The manual page does not show any options to do that [00:17] you caught me about to go home for the day :-) [00:17] Ads-: open that file with a text editor you're familiar with, you'll need sudo privileges in this case .. like "sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list" .. [00:18] geirha, I have had it print output im sure i did :) [00:18] regeya, my guess is ddrescue /media/mydisk/thelocation /home/myuser/myfolder [00:18] oh...gavi, well, if you're just copying a directory, that's not really the purpose of the thing...really, the purpose is if, say, you have a drive about to go out, and want to make an image of the drive. [00:18] Ads-: if you have the file open, look for those two lines you pasted and remove both [00:18] alraun1: its booting [00:18] yea, I can't find anything either in info/man :( [00:18] oh well [00:18] overlordpuppy, apt-cache search python-wx [00:18] thanks anyway [00:18] gavi, however, a good choice for doing that would be...

Then, mount the image (you can probably double-click on it, or at least it works on os x) and copy what you need. the idea being you don't want to trust the failing drive. now, iirc if you [00:21] IdleOne: trying it [00:22] and now, I'm sorry, but I really must be going...hasta [00:22] dynoll3: check out EnvyNG [00:22] regeya, thaks for the help.. i was trying to avoide doing that [00:22] alraun1: its booted [00:22] Ads-: if not comfortable with the commandline, you can also open 'Software Sources' via your menu and remove the cd-rom lines on your 'Third Party Software' tab [00:22] hey how do i make it quietly boot up again?

[00:46] check your sound card settings for mic. output [00:46] Sanctusorium: emerald is a window decorator, that doesn't touch your panel [00:46] alraun1: 31939 [00:46] virtualbox crashes USB after installing av on windows guest and linux host [00:46] can you pls temme how to check that? [00:47] gil: ?? the link ?? http://www.paste.ubuntu.com/31939 ? [00:47] glitsj16, okie, what do I use to change my panel? [00:47] alraun1: yes [00:47] vierranet-> ask #virtualbox if they have a anything on that [00:48] Sanctusorium-> try to right click on it and select properties [00:48] i can't tell you sorry because now i'm working on the slackware :\ [00:48] gil:..could not locate remote server, please give the correct (and whole) url from the browser [00:48] owkay thats fine. thanks neway [00:48] alraun1: http://paste.ubuntu.com/31939/ (you cant that because of the "www.") [00:49] Okie, I got it to be see through, but is that the only way I can edit it? [00:49] Bonsoir [00:51] .whenever i mouse over .wav files they start to play, anyone know how I can turn this off? [00:51] gil: yup that worked, if u type: sudo blkid /dev/sda, whats the output (pastebin) ? [00:52] <__yy_> I'm trying to get a profile of how much memory processes are using on my machine. top shows ~98% memory usage, whereas ps -eo '%mem' output totals ~50%. Why would there be this discrepency? [00:52] alraun1: it apears nothing [00:53] is there a way to uninstall compiz^ [00:53] and re-install it after [00:53] gil: k, try something else: sudo -s (should be root then )... [00:53] check out this awesome screenshot, it took a little work so my dual screens would look right... [00:53] http://s82.photobucket.com/albums/j263/IndyGunFreak/?action=view¤t=Coltsscreenshot.jpg [00:54] alraun1: nothing again [00:54] * IndyGunFreak is very sorry, wrong channel [00:54] gil:are you root now ? [00:54] how we uninstall compiz? [00:55] alraun1: yes but the blkid command doesnt worked again [00:55] Hi, for some reason my HP Laserjet 4 connected through a JetDirect prints everything which should be printed at 600DPI double sized (so basically in 300dpi), 300 and 150dpi are fine, but look like crap, would anyone have any idea what this could be? Windows clients seem to be able to print perfectly at 600dpi :/ [00:55] dynoll3: its kinda part of the OS, just disable(set visual effects tab to none) [00:55] Sanctusorium: you can use a background image to go with your theme if you have one, again via right-click > background properties .. i guess that's about it .. and the reason why some people propose to expand it's themeability (http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/8112/) [00:55] kk [00:55] gil: k, type : mkdir /mnt/hd [00:56] alraun1: done [00:56] gil: k, type : edit /etc/fstab [00:56] hey guys i would like to know if anyone knows any tut about connecting ur pc to an electrical device to make it run on certain command for example i have a circuit with a pulp and when i execute a command the pulp lights on and off { and which programming language should i use} [00:56] thnx [00:57] hello running XP in virtualbox in ubuntu, but i cannot get the mouse to capture, any help/ thoughts?

[00:57] BinaryDragon: where would that be? this is my first time running vb [00:58] hey for compiz: they say--- accessibility= Disabled [00:58] Abed: there are a number of ways you can do it. But this'll be more appropriate for #electronics or #ubuntu-offtopic [00:58] how i fix that to eneble [00:58] alraun1: unknown mime-type, can i try with another program? [00:58] thnx Flannel i will check them out now but do u have any idea now just for understand the concept [00:58] gil: kate /etc/fstab ?? [00:59] fajalou1:give me a second,let me give you a link [00:59] hey for compiz: they say--- accessibility= Disabled [00:59] how i fix that [00:59] gil: works ?

I'm having problems when trying to install cinelerra... [01:01] gil: make shure fstab has a blank line at its end, sav e n close the file [01:01] how come right after I sign on here, some weirdo private messages me with crap? Happens frequently. [01:02] in my compiz windows they say--- accessibility= Disabled --- how i put it on enable?? [01:02] Anyone here can tell me how can i install the php pdo driver for sqlite? [01:02] gkffjcs_: apt-get install gparted [01:02] BinaryDragon: ?? [01:02] everton137: "uname -r" will tell yoy the current kernel you use, if it ends in -rt you're on a realtime kernel [01:02] someone wanna help me? [01:02] alraun1: done [01:03] rfswitch help :-)! [01:03] alraun1:nvm [01:03] gil: mount /dev/sda1 [01:03] glitsj16, yes, I guessed that, thanks. Then I'm not using it [01:04] alraun1: I have gparted installed but when I create a new partiton the option to create an ntfs partition is greyed out, I know that gparted can create an ntfs partition cause when I reboot into a gparted live cd it works, so I am assuming I am missing a package to enable that function. [01:04] What does the "GLib main loop support" mean in the CompizConfig Settings Manager? [01:04] alraun1: special device /dev/sda1 doesnt exist [01:05] gkffjcs_:ntfs3g ? [01:05] gil: mount -a [01:05] Could anyone help me with setting the connection with other pc (windows) by LAN. I mean, the connection is on but i dont know how to send internet to him so that he can also use it [01:05] BinaryDragon: i have tried it, but i don't get how to do it,,, help? [01:05] alraun1: same [01:06] How can I assign a sound to the Ctrl^C Copy operation like there is in windows? It's handy to know when something successfully copied to the clipboard. [01:06] someone here use RFSWITCH? [01:06] alraun1: I have all the stuff to mount and use ntfs in linux, I have gparted, I have a blank usbdrive that I want to reformant to ntfs, if I select ntfs in gparted the option is greyed out, yes I have ntfs-3g. [01:06] I guess the sound then, would actually be for a clipboard activity? [01:06] everton137: look at akirad.cinelerra.org for a ubuntu repo , the rt kernel you can install via apt-get or synaptic [01:06] fajalou1:can you get to the options where you can select a cd to be mounted on the guest? there you should see the opetion to mount hte virtualmachine addons [01:08] im using wine to run steam, but for some reason when a game loads its so horrible so that the graphics, etc are really messed up, is there a reason for this? i can watch dvds, youtube, etc all fine but just when the game loads it sucks, i cant even make out letters [01:08] glitsj16, yeap, I tried follow akirad instructions and repo, but I have problems installing cinelerra. Now I'm trying openmovieeditor, wich also downloaded some files from akirad repo [01:09] gkffjcs_:don't really know what it is then, right now no time to find out, sry (permission maybe) sudo gparted, sry [01:09] bonsoir [01:09] everton137: i see, perhaps it's down .. any specific errors or warnings when trying to install it via apt-get ? [01:09] at first i thought my graphics card might be messed up, but if it was wouldn't dvds and everything on my screen be like that [01:09] gil: pastebin the output of: mount === asac_the_3rd is now known as asac [01:10] <__yy_> Is there any reason there would be a discrepency between the memory usage shown for my machine by top vs the output of ps -eo '%mem' . Top shows 90+% overall, whereas the ps output sums to ~50%. [01:10] can i wifi with my windows xp via virtualbox [01:11] alraun1: http://paste.ubuntu.com/31946/ [01:11] glitsj16, http://paste.ubuntu.com/31947/ [01:12] glitsj16, My kernel 2.6.24-19-generic [01:12] how can i figure out an ip of a skype contact? [01:12] everton137: ok, checking [01:12] how do i see my path? (i am used to windows, sorry) [01:12] gil: just mount, without options > pastebin [01:12] i have a ruby script -- i am looking for where to save it [01:12] <__yy_> bonhoffer: echo $PATH [01:12] alraun1, pwd === Linuxman is now known as Copperpot [01:13] __yy_, thanks -- where should i put my scripts so they execute automatically . . . [01:13] BinaryDragon: it didn't work... [01:13] <__yy_> bonhoffer: on startup or periodically? [01:13] is wine in the repos the latest version? how do i find out? [01:13] alraun1: http://paste.ubuntu.com/31949/ [01:13] looks like /usr/local/bin -- whenever i call them . . . [01:13] daggerx: sort of. You can run a virtualized windows xp guest and nat or bridge it to the connection of your wireless [01:14] <__yy_> bonhoffer: you mean so that you can call them from the command line without typing a full path? [01:14] yes [01:14] diff between /usr/bin and /usr/local/bin ? [01:14] <__yy_> bonhoffer: typically ~/bin is used for personal user scripts, although it might not be in your path by default [01:15] bonhoffer: cultural historical: /usr/local/bin usually denotes that a package was compiled from source. But this is not a hard and fast rule [01:15] got it -- that is what i want -- then what is /usr/local/bin for -- bash default scripts [01:15] okay guys, I'm going to seem like a moron here, so please forgive me... [01:16] I just installed xubuntu 8.04....where the (#*$#( is the "User Interface Settings" menu? [01:16] stupid question but i'll feel even more stupid if a i don't ask it so here goes.Where can i recover my password for the ubuntu forums? [01:16] state your problem/ask your question Coder365_2 :D nobodys a moron :) [01:16] dude [01:16] I need a port scanner. [01:17] namp [01:17] er [01:17] Hey guys, I have a problem running games on my laptop. (counter strike source in particular ) when i start it up it freezes 10 seconds in, but it starts.. any ideas? [01:17] mrpockets: try nmap [01:17] nmap [01:17] Im trying to run an .avi video but im getting this on mplayer's output: Failed to open LIRC support. You will not be able to use your remote control. Any idea about how to fix it? [01:17] tlove let it be ;) [01:17] nmap... is there something more? :P [01:17] can i wifi with my windows xp via virtualbox [01:17] if it runs fine then good! [01:17] lol [01:17] you guys have a spammah [01:17] everton137: have you tried removing package mpeg3-utils yet ? according to what the paste shows that might conflict with libmpeg3hv-generic from akirad .. [01:17] mrpockets: apt-get install nmap [01:17] It doesn't run at all :[ [01:17] badlook: there is zenmap, an nmap frontend gui [01:17] <__yy_> getBoa: that doesn't actually stop you from running videos. [01:17] getBoa, lirc support is nothing to do with playback [01:17] gil: gparted, try to mount the /dev/sd1 (size 'bout 19 gig) [01:17] frontend for lamers :P [01:17] I'm thinking of getting a macbook, can I triple boot mac, windows and linux? [01:17] tlove o, check on the wine sie to see if counter strike will run [01:17] glitsj16, he cannot, let me see the error [01:17] daggerx, if u configure eth in virtualbox and ur computer is connected you should have internet in virtual machine [01:18] ludic, I'm on it [01:18] !wine > tlove [01:18] tlove, please see my private message [01:18] I just wanna try to test my endian firewall from the outside [01:18] I have a HD USB, Its automounted, but is with 700. How to do to automount with 755? [01:18] everton137: lines 15 & 16 of your paste [01:18] anyone know where the "user interface settings" menu is in xubunut? [01:18] nmap mrpocktes [01:18] i have internet now via lan koops, and that it [01:18] mrpockets: then you should also look at nessus [01:18] I don't know a whole lot about network security, or hacking, so i'm trying to figure out the both in hopes to maybe take this domain and close its legs a little [01:18] hal14450: __yy_: but I cant rewid or forward the video [01:19] is there a clear set of instructions that show how to wifi with virtualbox koops? [01:19] getBoa, then it's probably a poorly encoded avi file [01:19] <__yy_> getBoa: are you using a remote? [01:19] * Coder365_2 backs away from potentially illegal activity [01:19] when using VLC, it crashes... Totem restarts the video [01:19] mrpockets: nmap is a basic port scanner. nessus is a full scanning tool. metaspoilt is going a bit too far [01:19] lol [01:19] __yy_: not a remote [01:19] <__yy_> getBoa: sounds like a bad video file [01:20] __yy_: I guess so [01:20] FAJALOU1: see my private message please. [01:20] <__yy_> getBoa: LIRC is only related to using infared remotes, so that's not going to have any effect on playback [01:20] __yy_, hmm my script isn't running without typing in the full path -- do i have to re-initialize where the path is? [01:20] or what is in the path [01:20] __yy_: got it [01:20] i chmod'ed the file to be executable [01:20] gil: could u mount the systems disk ? [01:20] <__yy_> bonhoffer: no, you can just put a script in one of the path directories and it should work [01:21] <__yy_> bonhoffer: try running which yourscriptname and see if it gives you what you expect [01:21] glitsj16, let me try to install libmpeg3hv-generic before isntall cinelerra [01:21] oh -- it does, sorry [01:21] i cannot get virtualbox to capture the mouse, any help please.. [01:21] everton137: might work yes [01:21] I currently use Amarok to transfer music to my MP3 player. However, it screws up all the MP3 tags making it difficult to be organized on my player (random characters added to tags, some tags not being copied at all). Does anyone know any way to fix this behavior? Or have suggestions for other programs that will allow me to sync (I've tried Rhythmbox, Exaile and Banshee; none of them let me specify a directory structure [01:21] when copying files). [01:21] daggerx: it isn't that complicated. you don't actually have to do the wifi. Just have the guest connect as a nat client to the host [01:21] Well that video uses the tssc video codec... but couldn't find any thing else that replaces or does the same thing of that codec [01:21] does anyone know if there is a page on the ubuntu forums for me to recover my password? the box that has it cached is in pieces at the moment [01:22] alraun1: the line about /dev/sda1 has an triangular yellow icon with a "!" [01:22] Reformer81: check the tags before you move them... i use easytag to edit all my tags, and i've never had an issue w/ AMarok [01:22] daggerx: you should also consider vmware player (it's free as in beer) [01:22] IndyGunFreak: I use Amarok to edit my tags. [01:22] gil: right click > mount possible ? [01:22] IndyGunFreak: I have almost 2,000 files to copy... they're properly tagged in Amarok. [01:22] Reformer81: well are you saving them before you move them to the mp3 player? [01:22] hmmm [01:22] anybody know how to find out the version of a package in the repos? [01:22] IndyGunFreak: Yes... they've been saved a long time ago. [01:22] Reformer81: makes no sense, i've had no issues like that w/ Amarok. [01:22] ugh spam [01:23] itai-michaelson: look up the package in aptitude [01:23] IndyGunFreak: Hmm.. maybe it's the player itself, then. [01:23] hal14450: just got it too. [01:23] hal14450: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-recover-password-under-ubuntu.html [01:23] mexican restaurant? [01:23] Where do I go to report spam [01:23] hal14450-> try using the livecd to recover [01:23] Reformer81: what player? [01:23] alraun1: when i do that it appears a window with the same error i saw with console [01:23] glitsj16, yeahh, this package is the problem http://paste.ubuntu.com/31953/ I tried to solve it before, but didn't handle [01:23] IndyGunFreak: Insignia Pilot 4gb [01:23] <__yy_> itai-michaelson: apt-cache show packagename will tell you [01:23] you're missing the point i want my forum password [01:23] Reformer81: i guess thats possible, i only use Ipods and have had no issues. [01:23] gil: which error ? [01:23] hal14450: lol... sorry [01:24] alraun1: special device /dev/sda1/ doesnt exist [01:24] ok, so how do i do the guest connection deal [01:24] just got spammed [01:24] IndyGunFreak: Except that Exaile copies everything fine (it just copies to the root folder of the device instead of organizing it within /Music/ like I want it) [01:24] I freaking love NDISWrapper, it got my poor little laptop online again <3 [01:24] gtg [01:24] __yy_, so looking for wine the syntax will be apt-cache show wine? [01:24] Do u consider urself a man? If u do, then u just might b da man I need 4 da job. I am looking for a male jackoff partner to live with me during football season. Each time my fav team(NE Patriots) score, we jack eachother off. Each time Tom Brady throws a TD pass, we suck eachother off. Big dicks prefered. PLEASE SHOW ME A DICK PIC. No dick pic, I will ignore you. So let me know if ur da man i need 4 da job. [01:24] Moth: He's using several different nicknames...

[01:25] Moth: Tontito... ?? [01:26] everton137: same error indeed .. perhaps removing mpeg3-utils will let you install it properly, can't tell if that package is a must for you .. looks like something to report at bugs.launchpad.net if it isn't already [01:26] itai-michaelson: search for the package in synaptic, and then look at the version # [01:26] coming infrom me mac [01:27] glitsj16, thanks for your help, I will try cinelerra later :) I'm off the computer for today.

[01:46] what strange are the problems of the peoples! [01:46] :) [01:47] harpreet: change a few files to look like they were made a while ago [01:47] onthefence929: I saw a Columbo like that once [01:47] Hi there, I recently set up my sister's laptop with linux and I seem to be having some difficulties accessing her ipod's full library on Amarok. some help please, I'm kind of a beginner.

[01:55] rexus: hibernation is often problem there, think its an acpi-related problem [01:55] rexus: i alternate, becaus ei don't know which is better [01:55] onthefence929: you can use touch -t [01:55] Anyone here have an X-Fi? [01:55] Nope. [01:56] ImperialJester: good, they're more trouble than their worth [01:56] my laptop can come back on from hibernate, but the problem is, after a screen saver and monitor off again, it started to get hang [01:56] harpreet: and what does the -t do exactly?

[02:10] Hello, does anyone know of a command in the live cd to install ubuntu to disk? - Instead of the gui installer (I can't press the buttons in 800x600 and I get get a larger screen resolution) [02:10] My ubuntu is not saving my changes. I reboot and it doesn't save when I changed my desktop to a cube. [02:10] * ApOgEE- away pi opis [02:10] not sure if anyone would know if this is correct or not but does this command seem valid? [02:10] cp /boot/config-`uname -r` ./.config [02:10] MatthewMetzger, try installing from the Alternate CD [02:11] I installed intel c++ compiler in ubuntu8.04.1 But i can't find it in system menu or anywhere else.Help me to find it out [02:11] th0r: that's what I'd like to do, but I don't have a blank cd at the moment.

[02:12] Big_Buddha_Daddy: again, what browser please [02:12] I love the alternate cd, but I lost my last one and can't burn a new one. [02:12] Big_Buddha_Daddy: PM [02:12] MatthewMetzger: why can't you burn another [02:12] MatthewMetzger, did you try changing screen resolution via system>preferences>screen resolution [02:12] Big_Buddha_Daddy: pm me [02:12] IndyGunFreak: I don't have any blank cds handy. [02:13] oh [02:13] bloodrock: yes I did. 800x600 is the largest available [02:13] I tried resetting the x configuration, but that didn't seem to work with the live cd [02:13] MatthewMetzger: does your monitor have some sort of auto adjust feature?.. that window is resizeable(the one that guides you through the install), try resizing [02:13] MatthewMetzger, might try adding vga=791 to the boot up parameters [02:14] anyone know a way to make .mkv's be able to fastforward and rewind in movie player? Right now it wont let me [02:14]  MatthewMetzger:and you can't TAB to the installer icon ? get a cd tomorraow... === PV1 is now known as PrivateVoid [02:14] if /dir has 700 permissions, and /dir/file has 755 permissions, another user can still read /dir/file if he knows the entire path.

[02:14] anyone know what type of fonts ubuntu uses? [02:14] alraun1: no I can't tab through the time zone section. I tried. Yes, I'll get a CD, but I thought I'd give it a try. We ubuntu people have to be resourceful :) [02:15] MatthewMetzger: you should be able to tab through the whole thing.. [02:15]  MatthewMetzger:enthrophy.... [02:15] does this command seem valid for cleaning the kernel? make-kpkg clean [02:16] MatthewMetzger: another suggestion, delete the bottom panel, and move the top panel to the bottom, then you ca move the window up a little bit. [02:16] xim, try opening http://localhost:631 and see if cups is any help [02:16] IndyGunFreak: nope. The time zone catches me. Although I'll try again... [02:16] that may give you just enough room. [02:16] MatthewMetzger: see above, it hink that might work. [02:16] Swian: SANS is default, but you can see a list of available fonts by using the Fonts tab i Appearances [02:16] IndyGunFreak: ahh. That's a good idea. [02:16] th0r: thanks [02:16] I'll try it now. [02:16] and now for the final step [02:16] fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd --append-to-version=-custom kernel_image kernel_headers [02:17] I just installed ubuntu 8.04 lts on a 15 gb partition, do you think that will be large enough?

Anyone know what the problem is? [02:17] ok thanks [02:17] darkcrab: yes [02:17] no, I mean what type of fonts? True Type, Type 1, PostScript [02:17] unless you are a big time video editor [02:17] darkcrab: yeah, its fine, as long as you don't have a 14gig music collection to put on it... :) [02:17] or have a million games [02:17] th0r: my printer is listed in there, but what address do i give my xp box to link to the printer? [02:17] yeah lol [02:17] no, it is a simple fluxbox internet hack. [02:18] xim, should be the ip of the computer the printer is connected to [02:18] My ubuntu is not saving my changes. I reboot and it doesn't save any changed settings. I solved the problem with xchat sudo chown -R nickolaus:nickolaus ~/.xchat2/. Anyone know what the problem is? [02:18] My sound stopped working all of the sudden, I get "Could not open audio device for playback." when I go into the Sound settings, lspci -v gives me "ATI Technologies Inc RV610 audio device [Radeon HD 2400 PRO]", but aplay -l says no soundcards. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449 says to go to another page that is down, and the driver page isn't working either. Any ideas? [02:18] Swain: TF [02:18] nickolaus, please stop repeating yourself, if someone knows the answer they will reply [02:18] oops TTF [02:18] th0r, just the ip? not like ip/cups/printer or anything like that [02:19] bobbob1016: it sounds as though ubuntu thinks it needs to use the soundcard on your videocard :P [02:19] xim, not sure...I don't own a printer so never worried about it [02:19] go back and see if you can select your other soundcard [02:19] ahic [02:19] the R600 series all have a audio chip onboard I believe [02:19] Snares_64, That is what I thought, I don't see where to select it [02:19] how can i make mplayer play mkv media smooth? [02:19] Can anyone walk me through installing a new theme on ubuntu? [02:19] click System -> Preferences -> Sound [02:19] xim, I think the printer should show up in network neighbourhood, doesn't it? [02:20] Snares_64, There is nothing in Device, and I can't add anything [02:20] IndyGunFreak: I can see the buttons now that I moved the menu bars around. Thanks for the very resourceful idea! :) [02:20] MatthewMetzger: lol, not resourceful, it just happen to dawn on me, that you probably didn't need "that much" more room.. no prob, good luck [02:20] armrp download the theme to your desktop, right click the desktop and select change background, drag the downloaded theme onto the dialog window. Done [02:20] IndyGunFreak: thanks :) [02:20] What is a good application for translating from french, Spanish and other language to English for the purpose of net chat? [02:21] for you guys who get problem with hibernate and suspend, did you manage to find the cure? [02:21] th0r: man, nothing has shown up in network neighborhood since windows 95 [02:22] nickolaus, are you booting off the livecd or something? [02:22] xim, I use fusesmb and samba, everything shows up there for me === Entropy is now known as Guest50681 [02:23] th0r: haha, its a great way to lockup your pc tho, if you ever try and open netowrk neighborhood.........but yeah ill try to google around [02:23] Snares_64, I'm pretty sure I have an intel sound card integrated, but I don't know the model... [02:24] bobbob1016: run 'lspci' on terminal [02:24] type 5 if you have an X-Fi [02:24] nickrud, that didnt work [02:24] anyone have any clue why the only ssh keys being accepted are my keys from putty and not from my other two boxes (all on same network and all will log in via password) [02:24] armrp what kind of theme was it? gtk->controls, metacity->window borders, icon->icons [02:24] Hey guys. I dual-boot 8.04 x64 and Vista Ultimate x64. After months of working with Linux, I've developed a love/hate relationship with it. I love how customizable and flexible it is. But it hates running the programs I like to run, and wine just doesn't cut it for compatibility. So my question is this: How do I uninstall Grub, and get Vista booting by itself? I know how to take care of the partitions afterward, I just don't want to delete grub, then n [02:24] why are there stupid smamers smapping me [02:24] spammers spamming me* [02:25] Snares_64 in pms? [02:25] nickrud: yes [02:25] It was a folder with everything [02:25] Snares_64 report them to #freenode [02:25] smamers smapping me lol funnie [02:25] ok [02:25] FrozenInferno: vista has a boot repair thing you can run [02:25] tech0007, I did, the only sound card I see is "01:00.1 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc RV610 audio device [Radeon HD 2400 PRO]" so something is wrong... [02:25] yeah im getting spammed too [02:25] FrozenInferno, instead of deleting Grub, how about seting Vista as the default? [02:25] woo kernel is compiling without a prob woohoo [02:26] I'm not going to install the newer kernels I guess [02:26] from ubuntu update [02:26] armrp if you'd report it as well ... [02:26] Bogus8: From the install DVD? bringt: I've tried that. Grub won't do it. [02:26] FrozenInferno: you can do that also... I do that on a couple machines that still have linux installed but I rarely use it [02:26] okey dokey [02:26] tech0007, I found "82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller" through hardware manager [02:26] I have successfully registered my nick and I received the confirmation email and followed the instructions...but now I can't use the nick I just registered. What's missing? [02:27] FrozenInferno: umm, I think so... or maybe the repair option of F8 or something... not really sure, I've just read about it when figuring out how to dual boot xp and vista [02:27] bobbob1016: thats the audio device [02:27] rodolfo_ #freenode for you too :) [02:27] FrozenFire, what do you mean? the Vista entry should already exist if you can boot into it, just set that as default, use QtGrubEditor or KGrubEditor if you would like a nicer interface to edit Grub config [02:27] bringt: he wants vista to just be the bootloader I think [02:27] tech0007, Yes, but the system-prefs-sound doesn't recognize it [02:27] wants to ditch ubuntu for now I guess [02:27] Snares_64, yeah that is fine, just thinking that editing grub might be alot easier [02:28] where do i go to report spam [02:28] there something like igoogle translate in Ubuntu? [02:28] anyone know if i can rsync podcast to my iphone ? [02:28] yeah you're probably right :D [02:28] Moth pm spam, report to #freenode [02:28] Moth: I wish I knew that too they won't stop bothering me the noobs [02:28] w33d5, can you mount the iphone memory over USB? [02:28] ok thanks [02:28] yeah, what bringt is saying is the quickest sollution... set it default and turn down your timeout if it takes too long [02:28] Snares_64: Yeah, I want to ditch Linux on my Desktop. I'm running it on my laptop, and will continue to run it, but my Desktop doesn't like it. Plus, I need the space back. Lol. [02:28] how do I use a nickname that has been registered? [02:29] but anyways back to my theme issue, what file extention does a file need to be if i want to install it by going to System->Preferences->Appearance->Install? [02:29] bringt i want to be able to do it from a headless [02:29] server [02:29] catching podcasts [02:29] hey what the difference between suspend and hibernate? [02:29] bobbob1016: whats the output of 'lsmod | grep snd' [02:29] Frozen: I suppose you could just reformat the partitions that ubuntu is installed on, without removing grub [02:29] and if he doesn't have grub on a seperate partition then when it repartions he could lose grub anyway and still have to repair with vista [02:29] be careful though [02:29] WTF ---> Bras are made for women, but they can easily be worn by men too. They are amazing to wear, even if you are a guy. I am a guy and wear a bra daily. It feels great. The straps, the cups, the band, everything. So many styles, colors, and brands means bra wearing will never get old. So if you want a great experience, wear a bra today. [02:29] FrozenInferno you can tell windows to take over the mbr (##windows for that) and then remove the ubuntu partitions and extend the ntfs one [02:29] anyone know about BIND in here? having a few various problems with it (nothing too major i am presuming) :) [02:29] w33d5, well if you can access the iPhone internal memory, then you definitely can [02:30] nickrud: Dude, that's exactly what I was going to do. Lol [02:30] wow do people think this is a place to crack jokes? [02:30] tech0007, Nothing, I just get another prompt line, as if I just pressed enter [02:30] FrozenInferno: yeah, do a google search on repairing boot with vista and you should find what you need... it's pretty simple [02:30] i got the same thing w33d5 [02:30] FrozenInferno works ;) === __yy_ is now known as __yy [02:30] FrozenInferno: there is a tool that lets you do all of it I think... I'm thinking I had to do that to make it dual boot now that I'm thining of it [02:30] w33d5 Moth that's a regular on freenode, a pain. [02:30] bringt since i can ssh in i was hoping that i could rsync [02:30] you would think that the cups configuration would just put the stupid printer access url right there in the listing for the printer under manage printers, instead of making me google for two hours to figure it out [02:31] Bogus8, usually grub is on a separate partition, so the main linux partition can be safely deleted (good idea to check first though :) [02:31] at like 5am so i am good to go before i get out the dor [02:31] doro [02:31] anyone have any clue why the only ssh keys being accepted are my keys from putty and not from my other two boxes (all on same network and all will log in via password) [02:31] door [02:31] bringt: USUALLY.... I do.. but that doesn't mean his is [02:31] w33d5, from what to what? can you mount the iPhone memory on any computer? [02:31] bringt the problem with that is grub looks in /boot for part of it's startup, and if it's gone ... [02:31] and he'd still be stuck if it's not... or he accidently deleted it too... then he's stuck with no boot till he uses vista to repair [02:32] throw iphone into trash where it belong with all other cr..apple [02:32] Hi, does anyone know of a program for encoding .avi files to DVD? [02:32] bobbob1016: paste 'lspci' to paste.ubuntu.com [02:32] NERO [02:32] wait this is linux, srry [02:32] Bogus8, nickrud, & bringt: Yes, my grub is on a separate partition, but I wanted to just fix the Vista bootloader, then use the Vista disk manager to extend into those partitions. I guess it's off to #windows for me. [02:32] nickrud: he's saying usually /boot is on a seperate partiion [02:32] ok, I'm trying to configure the remote desktop preferences to allow VNC viewer from my main desktop to access it. [02:32] * liquid89 burps [02:32] how would I do so? [02:32] Hi, does anyone know of a program for encoding .avi files to DVD? (for Linux) [02:32] FrozenInferno: then just do what I said already ;) [02:33] Bogus8 not in ubuntu, without manual intervention. So assume not ;) [02:33] WTF!!!!!! Do u get hard when u see a tornado? It is my lifelong dream to recreate da tornado scene in Twister, with a twist. I want a jackoff partner to live with me during tornado season. When a tornado comes I want 2 have eachother jackoff(possible handjob switch) into climax as our legs get sucked up into the vortex. This is dangerous so I guess we can just do it... [02:33] ...watching a tornado. So join #tornado if u rinterested. [02:33] armrp that's the stuff you should report to #freenode [02:33] nickrud: I set up my partitions manually [02:33] <_hc> so I am running Hardy on a MacBook Pro and I have an odd problem with my trackpad which I think is caused by my profile. My profile dates back to at least Feisty, it was originally a Ubuntu Studio install. Basically, on the login screen, my trackpad works fine. It continues to work once I log in. But once the theme kicks in, the trackpad stops working. Any tips for where to look?

