[00:53] subdolus_: use this as your new sources.list: http://paste.ubuntu.com/54476/ [00:53] 34dfdfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff [00:53] k, you could do sudo -i then run wireshark from there [00:53] FlyerFanatic: how far does it boot? [00:53] subdolus_: then type "sudo apt-get update", then try again installing [00:54] deaftone, why uh? [00:54] well with ubuntu it allows me to get to the menu to let me choose boot from disc...i choose that...the orange load screen goes for a few minutes then i start getting error messages [00:54] deaftone, when your cat, kid, dictionary or whatever has stopped leaning on the keyboard, give me a ping [00:54] hello to all [00:54] How do I empty the trash in ubuntu? [00:55] john__, rm -r ~/.Trash/* [00:55] with knoppix it loads up a screen i hit enter to let that load from disc...starts reading what drives i have and all...then it just ends with knoppix! then just sits there [00:55] i am looking for a program to fix video quality any advice ?!? [00:55] Marfi: ...okay, chmodding the directory had no effect. [00:55] !trash | Marfi, john__ [00:55] Marfi, john__: The location of Trash has changed in 8.04, it is now located in ~/.local/share/Trash | Looking for the trash in previous versions: ~/.Trash [00:55] !trash | john__ [00:56] ah, they moved it. =) [00:56] k, did you try with sudo -i, then running wireshark? [00:56] Marfi: yes. [00:56] Ok, I am currently looking at the command: iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ethX -j MASQUERADE If I wanted to delete this rule, would I replace -A with -D? [00:56] LjL: Love your work dude. All good. Many thanks.\ [00:56] FlyerFanatic, did you dload the 64 bit version of ubuntu [00:56] i am looking for a program to fix video quality any advice ?!? === Delvien is now known as DM| === DM| is now known as Delvien [00:56] yep [00:56] !Emulators [00:56] Sorry, I don't know anything about emulators [00:57] i am looking for a program to fix video quality any advice ?!? [00:57] FlyerFanatic: i would try the alternative install disc... [00:57] !alternative | FlyerFanatic [00:57] unop; this is the first one http://paste.ubuntu.com/54478/ [00:57] FlyerFanatic: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate checkbox on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal - Torrent at http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04.1/ubuntu-8.04.1-alternate-i386.iso.torrent [00:57] FlyerFanatic, did you try any of the boot options like acpi=off [00:57] I appear to have several things hosed here, not sure what happened. Besides the wrong stuff displaying on the desktop, it's ignoring the setting to start a VNC server, and I'm having to start that manually from the command line [00:58] Killer--Tux: fix the quality in what regard? [00:58] unop; and the second. http://paste.ubuntu.com/54480/ [00:58] what does turning acpi off do...i think i read that screws comp up [00:58] bibertdos - ?!? [00:58] Marfi: Wireshark spits out an error on any kind of file-save operation, it seems. [00:59] k, tried to reinstall it? moving to my laptop...brb [00:59] If acpi=off, doesnt that usually mean it disables advanced options like sleepmode? [00:59] unop, sorry for the distractions...busy watching the bucs and rays lose.... :>) [00:59] Killer--Tux: What do you mean "fix" the video quality? [01:00] bibertdos - improve it [01:00] ferretonthelus, i'm not sure what is - but sudo dpkg --clear-avail && sudo apt-get update [01:00] Killer--Tux: buy a better monitor? [01:00] unop. watching the football and baseball....... [01:00] bibertdos - when i recored my screen and i send the video to someone the quality is bad [01:00] FlyerFanatic: Oh yeah!! Disabling acpi......that's what I couldn't think of earlier! [01:01] well i have a 36" sony [01:01] Killer--Tux: try increasing the video quality or "bitrate" in the capturing application. [01:01] tht not the problem [01:01] ferretonthelus, ahh, make sense, sounds very american and i'm not american ::) [01:01] what does that even do? [01:01] how do i turn on ssh server? [01:01] yo, how can I search for files or file types in certain folders/directories? [01:01] sshd? [01:02] yeah [01:02] Killer--Tux: the more details you provide, the higher the chance of someone understanding your problem. ;) [01:02] but how about on videos i have already recorded [01:02] JoeFool, the 'find' command is handy for that task [01:02] thanks [01:02] oh.....sorry...didn't know.......forgive my ignorance...... [01:02] JoeFool, there's a couple of ways - but define "file types" [01:02] http://icculus.org/openbox/index.php/Help:Bindings#Key_combination [01:02] which is the Meta key and which the Hyper key on my keyboard? [01:02] how do I do that? [01:02] unop; http://paste.ubuntu.com/54481/ [01:02] aurel42 : do you understand what i am trying to say ?!? [01:02] ferretonthelus, ok now? ls -l /var/lib/dpkg/available [01:03] like- "find file types home/joe/music .wav"? [01:03] Why is it that if I use any music player, then sound doesnt work through my browser? [01:03] apt-get says there's no package sshd, whats it called? [01:03] Killer--Tux: I suspect that's not possible, but it might depend on your capture application. [01:03] openssh-server [01:03] Lengman: openssh-server [01:03] hard to get help in here...to much text :) [01:03] ok thx [01:03] JoeFool, i would tart with 'man find' and oerhaps google for sojme 'find tutorials' [01:03] JoeFool, to find .wav files. find /directory -iname "*.wav" [01:03] -iname? [01:03] JoeFool: case Insensitive Name [01:03] ah [01:03] thanks [01:03] JoeFool, theres also the 'locate' command if youjust want to find files based on name [01:03] JoeFool, you should read the man page :) [01:04] Killer--Tux: I think I understand that you use some tool to record videos of your desktop activity and that the quality is too low (blurry text in the video etc.). Correct? [01:04] haha [01:04] this is easier, though. thanks for the help [01:04] unophttp://paste.ubuntu.com/54482/; [01:04] aurel42 : yes [01:04] well just sounds like my comp is to high tech to even install linux...thanks for the help anyways [01:04] FlyerFanatic: ACPI is a standard that regulates power management and hardware configuration, usually important, but it can interfere with Linux's boot sequence sometimes. [01:05] Killer--Tux: unless that tool keeps high-res raw data and produces bad-quality videos afterwards, there's no chance to improve videos after the fact. [01:05] ferretonthelus, finally - now, it looks like we fixed these errors - is there anything else that you're having trouble with? [01:05] aurel42 : oo [01:05] FlyerFanatic: and narrowing your issue down to acpi could help you to take further steps [01:05] Im having problems with sound in firefox. [01:05] FlyerFanatic, problem is the makers.. dont follow their own specs at times. [01:05] aurel42 : this is going to be tough [01:05] unop; no...i seee the - sign has changed to a down arrow...is this good? [01:05] FlyerFanatic, the next ubuntu release might just fix the problems.. :) that happened on my last laptop.. [01:06] unop: i guess there's some amount of risk that what he's actually got installed doesn't correspond with what's in status, though... [01:06] dont wanna mess with any power settings...i could end up screwing something up..dont wanna end up not being able to power up vista or anything [01:06] Killer--Tux: you produced a lot of videos without checking the quality on a sample first? ;) [01:06] dr_willis: why might it fix acpi trouble? [01:06] which filetype is run in terminal [01:06] when Ubuntu 9.04 will be relesed? [01:06] tenX, In my case.. there was some updated kernel patches that were in the next release... [01:06] aurel42 : pretty much [01:06] pal: april [01:07] aurel42 : lol [01:07] tenX, befor that - the laptop had all kinds of issues.. [01:07] FlyerFanatic: It won't be permanent. It only affects the one session, since it's part of the boot options. [01:07] anyone help me with sound problems? [01:07] unop; actually it is an red down arrow with an ! in the middle of it.... [01:07] dr_willis: i see so those are workaround for errorness acpi tables? [01:07] hello [01:08] so insert the ubuntu disc when the menu loads it will be in the menu? [01:08] ferretonthelus, what is this you are talking about tho? i'm not sure what you mean [01:08] tenX, some times. its also worth while to check for bios updates from the makers. [01:08] I have installed the facebook plugin, but I can't see it in pidgin [01:08] FlyerFanatic: Yeah, it's somewhere in the boot options when you hit one of the function keys, I forget which [01:09] unop; WOW .......you are good! thanks.......1jillion times...thanks.... [01:09] oh you mean in my bios or in ubuntu options? [01:09] dr_willis: okay the last one i was aware of. just bare interest in the patches. are they distribution dependend or also included in vanilla kernels? [01:09] ferretonthelus, hold on, there's one last thing to do [01:09] Hi all :) Anyone here had successfully run aspx files with lighttpd? [01:09] Hey everyone again! If my /etc/network/interfaces contains only "auto lo" and "iface lo inet loopback" would that be a reason why I am uable to ping any address? [01:10] pookmu: The "one program at a time" problem is a bug in Pulse. With flash 9, you need libflashsupport for audio support. [01:10] unop, sordry....normally where the orange star is, to tell us there are updates...there has been a red ball with a whhite - in the middle of it..... [01:10] so do a apt-get libflashsupport? [01:10] Brian4120: in a way. the question would be why no other network devices appear in your file [01:10] bobertdos: can i just apt-et libflashsupport? [01:10] tenX, i imagine they get sent upstream. so they get into vanilla befor too long. [01:10] * bobertdos is sufficiently annoyed to go write an addendum for the soundtroubleshooting article. [01:11] oh,, i already selected to do the updates......? [01:11] sorry bobertdos [01:11] dr_willis: thanks for your information [01:11] ferretonthelus, you mean in the notification area ?? [01:12] pookmu: No, no, I wasn't directing that at you. I've just had to explain this to too many people the past few months. [01:12] ferretonthelus, ls /usr/share/doc | grep -v [A-Z] | grep -v '^texmf$' | grep -v '^debian$' | awk '{print $1 " install"}' | dpkg --set-selections && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade [01:12] unop; if it is not impolite t ask, i would like to know where you are located.....yes, in the notification area...... [01:12] Brian4120: that interfaces file is normal for networking managed by NetworkManager. can you ping localhost? [01:12] hello [01:12] tenX, yea. My laptop was totally unuseable when i first got it under ubuntu, then 2 mo later.. a new ubuntu release and its 100% :) [01:12] Brian4120: check for unmentioned networking devices with ifconfig -a [01:12] ferretonthelus, on the other side of the big pond - where the queen lives :) [01:12] bobertdos thank you for the help [01:12] bimberi: Yes [01:12] pookmu, badfish: Yes, sudo apt-get install libflashsupport [01:12] ok, very good,,,,i figured so...very good chap! [01:13] heh :) [01:13] ta mate [01:13] are there any text editors in ubuntu (other than the console editors) that numbers the lines and allow switching between text display and hexidecimal display [01:13] unop, copy and paste the whole line? [01:13] tenX: I get an eth0, lo, wlan0 and wmaster 0 [01:13] dr_willis: fortunately i never ran into acpi problems with any system where i actually had to install linux. only with live cds for fixing issues [01:13] ferretonthelus, yep [01:13] tenX: For with and without -a [01:13] unop, of should i say both lines? [01:14] ferretonthelus, it's actually only one big line [01:14] Brian4120: to get the wanted network support on boot up, you'd have to configure your devices the way you want in the interfaces file [01:14] md22: "apt-cache search hex editor" gives no good suggestions? [01:14] Brian4120: any of the interfaces have an "inet addr" other than 127.0.0.1 ? [01:14] Brian4120: since those devices are present, the drivers are loaded and the devices should be usable [01:14] unop, it is still loading 85 updates...should i wait for it to finnish? [01:14] I just upgraded to a new motherboard and can't get my Ubuntu to boot. I can't even get the desktop CD to boot. What can I do to fix this? [01:15] LjL: thanks for that [01:15] Brian4120: from that point its probably only a matter of configuring parameters for you environment [01:15] md22: i use khexedit myself, no line numbers though. [01:15] Brian4120: dhcp or static addressing [01:15] this is so frustrating....my computer always gives me problems..never is just installing something going to make it easy [01:15] bimberi: Only eth0 has my local IP (Currently connected to that interface. but this problem is with that and wlan0) [01:15] ferretonthelus, well, i'm guessing if you haven't experienced anything out of the ordinary by now, everything's ok - so let these updates finish and then run this command. sudo aptitude safe-upgrade [01:16] hello there. I'm sorry to say I've been having a lot of issues with multimedia related applications on UbuntuStudio 8.04. The most annoying ones are related to Ardour and Lives Video Editor. I was wondering if you could recommend me other media friendly linux distros, or mention an IRC chat where I could get that info [01:16] By local IP i mean my routers DHCP given ip [01:16] can you ping your router's address? [01:16] ferretonthelus, that should have sorted you out - now, i have to go hit the sack :) hope everything's ok - ciao! [01:16] <_haywire_> cya unop [01:16] bimberi: Negitive [01:16] hm [01:17] * unop & [01:17] Im thinking it could have been a problem in the iptables. [01:17] Brian4120: only if you've been fiddling with them :) [01:17] I did have to to setup the ICS. I can give you the exact link to the guide I used in a second [01:18] unop. yes, i am sure it is late?or early there?.....! [01:18] how do i tun a file in terminal [01:18] bimberi: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=91370 [01:18] *run [01:18] its a script [01:18] smokeytheman: What kind of file? [01:18] text [01:19] what does the first line say? [01:19] unop; ahtank you and hope you sleep well! [01:19] A bash script? [01:19] plain text doc [01:19] I have a Dell LCD Monitor plugged into the back of my laptop which I wish to use as my primary screen, but I have no idea how to set this up, and the "Screens" thingy in preferences does not detect the display, I am using it now but it is a cloned display from the laptop screen. Is there a way to set this up? [01:19] what does the first line say, smokeytheman? [01:19] #!/bin/sh [01:20] It's a bash script then [01:20] smokeytheman: Make sure you chmod it to be executable and then do ./filename [01:21] Brian4120: Are you using a GUI on this box? FireStarter provides a fairly straightforward way to set up ICS. [01:21] smokeytheman: so you need to run 'sudo chmod +x FILENAME.sh' and then './FILENAME.sh' [01:21] On my laptop I have two partitions. One was for my windows, and the other is for Ubuntu. I have already backed up my files on the windows partition and would now like to delete it and migrate it back into the Ubuntu partition. Would using Gparted accomplish this? [01:22] bimberi: Yes, would I be able to undo an ICS setup if I installed that? [01:22] PoisonArrow: Gparted might. your other choices are fstab, cfstab, and one other, can't think of it offhand [01:22] I can't get Ubuntu to boot after I installed a new mainboard. I tried recovery mode and all I get is SATA link up and down messages. [01:22] But yeah, if you can figure it out. [01:23] EvilDaemon, I see. Is it hard to do? [01:23] mikeculver: Did you google your problem? [01:23] EvilDaemon just deleting the partition should be fine right? [01:23] how can I setup the summer time and all that? the clock widget does not have this "advanced" controls [01:23] EvilDaemon: yes.. I got a lot of possible kernel options to try, but none of them worked. [01:23] how do SSH keys work? [01:23] This has revived my faith in the free source and the people behind it! may YOUR GOD bless you. However you see HIM,HER,IT! [01:23] ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff [01:24] nevermind, I found it [01:24] Brian4120: Possibly. You might need to undo the changes to files in those instructions. [01:24] PoisonArrow: I don't know, I haven't used gparted. [01:24] PoisonArrow: run man gparted for instructions [01:25] mikeculver: not sure what you need to do. maybe ask in ##hardware ? [01:25] anybody know whether Requiem will still work if I use an older version of iTunes? [01:25] or #hardware [01:25] you'll redirect [01:25] i'll try that.. thanks [01:25] yup, no prob [01:26] another question, why does my clock give me ALWAYS an hour more that the time it is actually? [01:26] I have set up my timezone correctly :S [01:26] bimberi: I am thinking the command appending the rule to the POSTROUTING thing might be whats messing me up. I tried doing iptables -t nat -D POSTROUTING -o wlan0 -j MASQURADE but I got a cannot load target error === Guest14027 is now known as Brucee [01:26] Umm, I have 2 hard drives conencted, they have automatically mounted (I can see them in Gnome) but nothing is in /mnt... where does it mount them to? [01:27] yurimxpxman: If your looking for a general itunes replacement, Amarok or Banshee. Otherwise, I don't know what your saying. [01:27] luminrd: /media/ [01:27] anybody know what: [01:27] [tcsetpgrp failed in terminal_inferior: No such process] could mean ? [01:27] EvilDaemon: requiem's a DRM removal tool [01:27] No idea, yurimxpxman. [01:27] google yet? [01:28] burn em all to an iso in windows [01:28] then rip it with ubuntu's cd audio extractor [01:28] Brian4120: Sorry I don't know enough to know for sure, but yes you'd not be wanting to see erros on such commands. [01:28] hey dudes i run crunchbang i like it better than ubuntu and its based on ubuntu anyways but one problem is getting wine to run in it....any advice? [01:28] . [01:28] find a crunchbang channel? [01:29] command? [01:29] NO SPAM, xSharastisisx [01:29] i've just installed intrepid using the alternate cd. only one question i have. how can a new user that i'l create will have an encrypted home folder? i've asked on #ubuntu+1 but no answer yet... [01:29] bimberi: Thanks anyways, Ill give the firestarter a go. As soon as I can get it over to my laptop. No internet means no apt-get [01:29] kitche: Ah thank you :D [01:29] in the file browser i do Go->Location and type "smb://windowsbox/sharename" and it says "Couldn't display "smb://windowsbox/sharename/". Error: Failed to mount Windows share. Please select another viewer and try agian". what viewer should i use? [01:29] i've noticed my audio output in ubuntu is significantly lower than in windows [01:29] anything i can do about this? [01:30] Once I get this one, next task, finally fixing my samba server! [01:30] omg the grammar on crunchbang.org lmao [01:30] How do you set the screen resolution to one setting (say 800x600) and the desktop resolution to a higher setting (say 1280x1024)? I've seen this before where moving the mouse to the edge of the screen rolls you around the larger desktop. Can't find this in ubuntu though. [01:30] badfish: make sure PCM is turned all the way up [01:30] Brian4120: You can always download via packages.ubuntu.com and transfer manually to the box [01:30] thanks bimberi! [01:30] Brian4120: np :) [01:31] my colors when i watch video is all screwed up. in gstreamer-properties i have XwindowSystem /X11/XShm/Xv) as i usualle have. but for some reason now i have to change it to XwindowSystem (no Xv) anyone got a fix for this ? [01:31] Crunchbang's grammar reminds me of the McDonalds tag lines or those Boost Mobile ads. "We lov to be seein' u smilin'" and "Whuuur u at dawg?" [01:31] Is anyone here old enough to remember the september that never ended? [01:31] how do i get to the crunchbang channel? i am kinda new to linux..just switched from xp [01:31] how do i access my pcm volume control? [01:31] badfish: with whatever audio mixer you use [01:31] phillip, do you like McDonalds and Boost Mobile? :-) [01:32] I want to simulate a fixed "zoom" without using compiz. In order to get around adobe flash bugs in linux, but to watch hulu video's. [01:32] How ofton is the ISO done in other words is the updates that came out today on the ISO if I download it right now?? [01:32] they're ok why [01:32] phillip, just curious :-) [01:32] kinda random lol [01:32] spiritssight, the latest 8.04.1 iso came out a few mo ago.. theres still a few updates that came out after its release.. [01:32] like the volume control in rhythmbox? [01:33] phillip: ask in a PM or on #defocus, #ubuntu-offtopic, or other various chitchat channels. not a SUPPORT channel [01:33] phillip, I noticed the www.crunchbang.org website's grammar, it reminds me of "that generation" of people have gone "Awwwww yeah! Linux!" lol, puts me in mind of McDonalds & Boost Mobile trying to "Connect" to the urban culture lol [01:33] oh, whoops. Sorry phillip [01:33] No idea's on setting the screen resolution to one thing and gnomes desktop resolution to another setting? [01:34] That was meant for xomp [01:34] yea im that kinda guy [01:34] badfish: maybe. a plain old volume control might not have it. try a more specialized application. it depends on the audio system you have installed. [01:34] codazoda, i just set the screen res lower. as a fake zoom. :) [01:34] EvilDaemon, "I have only been usin' t' installation for about 24 hours, but I be impressed with what I have seen so far." I rest my case [01:34] (no spam, xomp) [01:34] EvilDaemon: i did find a fix... [01:34] it's very dirty though. And I'm not sure it won't severely impact performance [01:34] i maxed the master volume and the volume in the program [01:34] it's not just rhythmbox but audacity, and everything else [01:34] thanks :-) [01:35] i run my computer out to an amplified stereo [01:35] mikeculver: good, that's good. Got it all working then? [01:35] dr_willis: Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. I want the screen res to be 800x600, but the desktop to be 1280x1024. I can't figure out how to set this up in ubuntu. [01:35] EvilDaemon, ah kk I'll leave Britany alone :) [01:35] codazoda, in xorg there's a config called virtual desktop [01:35] i tried and i cant do it :| [01:35] investigate on google [01:35] badfish: well, look for mixers in the package manager, i guess. [01:35] !spam > xomp [01:35] i tried and i cant do it :| [01:35] xomp, please see my private message [01:35] chmod so it can be executable [01:35] I set up privoxy and the update manager connects through it. when I stop privoxy it wont connect. [01:36] how do i set it to read as a bash script [01:36] i really like linux sofar. My network at work is micro ad...how can i implament linux on my servers? [01:36] Virtual desktop... Right. Thank you. I couldn't remember the term, so couldn't come up with any good results online. I'll go from there. Thanks for the help. [01:36] smokeytheman: use the bash shebang === Linwood_ is now known as Adrian [01:36] I have 1440*900, but no 1280*800, howto setup properly. googled around no clue [01:36] i cant install anything until i execute the script [01:37] smokeytheman: look here [01:37] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=807995 [01:37] EvilDaemon: yes. Is there any way in which I could contribute my work-around so that others might benefit?

[01:39] this sucks [01:40] im dying [01:40] what do you need? :p [01:40] I may be of help ;) [01:41] I started a rather large file transfer in terminal from one external hard drive to another. is there any way to check the progress [01:41] i dare someone to turn this into a bash script and send it to me http://pastebin.com/m751eb7cc [01:41] luminrd, stat /new/path/to/file and see the filesize [01:42] let me see smokeytheman [01:42] luminrd, you can ls -l the target file [01:42] any help to set up 1280*800 in ubuntu8.04? i got only 1440*900 [01:42] 'watch ls -l /path/to/file/being/copied' is handy [01:43] how do I connect to a torrent?

