[00:16] Nvidia?

[00:16] I think so. That's what it says when it checks the array on bootup [00:16] DrLame: that's fakeraid for you... =/ [00:16] Schuenemann: right, but it may want it to not be writeable by others, or whatnot, to protect the integrity of that file [00:17] help me please [00:17] Slart: makes sense... but I'm VERY linux newbie. How would suggest getting these drivers? [00:17] Flannel im new...im just going to all the distro channels trying to find a live cd that has btaudio support [00:17] Schuenemann: for instance, certain files in your homedir need to be 644, etc. [00:17] i dont care if its an old release [00:17] DrLame: I'm guessing there aren't even any drivers.. there usually isn't [00:17] i need to apply perl script to all my mp3 but recieves erro [00:17] r [00:17] Dream: No malloc for you? =) [00:17] tikihead, when you have the install complete, you should be able to pull in ubuntu and xserver with "apt-get install ubuntu-desktop". As for UME, see here: https://launchpad.net/netbook-remix. Once its in, you'll want to set up gnome-sessions for maximus and ume-launcher I believe [00:17] Flannel, why I don't see that file? [00:17] >_< cba to log on malloc [00:18] is it possible to use mplayer to generate video thumbnails in nautilus? [00:18] lol, cba? [00:18] Schuenemann: It might not be there.

I remember seeing someone have Eclipse set up for C with a working debugger and all. I've googled around, and I've installed Eclipse with the C programming plugin, I think it was called CDT, but not much luck. Is there a tutorial on setting eclipse up properly for C programming, so it rivals Visual Studio? [00:22] el1te: Like I said, it *doesn't* work like that.

[00:27] elite, i believe you can make it from the normal live cd, ive heard you just boot into the normal live CD, make any changes/install new things, then remake the live cd from the current enviroment. i have never make that, but i can point you into some instructions [00:27] Slart, I want to change it to mplayer [00:27] * Dream yawns [00:27] NetEcho, im going to guess you are looking for the ppd, search for your model in here: http://www.openprinting.org/printer_list.cgi [00:27] Commie_Jebus, apt-get remove xserver-xgl [00:27] hi, i have a laptop without cd drive, with ubuntu 6 i downloaded the ubuntu 8.04 but i want to do a fresh complet reinstall is there a way to make the iso on a usb stick so i can do the installation via usb stick else of a cd-rom ? [00:27] pen: I think thumbnails are being generated by some kind of script which then calls a chosen program to generate an image.. different programs are used for creating snapshots of video files.. images of text files, images of pdf's.. it's a gnome thing or a nautilus thing..

In particular, are there security reasons to reboot a system with this kernel? http://www.ubuntu.com/usn makes no mention of it. [02:44] nickrud: how do i reconfigure? [02:44] kahrytan, could be. you can use the keyboard to move around the icons and such; ctl-alt-escape selects the desktop and panels, left-right-up-down arrows move selection, enter activates [02:44] Blaqlight: I'd recommend either PuTTY (just for ssh) or Cygwin (for a full Linux-like environment). [02:44] kahrytan, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg. But checking your mouse isn't a bad idea either [02:45] putty is fine, I don't want to use cygwin.

[02:46] xavura try alt ctrl backspace then log back in [02:46] nickrud: it's software related [02:46] Xavura, gtk-recordmydesktop [02:46] trimeta, those instances are extremely rare. lol thank god.

I would like to change one of the depends to a previous version of a library, however the source.orig.tar.gz doesn't have a debian directory with the control et al.

