[00:12] GhostFish: if you did that then you have the same issue I had with server.. go to #vmware and ask.. there is a solution but it's weird.. it might also be listed on vmware's site. [00:12] or follow the restricted driver instructions, it worked fine for my 8800gts 320 [00:12] anyone used the palm bluetooth GPS? [00:12] i cant find restricted drivers [00:12] ? [00:12] ....

[00:18] ubuntu__: and use the restricted drivers manager [00:18] ubuntu__: That will configure the X server. You will need to tell it to use the nvidia driver. [00:18] evrytime i switched my resolution to 1024x768 i get some lines on my screen [00:19] GhostFish: just ignore it.. did you put the live cd on a usb?

[00:19] and after i do this then what so i do [00:19] Is there a way to manually enable the wifi? [00:20] ubuntu__: The important ones are telling it to use 'nvidia' and picking 'Simple' for the screen setup. [00:20] GhostFish: I actually bookmarked it.. it says it's for server but might be worth a shot. http://www.howtoforge.com/vmware-server-on-ubuntu8.04 [00:20] then you restart x, and personally, i run nvidia-settings to fine tune things [00:20] ifconfig interface inet up [00:20] Acel [00:20] Can anyone send me in the right direction to get some computer help that is way over my head, please [00:20] can we go in privite chat plz [00:20] ubuntu__: When done and the new config files is saved, logout, hit ctrl-alt-backspace and log back in.

[00:25] ubuntu__: US (is what it should default to) [00:25] spiniker, that should be fine with the restricted drivers, under system -> administration -> hardware drivers [00:25] then click enable for nvidia [00:25] hello [00:25] ok wait ill try.. [00:25] ya [00:25] its askeing me to type the tyoe of keyboard [00:25] where do i type it [00:25] i have some problems with wine on ubuntu hardy heron [00:25] Why isn't there an option to use the previous driver? (ipl instead of iwl) [00:26] now, I also have a problem with the xrandr command on a tablet pc [00:26] well it says its in use [00:26] Ntemis, like what? [00:26] but i still get some lines [00:26] anybody familiar with that?? [00:26] johninLex: sounds like it's just not booting from the cd is that right? [00:26] ubuntu__: If its preselected, just hit tab until OK is hilighted and then hit return. [00:26] not very visible but one would actually notice [00:26] i installed slysoft clonedrive v5 and now i cannot remove the shortcut on the program files menu [00:26] o [00:26] oh [00:26] thz [00:26] ever if i have unistalled it [00:26] no the whole computer does not see any cd drive Scunizi [00:26] I have an Ubuntu Server box that isn't bringing up the 'lo' interface at boot, but that's crucial for many server processes. "sudo ifconfig lo up" does the trick, but how can I set it to do this upon boot (early in the boot process so daemons can initiate connections on 127.0.0.1)? [00:27] the shortcut stays there [00:27] does anyone have any decent knowledge of GRUM? [00:27] genii: Thanks, phew its just LTSP, I forgot I was messing with that. Thought it might have been those religious nutcases who hacked the server last time (when it run windows server 2003) and placed some indecipharable rubbish about hell [00:27] how i can remove it? [00:27] *GRUB [00:27] i have g-mount iso by the way [00:27] Ntemis, I've had that problem in Ubuntu 7.x- I'm not sure why or how to get rid of it [00:27] johninLex: did you happen to open your computer at all? if so you might need to just check the connections to the cdrom [00:27] ok [00:27] i thought to apt-get remove wine and apt-get install it again [00:27] earthsound: I have a webpage with lots of grub info [00:27] With xbindkeys, how can I determine which "associated key"s correspond to my mouse buttons (back/forward, zoom, etc.)? Is there a way to just press the button and get the associated key? [00:27] Y-Town: I don't have any ipods plugged in there just files that remained and i want to get rid of them [00:27] i went thigh keyboard questions [00:27] then it went out of it [00:27] but this is not a fix! [00:28] so now what do i do [00:28] rdvade: Ah, nothing to worry over then [00:28] unfortunately [00:28] ubuntu__: continue the dialog until it says it has saved the new config file. [00:28] http://home.oscarfranzen.se/gparted-part2.png How can i solve this and create one new large partiotion + swap? [00:28] im having problems playing xvid files using totem-gstreamer (gstreamer-ugly and gstreamer-ffmpeg installed). the videos play VERY slowly, like 1 frame per second. is this a known problem with a fix? [00:28] it boright be back to the kernal [00:28] Scunizi let me check the mother board are you going to bee here foe a little bit [00:28] danbhfive: GRUB is throwing an error 22 (i think it's the no partition error, but it only give the #) when I add a slave IDE HD [00:28] johninLex: the other thing you could try is to reboot and hit the "Delete" key when the computer beeps.. that should dump you into the bios setup screen look in there to see if the cd is listed.. then escape save and [00:28] anyone have any idea why mp4's are coming up with the wrong duration? ive tried multiple players and i get the same result 4:21 when it should be 6:00 [00:28] <[Lowkey]> I need help getting my webcam integrated microphone to work. The camera works fine but the microphone wont work at all. I tried to go into volume options and setting 'usb camera' as the microphone and made sure its not muted and stuff. Can anyone help me please? :) [00:28] johninLex: for a little bit. [00:28] allquixotic - that interface should be brought up automatically - check your /etc/network/interfaces file. you should have a listing like # Loopback Device [00:28] auto lo [00:29] no clicking after doing xrandr -o inverted [00:29] dante123: is there any way i could adjust it or what? [00:29] ubuntu__: Ok, so you also told it about which driver to use and the screen size? [00:29] iface lo inet loopback [00:29] no [00:29] it didnt ask about that [00:29] ok Scunizi I should not be long [00:29] hi [00:29] it was asking about my keyboard [00:29] How does one enable Pulse Audio in hardy please? [00:29] johninLex: k [00:29] earthsound: I think that means that it can't find the menu.lst [00:29] ubuntu__: *obly* the keyboard? [00:29] normally, I have a master IDE HD with Winblows XP & a SATA HD with 4 partitions: 1st NTFS storage space, 2 ext3 & a swap partition [00:29] also how i can make xarchiver when it unrars or unzip files to create a folder with the archives name for it [00:29] That's not right. hrm. [00:29] obly????? [00:29] and put the data there [00:30] is there something to do to make it work like that? [00:30] danand: /etc/network/interfaces has "auto lo eth1" followed by iface eth1 inet static (because this server is public internet-facing so needs static IP) [00:30] and it's set to boot hd(1,2) normally (my ubuntu installation) [00:30] so it broght me back to the terminal without asking me any video card things did i do something rong [00:30] !fixgrub | earthsound I _think_ following the windows directions should do the trick. Connect your drive, and follow the recovery instructions to reinstall grub [00:30] earthsound I _think_ following the windows directions should do the trick. Connect your drive, and follow the recovery instructions to reinstall grub: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [00:30] but when I add an IDE HD to the slave portion of the IDE cable (BIOS detects all 3 drives) i cannot get to the GRUB menu :| [00:30] hello all, in the new 8.04, would i be able to play hardware accelerated video? i couldn't do it when i last installed ubuntu 7.04 and it was kind of a dealbreaker for me. (graphics card: intel gma950) [00:31] no clicking after doing xrandr -o inverted, advice pleeeeeease [00:31] allquixotic - no entry for lo ?? [00:31] i want xarchiver when extracting files to put them into a folder and not on the path that the rar/zip file is! [00:31] danand: /etc/network/interfaces says "auto lo eth1" but does not otherwise mention lo [00:31] Hello all, I use the new samba GUI and point it towards my music folder, but I can't find it on my windows machine.. I did everything right, gave guest access read and write and all that good stuff. But the changes never appear in smb.conf.. Help? [00:31] With xbindkeys, how can I determine which "associated key"s correspond to my mouse buttons (back/forward, zoom, etc.)? Is there a way to just press the button and get the associated key? [00:31] I can do this temporarily while the 2nd IDE HD is plugged in? [00:31] does it have to do with the X server config, or with the driver itself??? [00:31] can anyone help me to get firewire working pleade [00:31] if anyone knows how to accomplish this please tell [00:31] danand: the strangest part is that "sudo ifconfig lo up" solves the problem as if it knows exactly what to do with lo [00:31] earthsound: I'm guessing, but maybe the addition of the drive is changing the boot order of the drives, and hd1 is becoming hd2, so grub cant find it [00:31] please? [00:32] How does one enable Pulse Audio in Hardy please? [00:32] or is there any other program to do this or is there a way to assosiate rar/zip files with winrar? [00:32] so what do i do now [00:32] Ntemis: just drag the file into the folder when extracting [00:32] ubuntu__: We'l;l try it again, but slightly differently. [00:32] that could be it, as well. though I think my BIOS has a setting for SCSI-SATA boot order and it's set to SCSI (I believe) which I assumed it was treating IDE as SCSI [00:32] i did [00:32] ubuntu__: 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow xserver-xorg' [00:32] Ntemis: or rather, open up the archive, and drag the file into the folder of your choice [00:32] its only asking me keyboard things [00:32] hello [00:32] k ill try agian [00:32] brb [00:32] that should ask ALL its questions, including about gfx card and screen. [00:33] Synergy_Peace: system/preferences/sound [00:33] i'm in ubuntu right now...when I unplug the 2nd IDE HD GRUB works just fine :| [00:33] nickellery:then i have to create a folder and then rename the folder after i have unziped the file to take it and drag it into it [00:33] thats a diff code [00:33] Too much work [00:33] Synergy_Peace, in the menus somewhere under sound [00:33] !nvidia [00:33] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [00:33] <[Lowkey]> I need help getting my webcam integrated microphone to work. The camera works fine but the microphone wont work at all. I tried to go into volume options and setting 'usb camera' as the microphone and made sure its not muted and stuff. Can anyone help me please? :) [00:33] it's a command, no code. Probably easier for helpers to refer to it as such. [00:33] that code does nothing [00:33] Ntemis: what type of archive are you trying to extract? [00:33] allquixotic - hmmm that sounds wrong to me - probably should just be auto lo rather than auto lo eth1. my (standard) /etc/network/interfaces file has - auto lo on one line followed by iface lo inet loopback on the next ... [00:33] Im looking for a users xinitrc content but its not in the home dir ? [00:34] rar mainly [00:34] http://home.oscarfranzen.se/gparted-part2.png How can i solve this and create one new large partiotion + swap?

[00:34] what packages do i install for pulse audio? [00:34] ntemis: you can use winrar to unrar rar files [00:34] danbhfive: It doesn't combien the free space inte one partition [00:34] um now what that new code you gave me does nothing [00:34] danand: I didn't have the "iface lo inet loopback" in there at all. Added that, and restarting to see if that does the trick :) [00:34] Synergy_Peace, its already installed I think [00:35] ntemis: sudo apt-get install rar unrar [00:35] ubuntu__: If that does not bring up a configuration screen then something is pretty wrong with your system, I'd hazard. [00:35] look at the drop down boxes in preferences> sound [00:35] allquixotic - just try sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart ... no need for reboot... [00:35] somethig came up [00:35] so from everything i've read, there is no way to get aircrack to work with my Broadcom wireless card. does anyone have any advice?? [00:35] Oggu: how much ram do you have?

[00:36] danand: yes, but there's no way to know for sure because lo is already up on this boot, I brought it up manually. besides, I need to reboot for installing kernel updates :) [00:36] Scunizi: the only problem is that I cannot get to the GRUB menu to press e to edit it and select the correct HD to boot from :( [00:36] ubuntu__: 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow xserver-xorg' [00:36] Ntemis: sorry, what is the problem then [00:36] danbhfive: 2.5gb [00:36] johninLex: earthsound do it in the bios of the computer [00:36] allquixotic - ok :) [00:36] ubuntu__: Please use it as I typed it. Not half missing. [00:36] now it worked [00:36] you have mixed up rar/unrar support of xarchiver with winrar program [00:36] thats werid [00:36] o well [00:36] brb [00:36] :) [00:36] Oggu: start by creating a swap space at the beginning of the drive, about 3g [00:36] danbhfive: It looked like this before, deleted the partitions in extended http://home.oscarfranzen.se/gparted-part.png [00:36] mvinsc: if you want to sniff traffic, you'll need a card with monitor mode support i guess [00:37] anyone know of a good app for docking and undocking a dell laptop? [00:37] Oggu: do you want a separate home directory? [00:37] tablet pc support please [00:37] no [00:37] where are the "power settings" located. ie: where can I choose what happens when I close my laptop [00:37] apt-get install rar unrar will make xarchiver able to unrar and rar [00:37] Oggu: * partition? [00:37] danbhfive: just an ext partiton for my files [00:37] ubuntu is on sda3 [00:37] Ntemis: what I am trying to mention is that instead of using xarchiver, you can use winrar [00:37] Scunizi: ok, i'm going to come in here on another machine & reboot this one [00:37] shady: tablets are supported, provided thy can use the wacom drivers. [00:37] cafuego: new laptop, i really don't want to swap parts [00:37] i want to use winrar [00:38] right I know cafuego [00:38] mvinsc: If you're stuck with a broadcom chip, you won't be sniffing wifi traffic. Easy as that. [00:38] is it possible to make ubuntu open rar and zip files with winrar? [00:38] Oggu: right click the /dev/sda3 and choose edit, I think you should be able to expand its size [00:38] ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow xserver-xorg [00:38] xserver-xorg postinst warning: overwriting possibly-customised configuration [00:38] file; backup in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.20080502163908 [00:38] however this is not a wacom component [00:38] it is a Fujitsu [00:38] FPI2004 [00:38] cafuego: thanks :-( [00:38] it didnt ask me any video questons [00:38] danbhfive: think i have to unmount it then..

[00:40] danbhfive: Do you mean that i shoukld expand my sda3 with the space beetwen it and my new swap. then decrease it and put all the free space at the end [00:41] johninLex: sounds like an issue I had with a hP lightscribe I had.. used it 4 times and it was recognized but wouldn't work.. sorry I"m stuck for answers on this one. :( [00:41] thanks cafuego, let me take a look at it, I already did all that I think, hold on === matt64- is now known as erle- [00:41] Does Ubuntu even work with lightscribe drives?

[00:47] marcel: I would suggest moving files over a network [00:47] amenado: gee your a big help. the time it took you to post that line could have been used typing ou8t the 4 words that lsof stands for [00:47] this is the second time in a row i've gotten an "Executing 'grub-install (hd0) failed/ This is a fatal error." error message while trying to install Ubuntu on my MacBook [00:47] dmsuperman: you don't see something like "state 0x210, button 2, same_screen YES" when you click a button while the cursor is in the xev window?

[00:51] ubuntu__: have you installed the NVidia drivers? [00:51] amenado: it isnt laziness it is a lack of being able to understand the man pages [00:51] i dont know how [00:51] Ntemius: you want to use WinRAR inside Ubuntu@? [00:51] have any bug fixes been uploaded to hardy repositories yet?

[00:52] beffor i install ubuntu [00:52] ubuntu__: there is no accelerated graphics support for NVidia cards WITHIN the LiveCD [00:52] you mean you have to install it for it to work [00:52] cafuego: looks like a reboot might be in order to sort it out. also I wanted to ask.. did you notice in my xorg that I had the "force Device" on and Option "usb" "on" commented out? would that make a difference? [00:52] ubuntu__: you'll need to install then fix it after doing that [00:52] i tried switching my screen resolution [00:52] how would you fix it [00:52] ? [00:52] ubuntu__: because the NVidia driver is classified as "restricted" that means that you have to add repos to enable the enhanced features of your card [00:52] and now its all black and i cant even log in [00:53] .. [00:53] no idea what you just ssaid [00:53] my im AM SO HAPPY [00:53] if you don't see me in a couple hours, the clean install for hardy exploded... :) [00:53] ok..I am having problems wityh ubuntu 8.04 [00:53] ok [00:53] ubuntu__: install Ubuntu, and then go to the main menu and fish around until you find Restricted Hardware [00:53] ill install to hard drive now [00:53] i know where to find it [00:53] one more question [00:53] I cannot seem to get a gui running under the server version [00:53] Khisanth, for one of my buttons it returns button 2, which is my right click button [00:53] how do you uninstall ubuntu [00:53] ubuntu__: it will show you a video card and have a check mark, it will be unchecked, check it, it will ask you some questions, say yes [00:53] I( cant seem to install tomcat under the desktop version [00:53] amenado: yeah and the actual answer was 3 words [00:53] Khisanth, and 2 of them don't even register an event [00:53] ubuntu__: format your HD and start over [00:53] tessa: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start [00:53] i have vista on [00:54] i dont want to formatt [00:54] ubuntu__: format the partition that ubuntu is on [00:54] Scunizi: I don't know enough about the wacom driver to be able to give you a sensible answer on that [00:54] Ice_Wewe: That assumes he already knows how to add restriced to his list of repositories [00:54] ok [00:54] or delete it [00:54] Ice_Wewe: And has done so [00:54] Scunizi: ...is doesnt seem to want to do that , after I installed gdm [00:54] genii: yeah, I'm not that great at handling n00bs... [00:54] the partistion program in ubutu can it format [00:54] GoSox - when you first boot your computer you can press del or F1 or some other key to access the bios. the bios is stored on a chip on your computers motherboard and basically controls how the machine starts up and where to look to load your operating system. Some bioses have a security feature that prevents any writing of data to a special sector on your hard drive called the master boot record (MBR). the master boot record holds the instructions for wher [00:54] genii: the GUI will do that for him [00:54] cafuego: thanks for the help though.. I'll play around with it and see what I come up with. [00:54] danand: this is a macbook [00:54] well ill go and install ubuntu [00:54] GoSox - needs to write to that part of your disk... [00:54] thz [00:55] tessa, did you install xfce (xubuntu) or Ubuntu (gnome) or Kubuntu (kde)? [00:55] Scunizi: ..are you telling me that gdm is already installed under the server version ? [00:55] genii: if you check the box to use restricted drivers, it will ask you if you want to add the repos and will then proceed to download and install the appropriate packages [00:55] starnestommy: i swithed to 1024x768,and now i cant even see a damn thing,it already happend twice,and sad to say that these is the third [00:55] GoSox - no bios ?? [00:55] i been talking to a other guy for 2 hours trying to get this working and all i had to do is install it [00:55] lol [00:55] no [00:55] when I type apt-get install ntfs-3g computer tells me it is the latest version. What else do I have to do to be able to view my ntfs XP partition [00:55] Scunizi: ..I installed the server version, and it will have been the gneom version is there was a choice [00:55] starnestommy:i ended up re installing [00:55] GoSox - crap ... that took me ages to type :) [00:55] im having trouble installing live usb with ubuntu. the command is ;cp -aR casper disctree dists install pool preseed .disk /mnt/usb_disc. it returns with ;cp: cannot stat `disctree': No such file or directory . does anyone know what i may be doing wrong? [00:55] spiniker: what type of card is it? [00:55] tessa: nope.. it's not.. you have to install it yourself with sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop or ubuntu-desktop [00:55] danand: all for nothing haha [00:55] Ice_Wewe: Ah, nice. Haven't seen that since one of first edits i do is add it manually in sources.list [00:55] I am trying to get a handle on this linux file structure, where should I install a game, off of root; /root/MyNewGame ? [00:55] nvidia agp fx5500 [00:56] tessa: server comes only with a command line [00:56] Scunizi: ..are you telling me taht AFTER I install the server version, then I should install the desktop verion using apt-get ? [00:56] lol, a lul [00:56] tessa: yes [00:56] Scunizi: ok, i'm in my BIOS, what should I be looking for? [00:56] jlc: never install anything in any directory other than /opt or your /home directory... [00:56] ah... thats nbot clear except for mythbuntu [00:56] duh...ok..me reinstall [00:56] FastZ, ty [00:56] starnestommy:it was functioning,but when i change the resolution to 1024 i get some lines,and now its all black [00:56] genii: I just had to do it on my PVR because I'm using Mythbuntu, I don't mess around with that cr*p unless I have to (I run gentoo on my desktop, so adding restricted stuff is really a moot point) [00:56] jlc: somewhere in your /home/ directory, or install the executables in /usr/local/bin, shared files in /usr/local/share, libraries in /usr/local/lib, and config files in /usr/local/etc/ [00:56] GoSox - I know that Mac has its own boot loader ... do you still have OSX installed? [00:56] Scunizi: ..is there likley to be any problem with twin dual core opterons ? [00:57] earthsound: remind me .. grub issue or cd rom.. been talking to a lot ob people. [00:57] Did anyone answer my question? How do I get rid of a screensaver? [00:57] the BIOS detects the original master IDE HD as primary master & detects the added HD as primary slave [00:57] tessa: with 32bit server.. probably not [00:57] and the 2 optical drives as secondary master/slave [00:57] grub issue [00:57] eboyjr: you mean deleate it? [00:57] danand: yes i have a main os x partition, then a small os x one and trying to make a small linux one. it gets 94% of the way through installing, then gets that error [00:57] i fixed my desktop display,but my boot screen and login window display is bad. [00:57] Scunizi: ..are you telling me that the 64 bit server is liley to have a problem ? [00:57] Can ubuntu play mp3's out of the box, or do I need to install additional software? [00:57] SATA & SCSI boot order is SATA,SCSI [00:57] spiniker: I'm not sure how to fix it for agp nvidia cards [00:57] Simonft, Well, just move the file to somewhere else just in case. [00:58] and i grub should be installed on hd0,0, which is the IDE primary master HD [00:58] tessa: No issues so far with 8.04 server on a quad Opteron system here [00:58] starnestommy:is there a room where i can get help? i cant even log-in on ubuntu [00:58] genii... tyhank you [00:58] thanks [00:58] tessa: np [00:58] tessa: no.. It's just that if you have no 64 bit experience don't use it.. most programs are compiled for the 32bit environment and not all will work in 64 bit without some tweeking. [00:58] spiniker: this channel, or the forums [00:58] ok... Scunizi .... i was Using 64 bit Centos [00:58] when I add the 2nd HD to the primary slave slot on the IDE cable, i get this: [00:58] crazyeight, to answer the first ?, no, it cant and to answer the second, yes. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu [00:58] but Centos doesnt have ipx [00:58] GoSox - think that mac's bootloader can enable dualbooting of osx/linux... that way you can skip the install of grub... [00:58] earthsound: and when you remove the master does it boot? or when you remove the primary slave HD it boots? [00:58] anywhere... [00:58] veryifying DMI Pool Data... [00:59] Boot from CD: (twice) [00:59] GRUB Loading stage 2.5. [00:59] tessa: if you're use to that then go for it.. [00:59] GRUB loading, please wait... then Error 22 [00:59] okk..time to reinstall then [00:59] well anyway thanks..guess im gonna end up re installing again.. [00:59] genii: I use ubuntu on machines where I can't be bothered to go insane installing Gentoo, it's a very nice distro [00:59] haven't tried removing the master HD [00:59] guess i should :| [01:00] allquixotic - glad lo is up and running :) [01:00] * Scrounch is now away: off [01:00] brb [01:00] spiniker: actually, try running "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" first in recovery mode [01:00] earthsound: you just need to reinstall grub.. are you registered here on freenode? [01:00] ok..let me get this right... first, install server version ..then install mythbuintu, then install unbuntu-desktop ? === Scrounch is now known as Scrounch[AfK] === Scrounch[AfK] is now known as Scrounch [01:00] marcel ntfs3g [01:00] yes [01:00] tessa: no.. you never mentioned mythbuintu [01:00] no clicking yet [01:01] Scunizi..well..I need the server aps.... [01:01] tessa: if you want server install server then ubuntu-desktop [01:01] not even by using the synaptics touchpad [01:01] on inverted mode [01:01] Ice_Wewe: Yes, Gentoo is a pita to setup initially [01:01] ok..ill try [01:01] earthsound try to pm me [01:01] Scunizi: removing the master HD results in "A disk read error occurred" Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart" [01:01] Hey guys, I'm currently reinstalling ubuntu and I'm planning on separating my / /home and /swap partitions; should I make a small /boot partition as well [01:02] need help [01:02] b/c that's where grub is installed [01:02] SilverStreak: I ALWAYS have a small boot sector [01:02] im installing ubuntu and i was wondering how to dual boot [01:02] i just don't know why grub is having a problem just b/c another HD is plugged in [01:02] how can I install a VIA PCI sata card on ubuntu? [01:02] Should it be within the extended partition tessa? [01:02] tessa: why do you need the server apps in order to use Mythbuntu? Just burn Mythbuntu to a CD and install it as your operating system. You don't need to install the server or desktop version of Ubuntu first [01:02] SilverStreak: Im guessing, but I don't think that will help [01:02] Where are the screen saver files? [01:02] earthsound: plug it back in and put the live cd in the machine and let it boot.. [01:02] SilverStreak - i always do ... 100 - 150 Mb is _Plenty_ for /boot [01:02] ubuntu ... install WIndows first, and then inst5allubuntu./.it will take care of it all for you [01:02] Why is there no warning on Ubuntu's site about upgrading to Heron? Upgrades in Ubuntu never work for me (I've tried on several different systems). [01:02] well, i only have the alternative CD, will that suffice? [01:03] im installing ubuntu and i was wondering how to dual boot [01:03] ubuntu__, i have a good article on that if you want to look at it, its walk-thru [01:03] ubuntu_ just install GRUB [01:03] ok [01:03] where [01:03] ubuntu__: If you already have Windows installed, GRUB should automatically be configured. [01:03] grub? [01:03] can any body please help on installing a PCUsata card [01:03] absolutely correct kazol [01:03] ubuntu__, if you have xp on already it will set up dual boot for you [01:04] ubuntu__, join me in #SeaPhor [01:04] Fast...well...actually ...I NEED the server apps like tomcat and netbeans/.. and I'd like to have TV [01:04] ubuntu__: When you install Ubuntu, just resize the existing NTFS windoze partition, the rest should be done automatically. [01:04] ok [01:04] im jsut makeing sure its going to do that [01:04] in case the installation fails, GRUB will not be installed either [01:04] i thought it would [01:04] ubuntu__, ubuntu install will that is [01:04] hi, just a test [01:04] what format should /boot be in? [01:04] ubuntu__ - grub is the bootloader ... it allows you to choose the OS you want to boot when you turn on the machine [01:05] SilverStreak - ext3 [01:05] alrighty [01:05] i installed openvpn, ran a perl script and now i can't surf the web and when i try to use irssi i get 'name or service not found' (i'm on the live cd) - i am able to use bittorrent though. how can i fix this please? [01:05] tessa, well, then the way I see it you have 2 options. Install the server version of Ubuntu, then install Myth (not Mythbuntu) and then install whatever else you need for TV. Or, install Mythbuntu and then install the TV stuff you need [01:06] Fast.,... thanks [01:06] have started install [01:06] Scunizi, I got it now, I had to go to the stupid device manager, the thing I forgot about, that what I get for not useing windows anymore [01:06] laeg: Sounds like the perl script is suspect [01:06] johninLex: :) congrats! [01:06] What are some good distros (for desktop use) do you guys recommend? I am about to erase my Ubuntu installation after several issues. [01:06] i have a question. I am trying to upload some pics on my hd to myspace and in ubuntus picture viewer thingy it shows them straight but when its uploaded they are sideways. how can i fix this? [01:06] kazol.... Centos [01:07] I did forget all about the device manager, I dont know why but I did, Scunizi [01:07] tessa: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV might find this web page useful [01:07] ogre: in The GIMP you should be able to rotate the image [01:07] kazol you won't find anything better than ubuntu [01:07] Fast... ty [01:07] genii: when i try to look at my network settings and ip etc it's grayed out [01:07] kazol you can try pclinuxos though [01:07] Fa: Yeah, right. [01:07] johninLex: selective ignorance [01:07] xrandr help, please [01:07] who knows alot about writing ubuntu iso to a usb stick so as to build a live, bootable system ? [01:07] kazol: Fedora, OpenSUSE, LinuxMint... just to name a few [01:08] Fa: Are you kidding me? [01:08] The problem with Centos and the other RHEL5 distros is that their is no capability for connecting to novell networks.,.which is why I am changing...otherwise I would not [01:08] no why? [01:08] Fa: I was thinking more of something like Gentoo, etc. [01:08] kazol: well if you want a reliable easy to use os ubuntu is my recommendation. other distros lack the "out of the box" functionality [01:08] andrew-2: I've heard that it's pretty much the same process as installing Ubuntu on an HDD, just install it on the thumbdrive instead. [01:08] Scunizi, that the only half of it, just glad it is working maybe I might be able to get ubuntu back yeaaaaa [01:08] kazol: you're asking that question in an ubuntu support channel, so people are obviously going to recommend ubuntu in here [01:08] how can I tell what version of ubuntu i am running? [01:09] aoirthoir: lsb_release -a [01:09] kazol go to #linux and ask around [01:09] When are we going to get photo editing applications in Ubuntu. Cinepaint was removed from Hardy, so how do I get 16bit support [01:09] hi all [01:09] why compiz make my pc slower ? [01:09] Fa: I did, just trying to get another perspective. [01:09] Starnestommy: danke [01:09] Fa: kazol: There are a lot of better distros besides Ubuntu. Ubuntu is easy to learn and use, but there are several better distros. Actually, it's all personal preference anyway [01:09] laeg: You were trying to connect to some remote vpn server? [01:09] aLeSD: because your PC is doing more. [01:09] SilverStreak: would this create a boot like disk or more of a like installer like disk? [01:09] I mean gnome-terminal is faster but f-spot no ? [01:09] How do I fricken' delete a screen saver?!!!! [01:09] This is so frustrating! [01:10] Hello all, I just did a fresh install. good news is that the system monitor and disk usage analyzer are actually recognizing /dev/sda1 (set as ext3) my internal hard drive... bad news is i still have to boot from USB or else it hangs. also, in file browser, my "file system" only has 60MB free, and my internal HD is listed as "78.5 GB Media" [01:10] and the preview of the pics too [01:10] * andrew-2 likes the word like [01:10] It'd create a bootable drive; you want something that you can install Ubuntu onto other PCs with? [01:10] and scrolling a tesxt is slow too [01:10] *oops wanted to add, any help is much appreciated. [01:10] Hi, I'm having a problem with ubuntu remote desktop. Configuring it via the gui to allow only local conenctions doesn't seem to work properly. Any ideas? [01:10] SilverStreak: yeah thats right [01:10] fde: but I was thinking that the Gpu was working [01:11] I have a 7.10 pen drive [01:11] Hmm, I am not quite sure about doing that andrew-2 [01:11] I can't get 8.04 to go on the pen drive though :( [01:11] eboyjr: look in /usr/lib/xscreensaver/ for the screensaver and delete the file... every time the package updates, the screensaver will come back though. [01:11] 7.10 works flawlessly here on a USB key [01:11] genii: yes [01:11] aLeSD: It is... [01:11] How big is 7.10 unpacked? [01:11] SilverStreak: about 2 GB [01:11] aLeSD: So is the CPU though... [01:11] laeg: Was it able to? [01:11] fbe : I mean things are going better (faster) of this is the best [01:11] genii: i deleted openvpn completely with synaptic and i remove /etc/openvpn and the contents [01:11] What is the average like ubuntu install size? [01:11] genii: i can't pastebin you the exact output when i ran the script [01:11] ? [01:12] once installed with all the default apps* [01:12] stemount^: about 2 GB [01:12] genii: please bear with me [01:12] ah [01:12] fde, Thanks... I'll try it [01:12] laeg: OK, bearing with you :) [01:12] eboyjr, just turn your screensave off! system>preferences>screen saver [01:12] genii: :( [01:12] SilverStreak: would you assume that the procedure is the same ? ..... since in ths particular instance i will try to install gentoo as the install system, however seeing that my current functioning system is ubuntu i would basicly have to follow the how to from ubuntu and replace the "installer" with gentoo [01:12] fde : I don't understand what is the difference between scroll a text with compiz or metacity [01:13] aLeSD: Neither scroll, they are just Window Managers. [01:13] ok ..can I install desktop from a CDROM under the server distro, father than downloading it from the net ? [01:13] aLeSD: compiz and metacity are different window managers, but they also manage widgets on windows [01:13] andrew-2: I have no idea [01:13] How do I go about installing a PCI sata card in ubuntu [01:13] aLeSD: Compiz and Cairo both are fighting for GPU resources though... and Cairo draws most widgets. [01:13] PKsteR : just plug it in [01:13] PKsteR: Usually they work without drivers [01:14] Hi, I'm having a problem with ubuntu remote desktop. Configuring it via the gui to allow only local connections doesn't seem to work properly. I want to try avoid iptables if possible. Any ideas? [01:14] tessa: you can install "ubuntu-desktop" over the net. I dunno if you can install that if you put the metapackage on a CD... [01:14] fde Starnestommy I don't understand if compiz is the right way [01:14] In fact PKsteR, I have one in my box. :) [01:14] genii: http://pastebin.com/m7e587a0d [01:14] I mean kde4 use 3d effects [01:14] Scunizi, I will see you back on the ubuntu side bbl [01:14] aLeSD: I don't use Compiz because I don't need those effects... it's something neat to show friends, but that's about it. [01:14] genii: i just did a 'perl scriptname laeg passsword' [01:14] aLeSD: kde4 and compiz do 3d effects differently [01:15] Starnestommy: Not really, they both use AIGLX [01:15] Starnestommy: could u esxplain me please ? [01:15] Starnestommy : you meant KDE and GNOME with compiz do 3d differently I belive [01:15] I 'm leaving compiz cause is not usabke ,,,,it's really .. only to show [01:16] You just want to turn off desktop effects then? [01:16] so if i have an mplayer and aplay playing audio at the same time, then I've probably set up the alsa pulseaudio plugin correctly, right? [01:16] but ... in my opinion gpu has to make the pc faster not slower [01:16] Tux2K8: Compiz is a Windows Manager... it follows follows specs that allow it to run with KDE or GNOME, KDE and GNOME are not Window Managers though... Metacity and Kwin are the Window Managers for those desktops. [01:16] <_paradox_> i upgraded to 8.04 hardy about a week ago. i havent gotten any system updates since. have just none been sent out yet? [01:16] If so, I believe that it's just system > preferences > desktop effects [01:16] aLeSD: compiz still has to use the CPU for some things [01:16] laeg: Give me a few minutes for researching [01:16] if i install ark into hardy will i broke anything? [01:16] _paradox_: try a sudo apt-get install update command [01:16] genii: cool ty, i can also link you the perl script? [01:17] ok..anotehr question... does the desktop version have a firewall inside it that is automatically set up./.if so ..how do I turn it off ? [01:17] i want to make it my default rar extractor [01:17] Starnestommy: is metacity going to 3d ? [01:17] aLeSD: it's mostt likely going to stay 2d [01:17] <_paradox_> sudo apt-get install update [01:17] tessa: iptables is there by default, but I don't know if it does anything [01:17] compiz is a pretty bad window manager.. just to clarify [01:17] aLeSD: there was a branch of Metacity that was going to... but it's looking like Compiz will just replace it in Gnome. [01:17] laeg: No, I don't need the perl script. [01:17] Luminocity I think [01:18] genii: nps, ty ty :) [01:18] tessa: iptables is already installed, but there are no rules in it by default and it is set to allow things unless there's a rule blocking something [01:18] fde ... I can't belive it [01:18] where are tempory files/user history/thumbnails/ anything related to user history store in....can i clear out all user history and usage [01:18] <_paradox_> update manager is still available in the menu [01:18] tessa: Linux has a firewall by default, regardless of the type (ubuntu desktop, server, Fedora, SUSE, etc) they all have iptables built in to the kernel [01:18] fde . compiz with all effect disactived ... is slower [01:18] aLeSD: You don't have to... it is what is being discussed. [01:19] Starnestommy, iptables is set to block all incoming connections by default [01:19] aLeSD: Hence why it's not the case yet. [01:19] mmm [01:19] ok [01:19] beer [01:19] i need some help with another one of these annoying "can't empty my trash" problems [01:19] FastZ: no, it allows incoming connetions when a program binds to a port and opens it [01:19] hello:) [01:19] laeg: That website says they use pptp. Try ubuntu instructions here http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-configure-ubuntu-fedora-linux-pptp-client.html [01:20] <_paradox_> its just i usually get updates every other day and now none in a week [01:20] i hate my life [01:20] aheckler: right click, empty trash doesnt work? [01:20] genii: so i did connect? i mean i have deleted the script and openvpn and even after a restart i can't surf or irssi [01:20] i somehow lost sound on my box... i have upgraded to hardy and it was all working well. i no longer get sound and i get an error about pulse audio - unable to connect to server [01:20] okay. [01:20] aheckler: Just open the Trash and hit the "Empty Trash" button inside... [01:20] Y-Town: nope, apparently only root has the permissions to modify some files in my trash, so I can't delete them [01:20] fde: tried it [01:21] Starnestommy, this may be true, but by default, all incoming connections are blocked... only after you install programs that binds to a port and opens it will that port be opened... but this is not the case by "default" [01:21] need help [01:21] i thought i had been using alsa - not sure if pulse audio is different [01:21] aheckler: ls -l ~/.local/share/Trash/files <-- anything there not owned by your user? [01:21] quit [01:21] <_paradox_> i just assumed there werent any system updates [01:21] exit [01:21] what u need newbi [01:21] Also, one can use Firestarter to manage iptables and log events [01:21] aheckler: did you try what fde just put up for you? [01:21] laeg: You reached the site but they refused your authorisation (from the paste you provided) [01:22] can only run ubuntu in 640x480 since i tried to make cloned screens [01:22] genii: also, their guide said to install openvpn [01:22] fde and Y-Town: output it "drwxr-sr-x 3 adam adam 4096 2008-05-02 18:43 kernelcheck" [01:22] *is [01:22] genii: so it's not responsible for me not being able to surf or irssi? [01:22] must be the "new" x.org 7.3 with that rand [01:22] I have a problem.. i cant get resolution above 1600X1200! and the fancy graphics modes dont work. I have ubuntu 8! and intel G35. and 1920X1600 screen [01:22] aheckler: ls -l ~/.local/share/Trash/info <-- anything there not owned by your user? (note "info" rather than "files" [01:22] did you check the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file [01:22] tubated: are you using the dvi or vga connection? [01:23] ye [01:23] silver: the dvi [01:23] <_paradox_> anyone else has gotten updates since upgrading to 8.04? [01:23] type xrandr and tell me what it says [01:23] can u mess me private the text is flashing so fast in my rez [01:23] My GeForce 5200Fx did not support 1900x1200 over dvi due to hardware limitations, so check out your graphics chip's capability [01:23] aheckler: you can just 'rm -f kernelcheck' within those directories if they're owned by you. [01:23] fde and Y-Town: got it, thanks guys! i just couldnt remember that folder location [01:24] fde: did exactly that ;) [01:24] !who | newbi_ubuntu [01:24] newbi_ubuntu: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [01:24] SilverStreak: i can do 1920 in windows vista [01:24] hi - can someone explain the difference between eth1 and wifi0? (they're both marked as wireless interfaces, even though i only have one) [01:24] aheckler: fde :o) [01:24] aheckler: heh... cool, actually though, they moved it recently... it used to be just ~/.Trash [01:24] tubated: alright, it's not a hardware issue then; just checking [01:24] fde: aahhh no wonder, i've been using ubuntu since dapper and i thought it was ~/.Trash [01:24] SilverStreak: I just installed ubuntu. should i install some drivers maybe? [01:24] laeg: Since the last things you did was install openvp and then the script, something in there likely did it. You were connected (to the internet) when you tried the script as the paste shows. The paste also shows that you were deinied access to some files on your own system (certificate files and a conf file) [01:25] <_paradox_> like i said i still have update manager so is there a problem? [01:25] hi! I have some problem with a simple c++ code relating to writing output to files. Basicly I try to write something to file, but the output is 0-sized. Permission are set ok and if the file is not there it gets created. code is right here: http://www.nopaste.pl/4ck and there are a few comments (in red) as what the program should do. can anyone help me? [01:25] tubated: Intel provides OSS drivers, so that shouldn't be the case [01:25] I put in a password on my ubuntu install for my neighbor. It's a simple password but now it's not working. I tried it several times and even tried entering it in Text Editor and copying and pasting and it won't work. The password hasn't been changed. Can someone help me figure out how to recover the password? [01:25] when I mouse over the items in the taskbar, a black box appears instead of a pop-up that says what the item is. [01:25] richard: did you type iwconfig [01:25] how reliable is md5 sum? [01:26] misieq, join #c++, or something similiar [01:26] misieq, this is not a dev channel, you'll have more luck there [01:26] SDr: thanks [01:26] genii: so do you know how i can fix it? i know you linked a guide for pptp, but the webiste's guide says to use openvpn and anyway i caused the problem with opevpn, so how can that guide help? [01:26] jepes, pretty reliable, except for some edge cases [01:26] CYREX: yes, [01:26] !md5 [01:26] To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [01:26] <_paradox_> and has anyone else gotten system updates since upgrading to 8.04? [01:26] !md5 | jepes [01:26] jepes: please see above [01:27] richard: Did you get both interface there, eth0 and wifi [01:27] SRr: i verified my iso, it did okay, but it fails during install... [01:27] _paradox_: I have, in fact, I just got a kernel update [01:27] SilverStreak: Its kinda weird. that i can only choose up to 1600. which sucks, because that is not a widescreen format, and this screen is widescreen, so stuff looks ugly [01:27] jepes, what's the error message? [01:27] CYREX: yes, I see three interfaces. My wired one, and two wireless ones (eth1 and wifi0) - even thouh i only have one wless card [01:27] jepes: 128bit reliable... sha can go up to 512bit... so it's not the most reliable/secure. [01:27] tomcat 6 isnt in the repository [01:27] SDr: installation faild , etc" [01:28] tubated: completely understandable, I myself have a 24" widescreen on my end. [01:28] SDr: something about corrupted installer. [01:28] SilverStreak: same here [01:28] jepes you could have a bad burn [01:28] jepes, have you tried after the first install screen setting the installation media to net/FTP, instead of cd/dvd? [01:28] also, what Shadow420 said [01:28] what should i pass to xrandr to use dual monitors? [01:28] is there any way to reset a password for ubuntu if the one you have set doesn't seem to be working? [01:28] <_paradox_> danbhfive: im just wondering if theres a problem? if ur like me u probably get updates every other day. [01:28] Can anyone inform me why, when I mouse over taskbar icons, a black rectangle pops up instead of the text of what the item is. [01:29] Shadow420: im installing it to a virtual machine using the iso directly from my HD, image is okay (md5) but it still fails. [01:29] tessa, you'll have to download the binary package and compile it yourself http://tomcat.apache.org/download-60.cgi [01:29] so its not an issue about bad burn. [01:29] jepes try to reburn the image at a slower rate [01:29] Mattevt: I'd imagine that'd be a theme issue... are you using a black theme? [01:29] tessa: TOMCAT 5.5 IS [01:29] sorry didn't mean to have caps [01:29] done [01:30] _paradox_: I just upgraded to hardy, there were a bunch of updates. Its just for bug fixes. Getting updates is usually a good thing [01:30] jepes then redownload the iso possible the iso got corrupted [01:30] fde, I don't think I set up a theme, I just made the taskbar transparent. I'll play around with the themes though and see if that fixes it, thanks [01:30] richard, CYREX, eth1 will be your regular wireless connection. wifi0 is there (put there by your wireless driver) and is used when your wireless card is set to "monitor" mode [01:30] laeg: Unfortuately I do not know much about openvpn or it's operation. LEt me seek help. [01:30] genii: ty [01:31] Shadow420: downloading now, ..thanks anyways... [01:31] ok..what does ubuntu-desktop install when you are intsalling it under the server ? [01:31] jepes, you always want to burn any ISO file at slowest speed, makes a good rule-of-thumb [01:31] seems to be about 1 gig ? [01:31] Help !!! I am having major troubles getting the Airforce One 54g (broadcom 4318) wifi card to work with Hardy [01:31] sorry to ask again. just in case someone overlooked it:) the problem is that despite a 24" screen and intel G35 chipset, i cannot get higher resolution than 1600 in ubuntu. also, the only mode that works is the simplest gui mode. i cannot find why it should not work, but it doesnt. :/ any one got any ideas? [01:31] SeaPhor: except that it's just a file on his HD [01:31] FastZ: so when i use e.g. network-manager to set up wireless, should i be setting up eth1 or wifi0? [01:31] tessa: please type a users IRC handle in your messages so the person you are talking to knows you are talking to them [01:31] <_paradox_> danbhfive: well i got all those updates to right then when i was upgrading. i mean i havent gotten anymore since. have there just not been more? [01:31] what happens to a box that has gutsy in the sources.list when you aptitude upgrade ? [01:31] richard, eth1 [01:31] laeg: Darn. The person that I definitely know knows about it ( Seveas ) is not here right now [01:31] CyberCod: broadcom chipsets are loads of trouble; in some cases it's better to get a Prism or an Atheros chipset [01:31] SeaPhor: see above, im installing it to a vitual machine using the downloaded image directly (image vierifeid okay in md5) [01:32] :P [01:32] not an option here [01:32] not my machine [01:32] have you tried ndiswrapper?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [01:32] can any body help iunstallina a via saa PCI card please [01:32] SilverStreak: yeah, it shows up a wlan0 entry in iwconfig but I can't get it to connect for anything [01:32] CyberCod: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-modules-generic b43-fwcutter ... then edit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and put 'bcm43' in there. [01:32] hello all, just reinstalled 8.04, good news is now it at least recognizes my internal hard drive... as ext3, when i go to System Monitor / File Systems, I have a gvfs-fuse-daemon directory: /home/ubuntu/.gvfs 251 MB, 98 MB free (type:gvfs-fuse-daemon), and a /dev/sda1 directory /media/disk 72 GB, 70 GB free (type: ext3)... I still cannot boot only from my internal HD, USB stick is required. I asked the same question [01:32] a minute ago, but then got booted, sorry to anyone who replied then [01:32] newbi_ubuntu: this is the ubuntu help channel. [01:32] genii: oh noes :( [01:32] newbi_ubuntu: ask your questiion here, we don't bite [01:32] jrprs you can download a already made virtual machine of ubuntu [01:32] tessa: ubuntu-desktop installs everything you will find on a Ubuntu Desktop edition installation.

[01:34] Shadow420: its benq 24" HDMI [01:34] genii: i will try posting on the forums, ty for your help [01:34] Shadow420: i still plan on installing to HD after trying it out on VM, i dont want to wipe my current installed buntu (yet).

[01:34] er [01:34] Hello [01:34] * oc180z is looking for ibook gt Ubuntu users [01:34] I'm trying to turn on a new person to Ubuntu but this is giving major problems [01:34] Shadow420: works in 1920 rez in windows vista, so it should be possible [01:34] fde: it appears that the problem occurred when I "customized" the theme (ie: switched colors) [01:34] it would be nice if one could install server, and then the framework of the desktop ..and then choose which apps you wanted [01:34] i can only run 640x480 since i tried to make a clone screen and if anybody has a tip on how to fix it, pleese mess me because with my small screen the text is flashing so fast [01:34] Scunizi: no, ca.archives.ubuntu.com isn't working for me and I [01:34] anyone got pulseaudio problems with last kernel upgrade to -17? [01:34] Need help with a .img file [01:34] fde: thanks for the suggestion :) [01:34] Shadow420: also, its weird that i can only choose simple graphics mode [01:34] Mattevt: you're welcome :) [01:34] I need to extract the .img file. [01:34] if i install ark archiver would it break ubuntu? [01:34] Scunizi: *I'm just curious if it's only me, eh? [01:34] tessa, sudo apt-get install x-window-system-core xserver-xorg gnome-desktop-environment [01:35] Ntemis: no [01:35] DefineKThyne: it was just funny how you phrased your question? :) [01:35] * oc180z is looking for ibook gt Ubuntu users [01:35] jepes you could partiton your ubuntu disk in half to have room for hardy [01:35] fde thanks [01:35] Adys: what kind of pA problems? [01:35] CyberCod: ndiswrapper is on the install cd, is that what you are talking about? [01:35] tessa: that command will install a GUI (GNOME) but without all the extra stuff that ubuntu-desktop comes with [01:35] Scunizi: lol yeah it kinda was. [01:35] tubated hmm brb I have to think on it [01:35] DefineKThyne: ask away.. if someone knows the answer they'll get back with you. [01:35] Fast..thank you... I am now 25% through a desktop install [01:35] I tried that, and I got it to tell me that the drivers were installed and hadware was present... but it still won't connect [01:35] SilverStreak, pulse doesnt work at all (no sound), ALSA still works in the sound output but most apps are set to pulse [01:35] can someone PLEASE recommend a good backup tool that allows me to make a backup of another computer of the network, it needs to be an image i can place back in case i need to [01:35] Shadow420: OK [01:35] is there a way to change what software archive Synaptic uses? [01:35] I even tried removing Network Manager and installing WiCD [01:36] WiCD doesn't even see it [01:36] DefineKThyne: that's an easy one.. yes [01:36] CyberCod: ifup eth0 ? [01:36] i cant see the forest because of the trees anymore [01:36] tessa, sorry for getting that to you late then. :P [01:36] Adys: have you tried disabling oss? I've found that that has solved a lot of my problems in the past [01:36] is anyone here familiar with qdvdauthor? [01:36] CyberCod: ndiswrapper will define it as eth0 ... [01:36] Scunizi: oh? [01:36] even though the modules are loaded in [01:36] it has an eth0, [01:36] SilverStreak, disabling it where? Everything is set to pulse afaik [01:36] CyberCod: ok... type what I said... actually 'sudo ifup eth0' [01:36] I'm looking at a new laptop. My old one has an nvidia geforece go 7800 and it worked great. New one only has an intel x3100... Will this work as well? [01:36] killall oss [01:36] Its just since the kernel upgrade a few mins ago [01:36] just a sec [01:36] tessa, and if you add a Z to the Fast in your messages, I can see your posts a lot easier. or use the TAB key to finish my IRC handle if you dont want to type it out [01:36] Alright, I've made some progress. I'm trying to use xev to detect my keypresses, to determine the button number for xbindkeys. Whenever I use it, however it improperly detects my keypresses. 2 buttons don't do anything, and one of my buttons just does the same thing as middle click [01:36] CyberCod, have you checked its known compatability here? http://linux-wless.passys.nl/ [01:37] Fast... the RHEL distros allow you to turn off the firewall at the point you install the distro..how do I do this with Ubuntu --- becuase I am already behind a hardware firewall [01:37] is hardy going to have kernel updates in its life span? [01:37] L_Mo: intel chipsets work great AFAIK [01:37] SilverStreak, no process killed [01:37] Scunizi: can you tell me how you'd go about doing this? [01:37] SeaPhor: Lets get it online first ;) [01:37] alright, then oss is not the source of audio problems [01:37] DefineKThyne: after opening synaptic go to "settings/repositories" ten in the middle of the box you'll see Download from: pick there or have it search for the best mirror for your location [01:37] or we are stack with 2.6.24 [01:37] ignoring unknown interface eth0 [01:37] ? [01:37] DefineKThyne: typing and refrencing as fast as I can [01:37] CyberCod: cat /etc/network/interfaces ... you sure eth0 is defined? [01:37] Scunizi: kudos to you :) [01:38] ifup wlan0 gives "interface wlan0 already configured" [01:38] Shadow420: i could, but i still will need to wipe my buntu partition to do so, its on a seperate 6 Gig disk, i dont want to repart my 80G and 40 G drives... [01:38] tessa: not sure. [01:38] DefineKThyne: any other hard ones like that? :) [01:38] I personally have not tried pulseaudio yet (reinstalling as we speak due to corrupted superblock madness), so that's as much as I can help you with [01:38] could my resolution problem be because i told ubuntu to use safe graphic settings in the installer? [01:38] FastZ: ...the firewall is making my system too slow [01:38] <_paradox_> 2.6.24.16-generic thats my kernel so im not sure if ive gotten the kernel update or not. have gotten any other updates tho [01:38] tubated: yes that will do it [01:38] tessa, no need to "turn off" iptables on the machine anyway. that's just an extra layer of protection [01:38] Scunizi: nothing really for now, I'll let you know if something does come up ;) [01:38] SilverStreak, aight, thanks anyhow [01:38] CyberCod: ifdown wlan0 && ifup wlan0 && ping google.com ? [01:38] tessa, i doubt that is the case [01:38] hang on a sec [01:38] DefineKThyne: :-) [01:38] CyberCod, wlan0 is not supposed to be used as your wireless connection [01:38] FastZ: ..I KNOW that ubuntu 8 is MUCH slower in dealing with the internet than Centos [01:39] CyberCod: just copy and paste all that [01:39] On another note, I go to slingo.com and go to play a game in firefox it asks me to install a plugin but when I go to install it it says there's no suitable plugin. Can someone help me fix this? [01:39] Shadow420: anyways... im trying to download it again from scratch to check. [01:39] FastZ: Lets see if it is... it's probably the bcm43 module's definition though. [01:39] eth0 isn't defined in interfaces [01:39] CyberCod, if you have eth0 (wired) or eth1 (the one you should use for wireless) or ath1 (for atheros cards)... [01:39] kellie: enable all your repositories in synaptic [01:39] kellie: it is likely shockwave it needs, which currently has no Linux implementation [01:39] Bodsda: but the problem is that i cant change resolution higher than 1600 NOW... it works, but i cant get the 1920 resolution that i know my hardware can support. (does in vista) [01:39] anyone else know of any issues with the intel x3100 graphics? Works fine in Ubuntu? (I'm doing some googling too, I just want to double-check before I buy) [01:39] can't different machine [01:40] kellie: It looks like shockwave, which won't work on linux (even with the Adobe Flash plugin installed) [01:40] L_Mo: buy? the laptop? the card? or Ubuntu? [01:40] ... [01:40] Scunizi: The laptop :) [01:40] !lnw | tubated but try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [01:40] tubated but try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg: Want to know the differences between Windows and Linux? This guide, called "Linux is Not Windows" is a pretty good read -- http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm [01:40] is there something I can do about that with WINE or something? [01:40] jepes how many OS's do you have? [01:40] L_Mo: do they have an upgrade option to nvidia. you'd be much better off === soldats_ is now known as soldats [01:40] FastZ: Out of curiosity, why shouldn't he use wlan0 ? It's irrelevant, can be 'internet' so long as it has a name... it's not a /dev/ device. [01:40] !repository | kellie [01:40] kellie: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [01:40] tessa, I wouldnt think that would have anything to do with iptables on Ubuntu though. CentOS is a more "enterprise server" type distro so it's going to work a little faster probably anyway [01:41] <_paradox_> im trying to figure out whether theres a problem or not [01:41] Scunizi: Yes, of course.. but they don't :( [01:41] "network is down" and ping: unknonw host google.com [01:41] Scunizi: So can one make do w/ intel... or is nvidia really required (and I should look for another laptop altogether) [01:41] kellie: Sign the petition if you're upset about it, http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/shockwave-on-linux.html [01:41] FastZ: Ubuntu with linux-image-server installed and booted to is just as enterprise class... [01:41] Shadow420: only 2 (xp and buntu), i used to have vista but i deleted it after it bloated to 20G just from updated... [01:41] L_Mo: I'm googling on www.google.com/linux right now.. care to join me? [01:41] updates* [01:42] kellie: Since shockwave uses DirectX which does not exist on linux, using WINE will not do much about solving it [01:42] Scunizi: Yeah yeah, I'm just trying to get personal experiences in person (more or less :) [01:42] fde: i forget the term used to define what "wlan0" is, but basically if you have a wireless chipset that supports putting your wireless card into "promiscuous" mode, where you can sniff traffic and things, then the wlan0 interface is used. but basically, it's only used for wi-fi monitoring whereas your usual eth1 or ath1 are used for actual connections [01:42] Whoa, 20 gigs for that OS?

