[00:02] dr_willis: I guess that's what we get for using adblocking software =/ [00:02] bromic94: tats saying you got an Intel video card.. that has 2 Outputs on it.. looks like to me. [00:02] Slart: i will keep adblock :) and phhhht with the videos [00:02] Dwade: im in on this late, is the issue something like firefox freezing when you try to play a flash video? [00:03] Slart, thank you so much. for your help. [00:03] for dual screens read up on xinerama [00:03] hello I have a new Dell Studio laptop with an Intel WiFi 5100 wireless card. I installed ubuntu 8.10 and it finds the card and connects to my wireless network but I have no interenet. I can't even ping the router :\ [00:03] flugh, no i was trying to download that video [00:03] Slart: im seeing way too many sites that are pratically unuseable without adblock [00:03] also, during a hardware test, i get teh error "impossible with fglrx" for "the following resolution was detected" [00:03] does anyone have any idea what would be wrong with my internet? [00:03] Dwade09: you're welcome [00:03] ah, gotcha. [00:03] aka: do u have a IP address? [00:03] aka: you need to install the driver for you wirelesscard [00:03] dr_willis: hehe.. yes, I'll just find another site.. it's a big internet out there [00:03] dr_willis: yeah, i feel really sorry for ie users. they're getting more desperate as times get harder [00:03] hey can anyone tell me in terminal mode how i add respostors to my current list [00:03] Okay. Here's my full problem. If I visit a website (local network, on my own server) that is trying to deliver a PHP page, my firefox offers to download it, instead of displaying it. I do it locally on the machine, and it works fine. I'm doing the WTF?! [00:04] !repos | slimjim [00:04] slimjim: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [00:04] dr_willis: so what would i need to go do dual screening [00:04] DaemonLee: the webserver is configured incorrectly [00:04] fungihead: yes I do [00:04] I'll try one more time :) I'm having a problem with sshfs: when I mount a remote file system from the command line with the sshfs command it works fine, but when I add a line to fstab and mount it that way, my user can't read or write to the mount point. [00:04] DaemonLee: those pages are supposed to be executed on the webserver iirc.. not offered for download.. try checking the mime type on the server [00:04] the thing is this is not ubuntu it is a deb based distro but not ubuntu and not debian direct [00:05] slimjim: then this isn't the right channel... [00:05] the distro does not have a direct IRC support page [00:05] fungihead: I have an IP and it is in the DHCP ip list in my routewr [00:05] can it not be done thur terminal and cmd line [00:05] DaemonLee: is the php module loaded in apache? [00:05] I am wondering if I need to disable my nic to get wireless to worjk [00:05] slimjim: but unless your distro did something very stupid, ubottu gave you directions on adding repositories in ubuntu through the command line that should work [00:05] FoolsRun: isn't there a parametr for the fstab line that sets what users are allowed to do with the mounted stuff? [00:05] oCean_, Any advice on how to look? [00:06] ok just making sure htank jrip [00:06] aka: doubt it, shouldnt effect it [00:06] Slart: possibly, none of the tutorials on sshfs have mentioned it [00:06] I do have the libapache2-mod-php5 [00:06] FoolsRun: its getting ran by root when ran from fstab.. so i think theres some extra options you need to 'allow others' [00:06] Installed.

[00:13] O.o [00:13] hhelo [00:13] DaemonLee: did you read the troubleshooting section? Also, .phtml extensions may not work by default. Try .php [00:13] hello [00:13]

no [00:13]

it happens [00:13] what is the time to receive shipit cd ? [00:14]

php gets read as phtml [00:14] nonewmsgs: when u put the windows disk in it will give you a list of partitions, just lick on the windows one and ignore the others [00:14]

dunno why [00:14]

happened to me before [00:14] jrib, same with PHP extensions. [00:14]

i just reinstalled the damn os [00:14] H2: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:14] fungihead, it wont screw my grub [00:14] DaemonLee: I asked you to check if php was enabled [00:14] DaemonLee: Have you checked that? [00:15] nonewmsgs: ooh dunno, but the other partitions will be fine, i know that much [00:15] DaemonLee: because THAT module tells apache how to interpret .php .phtml and .php3 files [00:15] fungihead, thanks [00:15] oCean_, How do I do that? I'm confused. [00:15] nonewmsgs: and u can edit the grub menu somehow, read up a lil before u do it [00:15] thanks to whoever mentioned xchat-gnome a minute ago. thought xchat had just gone crappy since i last used it [00:15] DaemonLee: I told you [00:16] !u [00:16] U is the 21st letter of the modern latin alphabet. Neither 'U' or 'Ur' are words in the English language. Nor are 'R', 'Y', 'l8', 'Ne1' or 'Bcuz'. Mangled English is hard for non-native English speakers. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/abbreviations/ for more information. [00:16] DaemonLee: "sudo apache2ctl -M" [00:16] DaemonLee: that will show a list of all enabled apache modules. Look for "php5" in that list [00:16] Is it possible to use two different video cards with two different drivers? [00:16] sorry :P [00:17] How do you find your IP address in Ubuntu server [00:17] DaemonLee: that was half of what I said [00:17] FireFreek: ifconfig [00:17] Alrigh thanks === Daemon_ is now known as Ezekiel [00:17] oCean_, There is php5 in that list. [00:18] DaemonLee: Ok.. and the apache server has been restarted? [00:19] Yesh. [00:19] *Yeah. [00:19] DaemonLee: I think it is, otherwise the module was not listed [00:19] can some one instruct me on howto set the value of the JAVA_HOME and the JRE_HOME variables? [00:19] buttons1: VARIABLE=value [00:19] PLEASE HELP!! new install from LIVE CD boots up, shows language section, then after selecting language, screen goes blank (out of range) and Ubuntu login sound is heard.

[00:22] It does not work on my machine. [00:22] The environment variables JAVA_HOME and JRE_HOME are not set after I installed java. I need them so that I can use a program. [00:22] cipher42: no [00:22] buttons1: at least you are specific. [00:22] ah man [00:23] that's harsh [00:23] The program is called Liferay [00:23] buttons1: sudo update-alternatives --config java [00:23] bruce89: I tried that and it did not work [00:23] buttons1: or perhaps reinstalling Java [00:23] oCean_, any ideas [00:23] ? [00:24] DaemonLee: did you try what I said yet?@ [00:24] DaemonLee: Now I'm confused. It does NOT work on YOUR machine, but on others it works? [00:24] buttons1: sudo dpkg-reconfigure java_package_name [00:24] how to open an application/x-executable file [00:24] buttons1: Can you run other java applications or is this limited to a custom-installed one? [00:24] wrektjet: double click on it? [00:24] Hang on, and I can tell you. [00:24] buttons1: no, it's not in the alternatives method [00:24] buttons1: sometimes programs require JAVA_HOME to be set [00:25] buttons1: it should point to the root of your actual java installation. [00:25] I have not tried to run any other one [00:25] i d/l-ed this oprogram poweriso and extracted it. nuthin happens when i click it [00:25] cipher42: what were you asking anyway [00:25] oCean: can you tell me how to set the variable [00:25] wrektjet: what does it do? mount isos? [00:25] supposedly. and bin files [00:25] oCean_, Correct. It works on the Windows machine in my house, but not on my laptop. [00:25] http://www.poweriso.com/download.htm [00:25] At all. [00:25] !iso | wrektjet [00:25] wrektjet: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [00:25] buttons1: which java did you install? Like, I have java-6-sun installed, and the root of that installation is in /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre [00:25] wrektjet: if so, Nautilus can do that now [00:26] idk i had alot of trubble b4 with a bin file so i thought id try this tool [00:26] DaemonLee: ok, I missed that part. So the webserver is setup correctly. Then it's in the client. Maybe your browser settings. [00:26] !info bchunk | wrektjet [00:26] bchunk (source: bchunk): CD image format conversion from bin/cue to iso/cdr. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.2.0-7 (intrepid), package size 13 kB, installed size 72 kB [00:26] oCean: I installed the same one you installed. should JAVA_HOME be set to the same value as yours? [00:26] why removing bluez just screwed up so many things [00:27] i thought it was just a blutooth package [00:27] buttons1: Yes, I think that should work: "export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre" [00:27] sudo apt-get install bchunk? [00:27] thank you very much [00:27] i have the following problem. i have just installed wine and when i want to run a program, he says that the map ./wine isn't mine. [00:27] For some reason I can't install splashy, the package is broken [00:27] cipher42: you must have removed a lot more than you should have [00:28] dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/splashy_0.3.13-3ubuntu1_i386.deb (--unpack): [00:28] trying to overwrite `/etc/lsb-base-logging.sh', which is also in package lsb-base [00:28] Processing triggers for man-db ...

[00:28] buttons1: but that depends on how well the script is written. Sometimes that JAVA_HOME has to be set to the JAVA_ROOT/bin subdirectory, so you might have to test it [00:28] DaemonLee: have you cleared your cache as the wiki recommends? [00:28] what is the difference between aptitude and apt-get ? [00:28] !aptitude [00:28] aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. Like other APT front-ends, it can install/remove packages and their dependencies (on Dapper and earlier, however, only aptitude keeps track of unused dependencies). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptitudeSurvivalGuide [00:28] DaemonLee: well, I know a very rigorous way... remove (or rename) the .mozilla directory in your homedir. [00:29] oCean: do I need to use sudo when I set the variable [00:29] Heh, heh... [00:29] Jrib, thanks. [00:29] :D [00:29] DaemonLee: but that would also remove your bookmarks etc, etc [00:29] I missed that. [00:29] is there a way to generate a new default menu.lst file? [00:29] DaemonLee: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:29] because mine is messed up...

[01:41] yeah [01:41] yeah, its "%s" [01:41] uberNoober: what, the official Ubuntu package?

[01:42] bruce89: when i try updating the AV database [01:42] XPS_M1330: so like, bookmark "www.google.com?q=%s" with keyword 'g' and you can use "g (search term)" to search google [01:42] After plugging my iPod shuffle into my computer, USB no longer works.

I saw you can right click in a search webpage's textbox and create a search engine [01:44] uberNoober: not sure what the problem is really [01:44] idejmcd what happens when you try to play a dvd? [01:44] bruce89: is there anyway to remove a library [01:44] uberNoober: perhaps manually [01:44] bruce89: how? [01:44] i manual installed ubuntu in an extended partition with a 3 gb swap and i dont kno how to access ubuntu [01:44] bruce89: if you would please [01:45] uberNoober: so there's two versions of libclamav or something [01:45] grub is not installed i think [01:45] twolane: If you're still here, that worked great.

I thought it was more convoluted than that [01:46] uberNoober: then perhaps a sudo ldconfig to fix linking [01:46] bruce89: any additional parameteres to ldconfig [01:46] uberNoober: noop [01:47] uberNoober: uh, what's the problem? [01:47] bruce89: dang, no good...still there [01:48] uberNoober: remove all files similarly named to libclamav in /usr/local/lib [01:48] any hel[?

[01:49] ok [01:49] what is the most stable linux distro? [01:49] uberNoober: you should never delete something manually from /usr/lib; just use the package manager [01:49] coryshort: they all are rather stable.. depends on what you define stable as.. and what you do with it. [01:49] Can someone help? [01:49] slackware [01:49] crdlb: so how do i then remove this lib? [01:50] less cpu usage and less ram [01:50] nobody knows how I can specify the encoding in snownews? [01:50] crdlb: it was manually installed, and also it was /usr/local/lib [01:50] coryshort: Unless you are going to be using very unreliable hardware, all linux distros are very stable [01:50] coryshort: thats not a very common definmition of 'stable' then. :) [01:50] kematzy: For that you'd have to install each one manually using dpkg -i and in that case you'd have to be careful to install in the correct order to ensure dependencies are met. [01:50] Has anyone installed ubuntu on the aspire one? [01:50] coryshort: run fewer apps/less desktop/servies for taht.

[01:51] botto: You need to get it on a usb drive. [01:51] very [01:51] When I go to install ubuntu it goes through the load screen and my monitor just goes blank. Now I download Wubi and installed it too desktop SAME THING! [01:51] alot people say arch, slackware, and debian are the most stable [01:51] 刚做的系统，想学学 [01:51] but it all depneds on wha tyou want to do with the disrto. [01:51] have you had any issues with the top of the screen being shifted down? [01:51] coryshort: are you familiar with linux? [01:51] There is a black line at the top of the screen, after I update [01:51] yes i am [01:51] justinnfx: you need to set up the proper video card drivers would be my guess.. im guessing you have an ati card? [01:51] i'd recommend slackware [01:51] ive used over 20-30 distro's [01:51] Dr. Willis Yes [01:51] Using Archlinux right now. Its handy. [01:51] its intel 94 [01:51] well then you should know a stable distro by now lol [01:52] 945* [01:52] botto: I didn't have that problem [01:52] Hi trying everything possible, but now working; Firefox is segfaulting, any help please? [01:52] How do I set it up if I can not even get into it?? [01:52] justinnfx: check the forums for your exact video card. and the !ati bot factoid. ati's can be a pain [01:52] IntuitiveNipple: OK, not so good then. Bit sub-par really, if I've got 12 PCs to install and update. (Linux noob) [01:52] hi, can you help me with seting up openvpn? [01:52] justinnfx: you can install stuff via the recovery mode/command line. [01:52] Are we allowed to talk about ubuntu based distros in here? [01:52] crdlb: thanks for the idea....basically i just removed it from apt [01:52] debian lenny is really stable uses little to no cpu [01:52] how do i get to there? [01:52] botto: of course, it was for someone else who i was installing it, but they haven't said anything to me about it... its probably related to the screen resolution being non-standard (1024x600) [01:52] bruce89: thank you for your help [01:53] holyscott: if they're not part of the ubuntu archive, no [01:53] justinnfx: system boot menu has options for some rescue/recovery mode. [01:53] crdlb: thanks you as well [01:53] havent tried slackware or arch [01:53] <_VIM_> coryshort: using less CPU does not mean it's more stable [01:53] are you nuts [01:53] <_VIM_> some say yes [01:53] i cant get past hwere it ask you for your language [01:53] <_VIM_> :) [01:53] i dont get to the boot menu [01:53] botto: Try changing the screen resolution in you Preferences menu [01:53] i manual installed ubuntu in an extended partition with a 3 gb swap and i dont kno how to access ubuntu [01:53] grub is not installed i think [01:53] its also a dual boot with vista [01:53] yeah, its a refresh rate issue [01:53] any fixes? [01:54] justinnfx: hit enter perhaps? let it default.. or it shoudl time out.. unless its crashing very badly [01:54] gumbotron, re-install grub [01:54] kematzy: Like I said, apt-proxy, if they are networked. If you're install all packages at once you can tell dpkg to install every package in a directory using sudo dpkg -i _r /path/to/directory [01:54] because I have two of them on the one it works fine however on the other I get this problem [01:54] it just loads and loads and then the monitor turns off [01:54] !ati [01:54] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [01:54] Hi trying everything possible, but now working; Firefox is segfaulting, any help please?

Check the forums for your video card to learn what needs to be done , then learn how to boot the live cd, or rescue mode to get the stuff installed/done - i cant walk ya through it. Im not on a ubuntu box at this time. and i am going to work. good luck [01:58] on windows i connect with a motorola razr and i have the drivers but when i boot ubuntu its not registering or connecting correctly ... the packet data is not showing thru the phone like it should its stuck on dormant [01:58] _VIM_: will try [01:58] botto, can i pm u?

[02:01] botto: You should try copying the xorg.conf from the working one and putting it on the broken one [02:01] hi [02:01] wrektjet, close apps like update-manager, synaptic [02:01] Huufarted: Looking for a server, not a client.

[02:02] the xorg file has only got about 15 lines of uncommented config in it :) [02:02] but yeah [02:02] I did that [02:02] Huufarted: I'm pretty sure the filezilla-server is only for Window$ :-( [02:02] TwoToneSpirit, nevermind. Server is only Winblows. [02:02] huufarted: i used gparted and i didnt have an option to do that [02:03] Huufarted, ask #ubuntu-server [02:03] Gumbotron, gparted does offer the ability to create multiple partitions. Is there a reason you don't want to use the partition editor available when installing Ubuntu? [02:03] arvind_khadri, wrong person. I didn't need that info. [02:03] I got it the screen to work I booted in safe graphic.. But when I go to install its giving me an eroor No Root File System [02:04] What do I do [02:04] gumbotron, for creating partition, the mounted ones should be umounted [02:04] I'll soon find out [02:04] drwillis maybe? [02:04] Huufarted, sorry that was TwoToneSpirit [02:04] justinnfx: start over [02:04] TwoToneSpirit, ask in #ubuntu-server about how to have a ftp [02:05] Nautilus can do FTP by ze vay [02:05] huufarted: found a guide on the official ubuntu site and the one provided said i needed a mount point which i didnt kno what to do with that [02:06] gumbotron, mount point. Create an empty directory. For instance, mkdir /home. Then you set /home to be the new partition you create. [02:06] could someone give me some advice on whether or not i should setup my own email server (no experience) OR just use something like google apps?

[02:38] I get the feeling ubuntu doesn't like fglrx because it can't tell resolution from hardware testing [02:38] when i maximize my terminal and scroll through alot of text my system lags and i can see the screen refreshing, any idea how to resolve this? i have a radeon 9600 driver the proprietary drives installed [02:38] hi all, I installed xubuntu on a sony vaio rx550. It works except for problem with fan running at full speed and resolution max is 800 x 600. This same card (older nvidia agp) is capable of 1024 x768 and 1280x1024. I think I have a fix for fan problem, but how do I set the resolution higher than 800 x 600? (Must say I prefer 8.04 on this issue than 8.10). Any ideas? [02:38] <_VIM_> Nvidia and Linux have this........love affair...i'd chose Nvidia [02:38] justinfx: is this a dual boot? [02:38] chaorain: do you know how to get x to fix itself from recovery mode?

I don't know [02:39] justinfx: can you boot windows, d/l some cd's and reinstall [02:39] Eggbertx1: with aptitude [02:39] <_VIM_> Eggbertx1: you gotta get a Nvidia card first [02:39] Eggbertx1: you don't, then nvidia driver is for nvidia video cards [02:39] Can someone take a look at this screenshot and tell me what program this is that's running? It's a file manager that serves about the same function as Nautilus, I just don't know what it is. http://www.simplehelp.net/images/nbr/08.png [02:39] s/then/the/ [02:39] yes but I can't use nividia with ati card?

However, what about resolution issue? [02:40] Ecell, Should I do that now? [02:40] Huufarted, the update manager? [02:40] nvidia and ati cards are completely different [02:40] Excell, Should I do that now? [02:40] what's a driver better than fglrx that works with ati [02:40] Dante123: It is likely because the Vaio display panel doesn't report its resolution and capabilities via EDID to the xserver, so the default is used. It is a well-known problem and there is a work-around [02:40] you can do it any time [02:40] Scooma, it's not an update manager. Just a file manager. [02:40] Eggbertx1: there isn't one that's faster [02:40] Excell, BRB [02:40] http://www.distrotest.com/ [02:40] I have tried burning linux like 5 times it just wont wrok [02:40] what about one that will stop opengl flickering? [02:41] Eggbertx1: the open source radeon driver supports your card, but it's no better at OpenGL with compiz [02:41] Huufarted, you're running eeeubuntu... it's the menu interface [02:41] Huufarted: looks interesting.. almost kde 4.2 ish.. [02:41] the only way is if i boot into start installer in safe graphic [02:41] Eggbertx1: just turn off compiz [02:41] IntuitiveNipple where do I find the workaround?

[03:38] wrektjet: by the way .. ctrl+alt+backspace is NOT a reboot.. it's just a restart of the graphic system.

[03:41] most games have a windowed mode... you set that in the game or though some config file.... [03:41] Does anyone know if it is possible to have the TOggle rain effect in compiz to enable when the computer idles for a certain ammount of time [03:42] wolf: you mean, to use the rain effect as a screensaver? [03:42] i ran savage 2 on all high settings with 8800gts amd athlon 64 x2 and 8gb of ram [03:42] Gnea, sort of yeah [03:43] coryshort: in windows or ubuntu? [03:43] wolf: not directly.. not sure, but there might be a raindrop-type xscreensaver available [03:43] i was running linux mint 6 when i did it [03:44] Gnea, all that would need to be done would be something to execute ctrl+f9 wrhen gnome-screensaver is enabled [03:44] coryshort: is it a native install? [03:44] and i had compiz fusion on and it was still running nice [03:44] yeah [03:44] cool [03:45] wolf: hrm, I would imagine that it would invalidate the the screensaver at its most basic level - perhaps you could script it to run the raindrops program just before the screensaver kicks in...

[04:03] Guest82768: http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/End-user_documentation [04:03] Guest82768: the one nanotube just re-sent you [04:03] is there a way to re-route the system beep to only go through the speakers, regardless of if I have my headphones plugged in or not? [04:04] hey tritium [04:04] Hello, zaccour. [04:04] frosterr what kind of driver you using? [04:04] frosterrj I know what it does [04:04] tritium, do you know of an application where i can make my own im client easily? [04:04] it opens the windows [04:04] just want to use the ath5k, but cant figure out how I jacked it up.. [04:05] Guest82768: then you would know how to run it....its just an app [04:05] ezzieyguywuf1, sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and add the line "blacklist pcspkr" [04:05] hoe do I run it on terminal [04:05] ezzieyguywuf1, It's not quite what you asked for, but it's the closest I know of. [04:06] zaccour: nope, not any applications. If you wanted libraries to build your own client from, look at libpurple, or libtelepathy, around which other apps (pidgin and empathy) are built [04:06] i have an aspire one and I think the madwifi drivers are the best [04:06] frosterrj: did you install a different wifi assistant like wicd or wifi-radar? [04:06] ohzie: do you mind explaining exactly what that does? [04:06] Guest82768: you need to do some reading on your own. Then come back and ask questions. [04:06] ohzie: i'm guessing it disables something? [04:06] tritium, is it easy to do? [04:06] ezzieyguywuf1, It turns off the pcspkr module in the kernel, that causes the beep. It's not quite re-routing the sound, but like I said it's the closest I could come up with., [04:06] what do u mean [04:07] damnubuntu: just dont want the overhead of recompiling often...but...does it work for the -7 kernel? -11 I dont even get eth0 up [04:07] ohzie: will i hear any beeps at all? [04:07] zaccour: not likely [04:07] you have seen the issues with ath5k right? on the acer wiki page? [04:07] ezzieyguywuf1, It's possible that kernel module has some sort of configuration that allows you to tell it to use a sound server instead of the pc speaker [04:07] ezzieyguywuf1, With the directions I gave you, no. [04:07] Scunizi: no...but might have gotten a half a madwifi install going... [04:07] yeah it works great [04:07] Can someone point me to good documentation for setting up a bluetooth keyboard/mouse in 8.10? Everything I find is old. [04:07] okay, Ubuntu. Please, somebody help me understand why it is apparently so difficult to get sound working reliably in Linux? [04:07] ohzie: thanks for the help, but unfortunately I do not wish to disable the system beep completely. i feel it is useful [04:08] damnubuntu: yep, but I'm only using wep :( [04:08] how do i make my own irc chat and get the html code? [04:08] frosterrj: if that's there and network manager they might be conflicting. [04:08] where can i get a deb for the latest (2.26) version of evolution? [04:08] zaccour: what html code? [04:08] zaccour: an IM client running in flash or java isn't really ubuntu-specific since it runs on the client anyway [04:08] wolter: it'll be in jaunty [04:08] Scunizi: how do I know if madwifi junk still left? [04:08] tritium, as well as pidgin-2.5.5 ? [04:08] <_VIM_> !ppa | wolter (maybe here)...

[04:09] wolter: yes [04:09] frosterrj: I've no idea.. sorry [04:09] Scunizi: thx... [04:09] zaccour: you don't use html for programming an irc client.

[04:12] Guest82768: we've given you information on that.

VBOX is all about gui builing of virtual machines... [04:13] istarnes, yes. but i need ^g ;/ [04:13] that's why its EASY! [04:13] I AM NEW TO ALL OF THIS [04:13] frosterrj: Im guessing that network manager isn't showing wireless networks either right? [04:13] all u don't get that [04:13] damnubuntu: NADA! [04:14] Guest82768: we do get that and we have been giving you information for people who want to use virtualbox [04:14] damnubuntu: i cant get network manager to even know there's a card in the machine [04:14] Guest82768: we asked you not to use all-caps. We also gave you information on virtualbox. have you read any of it yet? [04:14] Guest82768: we get you want someone to hold your had and walk you step by step.