If you haven't changed your keys recently, ubuntu's ssh was creating bad ones (from debian's debs). You will need to create new ones. [02:36] no just an vm image - it shows the disc and the name but not the file on multiple computers [02:36] bobbob1016: try 'modprobe snd-hda-intel' [02:36] Bogus8 run ssh-vulnkey [02:37] nickrud: I can connect FROM my ubuntu box to my debian box but not from my old debian box to my new ubuntu box [02:37] Miesco: yes ... that's what I was thinking of ... and it's not installed by default ....

[02:38] nickrud: will do... can't see how it is though... my problem is the keys in the authorized_keys file [02:38] just got spammed [02:38] tech0007, Hardy. It was working, not sure what stopped it though. [02:38] when I keep trying to VNC into the Ubuntu machine from VNC viewer on my Vista machine, I keep getting "connection refused". [02:38] Hey guys i did a fresh install of Hardy and updated everything but now when i go to press the power button in GNOME on the top right it hangs for a looong time before i get anything.

[02:39] digitalslave: Just mount it as you would any disk in windows [02:39] lots of people still use OSS [02:39] yeah the doze tech site says it should be able to read it but it doesnt - nix has no problems [02:39] nickrud: wow, you are right! [02:39] tech0007, I did a few days ago, the kernel -19 one, but that didn't like my video card, since I just got a white screen, I went back to -18. I could see how that could be it, but not how to fix it. [02:39] Snares_64 depreciated does not mean relegated to the ashbin (yet) [02:40] I can't get any sound in Hardy to play unless I unplug and re-plug in the cord, at which point it repeats about a quarter-second of sound over and over again. How do I fix this? [02:40] digitalslave: Hmmm, try making an iso and sending it to windows then mounting it in daemon tools? [02:40] it reads the disc label but says no files are there [02:40] nickrud: that sucks... ok, so now how do I fix my pub keys from etchy to work with my new ubuntu? [02:40] bobbob1016: are you trying to install fglrx? [02:40] I had the same problem [02:40] Bogus8 you have to create a new pair [02:40] digitalslave: or make an iso of the disk in windows and mount that with daemon tools. To be honest I have no idea. [02:40] Snares_64, No, I went back to -18, no video issues, just the sound issues. === rodolfo__ is now known as rodolfo_ [02:40] nickrud: on the debian box... and it will work fine... I've updated etchy recently [02:41] bobbob1016: r u running on -19 now? run 'locate snd-hda-intel'. chck if it has the -19 version of the sound module [02:41] hahaha i could just transfer the file i would but this is the only way for the moment - file is 4.36Gig and i dont have any thumb drives big enough [02:41] i'm getting spammed....how do i report to #freenode [02:41] anyone here using zen? I'm building a zen kernel...any major pitfalls to watch out for?

I think the fix came out in the last couple months if that helps put things in a timeline [02:42] I can't get any sound in Hardy to play unless I unplug and re-plug in the cord, at which point it repeats about a quarter-second of sound over and over again. How do I fix this? [02:42] Reporte the spammer to the ops, and /ignore is also your friend [02:42] My machine keeps halting and becomes unusable.

That is for a video issue.

It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [02:45] Thoku: I know this is a debian issue but it might be a simple apt issue... my debian box says the openssh packages are being held back when I try to upgrade [02:45] I have an .avi file (movie) that i want to play in a DVD player so I need to encode it to DVD. [02:45] hkittysmoothie, is this flash related?

[02:52] on "generating new locals" [02:52] how "lightweight" is linux mint compared to xubuntu ? [02:52] ok [02:52] it's fun to watch the kernel builds these days. when I first started using linux (I've been an on-again off-again sort of fella) it was the 2.0.x days and I had an old 486DLC (yes, that's right, it was a 486 on a 386 board) with 8MB of RAM and a 90MB HD...sad, a git clone'd source wouldn't have comee close to fitting on that old beast... [02:52] well I guess you could just cancel the install and try again [02:52] 0_o [02:52] how [02:52] tech0007, No such file or directory [02:52] FooFoo try hitting ctl-alt-f4 , I think where the install log is kept (maybe clt-alt-f8) . Ctl-alt-f7 to get back to desktop [02:52] then just delete the partitions for ubuntu and install again [02:53] riegersn heavyweight [02:53] digitalslave: what should I search for to find a solution for the flash problem? [02:53] bobbob1016: ur sound hw is totally being ignored by -19 [02:53] 2.0.36 (the first one I built) took hours to build...now I'm building 2.6.24 on an Athlon64-X2 and it's zipping right along...I feel old.

Not sure what to safely remove in Synaptic [02:59] christ [02:59] sorry man [02:59] bad code [02:59] lmao [02:59] poon what, a bot? [02:59] slade, are you installing from wubi dvd or cd? [02:59] BRB [03:00] nah [03:00] just a little bad code [03:00] I am installing from the Kubuntu 8.04 live CD [03:00] bobbob1016: can u run 'uname -r'? u should keep at least 2 kernel versions in your machien. [03:00] sylphid is there another way to install it? [03:00] tech0007, I did that a while ago to be sure I had -18, it says -18-generic [03:00] nickolaus, the problem is flash is 32 bit .... it needs a wrapper for 64 bit [03:00] tech0007, -18-i386 [03:01] Not generic, -18-i386 [03:01] sylphid is there a fix for it? [03:01] nickolaus_, yes you can install flash by installing the restricted extras package [03:02] nickolaus_, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [03:02] bobbob1016: so u have -18 and -19 kernels [03:02] are there any specific boot parametetrs I would need if I am using a quad core and 8800gtx for gpu? [03:02] riegersn: another lightweight alternative might be lxde --> check http://lxde.sourceforge.net/about.html for features etc. [03:02] I can't get any sound in Hardy to play unless I unplug and re-plug in the cord, at which point it repeats about a quarter-second of sound over and over again. How do I fix this? [03:03] tech0007, Yes, synaptic says I have -19 as well. [03:03] bobbob1016: you should be using the -generic kernel for your modules to work properly. Thats the linux-image-generic package iirc. [03:03] sylphid I know I'm a little slow but I have just run sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras how what do I do? [03:03] sylphid now* [03:03] Hello -- can someone offer some help as to how to get mplayer to work correctly under firefox including getting some audio? [03:03] Pici: so whats the -i386 for? [03:03] Pici, I have the -generic installed in synaptic as well. [03:03] tech0007: compatibility. [03:04] slade, you may need to force the vesa driver... i dont think there is anything needed for quad core [03:04] Pici: ok [03:04] nickolaus, give it a try [03:04] bobbob1016: if you're not running it, you arent going to be able to insert some modules though. [03:04] nickolaus, that should be all you have to do [03:04] How would I go about doing that? [03:04] hi everyone [03:04] sylphid just run sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras? [03:04] slade, looking [03:04] glitsj16, thanks. i'll take a look [03:04] nickolaus, correct [03:05] bobbob1016: check if linux-generic is installed' 'dpkg -s linux-generic' [03:05] daf_: did you install the mozilla-mplayer package for that ?

[03:09] or better yet how can i show drive info? [03:09] I am looking for a good disassembler, cause I got some strange .exe file by e-mail and I would like to know what it is going to do without running it [03:09] ubuntu server [03:09] Actually sorry I mistyped glitsj16 ... mplayer under firefox gets stuck on frame 1 and you can't play it while the flash plugin for mozilla has no audio and i don't see wher ei configure it. [03:09] tech0007, Did that tell you anything? [03:10] w33d5 ls /dev/[sh]d? will show connected drives [03:10] How can I log into the root? [03:10] i wonder if anyone on here has even compiled a kernel on a dual core proc..? [03:10] Sylphid: any luck or suggestions where I should look? [03:10] !root | Sanctusorium [03:10] Sanctusorium: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [03:10] bobbob1016: reboot and pick -19-generic in grub [03:10] Nick, I CANT use sudo [03:11] I removed the priveldge from this account :P [03:11] slade, well i dont see any grub options..... but i can walk you through a manual change [03:11] sylphid I ran sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras and it still giving me ERROR: Your architecture, \'x86_64\', is not supported by the [03:11] Adobe Flash Player installer. [03:11] tech0007, Then I get my video issue, the white screen... I guess since that is more common, I'll play with that then. [03:11] Sanctusorium hahahaha. You will have to boot into recovery mode and give it back :) [03:11] daf_: np, the mplayer plugin can be configured while playing something with it, right-click > Configure .. as to flash hi-jacking sound in firefox, well that's a known issue .. you might have better performance with the newer flash player 10 beta [03:11] Sanctusorium: you can log on with only "su" [03:11] Sylphid: I am up for it as long as my laptop battery holds on [03:11] nickolaus_, you dont need to run the installer... the restricted extras package installs it for you [03:12] bobbob1016: ur video might be easier to fix than ur audio coz ur audio device's not being detected [03:12] slade, add single to the boot options to boot to single user mode [03:12] bobbob1016: whats ur video card? [03:12] tech0007, ATI HD2400 [03:12] nickrud i found it on a website last night but i cant find it again...this one shows everything aboutthe drive. manuf, drive size, /dev location [03:12] harpreet, whats the password? :P [03:12] And nickrud, how will I give it back once I am recovery? [03:12] Sanctusorium: you can reset it if u like [03:12] nickrud it was something like lc## -....... [03:13] the command was 4 letters [03:13] tech0007, I found that I had "PulseAudio Session Manager" or something in sessions, so I guess that is something too [03:13] Sylphid: I have the boot uptions up right now, but how do I set it in there? [03:13] Sanctusorium adduser admin [03:13] w33d5 sudo lshw ? [03:13] yep [03:13] thats it [03:13] slade, arrow to the end and type it in after everything else [03:13] Sylphid: what is the rest? [03:14] nice, updating my ssh keys just locked me out of a remote server... guess I didn't think that one through very well ;) [03:14] Sanctusorium: sudo passwd . . . [03:14] slade, just add "single" to the end without quotes [03:14] any body set up a pptp vpn that passes all traffic that can lend me a hand? [03:14] Sylphid: lemme give it a try and I'll let you know [03:15] Hi, at startup i get an error about that my USB external hard drive can not be mounted and some bonobo server needs to be killed and nautilus restarted, what are they talking about ?????? [03:15] Bogus8 you don't have password access to the machine? [03:15] slade, after you put that in and boot to single user mode cd /etc/X11 [03:15] Bogus8 the old fashioned method ;) [03:15] nickrud: not remotely... luckily I set up my putty keys in that box [03:16] slade, then vim xorg.conf and change every instance of nv to vesa [03:16] nickrud: once I set up keys I disable password logins for ssh [03:16] slade, or use your favorite editor [03:16] Sylphid: Vi ftw [03:16] Bogus8 makes sense. Backdoors are gateways to disaster. [03:16] nickrud: roger that [03:16] bobbob1016: did u get that after reboot [03:16] tech0007, Rebooting now, but quick question, I have tracker reindexing, rebooting is ok, it'll resume from where it left, right? [03:16] nickrud: and key are so secure *rolls eyes* [03:16] slade, agreed [03:16] Anyone know of a program like manycam for linux? (Funky webcam controller, allows you to stream a screencast to webcam, and fun visual effects) [03:17] install all apps from third party repos and install the older versions from official ones? [03:17] what good do i have for an bonobo server and why do i get this error but still the external HD gets mounted ... :) [03:17] bobbob1016: yes, i removed tracker from my box, coz i dont need it [03:17] tech0007, This is the computer I'm having the issues on, so if I come back, it's good news [03:17] anyone know of a quick way of getting apt to uninstall all apps from third party repos and install the older versions from official ones? [03:17] Sylphid: that is all tag'd on to the end of the boot options? or do I break it before vim..." ? [03:18] tech0007, I had beagle, but I wanted to see if tracker worked faster, I'm rebooting now... [03:18] tretle: uninstall them thru synaptic, disable 3rd partys from sources.list, then reinstall them [03:18] slade, ohh ... sry single is the only thing you add to the boot options [03:18] my problem is that i am having a start up problem cos my /home directory has run out of disk space and i can't seem to delete anything off that directory to give me more space i can see the files thru the live cd but can't delete them [03:18] slade, the other 2 are once you are at a shell [03:19] Sylphid: Ok, I did that and I don't get any different results [03:19] tech007 Im not sure what got updated, I added a repo to update anjuta and rebooted to find network manager 0.7 on it broken among other things [03:19] LaBud: use sudo [03:19] LaBud you can do gksu nautilus in a terminal in the live cd, that should give you access to your hard drive. Be very CAUTIOUS!! [03:19] Sylphid: my screen goes gray/black, and my USB devices flash off and on, and it sits there the CD occassionally speeding up [03:19] k ty i will try [03:20] LaBud I repeat, CAUTIOUS!!! [03:20] slade, ctrl+alt+F1 do you get anything? [03:21] Sylphid: "You are leaving the graphical boot manu and starting text mode interface" [OK] [Cancel} [03:21] nickrud the files i am deleting r mp3 and they r all in one folder shud be ok? [03:21] slade, select ok [03:21] tretle: u can check /var/log/dpkg.log what got updated....then run 'apt-cache policy network-manager' [03:21] Sylphid: "Boot: _" [03:21] slade, hit enter [03:22] LaBud hm, I just remembered that deleting will probably just move to the trash. A more certain way is to delete them directly from the terminal [03:22] Sylphid: same results [03:22] tech0007 no way of automatically purging everything installed from a certain repo then? [03:22] nothing on screen? [03:23] slade, nothing on screen? [03:23] well got the kernel compiling..looks like its going ok so far [03:23] tretle: not to my knowledge [03:23] Sylphid: Only the darkest shade of gray to show there is still a signal so the monitor isn't going to sleep [03:23] tretle not if they replaced ubuntu packages. Ones that have no equivalent will show up in obsolete or local packages after you disable the repos [03:24] tretle: Useing synaptic you can browse by repo (iirc) from there you can then sort by installed and purge those packages. [03:24] Sylphid: should I reboot and get back to the boot:? [03:24] debian_akroyd: hopefully you use kernel-package [03:24] slade, yes [03:24] nick rud can i do that by the whole folder or do i have to do it by each file? [03:24] wols, im just going off of the guide from the ubuntu website [03:24] Sylphid: want me to try the "single" at boot: ? [03:24] slade, are you using a cd or dvd [03:25] slade, give it a try but im not sure if it works at that prompt [03:25] Sylphid: CD-R [03:25] somehow i got a bad kenel image ho do i deleate it and reinstall it ? [03:25] nick Da_Nemesis [03:25] thanks for the tips [03:25] LaBud cd into the folder, then run sudo rm * . Be absolutely sure you are deleteing the right files, run ls first, examine the files === vikrant is now known as Da_Nemesis [03:26] hello, would anyone know a similar program like vmware fusion but for ubuntu/linux? [03:26] slade, alternate or the regular? [03:26] Sylphid: how would I tell the difference? [03:26] i just got my drives to mount right in ubuntu but when i reboot i have to remount them by clicking on them in places menu [03:26] tretle synaptic makes it reasonably easy, click the origin tab, and for all the installed packages from outside repos, click force version and choose the ubuntu one. [03:27] just wondering if there is a way to keep them mounted [03:27] My machine keeps halting and becomes unusable. Nothing, no keyboard input can do anything to it, it just locks.. The only correlating events are using any audio app and or firefox. I see the following in /var/log/messages http://paste.ubuntu.com/31988/ [03:27] slade, you would know if you got the alternate [03:27] !fstab | comodo [03:27] comodo: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [03:27] Sylphid: Must be the regular then [03:27] slade, the alternative is not a livecd. you would have had to specially select it when you downloaded ubuntu. [03:27] sudo somehow i got a bad kenel image how do i deleate it and reinstall it ? [03:27] slade, the alternate is a text-based installer [03:27] thanks i will check that out [03:28] slade, does the computer have on board video as well? [03:28] slade, plus the iso has alternate somewhere in the file name [03:28] k nickrud the rm worked [03:28] ty nickrud [03:28] LaBud now run df -h , you should see if you have enough free space [03:28] mo-, vmware and virtualbox are both available for linux. [03:28] hello all, anyone able to tell me how hibernation works in ubuntu [03:28] Sylphid: No, I paid too much for it to have that /facepalm [03:28] slade, hmm... [03:29] Sylphid: unfortunately I don [03:29] slade, do you know what mobo you have? [03:29] well gtg, im maxing my proc [03:29] Sylphid: I don't have any other video cards lying about either [03:29] somehow i got a bad kenel image how do i deleate it and reinstall it ? [03:29] Sylphid: It's an ASUS P5E3 premium Wifi - Ap [03:30] hi, everyone. I failed to install 32bit ubuntu(8.04 desktop) on AMD phenom 8450 CPU. I have turned acpi and apic off. Can anyone has such expericnce tell me how to? Thanks a lot. [03:30] deadlyallance052 sudo apt-get install --reinstall reinstalls a package [03:30] What do you mean failed? [03:31] slade, kk 1 sec.. lemme make sure theres no incompatibilities [03:31] What errors did you receive? [03:31] Sylphid: Sorry, not premium, it's Deluxe [03:31] nickrud thanks dude [03:31] wcr2007 a silly question, maybe, but a lot of people have missed it: did you run the disk check on the boot menu? [03:32] slade, what version of ubuntu is the cd? [03:32] this disk is OK [03:32] Selamlar Türk varmý Türk [03:32] It can be install on my intel CPU [03:33] Selamlar Türk varmý Türk [03:33] !tr | kjjl [03:33] kjjl: Turk ubuntu kullanıcıları, Türkçe yardım ya da geyik için #ubuntu-tr hizmetinizde. [03:33] wcr2007 I have to ask, more people have missed that than used it. Otherwise, I've had no install issues so I've never investigated it. [03:34] nickrud: It's not silly. other release also has such problem. [03:34] Sylphid: Sorry, lag, 8.04 built on 20080318.2 [03:34] but it's ok when i use ubuntu 5.1 [03:34] Galera, no kernel "linux-2.6.25.1" devo aplicar o patch "linux-2.6.25.2" ou o "linux-2.6.26"???

[04:04] What's the best way to listen to streaming mp3 in heron? Just discovered on someone else's box that xmms is no longer available, and before I upgrade from gutsy, I'd like to know [04:04] bobbob1016: ah === montana is now known as montana1 [04:04] electrofreak, the bot has a factoid on the topic. but i forget what its called. [04:04] Gutsy on my own boxes [04:04] amen51: you want to install it? [04:04] !ide [04:05] Sorry, I don't know anything about ide [04:05] !streaming mp3 [04:05] Sorry, I don't know anything about streaming mp3 [04:05] does anyone happen to know whether the 9800M GT is supported by the current NVidia proprietary driver (or the beta), or where else I might be able to find that answer?

[04:05] !libata [04:06] ubottu crashed? [04:06] Dr_willis, I did try that (read on some forums) but it won't play. Are there extra packages I need besides audacious? [04:06] harpreet, is there a way to install it? [04:06] anyone know if you can stream media to an icecast or shoutcast server with xmms? [04:06] what packages do i have to install to make firefox-2 in spanish? [04:06] Sorry, I don't know anything about sda [04:06] Sorry, I don't know anything about libata [04:06] Sorry, I don't know anything about crashed? [04:06] craigbass1976, so, audacious is almost exactly like xmms. But the default music player, rhythmbox, should be able to play internet radio just as well [04:06] amen51: you got software with it that supports linux? [04:06] electrofreak: is that a guess, or something more concrete? [04:06] harpreet, it has a USB connection [04:06] craigbass1976, no idea. proberly depends on what site you are doing. [04:06] harpreet, no [04:06] VampsFedora: yes you can, shoutcast has a streaming client that works for linux [04:06] amen51: what happened when you plugged it in? [04:07] greywhind, a guess... I'm pretty sure when nvidia releases new cards.... they release drivers to support it...

