn0000, Ubuntu by default uses GNOME. Wikipedia has a good article discussing GNOME and Flux Box [02:40] burn0000, then make your decision on your own :D [02:41] is there a way to move my rhythmbox settings (podcasts etc) to banshee? [02:41] dmsuperman I assumed he meant the default ub setup and how fluxbox is different from that [02:41] lol im such a noob, is there a rule list or something i should read [02:41] imperfect-, yup [02:41] Jack_Sparrow: hold on, fixing one quick bug [02:41] burn0000, usually just common sense, this is a support channel so really just stick to asking or helping and you should be fine [02:41] hey guys - i've got a problem with java - it comes up with "load: class not found." in the java console [02:41] ok [02:41] gladier what is the class? [02:41] dmsuperman: well that's lame. my macbook pro lacks wireless. [02:42] gladier that error means that the compiler doesn't know what the class is (try #java, this is a ubuntu support channel) [02:42] neurobuntu any class that i try to load, been to multiple websites [02:42] imperfect-, get a wireless card :D [02:42] burn0000 this may help as well http://xwinman.org/ [02:42] Help NX will not let me click the "unlock" button on network settings, or users and groups or any management functions.

[02:44] neurobuntu yes [02:44] gladier, on another Ubuntu machine? [02:44] gladier, what version of java are you using, the sun version or the open source version [02:44] gladier, it could be differences between operating systems [02:45] Whatsinaname, try opening a terminal and typeing: sudo network-manager [02:45] or something like that [02:45] dmsuperman - java is a virtual machine ... doesn't make a difference of the o/s [02:45] gladier [02:45] neurobuntu 6.0 and run [02:45] about how long does the upgrade from gutsy to hardy take on a 2 ghtz machine [02:45] neurobuntu sun* [02:45] gladier, the app doesn't matter, but the jre differs [02:45] dmsuperman - same jre [02:45] gladier, the VM provided by Ubuntu is not the VM provided by sun, the SUN VM is closed source and doesn't ship by default with ubuntu [02:46] neurobuntu i know. i've removed the built in one and put the sun one in place [02:46] Could someone please tell me a way that I could make F-Spot share it's database in a new location and with all the users on my local system?

[02:46] dmsuperman, TY [02:47] |angelic|, not sure, I just edit menu.lst [02:47] neurobuntu that opend it, but still no go === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [02:47] imperfect-, I thought you said you didn't have wireless. what's madwifi do anyway? [02:47] Whatsinaname, is it unlocked? Can't click unlock still? [02:47] What's the reccomended install FS for SD cards? [02:47] I would like to know if my problem is bug. Is fo should I report it to ubuntu or vlc? No audio will work while vlc is running. not skype, not any games, pretty much nothing. [02:47] neurobuntu correct, can not unlock, and can not change any settings [02:47] neurobuntu, oddly, when I do "sudo network-admin" mine is grayed out as well, but If I just run network-admin it's not [02:48] ffm most come as fat16 or fat32 [02:48] Whatsinaname, I would try one of two things: reboot into recovery (single user mode) set your wireless settings there, or post to the forums. [02:48] Jack_Sparrow: I'm formating it, cause I'm installing 'buntu. [02:48] neurobuntu, so that's probably not a good test :P [02:48] I'm on a XP machine now ( :-( ) so I can't trouble shoot [02:48] Jack_Sparrow: (on the card) [02:48] neurobuntu Thank you, I have been following some forum posts, I think someone tried something with policy kit. Ill look some more, but thanks for taking the time. [02:48] how do i enable fastwrites [02:49] ffm that can be tricky good luck [02:49] Whatsinaname: I wish I knew what to do, but unfortuneatly you get higher visiability in the forums, [02:49] neurobuntu something about NX and remote connections is wonky.

[02:49] neurobuntu No, others with clean install have same problem. [02:50] Whatsinaname: did you file a bug report with launchpad? [02:50] Jack_Sparrow: That's installling "from", not "to". [02:50] ffm and it isnt going to work the way you think [02:50] Does anybody know if you can just GET RID OF the stupid unlock button [02:50] Jack_Sparrow: Hrm? [02:50] I liked policy management better in gutsy [02:50] dmsuperman: works, but not appearing in [Computer]. I have to manually mount each time and go to /media/data each time.. [02:51] neurobuntu Um, no, still kind of new, box is mostly file server and only messed with it enough to break it :) still learning but its fun. [02:51] ffm Read this script with a text editor... Make an iso on usb bootable http://jak-linux.org/tmp/iso2usb.sh [02:51] Jack_Sparrow: This is on an XO, so itll have to be on some SS memory or another. [02:51] dmsuperman: works, but not appearing in [Computer]. I have to manually mount each time and go to /media/data each time.. [02:51] Brian88_, where is [Computer] actually at? [02:51] ffm and I am trying to save you a few hours of frustration [02:51] Whatsinaname: I would consider doing a clean install see what happens. Do you have a /home partition/ [02:51] ? [02:52] Brian88_, oh, there. I never have everything show up, tbh [02:52] dmsuperman: I mean that one in Places > Computer [02:52] Brian88_, I just use the Places bar [02:52] ffm see also pendrivelinux.com for all variations on that theme [02:52] dmsuperman: wifi drivers for the chipset I'm dealing w/ [02:52] <|angelic|> dmsuperman: ok, I did change the menu.lst, but grub can't boot into the partition....i put rootnoverify(hd0,8), which is partition for ubuntu [02:52] dmsuperman: Places bar? The drop down? [02:52] neurobuntu I think so, but I am going to wait for a bit and keep trolling the forum... not quite ready to reinstall. [02:52] Brian88_, yeah [02:52] |angelic| are the two linux's on the same HDD [02:52] dmsuperman: Not appear... [02:52] Brian88_, anything important I have mounted in my Home folder as well [02:52] <|angelic|> neurobuntu: yes [02:52] http://paste.ubuntu.com/19770/ [02:53] |angelic| is ubuntu on sda9 ? [02:53] now that I've figured how to do everything I want to do, I'm ready to give ubuntu the majority of my harddrive, what's the safest way to do this (a link with instructions would work just as well) [02:53] Whatsinaname: I would recommened backing up the /home partition and then reformatting it incase the problem is on your home partition [02:53] Jack_Sparrow: See... this system doesn't have a _normal_ bios. [02:53] <|angelic|> Jack_Sparrow: fedora is in 5 and ubuntu is in 8 [02:53] Jack_Sparrow: It runs OpenFirmware, the kernel is loaded directly. [02:53] |angelic| is ubuntu on sda9 ? hd0,8 is sda9 [02:54] matthew: so you're trying to say you want the move the free space from your windows partition to the ubuntu? [02:54] |angelic| if you are looking for sda8 then hda0,7 [02:54] to the ubuntu partition? [02:55] Jack_Sparrow: /part Thanks, Jack_Sparrow ! [02:55] (oops0 [02:55] neurobuntu, I'd like to move the music files (which take up the most space) as well. [02:55] <|angelic|> Jack_Sparrow: let me try. sorry I was panic because ubuntu is my primary box and I have to use it for work tomorrow :( [02:55] are there any other compiz channels that may be useful? [02:55] ffm Good luck, I have pointed you towards the two best resources available for usb installations [02:55] Is there a plugin that fixes escape codes problem in gVIM? emacs has a minor mode 'ansi-mode' that fixes it for itself. See http://www.studioindustryllc.com/user/spookyet/miscellaneous/ansi-escape-codes.png [02:55] matthew: but you do want to resize the partitions which have files on them? [02:56] am I better off just backing up to an external hdd, then claiming the space then putting it back [02:56] yes [02:56] |angelic| creatre multiple entries for all the combinations while you are editing that grub file [02:56] burn0000: what's up with compiz? [02:56] problem or the channel? [02:56] matthew, you can resize the partitions while preserving the data, but it takes a REALLY long time, a couple hours [02:56] atleast [02:56] matthew: I've done it many times [02:57] matthew the bigger the drive and the less free space the longer it will take [02:57] neurobuntu, do I have to be present for those "couple hours" [02:57] no [02:57] matthew: no [02:57] so much easier and faster to do a clean install and partition during install.. [02:57] matthew: I would BACKUP! BACKUP! BACKUP! any information you cannot afford to lose [02:58] What's the best (where by best I mean easiest to set up, maintain and secure) ftp server in the ubuntu repositories?

Under System->Administration-->Partition Manager you can resize your current partitions. [02:58] burn0000 or turn off effects [02:58] neurobuntu: the first time I tried ubuntu half a year ago, I lost 180 gigs of info cause I "thought I knew what I was doing" (aka: being retarded)...so yeah I back up now === charles is now known as charles- [02:58] HardDisk: ah cool, I'll give that a try :) thanks!

[03:36] so there is no root [03:36] madmn; sudo passwd root [03:36] rampageoberon, what do you mean? [03:36] It's possible to set a root password, but it's not a good idea and nobody who cares about you having a stable and reliable system will tell you how...

[03:37] sudo -s is quicker than sudo bash [03:37] !sudo [03:37] actually not really applicable to the discussion, even Microsoft have realised that running as Admin all the time is *really bad* and made UAC try to beat it out of people [03:37] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome), or !kdesu (KDE) [03:38] anyone?

[03:41] <[reed]> I need blackdown-jre-1.4.2 on hardy... how do I get it? [03:41] So why other than "Style" is sudo -s better then sudo su or sudo bash? [03:41] SonicComKid: no. [03:41] |angelic| Just glad you got it.. in the end.. it was quite simple [03:41] no? [03:41] chiselhuk_plusl if you are trying to resize ub part you have to do it with cd [03:41] cannot resize active part [03:41] zcat[1]: how do i get that? [03:41] zcat[1], it's only console?? [03:41] neurobuntu: sudo preserves X permissions and stuff so running GUI programs as root still works [03:41] gleyve: you there? [03:41] unavailabe, unmount the matition [03:41] gleyve prolly got booted rampageoberon [03:41] SonicComKid: once it's installed it will be on a menu somewhere.. it's not installed by default tho [03:41] i need help please, whats better to format ext2 or ext3? [03:42] -.- I thought Server Edition had a GUI.. I planed to VNC to it. [03:42] zcat[1] does sudo bash not do that? [03:42] tuxman: ext3 is ext2 plus journalling. [03:42] tonyyarusso, which is better? [03:42] zcat[1], how the heck do I enable GUI on it then? [03:42] unavailable: I have the live CD in the drive, now what? :( [03:42] tonyyarusso wht bout ext4 [03:42] tuxman: Better for what purpose? [03:42] zcat[1] Am I reading that right you are suggesting he run gui apps with sudo ? [03:42] Chiselhuk_Plus1 have you booted the live Cd? [03:42] unavailable: That's not stabilized yet. [03:43] gleyve got banned [03:43] neurobuntu: it might. sudo -i or sudo -s is the recommended way of getting a root shell (as far as using a root shell can be recomended).. I don't really know why. [03:43] zcat[1]: how do i get that? [03:43] chiselhuk_plus1 boot to it, and run partition editor from system > administration [03:43] tonyyarusso, i dont know, im just installing ubuntu, whats an example of each?

[03:45] :) [03:45] chiselhuk_plus1 i just had to dump 64 bit and fight with grub over 32 bit 8.04 [03:45] Hey everyone, I am currently running Windows XP on a laptop and am doing some research on Ubuntu...I'd love to upgrade to Ubuntu tonight but I have some questions first.

[03:47] dpince: what chipset? my broadcom was really easy this time around, just tick a box and click OK [03:47] where can i download a work time sheet for open office? [03:47] It is an atheros ar5006EG adapter [03:47] free [03:47] narothepharoh: Google is your friend in this situation. Google for "work time sheet open office" [03:47] chiselhuk_plus1 but i will be smoking regularly, and i need about 5-7 mins for that [03:47] each [03:47] oops sorry I had my fun script on. [03:47] thats kinda insecure [03:47] not familiar with that one.. [03:47] having no root [03:47] can a bios setting get switched randomly? [03:47] dpince, atheros is supported under ndiswrapper, I believe.

I would think it's quite secure, but okay. [03:48] somethings i need to do require that don't they [03:48] madmn It is more secure [03:48] !sudo | madmn [03:48] madmn: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root").

However, any parts of the gadget that is supposed to be transparent shows up as black. I have compiz effects turned off. Is there some extension/option I should add to xorg.conf? [03:48] uthom: I think there was an update to tzdata recently [03:48] so i just use su to do things then [03:48] how do I get my .xsession to source my .bashrc? (and why on earth doesn't this happen by default, argh!) [03:49] madmn: Not su... sudo. [03:49] madmn: no, you use sudo [03:49] madmn not the best choice sudo -s would be better [03:49] madmn yep anytime you need to run a command as root you can use gksudo or sudo [03:49] ok [03:49] narothepharoh, http://documentation.openoffice.org/Samples_Templates/User/template/Timesheet.stc [03:49] I know once I can figure wireless out I can eventually get everything else working, so if you were to expain how to get my wireless driver working in a step-by-step fashion, how would you? I already burned the Ubuntu ISO to a CD and am ready to reformat. [03:49] boot happy the mods are tonight [03:49] madmn: or kksudo [03:49] kdesu [03:49] bah, typing sucks [03:49] unless you specify a user su doesn't work in ubuntu, you can use su to switch to a different (non root) user [03:49] anyone here use XCAHT?? [03:49] Still running windows XP at the moment. [03:49] FelipeS, check the google gadget site, since it's still in an experimental stage, the forums have a few posts about it, but in terms of compiz you need to turn widgets on in the advanced settings I believe, there was something mentioning that issue in the forums. [03:49] friends, I have installed gnome translate tool. [03:49] anyone here use XCHAT?? [03:49] dpince: Before doing that, reboot your computer with the Ubuntu CD in the drive. Let it boot up and test if your internet is working. [03:49] like user1$ su user2 would work [03:50] how can I removee all traces of an app I "completely removed"? [03:50] but it doesn't even translate the simplest of the words! [03:50] dpince you can dual boot [03:50] Weems, --purge [03:50] any idea? [03:50] tuxman: i do [03:50] I want to merge banshee-1 into banshee.. [03:50] Weems, how did you install the app [03:50] Weems: apt-get --purge [package] [03:50] narothepharoh, check this one out also http://documentation.openoffice.org/Samples_Templates/User/template/index.html [03:50] any ideas? how do I get .xession to source .bashrc? I keep getting a nasty error about 'source' not being found [03:50] bobstro, how do i see all the people in the room? [03:50] apt-get and Ive been trying to build banshee via source [03:50] Weems: But then you'll still need to delete it's directory in your Home folder because --purge doesn't do that for some odd reason. [03:50] Weems, why? [03:50] --purge won't remove any user config (~/.foo) the app created though afaik.. [03:50] Darlok: Ok, so if I boot with the Ubuntu CD in the drive, it will check for drivers before actually installing anything? [03:50] HardDisk: for a xchat script [03:50] Weems, remove banshee add the repository for banshee 1 from their website [03:50] tuxman: are you using xchat or xchat-gnome ? [03:51] yes [03:51] gtg bbl ttfn [03:51] dpince: It will actually load the entire operating system and let you use it WITHOUT actually installing anything :) [03:51] dpince you should run the live cd (the first option at boot time) [03:51] rampageoberon, i just want azureus to start at my home computer... [03:51] dpince, it will let you run full os off of the cd, without installing anything [03:51] dpince: It's a great way to check for hardward compatibility, etc. [03:51] tuxman: xchat-gnome neuters the interface (IMO) so i use the 'real' xchat. [03:51] how do i uninstall a software on terminal [03:51] dpince to see what drivers you need off the get go [03:51] enaner, apt-get remove or aptitude remove [03:51] bobstro, i think xchat-gnome? [03:51] enaner: you can use sudo apt-get remove [03:51] !apt | enaner [03:51] enaner: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE) [03:51] enaner: sudo apt-get remove [03:51] Wow, sounds great.

I'll probably be back ;-) [03:52] enaner sudo apt-get remove [03:52] Starnestommy: thanks, I will patch it and update my sources later. [03:52] bobstro, so i have to uninstall this one and download the one from the site? [03:52] dpince: You will be :) [03:52] and how do i run a software from terminal? [03:52] tuxman: if you've used xchat before you might (personal preference) prefer just 'xchat'. search for xchat in synaptic. [03:52] yep [03:52] enaner [03:52] tuxman: not sure if you need to uninstall xchat-gnome, but i did. [03:52] somehow my entire box managed to fubar itself [03:52] anybody know how to source .bashrc from .xsession? [03:52] and i have nodea [03:52] ackage frostwire is not available, but is referred to by another package. [03:52] This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or [03:52] is only available from another source [03:52] E: Package frostwire has no installation candidate [03:52] how [03:52] enaner that depends, if it is a script you need to do ./ if it is a bin just > [03:52] dpince: Keep in mind, though, that when loading the LiveCD, everything is loaded into memory. It will take MUCH longer to boot up this way than it actually will once you install it. So be patient .... [03:52] why does it say that about frostwire when it ry to install it? [03:52] enaner i.e. if you want to run pidgin from terminal, enter terminal and type pidgin and press enter [03:53] i would pastebin the error i get when ls -al, but i can't open firefox [03:53] enaner try aptitude search frostwire [03:53] enaner, download it from www.frostwire.com you came here yesterday asking the same questions [03:53] lol [03:53] tom123, yo bro this is my name in the CHAT its me plutoniumoxide [03:53] that sux hoens [03:53] aye unavailable :( [03:53] hardisk no i didnt ... and i did dl it from there but not working still [03:53] tuxman you can change your nick with /nick [03:53] hmm... strange that Keep doesn't have any kind of progress indicator...

[03:53] neurobuntu, i dont need to change my nick [03:53] i was in the middle of watching a movie, and the movie just crashed [03:53] HardDisk: running [03:53] and now i can't read from the disk [03:54] I wish ubuntu would merge banshee-1 into banshee.. its a stable release is it not? [03:54] neurobuntu, but thanks :) [03:54] enaner, run it in terminal see the error message. you may need java installed [03:54] enaner, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [03:54] Weems: dont think so, not yet.. been a while since i messedw/ the beta though [03:54] well I need it so it works with a script [03:54] :s [03:54] and Im not good enough with python to hack the script [03:55] rampageoberon: it worked [03:55] do people still use np scripts? ;) [03:55] rampageoberon: ok [03:55] np [03:55] I do [03:55] rampageoberon: it worked [03:55] Weems python is only 1 of a handfull of scripting languages, there are TONS of scripting languages [03:55] lol i mean nope [03:55] HardDisk: i already have that updated ... yet still frostwire doesnt wanna run [03:55] any helpers? [03:55] weems, most people just use bash scripts (or shell scripts) [03:55] rampageoberon: but pasword is wrong..how do I reset? [03:55] enaner: do you have java installed? [03:55] enaner, again I REPEAT run it in terminal and see the error message [03:55] neurobuntu: well I havent seen any that work. the only one on xchats website is in python [03:55] enaner: you're probably missing java.. [03:56] IndyGunFreak, already told him that [03:56] and I like banshee, so I dont want to use another player [03:56] How can I know if anything is happenning while I am dding? [03:56] HardDisk: well, he's obviously very slow..lol; [03:56] IndyGunFreak: how do i get the java then [03:56] sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [03:56] Is thre a verbose mode? [03:56] marl, what's your issue? [03:56] unavailable: Have u every tried to load a live CD on a really old dinosaur of a laptop??? :( AND only to discover your live CD is Badger!! lol [03:56] IndyGunFreak, slow wasn't my first thought. [03:56] marl, I just entered [03:56] lol [03:56] enaner: are you using 32bit or 64bit? [03:56] get the gparted cd [03:56] IndyGunFreak: 64 bit [03:56] let's get gparted, in here! [03:56] enaner: i'm not real sure on 64bit.... [03:56] chiselhuk_plusl or the gparted cd http://gparted.sourceforge.net/ [03:57] enaner, ah that's why [03:57] neurobuntu: I tried to build-dep and I got E: Build-dependencies for banshee-1 could not be satisfied. [03:57] chiselhuk_plus1 or the gparted cd http://gparted.sourceforge.net/ [03:57] hello everyone [03:57] enaner, may I ask why you're on 64bit? curious. [03:57] The Gparted LiveCD is over rated, just use the Ubuntu LiveCD [03:57] why no more raid support on gparted ? :( [03:57] * IndyGunFreak laughs at people who unkowingly step into 64bit when its not ready [03:57] neurobuntu, or the systemrescuecd [03:57] Has someone tried compiz with multiple users on ubuntu 8.04? [03:57] neurobuntu, gparted loads fast to terminal [03:57] Weems, can you past the entire Error to a pastebin? [03:57] HardDisk: cuz someone here looked at my info and told me to get 64 bit [03:57] unavailable: If I had blank CD's to begin with I could just write the already d/loaded Hardy onto disc 'n install!! [03:57] ok [03:57] enaner: well, you know what they say about advice on the internet [03:57] At this rate I'm deffo going for CD's soon!! [03:58] mib_d1d4wr, I've had more video driver errors with GParted then ubuntu [03:58] enaner, I have no problem with 64bit, but you must be prepared to learn many things on your own to get it working the way you want it to.

[03:58] neurobuntu, I dont use gparted graphically... [03:58] HardDisk: so far everything is working fine ... xcept this frostwire thing [03:58] i can't imagine anyone suggesting 64bit to a newb.. thats kinda silly [03:58] Vista is refusing to print... [03:58] neurobuntu: http://pastebin.ca/1046682 [03:58] enaner, fair enough. [03:58] mib_d1d4wr, almost :) [03:58] enaner: "so far".. being the operative word [03:58] chiselhuk_plus1 thats bill gates retarded [03:58] Anyone?