[04:17] jedimind: mencoder, or a frontend to it [04:17] kematzy: the driver is located at System>Admin>Hardware drivers [04:18] any progs for converting mp4 to wave or aiff [04:18] for xubuntu [04:18] ? [04:18] crdlb: nope, I did in previous install, but it was quite buggy, so naively (??) thought I could avoid it this time. [04:18] frosterrj: check 'lsmod | grep ath'; does it contain ath5k and/or ath_pci? [04:19] kematzy: if you're going to use nv, you'll probably need a monitor modeline [04:19] crdlb: do you know what the gui version of it is called? i didnt yield any results in the add/remove apps package man [04:19] crdlb: somehow got nothing right now.... [04:19] <`brandon> can someone help me deal with my wireless Internet please? [04:20] crdlb: what should it be? [04:20] frosterrj: ok, what happens if you 'sudo modprobe ath5k'? [04:20] Scunizi: Yeah, it recommends only v.177 but the nvidia site has v180, so not sure which I should install. [04:20] crdlb: module not found,.,, [04:20] kematzy: for your card the 173 or 177 should work fine.. [04:21] crdlb: "monitor modeline" == ????? [04:21] crdlb: I got acer_wmi though! woohooo! not! [04:21] kematzy, what card again? [04:21] Scunizi: when i had it installed previously (yesterday) the titlebars of windows was dissapprareing and other odd things. not so good [04:22] 173 is for legacy cards like the 5200go [04:22] g4lt-lappy: nvidia GeForce 6150SE nForce 430 [04:22] in an eMachines el1200 [04:22] kematzy, you should be golden with either 180 or 177. your choice really [04:22] desktop [04:22] <`brandon> okay what do i type for apt-get? [04:23] brandon sudo apt-get install nvidia-kernel-180 [04:23] kematzy: if you don't want to enable the nvidia driver, check your /var/log/Xorg.0.log to make sure it contains "nv_drv.so" [04:23] kematzy: with the 177 driver? try the 173 driver.. the only time to use the one off the nvidia site is if your motherboard chipset causes issues. Mine does (gforce 8200 chipset and vid card) so the 180.29 works well for me. [04:23] bah, sorry, conflated convos [04:23] Has anyone here used rsync for creating backups on external hard drives? [04:23] g4lt-lappy: so installing proprietary driver is OK? [04:23] hi, I'm having trouble with my webcam. I now there's a command that will show some audio and video settings and something like a preview of the webcam, does anyone knows that command? [04:23] frosterrj: turn off restricted drivers and try sudo aptitude install linux-backports-modules-intrepid in terminal [04:23] ohzie, yes. [04:24] kematzy, the only issue is one of politics. if you don't like closed drivers, don't use them [04:24] my server === eric_ is now known as Etherael [04:24] dan457, Have you ever used grsync? It's a gtk frontend for rsync. I want to make a direct copy of the directory, recursively, and I want it to be absolutely identical and check file integrity. Do you know what options I would have to pass? === defcon is now known as Guest565 [04:25] kematzy: its perfectly legal and everything - except some people want to be able to tinker with the source code and stuff, which you cannot do with a closed source driver [04:25] damnubuntu: that's already done - backports via sources manager, just turned off restricted. Reloaded ath_pci and ath_hal (but thats in my restricted modules common blacklist) so I guess I should kill it [04:25] kematzy: if you dont care about tinkering with the sources (like 99.99999% of the folk out there) install the proprietary driver [04:25] ohzie, I made my own script, have not tried it with a gui, but should work as long as the external drive is already mounted. [04:26] damnubuntu: robert@AAo:~$ sudo rmmod ath_hal [04:26] ERROR: Module ath_hal is in use by ath_pci [04:26] ohzie, in my case, I had to script it to make sure the drive was mounted/dismounted properly. [04:26] Cpudan80: g4lt-lappy thanks. I'm more concerned with the buggy apperance. And **Definitely do NOT** want to fiddle with sources ;) [04:26] dan457, If I'm rsyncing small files to a fat32 disc, should I worry about the "--modify-window" tag? [04:27] frosterrj: blacklist ath_pci and reboot [04:27] kematzy: ubuntu cant include the closed source by default for legal reasons [04:27] dan457, they're not overly huge files. Just MP3's [04:27] kematzy: you mean you dont want to compile your own kernel and rewrite how your gfx card handles interrupts??!??!?? [04:27] ohzie, give it a try with the default options, don't worry about messing with it overmuch unless it doesn't do what you wanted. then you know what to look at changing. [04:27] damnubuntu: where/which file? [04:27] Hey, anyone get openchrome 3d working [04:27] it's a tricky one [04:27] hi [04:28] dan457, Sweet. Are there any options that can modify the source? I don't want it to modify the source at all. [04:28] why when i install a new application through apt get, i don't see its shortcut in my main menu? === ScottG_ is now known as ScottG [04:28] has anyone been able to resolve ath_pci/ath5k freezing on load? [04:28] frosterrj: /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common [04:28] Cpudan80: exactly !! I'm a dabbling long time Mac user, that hates fiddling with obscure things. (even though I'm quite happy on the CLI) [04:28] ohzie, just set your source and destination and let it rip. if something didn't work, come back and we'll see if it can be fixed. [04:29] kk [04:29] damnubuntu: be right back.....famous last words! === ScottG is now known as ScottG489 === ScottG489 is now known as ScottG [04:29] kematzy, well, either nvidia-kernel package is a drop in, just plug and play from your end. from other ends, it's a bit more...complicated [04:30] any ideas? [04:30] ttl: which application? some apps just don't come with a menu item... [04:31] like kismet and wireshark [04:31] jedimind: there are several guis, but I haven't used any of them [04:31] jedimind: the mencoder command line is not that hard to use, tbh [04:31] so how start them after installation? [04:31] yeah i already figured it out [04:31] thanks crdlb, appreciated [04:31] wireshark has a gui, besides the point tho [04:31] ttl: what is the name of the app you installed? [04:32] ttl: hit alt-f2 and type in "kismet" or "wireshark" (or whatever else you want to start) [04:32] so, any good CLI orthodotx file manager reccomendations? [04:32] besides obvious midnight commander, that is [04:32] ttl: (alt-f2 will work on gnome, don't know the equivalent for kde... you could always just fire up a terminal and enter the command, too.) [04:32] the alternative is exactly the same [04:32] alt-f2 [04:33] iam using neither both. i use fluxbox [04:33] does anyone know what is the backend/platform that ubuntu forums runs on? [04:33] ttl: ah, ok, well... in that case, fire up a terminal, if alt-f2 doesn't work. and in the terminal enter command === parkerhuggins is now known as parkerhiggins [04:34] agent47a: as far as OS - don't know, but probably linux ;) as far as the forum software, they use vbulletin, iirc [04:34] nanotube: thanks! [04:35] agent47a: np :) [04:35] dan457, Okay, at 18% it encountered a file that caused a problem and the entire process failed. :[ Is there any way to make it skip that file and try the next one? [04:36] ohzie, in rsync yes, in the gui? I dunno, like I said, have not used that one.

[04:37] !jp [04:37] !packages [04:37] 日本語の場合は #ubuntu-jp または #kubuntu-jp を参照して下さい [04:37] You can browse and search for Ubuntu packages using !Synaptic, !Adept, "apt-cache search ", or online at http://packages.ubuntu.com - Ubuntu has about 20000 packages available, so please *search* for an official package before installing things in awkward ways! [04:37] `brandon: why not just use the one in the repo's? [04:37] 晕 [04:37] `brandon: btw, it would be much easier to use the version in the repositories. Tey sudo aptitude install xchat [04:37] <`brandon> repo's? [04:37] `brandon: tar -xvjf file.tar.bz2 [04:37] anyone willing to help me with a samba problem? [04:37] shinyhat: Not unless you describe the problem more thuroughly. [04:37] ShinyHat: we don't know yet [04:37] ShinyHat: state your problem, and if people have suggestions, we can help [04:38] ShinyHat: I can't dance [04:38] twolane: can you sing? [04:38] lol @ twolane [04:38] ShinyHat: kidding, sorry, channel, et al [04:38] oh, right... [04:38] !ask | shinyhat [04:38] shinyhat: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [04:39] i can't seem to get vlc to play media from a shared folder on an xp machine [04:39] hey i am trying to run applet programs in eclipse and its not running...can anyone help me on this issue [04:39] ohzie, I ran one I downloaded and it worked with no errors..... what file is it sticking on? [04:39] damnubuntu: no dice. even tried putting back ath_hal is blacklist and madwifi. nothingworked [04:39] dan457, "hello.mp3" :) [04:39] shinyhat: can you copy it localy from the share? [04:39] blueeagl1: yes [04:40] ohzie, what is the exact error message? [04:40] hi everyone [04:40] Scunizi: sorry, missed your answer. the problem was with the 177 driver. Now when I try to use the "Hardware Drivers" thing, it found 173 & 177 (rec) but when i clicked on Activate it just got stuck there. I quit the whole thing and tried again, and now it's stuck in the "searching for..." window. does have internet access though. Any ideas of how to fix this. [04:40] ShinyHat: what kind of error do you get, how did you mount it? [04:40] dan457, I think my usb failed. [04:40] <`brandon> I need help again http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/136461/ [04:40] dan457, I have one of those usb hard drives that sometimes requires you remove ehci_hcd. I think that was my issue. >:| [04:40] anyone here know a good guide to get java working in x64 ubuntu firefox [04:40] shinyhat: I think I had the same problem when I used samba. Unfortunately I solved it by installing nfs-drivers for windows so I can't help you there. [04:40] `brandon: why are you building xchat from source? [04:41] `brandon: is build-essentials installed [04:41] ohzie, prob. it. [04:41] can someone pastebin clean install /etc/modules and linux restricted modules common for Intrepid on Aspire One? [04:41] i get no error, i just can't seem to locate the folder anywhere when i go to add a directory to vlc [04:41] <`brandon> because i do not [04:41] frosterrj: Okay man this will make it work out of the box with ath5k add jaunty's repositorys in synapti. then get the 2.6.28.6 kernel [04:41] ohzie, need a reliable drive or any backup you run will have issues. [04:41] <`brandon> no anything else [04:41] kematzy: use synaptic and look for the nvidia drivers and see if they are actually installed awaiting activation. if the activation box is stuck you can force quit it. [04:41] ShinyHat: how do you mount it? [04:41] `brandon: you can install a pre-build version of xchat using sudo apt-get install xchat [04:41] tritium, do you have jaunty? [04:41] *pre-built [04:42] damnubuntu: how to do that? check intrepid proposed? [04:42] Scunizi: OK, thanks will try that. did a restart now [04:42] musikgoat: places>network [04:42] musikgoat; hey i am trying to run applet programs in eclipse and its not running... [04:42] dan457, Definitely. :D I want to upgrade my computer soon. Been putting it off a long time. This thing only has one core and doesn't have a single sata drive in it. Let's not even talk about PCI-E. :) [04:42] `brandon: lstarnes makes a good point. [04:42] tritium, because if you do, i would like to know if evolution 2.26 automatically adds contacts whose names are specified while sending a mesage [04:42] <`brandon> i am doing it right now [04:43] musikgoat: all the shared machines show up there, and i can access all the shared folders [04:43] <`brandon> where can i find it after it is done [04:43] ohzie, well, rsync is good at pickin up where it left off, try and get as good a connection as you can and keep running it... you will get them all eventualy. [04:43] `brandon: menu internet [04:43] `brandon: a launcher for it can be found in Applications>Internet [04:43] shinyhat: You need to mount the shares to a local mount point then just access it like any other file. [04:43] <`brandon> yeah i just saw that [04:44] musikgoat|main; hey i am trying to run applet programs in eclipse and its not running... [04:44] ShinyHat: that is nautilus or gnome virtual file system connection, i'm looking to see if there is a symlink somewhere === DBO is now known as JBO [04:44] shinyhat: if you use kde you can use smb://computer/share me thinks. === JBO is now known as DBO [04:44] frosterrj: http://martino2k6.wordpress.com/2009/03/03/how-to-install-a-jaunty-jackalope-kernel-in-intrepid-ibex/ [04:44] shinyhat: not sure if gnome supports that tho. [04:44] ShinyHat: ok its in ~/.gvfs [04:44] Aight. Question. I'm trying to find an application (Media Player) that has a Web Frontend, and I can change the songs locally playing on the machine through that machine's own speakers. Is there an application that can do this? [04:45] but you can also learn to do more permanent mounts via "mount" or smbmount [04:45] daemonlee: Yes. [04:45] Make sure you dont get 2.6.28.7 it's still in the unstable stages on the acer. [04:45] ShinyHat: ^^ [04:45] anyone know an ubuntu based NAS distro? [04:45] BlueEagl1, Does it have a name? [04:45] That would make my life so much easier, FreeNAS is so barebones. [04:45] blueeagle1: if i type smb://computer/share into ff i can see all the contents, and i tried adding a line to fstab, but no dice [04:45] daemonlee: Several. === gaintsura_ is now known as gaintsura [04:45] shinyhat: man smbmount [04:45] BlueEagl1, Can you enlighten me to a few? [04:46] <`brandon> where do i go with help with compiz [04:46] <`brandon> ? [04:46] also make sure you reboot for the new kernel to take effect [04:46] rashed2020: i use a debian based distro on my nas, but its custom for buffalo, i'm not sure of any ubuntu based nas distros [04:46] DaemonLee: mpd + one of its numerous web frontends (eg phpmp) [04:47] virtualbox 2.1.4 ose debs? [04:47] blueeagle1: man smbmount? [04:47] crdlb: Are there any that don't rely off MPD? [04:47] racecar56: on vbox's website [04:47] musikgoat|main: Is there an x86 version? It doesn't have to be ubuntu based, I meant to say linux based. Don't have enough experience with *BSD [04:47] shinyhat: open a terminal and type: man smbmount [04:47] DaemonLee: what's wrong with mpd? [04:47] !man | shinyhat [04:47] shinyhat: The "man" command brings up the Linux manual pages for the command you're interested in. Try "man intro" at the command line, or see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [04:47] !smbmount | ShinyHat [04:47] Sorry, I don't know anything about smbmount [04:47] !mount | shinyha [04:47] shinyha: For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted or !QtParted - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap [04:48] I keep on getting permission denied errors with the damn thing. [04:48] ;) [04:48] It doesn't play nice at all with my mobile HDD. [04:48] rashed2020: no its arm based [04:48] musikgoat|main, i believe the command is smbmnt [04:48] DaemonLee: when you do what? [04:48] Titan8990: no its smbmount, but the bot doesn't have a factoid about it [04:48] <`brandon> how do i unzip a zip file? [04:48] <`brandon> tar z filename.zip [04:49] DaemonLee: xmms2 has a similar concept, and there is probsbly a web frontend for it [04:49] `brandon: no, use unzip [04:49] <`brandon> how do i unzip? [04:49] i dont see any debs for ose [04:49] `brandon: unzip file.zip [04:49] `brandon: you may need to install the unzip package first [04:49] the gui has an achrive utility build in that will handle those [04:49] musikgoat|main: damn =/ Any other distros you can name off the top of your head? [04:50] so where are debs for virtualbox 2.1.4 ose? [04:50] daemonlee: I would if I could remember them. Googling now. [04:50] Thank you, BlueEagl1 [04:50] rashed2020: for an x86 based nas? [04:50] racecar56: http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads pick your flavor [04:50] Yep [04:50] daemonlee: Still you could just run pulseaudio and redirect the sound to the other machine. ;) [04:51] racecar56: ose.. is that the one that is cripled with no usb support.. then it's in the repos.. otherwise get it off the site [04:51] Scunizi just change non-free in the repos to free? [04:51] rashed2020 what brand? [04:51] daemonlee: http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Debian/2007-01/msg00126.html [04:51] rashed2020 or model [04:51] Just a white box [04:52] BlueEagl1, here's the scenario. I'm on Machine A. Machine B is my server. I want to pick a song that resides on a mobile HDD connected to machine B and have it play through Machine B's speakers. I want to be able to control the song, volume on Machine A. [04:52] anyone familiar at all with the kworld 120 tuner card? one place says it works, ubuntu says nothing about it [04:52] been trying to get this to work for hours now [04:52] racecar56: non free is on their site and has usb support.. free is in the repos with no usb support.. your pick [04:52] oh... um then you can really throw anything on it... if its just a normal system, try dsl or even ubuntu server (no desktop) [04:53] rashed2020^^ [04:53] Great, thanks. [04:53] Just out of interest, what are you using for your terastation? [04:53] Freelink? [04:53] daemonlee: Yeah, I got that. Not sure if it's a sane thing to want to do though. ;) === BlueEagl1 is now known as BlueEagle [04:54] rashed2020, no its a debian armel build, freelink isn't well developed yet [04:54] rashed2020 but thats getting "ot" [04:54] BlueEagle, I'm just looking for a turn-key solution and seems simple. [04:55] hey i have installed botyh openjdk and sun-java and when i ran applet program its executing from the openjdk [04:55] what is a mount point and what am i supposed to ut in the option it gives me when manual installin === lacqui_ is now known as lacqui [04:55] hey i have installed both openjdk and sun-java and when i ran applet program its executing from the openjdk but i want eclipse to execute using sun-java [04:55] hmm nothing... mythtv says is works, ubuntu says zilch on the hardware [04:56] took like 20 seconds to get it running in win7, about 3.5 hours and nothing on this [04:56] cplab: you have to change it with update-java-alternatives [04:56] or something to that effect [04:56] daemonlee: Well, the trouble with such a setup is that the webserver would need to be allowed access to the mediaplayer and/or audio hardware, and that's not what I would concider a common setup. But I do see that this might be desireable in some cases. Not sure what the security implications would be of such a setup though. [04:56] caeroe: check out #mythtv.. they're pretty responsive usually [04:56] they say nothing [04:56] cplab2-57: "update-alternative --config java [04:56] thanks though [04:56] thats the one [04:56] :) [04:57] daemonlee: ie. you would also heed the web server to be able to read the music collection and you would need a way to limit outside access to said server. [04:57] musikgoat|main; i just have to run this in terminal?? [04:57] cplab2-57: yes [04:57] cplab2-57: it gives you a choice of what reference to java to use [04:57] BlueEagle: Hmm... Yeah, I know. I imagine a SQL database would come into play for cataloging the music collection. [04:58] musikgoat|main; its shwoing that update-alternative command not found [04:58] I dunno. It'd be nice to see, but doubtful to see. [04:58] cplab2-57: sorry, update-alternatives [04:58] what is a mount point and what am i supposed to ut in the option it gives me when manual installin ubuntu? [04:59] mrsteveman1 and my suggestions together make the right one :-P [04:59] blueeagle: ok, so adding the line "//computer/share /media/mount cifs guest,uid=1000,iocharset=utf8,codepage=unicode,unicode 0 0" to fstab produces: "mount error: could not find target server. TCP name computer/share not found No ip address specified and hostname not found" [05:00] daemonlee: The file system would be able to handle that just aswell me thinks. I am thinking a front-end like kplaylist.com but it would manipulate a local process for playing., [05:00] musikgoat|main' i hope you remember me [05:00] sams_club: when manually installing, the important partitions to create are root and swap, the location where they are referenced is a mount point. the root filesystem is mounted to / [05:00] I am the founder of a new startup and our entire company runs on Linux. We need to implement a local intranet chat program. can any one help me? [05:00] shinyhat: You would obviously need to change "comptuer" with the name of the computer and "share" with the name of the share like //loke/media [05:00] !home | sams_club, This might be a useful additional mount point [05:00] sams_club, This might be a useful additional mount point: Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [05:01] blueeagle: lol, yeah i used the appropriate names [05:01] has anyone had any luck figuring out whats up with ath_pci/ath5k freezing on load? [05:01] I am the founder of a new startup and our entire company runs on Linux. We need to implement a local intranet chat program. can any one help me? [05:01] run your own private chat server? [05:01] shinyhat: are you allowed to access them as guest? [05:01] sams_club: the link isn't quite what you want, but separating home is helpful for backups and upgrades go bad and other things [05:01] dch__: I went with a new snapshot of madwifi to fix that on my acer netbook [05:02] hi [05:02] krishnan: one word, jabber [05:02] i was partitionin with gparted and i never saw the mount point option. when i finished i wasnt able to access ubuntu [05:02] blueeagle: isn't that what i access them as through places>network? [05:02] Dulak: just compiled madwifi from the newest sources about an hour ago, no go :( [05:02] krishnan: but i cant help set it up [05:02] is it a good idea to use gparted? [05:02] dch__: sucks, it fixed it on mine [05:02] shinyhat: I would assume that your username would be sendt by default. [05:02] shinyhat: But I need to hit the shower. Work in 2h [05:02] how can i repair my bootloader grub after installing windows? [05:02] ubuntu 8.1 comes packaged with gparted right ? [05:02] krishnan, sounds like a jabber server to me. [05:03] blueeagle: ok, thanks :) [05:03] sams_club: when you are instaling, it gives you the choice of guided partitioning, and manual, sounds like you chose that [05:03] sams_club: how did you install? [05:03] phaer: can u give me more details [05:04] krishnan, do you know the jabber/xmpp protocol? its [05:04] no i booted live cd and used gparted since i saw a guide on the ubuntu site bout partitioninand wanted to use the same partitiioner [05:04] ! jabber [05:04] jabber is a free and open source instant messaging protocol, unlike MSN and AIM. Supporting clients on Linux: Kopete (KDE), Pidgin (GNOME). For more info see http://www.jabber.org [05:04] krishnan: that is a big project, i would reference some google instructions on that [05:04] dont kno if that was supposed to install it but i did it [05:05] phaer: no. but iam searching the same in google [05:05] krishnan, you can easily install your own server for it. just search for "ejabberd" or "jabber" in general. [05:05] sams_club: well the live cd, when you actually choose the install option, guides you through the partitioning [05:05] musikgoat: you up to helping a newb like myself with this network issue? :) [05:06] yea but i chose to let ubuntu install by using its partition where you can slide the bar to choose hhow big and small you want it to be [05:06] krishnan, one sec, i'm just updating my firefox ;) [05:06] ShinyHat: i missed any response to the point that the temporary samba mount locations when you connect through "network" are stored in your home directory under the folder .gvfs [05:06] and vista detected something wrong with the hd and messed up my install after it did something like error checkin [05:07] dont remember [05:07] musikgoat: oh, i'm sorry.. i'll look for that file right now.... [05:07] i then used vista disk management and know hve 120gb free space [05:07] sams_club: dual booting? one hard drive or two? [05:07] one [05:07] musikgoat|main; can you check this http://paste.ubuntu.com/136471/ [05:07] sorry tryin to do dual boot [05:08] krishnan, i can suggest this one http://www.process-one.net/en/ejabberd/ [05:08] with vista [05:08] cplab2-57: i'm not a java programmer on this channel. [05:08] sams_club: you want to create separate partitions [05:08] yes [05:09] dont want to use wubi [05:09] if you were gettin to that [05:09] at* [05:09] sams_club: heh, thats one option, but i think vista has a disk shrinking option [05:10] sams_club: i don't know how vista reacts to gparted modifications to the filesystem and partition table [05:10] sams_club: http://apcmag.com/how_to_dualboot_vista_with_linux_vista_installed_first.htm?page=2 [05:10] this is so sad.. my ubuntu install doesn't reckognize any of my lan cards [05:10] no i hrunk the isk from 250 gb to 80 for vista === pyrak_ is now known as pyrak [05:11] musikgoat|main; the fact is that its a downloaded program and i am trying to make it use the sun-java...i followed your previous instruction but its showing me errors from libjcj...if you check at the bottom you will see the errors... [05:11] how do I uninstall swfdec in firefox and install gnash? [05:11] how do i configure a WINE to a windows based program [05:11] psychic: #wine [05:11] cplab2-57: i know how to configure ubuntu to use different java implementations, i'm not familiar beyond that [05:12] musikgoat: awesome! so playing media from the shared folder inside .gvfs in vlc works- now is there any way to make that share a little more accessible for opening directories in vlc? [05:12] sams_club: oh, then during the live install, you can select manual partitioning, its within a few steps of the install, you can keep vista on the first partition, and create a couple more, at least two, one for / and one smaller one for swap [05:12] ShinyHat: install smbmount "sudo apt-get install smbmount" === Guest565 is now known as _defcon [05:12] i heard that using the continous free space option isnt really a good idea [05:13] musikgoat|main; just at the bottom of the link i provided just check the errors [05:13] sams_club: i'm not familiar with that [05:13] musikgoat|main; it shows libjcj [05:13] how do i seperate or make another part for /home [05:14] hello [05:14] or which ever you said [05:14] cplab2-57-> use update-alternatives to get a correct symlink [05:14] sams_club: hello my dear friend, how you been? [05:14] brous-ree; yes of course i used that... [05:14] hello? [05:15] sams_club: there is a little version of gparted in the installer, when you select manual install, if you can do it while on irc that would be easiest but there are many guides online for exact button clicks [05:15] musikgoat: "E: Couldn't find package smbmount" [05:15] brous-ree; but when i am executing an applet program i get errors just check here http://paste.ubuntu.com/136471/ [05:15] you i folllowed one on the main site and now i have this dilema [05:15] brous-ree; at the end of the page i have put up the errors [05:15] dfhdfhfh [05:15] cplab2-57: can you try uninstalling libgjc?

[05:16] cplab2-57-> its an environment variable just like your $PATH [05:16] yea usin seperate laptop to chat [05:17] brous-ree; i actually have no idea about that [05:17] fghdfh [05:17] cplab2-57-> well you need to look at your class notes for system settings, [05:17] Hello, nice people.

