[00:00] Oh, good [00:00] Lunestra: cedega, a fork of wine, does [00:00] Lunestra: wine is free (like beer) but crossover costs money. It's based on wine but very well packaged, improved, etc [00:00] ytnyl: do you have a volume control wheel on your cd drive, crank it up too. [00:00] wow its been along time since i have used irc lol [00:00] I'm going to have to go with somethign free, I don't have money === waffles_ is now known as wafflesdr [00:01] why some commands are full path to the file whereas some of them are only the name [00:01] Ltl: thanks for the tip [00:01] ? [00:01] Wine will run many programs though... Graphics can be a problem though. You should check out ine resources on the net for specific progerams [00:01] for example. the command for opening Skype is only "skype" [00:01] wes i think i have something set wrong or something [00:01] kestutis: The files which are in the known PATHs of the system execute without full path having to be known [00:02] My comptuer isn't very good anyway, so highly graphics-intensive games are ebyond me. The best I can do is Morrowind xD [00:02] oh ya know i have a new router give me a sec ill run passive [00:02] I'm trying to move a hard drive from my Ubuntu box to a different computer, but every time I remove it, I can only boot into BusyBox. I know that the hdd that I'm moving off isn't the hdd that Ubuntu is installed on, and it's not even mounted. If I attach a CDROM to the same IDE channel that the HDD was on, the system boots fine. So I'm pretty sure it's a problem with GRUB and where it's pointing to boot from. [00:02] zone5, ya i see your messages [00:02] genii: so how the system knows the paths? [00:03] kestutis: printenv|grep PATH will tell you the ones it knows automatically about [00:03] is it any default path as c:/windows/system32/ in windows? [00:03] kestutis: It's a variable which can be set in your environment file [00:03] Well I'll be back to ask lots bore quetions in 4-6 weeks when my Ubuntu Disk gets here. Sooner if I feel motivated to attmept downloading it (not likely, my internets suck) Seeya [00:03] *more [00:03] kestutis: It's a similar idea, yes === danielw_ is now known as Danielbw_home [00:03] Lunestra: http://appdb.winehq.org/ [00:03] Hey, I have a wubi problem [00:04] so, what's that path in linux? [00:04] kestutis, from a terminal type "echo $PATH", you will see the directories seperated by commas, just like in windows [00:05] the env command is a little more interesting [00:05] kestutis: type 'env' no quotes in a terminal, those are you environment variables. [00:05] he guys, my cd wont mount, at all [00:05] onetinsoldier: Yes, the full output of it shows all youe environment variables [00:05] ya [00:05] anyone here use torrentflux, i am having trouble with one of the settings on my remote server [00:05] any idea whats going on, it is there its /dev/scd0 it says that it is an incorrect fiel type [00:05] genii: ya :-) [00:06] aw, no more santa hat icon for VLC [00:06] antonia: Are you specifying iso9660 filesystem for instance when trying to manually mount it? [00:06] i see i wasn't good at Windows, too! [00:06] ytnyl: Does volume work well now? [00:06] genii: actually, its just audio cd's [00:06] Hey, I am trying to install 8.04 on a iBook (PowerPC), but when I boot to the CD I get a blank screen. I tried live video=ofonly but it just made the screen turn a greenish color and faded to white. Any advice? [00:07] antonia: You can't really mount an audio cd [00:07] so $PATH shows where systems looks firstly, if i haven't typed the full path? [00:07] kestutis: Yes [00:07] kestutis, exactly [00:07] kestutis: use echo $PATH [00:08] /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games [00:08] Does anyone know why my screen, usually after 2 or 3 minutes of logging in, goes momentarily black, then returns to normal? It does this only once, and it is fine afterwards. It's just odd behavior. [00:08] genii: yes but shouldnt it show up in the sistom try [00:09] genii: *system tray [00:09] Enter http://www.hostgator.com/ i need some help i new to running a server is that a good price for what i get for just the hosting plan [00:09] kestutis: Any command typed in a terminal will be searched for in every directory in your path. same goes for ms windows. [00:09] and how could i edit environment variables? [00:09] i need to mount an ntfs drive that is still marked as in use by windows is there any way to do this? [00:10] kestutis: /etc/environment [00:10] hi [00:11] kestutis: there are other system-wide settings in various /etc/ files. checkout linux tutorials, there are many. [00:11] Does anyone know why my screen, usually after 2 or 3 minutes of logging in, goes momentarily black, then returns to normal? It does this only once, and it is fine afterwards. It's just odd behavior. [00:12] TwoEqualsTen: Likely DPMS setting of monitor [00:13] genii: it wont show up as there so i don't know how to play the audio files or rip them [00:13] genii, what is that? I'll also check it out. It's never done that before with prior version (7.04 up to 8.10), but it's done it on every 8.10 install. No biggie I guess Just wondering. [00:14] TwoEqualsTen: In your xorg.conf file likely DPMS is set for the monitor [00:15] genii, I'll check it out. I've been reading as well. Thanks for the info :) [00:15] I'm having trouble with my Ubuntu install. it is labelling my computer as x86_64, when it's really x86. Anyone know how to resolve this? I installed via Wubi [00:16] antonia: Perhaps you need to have something like grip installed [00:16] hey does anyone knwo how to make ubuntu faster i just downloaded it and it seems really slow? [00:16] ethan: try xubuntu [00:16] of course, i should act as root, with gksudo nautilus [00:16] yes? [00:17] delaman: does that involve uninstalling my whole os? [00:17] ethan: yes well you can install them both on the same HD [00:17] ethan: that could be a server/link issue, google for bandwidth testing and check for more accurate benchmarks. [00:17] delaman: becuase i ahd to configurate myslef and i really dotn want to have to go through it all again [00:18] another question how to set the proccesses which should be started on system start-up? [00:18] delaman: is there a way i can just update my ubuntu to xubuntu through a download rahter than installing? [00:19] ethan: yes [00:19] !fonts [00:19] Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer [00:19] ethan, i think the package is called xubuntu-desktop [00:19] genii: no audio programs recognize it, like theres no way for me to tell anything to play the cd, which seems wrong, how do i play music from it? [00:19] delaman:becasue im also running a dual os with xp and ubuntu but the ubuntu seems slow [00:19] ethan: sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install xubuntu-desktop [00:19] ethan: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/xubuntu [00:19] I'm having trouble pinning ONLY [00:19] kestutis: menu - system - preferences - sessions is a start, install BUM to allow/disallow certain processes on boot.

(click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) [00:21] ethan, no that will do it [00:21] ethan: just do the command then log out and choose xfce as your session [00:22] antonia: Have you tried opening the cd from inside an app like Grip or so? [00:22] delaman: so when i choose between windows and ubuntu when i start up it will say xubuntu right? [00:22] ethan: depends how you have gdm the login manager setup [00:23] delaman: ok thank you [00:23] ethan: np [00:23] woo lots of ppl here [00:24] i installed a game using this: http://www.blog.highub.com/linux/install-and-play-unreal-tournament-on-ubuntu/ [00:24] anyone have fun with any new steam games? lagging an such o.o [00:24] delaman: what was the command again i lost it?

[00:29] DiiPhantom: open a terminal type man command-name [00:29] antonia: Yes, it's weird. [00:30] cedega > wine in gaming? =p [00:30] LtL, you see nothing came up, i typed man ./ [00:30] nothign showed [00:30] DiiPhantom, yep use man. if you don't know the command you are looking for, then apropos does a keyword search [00:30] DiiPhantom, ./ isnt a command [00:30] sudo ./? [00:30] DiiPhantom: ./ is not a command, it's procedure. [00:30] i just got cedega today for cod4, much better framerate so far for that particular game [00:30] hi All, have you experience using xinetd ? [00:30] LtL, check this http://www.blog.highub.com/linux/install-and-play-unreal-tournament-on-ubuntu/ [00:31] hmm I havn't tried cod4 in wine yet [00:31] at that link it says how to install ut99, now i want to remove it [00:31] i need to create a log file to store all the message that runs on localhost port:8000 (tcp) [00:31] LtL, at that link it says how to install ut99, now i want to remove it [00:31] have a problem: My old USB WUSB adapter isn't working anymore -- I have to now have a binary or firmware of some sort, and everytime it would freeze on trying to grab it and my keyboard would stop responding.

[00:39] anytime [00:39] How can I go about turning an old router into a switch? [00:39] Is it feasible to run Windows in Ubuntu in a VM having only 1 GiB of RAM? [00:39] Win XP [00:39] mn - absolutely [00:39] ethereality: have you tried recreating the file? [00:39] @LTL: thanks anyway [00:39] hi is there a way to check whether one of your hdds is turned of or not? [00:40] I run xp VMs with 96mb of ram [00:40] mn - i would just recommend more than 1 hdd, and at least a dual core processor [00:40] just strip it down [00:40] mn - dont *have* to, but then you wont notice a decrease in performance on the host [00:40] * onetinsoldier uses the might sendmail [00:40] wj32, I will try that. Thanks for the suggestion, although I wish I could determine what the error was. [00:40] mighty* [00:41] omny_devi: Single core, 1.7 GHz processor [00:41] i'm starting using thes http://dpaste.com/104743/ [00:41] can anyone tell me how i can reset my password? [00:41] and runs : xinetd -filelog /home/sasha/Scrivania/log give me : http://dpaste.com/104744/ [00:41] mn - it will still work, you just might notice a slight decrease in performance on your machine [00:41] mn - it is 100% worth at least trying if nothing else :) [00:41] wj32: the 'passwd' command [00:41] passwd [00:41] oops [00:41] hehe [00:42] doesnt that change your password? [00:42] the problem is i dont know my password [00:42] omny_devi: ok. where can I get a freeware vm for ubuntu and how do I install windows in it? [00:42] mn - i heard ubuntu comes with one, but i have always used vmware [00:42] wj32: oh, ok. try sudo passwd [00:42] they have a free server out there that does about anything you would want it to [00:43] onetinsoldier: sorry! i meant my IRC password! [00:43] onetinsoldier: Um, if he can't login how is he supposed to get to the point of being able to use sudo? [00:43] wj32: never mind... you are hosed for the moment [00:43] he needs to know his password to sudo though [00:43] sorry i didnt state what i was trying to do more clearly [00:43] !root password [00:43] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [00:43] Skippy1981: Exactly. The ol catch-22 [00:43] Hey guys. [00:43] i forgot my password once, but i used the live cd to reset it. i forget exactly how, but i am sure google would know [00:43] !forgot password [00:43] i meant my IRC password... [00:43] Sorry, I don't know anything about forgot password [00:44] I'm wondering if you don't mind sharing your opinion but what are your thought on Wubi? [00:44] nevermind [00:44] is it possible to boot off a live cd, mount hard disk and edit passwd file directly? [00:44] wj32: /msg nickserv help or try the website http://freenode.net [00:44] skippy - yes [00:44] Skippy1981: no [00:44] It's all good, ignore me. :P [00:44] LtL: thanks [00:44] I'll go. [00:44] omny_devi: you think!? [00:44] i did, so did my pal [00:45] we broke into a co-workers box cause he just stopped showing up and we had to get some stuff off of it [00:45] it was gentoo, and i know little compared to them [00:45] omny_devi: thats good to know, thanks [00:45] LtL anytime :) [00:46] can anyone tell me the CLI to restart xserver ? [00:46] omny_devi: iirc the passwords on buntu are encrypted to /etc/shadow but i dunno. [00:47] Does a VM for Windows come with Ubuntu by default? [00:47] zone5: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [00:47] i would have to get a hold of mike to get the instructions [00:47] ty Scunizi [00:47] Skippy1981: Yes. You just need to know what to put in there. There are better ways to re-set a password though [00:47] but i know for a 100% fact we did it. well, i was there, he did the work [00:47] i am still new to linux [00:47] mn: no that would be a violation of MS's licensing. [00:48] uoh ... i think i crashed it again lol [00:48] Scunizi: Not one with Windows installed, just one in which Windows can be run. [00:48] mn: virtual box should fit you needs [00:49] they make virtual box for linux? [00:49] mn: you can install virtual machine programs . they don't come with images of any os.. it's up to you to either use what's called an "appliance" which is a preconfigured virtual machine image of something or install an os of your choosing into the vm. If you need to install windows then you have to have the cd & key [00:49] ardchoille, you still around? [00:50] omny_devi: yup [00:50] omny_devil: yes, ther's a linux version of virtual box [00:50] !vbox [00:50] virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from !Gutsy as 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [00:50] mn, the open source version of virtual box is in the ubuntu repositories. I personally use vmware though [00:50] Scunizi: I do have a genuine copy of Windows [00:50] sweet, i didnt know, been using vmware workstation, damn app is expensive [00:50] :/ [00:50] mn: like sim0n says.. virtual box works well. and you can load your windows into it. if you need usb support get vbox from their site. [00:50] Skippy1981: Is vmware free? [00:51] but isn't there a freeware version of vmware? [00:51] hi everyone, whenever i launch amule it freezes, it takes like 30 seconds for it to start properly, and in the mean time the system is slower. I tried removing and re-installing it, but no joy. any suggestions? thanks [00:51] Skippy1981: you can get vmware server [00:51] vmware player and server are both free - workstation does have some cool features though i pulled the trigger on a license a while back [00:51] omny_devi: haven't had a problem with vmware... if you stick with vmware server, it's free enough to run basic things on a personal basis [00:51] yes download vmware server for linux [00:51] or you can try the pirate bay [00:51] gnome-mixer disappeared after installing xfce4 how can i get gnome-mixer back? [00:51] it is free, but you have to fill in some stuff about yourself to get the installation key [00:51] omny_devi: vmplayer works too, but depends on a different format of the files [00:51] i use tpb for everything else, mostly xp iso's and such [00:51] pan: gnome mixer available under gnome [00:51] mn: vmware server is free.. virtual box is free.. I've used both and like both.. for me, now, virtual box I like better [00:51] no fee though, and it is only free as in beer - it is not opensource [00:52] its gone in gnome [00:52] yeah, we just got a lot of workstation licenses for work, then ended up not needing them. we use esx now so i bought one from my boss [00:52] ah, ok [00:52] when i type gnome-mixer it doesn't work [00:52] Scunizi: virtualbox has given me grief, I might try it again in a few weeks [00:52] bash: gnome-mixer: command not found [00:52] Gnea: really? why..? [00:52] I'm back, Can anyone help me with getting a .it file to work with a music player. [00:52] if I rsync down a file from a remote host, and then I want to delete that from on the remote host how would I do so? the --delete flags dont cover this.. or am I missing something? [00:53] Scunizi: well, I tried porting a vmware-made .vmx over to it while following the documentation on it, and it simply refused to work, even when I tried going into safe mode [00:53] dougl: yes [00:53] pan: it's gnome-alsamixer [00:53] pan: not gnome-mixer [00:53] oh [00:53] is there anyone who can help me make my ubuntu boot up faster? [00:53] thx abuyusuf [00:53] Gnea: yes.. I've had those issues too.. just decided to reinstall win natively to vbox.. [00:53] i cant get Guest Additons working on vbox ose, keeps saying something bout kernel [00:54] Scunizi: that's my plan too, just have had to put it on hold :) [00:54] ardchoille, was wondering how you got your applications to the awn dock - I cannot seem to figer that out? [00:54] Happy new years! How can I configure bash to remember the last path I was looking at and return me there at my next login? [00:54] thx [00:54] appreciate it [00:54] ardchoille, ie the icon to launch them [00:54] is there a way to make a help screen pause like ... dir /p in win ... i need to sudo nvidia-settings -h "/p" what replaces the /p ? [00:54] nickpatt0n, there's a breanstorm about that [00:54] eseven73: check out #vbox or their site.. I know that there is a solution to that. [00:54] how do I restart pulseaudio? [00:54] nickpatt0n, maybe available in jaunty [00:54] danny: sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio restart [00:55] dougl: you should have an app in System > Preferences called awn manager, run that [00:55] Scunizi: yeah i think i have to install kernel source but it didnt work [00:55] zone5: sudo nvidia-settings -h | less [00:55] abuyusuf, I ran boot chart and am wondering what services I need o kill [00:55] ardchoille, k thanks [00:55] eseven73: install build-essential and dkms [00:55] Flannel: genii: so I created a preferences file, and I think I got it set up ok-- and I'm focusing on one of the first packages to revert-- but it's still telling me it's going to have to remove a TON of packages: Package: dpkg/n Pin: version 1.14.16*/n Pin-Priority: 1001 [00:55] hi all, how can I export dpkg/apt configuration (including auto/manual) of 1 system and import that to another? [00:55] nickpatt0n, sorry i got what you mean now [00:55] Aggrav8d, i would be interested to see a solution for this as well - only way i can see it being done is with scripts on shutdown and startub to save and set the $PWD variable [00:56] Scunizi: on my 8.04 box i didnt even need anything to get guest additions working, i have build-essentail already [00:56] ill try dkms thanks Scunizi [00:56] ok [00:56] nickpatt0n, ok, run "top" [00:56] ok just sc [00:56] !clone > mathijs [00:56] mathijs, please see my private message [00:56] eseven73: dkms keeps the kernel updated for vbox with kernel upgrades.. [00:56] Flannel: genii: it ignores when i do apt-get upgrade-- but when i do apt-get install dpkg, then it picks up the preferences and tries teh downgrade-- but in doing tells me it's going to remove the entire world [00:56] OK, so i can't get to wikipedia, rockbox, or the GNOME site for rythmbox; is anyone else having these/other internet connectivity issues? I have verified on another (windows) machine on the network that these sites are inaccessible, anyone else want to check so i can see if the issue is localized or just bizarre outages? [00:56] zone5: did that work for you? [00:56] i am running 8.o4 on my primary machine [00:56] i can get to wikipedia... [00:57] abuyusuf, what nexxt? [00:57] ehmck: go ahead and pastebin the output [00:57] hmmm [00:57] Cmdbbq [00:57] ehmck: I'm pretty sure I told you earlier it was a risky business to downgrade, due to dependencies [00:57] and the gnome site for rythmbox [00:57] Send me the sute. [00:57] Site* [00:57] abuyusuf, what nexxt? [00:57] nickpatt0n, what is the fist process on the list ? [00:57] http://en.wikipedia.org [00:58] Xorg [00:58] nickpatt0n, after Xorg ? [00:58] Is gOS supported here? [00:58] gnome-pannl [00:58] Flannel: genii: http://paste.ubuntu.com/98668/ [00:58] cmdbbq: I can't get to wikipedia either. gnome.org comes up quick. [00:58] pannel [00:58] 3 [00:58] is there a file i can edit or something that i could reduce my boot time on 8.04? [00:58] I'm in Australia and I can get to both... [00:59] genii: i know, but what other options do i have? [00:59] nickpatt0n, i think you've many graphics work and panels that eat up your memory [00:59] a few weeks ago i had a problem where i couldn't get to the pirate bay and mininova [00:59] ok [00:59] i just used my ISP's proxy [00:59] I'm running eeebuntu 2.0 [00:59] hey does anyone know what the best music player program is? [00:59] quod libet? [00:59] Scunizi: can you get to http://www.rockbox.org/ ? [01:00] bummer .. I am stuck at CLI again tryed to activate nvidia drivers and it isnt loading gui ... anyone know about ubuntu 8.10 2 nvidia 8600gt with 3 monitors ? [01:00] Both sites are fully accessible [01:00] hello all can anyone tell me where i can find libva-dev for intrepid [01:00] nickpatt0n, try freeing up your desktop from extra graphics work, also try removing some items from your panels, ( top and bottom panels ) [01:00] ok [01:00] ehmck: Reinstall is probably less time consuming for this in the end of it all. [01:00] how? [01:00] cmdbbq: yep.. but there are sites I use for work that don't come up.. try www.reotrans.com for me. [01:00] hikenboot: do you mean libvala-dev? [01:00] genii: i was afraid of that [01:00] hikenboot: because there's no libva-dev [01:00] hey does anyone knwo what the best music player program is and also the best burning program? [01:00] I have 2 gigs of ram [01:01] nickpatt0n, on your desktop, right-click then "change background" [01:01] works for me Scunizi [01:01] could be a typo inte README.txt for vaapi? [01:01] cmdbbq: arrg.. [01:01] ehmck: right. You'd likely have to go through and pin all of those packages. It won't downgrade when one of their depends goes below the version, it'll just remove [01:01] hikenboot: no vaapi-dev either. what are you trying to do? [01:01] ehmck: (Xv3 depends on Yv3, downgrading to Yv2 will just remove X, not downgrade to Xv2) [01:01] hey does anyone knwo what the best music player program is and also the best burning program? [01:01] it says that the graphic effects are turned off [01:01] ethan: hard to tell... depends on what you like [01:01] Anyone available to help with my problem as I've asked twice and not gotten a reply. [01:01] ethan: try banshee [01:01] nickpatt0n, 2GiGa ram ?, i think the graphics not the problem so [01:01] !best | ethan [01:01] ethan: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [01:01] Flannel: crap [01:02] nickpatt0n, ok, go back to the terminal and "top" again, and what is the third and forth processes [01:02] genii: Flannel: so what is best way to reinstall? reinstall ubuntu? [01:02] wj32 trying to get on video card processing support for my nvidia card so I can offload mpeg processing from the cpu [01:02] i simply use brasero and rhytmbox [01:02] jesus, who programmed ubottu? its so friggen smart [01:02] once I get back to my installation, how do I set fdisk to automadiclky mount the new partitons I made into the filkesystem [01:02] ethan: depends on preference what are you looking for in a player? there are a few burners i can recomend k3b for KDE, gnomebaker for GNOME [01:02] ehmck: that's certainly the easiest way, yeah. [01:02] ehmck: Backup whatevers in your /home/yourname and /etc [01:02] hikenboot: VA-API [01:03] genii: /home and /etc-- is that all I should worry about? [01:03] ehmck: Or if you have a separate /home, you're alright with that as is. [01:03] cmdbbq: im running gnome so it would have to be gnomebaker [01:03] thank you [01:03] gnom-screensav,metacity, networkmanagr [01:03] hikenboot: isn't that really new? the only page i can find is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/mobile-hw-decode [01:03] Flannel: what do you mean? spearate /home? [01:03] ehmck: Unless you've put stuff somewhere else, yeah (perhaps other stuff in /var, but you'd know about it) [01:03] wj32 yes [01:03] ehmck: Those are the most important [01:03] !separatehome | ehmck [01:03] ehmck: Your home folder is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home folder to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [01:03] I can't get Ubuntu Server 8.10 to install on my server box. It won't detect the hard drives on a Silicon Image Sil3114 controller. [01:03] ehmck: If you move it to its own partition, you can reinstall "around" it [01:04] ah [01:04] hikenboot: the page says its going to be implemented. so you'll just have to wait :( [01:04] katanid: Try the regular install CD (use the alternate CD and choose a "command line install") it may bethat the server kernel won't recognize it, but the generic would. [01:04] nickpatt0n, that's strange!, how much CPU usage in front of gnome-panel ? [01:04] Flannel: genii: i think i'll just save it off-- guess I have the excuse I needed to go to Intrepid now-- thanks for all your help! [01:04] thanks [01:05] Flannel: I've tried the regular 8.10 disk (AMD64) -- it doesn't work either [01:05] I can't tell everything is moving back and forth in the termnal [01:05] nickpatt0n: what are you trying to do again?

[01:09] Flannel: It? [01:09] it boots up slowly [01:09] Enselic: It's likely something hogging those key combinations. Try chvt N (change virtual terminal to N) once logged in, see if that works.

I am getting rid of windows entirely.... and I would love to be able to just erase the partition and expand this one over it... would that be possible without having to start all over in ubuntu [03:18] ? [03:18] kestutis: yes it must be gpc [03:18] DasEI1: thx, I will try to do that [03:18] Hi .. is there a quick way to figure out what version of Flash I have installeD? [03:18] TeamColtra[NADC]: you can install gparted [03:18] I am already backing up my /home so then I can have most settings... but I don't want to have to redownload all my apps [03:18] TeamColtra[NADC]: sudo apt-get install gparted [03:18] ReXiO: I had a board in that spot before, made a dos floppy with bat file to autorun the bios update utility, and saved the thing from the trashheap [03:18] excuse me.. all [03:19] wj32: That will allow me to just expand the size of this partition without having to worry about making it unstable? [03:19] what is the relatime option of /etc/fstab ? [03:19] TeamColtra[NADC]: yep [03:19] Okay, off to play with command lines et-al. [03:19] Bye. [03:19] TeamColtra[NADC]: im assuming you're using ext3 [03:19] I am compiling wine with make -j2 on a intel core2duo but the cpu freq stays on 800Mhz instead of 2.00GHz [03:19] lol I was told earlier "you will have to start over... but back up your /home and it will save your settings" [03:20] mode is ondemand [03:20] genii: ok thx!, do you remember where to get a re-flasher BIOS utility? [03:20] TeamColtra[NADC]: if the former win-parti is next to a linux-parti you want to resize, yes, mind uuid's in fstab [03:20] Thxpnp^Laptop: read the man page for the 'mount' command. it's kind of similar to the 'noatime' option [03:20] TeamColtra[NADC]: actually, you need to get the gparted livcd [03:20] looking for a USB boot cd image, anyone know where i might find one? [03:20] onetinsoldier, thank you [03:20] TeamColtra[NADC]: *livecd. you can't resize your linux partition live, unless its xfs or something [03:21] !usb | Ash_ [03:21] Ash_: 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 [03:21] Thxpnp^Laptop: yw [03:21] ^ Typically you can't work with a partition while you are on it, I understand [03:21] TeamColtra[NADC]: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [03:21] TeamColtra[NADC]: The best idea I've heard so far is to make a seperate partition (possibly encripted for security) for your home. This allows you to mix and match linux distros without need of resetting user preferences every time. [03:21] well im not using ubuntu, it seems the mandriva site is dead :P [03:21] no one is active on their channel [03:22] would it be better for system performance if i modified my 32bit install to accept 4gb of ram or if i installed 64bit?(i would rather do the first because it doesn't make me redo everything) [03:22] Ash_: USB boot cd? [03:22] kolby: That would be ideal if I used anything other than ubuntu... I have tried almost every other Linux OS out there.. and I by far love ubuntu best [03:22] ReXiO: It depends on the bios firmware manufacturer...in my case was Phoenix which has it's own updater.

Maybe you'll become a MOTU and want to contribute packages to debian and ubuntu. When that happens, you'll thank yourself later. Or suppose you want to try to build your own linux from scratch to learn the internals or for sheer geek cred ;) There are many reasons you'd want to do this. I plan on doing it myself, I just haven't gotten around to it. [03:24] ReXiO: if the board isn't to old, manufacturer's hp, else #hardware [03:24] ReXiO: Best thing is look at the motherboard and look up the firmware update for it on the motherboard manufacturer site.

[03:33] hi all - got an issue with sendmail taking a really long time to start up at boot - the google seems to indicate that the problem is with my hostname not being mapped in /etc/hosts, but I do have it in there... anyone have any other ideas? [03:34] i have installed openssh-server and changed listening port in /etc/ssh/sshd_config. i can access my box from another computer on my wlan by sshing to 192.168.0.x:x. i have done portforwarding on my router, so that i can access my box from outside my lan, but when i try to access my box from someone else's house, it doesn't respond. the ip is responding to ping. any thoughts/help is very much appreciated. thanks! :-) [03:34] dr_willis: its not a problem pc...its only ubuntu and mint that gives be the error on installing [03:34] outoftime: how long does it take? mine takes bout 15 secs [03:35] kristian_: that can only mean you havent port-forwarded it [03:35] outoftime: and i don thave anything in my /etc/hosts [03:35] eseven73: yeah, that sounds about right. long enough for it to drop out of the graphical startup window. i'd say it's well over 50% of my total boot time... [03:35] yeah [03:35] i ended up uninstalling it outoftime [03:36] eseven73: wish i could, but i'm a web dev so need it running locally...

The installer encountered an error copying files to the hard disk: errno5 input/output erro [03:37] FloridaGuy, ive had ubuntu not boot/load problerly on one box.. but xubuntu did. From what i gather it can be due to the very high compression used on the cd images.. Ive not had any issues with any of them since ive started using the unetbootin tool to make bootable/installable media on my THumbdrives.. and the Thumbdruives install about 4x as fast as cd also. [03:37] wj32: ah, so it's the order that matters... awesome, thank you [03:37] You know... I was looking through my applications and what I have... and I think it would be FASTER for me to zip and upload the files that are important to my server... and then just do a clean install of Ubuntu... and then just redownload things I need...

I'm getting desperate here [03:51] kristian_, DMZ simultaniously forwards all ports to your selected PC, it is therefore very insucure - however assuming your machine is not for production use and is not running any other services you should be safe to test it [03:51] !ics | ikyn_ [03:51] ikyn_: If you want to share the internet connection of your ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php [03:51] izinucs: I've been there and tried everything [03:51] I can't use firestarter, I need to be able to download it first [03:51] Does anyone know how to activate Bluetooth on an E1505?

I would be tempted to reset the router and run through the steps from scratch [03:53] Skippy1981 : already done that. ;-) (been trying for a long time now :-/) [03:53] kristian_, port forwarding is usually very simple to do, it sounds like you know what you are doing and are hitting a router glicth here [03:53] !ics [03:53] If you want to share the internet connection of your ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php [03:54] kristian_, missed a lot but are you trying to ssh into your box remotely from outside your lan? [03:54] kristian_, the only possibility i can think of is that your ISP blocks the port you are attempting to use - this is very rare though, only normally done with email [03:54] kristian_: i have a suggestion: give someone here your ip address and they can try to connect [03:55] Skippy1981 : meh! :-( will try to see if i can find something about the router being buggy or something, it's an old model, unsupported though. thanks for your time/help. :-) [03:55] izinucs : yes i am! [03:55] has anyone tried windows 7 [03:55] no worries, sorry i can't me of more help - might be worth trying to ssh over port 80 though, just in case your ISP is the problem [03:55] Skippy1981 : i have tryed using port 22, 2277, and the one im currently using.

[03:56] sorry [03:56] wj32 : i have given the ip:port to two people and both have tried but not been able to connect, i even went to my friends house and tried myself, no luck. [03:56] Skippy1981 : nextgentel (norway) [03:56] kristian_: ok [03:56] kristian_, Skippy1981 might have the answer.. many ISP's block specific ports .. typically 80 and occationally 20/21.. their end user agreements are that you won't put a server on their system with a home user account. so if you've used one of those ports chane it. [03:56] how do i add another irc to xchat? [03:56] Chicano: Network > Channels... [03:57] and then just put the irc? [03:57] izinucs : yeah, i tried other ports, but still nothing, could the isp somehow block "ssh" in general? seems odd. and i dont think nextgentel does that, but then again im not to sure. [03:57] Chicano: well the channel name [03:58] thanks? [03:58] Chicano: if theres a channel for discussing windows i'm sure it'll be there [03:58] kristian_, it is possible for an ISP to block all ports except for web traffic ones - ie 80 and 443 [03:58] hello all--I admit I got lazy and installed a package from source using make install ...now I have to reverse what it did...anyone know how [03:59] kristian_, so you could try connecting over those, and port forward port 80 to port 22 for example [03:59] hikenboot: no, you can't do that easily [03:59] kristian_, it'd be hard for them to tell that it's a ssh connection. so you might just try port 5701 which I think is used by the vnc protocol.. I've used that on cox communications got a connection. never tried with ssh. [03:59] is there a way to know what files it changed so i can aptitude remove --purge them? [03:59] Skippy1981 : ok, i really don't think nextgentel is blocking anything, but im willing to try. :-) [04:00] is HTTPS port 81 or 443 [04:00] izinucs : will look into it. [04:00] hikenboot: not easily [04:00] 443 i think [04:00] hikenboot: well no [04:00] thanks all! :-) (im sure ill be back in a minute or two. :-P) [04:00] kristian_, another thing you could try is to take the router out of the equation and connect your box directly to WAN, this would prove the problme is the router. However you can only do this if your modem etc is seperate to the router of course [04:00] i messed up with my sessions autostart apps [04:01] hikenboot: you could try and install it again [04:01] hikenboot: this time logging the files it adds [04:01] Skippy1981 : true, i should do that, but i dont have any cables lying around. :-P i should go and get one tommorow. [04:01] how about a way for mplayer to reinstall itself and its dependancies ? [04:01] hikenboot: oh i see you're trying to get that va-api thing working [04:01] hikenboot: apt-get? [04:01] how do i make a new startup session (with new list of autostart apps) ? [04:01] trying to get rid of it...it killed mplayer [04:02] hikenboot: in that case you can just reinstall mplayer [04:02] hikenboot: unless when you did make install it installed to /usr/local [04:03] silence? [04:04] how can I find out how many times the heads are parking on my external USB HDD? [04:05] wj32 sorry looking perhaps i could use build-dep [04:05] afk [04:05] man hdparm maybe [04:05] afk?

[04:15] zetheroo, yes [04:15] i hav a problem controling my aduio with the top keys on my laptop [04:16] Son_of_Demetrius: you simply download the packages from your other computer and put them in /var/cache/apt/archives [04:16] how do i configure the class for my bluetooth device... setting class in main.conf doesnt change anything in bluetoothd -d -n's debugging output regarding class...

