[00:23] it is a emachine laptop [00:23] petril: again, open a terminal, and type "lspci" no quotes, hit enter, and see how it identifies your sound device.. its probably not nvidia.

[00:24] I know man [00:24] amenado: Yeah, just some software I heard people got working on Linux. I can't even startup Ubuntu with the CD in the drive [00:24] you too if you'd like IndyGunFreak [00:24] HardDisk: lol [00:24] HardDisk: does it support passwords too? because this is password protected. [00:24] s3a: keep in mind that gpg keeps the original file (it does not erase it when he encryts it) [00:25] HardDisk: lol, no offense, its been a long time sicne i had to get help in here. [00:25] like probably Edgy, possibly Feisty [00:25] afallenhope, if there is a password, and you know the password then enter it, or it may show a password on an unpassworded rar means it may be corrupted. [00:25] erUSUL: ya i no and i no im looking at the right file cuz it also has a .gpg extension to it [00:25] IndyGunFreak, I understand.

Hmm [00:27] !error21 [00:27] Factoid error21 not found [00:27] HardDisk: i recompiled alsa in gutsy to make it work.. but hardy, intelhda seems to be fine, i figured the mcp51 was also.

[00:28] zvacet: i don't think he's using Intrepid [00:28] ubunubi: I have no idea.. Either the person /thought/ they knew what they were doing, and obviously didn't, or it was some asshole who thought it would be funny to fsck his machine up real good [00:29] okay, please can somebody help answer my question before my dialup self destructs again?

[00:29] petril, sec i'll give you what you need. [00:29] when I do sudo -i I can login as root without password, but only on the first terminal I start. How can that be ? [00:29] afallenhope, part files are not for extraction. [00:29] zvacet: well if he did, i missed that... [00:30] thats why I have like 3 different nicks in this channel at present [00:30] CraigW: are you using Intrepid? [00:30] wimpies: are you on live? [00:30] afallenhope, part files are used to build rar archives [00:30] CraigW, go into your bios and make sure your hard drives are set properly [00:30] HardDisk: mind mind if I msg you [00:30] sure [00:30] BCM43 what do you mean ? [00:30] EvilDennisR: didn't he say that laptop didn't have an internet connection (hence having to apt from his install cd repo), how'd you get a shell to it? [00:30] IndyGunFreak : yes but no reason to be nervous [00:30] CraigW, error 21 is cannot find a certain disk [00:30] IndyGunFreak: screen resolution applet didn't do the trick for me [00:30] afallenhope, pm me. [00:30] wimpies: are you using the livecd right now? [00:30] choudesh i do, i did a straight install from windows XP [00:30] ubunubi: He just unplugged another machine and plugged it in [00:30] no from a regular disk [00:30] any takers for beginner Ubuntu user, converted from Vista? =| [00:30] CraigW, using Wubi?

I've used two drivers; ati and fglrx. With ati, everything runs great EXCEPT compiz. But with fglrx, compiz is the only thing that runs well. With fglrx, zsnes runs slowly, but with ati, zsnes goes full speed! What should I do about this? [00:31] Pdavey: ask a question and we will try to help [00:31] BCM43, it violates some codes [00:31] oka-ay [00:31] CraigW, Windows based installer for linux [00:31] HardDisk: oh, ok, sorry [00:31] ye [00:31] TiZ_: get an nvidia card.

[00:32] its my panels - after logging on Ubuntu after a while, I look around on the themes and tried a few, now my panels do not appear, even after restarting [00:32] With an ATI Radeon Xpress 1150. [00:32] TiZ_: well, i wasn't being funny, but a laptop does limit your choices [00:32] CraigW: grub error 21 : Selected disk does not exist This error is returned if the device part of a device- or full file name refers to a disk or BIOS device that is not present or not recognized by the BIOS in the system. [00:32] you said graphics card, made me think PC [00:32] There's absolutely no changing it now, that's for sure. [00:32] CraigW, look @ https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide error 15 [00:32] I may have used the wrong wording then. [00:33] Anyone have any idea what happened to apt-get install lamp in 8.04? [00:33] I searched for envy in synaptic and it came up with alsa-tools-gui, is that what I need? [00:33] Toxic: i imagine its still there.. it would surprise me if its not...

[00:34] petril, just remove your current nvidia driver via synaptic and install using envyng [00:35] be back in a bit all... later [00:35] later IndyGunFreak [00:35] Pdavey: did this just start? or has it always done this [00:35] BCM43 I thought we changed the link for broadcom cards, I am not sure if it got changed again...

Paste the link in here and I will find it. [01:08] HardDisk: what syntax should I use? --data-dir?

I can log in, but I get sent back to the login screen after a minute or so. This process repeats indefinitely. Please help. [01:09] Good evening, I'm new to Linux and having some issues with screen res on Ubuntu, is anyone able to assist? [01:09] my pc hangs on shutdown, when deactivating the network interfaces. eth0 goes down fine, as does wlanm0, but it hangs on eth1 saying that it couldn't shutdown the device, and asks if the message bus daemon is still running. can anyone help? [01:10] S8n, videocard type? [01:10] how do i tell if i have bluetooth device (hardware) in my laptop? [01:10] Its nvidia 5200. The drivers have been installed, but its restricted to 640x480 res [01:11] S8n, sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings then run sudo nvidia-settings [01:11] TiZ to try again, boot into recovery mode then do a nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf and delete the contents [01:11] then do a dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [01:11] pick the VESA driver and uninstall the ati and all should boot again [01:11] [TiZ], boot to recovery mode and choose the 'Fix X' option [01:12] grim76: http://pastebin.com/m2ccd4a0e + http://pastebin.com/d5682bda7 [01:12] * somenickfree has borked alot of ati driver installs, so he knows how to recover [01:12] <[TiZ]> I guess you're going to want to know the steps. The problem started after I removed fglrx, trying to go back to open-source ati, and added some stuff into my xorg.conf. That caused the log-in screen to not appear, so I booted into recovery mode and used the xfix entry. I then resumed normal boot and installed fglrx using envy. And now I am where I am now. [01:12] pinnerup: ok I will look at them now. [01:12] HardDisk: I placed 100 MBs worth of .mpgs to .electricsheep and when I select it from the screensaver option no anamations start [01:12] somenickfree, i dont think the driver/video settings are in dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg anymore, [01:12] When I run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg it goes thru a whole section about my keyboard and thats all.. Nothing about resolution. [01:12] <[TiZ]> I will fix X and return here to report on the result. [01:13] sagredo, run electricsheep manually from terminal [01:13] S8n: try adding more resolutions to xorg.conf under Modes [01:13] and check it [01:13] blah may be why the commercial fglrx doesn't work anymore, but the open source driver now works for me HA! [01:13] S8, boot to recovery mode from grub and choose the Fix X option [01:13] HardDisk: it tries to download sheep [01:13] somenickfree, i know dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg no longer works [01:13] I added 1024x768 just to test, and it made no difference. One sec, gonna grab the message from the xorg log files quickly. [01:14] how do I get rid of the new restricted driver icon? [01:14] sagredo, you did sudo apt-get install electricsheep correct?

[02:02] How do I view animated gifs actually animated? :/ [02:02] Image viewer just shows the first frame [02:02] hey, i have a problem, I have tried multipile versions of Xubuntu and Kubuntu as high as 8.04, when I boot into them they are WICKED slow, and then still slow when it eventually does boot it. I used to run Xubuntu fine without any problems. I thought it might be the graphics card but I put one I know works and still no help. [02:03] BlackCow: how much ram? [02:03] could it be a hardware problem? [02:03] BlackCow: Try Xubuntu 8./04 [02:03] 1 gig [02:03] i am running Xubuntu 8.04 [02:03] hmm, sounds like some other hardware issue... [02:03] it was fine for a while but then it got slow again [02:03] BlackCow: Use Xubuntu and use the "ALTERNATE" disk.. [02:03] Or use Fluxubuntu [02:03] They run MUCH better on slower PC's. [02:04] i've got a delta 66 soundcard, and I can't get any sound out of it, ubuntu seems to load the alsa driver, and amarok seems to start playing, but no sound.. i've checked the mute settings in alsamixer and envy24control [02:04] yeah, but whats strange is Xubuntu used to run just fine, which makes me think something broke [02:04] IndyGunFreak: no, i added a hard drive and installed ubuntu on it then took it off and put it in another comp but that f***ed up the grub on my main hd (the hd i dint take out - i said i SHOULD of took off the power before booting) [02:04] NullNam1: thats the thing, his PC doesn't seem that slow.. he should be able to run gnome or KDE w/o issue. [02:04] BlackCow: how is it slow [02:04] bleck: where did you get a delta 66 soundcard? [02:04] bleck, known bug https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/login_page.php?return=%2Falsa-bug%2Fview.php%3Fid%3D3327 [02:04] s3a: well, reinstall grub.... that should work [02:05] oh. Maybe it's the video card. [02:05] i got the card from ebay [02:05] its slow to boot it, the little loading bar is also glitchy, dosnt go in a strait line, bad colors, then when it does boot in everything is REAAAALLLY slow [02:05] new though, not second hand [02:05] hi all [02:05] BlackCow: Are windows and text very large??? [02:05] I tried a new graphics card and still no hel [02:05] nope, resoultion is fine [02:05] i wanna ask again === Rave1_away is now known as Rave1_ [02:05] BlackCow: You might now have the drivers for your graphics card installed [02:05] BlackCow: do you have two memory dimms? [02:05] *not have [02:06] can i make a repo server using my dvd repo ? [02:06] NullNam1: no, even the generic drivers shoiuld boot it fine. [02:06] this sounds like a hardware issue, likely ram, hard drive or cPU dying [02:06] yeah, and remember it was working for a while [02:06] so you think something is dying eh? [02:06] IndyGunFreak: I've used nvidia cards with Ubuntu that have given me similar problems. [02:06] BlackCow: seems it.. do you have two memory dimms(like 2, 512mb dimms) [02:06] choudesh: aah. thanks [02:06] oh memory slots? [02:07] NullNam1: with the generic driver?.. i'd think you're in the minority woth that [02:07] hi would you look at my question here http://paste.ubuntu.com/20018 [02:07] choudesh: how did you find that so quick? [02:07] two 512's I think [02:07] BlackCow: not slots.. how many memory dimms do you have(chips) [02:07] leme check real quick [02:07] BlackCow: what i would do.. remove 1 512mb chip, boot.. and see if it boots ok, if its still slow, reinstall the other chip, and remove the other... [02:07] i'm almost sure this is a memory issue [02:07] IndyGunFreak: I had to use envy to make the card work properly...The desktop was in 800x600 I think === crimeboy_ is now known as pogmaster [02:07] and slow [02:07] yeah, two 512 MB chips, ill try that [02:07] thaniks for the help [02:07] NullNam1: well, thats envy..

[02:19] I am having trouble with some private torrents, and I found out the most likely problem is a firewal some where, is there one that is automaticly configured with a freash install of ubuntu? [02:19] crimsun, ok, cheers [02:19] wow, #ubuntu is not nearly as user-friendly as it used to be (even 6-12 months ago). guess the debian crowd moved in :( [02:19] ubunubi right click menu bar, edit menus: enable new login in system tools.

How do I know what to put in xorg.conf [02:20] hey anyone know why when I try to create a folder on/in my workgroup I get an error that says "Operation not supported by backend" [02:21] Luckrider: until a question that only the elites would bother to answer comes up, you will see idling [02:21] I am having trouble with some private torrents, and I found out the most likely problem is a firewal some where, is there one that is automaticly configured with a freash install of ubuntu?

[02:23] ubunubi with new login, you'll get the ctl-alt-Fx action you're talking about; the login in new window would start the X server in a window on your current desktop [02:23] any help is appreciated [02:23] nickrud: will compiz and all my current desktop autolaunch stuff auto launch in this new window? or will a different xorg.conf or something be generated for it?

I checked the /boot/grub/menu.lst and the options are "ro quiet splash" for boot up, just like they have been in the past. Any ideas how to suppress all the startup messages and keep... [02:48] ...the splash screen? [02:49] Jack_Sparrow because its SATA would that affect it? [02:49] CraigW try a different release of ubuntu or a different distro.. [02:49] leefmc: copy and paste that search string replacing PROGRAMNAME and you'll get some good leads on where to start [02:49] ubunubi: Well, im not wondering how to install.. i just figured there was a standard where most programs sat. If not, i can make my own, no biggie. [02:49] ok irc on pidgin, anyway to change people's nick's colors?? [02:49] Jack_Sparrow where can i get 7.10 [02:49] will rootkits included in torrents be able to function in ubuntu, anyone? [02:49] How do I get windows that are flexible? [02:49] CraigW No, I havbe sata, ide and mixed system all over.. that isnt the problem in your case [02:49] anirudh0 it's experimental. I remember reading a thread on some mail list (?) about a guy using it to get to gdm in under 30 seconds. Still some issues on ensuring the correct sequencing of certain init scripts iirc [02:49] Jack_Sparrow where can i get 7.10 [02:50] CraigW You might look in bios to see if your can emulate ide with your sata.. that is where I would start [02:50] leefmc: ubuntu obviously has a file structure...most big programs installed by the user sit in /usr/bin (if it's a binary) etc...but that's more a linux standard than say an Ubuntu one [02:50] Jack_Sparrow i never had a problem with 7.10, where can i dind this [02:50] !download [02:50] nickrud, strange..fedora default boot was 28 sec(last i checked fc6) [02:50] Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://nl.releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors - PLEASE use the !torrents to download Hardy, and help keeping the servers' load low! [02:50] hey [02:50] im using brasero and i would like to know how to turn off checksum [02:50] leefmc: if a program requires files to be put in specific places SPECIFICALLY to work with ubuntu (if it deviates from the other distro standards//basic standard), then that's what the HOWTO's you google will tell you [02:50] will rootkits included in torrents be able to function in ubuntu, anyone? [02:51] tmapj: Depends. Probably not, since the majority of them are windows rootkits. If you wanted to, you could probably get them to half-run in wine, with a little effort. If they are arch specific, then once it gets installed, it should run. But the arch specific ones still have OS specific installation methods, I believe. [02:51] nickrud, well...i'll disable whatever startup services i can..thanks again [02:51] tmapj rootkits included in ubuntu iso from torrents? [02:51] ubunubi: Yea. Heh, i mean.. I've got my blender directory sitting in "/usr/local/" which just seems.. odd. Yet i was told to. Though there seems to be no reason why, since i just created a symlink to a dif spot anyway.. its just hacky.. heh [02:51] anirudh0 there's something on the forums, you might want to read that over [02:51] tmapj md5 prevents that from happening [02:51] ubunubi: Yea i know, thats why im asking for this simple case of "where to shove crap" heh [02:51] So I am just finishing setting up a dedicated css server. I'm starting to get stressed, it says serv online but i cant find it ingame... [02:52] ubunubi: I don't like the feel of "shoving crap" in /usr/local/ [02:52] no im just worried about rootkits from downloading torrents [02:52] :P [02:52] leefmc: then 'shove' it where you do like the feel of it, lol, as long as it works, and you can find it, and there's space and permissions setup..have at it [02:52] tmapj: check the md5sum with the project whose software you are downloading [02:53] ubunubi: I know, i just wanted to shove it where it belonged haha. Guess they dont really belong anywhere heh [02:53] jrib what are you talkinig about ? [02:53] nvr mnd i like chatzilla better [02:53] tmapj: your concern about rootkits and how to address it [02:54] leefmc: this might be a good "guideline" http://www.ubuntugeek.com/linux-or-ubuntu-directory-structure.html [02:54] what does "with the project whose software you are downloading" mean? [02:54] ubunubi: Sounds good, thank you [02:54] How do I found out why Firefox isn't starting? [02:54] tmapj: you download program X. You look up program X's md5sum [02:54] When I run from terminal there is no output. [02:54] what's an md5sum? [02:55] Hemebond: ps -ef | grep firefox any processes? [02:55] Leefmc, iirc there's a freedesktop standard as well [02:55] tmapj: it's a checksum. It let's you verify what you have is what you are supposed to have (ie no one changed it) [02:55] * Leefmc googles freedesktop standard [02:55] jrib: erm. I'm asking for a friend (who is afk atm). [02:55] ah, tell me more [02:55] jrib: He's just installed Ubuntu and things aren't working. [02:56] tmapj: wikipedia article on checksum is probably a good read [02:56] jrib: I'll ask him when he gets back. [02:56] ok [02:56] Hemebond: k, probably a lot easier if he just comes here [02:56] jrib: he is here. vial. [02:56] is there something special i have to do to get the small icon to show in the context menu when adding something to nautilus-actions? i see the menu item, just not the icon i set [02:56] Hemebond: "here" as in not afk [02:57] jrib: Yes. [02:57] Hemebond, is he shy or something...why not ask himself [02:57] Leefmc Let me find the link on the file structure take me just a minute [02:57] jrib: Not sure why he connected then buggered off. [02:57] lol [02:57] Can you ls and get perms of a file in numeric format? [02:57] Jack_Sparrow: pardon? This one seems decent http://www.ubuntugeek.com/linux-or-ubuntu-directory-structure.html [02:58] cdavis_: you can use 'stat' (see 'man stat') [02:58] whats the preferred irc client for ubuntu? [02:58] unavailable: Pidgin [02:58] and how does it compare to chatzilla [02:58] Leefmc yep.. that was it [02:58] unavailable: whichever one you like best, pidgin is default [02:58] i like pidgin [02:58] jrib, thanks [02:58] unavailable: Much better. [02:58] Jack_Sparrow: :) [02:59] any others? [02:59] Anybody have any idea why I see all the startup messages on bootup when I have "ro quiet splash" in my /boot/grub/menu.lst entry?

[03:22] Flannel: is that because firefox is becoming spyware-like? [03:22] ten, centos != ubuntu afaik [03:22] s3a: No, I imagine it has to do with the iceweasel thing.

Fixing one thing just brings up another problem [03:23] philh, yes, the commands should be same right, if I can sudo open a file manager it would help too [03:23] philh, how do I do that [03:23] All issues prob stem from my nvidia drivers [03:23] th1, HardDrive I have tried to reinstall ubuntu but don't work yet [03:23] ten, what's the filesystem on the drive?

I noticed my speed in ubuntu seemed so slow. Then I did a iwconfig and noticed the rate was at 1mbps. Well, divide that in bytes instead of bits thats about what I was getting [04:06] algebraist: export r_kill 0 ? [04:06] *rf_kill [04:06] so I looked for a forum.. and people said that you have to switch the bit rate to auto.. but I think thats what its at becuase when I do auto it sitll says 1mbps. Setting it to 54M didn't do much. I followed a link to compile rt2500 drivers and .. they compiled fine [04:07] but I couldn't acutally connect. The drivers didn't automatically work with the gnome network thingy.. an dI couldn't set them manually either [04:07] dhclient said that it couldn't find any responces.. [04:07] so I disabled rt2500 (which used ra0 not wlan0 for some reason) and used rt2500pci again.. It worked this time [04:07] erin, does that really work? i am talking about /sys/bus/pci/drivers/iwl4965/*/rf_kill , not a shell variable [04:07] iwlist doesn't give me... well, I'm confused [04:07] I got 54M .. and I got great speed. It only works when I put the card down first.. then change the rate.. and then put it back up [04:07] algebraist: oh probably not then, sorry :P [04:07] candive: try "sudo make install" [04:08] but on the forums it said it was bad to use 54M unless I'm really close to the router becuase it probably won't get that speed [04:08] erin, no worries, thanks anyway :) [04:08] so I'm just not sure what I should do.. Also.. on boot I had no internet.. This is what I friggen hate about linux. I compiled the rt2500 drivers but I don't know why its using them by default on boot now [04:08] Hello. I see that ubuntu has a package for murmur on hardy-sparc. I'm curious about how it was patched to run properly, as murmur on my supersparc crashes with a bus error whenever a player speaks. [04:08] erin, did you see my paste? [04:08] candive: yes [04:08] I didn't change anything else.. I just did a temporary modprobe -r or rmmod and changed it back to the original [04:08] going to terminal [04:08] candive: was that the output of make install? [04:09] goodeve [04:09] i have a simple ? [04:09] but I've also seen a site say that the rt2500 drivers shipped with hardy ARE the same drivers as the ones I were compiling. obviously not as new though. The ones in the kernal are apparently buggy [04:09] so I suppose my quesiton is... should I be using hardys rt2500 drivers or compile my own. And second... how can I set my rt2500 to connect at 54M on boot. I'm afraid to set it to 54M because if I have to connect to another server or something I don't want to do 'damage' to my card [04:10] but if I do auto.. it always drops to 1mbps [04:10] i am using freespire and it is based on ubuntu can i sudo comand and get the games that i had in ubuntu [04:10] !question | shane_ [04:10] shane_: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily).

I figured that it would connect at 54M and just not reach that speed [04:22] i'm not sure why it would but i couldn't say for sure either way [04:22] I just don't want to be fine here.. and then go to a cafe or something and have it try to connect at 54M and damage my card because of signal quality or something [04:22] right.. ok [04:23] I guess the other question is.. if I put a module in the modules directory.. it automatically loads everything in there on boot? [04:23] I never added the rt2500 driver I compiled to any start up list.. I simply rmmoded the old drivers and modprobed in the new one.

[04:28] avis [04:28] Matt_ hm, system in control panel, advanced button. Don't have vista open so I can't say exactly [04:28] nickrud, yeah I put it in /etc/modules. I din't know you could modprobe a module from anywhere else. That would be the answer to that. Thank you [04:29] avis you may be able to just delete ubuntu and grub al togeather and just set the boot flag on the vista partition [04:29] actually.. hah [04:29] yes clintchance ? i have a friend who wants to try out ubuntu, though i dont think he'll do it unless he can go back to the way things were originally if things dont work out [04:29] no I didn't [04:29] I thought that was a directory [04:29] so why did rt2500 load on boot? I didn't do that. [04:29] clintchance, do you have a url for restoring mbr to the original before ubuntu was installed on a vista computer ? does anyone ? [04:29] avis i dont have a url but that has worked for me [04:29] thanks nickrud [04:30] avis the vista was OEM though i dont know f that has any effect on it [04:30] Lanlost probably you installed it to the right kernel module directory, the kernel saw the hardware and looked for a module [04:30] Lanlost in laymans terms, that is :) [04:30] clintchance, so you only changed the bootlflag back to vista ? you mentioning removing grub (which is stored on the mbr) but didn't mention how you'd do that [04:30] clintchance: wouldn't there be syetem restore discs in that case? [04:30] anybody read me? [04:30] system* [04:31] i_dontknow we see you [04:31] Darkaudit, acer didnt supply then [04:31] I know.. Its weird though.

Then you can download the iso, and point the virtual machine cd to the iso on the ubuntu install [04:41] EMERGENCY!

[04:45] kholerabbi: You need the alternate CD [04:45] flannel: damn, really? [04:46] Hillshum sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg should get you back to a default X config, other mice should work then [04:46] nickrud, awesome thanks [04:46] i have a problem with the network monitor on the top panel, it does not display networks around me when i click it [04:46] kholerabbi: aye. Desktop CD doesn't have any (well, its got a couple) packages on it. You use the alternate CD as a deb source, basically. [04:47] does anyone know of a simple video editing program to do trimming of mp4 [04:47] flannel: thanks- I'll just clean install then.. But I can leave the /home intact with fresh install? [04:47] Flannel I haven't tried that myself, what happens when an installed universe package depends on a specific version of a package in main (and the main package gets updated)? [04:47] kholerabbi: Assuming you have separate home partition, yeah. [04:47] Flannel not thinking of a specific package, just generally [04:48] nickrud: You end up needing to connect to the internet to grab that package [04:48] Is there anyway to change specific options of the built in "Visual Effects" for Ubuntu 8.04? [04:48] Flannel ok, figured. So you end up with a broken package, or an aborted install? [04:48] nickrud: The alternate CD allows you to upgrade with downloading "most" already (from the CD) [04:48] kholerabbi: I would leave an update a few weeks and wait for 8.04.1. 8.04 has a lot of updates and even with those is not production ready. [04:48] Flannel ah. That's what I would expect, so net connection is still required [04:48] nickrud: Uh, if you're offline... I'm not sure. It could uninstall them perhaps. I haven't tried. [04:49] i want to remove my swap partition because i am going to stick the contents of a kubuntu iso on to it [04:49] aro, System->Preferences->Appearance .. select Visual Effects tab [04:49] and then boot off it [04:49] philwyett. I just use ubuntu for emails and chat and fun mate - but thanks for the warning [04:49] * nickrud will find someone who has, one day [04:49] sup channel [04:49] i am having serious problems with choppy scrolling .. can anyone help me ? [04:49] removing the swap wont stuff up my computer will it? [04:49] cypher1, I know that. I said specific options, not just clicking basic and advanced. [04:49] nickrud: It even scares a lot of people when you do it (with the CD) because at first it says "800MB of packages need to be downloaded" sort of thing, and then 80+% of that goes way real quick. [04:49] do ubuntu have the option of restoring to an earlier time like windows [04:49] Flannel hahaha [04:50] aro, sorry i dont know [04:50] acer_ no [04:50] hello everyone [04:50] bobby not unless you run out of memory [04:50] cool [04:50] I mainly want to turn off window snapping. [04:50] you don't need to remove it though bobbyjones [04:50] cos my cd drive is broken and that seems to be i only hope of upgrading [04:50] I don't want windows to stick to edges and other windows. [04:50] bobbyjones, swapoff -a [04:50] aro install compizconfig-settings-manager , then it'll be in the prefs menu under advanced desktop settings [04:51] thanks! [04:51] bobbyjones, then to turn back on swapon -a [04:51] Flannel, yeah i know what your saying about that, it scared the heck outta me as well....i freaked over 800..then realized how fast it was going and stuff. [04:51] is compiz enabled by default in hardy !? [04:51] Nicke_, thanks. [04:51] cypher1 if your video card supports it without a proprietary driver [04:52] nickrud, do u think it something that is important and should be introduced in the coming versions [04:52] nickrud, i am having choppy scrolling in X after i upgraded to hardy [04:52] cypher1, it does activate automatically if you install the proper drivers [04:52] cypher1 if it's ati or nvidia, go to system->admin->hardware drivers , and enable the right driver === afallenhope is now known as gOLDfeesh [04:52] once ive booted the livecd off that partition and i run the installer will grub be set up correctly?

[05:34] swedekid: under the various services, look for "Service" and make sure it is started. it's there for file and print sharing [05:35] Compiz cube rotation, ZSnes, Cave Story. [05:35] ZSnes runs terribly compared to how I run it on windows [05:35] Cave Story's fine except for the tear near the top of my screen [05:35] ok [05:35] And that's mostly the same for cube rotation.

On Windows, I run ZSNes with HQ3x. [05:37] hem.. [05:37] The linux version won't let me pick anything higher than HQ2x, and it runs half-speed [05:37] i have xchat can i use it to get chris prillo,if so can you help me [05:38] chat room [05:38] But there's a really funny thing about this. [05:38] on Compiz, what's Button4 & Button5? [05:38] The open source driver does wonderful. [05:38] what is the keyboard shortcut for the cube? [05:38] amrik: control shfit left/right arrow [05:38] I can run ZSnes at full speed, there's no horizontal tear...