[01:49] bazhang: thank you. when i set my BIOS to boot from my internal HD, the screen goes black with the word "GRUB _" in white text and then hangs. so far the only way i can get into my OS is via my USB stick [01:49] bazhang: ok, i'll check that, thanks :) [01:49] FastZ: look in /dev/ for them... not there ;) === rencore_ is now known as fazuka_ [01:50] should i update the kernel????

[01:50] jasperarcher: is there a boot loader on that hard drive? you may need to install grub to it [01:50] linkinxp not unless you want to lose support here :) [01:50] The volume control did not find any elements and/or devices to control. This means either that you don't have the right GStreamer plugins installed, or that you don't have a sound card configured. [01:50] You can remove the volume control from the panel by right-clicking the speaker icon on the panel and selecting "Remove From Panel" from the menu. [01:50] bazhang, hoooo ;P and what are to goog things about updating? [01:50] how do i fix this??? [01:50] bazhang: uck doesn't seem to feature a hands off install, i'm looking further [01:51] Bodsda: thank you.

[02:35] 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.

[02:37] i installed it [02:37] oceanvessel__: Google it [02:37] THE PROBLEM IS ON THE INSTALLED ONE I HAVE AN ERROE WITH ADD?REMOVE [02:37] CyberCod Im Phenomica :P [02:37] ubuntu__: yes, quite descriptive, and the dark side of the moon is dark [02:37] Neo_The_Anderson, if i could i would have helped you allready, i can't, in my experience all AC97 chips just worked, you'll gonna have to wait and hope someone else can help, or you can make a forumpost on ubuntuforums [02:37] haha, I got that, but my NIC is not supported [02:37] ubuntu__: don't caps [02:37] sorry [02:38] sorry [02:38] ill explain what my problem is [02:38] ubuntu__: calm down, do you have a working internet connection on the installed version? [02:38] ubuntu__: does that prevent anything else from working? Also, use System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager instead if the Add/Remove thing doesn't work [02:38] !enter | ubuntu__ [02:38] ubuntu__: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [02:38] Ward, but you knew that it started right after I installed. Ward, pretend I have a AC97 chipset. Tell me what to do. [02:38] how can I gain root access on the X server [02:38] my add remove says it need to update or somthing i try to update 56% way thrigh it says connection timeed out [02:38] oceanvessel__: uhhh, sudo su -? [02:38] Ok I was trying to install btnx so I could use my side buttons on my mouse and I uninstalled libgtk2.0-0 somehow. So then I reinstalled it but when I rebooted my computer I go strait to the command line instead of my login screen and when i typed firefox this came up GTK- WARNING**: cannot open display. Can anyone help me restore my computer to how it was before when I could use the log in... [02:38] ...screen. Or help me fix my problem. [02:38] ShadowSniper8, are you installing 32-bit or 64-but ubuntu? [02:38] hmm,still cant access he rrot,so what should i do? [02:38] ice weve [02:39] 32 bit [02:39] ubuntu__: ok, did you try again? it will occasionally time out [02:39] at the logon screen [02:39] hmm,still cant access the root,so what should i do? [02:39] ya [02:39] Ward, but you knew that it started right after I installed. Ward, pretend I have a AC97 chipset. Tell me what to do. [02:39] not at the console [02:39] oceanvessel__: enter user root [02:39] i tried like 5 times [02:39] Neo_The_Anderson, you have a AC97 chipset............ and it doesnt work............. all the ac97 chipsets i installed ubuntu on just worked..... so i cannot help you...... [02:39] The_Bridge: what's the error message? [02:39] sup [02:39] ubuntu__: then wait [02:39] not allowed to [02:39] private [02:39] i can't make it any clearer without a drawing [02:39] oceanvessel__: have you created a root password? [02:39] "unable to resolve the host" [02:39] I have [02:39] ShadowSniper8, why ms virtual PC instead of, say, Virtualbox, on which bunters runs like a dream? [02:39] The_Bridge: found a ubuntu forum post about that.. reading [02:39] ubuntu__: you can't make a non-responding mirror respond, and you need packages contained on it, so I don't see a solution to this problem other than patience [02:40] should i use virtualbox? [02:40] The_Bridge: go into recovery mode, then add "127.0.1.1 your-hostname-here" to /etc/hosts [02:40] Ward, what would you do? Be the hero here. Just guess. please ward. im begging you [02:40] !vm | ShadowSniper8 [02:40] ShadowSniper8: There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications [02:40] oceanvessel__: why do you want to run X as root? that's very dangerous [02:40] as this is a desktop version of Debian, no root access can be gained by default at the logon screen [02:40] so what should i do [02:40] Neo_The_Anderson, and i didnt knew that, i just asked you if the error was there right after instalaltion :s [02:40] how can i go to recovery mode? [02:40] bazhang: Cedega is cr*p [02:40] The_Bridge: I have root enabled, though never use it unless something like that gets corrupted.. then it just saves a reboot doing init=/bin/bash [02:40] ubuntu__: you can't make a non-responding mirror respond, and you need packages contained on it, so I don't see a solution to this problem other than patience [02:40] The_Bridge: reboot, hit ESC at the prompt, then select recovery mode [02:40] Ice_Wewe: Perhaps he enjoys the nice red screen [02:40] The_Bridge: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=723361 [02:40] ShadowSniper8, i'd recommend it, or VMware, but VB is much easier to set up. MS VPC 2007 only supports windows products and SuSE Enterprise, AFAIK [02:40] so what do i do [02:40] but it's annoying the fact of switching to root manually [02:40] Starnestommy: that's HALF of what is needed [02:40] Neo_The_Anderson: he does not know please stop asking him [02:40] w8 intell tomaro [02:40] some Hardy upgrade issues.... my old firefox was way better what happened to my java setup? [02:40] Ok i have a very basic stupid question about the ubuntu kernels. [02:41] ok [02:41] thanks [02:41] or just forget about ubuntu [02:41] genii: and the inherient risks involved with screwing around as root [02:41] ShadowSniper8, even better, you could dual boot with Wubi [02:41] no partitioning required, ShadowSniper8 [02:41] Does anybody know how I should go about addressing usb reset errors? [02:41] okay,let me read that link first [02:41] ubuntu__: perhaps, but if you find some patience you'll find that the server will respond, and life will be good [02:41] What is the difference between the generic and 386 kernels? [02:41] should i w8 like a hour [02:41] ShadowSniper8: wubi would be good for you [02:41] I can't find where it downloads the firmware for the b43-cutter [02:41] does ubuntu-restricted-extras still exist? [02:41] no, i prefer not to, because, my harddrive is a little bit full at the moment [02:41] I know I can go ahead and look that up in GOogle but what a hassle [02:41] Neo_The_Anderson: generic allows dual core (uses both) [02:41] Starnestommy: so i can capture if i run it as sudo but it freezez and i have to force quit if i use gksudo, fyi man irc lights that thing up... [02:41] ubuntu__: however, to put it bluntly, you don't seem like the type to handle Ubuntu, so if you choose to keep running Vista, I would say that's best for you [02:41] ok [02:42] its not that [02:42] I am trying to install lightscribe drivers and get the error "wrong archetecture i386" Any idea what the problem is [02:42] is generic better than 386? i have all 3 and all 3 work perfect. [02:42] there is so many bugs with ubuntu [02:42] Anyone please help, really simple bash problem! [02:42] jlc, how are you installing the drivers? [02:42] ubuntu__: no, there are so many user errors with Ubuntu [02:42] jlc: Are you running amd64 Ubuntu? [02:42] jlc: You have the amd64 package/driver [02:42] im just impatiant becasue ive been on here for 4 hours [02:42] i just need help picking one. even the server kernel working on my X86 machine. [02:42] fixing problem anfter problem [02:42] ubuntu__: file a bug report and help us to make it better then [02:42] what happened to java with the new firefox/hardy upgrade? [02:42] ubuntu__: there are very few bugs in Ubuntu that the average user would encounter [02:42] ill try to update in a hour [02:42] and w8 for it to work [02:42] bazhang I need a bit more help with the wireless [02:42] thz for your help [02:42] ubuntu__: the connecting timing out is not a "bug" [02:42] bye [02:42] Hi room, what is the command that will let me see what type of wireless chipset i have in my computer? [02:42] Anyone please help, really simple bash problem! === eLeXX is now known as Phenomica [02:42] can anyone help me out please??????, I've got so many questions [02:42] mevsthevoices: what problem? [02:42] mevsthevoices: what is? [02:42] eLeXX: a bit busy atm [02:43] i just need help picking one. even the server kernel working on my X86 machine. [02:43] mattgyver83: lspci [02:43] oceanvessel__, I have a little time [02:43] Wyzard, I right click on it and select open with Gdebipackage installer [02:43] jappdev, thank you i could not remeber [02:43] message me, oceanvessel__ [02:43] do you know where i would find virtualbox? [02:43] what kernel would be best on an X86? [02:43] I cant seem to build the file I got from the link you sent me [02:43] google? [02:43] ill w8 for it to connect [02:43] Neo_The_Anderson: stick with generic [02:43] Neo_The_Anderson: When in doubt choose generic [02:43] oceanvessel__: you can't log in as root on X, it's designed that way so you don't cause irreperable damage to your system, find another way to do what you want [02:43] Neo_The_Anderson: generic [02:43] Starne: I need to pipe the stdout from a bg process in to a file? Any would this work if I sent it to /dev/null (to delete it) [02:43] Neo_The_Anderson: Generic [02:43] generic? but 386 works and so does server. ok i will switch [02:43] i share a directory, and i go to network on another PC and i can't see any trace of what i jsut shared, i cannot even see the PC which i shared the directory on, what can be wrong? [02:43] jlc: The message means either than you're running amd64 and trying to install an i386 package, or running i386 and trying to install an amd64 package (not sure which) [02:43] Wyzard, yes running AMD64 Ubuntu. [02:43] and one more question how can i get on to irc channel withput add/remove program [02:43] im switching to generic. although 386 sounds way cooler [02:44] ubuntu__: 'sudo apt-get install xchat' [02:44] ok [02:44] No sound in 386 [02:44] jlc: You can't install an i386 .deb on amd64 Ubuntu... do they have an amd64 .deb? [02:44] thz [02:44] Ice_Wewe, not technically true [02:44] skrag: I think I've heard about sonme people haing similar problems with wireshark [02:44] opop: well, for all intensive purposes... [02:44] genii, not sure, are you asking if I downloaded the AMD64 package driver? [02:44] ice weve, I am aware of that [02:44] intents &, but i know what you mean\ [02:44] ok 1 sec. i'll download generic [02:44] opop: if you *really* wanted to screw it up... [02:44] but I'd like to give it a try [02:44] can i have time? [02:44] oceanvessel__: why? [02:44] Wyzard, guess not, any idea where to get it? [02:44] oceanvessel__: why can't you just enter your user password at the prompts and change settings there? or use sudo in a terminal? [02:45] not worth the hassle [02:45] jlc: same place you got the i386 one, I guess [02:45] jlc: You either have i386 installed and trying to install amd64 package, or you have amd64 installed and trying to install i386 package. Either way get the one for what you're running. [02:45] why do i have so much problems with sharing a d@$n directory, am i too retarded to do that? [02:45] Wyzard, not one there and I need my lightscribe. [02:45] hey opop???, U got that?? [02:45] or is it jsut a bit unconventional in ubuntu? [02:46] genii, I guess I have the i386.deb file [02:46] if only someone would tell me....... [02:46] wjhat would happen if i didn't have a kernel? [02:46] Ward1983: with what other OS? [02:46] norv: nothing would work [02:46] neo_, you wouldn't boot [02:46] like if i un-installed them? [02:46] norv, no both linux [02:46] er, [02:46] hi, i've just reformated my fat32 partition and now i cant mount it, can somebody help me? this is the /etc/fstab http://www.nopaste.com/p/a0puFYqIfb [02:46] neo_: nothing would work [02:46] Ward1983: network? [02:46] nori, one ubuntu 7.04 qnd one 7.10 [02:46] Ward1983: we are a bit understaffed at the moment--> the nfs gurus should be along a bit later if that helps [02:46] jlc: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=106197 [02:46] oceanvessel__, hold, please [02:46] cool. so if i wanted to mess up my computer i could un-install the kernel?? [02:47] jlc: hmm, nevermind, that's outdated [02:47] Wyzard, ty, will try it. [02:47] neo_: it might not let you uninstall it [02:47] bazhang, sure, its just very frustrating for me that im unable to do such a simple task [02:47] you wanted to make sure you got that [02:47] neo_: doesnt work like taht [02:47] jlc: anyway, the Lightscribe driver for Linux is closed-source, I believe [02:47] Wyzard, ok [02:47] I need to pipe the stdout from a bg process in to a file without suspending te process? Any would this work if I sent it to /dev/null (to delete it). Anyone know how? [02:47] nori, how do you mean? [02:47] nori, sorry wrong highlight [02:47] wasn't palnning on it anyway. just curious, thats all. [02:47] Wyzard, meaning??? [02:47] norv, how do you mean? [02:47] so say i run ifconfig and i see an un-familiar eth0:avshi in the list, is this somone attached to my computer? [02:47] skrag: no [02:47] Ward1983: are you sharing them over a network or dual booting? [02:47] jlc: meaning that if they don't provide an amd64 version of it, there's nothing you can do about it [02:47] skrag: no, it's just another interface [02:48] what is the difference between X86 and i386? [02:48] hi somone asleep? [02:48] norv, im sharing the folders over a network offcourse yes, between a 7.10 and 7.04 machine [02:48] i guess i dont understand waht an "interface" is [02:48] neo_: they're the same [02:48] oceanvessel__, what are you trying to solve? [02:48] Ward1983: sudo apt-get install openssh-server [02:48] so why have 2 different kernels for the same thing? [02:48] skrag: it's a device that connects to the internet [02:48] ive some questions [02:48] cintia, you can jsut qsk your question [02:49] ok [02:49] hi, so total linux newb here, i was wondering if someone could help me get my monitor running at its native res [02:49] neo_, the newer kernel might break something that used to work, so they give you a reversion option, an older, more stable kernel [02:49] ivim new here [02:49] starnestommy: from my machine out? does it allow access into my machine? [02:49] Wyzard, any idea who might be able to adapt it, re-write it... [02:49] Ward1983: then once it's installed, it should start automatically. [02:49] burce_ sure [02:49] I'm just trying to be able to get clicking capability after doing xrandr on my tablet pc [02:49] jlc: the company that provides it; they're the only ones who have the source code [02:49] think I found the firmware needed wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/broadcom-wl-4.80.53.0.tar.bz2 [02:49] well im install my nvidia drivers whith envy [02:49] skrag: it allows access both ways, but you can firewall them [02:49] Ward1983: on the other machine, sudo apt-get install openssh-client [02:49] already compile driver and applied patch [02:49] but now my kubuntu is gooing really slow [02:50] cintia, no problem thats why i tell :) people here apprcieate it if you ask right away [02:50] !envy | cintia [02:50] cintia: envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository and has community support. As an early version, its results may vary but this should be used over the unsupported envy package. [02:50] Wyzard, I might be able to reverse engineer it [02:50] ok im switching to 386 to generic kernel right now [02:50] norv, thats allready done [02:50] hey guys,i finally solved the sudo problem,thank you all [02:50] :) [02:50] oceanvessel__, so, you mean you flipped your tablet pc and now you can't click? [02:50] Ward1983: can you ping the box? [02:50] Phenomica: are you on an ubuntu machine now? [02:50] ok im switching to 386 to generic kernel right now [02:50] jlc: If you have experience doing that sort of thing, feel free, and document what you find [02:50] norv, offcourse, im connected with it even [02:50] ok [02:50] Im on both [02:50] .17 right or .16??

[02:53] Shouldn't matter [02:53] neo_: newer is not always better :) [02:54] no?? [02:54] norv, the goal of sharing the directory is because i want to backup an image to it from a comt with only one (good as full) halddrive [02:54] i'm using xchat, does that make a difference [02:54] brb' [02:54] Shouldn't [02:54] im using xchat gnome. gnome what m saying?

[02:57] oh yah [02:57] acegikm2: best check the forums on that [02:57] sorry hardy [02:57] Okie doke, if autoconfig doesn't catch it you need to go put in a mode line.

[02:58] ahhh... [02:58] bazhang: i'll take a look around, i think i remember what she was talking about. in the meantime, what has an effect on whether or not the stream will work? [02:58] Phenomica: you still around? [02:58] so i was reading an old guide :) [02:58] Ward1983: umm, you are copying to another machine [02:58] Yea [02:58] I am having a problem with synaptic (and any other installer of that nature that downloads files) [02:59] ill try that and let you know [02:59] how can i do the "ubuntu setup" of graphics? [02:59] apt-get works fine though [02:59] bruce_: more like the guides have not bee n updated but yes [02:59] norv, i need to make the image from the old machine, onto the new one [02:59] Ward1983: eeenon is the computer with space [02:59] !modeline [02:59] A Modeline is a config line in the X server configuration file that gives info about a connected display and how to drive it at a specified display resolution. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XFree86_Modeline for more details. Here are 2 links to generate modelines which fit your monitor: http://bohne-lang.de/spec/linux/modeline/ and http://xtiming.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/xtiming.pl [02:59] Ward1983, do you have a larger HD available, to ghost the image to?

[03:00] VirtualBox kernel driver not installed. The vboxdrv kernel module was either not loaded or /dev/vboxdrv was not created for some reason. Please install the virtualbox-ose-modules package for your kernel, e.g. virtualbox-ose-modules-generic.. [03:00] Ward1983: asus eee, heard of those? [03:00] SeaPhor, i have no HD i can put onto the old comp [03:00] tubatedd, you have to edit xorg.conf [03:00] SeaPhor, i mean no extra [03:00] foxhop install them [03:00] norv, nope [03:00] Ward1983: PM please, for things likely not of interest to others [03:00] Shouldn't that be installed automatically bazhang? [03:00] bazhang: thats fine. Do you think could you give me an idea where to look for a tutorial then? [03:01] foxhop: different kernels need different ones [03:01] norv, ok saw your PM [03:01] DefineKThyne: what is the drm type [03:01] meuerro: ok. but isnt there any install programs that can help me detect and install the graphics resolution and the card?

[03:01] bazhang: i think she was working with an encrypted WMV [03:01] Intel x64 bit [03:01] so I just had a crazy idea, would it be possible to make a laptop touchpad function purely as a scroll wheel? You know how if you move your finger on the right side it will scroll up and down, could you make it so it would d othat for the entirety of the pad and also move left and right? It would be awesome to pan around documents with that [03:01] what can I use as an itunes equivalent in ubuntu gutsy? [03:01] foxhop: the one that matches your kernel [03:02] norv, what do horrible laptops have to do with sharing a folder of backup up my old system :p [03:02] Ward1983, $20 will get you a IDE/SATA-to-USB device to mount a HD as an external if you just want to transfer files? [03:02] MagoonD: there are several [03:02] tubatedd, I have no idea of what problem you have, nor your current setup, therefore can't know what you are trying to fix [03:02] I made a boo boo and cant seem to fix it. I installed beta drivers off nvidia.com and now i cant get any drivers to work and get me out of low graphics mode. [03:02] bazhang, which one do you recommend? [03:02] MagoonD: i think iTunes was just made WINE compatible, but i'm not sure [03:02] SeaPhor, not needed, i have a network [03:02] Bazhang: How would I find a list of modules so I could match it up? [03:02] !players | MagoonD see here [03:02] MagoonD see here: Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based).

[03:03] bazhang you still there [03:03] Ward1983: please dont do that we need you here [03:03] as in, i really don't care if someone has the password hithere [03:03] cached: depends what you want to unrestrict [03:03] yes bruce_ [03:03] so i ran the command you suggested, it basically opens a dialog for screen and graphics preferences [03:03] Ward1983, can you not see your shared directories thru the network? [03:04] cached: not caring about passwords and permissions, usually leads to troubles [03:04] still doesnt give me an option for the correct res, but this seems to let you choose your monitor [03:04] I made a boo boo and cant seem to fix it. I installed beta drivers off nvidia.com and now i cant get any drivers to work and get me out of low graphics mode. How can i get back to the restricted driver in Hardy? [03:04] SeaPhor, correct [03:04] <_adriaan_> bazhang: wow, you really do work 24/7. I should really keep that in mind. [03:04] bruce_: this is hardy?

[03:05] bazhang, im not giving up this easy, im jsut frustrated because its such a simple task and i cant do it [03:05] cached easy to brute force [03:05] SeaPhor: Ward1983: fs format doesn't matter, it's being done over the network.. so you would be using sshfs [03:05] i use sudo rm -r * [03:05] bazhang, frustrated people say stuff they dont mean [03:05] meuerro, what driver do i need to install with that for a 8800GT, and what do i need to remove? [03:05] bazhang: couldn't she maybe run the stream through a browser on WINE? [03:05] Ward1983: in another hour or so--> some really smart people should arrive [03:05] Well, I just made the switch to Ubuntu from windows and I have to say....I dig it so far. Now lets see if I can get everything working [03:05] Ward1983, well technically yes, but permissions do matter [03:05] meuerro: my problem is that when i want to select resolution, i can only select up to 1600. And my screen and graphics card (which is intel G35) supports 1920 resolution. can you help now? [03:05] dabbill: Ubuntu should fix everythin automaticly [03:05] norv, sshfs , what is that?

[03:06] dabbill: weird, did it for me :) [03:06] this really isn't something requiring much security. not more than 3 people will even know this machine exists :\ [03:06] tubatedd, did you already try searching your graphcard model on the forums? [03:06] gimplandecker: please dont suggest that here without warnings attached [03:06] wtf [03:06] norv, im not sure how you mean that and where to run it from, etc [03:06] Ward1983: scp images.tar.gz user@other_computer:images.tar.gz [03:06] I cannot dl any updates from apt-get, synaptic, etc [03:06] tubatedd, otherwise do a search on synaptic for "intel" and read each package's infos [03:06] darrend, are you there?

[03:09] TooFly: but links2, w3m, elinks, lynx, konqueror, opera, and epiphany also exist [03:09] dabbill: once you have the correct drivers, if the resolution is not supported, you have to open xorg.conf and add it manually in the appropriate section [03:09] norv, if i COPY the images that means i have them on the machine, which is impossible to to room restrictions [03:09] please!!

[03:20] well i tried installing yesterday and it didnt work, actually made things worse [03:20] dimedo, how would aptitude know about a regular deb's depencies if it wasn't in the repo [03:20] bazhang, sbackups info looks very promising, will try it [03:20] dasguy: we need tons more info to help [03:20] Ward1983: sshfs is one of the few options, which mounts a remote directory [03:20] don't think the info is in a deb itself [03:20] today i tried using hte built in install for the propierty Nvidia drivers [03:20] most apps will tell you what they need tho, not too hard to install usually [03:20] Ward1983: its little known but fairly nice [03:20] and now it works, it boots and the screen displays ok, and now desktop affects are enabled [03:20] so i think my graphics driver is ok [03:20] fiyawerx: as far as i know the deps are noted inside the packages [03:21] ah, not sure [03:21] I'd confirm that [03:21] bazhang - The error was false! The true problem was that my user wasn't added to the vboxusers group [03:21] more than once I've downloaded a deb [03:21] bruce_: great news [03:21] bazhang: Thanks for the assistance though [03:21] and right clicking on it, it would tell me if there were dependencies missing [03:21] foxhop: you got it? nicely done [03:21] but the screen res still wont go up to my native :) [03:22] : ) [03:22] can someone explain the b43-fwcutter thingy to me please? [03:22] meuerro, good to know thanks [03:22] Question: I have a fresh install of Ubuntu (offline install, so didn't 'Configure apt'). I am having problems loading the large majority of web pages. Can anyone help? [03:22] so now there's something wrong with the monitor config it hink [03:22] bruce_: add the modelines then to your xorg [03:22] pwn247: Making a new profile did not help, unfortunately [03:22] when I am installing amarok i get this error http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/p/postgresql-8.3/libpq5_8.3.0-1~gutsy1_i386.deb not found 404 [03:22] what do i need at those lines, [03:22] my xorg seems weird, it doesnt detect anything [03:22] TooFly, web pages aint related to apt [03:22] hello.. can someone help me? ican't make my ndiswrapper module to work [03:22] bruce_, what kind of card? [03:23] fiyawerx, right clicking on a deb should offer the option "open with gdebi package installer", which will also allow you to install required dependencies before installing the package you have at hand [03:23] TooFly: edit sources.list then update and upgrade and try again [03:23] i type modinfo mdiswrapper and it show module's info [03:23] bazhang: Sorry, I am new... could you explain a little more? [03:23] but i can't see my wireless card in ifconfig [03:23] oh hmm [03:23] can some please help me? [03:23] kontrol, try modprobe [03:23] excuse me, anyone know of an easy fix here [03:23] fiyawerx: it seems that the apt system isn't complete at the moment, aptitudes auto cleanup is very nice but there seem to be a lot of ways to get that all fucked up [03:23] Sys_Error: GLimp_Init() - could not load OpenGL subsystem [03:23] after hardy upgrade [03:23] after i ran that command you said earlier, it seems to look more how i'd expect [03:23] i already did modprobe ndiswrapper [03:23] just reopened it [03:23] bruce_, nvidia? [03:24] so do i just need to add the correct res/refresh to the modes line? [03:24] I am trying to share a folder via network but get this error: 'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare: cannot open usershare directory /var/lib/samba/usershares [03:24] Does enybody here know how to change the color of the text on the upper bar from black to for instance white? [03:24] yes, 8800gts 320MB [03:24] bruce_, same card as me [03:24] bruce as well as the 1900xwhatever you wanted [03:24] bruce_, use nvidia-settings to make it easy for you [03:24] I'm having an issue with Nvidia drivers on an alienware laptop, anyone help me out? [03:24] it opens a windows like graphical display control panel [03:24] You do not have permission to create a usershare. Ask your administrator to grant you permissions to create a share. [03:24] but i think it may be related to my monitor as well as the video driver [03:24] TeMagic: themes [03:24] arvind_khadri: i already did modprobe ndiswrapper [03:24] is that a utility or a xorg setting [03:25] bazhang: what do you mean by 'edit sources.list'? [03:25] how to I share a folder on network [03:25] the video driver in restricted works perfect for the 8800gts 320 [03:25] Ward1983: sorry if I couldn't help you.. google sshfs if sbackup doesn't work out (I've never set it up, I'm too lazy) [03:25] kontrol, do lsmod and check whether the module is being used or not [03:25] i installed that, then installed nvidia-settings, and used that to set up my 24 inch / 19 inch dual setup [03:25] no manual config was necessary [03:25] bazhang: is that emerald theme manager? [03:25] anyone else getting update checks every hour or so on hardy ? [03:25] wow... that alt-tab interface freaks out, flickers like mad when i switch between open dirs or whatever [03:25] toofly sudo apt-get install pastebinit then cat /etc/apt/sources.list | pastebinit and tell us the url [03:25] anyone?? [03:25] Pelo: well. you could just turn it off [03:25] installed what? the driver? [03:26] good morning/arvo everyone, im about to embark on a fun and enticing experiment. to get a friend, who wants to know more about computers, to install ubuntu. im really loving 7.10 and 8.04 i used to use gentoo and i need them for fortran/lapack stuff, but ubuntu saves time :) [03:26] and then nvidia-settings? [03:26] when my computer freezes, is there some sort of log i can look at to see what went wrong [03:26] !alienware [03:26] Factoid alienware not found [03:26] any one know how to remove drivers that were installed from the nvidia installer? [03:26] arvind_khadri: it says ndiswrapper 244736 0 [03:26] friedtofu, where ? I know about daily checks but this is the first time in two years I'Ve seen hourly [03:26] !ot | bouma [03:26] bouma: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [03:26] i guess that means its not used [03:26] CaBlGuY: it may take more than 2 minutes to get an answer [03:26] does anyone here have a broadcom wireless card? [03:26] arvind_khadri: it's not used! what can i do? [03:27] bazhang: yea, thanks for stating the obvious.. ;) [03:27] kontrol, there are columns when you enter it...its not being use... [03:27] !broadcom | taidaishar [03:27] taidaishar: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx [03:27] Hi, is there anyway to make emesene and deluge start when I open ubuntu [03:27] Pelo: well. look for "sessions" and "services" you could just turn off automatic update checking and check manually via terminal ... i'd rather prefer that since it wont constantly check [03:27] kontrol, ndis for what?? [03:27] does anyone know any good hash function for strings??? [03:27] ubottu: arvind_khadri: ok yes, my question is, can i easily install a stock version of msoffice. its ms office2000 premium, using wine, under gentoo [03:27] CaBlGuY: so saying anyone will speed things up [03:27] hurm nice, i get the nvidia logo on startup, but then it goes to a funky screen with Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode thats mostly off the screen. [03:27] Hi, is there anyway to make emesene and deluge start when I open ubuntu [03:27] bouma, we have open office why not that??? same funtionalities [03:27] has anyone here had problems using crossover office in 8.04? [03:27] ok later [03:27] does anyone know any good hash function for strings??? [03:27] :) [03:28] smmagic: go to your Sessions in your administration thing - add in "deluge" and "emesene" to startup [03:28] arvind_khadri: because i can't make my realtek wireless card to work!! and i read some post about getting it done with ndiswrapper [03:28] bazhang: I did sudo apt-get install pastebinit, and it output a few things, then "E: couldn't find package pastebinit" [03:28] !repeat | cancu [03:28] cancu: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [03:28] kontrol, for what are you using the ndiswrapper [03:28] Thankyou very much friedtofu [03:28] after my ubuntu 8.04 freezes is there a log i can see to find out what went wrong [03:28] what is the tracker-applet running as a process on my heron? what does it do? [03:28] arvind_khadri: for my realtek wireless card to work!! [03:28] kontrol, ok your card number and the ubuntu version [03:29] arvind_khadri: ubuntu hardy, realtek 8187b [03:29] ubottu: arvind_khadri: cause i feel that if i could step my friend through that then there is literally nothing else that they use xp for. infact most of the needs they satisfy with xp. would be better served with ubuntu, from installation onwards [03:29] Just a quick question, is there ANY way of getting rid of mouseacceleration in Ubuntu? [03:29] bruce_, yeah, I installed the drivers from the repo (nvidia-glx-new), then nvidia-settings, and then sudo nvidia-settings === fiyawerx is now known as fiya_afk [03:29] remember me? [03:29] kontrol jus a min [03:29] Flank, it should be in /var/logs [03:29] Suture: cant you just play around with your mouse settings? [03:29] arvind_khadri: ok thanks [03:29] is any yellow guys in here? [03:29] friedtofu, no it wont disable it. Where it says mouse acceleration, its actually the mouse sensitivity in Ubuntu [03:29] TooFly: you need to open the sources.list file gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and remove the # in front of the repos then save it hit reload then try again to upgrade [03:29] ANd the sensitivity bar, doesnt do anything at all [03:29] bazhang, is it ok to just put / as the dir to backup? [03:30] ubottu: arvind_khadri: yes i could use openoffice, but i am pretty sure wine now runs office2000 really really well. so i just ask, is it possible to use it, in an easy to use, preferably gui way .. eg from add/remove (synaptic ?) [03:30] hi...anyone know software that can convert flv to avi? [03:30] LinkNeoby: mencoder [03:30] link try kino [03:30] meuerro witch log exactly (auth,deamon...) [03:30] bouma, you need to get wine from the repos... [03:30] sbackup? it should do what you wish afaik [03:30] LinkNeoby: http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/mencoder.html [03:30] is OSS open source? [03:31] bouma, get a cd of office xp and go installing [03:31] my laptop seems to have switched off DMA mode on the local HDD after updating to hardy. I can't seem to reset the [03:31] *this in hdparm [03:31] any ideas? :\ [03:31] Flank, I'm not sure, you'd have to think about what might have caused the crash (based on what you had running at the moment of the crash) [03:31] Anyone that knows how to DISABLE mouseacceleration in Ubuntu? [03:31] bazhang, yes in sbackup, is it ok to put / as the dir to copy? can i then place my old system back and let the pc boot from it? [03:31] thanks all [03:31] hello ward! [03:31] bazhang: Do you mind if I private message you [03:31] hello neo_ [03:31] how do i tell if I have a 32 bit processor or a 64 bit processor [03:31] ? [03:31] ubottu: arvind_khadri: also, i would like to install a scanner/printer.. when i ran xsane, it picked up a digitaltv card, and only gave black frames.. what should i do wrt this, cause this would be beautiful.. as this particular printer isnt very easy to install under xp.. and im going to do a guided sidebyside comparison [03:31] new problem after upgrade - when i enable the advanced desktop effects min/max toolbar and the ability to drag go away... [03:31] how do i become yellow? [03:32] I know it freezes every time i watch flash like youtube [03:32] best to do the command I said toofly busy atm [03:32] I'm trying to upgrade gutsy to the new 8.04 version.But I get an error message saying I do not have enough space on the "/boot". Does anybody here know how I can add more space to "/boot"? [03:32] uberspaced, what cpu have you got? do you know that? [03:32] uberspaced: what is your processor? core2 duos will be amd64 [03:32] neo_: what do you mean by that? [03:32] Ward1983 cat /proc/cpuinfo says clflush 64 [03:32] starnestommy, your screen name is yellow [03:32] bazhang: Ok, tried "gksudo gkedit /etc/apt/sources.list" and nothing happens [03:32] #ubutnu-fr [03:32] neo_, keep asking silly questions, soneone will kick or ban you if you keep doing it [03:32] bouma, first google about the things someone in the ubuntu forums would have done all that [03:32] ubottu: arvind_khadri: this comp does have a digitaltv card btw, so the existence of the /dev/tv0 ? is not erroneous, and it works if i apt the right tv viewing proggy [03:32] uberspaced: uname -a [03:32] toofly gedit [03:33] kontrol, i have rtl8185 and seems to be same issue, i did this with 8.04 try looking at mine while arvind_khadri looks: http://www.wood-bee-co.com/woodbeeco/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=39&Itemid=63 [03:33] neo_: that's because I am saying something that has your nickname in it [03:33] who is the mod in here anyway? [03:33] friedtofu heh; on 32 bit it doesn't say what it is. [03:33] neo_: "/msg chanserv access #ubuntu list" will show the operators [03:33] SeaPhor, thanks am on the page now :) [03:33] SeaPhor: Ok, i'll check that.. thanks! [03:33] they're the ones at level 10 and above on that [03:33] uberspaced: yeah. so you're using 32 bit OS... it doesnt really matter unless you're going to go use 64 bit which is more difficult... >.> [03:34] arvind_khadri, sorry, i type slow [03:34] LinkNeoby, try kino [03:34] friedtofu here's the deal. somebody I know bought a new dell w/ ubuntu on it; but he doesn't know the arch. [03:34] ahh still cant quite get my screen resolution working [03:34] do I have to format and install from scratch? [03:34] is there an easy way to convert FLAC to MP3 ? [03:34] arvind_khadri: thanks, yeah ive got the official 4cd set of office2000 sr1, i [03:34] uberspaced: does he know what setting he got? core2duo? [03:34] neo_: install kino now..thanks [03:34] bazhang: Uncomment all URL lines? There are some that say "commented out because failed to verify..." [03:35] ubottu: sorry, im completely new to this, but where do I find b43-fwcutter? [03:35] bruce_, did you try Envy? [03:35] SeaPhor, i meant that after you gave the link i went there [03:35] !envy [03:35] envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository and has community support. As an early version, its results may vary but this should be used over the unsupported envy package. [03:35] is it normal for Gnome Window Decorator to take up a lot of memory? [03:35] envy caused me problems yesterday [03:35] i think the video driver is ok [03:35] toofly those likely dont need src though [03:35] its the moniotr [03:35] friedtofu he's saying he got a core2duo === jb_ is now known as tr30 [03:35] bruce_, what is your video card? [03:35] 8800 gts 320mb [03:35] :( just reinstalled ubunut, sound worked for half an hour than died again [03:35] *ubuntu [03:35] damn [03:35] jeeze your rich! sorry [03:35] bazhang: OK, I have uncommented the rest. How do I update/upgrade again? [03:36] TooFly: save first [03:36] kontrol, look into the page SeaPhor gave that would help i feel [03:36] arvind_khadri, :-)) thats my exp so far, have gone back to 7.10 to try [03:36] uberspaced: so the arch is x86_64 - it can run 32 bit OS or 64 bit OS... 32 bit is the standard right now... you wont really see much benefit from 64 bit unless you're doing something like video encoding [03:36] bazhang: Done [03:36] bruce_, did you try fixing it? [03:36] neo, copuld i try manually editing the xorg.conf file? [03:36] then update and upgrade [03:36] hi, which is the best DOS emulator? [03:36] arvind_khadri: ok, i'm on that! thanks.. i'' let you know what happens [03:36] dosbox [03:36] someone said they had the same video card, and they could get it working through the nvidia tools program [03:36] kontrol, sure :) [03:36] bruce_, i am a linux noob. [03:36] but that program doesnt detect my monitor correctly [03:36] friedtofu thanks for clearing that one up. it was rather odd that the commands I was telling him weren't producing anything. [03:36] bazhang: Is that a command or something? [03:36] ahh :( [03:37] so am i :) [03:37] bruce_, you could try manually copying the x.org files [03:37] from where? [03:37] mattgyver83: muchas gracias!!!! [03:37] I have a an old (nvidia legacy 64mb) machine which I just upgraded to 8.04 After the upgrade the resolution was fine, however when I tried to turn on the nvidia legacy driver and restarted it failed and went into low graphics mode. Can someone please help me to revert [03:37] sergio_, si! [03:37] TooFly: sudo apt-get update (after closing synaptic and add/remove) then sudo apt-get upgrade [03:37] kontrol, is it a USB wireless one?? [03:37] bruce_, after you install the latest nvidia new drivers go to the nvidia x server settings [03:38] how do i keep a user from accessing anything but his home directory? [03:38] according to... lots of documentation... I should be able to pass tasks="kubuntu-desktop, standard" as a boot parameter to make it install KDE instead of GNOME [03:38] i am using an nVIDIA 5900XT on dual screens. [03:38] is that in the xorg.conf file? [03:38] arvind_khadri: no, is not usb.. is integrated [03:38] nobody knows? ok, well, if I reinstall ubuntu from ISO-dvd, will I still have access to Windows Vista from the boot menu? [03:38] but I tried it, and it didn't work (I ended up with GNOME) [03:38] this is the DVD btw [03:38] kontrol, arvind_khadri if you have any questions on that page you can join me at #SeaPhor [03:38] if i can get 2 screens working with an average GPU you should get 1 screen working on the awesome 8 series nvidia card [03:38] ok nm, yes the monitor is not detect correctly in there [03:39] kontrol, ok [03:39] SeaPhor, thanks :) [03:39] hehe, it wasn't that expensive :) [03:39] like 200 bucks, most expensive part in my system [03:39] bruce_, how many screens you trying to get working? [03:39] just 1 lol [03:39] im [03:39] TeMagic: you should have access to windows vista - if its removed you can manually edit the grub menu to show up... - if you dont kno what i'm tlaking about, just back up the /boot/grub/menu.lst file and restore it afterwards [03:39] not trying anything complicated [03:39] bazhang: '[Waiting for headers][Waiting for headers] 99%' after sudo apt-get update [03:39] !enter | bruce_ [03:39] bruce_: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [03:39] toofly be patient [03:39] friedtofu: ok, thanks [03:40] TeMagic: the ubuntu autogenerator for Grub should detect vista [03:40] bruce_, go to hardware drivers and see iof your acelerated drivers are working [03:40] bazhang: Ok. just to make sure.. this is to fix my web-page problem? [03:40] so I gues I'll have to reinstall ubuntu then... [03:40] toofly it will be but be patient [03:40] crap... [03:40] btw, how do i send you a personal message so i dont spam this [03:40] according to... lots of documentation... I should be able to pass tasks="kubuntu-desktop, standard" as a boot parameter to make it install KDE instead of GNOME; but I tried it, and it didn't work, I ended up with GNOME (I'm using the DVD btw) [03:40] going to download a few hundred mb's:) [03:40] haha [03:41] yes, the hardware drivers are working [03:41] bruce_: /msg [03:41] what irc client are you guys using in ubuntu? [03:41] bruce_: best to ask someone first though [03:41] TooFly: pidgin [03:41] Oh, thanks [03:41] TooFly: Konversation [03:41] xchat TooFly seems popular there are others as well [03:41] why is that my terminal keeps saying couldn't find package * [03:41] bruce,_ i sent you a pm [03:41] TooFly: XChat [03:41] xchat - >.> feels more like mirc [03:41] hey [03:41] xchat is bloat [03:42] maybe it only works with the text-based installer? [03:42] i'd use irssi if i ever get around to learning it [03:42] XChat is my favourite... just converted from Pidgin [03:42] i have now checked forums. no answer to my problem. [03:42] TooFly: irssi [03:42] PovAddict: you need to install kubuntu-desktop [03:42] TooFly: I guess you got some choices :o) [03:42] learning it? it works like any other irc client, I mean stuff doesn't change much client to client [03:42] bruenig: for irssi do you know how to accept dcc chats? [03:42] how do i pm?? [03:42] hi i have a heavy problem i'm using ubuntu 7.10 an my problem is http://pastebin.com/m713d0106 it's in spanish [03:42] thats probably the only thing i'm missing [03:42] THe problem is that it seems like ubuntu have not detected my intel G35 graphics card. How can i make it detect it? [03:42] neo_: /msg [03:42] register neo_ [03:42] bazhang: I know, but I want the installer NOT to install gnome in the first place [03:43] well, I'll try asking my original question again, seing a few people have entered the room... Does anybody know how to increase the size of "/boot" as I do not have enough free space on "/boot" to upgrade ubuntu to version 8.04?? [03:43] you're suggesting I install kubuntu-desktop once I'm done installing the whole hing [03:43] PovAddict: then get the kubuntu iso [03:43] whoa.. really? lol... i thought boot only needed like 32 megabytes [03:43] friedtofu: /dcc chat nick [03:43] Should i Reinstall ubuntu to make it detect my graphics card? [03:43] register [03:43] tubatedd: likely not necessary [03:43] bruenig: hm. k i'll try to learn to use it... >.> [03:43] bruce_, go to envy [03:44] help on boot screen says tasks="kde-desktop, standard" should work... which is WRONG, since ubuntu's name for that task is kubuntu-desktop [03:44] damn [03:44] friedtofu: you can always just do /help whatever [03:44] !register | neo_ [03:44] neo_: By default, only registered users can send private messages - Information about registering your nickname: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname. [03:44] yeah. i suppose [03:44] PovAddict: download a kubuntu cd [03:44] baklava-: thank you but is the IBOOK G4 800MHZ A POWER PC ? OR [03:44] so yeah, documentation is wrong but nobody cares, and I should just go get kubuntu iso [03:44] TooFly: Xchat is good too [03:44] bazhang: is there a tool i can use to make it detect my graphics card and use it ? [03:44] friedtofu: irssi is grea [03:44] bruce you here?? [03:44] yah [03:44] are you not getting my messages [03:44] bruce are you on envy? [03:44] pygmymath: got any good skins for irssi? :) [03:44] PovAddict: docs are not always up to date-->we are volunteers remember [03:45] wait is envy a chat program lol [03:45] friedtofu: didnt know there were any :P [03:45] haha [03:45] I have a Intel G35 chipset by the way. [03:45] bazhang: well, trying to figure out what the right way is [03:45] neo_: thought envy was nvidia stuff [03:45] Whats the command to pull up a window as root? It had to do something with nautilist but I forgot the command. [03:45] i thought it was for configuring graphics drivers [03:45] they're all color based though [03:45] go to synaptic under administration [03:45] anyone else have problems running another other firefox downloads other than the one shipped with ubuntu hardy heron? [03:45] I tracked it down to kubuntu-desktop being the task name, but that one didnt work either [03:45] allright. good night folks. gonna start a download now and go to sleep. c'ya:) [03:45] PovAddict: you want kde? the easy way is to get kubuntu iso [03:45] friedtofu: ncurses apps for the win [03:45] PovAddict: You dont like gnome? [03:46] lewench: gksudo nautilus should work [03:46] pygmymath: haha. yeah... ncmpd, irssi, htop [03:46] joe_electrician, pretty confusing [03:46] bruce_, install envy-gtk [03:46] and in fact, after four failed tries, I somehow managed to screw up my grub, and now I cant boot Windows either - but I guess that will be fixed by just installing ubuntu again and letting the installation run to completion [03:46] friedtofu: finch ;) pidgin in ncurses [03:46] joe_electrician: you want ff2? [03:46] It saddens me that there is a windows channel... [03:46] woot I got beryl/compiz working perfect on this laptop :) [03:46] I've never used ubuntu and I'm having some trouble connecting to a wireless network with hardy heron [03:46] mkquist, thanks a bunch worked perfect. [03:46] pygmymath: is that really viable? i never tried it... haha [03:46] mattgyver83: its useless [03:46] PovAddict, no need to re-install to get grub back [03:46] bruce? [03:46] arvind_khadri, e.g., any firefox package I download say from mozilla, will load but wont connect.. the ff that came with ubuntu runs and connects fine [03:46] do anyone use swiftweasel? [03:46] it gives "error 15" on boot [03:46] neo are you not getting my messages? [03:47] is it good? [03:47] !grub | PovAddict please read this [03:47] PovAddict please read this: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [03:47] friedtofu: its bloomin great, alt + numbers to switch between windows. prett much as good as pidgin [03:47] i don't understand this [03:47] pygmymath: haha. dang. i just saw a clone of my buddy list in terminal [03:47] bruce_, go to synaptic package manager [03:47] it's giving me the option to connect to a wireless network, so I'm assuming the drivers are straight [03:47] bruce_: neo_ open a channel #neo_ and chat there [03:47] bazhang: opposite, lost (working) grub after installing ubuntu [03:47] but the wireless manager doesn't seem very intuitive [03:47] bazhang, doesn't matter what version.. i tried both beta and stable and neither will connect [03:47] question, I'm tryin to get my wireless to work, and I have the folder containing drivers. How do I do this? [03:47] friedtofu: finch irssi and mocp live on my pc in case of x death :P [03:47] pygmymath: hey. is there any special meaning to the things in front of their names though? like a(accent)box box [03:48] joe_electrician: that sounds like a network issue not ff then [03:48] can someone tell me the equivalent of ipconfig in ubuntu? [03:48] bazhang, do you know if i should be able to see the fiels that are allready copied? [03:48] friedtofu: think its busy/available/away [03:48] pygmymath: yeah. links is here incase i need the internet [03:48] bazhang, or is it makign a archive? [03:48] Ward1983: is the process completed? [03:48]  I just upgraded to ubuntu 8.04 and now want to update my vbox. From the download site it gives me the choice Ubuntu 8.04 AMD and Ubuntu 8.04 x86. This is an amd sempron 3400+ cpu but the ubuntu I have installed is the regular intel version not the 64 bit. Which do I download? (What confuses me is that prior to 8.04 there is an Ubuntu 7.10 AMD64 version) [03:48] if anyone else could verify this on their machines by trying to replicate it.. I know its not a network issue [03:48] and i dont have x running [03:48] bruce_, join channel #neo [03:48] can someone tell me the equivalent of ipconfig in ubuntu? [03:48] I have this two problems http://pastebin.com/m713d0106, http://pastebin.com/m4eddd737 [03:48] friedtofu: haha lynx rocks... reallly? nice.. i got an eeepc that i wanted to go all terminal with but i missed firefox too much :P [03:48] ifconfig smmagic [03:48] bazhang, no its gonna take quite some time so i just want to make sure its setup right [03:49] can someone help me [03:49] smmagic: ifconfig [03:49] someone can help me please??? [03:49] pygmymath: links2 even supports Javascript... [03:49] bazhang, because i cant find anything on the source dir [03:49] SeaPhor [03:49] !helpme [03:49] Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience [03:49] or is that elinks... [03:49] ah, thanks [03:49] how would I go about installing wireless drivers if I have the folder with the drivers? [03:49] i set up samba and when i try to connect from windows it asks me for a username and password, and i tried my system login and it didnt work, what does it want? [03:49] I just upgraded to ubuntu 8.04 and now want to update my vbox. From the download site it gives me the choice Ubuntu 8.04 AMD and Ubuntu 8.04 x86.

(What confuses me is that prior to 8.04 there is an Ubuntu 7.10 AMD64 version) [03:49] bazhang, IN the source dir i mean [03:49] kontrol, yes? [03:49] PovAddict: i need o get that and try it heh... images though :P i can't see facebook & flash working in it [03:49] why would ubuntu internet not work even when directly connected to a modem? [03:49] Ward1983: not sure there-->could you clarify? [03:49] is there a shortcut to bring up a console? [03:49] joe_electrician, you mean the plugins and stuff?? [03:49] pygmymath: yah no ascii-art conversion lol [03:49] Dante124: If you don't have a 64 bit install download the x86 version. [03:50] PovAddict: Thats a patch someone needs to write [03:50] SeaPhor: no! i don't what happens [03:50] pygmymath: although if you can get a color framebuffer on the console, you WILL get images [03:50] anyone use "xsetwacom set pad Button1 :core key ?" to set their buttons on the pad of a wacom (graphire 4)? [03:50] JewStyleKungFu: many folks just put the terminal icon on their panel [03:50] kontrol, ??

Unpack the archive and terminal over and running ./firefox. It loads but wont connect. yet the ubuntu firefox does fine. This was never an issue on until I did a upgrade ( fresh upgrade btw) [03:52] hey [03:52] so is the 'tasks' boot parameter really broken? or only working on text-mode install? or nobody ever tried it? [03:52] bazhang, no it is running, and it is sending, and my new comp is receiving, but i dont see any files [03:52] friedtofu: cannot mount or something [03:52] I just installed KDE4 [03:52] Does anyone else here just get lost in playing with the water effects on initiate mode? [03:52] * Ward1983 begs god to clarify further [03:52] should I worry about virus when using ubuntu? what do you advice? [03:52] ravi: blah - sorry >.> cant help [03:52] Can I switch back to GNOME if I set KDE4 as default? [03:52] gleyve: nay [03:52] gleyve: nobody bothers making Linux viruses [03:52] gleyve: no and ther's clam and clamgtk [03:52] ok, where's my device manager now [03:52] roxahris_: yes [03:52] roxahris_: sure [03:53] roxahris_: yes [03:53] gleyve: you should still avoid opening strange attachments etc [03:53] Can you tell me in advance? [03:53] joe_electrician, so are you sure the the one you compiled got instaleed [03:53] No device manager [03:53] Hi, when I insert a DVD to copy in k9copy, the program doesn't load the disc... why? [03:53] Hello, is any one else having problems with the repos? [03:53] hey, anyone else have experience with mounting problems on an M1330? [03:53] Yuji1 what OS and if Linux, what distro? [03:53] gleyve: you don't need to worry about virues at the moment for Ubuntu. since of the way you aren't admin for everything. and no one bothers to make for Linux [03:53] I see...but I've seen some anti-virus for linux... [03:53] is there any way to look at the installed hardware devices on my machine? [03:53] uxe1: there still getting hammered from the hardy release [03:53] arvind_k, no no you don't have to compile the firefox.. just downloading it the already compiled binary [03:53] mounting problems specific to CD/DVD [03:53] gleyve: they need to find a new market ;] [03:53] gleyve: installing a virus scanner would help anyway; so that you avoid forwarding virus to your windows-using friends [03:53] JewStyle: sure you can [03:53] ok people :) [03:53] arvind_k: done.. its the same [03:53] can someone help me? [03:54] thanks [03:54] that's the only use actually :P [03:54] Minisys-Linux Muppy 008.3 [03:54] gleyve: don't install any strange package [03:54] jewstyle: You use a combination of commands and mount points though [03:54] hehehe [03:54] JewStyleKungFu, lspci and lsusb for example [03:54] thanx bodsa, i was trying to add vlc , and adept kept crashing [03:54] I want to install my wireless drivers, and I need a step by step plz [03:54] joe_electrician, ok well why do you want it??why not stick with the normal one [03:54] glevye: Windows is such a huge market, and a great market to target since the way Windows does default security, and how most users are ignorant at securing there computers. that there is hardly any reason to target other OS's such as Linux distros and Mac OS X [03:54] jackfruit: what do you mean strange? [03:54] um.. gonna say this again. CD/DVD mounting issues on an m1330 laptop [03:54] Master_Z: what wireless [03:54] any help? [03:54] PovAddict: why? just put them on linux ;O/ [03:54] gleyve: things that aren't in the repos or you don't know the source is safe [03:54] so I guess they've taken away any convenient gui for browsing devices [03:54] kontrol, no idea [03:54] ok time to attempt fixing grub [03:54] bazhang: realtek 8185L. I have the tar.gz containing the linux drivers I think [03:54] warriorforgod thanks....will do [03:55] ravi whats the issue? [03:55] Jew: Once you get a handle on it its far more convenient to use [03:55] jackfruit: ok man..I got it [03:55] Okay, sed KDE4 as default in package manager... [03:55] when you install a doc package.. where does it go? how come it's so hard to find the docs? [03:55] ravi: how can I fix this DVD/CD specific problem? [03:55] grub> find /boot/grub/stage1 [03:55] Error 15: File not found [03:55] arvind_k: i'm going to try with a diferent driver to see what happens.. thanks for your help!! =) [03:55] gleyve: say like getdeb.net, that's pretty ok ;) [03:55] msingh: in the terminal man program name [03:55] kontrol, welcome [03:55] I guess it would be more convenient...I just tend to be whiny when things aren't easy [03:55] :) [03:55] uxe1: initially at least, when I double click on my dvd drive on Computer, it just doesn't mount. [03:55] sebsebseb, it might not be a man page. it probably isnt. [03:56] if you use qmake.. make... make install.. and you want to uninstall later, would you find the install in synaptic? [03:56] uxe1: auto mount is basically broken [03:56] Scunizi: no [03:56] roxahris_: when your entering user name you will have the option to select the session type... bottom corner i belive [03:56] uxe1: it works only after persistence [03:56] Scunizi: if you install from source, the package manager has no idea you did [03:56] uxe: my fstab http://paste.ubuntu.com/9664/ [03:56] jew: lol, yea, but, far better if you figure it out [03:56] Scunizi: no, u have compiled it yourself synaptic knows nothing of it afaik [03:56] PovAddict: is there a way to make a deb from the source? [03:56] bazhang: you there? [03:56] gleyve: if you're paranoid check things out every once in a while with netstat -ntl or namap to see any strange network thing running [03:57] PovAddict: then apt would track it wouldn't it? [03:57] Scunizi: you want to add that to dpkg list? checkinstall should do that iirc [03:57] bazhang: thanks. [03:57] jackfruit: ok guy..hey...o you know about java configuration at ubuntu? [03:57] bazhang: can you help me with my wireless? [03:57] arvind_k, why do I want it? Technically speaking the USER AGENT string ubuntu sticks into the shipped ff is conflicts with my ISP email ajax.. essentially its the ISP's problem but I remedy it by using ff default USER AGENT string. retarded? slightly but this I like to use ajax and not some prehistoric looking web email and why after I d/l a fresh new ff and its whines about no network yet ubuntu ff does not.. even more retarded [03:57] after four failed attempts to make the Ubuntu installer do what I wanted, I ended up with a broken grub (gives error on boot, doesnt show OS list) [03:57] tried fixing it from livecd [03:57] grub> find /boot/grub/stage1 [03:57] Error 15: File not found [03:57] PovAddict: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:58] hey another quick question about network manager. I'm not that used to it as I come from the days where we dealt more directly with if* commands. How do you manually command network manager from the command line? [03:58] gleyve: what problem are you having with java? [03:58] gleyve: for developing, sudo aptitude install sun-java6-jdk , for regular use, sudo aptitude install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin [03:58] joe_electrician, ask someone else no idea here :) [03:58] uxe1: any help?