If it does it would make sense for the LAMP install to create a user for it to connect with - connecting as root is bad practice [04:16] it used to be configured in hcid.conf but that file doesnt exist anymore [04:16] Son_of_Demetrius: ok never mind. i think you should ask someone else [04:17] lol you took over wj32 why stop now? [04:17] eseven73: cbb [04:17] i hav a problem controling my aduio with the top keys on my laptop [04:17] I'm actually learning from you wj32 :) [04:17] I downloaded a bunch of stuff last night thru my friends cable connection...I broght my comp home..powered up and I don't know where to start looking for what I downloaded? [04:18] cbb? [04:18] what package do I need for ndiswrapper. I installed ndiswrapper-common and it says it needs ndiswrapper-util, and the util package says it's been replaced by -common [04:18] Son goto the path that you downloaded it in... [04:18] eseven73: what, the apt trick? [04:18] Csgeek what are you trying to do [04:18] I don't remeber...sorry :( [04:18] Son_of_Demetrius, if a user downloaded stuff.. its in /home/USERNAME somewhere :) [04:18] eseven73: cbb = can't be bothered [04:18] install a wifi driver using ndiswrapper [04:18] the hack, i guess yeah wj32 [04:19] How do I activate what I downloaded once I find it? [04:19] wj32: im pretty new at all this yet [04:19] Cs are you having troubles with your wireless internet? I spent 2 days fixing mine up it works now, I could possibly help you [04:19] so I followed the directions in !ics exactly, using two ubuntu machines. I still can't get it to work. When I ping my internet machine, it doesn't come back with anything [04:19] Son_of_Demetrius, 'activate' ? what did you download? [04:19] i have a problem controling my aduio with the top keys on my laptop [04:19] Cs are you having troubles with your wireless internet? I spent 2 days fixing mine up it works now, I could possibly help you [04:19] dr_willis: he's trying to get some codecs [04:19] dr_willis: the problem is the ubuntu machine doesn't have an internet connection === jewel is now known as minus18_pundit [04:20] like 300mgs of stuff...I don't know..I just let the download complete...it asked me to reboot...and???...I haven't the foggiest :( [04:20] Skippy1981, that is a good point about regarding phpmyadmin, and one that I neglected to think of. I will need to look into it. A cursory look leads me to believe that phpmyadmin connects to the database server under the guise of the user your logging in with, and not a default "admin", meaning that it isn't automatically creating a user of its own [04:20] the problem with downloading the packages from another computer and trying to install them on your ubuntu machine is that gdebi doesn't know how to satisfy dependencies [04:20] is there a way to download all the packages like on DVD's or something? Like just incase the internet went down or what not [04:21] eseven73: sure [04:21] my users-admin add user button is greyed out - any ideas? [04:21] eseven73: apt-cd [04:21] btw i was playing savage 2 last night, the graphics and gameplay just rock in ubuntu [04:21] Son_of_Demetrius, You sould of just apt-get installed'd them or install the packages with the package manager when it was connected to the intenet. that would bheen the best way.. if you got .deb files downloaded some where - in theory you just double click on them and they shoul dinstall. [04:21] hmm [04:21] !mirror | eseven73 [04:21] eseven73: Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors - PLEASE use the !torrents to download Intrepid, and help keeping the servers' load low! [04:21] eseven73: aptoncd [04:21] <|ntegra|> i'd have to say so far that istanbul sux, and recordmydesktop also sux [04:21] eseven73: as in sudo apt-get install aptoncd [04:21] LeeJunFan: This is a random stab in the dark based on something I happened to read recently... are you connecting to your computer remotely, using VNC or something similar? [04:21] wj32: ok so how would I go about downloading them, and faking out apt so it thinks its online? [04:22] I didn't download them on another comp...I downloaded them on mine...I just don't know what I'm looking at... [04:22] oh i have aptoncd but isnt that just a list? [04:22] my download speed through update manager is very slow. download rate is only 8-10 kbps, while i normally have 40 kbps download speed in my download manager. how can i increase the download speed in update manager? [04:22] mljohns4, not sure about the ANY account, but take a look at this http://www.kavod.net/wordpress/ The debian-sys-maint account looks to be kosher, and is part of all debian installs (ubuntu derives from debian) [04:22] eseven73: aptoncd allows you to burn the packages onto a cd [04:22] Anyone know how I can make my account an Admin? [04:22] Anybody know how I can change my keyboard layout? I seem to have some strange layout where typing 'a gives á, ' gives ', and '' gives ´, with similar behaviour for ". [04:22] on Ubuntu [04:22] eseven73: that's not a hack. apt supports installing packages from a cd [04:22] wfoster: sudo nano /etc/sudoers [04:22] I downloaded Wine...aptoncd...and multimedia stuff...but didn't know about codecs issues [04:23] wj32: hmmm ok i was under the impression AptOnCD only created a large list of all the stuff you have installed, and not be the actualy packagtes [04:23] Son_of_Demetrius: does your ubuntu computer have an internet connection? [04:23] werdnum system-preferences-keyboard layout [04:23] eseven73: why would it be called apt *oncd* then? [04:23] mljohns4, i would assume that its purpose is to prevent you from having to connect as root. Connecting as root would be tricky anyway, since the password is unknown to you in the default configuration - normally you access root via sudo [04:23] harriseldon: KDE :) [04:23] eseven73: of course i haven't actually tried it [04:23] werdnum: Thanks. [04:23] not at the moment...I'm taliking here from another house...I will get connected soon...financially soon [04:23] hmmm im just going by what ive heard [04:24] my download speed through update manager is very slow. download rate is only 8-10 kbps, while i normally have 40 kbps download speed in my download manager. how can i increase the download speed in update manager? [04:24] minus18_pundit: go to System > Administration > Software Sources [04:24] minus18_pundit: select a better download server [04:24] rww: no, locally connected. [04:25] I need help. [04:25] wj32: i would imagine the DVD of Ubuntu would be a complete set of packages, so ill look around for one Thanks for the help and sorry we kinda got off on the wrong foot earlier :) [04:25] For some reason, to make some stuff work on my laptop ubuntu [04:25] I have to open a terminal then sudo firefox or sudo pidgin just so it'll work properly. [04:25] LeeJunFan: Hrm. Oh! Obvious question: did you click "Unlock" at the bottom of the window first? [04:25] eseven73: it's ok [04:25] Anyone help me sort it out? [04:25] No [04:25] Hi! My graphics card supports two outputs, but Ubuntu doesn't recognize my external monitor. Any ideas? [04:25] wfoster: sudo firefox and sudo pidgin!!!! [04:25] werdnum check out this post -- it may help http://www.mail-archive.com/freebsd-ports@freebsd.org/msg17643.html (I know it is bsd, but gives menu path and potential missing package) [04:25] wfoster: whats wrong with just launching firefox? [04:26] It won't let me use some features of the application. Like downloading on firefox. [04:26] Skippy1981, Ya, the whole root account philosophy was something I repaired right off the bat. Thanks for the link, if anything it has sparked my interest with regards to what sort of maintenance is being performed by the debian-xx-xxx users [04:26] I need to learn some distinctions here...why my Display Driver Disk can't be mounted [04:26] harriseldon: ooh thanks. [04:26] wfoster: what happens when you try to download a file? [04:26] wj32: To have full rights to my firefox or pidgin I had to open it in terminal. [04:26] wfoster: can you not save it? [04:26] wj32: Scrap what I just said. [04:26] wfoster: ? [04:27] I also deleted the ANY users from MySQL. Wasn't comfortable with non password style accounts [04:27] wfoster: there is only one admin account and that is root [04:27] wfoster: Do "sudo chown -R yourusername:yourusername .mozilla .purple", then try loading them normally and see if it fixes it. [04:27] wj32: Every time I want full use of Pidgin or Firefox I have to sudo firefox or sudo pidgin. If I want it non-fully I can just open it but won't let me use some of the features. [04:27] wfoster: what happens when you try to use those features? [04:27] wj32: It just closes on me. [04:28] wfoster: mmm. try what rww said. [04:28] wj32: for yourusername:yourusername [04:28] wj32: Do I put my actual username? [04:28] wfoster: yeah [04:28] wfoster: yes [04:28] Ok. [04:28] wfoster: Running the graphical apps with sudo screws up the settings files of these apps, making it impossible for the regular user to run them again with normal permissions [04:28] wfoster: i.e., the output of "whoami" [04:28] i installed 8.10 on my thinkpad with 0 problems :) [04:29] null_403: does ur camera work?> [04:29] null_403: congratulations :D! [04:29] it's a t43. i'm pretty sure it doesn't have a camera [04:29] is there a gui mouse-button testing tool in gnome? === root is now known as Guest8035 [04:29] rww & genii & wj32: It still just closes on me. [04:30] eross: run `xev` [04:30] how can I log in as root? [04:30] wfoster: open a terminal and run firefox without the "sudo". [04:30] Ok. [04:30] How could I set VLC as the default application for avi files, rather than Totem? [04:30] null_403: very cute. very cute indeed [04:30] wj32: i'm from bangladesh. previously i changed this download server to main server because i had a problem downloading from that server. should i again change the server? how could i know which server is best for me? [04:30] wfoster: does it output any text when it crashes? [04:30] wfoster: what wj32 just said. And then pastebin any output you get. [04:30] !pastebin [04:30] 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) [04:30] it used to be that i could do apt-get install kde-desktop to switch to kubuntu, is that still available? [04:30] wj32: It doesn't crash, when I go to Downloads it just closes. But if I sudo firefox then it lets me go on Downloads. [04:30] csgeek: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [04:31] Oh it says.. [04:31] minus18_pundit: well, being able to download with slow speeds is better than not being able to download :) [04:31] wj32: Segmentation fault [04:31] wow [04:31] I need to run an Xsession as root for gnome-appearance-properties changes to take effect [04:31] now that's a bug [04:31] kolby, roots password is encrypted by default. you access root account using the sudo command [04:31] Skippy1981: In fact, there is no root password [04:31] wfoster: are you running 64-bit ubuntu? [04:31] I installed ubuntu server in vmware, its telling me to install vmware tools by mounting the virtual cd drive, how can i do that ? [04:31] kolby, Huh? you may want to elaborate to the channel why you are doing this? [04:31] wj32: Yes. [04:31] I'm in desperate need of help. I installed Kubuntu in safe graphics mode, and now I can't get it to get a higher rez than 640x480. Help! [04:32] kolby: "gksudo gnome-appearance-properties" [04:32] ikyn_ try "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-common" [04:32] techsupport, last i lookjed there was a menu item that mounted a cd iso file to the vmware virtual cdrom [04:32] genii, really? so the system is just set to refuse all direct root logins then? [04:32] wj32: is there anyway to determine which server is best for downloading the update? [04:32] Grr, wireless networking had been working since day one, but 20 minutes ago it just stopped. I have no idea on what it might be, I wasn't updating anything, I was just browsing the web w/ firefox. [04:32] rww: well, I ran that and changed the theme, but it hasn't taken effect yet. I logged out and logged back in too. [04:32] Skippy1981: Yes [04:32] Any ideas on anything to check? [04:32] minus18_pundit: there's a determine best server button i think [04:32] wj32, where can i see and change what firefox is using for audio? [04:32] ah kk thanks genii [04:32] aiuw: iwconfig -a [04:33] how do I figure out the temp of my CPU? this laptop has been running like crap since I updated to 8.10 [04:33] direct logging in as root - is disabled in the GDM config files. [04:33] user01: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=255422 [04:33] vista is faster if that puts anything into perspective [04:33] SJr|Nbook: nothing happened [04:33] user01: its at /etc/firefox/firefoxrc [04:33] Skippy1981: This is by the design of Ubuntu. Sudo is the way things were meant to work in this distro [04:33] wj32: Yes, I'm running 64-bit. [04:34] wj32, thanks [04:34] Raspberry: right click on the panel and add the CPU frequency scaling monitor [04:34] Sorry ikyn_ "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" [04:34] hi veeryone us ubuntu slower then xubuntu? [04:34] aiuw: try unplugging the puter to do a hardware reset [04:34] Chicano_: yes [04:34] kolby are you in gnome? theme changes normally take effect immediately, even as you click on the theme. [04:34] <|ntegra|> FrozenFire: I'd just right-click an avi>open with>and hope there is a>"always use this program" which >there is on my xubuntu [04:34] Chicano_: no [04:34] i have no sound anymore. how do i trubleshoot it? [04:34] penguin-up, it's a laptop, and I've restarted multiple times. [04:34] is xubuntu the fastes 1? [04:34] wfoster: all i've seen with firefox crashing on 64-bit is with the flash plugin [04:34] wj32: that's already on there... the cpu frequen y scaling monitor does not give me temp [04:34] SJr|Nbook: nothing of note came of reconfiguring my keyboard [04:35] Chicano_: fluxbuntu [04:35] wfoster: Hmm. Close all open Firefox windows, then run "firefox -ProfileManager" and use it to create a new profile, and see if you get the same behavior with the new profile. [04:35] null_403, http://pastie.org/351358 [04:35] wj32: It doesn't crash, it just closes. [04:35] Raspberry: oops [04:35] The only 'theme' changes that a root ran app can display i thought were colors and fonts.. or am i confused.. [04:35] really? [04:35] wj32: :) [04:35] wfoster: closing unexpectedly is crashing :) [04:35] does this have the same support as ubuntu? [04:35] aiuw: try unplugging the battery? [04:35] |ntegra|: There isn't. You can select VLC within the right-click menu, but I can't find the dialogue to set it to the default program when opening with left-click. [04:35] Chicano_: speed has much more to do with hardware than software. gnome will run just as fast and xfce. gnome just uses a bit more ram to get things done [04:35] really really [04:35] like updates and stuff [04:35] Thx folks...took me a while to backtrack here and read your responses...I'm really slow...I've copied and pasted your advice...thx again...really appreciate your help...bye4now:) [04:35] wfoster: ( you can switch between profiles at the command line with "firefox -p profilename", where profilename is the name you see in ProfileManager) [04:36] <|ntegra|> FrozenFire: open with 'other' program [04:36] null_403, it can see the networks, but it can't connect to any, including WPA, WEP, and unprotected wireless networks [04:36] Can anyone point to a howto or setting a bluetooth mouse up on Xubuntu Intrepid? [04:36] ikyn_ hmmm maybe they changed the package === qbmaniac_ is now known as qb|away [04:36] |ntegra|: I'm aware of the dialogue, however there is no "Always use this program" option [04:36] FrozenFire: right click on the file, properties [04:36] FrozenFire: Open With tab [04:36] <|ntegra|> oh crap [04:36] "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" and "sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm" [04:36] k, sec [04:37] dr_willis in my experience if the theme is stored in /usr/share/themes root apps like synaptic will pick it up, but if the theme is stored in ~/.themes then root apps use the default Gnome theme. [04:37] rww: It doesn't allow me to create a profile. It gives me a big error when I create the profile name. [04:37] wj32: Brilliant. Seems to work. [04:37] Thanks a ton. [04:37] wfoster: segfault again? [04:37] ikyn_ if that doesn't work, and you are feeeling daring you can etc /etc/X11/xorg.conf (after making a backup) [04:37] wj32: I think so. [04:37] wj32: Let me check. [04:37] wfoster: try putting up a bug report [04:37] wfoster, try closing FF then "mv ~/.mozilla".. then reopen FF and see what happens.. [04:37] SJr|Notebook: gdm isn't installed - one sec [04:38] wfoster: yeah, i'd be interested in the text of the error message... [04:38] wfoster: actually, try running "gdb firefox" [04:38] wfoster, sorry.. "mv ~/.mozilla ~/.mozilla.backup [04:38] SJr|Notebook: how do I install gdm [04:38] wfoster: when it crashes, type "bt" and hit enter [04:38] Which flavor of ubuntu are you runnig [04:38] maybe kdm? [04:38] then put it in pastebin [04:38] harriseldon, well the root user - couldent really be reading (well shouldent) be accessiung user isnalled themes. :) but ages ago i just set the default root 'theme' colors to be bright red.. so i could tell which apps were being ran as root. I dont think differently ran user apps can hafe for example different window-decorations, [04:38] Kubuntu [04:38] Oh then it's kdm [04:39] dr_willis: heh, good idea *does that* [04:39] SJr|Nbook: it didn't do anything [04:39] wfoster: do you want to try my suggestion? [04:39] Has anyone heard of SSH causing /serious/ system problems if pushed really hard? [04:39] rww, of course if they did that by default.. everyone would be crying wanting it to NOT do that. :) [04:39] wj32: Yes. [04:39] wj32: i'm now using a dialup connection. now i'm seriously considering for a broadband connection. which hardwares do i need? and ISPs here dont provide support for ubuntu. is there any tutorial to how to setup a broadband connection in ubuntu? === Mike_92 is now known as Mike9022 [04:39] Edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf then, ikyn_ you can use vim [04:39] wfoster: ok. run "sudo apt-get install gdb" [04:39] Can someone tell me how to install Tor on Ubuntu 8.10? [04:40] minus18_pundit, is it cable or dsl? [04:40] SJr|Nbook: when I edit it, what do I change? [04:40] look for 640x380 [04:40] make a backup of it [04:40] ok [04:40] 640x480 and put it as something you think you can support. [04:40] wj32: All done. [04:40] wj32: what is the dfference? i assume it's cable. [04:40] I can't read what it says - the resolution is too low [04:40] wfoster: then, in the terminal, type "gdb /usr/bin/firefox-bin" and hit enter [04:41] wfoster: actually thats wrong [04:41] wfoster: ok wait a min [04:41] You can switch to a console by pressing CTRL+ALT+F1, then you can press ALT+F7 to get back [04:41] k. [04:42] izinucs: what is the dfference? i assume it's cable. [04:42] wfoster: type "gdb /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.5/firefox-3.0" [04:42] minus18_pundit I would recommend setting up a router/firewall first. Then connect your ubuntu machine into the router. Then you computer needs no special setup to connect. The connection details for your dsl/cable are in the router. [04:42] Hello can anyone here help me with getting my mother's desktop with an ATI Radeon XPRESS 200 integrated graphics chip [04:42] hi. How can I hide Gimp toolbars and windows from taskbar? I just want the main window to appear there [04:42] SJr: so how do I edit my xorg in the console? [04:42] working [04:42] wfoster: then type run and enter [04:42] minus18_pundit any model will do depending on whether or not you want to enable wireless. [04:42] ikyn_ type sudo vim /etc/X11/xorg.conf [04:43] k [04:43] make a backup first by typing [04:43] wfoster: then try to make firefox crash [04:43] Mike9022: hrm. There's a TOR package in the intrepid repositories (sudo apt-get install tor), but it's slightly out of date. Might be a good idea to go to #tor on irc.oftc.net and ask what they suggest (Ubuntu's official 0.2.0.31, or the latest stable version). [04:43] sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak [04:43] rww: / Mike9022: they maintain their own repository for precisely that reason [04:43] Press I to start editing, then when you are done, press ESC,:,exit [04:43] oh crap hold on just on second the computer just locked up [04:43] I have a 500 GB drive which seems to not have SMART on it ... is that possible? [04:43] if you make a mistake you can start over, by pressing ESC, :,q [04:44] wj32: I'm typing all that and after enetering on the gbd command it goes to a copyright confirmation. [04:44] minus18_pundit, if it's cable then a round tv type wire will screw into the back of the cable modem and it will connect to either your router or computer directly with ethernet.. from there it just works.. not adjustments needed..... dsl typically has a dialer because it plugs into a telephone connection. the dialer can be software loaded on the computer (re: windows) or a router downstream typically wi [04:44] ll do the dialing/connection for all the other machines on the lan. [04:44] wj32: I press run and it says it isn't exectuable. [04:44] crimsun, Mike9022: Thanks, crimsun, I forgot that *facepalm*. Mike9022: https://wiki.torproject.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorOnDebian [04:44] wfoster: what version of firefox do you have? [04:45] crimsun: was looking at that page just the other day, too >.> [04:45] I'm not sure. The default that comes with Wubi. [04:45] what is MAC address changer? i heard i need to do this to setup broadband. need i setup my ip address manually? need i setup any dialer? [04:45] wfoster: ok never mind. i guess you'll have to put up a bug report [04:46] I have two linux computer both running ubuntu 8.10 intrepid ibex, and a crossover cable...how do I make them talk to each other ? [04:46] Ok. [04:46] But I don't know why I have to sudo it all to make it work properly. [04:46] minus18_pundit, don't worry about any of that.. if you're in europe they might do it differently over there but here in the US it's typically plug and play [04:46] wfoster: yes, thats weird. be sure to mention that in the report. [04:46] leachim6: get speech synthesis program festival, and turn up the volume, and write a script to have them say stuff. [04:46] * werdnum hides. [04:46] leachim6, give each an ip#.. see if they can ping each others ip.. there ya go .. they are networked. :) now install whatever services you wish to use to let them communicate in a usefull way, ssh, nfs, samba. [04:46] wj32: Will do, thanks for the help all. and rww. :) [04:47] Goodnight. [04:47] wfoster: You're welcome. Sorry we couldn't fix it :(. Send me a link to that bug report when you make it; I'll be interested to see the result. [04:47] bye [04:47] rww: can i get you try something? [04:48] rww: Sure, thanks. I'll hit you all up tomorrow. [04:48] What's the dmesg command that'll let you view the devices? [04:48] rww: go to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/313353 [04:48] rww: and try and reproduce that bug [04:48] wj32: k, give me a sec [04:48] but i'm from bngladesh. ISPs here dont provide support for linux. [04:49] 'isps dont support much of anything' :) [04:49] wj32: happens to me too [04:49] isp support basics: 'Sir, did you turn on the computer?' [04:50] rww: have you experienced this bug before?

[05:31] CYBERSIX007-2009: you're welcome [05:31] ikyn_: I would suggest for that card to use the i810 driver [05:31] Don Miguel, thanks, it could be a windows error, or maybe it's actually PEBKAC :P Just wondered if anyone had some insight or prior experience with it [05:31] yes [05:31] dr_willis, yes [05:31] jrgp: ok, i just thought that even though fat32 and ntfs, etc. have different numbers, all linux partitions have the same number [05:31] which linux software can do "replace in files"? [05:31] how do i install xine for ubuntu? [05:31] jrgp: it's just what i think i've seen [05:31] genii: how do i get that driver, and how do I enable it in xorg from the prompt? [05:31] well, the term "linux partition" is kinda ambiguous [05:32] codeblocks does, but it doesn't let me specify the directory but just searches in project files [05:32] do you mean parititions created by linux or just ext3/2? [05:32] Mayank: sudo apt-get install xine-ui [05:32] help. I run 8.04lts.. server edition. I need to run apt-get update... but when I enter 'sudo apt-get update' I get the following: scott@essen:~$ sudo apt-get update [05:32] [sudo] password for scott: [05:32] 0% [Connecting to mirrors.xmission.com (198.60.22.13)] [Connecting to security.

[05:32] what might I be gdoing wrong [05:32] jrgp: no, I mean I think there's some sort of more specific thing stored somewhere [05:32] ever since I updated to Ubuntu 8.10 ... my laptop doesn't cool properly... I've got a ThinkPad x61 -- anybody know any way to resolve this? [05:32] Do me a favor please Click this link so i get more points after it loads u can exit it please? http://www.DesignsBySiCK.com/?pointsfor=nheimberg [05:32] jrgp: cause certain apps like the Windows installer [05:32] so If the restricted-manager tool failed for installing Nvidia drivers, I am fckd up? [05:32] Package xine-ui is not available, but is referred to by another package. [05:32] This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or [05:32] is only available from another source [05:32] E: Package xine-ui has no installation candidate [05:32] , wj32 [05:32] Mayank: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[05:33] okay [05:33] Mayank: go to System > Administration > Software Sources [05:33] ok..then [05:34] Mayank: make sure "community-maintained open source software" is ticked [05:34] wj32, come to think of it, I've been using fdisk a lot lately and it always calls partitions I make "linux partitions" and says it knows how to identify dos,irix,bsd,mac,etc partitions too [05:34] I have a MacBook Pro that I am installing Ubuntu 8.10 on. The install seemed to be sucessful, and gparted shows both partitions to have some amount of used space. However, when I boot the computer, it always goes to OS X, and does not give an option to boot Ubuntu. How can I correct this? [05:34] yes it is.. [05:34] ikyn_: You can directly edit the xorg.conf file thus: nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf look for the line which reads like: "Configured Video Device" under it may be a line like: Driver "intel" or similar. Put whre says "intel" instead: "i810" [05:34] Mayank: how about "software restricted by copyright"? [05:34] untermensch: http://refit.sf.net <-- use this [05:34] ikyn_: If no line reading: Driver "whatevername" exists, create it [05:34] the_squircle: thank you. [05:34] :) [05:35] Do Macs not come with a grub? [05:35] ikyn_: Then use to exit: ctrl-x choose Y to save. Enter key to confirm name. Then: telinit 2 [05:35] genii: how do I edit my xorg from the command prompt [05:35] untermensch, macs use a different bootloader [05:35] already checked,wj32 [05:35] ikyn_: I just explained that [05:35] ikyn_, what are you trying to do specifically [05:35] hey [05:35] jrgp: ah, figures. So this would be the only way? [05:35] genii: sorry - sec [05:35] ikyn_: eg: nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf [05:36] ikyn_, and editing xorg.conf is pretty much depreciated [05:36] Mayank: that's weird. [05:36] yeah [05:36] ]can i get the 3945abg wireless nic to open up to promiscous mode [05:36] Mayank: i don't know [05:36] is it possible [05:36] or am i just wasting my time [05:36] anyone know if GRUB supports EFI? [05:36] the_squircle: do i have to burn it to a cd? [05:36] my system is up to date, wj32, so why can't i download/instaLL XINEW? [05:37] my system is up to date, wj32, so why can't i download/instaLL XINE? [05:37] untermensch: nope. download the Mac disk image and install it [05:37] I installed ubuntu server in vmware, its telling me to install vmware tools by mounting the virtual cd drive, how can i do that ? [05:37] Ubuntu Interpid: Nvidia Geforce 9800 GTX: Question ---- What does "NV17 Video Texture" refer to? [05:37] untermensch: it's really simple [05:37] Mayank: i don't know. sorry, ask someone else [05:37] anyone know what would prevent apt-get from connecting? [05:37] the_squircle: on the mac? in OS X? [05:37] untermensch: yep [05:37] bonez45: Lack of an internet connection? [05:37] mmk. [05:37] bonez45, misconfigured sources.list file or bad internet connection [05:37] bonez45, the server being down? [05:37] HOW TO get source from software sources? [05:37] the_squircle: it's a macbook pro with EFI. there's special instructions for using GRUB with EFI. [05:37] Hello, I have a sudo user who cannot mount a cdrom drive in gnome (by clicking - it gives a permission denied error) but they can mount the cdrom drive via the terminal both with and without privileged rights [05:38] Is there any way to make the top panel hide completely. I can see a small bit of it. [05:38] Mayank: You mean the source code of a program? [05:38] any ideas anyone [05:38] genii: fine, but I can ping that same IP for mirrors.xmission.com JUST fine.. would I be able to do that, sans internet connection? [05:38] Mayank, system->admin->software sources, enable sources, then in a clean directory apt-get source [05:38] genii: xorg edited - rebooting now [05:38] does anyone actually know what the "Shared to other computers" setting means under the IPv4 Settings tab of Network Manager? I looked in the documentation but there's really nothing there... [05:38] nisink, go to system>administration>users and make sure that account is in every group listed [05:38] wj32: it's not the bootloader that's the problem. REFIT is the easiest way to boot multiple operating systems: a mac icon, a linux icon, a windows icon. [05:38] then log out - log back in [05:38] yes, there is written 3rd party software, can i ad more sources? [05:38] wj32: even before any OS boots. [05:38] what's faste xubuntu or kubuntu or ubuntu for an old pc? [05:38] bonez45, you can browse the ip with http, see if the pool directory is there [05:39] Chicano: xubuntu [05:39] nickrud: I have tried other servers.. do you have a sources file I could try? I called xmission and they swear their mirror for ubuntu is UP [05:39] Chicano: xubuntu [05:39] Chicano: xubuntu, most likely [05:39] by far [05:39] man, what a mess, anybody helping me [05:39] thanks [05:39] the_squircle: oops. i didn't read - REFIT IS for EFI [05:39] nickrud: trying to browse it now [05:39] but does it look good? [05:39] I already tried googling the whole fcking world [05:39] wj32: yep :D [05:39] fluxbuntu (or whatever the fluxbox version is called) should be fast too [05:39] yeah [05:39] it looks good [05:39] fnord__, there isn [05:39] gasto: what's the problem? [05:39] as long as you don't somehow wind up using twm. :) [05:39] 't a fluxbox version of ubuntu [05:39] it [05:39] s just a package you can install [05:39] bonez45, you can move your current sources.list out of the way, and use system->admin->software sources to create a new one, guaranteed to be good [05:39] Hello, I have a sudo user who cannot mount a cdrom drive in gnome (by clicking - it gives a permission denied error) but they can mount the cdrom drive via the terminal both with and without privileged rights [05:39] !enter | fnord__, jrgp [05:39] fnord__, jrgp: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!

[05:40] Hmm. It looks like there was a fluxbuntu, but that's old [05:40] fnord__, Linux MInt [05:40] Hello, I have a sudo user who cannot mount a cdrom drive in gnome (by clicking - it gives a permission denied error) [05:40] but they can mount the cdrom drive via the terminal both with and without privileged rights [05:40] thanks will look 4 1 [05:40] You can always install fluxbox on any other install anyway [05:40] Ubuntu Interpid: Nvidia Geforce 9800 GTX: Question ---- What does "NV17 Video Texture" refer to?

Never see KDE === grey-sheep is now known as kavon [05:40] nisink: if no one's answered, it probably means no one knows [05:40] Oh, I'm an idiot. http://fluxbuntu.org/ [05:40] There is an 8.10 [05:41] *facepalms* [05:41] ikyn_: In recovery mode? eg, you see a # and not a $ in the prompt [05:41] genii: that brings up a menu listing main, multiverse, restricted and universe... [05:41] i was hoping that they just wern't seeing it [05:41] what is better ubuntu clean or ubuntu wubi?

I'm sure someone's probably run into this issue before, somewhere. I have a nvidia card with two lcd monitors hooked up, one on analog and one on dvi. [05:42] Chicano: scroll down on that page. [05:42] I kinda got confused too since the legacy link was at the top [05:42] genii: I'm in the recovery menu. What do I do from here? [05:43] As for my question.. If totem runs to play an audio file, for some odd reason, one or both of the monitors get set to an invalid refresh rate. [05:43] bonez45, http://paste.ubuntu.com/98781/ <-- pretty generic intrepid, search & replace hardy for intrepid and give it a try [05:43] I installed ubuntu server in vmware, its telling me to install vmware tools by mounting the virtual cd drive, how can i do that ? [05:43] anyone ? [05:43] http://pastebin.com/m29026ffb [05:43] that's a pastebin for my sources.list [05:43] ikyn_: So you have then a # prompt? [05:43] i can't install wubi on my my other machine, with xp, after checksum complete, its download the whole iso file from net...why? [05:43] This causes them to both go black until totem (or the firefox window pulling it up as a plugin) is closed; after which the monitor it isn't displayed on comes back. I have to hit the logout button and switch user to force the x server to rehash [05:43] genii: yes [05:43] techsupport: VM > Install VMware Tools... [05:44] ikyn_: telinit 2 [05:44] archive.ubuntu.com is really slow tonight [05:44] techsupport: in the virtual machine, type: [05:44] This is on 8.10, and I had the same problem on 8.04. [05:44] nope only have 7.10 [05:44] wj32, hi again [05:44] genii: what does that do? === Greg is now known as mallen_ [05:44] Is it some kind of bug with the nvidia driver, or... otherwise? I don't have any invalid modes in xorg.conf [05:44] genii: it's asking me for my login information again - now what? [05:44] techsupport: sudo mount /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom === mallen_ is now known as Mallen_ [05:44] wj32, do u know this? [05:44] i can't install wubi on my my other machine, with xp, after checksum complete, its download the whole iso file from net...why? [05:45] ikyn_: It puts the system into multiuser mode, should be starting up gdm or kdm, etc [05:45] Mayank: i haven't used Wubi [05:45] ok...anyone? [05:45] i can't install wubi on my my other machine, with xp, after checksum complete, its download the whole iso file from net...why? [05:45] genii: i've logged in and my prompt has changed from # to $ - I'm at the prompt with no KDE started. How do I start KDE now? [05:46] ikyn_: startx [05:46] wj32: ok - one sec [05:46] ikyn_: This after you did: telinit 2 ? [05:46] lulz, kde is bloat [05:46] genii: yes [05:46] ikyn_: that isn't actually the proper way to do it [05:46] ikyn_: OK, looks like we need manual start of login manager. You have kdm or gdm? [05:46] how to rename a file [05:46] ikyn_: go sudo /etc/init.d/kdm start [05:46] genii: kdm [05:46] How can i have java sound work on intrepid? It always says device unavailable [05:46] Mayank: understand wubi is only a file on a windows folder, all kinda stuff could go wrong, why not just install the real thing? you can dual boot [05:47] Mayank, http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=234 is your best bet for wubi support; not many wubi users here [05:47] anu, mv oldname newname [05:47] thanks [05:47] ##gnome [05:47] anu, you're welcome :) [05:47] how to use mldonkey to bt [05:47] my likewise says this Failed to contact DC when trying to synchronize local system clock! [05:47] None of the domain controllers listed in DNS could be contacted, or there are no DCs listed in DNS. [05:47] ikyn_: What wj32 just said. Should start the login manager [05:47] why [05:47] how to use mldonkey to bt? [05:47] thanx nickrud... [05:47] Mayank: Anything specific to Wubi you need to know? [05:47] system clock is same [05:47] yes [05:47] hello. anyone know if i can run 32-bit game(ut) in wine under my 64-bit userspace unbuntu installation? [05:48] Mayank, I've never used wubi myself. I know some wubi devs keep an eye on that forum [05:48] genii - wj32: when I type /etc/init.d/kdm start, it says that it's already running [05:48] onetinsoldier, I play half life2 all the time on my 64bit ubuntu box [05:48] ikyn_: try pressing Ctrl+Alt+F7 [05:48] ikyn_: Do then alt-f7 [05:48] webcamwonder, i have installed wubi on this machine i am using, i have another machine at home, when i tried to install on that one, its download the whole iso file...why? [05:48] genii: oh is it Alt+F7 or is it Ctrl+Alt+F7? [05:49] wj32: Either works from console [05:49] genii: oh ok [05:49] yeah. the control is only needed if you're in X [05:49] Mayank: Well, wubi needs the ISO file to install. If it doesn't find the ISO file exactly named under the same folder as the exectuable, it has to download it [05:49] wj32: Only ctrl-alt-f# works from gui [05:49] wj32 - genii: I hit Alt+F7 and my screen went blank and there is a blinking cursor in the upper left hand corner [05:49] ok [05:49] ikyn_: sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart [05:49] Mayank: what WebcamWonder said. Also, it might be downloading the 64-bit version, whereas you have the 32-bit version... or something like that. [05:49] wj32: I can't type anything [05:50] jrgp: ahh, cool! thanks. i was just curious before i install wine. ut can be installed natively in linux, but alas, it won't even think about installing natively in a 64-bit environment as far as i could tell [05:50] ikyn_: ctrl-alt-f1 to get back where you were [05:50] webcamwonder, but on this machine installation was easy as toast..the difference is - i have p-4, 2.4, other machine has p-4, 2.8... [05:50] genii: I opted for crtl+alt+del - restarting now... oi [05:50] onetinsoldier, oh, I thought you might mean a "wine windows game". but yeah, I can play urbanterror (also linux native) on this box fine too [05:50] genii - going back to recovery mode console [05:50] nickrud: I pasted your sources.list in and then attempted to run sudo apt-get update.. am I supposed to run anything else before it...? [05:50] ikyn_: This is perhaps why you keep ending up in recovery mode...hard resets ets [05:51] is there a way to change the master volume using BASH? [05:51] Mayank: Do you have the ISO file already under the directory of Wubi? [05:51] bonez45, no. But before you do anything else, you did change it from intrepid to hardy!!? [05:51] Csana: alsamixer [05:51] webcamwonder, not on this machine before, and not on other machine, why so difference...? [05:51] bonez45, gotta ask that, just for due diligence :) [05:51] jrgp: well, i'm not sure if i know what you're saying. is that a 32-bit game and you got it to install into 64-bit natively? [05:52] nickrud: yes, I painstakingly went through and changed all intrepids to hardys...;) [05:52] onetinsoldier, correct [05:52] Hi, I'm using Ubuntu 8.10 and I have open-shh server running - I was wondering if there was a way to view what another user is doing while in my box? [05:52] Mayank: Are you telling me it never downloaded the iso file on the first PC? [05:52] jrgp: can't 32-bit progs run natively on 64-bit OSes? [05:52] bonez45, hehe I like search and replace. sudo apt-get update <-- if it didn't fail, you're good to go [05:52] nickrud: then I ran sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart.. and still this is all I get now.. scott@essen:~$ sudo apt-get update 0% [Connecting to mirrors.us.kernel.org (149.20.20.135)] [Connecting to archive.canonical.com (91.189.90.142)] [Connecting to download.virtu [05:52] wj32, sometimes [05:53] jrgp: hmm, perhaps i need to install some more 32-bit stuff.. like lib32readline5 or something. i'll look into it, thank you! [05:53] genii: perhaps a reinstall is in order then? [05:53] brEz: You can run top, and see the application using the highest processor/memory [05:53] try sudo /etc/init.d/NetworkManager restart [05:53] ikyn_: Not yet [05:53] onetinsoldier, anytime [05:53] bonez45 do you have an http_proxy set anywhere? [05:53] yes..yes...i have installed many time wubi on my machine (first machine), but after checksum, its copy the whole iso from cd directly...so the other machine why downloading from net?