[04:24] hey I need [04:24] some help :[ [04:24] boho103: what's your problem? [04:25] okay well [04:25] whenever I use a wine application [04:25] that requires 3d graphics [04:26] my screen [04:26] basically [04:26] splits in two [04:26] and i got mirror images [04:26] and my text is illegible [04:26] and all the pixels are scrambled [04:26] and I have to restart [04:26] I have compiz disabled and visual effects off [04:26] !enter | boho103 [04:26] boho103: weird - what graphics card are you running, and have you tried ctrl-alt-backspace instead of a hard reboot? [04:27] boho103: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [04:27] boho103: disabling effects is a good starting point [04:27] hmm haven't tried ctrl alt backspace [04:27] oh sorry [04:27] good evening. does anyone know if there's a GUI motd-type software for ubuntu? [04:28] PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND [04:28] 45 root 15 -5 0 0 0 R 41.5 0.0 1262:10 kacpi_notify [04:28] I am using an ATI Radeon x1400, and I haven't tried the backspace thing, what does that do? [04:28] please help [04:28] blast, it messed up the formatting [04:28] hi all i am running ubuntu 8.04 and the other day my [ps/2]kybrd quit i plugged a usb kybrd in and it worked, but every once in a while i get strange things happening [like a row of '7''s i can't delete] any idea where i shud start looking to solve this problem? both kybrds r Logitech the newer one[plain jane] was the one that quit, the one i am using now [multimedia type] acts strange eer once in a while [04:29] dabud: that can happen if the software goes unrepsonsive [04:29] dabud: what's the cpu usage like when that occurs? [04:29] boho103: the ctrl-alt-backspace key combo restarts the x server [04:29] is my kybrd shot? [04:29] boho103: meaning it reloads the graphical interface [04:29] should I try that right now Mr Bunny? [04:29] dabud: we'll find out, what the cpu usage when that happens? [04:30] boho103: not if your display isn't glitching, no [04:30] gahh, kacpi_notify is eating my power again [04:30] boho103: have you enabled restricted drivers for your card? [04:30] 50% of the time while running, my pc is nigh worthless [04:30] i wud have to check that but i think it shud be ok this is a core 2 duo machine with 4 gb ram and i am only running 2 programs on it [04:30] I went to remove all that acpi stuff, but it's a dependency of ubuntu-desktop [04:30] dabud: race conditions are what I'm thinking [04:30] MR BUNNY: yeah I have enabled restricted drivers, I didn't have this problem until the 8.6 catalyst drivers [04:31] ethana2 wot is race conditions? [04:31] anyone know of a good limewire clone for linux? Thanks [04:31] ..anyone? [04:31] boho103: well, now we know what to do - roll back your drivers [04:31] dabud: when something wastes all your power doing nothing at all [04:31] greg__: frostwire - availible in applications > add/remove programs [04:31] Mr Bunny, how do I do that? [04:31] like my kacpi_notify here [04:32] boho103: I don't know, I'll have to do some googling [04:32] Mr Bunny: Alright thanks :D [04:32] ethans2 and how wud i check that out to see wot is causing it? [04:32] dabud: just keep an eye on your cpu usage [04:33] if it spikes when your keyboard does that, it's not your keyboard's fault [04:33] Mr Bunny: I'll be right back xD [04:33] race conditions still take out dual core cpu's, which makes no sense to me [04:33] whats the accepted program to do that in ubuntu 8.04 please [04:33] but I have one, it renders it unresponsive [04:33] even though it only uses one core [04:34] when i run: "unrar e somefile.rar" it will ask for a password. how can i input the password autmatically? [04:34] brazzers [04:34] back :D [04:35] can anyone tell me how to determine which device is sdb1? [04:35] is it my display? keyboard? mouse? [04:35] boho103: alright, it looks like there's a newer 8.7 version out, released 8 days ago. since it looks like ubuntu hasn't rolled out the update, you are faced with two immediate options: you can wait for ubuntu to update the drivers, which will have less of a chance of causing problems upon kernel upgrade, or you can install the drivers yourself now, the downside being a kernel upgrade may break them [04:35] russ: it's a file device [04:35] hola [04:36] russ: if it would help you to know which one by knowing the capacity, run df -h [04:36] has anyone with nvidia graphics optimized xorg.conf? [04:36] necesito ayuda [04:36] !spanish | christopher [04:36] christopher: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [04:36] Mr_Bunny_ how can you tell? [04:36] What's the easiest way to format SD-memorycard to FAT16-format? [04:37] russ: hda hdb sdc etc always are hardrives/dvd drives/etc [04:37] Hey all, I'm trying to compile a custom driver for Cuda on WINE, but am receiving the following make error, any ideas? [04:37] make: *** No rule to make target `cudart.dll.so', needed by `all'. Stop. [04:37]  [04:38] ethana2 i am running under 50% [approx 25%, 12.5, 12.5 each] with the odd spike up to 30% and memory usage is 582.7 out of a possible 3.0 gb [04:38] dabud: hmm [04:38] Mr_Bunny_, powertool08 thanks! that answers it, I've been asking the same question a couple of times a day for several days on this forum and that's the first reply I've got [04:38] Belboz99: I wouldn't count on getting much wine-specific help here, try #wine [04:38] dabud: then I don't know what's up [04:38] russ: happy to help [04:39] Belboz99: #winehq [04:39] dabud: do you have access to other hkeyboards? [04:39] keyboards** [04:39] Mr_Bunny_: the wine dev's have been Zero help doing anything like this [04:39] they always say ask somewhere else [04:39] Mr_Bunny_: care to take on another restricted driver challenge? [04:39] ethana2 u mean other as in another brand? [04:39] all I need to do is know how to compile this file [04:39] My machine is having trouble waking up after going to sleep (I often have that problem myself) [04:39] dabud: sure [04:39] powertool08: I can try... go ahead [04:40] it's not really anything wine related, my problem that is [04:40] what software do I use to burn Audio CD's in Ubuntu? [04:40] mhz128: Brasareo [04:40] i could probably dig up a MS one i think i have one around [04:40] When I wake it up it reports a bunch of I/O errors to device sdb1, which I now see is my external usb drive [04:40] Hey, i'm using a laptop and an external card reader to connect my digi cam's memory card. On connecting to the laptop, there's nothin happening at all.. How do i solve this ?? [04:40] not sure that's the issue though [04:40] does anyone know where the startup settings for compiz are stored? ie. how does ubuntu know to run compiz as the window manager, and with what flags? [04:40] thanks dude! [04:40] mhz128 i have found k3b is good [04:41] cool [04:41] Mr_Bunny_: ok, I'm on hardy 8.04.1, ATI radeon 9600xt, ultimate goal: 3d rendering with ati drivers in dual-head big desktop mode and some compiz functions enabled [04:41] powertool08: lol.. good luck. [04:42] Mr Bunny: Alright thank you :D [04:42] okay, does anyone know how to compile a simple driver here? I'm not asking anything related to WINE [04:42] Mr Bunny: How do I do a driver upgrade? [04:42] boho103: your starting point will be here - http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html [04:42] Mr_Bunny_: If I install restricted drivers from repo and restart then I have the extended desktop setup at the login screen but with a very low resolution [04:43] I just need someone to give me a nudge in the right direction, I have no clue why it's giving me this error, and Google hasn't been much use here [04:43] Belboz99: is there a library you could be missing? [04:43] k i will keep my eye on cpu usage and try to dig up that other kybrd [MS] and maybe try to see if kybrd that quit originally will work on other machine have a gr8 nite all [04:43] Hey, i'm using a laptop and an external card reader to connect my digi cam's memory card. On connecting to the laptop, there's nothin happening at all.. How do i solve this ?? [04:43] Mr_Bunny_: then if I login to my main user, it resets to clone mode every time, if I login to my other user which I rarely use, it keeps the extended desktop but still horrible resolution [04:43] powertool08: have you tried installing the very latest drivers from amd's site? [04:43] powertool08: I'll have to poke around for preferences [04:43] Mr_Bunny_: that's a good question, I've got the path to the libraries it should be using listed in the Make file [04:43] Mr_Bunny_: oh ya, it also doesn't render the background of menus correctly [04:44] powertool08: and what have you done so far as trying to change the resolution and screen-cloning settings? [04:44] gyarr, well, I may as well just shut this machine down [04:44] Belboz99: the best I can do is tell you what make's telling you: it doesn't know what to do in order to compile, other than that I don't know enough to help you, sorry [04:45] Mr_Bunny_: mainly uninstall purge drivers reinstall, re-run aticonfig [04:45] k, thanks Mr_Bunny_ [04:45] powertool08: does changing the resolution in the screen resolution tool do anything for you? [04:45] Mr Bunny: I got the ati driver installer 8.7.run, how do I install it? I double clicked and nothing happened [04:45] powertool08: have you tried with different monitors? [04:46] Mr_Bunny_: do any of the libs, spec's, headers, or c files need to be executable to be compiled? [04:46] Mr_Bunny_: I only have two at my disposal :/ [04:46] Hey, can someone help me with the Card Reader ?? I need to copy my photographs to my PC.. [04:46] Belboz99: I wouldn't think so, but I have no clue. [04:47] boho103: go to applications>accessories, and open terminal [04:47] boho103: what directory did you save the drivers in? [04:47] Mr Bunny: They are on the desktop, should I cd to it? [04:47] Scorp_: what problems are you encountering [04:47] Mr_Bunny_: the screen resolution after login is ok, but it doesn't render menu backgrounds and various other things correctly [04:47] boho103: yes, then run it with ./[driver file name] [04:48] powertool08: does it do so correctly on the lesser-used logon? [04:48] Mr Bunny: It said permission denied, I tried sudo and it didn't work : / [04:48] Mr_Bunny_: Its basically that no action is happening when i connect the card reader... Is it not plug and play??? [04:49] Mr_Bunny_: the rendering issue is on both users, but the reset to clone only exists on primary user [04:49] Scorp_: what type of card reader is it? in that I mean how does it connect to your computer, and what brand is it? [04:49] any packagessubuntu.com admin around? [04:49] Mr_Bunny_: Its a Tech-com card reader which works on USB 2.0 [04:49] powertool08: the only thing I could think to recommend is manually installing the latest drivers [04:50] Scorp_: have you googled for instructions on it? to help you with this that's what I'd be doing anyway... [04:50] Mr Bunny: It said permission denied, I tried sudo and it didn't work : / [04:50] Mr_Bunny_: I tried, cudnt find any instructions... are they there ??? [04:50] boho103: *cough* https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/linux_cat87-inst.html [04:50] Mr_Bunny_: ok, I will try that, do you the command to open the catalyst control center? [04:51] Scorp_: I don't know, I guess I'll look. any model numbers you can give me? [04:51] powertool08: I used to run an onboard ati, but now I'm running nvidia (but wanting at :\) so I don't know [04:51] Mr_Bunny_: Its a generic stuf.. not really a big brand.. [04:51] Mr_Bunny_: ok, thanks for you help [04:51] you could ls /usr/bin/ati* or something to see if you can find anything [04:51] powertool08: or try to guess with tab-complete in terminal [04:52] is JFS a stable file system?? [04:52] I have been using nautilus a lot. Is there something for gnome that file manger that has tabing like Konqueror ? [04:52] tarelerulz: pcman [04:52] Mr_Bunny_: tried autocomplete, /usr/bin/ati doesn't exist. Maybe I will find it after the manual install :) [04:53] electrofreak: is for me [04:53] Mr_Bunny_: should I uninstall restricted drivers first or install over them? [04:53] Mr Bunny: I looked there and it said to do the same thing, and it says to do the same thing you said, except I still get permission denied : / [04:54] Scorp_: either I'm reading this wrong, or they only have drivers for windows 98: http://www.techcomindia.com/home.php?vaction=download [04:54] powertools08: I was suggesting wildcard to see if you can find any command that looks like it [04:54] Mr_Bunny_: Yeah, cuz after that it works plug and play... ;) [04:55] hi [04:55] powertool08: and iirc you should uninstall the existing drivers and maybe even pull a ctrl-alt-backspace to restart the x server before installing the new ones manually [04:55] Is there a beta release with desktop installed for 8.10 or is it just the command line type screen? [04:55] Mr_Bunny_: I know, but /usr/bin/at doesn't show anything ati related [04:55] Mr_Bunny_: ok, will do [04:56] Scorp_: have you checked to make sure the usb port you're plugging it into is working correctly? what version of ubuntu are you running? [04:56] powertool08: ultimately ati's guide is to be followed [04:56] Mr_Bunny_: I'm running Hardy heron.. How do i check if the usb is workin ?? One thing is that the Tech-com thing is geting power.. What else do i check ?? [04:56] Mr. Bunny: Nevermind I got it xD, needed to put sudo sh ./..... [04:56] How can I restore my audio settings to the default settings without a clean install? [04:57] boho103: ah, it was a shell script [04:57] cuil search for 'ubuntu' => 21,000,000 results. google search for 'ubuntu' => 90,000,000 results. OWNED. [04:57] "bigger index" my ass [04:57] Superking: try moving the .pule folder to .pulse_old and maybe pressing ctrl-alt-backspace to restart the graphical interface [04:58] coffee1: yeah, from what I've seen cuil is full of crap - iirc it was recent news that google hit 1 trillion pages [04:58] oh and you're going to love this: and where can i find these files? I havent slept in days and i really am lost. [04:58] that sounds more like it [04:58] cuil really f***ed that PR attempt up [04:58] Mr_Bunny_: USB is working cuz i can connect my printer to it. But the USB Card Reader is not getting recognized on ubuntu. [04:59] Superking: would you be comfortable using terminal, or would you like a graphical way to do this? [04:59] im good with either. [04:59] I just want the sound mixer to work, and my mic to work :/ [04:59] spiritssight: it's not in beta yet, but you can get the 8.10 alpha 3 cd image at http://fridge.ubuntu.com/node/1601 [05:00] Scorp_: I don't know what to tell you - my card reader works - and it's plug and play, and I don't see any drivers or tutorials. sorry... [05:00] Superking: mv .pulse pulse_old [05:00] Mr_Bunny_: When u connect the card reader, what happens next ?? does it mount to /media or something else ?? [05:00] intrepid ibex is going to be released in october? [05:00] Superking: what sound card are you running? [05:01] oi, i know its a Realtek HD Soundcard, on an Intel chipset. I know thats not specific but thats all i know :/ [05:01] roe_: Yes, it's 8.10, it's probably coming out in October, between the 14th and 21st or so. [05:01] Scorp_: I don't have a card here to test it with at the moment but iirc the slot shows up under Nautilus' "computer" view, and it pops up just like a usb flash drive would [05:01] roe: yes that's the target date [05:01] wow, I feel like all bugs were just gettng worked out of hardy [05:02] Mr_Bunny_: Ok.. I'll see what i can do. Thanks.. [05:02] does anyone know how to activate track changes / revisions for open office? [05:04] Superking: I can't seem to find how to list installed drivers at this point... I'd be inclined to assume it's a problem with the driver, but I have no way of knowing [05:04] Superking: are there any restricted drivers for it you could enable? [05:04] is there an openoffice channel i can go to? [05:04] I am wanting to try out a new file manger and I am wondering how would I make it my default ? [05:04] I can't get any sound in Hardy to play unless I unplug and re-plug in the cord, at which point it repeats about a quarter-second of sound over and over again. How do I fix this? [05:05] unfortunately not. Its weird, because Skype was working but it works on and off, and its because another program tries to access sounds [05:05] oh well [05:05] anyone know why my system isn't using dns servers in resolv.conf? [05:05] m0u5e: #openoffice.org [05:05] SuperLag: ty [05:06] m0u5e: you're welcome [05:06] Superking: well if it works sometimes, that might be because some apps don't play nice with pulseaudio - try running programs with pasuspender in front of the command, or restarting your x server with ctrl-alt-backspace [05:06] Hello [05:06] mk. [05:06] hkittysmoothie: what wire do you have to unplug and replug? what audio interface are you using? [05:06] Who can tell me the irc channel of DjangoProject? [05:07] Jadewolf: can it connect to them? [05:07] Mr_Bunny_: I have to unplug the audio cable that goes to my speakers, and I'm using pulseaudio [05:07] sn9: I just rebooted the laptop let me see once its back up , I could ping my outside IPs and my internal Ips though [05:08] ok, sudo is acting odd and I can't figure it out... on my old (etchy) debian system in my sudoers I have the line "bogus ALL= NOPASSWD: ALL" and this allows me to use sudo without being prompted for the password... I attempt this on ubuntu and it doesn't work??? [05:08] hkittysmoothie: so you're just using standard audio jacks? that sounds really weird... [05:08] clp: #django [05:09] I can't get any sound in Hardy to play unless I unplug and re-plug in the cord, at which point it repeats about a quarter-second of sound over and over again. How do I fix this? [05:09] hkittysmoothie: does it work without pulse? [05:09] sn9: yes it pings the DNS ips fine. [05:10] sn9, what should I use in place of pulseaudio [05:10] snd9: I had to manually config this NIC, it didn't even have a /etc/resolv.conf files till Imade one [05:10] Jadewolf: is it possible they simply don't respond to dns? [05:10] bogus8: try ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL [05:10] dcolish: tried that... could the spacings/tabs be an issue? [05:10] its the same servers I'm using on this system I'm on with you right now [05:11] hkittysmoothie: nothing [05:11] but you shouldn't be doing that really [05:11] make sure you have tty on the system [05:11] just switched to Hardy (32 bit) and MacBook. All is OK except it takes about 30 sec at least to wake up from suspend. I did some googling but haven't turned up a solution. Tried all sorts of settings in /etc/defaults/acpi.conf but nothing is making a difference. [05:11] dcolish: it's a personal box... so it's not a real security risk [05:11] sn9: its the same servers I'm using on this system I'm on with you right now [05:11] sn9, it seems that "nothing" isn't an option. My choices are OSS, ALSA, Autodetect, and Pulesaudio [05:11] sn9: So I'm pretty sure they do DNSing [05:11] dcolish: how do you mean tty? [05:12] hkittysmoothie: oh, you mean for gstreamer. try alsa [05:12] bogus8: when you login you create a tty session, by default you can't use the passwordless sudo without it [05:13] has anyone used the application Discover on hardy ? does it detect hardware correctly? does it mess with the boot process at all ? [05:13] with ssh this is an issue, but not on a desktop [05:13] hkittysmoothie: have you re-checked your pulseaudio configuration ? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4928900 gives a nice overview if you haven't seen that already [05:13] dcolish: ok... when I make changes I "duplicate" my putty session to start a new session to make sure everything is "fresh" === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [05:13] sn9, after switching to alsa, it now makes a different repeating noise [05:13] hkittysmoothie: ok, that's a kernel issue [05:14] hkittysmoothie: you have unhandled irq's [05:14] bogus8: are you sure the line is bogus ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL [05:15] bonjour [05:15] sn9, could this have to do with me recently booting with the "noapic" parameter? [05:15] notices the (ALL) is differen from the syntax earlier [05:15] hkittysmoothie: definitely [05:15] dcolish: I've had it both ways... would the spacing have anything to do with it? [05:15] nope [05:15] sn9, I'll try booting without that parameter [05:15] dcolish: yeah, I actually just changed it back from the (ALL) because my debian box doesn't have (ALL) [05:16] Jadewolf: do weird things appear in dmesg when dns queries are issued? [05:16] where does ubuntu keep the startup settings for the window manager? I'd like to add some flags to start compiz with. [05:17] bogus8: try droping the space after NOPASSWD: [05:17] it should be NOPASSWD:ALL [05:17] dcolish: your way (ALL) or mine? or both? [05:17] the correct syn is ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL [05:17] as per every other time i've set it up [05:18] dcolish: I shall try... man I HATE vim... is there a way to make it act like my debian's visudo (using nano)? [05:18] not sure, I love vim :) [05:18] Bogus8: export EDITOR=nano [05:19] Hi *. If I run 2 Xorg (:1 and :2) would the system use my graphic card memory or just the RAM for that? [05:19] Bogus8: and set edit to nano with update-alternatives [05:19] dcolish: bleh :p I've tried a couple times... I'm fighting my way into using emacs now [05:19] emacs is an operating system not an editor [05:19] Flannel: Ok, I shall try to figure all that out very soon [05:19] a vim cheatsheet is the way to go, you'll get it in no time [05:20] dcolish: vim is russian not an editor :p === VERA_AN is now known as c3_maniezZ [05:20] ha [05:20] any1 familiar w/ wine doors? [05:21] hiiiiiiiiiii [05:21] as Flannel said, you could probably set your editor to emacs as well [05:21] dcolish: still asking for the password it's set to "bogus ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL" [05:21] you're using sudo right [05:22] hey hasting [05:22] dcolish: yep :) [05:22] Bogus8: sorry had to ask [05:22] dcolish: I've done this several times on other boxes (all debian) [05:22] hi i can not play anutyhing on youtube even if i install the missing plugin it still complains that puginns is missing ... [05:22] Bogus8: are you actually logged in as "bogus" there? [05:23] IBM_4690_Operating_System_Messages_Guide_Version 5.2 defines 'panel' as "The complete set of formatted information that appears in a single display on a visual display unit." This seems to me a rather rare use of the word 'panel' in Ubuntu. Do you agree or did I overlook something? [05:23] sn9: yep.. only log in on the system (besides root) [05:23] any ideas [05:23] does echo $SSH_TTY return anything? [05:23] ata1.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x2 frozen === mak|m0m0 is now known as mpking [05:24] hardy heron [05:24] dcolish: /dev/pts/3 [05:24] 2.6.24-19-generic [05:24] litius: bad sata cable, most likely [05:24] I need help, I compiled a new kernel and I'm not sure how to use grub to boot it [05:25] cable - really? [05:25] matthias_N: which plugin did you install exactly ? [05:25] that would be kuel... [05:25] cause launchpad says HD [05:25] but I know HD is good [05:25] so.. just tweak the cable [05:25] ? [05:25] I'm having issues installing ubuntu. When I boot from the live cd and select the first option (start/install) I get a loading screen, then a pretty screen with lots of colors.. so it's a graphics problem. So I boot into graphics safe mode and get a dialog box that says it can't run some feautres, so I click continue and I'm left with a black screen with a dot on it (in the top lefthand corner)... any ideas? [05:25] it has started only today [05:25] litius: or swap it [05:26] Bogus8, thx - you mean change the cable? [05:26] litius: yeah [05:26] altair: you could try booting it with like init=2, but I'm not completely sure if that would work [05:26] adobe [05:26] altair: have you tried that NOAPIC options? it's in the boot menu stuff [05:26] glitsj16: adobe [05:26] Bogus8: not sure what you've got going on there, I just set it up on an extra box I had and it works fine [05:27] grrr [05:27] glitsj16: installed gnasg and failed installed swdf and works but hangs [05:27] altair: what video card? [05:27] dcolish: there is no service I have to restart right? [05:27] not that I am aware of [05:27] How can i disable the effects in ubuntu just installed, i don't see compiz installed or anything. [05:27] bullgard4: don'tchya hate it when people redefine words? [05:27] this is hong kong fuey [05:27] matthias_N: okay .. you have only the one from adobe active in firefox right now ? [05:28] okey tried but not workinmg ... [05:28] ok - will try - thanks guys. [05:28] sudo smartctl -s on -H /dev/sda1 gives "=== START OF READ SMART DATA SECTION === SMART overall-health self-assessment test result: PASSED" [05:28] and "sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda1 | grep Load_Cycle_Count" gives "193 Load_Cycle_Count 0x0032 253 253 000 Old_age Always - 0" [05:28] bleh: compiz is installed by default. system->prefs->appearance->visual effects [05:28] that is why I wasn't sure what it was [05:28] thought kernel at first [05:28] ok idk the video card, it's a Dell Inspiron 2600 laptop, with the default card. I haven't tried init=2 or NOAPIC options, dunno how.. [05:28] can anyone here help me with configuring grub so that I can boot a kernel I just compiled? [05:28] any other ideas if not cable? [05:28] dcolish: when you did yours did you type tabs or anything? I'm grasping at straws here but something has to be different [05:28] Hi *. If I run 2 Xorg (:1 and :2) would the system use my graphic card memory or just the RAM for that? [05:28] thx sn9 [05:29] Chihork: Yes, I do. [05:29] Bogus8: I did use tabs rather than spaces [05:29] Chihork: But who was first here? [05:29] is 2.6.24-19-generic the latest kernel ? [05:29] altair: is that older than 7 years? [05:29] dcolish: which I have... so username then the rest or did you have any other tabs? [05:30] hmmm... possibly, or close to it [05:30] its the one that came with Hardy [05:30] dcolish: I'm gonna duplicate EXACTLY if I can ;) [05:30] (bleh) [05:30] demasrv: the configuration file for grub is at /boot/grub/menu.lst [05:30] altair: check the dell website for a bios update [05:30] yes litius [05:30] Bogus8: bogusALL=(ALL)NOPASSWD:ALL [05:30] bleh, "its the one that came with Hardy" [05:30] dcolish: ok, I will do exactly that [05:30] sn9: alright... I'll check [05:31] litius, any easy tuts to upgrade this? [05:31] dcolish: BAH! no good :( [05:31] very frustrating [05:31] I found many occurrences with this and 2.6.23 kernel for the same exception.. [05:32] I can upgrade the kernel, but before I need to know it is causing a problem :) [05:32] someone: I've modified menu.lst, but I don't know what to change in it to boot my new kernel [05:32] bullgard4: we could argue all night long about who was here first, who claimed what definition to which word. [05:32] Bogus8: are you adding this at the very end? if you're a member of a group that does not have nopasswd that will override your efforts [05:32] but I must be off to sleep. [05:32] litius: unlikely [05:32] I tried running update-grub, but it isn't changing anything in my menu.lst even though its saying it is [05:32] line order matters [05:32] dcolish: true... there is a line after %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL [05:32] but that SHOULDN'T apply to me [05:32] * nickrud claims the eastern orthodox iconic movement had earlier use of 'panel' [05:33] put that line last [05:33] 2.6.26 is the latest tho [05:33] the one for you [05:33] apt-get clean does ? i can guess but i want to make sure [05:33] hey i am trying to save a file and it wont let me, i am not the owner how do i provide the authorization [05:33] also try getent groups bogus [05:33] dcolish: doing that now [05:33] what is that? [05:33] that will tell you if you're in that group [05:33] hey a quick 'new to ubuntu' question - how do i install .deb files? (from an rpm background) [05:33] ok [05:33] nickrud: :-0 [05:33] bleh, do you think it make sense to update? [05:33] Bogus8: its going to give you the groups you're a member of [05:33] you can covert rpm files to deb [05:33] bleh: 8.04 has 2.6.24, 8.10 has 2.6.26 [05:33] bleh, ( I am using that box for mythbuntu ) [05:33] cbxrahl_ if you're trying to edit a file outside your $HOME, you need to start with privs. gksu gedit in a terminal [05:34] dcolish: as I should gilligan:x:1000: [05:34] bogus gilligan same same ;) [05:34] ManualOverDozer8, i've heard that, but i have .deb files to install [05:34] Iron_Chef: dpkg -i foo.deb [05:34] thanks [05:34] !alien [05:34] 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) [05:34] dcolish: BUT, putting it at the end was the trick [05:34] iron_Chef you can click on them and open them with gDebi to install the packages [05:34] Yes i have 8.04, i just want to get latest kernel. [05:34] even easier :-) [05:34] Bogus8: there is an override somewhere in the visudo file [05:35] dcolish: odd that that %admin group was the issue... no understanding of that [05:35] only that ONE line after my users line :/ [05:35] Bogus8: you can use getent passwd bogus too [05:35] bleh: Latest kernel for Hardy is .24 [05:35] that might be helpful [05:35] better yet, best not to convert RPM to DEB, ubottu wouldnt say that for nothing [05:35] Flannel, so no point to upgrade? [05:36] dcolish: basically it's a cleaner way to look at the passwd file it seems [05:36] bleh: you could try compiling your own custom kernel but its difficult [05:36] Bogus8: correct [05:36] Iron_Chef DEB files are nice for new users [05:36] must safer too [05:36] demasrv: Near the bottom of the menu.lst file you should see lots of sections that begin with the line "title Linux" and end with the line "boot" [05:36] dcolish: so for educational purposes, why did that %admin line fuck me all up? [05:36] bleh: Just stick with the Hardy kernel, yeah. [05:36] can someone tell me why in the world i can get onto irc but can't get browse the internet [05:36] !language | Bogus8 [05:37] i think it might have something to do with my computer and not my router [05:37] hello, anyone help me, every time i want to quit my ubuntu by click the quit button, the x windows will freeze, what can i do? [05:37] bleh: 2.6.24-19 is current, 2.6.24-20 is next week [05:37] Bogus8: the line order is important in visudo, so you must be a member of admin somehow [05:37] demasrv: You'll see one of the lines starts with the word "kernel" this line tells what kernel to boot if this section was picked at in the boot menu. [05:37] nickrud: appologies [05:37] Bogus8 a bummer, ubottu is seriously lagged or dead [05:37] ice109: are you set the dns server? [05:37] Bogus8: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [05:37] michael_ what do you mean? [05:37] dcolish: that's kind of scary... Oh, you know what... that's probably the way ubuntu gets you into root as I never was told to define a pssword for it [05:38] title Ubuntu 8.04, kernel 2.6.26-ultimate [05:38] root (hd0,4) [05:38] kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-ultimate [05:38] ManualOverDozer8, ubottu i meant *I'm* from an rpm background :-) [05:38] Bogus8: because you're in the admin group? [05:38] not the packages [05:38] What is the best way to get the new image [05:38] is that correct? [05:38] michael_ how do i do that [05:38] ... [05:38] ... [05:38] ice109: you need to set the dns sever, which will reslove your url to ip address [05:38] Iron_Chef i am not from old-school linux so RPM's are foreign to me [05:38] demasrv: Yeah You can copy the entire section and make a new option for your new kernel. [05:38] sn9: yeah, I didn't think I would be as I wouldn't the a regular user would be jammed in there but since this is the user that the install created I guess it figured I would have to be to get anywhere after setting up the box ;) [05:38] ice109: you use ubuntu? [05:38] xubuntu but close enough [05:38] Iron_Chef i know they are there but i never used them [05:38] ManualOverDozer8, heh I'm from C++ days even ;-) [05:39] Hi, does anyone know of any programas that can recover deleted files, I have allreadu tried foremost and it didn;t find what i wanted [05:39] which leads me to ask... why doesn't ubuntu ask you to set a root pass when installing? [05:39] ManualOverDozer8, rhel and sles use them [05:39] !root | Bogus8 [05:39] Bogus8: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo === deadbeef is now known as deadbeef-zZz [05:39] Bogus8: because the root account is locked. [05:39] ice109: at the right top, network setting, find the dns tag [05:39] Bogus8: do a getent groups admin [05:39] you or a group you're in is associated [05:39] ice109: and input your isp's dns server address in it. [05:39] also try the same for passwd [05:40] nickrud: I figured that as soon as I tried to su - and realized I never set the password... was just wondering why ubuntu chose to do it that way [05:40] ... [05:40] umm i'm connected to a router [05:40] Bogus8: because sudo allows finer controls over who can do what, etc. [05:40] i don't know if that affects anything [05:40] JorgeAlvare1: your files are gone [05:40] Bogus8 that link gives some of the rationale. Personally, I like sudo for the 4 letter security it gives me. I've had one encounter with romeo foxtrox all in the wrong terminal ;) [05:41] ice109: of course, dns server is a server on the internet. like httpd is a server. you just to use it. [05:41] ok well then i already have my isp dns servers in my list [05:41] but it still doesn't work [05:41] nickrud: lol... I hear ya.. I sudo MOST of the time myself.. just when I initially set up a box there is SO much to do under root [05:42] ice109: you can use nslookup command [05:42] Bogus8: sudo can do that too [05:42] to do what [05:42] Flannel: I guess it forces new users to learn sudo verses just su - [05:42] Bogus8: just assume root === VERA_AN is now known as adin_da [05:42] sudo su -l [05:42] dcolish: No. sudo -i [05:42] Bogus8 sudo -i [05:42] is wireless supposed to be iffy with the bcw fwcutter [05:42] ice109: to check can you connect to the dns server. [05:42] flannel: whats the diff? [05:43] yeah, that's what I usually do if I have to do a lot in root... but I try not to get in there much [05:43] sn9, oh well i better be more careful next time, thanks [05:43] JorgeAlvare1: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery mentions a few other things you might try [05:43] ok how do i do that [05:43] nslookup then what [05:43] ice109: type some address, like www.google.com [05:43] i'm looking for wine 1.0 , i understand its not in the repos, my question is if i install it from winehq will it get updated when a new stable version comes out? [05:43] and what should i get? [05:43] ice109: can you get the ip address of www.google.com [05:44] dcolish: btw, that getent groups didn't work.. says unkown database 'groups' [05:44] itai-michaelson: What version of Ubuntu are you on? [05:44] thanks glitsj16 [05:44] ice109: ip address of google [05:44] itai-michaelson if the one from ubuntu has a higher release number, it will replace the one from winehq. But winehq is nearly always ahead [05:44] yes i guess that what the print out has given me [05:44] Bogus8: group [05:44] Flannel, hardy [05:44] non authoritive answer blah blah blah [05:44] itai-michaelson: wine 1 is in the repos. [05:44] 5 different ips [05:44] Ah, that worked... I thought about it as I typed it [05:44] lot of spam tonight [05:44] michael_ so what does that mean [05:45] ice109: maybe the problem on your broswer [05:45] itai-michaelson: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy-updates/wine make sure (for this, and a number of other reasons) you have hardy-updates enabled (and hardy-security) [05:45] flannel: from what I can see sudo su -l and sudo -i are the same [05:45] both set the login shell [05:45] Flannel, but apt-cache show gives me :Version: 0.9.59-0ubuntu4: [05:45] itai-michaelson: you don't have -updates enabled then [05:45] michael_ [05:45] ive tried another browser [05:45] doesn't work either [05:45] dcolish: yes, but one only uses one program, and is shorter. [05:45] Flannel, let me check [05:46] dcolish: btw, it does show me in that group... it all makes sense now (hind sight is 20/20 eh?) [05:46] ice109, are you able to ping yahoo?? [05:46] sn9: ok here's the problem... with the bios install... on that laptop I'm currently running a hd install of backtrack2, with no windows... The bios upgrade wants to install to the C drive... so I'm not sure that's an opton.. any other ideas? [05:46] yes [05:46] but look i know something is funny because i can't even access my routers admin address [05:46] Flannel: is it really that much shorter? === VERA_AN is now known as adin_da [05:46] ice109: that's a big problem. maybe firewall? [05:46] Bogus8: better with out my typos [05:46] Flannel, is this not it? :deb-src http://ubuntu.cn99.com/ubuntu/ hardy-updates main restricted universe multiverse? [05:46] ice109, ping your default gateway [05:46] dcolish: Not really, no, but it does use one one program instead of two. [05:47] ice109: try to telnet to the sites by 80 port [05:47] itai-michaelson: it is. Have you updated (sudo apt-get update) recently? [05:47] how do i look that up, i think i know it but i want to check [05:47] itai-michaelson: Oh, that's just deb-src, you need deb too. [05:47] dcolish: haha... if I would have thought about how I had to gain root access to start with it might have dawned on me that I MUST be in a sudo group already DOH! [05:47] itai-michaelson: assuming you want binary debs [05:47] ice109, ping 192.168.1.1 assuming its your default gateway [05:47] Flannel, i copy the wrong entry from the source.list ,i have deb too [05:47] yea i can ping that [05:47] itai-michaelson: Have you updated recently then? [05:47] but when i type that into my browser i get nothing [05:48] !tab | ice109 [05:48] ice109: You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [05:48] err i got a 400 error [05:48] Bogus8: totally true, I think you are given sudo access by default in ubuntu [05:48] Flannel, last week...i'll check now [05:48] ice109: i am not very good at firewall. but i think the problem is there. [05:48] * nickrud forgot about insults in sudoers :) They should be enabled by default [05:48] everyone else on my network is doing fine [05:48] altair: dell often has an "iflash" option [05:48] its not like its my mac address being block [05:48] but i can't telnet google [05:48] either [05:48] ice109, are you telnet google's 80 ports? [05:48] itai-michaelson: that particular mirror is about a week behind regular updates as it is. [05:48] dcolish: yeah, and I'm not used to that from debian or fedora [05:49] ice109, hmm ... aren't you able to access any web-page? [05:49] altair: no, wait, that's intel [05:49] dcolish: when I used fedora I didn't even mess with sudo as it seemed too complicated ;) [05:49] actually on port 80 i can telnet google [05:49] Flannel, i see...china is always far behind.... [05:49] Bogus8: [05:49] ice109, and type get after you telnet it. [05:49] itai-michaelson: no, just that mirror. rootguide.org and Shanghai Linux Users Group are up to date. [05:49] Bogus8: sorry, yeah I run the rhel arch a lot and I always use sudo [05:50] ice109, can you get the html files. [05:50] Bogus8: it leaves a better record in the secure log [05:50] michael_ : i got a bunch of html code [05:50] yes [05:50] hi [05:50] sn9: you mean as the install file? I don't see that there [05:50] and then connection closed by host [05:50] dcolish only the first user (from the install) has default sudo [05:50] itai-michaelson: http://mirror.rootguide.org/ubuntu/ and http://mirrors.shlug.org/ubuntu/ respectively [05:50] Flannel, rootguide is that in china? i never heard of it, is it fast? i use cn99 cause its fast [05:50] ice109, so i dont know where is the problem [05:50] itai-michaelson: those three are all 100Mbps [05:50] how do I mount my windows Devices? I cant see it on places [05:51] flannel: one + for su is the -p flag [05:51] ice109, it seems that you can get the html file. but you can draw it. [05:51] Flannel -thank you! [05:51] I mean windows hard disk [05:51] ntfs [05:51] nickrud: very true, would be pretty messy otherwise [05:51] dcolish: for me it was just that I was new to linux... it was FC3 ;) [05:51] ice109, maybe you can reinstall your browser. [05:51] michael_ : when i try to access a page the loading bar at the bottom just gets stuck at half way [05:51] !ntfs | ai3gtmc [05:51] ai3gtmc: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [05:52] hmm [05:52] dcolish sorry, from the line you where you mentioned it it seemed you weren't clear on the subject. Sorry 'bout that :) [05:52] dcolish: I made myself learn it when I installed debian (obviously not that hard) and have been using it ever since [05:52] !NTFS-3G [05:52] michael_ : well why can't i access my router's admin page [05:52] ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [05:52] altair: do you want to keep the backtrack install? [05:52] nickrud: no worries [05:52] thanks [05:52] dcolish: I believe that'd be -s with sudo [05:52] sn9: nope [05:52] ice109, now, your browser cant show a web. [05:53] michael_ the thing is i have another browser [05:53] ice109, cant show any web. [05:53] no [05:53] no web [05:53] even on elinks i get nothing [05:53] it stalls at request sent [05:53] ice109, maybe your router have a access list. [05:53] ice109, try accessing something from lynx, did you? [05:54] yea [05:54] i get nothing [05:54] it stalls [05:54] arvind_khadri: yes it stalls [05:54] ice109, then call up your isp... [05:54] Flannel: and so it does [05:54] ice109, that's a big problem, hehe. [05:54] arvind_khadri: every other computer on the network is fine [05:54] anyone used nagios? [05:54] Flannel: [05:55] Flannel: habits are hard things to break [05:55] ice109, maybe you can try some plain txt site. [05:55] ice109, hmm ... might be your card... call ISP once and ask him for a check up :) [05:55] dcolish: You're welcome to use what you will, but please only recommend sudo in this channel. [05:55] arvind_khadri: in fact i think the only other one that is having problems is an ubuntu computer [05:55] ice109, when i use ie some day ago, the javascript will show me the same thing. [05:55] Flannel: lets be clear that I suggested sudo su -l [05:55] this is so weird [05:56] ice109, then your settings aint proper i feel... [05:56] Flannel: I am pretty sure the net result is the same [05:56] i can use package manager and everything [05:56] dcolish: right, and in the future, sudo -i would be better. [05:56] ice109, are you able to download through apt?? [05:56] well now i can even access sites [05:57] ice109, yes, now, there's no problem about the network. but the browser. [05:57] but i feel like this is temporary [05:57] dcolish: Flannel: sorry I opened this can of worms :) [05:57] Flannel: it appears that way, but I dont see why you need to suggest I recommended insecure admin practices [05:57] michael_ what about elinks then [05:57] dcolish: I don't believe I ever did so. === ce_oRigiNal is now known as cEw_cyPzt [05:57] ice109, elinks, what? === cEw_cyPzt is now known as ce_oRigiNal [05:57] elinks is a different browser === ce_oRigiNal is now known as ceW_cyPzt [05:58] Flannel: maybe I am missing something, but I am pretty sure you reprimanded me for not suggesting use of sudo [05:58] sn9: so what shall I do ? [05:58] ice109, i get it, have you try the lynx? [05:58] yes [05:58] and it didn't work before either [05:58] ice109, try some simple browser without javascript [05:59] elinks is a terminal browser [05:59] dcolish: channel policy is sudo (because that's Ubuntu policy), sudo su - is better as sudo -i, sudo su is better as sudo -s [05:59] no javascript [05:59] ice109, maybe you should sent a bug report to firefox. [05:59] how's this sound... /etc could be made to be a working copy of a local subversion repository and whenever a package is isntalled it adds its conf files to the repository and then does an update of /etc. Then you can use svn commands "diff" and "revert" to perform useful things [05:59] ice109, i cant help you anymore. that's all i know. sorry. [06:00] dcolish: I apologise if it sounded like I was saying you were being unsafe [06:00] orzo yep, a workable system [06:00] orzo: Except you double+some up on your space requirements [06:00] I am unable to setup my nagios to send emails to me on any other email address then those at @localhost. any comments? [06:00] orzo: er, triple. sorry [06:00] altair: if you don't want to keep backtrack, install windows temporarily [06:01] is there anyone here can help me? that every time a click on the quit button of gnome, it will freeze. [06:01] Flannel: I agree that both sudo -i and sudo -s are better and my habits have been to use sudo su -l or sudo su -p [06:01] sn9: meh alright.. I might have to look into this tomorrow [06:01] sn9: thanks for your help [06:01] hello anyone there do code? [06:02] foxjazz, which code?? [06:02] * nickrud considers 60M as excessive size: nah [06:02] hmm I just installed xubuntu what apps do you think I should have? I already install flash,java,jedit. [06:02] foxjazz, which code? [06:02] you mean which language? [06:02] ai3gtmc: wicd, rip networkmanager right out [06:02] you could even have a foreign subversion repository and packages would just attempt to use update to the right revision number of that global repository [06:02] ai3gtmc, depends on what you need ... [06:02] i have a network share mounting question: i want to mount a windows share permanently , but i have two user on ubuntu, one with admin rights(1000) one without (1001), do i need to create a fstab line for each user? [06:02] foxjazz, yes [06:02] dcolish: whats wicd? [06:03] c#, c++, I could learn perl maybe [06:03] orzo I did do that once, but have gone back to using rcs for /etc. Easy to use, and easy to backup history [06:03] foxjazz, so what's your problem? [06:03] hi guys [06:03] !hi | kun-10 [06:03] kun-10: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [06:03] foxjazz, maybe i can help you on c#. [06:03] ai3gtmc: wicd is a network connection utility that I prefer over network manager [06:03] oh wireles.. Im wired. :p [06:03] ai3gtmc: it works for wired too [06:03] so it has wired too? [06:03] well I went to the ubuntu site, and it's really cryptic to get around the site for developers. [06:03] how can open file NFTS [06:03] ? [06:04] I am interested in helping with development of open source [06:04] oh ok so I install it using"sudo apt-get install wicd" ?