[04:00] gleyve: or check out galternative/galternatives ,whichever is the correct spelling [04:00] pen: the regular firefox should work for you pretty quickly - but if you still want swiftweasel then it depends on your arch [04:00] Hi, I'm trying to use framebuffer in GRUB, adding on vga codes, and when I add in my code and restart, I get: Undefined video mode number.

[04:30] <_deselby> I just installed hardy ... and it does not have 1280 x 1024 resolution available in screen resolution tool [04:31] !pastebin [04:31] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [04:31] can someone tell me how to restart the vnc service on a remote box [04:31] Question, what's best way to convert/burn dvd videos linux [04:31] _deselby: are you used to using that resolution?

[04:32] the composite extension is not available how i can fix this problem!!! [04:32] Hello, hello, anybody home? [04:32] _deselby: juice_: make sure you guys go in your menu to system>administration>software sources [04:32] belor2, run all that from the terminal prompt, right? [04:32] <_deselby> amirman ... I prefer 1280 x 1024 for this is my lcd montiro native display [04:32] socomm, too many ways to list - but do a search in synaptic [04:32] socomm: http://ubuntu-utah.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=661833&highlight=codecs [04:32] socomm: k3b and gnomebaker can butn DVDs [04:32] *burn [04:32] _1 [04:32] how do you get streamtuner to play? [04:33] amirman84: and do what exactly? [04:33] _deselby: juice_: then click the checkboxes beside 3rd party software (should be 2 of them there) then on the next tab beside proposed and backports [04:33] is there a .deb for wine .61 ? [04:33] <_deselby> amirman ... however ... I tried to check /etc/X11/xorg.conf -> it does not have any display subsectdion [04:33] anyone hav quake for linux? [04:33] _deselby: juice: then update the thing it asks you to update and they will probably install automatically from there [04:33] how i can convert a .ratdvd? [04:33] amirman84: do you really want proposed at this point.. isn't that somewhat suspect until things are actually released? [04:34] scunizi: proposed packages are pretty stable [04:34] Hmmm [04:34] Scunizi, look in preferences, you have to set the output application of choice [04:34] jlc: Yea and hopefully it works [04:34] scunizi: they may have a minor issue here and there but for the most part they're stable [04:35] <_deselby> amirman .. what is this supposed to install ? [04:35] amirman84: and now what? restricted manager or envy? [04:35] restricted manager [04:35] juice_: go to hardware drivers [04:36] I like k3b, but don't wanna install kde [04:36] socomm: you don't need kde for k3b [04:36] juice_: i think its in the menu under administration [04:36] it works fine in gnome [04:36] socomm: you dont have to [04:36] yeah got it reboot time ty amirman84 [04:36] brb [04:36] socomm: you just have to install some kde libs.. k3b will run fine on gnome w/o installing the whole kde desktop [04:36] <_deselby> amirman ... in restricted drivers set nvdia (I have nvidia) [04:37] _deselby: proprietary graphics drivers [04:37] but how about theme integration [04:37] won't it look out of place [04:37] socomm: now that i'm not sure of..... [04:37] is there a way to find out what version of ubuntu i am running? [04:37] only one way to find out i guess [04:37] juice_: i hope it works well for you, it worked perfectly for me, if it doesnt, it probably has to do with the xorg.conf file [04:37] Trizzle: in a terminal, "lsb_release -a" no quotes [04:37] socomm, trust the dependencies of apt-get, just do a `sudo apt-get install k3b`, it will get the libraries you need [04:37] stupid firefox three messed up all my addons wont work now [04:37] socomm, it won't look native gnome, correct [04:38] <_deselby> amirman ... I did set that up earlier -> nvidia ... but that had highes resolution 800x600 [04:38] I should be able to transfer files faster than 1M/sec over ssh? [04:38] okay....apparently i have gutsy [04:38] _deselby: is it enabled and with a checkmark beside it in hardware drivers? [04:38] thanks indy [04:38] belor2, ty, will give it a try. [04:38] Gun_Smoke: it would be faster or at about the same speed [04:38] is there a way to auto update to hardy heron? [04:38] <_deselby> amirman ... have to reboot [04:38] greetings everyone! I'm having a problem with the apt database once again: the apt database could not be opened! This may be caused by incorrect APT configuration or some similar problem. When I run apt-get update, I get this following message: E: Malformed line 42 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (URI parse) [04:38] UberCanuck: ok.. been there. tried changing to rhythmbox but nothing but what looks like rhyth. opening then immediatly closing. [04:38] belor2, I hope it works because I really like this 64 bit version of ubuntu. [04:39] Scunizi, did you pass it the variable as well? [04:39] hello [04:39] _deselby: then i'm sure it has to do with your xorg.conf file, sometimes the driver is working right but it's not sending the right info to your screen, all that stuff is in that file, i'm not very secure in telling you what to do in there but maybe if you looked in there something will click, you may just have to manually add your screen resolution in a line. open it in a text editor [04:39] UberCanuck: I left the same variable that was there. not sure about variables.. so I didn't mess with what existed. [04:39] Scunizi, or overwrite it [04:40] I was trying to follow that how-to guide on enabling the restricted directory(?) because I thought I had installed it correctly but I couldn't get dvd playback and so I went into adept and went into manage depositories and just enabled the restricted updates and now I have that error message. How can I fix it? [04:40] will anyone be kind enough to help me with a panel problem i am having [04:40] Starnestommy: On a home network... Laptop is wireless, desktop is wired.. What would the fastest way possible to transfer files? [04:40] I have a laptop with a failing CD drive, is it possible to install off of the network once it is booted to the CD? [04:40] I have wired on it for the time being. [04:40] maunykah, is it an error message that appeared after trying to add a repo via commandline? [04:41] thumb driveperhaps [04:41] yes [04:41] whenever a window opens, its top bar is under the top panel of my dekstop... any ideas? [04:41] hang on you mean the database error? [04:41] UberCanuck: I tried xmms2 but that's a cli program.. not that it matters but it wouldn't work either. [04:41] 2.1MB/sec [04:41] <_deselby> well ... I rebooted and now using nvidia drivers [04:41] L3D, won't boot to a thumb drive === ajmorris is now known as bodhi_zazen [04:41] I'm using an alternate CD [04:41] Scunizi, audacious? [04:42] an anyone help me? [04:42] Gun_Smoke: ssh/scp is fast, but samba or nfs might be faster === bodhi_zazen is now known as ajmorris [04:42] Daisuke_Ido: havent' tried tha. [04:42] maunykah, a similar thing happened to me the other day and it kept showing an error and wouldn't let me into synaptic, in my case it was a medibuntu repo, what i did was go to their website and just added the repository again, the right way [04:42] does the graphical samba front end work for anyone? [04:42] <_deselby> I can only have 640x480 resolution [04:42] Starnestommy: Okay.. Thanks.. ssh is fine I guess.. [04:42] maunykah, the way that broke it was some garbage my brother told me to do [04:42] DJ_Cranky, hold alt, click and drag the window to where you want it [04:42] how do I do that? [04:42] UbuntuCanuck: I have the output. [04:42] should I google medibuntu? [04:42] <_deselby> so how can I get those higher resolutions available for screen resolution tool [04:43] _deselby: i went through the same exact thing [04:43] _deselby: i would fix that, that res. sucks. [04:43] maunykah, what's the error? [04:43] _deselby: does it give you wobbly windows? the effect? [04:43] <_deselby> Indy .. heh .. this somewhat sucks [04:43] does anyone have an idea why my windows always open under the panels [04:43] guys i fixed the host,but now everytime i type sudo su and then i tried to type anything it keep exitting [04:43] Is there anybody who can talk to me about WINE? With Wine, can I run most windows software? [04:43] DJ_Cranky, as i just said, hold alt, click and drag the window away [04:43] maunykah: medibuntu is great, what is your issue? [04:43] <_deselby> amirman .. yepl looks like effects are there [04:43] hello? [04:43] error message: The APT Database could not be opened! This may be caused by incorrect APT configuration or some similar problem. [04:43] jlc: mostly games I believe [04:43] _deselby: then it's your xorg.conf file [04:44] jlc: try #winehq [04:44] well that's not good. [04:44] guys i fixed the host,but now everytime i type sudo su and then i tried to type anything it keep exitting [04:44] can anyone help with wine things? [04:44] <_deselby> amirman ... okay .. so it did not have any subscection for display [04:44] !aptfix | maunykah [04:44] maunykah: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [04:44] drezard: what kind of wine things? [04:44] Daisuke_Laptop thanks, that works. any reason it might be doing this? [04:44] <_deselby> amirman .. are they somewhere else in hardy ? [04:44] amirman84: now i have max resolution of 640x480??? [04:44] _deselby: what video device? [04:44] DJ_Cranky, with compiz, it happens sometimes, especially with wobbly windows. another option is if your top bar is set to auto-hide, it won't stop windows from opening up there [04:45] UberCanuck: I have the output if you have a chance to take a look at it. [04:45] So I can connect ssh to my box.. Good stuff.. How would I do that from say outside a home network? machine-host-name@***.***.***.*** ? [04:45] Hello. I need to execute a modprobe at boot time. How would I do that? [04:45] starnestommy, I'm new to Linux, are you telling me to run that from the terminal prompt? [04:45] <_deselby> juice ... heee ... welcome to club ... I'm having the same problem now [04:45] hello everyone, i am having with Hardy now, since upgraded from Gutsy, the ipw2100 is now missing, does anyone know why and how to retrieve this module w/o having to going through tedious source compilation? [04:45] jlc: no, join the IRC channel #winehq [04:45] jlc, type /join #winehq [04:45] _deselby: where i got help with that was in #compiz, they know all that stuff like the back of their hand there, or you could look up xorg.conf settings in google, or you could open the file via sudo and see if you can fix it yourself, some of the lines in there are pretty self explanatory, but i'm no good with that stuff [04:45] that will get you to the wine help channel :) [04:45] it supposed to "just work" my arse [04:45] starnestommy,, ty. [04:45] Daisuke_Laptop hmmm. ill disable compiz stuff for now and enable em one by one, see which one is causing the issue? [04:45] DJ_Cranky, if you have wobbly windows enabled, that's what's doing it [04:45] anyone know why if i tried to access the root by typing "sudo su" it kept exitting? [04:45] juice_: just works is a figment of some idiots imagination. [04:45] can anyone help me with Ati issues? [04:46] <_deselby> amirman .. is that compiz issue ? [04:46] *brb [04:46] hey i got that ati issue too [04:46] Scunizi, put something like 'rhythmbox %p' instead of the default 'xmms %p' [04:46] allied telesyn [04:46] Daisuke_Ido: THANKS! Audacious worked.. I've got sound again! [04:46] juice_: it has to do with the xorg.conf file, your driver is working but that file is sending the wrong info to your screen: when i had that problem some guys in #compiz helped me out a whole lot [04:46] allied telesyn modems right? [04:46] Scunizi, you're welcome [04:46] UberCanuck: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=778057 === chad__ is now known as caexo [04:46] I added the output at the bottom of my first post. [04:46] Is there any reason 'bum' has such horrid performance? [04:46] to pastbin. [04:46] The_Bridge: use sudo -i, not sudo su [04:46] now... ipw2100 [04:46] hi everybody :) [04:46] Daisuke_Laptop ok. ill see if i can live without it, as this is darn right annoying. thanks for the help [04:47] DJ_Cranky, you're welcome [04:47] I'm not sure what it is, but after a while the screensaver makes my screen go black, and it takes like a minute to wake it up. [04:47] It's unbelievable how bad it can be [04:47] UberCanuck: tried that.. audacious actually worked.. guess maybe cause it's a xmms fork? at any rate,, fixed.. thanks for helping. [04:47] considdering how much it doesn't do [04:47] _deselby: i'm not sure if compiz causes it or not, its just that the compiz guys know all about the xorg.conf file and graphics stuff in general since that's their specialty [04:47] i think ipw2100 has been replaced [04:47] It's an Nvidia GeForce Go 6100. [04:47] why does my onboard nvidia soundcard just stop working since 8.04? never had a problem in 7.10 [04:47] ok what should I do after that ubottu? [04:47] <_deselby> amirman .. ok [04:47] meaning I know my IP, but I have 3 machines behind a router.. How do I ssh to the correct machine? I'm looking over the man pages currently. I'm not seeing a good example to help follow the flags and what not. Ideas? [04:47] <_deselby> amirman .. thanks [04:47] i hear a little bit of static when i login [04:47] maunykah: ubottu is a bot [04:47] /lib/modules/2.6.24-16-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ipw2100.ko [04:47] thx dude [04:47] _deselby: don't let the crappy resolution get you down, you're almost there [04:47] gosh darnit!

[04:48] Gun_Smoke: 192.168.0.0\24 rather. [04:48] Hello all [04:48] hi [04:48] nope..getting the same error once again [04:48] cellofellow: the /24 is for? [04:48] I'm having a slight problem with FFX 3B5 on HH [04:48] Hi @all. I just installed ubuntu 8 and find my way to the 'Orca screen magnifier' the problem is that it run horrible slow 1-3FPS - so it's no real fun to use... [04:48] Scunizi, audacious is great, sorry i couldn't help more [04:49] It crashes on load occasionally [04:49] nevermind my question [04:49] Uber: Did you get my output? [04:49] Enough that it is rather annoying... [04:49] Hello. How would I execute a modprobe at boot time? [04:49] Gun_Smoke: means scan the whole network. That can be 24, 16, or 8. [04:49] Ek0nomik, is this a sata drive? not sure what smbus either [04:49] yeah. [04:49] hello I am having trouble with ubuntu everytime i close my screen and the monitor turns off i cant get my computer to come back [04:49] sata. [04:49] can someone here please check if the new Ubuntu Hardy shipped the ipw2100.ko? [04:49] the screen just stays black [04:49] #!/usr/bin/perl -w^M <-- that explained it all [04:49] _deselby: what is your graphics device? [04:49] thank you thank you [04:49] should I just do what was suggested? Install mediubuntu depositories? [04:49] what could it be [04:49] Gun_Smoke: I'm not sure why 24, to me it should be 8, but oh well. [04:49] codo: yes it did [04:49] /lib/modules/2.6.24-16-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ipw2100.ko [04:49] can I do it manually? [04:50] Daisuke_Laptop: oh no >,< it just missing on my laptop, can you tell me which package that I should reinstall to have it? [04:50] maunykah, the only reason i mentioned medibuntu is because installing it incorrectly was what made synaptic crash on me [04:50] hello. i was trying to install Hardy with the Install ubuntu option. the CD went quiet after pressing Enter for the 1st time. i pressed it again and then it started loading the kernel and gave this error msg after some time, 'Kernel-panic: VFS: cannot sync root fs on an unknown block (104, 0)'. Please help [04:50] looking now [04:50] can someone tell me why I can see a smb share but cannot log into it from a winders machine ? [04:50] What is the easiest way to update to the latest version of ubuntu? [04:50] Does anyone know of any major problems with video on kernel 2.6.18? [04:50] lsb_release -a [04:50] localgod12: You cant log into it from a windows machine? [04:51] maunykah, i was just saying that whatever you installed that broke it, you should remove and install it with a different method [04:51] oops, sorry [04:51] hi, how can I scan ports in a remote PC? (I don't want to do anything bad, remote pc services are not working but pinging works) [04:51] ahh ok [04:51] localgod12: If that's the case ---> ##windows [04:51] cellofellow: Thanks. And that would/should return host names? Or how about I know the host name? [04:51] Trixsey: easiest is to install clean from the CD. [04:51] doh this dns problem's killing me [04:51] ... Disabling 'bilinear Filtering' in orca's advance options didn't brought a speed up. I've a Intel 2400MHz with a matrox G400 Back to Windows magnify.exe works with let's say 50fps. Are there any other fullscreen screen magnifing apps for Linux or what can I do to make orca to run faster? [04:51] Does anyone know of any major problems with video on kernel 2.6.18? [04:51] ?? [04:51] cpudan80: ?? [04:51] hi [04:51] Ek0nomik, not sure whats what - sata should be fine, but that smbus wasn't detected correctly [04:51] Trizzle: what ar you trying to figure out about your distro?: [04:51] maunykah, medibuntu is just a repo for restricted codecs and stuff, it wouldn't fix your problem, but it will let you play DVDs :) [04:51] Gun_Smoke: you can try "host ipaddress". If you don't have DNS set up it might not help anything, though. [04:51] I don't even know what smbus is. :/ [04:51] Indy: I'm trying to get it to the latest version [04:52] I always wanted to do Linux, but I never did. So I was thinking about it, and found this channel, so here I am, I guess.. [04:52] localgod12: You said you can see an SMB share in ubuntu - but can't log into it from a windows box... if that is the case, ##windows is where you should go for help [04:52] Trizzle: well, what version does lsb_releas -a show you have? [04:52] humm.... I need to get on a different network to play. [04:52] hi athleone [04:52] I have a very large tgz file, and I want to extract a series of files from it without extracting the entire archive. How can I do that? [04:52] localgod12: If you cant log into it from Ubuntu, then we are here to help :-) [04:52] download it and install it ubuntu rocks [04:52] how do you know it wasn't detected properly? [04:52] so uh how should I start? [04:52] codo, i'm not seeing it blacklisted by default... retricted modules, perhaps [04:52] Good question, my computer is locked up and the only thing I can do is type in this window [04:52] so, i don't know [04:52] I don't think I even installed anything really. I went into "Manage depositories" and from there selected "restricted" and unsupported and recommended updates. Closed everything and when I tried to get back in, I received that error [04:52] gonna restart and try to find out [04:52] Ek0nomik, fedora worked? could be kernel options - you can always recompile a kernel - kernel-package is your friend [04:52] is there any indonesia based ubuntu forum such as this? [04:52] ok [04:53] All I have is this little cygwin. [04:53] i mean a regional one [04:53] Uber: Fedora didn't exactly work... [04:53] !id | The_Bridge [04:53] The_Bridge: join ke #ubuntu-id untuk membahas ubuntu dalam bahasa Indonesia [04:53] Ek0nomik, a guess "Subsystem: Dell Unknown device 0177" [04:53] i dont think i communicated the problem: I can see it from winders, it asks me for login information for the smb share i give it the user account but thats not what it wants [04:53] I was unable to partition it. [04:53] although it really isnt linux... [04:53] I just wish I could undo whatever it is I did [04:53] I could just "see" it. [04:53] I have a small understanding of Unix and some of its commands. [04:53] athleone: if you like learning about computer stuff, and you want an OS that you can configure to your needs linux is the way to go, but keep in mind everything always doesnt go as planned and you have to approach sometimes distressing stuff as a learning experience, when you fix something crazy for the first time you'll have learned a lot and you'll feel like the man... or woman [04:53] I was just wondering, before I start installing Linux, what tips can anyone give me? [04:54] oh.... [04:54] what computer do you have Athleone [04:54] like is it a desktop [04:54] Pentium... [04:54] Sorry if I sound n00bish at times... Im only 12... [04:54] Athleone, be willing to learn, have an open mind, and don't give up as soon as something goes wrong. [04:54] yeah, I have linux on my DS and DSL.. [04:54] athleone: i was a 100% noob just a few days ago, but i'm learning a lot [04:55] lol [04:55] athleone: and you understand unix commands? [04:55] yes. [04:55] those, i think, are the three biggest things to remember :) [04:55] i rtfmed. [04:55] you rock [04:55] Is there any way to not make 8.04 not stop sound when I switch VTs ? [04:55] UberCanuck: Is there any explanation as to why Ubuntu, Fedora, and others used to work some versions ago. [04:55] Daisuke_Laptop: could it be linux-ubuntu-modules? [04:55] and now suddenly the support is lost? [04:55] Athleone, and don't worry, we won't tell you to rtfm :) [04:55] :P [04:55] athleone: i think the way to go, if you're running windows is to download the latest ubuntu ISO and use the program Wubi thats on there, it's for windows [04:55] Athleone-> you can read some linux tutorials at freeelectrons.com [04:55] alright. [04:55] so I should partition my hard drive? [04:55] Athleone: go to ubuntu.com and download ubuntu. Burn it to a cd and try it. You can try it live running from the cd without changing anything on your system :o) [04:55] athleone: it lets you install ubuntu in a virtual file system on your windows drive [04:55] athleone: you rock [04:56] oh. [04:56] thanks localgod [04:56] so does any1 know how I can fix my problem with my tx2000z??? when I close my screen (laptop) I cant get it to turn on again my monitor [04:56] ah the dreaded blank LCD on lid open. [04:56] * r00tintheb0x shakes head. === almighty is now known as goscrewmyself [04:56] Athleone: You == Awesome. [04:56] athleone: don't partition your drive just yet [04:56] codo, that package does have the firmware [04:56] well, I want to use Linux because mainly its opensource and perl and PHP and Python and the cool Stuff run on it, so I want to learn about Linux, not just install it and use it, but have a feel for the entire OS... [04:56] so is there anyway I can possibly get everything back to normal? [04:57] Ek0nomik, its not uncommon that some things work on 1 distro but not another, very frustrating - if technical, then compile a specifiic kernel for your machine. not usual to loose configuration though [04:57] athleone: wubi lets you install ubuntu without partitioning your drive or anything, it is just like a regular installation except you can't hibernate [04:57] So, in your opinion, what is the best flavor of Linux? [04:57] oops, stupid question,.... [04:57] r00tintheb0x: do you know how to fix [04:57] forgot what channel Im in. [04:57] athleone: and it's like a microsecond slower accessing files [04:57] doh,is there anyone from indonesia in here? [04:57] heh [04:57] I'm compiling a program and it uses jam instead of make, and i installed the jam package but it still says i need to install make. does anyone know of packaged needed for jam? [04:57] Athleone, ask more specific - which flavour for what you want? enterprise desktop within a hetrogenious environ? [04:57] hmmm.... airman, so that means I can install it and it will take over Windoze? [04:58] Uber: Wouldn't that require there to be a distro already installed on it? [04:58] I think Im going for the KDE type. [04:58] to recompile a kernel? [04:58] i'm having a problem with a dsl provider [04:58] athleone: i use ubuntu but i don't necessarily think it's the best, linux mint is good too, but it's based on ubuntu :) [04:58] Athleone: www.distrowatch.com [04:58] Im more of a typer person [04:58] indy: okay I'm back now. what was the command to find out my version of ubuntu? [04:58] Trizzle, lsb_release -a [04:58] the dns that i enter in the network setting keeps on changing itself to modem's vendor ip [04:58] athleone: i chose ubuntu, because it has the best support community and best all around features [04:58] wow, this channel sure is fast... [04:58] Ek0nomik, if your live cd isn't working, you are going to have troubles - me, I'd go do Gentoo and do that, but not recommended for everyone [04:58] alright, ubuntu... [04:58] the dns that i enter in the network setting keeps on changing itself to modem's vendor ip,what should i do? [04:58] Athleone: Packages coming out of its ears = ubuntu :P [04:59] okay, so I have version 7.10, what is the best/quickest way to update to latest version? [04:59] I heard SuSE is good too, though.. [04:59] Athleone: Smart choice [04:59] codo, if the ubuntu-modules package isn't installed for some reason, definitely install it. [04:59] what is the better way to make a little linux program ? [04:59] fyi,the provider gave me allied telesyn dsl modem [04:59] Trizzle: Click the upgrade button in the update manager [04:59] Athleone: its all a matter of opinion, i hate all rpm distros [04:59] do you know a good tuto [04:59] athleone: if you install ubuntu with wubi, it wont mess with windows at all, in fact if you decide you want to get rid of it you can just go to add/remove programs and remove "ubuntu" from there [04:59] but i'm glad others like them [04:59] do i need new drivers for blank LCD on lid open [04:59] ouch, this channel is the fastest ive seen [04:59] Athleone, it's purely a matter of preference. i personally feel that ubuntu gives the best balance between "works well for normal users" and "tinkerable to your heart's content" [04:59] Trizzle: what version are you updting? [04:59] my heads goin dizzy. [05:00] Athleone, you get used to it after a while :) [05:00] tof: 23:59 < carlos> do i need new drivers for blank LCD on lid open [05:00] athleone: openSUSE is really good, especially because it usually automatically installs your wireless which can be a pain for some newbies in ubuntu, even though it only requires a few special clicks in software sources [05:00] argh [05:00] Indy: I just started the update. I thought I had installed hardy heron, but I accidentally installed the previous version [05:00] ????

[05:01] athleone: one of the reasons i didn't install openSUSE is because i heard that the package manager , the thing that installs software for you, was really slow [05:01] Athleone: Ubuntu, you can see how fast this channel goes :P [05:01] yah [05:01] Athleone, ubuntu is great of newbies [05:01] nobody know good programming tuto for beginners ?

Is there a command line argument that goes forward/backward?

[05:05] matthew: or use the minimal cd perhaps [05:05] pygmymath, couldn't fluxbuntu as a whole system not have all its apps and everything caught up tho?. [05:05] tmapj, at the command line `sudo passwd root` [05:05] ok is it possible that anyone here can tell me how to fix a "malformed line 42 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list" [05:05] In system monitor I have 6 "debus-daemon"'s listed all with the same command line referance.. what's up with that? anyone know? [05:05] tmapj, then you can do `su - ` [05:05] or better yet where can I find it to change it [05:05] what is that command [05:05] maunykah: pastebin the file plz [05:06] !sudo | tmapj [05:06] pygmymath: because fluxbox is a windows manager but fluxbuntu has a whole system too [05:06] tmapj: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. [05:06] tmapj, it adds a passwd to root, which is otherwise disabled by default in Ubuntu [05:06] bodsda how do you I get to pastebin again [05:06] so i cant do a dual boot with 2 seperate hard drives? [05:06] UberCanuck, Darn. Perhaps you know of an alternate solution: I'm trying to map my mouse's forward/back buttons to firefox's back/forward (perhaps even to some sort of global back/forward like windows has). Alt + Left and Right aren't good, because for some reason when I try that it gets some odd effects [05:06] maunykah, please pastebin your sources.list [05:06] amirman84: aaah sorry i misunderstood, didnt realise fluxbuntu had more than just fluxbox [05:06] !paste | maunykah [05:06] maunykah: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [05:06] i thought i could use sshfs on the second machine to mount the directories of the third machine.. but the second machine doesnt have it.. and I have limited permissions on it [05:06] #fluxbuntu has more info :] [05:06] friedtofu [05:06] but i have full permissions on the third machine [05:06] joshvittetoe: yeah? [05:07] dmsuperman, interesting - back/forwd even when firefox doesn't have focus? [05:07] hi, i pmd you [05:07] amirman84: if you're looking for lighterweight wm's and aren't concerned about space icewm and fluxbox are great heh. and you can apt get leafpad etc still [05:07] or, i'll paypal matt 30 bucks for that box, and have a nice big metal target [05:07] pygmymath: i'm not exactly sure, just kinda thinking about it, i mean fluxbuntu would have their own set of apps and everything made to be integrated in fluxbox i guess and maybe that stuff isn't caught up with the kernel changes [05:07] I: module-hal-detect.c: Trying capability alsa [05:07] I: alsa-util.c: Couldn't open PCM device surround51:1: Device or resource busy ..... and same for up to 71 [05:07] W: alsa-util.c: Device front:1 doesn't support sample format float32le, changed to s16le. [05:07] UberCanuck, I don't really care about focus, I just want my back/forward buttons to act as actual back and forward buttons. Alt + Left only works in linux, and even then I get odd effects [05:07] Daisuke_Laptop: I do a dirty trick is to copy all modules file and firmware of ipw2100 from other laptop and try to do modprobe but it said the module is not found, is there any file I should edit? [05:07] joshvittetoe: dont see you in my pms :/ [05:08] Argh, PulseAudio won't do surround on my sound card. [05:08] amirman84: true. you can still get the feel by usign fluxbox if you wanna config that ( i gave up and used icewm ) [05:08] UberCanuck, Alt + Left only works in firefox* [05:08] And Audigy2 won't do 24-bit audio, either. [05:08] dmsuperman, no idea, but i wish you luck... and hope you release your code to the community when done :-) [05:08] lol what? u just replied to me [05:08] codo, i have no idea how one would go about that [05:08] pygmymath: i've got a pretty robust laptop, i'm nuts over compiz-fusion so i'd rather just stick with GNOME since it plays so nicely already [05:08] sfd [05:08] UberCanuck, I will certainly do that if I get it figured out :D [05:08] WOW.

But in maunykah case - there is the possibility of screwing it up more. ;-) [05:20] choudesh, dont do anything as root unless you HAVE to if you're a n00b. [05:20] Period. [05:20] Thanks mmmkay?! [05:20] drivetrax how do i do that? [05:20] don't do anything as root unless you have to [05:20] cmd.. a shell [05:20] the noob part can be left out [05:20] is there a way to copy things over ssh from a local server to a remote server? [05:20] Bodsda, better in some ways, better logging for example, pinpoint authorization to apps and or users/groups, etc [05:20] haha @ cmd.. a shell [05:20] ? [05:20] choudesh: maybe so but he has a problem with a dodgy line in sources.list that needs editing so it has to be opened as root ;~) [05:21] i used gksu to open nautilus and install a certificate yesterday, i felt like i learned something :) [05:21] UberCanuck: ???? [05:21] r00tintheb0x, Wine has a shell [05:21] !yay | amirman84 [05:21] amirman84: Glad you made it! :-) [05:21] drivetrax, okay. Still looked funny "cmd" and "shell" in the same sentence. [05:21] Bodsda, sorry, about 'sudo' [05:21] Bodsda, I know. That was I agreed on the use of gksu. I was just trying to get you and Hydrogen to play nice. ^-^ [05:21] well, thas all cmd is.. for windows [05:21] navetz maybe wget command can help you [05:21] gksu = su @ bash. [05:21] drivetrax i dont know how to try to access the drive [05:21] gksudo = sudo @ bash. [05:21] drivetrax: thanks [05:22] r00tintheb0x: how do i check log files [05:22] heh, wineconsole cmd [05:22] :-) [05:22] bodsda and bot friend: thank you [05:22] carlos, they're in /var/log. [05:22] choudesh: ok,.,.no probs ;~) UberCanuck oh kk [05:22] amirman84: your welcome [05:22] You can use the command line to look at it using less, more, cat, grep, or whatnot. [05:22] r00tintheb0x: ok what am i looking for [05:23] i would "tail -n 50 /var/log/messages" [05:23] tmapj - did you re-read ALL this > http://www.winehq.org/site/docs/wineusr-guide/config-wine-main#AEN288 [05:23] do any of you know of any good linux for beginners video podcasts? [05:23] drivetrax i dont know how to try to access the drive [05:23] Anything that would be indicative of why you machine is crashing to GDM. [05:23] Theres probably a few log viewers that have ui's as well [05:23] r00tintheb0x, oops. I missed the do. gksudo is what I meant. ;-) [05:23] no but ill read it now [05:23] carlos, i would look @ /var/log/Xorg.0.log [05:23] r00tintheb0x: should i pase it here orwhere [05:23] amirman84: there are tons out there let me find a link [05:23] ;) @ choudesh [05:23] anyways, maunykah, can you paste the file (or at least line 42) somewhere..? [05:24] indy ;] [05:24] bazhang: thanks! [05:24] carlos, paste the output of "tail -n 25 /var/log/Xorg.0.log" to http://pastebin.ca [05:24] tmapj - Sounds like you did not map the root C: under wine.. if that is possible [05:24] :) [05:24] hydrogen I wish I could, I don't know how to access that entire list of lines [05:24] maunykah: gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [05:24] anyone here know howto get mozilla-mplayer to work in firefox 3? [05:25] it seem that not all plugin work in ff3 [05:25] maunykah: enter the command Hydrogen gave you in a terminal [05:25] carlos, im not getting any younger :P [05:25] Mozilla has a Huge forum [05:25] I have and I get the message that gedit isn't installed [05:25] r00tintheb0x: here http://pastebin.ca/1005698 [05:25] !lamp [05:25] LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [05:25] maunykah: are you on kubuntu by chance? [05:25] yes I am [05:25] maunykah: are you using kubuntu? [05:25] does kate /etc/apt/sources.list work? [05:25] ah [05:25] yes [05:26] yes, kate /etc/apt/sources.list [05:26] carlos join #r00tintheb0x [05:26] kdesu /etc/apt/sources.list actually [05:26] lamp.. is that as fully featured as apache? [05:26] drivetrax: it contains apache [05:26] mysticdarkhack: there's a little config tweaking you can do, i'll find the link for you, but i should just add that it makes your FF3 more vulnerable to being destroyed by addons that might do just that [05:26] woohoo! Kate opened [05:26] and php and mysql [05:26] It's four times more featured drivetrax, actually [05:26] ok I will paste it in the pastebin [05:26] ah, wull I never loade apache [05:26] hydrogen: LOL [05:27] amirman84: youtube is actually the best source out there; audio podcasts can be found on www.distrowatch.com (one example) [05:27] bazhang: cool, i didn't know distrowatch had anything but a poll hehe [05:28] here it is: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9681/ [05:28] what are the default groups assigned to the super user account? [05:28] hey all [05:28] amirman84: 32,800 youtube linux broadcasts ;] [05:28] DarkLordVenom: 'root' [05:28] DarkLordVenom: just root [05:29] i have mounted 1Xhdd inside a nas device, and i have mounted that hdd on my desktop, now ive put a second hdd inside the nas, how do i mount that to my hdd? [05:29] maunykah:; looks like you just have to add dashes where the spaces are in ubuntu hardy partner [05:29] how do i select all in nano [05:29] it should be deb-src [05:29] If my motherboards specifications say "Upgradeable to 1gb of ram" what would happen if I put 2gb in? [05:29] not deb src [05:29] please just point me in a direction, google is turning up nothing, but im prob asking the wrong question [05:29] i mean, you know how you have the root account, then you make another account for the system user that has sudo privileges, what groups does that one belong to? [05:29] AussieGuy: eeepc? [05:29] is my geforce 5200 card supported by hardy [05:29] DarkLordVenom: that user would be in the admin group [05:29] Hmm. [05:29] pawan: yes [05:29] pawan@pawan-desktop:~$ lspci -nn | grep VGA [05:29] 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: nVidia Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5200] [10de:0322] (rev a1) [05:29] pawan@pawan-desktop:~$ [05:29] no, its an old msi motherboard that has an athlon xp 1700 in it [05:29] AussieGuy: nothin [05:30] KDE4 is alright, but I like GNOME better. [05:30] maunykah: did you open it with kate /etc/apt/sources.list or kdesu /etc/apt/sources.list [05:30] bazhang its an ASUS micro laptop, really awesome, runs on some linux flavoure [05:30] bazhang: i was looking more along the lines of a regular show type thing that i could subscribe to in miro, but if there are that many i'll have to check them out [05:30] would most likely it work? [05:30] moDumass what nas it is ? [05:30] err "or kdesu kate /ec/apt/sources.list [05:30] dont compare kde4 with gnome [05:30] " [05:30] kde4 is not ready === schlort__ is now known as schlort [05:30] oh that's all? [05:30] AussieGuy: only with one gb [05:30] then why is it not showing high resolutions [05:30] maunykah: yea [05:30] kde3 3.5.9 is the one ready [05:30] CYREX: yet it still blows it away :-) [05:30] tof its a linksys nas200 [05:30] amirman84: miro is good as well as that gets googlevideo dailymotion youtube and others [05:30] EEe sucks for using a "vegetable" as a CPU. [05:30] * Hydrogen hugs his highly transparent theme [05:30] it opened with kate /etc/... [05:30] how can i find a changelog for the new hardy-proposed generic kernel? I want to see if anything's been done to the rtl8187 driver [05:30] Celeron == no speedstep == poor battery life. [05:30] maunykah: okay, you need to reopen using kdesu, so you can edit it [05:31] hydrogen: what about the sapces in "ubuntu hardy partner" [05:31] They'd be better off with, at the very least, a first-gen Pentium M. [05:31] do you need that line? [05:31] I left it open [05:31] amirman84: thats fine [05:31] which line should I alter? [05:31] maunykah: yes, you need to open it as root, as its a system file [05:31] so you need to open it as "kdesu kate /etc/apt/sources.list" [05:31] hai? [05:31] http://www.msicomputer.com/product/detail_spec/MS6378_2a.htm thats the motherboard...says maximum memory size 1gb [05:31] i have a macbook see the next page maybe can help you, i don't know http://mybookworld.wikidot.com/ [05:31] hai! [05:31] wb carlos [05:31] ah ok [05:31] opop: try: aptitude changelog linux-image-2.6.24-17-generic [05:31] word [05:32] mybook sorry [05:32] AussieGuy: you can try but likely a no go [05:32] r00tintheb0x: it crashed [05:32] thanks, DanaG--not used to aptitude. [05:32] and also cannot run compiz [05:32] i see Carbonflux [05:32] carlos, [05:32] carlos, join #r00tintheb0x [05:32] ok re-opened [05:32] Aptitude can be used for many things besides just the text-UI and package installation. [05:32] AussieGuy: doesnt matter how much RAM you put in it will only see 1 gb [05:32] I actually have a mobile phone that cla/join #r00tinthebox [05:33] how to set nv in xorg.conf [05:33] maunykah: okay, change deb src to deb-src [05:33] r00tintheb0x: ahh im lagging [05:33] and save it [05:33] AussieGuy ?? [05:33] on a .edu line? [05:33] damn, nothing. [05:33] Thats a shame. [05:33] ok changed [05:33] save it now? [05:33] pawan, what nv card do you have exactly? [05:33] wonder if there's a new driver on rtl-wifi svn... [05:33] fx 5200 [05:34] most probably. ill find a forum for that motherboard just to be sure [05:34] someone else has probably tried it [05:34] Hi, I'm on 8.04. Every time I try to log out/shut down/restart, the menu panels close and then I am left with the PC hanging, showing the desktop image. If I leave it be, it will stay there forever. Ctl-Alt-Backspace allows the process to continue. Where should i start looking for the problem? [05:34] anyone know of a good website that has linux software categorized? [05:34] I wonder if there's an RTL8180 driver. [05:34] AussieGuy: I am sure [05:34] DanaG, i'm sure there is... [05:34] quick question: I don't need to put "#" in front of the lines do I? I mean for lines 42 and 43? [05:34] is that one broken too, you mean, DanaG [05:34] bcgrown: launchpad bug reports [05:34] Is there a cpanel type program for ubuntu? [05:34] It's not in the packaged kernel. [05:34] maunykah: adding a # in front of them disables them [05:34] I don't need it, but it bugs me that it's missing. [05:34] ohhh ok [05:34] so I can save it now right? [05:35] I just setup Ubuntu on a USB hard drive. I want to add several boot options (such as dos6.22, dos5.0, win98 boot disk, freedos, bartPE, etc). How can I do that with ubuntu and grub? [05:35] carlos, let me know when you're not lagging. [05:35] bazhang: i've looked there, and found lots of reports but no solutions... [05:35] DanaG, lemme check...i can't find a compilable version of that driver, however--wondering if i'm missing a library--although i predict it's just crappy code... [05:35] Not 2.6.24-compatible, I've heard. [05:35] DanaG, not that i'm criticizing the devs [05:35] bcgrown: the first workarounds will be posted there; can you boot from an earlier kernel [05:35] As in, won't compile. [05:35] DanaG, me too. [05:35] bazhang: yes i can try that [05:35] maunykah: yes [05:36] barack [05:36] it works!! thanks so much hydrogen and others for your patience! [05:36] DanaG, that's the rumor, but there are others out there--nothing on the rtl-wifi forums on compile failure, however (hosted on sf) [05:36] maunykah: yay :) [05:36] bazhang: i upgraded from 7.10 to 8.04 so i should be able to still boot from the old kernel, right? (they both appear in my GRUB menu still) [05:36] =D [05:36] luis__: this is ubuntu supprot channel do you have a question === kausikram is now known as kausi [05:36] bcgrown: should do [05:36] bcgrown: yes === kausi is now known as kausikram [05:36] pawan: try looking here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=375968 [05:37] ok i will try that now [05:37] before I stop bothering you all(haha), how can I safely add dvd playback? [05:37] cross your fingers for me :) [05:37] I was trying to add libdvdcss2 [05:37] !dvd [05:37] For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs [05:37] i use vlc to play dvds [05:37] maunykah, install the medibuntu repository, i'll find the page with instructions for you [05:37] DanaG, looks like the current rtl-wifi svn tree has something called "rtl8180-migration-for-upstream" and "rtl8180-sa2400-dev", which means to me that it's borked [05:37] DanaG, based on the fact it's still marked dev [05:37] Is there away to uninstall gnome completely and just use fluxbox without having to download another iso of ubuntu? [05:38] DLJ_, yes. Next question? [05:38] is it this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu [05:38] ? [05:38] How? [05:38] maunykah, try this one: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu#head-7486ed038a9becc1dff10a24cc07a38a00d70e9f [05:38] DLJ_: you might want to try the fully configured fluxbuntu distro [05:38] DLJ_, that's a good question. [05:39] sudo apt-get purge ubuntu-desktop i think DLJ_ [05:39] Bodsda: that wont do it [05:39] evening folks , how do I fix this "fail to initialise HAL!" on the latest update ? [05:39] anyone know a command to list all partitions even though it isnt mounted? [05:39] Pelo, which arch? [05:39] bazhang, No cause my internet connection is slow and I don't want to wait 5 years [05:39] Bodsda, ubuntu-desktop is just a metapackage it won'T uninstall anything [05:39] bazhang: blah -- ok [05:40] opop, how do I find that out ? [05:40] ok ty [05:40] pelo 32bit? [05:40] paste the results of uname -a [05:40] maunykah, is any of that confusing? [05:40] bazhang, oh, 32bit yes [05:40] that is the arch Pelo [05:40] pelo ^^^^ [05:40] noice [05:40] opop, 32bit yes [05:41] lol @ paul_t3h_houston [05:41] Linux GLaDOS 2.6.24-17-generic #1 SMP Thu May 1 14:31:33 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux [05:41] the hostname refuses to change even if i follow the steps bot gave me [05:41] pelo--try booting into the prior kernel, see if it goes away. [05:41] werd [05:41] Still doesn't fix audio dropouts! [05:41] I hate this "CFS" scheduler! [05:41] * Pelo just spent 30 min forcing previous version of all 32 packages in the last update and he still gets the HAL thing, but at least now he can connecct [05:41] Completely Fair, my $BODY_PART [05:41] (hit escape when it says 3..2..1.. on the grub bootloader) [05:41] paul_t3h_houston, join #ubuntu-offtopic [05:41] opop, it didnT' [05:41] amirman84, I received an error message stating that a public key is not available [05:41] Pelo, poop.

[05:42] pawan, gksu gedit /etc/.... [05:42] should I pastebin what I see? [05:42] is it possible to create a .ps file from a file at the command line?

[05:42] yes but not working for me [05:42] pawan, gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [05:42] maunykah, couldn't hurt [05:42] you can also use nano, vim, or vi... [05:42] pelo, which kernel? [05:43] !webmin [05:43] webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. [05:43] pelo, nm, you said all the kernels. [05:43] !ebox [05:43] ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox [05:43] r00tintheb0x: why would anyone use vi if they had vim installed... [05:43] ARGH, I HATE THESE AUDIO DROPOUTS! [05:43] opop, no idea if anyone else is getting it, just managed to get connected back , and the kernel with this upgrade is -17 [05:43] a) they would't [05:43] +n [05:43] I don't get them under 2.6.22-14-generic. [05:43] hello [05:43] yar [05:43] hi all [05:43] Hydrogen, dont know... i've never used vim... just vi. [05:43] r00tintheb0x: you around? [05:43] Pelo, what does hald --version return? [05:43] opop, I only have 2 kernels right now, the hardy ones, curiously I removed my last gusty kernel this morning [05:43] hi Dent_ [05:43] but i've heard of vim. [05:44] I get dropouts on closing lid, dropouts on rotating cube, dropouts on changing tab in pidgin, dropouts on scrolling in Firefox...

[05:44] r00tintheb0x: on all systems not 300 years old [05:44] HULK SMASH! [05:44] Hi, when using tar to extract. there's a corrupt file, let's say file1.dat.. how do i extract backup.tar.gz, but exclude file1.dat? [05:44] this thing is shit [05:44] oh Hydrogen ... heh. [05:44] opop, HAL package version: 0.5.11rc2 [05:44] jazman language [05:44] gracias, same on mine. [05:44] well it is [05:44] i'm on amd64, however [05:44] Hydrogen: vi is lil faster when you just need to edit something instead of waitinf for vim to pop up [05:44] mike@malakai:~$ which vi [05:44] /usr/bin/vi [05:44] mike@malakai:~$ which vim [05:44] /usr/bin/vim [05:44] r00tintheb0x: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:44] Hydrogen, looks like two different binaries to me. [05:45] r00tintheb0x: but the same program [05:45] pelo and i didn't upgrade...so it's not hal per se [05:45] maybe [05:45] just run `vi` [05:45] * Pelo never know what's what anymore, shit use to be bad, then it was good, no he's not sure, Jazman___ clarify pleease [05:45] the splash that pops up [05:45] No, they're not the same. VIM is a spin off of VI. [05:45] VIM - Vi IMproved [05:45] boots op then goes to dos dont no command to get it up teice i haved to install it [05:45] I know, im being literal. [05:45] right, vim is a splash of vi [05:45] but, `vi` on your system [05:45] is actually vim [05:45] jazman dos? [05:46] no, vi is vi... vim is vi improved. [05:46] Hi, when using tar to extract. there's a corrupt file, let's say file1.dat.. how do i extract backup.tar.gz, but exclude file1.dat so it will extract the rest of the achive?? (does this make sense?) [05:46] why does ubuntu keep forgetting my wifi pass? [05:46] its LIKE vi. [05:46] opop, the previous hal verson is the same it's just a newpackage, hardy-proposed, [05:46] ok here it is: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9683/ [05:46] looks lit dos to me [05:46] bazhang, was thinking the same thing.... [05:46] localgod11, because it isnt secure enough. [05:46] Jazman_: what are you installing? [05:46] hardy [05:46] in anycase I'm off to bed, enough excitement for tonight , seee you all tomorrow [05:46] your kidding [05:46] night Pelo [05:46] r00tintheb0x: no, running the command vi *on your system* is the *exact same thign* as running vim *on your system* [05:46] r00tintheb0x: hey its me carlos...o [05:46] pelo, try reinstalling hal real quick [05:47] i had to re install twice [05:47] r00tintheb0x: im in your chan [05:47] ok [05:47] jazman_: check this out, i think it applies to how you announced your problem: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=FSUES&sourceid=Mozilla-search [05:47] ARGH, AUDIO DROPOUTS! [05:47] pelo has left the building [05:47] then d/l stuf again [05:47] And this is supposed to be an IMPROVED scheduler? [05:47] DanaG, aw. that sucks. [05:47] is there expose in compiz? [05:47] DanaG, what are you runnin? [05:47] jazman reinstall is usually the last option in linux [05:47] looks lik i try kubuntu [05:47] fazuka_: yes called scale [05:47] thats what i thought [05:47] Kernel, or hardware? [05:47] DanaG, whatever [05:48] anyone know where GDM keeps it's resolution info? Was right in Gutsy, wrong now in Hardy, and I can't find the res chooser - it's not in System->Admin->Welcome Window... [05:48] amirman84, did you install the depositories manually? [05:48] is there a way to make ls show only hidden files [05:48] Linux GLaDOS 2.6.24-17-generic #1 SMP Thu May 1 14:31:33 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux [05:48] but i do like it but cd label print wont work under wine [05:48] CPU is Core Duo 1.83GHz. [05:48] jazman see glabels [05:48] jazman_: giving up and starting from scratch is the windows way, leave that world behind. with linux we can find out whats wrong and fix it because it's all open source [05:48] Madpilot, system > preferences [05:48] DanaG, why not 64-bit? working great here, with certain hardware issues [05:48] Madpilot, its system->preferences->screen resolutions :) [05:49] no wobbly windows with scale [05:49] ? [05:49] Hi, when using tar to extract. there's a corrupt file, let's say file1.dat.. how do i extract backup.tar.gz, but exclude file1.dat so it will extract the rest of the achive?? (does this make sense?) [05:49] DarkLordVenom: a cheap way... ls -a | grep '^\.' [05:49] /quit [05:49] maunykah: i used the method from that site i sent you, was any of it confusing to you? maybe you ran the wrong option on there... [05:49] There may be an option to only show hidden to ls [05:49] fazuka_: at the same time? no [05:49] Madpilot-> on a terminal type gnome-display-properties [05:49] but I know that works :) [05:49] Core Duo is Yonah, which is 32-bit. [05:49] arvind_khadri, cdubya - that's for regular resolution, my problem is GDM's settings [05:49] DanaG, not core 2 duo, my bad. [05:49] fluidd, read the man pages [05:49] DanaG, anywho sorry about your sound. [05:49] I just copied and pasted [05:49] Oh yeah, one factor is that I run folding@home (2 instances; one per core) [05:49] but i dont know how to fix linux [05:50] Madpilot, ok so check in the xorg.conf [05:50] DanaG, emu10k or what? [05:50] anyone know what user name and password samba is looking for? [05:50] I tried, but obviously I messed up my syntaxes, arvind_khadri I tried --exclude command. [05:50] Jazman___, what's broken? [05:50] Yeah. Card is notebook Audigy2. [05:50] fluidd, ok the best way is to google :) [05:50] jazman that is why we are here ;] [05:50] Tried that to [05:50] r00tintheb0x: if you really need proof... diff -b /usr/bin/vi /usr/bin/vim [05:50] That's why I'm here. :) [05:50] cant boot ubunti [05:50] Oddly, the chip is CA0109-1AG; SBLive is CA0106-something; Audigy is CA10xxxx. [05:50] thanks hydrogen [05:50] xim, generally, you have to give it one--no access until you do. [05:50] Is there a good antivirus for Ubuntu? I send a lot of stuff back and forth with a couple of Windows users, I just want to make sure I'm not sending them something nasty :) [05:50] Jazman_: neither do i but i've gotten a lot of help here and in other irc channels on this server and www.ubuntuforums.com [05:50] arvind_khadri, was hoping to avoid descent into the conf itself, but I'll have a look there. Thanks. [05:50] the slapsh goes up then goeas to a does type screen [05:51] fluidd, ok let me check the man pages [05:51] lol [05:51] bleh @ Hydrogen [05:51] xim, what are you trying to do that is prompting you? [05:51] you win ;) [05:51] Madpilot, :) no other way [05:51] [Hardy] My Tracker program does not generate a file ~/.local/share/tracker/tracker.log. Is this an error? [05:51] opop, access it from a windows computer [05:51] i tried using my reuglar login and password but no dice [05:51] Madpilot: is it sudo displayconfig-gtk not sure with hardy xorg now [05:51] fluidd, you want to unzip right [05:51] Yes. === tadpole is now known as TadPole [05:52] Completely Fair Scheduler: EPIC FAIL! [05:52] what happened to the shared folders in hardy? [05:52] maunykah: are you sure you copied and pasted the right lines in the right order? i'm also thinking that maybe those lines don't mesh well with kubuntu, but i dont see any ubuntu specific commands on there [05:52] Compiling something should NOT cause audio dropouts! [05:52] DanaG: hmm? [05:52] bazhang, thats the same as system->preferences one :) [05:52] maunykah: but also i am a n00000b [05:52] timandtom: clamav and avast for linux [05:52] I came up with: tar -xzvf backup.tar.gz --exclude-tag-all=file1.dat, but no luck, arvind_khadri . [05:52] fluidd, ok wait a min [05:52] oh yea..I should look for commands for kubuntu then right? [05:52] bazhang: Do those check for viruses that would hit Windows as well? [05:52] Rotating my **** CUBE should not cause audio dropouts! [05:53] DanaG: This is off topic for this channel [05:53] timandtom: should do if you keep them updated [05:53] so when i boot up the slash type logo goes up in a few secs then the does type page comes up === TadPole is now known as LoRd [05:53] please take your rant elsewhere [05:53] DanaG, ick [05:53] fluidd, ok do you know regular expressions [05:53] Well, it IS an issue withHardy. [05:53] whats better gnome or kde === LoRd is now known as Sentinel [05:53] arvind_khadri, Negative. [05:53] I mean it starts to install or unpackage something in the terminal, but then at the end I get that public key error [05:53] DanaG: and your not asking a question, or searching for support [05:53] -> its off topic [05:53] But anyway, I'll switch off "rant mode" now. [05:53] not sure what's going on there [05:53] DanaG: best to file a bug report or confirm others [05:54] bazhang: Ah, sweet, thanks :) [05:54] DanaG, what sort of video hardware? [05:54] nvidia. [05:54] DanaG, and are you using a sound server? [05:54] HEY maunykah! [05:54] maunykah: try this one "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-restricted-extras" [05:54] DanaG, like esd or anything? [05:54] PulseAudio. [05:55] I do use the multi-device features. [05:55] And I am a member of pulse-rt. [05:55] I'm having a hell of a time getting my wireless card working in Hardy. It worked perfectly in Gusty. Now, whenever I do anything with the wlan0 interface, I get the error "SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory". The card is a RaLink RT2600. Any ideas? [05:55] opop what did you mean i have to 'give' it a password? like as i try to connect from a client or some config file on the server? [05:55] 2 problems. First, While compiz is on, switching users causes my screen to go white and not respond. 2nd [not sure if compiz relates] When user2 logs out and user1 logs in, user1's desktop experience becomes sssllllooooooowww and laggy. how do i fix this? [05:55] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/188226 -- oddly, even though the kernel I'm now booted from is supposed to fix it, it's not fixed. [05:55] any ideas how to get it to boot bugger reinstalling it all the time [05:55] Launchpad bug 188226 in linux "Kernel should use CONFIG_FAIR_CGROUP_SCHED" [Low,In progress] [05:55] fluidd, well i feel its this way tar -xzvf --exclude="file1.dat" [05:56] xim, nm that. how did you ask to create the share? through the interface or directly in /etc/samba/smb.conf? [05:56] I get grub error 21 after installing ubuntu on a USB hard drive. How do I fix that? [05:56] looks im going back to windozs [05:56] thanks [05:56] jazman you need to give precise info for us to help [05:56] fluidd, just try and let me know [05:56] oh I did that one amirman84..is that the same thing? [05:56] bit hard im on windows [05:56] Idiamond, hav u made the proper changes in the grub menu? i mean the HD mapping? [05:56] !webmin [05:56] webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. [05:56] Jazman___, you shouldn't have to be reinstalling all the time. [05:56] opop, i havent actually set up a share yet, but just to connect to the server like \\server\ it prompts for a password [05:56] !usb | ldiamond [05:56] arvind_khadri, one sec. [05:56] ldiamond: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [05:56] LadyNikon, i just got yer nic [05:56] well i dont know how to gwt to boot [05:56] ebox seems to have less features than webmin :( [05:56] jazman_: also please don't act like we OWE you something. please. [05:57] if it is woohoo! but I still can't get dvd playback [05:57] hey all, i have 2 CIFS hdds on my network, one is mounted to my desktop but i cant seem to even find the other, any ideas? [05:57] opop: :) [05:57] ldiamond, hav u made the proper changes in the grub menu? i mean the HD mapping? [05:57] xim, set up a share first, see if that changes [05:57] k [05:57] hello [05:57] quick question [05:57] maunykah, you might have to reboot.. ? [05:57] cool Jazman___, good luck with that. [05:57] in what file and under what directory are ubuntu's printing prefs located? [05:57] whats up jjt001 [05:57] anyone using kdocker and find its not playing nice with evolution anymore since hardy? [05:57] !ask | jjt001 [05:57] jjt001: 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. :-) [05:57] Jazman___: Can you explain in more detail about your problem? [05:57] LadyNikon, was on "on demand" a few months back--stayed up way too late, and dreamed of 28,800bps modems [05:57] alright I will reboot. whatever helps! [05:58] i have [05:58] have to step away for a bit [05:58] r00tintheb0x: hey [05:58] * Hydrogen fires up the botnet [05:58] r00tintheb0x: how are things going? [05:58] Jazman___: I'm afraid I couldn't possibly wade through tons of chat text above to find it. Can you please repeat it for my reference? [05:58] Whats up jjt001, stuffs great. [05:58] when i boot the ubuntu shcreen comes up then goes to a dos like pack were i got to put commands in and i have no idea what to do [05:58] can anyone tell me why compiz.real is using between 60-100% of one of my 2.4ghz processors? "glxinfo|grep direct" says direct rendiering is on [05:58] jazman_: i've tried to listen to your problem but all you've explained is that you can't boot and something is all buggy [05:58] nothing much man, just coding [05:58] hello, channel [05:59] dan: ello [05:59] dan, hi [05:59] Jazman___: Ah, ok. Does it show you some kind of diagnostic message, say an error or warning? [05:59] Jazman___: you may consider wubi [05:59] ello [05:59] no [05:59] !wubi | Jazman___ [05:59] Jazman___: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. [05:59] Jazman___, you need to reconfigure your xserver. look up how to get to a failsafe prompt, then issue the command "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" and select your correct hardware. [05:59] i did install using wubi [05:59] USB hard drive booting does things differently. [05:59] anyway, any of you guys know what directory printing prefs are located in [05:59] i'm considering trying ubuntu on a new system of mine. is there some sort of way to check whether it will support all of my hardware before i download the iso? [05:59] BIOS may change drive order. [05:59] Jazman___: It's a matter of preference [06:00] jazman--reboot and try "safe mode", or diagnostics mode--you'll then be given a choice to fix your X configuration. It will walk you through some questions. Try answering those, and come back. [06:00] i.e. a list of supported hardware somewhere [06:00] * Hydrogen notes again that the author of `bum` should be shot [06:00] dan: The best way is to try out the LiveCD (it won't touch your hard disk) [06:00] dan best way is to boot the livecd [06:00] !hardware | dan [06:00] dan: 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 [06:00] ah see [06:00] i tried safe made or recovery mode but loaded the drivers then froze [06:00] Jazman___, when you reboot, you'll see a dialog that says "grub booting in 3 2 1, press esc to enter menu" or some such [06:00] babolat no I have not, I just launched the install CD and installed it on my usb hard disk. Now I cant boot on either install [06:00] Jazman___, ok, then when it prompts you for the drivers, just type "vesa" [06:00] Yay I fixed it myself ^.^ [06:00] dan: i used wubi just for that [06:00] [Hardy] My Tracker program does not generate a file ~/.local/share/tracker/tracker.log. Is this an error? [06:01] thanks everybody and ubottu [06:01] * dan snickers quietly [06:01] Jazman___, then you'll get a basic desktop with no accelleration, but at least you'll have a desktop and we can go from there.

Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. [06:01] ldiamond: so problem fixed? [06:01] Jazman___, don't try to do whatever accellerated drivers you're currently trying to put in it. [06:01] Jazman___, just stick with vesa, and see what happens, k? [06:02] dan: i installed ubuntu inside of windows to see if i could get my hardware working and since it worked great i decided to switch :) [06:02] oh my. you can install linux on windows now/! [06:02] grrr [06:02] ubuntu making me mad lol [06:02] DanaG, any kind of changes change the boot order--it's nuts. [06:02] topologilinux? [06:02] ldiamond: oh.. *cant*... well, boot into the live CD again and reinstall grub [06:02] jburd: if you use the liveCD can you really install drivers and all that? [06:02] babolat nop [06:02] hoy there everyone [06:03] I leave grub on internal, and chain to the USB if I must. [06:03] hey everyone [06:03] Ill tell you exactly what I'm trying to do [06:03] I want to format a partition as ntfs, how can I do this? [06:03] ldiamond: do u know how to reinstall grub ;) [06:03] Anyone had problems playing dvds in hardy, with ubuntu-restricted extras installed? [06:03] Oh, and beware if you install on a USB hard drive on somebody else's computer -- when I did that, it trampled on the internal drive's MBR. [06:03] pete_, sofiankr1 hi [06:03] dan, i had the toughest time trying to figure out why Vista wouldn't see its own bootloader after boot. it was all about the boot order that I'd fragged up trying to work with MS customer support on installing SP1 [06:03] I'm having a hell of a time getting my wireless card working in Hardy. It worked perfectly in Gusty. Now, whenever I do anything with the wlan0 interface, I get the error "SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory". The card is a RaLink RT2600. Any ideas? [06:03] Does anyone know what happened to the Shared Folders in Hardy? [06:03] someone with an unmodified /etc/nsswitch.conf please do /exec -o grep hosts /etc/nsswitch.conf [06:03] i will see how i go because i do prefare ubuntu over winders [06:03] babolat, can I pm you? === robert__ is now known as cwraig [06:03] sofiankr1, use mkfs [06:03] \dan\danag [06:03] does an alternate CD require internet? [06:03] Netham45, yes [06:03] ok [06:03] thanks for youe help i will try again got to sparge my brew [06:03] ldiamond: go ahead [06:03] You can actually now chain Grub from "BCD" -- look up easybcd. [06:04] arvind_khadri: from the command line? [06:04] It'll actually make it so you don't have to worry about Vista trampling on Grub. [06:04] keith, it's in each folder's properties. i did notice a lot of that configgy stuff is gone--where's the dialog to change my video driver? gone [06:04] wubi chains it automatically. [06:04] sofiankr1, yeah [06:04] DanaG, i noticed that, it was great [06:04] thanks everyone, live cd it is [06:04] arvind_khadri: I tried gparted, but formatting as ntfs was greyed out [06:04] well, live *pendrive* [06:04] how do I install RAR support [06:04] Yeah, but wubi means you can't boot Linux if NTFS was unsafely unmounted. [06:04] Or rather, not unmounted before disconnect. [06:04] sofiankr1, which ubuntu?? [06:04] arvind_khadri: hardy [06:04] looks like jazzy rebooted [06:04] DanaG, you just need to add force to the fstab. [06:05] roxahris, install the unrar and rar packages [06:05] is there a gui way to configure samba? [06:05] opop: Are you referring to Screens and Graphics? [06:05] sofiankr1, ok just a min [06:05] I use a partition, and I added a second mount RO. [06:05] keith, yeah, i think [06:05] keith, sounds familiar. did they move it? [06:05] NTFS-3G really needs an "errors=remount-ro" equivalent. [06:05] ldiamond: where the heck hav u gone :) [06:05] opop: That was moved to Applications->Other [06:05] Can't write? Oops, I won't let you read, either! [06:05] DanaG, if you supply it with a force option, it ignores that. [06:05] ... and all my music is randomly gone. [06:06] danaG, doesn't wubi use the windows boot loader? [06:06] ? [06:06] !ps [06:06] "Force" implies "unsafe" to me. [06:06] Factoid ps not found [06:06] keith, i'm not seeing it [06:06] bah [06:06] roxaharis: from synaptic package manager [06:06] Ive been msging you lol [06:06] wubi does use the windows bootloader [06:06] !postscript [06:06] Factoid postscript not found [06:06] bah [06:06] !ps [06:06] DanaG, it implies, "Ignore the dirty journal" to me. :d [06:06] !wubi [06:06] Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting.

[06:06] sofiankr1, you want to format it as NTFS?? [06:06] DanaG: hah! Don't worry, I force mount my ntfs partition on a daily basis [06:06] Just looked wubi up, I don't know whether to think good or bad about it. [06:06] why would the windows bootloader lock you out of an NTFS drive if you did a cold shutdown? [06:06] opop: look in System->Preferences->Main Menu, it might be hidden [06:06] DanaG, why not install it on a vfat partition [06:07] amirman84, it's the ubuntu that loads after you select it in the bootloader [06:07] DanaG: until I screwed up the ntfs partition... [06:07] it refuses to mount it. [06:07] I installed Linux on a native partition, anyway. I actually use Hardy as my primary OS. [06:07] arvind_khadri: yes [06:07] keith, i'll be durned. thanks. [06:07] sofiankr1, ok [06:07] Hey, does anyone know which channel I can visit for questions about anthropology?

[06:07] netham45: ahhhh, ok [06:08] I installed ubuntu from within windows, but I don't know how to access my windows files while in ubuntu [06:08] babolat, I sent you private messages [06:08] do any of you guys know what a pat entry is? [06:08] is it the same method as if I installed it to its own partition? [06:08] keith, remote desktop viewer....ha! they hid "report a problem..." [06:08] sofiankr1, did you try cfdisk?? [06:08] bazhang, -- hear of Xen ?? [06:08] [Hardy] My Tracker program does not generate a file ~/.local/share/tracker/tracker.log. Is this an error? [06:08] new login in a window? sick [06:08] hey, does someone want to check a dynDNS config for me? [06:08] arvind_khadri: no, but, I haven't the faintest idea how to use it [06:08] DanaG, Windows has to mount a dirty partition in much of the same way Mount does if it's dirty, too... [06:08] well, I think it does, heh. [06:09] futonrevolution, what do you need? [06:09] arvind_khadri: gparted always seemed to work... [06:09] fairly sure. [06:09] gparted works 99% of the time for me, but I have had it trash the partition table before. [06:09] r00t: go to pocky.homelinux.com and tell me what you get [06:09] sofiankr1, and arvind_khadri ... fdisk works great too [06:09] sofiankr1, very easy sudo cfdisk /drvie/where/your/ntfs/is/peresnt [06:09] oh, for NTFS? [06:09] My bad. [06:09] opop: I think some of that is influenced by Debian... not sure to what extent though [06:09] i guess i shouldn't consider myself a power user if i can't figure out how to get to the hidden menu items...it just never occurred to me they'd move the darn things. [06:09] alacarte [06:09] r00tintheb0x, not for formatting :) [06:09] opop, in nautalis? [06:09] Menu editor. [06:09] touche arvind_khadri ;) [06:10] arvind_khadri: ok, I'll try it.

[06:33] vincenzofehring: thanks, i hope that there is a way to restore all those settings [06:33] well it says access denied or something like that [06:33] Kaemon12433, -- from windows ntfs, to linux ntfs?

[06:34] Starnestommy, I thougth some like that. But how can I know it? [06:34] Kaemon12433, do you have sudo rights to do this? [06:34] Yes i do [06:34] Kaemon12433: it's no problem. happens to all of us [06:34] moDumass: proftpd will allow you to specify certain permission parameters for specific directory locations, so you could make /DISK 1/Public/ show up as the / when the user logs in via ftp [06:34] fraroco: does the same thing happen if you run AMSN again and do similar things happen to anything else? [06:34] i jus changed all permission to read and write [06:34] will that help? [06:35] Gnea im not really sure which i am using, the one that came default with the NAS [06:35] Kaemon12433: If it is a shared folder inside a secure network, I would just make it acessable to those who have accounts on the server [06:35] Kaemon12433, go to windows and try from cmd.. to see.. the place you want to PUT the file into.. [06:35] ok, fix mozilla-mplayer problem [06:35] Kaemon12433: yeah that will work, but it is over kill [06:35] Gnea also - i may answer stupidly here, not really sure what you eman [06:35] i can already view the linux files [06:35] mean [06:35] how do i install a program using terminal? [06:35] even i can view th elinux filesystem from windows [06:35] i jus cant copy stuff into it [06:35] it's said third party software packages should be installed in /usr/local, but how can one make that happen during the process of installation? Please help. You know in windows, we choose a installation path in a gui. what's the equivalent howto in linux? [06:35] Adantan_Alex: sudo apt-get install program-name [06:36] thanks buddy [06:36] moDumass: ok, i'll modify my original question then, since I may have misunderstood what you meant: does your NAS have its own IP address? [06:36] anyone know how to use firefox to open xchat irc and when clicking on an irc link to connect? [06:36] Kaemon12433: did you get the ext3fs plugin for windows? That is what I used to use when I used windows === llin-ubuntu_ is now known as llin-ubuntu [06:36] Kaemon12433, - Amazing [06:36] why amazing?

[06:37] sry [06:37] how do I request a sync from Debian? [06:37] Kaemon12433, I just installed Ubuntu, and my XP soes not recognize the new drive I put it onto [06:37] Gnea, it does [06:37] Kaemon12433: http://www.fs-driver.org/ [06:37] oh [06:37] k [06:37] desneedy: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local && make && sudo make install [06:37] Gnea, i set the mount point through fstab [06:37] don't be sorry for being a n00b kaemon12433 [06:38] Starnestommy, I have just experienced once. But I do not want to experience it again [06:38] dont worry [06:38] Running hardy, i'm getting sudo: can't open /etc/sudoers: Permission denied when trying to run sudo. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=70863 This thread pretty much covers the same sort of issues, but resolving by reinstalling isn't something I'm about to do. No entries in /var/log/auth.log about it, and a bunch of process won't start up on boot, like hal, gdm, and networking [06:38] i'll learn soon [06:38] Starnestommy, It was not funny... [06:38] thoughts? [06:38] thanks bigdaddy [06:38] fraroco: try using something other than AMSN [06:38] but this does'nt help my prob [06:38] this is a network thing [06:38] not dual boot [06:38] moDumass: okay, so the NAS filesystem is now melded with the Ubuntu filesystem via SMBFS/CIFS. Good. What IP are users using to ftp to the NAS? the NAS IP or the Ubuntu IP? [06:38] Kaemon12433: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:38] thank you. [06:38] Viddy: sounds like seriously messed-up permissions [06:38] Kaemon12433: the trick is to not go running back to windows at the first sign of trouble. It took me years to get pissed off enough at MS to leave them completely. but i did [06:39] gnea the nas ip [06:39] yeah [06:39] is there a way to find out which processes are writing data to disk? i can see that something's writing to my disk at 28kb/s and i'd liek to find out what it is [06:39] k [06:39] pabs3: the odd thing is if i su as another user on my box, and try sudo, it works [06:39] gnea but i dont ftp anymore, one of the hdds int he nas is mounted to my desktop in ubuntu [06:39] Starnestommy, I am using Mercury ... I think It is better than amsn, I lost the curiosity for this 2 years ago but I've back [06:39] brb will try to fix this problem! [06:40] Kaemon12433: I am sorry, I thought you said you coulf NOT see linux shares in windows [06:40] can bring up interfaces manually, with ifconfig [06:40] fraroco: are you using a router? [06:40] x doesn't start, obviously :) [06:40] fraroco: or any other type of firewall? [06:40] moDumass: but someone else is, so therefore you now have 2 choices as to how you want the setup to occur: you can either have them ftp directly into the NAS (probably a bad idea :) ) or they can ftp into the Ubuntu and access the NAS via SMBFS/CIFS transparently. [06:41] Starnestommy, yeah I think something about. But I am new user of routers. [06:41] can anybody tell me why ubuntu 8.04 won't let me do anything that requires sudo? i've verified the root password, and i'm typing it correctly. [06:41] i've only installed normal packages from the repositories. [06:41] BigDaddy, I am not sure, but I do not think my extra drive -which is all Linux partitions, is even recognized by my C:\ drive [06:41] cmw72: are you using your user's login password? [06:41] hmmmm [06:41] i see [06:41] cmw72: sudo requires your user password, not the root password [06:41] they are the same password [06:41] i get an invalid syntax error when i try to install music-applet: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9689/ [06:41] cmw72: you are fired. [06:41] cmw72: no, they are not. There is no root password. [06:42] fraroco: if you're behind a router or another type of firewall, that should stop a lot of breakins [06:42] there is if you log into terminal mode and do passwd [06:42] as root [06:42] failsafe [06:42] drivetrax: do you man your linux partitions are not recognized by Windows? You C:\ is just a partition as well [06:42] Starnestommy, Idid not understand tou [06:42] how much can be changed with UCK? I'm thinking of using it as I don't need 99.99% of the bloat in ubuntu :P [06:42] I'm having a problem. If I use the nvidia-glx-new (or manually install any newer one from the repos) I get blank TTYs. If I use nvidia-glx, I can use my TTYs but then if I choose logout, I get a blank screen unless I restart GDM or KDM. [06:42] HAH [06:42] can some one please help me? [06:42] it works now! [06:42] ManBlue: with what? [06:42] manblue: with? [06:42] gnea, the person who ftp,d was a friend and just put his crap in the root dir, so im trying move it, but i cant connect via ftp [06:43] Kaemon12433: it was the permissions wasn't it? [06:43] YEP [06:43] it sure was! [06:43] cmw72: i fail to see your logic. you should just type sudo , then enter your user password. that's it, root password has nothing to do with that. [06:43] thanks bigdaddy [06:43] anyone know what rsync command to use to mirror a ubuntu archive? [06:43] BigDaddy, uh.. I got a ubuntu 7.10 on a 200gb drive.. I can see localdisk c:\ but not the drive gutsy is on [06:43] my screen wont come on Starnestommy [06:43] fraroco: the router should help keep you safe from people hacking into your computer. Firewalls will do the same thing [06:43] but cifs is the way id like to go, 1 to move the crap from /disk1/ into /disk 1/public/ and also to mount /disk 2/public/ [06:43] ok [06:43] ManBlue: do any of the lights on it light up? [06:43] I am on Gutsey & my microphone doesn't work for some reason, now obviously it is not the physical microphone (have tried old one & bought a new one) so it must by my mics card, I made sure my mic is not muted & is up load. I am running a 1998 Gateway. Any help? [06:43] Kaemon12433: np, but like I said, unless you have a very secure network you need to make sure that not everyone has full read write access to that share [06:44] moDumass: can you access the share permissions via the NAS web interface for the root directory? === Trel is now known as Ketrel [06:44] k [06:44] Starnestommy, You mean I do not need another firewall? [06:44] yes, ubuntu froze on me and controlALTDelete didn't work so I hit the off button [06:44] fraroco: more firewalls tends to make things safer, but a router is usually enough [06:44] drivetrax: you can see localdisk C where? On the Gnome desktop? [06:44] noone was helping me in xubuntu [06:44] all the lights are on [06:44] its quiet in there [06:44] ManBlue: In the future, you can use the SysRq sequence, if you can remember it. [06:44] ManBlue: what happens if you wait about 5 minutes? [06:44] manblue: are you sure thats a graphics problem? [06:44] drivetrax: I understand now that the question which I put is to be answered more complex than only by defining a set of magic (file) numbers and their meanings. -- Thank you for your help.

[06:59] Gnea, - a person can upload to a directory using an eggdrop [06:59] moDumass: kewl [06:59] anyone use ezquake? [06:59] I've installed hardy on a MacBook and it's just plain SLOW and kind of buggy. [07:00] well, its a mac... they suck ;) [07:00] jk jk jk! [07:00] Like the open file dialogue on OpenOffice.org takes 20 seconds to load up [07:00] drivetrax: that's true, but it doesn't apply to this situation - thanks tho :) [07:00] If I were to change my videocard from an fx5200 to a newer nvidia card, what preparations would i have to make in Hardy? [07:00] Gary_inNYC: Get an ATI-brand card. That'll be a real upgrade. [07:01] I'm trying to make a USB hard drive that would contain Linux, Win, Dos, etc. I need a bootloader that would support all of these on a single hard drive, and that would work on any computer. Is syslinux a good choice? What should I use? [07:01] Gary_inNYC: none, just make sure the correct nvidia driver is up to date when it gets installed [07:01] lymeca|: but i heard really bad stories about ati drivers [07:01] hmmm ... where is the option to add addition applications in 8.04 ? It's not under the "Applications" menu. [07:01] or any of it's submenus [07:01] Gary_inNYC: Yes but AMD opened the hardware specifications so completely Freely licensed full 3-D drivers included in the Linux kernel are on their way. [07:01] ldiamond, SuperGrub can make the bootloader for all those [07:01] cmw72: There is Add/Remove in the main menu [07:02] hi [07:02] lymeca|: Yes, but nvidia has solid 3d drivers currently in place. [07:02] cmw72: There is also Synaptic in System -> Admin -> Synaptic [07:02] drivetrax, will it work on any computer? The problem I saw with grub is that the HD# could be different on different computers [07:02] why does "FloodBot1" and "Mez" have a star badge, who are they? [07:02] lymeca|: plus the nvidia drivers are easier to install and configure in ubuntu than the ATI ones are. [07:02] Gnea: would i have to uninstall the nvidia driver i currently use, then change the card, then let hardy pick the driver for me afterwards? [07:03] hi..... i want to install compiz in hardy. how i can install it in the terminal? [07:03] Gary_inNYC: that depends which driver you're currently using - is it legacy? [07:03] maybe i need to log out and back in again ... since i didn't have admin rights when i first logged on [07:03] when a progrom or plugin is greyed out in the adept installer, does that mean that it's installed already? [07:03] can somebody explain me two things, first which one is better ubuntu 7.10 or 8.04 Hardy, Second why everytime i download ubuntu 8.04 and i check the cd i have a checksum error? [07:03] because i don't have any of those options [07:03] ferfactor: compiz is installed by default [07:03] ldiamond, from linux.. you tell grub to install onto that HD (USB) , then go install Dos5.5, and WinXP.. [07:03] Gnea: it's the nvidia-glx-new type for my FX5200 card [07:04] cmw72: you just need to enter in your password when it asks for it [07:04] ldiamond, I think XP will need to go first, tho [07:04] Gary_inNYC: oh, you're fine then. it will plug and play with no problem. [07:04] BigDaddy thanks i'll check it [07:04] having some problems with evdev support does it work with logitech mx310? [07:04] Gnea: really? cool. so i wouldn't even have to change drivers? [07:04] i'm back [07:04] If I buy a 160GB HDD to replace the 20GB HDD I use for downloading, will ubuntu see the full 160GB disk on my old P3 500MHz proccessor? [07:04] what are the alternatives to cron? are they worth installing? [07:04] drivetrax, but what about the hard drive number? [07:04] ok i actually ran the force command... and now it jus says: "thomas@thomas-ubuntu:~$ sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /media/External/ -o force [07:04] Did not find any restart pages in $LogFile and it was not empty. [07:04] WARNING: Forced mount, reset $LogFile." [07:05] can anyone tell me the difference between ubuntu and debian? === jms1989_1ompaq is now known as jms1989_compaq [07:05] can somebody explain me two things, first which one is better ubuntu 7.10 or 8.04 Hardy, Second why everytime i download ubuntu 8.04 and i check the cd i have a checksum error? [07:05] cmw72: http://www.simplehelp.net/images/syna/synaptic01a.jpg [07:05] Gary_inNYC: nope! nvidia-glx-new is exactly that: it supports all of the NEWest nvidia cards. you might want to double check the current support list on their website compared to the actual version number that's installed just to be safe. [07:05] ldiamond, it is USB.. [07:06] so its always HD4? [07:06] that's great. thx for the info [07:06] dan: Ubuntu is based on Debian. The difference is that Ubunutu has added a ton of little touches to make our lives easier [07:06] GothicD3vil: 8.04 is the latest supported version. Which step of checking the CD is the error occurring at? (the downloaded file, the burned CD) [07:06] burned cd [07:06] I have installed Xbuntu 8.04 2 times and a screensaver keeps working, is there a screen saver other than the desktop settings one? and how do i stop it??? [07:06] Gary_inNYC: if you type this in a terminal window: dpkg -l | grep ^ii | grep nvidia-glx | awk '{print $3}' it will tell you what version you have installed [07:06] How do I get a real tek HD audio chipsety working [07:07] dan: Also, Ubuntu usually has more up to date versions of software due to the different release schedules. [07:07] GothicD3vil: so you're booting and choosing the "verify integrity" option? [07:07] I have apache2 and apache2-libphp5 (or the correct name) installed but Apache2 doesn't parse PHP files. [07:07] I don't see what's wrong. [07:07] Gary_inNYC: like 1.0.9166 [07:07] i verify the download like they said on the page but when i burned the cd they have an error [07:07] I found a howto but all it says is install those two and restart the server. [07:07] GothicD3vil: try burning at a slower speed. [07:07] BigDaddy: that's interesting ... i have different menu items [07:07] tonyyarusso yeap i verify and they said checksum error [07:07] GothicD3vil: try burning at a lower speed [07:08] i already try at 1x, 4x and maximun [07:08] ldiamond, - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=80811 [07:08] Gnea: this is what came up : 169.12+2.6.24.12-16.34 [07:08] dan: A good example would be a RC car. You can get the preassembled and then you have the kits. both are pretty much the same, but you will know that kit car inside and out [07:08] GothicD3vil: you're sure the downloaded image was correct? [07:08] cmw72: do you have Ubuntu with GNOME? [07:09] pretty sure ... default 8.04 installation [07:09] hello everybody.. im doing research for a laptop purchase.. I was wondering if anybody here bought one of the XPS M1330s preloaded with ubuntu [07:09] ale1: I haven't personally, but am considering it as a recommendation for someone else based on what I've heard. Probably either one of the Dells or System76. [07:09] tonyyarusso i verify the download with MD5 Sums [07:10] /join #bash [07:10] Gary_inNYC: yup, that's the latest version. which card are you planning to get? [07:10] GothicD3vil: bad burner?