Did someone have no trouble setting compiz for 2 different users? [03:59] enaner: well you won't be using frostwire either...lol [03:59] anybody know how I can get ~/.xsession to source ~/.bashrc?? [03:59] flash 10 beta fixes slow fullscreen playing now, I'm so happy [03:59] thast not very advanced [03:59] Is it normal for Keep to appear to hang while performing a backup? Shouldn't it have a progress indicator instead? [03:59] Weems,cd into the banshee directory, there should be a debian folder, then paste the contents of the CONTROL file to the pastebin [03:59] IndyGunFreak: i guess ill just use limewire instead [03:59] enaner: it requires java also i'm pretty sure [03:59] cedriczg, What kind of issues? [03:59] tara which chip does your wifi card have? === gardar is now known as gardar`afk [03:59] IndyGunFreak, he did the ubuntu-restricted-extras according to him [03:59] hmm, am I just being ignored? [03:59] meeper, I didn't get your question [04:00] Darlok_Williams: that is normal, bad programming... [04:00] hmm, what is your question [04:00] HardDisk: doesn't matter... java doesn't have a 64bit port [04:00] RadiantFire: Okay lol [04:00] meeper what is your question [04:00] IndyGunFreak, I know, which is why I was wondering [04:00] you can try to chmod the 32bit to work.. but i'm not sure how to do that [04:00] unavailable: The live CD has loaded and I clicked System, Admin....and there's nothing about partitioning there!! :( [04:00] I installed crossvc , a cvs client via synaptic.. But i cant see it anywhere in the start menu.. how do i start crossvc now.. Anyone knows [04:00] MoreAllLess, When I login to the other user I can't have available the effects on the appearence settings [04:00] Darlok_Williams, yes it should. there are several backup utils that need progress indicators [04:00] RadiantFire: Guess I should find a different backup program then... maybe it shouldn't be supported by Ubuntu if it's that obvious of an issue. [04:00] cedriczg: thanks. just trying to get .xsession to source .bashrc . It keeps giving an error, complaining about 'source' keyword [04:00] atheros 802.11 is what shows in the hardware drivers thing [04:00] any helpers pm me [04:00] Chiselhuk_Plus1: its there look for Partition Editor, Partition Managers etc... [04:00] I've been waiting over 1hr [04:01] chiselhuk_plus1 thats strange i just used it about 3 hrs ago [04:01] IdleOne: I'd have even been satisfied with a "Please Wait" dialog... but nope, it just shows every indication of having completely crashed. [04:01] mar1 what is your problem? [04:01] MoreAllLess, Only if I log out from the other user I can get the new user to use compiz [04:01] enaner, if you want my advice, and this advice a lot will concur, I would go with 32bit Ubuntu, you won't feel a difference unless you have over 4GB's of ram and require the dual core processing power for 64bit applications for rendering etc. [04:01] IndyGunFreak: what do u think of this : http://javashoplm.sun.com/ECom/docs/product_redirect_sdn.html:: shud i go with it [04:01] cedriczg, I just had an issue with my logon and I was able to fix it by setting a file in my profile. [04:01] Does any body know jack about CUPS, and how to use it with windows? [04:01] Darlok_Williams, yup I know [04:01] for help [04:01] how do i set the ubuntu login screen to default to high contrast large print theme? [04:01] * neurobuntu AGREES WITH HARDDISK! [04:01] anyone uses a Zyxel p330W wireless router? how do you get that to allow one host to get the routable ip address? dmz? can you assist? === alan__m is now known as Alan_M [04:01] neurobuntu: http://pastebin.ca/1046682 thats what I got [04:01] how do i get a gcc compiler [04:01] mar1, try going to #gnome [04:01] Check your .config/compiz folder. [04:01] I can find no resources on networking printers with Vista, and all I'm getting is not working... [04:01] MoreAllLess, Can I know which file? [04:01] Weems: seems like there's a .deb for Banshee 1.0.0 at http://getdeb.net/app/Banshee .. haven't used it personaly but it's there [04:01] enaner: link didn't work [04:01] ok [04:01] Darlok_Williams: i mean, the applicatoin still works, you just have to get used to it. the only annoying thing I've ever experienced is when you log in at all you backups are scheduled and it takes about 20 minutes to finish logging in [04:01] thank you neurobuntu :) [04:01] no one knows? [04:01] http://javashoplm.sun.com/ECom/docs/product_redirect_sdn.html [04:01] amenado: atheros 802.11 is what shows in the hardware drivers thing [04:01] ok fellas I'm going to get breakfast [04:02] it's 6am [04:02] See, I can print, it just goes nowhere... [04:02] I suggest you copy that folder from your profile to the other profiles. [04:02] meeper, sorry, I don't know if I can help you [04:02] unavailable: The live CD I'm using is from version 5.10 which I believe to be Badger! [04:02] Weems, that is the same pastebin as before [04:02] amenado, can you log into it? [04:02] IndyGunFreak: is the 64 bit in ne way gonna damage my comps life span or that doesnt affect ne thing? [04:02] all I want is for Banshee to appear as /usr/bin/banshee... [04:02] tara okay, what have you done to test ? [04:02] RadiantFire: Hmm... maybe I'll look for something a little simpler. [04:02] oh? [04:02] anyone know where i can get a C Compiler [04:02] aah [04:02] Not sure if it will work, but it is a try. [04:02] mar1: there's a lot of accessibility info referenced in the gdm config file. [04:02] http://pastebin.ca/1046683 then [04:02] chiselhuk_plus1 that would be the issue [04:02] madmn: why? What are you compiling? [04:02] enaner: i would strongly recommend you download/install 32bit.. then find the person that recommended 64bit to a newb, and jackslap them [04:02] ircd [04:02] chiselhuk_plus1 you got network on that laptop? [04:02] Darlok_Williams: pybackpack works well for me, though it is a Gtk app [04:02] and says no gcc found [04:02] I plugged in a 4-in-1 Card Reader with 1GB SanDisk SD card but not detected... why? [04:02] SeaPhor i can log in to it yes, its not my router its a friend, and am trying to assist him so I can login to his ubuntu behind that firewall [04:02] Darlok_Williams: it doesn't schedule stuff though [04:03] weems, your trying to build banshee right? you downloaded the source right? [04:03] I can't reduce "gamma" in my screen, I've tried usign xgamma but I doesn't work enough, It's an Ati radeon xpress 200M Using fglrx from amd [04:03] its for an ircd [04:03] I plugged in a 4-in-1 Card Reader with 1GB SanDisk SD card but not detected... why? [04:03] weems pm me [04:03] I plugged in a 4-in-1 Card Reader with 1GB SanDisk SD card but not detected... why? [04:03] MoreAllLess, which file did you change to fix that issue on compiz? [04:03] I plugged in a 4-in-1 Card Reader with 1GB SanDisk SD card but not detected... why? [04:03] How could i see if Ubuntu see's my Cdrom or not ? Its doesnt detect CD's or Dvd's .. [04:03] IndyGunFreak: i dun think its as serios as u make it ... and also i had a lotta trouble installin the 32 bit and and also the 64 bit ... i got it to work after like 9 hours ... so im not gonna attempt to install it again [04:03] madmn: it is in the repositories, no need to compile it. In any case, read ubottu's message for the future [04:03] !compile > madmn (read the private message from ubottu) [04:03] enaner: lol, ok.. good luck [04:03] I installed crossvc , a cvs client via synaptic.. But i cant see it anywhere in the start menu.. how do i start crossvc now.. Anyone knows [04:03] I plugged in a 4-in-1 Card Reader with 1GB SanDisk SD card but not detected... why? [04:03] Weems: if that .deb installs it in /usr/local bin, provide a symlink (or build it with configure --prefix=/usr) [04:03] in hardy do i have to enable another repo to get win32codecs? [04:04] harrism: easiest is medibuntu.. they are there [04:04] cedriczg, I am sorry to say that I don't remember. I recall it was in the ~/.config/compiz folder, or perhaps the file was compiz [04:04] chiselhuk_plus1 do you have a usb flash disk?? [04:04] IndyGunFreak: also i have the 256mb nvidia and dual core ... i think tahts y he recommended the 64 bit nn also 2 gig ram [04:04] hey everyone! I seem to be having a problem accessing a usb drive via an ssh session with nautilus. It won't mount the drive. [04:04] It just gives the following error: [04:04] A security policy in place prevents this sender from sending this message to this recipient, see message bus configuration file (rejected message had interface "org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume" member "Mount" error name "(unset)" destination "org.freedesktop.Hal") [04:04] amenado: i ran the checks on this page. https://help.ubuntu.com/7.10/internet/C/troubleshooting.html [04:04] enaner: lol, if you say so. [04:04] harrism: yes, medibuntu repo has that one i believe [04:04] IndyGunFreak: could that be why? or he was just dumb> [04:04] Indy: thanx [04:04] tara it would be nice if you can explain, rather than me reading a link [04:04] i got my wireless working again [04:04] MoreAllLess, thanks. I'll look in there to see what I can do [04:04] cedriczg, I don't have my Ubuntu running at this time, otherwise I would check. [04:04] somehow it was turned off in the bios (i dont know how that happened) === ffm is now known as ffm|sleep [04:05] enaner: no matter what i say, you're goign to try and justify it, so i'll just be quiet, and you can learn on your own [04:05] unavailable: I have both my pc 'n this laptop linked thru my Edimax router....does that mean they're networked, unfortunately the USB port on this laptop does not work! [04:05] MoreAllLess, what are you running. May I know? Just curious [04:05] thank you IndyGunFreak [04:05] enaner, it is simple you dont need to use 64bit. [04:05] cedriczg, you should also check out #compiz-fusion. That's where they were able to help me. [04:05] amenado, if you can log into it (i haven't used that particular one) but you should have a security section, some uncomfortable but necessary browsing and see what options are there, sorry i cant help more that that on that router [04:05] IdleOne: whats the difference? [04:05] ciao a tutti [04:05] cedriczg, I am running Windows at the moment and using Opera. [04:05] MoreAllLess, oh, great idea. Thanks a lot :) [04:06] enaner, 32 bit works and 64 bit will cause you to break things [04:06] I plugged in a 4-in-1 Card Reader with 1GB SanDisk SD card but not detected... why? [04:06] chiselhuk_plus1 open terminal on the laptop [04:06] chiselhuk_plus1 sudo apt-get install gparted [04:06] Brian88 Please don't flood, we've all seen your problem [04:06] MoreAllLess, noone is perferct. I have dual boot with Vista :P [04:06] IdleOne: break what for example? [04:06] MoreAllLess, now running ubuntu ;) [04:06] enaner, like your brain trying to figure out why things wont run when you install them' [04:06] ok im gonna stop with my dumb questions and comments [04:06] anyone in here ever use firestarter?? i am wanting to use it to setup internet connection sharing [04:06] unavailable: I did that already 'n no one could tell me wot to do next! [04:06] lol [04:06] IdleOne: so you guys are saying 64 bit is unstable? [04:06] abud, its really easy I've done it [04:07] SeaPhor i already have done those, thanks... am seeking info on what DMZ really meant on that router, and how to acquire the external ip address of the router to be assigned to an ubuntu box rather than the 192.168.x.x address [04:07] cedricgz, As an FYI, I just added one line that basically told compiz to continue running on error. But I know it added to just my profile. [04:07] rampageoberon: my ftp server is working..but I cant login....invalid login [04:07] you guys are right ... buit i dun wanna go thru that pain of reinstalling with complications ... i dun have that much time ne more [04:07] bobstro 64 bit lacks software capabilities [04:07] That's why I think you may be having the same problem. [04:07] unavailable: So what next? [04:07] neurobuntu: so how to fix it? I am very need to access the photos on it [04:07] enaner: 64 bit has little to offer over 32 bit. Not worth the aggravation [04:07] unavailable: which is different than "will make you break things" then right? [04:07] cedriczg, Good luck! [04:07] enaner, not dumb questions it is just that 64 bit is not ready for the reg user and if you dont absolutley need to use it then dont [04:07] bobstro: no, its not unstable.. its just not really ready for a novice user.. there's some 64bit distros that are really solid(Suse for example) [04:07] amenado, tracert doesn't show that? [04:07] chiselhuk_plus1 and you want to do what resize?? [04:07] Brian88 unplug the card reader. run tail -f /var/log/syslog in a terminal, then plug it back in. You should get some messages in the terminal [04:07] Brian88, try google. I've never messed with card readers, but lots of people have, just search for it on google [04:07] IndyGunFreak: well you guys have certainly been saying things that make it sound unstable. [04:08] bobstro: then you've not read what we're saying [04:08] bobstro, it is stable it just that not all apps work well with it. so why break your head untill the devs get the apps working with the OS [04:08] not one person has said unstable [04:08] SeaPhor-> is nothing to do with tracerroute, its how the router assigns the ip address information i seek [04:08] IndyGunFreak: big difference between "toys might not work" and "will break things" [04:08] whats the syntax to install source was it make | make install | ./install ? Cant remember [04:08] unavailable: I need to install Hardy on a system that has Badger, I cannot write to CD atm 'cos I don't have blank discs! [04:08] bobstro: like i said, no one person said unstable.. its perfectly stable [04:08] Does anyone have experience setting up a webcam on hardy heron? I could use some help please [04:08] unavailable: I have d/loaded Hardy 'n wanted 2 install it now, being impatient! lol [04:08] alright, opened the device manager the card is shown as i already stated. then ran the lshw -C network command and got a responce that i will pastebin in just a second. the driver appeared to me to be installed but maybe i didnt really understand what i was looking at because the troubleshooting page doesn't really specify what you are looking for when you run the command. the next thing it says is to run the command again to check if the device is on [04:08] (i can say its not because its not showing a green light on the indicator even though the switch is in the on position) then the next step is a router check (non issue at this point because the wireless selection isnt even in the network manager so how does the router come into play yet?) [04:08] gwp in general, ./configure && make && sudo make install [04:08] amenado, sorry. thought you wanted to know the wan addy for the router [04:08] chiselhuk_plus1 who brought up partitions?? [04:09] bobstro, if you read my next cooment I was being sarcastic and said it would break his brain [04:09] should i run ubuntu as my firewall and load balancer ? [04:09] nickrud: thanks === cam_x is now known as iwan [04:09] has anyone in here encountered errors with firestarter and dhcp?? [04:09] unavailable: A link that I was sent to said 2 do this. [04:09] IdleOne: ahm. :) [04:09] chiselhuk_plus1 lol [04:10] why don't the mp3 CDs I make with Brasero burn the ID3v2 tags? [04:10] i keep getting "device not accepting address" errors when i plug in a usb hard drive. launchpad bugs dating back to 2006 say to rmmod ehci_hcd, claiming that will make it go at usb 1.1 instead of 2.0 speeds, but really it just makes my usb ports cease to exist. any ideas? [04:10] unavailable: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromLinux is what I was following! [04:10] IdleOne: just a little surprised to see you guys jumping on him so bad for trying out 64 bit rather than maybe working around a few issues. [04:10] chiselhuk_plus1 ohh man actually you have the image... and a network connection [04:10] Chiselhuk_Plus1-> you have an existing linux running and using grub? you can install that iso without burning a cdrom [04:10] unavailable: Yes, but I've never "setup" the network as such! lol [04:10] Does anyone have experience setting up a webcam on hardy heron? I could use some help [04:10] ok [04:11] nitricacid what kind of webcam, mine was autodetected [04:11] chiselhuk_plus1 do you see partition manager anywhere?? [04:11] bobstro, after seeing that he was "told" to install 64 bit I knew that he was not advanced enough yet to know why he should use 64 bit or not. [04:11] bobstro: i've run 64 bit ubuntu since ubuntu's inception, it's just fine. [04:11] Phillips Webcam SPC 1300NC [04:11] unavailable: No, not on the laptop, no! [04:11] LtL: yeah, i've been very happy with it. using it for vmware server. [04:11] nickrud: finished... http://paste.ubuntu.com/19778/ [04:11] so do you guys know how to fix this java problem ? [04:12] bobstro, comes down to your level of GEEKNESS :) [04:12] chiselhuk_plus1 ok im going to step by step with you, i need to do something like this anyway [04:12] !java | enaner [04:12] enaner: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository [04:12] neurobuntu, What is your cam? I'm looking at buying one, and support would be nice. [04:12] enaner java problem? or your install problem? [04:12] Brian88 when you plugged in the device, you didn't get anymore text? [04:12] amenado i got 64 bit so java givin me some probs [04:12] nickrud: no [04:12] Tekerson mine is the internal cam that comes with a thinkpad t61 [04:12] unavailable: Yay, finally someone who realises I'm out of my depth!! lol [04:12] Hey, anyone familiar with a problem with embedded flash video/sound causing problems with Hardy? [04:12] MoreAllLess, It seams Only one user can get 3D accel. The first user claims it, and doesn't release it. [04:13] chiselhuk_plus1 ok do you have terminal open?? if so type sudo gparted [04:13] Brian88 try plugging it into a different usb port [04:13] IdleOne: so long as it's not l33tness :) [04:13] enaner oh well, i dont have 64bit stuff, good luck [04:13] unavailable: I've already done that! :) [04:13] neurobuntu, damn... I bought a t61m last week, but it doesn't have a cam :( [04:13] amenado: http://paste.ubuntu.com/19781/ thats the output of the lshw command did you see my explination? [04:13] MoreAllLess, they also told me That's currently a limitation of X/DRI/drivers. Only nvidia do that correctly right now, IIRC. [04:13] and gparted opens? [04:13] IdleOne is l33t, doesn't need to prove it ;) [04:13] chiselhuk_plus1 you have created your partition then?? [04:13] unavailable: It would if someone told me how to run it!! [04:13] nickrud, I am?! [04:13] cedriczg, Oh I see. Well thanks for passing that information along. Good to know! [04:13] chiselhuk_plus1 ok do you have terminal open?? if so type sudo gparted [04:14] Thanks! === PrivateVoid_Ghos is now known as PrivateVoid [04:14] * IdleOne hugs nickrud for the compliment. or was that an insult? [04:14] IdleOne compliment ;) [04:14] unavailable: Plse bear with me, need a bathroom break! LOL [04:14] :) [04:14] nickrud: thanks... now works!

[04:15] chiselhuk_plus1 now does the ext3 have keys next to it?? [04:15] MoreAllLess, and last info "This is getting fixed at the moment. I think airlied has an Intel branch which allows multiple users to get DRI at the same time." [04:15] BrianG whew ;) I like miraculous fixes ;) [04:15] madmn, sudo apt-get install build-essential [04:15] MoreAllLess, it is nice to share knowledge ;) [04:15] madmn, then try compiling again [04:15] hello [04:16] amenado: ok, so what now? [04:16] Tekerson, ya.. I opted for the built in webcam, the estimated shipping date was faster [04:16] enaner: if that's your only problem, can you work around it? would another program do the same thing for you? [04:16] Tekerson, granted it took over 4 months for th purchase order to get filed and I got the laptop 6 months later... [04:16] tara get it loaded and then start testing [04:16] neurobuntu, oh well.. sure i'll find an external one. thanks anyway. [04:16] ouch! [04:16] i think the little logitech ones work nice [04:16] yoyoyo [04:16] i keep getting "device not accepting address" errors when i plug in a usb hard drive. launchpad bugs dating back to 2006 say to rmmod ehci_hcd, claiming that will make it go at usb 1.1 instead of 2.0 speeds, but really it just makes my usb ports cease to exist. any ideas?

Anyone? [04:17] bobstro: yes azureus is java [04:17] has nobody else ever customized their .xsession to call .bashrc? [04:17] Nitricacid: how do ya wanna use it [04:17] meeper: i dont gt why you would [04:17] meeper I've done it in ~/.gnomerc , now I just do the path there [04:17] bobstro, yes it requires java [04:18] Dillizar: hopefully, to put a stream on the internet [04:18] meeper so I have my ~/bin in the path for alt-f2 [04:18] ok [04:18] neurobuntu: hmm. so 'java' can work apparently. never thought about it being a problem. just did a basic ubuntu hardy install. [04:18] nickrud: not sure I understand [04:18] Nitricacid: ex you wanna use it with kopete? [04:18] maco: so you can set environment variables for scripts in the gnome-panel [04:18] guys, help me, any translator I've been installing [04:18] they don't work!! [04:18] need to set JAVA_HOME and some others before I can run some programs [04:18] bobstro, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava [04:18] even for the simplest of the words! [04:18] Dillizar: whatever works [04:18] meeper that would be a very good use for ~/.gnomerc [04:18] well [04:19] help [04:19] meeper it gets read when gnome starts, and you can set env variables for the gnome session there [04:19] why doesn't xubuntu recognize my thumb drive? [04:19] Does anyone know how to use Cups with Windows Vista? [04:19] Nitricacid did ya tryed with kopete? or Skype [04:19] nickrud: I'll try it. Thanks very much. [04:19] natjo, #xubuntu [04:19] IdleOne: i saw that... but didn't have to do any of that to get azureus working on 64 bit. [04:20] why every trasnlator tool I install. [04:20] don't work? [04:20] Dillizar: no, ill look those up [04:20] IdleOne: i've tried and it's so dang quiet you could hear a pin drop [04:20] bobstro, well perhaps hand hold enaner with it [04:20] natjo try tail -f /var/log/syslog in a terminal, and plug in the drive. You should get some messages [04:20] nickrud: i was looking for you like 1m [04:20] :D [04:20] hey` because translation software sucks [04:20] bobstro: that wiki doc is obsolete in hardy [04:20] question: does anyone know where the .bashrc file is located? [04:20] garendhose in /home/user/ [04:20] nickrud: terminal then plug in? [04:20] LtL: have you got java going under 64 bit? [04:20] gardenhose: you can make one if it doesn't exist [04:20] I can realize that my self thank you very much for your help. [04:20] gardenhose: in your home dir. ls -la [04:20] host [04:20] gardenhose I mean /home/$USER/ [04:21] thanks [04:21] bobstro: yes [04:21] tara i quickly glanced at goggle for your AR242x seems to be problematic for kernel 2.6.24-16-generic [04:21] Nitricacid: tell me if you dont know how to use it [04:21] nickrud: it doesn't look like .gnomerc is getting run. does it have to be executable? [04:21] natjo applications->accessories->terminal, that will open a command line environment. Then type tail -f /var/log/syslog in there. That will track the system messages. Then when you plug in the drive, you should get some system messages about what happens when you plugged it in [04:22] Dillizar: i have no idea how to use it [04:22] :D [04:22] meeper hm, I do believe it's sourced [04:22] Does anyone know how to use Cups with Windows Vista?

[04:23] Does anyone know how to use Cups with Windows Vista? [04:23] lopin don't flood please, it doesn't make people want to help [04:23] lopin, I didnt ask for your attitude but got it anyway. your answer is in those links [04:23] Dillizar: set up a stream online, on a website. So i can watch my room from school. [04:23] nickrud: i'm in the process of pasting so you can see what it says [04:23] Nitricacid: you want to use it on yahoo, gtalk MSN [04:23] natjo ok, read through it.

I've been following those links for almost an hour, and I still have shit stuck in Printer Limbo... [04:24] I'm just asking if someone has any experience with Cups, and Vista... [04:24] dunno that Nitricacid sorry [04:24] lopin, well get that stuff out of the printer lmao [04:24] do i want gkrellm or gkrellmd? [04:24] Because the resources you guys are giving me isn't helping... [04:24] lopin: is english your native language? [04:24] Yes, yes it is... [04:25] btw Nitricacid what the adress of the web [04:25] lopin, ok listen printing with vista is probable not so complicated but I will bet that if you read the links you will find an easy to follow howto [04:25] Dillizar: i own hosting with ssh. [04:25] then what do you expect us to do? [04:25] hi, i just logged in, and ubuntu said there was an error with the gnome settings daemon. [04:25] nickrud: best as i can tell it's a medium error http://paste.ubuntu.com/19785/ [04:25] I've already read the links... Like five times a piece... And still, I have stuff not showing up in my queue... [04:26] BoltClock: Then you came here too early. Google first, ask second. [04:26] lopin: those links are well documented and I dont feel like reading the manual to you today [04:26] hi all [04:26] lopin: i haven't fixed cups and vista, but i have fixed samba and vista... first have u updated to sp1? === jpastore_ is now known as jpastore [04:26] is it safe to start firefox without gnome or X messing up?

[04:26] is there a way to change the evince/pdf default font? it looks awful right now [04:26] You want to stream the camera trough a web page? Nitricacid [04:26] lopin: if you're not ready to read docs to solve problems are you sure you're ready for linux? [04:26] Dillizar: yes that is my final goal [04:27] I'm not asking for someone to read me a manual. Those are all designed for Windows XP or older... Not Vista... I was hoping that someone would have that one nugget of knowledge that would fix the whole damn problem. [04:27] BoltClock: Go for it. If it dies use lynx from the CLI. [04:27] natjo just how big is this drive [04:27] neurobuntu, well i have yet to receive my ubuntu pay check. [04:27] amenado what's the command for viewing your kernel version...i'm thinking i'm running 2.6.24-18 [04:27] lopin: you arent paying these people, be nicer. [04:27] nickrud: a 2GB microSD card [04:27] What happens when you try to stream It ? Nitricacid [04:27] CAN'T READ A MANUAL? I nearly had to write my own webcam drivers!

If no one knows how to work Cups, and get it to work with Vista, then fine. There's definitely a lack of decent WORKING documentation on the subject, and I'm not all that familiar with Cups, and I don't know why it's not correctly sending stuff to the printer... [04:29] Dillizar: hold on lemme get skype [04:29] lopin the first google search for "cups Vista" yeilded this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=110503&postcount=4 [04:29] Rabbitbunny: the error said gnome will try to restart the daemon when i log in again. do that and see what happens, or try to fix it first?

[04:30] lopin cups can support several protocols, ipp, lpd, hplip which one does vista uses for printing? can vista print to an lpd ? [04:31] alright who were the guys that were making fun of me because i had 64 bit and im a n00b? [04:31] Nitricacid: what happens when you push the button of the camera if it has one :P [04:31] nickrud: the .gnomerc is being called, I added 'xterm &' as the last line. but somehow JAVA_HOME is still undefined argh [04:31] gah this is killing me. been at this for almost 45 mins. there must be something very stupid I'm missing heh [04:31] Yes. I had to turn it on, but it still wasn't working, and the first thing I got for "cups vista" was a plastic one... [04:31] enaner: you got it working?

I've never formatted an SD device, but possibly sudo cfdisk /dev/sdc will let you get to it. It is mounting the device itself (as sdc) === cortef is now known as learningfrench [04:34] bobstro: i didnt wann talk bout illegal stuff here so i msged u [04:34] let me think Nitricacid [04:34] ferfactor, i know, prolly because you upgraded using the upgrade tool, but didnt upgrade your virtual box kernel modules to match your new ubuntu version [04:34] natjo recognizing the device, that is [04:35] ferfactor, it caught me too at first [04:35] Dillizar: there was a prog in synaptic, webcamd - server [04:35] Dillizar: but i dont know what to do with it [04:35] any helpers pm me please [04:35] install it [04:35] :D [04:35] overrider: ohhh!!!! maybe is that the problem... can you repeat me how i can fix that please [04:35] nickrud: i'll give that a try uno momento [04:36] anyone who can help me with a samba setup/fileserver pm me please [04:36] Nitricacid: that stuff doesnt work well not for infrared [04:36] ferfactor, open synaptic package manager ; search for virtual box kernel something and update it if possible to reflect your version of the linux kernel [04:36] ok... i will do that thanks a lot :P [04:36] heh lopin left?

[04:40] Dillizar: itll prolly b like www.datelate.net/cam.php [04:40] meeper a type of shell, but with less capability than bash [04:40] I'm just surprised this isn't a well known problem. People complain all over google but there's no clear solution [04:40] Dillizar maybe.

[04:42] Nitricacid:lol [04:42] josevitor, with? [04:42] how? [04:42] some thing [04:42] just right click [04:43] nickrud: I'll put it on forums.

[05:01] yes [05:01] sudo /etc/init.d/sshd start [05:01] maybe [05:01] i don't have ssh tho [05:01] musikgoat, i will try [05:02] madmn: aptitude install ssh [05:02] sudo* [05:02] sudo apt-get install openssh [05:02] and wat should i do to fix this?? can i downlaod dtd/kdex.dtd or something?? [05:02] download* [05:02] is that right [05:02] madmn: yes [05:03] madmn: you want openssh-server [05:03] any1 have a link to a site with some good US ubuntu hardy repositories [05:03] so that i can ssh into the box using putty [05:03] is there anyway to get extra effects for compiz fusion? [05:03] l2oi3 make it server . Then edit /etc/hosts, remove the server1.example.com. then run hostname server , you should be back to a consistent state [05:03] gwp: packages.ubuntu.com ? [05:03] im trying to change permissions of a folder in a mounted fat32 file system and i get an operation not permitted [05:04] sry, make what server? [05:04] what am i doing wrong? my command is sudo chown username:username /media/disk/folder -R [05:04] i want to ssh to my box using putty [05:04] you probably shouldve mounted the folder with different permissions === ajonat__ is now known as ajonat [05:04] so change mounting options in fstab [05:04] vieraon the make file is looking for that file, but it's not in the directory it's expected to be in. But you'd probably be better off looking for a #docbook channel [05:05] likely, yea [05:05] i found it but the are not answering me [05:05] ok. its not possible to change permissions after its bee mounted? [05:05] hi my touchpad seems real sensitive and the h-scroll and v-scroll no longer work [05:05] l2oi3 those !hostname directions I gave you? follow those, that will get you back to a point where you can restart setting up the server [05:05] to give you write access, etc [05:05] they are not ** [05:05] vieraon sometimes it takes a while [05:06] I tried installing gsynaptics but it;s complaining that SHMOptions is not turned on [05:06] hola [05:06] ok .. waiting =] ...

[05:08] it wont change currently mounted systems (until reboot) [05:08] ok then. thanks v1per [05:08] yea, just umount, change mount options, mount again [05:10] DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT IT MEAN WHEN YOU NEED TO BE IDENTIFIED TO ENTER AN IRC CHAT?

[05:19] can someone help me troubleshoot my networking of me not being able to get online [05:19] thanks for helping nickrud [05:19] let me check [05:19] hi, I am trying to install ubuntu. [05:19] adub look for NetworkManager , if you're using gnome [05:20] the installer GUI is not showing up. [05:20] can someone tell me what this means by using -I if wanted? http://paste.ubuntu.com/19795/ [05:21] there is a lot of outpute but its not really telling me anything [05:21] I'm attaching a laptop with defunt screen to an external monitor, when I select "install ubuntu", after the loading screen the whole screen turns into random colorful blocks. [05:21] other than 802.11 wireless scan eth1 could not trigger wireless cscan network is down [05:21] songtao: I have but I didn't find mplayer dvb://[card_number@]channel [options] [05:21] very helpful [05:22] i noticed my icon is different for network in the upper right of my screen its not the one that will display all of my wireless connections [05:22] can anyone help to update systems in lan [05:22] if I hit Ctrl-Alt-F1, I can see a virtual console fine, but the X isn't showing up. [05:22] krim, i didn't use it for a long time with DVD. [05:22] also when i ifdown ifup ath0 it says stoppping ntp server ntpd and starting ntp server ntpd [05:22] i have not seen this before [05:23] but its been doing it like that lately [05:23] no matter what i cant get online [05:23] this stinks [05:23] adub: what are you trying to connect to? [05:23] adub try opening a terminal, running tail -f /var/log/syslog , then in another terminal do: killall nm-applet && sudo killall NetworkManager && sudo NetworkManager && nm-applet --sm-disable , see what you get in the log [05:23] is there something wrong with the anjuta package? it doesnt look like a ide, only a editor [05:23] What's the command to build only the dependencies of a program, either using apt or apt-get? [05:23] a wireless ap [05:24] i can also hardwire to my modem that i am on now with this other laptop and nothing [05:24] this modem works so neither wired nor wireless gives me internet [05:24] Coiotes to get the debs, sudo apt-get build-dep [05:24] i can stick the wifi card in this laptop with windows [05:24] and get wireless internet alld ay [05:24] nickrud: thanks, I was typing build-depends and that wasn't it. [05:25] adub: iwconfig essid essid enc on key s: should work [05:25] no i tried that too [05:25] i have a celeron based fileserver. when doing a network transfer from it, i get speed like 5mb/second. If i run something like "cpuburn" on the machine the speed increases. I assume the cpu is entering some acpi sleep state which is affecting network speed. Has anyone else had similar problems and is there a workaround ? [05:25] i have tried to manually config [05:25] whoa, live CD works, installer doesn't [05:25] i was setting up internet connection sharing and my stuff when to crap from there [05:25] linux is not kind on setting up internet connection sharing what so ever [05:25] :( [05:25] krim: does mplayer dvd://1 work? [05:26] adub do that command with the syslog open, you'll get the relevant error messages. Someone may be able to help after they see them, but it's hard second hand [05:26] ok i will manually config [05:26] hello can someone help me out [05:26] adub but run tail -f /var/log/syslog in a different terminal first [05:26] is it a horrible idea to upgrade my kernel to the newest hardy kernel (I'm still on feisty) and I don't want to do a full upgrade to hardy right now. [05:26] powertool08 yes [05:26] adub: add a sudo to that last command I said, type sudo iwconfig to see if it found it then type sudo dhclient, if that doesn't work its a driver issue [05:27] when i try to run a program with wine i get this error: " For security purposes, this program will not run while system debuggers are active. Please remove or disable the system debugger before trying to run this program again " , how do i disable that? [05:27] nickrud: so should i still with 2.6.20-16 or is there a better way of upgrading the kernel? [05:27] anyone use tintin++? I want to change it's default colors [05:27] ricardo: it's built into the windows program you're running to say that [05:27] legend2440: I type 'mplayer dvd://1 /home/username/videos/' but it only finds folders, I can't autocomplete any of the ISO-files [05:28] ricardo: it's supposed to be copy protection, but apparently it doesn't like wine either [05:28] so i cant do anything? [05:28] powertool08 I'd suggest sticking with the kernel you have, you'll get any security fixes for it from the repos, and the apps are expecting the capabilities of that kernel [05:28] ricardo you could try virtualbox.org [05:28] ricardo: nope, probably not, try searching for "wine " on google, or use virtualization [05:28] krim: i thought you were trying to play a video dvd that is in the dvd player [05:28] thank you [05:29] yay, I got installer to run now :D [05:29] how do I assign two mouse buttons to trigger an application with xbindkeys? [05:29] nickrud: ok, thanks [05:29] legend2440: Oh sorry, it's been so long since I did that so I didn't even think to say it was an iso [05:29] if I write b:2 + b:3, it will only trigger with b:2 not both button [05:29] ummm.. If I'm using a broadcom wireless card (b43/ndiswrapper), is there a way to get internet during installation? [05:29] krim is the iso mounted? [05:29] nm_device_802_11_wireless_scan(): (eth1): could not trigger wireless scan: Network is down [05:30] nickrud: i fixed the sudo issue, any ideas on how to get it to add an account to samba http://paste.ubuntu.com/19796/ [05:30] that is the last thing i see come up from when i manually configure wireless network [05:30] now keep in mind my wired network will not work either [05:30] some this is more than meets the eye [05:30] l2oi3 samba, now thats something I don't know much (if anything) at all. That's why I mentioned working on sudo at the first ;) [05:30] ah [05:30] ylmson: try fwcutter instead of ndiswrapper, I've never had problems with my broadcom card since [05:30] unavailable: Nope. I asked a long time ago and got something that I pasted and then just went back in history and edited to play the isos but I reinstalled so it's gone. [05:30] now when i do a manually assigning it shows dhclient ath0 <--- i get an ip address etc [05:31] binarymutant: how do I use fwcutter on the live cd? [05:31] but when i go browse to the internet no love as i am not connected [05:31] l2oi3 my networking is all done with ssh, no samba [05:31] I have always used ndiswrapper [05:31] i have tried other networks as well [05:31] youre looking for the scripts [05:31] http://h18002.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/10442_div/10442_div.HTML [05:31] how do you share files then? [05:31] whoops [05:31] krim http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2005/10/24/nautilus-script-to-mount-iso-files/ [05:31] ylmson: didn't know it was a livecd srry === FriedCPU is now known as FRiEd|BnC [05:32] would a system recover from hard disk save me or no [05:32] adub can you connect to your router setup address? or ping 64.233.187.99 (google) [05:32] krim: mplayer dvd://1 -dvd-device /path/to/your/DVD/image.iso [05:32] what version of wine does everyone use? repos tell me that 0.9.41 is up to date but isn't 0.9.48 or so available? [05:32] unavailable: I don't want to have to mount and unmount the files though, I know mplayer is capable of playing them without mounting so it's an unecessary extra step [05:32] well .. I'll need internet at some point, either during or after installation... [05:32] adub [05:32] anyone use tintin++ I'm trying to change it's default colors but haven't seen any docs on it [05:32] krim: mplayer dvd://1 -dvd-device /path/to/your/DVD/image.iso [05:32] Any excellent FTP clients for GNOME?

[05:33] how do I map two mouse button with xbindkeys? [05:33] you see i can stick the network card [05:33] in this laptop [05:33] and connect to that router all day [05:33] what is the correct syntax? [05:33] its not in the router or modem [05:33] its in this laptop [05:33] I thought colors were provided by the games you play [05:33] @mindvirus - I like filezilla [05:33] adub can you see your router [05:33] ylmson: all the default ones I guess [05:33] i was tring to setup internet connection sharing [05:33] rabbitod_, is it GTK? [05:34] adub can you go to 192.168.1.1 [05:34] yes [05:34] binarymutant: if you play a different game, you would get different colors, I don't think it's tintin++ setting [05:34] MindVirus: have you tried Places->Connect to server... ? [05:34] its not letting me connect to the router [05:34] legend2440: Thank you, that worked. One problem seems to have been also that The iso was named A Very.... so it was the space that messed things up. [05:34] any people who know about samba in here? [05:34] does anyone know how to port forward for ircd on a dlink wbr-1310 for port 6667 [05:34] bobstro, yes. Nautilus is terrible. [05:34] ylmson: I took the colors off the mudd, but like the start message hurts my eyes, and some of the commands are in a color I can barely see [05:34] mud* [05:34] binarymutant: however, you can remap the terminal colors in whatever X terminal you are using. [05:34] tho it shows it gave me an ip [05:35] bobstro, Nautilus will not under any circumstances connect to my FTP server. [05:35] MindVirus: it's just nice that same interface for various services incl. remote ssh [05:35] MindVirus: gftp maybe? === FRiEd|BnC is now known as FriedCPU [05:35] i cant ping google [05:35] bobstro, yes, but it sucks.