Your Ati is higher than mine and therefor should go faster right? im running 1100 and your 1150? maby its a known problem?

(sorry, just made the switch) [06:06] matt_: to *see* your .nexuiz folder, you'll need to ctrl-h, since its a hidden folder [06:07] uzair: I have files shared [06:07] I've got Gutsy. [06:07] ok [06:07] deleted it. [06:07] now what? [06:08] matt_: run the game again [06:08] I have a problem with my updater/synaptic ect.

[06:09] TehLulze: you'd have to mess around with your smb.conf file (/etc/samba/smb.conf) [06:09] swedekid2: yes [06:09] matt_: You should, yes. The version you manually installed won't get updates, and you'll hvae problems if you upgrade [06:09] I have a problem with my updater/synaptic ect. I attempted to install old software but I canceled and now every time I try installing something it attempts to finsh the download. How do i delete the program so it stops trying to download?

I lost entire root partition of ubuntu server. I have tar of entire root minus proc, mnt, and sys.

[06:25] kbreit: I'm sorry...console? like..terminal? [06:25] yup [06:26] shouldn't ubuntu become a little more rolling release? [06:26] kbreit, some people spend their whole computing lives barely knowing what that is other than some weird text thing in a hacker movie they saw 4 months ago. [06:26] anyone know how to fix privileges problems with root folders? [06:26] kbreit that didn't do anything [06:26] i mean they could add banshee 1.0 [06:26] or the new nvidia driver [06:26] akim: there are new releases every 6 months [06:26] matthew_: From the terminal, as root, do an updatedb && locate emusic [06:27] akim: #ubuntu-offtopic for this discussion, thanks [06:27] im trying to move a folder somewhere, but I always get the permission denied, how do I fix that?

[06:28] Hello [06:29] enaner: use sudo, which requires your user's password [06:29] kbreit: I'm sorr I don't know what that means. I guess I should have done a little more research before I fully switched. :P [06:29] tritium: yes but whast the command? [06:29] enaner, gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [06:29] I have a question. Can I install off the desktop liveCD without modifying the MBR or does it do that automatically? [06:29] demfrax: Do you just want to move the file, or do you want to change the permissions? [06:29] enaner: depends on which editor you choose. See Jordan_U's response for one method. [06:30] matthew_: You don't know how to run commands as root? [06:30] Desmond-, There is an advanced option at one point that will allow you to skip installing grub [06:30] I am trying to move a folder to /usr/share/games/fretsonfire/data/songs yet every time I try I get Error moving file: Permission denied. and I dont know how to fix it [06:30] hey I extracted a tar.gz on my desktop and I can run the app if I right click on a file in the folder to run it, but how do I get it to be with the rest of my apps? what folder? [06:30] how do i test if my svideo in is working [06:30] kbreit: i guess not, or maybe I do and I just didn't know that what it was called...i'm betting I just didn't know though [06:31] matthew_: su updatedb [06:31] demfrax, You can change the ownership of the directory with the chown command [06:31] kbreit: sudo, you mean [06:31] how do I do that? [06:31] demfrax, sudo chown YourUserName /usr/share/games/fretsonfire/data/songs [06:32] Where YourUserName is the name you use to login to ubuntu [06:32] kbreit: I continue to feel inept..."Unknown id: su updatedb" [06:32] tritium: Yeah, thanks [06:32] matthew_: sudo updatedb rather [06:32] ah k [06:32] Jordan_U, but is it on the desktop liveCD as well or only on the alternate? [06:32] Hi, I am running Ubuntu - I installed the 'kubunt-desktop' dummy package cause I wanted to try out KDE. I want to know how can I get my old "ubuntu" splash/boot screens back instead of the Kubuntu ones I have now? [06:32] I lost entire root partition of ubuntu server. I have tar of entire root minus proc, mnt, and sys. I tried using recover cd and untarring backup but when I reboot I get wierd uuid error and can't seem to bypass. What is best way to recover from tar? [06:32] thanks! [06:32] Desmond-, It is available on both [06:33] Ok, thanks [06:33] Desmond-, I believe the 'advanced' option is available right before you confirm which partitions will be modified [06:34] Desmond-, (on the desktop CD, on the alternate it's just one of the steps) [06:34] Is there a way I can verify I have my NAT settings correct? [06:34] ok so i played around with whatever i cud think of .... so how do i start on my journey of creating something by myuself [06:35] enaner: Creating what sort of something? [06:35] . [06:35] flannel like what are some stuff u pros do [06:35] kbreit: I guess I didn't fully install it because it seems to be located at /home/matthew/.emusic but it's not present when I navigate there...okay thanks. [06:35] The iptable rules I was using under my old distro don't seem to work. And adding the vanilla nat rules from the ubuntu howto doesn't seem to work either. [06:36] Hi, I am running Ubuntu - I installed the 'kubunt-desktop' dummy package cause I wanted to try out KDE.

[07:18] enaner: you seem to be convinced [07:18] sudo nano /etc/hosts [07:18] pukeman: exactly [07:18] add you host name thare [07:18] tenX: convinced of what exactly? [07:18] ]there [07:18] 127.0.0.1 agus [07:19] enaner: convinced of that mysterious ichat software [07:19] then the error will gone [07:19] did a recent software update make sudo need dns or something? never used to do this. [07:19] tenX: its not really mysterious ... i liked usin it on my mac ... now i want something like thaton my ubuntu :D [07:20] enaner: what the heck is it then making it so interesting [07:20] sudo hostname [new-hostname] [07:20] then edit file /etc/hosts [07:20] tenX: lol sorry ... all i am asking is if theres a linux equivalent [07:20] how to make a pc to pc call [07:21] TehLulze http://paste.ubuntu.com/20074/ [07:21] pc to pc... use skype [07:21] enaner: i simply cant make out what you exactly demand from that piece of software [07:21] bhc, my host has different ip's for different interfaces, and sometimes different ip's for the same interface. [07:21] how to make pc2pc call [07:21] nickrud: And? [07:21] ashish: ppp? [07:22] where i ppp [07:22] try to add [ip] [hostname] on /etc/hosts [07:22] hehheheh [07:22] how to get ppp [07:22] tenX: the cool bubble things [07:22] everytime the ip changes? [07:22] ashish: well you dont seem to be sure about what you want [07:22] i use kppp on kubuntu [07:22] :) [07:23] using novatel umts modem... word nice [07:23] damn media centers [07:23] work* [07:23] TehLulze so, it seems that your device is not getting recognized as a usb device by the kernel. It gives you a path to investigate. Are you sure you only got those hal messages? Mine took a bit to finish up [07:23] enaner: bubbles? if you want to be distracted chose some pr0n as wallpaper [07:23] could someone pls explain to me how to open a tar.gz file? [07:23] tmapj: tar -zxf file.tar.gz [07:23] tar -zxvf file.tar.gz [07:24] ubunubi: Thank you very much for your help. [07:24] tmapj: you should read it up in the man page though [07:24] tmapj: double-click? [07:24] tenX: thank you for your help ;/ [07:24] bullgard4: anytime [07:24] Regarding these proposed updates, can someone explain if it's safe to install the openoffice updates? [07:24] (since they're no longer "partial" updates) [07:25] another question, why would a nfs mount, then a reboot results with 'mount.nfs: internal error' with the same mount server/mount point? [07:25] * nickrud never installs proposed, unless he wants to help debug [07:25] enaner: didnt mean to be rude. just feel that way. effects simply distract [07:25] tenX, whats the man page? [07:25] nickrud: ah [07:25] tmapj: of what? [07:25] man tar [07:25] you told me to look it up in the man page [07:25] what is the man page [07:25] !man | tmapj [07:25] tmapj: The "man" command brings up the Linux manual pages for the command you're interested in. Try "man intro" at the command line, or see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [07:26] tmapj so, type man tar [07:26] tmapj for most purposes, you can doubleclick a tar.gz to see what's in it, or extract to a location as well [07:26] nickrud, can i make apt mirror using my dvd repo ? [07:27] bhc I've heard that it can be done, but never tried it myself [07:27] bhc, http://www.howtoforge.com/local_debian_ubuntu_mirror [07:27] nickrud: same as me too [07:27] Hello, please, how to make active mp3 decoding in Hardy? I tried with steps for earlier versions of Ubuntu, but no luck... [07:28] weldan I have used an apt-mirror though, when I lived at the end of a 3k dialup ;) [07:28] Felix_Krull you mean for rhythmbox and the like? [07:29] Well, yes, for Sound Juicer and stuff [07:29] Felix_Krull ah, use make mp3's when you rip [07:29] On the one hand, it seems that I can listen, but cannot decoding [07:30] Felix_Krull for sound-juicer, look at the help, preferences, all the way at the bottom [07:30] Hi. [07:30] Anyone awake? [07:30] * Parham peers around... [07:31] Felix_Krull I take that back, preferences doesn't have it in hardy .. a sec [07:31] <_Mica_> Of course, it's the morning in here Finland;) [07:31] * Parham cheers. [07:31] Here in Iran too [07:31] Yes, I am just looking... [07:32] could someone pls explain to me how to open a tar.gz file? [07:32] There is just general explanation what is mp3 [07:32] Can I ask a question? :) [07:32] nickrud, so what should I do? [07:33] Parham: no [07:33] Felix_Krull looking for the setup [07:33] Parham: you just did [07:33] tmapj: tar -xzvf file.tar.gz [07:33] * Parham sniffs. [07:33] !questions|Parham [07:33] Parham: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [07:33] Well can I ask another question? [07:33] Oh! [07:33] Felix_Krull you have gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly and gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse installed? [07:33] Ok I will ask the question hehe. [07:33] How so I add a "wait"/pause (in seconds) into a bash script? [07:33] do* [07:33] What's up with these semi-regular undocumented updates to gcc/cpp/g++ "dependancy" packages? [07:33] ubunubi: Why are you waiting/pausing? === exp_ is now known as HRshovinstuff [07:34] ubunubi: sleep? at? [07:34] do you just want to wait till a key is pressed? [07:34] weldan, the link says that i must download the repo file (25GB), i already have dvd repo, and i want to use it to make local mirror [07:34] Flannel: Because I need to make sure the command previous is 100% done, and 2 seconds have let the new settings "kick in" before the next command is launched [07:34] nickrud, I think not multiverse... Let me check... [07:35] Well I have downloaded the Ubuntu 8.0.4 alternate CD and when I boot off it, the language selection comes up. After I select the language, the option to install Linux comes up and when I press enter on any of the options, nothing happens. The CD starts spinning, but that's all. [07:35] can anyone explain why when i have a DVD game disc in my drive i cannot see the *.exe installer (even with hidden files shown) I HAVE to reboot into windblows and copy the exe files to a directory in order to gain access to them in ubuntu. any help is much appreciated [07:35] dunno, I never try it. If you can get it work please share with me. [07:35] Flannel:: I'm currently using:: killall fusion-icon && metacity --replace & wine "C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\wow.exe" -openGL && fusion-icon & === weldan is now known as weldan- [07:35] flannel:: but wine is launching before the metacity --replace has taken effect [07:35] Uh oh. I hope I don't have to download the live CD? Since the alternate took ages. Haha. [07:36] ubunubi: well add a sleep there [07:36] nonix4:: syntax? [07:36] ubunubi: Does metacity --replace end? or does it need to be run with &? [07:36] Parham have you run the self disk check on the boot screen? [07:36] nickrud, ugly or bad? It seems that for some it is bad, for other it is ugly. === weldan- is now known as weldan [07:36] Parham: do you have your learning cap on? [07:36] ... & sleep 5 && wine [07:36] Yes I have. Nothing comes up. [07:36] for five seconds assuming that is enough [07:36] I pressed enter on every option there. Only "Boot from the first harddisk" or something like that which is the last option works. [07:37] Felix_Krull pretty sure it's the ugly. [07:37] Flannel:: I'm not 100% sure if it ends...I don't think it does...if i type it in a terminal alone, i get a blinking cursor after instead of being dropped back to the command line [07:37] what r ur opinions about mac4lin? [07:37] Felix_Krull for mp3, that is [07:37] HRshovinstuff: is this WoW by any chance? [07:38] yes i already have it installed and working, but i made *.iso files from the dvds and even after mounting i still cannot see the executables /sigh [07:38] nickrud, But I can leave bad, since it is there? Sorry for asking stupid questions, but I read somewhere about collision between the two, and that some earlier Ubuntu used bad, and the other ugly. [07:38] HRshovinstuff: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft#head-b007bc282e242d30a96585fcaf17b378451cf9da see the fourth bullet point [07:39] Flannel: hey thanks ! [07:39] what r ur opinions about mac4lin? [07:39] I don't think the CD image is corrupted, though, but other than that, I don't know. [07:39] hey guys im trying to make a grub screen for my usb key. how do I make one? [07:39] Felix_Krull the bad are the ones that aren't very polished, as in written well. ugly are fine, but have licensing/patent issues, like mp3 [07:39] Flannel:: My script is still not doing what I want [07:40] Parham then you should check your download with md5sum [07:40] nickrud: So, to uninstall bad? [07:40] Parham if the other options don't run, its a bad download, or a bad disk burn [07:40] Flannel:: If I launch with my script, it's graphics are corrupted. If i type them by hand...in order (copy and paste from the script)....no corruption [07:40] how to call another computer [07:40] Felix_Krull your choice. I have them [07:40] dial its number [07:40] Nickrud: How can I check which one is the case? [07:41] call, like what? [07:41] !md5sum | Parham [07:41] Parham: To verify the integrity of a download, use the md5sum - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM for more [07:41] Simple question, if you choose TLS security in Evolution, is mail still sent on port 25? Or does it use another port for TLS encrypted connections? [07:41] Parham if the md5sum is good, then the disk is bad ;) [07:41] nickrud: Both? It doesn't matter? [07:41] hi everybody [07:42] nonix4:: the sleep is taking effect but it's not fixing my script how I hoped :( [07:42] tls, mua will connect to pop3 before smtp , something like that ? [07:42] Felix_Krull it doesn't matter. If you have any qualms, I'd remove both bad versions [07:42] chmac: does your outgoing email even use any form of authentication? [07:42] nonix4:: is "killall fusion-icon" the BEST way to _guarantee_ that process dies a horribly painful death? [07:42] nonix4: Yeah, it supports TLS encryption, but I'm not sure what port TLS encrypted mail is supposed to be sent on [07:42] Anyone know how I can start a second x session that runs xterm on start but uses a different xorg.conf? [07:42] ubunubi: -9 for horribly painful death [07:43] nonix4:: wouldn't I need to know the PID each time for that? [07:43] kill -9 PID number [07:43] nonix4: I maintain the mail server, so I might need to open some extra ports on the firewall :) [07:43] ubunubi: no, with killall you don't need the pid [07:43] nonix4:: so i can killall -9 fusion-icon ? [07:44] nickrud: Thank you so much! [07:44] working? [07:44] Flannel: hey thanks, that totally was the most simple stupid thing ever lol <---- feels like rtard [07:45] chmac: usually most email encryption things deal only with first hop & authentication for that - rest goes unencrypted [07:45] (well, pgp/mime & alike are end-to-end) [07:46] Heya. I have a problem. I try to start up Pidgin internet messenger and it is visible in the lower bar for a moment and then vanishes without starting. So I tried "pidgin -d" in terminal and error seems to be " main: exiting because another libpurple client is already running"... How do I fix this? [07:46] [GNOME] Why are there two desktop configuration files: /usr/share/app-install/desktop/Tunapie and /usr/share/applications/Tunapie) [07:46] hey ALL sorry, so with a microsoft laser 6000 keyboard with lots of bells and whistles how do i get the increase font decrease font size button to work? [07:46] [GNOME] Why are there two desktop configuration files: /usr/share/app-install/desktop/Tunapie and /usr/share/applications/Tunapie? [07:46] ciao ragazzi, ho comprato un asus eee pc e ci ho messo eeexubuntu [07:46] nonix4: I understand that. Do you know if email sent via SMTP + TLS is sent on port 25 or a different port? Like http is 80 but https is not... [07:46] va benissimo, l'unico problema che non si spegne [07:46] cm devo fare??? [07:47] bullgard4 I think the ones in /usr/share/applications are the for the menu, the other is for add/remove [07:47] elo [07:47] chmac: the answer is: it depends - after http people decided it would be better to just use the same port... [07:47] !it | alberto [07:47] alberto: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! [07:47] nickrud: Ah! [07:47] http://www.funny-games.biz/tortue-game.html [07:47] which file makes exaile run? [07:47] nn lo trovo ubuntu-it [07:48] chmac: but there are ports that are used for several ssl email protocols, some of the time - check /etc/services [07:48] nonix4: Ok, cool, so it can work on the same port, that's probably why my mail can't send, ISP blocks port 25, bah :( [07:48] ssmtp 465/tcp smtps # SMTP over SSL [07:48] revilodraw, sound & video, you'll see Exaile if you installed it correctly, ie sudo apt-get install exaile [07:49] bullgard4 yes, dpkg -S clears that up [07:49] chmac: well when ISP blocks port 25 they usually supply an smtp server you're supposed to use as the first hop... [07:49] nickrud: I do not understand " yes, dpkg -S clears that up". Please elaborate. [07:50] nonix4: I know, I travel a lot though, so I prefer to use my own smtp server, authenticated [07:50] nonix4: Which also matches my SPF record, etc [07:50] Any nmap experts out there??? [07:50] bullgard4 dpkg -S /path/to/file says what package a file belongs to. I did a check on applications/yelp.desktop, says it's in yelp (actually, I already knew what applications was for, just needed to check app-install) [07:50] nonix4: I typically wrap evolution in a tsocks tunnel, but I'm looking at alternatives to that, looks like the port 25 issue won't go away any time soon :) [07:50] chmac: the percentage of ISPs blocking port 25 is high - your best bet is proper hosting service [07:50] NullNam1: an expert would be? [07:51] Thanks [07:51] chmac you can always select a port ... [07:51] nonix4: What do you mean by "proper hosting service" ? [07:51] * Parham wavies. [07:51] bullgard4, also if you type whereis name_of_application it will give you its location [07:51] tenX: Someone who knows how to scan all 65535 ports on UDP and TCP at once while still using the -A option. [07:51] Parham you found the fix? [07:51] HardDisk: i have exaile, i want to know where to post 'exaile --no-equalizer' to make it startup with the equalizer disabled [07:51] s/fix/problem/ [07:51] Am looking. My screen reader is jibbering wildly while I'm in the IRC so I have to quit. Hehe. [07:51] nickrud: Yeah, I could probably map another port to 25 on my server's firewall... [07:51] weldan, http://ardhian.wordpress.com/2007/06/09/bikin-repositori-lokal-ubuntu-dari-dvd-repo/ [07:52] chmac: have an email server running at a hosting service, tunnel to that way or another [07:52] is it make any sense [07:52] chmac or tell the server to use a different port, I use 587 to connect to my remote server [07:52] do you agree with it ? [07:52] chmac: at our office mail server, they're using port 587 port smtp [07:52] revilodraw, you can create a link on your desktop OR if you want to modify the main link, right click on applications, edit menu go to the location of sound & video, and edit the properties there [07:52] tenX: Any ideas? [07:52] I could do md5sum with Cygwin though, so the only thing left is to compare the two and see if anything is wrong. [07:52] and tls enabled [07:52] HardDisk: "detlef@MD97600:~$ whereis Tunapie; Tunapie:" (empty) [07:53] bullgard4, is it run with a T? or t [07:53] chmac: but you said you already have such a server somewhere? Try port 465? [07:53] bullgard4, whereis works best if you do sudo updatedb and that the application is installed via deb or repositories [07:53] weldan:: one more scripting question. if I have a program that doesn't terminate, but I want to close the terminal window without it killing the process...what symbol can I use? [07:53] HardDisk: In both direcotries Tunapie is displayes with a capital first letter. [07:54] bullgard4, I didn't say folder, I meant the actual application [07:54] off [07:54] ubunubi run ps -ef and get the process id, then use nohup pid to allow it to continue [07:54] dns53:: is there a cleaner way? [07:54] nonix4: I admin my own mailserver. Postfix is running but doesn't respond on port 465 [07:55] bullgard4 you need to look inside the file to see what the executable is, exec= is what you look for [07:55] ubunubi, I prefer the ps -x but dns53's line is the same, it's all about getting the PID [07:55] HardDisk: All my applications on this computer are installed via Ubuntu repositories. This morning at 07:35 local time my computer did automatically run 'updatedb'. [07:55] nickrud, weldan: Is port 587 significant, or just chosen at random? [07:55] Anyone know why Ubuntu won't allow me to resize my windows parition? [07:55] bullgard4, I missed what the problem you are having exactly. [07:55] hey all, currnetly dual booting with xp, and xp is the first boot option, how do i change this? [07:56] !grub [07:56] 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 [07:56] tofaffy, you have to unmount a partition to resize it. [07:56] ubunubi you can ctrl z then bg, but that will die when the shell dies, you can execute it with & at the end to do something similar [07:56] chmac: Hmm... you could check which ports you're listening to... also check out the ssmtp package [07:56] chmac my home port was blocked on 25, and a remote mail server I was using used that. I just picked it up. [07:56] HardDisk: Why are there two desktop configuration files: /usr/share/app-install/desktop/Tunapie and /usr/share/applications/Tunapie? [07:56] Well...I was booted in a live cd. why would it have mounted it? [07:56] dns53:: i'm trying to put it in the bg with &, but also want it to NOT die with the terminal closing [07:56] moDumass, sudo apt-get install startupmanager [07:57] installing grub to usb drive, how do i do it? [07:57] moDumass, then it will be available for you in administration and you can edit it. [07:57] dns53: how do i parse out only the PID out of the ps -ef output? in a format that i can redirect into the nohup [07:57] ubunubi you therfore need to use nohup, this sets a bit on the process to not die when the parent shell dies [07:57] awesome thanks [07:57] Is there a painless way to configure sendmail for Ubuntu? [07:57] bullgard4, one is the link one is the location of the binary. [07:57] thanks HArdDisk [07:57] nonix4: How do I check which ports I'm listening to? [07:57] for some reason my alt and tab don't work [07:57] nor my shift key [07:57] !sendmail [07:57] Factoid sendmail not found [07:57] hmmm... somethin's fishy with my comp [07:58] hmm ok nvm :) [07:58] can i use this to remove the 20 or so other boot options i have from prev distro updates [07:58] i can't open a temrinal.. [07:58] it auto closes [07:58] chmac: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2476.txt [07:58] Bilge, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=196112 [07:59] Ok, port 587 is an alternative to 25 according to RFC 2476 apparently :) [07:59] afallenhope, hello again :) [07:59] chmac: suggestion: netstat -a | less [07:59] nvm :) [07:59] dns53: how do i parse out only the PID out of the ps -ef output? in a format that i can redirect into the nohup? sorry if this is asking too much of your time [07:59] Intrepid: netstat, that's the one, thanks :) [07:59] ubunubi something like ps -ef|grep firefox |grep -v grep|awk '{print $2}'|nohup i have not tested it [07:59] ubunubi, I told you ps -x | grep nameofapp [08:00] Hello everyone. When I try to install my Ubuntu, I get: ata1.00: status: { DRDY ERR } [08:00] Harddisk:: Sorry I had missed it. My eyes were scanning for dns's name! [08:00] dns53, too long [08:00] nickrud: The starter in both files is the same: 'tunapie'. So it does not help to differentiate between the two files (and the two directories in general). [08:00] Does anyone know what that means? [08:00] airstrikeivanov:: what motherboard do you have? [08:00] ubunubi, all you need is that short line I posted. [08:00] Don't know [08:00] It's a pre-manufactured Dell Inspiron [08:00] HardDisk maybe, btw you may need to add xargs and call nohup [08:00] bullgard4 dpkg -S does that. By telling you which package a file belongs to. The package determines function [08:01] dns53, why? [08:01] I'm on an incredibly old 7.04 harddisk I have backed up right now [08:01] airstrikeivanov: are you booting the liveCD...or directly into the install? or already installed but won't boot? [08:01] bullgard4 and /usr/share/applications is defined by the freedesktop standard as the place to put menu entries [08:01] I'm booting Ubuntu Server [08:01] Nothing is installed on the hard disk, save Windows, which I have no desire to keep [08:01] airstrikeivanov, I would do a HD physical check. [08:01] HardDisk well does nohup read stdin or do you need to provide it as an argument? [08:01] morning guys, i have the boot hanging with a black screen need to restart several times before ubuntu starts the X, any idea where to look for what is causing it? [08:01] Hi again! [08:02] airstrikeivanov: but are you trying to use the liveCD portion to try it out..or are you wanting to intsall? [08:02] No, it's all a text-based installer [08:02] dns53, I am not sure to be quite honest. [08:02] airstrikeivanov: what more can you ask for? [08:02] airstrikeivanov: do you know how to add kernal boot parameters? [08:02] I checked the md5sum. The hashes differ, and they differ a lot. Is there a way to repair the different parts or I have to redownload the whole file again? [08:02] ubunubi: I don't. [08:02] airstrikeivanov, as I mentioned I would do a HD check if I were you. [08:02] chmac: netstat -an; lsof -i # you might want to check out postfix TLS docs, http://www.postfix.org/TLS_README.html [08:03] I did, the disk is just fine [08:03] It was working until after I tried to partition in the UbuntuServer installer [08:03] what significance does ~/.gvfs have? My rsync based backup script complains about not being able to read it. [08:03] airstrikeivanov, also you may have shutdown windows incorrectly, hence a dirty unmount. [08:03] The first format worked, but when I had to reboot and try it again, it stopped working. [08:03] airstrikeivanov: when you're at the screen that loads soon as the CD launches, move the highlighted bar down to the install option..and you should see an editable text line under that [08:03] bullgard4 for the /usr/share/applications, http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/menu-spec-1.0.html#paths [08:03] it shows up in mtab as used by gvfs-fuse-daemon [08:03] darrend, .gvfs is your nautilus interface [08:03] Parham redownload [08:03] Yeah, the F6 text-line [08:03] I've seen it [08:04] HardDisk: tried that, but when exai;e runs on startup it doesnt run with the equalizer disabled... i have edited it in 'sessions' too... [08:04] Thanks. [08:04] HardDisk: thx - why would rsnapshot be unable to read it suddenly? [08:04] revilodraw, sessions doesn't work that way. [08:04] airstrikeivanov: you want to add "all_generic_ide" to the end of the boot parameters [08:04] Okay [08:04] Let me go try that! [08:04] HardDisk: I've run rsnapshot for months, this started happening yesterday [08:04] darrend, not sure about that question though [08:04] Be back in a bit. [08:04] airstrikeivanov: is F6 a new us airplane threatening the rest of the world? [08:04] wait ubunubi [08:04] HardDisk: ok, thx. [08:04] mmm === markito is now known as srinux [08:04] He left before my further advice [08:05] HardDisk with this StartUp Manager the resolution selection doesnt include my current resolution [08:05] the all_generic_ide is usually my first answer :) but his case may need to unmount his drive first correctly [08:05] and remove the quite splash -- [08:05] moDumass, that only modifies the startup parts, it doesn't touch your Gnome [08:05] I'm trying to install something VIA terminal and it's popping up "checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables" as an error. Any help? [08:05] tenX: Negative. The F6 is an RAF supersonic interceptor, introduced 1959. [08:06] HardDisk: cani pm you a screenshot to show u? [08:06] andrew__: sudo apt-get install build-essential [08:06] awesome [08:06] thanls [08:06] HardDisk do you know of a short doc describing .gvfs ? [08:06] HardDisk: I had the same error he did. First I did ACPI=OFF..and it worked..but i wanted ACPI..found IRQPOLL alone worked but has a performance hit..tried alL_generic_ide by itself..and worked beautifully with ACPI operational and not needing the performance hit of IRQPOLL [08:06] HardDisk: mc does not indicate that one of the two files tunapie.desktop is a link. [08:06] ubunubi, problem he left and didn't get info on his board. [08:06] yeah :( [08:06] revilodraw, sure [08:07] nickrud, I can check for you [08:07] HardDisk I can probably find one. I was hoping that you had a clue already ;) [08:07] HardDisk: AFAIK attempting to boot with that option can cause no harm, he has no data on the disk (and even if he did it would be very unlikely if not impossible for it to corrupt it) [08:07] nonix4: Sweet, thanks for that link :) [08:07] bullgard4, I assume, since not all applications are identically the same way of how they are located. [08:07] ubunubi, no no harm at all whatsoever. [08:07] ubunubi, you were right to give that advice [08:08] HardDisk, will I still have the option to boot into windows if i have to? [08:08] moDumass, yes you just want to arrange the order, or change which starts default [08:08] hi guys, which log except for boot and messages would reflect problems at boot time? [08:08] coolya, thanks [08:08] moDumass, basically it's like changing the boot.ini file in windows [08:09] nickrud, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GnomeVFS :) [08:09] rflol [08:09] HardDisk: ive sent it.. [08:09] nickrud, check this too blogs.gnome.org/alexl/2007/07/20/gvfs-presentation-slides [08:09] HardDisk, sweet, will I still have the option to go to windows before coming into linux, or do i need to load int linux and change default boot option first [08:10] ah, now that looks good [08:10] Okay. Getting build-essential helped, but it still won't create the make-file correctly. [08:10] revilodraw, I didn't receive anything, unfortunately I only receive pm's from registered users. [08:10] Intrepid: we're all making fun of former ridiculous governmental strivings.. nowadays any modern non-free government, once in charge could perferctly change constitutions, survey the people and establish their own point of view. modern technology will help to establish it all [08:10] revilodraw, too many spammers :) you understand.