[05:21] sams_club: ok, so 10G or so for / and the rest for /home if you like to keep alot of media in your personal directories [05:21] kematzy: perhaps it's better that you walk away from the computer for awhile and do something more relaxing, then come back to it and ask for help again at that time... unless you're under some sort of time constraint [05:21] sams_club: give or take, depending on your use [05:21] pradyumna, yeah. Why? [05:21] how do i know which mirror sudo apt-get is using? it turns out there's a mirror right on my school network. can i be confident that it is smart enough to know that? [05:22] I just regenerated my ssh host keys with ssh-keygen, not ssh-keygen2. Assuming a reasonably modern system (Ubuntu Hardy), would this generate proper ssh2-style keys? [05:22] sams_club: 20 / 60 or whatever [05:22] may be a issue with the drivers [05:22] so 20 for / [05:22] pradyumna, what drivers should I use, then? [05:22] sams_club: that will give you breathing room, lots of it [05:22] the OS itself could be comfortable on 5GB with breathing room (to install more stuff) [05:22] do u haveif u dont use high end graphics then i rec disabling them [05:23] ah alright is that recommended or how bout 15 [05:23] musikgoat|main: Yea, I've had my 5 GB root partition for months without ever really feeling cramped. [05:23] Gnea: yes, in an ideal world I could walk away, but can't now. needed to have this done yesterday afternoon, now 24 hrs later, so in deep dodo. I'm calm, if I can just get someone to explain clearly what I need to do. [05:23] Given that my graphics card is an NVIDIA 8800GTS, which drivers should I use for best performance? [05:23] trimeta: right [05:23] ok so 10 or 15? [05:23] Issue - scrolling in firefox is very clunky. [05:24] sams_club: yup [05:24] gnea, i got the screenshot how can i share with u? [05:24] elad, btw do u have desktop effects enabled? [05:24] 10?, 15? [05:24] kematzy: fair enough! :) let's start with where you're at right now - you said you reinstalled XP. is XP the current OS on the system? also, what do you hope to accomplish by installing Ubuntu? [05:24] pradyumna, no. [05:24] sams_club: 12.5 [05:24] :-P [05:24] ah ok [05:24] lol [05:24] whou: http://imageshack.us/ [05:24] thanks for everythin [05:24] elad, any problems in nautilus [05:25] will try [05:25] how do I uninstall swfdec in firefox and install gnash? [05:25] sams_club: yw, see ya, good luck [05:25] musikgoat|main; i uninstalled as you said and when i executed it saying missing jre file [05:25] will i need to install grub my self [05:25] Gnea: ok thanks just a sec [05:25] netbook-launcher looks downright *perfect* for my autistic 12yo....I've got a box ready for him, diskless, netboots a RO 8.10 image with a C-O-W overlay......all I need now is to make netbook-launcher work without requiring glx and I'm set. Any advice appreciated. [05:25] No. [05:25] Given that my graphics card is an NVIDIA 8800GTS, which drivers should I use for best performance? [05:25] elad: You weren't prompted by ubuntu to use the hardware drivers it suggested? [05:25] cplab2-57: so the applet doesn't know how to simply call java, maybe its libgjc dependant [05:25] jimdb, I'm using the ones it has suggested. 177 something. [05:25] will i need to install grub my self [05:25] elad, the best drivers are the ones the restricted drivers manager mautomatically select === tritium_ is now known as tritium [05:26] cplab2-57: have you considered googling about java $CLASSPATH as someone else had mentioned? [05:26] Those are the nvidia vendor drivers [05:26] wolter: I do, but I don't use evolution currently. [05:27] How do I cancel the delay of drop-down menus? [05:27] tritium, oh. [05:27] tritium, what do you use? [05:27] Gnea: http://yfrog.com/0mscreenshotmlup [05:27] elad: Those aren't the latest from nvidia but they are the proprietary drivers nonethless. You could go to nvisias sit and download for install the latest. [05:28] Nvidias site* [05:28] wolter: gmail [05:28] jimdb, installing their latest hasn't worked out well for me the last time. X wouldn't start. [05:28] tritium, no client? [05:28] elad, i recommend letting the driver manager select the driver automatically. [05:29] [Alsamixer] What does the currently selected mixer "Item" 'Master' mean or designate? [05:29] mla [05:29] wolter: no, gmail's IMAP implementation leaves much to be desired. [05:29] Gnea: btw this thing started after I installed the Compiz thing [05:29] elad: I have the same prob. But that is the real question you should be asking in here [05:30] bullgard4: depending upon what you are looking at, it is either signifying which mixer channel you are adjusting the level/gain of, or which input is selected for recording purposes [05:30] Gnea: I got an eMachines el1200 desktop with LINUX on it, but then couldn't get that running, so installed Ubuntu over it. Had most things running yesterday lunch time, then suddenly things started to go haywire. After that I was in rescue mode. Installed XP **only** to see IF there was some issues with the Nvidia graphics. Works in XP. Reinstalled Ubuntu 8.10 from LIVE CD this morning, on a separate partition. (50/50 split) and has updated it to latest [05:30] whou: awesome. let's go step-by-step here... let's start by turning compiz off (just put it into regular graphics mode) [05:31] Gnea: ok done - whoa its back - but no effects? [05:31] can anyone tell me a good firewall except firestarter [05:31] elad: I was successfulngetting the latest tobinstall on a clean install of ubuntu, but not on an olde ubuntu install with the newest drivers [05:32] firestarter isnt a firewall [05:32] its a frontend to the built in one [05:32] ok thanks for the info [05:32] np [05:32] Gnea: so I can't use compiz now? i was planning on showing the desktop bling bling to my sister so i could convince her to use ubuntu [05:32] EriK2: No, sir. I designated clearly an object: the 'Master'. The Master is a technical term (terminus technicus) in AlsaMixer. Can you tell me what AlsaMixer weans by 'Master'? [05:32] tritium, just curious: why? [05:32] kematzy: alright, it sounds like you've had quite the ordeal with this system. I'm going to just come out and tell you right now, because there's no other way to say it really, and my intention is not to discourage you, but emachines... suck. a lot. they are probably the worst consumer products ever made. aside from that, they can be managed to work, but very carefully. [05:32] nimon iptables? [05:32] i was here once and i had this recommendation from someone it was a firewall that was in my preferences it had a blue shield [05:32] but i forgot the name [05:33] jimdb, so the problem is in the interaction with the 177-version installed? [05:33] kematzy: You open the case to that and look for burst capacitors? [05:33] EriK2: s/weans/means [05:33] jimdb, meaning, if I hadn't installed the 177, I could have installed nvidia's latest without a hitch? [05:33] nimon maybe try shorewall? [05:33] whou: you might want to try changing to something other than stardust (like the default) [05:33] elad: How new is your current install? [05:33] what is the best firewall for ubuntu 8.04 with a graphic interface [05:33] firestarter [05:34] how can I make a program autostart in gnome but not in other windows managers? [05:34] there is nothing else required [05:34] ninom: You don't need one. [05:34] kematzy: also, have you tried 8.04? [05:34] heck, for the most part, you can ignore it [05:34] but if you want a front end, firestarter is the way to go [05:34] jimdb, fresh of the CD. [05:34] *off [05:34] Gnea: I just realised eMachines are just SH@T, but too late. The client wanted a tiny PC and expects it. This IS NOT for my use. I just have to get the damn thing recognizing the 1680x1050 screen resolution and I’m off, and hope to not have to touch it again ;-) [05:34] elad: set it ot low [05:35] nds, set what to low? [05:35] compiz [05:35] kematzy: On emachines that come into my shop I always open the case and inspect. That company made a huge number of computer models using substandard parts--capacitors [05:35] worked for me, and im running an onboard, *shiver* [05:36] kematzy: it's always nice when the emachine doesn't belong to you ;) well, if 8.04 is too old, and if 8.10 is causing problems, have you considered 9.04? [05:36] hey now easy i have a emachine and i like it [05:36] jimdb: Huh ??? what for. the thing works, it's the OS that's not doing what it should. No hardware issue AFAIK. [05:36] I don't think I have compiz install... [05:36] is there a way to use apt-get to install a local deb file? [05:37] *installed [05:37] kematzy: it is, after all, 3-24, which means that it will be released within a few weeks - as long as they'll have internet access and allow it to update itself, they'll have a perfectly stable system then [05:37] so that it will handle depends [05:37] nds just installed firestarter from synaptic and configured it is anything else needed? [05:37] Gnea: ok i set theme to Human and then turned on Extra Effects again. Again the window decorator just disappeared... [05:37] ninom: nope, not so far as i know, unless you plan on opening ports [05:37] wolter: primarily due to the way they implemented labels, rather than folders, especially the "All Mail" label. === bosco is now known as {bosco} [05:37] whou: hrm. try this: make a whole new user account, login with it, turn compiz on. does it happen with that account as well? [05:37] elad: Here is what I did. I had an old install using up to date drivers from nvidia. When the latest set came out I couldn't get them to work without x complaining and pitting me in low red mode [05:37] kematzy: any reason why you're not using XP on it if it came with an XP license in the first place?.....if it's not for you and you're having so much trouble [05:38] I would just leave it at that [05:38] anyone knows a good unrar program for ubuntu like winrar for windows [05:38] rar [05:38] and unrar [05:38] Uhm.. yeah [05:38] unrar [05:38] A-KO: because the client wants Ubuntu. [05:38] ha [05:38] :) [05:38] Gnea: Please!! I am asking IF there's a way to get the nvidia drivers to work within the current install. I don't care about anything else [05:38] or better yet: tar [05:38] Rez mode. So I wiped and installed fresh and installled and used the latest without probs. [05:38] Gnea: ok I will log into that account, but that would take a while [05:38] Gnea: brb [05:38] the client wants ubuntu? And they're asking someone else to get them a PC......uuh....I dunno... [05:39] A-KO no XP came with it. Bought with Linpus Linux, but crap, so [05:39] How do I open bz2 files? [05:39] kemantzy:: of course, the do work for me. i think it depends on many different factors like which nvidia card you have and such things [05:39] kematzy: What IS your current install? [05:39] kematzy: well, you're going to care about it in a few weeks when the client calls you to complain that there's a new version available and what should they do and what if they want the latest version? [05:39] elad: tar? [05:39] Hi, I have to modify an ldif file to import to open ldap... I have been plugging away using sed but I am strugling... I need to replace the text in lines that have ",mail=uname@domain.com" with ",ou=blah,dc=blah" etc,,, anyone? [05:39] i dont have a nvidia card ;( [05:39] elad, use archive manager [05:39] kematzy: If you had the exper I have had with cheap emachines and the fact you r complaining about issues with two owes I would check hardware! [05:40] ok installed unrar from synaptic is this supposed to be run in a terminal because i cant find it in applications [05:40] From the command line, I mean. tar wouldn't work. [05:40] ninom: yes [05:40] ninom: Terminal yes, you don't have GUI for it. [05:40] type rar --help [05:40] for info on how to use [05:40] thanks nds [05:40] elad: tar with the j option [05:40] np [05:40] again :) [05:40] how can I make a program autostart in gnome but not in other windows managers? [05:40] elad: tar xjf file.tar.bz2 [05:41] elad: or bunzip [05:41] errr... add it to the atosart? [05:41] how do i tell my window manager to not display the title bar just for firefox? [05:41] Not sure but doesn't rar integrate with archive manager so that you can just right click and extract here so it uses rar when needed. [05:41] make a session for just gnokme? [05:41] A-KO: u serious? There are other professions in the world where they just want a computer that's safe, runs 100% of the time and does what the basic requirements that they have. There are people out there that are good at other things than computers. OK ? [05:41] my mwindow manager is metacity* [05:41] tuxsux preferences->session i belive (don't use gnome myself) [05:41] kematzy: You can chase you tail on software issues only to get nowhere due to it being hardware [05:41] kematzy: btw, is an 06w or an 07w? [05:41] tuxsux -> how can your program tell if you are using gnome or some other wm? [05:42] <{bosco}> anyone here awstats problems premission problems when sudo -u www-data /usr/bin/perl /usr/lib/cgi-bin/awstats.pl -update -config=www.boscoslfe.com error message here http://pastebin.com/m49a8d708 [05:42] Im not sure but I am trying to auto start Avant window manager in gnome it keeps starting up in kde aswell [05:42] i like awn [05:42] awm [05:42] Gnea: it's a el1200 desktop, bought in Malaysia. Not the same as in US. [05:43] tuxsux> its in your profile [05:43] <`brandon> how do i get Wireless [05:43] no 07w [05:43] kematzy: well, there are a few sub-models in the US [05:43] brandon: sign up with a plan from att/sprint/etc [05:44] kematzy: i see they all have the 6150SE, which I'm 100% sure that Ubuntu supports [05:44] All those emachines are made in china [05:44] jimdb: but different systems are built slightly differently for different countries [05:44] <`brandon> well i mean a Wireless Internet connection [05:45] And now acer owns both emachines and gateway [05:45] how do i tell metacity to not display the title bar for firefox? [05:45] kematzy: The thing is, this computer isn't working. So you're a bit behind on your points. [05:45] brandon, depends on your chipset, driver,.. [05:45] A-KO: I think you need to totally re-think your approach to this situation. [05:45] <`brandon> so i can use the Internet without having to hook up the cord from my DLS box to my Internet [05:46] Gnea: Perhaps you missed the point I made earlier. THE WHOLE DAMN THING WORKED YESTERDAY at 1680x1050 resolution. Then I tried vinagre and all hell broke loose. NOW I AM ONLY TRYING TO GET THE SYSTEM TO RECOGNIZE THE DRIVERS, accept 1680x1050 as the the resolution. IF YOU CAN HELP WITH THAT, please address it. Otherwise don't. No offence inteded! [05:46] kematzy: might as well ignore what A-KO is saying, as it's very negative and not really helping much [05:47] heh [05:47] I am glad both of my emachines worked right out of the box all i had to do was delete xp and install ubuntu, then everything worked great and it is faster the xp [05:47] kematzy: I wasn't aware of the vinagre thing. no need to type in all caps (it'll get you kicked if you're not careful) [05:48] kematzy is sorry for the **all caps**. Don't have bold [05:48] The worst customer you could have is one that doesn't listen. When we say you could be chasing your tail by going after software when the problem could be hardware then you deserve the stress you are experiencing. [05:48] kematzy: were you trying to use vinagre on the system to connect to a remote system, or using it to connect TO the emachine? [05:49] kematzy: So you are not having any probe under winxp? [05:50] jimdb: why are you trying to convince him to abandon ubuntu? [05:50] Alright I just install xorg on a minimal system. However when I startx I am greeted with X and a terminal but I can't move the mouse or type? [05:51] !info nfs-kernel-server [05:51] Gnea: Im not. Im trying to get confirmation that it actually works under some os [05:51] nfs-kernel-server (source: nfs-utils): support for NFS kernel server. In component main, is optional. Version 1:1.1.2-4ubuntu1.1 (intrepid), package size 147 kB, installed size 376 kB [05:51] when i installed new drivers on ubuntu and restarted i had a black screen, because my monitor didnt recognize more than 65hz maybe that the problem with you kematzy [05:51] jimdb: well, he's clearly stated that he had ubuntu working. while using a vnc client, the system configuration somehow became foobared. [05:51] Gnea: If it doesn't work under any, he has a diff prob than he is trying to get help on [05:52] that's the part that i don't understand - how vinagre was allowed to access those portions of memory [05:52] jimdb: this is entirely possible, but it's impossible to assume that if we don't try to troubleshoot it [05:52] Gnea: Clearly software does not fall apart like that. Vnc won't break the video [05:52] ninom: That probably was the problem yesterday. Now I'd just like to get the drivers installed and recognized [05:52] jimdb: agreed. [05:53] kematzy: have you reinstalled Ubuntu 8.10 on it yet? === _Rolanditu\Afk is now known as Rolanditu\Afk [05:53] I have installed a blog on my own domain. however iam only able to install it on http://mydomain.com. if i try http://www.mydomain.com it is not working. i am using hardy server edition. pls help me? [05:53] Gnea: He's making assumptions. [05:53] If I type into the terminal too quickly after alt-tabbing to it, I get odd characters instead of the normal latin ones. [05:53] <`brandon> okay how do i set up a wireless Internet connection? (not from a cell phone) [05:54] !wireless | `brandon [05:54] `brandon: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [05:54] n/m [05:54] krishnan: does the www. domain point to the same IP or to the non-www domain? [05:54] Fusion-icon: why does it fail to start up compiz, but works fine if i manually select it afterwards? [05:54] lstarnes: yes [05:54] question about fusion-icon ^ not to a person called that [05:54] Gnea: VNC did NOT break the system. It's caused the desktop to go missing. The settings I created go wrong. There's a bug somewhere in there when you use it. Don't care to know where, just know it's there. and yes, 8.10 is installed. [05:55] krishnan: do you have a server-alias in your apache config? [05:55] Don't use fusion icon then. Go into sessions and do start up: compiz --replace [05:56] kematzy: it sounds like you've already given up. [05:56] jimdb: i like the ability to switch on the fly. gaming. [05:56] I have connected an external 19'' display to my HP Compaq 6720s which has 15''. Issue is I just want to use the external display so that even if I close the lid, I can work on external display. [05:56] jimdb: i know about --replace :P [05:56] Gnea: same thing here look: http://img15.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotmeo.png [05:56] Fusion icon is flakey [05:56] hey can anyone help me in configuring eclipse to run applet programs [05:56] yes, yes it is [05:57] Gnea: also my terminal is blank - i am using xterm, but gnome-terminal is just a white sqaure [05:57] whou: what graphics card and which driver are you using? [05:57] whou: go to a terminal and type metacity --replace [05:58] whou: or hit alt-F2 and type metacity --replace then check the box that says run in terminal [05:58] Gnea: nvidia geforce 2 mx 400 96 driver from repos [05:58] pHreaksYcle: ok just a sec [05:58] whou: got it. i wouldn't recommend using compiz with it. [05:59] <`brandon> that make's no scene to me [05:59] whou: Gnea: agreed. [05:59] 'brandon: what are you talking about? [05:59] whou: the card is too old to support it properly [05:59] Gnea: too underpowered more likely? [06:00] musikgoat|main; i uninstalled as you said and when i executed it saying missing jre file [06:00] hey can anyone help me in configuring eclipse to run applet programs [06:00] pHreaksYcle: pretty much [06:00] hello all [06:00] Gnea: pHreaksYcle: but it worked for 2 days [06:00] whou: luck. [06:00] anyone have ideals on how to speed up xubuntu [06:00] kematzy: I really don't know what to suggest at this point. if it's installed and running, have you installed the nvidia drivers and got that working again? [06:00] im only running 512 mem [06:01] kematzy: also, perhaps vinagre is not the program to use [06:01] robbie623: install more RAM, kill processes that you dont need on startup [06:01] so shit like preload doesnt work very well [06:01] robbie623: preload?? [06:01] !language | robbie623 [06:01] robbie623: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [06:01] pH i have already stop most start up proccess [06:01] robbie623: never heard of it, if it's what im thinking then preload isn't a good idea [06:02] lol pl works very well on more me [06:02] mem [06:02] robbie623: how do you do that? [06:02] pHreaksYcle: metacity --replace worked. but reverted to no compiz [06:02] robbie623: switch your wallpaper to solid black. that helps a little === pradyumnacster_ is now known as pradyumnacster [06:02] kematzy: you may have better luck with xtightvncviewer [06:02] whou: exactly. metacity is the default window manager. no effects. but at least you can use your computer again [06:03] does anyone use i915GM, and have DRI2 enabled [06:03] whou: if you're desperate to use compiz, install the advanced settings config manager and turn off all the effects you can live without, like accessibility garbage and stuff [06:03] robbie623: What kind of 'puter do you have running xubuntu? [06:03] lol [06:03] since no one's answering me here, can someone at least tell me what the metacity irc server/channel is? [06:03] preload just loads your most used binairies into your ram, so its warm load [06:03] mom bought you a 'puter for christmas [06:04] my speed isnt bad at all just always trying to get good ideals [06:04] Aeosynth: I've been here for a while and haven't seen you ask anything [06:04] Aeosynth: what do you want? [06:04] pHreaksYcle: oh, okay will try - the whole point for this is to show off to my sister who wants to buy a new PC and I want to convince her to use Ubuntu [06:04] Aeosynth: didn't see your question. [06:04] whou: use a live CD in the new PC :) [06:04] <`brandon> im trying to make it so i can use Wireless Internet [06:05] pHreaksYcle: hmmmm [06:05] whou: I'd give you a medal for that if I had one. [06:05] hi all [06:05] a noble cause. :) [06:05] Aeosynth: if you're that convinced we hate you, #metacity probably works. . . [06:05] does anyone use i915GM, and have DRI2 enabled [06:05] if not using gdm, is it normal that there is no option to "suspend"? [06:05] petrele: what in the world is that if i may ask? [06:05] gnea: yes i have. i have it as www.mydomain.com [06:05] faeryan: thanks ^^ [06:05] `brandon: yes, well, I did point out some wireless documentation to you. you said something about it not making any sense.. perhaps you could elaborate on that so that we can help you. saying that "i want it to work!" is not going to make it work. [06:05] petrele: if you don't get an answer, that usually means no one know what you're speaking of [06:06] krishnan: eh?? [06:06] faeryan: but i have to get compiz working to "convince" her that ubuntu is state of the art [06:06] pHreaksYcle, how about the fps showed by glxgears [06:06] So... I decided to install ubuntu on my second hard disk [06:06] It told me to remove cd and reboot [06:06] <`brandon> okay i do not understand anything === GFTStats is now known as Thor [06:06] pertrele: what about it??

Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [06:09] pHreaksYcle, Gnea damn they are equal [06:09] <`brandon> i use Ubuntu for programing [06:09] Bad headphones? [06:09] Gnea - already did [06:09] halycon: are you sure the wire for the headphones isn't shorted? [06:09] halycon: broken junk :) [06:09] that is why I asked "anyone (know the solution to my problem)?" [06:09] 'brandon: are you going to answer me?? [06:10] Thor: then you need to repeat the question every 5 minutes. [06:10] they work fine in my ipod [06:10] Thor: nope, that's not acceptable. [06:10] Plugged I. All the way? [06:10] Thor: Most likely your menu.lst is borked [06:10] HD1 has vista, Installed Ubuntu on HD2, it reboots and fails, Error 25 [06:10] and my bros new headphones do the same thing [06:10] Plugged in all the way?

I just googled the same thread. :P [06:11] pHreaksYcle: watch futurama much? :) [06:11] 'brandon: so does ubuntu. . .

[06:15] anyone awake tonight to help out any [06:15] <`brandon> no i am right next to my DSL box right now [06:16] slimjim: not if you don't tell us what your problem is, preferably with detail [06:16] 'brandon: maybe back off a bit? [06:16] <`brandon> the only way i can get internet is threw my Ethernet cord [06:16] any tools to help recover an accidentally deleted partition table? [06:16] 'brandon: also, right click the network icon and see if your wireless is turned on. any hotkeys on the keyboard should be double checked too [06:17] My Ubuntu is detecting my onboard graphics card even though I have set a PCI-E one to be the default and I just read the mobo manual and it says there's no jumper to disable the onboard one. This causes a lot of problems with X. Anyone have any short and clean method of making it work, other than ripping the GPU component off entirely. [06:17] ok i need to kow if this command looks rigth (mkdosfs -F 32 /dev/sdb1) [06:17] <`brandon> how do i know if the wireless is turned on? [06:17] i am trying to format a USB ext drive to fat 32 and having some difuclty [06:17] 'brandon: it's your laptop bro, there should be a light or something [06:17] slimjim: You know, you could use Gparted to get a GUI for that. Much simpler. [06:18] bonez46: sudo apt-get install testdisk [06:18] slimjim: yeah seriously dude, get a GUI for stuff like that if you're notfamiliar with it [06:18] ah.. testdisk.. yes.. thank you [06:18] `brandon: that all depends on the make/model of your laptop [06:18] gparted wont see the disk [06:18] bonez46: cheers [06:18] when i unmount it goes away and no longer avaliable [06:18] Thor: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=158084 <--- failed [06:19] slimjim: hang on ill snag you a link to a good formatter [06:19] <`brandon> oh yeah the light is on [06:19] cool thanks [06:19] i tried it as ext3 but it failed and was unable t mount it and read it [06:19] 'brandon: and when you right click the network icon, it has a check next to wireless networking? [06:19] not sure if it has to do with the fact it is a tb [06:19] slimjim: By "it failed" you mean ubuntu or some windows? [06:19] Thor: what 'failed', exactly? [06:19] My attempt to create a single partition and format a new external USB harddrive with gparted failed.

The people in #ubuntu-offtopic would probably find that funnier :) [06:23] 'brandon: you need to go back to windows. honestly. . . idk what your problem is, whether you think i'm getting paid to do this or something???

[06:27] 'brandon: the one that says Enable Wireless [06:29] rww> im looking for where you did support [06:29] gnea: yes [06:29] <`brandon> the only box that is checked is enable [06:29] <[MindVirus]> Hello? [06:29] I have a really weird sound problem in linux sound only comes out of one of my headphones but in my ipod and in windows sound comes out of both. I have also checked the balance and everything is even. Does anyone else know what other things could be causing this? [06:29] <`brandon> the only box that is checked is enable networking [06:29] bman: I'm not sure what you're asking, but the channel I mentioned was #ubuntu-offtopic. To get there, do /join #ubuntu-offtopic. [06:29] `brandon: Btw, are you using a laptop and/or USB wireless stick? [06:29] <`brandon> yes [06:29] 'brandon: is there a box that says Enable Wireless that youcan check? [06:29] thats your support huh [06:29] ok [06:30] bman: if you have a support question, you should ask in here...

[06:30] 'brandon: is there a box that says Enable Wireless that youcan check? [06:30] bman: Oh, that makes your previous statement clearer. [06:30] <`brandon> np[e [06:30] <`brandon> nope** [06:31] 'brandon: well then you don't have your wireless card installed/on [06:31] 'brandon: if you did, the box would be there. [06:31] 'brandon: btw, toshiba sucks moose. have a great night [06:31] Cause on my laptop I had loads of issues with USB mouse and a wireless. I had to use "acpi=off" setting to make wireless work if I had the mouse plugged in [06:31] <`brandon> it works fine on Windows [06:31] nobody? [06:31] 'brandon: THEN USE WINDOWS [06:31] Something with conflicting IRQs and stuff [06:31] good DAY SIR [06:31] <`brandon> I LIKE UBUNTU BETTER [06:31] do I have to wait another 5 years to try to use linux?