HEEELPP [07:10] Does anyone have an answer for my question? [07:10] hello [07:10] and i was wondering how hard the driver setup would be once i did so [07:10] between the 7 or 8 series Geforce AGP... not sure depends on the pricing [07:10] is that right now im running fedora but i dont like it that much [07:11] going to check out ebay & newegg shortly [07:11] hi i need some help anyone around? === dan is now known as cognatus [07:11] fraroco: turn up the SOOUND!!! [07:11] I'm trying to install Pidgin 2.4.1 on Ubuntu 6.06 LTS [07:11] jeremy7: only 1349. [07:11] and I'm getting this error... [07:11] jeremy@osiris:~/pidgin-2.4.1$ make [07:11] make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. [07:11] jeremy@osiris:~/pidgin-2.4.1$ [07:11] fraroco: can you give some detail? [07:11] jeremy7: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:11] i'm gonna reboot and see if that helps ... brb === ale1 is now known as alexshenoy [07:11] BigDaddy, jajajajaja [07:11] jms1989_compaq, - the full 160 will be seen by Linux, but.. it also reserves space for the first sector (zero) and it depends on HOW you format the drive.. as to how much of the 160gb you get [07:12] jeremy7, is there a configure script [07:12] oops [07:12] http://paste.ubuntu.com/9690/ [07:12] !paste jeremy7 [07:12] Factoid paste jeremy7 not found [07:12] BigDaddy, ok. I do not have sound in firefox when I wanna see videos os youtube or something like this [07:12] !paste | jeremy7 [07:12] well I'm a newbie to Ubuntu [07:12] jeremy7: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [07:12] In OpenOffice.org Calc, if I have a list of values in a column and I want to say permantly perform a mathmatical operation on all of them, how would I do that? [07:12] tonyyarusso which one you have desktop edition (the one i'm having problems) or server? [07:12] I have it goin, http://paste.ubuntu.com/9690/ [07:12] It's basically got a makefile.in [07:12] GothicD3vil: I've used both. [07:12] I'm a newb to Ubuntu though. [07:12] and which one is better? [07:12] Gary_inNYC: sounds good, good luck [07:12] fraroco: did you have sound before and lost it? If this a clean installation? Which version of Firefox are you using? Which version of Ubuntu? [07:13] BHSPit: mind if I privmsg you? [07:13] gnite thanks for the info [07:13] drivetrax: I would like to format it so it wont reserve 5% of the drive to root when formatted as ext3. [07:13] Ketrel, same as in excel... You go to another cell and type =Average(F9:F15)+E6 or something like that [07:13] Pls help. If I change colums in programs (like guncash and gramps), the change is not saved after reboot (permission problem after restoring?) [07:13] it's the same package to hardy (ubuntu-restricted-extras)??? [07:13] I have a problem, I have installed Xbuntu 8.04 ... 2 times and a screensaver keeps working, is there a screen saver other than the desktop settings one? and how do i stop it??? [07:13] BigDaddy: logging out and back in seemed to do the trick. Looks like if you don't have admin rights at the start of your session, it doesnt create those menu items. [07:13] jms1989_compaq, uh.. don't know mang.. ask more [07:13] jeremy7, I really must be off to bed === cognatus is now known as sfogagbj [07:13] ah ok [07:14] thanks anyway.. [07:14] cmw72: are you the only user on that PC? [07:14] BigDaddy, Ubuntu 8.04 Firefox 3 beta 5 and I have sound before I installed Java [07:14] hello when I try installing wacom drivers using these instructions something always goes wrong [07:14] i don't recall, how do you bring up the settings for nautilis? [07:14] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=708726&page=3 [07:14] what else can I do [07:14] jeremy7: Frankly, I'm not all that confident that it's possible, judging from the fact that nobody seems to have backported it already... The dependencies are probably very interesting. [07:14] tonyyarusso which one is better? === sfogagbj is now known as cognatus [07:14] jeremy7, as general advice if you're new to compiling, try ./configure until it works with no errors, then make , then sudo make install [07:14] drivetrax: Ask more what? [07:14] GothicD3vil: Uh, that would depend on whether you plan to run a desktop or a server....... [07:14] fraroco: you installed Java and now have lost sound? What about flash? Do you have GNash or Adobe flash? [07:15] jms1989_compaq, well.. grub parts/formats.. what others will.. (That Linx can read) [07:15] adobe flash ... I have sound in the music player but not in browser [07:15] should I install the Nvidia binary x.org driver ? I have a GT8800 [07:15] jms1989_compaq, -- and, I think the mbr has to be there [07:15] Gnea, sorted, i mounted the root dir from the nas in nas200/root/ and the 2 other hdds in their respective dirs also [07:16] Only ubuntu will need to use it to download torrents. It will be used as a slave drive. [07:16] moDumass: awesome. did you get proftpd to work yet? [07:16] jms1989_compaq, then a data drive [07:16] Gnea, didnt need to, i dont know why he ftp`d it anyway [07:16] jms1989_compaq, -- ok, just do not check (Bootable) [07:16] i'm starting with ubuntu hardy i have a doubt in gusty i install ubuntu-restricted-extras, my quiestion is, Is the same package to hardy??? [07:16] i don't recall, how do you bring up the settings for nautilis? [07:17] hmm [07:17] drivetrax: Ok, How would I reduce the amount of reserved space? [07:17] moDumass: lol [07:17] fraroco quit? Right in the middle of a troubleshoot? WTH? === Ashfire is now known as Ashfire908 [07:18] ferfactor: I don't understand your question. You have a doubt about Gutsy? What's wrong with Gutsy? [07:18] jms1989_compaq, might be able to manually tell it to allot x bytes.. I would suggest reading about exactly how much [07:18] BHSPitLappy: That's not what I want to do, that's a formula. I said I want to permanantly change the contents of those cells that already exist. [07:19] BigDaddy: my question is..... Is necesary instal ubuntu-restricted-extras???? [07:19] in Hardy man [07:19] ferfactor: necessary? no. But it sure does make life in Ubuntu more enjoyable. [07:19] I'm making a raw backup on a disc using dd. the disc is damaged, is there a way to get dd to keep retrying until it finishes? [07:19] Ketrel, a formula is permanent; it's permanently correct, despite changes to the participating cells :) [07:20] Ketrel, I'm not sure exactly what you mean to do [07:20] hi, i just installed hardy from the cd, i'm an experienced linux user but have never used ubuntu on my own machine before. is there a "full boat" type of installer available, i.e. one that preinstalls all the standard unix/linux stuff so i don't have to apt-get this and that all the time? [07:20] BHSPitLappy, trying to make a column formula permanent? locking the cells? [07:20] BigDaddy: thanks a lot i'll install, in gusty i installed that packages but mi doubt was that is the same package to hardy :P [07:20] drivetrax: Thank you that you have pointed me to man file. Having it re-read, I consider now man file as the primary source to answer my question. From the recent version number 4.21 and date 8 January 2008 one can conclude that it is not a trivial matter. Unfortunately man file is written in a narrative and polemic style. So I refrained from it in the past. [07:21] yep [07:21] I noticed it was [07:21] ferfactor: I don't know if it is the exact same package. But it does the same things. [07:21] BigDaddy: thanks man :P [07:21] Ketrel, your question would probably be better addressed in #openoffice.org , since this channel is more generalized [07:21] BigDaddy, do you know how to install wacom drivers? [07:21] Ashfire908: tried testdisk? [07:21] ferfactor: np [07:22] BHSPitLappy: I have a set of cells, say with the data, 4, 8, 4, 2, 6 I want to change those cells to contain half of their original value. I have no need for it how it is and I want to basically replace those cells with 2, 4, 2, 1, 3. [07:22] ne one of a cool linux file manger [07:22] ne0: is that a tablet laptop thing? Shoot, I am just going to go ahead and say no. [07:22] drivetrex: Thanks for the help. [07:22] Ah. I don't know the answer. Like I said, you have a better shot in the openoffice channel. [07:23] Gnea, sorry, this is a dvd. [07:23] well it has something to do with the way you configure xorg [07:23] you think you know how to config it?? [07:23] forgot to define disk [07:23] billy12, theres literally dozens of file managers out for linux. It all depends on what you want' learning to use 'mc' is a good idea. Its a very handy folemanater. [07:24] Ashfire908: ouch............ lots of scratches or is it missing some film? [07:24] hey how can i add apache 1.3 to my synaptic package manager ? [07:24] it only comes with 2.0 [07:25] ne0: I wouldn't have the slightest idea how. I could google it, but without one here to tinker with I couldn't do anything [07:25] is an Intel Core 2 Duo == i386? [07:25] Gnea, scraches... [07:25] o [07:25] cognatus you can use x86-64 for ethe core 2 [07:25] man [07:25] cognatus: you can use i386 or amd64 [07:26] i386 will work dor that also. [07:26] Ashfire908: have you been able to clean the surface really god? [07:26] this sucks i wanna config this but cant do it right [07:26] i386 will work but will give you 32 bit mode [07:26] Ashfire908: er, good? [07:26] hmm i found the dvd iso but it's downloading rather slow, are there faster mirrors for it? [07:26] Dr_willis, im looking for more a of "cool" one, lots of bell's and whistles [07:26] phr: probably [07:26] phr: There have been DVDs trying to accomplish what you want. But there is no universally accepted canon on that. The Ubuntu CDs are a least common denominator. [07:26] anybody know? [07:26] okay, and it IS the case that 64b mode is better? i.e., unlike windows? [07:26] phr, the bittorrents usually move rapidly [07:26] billy12, why bother. :) search the package manager for filemanager, and start trying them out. I perfer the 2 pane tyope file managers [07:27] cognatus: yes. [07:27] i think i want to just mirror the archive [07:27] cognatus, in most cases normal users dont need 64bit stuff.. [07:27] cognatus: it's marginally faster unless you're doing lots of floating point calculations (in which case, ti's much faster) [07:27] Dr_willis, ill take a look [07:27] http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/dvd/current/ is where i'm trying to dl from, maybe i'll try the jigdo? i don't see a torrent there. [07:27] cognatus: and you have to deal with slightly less compatibility (there's still no 64bit flash, but there are workarounds) [07:27] ne0: what have you done so far? [07:28] Gnea, it's.... clean... [07:28] hmm, also this appears to be a daily build, not a release [07:28] I installed shockwave before install ubuntu-restricted-extras..... now i have a big problem in charge some pages in internet... hoy i can delate shockwave? [07:28] well i had to reboot all over because i did something wrong and my comp get going to login screen everytime i opened evolution and used firefox Find option [07:28] jigdo is not in the base distro... [07:29] so so far i just installed wireless and sound [07:29] Ashfire908: only other thing i can suggest is make sure that the laser on your dvd reader is clean... otherwise, you're going to have some missing data if it's giving you sector errors [07:29] Gnea, it's getting a bit farther/shorter each try so i think i can just read it by retrying the block over and over... [07:29] ne0: did you check this out: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=25151 [07:29] o yea and lightscribe [07:29] oh well, thanks [07:29] koo havent seen this one [07:29] ill try it [07:29] Ashfire908: well good luck with that, hopefully the disk doesn't have any cracks in it [07:29] I keep getting only 640x480 and 320x240 resolutions available when I install nvidia-glx-new... any help here? [07:29] hopefully i dont mess things up thanks... [07:30] I have installed ubuntu on a dell laptop, it has worked fine for months, still does. Bought a KVM. Windows switches fine, ubuntu will switch key and mouse, but I cannot seem to get the external monitor working. Dell laptop running ubuntu. Any ideal? [07:30] er, ideas? [07:30] hey do you know if there is a plugin for xchat so i can change color of users or mine when i type [07:30] Yossarian: which KVM? [07:30] Gnea, well i just need dd to keep retrying, know how to do that? [07:30] I cannot get the external monitor working with - or without - the KVM [07:31] Ashfire908: write a script? not sure how to go about that for that sort of application :/ [07:31] Gnea: iogear - it is not the issue. I cannot get the 2nd monitor working in linux [07:31] ne0: go to settings, interface, colors [07:31] anyone know what is up with nvidia-glx-new? [07:31] but that doesnt change collor of individual users [07:32] Has anyone an idea why changed colums in programs like gramps and gnucash will not be saved (dont show up after reboot) Has this to with some permissions (where to change) [07:32] Does anyone know how to make dd keep retrying bad sectors/bytes? [07:32] Yossarian: it might be. i have an iogear and the only way that it will work right is if i bootup my ubuntu system with the iogear pointed to the ubuntu system from the moment i press the power button. [07:32] you can select to highlight certain users [07:32] Yossarian: once it's up, it works fine. [07:32] are "FloodBot1" and "Mez" moderators? [07:32] hello. I'm having a bit of an issue with compiz. Namely, ubuntu won't let me use it. I'm really not sure what do do from there. I just want to be able to use videocard acceleration for videos. Also, my top panel won't go all the way to the edge since I upped the resolution. Any ideas? [07:32] I cant get he external monitor to wrok even without kvm - so I have to troubleshoot that first [07:33] Yossarian: sounds like a bunk video card then [07:33] Ugh, I can't figure out why apache2 won't parse PHP. [07:33] Yossarian: does the external monitor work in windows does the display seem to switch between build in display and external? ? [07:33] I have the modules installed. [07:33] Yossarian: might want to take it out and clean out the AGP slot [07:33] drivetrax: Thank you for your help on file types in Ubuntu. [07:33] PeterFA ------------>#apache [07:33] Gnea, if he/she doesn't know how to do that the point is useless. [07:33] can someone pls send me ur /etc/profile file, if u are using an ubuntu hardy and u have not changed it? [07:33] PeterFA: did you remember to run "sudo a2enmod php5" then restart apache? [07:34] am running 7.1 - do you think up grade my help? YES the monitor works fine when I boot into windows, can mirror it, or extend to it. Very nicely I might add. [07:34] Gnea, sorry, that's not the best way to say that. [07:34] Hi, i have a question, i installed shockwave before ubuntu-restricted-extras.... now i can use well navigate in some pages.... i heared that i have to uninstall shockwave.... but i don't know how i can uninstall this package!!! [07:34] Starnestommy, no. [07:34] ne0: I don't know much about IRC or xchat. I just use it to come to this channel. [07:34] [Hardy] My Tracker program does not generate a file ~/.local/share/tracker/tracker.log. Is this an error? [07:34] PeterFA: your criticism has been noted. and ignored. [07:34] Starnestommy, it was already enabled. [07:34] heh [07:34] bullgard4, do u use hardy? [07:34] np thanks anyways [07:34] brb [07:34] sriramoman: Yes, I do. [07:34] Gnea, I am sorry that that wasn't the most respectful way of saying it. I didn't mean it in a disrespectful manner. [07:35] have u changed ur /etc/profile before? pls say "no" if u ve not heard of it [07:35] I have been hesitant to upgrade to 8 - it the install difficult? [07:35] er, no [07:35] Starnestommy, apache2 always transmits the unparsed php file. [07:35] bullgard4, have u changed ur /etc/profile before? pls say "no" if u ve not heard of it [07:35] PeterFA: no problem, but i have done tech support and work in IT - sometimes the best way to find out if someone can do something is to suggest something and if they need help with it, point them in the right direction [07:36] ah [07:36] so what's on this dvd image? is it a more complete package set than the cd? [07:36] sriramoman: no. [07:36] sriramoman: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9697/ [07:36] Yossarian, You been on undernet? [07:36] arrrgh [07:37] Hi, i have a question, i installed shockwave before ubuntu-restricted-extras.... now i can use well navigate in some pages.... i heared that i have to uninstall shockwave.... but i don't know how i can uninstall this package!!! [07:37] Starnestommy, thank u. hope everything is default and unchanged? [07:37] sriramoman: I have never even heard of that file until just now [07:37] ok. thank u, anyway. [07:38] actually, I;ve heard of it but never looked at or modified it [07:38] does gnome have anything similar to k9copy? [07:39] can anyone help me with a problem [07:39] I'm trying to install Pidgin 2.4.1 [07:39] is there ns2 package in Ubuntu? [07:39] and I get a make error [07:39] jeremy7: which make error? [07:39] ok, how about this: Is it possible to run KDE programs in gnome? [07:39] ariqs: it is [07:39] can anyone tell me how to setup my sound card i have a bluegears high def card and i dont even know how to make my music play [07:39] is it difficult, starnestommy? [07:39] ariqs: Yes [07:39] ariqs: you just need to install the kde libraries they depend on [07:39] Starnestommy: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9690/ [07:39] ariqs: not t all [07:40] *at [07:40] ok, thanks [07:40] jeremy7: run ./configure [07:40] ariqs: apt will take care of them if you use it to install the desired program [07:40] I did that [07:40] ariqs, I run kopete in Gnome. [07:40] ariqs, gnome and kde both run nicely with each other. :) [07:40] graphics card help anyone? [07:40] hey [07:40] Starnestommy, mind if I message you? [07:40] Kubuntu has all those libs. [07:40] are the hardy CDs finalized? [07:40] jeremy7: are there any steps in the readme or install files that you missed? [07:40] I run konversation :o) [07:40] I run amarok [07:40] !hardy | Clusty [07:40] Clusty: Hardy Heron is the codename for the current release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS) You can get it now from http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu but please use !torrents [07:40] Clusty, its officially released - so i think so. :) [07:40] well I did tar and then I went to it and did ./configure [07:41] and I got all the libpurple files and what not [07:41] and I look in the folder and it has makefile.in [07:41] !torrents [07:41] Hardy can be torrented from http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ubuntu-8.04-desktop-i386.iso.torrent or http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ubuntu-8.04-server-amd64.iso.torrent depending on your architecture. Torrents for other Ubuntu flavours can be found at: http://releases.ubuntu.com/ (CD) or http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases (DVD). [07:41] nickrud: well not totally true. kubuntu site sais CD image is not final [07:41] qman__: me too amarok rules [07:41] jeremy7: not running Hardy? [07:41] Starnestommy, I'm still seeing PHP5 files unparsed. [07:42] jeremy7 if you have makefile.in but not makefile, you haven't completed the configure correctly (unless the build is broken) [07:42] i need sound card help [07:42] Clusty trust me, not the site on this one ;) [07:42] Clusty argh, kubuntu. Missed that [07:42] :D [07:42] i wanna try kubuntu or xubuntu [07:42] Clusty bait and switch, from first question to next ;) [07:43] gnome is getting on my nerves [07:43] had a question, i cant seem to get evdev support working in ezquake was wondering if anyone else had a problem with this? [07:43] slow fat [07:43] is there anyone out there [07:43] can anyone hear me [07:43] ah, Pink Floyd [07:43] and doing too many things on its own [07:43] Clusty sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop , and you're done [07:43] yeah i need soundcard help [07:43] !ask | twistedbeatfreek [07:43] Y-Town, yeah, there's just no other player anywhere near as good, it just fills the niche [07:44] nickrud: done that. somehow kde stopped running. [07:44] I don't care for KDE, but amarok is simply the best player out [07:44] drivetrax: pink floyd: where what? :D [07:44] Clusty then #kubuntu probably has the help you need for kde [07:44] "is there anybody out there.." [07:44] qman__: tried listen? [07:44] astro76 do you know how i setup a sound card i can configure my hardware or anything [07:44] why can't I hear sound on online videos and listen to music at the same time? [07:45] Jambon, because you touch yourself at night [07:45] hey there [07:45] twistedbeatfreek: no, but the bot was supposed to tell you to go ahead and ask your question to the channel ;) [07:45] oh no [07:45] Clusty, no, I haven't, I'll look into it [07:45] listen/banshee [07:45] how i can delate shockwave to firefox??? [07:45] marko-_-: well naturally, but besides that [07:45] and there was one more [07:45] please answer me [07:45] astro76 im hella newb on ubuntu pls help are the commands i type or something [07:46] does anyone have an idea why package ca-certificates (to be installed through updates) can not be authenticated? [07:46] why is it when i copy ofver data from my external drive the system bogs down really bad? [07:47] i need to setup my audio card its bluegears b-enspirer where do i go and how do i install it [07:47] how do I tell if I'm running x86 64 or x86 32 [07:47] Benni authentication is done at the repo level, do you have a third party source set up somewhere? [07:47] BigDaddy: do you know haw uninstall shockwave from firefox??? [07:47] heythisisdave: uname -a [07:47] heythisisdave: uname -m [07:47] it says i686 [07:47] ferfactor: shockwave isn't even available for linux. Can you provide more details as to what you are doing? [07:47] ok i'm downloading the dvd iso by bittorrent and it's arriving faster than the standard download [07:47] nickrud good point -- I'll disable the 3rd party sources and retry [07:47] Gnea: nice one [07:48] heythisisdave: that's 32bit [07:48] ferfactor: I would assume that it would be done in the add-ons section. [07:48] astro76: cheers [07:48] heythisisdave: probably 32 then [07:48] er [07:48] ferfactor: Tools -> add-ons [07:48] ok - I have a xeon l5335 or something [07:48] astro76: right back atcha ;) [07:48] but I guess they're completely backwards compat with x86 32 [07:48] i tried modifying the /etc/profile file, but it executes only when i login thru bash or any command line. for a similar use, where can i place my scripts so that they get executed even while logging in thru X system(Gnome/kde)? [07:48] jrib, --- uh.. want to see FlashPlayer_9 for Linux? [07:48] BigDaddy: thanks i'll wheck it... [07:48] drivetrax: flashplayer is not shockwave [07:48] heythisisdave: it is, I'm still running 32 bit on core 2 duo [07:48] heythisisdave: yes, you can setup a 32-bit compatibility layer once it's installed [07:49] * Gnea just hands it over to astro76 [07:49] lol [07:49] let's see a link for Shockwave support.. took me to FlashPlayer_9 [07:49] Gnea: hey they're good answers, just possibly to the wrong questions ;) [07:49] sriramoman: X, gnome, and kde don't read that file [07:49] :) [07:49] drivetrax: hmm? [07:50] would anyone have an idea as to why my radeon mobility 9200 worked in gusty but won't in hardy? [07:50] drivetrax: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/alternates/ [07:50] http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash [07:50] drivetrax, you can clearly see there is no shockwave for linux [07:50] Starnestommy, so where can i place my scripts for similar purpose, that is, execution at login of any user [07:50] go there [07:50] brent113, it is there. add/remove [07:50] Adobe has a link for Linux [07:50] sriramoman: /etc/rc.local [07:51] !shockwave | drivetrax [07:51] Shockwave Player != Flash Player [07:51] No Kidding [07:51] sriramoman: tried /etc/rc2.d/rc.local? [07:51] Starnestommy, but will this run each and every time any user logs in thru any method? that is what i wanted. [07:51] i shall try these [07:51] sriramoman: it runs on startup [07:52] all, question for the room, PowerPC, PowerMac, why can I install every other distro on my PowerMac, but Ubuntu drops me to an (initramfs) prompt [07:52] Starnestommy, startup or login? i need LOGIN. thats y [07:52] I have googled, forumed, researched, nothing works [07:52] and it seriously is only Ubuntu [07:53] MakGyver, the last version which was supported ,and which will never be in future, is ubuntu 6.06 lts [07:53] sriramoman, why? [07:53] !ppc | MakGyver [07:53] MakGyver: PowerPC. Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ [07:53] what does lts stand for? [07:53] there are ISO downloads for 7.10 [07:53] thinkingfrog: Long Term Support [07:53] Starnestommy: thank you [07:53] MakGyver, its their policy. [07:54] sriramoman, well that sucks :( [07:54] guess I am not using Ubuntu then [07:54] how do i uninstall shockwave flash from firefox? [07:54] whats the next best option to Ubuntu? [07:54] MakGyver: there's still a community port (see above) [07:54] ljsoftnet depends on how you installed flash [07:54] i installed it using firefox [07:55] Whats with all the people wanting to uninstall shockwave tonight? [07:55] Starnestommy, ere4si, the locations u said dont serve my purpose. [07:55] ljsoftnet then it should be in ~/.mozilla/plugins, you can delete it from there [07:56] jrib, gettinh 8.04, lets see if this plays nice [07:56] ? [07:56] if I instaal 6.06 can I upgrade my updating? [07:56] my/by [07:56] BigDaddy, -- I think they are getting shockwave for FFox, and forgetting.. it isn't for linux? [07:56] nickrud how do i go there? [07:56] sriramoman: /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc and /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc will work on all X logins [07:56] mebe.. trying to fix flash_Player_9 [07:56] sriramoman: but not terminal ones [07:56] ok [07:57] MakGyver, I think you can go directly to 8.04 form 6.06. But only on i386 and amd64. Not ppc and spacr [07:57] ljsoftnet open a file browser, and hit ctl-h , that will show you the hidden files. [07:57] shockwave=flash. [07:57] sparc [07:57] no problem. i can paste the same scripts. i shall try. [07:57] sriramoman, Debian installs beautifully [07:57] sriramoman: and /etc/X11/Xsession.d/ [07:57] sriramoman: er, /etc/X11/Xsession [07:57] anyone know anything about getting nvidia-glx-new to work? [07:57] Ok, so I just installed 8.04, and I got it to boot up, and install 2 updates.... then I installed one of the restricted drivers for my video card, and when i go to reboot the computer, it just goes to a black screen instead of the logon screen. Any advice anyone? [07:58] Starnestommy, what is the diff. b/w session, xserverrc, xinitrc? [07:58] I can't seem to get any other resolutions than 640x480 and 320x240 [07:58] damntourists, - what video card? === slaytani1 is now known as slaytanic [07:58] Starnestommy, ( imean the 3 files u mentioned) [07:58] drivetrax: ah shoot, hold on. I think it's an ATI Radeon x1950, but let me double check [07:58] eh [07:59] sriramoman: xserverrc is always run when an xserver starts. xinitrc is for when xinit is launched. I think it might be safer ti add scripts to /etc/X11/Xsession.d though [07:59] where can i download smp 686 kernel [07:59] MakGyver, the most recent ver. of debian is not newer than ubuntu 6.06 LTS thats y [07:59] does anyone know if envy works for hardy? I'm at my wits end here [07:59] ok. [07:59] sriramoman, ok [07:59] drivetrax: my mistake... shockwave is not flash [07:59] I know [07:59] CyberCod: envyng is in the repository [07:59] drivetrax: so where do people need shockwave/ [07:59] oh yeah? [07:59] ? [07:59] nice [08:00] drivetrax: yeah, ATI Radeon x1950 Pro [08:00] Can anyone shed some light on how one might set a static IP under KDE 4 on Hardy? I'm completely lost. [08:00] Starnestommy, but will it run only once when gdm/xdm is called or it will run each time a user logs in, even repeatedly, thru X in a session before rebooting? what i need is the repeated type. [08:00] is there am ftp site for ubuntu [08:00] damntourists, go to ATI site, and find what cards the 8.4 driver supports [08:01] sriramoman: each time an X server is started [08:01] drivetrax: ok, hold on. [08:01] damntourists, --- wait [08:01] ok [08:01] nickrud there is no ~/.mozilla/plugins folder i found [08:01] ubuntu comes with firefox 3.0 beta, should i downgrade? i can't install prefbar in the beta and i might die without it ;) [08:01] drivetrax: what's up [08:01] damntourists, ----- some ppl with ATI are having difficulty with Restricted drivers enabled [08:01] phr: you can install the firefox-2 package, they can both coexist [08:01] jim_beam, [08:01] if [ `id -g` == "1000" ] [08:01] then [08:01] echo "one user logged in">>/home/family/users; [08:01] fi [08:01] sriramoman: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:01] astro76 thanks, maybe i'll do that [08:01] sorry. i pasted something wrong [08:01] drivetrax: any way i can disable it, without having to reinstall ubuntu? [08:02] damntourists, except you can't get into the desktop [08:02] jim_beam, ftp://tuma.ui.edu/pub/ [08:02] drivetrax: yeah, but i'm sure i can get to a full screen terminal, no? [08:02] jim_beam, there u can EVEN DOWNLOAD entire repos for ubuntu incld hardy. [08:02] damntourists, - now yer on to it [08:03] damntourists, a round about way.. is xorg.conf.. in /etc [08:03] uh /etc/X11/xorg.conf [08:03] it looks like there's ways to rsync the repos i just haven't figured out how [08:03] ljsoftnet phone brb [08:03] drivetrax: yeah, i know, but how do i get to a full screen terminal? last time i just had to press shift and backspace or something similar [08:03] nickrud ok [08:04] damntourists, ctrl-alt-f1, f2, f3, etc. [08:04] opop: thanks, i'll give it a shot [08:04] looks like ui's ubuntu repository directory is empty [08:04] did anyone get libpam-encfs to work on hardy? [08:05] opop: nothing [08:05] damntourists, --- fglrx might not even work.. but the generic system drivers will let you run Compiz [08:05] drivetrax: ok, i just need to find a way to get to the terminal lol [08:08] i'm starting up in recovery mode. my screen is completely black before it gets to the login screen, it must be the restricted drivers (fglrx)... but I'm not sure which setting to chose... resume, root, or xfix [08:08] hello a [08:08] ll [08:08] and by the way, i'm not that linux savy [08:09] alguem on ? [08:09] this is test [08:09] who is on line [08:09] 1300 people, none with an answer [08:10] i got to my /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and i'm looking at section "Device" and i see Driver is loading "fglrx" [08:11] anyone know of the procedure being used as to implementing the updates from the proposed repo to main? [08:11] Try vesa instead of fg, sorta a backup driver [08:11] weelll, I am nodding off. Good night all. Good luck [08:11] Nini [08:12] meh. i'll continue this when i get back from my gf's house. bbl === FrozenFire__ is now known as FrozenFire [08:14] damntourists, --- got that far, good go [08:14] <[1]Netham45> anyone know a good RDP client? [08:14] <[1]Netham45> rdesktop doesn't seem to work for me === [1]Netham45 is now known as Netham45 [08:14] nevermind.. found an official page explaning the update proces [08:14] damntourists, - also see #compiz-Fusion [08:15] I don't use rdp so I can't say for sure but maybe try gnome-rdp or tsclient [08:17] gnome-rdp just throws errors [08:17] when starting the app or when connecting [08:17] when starting [08:17] well, [08:17] i [08:17] it doesn;t throw errors [08:18] it doesn't do anything either [08:18] as in it doesn't start? [08:18] Netham45: apps > internet > terminal server client (tsclient) comes installed by default and is an RDP client [08:19] what is the comands to instal bithcx in the terminal?? [08:19] sudo apt-get install bitchx [08:19] ferfactor, sudo aptitude install bitchx [08:19] a> can anyone tell me why i cant have a static ip on xubuntu 8.04 ? it keeps on changing to roaming mode and even stranger , it adds another eth , i only have one nic but since i have rebooted twice i now find miself with eth2 !! any ideas ? [08:19] thanks men [08:19] any ideas on why booting with apci=off would kill network connection? [08:20] what lines od I need in /etc/ssh/sshd_config to allow logging in via ssh keys? (it's not working for me, this is ubuntu 7.04 server -- how do I begin the debugging process? is there a ssh log somewhere?) [08:20] thatsnotjack: your networking adaptor might need acpi to work [08:20] wuxia: "RSAAuthentication yes" and "PubkeyAuthentication yes" [08:21] hmm, running apci causes kapcid and kapcid_notify (kernel processes, of course) to run away at 98% cpu combined [08:21] Starnestommy: RSAAuthentication yes [08:21] PubkeyAuthentication yes [08:21] AuthorizedKeysFile .ssh/authorized_keys [08:21] <[DR]TNT_Boom> i dont have enough RAM to start the installer. could swap partition help? [08:21] yes [08:21] <[DR]TNT_Boom> how can i make a swap partition [08:21] provided u have at least 256M ram [08:21] <[DR]TNT_Boom> without deleting anything [08:22] anyone up ? [08:22] u cant do that [08:22] <[DR]TNT_Boom> i do have 256M [08:22] wuxia: you have a proper $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys file on the server right [08:22] benanzo: it's just a copy of id_rsa2.pub [08:22] [DR]TNT_Boom: you could also use the alternate install cd [08:22] <[DR]TNT_Boom> without a live cd [08:22] and a matching $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa on the client [08:22] benanzo: yep [08:22] req for the alternate is only 128mb I believe, you might want to try that [08:22] benanzo: I can even ssh into another machine using the key [08:22] oh, sorry astro76 [08:22] unetbootin.. install it [08:22] [DR]TNT_Boom, use the alternate cd you can install for low memory [08:22] <[DR]TNT_Boom> but will it install the desktop ver? [08:23] thatsnotjack: no need to apologize ;) [08:23] <[DR]TNT_Boom> GNOME [08:23] [DR]TNT_Boom: the install will be exactly the same [08:23] [DR]TNT_Boom, u are asking how to install something without the thing [08:23] and your sshing to the corrent user [08:23] !alternate | [DR]TNT_Boom [08:23] [DR]TNT_Boom: The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate checkbox on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal - Torrent at http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ubuntu-8.04-alternate-i386.iso.torrent === woodwizzle is now known as MrDowntempo [08:23] correct* [08:23] eh, I got one 256 stick.. [08:23] I just copy people then pretend I'm being helpful ;) [08:23] unetbootin installed 7.10 [08:23] <[DR]TNT_Boom> THANKS ALOT!!!!! [08:23] [DR]TNT_Boom, yeah it will [08:24] <[DR]TNT_Boom> thanks [08:24] How can I enable my shortcut keys when my visual effects set Normal? [08:24] so does anyone really know why kapcid and kapcid_notify like to run on so much cpu? The bug reports are unresolved it appears [08:25] <[DR]TNT_Boom> Check here if you need the alternate desktop CD. This CD does not include the Live CD, instead it uses a text-based installer.? [08:25] <[DR]TNT_Boom> thats the option i need? [08:25] ubuntu is the bomb diggity [08:25] [DR]TNT_Boom, yeah [08:25] <[DR]TNT_Boom> thanks [08:25] [DR]TNT_Boom, if all you want is to be able to install ubuntu, yes === woodwizzle is now known as MrDowntempo [08:26] <[DR]TNT_Boom> yeah thats what i want [08:26] [DR]TNT_Boom, some people use the live CD as a portable desktop or a rescue system, and the alternate CD does not come as a good replacement [08:26] unop: he's unable to install with livecd due to 256 MB ram [08:26] <[DR]TNT_Boom> i have a damn small linux on a usb stick [08:26] unop, he has a low memory system [08:27] hi recently upgraded to 8.04 and my RT61 seems to be unstable. [08:27] <[DR]TNT_Boom> btw will it run ok with only 256M ? [08:27] astro76, arvind_khadri you aren't puttting into context what i am saying. [08:27] yeah boom, that should be plenty [08:27] [DR]TNT_Boom, damn small linux the whole size itsel is 50 mb and ram requirements are even less [08:27] I'm having graphics issues. I have a radeon mobility 9200 which worked with gutsy but doesn't with hardy. Now my top panel won't go all the way to the right edge, and movie player won't show video unless I drag the window past that point. Also, compiz won't work. Any ideas? [08:27] <[DR]TNT_Boom> yea but thats only for rescue [08:27] <[DR]TNT_Boom> its on a USB stick [08:27] [DR]TNT_Boom, in that case i have installed alpha-linux in a floppy. [08:28] <[DR]TNT_Boom> really? [08:28] <[DR]TNT_Boom> lmao. [08:28] Hey could I ask a non ubuntu related question [08:28] Jinxed-, ask [08:28] !offtopic | Jinxed- [08:28] Jinxed-: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [08:28] Jinxed-, it probably ought to be asked in #ubuntu-offtopic or ##linux. [08:28] Jambon, do you have the drivers [08:29] <[DR]TNT_Boom> btw the alternet CD has the option to find the ISO and load it? [08:29] arvind_khadri: which ones. ati's don't work with this card [08:29] Jambon, use envy [08:29] I need to pick out a mp3 player for my girlfriends 21st birthday and I can't decide.... top contenders: 16gb refurb ipod touch, refurb/new ipod nano, sansa e280. [08:30] is id_rsa.keystore private or public? [08:30] how do I disable passowrd login for ssh? (I only want to allow ssh key) [08:30] Jinxed-, that is well offtopic :) #ubuntu-offtopic please :) [08:30] ok unop [08:31] Jambon, sudo apt-get install envy-gtk [08:32] I installed the openssh server on hardy, and it doesn't appear to be working. I ran netstat -listen and it shows ssh but using tcp6. I didn't sign on for ipv6, what the hell, and how do I turn it back to IPv4 ot 5 or whatever [08:32] speaking of mp3 player, i still can't mount any USB drive or mp3 player in hardy [08:32] <[DR]TNT_Boom> how much swap par` is good enough? [08:32] MrDowntempo: on linux, if you listen on ipv6, you listen on ipv4 too by default [08:32] [DR]TNT_Boom, twice the size of ram [08:32] <[DR]TNT_Boom> thanks [08:32] question: im running hardy 32bit, can i install hardy 64amd and get thesame settigns like an upgrade or do i need to reinstall in a different partition? thanks [08:33] <[DR]TNT_Boom> thats means 500 for me [08:33] Hi... i'd like to downgrade from Hardy to Gusty... i have a separate /home. What is the best way to do this? [08:33] sjoerd: oh ok, well for some other reason then its not working [08:33] <[DR]TNT_Boom> but bigger is better isnt it =) [08:33] krazty: you'll need to reinstall [08:33] arvind_khadri: so after I install them? [08:33] thanks astro [08:34] Jambon, open envy from the Application menu under the system tools download your driver and it works :) [08:34] chazco: reinstall [08:34] chazco: you can choose not to format /home [08:34] nite [08:34] astro76 - So just format the other partitions and install over it? Anything in /home going to conflict? [08:35] why does my music skip a lot [08:35] arvind_khadri: ah, thought it was in preferences or something. Thanks. [08:35] it didnt do this in windows... [08:35] Jambon, :) no [08:35] chazco: it's possible... you'll probably be fine [08:35] arvind_khadri: oh [08:35] hi. would somebody be able to help me out? i'm dualbooting hardy and windows XP, but xp won't load, it says "error 22. No such partition" when i try to boot xp. i can link my grub files if needed. [08:35] arvind_khadri: my card isn't supported by the legacy driver it says [08:35] HI ALL - I am about to remove a lot of bans [08:35] Jambon, ok which card [08:36] THERE will be some serious scrolling for a moment or two - please bear with us [08:36] ati mobility 9200 [08:37] mkdir ~/.azureus;cd ~/.azureus;wget http://cache2.vuze.com/files/Azureus_3_0_linux.tar.bz2;tar xvjf ~/*;~/.azureus/azureus/azureus [08:37] that is it finished [08:37] cheers [08:37] <[DR]TNT_Boom> wtf was that...? [08:37] arvind_khadri: ati mobility 9200 [08:38] [DR]TNT_Boom, we ban people - mostly we do let them back at some time [08:38] <[DR]TNT_Boom> ompaul is spamming the CH [08:38] <[DR]TNT_Boom> =) [08:38] <[DR]TNT_Boom> why would you ban someone? [08:38] Jambon, just a min [08:38] for being offtopic abusive or very annoying [08:38] <[DR]TNT_Boom> ppl come to ask for help and getting annoying? why [08:38] mkdir ~/.azureus; cd ~/.azureus;wget http://cache2.vuze.com/files/Azureus_3_0_linux.tar.bz2; tar xvjf ~/*; ~/.azureus/azureus/azureus [08:39] [DR]TNT_Boom, the bot sent you a message - that is some of it [08:39] Jambon, I have that same card on a laptop. Its a bitch and a half. I have yet to get 3D support for it working. It was working way back in the day though, breezy I think? [08:39] hi, all. im trying to switch from kubuntu to ubuntu (e.g. install ubuntu-desktop then, from gnome, purge kubuntu-desktop so i dont have a zillion apps), and im trying to upgrade to 8.04. which order would be better, dist-upgrade first or kubu->ubu switch first? [08:39] <[DR]TNT_Boom> oh [08:39] [DR]TNT_Boom, they start using foul language, getting personal, spamming the channel, etc [08:39] dylan_: remove kubuntu first so you have less to download and upgrade [08:39] MrDowntempo: it worked on gutsy [08:39] <[DR]TNT_Boom> thats sucks [08:39] !puregnome | dylan_ [08:39] dylan_: If you want to remove all !KDE packages and have a default !Ubuntu system follow the instructions here << http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome >> [08:40] MrDowntempo: well, kinda. [08:40] Jambon: Well it works but not with 3d accel? [08:40] dylan_, remove all the packages you don't want, and then attempt the upgrade -- otherwise your upgrade will take much longer. [08:40] dylan_, 7.10 will Upgrade to 8.04 [08:40] um, well it could do the fancy compiz stuff but not video acceleration [08:40] still had to boot into windows for that [08:40] ok [08:41] envy installed something [08:41] I'm going to check if it worked [08:41] you can run vesa if you have to, "radeon" should give you full resolution, I couldn't get 3d accel even in gutsy though [08:41] thanks again arvind_khadri [08:41] Jambon, after the install restart X and see [08:41] If I encrypt a file using Hardy, which now has built in encryption support via seahorse and nautilus I presume, and i send that encrypted file to a friend, how can they decrypt it? What program do they need, in addition to the password I mean. [08:41] <[DR]TNT_Boom> radeon is supported under ubuntu? [08:41] mobility radeon 9200 can actually mean multiple chips, we may have different hardware [08:41] ty unop. ty all, though everyone else told me things i already knew :) [08:42] have a good night/morning/afternoon [08:42] dylan_, and purging kubuntu-desktop has little effect on the system, you need to remove all the KDE/QT packages manually [08:42] unop: understood, thank you [08:42] ArthurArchnix: they need GnuPG, aka gpg [08:42] I have been running Ubuntu for a few releases now. Only have one reoccuring problem. Occasionally my mouse will just freeze. I can use the keyboard and everything stays active just my mouse freezes and I have to reboot in order to get it working again. Is there anyway to restart the mouse from terminal? [08:43] <[DR]TNT_Boom> mouse driver is wrong? oO [08:43] I have 64 bit xp pro installed on a machine that i'd like to dual boot with ubuntu. can someone point me to a really good guide for my first time trying to set up dual boot ? [08:43] has mouse freeze & Keyboard freeze.. so Must reboot.. at times [08:44] !dualboot | biabia [08:44] biabia: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MacBookPro https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [08:44] biabia, find out about unetbootin [08:44] astro76: I'm on the website now. That's what I was looking for. Thanks. [08:44] <[DR]TNT_Boom> why ppl needs dual boot? [08:44] <[DR]TNT_Boom> its stupid [08:44] <[DR]TNT_Boom> choose what you wanna have and use it [08:44] ArthurArchnix, the best way to do this is to use gpg with your mail client .. what you essentially do is encrypt the file using the other person's public key, the only person in the world then able to decrypt the file is that person, using his private key ... but this requires he use pgp/gpg too [08:44] [DR]TNT_Boom, what if they have Windows and Ubuntu [08:44] there are windows apps.. and there are linux apps.. [08:45] [DR]TNT_Boom: some people need it for work [08:45] ArthurArchnix, another way is to use something like openssl to encrypt the file using a passphrase, but the other person needs to have openssl installed too [08:45] its like having a snowmobile and a 4 wheeler [08:45] eh [08:45] <[DR]TNT_Boom> Hmmmm thats could be true. [08:45] but this is getting offtopic [08:45] sometimes the conditions are better for one than the other [08:45] unop, well, when I right-click on the file and choose encrypt... how is that different from openssl [08:46] what is a good photo management tool? I was using f-spot but it cannot handle duplicates :( [08:46] TNT_Boom what do you mean wrong mouse driver? [08:46] <[DR]TNT_Boom> which is a good graphic IRC client for linux? [08:46] is eog still around? [08:46] ArthurArchnix, i'm not really sure what that does, i don't use gnome .. i'd imagine it used openssl, but i can't be sure [08:46] xchat [DR]TNT_Boom [08:46] !info eog [08:46] eog: Eye of GNOME graphics viewer program. In component main, is optional. Version 2.22.1-0ubuntu2 (hardy), package size 1111 kB, installed size 5976 kB [08:46] [DR]TNT_Boom, xchat [08:46] <[DR]TNT_Boom> im just guessing maxwell888 [08:46] so im back. i tried adding to my xorg.conf but it didnt save due permissions. here: http://pastebin.ca/1005777. my monitor is a neovo f-15. i have a nvidia 5500. ubuntu 8.04. pm me due ultra tiny resolution :) [08:46] im trying to set up a file server, however when i try to edit my fstab it just opens in the terminal, and if i try to open it in the file browser i cant save [08:46] ArthurArchnix, are you prompted for a password/passphrase when you choose that option? [08:46] unop: ok [08:47] <[DR]TNT_Boom> xchat [08:47] <[DR]TNT_Boom> thanks alto [08:47] <[DR]TNT_Boom> alot* [08:47] <[DR]TNT_Boom> i should get some stuff on my usb =) [08:47] wabkia: gksudo gedit /etc/fstab [08:47] astro76 and drivetrax thanks! [08:47] thanks astro [08:47] sure [08:47] unop: Hmm... no I'm prompted for a recipient, but the list is empty. [08:48] Jambon, worked?? [08:48] ok. as is usual, I've made things a lot worse [08:48] ArthurArchnix: you'll need to add their public keys to your keyring I guess [08:48] Jambon, resolution got screwed?? [08:48] woah astro, it says Error Cannot find a safe socket path in /tmp aborting.... [08:48] etf [08:48] now it won't recognize my monitor so I can't up the resolution [08:48] ArthurArchnix, hrrm, not sure then, you need to get someone who knows gnome to help you out there. [08:48] anyone running GG-Client (Garena) under ubuntu with wine? [08:48] arvind_khadri: ya basically [08:49] ok, so my video card isn't working, so i booted up into recovery mode and im in a full screen terminal. how would one go back to the default driver, instead of the restricted driver, "fglrx" that i installed? i'm looking through my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file right now, and it says under the Device section, Driver "fglrx" [08:49] astro76: unop Clearly I need to look into this more. [08:49] Jambon, did you have restricted drivers [08:49] unop: astro76 thanks though [08:49] Jambon, --- go to /etc/X11 and find xorg.conf and pastebin.ca [08:49] ArthurArchnix, maybe the documentation on gnome.org helps? [08:49] arvind_khadri: x kinda did the whole "please pick the driver because the one you picked doesn't work" thing [08:49] ArthurArchnix: it takes a bit to wrap your head around it ;) [08:49] wifi [08:50] Jambon, if you had restricted drivers first remove them and re-install using envy [08:50] Jambon, that an ATI card? [08:50] drivetrax, yeah ati mobility 9200 [08:50] hoss you have a wifi issue [08:50] ArthurArchnix: but Seahorse makes it pretty simple if you want to avoid learning gpg command line... still need the concepts though [08:50] 4 ppl in hours.. back to back [08:51] drivetrax, same card ?? [08:51] ati [08:51] drivers [08:51] how does one reverse the effects of restricted video card drivers through the terminal? i can't get to my login screen since i installed the restricted drivers [08:51] Astro76: When try that command it says "** ERROR **: Cannot find a safe socket path in '/tmp' [08:51] aborting.." [08:51] arvind_khadri: Jambon: the proprietary ATI driver will _not_ work on that card [08:51] you must use the open source "ati" driver [08:51] How do I install a .tar.gz from terminal? Always use Synaptic, never needed to know this yet [08:51] crdlb, oh ok how do we get that?? [08:51] Hey crdlb [08:51] timandtom: what package [08:52] arvind_khadri: it's what's used by default [08:52] crdlb: I know ati's won't work. I was just trying envy. It seemed to try the fgrlix or whatever ones [08:52] crdlb, seems it wasnt working [08:52] bazhang: It's Avast antivirus, it's not in synaptic, so I downloaded it. Tis sitting on my desktop [08:52] Jambon: that _is ATI's driver [08:52] Jambon: oh [08:52] crdlb: oh [08:52] timandtom: hang on a sec [08:52] crdlb, thanks for the info .... [08:53] hi, anyone know how to get USB drive auto mount on hardy? [08:53] When try that gedit /etc/fstab it says "** ERROR **: Cannot find a safe socket path in '/tmp' [08:53] Jambon: bah, the fix was really easy :< [08:53] werther, it gets auto mounted when you plugin [08:53] how do you disable outbound connections using ufw? [08:53] timandtom: this is gutsy or hardy [08:53] so i installed a restricted driver for my ati radeon x1950, and now i can't get to the login screen, any tips? [08:53] Jambon: ubuntu just has a really broad blacklist on compiz which covers your video card, but it's easy to override [08:53] why does my ssh server not work? [08:53] bazhang: Gutzy [08:54] bazhang: Gutsy* [08:54] arvind_khadri: http://pastebin.com/daa57793 [08:54] i installed it and started it [08:54] but I cannot log in from another device [08:54] hey, i am running an asus motherboard with hardy and i am wondering if there is a program that i can control fanspeed with (to reduce noise when its running cool) [08:54] crdlb: what do you recommend from where I am now? I'm stuck at 800x600 and unable to detect my monitor now [08:54] so i installed a restricted driver for my ati radeon x1950, and now i can't get to the login screen, any tips? [08:55] Jambon, gksu displayconfig-gtk [08:55] http://howtoforge.com/virus-protection-with-avast-on-ubuntu-gutsy-gibbon timandtom look here better to install from the deb package than that tar.gz [08:55] Jambon: first thing is to get rid of fglrx [08:55] Jambon: sudo apt-get --purge remove xorg-driver-fglrx [08:55] Jambon, follow the crdlb way he knows better [08:56] Jambon: then in case it left some stuff broken: sudo apt-get --reinstall install libgl1-mesa-glx [08:56] Jambon, the way I got it to work was to install the fglrx driver. Then modprobe for it so that the module gets loaded, then use radeon in my xorg.conf [08:56] damntourists, ----- follow along what crdlb is doing, but don't do it.. [08:56] MrDowntempo: crdlb knows better on this [08:56] bazhang: Ah, sweet, thanks. Is it better just because it's simpler, or is there some advantage? Just wondering [08:56] timandtom: all of the above :} [08:56] drivetrax: thanks [08:57] crdlb: E: Couldn't find package libgl1-mesa-gl [08:57] cuz.. it might help ya [08:57] Jambon: you missed the final x [08:57] crdlb: sorry, misse the last part [08:57] bazhang: Haha :) Ok, thanks. I'll try that. [08:57] crdlb: so after that? [08:57] i even get ** ERROR **: Cannot find a safe socket path in '/tmp' [08:57] aborting... when i type in gedit [08:58] ugh [08:58] bazhang: look, this mobility radeon 9200 has caused me many sleepless nights of pain and torture, I'm imparting the fix I know. Also never before have I been told to offer less help so thats a first you can be proud of [08:58] Jambon: just change to the "ati" driver. You can use displayconfig-gtk, or you can edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf in a text editor [08:58] wabkia, you could try this although it's not really recommended. sudo gedit /etc/fstab [08:58] is antivirus software recommended for linux? [08:58] ariqs: no [08:58] im already superuser [08:58] !virus | ariqs [08:58] ariqs: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [08:58] MrDowntempo: he knows the cards backwards and forwards [08:59] and i still get the ** ERROR **: Cannot find a safe socket path in '/tmp' [08:59] aborting... [08:59] bazhang: Also, if I'm controlling the computer from VNC, it won't affect my ability to do things in terminal, right? Doesn't make sense that it would, but, thought I'd check. [08:59] i dont get it >< [08:59] wabkia, how did you become superuser? sudo -i ? [08:59] su [08:59] i think i may have fixed it [08:59] timandtom: you are correct [08:59] timandtom: should not no [08:59] bazhang: I'm not doubting anyones uberness. But I too know that chip and thought it would be helpful to mention [08:59] wabkia, heh, no wonder .. su does not setup the X environment like gksu/gksudo - which is why you get that [09:00] oh [09:00] wabkia, use nano then. nano /etc/fstab [09:00] i got wacom working yay [09:00] MrDowntempo: this is not about uber; I saw an error in what you were saying and pointed it out. [09:00] yo [09:00] now how do i calibrate it anyone know [09:00] don't know [09:00] omg thx unop :D [09:00] crdlb: um. which one? there seem to be several, and it sticks me with fgrlx again and messes up x when I test it [09:01] oh, ok [09:01] heres a good one [09:01] i cant log in as sudo -i [09:01] oh sweet. my computer works again. haha [09:01] magnetron, bazhang, cool, just checkin :) Tiny little file server for me/friends, not hooked up to a display, so I do everything that can't be done through the server software via VNC on it. [09:01] bazhang: what error? [09:01] anyone running GG-Client (Garena) under ubuntu with wine? [09:01] wabkia, and what happens when you try sudo -i? any errors? [09:01] MrDowntempo: please let it go [09:01] no [09:01] it just tells me my password is wrong =\ [09:01] Jambon: ok, lets do it the manual way; open your xorg.conf with: gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [09:01] same then when i try to log in as root [09:01] lastlog bullgard4 [09:02] anybody know a good program for controlling fanspeed/monitoring cpu temp [09:02] damntourists, - copy xorg.conf - as backup [09:02] note that the X in X11 must be capitalized [09:02] wabkia, that's a side effect of enabling the root account [09:02] drivetrax: yeah i wish i did that before the restricted drivers [09:02] bazhang: you pointed out no error. If you did maybe It could help my issue with the same chip. [09:02] enabling or not enabling [09:02] drivetrax..can you please briefly explain how dual booting differs from UNetbootin ? [09:02] crdlb: got that far [09:03] wabkia, enabling .. in ubuntu it is not recommended you do that .. [09:03] !root | wabkia [09:03] wabkia: 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 [09:03] Jambon: do you see Section "Device" ? [09:03] yup [09:03] !sudo | wabkia [09:03] wabkia: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. [09:03] biabia -- the booting does not differ much.. the steps differ a bit... but, unetbootin does all from the net(internet) to your pc.. [09:03] i dall i did was install >< [09:03] Jambon: so add a line that says Driver "ati" in that section, or change the current one if it already exists [09:04] wabkia, su wouldn't work normally if that was the case :) [09:04] ok so uh [09:04] all i did was install ubuntu haha. i didnt enable anything =\ [09:04] crdlb: ok. should it recognize my card. it just says "configured video device" under identifier [09:04] <[DR]TNT_Boom> login in witha root passwont give you "superuser" abilitis? [09:04] <[DR]TNT_Boom> ability [09:05] drivetrax: so I would have to be internet connected to use it? [09:05] wabkia, somewhere along the line you enabled the root account.. for now i suggest you finish what needs to be done as root .. then disable the root account using. passwd -l root [09:05] Jambon: yeah, that's just a label used for matching Device sections with Screen sections [09:05] [DR]TNT_Boom: bad idea to login as root [09:05] [Hardy] My Tracker program does not generate a file ~/.local/share/tracker/tracker.log. Is this an error? [09:05] <[DR]TNT_Boom> why? [09:05] biabia - suppose you have XP.. and some space at the end of the drive.. after the install/and all.. is done, you reboot.. first time, and you see a screen..it asks you which OS you want to use [09:05] [DR]TNT_Boom, use sudo instead [09:05] Jambon: it doesn't actually have any meaning (but don't change it unless you change it in both places) [09:05] <[DR]TNT_Boom> sudo and if i need it every 3 seccs? [09:05] <[DR]TNT_Boom> its annoying. [09:05] crdlb: ok. now restart x? [09:05] <[DR]TNT_Boom> why is it a bad idea anyway? [09:06] !sudo | [DR]TNT_Boom [09:06] [DR]TNT_Boom: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. [09:06] sudo caches ythe password for a few mins. You dont need to enter the password over and over and over. [09:06] [DR]TNT_Boom: why would you need it so often [09:06] [DR]TNT_Boom, use. sudo -i to get a root shell [09:06] [DR]TNT_Boom, or sudo -s [09:06] Jambon: reboot [09:06] depending on what you want. [09:06] k [09:06] so that it uses the right kernel module [09:06] brb [09:06] <[DR]TNT_Boom> thats good enough =) root shell [09:06] what's the default graphics card driver used for 8.04? [09:07] . [09:07] damntourists, depends on what video card you got. [09:07] damntourists, it depends on the graphics card :) [09:07] ok, one last Q, how do you save in nano [09:07] when i go to System>Preferences>About Me it shows a blank window, how do i fix this? [09:07] drivetrax: so I can select any of the supported distributions in UNetbootin? how does it manage the data for the /home folder? [09:07] wabkia, the ^ in the help at the bottom is saying use 'contrl-WHATEVER' so ctrl-o or ctrl-w or ctrl-h [09:07] is there an ubuntu dvd that has the server and desktop versions of ubuntu & kubuntu all on one DVD? [09:07] Hi, I have 3 keyboard layputs, I made switching option alt+shift, but after restart this switching option is not working, only when I'm removing 2 additional layouts, and then adding them, it is beginning to work, why it could be? [09:08] m55, not that i have ever seen [09:08] biabia, -- well... like any.. you make partitions, and format them, and tell it to make the directories [09:08] unop well i have a ATI Radeon x1950, and it worked fine up until i chose to use the restricted driver [09:08] m55 : you have that on alternate CD [09:08] <[DR]TNT_Boom> how much RAM ubuntu 7.10 needs for the LiveCD? [09:08] damntourists, the default failsafe for ati would be the 'ati' driver or the 'vesa' driver [09:08] ok, let me try using that [09:09] drivetrax: thanks! [09:09] [DR]TNT_Boom: how much ram you ogt === guja_nebeska is now known as guj4_n3b3sk4 [09:09] zvacet: so it has kubuntu & ubuntu with server and desktop options? [09:09] Hello! I need some alternative SQL server, same as MSSQL, but on linux.. any ideas? [09:09] <[DR]TNT_Boom> 256M [09:09] biabia - familiar with Linux? if not, Look into "Grub" [09:09] Hi! I want to map Ctrl+Backspace to backward-kill-word in gnome-terminal.. I've read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToReadline and found that the solution given for Konsole doesn't work in gnome-terminal.. does anybody know how can I do this?

[09:13] damntourists, ati driver wont have full 3d support. and will be slower then fglrx most likely [09:13] matic: you can use mount, can't you?

[09:20] crdlb, --- well i have a catalyst menu item on my start menu [09:20] Matic`Makovec: http://www.acetoneiso.netsons.org/index.php is this it? [09:20] i have a problem. My system crashes when i play games which uses multichannel audio. I have a soundblaster pcmcia Zs qhich seems have a conflict with IRQ. please help!!! === hopsNpot is now known as DrinkBeer [09:20] Jambon: well, gnome-panel helpfully resized everything to fit in 640x480 [09:20] bennyf11: This isn't AOL, please use real words ;) Out of curiosity, what Compaq? I Have issues too, had to downgrade. [09:20] Jambon: so if I understand you correctly, just move the applets to the right [09:21] Compaq is a brand of prebuilt computers [09:21] crdlb: I have one of those mobility radeon 9200s as well. This may not be applicable to Jambon, but for me to be able to use the chip at all I must first modprobe the fglrx driver. I don't know why, there must be some initilzation code that the fglrx driver has that the free driver doesn't. I use the radeon driver in my xorg.conf because the fglrx driver doesn't support that chipset any longer. This is on a vaio s260 [09:21] zvacet, I wish I'd know [09:21] hey, I'm getting this error trying to install the pork IM client, http://paste.ubuntu.com/9701/ [09:21] MrDownTempo Did you try installing drivers with envyNG? [09:21] anyone have any ideas on what's going on? [09:21] anyone running GG-Client (Garena) under ubuntu with wine? [09:21] or envy if you r on gutsy or older [09:21] No, not really legend2440. It just simply ran the .bin file...I don't know :x [09:21] I've set up a server on Ubuntu with XAMPP, and people can now connect via FTP to my server, but how do I limit their access? At the moment, they all go to /opt/lampp/htdocs; I want to allow, say, `ictl` to access /opt/lampp/htdocs/ictl [09:21] I mean am I missing something.. again the link to my error is http://paste.ubuntu.com/9701/ - to anyone with a solution to fix this I will paypal you $50 [09:21] Thanks for trying anyway...I guess I'll just have to mount ut [09:21] it [09:22] Matic`Makovec If you remember you can PM me on Ubuntu forum [09:22] DrinkBeer, I meant like, which model of Compaq :) My nx6310 had issues as well. [09:22] DrinkBeer: Yeah, but no dice. The new drivers don't support the chipset anymore and the older drivers that do require an older kernel [09:22] brb [09:22] crdlb: the top panel stays the same pixel length as it was before I bumped up resolution. It refuses to stretch the whole way across the top. [09:22] o lol [09:22] i could use $50... hmm [09:22] MrDowntempo, -- I could not get the ati 8.4 driver to work on a 9600series card [09:22] MrDowntempo: hmm, that's interesting, but I have a feeling that's not Jambon's problem since it worked in gutsy [09:22] I got the driver working with a 9800 series [09:22] Matic`Makovec : not exact name but you kbow [09:22] but thats about it [09:22] You kinda have to trick it [09:22] install the restricted and then use envy [09:22] why i dunno but it killed all the bugs i had [09:23] zvacet, I don't have a closes idea unfortunately :x [09:23] [Hardy] My Tracker produces 23 'file-index-tmp' files. See http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/210635. Is this normal or an error? [09:23] drivetrax: you want to switch back to the radeon driver? [09:23] Matic`Makovec : sorry [09:23] Hi.. got an error installing PORK IM CLIENT on Ubuntu 6.06 LTS... I am getting this error.. to anyone who can help resolve this error I will paypal you $50... error paste: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9701/ [09:23] So a long time ago, the gnome clock used to show my appointments from evolution in it. I upgraded gnome some time back (when I upgraded from fiesty to gutsy IIRC, or maybe the one before that) and the appointments disappeared. [09:23] I've been hoping that'd be fixed eventually, but it's not. Does anyone know how I might go about reconfiguring my environment so this feature returns? :-) [09:23] I want to create md5 sums for all files within directory I was trying to do something like md5sum `find` but this gives me problems because some of the files contain space in their name so md5sum treats them as two files which gives error.. how do I make it right? [09:23] crdlb, well, I was used to the windows catalyst, but no.. I do not need to switch back.. Just remove the dead menu item [09:24] Jambon: I have no idea what that problem is then. Have you tried moving it to the left side of the screen, then back to the top? [09:24] tag it might be an evolution setting since evo is tied to gnome [09:24] the update might have overwrote the files [09:24] DrinkBeer: yeah I've dug around forever and never found it. [09:24] Jambon, right click that panel [09:24] What's the /home/USERNAME/.thumbnails/normal folder for? Also, is there a way to make it STOP storing thumbnails for everything ever in there? Aside from the obvious paranoia and not wanting traces of everything, it slows Avast ;P [09:24] drivetrax: oh, just use the menu editor then? [09:24] Jambon, size it [09:24] if you updated they very well might still be there, but blank [09:24] crdlb: Yeah, prolly not since I hadn't had 3d accel working since way back in breezy or dapper days. [09:24] crdlb, I can't find out how to remove it [09:24] DrinkBeer: it seems to be something deeper. I've also dug around gconf -- but never found them [09:24] like updateing windows and not backing up your system32 folder [09:24] crdlb: yup. moving it over and creating a new one doesn't work either, as the new one won't stretch across either [09:24] DrinkBeer: I'd assume this would be a user level thing, but I'm unsure. [09:25] Hi, I have 3 keyboard layputs, I made switching option alt+shift, but after restart this switching option is not working, only when I'm removing 2 additional layouts, and then adding them, it is beginning to work, why it could be? [09:25] actually [09:25] i doubt it tag, i think it is one of those reasons why NO software should be tied to an OS [09:25] I'm highly confident this would be user level [09:25] Jambon: try killing the gnome-panel process so that it respawns [09:25] DrinkBeer: gnome is not tied to the OS. [09:25] i know [09:25] drivetrax: use alacarte [09:25] DrinkBeer: and evolution is not tied to the for that matter, either. [09:25] k [09:25] but evolution is tied to gnome, if you rock linux with gnome gui u are tied to it in a daisy chain fashion so to speak [09:26] actually in ubuntu they are close knit for some reason [09:26] crdlb: nope. same thing [09:26] when i go to System>Preferences>About Me it shows a blank window, how do i fix this? [09:26] like outlook and explorer [09:26] atleast that is everything i have read and experiencend [09:26] sorry for the speeling 1 beer to many [09:27] DrinkBeer: that's just configuration -- and it's all user level. [09:27] Jambon: it is set to stretch mode? [09:27] DrinkBeer: it's just, there is a big user-level template that gets added. [09:27] it can be user level to upgrade u r root [09:27] crdlb: yup [09:27] [Hardy] My Tracker produces 23 'file-index-tmp' files. See http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/210635. Is this normal or an error? [09:27] "expand" as the panel calls it [09:27] yup [09:27] I'm fairly certain if i create a new user it iwll work as desired. [09:27] i dunno, i am a little lost right now lol....sorry but that is all i can think of. i had that prob and said fuck it i am using sunbird [09:27] Is there any "easy" way to make internet sharing in Dapper Drake? [09:28] DrinkBeer: sunbird doesn't work with exchange [09:28] i know [09:28] I use Firestarter in 7.04 [09:28] Jambon: well, I'm stumped; I do know how to fix compiz though :> [09:28] i dont use exchange so that is prob where i got lost [09:28] but there are no Firestarter in 6.06 [09:28] hi [09:28] Assargadon, if i recall the 'ip-masquerading howto' it proberly is a simple case of setting a few variables/loading a few iptables rules, and away it goes' [09:28] ljsoftnet: in terminal run gnome-about-me . any error msgs? [09:28] crdlb: that will work. [09:29] crdlb: the only thing the panel was doing was limit the maximization size of windows and making videos blank unless I dragged them past it [09:29] hi , simple question ..how to allow user to create directories everywhere by shell ? [09:29] i just installed hardy and my disk i/o speed is really terrible, 7 mb/sec. could it have not enabled dma or something like that? how do i tell? [09:29] crdlb: which gets annoying, but i can live with it for now. [09:29] I just wanted to watch LOST in HD, that's all [09:30] legend2440 theres no error msgs? [09:30] and not boot into windows to do so [09:30] Hello, I'm new to ubuntu 8.04 or to any other distribution... can someone tell me how I can run adept manager with root priveleges? [09:30] !sudo | Tigerken [09:30] Tigerken: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. [09:30] reboot your comp and see if it sayd DMA enabled after it POSTs [09:30] ty dr willis :) [09:30] Tigerken, you really want to use kdesudo, or some other graphicalsudo variant for X apps. [09:31] so I need to use kdesudo instead of sudo? [09:31] Tigerken :kdesu [09:31] Dr_willis thanks, I overlook it, despite the fact something as easy as Firestarter is much better in therms of simplicity ;) [09:31] i don't really get to see those messages, it just shows the ubuntu graphic [09:31] kdesu [09:31] i'm looking in dmesg [09:31] ok, thnx :) [09:31] I'll give it a try [09:32] crdlb: so as far as compiz goes... [09:32] Jambon: join #compiz-fusion for a second please [09:32] is anyone else having problems with hardy playing videos? other than flash based? [09:32] i see a bunch of dmesg that looks like dma should work [09:33] DrinkBeer, not really. [09:33] turns out I'm wrong [09:33] Dr: not with all video just well most [09:33] interesting [09:33] [ 18.818614] Driver 'sd' needs updating - please use bus_type methods [09:33] [ 18.818655] sd 2:0:0:0: [sda] 312581808 512-byte hardware sectors (160042 MB) [09:33] hmm is that for hard disk? [09:33] flash plays fine but no audio, mpeg n avi dont play worth a damn but have audio [09:33] new user, new evo setup, still no goddamn calendar in my clock [09:33] i installed the libmpeg and etc. wtf can it be [09:33] it worked perfect in gutsy [09:34] What's the /home/USERNAME/.thumbnails/normal folder for? Also, is there a way to make it STOP storing thumbnails for everything ever in there? Aside from the obvious paranoia and not wanting traces of everything, it slows Avast ;P [09:34] Dr_willis, how do I start adept-manager with kdesudo or sudo? [09:34] Tiger [09:34] I read the website [09:35] yes? [09:35] U want it to load on startup or just load [09:35] i hear a click once a minute or so. is that the critical bug that destroys hard drives after a few months? [09:35] Tigerken, kdesudo COMMANDTORUN [09:35] phr - true [09:35] I just want to open adept manager right now :) [09:35] it is the sound of death same is true for psu's [09:35] lol [09:35] hi, anyone knows how to list installed packages not available on the repositories ? [09:35] i never had heard that click with fedora [09:36] sudo apt-get "CMD" [09:36] hi, anyone can help me with mount USB drive on hardy? [09:36] is there maybe a list with euhm... available commands to run? :p [09:36] Tiger google "bash commands" or "linux command line commands" [09:36] crdlb, - i do not presently have alacarte [09:36] ok [09:36] ty for ur help [09:36] fausto: in Synaptic if you click Origin, they will be listed under Local, IIRC [09:36] Can anyone help me getting an ssh server running? [09:36] that is what this community is based on [09:37] :) [09:37] DrinkBeer: What would cause a PSU to get a "click of death"? [09:37] hello [09:37] Tim - the fan starting to die [09:37] astro76: there is an option for apt-get or aptitude ? [09:37] I used to be able to just install and it'd be good to go. But I can't login to the openssh server on my hardy desktop [09:37] once the fan goes that is like some having a heart attack in their 90;'s [09:37] i got a script for calibrating stylus but how do i install it or use it [09:37] they will live but not for long [09:37] even if you replace "the ticker" [09:38] fausto: well apt-cache policy packagename will tell you the origin of a package, not sure how to do it for everything [09:38] DrinkBeer: Ah, makes sense, I just didn't expect a fan to really click, kind of just wind down :) Tis what happened to my external fan for my 360 at least [09:38] timandtom, the fact that most SMPS are cheap rubbish [09:38] that actually is a big prob with 360 right now [09:38] almost borderline recall status [09:38] astro76: thanks [09:39] i have a bunch of jpg in several folders, what wild card do i use to move all the pictures in the many folders into 1 [09:39] well shit people i need to take a shower i will brb [09:39] DrinkBeer: Yeh, huge failure rate. Got the elite when it came out, got an intercooler the same day. Replaced that one a coupla weeks back [09:39] yeah [09:39] ?? [09:39] alot of people who bought it when it came out are having issues [09:39] well BRB all [09:40] hey, can somebody tell me a normal cpu temperature (p4) [09:40] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi-support/+bug/59695 [09:40] Launchpad bug 59695 in suse "High frequency of load/unload cycles on some hard disks may shorten lifetime" [Unknown,In progress] [09:40] if you using amd 29-45c mikefizz [09:41] its a p4 [09:41] jaffarkelshac, I dont think theres one 'wildcard' that will do that. You could use the find command and make a little script to do it. [09:41] What's the /home/USERNAME/.thumbnails/normal folder for? Are there any other folders like that that store stuff even after the main file has been deleted? [09:41] i thought there was, thank you Dr_willis [09:41] I hate my video settings! [09:41] wooooooooo [09:41] the ambient temperature is around 60F and its reading 54f and im not sure if the sensor is messed up or if its just cooled down [09:42] my nvidia 6800GT is about 58 degrees celsius when i'm in ordinary Gnome. is this much? [09:42] jaffarkelshac, wildcards get expanede by the shell.. so somthing like cp */*/*/foo dont make a lot of sence in many cases [09:42] its nothing to really worry about [09:42] how do i issue a download/wget from an ssh connection, then it should continue after i close that ssh session? [09:42] mikefizz: Your sure thats 54F and and C or K? Haven't been paying attention, but that seems like it could be it ;) [09:42] !screen | onats [09:42] onats: screen is a terminal multiplexer. See http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2004/3/9/16838/14935 and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Screen [09:42] magnetron that isn't terrible [09:43] not great, but is acceptable [09:43] timandtom, thats what i thought, cause when i tell it to read in celcius it gives me 15 degrees [09:43] my 8800GTS is running at 49C [09:43] hi, i updated ubuntu and now non of the flash movies in firefox or any other browser have sound. what could be causing this? [09:43] none* [09:43] and i thought they must have made a mistake with their conversion factor [09:43] TheBigNoob: how can i improve it? is there any settings i could "lower" to reduce the heat produced? [09:44] Are you running beryl? [09:44] or compiz? [09:44] TheBigNoob: no. [09:44] magnetron: have you overclock anything on your computer? [09:44] TheBigNoob: someone said lowering the bpp to 16 instead of 24 would help. nothing is overclocked [09:45] mikefizz: Huh, weird. I have no idea. Sensors probably just borked. If nothings going wrong, I wouldn't worry though :) See if anyone you know has a good infrared thermometer or something and check if you want too though. [09:45] ttt--: try closing any music players--completely quitting them [09:45] bazhang: i've rebooted a lot already, doesnt help [09:45] magnetron: I think you will be fine with those temps, you don't plan on running any 3d environments do you? [09:45] Hello! Is there any way of connecting Nokia 5300 to my computer? [09:45] timandtom, yeah im probably just gunna let it do its thing. i just moved some stuff around inside the box and wanted to make sure i didnt melt anything [09:45] ttt--: try switching to alsa also [09:45] bazhang, what's alsa? [09:46] TheBigNoob: i plan to run games, but my computer crashes often when i do. [09:46] i`ve got problem with google earth [09:46] i`ve started it [09:46] timandtom, i was also trying to get the fans to slow down because they are soooo loud, i moved my hard drive into the bottom of the box with some dampeners and that helped but the fans are the worst [09:46] ttt--: check in sound preferences and change from autodetect to alsa [09:46] mikefizz, as long as it seems like it's getting good airflow, and everythings working like normal, I wouldn't worry :) But, like I said, ask a coupla people if they have a thermometer handy [09:46] but don`t work [09:46] magnetron: trying seeing if you have fresh thermal paste/adequate cooling flow through your computer [09:46] bazhang: it's already set to alsa [09:47] ttt--: quit firefox and open a music player and try to play an mp3 [09:47] normal sounds plays [09:47] Does anyone have a reason why I can't get my refresh rate to change from 85Hz no matter what I do, It's stuck here === de3de is now known as Bo_Rn [09:47] I have a firegl v3100 driver problem in Hardy. EnvyNG has failed me. Are there any other options? [09:47] IM using the new nvidia drivers and nvidia-settings [09:47] Daonix: does your nokia have bluetooth? that's usually the easiest solution. you could also try the Gnome Phone Manager (in applications > add /remove) [09:48] mikefizz: For the fans, the best bet would just be to replace them with quieter ones. I know there are some little washer type things you can get that help dampen fans though, and I've heard of people cutting the grill off the case to get better airflow, so they can slow the fans more, but thats a bit extreme likely [09:48] ttt--: now completely quit the music player (not set to tray but quit altogether) then open firefox, clear the cache, and then restart firefox [09:48] Daonix: Wammu could also be something [09:48] oh wait! i had it on alsa mixer, not pcm alsa [09:48] magnetron: how long have you been using ubuntu? [09:48] TheBigNoob: ok, i should check the installation of the fan. it's custom installed by my little brother :D [09:48] it works now! thanks a lot bazhang [09:49] TheBigNoob: 3 years [09:49] magnetron: thats probably your culprit [09:49] bazhang, -- I think, I am should have Alacarte in my accessory menu, but it is not there, and I cannot find it in Add/Remove [09:49] magnetron: I have an old 6800GT in my server and It never breaks 40C [09:49] help [09:50] mikefizz: Really though, does sound matter very much? I had an old Pentium 2, the fans in it sounded like an airplane taking off. And oh god, the CD drive was horrible. Think annoying dial up sounds, but the whole time it slowly opens and slowly closes :P [09:50] magnetron you have any Ideas about my refresh rate problem? [09:50] ttt--: but it is a short term fix; next time you try and play both it will happen again--it is a bug, so be aware you can only listen to one source at a time [09:50] i want to ask something about overlay problems with ati redeon hd2400 whith compiz === ka2u is now known as ka2zzzz [09:50] TheBigNoob: sorry, i didn't see your question.

[09:54] Is there some simple way to have 7.10 run "avast" in terminal ever so often? [09:54] FloodBot1 : what`s your name [09:54] TheBigNoob: you have to add info to your xorg.conf about your monitor. you cannot simply choose a refresh rate, as this would be different with different resolutions. you need to add two values in the xorg.conf, the horizontal and vertical sync. these can usually be found in your monitor manual [09:54] FloodBot1 : where are you from [09:55] ttt--: it may be this: http://markusthielmann.com/blog/defusing_one_most_annoying_bugs_ubuntu_hardy_heron_stop_flash_killing_firefox [09:55] FloodBot1 : what are you doing here [09:55] loller: please stop [09:55] guys hardy is not detecting my memory stick( from cam) which was alright on 7 10 and workinf fine on windows, can any one help s [09:55] thanks bazhang, i'll check it out [09:55] dark, try also #compiz-fusion [09:56] timandtom: yes. it's called "cron".

[10:00] timandtom: yes. right click the desktop and choose "create launcher". avast will only scan for windows viruses, though, since there are no know linux viruses :D [10:01] How do move directories by command line? [10:01] ive upgraded on 3 other machines and it was fine.. only this comp is messed up now [10:01] [Hardy] My Tracker produces 23 'file-index-tmp' files. See http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/210635. Is this normal or an error? [10:01] Saint`Dia: mv [10:01] Saint`Dia: mv dir target [10:01] It'll move files. But not directories. [10:01] DrinkBeer, gmplayer and vlc can play most streams here. I guessit depends on whats doing the streaming. === Raviou2 is now known as Ravious [10:02] VLC wont play any video files [10:02] they will play but like i said before about a fpm [10:02] instead of fps [10:02] (totem:6851): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: gst_object_unref: assertion `object != NULL' failed [10:02] DrinkBeer, that sounds more like a video card/driver issue [10:02] Raviou2:i have 2 cards/ 3 monitors [10:02] magnetron, Ah, k, thanks :) And I know about that. Tis a small file server for me and a few friends, I just don't want to be the reason my Windows using friends get infected. [10:03] well it is an ATI [10:03] but streaming and downloaded flash content play flawless [10:03] ushimitsudoki: Could i beg to see your conf? lol [10:03] DrinkBeer, my x200m playes about anything i toss at it. using the ati, driver. fglrx works on it also now. [10:03] Saint`Dia: yes it will. [10:03] magnetron: ATI drivers enabled :) [10:04] Hey [10:04] Gnea: Well, it did it, but not like I wanted it to. Ohh well, job done. [10:04] fglrx like i said plays everything else fine, even UT2k4 under wine [10:04] just no mpeg related video files or avi files [10:04] Ravious: sure. i have a couple: 1 is all 3 screens as one big Xinerama, the other is 2 as TwinView and 1 separate. This is for nvidia drivers [10:04] timandtom: you should look into clamav, i think it can schedule itself easily [10:04] DrinkBeer, very weird. run the players from a terminal, look for error messages [10:05] no errors just no video [10:05] it flashs the video every like 10-20 secs or so [10:05] ushimitsudoki: That would be great.. I've been about ready to pull my hair out for days now.. [10:05] if not at all and that is with an ogg [10:05] it plays streaming flash video and that is it [10:05] DrinkBeer: you cant play videos after upgrading to hardy? [10:05] pretty much [10:05] nope [10:06] i cant either [10:06] magnetron, Ok, I'll check into it, thanks. [10:06] gutsy no problem [10:06] DrinkBeer, flash has nothing to do with the other video players. :) [10:06] install ubuntu-restricted-extras [10:06] is there another mirror hosting --> ubuntu-8.04-desktop-powerpc.iso [10:06] in hardy i cant play shit unless it is flash based format [10:06] i know [10:06] I always get "Cannot determine ethernet address for proxy ARP " when trying start up my connection via PPPoE. Is there a way to fix this? [10:06] i am saying that is all that will play [10:06] the one its on now keeps timing out and disconnecting me [10:06] DrinkBeer: did you make sure all of the codecs were updated as well? [10:06] yeah [10:06] DrinkBeer: what about glxgears? [10:06] yup [10:06] DrinkBeer: can you play mp3s? [10:06] flawless [10:06] i cant [10:06] DrinkBeer: and mplayer or xine? [10:06] every format plays except video [10:07] magnetron, Wait, I looked at it earlier... It doesn't have a GUI does it? I think that's why I chose to just use Avast, haha :) More familiar with it. And then it turns it's SUPER easy to use in terminal too. [10:07] i can play videos with vlc but no sound [10:07] second question, is there a way to to a "net" install if I mount the ISO on my local LAN? [10:07] all players can play audio, vlc, amarok, rhythmbox, the video players cant do anything but play the audio [10:07] Ravious: http://pastebin.com/d168e9be (This is the two monitors on the same card as TwinView, and the right most monitor on a separate card and X screen.) [10:07] DrinkBeer, that so sounds like a codec issue . [10:08] i am thinking so [10:08] timandtom: there's a separate gui for it. search for "clamav" in applications > add/remove and it will show up [10:08] DrinkBeer, tried gmplayer yet? compile a list of what players do what. i guess [10:08] but i just wonder if anyone else has had any issues [10:08] DrinkBeer: http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=956475 it just started to work for someone with the same issue [10:08] i have some ideas on what to do its just 2am here lol [10:08] coo [10:08] There was a problem initializing Catalyst Control Center Linux Edition (Hardy) it could be caused by the following: No ATI gfx driver installed or not functioning properly; please install the appropriate driver or configure using aticonfig. um what2do? [10:08] i have yet to upgrade to hardy, so.. [10:08] Will somebody please look at -->http://paste.ubuntu.com/9708/ because i keep getting disconnected from the Internet, and perhaps ***Cannot determine ethernet address for proxy ARP*** has somethin' to do with it... [10:08] 2am? its 11am here :) [10:08] Ravious: http://pastebin.com/d1f67d777 (This is all 3 monitors on both cards as one big Xinerame. Performance is crap and compiz won't work under this config) [10:09] magnetron: Oh, ok, sweet! Thanks :) Anyways, sleeptiemz, thanks again for the help. I'll check into that tomorrow! [10:09] that article is kinda what i was thinking to do next [10:09] like i said i would rather ask then break an install lol :) [10:10] DrinkBeer: is there a bugreport about this on launchpad? [10:10] i havent seen yet [10:10] In Firefox and Epiphany both, the active tab sometimes loads the homepage randomly. Very frustrating - anyone else know about this? (Hardy amd64) [10:10] Hi! I'm trying to create a .deb package and I have no idea on how to install gconf schema files when installing the package. Can anyone help me? [10:10] similar bugs, but not the same [10:11] i've read about it being a kernel bug but i doubt that lol [10:11] !compile | Sambrista [10:11] Sambrista: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [10:11] for me it video plays so and no audio, but you have no video at and have audio.. [10:11] hello [10:11] so=slow [10:11] how do i use a script [10:11] to calibrate wacom [10:11] ushimitsudoki: Let me ask.. He's my setup. I've got an intel onboard card using the i810 driver, and a pci nvidia gf4 440mx. Both cards each have one monitor on them.. What would be the best route to go? I just want to be able to move from one screen to the next with the same desktop. [10:12] write it, save it, create a launcher, and set it to run in terminal [10:12] quick easy not so clean way [10:13] I upgraded to hardy and I noticed that ctrl-alt-f1 doesn't take me to a virtual terminal anymore [10:13] why is that? [10:13] babolat: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/debian-linux-help/46324-ubuntu-ppp-pap-secrets.html [10:13] Ravious: Xinerama is your only option I think. You can NOT move windows between screens when they are separate X screens - I KNOW this. And TwinView is nvidia-only, so I don't THINK that is an option because both your cards are not nvidia. So, that leaves Xinerama [10:13] neither ctrl-alt-f2,f3,f4,f5 work [10:13] babolat: see the bottom for the fix [10:13] ubottu: i'm not compiling, just creating a .deb package. I just install some python scripts and then I want to tell gconf to use them [10:13] Hey guys, i really need your help. Downloaded Ubuntu 8.04 yesterday and tried to install it, however after selecting Install Ubuntu and waiting for the splash screen to appear, nothing happens, call i get is a blanck screen, is there any reason for this? [10:13] Wow good bit of people. :D [10:13] Gnea: looking :) [10:13] i dunno since i have ATI i think since it is a new realse there are still some bugs in the codecs or something somewhere [10:13] Sambrista: ubottu is a bot, not a real person [10:14] with gutsy it took 3 weeks before it supported my video fully [10:14] i have no sound [10:14] http://www.stanford.edu/~gi1242/per/opensource/hp2710p/calibrate.pl [10:14] how do i use that [10:14] Wangfg you need sound drivers. [10:14] so since its been out a week its got 2 weeks to fix itself before i figure out how lol [10:14] chmod 700 calibrate.pl && ./calibrate.pl [10:14] xXEx3cuti0n3rXx: i have sound driver [10:14] ushimitsudoki: ok, thanks. I'll take a look at the config file and see what i can figure out. Would you happen to know about the txt screen when x crashes? how its all off screen? [10:14] I upgraded to hardy and I noticed that ctrl-alt-f1 doesn't take me to a virtual terminal anymore, neither ctrl-alt-f2,f3,f4,f5,f12 works for me [10:15] is it something new, or it works for you [10:15] too [10:15] Ravious: I'm sorry I don't know about that - even when misconfigured I haven't had X crash, just go into bulletproof mode when trying to load up [10:15] DrinkBeer: i have nvidia [10:15] i dont think its video card related [10:15] ushimitsudoki: ok, thank you once again.