[03:02] MrSmurfing, what file [03:02] I click on the ISO and get an error [03:02] It's a linux binary [03:02] pccc: and can you also check if you've d/l the desktop edn not the server one [03:02] MrSmurfing, which one [03:02] MrSmurfing: ls -l /path/to/name/of/file [03:02] tech0007: i have the 64-bit server edition; there is no livecd for server? [03:03] CShadowRun: there's a way to run vnc on a virtual x session, can't remember how to setthat up though. Have done it in the past [03:03] it's called starutil [03:03] That is Inside Totem Movie Player [03:03] !info starutil [03:03] Package starutil does not exist in hardy [03:03] CShadowRun: If you're using VNC with Linux, you basically need to run your X session from within the VNC server; that X session needs to stay logged in, but you can detach it from your home computer and use it from the remote one. [03:03] zcat[1] i don't think i want that either, that makes me not see what is currently on the screen. [03:03] I lost my tray icons, how do I get them back? [03:03] pccc: server edn does not run the gui [03:03] Am I blind, because I can't seem to find the mod_gzip package for apache2 [03:04] Miesco: Right-click on the panel and add the notification area? [03:04] It's an executable to allow me to log into a pretty rare type of wifi radio [03:04] trimeta so i can't just have a simple VNC that runs and doesn't matter if i'm logged in or not, and shows me exactly whats on the screen (like in windows) ? [03:04] tech0007: oic, that's right. i installed the gui separately. well, thanks [03:04] Don't worry [03:04] it's deflate [03:04] CShadowRun: I don't think you can vnc into the gdm login.. never seen that done. [03:04] I can call it with it's full pathname and it works fine. [03:04] that's no good :( [03:04] MrSmurfing: ls -l /path/to/name/of/file [03:04] how do you list the users in a terminal? [03:04] So if you want to VNC home your expected to leave your computer unlocked? [03:04] That's really silly [03:04] MrSmurfing: then its path is not in your shell's $PATH variable [03:04] CShadowRun, or you can just lock it [03:05] isn't lock the same as the gdm screen? [03:05] powertool08: w [03:05] CShadowRun, not as far as i know [03:05] mneptok: Ok, I guess that's my question, how do I add it's path to my shell's $PATH variable? [03:05] and what happens if i need to reboot while i'm away? [03:05] CShadowRun: you could use xdmcp or ssh -x [03:05] trimeta: is that all users, or just those logged on? [03:05] MrSmurfing: export PATH="$PATH:/your/new/dir" [03:05] powertool08: Just those who are logged on. [03:05] CShadowRun, remote X would be more flexible, as zcat suggests [03:05] but other peoples computers don't have any of that [03:05] or xmove for already running apps [03:05] j/#ubuntu-es [03:05] CShadowRun: yeah, if xscreensaver has the screen locked you can still vnc that [03:06] trimeta: how do I list all [03:06] powertool08: If you've got root access, you could look at the contents of /etc/shadow, though that will include fake users (created for various programs) as well. [03:06] lol, this is so over-complicated [03:06] como entro a ubuntu-es [03:06] CShadowRun, how many people do you know that VNC to their home machine on a regular basis? [03:06] I have an ISO Image Can't Play .. [03:06] philh atleast one, me. [03:06] heavy27: /join #ubuntu-es [03:06] it may be because i don't live in the world of windows but i can't say any of my friends would [03:07] I have a dummy terminal laptop i take with me everywhere i go. [03:07] I get an error in Totem [03:07] not without ssh tunneling at least, and i'm guessing that's over-complicated for you [03:07] trimeta: thanks [03:07] quick question, everytime i press ctrl alt backspace it turns off my computer [03:07] Street360, you're trying to open an ISO with Totem? [03:07] CShadowRun: I generally use putty if I'm on a windows machine, but that's text only. Most of my friends use Linux so I can use ssh -x to run gui programs a lot of the time (although I still mostly just use plain ssh even then) [03:07] hehe i just want a simple remote control like i could get on windows [03:07] heavy27: escrive/empuje "/join #ubuntu-es" (no "") [03:07] CShadowRun: Seriously, ssh-tunneled VNC is perfectly usable, and you don't lose security by leaving your main computer logged in (since you need to ssh into it to get to that logged-in session). [03:08] Street360, have you tried mounting the ISO? [03:08] which package has the source code for the endgame screensaver? [03:08] but when i'm away and using someone elses computer, they have a web browser, and that's all [03:08] i can't go installing putty and things on other peoples computers [03:08] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC [03:08] read the part about VNC with LOGIN [03:08] CShadowRun, what happened to the laptop? [03:08] CShadowRun: If you can install a VNC client on their computer, you can install PuTTY. [03:08] anyone know how to get the wpc11 v4 working in hardy? [03:08] MoreOvaltine ty :p [03:08] Anyone got some good suggestions on how to migrate from Windows to Ubuntu without losing all my files on my NTFS partition? I think I have around 100gbs worth of files I would need to transfer and I only have a 30gb drive as my second (which is what Ubuntu is on right now) [03:09] CShadowRun: you can run putty of a sub stick.. or just download it and delete it when you're done, it's a tiny program [03:09] Christoph_82: Ubuntu can read NTFS filesystems. [03:09] Anyone know how I can get JRE plugin working for FF3? It works for FF2. [03:09] philh sometimes i can't get my laptop on other peoples internet connection, or the battery runs out, and i end up using someone elses computer [03:09] CShadowRun: Putty doesn't use the registry. You can run it from a flash drive or the like. [03:09] s/sub/usb [03:09] sudo apt-get install opera won't work [03:09] Christoph_82 Dual boot [03:09] !opera === ballzee is now known as Sinister [03:09] opera is an advanced and free (only as in price) web browser. Install it via Applications->Add/Remove..., making sure that "Show commercial applications" (dapper only) is checked. For more info on opera please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OperaBrowser [03:09] What do I need to type to get Opera (Browser, 9.5) [03:09] yea, usb drive could be an option, but still quite irritating baring in mind that i can just http:// into my windows machine. [03:09] Hi, im trying to install Skype, i went to their website and got a .deb, when i went to install it it says "An older version is available in the software portal" how would i go about getting that older version? Because i cant get this newer verison (the .deb) to install. [03:09] CShadowRun: i believe you can use the java vnc with this [03:09] Trimeta: I know, but I don't have enough space on my 30gb drive for some installs, I want to use my 200gb drive for Ubuntu [03:10] MoreOvaltine cool, i'll start reading that page, thanks :) [03:10] CShadowRun: Lol took me a long time to find that [03:10] Christoph_82 You really wont need 200 gig for ubuntu... [03:10] hehe [03:10] Christoph_82: best to copy your files to an external drive [03:10] I don't see "Show Commercial Applications" [03:10] Jack_Sparrow: I know I don't "NEED" it, I want to switch everything around [03:10] is it a good idea to make a root password? [03:11] rainwalker: NO [03:11] rainwalker: NO [03:11] Why does my pc shutdown when i press CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE?? [03:11] rainwalker, in linux mint? [03:11] that's what I thought [03:11] bazhang: yep [03:11] Christoph_82 Then you NEED to make a full backup or borrow a big external drive [03:11] !mint || rainwalker [03:11] | rainwalker: The following are some examples of Ubuntu derived distributions that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes, please consult their websites for more information: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), Ubuntu Ultimate [03:11] Jack_Sparrow: For instance I need to install COD 4, not enough space. [03:11] MoreOvaltine: That's not a shutdown. [03:11] Xavura: what is the error when u try 'sudo apt-get install opera' [03:11] Makuseru, the "software portal" is Synaptic or the Add/Remove program [03:11] That's a Xorg restart. [03:11] MoreOvaltine: it shuts down? or goes black and returns to the login screen? [03:11] SeveredCross: everytime i press it it shuts it down [03:11] is there a way to install a RPM under Ubuntu (Apparently the java plugin Ubuntu has doesn't work , I have websites still telling me to install JRE and giving me this .rpm) [03:11] my wpc11 v4 wireless card worked in previous versions of ubuntu, how do I get it working in hardy? [03:11] spoon_man: i search "Skype" in it and i get no results [03:11] MoreOvaltine: Uh, your computer is screwed up then. [03:11] Package opera is not available, but is referred to by another package. [03:11] This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or [03:11] is only available from another source [03:11] E: Package opera has no installation candidate [03:11] Jack_Sparrow: *Sigh* I know.. my question was if there might be another way around it [03:11] Xavura: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:11] NetEcho_: the plugin does work [03:11] !alien | NetEcho [03:11] NetEcho: 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) [03:11] Daisuke_Laptop: It actually turns off [03:12] bazhang: it's not specific to linux mint [03:12] NetEcho_ Not a goot idea to alien an rpm [03:12] MoreOvaltine: that's not good. [03:12] makuseru, in Synaptic or Add/Remove? [03:12] !info opera [03:12] opera (source: opera): The Opera Web Browser. In component partner, is optional. Version 9.27-20080331.6hardy1 (hardy), package size 5544 kB, installed size 12836 kB (Only available for i386) [03:12] Jack_Sparrow, the RPM is from java.com [03:12] NetEcho_: don't install rpms. Have you followed the wiki on java? [03:12] Add/Remove and Adept [03:12] I have an nvidia card should I do sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings ? [03:12] Pogo.com is telling me java isn't installed [03:12] MoreOvaltine: That indicates a very weird problem. [03:12] Christoph_82 DOnt risk what you cant replace [03:12] and links me to the site on java.com [03:12] Daisuke_Laptop: before it just put my computer in standby... [03:12] What should I do? [03:12] which only has .rpm and source [03:12] NetEcho_ It does not matter where it came from. [03:12] NetEcho, install java via the synapted [03:12] Ctrl-Alt-Backspace shouldn't put your computer to standby either. [03:12] Xavura: Did you try apt-get update to clear out any weirdness? [03:13] no body can help with my linksys wireless card? [03:13] Jack_Sparrow, http://java.com/en/download/linux_manual.jsp [03:13] LOL weird bios?? [03:13] MoreOvaltine: That has nothing to do with the BIOS. [03:13] How Ctrl-Alt-Backspace is handled is up to X. [03:13] NetEcho_: Look at the Ubuntu howto's on installing Java. [03:13] The JRE install that apt installs doesn't work for this website [03:13] I'll try update [03:13] Jack_Sparrow: Well then do you know if Wine can run programs from my NTFS partition? [03:13] NetEcho_: 'sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre' [03:13] trimeta, according to ubuntu I have 2 instalations of java [03:13] SeveredCross: could it be i disabled acpi? [03:13] Makuseru, in Add/Remove, you'll want to choose "All available applictions" in the Show menu [03:13] I did update [03:13] MoreOvaltine: Shouldn't matter. [03:13] I still get the same error. [03:14] Again, Ctrl-Alt-Backspace is supposed to restart X. [03:14] tech0007, that version is installed [03:14] is Wine 1.0 too new to be fetchable via apt-get? the latest one my ubuntu fetched is 0.9.46, looks like the most recent one prior to 1.0 was 0.9.6 [03:14] SeveredCross: I know it is supposed to, it will restart xserver, the the computer will shut down. [03:14] Christoph_82 A question better asked in winehq.. but yes.. they can [03:14] tech0007, apt says its already installed and when I try to launch games on pogo.com it doesn't work [03:14] makuseru, I recommend Synaptic instead of Add/Remove, because I don't see it in the latter [03:14] SeveredCross: then** [03:14] tech0007, pogo.com requires 6.6 [03:14] NetEcho_: Which two Javas do you already have installed? [03:14] makuseru, you may also need the medibuntu repository [03:14] Maybe you could uninstall the "bad" one and reinstall sun-jre. [03:15] Also, totally random but there seems to be a fish swimming on my screen [03:15] !medibuntu | makuseru [03:15] makuseru: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [03:15] NetEcho_: is sun-java6-bin installed? [03:15] tech0007, I ran that command and it said its already installed [03:15] Why is there a fish swimming around on my screen? [03:15] Xavura: Did you free the fish? [03:15] I don't think so [03:15] tech0007, yes [03:15] What fish? lol [03:15] NetEcho_ -jre is a different package from -bin [03:15] Free the fish? [03:15] SeveredCross: so what should i do? [03:16] !ot > Xavura [03:16] tech0007, just ran it for -bin its installed [03:16] Huh? [03:16] I am so very confused [03:16] tech0007, could it be -plugin? [03:16] Xavura, this is support not chat. [03:17] I noticed, there's a fish on my screen and it won't go away [03:17] nor can I install Opera [03:17] so I'm seeking support [03:17] Is that a problem? [03:17] !enter > Xavura [03:17] NetEcho_: yeah try it, and check tools->addons in FF for java [03:17] NetEcho_: Could you "aptitude search java" and tell us all the javas you have installed? [03:17] Xavura: http://www.linuxtutorialblog.com/post/gnome-easter-egg-free-the-fish [03:17] !opera | Xavura [03:17] Xavura: opera is an advanced and free (only as in price) web browser. Install it via Applications->Add/Remove..., making sure that "Show commercial applications" (dapper only) is checked. For more info on opera please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OperaBrowser [03:18] There is NO "Show commercial applications" [03:18] bazhang I thought they pulled opera from HArdy repos.. [03:18] Xavura, read the last link there [03:18] I'll check it out. [03:18] tech0007, It allowed me to open the window now but the applet loads as grey and does nothing [03:18] Jack_Sparrow, thought it was either on medibuntu or canonical partner repos [03:18] On that website it says [03:18] "(I have yet to discover how to get rid of that annoying fish again...)" === jedimind is now known as jedimind|foodstu [03:19] Xavura: Just restart gnome-panel to make it go away. === jedimind|foodstu is now known as jedimind|foods [03:19] Beryllium: Go to http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb where it tells how to add their repository. After that you can apt-get install it [03:19] NetEcho_ do u have the java(TM) Plug-in 1.6.0_06 in FF? [03:19] Whats a good dictionary in the repository? [03:19] bah. I just sudo cp'd all my Firefox 2 plugins to the FF3 plugins directory and JRE still isn't working [03:19] I don't know what gnome-panel is or how to restart it :P [03:19] Xavura: Log out and log back in. [03:19] Ok, thanks. [03:20] teamz, 1.6.0_06+b02 [03:20] err tech0007 [03:20] Xavura: log out [03:20] hehe [03:20] NetEcho_: lol, try clearing your cache and restart FF [03:20] tech0007, fresh install [03:21] tech0007, did install a java console addon and it seemed to work then [03:21] NetEcho_ thats nice [03:22] tech0007, thanks for your help [03:22] NetEcho_ np === genii_ is now known as genii [03:22] how should i name video files from youtube? *.flv or *.swf ? [03:23] Trying to setup wireless with an Atheros chipset - ar242x. Got ndiswrapper and setup went w/ no error messages. However, ndiswrapper -l shows ath_pci as an "alternate driver". I blacklisted ath_pci and ath_hal and uninstalled the restricted drivers. There is no ath_anything loaded. Where is that alternate driver coming from, and how do I stop it? [03:23] i just did an upgrade from gutsy to hardy. everything seemed ok, but when i reboot it hangs as soon as graphic image of ubuntu with the progress bar [03:23] I am still unable to play an .asf file that I have always listened to in firefox. I have installed the vlc mozilla plugin, although that is not one of the options for playing this file in the preferences. [03:23] tech0007: I think .flv is more accurate, but file names don't really matter much. [03:23] how do i pass to grub not to show the graphical startup indicator [03:23] It's actually a link -- http://mmslb.eonstreams.com/ktrsam.asf [03:23] trimeta: thats what i thought...im saving them as swf [03:23] hey tech0007 can you help me with a java issue too? [03:23] I'm not sure why I can't get any audio there. [03:23] I added the Opera repository and PGP Key [03:23] McQuaid remove quiet and splash [03:24] Now should I just do apt-get install opera? [03:24] !ask | Naisenu [03:24] Naisenu: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [03:24] Yes. I have asked three times and noone's answered [03:24] Keep trying, someone will eventually. [03:24] Xavura: Did you enable the partner repositories in your sources.list file? If so then yes it should work now [03:24] yet others coming after me get answered [03:24] Jack_Sparrow but can i pass it from startup or do i have to edit menu.1st via live cd first? [03:24] tech0007: i always save them as .flv [03:25] anyone know how to add a print menu option on the right click in Gnome? [03:25] I have no idea, I just followed the tutorial https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OperaBrowser [03:25] !mint > unavailable [03:25] McQuaid You can pass from startup.. e then e [03:25] i think it's better to get opera from the source. works great. [03:25] Naisenu: pls repeat ur question, i didnt catch it [03:25] just e then e? [03:25] wolfen69: You've got the source for Opera? Awesome! [03:25] Yeah, I did use Opera's repository as they said you get security updates quicker [03:25] Trying to get JRE working in FF3, it works in FF2. I just sudo cp'd all my Firefox 2 plugins to the FF3 plugins directory and JRE still isn't working [03:25] sudo apt-get install opera worked, I just tried it. Thanks for the help [03:26] would anyone here like to puzzle over the output of sdparm? [03:26] anyone know why someone would make ubottu pm me mint?? [03:26] ok sounds good. thx [03:26] np [03:26] youre the one that did it man [03:26] unavailable: Didn't you do it yourself? [03:26] Heh, Opera looks like a Vista app or something. [03:26] yah to remember what it said [03:26] isn't opera closed source? [03:26] Oh, dissociative identity disorder. Never mind. [03:26] the new opera is awesome [03:26] Soulwarp: it is [03:26] im talkin about earlier today [03:27] Is hydra or brutus available in any repo's? [03:27] Soulwarp: I was joking, he meant "downloading it from the official site." [03:27] The new Opera doesn't match Ubuntu though. [03:27] trimeta: gotcha [03:27] !mint > unavailable [03:27] and again... [03:27] why [03:27] i have an official distro [03:27] weird the Mp3 player won't mount when I plug it in [03:27] it may not "match", but it works great. [03:28] unavailable, the first pm was you -- !mint > unavailable the second was Jack_Sparrow -- !mint > unavailable [03:28] Naisenu: NetEcho_ what addon did u install to make pogo.co work for u? [03:28] unavailable It looked like you wanted it with the command you gave earlier [03:28] is there a separate chat for system76? [03:28] btw i finally got e-sword working with wine [03:28] tech0007, I installed the Java Console [03:28] hay all i need some help here. suddenly my etho on my acer 2920 can not be detected after i apt-get upgrade [03:28] bobsda again, i was talking about *earlier today* [03:28] NetEcho_: ok tnx [03:29] thinman1189: Nope [03:29] Does anyone have any ideas why I previously was able to listen to the following link in FireFox but now ubuntu is unable to play it -- http://mmslb.eonstreams.com/ktrsam.asf [03:29] so, sdparm, anyone know how to handle it? [03:29] Naisenu: Tools-> Addons in FF3, check if you see java plugin [03:29] unavailable because many of your questions dont make sense for someone using ubuntu [03:29] tech0007, ever have an issue that where you plug a USB mp3 player in and the player goes to sleep and Ubuntu doesn't load it? [03:29] which? [03:29] emma: Do what philh said for Naisenu. [03:29] unavailable Please stop the offtopic [03:29] genii: ok, thanks.... anyone know how easy it would be to dual boot xp on a system76 comp? [03:29] (Only for Windows Media, not Java.) [03:29] tech0007: No Java in there. [03:30] trimeta: sorry, I don't know what that was, could you paraphrase it? [03:30] NetEcho_ dont have an mp3 player, but that same thing happens when i tried my PSP, it doest mount automagically [03:30] Naisenu, pogo games? [03:30] emma: Tools-> Addons in FF3, check if you see Windows Media Player. [03:30] no a Java based chat room on a website [03:30] rtrt [03:30] err * [03:30] I'm trying to install ubuntu amd64 on an intel Core 2 quad. However, Whenever I get to run the live CD or try to install from the live CD, I get dropped to the initramfs prompt. What can I do to troubleshoot this situation. dmesg is giving me very few hints. [03:30] "automagically" [03:30] Naisenu: type 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install sun-java6-bin sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin' [03:31] Naisenu, try sudo apt-get install sun-java6-* [03:31] Soulwarp: haha [03:31] i've already got that installed and run that [03:31] It works in FF2 [03:31] Naisenu, try with the * [03:31] baegle To get live cd to run this often helps..At start or install press F6 and remove Quiet and Splash from the command line. If it still fails.. Repeat and after removing quiet and splash add noapic acpi=off before the "--" [03:31] Isn't there a way to make Opera use your native OS' look [03:31] I was missing a few packages it seems as well [03:31] It's ugly [03:31] baegle: Try from an external USB cd drive [03:31] tech0007: i havn't had trouble mounting my psp [03:31] trimeta: yes it is one of the plugins. [03:31] Anyone know if it would be easy to dual boot xp on a system76 comp? [03:31] Xavura: Install a theme which matches Gnome? Does Opera have themes? [03:32] thinman1189 I would suggest you look in supported hardware [03:32] Jack_Sparrow, is there somewhere I can go in Ubuntu to try to mount usb devices that don't auto-mount? [03:32] Soulwarp: could be my memstick,it isnt genuine, it works on the other one [03:32] tech0007: it usually detects it [03:32] Yep [03:32] emma: To be honest, I've never gotten asf files to play natively in Firefox, so maybe I'm not the best person to help you... [03:32] I think the Opera Web site is psychic... [03:32] emma do you mean playing it directly in fx? or using fx to open it with movie player? [03:32] is there a way to stop gdm autologin once, ussually i have my sisters computer login automatically but would like to be able to stop the autologin when i need to do something occassionally [03:32] Hey guys just did an apt-get install on kubuntu-desktop and when I restarted I get an error could not start kstartupconfig check your installation [03:32] tech0007: oh i see [03:32] hmm ok i booted hardy removing quiet, splash to see where it's hanging, it's hanging on my network card [03:33] ircalias: You could log out after it's already logged her in. [03:33] strange thing is though, the old gutsy kernel (which was fine) hangs at the nic as well [03:33] hi guys i need sum sed/grep/awk advise. I have a newline seperated file and i want to transform it from /([abc]+)(\t(.*))?/i into some kind of "$1\t; $2" [03:33] unavailable: I used to be able to listen to it with some plugin in firefox, but I will be content to get any thing to play it in any manner at all. [03:33] how is this possible? [03:33] no error, just found nic .... [03:33] does anyone know if anyone is working on pppd/pptp/vpn ? [03:33] Soulwarp: is there a workaround memsticks that arent genuine? [03:33] perl would be fine, too [03:33] ubilicious: maybe you could try sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop^ [03:33] A friend of mine using Windows is telling me that they are able to open it and play it. [03:33] trimeta: i know about that but can you not stop the login without doing that? [03:33] genii: Awesome, thanks!!