I have been trying to use an external monitor with my laptop. I can change configuration with nvidia-settings. Is there a way to create a script so that it would be easier to switch?

[06:07] esac install gnome-color-chooser, it's a nice gui tool to do just that [06:07] ty [06:07] how come I can't unmount? it says "bash: unmount: command not found" [06:07] itai-michaelson: apt-cache show shows you the package you currently have installed. apt-cache policy shows all available versions in all of your repos (and some other goodies) [06:07] ai3gtmc, its umount :) [06:08] oh lol ok thanks [06:08] unmount command is umount [06:08] i am kind of a newb to linux and was thinking could i install the ubuntu server 64bit base system then add the dreamlinux repos and install the dreamlinux desktop environment so as to end up with a 64 bit dreamlinux? [06:08] Flannel, thank you very much, you have solved the mystery (though wine is not installed on this computer...) [06:08] itai-michaelson: well, assuming you have the package installed, otherwise apt-cache show will show the version that would be installed. [06:08] harisund, as they have been designed so... :) [06:09] deadlyallance052, why not just use ubuntu desktop? [06:09] you do realize that you guys' own page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo has instructions on how to remove the password prompt for sudo... I got a lot of "I wouldn't recommend it" and it really doesn't say anything about not recommended there... so not sure if someone wants to put a note in there or what... just FYI [06:09] can I install Ubuntu from the CD iso without actually burning the CD? I mean can I just directly use the image from a Linux paritition? [06:09] hmm Im getting a "Ignoring /dev/sda1 - already in /etc/fstab" error when I try to use diskmounter [06:09] Hi *. I have been trying to use an external monitor with my laptop. I can change configuration with nvidia-settings. Is there a way to create a script so that it would be easier to switch? [06:09] roadfish, no thats not possible...you can use netboot though [06:10] speaking of that page... it says root is locked.. but I was still able to sudo su -... so did that unlock it or is that a special case? [06:10] Flannel, mmmm...if wine is not insatlled why does show shows me .95 and policy 1.0? [06:10] !netboot | roadfish [06:10] roadfish: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install?

Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [06:10] Flannel: one curiosity, why include su at all if ubuntu does not approve of its use [06:10] arvind_khadri: ok, netboot ... thanks [06:10] Bogus8: there used to be [06:10] roadfish, welcome :) [06:10] itai-michaelson: I'm not sure. [06:10] hmm anyone? .. XD how do I remove /dev/sda1 in fstab? [06:11] roadfish, if i were you id probably try a netinstall..you know install ubuntu over the network/internet [06:11] dcolish: because some people prefer it, and its one of those things "all" linuxes have. [06:11] itai-michaelson, policy will show the package in the repo and if its installed or not... [06:11] dcolish: well, it's one thing not to approve of it and another thing to limit people that still know and want it [06:12] arvind_khadri, what does "apt-cache show" show? [06:12] dcolish: one might not approve of drinking but they aren't going to be an A-hole and say "you can't in my house" if they are having a gathering or something... maybe I'm off but it seemed to fit ;) [06:12] Flannel, Bogus8: a user could easily install it if they chose [06:12] will ubuntu install .deb packages? [06:13] jeffspeff: yes [06:13] Bogus8: byosu [06:13] dcolish: true, but it is basically a standard [06:13] where is fstab located? [06:13] Bogus8: absolutely, just a thought [06:13] itai-michaelson, it displays records for named packages as dpkg --print -avail does [06:13] Bogus8 the key there is the sudo, that gave you root perms to use su [06:13] dcolish recommend is not the the same as forbid another method [06:13] can anyone tell me how to install jdk? I installed it with sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk, but it can't compile anything correctly [06:14] hi [06:14] nickrud: ok, so it's still technically locked? [06:14] arvind_khadri, i;m not sure what that means, why would show and policy give different versions? [06:14] nickrud: i dont know if not installing by default is forbidding, see movie players [06:15] itai-michaelson, try #ubuntu-motu [06:15] dcolish: but the ubuntu peeps don't want to make waves and not include something that might make 1337 peeps scoff at their distro ;) [06:15] arvind_khadri, whats that? [06:15] Bogus8 yes [06:15] nickrud: thanks [06:15] anyone can help me install LAMP on xubuntu? [06:15] i just read a blog report on the problems with hardy, and a lot of them seem to be ones I am having and a lot of other folks aparently, do we know if there are any plans to fix these issues? [06:15] dcolish, Bogus8: sudo is not a replacement for su [06:16] itai-michaelson, its a channel where MOTU members are there :) [06:16] can anyone tell me how to install jdk? I installed it with sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk, but it can't compile anything correctly [06:16] dcolish not the same at all ;) [06:16] arvind_khadri, i think my question was whats motu... [06:16] sn9: I agree... I think the point being argued is that it is being presented as such it seems [06:16] !motu | itai-michaelson [06:16] itai-michaelson: motu is short for Masters of the Universe. The brave souls who maintain the packages in the Universe section of Ubuntu. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU [06:16] does "Sudo apt-get install wine" work for a wine installation? [06:16] itai-michaelson: motu just means folks who make packages [06:17] arvind_khadri, i'm not sure dare venture there,,, [06:17] i dont know why its called motu but I seriously doubt it is such a name as masters of the universe [06:17] ai3gtmc: I usally just install phmyadmin that usally covers everything [06:17] itai-michaelson, they are really friendly :) [06:17] nando yes [06:17] ubuntu folks have much more humbleness than that [06:17] nickrud: sn9 Bogus8 agreed, and this would probably apply to advanced users only anyway, who could totally install it in under a minute [06:17] i am kind of a newb to linux and was thinking could i install the ubuntu server 64bit base system then add the dreamlinux repos and install the dreamlinux desktop environment so as to end up with a 64 bit dreamlinux? [06:17] forthdimenison thank you [06:17] nando: yes, but you might not get an updated package, to get them go to wines webpage and add their own repository [06:17] nando yes [06:17] nando yes [06:17] lol wrong paste [06:18] arvind_khadri, ok...i'll give it a try [06:18] can anyone tell me why sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk doesn't work? [06:18] it installs but the compiler doesn't work. [06:18] dcolish: as I said, I think it would be a no go because of the fear of backlash from such snobbish people and the distro "biz" is pretty cut throat it seems [06:18] fourthdimension: what goes wrong with it? [06:18] Bogus8: yeah probably [06:18] fourthdimension: sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun [06:18] gives me errors in compiling anything besides a hellow world program [06:18] like ones dealing with objects, imports, etc [06:18] dcolish: need an example, talk to gentoo people ;) [06:19] http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/non-free/s/sun-java6/ [06:19] fourthdimension: sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun [06:19] jeez anyone?.. :( [06:19] aptitude is the preferred over apt-get [06:19] vook: Not really, no. [06:19] ai3gtmc: anyone what? [06:19] http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-package.en.html [06:19] know how to install LAMP [06:19] deadlyallance691 I doubt that would be compatible ... but I guess it would be possible to install the Enlightenment Desktop Enviroment in Ubuntu [06:20] itai-michaelson, policy is meant to help debug issues relating to the preferences file. With no arguments it will print out the priorities of each source. Otherwise it prints out detailed information about the priority selection of the named package. === _benklop is now known as benklop [06:20] IBM_4690_Operating_System_Messages_Guide_Version 5.2 defines 'panel' as "The complete set of formatted information that appears in a single display on a visual display unit." This seems to me a rather rare use of the word 'panel' in Ubuntu. Do you agree or did I overlook something?

[06:20] hi [06:21] why is ubuntu sutch a pain to watch at ? [06:21] !lamp | ai3gtmc [06:21] ai3gtmc: no, but I think google could tell me [06:21] ai3gtmc: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL.

I have been trying to use an external monitor with my laptop. I can change configuration with nvidia-settings. Is there a way to create a script so that it would be easier to switch? [06:22] Hi guys i installed nvidia but when i reboot my x server does not run any idea i used the installer. [06:22] It runs when i use the installer, but after reboot it doesn't run again. [06:22] bleh , which installer ? [06:22] I've had synergy working before, just using the conf files. Today I am trying quick synergy for the second time... [06:23] blank screen? [06:23] bullgard4: #ubuntu-offtopic would be a more appropriate place for that question [06:23] ah, LAMP, I was thinking LDAP woops [06:23] <[-Mabus-]> anyone have Kismet installed that can tell me where the default output for the log files is? [06:23] bradtek, NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.09-pkg1.run [06:23] bleh: don't use the installer [06:23] and again, no matter what I do, nothing seems to happen. I've names the screen and link to the server, it starts without errors, but nothing happens... :/ [06:23] I used the Hardware drivers in System options, but its an old version need updated. [06:23] its 160 somthing. [06:24] lamp isn't hard to install... just install what you need... usually if you pick the right one the rest follow in anyway... like phpmyadmin [06:24] Why isn't there a 'two computer' screenshot or setup conf example? [06:25] could i get some assistance setting up ximapd? i'm trying to setup squirrelmail, and i'm getting an error saying theres no IMAP service on port 111. [06:25] any help would be great [06:25] [-Mabus-]: current dir, iirc [06:25] sn9, what shall i do then ? [06:25] Have you tried Envy to install [06:25] Since i don't need the old version [06:25] bleh: use the old version [06:25] jgoo: because you haven't written it yet [06:25] Do games suck under wine? [06:25] envy uses old version ? [06:26] nando: no....well...it depends on your video driver and what version of wine and what game [06:26] <[-Mabus-]> sn9, I'm looking for the Kismet output files [06:26] vilemaxim, wow. awesome. The comment is in the context of, if you are going to write some help, and they have, and people do, why don't people, humans, naturally gravitate towards real world examples? [06:26] nando: a few friends play WOW used wine [06:27] ok thanks guys ill just have to see for myself [06:27] vilemaxim, not necessarily as 'I want my help!'. I will just hack it more. it is annoying though [06:27] [-Mabus-]: the dir where you start kismet [06:27] when i make mount [06:27] hi, how do I find a slightly old version of a package in ubuntu? [06:27] fuse: mount failed: Device or resource busy [06:27] level1: "slightly old" ?? [06:28] sn9: for example, they released version 10 beta of flash in backports and then within a few hours reverted to version 9 [06:28] sn9: I want to find the package for version 10 [06:29] they probably reverted for good reason [06:29] jgoo: I'm not saying you idea of how documentation should be written is bad. I like screen shots... but a lot of people... new to open source... often complain about lack of documentation... or poor documentation, but when they figure something out, they don't write it ether. [06:29] apparantly it caused system crashes [06:29] i.e. version 10 sucked/caused problems/killed people [06:29] =D [06:30] cweagans: imo, killing people is a special cause of causing problems which itself is a special case of sucking [06:30] haha...it wouldn't be if you were a ninja [06:30] =D [06:30] s/cause/case [06:31] search says its in hardy backportrs [06:31] you are still causing problems, just not for you [06:31] http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=default§ion=all&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=flash [06:31] bradtek: yes, its version 10.0.1.218+10.0.0.525ubuntu1~hardy1+really9.0.124.0ubuntu2 [06:31] note the end [06:31] really9.0.124.0ubuntu2 [06:31] <[-Mabus-]> sn9, thanks found them, they where hinding the /var/ [06:31] lol [06:32] level1: i might still have 10 in my /var/cache/apt/archives if i haven't cleared it [06:32] lol... isn't there a way to get this stuff online though? [06:32] I thought nothing was deleted in the ubuntu archives [06:32] why name it like that [06:32] Hi, I got an issue about ubuntu having x-server freezed half-way [06:33] the last time it crashes merely 3 mins after I start it up. [06:33] I have samba 3.0 installed but I can't find mount.smbfs [06:33] What is the deal here? [06:33] Ontolog: aptitude install smbfs [06:34] Ontolog: I think you need sambamnt or something like that [06:34] hi [06:34] samba package is just for samba sharing [06:34] Hi *... Does anyone here uses a docking stations and knows if there is a way to create a script so that the monitor changes when using the dockign station (without using nvidia-settings)? [06:34] SleepyThor: does it crash when you boot off the ubuntu CD? [06:35] !xrandr | mrwoody [06:35] mrwoody: XRandR 1.2 is the new method of running dual screens in !X. Information/HowTo here: http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 [06:35] no, vilemaxim, when I'm on a working system [06:35] what's the advantages of setting up a chrooted environment [06:35] sn9: ok.. thanks. Does it work for docking stations? [06:35] it's find if I move my hdd to the other computer, but when working on my own testbed laptop, it freezes. [06:35] sleepster: testing? development? [06:35] mrwoody: docking is an acpi event [06:35] SleepyThor: you video card might be bad... so a live cd might tell you if your problem is hardware [06:36] cweagans: does it add security? [06:36] Hello world! [06:36] I instaled ubuntu and after I updated it it won't load and it brings me to this busybox (imitramfs) screen..any idea whats wrong? [06:36] Where can I find some linux sounds to use for Pidgin? where are the default sounds stored? [06:36] has anyone used "Discover" to look at hardware in Hardy ? [06:36] ubuntu sounds that is [06:36] sleepster: couldn't tell you...I used it for building a LFS system [06:36] sn9: ok.. so does that mean it should work? at the moment, the only way I can get the external monitor to work is to use nvidia-settings [06:36] vilemaxim: I'm suspecting a bad video carda as well. [06:37] sleepster: yes it does [06:37] mrwoody: you can always do things from the terminal. here's the script that I would use: reboot [06:37] =D [06:37] mrwoody: make sure the acpi modules for docking are loaded, and add an event handler to hal-info [06:37] sleepster: commands executed in the chroot cannot effect the non chroot environment [06:37] vilemaxim: oh nice.. [06:37] cweagans: it is not quite true [06:38] sleepster: kinda a jail... sometimes refered to that way [06:38] mhz128: there are some in /usr/share/sounds [06:38] sn9: well at the moment, before I want to do that I want to make sure I can change the configuration using only the terminal [06:38] sn9: otherwise would it work? [06:38] vilemaxim: I need to restrict the commands users execute on my box so I was planning to use chroot to do that [06:39] mrwoody: from the terminal, just use xrandr [06:39] create a usr/bin that will contain symbolic links of the commands that I will only allow them to execute [06:39] sleepster: I use to run debian stable and unstable at the same time... with Xservers for each one on F7 and the other on f9 [06:39] sn9: cool thanks, how do i play ogg files? ubuntu wont let me [06:39] mhz128: just open them [06:39] sleepster: the chroot must have everything they need in it [06:40] sn9: "no availble software to view this file" [06:40] hmm [06:40] vilemaxim: so is there a way to restrict the users from executing specific commands using chroot? [06:40] anyone know if ubuntu's 64bit version has good multimedia codec support or is it lacking far behind 32bit ubuntu? [06:40] sn9: xrandr doesn't seem to realize that there are 2 monitors, unless I use nvidia-settings [06:40] sleepster: sometimes mounting proc within the chroot helps with devices [06:40] sn9: I will try more [06:40] if so, can you install a "server kernel" after you install 32bit ubuntu, so you can see all your ram if you have over 4gigs [06:40] you really don't want to do that though [06:41] sleepster: cannot say I'm an expert on it... just played around really. But the simplist way is to limit what you put in the chroot [06:41] mhz128 : /usr/share/sounds/ [06:41] sn9: never mind, you can't run files from the gnome search tool...... only from nautilus...... how weird [06:41] thanks viezerd [06:41] sleepster: if bash isn;t in the chroot, they cannot do anything. [06:41] thanks vilemaxim [06:42] /msg ubottu etiquette [06:42] sleepster: no problem [06:42] so anyone know if theres a true advantage to installing 32bit ubuntu+ server kernel to see all yoru ram and use all multimedia codecs, vs using a 64bit kernel, and not have as much multimedia codecs? [06:43] but seeing all your ram w/o installing/upgrading the kernel [06:43] sleepster: take a look at http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-tips.en.html [06:43] binskipy2u: kernel has nothing to do with multimedia codecs [06:43] sleepster: section 8.6.35 chroot [06:43] but 64bit ubuntu doesnt have as many codecs [06:43] binskipy2u: the only difference really is that 64bit stil has troubled flash support [06:43] but 32bit does [06:43] hmm how do I add another monitor? IM on xubuntu [06:43] but 32bit doesnt see all my ram [06:43] i'm missing close to 800mb [06:43] 3.2something [06:43] when i have 4gigs [06:43] sleepster: that was the document that got me started [06:44] thanks vilemaxim [06:44] binskipy2u: how do you check ram? [06:44] ai3gtmc: free [06:44] top [06:44] and system info [06:44] 3.2something [06:44] ai3gtmc: or top [06:44] sleepster: no problem [06:44] total system memory [06:44] when i have 4. gigs [06:44] jeez im on xubuntu.. [06:44] Is anyone available to help with ATI driver install? [06:45] If you have >4GB RAM and want to see/use all of it then use a 64 bit kernel/OS. Don't take shortcuts. [06:45] powertool08: which ati do you have? [06:45] powertool08: sudo apt-get install envy [06:45] then use envy to install it [06:45] so anyone know how to add another monitor? [06:45] works great [06:45] sn9: 9600xt [06:45] powertool08: you don't need any ati driver [06:45] envyng is awesome [06:45] hi wld any1 know wat happened to getdeb.net? [06:45] Well, I got all four emails sent off - hopefully I can make some money from them [06:45] ttyal [06:45] sn9: ?

[06:51] i guess 800mb doesnt really matter, 3.2gigs should be enough for anything yoyu can throw at it [06:51] cweagans: oops! [06:51] SleepyThor: and move the drive to that system? [06:51] still beats vista [06:52] =D [06:52] vilemaxim: I installed this ubuntu on the offending system, then moved the drive to another one which seemed to work (all the machine has the same hardware config though sans a couple of keyboard differences afaik) [06:53] SleepyThor: I would try moving to a vesa driver and see if that helps [06:54] does ubuntu have issues with sata booting? [06:54] how i restart x? [06:54] dfgas: not that I noticed. I'm on sata now [06:54] vilemaxim: how would one set the display driver to vesa? [06:54] dual sata drives now [06:54] SleepyThor: safe graphics mode [06:54] SleepyThor: I haven't had the need to do that in a while, but dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg I think [06:55] I would drop into a non X terminal [06:55] I guess you have no choice. [06:55] dfgas: i had problems with dual sata drives, i had to change my grub device.map [06:55] didn;t think that through [06:56] suraklin, can you explain more [06:56] is there a way to install live cd distros to boot from HD? [06:56] dfgas: for some reason drive 1 was being seen as sdb and and drive 2 was being seen as sda [06:56] i am assuming yes but just want to make sure [06:56] vilemaxim: it didn't say anything about display settings, it just babbled about keyboard! [06:57] xinnix: I think you can get grub to boot iso [06:57] dfgas: so i edited /boot/grub/device.map to change /dev/sdb to hd0 and /dev/sda to hd1 [06:57] .org [06:57] oops wont try that again :) [06:57] dfgas: then i ran update-grub and grub-install to fix my boot issues [06:57] SleepyThor: the hard way would be to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [06:58] SleepyThor: look for drive under device [06:58] that's not hard [06:58] vilemaxim: well, it has been edited. :P [06:58] but as a carboncopy from the driver provider. [06:58] hello, does anyone have any idea on how to get sata hard drives to work on an a8n-sli motherboard with 8.04 x64 [06:59] SleepyThor: change to vesa [06:59] When I try to enable desktopneffects I getb theb error 'Desktop effects could not be enabled', does anybody know why?

I hate directing noobs there, but if you have been editing it before you shoudl be fine === suraklin_ is now known as suraklin [07:00] suraklin, acutally he is saying that when he has both drives hooked up he has problems that ubuntu won't show the sata drives at all unless he unhooks one or runs them both off of his sata raid card. however he is not running raid [07:00] vilemaxim: I'm a noob actually, but I'm at a loss as to why it works on this current computer but not my own testbed, [07:00] sn9:you mean change it so the hdds appear as raid? [07:01] vilemaxim: would it be a cooling problem? [07:01] SleepyThor: not sure what the problem is. vesa is a very simple driver [07:01] vilemaxim: I'll need to check whether it is actually on vesa. [07:01] SleepyThor: you would think windows would suffer the same probelm then [07:01] marki613: options should be legacy, raid, or ahci. choose ahci [07:01] vilemaxim: funny enough, it seemed to be fine atm. :S [07:02] michael: sounds like you're not using an accelerated video driver. No idea what you're supposed to use with a PS3 though. I know it's an nVidia of some sort but I doubt you can just go to the hardware drivers panel and intall their normal driver... [07:02] It's so awkward that I don't even know what sort of black magic it is going on. [07:02] hi [07:03] could anyone help me with mythtv? my tv card isn't to be recognized after i modprobbed the cx18 coxenant driver [07:03] LSD|Ninja, got any advice then? [07:03] is there any option to show time in netstat command [07:03] michael: I've heard from a friend that linux installed on PS3 does have access to the video card's acceleration... by design [07:03] michael: nope, if I even get a PS3 I sure as hell won't be installing Linux on it :P [07:03] can i unmodprobe it to where it was before [07:04] eross: what kinda of card is it [07:04] eross: you may need the to add pitti's (martin pitt's) apt repository === mak|m0m0 is now known as mpking [07:04] vilemaxin - dont know, it came with model m7640n hp, think it comes up as iTvi or something under lpsci [07:04] vilemaxim: In fact, I'm trying to stress test the Window system on the offending machine. [07:05] eross: ivtv? [07:05] sounds like it sn9 [07:05] sn9:there's not option to change it only to enable or disable the sata controller [07:05] SleepyThor: I dobt it's a cooling problem then [07:05] I'm trying parse the output of nm-tool in a bash script. There is a line in the form " IP Address: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx". How can I get just the address portion of this line?