[10:38] Flynsarmy, That's the same prob I am having [10:38] Saint`Dia: should just be a simple matter of importing your bookmarks from there, if that's the case [10:38] well off to random banter later all [10:38] Slart, lemme check the logs [10:39] !glib [10:39] Factoid glib not found [10:39] !libglib [10:39] Factoid libglib not found [10:39] !libglib-dev [10:39] Factoid libglib-dev not found [10:39] i'm using fglrxinfo [10:39] Slart, Er, where are the logs kept? [10:39] Does anyone here have Hardy 8.04 (64bit if possible) running on dial-up internet? If so, what modem do you have? [10:39] dvds work fine for me in VLC [10:39] !info libglib [10:39] Package libglib does not exist in hardy [10:39] Netham45: you can use the bot in om [10:39] Netham45: in pm [10:39] scoldog: start vlc from a terminal.. or open the "messages" window [10:39] Can't believe you still have dile up. xD [10:39] oh ic [10:39] hey whats up [10:40] so i cant install cclfox on hardy heron then? [10:40] so i can yet install cclfox on hardy heron then? [10:40] Slart, this is what it says "dvdread error: read failed for -1/4 blocks at 0x01" [10:40] parasite2: I have hardy running on a windows software modem, and an old usr [10:40] executioner: I have dialup because I can't get anything else in this area [10:41] ariqs: Which modem!? My modem just wont work, so I'm willing to buy a new one./ [10:41] So is there a bug when upgrading from gutsy to heron though the update thinger? [10:41] Found something on the video lan forum [10:41] parasite2: what is your modem? I had to compile special drivers for my software modem [10:41] Ok i have hardy installed and the lappy crashes whenever i drag and drop ...is there a fix and were could i get it [10:41] ariqs: It's an Intel 536EP. [10:42] thanks - it actually was: Ride on Time-Black Box :) [10:42] scoldog: Cancel that VLC is working for me now. I installed some libraries this morning. must have just needed a reboot [10:42] bye [10:42] I just can't get it online, and it's infuriating. [10:42] Spent hours trying [10:42] Drock112, can you be more specific? what crashes, what apps are you dragging from and to? [10:42] and really sorry for spam [10:42] parasite2: have you tried using wvdial? [10:42] Flynsarmy, OK. My probs seems to be a region code problem [10:42] Is there anyway to like "defrag". [10:42] pdf on the desktop into my docs [10:42] !defrag | Saint`Dia [10:42] Saint`Dia: The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext3) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. A package "defrag" is available in !Universe, however its use is not safe, and is generally not needed. [10:42] Dunno why, I've never changed the region code on this thing [10:42] SNMP :D [10:43] white_eagle: have you tried turning the framebuffer off? [10:43] the mouse is acting all weird too [10:43] Saint`Dia: there is... but you'll have a fifty fifty chance of trashing the partition... so don't do it..=) [10:43] ariqs: Yeah. Actually, look at my thread. Easier than explaining EVERYTHING! Screenies included: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=774611 [10:43] Gnea: where do I turn that off [10:43] Saint`Dia: just keep a healthy 20% or so of the drive space free and you'll be fine [10:43] So nobody knows if there's an issue updating to hardy through the update manager? (this reminds me of winxp SP2...) [10:43] Gnea: sorry but after 4 months, I am still n00bish [10:43] white_eagle: at boot time - check your grub config in /boot/grub/menu.lst [10:44] white_eagle: see if there's something that says vga=791 or such [10:44] ariqs: OK? [10:44] i'm loading it, parasite [10:45] Gnea: yes there is [10:45] ariqs: Cool, just making sure my post didn't get lost in the channel. :) [10:45] in defoptions=vga=791 [10:45] có cu Việt nam nào trong này không ?

[10:46] Drock112, what happens if you go into Preferences | Apperance | Effects (tab), and set the effects to none. Does it still crash?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [10:47] astro76: nope, it's grub, not lilo :) [10:47] it reads from the config file in real time [10:48] my flash in firefox hardy heron lags verry much [10:48] Gnea: yeah but update-grub copies the defoptions down to the actual entries, if that's where he changed it [10:48] DrinkBeer: i want to find the personally installed themes, installed through gnome and not via synaptic [10:48] astro76: i guess we'll see [10:48] i know ace [10:48] 1 [10:49] ah found it, ~/.themes/ [10:49] they are there, they are based on the theme it is based on , clearlooks, crux etc === ambi is now known as Ambient [10:49] i've got a big problem, when i do log in, ubuntu say me which the home have the not correct permess and, when I start a programm from the application bar, it's show me an error message which say me: "I can't open home" HELP [10:49] hi, anybody hears me?

[10:52] whiteeagle: it normally asks nothing [10:52] I'm re-asking a question, now with more information.... as user1 I can login from the terminal, but running sudo results in "sudo: can't open /etc/sudoers: Permission denied", can su to root, with root pw set. Can log in as root on console, and can su to user1 and user2. can't su to user3, get "Cannot execute /bin/bash: Permission denied". can't login as user3. Get "Unable to cd to '/home/user3'. Permissions on user3's directories are equival [10:52] ient to other users. If i as root su to user2, i can run the sudo command sucessfully - it doesn't quit with a permission denied error, without asking for a password as it does for user1 [10:52] whiteeagle: you need to comment that line out... then you need to run update-grub [10:52] ACE, just right click the desktop [10:52] whiteeagle: and THEN you reboot [10:52] thanks Very much cwillu...big help...too bad i wont get all the nice effects though [10:52] my hardy has been quite unstable.

[10:53] Gnea: ok, now step by step, please, you confused me [10:53] whiteeagle: come to think of it I have defoptions=nosplash, maybe defoptions= probably doesn't work [10:53] how did you manage all those images on dialup, parasite2? damnit, I'll never get them all downloaded on dialup ;P [10:53] Viddy: what are the permissions of /etc/sudoers? [10:53] u can change hilite color etc from the right click [10:53] Drock112, try setting to just normal effects, and try it again [10:53] root:root ug+r [10:53] Drock112, there's a suspicion that it might be the reflection plugin in particular [10:53] astro76: huh??? it says I have 2 kernels [10:54] cwillu: is that information enough? [10:54] Found kernel: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-16-generic [10:54] Found kernel: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic [10:54] whiteeagle: 1) edit /boot/grub/menu.lst 2) comment out the defoptions= line 3) save and quit the editor 4) run: sudo update-grub 5) reboot [10:54] all three users have the same permissions/settings in /etc/password and groups and shadow and gshadow [10:54] cwillu ok will try it fix the drag and drop but not the moving....will try tweaking a bit with the effects [10:54] abyss_, probably; I'm not a sata expert, but I want to check something [10:54] Gnea: with 2 ## right? [10:54] whiteeagle: do what Gnea said, comment out in this case you need ## at the beginning of th e line [10:54] cwillu: k, just say me what to do to check :) [10:55] ok [10:55] whiteeagle: one will do. === DrinkBeer is now known as NoseHair [10:55] cwillu: but i think 50 mb/s is a bit to low for an sata2 3gb/s connection [10:55] abyss_, did you have to boot with any kernel flags (i.e., grub options) at any point?

[11:03] cwillu: may i ask another question? i run ubuntu 8.04 desktop the sound management seems to be very poor! if i open youtube for exmaple and play a movie then pause it and then i start vlc for example vlc wont make any noise :) [11:04] is it a known bug? If you go to the preferences, and want to display what your layout look like, you get an empty window without any picture [11:04] erUSUL: Will that cause any great problems for me?

[11:06] abyss_, you can install libflashsupport, and then remove and reinstall the flashplugin, and that'll make it share the audio device, but you get occasional crashes (although they're more annoying than damaging, due to the session restoring that firefox has) [11:07] hello [11:07] abyss_, btw, hdparm cached will be referring to the kernel cache afaik, not the actual drive cache [11:07] Bodsda: Not sure if this will help you but when i need to get sound working on ubuntu i have to do this: sudo aptitude install linux-backports-modules-generic [11:07] shouldnt update-manager be installed by default in my ubuntu ( was using RC) - i have only up-man-core [11:07] abyss_, doing an uncached speed test for a very small amount, and then doing it again before accessing anything else, should give you more representative numbers [11:07] Flynsarmy, will try -- thanks dude [11:08] Bodsda: It will require a reboot for it to kick in [11:08] Ergo^: server? [11:08] no, desktop [11:08] Ergo^: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop to make sure you have the default packages [11:08] Flynsarmy, ok,.,. ty -- i think hardy needs alot of work -- this pulse audio switch was not a good idea [11:09] maybe i should rather reinstall from GA release ?

JS was enabled and its flash 9 on here so i'm not sure what the prob was [11:12] Flynsarmy, wasn't spike.com by any chance was it?

[12:16] hello can someone help me? the weather report in the panel can not display icon for Mist [12:16] echogen: you can't install ubuntu and windows on the same partition.. unless you use wubi.. but on the same hard drive should work [12:16] ^root^, if 'compiz' fails, then run metacity [12:16] After I update to Hardy [12:16] echogen: that worked with 7.10.. and with 8.04 [12:17] ^root^, and change your name, it's really annoying typing the ^ [12:17] cwillu, what do i have to change in tools | add-ons? [12:17] slackd00d: there is no place in the installer that tells me so [12:17] Lava, look for flashblock there [12:17] it just make me choose the hardisk... and never the partition [12:17] re, I'm new to linux. What are the pro's and con's between kde and gnome. And should I install a seperate OS kubuntu along side my ubuntu or just include kde as extra gui? === ^root^ is now known as roo1 [12:17] roo1, thanks, much easier to type :) [12:17] shockwave flash, is that it? [12:17] European-African: personal preferences is a huge factor [12:17] hey guys [12:18] I think gnome sucks [12:18] love kde [12:18] Hello everybody. I connected an external monitor to my Ubuntu laptop. It shows in Screen Resolution Settings, yet the screen refuses to turn on. How do i do this kind of stuff? [12:18] cwillu: no use [12:18] European-African: You're asking for an opinionated opinion, so... get Gnome, also get KDE as a desktop. [12:18] Grandia: reasons [12:18] Gnome has less interface distractions. [12:18] anybody now a nice side bar that display's cpu temp,processor, mem usage, disk ... [12:18] echogen: well.. that's a whole new problem.. your windows partition is using all the free space on the drive.. you'll have to shrink the windows partiton first [12:18] My video card is a 855GM [12:18] anyone here who can help me with Ndiswrapper?! [12:18] roo1, in a terminal, run metacity --replace [12:18] Zyrando: I'm sure yelling louder will help. [12:19] Slart: i have a hardisk having 2 partitions, 1 windows and another for linux already [12:19] ? [12:19] what i am asking is serperate OS better or extra guis? [12:19] anybody now a nice side bar that display's cpu temp,processor, mem usage, disk ... [12:19] herbaliser: conky is one [12:19] Please, anybody? Why are you ignoring my question? [12:19] European-African: Extra GUIs, there's mostly no reason to have a separate OS. [12:19] Hello, i have a problem with the sound under ubuntu.

[12:19] roo1, no, it should be fine [12:20] European-African: I think the more minimal the Desktop Manager the better IMO [12:20] You end up with separate settings, bookmarks and whatnot. [12:20] roo1, but whatever you did before caused compiz to crash [12:20] I only use KDE cause I have trouble with the paths [12:20] most the time I just have 2 consol windows open [12:20] so undoing it would be a good thing, and then relog in (it should start working again, including effects (which are off right now)) [12:20] tnx [12:20] cwillu, sorry bout buggin you but disabling shockwave flash and i can't see the movie at all [12:20] ok thanx [12:20] * cwillu sighs at Lava [12:20] hello?

[12:22] Grandia: hi [12:22] How do i connect an external monitor to my laptop with an Intel 855M video card?

[12:35] European-African, you'd have to ask adobe [12:35] cwillu, no [12:35] I think I might have fixed it [12:35] Yeah, I did a chmod 777 on the directory is was located [12:35] Lava: run locate libflashsupport.so and let me know if you see a line /usr/lib/mozilla/.... [12:35] Lava do you have any other advert blocking software installed? [12:35] cwillu: i hope soon [12:36] cwillu: its been going for a while, down to 50%, do you know if its necessary?

(I'm getting noise across my head phone jack) [12:38] popey, yeah [12:38] solrize: one architecture, one release, binary only is ~17G [12:38] than that command might be helpful or he installed flashblock extension [12:38] cwillu, gnomefreak standard value or selection number? if i run the sudo update-alterntives --config firefox-flashplugin [12:38] does sun java run on amd-64? [12:38] fausto: I can make some suggestions, but over pm [12:38] popey i've got about 150g so far and dunno how much to go [12:38] !flash64 | European-African [12:38] European-African: You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava [12:38] Lava: yeah its not the right name give me a minute ill get the right name [12:38] solrize: how are you mirroring? [12:38] rsync [12:39] ubottu: thanx [12:39] solrize: the whole server? [12:39] yeah [12:39] solrize: madness :) [12:39] When you are buying that Dell Ubuntu thingy, does everything work extremely perfect with the hardware and stuff? [12:39] Lava: you areo nHardy 8.04 right? [12:39] it's skipping a lot of non-regular files which seems a little odd [12:39] gnomefreak, yep [12:39] jocke, as opposed to just mildly perfect? :) [12:39] solrize: it'll be 17G times edgy, feisty, gusty, hardy, ibex, i386, amd64 times two [12:39] Guys, how do I use ssh-agent in 8.04? [12:39] you are on* [12:39] ok [12:39] I want to be prompted for my public key password when I login [12:40] solrize, what command line are you giving? [12:40] solrize: i use apt-mirror, much better [12:40] 17 * 7 * 2 = 34 * 7 = around 250gb, sounds ok [12:40] anyone knows ho to uninstall kubuntu after installing kubuntu-kde4-desktop package? [12:40] cwillu: newly created user has nice menus w/o empty folders. so how do i get that under my default user account? [12:40] rsync mirrors.us.kernel.org::ubuntu . [12:40] fausto: see my message above [12:40] solrize: why? [12:40] fausto, both are the same [12:40] Lava: how about sudo update-alternatives --config xulrunner-flashplugin [12:41] to get all the files [12:41] solrize: why? [12:41] geeko_, honestly, I don't know for sure; I think if you disable those menu's, they'll reenable if something is installed into them, but I'm not sure [12:41] gnomefreak, two alternatives [12:41] *+ 1 /usr/lib/swfdec-mozilla/libswfdecmozilla.so [12:41] 2 /var/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so [12:41] Lava: pick # 2 [12:41] Lava: just use the 2 than enter [12:41] easier than figuring out how to filter it [12:42] solrize: it's nearer 500G [12:42] 500g is ok [12:42] thats why it wasnt playing :) [12:42] Lava: 64bit? [12:42] solrize: it's a bit rude to grab it all if you're not going to use it [12:42] how do I mount smb://boden/pfilm/ till /home/Jonathan/BODEN [12:42] gnomefreak, know any tricks to make flash sound mix while not crashing firefox _or_ the plugin? [12:42] i figure we can put it up as an additional mirror, they seem to always want more [12:42] gnomefreak, still having the problem [12:43] cwillu: couldn't i delete something in my .gnome folder and they'll rebuild? [12:43] gnomefreak, he still has flashblock installed somewhere :p [12:43] Lava: restart the browser? [12:43] geeko_, you probably could [12:43] ðóí [12:43] hey [12:44] anyway we got burned pretty badly when they took the breezy repository offline and we still had some machines running breezy so we dont want that to happen again [12:44] is anybody out there? [12:44] If my unhardened dedicated server got hacked minutes after delivery because of a flaw in the default install(that they did), should I tell my webhost about it? Or just bury it and move on? I didn't get rooted, just chowned on one non privileged user but I fixed that. [12:44] gnomefreak, even after restarting [12:44] !ask| hellmett [12:44] hellmett: 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. :-) [12:44] cwillu: PA is having issues mixing with flash. if you install libflashsupport package than you will get sound but most of time ff will crash. without the libflashsupport package installed than you wont crash but alot of users are not getting sound. for somereason mine is flawless [12:44] extor: tell your webhost [12:44] but i actually didn't realize when i did this rsync that it was going to get old versions, i thought it was just going to get hardy [12:44] Lava: what browser? [12:45] how to check my graphic card is working good [12:45] <_ruben> solrize: using debmirror is much easier :) [12:45] gnomefreak, yep; my laptop is flawless, most of my desktops have the problem [12:45] what's debmirror? [12:45] gnoe [12:45] gnomefreak, firefox [12:45] <_ruben> solrize: i use debmirror myself to mirror gutsy/hardy i386/x64 at work [12:45] ferronica: run a nice opengl game [12:45] Lava: 3.0? [12:46] Grandia: how [12:46] <_ruben> solrize: tool to sync parts of an ubuntu/debian mirror .. using rsync/http/ftp [12:46] hmm, i'm looking at the docs for it [12:46] Grandia: where to get from === fausto is now known as bogusbill [12:46] uhhh [12:46] Scorched 3d? [12:46] I dunno [12:46] ferronica, glxinfo|grep -i direct [12:46] My question is to a russian part of the chat, i'm looking for a picture of 4 country guys (derevenskie) at a table, with glasses and dump faces and looking to a camera [12:46] should say [12:46] yes [12:46] i love that game [12:46] gnomefreak, yup firefox 3.0b5, i even tried installing internet explorer 6 to see if i could resolve it like that, but in IE it is not working either [12:46] Hi, I need help with pidgin, I clicked help and it took me here.... I was wondering how do I resize the chat window? I just upgraded too the latest version and it is really annoying compared to how it used to be [12:46] ferronica, glxgears should show a pretty animation, at a couple hundred frames per second [12:46] i just dont know how to search for it in google [12:47] the mirroring page seems to suggest rsync as the normal approach so that's what i thought i was doing [12:47] cwillu:Grandia: direct rendering: Yes [12:47] Lava: if you go to tools>addons from firefox menu do you see the flashblock extension listed [12:47] ferronica, you're probably working fine then [12:47] gnomefreak, nope [12:47] does the new pidgin include support for webcam?? [12:47] cwillu: thanks, ill try that [12:47] gnomefreak, Lava, deja-vu :p [12:48] johnny_5, no there are some video plugins but it's not included [12:48] ekiga has it [12:48] Ubuntu Firefox Modifications 0.5 is the only one [12:48] k [12:48] cwillu:Grandia: no whenever i use visual effects system restart [12:48] guess i'll just stick w/ what i got [12:48] Lava: disable it restart ff and try again [12:48] kde or gnome [12:48] ok, doe ik [12:49] is synaptic sort of the usual package installer, and is there a way to select all the packages for some given program? e.g. all the gcc 4.2 packages [12:49] i've been usin' amsn 4 webcam anywayz... [12:49] Lava: after browser restart does it work? [12:49] gnomefreak, depressingly: no [12:49] Lava: good [12:49] My xchat has lost the menu bars at the top, what do I do to bring it back? [12:50] lava join me in #ubuntu-mozillateam pleas [12:50] please [12:50] wil, close it and reopen [12:50] wil, hmm, try pressing f9 or something like that?

[12:50] slart, hmm, ok, that helps [12:50] i just installed ubuntu and now as soon as i log in i can just see a plain white screen. if i do ctrl+shift to restart i can see my background for a brief moment before it restarts [12:50] Pls help: applications like gnucash and gramps dont keep changes in colums after reboot (Hardy heron lts) [12:51] does ubuntu like radeaon vid cards [12:51] i just installed hardy on a new computer and it's still missing a lot of stuff... i've never installed it before [12:51] Jazman_: I think the radeon cards are pretty well supported [12:51] hi all; i am pretty new to linux, running ubuntu 8.04. i'm running proftpd on this ubuntu now and im having some problems with utf-8. can anybody help me please? [12:51] server irc.plasa.com [12:51] i'm from germany and ive several files with special characters [12:51] i have a boot problem [12:51] solrize, thanks, f9 worked [12:52] cool [12:52] i tink its with my card or settings [12:52] would be really nice if someone had some minutes for me [12:52] may have to stay with windows [12:52] hey [12:52] vibeseeker i'm not sure if anyone understands what trouble you're having [12:52] i don't understand it so i didn't answer [12:53] Hello. I have no sound on Ubuntu (without headphones). My computer detects my soundcard (hda-intel) and the codecs (Realtek ALC880 and Generic 11c1 Si3054). My laptop is an LG P1 5005P [12:53] why BitchX isnt on the Hardys repos? [12:53] solrize: he's wanting a unicode support I think [12:53] well, i run a ftp client on windows. but the files and folders which have special characters on the server are not shown correctly [12:53] !info bitchx [12:53] Package bitchx does not exist in hardy [12:54] hmm.. odd.. it's available in gutsy.. [12:54] ye [12:54] maybe try kubuntu [12:54] i cant access those files and folders on the server because linux is running utf-8 afaik [12:54] im on kubuntu [12:54] i'm just installed 8.04 and i want to use my radeon x1300 (i tried for ages on 7.10 but with no success) when i log in now i get a plain white screen, how can i fix this [12:54] hoggie: because it was removed from Debian for non-maintainance and security issues. [12:54] Yikes. [12:54] vibeseeker what should it be doing instead? [12:54] hate all other irc clients. [12:55] is it just me or does kde seem to have better default apps than gnome does? Like even the k-snapshot app is nice compared to the ghetto/gnome screenshot app [12:55] Because I'm using a 64 bit processor, do I have to compile everything apart from packages myself? [12:55] hoggie: then get it from the source [12:55] Good afternoon. I have a little problem. Can U help me? [12:55] I found KDE's stuff kinda... well, GNOME's was better. [12:55] http://www.bitchx.org/ [12:55] roxahris: nope.. there are 64bit binary packages available [12:55] hahaha see what it says about bitchx.com [12:55] Well, for example... [12:55] solrize: it should show the folders and the files on the server correctly with the special german characters, but instead it shows some cryptic characters [12:55] slart: ye.. thats what im gonna do.. know about aNY good source sites? for these kind of tarballz? [12:55] that's like an ancient ircii fork, right? i can [12:55] roxahris uhmm...I was particularly impressed by the KDE snapshot proggy, ever tried it? [12:55] can't believe anyone is using that [12:55] cradle: nope.. perhaps if you ask your question your chances might improve. =) [12:56] vibeseeker hmm is there a client setting for utf8? could it be trying to use latin-1 or something like that? [12:56] i want to run the server for backups of my windows system [12:56] vibeseeker, utf-8 is unicode (i.e., _every_ special character :p); are you having problems viewing the files on the windows ftp server, or sharing them from ubuntu _to_ the windows box? [12:56] for example what? [12:56] I tried to install this Gens package from the forums, and it said "processor type not supported"... [12:56] hoggie: google for bitchx... should be a site out there [12:56] extor: Nope... [12:56] hoggie, www.bitchx.org [12:56] In Pidgin I get the error: Error connecting to messenger.hotmail.com:1863 (Connection refused). [12:56] how un-thinkfull of me [12:56] It works fine in Windows, can anyone help? [12:57] Slart: Ok. I have Ubuntu 7.04, woking at gnome. I have kopete messenger. Trouble: There is no sound in kopete [12:57] roxahris boot up on a knoppix live CD and press print screen...you will be amazed [12:57] or bitchx.com who knows which he the real one, hee hee [12:57] cradle: no idea.. perhaps someone else knows [12:57] cwillu, solrize: only smartftp works fine, but total commander or flashfxp which have a good synchronize tool dont work; in ubuntu, the characters are shown correctly if i browse the folders [12:58] Can't I just log into KDE4 and press it? [12:58] try the configuration options for total commander and flashfxp (i'm guessing those are windows ftp clients) [12:58] vibeseeker, windows server or ubuntu server? [12:58] brb [12:58] cwillu, solrize: the server (proftpd) runs on ubuntu [12:58] can someone please tell me how to reset the video settings? when i boot up my screen is a plain white screen [12:58] cwillu, solrize: the client runs on windows [12:58] after i log in, that is [12:58] cwillu: any indea how to run that glx gears on screen [12:59] vibeseeker, smartftp is the only known windows ftp client that properly handles unicode [12:59] hello, is there any way to fetch subtitles for my movies without having to go search for them n the web ? [12:59] ferronica, type glxgears in a terminal [12:59] Se7h: nope [12:59] thanks, and one more thing, im trying to use kubuntu, i was using ubuntu till now.. its like less friendly!! and from some reasons i cant manage to make 2 things happen, 1) the icon widget, im trying to make desktop shortcuts with it, but it doesnt accept any shortcut i feel in preferences of it, 2) im trying to make my lcd+laptop screen work together, and i dont find a way to do so, like nVidia settings and stuff... [12:59] cwillu, solrize: so i would like proftpd not to handle unicode [12:59] actually two more things :) [12:59] vibeseeker, in which case, talk to the proftpd people :p [12:59] cwillu: ok doner [12:59] Slart would it be good to have that? [13:00] Se7h: sure.. it would be nice [13:00] cwillu, solrize: instead it should handle my shared files and folders in another way so that i can use any client to view everything correctly [13:00] hum [13:00] I am using emerald and when a window is maximized, the buttons in the top right corner flickr when the mouse hovers. This only happens when the windows is maxed? any ideas why? [13:00] vibeseeker, you're not going to get the special characters though afaik [13:00] cwillu: but whenever i use visual effects - extra system crash [13:00] anyone knows a .deb pakage to teste internet connection ? [13:01] ferronica, but regular visual effects work? [13:01] sortudo_78: ping is often used for testing [13:01] cwillu: yes [13:01] cwillu: ya normal works [13:01] cwillu: default effects [13:01] ferronica_, then your card doesn't support extra. buy a different card, or stop wanting extra effects :p [13:01] Hello everyone. [13:01] thaks slart, but i need some graphics an some reporters [13:02] !enter | ferronica [13:02] ferronica: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [13:02] cwillu: will changing default locale have any positive result? [13:02] thaks slart, but i need some graphics an some reporters [13:02] cwillu: but on same card i used compiz-fusion, beryl on ubuntu previous versions [13:02] May i suggest "subdownloader" to download those subtitles, which has a simple cli interface [13:02] sortudo_78: planning on using it in some kind of enterprise enviroment? or.. why do you need pretty graphics? [13:02] ferronica, you can install the other compiz control panel (forget what it's called) and turn on individual effects until you see which one crashes it, but that's all that I can suggest. Nobody in here can fix your video card not supporting some particular effect [13:02] vibeseeker, ubuntu's or proftpds? [13:03] vibeseeker, proftp, it _might_ [13:03] I am using emerald and when a window is maximized, the buttons in the top right corner flickr when the mouse hovers. This only happens when the windows is maxed? any ideas why? [13:03] sortudo_78: or you need to test internet connection bandwidth, response time etc? [13:03] vibeseeker, pre-unicode character localization is a dark art I'm thankful to be able to ignore :) [13:03] please help me: i just enabled restricted video drivers for my ati radeon and now the screen is all garbled up. how do i fix this? [13:03] slart: yes [13:03] I did ask in the linux room but they seem rather dead, how would I install a firewall on a linux box setup to do ip forwarding to multiple different machines. [13:04] Chase-san, thats the 'ip-masquerading' howto. and related info. its not too hard to do. [13:04] Chase-san, google :p [13:04] publicity apart, Subdownloader needs some support on testing the program [13:04] cwillu: ok [13:04] Chase-san, i hear some of the gui firewal tools can do it with a few clicks. [13:04] cwillu: ok... thanks so far, i'll try to contact proftpd people [13:04] Chase-san, honestly, finding a good tutorial would be the best bet [13:04] * solrize doesn't see anything about unicode in the proftpd docs [13:04] thanks, and one more thing, im trying to use kubuntu, i was using ubuntu till now.. its like less friendly!! and from some reasons i cant manage to make 2 things happen, 1) the icon widget, im trying to make desktop shortcuts with it, but it doesnt accept any shortcut i feel in preferences of it, 2) im trying to make my lcd+laptop screen work together, and i dont find a way to do so, like nVidia settings and stuff... any idea?? [13:04] that sort of thing is a bit advanced and in depth for irc [13:04] Yah, sorry, I see people and people are ranked higher in intelligence then google [13:04] i suspect the windows clients expect to see windows-1252 or something like that [13:04] cwillu: thats a bit annoying... before i ran a server on windows which worked properly [13:04] I'll find that tutorial though [13:05] vibeseeker take a look at the wikipedia article on unicode to see the scale of mess that you're dealing with... [13:05] Chase-san, i belive theres a ubuntu ip-masq or share internet connection howto/wiki page also [13:05] !ipmasq [13:05] Factoid ipmasq not found [13:05] oh no, ip-masq, no its not a NAT setup, just a routing, would I have to use a NAt setup to firewall it? [13:05] vibeseeker, only because both boxes were thinking that ascii codes 128-255 mean german, instead of one of a dozen other possible meanings [13:05] Chase-san: it's a very common setup.. there must be hundreds of tutorials out there.. all pretty much the same .. the routing is done via ip tables.. === _t00r is now known as t00r [13:05] ip-masq gets other machines to the internet through the masqing server [13:06] vibeseeker, http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/Unicode.html if you really want to know :p [13:06] but doesn't that require it to be NATed? [13:06] ok thanks :) [13:06] slart: i need to prove that my connection is instable to my isp ! [13:06] Chase-san, do you have more than one ip, or the ability to set routes upstream? [13:06] is it possible to use two screens from a radeon video card in ubuntu? [13:06] charlie, yes, although not super easily out of the box [13:07] Hello. I'm having a few issues with Ubuntu, but one of em is extremely weird. If I try to connect to my router via wireless adaptor while in Ubuntu.. it causes my Router/Modem to restart. It literally shuts off and on. In Windows i dont have this problem. Make sense at all? I tried removing encryptions and stuff so it would just need to connect simply. === ajmorris is now known as ajmorris|AFK [13:07] charlie, I don't have the config handy for it any more, but googling for '''xrandr radeon mergedfb''' should get you an appropriate tutorial [13:07] cwillu, I might be setting up a dhcp server on the box, and this will be the end internet access point for the entire network, abiet a rather small network [13:07] sortudo_78: anything you produce can be falsified.. you might as well write down ping times from a quake server on a notepad [13:07] most of the boxes connected will be windows [13:07] Chase-san, what type of internet connection? [13:07] cwillu: do you know a tool which automatically converts files and folders with special characters? [13:08] Morning all. [13:08] cwillu, dsl modem [13:08] ill try that, thanks cwillu [13:08] sortudo_78: there are many bandwidth testers out there on the net.. some use flash, some use java, some you have to download [13:08] what would be a good choice for a simple ftp server? [13:08] Chase-san, okay, you need to do masq or nat [13:08] What's the "status" for automatic upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04? Are there any big risks? [13:08] Chase-san, i.e., what ip range where you using? [13:08] cwillu: with the result that there are no more files and folders with special characters on my system so that there are no mor eproblems [13:08] slart: ok i will try ping, thanks very much [13:09] l3dx, if you're not in a hurry to see the latest and greatest, wait for 8.04.1 (aka 8.06, although I'm the only one who calls it that :p) === draposo is now known as gandabruto [13:09] cwillu, probably 196.168.0.1 to 255 range [13:09] !help [13:09] I am ubottu, the all-knowing infobot, standing in for ubotu while he's getting his haircut done, nose powdered, updated and transitioned to his new gorgeous looks in the near future ;) [13:09] Chase-san, yep, you need to use nat then [13:09] !masq [13:09] Factoid masq not found [13:09] !nat [13:09] !nvidia [13:09] Factoid nat not found [13:09] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [13:09] bah [13:09] hi all [13:09] Has anyone run into anything with Ubuntu that would cause they're hard drive light to constantly stay on? [13:09] Chase-san, if you can spend a hundred bucks, I'd strongly suggest buying a wrt54gl and being done with it :p [13:10] cwillu, not an option i'm afraid. [13:10] cwillu, I'm not in a hurry. Just curious :) But I don't wanna risk spending rest of the weekend getting my system up before work on monday :) [13:10] Chase-san, lack of money, or lack of features? [13:10] cwillu money [13:10] steph-n hmmm do you hear a click once a minute? [13:11] l3dx, it all depends my laptop locked up while doing the upgrade but worked fine after a hard reboot as my desktop went all the way through the upgrade with no problems but when I booted up my video card was messed wound up doing a clean install on it [13:11] no it doesn't sound like the HD are acutally being read but the light stays solid regardless [13:11] Greetings to you all. [13:11] Chase-san, free tip: don't work for places that won't spend 100 dollars on critical infrastructure :p [13:11] Chase-san, it's not worth the frustration [13:11] Chase-san, but anyways :p [13:11] cwillu, not work heh, home [13:11] cwillu, I would be so outta there if my work was this dumb [13:11] I would be appreciated if anyone could help me on a step-by-step on how to get the wireless working on a Toshiba Satellite Pro L40 Laptop? [13:11] i have a problem in mounting my device sdb1 ... if i try to mount it console says me that device doesnt exist ... but im sure it exists because fdisk -l says so ... i noticed if i try to format or control file system trought gparted i can mount it .. and a file named sdb1 is created in /dev ... when i reboot and try to mount the same hd console says me that device doesnt exist and sdb1 file in /dev is deleted ... who can help me please? [13:12] cwillu, it just happened I have about 4 unused boards and boxes and about a dozen eathernet cards, and I thought.. free switch [13:13] heh [13:13] okay :) [13:13] I would be appreciated if anyone could help me on a step-by-step on how to get the wireless working on a Toshiba Satellite Pro L40 Laptop? [13:13] hello. I have no sound on Ubuntu hardy. I have only sound when I put my headphones [13:13] cwillu, will there be any issues with traffic routing? [13:14] http://tldp.org/HOWTO/IP-Masquerade-HOWTO/ should get you started [13:14] that sounds like your speakers are disconnected [13:14] Chase-san, nat is pretty transparent outbound [13:14] Chase-san, inbound is trickier, but it's not really a solvable problem in general [13:14] automatically at least [13:15] aaahhh... linux+ndiswrapper is driving me crazy ^^ [13:15] Please would anyone help me on a step-by-step on how to get the wireless working on a Toshiba Satellite Pro L40 Laptop? [13:15] cwillu, ahh thanks... yah the inbound is what i'm worried about [13:15] excuse me, I have an HP remote in which some keys are already working (even from GRUB), but other are not. How can I configure the missing ones? This remote is not listed in lirc... thank you [13:15] helpers, how can i know the exact path of the dvd here please -> growisofs -dvd-compat -speed=8 -Z /dev/dvd=/media/hdb5/dvdimg.img [13:15] cwillu, why I wanted to avoid doing a nat. [13:15] Tim, I'm also having trouble with wireless networks [13:15] Chase-san, you only have one ip though [13:15] TimMatrix: have you tried the wifi docs? [13:15] cwillu not really an option though [13:15] !xinerama [13:15] xinerama is an extension to !X to use two or more physical displays as one large virtual display. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo - See also !DualHead [13:15] me2 having problems with Wirless network ^^ [13:15] Alath: what laptop u got? [13:15] there's no other way to do it, other than moving to a proxy [13:15] !dualhead [13:15] Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama [13:15] Compaq Presario C500US [13:15] and moving to a proxy isn't networking anymore really :p [13:16] danbhive Already tried that [13:16] hence asking for step-by-step [13:16] Chase-san, did you get that? [13:16] Chase-san, the nat bit? [13:16] Tim, when I try to connect. It causes my entire modem/router to shut off. [13:16] cwillu, yah [13:16] !tab > TimMatrix use tabs to types names, makes everyone's life easier [13:17] does anyone know how to add a UTC based clock under 'locations' in the clock applet in hardy? [13:17] cwillu, so that tut covers firewalling aswell [13:17] Thus the connection to the internet does not work. [13:17] If I connect wired.. ethernet. I'm fine of course. [13:17] Chase-san, nat is basically a firewall to begin with [13:17] woot! about to begin install on dell inspiron 1300 with bcm43xx [13:17] Chase-san, so it should [13:17] cwillu, thanks [13:17] np [13:17] helpers, i got from here -> growisofs -dvd-compat -speed=8 -Z /dev/dvd=/media/hdb5/dvdimg.img , --> :-( unable to open64("/dev/dvd/media/hdb5/dvdimg.img",O_RDONLY): No such file or directory [13:18] cwillu, I might have another question, but thats it for now, don't wanna push the limits of the technology to much. [13:18] Chase-san, just remember: default-deny is your friend [13:18] Chase-san, what's the other question? [13:18] cwillu, default-deny? [13:18] Wolf23: you can't open a file like that.. from a device [13:18] On top of the wireless connection being quite weird. The touch pad and built in keyboard doesn't work. Even though it worked on the Live CD run. [13:18] cwillu, thats a new one to me. [13:18] Wolf23: you have to mount the device somewhere [13:18] someone knows somethign about tacitcal ops in wine [13:18] Chase-san, it's a mindframe [13:18] Alath: Okay, but that does not address the issue. My wife is fed up with Windows Vista and wants to have a try on Ubuntu. So, I have made a dual-boot, just in case. I'm now running Ubuntu 8.04 on this laptop, but the internet connection is via Ethernet. As this laptop cannot see Wireless Device, despite this laptop does have wireless capability as it has been used when under Vista. [13:19] Slart: how can i do that ? [13:19] Chase-san, don't filter out bad. Block everything, and filter out good [13:19] Wolf23: see that first part of the path-.. /dev/dvd... that's a device.. not where the files are stored [13:19] Can anyone help with a "Connection Refused" error I get when trying to logon to MSN messenger using pidgin/amsn? [13:19] Wolf23: find out where the dvd is mounted.. probably /media/dvd or something like that [13:19] TimMatrix, what wireless chipset? [13:19] cwillu, yah that seems the most secure [13:20] Well, I hate Vista too. I'll probably just downgrade to XP. However, the issue of wireless network for you is that the driver is missing or not enabled. Something along those lines. [13:20] cwillu: HOw do I find that out? [13:20] Slart: how can i find this friend? just tell me coz i am newbie [13:20] Wolf23: oh.. wow.. I need coffee.. I didn't read properly.. [13:20] TimMatrix, lspci | grep -i net [13:20] TimMatrix, pastebin the output of that [13:20] Ubuntu detects USB devices and their drivers.. but apparently not the crap built in with my laptop. I assume its probably the same issue for you too. [13:20] !pastebin | TimMatrix [13:20] TimMatrix: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [13:20] Wolf23: but something is wrong with that command line.. where did you find it? [13:21] hello. I have no sound on Ubuntu hardy. I have only sound when I put my headphones [13:21] Slart: i read it from a website [13:21] Wolf23: aha.. read that website again.. closely.. check for typos etc [13:22] Slart: i lost that site :( , so i connect to here to get a help [13:22] i would like to help somebody, has anybody hare that wants to know sonthing that i know how to explain? [13:22] hi, i can't select a resolution bigger than 800x600 anymore, although i usually use 1024*780 and it works just fine. [13:22] kkk [13:22] cwillu: http://pastebin.com/d1278bfdf [13:22] Wolf23: well.. I've never used growisofs.. use google or ask the room again. [13:23] how do i setup which directory to be shown as "Desktop" ? [13:23] Slart: ok [13:23] using gnome [13:23] clee-saan pastebin your xorg.conf [13:23] window_cleaner: okay, where do i find my xorg.conf ? [13:23] helpers, can anyone help me for this please!!! -> growisofs -dvd-compat -speed=8 -Z /dev/dvd=/media/hdb5/dvdimg.img , --> :-( unable to open64("/dev/dvd/media/hdb5/dvdimg.img",O_RDONLY): No such file or directory [13:24] cwillu: Sorry, should have used Ubuntu's pastebin. DO you want me to do this again? [13:24] clee-saan /etc/X11/xorg.conf should be it [13:24] is it possible to make xubuntu to copy files in an alphabetical order? right now it seems pretty random, for example if i highlight 20 files [13:24] TimMatrix, no, that's fine [13:24] Hi, I have a small problem. My Desktop is randomly not loading. I can "fix" this easily by relogging or doing a gdm restart. Is it a "known bug" or something ? (i didn't find anything on the forums) [13:24] copy them to another folder, for example my mp3 player [13:24] TimMatrix, do you have an eletronic board'ish looking icon near the clock? [13:25] bazhang, sbackup fucked up my drive.......... [13:25] window_cleaner: to pastebin something means to delete it, right ? [13:25] bazhang, its 100percent full now while i only tried to make a backup over ssh [13:25] !pastebin | clee-saan, [13:25] clee-saan,: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [13:25] bazhang, any suggerstions? [13:25] (by Desktop not loading i mean, no icons, no background, no right clic on the background, no nothing...) [13:25] oh [13:25] yeah [13:25] phew [13:25] cwillu: Yes, two terminals looking. Cos it's connected via Ethernet. But when I click the icon, it shows only two things: Wired Network and Configuration. THat's it. No wireless. [13:25] Ward1983: what happerned and please watch language [13:26] ? [13:26] I'm trying to compile Gens, but it won't make! [13:26] window_cleaner: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9739/ here it is [13:26] TimMatrix, go to System | Administration | Driver Setup [13:26] I mean, make won't work! I keep getting errors! [13:26] cwillu: Okay. [13:26] TimMatrix, if it shows up in there, just follow the prompts and reboot [13:27] hi [13:27] I'd ask my ISP for help with this issue but I doubt they know much about Ubuntu. [13:27] bazhang, you recommended sbackup to me last night to backup the disk of my old comp to my new comp, it seemed nice, i ONLY tried the option with ssh, it didnt work and my old harddrive is COMPLETELY full [13:27] my nautilus closes and restarts if i select list view, anyone know where to look? [13:27] bazhang, so sbackup successfully made it impossible to login ! [13:27] bazhang, its the worst software i've ever ever seen [13:28] hello. I have no sound on Ubuntu hardy. I have only sound when I put my headphones [13:28] Can anyone help? [13:28] bazhang, i dunno where to look for the data or anything,m i didnt set it up to backup on my harddisk [13:28] Ward1983: what did you do? what instructions did you follow [13:28] so, anyone ever heard of this no desktop/black background random issue? (i know at least one other person with the same problem, both compiz and nvidia users) [13:28] cwillu: INteresting... IT says that Atheros Hardware Access Layer (HAL) is enabled and the status is "In Use". Also, there's another entry that reads: Support for Atheros 802.11 wireless LAN cards which is enabled, and the status says "In Use". [13:28] bazhang, sbackup is kindof self-explaining i just used the ssh option, filledi n correct ip, user and pass, pressed the test button, and pressed backup now [13:29] bazhang, directory to backup being / [13:29] I need some help: my nautilus closes and restarts if i select list view, anyone know where to look? [13:29] cwillu: rebooting won't have any effect. still cannot see wireless device. [13:29] Ward1983: please show the instructions you used [13:29] bazhang, none, ffs [13:30] Ward1983: you did it without fully understanding how to use it? [13:30] I don't mind waiting, but I would like to know in advance if my issue sounds familiar in anyway. If it sounds fixable or w/e. Wireless router thats built in does not operate, neither does the keyboard and mouse. When I plug a USB network adaptor in, since USB devices work.. and try to connect to the internet with that.. the connection loads and loads. If I watch my modem/router lights while i attempt to connect.. the thing shuts off.. power li [13:30] can anyone tell me why i can't use a res bigger than 800*600 (though 1024*740 used to work just fine) anymore ? Here's a pastebin of xorg.conf : http://paste.ubuntu.com/9739/ [13:30] bazhang, not at all i fully understand it [13:30] I'd like to get a backup script to run daily and output to a (custom) log. Anacron seems to work but the output function does not work. Cron works and gives output, but will only run if the machine is on at the specified time. Any way to make it fully work?

[14:02] you should see, I am playing a pink floyd song called gnome:) [14:02] laeg, and then after it's installed, boot into recovery, modify fstab to mount /home, and delete the existing folders in /home [14:02] TimMatrix, good luck :p [14:03] digitalspaghetti: you need to uninstall firefox 3 and clean the .mozilla directory in your home if you want firefox 2 extensions to work, i had the same problem [14:03] cwillu: 3 even - / and /swap and /home [14:03] cwillu: what about my files? [14:03] laeg: my son's computer is like that. I seem to have to reinstall ubuntu on it on a monthly basis. [14:03] Well.. apparently this is not going to get solved. [14:03] laeg, don't partition [14:03] ~I want to tell you a story... About a little man.. If I can...~ [14:03] just wipe the / partition, tell it to ignore your old home partition [14:04] cwillu: that's what i currently have [14:04] cwillu: but my home folder is in the / volume now [14:04] Alath: what is the issue [14:04] laeg, and you have stuff you need to keep on it? [14:04] :( [14:04] cwillu: ya [14:04] well on the /home partition [14:04] * cwillu smacks laeg [14:05] start making sense please :p [14:05] cwillu: i think if i reinstall specifiying my old /home partition as /home (but not seclecting format) it may work [14:05] roxahris: your Wii as a wifi receiver? [14:05] IF I connect via ethernet to the router, it connects to the net just fine. If i try to connect through wireless, it does not connect and my modem/router reboots. If I connect wirelessly in Windows Vista though, it is fine. [14:05] laeg, you'll have to recreate the account, after [14:05] No... [14:05] if you had more than one [14:05] laeg: yes, it should, just make sure you don't have it set to format. [14:05] alath this is what card-->chipset please [14:05] ubuntu have any issues running under vmware? [14:06] cwillu, pajamian: ok guys, we shall see! ty :D [14:06] Grandia: not if done properly [14:06] Alath, did you get that bit about forcing the wireless speed on the router? [14:06] Grandia: Works fine for me, remeber to install the vmware-tools. [14:06] I read that you can use the Wi-Fi Connector as a wireless receiver... and I want to try and see if it works better than my current one. [14:06] bazhang, it defaulted to /var/backup for some silly reason (im 100percent confident i set it to the ssh dir) [14:06] cwillu, you are telling me things that make no sense. [14:06] Alath, that's fine, just do them :p [14:06] argh! what is thrashing my disk..? how can i tell for sure? [14:06] Alath, what type of router? [14:06] guys got no luck... [14:06] dlink? [14:06] Grandia: You won't get 3d accel, though. And to get xvideo support, you need workstation 6.5 beta and the latest xorg vmware driver. [14:06] 2wire 1700HW [14:07] Ward1983: my mistake for not providing a link; I always follow a tutorial when doing stuff like that [14:07] bazhang, what guidelines / tutorial would you recommend? [14:07] zomg could it be Firefox 3 Beta 5? [14:07] k [14:07] hello :D [14:07] bazhang, no problem its just sbackups behaviour thats the problem [14:07] yes i think it was [14:07] alath this is what chipset lspci will tell the card nam e like broadcom etc [14:08] * cwillu goes and parks outside Alath's house with linux laptop, and resets Alath's router every 30 minutes :p [14:08] bazhang, the adaptors are a built in Broadcom thing.. and the other is Netopia USB adaptor. The Broadcom doesnt seem to have a driver loaded or firmware or w/e. its non existant when Ubuntu runs. The USB Netopia thing or w/e its name is.. it runs but when i try to connect to internet.. yeah issue ;p [14:08] hang on Ward1983 let me find a link [14:08] when i click on the power button the whole panel and task bar disappear, and the power options(hybernate, standby turn off etc) dont come up === acuster_ is now known as another [14:08] Alath, broadcom needs b43-fwcutter at a bare minimum to work [14:08] bazhang, sure thanx === another is now known as someone [14:08] but aside from that [14:08] ok.. and where is b43-fwcutter. [14:08] you have a router problem, not a linux wireless problem :p [14:08] Alath, normal repositories [14:08] helpers, can anyone help me for this please!!! -> growisofs -dvd-compat -speed=8 -Z /dev/dvd=/media/hdb5/dvdimg.img , --> :-( unable to open64("/dev/dvd/media/hdb5/dvdimg.img",O_RDONLY): No such file or directory === someone is now known as anyone [14:09] A router problem. That is why i can connect to my router in every other occasion. ;p [14:09] Alath: make sure that windows does not have it set to 'power down this device when shutting down computer' option on for that nic === anyone is now known as personne [14:09] cwillu: I run sudo lshw, and the output is here http://paste.ubuntu.com/9745/ [14:09] say i want to install linux on a secondary harddisk, i have windows on a primary hdd already installed. during installation of linux, where should i install the grub boot loader, also, is it necessary to create a /boot partition in such a case? [14:09] Pigin won't sign in to MSN for me, can anyone help? === personne is now known as quelquun [14:09] *pidgin [14:09] bazhang, where do i do that? [14:10] what's LTS in the release name stand for? [14:10] !lts [14:10] LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. [14:10] "let them sleep" the devs that is... :P [14:10] yep, ubottu is right [14:10] http://onlyubuntu.blogspot.com/2007/03/backup-and-restore-ubuntu-system-using.html Ward1983 here is one; let me find another as well [14:10] hi all [14:10] Alath: in windows [14:10] ubottu is always right [14:11] bazhang, i mean where in Windows? [14:11] hehehe [14:11] kill bill gates.org [14:11] hhee [14:11] real sitw [14:11] Hi all [14:11] real site [14:11] Does ubuntu have the ability to mount images, like .bin .cue ? [14:11] Device Manager? [14:11] yes [14:11] What is the default plugin directory for firefox 3 on ubuntu 8.04? [14:11] alath in the properties of the device? take a look around--> you are the windows user correct? [14:11] Saint`Dia: yes [14:12] Saint`Dia, the isofuse (or was it fuseiso) tool lets you do that rather easially.. and its easy to do just .iso also. [14:12] ubuntulover: stop that now [14:12] 2 [14:12] [14:12] 3 [14:12] Kubuntu Developers Meeting [14:12] Start: 10:00 [14:12] End: 12:00 [14:12] ubuntulover: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [14:12] Alath, (not meaning to flame here) most wireless cards don't have firmware that's available for a linux hacker to player with, precisely because manufacturers are afraid that a rogue user would go and cause routers to die like that. If a router is dying on connection, it's the routers fault. [14:13] And tell me [14:13] whats a floodbot [14:13] but a real hacker finds his way through [14:13] anyways :p [14:13] !ot | ubuntulover [14:13] ubuntulover: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [14:13] northstar> ~/.mozilla/firefox/ /extensions [14:13] where are the scores for games such as mines stored ? [14:13] Why would the connection reset only when im using Linux, in wireless connection? [14:13] WHATS A FLOODBOT???? TELL ME [14:13] Can anyone please help me with a collision between Creatives X-Fi 32-bit driver and my nVidia Geforce driver 3D-accelerator? :> [14:13] I can connect wirelessly with no issue from Windows.. or connect WIRED from Linux. [14:13] most likely router probs... [14:13] bazhang, never mind it worked this time, apperantly its needed to do save configuration first :) [14:13] is resizing a partition very risky? [14:14] How is a router issue going to exist only with Linux, in one type of connection? [14:14] charlie_: backup your files first and defragment before resizing [14:14] no that risky, so backup first before you proceed [14:14] Sounds like the router has a mind of its own and is being selective.. [14:14] bazhang, lol great response to ubuntulover [14:14] Alath, can you please try forcing the router's wireless speed to a particular speed? (5mb or so) [14:14] Or maybe i didnt get the answer i needed. [14:14] Ward1983: ah good. was worried for a second. [14:14] Charlie it can be , [14:14] And how would I do thaat? [14:14] I need to mount a .bin or .cue file, How can I do that, -not- .iso [14:15] cwillu: Alath: also has to do with how some wifi cards have the technical capability to be operated outside the frequency and power ranges they are licensed for and the firmware limits that operating range, so the manufacturer wants to keep people from modifying the firmware because thier lawyers think that to allow someone to do so could put the manufacturer in violation of law. [14:15] is cs 1.6 stream free for linux users ? [14:15] hey, installed 7.04, upgraded to 2.6.20-16-generic from 2.6.20-15-generic, updated to 7.10 which then installed 2.6.20-14-generic! is that right?

[14:15] Saint`Dia: use bchunk to convert (see ubotu's link) [14:15] Alath, it'd be an option somewhere on the 2wire configuration pages [14:16] o rly [14:16] I DONOT want to mount an .iso image. [14:16] Can anyone please help me with a collision between Creatives X-Fi 32-bit driver and my nVidia Geforce driver 3D-accelerator? :> [14:16] bazhang i dont have it [14:16] I know how to do that. [14:16] Saint`Dia: please read before responding [14:16] mlst then the answer would be no; and offtopic here thanks [14:16] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ImageMounting -- SAint'Dia [14:16] where are the scores for games such as mines stored ? [14:16] Saint`Dia: [14:16] i need more space on my ubuntu partition, so i wanna resize. should i use the one on the ubuntu live cd? or is there a better partitioner [14:17] cwillu: I'm back [14:17] hey, installed 7.04, upgraded to 2.6.20-16-generic from 2.6.20-15-generic, updated to 7.10 which then installed 2.6.20-14-generic! is that right? [14:17] gparted is fine [14:17] cwillu, there is no option at all to limit speed. [14:17] charlie_: for your purposes the livecd one should do; how space can you give it? [14:17] gparted being the one on the live cd? [14:17] my SHMConfig in xorg.conf doesn't work, anyone can help? every time after I restart, it says my resolution is too low and asks me to configure it, but it doens't, so I just choose "continue"; if I choose "config" the xorg.conf file will be changed. [14:17] bazhang, its normal that it doesnt start to write data right away right? it only made the directory and 3 files inside (excludes, packages and ver) [14:17] feaks> Thanks alot! Got Java working now. =) [14:17] hoi gozers [14:17] can one make a wallpaper span the compiz/nautilus desktop, ie. when it does that compiz switch on two desktops?