I've tried ndiswrapper to no avai already... [05:35] I'd be happy to use it if it followed protocol. === Tecno-Discon is now known as TecnoBrat [05:35] nickrud: when i try sudo mkfs.vfat -F 32 /dev/sdc this shows up does this mean the card is corrupted or there is a lot of corrupted data on the card? [05:35] http://paste.ubuntu.com/19795/ [05:35] MindVirus: is there a specific feature you want for 'awesomeness'? [05:35] adub, can you ping 209.85.173.148 === rabbitod_ is now known as rabbitofdeath [05:35] adub, can you ping 209.85.173.147 [05:35] bobstro, something that will connect to my server. [05:35] binarymutant: you said it was the command color? all commands were the same color for me. [05:36] binarymutant: things from mud should be colorable with something like #substitute [05:36] onats operation not permitted ????? [05:36] MindVirus: if your server isn't unusual, gftp should work. [05:36] how is that possible [05:36] does anyone know how to port forward for ircd on a dlink wbr-1310 for port 6667 [05:36] anyone??? [05:37] ylmson: k, but what about the startup message and the help messages [05:37] natjo if you run man mkfs.vfat , you'll find the full explanation of what -I is. Basically, it's letting you set up without a partition. [05:37] madmn, portforward.com has info for that [05:38] what up my ubuntu utnubu people!!! [05:38] ylmson: get the source and recompile? [05:38] madmn: open firefox, go to 192.168.0.1 / router ip / , login, look around, you'll see a tab for port forwarding [05:38] atheros ar5007... wireless card.... how do i make it work in 8.04 x64? [05:38] bobstro, yes, gftp will work but Nautilus will not. [05:39] MindVirus: so will gftp work for you, or you're after something more? [05:40] madmn 192.168.0.1 uname admin pw admin [05:40] MindVirus: sorry, maybe i missed something. thought you were after an ftp client.

[05:52] is it possible to show the play list and video at the same time on banshee [05:52] so im lost [05:52] SonicComKid: Did you want the full desktop? [05:52] Ubuntu Desktop is fine. I have Ubuntu Server Edition 8.04 installed [05:52] when i started out on linux ive found it hard to understand tars, and bin files is it just me or did it take awhile for all? [05:52] SonicComKid: alright, are you connected to the internet on this box? === gardar`afk is now known as gardar [05:52] I've been trying to get the GUI to install, but everything I try 'package does not exist' [05:52] yes, I can 'ping google.ca' and get replies [05:52] SonicComKid: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-destop [05:52] er, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [05:53] How do I enable Show Mouse plugin under Compiz-fusion?

[05:54] ah.. okay [05:54] running command [05:54] I can't get virtualbox to respond to any input on my keyboard [05:54] So I am considering taking the plunge and blowing windows xp off my computer and going to ubuntu full time. Just thought you'd like to know :) [05:54] unavailable, sweet [05:54] great HybridZero! [05:54] SonicComKid: its just sudo apt-get update, and what it does is downloads the package lists from the interblags. Before that, the only packages you knew about were those on the server CD (if that) [05:54] Running it via Wubi right now, and I've loved the experience :) [05:54] mikeculver ose or sun??

Each time a new version of Ubuntu comes out, I erase the CD-RW and write the new version onto it, but with the CD-R I would have to buy a new one each time, if I would install it on my laptop. However, the laptop can boot from LAN.

Nite [06:24] สวัสดี [06:24] ya [06:24] s3a: it's okay to transfer the files via bittorrent as long as you make sure noone else gets a copy of the torrent file, but a better and faster alternative would be to burn it all to a DVD or alternative hook up another computer to your network and copy the files over [06:24] when i ping i get response [06:24] its working fine in windows [06:24] chiiselhuk_plus1 k night cheryl [06:24] unavailable, was that to me?

[06:26] ubuntu_noob so you dont see, windows printer via samba? [06:26] no [06:26] Most of the drivers are available through aptitude. [06:27] Lzr, yes [06:27] s3a: if your data isn't worth an empty DVD then it certainly can't be worth hustling it to another computer via BT, but anyway. You create the torrent file (I think Transmission can do that), then you open it on the machine with the files and wait for it to finish hashing, then open the same torrent file on the target computer and wait until the transfer is done [06:27] unavail : do i need to install samba to see printer ??

Of corse, you could go to the package's site and get it there. :) [06:28] !cn | london [06:28] london: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [06:28] Lzr: you'll need to switch your repos to http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ [06:28] Lzr, 6.10 is out of support now [06:28] Lzr: the Edgy mirrors have all gone away, because edgy has been EOL for a few months now [06:28] Flannel: Aha!

Well, after 15 failed 8.04 installs somebody recommended I try 6.04 and upgrade, which installed beautifully. [06:29] lzr all in one nite?? [06:29] Lzr: that's weird [06:29] I've got an odd one tonight. I popped a disk into into my Vaio laptop that's running Ubuntu 8.04 and now it won't let me unmount the volume. The disc was a Computer music disc (Computer Music is a magazine) that I came across in a huge stack of CM discs that I was checking out. It was the only one I had an issue with. The folder stayed on my desktop for some reason and I tried deleting it, to no avail. It's currently in the trash, but "empty tras [06:29] h" does nothing. Any ideas? [06:29] i did [06:29] Lzr, lol,.,. why didnt you try 7.10? [06:29] Lzr: You know you can upgrade from 6.06 straight to 8.04, right? [06:29] negge: wat tracker do i use? and how does it matter? [06:29] do i need to configure smb.conf ?? [06:30] Flannel: Nope, had no idea. [06:30] s3a: ah yeah I completely forgot about the trackers... [06:30] is there anyhow i can see my cdrom? in grub prompt? im in grub prompt i just want to see which partition is my cdrom? [06:30] I guess you'll have to upload it somewhere and hope no one else leeches it [06:30] Lzr: LTS to LTS, yep. If this is a fresh install, you should definately think about it. Its your fastest upgrade path (well, gutsy -> hardy would be just as fast) [06:30] 6.04 & 6.06 -- which ones correct? [06:30] or 2 releases 2 months apart? [06:31] Bodsda: 6.04 doesnt exist, 6.06 lts does [06:31] s3a, ah, so 6.06 was the late release then? [06:31] how do I make the icon size of the apps on the window list larger? [06:31] ubuntu_noob im not sure, mine came as is, and works [06:31] Bodsda: the most recent release is 8.04 lts [06:32] oh ok [06:32] s3a, yeah i know,.,.thanks [06:32] now close and open the printer dialog again [06:32] hi, im installing this api http://www.alhem.net/project/sqlite/index.html i tried to ./configure but the command failed... so i tried directly with sudo make install and worked, is this a corret procedure when ./configure is not there? [06:32] This laptop has under 256MB of RAM - Should I go with Xubuntu or should I just stay at a version <8.04? [06:32] And thanks for the valuable info :) These installs have been driving me nuts. [06:33] what kinds of soft which limited download speed in local net? [06:33] Lzr, xubuntu may give better performance, but normal Ubuntu should still work [06:33] when i scan under SMB printer it shows WORKGROUP [06:33] Lzr: u can have both with sudo aptitude install xubuntu-desktop or sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop [06:33] Did my problem make any sense to anyone? [06:33] k [06:34] Bodsda: Oh okay. I was confused since the minimum requirements stated on the homepage suggest more than 256MB of RAM [06:34] ubuntu_noob keep going down the tree till you see a printer [06:34] lol [06:34] it didnt :( [06:34] negge: does private to this tracker mean that it will be private and no1 can leech it?! [06:34] Lzr: I'd go with Xubuntu. Even with the older ones, you'll get more out of your computer [06:34] Lzr, there only suggestions,.,. but you will see a performance difference between ubuntu and Xubuntu [06:34] ubuntu_noob youre also gonna have to need to know the brand, and model of the printer if it shows up [06:34] s3a: no [06:34] negge: wat does it mean then? [06:34] it showing nuthing [06:34] ubuntu_noob so you can select the right stuff for it [06:34] private means the torrent won't show up if someone outside the tracker has DHT enabled [06:35] PPKuma: it looks like it uses a handmade Makefile, so a ./configure script wasn't used [06:35] only showing workgroup [06:35] s3a: why don't you just spend 20 cents on a DVD? [06:35] ubuntu_noob is the other pc on?? [06:35] Woohoo, I have a starting point now! [06:35] lol [06:35] i have only one laptop [06:35] Starnestommy: so... its ok to go directly to make install? [06:35] ubuntu_noob and i would suggest pluggin the printer directly into that pc, unless you have a certian config set up already [06:35] PPKuma: I think so [06:35] negge: cuz my data is not organized the way i want it yet, i like i want to put them in proper folders then burn wen its on other comp and i have alot of things so i want to do it over a period of time [06:36] Starnestommy: ok, thanks [06:36] unavail my USB ports are full so i bring network based Printer [06:36] s3a: whatever, do it however you want it [06:36] there are 10 different ways that are easier for transfering files than BT [06:37] ubuntu_noob, try going to places network again [06:37] k [06:37] it has icon name windows network [06:37] when i open it it shows nuthing [06:37] I'm using Ubuntu 8.04 TLS Server, and installed lighttpd with command "aptitude install lighttpd" [06:38] ok ...

[06:38] hmmmm [06:38] in the document provided by lighttpd : http://trac.lighttpd.net/trac/wiki/Docs%3AModFastCGI#starting-a-fastcgi-php [06:39] "a script in included in the lighttpd distribution and is call spawn-php.sh." [06:39] i can't find it [06:39] im at a loss myself [06:39] Thravix, isn't ndiswrapper mean it's microsoft drivers and shouldn't work at all with ubuntu? [06:39] Ubuntu* === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [06:39] negge: ill send it using msn messenger since i have two accounts [06:40] negge: as a .zip file [06:40] s3a: usually that takes forever 'cause MSN transfers are most of the time slow do to some port not being forwarded [06:40] I'm not sure but its worked before I just wanted to start fresh but this time i have no option for WPA or WPA2 security only WEP. [06:40] ubuntu_noob ipp://192.168.0.1/printers/ [06:40] send it on IRC instead, that's what I would do if I'd send it using any IM service [06:40] and it's not hard [06:40] something like that [06:40] how do i find name of printer ?? [06:41] Thravix: Ah, then I'm probably wrong. Sorry. [06:41] ubuntu_noob whats it called in windows??

[06:42] Canon [06:42] ubuntu_noob try that [06:42] now [06:42] where should i type this address ipp://192.168.0.1/printers/ [06:42] s3a: the compression ratio depends on what kind of files you're compressing [06:43] Ubuntu_Noob, firefox should work [06:43] Web Gui has opened [06:43] negge: most of them are jpegs (school notes) [06:43] Is there a command-line prog that will allow me to send instant msgs from a script? [06:43] ubuntu_noob plug that in the ipp of the new printer box [06:45] s3a: okay. I don't think you'll be able to fit it all onto 2 GB but compressing is good anyway [06:45] askvictor: what protocol do you mean? MSN/IRC/AIM? [06:45] negge: jabber (google talk) [06:46] okay [06:46] I have no experience with that so I can't help you [06:46] ubuntu_noob ok in the ipp box of the new printer dialog... type the ip of your router [06:46] then click find queue [06:47] i did [06:47] and?

[06:47] ubuntu_noob type in only the ip of your router [06:47] no ipp [06:47] yes i did that [06:47] just 192.168.1.1 [06:47] onlu IP [06:47] only [06:48] mine is scanning [06:48] (although i have no printers connected to router)) [06:48] :( not mine [06:48] bakersfieldboy, most IRC clients have a search function to look through the channel list [06:48] 192.168.0.1 [06:49] see. it *should* see it automatically, without having to manually enter this stuff [06:50] in what directory should the header files be stored for the compiler to find them? I installed a API library but the compiler wont find the header file === gatorade_fish is now known as donkeyofdarkness [06:50] sorry no :( [06:50] could anyone help me setting up bcm4306 wireless card with fwcutter and b43 driver? [06:50] PPKuma: for manually-installed libraries, use /usr/local/include/ [06:50] srry my network is .1.1 [06:51] well im at a loss [06:51] Starnestommy: thanks :) [06:51] * donkeyofdarkness is away: sleep [06:51] anyone else know how to set up network printing?? [06:51] thanks for yr effort unavail [06:51] yep [06:52] * unavailable is getting tired too [06:52] Ubuntu_Noob, is it between Ubuntu 8.04 and Windows? [06:52] anyway [06:52] can i use windows driver in ubuntu [06:53] Ubuntu_Noob: for networking cards, you can use ndiswrapper [06:53] i have to install network printer [06:53] i don't believe that there is a wrapper... [06:53] got a question....does anyone here know of a web cam program that will work with such programs like yahoo....pidgin does not ....or at least i cant make it work with a cam [06:54] mordok, there is a seperate package that's needed for AV in yim [06:54] skype? [06:54] gyachi [06:54] for pidgin [06:54] gyachi [06:55] http://gyachi.sourceforge.net/ [06:55] jalathan what is that package.... [06:55] http://gyachi.sourceforge.net/screenshots.shtml [06:55] my ubunu hardy on my notebook can't poweroff [06:55] * Jalathan points out to unavailable that it was an addition to his previous comment [06:55] unavailable are you saying gyachi? [06:56] is a program [06:56] what is the default font in ubuntu? [06:56] gyachi supports voice and video [06:56] but not in 64 bit [06:57] Ubuntu_Noob, System Administration Printing - that is what you need there - it just works as log as you have a supported printer - if you don't you can try to get a "ppd" file from the manufacturer of your printer or the linuxprinting.org site and use it when it says printer have fun [06:57] unabiable....thank you ill give it a try [06:57] thanks all === acidicbase_ is now known as acidicbase [06:58] hi guys, now i installed ubuntu and it owned my bootloader ^^ whats wrong? [06:58] i mean, i repaired the bootloader by the way, but that doesnt fix ubuntu :p [06:58] <.<;; couldn't find it fast enough... [06:59] Canon is by far most poorly supported by linux :( [06:59] Ubuntu_Noob, what's your model? [06:59] canon MF5770 [06:59] * Jalathan does agree though [06:59] Hi, would anyone know of a free wifi enabled smartphone with a plan? [06:59] i'm back [07:00] anyone can help me,my notebook can't poweroff? [07:00] Ubuntu_Noob, kk, one min here [07:00] if anyone knows, is there a grammar channel? [07:00] shange -> hold your notebook power on button [07:00] till it turns off [07:00] or take out your battery =) [07:00] but I'll repeat my question [07:00] scummos: so are you dualbooting with xp then?what error message do you get? [07:00] would anyone know of a free wifi enabled smartphone with a plan? [07:00] scummos, you used ubuntu to do this or windows [07:01] Jackx, a bit offtopic for ubuntu support :) === Myrtti_ is now known as Guest41677 [07:01] yes ,but it can't auto poweroff when i put the poweroff button [07:01] Jackx, ask in ##hardware [07:01] k thank you [07:01] bazhang: i havent installed windows for 4 years now, i have some other linux operating systems at my pc [07:02] it show the bootsplash and then stop,i can't do anything but hold my notebook power button [07:02] scummos, you dont have grub, or ubuntu is not on it [07:02] shange -> take out your battery [07:02] bazhang: but i couldnt repair the bootloader but by re-installing a debian etch system [07:02] bazhang: i had a working grub :) but ubuntu / i killed it ;) [07:02] scummos, you need to update-grub or reinstall from livecd [07:02] bazhang: just wanted to ask what went wrong, grub error was "Error 15" [07:03] * unavailable is heading off to sleepy time [07:03] scummos, let me get you a link to reinstall grub from livecd [07:03] i will try that,thanks Jackx [07:03] bazhang: i did update-grub, it helped nothing, and grub-install 'hd0' failed with "/boot not found or is not a block device" or so [07:03] my printer is listed as a "paperweight" at openprinting.org. I have it hooked up to a windows box and was wondering if there's any way to print on it over the network from the Ubuntu box without needing a driver on the Ubuntu box. [07:03] pie-rate [07:03] simply set up ubuntu as a print server [07:04] ez. [07:04] Is xmms no longer available? X MultiMedia System in the repos [07:04] just share the printer [07:04] and access it [07:04] from another box [07:04] mouseboyx: xmms is lame, check out audacious [07:04] !xmms | mouseboyx [07:04] mouseboyx: For the reason why xmms is no longer in the hardy repositories see: http://bugs.debian.org/461309 . Consider using audacious instead. [07:04] ok [07:04] is there a way to reverty back to 7.10 after an 8.04 upgrade? [07:04] jalthan u thr ?? [07:04] onats, a fresh install [07:05] bazhang, did you? [07:05] onats, nay, but that is the way to do it [07:05] thanks [07:06] bazhang, ok.. [07:06] Jalathan u thr ?? [07:06] Ubuntu_Noob, yes, and i have some unfortinate news... acc to the following database, it does not work in linux | http://openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Canon-MF5770 | however...

[07:09] ya [07:09] hrm... [07:09] one min here... [07:09] i can also assign http on this printer [07:10] I was about to lose my mind with no xmms but adacious seems like an exact copy of it made for gnome. [07:11] ah, ic. i believe that the CUPS driver is possibly still needed to print via IPP. does it have postscript capability available? [07:11] mouseboyx, iirc most of the xmms team joined audacious development === _|Lucky| is now known as |Lucky| [07:11] Anyone got an idea of the netboot .iso issue? [07:11] so, thanks all, i just gonna wait till next update =) [07:12] cya [07:12] dwidge, what issue [07:12] evening bazhang [07:12] hi nickrud :) [07:12] no i guess [07:12] Are they compatible with future versions of Ubuntu? [07:12] i searched net but found no ppd file [07:13] (bazhang) [07:13] dwidge what do you mean, compatible with future versions? [07:13] dwidge, the minimal iso? [07:13] I posted this previously: [07:13] Ubuntu_Noob, darn, i wish Linux/cups was more universally supported [07:13] Hi, I want to install Ubuntu to a laptop that cannot read rewritable CDs. It can read CD-Rs. Each time a new version of Ubuntu comes out, I erase the CD-RW and write the new version onto it, but with the CD-R I would have to buy a new one each time, if I would install it on my laptop. However, the laptop can boot from LAN. So I want to follow this tutorial: http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/10/08/how-to-install-ubuntu-locally-over-the-network/ [07:13] ya [07:14] * Jalathan has a Pixima 3000 & 4000 [07:14] ok one last Q if anyone know [07:14] they barely work [07:14] can i install ubuntu on NAS and then boot from it ?? [07:15] hi, is it possible (i mean how) to perform only few steps from installation process? (i just want to select partitions and their mount points and then install grub exactly as it is done by installator) [07:15] dwidge: It might be easier to install via USB [07:15] dwidge: 1GB thumb drive [07:15] stodan: yes [07:15] stodan: how? pop in the cd [07:15] jalathan u know ?? [07:15] SuperQ: Laptop doesn't support it, since there's no option for it in BIOS. [07:16] stodan: it will hold your hand a ton [07:16] Ubuntu_Noob, i don't know, however i'm looking, as this does interest me [07:16] yup [07:16] ok Guys later [07:16] k, i have ubuntu installed on my 40gig, it is either hdb or sdb. can i take that drive and move it to a different computer and will it work [07:16] Good night [07:16] dwidge: well, instead of re-installing every new ubuntu release, you could just network upgrade [07:17] dwidge I don't see any mention of changing the release (gutsy, hardy, etc) so I'd be suspicious about this working with a net install other than one that matches the cd [07:17] bubye [07:17] does anyone know how to mount all my real partitions at the startup of ubuntu? i would like to have them at my desktop since ubuntu starts [07:17] night [07:17] dwidge: you don't have to use a CD [07:17] dwidge, is this a dual boot situation [07:17] onisciente: make fstab entries [07:18] dwidge: you don't even have to re-install :) [07:18] heymr, thats your answer? read question next time before you do (thanks anyway) [07:18] bazhang, SuperQ: Yes, but I actually want a clean install each time. [07:18] dfgas, it should, however, if the video card manufactor is different between the two, than you'll have to reconfigure xserver [07:18] stodan, then make your question clearer [07:18] stodan: dude I read your question. [07:18] !fstab | onisciente [07:18] onisciente: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [07:18] heymr: should I just put this command at the startup process? [07:19] !fstab [07:19] The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [07:19] Jalathan: thats easy. how would i go about changing the grub. i need grub installed on that harddrive. woul di just change the menu.lst and then somehow update grub? [07:19] bazhang, SuperQ: I got 2 PCs with Ubuntu, I want to cut down on 'bandlength', internet is capped. [07:20] dfgas, do you have only one HDD in that computer? [07:20] dwidge take a look at apt-mirror, one of the other proxy techniques. You would only have to download a package once, then feed it to the other machine [07:20] bazhang, give me a break, how 'pop in the cd' could be an answer? [07:20] the one i want to put the ubuntu harddrive in yes [07:20] dfgas, sorry, i was thinking the computer that it is currently in [07:21] stodan, we are volunteers; your question was not clear. [07:21] dfgas possibly not a helpful answer, but no reason to be snarky about it [07:21] anyway i will try to be more specific [07:21] bazhang, SuperQ, nickrud: Thanks for your help, I got to go. I will look at apt-mirror. [07:22] nickrud, ? [07:22] Jalathan ? back at you :) [07:22] Jalathan: yah the one i have it in right now has 3 harddrives. the ubuntu drive is either hdb or sdb. lol, not sure which one it is [07:22] hey i need help Fdisking a usb flash drive. using ubuntu hardy i believe location is sde7 [07:22] Jalathan, snark is sarcasm [07:22] nickrud: what? [07:22] sup [07:22] wat [07:23] anyone at all help please? [07:23] i can mount/reinstall grub etc easly (i am programmer) what i need is to recreate process of ONLY installing grub on external harddrive as it was done when i installed there system (why goes in next message) [07:23] stodan, to the mbr? [07:24] bigdaddy0522 unmount the drive, then open a terminal and type tail -f /var/log/syslog . Then plug in the drive, you'll get some output saying what device it is [07:24] dfgas, ok... well hrm. do you know which one has grub installed to it? [07:24] sda [07:24] i installed ubuntu on external usb 250gb harddrive and it worked like a charm, but then i tried to move my old system to that drive and then it broke: [07:25] so i asume that is is sdb that has ubuntu [07:25] dfgas, ah, kk [07:25] !grub [07:25] grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [07:25] how can i enable and disable persistence? [07:25] stodan when you move a linux install, you need to change the grub entry for it, as well as the /etc/fstab to reflect the new location [07:25] mhiku, on the same usb stick? [07:26] there is huge delay before loading system. before grub menu there is like 20-30 sec delay and after selection there is 5 min blinking cursor and then "Starting up..." (after that it works perfectly normal) [07:26] dfgas, ok, what you can do is move it to the other computer and if there are any issues with grub not being installed to it, what you can do is install it via the livecd [07:26] hi, i have problems with my OOO Base and MySQL connection, i have download & convert the original connector for mysql from its website, but how do i configure the odbcinst.ini file? where's the file path? [07:26] http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Hardy#How_to_restore_GRUB_to_a_partition_or_MBR_with_an_Ubuntu_Live_CD dfgas [07:27] when i enable usb-minime-2008-install-from-windows persistence, how can i disable it again? [07:27] stodan (seems that everyone needs to do this tonight) take a look at /var/log/syslog and /var/log/dmesg , you might see where the timeout is [07:27] nickrud, i have preserved fstab and menu.lst, they are ok [07:27] mhiku, ask the pclinux people [07:27] dfgas, also, the menu.lst would need to be updated on whichever HDD that contains the info. is the /boot/ dir installed to sda also? [07:27] stodan yeah, if it boots you got that done ;) [07:27] mhiku, pclinuxos people [07:27] i am on that system now, it works ok [07:28] can anyone tell me if the video player here works, ? http://www.fox.com/fod/play.php?sh=house [07:28] /boot is 512mb ext3 sdb0 [07:28] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> Lapinux, not here [07:29] Lapinux, just a blank screen [07:29] [Hardy]TuTUXG: you get the empty white space? [07:29] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> Lapinux, ya [07:29] [Hardy]TuTUXG: do you use firefox? [07:29] Lapinux, i also get it from within Opera 9.5 [07:30] nickrud, i dont think i will find there anything, becouse that delay is before "Starting up..." am i wrong? [07:30] My god......... I have windows Xp I keep getting spyware ads poping up and slowing down my computer... Does this happen in Ubuntu [07:30] bootleg34, no [07:30] bootleg34, nope [07:30] hell no [07:30] bootleg34, no. no viruses either. [07:30] if i right click the empty space it gives options for flash, i was assuming it was a flash based player [07:30] bootleg34, try firefox as well [07:30] Can I play starcraft and counter strike source [07:30] using steam [07:30] on ubuntu [07:31] !appdb | bootleg34 [07:31] bootleg34: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org [07:31] galeon is really nice [07:31] Jalathan: do you have firefox as well? [07:31] !appdb | bootleg34 chech here [07:31] bootleg34 chech here: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org [07:31] hi, i'm ubuntu hardy 64 bit user, i have problems with my OOO Base and MySQL connection, i have download & convert the original connector for mysql from its website, but how do i configure the odbcinst.ini file? where's the file path? [07:31] heh [07:31] Lapinux, hrm, one min [07:31] stodan you're right, I was not thinking well. [07:31] someone spelled check wrong on that bot :p [07:32] nickrud, i checked the timestamps and there is no delay [07:32] how come windows xp is so spyware prone [07:32] Lapinux, is the same on FF3 [07:32] ive had 3 differnet installs i keep getting this damn virus [07:32] bootleg34, no idea and offtopic here [07:32] Lapinux I took a look at the source, and it's a 'hybrid player' , I'd bet it's using some explorer functionality [07:32] hello everbody ! [07:32] <\kG> bootleg34 most used os [07:32] so that is why i asked to recreate grub installation, but exactly how install cd does it, becouse when i reinstall grub from here nothing changes [07:32] Jalathan: im wondering if this link causes anyone elses firefox to crash and close, http://www.fox.com/house/ then follow the link for "video" just down from the top [07:33] bootleg34, because anyone can install whatever they want on windows [07:33] nickrud: does initrd get loaded before or after the "starting up.." [07:33] bootleg34, you might want to ask over on #windows [07:33] !windows [07:33] For discussion and help with Microsoft Windows, please visit ##windows. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and /msg ubotu equivalents [07:33] you don't need to be an admin to alter the system [07:33] Lapinux: not a ff thing..check flash [07:33] take the windows chat there please [07:33] nickrud: oh... [07:34] ok how do u make a program run at startup [07:34] anirudh0, before starting up [07:34] Ne0_WizArd: sessions [07:34] Ne0_WizArd, put in sessions startup [07:34] anirudh0: the video, or the crash on that last link? [07:34] sessions [07:34] stodan: then it might explain your issue? [07:34] Lapinux: video i think [07:34] Ne0_WizArd: 3 menu over, under prefs. [07:34] Ne0_WizArd, system-->prefs-->sessions [07:34] anirudh0 I really don't know. Last time I did a kernel build was a couple years ago, and I've always compiled needed modules into the kernel. Never needed to know [07:35] anirudh0, not realy to boot from usb it is required to rebuild initrd with some modules after installation [07:35] question: is there any way to fix flash's ridiculously low framerate when you put it in full screen? [07:35] a did that [07:35] ok, i finally got flash and java running on 64 bit firefox 3...whew [07:35] and modules and initramfs.conf is the same [07:35] youtube-dl gardenhose [07:35] Ne0_WizArd depends on the program, gui stuff in system->prefs->sessions [07:35] Ne0_WizArd: or if you run openbox window manager.. you just add it to ~/.config/openbox/autostart.sh [07:35] stodan: oh..usb takes time to boot [07:35] stodan: i thought it was a normal hd [07:35] o ok [07:35] thansk [07:35] thanks [07:36] much appritiated [07:36] bazhang: do i need to uninstall the currently installed plugin? [07:36] anirudh0: can you check that last link with firefox and tell me if you get the crash as well, ff closes on me after i click the video link just down from the top and after it pops up a new window for the video [07:36] Lapinux, it doesn't for me, however i have the mozilla-mplayer plugin. it doesn't work though. I think that nickrud is correct. you might want to check out ies4linux [07:36] I think that flash problem is more of a firefox problem [07:36] !ies4linux [07:36] ies4linux is a script that quickly and effortlessly helps you install 3 versions of IE in Wine. Information can be found at http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Main_Page including instructions specifically for Ubuntu. ies4linux is aimed at web designers and ie-only sites, so please, don’t use any of the IEs to navigate! Use Firefox! [07:36] gardenhose, youtube-dl downloads the flash video which you can watch with vlc [07:36] anirudh0: this last time the video played for a minute then closed [07:36] Jalathan I'm using the generic flash here ;) [07:36] anirudh0, that is usb and if i install on it fresh install on it, it will work with no delays AT ALL [07:36] stodan: i'm not very sure..but it might be coz usb 2.0 is still slower than raw hd..and initrd needs to be read in its entirety === Myrtti is now known as Guest30237 [07:36] gardenhose, or get miro for more than youtube [07:37] ah [07:37] nickrud, the generic adobe flash player? or an OSS flash player? [07:37] but that defeats the purpose of streaming video [07:37] gardenhose: totem movie player searches youtube [07:37] gardenhose, miro does fullscreen flash much nicer [07:37] Jalathan: im not that worried about getting it working to install the ie stuff, i just wanted to know if it was my configuration or proprietary crap causing the issue [07:37] Jalathan adobe is one of the last non-free things on my machine [07:37] I'm neither allowed to logon via root (using GDM), nor alloweded to run anything from System > Administration menu as a normal user. So how should I run System > Administration menu programs? [07:37] * nickrud goes off to install vrms to check his freedom [07:38] Someday we will not need adobe [07:38] :) [07:38] !info vrms [07:38] vrms (source: vrms): virtual Richard M. Stallman. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.13 (hardy), package size 11 kB, installed size 92 kB [07:38] nickrud, i pointed that out because the mplayer plugin showed up with the /house/video popup [07:38] donkeyofdarkness: lol.. gnash! gimp! inkscape! hoorah [07:38] vy you should be able to run them using sudo on your original user account [07:38] My synaptics touchpad works at the gdm login screen, but after i log in, it stops responding. Does anyone know what is wrong? [07:38] does the flash-low-framerate thing plague all linux distros like this? [07:38] hey people, would anyone happen to know if its possible to remove the nvidia drivers after installing them from the downloaded binary (off the NV website)? [07:38] I haven't tried gnash yet [07:38] gardenhose, never had it here [07:39] Lapinux: works here [07:39] donkeyofdarkness: its not to good.. [07:39] heym1, inkscape is cool. what's the non-FOSS counterpart? [07:39] Lapinux: has the new season started? [07:39] nikro: Where should I type sudo in the menu? IMHO, that sudo concept is a huge crap. [07:39] weird [07:39] anirudh0: of house? [07:39] yes [07:39] !ot [07:39] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [07:39] inkscape is probably comparable to Illustrator [07:39] Jalathan: uuh.. forget what its called... [07:39] join #house [07:39] Lapinux, kk, understandable. [07:39] bazhang: let m ask one ot question please [07:39] Jalathan: ya, illi from adobe [07:39] vy when you start an app from the menu, you should get a window asking for the password [07:40] anirudh0: im not really sure, but i dont think so.... i just got back into it and hulu.com sucks for episodes [07:40] Lapinux: ? [07:40] anirudh0, feel free to do so in #ubuntu-offtopic <---that is its purpose [07:40] nikro: Yeah, I should... But it didn't. [07:40] vy if you don't, run gksu ls from a terminal [07:40] hi all, is there any similar parameter for dpkg like rpm's -q --last? to list installed packages sorted by time installed [07:41] bazhang: i never understood the idea behind a sperate ot channel..it presupposes that anyone one might one to talk to is logged on the both channels..that is rarely true [07:42] bazhang: sorry for the offtopic, i was getting help with what i thought was a flash problem and it let to one or two stray questions, i hope i didnt disrupt things... [07:42] vy did you get a window, or an error? [07:43] Lapinux: since the site works for me, its unlikely to be either a ff or a flash isue === Myrtti_ is now known as Myrtti [07:43] Lapinux: both are latest as per the main repos(archive.ubuntu and medibuntu) [07:43] hello can anyone help me set a boot flag using fdisk please [07:43] nickrud: I typed my password to the windows raised, but it gave another error. One sec... [07:43] anirudh0: im not sure where i might find a log for why ff is crashing, any idea? [07:43] bigdaddy0522 use cfdisk instead of fdisk, it does the same stuff and works much more easily [07:44] nickrud thanks ill look at it... what im trying to do is make a flash drive bootable. [07:44] !usb [07:44] For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [07:45] anirudh0: i just got the updated version of ff a day or two ago via update notification manager thingy [07:45] nickrud: Failed to run ls as user root. The underlying auth mechanism (sudo) does not allow you to run this program. [07:45] anirudh0: not sure about flash plugin [07:45] ubottu i got those links man but i dont get how to fdisk to make bootable. [07:45] bigdaddy0522: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [07:45] Lapinux: not really...you could run firefox inside gdb...but thats not a very nice idea [07:45] Lapinux: you used the medibuntu version? [07:45] anirudh0: gdb? [07:45] vy are you in the admin group? [07:45] bigdaddy0522, check www.pendrivelinux.com as well [07:45] Lapinux: sorry...forget it [07:46] vy and is this the original user you created during the install? === gordonjc1 is now known as gordonjcp [07:46] anirudh0: i dont even know what medibuntu is [07:46] Lapinux: gdb i mean..flash is from adobe site or medibuntu.org? [07:46] bazhang yeah i am at http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-ubuntu-linux-from-usb-stick.html [07:46] !medibuntu [07:46] medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [07:46] nikro: In wheel an my own group, not in admin. Must I be? [07:46] anirudh0: im running ubuntu 8.04 and a update came up for ff rc1 [07:46] nickrud: In wheel an my own group, not in admin. Must I be? [07:46] Lapinux: thats ok...how did you install flash? [07:46] vy yes, admin is the group that has sudo privs. And where in the world did you come up with wheel, it's not used in ubuntu [07:46] anirudh0: i think through synaptic [07:47] Lapinux: ahh..flash or gnash? [07:47] !gnash [07:47] An open source flash replacement. It is still beta software. For current status or for more info http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/ [07:47] nickrud: I installed ubuntu-desktop after system installation. Actually, this is a server machine and I never thought to have an X. But I needed to run Windows XP using qemu/kvm. [07:47] anirudh0: flash, gnash didnt work so well for me [07:47] Lapinux: iirc the adobe flash is;nt there in the main repo [07:47] Lapinux, that site works with useragent switcher put to vista/ie [07:48] Lapinux, a ff plugin [07:48] bazhang: you cant play video without it? [07:48] nickrud: wheel group is for my su users. [07:48] bazhang: where can i find it? [07:48] anirudh0, cannot no [07:48] strange..how did it work for me? [07:48] vy ah. Don't know if the server install does admin group. Worst case, boot into recovery mode and do adduser admin, then type exit. Should be fine then [07:48] * anirudh0 goes to check [07:48] Lapinux, mozilla addons page from within ff extensions [07:48] anirudh0: flashplugin-nonfree 9.0.124.0ubuntu2 in synaptic is what i have installed [07:48] nickrud: Heh! I think I can manage to add myself to admin group. ;-) [07:49] bazhang: im going to look for it now [07:49] bazhang everytime i go to cfdisk or fdisk /dev/sde8 it gives me error cannot open drive. [07:49] Lapinux, but very very slow to load [07:49] vy also, adm dialout cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev fuse lpadmin admin are the groups you need to be in for full functionality [07:50] bigdaddy0522, that is odd [07:50] nickrud: I won't need that functionality. I just need a working VNC session to see how Windows XP does. [07:50] vy then you should be fine. At least you know ;) [07:50] fuc u [07:50] Lapinux: even stranger..i have the same tflash [07:50] bazhang i did the dmesg and it said ...drive info is 40xx megs and whatever... thats the usb thumb i want to make bootable [07:51] hi [07:51] nickrud: Thanks so much for your help. I need to get used to that gksu stuff. === BjoernErik is now known as Bjoern-Erik [07:51] bazhang said it was sd 8:0:0:0 [07:51] during the dmesg.