I am running an EVGA NVIDIA Geforce 7950GT KO Superclock... so I don't understand why its not working. it has nothing to do with Cedega, thats why I'm asking here, its a problem with some video driver I thin, but when I tried to reinstall my video driver, [01:44] thanks guys [01:44] Spherous: it has to deal with cedega ask them [01:45] Spherous: #cedega ##cedega ? [01:45] kitche, No one answers there~ and I can't post on their forums unless I pay for a subscription, well I'm not gonna pay for something before it works [01:45] Spherous, ive heard that wine/cedega has some issues with SPORE. [01:46] Spherous: well then what are you using a trial software? [01:46] dr_willis, the Spore Trial is their free thing to see if you can get Cedega working before you pay [01:46] hi [01:46] Spherous: look in getdeb.net, there's a plain wine patched to support spore [01:46] anybody know how to remove oxidation from a copper pipe? [01:46] kitche, full software, but a trial account, you sign in to an account every time you start the program [01:46] Spherous, you mean to say the 'cedega' free trial is called 'spore' ? [01:46] does anyone happen to know what they called the hacked and ported version of the iphoneOS running in a VM? [01:46] Oilfurnace, I heard you can with Coke [01:47] I have a soundcard with multiple outputs (6 or so, i think), and on windows i use this to have my headphones and speakers connected at the same time (i get sound from both), but on Xubuntu i only get sound from the speakers.. How can i make it give sound to the headphones aswell? [01:47] Spherous: I know what cedega is well if you have full software then you most likely downloaded it someplace fishy since you have to buy for the software [01:47] neeto: iphoneOS is just Macintosh [01:47] dr_willis, no... They advertize the Spore free trial on their software [01:47] I just found out it's possible to play Team Fortress 2 with ubuntu through WINE. Right there goes my reason to dual-boot XP with Hardy!!! [01:47] ok back [01:47] who was helping me [01:47] xomp, congrats ;) [01:47] kitche... Cedega.com isn't some place fishy [01:47] When you delete something from a usb drive does it stay until you empty the trash? [01:47] Spherous, ahh.. so the free cedaga trial comes with a trial of spore... Heh.. [01:48] how would coke help? [01:48] Spherous: well ask cedega since they would know more about their software then we would here [01:48] Oilfurnace, I was told coke "eats" the oxidation [01:48] dr_willis, right, but I can't get the trial to work, so I don't want to pay for it to get WoW to work before I can even get something they advertise as a testing game to work [01:48] who was helping me i forget...in a pm [01:49] Oilfurnace, you want something like WD40, hold on, did you say rust? copper pipe? [01:49] Spherous: sounds like you need to do some editting to cedega's configuration [01:49] copper pipes yeah green stuff [01:49] copper does not rust, it oxodizes don't it? [01:49] thing that carrys hot water [01:49] kitche, how do you propose I go about doing that? I can't put in a ticket unless I pay for a membership, I can't post on the forums, and I've asked in #cedega many times with no one answering me [01:49] the oxidation extends the life of the copper [01:49] Rust - Iron oxide [01:49] I have a soundcard with multiple outputs (6 or so, i think), and on windows i use this to have my headphones and speakers connected at the same time (i get sound from both), but on Xubuntu i only get sound from the speakers..

And like I said, they don't answer me in #cedega, I've asked about 20 times in the past week, no one answered [01:53] smokeytheman, thats the correct question this time, the answer is 'man awk' [01:53] Spheous: Did you google? === sgallinger is now known as splooge [01:53] !stfu | EvilDaemon [01:53] EvilDaemon: Acronyms or statements like noob, jfgi, stfu, or rtfm are not welcome in this channel.

[01:55] Maslow: Why do you want to do that? [01:56] mmm...shut up [01:56] speener: Please be polite. You are offtopic. [01:56] Is there a specific ubuntu irc channel for networking? [01:56] no [01:56] EvilDaemon: Gives me fatal error cannot open drive [01:56] Jab: no, but #networking usually works alright [01:56] Earlier I was having issues installing java. First it'd seem to finish fine before giving an error and then when going back to try installing a different package it just says its already in use. [01:56] Thanks [01:56] luminrd: sudo cfdisk [01:56] what would cause an ubuntu machine to open thousands of active sessions to my isp's dns ?? [01:56] Maslow: Whats the actual errr? [01:57] Sec, let me see if I can get it again. [01:57] etyrnal: visiting a porn website [01:57] Gnea, but the machine is just sittingthere -- headless [01:57] EvilDaemon: I had used sudo. But I was trying to do the /dev not the mounted one... but anyway, now it says I have no permissions to write [01:57] I am looking for help with Mythtv on Ubuntu 8.04 - - Stactic when I try to watch live tv [01:57] etyrnal: many things a bot a rootkit along with being used as a zombie [01:57] Gnea, nobosy is even loged into it === speener is now known as zarathustra [01:57] etyrnal: and its purpose is? === zarathustra is now known as speener [01:58] luminrd: sudo cfdisk should've done it with no problem... one second.

[01:58] someone mind helping me out individually? [01:58] darryl: not the same, but try hulu.com [01:58] EvilDaemon, sorry, but I have read the Rules, and no where does it say asking a question to ubottu am I doing bot abuse, thanks [01:58] Did you google a bit? === I is now known as egotrip [01:58] !pm | FlyerFanatic [01:58] FlyerFanatic: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit AND help you.

[01:58] Ok [01:59] but not to any other remote address [01:59] all on port 53 [01:59] etyrnal: so it's a router? [01:59] sorry but i'm not sure how to explain or show you what messages i'm getting with all this clutter [01:59] the ubuntu box isn't, but my router shows the connecions [01:59] http://pastebin.com/m5caf6f6b <--- heres what im given when the error occurs trying to install an item through the terminal. [01:59] EvilDaemon: Not sure what to google for on this.. [01:59] FlyerFanatic: ignore the clutter and just do it. [01:59] FlyerFanatic: pastebin.com [01:59] can i use netstat to find out what process is doing this? [01:59] I got this one because I was also using ubuntus default app install deal to install something else at the same time. [02:00] I mean, read-only is rather common but usually root can at least write it [02:00] etyrnal: so is the headless box the ubuntu box or the router? [02:00] luminrd: Google the error message you had, like 'cfdisk no permission writelast_lba(): I FATAL ERROR: Cannot get disk size' [02:00] PoisonArrow: if you are asking the bot questions, its better that you do it over pm. !BotAbuse is one way of invoking ubottu to give you those directions. The guy probably didn't mean to imply anything... [02:00] the headless box is the ubuntu [02:00] just going to assume my comp specs are to new for linux...gonna have to wait for an update...hop the include my drivers [02:00] Gnea, the router is just where i see all the connections [02:00] etyrnal: okay, and what purpose does it serve? firewall? what?

[02:01] FlyerFanatic, just paste your stuff to pastebin and try to explain the problem [02:01] Gnea, it's a slave 3D renderer for Blender 3D [02:01] but it's idle [02:01] danbh_intrepid: If it's the bot abuse incedent, then yes. [02:01] etyrnal: okay. is it running any network services of any kind? [02:02] EvilDaemon: yeah, it was you... [02:02] danbh_intrepid, ya I know. I found it little rude thought to send me a botabuse pm. [02:02] well i tried ubuntu didnt work....tried knoppix...didnt work...this is ubuntu chat...but being told to turn off acpi...dont know how to... [02:02] I just did apt-get install xfce4, and the system wont boot into xfce. [02:02] yo [02:03] Oh wow I'm a moron. Sdb not Hdb!!! [02:03] Gnea, if it is i'm not certain because i didn't set it up for any other purpose than to act as an available 3D renderer for distributed rendering -- all machines are local [02:03] luminrd: I think your next best bet would be going to http://www.ubuntuforums.org/ and making an account. Then post a topic, and see if anyone can [02:03] FlyerFanatic, you tried the ubuntu Live CD, right? What was the problem with it? were you able to boot it? did the OS start up ? [02:03] TheKiNG, did you select xfce from the Sessions menu at the login screen? [02:03] besides...kind of tired booting/rebooting comp for the night...just not gonna mess with linux....seems like you need to be outdated for it...otherwise stuff prob wont work [02:03] luminrd: There you go. :-) [02:03] xomp: That doesnt even come up [02:03] I got the server one [02:03] sorry thanks for the help EvilDaemon :P [02:03] So, it will boot into the console [02:03] FlyerFanatic, during the CD boot, hit F6(options) and add 'acpi=off' at the end of the boot line without the quotes ofcourse [02:03] startx says /etc/x11/x isnt found [02:04] FlyerFanatic: you just have to be willing to learn.. More than likely somethings out there.. you just need to find it. [02:04] Gnea, in my router i see this... http://pastebin.com/m1178172d except for twenty plus pages of it... [02:04] luminrd: Don't be sorry. Questions are meant to be asked. :-) [02:04] luminerd, stay away from ubuntuforums.org at all costs. It is folly to post there, I have 2 threads that were posted nearly a year ago with no response lol [02:04] luminerd, just keep trying here, eventually someone will be able to help. [02:04] Can somebody help [02:04] FlyerFanatic, linux works for bleeding edge as well as the trailing. all it takes is a little interest [02:04] xomp: Please quit spamming. It is getting tiresome. [02:04] xomp: tht kinda unfair to say [02:05] Alright, I have another question. I run a samba server on a headless box. Currently all my users cannot access their files. They can connect to the box via smb://hostname. When prompted for a user/pass it works there. But when I navigate to a folder it asks for a user/pass again. none of the username/pass combos i have will work. [02:05] luminrd: He's just trolling. It's a good place to go, I use it all the time. [02:05] EvilDaemon, get the hell off my back mate, I'm not spamming. You have a damaged view of spam. [02:05] Okay, plz2nothavedramakthx [02:05] i'm just gonna have to find someone that can talk me through it on a messenger program...i cant type fast enough to keep up with everyone [02:05] startx says /etc/x11/x isnt found [02:05] thanks though [02:05] Can somebody help [02:05] Trolling, spamming, the whole works are tiresome. Please stop, or you will most likely be banned. [02:05] xomp: The forums are great source of community support, just different that irc, mailing list etc... [02:06] but I may be biased [02:06] :) [02:06] FlyerFanatic, you dont have to type fast, just say someones nick, it highlighs them [02:06] FlyerFanatic: you dont have to type fast.. just if you find someone to talk to, use their name in every sentence, then they know they are being talked to [02:06] MY GOD. [02:06] TheKiNG: why didnt you try installing xubuntu-desktop? [02:06] does that have xfce? [02:06] alright well here i go... [02:06] Technoviking, the forums have been as useful as a rectum right here *points at elbow* for me. Why is it "spam" or "trolling" to suggest nobody use it? lmao [02:06] well i guess i need to try to turn off acpi [02:06] TheKiNG: yes, that is the manager. [02:06] TheKiNG, xubuntu has xfce, maybe you should try that [02:06] Good. [02:06] first [02:07] (didnt see the x there, sorry =) ) [02:07] guess i'll go ahead and try that...bbl [02:07] xomp, maybe you were asking the wrong questions? [02:07] xomp: cause just because it is not a good experience for you does not mean it is for other people [02:08] Gnea, i originally set it up using a monitor, but i only ssh to it now so i can start renders [02:08] I tried following the Ubuntu Community Documentation here (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick) but the device does not boot. Instead I get this error: BOOTMGR is missing [02:08] xomp: Considering the populaity, I don't see why it isn't a good place to go. It would've died out by now if it wasn't [good]. [02:08] nm....screw it...not gonna mess with this anymore...maybe sometime in the future linux will make it easier to install [02:09] Technoviking, I'm just saying, he should stick around and see if anyone can help instead of embarking on a voyage of being ignored by those on the forums. The forums should be your very last option after asking every possible person connected here or that will ever connect lol. [02:09] zetheroo-ubuntu: did you try this page? https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/installation-guide/i386/boot-usb-files.html [02:09] I don't see how that's possible.. I reformatted the partition and still there's stuff on the drive!! [02:10] xomp, if your issue is clearly described it will get answered. [02:10] i find the forums more helpful for indepth problems... simple issues are easly solved by reading the docs, searching the forums, or coming here... [02:10] xomp: you don't like the forums, cool. be let other people make there own decision [02:10] Alright guys, the meta-forums discussion has run its course. Lets get back to our regularly scheduled programming. [02:10] i posted in the forums...and got no responses thus i came here [02:10] danbh_intrepid : no ... but why should that work? ... I meant here are plenty of supposed ways to do this kinda thing out there on the net ... and this one that I did should be working ... but its not ... [02:10] sorry Flannel [02:10] danbh_intrepid : has this method worked for you? [02:11] FlyerFanatic, if you dont feel like /messing/ about with it, then dont do it, for a newbie its generally trial and error at first [02:11] i think 90% of issues can be solved by searching the forum, or the wiki... the forum tends to be more up-to-date than the wiki... [02:11] Yup, time to get back on topic. [02:11] Technoviking, I have no issue with that, but to say I'm spamming or trolling is a bit ignorant. I'm offering my opinion on the use of the ubuntu forums is all. [02:11] Should I sudo rm -rf /media/drive if I want to get rid of EVERYTHING on it? [02:11] how can i remotely access my ubuntu desktop from a windows machine? [02:11] zetheroo-ubuntu: never tried myself, but thats the official documentation, where as you are following the community docs. I figured it was worth a shot [02:11] luminrd: no [02:11] onats: vnc? [02:11] Odd-rationale: What should I do? [02:12] onats: namely tightvnc as a suggestion [02:12] xomp: I'm glad to continue out of channel [02:12] yea linux sounds to complicated think i'm done trying to get to the point to even mess around with it [02:12] luminrd: rm -rf /media/drive/* [02:12] luminrd: Don't do that unless you know EXACTLY what your doing, what will happen, and the tempature of canada before you do it. [02:12] danbh_intrepid : ok ... well I suppose it is worth a shot ... thanks [02:12] luminrd, *DO* *NOT* mistype that command, whatever you do [02:12] Yes I'm aware of its effects [02:12] i not sure sudo is needed [02:13] But no other method seems to be workin [02:13] Odd-rationale: it is, I don't know what it is with Ubuntu, it likes to mount shit read-only [02:13] Odd-rational: yes, if it's not owned by him [02:13] does the ibex beta have the new version of wubi?

Are you going to the BIOS and setting the cd drive to be booted before the harddrive? [02:27] darkblue_B: hmmm, cool, what was the original page you were looking at? [02:27] yes [02:27] hmm is gimp 2.6 in repositorys? [02:27] danbh_intrepid: page? [02:27] Where are you getting stuck?

[02:30] Yes [02:30] i dont have any hooked up [02:30] unop, i can't explayn that. but i do know that i once lost some things with that command... [02:30] FlyerFanatic: yeah, either disable it, or maybe update your bios. But disabling it is a much easier option. (do this even if you dont have one hooked up) [02:30] your mobo has a controller though ;) [02:31] disable it [02:31] how do i disable it?

[02:32] first the machine hung on reboot (crash detector says python 2.4 failed to upgrade properly) [02:32] danbh_intrepid - yes [02:33] and i used not-latest-gusty kernel to do it [02:33] root0, from the time I can remember - gnu rm has had this safety net - but it could have behaved differently before that - we're talking about 5-6 years ago - but this is only with rm - other apps will behave differently [02:33] then on boot, GDM said it failed to load the theme "Human" [02:33] tonsofpcs: sucky, I can suggest some commands... [02:34] then after crash detector told me py2.4 had crashed, it told me gnome-vfs-daemon closed unexpectedly, as did gnome-screensaver-gl-helper [02:34] tonsofpcs: sudo apt-get install -f [02:34] FlyerFanatic: I just found something saying that you may want to try the alternate instalation cd. [02:34] danbh_intrepid - there's no broken depends according to apt [02:34] where do i get that? [02:35] what is ubuntu? [02:35] tonsofpcs: so that command said nothing?

[03:16] ShinHadoken: Fast User Switch Applet [03:17] bazooka: a simple program should have nothing to do with a favicon. [03:17] Hey, I have an issue with running Ubuntu on a T61 Thinkpad where I can't connect to my router but I can connect to ones around me just fine. But I also have a problem simply using Firefox in that sometimes (wired or wireless) it will hang and time out when I attempt to view a new page and I have to either dis/reconnect in order to get it to work. [03:17] bazooka: Pastebin your php file, if you don't mind. [03:17] bazooka: actually, lets take this conversation to #ubuntu-offtopic, we're getting slightly offtopic for this channel. [03:17] ShinHadoken, right click on the panel and Add to Panel... and search for Fast User Switch Applet [03:17] you want the php code ? [03:18] I get this error message: "Error while opening sound device. Please check the output device settings and the project sample rate." Looking through the wiki for solutions, but not finding much. Any ideas on how to fix this? I used Audacity just fine on my Windows machine, but not having luck here...yes, I have installed the lame file. [03:18] bazooka: Yes.

[03:18] where can I find the documentation for the keymappings [03:18] so that I can find out how to get out of zoom mode [03:18] i am so new to all these [03:18] lol === buono is now known as lenios [03:18] bazooka, http://www.linuxsecurity.com/content/view/133913/171/ <-- an article on securing your apache on Ubuntu [03:19] papna: what is the package called, so I can install it through aptitude? [03:19] hernick- restart X and check the botkey of zoom funcion [03:20] xiamx: bad idea, I have plenty of open apps [03:20] this isn't windows I don't need to restart to fix this [03:21] hernick_: well, the hotkey map usually come with compiz configuration tool [03:21] hernick_, you just need to restart the X server, usually with key combination Ctrl + Alt + Backspace [03:21] ok, I fixed it [03:21] I went in the keyboard shortcuts and there was no keyboard shortcut for zooming or unzooming [03:22] which was a lie since I had activated the shortcut [03:22] Anybody interested in helping me attack some Audacity issues? [03:22] inadvertantly earlier on [03:22] hernick_, try + MOUSE4 [03:22] anyway, it works now, I mapped in a new shortcut where there was none [03:22] what the button for Mouse4? just interested [03:23] *what's [03:23] wheel up === phoenix_ is now known as tiggers [03:24] how can I use the shell to find out my router's IP address that is assigned from the ISP? [03:24] tiggers with the route command [03:24] traceroute? [03:24] route [03:25] it'll print out the routing table's contents [03:25] If a hard drive is replaced and I want to copy program settings do I have to open the program once then copy the hidden directory (ie .evolution) from the old drive to the new one? [03:25] centaur5: you don't need to open it once [03:25] Can anybody help me with the problem I'm having getting 75Hz out of my LCD panel? I'm using Ubuntu 8.04 and I have a monitor running at 1440x900@60hz on an ATI Radeon 9600. I am poor of sight, so PMing me would be handy (I'm more likely to notice it). [03:26] hernick_: Okay, well my question then is will opening the program overwrite the directory I copied? [03:26] centaur5: in most cases no === Esquilo is now known as JulioNeto [03:26] centaur5: it's not foolproof and it may vary from program to program [03:27] hernick_: Okay, thanks. Last time I did this I didn't have any bookmarks, configured chat accounts, or e-mail. I had to redo it all even though I copied the directories. [03:27] I have "Virtual 1280 1024" setup in xorg.conf. I also have "Modes "800x600@75". But, kubuntu seems to ignore this and run me at 1280x1024, period. Any idea's why this might happen? The log says it's using 1280x1024 instead of what I have in there... [03:27] *Driver mode "1280x1024" [03:29] Is restarting X with CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE enough to read the new xorg.conf in? [03:29] Hello [03:29] * root0 does anyone know anything about the encrypted home folder from intrepid? [03:29] clear [03:29] ls [03:29] yes [03:29] Can anybody help me with the problem I'm having getting 75Hz out of my LCD panel? I'm using Ubuntu 8.04 and I have a monitor running at 1440x900@60hz on an ATI Radeon 9600. I am poor of sight, so PMing me would be handy (I'm more likely to notice it). [03:29] Some further information: I used http://www.sh.nu/nvidia/gtf.php to get a modeline and put it in xorg.conf under Section Monitors but all that got me was Ubuntu telling me it was going into low graphics mode because it could not detect my settings. [03:29] python [03:30] can anyone help me with my wifi [03:30] darkjester: Maybe Settings, Resolution? [03:31] i need to supply WPA password each time to connect to internet [03:32] codazoda, so I should put the modeline there also? [03:33] which port should I use to bypass common routers and login via ssh over web? [03:33] Thanks, now my GDM works again.

I need to get it to 1440x900@75Hz in 32-bit. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I don't have much experience with modifying the xorg.conf file (big noob). So please be specific. [03:39] [Solaris], try http://tldp.org/HOWTO/DHCP/index.html [03:40] [Solaris], or http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Home-Network-mini-HOWTO.html [03:41] [Solaris], that is how I learned enough about dhcp to set one up [03:41] darkjester: I take it the screen resolution app isnt working for you? [03:41] I have a "Monitor" and a "Screen" section. Screen refers to the monitor listed in in the "Monitor" section, so should I try putting modelines in the "Screen" section?

[03:45] Does anybody know how to get my ATI Radeon 9600 and my Cibox 19" TFT into 1440x900@75Hz?

[04:45] if i want to get rid of it later [04:46] Arlia, open a shell, cd to the directory of it [04:46] pan__: then for removing your software you will simply have to delete the source folder [04:46] 8.10 [04:46] pan__, make install installs a compiled program [04:46] imchrislabeard, It should be included with Intrepid [04:46] Arlia then type ./(the name of the file) with out the ()'s [04:46] oh i c [04:46] how do I cd to the directory?

[04:56] FreshUbuntuNoob: yes, but I had them a long time ago. I also have KDE too lol [04:56] imchrislabeard, That means the file system wasn't closed properly. You need to mount the partition from terminal [04:56] FreshUbuntuNoob: this problem just happened recently [04:56] k [04:56] FreshUbuntuNoob: so mount -t or what [04:56] hey Spherous [04:56] the9a3eedi, Yes, apparently, while starting up, mplayer tries to disable the screensaver apps, one of them involves dcopserver, if I am not mistaken, and it is actually not running, so mplayer waits for it to respond, and then fails after 5 seconds [04:57] Arlianin, I PMed you, please check it [04:57] the9a3eedi, I solved the problem by reinstalling Amarok ( the only app using KDE libs on my PC), but there might be other better ways of doing it [04:57] FreshUbuntuNoob: Interesting o_o [04:57] thanks a lot! :D [04:57] imchrislabeard, Sorry for the delay, responding to 2 people is quite crazy :)... use fdisk to check the partition [04:57] I'll try reinstalling amarok now..

[05:24] luminrd: lowercase h, but I think thats it. They keep changing it [05:24] i done an apt-cache search and it was there [05:24] jim_p: I don't think so [05:24] it seriously has to be something really dumb...i cant believe how difficult it is to get started. i actually just expected to run into problems once it was up and running but jeez oh pete === dmsuperman_ is now known as dmsuperman [05:24] danbh_intrepid: hmm, nothing found.. I'll google some [05:24] thanks for the advice [05:24] WalkingAsterisk: is vmware-server in apt? well i would pay you for the deb for sure!!! [05:24] luminrd: Sys > Admin > Hardware something [05:25] so... ive only been on ubuntu for a day... ive installed the compiz fusion and emerald... but when i go to hardware it only brings up the empty choices. im running 950 video on a toshiba laptop.. anyone have any ideas because ive only got two screens id like 4 and the cube [05:25] WalkingAsterisk: can you please find me the repo?

[05:26] blak: killall gnome-panel [05:26] well...its back to the forums i guess [05:26] danbh_intrepid: Ah, ok, yeah, it shows the nvidia device and it is checked "in use"... I know the driver is there but obviously something's wrong :/ [05:27] i can no longer open files with vlc via context menu... though in terminal it works fine [05:27] i think vlc works better here than windows xp [05:27] also i can open same files with other progs via context menu [05:27] Guest51478: right click > open with? [05:27] yeah, doesn't work [05:27] i need instructions to install swifterfox plz? [05:28] hi gotta question -- i am playing with other distros (have had ubuntu for 1+ years and love it). can i run a virtual machine within ubuntu to access other versions i have installed?

[05:30] hmm [05:30] i need some ubuntu compiz fusion help... [05:30] jim_p told me that the kernal needed something not supported by my cpu (after install and reboot) [05:31] my vlc problem began after upgrade to ibex beta...

[05:34] i think linux hate a lot of people lol...look how many people are in the chat :) [05:34] jim_p, i am running 8.04 server edition, not sure the vbox version [05:34] but its so much faster now... with xp it was dragging. with linux its like lightning [05:34] rebel_kid: thats what i want to know! [05:34] can someone recommend a way to have a command execute completely regardless if i lose my ssh command and/or logout? [05:35] Doc8404: are the two monitors that are currently working one the same video card or different? [05:35] rroblak: sudo apt-get update && logout ? [05:35] FlyerFanatic: you are in one of the hardest parts of linux, hardware support. Especially for new hardware. Thats why I was suggesting the beta [05:35] no no i mean... when you push ctrl alt left... ive only got two... im trying to go to four === dmsuperman_ is now known as dmsuperman [05:35] jim_p, well how do i find the vbox version, just installed it today im assuming the current [05:36] Doc8404: 4 physical monitors, correct? [05:36] ohhh...so maybe even just wait for the new version at the end of the month?