[07:07] Arodon, use the command "cut" with ":" as a delimiter [07:08] vilemaxim: methinks it actually was part of the problem as the cooling fan was not working well, but that has been fixed and the problem is still recurring. [07:08] harisund: ok thanks:) [07:08] sn9: I have been trying to use xrandr... but it seems that it can only see the internal monitor (until I use nvidia-settings) [07:08] do i need to reinstall the os? [07:08] eross: I had to pass kernel options when loading the card... there are 2 options with 0-24 in either and different ones would give me sound and color.... it was painful [07:08] mrwoody: oh, well... [07:09] eross: i doubt that will help [07:09] SleepyThor: but no recurring under windows now though... right [07:09] LSD|Ninja, apparently Sony restrict access to the graphics cardsv full functionality under Linux. [07:09] vilemaxim: yup [07:09] so it'd be a driver problem [07:10] SleepyThor: unless your install for messed up... that is what it seems like to me [07:10] i am using custom base ubuntu installation . i use openbox and want to put some application launcher much like a dock , which doesn't have a system tray.

[07:10] SleepyThor: the vesa driver would help figure out if it's your Xserver [07:10] tv-time doesn't work, won't let me change the video source from /dev/video0 [07:11] SleepyThor: wouldn't hurt, but I would try vesa drivers first... a lot faster [07:11] Is it possible to get realtransparancy with metacity? [07:11] Morning [07:11] mrwoody: read the nvidia driver readme? other than that, no [07:11] vilemaxim: though it didn't seem to ask me that question when I entered dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [07:11] ledenby: no i'm actually using pidgin from ubuntu right now...

[07:20] does anyone else sense it? (i'm not trying to flame, I'm genuinely concerned, perhaps we should forward this to the appropriate people) [07:20] yeah....backports sucks [07:21] but I don't care because I compile all my software [07:21] =D [07:21] cweagans, it didn't used to, there used to be a deal of quality control... [07:21] i could try to install mythbuntu directly [07:21] is there any way to stop that "border fade to panel" thing ? it drives me nutz i dont like it [07:21] SleepyThor: I work for a pc repair company and am always looking for test programs [07:21] ManualOverDozer8, what do you mean border fade? [07:21] vilemaxim: aha [07:21] when i minimize the app, it fades to panel [07:21] cweagans: i don't want to use compiz . just a simple application launcher with no system stay and as far as i know awn shows the icons of the application that are running [07:22] well, as I said, I'm a noob who's also a noob at the company I'm working atm.

[07:22] m0u5e the border outline fades to the panel, maybe better way to put it [07:22] though ironically, most people don't know linux: they stress test everything in Windows, and only install Linux before they ship out. [07:22] vilemaxim: so far so good. [07:22] why does the new kernel freeze after gdm [07:22] <[T]ank> does openvpn do pptp? [07:23] eh...no....

How can I made synaptic just to ignore this package? [07:24] * N3bunel saluta [07:24] Skandalist: use apt-preferences and pinning [07:24] joe_chat: it's not kernel freeze it is that compiz and other startup items problem. log into gnome-safe mode and strike off the useless startup scripts from sessions [07:24] SleepyThor: well it's almost 1:30 here so you can have the chat room. take care. [07:24] m0u5e lets see.... when i minimize and application from maximized, it shows a jittery outline of the application down to the panel. it only does it wen i click on mininmize, not when i click on the panel again to maximize it [07:24] it seems gdm uses x windows and the freeze might be gnome or kde both freeze [07:25] Skandalist, first try "sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude full-upgrade" and see if synaptic can solve that problem [07:25] ok [07:25] brb....gotta poop [07:25] =D [07:25] m0u5e i shut off visual effects in which it looks a little better but the visual effects dont go so well with this old vidcard [07:25] ManualOverDozer8, ah i know what you mean, i get that problem too... i think its an opengl bug [07:25] talking about time difference... [07:25] i installed ubuntu 8.04 and the gnome-panel gets stuck a lot. [07:25] ManualOverDozer8, I don't remember if I fixed it, but currently i don't use the animations plugin (i use juse fade out) [07:26] ufk, stuck? [07:26] like... gnome-panel freezes and i cannot start any new X program [07:26] joe_chat: just log out and choose gnome-safe session or something like that which i don't remember exactly [07:26] m0u5e yes it looks better but i turned it off. i have old mx440 and it struglles [07:26] ufk: are you by chance using backports and flash? [07:27] ManualOverDozer8: yeah, it might just be our gpus are too old :( [07:27] backports in /etc/apt/sources.list ? [07:27] hello, anybody knows where can i ask python+gtk questions?? [07:27] flash 10 works good on this machine, but if you look at description it says "but really 9.xx.xxx" [07:27] zen-xstat_, #pygtk i believe [07:27] ManualOverDozer8: thats because backports got "fixed" [07:27] m0u5e, you mean a repository called backports ? [07:28] ufk: well the ubuntu-backports repos... so i suppose yes? [07:28] ManualOverDozer8: that's because flash10 is still in beta. [07:28] i wasnt aware, i just happen to install it. this is new install as of last week [07:28] ManualOverDozer8: well, on my own machine, sometimes, Flash Player 9r117 fails on Firefox. [07:28] let me check [07:28] unop: must include the # right? [07:28] zen-xstat_, right [07:28] ManualOverDozer8: I'ved heard lots of problems with flash 10 (and I've experienced quite a few myself) [07:29] m0u5e yes as have i. i must have gotten lucky, it worked the first time i installed it [07:29] m0u5e, backports in not enabled. [07:29] ManualOverDozer8: do you ever try to "maximize" the screen... thats usually where my problems began [07:29] back [07:30] "maximize screen" ? not sure what you mean. its default settings, at 800x600 === todd is now known as Guest6668 [07:30] m0u5e: should i enabled backports ? [07:30] ufk mm have no idea then... have you tried to kill X and restart? or does it always boot in like that [07:30] ufk: no [07:30] the apps that show at the bottom in the panel, clicking on them between min and max will do it, but not min to max [07:31] m0u5e, it works if i do that.. but this problem happens very often [07:31] ufk: i was just asking about backports, because i experienced what you are experiencing when using flash10 [07:31] m0u5e, flash10 is also in backports ? [07:31] ufk: huh.... do you remember when it started? [07:31] m0u5e more just an anoyance rather than a bug, i know why the outline is there, but i dont like it, as i never liked any fades or special effects on windows [07:31] I'm trying to install the driver from Epson for the Stylus C90, but I get this error message: "su: Authentication failure." I'm using the correct password, so what does this mean? [07:31] ufk: not anymore (thank god) its not [07:31] m0u5e, it started since i installed ubuntu [07:32] i like straightup speed, i dont need no eyecandy to run a machine :) [07:32] it's a new installation on lenovo r61 [07:32] and with this vidcard i need every single mhZ it can push [07:32] i have a very important process that is running for two days. [07:32] and i cannot kill X [07:32] because i started it on a terminal on X. [07:32] ufk: well, you could try reinstalling nautilus [07:33] ufk: and killing nautilus and restarting [07:33] ufk CTRL + ALT + BACKSPACE be carefull [07:33] ManualOverDozer8: no that would kill his X... [07:33] attempt at your own risk [07:33] ctrl-alt-backspace will kill my X session and currently i can't because of an important process that is running. [07:33] yes i tried it [07:33] can i move the computer to sleep state from console ? [07:33] hmm, ufk, your problem seemed to be similar to what I have. [07:33] what options do i remove from menu.1st to get rid of the splash screen? is it "quiet splash" ? [07:33] ther eis a restart i forget the command though [07:34] ufk: too bad there's no way to attach that process to screen :( [07:34] google hit on restarting X > http://johnboy45.wordpress.com/2006/09/09/how-to-restart-x-windows-without-rebooting/ [07:34] ManualOverDozer8: but it would kill his immediate processes wouldn't it? [07:35] ufk: in the future, use screen to start processes that you might want to keep running while killing X [07:35] suraklin, yeah :( [07:35] hindsight is 20/20 :( [07:35] i just learned about screen today, i had no idea how powerful it is [07:36] it reminds me of Desqview [07:36] sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [07:36] gee gentoo has an ugly bootup - without the splash\ [07:39] gentoo is ugly [07:39] typically, distros get prettier and less stable the more they're forked [07:39] debian -> ubuntu -> mint [07:40] hah [07:40] oh i mean ubuntu sorry guys, the gentoo on looks neat :-P [07:40] the text on ubuntu boot up looks like a C64 [07:40] h4x [07:40] are you on a widescreen? [07:41] no, lappy [07:41] the font is massive [07:41] must be 20 point or something [07:41] use apt-preferences and pinning / sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude full-upgrade - I don't have these things... [07:42] other than that it looks great - i'm coming from 10 odd years using other (now more commercial) distros [07:42] i use gentoo on my 'rice-burner' though ;-) [07:43] ubuntu looks really solid (now) [07:43] must only be a matter of time before they too go corporate ;-) [07:43] (not trolling, just joking) [07:43] put gentoo on your netbsd toaster :) [07:43] h4x3ls10r: it's because your screen is prolly widescreen, and the front usplash is just inproportonate, so you just need to change that [07:44] can i pause a process in console somehow and then to continue ?

[07:44] i killed the splash all together FAJALOU1 it's the init sequence that looks weird (and it's not widescreen) :-) [07:44] ufk: ctrl-Z [07:44] no started on X [07:44] and now X froze..

[09:14] nm, place is for viewport, using that already [09:14] ah your right === belenda1 is now known as belendax [09:14] Place windows for location, window rules for siza [09:14] place windows only sets what viewport/desktop it goes to, using that so all my apps start up on various workspaces === Starnestommy is now known as sheep [09:14] HI there, I am having a problem connecting to a MAC share from ubuntu using smb. Can anyone give me a hand? [09:15] I'm trying to run a windowed app that requires me to press F1 but when I do it fires up a Power Information app/OSD. how can I stop this? [09:16] i have a script /usr/local/cc.sh , which starts cruisecontrol. If i create a symlink in /etc/init.d/ willit work, or will I have to write another script for init.d [09:17] vrotmnenogi [09:17] i have a 2 winxp installed on my machine, the 1st xp is installed at the primary partition and the 2nd one is on extended drive d:, right now i just finished installing ubuntu8 and configured menu.lst of grub, how can i directly boot my second winxp on menu.lst? [09:17] looking for a modem (telephone dialer) not for internet just for making phone calls ...? [09:17] Vrotyoulegs [09:17] ra21vi: you should write an init script with the correct hanlder [09:18] You need kiss my ass [09:18] ra21vi, ideally you want that script to respond to the start, stop and restart commands. [09:18] ikonia: what is meant by handler in script? start | stop | restart etc [09:18] ra21vi, yep [09:18] trojan__: stop that now [09:18] ra21vi: exactly, [09:18] unop: I just need start at this moment, [09:18] ra21vi: look at the functions script that all ubuntu init scripts call [09:18] ra21vi, if you simply want your script to run on bootup, call it from /etc/rc.local [09:18] ikonia: unop right now not willing for stop | restart | and status [09:19] lubaaa [09:19] A [09:19] unop: will it be same when installed on RedHat distros and debian/ubuntu [09:19] nihuya sebe Oo [09:19] opa! [09:19] anyone know a madwifi driver that will work with an atheros 5008 [09:19] ra21vi: it's your call what you do that [09:19] trojan__: stop [09:19] Ra [09:20] ra21vi, well, you can place a symlink in /etc/init.d but then you must enable it for the runlevels you want to run in (runlevel 2 specifically) . i.e. through update-rc.d [09:20] ra21vi, i believe it should be the same on redhat distros too - same init, same style of init scripts [09:21] HI there, I am having a problem connecting to a MAC share from ubuntu using smb. Can anyone give me a hand? [09:21] no [09:21] koth: sure, whats the issue ? [09:21] unop: exactly that is needed. it should start in runlevel 3, so I will create a symlink in /etc/init.d/ and then ?? update-rc.d ? [09:22] hi ikonia: I am sharing a folder in my mac, using it build in share function(both mac share and windows share) [09:22] Thank you ikonia ... ! [09:22] unop: the biggest problem is, I am developing script on Ubuntu and the client needs that on Redhat fedora.. so the script need to be distro independent [09:22] poor guy-trojan- lol [09:22] ok i checked the wireless card plugging again and still i dont see it at my lspci output, can someone say me that whether i should install the wifi driver or firmware or not [09:22] ikonia: I can see the machine in Network [09:22] koth: ok, that sounds reasonable so far [09:22] unop: ok, thanks :) [09:22] ra21vi, i'm not sure how redhat enables script - chkconfig i believe [09:22] unop: bang on [09:22] anyone know a madwifi driver that will work with an atheros 5008 [09:22] ikonia: but the problem i have, is that some of the share is only share to a few user [09:22] unop: yes there they use chkconfig :(\ [09:23] ikonia: and my ubuntu login is different from my mac login, [09:23] ra21vi, on debian/ubuntu. update-rc.d foobar start 60 3 . stop 70 0 1 6 . [09:23] koth: well thats going to be an issue with the share setup on the mac, on either a user or username limit [09:23] ikonia: so my question is: can u "login as a different user" [09:23] Hi all, somehow I can't use Compiz or any visual effects, like those in KDE 4, anymore. All i get is a black and white screen (where the windows are white), any ideas ? [09:23] koth: if your username is different you have to pass the username option -o username=koth for example [09:23] unop: can you please tell me about the 60 3 in parametes [09:24] is 60 priority? and 3 initlevel [09:24] ikonia: ic, i am guessing that is a terminal command, can u briefly guide me to it? [09:24] ra21vi, exactly [09:24] ra21vi, meaning it creates a link /etc/rc3.d/60foobar [09:25] koth: thats right, so "mount -t smbfs -o username=your_mac_user $/path/to/share $/mount_point [09:25] Anyone who's been working with a SVN and can explain how patches are built, for example what does "@@ -31,7 +31,7 @@" mean? [09:25] can anyone help even google is stumped on this one [09:25] ra21vi, it's also better you get the script to respond to the stop control too .. just incase the end-user decides to drop into runlevel 1, you don't want your script running there. [09:25] ikonia: ic. and is there some recommand path for the mount_point? [09:26] synt: thats not really an "ubuntu" question, try #subversion [09:26] koth: where ever you want to mount it [09:26] ah ok [09:26] ra21vi, err /etc/rc3.d/S60foobar [09:26] ikonia: um, ic. let me give it a try right now [09:26] unop: ok, i think creating a symlink of init.d/cc.sh to /etc/rc3.d/S90cc will be fine [09:27] ok unop exactly, [09:27] ikonia: i am a bit confuse on the $path/to/share [09:27] ikonia: does that include the machine name also? [09:28] I want to be able to call a telephone number from my Kontacts database ... is there a dialer for linux? [09:28] koth: yes, the unc name, eg: //mymachine.com/sharename [09:28] unop: just that server is dedicated to Integration Build, so when the system starts, it should start the cc server, and I think creating symlink would be fine there for now... [09:28] ikonia: unc path, ic =D [09:28] unop: thanks a lot :) [09:29] ra21vi, it's only barely making do tho -- put in a little more effort and have the daemon play nice [09:29] ra21vi: use an existing init script as a template [09:30] ra21vi: one of the more simple services [09:30] How do i resize my wubi partition? [09:30] ikonia: sorry again, i am very new to ubuntu. about the mount point. say if i want to mount it at /mnt/mac [09:30] koth: then put th emount point as /mnt/mac [09:30] ikonia: do i have to create that /mnt/mac dir first? [09:31] koth: correct [09:31] koth: mount point has to exist [09:31] ikonia: ic. trying it again now [09:32] How do i resize my wubi partition?

[10:13] Zaher: alright. This is an easy fix. Your problem is you're on gutsy, but you've added the hardy repo for wine. We'll need to change that to hardy, and we'll be fine. [10:13] But what is compatible, I need a cheap, just for playing back music and digi-tv [10:13] well the high end Creative cards are decent and have good linux support afaik [10:13] Finnish_, just get a cheap SB live card [10:14] Flannel: one technical question; is there a somewhat physical limit on real scsi disks that limit the partions to 15? [10:14] <$10 on ebay [10:14] And it works 100%? [10:14] Ah, ok [10:14] what are u susing [10:14] -s [10:14] ? [10:14] I have mpd installed on both maching,how would I my computer to play a playlist on the other computer on mine? [10:14] !u | magneticubuntu [10:14] magneticubuntu: Unless you're Dutch or Flemish, or a government officier, the letter 'U' is not a pronoun. If you want to be taken more seriously, please bother to type out the extra letters in "you". The same goes for "are", "why", "because", "anyone", and so on.. [10:14] Zaher: so, alt-f2, then in there, `gksu "gedit /etc/apt/sources.list"` then we'll scroll all the way to the bottom, and look for a wine line. If there isn't one, let me know. If there is, let me know you've found it. [10:14] why u guys have bots preventing net slang? [10:14] <[-Mabus-]> Anyone here able to get Aircrack-ng and Airmon-ng running on Ubuntu? i'm having problems getting them running [10:14] what u mean by Gusty and Hardy?? [10:15] Zaher, its the version of ubuntu [10:15] hardy is latest [10:15] !hardy | zaher [10:15] zaher: Hardy Heron is the codename for the current release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS) You can get it now from http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu but please use !torrents [10:15] magneticubuntu: because netslang isn't understandable for all [10:15] !u | Zaher [10:15] Zaher: Unless you're Dutch or Flemish, or a government officier, the letter 'U' is not a pronoun. If you want to be taken more seriously, please bother to type out the extra letters in "you". The same goes for "are", "why", "because", "anyone", and so on.. [10:15] fyi ubuntu's naming conventions are alphabetical with each release so you can tell latest release by first letter [10:15] sir_george: I believe it has to do with addressing limitations. 15 is 4 bits of numbering. [10:15] Myrtti, wow a first for me on irc! [10:16] Flannel: thanks, that seems plausible [10:16] magneticubuntu: Because for people who don't speak english as their first language, slang is difficult or impossible to understand [10:16] i understand [10:17] Flannel, though a lot of irc channel goers who are intl tend to speak multiple languages [10:17] the location or file could not be found [10:17] i am not able to see my wireless card at lspci output, i checked the connection and still doesn't seen anything, i also read the https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessTroubleShootingGuide but no solution what is the reason of not detecting? i am using a half mini pci card azurewave i sthe brand [10:17] magneticubuntu, alphabetical thing you said is wrong...the first one was Warty Warthog ... there has been no release with A as a beginning letter [10:17] Zaher: What did you type exactly? [10:17] sorry English is my second language [10:17] arvind_khadri: Alphabetical didn't start until Dapper [10:17] arvind_khadri, sorry but isnt that their policy atm? [10:17] Zaher: that's fine. [10:17] right [10:17] sorry [10:17] arvind_khadri: VirtualBox 1.6.2 - (see last line of paste) [10:18] anyone know how to pin files in specific hardy repositories, like backports, proposed, etc? [10:18] * magneticubuntu started using ubuntu with dapper [10:18] ogzy, maybe you need kernel modules for your device [10:18] Flannel, yeah i know that :) he said for all releases so i said so :) [10:18] Hi again, I have a problem again with mounting a mac shared dir. I can mount it, but i cannot ls it [10:18] I just upgraded to Hardy Heron and the system wont find one of my hard drives... Any one had a problem like this before? [10:18] i was a big debian guy and all my hacker friends ubuntu is waaay broken for a distro :P [10:18] penguen, what modules? you mean the driver? [10:18] yes i mean kernel driver [10:18] UltraNav, why not use the one is repo's?? [10:19] Any of you guys know the args for sym-linking the kernel after a distro upgrade? [10:19] penguen, should i need a driver to see at lspci output? [10:19] anyone have experience with pinning? is it possible to pin backports? [10:19] http://paste.ubuntu.com/32119/ [10:19] ciao [10:20] !pinning | m0u5e [10:20] m0u5e: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [10:20] ogzy, i'm not sure that but you can try, it's my idea === pena is now known as iyank4 [10:20] m0u5e I've been advised that that wiki help page is something to avoid [10:20] is it possible to change the permission on a mounted vol? will this mess up the permission on the original dir? [10:20] Zaher: alright, open up a terminal, and we're going to check to see if anything exists in a directory, two commands: cd /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ and then ls, do you see anything there? [10:20] DJones: i've already read it [10:20] penguen, i am not sure about it [10:20] nickrud: yeah, its not very good, there is a better one here:http://jaqque.sbih.org/kplug/apt-pinning.html [10:21] m0u5e, why pinning? a particular package or other [10:21] Hardy Heron doesnt recognize one of my hard drives. The last version did. Any ideas? /dev isnt even showing the drive at all [10:21] <[-Mabus-]> anyone here manage to get airmon-ng running under ubuntu? i have problems compiling iw.tar.gz files to get it to work [10:21] bazhang: because i dont want a repeat of backports giving me flash 10 [10:22] winehq.list winehq.list.distUpgrade [10:22] m0u5e: the best way to use backports is to not enable it as a repo [10:22] do i need a wireless kernel driver loaded to see the card at lspci output? [10:22] bazhang: flash10 beta made my system extremely unstable, and though i know they've reverted it, idont want a flash beta [10:22] Flannel: but I want other backport apps [10:22] Flannel: flash is the only thing I dont want [10:23] i am sorry for keep spamming, but can anyone help me with a permission question for a mount vol? [10:23] m0u5e: Alright, well, if you must, pin flash to 9.0* [10:23] koth what exactly are you trying to do? [10:23] hi, i have this problem i unistalled Nautilus completely and reinstalled again because i could not browse my network, now after i reinstalled again i can't see anything in my desk top and i can't create folder and shortcuts and i cant access i cant see anything in my network, but i can see my network with konkeror and browse the files good. Can someone help me? I'm using ubuntu gnome hardy 8 [10:23] Flannel: i do want flash updates though, just not through backports, there is no way to pin it to hardy recommended / security? [10:23] Zaher: Alright, go ahead and "sudo rm winehq.list.distUpgrade" [10:24] m0u5e: hardy[non-backports] will all be 9.0.* [10:24] nickrud: I mounted a share dir from a mac, i successfully mount it, but i cannot browse that folder. [10:24] p4_xxx, how did you install it? [10:24] nickrud: but i can sudo ls it. [10:24] hello. can someone help me with this problem. When i try to import contacts from a gmail csv file to evolution in 2.22 running under 8.04 nothing happens. the importer crashes, and i get no output in terminal. please help [10:24] koth ah, mac. No I have no experience with mac drives at all [10:24] Hi, is there any solution for the delay when clicking power-off button on the panel or using System->Quit? It takes like 1 minute until the dialog with restart, shutdown etc. shows [10:24] Zaher: and then we're going to open up the other file for editing as root: sudo nano winehq.list [10:24] ok i did and nothing happened. [10:24] nickrud: that's ok =) thanks for trying. [10:25] Zaher: that means it worked fine [10:25] ogzy, you're right, you don't need kernel modules for that, you can be see pci devices at the lspci outputs [10:25] nickrud: O, it is mounted using smbfs, if that make any different [10:25] koth: Is it listed in your /etc/fstab? [10:25] with synaptic package manager [10:25] Zaher: When we open that, we should see a line that looks something like this: deb http://someurl/ hardy wine, change that hardy to gutsy, then save with ctrl-o and exit with ctrl-x [10:25] koth especially no experience with smbfs, I have no windows machines [10:26] channeling: no, it is not, not yet at least. this is the first time i try to mounting a volume(sorry, i am a newbie) [10:26] nickrud: thanks anyway [10:26] is there some kind of timidity alternative? :| [10:26] available readily in ubuntu repos? :| [10:26] i unistalled from there synaptic package manager and installed the same [10:26] hi all [10:27] hi [10:27] channeling: from what i understand, fstab is for mounting volumn when everytime the os start. [10:27] channeling: is that correct? [10:27] yes, koth [10:28] Flannel, if you a distro upgrade can you use an older kernel to boot? [10:28] there is a way, to mount shares permanently, too [10:28] I can't connect to my router : 192.168.1.1 [10:28] now i would like to have my desktop back and browse files with konkeror [10:28] magneticubuntu: you mean upgrading from say, gutsy to hardy? [10:28] iqson716, other ip addresses or webstie work" [10:28] iqson716: try on 192.168.0.1 [10:28] Flannel, no Dapper to Hardy [10:28] channeling: the volume i am mounting is 1) not always available, 2) need -o when mounting because of the different user name and 3) it asked for a password also. I think i cannot put this mount into my fstab, is that right? [10:29] magneticubuntu: yes [10:29] magneticubuntu: that'd be the same. You... might be able to. I wouldn't count on it though. [10:29] iqson716, are you sure? [10:29] iqson716, tell me error report [10:29] PucKid: Failed to Connect [10:29] koth: if you use the volume daily it's best to mount it in /etc/fstab [10:29] magneticubuntu: the issue is they're definately compiled against different libc6s, and I'm sure the ABI has been broken during that time. [10:29] usually works best as well [10:29] i edit it and open it again and it is empty now! no text!! [10:30] magneticubuntu: But, it might work, I'm really just guessing [10:30] Flannel, yeah i dont want to risk it but i need to sym-link the kernel becauase of my proprietary PPC box [10:30] IS ANYONE HERE [10:30] penguen: telnet 192.168.1.1 [10:30] Trying 192.168.1.1... [10:30] Connected to 192.168.1.1. [10:30] Escape character is '^] [10:30] Flannel, well thanks i'll have to google it [10:31] negge: ic. not Flannel said it is not a good idea, since the volumn that i am mounting is a encrypt volume, and need a password, can i still do that with fstab? [10:31] iqson716, use you telnet for connect? [10:31] koth: -o password [10:31] penguen: yes, and browser [10:31] koth: but if your automounting it, it defaults the object of encypting it [10:31] koth, yes you can : //servername/sharename /mountdirectory smbfs username=userename,password=password 0 0 [10:32] Zaher: paste this into the file: deb http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt gutsy main [10:32] ikonia: right, that's why i don't want to automatic it. [10:32] 8.04 doesnt find my second harddrive, any one have an idea why? [10:32] Zaher: and then save (ctrl-o, ctrl-x) [10:32] koth: so don't automate it then [10:32] iknoia: i just want to be able to browse it with the gui, i can only sudo ls it now. [10:32] channeling: thanks [10:32] koth: as I've explained to you, that is the file system permissions on the mac [10:32] iqson716, maybe you can try to reset your modem [10:33] now is fine [10:33] then? [10:33] ikonia: that's where i am stuck, i can sudo ls it, but not browse it because it is the file system permission on the mac. is there any way to go around this in ubuntu? [10:33] Zaher: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install wine [10:34] i can't boot ubuntu because somehow sda is now sdb which screws up GRUB. Does anybody have any idea hwo this could've happened or how to fix it? [10:34] penguen: I connected to it in live disk [10:35] koth : man mount smbfs ? [10:35] 1240 users & no-one talking?? [10:35] koth: what part is not sticking with you [10:35] it's doesn't matter for connection, you must try to reset your modem [10:35] koth: the permissions are set the MAC file system [10:35] Hey iv been talking but no answers [10:35] Kyle__, try booting with the live cd see if it mounts there maybe drive went bad? [10:35] koth: if you want to change the permissions then you need to change the mac file system [10:35] lol [10:35] kyle___, its a busy channel man [10:36] and its a weird fscking problem :P [10:36] not as weird as Hotmail [10:36] ... [10:36] magneticubuntu, now its something to do with this version, i used to 7 live cd and it found the drive... but this one still doesnt [10:36] ikonia: ok. i get ur point, i can sudo ls, just because i am doing sudo. and the gui is not able get the admin permission and so there is nothing i can do. I get it. I am sorry to make u a bit steam up. [10:36] koth: gksudo nautilus [10:36] kyle___, wait the Hardy live cd wont mount the drive? [10:37] magneticubuntu it doesn't even know its there [10:37] odd [10:37] but the last versoin does [10:37] ide drive? [10:37] its not listed any where in /dev [10:37] ikonia: Thank you! that's all i need. [10:37] not ide... sata [10:37] kyle___, did you check fstab file? [10:38] can somebody help me switch sda and sdb? [10:38] DPic: what do you mean switch ? [10:39] kyle___: What drives do you have in your computer? [10:39] DPic: why? [10:39] DPic: I had the same problem yesterday [10:39] magneticubuntu, naw, its nothing to do with fstab [10:39] koth, if you are using samba to share files on the MAC, you can adjust share permissions on the share for this user you log on as [10:39] DPic: when you get to the GRUB screen, hit E to edit the boot lines and change (hd0,1) to hd(1,1) for example [10:39] hi can someone help me i have a problem with my desktop no icon nothing just the bars , Everything else is fine and if I look in my Desktop folder everything is there as usual but I just can see any of them on the actual desktop. [10:39] Any ideas? [10:39] flannel i have two western digital, sata drives... one 40 g rapter and another 130 g regular [10:39] i have one sata that i just installed ubuntu on and it was sda (hd0) and i have a pata which was sdb (hd1) but somehow they got switched [10:39] Kyle__, well like flannel said maybe your drive gets broken with new driver? [10:39] kyle___: so, both are sata, but you're only seeing one? no sdb at all? [10:39] p4_xxx: does a reoot fit it? [10:39] DPic: why does it mata ? [10:39] matter [10:40] flannel right no sdb at all [10:40] ikonia: ....because now i can't boot ubuntu [10:40] reboot? [10:40] DPic: change the boot order in your BIOS [10:40] DPic: are they on different SATA controllers? [10:40] DPic: sda vs sdb makes no difference for boot order [10:40] p4_xxx: yeah, might fix it [10:40] Flannel: that won't work if you have GRUB installed on a specific drive. [10:40] p4_xxx: save your work then sudo shutdown 0r now [10:40] ok ill try it thanks [10:40] * magneticubuntu wonders is sata is still broken with vista install [10:40] DPic: boot from a livecd, mount your ubuntu file system and change the device.map in /boot/grub on your ubuntu system [10:41] sudo shutdown -r now [10:41] +er [10:41] magneticubuntu: please don't add randomness to the room [10:41] Flannel, should i downgrade my sata drivers? [10:41] negge: Depends on te BIOS. ordering sata vs pata is fickle and entirely BIOS dependent [10:41] ikonia: wouldn't it be easier to just edit the line when you boot and change it there. Once it has booted you can edit it [10:41] ent [10:41] kyle___: Does your BIOS see it? [10:41] i tried going into the bios but it already says that the SATA drive is supposed to boot first [10:41] negge: that would work to, depends on how confortable the guys is [10:41] Flannel, yes it does, and so does windows for that matter [10:41] comfortable even [10:42] DPic: is there only 1 SATA drive? [10:42] yes [10:42] DPic: and 1 PATA? [10:42] and i'm on a liveCD now and gparted shows sata as sdb instead of sda now and i don't know why [10:42] kyle___: odd indeed. I don't know what to tell you. File a bug, see what info they want back, that might be the fastest way. [10:42] ActionParsnip: yes [10:42] DPic: because your BIOS orders PATA in front of SATA [10:42] DPic: check you /etc/fstab [10:42] Flannel, will do... bug tracker is it? [10:43] Flannel: yeah it's weird. I popped in an old PATA drive as IDE1 master, now GRUB thinks the PATA drive is the first one and Ubuntu thinks the SATA is still the first one [10:43] !launchpad | kyle___ [10:43] kyle___: Launchpad is a collection of development services for Open Source projects. It's Ubuntu's bug tracker, and much more; see https://launchpad.net/ [10:43] DPic: mount your / partition in the live environment and give us a pastebin of it [10:43] DPic: all you have to do is change the /boot/grub/menu.lst file. Once you've managed to boot you'll probably have to change some entries in /etc/fstab aswell [10:44] Flannel thank you [10:44] DPic: make sure the menu.lst matches what you have in your fstab [10:45] hello? can anyone tell me how to repair my ubuntu? it doesn't boot up, btw im running off the live disc now [10:45] negge: but i want my SATA drive to be first. i don't want to have to change grub and stuff-- i want it to be the way it was before they somehow got switched [10:45] penguen: It fixed by off&on [10:45] DPic: okay if that's what you want then I don't think I can help you [10:45] DPic: then jump in bios and set the SATA drive 2nd boot device with cd first, then jack out the cd and boot [10:46] iqson716, congrulation :) [10:47] ActionParsnip: the SATA is set as the first HDD but for some reason the PATA drive is sda (hd0) is this my BIOS' fault? [10:47] usually same problems to be fixed with the same method [10:48] DPic: hmm, try changing the hard drive to secondary slave or secondary master, unless you only have one PATA channel on your motherboard [10:48] Sorry to interput, but anyone know the commands to put in the terminal to repair ubuntu from a live disc? [10:48] ActionParsnip: the PATA is set to slave [10:48] :-D everything good i ave my desktop back thank u all now i can see all the shortcuts i had in folders. reboot and problem solved thanks. [10:48] ZaNtE: whats broken? [10:48] p4_xxx: sweet [10:49] p4_xxx: reboots fix a lot although some purists say it can be done without [10:49] DPic: do you have 2 PATA channels? [10:49] Flannel: i tried updated from 7.10 yesterday, in the morning i did a reboot, and logged, and the screen was just blank with the wallpaper [10:49] thanks ActionParsnip [10:50] ZaNtE: does it do it with all users? [10:50] p4_xxx: help where youo can [10:50] hello. can someone help me with this problem. When i try to import contacts from a gmail csv file to evolution in 2.22 running under 8.04 nothing happens. the importer crashes, and i get no output in terminal. please help [10:50] ActionParsnip: Yeah [10:50] ActionParsnip: I think i have four. The strange thing is that i didn't change anything but somehow when i started up my computer grub gave me error 15 and when i booted to a liveCD and looked in gparted sda and sdb were switched. i have no idea how that can happen [10:50] DPic: maybe its due to an update [10:51] ZaNtE: alright, go ahead and reboot the system normally, ctrl-alt-f1 to get to a terminal, log in, and sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade, see if theres any packages that need some help. Also try the "safe" login feature at GDM, go to sessions and chooes the safe gnome/whatever the verbage is and try logging in with that. [10:51] ActionParsnip: haven't installed any updates or anything [10:51] DPic: id try sec slave for the hdd [10:51] just had done a clean install [10:51] DPic: oic [10:51] sec slave? do i have to mess with jumpers/ [10:52] Thank you those that help, i have no problem mounting and using the volume that i need now. thanks [10:52] DPic: does the boot drive boot ok but then start booting from the wrong hard drive [10:52] Flannel: hmm il try get the updates, but i have succesfully entered using safe gnome, although the internet and other things are disabled [10:52] DPic: usually setting a disc to slave means removing all jumpers [10:52] ZaNtE: try sudo /etc/init.d/network restart [10:53] ZaNtE: Alright, if safe mode words, it has to do with your user config. You can try moving that out of the way to see if it fixes it for normal login [10:53] DPic: indeed jumpers. Id have a look at the case [10:53] ActionParsnip: i'm not sure. It gets to grub which gives error 15 [10:53] DPic: have youo researched error 15? [10:54] ActionParsnip: not a lot but i know it's cause by my drives being switched. the pata drive is already set to slave-- is sec slave something different? [10:54] caused* [10:55] ActionParsnip: please elaborate on /etc/init.d/network, i only started with ubuntu 2 weeks ago === ubuntozoide is now known as serve [10:55] anybody know how to change the resolution while booted in text mode? [10:55] penguen: I set my modem as PPPOE and now I want to run a server with a valid IP.Could you help me ? === serve is now known as Ubuntuzoide [10:56] hi is there a ubuntu server for VMware? where can i find it? [10:56] Flannel: also by user config, is it located in my preferences? [10:57] ZaNtE: Uh, a few places. ~/.gnome .gconf... uh, shoot. I should know this. [10:57] n0gear, um, you using VMware player? [10:57] ZaNtE: type it into a terminal [10:57] how can i open some more TCP/UDP ports in Ubuntu? [10:57] yes [10:57] runar__: you don't "open" ports [10:57] ok, you can find virtual apps on VMware's website. [10:58] runar__: you run programs that ask the OS to allocate a port [10:58] there is also a few third parties that distribute them on their own avenues, lemme show you my favorite [10:58] assign then.... You see I'm new to linux and try to hang in there to i get the grip of it [10:58] i found 7.10 ... is there not 8.04 as well? [10:58] if you want to run a server, you must be configure modem with dmz parameter. DMZ must be setting to your local ip address [10:58] this is the whole story: i have two HDDs. One SATA (set to master) and one PATA (set to slave) and the SATA is set to boot first in my BIOS. I installed ubuntu and the SATA showed up as sda (hd0) and the pata as sdb (hd1). I successfully booted to ubuntu but the next time i tried, GRUB gave me error 15. When i booted to a liveCD i saw that my SATA was now sdb and my PATA was now sda. [10:58] I set my modem as PPPOE and now I want to run a server with a valid IP.Could anyone help me ? [10:58] Flannel: well il try the getting the updates and other commands in terminal, thanks brb [10:59] runar__, open ports for what? [10:59] DPic: in the live environment it may detect them different as it doesnt use the fstab on your SATA drive [10:59] n0gear: http://www.google.fi/search?hl=fi&q=ubuntu+server+8.04+vmware+image&btnG=Hae&meta= there are atleast some torrents for it [11:00] ActionParsnip: this is my fstab http://pastebin.com/m7614708a [11:00] eh...