[08:02] o.o [08:02] stick it in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist i would think [08:02] I did [08:02] anirudh0: /dev/hdc1 == ( hd0,0) right??? [08:02] Xavura: there's also quanta [08:02] it still loads? [08:02] but ssb is loading itself everyboot regardless [08:02] I'm dumbfounded [08:02] me too [08:03] anirudh0: /dev/hdc1 == ( hd0,0) right??? [08:03] ghost: no [08:03] and what's more, there is only one ssb.ko now, that's in my home directory [08:03] I did a locate [08:03] ylmson maybe it's in the initrd? [08:03] ghost: more likely is (hd2,0)..but wait for others as well to answer [08:03] but it *still* manages to load it. O.o [08:04] can someone please double check me [08:04] ylmson: seems like somthing in /etc/init.d is starting it on boot .. what is ssb btw ? [08:05] what's even more funny, modprobe ssb already shows: "Module ssb not found" [08:05] anirudh0 should be, /boot/grub/devices.map would say for sure [08:05] but somehow it finds it during boot [08:05] I can't believe this [08:05] yo [08:05] ghost: see nickrud's post [08:06] anirudh0 there is not mbr.bin file as the tutorial says :( [08:06] whenever I send an item to trash on the "Search for Files" app, the file gets lost.

I just installed Ubuntu 6.06 LTS on my old computer. I have connected the internet wire to it. I am using a UTStarcom modem - WA3002G4. But I am not able to connect it to the internet. Its an ADSL modem. [08:37] but it seems very slow on ubuntu [08:37] glitsj16: I tried but apparently you have to go from one upgradeed distribution to the other and the instructions (i.e. upgrade-manager -c) doesn't work in my distribution Dapper (6.06.2). [08:37] jlb, or better, backup all of your packages on cd using aponCD (check repository) [08:37] Is there anything big that doesn't work with AMD64 anymore? Does flash work? [08:37] SingAlong time 2 upgrade [08:38] if i use #mount /dev/hdc1 /home/kishorekumar/C ---- its working. but in fstab its not. why so?? [08:38] !aptoncd | jlb [08:38] jlb: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers [08:38] b0xxy: I am a newbie. and the comp I have installed it is a very old P3 [08:38] Kishorekumar: are u using BSNL Dataone? [08:38] nope [08:38] why? [08:39] SingAlong, open a terminal and type ifconfig [08:39] Can anyone help me setup my ADSL modem with ubuntu? [08:39] bazhang: yeah [08:39] SingAlong, make sure the ethernet cable is attached when you do this :) [08:39] everything in /etc/fstab is mounted except this one --- /dev/hdc1 /home/kishorekumar/C vfat auto,user,exec,umask=0000 rw 0 0 ;;;;;;; if i use #mount /dev/hdc1 /home/kishorekumar/C ---- its working. but in fstab its not. why so?? [08:40] hmm [08:40] bazhang: attached the cable. Done the ifconfig in the terminal [08:40] kishorekumar, is your question, how to automount something in fstab? [08:40] SingAlong, do you see eth0? [08:40] no. [08:40] my pidgin just crashed or just random close??? [08:40] ubottu: Thanks for the info, I didn't know that (I'm relatively new to ubuntu after working for years with Fedora). But the attractive side of Ubuntu for me was the upgrade facility where you can upgrade an axisting distribution as in FEdora I always had to install each distribution anew. [08:40] jlb: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [08:40] kishorekumar: check syslog [08:40] bazhang: No... [08:40] jlb: according to that official page you can go straight to 8.04 .. and no mention of that "-c" switch either [08:40] SingAlong, just lo? [08:40] ubottu: thanks, I'll bear that in mind!! [08:40] jlb: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [08:41] bazhang: Got a big list of info around 6 lines. [08:41] bazhang: Yeah [08:41] jlb, ubottu is a bot, and yes dist-upgrade is very usefull ;~) [08:41] bazhang: Just "lo" followed by a few lines. [08:41] :D [08:41] jib: honestly, you're probably still better off with a fresh install, but if you have /home on a separate partition, that eliminates a lot of problems [08:41] has anyone else had VNC/remote desktop freeze their keyboard/mouse once they get home from using it? [08:41] SingAlong, please paste output of ifconfig to paste.ubuntu.com; also output of lspci [08:42] bazhang: yeah [08:42] jlb: You can upgrade from 6.06 to 8.04, -c only matters if you were going from 6.06 to 6.10, to get off the LTS cycle. If update-manager-core isn't working for you, we can do it the old fashioned way, which is still rather straight forward and effortless [08:42] SingAlong, then give us the url for paste.ubuntu.com where you put it [08:42] SingAlong, youll have to provide bazhang with the pastebin links after youve submitted them to paste.ubuntu.com [08:42] I'm having troubles updating from 6.06 now :/ [08:42] Bodsda: I can burn my current distributuion to a CD but I don't think it will fit as I have downloadee more packages than will fit on a normal CD. [08:42] Lzr, what issues [08:42] jlb, then use a dvd [08:42] join #ubuntu-offtopic [08:43] check aptonCD [08:43] ziggy06, /j #ubuntu-offtopic [08:43] Lzr: Which troubles? [08:43] can nautilus change a theme ,like firefox? [08:43] YEs, but it's an old system withonly a CD burner. [08:43] Bodsda: oops thanks, missed the forward slash [08:43] ziggy06, ;~) [08:43] I went to Update Manager and got a bunch of updates, then I went to install 6.10. Clicked on Install and a box opened and closed. Closed out Update Manager and opened it again, no more option to update to 6.10 or anything. [08:43] Lzr, need to go to hardy [08:44] Lzr, install update-manager-core === PoLiMaRsPaRvIeRo is now known as Cristian [08:44] I think I did, through Synaptic, correct? [08:44] jlb, ive never used aptoncd myself but you may be able to use 2 cd's, alternatively back up /home and burn it seperately then use aptoncd excluding /home [08:44] Lzr: No, you won't go to 6.10, you'll go straight to 8.04, enable dapper-updates (they should already be) and get yourself up to date with dapper stuff, and you'll be prompted [08:44] Lzr: yes, through synaptic [08:45] anirudh0_: nope, nothing is logged about it. [08:45] so has anybody had ndiswrapper problem on hardy with BCM4306 wireless card? [08:45] kishorekumar: no silly error.mount point exists, no spurious spaces in fstab?

ALso, I seem to miss 2 buttons in the upgrade-manager interface : "prefferences" and "reload". Does anybody know how to get them visual? [08:47] bazhang: no I havent.. it worked fine before on debian, I just switched to ubuntu [08:47] jlb because the next step is hardy [08:47] bazhang: lol. plus the beeping light on my wireless button is not functioning either [08:47] seems it's not making anything easier [08:47] Bodsda: That is of course an option. I will see into that. [08:47] kk ;~) [08:47] ylmson, that is the best guide for broadcom cards imo [08:47] Bodsda: I thought the next step is FEisty?? [08:48] jlb, feisty is no more [08:48] Bodsda: Sorry, I mean Edgy [08:48] jlb, ;~) [08:48] I don't see anything about dapper - Where do I look? [08:48] ???

But the other question regards the fact that the screen interface of the upgrad-manager differs from the one shown on the help pages for Upgrade manager (the missing buttons). [08:50] bazhang: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Vista+Transformation+Pack+for+GNOME?content=63106 [08:50] Brian88: build-essential..not a good idea to compile..your thing wont be optimized..unoptimized compiz is a cpu hog [08:51] Brian88: transform vista into linux? that's easy. just install linux.

[09:08] Brian88: have you installed Emerald ? [09:09] The-Seiman: I am installing it now [09:09] bazhang: not asking about cervisia.. Just generally about cvs clients..

[09:09] The-Seiman: yes. activated [09:10] anyone, pls [09:10] Ububegin, is this gnome or kde [09:10] Brian88: well, after installing Emerald, you'll have to go to System -> Preferences -> Advanced Desktop Effects Settings -> Windows Decoration, and set the "Command" field to "emerald --replace" [09:11] bazhang: I am on gnome.. but my cvs client is kde.. is it bad thing [09:11] SingAlong, did you start up with ethernet attached or hot plug it [09:11] i tried to map the windows xp partition in grub to make it bootable [09:11] The-Seiman: I have added it to the Emerald Themer, how to activate it? [09:11] Ububegin, http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy-backports/devel/cervisia-kde4 [09:12] bazhang: started with ethernet attached. Its been there since the install. [09:12] but i end up in an error that says that the drive identifier is incorrect [09:12] i think i need a hand here [09:12] Should I remove it and reconnect it again? [09:12] SingAlong, that is truly odd [09:12] Brian88: have you changed the Command field in Windows Decoration ? [09:12] bazhang: Now what do I need to do? [09:12] [matrim]: You setup NIC bonding, here is a howto (for 6.10 but should still be relevant) http://www.howtoforge.com/network_bonding_ubuntu_6.10; note that you need to make configuration in the switch as well [09:12] my fdisk -l list looks like this, http://pastebin.com/m4bc07c55 [09:12] So... anyone able to connect wiht a tihnkpadt61p? Atheros wireless card? I need halp :( [09:13] The-Seiman: no advanced desktop settings? [09:13] is there anythin less bloated than xubuntu (not its not so fast;need it for games)?

[09:14] I have a kernel update in a CD. Its kernel version 2.6.24.3 [09:14] Brian88: go to Synaptics and check if compizconfig-settings-manager is installed [09:14] bazhang: I have a kernel update in a CD. Its kernel version 2.6.24.3. If u can tell me if this update can fix this bug? [09:14] <[matrim]> ifireball: thank alot [09:15] does fdisk -l show all i need to know to make a partition bootable? [09:15] SingAlong, the realtek 8139 is not supported in dapper lts; best to get gutsy or hardy (fluxbuntu or xubuntu)-->gnome if you have enough ram [09:15] The-Seiman: installing now [09:15] Brian88: okay :-) [09:15] fluxbuntu is supported by canonical ? (i mean updates to kernel etc)? [09:16] Can I install fluxbuntu and then is it easier to install Gnome or KDE on it? [09:16] any grub gurus around? [09:16] SingAlong, easiest is the reverse :) [09:16] bazhang: reverse? [09:16] like? [09:16] SingAlong, ubuntu (gnome) then install kde or flux on top [09:17] if i only could remember who helped me yesterday [09:17] bazhang: oh! [09:17] now i remember, it was lonetech [09:17] SingAlong, how much ram [09:17] !grub | mr_boo [09:17] mr_boo: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [09:18] bazhang: 128MB [09:19] SingAlong, need more than that to run livecd; perhaps fluxbuntu or xubuntu could do it though [09:19] how can my USB devices be working if i don't have hotplug on my system? [09:19] bazhang: As I told you before... its a very old PC. P3, 500MHz and 40GB HDD and 128MB ram [09:19] bazhang: finished [09:19] bazhang: i know how to restore grub after windows reinstall [09:19] bazhang: however, i installed ubuntu first [09:19] mr_boo, then what is the issue [09:19] bazhang: but still no idea how to enable it on Emerald Themer [09:19] Brian88, you tried drag and drop [09:20] bazhang: there is something messed up with my mapping i think, let me supply fdisk -l and a pastebin of menu.lst [09:20] bazhang: hang on [09:20] hey.. there is no SHUTDOWN option in any of my menus. How can I get it??? [09:21] bazhang: fdisk -l: http://pastebin.com/m4bc07c55 menu.lst: http://pastebin.com/m51770253 [09:21] bazhang: already in the themer actually... [09:21] bazhang: but no activate button or something like that [09:22] 2. How is a terminal emulator different from a SHELL??? [09:22] Brian88, what about dragging the tar.gz to the theme window and dropping it? [09:22] kishorekumar: a terminal emulator is a thing that provides a visual representation for a terminal, a shell is a program that outputs stuff to the terminal [09:22] kishorekumar, it's not...consider it the same [09:23] rabelais: uhm, no [09:23] bazhang: it's .emerald already [09:23] I have a patch I want to apply to a package; what's the process? I can apt-get source the package; what then? [09:23] OK. terminal emulator is front end of the shell. right?? [09:24] I can't get VMWare Player to run. It simply starts up then stops when it's about to show the program. [09:24] bazhang: whatever i supplied in the mapping appeared to be wrong info [09:24] mr_boo, did you find grub then update-grub? or was that menu.lst written manually [09:24] hi all [09:24] hey.. there is no SHUTDOWN option in any of my menus. How can I get it??? [09:25] bazhang: i had to add the win xp menu item completely by myself [09:25] BeBoBli, get vmware-server from canonical partner repos [09:25] WPA and WPA2 options disappeared from my wireless device's configuration panel [09:25] under Hardy [09:25] Hey, can anyone help me with getting an Atheros card from a tihnkpadt61p up and running so i can have some wireless fun? [09:25] bazhang, but I already have the player installed with everything it needs... [09:25] how can I re-get them? [09:25] I get this error when using rsync over ssh/sftp: "rsync: failed to set times on ". Any idea what may cause this? Permissions are all full open [09:25] BeBoBli, does it work? [09:26] bazhang: is vmware-server in hardy now? [09:26] mr_boo, so now cannot boot into windows or ubuntu [09:26] bazhang, Well, it went through the installation just fine. However when I select it from the menu it just doesn't run all the way. Also it's not in the repos. [09:26] bazhang: i can still boot ubuntu [09:26] askvictor, in canonical partner repos yes [09:27] bazhang: seems like the information i supplied in the win xp menu item is incorrect [09:27] ... partner repos? [09:27] mr_boo, that does seem to be the case [09:27] bazhang: now how do i have a clue what to write in there? [09:27] now I still have WEP option (ascii and exadecimal) [09:27] mr_boo, never had windows so no idea sorry [09:27] bazhang: thanks anyway [09:28] BeBoBli, yes the canonical partner repos [09:28] any grub gurus around [09:28] Found it [09:29] ora digam la bom dia!!

[09:29] :po [09:29] bazhang, I just added the partners and it does not have anything related to vmware in it.

I added partners, reloaded, and searched for VMWare [09:31] i need some advanced grub support [09:31] And all that popped up was the usual nvidia driver support [09:31] bazhang: you sure you running hardy? [09:32] askvictor, yes :) [09:32] I think you have another server enabled or something [09:32] how do i know if for example sda1 corresponds to (hd0,1) or (hd0,0) etc? [09:33] bazhang: I remember it being in gutsy, but I can't find it in hardy still... so I've been using virtualbox in the meantime === Acidwp_ is now known as acidwp [09:33] askvictor, that is odd; it shows up under my hardy install just fine === tlbs is now known as d00m [09:33] hi all [09:33] I'm going to restart and hope for the best bazhang and askvictor. I'll report back. [09:33] I can't change theme === d00m is now known as starscream [09:33] do you know why? === starscream is now known as tlbs [09:34] if i only could find a guy that knows how to configure grub in an advanced way [09:34] bazhang: can you pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list? [09:34] mr_boo : funny question; how advanced ? [09:35] H__: i need to add a menu item manually for my win xp partition [09:35] http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=4357442&postcount=10 askvictor it seems my old gutsy had it installed odd that apt-cache search would still show it though under hardy [09:35] strange that it is not picked up automatically [09:35] who knows why I can't change themes and icons? [09:35] H__: how is that done properly? [09:35] how can my USB devices be working if i don't have hotplug on my system? [09:36] LinuxRevo: what happens when you attempt it? [09:36] textchimp, what do you mean? [09:36] nothing at all [09:36] mr_boo: nothing at all [09:36] mr_boo : how many harddisks in your system ? where is ubuntu on, where is xp ? [09:36] bazhang: isn't hotplug required to be able to unplug and replug USB devices? [09:36] textchimp, thought that was handled by the kernel now [09:36] H__: one physical disk, http://pastebin.com/m4bc07c55 [09:37] no help for me and my "WPA disappeared" question?

[09:37] textchimp, what causes it to hang === lagann is now known as lagann_ [09:38] bazhang: real funny [09:38] really [09:38] tore not kidding [09:39] H__: let me check [09:39] mr_boo: any idea? [09:39] bazhang, askvictor, no go [09:40] bazhang: an Intel under a Core 2 Duo environment [09:40] LinuxRevo: not really at this point [09:40] http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=4357442&postcount=10 BeBoBli [09:40] moaiamorfo, what does lspci say the card name is [09:40] mr_boo: ;-) thanks anyway [09:40] moaiamorfo, put in paste.ubuntu.com if more than one line [09:41] LinuxRevo: try desktop preferences again and make sure you hit apply so that the settings take affect [09:41] can i install Ubuntu onto another drive while running windows . Or is it best to boot into the drive i want to install Ubuntu on [09:41] bazhang: I'm under Windows now and I must reboot to get the info. do you need other infos?

[13:05] tilda* [13:05] when I tried that script, my kubuntu was crashed too so I had to reinstall it [13:05] why do i keep getting a keybinding error w/ tilda? [13:05] oldenglish, i had / have the same problem... couldn't fix it [13:05] ok [13:05] _Ben: I would suggest that you replace sshd and telnetd with your own "modified" alternatives that to logging [13:05] maybe I should try this again [13:06] _Ben: you might find you end up with some pretty huge log files if you're not careful, though [13:06] <_Ben> ne2k__ thanks. is that the only way to do it? all we really need is to track if files get deleted and if 'dbaccess' is launched and the output it gives [13:06] _Ben: on debian/ubuntu, the system does it for you in /var/log/auth.log [13:07] how do i get playback (by command - i cant get gnome-volume-manager thingie to work, on xubuntu here...) [13:07] <_Ben> ifireball: thanks. unfortunately our server is stuck with a 2001 release of sco [13:07] playback for mic :D [13:07] would anyone know why when i try and start Pidgin IM the window opens, and then closes immediately? i checked and the process itsself stops running aswel... :( [13:07] hi all [13:08] medfly: microphones can be a pain depending on the sound device [13:08] _Ben: you can get complete shell logging by wrapping the shell with "script" [13:08] medfly: im not sure if this is what you need, but alsamixer controlls volumes from the comand line [13:08] _Ben: there's always more than one way to do it ;-) you could pump your logs through a script that only logs the bits you're interested in and dumps the rest [13:08] IndyGunFreak, well, the mic does work, at least on skype, i just want playback [13:08] hmm, [13:08] _Ben: e.g. I suppose you can replace a users shell in /etc/passwd with script or just run it from his .profile or .bash_profile [13:09] Rioting_pacifist, yeah... i don't know how to make it have playbacxk there.. thanks :) [13:09] Pxrboy: try starting pidgin from terminal, that way it might spill some error messages .. without those you're in the darik [13:09] _Ben: you could move dbaccess to dbaccess.real and write a script called dbaccess that runs dbaccess.real | tee logfile [13:09] hi guys [13:09] glitsj16: il give it a try :) [13:09] Hi, what package has the xorg sources? [13:09] Hi All! [13:10] I hope that you are well.. [13:10] i would like to knw...why is it whenever i use pidgin there's no sound at all???it's as if my sound card is disabled and i cant hear anything [13:10] _Ben: depends on how meticulous you want to be. if you want something that no-one can get around, you're going to have quite a lot of work. if you just want to catch the majority of cases, that might work [13:10] <_Ben> ne2k__ I like your style... any way to prevent access to dbaccess.real witout having run dbaccess? [13:10] _Ben: what ne2k__ said only with "script -c dbaccess log.file" instead === Kopfgeldjaeger2 is now known as Kopfgeldjaeger [13:10] ifireball: yep, sorry, |tee is crap ;-) [13:11] medfly: i never got my microphone to work, there are a couple of commands like arecord to do it on the lowest level, on a GUI level all i know about is kre but im sure there are equivelent xfce or gnome tools [13:11] ifireball: maybe script -c dbaccess $* log.file [13:11] _Ben: using informix there? [13:11] <|Kamen|> tech0007: Gnaural is installed and appears to be working. thank you for your help [13:11] <_Ben> yes [13:11] ifireball: or do I mean script -c "dbaccess $*" log.file [13:11] Hi all, is there a way to set my terminal resolution to 1280x800 ??? [13:12] I am trying to share the home directory of my ubuntu machine with a windows machine. I have installed samba and the appropriate lines in the smb.conf. However when I try and access it from windows, although it is browsable, when I try to open my home directory I get a 'is not accessible' error. [13:12] i mean console-resolution [13:12] Any ideas? [13:12] _Ben: well, you could make dbaccess.real executable only by root, then suid root the wrapper script, but that's a bit ugly [13:12] Rioting_pacifist, woah, arecord is weird. [13:12] slmm [13:12] Pxrboy: anything usefull pidgin-wise ? [13:12] Rioting_pacifist, thanks. i mean by playback, i want to hear the noise coming out of my speakers as well. i'm a freak like that:) [13:12] kimse [13:13] yokmuu [13:13] alooo [13:13] :) [13:13] _Ben: there might be a more elegant solution based on the same principle [13:13] !envy [13:13] envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) and has community support. As an early version, its results may vary but this should be used over the unsupported envy package. [13:13] I recently bought a laptop and installed ubuntu on it straight away and am now trying to use it as a replacement for my desktop but I am having issues with dual screen. I have my laptop on the right and want to use my main monitor as my primary but I cannot get it to work as an extended desktop for the life of me. Any suggestions? === Meat_Pie is now known as Nchalada [13:13] <_Ben> ne2k__ thats kind of what I was thinking but the people have root access anyway. [13:14] azcazandco: what have you tried, what happens? [13:14] azcazandco: What kind of video card are you using? [13:14] _Ben: there's very little way of stopping someone who has root access doing anything at all ;-) [13:14] NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now. [13:14] medfly: im suprised theres no microphone setting in alsamixer or the gnome tool, you could always pipe arecord to aplay or something wierd as a tempary fix [13:14] <_Ben> ne2k__ the problem is our system is maintained by a software house with 400+ employees and we dont know how many of them know our password [13:14] Is there way to make x-chat send identify command on startup? [13:15] _Ben: if someone has root access they can change and/or delete the log files anyway, so I see this as rather pointless [13:15] is an nvidia 6100 go, I have thwe drivers and I have tried both twin view and also separate x but both times I get a signal out of range error [13:15] gotta go [13:15] <_Ben> ne2k__ many thanks [13:15] I can manage to disable the laoptiop display and enable the external [13:15] but not both [13:15] exit [13:16] Can Someone Give Me A Guide On How To Install TestDisk.tar.bz2 Ive Tried And Failed Many Times. [13:16] Hello. I use OOo Impress for a presentation. There are audio files linked to some slides but I can't hear anything (playing the files with an external player works). Where do I have to set the output device OpenOffice should use? [13:16] ne2k__: well, I didn't RTM enough to nail the specifics, exercise up to reader :P [13:16] Hi all, is there a way to set my console resolution to 1280x800 ??? [13:17] Hi, how can I play shn files? [13:17] ok, ive tried opening Pidgin in terminal, spewed a large message which i dont know what to do with so would someone be able to take a gander at it? :) [13:17] <_Ben> ifireball can you advise further? I was thinking it may be possible to pipe the log output to an xml service on a server under my control. that way users with root access on the unix box would not be able to delete the logs. [13:18] Rioting_pacifist, like... arecord > aplay? [13:18] Pxrboy: use the paste.ubuntu.com service, report back with the url that gives you after copy/pasting the errors and i'll have a look [13:18] i have a problem with firefox... if i enter something in address bar it uses live.com instead of google.com (as it used to be) to search for a result.... why? how can I fix this bug? [13:18] thanks will do :) [13:19] Is there way to make x-chat send identify command on startup? [13:19] voodoo, could be an addon [13:19] no [13:19] JannoTT, ctrl+S [13:19] i've just deleted ~/.mozilla directory [13:19] same result [13:20] save transcript? [13:20] glitsj16: http://paste.ubuntu.com/19870/ theres the paste site :) [13:20] JannoTT, uhm... is that xchat-gnome [13:20] yes [13:20] voodoo: you have to type about:config and scroll to the default search engine. that's how i fixed mine a while back. [13:21] Pxrboy: okay, give me a minute, i'll report back [13:21] JannoTT, ah.. that is for the ordinary \xchat... look for "network list" somewher e, maybe [13:21] thanks :) [13:21] oldenglish: any suggestions? [13:21] browser.search.defaultenginename;Google === dmsuperman[] is now known as dmsuperman [13:22] adrian1520, any other suggestion? [13:22] Can anyone say why the x-server was updated today? [13:22] medfly: oh found it. Thanks! [13:23] medfly: yeah you probably need some wierd --variables and i think it would use | instead of > [13:23] azcazandco: hmm, dont have any experience with that card...hold on [13:23] m-c: read the changelog [13:23] o.o [13:23] jrib: The changelog said no information available at this time [13:23] no worries [13:23] Hi, what package has the complete xorg sources? [13:23] Voodoo: no, type about:config scroll to Keyword.URL and change it to http://www.google.com [13:24] jrib: at least that's what it said in the update manager. Is there a better change log to look at? [13:24] m-c: that's because the changelog server is slow, you should still be able to look at it in the source package I guess [13:24] _Ben: wow, I can't believe ppl still use that... was a good DB in its day though... [13:25] adrian1520, it's google, all right? [13:25] ubuntu comes with any app to install fonts? Its just I can't find it, so to look at the repos then [13:25] how do i find out what program is using a port? [13:25] jrib: My understanding was that the update manager was only going to push out security patches. Isn't this x-server software just the new version released this week, first new version in 1.5 years? === cyclobs_ is now known as cyclobs [13:25] ne2k__: that would mean users get root access when they run it, I think it has a drop-to-shell command... [13:26] hi. i have /dev/sda5 that reports as unknown in parted. /dev/sda6 is linux-swap. df shows both of them as 500M tmpfs (identical) mounted at /dev. parted shows /dev/sda5 as 18 G unknown, and /dev/sda6 as 1.8 G linux-swap. anybody understand what is going on?