[05:37] jim_p 1.5.6 [05:37] yeah... im trying to figure out how to go from two workspaces to four workspaces [05:37] alright well i'll d-load it tommorow...hopefully it works [05:37] hey, is the 8.04 CD a live cd or just the install? [05:37] (i have gentoo on another partition) [05:37] its both evanr [05:37] ok good [05:38] i need to do a rescue [05:38] Doc8404: do you see the workspace switcher in the lower left? [05:38] lower left or right danbh? [05:38] Doc8404: yes, the right : ) [05:38] yeah [05:38] Doc8404: right click, hit preferences [05:38] ok [05:39] jim_p: what I finding is that I execute a command that will take a long time [05:39] it says columns two rows one [05:39] jim_p: like an hour [05:39] jim_p: at some point, I lose my ssh connection [05:39] jim_p: and then the command's process is killed [05:39] wow how many can u do? [05:39] jim_p: so I have to reconnect and restart the process [05:40] Hey anyone here have experience with configuring dual monitors with 2 different video cards? [05:41] zerox20: should be able to [05:41] rebel_kid: a) upgrade because you will soon run into dependency problems b) right click on the virtual machine >settings > Advanced > is the checkbox that says "Enable VT-x/AM-V" enabled? [05:41] SexyKen: what type of cards [05:41] jim_p, no it wasnt :( [05:41] ok so now my second question... on hardware i never set up ad 3d driver... but yet i can cube???? wtf lol [05:41] FFEMTcJ: how would i go about doing that? [05:41] FFEMTcJ: Just brand? nVidia [05:42] rebel_kid: what cpu do you have? [05:42] jim_p intel centrino duo pos [05:42] rroblak: then you need to make a script, but since the connection fails, it will be interupted too [05:42] zerox20: you are wanting to just make a VB of a different distro correct? [05:43] rebel_kid: do you know the exact name of the model, like E8400? [05:43] jim_p no i do not [05:43] can't find an answer on google about lack of context menu functionality vlc [05:43] <[Solars]> whats a good free application for connecting to box and starting a X session through this connection... on windows [05:43] FFEMTcJ: well i already have the partitioned space and ahve started a gentoo install, i don't entirely feel comfortable working entirely from taht command line, so i was wondering if there was a way i can run it virtually through ubuntu until i have gentoo configured correctly [05:43] SexyKen:have you tried using nvidia-settings [05:44] FFEMTcJ: Yea, it only shows GPU0 and Screen0 [05:44] rebel_kid: cat /proc/cpuinfo [05:44] zerox20: you would have to create a new virtual install.. i dont believe that you could turn that into a virtual install [05:44] jim_p model 15 [05:45] FFEMTcJ: thats what i figured. thanks for confirming [05:45] np [05:45] hi, i just installed ubuntu because i need linux for school.. anyways i'm supposed to go to the terminal and login as root but i don't remember ever setting a root password, and i just installed this about an hour ago... is there a default or is there even a root user with ubuntu? [05:45] jamieyg3: sudo passwd root < will change it [05:45] rebel_kid: look at this line here (that is mine): model name : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E4500 @ 2.20GHz [05:46] rebel_kid: i am model 15 too [05:46] hi, does anyone use ubuntu eee? [05:46] jim_p, T7300 [05:46] jamieyg3: a better idea is to use sudo -i [05:46] jamieyg3: `sudo -i` will give you a root terminal, there's no need to enable your root account. [05:46] rebel_kid: let me ask intel now [05:46] SexyKen: in Hardware Drivers, does it show two by chance? [05:47] sudo -i seemed to work, thanks guys [05:47] jim_p, lol ok [05:47] ok so i know im a newb... so please bear with me... anyone know what the best firewall/antivirus is for ubuntu [05:47] what are best files to download. (.tar.gz),(.diff.gz) or (.dsc) ? [05:47] doc8404, you dont need a firewall or antivirus linux doesnt have those problems, so dont worry about it :D [05:47] ooo [05:47] FFEMTcJ: In hardware drivers it shows only: "Device Driver: NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (latest cards)" [05:48] rebel_kid: ok your cpu does support the VT-x instruction set, tick on that checkbox [05:48] Doc8404, should always have a firewall but ubuntu has iptables already setup for you [05:48] SexyKen: is linux detecting both of them? [05:48] i used to use bit defender... [05:48] lspci shows both... [05:48] jim_p, and it works, your good :D [05:48] FFEMTcJ: lspci shows both VGA controllers [05:49] rebel_kid: thank you [05:49] DigitalFiz, do you recommend one [05:49] jim_p, you must be some server guru lol, thanks for all your help [05:49] Doc8404, iptables is all you need your good :) [05:50] rebel_kid: now please upgrade your vbox to something that sun has made (i cannot guarantee it is trouble free though, loads of bugs) [05:50] rebel_kid: and you are welcome [05:50] so... ive been reading the blogs... and it says basically office products free, games free, and firewalls all free... wtf is microsofts problem? [05:50] Whats wrong, when I try to write b-letters in firefox after 4 letters it turns to something chinese-based/graphic font?

[05:51] yeah its 10 bucks for ubuntu full programmed [05:52] Doc8404: Download Ubuntu for free, CD-R buy from somewhere, price varies. [05:52] $10 to have someone else install it isnt bad i guess [05:52] or usb stick or floppy/netinstall :-) [05:52] Doc8404: Order CD from ubuntu.com for free.......

[06:01] EvanR: use something else like Gnoppix or Knoppix [06:01] Having problems with wpa_supplicant if anyone wants to try and help I have pasted my logs of the debug errors and my .conf file etc. on the ubuntu forums at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5915029#post5915029 thanks. [06:02] XGas: it may not support my wireless [06:02] or, the dead computers wireless [06:02] hmmm once u kinda get used to linux its a little nicer than windows... speed wise its rediculous. im downloading things at speeds that are incredible [06:02] WalkingAsterisk: no server will play the vms. if you do need something lighter, then go with the player [06:02] ubuntu has a rep for wireless support [06:02] does vbox support hardware acceleration for graphics? [06:02] EvanR: What Wireless chip you have? [06:02] Peddy: I don't think so [06:02] wireless n-mimo the only way to go [06:03] Hmm. i ended up with some web interface thing [06:03] must have ran the wrong command [06:03] Peddy: VMWare Workstation, and Parallels does up to DX9.0b [06:03] Doc8404: Ubuntu or windows, your download speeds shouldn't change [06:03] WalkingAsterisk: i think vmware made a new program recently that makes typical vmware machines, thus you may not need server at all [06:03] hmmm [06:03] XGas: does vmware have 3d acceleration on host oses? [06:03] Doc8404: Unless of course you had a virus on windows causing your dl speeds to be slow [06:03] theres workstation but its not free [06:04] XGas: not sure yet, the computer is dead and i havent booted it up yet in anything to check. ubuntu live cd will take another 2 hours to dl :) [06:04] XGas: I have VMware Workstation, it's extremely unstable, never worked for me so far. What about Parallels, is it stable? [06:04] so on vbox... now i just insert the installation disc and go? [06:04] jim_p: ...... who do you mean. [06:04] XGas: I mean, it's not a supported feature, you have to enable it manually [06:04] Doc8404: Pretty much, it'll tell you when to put it in, but yes [06:04] virtualbox is great tbh. But i cant get the guest to grab an ip from the router [06:05] Peddy: A..... friend of mine (developer), used Parallels to run Team Fortress 2, works fine. (on Mac OS X though) [06:05] XGas: Peddy: VMWare Workstation, and Parallels does up to DX9.0b. wont you need 3d acceleration for this job? [06:05] :( Anyone mind helping me figure out why the same xorg.conf doesn't produce the same results on the same exact hardware?? Gettin a real low resolution I can't seem to shake :( [06:05] jim_p: yes, that is why he has a GeForce 8600m GT on his laptop, so it worked. === vodkanux is now known as vodkanux[taf] [06:06] luminerd: because of a silly mechanism that kicks in because it "found" something bad on the xorg.conf [06:06] jim_p: or you can look at TransGaming's SwiftShader [06:06] base memory size is the size of the program correct [06:06] jim_p: what's your point? [06:06] anyone using ubuntu with Sun VirtualBox? when I try to run the "Install Guest Additions" it says "This program must be run with administrator privileges. Aborting" what do I do?? [06:06] XGas: :O i am damping windows by noon if this is true! [06:07] awww crap you literally have to install windows into vbox? anyone know where you can get a free one?

[06:07] pliss [06:07] XGas: thanks what's the easiest way to do that === lakitu2 is now known as lakitu [06:07] Doc8404: what did you expect, vbox would come with Windows? [06:07] lol i dont have windows of anykind [06:08] jamieyg3: see System -> Administration -> User and Groups [06:08] jamieyg3: in the host os, mount the vbox additions iso and do a sudo sh /media/cdrom/VBox....run [06:08] Your kernel was built with "gcc" version "4.2.3", while you are trying to use [06:08] "/usr/bin/gcc" version "4.2.4". [06:08] how do i fix this? [06:08] are you guys all students?? [06:08] Doc8404: Torrent it o.o I didn't say that [06:08] DigitalFiz: get a new kernel or an old gcc [06:08] lol [06:08] off here? [06:08] jamieyg3: you will also need the kernels headers for that job [06:08] Doc8404: Virtualbox is not a way to circumvent paying for windows. If you want to use windows, you need to pay for it. [06:08] jamiryg3: damn, oops, sorry, got what you asked wrong [06:08] nincompoopy: it has been 4 years since i finished university [06:09] bruenig, i guess i should recompile the kernel any links on how to do that? [06:09] jamieyg3: follow jim_p's instructions, I got what you asked wrong. [06:09] nincompoopy: ubuntu is not really the student OS, hardcore computer science folks tend to roll gentoo or arch or other more serious up to date distros [06:09] !kernel [06:09] The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages [06:10] bruenig: arch is a bit too lazy, just recommend Gentoo, Slackware or LFS === carpedie1 is now known as carpediem [06:10] hmm... so i guess the next question is which torrent program works best in linux... cause im sure as hell not using limewire ever again [06:10] XGas: some CS people are lazy afterall [06:10] where can i find ubuntu bittorrent downloads? [06:10] Doc8404: rtorrent [06:10] What could cause an nvidia machine to run at like 640x480? I ran nvidia-xconfig to no avail [06:10] luminrd: bad configuration [06:10] I am using a xorg.conf that definitely works on an identical machine [06:10] rebel_kid: in ubuntus site! there is an option to download it from torrent [06:10] lemme guess its on the main programs list [06:11] Doc8404: apt-get install rtorrent [06:11] bruenig: Any suggestions to fix said bad configuration? [06:11] luminrd: I don't what the configuration is [06:11] bruenig: basically, anything that uses libtorrent is good. [06:11] libtorrent? [06:11] bruenig: What "configuration" are you talking about? xorg.conf? [06:11] they blocked Demonoid =[....... [06:12] luminrd: can you post your xorg somewhere? here is mine http://7g.pri.ee/mine.conf [06:12] thanks jim_p and XGas for the virtualbox help [06:12] installed rtorrent but its not showing up in apps [06:13] Doc8404: rtorrent is a cli app [06:13] Doc8404: run "rtorrent" in a shell [06:13] whats a shell [06:13] or a cli app lol [06:13] oh no [06:13] ive been doin this two days lol [06:13] the thing you type commands in [06:13] oh the terminal ok [06:14] hey guys, very new to ubuntu ... how do I install beryl [06:14] what program are you trying to run, doc? [06:14] well the terminal displays the shell [06:14] the shell is bash [06:14] hey all [06:14] ubuntu30: Beryl was merged back into Compiz (as Compiz Fusion) [06:14] ubuntu30: compiz-fusion has replaced beryl [06:14] rtorrent [06:14] no, I mean, the windows one [06:15] cool thanks [06:15] I need beta testers for fushi. Fushi is an educational interactive tutorial type of program. [06:15] oh ubuntu compiz fusion [06:15] ubuntu30: and you probably already have it if you installed hardy [06:15] ubuntu30: and it comes preinstalled in Hardy, so the only thing you need to install is compizconfig-settings-manager (and proper drivers for your video card) [06:15] what program do you need windows to run? [06:15] Please join #pulpie if you are interested for beta testing for me. [06:15] streetatlas 2009 lt40gps [06:15] last thing i need to know for tonight... i'm on a laptop with vista, running ubuntu through sun virtualbox.. anways, when it's just vista running my laptop fans stay off for the most part (they only come on during heavy processing).. now with ubuntu running, the fan goes on.. off..on..off.. about once per second, no matter how much processing is being done, any fixes for this?

[06:16] yeah wine cant make the maps [06:16] it crashes [06:16] already done the drivers, will chase down compizconfig ... ty [06:16] bob, not asking for myself [06:16] and i tried typing run rtorrent nothing happened [06:17] transmission torrent client should come installed by default [06:17] digdug: Understood, I'm just an informant :D [06:17] Doc8404: Just install Azureus and be done with it. [06:17] sudo apt-get install azureus? [06:17] Doc8404: well, I'd say do it from Add/Remove [06:17] or just use transmission, check your applications menu, it might already be installed [06:17] Doc8404: but that will also work [06:18] Doc8404: he's right, transmission should be already installed [06:18] no transmission [06:19] my computer isn't slow, but is there a way i can speed it up anymore? without purchasing hardware [06:19] Doc8404: it comes default with Hardy, so not sure...its under Internet [06:19] jim_p: yeah, I will in a sec, though as far as I can see it's identical to the one I'm using on this machine, which works fine [06:19] yea it sucks lol [06:19] droopsta915: I'd suggest trying Xubuntu [06:19] droopsta915: I prefer Gnome, but XFCE is smoking fast.

[06:41] hi... could anyone suggest the software for ripping audio from a video file? [06:42] daquino: I think you can mount iso's [06:42] yes i know how to mount iso's [06:42] i just wnat to point my sources at the iso or an extraction of it ... [06:42] that doesnt do it?

When I am trying to reach .21 or .66 from a machine on 10.200.2.11, it works fine. There is a Linux gateway running at 10.200.3.10 which has a 255.255.0.0 mask as does all of the other devices. [06:44] danbh_intrepid: what? [06:44] daquino: nvm, I don't know [06:45] oooh i got one for you guys... if i write something in the word processor in ubuntu will it run in microsoft office?

[06:48] i saw a thing that looked like a mac icon bar... where do we find those? [06:49] hi. What do you do if your keyboard/pc suddenly switches to 'counter strike layout'? you know where underscore takes ? button and all that stuff [06:49] it's annoying [06:49] Doc8404, http://themes.beryl-project.org/ try there look into installing emerald [06:49] i installed emerald... [06:49] joejoecircusboy: I'm sorry - the Linux gateway CAN ping .66. [06:50] DigitalFiz, i installed emerald [06:50] DigitalFiz: found something similar.. to what u said... i'v been using vlc for so long but i never noticed this!!!:-D [06:50] joejoecircusboy: This is fairly random. I have checked the settings on printers that can be seen and those that cannot be seen. Unfortunately, something on 10.200.1.x MUST be able to see printers at 10.200.2.x - 10.200.7.x by morning. [06:50] DigitalFiz, all i got from it was the cube system and a couple other little things [06:51] linux turns 17 today as it seems [06:51] happy birthday [06:51] Doc8404, go to that link i posted and look at the themes [06:52] bdunn: you at work?

I think something is wrong here. Why do I keep ending up with 2 copies of xorg running, and taking up so much memory! (333m 124m)? [06:56] ciao [06:57] joejoecircusboy: These are just examples of course. 10.200.2.21 Printer 10.200.2.66 Printer 10.200.3.10 Linux gateway 10.200.2.11 Windows server 10.200.1.11 Windows server Everything can ping 10.200.2.66, but nothing outside of 10.200.2.x can ping 10.200.2.21. There are many examples like this of printers that cannot be reached while others can. All of these machines have masks of 255.255.0.0 and the gateway of 10.200. [06:57] Can I safely kill the one that's using no cpu? [06:57] idamn.. all I get when try to install is "Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 0' non stop, then a black screen [06:58] how do you fix your keyboard layout if ? has switched places with _ and all that stuff [06:58] oh, maybe its my keyboard, lol [06:59] bdunn: Can 10.200.1.11 ping the linux gateway? [07:00] Yes [07:01] bdunn: Can the linux gateway ping 10.200.2.21? [07:01] joejoecircusboy: No [07:01] bdunn: does 'arp -a' on the linux gateway show a MAC address for 10.200.2.21?

Try pinging again and checking the arp table right afterwards (use grep) [07:05] ah that worked [07:05] opera has what you will see as a default in a browser tomorrow, today === LSD|Ninj4 is now known as LSD|Ninja [07:05] Doc8404: and for wall papers u need to change them separately [07:05] pretty much like the mercedes s-class [07:05] can someone help me with gdesklets?

[07:07] i spent like 2 hours trying to get gdesklets to work [07:07] with gdesklets i had problem [07:07] joejoecircusboy: 10.200.3.10 [07:07] i install it and then i try to start it it fails [07:07] davidryder: i just use the Links menu from the side panel to get the links, copy them on list.txt and wget gets the rest done [07:07] bdunn: this is one signel switched network, correct? (there are no routers involved) [07:07] *single [07:08] davidryder: if someone is capable of making a script out of it... [07:08] I'm running 2.6.24... and when I view 'dmesg' it prints out numbers before each message.... which I know are the number of seconds since boot. But is there a way to make it display the time and date that message occured? it's kind of annoying that I don't know if errors that it prints happened today or last week.

[07:09] yeah i had one but it wouldnt work [07:10] electrofreak: if you open /var/log/messages, either with cat or some text editor, you will get the dmesg output + the date [07:10] Doc8404: use screenlets [07:11] jim_p, actually, I just discovered /var/log/kern.log. [07:11] thanks [07:11] electrofreak: you are welcome [07:12] bdunn: hmm, haven't played with MPLS before.... but this sounds like a screenlets is for amd64? [07:13] bdunn: are the various '/24s' within your network handled differently at the MPLS layer? [07:13] Hentay: yes they work on amd64 also [07:13] electrofreak: you could also try dmesg | tail [07:13] it will print out the last several errors [07:13] huh ok than... because gdesklets don;t work on it [07:14] joejoecircusboy: I don't believe so... this is pretty much a large ethernet connection somewhat invisible to the local network. Everything connected at 100MBs just like a local LAN. Transparent. [07:15] Hentay: did you get screenlets working? [07:15] System|Preferences|Screenlets [07:15] bdunn: hmm.. ok. Can anthing outside of 10.200.2.x reach a host in 10.200.2.x? [07:16] Yes, for example 10.200.1.11 can ping and reach 10.200.2.66 (printer) but not 10.200.2.21 (printer). [07:16] ns identify passwd [07:16] Can the linux gateway reach 10.200.2.66? (i.e. does ARP work) === pronoy is now known as pronoy_ [07:17] i just realised the value of the terminal.

[07:19] What is the command about:config in Firefox 3.0 for? [07:19] bdunn: Can the prints be assigned multiple addresses? (2.21 specifically) [07:20] *printes [07:20] bah [07:20] joejoecircusboy: No, only one address. [07:20] is there a /home backup on the livecd? [07:22] bdunn: are the problematic printers in another building or somewhere remote from the working ones? [07:22] can i install xampp on ubuntu-7.10? [07:22] No, they can be next to each other. [07:23] bdunn: do the non-working printers share something in common (like say make or model) [07:23] joejoecircusboy: No. Tough one huh? :-( [07:23] bdunn: ya! [07:24] bdunn: is this a new network?

[07:26] joejoecircusboy: Every network was different, but they were public IPs everywhere and routers connecting them together. They were on the private side but had public IPs. Total mess.

[07:36] davidryder: Ok. [07:36] apples good for ya [07:37] prob in gambas help to solve ? [07:37] !nvidia [07:37] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [07:37] WIGGMPk: Weird. I have no idea then. If you want to try on a lark to see if it is the same problem I had (and you were using pulseaudio): open a terminal and run pulseaudio. That was how I figured it out (audio should suddenly start working if that's the problem) [07:39] dialman: lol you were right about it but it wasnt pulseaudio.. i ran "sudo alsa force-reload" and all my system sounds ran [07:39] Nice [07:39] dialman: how can I prevent this from hanging... or not loading every time? [07:39] You are asking the wrong guy- I am pretty new to linux :) [07:39] I just happened to have some somewhat helpful advice this time :) [07:39] davidryder: thanks :) [07:40] dialman: well thanks for the helpful advice [07:40] Hentay: you like? [07:40] yes [07:40] :) [07:40] sweet :D [07:40] one sreenlet rulez [07:40] system monitoring [07:40] :) [07:40] yeah [07:40] i like that one too [07:40] others is so so :) [07:40] So, does anyone know how to prevent ALSA from hanging on start? [07:41] i don't use alsa [07:41] yeah i got bored with the others... i don't really see my desktop enough [07:41] davidryder: excatly :) [07:41] anyone here know how to change the background... not the one on the workspaces, the one outside the cube [07:42] davidryder: do u use xmms? [07:42] no i use rhythmbox [07:42] i'm a big fan of id3 tags and i like being able to filter my library by genre artists and album [07:42]  Doc8404: see the in preferences> advanced desktop effect settings [07:43] huh [07:43] :( [07:43] i want to browse my library by folders :D [07:43] macvr, ok [07:44] that's how i used to do it [07:44] i have ~9000 songs now though [07:44] how do u install a .tar.bz2 [07:45] i have only 4048 songs :( [07:45] m3thod: install what? program or theme? [07:45] and all are metal [07:45] holy crap [07:45] that makes sense then [07:46] program [07:46] m3thod: bz2 is an archive, the install files are likely inside the archive [07:46] m3thod: unrar x file.tar.bz2 [07:47] macvr: i didnt see the option to change it, what was i looking for [07:49]  Doc8404: if have compiz installed? right? see in preferences> advanced desktop effect settings>desktop> appearance tab> skydome... in that add a skydome image [07:50] linuxPkg_5.07.tar.bz2 would be different if installed driver [07:50] ? [07:50] I think I already tried every audio setting for VLC media player, but some videos have audio that only plays in Mplayer, but not VLC. but I want to use VLC because MPlayer doesn't let me resize the window while keeping the aspect ratio. [07:50] macvr: ill look again. but yeah i have compiz but never saw that [07:51] Doc8404: its there... just change skydome [07:51] Chaotic_Descent: where did u change for audio settings...in vlc or gsrtream [07:52] i dont have a skydome setting???? [07:52] macvr: in VLC. [07:52] macvr: i dont have a skydome thing???? [07:52] join #compiz-fusion [07:52] hi, I need help with python qscintilla configuration, since an application using it (Eric4) complains that my locale (qscintilla_es_UY) could not be loaded. I'm sort of lost ... would gladly accept help [07:52] macvr: its underadvanced in mine [07:53] I installed the qt4 and qscintilla packges from with synaptic (ubuntu 8.04) [07:53]  Doc8404: u r not looking.... in the desktop section... desktop cube... appearance tab...