[14:18] Ward1983: does that link say anything about that? [14:18] any ideas on how to get around this? [14:18] moDumass: turn them off [14:19] is there anyway o pm? [14:19] moDumass: i know what's wrong [14:19] is there a channel or other place where thinkpad ubuntu users hang out? [14:19] void^: x [14:19] bazhang, how do i turn them off [14:19] Alath, is that an older model? 2wire doesn't have a 1700 listed on their site [14:19] moDumass: listen to me [14:19] !register | uin [14:19] uin: By default, only registered users can send private messages - Information about registering your nickname: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname.

How can the apt-get stuff be using it by default? [14:20] moDumass: you entered the proxy in System > Preferences > network proxies, right? [14:20] Its probably 2004-2005. [14:20] Small problem : My Desktop is randomly not loading on boot (no icons, no wallpaper, black background..) everything else works just fine. I can "fix" this with a relog or a gdm restart but i'd like to know if anyone ever heard of this before ? (i know at least one other person with the same problem, uses compiz and nvidia as me) [14:20] cwillu: I wanna say summat to you..... [14:20] magnetron i did indeed [14:20] say i want to install linux on a secondary harddisk, i have windows on a primary hdd already installed. during installation of linux, where should i install the grub boot loader, also, is it necessary to create a /boot partition in such a case? [14:20] TimMatrix, say wha? [14:20] cwillu: You're an absolute STAR!! The wireless WORKS at last, on my Toshiba Satellite Pro L40!!! A Big Thanks to you!!! [14:20] Hello, can someone help me with installing Wine? [14:20] moDumass: network tries to connect with the proxy in that field [14:20] !wine > darklingduck (read the private message from ubotu) [14:20] Alath, yeesh, I can't find anything on it [14:20] I'm unable to create a share..permissions error [14:20] moDumass: i mean, the update service tries to use that proxy. ie tor [14:20] ubuntu156-> on same partition where ubuntu is installed, not necessarily on the mbr [14:21] could someone help me, installed 7.04 ubuntu, upgraded to 2.6.20-16-generic from 2.6.20-15-generic, updated to 7.10 which then installed 2.6.20-14-generic! is that right? [14:21] moDumass: i set the proxy settings per application instead [14:21] amenado: i tried that, but the grub splash does not appear and boots straight into windows [14:21] bazhang, not that i can see no [14:21] magnetron yes [14:21] Alath, oooo, 1000 series, that could possibly be it :) [14:21] magnetron so how do i set system update to bypass the proxy or at least use the proxy? [14:21] ubuntu156-> thats because you have not modified your menu.lst correctly and also you have to make sure the matching device.map is okay [14:22] how do i add window on hardy heron GRUB? [14:22] magnetron, thanks for the help btw [14:22] !grub [14:22] grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [14:22] ubuntu156: try to manually choose on wich hdd it is booting (you should be able to do that with f12 or f11 during startup) [14:22] moDumass: clear the system > pref > network proxy setting. [14:22] which is installed in my second HDD [14:22] cwillu: Can't thank you enough. Really made my day. You're a credit to IRC Ubuntu room!!! :-D# [14:22] moDumass: set it in firefox instead. [14:22] !helpersnack | cwillu [14:22] cwillu: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [14:23] * cwillu eats his cookie [14:23] ^^ [14:23] TimMatrix, glad it worked for you [14:23] brb [14:23] bazhang, im fairly sure its normal though since /var/backup is still empty [14:23] can aony here access youtube.com [14:23] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem/SimpleBackupSuite Ward1983 dont know if this offers any more info [14:23] any here know if youtube is down [14:23] bazhang: no, I do not have eeePC, but using the eeePC wireless patch works on a Toshiba Satellite Pro L40, which apparently uses the same Atheros chipset as the one inside eeePC! [14:23] Does Hardy 32bit support 4Gb Ram [14:23] gop: down for me yeah [14:23] TimMatrix: glad to hear c willu got you going. nicely done [14:24] magnetron, ive set it to connect to the internet directly [14:24] thanks! I just came in to ask that xD [14:24] European-African: pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list [14:24] cbrowne wow [14:24] gop: Down for me too. [14:24] how can I restart proftpd if it has been started from inetd? [14:24] yeah, thanks bazhang. [14:24] thank fuck, I thought it was my ISP [14:24] bazhang, looks like thats the same content [14:24] cbrowne: language please [14:24] gop: works for me [14:24] apologies [14:24] jrib: ok will do, 1 min [14:24] Hey guys [14:24] magnetron, but system update still errors [14:24] scizzo- it does [14:24] it still tries to connect through localhost [14:24] wow [14:24] cwillu, how about the other issue. The firmware. How do I install or run that package thing? If I can get the devices working, i can probably just get my ISP to handle the internet crap if it is indeed the router. [14:25] scizzo- how are you acessing it ??? [14:25] leaving this room now. I thank you all for your super duper help. If anyone has the same problem, I'd be happy to help! See ya all soon. Have a lovely weekend. Byeeeeee [14:25] what can the roaming mode option in the network do? [14:25] Alath, found the option [14:25] ok [14:25] :D [14:25]  Does Hardy 32bit support 4Gb Ram [14:25] ? [14:25] gop: ummmmmm like I always do....with a browser [14:25] hi could anyone help me to setup my intel 945gm graphics card? [14:25] Alath, Home Network | Status at a Glance | Wireless, Edit Settings | Maximum Connection Rate [14:25] does anybody know some great program for taking screenshots? I want to take, crop, resize & convert screenshots fast. [14:26] I've tried looking for bigmem [14:26] sudo apt-cache search bigmem [14:26] no joy [14:26] EugZol_: I just use the Print Screen key [14:26] EugZol_, PrntScrn ;) [14:26] Alath, have you previously tried running ndiswrapper, or done anything with /etc/modules or /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist? [14:26] scizzo- I know how, but using ip or fqdn [14:26] file sharing is broken in 8.04 for me [14:26] EugZol_: there is a gnome screenshot app.. it won't resize or such.. but you've got some more options though [14:26] EugZol_: or just use GIMP [14:26] Hi all. Trying to install Hardy on an old laptop (compaq armada, I think it's a pentium III) and the installer hangs while "configuring system locales". Any clues? [14:27] gop: try video google then [14:27] msingh....smb file sharing for me to [14:27] gop: Hmm, looks like they have a dns issue, can't resolve youtube.com or www.youtube.com here. [14:27] magnetron, in synaptic i set network to "direct connect to the internet" and its still throwing its toys [14:27] umbrualbert, you need to run the server kernel [14:27] gop: and see if you can access that....also is it actually the site or the vids? [14:27] Lynet wow [14:27] umbrualbert, it'll still only report 3gb, but it will use 4gb (just 3gb max per process) [14:27] Slart: I'm using these now. But I have no pleasure while using Gimp for such tasks. Something lightweight could be better :-( [14:27] 208.65.152.201 [14:27] cwillu- the maximum connect rate thing is not there [14:27] also.. i have not done anything [14:27] Alath, one sec [14:27] dns1.sjl.youtube.com. 172800 IN A 208.65.152.201 dns2.sjl.youtube.com. 172800 IN A 208.65.152.137 [14:27] Anyone have any experience with the HP LJ 3050 or the HP LJ M1120 printers? I'm trying to choose between the two. I'd like the M1120, but the other has better support in Ubuntu. [14:27] hello [14:28] cwillu:...mmmm...ok, how do I vverufy this [14:28] Alath, can you download http://www.2wire.com/pages/pdfs/2Wire_1000_User_Guide.pdf [14:28] I have a question regarding sd card partitions [14:28] verify [14:28] Alath, and look at page 32, and see if that's the same as you're looking at? [14:28] ok [14:28] umbrualbert, wtf is wrong with it? i was using an old beta for a while and it was fine .. they just broke it in the release it seems [14:28] ahhh youtube ip http://208.65.153.251/ === gurpreet is now known as glin [14:28] hi could anyone help me to setup my intel 945gm graphics card? [14:28] * cwillu has really grown to hate 2wire routers since the local isp's started using them a few years ago [14:28] the thing is - I created 2 partitions on an SD-card - but Nautilus still shows previous partitions - [14:28] jenda: I always like Brother printers for Linux support myself. [14:28] how can I refresh that information === gnomefre1k is now known as gnomefreak [14:29] msingh:...I found smbfs was dropped, -> apt-get install smbfs [14:29] but this will only fix mounting of smb shares [14:29] ok how di I restart the inetd so that it could read edits that I have made in the /etc/services file? [14:29] umbrualbert, smbfs is deprecated [14:29] jrib: ok have done: http://pastebin.com/m658d4cdc [14:29] wonder if dd-wrt would work on that 2wire router [14:29] pajamian: I'll check them out. [14:29] pajamian: thanks [14:29] cwillu .. different [14:29] smbfs is deprecated?? [14:29] pajamian: any particular MFP laser model? [14:30] anybody knows how to force (nautilus?) to reread partition information of an SD-card [14:30] umbrualbert, if you're in gnome, just use nautiluses smb:// system (gvfs-fuse will let any old app use gnome urls after you've connected to them via ~/.gvfs) [14:30] * cwillu sighs (Alath, ) [14:30] if the problem is this router.. ill get my ISP to solve it. I need to get that firmware thing taken care of. [14:30] Alath, how different? :p [14:30] Can you help me with that. ;p [14:30] jenda: don't know the laser models, I have the DCP-540CN (inkjet) but they do seem to have great service for Linux, as in GPLed linux drivers for all thier printers. [14:30] sure [14:31] I just need to know how to run it, or where it is. And ill do it [14:31] Alath, synaptic, install b43-fwcutter [14:31] umbrualbert, smbfs is obsolete isnt it? [14:31] European-African: so run 'sudo apt-get update', then run 'apt-cache policy linux-generic && apt-cache search -n linux generic' and paste the results [14:31] Synaptic?

[14:31] i have no idea whatt apt-get is [14:31] umbrualbert, bah :-/ how annoying [14:32] hi how i get install moblock on linux ubuntu 8.04 ?? amd64 bit [14:32] umbrualbert, if you _must_ have actual mounts, use cifs (same protocol) [14:32] pajamian: nevermind - they seem to be rather unavailable on the Czech market :) [14:32] talk to me like im ignorant [14:32] cause i am [14:32] Does anyone know of any .debs for a PGO optimized firefox3B5 on gutsy? [14:32] ;) [14:32] jenda: oh well :-( [14:32] umbrualbert, but if it's just for desktop use, then just use gnome urls [14:32] hi how i get install moblock on linux ubuntu 8.04 ?? amd64 bit [14:32] Alath, System | administration | synaptic package manager, find b43-fwcutter, install it, follow the prompts :p [14:32] ? [14:32] cwillu: is there a fix for sharing [14:32] ok ty [14:32] !apt | Alath [14:32] Alath: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit.

[14:34] Hi all. Trying to install Xubuntu / Hardy on an old laptop (compaq armada, I think it's a pentium III) and the installer hangs while "configuring system locales". Any clues? [14:34] alright [14:34] ty again [14:34] Ok, now how do I play .iso files? [14:34] bbl [14:34] umbrualbert, okay, lets start over; what are you doing exactly? [14:34] stib how much ram and is this the livecd [14:34] I'm trying to change my screen resolution. I can't seem to do it through GDM (I get a prompt saying it can't handle canges at runtime) I'm using 8.04 and an Nvidia card. Any help? === gsb is now known as gsb23 [14:34] umbrualbert, they removed shares-manager and replaced it with nautilus-share .. which doesnt work .. what a great move :P [14:35] hi, for some reason, in my hardy install, sounds in flash player always fall out of sync of the movie even from the beginning [14:35] msingh, shares-manager had it's share of issues :p [14:35] it worked though [14:36] hardy is seriously retarded.. a lot of stuff i cannot do because i am not root .. and because i am not root it wont even let me see those things i cannot do [14:36] hello people [14:36] BoltClock, short answer, wait a couple months; sound and flash right now are in a bad state [14:36] msingh: can you be more specific...? [14:36] msingh, sudo? [14:36] jrib, like shares. [14:36] msingh: you know about sudo? [14:36] cwillu: bad state? [14:36] cwillu, sudo doesnt help because i am not logged in graphically as root, am i? sudo is for terminal [14:36] msingh: you are talking about samba? [14:37] jrib, atm, yeah [14:37] msingh: gksudo, then [14:37] jrib: ok have done. [14:37] msingh, I hope we're not talknig about the unlock buttons, they're an improvement over not being able to run the tool except as root in the first place [14:37] msingh: have you seen the wiki guide on setting it up? [14:37] folks, anyone know the recommended practice into what folder usplash themes should be put? Into the home or otherwise? [14:37] European-African: did you pastebin the result? [14:37] I have a router with 3 computers connected on it. I always had an internal IP 192.168.1.4 where I have set different port settings etc. How do I set my internal IP on ubuntu 7.10 to 192.168.1.4 so that it can listen to the different ports I have set on my router? [14:37] pajamian, you miss the point. if the menus dont show non-user items them gsudo doesnt help [14:37] jrib: yes [14:37] European-African: link? [14:37] msingh, you can run gksu to run any graphical app as root, and any admin tool in the menus' that needs root handles it already [14:37] http://pastebin.com/m3d57eca9 [14:37] jrib, why should i need a wiki guide now when i didnt need one before in 7.10? that's not an improvement that's a step or 10 backwards [14:38] take0n-> you use static ip addresssing.. ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.4 something like this [14:38] msingh: what menu and what non-user item do you want to be able to see? [14:38] Cwillu, doesnt matter man.. i can run any app as root. you're missing the point [14:38] BoltClock, adobe's flashplayer has a nasty bug that crashes firefox once in a while if we turn on the proper audio support for it [14:38] pajamian, sharing stuff [14:38] msingh, ubuntu doesn't hide menu options based on the user [14:38] msingh: can you be more specific? [14:38] msingh: if you want to discuss usability issues, that's for the bug tracker. If you want support with an issue, then I can try to give you links so that you can accomplish what you are trying to do [14:38] cwillu: think i should switch to another, like gnash? [14:39] BoltClock, well, gnash has its share of issues (although those may improve really quick now that adobe opened the flash specs) [14:39] jrib, the wiki is probably not for 8.04 .. i never needed the wiki for older ubuntu releases so that's unlikely to be helpful [14:39] http://markusthielmann.com/blog/defusing_one_most_annoying_bugs_ubuntu_hardy_heron_stop_flash_killing_firefox BoltClock [14:39] Hello all, I am looking for help triple booting... [14:39] msingh: maybe, but you won't know for sure with that attitude of course [14:39] pajamian, i want to share some directories and unable to [14:39] bazhang: I think it's got 256Mb and yes, it's the live CD [14:39] hi, i have a wireless adapter controlled by ndiswrapper and the correct driver, but I cannot find any tool for automatically scan cordless network, does any know one??? === fdd-0 is now known as fdd [14:40] pajamian: thanks anyway :) [14:40] msingh-> we seem can not help you with that kind of attitude, you have already made up your mind [14:40] jrib, ok let's try, but the prior probability of success is very low [14:40] European-African: check that linux-headers-2.6.22-14-generic is installed. See it's also available [14:40] !samba > msingh (read the private message from ubotu) [14:40] bazhang: libflashsupport was the very thing that got sound working in flash for me [14:40] stib: did you md5sum the iso [14:40] back then flash wouldnt even play it at all [14:40] openuser-> try iwconfig wlan0 scan [14:40] jrib, reading. [14:40] what does the roaming mode do? [14:40] jrib: ok thanx [14:40] msingh: my shared directories work just fine in hardy. [14:40] msingh, (sorry if you already tried this); in nautilus, if you right click a folder in your home directory, does Sharing Options show up? [14:40] jrib, that document was last edited in february. before hardy. like i said. [14:41] balle_: looks for the best available hotspot [14:41] cwillu, yes i tried that. [14:41] no, but I did check the CD after the first attempt failed [14:41] hi guys - can you tell me which folder would be best to copy usplash themes? [14:41] thanks amenado [14:41] balle_-> it attempts to control your network management.. [14:41] bazhang: no, but I did check the CD after the first attempt failed [14:41] msingh, in your home directory? [14:41] European-African: if it is installed, just make sure you are selecting that one from grub [14:41] bazhang: and logs on it self and stuff like that? [14:41] Wow........... I'll come back later when it's not so busy. o.O [14:41] I have another question. How do I browse to a folder (not through terminal but through nautilous (I think it's called) with root permissions? I have installed apache but when I browse to var/www I have no permission creating or deleting files... [14:41] balle_: not sure what you mean by stuff like that --could you clarify please [14:41] Cwillu, well the stupid thing here is that i cannto enable sharing as a user -- i have to be root -- but there is no way in nautilus to say, i want to be root now to enable this share [14:42] amenado: and there's no a gui app, I'm saying it because the computer will be used by a person who doesn't know so much about computers [14:42] that's why i think it is broken [14:42] can someone tell me which ports require opening for apache2 webserver with guarddog, other than 80 ? === liEta_cuTe is now known as gadis [14:42] hiii [14:42] take0n, it's best not to, but you can in theory run gksu nautilus to get a root nautilus [14:42] oh true thank you!! [14:42] Hello all, I would like to add Ubuntu to my setup. I already have Windows XP 32bit and Vista 64-bit on two partitions on the same IDE drive. [14:42] bazhang: hmmm actually my issue is with sound falling out of sync, firefox hasnt crashed due to flash player yet [14:42] wolfwalker: that might be a long wait; best to highlight the person you are talking to and dont worry about the number of people [14:42] jrib: ok it is installed. thanx alot for the help [14:43] I have just bought an external USB drive and would like to install Ubuntu on that... [14:43] will use that from grub [14:43] openuser sometimes the end user has to do simple things...and thats fairly simple, just encourage them to do so [14:43] jrib, do you see my point? [14:43] msingh: I don't know what you are referring to, I just shared my Music folder from nautilus as a user in hardy and didn't have any problems. [14:43] in windows you have a "program files" folder is there such thing in ubuntu? I mean where all programs are located? (I want to edit conf files of apache php mysql etc) [14:43] Is there anything I should be paying attention to? [14:43] ? [14:43] BoltClock: seems that adobe has some fixing to more than what is already documented then [14:43] 大家好 [14:43] hello [14:43] msingh, that would probably work for you as well (gksu nautilus), but there's something else broken in your install if it doesn't Just Work already.

[14:44] jrib, suppose i am user .. i go find a directory i wanna share, right click and change the sharing settings -- these cannot take effect because i am not root. nowhere in that dialogue does it allow me to change into root permissions temporarily. hence it is BROKEN.

There's something wrong (dbus'sy or hal'y) if it doesn't [14:45] I'm loosing it [14:45] cwillu, well mate, i dont want to share stuff in my home directory... [14:45] msingh, whoa, [14:45] cwillu, who would want to do that anyway? [14:45] So if I partition an SD-card either using fdisk or gparted [14:45] wats the ubuntu alternative to interVideo WinDVD player to play DVDs? [14:45] msingh, did it work in your home directory or no? [14:46] and then format it accordingly [14:46] home directories are for user files and things; i want to share movies. who keeps movies in their home directory?

[14:46] msingh, but it that works, then we're on a different topic, which is actually fairly easy [14:46] Hello all, I would like some help triple-booting my system. [14:46] !enter | exco [14:46] cwillu, i dont care about home directory.. this is a fresh install there is no home directory to speak of [14:46] exco: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [14:46] firefox seems like it hogs memory [14:46] 200mb for 4 windows [14:47] msingh, seriously, I'm trying to help. But I need you to do as I say, so we can figure out what works and what doesn't. If sharing works in your home dir (even an empty dir), then we're going down a different path than if even _that_ doesn't work [14:47] Will Ubuntu 64 - bit automatically recognise my two existing Windows installations (Windows XP 32-bit and Vista 64-bit)? [14:47] bazhang: do you think it's a memory issue? === garulfounix is now known as GarulfoUnix [14:47]  Sotrmcr0w: A better question to ask is if Grub will. [14:47] Sotrmcr0w, it should, yes [14:47] cwillu, suppose it works, how does that help? [14:48] ok so I partition a SD card (gparted || fdisk) - then format it to let's say partiton 1 -> fat32 , partition 2 -> ext3 [14:48] when I copy to either of those afterwards -> files disappear after replugging it (wtf?) [14:48] msingh, it means your samba install isn't borked, so I tell you to run gksu nautilus (with a stern warning about making a habit of that, and a recommendation to learn to edit the smb.conf file instead) [14:48] stib this is a dual boot or ubuntu only [14:48] stib it might be [14:48] bazhang: ubuntu only [14:48] msingh, I told you the same thing a while back, but I'm not sure you saw it :p [14:48] Cwillu, that's a non solution; but as it is, i've run nautilus as root and done just that [14:49] I just want to add... I intend to install Ubuntu on an external drive (Actually a SATA drive within a USB connected enclosure). The other two systems are both on the same physical drive, but on separate partitions. [14:49] it didnt work :/ [14:49] Do you think that would be ok? [14:49] why break soemthing that was working!! [14:49] What plugin do I need to watch videos on dailymotion? [14:49] hardy fails :/ [14:49] so is samba the only way to network now? [14:49] bazhang: so I should just stick with gutsy (it runs ok) [14:49] stib you might consider fluxbuntu (fully configured flux, not flux on top of ubuntu added) is much lighter [14:49] msingh, because gnome-vfs was broken in far worse ways [14:49] so I guess noone knows? [14:49] stib if gutsy runs well for you then that is always a good option [14:49] jtravnick: I only use ssh and nfs [14:49] Sotrmcr0w, just inbstalling ubuntu to a external usb drive.. can be. tricky. Not sure if the installer works better now under hardy then it used to. [14:49] gvfs has in a year become more stable than gnome-vfs is after 3 or 4 years [14:50] msingh, ^^^ [14:50] are emerald themes available for hardy compiz? [14:50] cwillu, small confort at this point [14:50] msingh, nautilus admin functions weren't even possible before, but will almost certainly be in the next gnome release [14:50] Preciso de alguem que consiga colocar o meu wifi para funcionar...Alguem se habilita [14:50] ? [14:50] Bazhang: oh ta. I'll give that a burl. Flux as in fluxbox? [14:50] Do you have any suggestions as to what I should check? [14:50] If I perhaps launch the installation from within Vista? === Cosmosan is now known as Cosmo-san [14:50] stib let me get you a link hang on [14:50] cwillu, shares manager was fine.. it worked.. it was simple and easy and it worked.. it worked ... why change it [14:51] how can I force reread of SD-card partition table? [14:51] msingh, it was also broken in several ways [14:51] ere4si, how did you set it up in hardy? When i go to share on a folder all it wants to do is install windows sharing [14:51] msingh, system-config-samba will do what you want I think === Sotrmcr0w is now known as Stormcr0w [14:51] msingh, because it didn't work for alot of people [14:51] http://wiki.fluxbuntu.org/index.php?title=Get stib [14:51] I'm on gutsy, and when I use the gnome-search-tool, it won't find hidden files or files in hidden folders. If I go under "available" options, the "show hidden files and folders" option is grayed out. How do I search them then? [14:52] cwillu, my experience doesnt accept that.. it always worked for me and this isnt.. [14:52] bazhang: ripper! I'll go get it now [14:52] jtravnick: nfs mounts files like they are on the comp - it isn't "sharing" so to speak [14:52] how can I force reread of SD-card partition table? [14:52] msingh, if you're not interested in things changing, then stay on a particular version until it's not supported any more. [14:52] hey anyone, I removed firefox-3 and installed firefox-2, then i reinstalled gcjwebplugin, and when I run firefox on a site with java all i get is a light blue box where the java applet is supposed to be [14:52] ere4si, the killer is i know i did SFTP on the wifes fedora box but dont remember how i did it [14:53] msingh, (you got that bit about system-config-samba, right?) [14:53] msingh: indeed if the old one worked just stick with it-->newer is not always better, right? [14:53] exco: partprobe should be able to do that. [14:53] cwillu, it doesnt run. gives some python error [14:53] bazhang, nah [14:54] jtravnick: try this - http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2005/10/28/how-to-mount-a-remote-ssh-filesystem-using-sshfs/ [14:54] ere4si, thanks [14:54] dubby: that was it? did you move the plugins from firefox three to firefox two? or just hoped they would work [14:54] k [14:54] bazhang-> i learned from this channel, people once they make up their minds, they just dont want to change [14:54] i just reinstalled ubuntu and when i log into x i just get a white screen but when i do a ctrl+alt+backspace my desktop background flashes up for a second [14:55] amenado: too true ;] [14:55] msingh, probably the best reason for dropping the old config dialog is the inability to protect a root window from having its privileges hijacked by any other app on the same display [14:55] so i just let em bad mouth..nothing helps [14:55] cwillu, small comfort mate :( [14:55] cwillu: the very man! :) [14:55] msingh, there's alot of work going into fixing those holes, because there's alot of them [14:56] bazhang: I did nothing i removed firefox-3 from synaptic, installed firefox-2 in synaptic, then installed gcjwebplugin also in synaptic, when using firefox-2 on a java embeded sight all i get is a light blue box [14:56] laeg, you're having compiz issues [14:56] msingh: this is linux-->diy :) [14:56] cwillu, well i wont be using hardy anymore for a server if i cannot even share files [14:56] laeg, what chipset?

[15:02] Jokka, dpkg-reconfigure <-plow (optionally)> will give you a bunch of configuration options, although most of them can also be set via /etc or the admin menus [15:03] Jokka, don't kill the package manager while it's running :p [15:03] yeah beta 2 sucks, but that's the only one i can get to install [15:03] Jokka, just run dpkg --configure -a, and it'll finish where it left off [15:03] amenado: Thanks, I know how to do it with find, but I'm looking for a GUI. :) [15:03] kk [15:03] bhsx is that from vmware site? [15:03] bhsx: You're having problems building the kernel modules in other VMware releases, right? [15:03] bhsx: You need vmware-any-any-update116 [15:03] yup [15:03] Bazhang: What do you mean? [15:03] ty wyzard [15:03] . [15:04] trident523: Thanks I'll check it out. Do you know anything about Beagle? I've only heard of it, haven't tried it. [15:04] Stormcr0w: about what-->specify please [15:04] John_S, there should be an option "Show hidden and backup files" [15:04] amenado bazhang: gcj was the "preferred package" [15:04] according to synaptic [15:04] John_S: Well, I tried using beagle a while ago, and it didn't work out for me... I'm organized enough that I don't want to wait for stuff to index to find it. [15:04] hello [15:04] bazhang: When I asked regarding known issues when installing on a USB drive [15:04] !hi | alex1990 [15:04] alex1990: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [15:05] it is my first time [15:05] bazhang: I have got an external USB enclosure with a SATA drive running within. [15:05] !ask [15:05] 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. :-) [15:05] cwillu: Yes, but even when I enable that, it still won't search in my .folders. [15:05] dubby-> i'd change that to sun java, preferred java by adobe is sun java [15:05] bazhang: I intend to install Ubuntu on it [15:05] John_S, :/ you're right [15:05] Stormcr0w: I asked then about usb key (pendrive) or hdd (hard disk drive), as both are possible [15:05] bazhang: Ah ok. [15:05] Stormcr0w: some of the usb keys (pendrives) are 16GB now ;] [15:05] cwillu: Must be a bug. Wish they would fix it! [15:05] John_S, I think tracker has an option to handle that, but I don't know for sure (not running it right now) [15:06] i:( [15:06] bazhang: Of course... No, it is an actual SATA drive within a USB interfaced enclosure [15:06] alex1990: just go ask it and if someone knows, they'll answer [15:06] cwillu: Yes, trident523 recommended tracker, I'm going to give it a try. [15:06] ubuntu is bad [15:06] anybody in here that has configured a blackberry device as gprs modem in linux? [15:06] alex1990: wtf [15:06] cwillu: one more question re: wireless query. No, it's not a problem with the wireless (that's working, now), but the auto-login. [15:06] alex1990 wrong [15:06] John_S: I can't find files in my . folders, aparrently. I don't see a true option to do that. [15:06] But I have XP and Vista already installed on two partitions of an internal IDE drive [15:07] bazhang: But I have XP and Vista already installed on two partitions of an internal IDE drive [15:07] trident523: You mean with Tracker? [15:07] bazhang: I am wondering whether attempting to triple boot can work [15:07] anybody in here that has configured a blackberry device as gprs modem in linux?

Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [15:07] John_S, trident523, I just got gnome to search it! [15:07] bazhang: is there something I need to pay attention to, while installing? [15:08] John_S, give me a sec to nail down which option it was [15:08] bah [15:08] * cwillu laughs [15:08] John_S, okay, open the places | search [15:08] amenado: what package exactly should I install ? (after uninstalling gcjwebplugin) [15:08] Hi guys [15:09] hmm so sharing isnt officially supported in hardy? [15:09] John_S, select more options | and select show hidden and backup files. And then (important!) hit the add button :p [15:09] Stormcr0w: should be allright let me find a link [15:09] unless you know to "apt-get install X" you wont and cannot have sharing [15:09] bazhang: Oh great, thanks... [15:09] What is the most lightweight torrent program u guys have ever used? the one that uses the least amount of resources? [15:09] hi guys i just upgraded to heron, now my wirelesss internet no longer works [15:09] msingh: sharing over what service? [15:09] any ideas? [15:09] trident523, file sharing [15:09] John_S, got that? [15:09] I managed to change the port of apache and my internal IP address and it works. I can see my website at 192.168.1.4 but when I enter my IP address instead I am not able to see the page. Other people are able though. How can I fix this so that I can see the page by entering my IP address (not the internal one) [15:09] trident523, like samba [15:09] fluidd: μtorrent [15:09] fluidd: transmission [15:09] fluidd: rtorrent by a mile and a half [15:09] TimMatrix, what's the autologin problem? [15:09] Hm. I'll try utorrent. I've been using transmission, but it peaks a lot.

[15:10] take0n: i think you need to setup your router [15:10] right, my wife is happy that Ubuntu now works on wireless and wants me to get rid of Vista (I'm happy she said that!). Before I do this, I have set up another user name for my wife. She's on a limited user, as don't want her to tinker with Ubuntu in administration mode as yet. Having said that. I wanted to test whether upon powering up Ubuntu, logged in her name/password and the wireless should automatically connect to the internet. It did not. You ha [15:10] trident523, not officially supported. [15:10] fluidd, deluge is a nice polished client without the peakiness problems of transmission [15:10] dubby-> try sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk and then you have to play around with update-alternatives to set this as your default [15:10] Sorry, this one's for cwillu.

Thanks for finding my mistake! :) [15:11] !appdb > sortudo_78 [15:11] me_: No, hardy fixed my wireless.

One last question: I have 4GB of RAM and I am installing Ubuntu on a 160GB drive... [15:11] hi..i have allowed pop-up for a site in my mozilla browser..how to block it again? [15:11] i need help i am using version 7.10 and just installed emerald theme manager but how do i get it to use those themes? [15:11] TimMatrix, honestly, it'll probaby be fine to give her an admin account (it'll always ask for her password anyway, so it's very clear when you're getting into stuff that you're likely to break) [15:11] bazhang: What should be the size of the swap partition? [15:11] problem is without internet its gonna be a pain to fix, im in xp now [15:12] tj401: Ok installing, thanls [15:12] at least xp just works [15:12] how do I add korganizer to my Application Menu? [15:12] TimMatrix, re: wireless, you'll probably need to connect to it under her account if it needs a password (passwords are stored per account) [15:12] Stormcr0w: sounds really nice; come back if you have issues--about 2gb maybe? (for swap) [15:12] cwillu: okay. will do that, but how to make it auto-login instead of manual. [15:12] led: you need to use compiz and emerald theme manager [15:12] I successfully installed it (totally by luck) [15:12] TimMatrix, or not use network manager, but it's not worth the pain [15:12] TimMatrix, wireless you mean? [15:12] i have compiz [15:12] passwords are stored per account? okay, thanks. I will test that out. [15:12] Stormcr0w: 512 MB should be more than enough, and don't be surprised if you only see 3,6 G of ram when not using 64 bit or a PAE enabled kernel [15:12] is anyone else having problems with firefox3 in hardy? how do i go about installing an older version? [15:12] hi..i have allowed pop-up for a site in my mozilla browser..how to block it again?

For instance, I would like to exclude my NTFS mounted partition from my search; any way to do this with the gnome-search-tool or similar? [15:14] Stormcr0w, the swap=ram * 2 rule was never a good rule of thumb, but it _was_ popular [15:14] me_: what is the chipset [15:14] hi..i have allowed pop-up for a site in my mozilla firefox browser..how to block it again? [15:14] John_S, by default, it doesn't search across file systems [15:14] q: there is this really annoying buzzing sound coming from my speakers, it escalates when i use the scrollbar in various applications, what is this? [15:14] John_S: unmount it [15:14] can anyone resolve the youtube.com domain? ie, host youtube.com [15:14] cwillu: on my other laptop, I keep inputting the network key, if my son wants to use the internet. I logged it in using his name, but keeps asking for the network key. THis is annoying. Same here with my wife's laptop. Would network manager help? You say this isn't good? [15:14] solid_liq: no [15:14] John_S, there's another option to enable searching across filesystems [15:14] bazhang: amd athlon 64 [15:14] all: cool, I'll stick with 2GB for swap, then [15:14] jrib, so it's not my local dns server then, thanks [15:15] hello@all.. since 8.04 my num-block doesn't work. did anyone have a similar problem? [15:15] gajan it's kinda busy here you can ask in #firefox if you don't get an answer here [15:15] solid_liq: no, youtube is down for me too [15:15] TimMatrix, you aren't using network manager? (aka, the tray icon?) [15:15] hi..i have allowed pop-up for a site in my mozilla firefox browser..how to block it again? [15:15] Stormcr0w: if you are not going to hibernate the system you'll only need swap for the sake of completeness. For hibernate you'll need size of ram + size of vram and then some to be on the safe side [15:15] John_S, find /directory ( -path "*ntfs_directory*" -prune) -o -print [15:15] me_ for the wireless [15:15] cwiillu: when i run dpkg-reconfigue it's not giving me the autodetect option (7.04) [15:15] cwillu: nope. [15:15] solid_liq: youtube works fine here [15:15] thanx skiessi [15:15] gajan: look in the preferences dialog [15:15] bazhang: oh sorry, Belkin Wireless G [15:15] John_S, actually. find /directory \( -path "*ntfs_directory*" -prune \) -o -print [15:15] cwillu: It unfortunately does I think, because if I search at root level / then it finds the mounted partition in /mnt/hda1. Correct? [15:15] bazhang, did you try going to a page that wasn't already open in your browser? [15:15] me_ you in the livecd now? [15:15] stefg: ok, then 5GB, just in case I do decide to hibernate at some point in time [15:15] stefg, Stormcr0w, you need _some_ swap, but as stefg said, you don't need much unless you're planning to hibernate [15:15] bazhang, I just found this: http://mashable.com/2006/08/15/youtube-down/ [15:16] John_S, which, gnome search? [15:16] cwillu: what does network manager's icon look like? [15:16] solid_liq: just loaded the site when you asked [15:16] bazhang, k thanks [15:16] TimMatrix, the thing beside the clock that shows all the access points when you click on it [15:16] unop: Thanks--I'll give that a try, but it would be nice to do with the GUI. [15:16] Stormcr0w: sounds reasonable, if you don't miss the hd space [15:16] nah, I've got another TB on my other discs [15:16] solid_liq: you want to dl youtube? get youtube-dl in the Hardy repos [15:16] cwillu: Just the Places > Search for Files (the gnome-search-tool) [15:16] John_S, perhaps but i don't use gnome [15:16] Stormcr0w, you could always add a swap _file_ if you decided to hibernate later [15:17] how do I add korganizer to my Application Menu? [15:17] Yes, it is showing a llist of wireless accesses, with manual configurations, etc. [15:17] cwillu: which interface do I use to do that? [15:17] bazhang, heh no, was just clicking on a video [15:17] Stormcr0w, contrary to popular believe, swap files are almost as efficient as swap partitions (the kernel handles them differently than just reading files normally) [15:17] cwillu: ouch, i don't think ubuntu supports that... read something about that on some mailing list [15:17] cwillu: forgot to put your name in front. See above. [15:17] solid_liq: ah okay misunderstood my bad [15:17] TimMatrix, 8.04? [15:18] solid_liq: youtube just got back for me, afaict they had some problems with their dns servers but seems like it has been fixed. [15:18] imaginativeone: right click the applications menu and add [15:18] cwillu: yes, 8.04 [15:18] hello [15:18] stefg, swapfiles at all? [15:18] thanx babolat its done [15:18] stefg could have sworn I've used them before [15:18] bazhang: Belkin Wireless G V4000 [15:18] TimMatrix, :/ I thought they fixed that :( [15:18] me__: you in the livecd now--> can troubleshoot this right now or you are going to boot into ubuntu later [15:18] ere4si: no dice [15:19] hello, i've got a question - how to change the sound output in SB Audigy from digital to normal output? [15:19] cwillu: of course you manually set up a swap file, but this is officially unsupported, because it *breaks* hibernation [15:19] what's the package name with gcc and related libraries/headers? [15:19] bazhang: im in xp at the moment [15:19] John_S, by default, locate doesn't include anything in /media, and the gnome tool doesn't cross device boundaries by default [15:19] i have updated from 7.10 to 8.04 and my packages have been broken and my network nolonger works can anyone help me please [15:19] cwillu: interesting... Perhaps the network manager is off? Or am I mistaken. Is there a program somewhere to set up again? [15:19] I'm getting a "C compiler cannot create executables" [15:19] me_any way to get ethernet on that and troubleshoot from the livecd? [15:19] and][ng: build-essential [15:19] troughton: same problem [15:19] jrib: thanks [15:19] John_S, in gconf-editor, apps | gnome-search, you can specifically blacklist dirs, but I don't think it's needed [15:19] imaginativeone: there is a menu eitor in the control center [15:19] and][ng: what are you compiling anyway? [15:19] TimMatrix, no, that's network manager you're using [15:19] jrib: magic vlsi tool [15:19] and][ng, install the build-essential package [15:20] when i installed hardy it did not install firefox-2. i have just installed firefox-2 via synaptic yet it runs ff3 instead [15:20] troughton: upgrades suck [15:20] and][ng: Do you have build-essential? [15:20] TimMatrix, passwords get stored in the keyring, and it sounds like its not working for you for some reason [15:20] Everyone: Thanks for your help. I'll try it out and will be back if I run into trouble... [15:20] Wyzard: thanks a bunch, the any-any-116 patch did the trick... i was having troubles installing my raw disk (real) install of XP with virtualbox... vmware can do it flawlessly (though not seamlessley:( ) [15:20] jrib: not me, a friend, on xp, with vmplayer's 8.04 image [15:20] goodluck storm [15:20] cwillu: okay, what's next? [15:20] jrib: so I can't say anything, and he is a linux primer [15:20] TimMatrix, honestly, not sure [15:20] bazhang: I don;t actually have a livecd for 8.01, I upgraded from within 7 [15:20] TimMatrix, does it work if you give them admin?

Thanks for clarifying that. :) [15:21] Tom74, if you have a firefox 3 open then running a firefox 2 opens a new window in it [15:21] cwillu: I will try that, too/ [15:21] hello@all.. since 8.04 my num-block doesn't work. did anyone have a similar problem?# [15:21] Can anyone help me getting an ssh server running?

I can "fix" this with a relog or a gdm restart but i'd like to know if anyone ever heard of this before ? (i know at least one other person with the same problem, uses compiz and nvidia as me) [16:34] neo_: I figured it out. I'm a retard. Thanks for the help. [16:34] SilverStreak: yeah, i know... well known problem, but a consequence of vendor lock in. So the only cure is using an open, well implemented cross platform format or spend big buck on x-over office and a copy of ms-office (which supports the wrongdoers even more) [16:34] cwillu it is still not working [16:34] POVaddct, :) [16:34] no prob Trizzle [16:34] neo_: Is there a image for kernel 2.6.22.-17 on repos?

[16:35] sisif, go to administration and software sources. check all 4 boxes under the tab "updates" [16:35] i have a question: after upgrading to hardy, my mounted samba shares no longer show up in the "places" menu [16:35] Cowlol: it may be possible to re-install some packages [16:36] does anyone have any idea why ? [16:36] they are mounted in fstab [16:36] Cowlol: let me see [16:36] After updating, all I now get when trying to start ubuntu is whitescreen.... I guess it has something to do with those kernelupdates? How do I fix that? [16:36] cwillu; sorry missed what you were trying to do, was it install a wireless card? [16:36] Hi guys, downloaded drivers for my nvidia card from their website, came in a ".run" package, I followed their instructions, set it to be able to be run as an executable, double click the file on the desktop, where upon it opens a terminal, starts to run the package, but then comes up with a message saying that I need to be the root user to run it, I've spent a fair while reading documentation and forums, because I've been using l [16:36] inux for, oh, 4 days now, so I'm aware that I shouldn't need to use the root user, can someone help me find the correct way to do this using sudo?

[18:31] Hey , I have an m3u playlist that I want to burn to cd ... what is the best program to use here [18:31] Brasero crashes every time I try to do it [18:31] hb: no, I guess its 8 buttons on this mouse, including mouse wheel [18:31] damntourists: http://www.lightscribe.com/downloadsection/linux/index.aspx?id=1372 [18:31] ubuntu 8.04, exception emask, ata2 frozen error.

[18:32] what metroside?! ^^ [18:32] so :( [18:32] ? [18:32] what should I paste where?! :D [18:33] diranacola: i would suggest flashing ios only as very last ressort as chances are that this puts your mobo completely out of order [18:33] norv: Well 64 bit has a memory limit - although it is much higher [18:33] norv: something like 32 TB [18:33] I've been trying forever to get this dang playlist to burn [18:33] damntourists: there is a certain order you need to install them [18:33] there a gui tool to change bit colors? [18:33] If here there are Russian people please visit #ubuntu-ru the channel [18:33] hey, did you see this link? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_mIUCmZ7X0 [18:33] I think it's more like 4GB hb [18:33] diranacola: and my educated guess is that its not likely that your issue is bios related [18:33] oops, nevermind again [18:33] mhiku: not here please [18:34] Zyrando; run the command "iwconfig" and if it is possible you can paste the output in the site pastebin.com you can then send a link to the group so we can look at the info [18:34] I was trying to make a file server last night (drunk) and im pretty sure i was trying to add a mount to fstab and something went wrong because now ubuntu is scanning my drive and then its asking me for the root password or press ctrl + D (but that just restarts) [18:34] remoteCTRL: yeah, you're right, ug what a waste of time this has been, all for a mythtv box - guess I'll sell 'er and start over :) [18:34] i have update manager updating to hardy heron in my righthand workspace but i'm unable to access it from the left [18:34] ahh.. cool.. [18:34] If here there are Russian people please visit #ubuntu-ru the channel [18:34] will do it but have to restart... [18:34] Anyone know why I can't put my atheros card in master mode? [18:34] only have internet with windows?! ^^' [18:34] nevermind i can see the preview in ctrl+alt+tab and it's not finished yet [18:34] so cu next time :D [18:34] wabkia: can you fix your fstab? [18:35] diranacola: you can easily exclude the ram stones by extracting them one by one from the machine... [18:35] ok guys, I'm using ndisgtk? and trying to install a windows driver, do I point it to the .ini? I don't have any .inf files [18:35] i dont think the problem is with fstab [18:35] anyone know how to get a g15 keyboard to work in ubuntu? I've followed some tutorials, but can't seem to get it to work [18:35] remoteCTRL: you think it could be just one of those causing it? [18:35] but i mean, what would i do [18:35] boot to live cd? [18:35] why is not color depth in the screen resolution? [18:36] diranacola: very likely i have very seldom see fail both of them at the same time [18:36] dushich: we will tell them thanks [18:36] wabkia: if you can't boot, then yeah. BUT, I'm kinda ignorant with these things [18:36] remoteCTRL: there's 4 pieces of RAM in this machine - that's what you mean right? [18:36] night all, can someone help Zyrando with his ndiswrapper problem when he gets back please....need to hit the sack.. [18:36] Can someone help me with an update issue? It won't let me do a full update. It gives me the option to do a "partial upgrade" but when i try, it says "Error authenticating package" libawn-bzr [18:36] mmmmmmm [18:37] metroside, i'll look for him [18:37] evoltron: you can try, from the cli, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [18:37] wabkia - use a live cd then mount the relevant partition and pastebin your fstab file... see if someone can see whats wrong [18:37] diranacola: in that case you need to take them out pairwise, you can eliminate a pair by that and then only put in one at a time of the remaining pair, that should tell you which one it is [18:37] thanks SeaPhor; he is rebooting and going to pastebin to send us his iwconfig file.. [18:38] brokeback [18:38] mountain [18:38] metroside, yeah, i've been following the thread, and went thru same last weel [18:38] danbhfive: that worked, thanks [18:38] metroside, *week [18:38] remoteCTRL: thanks, think I'll give that a go [18:38] diranacola: take out always crosswise, meaning both stones from the sam slot colour [18:39] !ot | doom [18:39] doom: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [18:39] metroside, G'Night [18:39] hello! Is there any tutorial on how to create a backport package? I need to install alsa from source, I want to be able to revert the install easily. [18:39] hola [18:39] !backport > LordOfThePigs (read the private message from ubotu) [18:40] ok after installing this wifi driver via ndisgtk or w/e how can I tell it's working or "in use"? [18:40] hello! does anyone know, why my logitech MX518 does not work? see http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/211358/ [18:40] HA [18:40] HI [18:40] LordOfThePigs: "technical information" is probably what you want [18:41] i need games to linux [18:41] XD [18:41] Hello, I can't sign in to msn messenger using gaim, kopete, amsn etc on Ubuntu. Can anyone help? [18:41] hcoal: nobody can help for you are asking a meta-question [18:41] jrib, Yeah, I know about the backports repository, but alsa hasn't released any new version, not even a beta, so its never going to get into the backports repository [18:41] hcoal: phailboat. [18:41] jrib, hence my need to build it myself [18:41] hcoal: what's the error message anyway? [18:41] I was hiping to have use of the HD audio out put on bac of my CPU tower how ever I can't seem to make it work? [18:41] Okay, Pidgin gives me this error: msn: Connection error from Notification server (messenger.hotmail.com): Unable to connect [18:41] LordOfThePigs: yes, that page should tell you about the process if you want to help create a backport [18:42] I have worked for over a whole week to get proper video acceleration in totem but its impossible. I have ati X1950pro card. It's impossible to get proper Xv acceleration. I have tried gstreamer-properties. i have tried aticonfig. And reinstalling driver several times with EnvyNG. For some reason the video works in xine. But i want it to work properly in Totem with no strange vertical lines and pixelated unaccelerate [18:42] hcoal: phail...boat [18:42] you may want to try a different movie player such as VLC media player [18:42] This is really killing me i hate to have to remove ubuntu just because of this issue. [18:43] nickellery: that one does not work either. [18:43] nickellery: i have tried everything including removing compiz but still totem does not accelerate video properly. [18:43] jrib, I just found what I remembered to have used before: checkinstall [18:43] tv3SkUrt: have you tried the drivers manager? [18:43] LordOfThePigs: that doesn't create a proper package... [18:44] danbhfive: i have tried both open source and atis own driver and none give proper playback in totem. [18:44] danbhfive: setting Xv video in gstreamer-properties tells me that Xv acceleration is not available. [18:44] tv3SkUrt: is this an upgrade? maybe you need to do a clean install [18:44] danbhfive: it's a clean install. [18:45] jrib, What do you mean? It is only meant for personal use. [18:45] can anyone help me with windows 3.1? i need to setup wireless [18:45] having a weird problem. when i try to download a .rpm file realplayer opens. in about:plugins the rpm extension is enables and handled by /usr/local/bin/mozilla/nphelix.so. but in gutsy it was also but realplayer never interfered with .rpm downloads like this. any ideas? [18:45] danbhfive: i am giving it one last try before i remove ubuntu and maybe wait another year to see if some fixes comes out. [18:45] hello doom, I know how to run doom under Windows 3.1 [18:45] LordOfThePigs: when you asked how to create a backport, I thought you wanted a proper package that would be acceptable as a backport. Just be aware that using checkinstall is not the same [18:45] doom #windows [18:45] tv3SkUrt: sorry, I don't know. Maybe you can post on launchpad [18:45] !checkinstall > LordOfThePigs (read the private message from ubotu) [18:46] i made a disk into reiserfs and then the disk removed and i cant find it [18:46] can anyone help me out with it? [18:46] everything unrelated to any form of *nix seems to get answered but not legit questions? I'm confused. [18:46] doom: do you have a question related to ubuntu? [18:46] doom, you mentioned windows 3.1 [18:46] yeah [18:46] danbhfive: actually this seems to be a regular problem when i look in ubuntu forums. But somehow xine seems to work but i don't like that player. I want to use totem or vlc. [18:46] i've been in here for an hour asking :X [18:46] Hello guys, is there a tool that could manage multiple ping session simultaneously? [18:47] I have been considering maxing my mother=board out with fourm gigabytes of memory Sould i do it or just sebtle for 3 gb. [18:47] jrib, thanks for the warning and links. [18:47] doom: what is your question? [18:47] doom: if we don't know the answer we can't answer you. You should repeat every 15 minutes or so to see if someone new can help and wait patiently. You can also try the forums and mailing list [18:47] psmith: what do you use the computer for? 3gb more then enough for most uses [18:47] sidewalk> what are you trying to do? [18:47] tv3SkUrt: then go to launchpad, thats where real bugs get fixed [18:47] danbhfive: i really hoped video overlay was working properly but it's clear there is alot of work to be done and for some reason the compiz preferences are not installed by default in ubuntu. [18:47] ubuntu 8.04, exception emask, ata2 frozen error. (cdrom) vmware works, virtualbox works, any known work arounds? Forum fixes haven't worked. [18:48] sc006: i made a partition with the partitioner tool, a reiserfs partition, and now i cant find it .. it just dissapeared [18:48] danbhfive: ok [18:48] danbhfive: u have ati card? [18:48] tv3SkUrt: you have to use the drivers manager to get compiz preferences [18:48] I plan to use it for stripping audio from you tube and masking mash tapes. [18:48] tv3SkUrt: nvidia [18:48] u have to mount i beleave, maybe that your problem [18:48] sc006: i cant find it in /dev ?

I am having so much trouble, the xorg log file seems to recognize my video card but doesn't load the drivers, and I can't install back the drivers manually in 8.04.. anyone got any suggestions? [18:49] doom: I have no idea what your issue is. If it's some sort of error, pastebin it (in its entirety and explain what you did to get it) and link to it in your question [18:49] doom: i don't have an familiarity with your question, sorry. [18:49] I have wondered about this for a while. My sound volume is generally really low, and always has been when using Linux for a few years - is there any way I can make the maximum volume be as loud as in other operating systems? [18:49] tv3SkUrt: hmmm, ignore me then, I don't know about it, sorry [18:49] sidewalk> did it format it [18:49] sc006: yes, and i could mount it once [18:49] eitreach: open alsamixer and play around with the sliders [18:49] then when trying to move over a file to it, it just hung and dissapeared [18:50] Kevin`: That doesn't really help. [18:50] i rebooted and now i cant find it [18:50] i installed 8.04 but disappointed that it didnt recognize my Video Card [18:50] Kevin`: everything is turned all the way up.

Xine usually plays louder, but that's really a KDE-thing. [18:51] Hello, since I upgraded to Hardy (therefore, firefox3) I can't open the irc:// links from my browser to xchat...

[18:58] Dromar: hmm...i'm not quite sure, then. it worked from my end, but I'm pretty unfamiliar with IRc (this is my second day on it). Sorry I can't be of more help [18:58] G__81: not to me, to the channel [18:58] neopsyche: I might recommend knoppmyth to you, the packages are cr*p, but it works [18:58] Ice_Wewe, , can you please help me too [18:58] neopsyche: I have XviD output configured [18:58] jrib, i am sorry for that [18:58] G__81, i have and Nvidia 8600GT and NO ENVY, just used/enabled the restricted drivers (and unblacklisted if necessary) and works great.

[18:59] i have no window border while using compiz. neither gtk-window-decorator nor emerald works. did anybody has a solution? [18:59] Ice_Wewe: i really just want simple program to install.

[19:02] !away | Squawk [19:02] Squawk: You should avoid changing your nick in a busy channel like #ubuntu - it causes unrequired scrolling which is unfair to new users.

I'm still on NF4, I don't have enough money to get a new system so I've been lagging behind somewhat [19:02] atlanix-org: are you going to use SLi? [19:02] ere4si, hey the orange bar came back!!! got the new kernel [19:03] I downloaded a theme thats a .tar.gz but when i drag and drop it into the theme manager it says that it does not appear to be a valid theme [19:03] Bbyever: http://graalonline.com/playerworlds/downloads/file?name=graal4setup [19:03] legend2440: trying again.. it diddnt work last time [19:03] Ice_Wewe, ok, I got this May 3 14:02:47 medic kernel: [ 963.261380] usb 2-3: USB disconnect, address 5 [19:03] Ice_Wewe: nothing.

[19:08] neopsyche, use the one i gave :) [19:08] yes ? [19:08] vimdiff [19:08] This Vim was not compiled with the diff feature. [19:08] hey, i have a p4 1.8ghx with 256mb ram - is it normal for system monitor cpu graph to run at 70-90% cpu usage after just booting. i checked on the processes tab and theres nothing even coming close to 10% let alone 80..

[19:09] G__81, The "intel_agp" may be the controller, so not sure if you should BL that, but you could try and set it back if you need to [19:09] Ice_Wewe, no, it's attached to the lid of my laptop and is technically a usb device.

[19:18] wabbit: The reason it fails to set a samba password for family is that you need to run athe useradd command in order to add the user account in linux before you can add the aformentioned account to the samba passwd file. [19:18] Ice_Wewe: it's all i could get though, agp_8x or pci... my motherboard is a little dated. [19:18] tnx [19:18] blankhead thank you !

[19:18] Ice_Wewe, it won't ever enable it seems, I think that's why it shows up in lshw as "DISABLED" [19:18] arvind_khadri: To use the PVR features, you have to have a PVR system available, [19:18] ah got it thanks psmith [19:18] and you have to select the appropriate PVR Interface for the system.

Seriously consider an Airlink though, they're 802.11G and only cost about $20 [19:19] Ice_Wewe: like what processor does it take?

[20:04] the problem just keeps on changing not sure [20:04] ireallyneedIRCto, First make sure to backup sources.list [20:04] can you get into the recovery console?