[05:53] eseven73, you might want to try nano instead. it's like command line notepad [05:54] Hammerjak: after im in visual mode i do that? [05:54] im running a netbook with ubuntu [05:54] ikyn_: nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change the "i810" to "vesa" [05:54] is there a way to change the master volume using a bash COMMAND? [05:54] jrgp: how do you select all in nano? [05:54] brEz: I am not sure with that [05:54] genii: I'm at the $ command prompt [05:54] Mayank: Is this intrepid? [05:54] jrgp: actually, how do you even select in nano? [05:54] jrgp: usually i use nano, but im trying to learn vim :) [05:54] what..?? [05:54] ikyn_:Then: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change the "i810" to "vesa" [05:54] eseven73, gg goes to top of file, V goes visual-line, G goes to bottom of file [05:54] nickrud: I do not have an http_proxy set anywhere, that I know of....again this 8.04 LTS server edition.. I installed this about a month ago... and haven't used it much.. but now I need to..... [05:54] Mayank: Are you trying to install intrepid? [05:54] ah nice ty Hammerjak [05:54] wj32, eseven73, you can highight the text using your mouse then middle click to paste [05:55] genii: then? [05:55] jrgp: ah but i was thinking of just using the keyboard [05:55] what thats mean?, webcamwonder? [05:55] bonez45, I would look in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/* , see if a proxy has been set anywhere [05:55] nickrud: I am sure there's something simple to explain it... [05:55] Mayank: Are you trying to install 8.10 Intrepid Ibex? [05:55] jrgp: yeah but in nano it only lets me select one page at at ime [05:55] nickrud: ok, checking there now [05:55] time* [05:55] ikyn_: Then ctrl-x to exit the editor, choosing Y to save, Enter key to same name [05:55] genii: done - then? [05:55] yes...8.10 ubuntu version..webcamwonder [05:55] ikyn_: Then as before: sudo /etc/init.d/kdm start [05:55] genii: rgr [05:56] anyone running a netbook? [05:56] bonez45, but we do know it's at your end anywayt [05:56] eseven73, wj32 I'm positive nano must have some key combination way of doing it. I'm positive emacs does [05:56] jrgp: yeah i know emacs does since its an Operating system OOOOPS! i mean text editor! hehe [05:56] genii: says it's already running. If I hit Alt+F7, the screen goes blank but has a blinking cursor in the upper left. Crtl+Alt+F1 brings me back to prompt [05:57] is there a way to change the master volume using a bash COMMAND? [05:57] nickrud: that folder /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/ contains these files 70debconf, 05aptitude, 01ubuntu, 01autoremove and 00trustcdrom is that the correct folder to check? [05:57] Mayank: There should be a log in the %temp% folder, you can look at it with regards to why your Wubi is insisting on downloading the iso... Also, you can download the latest version of Wubi, and try to directly put the Wubi in a new folder, and the iso in the same folder with the correct naming convention [05:57] Csana: alsamixer, maybe? I haven't messed with sound for a while, but that used to work way back in the day [05:57] ikyn_, genii he might be on F8 or F9 -- that's happened to me for some obscure reason a couple times [05:57] bonez45, yes [05:57] yah but thats not a comman [05:57] d [05:57] ikyn_: Try in series alt-f2 then alt-f3 and so on through the F keys at top til you get to last one, see if its running on a higher console [05:57] as in likeset volume=100 [05:58] wj32, mounted, what do i do next ? [05:58] *set volume=100 <---not real [05:58] nickrud: I open each of those files and none refer to any proxies [05:58] ikyn_: You can get back any time to first console with the ctrl-alt-f1 [05:58] techsupport: open the .tar.gz file and extract it to your desktop [05:58] wj32, i have .gz and .rpm files [05:58] how do you roll back drivers in ubuntu [05:58] wj32, i dont have a desktop [05:58] genii: I hit Alt+F2 and it came to another console, where I entered my login infor [05:59] Csana: hrm. Take a look at "man amixer", then. It seems to do something like that, but again, I haven't tested it. [05:59] techsupport: oops [05:59] techsupport: i forgot you're on ubuntu server [05:59] gah, rpm [05:59] techsupport: well i never learnt how to extract tar.gzs [05:59] techsupport: it must be tar -xzf or something [05:59] wj32, tar xvzf filename.gz returns a bunch of errors that say : cannot create symlink to suck file or directory [05:59] ikyn_: Don't login to every console :) They will be all the same. Look for the one the kdm is on [05:59] tar -xvzf [05:59] hi, im trying to install screenlets. And Im a breand new to ubuntu...I notive it's not in the synaptic pachage mgr, how do I go about doing it? [05:59] bonez45, I'm at a loss then. If you can browse you know your net is good. The only reason apt would have problems, in my experience, is it is somehow being sent through a proxy that doesn't exist (had this happen once to me early on) [05:59] genii: how do I know which one KDM i son [06:00] %temp% folder in xp, webcamwonder? [06:00] Mayank: Yeah [06:00] ikyn_: If you see a graphical login screen and not text one, that will be the one [06:00] Csana: nope. I'm just putting your nickname in front of messages I send to the channel that I want you to read. Most clients highlight messages with your nickname in them in a different color. [06:00] Csana: It's a different thing from /msg. Also, you're welcome :) [06:00] techsupport: tar -xzf vmware-whatever.tar.gz [06:00] genii: the only one that changes the screen is Alt+f7 - and it never resolves into a GUI [06:00] clean install is much bewtter then wubi, right webcamwonder? [06:01] Mayank: What do you mean by "clean install" [06:01] Mayank: yes, clean install is better, albeit more difficult (sometimes) [06:01] ikyn_: OK. So it runs but is messed up then. [06:01] techsupport: then cd vmware-distrib [06:01] techsupport: sudo ./vmware-install [06:01] nickrud: well I have no idea if I can browse on that box.. as it has no X installed... no browser...... [06:01] techsupport: you might want to install build-essential first [06:01] i have clean ubuntu, can i install, can i install xp now (dual boot)?, rww [06:01] ikyn_: You had graphics when you installed? [06:01] take a X vesa at first [06:01] bonez45, install links2 it's a text browser. run it with links2 google.com for example [06:02] !info lynx | bonez45 [06:02] lynx (source: lynx): Text-mode WWW Browser. In component main, is optional. Version 2.8.6-2.1ubuntu3 (intrepid), package size 1150 kB, installed size 4916 kB [06:02] nickrud: how would I install links2 , since apt-get is not working? [06:02] how do you roll back drivers in ubuntu [06:02] bonez45: Telnet, I think it comes by default [06:02] genii: not really. When I ran the liveCD it froze during KDE bootup. I installed in safe graphics mode, and have been trying to fix it since. [06:02] bonez45, doh. Lemme see if there's one installed by default [06:02] Mayank: you have Ubuntu installed right now using the whole hard disk, and you want to install Windows XP as well? [06:02] OMG [06:02] hole_: you can select the package in synaptic and select Force Version [06:02] ikyn_: Hm [06:02] wj32, yeah installing [06:03] Mayank: (just checking I understood you correctly before I link you to instructions) [06:03] hole_: i think thats what its called anyway [06:03] genii: been spending the last 10 hours working on this issue, searching the internet over, but no success [06:03] wj32: for ati cards? [06:03] yes, dual boot, rww [06:03] hole_: ok, that's different [06:03] I can take care of X troubles [06:03] i installed an ati video driver [06:03] Mayank: http://apcmag.com/how_to_dual_boot_linux_and_windows_xp_linux_installed_first.htm [06:03] bonez45, apparently elinks is installed by defautl [06:03] Mayank: I've used the apcmag.com guides for dualbooting a lot, and they've never failed me :) [06:04] wj32, ok same error for every file it tries within archive, Caonnot open: no such file or derectory [06:04] rwww, lets check it then...thanx.. [06:04] techsupport: didn't you just say it was installing? [06:04] Linux is not for new bee .. but we can help .. [06:04] ikyn_: I suggest to hit ESC when grub begins. Then edit the default line which loads. Add to the end: vga [06:04] wj32: i could not find anything on google [06:04] techsupport: are these errors coming from tar or from vmware-install.pl [06:04] wj32, build-essential installed [06:05] wj32, tar [06:05] techsupport: are you running as root? [06:05] wj32, when i do tar -xzf filename.gz [06:05] nickrud: perhaps on yours, but I type eli and tab and it finds only elif and else.. no elinks....or elinks2 [06:05] a little vga=791 could help .. [06:05] wj32, yeah [06:05] ikyn_: It grows very late here, I will only be active another 15-20 minutes [06:05] techsupport: tar -xzf filename.gz /root/vmware/ [06:06] Techsupport , you have a lot of work :P [06:06] genii: That's fine - what line will I be editing though? [06:06] techsupport: i gave you the wrong syntax for tar [06:06] bonez45, it's on the cd according to http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ubuntu-8.04.1-server-i386.list . you should be able to install from there. [06:06] anyone know how to extract a .tar.gz using tar?

[06:07] i have a user who can't mount the cdrom in gnome there is a permission denied error but they can mount the cdrom in the terminal they have sudo priviledges but can mount from the terminal as a unpriv. user [06:07] gzip -dc filename | tar -xf - [06:07] ikyn_: A line like: kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-19-generic root=UUID=3125b8f2-6b07-420f-9a9e-d97a8ec4e655 ro quiet splash [06:07] Sorry. ;) [06:07] how about extracting into a directory? [06:07] man tar [06:07] ikyn_: Not likely identical to that one however, it's an old one from my grub file. But add to the end: vga [06:07] genii: and add vga at the end of that? [06:07] tar xfz foo.tar.gz -C /dir [06:08] ikyn_: Yes [06:08] nickrud: no === GodTodd___ is now known as GodTodd [06:08] wj32: tar xfz foo.tar.gz -C /dir [06:08] nickrud: only have the on-board [06:08] techsupport: so you go tar -xzf vmware-file.tar.gz -C /root/whatever [06:08] wj32: yes [06:08] ikyn_, ok. A couple days ago I spend a few hours with similar symptoms, that ended up being the issue [06:08] genii: booting up now [06:08] i want to know that [06:08] is it possible [06:08] to make ubuntu desktop looks like [06:08] wj32: i could not find anything on google [06:09] mac leopard [06:09] oops [06:09] !enter [06:09] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!

I haven't kept up. [06:10] techsupport: what exactly does it say? [06:10] genii: I added 'vga' to the line you said to - now it just keeps cycling through flashing a black screen and "Checking battery state" ...... [OK] -- with a blinking cursor. [06:10] lyrae: you can use them very much the same. iirc though aptitude as a curses interface if you choose to use it. [06:10] * nickrud thinks it's ironic that when he first started in #ubuntu that's all he did, X problems [06:11] ikyn_: I'm out of immediate ideas at this point [06:11] wj32, nvm it worked [06:11] techsupport: well then cd to the directory and type sudo ./vmware-install.pl [06:11] TAKE ME PRIVATE FOR X PB, AND LEAVE THE UBUNTU GUY COOL [06:11] genii: ok - I'm going to try a reinstall. If that doesn't work, I'm going to try installing Ubuntu. If that doesn't work - I'll ask more questions. Thank you very much for your time though!

[06:14] quite I think , but not for the later Ati or Nvidia [06:14] phil: The "wait until someone has a problem and then help them" approach is much less spammy, and tends to work much better, than constantly advertising your knowledge in channel. It'd be much appreciated if you wait until someone has a problem you can solve before addressing the channel :) [06:14] just speak slowly , I m french< [06:15] nice reply rww [06:15] but what does this mean ? [06:15] ok i launched the installer, its asking me : what is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include] - I press enter, and the question comes back [06:15] techsupport: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` [06:15] Hey all. Simple question. I just upgraded to Hardy from Gutsy so I still have Firefox 2.0. How do I upgrade it to 3.0? [06:15] I ve been helping in Linux forum since 1990 , so I can ..

How do I upgrade Firefox from 2 to 3? [06:17] Thanks. I was thinking that, just didn't want to meddle too much in it for fear of breaking it. [06:17] AlexKibler: sudo apt-get install firefox-3.0 [06:17] joe_-: pastebin your xorg.conf [06:17] rccu: It seems to be "plain", no res' in there really, just says "Monitor" one sec. [06:17] wj32: Last time I did that it wasn't actually firefox 3. It was like, Monte something.. [06:18] AlexKibler: when was last time [06:18] Like, 4 or 5 hours ago [06:18] AlexKibler: oh [06:18] But that was when I was on Gutsy. Would it be different now? [06:18] I think that many of the trouble you have are because of EDID and flat screens. Excuse , i m french [06:18] It seems that gparted has issues with unmounted partitions and sits there "scanning all devices" for a long time.

[06:38] Ubuntu doesn't seem to want to play YouTube videos full screen? [06:38] tsrk: no idea either. never used set [06:38] Thunderbird doesn't have even half of the features of MS Outlook. [06:38] Fezzler: 64-bit? [06:38] Nvidia 256 GeForce Fx5500 === d0netsFN is now known as d0nets [06:38] 32 [06:38] flckers [06:38] futeki: it's only missing the useless features of ms exchange server [06:38] flickers [06:38] tsrk: i think export sets environment variables [06:38] tsrk: while set just sets variables [06:38] wj32: that it does [06:38] Fezzler, thats more of a Flash issue - due to how subpar The flash makers support of Linux is. :( [06:39] wj32, oh, how do I unset environment variables? I just set $FOO [06:39] wj32: but you can do FOO=$BAR for that, without set [06:39] tsrk: environment variables are passed to oher programs [06:39] everything else works fine (except Firefox ffades to gray awefully fast [06:39] just unset [06:39] raylu: well i havent used bash that much, so I don't know [06:39] raylu: set varname=value is from DOS isn't it? [06:39] wrong [06:40] wj32: dos? hah... [06:40] export varname value [06:40] en bash [06:40] I did "export FOO=$REPLY", how long will it stay set? [06:40] $varname=value [06:40] tsrk: until you close the shell [06:41] set var=57 was for 3DFX dos :P [06:41] at least in windows, programs inherit environment variables [06:41] wj32, ok, thanks [06:41] I just tried FOO=$RESULT and it worked great [06:41] As soon As you don t leave the shell [06:41] mumbles: you have that backwards [06:41] er [06:41] munim: you have that backwards [06:41] lol [06:42] but FOO=REPLY [06:42] ok how come there's suddenly silence [06:42] raylu, oh yeah.. sorry about that :) [06:42] wj32: everything is ...working! [06:42] anyone use virtualbox? [06:42] t_, I do, why? [06:42] t_, yes...? [06:42] echo $EPLY [06:42] i have used virtualbox before.. [06:42] what about virtualbox? [06:42] raylu: i tried using the GRUB shell with the commands "root (hd2,2)" and "setup (hd0)", and it seemed to output succesful messages. but when i reboot, it goes to windows immediately without showing GRUB at all. could it be a misconfigured menu.lst? or is GRUB not even in the MBR at all? [06:42] !poll [06:43] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [06:43] tsrk: your variable will only stay active within it's current scope. if you "export var=value" once the terminal closes your variable disappears. [06:43] coj: try grub-install /dev/sda [06:43] how do we replace string/text in nano? [06:43] what's the shortcut key [06:43] ThePub, ok, thank you [06:43] wj32: i'll try that [06:43] coj: sounds like the latter. how many hard drives do you have? do you have a flashdrive/floppy/cd in? [06:43] coj: if you want a menu, set up a boot partition [06:43] i'm running from a ubuntu DVD Live Session [06:43] *CD [06:43] tsrk: so if you want something for a whole session you need to set it in .xsession or .bashrc or .profile, etc [06:43] coj: yes, make sure /dev/sda IS the drive you want to install grub to [06:44] coj: be aware that grub-install /dev/sda will NOT give grub a men [06:44] okay [06:44] u [06:44] i do want a menu since i want to dualboot windows [06:44] sda for lster pc [06:44] ThePub, no, I was just worried I had set it permanently or something [06:44] wj32: huh? [06:44] coj: have you installed ubuntu? [06:44] windows is on /dev/sda, ubuntu's installed on /dev/sdc [06:44] tsrk do you use vbox? [06:44] tsrk: ok, sorry I jumped in there at the end. :) [06:44] raylu: you need to run grub-install --root-directory [06:44] I'm finding it impossible to set up usb [06:44] t_, yes [06:44] wj32: without it, it assumes a root of / [06:44] coj: did windows overwrite your mbr/grub? [06:44] I followed every possible instruction and no yeild [06:45] t_ to boot on usb ? [06:45] t_, first of all you need the non-OSE, add the repository at the virtualbox website [06:45] raylu: oh [06:45] coj: OS's are installed to partitions, not hard drives [06:45] raylu: i didn't know that [06:45] is your biod able of this ? [06:45] I have it [06:45] coj: You could try wubi [06:45] I said I tried it all, and its still not working [06:45] wj32 - windows always was on the MBR, grub seemingly installed itself to hd2 (sdc?) when i first installed ubuntu [06:45] t_, one second [06:45] raylu: i know, ubuntu is on hd2,2 for me [06:46] joe_-, phil: those suggestions are less than helpful [06:46] coj: you'll have to mount the ubuntu drive first [06:46] Why is that? [06:46] Wubi handles all of that very, very easily. [06:46] joe_-: because he already has ubuntu installed; why would he install wubi? [06:46] coj: mkdir ubuntu-drive; sudo mount /dev/sdc ubuntu-drive [06:46] well try DSL [06:46] coj: sudo grub-install --root-directory=ubuntu-drive /dev/sda [06:46] raylu: Ah, didn't see that part, apologies. [06:46] joe_-: it doesn't handle it at all... it boots windows first [06:46] wj32: oh, i see, so it's not even reading from sdc properly? [06:46] i'll try that [06:47] raylu: It creates partitions [06:47] t_, http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/747 [06:47] wj32: missing a partition [06:47] tsrk oh wow, it suddendly worked [06:47] raylu: sorry? [06:47] my wireless is gone n ubuntu 7 10. [06:47] joe_-: no, it creates a file on your windows system and uses that as a drive [06:47] raylu: you mean sdb? [06:47] if DSL doesw t work , YOUR computer can t boot on usb :P [06:47] t_, ok, that's good [06:47] It worked but once i changed networks it does not work anymore .Please help [06:47] wj32: i mean you tried to mount a drive instead of a partition [06:47] my usb was sitting in my computer for 5 minutes and suddendy it registers... [06:47] wj32, i set static ip, can ssh to the machine locally, but now cant ping google.com [06:47] raylu: oh crap [06:47] BlackPanther: what wifi card do you have?

[06:48] or 3rd [06:48] BlackPanther: did you give madwifi a shot? [06:48] coj: ok, so now you're saying you have ONE drive with THREE partitions [06:48] techsupport: out of curiosity, what does "host google.com" give? [06:48] coj: that's different [06:49] the pb is kids trying to plsy to linux [06:49] no [06:49] coj: how many drives do you have? [06:49] i have 3 hard drives, xp is on the first, ubuntu is on one of the partitions in the 3rd === Tidus|away is now known as Tidus [06:49] I have not tinkered with any setting since installing it but its simply gone. [06:49] raylu, timed out [06:49] coj: ok, then type mount [06:49] none of them know Freebsd or Netbsd :P [06:49] coj: where's /dev/sdc1 mounted? [06:49] in / media [06:50] What would be the possible cause for loss of wireless ? [06:50] does ubuntu 32-bit let you support up to 8 gigs of ram?

[06:50] Does anyone possess expertise about virtual box? [06:50] joe_ i have not changed anything though. [06:50] sdc3 is where ubuntu is [06:51] stop using computers :P [06:51] sdc1 is just an XP storage area [06:51] phil: you are being rude and unhelpful [06:51] #compiz [06:51] coj: so, its [06:51] B|ackPanther: Is it your wireless or someone elses?

[06:52] wj32: i also get the feeling sda isn't has master drive [06:52] coj: check if /media/disk-1 has a "boot" directory in it [06:52] wj32: wait, ignore that [06:52] Its my wireless. [06:52] I m a Debian / FreeBSD / NetBSD man [06:52] raylu: what gives you that feeling [06:52] B|ackPanther: are you going to run "iwconfig"? [06:52] phil: Is there something we can help you with?

[06:53] B|ackPanther: you said it was atheros? modprobe | grep ath [06:54] coj: (maybe you have already :)) [06:54] but i m harware , not soft [06:54] lol [06:54] hi, does ubuntu 32-bit let you support up to 8 gigs of ram? [06:54] hi, does ubuntu 32-bit let you support up to 8 gigs of ram? [06:54] My resolution is to be more hardware too phil. [06:54] no [06:54] yes [06:54] fweet: no [06:54] Hey, I just installed kubuntu on my new laptop which has an atheros wireless card. The card didn't work with the built-in drivers, so I built/installed the madwifi driver and it seems to work. The only problem is that when the computer wakes up after being suspended, the card won't connect to the access point anymore. I have to reboot to get it to work again. Any idea why? [06:54] fweet: The server kernel will, but otherwise no. [06:54] I had Ubuntu 7.10 up and running fine with no problems. I then installed the latest nvidia drivers from their website and apon restart of x, it said it couldn't find any suitable drivers for my card. has anyone heard of this problem before? [06:54] coj: pastebin? [06:54] I don t know. [06:55] wj32: urgh, loading the live CD again, the loader still didn't appear [06:55] huh? [06:55] you talking about PAE? [06:55] I don t think U have 8 gig of ram and U need it [06:55] fweet: Yes [06:55] jinzougen: yes. the kernel has always been quirky when resuming from suspend :P [06:55] !u | phil [06:55] phil: Unless you're Dutch or Flemish, or a government officer, the letter 'U' is not a pronoun. If you want to be taken more seriously, please bother to type out the extra letters in "you". The same goes for "are", "why", "because", "anyone", and so on.. [06:55] fweet: well, thats windows only [06:55] if i install PAE, are there any problems i iwll face? [06:55] hello guys [06:55] raylu , modprobe | grep ath does not give anyging except the options [06:55] so , whyt tis question ? [06:55] manning_: /var/log/Xorg.0.log [06:55] raylu, any fixes besides not suspending? [06:55] i have to use [06:55] wj32: i made changes to menu.lst previously, put in "root (hd2,2)" for the ubuntu entries since it wasn't there before, but i don't know if that's right [06:55] B|ackPanther: what options? [06:55] coj: check which drive your bios is booting from [06:55] wj32: what is windows only? [06:55] fweet: never mind [06:55] ubottu, I m french [06:55] Sorry, I don't know anything about I m french [06:55] jinzougen: not really [06:56] fweet: i'm pretty sure i'm wrong [06:56] fun this bot [06:56] That sucks... Well thanks for the help. [06:56] !fr | phil [06:56] phil: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr [06:56] okay so , how stable is Debian on PAE kernel [06:56] egh. pae. [06:56] fweet: how would it be less stable? [06:56] wj32: it boots from C:/D:. where windows is, as of yesterday when i checked it [06:56] fweet: i imagine PAE's acheieved by some paging magic? [06:56] ok, how compatible is it [06:56] with other apps [06:56] like WINE [06:56] fweet: Honestly, you shuld strongly consider just going 64bit [06:57] fweet: it wouldn't make a difference with user-mode programs [06:57] coj: that means literally nothing :P [06:57] fweet: user-mode programs don't know about paging [06:57] Is wine better than using virtual machine? [06:57] Flannel: Seconded. [06:57] does wine run out of the box on 64-bit? [06:57] stupid , i speak english for you [06:57] raylu: o :P [06:57] fweet: #debian would probably be a better place to ask that. if you would like to support all 8gigs, you should give 64-bit a shot. [06:57] t_: no, but it's easier [06:57] coj: try and install grub on /dev/sdb then [06:57] coj: that's like saying "it's on /media/asdfjwaoiefhaowejf" [06:57] BlackPanther: well... it could be.. but I heard that the Atheros drivers are not very reliable [06:57] !amd64 > fweet [06:57] fweet, please see my private message [06:57] How can shared folders be set up in virtualbox? [06:57] coj: actually, install grub on all three drives! [06:58] wj32: ... [06:58] so ubuntu 32-bit can detect and use 8 gigs using AMD64? [06:58] t_: what are you using virtualbox for anyway? [06:58] fweet: probably [06:58] sorry i'm looking for an flash autoring software for ubuntu 8.10 [06:58] fweet: ...what? [06:58] fweet: No, 64bit Ubuntu can. [06:58] basically i hate how 64-bit not run WINE well [06:59] fweet, do you NEED 8 gib of ram ? [06:59] Flannel: why couldn't 32-bit ubuntu use 8 Gigs of ram? [06:59] raylu taking software from my old xp into the virtual machine [06:59] there seem to be galore of hacks to make wine work on 64-bit [06:59] fweet: 64-bit Ubuntu can detect and use 8 gigs of ram. [06:59] Flannel: the whole point of PAE is for 32-bit processors to use more than 4 gigs of ram [06:59] raylu, are are some things I'd like to keep [06:59] even for Far Cry 2 ? :P [06:59] fweet: heh. there are a galore of hacks to make wine work on 32-bit :P [06:59] fweet: ubuntu 32-bit can use 8 gigs of ram [06:59] wj32: But it's not much more if I recall correctly. [06:59] stupid questions [06:59] i had a lot of issues on 64-bit [06:59] the thing is with PAE, apps can't address more than 4 GB of RAM [06:59] why would you need to use wine anyways? [07:00] raylu, I also prefer microsoft word over open office because of the options [07:00] since their pointer sizes are still 32-bit [07:00] sorry i had to run.. mom called. [07:00] wj32: It could, but I assumed he was confused when he said "32bit ubunt uwith AMD64" [07:00] t_: eh? [07:00] wj32: do you have a link to get that setup? [07:00] well , you re right [07:00] t_, so you prefer instability, closed source, and anti-freedom? [07:00] Gnea: what setup? [07:00] wj32: pae [07:00] wj32: interestingly, sdb1 is my windows partition (?!!?!) [07:00] because im a gamer [07:00] =) [07:00] raylu, I can't run linux "alone" [07:00] use windows then.. [07:00] Gnea: doesn't ubuntu detect PAE automatically? [07:00] :) [07:00] also a programmer [07:00] t_: still confused. [07:00] coj: just install grub on all three drives [07:00] wj32: also, in my menu.lst, under the windows option, there's a remapping of hd0 to hd1 and hd1 to hd0 [07:01] raylu, as a student, I need flexibility for college [07:01] wj32: i think you need the server kernels [07:01] :VVVVV [07:01] also a linux admin [07:01] coj: oh [07:01] wj32: o ok [07:01] mgolisch: i dunno about kernels [07:01] fweet: if you want to play games, you are much better off with a proper windows installation.. [07:01] wj32: let me pastebin it [07:01] I ve been using Linux since years , even ploayint Unreal with a Voodoo1 in Wine [07:01] t_: you know you're doing it wrong when you turn to microsoft for flexibility [07:01] raylu, And its a really cool thing to show off to friends [07:01] the generic ones dont have pae if i recall correctly [07:01] mgolisch: i think you're right [07:01] mgolisch: i don't think ubuntu desktop kernels have PAE === rubydiam_ is now known as rubydiamond__ [07:02] kids use Linux , they should nt [07:02] does vbox let you run windows on fullscreen mode as if you just booted to windows? [07:02] mgolisch,wj32: correct, only the -serverkernel does. [07:02] they just say misery [07:02] raylu, TuxGuitar, the music program, just isnt working for me [07:02] raylu,sorry for the delay.This is what i get http://paste.ubuntu.com/98817/ [07:02] phil: This is a support channel, please keep offtopic chatter out of it.

You just worry about you. [07:03] ok then thats worthless [07:03] fweet: try vmware workstation then [07:03] ok [07:03] so WINE is my only option [07:03] raylu, and xp was given to me for free. I might as well put it to practical use I case I run into any programs that work exclusively on windows [07:03] and WINE runs like crap on 64-bit [07:03] coj: that should be alright then [07:04] coj: but you said you had three hard drivess [07:04] coj: oh wait you do [07:04] fweet: if you have a free partition somewhere, just install xp for your games.. [07:04] sorry , I understand , this no my job [07:04] fweet: no idea, never realy used it, i just reboot into my 64bit vista for games [07:04] :) [07:04] or use my xbox [07:04] raylu, Logically speaking, I could either have Linux, or Linux + an arm of Windows in case I need it. [07:04] :) [07:04] t_: hrm. until you get your vbox problem solved, [07:04] i hate dual booting [07:04] !qemu | t_ [07:04] t_: qemu is an emulator you can use to run another operating system - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsXPUnderQemuHowTo [07:04] wj32l, fweet: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=775520 and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=706005 cover it pretty well [07:04] qemu works even great on BeOS :P [07:05] gah [07:05] i guess i'll just downgrade to 2 gigs [07:05] Flannel, sorry , it s not my place [07:05] then get a separate pac [07:05] PC [07:05] fweet: why? 32bit can do 4gigs [07:05] fweet: you could recompile the kernel [07:05] emulator to run another OS? so its just another virtualisation software right? [07:05] wj32: pastebin.com/m2d580ce5 <-- mounted drives [07:05] i thought 32-bit only does 3 gigs [07:05] phil: Its less about that, more about keeping the noise down [07:05] fweet: 3.5ish I think [07:05] fweet: no [07:05] fweet: It addresses 4GB of addresses, which generally works out to about 3.2G or so of RAM [07:05] coj: what the hell? [07:06] Ah 3.2 [07:06] dont understand , don t forget i m french :P [07:06] fweet: the virtual address space of each program is split up into two [07:06] fweet: you're confusing linux and windows :P [07:06] fweet: no, it might only detect 3.2 off the bat, but you can make it do 4 [07:06] fweet: one for the program, one for the kernel [07:06] fweet: see wikipedia for more info [07:06] raylu: something weird? [07:06] coj: /dev/sda1 on /media/Fat Momma type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,blksize=4096) [07:06] what would make one the computer not recognise wireless connections after a restart .I had this working just a moment ago. [07:06] fweet: i think linux reserves 3gigs for the program, 1 gig for the kernel [07:06] wait so, PAE is only for servers? and won't work for ubuntu gnome etc...? [07:06] are all sata /sda now ? [07:07] heh [07:07] B|ackPanther: have you run "lsmod | grep ath"? [07:07] fweet: you have to enable it when compiling the kernel [07:07] all drives are /sd i believe [07:07] fweet: No, its for all kernels, however in Ubuntu, only the server kernel has PAE enabled [07:07] BlackPanther: maybe the device is not started.. or the wireless network is not in range [07:07] fweet: sure it does, you just need a pae enabled kernel [07:07] phil: they were something else? [07:07] cant i just apt-get the pae kernel? [07:07] coj: it should work if you install grub to all three drives [07:07] like i normally do with yum on centos [07:07] about what gnea ? :P [07:07] !offtopic [07:07] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [07:08] Gnea: hd [07:08] pae kernel not available on apt-get ? [07:08] fweet: sudo apt-get install linux-server? [07:08] wj32: ok i'll do that [07:08] raylu: ah yes, that was quite a long time ago.. [07:08] hey guy , excuse , i m french , i don t always understajd all your implications [07:08] is chastity-list no more available in ubuntu ? [07:08] but i m nice [07:08] phil: please [07:08] are you telling me, ubuntu/debian have no repositories for kernels ? [07:08] phil: i think you've stated that you're french at least 20 times in the past 3 minutes. [07:08] fweet: ? [07:09] Does anyone over here use twitter from Gnome Do? [07:09] fweet: sudo apt-get install linux-server [07:09] just install the linux-server metapackage [07:09] fweet: can you "hear" me? [07:09] and then ? [07:09] Gnea, just 3 i think .. [07:09] wj32: linux-image-server, i believe [07:09] fweet: it's already there, did you check out the website links i gave you? [07:09] fweet: and then you can select it at boot time [07:09] oh [07:09] pdroy: Its not, that's correct. [07:09] fweet: GRUB gives you the option [07:09] but probably those dont have all the restricted modules stuff [07:09] no idea [07:10] i think i tried PAE and it would not detect my vidcard whatever i do [07:10] Gnea, maybe it s bcaus most of forumk are us , and it s hard to have a place [07:10] how would i go around that [07:10] raylu: but linux-server always depends on the latest version [07:10] Flannel: is there an alternate available [07:10] What do I have to do to get all available unicode scipts, including obscure ones? (e.g. old runes and ancent south asian scripts) [07:10] goodmorning! [07:10] doesn t matter [07:10] fweet: Use the 64bit version of Ubuntu [07:10] fweet: what cpu do you have? [07:10] YESSSSSSSSSSS [07:10] quad core [07:10] wj32: thank you so much :> [07:10] wj32: er, mine isn't a specific version either. i think the virtual package name is linux-image-server [07:10] coj: no probs [07:10] pdroy: Try dans-guardian [07:10] how is WINE on 64-bit ubuntu? [07:10] your help's greatly appreciated [07:10] raylu: i don't have that package :( [07:10] phil: then may I suggest that you /join #ubuntu-fr and speak fluent french there? you may annoy less people and be more productive that way. [07:11] wj32: oh. oops :P [07:11] tdfx glx works with it ? :P [07:11] i never wanted that winxp bootloader anyway >:| [07:11] does wine run out of the box on 64-bit ? [07:11] !repeat | fweet [07:11] fweet: 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 [07:11] i believe linux-restricted-drivers only works with the desktop kernel? [07:11] Gnea, I have no reason to do this [07:11] then don't do it [07:11] sorry to annoy you [07:12] fweet, i think there are 64bit binaries [07:12] fweet: wine does, lots of apps don't :P [07:12] raylu, true! :P [07:12] don't move to 64-bit just yet; there's just no enough support for it [07:12] *not [07:12] "$ update-alternatives --display pager [07:12] basically i want to run starcraft and call of duty world at war [07:12] phil: that's cool, the /ignore command works quite well [07:12] maybe you should join ubuntu-fr , so we could laugh at yout foreigfn langaug capacity ? :P [07:12] fweet: does COD world at war run on linux? [07:12] Would downloading all of the ttf fonts from synaptic let me render obscure characters in, say Firefox? [07:12] i dont want to install Windows just for that [07:12] fweet: oh wait i see wine [07:13] wj32, well even adobe made flashplayer on 64 bits just for linux! what else do you expect? skype? [07:13] Luigi: i don't think so [07:13] Luigi: linux comes with fonts which display most unicode characters [07:13] hi [07:13] "$ update-alternatives --display pager; pager - status is manual." What does "pager - status is manual" mean? [07:13] Luigi: also, generally, you download languages as you need them [07:13] Gnea, , what the tb with you ?

[07:16] ok Flannel [07:16] Tony22: the NetworkManager can do that - just edit your connection setting for auto eth0 [07:16] my experience [07:17] okay i think i might just install Windows XP [07:17] i hate commercial apps stealing code from free software [07:17] wj32: That's not on topic for this channel [07:17] and run Centos on VMWARE [07:17] wj32: Right, do you know of how I can get fonts to cover Unicode characters I'm not displaying? [07:17] raylu: poked it? I've opened it and put it in, but then I rebooted (after using apt-get for updates) and the IP and DNS didn't stick [07:17] I hate Windows though [07:17] Luigi: ubuntu comes with fonts that display most unicode characters [07:17] B|ackPanther: that's strange. it's a long shot, but try "sudo ifup ath0" [07:17] Luigi: what language? [07:17] i m been using a P 233 with a Voodoo 1 , as a server for Ubnreal im 1998. It worked great . [07:18] wj32: Yes, I realizethis. I want to cover the rest of them, as much as possible. [07:18] great. [07:18] Tony22: oh. if you've already tried setting up the static ip in nm-applet, try doing it in /etc/network/interfaces instead [07:18] phil: That's offtopic for this channel, please take it to an appropriate channel. May I suggest #ubuntu-offtopic? [07:18] btw, Cedega aint free is it? [07:18] wj32: uhh, can I get back to you on that?

[07:18] fweet: no i dont think so [07:18] thanks raylu, i'll give it a shot [07:18] fweet: no, but it's not expensive [07:18] Luigi: if a website chooses a font that can't display the characters, you can't do anything about that [07:18] Tony22, its one of the hundreds of problems the new network manager has. see if you can handle wicd, else use the network-admin tool from gnome. i will be happy to tell you more if you ask [07:18] Flannel, you wasnted me to be real ?

Installing wine is. Detailed accounts of using wine are only marginally on topic. [07:22] to run firefox i have to type firefox3.real [07:22] wj32: sta wireless driver, don't know which module... [07:22] Tony22, keep in mind that it writes directly to the /etc/network/interfaces file, so you will need root rights everytime you use it to change a setting [07:22] gasto: /var/log/Xorg.0.log [07:23] flash043: is it crashing on a page with flash player?

I'll let you know what happens in a bit. root is no problem, plus I only hope to change this once [07:24] i don't care about that at all [07:24] Speaking of that, sometimes my loging screen doesn't appear and the screen goes black (I mean still lit and all, just black) with no cursor or pointer. I get around this by never logging out, but it's annoying because I can never hibernate and sometimes have to restart 2-3 times to get to the login screen.

[07:41] that is what you told me [07:42] gasto: this means that you should not have gotten permission denied and something is screwy with your UIDs [07:42] every time I open Opera, there's always a new tab in front of all my tabs from the previous session with the address http://0/ [07:42] it's pretty annoying [07:42] How do I know if fstab got corrupted? Some symptoms are drives are not being mounted properly, with proper read/write permissions, my "File System" is being mounted as an actual hard drive. [07:42] ls -l /var/log/Xorg.0.log [07:42] Sorry for my lack of knowledge, I am fairly new to ubuntu.

Also, honestly I wouldn't be able to tell you what a "weird looking fstab file would look like" I already went to it, and it was jibberish to me [07:43] Hilikus: put it on a webserver? [07:44] Bikeguy: mounts everything in fstab [07:44] raylu, thanks [07:44] raylu where? i think it should be /usr/share/ but im not sure, and thats not enough, there are apache permissions to be set and stuff like that [07:44] Hilikus: do you have a webserver set up locally? [07:44] its not just mv'ing files [07:44] of course [07:45] gasto: id output is 8.10 ? [07:45] Hilikus: then it is just mv-ing files [07:45] raylu: okay, so now i should try to look at that fstab file? [07:45] Hilikus: i believe the default htdocs directory is /var/www [07:45] LtL: After reading man netstat /-a, I disagree with you. [07:45] raylu: would there be any place that i could output the information for you? [07:45] Hilikus: your question has less to do with ubuntu and more to do with how you have your Web server setup. [07:45] i have several webpages running, each in its own "folder" [07:45] hey i need the newest version of gyache where can i find it? [07:46] !gyache [07:46] Sorry, I don't know anything about gyache [07:46] im having trouble pinpointing it, and the website is over 2 years over [07:46] LtL: timestamps. i'm pretty sure he was just finishing his previous statement [07:46] !gyachi [07:46] Sorry, I don't know anything about gyachi [07:46] bullgard4: after reading man netstat, whats the answer? [07:46] raylu ok, that dir has symlinks to /usr/share, i'll do that [07:46] any body has ubunut 8.10 and installed mysql ? [07:46] Doc8404: wouldn't that mean the app hasn't been updated for a long time? [07:46] !anyone | mrglinux [07:46] mrglinux: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [07:46] mrglinux: what's wrong with it [07:46] i thoughit i also had to specify the rootdir and whatever the .something file is called in apache [07:47] uhm no, actually ive read about versions higher than mine [07:47] Hilikus: No, it defaults to /var/www, just stick stuff there [07:47] cool, ill do that [07:47] thanks guys [07:47] wj32: i change my config of mysql and it doesn't work i want to change to last states [07:47] mrglinux: you can't un-overwrite files. [07:48] mrglinux: after changing the config, you have to "invoke-rc.d mysqld reload" or "invoke-rc.d mysqld restart" [07:48] mrglinux: you can do sudo apt-get remove --purge mysql-server [07:48] oh, is that what he meant [07:48] mrglinux: then install again [07:48] how do i view the fstab file? [07:48] raylu: probably [07:48] g2g bye [07:48] Bikeguy: cat /etc/fstab [07:48] raylu, uid=1000(gasto) gid=1000(gasto) groups=4(adm),20(dialout),24(cdrom),46(plugdev),108(lpadmin),123(admin),124(sambashare),1000(gasto) [07:49] raylu: Ok, you said next time my login screen fails to appear I should try to go tty and look through xorg.o.log, what should I do that with and what should I look for? [07:49] Bikeguy: in a terminal, that is. [07:49] Luigi: i usually start at the end and read up for errors [07:49] LtL: thanks, i got it, any idea of what i should be looking for to diagnose if fstab is corrupt? [07:49] gasto: then it's kind of strange that Xorg.0.log has GID 13140... [07:50] Bikeguy: what did mount -a do? [07:50] Bikeguy: too numerous to mention, why dont you pastebin it [07:50] where does Gnome store the pictures used for the desktop background ? [07:50] raylu, what do you suggest? Is there anything to reset the Xorg? [07:51] raylu: all of the same drives were mounted, i might know what do do as far as the sdc1 : aka the file system being mounted [07:51] wj32: i afraid some my software doesn't work such as smplayer because i try it last ... i removed /var/lib/mysql and create in my hoime and create symbol link to that . and after that my mysql doesn't start so i need ls -l of your /var/lib/mysql and /var/run/mysqld/ [07:51] grayhane: /usr/share/ um.... I don't remember past that. [07:51] Flannel: did that happen on a script or did you just decide to unban him?

Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [07:53] Bikeguy: you have 4 hard drives? [07:53] triggerhapp, you are correct , thanks [07:54] No worries [07:54] Is there a way to have Ubuntu connect to the wireless network before login? [07:54] LtL: After reading 'man netstat/-a' my answer is: "In Ubuntu netstat -a shows all sockets including sockets that are not created by application programs. [07:54] joe_-: i believe it involves tinkering with /etc/network/interfaces [07:54] how´d I use the package manager for installing the Nvidia driver? [07:54] raylu could you give some fucked permission of this path that i back my directory to correct user and owner instead of learn me how to use dictionary with boot ?