[06:32] Thor: Sorry, I missed your recent messages. What was the latest issue? [06:32] nate u hear [06:32] same one [06:32] The 2%? [06:32] 25 [06:33] HD 1 - Windows, HD 2 - Just installed Ubuntu, Reboot, "Grub Stage 1.5 - Error 25" [06:33] Gnea: you are a life saver.. thank you [06:33] Thor: On your Grub do you have an entry for both Ubuntu and Windows? [06:34] `brandon: Try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessTroubleShootingGuide That should walk you through some of the basics of wireless troubleshooting. [06:34] and I can see that... ? === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [06:34] Thor: When you fire up your machine the Grub should pop up asking you if you want to choose windows or Ubuntu. [06:35] whats the easier way to change my splash screen? [06:35] Does anyone know what would cause sound to only come out of one of my headphones? I have checked the balance and everything appears fine [06:36] usplash-theme-manager? [06:36] halycon: Sure they're plugged in the right hole? That's the most common issue [06:36] !usplash | Siccness [06:36] Siccness: To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork [06:37] Thor: When you fire up your machine the Grub should pop up asking you if you want to choose windows or Ubuntu. <-- It just gives me an error [06:37] Thor: Right now you're chatting with us on Windows, correct? How do you choose to fire up windows? [06:37] what is the benefit of using source over binary packages? [06:38] antonius: Nothing. Use binary packages. Source packages exist in case you need to modify something/etc [06:38] o7 [06:38] o/ [06:39] Source packages are great for fixing bugs. I can tell, having fixed exactly one (1) bug in a pre-1.0 Banshee :) [06:40] if i want to trim down my kernel and recompile, does ubuntu have a command like make menuconfig? [06:41] does anyone know any way of accessing samba shares through Banshee media player? [06:41] antonius: "trim down" what exactly? [06:41] antonius: Yes, lots of stuff about that on ubuntuforums. A pretty good guides too. [06:41] thx [06:42] crdlb: i would image a largely compatible distro like ubuntu loads every sound video, etc drivers in kernel [06:42] image=imagine [06:46] Flannel, are you a gparted expert? [06:46] no? [06:46] pedrider2008: I would guess that should work if you connect to them with "Connect to server" in the Places menu first [06:46] antonius: no [06:46] antonius: take a look at the output of 'lsmod' [06:46] The modules are not loaded unless a device actually needs them. [06:46] I once tried to recompile a kernel but I gotta admit I didn't notice much improvements. Then again I'm justa newb at it. [06:46] Thor: Right now you're chatting with us on Windows, correct? How do you choose to fire up windows? <-- another computer [06:46] I've to two : [06:46] anyone have any luck with the alpha driver and amd64 ? [06:46] alpha flash player driver, I mean [06:46] Thor: Riiight. So your Windows/Ubuntu machine won't respond at all? [06:46] antonius: unless you have some device that isn't supported or needs a source patch, there's little need to compile your own kernel. [06:46] Thor: And no need to copy paste what I just said. I think I can remember that. :) [06:46] nothing [06:46] crdlb: It is connected, Is there anyway to like mount it as a drive? [06:46] just gives me that "Error 25" [06:46] it allows me to boot into the ubuntu live cd [06:46] Thor: Good.. just what I was about to ask. [06:46] fearful: if Ubuntu and Wndows won't work, your hardware is likely to of gone bd [06:46] bad [06:46] oh wrong name [06:46] Thor: You could fire up a live cd, then mount your ubuntu installation and copy the /boot/grub/menu.lst file for us to read somewhere. [06:46] pedrider2008: it already is in ~/.gvfs/ using FUSE, but I'd hope that banshee would be GIO-aware :/ [06:46] faeryan: that was to you just now, but I did wrong name [06:46] anybody know anything about mobloquer for hardy being dropped from the repo? [06:46] sebsebseb: I didn't have the problem, I'm just helping, and I don't think that's the issue here. [06:46] faeryan: ok I read wrong you asked someone a question [06:47] Thor: I guess see above, altough it wasn't that useful info I guess [06:50] how do i create a new user 'foo' who only has access to /var/www/bar ... and all subdirectories therein? also they should be able to ssh in. ;p [06:50] Thor: Want/need a comprehensive guide on how to fetch that file info or do you know already? [06:50] arooni-mobile: Have you googled? On my opinion it's much easier to get that info from there and I know there are guides for it. [06:50] drmrhorse: I don't see it having been in the repositories ever. What was the package name? [06:50] is it a bad idea to put my ubuntu partition in an extended partition [06:50] mobloquer [06:50] sams_club: nope, it'll work fine. Mine is. [06:50] amd64 and flash player, any success ? [06:50] !flash64 | eaxxae [06:50] eaxxae: You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava [06:50] k thnx [06:50] it appears to have been dropped with the change from moblock-control to blockcontrol yesterday [06:50] ubottu: is that with a chroot ? [06:51] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [06:51] im thinking of trying to compile it but if its coming back soon it would be a waste [06:51] drmrhorse: I still don't see it in Ubuntu's repositories. If you're talking about the unofficial ones at http://moblock-deb.sourceforge.net/ , you'd have to ask them. [06:51] eaxxae: no, Adobe has a native 64-bit plugin now. [06:51] "then mount your ubuntu installation and copy the /boot/grub/menu.lst file for us to read somewhere." <-- how do I dod that? [06:51] will the ext4 filesystem be available in 9.x? [06:51] i see, ty [06:51] antonius: Jaunty questions in #ubuntu+1, but yes, it will. [06:52] antonius: default will still be ext3, though. [06:52] Thor: Open up a terminal. Type "sudo fdisk -l" and you should get a list of file systems. Read them through and try to find out what is your Linux install. [06:52] oh hey theres a new news post just minutes ago, problem solved, ty [06:52] Thor: Hint: it should read Linux in the end. [06:58] !alternate | nds [06:58] nds: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the link on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal [06:58] udo fdisk -l -> /dev/sdb1 Linux [06:59] nds: it uses a text based installer.. doesn't need as much memory [06:59] slart, thanks, but i was just amazed by the bare minimum requirements [06:59] i have 700 in my geust [06:59] :D [06:59] but slow cpu, so needs xbuntu [06:59] ah... :) [07:00] Dell Demension L500CX [07:00] Thor: Then in the terminal type "sudo mkdir /mnt/linux" If it doesn't give any errors then do "sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/linux" [07:00] not upgraded cpu, but like quadrpled the ram :D [07:00] no error [07:01] Thor: If the mount goes well then type "cd /mnt/linux/boot/grub/ [07:01] Thor: It should move you to the grub directory [07:01] k [07:01] im in it [07:01] Thor: Once there type "ls" and see if there's files. We don't need to know what files there are, just that there are about 10 or so of them [07:02] sooo many people [07:02] :D [07:02] Thor: After that type "gedit menu.lst" [07:02] 12 files in there [07:02] ytet so few can help at once [07:02] k, it opened the file [07:02] er ... [07:02] mmk [07:02] whats he trying to do? [07:03] Thor: If there's writing there it would help if you could paste it somewhere on the net === eMaX is now known as eMaX_ [07:03] want me to pastebin it? [07:03] nds: His grub gives error 25. [07:03] yes plz [07:03] Thor: Would be good [07:03] faeryan: :s [07:03] prob a stupid mistake somewhere in his menu [07:03] sorry, not stupid, just, a mistake [07:05] pastebing.com/m6ae79183 [07:05] pastebin.com/m6ae79183 [07:05] hey guys, i got a laptop with a built in 9 in 1 media reader, anyone know how i can get it to work in intrepid? [07:05] media card* [07:06] <{bosco}> can anyone help me out never had to use sudo to change anything in root http://pastebin.com/m7e329d86 i run a vps that is the prob i face [07:06] Thor: In terminal do "sudo blkid" [07:06] Thor: Should have asked you to do that earlier, so you could have pasted it as well. [07:07] Thor: But it's enough if you check that the UUID there is the same as your Ubuntu entry on menu.lst [07:08] pastebing.com/m3e96a1a9 [07:08] Thor: nds root device needs setting for the Linux setup (hd1,x) [07:08] I was thinking about that too [07:08] thor: linux on separate hdd? [07:08] ive never gotten that to work w/o problems >.< [07:09] nds: look at the fdisk -l at the top of the pastebin... Linux is on sdb [07:09] hi [07:09] looks the same to me [07:09] Where are we talking about here ? [07:09] :( [07:09] intuitivenipple: i know it is, I was pointing that out [07:10] I think I managed to install a previous version of ubuntu on another pc without any trouble [07:10] yeah [07:10] If you look, the Windows chainloads (hd0,0) but the other entries will default to the same (first disk). But the fdisk output shows that Linux and Windows are on different (hdX...) [07:10] ive just never had luck with it [07:10] also: why did you partition like that? [07:11] Thor: Are you currently running from a live-CD ? [07:11] hd1 or hd2 ? [07:11] Think Thor should add that root entry there by hand? [07:11] how do i start a service on boot? [07:11] hd1 [07:11] if he can manage [07:11] vista is on hd1 [07:11] hi,i'm running gnome but using konqueror,whenver i launch it it cannot find my home page- google, but if i click on the 'home' icon it goes to google no problem, what can i do? === Daemon_ is now known as Ezekiel [07:11] lacqui: system -> sessions [07:11] I just thought it would be "tidier" if each had its own hd [07:12] no i mean [07:12] Hang on, because BIOS/GRUB and Linux may be seeing different 'first' disks. [07:12] Thor: close the gedit and type "sudo gedit menu.lst" instead to give you write capabilities [07:12] three 100 gb partitions of ntfs? [07:12] Thor: Have you at any point changed the boot-order in BIOS? [07:12] guys: kinda why i pointed that out lol :D [07:12] no [07:12] Ahh.. I didn't see that coming IntuitiveNipple. [07:12] Thor: that's perfectly ok... you're almost there... here's how it works... [07:12] I just installed ubuntu and it gave me the error [07:13] nds: at boot, not at login [07:13] I never even managed to boot into it [07:13] yeah [07:13] it's in /etc/init.d already [07:13] lacqui: er, not sure then [07:13] hey guys, i have a txt file with a list of files.. whats a quick bash line to cat the file and see if the files exist... [07:13] Thor: BIOS decides what order it will tell the boot-loader the disks are in, with first hard disk given 0x80, 2nd 0x81, etc... [07:13] redhat 6 worked fine with 2 hard disks :P [07:13] yeah, I know [07:13] I could make it boot first from the 40 GB hard disk [07:13] yes [07:13] that would help [07:14] :D [07:14] let me try [07:14] Thor... so that is what GRUB sees... *but* when it hands over to Linux/the OS, the order of the disks depends on what the OS discovers from hardware, and can be different if it 'finds' the controllers and disks in a different order [07:14] or else it will look for a boot partition in those ntfs ones [07:14] grub is a beutifuly pain in the .... sometimes [07:15] At the moment, Error 25 suggests BIOS > MBR (sector 0, disk 0x80) which 'looks' for the partition containing "/grub/menu.lst" and can't find it on disk 0x80 [07:15] Thor: You could have put in the liveCD and then choose to load from hard drive to see that the install works first. [07:16] when programming what is it called when you have an auto complete function? [07:16] the tab key :D [07:16] I tried that, it fails [07:16] :p [07:16] lawl :p [07:16] same error 25 [07:16] rebooting [07:16] if i were to fresh install ubuntu to a different partition, then delete the non home folder data, and adjust the grub entry, would i have a problem? [07:16] Oh, then it's not bypassing the grub as I thought. [07:16] anyone else find it odd that I prefer to boot to Recovery mode? [07:16] weird [07:16] I changed the order of hard disk boot [07:17] mmk [07:17] but it seems to have ignored the ubuntu hd [07:17] can I make a suggestion? [07:17] Thor: and it works? [07:17] just started windows [07:17] faeryan: to get error 25 some part of grub is loading... it is likely that MBR and stage 1.5 get loaded... that is enough to go find /grub/menu.lst and stage 2 [07:17] It uses the windows bootloader on the first disk now. [07:17] let me recheck bios [07:17] Redo it, with the 40 as the first one [07:17] and the 320 as secondary [07:17] I thought I had done that [07:17] Thor: No, that would be correct... [07:17] will save you awhole lot of headache [07:17] Hello [07:18] Thor .. I *think* you've got GRUB MBR and stage 1.5 on the 'windows' disk and stage 2 on the 'Linux' disk [07:18] I get the following error: Cannot open shared library /usr/lib32/alsa-lib/libasound_module_pcm_jack.so [07:18] 1. Ch 4 M. : 40GB [07:18] 2. ... : 320GB [07:18] Thor: you need to set the Linux disk as first to boot, then run grub and update-grub to put MBR and stage 1.5 on that disk [07:18] :| reformat it? I mean, its going to cause problems if he ever does anything to his hdd >.< [07:18] order is correct, but it just ignores the ubuntu hard disk [07:19] Greetings [07:19] I am searching for an Internet/Intranet printing solution that can distribute drivers (to at least Windows XP) and which includes a web frontend.

[07:22] O.o [07:22] any ideas on where i should go to find answers - i allready tried google [07:22] reinstall mysql? [07:22] then uninstall [07:22] i'm trying to do that [07:22] ok [07:22] nds: but the unistall fails [07:23] auli: darn [07:23] dustin: You need a programmer's IDE that supports the language/commands you want [07:23] nds: reinstall fails, complete uninstall fails too! [07:23] any chance to disable it and forget about it? [07:23] nds: it tries to use the debian account to do all of those things [07:23] I did that before ;( [07:23] nds: disable what? I need to use mysql :p [07:23] Psuedo: For pushing drivers to win32 clients, you will want to start at http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/classicalprinting.html#id2619944 [07:23] afallenhope→ what application is giving this error? [07:23] magnetron, skype [07:23] why uninstall it then? [07:23] IntuitiveNipple, i can get the file that has the operations, i was hoping to use gedit to do that [07:23] auli: how did you try to uninstall it? [07:23] nds: it ins't working! [07:24] or do you mean you deleted by accident [07:24] afallenhope→ how did you install skype? === system is now known as Guest84017 [07:24] IntuitiveNipple: synaptic [07:24] then tried mmmk. [07:24] magnetron, via the deb? [07:24] nds: i deleted it intentionally.. but i didn't know what I was doing! [07:24] afallenhope→ which one? [07:24] sudo apt-get remove mysql-commons [07:24] Anybody here who can help me with a question? I was just able to fix my problem of a blank terminal and missing windows decorations when enabling compiz. I lowered screen resolution to bare minimum - 640x480 - this on my gnome session. [07:24] magnetron, the one onthe site? [07:24] nds: let me try that too.. [07:24] Psuedo: As far as a 'web interface', samba interfaces with several web interfaces, plus there is ipp, etc.....lots of otherwise unrelated options [07:24] hi anyone know of any sites that give tested performance tweaks for ubuntu, also, any ideas for kernel optimization for a 32bit Mint using a core 2 amd64 (i dont care about backwards compatibility with 386 unless you think that might break wine) [07:24] auli: you could try using dpk --force-all -r ... [07:25] IntuitiveNipple: that's what I'm looking for.. [07:25] nds: mysql-commons.. [07:25] dpkg * [07:25] auli: oops, typo! [07:25] apt-get doesn't have force option! [07:25] * nds is not 100% sure of the name [07:25] Now I want to have a different setting for my icewm setup. is it possible to have a different resolution on the same user account but a different session? [07:25] nds: wait trying dpkg (one thing at a time) [07:25] lolz [07:25] no no, do 6 at a time :D [07:26] no one? [07:26] anyone? [07:26] jasel [07:26] auli: possibly sudo dpkg --force-all -r mysql-server-5.1 [07:26] There are many tweaks: it depends on waht you want [07:26] IntuitiveNipple: that fails too with the same message [07:26] "tested" "performance" tweaks [07:27] I forexample: tweak for internet seed [07:27] auli: pastebin the messages so we know [07:27] IntuitiveNipple: it gives the same error.. access denion for user 'debian-sys-maint'@localhost [07:27] k [07:27] but you can tweak for improved cpu, memory, w/e [07:27] aka system performance, not internet [07:27] mmk [07:27] afallenhope→ that is not a method of installing skype that we can give support for. i recommend you remove the current skype package and install the package from the medibuntu repository. the best method is to add the medibuntu repository, then use synaptic or "applications" > "add/remove" to install it. see the private message from ubottu for further instructions [07:27] whou: you could call xrandr from a shell script launched your favorite way to set the res on each session to whatever [07:27] !medibuntu > afallenhope [07:27] afallenhope, please see my private message [07:27] IntuitiveNipple: http://pastebin.com/m474f47c7 [07:27] auli: try recoverymode on your next reboot, try to fix it [07:27] hi [07:28] what antivirus comes with ubuntu by default? [07:28] none [07:28] igi: none [07:28] magnetron, no. I'm not doing it that way because skype is outdated [07:28] you dont need one [07:28] !antivirus > igi [07:28] igi, please see my private message [07:28] Er1K any ideas where I could learn to do that? [07:28] nds: which recoverybode? [07:28] nds: *mode [07:28] the boot up one [07:28] igi: none, but if you are looking to scan the viruses of other platforms that pass through, there is clam [07:28] yes alot of distros come with an antiviruses [07:28] theres an option for fix broken pacakge [07:28] nds: recoverymode, still don't get it.. what bootup one? you mean i should boot from the CD? [07:29] no [07:29] when you boot up, go into grub, select recovery mode [07:29] clam is not good under windows so why would it be good under linux? [07:29] nds: and what would that do? [07:29] auli: OK, easily fixed [07:29] afallenhope→ if you insist on using the deb from the skype website, then you have to turn to Skype Inc. for support. good luck. [07:29] then it will come to a screen with four choices, one is "fix broken pacakges" [07:29] auli: connect to the mysql server as the root/admin [07:29] nds: ah.. [07:29] IntuitiveNipple: yes.. i've logged in.. then? [07:29] i am looking for any tested performance tweaks to speed up the general use of my computer and or gaming and media. including kernel options besides a la generic [07:30] !antivirus | igi [07:30] igi: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux, except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [07:30] magnetron, all I need to know is where I can find libasound_module_pcm_jack.so [07:30] auli: then issue something similar to this: "GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'debian-sys-maint'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD '1c26de472d9b41cf' WITH GRANT OPTION" [07:30] IntuitiveNipple: i've tried that!!! [07:30] try some funky chmod if all else fails [07:30] im compiling a stock kernel for experience but ive come to a problem where the custom kernel says the uuid is not found. the same uuid that the other kernels recognize and boot up off of [07:30] :) [07:30] Hi all [07:30] IntuitiveNipple: it says, "ERROR 1146 (42S02): Table 'mysql.user' doesn't exist" [07:30] how do i tell my custom launchers to display the icons of the current theme? [07:30] auli: ok... let's back up a step then :) [07:30] IntuitiveNipple: i've never done the dumbest thing! [07:30] if whou comes back or if anybody else was following his question, "xrandr -q" will get you started [07:31] aeosynth: right click, and browse for them [07:31] has anyone come across this, ? do I need to forget the uuid and just use root ? [07:31] IntuitiveNipple: okay.. i'm already logged in as root.. [07:31] ubottu: but my mandriva cam with 3 antiviruses by default [07:31] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [07:31] came* [07:31] igi [07:31] IntuitiveNipple: i've tried show databases and it gives "(null)" [07:31] they are for scanning if you are passing to windows [07:31] netbook-launcher looks downright *perfect* for my autistic 12yo....I've got a box ready for him, diskless, netboots a RO 8.10 image with a C-O-W overlay......all I need now is to make netbook-launcher work without requiring glx and I'm set. Any advice appreciated. [07:31] IntuitiveNipple: I don't understand how it still lets me login though :p [07:32] nds: isn't there anything easier? i'm trying out different themes and it's impractical to browse for all of them on every theme change [07:32] there is no real use for them if you are only useing linux [07:32] nds: how can they know whether iam passing them to windows? [07:32] aeosynth: nope [07:32] nds: how would it resolve packgae conflict from the recovery mode? [07:32] igi: mandriva comes with a lot of unnecessary bloat by default [07:32] alright, thanks [07:32] igi: get clamTK, and scan it only whe passing on [07:32] nds: i'm guessing it would still use dpkg? [07:32] anyone know where I can get libasound_module_pcm_jack.so? [07:32] i like avast anybody used it under ubunto? [07:32] auli: it would, but since it hasnt booted completly, i find it mre powerful [07:33] !find libasound [07:33] Found: libasound2, libasound2-dev, libasound2-doc, libasound2-plugins [07:33] igi: no [07:33] igi: we have no need of antivirus', i think therrees only like a few thousand for linux, and they arent severe [07:33] nds: i'm not convinced.. my machine is booted too now :p (i don't mean to argue, but I don't see the ponit of restarting...) [07:33] auli: i said on next restart [07:34] doont restart for that especially [07:34] nds: argh! now you have convinced me to restart now!!! :) (i've to get this thing down now.. :() [07:34] nds: be back shortly [07:34] jase1,I installed them.. still not here. [07:34] :D [07:34] auli: Looks like you need to re-run the postinst script [07:34] igi: if you really must, use clamav. also i think avira and avg have release linux versions also [07:35] must you scan for viruses? [07:35] sudo apt-get install clamTK [07:35] hopefully that will quiet him [07:35] afallenhope: are you using hardy?

[07:38] nds→ there's a new ubuntu release every 6 months [07:38] you are trying to get skype? [07:38] magnetron, it's not for skype.. it's for my sound.. [07:38] everyone hated intrepid at first too [07:39] what's wrong with jaunty [07:39] magnetron: i know that lol [07:39] just surprised at the age of ubuntu [07:39] i still dont much care for intrepid. better hardware detection but i think its more buggy than 7.10 or 8.02 [07:39] since i think i see the trend [07:39] The kubuntu channel seems dead, so apologies in advance for asking here-- does anyone know enough about kubuntu to help me with a screen resolution problem I seem to have with my NVIDIA graphics card? So far, online searches haven't turned up a solution (or at least one I'm skilled enough to implement). [07:40] afallenhope→ look, we give support for the ubuntu applications here, the apps you can get from the ubuntu repositories. if skype is broken upon install there's nothing we can do. call them and ask why their ubuntu package gives you this error.

[07:54] the mysql services [07:54] Psuedo: IPP [07:54] if they run when you boot up [07:54] jase1, IPP is a protocol CUPS can use.... [07:54] you have to kill them [07:54] nds: k [07:55] auli: dpkg doesn *not* try to install dependencies... you *need* to use apt-get install if you're not going to tell dpkg -i *all* the package names to install [07:55] How can i easily set up automount without using gnome-volume-manager? [07:55] IntuitiveNipple: i'm using apt-get to install mysql-server [07:55] jasel: Thanks, please do go on [07:55] hey guys - anyone know how to set custom res on the NV proprietary drivers - v96? an xrandr pair in the gdm presession script was doing it for the ol ati - but it was too buggy under myth [07:55] i have to sleep [07:55] night all [07:55] nds: thanks! [07:56] IntuitiveNipple: I was forced to build it with . . . [07:56] hope you get it figured out auli [07:56] auli: That should install all the dependencies then. Maybe for good measure: "sudo apt-get --reinstall install ...." ? [07:56] IntuitiveNipple: let me try that.. [07:56] IntuitiveNipple: in fact, let me remove it first..? [07:56] auli: --reinstall should start from the beginning and over-write existing [07:56] IntuitiveNipple: k [07:57] cocool [07:57] Psuedo: whats wrong with cups that you would want an alternative? [07:57] Driver distribution... isn't as simple as the IIS one [07:57] IntuitiveNipple: I was forced to build it with update-initramfs -c -k 2.6.25 because I mkinitrd would not work and neither would apt-get install initrd-tools [07:58] stoic_: no, that's fine... best way to do it... but it seems that you've got something not quite right :) [07:58] Psuedo: have you tried this? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba [07:58] I am not currently using Linux. Can someone please install this and give me a screenshot? http://www.nongnu.org/phpprintipp/ Thanks in advance! [07:58] IntuitiveNipple: i'm getting some weird error which i've been able to google.. let me see what that turns up first.. [07:59] IntuitiveNipple: it's about missing some file.. [07:59] stoic_: what file-system type is /boot/ on? [07:59] IntuitiveNipple: does the problem lie withing my build of the initrd or the refrence to the uuid, take your time, look like a busy man [07:59] IntuitiveNipple: ext3 I assume [07:59] fdsa [07:59] Psuedo: see my topic [08:00] IntuitiveNipple: btw, here is the link to the error (which this other guy had too..) http://ohioloco.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=626443 [08:00] jasel, the SettingUpSamba one? [08:00] yes [08:00] stoic_: I'm not quite sure right now, but I *suspect* that you didn't build the ext3 file-system module into the custom kernel and it isn't specified as a manual addition to initrd... can you pastebin the custom kernel's .config ? [08:00] auli: looking === wizard_ is now known as E-o-G [08:01] IntuitiveNipple: trying suggested purge [08:01] IntuitiveNipple: so is that an issue with make menuconfig ? is it relavent that I didnt use make xconfig === rachel is now known as Guest55402 [08:01] IntuitiveNipple: i think the problem for me has turned into (as stated there) installation failing after complete removal.. [08:01] stoic_: possibly... not an issue with not using xconfig though - that is just the X version of the menu tool [08:02] stoic_: depending on why you built the custom kernel, you maybe should have started with a 'default' Ubuntu .config and modified it [08:03] stoic_: the first thing is to look at the actual used .config and check that all the file-system and block and ata and pci drivers are in the kernel image that are needed to get things going [08:03] auli trying purging as it suggests [08:03] IntuitiveNipple: I checked through the filesystem options of menuconfig and as far as I remember ext3 is enabled, but its also a bzimage ( I think is a compressed kernel image, right ?) but that makes sense is there isnt the piece to decode the filesystem that the others have, I used an old config file as a basis [08:03] how to set dial up connection using pppconfig ? [08:04] IntuitiveNipple: my current config file for this kernel [08:04] IntuitiveNipple: trying that.. it fails (i tries to find the same missin gfile).. the dumb thing actually tries to restart mysql after I try to purge it! [08:04] IntuitiveNipple: (tries to start mysql!) [08:04] mashman: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto/SetUpDialer [08:05] auli: "sudo apt-get --purge remove mysql-server mysql-common mysql-server5.0" ?