[13:27] <_Ben> ifireball tell me about it... the system we run is an insurance package written origianlly 15+ years ago that has been added to repeatedly [13:27] tzfardea, http://etree.org/shnutils/shorten/ [13:27] Pxrboy: that's one messy pidgin ... looks like there might be a SSL plugin activated but none available in your system .. hold on please [13:27] anyone here know how to fix studdering sound in games?

[13:28] ok, cheers mib_aanhvl [13:28] _Ben: sorry, awfully lagged here, ISP is acting up... about the logging, I know syslog can send the logs to another machine, not sure how can you make script log into it though [13:28] Pxrboy: did you activate/configure anything like that recently ? Just asking, might give me some more info on a possible fix .. [13:28] jrib: Wow, thanks for checking on this for me. I really appreciate it. Where did you find it? [13:29] surabaya [13:29] <_Ben> ifireball ok thanks. I'll put some presure on the developers... [13:29] because a) i don't know where ubuntu tracks them, i'm not an ubuntu user, and b) it would mean creating another account somewhere that i'm unlikely to use again [13:29] m-c: I downloaded the source package (apt-get source PACKAGE) and looked at debian/changelog [13:29] i figured someone here would have such an account. [13:29] not that i know would affect it, just installing some new programs like skype and WINE [13:29] why do i get permission denied if im root and i type " /dev/sda5 /media/Vista 64 ntfs-3g force 0 0" [13:30] setjjjr === u^A_ is now known as u^A [13:30] adrian1520: because /dev/sda5 is not a command?

Sorry new irc interface [13:33] yes ircleuser [13:33] ok il look now :) [13:33] yes [13:33] Hi, is there to copy permissions from one directory to other, using a command? [13:33] Hello.

[13:51] k, am at the bottom of the file [13:51] <_Ben> that would give everyone access [13:51] jakesnake: you could make a shared folder? i'm not sure on that topic [13:51] <_Ben> jakesnake yep thats what i'd do [13:51] hello.

[13:57] :) [13:57] I hate to say this in frustration, but when an install just fails and it's best explanation is that it has a 'broken pipe' I'm not impressed no siree.

[14:11] glitsj16 how do I find out what wireless driver I am currently running so I know for future [14:12] with 3DMark 2001 ( using wine ), I get around 25 FPS, is that good ? [14:12] is there a modprobe -l or something? [14:12] is it safe to upgrade a running gutsy production machine to hardy? do I have to remove (a lot) of packages beforehand and reinstall them afterwards? [14:12] bvm1: lsmod gives you what's in there presently [14:12] RaceKondition: No problem at all. [14:12] glitsj16 thanks a lot [14:13] RaceKondition: When you upgrade, the old packaged are replaced by the new. Don't think any important packages will be removed from the machine, though it will probably just upgrade them. =] [14:13] Is there a way to allow auto-login without using the "Login Window" administration tool [14:13] glitsj16 gah, it's running the old bcm43xx module, I have a feeling the update I am doing will stop it working again [14:13] Is it possible to set transparency for selected applications in the panel? As it is now, the whole panel is transparent except whichever application has focus, which is solid. [14:13] Nevermind, now it opens [14:14] ne2k__: can i use that even if the computer does not have any software just formatted hard drive [14:14] /msg ubottu etiquette === Odd-rationale_ is now known as Odd-rationale [14:14] mysterycool: I remember once dist-upgrading Debian from stable to unstable and I got problems, so my friend recommended removing most non-essential packages first. but this is untrue for gutsy to hardy upgrade? [14:14] bvm1: hope you can get it going, your welcome [14:14] hi , how do i open wine folders? [14:15] mysterycool: and will be upgrade be atomic/transactional? if something fails, can aptitude/apt-get roll back everything else too so my system will remain as it was before? [14:15] abdulla: go to ~/.wine/drive_c [14:15] The-Seima1, where is it? [14:15] RaceKondition: I have never used Debian, however with Ubuntu it is not going from stable to unstable. At least for hardy, though Hardy does have quite some bugs. I believe that the developers rushed to bring it out and it is not 100% fixed yet. [14:16] The-Seima1, how can i open it? [14:16] abdulla: the directory .wine is hidden, so you have to check "Show hidden files" in nautilus [14:16] mysterycool: so maybe I shouldn't upgrade at all? I wouldn't but I need some packages gutsy doesn't have [14:16] RaceKondition: Yes, apititude (I find synaptic much more fun to use :p), will be able to get everything back. Nothing important will be removed, just upgraded. [14:16] The-Seima1, nautilus?? [14:17] abdulla: nautilus = the file manager you're using right now ^^" [14:17] Ayabara: do you know how to convert one file? [14:17] RaceKondition If it is just a couple of packages why not see if you can just get those, or dual boot gusty stable and hardy until it works for you [14:17] bvm1: purge that old one perhaps, installing the b43-fwcutter and activating it in 'hardware drivers' ishould do it ... f that doesn't work there's always the brute force option of blacklisting the old one (put it in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist) Goodluck :) [14:17] RaceKondition: Oh, well then, I, myself, upgraded just to check Hardy. However, I am not really pleased with this version of Ubuntu. I hope that the next one will be really better. And it is not just me who is not pleased. At the first days of Hardy when many were upgrading, I've seen many around here complaining at bugs or errors at Hardy. [14:18] The-Seima1, how do i check hidden files? [14:18] mysterycool: does the bugginess apply for Desktop software mostly? because I'm running a server system with no X [14:18] RaceKondition: However, if you really need those packages, I'd suggest upgrading, it is not THAT bad after all. At least not as bad as Windows :p it is ok, just some bugs here and there. [14:18] mysterycool: what kind of bugs? [14:18] The-Seima1, nvm [14:18] abdulla: press CTRL+H [14:18] The-Seima1, ya [14:18] mysterycool there are always issues when a new version is released. I never used edgy for any length of time [14:19] abdulla: then you'll see the .wine folder [14:19] * N3bunel saluta [14:19] The-Seima1, ya thnxs [14:19] RaceKondition: To be honest, I prefer going the graphical way and not through commands though they come handy here and then. And, indeed, people who were asking help with errors or bugs where involved with Desktop applications, I don't remember seeing anybody having errors with the Terminal. [14:19] ifireball, I can dig that up. what I want is to take all flac's below /media/disk/music, and put them in /mnt/storage/music using the same subdir-layout [14:19] soundconverter is the easy way :-) [14:19] mysterycool What packages in particular did you really need or want.. and bugs are the usual video and wifi drivers [14:20] Jack_Sparrow: Indeed, they do, however Hardy is quite of a disappointment. [14:20] hi when i run the vmwar insalion terminal says i must be a super user to contiue [14:20] mysterycool: hmm, I need someone who's running a server system telling me whether it's worth the effort right now [14:20] how is it disappointing? [14:20] mysterycool It is for you, but there are tens of thousands that had no issue with it [14:21] RaceKondition: Oh, sorry then, I cannot assist you there. Check around though, definitely someone will be on server system. [14:21] mysterycool: thanks anyway for your help :) [14:21] Jack_Sparrow: Maybe, though it has not been just once when I had discussions with people saying that Hardy was a disappointment. [14:21] is anyone around here running a live Ubuntu server machine? [14:21] RaceKondition fyi we do have #ubuntu-server [14:21] RaceKondition: No problem, anytime. =] [14:21] oh, Jack_Sparrow, thanks, I didn't know of that [14:22] I have just bought a new monitor for my Thinkpad T61p laptop. How do I clone the screen to the new monitor, so that I can use dual screen? I have tried "xrandr --output LVDS --auto --output VGA --auto --same-as LVDS" but that did not work.

[14:49] is 8800 GT or 8800 GTS better with ubuntu [14:49] hmmm so open a terminal and type alsamixer [14:49] am a total noob with linux, so please hand-hold me through the changes :) [14:49] k, 1 sec [14:49] am there [14:49] How can I create a new ~/.fluxbox/menu file? fluxbox-generate_menu is missing [14:50] KrimZon: see 'man ldconfig' [14:50] wildthing4ever, let's msg to not disturb the other ones :D [14:50] k, cool [14:50] tech0007: thanks [14:51] bbl.. installing Ubuntu now [14:51] tech0007: the main problem is i configured and compiled an app and it put its libraries in /usr/local/lib and then can't find them when it runs [14:52] KrimZon: did u do configure, make and sudo make install [14:52] tech0007: yep === tommi is now known as ambi [14:53] KrimZon: compiled apps normally put libraries in /usr/local/lib after u run configure, what program is it? [14:53] How can I create a new ~/.fluxbox/menu file? fluxbox-generate_menu is missing === ambi is now known as __ambi__ [14:54] tech0007: BuGLe - http://www.opengl.org/sdk/tools/BuGLe/ [14:55] KrimZon: check if /etc/ld.so.conf.d/libc.conf contains /usr/local/lib [14:55] tech0007: yes, it contains that [14:57] KrimZon: 'sudo ldconfig -v'........see if it lists /usr/local/lib [14:57] Daenyth: have you tried "sudo update-menus" and logout/login again to re-generate it ? [14:57] hello [14:57] no, let me try that [14:58] tech0007: yep, it mentions it [14:58] KrimZon: what's the path to the libraries? [14:58] Daenyth: ok, that should take care of it if my fluxbox memory is any good :) [14:59] It didn't seem to do anything. Do I have to log out or can I just restart the WM [14:59] tech0007: how do you mean? [14:59] hrm [14:59] eh, I can just scp the binary from elsewhere [14:59] Daenyth: i think fluxbox regenerates only at new login [15:00] KrimZon: do u see /usr/local/lib/bugle and /usr/local/lib/libbugle* [15:01] hmm... [15:01] it's ok, the other worked [15:01] Hi, there! I make part of the Brazilian Portuguese Translation Team but I don't know how to download the Intrepid Ibex Alpha 1. Can anyone give me the URL where it is? [15:01] thanks though [15:01] KrimZon: did u follow the instructions http://www.opengl.org/sdk/tools/BuGLe/documentation/install.php#install-configure [15:02] ZehRique: Its not available yet, but you can join in on the wait in #ubuntu+1 See https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/intrepid-changes/ for more info [15:03] hi guys :) [15:03] tech0007: yep, i think so [15:03] Pici, hmm... OK, Thanks. [15:03] Why wouldn't sudo work if gethostbyname(my hostname) fails? [15:03] KrimZon: try running it...paste the error if you see any [15:04] DanielHolth: Security measure. sudo can be configured to allow stuff on a per-host basis [15:04] ldconfig does say that some libbugle stuff was linked to other libbugle stuff [15:04] whoops, I guess I shouldn't have changed my IP address on my hosted server. [15:05] KrimZon: you cant get it to run? [15:05] for my question some minutes ago, if you want to use ubuntu with existing FAKE-RAID1 Array, just run dmraind -ay with a live system, then you will see the RAID-Array and not sda and sdb [15:05] dmraid -ay [15:05] tech0007: get what to run? [15:06] KrimZon: bugle [15:07] <[CG]> digg [15:08] <[CG]> wrong keyboard :( [15:08] tech0007: it runs now, i manually made a link to the library it complained about, but then later complained about some other libraries missing [15:08] DIFH-iceroot Is that live cd then F6 then dmraid? [15:08] KrimZon: so its ok now? [15:08] now it doesnt complain about those either... but nothing seems to be happening [15:08] KrimZon: waht are u trying to accomplish exactly w/ bugle? [15:09] Jack_Sparrow: ??? live cd ubuntu 8.04 [15:09] DIFH-iceroot Where do you type or add dmraid? [15:09] just get it to output stuff about another program, to see how it uploads textures and stuff [15:09] basically run something via gdbg-gui [15:10] I previously installed windows XP on my system.... the installation subsequently went bad. The NTFS partition still works and is readable/writable by ubuntu 8.04 livecd. When I install ubuntu on a new partition on the same drive, the system still tries to boot windows. Help? [15:10] Jack_Sparrow: first you have to add the universy repo, then you cann get dmraid with apt-get install [15:10] KrimZon: ok, thought your benchmarking, [15:10] halo [15:10] hey, ubuntu isn't showing my wireless connections...can somebody help? [15:10] i am new to ubuntu [15:10] ,mount [15:10] ,automount [15:11] got an Intel card, that was working before the upgrade from 7.1 to 8.4 [15:11] wildthing4ever: does it show your wireless card working properly? [15:11] how do i automount the cdrom0 drive? [15:11] how do i automount the cdrom0 drive? when a cd is put in etc [15:11] Jack_Sparrow: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5174091#post5174091 [15:11] hi every one [15:11] AndrewGearhart When you installed ubuntu, where did you write the grub? to the mbr of the first disk or a partition [15:11] andrewgearhart: how do I check? [15:11] pub: should be automatic since feisty (i think) [15:12] DIFH-iceroot got it thanks.. it wasnt for me. just wanted to clarify how you did it.. [15:12] and now i can use ubuntu 8.04 with my fake raid1 array :) [15:12] could someone help me to solve the Wireless network problem? [15:12] * stabbyjoe12 does anyone no what thinapp is? [15:12] andrewgearhart: the wireless light is on, on the laptop [15:12] but no wireless networks are detected [15:12] Jack_Sparrow: First time, I used the guided... so I didn't select. Second time, I used the the "advanced" button and selected the disk [15:13] Jack_Sparrow: suse is doing this step himself, so it would be very nice if the next ubuntu can do this step to automaticly, because for linux "noobs" its hard and they dont like something like that [15:13] hi~ [15:13] Jack_Sparrow: when I selected the disk, it will boot to grub... but then when I select ubuntu... it says something about not finding the os or something similar (can't remember the exact wording... I'm sorry) [15:13] could some body give me an aid? :) [15:13] DIFH-iceroot they improve raid setup on each realease so we will se how they do [15:14] I am trying to connect to my linksys router. All I seem to get is a message: "it works!" instead of the admin window :( [15:14] Jack_Sparrow: hardware raid is great with ubuntu but fake-raid... :( [15:14] is launchpad down? [15:14] AndrewGearhart Are both windows and ubuntu on the same drive and how many drives are there [15:14] wildthing4ever: I'm trying to remember... there's a command that starts with an L that I was using last night to see the assignments of hardware that was running successfully (was using it to see my video card's multiple heads to try to figure out how xorg was to be configured after I got everything installed) [15:14] lpsci? [15:14] How can I find out which is my linksys access point? [15:14] IdleOne: nope === rexbron_ is now known as rexium [15:15] DIFH-iceroot I quit running raid after drives stopped being such a bottleneck in a system and came up to speed [15:15] ok my installation of 8.04 is done, now i will check if grub has detected my suse and ubuntu [15:15] wildthing4ever: yes, I believe... I'm stabbing in the dark here... I'm no expert by far. [15:15] tech0007, ok it loaded up. guess it was slow [15:15] thanks [15:15] Jack_Sparrow: i feel safer with RAID1, yes i know its no backup system... [15:15] Jack_Sparrow: there are two drives... but I'm only working with one... a 250gb one... has both windows xp and ubuntu on it. eventually... I want to get rid of the xp partition... but wanted to grab the files into my ubuntu partition first. [15:15] :) [15:15] ><; Could somebody help me >< [15:16] will try and get the driver from the intel site...brb [15:16] tech0007: thanks anyway... i need to take a break from it and try again some other time [15:16] Hello .. :) [15:16] ok i am off, cu and have a nice day [15:16] AndrewGearhart Are you running live or did you get to the ub install [15:16] DIFH-iceroot You to :) [15:16] I get "It works!' at http://192.168.1.2/ and http://192.168.1.1 [15:17] hi,seems i can't connect to my wireless router But my vista runs well [15:17] i want to change my kernel on ubuntu 8.04 to 2.6.25.6 [15:17] runs live very happily... and did the install from live... but haven't been able to get ub to boot from the install yet [15:17] Hi, Micasf, I have the same problem. Please, show me the command output "lspci | grep -i network" [15:17] I am pretty sure the access point is 192.168.1.1 as .2 is my eth1 gateway [15:17] teo-: then u have to compile your own [15:17] i can't get my cd rom drive to moutn when a cd is inserted [15:17] /win 8 [15:17] Tiberio, would you mind waiting? [15:17] because i'm on vista now [15:17] tech0007, is there any good guide for that ? [15:17] haha [15:18] AndrewGearhart You are writing grub to the wrong place... Is the windows/ub drive set as primary drive? [15:18] Micasf, ok [15:18] pub: check your /etc/fstab if it has auto in the cdrom line [15:18] where is it? [15:18] tech0007, i changed it from noauto, to auto [15:18] AndrewGearhart Oh, and are you mixing ide and sata drives [15:18] Tiberio, i will come back soon [15:18] wait [15:18] Jack_Sparrow: in bios, yes. and yes, I'm mixing ide and sata drives... the one I'm booting (set from bios) is the sata drive... [15:18] Micasf, install a IRC client in ubuntu. [15:18] go into grub and type in find /boot/grub/menu.lst [15:19] teo-: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=56835 [15:19] you should get the device no. of the partition which grub is on [15:19] But i am sharing network with other [15:19] AndrewGearhart Mixing drives can really mess with you.. I can reference several links where it is an issue [15:19] hi there, does anyone have an idea how to set up broadband through wifi in xubuntu? [15:19] so i can't just take the wire out and use wired connection [15:20] Persi > Try ndiswrapper ? [15:20] maybe i go to linux first [15:20] wait [15:20] waiting... [15:20] Jack_Sparrow: I believe it! ;-) would I be in better to get everything setup with the sata 250 first, then reconnect the ide 40gb? [15:20] AndrewGearhart With mixed drives some systems will randomly swap between ide and sata as the primary drive and cause havoc [15:21] ndiswrapper seems like a driver and I don`t have anyproblem setting up wifi card [15:21] Salùùùùùùùùùùùùùùt [15:21] xÐ [15:21] so I can connect to wireless networks [15:21] Peng [15:21] AndrewGearhart Actually, I would get or borrow one of the $15 external usb drive adapters for your ide after you get the sata setup [15:21] Jack_Sparrow: I don't think that is the case here... its hitting the sata drive for boot ... but the xp partition instead of the ubuntu partition [15:21] Persi [15:21] Persi [15:21] hi [15:21] Persi [15:21] tech0007, i changed it from noauto, to auto [15:21] any german ppl here?

[16:46] JimmyP, what card is it? [16:46] Broadcom or Intel [16:46] AndrewGearhart: It just means you've got a good memory.

[16:49] IndyGunFreak: if I can't get the intel integrated video to work... i guess I'll have to go that route for my dual monitor setup... but I'm not going to give up just yet. I'm okay with complicated... as long as its "possible" [16:49] arvind_khadri, i've uninstalled the plugin but still no sound =( [16:49] I have a repository question. I have made my work a local hardy repository (with apt-mirror) for our FAI system I implemented. We would like to have the "hardy main" tree frozen for our cluster machines, but we would also like other users in the office to use the repository and recieve updates. My question is, does the "hardy main" tree get updated, or does just "hardy-updates main" get updated with new versions ? [16:49] JimmyP: this is a good one as well https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WiFiTroubleshooting [16:49] swatTX, hmm happens...the install might have just done something with the other libraries which is causing so [16:49] AndrewGearhart: yeah, hopefully you get it working, i'm just not real confident in the Intel chipsets... some of them, its hard to just get desktop effects to work reliably [16:50] swatTX, no help on the forums too [16:50] !info pastebinit [16:50] pastebinit (source: pastebinit): command-line pastebin client.

[16:51] heymr, for key I want b:2 + b:3 (for instance), it doesn't work [16:51] AndrewGearhart: Do you have any knowledge--or a website listing--of where to find instructions for dealing with using cd's as a dist-upgrade source? I've done all the updating and upgrading I can do. When I do a dist-upgrade I get this output: http://rafb.net/p/9MBDS266.html [16:51] heymr, do you know the solution? [16:52] swatTX, or else leave him a message from here and check back when you come later... [16:52] problem number one solved [16:52] pen: did you run the xbindkeys thingy and hit a key? [16:52] heymr, what do you mean [16:52] Firefishe: I do remember reading about that at one point... but I don't remember where off the top of my head. sorry. [16:52] pen: hold on [16:52] IndyGunFreak: I'm actually banking on the idea that once I have ub installed fully... the screen resolution applet will solve all my problems for me! ;-) [16:53] heymr, it works for a key then a mouse, but not two mouse buttons at the same time [16:53] arvind_khadri: thanks. will do [16:53] An update installed a newer kernel, but after reboot the previous one is still being used. Do I have to edit grub's menu.lst myself or is there an automated way to do it?

[16:53] Hey Gin, no joy! [16:53] pen: mouse buttons? thought it was for keys... lol [16:53] THe article suggested the wireless would work, but just not the light. [16:54] I did the update but nothing new!! [16:54] hey , trying to install nvidia driver and its telling me to closi xserver, whats that? [16:54] pen: what are you binding it to and what wm are you using? maybe you can set it there... [16:54] heymr, do you know much about the keys in xbindkeys? [16:54] JimmyP, can you see a wireless connection in iwconfig? === guest is now known as Guest75537 [16:54] heymr, I'm trying to binf to apwal [16:54] arvind_khadri, he's afk right now so i left a message. thanks for trying =) [16:54] Firefishe: might aptoncd help you out with that ? http://aptoncd.sourceforge.net/ (it's in the repo's) [16:54] heymr, I'm in ubuntu using gnome, no, I can't set that in gnome [16:54] pen: well.. its seems pretty simple... http://rafb.net/p/tV8gpc97.html < AndrewGearhart: hopefully it all works.. [16:55] problem number 2: I plugged a new HDD into my server and it shows up in storage device manager as sdc (the others being sda sdb and hda) when selected however it doesn't give me the option to mount it. how do I mount it? [16:55] i see the wlan0 - at 802.11a [16:55] how to close xserver on ubuntu? [16:55] heymr, no, I don't want to have to press a key with a mouse button, I just want mouse [16:55] pen: you can set it in rc.xml with openbox wm.. mouse button actions I mean [16:55] blue_wolf, stop the gdm or kdm service. is one way [16:55] IndyGunFreak: yeah. [16:55] would I need to format it? if so how would I do that? [16:55] JimmyP, then it is working :\ [16:55] pen: openbox will let you do that... xml is hard to go through though :/ [16:56] running gnome how to stop it? [16:56] JimmyP, what did you do to try to connect? [16:56] im nobb on linux [16:56] yeah - but no! [16:56] heymr, let me assign a two-mouse-buttons trigger? [16:56] I can't see or scan anything - all settings are greyed out [16:56] Firefishe: you need the alternate Ubuntu cd to upgrade. here are different methods http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading#head-e48a0e69b52e605383bbfc727322f8d0ce0f7d99 [16:56] heymr, but i'm using gnome [16:56] JimmyP, what settings? where? be more exact please [16:56] pen: openbox = metacity counterpart, gnome- de [16:56] blue_wolf, 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop' will stop X instantly. [16:57] heymr, I don't want to use openbox yet [16:57] I right clicked the network icon [16:57] heymr, I just want to solve this [16:57] ty [16:57] pen: middle clicking does not work? [16:57] hi there channel :) [16:57] heymr, if I assign only a mouse button of course it works [16:57] Hi, does anybody here overcome the problem afecting dapper/6.06 regarding bug PR28045 (gcc optimization bug) ? dapper server should be supported up to 2011 and gcc is a vital part ! [16:57] JimmyP, the icons on the top right corner? [16:57] heymr, I can't make two buttons work at the same time to trigger an app [16:57] pen: oh I thought you wanted to DO something.. check your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file if your mouse is using synaptics driver [16:57] yes [16:58] Notscape, there is a reason for hardy being LTS [16:58] hmm.. I hate to spam the channel again. Anyone? Anyone? Repository question? Read the backlog [16:58] Notscape: That doesnt look like a valid bug number. [16:58] heymr, I am asking about xbindkey ofcourse I want to DO something [16:58] pen: synaptics driver handles this I think [16:58] and also 'edit wireless networks' [16:58] heymr: DO something = run a command with an action [16:58] heymr, why synaptics now? I didn't mention anything about synaptics [16:58] anyone around that might be able to answer a question about linux 2.6 and free memory accounting? [16:58] but no networks are seen [16:58] heymr, I only ask about mouse [16:58] pen: DO something = run a command with an action [16:58] heymr, yea [16:58] ok [16:58] HardDisk: I have a server in production... and cannot change releases so easy [16:58] heymr, isn't xbindkey obvious enough? [16:58] JimmyP, System -> Admin -> network it is on the panel [16:59] heymr, don't you use xbindkey to DO something? [16:59] Pici: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/dapper/+source/gcc-4.0/+bug/178637 [16:59] ok hold another tick [16:59] Notscape: Error: Could not parse data returned by Launchpad: The read operation timed out (https://launchpad.net/bugs/178637/+text) [16:59] JimmyP, do you have a wireless connection there? [16:59] Notscape: Found it anyway, you may want to ask about that bug in #ubuntu-bugs [16:59] anyone has here a linuxmail.org email account? [16:59] pen: xbindKEYS will NOT solve your mouse problem... sorry buddy [16:59] yes, roaming mode is on.... [16:59] heymr, and if just want to say, if you don't understand what b:2 + b:3 mean, then we can end the conversation [16:59] Notscape, I understand, but there is a reason each LTS has it's shelf life, and upgrading to hardy lts is pretty straightforward, 6.06 LTS won't have issues, except for a few minor factors, you may want to try to upgrade in a vm and see what breaks. [17:00] JimmyP, okay, you have to unlock first before editing [17:00] done [17:00] pen: lol... do you want help or not? [17:00] heymr, because you are not helping [17:00] Notscape, as an admin you'd understand these points without it being explained to you. [17:00] pen: whats your question [17:00] JimmyP, now, uncheck the roaming mode en put in your network details [17:00] heymr, I said how do I make xbindkey work with two mouse button hitting at the same time [17:01] ok. [17:01] heymr, if I only assign to one mouse button each time it works [17:01] but what if i goto an airport and need to just scan for networks? [17:01] HardDisk: I understand you...but then....dont use LTS acronyms in releases ! [17:01] JimmyP, then okay to save the settings [17:01] heymr, I can't make for instance pressing left click and right click at the same time to trigger gnome folder [17:01] pen: what are you assigning to it? [17:01] i thought it worked just like the mac - i right click on the icon and it shows me the available networks [17:01] pen: look at nautilus preferences for clicking [17:02] Notscape, yea like feisty and gutsy for example, but even LTS have their shelf life. Anyway, good luck. [17:02] JimmyP, not always, some routers hide their essid so they won't be listed [17:02] heymr, how is nautilus going to solve this problem? That was just for example [17:02] HardDisk: yes...up to 2011 they "say" [17:02] JimmyP, but for most ppl the network icon on the panel should work. [17:02] I know, but here we can see at least 6 other networks. [17:02] heymr, it's about xbindkey not nautilus [17:02] pen: you want to open everything by clicking both mouse buttons at the same time? [17:03] HardDisk: I am not asking about third party packages...I think gcc is important [17:03] heymr, I want to make xbindkey open the intended program with two mouse buttons at the same time [17:03] Jack_Sparrow: hopefully be back soon. [17:03] pen: you need a wrapper I think for xbindkeys to do mice settings... [17:03] heymr, what do you mean [17:03] agreed. [17:03] heymr, you mean two xbindkey? [17:03] JimmyP, but there are other utilities to scan for wireless networks, see gnomefiles.org [17:04] pen: are you registered with freenode? [17:04] heymr, yea [17:04] pen: identify yourself and join #archlinux, they have your awnser [17:04] heymr, really? [17:04] ok - i'll go google some more! [17:04] pen: I just asked [17:04] maybe change to redhat ;-) [17:05] may i ask some question ? [17:05] how long does gparted take to scan devices normally? [17:05] JimmyP, g'luck. [17:05] i have dvd repo [17:05] but why apt still get from server [17:05] thanks Gin. i may need it. [17:05] (It worked fine in earlier ubuntu releases btw!!) [17:06] bonjour [17:06] ccpb the dvd only contains mian, not multiverse, universe etc [17:06] JimmyP, go back to that release [17:06] hurm... typing on my usb keyboard doesn't keep my laptop's screen blanker from blanking the screen...