[07:54] cdrom doesn't mount cds after suspend...what can i do? [07:55] da się zrobić jace w ubuntu [07:55] ?? [07:55] macvr: default. but like I said, I'm pretty sure I've tried them all. [07:56] what would cause poor respoance from evoulition? Mine is slow when connecting to an IMAP server and I now have 7 e-mails (sending via SMTP) sitting in my outbox that refuses to send [07:56] ubuntu [07:56] macvr: hrm... well in the case of this particular video, ALSA seems to work. :S [07:56] Anyone ever have trouble with SD cards from cameras? I have no idea what the issue is but on several cards with many photos, after a certain point, the photos can't be copied or opened with eye of gnome. No problems from these cards in my camera or on my laptop running debian. === pronoy is now known as pronoy_ [07:57] Chaotic_Descent: change the gstream to pulse and set vlc to use alsa.... i had similar probs with vlc audio .. and this worked for me [07:57] DaCapn: do you unmount before puling the card out? [07:57] DaCapn: even if you dont write something on it [07:57] Eye of gnome gives the following error: Error interpreting JPEG image file (Improper call to JPEG library in state 200). Nautilus just gives an I/O error. [07:58] Yes, I always unmount. [07:58] macvr: i had to activate it under advanced settings... but under desktop it didnt exist [07:58] DaCapn: do they automount in ubuntu and in debian? [07:58] Since they work fine in two other devices I have doubts that I've caused any trouble with the filesystem or caused corruption of files. [07:59] Yes. Perfectly fine. [07:59] hmz... maybe someone can tell me with witch music player i can browse my music by folder names [07:59] hello guys [07:59] need help here [07:59] what's gstream? [07:59] Hentay: audacious ? file > open ... [08:00] i want to install gimp 2.6 [08:00] * _adrenaline uses audacious [08:00] like0537: you have to wait until 8.10 [08:00] hmz... [08:00] Chaotic_Descent: in sound preferences what are u unsing? [08:00] i;ll try it [08:00] im using hardy heron 8.4 [08:00] gstream totem fucks alot [08:00] i think something very hard to discover has broken in my ubuntu. Is it adviseable to tell all the installed packages to re-install ? [08:01] if I want to run apt-proxy, how much disk space do I need? give me a bound, an average... [08:01] macvr: what sound preferences? [08:01] any gimp user here === pronoy is now known as pronoy_ [08:01] Chaotic_Descent: panel>preferences> sound [08:02] like0537: you must wait until 8.10 comes out and upgrade it with the rest of the installation. otherwise, use backports (if it can be found there) or build it from source [08:02] how about using ssh [08:02] Ok, so I wanna try PulseAudio, but what do I select on the Default Mixer Track, I have two options that say PulseAudio, Capture and Playback.. What do I select for the Device? [08:02] macvr: just the defaults. I've never been in there [08:02] <_adrenaline> like0537, what about ssh? [08:02] ah ok thanks [08:02] like0537: ssh for what job? [08:02] i want to something about ssh specially making keys? [08:03] Chaotic_Descent: u need to tinker a bit there... i was havin audio problem in vlc similar to urs [08:03] what happens if I mount the partition with windows on in ubuntu_ [08:03] tunneling, copying etc [08:03] <_adrenaline> What do you want to know? [08:03] any good tutorials here [08:03] if I want to run apt-proxy, how much disk space do I need? give me a bound, an average... anyone? [08:03] should I upgrade to ubuntu 8.10? [08:03] like0537: i cant help you there. all i do is control another pc though ssh [08:04] nianjoia: not yet! [08:04] ah ic [08:04] hi all [08:04] Hello mandh! [08:04] finally! someone answers me! [08:04] lol [08:04] lol hi [08:04] got another questioni for you jim [08:04] thats a good idea what would i do then to cotrol t? [08:04] can I browse my windows files in ubuntu if I mount the win partition from ubuntu? [08:04] i have ubuntu that freeze suddenly [08:04] is there a repair utility for evoulition? [08:04] nianjoia: hit it! [08:04] what is a good program for converting a PAL dvd to ntsc? [08:04] i upgrade the system and still freeze "kernel panic" [08:04] greenthumb: yes [08:05] Im new to ubuntu..but i must say i like ti way better than vista [08:05] nianjoia how can you compare vista with ubuntu? [08:05] nianjoia: i suppose this means you have to recode the dvd? [08:05] yes [08:05] sweet raheem, thx [08:05]  nianjoia: avidemux... might work [08:06] ah ok ic [08:06] mandh: what's the kernel panic say? [08:06] nianjoia: or mandvd? or i am wrong [08:06] jim_p: CAN U GIVE ME A GOOD TUTORIAL ON SSH UBUNTU [08:06] well I have to convert .vob files... [08:06] greenthumb: yeah, you need the ntfs or fat32 file system drivers for linux [08:06] What should be the Default Mixer Tracks: Device if I wanna use PulseAudio.. I have two options, Capture & Playback.. which one should i use? or do I still use HDA NVidia (Alsa mixer)???? [08:06] hm [08:06] !ssh [08:06] SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ [08:06] like0537: like what? i connect to the other pc as a user and do its upgrades etc [08:06] I'll check em out [08:07] sleepster, humm let me search about it , but like interrupt ... [08:07] hmmm... [08:07] sleepster: oh.. well it works fine just mounting it, i'm playing mp3's from it in amarok now [08:07] thanks jim_p [08:07] mandh: it could be several things.. why did the kernel panic occur? did you build your own kernel? [08:07] anyone awake here? [08:08] * _adrenaline is sleeping [08:08] * raheem is asleep [08:08] can i change the screen res from terminal? [08:08] * sleepster is sleeping [08:08] This SD card issue is kind of strange too. The last image that can be read at all on the card renders with the bottom half black in eye of gnome and it similarly can't be copied. [08:08] sleepster: how come my headphones cant play very loud in ubuntu? Everything is turned all up, mastersound, amarok, my headphones [08:08] but it's way louder in windows [08:08] sleepster, no not build it is from the os itself [08:08] The total size of all of the files that can be copied is close to 1GB. [08:09] greenthumb: you should turn up PCM pulse code modulation [08:09] DaCapn: are you sure it was unmounted properly everytime in its lifetime? [08:09]  greenthumb: that seems to be the only prob for a lot ... volume is lower than in windows [08:09] greenthumb: see the volum control in the top right... there is a properties menu.. right click and you want to turn up PCM [08:09] jim_p What are you proposing is happening if that isn't the case? [08:09] mandh: what kind of hardware are you using? [08:09] And to that, the answer is YES. [08:10] mandh: I've never had a problem with kernel panics on a fresh machine.. only when they are self-inflicted [08:10] sleepster: I see the pcm, but I dont know how to turn it up [08:10] oh there [08:10] sleepster, whan u mean? me i dbout with hw [08:10] it plays great now. thanks a lot [08:10] greenthumb: it should allow you to enable it in your volume.. you select it.. [08:10] mandh: ? [08:10] sleepster, hardware [08:10] greenthumb: great to know it works :) [08:11] greenthumb: np [08:11] :-) [08:11] DaCapn: i had pulled a CF card one out without unmounting it . it had like 200 photos inside and i lost some 4-5 [08:11] can i boot with resolution parameters? [08:11] jim_p: what file system were you using? [08:11] What I said was that these photos can be read and accessed fine on my camera and in my laptop running debian. [08:11] Spinac1: ? [08:12] !resolution [08:12] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto [08:12] The files are there and are contiguous. [08:12] Spinac1: the best thing is to let yoru video card configuration tool do it [08:12] sleepster: on my drive? ext3 [08:12] jim_p: hmm.. I am surprised you lost any data [08:12] ext3 of your CF card? [08:12] jim_p: unless you were in the middle of the copy I guess [08:12] how come the play list in amarok clears it self out after every restart of the program? I just drag the files into the playlist. [08:13] greenthumb: you can save them [08:13] hello all [08:13] Hello briguyd! [08:13] the problem is i cant see x now that i changed my res to unsupported res so now just getting bad signal input blank screen. but i have a command prompt === glade88 is now known as glade88|AFK [08:13] * sleepster goes back to reading... [08:13] i recently seemed to have messed up my hard drive [08:13] yeah.. but like in winamp they just stay in the playlist without you having to have som playlist file saved [08:14] sleepster: no on the card i have fat32! i thought you said on the drive [08:14] amm maybe someone is using autocad on ubuntu? :) [08:14] it appears in lsusb and dmesg, but it doesn't show under /dev as it used to and i can't mount it [08:14] can anyone please help me work it out? [08:14] Spinac1: can't u try the ALT CTL + combination ? i guess ti should work [08:16] briguyd: filesystem? [08:16] it was ntfs [08:17] hmm, is it normal that video quality is worse in ubuntu than in windows? i've installed vlc, dno about codecs [08:17] it worked fine until earlier today when i was moving it betweena vista and os x computer [08:17] hi [08:17] Hentay: AutoCAD doesn't work on Ubuntu. There's a few Windows CAD programs that work so-so on Wine, and there's a few Linux-native CAD programs. [08:17] Spinac1: or from the command prompt, type sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf , put the resolution that worked [08:17] In ubuntu, why can only 1 audio file play? if you try 2 simultaneously only 1 audio file works [08:17] greenthumb: should be the same [08:17] Hentay: use qcad [08:18] jim_p, and it is the same like autocad? [08:18]  greenthumb: what graphics card are u using? [08:18] Hentay: roughly the same [08:18] hmz... [08:18] as usualy [08:18] macvr: nvidia geforce 9800gtx [08:18] let's try :) [08:18] Hentay don't expect compatibility. [08:18] Hentay: depends on what you do. for me gimp is NOT similar to photoshop no matter what [08:19] morning [08:19] DaCapn, i need it :) [08:19]  greenthumb: nvidia should give an output nearly as good as windows [08:19] briguyd: have you "safely removed" it from xp? [08:19] Hentay: As someone that's used both AutoCAD and QCad, AutoCAD is light-years ahead. QCad is good for some 2D stuff, but not nearly as robust as AutoCAD. Try it, though [08:19] or if i'll try to load autocad using wine? [08:19] Hentay: wine or virtualization [08:19] Hentay installations of AutoCAD after 2000 require .NET framework. This is notoriously a problem for wine and similars. Mono doesn't show additional promise. [08:19] AutoCAD doesn't work with Wine [08:20] whit [08:20] :/ [08:20] shit* [08:20] Hentay: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:20] I've used AutoCAD 2006 by running it inside a WinXP VM with qemu. [08:20] jim_p: it's not recognized under xp anymore === c0de1|off is now known as c0de1 [08:21] or OS X for that matter [08:21] That's the best you'll probably get... which is a lot better than some dual-boot nonsense. [08:21] macvr: okay, i have only seen a small bit in windows of the avi file i'm testing with, so it might just suck and i don't remember. i'll try with a dvd [08:21] briguyd: what drive is it? wd? [08:21] what is wrong with dualboot DaCapn ? [08:22] Hentay: about wine and autocad >> http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=86 [08:22] Nothing if you don't mind restarting your machine when you want to do something different. [08:23] Hentay people have had success with autocad r14 [08:23] DaCapn: i spend 90% of my time in linux [08:24] I can understand dual boot for people who want to play games. Anything else... the juice isn't worth the squeeze in my opinion. [08:25] how come i cant extract rar files on my windows drive from ubuntu.? is that impossible? [08:25] And I'm just guessing that he isn't interested in rebooting every time he wants to use AutoCAD. [08:25] has anyone made a silent install with ubuntu? [08:25] jim_p: seagate [08:25] greenthumb if you can mount the partition theres no reason you shouldnt be able to access any non encrypted fiels [08:26] DaCapn: AutoCAD uses as much as or more memory than many games [08:26] where to look for the path to Tcl/Tk [08:26] I tried to follow instructions from here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=883017 with little success [08:26] does the ubuntu-server cd have LTSP on it? === e is now known as Guest93348 [08:26] DaCapn: i do dualboot for photoshop and games. and dont tell me to use gimp. for what i want, gimp is far behind [08:26] koshari: i cant mount it. so that's weird. I got all these rar archives all together containg a dvd movie. you know like .r00, .r01 and so on [08:26] greenthumb: check if u have ntfs-3g,ntfs-config.... should be there [08:26] generated disk image boot fails in bootcdproberoot script failures [08:26] or is that just the alternate cd for the normal desktop install [08:27] DaCapn: i dont mention premiere... [08:27] macvr: how do i check that? [08:27] jim_p I'm not telling you to do anything. Do what you like.

[08:28] greenthumb: see if u have the 2 packages? === _spiderz is now known as spiderz [08:28] koshari: it says something about the archive aint supported. but it's normal rar files [08:29] briguyd: chances are that your drive is ... dead :( [08:29] Hi, what's the best way to get a Finnish locale settings but English traslations in all applications? [08:29] TeslaTony I've found that the bottleneck for AutoCAD in qemu is image rendering. At least on the machine I did it on. This was without the kqemu module. It was ridiculous if you had many lines visible. [08:29] greenthumb you need to install the rar codec, "sudo apt-get install rar" [08:29] but would it show up in dmesg? [08:29] what man page would i look at for bluetooth connection [08:29] !list [08:29] Hi!

[08:30] briguyd: if it is damaged, no [08:30] DaCapn: It'd be really nice if AutoDesk put out a Linux client. But until then, I'm stuck with Windows. [08:31] greenthumbif you can see the files the drive is mounted fine [08:31] hi, can I use a fiesty repository in ubuntu hardy? will it cause problems? [08:31] greenthumb: just check the box to install and it will do the install [08:31] hi all. I had to kill update-manager (Ctl+Alt+Bkspace), Now it's complaining about not getting a lock. can I just delete /var/cache/apt/archives/lock ? [08:31] koshari: i can see the files, i can play avi and mp3 files from there, but i cant extract my dvd movie [08:31] greenthumb: check if u are having applications>archive manager... it should have the default rar plugin [08:31] greenthumb you need to install the rar codec, "sudo apt-get install rar" [08:31] TeslaTony Yeah, I agree, it's not really feasible for an architect/designer to use it for all of their work purposes inside qemu. [08:32] ndlovu: you killed it the wrong way. use killall next time [08:32] jim_p, how do I know what the process name is? === e is now known as Guest95334 [08:32] greenthumb so open a terminal, paste the line i posted (without quotes) into a terminal and your away [08:33] koshari: when i try to install it says E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/) is another process using it? [08:33] ndlovu: you just says it was update-manager! [08:33] greenthumb close the synaptic or update app you have open [08:33] briguyd: sorry mate, i am out of ideas for the drive [08:33] greenthumb: close synaptics package maager and try again [08:33] greenthumb, and use sudo [08:33] jim_p, the only program I could find with update in it was update-notifier, and I wasn't sure it was the same thing [08:34] ok i'm positive now. hardy is much buggier than feisty [08:34] ndlovu: kill it! [08:34] macvr: ah, its installing now :) Hentay, of course [08:34] i wish i'd stuck with feisty [08:34] w00t I can extract the rar files now :D [08:34] thanks all [08:34] jim_p, next time I'll do that :) right now I'm stuck with a lock - can I just delete the lock file? [08:34] thats over 2 machines too [08:35] greenthumb and you can install a package :-) [08:35] how soon until hardy is stabler? anyone know? [08:35] what do you mean? havent i always been able to do that? [08:35] ndlovu: sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/lock and cross your fingers [08:35] a package is the ones you install from add/remove right?

[10:07] what the fuck [10:07] I have re-complie my Xubuntu 7.x's kernel, if I update to Xubuntu 8.1 will my kernel be "over-written" ? or it will just the same config file ? [10:07] why did you choose xubuntu, why not any other linux distro [10:07] that's what i'm asking [10:07] person, why ubuntu ? it is suppose to be the most friendlier by now IF you are a windows user you will find this distribution easier to use than the other ones if you are a ubuntu user [10:08] cuz different ppl have different preferences [10:08] does anyone know how I can authenticate myself using wget on identi.ca/api/statuses/update.xml ?

[10:09] word [10:09] person, there will be an upgrade to ubuntu soon 8.10 I think, IM excited!

[10:11] noriyuki: is there any other software like macromedia flash for ubuntu ??

[10:35] round about that year.. [10:37] lol 100 is plenty [10:37] think largest kerenl ive compiles was only 3 mb lol [10:38] python [10:38] compiled* [10:40] what if I store about 3,4 kernels, how large should be /boot? [10:40] stay with 100 [10:40] The program 'memcached' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: [10:40] apt-get install memcached [10:40] is that all i have to do [10:40] ? [10:41] I'd suggest you make /boot bigger than 100mb, or you'll have problems distupgrading Ubuntu [10:41] hateball: how large? [10:41] i know mate has 2/3 and one kernel is 15mb and he still hasnt used whole 100 yet [10:42] yo yo yo [10:42] 안녕하세요 [10:43] aussie_nutt: that might be true if you compile your own kernels [10:43] 흠 [10:43] error404notfound: I'd say 200, and make sure to clean out unused kernels before you upgrade [10:43] suppose I have 40GB HD, tell me if this sound okay: 700MB swap, /home 10G, /var 5G, /boot 100M, /usr 5G, remaining for / [10:43] towa2k: all you are writing are sqares on my display [10:44] error404notfound: how much RAM do you have?

[10:46] error404notfound: ive never put /usr on a seperate partition myself [10:47] what is the hold up on google chrome? i thought it would be out for linux the next day? [10:47] Only reason to put /boot on it's own would be to use something like ext2 instead, for whatever minimal speed gains that might give [10:47] error404notfound: put all your apache docs and the like in your home dir then you can backup in one swoop [10:47] I want to do anything to get Ubuntu working better, and as I suppose it's slow due to bad drivers, would it be possible to use ndiswrapper to run the win-drivers? [10:48] gregge: absolutely [10:48] is there a site somewhere that lists some serious pros/cons between debian and ubuntu [10:48] *cry* [10:49] guess its ppl choices there action with dif partitions [10:49] idimmu: http://www.linux.com/forums/topic/1227 [10:49] some say some things others say others [10:49] ActionParsnip: Cool.

[10:49] as i need to sell switching from debian to people in power [10:49] ActionParsnip: ta [10:49] I upgraded to 8.10 and now the internet-icon is just gone.

[10:53] hi, does anyone know how to install Cisco VPN on Ubuntu? thanks [10:53] yeah... sure that will have to do [10:53] idimmu: then they need to research, just like before investing any sort of time or money into anything [10:53] afancy ... I did it a while ago, it was easy .. read the manual, search google [10:53] if the only 'difference' is personal preference then by definition ubuntu is a waste of time [10:54] ActionParsnip: and im doing that research at the moment to sell my point of view :D [10:54] idimmu: what choice are you speaking of [10:54] switching from debian to ubuntu [10:54] chronographer: Could u share it with me? as yesterday, it cost me much of time, but i still couldnot make it work. [10:54] idimmu: most ive talked to think Ubuntu IS linux (no ther distros) and they get confused when i mention other distros [10:54] ActionParsnip: I just read about ndiswrapper and it doesn't say anything about the ability to use graphics drivers [10:54] um... I can't remember sorry [10:55] hello.. I screwed something with apache2 configuration in /etc so I removed /etc/apache2 dir, then I did "apt-get purge apache2 apache2-common" and "apt-get install apache2" and now /etc/apache2 dir is still not there... how could I fix this?

[10:56] I've tried several drivers, and it works well for games, but everything else is way too slow.. Yes, I use the one Envy recommended now [10:57] gregge: have you tweaked your xorg.conf any to get better preformance [10:58] ActionParsnip: No, could it make a significant improvement? Everything is working really nice in XP, but i want to use Ubuntu [10:58] gregge: it works in XP as the driver support in xp is awesome [10:59] gregge: you are now using ubuntu which isnt xp [10:59] chronographer: There is soem errors when i install it [10:59] what are they?

I'll see what info I can get on it [11:07] ikonia, that was not a nick change for sleeping or away, that was my internet dieing and rebel_kid disconnecting, then x chat reconnecting under an alternate because rebel_kid was a ghost, after ghosting i nicked back to rebel_kid that had nothing to do with being away or sleeping [11:07] rebel_kid why are you arguing this, it was just a polite request [11:08] ikonia, i found it rude, seeing as how the message "rebel_kid quit(nick collission from services)" came first [11:08] rebel_kid thats your issue to deal with then, just because your connection died, you had another "away" nick idling [11:09] ikonia, you would have seen the same messages had the alternate been rebel_kid_ === alberto is now known as Guest22225 [11:09] rebel_kid yes [11:10] gpgme doesn't seem to work in the beta, looks like a focus bug [11:11] thunderbird and balsa act the same [11:14] I am trying to install SnapLogic.. the installer is complaining that I don't have python dev files installed and according to my package manager this isn't the case.