I have run across some usb's that are a problem.. but mostly it is when they are not properly unmounted from a systrem theat thay get locked down [03:33] baegle: I had this exact issue on an Asus P5K board, it was the controller for the IDE/SATA which meant installer could not understand what device it was using to boot and drops to busybox. But usb cd works to at least get it running [03:33] tech0007: i connect mine via usb [03:33] i cant open ect/icecast2 becuase i dont have permision, what do i do? [03:34] unavailable: you mean totem?

[03:35] all over the place [03:35] HealthyElijah: The binaries are in /usr/bin, or maybe /usr/local/bin. [03:35] danbhfive oh sorry thought that was a typo [03:35] it ain't windows to have program files [03:35] Naisenu: still there? [03:35] what is the "lost+found" folder? [03:35] HealthyElijah: The libraries, etc., are in different places.

Prior to its announcement on July 22, 2005, Windows Vista was known by its codename "Longhorn".[1] Development was completed on November 8, 2006; over the following three months it was... [03:36] Jack_Sparrow, nope didn't make a difference [03:36] ...released in stages to computer hardware and software manufacturers, business customers, and retail channels. On January 30, 2007, it was released worldwide,[2] and was made available for purchase and download from Microsoft's website.[3] The release of Windows Vista comes more than five years after the introduction of its predecessor, Windows XP, the longest time span between successive... [03:36] HealthyElijah: lost+found is where the filsystem check program puts things it finds which may be salvaged files when it checks the drive after a cold reboot for instance [03:36] ...releases of Microsoft Windows. [03:36] Windows Vista contains many changes and new features, including an updated graphical user interface and visual style dubbed Windows Aero, improved searching features, new multimedia creation tools such as Windows DVD Maker, and redesigned networking, audio, print, and display sub-systems. Vista also aims to increase the level of communication between machines on a home network, using... [03:36] tech0007: ScanDisk memory stick pro duo brand [03:36] ...peer-to-peer technology to simplify sharing files and digital media between computers and devices. Windows Vista includes version 3.0 of the .NET Framework, which aims to make it significantly easier for software developers to write applications than with the traditional Windows API. [03:36] PorkExpress: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:36] tech0007: hold on ... it's still installing [03:36] Microsoft's primary stated objective with Windows Vista, however, has been to improve the state of security in the Windows operating system.[4] One common criticism of Windows XP and its predecessors has been their commonly exploited security vulnerabilities and overall susceptibility to malware, viruses and buffer overflows. In light of this, Microsoft chairman Bill Gates announced in early... [03:36] (or possibly /etc//) [03:36] HealthyElijah: per-user config files will be in the user's home, usually in hidden directories. [03:36] emma got a page that links to it?? [03:36] genii: so i should keep that folder [03:36] lol [03:36] Vista FTL! [03:36] Is there a way to install ubuntu from inside a ubuntu install? I need to install another copy of ubuntu to the same hard drive.... [03:36] hey anyone, why are the ubuntu repos bad on the update, I noticed that some of the apps out like two versions back, and yet i upload the newest versions and they work on the latest ubuntu ? [03:36] HealthyElijah: Delete it or not as you like. It makes it automatically when needed [03:37] security wholes need to be patched ! [03:37] jamisnemo: why? [03:37] Soulwarp: both 4G (notgenuine) and 1G (genuine) say Sony, but i doubt it [03:37] jamisnemo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromLinux [03:37] hrm, I just went System->About Ubuntu, and it said I was running Gutsy Gibbon 7.10 ... is it just apt-get distupgrade to upgrade to 8.x? [03:37] dubby: Which holes are not patched? [03:37] unavailable: hmmm. Yes from the page itself, it looks like I was able to start something. [03:37] Hello, does anybody know how to turn on autoscrolling in openoffice :) [03:37] tech0007: from the locate command: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.03/jre/plugin/i386/ns7-gcc29/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.03/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so [03:37] danbhfive, because I don't have a cd drive or live cd with me.... [03:37] unavailable: I think maybe the page (it is a radio station in St. Louis) has changed it's protocol some how so that people have to be forced to navigate to the page in order to play it? [03:37] fd0 is floppy yes? [03:37] Flannel, I'll check it out thanks [03:38] Naisenu: hmmm....u should have the java plugin by now in FF [03:38] trimeta on samba there is a couple remote exploits patched with the two newest versions of it, yet the one on the ubuntu repose are the vulnerable ones [03:38] lemme try and find the sec focus [03:38] jamisnemo: well, I was going to suggest that you try a vm. But it depends on your needs. G'L [03:38] emma maybe [03:38] tech0007: Yes... the magic "should" ... [03:38] danbhfive, alright thanks [03:38] dubby, the ISO will only include program versions which are pretty much proven to work with the distro [03:38] dubby: It's possible the Ubuntu versions have patches for the security holes, but aren't actually the new versions. [03:38] man this is fantastic [03:38] Vista can go fuck itself for all I care at this point [03:38] i need to develop kernel stuff so running in vmware is kind of a pain === jedimind|foods is now known as jedimind [03:39] unavailable: get your sword stuff working? [03:39] tech0007: However ... I do not. Which is, to be honest, driving me bananas. [03:39] genii: when you said USB cd you mean a cd drive that connects via USB? [03:39] Beryllium: No. dist-upgrade only upgrades kernel releases within a distribution. To do dist to dist upgrade you need package update-manager [03:39] !language > oobey [03:39] mneptok yep, using esword. [03:39] oh. Good to know. :) [03:39] baegle: Correct. An external drive connected through USB port [03:39] tech0007: And no, it is not in the Tools > Addons > Plugins section. [03:39] heh, sorry. anyway, off to my regular server. [03:39] spoon_man: Are you there? [03:39] genii: That's not really correct, but answers his question. [03:39] unavailable: gnomesword hates you? [03:39] hey, Um I am a completely new user to ubuntu so err I'm having some trouble with certain things. [03:39] gnomesword dont like bbl files [03:39] what I really need is a working PXE booter... but the one I have doesn't work... [03:40] SSDf, describe your problems [03:40] genii: hmmm, I don't have one of those..... [03:40] pxe installer rather [03:40] trimeta: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/29404/ [03:40] right now getting audio to work [03:40] Flannel: Well it also upgrades apps to whatever next is available [03:40] hay all i need some help here. suddenly my etho on my acer 2920 can not be detected after i apt-get upgrade [03:40] well rather [03:40] though that is a bad example [03:40] It plays audio files etc [03:40] Sup bros [03:40] genii: No, I meant the requiring update-manager part.