[08:14] mindframe_ dpkg --get-selections > file [08:14] dns53, read: previous installation [08:14] i only have a backup of it [08:14] revilodraw: and yes, do pm it [08:14] HardDisk: I read your message: "I assume, since not all applications are identically the same way of how they are located." but I do not understand if there is any meaningful contents in it. Please say it in other words. [08:14] ok then dpkg --set-selections < file [08:14] My hard disk still doesn't boot [08:15] dns53, but i never did --get-selections > file === mindframe_ is now known as mindframe [08:15] silly mindframe_ :) [08:15] bullgard4, I mean, different applications are located differently. [08:15] Anyone know what the default path for ALSA is? [08:15] mindframe so do you still have that partition? [08:15] dns53, yes [08:16] Does anyone know how to fix the error: ata1.00: status: { DRDY ERR } / ata1.00: error: { UNC } [08:16] i suppose i could boot off of it but i really wanted to know where the package information is stored so i could grepgrepgrep it [08:16] mindframe you can grep over /var/lib/dpkg/status in the backup [08:16] hello [08:16] airstrikeivanov: did the all_generic_ide not work for you? [08:16] mindframe ok you can chroot into that partition, run get-selections and then apply that to your current install [08:16] oh i forgot about chroot [08:16] <- sleepy [08:17] ubunubi: There was already a long line of text including a ubuntu-server.seed file, and a "quiet" parameter, all_generic_ide didn't work, and neither did +boot all_generic_ide [08:17] airstrikeivanov, you are 100% you did a physical check? === Prexide is now known as justanotherday [08:17] HardDisk: I did, the drive still reads just fine by the BIOS, it just finds no active partitions [08:18] hello [08:18] matrix hello matrix [08:18] how can i install firebird2-super-server (1.5.3.4870-10) on ubuntu?

[08:20] no my system ubuntu-server [08:21] matrix did the previous versions of ubuntu have the version you want? it may be possible (not recommended) to use an older version of the package [08:22] I suppose getting the proprietary driver back in place should do it, right? [08:23] HardDisk: I still can't PM...but I need assistance with this script syntax. would i:: appname & THEN nohup 'ps -x |grep appname" ...or do does the nohup launch it AND set the bit?

[08:26] dns53: Is this safe entry based on the previous working config, or is it a default setup (640x480 etc)? === Webspot_ is now known as Webspot [08:26] bullgard4, not familiar with Tunapie sorry.

If you do not know Tunapie, you still could answer my question if you were knowledgeable enough. [08:36] Ubuntu does not comply to http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/menu-spec-1.0.html [08:37] dns3: just choose different choices and click on test? [08:37] nickrud: Ubuntu does not comply to http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/menu-spec-1.0.html [08:37] bullgard4, as I said, different applications install differently, as far as tunapie all I know is that the location of the application resides in /usr/share/tunapie/ , I am a volunteer like anyone else, I'm not a guru, thank you. [08:37] if any cmus users are here.. is it possible to remove duplicate tracks from a playlist? [08:37] bullgard4: what are those standards about?

[08:39] HardDisk: it just happened i didnt mean to offend [08:40] mohadib: it probably will be regarded as an offense in most appearences :( depends on who you talk to i guess.. [08:40] So I'm running off of the liveboot ubuntu CD, and my wireless driver seems to be working (It's an atheros ar5006EG driver). Does this mean that if I reformat my computer and install Ubuntu instead of Windows XP, my wireless will work for sure? [08:40] tenX this isn't a discussion or channel to troll in. [08:40] Does anyone know if it's possible for Windows to put its swap/paging file on the same partition as the Linux swap partition? [08:40] personally I don't care, I just don't want an op to catch you. [08:41] dpince: there will be no general assurance i guess but with atheros chipsets on wlan you can be quiete sure to have linux support [08:41] my pc used to use alsa in gutsy but now it only uses oss, is me running off wubi possibly causing this? [08:41] hi, does anyone know how I can download a video off youtube? [08:41] I'm setting up a multi-boot system, and I'd like to share resources as much as possible [08:41] Zoidfarb, don't do that. [08:41] Zoidfarb no, they are different [08:41] hydrbyz, youtube-dl [08:41] HardDisk: you seemd like one [08:41] bazhang_: thanks [08:41] Starnestommy: I tend to believe you. A rather impeccable jungle for me. [08:41] !info youtube-dl | hydrbyz [08:41] hydrbyz, www.keepvid.com [08:41] hydrbyz: youtube-dl (source: youtube-dl): download videos from youtube.com. In component universe, is extra. Version 2008.01.24-1 (hardy), package size 7 kB, installed size 64 kB [08:41] tenX, I'm tolerate :) [08:42] harddisk:: I need to pick you brain once more. My script..if I do everything manually (that's in the script)...my program runs fine..when i run it as a script...I get screen corruption....any ideas? [08:42] HardDisk, why is that a bad idea? Are the file systems incompatible? [08:42] Zoidfarb, totally :) [08:42] HardDisk: judging by preceding events i dont know where to put it all [08:43] ubunubi, screen corruption...? [08:43] TenX: I'm getting a proprietary driver warning for my atheros wireless drivers. It's difficult for me to hardwire into my router, so wireless is pretty much required if I reformat to Ubuntu. Basically is the wireless works out of the box from the liveboot, does that mean it will work out of the box if I do a full reformat/install? [08:43] HardDisk: Uhm, yes, but within the program I launched, not my desktop [08:43] HardDisk, grr, then I need to not only give Windows enough space on the primary partition for the paging file, I need to have a separate (basically unused) swap partition for Linux. Any suggestions? [08:44] dpince: nobody will ever guarentee you anything on that open source base [08:44] dpince, if you're using a restricted driver, it will likely work fine [08:44] Zoidfarb, use as little swap you need, eg for linux 1.5gb is more than enough, you can go with 1GB if you must providing enough ram is available. [08:44] whats the sudo apt-get command thing for Terminal? [08:44] bullgard4 in what way? [08:44] dpince: but personally i am convinced that atheros is the best wifi choice you can take by experience [08:45] ubunubi, what is the error message? [08:45] Pdavey, its how to install or remove software packages [08:45] HardDisk: no error msg. just visual artifacts [08:45] dpince: afaik there's even kernel support nowadays, and even distros support madwifi [08:45] ubunubi, may I ask the nature of your script? [08:45] just a quick reminder to everyone, this is Ubuntu Support channel, we'd like you to keep the issues, questions and discussions to problems and questions relating directly to Ubuntu and the software available for it, and so on. for other issues, see !offtopic [08:45] bazhang_: what is the correct wording for terminal? [08:45] dpince: at least you can simply compile and integrate madwifi from svn into your running system [08:45] ubunubi use pastebin and let us see the whole thing [08:46] Pdavey, you want to install it? it is already there (gnome-terminal) [08:46] pdavey, "sudo apt-get install " [08:46] dpince: still think that will probably not be needed anymore nowadays (deprecated) [08:46] tenX: Fair enough, I'm not looking for any guarantees or anything I just would like access to the internet after installing ubuntu so that I can have resources at my disposal for getting everything else up and running. [08:47] dpince: accessing the internet sounds like you have no idea of basic settings for that [08:47] dpince, can you access the internet while running off the live CD? [08:47] dpince, know that your atheros is capable of supporting multiple access points from your one chip. That's what makes it good, so install ubuntu and any trouble we're here. [08:47] dpince: not meant as an offence.. [08:47] Yea, I am extremely new to linux. [08:47] dpince, may I suggest some guides? [08:47] And yes, internet access works from the liveboot.

[08:48] dpince: basic network knowledge is platform independant [08:48] dpince, if it works from the live boot, it will almost certainly work on a real install [08:48] tenX, be nice. [08:49] Ok, well what Zoid said is exactly what I was looking for [08:49] Zoidfarb: what do you mean? [08:49] tenX, "basic network knowledge is platform independant", let's not get snarky here. = ) [08:49] I've read numerous posts in lots of forums expressing trouble with certain wireless drivers in ubuntu, and my atheros driver was one of them. [08:49] Zoidfarb: well a few minutes ago I installed the flashplugin-nonfree from the Internet. Only that the plugin doesn't appear in Firefox and I thought I had to install the package from Terminal? Which I tried but didn't do anything. [08:49] Was just making sure that, since mine works on the live CD, it will work from a full install. [08:49] kann i delete without any prolem pulseaudio? [08:49] Zoidfarb: that was some non-offensive information [08:49] ok this time I'm taking a break didn't take one last time. bbiab [08:50] dpince, sometimes you'll run into stuff that DOESN'T work on the live CD, that DOES work on a full install. But I've never seen the reverse [08:50] *can [08:50] Harddisk && dns53 :: give me one sec, pastebin isn't loading for me [08:50] Zoidfarb: the truth may be hard at times [08:50] Helllo, pidgin constantly loses connection here, says connection reset by peer.anybodys got a clue? [08:50] I have latest version [08:51] persi, are you behind any kind of router/hardware firewall? [08:51] I'm trying to remove mysql-server because the install didn't run correctly but now it doesn't want to be removed because it trys to start mysql-server when removing it .. it think its still trying to install the package because it failed halfway. Anyway around this? [08:51] Varan, have you tried purge instead of remove? [08:51] yes === tolecnal_ is now known as tolecnal [08:51] same result [08:51] hey I'm having an issue when I typesudo insmod /lib/modules/`uname -r`/extra/ov51x-jpeg.ko I get no file or directory [08:51] I`m in a LAN that might have some kind of firewall, but it doesnt affect other programs [08:51] I mean, ICQ clients [08:52] i tryed to remove /etc/mysql [08:52] didn't help [08:52] insmod: can't read '/lib/modules/2.6.24-18-generic/extra/ov51x-jpeg.ko': No such file or directory [08:52] Veran, that's it for my ideas. Maybe kill any mysql instances that are running? [08:52] it askes for a new password for the database [08:52] there is none running [08:52] because i have no correct database files [08:52] Hi i have a HP LJ 1020 USB printer, How to setup this printer? [08:52] tenX, I don't think this is a basic networking issue, all I really asked was the simple question of "This driver works for me when I'm using the liveCD. Does that mean it will work with a full install?" Zoid answered my question, so I'm going to install ubuntu now. I'm sure I'll be back with other questions later on! [08:52] open up another terminal and kill its pid number === FriedCPU is now known as FRiEd|BnC [08:53] i tryed to move the database files. But it would not load after that i did a complete remove and installed again [08:53] dpince: alright i hope it works for you [08:53] maache, HP are very well supported; have you tried plugging it in? [08:53] Harddisk && dns53 :: http://pastebin.ca/1047567 [08:53] and it installed the database in the place where i was trying to put it === glenn is now known as Guest87193 [08:53] so not the default /var/lib/mysql [08:53] Varan wow, you've really messed around ;) [08:53] dont know why... but it failed at that [08:54] yes :P [08:54] i searched on the inet how to move the files ... and did it correctly ... but mysql would not start [08:54] Varan do sudo apt-get remove --purge mysql-server-5.0 , and put the results on paste.ubuntu.com [08:54] claiming the permissiosn where wrong [08:54] Harddisk && dns53 :: the script is RUNNING fine. It's doing everything I want..but when I use the script for the launch...I get the visual artifacts, versus manually running the same commands [08:55] Zoidfarb: well a few minutes ago I installed the flashplugin-nonfree from the Internet. Only that the plugin doesn't appear in Firefox and I thought I had to install the package from Terminal? Which I tried but didn't do anything. [08:55] is it ok to install esound on ubuntu 8.04? [08:55] dpince: but my basic line was that nobody can gurantee everything working right off from some damn colorful surface (excuse me, 16 color fan). from my experience your wlan device will work right off with a modern ubuntu distro (especially with an ath chipset) right off [08:55] nickrud: works now! ... i tryed apt-get purge instead of remove --purge [08:56] maache: http://openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=HP-LaserJet_1020 [08:56] tenX, he left [08:56] does this remove all the config files?

[10:29] alcor: go ahead. we're tired. don't forget to keep your windoze cd ready [10:29] no, i was doing a clean xp install, and then the xp disc decided to stop working [10:30] will using pvcreate wipe the data on a device that has been setup with LVM previously?

[10:58] silverblade: you would need to look in the log file to find out what hallened also need to know what you installed/removed and what version of ubuntu and what type of upgrade you did [10:59] gnomefreak, the alt cd isn't handy, and we don't want to mess with a known working system. We just want to get "apt-get" and synaptic working with a repo. [10:59] silverblade: part of the update is for xserver...check /var/log/Xorg0.log [10:59] gnomefreak: I got a message saying updates had been installed and a reboot was needed. [10:59] It's a Hardy install. [10:59] umm [10:59] what's ubuntu? [10:59] hi there, have a 8.04 ltsp server, works great, now trying to move the dhcp to my debian gateway, copied over the same config from the ltsp and added the next-server option, but my clients won't boot anymore, clients are getting ip but when they try to connect to tftp they freak out. All i'm getting in the logs is this "in.tftpd[6822]: tftp: client does not accept options" any idea what could be wrong ? [11:00] silverblade: what version of ubuntu does it show in your /etc/apt/sources.list file [11:00] gnomefreak, The 'Filesystem' item in Places menu has gone without any reason as i clicked on it(i was using it before successfully), but it is still displayed in Nautilus (places), how comes and how to fix that? [11:00] one sec [11:00] !ubuntu > Dor (please see your pm) [11:00] !ubuntu | Dor [11:00] Dor: Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com [11:00] Hmm it seems to load my desktop and the panels, then it goes grey [11:00] can anyone help me set-up the xorg.conf file? Mine was lost after hardy upgrade... [11:00] thanks gnomefreak :P [11:00] icqnumber: try killall gnome-panel see if they come back [11:00] what do you guys use for creating video dvds? is there just one app that I could use from encoding to burning? [11:01] silverblade: u have nvidia or ati? [11:01] hey i'm trying to install from the alternate install disk but it doesn't take me to the install menu i get a busy box caled initramfs... what gives?> [11:01] ati. [11:01] nothing relevant in the xorg.log - seems normal [11:01] if i alt+tab theres 2 apps running, but neither have titles [11:01] gnomefreak, no it does not and restart does not too [11:02] icqnumber: do you have ubuntu-desktop installed? [11:02] silverblade: restart X only w/ ctrl-alt-backspc [11:02] tech0007: tried. [11:02] takes me to login prompt. [11:02] I can log in but then the same happens. [11:02] gnomefreak, yep, ubuntu installed [11:02] tech0007: really should only use /etc/init.d/gdm restart ctrl+alt+backspace is barbaric way of doing it [11:02] after the login prompts disappear, the screen goes black but pointer is still there, then it goes grey, i see my desktop for a split second then it goes. [11:03] icqnumber: what were the updates? [11:03] silverblade: backup your xorg.conf, then temporarily change ur driver to vesa, see if that works [11:03] gnomefreak: thanks [11:03] wouldnt think it would since i can get into X for the login... but will try [11:03] icqnumber: /var/log/dist-upgrade wight have the info in the files in there [11:03] gratefulfrog, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [11:04] so anyone got an idea why the alternate cd would dump me to a shell rather than doing the install? [11:04] gnomefreak, have you abandoned me? [11:04] tech0007: ok that worked, strangly [11:04] silverblade: if you are seeing gdm most likely not an X issue but an install issue something like it cant load compiz so wont load anything or whatever it might be [11:04] n2diy: no [11:04] gnomefreak, it did happen on the clean 8.04 [11:04] silverblade: ok now try configuring X again [11:04] icqnumber: thanks, but I tried that, but it only created a shell of the xorg.conf, no details are in it like screen res, etc. [11:04] how to call another computer [11:05] tech0007: as in, go back in and change driver back? [11:05] silverblade: nope..try the gui..wait.. [11:05] hello anyone install ubuntu on a powerpc, i got it installed but it gets to the boot prompt to press L for linux, and after I do that nothing happens other than a blank screen [11:05] gnomefreak, ok, my lawyer is dissapointed! :) [11:05] would really appreciate some help [11:05] gratefulfrog, it is a shell wizzard where you can set up your graphic card, and the keyboard [11:06] silverblade: its somewhere in system menu..cant remember atm [11:06] !patience | n2diy [11:06] n2diy: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that.

[11:14] [Question] I'm assuming so...but I want to make sure :: Does Hardy have any issues mounting an Extended (versus primary) ext3 partition? [11:14] l2s: sort of yes [11:14] l2s: its supported but the ISOs have moved to "port" [11:14] do you know what i can type at the boot: to get it to boot [11:14] gnomefreak, understood. But this box is on death row now. I gave up supporting Debian for Ubuntu, and now that I need Ubuntu I'm told to go to Debian!? [11:15] Er, re-arrange, that.....Hardy doesn't have any issues mounting an "extended" (vs primary) partition as long as it has a valid FS? [11:15] Hi :) [11:15] is there some kind of flag i have to set to get it to boot [11:15] gnomefreak, do not you have this item? i have in places menu items like Desktop, Computer, list off all drives and and i have 'File System' too [11:15] n2diy: your using a debian repo that is for debian or #ubuntu-offtopic due to what can happen oh and brezzy isnt supported anylonger [11:15] tech0007, those are the files on windows http://paste.ubuntu.com/20106/ I'm sure they are saving on ubuntu too but I can't find them [11:15] gnomefreak, do not you have it? [11:15] icqnumber: no and i bet not many others do either [11:16] hi [11:16] icqnumber: you might beablet o add it in gconf but i highly doubt it will work if tried [11:16] gnomefreak, do you have this items in nautilus? [11:16] I have a problem with stardict dictionaries [11:16] it says : HTML data parsing plug-in is not found! [11:16] icqnumber: did you try computer? [11:17] gnomefreak, 'computer' is shown and it has 'File System' and all other drives [11:17] mmmk guess nobody can answer me :P [11:17] ?? [11:17] icqnumber: go to Places >Computer and chos file system from there and maybe save it to places IIRC this is possible since i had my ssh session there [11:18] icqnumber: that is where File System is now not in top level Places menu [11:18] gnomefreak, why does my places menu look different in nautilus and in gnome-panel? [11:18] b33r: from which site are you playin these files [11:18] gnomefreak, all I'm asking is how to get apt-get to play with the Depian repo. If I could use it, I wouldn't be here. Thanks anyway. [11:18] tech0007, what difference does it make? :/ [11:18] b33r: youtube videos are cached in /tmp...that i know [11:19] icqnumber: i dont know [11:19] n2diy, my advice is to install debian then even in a virtualbox [11:19] gnomefreak, where in gconf can i edit places menu! what is what i want to know [11:20] icqnumber: the reason it is in file browser is because that is where it can be found at [11:20] n2diy, there is a reason we don't use the debian repositories, even though ubuntu is *based* on debian, there are many things that are different. [11:20] HardDisk, why? I have a working Breezy box now! I jus want to get to some repos? [11:20] icqnumber: off hand not sure you would have to look [11:20] b33r: check your firefox cache ~/.mozila/firefox/*.default/Cache [11:20] hello is there a way to download dailymotion videos? [11:20] ok sec [11:20] n2diy, please don't continue this matter here, if you wish take it to #ubuntu-offtopic [11:20] icqnumber: drag and drop filesystem into the 2nd se4ction of nautilus maybe than it will show up [11:20] hydrbyz: keepvid.com [11:21] jrid: thanks [11:21] could someone help me rescue my ubuntu install? [11:21] gnomefreak, as said in doc on the gnomes pages, places menu lists all hadr drives, so / called 'Filesystem must be there too [11:21] n2diy, experimenting is not a bad thing, but we help people who install ubuntu and wish proper ubuntu assistance, modding and other sorts that is a matter you should take into your own hands.

[11:53] ubunubi, basically to apply that patch you would first need the pysdm source code (available from their site)... then you would download, extract the source code, download the patch file, and then apply the patch file using "patch -p0 can every one tell how can install Bluefish unstable 1.1.6 on ubuntu?

[11:56] zvacet: try gksu [11:56] yes [11:56] ubunubi, using the method I have outlined, you would need to uninstall the repo version, patch the source as described above, and then compile your source code... not having the program installed, i couldn't really help you with manually patching the repo version, although looking at the patch file, it doesn't look too hard ;) :S [11:56] zvacet: that worked for me [11:56] anyone :) [11:56] it's a bug?? [11:56] njero: sorry about the initial confusion!! be very verbose in this channel when you can :) helps us keep track of multiple convs! [11:56] can someone help me? 7.10. at boot, before init starts, kernel tries to do something with my unpartitioned "sda1" space, which is a bad hdd with bad sektors, but sda2 works after the unallocated space. kernel tries to do something with it until 2 minutes when it gives up and init starts. this makes the boot process 2 minute longer. this is very annoying. I want somehow set up the kernel to give up trying after 6 seconds. my kernel log is at htt [11:56] p://pastebin.com/d6aa60660 you can see the error at line 519 and below. it is repetative. how can i set my kernel to give up trying this after 6 seconds instead of 2 minutes? please note: I don't mind if bad sektors will some day eat up my whole hdd. no problem if all data will be lost on sda. please don't remind me that my hdd is shit and i should go and buy a new one. [11:57] tech0007 : tnx now I know one more [11:57] ubunubi, i think you would just need to use -p2 and find the file fstab.py, but i'm not sure if taht's recommended / safe [11:57] What are some good networking applications in linux ?? [11:57] Rocko to do what exactly? [11:57] how do i open the file browser with root access? [11:57] FreeNod1: sorry, i'm using kde. using kde it works :) [11:58] ok [11:58] no problem [11:58] Rocko, nmap for example.

[11:58] That is good for doing trace routes pinging etc [11:58] Rocko use the bash terminal [11:58] Rocko, you can do that from system/administration/Network Tools [11:58] I think now the apt-get is working [11:59] zyx386, you would need to download the source from http://www.bennewitz.com/bluefish/devel/source/ and then compile it yourself [11:59] awesome, thanks dynamethod [11:59] np [11:59] for those who read my above question, the link is http://pastebin.com/d6aa60660 [11:59] Dusty081 : you solve it then [11:59] MatthewV, thanx but how can i compile === mez is now known as Mez|DPC [11:59] !compile | zyx386 [11:59] zyx386: Compiling software from source?

[12:02] ubunubi, i would copy the file /usr/share/pysdm/fstab.py to somewhere you can work on it... (home folder, for instance)... download the patch file and place it in the same directory as fstab.py, and then run the command (in terminal) "patch -p2 can someone help me? my detailed question is at: http://pastebin.com/f2b6d675 [12:02] (sorry it's too long) [12:03] ubunubi, if that works alright, you can backup the original /usr/share/pysdm/fstab.py, and then copy your version over (eg "sudo cp fstab.py /usr/share/pysdm/fstab.py") [12:03] hi there [12:03] i compiled ur mother [12:03] oh the jokes. :D [12:03] I want to provide internet for my communicator through Wi-Fi.

[12:05] ActionParsnip, dynamethod: ok, thanks, I will google [12:06] unimatrix9, for the moment, it's best to stick with Alsa. [12:06] EugZol_ here you go: http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/networking/homegateway.html [12:06] unimatrix9, even though pulse is fine on most systems, some people have had issues, it will be resolved in 8.04.1 update. [12:06] i might just click the xchat tray button all day, its 3D feature is a RAVE [12:06] HardDisk: when is 8.04.1 due? [12:06] can you install rpm files with ubuntu / [12:07] tech0007, I believe sometime in July. [12:07] Rocko, you just use alien to convert the RPM to .deb [12:07] !alien | Rocko [12:07] Rocko: 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) [12:07] ubunubi: that sum checked out... saved me three days, thanks! [12:07] now to figure out what happened to my burn! [12:07] Rocko, you can convert with alien, but it is recommended to always use a deb format first before you do. [12:07] njero: great! good luck [12:08] ok thanks. [12:08] i want to install nmap [12:08] Rocko sudo apt-get install nmap [12:08] Rocko, mind you rpm's were packaged for a different distribution, so try to find a deb format first, because sometimes it may break something. [12:08] ok [12:08] Anyone have link on setting up your own package... so someone could add your source and then sudo apt-get myapp [12:08] bye [12:08] *sudo apt-get install myapp [12:08] hello, I cannot connect my USB flash drive or external USB disk drive [12:08] Rocko: nmap is in the repo [12:09] njero, you may want to start looking at www.launchpad.net [12:09] repo / [12:09] njero, in order to add your application it has to be "approved" [12:09] HardDisk: thanks will do [12:09] njero, so go to that site and learn about it. [12:09] !packaging > njero (read the private message from ubottu) [12:09] Rocko, just type this into terminal: sudo apt-get install nmap [12:09] !ppa > njero (read the private message from ubottu) [12:09] matthewv: would a reboot be necessary for it to take effect after copying the patched file back to /usr/yaddayadda ? [12:10] njero, that's if you want it in the original repo's, but you can have your own repository via launchpad and ppa. [12:10] as jrib pointed out. [12:10] ubunubi, shouldn't be, should just need to restart the app [12:10] Aha, perfect [12:10] Hi, I'm having problems getting my wireless working.