[08:34] kalvin_: try keytouch then [08:34] Bikeguy: what happens when you sudo mount -a ? i'd be scared [08:34] * raylu said that a long time ago [08:35] LtL: hahhahah let me check that out.... [08:35] kalvin_: before that, as ubbotu says, try setting the volume keys as keyboard shortcuts. [08:35] raylu: i thought i caught youre saying that, i walked in on this :) [08:35] LtL: well, i did sudo mount -a and my computer didn't throw shrapnel all over me....

[08:48] gerber: how is it going to affect other packages? is it just going to install more (which is normal)?

[09:17] coj: hd1,0 [09:17] coj: yes and no. hd1,0 [09:17] ah, because sdb1 is the first partition [09:18] well the box is not on network [09:18] baYVas_707: try tar -xvjf /home/$USER/Desktop/file.tar.bz2 but i would move the file into /home/user first [09:18] LtL, what chat client are you using ?

[09:18] baYVas_707: i believe their unpacking statement is wrong [09:18] theCat0: irssi [09:19] yes I did [09:19] can someone please explain me how does the network manager work in gnome? i will remove it if not! [09:19] sartak_: ok, so type "mount" and look for /dev/sdb [09:19] raylu: ok, it looks like menu,lst is pointing to the right partition for win xp, but it maps hd0<->hd1 - does that mess things up? [09:19] freqrush - yes that correct but ive started unto ubuntu - in verbose mode it states that "checkking battery state" and will not continue as it hangs [09:20] because win xp gives me "A disk read error occurred" [09:20] Hey guys can Ubuntu dual boot with windows vista? [09:20] baYVas_707: tar xvf unpacks tarballs but not tar.bz2 as far as i know [09:20] tamacracker, yes it can [09:20] coj: iirc, windows refuses to boot unless it's the first partition on the disk [09:20] anyone know why linux would have problems seeing samba shares?

[09:21] Y-Town, mount it in some folder permanently though fstab. that will teach it to behave :P [09:21] wet is there any reason why after installing Ubuntu onto the 3rd partition that Grub would not load, instead Vista boot loader would kick in? [09:21] coj: er, sorry. that's what i meant [09:21] coj: it must be on the first disk [09:21] says /dev/sdb1 /media/disk -1 [09:21] tamacracker, should change GRUB list manually. read manual there [09:21] LtL, ok, but how? i have a laptop here, installed network manager, and thats it! do i need to add an applet? note that i dont do the default ubuntu installation [09:22] raylu: and that's why the map lines are used, to trick it, right? [09:22] coj: yes. http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/DOS_002fWindows.html [09:22] wet read the manual on changing the grub list with the link that was provided? [09:22] trick isn't working though :( [09:22] jim_p: i dont think the applet is mandatory as long as its running [09:23] jim_p: my windows system sees the linux just fine and can create files etc. But the linux system doesnt see the windows system or the other linux system in the shares [09:23] sartak_: ok. grub-install /dev/sda --root-directory=/media/disk [09:23] LtL, irssi is a chat for windows i think [09:23] Y-Town, configure samba properly and use static ips if you have to [09:23] theCat0: no, though a windows port exists [09:23] shouldnt the sda be sdb1 instead since that what it shows? [09:24] sartak_: er, no [09:24] how to i can reset and unlock dvb device module in Linux, it is now in use and i want available it for my work, please help me, that is SkyStar2 rev2.8A [09:24] sartak_: you're installing grub to the mbr of the master drive (sda) [09:24] LtL, ok. how do i configure it? all i have managed to open is an app named nm-editor and i cant see notihng to do in here!

[09:25] Y-Town, in case you are not familiar with samba configurations, install swat and do your job though that web interface [09:25] coj: o.0. perhaps [09:25] LtL: so how do i unpack the compat-wireless-2.6.tar.bz2 === desti_T2 is now known as desti [09:25] jim_p: in a term try: ps aux |grep NetworkManager you should see two but atleast one [09:26] jim_p: um, Y-Town wants to access shares on other computers, i thought? [09:26] LtL: Should I use a different command? And if so, which one? [09:26] LtL: too cool for pgrep? [09:26] raylu, ok. then dont install swat [09:26] raylu: yes [09:26] LtL, ok i do. now what? [09:27] raylu: windows was always happy to boot from "hd1" in the past...this only happened after i overwrote the mbrs of all 3 HDs with GRUB (as wj32 suggested) [09:27] Interesting fact: Ubuntu 8.04 has (for me) 5 times better connection via wifi than windows xp does. Can any explain this to me? [09:27] errrr [09:27] Y-Town: good luck with that. i can't even network 2 windows computers together, so i just use openssh-server now :P [09:27] baYVas_707: be in the directory of that file or type the full path to it. tar -xvjf compat-wireless-2.6.tar.bz2 [09:27] Wutz: apocalypse now [09:28] now it says can not remove /media/disk/boot/grub/stage1 Permission denied [09:28] Wutz: xp is kinda old. and bloated. like my aunt. [09:28] sartak_: sudo on the grub-install command [09:28] raylu: lol I have 1 linus sharing just fine but this one is getting me and i know its a simple problem [09:28] raylu: thats a good idea [09:28] hell [09:28] Well, Vista is like a downgrade, so for windows it's sadl;y still the best choice [09:28] LtL: ? [09:28] EnderTheThird, while vista is new and nice and firm? [09:28] jim_p: in a term try: ps aux |grep NetworkManager to see whats up [09:29] * raylu mutters something about windows server 2008 [09:29] hi peeps is this normal for an acer aspire 9300 running ubuntu 8.10 on full battery to only have 1hrand 15 minets [09:29] jim_p: ha. i wouldn't know. i haven't even used it [09:29] LtL, it shows NetworkManager... what a suprise! its running! how do i configure it? [09:29] Btw, with XP my wifi will only get 50 kb/s MAX, with Ubuntu it gets about 250 kb/s...why is it so different? [09:29] hey hey, just moving over to linux (ubuntu or kubuntu) with vmware on (winxp host) just after some good linux antivirus and firewall programs thanks [09:30] raylu: i just use grep, i should expand my horizons, its been a long day [09:30] wzc? [09:30] Wutz could QoS be affecting the WinXP network? inc. Wifi? [09:30] LtL: for the longest time, i had an alias for ps -e | grep [09:30] Hello, I am trying to install the 'unrar' package, but in doesn't show up in the search and I have enabled the third-party software source.

The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [09:30] need help: how to get latest ati 9100 igp driver? using synaptic if possible?

I'm not very techincal [09:32] PurplePlus, and you are looking for that windows registry key? [09:32] jim_p: does it show dhcliet in that grep search too [09:32] perlmonkey: can you check what is the gateway ip on your machine ? [09:33] Wutz: When you're connecting to your wireless network, are you using Windows to do this, or another program, such as Intel's software, or Dell's, or.. Belkin's..... or whoever might be your wlan adapter manufacturer? [09:33] pdroy: yes will check [09:33] Default software [09:33] Wutz: So windows xp or vista? [09:34] LtL, yea [09:34] it is XP [09:34] jim_p: my applet is there but this might get it to run, /usr/sbin/nm-system-settings --config /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf [09:34] pdroy: gateway is router, and IP is 192.168.1.100 is correct on server interfaces file [09:34] Hello, I am trying to install the 'unrar' package, but in doesn't show up in the search and I have enabled the third-party software source. [09:35] LtL, thats what i was looking for then. nm-system-settings [09:35] jim_p: that oughta work [09:35] Hi guys, I know you must get this question a lot, but I'm kind of having trouble with my sound card. I haven't been able to get sound, and when I try adjusting my settings, it just freezes Ubuntu. I've never seen Ubuntu freeze before this. And now the volume control module won't even load at all. Any ideas? Thanks. (SoundBlaster Live! 24-bit, by the way.) [09:36] tuntun: have you updated the local cache of the repository? [09:36] raylu, i used the reload button.

[09:38] tuntun: actually, unrar-free is in universe, so regardless, your search should have turned up something. "aptitude search unrar" [09:39] Calaaros: if you dont see tour sound card, run 'asoundconf list' in a term [09:39] i can't set the burn speed for wodim. anything i set, it uses the max instead and the burn fails. is it a problem with ubuntu's wodim version or is it the cd drive? i'm using hardy.

'ip route show' [09:40] kyle_, i only know for the cpu freq [09:40] kyle_: there's a nice little utility called powertop that'll look for tweaks like that and tell you how to enable them [09:40] Calaaros: right click the upper panel, add to, search volume and add it [09:40] raylu: isn't it the same? it smlinks to wodim now [09:40] raylu, yes it shows up, but why not in synaptic?

[09:42] Calaaros: dont thank me, that may not fix your sound [09:42] LtL: I realise, but that's for that small tip. :P [09:42] *thanks [09:42] Hey, is the "superadduser" script (adduser from slackware) available on ubuntu? [09:42] Calaaros: look in its preferences, hopefully your card is listed [09:42] and if it is, whats its name? [09:42] goudkov: didn't knowthat :P [09:43] raylu: yep, it's all broken. but there is no cdrecord package any more. it's virtual and says provided by wodim [09:43] joeb3_ yes all networking config is fine [09:43] it's available on Gentoo and a few other distros I think, as it's one of the best script one could make to add a user... [09:44] what's the best IRC chatware in ubuntu? I use pidgin, fonts too little,how can make it bigger? [09:44] goudkov: try brasero, great burner [09:44] here is the problem: I can't connect to any hosts from my server, and no-one can reach my server, yet LAN connectivity to/from server is fine [09:44] LtL: it uses wodim on the back end [09:44] albert748 for irc - xchat [09:44] Joker_-_: i have no idea what you're talking about, but there's "adduser" [09:45] albert748: xchat generic for a gui app. [09:45] hi [09:45] PurplePlus, sudo apt-get install xchat? [09:46] albert748: yes [09:46] can anyone reach my server, www.magnia.net [09:46] perlmonkey: doesn't look like it. [09:46] still trying to load [09:46] LtL: It doesn't mention my sound card by name, but I remember ages ago I played around with installing 8.04, couldn't get the sound working, but then after a while got it working limitedly. So I would assume I can do it on 8.10 too, I'm just not trying hard enough. :P [09:46] raylu: http://www.sysadmin.md/useradd-from-slackware-superadduser-from-gentoo.html [09:46] :-( [09:46] LtL, people said I can use emacs? so what's your editor [09:47] this is too weird i have no clue why it should stop responding [09:47] albert748: emacs isnt simple but its powerful, i use vi or nano [09:47] perlmonkey: its pingeable, so the problem seems to be with webserver or firewall [09:47] oh! its pingeable? [09:47] i can't even ping it and im on same network [09:47] albert748: gedit is ok too [09:48] guntbert: oh, i can actually :P [09:48] perlmonkey: PING magnia.net (82.37.59.32) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from magnia.net (82.37.59.32): icmp_seq=1 ttl=51 time=55.9 ms [09:48] phew, excellent thanks gunbert that's some hope at least [09:49] albert748: try gvim its really nice GUI for vi [09:49] err vim* [09:49] LtL: haha, thanks~,nano I will have a try [09:49] Calaaros: try running asoundconf on the command line [09:50] eseven73:yes, ok, i will~ [09:50] Calaaros: that will give you its options, the goal is to set the default card to use [09:50] perlmonkey: as I suggested: look at firewall-settings [09:51] Joker_-_: never seen that in my life :P [09:51] what's "wheel" in ubuntu? [09:51] LtL: I'm looking through it now, which command should I enter? [09:51] raylu: it's simpler... should be in ubuntu imo [09:51] Joker_-_: visudo. it's admin, i think [09:51] Joker_-_: wheel is a group [09:51] yeah its gvim albert748 'sudo apt-get install gvim' [09:51] hey all [09:51] LtL: i KNOW its a group, but its not in ubuntu [09:51] Joker_-_: adduser works fine for me. there's a gui for it ...somewhere [09:51] albert748, I also recommend xchat. [09:51] guntbert: firewall is unchanged, but I suspect the problem is related to dodgy disk drive, been getting a corrupted root filesystem past 2 weeks [09:51] raylu: I'm not a GUI user :P [09:52] eseven73: gvim: like pain, but with a gui [09:52] Joker_-_: so try adduser [09:52] Joker_-_: wheel is not used by the ubuntu OS [09:52] ikonia: I figured that out, thats why I asked: what is the wheel group in ubuntu [09:52] Joker_-_: there isn't one [09:52] ikonia: in other words, what gives a user the ability to login (su) as root [09:52] Joker_-_: admin group [09:52] Hi there ppl...I have a eximax router and I wish to make a home LAN. One of my PC will be with Ubuntu and LAMP and the other with windows. I wish yto acces the Ubuntu from the windows pc using ftp and ssh, in order to work on my php applications from that ubuntu "server" [09:52] 3:51:25 raylu> Joker_-_: visudo. it's admin, i think [09:52] ikonia: thanks [09:52] tuntun, I just install it minites ago, ^_^ [09:52] Hey all... I'm a new to linux, using Ubuntu 8.10. I'm trying to find a good UPnP program to stream media to my PS3. Any good suggestions? I have found Media Tomb and Fuppes... but am looking for anything else out there. Thanks. [09:53] Joker_-_: and that won't allow su pemissions, just access to sudo [09:53] who can gibve me some links/advices/steps to follow in order to doi this? [09:53] raylu: yeah I read it, but just wanted to get everyone on the same level ;) [09:53] Joker_-_: apropos wheel [09:53] ikonia: it will give access to su ;) [09:53] Natalie: plug them both in, the router will give them dhcp addresses and your done [09:53] perlmonkey: so see to have your filesystem repaired soon :) [09:53] Joker_-_: no - it will give you access to use sudo, if you chose to use sudo to launch su, thats your call [09:53] Natalie: it sounds like there's no setup required. just port forwarding on the router and installation of clients on the windows machine [09:53] i installed the ubuntu 8.10 server edition but after installation i automatically loged in text mode can some one tell me how to get into gdm?? [09:53] Joker_-_: sorry thought you were asking a question. [09:54] marck: use the desktop version [09:54] ikonia: sudo su then change password, su is active, thanks good bye ;) [09:54] Natalie: its better to use sftp especially since you plan on using ssh anyways, FTP is insecure not encrypted [09:54] marck: the server version does not come with X11 installed and is tuned for enterprise hardware which I guess your not using, so use the desktop install [09:54] raylu: can we speak in private ? [09:54] Joker_-_: or just use sudo passwd [09:54] sudo == crap, imnsho [09:54] Natalie: try ikonia; i'm about to leave [09:54] Joker_-_: then don't go on about it [09:54] many thx [09:54] * Joker_-_ shuts up [09:54] ikonia but i want to setup the server [09:55] marck: you can setup a server using the desktop cd [09:55] marck: what are you trying to do, roughly? [09:55] marck: and that way it will come a.) targeted at your home user kit b.) with X11 and all the stuff setup for you [09:55] Anyone have any experience with UPnP streaming to PS3? [09:55] marck: the desktop CD makes a fine server [09:55] Natalie: you need to port-forward ports 21 and 22 to the approprate box [09:55] Fife3951: done it using myth [09:55] to have my oun server with mail server and appache [09:56] marck: you can do that with ubuntu-desktop just fine :) [09:56] LAMP you can call it [09:56] marck: 1.) home mail servers on a home internet connection are a bad idea - most mail servers will reject mail from you 2.) the desktop CD can do that for you [09:56] ikonia: that work pretty well? I've been thinking about trying Media Tomb or Fuppes, which are the only one's I've found so far. [09:56] LtL: can we speak in private? [09:56] LtL: Sorry, I crashed Ubuntu again. [09:56] Fife3951: worked very well, however myth just for a pnp service is probably overkill [09:57] marck: desktop version can do LAMP stack work [09:57] Natalie: if you access via lan, port forwarding isnt needed [09:57] thx you all let me try [09:57] ikonia: how so? I don't know much.. this is day three for me on my conversion from windows to linux. [09:58] marck: really it just provides a graphical desktop for you to work in. server will be a tad faster but it should be neglible on most modern hardware, unless you're taxing the hell out of it [09:58] i have to go, sorry its 4am here [09:58] Fife3951: mythtv is a full multimedia/tv recoder/server setup, just for upnp - that may be overkill [09:58] !yay | Fife3951 WOOT another convert! :) [09:58] fail [09:58] Fife3951 WOOT another convert! :): Glad you made it! :-) [09:58] I wish to give acces also from outside [09:58] ah ubottu lagging [09:58] marck: and once everything is setup you can always get it to run in terminal mode and the gui is available if you ever need it [09:59] ikonia: gotcha, thanks. Does it do conversions as well? [09:59] Fife3951: yes [09:59] hey, guys~ I use Xchat now~ [09:59] what is the /etc/.fstab.swo (data) /etc/.fstab.swn (data) /etc/.fstab.swl (data) /etc/.fstab.swm (data) /dev/.static (directory) /dev/.udev (directory) /dev/.initramfs (directory) [10:00] eseven73 and ubottu: thanks!!! I'm very happy I made the switch... and it's about time. I bang my head on the table with how many years I wasted on windows. [10:00] What I don't understand is, if Ubuntu can play that drumming thing when I go to log in, how come it can't play anything else? [10:00] why is a java JAR executable (double-click on Desktop) even when chmod 640? [10:01] ikonia: thanks again... much appreciated [10:01] Fife3951: ubottu is a bot :) [10:01] HAHA [10:01] but you're welcome [10:01] inet: where rdancer not executable, associated with something that can open it on double click [10:01] eseven73: well, I said I was new :) [10:02] happens all the time :) [10:02] Calaaros: try this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=973637 [10:02] hello, does anyone know howto setup the CNU-680 usb wireless broadband modem in ubuntu? [10:03] hey, is there programmer here? [10:03] eseven73: of course you'd think that some one who made the switch should be smart enough to realize that u-BOT-tu us a bot... sigh. [10:03] albert748: I program [10:03] haha Fife3951 [10:03] ikonia: shouldn't that be a bug? a shell script will open in an editor when not executable [10:03] miranda_psi: which language? [10:04] rdancer: no, as your not executing it [10:04] rdancer: your reading it, and it does have read permission [10:04] ikonia: java(1) executes it [10:04] rdancer: no it doesn't [10:04] rdancer: it reads it [10:04] albert748: php, ruby, perl, haskell, java, c#, c, c++, ... === zero__ is now known as somethingclever [10:04] ikonia: could you explain that? [10:05] albert748: just tell me the language you need help with and ill see what i can do... [10:05] miranda_psi: .....lol, that's crazy~ [10:05] rdancer: java does not "execute" a jar file, it "reads" the contents of it [10:05] hey im trying to upgrade to Jaunty alpha 2 but i keep getting an error while upgrading [10:05] rdancer: java is executed, not the jar file, [10:05] albert748: obviously some are good and others are just basic... [10:05] miranda_psi: how can you learn all these language? [10:05] rdancer: java is an interpreter, it is called in such a way as to execute the jar [10:05] rdancer: thats a figure of speach [10:05] rdancer: there are more ways to interpret the jar, such as examine the contents [10:06] albert748: most languages are basically the same - once you learn the syntax all you need is an api and your set [10:06] re just basic...: do you use python? [10:06] rdancer: the shell script example is an easer example [10:06] miranda_psi: do you use python? [10:06] somethingclever: for Jaunty support, head over to #ubuntu+1. This channel is limited to support of Intrepid and earlier versions. [10:06] rdancer: that would be reading it. same way, when a shell/perl script is executed by a shell/perl [10:06] ikonia: ^^ [10:07] albert748: my python is really basic, since ive never done much with it but I'm happy to give it a go... [10:07] rdancer: who is telling you this - it's nonsense [10:07] rww, thanks [10:07] Anyone know how to be able to play streaming video from NBC.com? I.E. stream their TV shows? It doesn't seem to work for me. [10:07] ikonia: i am telling you that [10:07] ikonia: why would it be nonsense? [10:07] rdancer: does tar execute a tar file when it opens it [10:07] miranda_psi: lol, that's truth, you must be a good programmer [10:08] hi [10:08] what's a good distro for a pc with 850 mhz cpu and 256 mb of ram ?? im not an expert [10:08] ikonia: better example is a self-extracting zip file [10:08] rdancer: a jar file is not a self extracting zip fie [10:08] ikonia: when non-executable, it would be interpreted as a zip file [10:08] Old_machine: maybe Xubuntu [10:08] rdancer: does tar exeute a tar file when it un-tar's a tar file [10:08] rdancer: thats very wrong [10:08] Old_machine: 'sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop' [10:08] can ubuntu run fine ? [10:09] Old_machine: i wouldnt go with Xubuntu [10:09] Old_machine: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements has Ubuntu's system requirements on it [10:09] why [10:09] ikonia: when executable, the "self-extracting" stub (which is really arbitrary program) is executed [10:09] oh i thought you had ubuntu already [10:09] albert748: that could be why i'm going into a career as a programmer :D [10:09] Xubuntu rocks [10:09] Old_machine: oh! and Xubuntu's, also :) [10:09] rdancer: it's not self extracting, a jar file is not a self extracting zip file, it is a java archive [10:09] Old_machine: set it up on mums computer with almost same specs, its not a gun [10:09] ikonia: i would expect the jar to be opened in an archive viewer [10:09] albert748: so whats you python problem? [10:09] miranda_psi: so, can I ask you when I meet problem [10:09] rdancer: java IS the archive viewer [10:10] miranda_psi: Still no sound, even after removing all that Pulse Audio stuff. [10:10] hi there! does totem run .mp4 media file? [10:10] ikonia: it's an archive, which happens to be executable. the self-extracting zip-file is quite correct parallel [10:10] rdancer: look - it's not a bug, your wrong, so if you want to log a bug, log it, it will get closd, [10:10] rdancer: no, ikonia, you're wrong [10:10] miranda_psi: lol, not now~I will ask you later [10:10] rdancer: this is pointless discussing it, because you are wrong, so log a bug if it makes you feel better watch it get closed [10:10] b1n42y: just because Xubuntu didnt work out for you does not mean its not a good OS! [10:10] b1n42y: why wouldnt you go with xubuntu ? [10:10] albert748: sure, but unless its ubuntu related you should do it in a pm [10:10] miranda_psi: can I have you E-mail? [10:10] Old_machine: theres nothing wrong with Xubuntu [10:10] ikonia: also, you're being rude, which is making me quite angry [10:11] !mp4 [10:11] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [10:11] rdancer: I'm not being rude [10:11] !xubuntu [10:11] Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME.

[10:12] sorry bingungaja that was meant for b1n42y [10:13] miranda_psi: Everything is up. Still no sound. :P [10:13] ikonia: "he can't" would mean he just can't use the command "su". but he can. [10:13] Joker_-_: anyone can "launch" su, only people with the password can actually use it to complete, which has nothing to do with the admin group [10:13] miranda_psi: I use ubuntu only a few month , so always meet problem [10:13] ikonia: not in other distros... people not in "wheel" group can't run SU [10:13] hey gues need some help [10:13] Joker_-_: anyone can launch the command (check the permissions) - that has nothing to do with the admin group [10:13] Old_machine: try Ubuntu first, then Xubuntu if it doesnt work out [10:13] Old_machine: if you installed ubuntu 1st then youd be stuck with its libraries or want to remove them,,, [10:13] ikonia: thats a major security issue. [10:13] abhiroop: go ahead and ask your question; you don't need to get permission first :) [10:13] thanks :) [10:13] Joker_-_: we established earlier ubuntu doesn't use the wheel group - remember, so why is that a surprise [10:13] so basically I had a 1TB NTFS formatted drive [10:13] ... [10:13] ikonia: dunno, tought linux was linux. [10:13] Old_machine: you could try standard Ubuntu and then install the xubuntu desktop on to it by typing "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop" into a terminal window of the installed Ubuntu distro [10:14] i copied all the data of it, and reformatted it to ext3 (using gparted) [10:14] Joker_-_: linux is a kernel, how a distro packages and implments features differ [10:14] Old_machine: why bother.... [10:14] <[e]Lement> Old_machine, I find installing Xubuntu clean is easier [10:14] Hi! [10:14] ikonia: guess you like to be right. [10:14] I've a little problem with HAL [10:14] hooray for logic [10:14] Joker_-_: not at all, just trying to be clear, as if I'm not clear you pick me up on it [10:14] after formatting i plugged it back in and whenever I try and copy something to it it gives me a permission error [10:14] When i insert a USB Key in my XFCE [10:14] it mounts fine though [10:14] Its mounter without rights of my user [10:14] logic heh more like stupidity and ignorance [10:14] ikonia: do you understand my point or not? [10:15] right 000 [10:15] Joker_-_: I do, but I don't find it valid [10:15] how to have 700 in rights of mounted disks ? [10:15] Please help me. [10:15] !permissions [10:15] An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [10:15] old_machine: it's kinda personal preference. I'm pretty sure Xubuntu will work fine on the system you described. Standard Ubuntu might be pushing it. So if you want to play it safe and just do one install, do Xubuntu. [10:15] abhiroop: Yup. ext3 partitions, by default, have their base directory owned by root and not writable by normal users. How do you want it to be set up? Do you want anyone to be able to read and write to it, or just your user? [10:15] Calaaros: so it works when you log in, but stops after that? [10:15] Please .how inspect for rootkit: /etc/.fstab.swo (data) /etc/.fstab.swn (data) /etc/.fstab.swl (data) /etc/.fstab.swm (data) /dev/.static (directory) /dev/.udev (directory) /dev/.initramfs (directory) [10:15] i just want to be able to use it [10:15] help.. I just reinstalled 8.04 LTS SERVER on a box I want to put to use... I carefully set up my user name and pwd.. and now that it has rebooted, it's not accepting the pwd I assigned..... [10:16] Asher256: read the link [10:16] okok [10:16] inet: there is a binary called "chkrootkit" but to be honest, if you suspect you have been rooted, you should re-install [10:16] i mean basically when it was formatted in ntfs and I plugged in the drive I could copy files/folders without a problem [10:16] do I have to reinstall, or how can I get this reset? [10:16] miranda_psi: I just meant, that log-on noise comes through my headphones fine, but once I'm in Ubuntu itself, I can't get sound from anywhere. [10:16] now i am getting the following error: The folder ".gnome2_private" cannot be copied because you do not have permissions to create it in the destination. [10:16] b1n42y, this link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions ? [10:16] like you said changing permissions would probably work [10:17] Asher256: yep [10:17] but I also need it to work with windows, for which I use Ext2IFS, but will changing permissions affect it in windows? [10:17] rww? [10:17] abhiroop: Right, because NTFS doesn't have permissions set up. If you don't care that any users of the computer will be able to write to the drive, you can just do "sudo chmod -R 777 /path/to/mountpoint" [10:17] b1n42y, oky, i'm going to read the link. Thanks. I'll see if its the solution. [10:17] abhiroop: by the way, Ext2IFS requires that you use a certain inode size, and Ubuntu uses a different inode size by default. I'd look into that first. [10:17] rww: don't foget ntfs is mounted with "fuse" [10:18] hi [10:18] rww: thanks [10:18] that worked [10:18] anyone? know how I can get past this password issue? [10:18] callaros: do you have mplayer installed? [10:18] no one in ubunutu +1 can help me [10:18] b1n42y, it's not the solution. Because i'm searching a solution for automount (thunar + volman) [10:18] b1n42y, any idea ? [10:18] hey, so Network Manager has a static IP bug right? any ideas on getting around it? I heard gnome-network-admin thrown around to solve it but I'm not 100% [10:18] ikonia: He reformatted the ntfs partition as ext3. I was explaining why he could write to the ntfs partition, but not the ext3 one. I'm not too clear on FUSE, though, so if it made my answer incorrect, I'd be happy to hear specifics :) [10:18] bonez45: you locked out of system ? [10:18] b1n42y, when i insert a disk, the permission are bad. It's 000 and i want 700. [10:18] Tony22:Use wicd [10:18] ikonia: does any user depends of sudo command in Ubuntu? (I'd like to create wheel group and make it owner of su / sudo in order to make ubuntu work just like every other distro I'm used to) [10:18] huy [10:18] rww: no no, I miss that [10:19] rww: "missed" that part [10:19] miranda_psi: mplayer no, but I installed VLC. [10:19] Hi, can anyone help. I dual boot ubuntu and windows and have removed windows xp from my computer alltogether. Its a laptop and have found that what I thought was a recovery disk is in fact just a disk that reboots using software already on the laptop/ which i have removed. I still have the windows sticker and disk, can I just use a friends window CD reinstall and then just go rom there with my CD i have and then I will be back to normal and can du [10:19] b1n42y: well, so it appears.. I know I could reload the cdrom and reinstall it, but wonder if there's a faster way [10:19] Asher256: sounds like you need to mess with a config file [10:19] Joker_-_: the user that you first created to admin the box depends on sudo [10:19] b1n42y, possible... [10:19] somethingclever: okay. Put the error that you're getting into http://paste.ubuntu.com/ and put the link to it in here, please. [10:19] b1n42y: ideas? [10:19] b1n42y, but i dont know where to search :( [10:19] ikonia: besides it, no script or whatever "NEEDS" sudo? [10:19] abhiroop: Okay. Make sure you check on that inode thing, if you haven't already. Caused me a lot of headaches >.> [10:20] Anybody here testing ubuntu 9.04? [10:20] bonez45: google resetting password using grub menu [10:20] Asher256: that's really weird. how are you confirming the permissions? [10:20] inode thing? [10:20] whats that? [10:20] Joker_-_: well. thinks like update manager, synaptic etc etc are launched from the menu with sudo, you could make the "admin" group act as a wheel group, that could be easier and more straight forward [10:20] Calaaros: can you install mplayer? might be able to get some information from it [10:20] Joker_-_: just make admin the owner of su , then it's the same setup as a whell [10:20] wheel [10:20] shankhs: thanks, looking into it [10:20] Alright. Maybe someone can help. I have a Logitech Quickcam Pro and everything major solution has been tried... and failed. I fire up Cheese the light on my cam comes on, shows no picture, then the program crashes. Halp? [10:21] Asher256: tried google automount configuration file [10:21] ikonia: aight, will do. [10:21] ikonia: thanks for your support [10:21] Joker_-_: just seems a more direct approach, [10:21] Joker_-_: no problem [10:21] I'm trying to get wireless working.. if I set the key with iwconfig, how can I tell if I got the key correct or not? [10:21] rww: what do you mean by inode? [10:21] abhiroop: ah. I mentioned it, but it probably got lost in the channel noise. EXT2IFS only supports ext partitions with an inode size of less than or equal to 128 bytes. Ubuntu, if I remember correctly, uses larger inode sizes by default, so ext2/3 drives made in Ubuntu won't work with EXT2IFS without some workaround... I'll go find it for you. [10:21] Asher256: you will need to find the right file to edit and set permissions inside for the mount [10:21] Sorethumb: cheese is hit and miss with that cam...it works only part of the time with mine...acts flaky [10:22] I can set the essid and key etc for ath0, but dhclient doesnt get an ip. Does this mean that dhcp isnt working, or that the key is wrong or what? [10:22] b1n42y, oki (but it's not only mount, it's also HAL Deamon i think) [10:22] ah ok thats interesting! [10:22] there doesnt seem to be any feedback? [10:22] hmmmm [10:22] PokerFacePenguin: I also tried camorama and got the same results. [10:22] so is it "bad" to have an inode size of 128 bytes? [10:22] johnflux, does iwconfig show associated? [10:22] rww: you can create the /home partition manually and install with that. /home doesn't need to be formatted [10:22] Joker_-_: make sure you keep setuid on su though - that is important [10:23] Sorethumb: camoramo uses v4l version one...yours uses v4l2 with uvc module loaded [10:23] abhiroop: Are you using Ubuntu Hardy or Ubuntu Intrepid? [10:23] How to re-register my nick here?I forgot the password [10:23] shankhs: ask in #freenode [10:23] PokerFacePunguin: Ahhhhhhh, understood! Okay, what is another program I can use to test this out? [10:23] rww: thanks for the help. I restarted my XP and now I can access my HD without any trouble! [10:23] intrepid... [10:23] Asher256: have you tried inserting when you are root [10:23] joeb3 one sec [10:23] b1n42y, yes, it works [10:24] Sorethumb: try xawtv to test it out...i got it working in cinelerra tonite [10:24] I am installing Ubuntu on a machine with an existing Windows installation. I instructed the graphical installer to resize some partitions. Will the Windows installation be destroyed by the installer? [10:24] abhiroop: huh. So everything is working fine on both Windows XP and Ubuntu? [10:24] b1n42y, the problem is with my normal user [10:24] miranda_psi: Is mplayer the same as Totem Movie Player? [10:24] Calaaros:NO [10:24] Calaaros: no [10:24] pozic: no. that's what resize means [10:24] Asher256: well than its automount permissions... but im no guru [10:24] Calaaros:NO [10:24] :P Can't find mplayer then, lol. [10:24] How to re-register my nick here?I forgot the password [10:24] yes it seems to be! [10:24] pokerfacepengin: Is that in apt? And also could the multiple "solutions" conflict with each other? [10:24] Calaaros: no - the totem player uses gstreamer by default and there is also a xine version as well [10:24] shankhs: ask in #freenode, not here. We can't help you with that. [10:24] Oh wait, I see it now. [10:25] Calaaros:do sudo apt-get install mplayer [10:25] raylu: well, the final instructions seemed to suggest otherwise. I just moved the slider bar. [10:25] miranda_psi: Okay, so what did you want me to do in mplayer? [10:25] Calaaros: its available in the repository - just go into the synaptic package manager and search for mplayer [10:25] pozic: hm? what did the final instructions say? [10:25] I already installed it, I meant I couldn't find it in the menu. [10:25] raylu: It's probably all OK, I just wanted to make sure. [10:25] abhiroop: heh, ignore all my inode discussion, then. I guess that bug got fixed and it didn't get mentioned on EXT2IFS's homepage... [10:25] But it's okay, I found it eventually. [10:25] Sorethumb: yes it is in apt...also try vlc, but you have to configure the gui with video capture device first (/dev/video0) [10:25] rww: by the way I am not too familiar with ext2ifs. I have a lot of data (about 500gb) on another drive that I want to copy over to my newly formatted Ext3 drive. [10:25] b1n42y, thanks, i'll continue my searching ^^ [10:25] Calaaros: alt + f2 and typ name [10:25] Calaaros:Its in sound&vdeo [10:25] PokerFacePenguin: I'll fire up VLC real quick [10:25] Calaaros: thats fine - its a commandline movie player, though you can get guis for it [10:26] Asher256: good luck [10:26] Asher256: that's really weird. how are you confirming the permissions? [10:26] how do I execute a .sh file? [10:26] Yes, I found it eventually, thanks b1n42y and shankhs. :P [10:26] Sorethumb: a tip...to get it working in cinelerra use 640x480 resolution if you are trying 30fps [10:26] joeb3 it doesnt say associated anywhere [10:26] rww:I don't want to use my Ubuntu, as its a laptop and I may need to move around. So, I am using my XP. Is it slower/unsafe/generally messy to do it over XP? That is to say is it worse? [10:26] Calaaros: try: mplayer -ao alsa:device=hw=0 somemediafile [10:26] raylu: partitions 5 and 6 will be formatted and the disk table will be changed. [10:26] rodolfo:change the prmissions and just write your sh file name in terminal with ./ [10:26] Hi -- Is there a pastebinit package for image hosting? [10:26] raylu, confirming permission ? I'm doing nothing. It's the automount of Thunar / Volman (it uses HAL, i readed that in the Wiki) [10:27] miranda_psi: smiling at the cli wont help [10:27] raylu: probably the lower partitions are the Windows partitions. [10:27] PokerFacePenguin: I'm trying it in VLC and will notify you of the results [10:27] pozic: those are most likely your / and swap partitions [10:27] How to re-register my nick here?I forgot the password [10:27] Please help [10:27] Asher256: as in, how do you know the permissions are 000? [10:27] abhiroop: To be honest, I'm not sure. I had problems with that inode stuff and ended up file transferring from an Ubuntu live CD, so I can't be much help with the Windows side of things :( [10:27] b1n42y, Calaaros: that smiley is a ':' followed by a 'd' [10:27] shankhs: freenode and /help [10:27] trf [10:27] raylu, ls -l /media/ [10:27] shankhs: #chanserv [10:27] miranda_psi: ;p [10:27] pokerfacepenguin: Works! Thanks a lot! [10:27] (if you didnt figure that out... [10:27] raylu: ok, thanks. Until now the installation has been smooth. [10:28] rww: hmmm ok fair enough...I'll do it over XP then. What about the journaling issue in Ext2ifs? Basically that Ext2IFS does not support journalling and so will this cause any problems? [10:28] Sorethumb: no problem [10:28] ask default permissions /etc/.pwd.lock /etc/.fstab.swo /etc/.fstab.swn /etc/.fstab.swl /etc/.fstab.swm / dev/.static/dev/.udev /dev/.initramfs /dev/.initramfs-tools [10:28] can any one get me the link to download the ubuntu ultimate edition [10:28] shankhs: once I double clicked a .sh file, Ubuntu used to ask me if I want to execute the file or just view it...now it doesn't do that anymore. I tried browsing the file through the terminal as SUDO and the terminal tells me 'permission denied' [10:28] Pokerfacepenguin: Does this mean it will work with things such as skype, stickam, etc? [10:28] marck: are you serious? [10:28] cavalleri [10:28] marck: Go back under your bridge. [10:29] abhiroop: That's addressed in the Ext2 IFS FAQ: http://www.fs-driver.org/faq.html#acc_ext3 [10:29] marck: www.google.com [10:29] #cavalleri [10:29] what do that ment for > [10:29] I wonder how many people are paid by Microsoft to troll in this channel and misinform :) [10:29] join #cavalleri [10:29] miranda_psi: I can play music through mplayer. :D [10:29] pozic: How much are they paying? :D [10:29] Sorethumb: skype will work with vid...havent got audio to work with it yet...if you run xawtv and close it, a xawtv.bin process might lock it up for other programs...kill it and it will work again [10:30] pozic: I'm not one of them - i swear :P [10:30] inet: I don't really understand your question. Are you asking for the default permissions of those files? [10:30] yes [10:30] Sorethumb: I don't know, but it would be nice to be the HRM person interviewing the trolls :) [10:30] _join: #cavalleri [10:30] Calaaros: thats great to hear - go to system, preferences, sound and set everything to alsa and see if that works for you [10:30] marck: Ubuntu Ultimate Edition is not endorsed by Ubuntu or Canonical, and we can't provide support for it. That said, the download site appears to be http://downloadubuntusoftware.info/ [10:30] pokerfacepenguin: Thanks again man [10:30] inet: okay. Give me a sec and I'll grab them for you [10:30] pozic: I have quite the resume. :P [10:31] is it possible to reinstall ubuntu to switch from 64bit to 32bit, without it deleting all my files in /home etc? [10:31] Sorethumb: glad to help [10:31] Sorethumb: "Most people wanted to become a fireman, but I knew I wanted to become a troll when I was born". ;) [10:31] pozic: Damn straight, I'm one of those people that just can't shake the temptation of mischeif. [10:31] Is there a way to install all the packages from the Ubuntu DVD btw? [10:32] How to switch on sound via HDMI output in laptop? I see only picture and sound coming from laptop not from TV speakers [10:32] Or just as many as possible, since different packages sometimes supply the same service? [10:32] boby [10:33] umm, so network manager won't keep static IPs. someone said Wicd is a good alternative. I added them as a source repository for intrepid, and nothing... [10:33] Does Ubuntu use the package names as used in Debian? [10:33] rww: i think ultimate edition redefines unprofessional [10:33] This isn't a support question, but, would it be POSSIBLE to write a linux worm? Or is it a low market-share? [10:33] pozic: not strictly, but usually yes [10:33] pozic: usually they try to [10:33] Tony22: personally i prefer network manager to wicd [10:33] I.e., can I use dpkg --get-selections? [10:33] shankhs: I got it solved. Just right-clicked the .sh file -> properties -> permissions tab and checked 'allow execution of the file as a program' gives me the 'what do you want to do with this file?' pop-up back. thx [10:33] Sorethumb: don't ask if it's not support [10:33] johnflux: yes, you can reinstall without wiping all your files in /home.. I'd recommend a backup first though [10:33] Sorethumb: you asked a question starting with "would it be possible," to which the answer is always yes [10:34] ikonia: Sorry, just morbid curiousity. [10:34] miranda, network manager has a bug where it won't keep static IP information after reboot [10:34] Sorethumb: no problem [10:34] otherwise I wouldn't bother [10:34] raylu: Semantics :P [10:34] miranda_psi: Thanks for your help. :) Appears that the audio channel was "Analogue Front"... but I still can't seem to play anything in VLC. [10:34] raylu: would it be possible to solve the Halting problem on a Turing machine? [10:34] at least I've been told it has a bug... I have a bug. I know that much. [10:34] raylu: ^^ [10:34] i just know that "cfs" won't work in 64bit, anyone know any program similar to "cfs" that will work in ubuntu 64bits please please please [10:35] bingungaja: tell us what cfs does? [10:35] Alright, time for bed, thanks for the help. [10:35] inet: http://paste.ubuntu.com/98908/ is what I have on my (newly installed) Intrepid system [10:35] ok thanks [10:36] Tony22: if you have wicd installed you should probably uninstall network manager s they dont conflict, and you can launch wicd from the commandline by: wicd (from memory) [10:36] i can't get it to install. that's the problem. someone also suggested gnome-network-admin [10:36] inet: let me know if you need any more help; good luck :) [10:36] how do i check devices on usb?