[08:06] IntuitiveNipple: amarok etc.. nothing important.. just apps [08:06] auli: libmysql* stuff is fine... but eeek no [08:07] auli: hang on a mo [08:07] IntuitiveNipple: already done.. [08:07] xcuse me could somebody help me as to how i could go to a particular channel in irc..i am completely new to this [08:07] someone feels like breaking their desktop hehe [08:07] vishnu: type /join #channel [08:07] vishnu: what channel do you need to go too [08:07] #mysql-dev [08:07] vishnu: you can use /list [08:07] IntuitiveNipple: btw, it also uninstalled some kde5 packages, and some gstreametr-plugigns-bad.. [08:07] vishnu: and then /join #channel [08:07] this is the channel [08:08] there is no join channel [08:08] i cant see any [08:08] vishnu you type it [08:08] !irc [08:08] A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines [08:08] oh!! [08:08] hello, i have uninstalled totem and now i have lost the information about the video in the properties of the file, what do i actually need to reinstall to get it back [08:08] and may i ask what this network is ? [08:08] IntuitiveNipple: I need to recompile if I change the .config file, quick way to do it ? [08:08] this is freenode [08:08] vishnu, freenode [08:08] is it of any importance? [08:08] can someone tell me a konsole command that will move a file called winxp_32-4.60.zip into a file in windows [08:08] IntuitiveNipple: i'm gonna restart my pc now.. just to be safe.. be back in a moment? [08:09] i mean the netwotk i seect is any important? [08:09] freenode is where most the open source community hangs out [08:09] stoic_: there is no 'quick' way unless you've doing an incremental build. [08:09] vishnu, almost all your tech IRCs are on freenode, so not really [08:09] auli: ok [08:09] oh ok [08:09] IntuitiveNipple: rgr thanks for you help [08:09] thank you titan [08:09] i was pulling my hair out [08:09] stoic_: if you can pastebin the .config I might notice something obvious [08:09] Well thanks for all your help [08:09] can someone tell me a konsole command that will move a file called winxp_32-4.60.zip into a file in windows [08:10] Ezekiel, mv winxp_32-4.60.zip /media/locationofwindowsdrive [08:11] Ezekiel, where /media/locationofwindowdrive is the place your windows drive is mounted, and the folder if nescessary [08:11] Ezekiel: i would highly recommend against writing anything over from linux onto windows how ever if you wish to risk problems type mv /location/winxp_32-4.60.zip /media/windowdrive [08:11] auli: Known bug... please add your experience to it: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-dfsg-5.0/+bug/330982 [08:11] IntuitiveNipple: back.. ps returns no "mysql" process [08:11] IntuitiveNipple: k.. [08:12] auli: there's a work-around in that bug report too [08:12] IntuitiveNipple: http://paste.ubuntu.com/136543/ [08:12] stoic_: thanks [08:12] Jasel: i don't know of anyother choice i don't have internet on my windows partition and none of my hardware is installed [08:12] hii [08:12] Jasel: do you have an alternative [08:12] i have a question [08:13] do you have a usb disk or cd you can copy it to? ntfs support from linux still isnt production level [08:13] you could corrupt your windows partition [08:13] so what do i do? [08:13] why can i not use and sync my iphone on linux do you have any project about it [08:13] Ezekiel, there is nothing wrong with writing to your windows drive [08:13] :D [08:14] Titan8990: what? [08:14] * Ezekiel scratches his head [08:14] <[flx]> o;eryuilhkasdgjkasdf] [08:14] <[flx]> sd [08:14] Ezekiel, just copy the file [08:14] how ? [08:14] stoic_: OK... EXT3 is included as a module. That would require it to be included in the initrd and listed in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules along with some others [08:14] I just enabled my "Remote desktop" , and connected through vinagre client. The problem what i am facing is, it is keep on opening multiple sessions. [08:14] Guest35720: ubuntu seems to have very little removable storage support. doesnt work with my friends nokia 5160 either [08:14] actually can i do it from the konsole? [08:14] Ezekiel, the mv command given by both of us [08:15] what mv comman? [08:15] Ezekiel, mv /path/to/file /media/mountpointofwindows drive [08:15] How can i solve this issue ? [08:15] stoic_: That should be your first line of enquiry... checking which modules are included by default in the initrd... you might find it easiest to extract the initrd image and *look* at the included files [08:15] Ezekiel, scroll up, two people told you the mv command its syntax [08:15] letter for letter? [08:15] stoic_: If you need to know how to do that, I have a wiki article that covers it [08:15] Ezekiel, no, they included variables that you must replace [08:15] Ezekiel, because they are specific to your system [08:16] titan dont bother. he wanted to be spoonfed [08:16] IntuitiveNipple: thanks a lot.. after the purge, everything seems to be working fine (mysql installed peacefully) [08:16] moin [08:16] IntuitiveNipple: the bug report has the right conclusion in the end.. the suggestion works [08:17] IntuitiveNipple: thank you for you help, that wiki article would be awesome, so the modules that are listed in the .config file are not in the right place to be included when i compile the initrd image [08:17] ? [08:17] IntuitiveNipple: or at least something along those lines [08:18] stoic_, if you are trying to compile a custom kernel in ubuntu, your just giving yourself a headache, its not supported nor recommended [08:18] stoic_, it can work as for learning but ubuntu kernel compiling will not really carry over to other distro where it is supported [08:18] IntuitiveNipple: before I do the stupid thing again.. I know you might know, but is it safe to delete the anonymous account? [08:19] IntuitiveNipple: i know deleting the debian-sys account landed me in a whole lot of trouble :p [08:19] Titan8990: is there a better way to get squashfs 1.0 support with lzma as well ? [08:19] stoic_: update-initramfs will include a 'default' set of modules depending on the MODULES setting in /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf [08:19] IntuitiveNipple: i'm using mysql-admin to look at the accounts and it shows me a one with no user name (and is identified as anonymous) [08:19] How is "popularity" measured in Add/Remove Applications? [08:19] IntuitiveNipple: cool thanks, ill take that wiki wheneve you get a chance [08:19] auli: If it has no permissions GRANTed then it won't be an issue [08:19] I've got a problem with knetworkmanager. It starts connecting to our wireless, then it just gives up. It works on other Kubuntu laptops, but not on this one. It worked yesterday though. Tried a different wireless adapter and the GNOME version of nm; no luck. [08:20] IntuitiveNipple: i'll just verify that.. [08:20] stoic_, are you attempting to build a livecd?

[08:21] can anyone pls tell me why openvpn client does not recognize the WLAN connection? this seems to be a known bug? [08:21] !bugreport [08:21] Sorry, I don't know anything about bugreport [08:21] IntuitiveNipple, I was trying to tell him that custom kernels are not supported in ubuntu.... [08:21] !bug [08:21] If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug report at: http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu - Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [08:21] Titan8990: I appreciate the education man but my entire intention with ubuntu was to mount a squashfs image that I found out was 1.x which 3.x is not backwards compatable so I can extract it I have come to find out just not mount it, but I get a zlib and lzma error when trying to extract so I need to compile a kernel that corresponds with an lzma patch so that I can edit the recovery file for my modem [08:22] Titan8990: sorry, was uneccisary for all that speal, but I need to learn to compile my own kernel regardless if im gonna be using linux [08:22] IntuitiveNipple: thank you for all your help [08:23] anybody able to help me with a problem using synaptic [08:23] stoic_, you picked one of the most difficult to do it on [08:23] stoic_: I have this stuff almost every day; you get used to it eventually :) [08:23] stoic_, because of the total lack of support for it [08:24] stoic_, even things such as alsa driver in ubuntu are dependant on the fact that you don't have a custom kernel [08:24] i think i screwed synaptic up when i tried to create and install an rpm package through alien [08:24] Titan8990: yea ive come to find out that ubunto wasnt the best choice but the custom kernel is only for a singular purpose [08:24] stoic_: Just as an aside... why not do the testing in a virtual machine (KVM/QEMU/etc.) rather than on the bare hardware? [08:25] stoic_, and.. with custom kernels, you don't need initrd because you can build in the need filesystem and sata drivers [08:25] anybody? [08:25] !ask | alagor_the_drago [08:25] alagor_the_drago: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [08:26] Titan8990: windoze abuse, the only virtual machine ive had experience with is cygwin, and was under the impression the the better choice was to install linux on a spare machine [08:26] alagor_the_drago, you haven't stated the actaul problem [08:26] stoic_, cygwin is not a VM [08:26] !nvidia [08:26] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [08:26] stoic_, and I didn't make the VM suggestion [08:26] Titan8990: well there you have it [08:26] stoic_: If you're on Windows you could use Vmware or VirtualBox I believe. [08:26] IntuitiveNipple: well there you have it, I dont know [08:27] stoic_, cygwin just replicates a UNIX API. a VM runs an OS inside of another OS [08:27] Titan8990: I C [08:28] Well the choices I made led me here and im just dealing with it one problem at a time [08:28] but definately noted about VM [08:28] i've noticed that on my xfs filesystem unpacking debs is really slow, is that because small files arent really performing well on XFS? [08:29] Titan8990: thank you for your help, prolly see you around [08:29] stoic_, alright [08:29] here's my problem it keeps giving me these errors : E: The package bochs needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it. [08:29] E: Internal error opening cache (1). Please report. [08:29] when i load synaptic and nothing i've done has fixed it i've tried copy and pasting the archive into the cache and still nothing anybody know something that might help? [08:29] alagor_the_drago: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:29] IntuitiveNipple: thank you for your help, prolly see you around [08:29] stoic_: There's an alternative to the custom kernel... possibly. Build *just* the squashfs v1.x driver using DKMS (Dynamic Kernel Module Support) with a slightly different name and alias to the regular one in the default kernel. [08:30] IntuitiveNipple: ill look up dkms [08:31] can anyone help with custom resolutions under the nV restricted driver? trying to get 1440x1080_50.00 for PAL playback [08:31] IntuitiveNipple: seems a little above my head at the moment [08:31] hi. i'm still trying to get internet access with my ubuntu install. i'm using a belkin wireless g+ mimo adapter (usb). if i type lsusb, it shows it listed under bus 001, device 002 [08:31] IntuitiveNipple: ill start with the wiki article and move to dkms search [08:31] stoic_: good luck with that :) [08:32] IntuitiveNipple: prolly need it [08:32] IntuitiveNipple: thanks [08:32] i've modprobed rt73 [08:32] but if i type iwconfig, nothing is listed [08:33] i'm getting errors regaurding the cache in synaptic its unable to find the rpm package i converted and installed as a debian package using alien and now will not start up would anyone know how to solve this ?

[09:00] Hi! I recently installed ubuntu 8.10 server, but my CPU does not support PAE(Physical Address Extension), thus the kernel fails at bootup stating the CPU does not support PAE [09:00] is there a prebuilt kernel i can use with PAE disabled? [09:00] VegarnSCG: what hardware are you running on ? [09:00] VegarnSCG: a laptop by any chance ? [09:01] it's an Advantech industrial computer which should be able to take a hit or two [09:02] VegarnSCG: use the generic kernel then, any specific reason you're using a server install ? [09:02] the CPU is an intel celeron 600MHZ [09:02] VegarnSCG: ok - so the CPU is rubbish, that makes sense [09:02] VegarnSCG: why not use a desktop install ? [09:02] no reason other than its purpose is to be a server [09:02] Been trying LXDE for two days now to that I have no problems like on Gnome, which are (just some of them): Problems with flash, lockups, instability of applications...is Gnome responsible, or maybe Compiz? [09:02] ikonia^ ? [09:02] VegarnSCG: the Desktop install would be a better target [09:02] archman: what ? [09:02] ikonia: okay, thanks [09:02] VegarnSCG: the destkop version makes a great server [09:02] ikonia: above [09:03] hi i installed ubuntu intrepid....how do i install the ralink wireless...on my acer 4730Z [09:03] VegarnSCG: and you can always disable X11 if you don't want a desktop [09:03] okay, i'll try that, thanks ikonia [09:03] archman: thats a pretty open question [09:03] ikonia, hmm...maybe I should try disabling compiz? [09:04] Why do GNOME Alsa Mischpult and Volume Contro (Alsa mixer) show Chip="Realtek ALC883" but ~$ lspci | grep Audio "Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW "?

[09:04] ikonia, with Amarok [09:04] bullgard4: pastebin your lspci output [09:05] ikonia, what would you test first? [09:05] hey all! is there anyone here on this channel who has experience with ad hoc wireless setups?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [09:07] where are the ubuntu config files stored for instance where you edit daemons network etc [09:08] and modules [09:08] bullgard4: very interesting [09:08] Boohbah, I use output: ALSA as default, xine engine in Amarok [09:08] much like /etc/rc.conf [09:08] sprockets2000: generally in /etc [09:08] sprockets2000: what specific file are you looking for? [09:08] bullgard4: the only thing I can think of is that either a.) the wrong audio module is being detected/loaded b.) the module descritption is wrong c.) bug in the gui [09:08] im used to /etc/rc.conf so whichever file name controls interfaces, modules and daemons [09:09] sprockets2000: depends on the daemon where they are configured [09:09] sprockets2000: At quite different locations. First choice: /etc [09:09] well i have 2 questions 1st why my html projects work great in unix but in windows the pages look like a complete mess.and 2nd i can;t watch flash videos more than 2 secs they just stuck [09:10] M3rl1nn: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newline [09:10] Hi, I want to use xrandr with my ati card on my ubuntu pc, but when i run xrandr it only shows one screen with 3360x1050 instead of 2 * 1680x1050..

[09:19] ikonia: fair enough [09:19] Joemac1: just thinking out loud [09:20] what a bunch of morons arging about FIrefox, and if you knew me you would know that I am quite the Firefox fan, even though, the Ubuntu version, likes to bugger up here a lot. 32bit with 1GB RAM [09:20] how do I convert mpeg file to h.264 mp4 ipod video [09:20] anyone can help [09:20] i agree with seb, ubuntus package of firefox is subpar. even windows firefox runs smoother [09:20] hi, i got a problem. when i try to install linux on my laptop. on linux prompt on live cd says i got fat16 and in diskpart windows says i have ntfs [09:21] * g4lt-lappy points out aht 32-bit builds make no difference until 2G of RAM, which is the 32-bit address space boundary [09:21] Joemac1: please don't talk about things you don't know [09:21] gah - if I run wireshark on the wifi interface it freezes - even after enabling monitor mode...? [09:21] mint3: what version of ubuntu [09:21] 'jaseshow me the difference [09:21] jase1, ^^^^ [09:21] jase1: sorry that was for you not Joemac1 [09:21] Joemac1: apologies to you [09:22] in fact, anyone that desires to bash ubuntu's firefox, show me quantitative differences [09:22] If I try to write the image using the commadline and i run the dmesg command what ifo should I get out of it? [09:22] g4lt-lappy: there isn't one as we know [09:22] ikonia: huh? I am having issues wit hbooting up, and there is a lot of stuff about sr0 error, sr0 logical block that I don't understand, I wasn't stating anything, just asking advice [09:22] g4lt-lappy: try it out for yourself. i understand if you dont believe me but as a former windows user i know for a fact that it can run smoother than ubuntu's version [09:22] Joemac1: sorry - wasn't you [09:22] Joemac1: it was a miss-type [09:22] jase1: it's not "ubuntus version" [09:22] ikonia: fair enough [09:22] anyone [09:22] jase1, I'm using it on the two platforms simultaneously as we speak [09:22] mint3: you're using mint are you not ? [09:23] g4lt-lappy: it is ubuntu's version because the method they compile and the dependcies they use. [09:23] no [09:23] mint3: ooh really ? [09:23] ubuntu ikonia [09:24] jase1, and it's the windows group's version because of the same things [09:24] hey ...how do I convert mpeg file to h.264 mp4 ipod video [09:24] mint3: what are you trying to do ? [09:24] is it possible to use dhcp but still set a static ip address? (i.e. only getting dns info etc from dhcp) [09:24] trying to install ubuntu on my laptop, ikonia [09:24] wijnand: you can reserve ranges with dhcp [09:24] wijnand, client-side, not easily. server-side, you can set up static IP assignemnts via DHCP [09:24] i got 1 hard drive on which i have vista running [09:24] mint3: ok - so what does it matter what the command line says - you're using the ubuntu installer gui [09:25] well, when i installed it on my desktop, i could grab the bar when doing the partitioning to assign such or such space to vista and such for ubuntu [09:25] g4lt-lappy: i dont believe so. you can comile firefox with different dependcy versions and have it still run. anyways im not here to bash anything. i am making an observation as a user. [09:25] i dont find it there [09:26] hello everyone [09:26] mint3: to resize a windows partition on the fly you need to have unallocated space [09:26] are there any IRC users of Ubuntu in the Ukraine? [09:26] mint3: not free space unallocated [09:26] I went to the chat room [09:26] !ru | mint3 [09:26] mint3: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [09:26] and nobody was there. [09:26] mint3: sorry - not you [09:26] !ru | Mike_H [09:26] Mike_H: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [09:26] ikonia: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:27] ikonia: I am in #ubuntu-ru, I think people are busy maybe? [09:27] Mike_H: possibly [09:27] jase1: firefox runs better on windows because the windows version of firefox is simply better than the linux version [09:27] Is there no dedicated channel for Ubuntu users in the Ukraine? [09:27] isn't it working hours in .ru? [09:27] if i were to fresh install ubuntu to a different partition, then delete the non home folder data, and adjust the grub entry, would i have a problem? [09:27] crdlb, horsefeathers, ITS THE SAME [09:27] Boohbah: thanks [09:27] g4lt-lappy: i looked at the setup of our router and sadly couldn't find a place where to do that [09:27] g4lt-lappy: it is also working hours in .ua :) [09:27] ikonia: ok? [09:28] g4lt-lappy: uh, no the backend is completely different [09:28] g4lt-lappy: i'd imagine you gonna tell me that safari is the same on windows and mac also? [09:28] wijnand, well, it's on the server side, youo may have a bit of a session with your router's manual to figure out how to do it. on the client side, it's more than painful [09:28] Mike_H: ubuntu-ru is [09:28] crdlb, have you built it on the two? [09:28] win32 firefox runs quite well in wine I hear :) [09:28] ikonia: Oh, the Ukrainians use #ubuntu-ru? [09:28] Mike_H: I believe so [09:28] g4lt-lappy: have I built what? [09:29] g4lt-lappy: that's a pity.. well thanks :) [09:29] Do you know any Ukrainian chatters? I need to speak with someone from Ubuntu-UA. [09:29] jase1, given it's never even occured to me to look for safari for windoze, no [09:29] Mike_H: you've been told 3 times [09:29] crdlb, firefox, have you successfuloly built it on both wihn and linux? [09:29] im not a fan of firefox anyways its had a serious problem with memory issues once you get so many tabs open. [09:29] * g4lt-lappy has [09:29] jase1, solved in ver3 [09:29] g4lt-lappy: why would I build firefox on windows? [09:30] :( [09:30] g4lt-lappy: no its not solved. its still there [09:30] crdlb, so you'd not be talking crud whne you talk about the differences [09:30] dude im hella new to this half the things on here i dont know how to do,the link kinda helped but ..i dont know wat im doin [09:30] took me 2 whole weeks to even install the drivers [09:30] blue: compiz support is in #compiz-fusion [09:30] g4lt-lappy: ? I'm talking about how it runs; how would watching code compile change that? [09:31] hii [09:31] hi [09:31] crdlb: g4lt-lappy is just a fanboy. he is biased. [09:31] crdlb, you said "they have different backends". how would you know that unless you built it? [09:31] #compiz-fusion is that a terminal command? [09:31] jase1: that's not what he's saying [09:31] g4lt-lappy: because firefox does not depend on gdk on win32 [09:32] HINT: firefox has a serious java component: java is "compile once, run everywhere" for a reason [09:32] g4lt-lappy: javascript, not java [09:32] it does, to an extent. they remake gdk in MFC [09:32] Hey everyone... semi new Ubuntu users... full windows nuke no dualboot... loving it. Anyways what recommendations would any of you have for sound software for playing music for large venues for thousands of people. No techno or club venues... more like ice capades type shows [09:32] g4lt-lappy: crdlb: http://tuxradar.com/content/benchmarked-firefox-javascript-linux-and-windows-and-its-not-pretty [09:32] hi all [09:33] djnel: any of the linux audio players are fine [09:33] !hi | AideN [09:33] AideN: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [09:33] djnel, have you played much with medibuntu? [09:33] djnel: how it comes out will not really be anything to do with the software [09:33] g4lt-lappy: i personally think ff2 is better than ff3. sure ff3 is faster at rendering and loading, but when you start browsing it shows more wear [09:33] i have a problem to instal ubuntu on my notebook [09:33] I boot my ubuntu CD [09:33] "3 pakages will be held back and not upgraded" [09:33] click on install ubuntu [09:34] and it say after a wile /casper/vmlinuz [09:34] ok, i've folled the ubuntu instructions for using/installing ndiswrapper, have installed the windows drivers using ndisgtk and checked they were installed correctly and it says they have. however, typing ifconfig, still doesn't list any wlan0 or wlan1 entries. [09:34] linuxnoob, hmm, my wlan card is eth2 [09:34] g4lt, no... im a stagehand on a tour with an opportunity to land a sound gig... ive djed in the past... my laptop has a decent sound card and i know what pc's can do... is it worth checking out? [09:35] * jase1 is planning in trying out http://www.twotoasts.de/index.php?/pages/midori_summary.html to replace ff [09:35] ikonia, duh... but software.... effectss...... ease of use, cmon dude what kind of resonse is that [09:35] :( [09:35] djnel: what ? [09:35] im looking for features... i know the sound will be the same [09:35] why means the error /casper/vmlinuz when i try to install? [09:36] what* [09:36] djnel: you've not said what features you're looking for [09:36] djnel: linux sound software is nowhere near windows or mac for functionality or ease of use... [09:37] djnel, medibuntu (buntu Studio) is basically Ubuntu with all the video and audio authoring and playing software you can imagine [09:37] percussion, one click sample mixing, uncluttered yet functional interface [09:37] awesome thx g4 I'll check it out [09:37] Boohbah, why are you even in #ubintu if you don't like the stuff? [09:38] If I want to run this command sudo dd if=/path/to/your/downloaded.img of=/dev/device/you/saw/in/dmesg bs=1M What should the of=/dev/... part look like? [09:38] is there a easy way to just have the defaulted effects? [09:38] g4lt-lappy: what stuff are you referring to? [09:38] i have changed video card (My geoForge FX 5200 with an Ati sapphire HD 2600 PRO). At first boot i have resumed xorg.conf.failsafe, saving also actual xorg.conf in another file. Then PC start in VESA and suddently ask me to activate propretary driver for the new video card (It's necessary to reboot and so i do). Post start normally... it seem to carge Linux kubuntu, but at this point - Black screen (no cursor,no pointer) [09:38] g4lt-lappy, only thing listed is lo [09:38] djnel: this site has some good links http://linux-sound.org/ [09:38] Boohbah, you racked of firefox, you rackked on audio software, is there actually something in Ubuntu that you'll actually admit that's usefukl? [09:39] linuxnoob, that's not good :( [09:39] what should i do? [09:39] linuxnoob, the modules successfully loaded? (try dmesg to see) [09:39] g4lt-lappy: i have used linux as my primary desktop OS for ten years... just speaking from experience [09:40] g4lt-lappy: ubuntu is kind of lacking on proper sound setup. just look at the forums riddled with issues over it. [09:40] g4lt-lappy, ndiswrapper -l shows the driver as loaded correctly and lsusb shows my adapter as present [09:41] boohbah thx [09:42] jase1, really? I've never had any problems with sound on any debian variant since the Debian project was initiated [09:42] i tried the forum link that you gave me but [09:43] i cant really understand wat to do [09:43] blue: compiz support is in the channel #compiz-fusion [09:43] hey guys, is there a "Check List" kinda like notepad software anyone can recommend maybe for ubuntu for daily usage of tasks ? thanks... [09:43] g4lt-lappy: me either, but that doesnt mean anything. there are thousands of people with issues. id say at least 40% of all new users have issues with it. further let me mention i am not bashing ubuntu. i like ubuntu. its alot more responsive than windows. it does have issues though wether you want to believe so or not [09:43] no operating system is without flaws [09:43] ubuntu isnt perfect [09:44] jase1, just none that you've brought up [09:44] jase1: where did you get that %40 figure from ? [09:44] WeazelON: tomboy? [09:45] simplexio, never heard of it, thanks i'lll go check it out [09:45] ikonia: it was an estimate. not fact. [09:45] jase1: estimate based on what ? [09:45] jase1: as I said earleir - don't make random things up [09:45] ubuntu/ are good long as they work, after that you need to have time and knowlegde make it work [09:45] no one is alive there lol [09:46] is there an eclipse-pdt package for intrepid ibex? [09:46] intrepid's old [09:47] jaunty will be out in 29 days [09:47] g4lt-lappy, wow! loads of info displayed, at the end it says usbcore, ndiswrapper loaded or something to that affect. the machine in question is next door!

[09:49] :) [09:49] i am currently editing a website. i set it up to use my localhost (LAMP setup). My edited images are not loading whereas the original images DO load [09:50] are you using relative paths in your html? [09:50] the original and edited images are of the same pixel size. the file sizes are also quite close (14.3kb and 14.6kb) [09:50] jaunty will still be buggy for a bit [09:51] jase1, i shouldn't have to worry about that as i replaced the images itself. I am not editing the html / css paths [09:51] temporarytao: if they arent loading i wouldnt be so sure. it could have put full paths in. i would check the code [09:51] i have changed video card. At first boot it start in text mode, so have resumed xorg.conf.failsafe, saving also actual xorg.conf in another file. Then reboot and PC start in basic config... suddently it asks me to activate propretary driver for the new video card (It's necessary to reboot and so i do). Post start normally... it seems to charge Linux, but at this point - Black screen (no cursor,no pointer).. what shouldo I do? [09:52] already did that. if i replaced the edited image with the original one, the images do load. [09:52] Hi all. I'm having a problem trying to compile latest version of tokyocabinet on ubuntu intrepid. (http://pastie.textmate.org/private/txyxraqia4bbopbw84urw). I'm not really sure what those errors mean during the configure and googling has dug up anything relevant. I was hoping someone on this list could give me a hand...Thanks in advance... [09:52] temporarytao: can you fetch them using wget? [09:52] are you able to load the edits in your photo editor? do they have the same extenstion tag as the original? or just filename without extension === scfh_ is now known as scfh [09:53] IntuitiveNipple, i am working on my local computer. the files are saved on my harddrive.

[09:53] IntuitiveNipple, i am running LAMP, accessing the site through a localhost [09:54] temporarytao: if you're using localhost you can use wget [09:54] IntuitiveNipple, no error, just a blank area where the image is supposed to be. [09:54] temporarytao: That'll tell you if there are any protocol errors [09:54] okay. trying now. [09:54] temporarytao: have you flushed the cache? === scfh is now known as scfh_ [09:55] can you resize an ntfs partition when you install ubuntu? === scfh_ is now known as scfh [09:55] hi - does anyone have a GRAPHICS TABLET? could you please help me with the /etc/hal/fdi/policy/99-x11-wizardpen.fdi? [09:56] IntuitiveNipple, having trouble with the wget line. what address should i use? [09:56] IntuitiveNipple, how do i flush the cache? [09:56] temporarytao: wget http://localhost/path/to/file [09:57] temporarytao: In Firefox, to refresh without using cache use, I think, Shift+F5 or Ctrl+F5 - I always forget which one [09:57] IntuitiveNipple, ah, the shift+alt+del function? [09:57] did that already [09:58] Sonderblade: yes you can provided you have freespace and the ntfs is on a primary partition and not extended [09:58] linuxnoob, well, the ndiswrapper is good, did it actually get the NDIS driver though? [09:58] temporarytao: using wget you should be able to then inspect the 'downloaded' file it fetches [09:58] IntuitiveNipple, i get "ERROR 403: Forbidden" [09:59] temporarytao: permissions of the file then? [09:59] temporarytao: wwwdata probably doesn't have permissions to the new files you've created [09:59] im thinking that your files are either a) named wrong b) in the wrong folder or c) got the wrong permision on them [10:00] IntuitiveNipple, prolly. where do i access wwwdata and how do i give it access to the files i made? [10:00] g4lt-lappy, it would appear that the id given for my usb adapter is not listed on the bdiswrapper list :( [10:01] ndiswrapper even [10:01] hi - does anyone have a GRAPHICS TABLET? could you please help me with the /etc/hal/fdi/policy/99-x11-wizardpen.fdi? tnx [10:01] temporarytao: You should check the current ownership/permissions of the files you're modifying using "ls -l /path/to/file" and use "chown" or "chmod" as required to correct any issues [10:02] so i gather one of these, http://www.thaiinternetwork.com/products/item/WL050942.jpg , doesn't work with linux :( [10:02] IntuitiveNipple, corrected it. right click>permissions. added read only to my account. hmmm.....learned something new with ubuntu today [10:03] oh well, i'll just have to grab an eee pc with linux on it! best way for a linucx noob to get a working system, lol! ;) [10:03] IntuitiveNipple, just for trivia, had i exported it directly to the webhost, would it also not have worked because of the permissions? [10:03] temporarytao: That's standard web-server stuff... permissions as restrictive as possible [10:04] temporarytao: It probably would have worked depending on how you 'exported' it - if it took those permissions then probably not, but if it inherited the permissions of the correct user on the server, then it would [10:04] jase1: is it usually on the primary partition? the ntfs partition is the default isntall of vista [10:04] IntuitiveNipple, thanks for the help. learned something new today. [10:04] linuxnoob: what version is your belkin and whats the product id [10:05] Sonderblade: usually unless you have made partitions prior to installing vista [10:06] jase1, product id is f5d9050, ver. 3001uk === sleepy_cat is now known as c_nick [10:07] jase1, model # f5d9050b [10:08] linuxnoob: http://web.ralinktech.com/ralink/Home/Support/Linux.html [10:08] My fan has been running all the time lately, is there anything I can do to check it out?