[03:40] hey guys, im trying to compile THC hydra. ./configure goes ok, but i get errors on make. http://pastebin.com/f3db8a5fc -- what can i do to resolve them? [03:41] philh: yes. i went to the OO.o chanell but it's dead [03:41] Some of my softwares runs far too slow (especially some intensive with the sound card, like Audition, FL Studio, and a few others) [03:41] deejaypip You just need to be patient.. they are never as busy as we are [03:41] Kcaj, wine on my machine runs things faster then they run on xp yes [03:41] deejaypip, Tools>Options>View then change middle mouse button from paste clipboard to autoscroll [03:41] tech0007: You got any ideas there? [03:41] Flannel: I'll research more :) [03:42] pilh: thanks! [03:42] trimeta: you saying that the 3.0.28 package has the 3.0.30 fixes in it? [03:42] dubby: The 3.0.28a-1ubuntu4.2 has the fixes, yes. [03:42] OK I am having problems with setitng up my audio, certain things work But other such as getting beeps etc during notifications or logging on are still not working. [03:42] ok nvm [03:42] :-) [03:42] Naisenu: did u try renaming your .mozilla dir? [03:42] Wonderful; thank you so much. My OO.o is working great. /quit [03:43] tech0007: In Home or /usr/lib? [03:43] Jack_Sparrow, because of ubuntu lacking support for my mom's 2gb rechargable mp3 player she just got punked for my 1gb AAA battery mp3 player :P [03:43] why in the world would the live CD be trying to read from fd0? [03:43] dubby: http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-617-1 [03:43] Naisenu: home dir [03:43] damnit I need to learn vista but I also need linux..... [03:43] nice way to copy ;-) [03:43] * jamisnemo flips coin [03:44] tech0007: name it to what? [03:44] jamisnemo: Dual-boot? [03:44] My 1gb mp3 player worked perfectly [03:44] NetEcho_ most mp3 players have a mode that lets them look like a flash or removeable drive.. all of mine work.. 4 diffedrent ones [03:44] trimeta, I'm already about to set up a quad boot :( [03:44] tech0007: Could I just copy it and rename it? [03:44] I think I'll use vmware for vista... [03:44] NetEcho_ The ipod ones.. are a different matter [03:44] Jack_Sparrow, this one is a pretty cheap one so tis probably an issue with it [03:44] Naisenu: skip that one...whats the output of 'file /etc/alternatives/xulrunner-1.9-javaplugin.so' [03:45] Jack_Sparrow, Sylvania 2gb cost like $10 at the grocery store [03:45] jamisnemo: Keep in mind that Vista has pretty steep HD and RAM requirements, so it might not be so great in a virtual machine. [03:45] arr that's what I'll do [03:45] dubby: i didn't copy, i looked it up. [03:45] NetEcho_ read the manual. there is almost always a way to get it to read [03:45] dubby: try it sometime :P [03:45] but hey I just got myself a rechargable mp3 player [03:45] tech0007: /etc/alternatives/xulrunner-1.9-javaplugin.so: ERROR: cannot open `/etc/alternatives/xulrunner-1.9-javaplugin.so' (No such file or directory) [03:45] Jack_Sparrow, tis fine I wanted this one instead of mine anyway lol [03:45] NetEcho_ what make and model.. let me try and look it up [03:45] trimeta, I know.... but I don't need speed... I just need to learn where stuff is in it... [03:45] can i install 32bit apps on 64bit Ubuntu? [03:45] Naisenu: aha.. [03:45] genii: did you receive the message "no common CD-ROM device found." [03:45] NetEcho_ np [03:45] Jack_Sparrow, since mine works she gets mine lol [03:45] Bodsda: If you've got a /usr/lib32 directory, then yes. [03:45] !chroot > Bodsda [03:45] (which I think you do.) [03:46] danbhfive: I get 2 conflicts 1 is between libgd2 and libgd2-noxpm and the other is with libgpod3 with libgpod3-nogtk [03:46] i need help guys, the gnome is slow on my machine.. how can i install xfce ?? [03:46] Jack_Sparrow, i think chrooting is a bit overkill [03:46] Naisenu: i got '/etc/alternatives/xulrunner-1.9-javaplugin.so: symbolic link to `/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so' [03:46] i need help guys, the gnome is slow on my machine.. how can i install xfce ?? [03:46] my audio output is in use by some unknown application and i can't play any sounds.. how can i find out what app is using it so that i can terminate it? [03:46] airstrike: sudo lsof /dev/dsp* /dev/audio* /dev/mixer* /dev/seq* /dev/snd/* [03:46] tech0007: Okay. So.....? [03:46] Bodsda that is the accepted way of running 32 bit apps on 64 bit os... I personally dont recommend people use 64 bit [03:46] waveflow: apt-get install xfce4 [03:46] trimeta, i have a /usr/lib32 and cant install 32bit apps [03:46] how do i show file extensions in my nautilus [03:47] Bodsda: I actually only use 32-bit Ubuntu, so it's possible Jack_Sparrow is correct. [03:47] Some of my softwares runs far too slow (especially some intensive with the sound card, like Audition, FL Studio, and a few others) [03:47] Is there a way on Linux to run Windows programs faster than XP? :( lol [03:47] (I use 64-bit Gentoo.) [03:47] (sorry I missed any previous answers) [03:47] airstrike: or restart the audio subsystem with "sudo invoke-rc.d pulseaudio restart" [03:47] baegle: Something to that effect, yes [03:47] Naisenu: are u done with the d/l? FF looks for its plugins in the right dir so its not finding your java plugin [03:47] all i got was 'mixer_app', which i can't terminate [03:47] Also [03:47] Jack_i dont suppose theres anyway of changing from 64 to 32 without reinstalling is there? [03:47] Kcaj: Try Wine, otherwise probably not. [03:47] i thought vncserver would allow remote controll of myhost? i have to use x11vnc? or perhaps a settings I have not enabled? am trying to control a fedora from an unbuntu.. [03:47] genii: I'm not getting that problem. Did you have SATA opticals? I have IDE opticals [03:47] airstrike: that's mixer_applet2. [03:47] Kcaj, what apps [03:47] Kcaj /join #winehq and ask there [03:47] Is WINE known to run faster than Windows sometimes? [03:47] HealthyElijah, i didn't realise it hid them [03:48] Mostly FL Studio [03:48] tech0007: Yes the d/l is done. The only thing it couldn't do was d/l the doc. [03:48] apt-get install xfce4 <---im a noob, should i type anything b4 this, will i have the option to run gnome or xfce during boot??? [03:48] Bodsda: reinstallation is easiest. and you just had your "64 bit isn;t a great idea" lesson. ;) [03:48] philh: in mine it is. [03:48] !appdb | Kcaj check here [03:48] Kcaj: There are some linux native audio programs you might want to try out [03:48] waveflow, yes - via the session button in gdm [03:48] Also what is best text editor for the Loonicks? [03:48] baegle my sata optical works fine here.. [03:48] I mean, in general [03:48] Kcaj check here: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org [03:48] waveflow: type sudo before it. You may want to install xubuntu-desktop instead [03:48] wth [03:48] waveflow, the little session button where you login [03:48] ubottu lag [03:48] baegle: I have IDE optical drives but the controller for it is integrated with the SATA controller and so it did not work out-of-box. [03:48] You have lag, I don't have lag [03:48] waveflow: you'll want "sudo" at the beginning [03:48] none of those solutions worked ;( [03:49] ubilicious: did other packages install? [03:49] genii: That's kind of bunk that I have to buy new hardware just to install Ubuntu [03:49] Kcaj: CLI or GUI? [03:49] airstrike: why don't you kill the pids? [03:49] danbhfive: all of them did but those 4 gave me probs [03:49] mneptok, a few times now ive gone to install a deb from a site andd the debi installer moans about wrong architecture, so yeah im quite annoyed atm,.,.i dont think il be using 64 bit for about a year now [03:49] lesson learned [03:49] Bodsda: it's a bummer of a lesson, i'll admit [03:49] even if i kill mixer_applet2, the problem remains [03:49] that's weird.. [03:50] my system is 1.7ghz 384ram... should i install the xubuntu?? or get the xfce running on ubuntu instead? [03:50] airstrike: what problem? [03:50] baegle: If you have some ancient hard drive cntroller card around it would work to use for installing. [03:50] waveflow, there is no reason to reinstall [03:50] ubilicious: its not important. Did it fix your problems? [03:50] mneptok, luckily, ive learned quite a few lessons in the past, and i have a seperate /home pasrtition, but is there anyway of preserving my installed apps? [03:50] genii: you mean like a PCI IDE controller or something? [03:50] baegle: Yes [03:50] !clone [03:50] Bodsda: you can backup a package list [03:50] To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate [03:50] well time constraints.. :) so what do u guys suggest [03:50] Naisenu: if u still dont see java plugin in FF, u have to do symlinks manually [03:50] baegle, are you using the main CD or alt? [03:50] baegle: Like a Promise TX133 or something [03:50] waveflow, if you want - open terminal - sudo tasksel and select the xubuntu desktop [03:51] danbhfive: Oh I didn't know that would fix it I thought it was debug feature or something [03:51] Glynn_Talbert [03:51] tech0007: Do I need to create that folder for it? [03:51] Jack_Sparrow found out why, it has some form of propriatary windows driver [03:51] danbhfive: I will try it [03:51] waveflow: Getting xubuntu running on an Ubuntu is the same as running xubuntu. Theyre the same distro, just with differnet GUIs [03:51] NetEcho Ugh.. sorry [03:51] * mneptok hugs his PSP [03:51] <[1]Coded1> is there a kernel boot param for 8.04 that will copy the CD to ram, i tried "copy2ram" but didnt work [03:51] Jack_Sparrow thats fine I have a windows desktop whereas my mom is never allowed to touch windows again at home [03:51] waveflow: see http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce [03:51] emma u still there? [03:52] Bodsda: Out of curiosity, what 32-bit app do you nead? [03:52] *need [03:52] genii: I'm using the main CD. [03:52] Naisenu: '/etc/alternatives/xulrunner-1.9-javaplugin.so' should point to '/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so' [03:52] does anyone has used FastCGI? [03:52] trimeta: the Flash plugin is the killert [03:52] Jack_Sparrow, mneptok -- well, time to see if i still have a 32bit live cd lurking around [03:52] -t [03:52] genii: and no, I don't have an IDE controller [03:52] trimeta, THC hydra [03:52] Yes. [03:52] unavailable: yes. [03:52] Bodsda Wish we had an easier way.. [03:52] emma http://lightningstream.surfernetwork.com/Media/player/scripts/player.aspx?call=ktrs [03:52] bbl === elisboa is now known as elisboa-off [03:52] bookmark that [03:53] Hi guys.. I am trying to get wireless working on this laptop and im having no luck.. Everytime I try and download something from the ubuntu fourm i get permission denied [03:53] tech0007: As the last paste stated i don't think it has that /alternatives folder [03:53] I guess I'm going to have to try new software. Any chance the alternate installer would have better luck? [03:53] bbl [03:53] can i install xfce via gnome?? i find terminal hard [03:53] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=197102 [03:53] baegle: As philh suggests perhaps try the alternate. It does have some more drivers on it like nvidia SATA controller drivers and marvell SATA controller drivers. [03:53] unavailable: I think the most likely explanation at present is that the radio station changed it's stream protocol or link while I was unaware of it. [03:53] Jack_Sparrow, me too ;~) if i keep writing on my wall how many times ive reinstalled il have to buy new wallpaper soon [03:53] Bodsda, most of what you install is installed to somewhere in your /home dir,, so you may have to reinstall the app, but your settings should be there [03:53] emma: what station? [03:53] it appears the above is the direct link [03:53] SeaPhor, ty ;~) [03:53] Why would I get access denied on the fourm? [03:53] unavailable: yes try this, I found this also: mms://nick11a.surfernetwork.com/ktrs [03:53] Bodsda: There are ways to install 32-bit Flash on a 64-bit system, though frankly they can be flaky. [03:53] tech0007: Can I not just cp the .so file into the /usr/lib/firefox-3.0-3.04b/plugins/ dir?