[17:06] yeah, i always prefer to upgrade rather than downgrade though [17:06] php is not in main ? [17:06] jim___, there isn't really a lot of new things in hardy except a new gnome version with some improvements [17:06] anybody know how to make either the screen blanker stop blanking the screen or the usb keyboard keep it from blanking? [17:06] Daonix: Yes, but you need aspell [17:06] how could I go on a french server please?

You may need to boot with it enabled to use it. [17:31] i've tried that, boot with it enabled and boot with it off then enable it after logged in- it's wierd tho, after first upgrading to 8.04 it worked fine, now i get nothing [17:32] computer: You could also look in /var/log/messages to see what is reported about discovering the 3945 hardware.

[17:33] computer: One experiment is to try using 'sudo modprobe -r iwl3945; sudo modprobe iwl3945' to unload and load the driver module. That is just an experiment rather than a reliable workaround. [17:33] HardDisk: it's installed already what's the website [17:33] hugo: that looks like you haven't set pulse up in ./asoundrc and/or /etc/asound.conf .. can i drop by ?

I thought the xserver-xorg-core update from this morning was the cause, so i rolled it back but it still happens. Ideas? [17:59] EvilDennisR: I don;t see anything that might conflict...

I was saying that the sense of the kill switch may not be clear if it is just a push button with a non-working light. If the kill switch is a slider then you can just check the label.

[18:29] castel: as an alternative you can use mplayer with the realplayer codecs [18:30] longstone, but Mint is not ubuntu, it's a derivative, the sources are the same, but they are trying to branch out. [18:30] !mint [18:30] The following are some examples of Ubuntu derived distributions that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes, please consult their websites for more information: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), Ubuntu Ultimate [18:30] GreyGhost you can edit fstab to be read only ro [18:30] longstone, since they are developing applications separately as well.

(i'm trying to get a Siemens SL42 running through a serial cable) [18:33] Jack_Sparrow, Ok I have a terminal launcher. I click it, terminal starts.. good. It kinda glows, to show it's running. I then shift-click it to get a second terminal. I minimize both, but I can only get the first one I clicked back. After that, it's a mystery where the other one has gone. [18:33] I'm having some strange problem with the gnome remote desktop (vino), anybody here who can try replicate the thing and hopefully can help? Seems it stops listening if I tick the option "only allow connections from the local machine" [18:33] tell me please [18:33] bye bye - a nice experience to find out that I already can help some people with Ubuntu - maybe one time I will be a Linux Pro [18:33] tell me please [18:33] !info testdisk [18:33] testdisk (source: testdisk): Partition scanner and disk recovery tool.

[18:35] syntaxblack, you keep asking about window products, maybe it's best to install it in a vm environment especially apps that require special environments wine cannot provide. [18:35] lmosher I minimize it... and can still get to it [18:35] Jack_Sparrow, And just not minimize stuff? heh [18:35] Jack_Sparrow, sorry wrong button. How?

Is there some "apt-get install ..." command for one of those particular packages that will install all the kernel stuff I need? Or do I need to manually install a bunch of packages separately? [18:40] EvilDennisR: Maybe if you could try and see if the same happens to you [18:40] John_S, depends on your arch and if you need the restricted drivers or not etc. [18:40] rampageoberon: So why do you need to specify local connections only [18:40] I am using this command on my Ubuntu: cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@pmlibs.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/pmlibs login [18:40] after that it ask me to type password, i just press enter [18:40] and it comes back to console [18:40] EvilDennisR: I don't want the server to be available from any host [18:40] John_S: linux-headers-2.6.24-16-generic linux-image-2.6.24.16-generic linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-16-generic and linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-16-generic should do it [18:40] but there is no files anywhere, or any evidence that he downloaded files?!?

[18:46] rampageoberon: Paste the ssh syntax you're using to create the tunnel [18:46] pen: not sure [18:46] DrHala2, remember your phone isn't a music device, I have the same phone.

[18:55] EvilDennisR: Ok [18:55] DrHala2, will keep that in mind for the future :) [18:55] rampageoberon: negative, didn't work.. [18:55] Tamale What format is on the flash and does it show up in fdisk [18:56] EvilDennisR: any ideas what the problem could be? [18:56] :tamale usb sometimes funny with hardy, try adept, search usb, change a bit.. so i did [18:56] it's just fat16 [18:56] another problem ive is that ubuntu always creates a trash folder on the flash drives if i delete something i think its kinda stupid ,) [18:56] EvilDennisR: I think its strange one option is killing things :( [18:56] http://pastebin.org/43762 [18:56] there's the dmesg output [18:56] after i plug it in [18:56] DrHala2, that's for your safety.

It only makes sense. [18:57] not on a usb flash drive where you delete to make space :P [18:57] rampageoberon: so ssh -R 2700:localhost:5900 [18:57] the most intelligent thing would be to move the files on the hard drive [18:57] DrHala2, that is for your personal use. We need to serve the masses. [18:57] EvilDennisR: Why would i want a reverse tunnel out of curiosity? [18:58] rampageoberon: We're trying to trouble shoot it, aren't we! =) [18:58] EvilDennisR: Okay doing it now [18:58] it complains about an invalid mount option [18:58] yo does any1 know whats the soft called which like is mini-terminal where you can type a name of the app and it will launch up [18:59] lw0x15 you're talking about xterm / kde's konsole / *term ? [18:59] lw0x15, Alt-F2 [18:59] fdisk returns a crazy partition table [18:59] EvilDennisR: Okay done [18:59] or he might mean an xterm [18:59] which doesn't make sense, because the drive comes up with the full 2gb fine in windows, fedora, and osx [18:59] H__, nop its not xterm [19:00] rampageoberon: ..does it work ? [19:00] rampageoberon: I turned on enable encryption, now I can't connect to my machine again =) [19:00] i use fluxbox.. so if i launch an app from terminal i cant close the terminal [19:00] DrHala2 We try to avoid that type of discussion in here. If you join #Ubuntu-offtopic there may be people that can explain why they chose to put deleted files on the same drive's trash that they were deleted from [19:00] so i had a lil app which allowed me to open up a little command line [19:00] EvilDennisR: Yeah I had that problem with encryption too, so i don't use it [19:00] type the apps name in and it closes down [19:00] EvilDennisR: and nope not working [19:01] rampageoberon: well now I have to wait until I get home to turn it off [19:01] thx Jack_Sparrow [19:01] np [19:01] DrHala2 It is all drives not just the removeable ones [19:01] EvilDennisR: You have X11 forwarding enabled? [19:02] rampageoberon: Oh yeah, I do.

[19:08] which folder besides /home should be backed up? [19:08] HardDisk: Hmm... tabbing it doesn't work. Isn't there some way simply search through all my installed package names for a string? ("libglib") [19:08] Firefishe: those are 6 oackages related to build environment .. any problems running your system without those ? (sorry if i didn't get your question correctly) [19:08] rampageoberon: I dunno what the deal with the encryption is. I'm using the real vnc viewer (not xvncviewer) and it sez wrong/no encryption [19:09] rampageoberon: I'm not sure where you should submit a bug, someone else in here prolly knows [19:09] rampageoberon: launchpad sounds right maybe [19:09] !bug [19:09] If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug report at: http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu - Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [19:09] John_S, apt-cache search [19:09] EvilDennisR: Okay, thank you very much for the help [19:09] John_S, and it does work, trust me.

I mean, I'm not building anything right now, and I've got so many libraries now, the loss of six probably wont' matter much. However, I've been reading a lot of issues with 7.10.

I'm in recovery mode in the console--I wouldn't think that would make a difference, but is that my problem with tabbing? [19:12] ashu...what is your question? [19:12] Firefishe: that's understandable, you can always live cd the newer ubuntu's to check those out while your upgrading hardware [19:12] i was wondering if there is any "scheduler" type tool for ubuntu so that i can schedule my downloads to start and stop at some particular time [19:12] ashu: cron [19:12] ashu, deluge schedules. [19:12] ashu: like some sort of download manager? [19:12] ashu: crontab -e [19:13] yup download manager sort of [19:13] ashu from torrents etc? somthing like rtorrent [19:13] oh a deluge scheduler ? [19:13] ashu, d4x might have this.. but I'm not sure [19:13] ashu, do you need it for torrents? === leonel_ is now known as leonel [19:13] ashu, deluge schedules I told you check plugins [19:13] !info rtorrent [19:13] rtorrent (source: rtorrent): ncurses BitTorrent client based on LibTorrent. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.8.0-0ubuntu1 (hardy), package size 346 kB, installed size 968 kB [19:13] and for normal files (not torrents)? [19:14] ashu, use a firefox plugin [19:14] ashu, search the firefox addons site [19:14] HardDisk : which one? [19:14] ashu, download manager [19:14] HardDisk : ok [19:14] glitsj16: Yeah, I already tried kde 4.0.x on the live cd and it just didn't work well. I've already found one glitch in the adept_manager program. The file menu hierarchy Adept>>Manage Repositorities doesn't open the repository dialog, but reloads the available packages instead. It's weird. [19:14] ok break time for me. [19:14] bbiab [19:15] glitsj16: The more I use adept, the more I like synaptic ;) [19:15] EvilDennisR , Starnestommy, HardDisk, Jack_Sparrow, kane77 : thank you :) [19:15] Firefishe: no argument there ;) [19:15] glitsj16: Eventually, later this year, I want a laptop system with at least three hard drives, one with Ubuntu/Kubuntu, Debian, and possibly Open Solaris [19:15] can the w32 codecs be used by totem also or just mplayer? [19:16] glitsj16: and the more I use the command line with apt-get, the more I can't even fathom what an .rpm is ;) hee === JuAnXT is now known as Ghost-Buster [19:18] hello, trying to get my PalmOne Zire 72 setup. dmesg shows it as "new full speed USB device" only, and doesn't give it any assignments in /dev/. Is there something i need to modprobe? [19:18] pidgin segfaults. I enabled apport and submitted a report (bug #239797) and wanted to do it again without the nvidia binaries. now pidgin still segfaults, but apport wont' come up - why not? [19:18] CarlFK: Bug 239797 on http://launchpad.net/bugs/239797 is private [19:18] SilentDis: do you have jpilot or some app installed? [19:18] is there anyone here that can assist me in setting up a "server" on my computer so that I can test PHP and other coding languages? [19:18] CarlFK: yep. I'm on Kubuntu, so I've got Kpilot installed. it doesn't detect it either === stabbyjoe12 is now known as MOD-Sam [19:19] iv lost all sound any helpers [19:19] SilentDis: hang on, there is some jpilot setting... [19:19] tstiffler: check https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP. It's a good guide for setting up a webserver [19:19] CarlFK: i've got jpilot installed too, let me try that instead [19:19] b4l7424r: i think totem has its own gstreamer plugin set for those === Ghost-Buster is now known as Serious-Black [19:19] Starnestommy: thanks, is that for a localhost? [19:20] guys i have a problem i've deleted manually a user from the /etc/group and /etc/passwd files and something is has gone wrong now because when im trying to sudo something its saying you are not in the sudoers file!! Can someone help??? [19:20] SilentDis: jpilot, file, prefs, settings, serial port: usb: [19:20] How do i play a .iso file??! === Serious-Black is now known as JuAnXT [19:20] SilentDis: it defaults to something else [19:20] How do i play a .iso file??! [19:20] mitchell: probably broke the file. [19:20] mitchell: boot off another medium and fix it [19:20] tstiffler: I think that listens on all available addresses, but there's a way to easily make iot local-only using the file /etc/apache2/ports.conf [19:20] wasabi yes but i eed to now whats wrong in it [19:21] mitchell: You broke it. Not much more than that will be available. [19:21] _NiC are you the op? [19:21] mitchell: Possible there is a parsing error in the file. Find it. [19:21] mitchell: Maybe you removed yourself from the wrong group. [19:21] Starnestommy: hmm...I guess I'll have to do a bit of reading, as that's kind of confusing, I'm new to a lot of this but I need to learn for a new job [19:21] mitchell: Maybe you made a typo. [19:21] mitchell: Maybe you deleted a group you shouldn't have [19:21] m_newton, iso files are disk images, they are copies of cd contents put into a single file, you have to extract the contents of the image to a disk such as a cd-rom. [19:21] wasabi ye thats the prob [19:21] hello ,how can anyone tell be ,how can i watch youtube via opera 9.5? [19:21] mitchell: passwd provides the list of users to the system. group provides the list of groups. if sudo says you aren't in the sudoers file, then look in the file. [19:21] Who *is* in the sudoers file? [19:22] (hint: by default the group %admin is) [19:22] So, does the system consider you in the group admin/ [19:22] Apparently not! [19:22] alan_m, so can i just play them without burnig them or can i extract them on my harddisc? [19:22] hi all. I'm trying to bond eth0 and eth1 (wired and wireless). My eth1 keeps getting deauthenticated (I'm using wpa_supplicant). What's up? How can I bond the two? [19:22] hey ppl, I know this is not a problem, just an info: there is some program to convert python to exe ? [19:22] tstiffler: all you need to do is change /etc/apache2/ports.conf once apache is installed so that the line that says "Listen 80" says "Listen 127.0.0.1:80: [19:22] Has anyone here installed the Crossfire game client before? [19:23] tstiffler: sorry, that last : should have been a " [19:23] wasabi surely not and all i deleted a user form the passwd and the group file [19:23] m_newton you can also mount them like a physical CD - I think there is a clicky gui way [19:23] was it your user? :) [19:23] Starnestommy: Oh, I see...that makes more sense then. Thank you very much. Do you have a lot of experience working with this? [19:23] m_newton, you must extract the contents of this file and if it has multimedia files then you may play them in your multimedia player, if its just text files and stuff like that, then im afraid you wont be able to "pay" them...but only look at the contents. [19:23] Starnestommy: got it.. :) [19:23] wasabi i need a copy of these files from another system [19:24] how do you find where the Synaptic installed something if you don't know the name of the file? [19:24] *play, sorry m_newton [19:24] Can I get install help here? [19:24] marion: click on the package and hit properties [19:24] Hillshum just ask your question [19:24] marion: its under the installed files tab [19:25] I turned on my old HP with the CD already in. It installed, loaded the background, and froze [19:26] mitchell: They ain't hard files, really. [19:26] mitchell: Should be easy to spot any problems. [19:26] Hillshum... did it load the liveCD then crash, or did it crash after you installed? [19:26] hello ,how can anyone tell be ,how can i watch youtube via opera 9.5? [19:26] wasabi ye but everything seems allright [19:26] EvilDennisR: found a bug about that, seems it rejects IPv4 on enabling that option :( -- https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vino/+bug/196675 [19:26] Launchpad bug 196675 in vino "vino only listens for ipv6 connections" [Low,Confirmed] [19:26] wasabi dont know were is the prob [19:26] it installed then crashed [19:26] Hillshum when you boot the live cd it doesn't install anything (just making sure you know) [19:26] rampageoberon: aw suck [19:26] i did install [19:26] Hillshum... what video card are you using? [19:26] Hillshum, how much RAM do you have in your pc? [19:27] NVida [19:27] wasabi what can i do to put me again as an admin [19:27] EvilDennisR: Lets hope its fixed soon [19:27] 256MB (approx) [19:27] rampageoberon: hopefully they'll fix that [19:27] EvilDennisR: yeah, thanks again for your help :) [19:27] rampageoberon: looks like its been open for a few months [19:28] hi, i want to install dictionary to openoffice 2.4, but when I try to do it through the wizard only small window like this http://i27.tinypic.com/fejdc0.jpg shows up and i cannot see anything [19:28] Hillshum, your almost pushing the limits of the cd's recommended space with the ram, that "might" be your issue... [19:28] also, my serial trakball's light isn't on [19:28] alan_m: I ran into a problem like this before [19:28] Hillshum: Are you booting the live cd, or just the installer [19:28] mitchell: Make sure the fiels are fixed. Not much else. [19:29] wasabi ok then [19:29] i booted the CD and choose install [19:29] Hillshum, I would recommend using the alternate install cd for your pc. [19:29] Hillshum: hardy ? [19:29] another downlaod? [19:29] Hillshum: I'd get the alternate install cd like alan_m suggested [19:29] Hillshum, im afraid so. [19:29] Hillshum: Yeah, the alternate install cd installs with out a gui [19:30] !ubotto | xine [19:30] Factoid ubotto not found [19:30] !xine | candive [19:30] Factoid xine not found [19:30] hi, i want to install dictionary to openoffice 2.4, but when I try to do it through the wizard only small window like this http://i27.tinypic.com/fejdc0.jpg shows up and i cannot see anything, how can I resize it ?

[19:30] EvilDennisR: Apparently its going to be fixed in 2.24, so i'll wait and check when it updates vino (using 2.22 now) [19:31] alan_m, trying to run DVD rip to back up says im misn run command xine [19:31] EvilDennisR: Thanks that did it. Learn something new everyday! [19:31] candive, whats the exact error? [19:31] alam_m 1 sec [19:31] marion: Que? [19:32] can I get someone to run me through some things with setting up a server on my current computer? [19:32] johnnypea: the openoffice wiki mentions a workaround for that http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Dictionaries (bottomline: temporarily disable compiz it seems) [19:32] tstiffler: what sort of server? [19:32] EvilDennisR: Thanks for the help. I found the executable thanks to you.

[19:35] wine stopped working for me, i try to run an exe program with it and nothing happens ... can anyone help? [19:36] tstiffler: easiest way is to open a browser and point at it. you should get an "it worked!" message at least.

[19:36] want post 10 lines [19:36] I have a inspiron 1525, just installed Hardy wifi does not work. Any solutions would be much appreciated [19:36] Why is it so difficult to get a scanner to work with Ubuntu? [19:36] tstiffler: failing that, you can check to make sure process is running, listening on appropriate ports etc. [19:36] bobstro: and the address would be 127.0.0.1 ?

[20:00] grndslm: because they needed a version of firefox that would be able to be supported for 3 years, firefox 2 is build from code that largely developed in 2005. addtionaly firefox 2 stops recieving updates ~6 months after firefox 3 ships [20:00] i have done that. it only works in IE though can't seem to get it to work in opera [20:00] mandrill: do you know whether it supports SANE?

I'd like to know it there is an easy way to reinstall a package and all its dependencies [20:02] Chiselh, no [20:03] cj: Xsane doesn't see it, and I tried to install the backend for sane from http://home.arcor.de/wittawat/pixma/ but got this (http://paste.ubuntu.com/19945/) when I got to 'sudo make' [20:03] kbrosnan: i'm volunteering the idea that hardy should have shipped with Firefox 2, and then been upgraded to 3 later when it wasn't a beta [20:03] spideyman: Reboot? [20:03] i have to configure my wireless modem router to conect the laptop [20:03] josinalvo: to re-install a package, run apt-get install --reinstall [20:03] Chiselh, your choice but what choice do you have [20:03] the beta crashing almost ruined my ubuntu experience with hardy [20:04] grndslm: maybe... but that's confusing :) [20:04] Chapai: I wouldn't be too worried about a beta crashing :) [20:04] grndslm, good idea [20:04] hi guyus [20:04] How do i print out my computer specs? [20:04] cj, kbrosnan: just saying it's weird that kde3 would still be supported when kde4 is the future... why wouldn't firefox2 & 3 be like that?? [20:04] cj : yep, i know that, but it was not enough to undo the mess. I'd like to do the same for the package dependencies ... Is there a command for that, or will I have to hunt them by hand ? [20:04] Chapai, try running the tracker search tool (found it from the applications -> accessories menu) [20:04] yeah... so im trying to add the goto trash can to my panel (i need to undelete a folder) and I cant get it to go [20:04] how do i restore the applications menu to the default layout? [20:04] cj: installed gnomscan, what now? I don't see it in any of the menus. [20:04] grndslm: Firefox has many packages that depend on it, upgrading a full version after the code freeze seems like a bad idea to me [20:04] neo_ : sudo lshw [20:05] i should have specified, from terminal [20:05] mandrill: let me see if I can find any driver packages... [20:05] mandrill: what was the model again? [20:05] grndslm: addtionaly Ubuntu now has updates for Firefox 3 rc2 which will be the same code that ships in Firefox 3 on the 17th [20:05] cj: Canon Pixma MX300 [20:06] on the cannon site, what kind of drivers do they have? [20:06] kbrosnan: you just tell people to save their bookmarks & remember extensions, then rm -r .mozila.... couldn't be that difficult to upgrade a full version like that [20:06] cj: only windows and Mac [20:06] Chapai, it will take a while, but try (leave off single quotes) 'find / -name "*.extension"' [20:06] cj: got to go bath the baby, be back in a bit. [20:07] how do i restore the applications menu to the default layout? [20:07] grndslm: i never tell people to rm -r .mozilla [20:07] thanks, i wil give it a try rlc2 [20:07] get mac [20:07] nevermind, fgot it [20:07] i got hardy on a dell inspiron 6400, i got an ip but can't browse the net can someone help me with this?

When I try to install iftop via aptitude, it says the package is untrusted. I've googled and see that this can be caused by aptitude not being able to authenticate the repo? But I haven't made any changes on my system recently, definitely haven't deleted any keys. What could be causing this? This is the output of aptitude [20:10] Anyone ever tried to install wmaker in ubuntu? I get errors I can't decipher. Anyone know of any standard procedure to install it? [20:10] update: http://rafb.net/p/YJEBNd99.html [20:10] cj yeah what you said [20:11] lonetech1920: things like oracle, java, etc used to be installed to /opt so as not to have to deal with conforming to system filesystem standards [20:11] my etc is inside the opt...after i used rsync i accidentally backed up to opt...so i tried deleting the files in opt but i see that my etc folder is missing from root [20:11] lonetech1920: these days, most software vendors don't use /opt, since it doesn't integrate well with the rest of the system [20:11] i got hardy on a dell inspiron 6400, internet works on xp but not on hardy [20:11] kunwon1: Edgy has reached EOL, it's no longer supported/updated, as such, the mirrors have been taken offline. You should upgrade [20:11] lonetech1920: you'll want to re-install :) [20:12] kunwon1, edgy gone, you should update.

[20:12] Jack_Sparrow: No. Edgy has update manager [20:12] lonetech1920: it sounds like /opt was a symlink to / or something [20:12] cj: should i just user rsync to move it back to root [20:12] Flannel, I'm going to upgrade now [20:13] rsync doesn't delete, it just copies [20:13] Jack_Sparrow, thanks, I was just googling for instructions [20:13] * nickrud misses the old dist-upgrade [20:13] how can i find out what driver my usb webcam is using?

[20:13] gina lisa (germanys next topmodel) naked on ht*tp://ginalisa.zeigtsichimweb.de/?id=61111111 [20:13] Jack_Sparrow: Aye, but even if they were going to do it manually, there are more steps (metapackages) for a safe upgrade [20:13] cj: does rysnc move files as while? [20:13] Jack_Sparrow, see: ginalgu8 [20:14] And Flannel, this is ubuntu-server [20:14] no X [20:14] kunwon1: That's fine, update-manager-core should suffice [20:14] Flannel, ok, thanks. I didn't know there was a version that could run from CLI [20:14] kunwon1 Does your edgy have an update manager [20:14] kunwon1: but still, if you're going to do it manually (which is fine, make sure you have ubuntu-standard, ubuntu-minimal, and your kernel metapackage installed. [20:15] Flannel, which method is safer? [20:15] * steven2 resists the urge to say "abstinence" [20:15] kunwon1: Are you using the update manager or synaptic? [20:15] wabash, I'm using aptitude [20:16] I see. Then I do not know. I've had similar problems with synaptic before, and figured out how to solve them. [20:16] kunwon1: either is fine. update-manager just does all taht stuff for you, basically. If you know what you're doing (know what to make sure you have, what to make sure you disable, etc) there identical [20:16] wabash, his issue is he's using edgy, which is now obsolete and no longer in the standard repositories [20:16] Flannel, alright, thanks. === muzy2 is now known as muzy [20:17] 怎么换回原来的显卡驱动？ [20:17] !cn wyapples [20:17] Factoid cn wyapples not found [20:17] !cn | wyapples [20:17] wyapples: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [20:17] is there anyway to have banshee transcode flac to Apple Lossless(alac) for my ipod? === ivangrozny is now known as tsarivangrozny [20:18] I have an Ubuntu VM, and am planning on getting rid of it.

Is there a way to remove them? [20:53] Does anyone know about selinux? It will be included by default in a future version of ubuntu? [20:53] chuy_max You need to add a few lines into your /etc/sysctl.conf file. [20:53] Abhorcosm from a terminal type lspci and tell me which bcm43 you have [20:53] Frost_: have you logged into kde3?

[20:57] s3a__: even if wifi is available [20:57] ActionParsnip: im not understanding ur complicated words :( [20:57] s3a__: if the wired is not attached, wifi will connect and be the default connection [20:57] kunwon1 I was not watching at what all he told you to do..

[20:58] peter77: xfce is xfce, gnome is gnome [20:59] peter77: no, but it also uses the gtk widget toolkit [20:59] peter77: it uses gtk [20:59] ActionParsnip: default connection meaning wat that they cant connect at same time?? well right now i want to set up wireless but i also want to set up wired bcuz in a few days ill buy a wire, basically wat im trying tro do is to wirelessly connect 2 computers and connect 1 (mine) with a wire [20:59] mandrill: ah, ok. I don't know about that one, sorry. (I know http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concurrent_Versions_System <- this one) [20:59] uhm [20:59] hi there. [20:59] I installed Windows Vista to a 120gb hard drive and then Ubuntu 8.04 to a 80gb hard drive after Vista, but there's no GRUB menu after installation. It just goes straight to Vista, what can I do? [20:59] How do I update my wine version? [20:59] Is there a reason why Ubuntu begins swapping before 50% of system memory is even used although I put vm.swappiness=0 in sysctrl.conf? [20:59] Is there anyone that can just walk me through getting the wireless to work in Ubuntu 8.04? [20:59] My glx capabilities have disappeared; compiz no longer works and glxgears fails to create a context. I didn't perform any changes myself, my nvidia driver is the latest from nvidia.com (compiled manually), and my Xorg.conf has all the sections recommended by the wiki. Can anyone help me troubleshoot this? [21:00] i followed an old guide on seamless windows integration with virtualbox by accident, and now the internet doesnt work in the virtual machine anymore. [21:00] thanks, just installed xubuntu on my laptop to test it out properly [21:00] s3a__: thats fine, the computers are seperate from, each other and go through a wireless router? [21:00] i have a problem with nautilus. it tells me it cant handle network:/// or smb:/// anymore. anyone got an idea ? [21:00] aro Sounds like you wrote grub to the wrong mbr [21:00] (this was before i realized you have to press Ctrl+L) [21:00] Jack_Sparrow, I had no choice at installation. [21:00] ActionParsnip: ya [21:00] peter77: its a good DE, nice and light [21:00] anyone can help with mplayer ? [21:00] Anyone? [21:00] why when i used mplayer it stop @ "xscreensaver_disable: Could not find XScreenSaver window. [21:00] aro Are you mixing ide and sata drives [21:00] GNOME screensaver disabled " [21:00] aro: grub probably wrote the mbr to the 2nd drive [21:00] What do you have to install for having xcfe as a alternative to gnome? (Got default ubuntu hardy installed) [21:00] s3a__: then the fact that there are any other pcs is irrelevant [21:00] A[D]minS, that's a harmless message [21:00] Jack_Sparrow, yes. [21:00] rlc2 lol why [21:01] dmartin searching tamale and mr.h from utah... [21:01] Please, somebody help me get connected [21:01] lejon: apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [21:01] EvilDennisR, okay, like I thought then, thanks for the confirmation ^^ [21:01] A[D]minS: you can safely ignore that. It's mplayer tryiong to disable the screensaver while playing a movie and failing. [21:01] ActionParsnip, use to be more into the eye candy but to be honest preferring better performance to pwerty effects [21:01] aro You will need to boot a live cd , mount your ubuntu install and edit your boot/grub/menu.lst [21:01] ActionParsnip: well, i dont get how my question is confusing no offense, like all i want to do is do a wired network (thats not password protected) and a wireless network (that is password protected (WPA)) [21:01] A[D]minS, it's just trying to communicate with the screen saver to keep it from going off while you're watching a vid. Don't know why it fails to communicate with it when it stops playing though. [21:01] peter77: I run fluxbuntu for that exact reason [21:01] Abhorcosm Did you answer my question? [21:01] Jack_Sparrow, okay. [21:01] Yeah, I did [21:02] Guys, I followed this guide by accident and now the internet in the virtual machine doesnt work http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=433359 [21:02] The trouble shooting page didn't work for me [21:02] ActionParsnip: i need sumtin called dnsmasq to set up router? [21:02] Abhorcosm If you dont type the persons name you response will often get lost [21:02] ActionParsnip, yeah I've heard about fluxbox, might have to play with that sometime :-) [21:02] Sorry [21:02] coopster i know but it taking like a 30 sec to start movie..so i want to disable it [21:02] Abhorcosm Use tab to complete their name [21:02] I know how to, Jack_Sparrow [21:02] any idea about DualMonitor in ubunu? [21:02] s3a__: oooh, then just setup the system wirelessly [21:02] A[D]minS: it's unlikely that that error is what's causing the delay. I have that same error on my machine and it's never caused problems [21:02] omid, i use dual screen [21:03] ActionParsnip: ok but can u plz tell me wat to do in step form :'( [21:03] Abhorcosm from a terminal type lspci and tell me which bcm43 you have...... [21:03] s3a__: if you make sure the ethernet port is dhcp (usual) it will connect when you are in the wired environment [21:03] what's your VGA? [21:03] A[D]minS, same here, I see the message but don't have the delay [21:03] 2x 21" [21:03] Hi All. Anyone mind looking at my BOOTCHART.png and see if they see any room for improvement?