I am unable to use xawtv, camorama or luvcview on this /dev/video1....

I don't want to use it with skype, but within a C++ program.

It doesn't make sense... something is wrong. unless it was loaded previously because of my laptop camera [11:22] i think smplayer is unnecessary, mplayer is great on its own [11:22] ActionParsnip1, please, where i found the flash-plugin, but not the nonfree? in adobe website?

[13:33] Pici thanks ...that worked [13:33] use the linux alternative to WoW. nethack ;) [13:33] Joe__: you Could use wine, then it installs like windows. [13:33] how can i update my kernal from 2.6.24 to 2.6.26+ [13:33] without usuing net on the system in question [13:33] so, how do i figure out the mount point for my fm and tv tuners my video card supports? [13:34] gartral: do the FM and TV tuners on that card have Linux drivers? [13:34] Joe__: if you really really want WoW, get Wine [13:34] i have wine [13:34] gartral: did the vendor make some? did they allow the Linux community to make some? [13:34] Joe__: then you should be able to put the cd in and run the exe (with wine) [13:34] what would i need to type into the terminal to shutdown my pc as a normal user (not root)? [13:35] oma-opa: not possible. [13:35] i dont have a cd [13:35] Joe__: but also you should google it because I think it is a common task. [13:35] oma-opa: 'sudo halt' normally - but you can fix it where you dont need a sudo [13:35] mneptok: ive seen linux systems running this card use the tv tuner, yes, but no clue for the FM, beyond that, i have no idea, i would assume nvidias restricted drivers would cover all that, as this is an MX 400 [13:35] hi, how do i disable bluez. because when i have bluez activated my bt mouse and keyboard doesn't work, but it works when bluez is uninstalled. but i dont' want to have bluez uninstalled because then ubuntu-standard metapackage is removed too. [13:35] oma-opa: there is no good reason a non-privileged user should be able to cycle or shutdown the system. [13:36] oma-opa: just close the window and open terminal again [13:36] odinsbane: actually a lot of times i've tried running software in that manor and it hasn't worked but i guess it would depend on the software [13:36] alagor_the_drago: in what manner? I was implying wine setup.exe. [13:36] mneptok: i suppose going and installing mythTV or tvtime and seeing if they recognise it would work, hmm? [13:37] it is about the red button to turn off the pc I thought about creating a new button, that activates a command, which would turn off the PC [13:37] odinsbane: putting in a cd for something say WoW and having wine run it ? [13:37] proberly better to install WoW via the online installer setup program. not he cd/dvd [13:37] !winehq [13:37] Sorry, I don't know anything about winehq [13:37] dr_willis precisely what i was saying [13:37] !appdb [13:37] The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [13:37] !tv [13:37] http://www.linuxtv.org/ has extensive information about using TV cards under Linux. Available viewers for analog cards: Zapping, tvtime (GTK/GNOME), Kaffeine, kdetv (KDE), xawtv, motv. For digital cards: Me-TV (GNOME), Klear (KDE), dvb-utils. For both analog and digital cards, !MythTV is a powerful framework. Your card may work the !IVTV drivers. See also !TV-Out [13:38] i have magic jack phone service any way i can get that running on wine or ubuntu at all ? [13:39] alagor_the_drago: I've never installed something via online installers with wine. [13:39] gartral: that's a big assumption. before you start actually trying to make it work, you should see what nVidia believes this card can do with their Linux drivers. [13:39] I do $cd-~ /desktop bash says /home/carl/Desktop is a directory I do sudo alien -p ibm-java-ppc-jre-6.04-4.0.ppc.rpm and it says ibm..... not found [13:39] gartral: again, what you are describing is an hours-long process. why not just go look at the nVidia Linux documentation? it may well say "The FM tuner does not work with our Linux driver." in which case 3 minutes of research saves 3 hours of frustration. [13:39] so what am i doing wrong [13:39] odinsbane: you must be alful lucky then i've almost every time had to use online installers unless it was decent comercial software [13:40] anyone know of any C libraries for accessing webcams? [13:40] i don't want to hear no mention of icedtea plugin for ppc because it simply does not work for yahoo games [13:40] I am trying to share internet with the client computer but it is not sharing? [13:40] mneptok: have you ever tried getting info off of nvidias site, its quite painfull [13:41] gartral: this is why i don't buy nVidia hardware [13:41] mneptok: and besides, this is a legacy card, and there documention is lacking [13:42] mneptok: do you have an ATI graphic card? [13:42] mmm ok further research shows htop upon reboot firefox 8 instances at 175mb each firefox only at google search page, gnome do 5 instances at 125 mb each, pidgin 5 instances at 172 mb each whereas gnome sys monitor shows only one of each with different memory allocations ?? both monitors report processes being used by my user name [13:42] alagor_the_drago: I didn't say it always works. [13:43] HammerHead66: Intel [13:43] hammerhead66 : i have an ati and my instalation was pretty simple i just had to kill off extra graphics features and install the propietary driver so that it could have a little more function after that i could set my res and everything high as i wanted whatever [13:43] alagor_the_drago: is the online installer wine or something else. [13:43] Does anyone know the "/var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/control" (file not found) problem during apt-get install? Is there a fix for that. I cannot install a single package.. [13:43] iMatter Are you there >? [13:43] ok hay if anyone has ATI radeon graphic card I know how to install the drivers for it [13:44] the right way [13:44] odinsbane: actually i'm pretty sure i stated i'm installing things for linux through wine not installing wine for linux either way i suppose its a valid question so yes its a windows program i'm installing however currently i'm not installing anything unless someone can tell me how to fix up my magic jack phone service to run on linux [13:44] HammerHead66 doesn't apt-get offer you a propreatery driver to install? [13:44] where are the archives downloadd from synpatic get saved ?? [13:45] I have a sound card and some other built in sound stuff that came with Dell, and flash plays through one and all other sounds play though the other is there anyway to integrate the two so I only have to have one set of speakers === F333--- is now known as EM______________ [13:45] Kimi they're in "/var/cache/apt/archives". [13:45] for some reason it does not load it right and it makes more problems [13:45] ok [13:45] aquine thanks very much [13:45] np [13:46] Aquina: it also makes it were you can use 3D support [13:46] alagor_the_drago: What is a magic jack phone? [13:46] Aquina: it won't turn your screen black [13:47] how do you use alien to change an rpm that is on your desktop to a.deb [13:47] carl_: man alient [13:47] how can I see how much cpu use each application using command line? [13:47] b4chip: top [13:47] mneptok: it appears as though the card does have internal drivers for tv and fm, and all i need is a tv tuner app [13:47] carl_: but doing that is not really recommended unless it's like a static built application [13:47] htop is better [13:47] aquina: lol its a little usb flash drive you plug into your computer and it has a phone jack so you can plugin a phone and its cheaper than a landline so thats what i use on my windows partition [13:47] is it possible to upgrade some packages to the jaunty versions without moving my whole system to jaunty? [13:47] carl_: which software are you trying to install? [13:48] Aquina: one that works when it's not plugged in. [13:48] how do i get ubuntu to detect my dual screen setup? [13:48] i have a ppc g4 laptop and ibm java is the only way to to have java [13:48] rohdef: no it's not recommended to do that since you will have a half broken system [13:48] for yahoo games [13:48] I see, lagor_the_drago. [13:48] !aptfix [13:48] If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [13:48] so i downloaded the rpm from ibm [13:48] carl_: well soon you might get regular java with the talks that been happening [13:48] carl_: yes you can use alien on that I believe [13:49] I guess it's some kinda softmodem/winmodem. Can be though to run such hardware through wine layer. [13:49] yah ibm buying sun? [13:49] carl_: seems to be [13:49] aquina : was that directed at me ? [13:49] carl_: there is talk about it.

But will it not put its own bootloader in the partition ? What must I do to make sure I can boot ubunto again after the xp re-install ? [14:14] Necesito ayuda con un comandooo!!

[14:15] jose, you could add an alarm to Evolution to do this kind of things [14:16] jose, of course not exactly the same you are asking for [14:16] thanks [14:17] i have this configuration : main hard disk with 4 partitions ( windows vista x64 + kubuntu 8.10 x64) with grub booting first from windows vista partition. I want to install from a new partition windows xp 32 bit. How can i do it keeping this configuration? === arvind_k is now known as arvind_khadri [14:19] if for dual boot i have to choose guided resize and use freed spave..... and for complete installation by removing windows... what do i need to do after choosing use entire disk ? === elad is now known as elad` [14:20] Kimi: just use entire disk, that's it [14:20] is there a way in xchat to have it not show me when people join and leave the channel and server? [14:20] LjL then the partition set up ?? wont i needed to change them ? [14:21] Kimi: if you're using the whole disk, it'll just set up a root partition and a swap partition [14:21] Kimi: if you don't like that, then choose manual partitioning instead [14:21] just 2 partitions is enough ? [14:21] cetanhota, yes, it's a /set, but for the life of me, I can't remember what it is [14:21] Kimi: i prefer to have a separate partition for /home personally [14:21] try #xchat [14:21] but yes, it's enough [14:22] g4lt-lappy: thank you thats a start [14:22] LjL thats why i am asking what are all the things that i need to do [14:22] Ok, so I managed to mount a drive, but I'm not sure how to navigate to it via the terminal. I know when I log in I use "ls" and see I'm in the home directory. I use "cd .." to go back/up two steps, and then I see some folders and "crdom" listed and "mnt" listed from another drive earlier that I mounted. How can I identify where this new drive is I just mounted? :-/ [14:22] Kimi: you don't "need" to do anything. you MAY use manual partitioning if you PREFER to deviate from the default setup. [14:23] cetanhota: You should be able to right click on the channel name and select/deselect the show/hide joins & parts in xchat, although if you're using xchat-gnome, i'm not sure whether the option is there [14:23] LjL so just get on "use entire disk" right ? [14:23] LjL i have installed dual booot in 7 of my frnds computer... but i am still in wubi.... because i am not getting resize and use freed spave option ?? any idea ?? ***** i have xp sp2 **** [14:24] LjL i asked it in forum.... they all tell me to do gparted.. but i want that option... cna you please suggest if you knw ? [14:24] Kimi: i don't know about that, the installer should offer that option [14:25] but it didnt [14:25] ok, so whats the ussual default radio device name that i pass to vlc? [14:25] i mean. i didnt get that eventhough i have xp sp2 [14:25] xirrin, you can view where disks are mounted by typing "mount" in the terminal [14:26] isnt it ussually /dev/ra0? [14:27] Hi can anybody help me please, my external is not being mounted, it's formatted to ext3 [14:27] LjL btw , can you tell me what is SWAP, i can understand root very wll [14:27] my sudo fdisk -l see it [14:28] Kimi: swap is space that is used to "swap" things out of RAM when more free RAM is needed, and back into RAM when they're needed again [14:28] Kimi: it's part of the virtual memory addressing mechanism [14:28] badboy_, what is the terminal saying when you try to mount it? [14:28] /dev/sdb1 1 267349 2147480811 7 HPFS/NTFS [14:29] Kimi: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paging [14:29] suku I got the above, I am newbie [14:29] LjL ok... thanks....then it will install like 20 - gb root , and 20 gb swap..... if i have 40 gb hardisk or what ? [14:29] LjL i am @ the link [14:29] Kimi: wha?! no [14:29] badboy_, that is just saying what the disk is... [14:29] how to mount it? [14:29] LjL then ?? what ? [14:29] Kimi: swap should be somewhat proportional to the amount of *RAM* that you have [14:30] maybe he has 10G ram ;P [14:30] badboy_: well, that does not really seem like ext3, is it? It says NTFS [14:30] I thought i formatted it to ext3 [14:30] Something is wrong [14:30] if i give entire disk option.. wont the installer automatically decide it ?? :P [14:30] badboy_, try this... "sudo mkdir /mnt/disk" then "mount -t ntfs /dev/sdb1 /mnt/disk [14:31] badboy_: Yes, so I can tell you how to mount it using NTFS, but maybe you want to format it ext3 anyway? === wijayanto is now known as donamesy [14:31] I used partition manager to format it to ext3, but now i see it's still ntfs. well suku, my objective is to format it to XFS [14:32] badboy_, that's a different subject altogether... [14:32] I tried to used gparted live cd, but it could see it [14:33] Suku, that's the reason I tried to format it to ext3 first, now I see it's not been done [14:33] Does anyone know why when I type "exit" in bash the process will become "" and not quit? [14:33] badboy_, gparted should've seen it - you just might not have chosen the disk from the drop down on the top-left hand side... it is hard to see soemtimes [14:33] gawd how i hate this pulseaudio cr** [14:33] #ubuntu-fi === flips_ is now known as flips01 [14:33] remoteCTRL, well, when it works, it's better than esd. when it works [14:34] Ok, is there a way to run gparted from ubuntu directly? [14:34] g4lt-lappy: yeah i guess so prole is it mostly doesn't [14:34] badboy_, and as far as i know XFS requires the proper tools to be installed to format [14:34] err problem i meant [14:34] I have a mythbuntu box that keeps crashing every few days. There is no display, no response for keyboard/mouse, it doesn't accept ssh or vnc connections, and the lights on the keyboard flash on and off. Tried memtest, 5 passes, no errors. Any ideas? Is there a log I can check? [14:34] badboy_: yes. System menu > administration > partition editor [14:34] badboy_, i believe so as long as the disk isn't in use or mounted [14:35] g4lt-lappy: audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Failed to connect: Connection refused [14:35] hi there, is it possible to enforce apt-get to say "yes" to all questions by default? [14:35] jlevy: if the keyboard lights are flasing its a kernel crash. so the system is dead and no more network [14:35] mm2000: yes | apt-get .. [14:35] mm2000: or -y [14:35] MM2, you could pipe yes to it, i'd suppose, but no guarantees [14:35] mm2000, ^^^^^ [14:36] zash: ok, ty [14:36] user___: is there a log I can look at to see why it happened? [14:36] mm2000: aptitude has a -y [14:36] mm2000: -y, --yes, --assume-yes [14:36] mm2000: --force-yes [14:36] mm2000: from man apt-get [14:36] jlevy: /var/log/messages, though i am not sure it has the actual kernel crash [14:36] user___: I looked there, and it shows all of the startup activity from the reboot, but not the actual crash [14:37] ocean and suku, I see it now from the drop down menu. But unfortunately the XFS is grey out [14:37] can i use approx by itself, as a caching proxy? [14:37] user___: Is there any established way to go about troubleshooting this? [14:37] badboy_, you will probably need to install the XFS tools [14:38] jlevy: maybe the log file was just rotated at the time of reboot, so might have to go back one step in history. just ls -al /var/log/ you will find it [14:38] suku how to do that? [14:38] badboy_, i assume they are in the package manager somewhere... [14:38] kc8pxy: what do you mean "by itself"? [14:38] user___: I'll look... [14:38] badboy_: suku it is called "xfsprogs", and yes it is in the repos [14:39] jlevy: i would say that the display shows a kernel dump, pictures of kernel dumps are ok nowaways [14:39] can anyone tell me why pulseaudio is still running 3 threads after /etc/init.d/pulseaudio stop ? [14:39] got it now, downloading it [14:39] jlevy: mythbuntu channel can give you more hints on which log files to check [14:39] badboy_, as oCean_ said, you can either install it from the package manager by searching for xfsprogs or go to the terminal and type "sudo apt-get install xfsprogs" [14:40] user___: not sure I understand what you are saying about a kernel dump. [14:40] thanks guys, downloaded it already and installed, last thing, how to run the xfs program? [14:41] badboy_: program? [14:41] xfs tools? [14:41] badboy_, unsure, as i've never used XFS, but i assume gparted should now be able to format [14:41] jlevy: http://prex.sourceforge.net/screenshots/dump.png [14:41] good afternoon every body.... [14:42] badboy_: on commandline do a "dpkg -L xfsprogs" and you will see all related commands. Like xfs_copy, xfs_admin, xfs_check etc [14:42] jlevy: not exactly the same, but similar, low lewel technical output at time of kernel crash [14:42] user___: If i could only find that... [14:42] jlevy: what does mythbuntu channel say so far? [14:43] user___: I'll go ask there [14:44] Ocean thanks got it mkfs.xfs [14:45] Thanks suku and 0cean [14:45] I have a GeForce 4 Ti 4200 and sometimes windows show up white, is that due to insufficient VRAM or what?

[14:50] Errietta: In nautilus, right-click on folder and choose properties. Then "open with" tab. I think you have to 'add' dolphin there, then set that for folders [14:52] is there a irc room for eee pc 1000h users??

I think it needs a location specified (e.g. disk/directory).. It should be in the manpage. [15:10] thanks for your help oCean [15:10] no the projector handles 1024x768 but when I try to set that resolution using the Nvidia Setting panel it won't let me go higher then 640x480 [15:10] alt f-2 and what to run my menu bars on xubuntu?

[15:35] partition 3 is reiserfs [15:35] im not sure [15:35] its actually ubuntu studio [15:35] sayuncle: you must know what ubuntu version you're installing [15:35] 8.10 [15:35] sayuncle: ok - thats fine [15:36] sayuncle: so when it comes to partitioning are you selecting "manual" ? [15:36] yes [15:36] sayuncle: ok - and at this part you select what partition goes on what mountpoint, yes ? [15:36] yes [15:36] but [15:36] what does that mean [15:36] sayuncle: how can you say "yes" when you don't know what it means ? [15:36] does anyone know gsynaptics? [15:37] XPS_M1330: for the touchpads ? [15:37] hi :) anyone know of a good command line address book apart from abook?

[15:37] this is an overview of your currently configured partitions and mount points. [15:38] zeltak2: is vcf text readable ? [15:38] kc8pxy: you'll have to use squid or some other real http proxy i think. but you could also just instruct apt to use a proxy, while leaving the rest of the system directly connected to stuff. i think you can do that by adding « Acquire::http::Proxy "http://proxy:8080"; » to your /etc/apt/apt.conf.d [15:38] its from kde kaddressbook [15:38] sayuncle: ok - so you have to change them to use the mount points you want [15:38] so yes i guess [15:38] select a partition to modify its settings (file sysetem, mount point, etc.), [15:38] sayuncle: correct, so modify it to use the partitions/mount points you want [15:38] hey there [15:38] anyone know of a linux client for a light online game?

[15:39] partition settings: [15:39] You have to set 'SHMConfig' 'true' in xorg.conf or XF86Config to use GSynaptics [15:39] use as : do not use [15:39] bootable flag : off [15:41] Do I have to create a new section in xorg.conf ? [15:41] ikonia: do you know if there is a guide somewhere onhow to do it? [15:41] XPS_M1330: don't quote me, but I remember something very recently where those parameters have had the name changed in xorg [15:41] so do i need to change filesystem? [15:41] XPS_M1330: no they would be in the device "pointing" section [15:41] how do i turn off gnome's smooth scrolling crap? [15:41] sayuncle: if you want to install ubuntu on it - you have to set a file system yes [15:41] what's the best ubuntu version so far? 8.04? [15:41] ikonia: there's no suck section in my xorg.conf [15:41] Kootrapali: that is the LTS section [15:41] XPS_M1330: suck section ? [15:41] Kootrapali: LTS build sorry [15:41] and the best for ubuntu is? [15:41] sayuncle: ext3 is the default [15:41] ikonia, LTS is bad? [15:41] Kootrapali: LTS = Long Term Support [15:41] Kootrapali: the opposie, very good [15:41] I only have device, monitor and screen [15:41] what about mount point [15:41] !best > Kootrapali [15:41] Kootrapali, please see my private message [15:41] what should i select there? [15:41] XPS_M1330: ok - so don't talk nonsense about a "suck" section [15:41] sayuncle: ext3 [15:41] hey guys.. how do i find out what to set my MTU in the router to? [15:41] I meant, there's no such section [15:41] XPS_M1330: ahh [15:41] XPS_M1330: in that case you'll have to add one [15:42] ext3 for file system [15:42] no device pointing section [15:42] Machtin: Try asking in ##networking [15:42] XPS_M1330: but as I said I think the names of the shared memory parameter has changed recently [15:42] and mountpoint should be root? [15:42] sayuncle: / [15:42] section "pointing" ? [15:42] sayuncle: / is the mount point [15:42] XPS_M1330: yes, pointing maybe it [15:42] maybe man xorg.conf would indicate me?

[15:43] I guess it would be "InputDevice" [15:43] XPS_M1330: bang on ! [15:43] XPS_M1330: that sounds more like it [15:44] HI, i have a laptop with ubuntu running on it, the fans on the laptop runs 100% all the time? is this normal? [15:44] is there a REALLY barebone gnome theme out there? (vnc optimized) [15:45] so I should add: [15:45] frankS2: depends if your hardware supports power managment in linux [15:45] Section "InputDevice" [15:45] SHMConfig "true" [15:45] EndSection [15:45] XPS_M1330: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [15:45] bopr: optimised for VNC ??? [15:45] is 234MB big enough swap space? [15:45] ikonia: i think it does [15:45] bopr: just disable what you don't want [15:45] !synaptic > gartral [15:45] gartral, please see my private message [15:45] sayuncle: sounds very small [15:45] sayuncle: no, unless you have less than 234MB of RAM [15:45] 1gb?

I go through the installer but when it goes to restart after installing it loads BIOS and stops with a J? ne ideas [15:45] XPS_M1330: give it a go - but I'm not sure shmconfig is still valid [15:45] ikonia, what do you mean disable what i don't want? I'd have to make my own black and white theme... [15:45] sayuncle: then make it 2 gigs, unless you're real tight on diskspace [15:45] mspoula: try another OS [15:46] bopr: just put a basic theme on, gnome-look.org [15:46] bopr: remove any applications you don't want on the desktop [15:46] im not [15:46] do you know if there's another way to disable touchpad "taping" ? I don't have an option in the BIOS [15:46] should the swap space go at the start or the end of a partition? [15:46] XPS_M1330: as you are on the same laptop as me, I don't think there is [15:46] sayuncle: swap space usually *is* a partition... [15:46] XPS_M1330: mine is a little over sensative [15:46] i'll rephrase [15:46] guys, how do I check which version of xfce am I running? thanks [15:46] hi [15:46] i was browsing in that site for a few minutes now ikonia === methril|lunch is now known as methril|away [15:47] should my swap partition go at the start or the end of available space?

[15:47] ikonia: which ubuntu version are you running? [15:47] sayuncle: swap space usually *is* a partition... [15:47] ikonia: that isn't a good solution fo us since we have server running on VMWARE already we just want to migrate it so I can use nagios in case vmware goes down. [15:47] XPS_M1330: on the M1330 8.10 [15:47] mspoula: how can you have it running vmware if you can't boot it === kevin_ is now known as uvacav [15:48] XPS_M1330: I guess you haven't tried Jaunty yet? [15:48] ikonia, all the themes on this site are multicoloured, "cool" themes [15:48] XPS_M1330: not on this laptop [15:48] which would use up a lot of b/w [15:48] sweet [15:48] thank you ikonia [15:49] ikonia: i beg to differ on it not mattering, the logical start of a HD is usually noticeably faster than the end [15:49] bopr: just disable wall paper - things like tht [15:49] that [15:49] I have installed zfs-fuse on ubuntu hardy server but unable to export NFS from mounted zfs "/tank does not support NFS export" Is there a solution to this without compiling kernel ? [15:49] LjL: for his purpose I doubt it will matter, I do take your point though [15:50] ikonia: i have my swap partition as the first partition on my HD for that very reason [15:50] ikonia, already in the process of doing that.. anything else you can reccomend? [15:50] bopr: I've just searched gnome-look.org and got many black and white themes [15:50] bopr: I suggest you look again [15:50] what? i wrote black and white in the search [15:51] I need to install realplayer in Intrepid (8.10) for a webinar tomorrow. Synaptic no longer shows realplayer. Where can I get the package? [15:51] and it got a bunch of greyscale with thirty-two bit colour themes [15:51] anoyne with a d945gclf2 here? [15:51] aka atom 330 [15:52] anybody help for me [15:52] xenocit: what was your question (I just joined) [15:52] xenocit: just ask away [15:52] !medibuntu | chuckh1958 [15:52] chuckh1958: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [15:53] ikonia, since you've already looked would you mind giving me the name of a theme that suits my needs? [15:53] how i made speedup my wireless connection [15:53] bopr: I've closed the window, I just search for Black and white and I did a minimal search too [15:53] bopr: few different ones came up, mix of themes, wallpapers, login windows etc [15:54] i did the same, well thanks anyways [15:54] xenocit: what makes you think it's too slow? [15:54] i'll keep looking [15:54] anyone here use linux mint? [15:54] xenocit: sometimes you have to "force" rate speed. « sudo iwconfig wlan0 rate 54M » [15:54] in normally my internet speed in cable connection is a 3000kb/s [15:54] !mint | dragon_ [15:54] dragon_: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce) [15:55] erUSUL, wait.. probing [15:55] my question was if ubuntu and linux mint have a similair install in the terminal [15:56] like w/ a tar.gz [15:56] dragon_: we haven't got a clue, we don't use Mint here [15:56] hello I am trying to put Ubuntu server version on a Power Edge 1650 with a 40G hardware raid on it. I go through the installer but when it goes to restart after installing it loads BIOS and stops with a J? ne ideas [15:56] haha ok thanks [15:56] mspoula: I suggest you try a different OS install first to verify that the server is working fine [15:57] mspoula: I'd also verify support for your raid card - and try installing without raid for a test [15:57] ikonia: yes that does work with windows. It was working fine [15:57] mspoula: ok - so now I'd try it without the raid setup [15:58] ikonia: so go into the raid setup and wipe it and then try? [15:58] mspoula: enable it as a jbod [15:58] mspoula: the dell 1850's (similar raid card) hard famous problems [15:58] had [15:59] erUSUL, its work [15:59] :) [15:59] tnx.. [15:59] ikonia: so delll is not very good linux hardware? [15:59] dell [15:59] mspoula: dell are normally excellent - but occasionally certain hardware components from all vendors have support issues [16:00] ikonia: thanks for the help I will try your suggestion. [16:00] mspoula: worth a go so you know where the problem lies [16:01] mspoula: even if it doesn't fix it you know the raid card is/is not a problem [16:01] I've got a hung program that wont respond to kill, kill -9 or anything, how can I kill it..? === peter_ is now known as Guest1835 [16:02] xenocit: well you will have to do it every time you reboot...