[12:12] !Atheros | erland [12:12] erland: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [12:12] ok MatthewV [12:12] HardDisk: tried both and neither seem to work [12:12] erland here you go: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766169 [12:12] erland, when you do lspci, what does your wifi model say exactly [12:13] erland heres another site: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/atheros-5007eg-with-madwifi-on-i386-platform.html [12:13] sudo apt-get install build-dep bluefish [12:14] HardDisk: http://paste.ubuntu.com/20114/ [12:14] zyx386, no, you dont need the install, just build-dep [12:14] install installs a package, build-dep will install the things you need to compile it [12:14] MatthewV, e: COULDN'T FINDE PAVKAGE BUILD-DEP [12:14] ok i did that nmap command [12:15] but i don't know how to get access to nmap now ? [12:15] once it has installed.

[12:15] zyx386 : sudo apt-get biuld-dep packagename [12:15] matthewv: i think it worked. i can see the info of my / parition now that has a UUID ...but other drives still need to be worked on apparently [12:15] zyx386, it isn't "sudo apt-get install build-dep bluefish", just "sudo apt-get build-dep bluefish" [12:15] Rocko did you go to system/admin/network tools, that is another application that you might find useful [12:15] matthewv: thanks! [12:15] Rocko if you cant use the bash terminal, would pay just to stick with using the Network tools [12:15] *build-dep [12:15] trust me [12:15] MatthewV, ok sry and thanx [12:15] or you could try nmap-gtk, i think thats it anyway [12:15] ubunubi, no problems... :) all the best with that :) [12:16] dynamethod: Do i have to run nmap through the terminal ? [12:16] Rocko no there is a front end i think [12:16] I thought it would have made a shotcut somewhere. [12:16] -i have ubuntu latest version and i tried to install modem sagem f@st 800 and always give me this msg how can i bypass this problem and connect to the internet in ubuntu?? [12:16] ohok [12:16] Hello, can I remove a package without deleting all dependent packages?

[12:16] matthewv: is it common for only my / parition to be listed in fstab? even though i have like 6 other paritions currently mounted? [12:16] zyx386, if you're interested I JUST wrote an article yesterday how to undo a build-dep without manually searching http://sambuntu.blogspot.com/2008/06/how-to-undo-apt-get-build-dep.html [12:16] matthewv: trying to figure out if initially installing this program emptied by fstab by accident [12:16] Rocko if theres any results from that command about a nmap-gtk, or nmap-frontend or something similar, install it [12:17] ubunubi, it depends how your partitions are mounted, but there is usually at least a / and a /swap [12:17] matthewv: i have them mounted however they auto-mount when i plug in a new HD that has FS+files..it just pops up on my desktop [12:18] dynamethod, not in repo [12:18] zyx386 : you have bluefish in universe repo [12:18] ubunubi, automounted stuff isn't usually in /etc/fstab [12:18] matthewv: cat /etc/fstab just shows my / partition ...my swap is on 2nd HD not listed in that output [12:18] ah ok, oh well, just stick to the Network Tools like HarDisk said Rocko [12:19] ubunubi, :S just see if things still work :) the program should at least have made a backup, but i've never used it so can't really help you... :( [12:19] matthewv: i think it's fine. a reboot will let me know! if you don't see me in a few minutes, I'm back on a live CD! hahaha ;) === ken is now known as Conundrum_ [12:20] MatthewV, iam finish with ./configure, but how can yet start bluefish [12:20] ubunubi, ok... all the best :D [12:20] ? [12:20] acutally Rocko it is in the repos [12:20] Rocko, if you want advanced network monitoring there are apps for it. [12:20] Rocko do this: sudo apt-get install nmapfe [12:20] thats the frontend [12:20] i knew it was there lol [12:20] zenmap - The Network Mapper Front End [12:20] zyx386, after ./configure you need to do a "make" then a "sudo make install" [12:20] oh he wanted a frontend for nmap? [12:20] i installed that but no luck [12:20] zyx386 : did you run make and sudo make install [12:20] ok, thanks i will give that a shot ! [12:21] zyx386, all of that was in the link in !compile [12:21] after you install that, it should show up in prefereneces > admin > nmapfe [12:21] i think [12:21] MatthewV, zvacet thanx [12:21] Rocko, you may want to look at http://www.ubuntugeek.com/bandwidth-monitoring-tools-for-ubuntu-users.html [12:22] zyx386 : as I said you have bluefish in repos (universe) so you don´t need to compile it [12:22] Mark your calendar, wrap a ribbon around your finger or write a little sticky yellow note. Download Day will start on June 17, 2008. [12:22] zvacet, ? who in univers? realy :) [12:22] Don’t forget to be part of Firefox’s Download Day!

Ie. When I press "home" in the shell it doesn't jump to the beginning, it just does nothing [12:23] zyx386 : well,you learn how to compile :D [12:24] similarly "pgup" and "pgdn" don't work [12:24] as a consequence I can't scroll up in irssi [12:24] zvacet, thanx again [12:25] zyx386 : np [12:25] I didn't change anything in the keyboards settings and it worked before [12:25] I cannot connect my USB flash drive or external USB disk drive [12:26] zvacet, but this http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=bluefish&searchon=names&suite=hardy§ion=all is a alt version 1.0.7 [12:26] i compile now the new version.1.1.6 [12:27] zyx386 : but that is not a stable one isn´t it [12:27] zvacet, i know but i well test it [12:27] what package should i install to get the hotkeys working on my laptop? [12:28] anyone= [12:28] zyx386 :ok then [12:28] try add/remove search zyx [12:28] then search hotkeys or something. [12:29] when i install ubuntu, the hotkeys are working automatically [12:29] i want to know which package does make them work [12:31] enikke [12:31] Somehow the "Home" and "End" keys (which are on "7" and "1" num) on my laptop keyboard don't work anymore. Ie. When I press "home" in the shell it doesn't jump to the beginning, it just does nothing, actually that goes for all keys on the numeric keypad [12:31] matthewv: worked great, thanks so much. saved me tons of headache. just stopped in so you didn't think i was LiveCD bound ;) gnite [12:32] ma3x :_ I think it is hotkeys and hotkey-setup look in synaptic [12:32] ohh never mind [12:32] I found out why [12:32] the numeric keypad is somehow used as a "mouse replacement" [12:32] ubunubi: ive been reading your conversation on and off, what have you been trying to achieve? it sounds interesting. [12:32] okay, who knows how to fix samba sharing in 8.04 so it works with windows puters correctly? [12:33] DjViper: no knowledge, but i recall that you have to change some registery key in windows for it [12:34] hmm oh really? [12:34] w3d: matthewv walked me through manually patching a buggy program from the hardy repo with a path file that wasn't official yet, to get my GUI based fstab editor working correctly :) [12:34] path-patch* [12:34] simplexio: but how come it worked "out of the box" in 7.10 then? [12:34] awesome, sounds like a good project [12:35] w3d: was interesting ;) i've learned so much in my 2 days using linux my head might just explode :) good think a 2 week vacation starts in 2 days [12:35] DjViper: hmm.. then there is probably some options to turn to get it work, that registery fix thing is few years old info [12:35] DjViper: does it give any error or ...? [12:36] lucky you, i have to prepare for university now [12:36] w3d:: i'll keep that in mind while i'm skydiving in new zealand [12:36] simplexio: in ubuntu, I simply can't list the contents of windows shares [12:36] well, its a year away but still im looking forward to it, so ive just starting using linux based systems. [12:36] haha, nice. [12:37] DjViper: but no problems to log in ? [12:37] DjViper: you 100% that logged in samba user has rights to read directory [12:37] simplexio: doesn't even ask for a login... that's probably one of the problems [12:38] I'm not logged in, but the user should have access, it works from other win 'puter [12:38] +s [12:39] is there a way to "sudo" empty trash? it says it has 5 files in it...i have hidden files turned on..and i see nothing [12:39] but the icon is stuck to full-trash [12:39] ubunubi: look for .local/*/Trash [12:39] i havent even found the trash yet. [12:39] ubuntulog: i always gksudo nautilus then navigate to home/user/.Trash and delete it that way [12:39] DjViper: ahh. [12:39] ubunubi: it moved to ~/.local in hardy I think [12:39] DjViper: force it to use your ubuntu username [12:40] simplexio: how? [12:40] IndyGunFreak: see above please :) [12:40] DjViper: in windows, map networks drive and there is option to select username and password [12:40] ubunubi : cd /home/username/.local/share/Trash and then sudo rm -r * [12:40] thoreauputic_: sure did.. didn't realize that(haven't had to do it in a while).. thanks [12:41] simplexio: how do you do it on a shared folder? [12:41] thanks [12:41] in .local/share I think [12:41] ubunubi : wait [12:41] thoreauputic_: yeah, /local/share/Trash [12:41] right [12:41] DjViper: umm... cant remember, havent used windows for year. [12:42] cd /home/username/.local/share/Trash/files [12:42] trash:/// [12:42] zvacet:: it's okay. once i navigated there it was actually empty. the icon was just stuck .i just removed that gnome widget off my panel and reput it on and it fixed itself [12:42] DjViper: but from filebrowser tools -> map networkd drive -> there should be a button to select login name [12:42] ubunubi : ok [12:43] zvacet: but thanks for letting me know where that is...i'm sure i'll need it later. i'm keeping notes on these things :P i hate searching [12:43] whats the best media player for ubuntu? [12:44] w3d: can't take polls in this channel ;) [12:44] !best | w3D [12:44] w3D: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [12:44] w3D: heh - how long is apiece of string? [12:44] w3d: i'd _recommend_ you try 'vlc' [12:44] w3d: and if vlc doesn't meet all your needs...then continue looking :) [12:44] w3D: but i would also recommend VLC [12:44] i use vlc [12:44] ubunubi : smart people keep notes others have to search [12:44] in windows. [12:44] Why does GNOME maintain two directories for desktop entry files: /usr/share/app-install/desktop/ and /usr/share/applications/? [12:44] w3D: thre is no best, there is choice between mplayer, vlc and ... [12:44] but for music, i like to optimise. [12:44] w3D, click on add/remove search for media players there, there are many choices. [12:45] jah, i miss winamp [12:45] havent used that in ages. [12:45] w3D: depends on what you want your music player to do... i like small/simple so i use audacious [12:45] w3D, you have many good mp3 players, amarok, exaile, banshee, rythmbox, audacious so many more [12:45] zvacet: mine are in a backed up flat-text file...but it works for now :) i like Ctrl+F searching better than google hunting forums anyday of the week! [12:45] w3D: try audacious, if you like winamp [12:45] w3D : xmms then [12:45] kk [12:45] w3D: if you like a full featured mp3 manager, exaile, amarok, rythmbox. [12:45] w3D, audacious is similar to winamp if you want, the rest are managers too [12:45] w3D: u have xmms sane design of winamp [12:45] w3D: rhytmbox is little bloatware [12:45] zvacet, no xmms is discontinued [12:45] my fav OS is winamp [12:45] people xmms is discontinued in hardy [12:46] tenx: does it run Doom? [12:46] HardDisk : didn´t know that thx === doel is now known as cew_17 [12:46] i used to really like xmms, but audacious is more or less the same, w/ a few more features. [12:46] IndyGunFreak, sup :) [12:46] im so glad i dont have to make all the installs for these programs. [12:46] Theres still the ghost of xmms in a few other packages/apps :) that need to be worked on. Heh. [12:46] actually, i think Xmms, lost official support around feisty... its just kinda hung i the repos forever. [12:46] w3D, why all you do is click and apply. [12:46] w3d: yes, aptitude/synaptic/apt-get is a god-send [12:46] HardDisk: not much, seeing who can stress me out here today, lol [12:47] ubunubi: winamp runs everything. on lowest prorietery there is. ! Besides taking every other ressources [12:47] ubunubi, and add/remove :) [12:47] !patch [12:47] Patches are files describing the changes in code to achieve some results. There are a number of ways these can be produced, but https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/HowToFix and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/PatchSystems may provide some useful guidelines. [12:47] i hate add/remove.. it seems kind of redundant, with Synaptic being so easy to use.. [12:47] IndyGunFreak: xmms has a long and distinguished record :) But it was gtk 1.2 and most of that has been turfed out now [12:48] tenx: wow, that sounds like what i need to really unleash my overclocked quad-core..thanks for the tip [12:48] thoreauputic_: yeah, i knew it had been around a while, I used it back when i first tried linux(probably 6yrs ago), until probably Feisty.. then went w/audacious. [12:48] cod4 should be linux based also. [12:48] * thoreauputic_ recompiled some gtk 1.2 stuff that he still likes [12:48] where is smb.conf located? [12:49] DjViper, in /etc [12:49] djviper: i have no idea..but sudo updatedb then "locate smb.conf" maybe? [12:49] Locate command is a 'must learn' command. :) [12:49] How often does updatedb run on it's own? i've always wondered [12:49] anyone know how to turn o ati 3d card [12:49] ubunubi: exactly. you really got it. your quad core system will serve perfectly for a ressource sucking application [12:49] "now you have linux you can hack the taco bell website" [12:49] aha.

[13:11] yo guys [13:11] supp [13:11] thoreauputic_, i know, but that is no solution of the issue [13:11] it should be in sync all the time [13:12] thoreauputic_: because at the price he paid for ubuntu, servers should be up all the time!

[13:25] tacomachine: np === rexbron_ is now known as rexium [13:26] Josellis: hmm i dont think so... that would probably require two separate installs(one w/ the driver enabled, the other w/o) [13:26] cant remember its name so cant find the site [13:26] IndyGunFreak, kk, just an idea [13:26] IndyGunFreak, but thanks anyway, gonna try this now [13:27] Josellis: ok.. [13:27] google is not helping either [13:27] have anyone gotten the mediaplayerconnectivity addon working in firefox 3? [13:27] akshat, what I got was this: http://www.collegeathome.com/blog/2008/05/22/open-courseware-for-linux-geeks-50-resources/ please note this is offtopic [13:27] google always helps === onats is now known as Guest48973 [13:28] If I setup two ubuntu servers and dns round robin between then, how do you have them share drive space? [13:28] b4l7424r: whats it do?.. the add-on? [13:28] tenX: grobda24: IndyGunFreak: ati card, xorg;conf is correct, but resolution is still wrong... === onats_ is now known as onats [13:28] IndyGunFreak, it send video streams in firefox to vlc [13:28] msg thoreauputic_ !otherhelp might be useful [13:28] hi, what is the major difference of KDE vs Gnome? [13:28] ompaul: thanks [13:28] gratefulfrog: you'll probably have to manually edit xorg.conf to accept the resolution you want. [13:29] onats: kde sucks, gnome does not.. is the biggest difference [13:29] i would like to achieve a desktop like this:http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3212/2486698642_d60e23b015_o.jpg [13:29] IndyGunFreak, language..come on man [13:29] HardDisk: sucks? [13:29] IndyGunFreak: I did that, but the resolution in gnome is still not the ones i selected. [13:29] That isn't a slightly biased answer. [13:29] the attitude as well [13:29] thanks [13:29] HardDisk: its a joke, take a paxil [13:29] Hi everyone [13:29] I have installed ioquake, does anyone know how to uninstall? and why does it make directories in my home directory? Like .q3a [13:30] onats, they are two different GUI's look at some screenshots or videos if you want to compare. [13:30] how do I start the notification-daemon? [13:30] gratefulfrog ... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto?highlight=(resolution) [13:30] IndyGunFreak, not for me man, ompaul is here, so watch your language/attitude :) [13:30] onats: that will require some heavy themeing. [13:30] what happened to mplayer plugin? I'm using firefox rc1 and using mplayer as my player. When I close the tab containing mplayer the theme will transform to the most plain and boring one I have ever seen it seems like I have been wrap back to win3.1 ....how do I fix this? Is this a bug? [13:30] grobda24: thatnks! I'm looking at it... [13:30] I have my theme with my icons, a custom theme in fact, and i already save it, now where i can find the file so i can formtar the pc and them apply the same theme again? [13:30] gratefulfrog: for my notebook running a 1280*800 solution i have to run some firmware modifying tool on start up, took a while to figure that up... seeminlgy some cards do not support some modes right off [13:30] these are wicked desktops: http://www.linuxhaxor.net/2008/05/17/10-most-beautiful-looking-linux-desktop/ [13:30] akshat: http://tinyurl.com/328wm6 try that, its OpenCourseWare [13:31] Carpe|Diem: The .q3a directory is where user settings and downloads are stored. You can uninstall ioq3 by deleting the directory it was installed to. Don't remember where it is at the moment. [13:31] yes but [13:32] QUILz: , what about the shortcuts it makes? [13:32] knew about that but still thanks [13:32] harddisk, which one are you using? [13:32] QUILz: i have to delete the .q3a directory too, i guess? [13:32] onats, currently Gnome. But you should try them both and see which you prefer. [13:32] Carpe|Diem: Well you can delete .q3a, although it shouldn't take up too much space [13:32] Carpe|Diem: I'm not sure where the shortcuts go though [13:33] k [13:33] onats, tuxenclave.wordpress.com/2007/11/23/ubuntu-customization-guide-v2/ [13:33] ty, QUILz [13:33] onats: the second one on that link, looks like Gnome running avant, but i could be wrong [13:33] :) [13:33] Carpe|Diem: No problem [13:33] harddisk, nice, thanks for the link! [13:33] onats, also google for something called Mac4Lin just to give you a head start as well on what's out there to make themeing easy. [13:33] If I create a mount using --bind, will it still be there after a reboot? [13:34] hi, basically i installed ubuntu on my brothers pc around 3 months ago... and he hasn't updated it since... there are now 350 updates that need to be installed, but it can't download some of them (i presume because they were removed since) it was the hardy RC that was installed, is there any way to fix the system as the package manager will not let me do the partial upgrade? [13:34] indygunfreak, thanks, looking it up too [13:34] erle- I have found but only English http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/ [13:34] also to harddisk [13:34] I want to setup redundant identical ubuntu servers, I am confused how they would share data though? can someone point me in the right direction?

[13:39] userrrrr, what language do you prefer? i think you won't be lucky to find something else than english [13:39] LordOllie, actually which is easier? the 2 exact copies of data would be nice, but would it be easy to bring a third server into the cluster?

[13:41] cdavis_, theoretically the first is impossible it would be possible if there was a sync cycle say every 5 minutes, but simultaneously would be a deadlock nightmare. I would guess you should throw in a third server sort of like the micro kernel architecture does for internal accounting.

[14:28] :( [14:28] What laptop do you have ubuntu_ ? [14:28] do you use gnome ubuntu__ ? [14:28] MatthewV I did that. I found people suggesting that you kill pulseaudio. But that didn't seem to fix things for me specifically. I get kind of confused on what to choose as the capture device etc. for these various programs. I have OSS, Alsa, etc. as choices.....almost too many sub choices too. [14:28] ubuntu_: probably is everything done through ACPI and the kernel [14:28] yes i use ubuntu (gnome) [14:29] I have esprimo v5505 [14:29] guys, i have come to a verdict. i prefer ubuntu in front of kubuntu! i have had both installed, now i would like to uninstall kubuntu. anyone now how to do this? [14:29] MatthewV: still wont give me permission [14:29] what happened to mplayer plugin? I'm using firefox rc1 and using mplayer as my player. When I close the tab containing mplayer the theme will transform to the most plain and boring one I have ever seen it seems like I have been wrap back to win3.1 ....how do I fix this? Is this a bug? [14:29] Dante123, yeh i know what you mean, I was playing around with audacity about a week back - just a moment and I'll take a look at mine for you [14:29] I finally got the teamspeak to "half" work by using aoss [14:29] gorg: if its on another partition, from Ubuntu, cd into that partition and wipe it :P [14:30] can anyone else help me with this issue [14:30] the teamspeak app works when I set a button to hold and speak...but the voice activation doesn't work for me. [14:30] empty_: i think it is on the same partition [14:30] tdawgedogg, hmm... not sure then... is it a removable drive or not? [14:30] erUSUL, of course it's done through acpi, but which package/process does tell acpi to adjust volume or brightness when i press the hotkey? [14:31] no its a raid drive that i just formatted in ex3 [14:31] so its justa giant 1.3 tb hd [14:31] gorg: unlikely, can you mount it from Ubuntu? [14:31] pen in the words of Dilbert's boss....its not a bug its a feature [14:31] nite all [14:31] whats the issue tdawgedogg [14:31] hi, I need to install JRE on my system, can anyone help me? [14:31] i did like this: I already have Ubuntu installed, how can I get Kubuntu? Install kubuntu-desktop either with Synaptic or the command line apt-get install. [14:31] Dante123, what do you mean by that? [14:32] Dante123, I don't want that [14:32] ..that was badly explained. [14:32] the cartoon Dilbert.....where they make excuses for shoddy products....my attempt at humour. [14:32] bash: i cant copy and paste files to me new mounted hd [14:32] Dante123, all i can see at the moment is audacity is working for me, using the OSS devices and launching with "padsp audacity" [14:32] hello [14:32] bash: permission denied [14:32] empty_: i am a bit unsure [14:32] aha [14:32] hi. can anyone access ? [14:32] what is padsp MathewV [14:32] why my firefox in ubuntu slow but on my windows XP its faster??? [14:32] bash: can i give myself write access to this drive [14:32] emtpy_: ubuntu was installed initially, and then i added kubuntu somehow [14:33] tdawgedogg, maybe best to add the appropriate entry to /etc/fstab then, check !fstab [14:33] is it mounted read-only ? [14:33] gorg: if you installed kubuntu-desktop from within your ubuntu partition, via apt-get [14:33] salty-horse: yes [14:33] salty-horse: aye [14:33] why my firefox in ubuntu slow but on my windows XP its faster??? [14:33] _ubuntu: do you have your Fn-F4/5 setup to do that already, or are you asking how to do it? [14:33] MatthewV what is padsp? something like aoss [14:33] Dante123, padsp does basically the same thing as aoss, except that its for pulseaudio instead of alsa... [14:33] gorg: should be as simple as: sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop [14:33] okay. I will try that. [14:33] DIL, iarwain1, thanks [14:33] i believe i did something like that [14:33] thanks MatthewV [14:33] ok [14:33] i ll try that [14:33] can u give me line of fstab tdawgedogg [14:33] waht are the hardware requirements for ubuntu 8.04 ? [14:33] help please [14:33] hi,,is there particular command to know the name of my ISP? === ken is now known as Conundrum_ [14:34] how to make firefox faster in ubuntu [14:34] i havent entered it into fstab yet....can u help me with this bash [14:34] help please [14:34] why my firefox in ubuntu slow but on my windows XP its faster??? [14:34] yeah sure [14:34] what was your mounting line then ? [14:34] gorg: i'd recommend doing purge instead of remove, "sudo apt-get purge kubuntu-desktop" [14:35] MatthewV so running "padsp audacity" from CLI will then tell me how to install padsp if I don't have it right? [14:35] That's how it worked with aoss MatthewV [14:35] how do i uninstall IES4LINUX? [14:35] !puregnome > gorg [14:35] empty_: purge? hmm.. i came as long as this, should i abort and include the purge? [14:35] Reading package lists... Done [14:35] Building dependency tree [14:35] Reading state information... Done [14:35] The following packages will be REMOVED: [14:35] kubuntu-desktop [14:35] 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 0 not upgraded. [14:35] After this operation, 45.1kB disk space will be freed. [14:35] Do you want to continue [Y/n]?

The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [14:36] gorg Please do not do that again [14:36] anyone see my message?

[14:36] yes [14:36] Dante123, presumably ;) i think its in the package pulseaudio-utils [14:36] yes netboy [14:36] gorg: kubuntu-desktop is a meta package, go ahead and remove it. [14:36] gorg: wait till its done, then do a purge [14:36] MatthewV, how do i remove IES4LINUX? [14:36] Please tell us more netboy. What version of ubuntu? What version of Firefox etc. [14:36] gorg: all purge does, is remove packages and source files (if they were included) [14:36] sorry. got it [14:37] can anyone explain this? [14:37] E: Package sun-java6-plugin has no installation candidate [14:37] Thanks MatthewV [14:37] I'm trying to install java on hardy [14:37] Uplink, check http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Uninstall [14:37] Laurenceb: your missing a source probably [14:37] Laurenceb: sounds like multiverse isnt enabled [14:38] Laurenceb: or are you on 64bit? [14:38] yes [14:38] amd64 [14:38] !java64 [14:38] You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava [14:38] Laurenceb: sun does not provide a 64bit plugin. Try the icedtea one [14:38] hi there, has anyone here got a clue on how to install broadband connection through WIFI? [14:38] right [14:38] but I want to run eclipse [14:39] Laurenceb: then you don't need the plugin. Install the jre or jdk [14:39] Laurenceb: you do not need the firefox plugin to run eclipse [14:39] i still got many of the applications from kubuntu [14:39] I love rm -rf ;D [14:39] sure sorry [14:39] !java > Laurenceb [14:39] Hi all, [14:39] I'd need some help on log to monitor random freeze in 8.04 [14:40] gorg: easiest way, track down anything with a K in front of it in synaptic === muzy_afk is now known as muzy [14:40] gorg: google "pure gnome ubuntu" [14:40] ok. easy peacy [14:40] Hey guys, can anyone help me configure XGL (already installed) on gnome ? [14:41] bash: is it fstab.conf in etc? [14:41] irc.inn.at.euirc.net [14:42] anyone know if Totem is capable of playing .swf? [14:42] hi [14:42] hi [14:42] hi [14:42] D3RGPS31, i've had it playing flash movies from my browser cahce before.. so i'd assume it does :) [14:42] I can't get original dvd's to playback in totem [14:42] Hey anyone else had the computer sound muted after update? [14:42] oh ther i am [14:42] !dvd | carlozousa [14:43] carlozousa: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs [14:43] MatthewV: any special plugins? [14:43] once im in /etc is it just sudo nano fstab.conf ??? [14:43] Laurenceb: try onstalling the package sun-java6-jre, either through the Synaptic graphical interface or with the command apt-get install [14:43] D3RGPS31, nope, as long as you've got it playing all sorts of stuff (ubuntu-restricted-extras) i think you should be fine [14:44] Why does Ubuntu maintain two directories for desktop entry files: /usr/share/app-install/desktop/ and /usr/share/applications/? [14:44] krasher run the pcm setting all the way down then back up.. see if that helps [14:44] tdawgedogg: Not fstab.conf, it's just fstab [14:44] Jack_Sparrow: How i do that? [14:44] krasher double click your volume control [14:44] MatthewV: I have that and it still doesn't play .swf files [14:45] krasher There were a few situations where that was all that was needed. [14:45] bash: u there? or can someone help me with 1 fstab entry [14:45] i have problems when i hook up my laptop to a projector (just won't work and usually messes up my main screen as well), however i have to give a presentation soon. the main problem is, i can't "test" it because i don't have a projector myself, is a second screen identical in behavior to a projector? (i would assume so, but i need to know for sure) [14:45] tdawgedogg what are you trying to do with fstab [14:46] hey i rebooted the pc and compiz stopped working... what gives? [14:46] Thanks Jack_Sparrow [14:46] krasher It nice when the simple fixes work [14:46] i just made a raid array....formatted it in ext3...and i mounted it and it was like read only or something becuase i couldnt copy and paste files onto it [14:46] so bash said to add it to fstab [14:47] D3RGPS31, ok, looking closer, it'll play flash movies... but not actual flash .swf's... sorry [14:47] tdawgedogg, you mean to say your USER couldent write to it? or could root access it? It will need to be mounted from the fstab file to be accessable at all. [14:47] tdawgedogg have you pastebinned your fstab, and does the drive work when mounted manually [14:47] ive done that a while ago and still get the same error while doing the dvd reading activation [14:47] MatthewV: thanks =( [14:47] for swf gotta use firefox [14:47] HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 404 Not Found [14:47] my fstab file is blank!!!! also i mounted it to a directory and it worked fine [14:48] tdawgedogg fstab is not blank, you must have the wrong path or filename [14:48] drive worked fine when manually mounted i just cant put any data on the drive cause permission is denied....i dont know how to try as root [14:48] tdawgedogg gksudo gedit /etc/fstab [14:48] i think i deleted it [14:48] what happened to mplayer plugin? I'm using firefox rc1 and using mplayer as my player. When I close the tab containing mplayer the theme will transform to the most plain and boring one I have ever seen it seems like I have been wrap back to win3.1 ....how do I fix this? Is this a bug? [14:49] i think theres a backup file though let me restore really fast [14:49] tring sudo apt-get install Couldn't find package build-essentials ? [14:49] tdawgedogg not good, you should look in that directory for a backup of fstab.. asap [14:49] baalsgate, it is build-essential , not build-essentials :) [14:50] pen does it do this with effects off [14:50] !build-essential [14:50] Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [14:50] Jack_Sparrow, you mean compiz? [14:51] pen yes, does it act the same when compiz is off [14:51] harsh, are u there. This is vivek [14:51] Jack_Sparrow, I might have to try [14:51] netboy is using an Artnet wireless broadband router and thinks Firefox is running slower under Ubuntu than Windows. Any suggestions for him? [14:52] pen if it does not act the same then you might consider /join #compiz to see if they have seen that problem [14:52] Jack_Sparrow, ok [14:52] grog: how goes it? [14:52] Dante123 netboy got muted after 12 repeats in about a minute [14:53] He's from Asia and my guess an early teen. Let's cut him a bit of slack. [14:53] how to add server? [14:53] I advised that he try to be more specific with his info and requests. [14:53] Dante123 He was unmuted after a minute or so [14:53] Good morning all. Im running Ubuntu 7.04 I have the message now that says that i can Upgrade to Ubuntu 7.10. If i do this will i loose all the programs ive installed? its taken me a long time to get my wifi to work and id rather not go through that again.... [14:54] hi, is it possible to start thunderbird in terminal with a option to hover a special mailaccount (when i open it, normally the 1st mail account in the list on the left is hovered) [14:54] jack_sparrow: http://pastebin.com/m122e30f2 thats my fstab now i just copied the backup [14:54] clintchance: it wont remove your programs, but I would recommend making a backup of your wifi config [14:54] clintchance you are a bit behind the times.....8.04 is latest out.