[04:20] /j #debina [04:20] melol2: If you do that, you'll probably want to pass some extra stuff to the ./configure script so it knows where to install.

[04:28] crimsun_ I will try that, thank you [04:28] genii so when i want to use the root i creat one from system restore ... [04:28] Hardy was a little bit of a bust for me [04:28] dolphin_noel: Root account is normally disabled. But anyone with sudo rights can do su command. So usually that first username you made during install [04:28] vaportrail123new you got 32 or 64 bit proc? [04:28] i dont know how to copy and paste in the terminal [04:28] trimeta:can i use the ubuntu repo inside windows [04:29] Does anyone know where to get the latest version of TinyXP? [04:29] Naisenu: 'chmod +x [file].bin && sh ./[file].bin' [04:29] byonix: No, wubi will set up a dual-boot system. [04:29] leachim6, what is the issue. [04:29] @trimeta i dont know how to copy paste in the terminal [04:29] vaportrail123new you got 32 or 64 bit proc? [04:29] i just want to use the updater [04:29] how do i get a newer version of the updater [04:29] nvidia GeoForce FX 5500 acting up, no more Visual Effects, Penguin Racer doesn't work (blank screen) and keeps asking for restart [04:29] 32 [04:29] and what's wrong with ubuntuforums.com [04:29] it won't load for me [04:29] waveflow, sorry, missed that. highlight the text in the terminal, then press the middle button in the box on the browser [04:29] waveflow: Then type one character at a time. Or, if you used gnome-terminal from within X, you can highlight something and then middle-click to paste. [04:29] Everything worked under Feisty [04:30] vaportrail123new you from usa? [04:30] anyone else having an issue with the b43 wlan driver complaining about transmission errors in dmesg? I'm talking 20-30 in a row, then sometimes seizing up input and screwing with my trackpad [04:30] ripdisk: http://ubuntuforums.org/ [04:30] genii so i init the computer from restore and creat one acount that can have root acess and do what i need ... and then i simple ... delete the acount so after thta the acount that dont have login canoot be possible to change right?! [04:30] vaportrail123new, what version of ubuntu are you trying to update? [04:30] yupo [04:30] yeah that's what i meant [04:30] it won't load [04:30] and i'm just trying to get my sound to work in zsnes [04:30] any1 can tell me how can I get simply accounting or Quickbooks in here (I am from Canada)....thanks === jedimind is now known as jedimind|beer [04:30] !enter | ripdisk [04:30] ripdisk: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [04:30] it says 6.10 [04:31] vaportrail123new http://ubuntu.media.mit.edu/ubuntu-releases/hardy/ubuntu-8.04-desktop-i386.iso [04:31] I want to bind compiz's "EXPO" function to button8 and button9 (thumb and pinky buttons) this way it works like an apple mightymouse. compiz config tool won't allow mouse chording. any thoughts? [04:31] I'm tired of telling people the issue .... i'm just going to install hardy server ... which doesn't come with policycrap [04:31] vaportrail123new take that iso, burn it and reboot with it in your cd rom [04:31] Nasra: dunno Quickbooks will run in Wine, you can try running it w/in a vm [04:31] leachim6: why don't you just use gutsy (7.10)? [04:31] okies [04:31] thanks man [04:32] vaportrail123new, you need to change your sources, gksudo /etc/apt/sources.list and change them to use old-releases.ubuntu.com . Then you will be able to update the updater. [04:32] tech0007: I don't have it how can I run it if don't have it..... [04:32] http://paste.ubuntu.com/22775/ <--here it is [04:32] Nasra: run what? [04:32] bleh [04:32] thanks man [04:32] dolphin_noel: It would be difficult to change without access to the console of that machine. To boot it into single user mode for instance, or use a livecd to bypass the security on hd [04:32] waveflow, ok [04:32] crimsun_, because I like hardy's core features and it's LTS [04:32] vaportrail123new: Also: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardyUpgrades#head-db224ea9add28760e373240f8239afb9b817f197 [04:32] vaportrail123new, unavailable's advice is much better [04:32] tech0007: Quickbooks [04:32] I'm sure it will be fixed in an update eventually [04:33] leachim6: 7.10 is still supported, but sure, that's your choice. [04:33] could you tell me what exactly to type in term once i get there [04:33] crimsun_, that and and asoundconf-gtk seemed to do the trick, thanks :) [04:33] hi kenalan doonkz [04:33] dolphin_noel: Keep in mind what you would be doing is effectively a one-way process [04:33] Nasra: QB is proprietary ...check this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=175213&highlight=accounts+receivable [04:33] tech0007: Well that was great fun: result of the sh ./[longnameoffile].bin http://pastebin.com/m63d508ab [04:33] so I can to remote into my machine and have control over my current x session, what would I use to do this? I am on gnome. [04:34] tech0007: okay ...let check that...thanks [04:34] Why would Hardy keep asking me to restart after an update. [04:34] so I want to remote into my machine and have control over my current x session, what would I use to do this? I am on gnome. [04:34] waveflow: Did you make a separate partition for /boot? [04:34] after ksudo /etc/apt/sources.list, what should i do [04:34] Naisenu: use sudo [04:34] i did [04:34] crimsun_, I still have gutsy on this box ... but it's only on a 10gb partition and I don't feel like migrating it [04:34] genii but to do this they need to have fisic acess to the computer [04:34] gksudo /etc/apt/sources.list rather [04:34] and I have no room on the drive to resize [04:34] @trimeta yes, i allocated 50 mb [04:34] dolphin_noel: Yes. [04:34] vaportrail123new, that won't do anything [04:34] genii right :) [04:34] tech0007: sudo chmod +x jre-6u6-linux-i586.bin && ./jre-6u6-linux-i586.bin [04:34] waveflow: And is /boot nearly full? [04:34] you have to do gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [04:34] mikeb55: xdmcp [04:35] oh i think i know what to do [04:35] i dont know , how do i check it? [04:35] vaportrail123new, the real command would be gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list , then changing all the url's to old-releases.ubuntu.com . But use the iso that unavailable gave you and install the latest [04:35] Naisenu: where did u get this? [04:35] waveflow: First "sudo mount /boot", then "df -h" [04:35] dolphin_noel: This is also the only way you could add a user back in with sudo rights again [04:35] tech0007: Sun. [04:35] anyone else having an issue with the b43 wlan driver complaining about transmission errors in dmesg? I'm talking 20-30 in a row, then sometimes seizing up input and screwing with my trackpad [04:35] ok [04:35] Naisenu: 'chmod +x jre-6u6-linux-i586.bin && sudo ./jre-6u6-linux-i586.bin' [04:36] genii so finish possible data corruption ... [04:36] :) [04:36] waveflow, see trimeta . Or, put the results of df -h and cat /etc/fstab on the pastebin [04:36] mikeb55, look at the later part of this,,, http://www.wood-bee-co.com/woodbeeco/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=40&Itemid=63 [04:36] screenlets>desklets [04:36] tech0007: This page: http://java.com/en/download/linux_manual.jsp?locale=en&host=java.com the second link. [04:36] Naisenu: 'sudo ./jre-6u6-linux-i586.bin' [04:36] /dev/sda3 46M 41M 2.9M 94% /boot <--- i think its full [04:36] in administration , configuration shure ... [04:37] waveflow, yep [04:37] waveflow: Paste the output of "ls -lh /boot" to the pastebin. [04:37] what should i do? [04:37] wut wut [04:37] dolphin_noel: Well, at least intruders from logging in and doing damage in that way. Data corruption can be a result of other things than that as well (bad HD, etc) [04:37] How do you install a font? [04:37] waveflow, you're gonna delete some stuff in that partition, do the dpkg --configure -a , then do some cleanup. see trimeta ;) [04:37] !font | Leefmc [04:37] Leefmc: Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer [04:37] ty [04:38] anyone know what programming languages it takes to build a website that utilizes a database? [04:38] waveflow: Basically, when you past that output we'll be able to see how many old kernel versions you have, and then you can uninstall a few. [04:38] nickrud, ok when i ran the live cd before install, i set my network to static ip, then installed and it kept the settings from the live cd... is that a fluke or is ubuntu designed to be like that? i.e. if i change the config in the live session, then install from there, will my settings be kept? [04:38] http://paste.ubuntu.com/22776/ [04:38] here [04:38] SeveredCross: :D [04:38] thanks guys for the help. i look forwards to using ubuntu [04:38] unavailable, hm, never installed from a live cd [04:38] david__: php integrates well with mysql or postgre [04:38] I got it working!!!! [04:38] sweeeeet [04:38] unavailable, or a recent one anyway [04:38] hmmm [04:38] genii, just php and msql? [04:39] now... if only the 7 hour 27kb/s download would speed up -.- [04:39] what is NDISWRAPER? is that a program which wraps windows drivers for nix [04:39] apo_: :D [04:39] waveflow: I'd probably "apt-get remove linux-image-2.6.24-16-generic" [04:39] yay [04:39] I've just added a second drive to my system for storage. How do I give myself regular user access to write to it? [04:39] david__: If you have a mysql database you can interface to it fairly easily with php, yes [04:39] just hit 100 kb/s. wonder why that is... [04:39] mikeb55, you get that? [04:39] !ndiswrapper | sugaryse [04:39] sugaryse: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [04:39] genii, k thanks alot [04:40] david__: np [04:40] hocmin, with the disk mounted, chown : /path/to/mountpoint [04:40] vaportrail123new because you said something about it? [04:40] hocmin, with sudo, of course [04:40] tech0007: Still nothing! [04:40] weird question, but has anyone ever beat the OS at connect four? i found it to be impossible >< [04:40] genii shure :) but intruders and to one probably bether security probably is one good idea :x [04:40] vaportrail123new: yes. and it's damn near impossible [04:40] When I try to install linux it says "The ext3 file system creation in partition #1 od SCSI1 (0,0,0)(sda) failed" [04:40] vaportrail123new good luck... try chess too. [04:40] nickrud, thanks, but that'll only give one account access to it, right?