[10:38] how do i check if a usb device was successfully installed? [10:38] Slart: i guess so, using with command "cattach, cdettach, etc" [10:38] pozic: no, but rather it is not a problem P [10:38] pozic: *:P [10:39] jinji-sheep: not that I'm aware of, no.

I might have more luck with forums since I'm sure that the question have been asked (I hope). ;o [10:40] I'm having trouble finding a thread on the forums for this, but I thought this was common. The issue is that my external USB disk will unmount and remount if it goes idle for too long. Any chance anyone here is familiar with this?

[10:49] Slart: too bad, it seems this software is very good and simple, i tried truecrypt, but will it take a long time to encrypt a 2gb folder using truecrypt ? [10:49] found it: 'automatically join channel' setting. now i'm not sure how it picks which server to connect to [10:50] okay I got it - sorry for pestering. [10:50] Tony22: try running: sudo nm-connection-editor and setting it up like that and see if that helps...

I don't remember doing it.) if you'd like I can do things via command line with a little instruction. [10:51] bingungaja: I don't think you'll starve to death before it's finished.. but I don't really know [10:51] Tony22: just launch the editor from the command line using sudo as i described above [10:51] Slart: thx :P [10:52] Tony22: (again) try running: sudo nm-connection-editor and setting it up like that and see if that helps...

So Dapper is supported, Feisty is EOL, Gutsy is supported? [10:59] rww: so.. 3 years of support for something that came out would mean it's supported until 2009-06.. I'm guessing Dapper Drake is it [10:59] rww: why not try writing !gutsy see what it says [11:00] Slart: wait, nvm, I found https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases which is much clearer :) [11:01] rww =) [11:01] What is the filename of the sourcecode of the bash that defines the bash history?

[11:04] kihbord: try updating your package list.. also try selecting a new mirror in software sources [11:04] morning. I just started Firefox and it popped up without window borders (not in fullscreen mode, though), and every time I click some menu it flickers a little bit [11:04] Start: I've done both of them but still nothing [11:04] and it's always on top of all the other windows [11:05] does anyone have a clue why it suddenly stopped using window-borders? (compiz-fusion, emerald, gnome) It's the only application that behaves like this [11:06] /join ##linux [11:06] tillux: I think it _is_ fullscreen. Do you see the gnome panels when it's on top? [11:07] hello! Can you please tell me how to apply my .emerald themes (that I downloaded recently) ?? [11:07] crdlb: well it does fill the screen completely, but it isn't in fullscreen mode itself (cause I can hit f11 to set it to fullscreen). However, now, I can't see the gnome-panels, because I enabled autohide [11:07] kihbord: hmm.. then I'm out of ideas, sorry [11:07] -w [11:07] tillux: firefox is not in fullscreen mode, but the window itself has been made fullscreen by a buggy compiz feature [11:07] hi, guys. i've download some debs, then i reinstall system and want update debs, but via local dir, how can i do this? [11:08] tillux: press F11, then re-size the window [11:08] tillux: do you have ccsm? [11:08] Bas: dpkg -i $deb_file [11:08] start: Thanks. [11:08] use the compiz-switch [11:08] crdlb: yep... I just wondered why it suddenly changed, cause I didn't change anything [11:08] anyone else encountered the same problem? [11:08] tillux: in ccsm, go to the Workarounds plugin and disable Legacy fullscreen support [11:09] Tony22: yes /etc/network/interfaces is the main network configuration file. have a look at this and it should help you set it up to get your static ip address: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/ubuntu-networking-configuration-using-command-line.html [11:09] ikonia, yeah, but this install all debs :( i want that apt-get and synaptic update from local dir [11:09] Bas: then you build a local repo [11:09] Bas: and it won't install all the debs only the ones YOU tell it to [11:09] Tony22: I'm off to get some sleep now, but if you have any more problems feel free to pm them to me and i'll look at them in the morning :) [11:09] crdlb: thanks, that fixed it :) [11:10] miranda_psi: looking [11:10] hhelpppp please [11:10] ikonia, i try create local repo, but i've error and pkgs managers download debs via internet :( [11:11] does ubuntu x64 support 8GB of ram?

[11:20] archman: yes. Also, I agree with ikonia.

Using Xubuntu on a Dell Inspiron 600m... [11:21] unable to access dpkg status read only ? [11:21] ikonia: but where are the built versions? i dont see them on the page? i know, gutsy is not supported anymore.... [11:21] why is that? [11:21] for instance, im trying to install sensors-applet. when i first installed it, it gave me the option to start at startup. I've tried uninstalling it through synaptic, but the installation screen doesnt even come up anymore when i reinstall it. [11:22] archman thats why you don't see them, but gutsy is still supported I think for a little longer [11:22] miranda_psi: uh oh... now auto eth0 isn't showing up at all in network configuration [11:22] ikonia: ill try to find deb for gutsy, you know where to look? [11:22] ac3_0f_spad3s: Oh. I see what's going on. [11:23] * stmartin : hello! Can you please tell me how to apply my .emerald themes (that I downloaded recently) ?? [11:23] whats that [11:23] archman: gaim is used it gutsy is it not ? [11:23] I've also got this problem where when I'm booting from the harddrive, the screen goes completely blank before I enter the desktop environment, and I have to wait like a minute to a minute and a half, then type startx (Nothing shows up on screen, all black but still lit) and hit enter, then it shows me the screen to login.. Any fixes, or should I keep this as a security feature? [11:23] rww: whats that [11:23] ikonia: yes it is [11:23] archman: thats probably why pidgin is not packaged then [11:23] archman: as gaim is linked into the desktop [11:23] ac3_0f_spad3s: sensors-applet recommends hddtemp, which has an installation option asking whether you want to run it at startup (you should probably answer no to that, btw). [11:24] archman: I would advise you to bring your desktop up to a more current version if you want to use current software packages [11:24] ac3_0f_spad3s: if you still have hddtemp installed, sudo dpkg-reconfigure hddtemp should work. [11:24] why should i answer no to that? [11:25] rww: why should i answer no to that? [11:25] ikonia: i know, i was adviced a few times...but i'm a noob music producer and have a lot of software tuned up to work nice (also low-latency, which is much important to me)...so i still chill about getting an upgrade... [11:25] ac3_0f_spad3s: the installation options screen explains it. See http://paste.ubuntu.com/98936/ [11:26] ac3_0f_spad3s: basically, unless you know you need it started at startup, you probably don't. [11:26] archman: then you can't really expect to use current software packages [11:26] ikonia: i know... [11:26] * stmartin : hello! Can you please tell me how to apply my .emerald themes (that I downloaded recently) ?? [11:26] ikonia: and that's why i don't like that 6month release period.. [11:26] ;) [11:26] Hello. I got an issue with mplayer. Regardless of the version I use (Ibex, Medibuntu etc.) I got an segfault immediatly. [11:27] archman: I agree with you on that [11:27] stmartin: better to just ask, rather than us "/me" commands [11:27] ikonia: Can you please tell me how to apply my .emerald themes (that I downloaded recently) ?? [11:28] stmartin: if you use the emerald theme manager you can apply them [11:28] I have Emerald Manager+ Compiz fusion [11:28] miranda_psi: uh oh... now auto eth0 isn't showing up at all in network configuration (again) [11:28] I use it [11:28] Hi [11:28] but I can't see any apply button?

[11:28] I don't know what they are [11:28] how to check it?

[11:35] vari_karin: with "sudo apt-get install pidgin" [11:35] !sudo | vari_karin [11:35] vari_karin: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information.

[11:43] _UMBRO_: someone trying to send you a file, report it in #freenode if you don't know him [11:44] Myrth: 64bit flash is a very early better, so that person is illinformed [11:44] martinfrench: Don't ask to ask, just tell us your problem, dude. ;) [11:44] Lol, didn't I?

Running Ubuntu 8.10. I have an Nvidia card with 2 DVI outs, and it works ok with dual monitor. Then I bought a DVI-to-HDMI cable and connected it to the computer and the TV, but xrandr -q only shows one screen. What am I missing? [11:46] But it still doesn't make sense that the live boot would have capabilities that the hdd boot doesn't. [11:47] all i had to do to access windows share was install samba then it came up in network [11:47] Terabytten: because i guess the live cd is kinda preconfigured, and your system not [11:47] Even when I use xrandr, it says the max display for my laptop is 640... [11:47] rww: Thanks i'll take a look. [11:47] Terabytten: maybe post your xorg.conf in a pastebin pls [11:47] that seems quite lame! lol. [11:47] ikonia: where does pidgin store all the info about 'contacts' ? in /usr/share/ ? [11:48] Tony22:its working but not showing windows workgroup.. [11:48] umm.. where would I find that at? [11:48] archman: /home/yourUsername/.purple/ [11:48] rww: tnx!

[11:48] okay... so I guess I need to restate my problem. I just installed 8.10. I need to set the computer with a static IP. I can do that, but Network Manager will not keep the settings after a reboot. I've gone through /etc/network/interfaces and that doesn't seem to work (but I might be doing it incorrectly.) I've also setup my sources to grab Wicd (I think) but I can't seem to get it to install. Any suggestions would be appreciated on getting a stati [11:49] archman: good luck, you'll need it >.> [11:49] archman: again, I strongly advise you not to [11:49] Evening chieftons.

Please check the output device settings and the project sample rate.", can anyone help me with that, please? [11:50] OK. I already have VLC player. When I load it up it is just a little bar and I the menu options I cant find anything that allows me to watch the DVD. I figure that it would be better to start trying to play the dvd rather than try rip it. [11:50] martinfrench: did you follow the information in the URL I sent you [11:51] how to let Gedit Indent? [11:51] Tony22:how to create a workgroup in ubuntu? [11:51] I looked at it and browsed down to the section on playing DVDs. I typed the thing starting with sudo into applications terminal and I didn't seem to make a difference. [11:52] martinfrench: you need more than 1 command [11:52] martinfrench: READ the link I sent you [11:52] haha 1sec. [11:52] martinfrench: it's really annoying when there is a guide typed out [11:52] martinfrench: I'm not laughing [11:52] anu: Edit > Preferences > Plugins > [X] Indent Lines [11:52] martinfrench: it's insultint when you ask for help, you're given a guide which does it for you and you don't read it [11:52] One second please. Don't be so harsh [11:52] martinfrench: don't waste peoples time [11:52] thank you rww [11:52] anu: then Ctrl-T to indent and Ctrl-Shift-T to unindent :) [11:52] is it possible to get the newest stable kernel without compiling it myself? running ubuntu 8.10 [11:52] s_ar_aarr: no [11:53] ganesh: actually try this guide instead http://jngalloway.wordpress.com/2008/06/08/easy-file-sharing-in-ubuntu-no-editing-text-files/ [11:53] ikonia, i have got 5-6 kernels the last year when using ubuntu [11:53] ikonia: I'm sorry I missread the first part. [11:53] don't know why it suddenly has stopped [11:53] s_ar_aarr: you only get a new kernel offered when ubuntu packages a new kernel [11:53] * delcoyote hi [11:53] s_ar_aarr: ubuntu only packages a new kernel when one is needed [11:54] ikonia, hmm, ok [11:54] delcoyote: just say "hi" not /me hi [11:54] ikonia, but they have released 5-6 new kernels the last 6 months right? [11:54] s_ar_aarr: for what version [11:54] I'm trying to use Audacity, but for some reason it won't play the audio file and gives me this error: "Error while opening sound device. Please check the output device settings and the project sample rate.", can anyone help me with that, please? [11:54] s_ar_aarr: I've only seen about 4 for 8.10 [11:54] ikonia, ubuntu 8.04 and 8.10 [11:54] i didnt ikonia [11:54] i did a /ame [11:54] oh, i mean auto-indent,gedit [11:54] :) [11:54] ikonia, ok, when could we expect the 2.6.28 kernel u think? [11:55] s_ar_aarr: 8.04 has had 5 - 8 kernels released [11:55] s_ar_aarr: never [11:55] s_ar_aarr: ubuntu rarley if ever changes major kernel release [11:55] ikonia, aha [11:55] anu: Edit > Preferences > Editor > [X] Enable automatic indentation [11:55] ikonia, just releases small changes to kernel? [11:55] s_ar_aarr: backports normally [11:55] ikonia: I clicked on the three things at the top which is what I think I was meant to do (the guide is a bit vague) And then typed that thing into application terminal again. It didn't seem to make a difference. I followed all 4 steps. [11:55] thank you again rww >< :) [11:55] okay... so I guess I need to restate my problem. I just installed 8.10. I need to set the computer with a static IP. I can do that, but Network Manager will not keep the settings after a reboot. I've gone through /etc/network/interfaces and that doesn't seem to work (but I might be doing it incorrectly.) I've also setup my sources to grab Wicd (I think) but I can't seem to get it to install. Any suggestions would be appreciated on getting a stati [11:55] martinfrench: the guide is not vague [11:55] Hey guys, I just installed Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Ubuntu 8.10 on separate partitions but on the same hard drive, but for some reason after installing Ubuntu Vista doesn't list Ubuntu as one of the OS to choose from. Can anyone assist me? [11:56] martinfrench: it tells you exactly what to do [11:56] anu: You're welcome :) [11:56] martinfrench: it doesn't tell you to clikc on the links, [11:56] ikonia, but the kernel 2.6.28, i shouldn't run into too many problems compiling it? [11:56] s_ar_aarr: I suspect you will run into many problems [11:56] s_ar_aarr: why do you want the .28 kernel ? [11:56] ikonia, because of the GEM so compiz can run smoothy on my old intel graphic card [11:56] martinfrench: if you can't be bothered to read and follow the document properly - I can't be bothered helping [11:57] s_ar_aarr: what card do you have ? [11:57] s_ar_aarr: you do know that the kernel doesn't provide X11 graphics drivers ? [11:57] intel 82855 [11:57] ikonia: I am not sure that we are on the same page. You sent me a help page which I assumed to click on videos and dvds. I am on the page: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/musicvideophotos/C/video.html#video-dvd [11:57] I'm trying to use Audacity, but for some reason it won't play the audio file and gives me this error: "Error while opening sound device. Please check the output device settings and the project sample rate.", can anyone help me with that, please? [11:58] ikonia, i was told that compiz now run perfects with the new kernel, it's still a bit lag when running now [11:58] martinfrench: yes, thats the right page [11:58] s_ar_aarr: I doubt %99.9 that the kernel will change compiz's performance [11:58] martinfrench: okay, those instructions look right. Which step are you up to on there? [11:58] rww: none - because he's not reading them [11:59] rwww: I believe I followed all the steps. Clicked the top three links. typed that thing. then put the disc in. [11:59] martinfrench: where did it say click on the links [12:00] ikonia: I understand that you're an operator and it's not my place to criticise you, but that attitude really isn't necessary. [12:00] martinfrench: show me where it said "click on these three links" [12:00] ikonia, some says i can add the jaunty sources and update the kernel too, it works fine [12:00] ikonia: It didn't but I assumed that I was meant to. [12:00] rww: your welcome to critise, feeedback is also welcome [12:00] martinfrench: I told you READ it [12:00] martinfrench:don't assume [12:00] martinfrench: it spells it out in clear english for you [12:00] martinfrench: your making mistakes because you're not reading the text [12:01] martinfrench: Ah, I see what's wrong. You're not supposed to click those links. You're supposed to install the packages. You'll want to do something like "sudo apt-get install libdvdnav4 libdvdread3 gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly" [12:01] martinfrench: the hyperlinks are just there to provide more information on the packages if you want it. [12:01] rww: it tells him what to do - [12:01] rww: the words "install the following packages" [12:01] rww: hence why I'm not impressed that someone has taken the time to write this document and now on 3 occasions he won't read it [12:02] rww: Thank you very much much better help for someone linux illiterate. [12:02] martinfrench: your not linux illiterate - your just not reading [12:02] ikonia: not everyone is a linux wizard. I read every word at least twice. [12:02] thanks very much again, rww :) you help me a lot [12:02] martinfrench: so why did you click the links ? [12:02] martinfrench: why did you not install the packages [12:03] Ikonia: Because that is how i thought you installed them. [12:03] ikonia: The documentation could be better-written. It's somewhat unfortunate that it's not in the world-editable part of help.ubuntu.com. [12:03] ikonia: although I understand why, of course. [12:03] martinfrench: then say "I don't know how to install" [12:03] hi all [12:03] martinfrench: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/add-applications/C/index.html [12:04] martinfrench: but I suggest you skim over the basic introduction stuff on https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/ [12:04] ikonia: If we are going to be pointing out peoples flaws then: You should have realised that I didn't know how if I said I was clicking on the links. [12:04] What is better for freenode, xchat or pidgin? [12:05] I prefer XChat [12:05] 'better' is pretty subjective tho [12:05] Misterio: every client has his pros and cons, just try them out for yourself [12:05] Misterio: either will work fine. Many people prefer XChat over Pidgin, but both are useable. [12:05] martinfrench: unless you provide feedback beyond "it does nothing" we can't know [12:05] ok. I have typed in the install thing that rww told me to do but substituted in each package. then typed in the one on step 2. [12:06] There has been no changes [12:06] but in repos are you, xchat and xchat-gnome, what is the original? [12:06] Sorry for my english [12:06] When I do just $ xrandr by itself, if comes up with 'screen 0' for my monitor, if I want to refer to it using '$ xrandr --addmode' Would I do screen, screen 0, screen_0... or...? [12:06] martinfrench: exactly what did you type [12:06] martinfrench: exactly - to the letter [12:06] *two [12:06] My dvd spins up when I insert it. but then nothing [12:06] no you [12:06] xD [12:06] Misterio: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [12:06] Hey guys, I just installed Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Ubuntu 8.10 on separate partitions but on the same hard drive, but for some reason after installing Ubuntu Vista doesn't list Ubuntu as one of the OS to choose from. Can anyone assist me? [12:06] Misterio: xchat. xchat-gnome is a heavily-edited version of xchat that makes rather controversial changes. [12:06] >.> [12:06] martinfrench: Did you say earlier that you've already installed VLC? or was that someone else? [12:06] having trouble installing java plugin [12:06] again lol i always forget how to do this one [12:07] illmortal: the vista / windows boot loader is not aware of other os's [12:07] That was already there for me. [12:07] illmortal: you need grub to boot ubuntu [12:07] !gurb > Imaginativeone_ [12:07] Sorry, I don't know anything about gurb [12:07] oops [12:07] !grub > illmortal [12:07] illmortal, please see my private message [12:07] ikonia, shouldn't Ubuntu have made Grub into the default boot loader? [12:07] illmortal: yes, but you installed vista which overwrites it [12:08] martinfrench: after installing those packages and running that install-css script, I usually am able to play DVDs by opening vlc and issuing File -> Open Disc (I think that's the menu option, anyway. Give me a sec and I'll check). [12:08] I'm trying to use Audacity, but for some reason it won't play the audio file and gives me this error: "Error while opening sound device. Please check the output device settings and the project sample rate.", can anyone help me with that, please? [12:08] Could someone help me install the Java plugin? [12:08] ikonia, nono, I installed vista prior to Ubuntu [12:08] Anyone else having trouble getting apt-get update to run due to network issues? [12:08] Dexi: do you want the official Sun one? [12:08] so Ubuntu's Grub should have over-written Vista's boot loader [12:08] I'm banned from #ubuntu-offtopic for no reason. Please help :) [12:09] Dexi: "sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre icedtea6-plugin" if so [12:09] is the us archive down? [12:09] theunixgeek: ask about it in #ubuntu-ops, not here [12:09] rww: thanks :) [12:09] rww: that is what I have been trying to do. I cannot find the disc === Paddy_EIRE is now known as Clive [12:09] i have a hp pavillon dv7 1199-ef, and i have no sound , i think i have to compile myself drivers but how do i hnow which ones? [12:09] * rww grabs a dvd [12:09] rww: Wouldn't it mount usually? [12:10] rww thanks [12:10] Dexi: not sure if the icedtea thing is strictly necessary. If you're curious, feel free to test that. You do need the jre, though. [12:11] i really want some iced tea right now [12:11] Is anyone else not able to update their ubuntu installation atm? === Clive is now known as Paddy_EIRE [12:11] My xorg.conf: patebin.com/md0a9d8f [12:11] kgodwin: I got the latest CDs of a friend and installed fresh. [12:12] er [12:12] My xorg.conf: pastebin.com/md0a9d8f [12:12] lol [12:12] rww: Any further ideas? [12:12] martinfrench: okay. I did all of those commands we already did. I then put a DVD in the drive. It popped up an autorun dialog box, but I ignored it because I know I want to use VLC. I open VLC from the "Sound and Video" menu. I do Media > Open Disc. The "disc device" is set to /dev/scd0, which is correct and is my dvd drive. I press Play. It works. [12:13] rww: I did all the same but only got as far as inserting the DVD. No auto run pops up. [12:13] !grub | illmortal [12:13] illmortal: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [12:13] Umm... If somebody can help me with my screen resolution problems.. please PM? [12:14] martinfrench: okay. What happens if you skip that step and go on to the VLC stuff? [12:14] hey is anyone else having problems with repos [12:14] i cant connect or something [12:14] Ya Dexi [12:14] rww: Yeah. When I go "Open disc" I cannot find the disc. I tried this multiple times now. [12:14] Dexi: looks like us.archive.ubuntu.com is down right now. I'm using ubuntu.cs.utah.edu and it's working fine. [12:14] you having problems with US repos too? [12:14] yeah just started [12:15] like 5 mins ago at least [12:15] How do we switch repos? ;) [12:15] beats me [12:15] martinfrench: So the setting for "Disc device" is blank or incorrect? [12:15] i dont know anything about this stuff [12:15] hence my presence here :D [12:15] I've never had to switch repos ;( [12:15] rww: Blank. but Usually The disc would mount woudln't it [12:16] im gonna give 'er a reboot right now, could use one pretty bad... back soon [12:16] Dexi, kgodwin: System > Administration > Software Sources > Download from: Other, and either select a server from the box that comes up, or hit Select BEst Server [12:16] martinfrench: Yeah. This may be a stupid question, but... are you sure it's a DVD drive, not a CD-only drive? [12:16] rww: I need the command line version ;) [12:17] kgodwin: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list and do it manually. [12:17] rww: 100% haha on windows I watch dvds i rent all the time. it's top of the range according to the guy at austin comupters. [12:17] has anyone here worked with Moto4Lin? I can't get it to connect to my V3 razor [12:17] rww: ty [12:17] Hello! I am downloading Ubuntu repository. This is 25392 MiB. How to slip this to 6 or 5 DVDs? [12:17] martinfrench: okay, just checking. You never can be too sure in here... So you've watched that particular DVD on Windows on the same computer? [12:18] rww: not this exact one. It's one of the High definition DVDs [12:18] If I reinstall Grub, should Grub be able to see the other Windows' partition [12:18] ? [12:18] Dexi: i can't connect [12:18] (intrepid) how do i get xorg/nvidia autodetection to use custom refresh rates in the monitor section of xorg.conf? Setting them in ServerLayout -> Screen -> Monitor does not seem to have an effect [12:18] martinfrench: Have you watched HD-DVDs on this computer before? [12:19] it's not a HD-DVD just a high definition quality dvd. [12:19] trying to remember how to write this.. i need to execute this to auto extract a bunch of tar.gz files in a directory.. something like: for i in $i | do tar -zxf $i.tar.gz [i know that's wrong] [12:19] Hi! I am downloading Ubuntu repository (8.10, without source). This is 25392 MiB. How to slip this to 6 or 5 DVDs? [12:19] illmortal: the grub documentation should tell you about that [12:19] bonne année a toutes et a tous, politesse oblige [12:19] rww: the ones in the boxes with the curved top. [12:20] anyone? Moto4Lin? [12:20] The documentation, unfortunately is pretty vague and has nothing to do with the current situation. [12:20] rww: can Ubuntu play those? [12:20] us repos back up [12:20] I'll just go to the forumboards. [12:20] AH!!! something is seriously wrong! [12:21] Whats wrong Dexi? The repos are back >.< [12:21] linux booted in 800x600 and is complaining it cant detect display or something === hackbox is now known as HacKBoX [12:21] Zenitur: you shouldn't need to download the entire repository [12:21] hello [12:21] gonna reboot again [12:22] ugh >.> linux... [12:22] glymph, I am student without money for unlimited Internet. [12:22] Zenitur. why don't you hijack internet [12:22] Zenitur: in that case, just use the repositories to download the packages you need whilst installing [12:23] HacKBoX, in Russia? It will be crached without any hacks... No, thank you... [12:23] crached? [12:23] crashed [12:24] crashed by who? [12:24] Who was I helping a few minutes ago? My cat attacked my wireless router and disconnected me >.> [12:24] martinfrench: okay, just checking. You never can be too sure in here... So you've watched that particular DVD on Windows on the same computer? [12:24] last thing I saw you say [12:24] kgodwin: thanks [12:24] rww: maybe you should spent more time with your cat :P [12:24] i try to upgrade to 9.04 but it can't find the update files to the norwegian mirror [12:24] any ideas how to change this?

Does anyone know if there is a fix for this? [12:36] rww: yes, even all plugins worked, although i bypassed some of them, they are not needed to me...so a little dep solving, and thats it! [12:36] babuto: you have to dynamically receive an ip address from the router before it will ping [12:36] Babuto`, try taking down the NIC, editing the interfaces files, then restarting the NIC [12:36] Babuto`: it sounds like your network card isn't recognised, check the output of "lspci", which will list the PCI devices in the system against the output of "dmesg", which should give details of what has been successfully discovered [12:36] who here is part of the doc team?

[12:57] Babuto`: are you just trying to get eth1 to connect automatically with dhcp on startup? or is there something more complicated here I'm not seeing? [12:58] rww : actually less complicated : i can't even connect right now (i'm on another computer) [12:58] rww i don't understand why i'm not connected with the other computer, since the ethernet cable is plugged [12:59] Can anyone tell me why Palm Pilot synch software is justifiable as installed by default? [12:59] hello [12:59] hello [12:59] help me [12:59] Babuto`: okay. So you have two computers connected by an ethernet cable, with nothing (like a router) between them, and want to network them? [12:59] i can't log in with my amsn [12:59] Does anyone use SCIM succesfully with Skype? [13:00] no i have a router in my house, and i have several computers (on windows or mac os) connected to it [13:00] but i can't have my kubuntu connected to the router (192.168.1.1) [13:00] amjed: further info about your problem maybe?

I am having problem with greek characters and PIcassa. Any clues? [13:00] Babuto`: oh, okay, i see. sorry, i misunderstood. The other part of your problem was that KDE was messed up so you can't get NetworkManager, right? [13:01] it's say error conecting to server [13:01] rww plasma crashes at startup so i can't use networkmanager (so i removed it) [13:01] I've check the proxy [13:01] so now i'm trying to connect to internet to fix the kde and plasma problems [13:01] without networkmanager [13:01] and everything is ok [13:01] Babuto: This is just a quick check. Did you try to reset your router and plug it back in then reboot the machine? [13:02] Babuto`: okay. "sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces". The only thing in there right now is the lo line, right? If so, add the line "iface eth1 inet dhcp" [13:02] Babuto`: (stop me if I'm retreading old territory you've already been over with others) [13:02] but i can't log in [13:02] amjed: without proxy? works? === Swish[\] is now known as Swish [13:02] what can I do?

[13:08] Babuto`: awesome, glad I could help :). If you ever do get NetworkManager running again, consider removing those lines, 'cause NM tends to get annoyed by them. Just an fyi. [13:09] rww ok [13:09] now i have plasma that does not start, but i may find more help on #kde [13:09] Babuto`: yeah. or #kubuntu. [13:09] rww: there is a good way to handle vlc, drop it and leave it for dead until its sane again [13:09] hspaans: I do not disagree with the people that argue that vlc should be dropped from the repos. [13:10] Babuto: I had no clue why it wouldn't support it but I was checking against linuxquestions.org [13:10] clou, hspaans: anyway, perhaps we should take this to #ubuntu-offtopic, since we're wandering outside of the scope of #ubuntu... [13:12] do i need to use the nvidia drivers to get x running? arent there any fallbacks? [13:12] yes [13:12] mizipzor: afaik the fallback is normal vesa [13:12] but not by default [13:12] you have to edit your xorg.conf (or whatever it is now) [13:13] smtx: its still xorg.conf... at least for me === smtx is now known as phun [13:13] nvidia-xconfig [13:13] hello all, I have a acer laptop 256 ram 120 gb hard drive... would I be able to run ubuntu on this?

[13:17] mizipzor: Yes, change "nvidia" to "vesa" and restart to get into a fail safe session [13:18] mizipzor: yep soreau is probably better informed than me but vesa should do the job [13:18] SemiApocalyptic: what does dmesg say?

[13:19] its a movie file [13:19] avi or divx [13:19] abuyusuf_, dmesg shows it plugged into ttyACM0, but I can't find it listed under /dev [13:19] datta: you can run "file yourfile.dat" in a terminal to get some info about it [13:19] homy: It scrolls a tonne of "... Sense Key: No Sense [current] ..." messages [13:20] can't i convert it? [13:20] jeeves_Moss, try to remount it [13:20] SemiApocalyptic: the last few messages are important.

[13:29] e3018_: don't worry, linux does a lot of advanced caching and buffering === SPFhome is now known as SPF [13:29] jeeves_Moss, it should appear directly, and should be listed in MOUNT, what i think is there a problem with the device or the USB port in your hardware [13:30] homy: the used column in the +/- buffers row is the same as the number in the system monitor for me [13:30] abuyusuf_, I've trued this phone on my other systems, and on this one (but under windows), and it works [13:30] Slart: oh, yeah, I was looking at the Mem: line. [13:30] If I'm on a live boot from a USB drive, is there any way to save changes on it for the next reboot? [13:30] ede: still not authorized to start it [13:31] homy: ah.. that's without all the buffers used for caching files and stuff [13:31] homy: or rather.. the mem line includes those [13:31] Slart: so actually, only the memory indicated by the Mem: line is available, but if different buffers are cleared (which isn't bad), as much as given in the +/- ... line is available? [13:32] homy: right.. and the buffers are cleared automatically if a process needs more memory [13:32] Slart: thanks. [13:32] if the system says my user isnt authorized to run startx, what permissions must i give? [13:32] jeeves_Moss, open your "Places" menu, you don't see it there ?

[13:34] mizipzor: post it on pastebin [13:34] jeeves_Moss, Do you detect any CPU activity while plugging the device ? [13:34] abuyusuf_, not really. this is a 2.4Gx Dual [13:35] jeeves_Moss, i see, i don't know in real, that should work !, sorry, try asking someone else, may be have some another solution [13:35] when i plug my device, i never detect.......ah, whatever [13:36] abuyusuf_, thanks again for your help [13:36] is ubuntu with a wubi install slower than a clean install?

[13:39] amitprakash, try "locate config.gz" [13:39] my - ok - that might be the issue [13:39] Maggie: yes [13:39] :-) - i will get this install working perfect then do a fresh install on another partition [13:40] homy - thanks [13:40] chipt4, no ....I mean only the desktop envitonments [13:40] minipzor: add "1> output.txt 2>&1" to your command [13:40] luddite: you're welcome [13:40] hspaans: thx [13:40] amitprakash: in /boot [13:40] hspaans, how do u do it without apt-get [13:41] Maggie: apt-get install kde ? [13:41] Maggie: ah, ok. to do it without aptitude, you'll have to get the source & compile it yourself, i suppose [13:41] @homy, how to do it without apt-get [13:41] Maggie: sudo aptitude install kde :) ? [13:42] Maggie: apt-get is your package manager interface [13:42] hspaans, yes [13:42] Maggie: why do you want to do it without apt-get? [13:43] hspaans: what... when running that command to catch the error message, it started. strange, ill try a reboot and see what happens [13:43] Maggie: maybe you want a gui? Then use system->Administration->Synaptic [13:43] but anyway, bye now. [13:44] rrw, Coz i dont know why but i am not able to dwnload anything usin package manager and apt-get [13:44] rww, Coz i dont know why but i am not able to dwnload anything usin package manager and apt-get [13:45] Maggie: you should fix that first, post those errors on pastebin [13:45] Maggie: okay. I'd strongly suggest that we work through and fix those problems so that you can use the package manager, because doing it otherwise will make a huge mess at best. [13:45] okkk [13:45] * Dexi forgets how to update to intrepid [13:46] Maggie: Okay. The easiest way to figure this out will be if I give you some commands to run in the terminal, and you paste them into pastebin and give me the link. === matthew_ is now known as KC2ORE [13:46] !upgrade | Dexi [13:46] Dexi: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [13:46] but how can i download it when package manager and apt-get doesnt download anythin [13:46] Maggie: because we're going to fix the package manager so it *does* download stuff. [13:46] is needs some help with ltsp using kde and usb printing. [13:47] rww, how can i fix package manager? [13:47] may be a bit off topic (related to beagle search). I got 0.3.8 on intrepid and it's using an insane amount of memory. 1.2GB or so. [13:47] anyone with similar issues? [13:48] Maggie: run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" and post it to pastebin [13:48] !pastebin [13:48] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

[13:48] when i boot into ubuntu it halts at "checking battery state" - how can i get it to skip/cancel that step [13:49] hey guys im not getting sound from youtube vids (flash) [13:49] Dexi: firefox?

[13:57] @rww, yeah very odd [13:57] Maggie: well, I guess we can answer your original question then... sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop for KDE4, sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop for Xfce [13:57] by-pass^: gnome-backgrounds [13:58] suc 8.04 upping to intrepid.