[11:30] but there demo for him to see if it will [11:30] i dont go for paid sw [11:30] just suggestion [11:30] bazooka: me neoither, some purists hate proprietary too [11:30] it is against the whole concept of open source [11:31] lmao [11:31] Curious as to why all the drives on my system are labeled sd, for example sda, sdb,sdc,sdd. All of these drives are IDE drives and the sdd drive is a USB thumb drive. Why are they labeled as SCSI? [11:31] cant say u never used them though [11:31] smm289: it changed a while ago [11:31] smm289: it's called libata and all disks now show as sd* [11:31] ok, so its normal than [11:32] smm289: very normal and very good [11:32] aussie_nutt: i havent [11:32] I guess that makes my life a little easier, will a cd drive even show up as SD [11:32] linux is not so popular among females ..lol [11:32] lol [11:32] ok even i have a small problem [11:32] i cannot unmount my pen drive [11:33] i have to pull it out without having it properly ejected [11:33] bazooka: sudo umount /mount/path [11:33] it doesnt unmount [11:33] ok let me try [11:34] how do i find its path === M-ERiMiEs- is now known as M-ERiMiEs [11:34] cant u just rite click on lil icon on screen and unmount [11:34] bazooka: type mount in terminal [11:34] it hides the icon of the PD ..but doesnt stop the PD [11:35] Actionparsnip: ok done [11:35] Actionparsnip: now what [11:35] bazooka: read the screen, it will tell you where its mounted (e.g. /mnt/stick) then you can unmount it with sudo umount /mnt/stick [11:36] For some reason the ubuntu partition is labaled as sda2 then under that there is an ext3 sda5 and a linux swap sda6. sda1 is an ext3 file system worth 116GB that used to be my old windows partition. I want to give this space to linux but it won't let me merge it into the ubuntu partition. Would I have to use the live cd to work on the ubuntu partition? [11:36] bazooka: yours will be different as it may be mounted somewhere else [11:36] smm289 extended partition [11:36] ?? [11:36] Actionparsnip: i got this ..../dev/sdb1 on /media/disk [11:36] smm289: sda2 is an extended partition, sda5 and sda6 are logical partitions in the extended partition [11:37] bazooka: fine [11:37] bazooka: sudo umount /media/disk [11:37] how to next/previous rhytmbox using terminal? [11:37] yep, thats what G-parted is telling me [11:37] Actionparsnip: ok trying [11:37] smm289: you can mount ntfs with ntfs-3g [11:37] smm289: you may have some issues with folders containing weird permissions [11:38] Actionparsnip: the PD is still glowing the light [11:38] I don't have any more ntfs files, I formated the old windows partition to ext3 totally killing windows, now I have the left over space that I want to merge into the sda2 or move the sda2 and merge that into sda1 [11:38] bazooka: does it turn off when unmounted normally? [11:38] anyone here know much about demonizing, or I think thats the word anyway? [11:39] Actionparsnip: nope just doesnt ... i pull it out without unmounting [11:39] Hi, I am having a strange problem. I have played with the partitioning of my laptop while ubuntu is installed on one partition, and resized some to create a new one for freebsd. After a free space was created, I moved one ubuntu's partition and swap to the right so I can have the empty space on which I wanted to install DeskTopBSD. When I restarted, everything worked fine and I am logged in to ubuntu. I rebooted and i [11:39] smm289: you could mount it in a folder in ~/ so you can write user data to it === Carnage` is now known as Carnage\ [11:40] smm289: if practical i would reinstall (if this is a new install) and repartition properly [11:40] ActionParsnip: I've reinstalled python and python-dev and it's still moaning that 'I do not appear to have the python development files installed' - SnapLogic is now using python 2.5 so this is not the issue I don't think [11:40] and the NTFS file permission thing is a pain in the $&#@. I have two large storage drives that are ntfs, I can write and read from them fine fron linux but all of the file permissions are set as root and I am unable to change the permisssions. I need another drive so I can start to move things over and then convert them to ext3 [11:40] Actionparsnip: the icon on the desktop gets hidden after unmounting ...but i can still access the PD from the places . and the PD continues to glow [11:40] file ownership I mean [11:40] baz i think some pd mite still have lighton could be bois related there but longs u unmount it should be fine [11:40] mookid: is there a variable you can pass to point the system to the pythin-dev stuff? [11:41] any help will be appreciated :D [11:41] Hello everyone [11:41] Hello drowner29_! [11:41] so erm [11:41] smm289: then you are mounting wrong, Id check your mount UIDs so users can write [11:41] question about uninstalling [11:41] drowner29_: uninstalling what? [11:41] can anyone help me with this ??????????????????/ [11:42] I have my file server setup pretty close to how I want it, with all the programs I use installed and running. If I copy my home folder to a DVD, then format and re-install ubuntu. If I restore my home folder will all my settings and installed programs be restored [11:42] the icon on the desktop gets hidden after unmounting ...but i can still access the PD from the places . and the PD continues to glow [11:42] the icon on the desktop gets hidden after unmounting ...but i can still access the PD from the places . and the PD continues to glow [11:42] I just did an update, and watched it. I noticed there was a bunch of K packages, like kdesktop. I use gnome. The only K thing i think i have installed is Amarok [11:42] bazooka: no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 [11:42] aww [11:42] :( [11:42] Hi, I am having a strange problem. I have played with the partitioning of my laptop while ubuntu is installed on one partition, and resized some to create a new one for freebsd. After a free space was created, I moved one ubuntu's partition and swap to the right so I can have the empty space on which I wanted to install DeskTopBSD. When I restarted, everything worked fine and I am logged in to ubuntu. I rebooted and i [11:42] I can live without Amarok, if I uninstall it, will it uninstall any dependent packages if nothing else needs them? or does kdesktop come anyway? [11:42] drowner29_: then its a dependancy of amarok [11:42] ActionParsnip: do you mean a parameter? === Zorix_ is now known as Zorix [11:43] mookid: yeah, or a defined variable to point to it [11:43] Hi there, I want to secure my flash drive using gdecrypt, does anyone knows how to do that ? Been trying for 3 hours, no luck [11:43] drowner29_: if you uninstall amarok then run sudo apt-get sutoremove [11:43] drowner29_: then all orphaned apps will go [11:43] sutoremove? [11:43] is that a typo? [11:43] drowner29_: good eyes :D [11:44] autoremove [11:44] I can write fine to the NTFS drives, but for example if I have an ISO located on the networked NTFS drive my ubuntu laptop cannot mount those ISO's using G-mount. I am told I do not have permission to do that. I can change the ownership of these files to my self but then they automatically switch back to root. If I copy the iso to my local hard-drive then I can mount it. Google searches says other people with the ntfs structure have n [11:44] the icon on the desktop gets hidden after unmounting ...but i can still access the PD from the places . and the PD continues to glow [11:45] ActionParsnip: I can specify ' Enter the location of the Python executable' and 'Specify the install directory for Python' [11:45] smm289: you just gotta tweak permissions, specially for the username you are connecting over the LAN with, make sure they have full access [11:45] Thanks ActionParsnip. I'll try that... i hope i don't have some other k app somewhere. I dont like having things i dont need [11:45] mookid: looks like a step in the right direction [11:46] think once u unmount it the light still flashing cuz u cant turn off power on usb port [11:46] thats the issue, files that are already located on an NTFS drive hosted by ubuntu, I am unable to change ownership of those files. I can write to the ntfs fine, just that any file placed there ends up with a root ownership that I am unable to change [11:46] ActionParsnip: What are the correct paths for these? [11:47] mookid: no idea man [11:47] If someone can help me with flash on feisty fawn please message me. Thanks. [11:47] is feisty still supported? [11:47] running it now, ActionParsnip. I'll let you know, i'm sure you're interested [11:47] drowner29_: just read the screen. it will tell you what its removing [11:48] its removing kdesktop [11:48] drowner29_: is it removing anything you wanna keep [11:48] ActionParsnip: the help command is throwing up this in a couple of places: ' ***unknown variable default_python_location*** ' - does that mean anything to you? [11:48] nothing that strikes me [11:48] a few things look important [11:48] drowner29_: you can always reinstall [11:49] wait what am i on about. i mean 8.04 [11:49] mookid: i'd /j #python [11:49] !flash | batking [11:49] batking: 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 [11:49] xserver-xorg-video-amd [11:49] looks important, ActionParsnip [11:49] except i dont have an amd anything === bitseven is now known as bit7 [11:50] been removed, i can still see the screen, however [11:50] :D [11:50] thanks, ActionParsnip [11:50] drowner29_: do you have an AMD graphics card? [11:50] No, i dont [11:50] so, i dont know who told it to install that [11:50] drowner29_: then you're ok [11:50] i used to have automatix. i blame that [11:50] drowner29_: dpkg -l | grep xserver-xorg-video [11:51] what will that do ActionParsnip? [11:51] Hi folks - does anyone else feel that Hardy is much less responsive than previous versions? I definitely get more occasions sat looking at a screen which needs to be refreshed while something else is working away. [11:51] drowner29_: theres a few, you can remove the pointless ones if you wanna free up space [11:51] Someone russian? [11:51] !ru [11:51] Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [11:51] ikonia: you beat me to the draw [11:51] ! ru [11:52] i 40? [11:52] и что? [11:52] does anyone know if the intel 8-port sata board SRCSATAWB work on Linux ? [11:52] drowner29_: it lists ALL installed apps then grep filters to show all the ones containg that string [11:52] if I backup my home folder, format and re-install ubuntu, then restore the backup folder are all settings and installed programs restored? [11:52] nice [11:52] Hi, I am having a strange problem. I have played with the partitioning of my laptop while ubuntu is installed on one partition, and resized some to create a new one for DeskTopBSD. After a free space was created, I moved one ubuntu's partition and swap to the right so I can have the empty space on which I wanted to install DeskTopBSD. When I restarted, everything worked fine and I was logged in to ubuntu. I rebooted a [11:52] neil_d check out the hardware compatability list, most intel boards will [11:52] ActionParsnip: most helpful, thankyou [11:52] smm289: yes as long as you backup the hidden folders too [11:52] drowner29_: grep is DAMN powerful [11:53] will a normal copy get the hidden folders ? [11:53] natalisushka: your problem is not there. I can imagine what it is, though [11:53] smm289: dont think so personally [11:53] bazooka : u could write lil script up to put the usb device in suspend mode like windows [11:53] then light go off [11:53] but always unmount first [11:53] ikonia: where is the list ? [11:54] probably should use one of the backup utilities then hu, other than a standard copy [11:54] aussie_nutt:damn how to do that [11:54] drowner29_: then where is it? [11:54] no i mean [11:54] natalisushka: read your message [11:54] natalisushka: the last thing you said was everything worked fine, and you rebooted. === Carnage` is now known as Carnage\ [11:54] cuz i think that reason why light still on cuz windows always goes into suspend mode when not in use and done think linux does that [11:55] so that why light just keeps flashing [11:55] but this is very much in use [11:55] it just never gets unmounted [11:55] !hcl | neil_d [11:55] neil_d: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [11:55] aussie_nutt: gotta love weird hardwrae [11:55] well i find it so strange cuz wat action said it be safe to take out [11:55] drowner29_: yes, I know, but since I am using ubuntu, and it's an operating system that can play with partitions, then I guess I could find help here! [11:55] yes, you can [11:56] and thinking that usb port doesnt go suspend mode like windows so then power still going to it [11:56] action : yeah i know [11:56] but that means it is still mounted ...and the unmount has failed [11:56] natalisushka what is the actual issue, everything seems to be working fine [11:56] natalisushka: What do you want help with? [11:56] natalisushka: the last thing you said was 'everything is working fine and you were logged into ubuntu' [11:56] which is also my current status, too [11:57] hmm maybe [11:57] wat ubuntu u using [11:57] 8.04 [11:57] think 7.04 had unmount bug [11:57] but 8.04 all good [11:57] this is 8.04 [11:57] has 6.06 earlier ..that was fine [11:57] 8.04 never was [11:58] as action said weird hardware but just unmount and wait few seconds and take it out the script really only puts port in suspend mode like windows n light go off [11:58] but u still have unmount [11:59] ikonia: drowner29_ .. I don't know how you see the post but to me the last sentence was : I rebooted and installed DesktopBSD on the free partition, and after that its grub detected ubuntu .. but when I tried to login to ubuntu I received an error in the unix: Error: Unable to mount partition! from DeskTopBSD and live ubuntu CD I am able to see the files of other partitions including ubuntu partition. how can I solve [11:59] hahaha i think pulling it out abruptly is easier [11:59] How do I know which packages were installed the last time I used aptitude? [11:59] ikonia: drowner29_: probably it's the webbased IRC that I am using [11:59] natalisushka: your partition names will have changed as you have been playing with them. You will need to edit /etc/fstab to reflect your new partition names [12:00] lmao if u want do that way then do it [12:00] natalisushka ok, your partition table has changed, so you'll need to make sure your menu.lst is up to date, and grub references the correct partition for menu.lst [12:00] natalisushka: you will need to change this in your ubuntu boot [12:00] natalisushka: as well as what ikonia says [12:00] Hi, how can i know the name of my wireless device? [12:01] but there has to be some fix for this ... [12:02] chester_m: do you mean your accesspoint or the wireless connector in your PC? [12:02] HUNTER_byte: you could search for files modified after a certain date [12:02] wireless connector. It's usb (but internal). I do lsusb, and i pick 0bda:8197 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. [12:03] But what i want is to know the name [12:03] chester_m: lsusb and lspci [12:04] I cannod download new packages in ubuntu [12:04] mrbumba: do you have an internet connection?

[12:05] after all, I'm in irc at this moment [12:05] umgh - yes [12:05] ok [12:05] 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 [12:05] then you want to do: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [12:05] here we go [12:05] stop flooding - I cannot copy text [12:05] mrbumba: paste that into a terminal and you will be fully updated [12:06] that's a decent split [12:06] lil kiddie [12:06] okk === hechw is now known as hechu [12:06] hands up if you [12:06] are on this side [12:06] this is the cool side [12:06] that was just Chuck Norris rebooting his server [12:06] * Grey_Loki laughs [12:06] I'm here [12:06] the icon on the desktop gets hidden after unmounting ...but i can still access the PD from the places . and the PD continues to glow [12:06] and.... we're back [12:07] I have VirtualBox OSE 1.5.2 installed, I want to update to the latest version, but the new version is not listed in my Add/Remove... programs section??

[12:10] ActionParsnip, Ok thanks [12:10] Action: was that supposed to update the VirtualBox software or just update my repository list. I spit out a bunch of text, but I think its just telling me the version of the stuff I have installed [12:10] smm289: i thought you just wanted to know what version you had? [12:10] can anyone help me? I'm trying to install Ubuntu on a machine that runs WinXP fine... it just won't install. It freezes at partitioning... grrr [12:10] aussie_nutt:why you laffin mate [12:11] Hey everyone I keep getting all these problems saying I have the "wrong architecture" when I am installing things. For some reason Ubuntu seems to think I have a 64bit machine even though I dont. I just tried installing Adobe Flash Player and got the following error: ERROR: Your architecture, \'x86_64\', is not supported by the [12:11] Adobe Flash Player installer. [12:11] gholm: did you md5 check the image and cd once it was burned? [12:11] gholm: what are the specs of the machine you are trying to install on? [12:11] i was laughing at action with the / [12:11] naa, I want to upgrade to the latest version, its 2.0.X I have 1.5.6 and 1.5.6 is the only version listed in the add/remove programs section. [12:11] gholm, that's a tough one, what type of system is it, and also run a check on the CD like mentioned above. [12:11] gholm, of both pass, use an external hard drive. [12:11] that fixed the problem [12:12] thank you so much === Carnage` is now known as Carnage\ [12:12] smm289: then you can either compile it or find a repo with the newer one on. does 1.5.6 not work ok for you? [12:12] i am glad my system is stable ... if you neglect the usb problem [12:12] halycon: what does uname -m say? [12:12] id stick with the 1.5 [12:12] lol [12:13] x86_64 [12:13] what is the terminal command to find out network bandwidth usage [12:13] that sounds interesting [12:13] then you are running a 64bit version of ubuntu and you have a 64bit processor. [12:13] Action: ya it works fine, it just has a few bugs, especially in seam-less mode and I think V2 address that, other than that its works perfect, but seeing that its not listed in the add/remove i will just leave it alone [12:13] smm - if not remove the virtualbox then go too sun site and get new one [12:13] mynameistux: good question [12:14] I need to keep an eye on what my server is using [12:14] I kinda need a couple of my XP programs and I dont want to mess up my VM by attempting an update [12:15] ActionParsnip: yeah md5 checked it, dlwlded the alternate disc & did the same... I'm AMD 64bit [12:15] i was hoping the update would be point, click, forget :) [12:15] drowner29_: AMD 64 bit [12:15] think it iftop [12:15] http://www.ubuntu-eee.com/index.php <--- this is interseting I didn't know Ubuntu have this version :o [12:15] ruediix: external harddrive? as the system drive? [12:15] gholm: try booting the live cd with noacpi and nodma [12:16] ActionParsnip: noacpi and nodma ... I'll try it.. what's it mean? [12:16] gholm: id also turn off as much hardwrae in bios to minimise unecessary detection [12:16] i installed ubuntu near pardus and then ubuntu installed its own GRUB but i want to use Pardus's GRUB. How Can i Fix it [12:16] gholm: turns of power management and direct memory access [12:16] ActionParsnip: OK. [12:16] ! I just figured somthing out [12:16] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [12:16] ActionParsnip: the live CD runs fine BTW... just freezes when it hits partitioning [12:16] gholm: it can be good to get systems installed then boot normally to see if its ok, it may have to be a permanent option [12:16] iftop -f icmp will find out how much bandwith users r wasting n y network slow [12:17] (does happy dance) [12:17] gholm: is your disk ok? [12:17] have anyone tried the ubuntu eee version ? [12:17] mynameistux: wtg :D [12:17] ActionParsnip: as far as I know.... [12:17] IamSOG: yeah, its not bad at all [12:17] gholm: check the disk in the live environment [12:17] ActionParsnip: has been running WinXP fine with no complaints for about 4 months [12:17] I can fix my grub problems, by moving /boot to another partition, I am so smart [12:17] ActionParsnip: fsck? [12:17] IamSOG: i prefer puppy though [12:17] gholm: the same :D [12:17] ActionParsnip: kewl [12:18] Oh.. interseting [12:18] I have been running Wuala on linux for about a month now. And after I left things alone I am upto 19days and counting uptime with ubuntu. the most I got from my vista install was about 12 days. GO Ubuntu :) [12:18] XD === uli is now known as Guest65592 [12:19] what is the terminal command to find out network bandwidth usage [12:19] Hey has anyone in here succeeded in installing the X-Fi 32bit drivers?

If in doubt, create a logical partition. [14:48] if one of he two dont work...i think linux wont work...i d-loaded knoppix and that doesnt work either [14:48] soundray, thanks [14:48] flyerfanatic:order the free live-cd, i know it takes weeks [14:48] is there a way to get scanner and webcam support in HARDY [14:48] soundray: last message from the installer is debconf: Obsolete command TITLE configuring mysql-server... [14:49] i guess...but i think its something with my computer and not ubuntu [14:49] X3: depends on your hardware [14:49] X3 is your scanner and webcam supported ?

I'm trying to setup a cron job to do automatic backups. While my command works fine manyally, setting it up in cron wont work. What do I do? [14:50] rjb: perhaps you can deselect the database task as a workaround, and install it with apt-get once the rest of the system is in place. [14:50] yea i dont know what the deal is...it almost seems to me people feel my stuff might actually be to up to date for linux [14:50] canon lide 500f [14:50] strongorder, do you have the cron daemon running?

[15:15] kristjan_eerik: if the problem is that they are too bright, a bit of water-resistant felt-tip pen might be enough.

[15:21] ikonia: meaning lilo on MBR? [15:21] rjb: that can be good on raid if you have a disk issue [15:22] I can only run in vesa [15:22] rjb: no, I use grub [15:22] leafw: do you want the short answer?

[15:23] rjb: they don't want to maintain initrd and the raid modules [15:23] leafw: what's wrong is that NVidia Corp aren't opening the driver.

[15:25] strongorder, have a look at http://paste.ubuntu.com/54651/ it should do the same but a bit more readable [15:25] bheero flash is a closed source product and can't be supported by ubuntu, if it's eating your cpu you may need to talk to adobe [15:25] ikonia, but i dont know if that's true [15:26] bheero check out, use top to monitor your cpu useag [15:26] strongorder, you can leave out the -v when running it from cron [15:26] eusage [15:26] i got it to work!!!! [15:26] woooo === datacrusher is now known as dtcrshr [15:26] leafw: I think jockey-gtk uses a static list of supported cards. Your card probably is not on it.

[15:27] ikonia: well i tried going with the default, & it doesn't work :( [15:27] bheero: use the application "top" to monitor cpu usage, then launch a flash website to see wht your cpu uses [15:27] rjb: is this raid1 ?

[16:01] VSpike: I read ISS7 is only for Windows 6.0, wich means Vista onwards [16:01] ed0n0n: Or server 2008 I guess [16:01] ed0n0n: Server 2008 might be lighter footprint [16:01] Asuka: The Monster is "Vista" because it eats your RAM as a monster [16:01] godzinla ;} [16:01] how do I adjust compiz so I can move the apps on the desktop ? [16:02] ed0n0n: I run XP on Virtualbox on Ubuntu with 1.5G RAM, to run Visual Studio 2008 and it's quicker than running it on Vista on the same machine :D [16:02] which option do I click ?

[16:03] ed0n0n: check your channel list [16:04] ikonia: right, /boot is not split off from / - is that a mistake? [16:04] rjb: if your /boot partition is within lvm - you need to get it outside of lvm [16:04] Is there a Ubuntu gamer chat room? [16:04] Heya [16:04] soundray: ok, thank you [16:04] how can I create a user that only has rights in its ~-directory? [16:04] Anyone From kent??

[16:04] ikonia: would it be ok for it to be on a separate metadevice (no lvm there)? [16:05] I felt like everyone blocking me from my issues. [16:05] Thesmyth take Emacs to edit files [16:05] rjb yes, ~I boot from seperate metadevices, but from within lvm is a no go [16:05] ikonia: yes i'm using lvm on top of raid for / and /var [16:05] rjb: ann and boot is off / [16:06] rjb: so that makes /boot within lvm [16:06] rjb: get it outside of lvm [16:06] How can I find out what version of a command line program I have? [16:06] Winston_SmithVT: such as ? [16:06] Discerer: users have write permissions in their directory and on temp space by default. Read permissions have to be more generous.

I trust that he won't use the scripts to ruin anything, just dont want him to be able to browse the system from his own user :p [16:07] ikonia: should have said so right away (lvm) [16:08] under Command line >help>info [16:08] ikonia: meaning I should have &c.

I want to make it so that any attemps to log out orrestart X or anything makes the computer reboot instead" [16:09] Hi. My sound device seems to have something keeping it busy. I think flash crashing caused it to break. I've killed pulseaudio but when I try and restart it, I get a few errors http://paste.ubuntu.com/54664/ . Any idea how I can find and kill whatever is using the device? [16:10] Discerer: I've heard that people set up a system in a chroot jail for that kind of purpose. Might be overkill if it's only for a one-time transaction [16:10] so if i opened up wubi...does that mean unbuntu is installed or do i gotta go to the umenu.exe to install ubuntu for good? [16:10] cya FlyerFanatic [16:11] ? [16:11] si [16:11] is it hard to do soundray? the idea sounds pretty good, and as somehting that'll teach me about linux user management... guess ill ask google about it [16:11] does anyone know why apachce mod_security was removed from ubuntu? [16:11] Discerer: does it need to be a shell, won't FTP do? [16:11] sorry, apache mod_security [16:12] yeah FTP will do, does it matter MrKennie? [16:12] Discerer: easier using FTP [16:12] Discerer: take it as a pointer... I haven't done anything like that myself [16:12] so if i opened up wubi...does that mean unbuntu is installed or do i gotta go to the umenu.exe to install ubuntu for good? [16:12] how can I stop updates from going through privoxy/tor [16:12] cya FlyerFanatic [16:12] anyone? [16:12] who is sudoconfused? anyone else seeing that [16:13] Discerer: find an ftpd that suites your needs and it's usually just a matter of a small amount of configuration. [16:13] hallo [16:13] Discerer: pureftpd or proftpd seem to be the most popular ones. There are others of course. [16:13] Should a package list be downloading at 720 bits per second?

[16:14] guides* [16:15] Is Ubuntu-linux have hardware issues ? ,. shall I be worried about this kind of computer : http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/54662/ ., or there is a way i can check it out ? [16:15] How can I stop my updates from going through privoxy? Is there a config file for update manager? [16:15] OOPrg: it looks okay, although I would always prefer a machine with integrated Intel VGA. [16:15] My xorg.conf file does not have a "Display" subsection. So, I tried adding one with the "virtual 1024 768" option, but that doesn't seem to do anything. [16:16] pookmu, sudo /etc/init.d/privoxy stop [16:16] soundray : integrated Intel VGA ? i got this build from a friend . what shall i look for ? [16:16] pookmu, sudo /etc/init.d/tor stop (if you are also using tor) [16:16] Mechdave, I tried that, but then it doesn't connect at all [16:17] OOPrg: do you have this machine already, or are you planning it? [16:17] soundray : planning [16:17] I'm using intrepid BTW [16:17] pookmu, can you reconfig the machine not to route everything through privoxy? [16:18] OOPrg: instead of going for a separate graphics card, I would look for a motherboard that comes with integrated graphics, e.g. an Intel 945 chipset. [16:18] That's what I'm wondering. Firefox doesn't automatically use privoxy. [16:18] pookmu: go to #ubuntu+1 for intrepid questions please [16:18] soundray : ow i see ill look for this one thanks [16:18] okk [16:19] pookmu, is it only firefox or the whole machine as well? [16:19] soundray: .......mmmmkk....??????? [16:19] OOPrg: just because there is an open accelerated driver for Intel. NVidia (and ATI) accelerated drivers are closed source === HD is now known as Guest6824 [16:19] It just seems to be update manager [16:19] alanbshepard77: you got something to say? Say it. [16:20] that uses privoxy/tor [16:20] thanks? [16:20] pookmu, that is strange... [16:20] I know.. is there a config file? [16:21] would the Intel and NVidia sets will give the same result ? i got the impression that NVidia is stronger and faster [16:21] Okay need some help with my Vista shares. I can create files, and delete them but I can't edit the files. Full control is set for my user on the vista share, so I don't see why it isn't working? [16:21] I'm a linux noob. this must drive you guys nuts :) [16:22] OOPrg: Intel has better driver support. For NVidia, you will need a proprietary driver, which is a disadvantage if you value software freedom. [16:22] soundray : thanks for the help [16:23] pookmu: not at all, but if you are running intrepid, you should ask your questions in the intrepid channel, not here. #ubuntu+1 [16:23] soundray, I just did. I appreciate Mechdave and his help. Thanks guys === trilobiti-away is now known as trilobiti [16:24] sound mixing doesnt work for me...