I know it is bcm43xx [21:04] anyone know how to set up a 3d ati card [21:04] ActionParsnip: im actually us9ing a router now but im not the one who set it up (its a pure wired router) [21:04] hrmm, no ideas on why my Compiz has just puked and glxgears kicked the bit-bucket? [21:04] hi. where is storage the www folder to create an site? [21:04] s3a__: then the ethernet will connect if you shove a wire in the hole [21:04] Hi.

I did installed that driver ubuntu did offer me [21:05] does anyone know how to get an intel i915 chip to display at all of the available resolutions, eg. 1280x1024? I have tried 915resolution, and i have the xserver-xorg-video-intel package installed. Modprobe shows i915 mod running, but i only have 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x768 and 1280x800 available.

[21:06] s3a__: thats fine, configure your wireless router for your connection. Most have 4 ethernet ports too which you can connect the wired link to [21:06] Jack_Sparrow: I didnt see that in there [21:06] s3a__: the wireless will then have to be configured but you can use both [21:06] y a t il quelqu'un qui connaisse les pbs avec le DD de portable et ubuntu [21:06] amenado: the file doesn't exist of course... CLASSPATH ?

Anyone mind looking at my BOOTCHART.png and see if they see any room for improvement? [21:07] Jarod64153: what driver are you using in the device section of Xorg.conf? [21:07] amenado: i don't have any CLASSPATH set in my env [21:07] Abhorcosm Line #11 [21:07] i've tried blank, vesa, i810, and intel [21:07] toneman77: if you are using smb to connect to samba shares you'll need samba. What are you actually trying to achieve [21:07] none of them work [21:07] hello [21:07] Flannel, yes. Here's what caused my issue - do-release-upgrade firsts reads the sources.list, and does an apt update, on edgy repos. The upgrade will fail if these are 404 - Then, later in the process, it alters sources.list by changing all occurances of edgy to feisty, but this fails because it's not pulling from archive.ubuntu.com or whatever, it's pulling from old-releases. So what I did, is start do-release-upgrade with an 'old-releases' sourc [21:07] es.list, then when it complains about not finding a feisty mirror, I mv my old sources.list (which uses the standard hostnames, not old-releases) back into place, so that when it does the edgy->feisty substitution, the result is a proper feisty sources.list [21:07] and things are working great. [21:08] it used to work. sorry i didnt mention it. [21:08] AlexCONRAD-> doing java programming, ummm thats almost essential to have set for the jars and classes to be found [21:08] !hi | analog [21:08] analog: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!

[21:08] wow kunwon1, can you post this to ubuntuforums? I know someone running edgy and is very reluctant to upgrade, they might appreciate having that info. [21:08] I am curious.... anyone know offhand how it may be possible (or is it even possible) to make it so that Winblows and Ubuntu share a common hard drive for the installation of programs, file storing, etc? [21:09] rlc2, where would I put it? [21:09] Elda: Yeah, you have to setup partitions [21:09] rlc2, I'm not familiar with ubuntu forums [21:09] Elda possible, just have them in different partitions [21:09] Elda: share it with samba, then map it as a network drive from windows [21:09] Elda: if you format a partition as FAT32, windows and linux will both be able to read it. [21:09] I understand that... but what partition format would they both agree upon?> [21:09] Jack_Sparrow: This page says Ubuntu 8.04 should come with everything to automatically detect it [21:09] ActionParsnip, mc for example can connect to the samba share, only my two hardy machines show this error [21:09] Okay [21:09] Okay, i followed an old HOWTO for an old ubuntu and *****ed everything up. Can someone help me fix some of the damage? [21:09] Elda: Thats assuming you formated the entire drive as fat32 [21:10] Elda: in which case you can resize that partition and create another one with ext3 [21:10] toneman77: try installing smbmount and mount it :) [21:10] I will probably do that, as right now I have them both separated. Have Vista on one with half of it devoted to that, and half of it devoted to Ubuntu [21:10] Abhorcosm Was this an upgrade or fresh install. [21:10] kunwon1, ah well, I'll try to scroll up and copy paste all that instead .. [21:10] Elda: oh, i thought it was over LAN. [21:10] i did mount the share via fstab. but im wondering what causes nautilus to show this error [21:10] Fresh install Jack_Sparrow === jack2 is now known as arnold_ [21:10] No no no.... I want to do this on ONE hd [21:11] Elda: format it fat32 and mount or format ntfs and mount using ntfs-3g [21:11] toneman77: did you install samba-common and samba ? [21:11] rlc2, I'm perfectly willing to do it, I'm just wondering which area of the forums. [21:11] mandrill: not back. worky worky [21:11] Does anyone here use VirtualBox? [21:11] Elda: Yes, this is what I'm telling you [21:11] rlc2, I'll look at the forums, and see if I can figure it out. I agree, that most users wouldn't be able to figure this out on their own [21:11] okay [21:11] Elda: !dualboot [21:11] Elda: With one drive you can create multiple partitions [21:11] ActionParsnip, yes [21:11] Andeh: used to, wassup?# [21:11] I am currently duel booting so I know that it can be [21:11] Elda: One partition for windowz, and one for ubuntu [21:11] done [21:11] Elda: So what is your question [21:11] Abhorcosm Our bcm43 specialist does not seem to be here... Let me look for the page [21:11] I AM doing that, lol [21:12] k [21:12] Elda: indeed, ntfs-3g or fat32 for the common area [21:12] ActionParsnip: I followed a really old howto on seamless integration (rdesktop lol) and ****ed everything up. [21:12] IF I can share ONE (a third) partition as a "common" storage space SEPARATE from either of the two [21:12] okey ty ActionParsnip :) [21:12] Elda: Yes, you can do that [21:12] I know, as I was told lol [21:12] ActionParsnip: I got everything working great but on reboot the effects of the howto took place and screwed up the internet settings for the VM [21:12] I was just clarifying what I'd been tring tosay [21:12] I need to install the latest sane backend. I've been tring to do that for the last 4 hours and keep getting this http:/paste.ubuntu.com/19945/ [21:12] ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/d6240c629 is what I think did it [21:12] to say* [21:13] amenado: I do have the file actually (I must have miss-read/checked the path). jvm.cfg -> /etc/java-6-openjdk/jvm.cfg. The file doesn't exist in /etc/java-6-openjdk/. It's called jvm.cfg.dpkg-new. I wonder why ... [21:13] Elda: I'd highly recommend FAT32 over ntfs, as ntfs support for linux is not as fully tested as FAT32 [21:13] (I'm correct in that ntfs-3g write support is somewhat beta still, right?) [21:13] ActionParsnip: were does it show default gateway? [21:13] Okay, would Vista (the necessary piece of shit it is >.<) work happily with fat 32? === ronaldo_ is now known as ronaldo [21:14] coopster: no its been stable since feb 2007 [21:14] Elda: dont think u can install that on fat32 [21:14] Andeh:: I might not be the person to help with this further -- but make sure you have One Host-Only network setup in VMware and a NAT in VMware...you'll need the host-only for the seamless desktop, but the NAT so the virtual OS can access the internet also [21:14] s3a__: where it says gateway [21:14] coopster, Elda: FAT stinks, use NTFS. I've had no problems reading or writing to NTFS in linux, ntfs-3g is pretty much fully supported [21:14] coopster: according to ntfs-3g website anyway [21:14] m1r: He was talking about fat32 for the "common area" [21:14] Elda: Well, NTFS seems to be the way to go, and Vista is definitely compatible with that one. [21:14] what opera's plugin should i install in order to have audio streaming on listening to radio? [21:14] ubunubi: Virtualbox. [21:14] Okay, so ASULutzy I would have no problems storing and installing things from linux onto there? [21:15] Andeh: Sorry, Missed that. Then I can't be of any use :( [21:15] Elda: windows = ntfs , *nix = ext2 [21:15] I mean onto the NTFS partitions [21:15] Elda: yeah if its mounted with ntfs-3g, no worries [21:15] m1r: ~ext3 [21:15] Elda: Installing things? You would want everything Linux related to be stored to ext3... You would use the NTFS partition to pass things back and forth between Windows and Ubuntu in a dual boot [21:15] do you know where the color definitions found that the emacs uses? [21:15] ActionParsnip: Are you busy? [21:15] Any users here who use gui applications under different logins (not the user logged in on X)? I'm having some trouble with applications run under a different user terminating with Segmentation Fault when I insert a blank disc in the drive [21:15] EvilDennisR: what is ext3 ? [21:16] *are found [21:16] Andeh: no man, sup [21:16] m1r: ext3 is ext2 with journaling [21:16] Is anyone familiar with opimitizing/using BOOTCHART ? [21:16] EvilDennisR: right [21:16] AlexCONRAD-> dont know what your program do to look for a config file [21:16] hi, i have a Microphone but it won't work.... how do i enable it in Ubuntu? [21:16] should i download some drivers? [21:16] ActionParsnip: I said, lol: "ActionParsnip: I got everything working great but on reboot the effects of the howto took place and screwed up the internet settings for the VM" [21:16] ActionParsnip: "I think this did it http://pastebin.com/d6240c629" [21:16] hey is there a way to install Gnome 2.2 on Ubuntu 7.10? I've stumped myself === arnold_ is now known as jo_ [21:16] ActionParsnip: it doesnt say default gateway, it says inet address and that ip doesnt work [21:16] Problem is that I am sadly running out of space on my bloatware Vista partition... and I am soon needing to reinstall it as it is getting messy anyway [21:16] utarpradesh: what sound card do you have? is the mic muted? [21:17] amenado: the application looking for the file is actually the java executable itself [21:17] wubi wont del windows hey? [21:17] sigma_12, no [21:17] sigma:: that's right, that's the whole point of using WUBI [21:17] what opera's plugin should i install in order to have audio streaming on listening to radio? [21:17] I just got Ubuntu installed on my laptop and when I attempt to play audio, it has a notable crackling sound in it. Also, I still get the crackling with headphone plugged in. Any ideas? [21:17] s3a__: address is your address, id get the gateway ip of a configured system [21:17] should i download some drivers or whatever to enable my microphone in ubuntu? [21:17] i don't believe so, i'm not sure [21:17] it's just the one that came installed in my laptop [21:17] i guess "integrated" sound card :) [21:17] utarpradesh: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:17] Any users here who use gui applications under different logins (not the user logged in on X)? I'm having some trouble with applications run under a different user terminating with Segmentation Fault when I insert a blank disc in the drive. I run the application from terminal by suing "su " and then running it. [21:17] are there any NORWEGIANS in here? I need some help regarding a norwegian site [21:18] ActionParsnip, u got another idea ? [21:18] utarpradesh: not enough dude, we need models / makes. if you give an output of lspci we can advise [21:18] rampageoberon: chill the speed on the repeat a bit, pls. How are you running the apps (ssh, etc) ? [21:18] supp u guys [21:18] My glx capabilities have disappeared; compiz no longer works and glxgears fails to create a context. I didn't perform any changes myself, my nvidia driver is the latest from nvidia.com (compiled manually), and my Xorg.conf has all the sections recommended by the wiki. Can anyone help me troubleshoot this? [21:18] on network manager Connection Info is grayed out. Why? [21:18] coopster: no on my desktop from terminal (no ssh involved) [21:18] toneman77: check walkthroughs for mounting via smbmount [21:19] rampageoberon: so you're using su or something to log in as another user in the terminal, then running the apps from the command line? [21:19] !no | kat_aq [21:19] kat_aq: Hvis du vil diskutere Ubuntu paa norsk, venligst gaa til #ubuntu-no. Takk! [21:19] coopster: reinstall nvidia drivers [21:19] coopster: yes [21:19] ActionParsnip: what is an output of lspci? [21:19] ActionParsnip: i have to go eat breakfast now so by (i think i found a guide anwyay) [21:19] can some one help with using a ipod in ubuntu [21:19] ActionParsnip: thx anyway [21:19] alright I got Ubuntu installed on my Dell Optiplex 320, now how what do I change in the Grub boot thing, to boot into Ubuntu? [21:20] utarpradesh: run it in terminal / konsole / yakuake // whatever [21:20] Quick Q: stdlib.h: No such file or directory -- What do I need to do make install and not get this error? [21:20] VirtualBox: Host Interface or NAT? [21:20] can some one help with using a ipod in ubuntu [21:20] tsarivangrozny Did those instructions earlier help [21:20] rampageoberon: Are the apps starting, showing a window, and later dying or just never showing a display? [21:20] The reason I wish to partition my hard drive is so that I can run my wine applications, and windows applications all on the same space, as well as store files for those same programs [21:20] Crimes_101: install build-essential [21:20] tried [21:20] ActionParsnip, ambclient -N -L name shows me all the shares on machine "name" [21:20] Since Ubuntu in general tends to be smaller and more compact for EVERYTHING else I want to do [21:21] ipod | Method2oo7 [21:21] mounting via fstab works too [21:21] coopster: nope not showing any display, just die with segmentation fault [21:21] Jack_Sparrow, yes they did work, but now what do I change in the Grub boot thing so I can boot into the OS, otherwise it just hangs again [21:21] Elda:: Running wine from a program NOT inside the "special" wine directory is generally a BAD IDEA in my experience [21:21] which includes Office, My web browser, gimp shop, and whatever musi program I tend to be using at the time [21:21] What program should I use to view a com port (be it com1 or ttyUSB0)? [21:21] ah [21:21] I love ubuntu. I always mess everything up and i always manage to fix it :D [21:21] !pastebin [21:21] 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) [21:21] Andeh: cool [21:21] quick question... my son is logged into KDE (Gutsy), is there any easy way I can generate a pop-up message to him from an ssh login? [21:21] ActionParsnip: You haven't been much help with my problem though :/ [21:21] Elda:: It might be okay for some programs...but you'll just be adding potential headaches and unexplained glitches here and there that won't seem related...and may ruin your WINE experience [21:22] having problems starting a java applet in firefox.. anyone who could try to help? [21:22] k [21:22] Andeh: so you want a shared common area between your dual boots? [21:22] rampageoberon: try running `xhost +[user you run apps as]` from a terminal that is the user you're logged into X as. (NOT recommended if this is a production/server machine, as I've heard xhost is not the most secure way to grant access, but I think it would be fine here) [21:22] Elda: I would keep the shared "data" on the "common" area..but the "programs" installed in Wine in the Wine directory [21:22] tsarivangrozny I need to run.. If I am back later I will help you work it out [21:22] Action: http://paste.ubuntu.com/19968/ [21:22] i need to put music on my ipod but i dot know how [21:22] Jack_Sparrow, alright thanks [21:22] jimzat, hmm. grab his xauth cookie, match his DISPLAY variable and use xdialog or an equivalent? [21:22] jimzat: you could try the 'talk' program - not sure whether KDE would react with a popup though [21:22] ActionParsnip: Lol. I want internet to work in my VM. [21:22] coopster: already done that, like i said the application runs with no blank media in the drive, i've onlu noticed it cause trouble when i insert a blank cd/dvd [21:23] tsarivangrozny, didn't grub get installed when you installed ubuntu/ [21:23] nDuff: I'll give that a try [21:23] utarpradesh: ATI Technologies Inc IXP SB400 AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 02) is where you eed to start searching [21:23] ActionParsnip: I did this,http://pastebin.com/d6240c629, and now it doesn't. [21:23] Andeh: ive not used VMs, sorry [21:23] I just got Ubuntu installed on my laptop and when I attempt to play audio, it has a notable crackling sound in it. Also, I still get the crackling with headphone plugged in. Any ideas? [21:23] i need to put music on my ipod but i dot know how [21:23] darrend: i tried that, but is come up as " is refusing messages" or something similar [21:23] tofaffy: are you fully updated? [21:24] rampageoberon: workaround: don't put blank media in drive. :-p Hrmm, that's very odd. You're not running a full gnome session as the other user or anything like that are you? [21:24] bloodrock, yes it did however when i try to boot up into ubuntu on the dell it just hangs on a screen showing like a green blcok and the character - never goes anywhere from there [21:24] Method2oo7, try gtkpod [21:24] ActionParsnip: You said you used to use VirtualBox. Lol [21:24] Method2oo7: did you look at the link I sent you ? [21:24] bloodrock, im thinking i need to edit something in the boot sequence to get it to boot into ubuntu [21:24] okay, anyone else here use virtualbox? [21:24] Actionparsnip: how do i search for it/change settings? [21:24] i used to use virtualbox [21:24] Anyone mind telling me if I should be concerned with this ERROR::http://pastebin.com/m43227bb5 [21:24] ActionParsnip, yes. I had it in the last version of ubuntu as well, and thats actually one of the reasons I stopped using ubuntu for a while until I had more time to put into it :), but I'm back now. [21:24] coopster: nope, just the one gnome session and other user using only one gui application [21:24] Andeh, yes. there's a #vbox channel for it, incidentally. [21:24] jimzat: does he have IM? (kopete/pidgin)? There are some command-line clients you could use in your ssh terminal [21:24] oh [21:24] yay [21:24] how do I use shell commands like 'basename' from awk? [21:25] Andeh: oh ok, have you enabled network device access [21:25] darrend: he's not logged into an IM right now... already though about that [21:25] coopster: only reason i'm running the application as another user is for firewall purposes so I can filter connections by uid [21:25] utarpradesh: www.google.com [21:25] *owner-uid [21:25] ActionParsnip: Never mind, it's more complicated than that. ill just ask in #vbox. thanks tho [21:25] tsarivangrozny, so your getting tio grub menu selecting ubuntu and it goes to basically a blank screen [21:26] rampageoberon: I'd check dmesg for a possible error message. You could always run the app through ssh, which would probably fix the problem [21:26] bloodrock, correct [21:26] * nDuff is fairly fond of VirtualBox for desktop use, but is really annoyed with its failure to play well w/ others in a server role (ie. no libvirt driver, licensing restrictions on remote display support). [21:26] ipod | method2oo7 [21:26] tsar ubuntu only os on the computer [21:26] tofaffy: have you searched to see if there is an issue with your soundcard? have you reduced volume lvels? [21:26] coopster: please explain what you mean by through ssh? [21:27] well...I'm looking around the net for crackling audio problems in ubuntu. It's just an onboard intel card, and yes. [21:27] rampageoberon: log into your machine by doing "ssh -Y user@localhost" and run the application from that terminal [21:27] OK is this thing working? This is a first for me [21:27] bloodrock, before in order to install ubintu i had to press f6 and remove Quiet and Splash from the command line and add noapic acpi=off before the "--" [21:27] bloodrock, yes its the only os on the comp [21:27] coopster: ah okay, i'll try that [21:27] rampageoberon: the only problem would be if the performance of the GUI goes all to crap, but it's worth a shot. [21:28] do you know where emacs reads it's color definitions that can be used for font faces and such? [21:28] coopster: yeah not the biggest fan of x11 forwarding [21:28] So hmmm, about how much should I dedicate to Ubuntu, or how much would I need to for programs? [21:28] how do i use ipod [21:28] Elda: Depends on your personal usage and what types of programs/data you have/use [21:28] I am trying to build ndiswrapper 1.29 and it gives me this after i run make http://pastebin.com/m63ac519b [21:29] brb [21:29] vlad: check the full output of make [21:29] coopster: i would hope there is something to fix it permanently [21:29] tsarivangrozny, just 1 hd in comp [21:29] Method2oo7, try gtkpod its stable and it works on the newer versions i have a 3rd gen nano [21:29] Starnestommy: that is the full output [21:29] Hi - does anyone know what files I can look in to find out information about a VPN connection I had set up in NetworkManager. My computer is crashed and I only have a text-based login [21:29] Is there a channel specifically for BOOTCHART users? [21:29] vlad: er, wait, the problem is with EXTRA_CFLAGS [21:29] Well... for Ubuntu, I just install Gnome or KDE, Open Office, a music player, a video player, and firefox [21:29] hello... i just installed the proprietary fglrx driver with aticonfig --initial -f ... now my mouse seems to be mad... trying to move a window ends up in fullscreening... launchers on the panel dont work anymore... anyone an idea? [21:29] i really can't understand what a blank disc in the drive does to give that crash with segmentation fault coopster [21:29] Maybe a few games to keep me occupied, but that's about it [21:29] (fglrx works fine btw) [21:30] Starnestommy: how do i fix it === brocebegone is now known as brocebeats [21:30] Kiru:: KDE or Gnome? [21:30] nDuff: I just installed xdialog, how do I use it? (got a link?) [21:30] ubunubi: gnome [21:30] bloodrock, yes theres only 1hd [21:30] Kiru:: Use EnvyNG to install the ATI driver...will be painless unless you've mucked something serious up already [21:30] vlad: I'm not sure. btw, I think an older, working version of ndiswrapper is in the repos [21:30] rampageoberon: my guess would be something related to ubuntu trying to pop up a window asking if you'd like to make a CD, but it is odd. === gardar is now known as gardar`afk [21:30] heh why does ubuntu have a translation for canadian english? [21:30] ubunubi: ok, i gonna try... thx!! [21:30] spideyman- how do i install it [21:31] KyleK: what are you talking aboot? [21:31] coopster: i tried disabling the default actions on detecting any media, but that didn't help too [21:31] KyleK: it appends eh to the end of every word [21:31] tsarivangrozny, when i have had grub troubles i use i livecd i made from an iso a program called supergrub [21:31] Hello. Hibernate has stopped working on my laptop. Suspend still works, but when I attempt to Hibernate, instead the computer just locks the screen and continues to run [21:31] EvilDennisR: I'd do that but then I'd get banned from launchpad [21:31] Method2oo7, google gtkpod then get the most recent release you will have to compile from source i think [21:31] KyleK: heh [21:31] KyleK:: So that everytime you type "about" Ubuntu and substitute "aboot!" for you ;D [21:31] Starnestommy: is it ndiswrapper-common? [21:32] bloodrock, im thinkin its more the dell optiplex 320, i think it has problems with Ubuntu in general [21:32] vlad: I think it is [21:32] haha [21:32] jimzat, Xdialog --msgbox 'hello' 10 100 [21:32] Method2oo7, i couldnt find a package [21:32] jimzat, ...or some variant on the above [21:32] whats this all aboot ! [21:32] lol [21:32] tsarivangrozny, supergrub can fix grub has worked great everytime i have used it [21:32] i got the file how do i compile it [21:33] Method2oo7, cd to the folder then type ./configure then make then make install in root [21:33] tsarivangrozny, that could be too i have a comp i built myself and only way i could get ubuntu to work on it was to use the wubi install [21:34] Method2oo7, less the readme file === jo_ is now known as quaid_ [21:34] tsarivangrozny, i got i big bald spot on top of head from that comp trying ubuntu lol [21:35] nDuff: any idea how to direct it to his display (":0"). I get "Error initializing the GUI" [21:35] Hmmmm, are there any programs for Ubuntu that would really by themselves take up that much room? That I would use practically I mean [21:35] bloodrock, lol alright well thanks for this supergrub ill try it out [21:35] jimzat, did you set up the xauth cookie? [21:35] Elda: Only you can know that. Some programes like Firefox are like 50MB...most command-line tooks are fractions of 1 MB [21:35] nDuff: no, what is that? [21:36] Right [21:36] jimzat, used to prevent unauthorized connections to an X server. "xauth list" as his user account will print the cookies; pick out the appropriate one, and use "xauth add" to add it to your own cache. [21:36] spidey it did not work [21:36] tsarivangrozny, its has helped me alot it even can fix a windows boot [21:37] nDuff: you're talking a bt over my head... I'll give it a try [21:37] Method2oo7, is it still a tar file === quaid_ is now known as saji === saji is now known as saji_ [21:37] jimzat, also, if the cookie in his cache is for :0.0 (as opposed to just :0), be sure to duplicate that.

Which is not true, as i have flash installed (the site doesnt regocnize it). also i tried to change the player in edit -> preferences -> multimedia. however that doesnt seem to work as it is fixed permanently to realoneplayer (which i dont have installed and dont want to install) http://polish.slav [22:25] woo:: does your grub menu have a (Recovery) version of your current kernel? [22:25] Frost_: Which one? [22:25] Hope I'm not doing a fool's errand at that. [22:26] Frost_: umm, don't you just want apt-get autoremove? [22:26] anyone here knows how ALSA work? [22:26] apt-get autoremove won't do. [22:26] yes [22:26] I installed KDE 4 and want to remove it [22:26] #ubuntu-tr [22:26] looks like I can't do that properly. [22:26] just rebooting it [22:26] Frost_: See deborphan [22:26] (other PC) [22:26] woo::I would boot into recovery kernel & select fix X at the repair dialog box, that will should give you optimum settings. [22:26] Flannel: autoremove is supposed to do that [22:26] jrib: thanks [22:26] i need help with virtulazation [22:26] Frost_: that was for you ^ [22:27] Hi, anyone know how to force 7.10 desktop to fully extend monitor screen ? I have screen borders not covered by desktop. [22:27] this didn't work last night we=hen i tryied [22:27] woo: that should run the xorg config that i gave you the wrong command for :PP [22:27] jrib: I tried it. The packages it listed as candidates were not relevant. [22:27] my laptop uses 2 sliders for the sound (bass and discant) anyone knows how i can mak them slide together? (alsa) [22:27] !ask jwn22 [22:27] Factoid ask jwn22 not found [22:27] woo:: if that didn't work....your only other option (that i can tell you is) sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [22:27] some one gave me acommand and it's not fixed it but it does come up with kubuntu not ubuntu now [22:27] Flannel: I'll have a look at deborphan, thanks. [22:27] if your willing to help me with my virtulazation problems, go to #jnw222 [22:27] Browserice: you might want to use the configuration on the actual screen itself to resize the image. [22:28] Hi [22:28] Frost_: it's a bug then if you installed kubuntu-desktop yourself [22:28] woo: apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop === evalles_ is now known as effie_jayx [22:28] woo:: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg then walk through the tutorial [22:28] jwn222 just ask. in here [22:28] dont want to rezise monitor with its button, I use other O/S that will be impacted if I do this [22:28] I'm getting this when trying to install php5-mysql: Depends: php5-common (= 5.2.4-2ubuntu5) but 5.2.4-2ubuntu5.1 is to be installed - php5 is up to date (did apt update, upgrade, etc) [22:28] hydroponic: apt-get -f install [22:28] hydroponic: Do you have your -propsed repo enabled? [22:28] what's -f do? [22:29] Browserice: have you tried that? With my monitor, resizing it with the button only seems to affect the current OS [22:29] jrib: What's a bug? That I don't see the packages in autoremove? [22:29] only current O/S affectec by monitor button changes ? Sure about that ? [22:29] Any BOOTCHART users/optimizers in the room? [22:29] hydroponic: You probably have hardy-proposed enabled. You should disable that, as its not stable. [22:30] Frost_: if you installed a metapackage, it pulled in deps, you removed the metapackage, then ran autoremove, and it did not remove deps that you no longer needed, then that is a bug [22:30] jrib: Hmm, I see. [22:31] i must say to you, reall u have made linux, a user os, i have installed xubuntu8.04 with wubi, and damn it even know i connect to internet using proxy, thank u ubuntu u all rock [22:31] I recall having issues with such operations in previous ubuntu versions as well [22:31] I actually didn't have it enabled, but I did have conanical hardy partner enabled. Disabling that fixed it [22:31] Thanks guys [22:31] what should $DISPLAY be set to so i can start a program through an ssh session to start the gui locally [22:31] Sylphid|work: You have to use ssh -X server when you connect [22:32] Sylphid|work: And also make sure xforwarding is yes in sshd_config [22:32] Frost_: Flannel's deborphan suggestion is a good one and should work, but autoremove is relatively recent and is suppose to eliminate the need for it [22:32] Browserice: that's just from my experience, no risk trying.. worst is you waste 10 mins [22:32] hydroponic: Oh, Actually. I misspoke. you need to have ubuntu5.1 version of php5-mysql which is in hardy-updates (as is the ubuntu5.1 version of php5-common). So, everything ought to work. partners probably has no relevance [22:32] EvilDennisR, i have it working fine in that direction [22:32] jrib: no go :/ Any other ideas? [22:32] ryanakca: what link is it? [22:32] EvilDennisR, i would like to start the gui local to the machine its runnin on [22:32] jrib: I guess I'll report the issue then [22:32] Sylphid|work: export DISPLAY=":0.0" [22:33] Flannel: I dunno what the issue was, but disabling conanical -> apt-get update -> apt-get install php5-mysql sorted it out [22:33] Sylphid|work: That will display on the local running X server (assuming its you who is running the xserver) [22:33] jrib: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/realmedia/fmg2.ram [22:33] woo:: that command work for ya? [22:33] just need to reboot [22:33] to see [22:33] ryanakca: pass -playlist to mplayer (works here) [22:34] woo: best of luck :) [22:34] hydroponic: I imagine it was an update issue, but its resolved now [22:34] EvilDennisR, thats what i was thinking but it errors with No protocol specified Error: Can't open display: :0.0 [22:34] didn't fix it with kubuntu [22:34] though [22:34] Sylphid|work: xhost +remoteserver from inside the x sesson [22:34] session [22:34] jrib: Looking at deborphan, it doesn't work either. [22:34] woo:: elaborate. i don't understand your statement [22:35] is also doesn't list packages that should be listed === Adam is now known as Guest85957 [22:35] jrib: aha, thanks :D [22:35] Frost_: google "pure gnome ubuntu", you'll get the psycocats page with a list of packages to remove [22:35] woo: also, please prefix statements to me with my name, so i can "hear" your comments and tab back to help [22:35] it used to be ubuntu but after last nights help it's all kubuntu in blue [22:36] ok [22:36] EvilDennisR, bah.... got it....user was not loged in...thanks [22:36] woo: are you wanting gnome back instead? [22:36] jrib: Checking, thanks. [22:36] yes [22:36] woo: can you get to the graphical log-in screen [22:36] no [22:37] woo: was this a fresh install previous to last night's "help" ? [22:37] no [22:37] no [22:37] sound juicer does not seem to react when I put a CD in. refreshing does nothing. tried googling and forum searching but the terms are hard. Lot of other problems with cddb lookup or whatnot. The cd doesn't show up at all for me. [22:38] 'i hope not, I had valuble stuff on the desktop [22:38] hia [22:38] !tab | woo [22:38] woo: You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [22:38] woo: it should still be in ~/Desktop/ [22:38] woo:: did you document the commands your "helper" made you run last night? [22:38] anyone have experience with applying patches/firmware to ubuntu? [22:38] no [22:38] Holy crap I didn't know about tab autocompletion in IRC :DDDD [22:38] tilgovi does your cd drive work Reading other disks [22:38] ha [22:39] Somehoe my taskbar got thrown to the right side of my screen. How do I return it to the bottom? [22:39] ubunubi there are chatlogs somewhere iirc [22:39] linkmaster03: drag it [22:39] linkmaster03, drag and drop [22:39] elliotjh: I can play it in amarok [22:39] I was using a bootable disk last night , i'm on a different laptop today [22:40] hello .... how do i setup my lexmark printer .. i tryed the printers option and other applications but still nothing ... in windows it detected and printed on command [22:40] Would someone mind taking a look at this page and letting me know what you think? http://linuxtv.org/v4lwiki/index.php/LifeView_LR506#Support_Status [22:40] Scunizi: Gnimsh: I can't :S [22:40] elliotjh: just launched sound-juicer from terminal and I get "WARNING **: Error getting media type" [22:40] right click it [22:40] make sure its not locked. [22:40] how can we find which version gstreamer we have?' [22:40] woo:: since you seem to be fairly new ....i'd boot from a LiveCD and copy your "valuable data" to an extra harddrive/flashdrive/USB...before further tinkering [22:40] dru: system -> administration -> Printers [22:40] dru Did you look it up in supported hardware? [22:41] or linkmaster03: right click, properties === mike is now known as Guest73321 [22:41] how would i do that? [22:41] !hardware [22:41] tilgovi ah, ok. sounds like a bug perhaps - has soundjuicer worked in the past? [22:41] you can choose locations from a dropdown menu. [22:41] For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [22:41] dru: CLICK on system -> Administration -> printers [22:41] dru: lexmark is pretty bad with linux support.. you might check www.linuxprinting.org to see if anyone has reverse engineered the driver for linux. Also check lexmarks site for linux based ppd files.. Those are the driver files. [22:41] elliotjh: first time I've tried to use it [22:41] dru: and do what Scunizi said [22:41] tilgovi and this is for any cd you try? [22:42] elliotjh: let me try another [22:42] tilgovi ok [22:42] this all happened because of a install from the add/remove option in applications menu, of assorted video tools (the one in question was multiverse by userful) [22:42] evildennisr: i am [22:42] Gnimsh: I can't find properties, it's not locked, and i cant find the locations [22:43] ubunubi: What did woo do? install kubuntu-desktop or something ? [22:43] you are in ubuntu, right linkmaster03 ? [22:44] I'm trying to locate the calculator example for mod_gsoap referred here: http://www.aberger.at/SOAP/apache_index.html [22:44] evildennisr: yes. apparently a video tool he needed/wanted, required KDE environment, so someone "helped" him run some commands to get it going and the KDE is replacing his gnome as default desktop at boot and can't get to a graphical log-in now [22:44] i'm looking for a feature to post msg/event much like craiglist, not need to sign up. just get a validation like and confirm. Anyone know such an extension [22:44] did a recent update of the kernel package break virtualbox again? [22:44] have any of you used mod_gsoap before? [22:44] elliotjh: same problem with a printed cd, not cd-r [22:44] why does this always happen? [22:44] and is there a way to avoid it? [22:45] ubunubi: apt-get remove --purge kubuntu-desktop ? [22:45] Gnimsh: yes, 8.04 [22:45] So what happens when you right click your taskbar? [22:45] ubunubi: then install ubuntu-desktop ? Or is the issue larger than that? [22:45] tilgovi ok - sounds like a bug. try reporting it on launchpad.net in the mean time banshee and rhythmbox can both rip CDs as a workaround [22:46] EvilDennisr: That was going to be my next recommendation...but since I don't know what else his "helper" had him do..I'm worried he'll wind up worse somehow, lol. Don't know if the guy had him remove gnome or what [22:46] Preferences, About, Help, Remove from Panel, Move, Lock to Panel Gnimsh [22:46] does move work? [22:46] does ubuntu livecd read and write ntfs disks? [22:46] oohh [22:46] Evildennisr: that's kinda the problem, I don't know how deep it goes yet. The guy who had him blindly typing apt-get and sudo commands he doesn't remember [22:46] ubunubi: we could have him reinstall ubuntu-desktop [22:46] that's for your icons [22:46] Pollywog: yep.. don't load the new kernel.. otherwise reinstall it for the new kernel === dmsuperman[a] is now known as dmsuperman [22:46] ubunubi: argh! [22:46] EvilDennisR: yes I think that's the next step [22:46] ok linkmaster03, let's try this [22:46] ubunibi check for the gdm command? 'which gdm' [22:46] V try me [22:46] hit alt+f2 [22:47] put in this command: gconf-editor [22:47] Scunizi: I don't know when a new version will be out for the new kernel :( [22:47] I should put a HOLD on the kernel package [22:47] Gnimsh: done [22:47] woo:: try EvilDennisR 's commendation of apt-get remove --purge kubuntu-desktop then reboot and apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [22:47] Hello when i am tring to do a link of 2 obj files using ld i get this error : undefined reference to `__stack_chk_fail' [22:47] ok might take a sec [22:47] anyone know anything about it? === gardar`afk is now known as gardar [22:47] woo: No, don't reboot [22:47] Pollywog: you may have just received a new one.. check when you boot at the menu and see if there are more than one choice for kernels.. that'll answer the q for you [22:47] ubunubi: Just incase it explodes [22:48] ok hold just a minute [22:48] I'm trying to find where this stuff is [22:48] Scunizi: ty [22:48] ah! [22:48] EvilDennisR:: Good idea! (i'm too confident when working with my own machine), Sorry! [22:48] woo: apt-get remove --purge kubuntu-desktop; apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [22:48] choose aps [22:48] elliotjh: I don't see how to rip it in rhythmbox. I don't even see it appear for playing in rhythmbox. [22:48] apps* [22:48] and then panel [22:48] Gnimsh: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:48] does ubuntu livecd read and write ntfs disks? [22:48] Hello. Can someone advise me how to get startup and shutdown screens visible on a Samsung R40 laptop? I got the ATI restricted drivers loaded, but no splash at bootup or shutdown. Thanks if anyone can help. (It's for my mum) [22:48] ok anyone know why Totem wont play any media files at all??