The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [04:41] holy waveflow use pastebin [04:41] waveflow: Sorry, I should have said to do that with sudo. [04:41] hocmin, you did say yourself ;) [04:41] ow sorry [04:41] sudo is your friend [04:41] genii: Hmm.. I've got pearpc started just fine now, but it doesn't recognize any "bootable" partitions. I've setup my Leopard .ISO as the cdrom in ppc.conf. [04:41] so is pastebin [04:41] How do you scan for viruses on ubuntu? ;P [04:41] nickrud, right. My mistake for not being more clear [04:41] (kidding hehe) [04:41] dolphin_noel: If you're that set on blocking them maybe make the default shells for the users without logins something which is not a valid shell. So not /bin/sh or so but /bin/false [04:41] rofl @ leefmc [04:42] !virus [04:42] A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [04:42] Naisenu: did u follow http://java.com/en/download/help/5000010500.xml#100? [04:42] When I try to install ubuntu this happens.. "The ext3 file system creation in partition #1 od SCSI1 (0,0,0)(sda) failed" [04:42] unavailable: I was kidding btw :p [04:42] dolphin_noel: So if some way they su to that user they have no shell anyhow [04:42] are there any cool easter eggs within the OS? [04:42] hocmin, you can do it several ways: giving group write to the disk, and adding any user you want to be able to write there to that group. Or, just make it writeable by all [04:42] Can I get help? [04:42] tech0007: The only thing I haven't done is this part: "ln -s /usr/java/jre1.6.0/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so" [04:42] leefmc well... you install avg using wine, then make it scan your windows drive [04:43] Is there a good color picker in the repos? [04:43] unavailable: haha [04:43] does anyone know the default installation path of Mozilla ffx3 [04:43] Reformer: Bummer. I haven't used it extensively enough to really help from here [04:43] hocmin, which do you prefer? [04:43] genii: Okay... thanks anyway. [04:43] secret: pure guess, but possibly an issue with the hard disk?? [04:43] LeefMc: to add fonts from windows. go to the C/windows, copy the Fonts foder, paste it in your home folder, not in the documents folder, change the folder name with .fonts, restart x server, the windows fonts can be use in openoffice [04:43] PrimoTurbo: try agave [04:43] ok when i ran the live cd before install, i set my network to static ip, then installed and it kept the settings from the live cd... is that a fluke or is ubuntu designed to be like that? i.e. if i change the config in the live session, then install from there, will my settings be kept? [04:43] Vaport:How Do I fiix it...? [04:44] genii yes understand thanks for the idea :) [04:44] still E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [04:44] have a lot of people had problems with the new -19 kernel? [04:44] unavailable: the latter [04:44] dolphin_noel: np [04:44] i mean.. to remove such file the dpkg is still there [04:44] secret: if its a hardware issue, u can try slow formatting it, or buying a new hard drive [04:44] genii i'm only a litle newbie to :x that why i'm making this questions :x [04:44] so i cant remove it [04:44] waveflow: OK, you're going to have to do things the hard way. [04:44] radams so if install whatever in live session then run setup it will have all i did in the live session on my install? [04:44] but i'd reccomend backing anything you dont want to nuke [04:44] tech0007: File already exists. [04:44] unavailable: yes. [04:45] niice [04:45] lol the hard way :D [04:45] but, again, thats just a pure guess at the problem [04:45] waveflow: Do the following after someone other than me says it's a good idea: sudo rm both of the files ending in .bak, and then try sudo dpkg --reconfigure -a again. [04:45] Vaport:Well there is no existing OS on the PC and What is slow formatting? [04:45] Naisenu: does java work in other browsers? [04:45] does anyone know the default path that i can find mozilla ffx3 [04:45] Hey guys im using pmi to suspend my laptop ive been using an alias for pmi action suspend is there a way to setup suspend to work when i shut my lid? Command line/config files prefered [04:46] fbthpg: you can use which to find commands in your path [04:46] fbthpg: Do you mean the Fx 3 executable, or the libraries, or what? [04:46] which commandname [04:46] hmm... secret, dunno what to tell you. has the hard drive been used before? [04:46] sup [04:46] fbthpg: try the locate command, like "locate firefox" [04:46] i need the installation path... im re-installing a new flash plugin [04:46] secretcode6 you may also be able to zero it out with http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=395937 [04:47] Vaport:Yes,It was a windows 98 pc I removed the OS and it has been sitting in my house doing nothing ever since [04:47] hmm... specs? [04:47] fbthpg, dpkg -L firefox-3.0 lists where the files are [04:47] tech0007: FF2, yes. Opera, yes. [04:48] thx nickrud [04:48] fbthpg, you should use sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree libflashsupport , rather than installing the plugin by hand [04:48] question: what to use for ubuntu: opera or firefox3 [04:48] interest [04:48] Naisenu: fresh hardy install right? [04:48] fbthpg, if you're manually installing a plugin, the path should be /usr/lib/firefox-addons [04:48] vaportrail123new: question: vanilla or chocolate cake? [04:48] vaportrail123new: If you want Java issues, don't use ff3 [04:49] Should I manually install Ubuntu [04:49] ? [04:49] lol fair enough [04:49] tech0007: Old version of something. I can't remember. [04:49] spoonman... negative [04:49] but i've been wrong before -- FF3 has like 5 different folders scattered across the OS in which plugin files can be found [04:49] ^^not kidding [04:49] holy bejeezus! my download speed just hit 305kbps!? [04:50] waveflow, I just saw what trimeta said about rm'ing the .bak stuff, that should work just fine [04:50] how to set the equalizer in rhytmbox / ubuntu [04:50] tech0007: How do I check version number again? [04:50] vaportrail... ive seen turds move faster than that [04:50] so should I maulay install instead of guided or not? [04:50] Naisenu: which software? [04:50] maunly* [04:50] tech0007: Ubuntu [04:50] Secretcode6: You mean manually partition? [04:50] Trimeta:Yes [04:51] Naisenu: 'lsb_release -a' [04:51] spoonman, lol, yeah I've had different installs of hardy have different links. there's more than one in the alternatives system also [04:51] niasenu i have java issues and i use fx3 [04:51] tech0007: 7.10 [04:51] troof === sheep is now known as Starnestommy [04:52] spent a half hour with a guy, tracking his down. didn't match mine at all [04:52] Should I maunly partion or not? [04:52] unavailable: Exactly my point. I've been talking with tech0007 for gods knows how long to get the damned thing working [04:52] fbthpg, if you want to install flash, you may just want to try navigating to youtube or something and letting it automate the process [04:52] naisenu 8.04.1 [04:52] that's what I did [04:53] unavailable: Congrats. 7.10 [04:53] Secretcode6, depends, if you're installing on a free drive, just let it do guided. [04:53] secretcode6 you have anything on there you wanna keep? [04:53] Secretcode6: If you're worried that the guided will clobber your existing Win98 partition, then use manual. [04:53] Naisenu: gutsy had issues w/ java, i did something to make it work but ican rmember [04:53] Secretcode6: If you don't care what gets wiped, use guided. [04:53] spoonman, i did... and i opted to install a open-source flash plugin that.. blows [04:53] haha, gnash? [04:53] how much kbps does irc generally use [04:53] tech0007: So upgrade to the Heron? Or fresh install? [04:54] Naisenu: fresh install of hardy is best [04:54] fvthpg i used sun and it works *when it wants to* [04:54] fbthpg, gnash can be kind of assy [04:54] it is... [04:54] But Guided won't work [04:54] errr [04:54] I gave up on gnash after about 5 minutes [04:54] vaportrail123new: for me it's around 100 bytes per second [04:54] i mean adobe [04:54] I get error "The ext3 file system creation in partition #1 od SCSI1 (0,0,0)(sda) failed" [04:54] trimeta: I always use manual. I want a seperate /home partition. It makes it a LOT easier to install from scratch later on! (You can even try Suse or RedHat and you /home will be preserved....) [04:54] tech0007: Then I have to remember everything I did to get it working. Like dual-monitors :P [04:54] and its a pita to get rid of [04:54] that smells about right [04:54] fbthpg, do the install I gave you above, then run sudo update-alternatives --config firefox-addons-flashplugin [04:54] er, less than that [04:54] Naisenu: haha [04:54] fbthpg, that will let you switch away from gnash [04:55] Naisenu: backup your conf files ie xorg.conf [04:55] Speaking of dual monitors, is it normal for Compiz not to work with dual monitors? Worked fine on a single. [04:55] Naisenu: I have 3 monitors (and two video cards) and it works fine ! [04:55] secretcode6 then try manual [04:55] ok [04:56] what should I check in maunal? [04:56] ace2001ac: I added my second monitor and it just failed to enable Compiz [04:56] again. thanks [04:56] I think the only thing I miss about Windows at this point is software-based preamps [04:56] well set most as ext3 format box checked mount point "/" [04:56] hey guys. i have a laptop with a screwed up lcd display (8.04) that ive hooked up to an external monitor. for some reason, no matter what i do, the image appears to be too large for the external monitor... can anyone help? [04:56] Naisenu: i spent couple of hours last tiem i tried to make java work when i had gutsy...i remembered i googled the error when i ran FF3 in terminal [04:56] for some reason I can't launch frostwire anymore [04:56] Secretcode6: how large is your disk !? [04:57] then set the rest *anyone got any suggestions* mb as swap [04:57] tech0007, I think when fixing Java for firefox it broke it for frostwire [04:57] IDK [04:57] unavailable i usually use 2gb for swap [04:57] can anyone help with Cairo dock on Hardy? [04:57] NetEcho_: is frostwire like limewire? coz i dont use either [04:57] ok [04:57] cadwgawn [04:57] ANd the only other thing that bugs me about dual monitors is that I want it to treat each monitor as it's own. So I have this goofy looking tiled wallpaper on a 1900x1200 (i think) [04:57] tech0007, its the opensource version of limewire [04:57] cadwgawn whats up? [04:57] um... hi? [04:58] NetEcho_: i use torrent [04:58] aata I use twice the Ram for swap with a max of 4GB [04:58] hello ! [04:58] unavailable for laptops, ram + 100mb , for most anything else 512mb is good enough [04:58] cadwgawn whats up with cairo dock [04:58] Naisenu: switch Xinerama off.