[13:58] Igramul: (assuming you're using GNOME) [13:58] rww: Thanks. [13:58] i think it works a lot better on intrepid [13:59] i had intrepid yesterday but i messed it up trying to switch to KDE [13:59] @rww ,will these commands install Kde or kubuntu? [13:59] @dexi did you install from Synaptic adobe-flashplugin or did you install from firefox? [13:59] psycocyst, from firefox [13:59] Maggie: Kubuntu is just Ubuntu with KDE. [13:59] went to pandora.com and clicked "Install missing plugin" [14:00] @dexi check in synaptic if it is install on your system? [14:00] Dexi: check the firefoxrc file [14:00] I can't remember the location of that particular rc file [14:00] so just do an updatedb [14:00] and use locate [14:00] If I install kde, does my gnome menu contains kde software? [14:00] unanxbt: yes [14:00] psycocyst, flash is installed because the vids play but no sound... i think im going to upgrade to intrepid and see if that doesnt fix it... im pretty sure it will [14:00] join #ubuntu-de [14:01] gonna crawl in bed while that downloads [14:01] rww, then how can i install kde so that the gnome does not affect by it? [14:01] and also Dexi, you dont want KDE. [14:01] Can anyone explain why this is happening? http://i42.tinypic.com/33xwuue.jpg http://i43.tinypic.com/2i20ykn.jpg [14:01] :) [14:01] siccness, no kidding!!! [14:01] rww: will I be able to switch between desktop environments? [14:01] unanxbt, yes you'll be able to use them [14:01] it is a mess [14:01] unanxbt: I don't know of a way to do that. There might be one, but I'm not aware of it. [14:01] openbox standalone is the key. [14:01] @Dexi not a bad idea most of the updates are much better [14:01] openbox is teh shit [14:01] brb [14:01] join #ubuntu.de [14:01] Maggie: yes. Both kdm (KDE login manager) and gdm (GNOME login manager) have options to log into either GNOME or kde [14:02] Does anyone know? [14:02] rww ,thanx [14:02] Hello [14:02] unanxbt: you should just be able to install the kde desktop and it'll will show up as an option when you log in [14:03] Question: on a new hard drive do you think it would be "better" to install ubuntu or windows first in a dual boot system? [14:03] windows [14:03] russell__, Windows [14:03] windows xp [14:03] windows [14:03] join #ubuntu-de [14:04] russell__: or if you wanted to be cool, just install linux. [14:04] deagle, no, i mean that how can i install so that the gnome menu does not mess up with kde softwares and also kde menu does not mess up with gnome softwares? [14:04] why is that so? [14:04] leave windows on another machine :P [14:04] russell__: because Microsoft are arrogant, basically. === haltija is now known as emt [14:04] russell__, because windows do clear the MBR and set it to boot Windows-Systems only [14:04] is there an ubuntu seen bot? [14:04] russell__, so your linux will dissapear ! [14:05] joi #ubuntu-de [14:05] Currently I'm running Hardy, trying to configure /etc/hosts on my LAMP server, but when I go to my domain.com from my computer from the same network, the website won't show up. How can I configure /etc/hosts/ to let me show my site on my local network? [14:06] Neulix, it's '/join #ubuntu-de' :P Remember the slash, forget the quotes [14:06] unanxbt: by "mess up with" what do you mean? === root is now known as chevil [14:06] J-_: what? [14:06] @j-_ best thing to do would be to iinstall webmin [14:06] does linux offer any triple monitor support? [14:06] as far as I know, you can run both (just obviously not at the same time... unless you run separate gdms... nevermind) [14:06] @ phno.. thx [14:06] J-_: are you able to ping the hostname? [14:07] russell__, not tried that, but i'm working now on dual-monitor and it works fine [14:07] and returns the correct IP address? [14:07] J-_, have you looked at your apache config? [14:07] and then secondly [14:07] is it correctly configured under apache? [14:07] russell__, i think it can handle more than two also [14:07] i.e. make sure the ip set in the config is the one you're trying to access [14:07] and thirdly, is your nsswitch config setup to handle hosts or dns first? [14:07] abuyusuf_: yeah I had a dual mon. setup, but 2 days b4 the newyear my house was broken into [14:07] siccness: I'll see if I can ping it. Not sure if it's correctly configure under apache. It should be? I remember back in Dapper I had no problem like this. [14:08] everything of value was stolen [14:08] siccness: I can ping it. [14:08] abuyusuf_, sorry for that !, and you want now to do a triple-monitor system with linux ? [14:08] step 2, check your nsswitch.conf file [14:09] just so you're not hittin dns [14:09] hi all. Can an existing x-session be connected to from a different host? [14:09] siccness: Where is it? /etc/nsswitch.conf? [14:09] bingo [14:09] :) [14:09] J-_, ping != http access... the machine might be up but httpd.conf could still be shagged -- more info, mate! [14:09] abuyusuf: yeah the stole the hdtv so I was thinking about a triple monitor setup and use one of the monitors as a tv sometimes [14:09] r3dux: basic troubleshooting first [14:09] nods @ siccness [14:10] How can I "lock" gnome wallpaper? [14:10] <]Oblivion[> ciao a tutti [14:10] siccness: what am I looking for in /etc/nsswitch.conf? [14:10] which is first, dns or hosts [14:11] Is it possible to start Smart Boot Manager from lilo? [14:11] emt - you could chmod 000 the bit of gnome that allows it to change wallpapers - that way only root would be able to change [14:11] russell__, no problem, just plug them in, and it should work with no extra actions, just change what you need in "System > Preferences > Screen Resolution" [14:11] Or from a USB drive? [14:11] exit [14:11] could someone help me figure out how to set a gtk theme engine and all apps use the same one? ever since i started using gtk-chtheme it seems that some apps don't know which engine it's supposed to be using [14:11] hosts: then networks: no dns: [14:11] r3dux: How exactly? [14:12] J-_: ok awesome [14:12] is apache actually running? [14:12] deagle, i mean the gnome (or kde) menu automatically adds softwares of the other desktop environment [14:12] deagle, that apps you talk abut, running under the same user or another one ? === spY is now known as Guest7821 [14:12] siccness: Yes.

[15:21] abuyusuf_, but server iso can install minimum? [15:21] I have found on the official ubuntu forums - the same issue as recently as November. With no solution listed [15:21] Whitor: iirc usually it's due to grub trying to access wrong partition uuid so check out what's the uuid of your /boot and then modify grub menu.lst to point to the correct partition. if the error appears already before grub menu then you have propably crap in MBR and just need to rewrite mbr with correct info [15:21] Omar87: doesn't audacity use oss? I don't know how to fix it though [15:21] metbsd, sure [15:21] abuyusuf_: Everything else works like a charm. [15:22] I have an external monitor hooked up to my laptop, and I'm using both screens. Everything works fine EXCEPT the external monitors screen is partly duplicated onto the right edge of the laptop screen. Is there some magic trick to make this go away? [15:22] piksi, yeah, I checked that, root=(0,1)- is correct, boots with older kernels [15:22] I just wanted to share that I feel dirty... Installed IE6 on ubuntu and wondered if anyone could pat me on the pack and tell me everything will be ok... [15:22] Omar87, OK, Check for what Audacity uses, OSS Or what ? [15:23] uuid ... hm, I don't know how to check that [15:23] craigbass1976: it won't, you need to commit seppuku [15:23] Slart, abuyusuf_: At another thread on Launchpad, they say it uses, JACK. [15:23] piksi, eh? [15:23] craigbass1976: is it slow on ubuntu [15:23] How to I verify proper UUID for the grub menu ? [15:23] Slart, abuyusuf_L However, JACK doesn't even exist on my machine. [15:23] Whitor: boot to rescue mode on cd, mount your file systems and check /dev/disk/by-* directories and their contents and fstab contents [15:24] thiebaude, this box is kind of a turd anyway [15:24] piksi, What am I checking for ? [15:24] Whitor: and after that check if menu.lst has correct uuid (the long string of dashes, letters and numbers) [15:24] Omar87: jack is .. a replacement for esd I think.. I don't think it's available in ubuntu, no [15:24] Omar87, apt-get install jack [15:24] Omar87, apt-get install jackd [15:24] Omar87, the last command i sent, that should install JACK [15:24] piksi, googled seppuku. harhar. [15:24] Omar87: oh.. listen to abuyusuf_ instead.. he seems to know what hes' talking about [15:24] The guest user can restart X with Ctrl+Alt+Backspace just fine, but me (the normal user) can't. I assume this has to do with wrong xkb mapping somehow, but I'm not sure where to start. Any clues? [15:25] * unop pats craigbass1976 on the back saying, "it will all be ok in the end, you'll have reverted to something saner" :) [15:25] Slart, abuyusuf_: Yeah, however, the first command seems to work too. [15:25] as soon as idiots stop using, and making site that only work in it... I'll be much happier [15:26] Omar87, Good news, after install complete, retry with Audacity [15:26] craigbass1976, i just tend to change the UA strings on firefox to masquerade as IE -- and most sites work fine [15:26] I have three long strings of numbers in /dev/disk/by-UUID/ [15:26] Omar87: jack (without the 'd') seems to be some kind of mp3/ogg ripper [15:27] How do I determine which one ic the correct one? [15:27] jack isn't a ripper [15:27] ic = is [15:27] it's a way of connecting audio channels together [15:27] Hey Alfred, I've got a bone for you!

[17:13] I have problems with my connection. Under Vista, everything seems to work nicely. In Ubuntu (8.10) I can surf and limitedly use the connection (IRC works, for example), but advanced/interactive webpages don't work correctly. For example, gmail/facebook disconnect, I can't login correctly to bank accounts or post messages to forums. This issue is reproducible in Epiphany, since this is not a firefox problem. My ISP claims that if things work in [17:13] Vista they should work the same in Ubuntu. I do not think this is a DNS problem, since the problematic sites does load. Any idea what can I do to further diagnose the problem/solve it?

It has a speaker icon and a mic icon as buttons below the slider. Neither of them have red Xs through them so I guess that means it is selected [18:36] it was too full so I deleted it [18:36] hello guys. I'm trying to fix a problem - it seems, that common user doesn't have access to firewire device (though no kino capture). It works using root, therefore i guess it's permission issue. What group should I add the user to? [18:36] hspaans: sorry about that I am new to ubuntu. I have a compaq presarrio 2100 laptop. When i load the instaler disk for Ubuntu Server 8.04 Hardy the keyboard works great. when ubuntu loaded for the first time the keyboard still worked great.

When I log in to Ubuntu after shut down/restart/standby, my wireless card does not automatically detect my network, nor does it detect any networks. However, after I create a wireless network, it does detect my access point. Does anyone know why this is happening or how I can fix this? [18:39] hspaans: it works fine with the install cd that is what i cant understand [18:39] greetings [18:39] JonathanEllis: press alt-printscreen then upload the image to a image site [18:39] Is there a desktop equivalent to the minimal install on the server CD?

[18:41] NintendoGuy0: Well I can do it by installing the minimal server install then "sudo apt-get install xorg gnome-desktop gdm", but that still uses the server kernel which isn't configured for responsiveness. [18:41] Hi all! I have a prob with compiling vmware server on Ubuntu 8.10 (Can't build vmmon), I try to use a patch. But it doesn't seem to work at all. (The patch I used before is now gone) ;/ [18:41] Guest33682: you can install everything yourself, that would take awhile. look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LowMemorySystems [18:41] Rapture2k4: just 10G for those combines is enough and create seperate files systems for /home and /var/spool [18:42] hspaans: I can press the escape key before it loads grub and it brings up a menu. I just tried ctrl-f7 and nothing happened [18:42] cwill747: I don't want to install everything, so that might be the answer - cheers [18:42] hspaans: i've only got a 10GB boot drive :/ [18:42] some pornsites dont work on firefox on intrepid ibex. the error is no flash player plugin. but the error continues to show even after the installation [18:42] Rapture2k4: server only?

[18:42] Rapture2k4: 2G for / should be enough [18:43] what do you get for your $20? do they include full driver support or something? [18:43] omny_devi, I googled this morning to find how to repair mi raid1, but I always get the message "Device or resource busy" [18:43] JonnyDY2J: I mean when the machine has booted fully [18:43] PosterBoy: try ALT+F2 and: gnome-panel [18:43] rgnr: You Still There? [18:43] and is there any way to get a laptop at best buy that's guaranteed to be fully compatible with Ubuntu? [18:43] JonnyDY2J: or does the boot-menu also not work? [18:43] HacKBoX: y [18:43] abstrakt: did you check to see if they include corporate software or support?

[18:45] cwill747, awesome thanks [18:45] abstrakt: no prob [18:45] thanks for the help, Ape3000 [18:45] abstrakt: just check the ubuntu hcl, if it works with ubuntu then other distro's will also work [18:46] hspaans: the boot menu works fine. just held ctrl+f7 for around 20 seconds and nothing happens. [18:46] converting in the printer queue? what is that? [18:46] HacKBoX: well i've just purged the files from lib32 [18:46] hspaans, by HCL i assume you mean "hardware compatibility list" and is that the same link as what cwill gave me? [18:46] well, one of the three he just gave me [18:46] HacKBoX: however it's still not empty [18:46] JonnyDY2J: ok good, can you boot into recovery mode?

[18:47] is there any issue with making my swap partition my first primary partition? or should it always be an extended partition? [18:47] Is there a one click way to get a slit screen with two directories so dragging and dropping files can be done without minimizinf and resizing two directories? [18:47] JonathanEllis: In the Sound Preference > Sound capture, choose ALSA or OSS, may be there is one that works [18:47] hspaans, sweet thx [18:47] hola [18:47] Rapture2k4: it can be primary [18:47] Rapture2k4: if you have a backup of everything then just create / and swap [18:47] alguien de mexico df [18:48] hols [18:48] alright, sorted [18:48] fresh install, nothing to backup... just don't want to screw myself off the line [18:48] it was "disk" group [18:48] hi [18:48] im having an ./autogen.sh creation failure and i cant install this program withotu creating it :S [18:48] gaz_ [18:48] well i still dont have my top panel : ( === gaz is now known as gaz_ [18:48] Doc8404: which application?

You'd think there was a way to bring up two stacked directories like DOS 5+ used to [18:50] Doc8404: you missing build-essentials, but why not use xchat for example? [18:50] Rapture2k4: a few hundred mb at most. it stores the kernel image and associated data [18:50] rapture2k4 the boot loader and OS location information is stored in boot. It doesn't need to be big - 100mb max [18:50] hspaans i cant get into yahoo messenger with xchat [18:50] I am trying to have this command run to change the cpu voltage "echo “9:21 72:20 6:17 134:17″ > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/phc_controls".

In Ubuntu (8.10) I can surf and limitedly use the connection (IRC works, for example), but advanced/interactive webpages don't work correctly. For example, gmail/facebook disconnect, I can't login correctly to bank accounts or post messages to forums. This issue is reproducible in Epiphany, hence this is not a firefox problem. My ISP claims that if things work in [18:51] Vista they should work the same in Ubuntu. I do not think this is a DNS problem, since the problematic sites does load. Any idea what can I do to further diagnose the problem/solve it? [18:51] and do the yahoo chat rooms and webcams? my wife wants me to use the webcam she got me [18:51] is there anyway to install a rpm in ubuntu [18:51] Hiho === Deamer is now known as DeamerAFK [18:51] JonnyDY2J: you can use your keyboard in the bootmenu?

[19:23] Helo1234: let's say you did a new parti, sda6 [19:23] acce245: you want use vlc as the default?

Want to view via my ip address via internet. Any ideas why it only opens on localhost? [19:31] gaz_, need to open ports on the firewall/router if you have one. [19:31] gaz_, port 80 is typical http traffic. [19:32] acce245: sorry, but you want vlc to open your media files instead of mplayer? [19:32] how would I open the firewall / route ports? [19:32] sundec: Yeah. [19:32] DasEI: i just edited fstab, files are copied, now how can i move the home? [19:32] gaz_: if your only testing from your local network, you may not be able to loopback from inside the network back inside, do you have a router? [19:32] gaz: it's only listeing on the localhost interface [19:32] guys i was looking for an app which could allow me to chat preferably voice and video over the network without internet connectivity [19:32] ?? [19:33] tgpraveen: ekiga [19:33] I do have a router. [19:33] Helo1234:you could run the cmd's I gave you, so I can have a look [19:33] gaz_, in you're firewall/router... firestarter is probably the *easiest* way to manage traffic on ubuntu. you have to login to your router to open ports on that. [19:33] acce245: on hard disk or dvd? [19:33] sundec: I can use vlc just fine on its own. [19:33] Helo1234:pastebinit /etc/fstab [19:33] zsquareplusc: it can do?? are u sure ? what i want is that if 2 pcs are connected via lan then it should chat directly [19:33] paste* [19:34] no need of net [19:34] acce245: right click on a media file type you want to open in vlc, go properties, open with and then select vlc from the list there (or add it if you have to) [19:34] zsquareplusc: also with all software it can chat?? only ekiga [19:34] ?? [19:34] I am working with samba in 8.10 and having a problem. All systems windows and linux on the network can see and read and write to eachother just fine. But when the windows system puts a directory in the linux shared directory and you look in that folder on the linux system the new file shows a lock on it? how can I fix this? [19:34] tgpraveen: yes, ekiga even anouces itself on the LAN using zeroconf (you'll even see others when you add the zeroconf applet to the panel) [19:35] hi [19:35] I'm in my router... I do not see a place that would block certain ports... any suggestions as to what the heading would be?

[19:35] zsquareplusc: also with all software it can chat?? only ekiga?? [19:36] Y-town: you are getting that lock showing up because you are not the user that samba used to put the file/folder in [19:36] gaz_: whats the model router? [19:36] sundec: I want to use vlc in place of mplayer in the transcoding process for dvdrip, but I don't know how to write that command. [19:36] tgpraveen: what do you mean? there are many protocols and many softwarees that are incompatible. however ekiga supports at least2 common protocols you find lots of apps [19:37] LyncSys... [19:37] debaser: do you have access to a cdrom/dvd on another machine [19:37] miranda_psi: yes I believe so [19:37] gaz_: it can be called port forwarding, nat, or virtual servers, in some router configs i've seen, you can check for sure if you follow the directions at portforward.com [19:37] wrt54g? [19:37] How can I install ubuntu without a CD/DVD drive?

[19:37] acce245: I use mplayer and plays all files [19:37] perj: yes [19:37] zsquareplusc: all i am asking is that can u name some programs which can chat with ekiga thru lan? maybe something which i can have in windows?

[19:37] debaser: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick [19:37] acce245: vlc uses (as well as mplayer does) other applications to save/transcode/decode/encode files/streams etc... like mencoder, lame, theora etc...

I was wondering, is it possible to copy files (like exe programs that I already have inside ubuntu) to the new virtual box (windows) instead of redownloading them from the internet from inside windows again? [19:38] acce245: personally, i wouldn't use vlc for anything [19:38] HacKBoX: no [19:38] Y-Town: are you requiring a password to write files or is it open? [19:38] perJ: I really need help on making my 2G pendrive bootable... [19:38] miranda_psi: no [19:38] tgpraveen: i don't know. i guess they have a list on the ekiga homepage. and there's even a windows version of ot [19:38] DIFH-iceroot: ok [19:38] miranda_psi: its my small home trusted network and I want to keep it simple so anyone can read write or delete with no problems [19:38] acce245: why not mplayer, if it can do just fine? [19:38] raylu: vlc is the one I am most familiar with, and the one that gives me the least problems. [19:39] Debaser: What is the problem? [19:39] debaser: you probably want to make your machine boot from usb ? - look into BIOS - boot options [19:39] issa: yes, you can share folders which will appear as network share within windoze [19:39] allo [19:39] issa: i believe the free version of virtualbox doesn't allow you to share files. see the vbox website [19:39] sundec: I prefer the control I can have with vlc. [19:39] ist einer hiet? [19:39] Is there a way to transfer files here? [19:39] acce245: in the short run, maybe. but vlc uses its own decoders [19:39] ist hier ein deutscher?

[19:40] your kidding right? vlc can display video as ASCII! [19:40] perJ: it works with the 64 MB pendrive but not with the 2G pendrive, its not computer config, its about the 2G pendrive, is it possible that I pendrive simply can't be made bootable? [19:40] raylu weißt du wie man java insterliert [19:40] raylu: hmmm, so ubuntu actually does not have real access to vbox files? I guess the only solution is to burn a CD of whatever I want to copy and use the CD from windows, will that work? [19:40] raylu, sundec: and mplayer takes longer to startup. [19:40] sudobash: mplayer also, its just aalib [19:40] isnt vlc qt4 now?

I've found a bunch of tutorials on how to capture the keys using xev and getscancodes and such, but each of these programs seems to be having a hard time determining what key is being pressed. I think it knows SOMETHING is being pressed because I ocassionally get something like: "KeymapNotify event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x0," Does anybody here ... [19:59] josher4: dont know what you mean [19:59] ... have any suggestions for me?

[20:05] yes [20:05] SuNDeC, ok, thanks [20:05] that is switchable from within users and groups right? === QaDeS is now known as QaDeS|essen [20:05] grandmaneedshelp: have a look at sabayon [20:05] grandmaneedshelp: exactly. just keep an account with admin group [20:06] grandmaneedshelp: its made to lock down an user environment [20:06] Ok, I did sudo apt-get install cario-dock. It gives me something about it needing 1128kB for archives and after that needing 9744 of additional disk space needing to be used. Y/n? [20:06] grandmaneedshelp: Just go to System->Administration->Users & Groups [20:06] hey all [20:06] josher4: Y [20:06] hspaans: I was told about sabayon yesterday, but had to go to bed, it being pretty late at that time. [20:06] Haha, I was having trouble with my Multimedia Keys not being detected. Strange thing, though. I held down shift and pressed them and they were magically detected. Huh? [20:06] Does anyone know why this might be happening? http://i42.tinypic.com/33xwuue.jpg http://i43.tinypic.com/2i20ykn.jpg It's showing 3 instances of a battery, as well as 3 wireless adapters.

[20:07] josher4: find what? [20:07] So I should just click the shield icon (make everything mandatory) ? [20:07] miranda_psi: Thanks so much... That fixed it.. thank you [20:07] SuNDeC: How do I start it? [20:07] grandmaneedshelp: Yes [20:07] * savid holds his head in shame while earthmeLon laughs at his expense [20:07] Y-Town: np - enjoy :) [20:08] Gletob -> looks okay, now if you only can follow my directions... sudo ifdown eth0; sudo ifup eth0 [20:08] josher4: alt-f2, then type: cairo-dock [20:08] HacKBoX: and this will also lock the panels, so she doesn't accidentally delete it/move stuff around? [20:09] Hi guys, I'm trying to reset my graphics display settings, have typed in "dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" which was supposed to give me a series of questions to answer, but instead it says: conflicting actions -e (--control) and -r (--remove) Any ideas? :S [20:09] savid: i also sometimes get triple interfaces... do you know what's up? [20:09] grandmaneedshelp: It will make it so she can't access system wide setting; She may still have access to user preferences [20:09] SuNDeC: Says it can't find file:///home/josher4/cario-dock [20:09] grandmaneedshelp -> look into a kioks setup a lot more work for you, but its setup without user able to change much [20:09] hey all, im using the gnome CPU Freq Scaling Monitor. It shows below 599Mhz but i set the lowest freq allowed to 799Mhz.. is there a way to hide the unusable? [20:09] bartmon, no idea. that's what I'm trying to figure out :-P [20:10] josher4: cairo, not cario [20:10] hi.. anyone give me link for knowing how to install .tar.bz files ... [20:10] n8tuser2: okay it said ifdown: interface eth0 not configured and ifup said Ignoring unknow interfacew eth0=eth0 [20:10] n8tuser2: you mean kiosk setup? [20:10] lunanlad: i think if you boot into single user mode (recovery) it offers an option to fix x11 , alternatively you can try moving the xorg.conf away [20:10] why isnt pidgin 253 in the repos [20:10] Gletob: can i see the output of ifconfig command [20:10] lunanlad: provided you run a current version of ubuntu that is [20:10] chandru: yes, don't. see if there is a package first [20:10] grandmaneedshelp -> yes [20:10] SuNDeC: Ah.. lol. Got it [20:11] mgolisch, how do i move it away? and to where? [20:11] yes, it's up to date [20:11] Gletob -> try again with posting contents of ifconfig and sudo lshw -C network [20:11] Dexi: kopete is better.. unless you wanna compile plidgin from source, which is simple enough... [20:11] my wife changed the screen resolution settings, and not the monitor goes "video mode not supported" after boot up... we get boot up text, the beige screen with teh tribalmusic, then monitor loses it, and I can;t get it back [20:11] deany: eeewwww i hate kopete [20:11] I have problems with my wired connection on my Dell Inspiron 1545. Under Vista, everything seems to work nicely. In Ubuntu (8.10) I can surf and limitedly use the connection (IRC works, for example), but advanced/interactive webpages don't work correctly. For example, gmail/facebook disconnect, I can't login correctly to bank accounts or post messages to forums. This issue is reproducible in Epiphany, hence this is not a firefox problem. My [20:11] ISP claims that if things work in Vista they should work the same in Ubuntu. I do not think this is a DNS problem, since the problematic sites does load. Any idea what can I do to further diagnose the problem/solve it? [20:12] I just got kubuntu with kde4, is there a way to get the desktop to behave like a desktop, outside of plasma? [20:12] deany it is simple but then i feel like i have 2 pidgins installed [20:12] lunanlad: sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.bak or something [20:12] not if you remove one first :) [20:12] ;) [20:12] lunalan [20:12] good plan [20:12] lunanlad: you might be able to use xrandr from a text console to switch resolution [20:12] Accidus: maybe its an ipv6 think [20:12] why not make a deb from it to make things easier to uninstall [20:12] we tried that ear;lier, mgolisch, it did not work... jack_Sparrow was helping me earlier on, with no success [20:12] but will all the plugins wirk right? [20:12] in case. [20:13] Accidus: in that, you need to blacklist the ipv6 module or something [20:13] lunanlad: Try changing to a console with Ctrl+Alt+F1 [20:13] sure.. [20:13] hspaans: i am new to ubuntu.. so only want to know how to install files.. so only give link for installing tar.bz files [20:13] what is xrandr, zsquare? [20:13] Hey, i dont suppose there is anyway that you can share a whole drive/partition in Ubuntu 8.10? [20:13] on a network [20:13] chandru: check add/remove applications first [20:13] yes, ctrl+alt+f1 gets me to a terminal [20:13] lunanlad: it's a command line tool to switch X resolution [20:13] lunanlad: its used to change the resolution of a running x11 session [20:13] hey guys [20:14] try something like DISPLAY=:0.0 xrandr and see if it displays any possible resoltuions [20:14] chandru: what is the application you try to install? because tar.bz2 is mostly compile work you don't want [20:14] how do I run this xrandr? [20:14] chandru: That is probably source code. You need to extract it, then configure it and then compile it. There should be a README file in that archive. [20:14] Is someone here have the same issue ? My CPU Cooler dont work :x [20:14] Accidus -> how is your ubuntu connected to the ISP? can you elaborate on the network layout? [20:14] lunanlad: an alternative is, if you have desktop sharing enables use an other PC and a VNC viewer. (x11vnc can also be used to share the desktop if you haven't activated it) [20:14] lunanlad -> man xrandr and hopefully your video driver supports it [20:15] hspaans: that i know.. i want how to make.configure one software package.. i want to learn it.. [20:15] temppy: I think I tried that. But the ipv6 is only related to DNS, isn't it? And I can surf to most sites. [20:15] lunanlad: Well from that terminal you should be able to change resolutions in a text configuration file. It's called xorg.conf and it's placed in /etc/X11 [20:15] I did not enable desktop sharing on the other manchine, this laptop is on ubuntu too... is there a way I can force desktop sharing from this machine? [20:15] Can anyone help please? I'm having trouble with Network Manager. It used to work, but this morning when I boot up, it doesn't connect to anything and says "NetworkManger is not running" [20:15] chandru: then is #ubuntu-offtopic the place for you [20:15] chandru -> then google for what an archiving tool is, like tar, and compression like bzip [20:16] n8tuser2: Well, there is an adapter on the way, but the problem persists even when it is removed. Basically I have a LAN socket in my (dorm) room and I connect my machine to that socket via an ethernet cable. [20:16] I accidentally hit cntr+alt+f1 instead of cntr+alt+1 how can i escape back to GUI ? [20:16] rebel: ctrl-alt-f7 [20:16] bartmon: give link that should explain step by step how to make into .deb file [20:16] rebel alt+F7 or F5 or F9 :p [20:16] flannel, thank you [20:16] n8tuser2 & SuNDeC: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d59bdee65 [20:16] krlhc81: first try reinstalling it [20:16] Accidus -> what adapter are you referring to? what have you been told is available on that socket in your dorm room? [20:17] zsquareplusc, thank you too :) [20:17] lunanlad: So first log in into that terminal and then type "sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf". Then you should search for the resolution settings (just look for the numbers that are usual suspect for resolutions) and change the one that's too big to the native resolution of your screen. [20:18] Gletob -> you seem not be following my directions to you, do it again please post results of ifconfig and sudo lshw -C network dont miss the sudo okay? [20:18] chandru: http://www.google.com/linux?hl=sl&q=how+to+make+deb+package+from+source+code+ubuntu [20:18] n8tuser2: is there any other way to lock down the panels? [20:18] will give it a try, thanks... on the remote desktop thing... I never set up a connection between this laptop and the PC in question before, is there a way I can force that to happen now, only having acces to this laptop, and command line only on other machine? [20:18] n8tuser2: I have a VoIP adapter. But, as I said, the problem persists even without it. [20:18] !libgtkglext1 [20:18] Sorry, I don't know anything about libgtkglext1 [20:18] n8tuser2: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d59bdee65 [20:18] grandmaneedshelp -> look into kiosk setup, its pretty locked down.. [20:19] another one question friends... can any one tell how to optimize settings in ubuntu to increase download speeds.. [20:19] Gletob: print the output of $ cat /etc/network/interfaces [20:19] libgtkglext1 dependency is not satisfiable [20:19] When i try to open nautilus either via clicking or running in console it doesnt open, clicking nothing happens, and running "nautilus" in console just hangs? [20:19] help! [20:19] lunanlad: that should be possible, i think when you know the right gnome registry key [20:19] bartmon: thank u [20:19] n8tuser2: couldn't find anything on google, was searching xubuntu OR xfce kiosk etc. [20:19] Gletob -> once more, you are not following my directions, you did not do sudo lshw -C network [20:19] 中文 [20:19] !cn [20:19] For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [20:19] 8.10 - fresh install with updates... [20:19] !jp [20:19] 日本語の場合は #ubuntu-jp または #kubuntu-jp を参照して下さい [20:20] n8tuser2: yes I did it was from a root shell I added the #lshw and #ifconfig comments === MATAH is now known as matan [20:20] Accidus -> what were you told about that socket port in your dorm room? what services is available on it? plugging it to an cat5 looking port does not guarantee you connectivity, lest you know what is in that port [20:20] lunanlad: Yes, you can lots of stuff from the terminal. Try installing a VNC server and a SSH server from within the terminal. SSH is for remote console, VNC is for remote graphical desktop. There are also other solution like FreeNX but I use VNC. [20:20] @rgnr Install it. [20:21] bartmon, is there a guide on how to do that somewhere? [20:21] nnull: tried killing all running nautilus processes? like killall -9 nautilus ? [20:21] n8tuser2: I'm a bit green in that respect, so I didn't quite understand what you said. [20:21] feelshift: still not satisfiable [20:21] SuNDeC: it lists the loopbacks: auto lo & iface lo inet loopback === matan is now known as MATAH [20:21] n8tuser2: When I initially plugged my machine, I had to login to the ISP's service. [20:21] Gletob -> from line 36 on is not the results of lshw -C network, check again [20:21] Is there a good program for clearing out duplicate photo's? [20:21] mgolisch, yea trying that currently. [20:21] n8tuser2: After that it should be a "normal" connection, no restrictions about it. [20:22] lunanlad: Yes, try searching the ubuntu wiki, also: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX [20:22] @rgnr How did you installed it? Compile or deb? [20:22] Accidus -> ask your dorm manager, and let them tell you what services is available on that socket you plugged into [20:22] feelshift: synaptic [20:22] I keep getting a essage that the power management is not properly installed how can i fix it? === MATAH is now known as matan [20:23] thanks bartmon, I like the look of that page... off to eat, then I'll have a stab at it... thanks again [20:23] mgolisch, tried that, starts opening and doesnt.. [20:23] mgolisch, never appears in top [20:23] eugman: fdupes, or if you also want to find images which are similar, findimagedupes [20:23] hi ppl, i get a "Cannot get a suitable visual" when using gnubik. Is there a way to get more information about the error ? [20:23] lunanlad: This is all for working with the terminal. If you have a graphical desktop running you can just use the GUI menus ... [20:23] need help with opengl render errors on intel 945 graphics chipset (but also same problem with 915) [20:23] Accidus -> perhaps we can poke around, post the results of ifconfig; route -n; cat /etc/resolv.conf ; sudo iptables -vL [20:23] Gletob: ok, you add 2 lines "auto eth0 & iface eth0 inet dhcp" (& means new line), then do the command $ dhclient eth0 [20:23] hey guys how do you set something to launch on startup? [20:23] n8tuser2: Just a sec. [20:24] I have GUI on this ubuntu laptop, but only command line on the knackered machine [20:24] jtaji: thanks, is fdupes by chance related to f-spot? [20:24] I'll pop back in if I get no joy with that, thanks [20:24] hi I keep getting a message that the power management is not properly installed how can i fix it? [20:24] SuNDeC: add two lines to what [20:24] eugman: no, just a small program http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/fdupes [20:24] Pirate_Hunter -> look in your bios perhaps? see if its enabled [20:25] dexi: add it to sessions [20:25] Dexi: System -> Preferences -> Sessions [20:25] Gletob: into the file /etc/network/interfaces [20:25] !pastebin [20:25] n8tuser2: nah its nto to do with the bios i think but everything works except that message at login in that says the powermanagement is not properly installed [20:25] !paste [20:25] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

[20:35] mgolisch: thank you [20:35] Dexi, usually you would be looking for .bin .sh .out or something like that [20:35] usser, ok [20:36] Pirate_Hunter: "check disk space inside folders" what' that? [20:36] dexi: open a terminal and type the programs's name and if it starts add just the name in Sessions [20:36] dexi, there really isnt one but on ubuntu (a debian based distro) .deb is the standard install package. im not sure what exactly your looking for but it would be a good idea to look in your add/remove or your apt-cache for available applications [20:36] SuNDeC: probably check the space all files in the folder take on the filesystem [20:36] SuNDeC: you need to read between the lines.. [20:36] :) === qb|away is now known as qbmaniac [20:37] SuNDeC: Thank you so much for your help but it turns out a setting in windows was messing me up in ubuntu aparantly windows would disable the card at shutdown and not reenable until next windows boot.

[20:58] software for lexmark x4850 wifi? [20:59] I removed myself from the list of admins, how can I undo this? [20:59] grandmaneedshelp: reboot and select recovery mode in the grub boot menu [20:59] zsquareplusc: okay, then what? [20:59] Dexi: probably, but once you remove the system one theres nothing much left it could mixup stuff with [20:59] Accidus -> okay, now what was the issue? [20:59] grandmaneedshelp: then you can do adduser admin in a root shell [21:00] n8tuser2: I'll just reask the question, since it accumulated all the relevant info: [21:00] mgolisch, so remove the system one, and it doesnt matter where i compile?

My [21:00] zsquareplusc: thx. I will try that [21:00] ISP claims that if things work in Vista they should work the same in Ubuntu. I do not think this is a DNS problem, since the problematic sites does load. Any idea what can I do to further diagnose the problem/solve it? [21:01] Dexi: but be carefull, i think pidgin is part of the ubuntu-desktop metapackage, it might remove a bunch of crap if you just ripout pidgin [21:01] Accidus -> do you have both nics eth0 and eth1 active at same time and connected ? [21:01] mgolisch, "add or remove" and remove pidgin? [21:01] the audio on my ubuntu is working fine except for orca... [21:02] Hmm... Both are active, but only one of them is connected.