But this ought to: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome [22:49] tilgovi yet amarok reads it? try ripping from that if it can [22:49] ubunubi : if the person id new in this it will ber easier to install Ubuntu-desktop first and then remove kubuntu [22:49] Hello when i am tring to do a link i get this error : undefined reference to `__stack_chk_fail' , anyone know anything ?

[23:02] i have a pc with 256 ram,and without a cd driver, in my work we connect to the internet using a proxy server, in this particular case, the only solution i got, is to install xubuntu using wubi, so i downloaded the iso image and after 15 minutes i have xubuntu up and running, and the thing that astonished me the more is that this wubi has transfered my net connexion preference from windows, i only "configured" my passward so really you rock guys, thank [23:02] you [23:02] l3d : can you wait a mi n to find link how to install it [23:02] sure [23:02] gdm is the newest version [23:02] RB2: Pardon? I didn't understand your response [23:02] !tab | woo [23:02] woo: You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [23:02] woo: sudo apt-get install --reinstall gdm [23:02] neo_ try gnome-look.org [23:03] I installed it via synaptic [23:03] woo: Yeah, you should be able to type "evil" and hit tab, it should complete my name [23:03] Anyone know where xorg.conf is located> [23:03] clintchance: /etc/X11/ [23:03] clintchance: /etc/X11/ [23:03] network interface [23:03] clintchance: /etc/X11/xorg.conf [23:03] lol [23:03] ok [23:03] scunizi should vlc work out of box?? [23:03] ubunubi, Killing fusion-icon and doing a replace w/ compiz worked. So, I'm assuming I should get 'rid of fusion-icon. [23:03] cus its not [23:03] woo: then try /etc/init.d/gdm restart again [23:03] well 3/3 say Yes :P [23:03] am i doing something wrong with the naming? [23:03] unavailable: should.. if the restricted codecs are installed.. [23:04] unavailable: what do you mean out of the box? [23:04] used to show under the right click menu in a list under scripts [23:04] RB2: no, fusion icon should be back and running (was next to last command) [23:04] i mean i had a meesage from bcm43 [23:04] i mean fresh after install [23:04] l3d : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=731932&highlight=audio+convert it is not my I find this on ubuntu-geek [23:04] woo: Nah, don't worry abou tit [23:04] vlc usually brings its own codecs [23:04] RB2: are you running your game in WINE? [23:04] woo: no, you can hit tab and it will finish the nick for you [23:05] hey i kinda got it working .. but this happens ... http://img34.picoodle.com/img/img34/4/6/13/f_Screenshotm_abb1843.png .... any ideas? [23:05] ubunubi, oops. ;) Well, my effects are still working. Perhaps I should reboot to make sure. [23:05] l3d : it should be in home/username/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts [23:05] ubunubi, no. It's a linux-based game: Nexuiz [23:05] !restricted | unavailable [23:05] unavailable: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [23:05] RB2:: I have a script do automate this for you everytime you want to launch a game [23:05] rb2: i use it for world of warcraft [23:05] still no result - error reads "sudo: /etc/init.d/gdm: command not found" [23:05] rb2: i can xfer it to you if you wish [23:05] is it possible to make 1 .zip file into two .zip files that u highlight both when needed to extract bcuz i have 4 gb zip file and 2 gb media and i want to transfer it to another comp [23:05] woo: apt-get update [23:06] woo: apt-get clean [23:06] woo: apt-get install --reinstall gdm [23:06] woooh! [23:06] did you get a zillion packages updating ? [23:06] lol - that was different [23:07] quick scrollthrough of stuff and then tried it and 1 replacement something [23:07] ubunubi, I was just going to create a shell script to replace compiz with metacity and upon game closure, re-instate compiz. But, I'd like to take a look at how you're doing it. That would be great. [23:07] woo: Ok, [23:07] evildennisr try sudo invoke-rc.d gdm restart if still no luck [23:07] unpacked replacement gdm [23:07] elliotjh: he had stale deb packages I think [23:07] l3d : or under /usr/share/nautilus-scripts and maybe sym link is broken just a guess [23:07] any1 no how to make compressed .zip files (or other compression format files) be encrypted to the point where u would need a password to see the name of the files or to access the files? [23:07] ubunubi, although this still looks like a bug I need to address w/ #compiz-fusion [23:08] evildennisr - yeah, typed that in before seeing that [23:08] ok [23:08] rb2: not really, it's expected behaviour with the way compiz currently functions, it will make more sense when you see the script [23:08] i chose best xhtml/css/php editor on ubuntu like Notepad++? [23:08] s3a: I use tar and gpg [23:08] sorry for being a pain but your rewards will come like good karma [23:08] elliotjh: Apparently all I had to do was open it in nautilus first, have gnome recognize the disc. Then it worked fine [23:08] do i reboot now>? [23:08] woo: no, try the gdm restart again [23:09] Rb2:: make sure to set that file as "executable" [23:09] still not found [23:09] ? [23:09] woo: sudo invoke-rc.d gdm [23:09] tilgovi - odd you shouldn't have to do that. glad its working though [23:09] rb2: then edit it and replace INSERTYOURPROGRAMRUNCOMMANDHERE [23:09] it's the command thats not found? [23:09] s3a umm build the archive and then encript it with one of the standard utils for file envription ? would that work for you ? [23:09] jrib gpg is a program? [23:09] !gpg | s3a [23:09] ubunubi, thanks. I understand why it needs to be done (window manager switched, etc.). I just meant that fusion-icon, although set correctly, would not display my effects. That's buggy [23:09] s3a: gpg is the GNU Privacy Guard. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto and class #8 on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ClassroomTranscripts [23:10] unavailable: get it working? [23:10] evildennisr it needs an action like restart [23:10] scunizi nope, tryin to uninstall the aac and wmv right now [23:10] RB2: Normally you can "toggle" it using the fusion-icon menu and it'll kinda do the same thing as the script..but the script is cleaner [23:10] isn't gpg the command and the program called gnupg? [23:10] that way i can reinstall [23:10] l3d : ok like it works or something else [23:10] elliotjh: i told him /etc/init.d/gdm restart [23:10] Pollywog: yes [23:10] how do I know if its broken [23:10] jrib: ill use tar.gz or wtv but can u explain gpg?

[23:21] Agent_bob: yes [23:21] Agent_bob: I was just about to mention that [23:21] very good practice indeed, no gdm this time [23:21] l3d : are you telling me that you use username which you typed during install as your default account [23:22] woo: What did it say [23:22] Agent_bob: But I don't know how long the default is set to keep that log [23:22] Kakurady: that was just to restart pulseaudio in it's current config.. not to fix what you're experiencing.. sorry can't help with that.

Aborting" (screen turns red, etc) Any ideas? [23:30] lejon: will give it a try [23:30] lejon: Thank you [23:30] Spud___ mute the mic channel in volume control [23:31] solexious, but if you just want to reinstall it, then you should go to synaptics, search for network-manager and it will show you which packages you have installed, and you rightclick and chose reinstallation [23:31] Microcode SW error arg.... [23:31] solexious, no problem ^^Hope it helps [23:31] there is no admin rights under there [23:31] hi [23:31] spud___ yer second?? [23:31] l3d : privileges or something similar to that [23:31] does anybody know how can I determine which processes are using specific kernel module? [23:31] profile should be what [23:31] desktop user [23:31] Good evening Gentlegeeks :) After much blood sweat 'n tears I have Badger running, but it's not connecting to the Net! :( [23:32] ffm sounds like the server is not setup correctly, but i'm no spert on that. [23:32] l3d :yes [23:32] What do you mean, "yer second?" [23:32] Chiselhuk_Plus1, have the right drivers? [23:32] Agent_bob: ubuntu.media.mit.edu? [23:32] spud___ second question please [23:32] ffm heh one would hope it was, wouldn't one. [23:32] Chiselhuk_Plus1: Breezy hasn't been supported for over a year now. You should upgrade to something newer (and your internet will work better) [23:33] oko made === theRealBallchalk is now known as SolarisPride [23:33] Flannel: I tried to install Hardy, didn't work! [23:33] now what [23:33] yo [23:33] Chiselhuk_Plus1: Alright, What about dapper? [23:33] Agent_bob: I just switched over to the main server, same error. [23:33] Chiselhuk_Plus1, I agree with Flannel, if hardy didn't work, try feisty? [23:33] Oh, secondly, I want to speak to a contact on Google Talk, but it only works in Windows and not even in Wine. Is there any other way for me to voice chat with a Google Talk contact? [23:33] Spud___: No. === SolarisPride is now known as Solaris_Pryde [23:33] chiselhuk_plus1 try xubuntu [23:33] Flannel: I had this Badger online yesterday.....don't know what changed! [23:33] Chiselhuk_Plus1: What didn't work with the Hardy install, by the way? [23:33] I would like the theme and stuff like that to stay the same for him as well as me [23:33] l3d : do you have new user? try to eboot and login as that user [23:34] Spud___: You can try http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=127035 [23:34] spud___ try kopete that does voice [23:34] Flannel: It froze at 94% [23:34] Chiselhuk_Plus1: that's a bad burn, did the CD verify properly? [23:34] Okay, and if I mute the Mic channel, will my mic still work? Because I want it to work, I just want it to not play over the speakers [23:34] elliotjh: kopete does voice? [23:35] spud___ yup [23:35] OK thank you [23:35] Flannel or possably ram shortage. the required ram is higher in later versions [23:35] soulwarp - I assume so - it does camera [23:35] Flannel: Badger's up 'n running fine, and had access 2 the Net b4....but not now, is there anything we can check? [23:35] Spud___: any jabber client (and there are many including pidgin) can act as Gtalk client [23:35] Flannel: It's directly connected to my router, nothing changed hardware wise [23:35] hi, doesn't hardy have udf support? at least by default? [23:36] ok i know this isnt #networking but i doubt that exists, #dd-wrt are less than helpful and i dont know anywhere else to ask... my router (wrt54g) will not give my compaq a dhcp assignment. my compaq is connected to a wap54g with dd-wrt firmware, and then wirelessly to the wrt54g (linksys fw). the wrt54g hands the laptops (wifi) ip's and the other box (wired to the wrt) an ip. but when... [23:36] ...i try to connect dhcp, nothing. i send discover, no offer.... to my memory i did not change anything on either, the only thing that i can think is I was running transmission and the connection was cut (the wap was powered off). ive tried hard resetting both, and the only thing that results, is i have to set up the network again. what would be causing this? [23:36] Chiselhuk_Plus1: I haven't dealt with Breezy for... a while. Is this DHCP? [23:36] Chiselhuk_Plus1 : maybe network settings are not saved [23:36] Flannel: U ask like I know!! lol I'm a novice, really AND a woman! lol [23:37] winzard [23:37] hello [23:37] zvacet: We had no network settings saved [23:37] ola [23:37] portugal [23:37] [23:37] !pt [23:37] Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [23:37] !pt [23:37] eu tou a usar pt [23:37] chiselhuk_plus1 if you have a modern router it uses DHCP [23:37] Chiselhuk_Plus1 : that ca be problem don´ t you think ;) [23:38] ok I need to make everything look there like it does here first [23:38] pedro_: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em portugu?s. Obrigado. [23:38] Chiselhuk_Plus1: Alright, uh, alt-f2, gedit /etc/network/interfaces, do you see 'iface eth0 inet dhcp'? [23:38] l3d : but new user works isn´t it [23:38] Flannel: Plse slow down 'n explain step by step. [23:38] yes I got in [23:39] Chiselhuk_Plus1: I just did. hit alt-f2, type "gedit /etc/network/interfaces" and then check to see if that line is there [23:39] allright can anyone recommend where i might be able to ask the above question?? [23:39] How can I set a folder/HDD's owner to be "all" or "none" [23:39] since i am getting nothing from #dd-wrt? [23:39] unavailable ##linux [23:39] hey my printer wasnt working but i kinda got it working .. but this happens ... http://img34.picoodle.com/img/img34/4/6/13/f_Screenshotm_abb1843.png .... any ideas? [23:39] unavailable do they have a forum? [23:39] unavailable ##linuxhelp also [23:39] Coiotes_: those any of those users exist on your ystem?? [23:39] agent_bob but this isnt a linux problem [23:40] l3d : you will use account with admin privileges only if you want to install reinstall compile....administrative task for all other things you will use new user account [23:40] its a networking problem... [23:40] Flannel: It's just loaded a blank gedit [23:40] unavailable ##windows then [23:40] erUSUL: it's an external HDD I'll be using on multiple systems. [23:40] In ubuntu's bug tracker on launchpad there is a feature request (id #162253) for hpn-ssh patch to be rolled in to openssh or made into an alternative package. It's a high performance patch that creates variable size tcp windows (doesn't touch anything security related). Has anybody stumbled across a package with this patch applied? [23:40] agent_bob its a problem directly related to my wap and wrt, nothing to do with any type of os [23:40] Chiselhuk_Plus1: Oh, sorry. /etc/network/interface not interfaces [23:40] unavailable is it a linux system ? that's close enough for the guys in ##linux [23:40] Coiotes_: you can not assing ownership to an unexisting user afaik [23:40] lol [23:41] ok deal will do but I need the theme or look I have set here there for that user is there a easy way to do this as it took me a long time to get it to look like it does [23:41] is there a switch for apt-get to tell it not to stop/start services during install? [23:41] erUSUL: There's no way to set the HDD to have no owners? [23:41] unavailable but really if you don't want answers, don't ask questions. ;/ [23:41] Coiotes_: which fs is it formatted? [23:42] lol [23:42] Flannel: Error msg: "There is no default action associated with this location" [23:42] erUSUL: chown will accept numbers (as opposed to user:group names) so that you can assign that file to be owned by uid you want. [23:42] agent_bob i found ##networking [23:42] Chiselhuk_Plus1: gedit /etc/network/interface [23:42] erUSUL: ext3 [23:42] l3d : I reaky don´t know I keep my simple as it is possible [23:42] jrib: the gpg thing, how would i uncompress it? with terminal or gui? and can compress folders that are not compressed files? [23:42] *realy [23:42] * Toxic sighs [23:42] cannonball: but that number will/may map to a user on a random system [23:42] Flannel: That's what I typed [23:43] cannonball: the number is the user and viceversa [23:43] Well, after hours of frustration and dead ends, finally got 8.04 installed. Woohoo! [23:43] mine too just that I have colors/fonts and everything set here [23:43] Anyone mind helping with Compiz? The water effect (Super + CTRL) works but the cube, nor anything else, does [23:43] Chiselhuk_Plus1: With the gedit? [23:43] Flannel: Yes [23:43] I want to ditch GNOME and install Xubuntu to get a snappier interface. I'm not entirely clear on the line between "GNOME" and "applications installed on my machine." If I ditch GNOME, do I lose all the network-manager and power manager features as well? [23:43] how do I enable winRAR extraction in Hardy [23:43] !winrar [23:43] Factoid winrar not found [23:43] how do i increase the partition size of a ubuntu installation..i didnt use wubi, i installed on seperate partiotions. anyway i could do it simply like u can in vista? [23:43] Chiselhuk_Plus1: Alright, open up a terminal, cat /etc/network/interface [23:43] coopster: Going from GNOME to XFCE is kind of pointless [23:44] coopster: you don't loose them, they're still installed, just not started by default [23:44] how can i control the parallell port in ubuntu? [23:44] Shadda: did you try a different version? or looking up that bug. try looking up the bug first and if there's still no luck try a different version of compiz [23:44] sagredo apt get install unrar [23:44] coopster: power management ya i thin if ur talking bout sudo aptitude installing other gui and removing gnome [23:44] Baron1984: Why would you say that? [23:44] l3d : in other hand I don´t see why not probably you can do that I´m just not right person to ask because I don´t know answer to that [23:44] coopster: It doesn't use that much fewer resources, performance is about the same [23:44] I'd only use it on a severely low end system [23:44] Baron1984: what's a snappy one then ? [23:44] Flannel: Is there a space between cat 'n the first /? [23:44] In all my switching of video cards I've somehow managed to fry my on board NIC today.. system detects it (lspci and ifconfig show it) but the smell of burnt silicon and the fact the system said NIC failure durring POST (only twice though..) makes me think its dead.. no link light so anyone have any ideas or is it dead (brb sticking in pci eithernet =p) [23:44] probably Enlightenment [23:45] Shadda: and if that doesn't work, come back here and seek someone's help with the exact error, which you get from launching compiz --replace from a terminal prompt [23:45] coopster: You don't necessarily, no. If you remove ubuntu, and move to xubuntu, you'll have xubuntus versions. [23:45] Chiselhuk_Plus1: there is. [23:45] ok here is another question them will i have to switch users if i have to do a sudo [23:45] Flannel: If yes, there's another error msg "No such file or dir" [23:45] Chiselhuk_Plus1: cat is a program, /etc/network/interface is the file [23:45] Baron1984: u can always use fluxbuntu or ubuntu with fluxbox [23:45] EvilDennisR: When you're done helping woo, I've got a few PM questions for ya if you don't mind, just shoot me a PM [23:45] ubunubi: k [23:45] hi. i am trying to make ssh not accept passwords, just keys. i read that i need to change set ChallengeResponseAuthentication to yes. this didn't work since i can still log in without the key. how do you allow keys only? [23:45] Baron1984: if ur looking for spped i mean [23:45] Is it possible to start an ssh session from windows and run an application? [23:46] keithclark: putty [23:46] On a Linux machine? [23:46] s3a: OpenGEU is good for speed without compromising the GUI too badly [23:46] Chiselhuk_Plus1: blah. Ive confused myself again. its interfaces. Wonder what your error was the first time. Oh, blank, thats right. `cat /etc/network/interfaces` sorry, been a long day apparently. [23:46] keithclark: graphical? [23:46] it's an unofficial Ubuntu with Enlightenment [23:46] hydester: ChallengeResponseAuthentication no [23:46] hydester: not sure but I think you have to restart the ssh demon [23:46] erUSUL: yes, graphical [23:46] hydester: sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart [23:46] hydester: ssh-keygen [23:46] When loging in i get an eror saying that something has ignored a file in the $HOME by the name of .dmr or something to that effect and that i need to setup chmod and chown stuff on it.Anyone know what im talking about and most importantly how to fix it? [23:46] hydester: cd .ssh/ [23:46] Flannel: BINGO, the "s" helped...now wot do u need 2 know? [23:46] keithclark: there a few xservers for windows you can try that... [23:47] hydester: cp id_dsa.pub authorized_keys [23:47] EvilDennisR... no makes it not use the keys at all [23:47] erUSUL: I will Google them, thanks. [23:47] Well, I have a fairly powerful system (AMD Athlon 64X2 6000+ w/ 4gigs RAM), but I get sluggish response and delay from a lot of applications. How would I go about finding the causes for this? === Coiotes_ is now known as Coiotes [23:47] Chiselhuk_Plus1: "iface eth0 inet dhcp" is that there? [23:47] hydester: copy authorized_keys to what ever machine you want to ssh TO with out a password [23:47] Flannel: eth0 is there, but not the entire phrase as u put it! [23:47] keithclark: http://www.straightrunning.com/XmingNotes/ [23:47] hydester: make sure id_dsa is on the machine you're sshing FROM [23:47] hydester: Do what I said and it will work [23:48] COOPSTER: http://www.latencytop.org/ [23:48] Nasty Theme : Has anyone tips for attaching SERIAL Scanner (com1..) ?? [23:48] erUSUL: Thank you kindly! [23:48] EvilDennisR... i just set it to "no" and it asks for a password. when "yes" it doesn't [23:48] hey [23:48] coopster: that program shows you a "top" like output, that shows you what is causing latency anywhere on your system :) like a resource manager [23:48] what to install for .rar [23:48] ??? [23:48] EvilDennisR, i have been using keys. but i want it to only use keys and deny users withuot keys, not offering a password [23:48] ok does anyone know a way or if it can be done to apply the theme/profile settings from one user to another i.e would like the colors/fonts/theme settings from this user to my other user? [23:48] >> it also says i need to set the file to 644 i did that set the user to clint and i still got the error. Does it need to be a root file? [23:48] coopster you'll laugh when i say this. but; too much ram. [23:48] Chiselhuk_Plus1: What is in there then? iface eth0 inet static? (and then some more lines?) [23:48] sagredo_, sudo apt-get install unrar [23:49] hi [23:49] Ahadiel: thanks [23:49] :D [23:49] does anybidy know hot to leave running process in background? [23:49] and after i exit session it work at background? [23:49] Teeed & [23:49] it works [23:49] before i upgrade -,- [23:49] Teeed: screen is probably the best method [23:49] Teeed nohup [23:49] Flannel: "iface lo inet loopback" "map eth0" "script grep" [23:49] :teeed first look up by top, then kill by ID [23:50] EvilDennisR, i take that back. it doesn't change anything. /etc/ssh/sshd_config? [23:50] Chiselhuk_Plus1: that's it? Interesting. Especially that script grep part. Sounds like somebody screwed somethign up. [23:50] teeed@teeedserw:~$ php5 polSZMELC.php > /dev/null & [23:50] [1] 5861 [23:50] teeed@teeedserw:~$ exit [23:50] logout [23:50] There are stopped jobs. [23:50] Teeed: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:50] [1]+ Stopped php5 polSZMELC.php > /dev/null [23:50] Agent_bob: hrmm... you're right, I'll need more explaining for that one. Unless you mean that I have more than I need and not that the extra RAM is actually causing the problem [23:50] Teeed nohup [23:50] Flannel: What now, can you fix it?? lol [23:50] Teeed: nohub or screen [23:51] coopster more than 2g can cause slower response time but i'm not sure why. [23:52] Chiselhuk_Plus1: sure, make the file this: auto lo\n iface lo inet loopback\n\nauto eth0\niface eth0 inet dhcp. To change it, you'll need to use sudo. alt-f2 again, then `gksu "gedit /etc/network/interfaces"`, and then you'll be able to save [23:52] Chiselhuk_Plus1: each \n in there is a carriage return, not a literal "\n", obviously. [23:53] Agent_bob:: I'd guess cause of his swappiness value with that much ram [23:53] hohup eats a lot of CPU [23:53] Teeed my first answer "&" was to your first quesstion "howto background a process" you then added "and it remain running when i exit" so the answer changed from "&" to "nohup" and as flannel pointed out or "screen" [23:53] hello [23:54] i type [23:54] Flannel: I'm having big problems, any chance u can pm me? [23:54] ubunubi possably. [23:54] nohup php5 sss.php & [23:54] Chiselhuk_Plus1: /join #ubuntu-classroom [23:54] it stay in background [23:54] all is okay.. but cpu usage no... === Bodsda is now known as Bubblebot [23:55] Coopster:: you still there? === Bubblebot is now known as Bodsda [23:56] EvilDennisR, i got it. I had to include this: PasswordAuthentication no [23:56] I'm getting no error from compiz --replace, and desktop cube is enabled [23:56] however either I'm completely lost on how to use it, or it's simply not working [23:56] ubunubi: yes, did I miss something? [23:56] ubunubi: (i've changed my swappiness to 0 [23:56] ) [23:56] Coopster:: sudo -i echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness and run your system for awhile and see if it's any snappier [23:57] coopster: oh okay [23:57] coopster: did it help? [23:57] i have got a computer store about to be giving away free Ubuntu dics... [23:57] ubunubi: Too soon to say. With latencytop, is there an easy way to install this or must I patch the kernel manually> === Lurkinson is now known as Lurkinator [23:58] coopster: not sure. I only had LatencyTop bookmarked in Firefox as a "to checkout later" item, and it came to mind when you asked about it. I haven't had experience with it myself, but it sounded perfect for the information you wanted to know, in probably, very verbose/precise terms ;) [23:59] were going to give ubuntu away and then make money by teaching people how to use it [23:59] like thoroughly