[06:08] ace_suares nah, got about an hour to kill, talking to crazies is a fine unwinder [06:08] is there anyone that can help me [06:08] ace_suares this still really irritating though i have to look to my shiny new 17" monitor for 3/4 of the screen and my screwed up, broken lcd for the other 25% [06:09] my eyes hurt [06:09] * ace_suares slaps nickrud with a (crazy) trout ! [06:09] vozniak, what are you trying to run in wine? [06:09] spoon_man: Warcraft III Frozen [06:09] what is the name of the name of that app where tabs are minimised [06:10] aata: hmmm so you have 75% on one screen and 25% on the other ? sounds like a resolutuin problem.

Using this seems to work but is NOT recommended. Do you want to use this?" [06:11] i dont see that applet in add to panel list [06:11] !away | swansk [06:11] what is your problem elvis [06:11] swansk: You should avoid changing your nick in a busy channel like #ubuntu, or other Ubuntu channels - it causes unrequired scrolling which is unfair to new users. (Please set your preferred nick in your client's settings instead.) The same goes for using noisy away messages; use the command "/away " to set your client away silently.

[06:12] You can always remove them if they don't work [06:12] elvis: bad drive ? works under other os ? [06:12] I downloaded the script and it's asking me things I'm not sure on [06:12] it has been done [06:12] howdy guys - how can i install wpasupplicant offline? the computer i want to install it on doesn't have net but i do have access to internet on another and can transfer a dpkg via memory stick - i had a look in archive.ubuntu.com but i don't know how to navigate it [06:12] I am not installing any version of Ubuntu, I am using Ubuntu [06:12] Xavura what script!?

[06:13] ace_suares: ah nice, thanks [06:14] Make sure you have all the prerequisites [06:14] * ace_suares is dazed and confused after trying to follow hundreds of lines of cross-conversation... sleepy time!

[06:16] browse it and see, xavura ;) [06:16] Lucifer666: metaphysics.py, invoke "import mountaindew" [06:16] If I click on it I get "Cannot Mount Volume - The volume uses the file system which is not supported by your system."

[06:21] Radams: "man fdisk" in the console? [06:21] Or should I pm it, I don't know what it contains [06:21] StephenZ: the easer way probably is gparted [06:21] !pastebin | xavura [06:21] Xavura: is it an ntfs ? Sometimes when you dont close XP down good, it's 'dirty' and you need to restart Win to 'repair' [06:21] unavailable, yes i mean the whole file [06:21] Xavura no, put it on paste.ubuntu.com [06:21] why cant i get my aterm to transparent [06:21] I have. [06:21] Xavura ah, then give me the link here, so I can look at it ;) [06:21] But it doesn't contain anything that I don't want people seeing, right? [06:21] Vozniak: I can get that in the Add menu? [06:21] Ah ok http://paste.ubuntu.com/22783/ [06:21] Xavura nah, it's ok [06:22] StephenZ: sudo apt-get install gparted [06:22] RAdams: fdisk is for disk partitioning...mkfs is for formating [06:22] stephenz: gparted is probably easier, vozniak is right. fyi, "man" and then a command in console gives you the manual page [06:22] StephenZ: fdisk is NOT for fomatting. It's for partitioning. You need mke2fs ! [06:22] 大家好，我 该如何设置 ，才可以令其默认是thunderbird接收邮件 [06:22] 8-) [06:22] so does anybody know what happens to a source file in a failed cut-n-paste operation? [06:22] Xavura run sudo mount -a , then look again [06:22] !cn | london [06:22] Vozniak and RAdams: Thanks. Nabbing that, now. [06:22] ubutto is sleeping [06:22] bummer [06:23] nickrud: mount: unknown filesystem type 'ntfs-fuse' [06:23] Xavura: on hardy, ntfs should run natively. [06:23] Isn't that the experimental thingy, fuse something or other [06:23] Xavura then that script is outdated, do gksudo gedit /etc/fstab , and change ntfs-fuse to ntfs-3g [06:24] nano_: huh ? what do you mean by that ? [06:24] anybody can say if ubuto repos openJdK is full compatible with sun-jdk? [06:24] "ubuntu" [06:24] Xavura where did you find the link to that script? [06:24] vozniak do a search for it on google, it just passed the sun stress test [06:24] nickrud: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions [06:25] Xavura thanks, that needs updating [06:25] ace_suares, say i say cut-n-paste a file, and the target drive runs out of space....and the cut-n-paste operation has to be aborted....what will happen to the source file, will parts of it be deleted, all of it?

[06:25] does anyone know how to access my clipboard? [06:25] vozniak compare the version in ubuntu to the one that was tested, I guess [06:26] nickrud: doing [06:26] vozniak I'm using the sun one, so I'm not sure about it [06:26] nano_: oh.. i get you now. The original file will PROBABLY not be deleted before the other file is SUCCESFULLY written. That's unix for you! [06:26] is a daemon required when using speedstep ? [06:26] nickrud: a guess openjdk not stable yet [06:26] Xavura success? [06:27] ace_suares, wow, thats neat...aer you 100% sure?

[06:32] aata: go shoppng or sleep ;-) [06:32] according* [06:32] ace_suares: gparted is for format and part [06:32] the funny thing is that i only have fat32 so that if i need to have this drive accessed by windows, i ll have compatability...other than that i could be careless about fat32 [06:32] Xavura no, I was distracted and it scrolled off my screen. A sec [06:32] ace_suares yup gonna go buy some books [06:32] can some one help me install the latest java plz [06:32] I'll paste it, if you want. [06:33] ace_suares: gparted IS for formatting. fdisk is NOT. some person who was tired and half-paying attention (cough me cough) told him fdisk. gparted is fine [06:33] nickrud: /media/ is still empty and clicking on "82.3 GB Media" in "Places" gives me "Unpriveleged user can not mount NTFS block devices using the external FUSE library.

[06:33] <__ryan__> but why would you [06:33] __ryan__: gui [06:33] could the 2 in the name of the library be causing this, or could it be an amd64 issue? [06:33] nano_, there's an app you can use to access ext3 from an NTFS-based OS, if you want to make the switch sometime [06:33] * nano_ eat [06:33] RAdams: StephenZ: okay, i didn;t know that, format away then :-) [06:33] ace_suares: when did gparted stopped being one of the ebst apps used to format disks? [06:33] <__ryan__> it's way easier to type mkfs.* /dev/blah [06:33] So, being as I intend to use this harddrive as a secondary file drive, and from which to run programs that take up a large amount of disk space (and thus, do not belong on my primary drive), which format should I format as? [06:33] <__ryan__> :P [06:33] Xavura http://paste.ubuntu.com/22784/ last line, make the edit in your fstab so it looks the same (ntfs-fuse replaced with ntfs-3g) [06:33] or was it ext2... [06:34] gparted is the easier choice to format something [06:34] StephenZ: ext3 [06:34] __ryan__: easy for someone who is comfortable using terminal. for those who can grok a gui better, gparted is a good choice. [06:34] saint-takesh1: i think you need a -dev. [06:34] spoon_man, thnx [06:34] <__ryan__> RAdams, i suppose so yeah [06:34] Anyone here coding in ruby ? I want to switch from c/c++/c# ... but these tutorials are moronic :( [06:34] nickrud: If I mess up the editing, will it break anything? [06:34] Killeroid: Thanks.

[06:35] RAdams ok tnx [06:35] someone have ati and last drivers? [06:35] ace_suares: thanks, i'll try that just now [06:35] StephenZ: if you wanna use access that drive from windows then fat is better but if you are accessing the drive from a unix installation only then ext3 [06:35] Xavura nothing that can't be fixed easily. This is only affecting your windows partition, everything else is just fine. Only edit the last line [06:35] Killeroid: Yeah, I'm going full-Ubuntu. [06:36] Holy cow. [06:36] Sock: ruby is offtopic, pleas got to #ror or #ruby, and yeas, I am coding a bit in ruby-on-rails. [06:36] I think it's actually done. [06:36] Can it really format that fast? [06:36] nano_: yeah, there is a maximum file limut but if i remember correctly its 8TB [06:36] *and [06:36] nano_: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_systems (16GB to 2TB, depending, read the ext3 article) [06:36] StephenZ: yes, it can [06:36] hi [06:36] how to check if installed wireless network card?

[06:37] Killeroid, RAdams : that is intense......the other day, i thought i heard talk about ext4, i don't know what ext3 is missing, therefore, why bother with ext4 [06:37] ubuntu ver 8.04!