[11:42] DRebellion: i don't understand shit in that file [11:42] reddragon: So a power failure affects it how..? [11:43] reddragon, you better learn quick then. [11:43] ncorpse, I am trying to find out if there is a way to change the lineout jack on my onboard realtek. I broke off a plug inside, and in windows the jack sensing allows me to set another jack as the lineout, but so far have not encountered a 3rd party software or not sure if symbolic links in /dev could do it [11:43] :xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [11:43] ncorpse, there must be a way surely [11:43] SidStudios: when your batery is empty, basicly, it stops working. good enough ? [11:43] actionparsnip: there were no madwifi files on live cd, did sudo apt-get install madwifi and not there [11:43] DRebellion: you better teach me quick then ^_^ [11:43] reddragon: Yeah. [11:44] !gnome panels [11:44] Sorry, I don't know anything about gnome panels [11:44] jason__, are you using a realtek driver in windows? [11:44] Rageon: I have an idea [11:44] SidStudios, whats that [11:44] Rageon: Try starting ubuntu in gnome-failsafe mode? [11:44] ncorpse, yes, in windows. but I'm trying to get things working in linux if possible [11:44] im in it :x [11:44] Rageon: Damn. [11:44] Rageon: What's wrong with deleting all panels and remaking them? It takes like 4 seconds [11:45] nothing tell me how dude! [11:45] reddragon, ok. Each entry goes: 0 0 [11:45] pleeeease [11:45] Rageon: Can you right click them? [11:45] negative. [11:45] http://pastebin.org/58471 - teh fstab [11:45] I need the Genius MousePen 8x6 to get the pen working, and pressure features don't do a thing. [11:45] they are greyed out and non responsive to click or anything [11:45] Rageon: Let me check Google :-p [11:46] jason__, I don't think links to the /dev directory could do this. I don't have any ideas right now... [11:46] the functions that were on the panels arent there, theres nothing but grey [11:46] Can someone tell me why Ubuntu hasn't notified me that my battery has reached 2%? [11:46] bugger. ok thought it was worth a shot. thanks anyway [11:46] And not done anything at all? No suspend/shutdown [11:46] SidStudios, it's suicidal [11:46] SidStudios, what'd google say ? :D [11:47] DRebellion: i'm sorry, i must be retarded. i can't see which one entry should i change/add... [11:47] reddragon, add an entry for the drive [11:47] Rageon: I'm not sure what you mean by functions though [11:47] hello? I need help on my Genius MousePen 8x6. [11:47] reddragon, for options, just use defaults [11:48] eg date/time applications menu, program shortcuts etc [11:48] DRebellion: just any entry ? how do i know what /dev/blabla ? [11:48] its like this one panel infected them all [11:48] with wraith nanites. [11:49] ok that last part was made up but the rest is true [11:49] reddragon, well. How many hard drives do you have? [11:49] jhb1608, you need to configure the drivers and then configure your device in /etc/X11/xorg.conf [11:49] how? [11:49] DRebellion: one, but it's splitted now in two partitions. [11:49] reddragon, ok, what's the number of the partition you want to add? [11:50] Can someone tell me what the application "powersaved" does? (you can install it with aptitude install powersaved) [11:50] jhb1608, search for the right drivers, install these, the take a look at xorg.conf and insert there your new input device [11:50] !info powersaved [11:50] powersaved (source: powersave): power management daemon. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.14.0-8ubuntu1 (hardy), package size 402 kB, installed size 2076 kB [11:50] !info powersaved | SidStudios [11:50] sidstudios: please see above [11:50] DRebellion: i have made two partitions in total, one is the main one, and the other one is just 10gb for installing weird distros and shit... so just one [11:50] anyone know how to select DVI output through the terminal or a file? [11:50] reddragon, no cursing please [11:50] I have the CD [11:51] reddragon, yes, but each partition has a unique one digit number. Run, sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda [11:51] bazhang: sorry, my bad [11:52] ID 5543:0005 UC-Logic Technology Corp. when I did lsusb [11:53] :xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [11:54] whats the apt- command to search for packages by name [11:54] moreau: apt-cache search [blah] [11:54] apt-cache search [11:54] thanks [11:54] moreau: apt-cache search --names-only foobar [11:55] Rageon: never encountered that problem, but if you can get a terminal, run gconf-editor and browse to /apps/panel/ ... might be able to remove a panel from there [11:55] no idea unop? :x [11:55] so cache search looks in name and description? [11:55] yer i have been geirha , cant find anything so far :<<<<< [11:55] moreau, and then there is also `apt-file search foobar` to search for a file named foobar in all packages (but apt-file is not installed by default) [11:55] sure i have before tbh [11:56] okay, thanks [11:56] umm... it won't let me [11:56] permission declined [11:56] moreau, aptitude search is also useful because it shows you whetehr the packages are installed [11:57] moreau, and yes, `apt-cache search foobar` searches for foobar in name and desctiption, add --names-only to search on in package names [11:57] salut [11:57] what do i need to install to get "man X" :aa [11:57] .swp are hidden to shell by default (echo *.swp) how to change it?

How come that Firefox is installed by default in Ubuntu and has this terrible problem. [12:04] ai3gtmc, yes so what's actually your question? [12:04] ai3gtmc: if they are not logged in, they should not be listed with w or who, so everything is as it should be [12:04] jason@jason-desktop:~$ cd calibrate [12:04] bash: cd: calibrate: No such file or directory [12:04] This is what I got. [12:04] Im runnin the configuration file for this game 'FreeReign' and its telling me:: "you need to have the libstdc++ headers installed" but ive already got libstdc++6-4.2-dev installed, and its description says it contains the header files [12:04] FIXED. YEESSSSSS I FIXED MY OWN 2 HOUR PROBLEM! AND IM A NOOB! :xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [12:05] lol. [12:05] oh I see.. ok thanks [12:05] I did updates, I tried a lot to solve it through forums it's so hard and it's so disappointed [12:05] Rageon: congratulations [12:05] Rageon,lol gratz XD [12:05] Rageon: not so noob anymore then ;) [12:05] did you see it? [12:05] Rageon, gongratulations :D [12:05] had to hack into gconf-editor fooley haxor stylez haha :D [12:05] congrats lol [12:05] jandttyyfd: http://pastebin.com/ the output of `/sbin/ifconfig`, `/sbin/route`, and `lspci -vv` please. [12:05] does anyone know if there is a way to specify backports in /etc/apt/preferences? [12:05] maaan hektic gnome bug tho [12:05] Rageon what originally was the problem? [12:06] uh I can't login to the user I made.. [12:06] jandttyyfd: also: has it worked before, and does your wireless lan work for other devices? [12:06] moreau, maybe its looking for headers of an another version of libstdc++ (did you install the build-essential meta package?) [12:06] how do I fix the calbrate? [12:06] ai3gtmc, tried su ? [12:06] Ubuntu 8.04 disappointed me and many friends of mine, it lost the sound almost every session I start while I'm working on Firefox, not just in my comp. How come that Firefox is installed by default in Ubuntu and has this terrible problem. I did updates, I tried a lot to solve it through forums it's so hard and it's so disappointed, i can not fix it. [12:06] Hello [12:06] that i added a panel that overlapped a transparent panel in gnome/compiz and it locked up my panels so they were unclickable [12:06] ncorpse,I didn't set a password.. how do i set a pass? [12:06] it seems that my hardy desktop fitted with a intel 2200bg wifi won't join the network but yet fedora 9 on my laptop has no problems what could be the reason [12:06] achadwick: it worked before, works for other devices, did not update anything in the meanwhile [12:06] ai3gtmc: passwd username [12:06] hi [12:06] ai3gtmc, you can do using passwd [12:07] yeah it was done thru build-essential [12:07] i feel like i just got my first pubic hair solving that lol [12:07] so its the newest version, do you think I might need to downgrade [12:07] openstandards, the different version or configuration of the driver [12:07] hi achuu_skomara [12:07] moreau, maybe you should check in the caht/forum/list of that software [12:07] achadwick: '/sbin/ifconfig' outputs weird chars [12:07] is someone here familiar with xchat? [12:07] that worked thanks [12:08] capcom: I use it [12:08] ncorpse, how can i find out what version its using [12:08] Hello, I need help please , does it possible to use wget as a website crawler (offline browser) ? if the answer is yes , can i limit wget to download just htm or html files (without saving the pictures , movies etc.. ) ? [12:08] capcom, i use xchat why [12:08] how do i add a user to a group? [12:08] i'm use xchat, what's problem? [12:08] Kate_Mins: yes you can use it for that, read the man pages to get a grip of what options to use (there are quite many) [12:09] openstandards, you could do modinfo [12:09] ai3gtmc: adduser I think [12:09] do you know how i disable the tray icon? it has that large size that it ruins my order of the other icons down there [12:09] jandttyyfd: it should have lines for ethX or athX, and lo at least. Does it? Did you type what I suggested into a trminal (minus the `s)? [12:09] ai3gtmc: you should use adduser to add users, not useradd (the first one will prompt you for all fields, including password) [12:09] when can linux say "link is not up" when there is a physical connection between the computer and the router? also the network card works in windows... also i can ping localhost and my own IP address [12:09] seems I'm just losing my time, nobody is ready to help, right ? [12:09] I have a script called startup.sh on my desktop, how do I get it to run on startup? [12:09] EminX: I could try [12:09] EminX: What's the problem [12:10] negge: i already looked at the man pages , but i cant understand how its can be done . (i am new to linux/ubuntu) do u know where i can find examples of using wget as a crawler ? [12:10] or is there a possibility to get it smaller? [12:10] preferecens -> chatting -> alerts -> enable system tray icon [12:10] Kate_Mins: you would probably get a better answer in #wget [12:10] uncheck this [12:10] SidStudios: System -> Preferences -> Sesions, there you can add it so that it runs when you log in [12:10] Kate_Mins: I don't have any direct links, usually it's about using "wget -r http://website" plus some extra options if you want to omit pictures and stuff [12:10] Penguen, thanks, got it! [12:10] SidStudios: Ubuntu 8.04 disappointed me and many friends of mine, it lost the sound almost every session I start while I'm working on Firefox, not just in my comp. How come that Firefox is installed by default in Ubuntu and has this terrible problem. [12:11] geirha: Would I add something like "bash /home/sid/Desktop/startup.sh" as the program? [12:11] EminX: What do you mean by "lost sound"? While you were watching Youtube videos? [12:11] EminX, do you have adobe flah plugin installed ? [12:11] SidStudios: I did updates and tried a lot on forums to find a solution, is so hard and I can't fix it [12:11] SidStudios: not just in Youtube [12:11] EminX: But is the problem that it loses sound when you watch Youtube/other videos? [12:12] SidStudios: yes, either that, or add the execute permission for the script and add just "/home/sid/Desktop/startup.sh" [12:12] EminX: firefox + flash + linux is a bad combination but it has nothing to do with Firefox itself [12:12] ok guys new problem lol, this ones easy tho, i had the right video drivers installed then the autoupdate thingy (synaptic?) updated them and now im in bad res etc anyway to rollback my video drivers ? [12:12] SidStudios: in the latter case, make sure the sh-bang is correct. "#!/bin/bash" [12:12] EminX: Yeah, I've had that problem too; you have to save and quit firefox and open it again [12:12] how do I know which version of Ubuntu in terminal? [12:12] geirha: Thanks [12:12] Anyone here use SARA? My make always fails here -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/32159/ [12:12] SidStudios: all the time [12:12] jhb1608: lsb_release -a [12:12] EminX: It's because something else is using the sound device [12:12] ok thanks [12:12] Rageon: try sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [12:13] SidStudios: does that mean I can not watch youtube and listen to music in amarok in the same time, that's not fear man [12:13] negge wats that do mate? [12:13] EminX: Yeah, I guess so [12:13] powertool08, that looks scary... why does it want to run nmap ? (the port scanner???) [12:13] SidStudios: even I can not open more than one tam in Youtube [12:13] EminX: You can try opening firefox first and THEN amarok [12:13] i remember now i was using restricted drivers [12:13] Rageon: it reconfigures xorg, usually that means selecting the most appropriate display driver [12:13] but now when i clcik it it says i need to download a package [12:14] SidStudios: what if i open 2 or more tabs on Firefox or opera or whatever [12:14] ok i try it [12:14] oskude: because its a vulnerability testing program [12:14] SidStudios: the same problem [12:14] Rageon: go ahead and download them, usually that works [12:14] from where [12:14] EminX: I'm not sure but it'll be fixed when Flash 10 comes out [12:14] obscure card [12:14] Rageon: you said you click something and it asks you to download them [12:14] powertool08, hope from a trustworthy authority, good luck [12:14] SidStudios: isn't it yet [12:14] oskude: It is [12:15] SidStudios: I've tried listening to music and youtube at the same time with Flash 10, it worked the first time atleast but yesterday I think it didn't [12:15] i said click something... [12:15] negge: Damn, I don't know what to do then [12:15] i hit removed panel how do i get it back [12:15] negge: Isn't it still in beta though [12:15] powertool08, but what ever, i dont see any messages declared as error in that paste... [12:15] SidStudios: is the flash 10 out now or not [12:15] EminX: No [12:15] if a network card can ping it's local IP (192.168.x.y), yet it doesn't respond to the ethernet cable being plugged/unplugged, is there any chance that it's not a faulty cable? (because it works in windows but who knows) [12:16] http://digg.com/linux_unix/NVIDIA_Screws_Over_Linux_Users [12:16] SidStudios: I'm not sure, I'm using Intrepid alpha so practically the whole system is alpha/betaish, it might get fixed in the near future [12:16] hmm this games readme says "Do not install the game at the current time, just run it out of the source directory." [12:16] icqnumber: Please take it elsewhere, thanks. [12:16] how do I do tht [12:16] Archon: if you can ping your own IP it means your computer has contact with the router so the cable should be intact [12:17] Archon: although if pinging localhost works but pinging your IP doesn't then something might be wrong [12:17] moreau: what stage are you at? Have you taken any steps to build or "make" the game? [12:17] icqnumber: Lol. Nvidia drivers on my system are not "screwing me over". You should be grateful that they even have Linux drivers. [12:17] negge: static ip [12:17] sorry [12:17] nope, I guess thats what I need help with [12:17] last night i hit remove panel and now everything on top is gone/ how do i get it back [12:17] !resetpanels | keri [12:17] keri: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [12:18] Grateful indeed! Anyway, that discussion is OT. [12:18] icqnumber: got a link to that article that isn't on Digg? [12:18] icqnumber: I don't use digg because it screws me over [12:18] i read 'man make' and it seems make is for updating already isntalled packages/games---and this has yet to be compiled, afaik [12:18] SidStudios: So we have to wait, shame on ubuntu, I don't want but I have to switch to Windows, in this way we never gonna promote the Ubuntu, I installed it in all the computers here in my faculty and you can imagine the reactions of students all of them have seen this problem and I don't know what to say more just switch the windows xp [12:18] icqnumber, please dont paste that here [12:18] gordonjcp: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=115916 [12:18] moreau, make is a tool to make compiling software easier [12:18] EminX: Yeah, that was a bad idea.. [12:19] can i get that comman back for get my removed panel back [12:19] moreau, it is definetly not for updating already installed packages! [12:19] EminX: Flash 10 is beta software. If you want the beta, you can use it from -backports, but it is *beta*, and not one we have control over anyway (blame macrodobe) [12:19] keri_, what command [12:19] !resetpanels | keri_ [12:19] keri_: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [12:19] moreau: I suppose more generally: where did you get this game, and did you consider using the Ubuntu package manager instead to install it? Source-only distributions are not intended for gamers or newbies. [12:19] bye all [12:19] SidStudios: read the forum post about 2d performance [12:20] Flannel: How can I blame macrodobe it is working perfect in Windows [12:20] icqnumber: Please take the discussion elsewhere. #ubuntu-offtopic is a good place. [12:20] EminX: because *they* write the code. It's entirely their code. [12:20] Flannel: ok, sorry [12:20] icqnumber: Ok, and? If Gnome works perfectly and KDE is the only one with the problem, I think the problem lies in KDE not Nvidia's drivers [12:21] when i go get my termail i lose you [12:21] Flannel: Does ubuntu promoted that we have the safest and free software ( all what you need ) [12:21] its called 'freereign' and itsnot available thru add/remove, gimme a sec n ill check pkg manager [12:21] ok [12:21] guys how do i download ( linux-restircted-modules-2.6.22.15-generic )? [12:21] EminX: Its different code between windows and linux, because windows/linux are different. [12:21] EminX: gnash is pretty darn good. And getting better constantly. [12:22] Flannel: I agree, but the students need at least one safely browser, that can use just some plug-ins [12:22] Flannel: and that's minimum that Ubuntu should offer to them [12:22] EminX, just remove adobe flash plugin and continue ;) [12:22] EminX: I don't really follow what you're getting at. But this is turning into a discussion. One that I would love to have with you in #ubuntu-offtopic, but not here. [12:23] Flannel: ok [12:23] and its not in synaptic either, i got it from sourceforge [12:23] ncorpse, i've done modinfo ipw2200 and both the same version [12:24] hey all [12:24] moreau, in that case, you definetly should contact the makers of that software, or their forum/chat/list, theres probably someone who compiled it under ubuntu [12:24] Does Kubuntu require less of your ardware than Ubuntu? [12:24] damn ok [12:24] moreau: what's the problem, the program won't compile? [12:25] how do I get the system to recognise my built-in microphone, web-cam and wireless mouse? [12:25] and I dont know how XD [12:25] how to i add a user to the sudoers? [12:25] AndyS53: lspci [12:25] K_4U: no the some or more, look at xubuntu or for even less use fluxbox [12:25] ai3gtmc: add them to the admin group [12:25] moreau: freereign looks kinds basic right now. lincity-ng might be a better bet if all you want to do is play a game :) But if you want to hack on the code directly, there may be a freereign-specific channel somewhere or a support mailing list that can help you. [12:25] AndyS53: you may need some drivers [12:25] rw: What is fluxbox? [12:25] Flannel,I did but still won't let me sudo [12:25] ai3gtmc: does 'groups' show you're in the admin group? [12:25] K-4U: a window manager [12:25] nah just tryin to play it, what lincity-ng like? [12:26] moreau: extract the archive you downloaded somewhere in your homedir, open terminal and change to that directory, then run ./configure && make [12:26] Flannel,nope [12:26] how do I add a user? [12:26] erUSUL: I have a laptop, Pentium 2, 255 Mhz, 128 MB Mem.. Ubuntu 7.10 runs on it.. but that says it all :p [12:26] K-4U: you can run fluxbox on top of your linux system. Its a lighter faster desktop environment [12:26] I thought I did add already... [12:26] moreau: the site said don't try installing, that means just leave the "make install" command out (that would be next) [12:26] /.configure tells me 'no such file or direcotry' [12:26] moreau: ./configure [12:27] http://lincity-ng.berlios.de/wiki/index.php/Main_Page - looks a bit isometric, but quite pretty. I've not played it myself.

What should I do? :( [14:07] <_Spekkio_> if I click on the update manager, it says its fully up to date, but I know for a fact the installing wasnt done, it might just assume its done because everything was downloaded [14:07] MachinTrucChose: i wonder why you didn't do it the ubuntu way ( https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP ) - anyway, it's probably somewhere in /opt, try "find /opt | grep proftp" [14:07] cberlo: in type put application , in path type nautilus /media/sda5/Music (or whatever ) [14:07] open up a terminal [14:07] _Spekkio_, you can make sure everything is done. sudo aptitude install -f [14:07] and type sudo apt-get upgrade [14:07] _Spekkio_ peronaly if you just got done installing ubuntu i'd just reinstall then you know it's stable and safe [14:07] I have a problem [14:07] cberlo: :-) [14:08] TireDWolf: I already located a folder called proftpd in the /opt/lampp, but there is no binary, only proftpd.conf. === VERA_AN is now known as soccer_boy [14:08] Sylphid, jurk [14:08] MachinTrucChose: try: locate proftpd [14:08] murlidhar: Yeah, that would work, but that's like making a shortcut in Windoze that says "explorer.exe c:\music" [14:08] last time my updates messed up linux was really screwy [14:08] in the grub menu.list is so necessary to put the argument [14:08] MachinTrucChose: try perhaps "lsof | grep proftp" [14:08] murlidhar: There HAS to be an idiot-proof way! :) [14:08] cberlo: exactly [14:08] root=UUID=e251ff72-809b-4699-a4e6-56eb2abc7294 [14:08] ? [14:08] <_Spekkio_> its a lot of downloading to get the updates, but I'll try what you've said [14:08] <_Spekkio_> thanks [14:08] Which is not to imply that Newbs are idiots, mind you... [14:09] <_Spekkio_> if all goes bad I'll just reinstall unfortunately [14:09] hello [14:09] Anyway, gotta run. I think I'll toss this in to the GNOME folks and Canonical and see what they're thoughts are. [14:09] MachinTrucChose: or, "ls -l /proc/PID/cwd". that gives you the current directory for the proftpd process, which may or may not be the directory where the executable is [14:09] has anyone here tried the dell bios update, restarted the computer, gotten colored lines, a reboot and no bios updated? === VERA_AN is now known as co_soccer [14:09] <[globa|fin]> seen krazy-h?

It was in /opt/lampp/sbin/proftpd. Thanks. [14:10] MachinTrucChose: which one? [14:10] I am having issues with my webcam. I can't seem to get any software to use it.