[20:04] language please Takalius [20:04] Takalius, as with everything I do, I always back up. [20:04] norv, just start rhythmbox before firefox, play a song, and then it works. the issue arrises if you open firefox while rbox is open [20:04] m_ad: but if it's a laptop lcd, you can't go higher than the native resolution [20:04] i odn't know, i sent you a bunch of PMs but you didn't respond [20:04] bazhang, sorry about taht [20:04] ireallyneedIRCto, Alright, good [20:05] thanks Takalius [20:05] dassouki: firefox I guess only takes /dev/dsp if it's not being used [20:05] crdlb, excuse me if this is a dumb question, but what is a "native" resolution? [20:05] i need to register to pm just a sec [20:05] Is anyone here running hardy with kernel 2.6.24-17 and nvidia restricted driver? I can't get it to work. [20:05] m_ad: LCD monitors can only run at one resolution [20:05] what is the easy way to copy HDA to HDB ? [20:05] on hardy heron. was anyone else able to get the 2 updates? The password window wouldn't open for me, so im' unable to update at all. [20:05] m_ad: they have a fixed layout of pixels, unlike traditional CRT monitors [20:05] m_ad a native resolution is the resolution at which an LCD display is designed to run [20:06] i have tried DD but it takes forever and i don't even know if it's working [20:06] crdlb, aah, i see.. but there are other options in "Screen Resolution", just smaller [20:06] ludwi1 - which two undates were you not able to get? [20:06] well that's from the update manager.. is there a way to update from terminal? [20:06] kitty, i don't know if i have a registration or not, where's the registration link? XD [20:06] i'm on my dad's hardy right now moutainx, [20:06] excAliBuR: dd can be, but the disk has to be the same size and various other limitations, for it to work right [20:06] hi, can somebody help me [20:06] i can't view certain things either [20:06] Has anyone found a good solution to the firefox3 flash crashing problem? [20:06] m_ad: those look terrible because it just does interpolation to fit to the native resolution :) [20:06] !ask | ggeecko [20:06] ggeecko: 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. :-) [20:06] ludwi1: sure sudo apt-get update [20:06] can you guys look at this http://pastebin.com/m3f17fcd9 every nic works except eth3, I cant figure out why i cant get online from eth3 [20:06] just a sec... thanks for your help [20:06] dbus says you can't get to shell beach [20:07] excAliBuR: easiest way, format a blank disk, copy everything [20:07] ishw and libldap [20:07] crdlb, ok.. thanks for your help. do you know of any other ways to get compiz to work with this intel integrated video, without bypassing the blacklist? heh [20:07] which kernel should i boot? latest? not tha tit makes a difference in how they work [20:07] ok let me try that command === LaTTiNo is now known as OncrAckz [20:07] the one you're trying to get to work [20:07] norv: what you mean by copy? [20:07] m_ad: it's no longer blacklisted in Hardy [20:07] deeeep breath. [20:07] excAliBuR: just that [20:08] anyone else noticing a pretty serious memory leak using Compiz + Nvidia? [20:08] m_ad: and it's only blacklisted in Gutsy because Xv video is broken [20:08] kitty_ if the latest works fine then boot with it [20:08] it says unable to resolve host [20:08] compiz is a memory leak [20:08] when I reply to someone's question, can pidgin automatically copy their screen name at the beginning of my reply so I don't have to type it? [20:08] pixelmonkey: it's a bug in the nvidia driver; everyone with low videoram gets it [20:08] ggeecko: Hmm. Looks right, at least at first glance. [20:08] after upgrading from gutsy to hardy, my numberpad no longer works. Does anyone have any ideas how to deal with this? [20:08] ludwi1: can you pastebin your sources.list [20:08] excAliBuR: cp -r /mnt/point/* /mnt/second/.. or just use file manager [20:08] MountainX, I know in XChat you can type the beginning of their name and hit Tab [20:08] crdlb, so, is it better to try nvidia-glx rather than nvidia-glx-new, or try the Nvidia beta? [20:08] Lynet: me too...I cant figure it out [20:08] Not sure moutain x, but it'd probably be hard to do it anyway [20:08] software sources GUI unable to read apt sources-list. is there a way to force the read? [20:08] crdlb, damn, just got this laptop with gutsy installed on it. is it tough to upgrade? I see the update manager telling me I can update.. just read a lot about peoples nic card/etc not working after upgrade [20:09] Takalius - thx [20:09] MountainX, Example, I type "Moun" and hit tab, it'll say MountainX, at the beginning ^^ [20:09] excAliBuR: err, "cp -r /mnt/point/* /mnt/second/" sans quotes [20:09] pixelmonkey: they all have it now. The only fix I know of is to use Xgl or indirect rendering, both of which are far from optimal [20:09] pastebin is a webiste? forget what it is :P [20:09] Takalius: yes, this works in Pidgin too. Thanks [20:09] MountainX, No problem [20:09] !paste | ludwi1 [20:09] ludwi1: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [20:09] you still there Kitty_? [20:09] yes [20:09] HermanChess, I would agree, and would be fine using pure metacity, except metacity's built-in compositor sucks (is completely unconfigurable, as far as I can tell) and xcompmgr has quite a few bugs with certain apps [20:09] thanks for link [20:10] crdlb, ha, not only is it telling me that there's a dist available, but I have 90 available other updates :x [20:10] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=241254 [20:10] it says it's for 10.3 to 10.4 [20:10] but it seems to work [20:10] reading [20:10] what the command to run the alsa config in ubuntu? [20:10] you don't need all the commands === e is now known as goodtimes [20:10] so waht am i pasting again? [20:10] ludwi1: your sources.list [20:10] hello i am lol [20:10] but it should work the same if you just follow the instructions [20:11] ludwi1, /etc/apt/sources.list incase you don't know where to find it [20:11] !gr | Mits_C0re [20:11] Mits_C0re: #ubuntu-gr και #kubuntu-gr για Έλληνες χρηστές / #ubuntu-gr kai #kubuntu-gr gia Ellhnes xrhstes [20:11] thanks takalius [20:11] hello - is it possible to use aptitude to find out what packages that depend on a specific package? [20:12] miro in synaptic is out of date, if i download miro manually from their homepage should i extract it to /bin/? [20:12] can I filter irc conversations to see only those with my name when, for example, I want to see if I missed any replies to a question I asked? [20:12] ggeecko: Did you get my msg? Line 25, I think you have a -d where you should have an -s. [20:12] I don't want dependencies for a package, but I'd like to know what packages depend on it [20:12] Mohjive: you can use apt-cache [20:12] tried some of the commands but ime getting dpkg errors asing me to try --configure -a, which i tried and doesnt work [20:12] Lynet: k...checking now...thx [20:12] i can't open it. on the task bar this new task says "starting administration" but it never opens [20:12] JoshuaRL, ok, the apt-get install -f finished. should i now attempt to dist-upgrade again? [20:12] hm [20:12] that's odd [20:12] it just closes after words [20:12] legend2440: so i followed that writeup, and found that i'm back at a blank logon screen [20:12] crdlb, still around? [20:12] MountainX: I'll look at it, thanks [20:12] hold on and let me find the registration link so we can PM each other [20:12] Mmm now then, anyone know how to fix Buffer I/O Error on device sda ? [20:13] Hello, I have a custom compiled version of the ALSA module. How do I make sure that ubuntu loads my custom version of the module instead of its own? [20:13] zeeeeee: I would say go for it [20:13] how do I set up alsa with a different soundcard [20:13] isn't there a configurator to run? [20:13] or something? [20:13] via command prompt [20:13] excAliBuR: oh, nearly forgot. you need to do this with a boot disk. Yeah, that command would copy /mnt/hda1/mnt/hda1/mnt/hda1 recursively... why it's easiest to copy a disk without an OS running on it (plus /dev, /proc, etc) [20:14] I was playing a fullscreen game (Egoboo) that crashed. I killed the process, but now my desktop is stuck in the low resolution. I can however scroll around the screen to reveal the whole desktop. How can I fix this? [20:14] an application is asking me to add its repository by using the command deb but terminal doesn't recognise it. what can i do? [20:14] I can only see parts of the desktop at the same time [20:14] ludwi1: what about gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list in the terminal then copy and paste that ot pastebin [20:14] Mohjive: I saw the exact solution you would need when I was searching on "packages kept back" on ubuntu forums. I don't remember the details or I would share them with you [20:14] hi guys! i have installed some lame flash player and now i cannot watch youtube videos, how do i uninstall it,please [20:14] laeg: sudo [20:14] ok [20:14] TheBigNoob: asoundconf [20:14] Lynet: youre the best...it worked...thank you [20:14] imaboyo: ty [20:15] ggeecko: No prob, happy to help. [20:15] penetrarthur: apt-get remove nameofplayer [20:15] Mohjive: check this url: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/18330 === dmb_ is now known as dmb [20:15] Guys, I can't explain in text how frustrating this is for me. I had Hardy in about the best shape I've ever had a computer running before and earlier this morning, it seems I installed a font that X doesn't like in the logon process. I feel like I've tried everything, so any advice you could give me before I throw in the towel on probably 48 hours of work total and reinstall. [20:15] bazhang: i get the same thing.. starting administration task but it won't open.. just closes on me [20:15] ubuntino: i dont know the name, where can i find it [20:15] More details in this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=780413 [20:15] * bil9000 is on his knees here. [20:15] imaboyo: replaceing deb with sudo or prefixing deb with sudo gave the same response - 'command not found' [20:15] bil9000: remove the font? [20:16] ludwi1: in the terminal? [20:16] yep [20:16] laeg: deb is not a program [20:16] Hi, I am new here. I'd like to know why cannot send an e-mail using ELinks... [20:16] Gumby - I can't login [20:16] ludwi1: what about cat /etc/apt/sources.list can you see it then [20:16] I have no idea what font is causing it either [20:16] m_ad: yes [20:16] is it true that all partitions besides swap are logical partitions mounted under the extended root partition? [20:16] norv: https://www.getmiro.com/download/ubuntu.php [20:16] how far off am i ;) [20:16] norv: first instruction line [20:17] penetrator: is it a firefox plugin? [20:17] ushdfgakk: you can set up the partitions any an almost infinite number of ways [20:17] norv: nevermind, ty :) [20:17] does anyone have a link to some instructions on deleting an extra ubuntu installation? [20:17] bazhang: in the terminal it says something... want me to place that in pastebin? [20:17] im going to strangle my computer. [20:17] ubuntino: i downloaded some codecs for *.flv [20:17] Whitesox2007 it's kitty im now registered i just ahve to switch connections and im back [20:17] ludwi1: yes please [20:18] damntourists: Heh. Why? [20:18] bil9000: Try to boot without gui, and look in /var/log to see if you can get some more information on why xfstt fails. [20:18] bil9000: ctrl+alt+f1 will get you to a terminal login there. you can try to have a look at the dates of the files that have been downloaded by doing ls -l /var/cache/apt/archives [20:18] penetrarthur: VLC and kaffeine play flv for me, with codecs [20:18] penetrarthur: inside firefox? [20:18] ubuntino: yes i think [20:18] Whitesox2007: if you want to remove a kernal image, use Synaptic to remove it. If it is a partition, but delete the partition or format it. Maybe there is more you can do with grub.... [20:18] ubuntino: but i am using opera now [20:18] open firefox and type: "about:plugins" [20:18] jburd: been following http://www.mepis.org/node/13647 this guide in hopes to get my computer working.... since installing Envy didn't work.. so after i finished the guide, i cannot get to my login screen just like i couldnt using envy. [20:18] oh, you want to obtain flv videos? [20:19] bil9000: find the most recent font packages and remove by doing apt-get remove packagename (not apt-get remove packagename.deb) [20:19] bil9000: its worth a shot [20:19] Gumby / Lynet - thanks 0 I'll try both [20:19] it's posted.. do you need a link? [20:19] jburd: i've been trying to get my drivers working since yesterday. and still no luck. [20:19] what is the browser path I shall type in gmail notifier? [20:19] penetrarthur: obtaining or playing? [20:19] penetrarthur: open firefox and type: "about:plugins" [20:19] Hey guy [20:19] ludwi1: that would help :) [20:19] Gumby - the problem is, I haven't restarted in quite some time [20:19] http://paste.ubuntu.com/9801/ [20:19] damntourists: I haven't used envy so I can't comment about it. Which graphics card are you using? [20:19] argh whitesox still registering issues,, im getting your messages though [20:19] so it could have been a problem that was there before but didn't show up until a reload [20:19] bazhang: i just ddin't know if you were admin or something and didn't need it. :P [20:19] jburd: ati radeon x1950 pro [20:19] ok [20:20] you'll have to login some how [20:20] I made a new folder in the home partition but i cant writr to ot how can i cange the permissions? [20:20] laeg: finally I managed to load the page, yeah those are repos, not commands :P [20:20] just a sec i have to wait 120 seconds thats all [20:20] hi, is there a way to have kubuntu within ubuntu 8.04? [20:20] what shall type in "browser path" for Gmail notifier? [20:20] bazhang: i never used pastebin before. :P [20:20] norv: i said nevermind! lol thanks :P [20:20] odd, i registered instantly [20:20] damntourists: Ah, well you can strangle your computer now or wait for a few months before ATi drivers stabilize. :-) [20:20] ludwi1: looks okay; what is the problem again? you cannot update anything? [20:20] damntourists: which kernel are you using? [20:20] !kde > tmh (read the private message from ubotu) [20:20] jburd: i've been waiting like a year :( [20:20] jrib, thanks [20:20] tmh: VM [20:20] any know how to fix the quit button problem? [20:21] hm. i just ran apt-get dist-upgrade, and it finished in < 3 min. did it actually succeed? how do i tell? [20:21] penetrarthur: is what you are trying to do obtaining Flash Video, or playing it? [20:21] (the exit status was 0) [20:21] how can i change the permisions on a folder? [20:21] PKsteR: chmod [20:21] norv: i want to watch youtube vids in opera, tbh :) [20:21] bazhang: yea the password window thingy just won't open for anything.. i can't seem to log into root either. [20:21] PKsteR: chown first [20:21] zeeeeee: from gutsy to hardy? what does lsb_release -a say [20:21] I made a new user and I want to give him PolicyKit access rights.. So he can administer the Ubuntu computer. Any idea how to do this? [20:22] can someone please help? Hardy locks up when I try to connect to any wifi networks. [20:22] ludwi1: the password thingy--> could you clarify please [20:22] xomp: What wireless card/usb stick you have? === benzs_s is now known as benzss [20:22] norv: but all i see is some free space instead of video, so i think it is because i have installed some lame codecs [20:22] damntourists: did you ever enable proprietary drivers in ubuntu? [20:22] legend2440: not that i know of... [20:23] penetrarthur: odd, never seen that happen, does it occur in firefox? [20:23] Is there a way I can use the "find" command to search for more than one string at a time? [20:23] RichW, it's the Compaq Multiport W200 USB device. I'm using ndiswrapper with a windows driver to make it work as orinoco and prism2_usb doesn't work. [20:23] bazhang, yeah, gutsy to hardy ; lsb_release -a says 8.04... [20:23] damntourists: hardy right? [20:23] bazhang: well say like in update manager. when you get install a window pops up to place in the password right.. well that won't open. the task just says starting administration then it closes on me.. so i'm stuck at that point. [20:23] ? [20:23] zeeeeee: then it was a success [20:23] legend2440: yeah.. i've just been following these instructions to a T on fresh installs [20:23] bazhang, how could it have finished so fast, though? [20:23] so I would go "chown /home/Torrents" [20:23] damntourists: go to system.preferences>control panel>hardware drivers [20:24] bazhang, on my other machine it took at least an hour, more than that [20:24] zeeeeee: you on dsl? how fast is it [20:24] What are you doing about bug: Ubuntu kill hdd [20:24] legend2440: i will once i can get my display back... it's just a black screen before the logon appears [20:24] bazhang, yeah both machines are on university connections [20:24] norv: it offers to install flash player. does ubuntu support .rpm ? [20:24] zeeeeee: took me about 3 minutes on a fast connection [20:24] penetrarthur: so flash player is not, indeed, installed [20:24] zeeeeee: if a dist-upgrade fails all the updates will all have been downloaded and cached on the local machine [20:24] penetrarthur, with alien [20:25] bil9000: takin a look at your thread [20:25] xomp: Thanks.. Never seen anyone with that stick.. ndiswrapper can be problematic.. File a ubuntu bug with as much information on your hardware as possible. [20:25] imaboyo, oh, that's what happened. my first attempt last week failed [20:25] penetrarthur: check synaptic for 'flash' [20:25] anyone got 64-bit ndiswrapper working at all? [20:25] xomp: You need to work with the ubuntu community to get your hardware supported. [20:25] !aptfix | ludwi1 [20:25] ludwi1: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [20:25] !flash [20:25] 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 [20:25] zeeeeee: yeah so chances are a lot of the packages won't have changed since then [20:25] RichW: system--> users and groups. Add user to Admin group. Also, you may have to edit /etc/sudoers and add a new line with the username [20:25] ludwi1: run those commands please [20:25] opopanax: I do [20:26] nosrednaekim, ok, good, there's hope then. [20:26] opopanax: you need a 64 bit windows driver though [20:26] ubuntino: You dont have hardy do you? Its not that simple anymore.. [20:26] RichW, I've posted on the forums like 2 months ago and nobody has responded :P It's as if they don't wanna help (which I don't blame them) [20:26] MountainX: Well I made a torrents folder in side my Home partition but I need all the users to be able to acces/write to it [20:26] yes, i know that, thank you, though, nosrednaekim [20:26] bazhang: i can't. can't resolve host [20:26]  Is anyone here running Hardy with kernel 2.6.24-17 and nvidia restricted driver? I can't get it to work. [20:26] xomp: You say its a prism? Il look for prism mailing list [20:26] !hostname | ludwi1 [20:26] ludwi1: Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. Alternatively, use the gui at system>administration>networking on the "General" tab [20:26] nosrednaekim, what card [20:26] opopanax: Atheros [20:26] RichW: Hardy here ;) [20:27] nosrednaekim, madwifi doesn't work? [20:27] so it is not possible to install flash player for amd64 ? [20:27] penetrarthur, no, that is incorrect [20:27] opopanax: nope [20:27] nosrednaekim, meh. [20:27] bil9000: you are using kde? [20:27] penetrarthur: Adobe doesn't make a flash player in 64 bits for Linux [20:27] ubuntino: Theres a new thing called PolicyKit.. Its used to get root access from within programs.. if you make a new user with useradd manually.. you could have problems with it. [20:27] RichW, I have determined it's a prism2_usb device since if I blacklist it I loose all USB functionality, I've seen so many responses on old posts that say it's prism2_usb, orinoco, mildred martino, ronny bobby ricky & mike that I'm thuroughly confused haha [20:28] penetrarthur: you haev to use a 32 bit version of flash [20:28] does ubuntu still have a DRBL package? [20:28] you can run a 32-bit flash player on 64-bit OS, though [20:28] and force architecture it ? [20:28] bazhang: i can't edit anything.. i don't have permission [20:28] penetrarthur, but ubuntu has made that completely transparent [20:28] ludwi1: what happened that led to this [20:28] norv, penetrarthur it's not as complicated as it soundsw. [20:28] gumby - I can't really make heads or tails of anything in the apt list since this is such a new installation [20:28] anyone using pcsx2 with dualshock controller? [20:28] how do I get torrent files to automaticly start with dulige-torrent [20:28] hi [20:28] well, when i run isntaller it says that i have wrong architecture [20:28] you ither have to make a wraper for flash or just run a 32 bit web browser i believe [20:29] xomp: Hmm.. We might have to put this on the linux kernel mailing list [20:29] bazhang: i dunno everything was working fine till i updated to the latest version.. then i keep getting loads of bugs with things. [20:29] xomp: we need to find the prism developers [20:29] RichW: also using the gui interface? ( I updatef from gutsy and kept my user list) [20:29] i think i have brain cancer--god my head hurts [20:29] ludwi1: latest version? you are still on dapper right? [20:29] doesn't transmission use ipv6? [20:29] if I wanted to add a local folder as a package source (files I had from a previous install), is it as simple as adding a line of text to the apt sources.conf? [20:29] bazhang: no i'm on the latest as in hardy heron.. [20:29] when i run flash installer it says i have wrong architecture [20:30] ubuntino: Even though my user is in the correct groups.. that does not change the settings of PolicyKit.. So I effectivly do not have administrator rights. [20:30] RichW, what ever it takes to make it work would be great. I've found several other threads on the forum in relation to the same problem as me (with several other members claiming issues on those threads too) with no response from the community :/ [20:30] bil9000: are you using kde/kubuntu? [20:30] bazhang: think there could be a update problem since dapper? cause that pastebin thing talks about dapper. [20:30] ludwi1: you must have done something out of the ordinary-->your sources are all for dapper [20:31] not exactly an early adopter... [20:31] bazhang: well i'm not a programmer and i havn't messed with anything that i know of. just used the update manager and add/remove app to install everything [20:31] Any known issues on getting the Airlink AWLL3028 Wireless-G USB 2.0 Adapter to work in 7.10 or 8.04? [20:31] penetrarthur: see this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202537 [20:31] RichW: have you tried rebooting using recovery mode? [20:31] My update manager does not work. It won't connect and download anything, though apt works just fine from the command line. I'm using 8.04. [20:31] ubuntino: Hows that going to help? [20:32] bil9000: You could try running xfsst manually from a shell and see if you get some sensible error message. [20:32] ubuntino: I can use sudo but thats not the point [20:32] ludwi1: are all your files backed up? [20:32] ok, i can see my linux box, and i can see the share, its mounted correctly, but when i try to access it on my windows box it says access denied. whats goin on? [20:32] RichW: you might get root access, depending on your settings [20:32] bazhang: you mean when i update the os? don't think i have :P [20:32] lynet - I actually tried a dpkg-reconfigure on xfsst and I got no output at all (!) [20:32] hello there, i got a problem with amule on gutsy, still there in hardy, i posted this on the amule channel: [20:33] http://pastebin.com/d574497c8 [20:33] ludwi1: I mean your personal data etc [20:33] can anyone help me please? [20:33] ubuntino: running policykit applications as root does nothing to help.. you really dont know what your talking about :) [20:33] lynet - what else should I try? [20:33] xomp: First I will need output of lsusb -v I assume your familiar with the terminal.. paste the output in pastebin [20:33] bazhang: i can easly backup everything. exturnal hdd. [20:33] !pastebin | xomp [20:33] xomp: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [20:33] Anyone know why a printer status for cups is stuck on processing? its a HP 5610 AIO Officejet [20:33] legend2440: finally got back to my desktop [20:33] RichW, sure, just a sec [20:34] ludwi1: the easiest way to this is to get the hardy live cd [20:34] damntourists: go to system.preferences>control panel>hardware drivers see if ati is enabled [20:34] i'm having some display issues in hardy,my max resolution is 1024x800 when in gutsy it used to be 1280x1024.help? [20:34] bil9000: ummmm that looks like a KDE config issue (if kstartupconf is what I think it is) try doing this " mv .kde kde-home-backup" and re-login [20:34] can someone check my x.sessionError to se why my ubuntu freeze when click quit button http://pastebin.com/m2df56287 >? [20:34] bil9000: I'm entering guesswork-territory here as haven't experienced that one myself. But, thing to do is look at logs and try to find relevant error messages and/or running the diferent commands manually in a shell to see if they punt out with an error message. [20:34] bazhang: ok. well i might as well just partition everything for a fully clean start then.. [20:34] RichW, http://pastebin.com/mb4bcdd4 [20:34] RichW: you could try to explain what you really want to do. sinde all a user needs under ubuntu to administer is being a sudoer. [20:34] how much ram needs hardy? [20:34] yeah, display detection and drivers kinda got borked--none of the ati drivers support my laptop anymore. it's irritating. [20:34] Jeez: i use amule sometimes but froswire is faster for me [20:35] ludwi1: that was not what I meant; get the hardy live cd and change your password from that [20:35] Jeez: i use amule sometimes but frostwire is faster for me [20:35] oh well. y'all have a good day. [20:35] torrents is the way to go [20:35] hi all. :-) hope everyone is doing ok. Im having some problems recording audio with xawtv.. when i select the avi video record option .. audio option becomes unavailable? not sure why .. does anyone know how i can enable the audio to record from line in .. with avi as codec?

[20:36] bazhang: change my password? the window won't even open at all... so how is changing it going to matter? if i can't even use it. [20:36] y'all ahve a good day [20:36] ? [20:36] ludwi1: boot from the live cd then from the live cd session do so [20:36] bazhang: it probable be best for me just to partition the hdd. lol sadly i've sent a few years on windows. so i'm use to of reformating the hdd to start fresh :P === lymeca| is now known as lymeca [20:37] legend2440, checking about frostwire [20:37] legend2440, does frostwire know about kad?

[20:42] legend2440: enabling it broke my computer again :( [20:42] same as before.. so i guess that configuration is not working anymore [20:43] anoble why do you need grub without ubuntu? [20:43] but i want to be to do everything at once [20:43] susanna777: I am not sure about your app, but it might be a right hassle trying to get it working in Wine or Codeweavers. if possible at all. however you can run Ubuntu and Windows at the same time :) [20:43] I cant rmdir a folder it says its not empy but it is [20:43] i don't know how [20:43] damntourists: broke how? [20:43] anoble: fdisk /mbr [20:43] !virtualizers | susanna777 [20:43] susanna777: There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications [20:43] susanna777: yep, but I do of coure. virtual machine :) [20:43] anybody has used the Theme Installer ? each time i run it, it shows me a busy cursor and then nothing loads up [20:43] bazhang: ok cool. thanks. [20:43] bazhang: i dont, i cant boot into windows at all [20:44] anoble: That is, if you wish to remove grub and use the windows boot stuff instead. [20:44] Lynet: i cant even boot to windows [20:44] i don't have an installation disk for windows [20:44] it came preloaded on my computer [20:44] susanna777: rad about virtualbox, it can even do seamless windows [20:44] susanna777: ok well you can use VMware converter to copy the one you have installed [20:44] RichW: Maybe so :). Have you read this? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/Specs/PolicyKitIntegration [20:44] Lynet: Grub loading, please wait... /Error 22 [20:44] anoble: Download a boot floppyy / boot cd from somewhere. [20:44] how do i do that? [20:44] hey guys, i have / and /boot partition, which should be bootible? [20:44] stefg: seamless windows only when the guest OS is XP [20:44] will live CD work? [20:44] anoble so you a windows only problem? where does ubuntu come into this? cos you are an ex-ubuntu user? [20:44] legend2440: my login screen is just black... nothing is showing up [20:44] mortal1: /boot [20:45] arbir: true... but that's seems to be the case here [20:45] sebsebseb: susanna777: wouldn't dd work, or can VirtualBox not handle disk images? [20:45] norv: well Virtualbox can open VMware images so if she copys her Windows install into a VMware disk [20:45] bazhang: im on Ubuntu, remeber the Screen Res Problem well im not going to use ubuntu on that computer [20:45] anybody has used theme installer ? [20:45] norv: she could then open it in VMware player or Virtualbox [20:45] i don't know how to do that, how do you do that [20:45] i'm having some display issues in hardy,my max resolution is 1024x800 when in gutsy it used to be 1280x1024.help? [20:45] anoble: the supergrub disk can restore a windows MBR, beyond that you should ask in #windows [20:46] evilbug: can you set the resolution via System - >preferences - > screen resolution ? [20:46] susannay777: are you registered here? [20:46] astro76: well i got the problem AFTER taking off Ubuntu [20:46] anoble this computer is ubuntu? but the one you want to fix is only windows? is that the correct assessment? [20:46] uh i just signed up [20:46] good [20:46] damntourists: can you get command prompt? [20:46] anoble: that really doesn't change the fact that you need to restore a *windows* mbr [20:46] that means I should be able to private message you [20:46] susanna777: I guess your best bet is installing windows from scratch on a virtual machine, without porting your actual partition to it [20:46] and you shoudl be able to reply [20:46] ubuntino: Ubuntu doesnt rely so much on sudo anymore.. policykit is its replacement [20:46] legend2440: i can but i have to be in recovery mode [20:46] anoble: thus you should ask the pros in that area ;) [20:46] bazhang: yes the one i am trying to fix is a x-Dual Boot w/ Windows/Ubuntu8.04 [20:46] legend2440: which im currently doing [20:46] but i don't have an installation disk [20:46] tacone: she has no Windows disc though [20:46] i have the product key [20:46] I'm in recovery console mode, seemignly whether im wired or not i can't get internet, any suggestions? [20:47] anoble but you deleted ubuntu correct? [20:47] How do I use a "(*.bin)" file in Ubuntu? [20:47] xomp: I will post that to linux mailing list shortly [20:47] sebsebseb: didn't she had a installation disk ? she told so [20:47] bazhang: yes [20:47] bazhang: and this problem arose bec of this [20:47] susanna777: you have no Windows XP CD? [20:47] ok, I was hoping someone could go step by step with me on this. I have Ubuntu Hardy as my parents desktop, with an HP printer conneted via usb. The desktop prints fine, everything works. They have an additional Windows Vista laptop, and I can't get this to print. And they are starting to hint they want Hardy removed and Vista put on the Desktop. [20:47] sebsebseb: porting an existing installation is non-trivial [20:47] it was preloaded on my computer, no xp disk [20:47] susanna777: ok, I see. [20:47] tacone: I have copyed another computer with VMware converter I know what to do with that :) [20:47] RichW, thanks, any way to track any progress if any? [20:47] tacone: yes usually it is probably best to start from scratch, but that's another weay [20:47] damntourists: there was a troubleshooting section at bottom of that tutorial with commands for getting it going with vesa drivers [20:47] sebsebseb: ok, nice :D- [20:48] tacone: or to sort out an XP CD [20:48] anoble: What happened is that grub is looking for some files on your linux partition, and bugs out since the partition is deleted now. The way to fix is to reset the master boot record of the HD you are booting from to the default windows boot record. [20:48] legend2440: yeah i tried following that and it didn't work either [20:48] arbir- it won't show anything past 1024x800 [20:48] anoble windows must have some recover windows disk option best to ask in their channel as I have no clear idea about that-->should be an easy fix though provided you have a windows disk [20:48] !printer | unstable [20:48] unstable: Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups.

[20:50] sure hold on [20:50] damntourists: Identifier "Configured Video Device" and Driver "fglrx" [20:50] unstable: so you need to share the printer by samba, not by cups [20:50] sebsebseb: like #susanna or something like that.

[22:26] anyone else have a noticibly higher and/or more erratic cpu usage since upgrading to hardy? [22:26] ;x [22:26] fhrmedic: yes if you got the hard disk space might as well have both, since having the other one could become useful later on [22:26] Phantal: fastest way to find if not seen in menu is use synaptic to search for "RDP" [22:26] !alternate | ldiamond [22:26] ldiamond: The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD.

[22:26] hemelskomnijn: yeah...this is weird though and ive been told there is an acpi=force open but not sure where to addthat [22:26] can you read that? [22:26] I find adding beta opensource nvidia drivers like with the last release kinda so so, but to install the beta version of Firefox along with the release is just plain f'ing stupid.

Something just randomly played the login sound on my built-in sound card! [22:54] yell0w: I'm not understading why I need to run that though. Shouldn't it already be running rc.local on boot? And thus just run the lines that I put in automatically like it did in Gutsy? [22:54] remoteCTRL: i started up emerald theme manager.. i imported a emerald theme and now i dont know how to use it... [22:54] Loudly. [22:54] anyone know how to download torrents via shell/terminal??? [22:54] rignes: oh just an alternative [22:54] yell0w: It's just rc.local and it already has a symlink in rc2.d.

[22:55] blankhead: well, i think i get you, u want a BT clint for your fone, but i think its best to just down-torrent it to the PC then SSH it across to the fone, using scp or sftp etc [22:55] is the webcam detected aund installed automatically , under linux ?

I resteted the xserver >:< I'm runnign in that mode now... >.< [23:13] remoteCTRL: I do have an NVidia card, I can't install the propritary driver though, because either my whole xorg gets f'd up, or I have to install the 71xx driver ( even though my card is supposed to support later drivers ) but that's not possible either, because the NVidia install program for that doesn't work, it refuses to compile, as it says my kernel was compiled with gcc 2.1 ( which is very unlikely.. ) [23:13] doh.. everyone is on drugs! [23:13] Simonft: and i have a copy of 7.04 that i put in my computer and restarted. It started to install, but because my cd is scratched to hell...it errored out [23:13] neopsyche: by not on drugs do you mean now, or all the time [23:13] yeah you know it [23:13] joke === felipe__ is now known as FelipeMorales [23:13] remoteCTRL: when I do that it says to try apt-get install -f I try not to use force if I don't have to [23:13] * damntourists is on drugs legally. :) [23:13] spenser: Ok, I try to higher that res then... [23:13] well than its safe to say-ish its isnt-ish faulti-ish hardware [23:13] dampit07: try buring the cd again at a slower speed [23:14] knoeki: 32 or 64 bit ubuntu? [23:14] though you never know [23:14] remoteCTRL: 32bit [23:14] ariqs: if you can't read the DVD then k9 can't copy it, have you installed the DVD codecs? [23:14] jc: i wouldnt recommend that either... [23:14] ipei: ok so you want 1920x1200 and 1248x1024 so the virtual directive should be 1920+1248x1200 [23:14] using ubuntu for me has been like hitting head against brick wall but less fun [23:14] neopsyche: how come ? [23:14] ipei: which is about 2170x 1300 [23:14] <_sp8472_> codecaine: nope, doesn't help :( firefox still manages to restart the X server [23:14] neopsyche: restate the problem [23:14] ariqs: I forget exactly how but I think you have to install a restricted package - does anyone remember the name of the codec package? [23:14] spenser: Yeah... ok. I try that [23:14] jc: I can read it with VLC. I didn't purposely install any codecs, but VLC obviously had to install some libraries for it ofr it to work [23:14] how was that command to fix broken dependencies? something llike dpkg -f --configure or ...? [23:15] ipei: better to leave alil room [23:15] jc: hmm [23:15] It takes like weeks to get things done / installed .. wheras windows .. although buggy works with most things.. with one click install. [23:15] knoeki: and what driver did you try to install? [23:15] spenser: I took 3000 x 1400 now then... [23:15] spenser: I need to reload the Xserver, right? [23:15] bye all , see you later all igators [23:16] Simonft: i have no audio recording on xawtv. I can record using the avi feature. but it doesnt allow audio recording. I need simple solution. (ie: not myth tv) i need solution for analog tv card. [23:16] ipei: yea [23:16] remoteCTRL: I tried to install the 71xx driver from the NVidia site. [23:16] remoteCTRL: what exactly did you do to the menu.lst? cuz i dont actually see a change in the text [23:16] ariqs: try installed ubintu-restricted-extras [23:16] spenser: So, I'll be right back... [23:16] ok, thanks [23:16] remoteCTRL: that's the ONLY propretary driver that works for me. [23:17] Millertime_018: i put those little # infront ofa ll the line [23:17] s [23:17] Simonft: i burn all my iso's to cd at the highest, slowest quality that i can for maximum efficiency [23:17] remoteCTRL: on gentoo I could simply mask all packages with higher versions, but I haven't found a simple way to do this on Ubuntu. [23:17] knoeki: humm strange as i said for me that one fixed it, sry... [23:17] remoteCTRL: wouldn't you just delete the old kernel things? === catsk1n_ is now known as jimqode [23:17] Simonft: see i have no issue downloading and reburning 7.04 and then just upgrading...since i know that 7.04 works on this computer [23:17] remoteCTRL: like make it so that only the new ones would show? [23:18] hemelskonijn: hmm, nuthin obvious, do you get ANY key beeps at all, or did you the first time, or any error messages the first time? by firtst time- i know u been trying a lot recently, but when it first happened [23:18]  dampit07: upgrades can be buggy [23:18] remoteCTRL: only if that operating system has been removed from the hard disk === tof is now known as ubuntof [23:18] no beeps no indicators [23:18]  neopsyche: did you try the forums? [23:18] and the keyboard works ... just not when the bios prompts for password [23:18] Simonft: well i guess i will just download the 8.04 again... [23:19] Millertime_018: only if that operating system has been removed from the hard disk, and basically if those lines are uncommented you only do see the the new one? [23:19] hemelskonijn: ok, i was thinking your first few attempts have locked you out now so the chip has popped [23:19] Simonft: VLC = COMPLICATED Mythtv=complicated Xawtv = no audio recording metv = same problem xine = no v4l recording etc. etc. ITS LIKE.. this is a nightmare .. THERE are NO easy to use timed recording software for ubuntu .. NONE .. they either have dependency issues / wont install / wont work properly / or you have to have a degree in computer science specialising in video drivers development and [23:19] streaming to use / and windows .. driver for card is non existant.. FOr anyone who has a solution .. that would be much appreciated. [23:19] idk, ill put it there and try it [23:19] remoteCTRL: just tried apt-get -f install and got this error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9852/ [23:19] knoeki: you could have a try on apt-pinning if you find newer sources... [23:19] well that could be the case if i tried any thing but a reboot when it first happend [23:19] Hello, i found out that i should place codeblocks to search in /usr/include for wxheaders, but about about src files like .cpp files do i copy them to include dir too? [23:19] neopsyche: what is wrong with vlc? [23:20] how can I keep my hosts file from being overwritten constantly? [23:20] hemelskonijn: which means u need to either return to acer service to reset, or find a service ctr that will do it for you, not cheap, :( [23:20] Simonft: i click on capture device and TADA! no PICTURE!! woohoo! [23:20] :-D [23:20] dont they just rewrtie my bios or drop a new bios chip in there ?? [23:20] What does the /home/username/.thumbnails/normal folder do? And can I STOP it from saving thumbnails of everything ever? It has thumbnails from pictures I've long deleted. [23:20] both wont work since the pass is still there [23:20] hemelskonijn: i'm a hardware guy but not a laptoppy-password-recovery-mobile-foine-unlocker guy, unfortunately [23:21] Simonft: how the ?? is the average users supposed to use VLC when there are like 15 initialisation commands that someone has to SOMEHOW know to get it working.. [23:21] (i dont know the commands of course) [23:21] jc: i suppose you have your package dependencies messed up as i can't recall the commandline switches to fix that please open synaptix package manager and click on fix broken there [23:21] lol again whats wif this pass recovery ?? the pass is 0770fs [23:21] no codeblocks users around here? [23:21] neopsyche: what are you trying to use it for again? what is the name of the device [23:21] the system just doesnt register my keystrokes when it asks for the pass [23:21] Simonft: just take a look at their wonderful support page for newbies http://wiki.videolan.org/Documentation:VLC_for_dummies [23:21] remoteCTRL: ok I'll give that a try [23:22] jc: heads up [23:22] I tried Mint for a while and liked the mintupload feature. Does anyone know if this can be used in regular ubuntu by using Filezilla for example?? [23:22] neopsyche: lol, I just did sudo apt-get insall VLC [23:22] ipei: is it working? [23:22] sieg Hiel! [23:22] die [23:22] hemelskonijn: yeah i know, now the bad knews, maybe one key had a peice of pizza under it when u tried the correct code a few time, didnt work properly and now the security chip has locked you out, so nothing works :( just a hunch [23:22] bachstudies: it's compatible with Ubuntu. [23:23] Simonft: i want to click a button and it records video and audio (in one video stream file) to my hard drive .. I also (IF AT ALL HUMANLY POSSIBLE IN THE WORLD OF LINUX) to have a schedule to set when the video must record (NO .. Not MythTV .. NOT an entire PVR SERVER) ;-) [23:23] spenser: Nope, now we just got back to the 640x480 max :( [23:23] !admin | pleas remove frys for sieg heil [23:23] Factoid admin not found [23:23] try xrandr [23:23] ipei: try xrandr [23:23] clem: is there a deb or do i need to use specific manual settings in my FTP program?

[23:33] hemelskonijn: that wont work the only way to fix it is to reset bios using a motherboard jumper or finding the clock battery and taking it out [23:33] gord_: thats right i used rtorrent which works good but the problem is is that its dependent on my remote terminal...so if i close this remote terminal it cancels the download all together i rather have the pc do all the work so even if i close my remote terminal and such i still can come home and watch it download [23:34] spenser it ook out the bios batt === x-Mobil is now known as x-TM [23:34] i took* [23:34] hemelskonijn: ok same error still?

A new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion [23:42] The Intel 3945 goes out randomly.. it stays connected to the router supposedly but the internet stops working. It has been doing this ever since the beta and I know that people knew about it. It's worked perfectly fine in Gutsy and other Linux distributions. What is the problem? [23:42] Heston: get Advanced CompizConfig from the Add/Remove panel [23:42] remoteCTRL: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9858/ [23:42] my box system still has transmission set as the default even though i always open my torrents with azureus and have selected azureus in the open with tab of properties [23:42] when running Install from the LiveCD environment, it only lets me either use Guided - Entire Disk, or Manual [23:42] -box [23:43] has anyone else noticed this weird issue in gnome where if you open a dialog in some apps, it doesn't get brought to the front and you have to go click on it in the window list? [23:43] how do i configure default applications to open files? [23:43] Ok... [23:43] !defaultapp > laeg (read the private message from ubotu) [23:43] TT1m0thy: have you tried the normal wireless troubleshooting? hardy might not be as resilient to interference [23:43] hmm I having some prob with bluetooth.. cant send anything from my mobile to hardy.. :s === hoOboOntoO is now known as ubuntoOf [23:43] <_sp8472_> T1m0thy: Hardy ships with the iwl3945 driver instead of the ipw3945 one, I have the same problems [23:43] Backing up my /home's before migrating my last box to Hardy. I'll be honest, I was very unimpressed with 7.06 and 7.10 - they both rotted and went wrong very quickly compared to 6.whatever [23:43] T1m0thy: i.e. change the channel on the router, etc [23:43] mDemocritus, yes I have. [23:43] Nitrox_: that looks smooth, now once more if you click on system them preferences an then on sound under the devices tab what sound devices have you listed there? === skt is now known as ryugaka [23:44] can you only select entire disk or manual? [23:44] 8.04 ubuntustudio is great [23:44] jrib: i have already gone into the openwith tab in properties and i pointed it at /usr/bin/azureus/azureus - was that incorrect? [23:44] Hello all. I am trying to triple boot Ubuntu with Vista and XP and Ubuntu is going on an external drive all by itself [23:44] T1m0thy_: k just checking... i deal with that stuff all day long at work :D [23:44] i cant create new partitions when im in the installer? [23:44] Sounds like _sp8472_ knows what the problem is. Would I have to recompile my kernel to get that? [23:44] hmm I having some prob with bluetooth.. cant send anything from my mobile to hardy.. :s [23:44] mDemocritus, no problem. [23:44] spenser: Ok, now I have done that... [23:44] Before the installation begins, the Ubuntu installer does not "see" the other OS's [23:44] remoteCTRL: also, oss, pulseaudio? all of which give an error on test [23:44] oh [23:44] ipei: how it work? [23:45] Any ideas? [23:45] ipei: what does xrandr say [23:45] yeah i created one partition for ubuntu [23:45] <_sp8472_> T1m0thy: i'm still struggling with it myself, and a number of other issues since the upgrade. try #ipw2100, they may be able to help [23:45] Stormcr0w: In what order are you installing these three systems? [23:45] but it didnt see it [23:45] Nitrox_: whats the error so? [23:45] cHoke, choose manual , and create a new partition on your disk , entirely reserved for ubuntu [23:45] yeah NX/freeNX is good system, very lean, but u need to have a client on the fone-end (dunno, unlikely). We all normally just use ssh -X i guess, one prog at a time, but u can for example (connecting via ssh -X) do $ firefox & then $ sudo mc & to open a few Xwindows at a time, try it with Xclock and Xcalc , they are quick to load and test u see [23:45] argh... thats going to make me *apparently* remove all data on my hdd tho [23:45] spenser: I believe that it will messup again if I use nvidia-settings. But I haven't tried... [23:45] want to dual boot vista [23:45] <_sp8472_> s/upgrade/"upgrade"/ [23:45] if you have room [23:45] DJAdmiral: First XP, then Vista. The system is already dual-boot. [23:45] it prob will [23:46] o if i have room [23:46] why doesnt ubuntu see partitions? only entire disks no option to select a partition [23:46] cHoke , sure [23:46] remoteCTRL: audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Failed to connect stream: Invalid argument [23:46] Stormcr0w: Total hard disk size and partition sizes for each? [23:46] nah... already configured 3 partitions... might just format one of em [23:46] ipei: it may [23:46] if i format one partition and install ubuntu on that, would that work? [23:46] Nitrox_: now that sounds messed upXD [23:46] ipei: use the resoultion settings in the prefrences menu [23:46] cHoke , nice idea [23:46] I having some prob with bluetooth.. cant send anything from my mobile to hardy.. :s "sending failed" [23:46] ipei: its based on xrandr and should work [23:46] cHoke: depends on what type of partition it is [23:47] ok [23:47] I am upgrading to hardy as we speak, and its ony at avg. 40-80 kb/s, and I have cable internet, are the servers still flooded? [23:47] anyone hear a pop sound before any system sounds play? what's causing it? It's annoying [23:47] remoteCTRL: lol, any ideas? [23:47] ahh... DJAdmiral? [23:47] spenser: Ok, I see a prob... xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1280x1024 didn't work... In the xorg I have sat the res thingy for widescreen >.< [23:47] DJAdmiral: XP and Vista are both installed on the same IDE disk, on two separate partitions. Each partition is 40GB. Ubuntu needs to be installed on an external USB drive, 160GB ( I have allotted 5GB swap space for it) [23:47] SeaPhor: yes, try a torrent [23:47] u mean the type its formatted? NTFS FAT etc? [23:47] SeaPhor: probably... you might want to just torrent the cd [23:47] how do i configure default applications to open files? selecting a script in properties > open with > doesn't work [23:47] SeaPhor: you could get synaptic to search for a faster mirror.. [23:47] Nitrox_: do you happen to be on a thinkpad? [23:47] blankhead: in a similar theme, google for vnc and X11vnc. vnc opens a new "display" whereas X11VNC opens the _existing_ desktop display, althoug requires extra work to do so. Much easier with ssh -X, one at a time ;) [23:47] ipei: set the res thingy for widescreen? [23:48] Scunizi: how do i do that? [23:48] SeaPhor: I managed extremely well on the Argonne National Lab and MIT Media Lab mirrors yesterday. [23:48] remoteCTRL: nah [23:48] spenser: Yeah, VGA1 had modes for wide screen [23:48] e baker doesn"t see a .img as a valid dvd image file (and no the file isn't corrupted) [23:48] spenser: But now the xorg.conf seems to be empty >.< [23:48] I need help gnome baker doesn"t see a .img as a valid dvd image file (and no the file isn't corrupted) [23:48] for some reason pidgin's budylist window went away, any solutions? [23:48] Stormcr0w: Then that isn't exactly triple booting, unless your external hdd is going to be connected 24/7. However, maybe you need to specify what hard disk to look at while you're installing ubuntu. [23:48] ipei: it should be preatty much empty [23:48] clem: I installed the package - should a menu item appear or do i need to run through terminal? Also, where to i go about adding a nautilus action? [23:49] Nitrox_: what does uname -a return? [23:49] ipei: ill check em if you want to pastebin them [23:49] Whitesox2007: click on your pidgin icon in the system tray? [23:49] DJADmiral: I don't intend to remove the external drive... [23:49] remoteCTRL, its full info about kernel [23:49] I need help gnome baker doesn"t see a .img as a valid dvd image file (and no the file isn't corrupted) [23:49] wow [23:49] remoteCTRL: Linux josh-desktop 2.6.24-16-generic #1 SMP Thu Apr 10 12:47:45 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux [23:49] DJAdmiral: I just do not have space for anymore internal drives within the case [23:49] spenser: Pastebin what? HTe xorg.conf is totaly empty >.< [23:49] i need to burn it asap [23:49] i didn't know ther was one, pidgin must've updated [23:49] thanks [23:49] XD [23:49] ipei: really? [23:49] ipei: thats weird [23:49] SeaPhor: when you're in synaptic go to settings/repositories and and box that opens click Download from and choose other.. then you'll have a button to search for best mirror [23:49] spenser: Yeah, I haven't deleted it :< [23:50] Nitrox_: ok in that case... http://www.google.at/search?q=audiotestsrc+wave%3Dsine+freq%3D512+!+audioconvert+!+audioresample+!+gconfaudiosink%3A+Failed+to+connect+stream%3A+Invalid+argument&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=com.ubuntu:en-US:unofficial&client=firefox-a [23:50] gord_: thanks for that information and helping this noobie get in touch with the power of linux [23:50] wthbbqhax? does the LiveCD environment not let you explore other partitions? [23:50] Stormcr0w: Okay, then can you see an option to look at different hard disks while you're installing ubuntu? [23:50] Nitrox_: good luck:) [23:50] DJAdmiral: What do you mean? During the partitioner? [23:50] ipei: you ran sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [23:50] remoteCTRL: hahaha, thanks for trying man! I wouldn't have asked here if it was a simple problem ;) [23:50] Stormcr0w: Yes. [23:50] Simonft: mDemocritus: Scunizi: Wing_: thank you all for your replies! :-)) [23:51] could anyone tell me if you need to add repositories to ubuntu? and what are repositories exactly? [23:51] Nitrox_: sry dude [23:51] spenser: Yeah, but I did restart X server,,, [23:51] How do I close my Firefox process? [23:51] My GDM is not at the correct resolution, How to I edit it? [23:51] Hey, what is a good tool to find the temperature of my Intel Quad Core Q6600 [23:51] eboyjr: sudo killall -9 firefox [23:51] spenser: I can restart again after rewriting that command... [23:51] I'[m having some trouble getting my Mac keyboard to work on Hardy. Can anyone ehlp me? [23:51] DJAdmiral: Ubuntu sees all partitions. However, when it reaches the point where it should ask you to import data from other accounts/OS's, it fails to locate them. [23:51] ipei: the newest versions of xorg dont require xorg.conf but usually it still creates one [23:51] bachstudies: sudo apt-get install nautilus-actions [23:52] tmap1: repository is a place on the net where programs are stored [23:52] sushith: ati or nvidia graphics? [23:52] remoteCTRL, Thanks [23:52] DJAdmiral: Then, once installation is over, the system restarts and fails to see GRUB [23:52] eboyjr: np [23:52] could anyone tell me if you need to add repositories to ubuntu? and what are repositories exactly? [23:52] my trash won't empty. even after sudo nautilus and navigating to the various cans in the sys. Any ideas? [23:52] bachstudies: then you can run the nautilus-actions editor from the menu and configure a launcher to mintUpload for your context menu. [23:52] DJAdmiral: It boots straight into the Vista bootloader [23:52] i need to burn it asap [23:52] i need to burn it asap [23:52] tmap1 you dont need them but if you want additional software you will have to add them [23:52] I need help gnome baker doesn"t see a .img as a valid dvd image file (and no the file isn't corrupted) [23:52] gapagos: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:52] localgod12 do you need to add them to ubuntu? [23:52] ipei: umm try just creating one and adding Section "Screen" [23:52] SubSection "Display" [23:52] Virtual 3000 1400 [23:52] EndSubSection [23:52] EndSection [23:52] spenser: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:53] Stormcr0w: That would probably be because of two operating systems instead of one. As far as I know, importing settings during installation is still in beta [23:53] Is there any support for emulating a serialport through a usbport available on Ubuntu? [23:53] clem: should this point to the mintupload.py file in /usr/lib/linuxmint/mintupload? [23:53] Stormcr0w: however, you would need to install GRUB on your IDE internal hard disk === T1m0thy_ is now known as T1m0thy [23:53] gapagos: try brasero or k3b [23:53] tmap1: hey, good to see ya [23:53] good to see you seaphor [23:53] ipei: hey sorry but I have to go got work in 30 minuts [23:54] spenser: Ok, now the VGA1 is in 1248x1024 [23:54] ipei: yea [23:54] gapagos: check out http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3115582 [23:54] could anyone tell me where i can find some good repositories? [23:54] so how do I get dual monitor support going [23:54] spenser: THats ok, you really helpt me a lot. [23:54] Stormcr0w: Your ubuntu cd is a livecd, version 8.04, yes? [23:54] ipei: your welcome [23:54] spenser: Thanks! :) [23:54] DJADmiral: I have attempted this once. I selected the "vista/longhorn" partition. What happened after reboot, when I selected Vista, I got error message "NTDLR is missing" instead of seeing the bootloader [23:54] Right now its cloning, and I go into the prefs and turn off cloning and arrange my monitors and nada [23:54] no love [23:54] bachstudies: point it to /usr/lib/linuxmint/mintUpload/mintUpload.py [23:54] cHoke , KIWI is a ubuntu with some good drivers , will work better than ubuntu 8.04 [23:54] DJAdmiral: Yes it is a 8.04 live cd [23:54] Hi, I lost the sound, I dont understand why. Can you help me ? [23:54] bachstudies: with options %d/%f [23:55] Stormcr0w: supergrub disk is perfect for repairing broken bootloaders === jussi01 is now known as jussiol === secleinteer is now known as seclein [23:55] platyhelminth: make sure you're running the generic kernel and not the i386 one. === jussio1 is now known as jussi01 === seclein is now known as secleinteer [23:55] ? === jussiol is now known as jussio1 [23:55] Stormcr0w: supergrub disk is cool, u can edit the lines a thousand times till u get it right, wellsaid remotectrl [23:55] !forums [23:55] The Ubuntu forums can be found at http://www.ubuntuforums.org.

Thanks again for all your help [23:55] Hello all..can someone people help me with Sopcast problem on Ubuntu 7.1.0? [23:55] platyhelminth: what does "uname -r" tell you? [23:56] I'm having trouble getting an Apple USB keyboard I have to work under Hasrdy. Can anybodsy help me? It's either a problem with xorg or a problem withn GNOME. [23:56] bye all [23:56] Stormcr0w: or you could install grub directly from your livecd and pinpoint which exact hard disk you want it on. [23:56] bachstudies: yes [23:56] clem: the system you currently have installed [23:56] All: so I should install GRUB on the IDE, then when it does not work, install supergrub and start troubleshooting? [23:56] bye pop :) [23:56] uname -rclem 2.6.24-16-generic [23:56] is there an unmount command? [23:56] gord_: i never needed to edit some lines a thousand times as supergrub actually did it all by itself? [23:56] wabkia: umount [23:56] wabkia: umount [23:56] Stormcr0w: Yeah. [23:56] wabkia: umount [23:56] DJAdmiral: How do I do that and when? Before or after install?

[23:57] wabkia: you have to tell it what to umount.. like umount /media/disk1 [23:57] DJAdmiral: How do I install GRUB from the live cd, I mean... [23:57] yes [23:57] it goes [23:57] Stormcr0w: After install. From your ubuntu livecd, pop open a terminal and type in [23:57] Is there a key shortcut that will open a terminal.... i think it has and F1-F5 key or something... [23:57] -bash: unmount: command not found [23:57] eboyjr: alt f2 [23:57] im logged in with sudo -i [23:57] wabkia, :umount [23:57] Scunizi, How do I get bak? Alt+F6 ?