If I want to start Nexuiz it crashes and leaves the screen resolution ridiculously low. There was an x update yesterday, so I assume it has something to do with that. Usin manually installed nvidia-drivers her, modules blacklisted [14:55] clintchance if you installed anything from an external repository they may not work, everything in ubuntu should upgrade fine [14:55] can anyone tell me good 3D racing and shooting games for ubuntu hardy [14:55] empty_, is there a way to get ndis backedup? [14:55] clintchance make a backup.. but that upgrade is pretty safe.. [14:55] Im going to go to 8.04 after 7.10 [14:55] clintchance: you wont use many configs and programs, but after an update it is possible that some things dont work right or another errors, its everytime a bit risky, why dont you isntall hardy from cd and make a backup of your /home and /etc from 7.04? [14:56] clintchance: definetly make a backup of /etc atleast [14:56] dns53 can anyone tell me good 3D racing and shooting games for ubuntu hardy [14:56] The_Manu_212, because i dont have a blank cdr [14:56] net Please hold down the repeats...

If you install the package "wesnoth-all" you don't get the map editor, a fact which is probably OK. You neither get the server (wesnothd), a fact that maybe is not very harmful. But you neither get any sound of the game, a fact which is rediculous. You have to explicitly install the package "wesnoth-sound" to have sound in the game. All these issues are for the package "wesnoth-all", as I s [15:46] aid. With the package "wesnoth" you get a thing that is hardly called "a game". You don't even get the scenarios!

[17:03] what is the kernel? [17:03] pablo: to get aMSN to video/audio, you will need some plugins, I forget what they are called tho, do a google search [17:03] how does linux work?

Thank you [17:07] jrib: ok, thanks anyway.. im just trying to figure out if its worthwhile for me to hold out until a new release, or just upgrade it myself, however it seems like its frowned upon to upgrade your kernel yourself as it may have adverse effects on some of the packages or whatever...

This restricts access greatly unless you are one of these retards who logs in as root [17:51] lol ActionParsnip [17:51] also you don't have a huge spyware known as the registry.

I've got the two to pair but anytime I try to connect I get "unable to connect" can any one give me a hand or point me in the right direction?

[18:25] tuxboy666: this looks helpful: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2008-February/138078.html [18:25] yes, they were known issues with NVidia nforce2 chipsets [18:25] did u check this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver [18:25] maek: it didnt break anything for me :) [18:25] thankyou very much LinuxMonkey [18:25] I don't see any place to set it - [18:25] When I start hardy with my wifi killswitch on, I can't enable wireless and lshw claims it's network "UNCLAIMED", how can I "reclaim" it? [18:25] I'm using the Sun xVM Virtual Box [18:26] techgeek40: Machine->Settings [18:26] very good, CarlFK, sorry I couldn't help you more. I stopped playing with that kind of wireless almost soon as I started [18:26] I like my wifi in this spot [18:26] помощь руссийский сервер [18:26] Let me close out and try - it's grayed out for right now [18:26] !ru | galo4kin [18:26] galo4kin: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [18:26] BrB [18:27] I got my router antenna up high and can take my laptop all the way down the street [18:27] :D [18:27] I can I use an xkbmap in a console/VT/TTY? [18:28] Hi, I was here few minutes ago talking with ActionParsnip, he suggested for my Sound playback problem reinstalling players and codecs. Where can I find in Synaptic packet manager the proprietary MP3 codec I installed from Totem player before? [18:28] Why does Ubuntu maintain two directories for desktop entry files: /usr/share/app-install/desktop/ and /usr/share/applications/? [18:28] ryanakca: No, the "x" part of the name there means for X server [18:28] ryanakca: Use instead console-setup/console-tools [18:29] Zababa, the mp3 codec lives in libxine1-ffmpeg normally [18:29] I rebooted recently and now when I log in, the "tray" doesn't appear. (I mean the horizontal strip along the top of my screen, that contains menus) [18:29] Zababa: for multimedia codecs run this in terminal: sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg libxine1-ffmpeg libdvdread3 [18:29] ok guys now I see your position. Sorry for my impatience. I noticed when I was helping, I hardly noticed anyone but the person I was helping [18:29] at least thats the way I always get it (may be others) [18:29] what can I do to fix that? [18:30] and thanks for tryibng to help [18:30] i have an unmounted ntfs external hdd, and i can't rename it. what's the problem there?

[18:30] !tr | kralbatur [18:30] bazhang_: Heh, you win ;) [18:30] genii, :) [18:30] hey all, question about upgrading -- I upgraded successfully last night from 7.04 to 7.10, then tried the 7.10 -> 804 upgrade using the "Update Manager" but it failed just before the "clean up" stage -- how do I manually run the upgrade program again, or get a list of what needs to be cleaned up? [18:30] bazhang_: how'd you know so fast that that was Turkish?_ [18:30] benzss: mount it then rename [18:30] i need a vit of help , i cant log to ubuntu becoz i made they keyboard only hebrew , and my user name is english [18:31] iandouglas: I think I gave up and reformatted and installed from scratch :-| [18:31] Simple question: i made folder under root. But how to can i change its owner? [18:31] offby1: " türkçe " [18:31] genii: yes, but I have a specific/customized keyboard layout for X. I sadly don't have an equivalent / haven't created one for the terminal. Would you know of a way to convert it? [18:31] tech0007: 'The item could not be renamed' (mounted or unmounted) [18:31] genii: ? I didn't understand that; it looked like garbage [18:31] ryanakca: No, not offhand [18:31] hello,I'm using Hardy and I have problem with the dreaded iw3945 driver [18:31] ah, he said "Turkish" in Turkish :) [18:32] genii: thanks anyways :) [18:32] offby1: Ah. Here it appears as something like "turkce" [18:32] puccio, what is the issue [18:32] offby1: yeah, I suppose that's one answer to it, but I don't really feel like reinstalling the entire OS and then having to remember which utilities I use etc [18:32] benzss: how are you renaming it? gui? try it in terminal with 'mv' [18:32] well anyone ? [18:32] genii: it does here, too, now that I've "rebooted" konsole's encoding :-| [18:32] ryanakca: np [18:32] bazhang_, I was using the ipw3945 of the 2.6.22 kernel up to now, but it seems that recently network-manager don't not make me connect anymore. [18:32] (konsole forgets its encoding periodically) [18:32] iandouglas: I know. It's a pain :-| [18:32] bazhang_, because indeed with the 2.6.24 series my wifi interface was not working at all in network manager [18:32] I have sound :> [18:33] tech007: Well, that installed some other proprietary codecs... my problem actually is no playback at all. I can't even play ogg. [18:33] Now the only thing I need to do is mount my windows D: drive (where I have some photos and documents) [18:33] bazhang_, so my basic question is which configuration do I have to use to re-make it work, it would not be an issue to use an older kernel just that network manager does not work anymore.... [18:33] puccio, what about from the terminal what does ifconfig show two entries or three [18:33] Is it possible to remap my "photos" and "documents" to my D: driver? [18:33] русский [18:34] !ru | galo4kin [18:34] galo4kin: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [18:34] Zababa: whats your media player? [18:34] tech0007, VLC [18:34] bazhang_, iwconfing lists my network interface [18:34] tech0007: but it does not play in Totem player or xmms2 either [18:34] bazhang_, the network-manager lists it too, but it does not list any essid in it [18:35] Zababa: run the program in terminal and check for errors in the output. [18:35] Is it possible to remap my "photos" and "documents" to my D: driver? [18:35] puccio, let me get you a link === nibsa1242 is now known as nibsa1242b [18:35] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=571188 puccio try this [18:35] i need a vit of help , i cant log to ubuntu becoz i made they keyboard only hebrew , and my user name is english [18:35] Well, let me ask this: how do I mount my d: drive? [18:35] bazhang_, if I do iwlist eth1 scan on the terminal, it lists me the networks it find.. [18:36] Blue_Wolf: you said that already [18:36] Tech0007: Thank you for that help - audio now works [18:36] some how nobody answered :( [18:36] techgeek40: what fs is your D: drive? [18:36] Blue_Wolf: probably nobody knows the answer. [18:36] _I_ certainly don't. [18:36] bazhang_, thanks. so back to 90's with no graphical network manager, that's it? :-) [18:36] ok thankyou anyway [18:36] tech0007: ntfs (I don't use fat32) [18:36] How can I change how many old kernels are in my /boot ? There are 4 old ones in addition to the current kernel there right now, and there is only ~4MB of free space left. [18:37] puccio, well if its not working with network manager; just a suggestion :) [18:37] techgeek40: hardy's in virtualbox right? [18:37] nibsa1242b-> yes, your disk space is the limiting factor [18:37] !wireless [18:37] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [18:37] nibsa1242b: I _think_ you can just remove the relevant packages using Synaptic or whatever package manager you like [18:37] tech007: yes it is - [18:37] bazhang_, ok... :-) [18:37] I even went to the settings and added that drive letter as share [18:38] amenado: so on the next kernel upgrade it'll remove the one of the old ones from /boot automatically? [18:38] <_user_> hi [18:38] bazhang_, so can we say that if my iwlist eth1 scan shows networks around me, I can be confident to manually configure it properly or are there technical issues which could prevent it? [18:38] nibsa1242b-> update does not remove old kernels [18:38] very interesting about my fglrx issue with my X1950 PRO. This guy had same issue and he said "I eventually found out that the AGP aperture size in the BIOS setup was set wrong. I tried the highest value (256 MB) and the lowest (32 MB). They both did not work. The value that did work was 128 MB." [18:38] bazhang_, like wap/wep whatever support [18:38] <_user_> anyone here know how to get and install cedega? i've tried running warcraft3 with wine but i can't see anything ingame [18:38] Worth a shot? [18:38] nibsa1242b-> upgrade* does not remove old kernels [18:39] hi, I have recently upgraded rom 7.10 to 8.04 and now there is no sound on VLC and Movie Player (I do have it on mozilla and games) any idea on how to diagnose it? [18:39] amenado: then my /boot is going to fill up. Why doesn't it remove old kernels? [18:39] techgeek0007: MY understanding of Virtual box is that it should behave just like if it were running on its own partition [18:39] puccio, well the network manager *should* work; but if it does not that is a nice workaround [18:39] nibsa1242b-> it was not designed to do such [18:39] In hoary see the following dmesg message: [18:39] Bluetooth: BNEP (Ethernet Emulation) ver 1.2 [18:39] pan0: Dropping NETIF_F_UFO since no NETIF_F_HW_CSUM feature. [18:39] bazhang_, ok thanks [18:39] [18:39] bbiab gonna try it because it is interesting [18:39] I was wondering if ubuntu had issues with mounting NTFS partitions over a certain size... I've been having troubles trying to get my external drive to mount properly, it displays the drive but when I try to access it, it says that it was unable to mount... [18:39] do I need ndiswrapper to access the wireless network? [18:40] techgeek40: you need to setup shared folders. [18:40] amenado: I know there is a file somewhere that says "keep this many old kernels" I've edited it in the past on my desktop [18:40] tech0007: I did that under settings - [18:40] techgeek40: did you get desktop additions? [18:40] hey tech0007 how do I setup shared folders [18:40] could anyone tell the "radeon x1900" price ? [18:40] nibsa1242b-> i dont remember where that is off hand [18:41] ty bazhang_ :) [18:41] amenado: see now I have this error "update-initramfs: failed for /boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-18-generic" its failing because my /boot is full [18:41] guhnouille: I left clicked on it - but not really seeing anything happen when I do that - [18:41] thundarr: machine->settings->shared folders in virtualbox [18:41] tech0007: xmms2 in command line says it plays the ogg file but I don't hear anything. (I checked aplay before, loudspeakers are working) [18:41] tech0007 I just joined the chat....are you guys talking about trying to network ubuntu and windows [18:41] I figured a window should pop up asking what I want to install [18:41] nibsa1242b-> there is /etc/kernel-img.conf but i dont see the number of kernels to be kept as a selection there [18:41] wtf is wrong with my firefox. :S Taking 200MiB's of ram ain't normal [18:42] thundarr: nope, sharing folders b/w host XP and guest hardy [18:42] techgeek40: the option from the drop-down menu for desktop additions mounts the installer as a virtual optical drive [18:42] another time, another people awake: usb harddrive 250 gb, fresh ubuntu install works great (initrd with usb modules), after cp -a form old system, there is ~30sec delay before grub menu and ~5min delay after grub menu and before "Starting up", any ideas how to get rid of that? (fstab and menu.lst preserved, i am on that system right know - works ok after kernel starts loading) [18:42] firefox is a memhog [18:42] I'm running Windows Home Premium (2 gigs ram) with threee sata drives and two IDE drives [18:42] JannoTT try swiftfox or opera [18:42] thundarr: techgeek40: google has many solutions for your virtualbox questions [18:42] run opera in that case [18:42] techgeek40: it should start automatically installing desktop additions, you need it for shared folders IIRC [18:43] amenado: I'll go try to find out. It makes no sense to me that the old kernels aren't removed. There is no reason for me to have 5 kernels in my /boot [18:43] hello [18:43] Okay - I did that' so let me reboot all the way- [18:43] BrB [18:43] tech0007.. I am trying to share folders with my windows network [18:43] and nothing has helped [18:43] how many tabs do you have open in firefox for it to use 200 mb [18:43] hi [18:43] keri: hi [18:43] or individual windows [18:43] hmm neat [18:43] tech0007... I will try techgeek40 though [18:44] sudobash: probably about 2-3 if they are flash heavy [18:44] JannoTT, indeed how many tabs [18:44] i have ubuntu and i just got this message when i am trying to search the web Are you sure you want to navigate away from this page?

Here's the error: /blahblah/.htaccess: Options not allowed here, referer: blahblah [18:47] let me try this brb [18:47] neat [18:48] keri, you will need to restart ff after installing and getting the list of ads to block [18:48] Where do I change my cursor in Hardy?

Its in some text file somewhere and basically says "only keep this many old kernels around". Why clog up space in /boot ? [18:50] eboyjr: in the system-->preference-->appearance->theme tab and hit Customize [18:50] probably when "hardly used" [18:50] I have tried various guides but direc accelaration still doesn't work [18:50] after bazhang_ [18:50] _wipf1337: Uh, I've done that.

[19:16] bazhang_: i have a sd card 1gig and i used unetbootin to installed on it and it installed fine but the bios is not detecting the sd card flash [19:16] could be a bug in your drivers/chipset and usually using ALSA can help [19:17] ALSA rocks! [19:17] what should i do if my sound is crackling, and switching to ALSA or OSS doesnt work? [19:17] bazhang_how would i mount it from internal....i have two internal sata drive: the one im on now has the iso image so can i do it from here [19:17] Hello!

[19:19] oh yay, lowering PCM did the trick! :D [19:19] but i have seen windows optical work fine and ubuntu optical have some crackling in it so maybe it is the PCM?

It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ [19:41] !xdtv [19:41] Factoid xdtv not found [19:41] clintchance: so your wireless worked out of the box w/ hardy? [19:42] indygunfreak,havent upgraded yet. Im not up to it im in a trust zone here [19:42] !parallels [19:42] Factoid parallels not found [19:42] Ienorand: type lsmod and then look for something near "pci" should list the modules loaded for that card. [19:42] oh ok [19:42] dont change generated system files ... and nomly all changes in . profile ... this its only for this user [19:42] anyone here managed to make xdtv work under gutsy ? [19:42] which shell u need ? [19:42] also you can type dmesg when you toggle the wifi card... and see what shows up. [19:43] whats a crc error system haulted [19:43] Ienorand: also you can type dmesg when you toggle the wifi card... and see what shows up. [19:43] wiz_works: ath_pci 101024 0 , that is the thing for wireless I presume, nothing interesting towards bottom [fuse softcursor and stuff] [19:43] heiko_, Well what I am going to do is I am going to put all users except root, sync, uucp and my account to use /usr/sbin/nologin [19:43] For Gnome Where would be a good place to get themes? [19:43] clintchance, GnomeArt [19:43] gnome-look.org [19:44] unclemike: we will need more information. i.e. what were you doing, were you got that message, etc... [19:44] lejoin, thanks [19:44] Ienorand: toggle the wifi card again and then type dmesg. It should output something pertaining to the card and give a clue as to what's going on./ [19:44] LinuxMonkey: i was booting the system [19:44] unclemike, a crc check is a check that checks if the file is damaged or altered since when it was created and if that fails, it probably means the file is damaged somehow [19:45] u'll lock all users ? [19:45] heiko_, Yeah but mine and root [19:45] wiz_works: ok, that would make me unable to connect again, untill reboot is done... anything else I should try whilst doing this reboot? [19:45] Anyone have anyidea on how to debug a bluetooth ppp tethering issue? Can't figure out what should be in my PPP script or why what I do have is giving an error cause its only outputing "ERROR" [19:45] hmm yes :> u cant lock root ;) [19:45] I need some help configuring the boot.. I read the tutorial about it, and some article in ubuntu forums - but they didn't help [19:45] heiko_, I have a backup of the file so dont worry, I aint that stupid ;) [19:46] hrhr [19:46] :> [19:46] hello does anyone know a flv to 3gp converter? [19:46] Ienorand: type this: lsmod | grep ieee80211 [19:46] You learn atleast that after using and repairing computers for like 8 years ^^ [19:46] what does it say? [19:46] I dropped ATI a line. Everyone with issues should :) Describe your issue in detail [19:46] I have debian's grub on hd1,0 and when I do find /boot/grub/stage1 I get it. That means that if I use them in root (hd1,0) I'll still setup the debian grub, right? So I need to use ubuntu's on hd0,1, right? [19:46] :) [19:47] dimi3: stage1 is on your MBR (usually), it points to a stage 2 (which is the stuff in /boot/grub) [19:47] wiz_works: as of now that outputs nil [19:48] Anyone have anyidea on how to debug a bluetooth ppp tethering issue? Can't figure out what should be in my PPP script or why what I do have is giving an error cause its only outputing "ERROR" [19:48] lejon: all i did was install the system then rebooted and got the crc error [19:48] Ienorand: if the drivers for the card are loaded, it SHOULD return something... could it be that the atheros/madwifi drivers aren't loaded? [19:48] Flannel: So what should I do - I want the ubuntu's grub cause I think it'll add the entries for the debian system.. or I'll add them manually later :) however I want the look and deel [19:48] unclemike, did you verify the cd before you installed and did you burn on the lowest speed possible?

[19:49] <_sourcemaker> tuxboy666: but I have already a open session local in kde.. can I start a second remote? [19:49] dimi3: You want to follow the instructions on the first link of the !grub factoid, and make sure you point it to your Ubuntu /boot/grub partition [19:50] hello. my friend has plugged in 2 monitors, only 1 works. he is hoping for extended desktop. he has got ati radeon card with "radeon" driver [19:50] unclemike, that can damage important files, remember to ALWAYS when burning system disks to burn at the lowest speed possible to prevent damage to the files [19:50] Is there a know problem with wifi and not being able to logout?

[19:57] thundarr: you need to edit /etc/samba/smb.conf after you've installed samba [19:57] sharperguy: and did you have some additional plugins in the older FF that carried across? [19:57] :> [19:57] sharperguy, I'm fine, try deleting the flash plugin with Firefox closed [19:57] Flannel: I have it - the real problem is that I really use cd /boot not cd /mnt/grub.. [19:57] I have to load the smb config files first [19:57] then let Firefox reinstall it [19:57] wiz_works: /etc/motd is a symlink, try /var/run/motd [19:57] so what is the command to load the files [19:57] ok, whats the command to create a partition from terminal?

[19:58] guhnoille yes I could share the public folder [19:58] LtL: as root too [19:58] dimi3: What do you have inside of /boot/grub/ then? [19:58] Scunizi, tuxboy666, well I only installed plugins from the repos (and possible medibuntu) [19:58] Hi all,... i can only hear sound with the root account,... how do i allow an other user do use sound ? [19:58] guhnoille I would not have a problem with sharing that or any files [19:58] (I have no GUI) [19:58] but my personal experience is Firefox 2.0.0.14 has alot of crash bugs and 3 runs great for me [19:58] wiz_works: hrm, i''ve fixed mine, can't recall how/where. [19:58] !paste [19:58] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [19:58] sharperguy: what you might try after shutting down FF is "mv ~/.mozilla ~/.mozilla.back" then restart FF.. and see if that does the trick.. if you have lots of bookmarks etc.. back them up before the copy [19:58] soulchild, give em the permission for it? Maybe have to have access to sound group? [19:59] How is it that Firestarter and my router say X port is open, but aMule says i have low id? [19:59] wiz_works: In /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh there is a section related to the MOTD under: # Update motd [19:59] that plugin failed for me for some reason in Firefox3, sharper guy. apt-get remove --purge it, che3ck the plugibns folder for traces, then let FF install it [19:59] Scunizi, ok, ill try it [19:59] wiz_works: iirc, maybe /etc/motd.tail or something [19:59] see if that helps [19:59] sharperguy: fixed me up and made FF3.x faster too. [19:59] lejon: how do i add a user in sound group ? [19:59] QUILz: nice one. [19:59] lejon: i am in console mode only [20:00] soulchild, with chmod [20:00] hi! how do i install build-essentials from the Hardy Heron CD?

[20:00] lejon: can u give me more infos [20:00] soulchild, I am unsure of the terminal command actually, I think its chmod but I am not sure, that might be only for files [20:00] i need some help on ssh, i have installed all the correct stuff for xp sshing. from hardy i am trying to ssh into my own xp from my vbox hardy. but it keeps asking for a password i do not have no password installed on the account i am trying to ssh into so i made one but same thing i enter it right but sayes permision denied ..

I've got a problem. Sometimes all fonts in Gnome are suddenly disappearing being replaced with cube symbols. Like the fonts are missing. Also the title bar of metacity is getting really thin and some programs are segfaulting. I also see some icon corruption. Programs like xterm are working fine (no missing fonts). Any idea? [20:01] Flannel: Yes I am [20:01] NinoScript: sorry.. sudo apt-get install build-essential [20:01] dimi3: Alright, do sudo update-grub [20:01] dimi3: see if it creates a menu.lst [20:01] soulchild, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=73885 read that thread, it has a section bout chown and chmod [20:01] Scunizi: that's what i did [20:02] No GRUB directory found.. I am using the livecd option.. [20:02] hey guys i just accidentally apt-get removed a package that was a dependency for a ton of other things. i think i installed most of the things back, but i still get a list of packages that can be auto-removed when i use apt-get, so i think i missed a few. [20:02] lejon: thank you [20:02] Scunizi: but it gives me some 404 errors [20:02] Hi... i'm trying to use me-tv but it needs a channels.conf, which i cannot create since my signal comes from multiple locations. Any ideas? Kaffeine finds about 60 channels but me-tv gets about 10... [20:02] is there a way to check what i'm missing...? [20:02] soulchild, No problem [20:02] Doug_-_-_-_: did you try to ssh into your winxp from itself? [20:02] Flannel: so grub-install /dev/sda or /dev/sda1 [20:02] Scunizi: maybe from cd is easier i think? [20:02] QUILz: thanks! found it! I think that will do the trick! Lemme reboot and try it. Thanks much! [20:02] NinoScript: that means you're not making a connection to where ever it's trying to go.. it might not be on the cd..

[20:03] sharperguy, the plugins folder you want to check after the purge is /home/user/.mozilla/firefox/plugins [20:03] Flannel: it didn't [20:03] basy - run your own jabber server. [20:03] tuxboy666, yeah [20:03] dimi3: ah. that's why. I thought about some other problems I've got. [20:04] Flannel: update-grub gives No GRUB directory found. To create a t.... So I guess grub-install but I wonder about the options [20:04] I downloaded the eclipse-cdt package to do C development, but I have no idea how to use it/start it [20:04] I hope personally open source flash works good one day [20:04] Doug_-_-_-_: before trying to ssh from linux, try from win, just to make sure it works here [20:04] : thanks , is there any tutorial?