But if I add a '-m32' switch, I get loads of error messages about the gtkmm library [14:25] Sylphid|work, it doesnt seem like that package exist? [14:25] see http://paste.ubuntu.com/32199/ for the error messages g++ gives me [14:25] xirov, one sec [14:25] Hello. [14:25] unpo: ~/.bash_profile was the last file i didnt try, because it didnt exist. Anyway, putting umask 002 in it didnt help, [14:25] homy: you need the 32bit version of the library installed too before you compile [14:25] that worked thanks allot i guess i can just use terminal to acess [14:26] SNuxoll: I tried aptitude search gtkmm | grep 32, but it didn't show me any suitable package? [14:26] pici im almost there, ive copied ure sources.list, now how do i get the file mate? [14:26] hi there!

But the permissions of newly created folders are wrong: 755, they should be 775 as i set umask to 002. [14:28] homy: dunno....

[14:29] mahesh, the best would be w32codecs from !medibuntu [14:29] on windows in order making the radio I used sam broadcaster. now on ubuntu what I can use? [14:29] xirov, you may need to yes [14:29] !w32codecs | mahesh [14:29] mahesh: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [14:29] I get this error while trying to install..

[14:31] mahesh, unop is a cmd lord. wouldn't care much about little cases, go to www.medibuntu.com instead [14:31] cr0w i have used sma broadcaster before cr0w you might beable to run sam broadcaster on linux if you use wine hq [14:31] echome, cmd lord? [14:31] I forgot to umount a drive before unplugging it (usb enclosure), and now I can't umount it (it says 'device busy') and df still reports it being mounted there... how can I fix this? [14:31] unop, lord of command line, i guess [14:31] echome:: ok [14:32] echome, heh. not really [14:32] cr0w: I would try going to Applications -> Add/Remove... then search for radio and see if any of those applications can do what you need [14:32] vlet can you plug it back in and try to unmount [14:32] Are there packages for hardy 64bit that give me the 32bit gtkmm headers needed to compile for 32bit platform?

All of my current diskspace is used up, is there a way to partition an existing partition? [14:36] SNuxoll: Well? Did you find a tutorial for me? :( [14:36] cdoublejj yes [14:36] does ubuntu have a recovery mode invokable e.g. when the system's root partition fills up and writes become impossible? [14:36] schola, when you open up a new terminal. what is the umask reported? [14:37] with ssh, if my key fails it falls back on passworded login, can I disable that? [14:37] Sylphid|work, you here? [14:37] I have 1 computer with 2 IP addresses for 1 interface... (same physical connection, 1 "REAL" ip and one "virtual"). when I tracert from one machine to the other, sometimes it times out on the "real" ip, but never on the virtual (secondary) ip... anyone know what could be the reason/ [14:37] this problem makes me leave to kde. Noone any idea how to solve this? I set umask to 002 in almost every file but Gnome creates new folders with permission 755 . [14:37] erikg, yes [14:37] where can i find the Berkeley DB with 1.85 [14:37] unop: how does it work? [14:37] or where can i get that package? [14:37] !who | schola [14:37] schola: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [14:37] any idea how to resize my main partition using gparted? I need to unmount it, but I'll be using it when I use gparted [14:38] khoda: use a livecd with gparted [14:38] Hi -- I'm looking for a recommendation for a good WYSIWYG Latex editor for Ubuntu to help me with my math papers. What are others using? [14:38] powertool08: I'm trying to setup a partition so I don't need to burn the livecd. I'm just gonna run it off my harddrive [14:38] erikg, you can choose the single user/recovery mode from the grub screen [14:38] schola, what is the umask reported to you when you start a new terminal? [14:38] how do i permanetly set the terminal window size? [14:39] hi good day to all, can i ask if where can i get the package Berkeley DB with 1.85 [14:39] khoda: if you can't unmount the partition because you need it to boot, the only option is another separate install or a livecd [14:39] unop: i'm asking a technical question, not an interface question. perhaps #ubuntu-devel? [14:40] erikg, errm, no, it's a general support question -- and is there something that you don't follow? [14:40] in the terminal it say umask 0002 [14:40] unop: in the terminal it say umask 0002 [14:40] Sylphid|work, you here? [14:41] schola, so, currently you have set the umask you want in ~/.bash_profile? have you logged out and logged back in since? [14:41] erikg, yeah #ubuntu-devel is for you [14:41] but iirc they generate a ram disk and write logs to that [14:41] but not sure [14:43] unop: i have set it in /etc/profile /etc/bash.bashrc /etc/gdm/Xsession /etc/gdm/PreSession /etc/gdm/PostSession ~/.gnomerc and i think in some other files to. I read almost for one day and cannot find a solution. [14:43] I'm trying to create a fifth partition using gparted, so I can boot from the livecd from my harddrive. gparted said that I can't have more than 4 primary partitions. what is my alternative? it says something about making a partition within a partition? [14:43] Voltaplein: Is there really such a thing as a wysiwyg editor for LaTeX? Anyway, openoffice math has a wysiwyg editor for making mathematical equations, not sure if it will generate tex-code though [14:44] unop: Thanks for helping :) [14:44] geirha: yes, there is [14:44] khoda: you need to make a logical partition, then you can have several partitions within that one, so its like one partition container of 100 gb, and then partitions of varying sizes adding up to 100 gb inside it [14:45] geirha: LyX [14:45] geirha: it's a Qt app and I don't use it myself, used to writing plain LaTeX in gedit, but I heard it's nice [14:46] quick request.. I have a eee pc 901. I need the atl1e.ko.. does anyone have it so I can bypass the tidiouus work of downloading all the build essential stuff and built it manually? [14:46] what is a logical partion is it diffrent than a partion [14:46] schola, well, that still doesn't answer the question of you logging out and logging back in after making the changes -- if you make changes to one of ~/.profile, ~/.bash_profile or /etc/profile - and want those changes replicated into the GUI, you need to log back in, otherwise the changes are insignificant [14:47] matricks, what is so tedious about sudo apt-get install build-essential === chaky_ is now known as chaky [14:47] IdleOne: because I don [14:47] damn it [14:47] build-essntial is for compiling stuff right? [14:47] IdleOne: because I don't have any network [14:47] IdleOne: but oh.. is it on the iso? [14:47] SNuxoll: Cool. I'll give lyx a try later then. I'm very qurious to how such an editor can look like. I'm used to writing it in vim. [14:47] cdoublejj: yeah [14:48] matricks, yes it should be [14:48] IdleOne: oh.. then its much easier then :) [14:48] geirha: well, it's not like OpenOffice, it's very much in the spirit of LaTeX [14:48] geirha: it focuses on structure, not prettiness [14:49] SNuxoll, what are you talking about? [14:49] geirha: from my small use with it I've found it very nice :) [14:49] How do you use wireless in ubuntu?

[15:41] I wish they would fix pulseaudio... [15:42] okay i'm having an issue... i'm trying to remove a bunch of kde stuff using regex but it is saying Note, Selecting package... but it won't uninstall [15:42] i'm using "sudo apt-get remove .*-kde [15:42] BlearyBram: BlearyBram may be player on link is better...

That's why I thought it was something else. [15:47] ok [15:47] ugh. [15:47] xirov, do you get anything from iwconfig [15:48] Scalder: Yes, it's the latest version of Adobe native Flash player for Linux. [15:48] not necessarily for Ubuntu, but Synpatic has a package for it. [15:48] nixnoob, [15:48] i got it to crash [15:48] Sake: Yes. Under places, go to "connect to server" or google: "mount smb share ubuntu" [15:48] Rageon: and what was the output [15:48] Segmentation fault 9core dumped) [15:48] ( [15:49] it dumped the core bro, that cant be goods [15:49] whoops [15:49] anyone tell me pls? can any performance increasing that enable hardware accelerator option at the flashplayer on the firefox?

[15:49] Rageon: thats not what it means [15:49] oh :< [15:49] yer im jokin :F [15:50] coorior, have you googled with your laptop model and opengl (or something) ? [15:50] Rageon: are you using the newest version? where did you get it from the repos? [15:50] yea the repos [15:50] hm [15:50] 2.20.1 [15:51] is the version im using [15:51] Hi. Is it possible to do a live-installation of ubuntu? [15:51] xirov, can you pastebin your /var/log/dmesg === kompi09 is now known as anny_ [15:51] Rageon: what did you do to get it to crash? [15:52] oskude : as i said i did and everything is outdated . and i'm not so very good with terminal also . [15:52] had a embedded flash object playing and then clicked a page link while the movie was in mid play [15:52] had to try to crash it that last time lol [15:52] coorior, do you atleast know if ati/amd is still delivering drivers for that chip ? [15:52] Rageon: which version of flash? also from repos? [15:52] yer dude === Mabus is now known as [Mabus] [15:52] nonfree latest [15:53] oskude : when i was trying to enable it last time , my comp wouldn't even start >> so i just reinstalled it again [15:53] shockwave r124 [15:53] An application I'm trying to run immediately terminates with the message "Illegal instruction" (nothing more) Is there any smart command for getting a stack trace of the program as it launches? [15:53] Rageon: I got that one as well. [15:53] oskude : no [15:53] Sylphid|work, ehm? .. like "what's in the folder" or? [15:53] Rageon: what version of ubuntu are you on? Hardy? [15:53] I would very much like to know which instruction it terminates on (probably a missing library) [15:53] buggered if it works for me in ff3 ff2 or ff3previews tho.. [15:53] gutsy.. [15:54] 32bitgusty [15:54] xirov, /var/log/dmesg is a log file....i would like you to paste the contents of that file to http://paste.ubuntu.com [15:54] oskude : no [15:54] Rageon: well theres ur problem, its an old version of epiphany , try to do this, start epiphany and goto edit > personal data and click properties [15:54] I'm on 32bit Hardy.

[15:55] Sylphid|work, http://paste.ubuntu.com/32232/ [15:55] coorior, well, i stopped using ati years ago, and now that i started developing (opengl) i will NEVER buy a closed source graphics chip/card.

Any idea what I could be doing wrong? [15:56] can gdb (GNU Debugger) be used with programs compiled without debugging symbols? [15:57] Wyvern| Sure it can [15:57] BlearyBram: Epiphany uses the "Gecko" rendering engine and so is comparable to recent versions firefox in terms of rendering. I find it really useful as one of a number of different brwosers when working as a develoepr. [15:57] Rageon: i think i may have found your problem [15:57] bytecode: funny though that it wasn't bundled with Ubuntu. [15:57] nixnoob: what? [15:58] Wyvern|: yeah, though its output will be somewhat less helpful [15:58] I need some kind of stack trace [15:58] Rageon: see if you have a file /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so [15:58] xirov, looks like this is the problem [ 35.061892] wifi%d: unable to attach hardware: 'Hardware revision not supported' (HAL status 13) [15:58] I know that flash sometimes save some application files in Windows, in a hidden folder.. Does it do the same in linux? and in that case, where is that folder? [15:58] all this application gives is "Illegal instruction". Can I use gdb to get any clue about which symbols it is attempting to use? [15:58] xirov, looking for more info [15:58] Sylphid|work, okay O.o === icqnumber__ is now known as icqnumber [15:59] BlearyBram: was it not? I've been "upgrading" from version to version of ubuntu for a long time so I'm no longer familiar with the "default" application installation set.

Lately I discovered this led is also a button :oP so no matter if the light is ON, I've got to push that button once to wake-up the wifi chip and then "modprobe ath_pci" The problem was also that the key wasn't mapped so I got to use "setkeycodes" to make it known [16:07] , and now I'm trying to automatize the procedure using the "hotkeys" daemon.

[17:27] RainyLithuanian: Then you need to figure out which libraries it's using and then figure out if there is 64-bit support for those libraries [17:27] Yondering: works fine, like using a usb stick to boot [17:27] so... everyone check their clock (if you have additional locations) and check if its displaying in 12/24 hour mode :D [17:28] Gnea: I tried changing it in the smb.conf, but I don't think it's working [17:28] ok, thanks xnv [17:28] (even if 1/3rd of the channel responds thats more than enough lol) [17:28] m0u5e: mine seems fine [17:28] m0u5e: 12hour [17:28] ejer if you keep looking at it, does it change? [17:28] I had to reformat my 7.04 partition and then installed 8.04 on a multiboot system. Now it doesn't boot: I get a Kernal Panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs in unknown-block(0,0). This is odd because the fs is on hd1,1 and it says so in menu.lst. Also, /dev is devoid of the harddisks that are there. Anyone? Please? [17:28] m0u5e: no [17:28] m0u5e: yes time continues moving if your looking ro not [17:28] travelhun: more infor about partition layout needed [17:28] Is it possible to configure autoreply messages in evolution?

[17:29] m0u5e: nope 12 and been that way for years [17:29] gnomefreak: argh [17:29] does anyone know where the gnome-panel clock configuration files are :X [17:29] gnomefreak: wait this is under locations right? not just looking at the clock without clicking?

Is it possible to get any higher res. then 800x600? (it's the highest option there). [17:30] thank you im checking now [17:31] Hi guys, i've got a problem with my wireless connection. I've got a wireless router and a hd attached on it (it's running linux) and i've got some dix movies stored there. I occasionally want to watch them but the wireless connection doesn't seem to be stable at all. When first time connection is established download speed from the hd attached to the router is max 30kbytes/s. If i open a terminal and do it [17:31] speeds up (>1Mbytes/s) but that does not keep long as it goes back to 30kbytes/s after 10-15minutes. My wireless card is a rt2560 thus supported natively by rt2500pci module. Any ideas what's wrong??? [17:31] duck1123: what did you using to change smb.conf with? a text editor? [17:31] gnomefreak: but if no one in here knows it's more sensible to go to #gnome than freak out [17:31] travelhun: file -s /dev/sdb2 [17:31] Gillpy_: i didnt say i didnt know ;) [17:31] Gnea: gedit and emacs [17:31] Sorry to submit so much text...

[17:32] naftilos76: g is faster than b as long as your card supports it [17:33] all hw is g [17:33] it's already g [17:33] naftilos76: 11M/s is b 54M/s is g [17:33] router i mean [17:33] Anyone here had any success with Guildwars on Ubuntu [17:33] gnomefreak: i dont see it under there :( [17:33] SidStudios: appdb.winehq.org [17:33] gnomefreak: (as i am typing this, nautilus decided to randomly restart) [17:34] Hello, I have the following error while compiling a software "error: GNU M4 is needed", anything I can do to solve this ? gm4 is not found in package search [17:34] m0u5e: that isnt related [17:34] netcrash: try just m4 [17:34] wols: "file -s /dev/sdb2" returns "/dev/sdb2: writable, no read permission" when I look from the live cd, or should I chroot is before?

[17:38] naftilos76: considering you could theoretically get 54Mb/s, yes ;) [17:38] naftilos76: on an internal network yes [17:39] m0u5e: most likley its gonna be /etc/gconf/.....

[17:57] for other people wanting a little more info: change 'when firefox starts' from 'show my home page' to 'show my windows and tabs from last time' [17:57] cashngo: essentially, you have to follow the instructions for dialup now, except that you substitute your device name (try out which one). [17:57] !dialup > cashngo [17:57] cashngo, please see my private message [17:57] Gillpy_: i just want to pronounce my love to the beautiful ladies out there, sometimes you gotta do it on rooftops while people are sleeping you know. but i hear you, you guys are on full patrol today, i'll leave my loves to the im boxess [17:58] cashngo: it's also worth stfw, e.g. http://my.opera.com/owais_lone/blog/how-to-connect-gprs-on-ubuntu [17:58] hardware acceleration is not working on my system (i think) ... this is what i get when i run glxinfo: http://www.pastebin.ca/1087345 ... can anyone point me to some docs to fix this? [17:58] cashngo: (searching the fine web) [17:58] is there any such utility that provides diff functionality between a local file and a file on a remote serve (accessible via ssh) ? I need to check that a 30 GB directory tree is identical on two different servers, and I dont know which copy to trust (in case they're not identical) ... so just rsync'ing the directory might not be the answer [17:58] I've been having trouble with firefox. It takes upwards of 10 seconds to load a page, usually getting stuck on "looking up blah.com..." for most of the time. I've already disabled ipv6 in about:config and prevented the ipv6 module from being loaded. What else can I try to get firefox back up to speed? [17:59] mkrufky: maybe rsync with " -n, --dry-run show what would have been transferred" [17:59] voidmage: is this a recent problem or does it happen occassionally? [17:59] soundray: but why i cant use networkmanager? it is supposed to support gprs? [17:59] voidmage: use a better dns server [17:59] kitche: like what? [18:00] voidmage: could try opendns.org [18:00] I tried opendns, didn't like how failed dns requests redirected to yahoo search [18:00] voidmage: could also use a caching nameserver === allquixotic is now known as allquixotic_borg [18:00] arvind_khadri: If the problem is that accessing the archive failes due to busy severs - is that the only possible reason? [18:00] cashngo: you can try connecting with network manager. Use the 'Dialup Connections' entry you get when you left click on nm-applet [18:00] voidmage: your isp is probably burping [18:00] arvind_khadri: Am I just being impatient? :) [18:00] Ok i know the computer im trying to access has like 15 shared folders but when accessed i cant see anything. its windows. I have samba installed at least sudo apt-get install smbfs [18:01] mkrufky: well can't you just copy the file from the remote server to the local machine? [18:01] there are a ldap server working perfectly with Apache 2... and now I wanna authenticate samba users on ldap, how can I do it? [18:01] nmnm [18:01] abbazabba: yeah, probably [18:01] where do they hire police around here? Amish Country? [18:01] Tim, sometimes the repo's hang up a lot ... so just hang on and see... [18:01] the dns server up and died last night [18:01] every "tutorial" I found on net explain how make a full setup of ldap+samba, not only to authenticate samba on ldap [18:01] but the problem's been going on for a week now [18:01] kevinO: excuse me?

"grep ext /dev/sdb2" returns "accordance in binary file /dev/sdb" [18:03] hardhatpat: sorry https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI [18:03] kevinO: you were warned already about your language [18:03] TiredWolf: i see it [18:03] gnomefreak, my language? [18:03] i said nothing out of line [18:03] ejer, :) [18:03] kevinO: yes your homo comment [18:03] gnomefreak, yes and i was already booted for it [18:03] ejer, i will come back if i have q'1 [18:03] *q's [18:03] kevinO: we were nice enough to giv eyou another chance so now i ask you to stop [18:04] gnomefreak, i have dome nothing wrong [18:04] except maybe misspell a few words [18:04] this is not the right channel for this discussion i believe. [18:04] then dont discuss it [18:04] he is a troll just ban him [18:04] kevinO: your offtopic in this channel [18:04] kevinO: posting offtopic is wrong [18:04] !ot [18:04] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [18:04] [Q] I have installed windows in a partition on my hard drive, and it has set it self as boot, How can I revert to grub being boot? [18:05] !grub > Solexious [18:05] Solexious, please see my private message [18:05] kevinO: you might want to read the topic before speaking [18:05] * arvind_khadri senses a riot [18:05] how is !ot supporting development though? sorry inconsistencies have to be pointed out. [18:05] i know what this channel is for, i come here all the time and help. Seems today every one has a grudge against me [18:05] ps0kj [18:05] abbazabba: ask in -ot :) [18:05] TiredWolf: hehe [18:05] i dont like the way text looks, what can I do about it? [18:06] it's waaaaay too anti-aliased [18:06] scrutr: which text [18:06] kevinO, calm down :) the best thing to do now is close :) [18:06] scrutr: CRT or LCD? [18:06] LCD [18:06] and gnomefreak i called someone a homo who called himself cockmaster. And how does your repeating what i said make it any better than what i did [18:06] scrutr: perhaps it's set up for CRT-style antialiasing [18:06] abbazabba: yeah, it's the dns server [18:06] damn him [18:07] tried a different one and it works [18:07] scrutr: I have a nice fonts.conf file, makes it looks like Windows 2000, even a little better [18:07] i think that might have been uncalled for. [18:07] scrutr: /msg you and paste it? [18:07] voidmage: so it was the isp? [18:07] scrutr: i'm using KDE so i'm not sure how you can set that in GNOME, but it'll surely be in the font preferences. there are various methods for anti-aliasing, choose the sub-pixel one, and perhaps also play with hinting [18:07] abbazabba: thats not your place to comment and discuss this channel. You've been removed from the channel once and warned multiple times - this channel is for ubuntu support only [18:08] soundray: thanks for the heads up [18:08] ikonia: i'm well aware, i'm just saying, while helping, that that last one was uncalled for. i'm going back to helping people how i could so lay off that trigger finger ;D [18:08] i think it might be because its too big... [18:08] gnomefreak: np [18:08] How do I install the latest 2.4.0 intel video driver? [18:08] some known how authenticate samba using ldap? [18:08] zzzz [18:09] can anyone go private with me for a couple of minutes [18:09] i got one simple q and one hard q [18:09] syndr0: check your messages baby [18:09] Quentusrex: why do you want that? [18:09] how should I disable xserver? [18:09] in order to install nvidia drivers [18:09] syndr0: have you tried asking them here already? [18:09] soundray, because it has better hdmi video+audio handling [18:10] btw, it's worth mentioning that im running ubuntu in a virtual machine [18:10] RainyLithuanian: you dont disable X to install them [18:10] RainyLithuanian: install them from repos [18:10] would that have anything to do with it? [18:10] how? [18:10] Hey, I can't seem to find an app to play MPEG2 video streams (.MOD files) anyone got something I should check out? [18:10] RainyLithuanian: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-whatever one for your card [18:10] rotzak: check VLC [18:10] RainyLithuanian: what card and what ubuntu version [18:10] does anyone happen to have a 64bit hardy machine, willing to build a package? [18:10] like for me is 9800GTX and Ubuntu 8.041 [18:11] RainyLithuanian: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new [18:11] Quentusrex: generally, ubuntu wouldn't upgrade a package like that until it's well and truly tested, meaning that in this case it will probably be in intrepid. Do check the backports and proposed repositories, though [18:11] !backports > Quentusrex [18:11] Quentusrex, please see my private message [18:11] tiredwolf i hate having to read through all this shtuff.. ty tho [18:11] RainyLithuanian: tha command will do it as long as you have the repos enabled [18:11] ok, thanks:) [18:11] eikke: i suggest trying to ask in #ubuntu-offtopic (not necessarily because it's offtopic, just the sort of thing that might have better chances there) [18:11] * gnomefreak not on hardy so i cant check what repo [18:11] TiredWolf: ty [18:12] LoL, a force-leave. Never seen that before. [18:12] Hi all. I get a Kernel Panic when booting because on my new hardy installation, the harddisks (sda, sdb) are missing completely from /dev. Is there some way to create these files? [18:13] Well.. not a question about ubuntu itself, but about Xchat, how do i do /list in a seperate window? [18:13] soundray, I'm not sure which package the driver would be under. [18:14] how do i get rid of the key ring stuff, i am trying to get wireless to connect on login to x [18:14] but it always asks for password for keyring [18:14] Illuzionz: you might be better off in #xchat if nopone answers you here [18:14] oki thnx gnomefreak [18:14] s/nopone/noone [18:15] it's worst in firefox...when i start typing an address and then the box covers half my screen with this large, over-smoothed text [18:15] makes my eyes hurt... [18:15] * Gillpy_ pokes scrutr's eyeballs [18:15] i have it on subpixel smoothing [18:17] did anyone of you ever have the problem, that you had sound but no voice with an .mp4 file? [18:17] i put in on monochrome and firefox is still doing smoothing [18:17] so this must be firefox's fault.... === abadinalbany_ is now known as abadinalbany [18:18] anyone had any luck with get a microdia webcam to work???!!!! [18:19] TiredWolf: sorry for the delay -- i was away for a moment..... copying the file over isnt an option because i dont have an additional 30 GB free on either machine :-/ .... if they're not identical, i wont know which one is the correct one [18:19] karan:? [18:19] i *think* they're identical, i just want to confirm [18:19] karan:? [18:19] maybe there is a way to rsync without writing [18:19] mkrufky: i meant "file" as in the directory listing [18:20] karan:? [18:20] * mkrufky reading rsync man page now [18:20] mkrufky: if you are unsure that the *files* are identical (even if they're the same size, and all), you might add an MD5 to that directory listing, i suppose [18:20] i just installed xubuntu 8.04 on a P1-233, and on reboot, it can't find the hdd - dmesg says "module alim15x3: unknown relocation: 10" [18:21] i remember when i was on 7.10 my partitions would auto mount.. but now that i'm on 8.04, i have to mount them myself? how would i go about auto mounting from the start? [18:21] Hi all. I get a Kernel Panic when booting because on my new hardy installation, the harddisks (sda, sdb) are missing completely from /dev. Is there some way to create these files? Help would be greatly appreciated. [18:21] mkrufky: although, if all files are there and exactly the same size (as provided by a directory listing), it's quite likely that everything is the same. still, md5sum and find are your friends [18:21] TiredWolf: md5 -- thats the answer... thanks... [18:21] im brainless today :-) [18:21] mkrufky: actually, just use "md5deep" [18:21] awesome! [18:21] :-D [18:22] mkrufky, I am brainless every day, don't feel bad. [18:22] Sanctusorium: ;-) [18:23] travelhun: The devices are made each boot by the udev subsystem. [18:24] hi [18:24] iron: howdy [18:24] anybody can help me to tag my sourcecode to gpl-licenze [18:24] hi abbazabba [18:24] travelhun: The likely suspect here is that the SATA or IDE controller to which the drives are attached is not known to ubuntu and it cannot load a driver for it [18:25] genii: Okay. I don't really know my way around the udev subsystem, what do I do about it? [18:25] Does anyone know how I can pipe a detached screen's standard output to a file? [18:25] cause i saw soucecode with information about licence on top in *.c-files [18:26] hey, when I upload a file via a webapp using the default ubuntu apache2 setup, who does the file belong to and why can't I rename that file via my webapp? [18:26] iron: yes you just add that to the source files [18:26] dboss: what are you trying t accomplish [18:27] or rather, is there a way to make apache save files to my username/group instead of www-data? [18:27] rwycuff: I'm trying to run a command in a detached screen that outputs to stdout, but I need to save the output to a file [18:27] bdoss: do the redirection in the screen session [18:27] kitche: where can i find such header information ? [18:27] I need to know how to properly use make... I tried looking at "man make" but it didn't help... [18:27] iron: in the gpl license and the OSI list [18:27] Sake:it belongs to www-data and you would have to change chown on the dir it saves to [18:27] I'm confused...how the hell do you use VLC? I can hear the audio playing for my video but I don't see any images when I type vlc Movie.mpg [18:27] kitche: thx i am trying google [18:27] ejer: I've read the manpage several times, but I didn't see anything like that [18:28] bdoss: by detached screen are you reffering to the one that are from the app screen [18:28] rwycuff: Yes [18:28] travelhun: The usual quick fix for this is to set in the BIOS of the computer that all SATA drives are to be seen as IDE. This is usually some option like IDE Compatability Mode or similar. The best solution is to discover what driver the SATA controller needs and to load it as a module so the drives get seen properly. [18:28] bdoss: yourcommand > output.txt while in screen, then close screen session... maybe i am misunderstanding [18:28] rotzak: do you have all codecs installed [18:28] rwycuff, Yea, I just saw that. Is there a way to make apache save the files to MY username/group instead? [18:28] i'm writing a support system for linux administration maybe its also usefull for ubuntu [18:28] I think so...maybe I am missing something though in the VLC isntall [18:29] it makes developping my application a lot easier [18:29] genii: Okay, that's possible. But before I installed hardy (which never worked so far, 7.04 worked fine on that sys. [18:29] ejer: That may work... the problem is if I run something along the lines of screen python loop.py > output, then it saves the output of creating the screen rather than the python script [18:29] ooh, I installed it without X support [18:29] bdoss: screen; then do your redirection once in screen session [18:29] not as one command bdoss [18:30] I need to know how to properly use make... I tried looking at "man make" but it didn't help... Can anyone help me? I tried ndiswrapper in the past (Now I don't need it) but right now I need to Make Apache 2.2.9 [18:30] travelhun: Try perhaps the alternate CD. It has some more drivers than the regular livecd one. [18:30] SAke:one of two things can wither do chown -R user:group on your appache root or setup virtual host in apache and then point to different dir and then run app there with that dir set to your group [18:30] ejer: Is there any way to do it as one command? e.g. as part of a bash script [18:30] hello [18:30] genii: Good hint, I will try that. Thank you very much! [18:30] bdoss: have you seen nohup ? [18:30] yo [18:30] travelhun: np [18:30] you all use ubuntu? [18:31] I need help using "make" in the terminal for Apache [18:31] ejer: havn't used it before [18:31] Zyph3r: most of us [18:31] Zyph3r: this channel is for support -- no surveys please [18:31] rwycuff, my httproot in /etc/apache2/sites-available/ is set to a folder that's owned by me, but files are still saved as belonging to www-data [18:31] s33nagain, apache 2.2.8 is in the repositories, which is a much better and safer option. do you REALLY need 2.2.9? [18:31] bdoss: man nohup ... prolly what you want [18:31] anybody know which display driver to use in 7.04 for an intel 82945G chipset? [18:31] ejer: Ok, I'll check it out -- thanks for the help [18:31] jebem vam majku [18:31] ubuntu smece ipo [18:31] ubuntu garbage [18:31] !hr | Zyph3r [18:31] Zyph3r: Odgovarajuci kanal za Hrvatski jezik je #ubuntu-hr, molimo Vas da se pridruzite tom kanalu ukoliko trebate pomoc za Ubuntu, hvala.