[21:15] cNOOB [21:15] #ubuntu-fr [21:15] look in the install.sh it probably tries to install a version of the package not present in this version of ubuntu @ cNOOB [21:15] Accidus -> you dont seem to have a good install, try a fresh install of ubuntu [21:16] zsquareplusc: Yes, I tried different browsers (epiphany) [21:16] cNoob, you can't open that *.sh [21:16] you have to execute it [21:16] it's a script [21:16] n8tuser2: It's a fresh install! I installed it 2 weeks ago... [21:16] hello there! Is there porhaps a sidebar for ubuntu? [21:16] Accidus -> you dont seem to have a good install, try a fresh install of ubuntu [21:16] Can someone please help me with restoring my desktop. I selected a new icon theme inside User Interface in the Xfce Settings Manager and all icons on the desktop dissapeared [21:16] Accidus -> a completed one, [21:16] ...so how does ubuntu run with 64MB ram? is it usable? [21:16] Hm..will okay. I will look around. Thanks for the help I will be back. :D [21:17] n8tuser2: What do you mean by complete? [21:17] edman007: maybe a shell only system [21:17] oh... xfce had list the ability to control the desktop, nevermind [21:17] :( [21:17] Accidus -> you dont seem to have a good install, try a fresh install of ubuntu <-- [21:17] edman007: i think you wont be happy with a desktop there. a server install (text mode) will run [21:17] zsquareplusc, ehh...i want to try and put mythtv on it... [21:17] bobbie4: you can disable the pulseaudio redirection , alsamixer should display the correct controls then, if you dont want to use pulseaudio that is [21:17] do you think it can run it? [21:18] edman007: 64mb of ram is not enough even for mythtv I believe [21:18] :( [21:18] n8tuser2: I've read that already. But what do you mean? Redownload the ISO? Just reinstall from the disk I have? To erase all relevant partitions, or can I keep my /home partition? [21:18] How do I tell DKMS in Ubuntu to rebuild all the kernel modules? [21:18] nobody here as experience with orca? [21:18] Accidus -> redo an a fresh install [21:18] There was a security update that broke the ABI and I just reverted to the previous kernel [21:18] mgolisch: okay, I'm a noob, what is pulseaudio redirection and how do I disable it? [21:18] hello! is it possible, to get a sidebar for ubuntu? Where i could put some gadgets?? [21:18] Accidus -> redo a fresh install of ubuntu [21:19] Can someone help me with a problem stemming from the xserver updates http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1029607 [21:19] DaveEngland: yes [21:19] cNOOB, vinibill, fyi you certainly can execute a shell script with 'sh file.sh' instead of making it executable, not sure what your problem is though cNOOB [21:19] edman007: http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-3.html#ss3.1 they recommend 256 [21:19] ethana2, could you tell me, where could i get it? [21:19] lame... [21:19] Accidus -> do you have anything important need saving in /home/ ? [21:19] jtaji: My problem is I am a noob. =[ [21:19] DaveEngland: do you want to use google gadgets? [21:19] cNOOB: probably you have mispelled the file/directory [21:19] its hard finding XBMC binaries...and i don't think it does commercial skipping :( [21:19] audacity plays an mp3, the meter says that ther is sound but I hear nothing [21:19] bobbie4: pulseaudio is a soundserver which acts on top of alsa, its thought to upmix sound from different sources (local and remote) applications into one stream for the soundcard to handle, like most cards dont support hardwaremixing [21:20] ethana2, yes :D Gmail and that stuff... [21:20] n8tuser2: Probably not. [21:20] http://code.google.com/p/google-gadgets-for-linux/ [21:20] jtaji: I already checked that. According to my calculations I will have the problem fixed in 10 mins. Hopefully. [21:20] Accidus -> then redo a fresh install of ubuntu [21:20] cNOOB: tab autocompletion comes in handy here, hit tab to have the shell autocomplete directory and file names [21:20] whast the code to install compiz manager [21:20] ? [21:20] bobbie4: in all newer ubuntu version they redirect all clients that try to access the soundcard to that said pulseaudio server, so that enven programs that dont know how to interface with pulseaduio can use it [21:20] n8tuser2: What about the other questions? Redownload the ISO [21:20] ? [21:20] !pulseaudio [21:20] PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions [21:21] #ubuntu-fr [21:21] Can someone help me with a problem stemming from the xserver updates http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1029607 [21:21] jtaji: I have no clue what you just said. [21:21] ethana2, could you tell me, what do i need to have for these gadgets pls? [21:21] do i have to install new fonts or i just have to put them all in /etc/fonts [21:21] bobbie4: disabling that is a simple as issuing the command : asoundconf unset-pulseaudio [21:21] bobbie4: after that alsamixer should show the real alsa sound cards [21:21] !ccsm > youknowme [21:21] youknowme, please see my private message [21:22] Accidus -> you can too if you wish, but it seems okay if you had used it to install the current one [21:22] DaveEngland: install google gadgets from here: http://www.getdeb.net/app/Google+Gadgets [21:22] after that it should be the same as on Windows [21:22] I have Ubuntu 8.04 installed but troubles with inet and sound. I want to re-install 8.04 and have backed up /home. May I now safely overwrite the Ubuntu partition from the live 8.04 cd?

[21:22] Bob_Dole, lots of people hate ubuntu, but it seems so much easier to me, at least with intrepid [21:22] Bob_Dole: Ubuntu just has the highest balance of love over hate for me [21:22] !ot > Bob_Dole [21:22] Bob_Dole, please see my private message [21:23] cNOOB: e.g. type sudo sh ~Desktop/magic, and the will finish the name of the magicseteditor directory [21:23] I usually use Fedora or OS X :x [21:23] haha that was funny we all just said stuff to him at once [21:23] i made a custom command in terminal, but i don't remember where it's defined. what's the file htat lists aliases?

When it trys to date the BIOS using acpi=force my screen turns yellow that black and it dies. Any ideas? [21:23] Oh okay. I didn't know that trick. [21:24] getxsick: there is wine, but the low level access to the BIOS might be a problem there [21:24] n8tuser2: Just a second. It's possible that my binaries are good but that something went wrong during the installations? [21:24] jtaji: It says I need to download some stuff. So going to try that now. Thanks for the help. [21:24] cNOOB: if you don't get anything hit twice in case there are multiple matches [21:24] Accidus -> it is possible [21:24] zsquareplusc: at least i get backtrace under wine so doesn't work this way [21:24] `Chris: yeah it works :D [21:24] <`Chris> Pirate_Hunter: Ok cool, what language was it? [21:25] getxsick: did you check the wine docs? there are a lot of tweaks. [21:25] I got a problem-I am trying to install xubuntu via the alt. CD.

[21:30] how can i check which WM(s) I have installed? [21:31] `Chris: nah not really even knowing i aint keeping this machine but than i never used it anyway so its all good [21:31] Pirate_Hunter: when you first log in theres a "Sessions" menu click on that it should show you a list of all the WM's you have installed [21:31] FYI. to get blender to load in a Ubuntu window, I had to use the "-p" switch with the "-w" switch as in "-p 1 1 1024 768" [21:32] has anyone tried to use ati proprietary drivers and the ati open source drivers at the same time? [21:32] dexi: sudo apt-get build-dep [21:32] eseven73: i know that way but isnt there another way wihtout login out? [21:32] Dexi: yeah use apt-get build-depend packagename, it should install all buildtime depencies for the given package, provided the software you want to install is in the ubuntu repository, but that will probably bring the ubuntu pidgin version back in [21:32] :) [21:32] ups [21:32] build-dep [21:32] :) [21:32] mgolisch: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:32] so build-dep musictracker ? [21:32] or build-dep pcre [21:32] Pirate_Hunter: hmmm maybe dpkg -l [21:33] musictrackers working ;) ill assume its that [21:33] dexi: try them both [21:34] anyone using dual ati video cards, with propriety and open source drivers?

So, whats the problem?? [21:35] pirate_hunter: right-click on the menu > edit menu [21:35] Pirate_Hunter: theres a menu editor, in ubuntu atleast if you rightclick the menu [21:35] <`Chris> Pirate_Hunter: Applications > Settings > Menu Editor [21:35] Pirate_Hunter: right click on Applications, click edit menus... uncheck anything you don't want [21:35] Pirate_Hunter; right click applications then edit menu.. uncheck the items you don't shown [21:35] lol [21:35] :) [21:35] everyone knows that one :p [21:36] but iam quite sure thats for the current user only, new users will still see the hiden entries [21:36] edcrfv: explain "doesnt install" [21:36] feelshift, mgolisch, bastid_raZor, jtaji: thanx but im using xubuntu on my other machine [21:36] wait [21:36] <`Chris> Pirate_Hunter: Actually no my option won't work either [21:37] hi [21:37] *sigh* [21:37] Pirate_Hunter: you definitely have to qualify yourself in here if you are not using gnome ;) [21:37] i have a challenge with my logitech webcam [21:37] it was working on ubuntu 8.04,and now i have ubuntu 8.10, it does not work, how can i do to make it work, no image with amsn, it say something about dep/dev,anyone?? === richard is now known as Guest9194 [21:37] is there a command to start an app with transset .5 ?

[21:47] jtaji: It now says this: http://rafb.net/p/XGjWDP82.html [21:48] i have one more question.. how could i copy a file in the usr/share folder? i know how to copy it over the terminal, but isnt there another way too? [21:48] whats the name of that graphical file size viewer? [21:48] Geier: How can i see that, isn't there an easy way in ubuntu? I dosn't normally use ubuntu [21:48] Slart: ok, read different guides earlier in the link zsquareplusc sent me... [21:48] hmm let me see [21:48] DaveEngland: what file do you want to copy? [21:48] DaveEngland: Copy a file from where to where? [21:48] anybody use #! for an os ? [21:48] Geier: I'm just helping a friend [21:48] hey all I'm having TONS of problems with my system keeping the correct time. I set it proper less than 2 hours ago and its already jumped ahead almost 30 minutes. Laptop is less than 1 year old, anyone have any ideas? [21:49] Copy a file from the desktop to the usr/share folder :( [21:49] :) [21:49] Slart: auto voodoo stuff makes me nervous... but the utility seems appreciated by others... [21:49] soren_schantz, lspci | grep vga [21:49] Ahh, that's better. [21:49] how do i change my login name [21:49] DaveEngland: why would you want to do that? [21:49] NorthByNorthWest: =) give it a try.. worst case you have to do it manually .. [21:49] i want to install a google gadget :D I need to copy it to the google-gadget folder.. right? [21:49] Slart: an ICHX chip? how would I know? [21:49] soren_schantz, sorry it's lspci | grep VGA [21:49] DaveEngland: the only way is sudo cp [21:49] DaveEngland: cp Desktop/filename /share/ [21:49] DaveEngland: or sudo nautilus --no-desktop [21:50] !gksu | wj32 [21:50] wj32, please see my private message [21:50] mkquist: it's a very common chip.. ICH7, ICH8, ICH9 etc.. I think most of them has this "low volume" problem.. [21:50] can someone help me install the driver for my logitech webcam, i think i need the gspca5xx [21:50] wj32, thank you! [21:50] If I started out with Kubuntu, then installed ubuntu-desktop, if I pick gnome as my default desktop, will it stll start with the kubuntu startup screen? [21:50] usr13, thx i know that :D [21:50] Slart: will do... just wish that Valve will release source to linux soon! :) [21:50] 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) [21:50] Geier: [21:50] mkquist: you can look at your motherboard specifications.. see what it says there [21:50] (and I need my BF2142-jolts) [21:50] Valve source would be awesome. [21:50] i am using intrepid [21:50] ? [21:50] mib_a8apnu: maybe you want gdmap? [21:50] pkodon: Yes [21:51] NorthByNorthWest: yea..that would have been a nice christmas present indeed [21:51] i think ubuntu-desktop actualy changes the usplash theme [21:51] Geier: It's Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) [21:51] pkodon: Unless when you installed Gnome you changed the login manager to GDM [21:51] no image with amsn, it say something about dep/dev [21:51] atleast i got the xubuntu one after installing the coresponding metapackage [21:51] guys im trying to view AVI files with a ATI card, the video is all flickering? [21:52] Slart: amen to that! well... here goes nothing... keep your fingers crossed... and thanks for the advice Slart and zsquareplusc! [21:52] Guest9194: it says something isnt helpfull [21:52] pkodon: You can only run one login manager - Kubuntu uses KDM by default and Ubuntu uses GDM [21:52] Help! I've been trying to copy a directory to a portable hard drive and it doesn't want to work.Graphically it fails, and when I try to sudo cp -r source dest I get a list of "cannot create ____ : Input/output error" errors [21:52] pyrotix: what filesystem is it === NetEcho__ is now known as NetEcho [21:52] soren_schantz, I don't really know about Intel Graphics, do you have any drivers installed? [21:52] nnull: disable compiz? does that help? [21:52] r [21:52] how can i install a google gadget, that i download from the google-gadgets webpage? [21:52] yes sorry the camera otion give me [21:52] v4l:qcm usb camera [21:52] i am trying to copy all files that start with a period by doing cp -r /home/.* but it copies everything in my home directory [21:52] mgolisch, ill try that [21:52] Geier: Only what ubuntu have installed native [21:52] pyrotix: sounds like a bad device or bad cable [21:52] no other option [21:52] DaveEngland: Is it .deb ? [21:53] usr13, no, it is a .gg file :) [21:53] mattbd: No, just ubuntu-desktop. I have a menu on the login screen where I can pick a gnome session, but it's still the KDM login screen. [21:53] heirrook: ah yes, you should read the unix haters handbook. anyway, try using cp -r "/home."* [21:53] Geier: But it looks like it's some problem with the graphics [21:53] heirrook: oh wait that doesn't work [21:53] Unix haters handbook? There is such a thing? [21:53] heirrook: thats because the actual directory is also known as '.' [21:53] yes [21:54] mgolisch, yep that worked thanks [21:54] google it [21:54] it's quite amusing [21:54] i think on intrepid 8.10 i need to install the gspca5xx driver [21:54] can you help me [21:54] Gnea: if it is a bad device how do I get the computer to copy all of the readab;e files over? [21:54] soren_schantz, what says glxinfo | grep rendering [21:54] DaveEngland: I don't think you were actually suppposed to just download it to the HD. [21:54] well can someone help heirrook with his problem of not being able to copy directories starting with '.'? [21:54] DaveEngland: Go back to the site you downloaded it from and look for the proper way to install. [21:55] pkodon: OK, so you have both the Ubuntu and Kubuntu desktops installed but want to change your login manager? [21:55] heinrich_: find /home -name "\.[A-Za-z0-9]*" -exec cp -a {} /destination/directory \; [21:55] wj32: Same way as any other. [21:55] Gnea: because it is the device I'm running my computer off of and has all my system files. It seems for the most part to be working... unless the problem is with the portable hard drive [21:55] Geier: Direct rendering: Yes [21:55] that's good [21:55] hello [21:55] wj32: Names that start 2with . are just hidden files or directories. [21:55] mattbd: Well, as long as the login manager doesn't have any affect on the session, I guess it doesn't matter. [21:56] heirrook: listen what Gnea said to heinrich_ [21:56] Gnea: how do I check the integrity of the portable hard drive? [21:56] dar! ardour does not want to open an mp3 for editing and audacity doesn't work with pulse audio!!!! [21:56] soren_schantz, so there are no problems with the graphic card [21:56] but .* probably will copy all stuff ./ onwards [21:56] usr13: yes but when he tried to copy all dirs starting with '.' he copied all the files [21:56] is there a way that I can get ubuntu (or rather xubuntu) to not only auto update the system, but also auto install them, without any user intervention and without any notifications? [21:56] pyrotix: check your cable, perhaps it's going bad - got a spare? [21:56] mgolish, can you help me make the logiteck webcam work?? [21:56] I would like to simply edit and mp3 :( [21:56] soren_schantz, does Googleearth give out any errors when you start it in the console? [21:57] grandmaneedshelp: System > Administration > Software Sources [21:57] pkodon: It doesn't really have any effect. You could uninstall kdm and install gdm instead if you wanted to, but there's little point really. [21:57] mattbd: I'm thinking of installing the xubuntu-desktop package as well, so I can compare. [21:57] wj32: What exactly are you trying to do? [21:57] heirrook: yeah, sorry, that was for you: find /home -name "\.[A-Za-z0-9]*" -exec cp -a {} /destination/directory \; [21:57] grandmaneedshelp: in Updates, Automatic updates, select "Install security updates without confirmation" [21:57] heinrich_: sorry about that, wrong tab completion :) [21:57] usr13: it's not me, it's heirrook [21:57] Geier: No, not at all, the only problem is that i won't drawe the earth or map properly. So he can't use it at all [21:58] thank you wj32, gnubert, and especially Gnea! [21:58] soren_schantz, ok [21:58] how exactly is the map drawn [21:58] pkodon: If you need to get back to pure Ubuntu, this link should help - http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome [21:58] screenshot? [21:58] wj32: thank you very much. I am setting up a system for my eighty year old grandmother, and the less hassle the better :) [21:58] grandmaneedshelp: actually, that only automatically installs security updates [21:58] in amsn when i follow the wizzard for the cam [21:59] Geier: Do you want a screen shot? [21:59] grandmaneedshelp: so for updates to firefox, etc. it's still manual [21:59] it say could not find /dev/dep [21:59] wj32: what about application updates then? [21:59] soren_schantz, yes [21:59] Geier: 2 sek [21:59] Gnea: I can read files from the portable hard drive fine. I'd assume that means the cable is fine [21:59] upload it to imageshack or whatever [21:59] Guest9194: it's /dev/dsp isn't it? [21:59] How do I copy all the files from one folder (including all folders in that folder) into another folder with the terminal? [21:59] Hello. When I try to launch an XFCE session i receive errors as displayed at http://paste.ubuntu.com/99234/. I've tried resetting permissions on the /tmp and my home directory, and deleting .ICEauthority file. Anything else I should do? [21:59] grandmaneedshelp: nope [21:59] yes sorry [21:59] mattbd: The one thing I wonder about is, if I start a KDE session, and I have a game installed that uses another interface, do I need to log out of KDE and log into Gnome or XFCE in order to run that program without problems? [21:59] cNOOB: cp -r [dir] [dest] [22:00] grandmaneedshelp: you wont get many non security relevant updates anyway. [22:00] !ping [22:00] ping yourself ;-) really the diodes all down my left side are sore [22:00] pkodon: No, all the desktops work pretty well with each other [22:00] wj32: Thanks [22:00] so I'm trying to run the command "tar xzf drv.tar.gz" but it's telling me that it can't find the file. What am I doing wrong? [22:00] hi, i would like to run the ubuntu system that are installed on a partition using the virtual box on windows... is it possible? [22:01] yes it is /dev/dsp [22:01] how do you give yourself permanent permission to write in an external drive? [22:01] mattbd: Okay, that's good, since I'm currently logged into Gnome, and am running Konversation to connect to this server. [22:01] nob: i don't think VirtualBox can run VMs from a physical disk/partition [22:01] pkodon: However, if you install something for another desktop such as kdegames on Ubuntu, it may have a lot more dependencies than a native game so it takes up more space [22:01] nob: no idea, if virtualbox supports raw devices/physical disks [22:01] pyrotix: well, USB can be unstable at times, plus if it's operating in asyncronous mode, then data corruption can indeed occur. If you have the ability, you should look into internalizing the hard drive [22:01] nob: try VMware - it can d it [22:01] Geier: Now i it just froze, i had to force it to terminate [22:01] nob: but the ubuntu shouldnt have too much problems with that which couldnt be solved [22:01] hmm [22:01] Geier: Should i try to reinstall? [22:01] is there a effect in compiz when a window gets resized that replaces the boring blue square? [22:01] wj32: I was just inside the firefox update settings and now some of the areas have been greyed out. how can I get root permission inside the firefox settings? [22:01] nob: virtualbox doesn't support it [22:02] question: my compose key sequences (in particular space+d => delta) don't work (from neither xterm nor gedit). stracing an xterm shows that xterm (or xlib, on its behalf, probably) reads .XCompose. Also, GTK_IM_MODULE=xim. What gives? [22:02] ok, wj32... i will search it... t [22:02] that might be a good idea soren_schantz [22:02] ikyn_ do you have permissions to access the file? Try a chmod 777 drv.tar.gz. [22:02] tx all [22:02] soren_schantz, how did you install googleearth, anyway? [22:02] mattbd: I take it that you're talking about it taking up more space because you don't have KDE installed. [22:02] DrHalan: System > Preferences > CompizConfig Settings Manager [22:02] DrHalan: filter for "resize" [22:02] i can only hear through my left speaker on 8.10 [22:02] pkodon: Yes, Gnome and KDE use different widget toolkits so you have to have two installed to use applications from both desktops [22:03] How do I delete a folder and all the folders in that folder with the terminal? [22:03] speaker or headphones [22:03] still wont work [22:03] cNOOB: rm -r === benovic1 is now known as Benovic1 [22:03] Geier: sh the google installer [22:03] wj32: Thanks, again. [22:03] ::nods:: I figgured that would be the case. [22:03] wj32: awesome a stretch effect [22:03] zsquareplusc: I was just inside the firefox update settings and now some of the areas have been greyed out. how can I get root permission inside the firefox settings? [22:03] Geier: it's some sheel script i think [22:03] DrHalan: then in General, change Default Resize Mode to Normal [22:03] mattbd: Thanks. [22:03] wj32: thank you very muh :) [22:03] Gnea: I'm trying to transfer files on my internal hard drive to a different computer through the portable hard drive. The computer is refusing to transfer a directory to the portable harddrive... do you know a way I can check the portable hard drives integrity? [22:03] DrHalan: well you found it anyway :) [22:03] Hi, I have a _severe_ problem and need help: I inserted the WinXP CD (original, no SP) and followed setup, until I saw strange info about the harddisk space. So I broke up and rebooted, now the partition seems completly gone! [22:03] soren ok [22:03] wj32 yes it is /dev/dsp [22:04] soren_schantz, try the medibuntu package [22:04] grandmaneedshelp: firefox iteself is upgraded through the update manager, so the application specific update is disabled [22:04] SwitchMon44: That didn't do it - still says that it can't find the file [22:04] Guest9194: well i don't know what you were doing, i just made a correction :) [22:04] wj32 the normal is way too slow. I like the way it works in OSX where you have real realtime-resizing [22:04] pyrotix, try HD recovery tools [22:04] hey anyone know how to build a wireless driver, that could teach me how??? [22:04] ohh ok [22:04] zsquareplusc: thx... I will leave it be [22:04] DrHalan: yes that's the bad thing about compiz - resizing is so slow [22:04] I've downloaded PC-OS and Ultimate-Ubuntu, now I just need a DVD burner so I can burn them and try them. [22:05] Christian1: did you change something in the bios? like changed the sata controler mode or something? [22:05] pyrotix, windows deletes partition references when you delete them, but won't have had a chance to write over them yet [22:05] mgolisch: no [22:05] wj32 do you know if there are efforts on chaning that? [22:05] plodon put them on a jump drive [22:05] pkodon: you can try them in VirtualBox [22:05] Geier: And i just add that do sources.list? And apt-get update? [22:05] ikyn_ try tar -xzf [22:05] pkodon: I was just going to suggest Virtualbox too [22:05] mgolisch: I can boot from Ubuntu LiveCD, but gparted shows a complete emtpy disk [22:05] pyrotix, so don't use the drive until you have your data back ;) [22:05] soren_schantz, do you have intrepid? [22:05] SwitchMon44: I'm an idiot. I figured out what I did wrong - thanks though! [22:05] DrHalan: not really [22:06] DrHalan: Compiz is pretty much dead anyway. There's Compiz++ [22:06] johninlex: I don't have one of those, and what is Virtualbox? Would that require a lot of memory? === nob is now known as submarcos [22:06] cNOOB: you might want to read something: Rute User's Tutorial and Exposition http://rute.2038bug.com/index.html.gz [22:06] Christian1: but the disks geometry/sizes are reported correctly? [22:06] pkodon: Virtualbox is virtualisation software [22:06] wj32: oh? new version? or a complete rewrite? [22:06] mgolisch: I don't know, what to do? [22:06] When I try to launch an XFCE session i receive errors as displayed at http://paste.ubuntu.com/99234/. I've tried resetting permissions on the /tmp and my home directory, and deleting .ICEauthority file. Anything else I should do? [22:06] !virtualbox | pkodon [22:06] pkodon: virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from !Gutsy as 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [22:06] Slart: well it's a rewrite in C++. you can check at phoronix [22:06] Christian1: does gparted show the right size for the disk? [22:06] pkodon: It lets you run an OS in a virtual machine, and is very easy to use [22:06] mgolsich: yes [22:07] pyrotix, sorry by that i mean, when you press the D button and it says press "L" or somthing [22:07] in amsn when i follow the wizzard for the cam and it say couldn't find /dev/dsp [22:07] guntbert: Okay, thanks! [22:07] pkodon: Or you could install to a flash drive using UNetBootin [22:07] wj32: ah.. thanks.. sounds interesting [22:07] Christian1: do you have something to dump a complete image of the disk to? if not your best bet would be runing testdisk and see if it can resconstruct the partitiontable [22:07] HomingHamster: are you trying to recover partitions or something? [22:07] mgolisch: okay, I'll try that [22:07] mattbd: Hmm, well, again, I don't have any flash drives, ATM. [22:08] Christian1: it can be installed on the livecd if you have internet, maybe its allready preinstalled, no idea [22:08] HomingHamster I think you are trying to help Christian1 not me. [22:08] pkodon: Ah well, Virtualbox is the way to go as long as you have plenty of memory [22:08] pyrotix, sorry [22:08] wj32: wow that sounds pretty neat. Are there repositories for it or so? [22:08] pyrotix, yes i am [22:08] DrHalan: no, it's VERY new [22:08] what do you guys think about using the install Ubuntu inside XP feature? [22:08] :) [22:09] can i somehow do multiple pointer mappings with xmodmap? something like xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2/10 3 4 5 6 7 8 9" ? [22:09] Christian1, you probably want to read what HomeHamster has been saying :) [22:09] Mallen_: wubi? for testdriving thats ok for sure [22:09] Mallen_, it's quite ok [22:09] have a newbie question on getting 8.10 to run on an everex stepnote NC1502. [22:09] i used it on my age-old laptop [22:09] ebaby: ask your question [22:09] Mallen_: but i wouldnt recommend it for anything else [22:09] mattbd: I may invest in some, though, since my brother-in-law and I have a computer business, and I'm learning Linux so we can work on Linux machines. Having different Linux distros on Jump Drives sounds like a good way to install them on customer's computers. [22:09] yea i have a ubuntu machine [22:09] yo yo y [22:10] my xp machine is for gaming i was curious [22:10] there seems to be a problem getting the graphics to load. Used the 8.10 live CD had to ask it to run in safe graphics mode [22:10] ebaby: what graphics card [22:10] ebaby: (please not intel) [22:10] anybody got the ar5007eg? [22:10] <[TiZ]> Hi. I'm shrinking a 64GB fat32 partition on my brother's computer to 52GB so I can install ubuntu on it. How long should I expect it to take? I'm using GParted, and it doesn't give even a progress meter. [22:10] pkodon: Yes, it can be handy. UNetbootin is a really good way of running Linux from a flash drive without the need to burn a CD [22:10] Geier: This take some time, it's take about 20 min === sauvin is now known as Sauvin [22:11] [TiZ]: I once moved my 120GB XFS partition and it took 12 hours [22:11] soren_schantz, alright i'll be here [22:11] anyone pls help [22:11] via chrome 9 hci [22:11] [TiZ]: I wouldn't start worrying until it's been an hour or so [22:11] [TiZ]: takes a fair while [22:11] <[TiZ]> wj32: Holy cow! O_O [22:11] in amsn when i follow the wizzard for the cam and it say couldn't find /dev/dsp [22:11] [TiZ]: just don't try to cancel it - if you do you're completely f'ed [22:11] it heavily depends on how clean the filesystem, and how much free space is there and if its fragmented or not [TiZ] [22:12] i Meant via chrome9 hc igp [22:12] [TiZ]: also i hope theres nothing essential on that, unless you have backups [22:12] :) [22:12] BTW, I have a friend who installed Ubuntu on his Vista machine as a virtual installation (10GB file on Windows), and wanted to know how to view files on his Windows HD. He wanted access to his mp3 collection. [22:12] I had experience with a QNX installation like that, but not Linux. [22:12] ebaby: i think you should just install ubuntu. does it install correctly? [22:12] pkodon: Do you know what virtualisation software he used? [22:12] Could any of you guys suggest a way for me to get the £ sign back on my keyboard? I'm using UK layout, it shoud be 'SHIFT+3' but all I get is a 3. It's been like it for a while, but now I'm needing it back and I can't find a way to get it :) [22:12] pkodon: wubi? if yes, from withing the wubi ubuntu install the hosts drive should be accessible via /host [22:12] !flash [22:13] 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 [22:13] this is my second time around doing the install. It installs but after reboot there are graphic gobbledey gook [22:13] pkodon: if ubuntu is the guest machine, you can map network drives using the ip address or config the VM to access the local folder as a drive [22:13] <[TiZ]> wj32, Slart, ActionParsnip, thanks. I've shrunk partitions before, but I used to use BootIt NG. I figure GParted would be a better way. [22:13] mattbd: No, I don't even know which version he got. [22:13] I have an Intel 3945 abg Card built into my notebook. The module is installed and loaded, and I see it referenced in the messages, however for some reason it never gets assigned a device name. In dmesg for instance I see, that the WiFi switch is off, and that it has 11 b and 13 a channels available. [22:13] or virtualisation software [22:13] <[TiZ]> mgolisch: It's probably somewhat fragmented. Thanks for your concern, luckily everything he has, I have too. Except for, like, school papers. :P [22:13] :() [22:13] where does ubuntu install source packages to? I have just installed gspca-source but cant find it [22:13] amorphous: System > Preferences > Keyboard? [22:13] not sure what you mean by "just Ubuntu" [22:13] IrishDavid: /usr/src [22:13] hello. anyone know how i find out if i need a bios upgrade? i think i do... [22:13] pkodon: It's simple to do using Virtualbox - you'd install the Guest Additions [22:13] SJrX: does it show up in ifconfig ? [22:13] Nevermind I'm an idiot, no [22:14] wj32: I thought that but i cant find the source files... [22:14] IrishDavid: and if you're ever unsure of where packages install files to, you can right click the package and click properties [22:14] It's under wlan0 :) [22:14] wj32: just found it, it's in a tar... [22:14] humphrey: you check what bios you have.. then you look at the new bios release notes and see if anything has been changed that you need [22:14] SJrX: does sudo iwlist scan show SSIDs? [22:14] mattbd: [22:14] IrishDavid: in synaptic, right click the package [22:14] I found it, iwconfig shows it [22:14] ActionParsnip, yes [22:14] how do i check what version bios i have? [22:14] IrishDavid: oh you mean the source tar is in /usr/src? [22:14] wj32, nice, but i've been through that. I have it as a default UK keyboard, everything's ok, except that one symbol :/ [22:14] for example right now I am at step 7 of 7 on the 8.10 disc [22:14] ive got flash non-free installed yet I cant seem to see sites like youtube [22:14] help!!! [22:15] :) [22:15] humphrey: it depends on manufacturer etc.. it's usually displayed during boot.. [22:15] SJrX: then its working [22:15] humphrey: at the very very beginning of a cold boot [22:15] Geier: sup? [22:15] Error. Dependency is not satisfiable: libgtkglext1 [22:15] rgnr: what problem are you having? [22:15] humphrey: dmidecode might tell you, otherwise reboot and lookup at the bios initialisation messages, it should print the bios version too [22:15] pkodon: and then you'd share the folder on the network in Windows, then in the virtual Ubuntu click Places>Connect to Server [22:15] mattbd: Well, I don't know, I have yet to find out what he's done now, as he got an Ubuntu CD in the mail yesterday, and it sounded like he was going to install that last night. I've heard nothing from him since then. [22:15] Yeah thanks, ActionParsnip [22:15] usually after this it will reboot into a dark monitor even though full display during install [22:15] rgnr: what package are you trying to install [22:15] wj32: psx [22:15] ActionParsnip, disregard that, i misunderstood you [22:15] wj32: psx32 [22:16] Geier: np bro [22:16] hi [22:16] pkodon: Virtualbox is usually the easiest way to create virtual machines for beginners, but VMWare is popular too === qbmaniac is now known as qb|away [22:16] rgnr: what is it? it's not in the official repositories [22:16] <[TiZ]> One more thing: My mom's crappy crappy crappy computer is trying to run Windows XP, and isn't doing a very good job of it. It's a Pentium II, 128MB RAM, and an NVidia TNT Riva. Or something like that. I was thinking of installing Xubuntu on it. Do you think the computer will be able to handle it? [22:16] wj32: I am wondering if I am supposed to male sure boot loader is installed or not have it install [22:16] TiZ: Maybe, but I think it might struggle a bit [22:17] [TiZ]: easily, yes [22:17] ebaby: have you just installed ubuntu? [22:17] [TiZ]: Is it 500MHz ? [22:17] Tiz: gOS Gadgets might be a bit lighter [22:17] ive got flash non-free installed yet I cant seem to see sites like youtube, is there a fix for this? [22:17] [TiZ]: if you can, try find a P3 to upgrade if the socket wil take it, P2 is a garbage cpu [22:17] [TiZ] u might also wanna check out ubuntu with lxce, needs a bit less resources. xfce should do the job tho, however. [22:17] <[TiZ]> Struggling a bit is better than struggling for its life. Thank you mattbd, ActionParsnip. [22:17] wj32: I'm at step 7 of 7 geting ready to finish (for the second time) [22:17] Pirate_Hunter: did you restart your browser? [22:17] mattbd: Well, he's got 4GB of RAM to play with, but Vista uses a lot of that. Me, I'm using an older machine, with an older graphics card and a conglomeration of memory adding up to something like 320M, so I think VirtualBox is out for me. [22:17] [TiZ]: P1 are awesome and P3 are great, P2 is nasty [22:17] ebaby: how many hard drives do you have? [22:18] <[TiZ]> We don't have the resources to get a new processor for a moment, unfortunately. :( [22:18] <[TiZ]> at the moment* [22:18] [TiZ]: It won't be fast, but will be reliable. [22:18] [TiZ]: it depends on what you want to torture it with.. but running abiword, gnumeric and xfce might just work nicely [22:18] [TiZ]: i'd whack some SDRAM in it if yuo can, it'll help [22:18] in amsn when i follow the wizzard for the cam and it say couldn't find /dev/dsp [22:18] pkodon: Yes, that's a bit low for Virtualbox sadly [22:18] mgolisch: yup [22:18] [TiZ] as browser maybe use epiphany-browser :) === richard is now known as Guest69133 [22:18] <[TiZ]> ActionParsnip: Let me put it this way: We're broke. :P [22:18] [TiZ]: I run xubuntu on my mini-itx board.. those are kind of slow (but still modern so it might not be comparable) [22:18] <[TiZ]> I was thinking of using Kazehakase. Would that do well? [22:18] wj32: something is happening after the reboot causing graphics not to display properly (1 hard drive) stepnote nc1502 1.5 ghz 1.4gb ram [22:18] [TiZ]: Not fast, but do-able [22:19] [TiZ]: not got like 5 quid for some cheapo ram [22:19] Slart & mgolisch: dmidecode says "SMBIOS 2.2" and says the release date is 1999! [22:19] [TiZ] http://www.lxde.org/ :) [22:19] TiZ: Midori is OK as a fast light browser [22:19] ebaby: what graphics card is it [22:19] Pirate_Hunter: what doesnt work? just a grey field instaed of the flash video player? try hitting f5 and see if that works [22:19] wj32: nope [22:19] humphrey: then continue on the list of things I told you [22:19] in amsn when i follow the wizzard for the cam and it say couldn't find /dev/dsp [22:19] <[TiZ]> Wow, thanks for all the overwhelming assistance, guys. :D [22:19] humphrey: old doesn't have to mean bad [22:19] mgolisch: nah just flash is not installed jibberish which i know it is [22:19] wj32: via chrome9 hc igp [22:19] anyone can help [22:19] Guest69133: stop repeating, that annoying [22:19] ebaby: oh you told me already [22:19] <[TiZ]> I'll focus on my brother's computer for now, and if he does well with it, then I'll start considering options for mom. Thanks, guys! :D [22:20] mattbd: Riva TNT2 is the graphics card, so a lot of the fancy TNL, OpenGL and DirectX9+ stuff isn't supported. [22:20] ok sorry === Guest57997 is now known as maxbaldwin [22:20] i see, thankyou [22:20] Pirate_Hunter: what browser do you use? and how did you install flash? also make sure you didnt disable javascript, youtube will fail to detect the flash player if you do so [22:20] no-one have any ideas on where my £ sign may have gone to??? [22:20] (Or is that T&L?) [22:20] <[TiZ]> Both acronyms are used. [22:20] pkodon: Have you considered using OpenGEU? That uses the Enlightenment desktop [22:20] Guest69133: just ask your question.. if noone answers repeat, but wait at least 5 minutes before repeating [22:21] wj32: that's ok but I'm not convinced it is the card as when I was given it it was running Edubuntu & as I said problems come AFTER install/reboot [22:21] <[TiZ]> T&L, TNL. Both are accepted. [22:21] ebaby: aside from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=504849 i don't know [22:21] ebaby: apparently there's just not enough support for it [22:21] Guest69133: your best bet is identifying the webcam and search on google if someone managed to get it working with the version of ubuntu you use [22:21] mattbd: Is that an Ubuntu-based distro? [22:21] Guest69133: saying things like "anyone?" won't help you much.. just repeat the entire question.. use the time to google or search the forums [22:21] hello, i have a gps device that has a usb connector, but it includes an internal serial adapter, the problem is that i do not know the specs on the device. is there any way to know the specs on it? [22:21] pkodon: Yes, link is here - http://opengeu.intilinux.com/Home.html [22:22] danes_: lsusb? then google for whatever it displays? [22:22] pkodon: Enlightenment looks very nice, but is lighter even than Xfce [22:22] mgolisch: FF through synaptic [22:22] wj32: I'm wondering if there are some commands that can force it to keep whatever it is using during the install because the GUI is all right here in front of me during install [22:22] i did a lsusb and got this Bus 002 Device 004: ID 067b:2303 Prolific Technology, Inc. PL2303 Serial Port [22:22] thk you very helpfull [22:22] mattbd: theres always fluxbox too [22:22] ebaby: you mean the resolution's too small when you reboot? [22:22] mattbd: Okay, thanks, I'll look it up. Perhaps there is a package to add it to the list of choices at bootup. === maco_ is now known as maco [22:22] Pirate_Hunter: do you use addblockplus or noscript? they might make youtube not work [22:22] danes_: check out gpsbabel they probably have a device list or hints on their website. if its a garmin modprobe sudo garmin-gps might help [22:23] hello all [22:23] wj32: that's why i need hlp [22:23] if you are trying to install flash on a 64 bit os, i found an awesome link, worked just fine for me [22:23] ActionParsnip: Yes, I like Fluxbox, and IceWM is pretty good too [22:23] ebaby: ok, open a terminal window [22:23] this is from ubuntus website: [22:23] 32bit version: This works with most computers [22:23] 64bit version: May provide additional capabilities to computers that are able to use 64bit software [22:23] mgolisch: nope not at all [22:23] danes_: ah, so the serial port is already there. then just try gpsbabel :-) [22:23] i have a 64bit quad core processor, 6gig ddr etc..... [22:23] mattbd: all are lightweigh and good on low end systems [22:23] i use vista 64 now, but if i put ubuntu 64bit on [22:24] what are the "extra features" i get? [22:24] as it states? [22:24] mattbd: install X server and fluxbox and you got a riproaring system [22:24] !enter > ccvp [22:24] ccvp, please see my private message [22:24] wj32: no there is NO resolution. a few squiggly lines of grey matter float by & you can tell that it is trying to config the graphics but it cant [22:24] Pirate_Hunter: check firefox settings to see if it actualy lists the flash player as installed addon/extension [22:24] pkodon: I think there is a package for the OpenGEU desktop but not in Ubuntu by default, don't install the version of Enlightenment in the repositories for that [22:24] ccvp: using more than 4GB ram mainly [22:24] ccvp: extra compared to what? [22:24] dunno [22:24] ubuntu website simply says: [22:24] ccvp: if you want to haev a good use of your 6GB, the 64 bit edition might be suitable for you [22:24] 32bit version: This works with most computers [22:24] 64bit version: May provide additional capabilities to computers that are able to use 64bit software [22:24] ebaby: ok, so if you've just rebooted, press Ctrl+Alt+F1 [22:24] ccvp: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:24] ebaby: then login [22:25] ActionParsnip: Xmonad is good but too hard for me to configure! [22:25] wj32: supernewb here - I am the step 7 of 7. before I do that i should finish the install right? [22:25] ccvp: well the apps are exactly the same, they can just use 64bit hardware and more than 4Gb RAM [22:25] ccvp: the big noticable thing is that is can handle more then 4GB memory without usnig PAE [22:25] ebaby: ok so you haven't finished yet. good. open a terminal window [22:25] hmmm [22:25] 64 bit means you can use more than 4gb ram. 32 means if you have 1 billion gb of ram, you will get to you around 3.5gb or so [22:25] ccvp: it also makes conversions and encoding much smoother as more info can be read at once [22:25] ccvp: you won't need goggles or a helmet to handle the speed.. it will be about the same [22:25] mgolisch: ok one sec [22:25] ebaby: Applications > Accessories > Terminal [22:26] omny_devi: not realy true if you take PAE into account [22:26] wj32: sorry I am not aware how to do that. plz explain [22:26] whats up w/ "fedora" trying to make waves in the community now, some say fedora 10 rivals ubuntu? [22:26] is this some joke? [22:26] ccvp: I think you should look at what 64bit computing can provide over 32bit and what it actually means [22:26] ccvp: some special stuff might be a little faster.. math stuff mostly afaik, encryption and such [22:26] Hello, i have installed ubuntu server edition, and cant boot it up, could someone help me with the problem? msg me [22:26] nope nothing there in about:plugins [22:26] hi when i push alt+F2 and write compiz and push enter what must happen after? some window come up or? [22:26] ebaby: ok, here's a different way: press Alt+F2, type gksu "nautilus --no-desktop", press enter [22:26] !doesntwork | mempho [22:26] mempho: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [22:26] my pc is pretty quick w/ vista 64..........the only reason i use windows [22:26] is because of "warhammer online" [22:26] ccvp: they arent rivals. If fedora suits your needs, use it, if ubuntu suits them better, use it [22:27] the_geremy: compiz starts as a windows manager then [22:27] the_geremy: I think you need to put compiz --replace [22:27] yeah, i just recently switched from xp to ubuntu. cedega rocks :D [22:27] ccvp: use what you find satisifes your needs, let others use what they find satisifes theirs [22:27] ccvp: as simple as that [22:27] the_geremy: you may want to use compiz --replace [22:27] ccvp: I use a vast array of distros as each one has strengths which I use [22:27] the only thing open are firefox and the ubuntu installer window [22:27] ccvp: well.. not to sound bitter but I think warhammer might works just a bad in wine as it does in windows.. ;) [22:27] alt+F2 doesnt produce anything [22:27] ebaby: press Alt+F2\ [22:27] its not optimized [22:27] thanks i try [22:27] like WoW is...........blizzard has tons of $$$ for good software engineers [22:27] ebaby: interesting... go to Applications > Accessories > Terminal [22:27] ccvp: I have ubuntu installed but I use mandriva more as well as gentoo on my fileserver [22:28] How do I check a storage devices integrity? [22:28] ccvp: WoW plays awesome on Linux with wine [22:28] alguem pode me ajudar [22:28] !fsck | pyrotix [22:28] pyrotix: S.M.A.R.T.? [22:28] pyrotix: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [22:28] !pt | goianousa [22:28] goianousa: Por favor use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [22:28] wj32: there are no desktop icons etc just the last window of install and firefox browser window [22:28] how can i get flash to work it is installed but not being see by firefox? [22:28] how do i configure compiz? [22:28] brigado [22:28] ebaby: oh I see what you mean [22:28] ccvp: It's surprising how well some games work in Wine. I got Homeworld 2 working in it which doesn't seem to work at all in Vista [22:28] oh, i also use tversity........i stream divx movies etc.......on my vista 64 pc to my HDTV.....my xbox360 accesses the media on the pc.......over wireless N...its pretty slick setup... I use an app called Tversity, has a webserver too.....access the media on my iphone which is wifi'd into the home network [22:28] ebaby: press Ctrl+Alt+F1 [22:28] is there a similar app that can do all that on ubuntu?