I have an XP disk if I decide I want windows for any reason, but I'm not really interested in windows. I just want Hardy on my machine. [20:08] dimi3: then try something different than (hd0,0) [20:09] jterzol: the root partition of ubuntu should be sda1.. so that means hd0,1 [20:09] matthew_: just go on manual partitioning if you're using the LiveCD and delete every partition you see. [20:09] Vista is what pushed me to full time on Linux matthew_ :P [20:09] dimi3: do you have a separate /boot partition? [20:09] anybody here, who can help me with a real hard problem with apt-get (might also be a network problem) [20:09] matthew_, thats how i made the move to nix windows pissed me off for the last time so i deleted everything so i had no choice but to learn [20:09] matthew_: then setup some partitions for Linux. Generally a / and a /home will do. [20:09] what is the recommended way of burning a 700 meg avi file onto a dvd playable in a dvd player? [20:10] Lucky67: just describe the problem; also, if no help here, then try ubuntu forums [20:10] jterzol: no, the boot folder is in the root partition [20:10] danielRM: just to clarify...I run the partitioner from the live cd then restart and click "largest continuous free space" [20:10] !dvd | pierce [20:10] pierce: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs [20:10] dimi3: root in GRUB means the partition where it will look for its files. It is not necessarily the root of your Linux install [20:10] is there a linux package that supports unsupported graphics tablets >.< [20:10] am i able to change how the calendar in my panel displays the first day of the week? [20:10] dimi3: okay [20:10] I dual boot XP still for the rare occasion I want to play a game that bad [20:10] XP hasn't been booted for over a year [20:10] bobstro [20:10] ompaul: I'm not playing or ripping, I'm burning a dvd [20:10] matthew_: no, that'll leave everything else you still have on, including Windows and... what, a borked Ubuntu? I assume you had a problem? [20:11] tuxboy666: I booted my XP today. Its quite good game console. [20:11] jterzol: I could do another install of ubuntu - and pay more attention on the menus.. but I don't know what went wrong [20:11] spideyman, that's what I'm going for right now [20:11] pierce: in synaptic there is a package called devede that is very good at authoring dvd's [20:11] dimi3: hmm, sda1 is (hd0,0) by the way ;) [20:11] dimi3: grub starts counting from 0 [20:11] rephrasing: am i able to change which day my calendar displays as the first day of the week instead of sunday? [20:11] legend2440: awesome, thanks [20:11] jterzol: I left the grub on hd0.. and / was the first partition there [20:11] in the live CD if you're borked, you could do a mount /dev/hdax /your/directory [20:11] danielrm, no real problem, it's just windows is a memory hog and it steals space on my hard drive. [20:11] then you can even modify files that are borked [20:11] hello selk [20:11] matthew_, sink or swim i always say [20:11] dimi3: so try the following: [20:12] matthew_: then basically just start the LiveCD installer, get through to partitioning, and then choose manual partitioning. [20:12] isn't there, like, a program that I can make a boot cd that wipes the drive? [20:12] I have problems with to get the ATI hardware acceleration working in HArdy. Can someone help me please? [20:12] dimi3: root (hd0,0) [20:12] matthew_: the Ultimate Boot CD has Darik's Boot and Nuke. [20:12] matthew_: which can erase the entire drive. [20:12] matthew_: but it's easier just to wipe the partitions. [20:12] you might do a chown chgrp to avoid having to sudo everything [20:12] dimi3: setup (hd0) [20:13] safe to do that from live cd [20:13] jterzol: I get Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition... [20:13] danielrm I just ran dban and it "ended with non-fatal errors" basically did nothing. Last time I deleted a hard disk I used window wiper or something I can't remember the name. [20:13] dimi3: hmm, looks like something is wrong with your device mappings [20:13] matthew_: odd. If you're using a LiveCD then you could just do this: [20:14] I have a hard problem: I try "sudo apt-get update" and the download is stuck (I use de "archive.ubuntu.com"); last line is: "99% [2 Translation-de bzip2 0]" [20:14] matthew_: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ [20:14] are the servers overlaoded?

[20:16] hi. Does anyone here use screenlets? i'm interested in a weather screenlet. Have some of them but they asked to provide a zip code but i can't provide one, because i'm not from US. Can anyone give any advice?

I dual boot Ubuntu and Windows but also have Mandriva installed. I have some files saved on a FAT32 partition but they were put there when I was "in Ubuntu." Mandriva now has problems accessing those files. Is there an easy way of "not applying permissions" to files saved, just like it would be if I saved them from Windows?

[20:23] I got a broadcom driver [20:24] right now his driver is "iwl3945" as networkmanager says it [20:24] !wireless > fsufitch the bot can tell ya here [20:24] but it's bad idea to seperate the inf.

I dual boot Ubuntu and Windows but also have Mandriva installed. I have some files saved on a FAT32 partition but they were put there when I was "in Ubuntu." Mandriva now has problems accessing/deleting those files (permissions). Is there an easy way of "not applying permissions" to files saved, just like it would be if I saved them from Windows? === yoyoma is now known as rubixmaster [20:25] it might not be 4945.. but its intels wireless n chip [20:25] Anyone with a Sil 3114 controller and a Raid 0 working? [20:25] make it accessable by using groups. The Linux group system should take care of it [20:26] Make what accessible? The partition? [20:26] like have your users for each Linux system in the same group [20:26] addchild; you would hav to install the driver [20:26] yes [20:26] if my base OS is linux, can i dual boot linux/ xp ? [20:27] yes [20:27] meh: thats ok, just gimme the model, and an email addy [20:27] Can't I just make it so anything I save to a particular partition doesn't have permissions applied? [20:27] but you'll need to reinstall grub [20:27] pub yes. but you'll have to reinstall grub [20:27] http://www.belkin.com/support/article/?lid=en&pid=F5D8073&aid=8341&scid=942 [20:27] Bill borks your bootloader, but it's easy to fix [20:27] does that mean i lose everything i've done in linux [20:27] no [20:27] pub do you want to do that just to run games? if no games then use vmware server [20:27] xenomorph99: FAT partitions don't support permissions.

I'm connected with my lan cable to the internet. But i have a wireless router + USB flash disk to put into my computers usb to get online. With windows i don't have any troubles with it. But with ubuntu i cannot use my flash disk. Can somebody help me to install my internet? [20:28] at least Ubuntu is nice enough to detect and list xp when it overwrites Bill's bootloader [20:28] u need the 64 bit driver [20:28] pub.. then your stuck.. I'll research how to reinstall grub first [20:28] my email is studd_oo@yahoo.com [20:28] Is there some way I can configure the sudo password save period? FOr instance, I use sudo, type my password. Type it again and it doesn't prompt me. Type it a few minutes later it prompts me again [20:28] Well, that's what I thought (FAT has no permissions) but I have dumped some files to a FAT32 partition and, when I try to delete them from Mandriva, it says I don't have the right permissions [20:28] But if I become root, I can [20:28] I assume u know how to get the .inf file [20:29] ghostknife: yes but you'd be giving up lots of security.. not recommended.

[20:29] (non gui) [20:29] addchild; yes [20:29] i do not have internet access right now :-( [20:29] is it broadcom chipset? [20:29] atheros [20:29] tj13820: install the restricted drivers for server.

I don't want to have to be a particular user to be able to manipulate these files [20:30] the wiki should say which driver works for it [20:30] xenomorph99: I mean uid or gid set in the partition's mount options [20:30] Scunizi: no, no GUI, i'm trying to install the driver to get a connection to install Ubuntu desktop [20:30] !wireless [20:30] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [20:30] addchild; thank you [20:30] hi, can someone explain to me why the kernel config files of ubuntu kernels have sound disabled (and sometimes other deviating settings)?

I don't have the partitions set up in fstab. I normally 'mount them on demand' via the places->remote places system [20:30] it gives the pros and cons of each driver, as well, if multiple drivers work [20:30] some web pages arent displaying properly even though i have java and flash installed. For example: http://www.mitsucars.com/MMNA/jsp/evo/08/index.do?loc=en-us . Can someone help me get this working? [20:30] Scunizi: thank you for looking into it. [20:31] is there a way i can use remote desktop viewer in hardy to connect to a xp box? [20:31] I also don't have them set up in fstab in Mandriva [20:31] Doug_-_-_-_: use VNC [20:31] gah I have hosed my windows chainloader [20:31] so grub can see it, it points to the right partition, but goes blank on boot [20:31] Hello, i have some trubble to install Steam(counter-strike1.6) anyone who can help me with it, pleace PM me. [20:31] Doug_-_-_-_: install tightvnc server on the windows box and use vnc viewer to view it [20:31] I was hoping just to use these FAT partitions as "dump areas" [20:31] tj13820: sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-18-server... hopefully [20:31] sothe: Have you tried #winehq ? [20:32] ok, will do [20:32] tj13820: if it's not on the cd you'll have to download it with another machine and carry it across with a usb stick or something. [20:32] Scunizi: i'm using 8.04 === TheMaver1ck` is now known as TheMaverick` [20:33] i tried installing ubuntu on my dell laptop on a second partition (i've got arch linux on the first) but Ubiquity only shows /dev/sda (won't show me the partitions). does anyone know how i can just install it the seperate partition? [20:33] tj13820: that's for 8.04 and the -18 kernel.. if you have a different kernel substitute the -18 at the end with the appropriate number.. you'll see which one on the boot menu [20:34] tj13820: it might be 16 or 17 .... 16 probably if you haven't been able to do any updates yet. [20:34] ompaul: the wifidocs aren't being helpful [20:34] it said couldnt find package [20:34] they're telling me how to update stuff, but i can't find why my wep is down [20:34] you have to make more probably try gparted [20:34] !who | tuxboy666 [20:34] tuxboy666: As you can see, this is a large channel.

Maybe I need to ask this a different way...Can I just apply a "don't care who the owner of these items is' to all the files in a partition ? [20:37] OK should a get a new network password from the administrator? [20:38] Telroth|Sleep: http://paste.ubuntu.com/20200/ [20:38] !chown | xenomorph99 [20:38] xenomorph99: what filesystem? [20:38] xenomorph99, to what extent? disable permissions and give you acecss to everything? [20:38] lol xenomorph69 that feature is really for your security. Just set the permission for the group you put both owners in [20:38] once you get the hang of it, it will be easy [20:38] FAT32.

[20:39] e.g. Mandriva. I don't care what the security is on them [20:39] Good evening ^^ [20:39] xenomorph99: you can't use chown/chmod, you need to set the appropriate options in your fstab (see ubottu) [20:39] how do i port them with a usb drive [20:39] ? [20:39] whik.. yes.. but if we told you we'd have to mangle your system [20:39] But suppose I don't want to mount the partition in fstab? [20:39] xenomorph99: then you are out of luck [20:39] lol k then [20:39] Very flexible this Linux ;-) [20:40] jrib, he can because he just wants a common storage partition [20:40] is there a file that i can manually set the screen resolution from? - my top res is 800x600 [20:40] not a parition the OS runs from [20:40] tuxboy666: how then? [20:40] qualcuno ha fantasie su cugina [20:40] Yes, that's what I want. Just a partition to dump files on. [20:40] Without any permissions applied [20:40] Scunizi" how do i install the driver with a usb drive? [20:40] user4363: have you enabled your restricted drivers? [20:40] Telroth|Sleep: any ideas? [20:40] as I said, each owner will have the sanme group from each OS [20:40] !wlan [20:40] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [20:40] xenomorph99: then why don't you use ext3... [20:40] say just clowns for argument [20:40] i've installe ati drivers with the help of envy [20:40] Because I want to use FAT32 so I access it from Windows [20:40] xenomorph99: Then it's a strange bug, because mounting from remote devices should set uid/gid to yours for FAT partitions [20:40] i have a problem when trying to load Ubuntu it drops to Busybox v1.1.3 .... does that mean its incompatable with that machine or is it a problem that can be fixed? [20:41] xenomorph99: you can access ext3 from windows [20:41] tj13820: you'd download the package to the usb on another machine and carry it across to the other machine and then just double click on it.. it should be a .deb file. [20:41] I want to use FAT32 [20:41] then each user from each distro gets put in clowns. Partition was set by owner to be readable by clowns [20:41] how do we install python on ubuntu? or is it preinstalled somewhere [20:41] I don't want to use the flaky ext3 driver that takes 3 hours to mount the partitions [20:41] Or did last time I tried it [20:41] Scunizi:i can't double click, no GUI [20:41] xenomorph99: that's fine. But it doesn't support permissions and you are going to have to change default behavior for your "don't care who the owner is" behavior [20:41] whik: sudo apt-get install python ? [20:41] ill try [20:41] daedra, I don't see anything wrong with your menu.lst, the only thing I can suggest is restoring the windows loader and then reinstalling grub. [20:41] tj13820: sorry I forgot.. do a man dpkg for instructions for cli [20:42] How do you mean? [20:42] xenomorph99: I mean fstab is the easy way for you to take care of this [20:42] I installed LAMP on Ubuntu Desktop, but there's no www-data user... or is it supposed to be ran as root? [20:42] Telroth|Sleep: how do I restore the windows loader? [20:42] is there a way to increase my swap ? [20:43] Then I have to mess about with UUIDs and I can't be bothered. I just want an easy way to dump files onto a partition where I don't have to mess about with _anything_. Is that at all possible? [20:43] Kakurady: there should be a www-data group that apache runs as if you installed from the repositories [20:43] I have a 2GB of ram and it's only using 700mb [20:43] noone knows if there is something to search PDF files in linux? [20:43] Kakurady: I think it resides in /var/www or /etc/www can't remember [20:43] Hi people [20:43] huh it says its at the newest version but i dont see it under anything [20:43] It's /var/www/ [20:44] whik do you have a gui? check synaptic and search for python.. you'll get lots of referances. [20:44] afallenhope use sysctl.conf to reduce swapping behaviour. Try vm.swappiness=0 in the file then do in terminal "sudo sysctl -p" or better yet, reboot [20:44] i have a tgz file for it on my desktop [20:44] whik: type python in a terminal :) [20:44] xenomorph99: you realize this stuff is a one-time thing? Instead of spending your time trying to avoid it, you could have been finished already! [20:44] whik: better to get it from synaptic and the repos then from some other place. [20:44] meh: where did you want that INF file? === tolecnal_ is now known as tolecnal [20:44] Kakurady, do this: ps auwx | grep apach [20:45] Scunizi: it's in the /var/www [20:45] i got it right of the python main site [20:45] Scunizi, Synaptic is best [20:45] Scunizi: what would the path to a USB drive be so i can CD to it?

I can't believe I'm the first person to want to dump some files to a partition and have absolutely no permissions applied to those files so anyone could access them from any other OS [20:45] Does anyone know a good front-end to iptables? [20:45] ahh I misread. I thou8ght you wanted the kernel to use more RAM [20:45] Hello [20:45] Is it a normal thing if a file copied with "cp -p" see his privileges changed to 777-root:root .... [20:45] is there a way to restrict ubuntu's nfs-kernel-server to NFSv3 or below? [20:46] tj13820: try cd /media then "ls" to see what's in there.. it might be listed as usb.. so the path would be /media/usb [20:46] the swap partition is how big now? [20:46] ompaul: Thanks, the www-data user is there, but it does not show up in Users and Groups. [20:46] okay [20:46] tj13820: I'll check mine [20:46] Scunizi: ty [20:46] Kakurady, ;-) [20:46] xenomorph99: if you wait until you login and then mount the partitions as your user, it "just works" [20:46] Scunizi, there r exceptions, mainly when you get it from another repo like medibuntu; there you just add the repo; the way with synaptic, all ur apps are updated if updates r avalible [20:46] I need help with my screen [20:46] .net [20:46] I am having trouble getting a network install over NFS to work and need some insight into what's going wrong, but ethereal can't decode NFSv4 [20:46] But when I boot into Mandriva, I'm not the same user [20:46] stupid question... if you can see this message just respond with yes. [20:46] mehehool [20:46] I have just installed ubuntu and i cant configure my 2 screens [20:46] m_newton: you're speaking to the choir here. [20:46] theshadow: yes [20:46] Are you saying I need to set the same UID in Mandriva as I have in Ubuntu? [20:46] xenomorph99: so? [20:46] sayotte: ty [20:47] someone can help my? [20:47] Scunizi, or when the package is not avalible in repos, but that usually means that it is not testes [20:47] Well, I want to be able to switch between Ubuntu and Mandriva and manipulate the dumped files [20:47] xenomorph99: fat32 isn't aware of UIDs [20:47] afallenhope you could resize it via gparted in a Live session, but if not all swap is even close to being used, try increasing vm.swappiness instead of setting a low number like 0 [20:47] Scunizi, what? [20:47] So what prevents me from deleting those files from Mandriva ? [20:47] xenomorph99: When you boot into a user in Mandriva and mount the FAT partition, it should mount it with your permissions. If it then it's probably a bug [20:47] xenomorph99: nothing [20:47] Unless I am root in Mandriva [20:47] But it prevents me [20:47] tj13820: it will be /media/sd"x""number" try several if there are several. [20:47] helloo [20:47] hey all [20:47] xenomorph99: ask the mandriva channel [20:47] m_newton: you're telling me things I've already told others.. but thanks anyway [20:48] daedra, the only way I know of is very roundabout: You need a copy of the windows 95 or windows 98 version of fdisk. fdisk /mbr will rebuild the windows bootloader for you [20:48] is there a way I can put a program in the background if I know its PID?? [20:48] So, if I go and dump some files from Mandriva and Ubuntu can't access them, I can come back and ask the same question again? [20:48] Can someone tell me how to preserve ownership of a file with the cp command ? [20:48] Scunizi, oh, srry, just entered after pm ing a guy [20:48] ActionParsnip: within the shell you launched it from, ctrl-z, then "bg" [20:48] xenomorph99: Ubuntu should be able to access them [20:48] xenomorph99: it depends how the OS decides to mount the partition. On Ubuntu, if you wait until you login, then mount it, you'll have permissions [20:48] Excelsi0r: cp -p [20:48] sayotte: cool :) [20:48] daedra, if you have a windows computer you can access and floppy drives in both computers, then go to bootdisk.com to get a copy of the 98 boot disk, else you'll just need to search around [20:48] tj13820: like cd /media/sdb1 or cd /media/sdb2 or cd /media/sdc1 etc. [20:48] Scunizi, well convey the message, I am going to eat [20:49] OK, can I just explain how I use this partition? [20:49] just help me! [20:49] m_newton: :) [20:49] ActionParsnip: the shell commands like that operate on "jobs" rather than PIDs though [20:49] doh, he left [20:49] ok, my question has long since scrolled off the top so I'll repeat it: [20:49] is there a way to restrict ubuntu's nfs-kernel-server to NFSv3 or below? [20:49] I am having trouble getting a network install over NFS to work and need some insight into what's going wrong, but ethereal can't decode NFSv4 [20:49] LtL: It's not working, my files got privileges 777 owned by root, even with the -p [20:49] how do i configure my two screens to work???

[20:50] bash: xorg: orden no encontrada [20:50] tj13820: any luck? [20:50] I boot into Ubuntu. I don't have the partition set up in fstab. It's a FAT32 partition. I dump files onto it. I then later want to manipulate these files from Mandriva or Windows (or Ubuntu). I then boot into Windows. Windows doesn't give a monkeys about the permissions so I can do what I like. I then boot into Mandriva which I installed after Ubuntu. Without being root, I can't then delete files on that partition. It says I don [20:50] it does not work [20:50] sayotte: the NFS version is decided in the NFS client/server config not really the kernel all the kernel does is give NFS support so you can mount the NFS filesystem [20:51] Scunizi: not yet, can't find a .deb madwifi driver [20:51] xenomorph99: yes that's because you don't have permissions [20:51] xenomorph99: that is a mandriva issue. It's choosing to mount the partition without giving you permissions [20:51] So FAT32 does support partitions now? [20:51] permissions, not partitions [20:51] tj13820: search for the previous package name I gave you.. get that whole package. [20:51] meh: did you want that INF?

[20:51] l [20:51] Hi, I'm having a problem with the wireless on my laptop. It refuses to connect to my network. It detects the networks, asks me for the passkey and tries to connect, but never actually connects. I have another laptop that seems to connect find and the wireless also works okay on Windows. Any ideas? [20:51] Scunizi: which one? [20:51] how do i configure my two screens to work in their resolutions? [20:51] kitche: right so the "client/server" config--- the client here is a network install kernel which would be non-trivial to force into NFSv3 or below [20:51] Telroth|Sleep: ok thanks [20:51] tj13820: I'll look it up again. [20:51] Scunizi: ndiswrapper [20:51] OK, go ahead [20:52] kitche: I was hoping to configure the server half [20:52] and "nfs-kernel-server" is a package including both userland and kernel apps [20:52] what are shadow passwords? [20:52] errr [20:52] sayotte: umm not sure why you keep bringing up kernel since the kernel has nothing to do with it [20:52] tj13820: sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-18-server... hopefully [20:52] Scunizi: ahh [20:52] that one [20:52] * Codexs está away; Far away... - site[n/a] email[none@none] uin[none] log[on] pager[off] -=[Cyber]=- [20:52] sayotte: it's the NFS config files [20:52] xenomorph99: the OS sets permissions when you mount it. The OS decides the permissions to give the files without any information from the fat32 filesystem. Your easy solution is to edit your fstab on mandriva. Ask the mandriva channel for a better way if you need one [20:52] it was never restricted in previous installs. [20:52] kitche: nfs-kernel-server is a package, it encompasses botht he kernel module and the userland nfsd [20:53] tj13820: it is a specific one for the server.. I had issues on gutsy because it didn't exist.. hardy included it. [20:53] kitche: ok do you know where the NFS config files are? [20:53] jrib: there's posixovl which mounts on top of fat to store unix permissions [20:53] OK. Now we've established that, I'll ask the question again [20:53] cjk2: not by default? [20:53] When the network connects it defines one dns that doesnt connect me to nothing. Although, if i change the dns to the dns of my server it works. When I restart, i lose the previous settings. I put the dns on the dhclient.conf and nothing happened. I set the dns with the network-config program and no change have been made. Does anyone can help me? [20:53] jrib: "by default:? [20:54] cjk2: never mind, I see what you mean [20:54] sayotte: on Ubuntu no [20:54] If the OS sets the permissions, how can I remove those permissions for those files OR tell the OS NOT to apply permissions to certain files ?

[20:54] kitche: looks like there's an /etc/default/nfs-kernel-server [20:54] xenomorph99: you can't as far as I know. You can set permissions on the whole partition in your fstab [20:55] Excelsi0r: does it need a capital "P" [20:55] bye [20:55] though I'm having trouble finding the relevant man page [20:55] shoulda looked there sooner [20:55] Excelsi0r: it does. [20:55] xenomorph99, if that creates issues for you I will be surprised if you want to use ext3 then you should have the same user:group and possibly UID set for both sides to be happy (I know this is needed for NFS but the uid might not need to be the same for fat) [20:55] Excelsi0r: well cp -p does not perserve permissions but does perserve user id and group id among other things [20:55] Excelsi0r: my mistake, i thought it was -p, man cp.

Last time I tried the driver that accessed ext2 or 3, I ended up with a world of pain in extended log on times etc in Windows as it mounted these partitions [20:56] xenomorph99: ext3 can be access easily from windows as well if you load the ext3 driver.

I can't remember which one I use to use but it was pretty quick [20:57] xenomorph99: that doesn't happen here. Try a different driver as there are many for windows [20:58] Excelsi0r: we were just talkin about vfat and permissions...

My flash playback is kindof broken. I can't play any flash videos in firefox nor epiphany, on youtube nor google video nor anything flashy. Could there be a fix for this? [21:01] after i suspend my laptop with pm-suspend, it takes a _long_ time to come back when i turn it on again [21:01] Why would I unmount them non-cleanly? I power down the machine and/or use the places->removable media in Ubuntu [21:02] I don't yank the plug out of the wall [21:02] tobias i had that same problem [21:02] does your music player like rythmbox no longer play music? [21:02] So, can't you just use chown to change a file owner to 'no one and I don't care who accesses it' ? [21:02] addchild what do u mean did u not get my email address [21:02] xenomorph99: yes [21:02] whik, no, "solid" media does play [21:03] Evenin' to all, bye [21:03] Then isn't that going to be the easiest way to solve my problem ? [21:03] tobias: flash and firefox 3rc2 dont get along very well in linux. Make sure all media players and programs using sound are closed before opening firefox [21:03] xenomorph99: I think so.. [21:03] k go to system prefrences then sound [21:03] xenomorph99, try it, I imagine it will fail as chown will not work with nonexistant users [21:03] OK, I'll try that. I sort of asked that earlier and was told I couldn't do that [21:03] and change them all to i think its amas [21:04] xenomorph99, you could however do this rwxrwxrwx on a directory below the mount point [21:04] join #ubuntu-fr [21:04] my microphone doesnt work anymore [21:04] addchild314, well, the wierd thing is I do get sound and visual, but for a few seconds then the video hangs [21:04] Hmm. On the chown wiki thing, it says not to set the owner to nobody [21:04] me revoila... [21:04] when i put the sudo commands i get error: sudo: unable to resolve host sun-pc [21:04] ompaul: for xenomorph99 benefit .. can't you make the entire partition usable by everyone from any system like a NAS? [21:04] avec mon GPU toujours à 70°C [21:04] ompaul: Yes, I suppose that would work, too [21:04] my microphone doesnt work anymore, i added all the possible sliders and unmuted everything etc, but nothing helps [21:04] Scunizi, and my last suggestion was almost do that [21:04] it worked fine a while ago [21:05] addchild314 did u not get my email address [21:05] ompaul: missed it sorry [21:05] alors que je viens de forcer le ventilo a 5500 trs/min [21:05] whik, there now [21:05] mehehool: need it again [21:05] Scunizi, well I did say _almost_ [21:05] xenomorph99: new files you create won't be 777 though [21:05] The trouble with that, though, is that when I dump new files on there, I have to keep changing the permissions. [21:05] list [21:05] Yes, exactly. Which comes back to using fstab [21:05] I suppose [21:05] Tobias96: i had to uninstall all flash packages with Synaptic, then reinstall with firefox. That fixed that problem for me [21:05] CircleCode: wrong channel :-) [21:06] try this one mehehool@yahoo.com [21:06] xenomorph99: if you use fat32, yes. If you use ext3, you either set up the users on the different operatinig systems with the same uid or you use ACLs [21:06] addchild314 try this one mehehool@yahoo.com [21:06] does it play now tobias? [21:06] bluk: yep, I saw it... sorry [21:07] whik, could you call me "Tobias92" so IRC highlights the message? I think I missed your actual instruction [21:07] my microphone doesnt work anymore, i added all the possible sliders and unmuted everything etc, but nothing helps [21:07] any suggestions? [21:07] OK, when I install Ubuntu, it makes a decent job of populating fstab. However, suppose I mess around with my partitions by adding or deleting, then I may get some new partitions (obviously). Is there a way of getting the fstab file to be automatically rebuilt ? [21:07] mehehool: its going [21:07] Or, if I add a new HDD, for example [21:07] Tobias92 k go to system then preferences [21:08] whik, there now. [21:08] Otherwise, do I have to find out which UUIDs match which partitions and do it by hand ? [21:08] What program can encode and burn avi to svcd? [21:08] Tobias92 then change them all to amas [21:08] does anyone know what the command is to export an entire keyring from one computer to another over a network?