[18:33] frenchmanofdeath: the i915 seems to be what mine uses [18:33] s33nagain: sudo apt-get install apache2 [18:33] really thanks a ton [18:33] s33nagain, in Ubuntu, you generally should NOT "download" things. things are found in the repositories, and are compiled and optimized for Ubuntu, and receive regular security updates. [18:33] !software > s33nagain [18:33] s33nagain, please see my private message [18:33] s33nagain: type "sudo apt-get install apache2" to get Apache 2.2.8 installed and running automatically. [18:34] rwycuff, ALL folders in that dir are owned by me, but when I mkdir, or move a file via php, the dirs are created as belonging to www-data [18:34] Thanks TriedWolf! And whoever ubottu is! [18:34] lol [18:34] hi [18:35] There are some messages appearing in message kern.log syslog that I don't understand - would anyone be able to take a quick peek at it? http://www.pastebin.ca/1087362 === kolja is now known as imbehind [18:35] i915 seems to only allow 640x480...any other suggestions for an intel 82945G? [18:36] What package contains the xf86-video-intel driver? [18:36] Sake:that could be possiby because apache is running as that group [18:36] frenchmanofdeath: configure your screen with 'gksudo displayconfig-gtk' [18:36] Sorry, TriedWolf... what was the command again? [18:36] Hi! I can not resize my ext3 partition in gparted from the livecd, what could the reason be? [18:37] Quentusrex: are you sure you want an Xfree rather than Xorg driver? [18:37] s33nagain, as a side note, typing the first few letters of my tickname (which is TiredWolf, not TriedWolf) and then hitting TAB will get it auto-completed for you, which is handy. [18:37] Quentusrex: xserver-xorg-video-intel [18:37] Sake, php is invoked by apache2 which runs as the user www-data .. so any files created by apache or php will be owned by www-data [18:37] s33nagain: the command is "sudo apt-get install apache2". you might want to stay on the channel, this time, for any further assistance [18:37] askand: maybe it's mounted [18:37] Hey, I just switched to Ubuntu and my Mic is not working, anyone able to help me out?? [18:37] unop, Is it wise to have apache running as me? [18:37] TiredWolf: wow thanks [18:37] Sake, not you, it runs as www-data [18:37] soundray: nope [18:37] Sake:no its not wise nor safe [18:37] TiredWolf: ahhh, I see. [18:37] NPG: Is this some Asus/Intel HDA soundcard? [18:38] I have a DVD that auto mounts with no user permissions. I'm not able to mount it manually, although I've tried several options. http://paste.ubuntu.com/32283/ shows the errors I get. Can anyone help me please? [18:38] Sake, if you want any users to share directories with apache. make yourself a member of the www-data group and ensure that group has access over the directories in question. [18:38] so how do I solve this? I guess my www folder should be owned by www-data instead of me? and I should add myself to the www-data group? [18:38] TiredWolf: Thanks, and I will stay on! [18:38] genii: I have a Dell Laptop [18:38] the mic comes integrated with the laptop [18:38] Sake, s/make yourself/make those users/ [18:39] Sake, that would be the right way to do this, yes [18:39] NPG: I'll take it that means you don't know what soundcard then. What says result of command from in Terminal: lspci|grep Audio [18:39] askand: and you've started it with gksudo? [18:39] anyone know how to get the right packages for Ubuntu that allow one to automatically make control points in hugin? ptstitcher? some alternate autopano tool? [18:39] yea not sure [18:39] s33nagain: you can also install it using the "Synaptic" application in your menu (not Add/Remove Programs, though, as that will only offer a selection of graphical applications), if you're not a fan of the command line. [18:39] aah, I see. Thanks! [18:39] problem: when applications maximize, panel size is not included so e.g. vim status line is hidden (different problem if the pane is up top). Any thoughts? [18:39] Sake, and revert the ownership of the directories back to www-data too [18:40] peppo: i thought that autopano-sift (which is a dependency of hugin) did that? [18:40] Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01) [18:40] unop, Now.. if I want my www folder to be within my home directory, is that bad?

MUAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHA [18:41] soundray: yep, i can do things with the free space but I can not make my ext3 use the free space [18:41] you cant ban me [18:41] Sake, ~/www must be owned by the group www-data though [18:41] TiredWolf: I don't mind the command line...

There are a lot! [18:53] s33nagain: if you want a LAMP stack, do sudo tasksel install lamp [18:53] rwycuff, I'm just a little user, behind an ADSL connection. There isn't any service in my computer, just a Apache listening 8080 [18:53] I also have ubundu installed on a secondary hard disk, created a virtual partition so I can boot to multi op sys.

Remove sda2, create a new sda1 in all of the free space, *copy* sda3 to sda1, update menu.lst and fstab, and reinstall grub. Then you'll have two systems installed temporarily.

[18:56] cool [18:56] s33nagain: uh? [18:56] I'm just answering a 404..

[19:38] inspyre: oh .. so its a file that needs editing in gedit? [19:38] erlend_: extract it [19:38] zetheroo: no just run the command [19:38] does it take a long time for md5sum to return a result when run on a 700mb iso?

[19:40] inspyre: ok thanks [19:40] Tim: you uninstalled ubuntu-desktop by accident? [19:40] imbehind: yeah, multiple disks and BIOS/OS misunderstandings happen quite often [19:40] soundray: Yeah i'm just trying to verify this download want to know what the md5 is of the file I have.

[21:51] hodu : try dropping your DRAM speed to 100 if it is higher. may just be my system but i see "Loading, please wait" when i go higher than 100 [21:51] Mecha27: ? [21:51] wubi doesn't actually dual boot, you know that right? [21:51] serkan`c, all right [21:51] rafaelscj: wikipedia has a chart of how every distro does it. there are like 5 or 6 different ways [21:52] ejer, lovely, i have the exact same card on a debian machine and it works flawlessly [21:52] Mecha27: don't do what?

[21:52] or use the xorg backup [21:53] sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [21:53] sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [21:53] ManualOverDozer9: i didn't change that when it happened so it can't be that [21:53] i think there is a backup of xorg.conf [21:53] i just got an mp3 player. a Creative Zen V and am trying to get ubuntu to see it. [21:53] use -phigh [21:53] rohu: wubi isn't like a regular install of an operating system. normally, when you have to OS's, they're side by side. wubi does it differently, it installs ubuntu inside windows, not beside it [21:53] serkan, yeah, inittab is great! [21:53] verticalvoid: this is one to check the logs on for hints of what is happening and for google-able data [21:53] rohu : ok, just wanted to let you know, that is what happens to me, it hangs on that screen if i go higher than 100. just a suggestion [21:53] adude: to see as a mp3 player? [21:54] Mecha27: yes, i sort of know that. but it's the easiest way to get started i think [21:54] serkan`c: Im not looking for a way back. RECOVERY MODE already helps with that. Im looking or a way to ahve my hadrware acceleraton activated [21:54] i just want to drag and drop my music onto it [21:54] ejer, i have, it seems like it's been a bug in the past, and i haven't been able to see if there was a patch, i'm still searching, but figured if someone knew of a solution, that'd be easier than sifting through all them threads [21:54] if my wireless doesnt support injections, any way to fix that, or is it a hardware-feature I cant do anthing about? === sad`panda is now known as Sad`Panda [21:54] Dbuggger: so what is your card?

[21:54] blackpearl, use a script [21:55] blackpearl: right your script and put it /usr/local/bin or /usr/bin [21:55] blackpearl: http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/03/30/creating-shortcuts-with-user-aliases/ [21:55] I've seen some people fixing this bug changing atieventsd.sh, but that didnt work for me [21:55] s/right/write [21:55] Mecha27: i just had a big trouble to get it installed cos the disk installation wouldn't work with me at all [21:55] hi folks, I'm looking for a way to shut down my system gracefully at some specified time. I know about the shutdown command, but the session management gets messed up when I'm using it - and I need to keep my session running cause I'm recording a TV movie in kaffeine... [21:55] serkan`c, ah... i see, i did the script in /bin, and it didnot work, it's /usr/bin/// [21:55] Mecha27: i use the latest, that's what i know [21:55] serkan`c, blackpearl or add it to your path [21:55] blackpearl: /usr/local/bin is a good place for scripts [21:56] yeah so you can understand that which script is yours [21:56] re: gucash: is there any documentation spelling out how to import from Quicken? [21:56] blackpearl: must chmod +x as well [21:56] rohu: not sure why it won't work, try reinstalling it, and make sure to not do a hard reboot, you have to install it from windows, then let it boot into Ubuntu once to finish the install, which takes a lot longer than the windows part === Bob___ is now known as dogmeat [21:57] Dbuggger: which ati radeon? [21:57] Mecha27: yes but i was scared that during the disc formation that it would go into windows files [21:57] i dont have an ati card [21:57] Xpress M200 [21:57] anyone else other than ejer (thanks btw), have suggestions on my wireless problem?

[21:57] rohu: nope, it won't, trust me, I ran it for months, even back when it was in beta [21:57] blackpearl: AND it has to be in a directory in your path, so /usr/local/bin [21:58] blackpearl: is it working via terminal? [21:58] serkan`c: I've reinstalled thedriver a thousand times from different ways. [21:58] ejer, there is a program that manages the system's initialization, do you know? I forgot [21:58] blackpearl, serkan`c, or ~/bin [21:58] serkan`c: everyone with the same problem said they fixed it changing some script [21:58] rafaelscj: just do an 'sudo update-rc.d gdm remove' which will stop graphics from starting autoomatically [21:58] Hmm, I wonder, will Ubuntu detect an encrypted LVM volume? (Basically I wonder how to move the content of my old laptop to my new laptop :( ) [21:58] Mecha27: ok, sr for my rubbish english sentences :D i'll come back if i get in to trouble. thanks [21:58] no problem [21:59] anyone know how to change the default x,y coordinates for your mounted icons on the desktop? [21:59] so Dbuggger did you try and failed? [21:59] yes [21:59] yacc: i think you will have to set it up manually [21:59] and what is the error when you try to start X ? [21:59] ejer, any idea how to move my data as fast as possible? [21:59] they change XDM_AUTH_MASK in /etc/ati/authatieventsd.sh [22:00] yacc: mount it, then rsync it to another dirve unencrypted, then set up new encrypted disk and rsync back, need extra disk of course [22:00] i get a black screen and is FREEZED! [22:00] i thought linux doesnt freezes [22:00] ejer, I have read that wine runs better if gdm isn't running... [22:00] yacc: it is possible to just mount it if you don't NEED to move it [22:00] there was a way to make sound come out of the terminal window to check if your soundcard works even if other applications aren't able to play sound [22:00] Dbuggger: ctrl+alt+f1 didnt work?

The rest of my family uses Windows XP while I am using Ubuntu 8.04. I cannot connect to their computers, but, obviously, the as a gateway to the Internet it works fine. What is the deal? [22:00] anyone know how to change the default x,y coordinates for your mounted icons on the desktop? === xcom is now known as Salladin [22:01] I need to do hard reboot [22:01] Dbuggger: No [22:01] ejer, no.... it's not in /usr/local/bin, i have to type xterm99 in alt-f2 for it to work, when i rename it as just xterm, it will not work [22:01] Dbuggger: Hold alt-sysreq and slowly type each letter: r e i s u b [22:01] serkan`c, via alt-f2's input box [22:01] MiraiWarren0_0, can the xp machines talk to each other? [22:02] blackpearl: there is already a program called xterm... [22:02] Flannel, ~/bin ? you sure? it's via alt-f2 input box [22:02] flannel: "alt+sysreq"????

I want to map some additional multimedial key for that function. In X it seems fairly easy using xmodmap, but how about plain terminal? Is there any loadkeys replacement in hardy? [22:02] and blackpearl I suggested your script should be in /usr/local/bin, not /bin as you said it was [22:02] ejer, i ve done it before in older ubuntu version, it simply overwrites existing xterm command [22:02] MiraiWarren0_0, then the router may not allow internal connections, it might just function as a gateway [22:02] ejer, and how about tty1-6?, maybe i can run wine in other console [22:02] ejer, it's in /usr/local/bin, not in /bin [22:02] I've never heard of a "sys req" key :S:S:S [22:03] rafaelscj: you need X running! [22:03] th0r: Can it be reconfigured? [22:03] used to work in /bin, but now cannnot, so i put inisde the location you told me [22:03] r [22:03] blackpearl: ~/bin should be in your path, yes. see your bash profile [22:03] blackpearl: not sure what the issue is, why don't you just give it a unique name?

[22:05] ~/bin is not in the default path [22:05] blackpearl: this belongs in a bash alias, not a script imo [22:05] when using skype will be easy in Ubunut?

[22:06] serkan`c: yes. Check your .bash_profile (or .profile, I believe on hardy). You'll see it check if ~/bin exists, and if it does, it'll add it to your path [22:06] th0r: I suppose I will see.

So, i'd have to mount them all seperately and do that. [22:21] how can i set my drives to mount on startup [22:21] is there a gui to help me teach this to people who are kindof windows teathered?

[23:08] 'lo -- How do I stop gdm from being my default window manager. I would like wmii to start instead. I have an .xinitrc file that I created so when I call `xinit`, wmii runs just fine. How can I do that automatically? [23:08] DavidCanarias: applications>internet>firefox type in youtube.com to URL bar hit enter [23:09] defn: sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove [23:09] anytone know about installing a geforce 9 series? [23:09] copperpot - I tried copy / past and it worked, but it said Adobe Flashplayer plugin installer and then returned to david desktop etc., [23:09] hi everyone, I am looking for a cool dock for ubuntu, is one built in? I tried simdock from add/remove but i am getting a "can't load image from file..." [23:09] ejer: how about getting wmii to start in its place? [23:10] ejer: will I still be able to /etc/init.d/gdm start? [23:10] I've installed one but... the 3d now cant work and the screen got un configured [23:10] can i make ubuntu completely remotely accessible?

[23:11] !vnc | thapar [23:11] thapar: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [23:11] force quit === EGU is now known as ExGearUser [23:11] Everything else I try "works" without failure, but the TV still refuses to display anything. [23:11] <_< [23:11] Netsplit? [23:11] Thingus: tv-out is ... annoying [23:11] !netsplit [23:11] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [23:11] Is there a way to install Ubuntu "without the desktop"? I am looking at a command line only installation .. or am I better off with Debian? [23:11] ejer I typed in youtube.com and what do I do now? [23:11] Thingus: have you tried the screens manager? it's broken as hell, (and you'll want to backup your xorg.conf for when you stop using the tv) but i've always been able to connect to a tv that way [23:12] harisund: ubuntu-server [23:12] DavidCanarias, just download the tar.gz file from adobe. [23:12] vnc is commandline based? [23:12] DavidCanarias: can you watch a video? [23:12] ejer: Setting the TV as the only display works fine [23:12] DavidCanarias, try apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [23:12] Wasn't asking what it was xD Just an observation. :P [23:12] But, that's too annoying. [23:12] how to check if my video driver is working properly glxgears shows 150 fps, lspci says it's : [23:12] ejer - never tried? jejeje [23:12] 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] Virtual PCI-to-PCI bridge (AGP) [23:12] i allocated 64 mb in bios [23:13] DavidCanarias: maybe you should since you want to see if flash is working? ??? [23:13] Anyone using Crossover Games with 8.04? [23:13] lunch: try running glxinfo | grep -i version [23:13] lunch: there are no 3d drivers for SIS chips [23:13] hey all I am trying to install Gothic (First Part) under wine, and somehow I can't get it working [23:13] jcm_: doesn't codeweavers provide professional support for it? [23:13] copperpot - access denied?? [23:13] asks if I am root? [23:13] yea [23:14] ejer, OK will try and advise [23:14] sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [23:14] Dominik: there's #winehq if no one can answer your question here, what seems to be the problem? [23:14] ubuntu_live, [23:14] They don't know what is causing it. I was just wounding if I was the only one having the issue [23:14] server glx version string: 1.2 [23:14] client glx version string: 1.4 [23:14] GLX version: 1.2 [23:14] OpenGL version string: 1.4 (2.1 Mesa 7.0.3-rc2) [23:14] lunch: all you have is software rendering [23:14] crdlb, ok, so 150 fps is normal? [23:15] no that's really low... [23:15] the glxgears fps is completely meaningless [23:15] bbl [23:15] ejer nothing happens, but I see the download for adobe flashplayer [23:15] ubuntu_live: well when I start the game it starts running, but the Intro is totally chunky and cut up and the sound is chunky, and then it crashes after a while saying something like gothic doesn't have permission to read from F000000 or something like that [23:15] !bot [23:15] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://tinyurl.com/5zfb6t - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [23:15] DavidCanarias: bingo [23:15] Steam says it servers are too busy and just wounding if it was just my system. [23:15] +part [23:15] I am FlareBot, the all-knowing infobot. [23:15] lol [23:16] Dominik: have you checked appdb? [23:16] ubuntu_live, things are running little slow in gnome, on the same machine, xp runs faster [23:16] ejer do I download from youtube then? [23:16] DavidCanarias, http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash [23:16] ubuntu_live: appdb ? [23:16] DavidCanarias: for the sake of brevity, yes [23:16] i have about 700 mb ram, 160 gig hd, 2.0 ghz cpu celeron [23:16] can someone help me resolve why, even though i have kde4 gone, when im on gnome, it wont change from the ugly kde4 cursor even if i change it in the themes settings? [23:16] keen 101 thanks [23:16] it'll show my theme on programs like firefox, but the kde one on the desktop [23:17] hey question - if i ssh into a machine without X-forwarding and try to run firefox, for example, what will happen? [23:17] Dominik: http://appdb.winehq.org i believe, they have TONS of info from when other people have used wine, you can see if other people have had the same problem with that game, and if they were able to overcome it [23:17] yeah, my sister seemed to be into it but she seemed awkward the whole time I was doing it [23:17] ejer will try but back again to which version or type to install tar or rpm or YUM [23:17] tar.gz [23:17] crap, disregard. that was meant as a pm [23:17] jcovert, you will have an error ... [23:17] jcovert: firefox will probably error saying it can't connect to the display [23:17] DavidCanarias, tar.gz [23:17] DavidCanarias: i gave you step by step instructions, you should NOT download anything from adobe [23:17] err rather, is there a way i can remotely load firefox without x-forwarding? [23:18] ejer, what's bad about adobe? [23:18] keen101: that is not a supported way of doing it, why do you suggest this? it is all automatic [23:18] jcovert: is xorg also running on the remote machine? [23:18] copperpot thanks. But access denied it asks if I am root? [23:18] it can be if i need it to be, i guess [23:18] keen101: this is why we have repositories [23:18] ubuntu_live: ok thx I will see if I can find anything [23:18] DavidCanarias, do you know the password for root? [23:18] Anyone using Google desktop? I've been back and forth between Tracker and Beagle, Tracker isn't showing me results, as in it shows 90 files, but nothing in the window, and Beagle doesn't always search everything. [23:18] sup guys. does anyone use linux mint? [23:18] umma, I used to, why? [23:18] copperpot Im new and know nothing??? [23:18] bobbob1016: what is yr Q? [23:19] bobbob1016, does it work at x64 amd? [23:19] ejer, sure. But, if he's having that much difficulty then he should just install it from source. takes ten min. [23:19] ejer are you saying I should download tar version and it will load automatically? [23:19] DavidCanarias, when you installed the machine the installation asked you a password for root [23:19] Hello everyone [23:19] doesn't it? [23:19] ejer, q? [23:19] keen101: that is about hardest way to do it, and when next version comes out, then what.... remember, some people are newbies [23:19] bobbob1016, does it work at x64 amd? [23:19] copperpot Yes I have to enter a password each time is that what you mean [23:19] question bobbob1016? [23:19] Dominik: oh yeah i forgot! are you using up-to-date wine? [23:20] copperpot:no,there is no root password in ubuntu [23:20] Copperpot: actually no ubuntu does not ask for a root passwrod [23:20] copperpot:root account is disable by default [23:20] ubuntu_live: 0.9.59 [23:20] Copperpot: Ubuntu just gives the first account sudo acces [23:20] ubuntu_live: basically, i'm trying to ssh into a machine and run a script that opens firefox - as of right now, there is no X installed - what will I need to do? Is installing X enough? [23:20] ejer, yeah... i suppose. But, i was willing to walk him through it. Only like four commands to it too. But, if you've got it covered. [23:20] and it takes 20 seconds by letting FF do it for you keen101 [23:20] ah, ok [23:20] Dominik: old! one sec [23:20] does anyone use linux mint? [23:21] ejer, Sorry, I was asking if it worked well, as in fast, if it was worth reindexing again. I also have a problem trusting with indexing everything, but I'm paranoid... [23:21] DavidCanarias, try sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [23:21] umma: many people do [23:21] umma, http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=opera&rls=en&hs=3Tz&q=linux+mint+64bit&btnG=Search [23:21] ejer, in my past experience FF alway's failed to install it on my system. [23:21] or gksudo etc etc [23:21] keen101: works great [23:21] Dominik: http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb if you follow those directions (read them carefully) you will stay up to date with wine [23:21] ejer, do u know, does it works at amd x64? elyssa 5 [23:21] umma, I googled "linux mint 64bit" then go to the top post, it says it doesn't have a 64bit version directly, you install the 32bit version, that works fine on 64bit. [23:21] ejer I am a newbie and am getting puzzled!! I've downloaded the tar file to save. What do I do next please? [23:22] ejer, i've never tried it on FF3, but on the older versions it never worked for me. [23:22] DavidCanarias: look back at what I told you to do [23:22] ubuntu_live: ok thx, problem is I don't have a internet connection with my Linux Laptop where I am installing :-/ [23:22] anyone? i can't get ubuntu to change the kde default cursor even when on gnome, on login it reverts back to it [23:22] bobbob1016, thanks, im on my way to installing [23:22] ejer, but that reminds me... doesent ubuntu install it's own FF add-on that INCLUDES flash? [23:22] ejer, I can see you're busy, so no rush, I'll google around a bit more... I'll google if I should be paranoid about google desktop, sounds funny [23:22] Ok im going crazy with this....snmpd...it it will not accept connections outside the box..and no there is no firewall on the box [23:22] Dominik: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=3000 is this it? because it looks like people with recent versions of wine aren't having *too* much trouble with it [23:23] http://www.debianhelp.co.uk/snmp.htm [23:23] ubuntu_live: yes that is it [23:23] im following the instructions on that site... [23:23] ubuntu_live: I just started reading that page myself [23:23] bobbob1016: i would not use it, ubuntu tracker works well [23:23] i can run snmpwalk from the actual machine..but on the outside..i get nothing [23:23] are the default fonts in mint the same as in the default ubuntu distr? [23:23] umma, I'm not fond of Mint, for a newb it's ok, but I find a few things a little problematic. Make sure to put your /home on a different partition than your /, so you can reinstall and change distros without much issue. [23:23] Dominik: ah alright :-) i just felt like since it was your first time on appdb i could at least look myself too [23:24] ejer, When I search, I just get a blank window, even though I get 90 results [23:24] Dominik: that lack-of-internet thing is rather prohibitive, is there any way you can temporarily get the laptop internet? [23:24] DavidCanarias, FF3 didn't come with flash ? [23:24] hey.. anyone know how to play xgalaga in windows mode? [23:24] DavidCanarias: you can also go to add/remove under applications and search flashplugin then tick box next to it and say apply changes [23:24] ubuntu_live: yeah thx I really appreciate the help... let me see if I can get a cable :) [23:24] keen101: it does not, but it autoinstalls for you on first flash page you see, exactly like windows [23:25] Hiya all, just was wondering if kde 4.1 is out in the repo's yet? [23:25] how od i find out if i am running 64 or 32bit ubuntu? [23:25] <|thunder> what signal does ctrl^z send ? [23:25] foug:uname -a will tell you your kernel version [23:25] ubuntu_live: I'll have to go offline , I will be right back, ok? [23:25] lsb_release -a [23:26] ejer, i understand what you are talking about with the flash install prompt, but i'm pretty sure with the ubuntu 8.04 that "Ubuntu Firefox modifications" plugin it has flash. [23:26] keen101: no, it is restricted software! [23:26] Dominik: sure :-) [23:26] for certain reasons, I need to go back to gutsy kernel. I actually still have the gutsy kernel installed. I want to install the ubuntu pkg for nvidia for gutsy. [23:27] ciao a tutti... [23:27] qualcuno potrebbe darmi una mano? [23:27] keen101: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash [23:27] I have linux-image-2.6.22 linux-restricted-modules and linux-ubuntu-modules installed. do I need anything else (besdies the nvidia pkg)_ to get nvidia working again with gutsy? [23:28] ejer, yeah your right. I guess i must have installed it myself. I just don't remember. :) [23:28] he he, people, look at this joke -> www.microsoft.ba [23:28] bobbob1016: not sure what the issue could be, but maybe service is not running? [23:28] I crashed just as I received a message from someone????? [23:28] ejer, must be my thick skull. :) hehe [23:29] ejer, No, I'm pretty sure it is running, since I see 90 results in the right of the window, under "All" just nothing in the actual content window when I click All, or any other option for that matter [23:29] ejer did you send me a message when I crashed??? [23:30] i did not crash your system DavidCanarias :) [23:30] keen 101 did you send me a message when I crashed so I couldnot answer. [23:30] ejer don't worry it wasnt your fault [23:30] phewf! [23:31] DavidCanarias, i don't think so. [23:31] I'm trying to install the flashplayer and received a message from someone but couldnt answer [23:31] ubuntu_live: hey [23:31] hey Dominik [23:31] copperpot did you send me a message on msn I couldnt answer as I crashed?? [23:32] ubuntu_live: can you resend me the two links ? :D [23:32] DavidCanarias: it does not matter! that is offtopic [23:32] Dominik1 sure one sec [23:32] ejer the message was precisely in order to help me install the flashplayer!!!! [23:32] Dominik1: first the appdb entry http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=3000 [23:32] DavidCanarias, I sent you a private message [23:33] Copperpot, can we try again then please, apologies [23:33] Dominik1: then here's the install instructions http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb [23:33] DavidCanarias, I have tried it another time just now [23:34] has anyone installed vncserver on gutsy?

This script should automatically begin when a user logins in to the system, and should stop taking the screenshots upon the termination of the user's session. [23:42] I didn't have any problem creating the bash script, but I don't know how to make this script automatically begin when a user logins in to the system and stop taking the screenshots upon the termination of the user's session.

I have to manually select an earlier kernel (2.6.24-19-generic instead of -20). is there something I can do about this so that I don't have to manually select it every time? [23:44] ejer and ubuntu_live thanks for the answer! [23:44] * Pelo wonders if he'd get better performance out of the binary driver , compared to the restricted driver for his nvidia geforce 6800 [23:44] ubuntu_live how do I do this. Sorry I am a newbie [23:44] surlyduff: you can make an older kernel your default kernel if you want [23:45] Pelo: hm? [23:45] is there a reason why i can play UT2004 on the highest settings and get better performance than if i play Gnometris from the games folder? [23:45] Pelo: won't matter they are the same unless you mean a newer driver then maybe [23:45] Barracuda: well, there's firestarter, which is a (fairly) nice GUI that will let you do this, or you can use iptables directly [23:45] how can i get flash for ubuntu? flash doesn't seem to work in firefox on ubuntu. [23:45] http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/f/flashplugin-nonfree/ [23:45] ktiche: how do I do that? alternatively, how long until a new kernel comes out? [23:45] kitche, thanks for the info that's pretty much what I was hinting at [23:45] !flash | pulseezar [23:45] pulseezar: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [23:45] hola [23:45] CorbinFox: yep, because gnometris is broken, it redraws things unnecessarily [23:46] Pelo: sometimes a newer driver could be better but I m kinda stuck at legacy drivers right noiw [23:46] necesito ayuda [23:46] you guys are sweet. thanks. [23:46] Pelo: manually installing a newer version of the drivers is not worth the trouble unless you *KNOW* it will improve things.

[23:46] ejer: why did they drop flashplugin from universe/multiverse ? [23:46] ubuntu-live: oh, ok. i was maxing out my CPU and lagging a lot at times, made playing near impossible past level 10 for me [23:46] Pelo: that is, if it's not broken, don't fix it. [23:46] Barracuda: yep, i only mentioned the firestarter GUI because usually people prefer to have a GUI [23:46] ubuntu_live: could it be that I still have to install Direct X 8.0 ? Or does Wine come with a current Diret [23:47] Direct X version [23:47] Chousuke, not at that point yet, I'm getting pretty descent rendering, I'm kind of new to this whole nvidia thing I use to run a 32 meg onboard intel chipset [23:47] Dominik1: no it actually comes with its own version (that converts the direct x to the underlying linux systems) so no one has a similar problem to you on appdb? [23:48] * Pelo wonders who ubuntu_live live is [23:49] kitche: how do I do that? alternatively, how long until a new kernel comes out? [23:49] Barracuda: i've actually never used iptables directly, i'd google it and check the man page via 'man iptables' [23:49] * ubuntu_live wonders who he is as well [23:49] yes Thanks for your help [23:49] Barracuda, there is a new ubuntu easy firewall settings thing, let me do a bit of research , [23:50] ubuntu_live: well I changed something let me try and see if the problem is still there [23:50] Could someone point me in the right direction to get my keyboard working properly?