Apache configuration won't work. Here's my config file http://paste.ubuntu.com/136839/ === Tonus_ is now known as Tonus === ScottG_ is now known as ScottG489 [16:11] hello, folks; is there anyone who knows why the MTU on my network card is resetting to 64 every time I restart my computer? Shouldn't ifconfig store any changes I make to the interface? [16:11] and it's totally FRUSTRATING because I'm following the manual [16:11] hendrixski: do an apache2ctl configtest [16:11] and it's supposed to be "just add this text and you can have apache route different website" and it DOESN'T [16:11] hendrixski: calm down [16:11] hendrixski: what turtorial are you following [16:11] :'-( [16:11] pdaoust, make the commands you run , run at boot, add them to /etc/rc.local [16:12] ikonia: running apache2ctl [16:12] apach2ctl configtest [16:12] hendrixski: and what guide are you following === ScottG489 is now known as ScottG [16:13] arvind_khadri: so that's a setting I have to re-do every time I start the computer then? I just assumed it was a setting you set once and then forgot about. [16:13] ok.... how do i remove pulseaudio without removing ubuntu-desktop as well? [16:13] $ apache2ctl configtest --> apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 64.71.161.100 for ServerName --> Syntax OK [16:13] hendrixski: ok - so thats a good thing [16:13] ikonia: and I'm following this guide: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/vhosts/examples.html [16:13] hendrixski: that means that apache will only be listening on 64.71.161.100 [16:14] pdaoust, yes, i guess [16:14] hendrixski ubuntu uses a different config layout [16:14] hendrixski: I would not advise using the apache guide [16:14] arvind_khadri: weird. I also tried deleting 'auto eth0' in NetworkManager and creating a connection with an explicit MTU; hope that works -- because I have a suspicion NetworkManager is screwing around with my eth0. [16:14] arvind_khadri: well, thanks for the help! Bye. [16:14] hendrixski: look at how ubuntu lays it out and you'll see a few differences [16:14] ikonia: I know... I'm editing sites-enabled/000config [16:15] hendrixski: ahhhh so I'm wondering if apache2ctl can check that file [16:15] ikonia, hendrixski: Only the locations where the default files are different. The actualy syntax within the files is the same. [16:15] pdaoust, aah you can directly write into /etc/networking/interfaces [16:15] ikonia: yeah... which is why the Apache people always tell me to ***off when I tell them I use Ubuntu [16:15] grrr [16:15] Pici: yup, just wasn't sure he was editing the right files [16:15] hendrixski: yes, there is a a stigma involved with the ubuntu layout [16:15] ok.... how do i remove pulseaudio without removing ubuntu-desktop as well? [16:16] Pici: but the sites-enabled/whatever file is the right one to edit? right? [16:16] I tried that as well as teh sites-available/default file [16:16] gartral: short answer, you don't [16:16] hendrixski: it should be the virtual site you want to host [16:16] gartral, just a sec [16:16] and in both cases, whichever one is first just overrides EVERYTHING [16:16] hi all. please, is it recommended to upgrade intrepid to jaunty for a preintermediate mortal? [16:16] Picassotamus: ok, so how do i strangle it too a point that it will never, ever think about loading, ever again? [16:16] hendrixski: look in that file though - you have multiple defined for 1 site [16:16] gartral: long answer is that ubuntu-desktop is a meta package and won't be a big deal if it removed [16:17] gardar, http://techietipsandtricks.blogspot.com/2009/02/reverting-to-alsa-in-ubuntu-810.html [16:17] gardar, sorry [16:17] gartral, , http://techietipsandtricks.blogspot.com/2009/02/reverting-to-alsa-in-ubuntu-810.html [16:17] ikonia: one virtualhost for www.politagora.com and one virtualhost for openroc.com [16:18] !ubiquity [16:18] Sorry, I don't know anything about ubiquity [16:18] hendrixski: yes but your editing 1 "site" [16:18] hendrixski: I'm not sure if you can do that with the ubuntu layout [16:18] hendrixski: I thought each site was a virtual host [16:18] oh [16:18] gartral: Also in your sound preferences you could change everything to use alsa and esd, and set pulseaudio to not daemonize on startup [16:18] hendrixski: I'm not %100 certain to be honest if you can do that [16:18] * hendrixski is confused as to the difference [16:18] Pici: ? [16:18] hendrixski: What is it that you want to do? [16:19] oCean_: I have one server, that I want to have hosting several websites [16:19] hendrixski: configure two site like one.mydom.com and two.mydom.com ? [16:19] hendrixski: I was under the impression you made a "site" for each website, and defined one virtual host per site file [16:20] oCean_: so for the moment I want openRoc to use wordpress, and then politagora for Sugar,,, and eventually I'll have a Joomla thing up there for a customer [16:20] gartral, got the blog? [16:20] anoyne with a d945gclf2 here? [16:20] ikonia: ah, you mean that I just add a new file instead of a new virtual host into the existing file?

[16:20] hendrixski: ok, then it might be easier to use different files [16:20] hendrixski, ikonia: You don't *need* a separate file for each site, but it can be useful. [16:20] hendrixski: that was my understanding [16:21] Pici: ahh so it doesn't cut off after the first tag per file [16:21] hendrixski: in /etc/apache2/ there is a sites-available directory. That is the directory were to create files. Link the files, for the sites that you want to enable to /etc/apache2/sites-enabled.

Just create another file, using it's own DocumentRoot and/or ServerName etc [16:22] ikonia: No, it doest. eg: my django sites live in my .../sites-enabled/django file and wordpress in .../sites-enabled/000-default [16:22] Pici: ok, I thought after the it stopped the parse, I assume it just does an include [16:23] !jaunty [16:23] !jaunty [16:23] !bot [16:23] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [16:23] StR|Sangreal: #ubuntu+1 please, you just requested that factoid a moment ago, it won't repeat it. [16:24] !botabuse [16:24] Please investigate with me only with "/msg ubottu Bot" or in #ubuntu-bots. Search for factoids with "/msg ubottu !search factoid". [16:24] Pici: thanks, i had the window closed and didnt manage to recover that piece of nfo [16:25] oCean_: so I'm actually confused... I create the file in sites-available/ and then... copy it into sites enabled? [16:25] hendrixski: pretty much yea [16:25] k [16:25] hendrixski: or symlink, whichever you feel more comfortable doing. [16:25] hendrixski: but not entirely no, it's a link [16:25] that or link it. I know there is a command that ubuntu uses to enable a site. I dont recall it off the top of my head right now [16:26] hello [16:26] !list [16:26] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [16:26] hendrixski, squidly: a2ensite seems to be an available command. [16:26] hendrixski: that way you can easily disable any site by removing the link. To link the file: "cd" to /etc/apache2/sites-enabled then "ln -s /etc/apache2/sites-available/mysitename" [16:26] Pici: cool. I usualy just link them manually my self [16:26] squidly: me too [16:26] wow, that's pretty invovled. Should I have used something "easier" like nginx or something? [16:26] hi folks, I know that xorg.conf has changed of late... I want to enable SHMConfig, normally I would do that in xorg.conf but there is no InputDevice Synaptics Touchpad in there.... where is it now? [16:26] hendrixski: Yes indeed, what Pici said .. [16:26] hendrixski: it's mostly ubuntu/debain standards [16:27] <_VIM_> why do people do the !list command all the time? I thought that was a command for the warez channels? [16:27] _VIM_: yes, that's why they do it. [16:27] my gentoo boxes have the vhosts in one file (which has caused me no end of grief!) [16:27] _VIM_: pretty much yea [16:27] LjL: ok.. so i found a new use for my lone ubuntu server :) [16:27] <_VIM_> yeah but don't they realize this isn't a fileserving chan? [16:28] _VIM_: s/fileserving/piracy ;) [16:28] anyone ever converted/save them self from gentoo inplace? [16:28] _VIM_: it's their way of discovering whether it is. [16:28] squidly: you mean, switch distros? [16:28] <_VIM_> heh [16:28] Gnea: yea. [16:28] squidly: yes. [16:29] Gnea: any docs on it, or just the basic format/reintsall? [16:29] squidly: it depends on your situation [16:29] gentoo server, running mysql, ldap, postfix, dns, dhcp, cups, samba, mythbackend :D [16:29] anyone? where can I enable SHMConfig in intrepid? [16:30] squidly: i recommend backing up important things and keeping a /home partition separate [16:30] I have not updated the blasted box in over 6 months thanks go gentoo's noexistant qa [16:30] /home on that box is going to be gone. My desktop holds my /home (for now) [16:30] squidly: use my backup software to image your machine to a DVD. [16:31] Torikun: backup software? [16:31] ping [16:31] pong [16:31] pong [16:31] squidly: do you need to back anything up, such as sql, dns and dhcp data? [16:31] hehe [16:31] i once heard about dd [16:31] genii: yea, sql, dns and dhcp [16:31] but did you use it? [16:32] to creat an image of ur hard drive [16:32] nabs: dd is great for making an image [16:32] a binary copy pretty much [16:33] yeah [16:33] it's good for when you want to wipe a disk [16:33] dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/$wipe_me bs=512 :D [16:33] HOORAY!!!! [16:33] squidly: 512k [16:33] that did it [16:33] squidly: you need to set k or m [16:33] thanks oCean_ ikonia and Pici [16:33] and squidly [16:33] squidly: too bad it's not a secure wipe, but yeah [16:34] how do you dd the hdd to a image file to an external hdd lets say? Doesn't the hdd have to be unmounted? If that's the case what do you have to do then use a live CD or something? [16:34] ikonia: I ment to have it be 512 bit on purpose! [16:34] Gnea: yea I konw [16:34] if I need a secure wipe I use boot-n-nuke [16:34] I can see why Ubuntu did that, even though it raises the learning curve a bit [16:34] exactly [16:34] squidly: oh [16:34] Hello. [16:35] Hi [16:35] hendrixski: yea, it's what I do now for my websites [16:35] One of the libraries i've downloaded (boost) is messed up, is there a way to fix that ? [16:35] Maybe someone can help me here [16:35] maybe Tr4sK [16:37] When I unmute my system, there a sound playing. It's from FlightGear, flightgear is not running anymore but the sound stays playing, sudo alsa force-reload does nothing. What else can I do aside from reboot? [16:37] ikonia: genrally I find that a OS's use 512 for a disk sector [16:37] I have a ubuntu Server 8.04.2 [16:37] Tr4sK: ask away d00d :D [16:37] Tr4sK: If you state your problem/issue, someone just might have the answer :) [16:37] I have install MySecureShell [16:37] hi all. if i've got a few domains, dns hosted by godaddy, and they're pointing to my server (i'm going to attempt to setup a mail server), is there anything i should do to let my server know they're pointing to it? [16:37] hi dose anyone else here has problem updating ubuntu right now (servers are down?) [16:37] i keep reading, and hearing about hosts, and stuff. [16:37] http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/learn-the-dd-command-362506/ [16:37] all user log in /home/$USER [16:37] i accidentally my /home partition [16:37] ^req verb [16:37] chyea: well you have to confugre your mailserver [16:37] what one are you using? [16:37] I want share un common folder /var/sftp/ [16:37] When I unmute my system, there a sound playing. It's from FlightGear, flightgear is not running anymore but the sound stays playing, sudo alsa force-reload does nothing. What else can I do aside from reboot? [16:38] Tr4sK: try to keep the description on one line.. that'll make it easier to follow [16:38] ok [16:38] michael_: sudo /etc/init.d/alsa stop [16:39] try that [16:39] is your flightgear running on alsa, or oss [16:39] squidly: I will try that [16:39] Hello. I installed a libboost library but it is not compiling code that it should compile (eg. it gives error when compiling code from the website of the library), how do i fix that ? [16:39] do you have build-essential installed? [16:39] lol you gotta display the error [16:39] sudo: /etc/init.d/alsa: command not found [16:39] squidly: can you send me the link for download of that boot-n-nuke program? [16:39] Hi ive reinstalled ubuntu last night and it cant find any updates even though i know there should be [16:39] hhhmmm.... bugger... but now it only seems to do handle the www.example.com ... and not http://example.com .... [16:39] michael_: sorry alsasound [16:39] de-mentor: choose a different mirror and update your sources [16:40] So I do that for my testing user : cd /home/test/ && ln -s /var/sftp/ Share But nothing append when I login Filezilla ( I can't see the folder) [16:40] squidly: same thing [16:40] HammerHead66: www.google.com and http://www.dban.org/ [16:40] squidly: i was messing with postfix, but i think it's a little too advanced for me. i'm currently setting up qmail. [16:40] gartral, got it?? [16:40] squidly: ty [16:40] vick: Without looking at an error, I'm guessing that you need libboost-dev [16:40] chyea: I use postfix, IMHO it's easier to setup and there are lots of docs about it [16:40] Torikun: let me try that [16:40] HammerHead66: np :D [16:40] Pici, heh, i have that already :) [16:41] michael_: that is odd. as nubcake_ are you running alsa or oss? [16:41] I am using alsa as far as I know [16:41] what is a good site to read about squirell mail configuration any one [16:41] usually when I have sound problems sudo alsa force-reload does the trick [16:41] Pici, Wanna look at the error now ? :P [16:41] ubuntu intrepid 32 bits is ready to run CPU intel core2quad? [16:41] squidly: yea, ubuntu has the package for it, too. i don't know. i had it running, i guess. my problems came from dovecot, i think. i wasn't able to receive mail from other MTAs. [16:41] michael_: but what happens when you do that [16:41] vick: Sure, pastebin it [16:42] oCean_, So I do that for my testing user : cd /home/test/ && ln -s /var/sftp/ Share But nothing append when I login Filezilla ( I can't see the folder) [16:42] i've got an MX record setup pointing to my host. [16:42] chyea: what is your domain name? [16:42] IT WORKED THAT TIME! Usually it freezes up at :lsof: WARNING: can't stat() fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon file system /home/michael/.gvfs [16:42] b3t4.org [16:43] Pici, http://rafb.net/p/a8v9D396.html error with the code [16:43] Wolf? [16:43] thanks squidly [16:43] chyea: its down now [16:43] michael_: np :D [16:43] i recently changed up the MX and A records. it may not have propogated. [16:43] Tr4sK: sorry I don't know about MySecureShell. I would think a howto is on their website? [16:43] chuckh1958: 72.14.177.106 [16:43] squidly: who long does it take for it to nuke the drive for like a 160Gb hd? [16:43] HammerHead66: depends on how secure you want it nukes [16:44] oCean_, yes :) [16:44] vick: Hrm.. doesn't look like a package issue. Have you tried asking in ##c++ ? [16:44] I used to use DOD 10 pass on a 80gb ide-100, old cpu. and I just let it run over night [16:44] squidly: it has all that info in the manual right? [16:44] HammerHead66: yea [16:44] oCean_, Ohhh shit 17:30 it's time to get out of here. [16:44] squidly: ok thanks [16:44] Pici, i tried in #boost , one of the people there compiled it on his/her own box and said it was fine [16:44] Torikun: I tried to use select best server and it still dosent find updates [16:45] oCean_, I will see that later bye [16:45] squidly: should my MX record point to an A record... or just the actual mail server IP? [16:45] squidly: 72.14.177.106 ? [16:45] de-mentor: under software sources, is updates enabled? [16:45] chyea: the mx should point to your mail servers name [16:45] chuckh1958: sorry that was a mistake [16:45] yes [16:46] say I have codestorm.org, my mx points to mail.codestorm.org [16:46] squidly: dang I thought I was being invited to someone's webcam. :) [16:46] squidly: godaddy is doing my dns for me, so it's going to have to either be my server's IP, or an A record which points to that IP. [16:46] chuckh1958: HAHAH [16:46] Torikun: and i also tried running it from the terminal [16:46] lol [16:46] chyea: I hate godaddy's dns system.

[16:48] Hello all [16:48] I need help with multipath/udev [16:48] squidly: it's not down. i'm able to nslookup on it and it works.

[16:49] I had no end of issues with qmail when I tried it [16:49] :-D man, more people need to learn Polish [16:49] Ok... guys, can I just bug you with one more thing about Apache? [16:49] not to mention here at work (we are an ISP) we also had no end to the issues with qmail. [16:49] twitzel, ask away [16:49] We use postfix for all mail [16:50] thanks [16:50] hrm. maybe i'll move back to postfix. i did get it setup pretty easily. [16:50] hendrixski: echo /dev/question ;) [16:50] I have it catching www.politagora.com just fine... but when I go to just politagora.com then it doesn't work [16:50] chyea: yea, I have to do about 10 different relays though 5 different servers [16:50] I have configured a Dell MD3000 with multipath [16:50] do I have to create a new site file? [16:50] or is there some hack for catching both with and without the www. ??? [16:50] multipath -ll looks good and the /dev/mapper/ entries are generated [16:50] hendrixski: name based virtual hosts? [16:51] However, no /dev/dm-* devices are created nor is kpartx called to show partitions [16:51] Hi guys I have update problems i just reinstalled ubuntu 8.10 but it cant find any updates [16:51] twitzel, dont use enter as a punctuation, make your query in a single line [16:51] squidly: i don't really know a whole lot about this whole process - i'm doing this mainly for learning purposes. i don't think i'll be needing to relay to a different MTA - i'd like to just send straight to the internet if that's how it works. [16:52] de-mentor, did you enable the repo's [16:52] chyea: yea pretty much [16:52] squidly: oh yeah,,, server alias :-) [16:52] thanks [16:52] hendrixski: :D np [16:52] chyea: is this off your home connection? can you get a proper rdns setup? [16:52] I now temporarly removed the dmsetup and dmadm rules from udev and now I can see /dev/dm-* devices apparently generated by the default rule. But I still have to manually invoke kpartx before I can mount the partitions because the kpartx rule is never called [16:52] ya [16:52] Hi - Synaptics will not start - Not sure what I did, but could use some help on how fix it so it will load ? ?

[17:49] yes its an experiment [17:49] Petein: cat /proc/cpuinfo [17:49] xfce uses gnome libraries & apps just for everything [17:50] XFCE is lighter. I like it, works fine on a 600mhz P3 with 256MB of RAM. [17:50] xfce is lighter [17:50] NativeAngels: well, it is possible to redirect from one to another site. But that way, the client (browser) will actually go to the other box [17:50] indeed [17:50] define 'lighter' [17:50] NativeAngels: but that is not what you're after, I think [17:50] Uses less ram and CPU cycles? [17:51] consumes less memory and CPU. [17:51] hi guys, i use WICD to connect to my wi-fi router, i tried to set a WEP key to my connection in my router settings webpage (192.168.1.1) and then i set up the same WEP key on my WICD settings, but it wont work... fortunately from another pc i could re-enter the router settings webpage and delete that key. is there any known issue with WICD and WEP keys? shall i try a WAP? am I doin anything wrong? thanks [17:51] NativeAngels: I don't think it is possible to have (part of) a DocumentRoot on another server..

Not in #ubuntu [17:54] dreamy: that was a known issue of Network Manager, just uninstall it completely and install WICD instead, the wifi connection is perfect with it, fast and never falls, as it used to happen with NM. the only thing is, it seems having issues with WEP keys, but u do get connected!

[18:35] For some reason, when I double click on an excel file from within the firefox downloads list, it tries to open it using wine, which, for whatever reason, shows a windows dlg box that just says "success" with an ok button. How do I get firefox to use openoffice to open the document? [18:35] Orange_v_Blue: ok, got you [18:35] Meh, that's probably too late [18:35] blup: test your sound on System/prefs'/sound [18:35] who knows how to open the java console in ubntu [18:35] But that's not bad, just an extra update I have to do [18:35] ubuntu [18:35] user____: it worked before [18:36] user____: it just stopped working for myself, as well as everyone else with the same problem, 2 weeks ago wednesday [18:36] who knows how to open the java console in ubuntu?

This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience [18:39] Sound capture is basically recording music [18:39] HammerHead66: i have 2 audio cards, one is the mobo integrated and the other one is in the videocard...perhaps there is some problem there...i mean could be possible that i can heard no system sounds cause they are played there on the hdmi audio card on mi ati hd 2600 ? [18:39] HammerHead66: soundcapure on ALSA [18:39] exit [18:39] blup: make sure Sound capture is set to ALSA [18:39] Yeah you just have to change the default audio device [18:40] user____: it's really long, is there something specific to look for? [18:40] is there a hack or any sort of way to make Nautilus alphabetize directories with special characters (like " ~ ") separately the same way Windows does, instead of ignoring those characters and mixing them alphabetically with everything else? [18:40] HammerHead66: already alsa [18:40] ubotto: can you help? do yu know how to open the java console, becuase i want to begin with java [18:40] Orange_v_Blue: you can use the tail command: tail -n100 /var/log/dpkg.log f.e. [18:40] you sure you checked all speaker icons on all windows make sure it's up [18:41] blup: you sure you checked all speaker icons on all windows make sure it's up [18:41] Orange_v_Blue: the file also has timestamps.. [18:41] user____: i just opened it in gedit [18:41] HammerHead66: yep everything is on and to max volume possible [18:41] user____: apparently there's an easier way :) [18:42] blup: in every single window? because the sound on the system tray does not control all sound on all other programs [18:43] HammerHead66: hmmmm everything ok === Andre_Gondim is now known as Andre_Gondim-afk [18:43] Anyone here using LXDE? [18:44] what's the best firewall for linux doesn't have to be easy to use? [18:44] blup: just some people don't know that [18:44] user____: it's got some packages in there, but nothing that seems related (that i would know of). I think it's the default settings on unix systems of some sort, and when the servers themselves upgraded, it stopped working here. I'm trying to tell them what on their servers isn't cool with what on my computer. I know realize this may be an in surmountable task. [18:44] *now [18:44] So I have a server holding 4TBs, but that's not enough... does anyone know what I should go for to expand? new mobo/etc. if so, what? - I currently hold 6 HDs, 4 SATA and 2 IDE, and I have no place for anything else anymore - I don't have a CD drive. So what should I do to increase storage without changing my HDs?

(my box can't hold any additional devices :P [18:46] HammerHead66: so once i used esound but not remember how...and everything worked. It's just that i fresh renistalled lately and now i have no sistem sounds... [18:46] blup: see me in pm [18:47] Daremonai: probably...i never used them :P [18:47] atrocity, hehe :) [18:47] most "consumer" hardware handles like 4 sata drives and 2 pata drives, and that's it [18:47] igi: if it does cache dns, then there's some bug because it doesn't work [18:47] maybe look at "server" grade motherboard? [18:47] I just read a HOWTO that suggested getting a package from debian sid. Is there a similar ubuntu repository? Or should I just use sid? [18:47] what is the package?

[19:31] ok [19:32] sammy, how about using a website that hosts files? [19:32] HBX ?

I think since she can install firefox plugins, I'll suggest fireftp, which does sftp in firefox. [19:35] Whois Sancho [19:35] oops [19:35] Does anyone know what does the package Gfxboot??? [19:35] that seems like the easiest way [19:35] and why there are many files.jpg [19:35] ??? === AJC_Z0- is now known as AJC_Z0 [19:36] sammy, yup either one, thats cool didnt know fireftp would do sftp, that is easiest & most secure method for direct file transfer [19:36] moose86: I would guess that you have the wrong partition in neogrub with error 17 [19:36] soussou_: http://en.opensuse.org/Gfxboot [19:36] anyone know why someone would insert a kubuntu live cd onto a vista machine, not attempt to install it, and yet vista would not boot again.

[19:36] ay^ i did exactly as this guide stated step by step http://apcmag.com/how_to_dualboot_vista_with_linux_vista_installed_first.htm?page=4 [19:36] soussou_: Are you using SuSE? [19:37] i copied the boot file from ubu over to vista [19:37] and used the same one [19:37] aydin * ^ [19:37] JanPeter, maybe bios boot device order was changed? check to make sure all disks appear [19:37] So I just accidentally broke sudo by chmodding /etc/sudoers writable so I could edit it. Is there any way to fix /etc/sudoers short of booting into single-user mode? [19:37] can i have evolution get the settings from thunderbird? [19:38] if so, how? [19:38] Pici: what is SuSE?? i guess no [19:38] soussou_: Are you running Ubuntu? [19:38] thank you user___ [19:38] yes [19:38] Pici: yes i am running ubuntu [19:39] moose86: Does vista boot? [19:39] soussou_: the webpage explains what gfxboot is, the examples are for opensuse, which is a different distro than ubuntu [19:39] aydin yes vista boots fine [19:39] So, no suggetions about /etc/sudoers? [19:39] when i choose ubuntu from dualboot menu i get error 17 does nto exist [19:39] that is OK thank you for help [19:39] Anyone knows how to configure a headphone hs-04? The sound still playing in normal mode. [19:39] soussou_: We do not use gfxboot by default currently, and you may break things by trying to confgiure it. [19:40] Can anybody hear me? [19:40] puff: Nothing other than booting to single user or from a live-cd. [19:40] moose86: can you send me your C:\NST\menu.lst privately [19:40] ok sure oen sec [19:41] hey anyone knows where is the config file of ncmpc++? [19:41] publicly [19:41] publicly or privately?

However, trying to google "network slow ubuntu 8.10" doesn't bring up a lot of relevant material. Suggestions? smb is what I'm noticing the largest drag in, however i'm not sure how much the places>network window is dependent on that.