[21:09] Tobias92 sorry its Alsa [21:09] whik, but I do get sound, only for a few seconds [21:09] addchild314 ok ill check soon [21:09] Hi, have a little problem. I'm using an old nvidea gforce fx 5200 video card, but when i use screen resolution 1024 x 768 everything is fuzzy, but when i use 800x600 its too big?

I've got HH, sound card integrated VIA. I tried with PulseAudio, but no resault [21:23] tuniX12; skorzen --can I reclaim that space? [21:24] hello my friends [21:24] Hi, I'm a ubuntu AND a linux newbie..I just got a Dell Inspiron 1420 with ubuntu installed and after doing updates, the sound stopped working.. It seems that my ALSA doesn't work as I get lots of error messages when trying anything ALSA related..can anyone help please? [21:24] I am Adriano, from Brazil, this my first time here... [21:24] matthew_: try searching for an option in your bios. if it doesn't work, come here and we'll see [21:24] olá adriano [21:25] in addition, integrated mic works, but external doesn't (external is marked in alsa) [21:25] Olá Skorzen [21:25] Looking for help setting up an unsupported graphics tablet with Wacom drivers (Adesso) <.< [21:25] where are u from ? [21:25] eu sou português [21:25] matthew_: you need to dlash bios [21:25] Portugal [21:25] I have two HDDs; one is SATA and the other is IDE. Both get reported as being 'sdx' by Ubuntu but they get reported as hda and sda in Mandriva. Is this just a limitation of Ubuntu? Also, they have a habit of swapping around irrespective of the order being set in the Bios. Is this something peculiar to Gigabyte motherboards? [21:25] Can someone please help me get websites to display properly? although i have flash and java installed, i am still having some issues. [21:25] matthew_: flash bios [21:25] K^Holtz: what kind of issues? [21:25] xenomorph99: that's libata, all drives show up as sd* if it's enabled [21:25] !pt [21:25] Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [21:25] but it's risqued [21:26] jrib: Do I need to turn that off then ? [21:26] Skorzen: im not exactly sure why but this specific website wont load up for me, http://www.socalevo.net/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=37&topic=61533.0 [21:26] xenomorph99: no, why? [21:26] tunix12; could I get more info. I'm still pretty new, I was just sick of windows [21:26] Skorzen: im sorry, that wasnt the site, let me get it [21:26] because I sort of expected them to be reported as Mandriva sees them. [21:26] K^Holtz: ok [21:27] Skorzen: http://www.mitsucars.com/MMNA/jsp/evo/08/index.do?loc=en-us ... im not sure if its flash or what [21:27] where is the partition manager, I'm not sure why I can't find it [21:27] Does libata 'swap them around', too ? [21:27] matthew_: you bios does not recognize big hdd i guess your pc is old (?) [21:27] matthew_: gparted? [21:27] xenomorph99: what's the difference really? [21:27] I'd like some games to ubuntu 8, [21:27]  Hi, I'm a ubuntu AND a linux newbie..I just got a Dell Inspiron 1420 with ubuntu installed and after doing updates, the sound stopped working.. It seems that my ALSA doesn't work as I get lots of error messages when trying anything ALSA related..can anyone help please? [21:27] tunix12 I just got it in april [21:27] K^Holtz: i can see it [21:27] matthew_ Be aware that flashing the bios has a small probabliltiy of turning your computr into a doorstop.. If you dont heed that extra 20 gigs yet. It might be wise to put off flashing the bios until you really need that space [21:27] Because one is IDE and one isn't [21:28] some people can tell me... about wars games ? [21:28] And if they had the same partitions, I wouldn't know which was which necessarily [21:28] Skorzen: i figured it would just be an issue for me, do u have any idea why? [21:28] !ot > adriano [21:28] K^Holtz: try the flashplugin-nonfree package and also msttcore-fonts may help [21:28] skorzen, yes. Jack sparrow, thanks looks like it's what I'm going to have to do, I'm not into killing my computer [21:28] my microphone doesnt work anymore, i added all the possible sliders and unmuted everything etc, but nothing helps [21:28] I was wondering if ubuntu had issues with mounting NTFS partitions over a certain size... I've been having troubles trying to get my external drive to mount properly, it displays the drive but when I try to access it, it says that it was unable to mount... [21:28] any suggestions? [21:28] Skorzen: im pretty sure i have those installed. Let me double check [21:28] hey i'm having issues connecting to windows shares on 8.04 [21:29] hmm is there a way to run Adobe flash CS3 pro without wine or duel booting? [21:29] Skorzen: yep, i have both [21:29] matthew_: as Jack_Sparrow said you should be careful [21:29] K^Holtz: which browser are you using? [21:29] I did sudo xrandr -s 1024x768 but didnt fix fuzzyness. [21:29] hi Jack_Sparrow [21:29] Skorzen: FF 3 [21:30] Anyone has used dmraid on a ntfs partition? [21:30] K^Holtz: downgrading ff may help, i don't know... [21:30] xenomorph99: hd* is old, sd* is the new linux, get used to UUIDs and such :) Set labels if you need to differentiate between partitions [21:30] K^Holtz: it's named msttcorefonts [21:30]  Hi, I'm a ubuntu AND a linux newbie..I just got a Dell Inspiron 1420 with ubuntu installed and after doing updates, the sound stopped working.. It seems that my ALSA doesn't work as I get lots of error messages when trying anything ALSA related..can anyone help please? [21:30] LtL: yea, thats what i have [21:30] xenomorph99 mixing ide and sata has been a issue for awhile.. not to mention it seems to slow down some peoples systems to the speed of the slowest drive.. although I have not personally seen it.. but I dont mix ide and sata [21:30] What application(s) can i use to access files on my CEllphone? [21:30] Tunix12; I'm okay with leaving it as is, I guess. I was just looking forward to having most of my hdd available as opposed to being hogged by a dormant windows OS [21:31] Skorzen: i guess ur not using 3.0 ? [21:31] Hi! one question: what's /boot/abi-2.6.24-18-generic for? [21:31] Skorzen: here is another example, the virtual tours will load, but i cannot switch between them http://www.princetonatbostonroad.com/Apartments/module/virtual_tours/ [21:31] moonkostar: what type of reeor you get? [21:31] matthew_ is it an ide drive? [21:31] K^Holtz: actually i'm using ff3 but as long as i don't know what causes your problem, you can downgrade ff :) [21:32] Yes, I can see it's an issue. On the subject of UUIDs, when I first installed Ubuntu, it automatically populated fstab for me quite adequately. But after adding a HDD, it seems that I have to update it by hand. Is it not possible to force Ubuntu to rebuild the fstab file as though it was a first install ? [21:32] Skorzen: haha, ill probably ask around a lil more then, thanks for your help tho [21:32] K^Holtz: in that site i have the same problem. tours doesn't load [21:32] jack_sparrow: i don't think so... === clintchance is now known as alphaman === alphaman is now known as alp4aman [21:33] xenomorph99 It just isnt a big deal for most users. Editing the fstab takes just a minute or two.. Most people seldom change and move drives around more that once a year [21:33] yop === alp4aman is now known as alpham === alpham is now known as clintcance [21:33] please [21:33] j'ai un ptit probleme de wifi [21:33] Skorzen se quiser tc em portuges estou em encantadoxxp em hot mail ponto com [21:33] ya des pros ? ^ [21:33] .. [21:33] But if it can do it once, I can imagine it can do it twice. It's just a general question [21:33] matthew_ Just asking as some ide have jumpers that trick the bios by limiting sectors to 1024 [21:33] OK, new problem. Does anyone know why CTRL+ALT+BKSPC doesnt restart X for me? === clintcance is now known as clintchance [21:33] thanks friends [21:34] Does anyone have an IPv6 address? [21:34] have a nice day... i need go out [21:34] that issue aside: does anyone use dual monitors and no where I can find hardware support so I can use an external monitor with hardy? (I have a nvidia quadro nvs 140m) [21:34] xenomorph99 the short anser is no.. [21:34] bye [21:34] If so, could he send me his name, like so: echo your name | nc6 --send-only 2001:6f8:900:b80::2 9999 [21:34] !dualhead [21:34] Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama [21:34] jack_sparrow how would I figure that out for certain? [21:34] What would cause someone not to get system sounds, but be able to hear audio streamed from the internet? [21:35] What does this diskmounter script in the Ubuntu wiki do then? Does it just mount everything it can see or does it update fstab ? [21:35] matthew_ you can look at the drive.. a wide ribbon cable.. 60 wires is ide.. smaller 1/2" wide will be sata.. ide usually have a place for two drives, sata have only one === `eboyjr` is now known as eboyjr [21:36] Hey [21:36] I want ubuntu mobile on a HTC Diamond! [21:36] xenomorph99 It mounts fat and ntfs.. and has not been updated since ntfs-3g and I would worry about how it setup writing to ntfs [21:36] Can it be done?

When system tries to mount the volume, computer freezes. Any ideas? [21:37] I need some help with my DVD drive. The BIOS allows me to boot from it (kubuntu 8.04 dvd), but the drive does not show up at all when running an installed system (kubuntu 8.04 (/dev/scd0 doesn't exist), Vista SP1 (No Optical drives show up in device manager)). Any help is welcome. [21:37] even didn't work with other liveCDs like backtrack [21:38] Telroth|Sleep, what kind of DVD drive is it, SATA, PATA, SCSI..? [21:38] matthew_: i guess the problem is about GB and GiB windows and ubuntu use different names [21:38] does anyone use dual monitors and no where I can find hardware support so I can use an external monitor with hardy? (I have a nvidia quadro nvs 140m) [21:39] tunix12: is it possible that windows is still lurking on my computer (for the install I used the live cd, clicked install, and clicked guided use entire disk) [21:39] matthew_: for example 300 GB is 279 GiB [21:39] TuniX12: GB is the proper binary rounded numbered size and GiB is 1000 MiB [21:40] tunix12: oh thanks, that could be my deal.

I thougth you said one GB was 230 bytes. But what you meant was 2^30 witch is correct. [21:45] matthew_: you dont have problem at all!!

I've tried with both encryption on and off but I still can't connect. Any ideas of what could be the problem? [21:49] Has you tried booting with the dongle already in ?

I run a ubuntu home file server, and my laptop which is connected to the lan can access the videos on it no problem, as can my desktop that is connected to it wirelessly. However, my sisters laptop is connected wirelessly to the lan as well, BUT she is having a hard time playing the videos, I've tried various different video players, vlc, mplayer, and totem, none of them are playing the videos on [21:51] the nfs file server anymore, it did before, but it no longer does. The two things I've done since last time and now is upgrade her laptop to Hardy, and encrypt my wireless with WPA2 [21:51] dmsuperman: ah. [21:51] any help or recommendations? [21:51] xenomorph99: Nope. [21:52] * DIL thinks his name is redundant [21:52] Anyone has experience with dmraid and ntfs partitions? [21:52] Dunno then. I had a wireless dongle that worked fine from the live CD or if it was already in when I booted. It had the same chipset as yours [21:52] weird. [21:53] It gets like half way connecting, but never fully connects. [21:53] Hey guys -- is there a channel specifically for ubuntu server? [21:53] It scans, tries to connect, asks for the password, etc. [21:53] In the last version of Ubuntu it connected, but only for about 10mins.

[22:02] acer :( [22:03] my hand is swollen punching things in frustration ... does anyone know how to access a more detailed install process? [22:03] Y-Town the underlying Xorg display backend is going through some very difficult changes.... [22:03] aceinthehole: what exactly are you trying to insall, i missed alot [22:04] is anyone using xchat in here [22:04] <`shray> hi - when I try to boot up my ubuntu it shows me the grub commandline, is there anyway I can return to the gui instead and normal booting? [22:04] I have a TravelMate 6292 and my Wifi LED does not work? can anyone please help me? And where is an icon which lets me connect to wifi signals?? [22:04] i tried installing ubuntu yesterday to today like 10 times no luck....i dont know what im doing wrong...some many possibilties... [22:04] shane_ i am [22:04] BCM43 - it's just a basic lamp install, everything goes fine until the "Select and Install Software" -- it gets 85% of the way through and dumps me out [22:04] Laptzo, does ur wifi work then? [22:05] BCM43 - doesn't give me an error code, no description of the problem ... nothing [22:05] Y-Town, try this meanwhile. this tutorial explains how to add a custom "Modeline" to the xorg.conf http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=83973 -- and here is one of many modeline generators. just put in your desired resolution and refresh rate. http://bohne-lang.de/spec/linux/modeline/ [22:05] lejon: well it show Wlan in network manager so iam asuming it works [22:05] aceinthehole: what disk are you using? [22:05] aceinthehole, did you try to do the lamp install after ubuntu was already installed... [22:05] BCM43 - Ubuntu Server 8.04 installed an primary hdd with default partition scheme [22:05] Laptzo, Can you connect to wireless networks and it works? [22:05] skillet - no, during basic install [22:06] Laptzo: install ndiswrapper [22:06] aceinthehole: no, i mean what cd [22:06] aceinthehole, i would try doing it afterwards with apt-get [22:06] lejon: how do i connect to a wireless network..no icon nothing for it [22:06] Stroganoff: if you posted anything befor your last post I missed it, I set the resolution to a different one with another refresh and lost everything and had to restart X [22:06] TuniX12: i doubt that is the best method atm [22:06] whats a good site builder ? [22:06] Stroganoff: can you repost please [22:06] Laptzo: sudo apt-get install ndisgtk [22:06] Laptzo, you have any specific wireless network you wanna connect to? Because then you got to network manager and manually configure ur wifi card for it [22:06] hi i need help i am trying to install a belkin wireless card and i was told that i needed a winxp 64bit .inf well i finally got one but ndis says its invalid driver can u help [22:06] BCM43 - I'm not sure which build it is specifically, but it's mirrored on the ubuntu web site (Ubuntu Server 8.04) [22:06] Y-Town im sorry about that. my last post is essential with the two links. [22:07] right now at install prompt with the prepare a disk space i chose using entire disk of 320 gb sata drive...its just stuck at this window the mouse icon is busy and no forward button highlighted...what should i do? [22:07] i just said the underlying Xorg display backend is currently going through some very difficult changes, whatever [22:07] Stroganoff: Thank you, I will look at the link [22:08] BCM43 did that answer your question? thx for helping btw [22:08] me think so to. trouble all the way for me with it :) [22:08] aceinthehole: yes [22:08] Sun01Tech you could try the alternate iso [22:08] TuniX12: what did that do? [22:08] Sun01Tech - how long has it been stuck? [22:08] aceinthehole: try the alternate desktop CD. [22:09] stronganoff: i tried that and still i can't finish the install....... [22:09] aceinthehole: it is text based and supports more hardware, and it should give you errors [22:09] BCM43, thats not going to give him the option do install a lamp stack [22:09] BCM43 - I was thinking of doing that, but I was reading the server kernal was configured a bit differently [22:09] danand_: for like 10 or 15 minutes [22:09] Sun01Tech you're talking about a mouse icon? the alternate cd is text based menus only [22:09] in FireFox, after typing "about:plugins" i get one section not being enabled. this is the "Default Plugin" and i am not able to view any videos with firefox.. :| [22:09] BCM43 - yeah, I'm not using that GUI install, just the basic ANSI ... it looks almost exactly like the Debian installer [22:09] I need some help with my DVD drive. The BIOS allows me to boot from it (kubuntu 8.04 dvd), but the drive does not show up at all when running an installed system (kubuntu 8.04 (/dev/scd0 doesn't exist), Vista SP1 (No Optical drives show up in device manager)). Any help is welcome. [22:10] skillet: aceinthehole ok, i dont know, wait unitill one of the really high up people get here, i dont think any body here knows [22:10] Laptzo, otherwise you could try using wicd as ur network manager, if ur wireless card already work, otherwise you gotta get that sorted first :P [22:10] stronganoff: yeah i tried with that but it gives stop error exit error doesnt finish the install [22:10] lejon: yah it work i think.. [22:10] aceinthehole: you dont have the option for a text based install? [22:10] BCM43 - Cool, thx man. It's so frustrating that there arnet any error logs I can read [22:10] Telroth|Sleep: u might wanna try #kubuntu [22:10] aceinthehole, what i would do and what i always do when i install a lamp stack is install it after ubuntu is already up [22:10] BCM43 it is text based [22:10] Sun01Tech - hmm... can take a while to prepare a disk (especially 320Gb!) - give it a while longer... if nothing happens try preparing your disk from a live cd first... [22:10] aceinthehole: and no errors? that is strange. [22:11] Hi all, i just made a mistake i think. I did install xmms2 but since then my sound is gone (i removed xmms2 already and rebooted) Is there a way to restore the sound system? [22:11] danand_: ok [22:11] Laptzo, well, then you're just lost on how to configure it how to connect to a wireless network [22:11] skillet - I was going to try that, but I can't even get that far [22:11] lejon: sec [22:11] BCM43 /nod [22:11] hey! I just came in here talkin about my SWAP increasing... how do I do it? [22:11] aceinthehole, oh i didnt know you couldnt get past that spot [22:12] BCM43 Skillet - it's a strange one ... I wish I had more to go on [22:12] http://www.ubuntugeek.com/ubuntu-804-hardy-heron-lamp-server-setup.html [22:12] bert_: go to volume manager and choose alsa as default server [22:12] afallenhope: you hardly need to [22:12] skillet yeah, it's never happened before, so I tried downloading off another mirror, same results [22:12] bert_: hmm, installing a program shouldn't wreck your sound system. Can you hear anything with `paplay /usr/share/sounds/*up.wav' ? [22:12] aceinthehole, well what i would do then is install with the alt cd. then once that is up and running you can install the server kernel along with the lamp stack [22:12] xmms2 uses OSS server [22:12] cjk2: yeah. I'm running VMWare [22:12] cjk2: well.. Linux with VMWare emulating Windows lol. [22:13] skillet that's what I was afraid of, lol, I tend to mess things up when I start apt-getting kernels ... [22:13] aceinthehole: you have installed it fine before? [22:13] good evening channel ^_^ === dsfasdfdsa is now known as shray` [22:13] hi i need help i am trying to install a belkin wireless card and i was told that i needed a winxp 64bit .inf well i finally got one but ndis says its invalid driver when i tried the 32 bit .inf it said it was valid and the device was found but i still couldnt get it to work im running 64 bit ubuntu [22:13] kmix is my volume manager? [22:13] Hi I got 2MB internet connection but last few day speed is around 50 do 70 Kb/s I have I feeling that something is blocking my connection. How can I see witch programs are currently runing ? [22:13] BCM43 oh yes, I have several servers at work running great with ubuntu, and I've had my home server running fine in the past too ... but this is a new thing [22:14] top [22:14] danand_: i didnt even want to use the entire disk for ubuntu but it doesnt let me get guide partition resizer for the disk i want to install on ...it only list the first disk so i went with guide...even i tried doing manual with ext3 and swap which i had no problems with install in the past [22:14] ajitam: netstat can check for processes using sockets [22:14] aceinthehole: try installing regular ubuntu, it should be able to do what the server does, maybe it will give you errors. if not, have you dropped it recently? [22:14] ajitam: program does not block your connection [22:15] ajitam: I think there is a top like program for network stats too.. can't remember the name though [22:15] BCM43 dropped? [22:15] ajitam: Find the System Monitor on the System Menu [22:15] TuniX12: I meent limit [22:15] aceinthehole: as in falling and hitting the floor. ;) [22:15] ajitam: you can impose limits on your network connection.. but it's nothing you do "by accident" =) [22:15] BCM43 oh no, oh gosh no [22:15] Flare183: I have only terminal [22:15] ajitam: i doubt a problem could limit the connection [22:15] aceinthehole: lol, just kidding [22:15] ajitam: Then use elinks [22:16] Sun01Tech - if you know how you want to partition the disk i would suggest using gparted on the live cd to partition and format etc before you try and install... [22:16] BCM43 I busted my hand up though, lol ... swinging and cursing in the air and I managed to smack the edge of the rack [22:16] wait a sec [22:16] paplay gives E: client-conf-x11.c: XOpenDisplay() failed [22:16] ajitam: type in top on another prompt [22:16] prompt/terminal* [22:16] aceinthehole: hmm.. maybe that did it. Do you have a hard hand? [22:16] ajitam - try netstat? [22:16] hi, i've got pulseaudio installed on gusty (laptop). How can I change internal microphone to external? [22:17] BCM43 alright bud, I'll give the alternate a try and see how that goes. I was going to put a gui on anyhow for admin [22:17] I'm trying to remove gnome-panel from my desktop and I can't get it to work. Running `gnome-session-remove gnome-panel` just locks up the terminal I run it in (running gnome-session-remove --list also locks it up). If I remove gnome-panel from Sessions and then hit save session, the next time I log in nothing at all (neither Compiz nor avant) loads, and I have to rename ,gnome2/session to fix it, causing gnome-panel to reappear. [22:17] BCM43 lol, apparently I do! It's purple but doesn't hurt.. hahhaa [22:17] Can anyone help? [22:17] !ask | coopster [22:17] coopster: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily).

[22:18] BCM43: I merely made my question a question by adding "Can anyone help?" at the end... [22:18] coopster: sorry, did not see the thing before.

[22:18] can anyone tell me how to change recording from internal microphone to external in pulseaudio? [22:18] DIL: I know how that is, I got a program that kicks and bans people from the router if they try doing that [22:19] * DIL to hell [22:19] I need some help with my DVD drive.

[22:20] Curse you gnome-panel! I just can't get rid of it! [22:20] danand_: I typed netstat but what I'm looking for ? [22:21] I've tested it mon my tv, and the cam works, the problem i guess is jsut a matter of configuration of v4l or v4l2 or something [22:21] coopster what did you say you were doing wit gnome? [22:21] I'm trying to remove gnome-panel from my desktop and I can't get it to work. Running `gnome-session-remove gnome-panel` just locks up the terminal I run it in (running gnome-session-remove --list also locks it up).

You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [22:22] Flare183: aceinthehole asked me to reiterate... [22:22] I installed wondershaper but I removed it now so I don't think this could couse the problem [22:22] bibue good night guys :) UNIX FOREVER =D [22:22] ajitam - any processes/connections that may be stealing your bandwidth... look for tcp or udp connections. [22:22] ajitam: ah.. you might have some iptables rules still in place then [22:22] so ubuntu is the new wave uhh? [22:22] coopster: oh ok continue [22:22] Telroth|Sleep: even vista does not recognize it? [22:22] coopster yeah the .gnome2 directory saves your sessions and preferences, so renaming it would do that. Have you put everything back to default by erasing .gnome .gnome2 .metacity .gconf and .gconfd ? [22:22] ubuntu is an alternative to toast [22:23] ajitam: what does "sudo iptables -L" print out.. just the 3 empty chains? or lots and lots of text? [22:23] Slart: So what do I do ? [22:23] !v4l2 [22:23] Factoid v4l2 not found [22:23] B_166-ER-X - in that case ... i don't know :) [22:23] !v4l [22:23] Factoid v4l not found [22:23] Hello, my firefox crashes when I close a tab on web mail gmail, whats happening ?

[22:24] themad yes, from the 8.04 release [22:24] danand_ yeah, my problem is, I USED to have it working on all versions of ubuntu since hoary, with xdtv mostly, i'm on gutsy now, and even if it worked before on gutsy, i reinstalled and now..it wont.

[22:28] !hi | eddie [22:28] eddie: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [22:28] Sun01Tech: but either would likely work === eddie is now known as Guest39521 [22:28] <[T]ank> so i am moving from 7.10 to 8.04. The problem i am running into is that when i select install from the CD, the screen just goes black and nothing else ever happens. 7.10 installs just fine. I just tried installing debian, I had to use the nofb option to overcome this same issue... how do i get past this in ubuntu 8.04 [22:28] That was always my favorite bottie feature. [22:28] <[T]ank> i tried a few variations of selectiong acpi=off and such... but cant figure this out. [22:29] [T]ank: does it immediately go blank or does it show the Ubuntu splash screen? [22:29] <[T]ank> no splash screen [22:29] hi there, the way we can use F11 in firefox to make full screen, can we do something similar to make any application full screen? [22:29] IndyGunFreak: what about the mbr...would ubuntu automatically set it up with the swap area being first..will use grub...or is that space reserved ? [22:29] *throws water* [22:29] [T]ank: do you happen to have a nVidia 8600 or similar? [22:29] <[T]ank> ati [22:29] I need some help with my DVD drive. The BIOS allows me to boot from it (kubuntu 8.04 dvd), but the drive does not show up at all when running an installed system (kubuntu 8.04 (/dev/scd0 doesn't exist), Vista SP1 (No Optical drives show up in device manager)). Any help is welcome. [22:29] Sun01Tech: yes, swap being first will not effect the mbr [22:30] Wallgod: do you use Compiz (for visual effects like wobbly windows) ? [22:30] IndyGunFreak: thanks [22:30] <[T]ank> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M22 [Radeon Mobility M300] [22:30] yes i do [22:30] if I am using gnome, how can I have text dispayed in the background on the desktop [22:30] Telroth|Sleep: SATA or IDE drive? [22:30] i have a problem with a horizon monitor (22 inch model 2206SW) on ubuntu 8.04. the main ideea is that i have tried to install envy / hardy's / nvidia's / fglrx drivers and none could provide me a higher resolution than 640x480. any ideeas ? [22:30] coopster, yes i do [22:30] does anyone know of an easy way to reset iptables rules? or just go back to the defaults? [22:30] good size for swap? i have 320gb hd [22:31] Slart: iptables -F [22:31] [T]ank: Sorry, I don't really know then. It may be worth waiting a while to see if the blank screen is just the splash screen failing to show up; I used to have that problem, but it eventually would boot into Ubuntu just fine. [22:31] Guest39521: nice.. but no point for you.. it still leaves the chain defaults intact [22:31] Sun01Tech, installed ram times 2 [22:31] <[T]ank> yeah, tried that [22:31] [T]ank-> you have the liveCD iso for 8.04? would you like to install from the hard disk? [22:31] Slart: maybe after you alter the rules / iptables-save [22:31] <[T]ank> amenado: no, i use the alternate cd [22:32] coopster, hi, i do use compiz [22:32] Hello. [22:32] Slart: Does iptables become active right after startup because I noticed that connection is ok for about 5min after reboot [22:32] Is there a WYSIWYG editor for Linux, such as Front Page or Dreamweaver? [22:32] i have a problem with a horizon monitor (22 inch model 2206SW) on ubuntu 8.04. the main ideea is that i have tried to install envy / hardy's / nvidia's / fglrx drivers and none could provide me a higher resolution than 640x480. any ideeas ? [22:32] mysterycool: quanta [22:32] Wallgod: If you run `sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager` it will let you go to System -. preferences -> advanced desktop settings [22:32] [T]ank-> its okay too, you can use the alternate cd, do you have a partitions ready to install ? [22:32] coopster, yes i can already do that === Guest39521 is now known as eddie_leu [22:33] does anyone know why everytime I turn my external drive on (NTFS partitions) it gives me an error mounting... says that it had an unclean shutdown... [22:33] Guest39521: Does it handle also server scripting coding such as PHP or only HTML/CSS/Javascript? [22:33] <[T]ank> amenado: yeah, will this install over debian? [22:33] eddie_leu, What graphic card you have? [22:33] Where do I find a list of fresh, working HTTP proxies in plain text format? Google is full of thousands and thousands of crappy sites on these search terms, so it's useless... [22:33] mysterycool: nvu [22:33] [T]ank-> i believe so, it will install [22:33] <[T]ank> lets try... [22:33] mysterycool: However, I suggest staying away from them. :-) [22:33] <[T]ank> im open to new things [22:33] lejon: nvidia GT 8800 [22:33] Wallgod: from there you can set Extra WM Actions, and one of the options allows you to toggle windows fullscreen [22:33] mysterycool: WYOM [22:33] <[T]ank> amenado: guide me [22:33] Guest42507: hmm.. worth a closer look.. there are scripts like this one, http://pikt.org/pikt/samples/reset_iptables_programs.cfg.html , but it seems like ubuntu should come with something like that for resetting the firewall rules.. perhaps some kind of dpkg-reconfigure [22:34] [T]ank-> ok lets give it a shot, prepare a partition [22:34] eddie_leu, checked ur xorg.conf and see if something is amiss with that? Otherwise you could try to reconfigure it with a command you find xorg.conf [22:34] <[T]ank> /dev/sda [22:34] in xorg.conf* [22:34] ajitam: I think they are activated when you boot.. but the wondershaper rules might not kick in until a certain time after startup.. [22:34] yesudeep2: I am not really a fun of them but I always have problems with colors at my webs and I want to be able to have it in a more "visual" way so I could get over it. [22:34] <{^KinG^}> hi all [22:34] Where do I find a list of fresh, working HTTP proxies in plain text format? Google is full of thousands and thousands of crappy sites on these search terms, so it's useless... [22:34] [T]ank-> are you planning to use same partition as your old debian? [22:34] <[T]ank> yep [22:34] has anyone had problems installing firefox themes? [22:35] could someone help me with setting up dual boot. [22:35] <[T]ank> i want to install over everything so i have only one partition with just ubuntu on it [22:35] <{^KinG^}> how i can install GTK 2.0 for use Themes GTK 2x [22:35] w3D dual boot with what? [22:35] coopster, oh thank u so much...