Change ntfs-3g to just ntfs . Sorry [06:41] nano_: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext3#Disadvantages [06:41] Killeroid, thnx [06:41] nickrud: No problem, if it wasn't for you then I wouldn't even be this far...

[06:42] oh a question, anyone else here got ATI2900XT ?

[06:43] * RAdams offers to show pictures of "too high a clock" to StephenZ === dmsuperman is now known as [dmsuperman] [06:43] StephenZ: what did you format the drive as and where did you mount it afterwards? [06:43] the ATI drivers i got trough add/remove [06:43] Bring it, RAdams. [06:43] Hey gang, I know about Squid proxy for Linux, but what are the best solutions for a proxy server for windows? With login control (best integrated with the Active Directory), site logging, and access control? Thanks :) [06:43] Sock you could try the latest 8.6, envy-gtk will help you install them [06:43] Killeroid: Formatted it as ext3, mounted it on the only mount point I was given: /media/TH4NG [06:44] TH4NG being the name of the drive. [06:44] * nickrud thought he would _never_ recommend envy [06:44] nickrud : do i have to recompile the kernel ?

I always recommend rebooting into windows and letting windows clean up after its own mess [06:46] nickrud: So it should be working now? [06:46] Driver version 8.47 [06:46] tech0007: ive done that before [06:46] it still says im using no video drivers & plug & play monitor [06:46] Xavura yep, that message means that linux is knows how to mount it now, but is being careful [06:46] warcaptain: did u try changing 'vesa' to 'intel' in xorg.conf [06:47] nano_ not simply, no [06:47] nickrud: /media/ is still empty and the drive in Places still gives a mount error. [06:47] Xavura did you reboot into windows? Linux won't mount it until you get it marked as 'not in use', let windows do that [06:47] tech0007: i tried changing it to intel in displayconfig-gtk [06:48] it doesnt even let me do it [06:48] nickrud, basically, today i updated my compiz stuff, and ever since, im getting annoying brief horizontal lines - that are temporary - across my screen...? [06:48] hey im recompile my kernel because of a patch, and got the linux-source-2.6.24 package, and when i recompile will it be comparable to the packaged 2.6.24-19! what makes the 19 part? [06:48] Sock: in synaptic package to underclock ati is called rovclock [06:48] nano_ haven't seen that here (but I also haven't updated) [06:48] hot damn! the option NvAGP set to 1 in xorg.conf DOES fix suspend problems with nvidia-glx-new! [06:48] nickrud: Do I have to do anything after booting into Windows [06:48] i keep geting "unable to launch the application" when trying to install sun java 6u6 [06:48] StephenZ: unmount and try mounting again "sudo mount /dev/hdxy /media/TH4NG" [06:48] warcaptain: 'sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf' [06:49] legend2440: if it works it will be a life saviour tnx. a a lot :) [06:49] well i fixed something on a computer today, i can go to bed. night all. good luck xavura and stephenz [06:49] can some one help [06:49] StephenZ: replace hdxy with correct disk [06:49] RAdams: thanks [06:49] !ask | Method2oo7 [06:49] Method2oo7: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [06:49] Nicke, i didn't have any prob's before the update, now it seems like the update created these annoying lines.....do you typically update yourself at first opportunity? [06:49] Xavura nope. Just boot into it, if it's an external safely remove it, then shut down normally and boot back into linux. It should be mounted automatically on boot === kat is now known as Guest32767 [06:49] it's internal. [06:49] Xavura the first it in that sentence is 'windows' [06:49] tech0007: why does it say 'Configured Monitor' for everything?? [06:49] Ok, thanks [06:49] well not monitor [06:49] but it says 'Configured' so and so for everything [06:49] Killeroid: In this case, TH4NG? [06:50] i keep geting "unable to launch the application" when trying to install sun java 6u6 can some one help [06:50] Rather than HDxy. [06:50] Or you mean sdx? [06:50] warcaptain: hardy has minimal use for xorg.conf, it usually detects the right card but it still can be set in xorg.conf [06:50] well it does a crappy job [06:50] that auto-detection is probably why it takes forever to start up [06:50] warcaptain: lol [06:50] nickrud, what option in /etc/fstab will make a drive be mounted automatically at boot? [06:50] legend2440: looks exacltly the thing i wanted 10x [06:50] i sit at the ubuntu loading screen for like 2 minutes [06:51] Method2oo7 are you installing 6u6 from the ubuntu repositories? [06:51] hello what is a good program to make disk images [06:51] schnoowork: dd [06:51] no from the java site [06:51] tech0007: so im not sure what to put in for these values [06:51] where is lenovo e290m wireless drive [06:51] schnoowork: the make them or burn them? [06:51] nano_ simply having it listed in fstab. you would add the option noauto to prevent automounting at boot [06:51] schnoowork: partimage or ntfsclone [06:52] warcaptain: back it up first 'sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak' [06:52] Method2oo7 sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin , that will install 6u6 for you [06:52] nickrud, thnx [06:52] hey ppl. I need the symbols font, but can't find it with aptitude. Anyone know what it's called? [06:52] hey, how can I prevent myself from needing to type modprobe ndiswrapper every time I boot up? [06:52] tech0007: it shouldnt be too hard to restore a backup of this.. everything is default [06:52] how dumb [06:52] StephenZ: "sudo fdisk -l" and find the drvie you wanna mount, use its device name [06:52] Method2oo7 as a general rule just about anything you would install from a website in windows is installed from the package repository in ubuntu [06:53] tech0007: right anyways, its backed up [06:53] I have 8.04 installed, and everything is ok, but the screen resolution for the gdm login is so big, I can't get to the options button that lets me choose my dm. [06:53] warcaptain: 'sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf'...look for Section "Device" [06:53] someone have ati and last drivers? [06:54] Killeroid: Tried it, didn't work. [06:54] StephenZ: what didnt work? [06:54] Well, I unmounted it, then remounted it with the command you gave me, then tried creating the folder agani. Same error. No permission. [06:55] Werdna: try putting your modules in /etc/modules ;) [06:55] Rav1 I think you would want ttf-opensymbol [06:55] tech0007: right, im just not sure what to type in [06:55] is there a GPG frontend for Ubuntu where you can Manage and create GPG keys for encrypting folders? [06:55] StephenZ: oh, did you first create the folder that you are mounting to (sudo mkdir /media/TH4NG) before mounting? === mmattice is now known as Guest69627 [06:56] NetEcho: seahorse? [06:56] Well, it was mounted there before as NTFS. [06:56] warcaptain: add Driver "intel" in "Device" section [06:56] do I have to use the gconfigurator to choose the gdm screen resolution? [06:56] macrobad does it create a menu item somewhere? [06:56] And trying the command brings up "File Exists," so.. Yeah. [06:57] macrobad nm found it [06:57] ahh brasero can do disk dumps so thats ok :) [06:57] i play runescape and i have to use "unsigned applet using default java" but i want to use "signed applet using default java" can some one help === skillet_ is now known as skillet [06:58] StephenZ: wait, i thoguht you said you coudn't mount the disk [06:58] schnoowork: brasero isn't good for burning live cds [06:58] *thought [06:58] NetEcho: if gnome-keyring is not good enough... As for the seahorse, yep it does. See http://www.gnome.org/projects/seahorse/ [06:58] nickrud: thanx, but it seems in my opensymbol that this is ordinary letters... [06:58] No, I could mount the disk, fine. It was last night I couldn't mount it. [06:58] Someone helped me with that. [06:59] It mounts fine... Mounted up as NTFS, then unmounted it, formatted it as EXT3, mounted it back, and tried to make a new folder. [06:59] The problem arises there. [06:59] I lack permission to make that folder, for some reason. [07:00] StephenZ: what command did you use to mount the disk? [07:00] Rav1 there are symbols in there, but unicode. Not sure what you're looking for then [07:00] how do i change my monitor to Samsung Syncmaster 2253BW [07:00] macrobad does it always take a while to generate a key? [07:00] First time, I did it with Gparted. [07:00] StephenZ: You may create a folder as a root, and then change its ownership so that you could write anything there [07:00] how can i backup the movie Jumper can some one help [07:01] Method2oo7: what do you mean by "backup"? [07:01] ok, big picture: I want to be able to reboot my system, and still have remote axx without logging into the system. long story: I have my password set in 'Remote Desktop Prefences', which I am guessing is vncserver, now how do I set this to all vncserver to run, even at the login screen ? [07:01] StephenZ you need to change the permissions of the folder it's mounted to, after it's mounted. What kinds of permissions do you want? Owned by you, or writeable by others? [07:01] NetEcho: yes, it depends on the key algorithm, and its length. Generally, the program is waiting for random input (from a billion of different places) [07:01] So long as I can write to it, I don't care. [07:01] copy to my computer [07:01] I'm the only user of this computer. [07:01] StephenZ sudo chown : /path/to/mountpoint [07:02] warcaptain, you can usually ignore specific monitor settings unless you're experiencing issues [07:02] macrobad so does using the encrypt file/folder option act sorta like OS X's file vault? [07:02] nickrud: It seems to be working now, thanks for all the help. [07:02] is anyone successfully sharing files via samba while ufw is running? if so, can you tell me what applicable rules you had to set? [07:02] Nickrud: Last time I used "chown" it boned my whole OS. [07:02] Xavura I don't think I'll forget that ntfs-3g is depreciated ;) [07:02] Got a question though, when I go to "Places" it is listed, as I stated earlier, as 82.3 GB Media. [07:03] help! How do I resize partitions from Ubuntu Server 7.10? I can't resize while I'm using the OS, and there is no live cd to boot from.. [07:03] StephenZ yes, it's a powerful command. That's why the /path/to/mountpoint has to be right [07:03] Can I not rename it, to say "Windows HDD" or whatever. [07:03] If so, how. [07:03] tech0007: so now i save it and ctl+alt+bkspc? [07:03] In this case, /media/TH4NG, right? [07:03] warcaptain: yup [07:03] xavura, my windows partition is similarly named (just a different GB number, natch) [07:03] and I can still boot into windows [07:03] [07:04] brb [07:04] spoon_man: How do I rename it, if I right click it I have no option to rename or anything [07:04] NetEcho: Sorry, I've never used OS X. What seahorse does is key management and desktop integration, the rest is done by GnuPG: it encrypts the file with strong cryptography. So, you'd need to store your private keys in a safe place only. [07:04] Are there any free programs that work in Linux for recording what is on your screen? [07:04] Xavura yes, you can give it a label. Install ntfsprogs, unmount the drive (umount /path/to/drive) run sudo ntfslabel /path/to/drive