[16:33] ubuntu is a package manager and init scripts [16:33] vr8mf: then you want to enable html rendering within msg8 [16:33] vr8mf: in which case it's an application, nothing to do with ubuntu [16:33] anyone can help me please, i'm totally newbie here [16:33] trilobiti, I deleted my old swap partition and made a new one. I set swapon but the next time I boot I have no swap registered. this might be the problem: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/34437 [16:34] ikonia: but if i have some internet page wich dont show mw everything? [16:34] vr8mf: such as ? [16:34] ikonia: this is all depending on flash player? [16:34] vr8mf: I don't know, thats why I asked you waht pages [16:35] ikonia: some benner (i know, nobody wants them) [16:35] kristjan_eerik: How sure are you that the device name for the partition is the same? I mean, if once the swap partition was /dev/hda2, is it the same for the new partition ? [16:35] what does a green folder mean? [16:35] some benner ? [16:36] ikonia: i dont know for moment, but if i have something missing, its possible to be from HTML rendering? [16:36] trilobiti, according to /etc/fstab I think it used to be /dev/sda3, now it's /dev/sda1 [16:36] vr8mf: no [16:36] vr8mf: hence why I'm asking for an example [16:37] Does ubuntu not like kvm switchs? [16:37] ikonia: ok, that is what i want to know. all be back with one page in the future and ask what is the problem [16:38] if ulimit -n returns this 524288, that means i can have that open files correct ? [16:38] kristjan_eerik: and are you using the UUID method or the direct device access method, as in directly assigning to e.g. /dev/sda1 ? [16:40] can seem to get etherape working, had it working on this pc on my last install so i know it works, but when i launch says no cant find interface? [16:40] trilobiti, to be honest I don't know. I just used gparted and I think it uses the direct device access method. it isn't a real biggy because I plan to reformat my hdd soon and put on 8.10 amd64 instead of i368. I seldom (if ever) use hibernation so I was just wondering what was up with it swapon not sticking [16:40] its found it before, ive tried installing via synatpic & apt-get [16:40] hi, I've created an entry in cron.hourly and made sure its executable, but it doesnt seem to be working... I've checked that the file works normally.... so does crontab need to load that somewhere else too? [16:40] Could someone pls tell me why the kernel-param pciback.hide= is ignored on hardy?? [16:40] any .conf or something i can specific it a if? [16:41] nnull: no interfaces doesn't mean the application isn't found, it means the physical network card interfaces are not found [16:41] ikonia¬ i know this. [16:41] kristjan_eerik: what does this: fdisk -l | grep swap tell you ? [16:41] nnull: this is normally due to it being needed to run as root to access a device in promisquious mode [16:41] so i wanted to uninstall ubuntu to just uninstall so i could d-load the newest version...well when my comp now boots it asks me which OS to choose...when i hit ubuntu it gives me the message it is missing/corrupt...but why..i had it uninstalled? [16:41] nnull: etherape needs root permissions to see the interfaces live. [16:41] nnull: then why make a comment about installing it through synaptic and apt-get if you know thats nothing to do with it [16:41] Hey guys. The ubuntu installer just hangs at resize partition. I'm not sure what to do [16:42] well alrighty then [16:42] I need some additional help [16:42] trilobiti, nothing. I have activated swapon through gparted though and see swap in the system monitor [16:42] hello, i'd just install ubuntu in my notebook, i'm totally blind for linux, i want to install my vga driver from my cd, what should i do ? the system keep asking me to connect to internet, which i don't have any connection, anyone can help me out please [16:42] ikonia¬ because from previous experience synaptic can bugger up installs where apt-get will install smoother.

[17:38] it was a miracle I got xchat running [17:38] !games | amanulla [17:38] amanulla: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php [17:38] trilobiti: no, it's a driver feature [17:39] iwconfig from command line doesn't seem to work. [17:39] anyone has some time, I need help with my squid on ubuntu :( [17:39] Having problems with Installing on Asus P5Q Delux. It lockups [17:39] what does it mean when a system shows error 22 while booting [17:39] maybe somenone can help me with xmms2? [17:39] and stops booting [17:40] debfx: I'd check the soundcard manufacturer's website for any driver news for linux. If it's a driver thing, that's the best place to start. [17:40] Flark: it shows nothing, iwconfig ? [17:40] I do "sudo iwconfig eth1 essid linksys" and then list the wireless devices to make sure it worked, and it SAYS that I am connected but then none of my internet apps work as though they are getting a connection [17:40] how is it going channel [17:41] now im in gnome desk can i shift to kde im using ubuntu? [17:41] amanulla, yes [17:41] amanulla, yes [17:41] have you seen my paste [17:41] I've been searching around on how to get my TC4400 Tablet PC to work properly w/ Hardy Heron (touchscreen), and I have found a few guides, but they all fail in the same area it seems, any1 know of or have a good guide I can try following ? [17:41] amanulla, yes [17:41] how can i shift [17:41] amanulla, in the login screen, click on Session, and choose KDE [17:41] in http://paste.ubuntu.com/54680/ [17:41] hello. In Openoffice.org, when I select 100% zoom level in the toolbar, the page displayed is not original size. It is bigger than a paper of that size. [17:41] ok i will try now [17:41] Flark: iwlist ap [17:41] Flark: does that say anything ? [17:41] hi if I upgrade to 8.10 beta now, will I have no problem to autoupdate to the final version later? [17:42] homy: it is [17:42] trilobiti, just a sec while I ctrl + alt + f1 to try that. hang on. [17:42] wait [17:42] lol [17:42] thanks [17:42] I'm online right now. let me explain. [17:43] dury: no, it isn't. I can hold a paper a5 on the screen, but the document displayed is not the same size, even though it is also a5! [17:43] any1 good with 'wacom' and correctly enabling the drivers? [17:43] I managed to get xchat running by using nm-applet to connect and then ctrl alt f1 and killed the pannel and nautilus and nm-applet before anything could crash [17:43] homy: use zoom -> entire page if you want the page to fit on screen [17:44] amanulla, welcome back [17:44] unfortunately this way I can't open anything new [17:44] ohh idont have kde option there [17:44] only gnome [17:44] Flark: have you restarted the system ever since ? [17:44] if I try, whatever I try to open crashes [17:44] amanulla: install kubuntu-desktop to have that option [17:44] no I did this just 20 minutes ago [17:44] homy: what kind of screen and resolution you have? [17:44] if I upgrade to 8.10 beta now, will I have no problem to autoupdate to the final version later? [17:45] amanulla, you have to install kde first : install the package kubuntu-desktop [17:45] Anyone here been successful in getting 2 Video Cards and 2 Monitors setup? [17:45] trust me I have tried before though; every time I go to connect with nm-applet it will lead to a crash within a few seconds to a few minutes [17:45] King_Kickass: beta comes with no guarentees [17:45] genii:how can i install [17:45] you mean to change ubuntu and install kubuntu? [17:45] but i have no kubuntu cds [17:45] amanulla, no [17:46] alright guys, I have a problem: I had to delete my swap partition so I could resize my windows/ubuntu partitions. I recreated the swap and now when I try to hibernate, it just shutsdown the machine. Any ideas on how to fix it? [17:46] amanulla: Install through your package manager, Synaptic [17:46] amanulla, you can install kde in ubuntu, [17:46] ok how to install [17:46] amanulla, you can install kde in ubuntu, but you have to install the package kubuntu-desktop. Go to Synaptic and install it [17:46] any commands to type in terminal [17:46] or can I access the new 8.10 repositories without installing the beta? [17:46] amanulla, apt-get install kubuntu-desktop === trilobiti is now known as trilobiti-away [17:46] amanulla: If by terminal: sudo apt-get update then: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [17:46] King_Kickass, no problems, you can install ubuntu 8.10 [17:47] how can i force a fsck on boot? [17:47] Flark: need to be afk for some moments. [17:47] ReloadRepeat, it sounds like the configuration for hibernation needs to be updated [17:47] Daremonai: sudo touch /forcefsck [17:47] King_Kickass, no problems, you can install ubuntu 8.10, or run sudo update-manager -d [17:47] !intrepid [17:47] any idea how to force xine to stop [17:47] Intrepid Ibex is the code name for Ubuntu 8.10, due October 30th, 2008 - Warning lots of broken software between now and October 30th! - Use #ubuntu+1 for support, NOT #ubuntu [17:47] ok [17:47] Flark, how would I go about doing that? [17:47] Pici, this would only do it once, right? [17:47] ok i hope it does not format my hd [17:47] Daremonai: correct. [17:47] scampbell: that is not my question === alberto is now known as Guest45989 [17:47] I don't know. It is no doubt listed somewhere in the documentation. You just need to find out where the config is stored. [17:48] Pici, thanks [17:48] homy: did you solve it? [17:48] That's my guess anyways. [17:48] King_Kickass: But it may not work properly. It is still beta after all. [17:48] dury: I have "acer x223w" widescreen monitor 1680x1050 pixel. [17:48] dury: no, I didn't [17:48] King_Kickass: you aren't going to back up first?!? Then you accept the risk. [17:48] nah backup is a pain in the ass [17:48] How can I switch from graphical boot to text so I can see why LiveCD is hanging burring boot [17:48] amanulla: you can use the menu system->admin->synaptic packet manager to install software ( just for your info in future ) [17:48] ok thx bye [17:49] Guma: If the LiveCD is not working, there isn't going to be much you can do to force it to work. Have you tried using the Alternate CD to install Ubuntu? [17:49] recon69:ok [17:50] Pici: No I did not. What is Alt CD? I am using 8.10 Beta 64 right now on Asus P5Q Delux [17:50] does the i386 iso have the 64 bit intel version too? [17:50] Hello, I was hoping someone might be able to give me some ideas for adding some logging around networking? I'm having an intermittent problem. [17:50] Flark, Ugh, I spent around 2 hours looking through there. They have a detailed way of using a file on a harddisk as a swap partition, but mention you can't hibernate if you do it like that. [17:51] Guma: 1) Intrepid Help is in #ubuntu+1, 2) its a version that is not a live cd, just for install. [17:51] lycoste: No, the x86 iso has the 64 bit version [17:51] homy: gesss what could be the problem..... you think? [17:51] My machine on 8.04 Hardy (Kernel 2.6.24-19-generic) has a frequent problem when I'm doing a lot of file transfer, the networking stops working. I can ping machines on the same subnet, but nothing external. Ping to google.com will just sit there and fail, for example. I don't believe the gateway is accessible either. If i run /etc/init.d/networking restart, it starts working again. I usually have to [17:51] restart any torrents, but hellanzb starts working normally on its own. I've checked /var/log/messages, and can't see any errors. Is there a way to turn on more logging? [17:51] lycoste: It can install on 64 bit, but it will not be the 64bit kernel. [17:51] dury: but its a normal 22" wide screen monitor! [17:51] dury: maybe I have to find the dpi in the manual and set it somewhere in openoffice? [17:52] Have you isolated the package(s) responsible for hibernation, ReloadRepeat? Because maybe you can just do a reconfigure with dpkg [17:52] thanks [17:52] can someone guide me to the most proper way to back up my system files and settings? I have seen many different ways and the umbuntu wiki says use a utility called hubackup. [17:52] mage, try /init.d/networking monitor "filename.log" [17:52] !backup [17:52] There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [17:52] ubuntu* [17:52] can i pause an update in terminal and carry on after restart? [17:52] I need some help getting my touchscreen laptop's touchscreen functionality working, not sure what to do, any1 have a minute or two to help out? [17:52] alreadykno thanks! [17:52] homy: did you try printing in a A4 paper? [17:52] sweet thanks ubottu [17:52] amanulla, if its just downloading packages yes [17:52] (it's a tablet, TC4400 to be precise) [17:53] yes [17:53] amanulla, if its already installing not recommended [17:53] dury: no it's not about printing. The page shows in a wrong size when it is displayed on the screen. [17:53] can i pause [17:53] Flark, I admit I haven't. It is an avenue to try, but I feel that this should be a lot easier than it currently is [17:53] amanulla: i'd wait, why you need to restart? === alaniaris_kokora is now known as elis === elis is now known as elis88 [17:53] hello , i need some help making ics with ubuntu and windows xp [17:53] dury: by the way, it is displayed correctly with evince if I "create pdf" in openoffice [17:54] so somehow it must be an openoffice problem. [17:54] hmm, networking monitor "filename.log" doesn't work - looks like its not an option. Do I need to install a program to do the logging? [17:54] amanulla: well, just cancel it , and start again when you reboot [17:54] ReloadRepeat, yeah I feel for you. You should see the pickle I'm in atm. [17:54] homy: right..... never had that kind of hazel [17:54] recon69:not to restart now but its 70 mb to download kde desk it takes much time can i pause and continue [17:54] as it is too late for me now [17:55] dury: why not? [17:55] im just asking is there any alternative to pause a download [17:55] had to drop, reboot; logged entries. [17:55] recon69: They will need to likely do the old dpkg --reconfigure -a [17:55] i succesed to share the files but cannot share the internet [17:55] and carry on after restart? [17:55] amanulla: well, if it still downloading ctrl-C will stop it [17:55] homy: I'm going to open OO [17:55] dury: go ahead :) [17:55] no i dont wnat to stop i wnat to pause is it possible? [17:56] amanulla, firefox has that feature by default. It's the pause button in the download window. [17:56] My cd drive doesn't work so I can't reinstall, I can't use anything but nm-applet to connect to the internet, and when I do it b0rks my desktop making me unable to open new applications or make use of the desktop, nautilus, or the panel. [17:56] okay, guys; a friend of mine was asking me how to install fluxbox, and I told him "sudo apt-get install fluxbox". Well, now that problem is solved (as far as downloading). [17:56] alreadykno: We're talking about apt-get [17:56] I, however, had to add something to get it into my sessions list.. [17:56] How would he go about putting it into his sessions list? [17:56] might have to select in preferences to show that window, [17:56] alreadykno:my download is from terminal [17:56] !fluxbox [17:56] fluxbox is a lightweight and responsive window manager for GNU/Linux. For how to set it up and more information see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fluxbox [17:56] hello , i need some help making ics with ubuntu and windows xp [17:56] amanulla: if you stop it while it's downloading on the command line, any packets it has downloaded will stay. I think [17:56] thanks, homy [17:56] ohh. apt-get is a protocol. get a front end gui for it. [17:56] i succesed to share the files but cannot share the internet [17:56] i couldn't remember the link [17:56] Fused: you're welcome [17:57] Flark, wow, makes my problem seem pretty trivial [17:57] lol [17:57] Flubox or awesome? [17:57] :P [17:57] Greetings... where can I find the log files for cron jobs? [17:57] Hey all .. Couldanybody help me out with trying to get 3d support [17:57] Does anyone know how to launch applications inside an already running desktop from the command prompt given by ctrl alt f1? [17:57] recon69:ok i will check it by diconnecting now [17:57] alreadykno, apt-get is a protocol?? no, it's just another frontend to APT [17:58] homy: my paper format in OO it's A4 (page Style) [17:58] no, it's the sister project for wget. FTP like in operation. [17:58] when i was in the gentoo world - there was a cute lil util that would let you direct the output of a command directly to a pastebin -- does such a thing exist in the ubuntu world? [17:58] Flark, what kind of applications? [17:58] I've got two helpers in Firefox to play audio/mp3 - it keeps picking totem over vlc... how do I make it use mozilla-vlc-plugin?? [17:58] fluxbox or awesome greencookie ? [17:58] alreadykno, you're confusing issues if you say that [17:58] the PT, in fact stands for protocol transfer. [17:59] anything. gnome-terminal would be nice. firefox or synaptic would be great too. [17:59] homy: menu Format/Page.. then page tab [17:59] dury: yes, I can also set it to a4. But when I hold a piece of a4 paper on my screen, I see that openoffice displays the document too large. [17:59] Which would you prefer ukkopekka [17:59] quit goofing, and bother to find out. Admittedly griping. [17:59] recon69:well its getting continued by ctrl+d hope i t will remain same even after restart [17:59] alreadykno, err no - APT - stands for advanced packaging tool [17:59] I can try to launch firefox from xchat but it doesn't show up. when I try again it says it is already running [17:59] some one can help me plz ? [17:59] !ask | blue_wolf [17:59] blue_wolf: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [17:59] homy: I mean, I grab a piece of paper lying on my desk, and hold it directly on my lcd monitor. [17:59] I need to find an IRC group for awesomeWM :( [18:00] And then I see that openoffice displays the a4 page too large; it is bigger than the real piece of paper [18:00] hello , i need some help making ics with ubuntu and windows xp, i succesed to share the files but cannot share the internet [18:00] greencookie join #lxde [18:00] oklinux thank you:) [18:00] !ics [18:00] If you want to share the internet connection of your ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php [18:00] homy: gesssss.........

[18:05] ruediix: evince shows the page in the (almost, maybe 2 millimeter) correct size. [18:05] recon69: so how can I make openoffice use the same dpi value as evince and other applications? [18:05] recon: Yes, but then I uninstalled and installed envy to install them for me... but same problem [18:05] Pici: thanks [18:05] homy, in that case Open Office (abreviated OOO) is using a different dpi (Dots/Inch) than other programs that do display correctly, just remember this, unless it really annoys you, in which case there are settings to change the dpi in OpenOffice. [18:06] ruediix: where are those settings? I couldn't find them.

[18:08] homy, search the help for dpi, they usually are burried, I haven't searched for them recently. A quick hack is to adjust the % till it's right, and make a macro button to switch to that percent. [18:08] morth: on the gnome-terminal preferences disable beep [18:08] what video card deunner [18:08] deunnero, it should just work out-of-the-box these days ... unless your laptop is old and just won't support it [18:08] it's short for Squid Analysis Report Generator [18:08] what video card deunnero [18:08] sorry, no clue [18:08] THIS CHANNEL IS STUPID, I ASK A SIMPLE QUESTION AND NO ONE KNOWS TO ANSWER.

Try searching the wiki at http://www.openoffice.org [18:11] Flark, I think i asked this already - what kind of applications?

[18:12] have to edit xorg.conf for dvi I guess [18:12] unop, anything. gnome-terminal would be nice. [18:12] what is the difference between atlas3-sse2 and libatlas-sse2? [18:12] pronoy_: for handiness in the future use "fusion-icon" it is in the repositories.. just do "sudo apt-get install fusion-icon" [18:12] w8tah, or pastebinit < file [18:12] w8tah: have your read its manpage?

I think you misunderstand, unop [18:13] unop, I am not trying to open something on another monitor [18:14] w8tah: no, you can't -i a command. you either need to pipe a command output into it or use -i with a file. i.e: dpkg -L libphonon4 | pastebinit [18:14] ruediix: http://paste.ubuntu.com/54701/ [18:14] Flark, you're at a console (i.e. VTY1) and you want to launch something to run in your X environment?? [18:14] ok [18:14] w8tah: Does it give you a url back for the second line? [18:14] Paddy_EIRE: ya got it back....man how dumb !! i was using metacity all this while and thought it was emerald.......Thanks anywyas !!

[18:14] pronoy_: :) install emerald and fusion-icon [18:14] Flark, the console you get to when you type CTRL+ALT+F1 [18:15] then yes [18:15] Paddy_EIRE: I have installed emerald and fusion-icon....now i need to run them [18:15] pici specifically -- error no arguements specified [18:15] Flark, then the command i gave you is what you want. [18:15] w8tah: What if you just do: ls | pastebinit ? [18:15] pronoy_: just start fusion-icon then choose your window decorator from there [18:15] ruediix: what could be the problem http://paste.ubuntu.com/54701/ [18:15] unop, I can get back to my desktop with ctrl alt f7, so what value do I use for display?

[18:16] !? [18:16] need help with debootstrap [18:16] Flark, normally it is :0.0 - but you should check, open up a terminal and type echo $DISPLAY [18:17] !command [18:17] Sorry, I don't know anything about command [18:17] !list [18:17] 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 [18:17] Paddy_EIRE: do i need to write fusion --replace like emerald ?? [18:17] hi [18:17] unop, I can get back to my desktop with ctrl alt f7, so what value do I use for display? [18:17] pici yes [18:17] Hello biberao [18:17] !botabuse > deunnero, [18:17] how can i speed up my ubuntu? [18:17] list of directories etc === adam is now known as Guest45310 [18:17] pronoy_: nope... just run fusion-icon [18:17] w8tah: I'm not sure why its doing that then. I've had issues where sometimes pastebinit doesnt want to give me a url, but theres no errors then. [18:17] Flark, i just told you. === marmar is now known as ToRrES [18:18] hmm. okay then. thanks [18:18] ok - thanks for the time - -sorry to bother u guys [18:18] debootstrap is used to create a minimal Ubuntu build [18:18] pronoy_: go to "Applications > System Tools > "Compiz Fusion Icon" [18:18] Paddy_EIRE: fusion-icon....from main menu not working ? [18:19] Paddy_EIRE: nothing turns up [18:19] trying again: what is the diff between atlas3-sse2 and libatlas3-sse2 [18:19] what is dsl? [18:19] Anyone use ratpoison?