[22:43] euh! RealPlayer still exist?, [22:43] one of my games only works if I type in sudo gamename in the terminal.

[22:46] tj13820, I dont know exactly, but as far as I know, it probes for the module called ath_pci and loads it [22:46] cary_jebus[UDCS|: I think it does [22:46] Zaiden: if that's the only reason you don't need to run it with sudo and shouldn't. just add the path of the program to your PATH [22:47] sanjayb: yep :\ [22:47] well, it didn't make the interface load in /etc/network/interfaces [22:47] that's what i need. the module is there, but i need it to start, and be usable [22:47] asmo[B]: whats the command you're using to mount?

[22:49] yes they're very important, 300gigs of music [22:49] asm DO NOT force mount [22:49] asmo[B]: if its from the gui, it generally tells you about the windows problem [22:49] asmo[B]: if it told you Permission Denied, that's a bit strange [22:49] yea do NOT force mount [22:50] it says "you are not privileged to mount the volume" [22:50] asmo[B]: let windows unmount it [22:50] ok :) [22:50] asmo[B]: it mean ntfs is marked in use [22:50] Just have to get windows loaded on my laptop [22:51] TuniX12: err.. wouldn't it then have said 'ntfs marked in use' .. ?

[23:23] really? === pound is now known as xoomthemodder [23:23] gorg_: sudo apt-get install vlc [23:23] w3D_: it's true [23:23] LtL: this is not a bug indeed [23:23] thks [23:23] gorg_: sudo apt-get install vlc [23:23] w3D_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=191161 [23:23] so is there anyone here who knows a little about displaying video, and how to get rid of those lines? [23:23] if i don't use gnome or kde what benefits do i get from upgrading ubuntu to 8.04? [23:23] Sun01Tech: very weird problem, sorry i have no solution... what type of media are you using [23:24] tlbs: new kernel version? don't know if that's a benefit though [23:24] TuniX12: its not a bug? [23:24] ya besides kernels... [23:24] tlbs: and all the new packages that are not part of gnome [23:24] Slart_: i do use a few gnome apps [23:24] Sun01Tech: this error means that the disk is damaged or the dribe lens is not working well [23:24] tlbs: but I don't know of anything that is a "must have" in hardy [23:25] Slart_: i'm just now upgrading to 7.1 [23:25] tlbs: I'm just upgrading from 7.10 to 8.04 on my home server [23:25] Slart_: i usually stay a generation behind [23:26] tlbs: sounds like a safe strategy [23:26] I don't really care abhout all the lame eye candy [23:26] TuniX12: you mean the lens on the optical drive [23:26] or "fisher-pricing" added for inexperienced users [23:26] I went from 7.04 to 8.10. Upgrade was a nightmare. Fresh install might be better. It's pretty slekk and some of the new packages run better [23:26] but driver issues are worse atm [23:26] I have a problem after installing LAMP this morning i couldn't connect to the internet. I tried everything It said I was connected on My computer but when i logged onto the router on someone elses computer I didn't show up on the network. I thought because its not a cord or router problem (My other computer running Windows Is also using LAN Cable and is connected to the internet fine) Its a software problem. So does anyo [23:26] tuxboy666: doid you go straight [23:26] Sun01Tech: yes [23:26] Sun01Tech: yah that what he means, is the cd drive clean [23:26] tuxboy666: or intermediate upgrade [23:26] are there any ubuntu video experts here? or anyone who knows anything about video on ubuntu? [23:27] just did the tool in Feisty which got me Gutsy then immediately ran it again to upgrade to Hardy [23:27] How can I access the scrollback in GNU screen? [23:27] Sun01Tech: or the disk is damages [23:27] tuxboy666: oh ok [23:27] i use apt-get from command line [23:27] ryanakca: ctrl-a esc [23:27] LtL: i never cleaned it.....i think that is the problem...i guess i should buy one of those cd/dvd drive cleaners at best buy or radio shack....? [23:27] i ahvea pretty barebones alternate install [23:27] anyone know why tcltls requires tcl8.3 or 8.4 and not tcl8.5 ( which is what I have installed ) ?? [23:28] so i think my upgrades problems will be minimal [23:28] I have a problem after installing LAMP this morning i couldn't connect to the internet. I tried everything It said I was connected on My computer but when i logged onto the router on someone elses computer I didn't show up on the network. I thought because its not a cord or router problem (My other computer running Windows Is also using LAN Cable and is connected to the internet fine) Its a software problem. So does a [23:28] Sun01Tech: md5sum the iso to see if it's non-corrupt. [23:28] how do I play DVD's ? I popped in my NIRVANA dvd (legit) and it won't play [23:28] LtL: i did already its not that [23:28] !dvd | afallenhope [23:28] afallenhope: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs [23:28] yeah apt-get dist-upgrade works too, but the tool gives me an eta till it's done, etc [23:28] Sun01Tech: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=600126 you have the same problem? [23:28] Sun01Tech: clean is good. [23:28] hello [23:28] rausb0: splendid, thanks :) [23:29] TuniX12: thanks i was just looking at that [23:29] is it possible to rsync files only a specific date or newer? [23:29] afallenhope: you probably need libdvdcss2 [23:29] I have a problem after installing LAMP this morning i couldn't connect to the internet. I tried everything It said I was connected on My computer but when i logged onto the router on someone elses computer I didn't show up on the network. I thought because its not a cord or router problem (My other computer running Windows Is also using LAN Cable and is connected to the internet fine) Its a software problem. So does a [23:29] falstaff, yes. man rsync [23:30] I can't install it :-s [23:30] !medibuntu [23:30] medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [23:30] afallenhope: note the bot's output. [23:30] !tcltls [23:30] Factoid tcltls not found [23:31] retarded. [23:31] ? [23:31] choudesh: any hint? i cant find the option... [23:32] hello all [23:32] I have a problem after installing LAMP this morning i couldn't connect to the internet. I tried everything It said I was connected on My computer but when i logged onto the router on someone elses computer I didn't show up on the network. I thought because its not a cord or router problem (My other computer running Windows Is also using LAN Cable and is connected to the internet fine) Its a software problem. So does a [23:32] !hello [23:32] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [23:32] last time, I promise. I'm having a problem playing video: I'm getting weird flickering lines on the left-hand side of the display. I started a thread on the forums ~3 weeks ago; no replies. Is there anyone here who can help? [23:32] I have the libdvdread3 [23:33] i have a problem with my Atheros Communications Inc. AR5418 wireless card on ubuntu 8.04 [23:33] falstaff, use rsync in conjunction with find.... rsync -options `find source -type f -name 'whaterver' -newer mark [23:33] -print;touch mark` where_you_want_it_to_go [23:33] cybertaur1: never heard of that problem before... sorry === ErickGhint is now known as wsh42 [23:33] sorry... but HELLS YEAH [23:33] anyone know why tcltls requires tcl8.3 or 8.4 and not tcl8.5 ( which is what I have installed ) ?? [23:33] :-P [23:34] I have a problem after installing LAMP this morning i couldn't connect to the internet. I tried everything It said I was connected on My computer but when i logged onto the router on someone elses computer I didn't show up on the network. I thought because its not a cord or router problem (My other computer running Windows Is also using LAN Cable and is connected to the internet fine) Its a software problem. So does a === mohadib is now known as LOLJESUS [23:34] Slart_: well, thanks anyways for the response. I can live with the lines (they only extend around 2 inches), they're just slightly irritating [23:34] how can i make ubuntu have a start menu like in xp, where my applications, places and system are under one heading [23:34] choudesh: thx! [23:34] i dont know how to convert bin file in ubuntu ? [23:34] ringer: use kde [23:34] jesus this channel has so much spam [23:34] ringer: sudo apt-get install kde-core [23:34] ma1: what are you trying to install? [23:34] cybertaur1: can you explain more? your graphic card your screen display type of video? [23:34] tlbs: spam?.. where?.. its not that bad [23:34] ringer: Check out kubuntu, yeah. [23:35] IndyGunFreak: i know i'm sensationalizing a bit [23:35] IndyGunFreak:am not installing, i have music files in it. [23:35] I have a problem after installing LAMP this morning i couldn't connect to the internet. I tried everything It said I was connected on My computer but when i logged onto the router on someone elses computer I didn't show up on the network. I thought because its not a cord or router problem (My other computer running Windows Is also using LAN Cable and is connected to the internet fine) Its a software problem. So does a [23:35] ringer: if you don't want to move distro's ever so slightly as it may be, install KDE core, and use it under sessions settings on login [23:35] i came back to ubuntu [23:35] KDE i no like [23:35] IndyGunFreak: but a lot of repeated questions [23:35] TuniX12: gladly. I'm on a 22-inch widescreen from dell, and I have a Intel Corporation 82G965 Integrated Graphics Controller (I think). I'm also very new to linux / ubuntu, but I'm somewhat computer-literate. [23:35] Falling-Inferno: hahaha you're repeating a bit of text thats too big, whats your actual question [23:36] I lost internet after Installing Lamp. [23:36] tlbs: well, yeah, newbs tend to have problems w/ the same things. [23:36] !repeat | Falling-Inferno [23:36] Falling-Inferno: 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 [23:36] hey guys ... does someone has the ubuntu gutsy 64 repository list? [23:36] So does a moth in the vaccum tubes cause troubles? yes it does ;) [23:36] TuniX12: and it's any kind of video (example: right now I'm trying to watch Razor, the BSG movie) [23:36] most of the general responses should be community wiki [23:36] Flannel: thank you for using a !flag right after I say the !exact !same !thing [23:36] cybertaur1: maybe your LCD screen is damaged do u have this problem under windows? [23:36] TuniX12: i think this is a bug....seems to be from what they say the forum [23:37] can someone help me [23:37] tlbs: most don't look there, this is a basic support channel 99% of the time, rarely are really complex problems tackled here [23:37] IndyGunFreak: ah i gotcha [23:37] for whomever may ever say it is impossible to install a wireless card to ubuntu server, gain internet access, upate, install Gnome, and apps. IT IS NOT. it takes 2 hours of B*Sing around, but it works [23:37] TuniX12: No, it only appears when I'm playing video, and only in the video box. And I don't have this problem with Windows. Also, in VLC, when I change the preferences to OpenGL output, the lines go away, but then there are other problems [23:37] CH1C0, ask your question [23:37] IndyGunFreak: I wouldn't say rarely. but its certainly not the majority [23:37] my wireless usb keeps disconnecting, whats a good wireless device to use with ubuntu? [23:37] Can someone help me getting mp3's to play in rhythm box? [23:37] IndyGunFreak: is there a #ubuntu-expert or anything or is that like #gentoo, lol [23:37] Falling-Inferno: how did you install lamp? like installing the apache mysql and php parts? [23:37] is it safe to remove fakeroot? [23:37] sagredo_: how would I use lshw to see video information in conky? [23:37] hola [23:37] Flannel: yeah.. rarely was an overstatement.. but i'd bet 80-85% is basic stuff [23:37] Atheros Communications Inc. AR5418 on ubuntu 8.04 [23:37] tlbs: not that i know of.. [23:37] tj13820, so i cant have that with ubuntu since i am running gnome? [23:37] tj13820, okay, installing it now. [23:37] w3D: go to bestbuy, and grab a "Dynex" wireless card. [23:38] cant connect to internet [23:38] tlbs - #debian :D [23:38] ringer: yes, you can have both [23:38] dont live in america :d [23:38] tj13820: do thsoe wireless cards work well w/ ubuntu? [23:38] IndyGunFreak: yes, most of the times, out of the box, and for ~20$ [23:38] w3D: lucky you :P [23:38] hehe [23:38] tj13820: yeah, i love a lot of dynex stuff, are you talking a laptop card, or a PCI card? [23:39] w3D: just order offline. ~20$ + shipping is still around 30$ [23:39] pci or whatever. [23:39] cybertaur1: sorry i cant help [23:39] KyleK: I used the guide from !lamp and used the tasksel bundle [23:39] IndyGunFreak: both. MiniPci Pci and on board [23:39] TuniX12: thanks anyways [23:39] this is very strange [23:39] tj13820: hmm, didn't know that. [23:39] cybertaur1: google for it [23:39] IndyGunFreak: madwifi included a driver in "restricted modules" for atheros chipsets, which all dynex wireless cards utilize [23:39] ah [23:40] Can someone help me get rhythm box to play mp3s? [23:40] TuniX12: I did, and the only relevant result I found was the thread I started [23:40] tj13820: hmm, i use madwifi w/ my atheros.. but it has to be patched cuz of some error detecting the card. [23:40] tjl3820: dynex makes onboard wireless? [23:40] use "modprobe ath_pci" [23:40] Masterof9puppets: how did you import the mp3s? [23:40] asmo[B]: no, but many atheros sets are onboard ;-) [23:40] afallenhope : yes,you don´t need it if you don´t build xour own packages or something like that [23:40] It did it automatically, brody [23:41] cybertaur1: type intel linux video problem and you'll find many results [23:41] KyleK: I didn't do any of the Configuration though. My server worked as soon as I started it. But I lost internet after that. It says Im connected to the internet when im on ubuntu but when i go to firefox. No internet, I can't even logon to my router from this computer. Im using the Live CD and i am on the internet now so its a software problem [23:41] i gonna go buy some different brand cds and dvds and probably buy a new cdrw and hope that fixes it [23:41] ah, k sounded like you meant dynex onboard [23:41] Sun01Tech: buy a DVDRW.. no point limiting yourself to CDR [23:41] Masterof9puppets: k, so import file -then the source [23:41] I just want to play my danged DVD lol [23:41] Falling-Inferno: wireless or wired? [23:41] they are roughly the same price [23:41] KyleK: Wired. [23:41] tj13820, okay its installed now what should i do? [23:41] or did you drag and drop [23:41] Sun01Tech: what kind of media are you using? [23:41] Does anyone know of a chat channel where I can ask some windows active directory questions? [23:42] TuniX12: ok, thanks [23:42] CH1C0, http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ubuntu.user/146629 ths is all I can find [23:42] or did you tell it to get them from a file itself [23:42] dsnyders: ##windows? [23:42] dsnyders: #windows i think [23:42] IndyGunFreak: yeah i already have one but yeah i should invest....im using tdk cdr [23:42] !windows | dsnyders [23:42] dsnyders: 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 [23:42] thank you [23:42] ringer: if you hit CTRl+alt+backspace, it will end your session "log you out". then when you log in, choose "KDE" under sessions [23:42] KyleK: my brother right across the room from me has Internet and he is wired. as well as my brother who is wireless also has internet and my mom also has internet. [23:42] brody: it doesn't work then either, a red circle will appear next to it [23:42] Sun01Tech: you in the states? [23:42] KyleK: So I know its a software problem. [23:42] IndyGunFreak: yeah [23:42] Falling-Inferno: you could probably just manually set stuff up [23:42] how do i get the updated version of Pidgin without downloading and installing it myself? [23:42] IndyGunFreak, Slart_ Thanks. [/me slaps forehead] I should have tried that first. [23:43] tj13820, ringer ctrl+alt+backspace isn't really a log out.. it just kills the x-system afaik.. kind of like pulling the plug [23:43] !latest | clintchance [23:43] clintchance: A higher version number does not mean that it's better. Especially with packages such as the linux kernel. The packages in the Ubuntu repositories are stable and will work fine. You should have a better reason than "newer" when considering compiling from source or using 3rd party repos. [23:43] masterof9puppets yea thats means there was an error somewhere in the file transfer [23:43] are the files encrypted [23:43] Sun01Tech: tigerdirect.com and newegg.com have lite-on dvdr's.. usually pretty cheap, eve w/ shipping.. lite-on is all i use, rarely have had a problem [23:43] dsnyders: :) [23:43] nope, every single file i have wont play [23:43] ompaul, the latest version has support for GMail and myspace im and i really want them [23:43] Slart_: yes, but you must do so, or restart to enable KDE to attach to X witout error [23:43] KyleK: I might just install Ubuntu on my 2nd hard drive that i installed 2 days ago then when i get everything setup I can just take the files of THIS ubuntu install that I want to keep. [23:43] IndyGunFreak: thanks i will buy one then [23:44] clintchance: its very easy to compile from source. [23:44] IndyGunFreak: I concur [23:44] masterof9puppets - and that includes WAv's and other file types? or just mp3's? [23:44] lite-on does seem to be the way to go [23:44] !compile | clintchance [23:44] clintchance: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [23:44] IndyGunFreak so i do download the "source' ? [23:44] ringer: well? [23:44] masterof9puppets - where did you get the files from? [23:44] juist wondering [23:44] brody: just mp3's [23:44] tj13820: I won't argue with that... just don't say it's the same as a logout =) [23:44] is there any porn linux programs :P [23:44] clintchance: yeah.. type this w/o quotes "/join #indygunfreak" and i'll takl you through compiling it real quick. [23:45] IndyGunFreak i can compile.... sudo make and sudo make install then sudo make uninstall [23:45] cary_jebus[UDCS|: thats not appropriate [23:45] Slart_: lol, i just try to make it easier to understand. and i did put *log you out* in quotes [23:45] I've done what I needed to and I still can't play them in Totem [23:45] ok sorry [23:45] clintchance: as long as you have all the dependencies resolved, it should be that easy [23:45] bahahaha [23:45] clintchance, note that the "latest" is most likely going to be depending on a whole lot of stuff that will break if you wait 4 months you should be better off and it will be in a "stable release" atm it is alpha [23:45] !dvd [23:45] For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs [23:45] Masterof9puppets : you need w32 or w64 codecs from medibuntu repo [23:46] IndyGunFreak, something from gnome that is not in the release version ..... think carefully :) [23:46] tj13820: indeed you did =) [23:46] how do i convert .wma to mp3 ? [23:46] masterof9puppets - so where did you get the mp3's from [23:46] * clintchance sits in his rocker and wait for the Pidgin Group to get a move on [23:46] ma1: mencoder might do it [23:46] Masterof9puppets : if you want to play mp3 in rhythmbox [23:46] My iPod [23:46] TuniX12: I tried properly unmounting my external drive in windows and tried it again in ubuntu and still get the same error... "You are not privileged to mount the volume" [23:46] Where would I get that zvacet? [23:46] ompaul: lol, i usually run into dependency probs compiling it.. almost always actually [23:46] asmo[B]: use sudo [23:46] Hey, i noticed that wine isnt under add remove programs in ubuntu. Do you have to install it manually? [23:47] Masterof9puppets I mean were they from Itunes? [23:47] ajhtiredwolf, it is there [23:47] ajhtiredwolf_: check in synaptics [23:47] ajhtiredwolf_ make sure you selecting the entire app field [23:47] No, they were from cd's [23:47] ajhtiredwolf_: sudo apt-get install wine in a terminal will do it [23:47] ajhtiredwolf_ and not just supported programs [23:47] ajhtiredwolf_: use synaptics or "sudo apt-get remove wine" [23:47] Masterof9puppets : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu [23:47] hold on [23:48] Thanks zvacet [23:48] who on earth would remove wine [23:48] clintchance: ahh there it is, is it not very stable since it is not under supported? [23:48] Masterof9puppets : np [23:48] ma1: You can use lame to convert .wma to .mp3 [23:48] ajhtiredwolf_ I dont really know why they do that because it is supported in some way [23:49] clintchance: k, thank you [23:49] ajhtiredwolf_ :) [23:49] is intrepid released yet? [23:49] !intrepid [23:49] Alpha Software: Intrepid Ibex is the code name for Ubuntu 8.10, due October 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IntrepidIbex | Warning lots of breaking software and other good stuff between now and October! === Tyczek__ is now known as Tyczek [23:49] Hey would you guys spring for cedega?is it really that much better? [23:50] not really [23:50] Masterof9puppets: you can also try installing a file converter and then changing the files into ogg. . . unless you want to keep them mp3 [23:50] ma1 :http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=731932&highlight=audio+convert #7 [23:50] lol [23:50] !lol | tj13820 [23:50] rsk, does it run anyprograms that wine wont? [23:50] tj13820: Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. [23:50] brody: I need to keep them in mp3 [23:51] "warning - don't use on production equipment" should be there for those who don't have common sense [23:51] Masterof9puppets: but even if you installed a file converter, you can still try converting them into mp3's, because sometimes for some reason converting an mp3 to an mp3 will work [23:51] ...Slart_... one time is not that bad, if you are counting it outside of sentences [23:51] Slart_ omg whats the problem with using them [23:51] lollmaolmfaoroflmfao [23:51] :-) [23:52] slart_ i dont know anyone who hates them except maby you [23:52] clintchance: I think the difference between wine and cedega is mostly in the packaging.. cedega used to be better with.. directx I think [23:52] zvacet: Still, none of these work [23:52] figured out the problem [23:52] Masterof9puppets: add/remove programs - Sound Converter - this one works well [23:52] Slart_ keyword Used..... They dont anymore? [23:52] is there a way of making my /media/Nirvana go to /dev/dvd ? [23:52] finally can access my NTFS partitions (Y) [23:53] afallenhope: mount /dev/dvd /media/Nirvana [23:53] clintchance: I'm not sure.. it's been a while since I tried cedega.. long while actually [23:53] Masterof9puppets: but you need certain codecs in order to switch to mp3's [23:53] asmo[B]: you should test your disk I/O errors are usually hardware errors or u have bad magic number in super-block [23:53] tj13820: I think you have that backward [23:53] Slart_, Guess im not buying :P [23:53] Masterof9puppets : do you have lame installed [23:53] clintchance: but check out the cedega site.. they will probably give you lots and lots of reasons to pay for it =) [23:54] afallenhope: no, it's that way. you don't put the folder in the device, you put the decvice in the folder [23:54] well.. I'mm trying to play my DVD and it won't [23:54] Slart_, Although i can probrubly get it from my neighbor... [23:54] Whats lame zvacet? [23:54] Masterof9puppets : and did you installed w32/64 codecs with synaptic [23:54] TuniX12: I think the actual problem was just the name of the actual drives, I renamed them in windows and they mounted with no problems [23:54] I installed all the things I need to [23:54] Masterof9puppets: they are easy to download, all you do is in the sound converter go to edit then preferences then download codecs for MP3's [23:54] when is adblock going to be available for ff3? [23:54] afallenhope: sudo mkdir /media/Nirvana === Peter-_ is now known as Peter- [23:55] or, is there a way to stop Hardy getting so upset about ff2?

[23:55] before i log off anyone know of anyprogram that will force my laptop to cool down a bit like maby blast the fans a couple of secods? Its really starting to burnmy legs [23:55] yes sir, works like a charm now :) [23:55] gordonjcp: adblock plus is available.. or you mean the original adblock? [23:55] tj13820: it's already mounted. I get: Failed to connect stream: Invalid argument [23:56] clintchance: cooling fan from targus :-) === bubbles_ is now known as justsomeone [23:56] Slart_: preferably the original adblock, adblock plus I just don't get on with [23:56] asmo[B]: :D good [23:56] Slart_: adblock plus breaks too many sites I use, and adding filters is unnecessarily obtuse [23:56] afallenhope: restart. you mounted it, now restart and it should automount to that folder. or let you mount it with that command [23:56] clintchance: some motherboards let you control the fans.. others don't... depends on the hardware I guess.. [23:56] Slart_, what could i use to control them i it was supported [23:57] Slart_: it depends on the BIOS [23:57] gordonjcp: hmm.. haven't used the original adblock in a year or so.. think I've forgotten what it was like [23:57] zvacet: I installed it, still nothing works [23:57] <[T]ank> cp -R === martyn is now known as Guest10562 [23:57] Slart_: the hardware can change voltages etc. but the bios doesn't have it implemented [23:57] <[T]ank> errr. oops [23:57] tj13820: it's automatically there,,, I'm syaing it wont PLAY..

[23:58] tj13820, i dont think my bios has the health thing on it [23:58] I'm playing it in: "totem: with the restricted codecs" [23:58] amarok [23:58] Masterof9puppets : can you play mp3 in any other player [23:58] !best | asmo[B] [23:58] asmo[B]: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [23:58] afallenhope: look on google for "ubuntu dvd Failed to connect to stream: invalid arguement" [23:58] asmo[B]: what do you even mean "music"? [23:58] clintchance: search in synaptic.. I know nvidia has a utility to control the fans on their graphics cards.. haven't really looked for anything to control a motherboard fan though [23:58] Nope zvacet [23:58] Slart_, thanks will do [23:58] gordonjcp: my bad [23:58] gordonjcp: except in the case of VLC.. vlc is best at everything.. :) [23:58] asmo[B]: try amarok it's great [23:58] clintchance: you probably don't have a mechanism in your bios to conrtol ACPI. an app may be available to do so. [23:59] asmo[B]: do you mean creating music, or listening, or scoring sheet music, or what? ;-) [23:59] hi there, anyone knows a way to brodcast what i'm actually listening ? like shoucats for winamp ? [23:59] Coyote`: icecast? [23:59] listening to music [23:59] the last time I used ubuntu I used amarok [23:59] tj13820: he has but linux does not support it