[22:29] ccvp: I don't really know for sure but I'm guessing that playing with your iphone in ubuntu might be hard.. [22:29] shall I finish the install first? [22:29] tversity is tight, but i dont think they have an installer [22:29] for linux [22:29] Pirate_Hunter: you probably did something wrong, or the install failed, it actualy downlaods the thing from adobe, maybe that can fail silently [22:29] the_geremy: install compiz settings manager, search it from synaptic [22:29] ccvp: you can share the folder in ubuntu with samba and will be accessible by any system [22:30] ebaby: no [22:30] ccvp: I think you need to jailbreak your iPhone to use it with Ubuntu [22:30] action yes, but tversity transcodes [22:30] like 100 formats on the fly in real time [22:30] Pirate_Hunter: id suggest reinstalling using apt-get install --reinstall flashplugin-nonfree and see if something screws up [22:30] I am trying to install a program downloaded from the internet and I keep getting the following message," Please close the other application e.g. Update Manager,aptitude, or synaptic first." The only programs that are open are Firefox and the package installer. [22:30] magnus0: the_geremy: sudo apt-get install compiz-settings-manager [22:30] ActionParsnip: what about if it is in NTFS? [22:30] magnus0: no need for synaptic, too slow [22:30] mgolisch: ok [22:30] yikes - dark screen and grey fuzz [22:30] ok - how do i get the GDBM_File module installed in perl in ubuntu because atm the current binaries for perl 5.10.0 do not have the module compiled... [22:30] tmckinley: close the package installer then, that's the problem [22:30] ActionParsnip: ok wil try that as well [22:30] pyrotix: you can share any mounted partition [22:30] tmckinley: if you're really sure, open terminal window and you can remove the lock [22:31] hi, will intrepid ever get 2.6.28 love?

I have to go now :( [22:32] kekekeke [22:32] sadly its win installer only [22:32] wj32: ok back to where i was with that last command e.g. installer window + FF window [22:32] ccvp: theres xbmc [22:32] After i installed Ubuntu server edition, and when i boot it up it says that i need to reboot and select proper boot device, please help! [22:33] ccvp: you can add repos for it and install it, it not bad [22:33] ethan: well.. no.. it's still on.. but without any rules it won't do anything.. so for all practical reasons it's off [22:33] that can do the same thing [22:33] as tversity [22:33] any commands to use during the reboot to force the graphics [22:33] installs on linux?

[22:34] ethan: the firewall is always on.. but without any firewall rules it won't do anything [22:34] hi [22:34] on the ubuntu livecd. does it limit you to their website in firefox and prevent you from going to other sites? like the mandriva liveCD [22:34] !hello | MELISSA1 [22:34] MELISSA1: Hi!

[22:34] !codecs | ccvp [22:34] ccvp: not sure about that, as in linux generaly you have suport for all codecs, so you tend not to care about those [22:34] Ash_: no, why should they do that? [22:34] slart: how do i change that because i think i got a bug called "soft lockup" and i have trouble logging on and it gives random power downs [22:34] magnus0: is it in the official repo?

[22:35] http://xbmc.org/ [22:35] zsquareplusc: would i pipe into tee? ie ./myprocess | tee myfile.out [22:35] no idea you tell me why i cant go to google on my mandriva liveCD [22:35] ethan: I very much doubt that the firewall is causing that.. what happens when this bug occurs? [22:35] its connected to the internet [22:35] CarolinaSwamp: exactly [22:35] ive double checked and tripple checked [22:35] it will go to mandriva's website but wont go to any other site [22:35] check at least 10 times [22:35] pls help: can i simply resize an ext3 partition and move the linux swap partition to the end of the disk with gparted? will my computer boot? [22:35] Ash_: When you type www.google.com into the address bar, what happens? [22:35] Ash_: strange [22:36] slart: well it wont logg on when ubuntu is starting up it will load half way and then go a blakc screen that syas warning, and then gives a bunch of stuff about modprobe [22:36] wow [22:36] Ash_, ping www.google.com ? [22:36] cannot find host [22:36] Ash Ketchum? [22:36] i did ping google [22:36] it does everything that tversity can [22:36] Ash_: this is ubuntu support, not mandriva support. You can go to #mandriva for mandriva support [22:36] it seems [22:36] trying to get it to start up and display as it did during install - anyone? [22:36] seems like a routing problem [22:36] weird i never heard of it [22:36] slart: and also last night i had a random power down out of no where [22:36] and all packets sent [22:36] Ash_: You have network problem. [22:36] ethan: and that bunch of stuff is? [22:36] ccvp xbmc and mythtv are two VERY well known solutions [22:36] Ash_: Not a browser problem [22:36] mgolisch: http://pastebin.ca/1299250 [22:36] slart: the whole page is differetn each time i logg on [22:36] ok, so which of the two rivals tversity [22:36] ccvp: i'd research linux apps that will do what you need [22:36] ccvp: they havce been around for years [22:36] better?

[22:49] Pirate_Hunter: what repo? [22:49] lobo__: #php, next time ask in #freenode [22:49] ethan: UFW is already set up pretty well by default so I don't think you have to worry too much [22:49] TomaszD, why not using gui ? [22:49] j0nr: If you did that on the server side, use ssh -X on client === rwparris3 is now known as rwparris2 [22:49] i try [22:49] j0nr, is X installed on the server? [22:49] Does anyone know how to configued V4L or UVC to output better quality [22:49] ethan: If you really want to tweak it I would install Firestarter, which is a GUI app [22:49] the_geremy: do you see that Show Desktop text? [22:49] Pirate_Hunter: flashplugin-nonfree should fetch the flashplayer 10 alpha version from adobe, it did atleast on my intrepid amd64 box [22:49] After i have installed ubuntu server edition, and going to press finish to complete the instalation, then a black screen apears and shows me numbers and words who updates quickly so i cant read what the error is, can anyone help me? [22:49] the_geremy: there's that button next to it [22:49] j0nr: the server edition uses the same repos, you can install the same packages as on a desktop. however for ssh -X you might need to install xorg-common manually (or install xterm or xeyes, that will get X client files too) [22:49] thanks [22:50] abuyusuf_, because it fails, it tries to force pincode 0000 while the device I'm trying to pair with generates the pin code randomly and it's never 0000 [22:50] zli: not sure...just a standard ubuntu server edition install [22:50] j0nr: ssh X username@servername [22:50] mattbd: ok thank you so i should proabbly restart my computer then right for it to start up? [22:50] j0nr: when you are connected just run x based apps [22:50] j0nr, I'm quite sure X is not installed by default. [22:50] mempho: Only if you tell us what it shows on the screen. [22:50] TomaszD, you should be able to change the pin code === tarfax is now known as tarfax2 [22:50] TomaszD: bluetooth in intrepid is broken.. so very broken [22:50] TomaszD, How it force that ? [22:50] mgolisch: im using xubuntu ad not the 8.10 i think im stil using 8.04 on this machine but that should make a difference [22:50] i just tried the netbook remix launcher ... isn't it supposed to remove the window decoration when in fullscreen? [22:50] magnus0: how to start gammu? [22:50] ActionParsnip: I am doing that...getting Error can't open displlay [22:50] Slart, it is not, it's the bloody graphical tools that are pathetic [22:50] ethan: Yes, the firewall will have been configure when you next restart [22:51] Hey guys quick question, I make youtube videos (I use camera and transfer to the computer) and they come out in avi mode, I can play these and watch these on ubuntu right and upload them to youtube? [22:51] ok thank you [22:51] TomaszD: pairings doesn't work.. file transfers doesn't work etc etc.. check the launchpad.. there's probably 20 bugs or so for it [22:51] In avi format [22:51] why is the x server the *client* and the x client the *server*? [22:51] I mean [22:51] j0nr: did you restart sshd after editing its configuration? [22:51] on the left side its a number who updates quickly, for example 500.01 [22:51] and updates fast [22:51] Slart, I am aware of that, but that's just because of the GUI tools, the underlying bluez stack is fine, so it should work from the terminal [22:51] yes i see [22:51] the_geremy: does it say None? [22:51] Hey guys quick question, I make youtube videos (I use camera and transfer to the computer) and they come out in avi format, I can play these and watch these on ubuntu right and upload them to youtube? [22:52] Slart, but it does not as some dbus methods have been deprecated and the wiki they give examples for pairing is outdated [22:52] ActionParsnip: Actually fuppes looks pretty cool, I may have to try it myself sometime [22:52] j0nr: /etc/init.d/ssh restart [22:52] TomaszD: oh.. I had several already paired devices.. hasn't been able to any one of them in intrepid [22:52] mattbd: its ok, I just use samba [22:52] mgolisch: weird didnt know that adobe now provides a deb file for flash lol find it funny for some reason, I wonder if it is more stable than the tar.gz [22:52] wj32: a server exports some functionality and an x server export graphics drawing capabilities to applications. [22:52] no it say topleft, topright, .... and so on... all corners [22:52] and when i reboot the computer, i get a message to reboot or insert proper device. [22:52] BLuEACiD: yes, you probably want to make sure you have installed the ubuntu-restricted-extras package, and also possibly w32codecs or w64codecs from medibuntu [22:52] Slart: using LiveCD 8.10 to install on an Everex StepNote NC1502 (1.5Ghz, 1.5gb Ram, 80gb HD) graphics card via chrome9 hc igp - installs fine using safe graphics mode -the first 3 F6 options 2 of which are: noapic nolapic - problem is that after restart no graphics will display... [22:52] TomaszD: hmm.. well.. if you find out anything useful, do share it with us [22:53] how to use BlackBerry with Ubuntu? like: installing software, backup address book...? [22:53] Pirate_Hunter: they dont, the deb just fetchs the targz from adobe [22:53] wj32: because the app is running on one machine (the X-client) and using the "console" on the other machine (aka X-Server) for UI [22:53] the_geremy: click on the button and click on the corners [22:53] TomaszD, try using this program: sudo apt-get install obexftp obexpushd [22:53] guntbert: ah i see [22:53] Pirate_Hunter: in the end you can just grab the targz and install it manualy [22:53] zli: ActionParsnip just installed xterm... no effect (do i need to restart ssh?) [22:53] Ty jtaji I have already installed restricted extras, and if it doesnt let me I will get w32codecs, thanks for the help! [22:53] TomaszD, using that, you can scan for devices and send files to them, using terminal only [22:53] getbit: COuld try this thread - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=190938 [22:53] ebaby: ok.. when you're booting from the hard drive does it look the same as when you boot from the cd without noapic and nolapic? [22:54] Geier: It starts up google earth, then i draws the earth. But then the app terminate almost immediately [22:54] mgolisch: ok still its from their site but meh http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ [22:54] j0nr: You could also use vnc [22:54] abuyusuf_, thanks but what I'm trying to pair is bluetooth stereo headphones, not a phone [22:54] soren_schantz, -.- [22:54] help to install a program new in ubuntu [22:54] ok i try but i dont think this is it [22:54] Hey :) [22:54] soren_schantz, any error messages on console?

[23:08] I'm a gnome guy so i stay away from the k[app] [23:08] that's waht i like [23:08] ethan:Which version are you using ie Hardy, Intrepid etc [23:08] tbrockman: you can run some versions of microsofts suite via wine, you'll have to ceck the app db. It runs through crossover office which is paid software [23:08] why does the terminal 'free -m' command show totally wrong memory usage when compared with the presumably correct 'system monitor' [23:08] M3TAPHYS1CS: possibly because of the system cache? [23:08] Here is the picture of the error i get, sorry for bad quality -> http://bildr.no/view/317292 [23:08] gerber: type th nick you are responding to followed by the 'tab' key [23:09] tbrockman: what apps do you use in office suites? [23:09] mattbd: intrepid [23:09] nick [23:09] M3TAPHYS1CS: compare the +/- buffers row instead of Mem [23:09] nbeebo: play on a server close to you. depending on technology and ISP it might be better at some daytimes. also close other internet apps such as firefox and email notifiers [23:09] ethan: I found Intrepid to be a little buggy too so I stuck with Hardy [23:09] everything, but mostly spreadsheet and writing apps [23:09] word processors [23:10] tbrockman: theres abiword if you simply want a word processor [23:10] ok goddamit i HATE the stuck keys problem [23:10] gerber: try this type exodus then press tab [23:10] i just pressed alt+f4 to close a window and ALL my windows closed [23:10] how do renew your IP wirelessly using command line??? [23:10] M3TAPHYS1CS: the +/- buffers row gives you memory used minus memory used to cache files and such.. and I think that's what the system monitor shows [23:10] gerber: yes, download the package from the link exodus_ms gave you [23:10] how do i switch it wihtout uninstalling any of my drivers? [23:10] Can anyone help me with my problem? after i have finished the install of ubuntu server editon, i back screen aprears. and shows me many numbers/Words who updates quickly, so i cant see the error, does anyone know what to do ? Here is the error -> http://bildr.no/view/317292 [23:10] ethan: My Intel sound card didn't work very well, unfortunately it's a bug in the kernel, other distros using the same kernel have the same thing [23:10] ethan: Switch what? [23:10] exodus_ms: [23:10] Ok thanks Slart what the +- shows makes more sense, thanks buddy [23:10] gerber: after that it's just a make all [23:10] mattbd: is there a way i can switch from intrepid to hardy without uninstalling any of my drivers? [23:10] M3TAPHYS1CS: ideally you would want no unused memory at all since "unused memory is waster memory" [23:11] M3TAPHYS1CS: you're welcome [23:11] Since I'm here, I may as well ask another (unrelated) question: How do I generate an "old style" xorg.conf in Hardy (and later). i.e., the kind without the "Configured monitor". "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" and "dexconf" both generate the "new" one. [23:11] it look easy but hard for me [23:11] wj32: I don't think he will understand 'make' [23:11] cant hurt to have a little free space though [23:11] need help with bbc iplayer says i need to enable java but i have it installed " java web start 6" what should i do ? [23:11] zsquareplusc, i have 50 ping there until the lagg, and i dont have anything else running, only 2 connections, the game and irc [23:11] mattbd: Notice the Query window? [23:11] M3TAPHYS1CS: ubuntu will automatically release buffers if the memory is needed [23:11] Can anyone help me with my problem? after i have finished the install of ubuntu server editon, i back screen aprears. and shows me many numbers/Words who updates quickly, so i cant see the error, does anyone know what to do ? Here is the error -> http://bildr.no/view/317292 [23:11] guys whats the consensus on broadcom restricted drivers, better to not use them? [23:11] ethan: No, as far as I'm aware it's not possible to downgrade from Intrepid [23:11] I have a UVC webcamera, it is working fine however i can only grab 640x480 off of it... when it supports up to 960x720/1600x1200 [23:11] does sleep work only with the open source ones? or is that not an issue [23:11] anybody could help about WINE? [23:11] mempho: it seems to say "bad_irq" [23:12] Slart: ok so I should just finish the install and let you know what occurs? [23:12] pkodon: Sorry, I didn't I'm using Irssi and I'm not yet used to it! [23:12] ah ok, thanks again Slart [23:12] mempho: what CPU do you have? [23:12] mattbd: so intrepid is an upgrade of hardy?

I'm running Wordpress, PHP, Apache, and MySQL on an Ubuntu machine (to use as a webserver). It is wirelessly connected to my network.

[23:12] nbeebo: even the IRC may be disturbing. if you have a router, that can be good or bad too. [23:12] mattbd: is there a version after intrepid? [23:12] gerber: good, now after you type 'exodus and press tab' enter some text. This works on anyone you repspond to. It lets people now by highlighting their name that someone is responding to them :) [23:13] ethan: The version after Intrepid is Jaunty but that isn't released till April [23:13] Can anyone help me with my problem? after i have finished the install of ubuntu server editon, i back screen aprears. and shows me many numbers/Words who updates quickly, so i cant see the error, does anyone know what to do ?

[23:13] mempho, so whats the actual proboem? you do a server install. and you are not getting to the LOGIN: prompt? or what exactly? [23:13] mempho: ouch.. that looks bad.. does the live cd run on your computer? [23:13] could anyone tell me how to cut and copy multiple folders in terminal? [23:14] dr_willis: he gets all these bad_irq errors [23:14] mattbd: the bug randomly shuts me down and when it does i get troubles booting back up [23:14] ethan: What exactly is the issue? It may not be a bug [23:14] nbeebo, you can't play games via virtualbox [23:14] ah i just installed 8.10, fresh install, and it says there is an error when installing all the updates [23:14] ac3_0f_spad3s: mv to move or rename stuff.. cp to copy [23:14] nnull, no i cant, because im doing it [23:14] i finish the install, and when the login shall came, it dosnt [23:14] ac3_0f_spad3s: I don't think there is a copy paste in a terminal.. [23:14] mempho: try shorter exposure times ;-) that error is reportedd after you reboot in the fresh install? [23:14] using Intrepid, most times after a rebbot NM finds pulls a ip from DHCP instead of using my static that I have set. What's causing this? bug in NM? [23:14] i have installed it for 4-5 times now [23:14] anyone know what the Wallpaper plugin does in CCSM? [23:14] reboot* [23:14] Slart: installing system 15% done will let U know what happens next [23:14] and got the same error [23:14] ethan> Does it shut down completely or is something like a Windows BSOD?

[23:15] kindofabuzz: I've seen other people having problems with NM and static ips.. not sure if it's a bug or a feature though =) [23:15] what www pages are good for me to know more about ubuntu and mainly about programs and utilities? [23:15] mattbd: when i try to boot up ubuntu after a random shut down i get a black screen and it has happeend twice but siad different things both tiems. this very last time it siad bugg: soft lock up [23:15] kindofabuzz: have you looked in launchpad? [23:15] so far the program is here and I double click it and it shows a folder with a slash [23:15] ebaby: ok [23:15] and, when i reboot. it says that i need to reboot and select a proper device! [23:15] nnull: no idea, ive asked myslef a few times, seems pointless [23:15] yikes, a random shutdown? [23:15] what will be next [23:15] mattbd: well the first time it completely shut down and the second time the screen kept blinking and wasnt usable [23:15] like it haven't been installed. [23:15] ethan: Are you using ndiswrapper to get wireless working? [23:16] mattbd: Does that mean you can't see the query window, or just don't know how to get to it? [23:16] the_geremy: https://help.ubuntu.com and https://help.ubuntu.com/community are two good ones [23:16] ActionParsnip, ahh [23:16] how do i give myself temporary gui permission so i can copy and paste a large number of folders? [23:16] mattbd: yes i believ so [23:16] nbeebo: many internet connections are asymmetrical up/down. and a bad router can slow down downstream because the upstream is full. QoS can help slighty and ACK priorization [23:16] ac3_0f_spad3s: what's "gui permission"? [23:16] Slart, probably a bug. I have to go in and delete that connection and it goes back to my static. And they both say Auto eth1. weird. what's that other connection manager called? maybe i'll try that [23:16] pkodon: Irssi is command-line, I've only just started using it [23:16] ac3_0f_spad3s: you can always use gksudo nautilus to get a root file manager [23:16] mattbd: when i first installed my wireless driver i had to use ndiswrapper [23:16] thanks slart [23:16] ac3_0f_spad3s: be very careful with it though.. there's nothing stopping you from trashing your own system with it [23:17] nbeebo: but it may also be that you connection is simply not so good. depending on technology, many users share the same backbone.. [23:17] Can someone tell me a program that I can set up that will keep 2 folders on seperate hard drives the exact same. Like if I delete a file it will also get deleted from the other folder. [23:17] ethan: I had issues with ndiswrapper, it can make your system less stable [23:17] kindofabuzz: I have no idea.. I've never used it [23:17] Slart: yes, i have the live CD in the pc. [23:17] pieces, just symlink them [23:17] mattbd: so what do i do to change it? [23:17] zsquareplusc, i have a script inside my conky that tells how many up and down connections ive got, i can have 50 and above so i dont think that.. maybe ill check those numbers when it laggs next time... [23:17] ethan: Now Ubuntu has a native driver and it's very stable [23:17] kindofabuzz: ty [23:17] nnull: try disabling it, see what happens [23:17] Alright, I'm completely new at this, I installed Ubuntu about a week ago and have been fiddling with it since then. I'm currently trying to get a webcam working, and I'm confusing myself horribly with reading about compiing and kernels and whatnot. Anyone able to help? [23:17] zsquareplusc, its worked before [23:17] pieces: rsync will do once.. I don't know if there is a daemon that will do it continously though [23:17] pieces, I'm not sure if there's one tht will do it automagically but rsync can do what you need manually [23:17] kindofabuzz: well i'm assuming he wants to access the data on the other drive when he's away from his own comp [23:18] mempho: and that works alright? [23:18] oh [23:18] mattbd: well when i first installed ubuntu which was 3 days ago i ahd to configure my wireless driver myself [23:18] !webcam | TobiasGreenich [23:18] pieces, yeah did you mean over a network? === _acyd_ is now known as acydlord [23:18] ethan: Did it work out of the box?

[23:19] mattbd: im no totaly sure my friend did the wireless card for me but ik that he used ndiswrapper i believe [23:19] Slart: is at 51% install now but I can pretty much tell U what will happen after the restart [23:19] mempho: hmm.. when you start the live cd you can select some safe mode options.. nolapic, noapic and such.. have you tried those? [23:19] does any one know [23:19] pieces: is it a portable hard drive? [23:19] mattbd: Okay, well, essentially, thanks for the suggestions, I've bookmarked the website, and am looking for a non-emulation way to install it within my current installation. Only one person on their IRC channel, and he's not responding. Looks interesting, though, especially for older computers, and potential customers. [23:19] ebaby: hehe.. ok.. go ahead [23:19] ? [23:19] I got a problem. I am trying to install Lithuanian-English dictionary, which is made for Windows. When i use Wine, and try to install, i need to enter a licence key. When i do in on Windows, it's ok, but on ubuntu it's shows the key is invalid [23:19] pieces: i can't see why you would want to do a symlink like that [23:19] slart: no, going to do that now. [23:19] can someone look into my pastebin and explain why icewm is giving errors when unninstalling http://pastebin.ca/1299276? [23:20] ethan: run lsmod | grep ndiswrapper [23:20] mattbd: what will it do? [23:20] nbeebo: netstat or lsof. but remeber, high ping means your computer measures a large round trip time. so even an application with high cpu load can disturb ping measurements (timestamps too late) [23:20] wj32 yeah [23:20] pkodon: Was that Virtualbox or UNetbootin? [23:20] is there a script that checks whether update are available and informs the admin via mail ? [23:21] ethan: That will say if the ndiswrapper module is running [23:21] mattbd: becuase my wireless didnt work before and i dont wnat it to disable [23:21] wj32, I want to be able to back up stuff and be able to keep my music on my laptop the same as my desktop [23:21] ethan: It just lists the running modules [23:21] mattbd: OpenGEU [23:21] when i double click all the folders show up I dont know what to do next [23:21] Slart: well it will just go black and try to load graphics but will be unable to finally will get a dialog box saying it will run in safe graphics mode but that wont be any different... [23:21] mattbd can you help me [23:22] is it possible to create a windows install flash drive from within ubuntu? [23:22] ebaby: ok.. what kind of graphics card do you have? [23:22] can someone look into my pastebin and explain why icewm is giving errors when unninstalling http://pastebin.ca/1299276? [23:22] I need some help setting up dual monitors...my primary is working fine, my 2nd monitor is going out DVI to Svideo/component, but on the tv (sdtv) I get lines going from the bottom up [23:22] Ive built a module, but when inserting i get "insmod: error inserting 'vloopback.ko': -1 Unknown symbol in module" [23:22] pkodon: Sorry, mind like a sieve! OpenGEU is basically a customised Ubuntu, it's easier to install from scratch although I heard there was a way to install the desktop somewhere on their website [23:22] nbeebo: and is it wire or wireless? if its the later, make sure use use a channel no other APs are [23:23] gerber: What's the problem? [23:23] mattbd: it syas "ndiswrapper 196380 0 [23:23] usbcore 148848 5 ndiswrapper,usbhid,ehci_hcd,ohci_hcd" [23:23] I got a problem. I am trying to install Lithuanian-English dictionary, which is made for Windows. When i use Wine, and try to install, i need to enter a licence key. When i do in on Windows, it's ok, but on ubuntu it's shows the key is invalid [23:23] ethan: Yes, ndiswrapper is running then. [23:23] mattbd: what do i do to fix it? [23:23] is there any playstaion2 emulato for linux? [23:23] ebaby: or wait.. Via chrome .. right? [23:24] Slart: via chrome9 hc igp [23:24] Slart: yes U are correct [23:24] levidos emulators are mainly used for illegal purposes, no one will help you here regarding that. [23:24] ethan: If it is ndiswrapper that's the problem then only option really is to use a different device or wired internet unless you can compile a driver yourself [23:24] zsquareplusc, netstat doesnt exist and lsof gives me 1000 lines of offline apps... i use wire... hmm ill try changing virtualbox settings.. [23:24] ethan: What wireless card do you have? [23:24] is it possible to create a windows install flash drive from within ubuntu? [23:24] kestutis: did you have to register the application to get the key? it may be machine dependent and wine is probably looking different than a native windoze [23:24] mattbd;broadcom [23:25] is it possible to raid ide and sata drives together, or is it hardware dependent? [23:25] ethan: Broadcom are notorious sadly [23:25] mattbd: its the card that came in my laptop [23:25] mattbd: so its the only thing i have [23:25] zsquareplusc, I just have to enter the key while installing the application. [23:25] ethan: Broadcom are just about the last manufacturer that don't provide open source drivers [23:25] ebaby: hmm.. it seems that the driver for via chrome 9 can cause problems in intrepid.. but it seems it worked in hardy [23:26] @Bikeguy a software-raid you can bould over all kind of drives, no matter if scsi, sata, ide .. [23:26] on windows, the setup works. on ubuntu-wine, it shows the key is invalid [23:26] nbeebo: well i have a netstat. and for lsof there is an option to list tcp connections only, just don't remember how, see man page ;-) [23:26] mattbd: so what do i do? is there anything i can do to fix it im running an HP Pavilion zv6000 [23:26] zsquareplusc, im using nat in virtualbox, should i choose host interface instad?.. hmm ok thanks! :D [23:27] levidos already tried pcsx2.net ? [23:27] ethan: Try this link - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsBroadcom [23:27] mattbd: what is it? [23:27] ethan: That gives some information about using Broadcom cards in Linux [23:27] robo47: yeah, it's looking like my motherboard doesn't support ide-sata raids, a software raid would definitely work... [23:27] zsquareplusc, i made a typo earlier, running netstat and showing no connections.. [23:27] mattbd: what should i look for? [23:28] nbeebo: not sure what's better performance wise, maybe ask that in #vbox [23:28] !raid | Bikeguy [23:28] Bikeguy: raid is Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID wto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [23:28] ActionParsnip: oh sorry [23:28] Slart: if hardy is 7.01 then that CD would not work for me not sure if the latest Edubunt is hardy as the og owner was running it on this no problemo [23:28] can someoen help me delete icewm, it gives error when purging, how can i fix this?

[23:29] ethan: You can run lspci -v | less to get a list of the PCI hardware on your computer [23:29] kestutis: the key is not made specific for you? maybe the wine install isn't looking "good enough" to that application. an other option would be installing the application in a virtual PC like virtualbox (but you need a windoze lincense). alternatively see if there's a linux version a compatible application [23:29] ethan: Then match that up to what is on the wiki at that link [23:29] <__MAV> Hello everybody! === davidcam is now known as jez [23:30] ebaby: hardy is 8.04.. sometimes you can install a newer driver.. or do some other magic.. hang on.. let me google for a minute more === jez is now known as dc2447 [23:30] <__MAV> I want to build Xepyr in Ubuntu.

[23:51] ActionParsnip: according to System -> Administration -> Hardware drivers the Atheros driver is enabled. What else do I need to do? [23:51] anyone have any experience with difficulties transfering dv over fire wire. I've been working around with documentation for a bit but I havnt had any luck [23:51] the_geremy: you need to run: sudo smbpasswd [23:51] ActionParsnip: just tried creating a backup of that and emoving everything on the riginal file still same error cant i force it to remove or something [23:51] edi_99: And have you rebooted? [23:52] ActionParsnip, I removed linux-restricted-modules already [23:52] i type sudo smbpasswd -a username [23:52] mattbd: rebooting won't make a difference [23:52] Pirate_Hunter: i'd try simply not having the file there which will be achieved by renaming it [23:52] zugzug: You could download the latest Madwifi drivers from http://sourceforge.net/projects/madwifi/ [23:52] ActionParsnip, otherwise it causes the kernel to hang (2.6.27.9) [23:52] Pirate_Hunter: you could try: sudo dpkg -r (app name) [23:52] mattbd: not yet. Should I? [23:53] Help... someone have video card 9500m GS? (horable 2d performance) [23:53] anyone helpme get my soundcard setup in ubuntustudio? [23:53] ActionParsnip: ok will remove it since ive got a backup [23:53] edi_99: Try restarting your web browser first [23:53] i install samba 4 [23:53] Help... someone have video card 9500m GS? (horable 2d performance) =(( [23:53] mib_2dc6mp: what soundcard does lspci / lsusb say you have? [23:54] i have installed ubuntu, and all went fine now. When im trying to boot it up, it wont boot from my hard drive, why not = [23:54] ? [23:54] k, while the drivers DL... I have a weird prob. Quad 6600 shows up as running at 1600MHz natively (should be 2.4ghz) and shows up as 2ghz when I overclock to 3ghz [23:54] mattbd: yeah, it works now. Thanks [23:54] Slart: restarting now [23:54] ebaby: ok [23:54] anyone helpme get my soundcard setup in ubuntustudio? [23:54] mempho: if grub doesnt boot, its a bios setting issue and not ubuntu [23:55] mempho: have you checked your bios settings, is your computer booting from that hdd [23:55] mib_2dc6mp: i keep asking you what soundcard do you have? [23:55] Yes [23:55] mib_2dc6mp: i keep asking you [23:55] I posted the link [23:55] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EchoMia [23:55] zugzug: the cpu speed is dynamically adjusted, depending on load. 1.6GHz is a normal lower limit. did you check the frequency also under heavy load? [23:55] it is the echo mia and that is the support page [23:55] Can someone explain the version names of the nvidia packages in Ubuntu? [23:55] hi all, i just installed glib 2.0, but when i use glib.h in my c programs, gcc says me tha it can't find the header to include, how can i do it? [23:56] but that guy is showing the code for 2 sound cards [23:56] I.e. what's the newest one? [23:56] anyone have any experience with difficulties transferring DV over fire wire. I've been working around with documentation for a bit but I havn't had any luck yet [23:56] mib_2dc6mp: then you need to compile alsa for it [23:56] zsquareplusc, nope, is this something I can disable in the BIOS? [23:56] Slart: BTW is it plugged into net via ethernet cord - message remove disc and press enter has appeared... [23:56] actionParsnip so far I have installed ubuntu studio and all the components [23:56] ebaby: ok [23:56] mempho: give a description of your setup [23:56] zugzug: how do you read the cpu speed? with the cpu freq applet' [23:57] ActionParsnip: apparently that did the trick whatever that file was about [23:57] mib_2dc6mp: then you still need to compile alsa to get your soundcard working [23:57] Pirate_Hunter: no idea, if you got the goal then awesome [23:57] zsquareplusc, applet and sysinfo, both report the same thing. And you're right. I'm running geekbench now and it's gone up to 2.4ghz [23:57] Pirate_Hunter: i think the fact it was full of garbage was making the removal screw up [23:58] In the process of trying to fix X's video (didn't like me having two video cards without defining the PCI bus address for the one) I uninstalled the nvidia drivers. My xorg still has the drivers set to 'nvidia' and it works. how can i check if the drivers its using is actual nvidia drivers or if they're just the ones from the restricted ubuntu drivers? [23:58] i installed Adobe PS CS2. i open it with WINE. IT shows: "You are not allowed to continue because your account doesnt have the proper privileges. Please log in using an account with administrator privilegies and try again" [23:58] ActionParsnip: yeha i noticed but it was a system file dot like removing those without making sure with someone who knows more about linux than me [23:58] can I check for asla first somehow [23:58] Slart: interesting got a box giving a choice of kernel to choose e.g. 2.6.27-7-generic and others i.e. ....(on/dev/sda1) [23:58] Pirate_Hunter: you made a backup with a different name so you acn do anything you want [23:58] kestutis, /join #winehq for wine questions [23:58] Pirate_Hunter: you made a way to roll back [23:59] ebaby: huh? it isn't a fresh install? [23:59] ActionParsnip: yeah but now i doubt i will since the system works without it