[22:32] Droopsta915: Skype and/or other sip phones can make calls to regular phones if you're using them to connect to a service that can connect to the regular phone system. [22:32] I can make regular calls on Skype? or just to other Skype users? === Guest85054 is now known as Alien [22:32] Droopsta915: I use it to make regular calls [22:32] Droopsta915: if you dkpg it will work on 8.10- you have to pay to call landlines but yes... low rates for international to [22:32] Droopsta915: I know it's possible to make regular calls on skype, because my friend does all the time. I don't know if oyu have to pay extra, etc. [22:32] B419kid: ok which package, and that won't have anything to do with your Mac [22:33] welcome to #skype-sales [22:33] hi all [22:33] i have a question [22:33] sebsebseb: it does have to do with mac so....

[22:35] It would be fine for my diagram [22:35] sebsebseb: that's probably a scam [22:35] agrume: What's "digit"? [22:35] i started getting terrible flickering when watching fullscreen video in firefox 3.0.7 using ubuntu 8.10. i think it may have something to do with some winetricks apps i installed earlier today. is there a way to go back and uninstall [22:35] !vnc | dns [22:35] dns: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely.

[22:40] agrume: You can simply create a text object by using the "T" tool, position that wherever you want. Then group it with the line or box you want to associate it with and when you move the line or box, the text will moe with it. [22:40] agrume: Yes. [22:40] ortsvorsteher: so you have it running?

[22:58] it is a direct connection via crossover-ethernet [22:58] B419kid: you can get 7 button laser mice for decent prices, haven't actually used any because I use notebook touchpad [22:58] salah: smp = symmetric multiprocessing [22:58] I try to remove nfs [22:58] JoTrocken: appears to be a bug with some workarounds [22:58] JoTrocken: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/213444/ [22:59] iceroot, so for a x64 system I should have the SMP processor? [22:59] did't find anything helpful at google [22:59] arkady: well know any good places... best buy is expensive and i want to look at in-store, cause i need a small mouse for small hands [22:59] salah: you mean x86_64? [22:59] JoTrocken: did you look at this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/213444/ [22:59] knoxville:I have looked at the etc/apt/sources.list. I cann't see any problems with it. [22:59] iceroot, yes [22:59] can gnome-settings-daemon be removed? [23:00] salah: normaly x86_64 has multi-cores so smp is a good choice [23:00] or at least replaced with something that doesn't flicker my theme off and on off and on [23:00] trokep: maybe "dpkg-reconfigure synaptic" [23:00] salah: normaly ubuntu will give you the smp kernel by default [23:01] so removing wine and winetricks didnt fix the flickering... i searched the forums but havent found anythign relevent [23:01] wrektjet: flickering with what? [23:01] it seems to flash between the full screen vid and the reg browser [23:01] wrektjet: flickering with what? lol i just wondering at the same time [23:01] knoxville: No, that's made no difference [23:02] like on nytimes watching news clips there is white flicker [23:02] how do i disable sshd to auto start on boot? [23:02] and on websites with blue backbraounds i see blue and soemtimes logos [23:02] trokep: sudo apt-get update gives you any erros? [23:02] trokep: what happens when you do "sudo apt-get update" does it update or error? [23:02] iceroot: lol [23:02] knoxville: faster :) [23:02] iceroot: great minds thinking alike...lol [23:03] arkady: so, know any sources? [23:03] Hi everybody! I am using a wireless router, d-link di524, but out of the 3 laptops, one cannot connect to it. It is running ubuntu 8.10. Can anybody please suggest what the problem may be and how to check it?? Please [23:03] how do i disable sshd to auto start on boot? [23:04] <_VIM_> remove it? [23:04] progre55: wifi? [23:04] preogre55: It's hard to say. could be a number of things... [23:04] progre55: dhcp? [23:04] lulika: chmod -x the permissions from /etc/init.d/sshd [23:04] _VIM_ i still want to have it, i just don't want it to auto start [23:04] iceroot, yes [23:04] knoxville that sounds too hacky [23:04] I ssh to a server, then try to execute command xclock and got Error: Can't open display: [23:04] iceroot: I get GPG errors to do with public keys not being available [23:04] iceroot, should I disable it? [23:05] lulika: what about looking in the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file for optios [23:05] options [23:05] i have an nvidia card.. all the forum posts seem to be about ati cards and compiz-fusion [23:05] knoxville there's a command to remove init scripts from boot i just can't remember it [23:05] lulika: update-rc.d [23:05] update-rc.d remove? [23:05] I am trying to look for a file using ls recursively with this syntax: "ls -R tools.jar" [23:05] <_VIM_> !startup | lulika [23:05] lulika: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot [23:05] redbullie: won't work, use "find" [23:05] progre55: laptop can see the access-point/router? [23:05] I am trying to look for a file using ls recursively with this syntax: "ls -R tools.jar" But it doesn't seem to do it recursively... why? [23:05] <_VIM_> that was useless sorry [23:05] iceroot: ok will try that [23:06] <_VIM_> i though ubottu had a better factoid [23:06] iceroot, it can, but cannot connect [23:06] _VIM_ i don't use GNOME [23:06] progre55: type "b419kid:" to send a message back to me highlighted [23:06] _VIM_ i don't use X in fact. [23:06] progre55: error-message? [23:06] <_VIM_> yah, sorry bout that bad factoid [23:06] _VIM_: that is !boot [23:06] <_VIM_> doh [23:06] lulika: update-rc.d [23:06] ah thanks [23:06] so update-rc.d remove ssh?

[23:07] hi [23:07] erm, no [23:07] it says i can use -f to force, but i wonder if that'll do [23:07] i don't know [23:07] do you know how to activate touchscreen for a tablet pc? [23:08] lulika: did you sudo? [23:08] ubuntu 8.10 [23:08] knoxville yes i'm a SU [23:08] how can i make nautilus recognize my newly created filesystem in a luks volume? [23:08] i thought it might be aflash player issue but i just updated to v10 [23:08] iceroot: how can I see the connection logs? [23:08] no help [23:08] well, -f worked so i guess that's it === desti_T2 is now known as desti [23:08] hi plp [23:08] iceroot: it's just, I'm trying to connect just by a click, and it doesnt even show any logs.. [23:08] some way to cause nautilus to rescan all devices? [23:09] lulika: good good! [23:09] any way to make a window xp flash disk from ubuntu 7.10 [23:09] lulika: ls /etc/rc*.d | grep ssh to find out [23:09] b419kid: where can I see the logs so that I could say where the problem might be? [23:09] macho_: define 'flash disk' [23:09] i'm looking for a way to autologout idle user's from a gnome session. not TMOUT, that only works if a terminal is open. [23:09] my bad kriel [23:10] progre55: you are using wep or wpa? [23:10] iceroot: WPA [23:10] so uhh, heres kind of an open question, if there any way to get flash working WELL (as in close to windows performance) in ubuntu64? ive tried the adobe flash 10, operas implimentation, gnash, just about everything, and its still flakey at best, [23:11] progre55: i have found some logs in /var/log/syslog [23:11] progre55: maybe there you will see the errors [23:11] iceroot: sec, let me see if there is anything.. [23:12] err...8.10 64 bit if it helps [23:12] hello how can i make my lcd screen showing my laptop ? i connected my screen and can see the start up but while it starts kde my screen turns blank [23:12] iceroot: I have tried unchecking the sources with no public key - no change, the GUI still does not work [23:12] que onda [23:12] trokep: hm i dont know if there is an option in the gui to import keys [23:12] NO SE NI QUE PEDO CON ESTA MADRE [23:13] !es | NInojor [23:13] NInojor: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [23:13] iceroot: it says, wlan0: link timed out [23:13] is there any progress on ubuntu's scrolling CPU hogging issues? [23:13] How can I kill the graphical side of ubuntu and drop down to just the commandline? [23:13] progre55: hm [23:13] will the ubuntu homepage have a countdown ticker to 9.04?

[23:15] NO PUEDO [23:15] JAJAJAJA [23:15] NInojor: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:15] LjL, thanks [23:15] NInojor: quita de gritar [23:15] is there a possibility to mark text in pdfs with evince? [23:15] iceroot: hmm... it also says "AP denied association (code 17) [23:16] un|matr|x, are you running compiz? [23:16] flatkay, dunno, i just been useing okular...its quite nice [23:16] Titan8990: it's irrelevant, happens w/ and w/o [23:16] hmm, the volume also doesn't appear under /dev/disk/by-uuid [23:16] does okular have such an option? [23:16] i guess that's a bug? [23:16] lots of commenting, drawing on the document, saveing notes etc [23:16] un|matr|x, it can be relevant because compiz + ATI = very CPU intensive [23:16] or is there a way to make udev rescan all the disks? [23:17] Titan8990: I have a nvidia [23:17] ok, i'll try. thx! [23:17] tapas: sudo fdisk -l ? [23:17] un|matr|x, use top to find out what is actually taking up this CPU usage [23:17] flatkay, might need your kde libs to run it in gnome though [23:17] NInojor: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:17] Titan8990: good idea, on it [23:17] can anyone recommend a good link with instr for settingup webcam in Ubuntu Intrepid? [23:18] knoxville: why should that trigger anything in udev? [23:18] !webcam | judget_ [23:18] judget_: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [23:18] anyone know why vim would not auto detect formatting? (for instance a .c file) [23:18] knoxville: i see the device [/dev/sdb1] just fine.. [23:18] tapas: sorry misunderstood question [23:18] verk: add "syn on" to your .vimrc [23:18] verk, you have to set it in your .vimrc in your homedir [23:18] @docidu: it's ok, amarok is running anyway [23:18] Titan8990: i tried it in xchat-gnome and got 30% cpu on it and another 30% on Xorg [23:18] i created a luksVolume on it and the volume is fine.. created an fs on it.. can mount it manually fine [23:18] but it won't show in /dev/disk/by-uuid/ nor in nautilus [23:19] un|matr|x, what drivers are you using? [23:19] Titan8990: nvidia binary 177.82 [23:19] I forget how to do this from the command line and man apt-get isn't telling me what I want, I simply want to update the computer as if I was sitting in front of it and got that downward red arrow in the upper right corner... so I went to /etc/apt/sources.list and uncomment the necessary package index files, then I ran sudo apt-get update to synch it... how can I update from here? [23:19] don't want to reboot just to have my system see the volumes.. i guess there might be some hooks missing in some udev scripts [23:19] so, ok, running intrepid 64 bit, trying to get flash working across the board, right now i have to use operas implimentation of it in some instances, have the flash 10 from adobes site in firefox for other sites, and workingarounds for others...is this the accepted method? or does flash actually work right useing some method? [23:19] un|matr|x, can you verify that by doing: lspci -k ? [23:19] CaptainMorgan: sudo apt-get upgrade [23:20] flatkay, i used amarok till i got annoyed with the instability, now i tend to use banshee [23:20] lstarnes, that won't upgrade to me the new distro, right? [23:20] was confused abou that.. [23:20] CaptainMorgan: it won't [23:20] k [23:20] CaptainMorgan: correct. dist-upgrade is the command to do so, if you so wish. [23:20] CaptainMorgan, version upgrade is done via: sudo aptitude full-upgrade [23:20] im having trouble. on regular ubuntu my sound works just fine. i format and install xubuntu. no sound. [23:21] un|matr|x, yes, that is the correct driver... I am out of ideas honestly [23:21] anarki: "working" means? [23:21] !upgrade | CaptainMorgan: this is how you should upgrade to a new Ubuntu version. Using apt-get is doing it wrong. [23:21] CaptainMorgan: this is how you should upgrade to a new Ubuntu version. Using apt-get is doing it wrong.: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [23:21] anarki: and "non working" means? [23:21] anarki: do you get errors? [23:21] or is it just silent? [23:21] working meaning fully functional. plays sound. non working meaning not functional. no sound played [23:21] no errors [23:21] Thanks ubottu [23:22] anarki: try opening alsamixer -c 0 [23:22] What do u mean !webcam | judget_ Titan8990? [23:22] rww, what makes it "wrong" ? [23:22] anarki: do you see any controls? [23:22] judget_: that made ubottu talk to you. ubottu is a bot. [23:22] judget_, that gets the bot to tell you about webcams [23:22] anarki: or better: inspect the output of cat /proc/asound/cards [23:22] !webcam | judget_ [23:22] judget_: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [23:22] anarki: does it show your soundcard on xubuntu? [23:22] Titan8990: are you sure that when you scroll up and down really fast your CPU won't go up very high too? [23:22] yea. master was at 0 [23:22] ah thanks thats really cool [23:22] !bot | judget_ [23:22] judget_: Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [23:23] ah very cool [23:23] docidu: never tried banshee, i'm quite happy with amarok. runs well on my mashine. [23:23] un|matr|x, yes, I am sure, it is not normal behavior [23:23] love Amarok personally [23:23] anarki: so did putting it higher fix the problem? [23:23] nope [23:23] still no sound [23:23] un|matr|x, you could try using the open source nvidia drivers, but you will lose opengl support [23:23] anarki: also raise the "PCM" level [23:23] iceroot: I can import keys to the synaptic GUI, but where do I get them from [23:23] anarki: or best: [23:23] rww ? [23:23] pcm at full [23:24] lucky you, its a nice interface, it started getting flakey on me when i imported my tera mp3 drive...meh [23:24] put the output of running the command "amixer" onto a pastesite and show me a link to it so i can inspect it [23:24] trokep, you have to generate them on the host machine [23:24] Titan8990: are there any quick try-and-remove PPAs for it or anything? (don't wanna mess up the system) [23:24] CaptainMorgan: From what I hear, normal updates within versions of Ubuntu are fine with apt-get or aptitude or whatever. Upgrades to newer Ubuntu versions should use update-manager or do-release-update because those programs are set up to deal with specific changes that need to be made during upgrade. [23:24] rww... those links don't answer my question... I see one area in the second link that comes close [23:24] un|matr|x, not really, need to edit xorg.conf, you can make a backup so if something is wrong, you just restore the backup [23:24] taka, how. [23:25] un|matr|x, I personally have 4 different xorg configs backed up on this machine [23:25] anarki: install the program "xclip" and run "amixer | xclip" [23:25] this puts the output of the amixer command into your clipboard [23:25] [one of them] [23:25] un|matr|x, sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak [23:25] rww, I'm not looking to do an upgrade to a new distro... my lstarnes implies I wanted to avoid that at all costs- I'm very happy with 8.04 LTS [23:25] iceroot: I have searched the net, and I assume it is a bug in the wireless driver.. [23:25] my *question to lstarnes ... [23:25] anarki: then open a pastesite in your browser, put the mouse over the field where the text goes and press the middle mouse button [23:25] Titan8990: xorg isn't the problem, it's the drivers and its modules, i always end up reinstalling because of conflicts :b [23:26] !paste [23:26] 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) [23:26] CaptainMorgan: Alright then. People were throwing disto upgrade commands at you so I got confused. [23:26] I installed Vista SP1 on a dual-boot Linux & Vista system and now neither will boot (Error 17 on Linux and Error 13 on Vista). I was here a few weeks ago and told to backup and then come back, which I've done now. [23:26] hi [23:26] <`brandon`> i type unrar e file.rar but i keep getting this error, set-021.rar is not RAR archive [23:26] <`brandon`> No files to extract [23:26] un|matr|x, xorg.conf defines what drivers and modules get loaded [23:26] hmm theres something else that not working. hotlinks :S [23:26] oh my word [23:26] rww, thank you for the clarification of the distro upgrade though... I tend to avoid such tasks through network terminal... your statement confirms my viewpoint [23:26] how do i specify an X screen to use when in SSH? [23:26] docidu: i also like the interface and i'm always bothered when i have to use itunes. got to get back to work now. thx again, bye [23:26] `brandon`: it might be a piece of a multi-part archive...? also, are you using unrar-nonfree? [23:27] anarki: i guess you mean hyperlinks are not directly supported by your irc client? [23:27] possible :) [23:27] http://paste.ubuntu.com/137095/ [23:27] what is the best aim and yahoo messengers that support webcams? [23:27] correct. xchat is not hyperlinking like it did in ubuntu [23:28] anarki: probably because it's built without gnome support or something.. who knows. [23:28] `brandon`: besides, what does "file set-021.rar" say? [23:28] anarki: try the program "speaker-test" to check whether you get any sound [23:28] [it produces white noise] [23:28] android6011: many years ago it was gyach-enhanced for yahoo, don't know about now [23:28] Titan8990: my point is that installing nouveau drivers isn't an easy task :) [23:28] This irc is sick, i cant join my clan server.... [23:28] un|matr|x, you don't have to install them, you just have to tell them to load [23:28] Retkiesa69: that's sad, but it has nothing to do with this channel [23:28] <`brandon`> LjL: nvm there are no Files to unrar [23:29] Titan8990: nouveau is already installed by default in 8.10 ? O.o [23:29] anarki: hmm, it seems "Master" is muted [23:29] Titan8990: How do I do that? [23:29] Can u guys help me? how can i get server named jio.speed [23:30] ciao!

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [23:33] Droopsta915, I like it [23:33] how do i login as root [23:33] anarki: you can then later use "alsactl restore -f mixer-state" to restore it.. [23:33] !root | tflores [23:33] tflores: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [23:33] !sudo | tflores [23:33] tflores: 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) [23:33] ok second issue. firefox download manager acts all funky, i can not right click and open file location. nor does it open them. i have to do all that in file manager. how to fix [23:33] anarki: you don't need to do this though. it's up to you :) [23:34] tflores, if you are in a situation where you MUST have a root shell: sudo -i [23:34] tflores: sudo su :) [23:34] or even better sudo sh [23:34] anarki: no idea, sorry.. [23:34] i laughed so hard when i first notices 'sudo su' worked [23:34] tflores, sudo su is not the preferred method but I suppose it really doesn't matter [23:34] tapas_: no, sudo -i. Sets up the environment better. [23:35] rww: :) [23:35] hi, I'd like to know if there are more differences between ubuntu and kubuntu than the DE ? I can't seem to find recent up to date info [23:35] maybe sudo su -l ? or something :) [23:35] P-Luc_Auclair: They come with different applications installed by default. Apart from that, no. They use the same repositories, kernel versions, etc. [23:35] ah, that's quite similar to sudo -i [23:35] ok, session recovered : [23:35] :) [23:36] rww, thanks ! [23:36] P-Luc_Auclair: Kubuntu 8.04 isn't a Long Term Support release, but Ubuntu 8.04 is. That's the only other difference I can think of. [23:36] the reason why i ask is for some reason clam will not update unless i am in root [23:36] rww, doesn't matter that much in my case :) [23:36] tfolires sudo clam (however you tell it to update) [23:36] rww: except for the vastly different versions of software included ;) [23:36] tflores, ^^^^ [23:36] anyone know how to get nokia phones to connect in data storage mode without error? [23:37] tflores -> is it because it needs access to restricted directories owned by root [23:37] <`brandon`> how do i log in as a root so i can add something to /user/local/ircd/ect? [23:37] tapas: Ubuntu 8.10 and Kubuntu 8.10 (for example) include the same versions of software. They just have different software installed by default. [23:37] tflores, clam is completely unnessary unless A) you host a fileserver that sends files to windows clients B) you run a web server that hosts mail for windows clients [23:37] brandon_, you don't. use sudo [23:37] g4lt-lappy: Do you record music? [23:37] !sudo | `brandon` [23:37] `brandon`: 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) [23:37] <`brandon`> i sudo the file to the location? [23:37] rww: oh, i must have misread, i thought it was about different release numbers.. [23:37] Droopsta915, a bit. I typically just use audacity to clean up recordings though [23:37] like 8.04 vs. 7.10 [23:38] anyone? [23:38] audacious rather [23:38] brandon_, well, first of all you have to figure out what you want to do, no. do you just type file location? [23:38] I use Windows in my stusio but was curious if Linux was ready for a music studio setup. [23:38] in terminal it says "sudo: clam: command not found [23:38] damn, irc is such a timesink.. nite :) [23:39] tflores: so use "sudo clam"? [23:39] tflores, how swould you update clam if you were root? do the same prefaced with sudo [23:39] sudo -i [23:39] meh. im going back to ubuntu. xubuntu isnt ready for desktop distribution in my opinion [23:39] <`brandon`> g4lt-lappy: i want to put ircd.conf into /usr/local/ircd/etc [23:39] Droopsta915, that depends on what ya need to do with it, no pro-tools :/ no aiso, etc [23:39] anarki: they are the same operating system :) [23:39] brandon_, and what command would you use if you were root? preface that with sudo [23:40] is the Ubuntu cd a live cd ? it's not really clear on their website [23:40] kitche, none of the default apps work out of the box like they should. [23:40] not ff, not mixer, nothin [23:40] P-Luc_Auclair: yes live cd and and install cd all in one [23:40] hi. [23:40] I have a quick, and I mean quick question [23:41] knoxville, thanks! [23:41] <`brandon`> sudo su but i do not know the rest [23:41] !ask | morehpperliter [23:41] morehpperliter: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [23:41] P-Luc_Auclair: np [23:41] quicker than the time you just wasted yammering about it? [23:41] What is the command to restart in Terminal? I need to install a geforce 7 driver and it will not install when x server is running. [23:42] <`brandon`> g4lt-lappy: sudo su but i do not know the rest [23:42] morehpperliter: sudo reboot [23:42] anyway to change xubuntu into ubuntu without a full reinstall and without bugs appearing? [23:42] brandon_, no, you certainly wouldn't su file location. figure out what you want to do, put sudo infront of it [23:42] morehpperliter, you only need to restart xserver [23:42] morehpperliter, but I believe you are mistaken, you can install it fine, it won't take affect until xserver restarts [23:42] morehpperliter: to restart x and you can just press Control + Alt + Backspace [23:42] morehpperliter, in which case: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [23:42] No. I have tried. [23:43] Ok [23:43] thanks === keres_ is now known as keres === mehteenager is now known as MrObvious [23:43] morehpperliter, ctl-alt-f2, login, /etc/init.d/gdm stop, install driver, /etc/init.d/gdm start [23:43] iceroot: here? a silly question.. how to update a kernel? say, from 2.6.27.11 to 2.6.28.7? :) [23:43] convert xubuntu > ubuntu without error? [23:44] progre55, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [23:44] progre55: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade [23:44] progre55, 2.6.28 is only available in jaunty [23:44] <`brandon`> g4lt-lappy: would it be sudo export? [23:44] !jaunty | progre55 [23:44] progre55: Jaunty Jackalope is the codename for Ubuntu 9.04, due April 23rd, 2009 - Schedule in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyReleaseSchedule - Lots of breakage between now and April - Please join #ubuntu+1 for discussion and support. [23:44] !xubuntu2ubuntu [23:44] Sorry, I don't know anything about xubuntu2ubuntu [23:44] brandon_, NO. what would you type in at a command line to set up the file? [23:44] oh I see :) Thanks guys [23:45] if you don't know that, you really shouldn't be messing around as root anyways [23:45] g4lt-lappy, so true...lol [23:45] * anarki falls asleep bashing his head on the keyboard waiting for an answer [23:45] <`brandon`> ./configure? [23:46] Titan8990: and there's no way to upgrade it before the release date? ) [23:46] progre55, there IS a way... will it work? no, it won't [23:46] After I upgraded to 8.10 a few lines were commented out of my xorg.conf because they were replaced by HAL. Now my mouse paste functionality is gone and keyboard is too sensitive. I can't seem to fix it in preferences. What can I do to fix it? [23:46] brandon_, do you seriously think that ./configure will add something to /usr/local/etc? [23:46] progre55, you could get it to boot but ubuntu is HEAVILY dependant on the fact that you didn't compile your own kernel [23:47] how would i configure a custome screen resolution that doesn't show up in the GUI ?? i have ubuntu 8.10 [23:47] progre55, which is what provides much of its user friendliness [23:47] !xubuntu to ubuntu you prick bot [23:47] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [23:47] vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf does not have much of anything in it [23:47] Titan8990: so it means I will not have wireless untill the april 23rd? sucks :) [23:48] anarki: ask a question that makes sense [23:48] progre55, its not supported or recommend but if you would like: http://kernel.org/ ---- additional emphasis on not supported, aka good luck [23:48] what wireless card are you using? [23:49] progre55, if the wireless drivers you need are only provided by that kernel, then yes, or you could A) switch to a distro using that kernel B) switch to a distro that support custom kernels [23:49] progre55, but of course, that requires switching distros.... [23:49] meganerd: Atheros, I guess :) [23:49] knoxville: I assume the CD is multilingual too ? [23:49] ubuntu supports custom kernels [23:49] progre55, .... [23:49] progre55, madwifi man [23:49] lot of flux in the madwifi project [23:50] right now [23:50] Titan8990, what's that? :) damn I'm a noob. [23:50] progre55, supports almost every atheros chip under any 2.6.xx kernel [23:50] twolane i did like several times. not my fault no one read it. i want to turn xubuntu into ubuntu without errors and without a full reinstall of the distro [23:50] im having an issue saving a document. it say "There is not enough disk space to save the file. Please free some disk space and try again." [23:50] !madwifi [23:50] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [23:50] progre55, http://madwifi-project.org/ [23:50] tflores, well, you might want to start rming files [23:50] Titan8990, cool! let me do some reading :) be back soon [23:50] tflores: df -h [23:50] progre55, good luck [23:51] I have over 117 gb free though [23:51] what does df say? [23:51] tflores -> in the right partition? [23:51] so no way i can get an atheros based toshiba laptop working out of the box?w/o downloading drivers/software?

[23:57] SweetShadow -> what are the results when you did? [23:57] progre55, its telling you to blacklist madwifi and use ath5k, I personally always use madwifi [23:57] !who | SweetShadow [23:57] SweetShadow: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [23:57] progre55, but thats mainly because its easier to patch for injection [23:57] Titan8990, yeah, actually now I'm using ath5k.. [23:58] Titan8990, how can I switch back to madwifi? :) [23:58] I got this from a webpage modprobe usbserial vendor=0x413c product=0x8137 [23:58] progre55, blacklist ath5k and unblacklist ath_pci and ath_hal [23:58] brandon_, well, what OS did you use previously? I'm sure that the copying function still needed you to either be in the path of the file in quesiton or specify it [23:58] progre55, basically, you do the opposite of that guide [23:58] but I get arror FATAL: Module usbserial not found. [23:58] Titan8990: lol :) ok, let me try [23:59] Zedde, do you often do what a webpage recommends without understanding what it's asking? [23:59] progre55, you may need to install madwifi via apt-get [23:59] progre55, idk, I always compile madwifi from source so I can injection patch first === Guest39604 is now known as Curtis