[18:20] greencookie: sorry just checking [18:20] Pici: have you got time to support me? [18:20] amanulla: dial-up slow line [18:20] dury: I told you before, ask the channel, rather than one person [18:20] dury: Not really, I'm running off to a meeting in 5 minutes. [18:20] greencookie:i want to install dsl [18:20] sint: get output of X [18:20] :) [18:20] you'll get a better response [18:20] unop, nothing I load works. I get a blank window which can only be forced to quit. [18:20] Chowder: how? [18:20] amanulla a dls is a digital subscriber line (high speed via a phone line). Simular to cable internet but uses PPPoE. (Username/pass usually required) [18:21] amanulla: Your best bet is to google it. [18:21] sint: one sec. [18:21] BenHoltz:what does it mean "dial-up slow line" [18:21] ok... could anyone support me to solve repositories connection [18:21] Paddy_EIRE: done....anything else ? [18:21] homy, if they don't have the screen dpi in the main interface I'm pretty stumped. As if it's not reading it properly from X11, there isn't much you can do, except the hack I gave you (Find what it is yourself, and create a shortcut button to that size) [18:21] amanulla: go look up DSL on google. [18:21] Flark, the blank window i assume appears in VTY7 ?? and it's a GUI window? I'm just making sure. [18:21] amanulla: This is the *Ubuntu* Support Channel, for Ubuntu, not general computing things. [18:21] unop, yes [18:21] can't install packages [18:21] ruediix: for me, it is 93% [18:22] Flark, what did you try opening? maybe there's more you need to do [18:22] greencookie:ok [18:22] how do I kill a process, and prevent it from coming back? [18:22] <|moe|> hello there, due to a powershortage my ubuntu install on a vm complains about wrong permission settings on bootup and refuses to load. (chown: invalid group syslog:adm and klog:klog) [18:22] dury: maybe es.archive.ubuntu.com is down, you could try a different server [18:22] <|moe|> how can I fix that? [18:22] homy, than you should be able to create a shortcut button, read up on simple oneline macros relating to the view size commands. [18:22] ruediix: nobody is answering in #openoffice.org [18:22] Hello [18:22] Chowder: from /var/log/Xorg.0.log? === stelk is now known as StelK [18:22] |moe|: reinstall? vbox usually reinstalls well [18:23] unop, I tried gnome terminal after nautilus --no-desktop. gnome-panel can't be terminated or properly loaded if that helps. [18:23] ruediix: but its a dirty hack :) but probably I'll use it if it is impossible to change screen dpi. [18:23] pronoy_: not really.. enjoy mostly.. and you may wanna install "compizconfig-settings-manager" in order to adjust compiz much better [18:23] yes [18:23] sint: and also /etc/X11/xorg.conf [18:23] homy: have you tried setting a variable zoom setting that gives you the correct size? [18:23] Paddy_EIRE: ya already done that [18:23] put it on ubuntu.pastebin.com [18:23] Paddy_EIRE: thanks [18:23] <|moe|> well, this vm is about 600km away so I'd like to instruct someone (he's a noob) [18:23] Chowder: k, sec [18:23] Flark, does ALT+F2 bring up the run dialog in VT7 ? [18:23] <|moe|> danbh_intrepid: like bootup in rescue mode and type the following: chown.... [18:23] recon69: thanks to answer me...... really appreciate it [18:23] Pici:to install ubuntu on usb i downloaded mini.iso but how can i use it to install it on my usb? [18:24] unop, no. but maybe it needs more time to load...? [18:24] recon69: yes, for me its 93%. But that's a dirty hack. I should be able to set the screen dpi value, or, even better, 100% should be 100% by default!!! [18:24] people, I'm having some trouble with my Intel GL960 chipset (X3100), I select the Intel drivers but Xorg keep always switching back to vesa (and I can't use 3d acceleration), anyone had the same problem or can help me? [18:24] Flark, give it a couple more seconds [18:24] is there a way i can remotely launch gnome from a windows machine? or just X11 for that matter. [18:24] no [18:24] |moe|: I don't know, that well [18:24] recon69: how can I configure a different server [18:24] unop, I'll give it a few more minutes. [18:24] Chowder: was that no for me? [18:25] greencookie, if you have an X11 client, you can have X11 apps displayed on the client but running on the server [18:25] greencookie, unless you connect to an Ubuntu box via ssh [18:25] greencookie: remotely launch gnome from a windows machine means to see drives of ubuntu from xp? [18:25] in windows it's remote desktop [18:25] when i execute a command, is there any way to change the base path that the command is executing from? i.e. i would like to do basically 1) cd /a/good/path then: /usr/local/bin/mycommand > eatmyshorts (where all relative paths that mycommand accesses are calculated from /a/good/path but without having to cd to it first) [18:25] sucks :( [18:25] Can someone help me out with getting my ati radeon xpress 200m getting 3d acceleration up? [18:25] right now I can ssh into the terminal [18:25] i mean in one line [18:25] homy, chances are they don't know. Yeah, try looking up on Xorg how to force DDC monitory detection on in the video card driver. This should fix the issue by forcing the monitor into native resolution and to report the monitor's dpi and color match data. [18:25] so no one here has any experience at all with the debootstrap command? [18:25] For some reason in glxgears and everything i get Segmentation faults [18:25] but thats about it. if i want to run firefox from there or something. [18:25] recon69: in /etc/apt/sources.list ? [18:26] greencookie, what OS are you connecting from? [18:26] ruediix: so this is an openoffice org bug? [18:26] unop: it would be the sh!ttest of all Oses. === Guest954 is now known as skunkworks__ === strAlan is now known as Chris_Britton [18:26] jimbobot, this is a compound command. ( cd /somewhere; command > file ) [18:26] dury: in synaptic , setting->repositories , and try France i guess. worth a try [18:26] unop: windows Vista. [18:26] greencookie, we use good language in here - please try and do the same. [18:26] unop: I'm really sorry. [18:27] homy, it's either open-office or video driver. A lot of video drivers turn off monitor detection beyond resolution if they don't get perfectly phrased data unless use use the force command. [18:27] I'll behave . [18:27] ruediix: so maybe I'll report a bug tomorrow (or even today) [18:27] hi. a question for seasoned sysadmins: long ago I used a program that showed a fish tank on the screen. the fish were processes and the amount of bubbles were the system load. does anyone know the name of that program? I can't find it anymore. thanks. === geo is now known as geo05 [18:27] unop: ok, cool. would there be a way to do it temporarily just for that command (so further commands are in the original directory) [18:27] greencookie, you'd need something like cygwin on vista then - otherwise, i don't think it is possible. === gig is now known as Gigamo [18:27] Chowder: http://rafb.net/p/OuTgDs90.html [18:27] cygwin. ill google it. thanks unop [18:27] I'll use the Help->Report A Bug function in openoffice org. [18:27] unop, the blank terminal window started working after a minute, but when I right-clicked on it, it froze the desktop. I had to go back to VTY1 and do a killall gnome-terminal to get the desktop working again. Something is definitely broken/not loaded. Run dialog is still not present. [18:28] <|moe|> danbh_intrepid: thank you so far, maybe I'll do it "your way" if he can forward the ports for a remote control of the vbox [18:28] jimbobot, if you use a subshell - like i have used, changing the directory only affects the subshell, not the parent [18:28] homy, they do need a "scale correction" interface with a ruler that you can hold a piece of paper of a known size to (or a real ruler.) [18:28] jimbobot, try it out. you'll see what i mean. [18:28] ruediix: so, I'll report the bug. [18:29] When opening video files sometimes my system will freeze. I have to restart it by holding down the power button, what is causing this? [18:29] Flark, do you have another user on the system you can log on to see if everything's fine? [18:29] homy, the second bug, and list investigation into reading if it's getting it's scale from xOrg correctly in the missing item bug as well. [18:29] sint: sorry, I'm stumped. Try the Ubuntu forums [18:29] unop, no [18:29] i just had the same problem as Winston my computer Froze and i had to reboot manualy [18:29] Anyone tried out the new 1080p 22 inches? [18:29] ruediix: which second bug? [18:29] Flark, you can create one easily - sudo adduser new_user_name [18:29] basso what new one ? [18:29] brb [18:30] i'm following http://www.teamteabag.com/2008/05/17/howto-easy-install-ubuntu-804-hardy-heron-or-most-other-distros-from-usb/ but "syslinux -ma f:" nor "syslinux.exe -ma f:" works, help? === adam is now known as Guest41698 === kira is now known as Guest42410 [18:30] isn't there an updated post to this? [18:30] Benq just released the new E2200 HD/A with 1920x1080 60hz, the HD edition even got DVI, VGA and HDMI :D [18:30] unop: didn't realize the parentheses were meaningful; learned two tricks, thanks a bunch [18:31] can anybody help me getting my ATI radeon xpress to have 3d acelleration =] [18:31] and a dynamic ratio of 10000:1 (yeah i know its bull) [18:31] recon69: great, great... success :) [18:31] cause glxgears says Segmentation Fault [18:31] deunnero, install Envy [18:31] basso how is this antything to do with ubuntu ? [18:31] !envy | Brucee [18:31] Brucee: envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk [18:31] oops [18:31] !envy | brasso [18:31] brasso: envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk [18:31] really really appreciate it you don't know how [18:32] jimbobot, the parantheses tell your shell to execute the commands in a child or sub shell - and the way unix processes work, if you change something in the child shell, they are not reflected in the parent in other words, you cannot affect a parent process from a child. [18:32] whats the talk about everything chat channel? [18:32] unop, I need to add the new user to the sudoers file so it can run gdm, but I doubt I can run another instance of gdm. can I? [18:32] basso #ubuntu-offtopic [18:32] Basso: i did... but i still don't on have 3d acceleration =/ === Eric is now known as RickLinux [18:32] Flark, only the superuser can restart gdm - so you can use your existing user to restart the gdm [18:33] Flark, i mean using sudo [18:33] nha ikonia, i remembered there were another one.. a huge one, that changed channel name, must be like in febuary or something [18:33] unop, if I do that I will lose my desktop... and it took a LONG time to get it. [18:34] basso; would you mind if i pmd you? [18:34] im no expert deunnero...

[18:35] but i used envyNg... but it knows my resolution i just don't have 3d acceleration for some reason -.- glxgears gives me Segmentation fault [18:35] Syslinux means what? [18:35] Chowder: ok, thanks anyways [18:36] amanulla, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syslinux [18:36] StelK: GL960 sounds very new -- maybe that's the problem. [18:37] soundray, so it may be unsupported by the Intel drivers? [18:37] why does save and exit do nothing in firefox, it saves nothing. [18:37] how do I comment something out in .xinitrc? [18:37] [q] Does anyone know how to ban a program from running? [18:37] unop:im trying to install anu linux version on my usb stick can you suggest?

It says the new user isn't authorized to run x :p [18:41] DrDabbles, mmm nice... maybe I'll solve my problems [18:41] StelK: well, you could always download an intrepid Desktop CD and see if it looks promising wifi- and graphics-wise [18:42] unop, yes - I am. Sorry [18:42] Flark, ohh no errm. hold on a sec [18:42] StelK Hopefully. The progress has been remarkable. But, obviously, if your card still only has windows drivers, you will still be relying on NDISWrapper...and that can be a pain no matter what. [18:42] unop, I will paste my question... [18:42] Gizmo_The_Great, ok [18:42] DrDabbles, I'm actually using MadWifi drivers compiled by me on Gutsy [18:42] hey guys, ratpoison or awesome? pick one please :) [18:42] to killall zrestartowalo mi jedynie xy [18:43] hello [18:43] :D [18:43] DrDabbles, but they seeme very unstable on Hardy [18:43] unop, I have another 'rename' question if you can help?

So I have /OriginalFiles/141-DSC_7654.jpg.medium.jpeg etc etc and /NewFiles/1234.jpeg I want all the files is /NewFiles/ to [18:43] be renamed with the same names as in /OriginalFiles/.

[19:06] erUSUL: which ones newest [19:06] Daremonai: it might be either a software or hardware problem (failing drive). does it drop you to a console? [19:07] wow - dude this is so damn annoying [19:07] LjL, I am booting with a fsck, after this happens.. it goes on saying some stuff about inodes, then reboots the pc automatically. [19:07] Daremonai: right, that's what it's supposed to do, but after it reboots, does it do it again? [19:07] i have a java program that i'd like to create a menu item for. what is the command and path for sun java6 jre executable ? [19:08] 2 Video Cards, 2 Monitors - it should be pretty simple, but uh - no....it doesn't work at all...and now ubuntu keeps complaining about low graphics mode, stupid. [19:08] LjL, it's rebooted around 6-7 times so far. at one point it told me to put root password or click Ctrl+D and I did Ctrl+D [19:09] Daremonai: you do need to put in a password (shouldn't really be the root password, but your own password) and run fsck manually. or you could (perhaps easier) boot from a live cd. === pronoy is now known as pronoy_ [19:09] Daremonai: in any case, you'll need to make sure there isn't a hardware failure on the drive. i suppose you're on another computer right now?

[19:13] LjL, when it reboots, should I just turn it off and on again? how can i stop the constant fscks? [19:13] erUSUL: i did sudo apt-get install firehol and it installed a program but im not seeing the program on the list [19:14] Daremonai: i told you - you should *put* the root password when it asks you, *not* hit ctrl+d, and then run fsck manually [19:14] my file browser doesn't show title bar and buttons when the compiz effects are at their advanced level [19:14] LjL, fsck died with exit 3 [19:14] but i'm being called for dinner right now [19:14] Doc8404: it is not a gui program... if you want gui for iptables install firestarter [19:14] LjL, yeah, but it's not asking me this anymore [19:14] !firestarter [19:14] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in.

[19:47] soundray, with the 'e' command ? [19:48] Daremonai: exactly [19:48] soundray, okay, what do i add? [19:49] Daremonai: you hit 'e' on the recovery entry, then go the kernel line and hit 'e' again. Then append break=mount at the end. Hit Return and 'b' for boot. It should now stop at a console. Try running e2fsck -y at that point. [19:49] fbc: by editing the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf [19:49] should i just burn a new boot disc, cause i keep getting install cannot load errors for ubuntu studio [19:49] fbc: and then restart the X server [19:49] i ran a check for defects and it passed [19:49] hi, can you help me with wifi? [19:49] hmm u know i was told the firewall in linux is good enough but yet firestarter just took a hit [19:50] i have brioadcom 4306 [19:50] soundray, alright, trying it! [19:50] trilobiti, but the xorg.conf no longer contains any settings.... [19:50] and i can see networks but i cannot connect to them [19:50] webstyle: have you searced for the wifi application or wifi synaptics manager? [19:50] trilobiti, after the upgrade to hardy I no longer see resolutions or anything in there... [19:50] webstyle: i know ive seen one [19:50] fbc: oh, didn't know. What's the replacement mechanism ? [19:50] i used http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766560 [19:50] fbc: i mean what do they use now ? [19:51] fbc: if you remove xorg.conf completely, X should start in a safe config mode (back it up so you can go back to it if need be) [19:51] trilobiti, dunno,, that's why I'm asking. [19:51] i tried to configure it with interfaces [19:51] webstyle: did you do every step? [19:51] soundray, ok I will try that... [19:51] is this an ubuntu only feature or upstream debian has that the same ? [19:51] soundray, it stopped after "usb 1-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice" [19:51] is it normal that ubuntu would run my battery out in 1 hour, whereas in Windoze Vist-something it keeps going for 2-3 hours? [19:51] i forgot, what's the commandline command to find a file on a computer? like "default.session" ? [19:51] Doc8404 yes i did [19:52] Daremonai: no prompt? [19:52] Naomark, locate [19:52] i thought it was something like find / -name "string" [19:52] webstyle: check to see if what you have is to old, or to new. thiers a new version comming ubuntu 8.10 and it might enable it if its that new [19:52] oh [19:52] soundray, nothing's appearing [19:52] im, using 804 [19:52] Naomarik, find is one as well ,locate uses an indexed databases so its very fast [19:52] soundray, I pressed enter, and i got: "(initramfs)" [19:52] okay how do I choose my default windows manager? I'm using 8.10 and have compiz/emerald installed but metacity keeps loading [19:53] webstyle: is see ur not the only one with that problem [19:53] Daremonai: hmm, I was hoping it would give you a busybox shell and a chance to e2fsck manually [19:53] soundray, hehe me too :) so what now? [19:54] webstyle: if you read the comments people left, they seemed to resolve it... or in some cases have no luck at all with that setup [19:54] and how do I invert a grep? :) [19:54] exit [19:54] Doc8404 i wil try once again [19:54] Naomarik: -v [19:54] can you tell me hoqw to clean ndiswrapper [19:55] Daremonai: what happens if you enter e2fsck? [19:55] webstyle: you might have to check what your wireless is running whether its 0 or 1. and try to reconfig for that [19:55] soundray, says that it's not in /bin/sh [19:55] soundray, that didn't work.. is there a place that I can the video card type from the command line? [19:55] soundray, I'm getting a grey screen after I try to log into gnome. [19:55] Doc8404 - 0?1? i dont uderstand, what do i have to check? [19:56] fbc: anything on that screen? [19:56] nope [19:56] soundray, I got in!!! I pressed ctrl+alt+del, i got some screen saying smth about X, I pressed alt+f4, and i got into console. [19:56] justa a grey (blank) screen [19:56] webstyle check ur wireless device [19:56] Doc8404 it is ok, im using laptop on it [19:56] fbc: is it really grey, or is it one pixel black, the next one white? [19:56] it uses wpa [19:57] websytle: some of the problems i read looking at the page you used, showed some people were set up on a wireless0 when they needed wireless2 in that settings script [19:57] soundray: /dev/sda1: clean, 300418/19169280 files, 14244812/3823049 blocks [19:57] Daremonai: and /dev/sda1 was the problem partition? [19:57] soundray, yes [19:58] Daremonai: so let's hope that this has broken the vicious circle. [19:58] soundray, grey [19:58] fbc: gdm looks normal? [19:58] Hello, got a problem with my mouse /Logitech VX nano) opera wont work properly i followed (http://wiki.eeeuser.com/configure_logitech_vx_nano?s=nano ) and still no success, anybody knows what might be the problem? [19:58] is it normal that ubuntu would run my battery out in 1 hour, whereas in Windoze Vist-something it keeps going for 2-3 hours? [19:58] soundray, am gonna reboot now [19:58] Daremonai: fingers crossed [19:58] soundray, thanks a lot! :) so are mine :) [19:59] soundray, where it asks me for my user name and password? yes, looks fine, but the type is very tiny, but otherwise fine.. [19:59] i partitioned my entire harddrive. put vbox with windows xp on it. put 4 gigs of 667mhz kingston hyperX ram... and mine runs flawless with only 18% ram usage and only an average of 10% use of each processor... i had problems until i took off the dual boot windows [19:59] fbc: okay, that means that the xorg.conf is not your problem anyway. [19:59] soundray, it did fsck again, am gonna leave it this time to see if will actually work or not. [20:00] fbc: can you check that you haven't accidentally filled a filesystem? df -h === andriijas` is now known as andriijas [20:00] I have a small "issue" my usb thumb drive seems to mount..but the icon doesnt display on my desktop...how can I get it back? it mounts..but...just doesnt display the usual icon like it used to. [20:01] how do i configure my lcd tv to be the main display for my laptop? [20:01] Robb_M: have a look in system -> preferences - removable drices and media [20:02] open_sauce: that displays nothing about thumb drives or the like? [20:02] Robb_M: hmmm, actually that might not help sorry [20:02] anyone know how to get my newly applied theme to work with synaptic? I saw a thread on it on the ubuntu forum but I cant for the life of me find it now [20:02] * Robb_M has already looked there open_sauce :) [20:02] i wonder if off a laptop you can run a second screen, as a second workstation with a different cube [20:02] thats ok open_sauce thanks though :) [20:03] Is there a reason Ubuntu would only see 2 of my quad core processors instead of 4? Fedora 8 sees all 4 fine. /proc/cpuinfo only shows 8 cores, while in Fedora, it shows 16 [20:03] Robb_M: alt-f2, gconf-editor, ok, apps>nautilus>desktop, check volumes_visible [20:03] Doc8404: no, you can only run one instance of compiz per X server (or even per machine, not sure) [20:03] hey how do I give write access to a user .... [20:03] for a folder in the system files [20:03] unop, sorry mate. I am back but the last suggestion you made has scrolled beyond reach. Can you repeat it by any chance? It was the renaming issue and ensuring the first 3 digits appeared properly? Can you remember? [20:03] I tried adding it in the root group [20:03] and users group [20:03] but no luck [20:03] soundray: so then it would show up as another one of the workstations, or just show whats on this screen [20:04] Hello, is there a way to define max-height of windows in X using a command or something? [20:04] Thanks emorris :D [20:04] hello people [20:04] I want to use stalonetray, but it doesn't play too nicely with AWN when set not to maximize over the dock [20:04] Robb_M: yw [20:04] that i believe fixed it, hang on a second while i verify :) [20:04] Doc8404: you can choose what the external screen displays: a clone of the internal, an extended desktop, or a second desktop [20:05] Yup, it did emorris, thank you again. [20:05] soundray: thanks [20:05] * Robb_M goes to put that in a file incase it happens again. [20:05] When I have turned on "maximized windows - no overlapping" in AWN, stalonetray won't just stay put [20:06] soundray, it's a really old machine with 256megs or ram. The videocard setup during installation showed as none. so there is no driver for xorg.conf how do i set it manually? [20:06] fbc: have you got a copy of gutsy's xorg.conf? [20:06] <[Solars]> exceed is kinda nice [20:07] <[Solars]> just installed it, was pretty much already setup, putty ssh into my server [20:07] soundray, nope..

[20:08] thanius: dont even know what that is [20:08] okelidokey [20:08] Is there a reason Ubuntu would only see 2 of my quad core processors instead of 4? Fedora 8 sees all 4 fine. /proc/cpuinfo only shows 8 cores, while in Fedora, it shows 16 [20:08] <[Solars]> wasn't planning on chatting, though you forced me to respond which is chatting... i was jsut merrly committing how well configured things are from ubuntu stand point [20:09] video hardware acceleration used to work until I tried to rescue X config [20:09] [Solars]: this is offtopic, hence the hint [20:09] how can I figure out what package foo caused the installation of another package bar?

[20:10] <[Solars]> usueally escape, delete, has to be pressed during boot time [20:10] [Solars]: I checked the BIOS but i cant find it in any menus [20:11] <[Solars]> while still in the bios [20:11] F2 [20:11] is there a bash command to show hot plugged devices? like whether or not a monitor is attached [20:11] mib_go2ngr: have you updated bios? [20:11] soundray, yeah [20:11] zimbres: May be u don't have sufficient plugins. [20:11] soundray, here's what i did, ctrl+alt+del pressed alt+f4 on the X not being able to load, got into console, put root password, removed the folder containing the 'bad blocks' it was telling me about, rebooted, it did another fsck, no bad block errors came, it reached 100% and it rebooted again, now it's on that reboot, technically it should work from now without any problems, it's doing fsck again [20:11] fbc: before EndSection, insert Driver "vesa" [20:11] fbc: may or may not work, but is worth a try [20:11] zimbres: sudo apt-get install vlc [20:11] <[Solars]> mib_go2ngr is your bios up-to-date, are you using a hardware sata board? [20:11] wng--: no, i need to check that out. [20:12] [Solars]: Bios I don't know if it's been updated, but it is a hardware sata connection [20:12] I am trying to rename a set of files using rename.

Unop kindly suggested : rename 's/(.*?).jpg/$1.jpg.medium.jpeg/' * which renames my files perfectly as required, except for one thing. I need 3 digits and a '-' to appear at the start of the file. eg. 003-DSC_7085fearn.jpg.medium.jpg. How can I add those additional 4 characters? [20:13] how do i prevent a file from being rm except by sudo rm [20:13] askand: it's usually reported somewhere in /var/log/Xorg.0.log [20:13] Doc8404: you can use a bootable USB drive [20:13] correct me if im wrong because i need to do it, but u can change memory allotment for video in a laptop in the bios right?

[20:23] Daremonai: strange -- normally, fsck removes /forcefsck automatically [20:23] *releases [20:24] soundray, weirdly enough, it didn't.. I found it there, and was wondering why it's still there.. [20:24] !intrepid > Optimus55 [20:24] Optimus55, please see my private message [20:24] gracias amigo [20:24] what are those commands soundray... [20:24] open_sauce, thank you so much!! I never knew that was there. I have found the entry : rename -n 'no strict; s/^/sprintf "%03d", $index++/e' *.jpeg - that is what unop suggested to me [20:25] !ubottu > Doc8404 [20:25] Doc8404, please see my private message [20:25] Gizmo_The_Great: I didnt know either! good old google eh? [20:25] I'd like to install all extras from console - has anybody got the whole list of plugins-, java-, flash- and other packages needed to have a smooth internet experience, watch dvds, burn dvds and so on? [20:25] wng--: also if you're on ubuntu standard, trying ubuntu server might have different kernel options configured. A machine with 8 processors is not to play shooters :p [20:25] soundray, it worked!!! [20:26] yeah see mess ive got 512mb dedicated to video, ive got 2gigs dedicated to ubuntu and 1 gig dedicated to vbox running windows xp [20:26] embrik: ubuntu-restricted-extras [20:26] fbc: I'm glad :) [20:26] soundray, device "vesa" [20:26] fbc: you mean Driver [20:26] Hello [20:26] ShackJack, ok, but then I have to find the names on all the packages needed? Does anyone have a list? [20:27] How do I install ia32-libs [20:27] ?? [20:27] soundray, yeah [20:27] embrik: No it is a meta package that installs the others - it will say which b4 installing... [20:27] Arlianin: apt-cache search ia32 should give you a list [20:27] open_sauce, and yes, it worked. I just needed to add a '-' so it reads : rename -n 'no strict; s/^/sprintf "%03d-", $index++/e' *.jpeg and now that has renamed all my files as : 140-DSC_7654fearn.jpg.medium.jpeg. Superb!! [20:27] ShackJack, hmm - cool :-) I'll try [20:27] Gizmo_The_Great: hurrah! [20:28] Slard: I write "apt-cache search ia32" in terminal and nothing appears [20:28] Arlianin: are you on a 64bit system? [20:28] Soundray: Yes [20:28] hi [20:28] Arlianin: hmm.. on my computer it lists 4 packages [20:28] i have cinelerra installed but how do i start it? [20:28] :s [20:29] Does anyone know how to purge uninstalled applications in a 1liner, to like... scan the dpkg -l list and pick out what hasnt been purged [20:29] <3 [20:29] Phoul: there's a filter in Synaptic or sudo aptitude clean [20:29] hi [20:29] i have new ubuntu computar [20:30] its so fast wow [20:30] i can surf the net i guess [20:30] if the internets worked [20:30] but internets dosent work?!! [20:30] ShackJack, aptitude clean doesnt purge things does it [20:30] why internet dosent work [20:30] ShackJack: aptitude clean does something different [20:30] I am connected to my computer using ssh from work (using Putty). Why am I disconnected every time I stay idle for 2 minutes? [20:30] nikonoel: read the HOWTOs [20:30] Phoul: Just package files (doesn't nuke programs)... soundray oh sorry thought that's what he was asking [20:31] ballsac The HOWTOs of putty? Or ssh? [20:31] ballsac: and your question is, why does my internet not work? [20:31] nikonoel: Disconnect often depend on remote machines settings [20:31] ichbinesderelch: Don't feed the trolls...

[20:35] nikitis: man tune2fs [20:35] s0u][ight: glad you like it (never tried it myself) [20:35] I can't open a package file, receiving an error: "gedit has not been able to detect the character coding. bla bla" anyone knows how to solve it? [20:35] soundray, only the look for now [20:36] nikitis, its customizeable.. and you proberly dont want to just disable it.. set it to every 30 boots or so. [20:36] didn't test it yet [20:36] erUSUL, Thanks for pointing me in the right direction [20:36] nikitis, also you may want to tune the reserved blocks. since its keepng 5% reserved.. and that can add up to quite a bit. [20:36] aaron: gedit is a text editor... not the same as gdebi [20:36] dr_willis, is it really needed? I mean linux filesystems are infallible correct? [20:36] hi [20:36] nikitis, if it was not needed.. then it wouldent be there... they are not infallible. [20:37] * erUSUL remembers his issues with jfs .... :( [20:37] Why does flash lag in full screen? [20:37] erUSUL: I know. but thats the error I'm receiving and dont know why :/ [20:37] nikitis, when you have fileservers with 6+mo uptimes.. the checking every few mounts... dosent happen a lot [20:37] i guess this is not the right place to ask your linux questions? [20:37] i have serious problems getting xmms to run [20:37] ahh JFS the filesystem with a poor fsck on replaying journals [20:37] aaron: probably the deb is corrupted or not properly detected by the file manager [20:37] Oilfurnace: because adobe isn't really going for the linux route [20:37] kri: are you on Ubuntu? [20:37] soundray: yes === Oilfurnace is now known as GasFurnace [20:38] thanks erUSUL [20:38] So its adobes fault not linuxs? [20:38] I have 23 TB's in my personal desktop [20:38] kri: xmms isn't supported any more. There are a number of successors -- I personally like audacious [20:38] GasFurnace: they create the flash plugin.. it's not open source.. [20:38] soundray: ok [20:38] dr_willis, i have 23 TB's in my personal desktop. I'll run a check myself once in awhile. I don't need a program running it for me. [20:38] GasFurnace: there is a beta of the v10 flash plugin.. but it's not recommended [20:39] my second problem is to run a different theme for irssi [20:39] LOLHY [20:39] <3 <3 [20:39] is all white up in here [20:39] nikitis: just for curiosity, 23tb of pr0n? [20:39] nikitis, thats the linux way.. do what you want. :) [20:39] i guess there's nothing left for me to do [20:39] ichbinesderelch, i wasent going to say that.. :) but i was thinking it.. [20:39] dr_willis, i know :) Thanks for the info. I just think using something auto like that is stepping into Bad Microsoft territory [20:40] dr_willis: hehehe [20:40] does canonical have a stock number? [20:40] nikitis, 'data security [20:40] ichbinesderelch, no pr0n, just movies, etc [20:40] nikitis, 'data security' is everyones terrority [20:40] GasFurnace: it's not a public company [20:40] it's not totally ubuntu-specific, but is there a name to the "standard" where we write optional command line parameters in square brackets, required parameters in angle brackets, etc? [20:40] thats good [20:41] nikitis: if I had that much disk space I would create some kind of script to automagically dismount, fsck, remount the different disks every now and then [20:41] nikitis: i defenitly don't believe you ;) [20:41] nikitis, if you want to be extra safe. yoyu could mount whatever filesystems READ ONLY, if you only need them read only. [20:41] Microsoft is taking a plunge with dow dow droped 700+ points so far last time i checked === x-spec-t is now known as Spec [20:41] GasFurnace: this isn't for here, really [20:41] ichbinesderelch, I back up all my movies as iso's [20:41] the ones I buy [20:41] GasFurnace: #ubuntu-offtopic [20:41] i know im done [20:42] dr_willis, i could eventually [20:42] I finally got the wife trained to watch the .iso files off the fileserver.. saves her having to fumble with disks. [20:42] dr_willis, thanks for the info [20:42] anyone know to to make flash not lag in full screen? [20:42] GasFurnace: What's the Linux stock at? :) [20:42] dr_willis, tune2fs -c -1? [20:43] IDK [20:43] Bilange, not sure, i think it's a very widely spread convention really [20:44] nikitis, check the man pages. and be sure ya know what you are doing befor just toying with tune2fs.. also i recall some changes you make.. will not take effect till the filesystem gets remounted. [20:44] nikitis, that 5% reserved really adds up with TB sized hds :) [20:44] hi everyone. Got a question. What package should i install to be able to extract files from 7z archive? [20:44] cliff: 7z [20:45] Ted really should reduce the reserved percentage of blocks in ext3 [20:45] !info p7zip | cliff [20:45] cliff: p7zip (source: p7zip): 7zr file archiver with high compression ratio. In component universe, is optional. Version 4.57~dfsg.1-1 (hardy), package size 309 kB, installed size 920 kB [20:45] dr_willis, I restart my PC daily. (Not the greenest PC if you know what I mean.) Mostly to save power, and you can imagine the heat my drive bay generates. [20:45] Good night everyone! [20:45] hi to every one...i've got an issue with nautilus when copying data from the hd to a flash memory stick [20:45] data is corrupted [20:45] : thank you [20:45] LjL & soundray, thank you for your help. [20:45] Daremonai: yw [20:45] does anyone know if the harddrive wear and tear issue has been resolved for the new ubuntu? [20:45] is there an issue on ubuntu 8.04? [20:46] hi all [20:46] Optimus55: this was never an Ubuntu issue, much more a HD vendor one [20:46] can i ask for some help here [20:46] ? [20:46] exces, ask away [20:46] i have a small problem... i installed ubuntu [20:46] the latest one [20:46] exces: just ask [20:46] after that installed compiz fusion [20:46] everything was nice [20:46] !enter | exces [20:46] exces: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [20:46] it worked [20:47] naftilos76: any flash memory stick, or a particular one? [20:47] soundray: so it doesnt matter what distro i use? i was reading it was an ubuntu aggressive power management issue on laptops [20:47] ok :D and after restart... ubuntu didn;t worked anymore... [20:47] dr_willis, I must not be reading this man page right. I do tune2fs -c 0 and nothing happens [20:47] it appears to apply on most [20:47] Optimus55: no, the fault (if any) was for Ubuntu to accept default drive powersave settings. === eric is now known as talntid [20:47] soundray: still there can i query you ? [20:47] nikitis, i dont have the man pages memorised.. whats -c supposed to do> [20:47] i even tried on a Kingston [20:47] !!NEW DIST OF LINUX AVALIABLE!!!!!!! http://ptlancer.freehostia.com/ [20:47] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [20:48] kri: ask the whole channel. I'll reply if I can [20:48] dr_willis, it says usage as -c max_mounts_count [20:48] soundray: i'll check some more, thanks [20:48] I have a folder containing files nested in another folder and this combination is in my Trash Basket. Try as I might I can't delete (erase) the thing! Any shggestions greatly appreciated! [20:48] dr_willis, so I assume it's -c 0 [20:48] Optimus55: it's easy to find out whether you have this problem -- you'll hear the drive spinning up and down [20:48] nikitis, what do you expect it to do? it just changed a # on the drive. Nect time it mounts. the tools will check that # [20:48] supposing that i copy 1000 files in two directories results in a slightly different size [20:49] i tryed to install audacious... 'sudo apt-get install audacious' and not its finished? 'ldconfig deferred processing now taking place'... ? [20:49] so... can someone help me with that ... after installing compiz fusion and restart.. ubuntu frozen [20:49] dr_willis, no it's giving me usage like it wasn't done correctly [20:49] naftilos76: is that what you mean by corruption? [20:49] and now its finished** [20:49] they should be the same [20:49] ? [20:49] hi, is this crontab entry correct, if i want to execute "x" every third day? -> 0 20 */3 * * root x [20:49] naftilos76: not necessarily [20:49] Fat_Man: sudo aptitude rm -R ~/.Trash/* [20:49] !trash [20:49] The location of Trash has changed in 8.04, it is now located in ~/.local/share/Trash | Looking for the trash in previous versions: ~/.Trash [20:49] nikitis, i would have to double check the man pages.. I personally have never changed the count, just the %reserved [20:49] well, apart from that , opening some files gives me an error [20:50] ShackJack: Thanks, will try now... [20:50] is there a way to boot from a disk partition in vmware server? [20:50] naftilos76: an error? [20:50] nikitis, its -C not -c [20:50] this whole mess does not happen in MS windows [20:50] Fat_Man: ooops drop the aptitude ;) [20:50] naftilos76: MS what? [20:50] yea, an error like "error opening file" [20:50] dr_willis, i thought -C was to set what count the drive was on [20:50] how can i make a keyboard shortcut start quodlibet for me? [20:51] hey is there a way to detect if the power cable on a laptop is unplugged (like an event that is thrown), or to run a script when the said cable is plugged/unplugged? [20:51] dr_willis, -c sets the maximum. And it says in the man page if set to 0 or -1 it will disable tune2fs [20:51] nice [20:51] nikitis, no idea then. I was just looking at tune2fs --help [20:51] set it to -1 then perhaps.

[20:51] dr_willis, uh no [20:51] hasn't anybody heard that copying files to usb flash memories in nautilus results in corrupted data? [20:52] ShackJack: Tried and no work, will now drop attitude! [20:52] is there a easy way to change the resolution of an ubuntu 8.10 box if there isnt a monitor connected to? i just want to use it over remote desktop [20:52] Fat_Man: no aptitude from the command sudo rm -R ~/.Trash [20:52] m[a]tt: #ubuntu+1 [20:52] dr_willis, no didn't work either [20:52] i ve search the internet and found many - but no solution [20:52] exit [20:52] !compiz [20:52] Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion [20:52] nikitis, sudo tune2fs -c 0 /dev/sdd1 [20:52] works here [20:52] naftilos76: search launchpad [20:53] is this supposed to be a bug or something?

[20:53] when i close the terminal i opend audacious it close the program [20:53] kri: there should be a shortcut somewhere in the Applications menu [20:53] kri: does not appear on Aplications>Sound and Video ?

[20:55] if your usb device is a music device, ipod or generic, deffinately unmount it first [20:56] oh right right, misread that [20:56] MaxJays: you have to install libstdc++ version 5 [20:56] erUSUL, thnx [20:56] erUSUL, it is LVM, right! /dev/vg0-lv0 [20:56] naftilos76: I'm going to talk to you again when you've assumed a more polite tone. [20:56] erUSUL, slipped my mind [20:56] the thing is that for all usb sticks that i tried - nautilus ends up to be unreliable....windows don't....so there has to be a bug [20:57] That worked [20:57] i didn't mean to be rude... i apologize [20:57] that phrase just slipped away [20:57] naftilos76: okay, I just don't like to be interrogated. [20:58] ShackJack: Tried ' sudo rm -R ~/.Trash ' and got ' rm: cannot remove `/home/jb/.Trash': No such file or directory '. Then tried ' sudo rm -R ~/.Trash/* ' and got ' rm: cannot remove `/home/jb/.Trash/*': No such file or directory '. Any ideas?? [20:58] sorry for that! [20:58] naftilos76: I use various flash devices a lot, and I've never had an issue. [20:58] in nautilus? [20:58] !trash | Fat_Man ShackJack [20:58] Fat_Man ShackJack: The location of Trash has changed in 8.04, it is now located in ~/.local/share/Trash | Looking for the trash in previous versions: ~/.Trash [20:58] naftilos76: either that, or from the command line. [20:58] naftilos76: what file system do you have on that flash stick? [20:58] naftilos76, no issues here, are you sure there isnt a problemwitht eh source fie? [20:58] erUSUL: Erps thanks - I forgot that ;) [20:59] I'm trying to get a wpa connection working and failing, where would be a good place to ask about it? [20:59] Fat_Man: sooo... sudo rm -R ~/.local/share/Trash/* ;) [20:59] i ve tried again and again literaly for hours...trying both in nautilus and mswindows [20:59] nautilus failed [20:59] ShackJack: Amending as required, back in a sec..... [21:00] If I wanted to build a debmirror, can I use dvds, or can I take out multiverse if I dont want unsupported? [21:00] the file system is FAT32 [21:00] naftilos76: is the problem the same when you copy on the command line? [21:00] i don't know what to assume [21:01] well i didn't try from command line [21:01] naftilos76: I haven't tried FAT32 for flash sticks.. I usually use ntfs.. but I'll give it a try.. copying a couple of hundred files in nautilus, taking it out.. connecting it again and see if the files are ok? [21:01] ShackJack Ubottu: Now have an empty Trash Can, Thank You! [21:01] naftilos76: is the problem that Windows can't read files that nautilus has written? Or are they generally unreadable? [21:02] i removed gnash firefox can load flash an utube again 10x for the tip [21:02] generally corrupted [21:02] not all of them [21:02] just a few [21:02] Fat_Man: You're welcome - Ubottu is not real, was invoked by erUSUL and I'm sure he appreciates the thanks :) [21:02] just as info i installed firefox with wine and then the adobe flash player and it works 10x better than regular firefox + adobe-nonfree blah blah bla [21:02] naftilos76: so when you use nautilus to copy an affected file from the flash drive back to the hard disk, is it still "corrupted"? [21:03] Xcerca: Heehee - Firefox under WINE, never thought of that :) [21:03] well i haven't really tried that but i can tell you this: [21:03] hello [21:03] ShackJack: Had my suspicions about that Ubottu guy - seemed to know too much! === abesio is now known as LogicBox [21:04] Xcerca, does flash in wine have the transparencies? [21:04] while copying the same bunch of files to different directories... [21:04] yea... but when i watched a flash movie my cpu went to 100% and was laggy [21:04] hey can anyone help me out with an eeeUbuntu installation problem i am having [21:04] naftilos76: keep it all on one line please [21:04] DigitalFiz , what do you mean ? [21:05] LogicBox: describe the problem and if someone knows how to help, they will [21:05] Xcerca, go to http://virtualliveactors.com/ with the wine firefox and tell me if the girl that walks on has a green box or not [21:05] the capacity of the first directory was 622.3MB, the second dir was 622.4 and the third was !!!! some gigabytes !!! i don't remember how many [21:06] LogicBox: You might be better off on their specific support channels.. [21:06] good evening all [21:06] DigitalFiz, egads.. thats a feature that would drive me AWAY from a web site.. :) [21:06] do you think formating as ntfs will help? [21:07] dr_willis, i agree lol [21:07] DigitalFiz , no she looks good , no green box... [21:07] root@fs1:~# mount /home [21:07] /sbin/mount.gfs2: can't connect to gfs_controld: Connection refused [21:07] naftilos76: if you're reasonably certain that you've found a bug, please use the info that ubottu sent to report it [21:07] well i put the install disk in it comes up to boot menu letting me choose run, install, verify, etc.. and what happens is i click on install (have tried just running it from cd) and it shows the ubuntu logo and the status loading bar and then it just goes into a screen with text about Busybox v1.1.3 with some more txt then gives me what looks like a command line with a blinking cursor [21:07] Any ideas on that? [21:07] Xcerca, awesome thanks for the suggestion, does firefox through wine start up pretty quick? [21:07] can anyone help me on a strange network problem? [21:07] yea i can do that [21:07] naftilos76: that was Slart's suggestion.

[22:11] Slart: but dmesg don't display all informations displayed at boot... [22:11] snikker: you won't see BIOS messages and such.. but all the stuff scrolling by when the system boots is there [22:12] AlabamaHit, with the command dmesg in console you see sdX (X=a,b,c....) and the description of HD? [22:12] snikker: I don't think there is a way to see that info without actually rebooting [22:12] harriman , always check youtube to see if someone has done it .. then when you know it's possible try to do it [22:12] ahh thanks [22:12] harriman , i mean I do that [22:12] Slart: i need to see all informations displayed about demons and so on... [22:12] well i got dual boot. os x, ubuntu to work on macbook pro [22:12] you don't have to [22:13] awesome [22:13] <_LoneCrow> how do you set it up so you don't need to sudo every time [22:13] <_LoneCrow> so that su - works [22:13] yeah i would like to know that... [22:13] how can you be permanently sudo? [22:14] use sudo -s [22:14] or sudo -i [22:14] !root [22:14] 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 [22:14] set root pwd n login as root from console [22:14] that will last [22:14] omg [22:14] how? [22:14] <_LoneCrow> I don't mind the first time but after that the whole session I dont' want to have to type sudo ping 192.168.1.1 etc [22:14] sudo looks like user acount control on vista [22:14] hate it [22:14] _LoneCrow: ubuntu isn't designed to be used with the root user.. [22:14] i set my root pwd, startx from console, runs kde in root, otherwise if u set the pwd and try to login it won't let u [22:14] how come refit is not working on my system [22:14] semtido, think of this as a linux test..if you know enought to know how to set the root password.. then you just barely qualify as being knowing enough linux, to use root safely. :) [22:14] _LoneCrow: you can change the timeout on the sudo command though.. if that makes you happier =) [22:15] hey [22:15] why wouldn't it "be designed to run in root" [22:15] Anyone know about usb booting macbook pro [22:15] is Dolphin really the only other decently featured file browser? [22:15] how can I know which version of the ATI driver I'm using atm [22:15] there are plenty of things the end-user needs root privs for [22:15] but [22:15] look [22:15] deaftone: all kinds of little things.. [22:15] you really should avoide running X/kde/gnome as root. [22:15] <_LoneCrow> timeout.. yeah I dont' mind -but we have installers using ubuntu eee laptop that need to ping and telnet and such all the time but they are not linux savvy [22:15] i command it to do something. [22:15] Enabling the root account is not advisable and is not a "how to" that we can give out in this room...thanks. [22:15] anybody here get kino to work with pulseaudio? [22:15] it asks me for a password [22:15] i put it in [22:15] deaftone, actually, it's specifically designed _not_ to use root. [22:15] all the times [22:15] semtido: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. === free_vip is now known as fsfsfsefs [22:16] if i put the password all the times it asks me... its the same as being always super user [22:16] when i give an order, i want it to do it... no questions [22:16] Hi - have can I login to another ubuntu drev on the same harddisk ? [22:16] Hi, how do I switch on antialiasing for 3D effects with onboard graphics? [22:16] system security/reliablity is a process... You could jsut disable all users and only use root semtido but it just takes ONE mistake and your system is gone. [22:16] I'm using KDE4 [22:16] semtido, please be advised that this is a security feature and not a "annoy you when we can" [22:16] <_LoneCrow> its kinda crappy when you need sudo to telnet or ping [22:16] anynoe running ubuntu on a Dell D630 here? === fsfsfsefs is now known as free_vip [22:16] semtido: you can edit the sudo config file to not ask for the password [22:16] yes but [22:17] ahh ok [22:17] thats nice [22:17] how do i do that? [22:17] <_LoneCrow> where is this sudo config file/ [22:17] <_LoneCrow> ? [22:17] semtido: something with.. NOPASS. I think.. [22:17] yes but where is the file? [22:17] _LoneCrow, this is when you google for a 'sudo' tutoriual/check the sudoers man pages. [22:17] semtido: I can google for it.. or you can do it.. =) [22:17] there is MUCH more to 'sudo' then the command you use when you want to do rooty things. :) [22:17] i hate macs [22:17] edit the file /etc/sudoers with the command visudo [22:17] is ubuntu 8.10 official & its good OS or no [22:17] all i want to do is tripple boot. is that so hard [22:17] QUE DE GENTE [22:18] not spanish? [22:18] !es | ShiN-CHaN [22:18] ShiN-CHaN: 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. [22:18] harriman, not if you know how to manually configure grub. [22:18] R_AG: if you ask in here most people will say it's good.. I think it's ok [22:18] harriman: shouldn't be.. it's just one more line in grub, afaik [22:18] well obviously i dont know what im doing. fisst time installing ubuntu [22:18] slart have you done it? === Tizz_ is now known as Tizz [22:19] <_LoneCrow> sudoers thanks I'll check that out [22:19] ppl, can I have my home folders here in my office on a folder in /mnt/ ? [22:19] harriman: nope.. I dual-boot.. but that's it.. can't think of a third os I want to run =) [22:19] harriman, it pays to learn grub very well, when youa re doign things like that. [22:19] semtido, under user privilege write username ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL [22:19] Hi everybody. Could anyone help me to start with planet? [22:19] yeah dual boot is easy [22:19] afeijo, that wasent very clear.. You want to remotely access your machine at home? [22:19] hi [22:19] but i may need winders soem day [22:19] somebody know a program to run the internet through my mobile ? [22:19] ciao [22:19] *knows [22:19] hi dr_willis [22:20] harriman: well.. triple boot shouldn't be any harder.. unless you want to involve windows.. that makes things harder [22:20] semtido, where username is your username account [22:20] dr_willis: i believe he wants to access a folder like "home" from his desktop..... [22:20] yes i do want to involve windows [22:20] dr_willis: I can do that thru Network icon, using ssh [22:20] dr_willis: but with Filezilla, I dont show me that option [22:20] kantor: like, use your mobile as a modem to access internet? [22:20] i've followed the wiki and i still can't triple bot [22:20] ugh [22:20] dr_willis: so I thought of using MOUNT, can I do that? [22:20] arrrrr no tabbed file browsing? =( [22:20] dr_willis: so accessing /mnt/home it would show me all my home files [22:20] afeijo, you may want to check out that 'sshfs' tool. It lets you 'mount' a machine through ssh and have it appear as a local directory [22:21] afeijo: yeah you could mount it [22:21] gaintsura: who uses file browsers when you have a terminal? [22:21] cool [22:21] harriman: windows doesn't want you to dual/triple boot.. so it wont preserve any os's already installed.. that's the only problem afaik [22:21] Slart, yes [22:21] Robb_M: with sshfs like willis mention or mount itself? [22:21] !mount [22:21] For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted or !QTParted - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap [22:21] !sshfs [22:21] Sorry, I don't know anything about sshfs [22:21] bruenig: I'm a 50/50 person, I use both, depending on the task... but I'm tired of having 4 file windows open and having to remember which is which [22:21] hello all [22:21] installing sshfs [22:22] is anyone else having issues with the Undo-Tab add-on for FF3? [22:22] kantor: you setup ppp using the mobile as a modem.. I've done it on my laptop but I doubt I could do it again without a lot of googling [22:22] gaintsura: use screen + bash, then you have a tabbed file manager [22:22] afeijo, http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2005/10/28/how-to-mount-a-remote-ssh-filesystem-using-sshfs/ [22:22] So this Start your computer with the Ubuntu disk in the drive. Install Ubuntu by partitioning the boot camp drive that Windows is located on, and install both Ubuntu and GRUB bootloader onto the new partition. [22:22] huh? [22:22] won't destroy my windows install [22:23] harriman: installing ubuntu on a computer with windows installed wont kill the windows install.. don't know about the boot camp stuff [22:23] ok , thanks Slart I would try [22:24] not just on the same comptuer but on the same partation [22:24] i thought that when you partitioned a drive you formated it [22:24] can someone explain me how to make sound work for all aplications simultaneously? [22:24] harriman, you dont install to the 'same partition' [22:24] i can put it to work [22:24] harriman: oh.. installing on the same partition.. that will only work in special special special cases [22:24] if i use the commands in the console [22:24] pkill pulseaudio [22:24] dr_willis what do you mean [22:24] harriman, if you have linux, windows, and osx- each will be on its own partition. [22:24] harriman: you'll want at least one partition per operating system [22:24] followed by alsa force-reload [22:25] everytime i restart [22:25] harriman, eacgh on their own hard drive - would be even better. [22:25] so the wiki is wronig? [22:25] harriman: do you have an url to the wiki? [22:25] "Return" is not a punctuation mark. [22:25] dr_willis i'm installing to laptop with one hd [22:25] harriman, ive not read any wiki.. so cant verify.. [22:25] harriman: don't use the "guided" or "auto" option.. you'll want to choose manual partitioning. [22:25] I upgraded to Ibex beta and my track pad scroll and mute button don't work anymore. I can't find the settings to make the adjustments. any ideas?

[22:26] disconect [22:27] its best to have windows on the first partition of the hard drive also. [22:27] harriman: "Install Ubuntu by partitioning the boot camp drive".. once you've done that you no longer have just one partition [22:27] so i have to create a new partition? [22:27] hi [22:27] harriman, you will do so - during the install process.. yes.. [22:27] thanks dr_willis Robb_M [22:28] harriman, example layout , (windows) (osx) (linux) (swap partition) [22:28] harriman: windows always wants it's own partition.. ubuntu will probably want one too.. I suspect os X will want a partition of it's own too.. [22:28] harriman: I can't find anything that says to install them all to the same partition [22:28] i must have done something wrong then? [22:29] i need to create a new partition off the boot camp not format [22:29] ok [22:29] thanks guys [22:29] www.surestocks.info - arauj, is this the site you were talking about?

Then you need to hand over control of booting to the old grub. I imagine a rescue installation will do it, but I've honeslty not had to do it in a long time. Might be best to chroot into the old install and run some grub command or other. SOmeone here will have abetter idea, I'm sure. In [23:32] ey people, some of you have been able to use firedrop??
